	And with that, I think we should do some elephant sex.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, July 23rd, 2017, this is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination, Episode 9-4-9-er.
	This is No Agenda.
	Vending off Antifa and the Czech-blocking Cox.
	And coming to you from the darkest cores of England here in the capital of the drone, Star State, downtown Austin, Teos, in the Clodio, in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the Zephyr just went by, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Ah, yes, the contrast in our opening is just there.
	The energy levels are so compatible.
	What?
	Yes, indeed.
	John, what a crazy couple of days we've had.
	It's crazy.
	It's unbelievable.
	Just crazy.
	Crazy.
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	We were blocked on Twitter for at least a day.
	No, it was probably for about five hours.
	I stopped checking after an hour or two.
	I'm like, whatever.
	I was done with it.
	It doesn't surprise me.
	Well, the thing was, for people that don't care...
	We try to, we post the show on Twitter.
	Yeah, we post a link.
	When we post before the show, we say, hey, we're about to start the live stream.
	We have a little piece of art, and it's a standard tweet.
	Only the episode number changes.
	And then when we tweet out the show when it's up, which is usually within about 35 minutes of the show being done, mind you.
	Yeah.
	Then tweet it out with the link to the, which is also a different URL with the link to the, you know, we have the artwork in there.
	And it seemed like anything with curry.com, anything with no agenda show, anything with no agenda stream, or no agenda notes, all of that was being blocked with some kind of weird message about- Algo.
	Algo about you being some kind of bot by trying to do this.
	I posted a copy of one of the messages into the last newsletter.
	Yes, which is the same one I got even in the morning when I was just promoting the live stream.
	It was exactly the same message.
	Oh, it looks like you're a bot and we have to protect you.
	Well, I just bypassed it and posted the link to SeanHannity.com.
	Which is always a winner.
	Got through.
	And I want to mention that we don't know who it is anymore.
	We no longer know who it is.
	Somebody bought that domain and forwards the link to the No Agenda show.
	And I don't know who it is.
	We love him.
	We love him for us.
	So Sean Hannity calls.
	I got nothing to do with it.
	I got nothing to do with it.
	But, you know, what the problem is, of course, is that if you looked at the message that Twitter was returning back to people, even the link, because I have my own URL shortener, which is l.curry.com slash, you know, a couple of numbers or digits or characters...
	There was a link saying, this link is deemed dangerous for violating our community standards, whatever that is.
	But it could also be stealing your credit card information, killing your grandmother.
	It was a list of horrible things.
	And again, at the bottom, but maybe it just violated our community standards, which is pretty much what happens when people report your link.
	Yeah, we think somebody probably was some...
	Antifa.
	It's Antifa.
	Antifa.
	And then, of course, in the newsletter, I also pointed out that Lauren Southern, a rabble-rousing, troublemaking millennial up in Vancouver, B.C., she had her Patreon account killed.
	Yeah, and killed is a good term, because what was the reasoning she got?
	She was encouraging murder or something.
	Actually, I looked this up because it was too easy for everyone to say, oh, these guys are not too bad.
	I think the exact term was raising funds that may possibly put life in danger or endanger lives, something to that order.
	And as I was watching Lauren's YouTube video about this, before we get to that, let's just stop for a second.
	And say, this is exactly the reason why we have said, be careful what you do with your money if you want to deploy the value-for-value model.
	And people say, well, why don't you use Patreon?
	This is why.
	And there's something even more concerning about Patreon.
	When you look at all their communication with Lauren Southern, it's all about our creators, our creators this, our creators that.
	You guys just used to be a great way to get money.
	And now everyone who's on Patreon is your creator.
	It's icky, gooey, and stinky.
	As if the people using Patreon are their work for them.
	That's kind of the way it comes across to me.
	Yeah, our creators.
	Yeah.
	Our people, our this, our that.
	It's not got nothing to do with you.
	No, it's all about them.
	So, you know, what, of course, will become a problem.
	I hate to put it out there, but eventually someone's going to report us to PayPal, and we will be shut off from PayPal for an X amount of time.
	It's bound to happen.
	Would you not agree?
	I'd be surprised if it didn't.
	Because, I mean, they did it to WikiLeaks.
	But, you know, it goes like this.
	I work with PayPal because we have to keep this thing, you know, running.
	Yes, it's how we pay our rent.
	Yes, it's kind of important.
	And PayPal always provides you with people that are We've been specialists.
	For a while we had our own, you know, kind of guy.
	And then we had our own girl.
	And then now it's become more generalized.
	And I'm always getting the impression of what would happen.
	I say, well, you know, I call one of them up.
	This is the future.
	I call one of them up and they say, well, it's not, I know, you guys are fine.
	It's just somebody else up above.
	We got the word came down.
	Yeah, word came down.
	That's it.
	Yeah, sorry.
	There's really nothing I can do.
	Yeah.
	No, I can't escalate it any higher.
	It's just not possible.
	It's not in my skip logic sheet.
	Anybody can talk to the guy?
	Oh, no.
	No, no.
	Well, you know, we make so much fun if Pierre drive my car.
	By the way, that's the thing about that letter that was sent to Lauren, which was in the last newsletter.
	Yeah.
	It says, this is not open for discussion.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, I have some thoughts about that.
	Because I was watching Lauren's video, and I've never really seen her.
	It turns out Tina likes her, and she follows her.
	Tina likes the rebel rosers.
	And so I'm listening to this video, and she goes into, well, this is just ridiculous about this, you know, raising money that could put lives in danger.
	And then she launches into this whole thing about defend Europe, blah, blah, blah.
	And it's so convoluted, I'm like, hold on a second.
	You are protesting a little too much.
	What is going on?
	And it turns out that she initially wanted to go on this mission, but I guess she sent someone, or a lot of people want to be on this Defend Europe mission.
	I don't know if you've heard of this.
	Well, you have or you haven't?
	I have kind of heard of it.
	It seems like just a futile publicity stunt.
	Well, I think it's very interesting what is happening here.
	We'll explain.
	All right, so this is a group of people who have come up with a short clip with one of the founders.
	I don't know what European country he's from, but he's talking mainly about Italy in this case.
	And they recognize something we have seen for a long time, that we have a bunch of non-governmental organizations, NGOs, and a lot of them, and I did the work for you, you can just, I did the Googles, a lot of them have been financed by the Open Society Institute by George Soros, and they take their rescue boats, and they are now almost off the Libyan coasts.
	So all you have to do is kind of jump in the water, swim, and they'll pick you up, and then they bring you into Europe, and then you're good to go.
	Welcome aboard.
	And there are people in Europe taking issue with this.
	Hold on a second.
	This is not exactly the way it's supposed to go, and what are these NGOs all about?
	I mean, it's one thing to save dying people.
	It's another thing.
	To be, you know, one nautical mile off the coast of Libya just waiting for people to show up?
	And are they maybe in collusion with some of these human traffickers?
	Here's a clip from, this is the intro video on the Defend Europe Mission website.
	This exodus is stabilizing poverty and chaos in Africa that is creating emigration in the first place.
	If you invite the whole of Africa, you don't help Africa, you become Africa.
	But we don't want to become Africa.
	And that's why we are not planning our vacations, but we're planning to do everything in our power to defend Europe.
	The immigration, the Islamization, all those problems, it all started our borders in the Mediterranean Sea and it needs to end there.
	And the problem are those NGOs.
	They are working as water taxis, ferrying migrants from the Libyan shore to Italy, basically cooperating with human trafficking rings.
	They help them earn a fortune and they are luring, as a classical pull factor, migrants in the sea in unfit cocktails which led to the death of many.
	Frontex as well as the Libyan Coast Guard are agreeing on the fact that those NGOs are making the situation worse.
	Italy has even created a strict code of conduct for them a few days ago.
	But nobody actually goes there, controls and polices them.
	Well, until now.
	We have gathered a crew and organized a ship to actually go there in July and guard the borders of Europe.
	Yesterday the Sea Star left the port of Djibouti and is now heading north.
	As soon as we arrive there, we will overwatch the NGOs, record all of the radio signals, expose possible communication with the human traffickers and intervene when they're doing something illegal.
	We will cooperate with the Libyan Coast Guard and inform them every time when an NGO ship tries to enter Libyan waters.
	And we will try to sink all the abandoned migrant traffickerships.
	Do you see the issue here?
	You can't go against the globalist state and use their money supply at the same time.
	It just doesn't work that way.
	It's like, hey, we don't want this.
	We don't want the migrants.
	This is bullcrap.
	So you're thinking Patreon is an agent of the globalist state?
	I think Pierre DriveMyCarMediares, yes, who shut off PayPal for WikiLeaks, have not forgotten.
	Never forget.
	Never forget.
	This guy is the leader of the Austrian Identitarians.
	Sounds groovy, too.
	So, I understand.
	I like it.
	Patreon got a call from somewhere else.
	Hey, you can't be a part of financing this.
	You just can't be a part of that.
	That's why it's not up for discussion.
	It seems very, very cut and dry to me.
	That's what's going on.
	Well, it was cut and dry, and that was the end of that stream, income stream.
	Yes, there is a new one popped up, though.
	A new funding site, Patreon, which I think is pretty cool.
	Patreon?
	No, Hatreons.
	Oh, Hatreons.
	You know why don't you do Matreons?
	By the way, Patreon is very sexist.
	Oh, yes, very wrong.
	How can you ever be a social justice warrior and have a Patreon, patriarchy, Patreon account?
	No, it should be Matreon.
	Yes.
	Well, Hatreon is already up and running.
	I like Hatreon.
	I think Hatreon is very funny.
	Let's see featured creators.
	They're making the same mistake.
	Oh, there's lots of frogs on this website.
	Okay.
	Richard Spencer.
	Is it Pepe the Frog?
	Yes.
	Richard Spencer.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's going to be great.
	Your creators rock, dude.
	Jeez.
	Anyway, you know, Tina was really taken aback by this.
	She said, well, how can that be?
	I'm like, what do you mean, how can it be?
	You just get enough people clicking on a link saying, I suck, and then the algos kick in, and you're done.
	You're absolutely done.
	Now, this was clearly a timed algo, so whatever happened, it came unglued.
	I don't think someone went in and said, oh, gee, these guys must be good.
	Let me just go unblock them.
	No, I agree with that.
	There was totally a time.
	That's why I said try again later.
	Yeah.
	And we did, and we tried, and we tried, but it took five or six hours at least.
	But yeah, this is...
	And I want to say, all of this started with the Mastodon site we set up.
	That's where all this bullcrap started.
	So I'll put a hand on my own bosom for a moment, because you'll recall, what happened is there were social justice warriors calling us KKK and alt-right quadroons.
	And I think it's alt-right Nazi quadroons.
	And everyone at the noagendasocial.com got into it and like, yay, you know...
	Piss off, snowflake.
	So that resulted in us getting onto lists, if it sounds familiar.
	We're on some lists.
	We're on lists.
	Thank you very much.
	And then people are like, let's do a podcast.
	Let's go to their advertisers.
	Well, that didn't work out too well for them because we don't have them.
	But, you know, going after your infrastructure is an obvious next step.
	When that happens, I'm done.
	If they undo it, great, we'll continue.
	And we're not going to go to Bitcoin, let's put it that way.
	Please don't send email about it.
	Can you imagine we had Bitcoin donations and then, oh, hey, well, I just put it in the bank and it went down to $1,800.
	No, I'm sorry.
	Sorry about your rent.
	Oh, well, you'll have to economize somehow.
	And then it pops back up and you're even more pissed.
	You know, the way that you can stop this, first of all, you have to kill the PayPal.
	And you have to kill a couple of them, because we still have a legacy version.
	Which is not necessarily easy.
	Although it did happen with Omadar killing the WikiLeaks money.
	And then we also have checks, which are direct payments.
	Pretty much.
	And we also have direct into bank accounts.
	You have to kill the bank account.
	I love it how people in the chat room immediately go, these guys still don't understand Bitcoin.
	Oh, by the way, it's at $2,800 right now.
	Yeah, fantastic.
	Right.
	These guys still don't understand Bitcoin.
	Now, John, here's better.
	Whenever we get our money, right?
	Every two weeks, there's our little money to go pay our rent.
	Why don't you give that to me?
	I'll day trade it for a little bit, and then I guarantee there'll be more when I give it back to you.
	Guaranteed.
	No problem.
	That's Bitcoin, you morons.
	It's going to be worth a half a million dollars per coin.
	Yeah, that's why I've held on to mine.
	I'm holding on to them.
	That's not the problem.
	Yeah, your one coin is retirement.
	I just don't want to be paid in Bitcoin unless my landlord accepts it.
	Well, let's go back to this thing and ask this question.
	Why do you want to pay us in Bitcoin in the first place?
	Just pay us.
	You've got to take, say you're going to pay us $500 or $100.
	So you could just get us $100 through PayPal or a check.
	It's really easy to do.
	Or you can send us a bill.
	Or you can go to the rigmarole of getting a piece of a Bitcoin, calculating its value, and then having it sent to us, and then we have to calculate its value and put it through.
	It's a rigmarole.
	And there's still $100.
	There's still $100 involved.
	But I still have respect.
	I understand.
	It's idealism.
	Hey, I'm not dealing with PayPal.
	That's idealism.
	It's fine.
	I'm okay with that.
	Checks are great.
	Checks are better than PayPal.
	I'm just saying that I understand.
	We don't want to be a part of the banking system, even though you have to get your money into Bitcoin somehow.
	If you don't want to be part of the banking system, I think you've really got some issues.
	Don't you think?
	Well, I want to be a part of the payment system.
	I'm not saying that I like it.
	I mean, I don't like it either.
	I despise the banking system.
	But yeah, I want to be a part of it.
	But that doesn't mean I'm not going to use it.
	Right.
	What this is, is other people too pussy to do anything, but they want to use us to drive Bitcoin.
	You see, they're not going to say to their boss, fuck you, just pay me in Bitcoin.
	No, but we have to do that.
	That's what's going on here.
	You guys should be the leaders in this.
	We're not leaders, we do news deconstruction.
	People always ask us to do stuff.
	Hey, well, you guys should be more activists.
	I do not.
	Believe me.
	I went to Cal Berkeley.
	I do not want to get involved in activism.
	Except for my wife.
	She should become the city council member up in Port Angeles, Washington.
	But that's as activist as I'm going to get.
	And as I watch the local crap that goes on in these little communities, I can see that big-time activism is just futile.
	It's stupid.
	You're not accomplishing anything.
	Go read John McNamara's book.
	It's a partial biography where he discusses the Vietnam War.
	It turns out that all these protests and everything had nothing to do with the ending of the war.
	What were they about?
	Nothing.
	They got nothing.
	The government doesn't care.
	They do what they do.
	That's true.
	Well, that's true.
	And we're seeing that with this administration.
	We're seeing.
	Government just wants to run the way it's always run by the intelligence agencies.
	They run on everything.
	They run on everything and they don't like it.
	They have their mechanism that they want to use and they use it.
	Hey, correct me if I'm mistaken, but did the rain sticks do their trick once again?
	They always work.
	It's raining.
	The wildfires in Scandinavia.
	Yeah, I know.
	I mean, that's amazing.
	Haven't you noticed by now we've been using these things?
	Yeah, I know.
	And of course, Houston's mad at me because it's been raining, you know, like crazy in Houston.
	And it'll come here to Austin.
	Whenever we shake the rain sticks, three days later, it rains in Austin.
	But the energy somehow is directed.
	And I don't know, it works.
	Even Stephen Hawking is in agreement.
	It has been scientifically proven that the no-agenda rain sticks work.
	You're welcome, Canada.
	Proof from the BBC, right there.
	Proof.
	There you go.
	If Hawking says it, then you know it's got to be true.
	So again, we have the North Koreans.
	This bogus story, the new bogus story about they're going to, again, by the way, we played the clip, I think, just a few weeks ago, back from about two or three years ago, where the North Koreans were going to bomb Hawaii.
	It's happening.
	It's real, people.
	I mean, this was like three years ago.
	They were going to bomb Hawaii.
	We moved a bunch of ships nearby that had anti-missile technology.
	God knows what it costs to drive one of those things over from point A to point B. Let me just see if I have a clip from, was it three years ago, you said?
	About two and a half, three years ago.
	I think Hawaii would be on there.
	You found it last time pretty easily.
	Also tonight, American warships are tracking a North Korean vessel off the coast of China.
	December 2nd, 2014.
	You were right, just about three years ago.
	Yeah.
	So this is the updated version.
	Here we go again.
	This clip is DPRK Hawaii.
	Americans will be banned from traveling to North Korea as tensions with that country continue to rise.
	The threat has officials in Hawaii concerned enough that they are rolling out a preparedness plan which includes sheltering in place in the event North Korea launches a missile.
	Duck roll and cover.
	Shelter in place.
	I love Hawaii stories.
	I'm sorry.
	No, I just love Hawaii stories and get to play in the Ventures.
	Just one second.
	All right, that's all I needed to hear.
	Now, yes, all I think you can legally play.
	And of course, CBS, which is the outlet of the real government spokespeople, they have a little longer, this Hawaii under threat is a little longer.
	Officials in Hawaii are launching a campaign to help residents plan for a possible nuclear attack from North Korea.
	It comes weeks after North Korea successfully test-fired an...
	Man, this is such a bummer.
	Just last night, I said to Tina, look, a tiny house in Hawaii.
	Maybe that's where we can retire.
	And now that's off the table.
	It comes weeks after North Korea successfully test fired an intercontinental missile that could potentially reach the Aloha State.
	Here's Carter Evans.
	North Korean missile launches are now much more than just scary images for the nearly one and a half million people who live in the Hawaiian Islands.
	Based on what you've seen, can a North Korean missile hit Hawaii?
	Yeah, I think there's no question about that.
	Jeffrey Lewis is a nuclear policy expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
	It's frightening, and so we need to take it seriously.
	But we also need to be calm, and we need to be measured, and we need to know that there are things that we can do.
	First, you duck, and then you cover.
	Hawaii will not dust off these 1950s-era civil defense drills.
	What they are doing is warning residents that if a missile is launched, prepare not just for the initial strike, but also the fallout.
	That could mean sheltering in place for up to two weeks.
	And they read the same release, didn't they?
	The whole shelter in place...
	This is unconscionable, as far as I'm concerned.
	This is terrorism right here.
	This is terrorism.
	This is terrorism.
	Someone needs to do a mix of the ventures and duck and cover.
	It would work great.
	Even though the threat is small, we can't ignore it.
	Vern Miyagi is with Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency, and he says there's a difficult balance between warning the public and scaring off tourists.
	When I see stuff like Hawaii prepares for nuclear attack, that's way overboard.
	We're not preparing for a nuclear attack.
	This is just a hazard, like tsunamis, like hurricanes.
	Natural disasters, though, can't be prevented.
	Nuclear attacks can.
	A nuclear war is just such a horrible outcome that every moment you spend preparing for it is probably better spent trying to prevent it from ever happening.
	Hawaii's tourism authority is also taking the threat very seriously, the threat to the state's bottom line.
	This is the height of the busy summer travel season, and they're saying the risk is not big enough to cancel any trips.
	Rena?
	Why am I getting deja vu of Puerto Rico when I hear this story?
	I don't know.
	I get deja vu of the 2014 report that said pretty much the same thing.
	I'm getting a deja vu.
	I'm thinking, you know, Hawaii has, it's very heavily dependent upon federal government.
	Then there's a little mention of, oh, we don't want to scare off the tourists.
	Guess what?
	You're scaring off the tourists.
	Maybe there's some kind of, is there a Hawaii financial package coming?
	Let me see.
	I don't think so.
	I don't know.
	I could be totally wrong.
	This is just my spidey sense.
	I got lots of financial.
	Spidey sense!
	Spidey sense!
	Well...
	Spidey sense.
	We have people on the islands.
	They'll let us know.
	Yeah, we do.
	We have a few.
	I don't think that's it.
	No, this is, I think, the same as the 2014 thing.
	It's like, they don't want, for one thing, they do not, they want to scare us about North Korea.
	And they don't want people going there.
	I mean, they can stop in tourist visas because people are going there.
	I'm sure there's a lot of them.
	They don't give us any numbers, but I'm sure there's enough because I want to go.
	And they're coming back saying, what?
	This is pretty cool over there.
	I don't see any big deal.
	Then they got that guy arrested who was stealing posters.
	But, and then who died mysteriously.
	Yeah.
	And so they emphasize that.
	They don't emphasize, they don't talk to anybody who just goes over there to take pictures or look at the scenery.
	Or to see what kind of service they have to put up with in the restaurants and hotels.
	Or that crazy zoo.
	Where's my Yelp?
	Where's my Yelp reviewers?
	When I saw that picture of that zoo, look up the North Korean zoo and just take a look at that thing.
	It's outstanding.
	It's like, wow, it's a modern looking cool zoo.
	Yeah.
	They don't want anybody coming back with pictures.
	Just keep people from going there.
	No pictures.
	Put out these bogus stories and then scare the Hawaiians.
	We can't scare the people in Seattle because you can hit Seattle from North Korea as easy as you can.
	Hawaii, period.
	It's what, another five feet?
	No, no, no, no.
	We don't want to do that because the Seattleites will get all bent out of shape.
	Microsoft's up there.
	Amazon's up there.
	We can't do that.
	And you know, Seattle has real problems right now.
	I mean, serious, serious problems.
	Have you heard?
	What?
	Serious problems.
	Late afternoon, and thousands of Amazon workers are ending their day.
	They're streaming out of the company's ever-expanding compound of glassy, glossy office buildings in the South Lake Union neighborhood.
	Heading for the Whole Foods or running for the streetcar.
	This is the world of young techies, Kate and John Walter.
	We're in this situation where we're living in a small apartment just to kind of make ends meet right now.
	John says rents are rising so fast they can't save up to buy.
	He's thinking about...
	Using the experience here, leaving and going somewhere where rent isn't so astronomical and could only get worse.
	John likes Seattle's latest idea.
	Tax the people who make more than $250,000 a year to raise $140 million a year for things like affordable housing, services for the homeless, and transit, so people can get to work from the places where they can afford to work.
	It's what you've always been asking for, John.
	It's a wealth tax.
	Of course, they're now saying two people...
	This is not a wealth tax.
	This is an income tax.
	Hold on.
	I want to make something clear about the wealth tax.
	Income tax, where you're taxing somebody's income stream, is a lot different than taxing somebody's tangible assets.
	Agreed, agreed.
	And this is not a wealth tax.
	Agreed.
	It's just a gouging tax.
	Yes, and the gouging apparently happens at a combined income of $250,000.
	Nice.
	Would you say the same thing if it was you making over $250?
	Yeah, I would.
	There's zero income tax here.
	Yeah, let's get social.
	So I absolutely would.
	Socialism's not bad.
	Kate says if she ever made a quarter million in a year, she wouldn't want to be singled out.
	Why is it fair that I worked so hard to get to that point and now I'm forced to pay more?
	I, on the other hand, make so much money that I could afford seven apartments.
	Oh, you get the idea.
	You get the idea.
	Just a bunch of whining techies up in the Amazon.
	What do they do?
	They just pick and pack.
	I don't know.
	What technical stuff are they doing?
	Pick and pack.
	Hey, what's this box going on?
	I don't know.
	Put it in this giant box.
	You ever get like an Amazon package?
	It's a huge box.
	A little item in this huge box because it just so happened to be the box going by on the assembly line.
	I don't know how it works, but yeah, I've seen the big box.
	He cracks me up every time.
	The box weighs nothing.
	So you see the guy lugging.
	I have stair steps to get up to the house, and so the guy's lugging.
	This box is a huge box, and oh, this poor bastard.
	He's carrying this huge box.
	There's nothing in the box.
	It's dead empty.
	It's got one USB thing in it.
	But I find the number so incredulous.
	$250,000.
	Okay, so $250,000 per person combined $500,000.
	Yeah, you're definitely rich, but were the people who make that money...
	You have good cash flow is what you've got.
	Being rich, you don't have an income, you're just living it up.
	Okay.
	Seems to me, I don't know, I'm around a lot of rich people in this area, and you are too.
	And the rich, of the richest, they don't really have an income.
	A lot of them like to, in fact, here's my favorite thing they like to do is mock, mock the little man.
	Oh, I'm only taking one dollar for my salary.
	You ever seen that?
	I mean, I think Gates pulled that.
	Every once in a while, I think Steve Jobs did it.
	Yeah, Steve Jobs did it.
	I'm only making a dollar.
	What?
	What?
	Get out of here, you phony.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I'm only making a dollar.
	Exactly.
	Oh, well.
	Just seems like...
	More nonsense.
	But it's more the social stuff, you know?
	Everyone's going to be, oh, it's great.
	You know, talking about...
	Because when they describe Seattle, like, oh, the Amazon tech workers, and they go to Whole Foods, a little Starbucks, I'm like, oh, man, that sounds like Austin.
	I hate to say it, but we have gone down that path a little.
	And I'm driving down the garage, you know, six flights, which are disturbingly long.
	And there's been this Lamborghini that's parked.
	Not even in a reserved spot, mind you.
	One of the new Lamborghinis?
	Yes, yes.
	Brand new.
	There's a couple of the new ones.
	There's a lot of them in L.A. There's a place across from this bookstore I go to, Samuel French, that just...
	It releases cells.
	I don't know what they do, but they got a bunch of these Lambos.
	And there's one new one that I looked at.
	This thing is outrageous.
	It looks like it's from outer space.
	I've never seen anything so amazing.
	I don't know if this is one of them, because I've only seen the rear end.
	And it's parked there all the time.
	It gets dusty, and then after a week or so, it's been cleaned.
	Go over there and scrape with your finger.
	Wash me.
	And then put a smiley face.
	You're going to want a better slogan.
	Because he finally got the temp plates taken off and now he's got his permanent plates.
	Yeah.
	0.001 PCT. That's his license plate.
	I'm part of the 0.01% bitches.
	That's what he's saying.
	Oh, is that what he's...
	What an ass.
	That is a dick move.
	And he's looking for keys.
	Somebody should T-bone that guy.
	T-bone.
	Can you believe that?
	I really want to know who that belongs to.
	I gotta see this guy.
	Or girl, it could be a woman.
	We never think of that, do we?
	Women are just not so douchey.
	They could be douchey.
	Nah, but you never see a douchey woman in a Lambo.
	I've never seen a douchey woman in a Lambo.
	It's really more of a man's car, too.
	Barely.
	You've got to have a small penis to want that car.
	Really, really micro-penis, probably.
	I don't have a micro-penis, and I want that car.
	Well, pictures or it didn't happen, Dvorak.
	Although, I have to say, I don't have one.
	And if I really wanted one, I would have one, I would think.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, I know people that got into the Ferrari.
	They get a Ferrari.
	Yeah.
	And it becomes a lifestyle thing.
	It's a decision you make because it changes the way you spend money.
	House or car.
	House or car.
	That's pretty much your decision right there.
	And you end up with the car.
	The car is very hard to maintain.
	You have to drive it.
	You actually have to drive it.
	The dealers, because I knew a guy with a one, the guys bitch at you if you don't drive it a lot because these cars are meant to be driven.
	They're not Museum pieces.
	I saw one in Rome.
	A blue Ferrari with an old dude just racing around.
	Just to the roundabouts in front of the Colosseum.
	I don't know.
	In Beverly Hills, if you go to any restaurant there.
	Now you were cruising, right?
	You were cruising Beverly Hills.
	There's a bunch of douchebags in Lambos.
	They're all Arabs.
	And they go like 90 miles an hour making as much noise as they can.
	They keep in the lowest gear.
	And they just go around.
	And if they get busted, they just leave the country.
	It's unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, it's like my racism there.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, it's okay.
	We all know.
	Yeah, find out who this guy is.
	And why is he living in your apartment?
	How come he's not some, you know, mini mansion or a mansion?
	Well, because, I mean, look, we've got the Google building going up right next to us.
	I mean, downtown is going to be Tech Mecca, I presume.
	Maybe he's in the penthouse.
	Is there a penthouse in that place?
	Yes, I've seen it.
	Well, that's his place.
	He's up there.
	Well, why doesn't he have a reserved parking spot, then?
	Maybe he does.
	Maybe that's where he keeps his Bugatti.
	Okay.
	Enough about that.
	Conversations are weird.
	Okay, here's my last one of these conversations.
	So I see Larry Ellison.
	I think I've told the story a couple years ago.
	He's at the San Francisco airport and he's got one of those Nissan GTs, which is an $85,000.
	It's a supercar, but it's a cheap supercar.
	It's $85,000 or less than $100,000, which is, I guess, inexpensive.
	I got to drive one once and I didn't like it personally.
	But anyway, so he's getting out of it and I pull up.
	I say, hey Larry!
	Because I didn't expect to see him.
	I've seen him before, but I didn't expect to see him in one of these cars.
	I expected a Lambo or a Ferrari.
	And I said, what do you think of that car?
	Because I know about these cars.
	And he says, this is the best car I own.
	He says, it's much better than the Bugatti.
	That's the best answer I could think of.
	I'm thinking, okay, bye.
	Yeah.
	Hey, really, Spud Boy?
	Really, you think so?
	Douche.
	Anyway, we'll just, yeah, because of course now I live in a bag in a building with a 0.01 percenters.
	Yeah, that's exactly it.
	That's right, everybody.
	Yeah, I'm rich.
	Podcasting rich I am.
	Woo!
	Don't get me started.
	You got to get a personalized place.
	P-O-D-C-A-S-T-R. Yeah, that'll look great.
	Yeah, right next to that guy.
	In the first clip I played about the Defend Europe mission, you heard that they were leaving from Djibouti.
	And Djibouti is one of my favorite places in Africa.
	Because you like saying it.
	Because I like saying it mainly because it's not my Djibouti, it's your Djibouti.
	And we have a base there, the drone base, the African drone base, which flies all over.
	You can zip across the Gulf there, go check out Yemen, go down, check out Somalia, what's going on.
	But also, for a while, there's been a base from the new organization set up by Eric Prince, who we, of course, know from Blackwater and Z and later Academy.
	And he's not found much love at the tail end of the Obama administration for gigs.
	I don't think the Trump administration is interested in him.
	So he's turned to the Chiners.
	And this has been bubbling under for a while, that his new clients are the Chinese, but he's really doing some interesting things when it comes to the...
	The pearly necklace or whatever the Chinese think they're building.
	So a few years back, he...
	This, by the way, is a...
	I think this is a retired Green Beret.
	Who is this?
	Derek Gannon.
	Became, I guess, the new head of a private...
	I don't want to say military, but private security corporation or company that is basically Chinese-owned.
	It's called Frontier Services Group.
	Now, he went to Beijing and proposed this new private industry, private security company to the major investors in China.
	A state-owned investment company purchased the majority of the proposal and is basically pretty much the sole investor, sole owner of the Frontier Services Group.
	Since then, Eric Prince and his Chinese-owned Frontier Services Group has really been trying to expand in Africa itself and actually now currently Afghanistan.
	But To kind of reiterate with the Chinese base, the Chinese naval base in Djibouti, there's touting that that's going to be used for security along the Somali coast.
	But a couple months back, Eric Prince's Frontier Services Group had just won a security contract and a development contract for southwest state and southern Somalia.
	It's all a part of China's plan for what they call a string of pearls.
	The String of Pearls kind of scenario is China building all those islands up in Spratly, in the Spratly Islands region in the South China Sea.
	It's just all of a sudden just cropping up these, you know, Legoland-like bases, which they can only—I mean, they don't call them bases.
	Some of them are touted as desalination centers, but then you see the 3D satellite overlay images, and they've got missile systems— Anti-aircraft missiles, fighter planes, bays, and runways that can basically...
	I think we need to bring this Prince dude in.
	We need to have him on the hill.
	We should be talking to him.
	What you doing, boy?
	What's up with that?
	Yeah, something's up.
	The Chinese are building little islands and little...
	Yeah, well, this is the big stink that we're making.
	We always have our boats going by.
	They're saying, you guys are building too many...
	They're building islands that I guess is going to be...
	I don't blame them.
	I mean, just because we're dominating the region, I don't know.
	Well...
	I don't know.
	Well, I mentioned it, and it has something to do, I'm sure, with the African policy that China has.
	Which probably brings me, I should read this, our economic hitman.
	Oh, good.
	You got a note from him.
	Fabulous.
	I do have a note from him, and it might be worth reading.
	And to explain the economic hitman, you really need to go and read the book, Confessions of the Economic Hitman, by John Perkins.
	Read the first one, not the second one.
	And get the first one.
	The second one is after he got co-opted and threatened, I guess.
	It wasn't all that bad.
	Pretty much.
	Have a read of that.
	Have a read.
	Where the concept is, we go in, we say, hey, you know, guess what?
	We're going to help you rebelize everything.
	We're going to put you in power, and then we're going to build it all back up with our companies here.
	Bechtel.
	What were the other ones?
	Bechtel.
	Bechtel's the main one.
	That's what we worked for.
	KKR. There's a bunch of these guys.
	Yeah.
	He works, this economic hitman works for the USAID mostly.
	Yeah.
	And I've listened to every single show he writes since HRC lost and Trump won.
	I do so because I'm a creature of heaven.
	What else can I listen to which lasts three hours?
	Well, I do not support HRC. I was and remain 100% opposed to DJT. Mm-hmm.
	I am so for practical reasons, which I do not believe.
	Make it onto your shows.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Well, probably not.
	Is he going to help us?
	Mainly because we don't talk policy.
	I tell this to people.
	We're not policy analysts necessarily.
	We deconstruct news.
	Examine the damage to diplomacy and the real threat to lives overseas as a direct result of his cuts to USAID and state.
	Bring to the State Department.
	So what he's saying is he doesn't like it that his budget's being cut.
	No.
	If you listen, he does it.
	It's not, yes, that's the way we would deconstruct it, but he would see it differently.
	He says we're hurting poor people.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay.
	Yeah, as I laugh.
	He is ceding to China.
	This is what really bugs him.
	Really?
	Trump, he says Trump is ceding to China?
	He says he is ceding to China, all of Africa and many parts of Asia with his isolationist stands.
	His belief that we will only give money to countries which present a strategic relationship is born from the mouth of Bannon and will result in a complete abandonment of Africa and other regions where our diplomacy and financial support has been held.
	It is helpful to lift countries out of the morass and into a demographic and economic transition.
	As for refugees, I designed the software which manages all the refugees relocation agencies and it remains in place to this very day from 10 years ago when I found it completely paper-based solution of, and there was a paper that was computerized since 1975, not a single relocated refugee has participated in any type of terrorist activity within the USA.
	The Boston bombings were asylum cases.
	There have been 11 Somalis who have left the USA and been killed back in Somalia, but they were known and could not have returned to the USA back to the right.
	Now this to me seems like an aside.
	In other words, what I think he's accumulated is a bunch of complaints that the media has been kind of feeding, and he's writing it up for us to consider.
	Anyway, he goes on about how the refugee relocation system, is what he's saying here, is okay.
	It's not a big deal, and it's not like the way Trump presents it, but Trump hasn't done anything anyway.
	He says, I went to Jordan and saw people waiting for years to have their refugee status affirmed.
	Hold on.
	What people?
	People from Syria?
	Yeah, sure.
	But it's just a percentage.
	It's a fraction of what's coming into the United States and Europe.
	It's just a fraction.
	Of course we have empathy.
	The most difficult case to place in the United States is a single male.
	Nearly 80% of the refugees are families, father, mother, and children.
	These people get five points per case.
	Every Wednesday, the refugee, and he goes on with a bunch of details about this and how they're placed in North Dakota and all the rest.
	Anyway, let's see if there's anything I can skip.
	Detroit.
	Well, I look at Dearborn, Michigan, where the largest Iraqi population exists in the United States, and there are no issues.
	Except for the pricing of hummus over there at that one deli.
	Look at Wisconsin, which took on Hmong from Cambodia.
	Nothing has happened, etc., etc.
	Although he has ECC. But here's what I don't understand.
	And I have big respect for our economic hitman.
	Moreover, that he likes to communicate with us.
	It's not necessarily at issue that these are terrorists.
	I don't think that's the problem.
	It's like, hey, hold on a second.
	Before bringing all these people in, how many, what's the deal?
	You're ghettoizing them.
	That's just a fact.
	It's not the same as the migrant who comes in and then, you know, lands in Brooklyn.
	I guess that would be crazy now.
	You can't live in Brooklyn.
	But you know what I mean.
	Queens.
	And, you know, start something and work.
	It's not exactly the same thing.
	It's like, here's a whole bunch of people.
	Put them near the house building project that's being done by your buddies who run, you know, Jamie Dimon and those guys up in Michigan.
	Or put them over here where they can do this kind of work.
	Send them over to the Yoplait guys at Yoplait.
	Or no, what's the other yogurt firm that's hiring refugees?
	I have no idea.
	Yeah.
	I think there needs to be a little...
	We need a...
	How about a policy?
	Just something we understand what's going on and not just bring people in.
	Is it because we're not making enough children?
	Okay, then we should do that.
	How do we integrate?
	Do we just put up signs in more languages like Europe?
	Or does everyone learn English?
	These are the things that bother people.
	I don't think the problem necessarily is terrorism.
	I just don't see that as the number one issue.
	Is that person taking my job because they actually might get a leg up?
	Those are the questions.
	Yeah, well...
	He obviously doesn't like Trump, and of course we are always perceived as sort of Trump.
	I got some anti-Trump stuff for today's show.
	Oh, good.
	I mean, we're not trying to be...
	Yeah, I got actually a really good one, too, that's like, Trump needs to be asked about this.
	I suspect it's kind of sketchy, because it came from democracy now.
	But, you know, when you see the tweets and the impeach him and the Maxine Waters and all this stuff, our job is to not...
	is to...
	Tone it down and say, what is the reality of these things?
	It's got nothing to do with...
	And Trump is the president.
	So what are we supposed to do?
	Once the guy's elected, you just put up with him if you don't like it.
	You know, just constantly carp like Reiner does.
	You know, we tried to watch last night because I saw it on Fallon.
	Netflix now has a, I think it's like a 10-part series, and it's called The Stand-Ups or something like this, The Stand-Ups.
	They have 10 different comedians.
	Oh my God, the first three, we couldn't get through it.
	It was just all Trump's dumb hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
	And finally, Dion's...
	What's this guy's last name?
	A black guy comes on.
	Very funny.
	But he just said, I'm going to do a lot of black jokes in a room full of white people.
	And, you know, white people love that!
	It's the best.
	But, Joe, I mean, comedy is just...
	It's no longer funny.
	It gets people...
	It gets a laugh, but even the laughs aren't even.
	It's like, oh, it's so...
	People know what's coming.
	They know what's coming.
	The punchline is clear.
	Okay, now that you mention that, let's go to Jimmy Kimmel.
	Kimmel has decided to do Trump material because of Stephen Colbert getting so much attention.
	I'm going to play this clip.
	This is Kimmel doing Trump material flawed.
	Today, in case you didn't know, today is March six months of President Trump.
	That's right, he's already halfway through his presidency.
	How can it only be six months?
	Yesterday alone felt like six months of the Trump administration.
	That fell pretty flat.
	So there's a joke in there.
	Yeah, which fell really flat.
	It didn't even get, it got nothing.
	It got, falling flat is not the word for this.
	But he says, and you can play it again, it's very short.
	He said he's halfway through his presidency at six months.
	That was the joke.
	You got the joke.
	I was wondering whether he'd blow by it, because I think it just blew by the audience.
	He says six months he's halfway through his presidency, and it just, no reaction.
	His delivery was off.
	Today, in case you didn't know, today is marked six months of President Trump.
	That's right.
	He's already halfway through his presidency.
	He didn't wait for the applause.
	The applause came, interrupted the flow, and he didn't pay it off with the right pacing.
	Well, today marks six months of the Trump presidency.
	It's great.
	Halfway through his presidency.
	That's how you've got to do it a little differently.
	There's a lot of ways he could have handled it.
	He mishandled the joke.
	He fumbled it.
	It was a fumble.
	Fumble, fumble.
	And he, and it got, I don't think anybody in the audience even heard it.
	And if they did, you have to wonder, you know, maybe they were thinking, yeah, he's only halfway through.
	I mean, I honestly believe that a lot of people actually thought that was a fact.
	That's the sad, that's very sad, but it could be.
	I'm guessing so.
	And if we go outside, because he does lie witness news about Jeff Sessions, and he goes out onto the street in L.A. Let's just explain again when it comes to...
	Lie witness news is a gimmick he does as a man on the street report, but what he does is he sets up a false premise.
	And they choose whatever answers they want, obviously.
	Well, it's a false premise.
	In other words, it's bullcrap.
	He says, what do you think about Moscow being bombed to oblivion last week?
	Was that good or bad?
	Was that the question?
	And they're going to blame us for it.
	What do you think?
	Was that the question?
	No, that's not the question.
	This question is different.
	But I'm just saying that's the common premise.
	That's a really good one.
	You should send that in.
	They should use that.
	That's funny.
	They should.
	And the way this works, because it's Los Angeles, everybody wants to be on television.
	And so they make stuff up.
	They pretend they know something when they don't know anything.
	So this question was, you think it's something about Jeff Sessions, about the Attorney General investigating Jeff Sessions.
	Right.
	And Jeff Sessions is the Attorney General.
	So it makes it kind of funny.
	What do you think the Attorney General should do about Jeff Sessions' ties to Russia?
	Oh my God.
	I think that we need to cut all ties to Russia, right?
	That's right, yeah.
	What do you think the Attorney General should do about Jeff Sessions' ties to Russia?
	I definitely think he should see what's up with that, maybe submit a few inquiries.
	What do you think the Attorney General should do about Jeff Sessions' ties to Russia?
	I think he should try to get him to tell more about what he knew and why he didn't come forward sooner about that.
	What would you say if I told you that Jeff Sessions and the Attorney General are the same person?
	That would make sense.
	Do you believe Jeff Sessions, when he says he's more loyal to the Confederacy of Dunces than to Russia?
	I do.
	You do?
	I do.
	And who is Jeff Sessions?
	I'm glad I'm, I guess, under, under, any from Russia?
	Who is Jeff Sessions?
	Jeff Sessions, is that the guy that has been known for talking about Trump doing this and that?
	Did they follow it up by asking to name all the Kardashians, including the children, which of course everybody knew?
	The funny thing is they don't do that.
	That would have been the obvious one.
	That's kind of it.
	Jay Leno used to do that.
	Yeah.
	When he'd go out on the street, he'd find some idiots they don't know anything about.
	And you'd have pictures.
	You'd have a picture of Lincoln.
	They'd say, who's that?
	I don't know.
	And then they'd have a picture of a Kardashian.
	They would identify all these.
	But here's what's odd in this.
	If you look at Dimension A, Dimension B, this is clearly a Dimension A segment.
	But they're making Dimension B people look stupid.
	Because they're all, oh yeah, Trump.
	Yes, this is true.
	They're making a dimension B people look dumb.
	It's a dimension A segment, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't know that they know they're doing that.
	But when you go out onto the street, which is mostly Dimension B, you're going to get these kinds of answers.
	I mean, sure, there's a few people they're going to run into who are not funny and they're going to know all this stuff.
	But there's so many people that don't know anything.
	And that's why I think that audience may not have thought twice about the six months halfway through his presidency.
	They probably think the presidency is a year.
	Could be.
	This is really sad.
	I was reading a piece the other day, and it talked about the cognitive revolution, which is all about dimension A, dimension B, the way we view it.
	And the author of this, and I'll put it in the show notes, 949.knowagendanotes.com.
	You can get to it from archive.knowagendanotes.com.
	Basically broke the two dimensions into this.
	One dimension that still recognizes and acknowledges and understands lions and tigers and trees and wind.
	And then you have dimension B, which is, you know, gods, nations, corporations, you know, like Google.
	When you think about it, what is Google?
	You know, it is seen as this huge behemoth.
	And it's really, it's nowhere.
	It's everywhere and it's nowhere.
	But people have in their heads Google as this all-encompassing wonder thing.
	You know what I mean?
	Now that you mention, I have no idea what people think when they think of Google.
	They don't think of what Google is, which is warehouses around the world filled with servers and a campus over in Mountain View and an offshoot campus in San Francisco.
	That's the way I see it from a realistic perspective.
	And the new office is in Austin.
	I went to the Fiber Store.
	Remember I had the problem with my credit card?
	Yes, you did.
	You went to the Fiber Store.
	This is an interesting experience.
	Well, finish this and then talk about the Fiber Store.
	store.
	Okay.
	The lie witness news.
	He doing what he wants to do, stuff like that.
	Yeah.
	And do you know what his specific role in the government is?
	Is he a part of the governor in Russia?
	Yeah.
	I have no idea who Jeff Sessions is.
	Do you have any idea who the Attorney General is?
	I thought that was Jeff Sessions.
	It is.
	Congratulations.
	Congratulations.
	My millennials.
	Stay woke!
	You win, she says.
	You know, I bet that half the people in the audience laughing, they didn't know either.
	I bet you they didn't know either who Jeff Sessions is.
	I would say half.
	You're probably right about half.
	If they had people coming, yeah.
	Maybe they should, here's what, maybe Kimmel should add this.
	Oh, he'll never do this.
	I like the idea.
	Go ahead.
	No, he might do it.
	You do it at the beginning of the show.
	As they come in, you start asking people a little quiz about something they're going to do later in the show.
	In other words, the man on the street thing.
	So they ask, you know who Jeff Session is?
	They don't have to do the whole audience, but you do maybe the first hundred people.
	And you pick the dumbos.
	You don't Well, I think you just do it for the purposes of the stat.
	You could say 40% of the audience doesn't know who Jeff Sessions is.
	Just for statistical reasons.
	The network will never allow that.
	Yeah, you're probably right.
	Never.
	The network will be like, you're calling our viewers dumb.
	But clearly the people on the street are all Fox News viewers.
	They're all dumb.
	Even though they hate Trump and they don't get it.
	But this is, I mean, does the news media who we cover, do they not look at this and think to themselves, well, we're not doing a very good job.
	Is that not part of their job?
	Their job is to sell pills and drugs and medicine.
	That's the way they see it.
	I don't believe for a minute that anybody in the news media, I mean maybe some newbie who hasn't got a clue comes into the media and says, oh my god, we've got to educate the public.
	Those are the people that end up on the Democracy Now!
	Or the Pacifica Radio!
	Or some of these very idealistic operations where they think they're educating the public.
	Or maybe NPR. Oh, okay.
	Well, since you bring that up, then.
	I got one NPR clip I'm just dying to play.
	What's her name?
	She has a podcast, this woman.
	Juliet K.M. Juliet K.M.? Does that ring a bell from NPR? No.
	When you hear her, you'll know immediately.
	So she's doing the NPR thing on the podcast, which is...
	That's a really close mic and talk very much like this.
	Yes, I get it.
	Okay.
	And she has a theory about why Trump is not making trouble for Putin.
	And she's convinced and she should know because she's mainstreamed.
	It is now fair to say, in my opinion, that Trump is enabling Putin and his assistance for his re-elect in 2020.
	There's not a single thing Donald Trump has done as president.
	There's not a single thing he has said.
	There's not a single action that can be interpreted in any way to suggest he's angry, concerned or nervous about what the Russians could do in 2020 to make me feel otherwise.
	So I don't wonder why isn't Trump motivated to do something right.
	I actually look at the evidence, his failure to accept the intelligence community, his failure to implement any policies that would guide the U.S. government to protect itself, his failure to support new sanctions against Russia coming out of the Senate with a near majority vote.
	That doesn't happen either.
	And his attempts to water it down in the House.
	You don't have to wonder anymore.
	Right.
	This is about 2020.
	Right?
	The only real takeaway, the only one that matters, is that our President of the United States is enabling our enemy, the President of Russia, so that he can be President again in 2020.
	Oh, man.
	What?
	Is she nuts?
	Yeah.
	And I've noticed something else.
	She doesn't have the noise gauge.
	So she has the fan in the background.
	Let me see if I can do this.
	She's got a bunch of racket going on.
	Yeah.
	I think I can replicate it.
	Let me take off the noise gauge and put on the fan.
	There we go.
	And you have to do that big inhale.
	It's very clear to me that President Trump is really just facilitating President Putin because he'll know that he'll help him in the next election in 2020.
	You left the rights out.
	Right?
	I can't.
	It makes me want to puke.
	Really unbelievable.
	Unbelievable!
	And this is a journalist.
	I don't think she would say this on her own show, on NPR. She'll only do it on the podcast.
	That she'll say this kind of outrageous stuff.
	Because it is.
	Well, that's the great thing about podcasting.
	You get to hear stuff you wouldn't normally hear.
	You've said so yourself.
	You've always said these guys think they go on a podcast.
	I'm on a podcast.
	I'll just say whatever I feel like.
	It's the best.
	Russia.
	Don't worry.
	Russia.
	Be happy.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for Can't Sell Our People Pills and Potions, Dvorak.
	Back.
	I'll see you next week.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships at sea.
	Boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water.
	All the dames and knights out there.
	Yeah, I'll say in the morning to everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	I'm glad I could tweet out at you today and in the morning to...
	Illuminaria.
	Illuminaria brought us the artwork for episode 9 or 4 or 8.
	The title of that was Chowhound.
	And we had a number of very good mac and cheese bits.
	This obviously coming along in light of the exposure of the phthalates in mac and cheese from Kraft, the powdered crap, being responsible for sick amygdala syndrome and other social behavioral issues.
	Gee!
	I tweeted out one of our artists.
	This is really cool, John.
	You should retweet that if you can find it after the show.
	One of our artists who did artwork for this show, which we didn't use, he did a time lapse of him listening.
	He's done two of these.
	This is the second one.
	Oh, I had never seen it.
	Yeah, he did a time lapse of listening to the show, thinking, oh, okay, I'll do this.
	And then he shows what he's putting together.
	There's a lot of work that goes into that.
	Much more than I think anyone really realizes.
	Yes, I meant to retweet it when it came out, and I forgot to.
	It's fantastic.
	It's really great.
	Yeah, he's a good guy.
	I can't remember his name, but his art's been accepted a couple of times, and he's one of the guys.
	We appreciate what he's done.
	That's why we always thank our artists, because we do realize how hard it is, even though it's good to be your nose put in the facts once in a while.
	And everyone else who uploads at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And I also have a slew of dudes named Ben and dudettes named Bernadette who want to help out with, you know, the Drupal experts.
	We got a lot.
	We have so many cool people in our producing audience.
	Oh, we got some responses to this?
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Oh, people with infrastructure, you know, big CEOs of data companies.
	Like, it's crazy what we've got listening.
	We should run some server stats and see how many people are listening.
	Which we'll never know.
	We'll never know, really.
	We do know people whom we can thank that have contributed at the executive producer and associate executive producer levels.
	That we do know.
	We can start by naming them.
	Brandon Turner, for example, he's in Kingman, Arizona.
	He came in with $433.33.
	And he says, ITM bros, three things.
	Was Adam able to get my care package?
	I sent the JCD forward to right around the time he moved the chugged shirt.
	No.
	I know you're tall, Mike.
	No.
	Well, you know, it's sitting right here.
	All I need is, and maybe this could work if after the, when we do our, after the show part that's not out there, the Yeah.
	Discussion of the show.
	You can give me an address and I'll drop it in the mail.
	My address doesn't exist.
	I can give it to you all I want, but we don't exist.
	To Adam, please email me your address to the common law Cludio.
	I have only one for the crack condo.
	Crack pot condo.
	Crack pot condo.
	Then I have to move this little thing here.
	Hold on a second.
	It's called the cursor.
	Cursor.
	Crackpot kind of very good.
	I want to send you some homemade prickly pear jam.
	Also need a favor no, not dick pics.
	Oh, damn.
	Jingles, please play JCDF Got Ants at the end of the show.
	Thank you for your courage.
	KI7HDT73s.
	Yes!
	73s, kilo five.
	I got ants.
	Just playing a little bit now.
	I got ants.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh man, but I have so many good ones to play for this show already.
	I don't know how to put it in.
	Okay, well you can do it next show.
	No, no, no, no.
	Come on.
	Are you kidding me?
	Producers go before stupid hosts.
	Producers before podcasters.
	Baron Jim of Jamaica Plains came in with $345.67.
	By the way, we have a symmetrical four and four today.
	Four executive producers, four associate executive producers.
	Pretty good.
	Hey, I want to balance.
	Baron Jim, how you feeling, man?
	I know he had some...
	Well, he says in an email, time to make another offering to the royal couple and a consideration for my title and lands.
	Reading the newsletter about your problem with Twitter prompted me to Google does Twitter censor and got lots of hits.
	Pretty eye-opening.
	Hopefully PayPal does not follow suit.
	I'd like to remind the dames and knights out there that the most reliable way to send monthly or individual contributions is through the electronic checking services of your bank or credit union.
	Not sure about bank fees, but my credit union charges no fee to send a check to an individual or a business, and you can get set up for regular monthly checks, which are printed and mailed every month like clockwork.
	No charge.
	No postage.
	John will tell you that my monthly contribution is in the P.O. box every month.
	Keep up the good work to the best podcast in the universe, Baron Jim of Jamaica Plains and surrounding plantations.
	Yes, thank you very much, Sir Jim.
	I just wanted to check how you're doing.
	Follow up.
	Well, give me some karma.
	Of course I'm going to give you some karma.
	You've got karma.
	Number three on the list is Matthew Wilson in Hanover, Pennsylvania, $333.33.
	Another interesting feature here is that he started off exactly the same way that Brandon did at the beginning of his note, which is, again, random numbers, ITM. ITM, love the show and thanks for the show.
	Tomorrow, the 24th is my 33rd birthday.
	See if he's on the list.
	And even though I'm stretching my budget, I want to get my knighthood.
	Please give me moving karma.
	We had a contract fall through on a building for our office and are searching for a new location after we already discontinued our lease at the current office.
	That's always a pain in the butt.
	Oh, it is.
	P.S. Karma for my five-year-old.
	He has autism and has had some regression that we're working on.
	I'm sorry to hear that.
	Title request.
	Sir Matthew Black Belt, financial advisor.
	Jingle request.
	Our formula is this.
	33 is the magic number.
	Korean newscaster.
	And...
	That's it.
	This is not a request.
	This is a name.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	Yeah, we can do that.
	I mean, it's kind of weird because...
	Oops, it's actually for this one.
	Because we kind of played that at the end of the donation segment, but if someone wants it, okay, well...
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	That's the magic.
	It's the magic number.
	It's the magic number.
	Got karma.
	Wow, a lot of noise.
	A lot of noise.
	A lot of noise.
	Sir Husky Bottoms of the Hardwoods, $333.
	Whoops.
	Hey, we got the jingle in already, John.
	The jingle?
	What?
	The jingle.
	It's already done.
	The jingle's in.
	First, you've got it.
	Then, you've got it.
	Yeah, I love that.
	The guys are fast.
	Yeah, thank you very much, Greg Davies.
	The pros, by the way, the pros are always fast.
	Yeah, thanks, Greg.
	So I'm talking to, I'm in with Luke Ryder talking about screenwriting.
	He said he started working for the guy on, I forget his name, the guy's merged to that very thin actress that did all his legal shows, Boston Legal and all of this.
	The dark-skinned actress?
	No, no, he's very...
	Calista Flockhart.
	Yeah, he's married to her, and I can't think of his name.
	No, that's Harrison Ford.
	Never, no, I got there, never mind.
	I'll get the guy's name, and I'll tell the anecdote later.
	Okay.
	But the guy can write a script in like two hours.
	It's like, apparently.
	Anyway, I was wished to alert others, and I say that prose can go fast, is the point I was trying to make, because we just had a guy just write something for us quickly.
	I wish to alert other listeners to the effectiveness of donating.
	I had a requested job karma with my first long overdue donation in May, and by June I had made it to knighthood.
	This was thanks in part to the effectiveness of the no agenda karma.
	My subsequent knighthood update note was lost in the shuffle, but basically a scenario in which I was facing running out of cash before I could realize the potential of our company I had built, I was satisfied my business booked after job karma request.
	Not only have I booked eight months' worth of work, I have prospects that have appeared out of nowhere, as well as past client projects that have reached out, all of which, if Landon could carry through 2018.
	When my wife and I are preparing for homeschooling our 7- and 10-year-old this upcoming year, our 7- and 10-year-olds, after a soul-slapping year in which neither of our children had adapted to the slave-in-training method offered by the state, Our youngest was accepted into the same Reggio Emilio preschool that the older two had attended.
	To my surprise, what was the monthly tuition?
	But...
	$333, of course.
	Makes nothing but sense.
	We talked about that.
	We talked about that.
	A couple episodes ago.
	Maybe a few months ago.
	I don't remember which one.
	I heard recently, I heard the guy who did the film talk about making the film, and that was kind of educational.
	And I learned more about the film from him.
	And anyway, Roger Stone, yes.
	It's apparently, Roger Stone, of course, I don't know if it's in the film, it threatened to kill him.
	If he didn't like the film.
	That's not in the film.
	I would have remembered.
	That's not in the film.
	He says he threatened to kill me if the film's no good.
	And the guy says, I really didn't know if I should believe him or not.
	Because apparently he was very serious about this.
	And then he says he hasn't been killed yet, so I guess he enjoyed the film.
	Jingle request from Sir Husky.
	Get out of my vagina with Followed by, oh, can you see that juice?
	And I'm really stoned.
	All right, sir, Husky Bottoms of the Hardwoods, here's your jingle request package for you.
	Get out of my vagina.
	Get out of my vagina.
	Oh, my gosh.
	Can you see that juice?
	Wow!
	I am really high.
	You've got karma.
	That was, uh, I never heard the jingle, that song.
	It's new, it's brand new, came in today.
	Brand new.
	Oh, okay.
	Alright, onward to Aaron Heath.
	And I am not finding an email from Aaron.
	I see your birthday.
	No, it says birthday turning 30 on July 26.
	No note!
	Right.
	Okay.
	There's no note then.
	Let me scroll down to...
	Now, I've got...
	Yeah.
	Max M, the much...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Aaron Heath gave it from St.
	Agnes, Australia.
	$267.17.
	Oh, it says no note.
	Okay.
	Max M., the much-maligned millennial.
	Now we're on to the associate executive producers.
	The much-maligned millennial.
	$222.22.
	I've been hooked on the show ever since I first heard the first episode way back in June of last year.
	A lot of people got turned on to the show in June of last year.
	Have you noticed this?
	Yeah, I'm not sure why.
	Yeah, it's very strange.
	I was turned on the show by a friendly poster on the anonymous image board 420chan.
	Your coverage of the last election cycle.
	That's why we got 4chan, love.
	I guess.
	Your coverage of the last election cycle reaffirmed my sanity and confirmed my suspicion that M5M is complete BS. Well, good.
	That's what we're here for.
	Yeah, yeah.
	This is my first time donating, so I'd like to humbly request a dedouching.
	Yes, right away.
	You've been dedouched.
	Yep.
	I'm going for a job interview later this weekend, so some jobs karma would be highly appreciated.
	As a member of the millennial generation, I feel obligated to ask you to stop picking on us!
	Some of us are woke donators to the best podcasts in the universe.
	Now, I remember when this came in.
	And I said, you know, yes, I think we probably do pick on the millennials a little bit, because it is a kind of a, it's a humorous group.
	I got into a dinner conversation the other night, and J.C., Buzzkill Jr., came up with a thesis that there are two millennial groups, as far as he can tell.
	Oh, like an A and a B dimension?
	No, no.
	It's an age difference.
	There's the elder and the younger.
	So you've got plenty of the elder, plenty of the younger.
	And there's a split.
	And there was a whole slew of things.
	This is unfortunate because we're having some pretty good cognac.
	So I can't remember some of the details, but I will get it in the next...
	I just got to visualize it.
	What's up with the millennials, man?
	No, it's not that.
	That would be you.
	After one drink, yes.
	Now, you've got Indian blood in you, I'm sure of it, Pocahontas.
	So, and I thought this was an interesting...
	I'm sorry.
	And I thought this was an interesting thesis because he was making some sense because there's a movie that...
	Okay, the movie is...
	This baby driver.
	Oh, I've not seen that.
	I've heard of it before.
	Okay, baby driver, which has got like 99% tomato rating.
	It's unbelievably high.
	The young millennials don't like it.
	The old millennials like it.
	That's the ground zero of the split, apparently.
	I guess.
	Hmm.
	What is the baby driver about, so that I can understand why the one group maybe?
	It's similar to a Fast and Furious, but it's produced by somebody else.
	It's one of those shoot-em-up, drive-em, drive cars, wreck cars.
	It's about nothing, as far as I can tell.
	Like the Cannonball Run.
	Well...
	There's a reference for you.
	I'm of the older generation X. The older, older.
	The older, older, elder statesman.
	Anyway, so he's got no requests, so we'll give him the karma, I guess.
	Yeah, of course.
	We're not picking on...
	No, he says jobs karma.
	And no, we're trying not to pick on...
	And now you're going to have to identify as older or younger millennial.
	I think there's a split here we've got to deal with.
	So it's an OM or a YM. That's basically what we have to be looking at, right?
	Yeah, it's as good as a way to go as any.
	My millennials!
	Stay woke!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Slick.
	Charles Prestiai, somewhere in the United States, $222.22.
	The de-douching I mentioned to Adam in my email about the art generator.
	Shout out to Andrew Galway and Nicholas Aristavi.
	Or Aristavi.
	That's what we get.
	Thanks to Agenda 31 and Congressional Dish for hitting me in the mouth.
	Outstanding.
	I love that.
	You've been deduced.
	Yes, one of the many who wrote in about the art generator, and I'm going to give you some karma as well.
	You deserve it.
	You've got karma.
	Finally, last but not least, is Sir Ryan Bemrose, the Baron of Puget Sound.
	I want to say Sir Bemrose is pretty much 24-7 on the infrastructure these days.
	We've got Void Zero, who's really the dude named Ben in charge.
	Of course, he has a new child, so he's got really weird hours, and he's a stay-at-home dad.
	And Bemrose has just jumped in and been fantastic and really helping out.
	I didn't know this.
	Yeah, well, we don't tell you everything, John.
	We need to keep you uncluttered.
	I don't know if I can handle it.
	Sir Bambrose, anyway, from Everett, 208-89.
	My only clip request is John's elephant sex clips.
	You've been teasing it for weeks.
	It's time to deliver.
	Thank you for your courage, Sir Brian Bemrose up there.
	All right, all right.
	Well, I have the clips.
	Do we play one or both?
	That's it.
	That's our group.
	That's four and four.
	We want to thank all these people for helping us produce this show and all the people that follow in the next readout.
	Are we not going to do the elephant sex?
	Not now.
	I mean, we'll do it after we do it through our process here.
	We've got to finish this off.
	Yeah, we'll do elephant sex guaranteed on this show.
	Okay.
	You're not going to like it.
	It's going to be a big anti-climax, isn't it?
	No.
	Here, I'll give you a little more tease.
	It's disgusting.
	Nice.
	Thank you very much to our executive producers and associate executive producers 4x4 today, which is great and it's really appreciated.
	We give you these credits up front and early in the program just like Hollywood does it.
	Of course, we don't have All the trimmings of Hollywood, but instead of you being the stupid product of everything, you are actually making sure that you get what you want, value for value.
	And we're not doing it through any of these third-party systems, at least, for as much as we can.
	And it's, yeah, it's appreciated.
	And we'll be thanking more people, $50 or more in our second segment.
	Of course, we have another show coming up on Sunday.
	Remember us at...
	Slash N-A And a nice little two for today as it always was a jingle request.
	Once again, go out there.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	There you go.
	One of our guys last week wanted a call out for some job company.
	He's begging us.
	And I wanted to find him.
	That's very important.
	Yeah, we'll do it at the next break.
	I was going to go to Euroland unless you want to do something else.
	I love Euroland.
	Yeah, Euroland's pretty good.
	A lot going on right now on Euroland.
	First, a report that I got from one of our military intelligence guys, Agent Orange.
	He was over at...
	I think there was some kind of celebration for the oldest veteran alive.
	I think he's...
	Maggie Magellan.
	I think he turned...
	He turned like 101 or something.
	Crazy, guys.
	He just traveled all over the world talking to troops.
	No problem.
	So he's in Germany, and...
	And our source told us that something happened that he'd never seen before, where they had this big ceremony, then they played the German national anthem, then there was a little military rah-rah-go fight song, and then they played the EU national anthem.
	He said, that is new.
	And he's been to all the bases, all the countries, he's doing this stuff all the time.
	I've never seen them follow the national anthem up with the EU anthem, which of course is Ode to Joy by Beethoven.
	I should be pissed.
	I would be.
	So I just wanted to let you know that the country that said they would never have, the union said they would never have an army, and they're getting close to doing all this military stuff.
	Of course.
	It's just a little creepy.
	This is the new way the Germans, this is the Fourth Reich.
	Yes.
	Okay, and send your letters to johanddvorak.org.
	Yes, and they're tightening it up.
	We already had financial reform.
	I told you they were trying to put together something with a pan-EU finance minister.
	It's getting close.
	The 28 finance ministers of the European Union will resume today a discussion on the recent developments in the banking sector.
	The theme was at the heart of the meeting held by 19 members of the euro area yesterday, with Italy being in the hot spot.
	The government in Rome put into liquidation two banks earlier July, which may cost to the Italian taxpayers up to 17 billion euros.
	The European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs sets the guidelines to avoid future similar situations.
	The Commission has an ambitious vision, that of a Eurozone which on the one hand completes banking union, which is a necessity, the financial union, and on the other hand builds a true budgetary integration, a real budgetary union.
	It also involves more democracy, and democracy for me is the fact that one can be accountable before a parliament.
	This parliament being, first and foremost, the European Parliament.
	People of Europe, are you asleep?
	What are you allowing these technocrats to do?
	They're going to take over your banking!
	Where's the outrage?
	Where's the anger?
	Where's the confusion?
	Where's the questions?
	It's on the street in Los Angeles, not knowing who Jeff Sessions is.
	I don't see the difference.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Europeans certainly want you to think they're much more involved in their politics and understand what's going on, but I think they're just as bad.
	I think they don't understand at all.
	But I'll bet they do know all the Kardashian names, including the kids.
	Poland is becoming the problem child of the EU, and I do not have enough knowledge of the Constitution or of the court system, but I know we have a lot of Polish listeners and producers, so I'd appreciate a boots-on-the-ground report about this change that must be something good, seeing as the European Union, including my buddy Franz Timmermans, the vice president of the commission, Starfleet Command, they've got problems with what they're doing.
	Hundreds of people have gathered in front of the presidential palace in Warsaw to protest against plans by the populist ruling party to put the Supreme Court and the rest of the judicial system under the party's political control.
	The former Polish president, Lech Walesa, addressed the crowds in Dansk, the city where he led strikes in the 1980s, against the then-communist regime that eventually toppled the government and ushered in democracy.
	He told them, our generation led Poland to freedom in an incredibly difficult situation and base it on the separation of powers.
	If anyone wants to disturb this most important victory, you, the young people, cannot let that happen.
	The protest was part of wider demonstrations which broke out across Poland.
	These protesters explained their concerns.
	The reason why I'm here actually is that I'm a little bit afraid what will happen next.
	I mean, what about my civic rights and what the government will go next for?
	Legal experts and the EU say the changes would mean a dramatic reversal for a country held as a model of democratic transition and move Poland closer towards authoritarianism.
	Now, this is from Euronews, which is a globalist outfit.
	So I found it very unhelpful while I hear there's one or two men on the street, woman on the street, you know, saying, oh, it's just horrible, it's not going to work.
	But do we know anything about what's going on with this replacement of the Supreme Court, which now can be done by, I guess, other people than it used to be done by?
	I think this is, I don't know specifically what's going on, but I don't think the Polish are going to put up with this.
	The whole reason to do it, of course, is to make Poland take in refugees.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, see, I didn't understand this.
	That is interesting.
	Yeah, they've gotten taken to zero so far.
	They don't want to take any, and the courts have upheld their ability to just say no.
	Right, but so...
	Put some stooges in, stooges give it to go ahead, next thing you know, the place is filled with them.
	Uh-huh.
	That's the only thing I can guess.
	But why is the EU against Poland doing this?
	That doesn't make any sense.
	The European Union says, bad on you, Poland, for doing this.
	I presume because they're not going to have any control.
	I don't know.
	I mean, yes, it makes no sense what I said.
	No.
	Yes, it makes no sense.
	Yes, you have lots of bananas.
	Yes, it makes no sense.
	I'm sure it's got something to do with that.
	Just like you don't know how an air conditioner works, man.
	And by the way, the guy sent us a long note about the air conditioner.
	I'm doing this thing on some of these guys now.
	It's pretty funny.
	I say I have bullcrap and I put hashtag blocked on my Twitter.
	But you don't actually block them.
	What I do is I go over and look and see what their stuff looks like.
	If it's interesting enough, I don't block them.
	And I rarely block them nowadays.
	I just put blocked just to freak them.
	And I just put blocked.
	And I don't do anything.
	I will explain once and for all.
	We make mistakes.
	We make tons of mistakes.
	Absolutely.
	We make mistakes.
	That is often translated into...
	Do you guys just say stuff like it's fact?
	Yeah, we make mistakes.
	And the appropriate way to let us know we made a mistake is to say, send us an email.
	We read emails.
	Hey, you know, I think this is wrong.
	The inappropriate way is to go stand in the middle of my Twitter feed.
	That's my people.
	They look at my stuff and go, I can't believe!
	I'm so surprised!
	It's always that.
	It's always, I can't believe!
	I can't believe you don't know how an air conditioner works!
	I can't believe!
	I'm so surprised!
	50-year-old men don't understand AC! And I had to mention to him, he says, you both owned AC and you've seen these things freeze up.
	And I had to say, or I didn't say it, I was going to write it and I didn't do it.
	It doesn't matter.
	I don't care.
	I've never had an air conditioner.
	I live in California.
	I don't need an air conditioner.
	I don't care.
	It's just, do people no longer see that that's just rude?
	It's just being rude.
	Yeah, it's totally rude.
	I'm just not going to accept it.
	No, I didn't block him.
	I wanted to see his bid.
	They're like, yeah, just like Dvorak, you know what carpet bag it was?
	And go over to the Reddit, man.
	Jeez.
	Yeah, go to the Reddit.
	Go to the Reddit.
	Go to the Reddit.
	There's a special no agenda Reddit for you guys.
	Go to the Reddit.
	Hey, I love this new Scaramucci guy.
	You know, here's the funny thing.
	This guy is, he probably drives that Lambo in my building.
	It could be, because he looks like a guy in a Lambo.
	He looks like a guy in a Lambo.
	It's fantastic.
	Let's listen to a couple of reports.
	The one I want to listen to mainly is Hallie Jackson.
	And Hallie Jackson is probably one of the prettiest of the correspondents at NBC. She doesn't wear a lot of makeup.
	She doesn't try to make herself look beautiful, but she is really pretty.
	I want to take a look at her for a second.
	And Hallie...
	You know what I like about her?
	She looks like a woman.
	Yeah.
	She's not a waif.
	Yeah.
	She looks like a woman.
	Anyway, so she's going to do the report, and she's got this funny smile on her face.
	And I've seen this.
	We used to have a guy at PC Magazine.
	We had a bunch of guys at PC Magazine in the heyday that were sales guys that were just beautiful men.
	And they would sell like crazy, and they would always get the accounts that had the female buyers.
	That's exactly what I did at all of my companies.
	There was always some woman who remembered me from MTV and would swoon over me while I slipped the contract in front of her.
	Hey, baby.
	Very common thing.
	Rodney Zacks.
	And it made me feel like a cheap whore, John.
	I want you to know that.
	Well, not cheap.
	I wasn't cheap.
	I wasn't cheap.
	So these guys would go out and they'd go, oh, Hallie Jackson has a crush on Scaramucci is my theory because she had this dumb smile on her face.
	And it was like she's giving the report.
	And I'm thinking she's the kind of girl.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Let me say it.
	Sadly, now they look at her picture.
	She's the kind of girl that you always see with a douchebag in the Lambo.
	Well, we got the douchebag, we got Hallie, and I get the feeling that you're going to see a lot.
	I believe this is NBC. I think it's NBC. I got it.
	But she is just gonna love this guy.
	Let's hear this.
	Tonight, Press Secretary Sean Spicer is out.
	He quit suddenly this morning as a new communications director was announced.
	His name is Anthony Scaramucci, a longtime Wall Street banker and a former fundraiser for the Trump campaign.
	One of his first orders of business today was naming a new White House Press Secretary.
	So...
	What will these staff changes mean for the Trump White House?
	We start tonight with our chief White House correspondent, Hallie Jackson.
	I think that is troubling.
	Thank you guys very much.
	In a stunning staff shuffle tonight, a familiar face stepping down, and a new one stepping in.
	What are you trying to accomplish with your staff?
	Make America great again.
	Former campaign adviser Anthony Scaramucci, the new communications director with Sean Spicer, long rumored to be on thin ice, resigning as press secretary.
	All smiles today after a dramatic 24-hour battle behind closed doors.
	Multiple sources familiar with the fight tell NBC News Reince Priebus initially resisted the move.
	The chief of staff now tells NBC he's behind Scaramucci 100%, with Spicer telling the AP the president could benefit from a clean slate.
	This guy, this Scaramucci, great name, too.
	Just great name, Scaramucci.
	Love the name.
	Love the name.
	And his nickname is Mooch.
	And I left it out of this clip, but she was kind of proud to report.
	Nobody else reported this.
	At the end of his press conference, he gives a kiss.
	He gives one of these little air kisses, a blow kiss, where you put your hand on your mouth.
	To Hallie?
	No, it just does it to the audience.
	And she responded positively.
	And they said, oh yeah, and they call it the mooch smooch.
	The mooch smooch.
	Give me a break.
	But you know what's interesting is that on CNBC, they talk about this guy like he's a god.
	They love him.
	Oh, we love Steve.
	He's great.
	Oh, yeah, he's fantastic.
	Oh, everybody knows him.
	He's obviously a professional schmoozer that really knows how to put the charm on.
	He looks like a charming guy.
	I'm having a dinner with the former New York banker on Tuesday for his birthday.
	Well, he would know him.
	And he'll know him, but I also need to ask about Trump and Deutsche Bank, you know, because that's where the former New York banker comes from.
	He would know something.
	I think he would.
	I think he would.
	But the Scaramucci guy, I think he's going to be a barrel of laughs.
	I mean, if anyone thinks that they removed him, Spicer, because, you know, well, he wasn't effective, but, you know, because of too much Saturday Night Live parody, are you kidding me?
	I could do this guy on Saturday Night Live.
	He's just begging for parody, begging for it.
	And he's a huge performative guy.
	In fact, I'm not going to call him Scaramucci.
	He's Mr.
	Performative.
	Let me ask you a variation of what I asked Sean Spicer on his first day.
	Is it your commitment to, to the best of your ability, give accurate information, the truth from that podium?
	I mean, I sort of feel like I don't even have to answer that question.
	I hope you can feel that from me, just from my body language, that's the kind of person I am.
	I hope you can feel from me, just from my body language, he's kind of like Vinny Barbarino.
	A lot.
	Hey!
	Come on, man.
	Come on.
	Let's go over to Brooklyn.
	He's got that little voice.
	He's going to be fantastic.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is great stuff, this guy.
	And, of course, I'm waiting for the Queen parody.
	You wait.
	It's coming.
	It's coming.
	All of that's coming.
	You're starting to write the ideas for our guys.
	That'll be coming today.
	I am from the future.
	It's so obvious what's going on here.
	It's really, really interesting that this guy's coming.
	This choice, I think, is more...
	Just thinking of our president as a TV guy, he's like...
	It's time to shake things up.
	We need a new face.
	Yes, we need some recasting on the show.
	It's a new season.
	So let's see what we can do.
	Spicer.
	Love the guy.
	Love Spicer.
	But, you know, his Q rating is just a little flat.
	So, we need someone who everyone's going to respond to in a crazy way.
	Someone with some connections to Russia.
	Make sure to check.
	Oh, yes.
	Connections to Russia.
	Perfect.
	Slimy banker.
	Perfect.
	Slimy banker.
	Very, very important.
	Drives a Lambo.
	Yes, perfect.
	Now, if he has a midget in a bikini driving him around in the Lambo, then he just shoots up in credibility.
	Yeah, that's going to be too hard to cast.
	Yeah, I don't...
	But you're right.
	It was casting.
	It's casting time.
	That's it.
	You nailed it.
	You nailed it.
	Anything left on that clip?
	No, no, that's all I have.
	Unless you have another one.
	I do have another clip.
	Scaramucci?
	Does it say Scaramucci?
	No, I'm just asking if you have more.
	I think this one.
	This is on CBS where they didn't have a Hallie Jackson to swoon over the guy.
	And we'll probably hear from her.
	This is the Trump update.
	This is CBS version of kind of the same story.
	Before President Trump helped the Navy commission its newest warship today, he launched a barrage of tweets, 10 of them, before 9 a.m.
	The president vented on several topics, including health care, Hillary Clinton, and intelligence leaks.
	The tweet storm came a day after the White House communications team went through a major overhaul.
	Errol Barnett has the latest.
	The same way.
	We will win, win, win.
	We will never lose.
	We will win.
	Commissioning the new Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier in Virginia, President Trump focused on the strength of the military and his own White House.
	America might is second to none.
	And we're getting bigger and better and stronger every day of my administration.
	After shuffling his legal team earlier in the week, yesterday the president reorganized his communications staff, appointing financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.
	That decision led acting director and press secretary Sean Spicer to resign.
	I just think it was in the best interest of our communications department, of our press organization, to not have too many cooks in the kitchen.
	Amidst the shakeups, Mr.
	Trump voiced frustration at so-called fake news, illegal leaks, and special counsel Robert Mueller in another round of early morning tweets.
	Democrats and Republicans warned the president not to interfere with Mueller's investigation.
	And I think we need to let him and his team and our investigators here do their jobs and follow these leads wherever they may lay and follow wherever they may go and follow the facts.
	Any attempt to fire Robert Mueller is an attack on our system of justice.
	Now many close to the president will soon face congressional scrutiny as part of investigations into Russian election meddling.
	Yeah.
	That was CBS. I did a triple, so I do have the ABC report.
	Who was the reporter on that?
	Why did they bring in the British guy?
	What's the deal with that?
	That was a weekend, I think.
	I don't know who that guy is.
	To be honest with you, I've never seen him before.
	And I haven't been following whoever he is.
	I just haven't been following him.
	I have another question.
	What constitutes a tweet storm versus a tweet wind?
	Or a tweet fart?
	According to one of the people, the woman, I think, the CBS substitute host, She said that it was ten tweets.
	Ten tweets is a storm.
	In a row.
	Okay, ten tweets.
	And a tweet shower would be just five, maybe?
	I don't know.
	Well, we can make it up.
	It's our opportunity to coin it.
	Okay, we got a tweet shower.
	We got a tweet storm.
	We got a tweet.
	What's the other one?
	Tweet hurricane.
	Tweet a cane.
	Tweet hurricane.
	Tweet a cane.
	And a tweet fart is just two.
	One.
	Tweet toot.
	Tweet toot.
	Well, a toot's already a mastodon thing.
	I don't know if you can...
	Yeah, but you can have a tweet toot.
	So let's go to Spicer out on ABC background or on Kushner.
	All right, John Carl with us live from the White House tonight.
	And, John, you reported that Sean Spicer was blindsided by this announcement of a new communications director.
	And he was not the only one...
	Blindsided!
	This was a decision that was made by the president himself.
	The only ones he really consulted with were his daughter, Ivanka, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner...
	The other senior staff, David, for the most part, did not even learn of this until the president had already made up his mind.
	When they did learn of it, some of them tried to get the president to change his mind, but to no avail.
	Complete surprise.
	One report, which I don't have the clip of, said that That Spicer was kind of protesting what was going on and Trump slammed the door in his face.
	Get out!
	And already I've seen the news networks going like, oh, we can't wait.
	Yes, he's going to have lots of things to tell.
	Do you think he had a non-disclosure agreement?
	Yes, I'm sure it'll be great.
	He'll really tell us everything that's going on because he's one of us.
	He's one of us, you see.
	The guy's going to have a lot to tell.
	There's going to be sessions if they fire him.
	I don't actually see, but it could happen.
	I don't care.
	So let's do something.
	You promised you were going to do something.
	Yes, my fiber report.
	My fiber report.
	Quick fiber report.
	All right, fiber report.
	Let me get to that.
	So we're not losing our train of thought, because I want to make sure, because there's nothing more irritating to me than teasing something.
	And then never doing it on the same show as opposed to my elephant sex.
	We're kind of famous for it.
	What, we can do elephant sex now or fiber report?
	What do you want?
	No, I want to get the fiber out of the way and then we can do elephant sex.
	All right.
	So, as you know, somehow I got stuck in between creating a Google Fiber account and paying for it.
	Actually, $10 went off my card, but I couldn't create an account.
	So then I went online.
	I said, man, people are stupid.
	I'm like, why don't you unplug your computer for 30 seconds?
	All right, fine.
	So I go to the Fiber Store.
	Very interesting experience.
	So the Fiber Store is a big space on the corner of Second and Lavaca, I think, here in downtown Austin.
	And it's a big space.
	You walk in, walk up, there's two Google people, Googlers, standing there.
	I say, hi.
	I say, hi.
	Maybe I had a problem with creating an account online, and I want Google Fiber.
	Okay, can I have your first name?
	Adam.
	It was weird.
	I was expecting to say, and your last name, but that question never came.
	She's like, okay, you can just sit over there on the middle couch.
	And this is like three living rooms.
	You go sit on the couch and you're sitting in front of Google.
	They're doing some kind of virtual reality video that's very short.
	It's only a minute or two.
	And it's just looping.
	That's all they're showing.
	Nothing else.
	Just the...
	Shit, what is that thing called?
	It's a virtual reality paint program.
	I can't remember what it's called.
	That they just showed over and over and over again.
	And the wait was pretty long, and there's plenty of Googlers walking around, but I guess I had to wait for my turn.
	How long was the wait?
	15 minutes.
	So I saw that video five times, at least.
	And then finally, a girl comes over, and it's like, no, hi.
	And she was actually pretty knowledgeable.
	I explained the situation.
	She said, okay, let's try to, can you log in?
	I'm like, what do you mean?
	And then she hands me a Chromebook.
	Which I'd never had in my hands.
	And she says, no, it's real.
	Don't worry about it.
	You know, because you log in and then you click this button, you log out and everything's gone.
	And I said, okay, I'm sure.
	You know, the Chromebook is very interesting.
	With the touch screen and everything.
	I'm surprised by it.
	Very surprised.
	It had a nice feel.
	I don't know.
	I just kind of liked it.
	It was all Google.
	A lot of people liked the Chromebook.
	Yeah, I can understand why.
	I ordered one just so I can play around with it.
	It's like 200 bucks.
	Perfect.
	Actually, I was pleased.
	She was smart.
	She said, well, you know what?
	I said, yeah, probably better if I just create a new Gmail account.
	I said, yeah, do you mind doing this?
	No, I'll just do it for Fiber.
	That's fine.
	I said, do all that.
	But then she looks in.
	She's like, whoa.
	Wait a minute.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	You kind of like, you jumped over something here.
	You went from logging in to creating a new account.
	What happened in between?
	Yeah.
	I logged in and then I showed her when I went to fiber.google.com slash my fiber slash that it just takes me right back to the page to configure my package.
	With everything pre-configured the way I wanted it, the way I like my package, And then it says card declined.
	It went through the whole process.
	There's a bug.
	And she actually said, yeah, it seems like there's a bug in the code.
	I'll have to escalate that.
	But for now, would you mind?
	I said, no problem.
	I'll create a new account.
	I'm sorry.
	Good point.
	But I'm glad that she actually identified it as a bug and not like I'm stupid because that's what the online help people were doing.
	You're stupid.
	Get another IP address.
	Use a different browser.
	Use a different OS. Is it plugged in?
	Now unplug it.
	Hold your right foot in the air, plug it back in.
	But then, you're like, hmm, I don't see this building.
	Here we go again.
	The address verification system.
	Right road services architecture.
	Your building doesn't seem to be, is it new?
	Yeah, I think people have been living there for about a year and a half.
	Yeah, but is it new?
	Yeah, it's new.
	Oh, yeah.
	And so, is your apartment new?
	Yeah, yeah, it's new.
	Well, do you have one of these things in your apartment?
	She holds up a little...
	It looked like one of those air purifiers that you plug in.
	She said, this bad boy.
	She actually used the words bad boy.
	Once you have this bad boy in your apartment, then you're good to go.
	I'm like, well, how do I get one of these bad boys in my apartment?
	Well, it's weird because your building still says under construction.
	Okay.
	So, I'm guessing I'll never get Google Fiber.
	That was it?
	Yeah.
	You got screwed!
	Yeah.
	Well, no, she said it could be three days, three weeks, three months.
	Three years.
	She didn't add that.
	That was pretty, but she said, well, you're on the list as under construction.
	I said, I know for a fact that my building said, we have technicians coming into your apartment today for something for Google Fiber.
	So I know that happened, but I wasn't here when someone came in and rummaged through our stuff, no doubt.
	But there is something going on.
	I think Google Fiber is falling apart.
	I think Google in general, they have so overshot their own capability.
	There's a rumor on the street that it's up for sale.
	Hmm.
	They're shopping the whole fiber business.
	But in general, they're shopping it.
	That's what it's called, shopping.
	Shopping for a deal.
	In general, they don't understand people.
	They understand customers.
	They don't know how to deal with you.
	That's Google.
	You're stupid.
	You're stupid.
	And we're Google.
	So, you know, we're always right because we're Google.
	Which answers your question about how people see it.
	That's always right.
	Always right.
	That's pretty...
	That would be Google, yes.
	It's a problem.
	It's gotten worse, and it's not getting any better.
	I can see where it's going to bite him in the ass eventually.
	Tell me, where's it going to bite him in the ass?
	You might as well put it in the book now.
	It's going to bite him in the ass somehow.
	I don't know how.
	I can't predict how it's going to bite him in the ass, but you can't treat people like that.
	As a big company, you're going to get sued.
	They're going to get sued, then it's going to get sued again and again and again.
	They're going to realize their deep pockets are going to be sued forever about something.
	I mean, the EU's taking advantage of them.
	Yeah.
	And with that, I think we should do some elephant sex.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Elephant sex, it is.
	Okay, so I'm watching PBS. Whoa, stop, stop, stop, stop!
	You cannot just get away with some electrical thing.
	I'm getting there.
	I'm getting there.
	It starts off with some giant probe.
	It's like a big, I would say it's the size of a football dildo.
	And I'm watching this, and I'm totally grossed out.
	They're sticking this big dildo Electrical football up the elephant's butt.
	And the elephant's got some huge erection, and there's some woman there stroking the erection.
	It's disgusting!
	Dude, wait!
	Where's the video, man?
	Do you have a...
	You can probably download it if you know where to go.
	No kidding.
	This is, you know, if Bill Nye put this on a show, he'd get another Emmy.
	And she's giggling.
	She's giggling.
	She's stroking the elephant and she's giggling.
	Yes.
	This is great.
	And the guy there is trying to hold this thing up and to get some goo out of him so they can examine him.
	I think they've tried to sterilize this guy because he's a rogue or something.
	I'm not sure.
	Because they never really explained it because he's so, yuck!
	Yuck!
	And so let's just play, as this first clip begins, the big giant football goes into the elephant.
	Bullet that goes inside the rectum, that delivers an electrical current.
	Oh man, I can't wait to try this.
	The pelvis, which hopefully will stimulate an erection, and you'll just see how massive this penis is.
	The elephant is unconscious but breathing on his own.
	This four-ton bull won't feel anything during the procedure.
	A large homemade condom is placed over the head of the penis to collect any ejaculate.
	Hey baby, don't worry.
	I made this condom myself at home.
	It's all good, baby.
	Keep it on there.
	As long as we keep a condom on at all times.
	So when it's flaccid like this, the penis would normally be retracted into the prepuce out of harm's way.
	At the moment, it's very rubbery, it's very fleshy, there's no bone in the penis at all.
	The erection is all done by filling the penis with blood under pressure.
	You can pull here.
	It's coming.
	It's coming.
	There we go.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Gradually, they increase the voltage.
	So as the arteries dilate in the pelvis, then muscles contract down the veins that would normally take the blood away.
	So that means this large sausage, if you like, starts getting filled with blood under pressure, which can't then escape out again.
	And that's what extends it towards me.
	And you can see, I mean, it started, but it's certainly not finished yet.
	We can pull a bit more.
	Yeah.
	And it's a huge weight when this is filled with blood.
	This is heavy.
	Yeah, I bet.
	When they reckon full, maybe even 30 kilos.
	Getting a nice erection, but nothing yet, no fluid yet.
	Blood rushes in to fill the penis.
	Oh, there we go.
	Wow!
	It's alive!
	It's seriously alive.
	And that's all done by blood pressure.
	That's not muscles did that.
	And again, my God!
	That's fantastic, John.
	You did not disappoint.
	I'm telling you, I'm watching this on PBS, on TV. I'm saying, this just should be banned.
	And then they go into the next part where they're actually showing...
	Banned?
	What do you mean banned?
	And they're showing the elephants having sex.
	Nice.
	That's beautiful.
	It's a beautiful thing.
	Apparently this thing, which is the size of...
	Let's see.
	It's the size of a sewer pipe.
	It's about 12 inches circumference.
	Whoa.
	Or diameter.
	No, 12 inches diameter.
	Diameter.
	Yeah, 12-inch diameter, which is a larger circumference.
	Big, giant thing.
	And the girl is just patting it and rubbing it, and it's like she's giggling.
	And so then they...
	I can't believe the patriarchy made her do it.
	How about the male scientist?
	This is just an outrage.
	He was...
	Microaggression.
	He was aghast.
	He was doing the rectal bullet.
	And it turns out that this thing has a brain or something.
	And...
	Wait, it's not only 12 inches in diameter.
	It has a brain?
	Or something, because when the elephant has sex with the elephant, they really can't do a lot of thrusting, and they make a point of discussing this.
	Maybe it's in the next clip.
	We also face another obstacle, a very narrow fertility window.
	Elephants have a different reproductive cycling compared to humans.
	They come into estrus.
	In other words, they release an egg only once every four to four and a half months.
	That's very different from humans who release an egg once every month.
	So for a human, there's 12 opportunities in a year to fertilize the woman.
	For these animals, it's only going to occur about three times a year.
	And for males in must, there's even worse news.
	After their two-year pregnancies, females then spend at least another two years nursing their calf when they have no interest in sex.
	Oh, no.
	That means they're only receptive for two to four days once every four or maybe even five years.
	That is a long time to wait for that tiny little window of receptivity.
	So the females can't leave it up to the males to figure this out.
	They have a way to tell the males, to advertise, that they're ready for sex.
	There we go.
	They're going to advertise for it, huh?
	Yes.
	Now we get really gross.
	They're going to advertise.
	So let me just understand.
	This is educational.
	I like this.
	This is, you know, this is...
	Oh, yeah, well, you would.
	Yeah.
	You know, as a 52-year-old guy, I think it's funny you can still make dick jokes about an elephant.
	It's good.
	It's good.
	This is about the biggest dick joke clip we'll ever have.
	Well, I know how he advertises.
	I know how this works.
	I know enough about elephants.
	I lived in Uganda as a kid.
	I can tell you.
	But before they play the clip, how do they do it?
	Oh, this is easy.
	They put their picture on elephantbackpage.com.
	...for sex.
	And what they do is they secrete a chemical.
	And that chemical is in the urine.
	And the males can pick up on that chemical.
	What they do is they put the trunk down, they sample a little bit of the urine, they bring it to their mouth, and it's kind of like tasting and smelling the chemical.
	And they can detect that the female is about to release an egg.
	Because she starts to release that chemical about four weeks before the egg is actually released.
	It is thought that the ovaries release this chemical signal into the blood and then the urine, steadily increasing in concentration in the final weeks leading up to ovulation.
	Only the biggest, strongest bulls, the ones with the most experience, are able to tell exactly when those precious few days have arrived.
	And they have that very short time to mate with her because she's just advertised.
	She hasn't left it up to them to figure out.
	She's told them she's ready for sex.
	Wow!
	Talk about the patriarchy.
	We should kill all elephants.
	These guys are horribly misogynist.
	There are moments when a female is in heat.
	The race to mate is on.
	Before accepting him, she puts up a token chase.
	The race to mate is on.
	A bull doesn't need to move his hips during sex.
	His penis can thrust independently.
	Nice!
	No bad thing when most of his six-ton weight now rests on his hind legs.
	Aw, John, I'm so happy we did this.
	This is just beautiful.
	Just beautiful.
	And again, what station was this on?
	Where can we find this?
	This is on PBS. This is one of the great, great shows, beneficial shows everyone should watch on PBS. I think it's called Animal Sex.
	And they discuss all these different habits of these animals.
	Just a...
	But it's interesting how the male elephant is really dominant in this whole procreation.
	No, he's not.
	He seems passive to me.
	No.
	It's the female that tells him he can have sex.
	No.
	She doesn't put out after the baby's report.
	I misunderstood.
	I thought that he tells her when she's ready.
	That's what I heard.
	No.
	You're listening to the wrong thing.
	Must be.
	She peers.
	pees on him.
	And then he says, oh, God, I got to fuck her now.
	And so then he goes and then she puts up a phony chase.
	He has to chase her around a little bit.
	He gets pooped out.
	And then she says, OK, OK, this old guy is going to drop dead if I'm not.
	So she stops.
	And then he screws her with his with his self, this crazy penis that has a brain and it figures out where to go and it does it on its own because he can't move.
	He's too heavy.
	He's on his back legs.
	He's probably killing him.
	And then, no, this is a female-dominated society.
	You get that all wrong.
	I don't know what you were talking about.
	I'm Stephen Hawking, bitch.
	Wow, John.
	That was one of the best rants you've ever gone on.
	I think...
	Yes, ladies and gentlemen.
	John at Dvorak.org is where you want to be.
	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.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	I'm going to give you a little slow clap on top of all of it.
	I was not, anyway, I found that the whole thing was not...
	I don't know.
	I didn't get...
	I was like grossed.
	I did record it, so obviously I wasn't completely grossed out, but I thought it was kind of gross.
	Yeah.
	Do I need to know about this?
	Do I need to know?
	I would have stopped.
	I mean, better than most of the drivel.
	I mean, this is...
	Well, it's better than Trump hate.
	It was better than anything on television.
	And you know what?
	Actually, I feel bad.
	What am I thinking?
	You deserve this.
	I feel better now.
	Totally, totally, totally.
	Especially, but only because of your wrap-up.
	Because it sounded so close to home, like, it's just like, I think everyone knows what I'm telling you.
	Yeah, it's one of those gags.
	Yeah, it's a good one.
	Let's start off with thanking a few people that actually helped produce the show by contributing.
	Starting with Jeffrey Walsow, who has to be moved up.
	Oh.
	To associate executive producer.
	Okay.
	Because he sent us $154 in Canadian and we are giving associate credit.
	Oh, yes.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Absolutely.
	And since he did that, we have to give him the Biden-ISIS jingle and some karma.
	Oh, I know what it is, of course.
	Yes, here it is.
	Ow!
	ISIS. Isis.
	You've got karma.
	Very nice.
	Jonathan Halpern, U.S., $150.62.
	Matthew Messer, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Now, hold on.
	He's going to be knighted today.
	Yeah.
	So, he says, this donation is a celebration of my 21st birthday.
	Congratulations, July 24th.
	But this is your guy since around episode 353 when I was a sophomore in high school.
	Bam!
	I would like to thank you, too, so much for being a twice-weekly part of my life for the last six years.
	That's right.
	Your parents aren't really necessary when you've got us.
	You two have taught me so much about how to think critically about the world around me and how to laugh, even when events going on in that world seem to suck.
	Yes!
	John, this is why I do this show.
	These kinds of notes.
	I would like to humbly request to be knighted sir dude named Matt, accounting attached below, as I'm a college student pursuing a degree in MIS and plan on becoming a sysadmin, a dude named Ben.
	Not to change your name.
	I would like to request Adam play the ISIS... What?!
	Wait a minute, do we just get this twice?
	Or am I on...
	No!
	That's...
	I mean, talk about your random number theory.
	Oh yeah.
	Wow.
	I see that.
	It never surprises me.
	Play the ISIS in America jingle because every time I hear the original song out in public, I have to stop myself and sing out ISIS in America.
	And Dan Hartman, my friend, I wouldn't say my good friend, but I knew him before he died and he would be tickled to hear this for sure.
	Thank you for your courage, soon to be Sir Dude Named Matt.
	And yes, we thank you for your courage, sir.
	So I'll do the whole sequence again as deserved.
	Ha!
	ISIS.
	We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS. You've got karma.
	Boom!
	Nice.
	That is weird, man.
	Two of those almost in a row.
	Yeah, since we haven't heard it for months.

	Yeah, that's even crazier.

	Treasures for Sale by Adam Curry.
	This is the collection of stuff I've been dragging around with me for decades.
	I finally decided to clean up and get rid of it.
	Some of my quote-unquote stuff is worthy of a good new home.
	Collectors may find some of the items of interest.
	Others for sentimental value of our actual use.
	Yeah, okay.
	I'm in.
	Alright, check the...
	It sold me.
	Okay, you want to go to the Apex Aural Exciter.
	The Sonics 1401 Broadcast Audio Processor?
	Yeah, you can do that, but first go to the Apex Aural Exciter and Optical Big Bottom, John, and look at the description.
	I already have one of these.
	I like putting...
	Oh, brother.
	Okay, I'll read this.
	This is the Apex Aural Exciter as a device.
	Horowitz has one, too.
	Like putting my testicles up for sale.
	This is the infamous Big Bottom that made me sound like the biggest, baddest mofo in broadcasting and podcasting.
	Not only my voice, but John C. Dvorak has run through this puppy for hundreds of hours.
	A true collector's find.
	Now go to the Talos Xtreme ISDN codec.
	Guess what?
	You got one of those too.
	Yes, I do.
	But check it out.
	This is worth money.
	That's why I priced it high.
	Oh, yes.
	500.
	Used on the infamous Aero Classic Rock morning radio show that got burned to the ground after exposing pedo bears in the Dutch Justice Department.
	That's a fine for any collector, John.
	Yeah.
	Has it got burn marks on it?
	No.
	A lot of stuff.
	You got a bearing shark, which is...
	Yeah.
	You're asking too much for.
	Well, hello.
	Soundcraft four-channel mixer you're asking too much for.
	I already sold one.
	How many did you have?
	Oh, yeah, two of them.
	Mm-hmm.
	You sold one for $100?
	No, it's $50 per.
	It's $100.
	Oh, I... No, it says price $100 each.
	You pay shipping.
	Oh, shit.
	I sold it too cheap to him then.
	Damn it.
	The Mac Pro, surprisingly.
	A lot of people got a lot of stuff here.
	Yeah, but there's more coming.
	Swap watch.
	Yeah, please read the description.
	Stupid Dick Tracy-like watch that makes a SIM card and connects, that takes a SIM card and connects to something else via Bluetooth.
	Crazy expensive and douchey at the time of purchase.
	Price?
	$50.
	You pay shipping.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you pay shipping.
	It's overpriced.
	Ten bucks is what I'd say.
	You should do a garage sale.
	Let me give you the real price here.
	I already sold that.
	I already sold it for the ask.
	You did?
	Yeah, baby.
	Oh, brother.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	All right.
	You got a lot of stuff.
	It's all gear.
	I thought it was like, you know, hats.
	No, there's more stuff coming.
	T-shirts and old used underwear.
	I can think of a few words.
	All right.
	So I went and I watched the Sarah Lacey presentation.
	Sarah Lacey is the, is she the editor-in-chief of Pando?
	No, she is the founder and one of the, she's a founder.
	Founder, okay.
	So she was doing, and writer, and she was doing, she was in town?
	No, this is from her speech that she did that was lauded by women I know.
	About the bro culture in Silicon Valley.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, she's been on that.
	You're going to explain later.
	Okay.
	You've explained it to me.
	This was a set-up bit.
	Remember your punchline.
	Are you back?
	I'm mum.
	I also put her entire prezzo in the show notes.
	It's a flower point.
	Now, I'm just playing this just so you can hear what she's saying.
	I think the way she says...
	Also, what she's wearing is very interesting.
	It's kind of like a Lena Dunham outfit.
	And I think she's gone full Lena Dunham.
	And she makes very generalized statements, very broad, sweeping statements.
	And to me, it's like, absolutely, there's women and men, there's a problem everywhere.
	Everywhere.
	And I'm sure that where there's money, there's even bigger problems.
	As we know, most of the wars in the world are about a couple of guys, turf, and a hooker.
	It's always the same.
	It's always what it's about.
	Always.
	So it's always good to improve everybody.
	And yes, we all want to be better.
	But I'm not so sure your approach is going to work very well.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	How are you?
	Hello.
	My first book I ever wrote, actually my second book was about entrepreneurship and emerging markets, and I was hugely pregnant when I was promoting it, and I did 30 keynotes around the world, and I got to go talk to all these places about why Silicon Valley was so great.
	And they would look at me like, yeah, we know, shut up.
	Today, you get to hear about why Silicon Valley is awful.
	This is the keynote you've been waiting for if you're outside the Silicon Valley ecosystem and sick of the smugness.
	And I honestly said she's smugly.
	Don't know how I'm going to get through all of this in 18 minutes.
	I have just spent over a year writing a book about my journey from cool girl patriarchy enabler.
	Was she ever a cool girl?
	Is this a TEDx talk?
	No, it's just a conference.
	She said 18 minutes, and that to me is a TED talk.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, she didn't get paid, if that's what you're asking.
	Well, they don't pay a TED. That's my point.
	So she's speaking at a conference in Scandinavia.
	Maybe they paid her a plane ticket or something.
	But she wants to get out, so she's going to do all these, just like her previous tour of all over the world, 30 TED talks.
	TEDx, I'm sorry.
	Journey from cool girl patriarchy enabler to badass feminist mama bear.
	And so I've researched every element of this.
	And we are in the middle of a brosplosion.
	Brosplosion.
	Silicon Valley.
	That is like working around the clock.
	So I'm going to move super quick.
	Everything on these slides is sourced.
	I can send you the slides if you want the data and you want the sources.
	Just email me afterwards.
	And we're going to like micro machines speed through this.
	Hey, baby, let's micromachine speed through this, okay? - Okay.
	I don't even know what that means.
	I liked it so much, I remembered it.
	Micromachine through this, okay?
	Huh.
	What does it mean?
	I don't know, but it's the whole presentation that I just found bothersome.
	Because she comes across as extremely smug.
	And I don't understand why she chose that tactic.
	Maybe that's just the way she is, but she has an extremely valid point.
	But when she gets to the reasoning as to why this is happening or what influences are going on, it gets a little dimension B. You have a valley full of guys who want to talk about how horrible Donald Trump is.
	They act just like him.
	They may not share the politics, but they literally do the exact same tactics.
	To the point where, if you even look at some of the walk-back apologies from the men who have lost their jobs...
	This is also interesting.
	This is a new term we've got to be on the lookout for.
	Walk-back apologies.
	Walk-back apologies.
	It means that you apologize, but it wasn't good enough!
	...over these sexual harassment scandals.
	They're calling it witch hunts and fake news.
	I mean, it's...
	It's actually amazing that they don't see that they're looking in the mirror.
	Any thoughts before I play this out?
	It sounds, Sarah has this speaking style that I think is, this is pretty much her style.
	Okay.
	And I don't know if she can.
	It's a little valley girl-ish.
	She's very, yeah, she's very, yeah, a little bit.
	She's from the South.
	She'd do her Southern thing.
	She doesn't really want to, I don't know, she hates, I don't know why she hasn't got it.
	Because that's enabling the patriarchy.
	Unfortunately for all those bros, energized feminism in America.
	Women of my generation are wearing pink hats on their head.
	Who spent their 20s and 30s with kind of Handmaid's Tale style blinders on, wanting to pretend sexism didn't exist and wasn't a thing.
	We've now gotten just so horrified by the amount of rights that this administration wants to take away from us.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Is this sourced?
	Can I find the source of this, of the rights?
	Your rights that are being taken away?
	I'm sorry.
	It should be in the slide.
	It should be a reference on the slide.
	It's not.
	But we've been so horrified by our rights being taken away.
	Do you have a thought about what rights are being taken away?
	None that I know of.
	Her rights, specifically her rights.
	She definitely still has the right to speak at these events.
	Yes, she has the right.
	I presume she's talking about the right to an abortion, which she still has.
	That right has not been taken away.
	It's been made difficult by douchebags.
	I'll agree with that.
	Certainly in Texas, douchebags.
	But it's not like everybody with a pink hat couldn't put their money together and build an approved clinic.
	I'm in.
	I'm in.
	No, I don't see that.
	It has to be the government.
	I'm sorry, I'm just getting off.
	And the language against women.
	It has caused this huge conversation on a national level about what women have endured that women never wanted to face or talk about before.
	So you've got all of us in our 30s and 40s and 50s in this industry who suddenly want to be thought about.
	We want to thrive as women in this industry and want to work for and help other women in this industry.
	And this has now become our issue.
	On top of that, you have the millennial generation and all of that millennial entitlement we've all read so many case studies about is great for women coming up who are millennials because they are simply not accepting the I gotta pay my dues bullshit that women of my generation accepted.
	On top of that, you have the Teen Vogue generation that basically has a 20 year head start on my generation in accepting that Feminism, there's a need for feminists, and they want to identify as feminists.
	Man, this could not be more polar opposite to the elephant story, huh?
	Damn.
	Good contrast.
	Good work.
	Yeah, thank you.
	So what's interesting is that she's blaming Trump, and she's saying that this is the bro culture?
	Maybe she's not saying the harassment, but the bro culture, that this is because of the president?
	Does this ring true?
	Did she say that?
	Yes, she said it's because of Trump.
	They don't like his politics, but they talk about fake news and witch hunt in their walk-back apologies, which means you apologize is not good enough.
	Well, she's definitely in the hate-Trump camp, like everybody else in the Valley, and she says so herself about even the men.
	For some reason, Silicon Valley has become Democrats, and I'm not absolutely sure...
	How that happened, why it happened, but it happened.
	And a lot of it has to do with, like, for example, when I went shooting with a friend of mine, CEO, friend of mine, he said, do never, never say that you've ever been shooting with me.
	Oh, gee.
	Fantastic.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	If you don't think that's a fascist environment, I don't know what is.
	But it's a little disingenuous because she was on this CEO thing a long time ago.
	Didn't she have the first altercation with the Uber guy?
	She had, she had first, her first altercation was with Zuckerberg.
	Oh!
	Refresh my memory.
	That's an old, it's one of her things, she got blasted for it because she did an interview of Zuckerberg she wanted to do and she, they went, you know, Zuckerberg's kind of a doofus and so it didn't work out for her and everyone criticized her.
	People like to criticize Sarah.
	And I think it may be this style that you're talking about.
	I talked to her about it years ago.
	And, yeah, she had a huge altercation with the head of Uber, and the guy threatened to kill her or something.
	Some were screw with her.
	And somehow she got wind of it, and she made an issue out of it, and the guy who turned out to be a douchebag that he was.
	And, okay, and this was way before Trump.
	Hmm.
	Okay, so it's not something that just happened because of President Trump.
	No, Trump is a convenient whipping boy in this case, the way I see it.
	We do need to figure out how to address this in a way different than we're doing right now.
	Because I know that any woman listening can't even hear that we're trying to be reasonable.
	They just hate us.
	I don't think every woman, but I think a lot of women misinterpret everything because, well, if you guys only knew, kind of thing...
	But yeah, I think it's unreasonable to bring Trump into the...
	I think it weakens the argument.
	Well, it's not even that.
	It's just, how do we move forward from this?
	How do we just move forward?
	Because it's a great topic, and it's like the pharmaceutical industry.
	This will just go on forever and ever and ever, and we'll treat the symptoms by firing guys and making guys like Mark Cantor look like a huge douchebag, which is just sad.
	Yeah.
	We're not going to talk at all about what it was like at Department of Homeland Security when Lucy Napolitano was there.
	Men were actually being...
	Here's your desk, stupid man.
	You can sit in the bathroom with your desk.
	That's how men were humiliated under Janet Napolitano.
	Yes, it was a scandal.
	It was a real scandal.
	No, it wasn't a scandal.
	It was a scandal on our show because we knew about it.
	And nobody else is picking up on it.
	It's all one-sided.
	It's an agenda.
	She is serving an agenda.
	Women who listen to no agenda.
	We have quite a few.
	We have quite a few.
	Just tell me what you want.
	I'm very willing to do anything.
	You can't say education.
	What do you want?
	I really mean it.
	I hold doors open.
	I stand up for women.
	I do all the approved things.
	This is an issue.
	You have the situation with...
	I mean, they're putting men in a bind, at least these different groups.
	And I would put Sarah in that group of doing this.
	Are you supposed to open the door for a woman?
	Or are you not supposed to?
	If you open the door, it's an insult to some women.
	It's demanded by others.
	Are you supposed to pick up the check at lunch?
	Are you supposed to split the check at lunch?
	Or are you supposed to let them pay for lunch?
	With some women, you're in trouble if you don't split the check or you're a douchebag or a chauvinist pig if you pick up the check.
	Or if you let them pick up the check and you really should have picked up the check, it's your fault.
	I have a door question, which is an issue for me.
	This is like, maybe we should ask women for their pronoun.
	And the pronoun wouldn't be a pronoun, but it'd be like, there's five kinds of men.
	You have to be male number six, number four, number three.
	And that means you have to act like this.
	You can't open the doors.
	You can't pick up the check.
	Here's the question.
	But is that a ruse?
	Because you really should force yourself to open the door and pick up the check?
	Because that's what they want.
	I don't know.
	I gave up.
	And there you go.
	Here's the question.
	I have a door issue.
	If the door opens inward, do you, like a shop door or any other big door, do you a...
	Push the door open and stand aside while straining your muscles, keeping the door open so the female can enter first?
	Or do you open the door, enter, twirl, and hold the door open so the female can walk in then?
	I always twirl when given the chance.
	I've gotten in trouble with twirling.
	Because you're making a scene.
	I don't know I used to twirl.
	Now I'm a holder.
	I think you should twirl, hold the door open, and then bow, and then have a sweep of your right hand, do it with a welcoming sweep.
	And her pronoun is Your Majesty.
	Your Majesty, you may enter.
	And you stay bowed over until she lets you at ease.
	I think the twirl move is seen as incorrect.
	I really do.
	What's wrong with twirling?
	Because you entered first.
	The idea is to show your power.
	You are going through the door and then twirling and then holding it open?
	Yeah, bad.
	As opposed to pulling it open and letting them go.
	No, it's not pulling open.
	If it opens inward, that's the problem.
	Heavy door opens inward.
	With the palm of your hand, you can go flat and press the door and then allow Her Majesty to go through.
	Or you can go in, twirl, hold the door open, which is what I thought was the cool move.
	Well, here's the deal.
	In California, it's illegal for a door to only open inward in any public place.
	Yeah, well, this is Austin.
	Yeah.
	It's like, die.
	Die in case of fire.
	I don't know.
	What do you think?
	I mean, so you like to plow through the door and then hold it for the person?
	Yes, I find that to be more logical, but I've noticed...
	I also think, I think it's chauvinistic a little bit, but I think what you're doing is you're going in first, that way you'll take the bullet.
	That's what I'm always saying.
	Baby, the bullet's going to hit me first.
	It's like food tasting.
	You can't let them go in.
	Do you give them a little kick in the butt when they go in?
	Just let them go in first.
	Wow.
	Yeah, we're off the track here, but this is important stuff.
	It is.
	I agree.
	This is a serious question I have.
	And I believe that the proper way that is expected from the patriarchy is to make yourself thin and flat sideways and then hold the door open with your right or left hand, whichever one is appropriate.
	So that is what is expected of us, and that is what I'm doing.
	Okay, so what you're going to say is the best way.
	Okay, now this is a door that opens in and they're going in.
	So you're going to go up to the door, put your hand on the door, smudge it.
	You're going to be smudging the door.
	And if you can manage to do it, because it takes a little leverage.
	It does, depending on the door, it can be tough.
	Yeah, and so you push the door open and then you hold it open and you move yourself kind of like you kind of suck yourself back a little bit.
	Yes.
	And then they proceed in.
	Now, you could let the door go and have it hit them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Which is always funny.
	But generally speaking, you would hold it open until they got in.
	They say, thank you.
	And then you follow.
	Yes, follow.
	Yes, exactly.
	I think that is probably the best way.
	Mm-hmm.
	Because you get to smudge the door.
	Yep, that's cool.
	It's kind of risky that, you know, because if you slip up, you're going to hit him with the door.
	So you're showing actual masculinity, like, look what I can do.
	I will protect you from this horrible door!
	Yes, exactly.
	Now, going in and twirling, in other words, you plow through the door.
	It's kind of super gay.
	It's very, well, super maybe.
	But the other one is to let them open the own damn door.
	Ha ha!
	In the morning!
	All right, everybody.
	And while we're on that topic, let's go to Bowl of Stupid...
	With Diamond and Silk, because you said you wanted to talk about it.
	I like these girls.
	Silk, girl, who goes into this week's bowl of stupid girls?
	Well, Diamond, Diamond, Diamond, this week's bowl of stupid girls goes to Rosie O'Donnell.
	Oh, it looks like Miss Rosie is exhibiting moronic behavior because she's running around acting like a moron.
	Now, it appears that she may have made up a video game, and we'll say allegedly where it has to The president of the United States as if he was falling off a cliff.
	Well, how about if somebody pushed you over the edge, Rosie?
	How would you like that?
	How would you like that?
	Or how would you like it if somebody rolled you over the edge like you was Humpty Dumpty?
	That's right.
	Uh-huh.
	So let me just get you straight.
	Get her straight.
	Because I got to get her straight.
	Yeah, we do.
	Look, you hungry hippo psychotic.
	Thank you for censoring me, Silk.
	You're welcome.
	Since you want to show our president falling off a cliff, how about you do us all a favor?
	How about if you throw yourself overboard?
	You may have a hiding place somewhere.
	Uh-huh.
	Silk, get that ball on out of here.
	Get it on out of here.
	It just makes me mad when I see these elitists always putting stuff together to damn our president.
	And it just really makes me angry.
	And I thought she was supposed to be leaving.
	Ain't she about to be gone?
	These women are pros.
	They're pros.
	100% pros.
	No, I ever said you brought that up.
	I started thinking about it.
	You're right.
	They're way too good.
	Oh, man.
	And now that someone is doing a nice little bit of editing bits in there, it takes time.
	You look at the website.
	You just look at everything.
	They've got agents.
	You want to invite them on your show?
	They're pros.
	And I can see them There's some videos of them being interviewed, and you can see them going in and out of their roles.
	You really can.
	I'm sure they just discovered this, that they could do it, but somehow this is now a pro-operation.
	I think this is a Roger Stone game.
	It would not surprise me.
	At all.
	He did work with him in July of 2016 on a stage.
	Good one.
	And I think that somewhere along, he's the kind of guy that would come up with something like this.
	Yeah.
	And I think that they were, they may have had a predilection toward Trump in the first place.
	I mean, the early stuff, maybe they were pro-Trump, very unusual for black women.
	Black women came out for Hillary just massively.
	More so than the men.
	And These women are counter to that, and I don't know whether they're sincere, to be honest about it, but they're definitely funny.
	I like them.
	They're pros, and they've got a good point.
	I remember when President Obama became president, Apple would not allow a whole bunch of games, apps, to be sold on the App Store.
	Because, you know, you couldn't be disrespectful towards the president.
	Right.
	But now we have the push the president over the ledge app and there's, you know, all kinds of bullcrap like this.
	That's a valid point.
	Yeah.
	Someone should call Apple to account.
	Well, it's again, it's the left-leaning Silicon Valley.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	I know exactly what it is.
	Oh, I got something really, I think, very interesting.
	This is...
	Who is this?
	This is a guy from Bloomberg Businessweek.
	And he's on NPR and he's talking about Banyan, your buddy Banyan, and fake news.
	Because you kind of brought him up here with Stone, Bannon.
	These people, they're still so upset about these guys.
	Publishing guys.
	Guys in media.
	Helping out Trump.
	And there's two clips.
	I'll play the first one just so you can kind of get an idea of what he feels about how Bannon in particular helped Trump win.
	Bannon wanted that book to be fact-based in the hopes that the mainstream press would pick up on it and would publish facts from there and that that would work against Hillary.
	And that's in fact what happened.
	That's exactly right.
	In fact, that's what drew my interest in Bannon originally.
	He had what I thought was a very shrewd analysis of why conservatives in the 1990s had failed to stop Bill Clinton.
	And Bannon's analysis was that conservatives had become so wrapped up In their own rumors and silly scandals, what today we would call fake news, that they didn't realize that they had kind of lost the general public and did not have credibility.
	And so they went ahead and impeached Bill Clinton.
	And then they looked up and nobody really went along with them.
	It didn't hurt Clinton politically.
	It didn't hurt the Democrats politically.
	And Bannon's analysis of that failure went as follows.
	He decided that in order to really stop the Clintons, you had to rely on facts and not rumors.
	And so what he wanted to do was to go in and dig into all the foreign contributors who'd given money to the Clinton Foundation.
	He wanted to try and get the speeches, the private speeches, I should call them, that Hillary Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs and others.
	And really fan this idea that there was just something nefarious or disreputable going on at the heart of this.
	And the idea was, look, investigative reporters are legitimately interested in this stuff.
	So if we can marshal a bunch of facts, not rumors, but facts...
	Hand them over to reporters at places like the New York Times, the Washington Post, Bloomberg News, then I am confident that they will look into these stories themselves and they will drive this narrative that I think is going to be harmful to the Clintons.
	And as you say, that's exactly what happened.
	So, if I understand properly, they got all these facts, which are really good facts, And then they just put the facts out there and helped the president, helped Trump become the president.
	What?
	That's kind of what I heard him say.
	Yeah, that's kind of what he said.
	Yeah.
	But when did this happen?
	Well, it didn't.
	However, they're going to talk about a fact here, which we've talked about on this show for years now.
	Which is now a subject of a new Tom Cruise movie, which I haven't seen.
	I watched the trailer.
	It looks great.
	But I don't know if it's Dimension...
	Tom Cruise knows how to make good trailers.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if it's Dimension A or Dimension B, the conclusion of this movie.
	It must be B, but it's about Mena, Arkansas, and the drug running.
	Okay.
	Which the Clintons were involved in.
	I'm just going to say it.
	And so this comes up in this conversation.
	And continuing with the anti-Clinton theme here, Robert Mercer, the father of Rebecca Mercer, and they're both very big funders.
	You know, they are the ones who also bought a stake in the Cambridge Analytica outfit that caused Brexit.
	All right?
	They caused it.
	They caused it, and they did it with Putin.
	During the Clinton presidency, I think it was then, he had this theory or supported the theory that Bill Clinton, when he was governor of Arkansas, had been involved in a CIA-backed drug-running scheme based out of an Arkansas airport.
	This was a conspiracy theory that had some prominence on the far right fringes.
	That's us, John.
	The far right fringes.
	It would seem so, but that's bull crap.
	An Arkansas airport.
	This was a conspiracy theory that had some prominence on the far right fringes.
	Who is this they're talking to?
	This is the guy from Bloomberg Businessweek.
	This guy sounds just like Matt Taibbi.
	A little bit.
	I think there's a milieu there we're dealing with.
	Joshua Green.
	All right, it's almost done.
	We encounter a lot of conservative donors, especially not successful businessmen, who are willing to believe things quite that extreme, even if they intensely dislike the Clintons.
	But I think that gives a flavor of Mercer's animus and paranoia about the Clintons and helps explain why he was so determined to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming president.
	Now, with my No Agenda hat on, I immediately think, wow, are they promoting the Tom Cruise movie?
	Is this whole thing to promote the Tom Cruise movie?
	Because I didn't know about this movie until I was looking around for...
	Other stories on Mina since this came up.
	And then I see the trailer.
	I'm like, oh, okay.
	Has that crept in and they're trying to defuse it?
	I mean, we don't know what the movie's like yet.
	But Mina is a great story.
	All kinds of dead people.
	It's fantastic.
	It's really the basis for the Clinton body count.
	Yeah, and of course, we were condemned by one of our producers for not discussing at all the latest.
	I have a clip.
	I have been waiting for a clip because I wanted it all neatly packaged because I'm, well, my conclusions after our clip.
	A GOP operative looking for Hillary Clinton's deleted emails and a Haitian official set to testify against the Clinton Foundation are both found dead as a result of suicide.
	Now investigative journalists are asking whether the deaths of these men have anything to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
	The first man to reportedly take his life was Republican strategist Peter Smith.
	An opposition researcher and GOP donor, Smith died more than a week after he gave an interview with the Wall Street Journal about his quest against Hillary Clinton.
	He told the newspaper he was working to retrieve the 33,000 emails believed to race from Clinton's private server.
	But his death is raising eyebrows.
	The suicide note said, quote, there was no foul play whatsoever.
	It also said Smith took his own life because of a terminal illness and that his life insurance was about to expire.
	The autopsy said he died of asphyxiation due to displacement of oxygen in a confined space with helium.
	What is that?
	What is that?
	Asphyxiation?
	Confined space with helium?
	Yeah, you can kill yourself with helium.
	It's not that hard.
	Wait, I'm just trying to get in the guy's head.
	So instead of sitting in the garage with the engine running, he goes out, gets some helium.
	Which is not cheap nowadays.
	It is very expensive.
	And he puts his head in a bag of helium?
	I mean, this is how you want to end your life?
	It doesn't sound right to me either, believe me.
	Just be careful of helium balloons.
	You've got to add that to the list, to hot tubs, canoes in D.C. waters.
	Please, no small aviation.
	Due to displacement of oxygen in a confined space with helium.
	Despite the note, the Wall Street Journal said the operative was close to finding the truth behind the emails, was hell-bent on locking up Hillary, and showed no signs of giving up on his goal.
	He was on the record.
	He reached out to me.
	He was in no way ashamed of what he had done.
	emails would eventually surface.
	He really believed that he was at the end as he described it.
	Stop, stop.
	He firmly believed that what he did was right.
	What did he do?
	Because it sounds as though he did something illegal.
	If you listen to that, what the guy said as he explained, it sounds like he did something illegal to get whatever he got, if he got anything at all.
	But what was it?
	It was just kind of vague the way he prattles us off, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Good.
	I don't know.
	I'm trying some helium.
	I'm not sure what happened.
	He was actually quite proud of it and fervently believed that these emails would eventually surface.
	He really believed that he was at the end as he described it.
	He thought that he was at nearly the last chapter of a long saga and that soon these emails would come to light and that he would ultimately be vindicated in this quest that he was on.
	I don't know.
	It's about the emails, and I'm very troubled by the 33,000 emails, and we know when that number crops up, that's a signal, that's a sign, there's something going on.
	And we have more on the clip.
	Meanwhile, the suspected suicide of Haitian official Klaus Eberwine is now under investigation in Miami.
	Eberwine was a former director general and advisor to the Haitian president.
	He was due to appear in court this week to testify in the Haitian Senate against the Clinton Foundation for alleged corruption.
	Because she takes a tremendous amount of money.
	And you take a look at the people of Haiti.
	I was in Little Haiti the other day in Florida.
	And I want to tell you, they hate the Clintons.
	because what's happened in Haiti with the Clinton Foundation is a disgrace.
	The official was an outspoken critic of the Clintons and accused them of redirecting billions of dollars of State Department aid for the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake right into the pockets of their foundation.
	According to Haitian newspapers, Eberwine's colleagues recently said he was in good spirits with plans for the future, but he also feared for his life due to his sharp criticism.
	His friends and family were shocked to find out he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
	Although both men had different reasons for their vendettas, the two men were both seeking to bring down the Clintons' corruption.
	Now, here's the problem I have.
	Because, of course, Haiti is complete corruption from the Clintons.
	The Clinton Foundation, their buddies, this is documented.
	Look at Charles Ortel's work on this.
	Yeah, Charles Ortel is the guy who's done the best work on this.
	So, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's done fantastic work.
	He's dodged the money, where the money went.
	And that's what the claim is.
	But the way the conspiracy guys jump on these kinds of things, you know, there were all kinds of reports about both these guys and notes and what they left.
	And there's a lot of conflicting information.
	I just don't really know.
	But...
	When you put in your suicide note, there's no foul play.
	That's what I mean.
	That's kind of sketchy.
	That's kind of tough.
	And the helium didn't kill me.
	And the helium, I mean, why the helium?
	The helium is dumb.
	And if his insurance policy is going to run, you can't collect it if you kill yourself.
	No, that makes no sense.
	The whole thing makes no sense.
	But...
	So the real problem I have with the report, the gunshot, now, we don't know enough about it.
	Typically, the Clintons like to do two shots to the head and the gun in your left hand.
	That's kind of the message they like to send.
	And who was it?
	Was it Vince Foster, who shot himself in the head twice?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Yeah, fantastic.
	Yeah.
	But the helium bothers me, and I'm also very bothered by two recent suicides in the music business.
	What was it?
	The guy from Linkin Park and then Chris Connell of Soundgarden.
	Both by hanging.
	There's a lot of guys killing themselves by hanging.
	And I tried to find an answer.
	I really couldn't find anything.
	And I wonder why.
	I mean, it used to be gunshot.
	We started hanging.
	It was supposed to be a spook thing.
	Really?
	Yeah, there's a lot of...
	If the CIA wants to...
	Do a suicide, suicide to hang you.
	Because, you know, there's a lot of, you know...
	Because it's very shocking to see somebody hang you.
	Oh, yeah.
	I believe.
	I've never seen one, but I would assume so.
	Yeah, I mean, if you can...
	I don't know.
	It just seems like if you do that, you really want to send a message to somebody, you know?
	I don't know, but it's bothering me.
	So we're clueless, is what you're saying.
	I'm totally clueless.
	No, I'm throwing it out there.
	Maybe somebody has an idea.
	We have all kinds of interesting producers.
	No one has any idea.
	These guys are really good, whoever's doing this.
	I think that's the only correct answer.
	Oh, man.
	Just a final thing for me.
	Although we do have a couple more minutes if you want.
	From the UK. Now, whenever we have a shooting here in the United States, what immediately is the action that is taken is we try to take away guns.
	We try to restrict access to guns.
	Never go for the underlying reasons.
	It's always like, the gun, the gun, the gun.
	Then the gun zealots say, guns don't kill people.
	Crazy people kill people.
	Somehow, we still always wind up with restricting access or taking away guns.
	Oh, we try.
	Yeah.
	And we're always saying, you know, the UK is always like, oh, you guys need guns.
	And we always say, oh, you got knives.
	And we're trying to stick you with a knife.
	And lo and behold, this is how it's going from the Home Secretary in the Gitmo Nation, GMT. They're going to tackle knife crime.
	The proposed new action would restrict the online sale of knives and ban possession of dangerous or offensive weaponry on private property.
	So they're going to restrict the sale of knives.
	It's so hard to do this.
	Knives are everywhere.
	But I guess it's the knife.
	That's what they're going to do to tackle life crime.
	And talking about, since you brought that up, we're going to play this clip, the guns at airport report.
	Okie dokie.
	With the summer travel season now at its peak, the TSA today announced it has discovered a record number of guns at this country's airports.
	The vast majority loaded with rounds in the chamber.
	Among the passengers authorities say were found with a weapon was an American Idol winner.
	Here's NBC's Tom Costello.
	23-year-old Scott McCreary, the winner of American Idol Season 10, says he forgot he had a loaded 9mm handgun in his backpack at Raleigh-Durham Airport.
	Issued a summons, his was one of a record 89 guns found at airports nationwide last week, including this loaded.40 caliber concealed inside a wheelchair cushion in Knoxville.
	In the first six months of the year, the TSA discovered 1,800 guns, putting it on track for 3,600 for the year, yet another record in a string of yearly records.
	The most common excuse passengers claim they simply forgot.
	So they forgot that they had a loaded firearm with them.
	And you know, if you own a firearm, you really need to know where it is at all times.
	The busiest day last week, Tuesday the 11th, the TSA found 20 guns.
	The airports with the most guns last year, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and Denver.
	While it's difficult to pinpoint a reason, the confiscations are rising as more Americans buy guns and as more states pass open carry laws.
	Forty-five states now have some form of an open carry law, but bringing a gun to a TSA checkpoint can result in arrest and up to a $12,000 fine.
	Passengers who want to transport a gun must unload it and check it in a locked case.
	Yeah, people are stupid.
	It's pretty funny.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure it happens.
	Yeah.
	3,800 times.
	Jeez.
	Yeah.
	People are stupid.
	And that's only the ones they catch.
	Yeah.
	That's okay.
	I can't say anything more.
	Just people are stupid.
	They just do this stupid stuff.
	I have two clips I want to finish with.
	.40 caliber?
	What is that,.40 caliber?
	I don't know.
	I just want to get everyone riled up.
	Colt.45, you know,.40 caliber?
	I don't know what a.40 is.
	That's the most popular.
	I don't know.
	Okay.
	I want a quickie little thing here, which is I realized when I heard this, it was on Kimmel, that I miss these things.
	This is those things where they just go all around the country and get the exact...
	I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
	Answer?
	It's a...
	Law enforcement uses 40.
	Oh.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	Um...
	And this is what you get.
	They used to do this on The Daily Show.
	They used to do a lot more than they do it now.
	And I'm kind of missing it now that I have one of these.
	And this is the clip.
	You know, O.J. Simpson's been released.
	And so everybody says this is the juice on the loose clip.
	The juice is loose.
	The juice is loose.
	The judge let the goose loose.
	Or the juice, I should say.
	They don't have an original thought between them, these people.
	I mean, it is...
	not.
	And we do our own version of the juice is loose.
	Roll up, roll up with a magical shape-shifting juice.
	Step right this way.
	Roll up, roll up with a shape-shifting juice.
	Maybe I misunderstood the news story.
	I don't know.
	O.J. Simpson is referred to as the Juice.
	Yes, I know.
	I know.
	Even I know this.
	One last clip.
	And this is one of those clips of CBS, again, my favorite news source.
	CIA Broadcasting Network.
	Yeah, the CIA Broadcasting Network.
	They always leave something out, or they misreport, or they twist the facts, or they make you think one thing when they're telling you something else.
	The Tiffany Network, John.
	The Tiffany Network of news.
	Yes, the Tiffany Network.
	And here's an example.
	This story was a good story.
	It's an interesting story.
	But it really galled me for a number of things.
	And when you listen to this, tell me one or two things they completely left out of the story that you really wanted to know.
	And this is the mathletes.
	I was wondering what it was going to be.
	Here we go.
	We end tonight with an update from the International Mathematical Olympiad in Brazil.
	Team USA finished in fourth place out of 110 countries.
	Jim Axelrod met up with the American Mathletes on the road to Rio.
	The man in front of the class is no ordinary math teacher.
	And the kids in the chairs are no ordinary students.
	They are the U.S. team for the International Math Olympiad, the best high school math minds in the country.
	And Po Shen Lo is their coach.
	One can think of this as having the same role in inspiring people to do their very best in mathematics as the Olympic athletic competitions have for sports.
	The son of immigrants from Singapore, Poe was on the team in 1999.
	But when he took over as coach three years ago, the United States hadn't won in 20 years.
	No surprise, when ranking students from 71 countries, the U.S. tests in the bottom half.
	Losers!
	But at training camp at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Poe has his mathletes build strong bonds out of the classroom as well as in.
	17-year-old Zach Cromann from San Francisco is making his debut on the U.S. team.
	The team does a great job of supporting each other in the sense that no one's pressured to get a certain score.
	They feel like they've failed.
	We all just want to do our best.
	It's the same trick.
	Poe was straightforward about his low-stress approach when he interviewed for the top job.
	What I said is that if you put me in as coach, we're gonna do much worse than we ever did.
	But he was wrong.
	The drought has ended.
	The U.S. has placed first each of the last two years.
	If you just constantly challenge and enjoy the love of doing better today than you did yesterday, then you will be on an onward march towards success.
	An important lesson for world-class math students and the rest of us as well.
	It's been a great pleasure to book with all of you guys.
	Jim Axelrod, CBS News, Pittsburgh.
	Okay.
	All right.
	What was left out of the story that you might want to know?
	Who won?
	Yeah, who won, who came in second, and who came in third.
	According to the report, we came in fourth this year, even though we won the last two times, which is kind of what the elite left us off.
	They drop us off, and we just won twice in a row!
	But we didn't.
	Yeah, we did.
	A year ago.
	Who won this year?
	I don't know.
	They didn't say.
	They didn't want to tell us.
	You're not allowed to know, slave.
	So what is the point of the exercise?
	To let everyone know that we're kind of good?
	Is this foam finger time, or what is it?
	I have no idea.
	I don't know what the point was.
	It was just a typical CBS story.
	They leave stuff out.
	You don't know what they're doing.
	It's the end of the last story all the networks do nowadays.
	It's a feel-good story.
	Yes, a little human interest.
	Right, and Scott Pelley was one of the best at doing this because after he finished his...
	Funny, you know, bit story, you know, little story at the end.
	He would be laughing at the end of the broadcast.
	He'd be laughing at the end of the broadcast.
	There's a big smile on his face.
	He's glum the whole time except for the very end.
	And then he'd sign off.
	And, you know, these guys that do this human interest story at the end, all the three guys do it.
	All three networks do it.
	But they do this.
	It's like bogus.
	Who won?
	It's just annoying.
	I should look it up.
	We'll put it on the next show and figure out who won.
	And with that, we close down another broadcast day here at the Tiffany Network New Style.
	Of podcasting.
	Of Tiffany Network of podcasting.
	That's right, baby.
	Oh, I figured it out.
	The CIA, they kill you by hanging as their message.
	And if they really want to mess with you, then they make it look like auto-erotic self-asphyxiation.
	That's it.
	It's like the Mexicans put your wang in your mouth.
	The CIA does that.
	That's right.
	Could be.
	That's pretty embarrassing.
	Yeah.
	Well, I have no life insurance, so...
	Okay.
	Yeah, just letting you know.
	But I'm staying away from small aviation and everything else.
	And hot tubs.
	All right, coming to you from the Cludio here in downtown Austin, Tejas.
	We're in FEMA Region 6 on all the governmental maps.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern California, or I'm sorry, Northern Silicon Valley...
	I'm John C. Dvorak, and I remain John C. Dvorak.
	That is correct, sir, and we will be back on Thursday.
	Remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
	Until then, adios, mofos!
	I got ants.
	Music.
	Thank you.
	I got ants.
	I don't know if you had a, you know, We had ant invasion.
	I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine grind of black pepper.
	We were having dinner and I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it.
	These things are peppery.
	I got ants.
	I got ants.
	These ants, they don't need a lot.
	And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you.
	Although I backed them off by doing the burning trick.
	You just torch them.
	And you leave them there.
	The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch.
	And that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back.
	I got ants.
	Ants. Ants. Ants.
	You know who sent us these rain sticks?
	The producer from Utah.
	Oh, that's not that bad!
	Consulting manual, perhaps.
	I didn't get a manual.
	Shake the rain stick.
	Shake the rain stick All right.
	Putting out the fires.
	How should you do it?
	Where'd you get the rain stick?
	John.
	From Utah.
	Shake the rain stick.
	We know we have the power.
	That shit works, though.
	The rain stick may rain in Austin.
	Why?
	Three days or something.
	Ah, yes.
	Nothing like a good rain stick battle in the morning.
	The rain stick, I believe.
	I've been working on technique.
	No, no, no.
	Oh, no.
	We pull out our rain sticks as professionally licensed rain stick operators.
	Immediately, it starts raining.
	We did it again on the previous show.
	You got 10 inches.
	For some reason, this rain stick thing seems to work.
	It's made as a musical instrument and not as an instrument of weather modification.
	Shake the rings.
	Okay.
	So you got a little crazy for you.
	Want some crazies?
	Social justice warrior crazy?
	Just a laugh.
	Oh, I love that.
	You can play the goat screaming at the end.
	Oh, well, let me get the goat all cute.
	Nothing like a goat.
	Gotta be the goat.
	Let me just test the goat.
	Fish feel great!
	That's my heart!
	Fish feel great!
	That's my heart!
	It's no food!
	It's violent!
	It's no food!
	It's violent!
	There's this group, and these people with these, you know, T-shirts, I don't know exactly what group they're with, they run up and they grab their fish and throw them back into the water.
	Because, John, fish is not.
	Fish feel free.
	Fish feel free. Fish feel free. Fish feel free. Fish feel free.
	Fish won't do.
	Killian, what is this wrong?
	I'm all for telling kids that?
	Yeah, you're disturbing property.
	You're making this thing.
	This guy's calling the cops out.
	Yeah.
	That doesn't make any sense, dude.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	Okay.
	Mac cheese.
	Mac cheese.
	Mac Cheese Mac Cheese Mac Cheese Mac Cheese Mac Cheese Mac Cheese Mac Cheese Two cents for a rabbit?
	Why?
	Why, that's an insult.
	It's discrimination.
	I'm going to Washington.
	I got my rights.
	It's the love drug.
	You meet up with somebody, you both take a shot at this, you fall in love.
	And, or at least you're unmeanable.
	At least you can put up with each other.
	One of the group.
	Control room.
	I'll be lifted up for a minute.
	It doesn't work in the other dimension.
	No, it doesn't!
	The control room is busted!
	Listen, you crazy lunatic 70-year-old man, baby.
	Dinormous.
	I hate that word.
	Hi, pop star.
	I'm Van Jones.
	Surely you've heard of me from the homeless guy.
	People have no idea how good you are.
	Nah, thank you.
	I didn't.
	Yes.
	It was fact.
	Hey, everybody, it's RT! Whoa, here we go!
	He's a show-off gay.
	He's like what we used to call a flamer.
	I have some great gay stuff coming up later on for you.
	Whoa.
	Lost my cursor.
	Call me, call me, call me Trump, call me, call me Trump.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, I'm rolling it, though.
	She's a fast-talking dingbat.
	The head...
	Pops off into the air.
	I can't believe it took 30 million seconds.
	I like the word gushing, though.
	I got an agenda.
	I got an agenda.
	A handful.
	I didn't know there was anybody making sex robots.
	And I've seen some hugs and kisses on the cheek go wrong.
	Oh, I gotta wear a handscarp because some dumb fuck on TV tells me to?
	Fact check files.
	Yeah, they run facial recognition on his head.
	Yeah.
	What the fuck does that mean?
	No, he didn't say that.
	It was a joke, John, obviously.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	I lost my cursor.
	My trip to Hollywood.
	I went down to Hollywood, got to go into Paramount Studios, through that big giant gate.
	But I have the Wi-Fi password.
	Password is downsizing.
	Yeah!
	So there's a bunch of rules and stuff you have to follow, but I didn't follow any of them.
	Did you see any celebs?
	Yeah, they're all over the place.
	I went to the executive dining room, meet up with Luke Ryder, who was one of the producers of The Blacklist.
	Say goodbye to Hollywood.
	I didn't say anything stuck.
	I did tell him I had issues with the storyline.
	Yeah!
	Say goodbye to Hollywood.
	Everybody's interested in podcasting.
	So then I went over to E. Yeah.
	Kat Sadler is unbelievably beautiful.
	And hopefully the children who listen to the shows are regular.
	She's got a lot of Twitter followers.
	Yeah.
	So I got all my names mentioned.
	I got everybody.
	You know, it was fun.
	I drove down and I drove back.
	And I'm lucky to be alive thanks to the roads in California.
	I almost broke my axle hitting some chuck hole that was unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	Los Angeles.
	This is terrible.
	This is outrageous.
	It's terrible.
	I'm so glad that it was.
	It's Trump's fault.
	Yeah.
	I am mofo.
