Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, August 13th, 2017.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 9 or 5-5.
This is No Agenda.
Claiming the title of Counter Podcaster.
And coming to you from the darkest corners of the evening, right here in the capital of the Drone Star State, downtown Austin Tejas.
In the Clubio, in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm not to counter anything, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
Okay.
Well, you know what the good news is?
The good news is...
Is this all the good news there is?
Yeah, we have good news.
Good news.
We don't have to talk about that damn Google memo anymore.
Well, I've got a clip about it.
No!
No one needs to talk about it.
We're done.
I've got a clip about it because I have a bone to pick.
Do you want to do that right now?
Do you want to start off with that?
I might as well since you brought it up.
But first, I want to back up a couple of...
Of Beats and ask you, why do we not have...
You don't think it's going to...
Well, maybe it's only in the Bay Area, but they just babble on about this thing forever.
About what?
Oh, the memo?
The memo, the guys...
No, John.
No, the next...
I don't know if it's going to be days, weeks, or months.
We're back to square one.
We're back to Hitler.
Oh, I'm so tired of it.
Hitler!
That's what it is.
Hitler!
Hitler!
Okay, let's do your Google story.
Okay, you have it right there.
All right.
It's been a rough week for tech giant Google.
There's now a call for the CEO to resign over the way he's handled an internal memo made public that questioned the abilities of women.
The CEO fired that employee who wrote the memo, and now he's under fire.
NBC business correspondent Jolene Kent has the latest.
Tonight, pressure on Google mounting as CEO Sundar Pichai is called to resign after canceling a company-wide meeting to address gender discrimination late yesterday.
The town hall was scheduled in response to the internal memo written by engineer James Damore, now fired.
He wrote that women are underrepresented in tech due to, quote, biological differences and efforts to achieve more diversity are bad for business.
One thing that I want to make clear is that I'm not...
Just attacking diversity.
I'm not attacking Left ideology, necessarily.
I'm just attacking the fact that we can't honestly discuss any of these issues and that that is actually hurting the problem.
The downhaul was canceled when some conservative groups online threatened to expose Google workers who plan to ask questions.
Eighty percent of the company's tech workers are male, an imbalance Google has pledged to change.
Last night, in his first public remarks since the controversy, the CEO spoke to aspiring young women engineers.
I want you to know that there's a place for you in this industry.
There's a place for you at Google.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Google fired Damore for violating its code of conduct and advancing harmful gender stereotypes.
He's filed a federal complaint and told NBC News he plans to take legal action against Google.
Damore's supporters argue he's a victim of political correctness.
Diversity advocates firmly disagree.
If you show up to work and you say something that harms your coworkers, employers have an obligation to take action.
And this week, more than 80 women have reached out to a California law firm, which is planning to file a class action lawsuit against Google for alleged compensation discrimination.
This story, far from over.
Far from over.
Thank you.
Far.
Well, I can understand why it's far from over there.
You guys have your own little country going on in California.
Got your own little thing happening there.
Who gives a crap what's going on elsewhere?
So here's my thing.
All right.
Google has no friends in the media, except for one or two guys who are...
Well, of course they don't, because they're taking their money.
No, I mean, generally speaking, they don't have independent tech press, right?
Because they've cut them...
A number of years ago, they...
Contact with the outside world.
They don't have a press room that I know of.
If you want to contact somebody in the media, for media information, you have to write an email to press.
At Google.
And sometimes you hear back, sometimes you don't, but you never really get to talk to anybody.
I'm convinced.
They've become an incredibly arrogant company, and they have no sympathizers.
So people are loving this.
This is fantastic.
It's hilarious.
Oh, it's just a way to get at Google.
Yeah.
They all live in glass houses.
They should be very...
Apple's on deck next.
You watch.
Well, maybe.
Oh, yeah.
Whatever the case, there's a number of aspects of this, like this Demoner, whatever his name is, he is...
He should just go do a book deal right away.
He's making a huge mistake.
Well, he may be doing it.
And the other...
All these grousing women and some of them, they have like a...
In fact, I'll put this image in the next newsletter if I can remember.
Which shows some of the Googlers, the female Googlers, are all kind of...
There's a lot of very sketchy, nutty...
Nutty.
Women Googlers over there.
Yeah.
Well, I don't have much to add to it other than I did put in the show notes.
And people, you might want to check out those show notes once in a while.
There's stuff in there that we don't necessarily talk about on the show.
And you can go to search.nashownotes.com to find something specifically or archive.noagendanotes.com.
Go to noagendashow.com.
You can find these links.
And the four scientists that he quoted in his screed respond, including an Asian-American woman, who's one of the scientists.
And they say, well, you know, he quoted our research correctly.
But the thing that I found most interesting, I hadn't really thought...
I can read it for you, but they say, hey, our research was right.
It was spot on.
He quoted it properly.
My millennial who I've been having an ongoing conversation with about this.
Stay woke!
Oh yeah, stay woke my millennials!
Send me a thoughtful article.
What's the title of it?
Google firing shows how outrage addiction is making us stupid.
And I hadn't really thought about...
Ooh, outrage addiction.
I love this term.
And I liked it too.
And what he asserts, with some backup from research, I'm sure paid for by the tobacco industry, is just like gambling or sex, outrage can become a process addiction, a form of behavior that our bodies come to rely on to feel good.
The mechanics of anger addiction are simple.
When we erupt in anger, our brains get a hit of dopamine, which yields a sense of euphoria.
Just as drug users will quickly become dependent on their substance of choice to get that euphoria, those who overindulge in outrage will often end up relying on that behavior to release the desired dopamine.
And there were many examples of this over the weekend.
I mean, actual dopamine addicts who just erupt So I think there's something to that.
Internet outrage.
And I'm sure it makes people feel good.
It makes me feel good whenever I do it.
Whenever I go to the Reddit, I get a hit of dopamine.
I'm honest, I get a hit of dopamine.
I like saying, hey, your mom's calling.
She's upstairs.
Dinner time.
I did a lot of that over the weekend.
It was very funny.
Like, understand, I'm there for my entertainment.
So I think we should keep that in mind, the outrage addiction.
Well, apparently the whole Bay Area is addicted.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, this conversation has just kind of stopped the Google memo.
It's just kind of over.
Well, I don't know.
That last report was from Friday.
I know, but this is just in California.
It's just in California.
That was on NBC Nightly News.
Yeah, but the outrage is really only in California.
Yeah, maybe.
All I know is, I don't...
Alright.
I'm going to use this to transition because I have an outrage addict.
Hold on a second.
Where's my outrage addict?
Where's my outrage addict?
Yes.
The outrage addict in question is Ana Navarro.
Oh, God.
And it was really...
We were taken aback.
You know, I want to mention that when you...
I don't watch CNN that much, but when I watch CNN, she's on almost all the shows.
Well, she's a Republican, so she's the voice of the Republican Party.
How is she the Republican?
She is.
She's the Republican.
Well, this is the same scam the Washington Post pulls with that movement.
Very similar.
Very similar.
I'm a Republican.
I would say at this point, PBS NewsHour with Brooks is the same thing.
These are not Republicans.
But when you see the panel, you see her.
And she has a kind of a dark glow around her, if you can imagine.
A dark glow?
Sounds racist.
Sounds racist.
Well, it's like smoke or something.
She doesn't look like a happy camper ever and stands out.
Well, she's going to be on more now that CNN fired Jeffrey Lord.
Yeah.
The punching bag.
The only job he was really good at.
That was crazy.
What did he do?
He took a punch.
He said something.
I guess he posted...
He said Sieg Heil in a tweet in response to somebody's long-winded essay.
And they kept calling it the Nazi salute when he just said Sieg Heil.
It's just like really two words.
It's not to anybody making a physical salute, but that's what they kept calling it.
And it had to do with him...
It was kind of satirizing this guy's essay.
And that was it.
He's fired.
You're out.
This does not fit within CNN's...
Oh, and I want to mention, by the way, go back to that clip we just played about Google.
I did want to mention this.
I've gotten a number of notes from Googlers, and they say there was no such thing as a code of conduct at Google.
He didn't violate any code of conduct.
There is no code of...
Where's the written code of conduct?
I don't know.
I think you have to send an email to hr at google.com and see if one exists.
A couple months from now, I'll find out.
So let's listen to this conversation.
It's about...
obviously about Charlottesville and the president not denouncing the white supremacists and Nazis and hate groups and alt-right and fault-right and you name it.
But listen to Navarro when, I forget the other guy's name, just an unimportant guy who was representing the right.
He interrupts briefly and she just, you know, the outrage and you can just feel the dopamine flowing.
Now, this speech today was shameful.
Here is the bottom line.
This was not many sides.
This is one side.
It is white supremacists trying to instill terror in the streets of America.
What I saw last night was a Ku Klux Klan march.
Without the hoods.
It was a bunch of white supremacists holding torches, chanting out against the Jewish religion, chanting out about white supremacy.
And the President of the United States, because he does not want to antagonize anybody in his base, let us be clear, does not have the spine, does not have the courage, does not have the leadership to call this out by name.
And that is shameful.
No, no, no, Ben.
Ben, let me tell you this.
He is more capable of calling out Mitch McConnell.
Ben, let me tell you something.
He's a lot more capable of calling out his own attorney general.
He's a lot more capable.
In the last 24 hours, he hasn't been calling out Mitch McConnell.
But he doesn't have the spine or the guts to call out once a Slow dopamine.
I asked a simple question.
And I am not going to defend that.
I don't care what party he is.
I didn't ask you to defend that.
I asked you a question.
Should the person who was driving the car into the crowd, killing people or attempting to kill people, should that person also be condemned?
Absolutely.
And he didn't do it.
Okay, then that would be considering both sides.
Ben, Ben, Ben.
Hold on, Anna.
Hold on, Anna.
Let me just make sure the facts are out there.
Not what happened with the plowing of the car.
Both sides today, the person who was driving the car should be condemned.
The other people that were involved in the violence as well.
Both sides today became violent.
We see it on the video.
I'm not sure they were on different sides.
That's the issue here.
We don't know that they were on different sides.
You can't say that this is both sides of violence.
What's white supremacists?
And then what we saw were some brave people risking their lives and putting themselves in between white supremacists and what they were doing.
So we saw white supremacists initiate this action, try to bully those people, try to instill fear.
And we saw brave people there in Charlottesville standing against them.
You cannot equate both sides.
This was not many sides.
Today, it was not many sides.
Today, it was white supremacists.
And what the President of the United States said, by trying to deflate it as many sides, what he's trying to do is send a dog whistle to his base.
Yes, dog whistle.
So that's dopamine flowing right there.
She's having a good time then, by your theory.
She's living it up.
She's feeling great.
I do have a Charlottesville clip which brings up a bunch of points.
And mentioning the guy in the car who rammed into a bunch of people and then smashed into a car.
A couple of things when you listen to this.
This is my Charlottesville clip.
Which is one of the networks.
I think it's...
I'm not sure.
It says at the end, perhaps.
Anyway...
A couple of things that aren't covered.
Who was this guy running into?
Was he on the one side or the other?
This little report here that you just played, it makes it sound like he was on the Antifa group, which I believe could be.
Could be.
The guy was talking about naming names and calling people out.
What was this guy's name?
Yeah, well, you know, we've been waiting for some proof, although multiple people have been put on television as suspect.
Just plaster your face or your name up there.
And it's odd that it's taking a long time, unless something's happened now, being show day, maybe we do know for sure.
I heard multiple versions.
It was on the face bag for a while.
Why aren't these big network hotshots telling us?
Yeah, whatever's going on, it doesn't fit the narrative.
And why did CNN not tell us?
And why didn't Navarro name this guy?
Because I think the narrative doesn't fit.
What I understand might have gone down is that this guy was attacked in his car and he was being beaten.
His car was being beaten and he hit the gas.
That's one story I've heard.
So that would certainly not fit the narrative.
Nothing fits the narrative.
So let's play this Charlottesville clip.
And you'll find another little interesting tidbit here, which I'm getting annoyed by it, but it's also very interesting how they're doing it.
There's a little propagandistic stuff they're doing.
Virginia's governor declared a state of emergency in Charlottesville today as white nationalists clashed in the streets with counter protesters.
Groups including the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis came from across the country to rally against plans to remove a Confederate statue from a park.
The violence included an apparent attack with a car on a crowd of peaceful protesters.
At least one person was killed.
This all took place a short distance from the University of Virginia, which was founded by Thomas Jefferson.
President Trump addressed the crisis from his golf club in New Jersey.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.
Paula Reid has the latest now from Charlottesville, and we caution you, some of the video is graphic.
One person is dead and 19 injured after a speeding vehicle drove into a group of protesters marching peacefully through downtown Charlottesville.
Is your impression that this was deliberate?
Oh, 100%.
There's absolutely no way.
He was going so fast it flew people like 10 feet and nailed those two cars forward.
This comes after a day of clashes between alt-right protesters and counter-demonstrators earlier this morning.
For over an hour, demonstrators dispensed tear gas and threw water bottles with little interference from police.
The rally was shut down after the governor declared a state of emergency.
This event has been declared an unlawful assembly.
Police and tactical gear ordered protesters to leave the park.
Controversial right-wing blogger Jason Kessler planned what he called a pro-white rally here to protest Charlottesville's effort to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a city park.
Friday night, fights broke out and police had to be called after alt-right protesters marched through the University of Virginia campus swinging torches.
Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer said they were ready for the protesters.
There are tons of outsiders coming here who have traveled all across the country to try and make Charlottesville a target for their ideology.
In July, about three dozen Klan members came to the city to demonstrate.
Mayor Signer says the actions of a few will not stop his city from moving forward.
We've taken on the right work here in this historic city.
I refuse to be intimidated by somebody who thinks we can stop that work, we can stop changing the narrative, just because I'm going to shout and yell and send you a bunch of nasty tweets and open carry in your public parks.
You know what I find a nice touch, I'm just realizing?
That the car was a Dodge Challenger, which is the same as the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazzard.
Yeah.
That was also a Dodge Challenger.
Yeah.
Nice touch.
Yeah, if it was painted orange, I'd be a little boring.
Still a nice touch.
Alright, I heard a couple things here.
Again, what I found most interesting, and that's why I started the show off that way, is the term counter-demonstrators or counter-protesters.
That's a whole new name for a group that has multiple names already, and we're carrying their signs.
And carrying their colors.
I mean, this was Black Lives Matter.
I saw that.
I saw Antifa.
Just to call them counter-demonstrators or counter-protesters, a bit of a stretch.
Well, the other thing that I noticed is what does CBS... What CBS did is they started to report out with KKK and Nazi, was it neo-Nazis and KKK, neo-Nazis, KKK, and then when they start to, when they do the on-the-site report to stand-up out there, She starts saying alt-right, alt-right, alt-right.
And then at the end, the whole report, it ends with alt-right and KKK. And they're trying to make an association here because the idea is to blast Bannon.
Bannon is alt-right.
He's right in the White House.
No, Bannon has to be disavowed.
Yeah, he should be.
And Bannon is alt-right, and so he's KKK and neo-Nazi.
And Breitbart, which actually provides some very unique reporting that's accurate, they're alt-right, and thus they're KKK and neo-Nazis.
That's how you do it.
So this is really a smear.
That's how you do it.
By the way, it was a Charger, not a Challenger, the General Lee.
I was wrong.
Well, I'm glad the chatroom straightened you out.
Yeah.
Now, anyway, so the point is that this is a smear job, and the smear, I believe, is targeting Bannon and Breitbart.
Well, I have a little bit of background on this event.
Is that just a couple of meta things I wanted to mention?
This is the organizer, Jason Kessler.
This is just a little background that is interesting to know.
We have been working for two months to secure a peaceful free speech rally in support of the Lee Monument, in support of white advocacy, in support of free speech.
And we have worked diligently with the police department to secure that park.
So what happened was, one week before the event, the Charlottesville The city manager, who is like an unelected city councilor who's the most powerful of the bunch, he had the event canceled.
And they said they would get a permit, but it would have to be at McIntyre Park, this place that is far away from the Lee statue and has nothing to do with our protest.
So we got the ACLU and the Rutherford Institute to sue on our behalf.
So we took them to court because they were discriminating against our First Amendment rights based on the content of our speech.
A federal judge ruled that that was the case.
It was a federal judge who put the permit back in place.
Both sides.
And he saw that the Charlottesville City Council and city government had granted not one, but two permits to left-wing protesters, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, in the same area.
Within one block, there were two spots on either side.
So they already created an unsafe environment by doing that.
But their number one intention was not people's safety.
It was trying to disrupt the alt-right.
Interesting that ACLU helped get them there.
Yeah, well that's not unusual.
No, it's not unusual.
Here's the only thing I really have to say.
Regarding the entire thing at a meta level, we used to let people like this, like the KKK, with or without hoods, whoever.
By the way, nice touch, the torches, I gotta say.
Nice little addition to the visuals.
Good job.
We used to stand there and laugh at them.
Because I will still say that I don't like what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.
And if you just let these douchebags walk around, say whatever they have to say, then let them go, then it's fine.
But instead, we have now the call to arms of heroes, as Ana Navarro calls them, who come up in battle gear and...
It really doesn't matter who started what, although I have a feeling how it did start.
And then you get this brawl, which would have been nothing.
It would have been a minor blip because the footage was the same over and over again.
A bunch of LARPing douchebags on both sides with GoPro cameras on their helmets.
Come on, what are you fucking doing?
Just making a mess of stuff.
But when you get people dying, now it's a whole different ballgame.
And sadly, your M5M media just jumped on this to go back to the Hitler, white nationalist, racist theme.
And it's just so incredibly prevalent.
To me, it's annoying.
It's boring.
It's annoying.
And you read things like, how come the police didn't just go kick their asses?
Because you have a right to say stupid shit in America.
You have a right.
That's why we're doing this show.
You have a right to say stupid shit and shit that people don't like.
I think you can drop the word shit over and over.
But that's what it is.
That's what it is.
And this is not being discussed.
Like, you know, how did it...
Okay, here's what's not being discussed.
How did this happen?
I think we have an idea.
It's a bad idea to have multiple groups of protesters in the same area at the same time where you should just let them just laugh and look at whatever douchebags are doing because they're really not a bunch of dangerous guys except, you know, a vehicle can be a bad thing.
But more importantly, where's the conversation about why?
Who are these guys?
And girls, I guess.
Is it only men?
I saw some women there.
Who are they?
What's their problem?
What is their problem?
I'd like to see some of that.
So that's just not there.
And quite honestly, I'm very happy to see federal troops come in and anywhere there's alt-right, anywhere there's KKK or white nationalists, pick them up, throw them in jail.
And you know why?
Because I can't wait to see who's next.
That's why I can't wait.
Pick him up, throw him in jail.
Fine.
Just listen to this.
This is MSNBC Arizona Congressman Gallego, I think his name is.
I mean, you actually saw the total opposite of leadership that you need at this point.
What he should have been very clear about is that he stands against white nationalism.
He rejects their support of his campaign, of his administration.
He should fire people like Sebastian Gorka, who is a known Nazi, at least in Europe.
Okay, so Gorka is a known Nazi?
This is news to me.
It's Gallego, by the way.
Gallego?
At least in Europe.
That's a pretty big statement to call someone a known Nazi.
And he should call for investigation of these alt-right groups as well as the Nazis that are involved.
You're right.
There it is, the alt-right groups.
It's the alt-right media that has to be destroyed.
Through the Department of Justice.
That's a good example.
You made a statement the other day where you said that the president is an absolute racist.
And we're talking in direct reference to the fact that he has not come out with any type of condemnation for the attack of a mosque that happened just last week.
Not just that.
Again, it's a history of statements and actions.
This is the man that started or helped accelerate a conspiracy theory against the first black president of the United States.
This is the man who said that a Mexican-American judge could not be impartial because he is Mexican-American.
And this is a person that always seems to hesitate when it comes to white nationalist terrorists on other Americans or Look how quickly he acted and jumped on the London attacks, you know, within minutes.
But, you know, when there's an attack on his own soil— But when it's on his own soil, on our own soil, he somehow finds a way to hold back.
And that really tells me a lot about what the character of this person is.
But if the president won and won the Electoral College, won this White House, are you missing the boat on what the sentiment of many Americans around this country feel and are emboldened by in a representation of a Trump White House?
Well, first of all, the Electoral College does not represent the population of the United States.
The proper vote represents the population of the United States.
Hillary Clinton won that by almost three million votes.
There you go.
That and, you know, Buck's going to get you a cup of coffee somewhere cheap.
But if we're actually going to say— They won the White House, and their tactic won.
And doesn't that concern you, that there is an emboldened part of this country?
It feels that they have somebody that has their back that will allow something like this to take place.
Oh, absolutely.
It absolutely concerns me.
And this is why it's important that leaders or so-called leaders like President Trump to come up and say that, no, you are not emboldened.
You're not accepting.
We're not accepting your racism, your bigotry.
That is not part of the American values.
And the American people do not think this way.
Even the majority of Donald Trump voters do not think this way.
It is a very small xenophobic sector of largely men that are largely unemployed, probably living in their parents' basement, that are finding a way for them to actually be socialized and feel like they're important.
But in the end, they are the judges of American society, and once the page turns, they're going to go back to being obscure and lost and forgotten.
There you go.
My question has been answered.
I know who these guys are.
They're sad individuals in their mom's basement.
For weeks, though, I'm going to read from Town Hall.
For weeks, the left has been waging an all-out assault on Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant of President Trump and member of the National Security Council.
The attacks have been printed in media across the Internet and promoted by Democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
You just listened to one.
Yeah.
Dork is an immigrant from communist Hungary and a proud American citizen, a staunch opponent of radical Islam and political correctness.
It feeds it because of his position, in addition to his father having fought against the communist government in his former country, the left has classified him as a Nazi.
Many have also called for his citizenship to be stripped.
That's good.
Can you report that?
Can you just click a report button for someone's citizenship to be rescinded?
Well, they should.
Democrat Congresswoman Nita Lowry, and many of her, many like her, have piled on the false attacks and character assassinations.
She's done so despite admitting she has no evidence to prove that Gorka is an anti-Semite or is ever affiliated with a Nazi organization, as many on the left claimed.
Anyway, it goes on.
Well, so the problem I have with this is now it's up to the media and you know what they're doing.
And this spills over into American culture because people do not understand how to parse media, which is what we've been kind of trying to do, I guess, for a decade or so.
Well, it's time to kind of give up a little bit on it.
Why?
Because people are not interested.
Sure they are.
No, they're not interested in hearing.
Listen to this from the face back.
I don't think I can do the face back voice today.
Maybe I can.
Let me try.
Let's be clear!
DJT is a white supremacist.
He incited birtherism, caters to a movement of white nationalists who support his presidency, supports and caters to views that it is whites who are discriminated against, fosters racism with wild abandon, and includes out-and-out racists like Bannon and Sessions in his administration.
Tell the truth.
This president is a divisive, racist, anti-Semitic piece of trash.
Expecting him to acknowledge and speak out against his own views is naive.
He will not.
And then, of course, someone says, thank you for speaking the truth, heart emoji.
Heart emoji.
And she answers, this is the 60-year-old woman in Austin.
As Stephen just said, I can't scream any louder.
I really fear after today that we are headed for a civil war.
That the GOP has not shut Trump down yet is terrifying.
Starting with the festering NRA, empowering an armed and hateful white militia, the naked complicity of the GOP, the clearly obstructionist GOP, House Jew Kushner, yes I said that, and Bannon and his game plan for war and white dominance, we're in for a world of hurt.
I feel we are past writing postcards and wearing pink pussy hats.
Today will be remembered as a turning point.
The question is, what is around the corner?
The takedown of Trump by Mueller and the GOP? Or out and out war?
This simply cannot continue.
These are very dark times.
God help us all.
She's a Jew, by the way, in case you're wondering.
So I guess you can say that.
You can say House Jew if you're a Jew.
So this spills over into social media, and it just becomes a cesspool.
It is a cesspool.
Actually, it was kind of funny.
On NBC, they had a person live, and there were a couple of funny soundbites, but you really couldn't hear them.
I tried to spice them up.
But this one, they got this guy on camera.
I thought it was funny what he said.
You're talking about Nazis?
You're talking about the KKK? I'm sorry, not that one.
Here it is.
This one.
This is the one.
These gentlemen just came out and started grabbing one of the guests, the Confederate flag, and he became a big doggone melee out here.
I mean, I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't support all this, left or right or whatever.
I just believe that these people are being played by the same system that has been using it for years to pin Europeans and African people against each other on the basis of a crayon color.
We're going to go there and see what's going on.
I don't know.
I like that.
I can see that perspective, by the way.
Me too!
The black community will have that perspective.
Here is NBC lashing out at the president.
You're talking about Nazis, you're talking about the KKK, you're talking about white supremacists.
If you can't come out and easily and readily and quickly condemn that, what can you do?
No, and the ambiguity there.
You know, Mark Sanford, the congressman from South Carolina, I want to give him credit for this quote.
He has said, candidate Donald Trump's campaign unleashed a demon that's been out here on race.
Nobody is saying it should be directly tied to him, but the demon's been unleashed.
He, I think more than anybody else, has a responsibility there to help all of us do, but he has a responsibility to lead in trying to get rid of that demon.
Because that is absolutely racist.
So this is what it is.
This is what we're going to be seeing in the next week for sure, is more things that have to be denounced.
I mean, the president really has to denounce everything.
And I'm pretty sure that's why he...
Well, it sounds to me in the clip that I had that he's denouncing the situation.
But he wasn't naming names.
He's got a name name.
It's not good enough.
We've been through this.
If he apologizes, it's not good enough.
If he had said, I denounce...
The KKK. I denounce the white nationalists.
Then it would have been, oh, he didn't denounce the alt-right!
You have to denounce it!
And then after the alt-right, what's next?
I denounce podcasters!
If he denounced them, how did he fire Bannon?
He should fire Bannon!
Yes, if you denounce them, you have to fire him.
You have to denounce everything and everybody then.
I think that's why he didn't do it.
Well, they're out to get Bannon.
Apparently they're out to get Gorka.
I didn't know that until today, really.
And...
They're just trying to get rid of these guys.
They want to get rid of sex because they figure that if they just keep getting rid of people they don't like.
But the people who are on the street, the people who are on the street, they don't understand the overall strategy of the news media.
They understand what they've been pumped up with.
If that's hate has no place in America, then it must be beaten.
It must be arrested.
It must be taken.
That's what it is.
It must be beaten down.
These people are heroes.
You're counter that and you go in and you beat them up and you're great.
You did a great job.
You're counter.
Counter something.
And that is the message here.
That is what people are doing.
This is not America.
And of course, it is America.
Witness the Charlie Rose Show.
America is exceptionally religious.
Has always been exceptionally religious.
Compared to the rest of...
Founded by people who were seeking religious freedom.
Well, that's a charitable way of putting it.
Founded also by a theocratic cult of religious nuts.
But yes.
Theocratic cult of religious nuts.
That's it.
Who's this theocratic cult of religious nuts?
Is that explained?
That's alt-right, white nationalists, KKK. You just put them all into one basket.
That's all.
Put them into one big basket.
And it's done.
I don't see that changing.
This is done.
This was a seminal moment.
It's pretty bad when someone drives into a whole bunch of people and kills at least one.
Well, that's now being called three.
I believe the two others were in a police helicopter, which is a day wrecker for sure.
I know, but they have blamed that.
That gets blamed on the event.
The only blame, I think, is accurate.
The blame that we need to look at is accurately described by the president of the Wesleyan University, Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
What's his name?
Everett Piper.
Ben, he...
I don't know what was he on.
He was probably Fox or something.
It was a canned interview.
One of those like, oh, we got to fill up some time.
So they threw it in there with Dana Perino, who I think I pretty much cut out of the whole interview because she's horrible.
But here, so he's the president of this university, and he has a different take on it, and here we go.
Richard Weaver wrote a seminal work in 1948.
It was titled Ideas Have Consequences.
And what was his point?
Ideas have consequences.
They matter.
There's no such thing as a neutral idea.
Good ideas lead to good culture, good community, good corporations, good government, good kids, and bad ideas lead to the opposite.
Your grandmother said garbage in, garbage out, and she was right.
My grandmother now...
No, that is not your grandmother.
No grandmother's ever said that.
No, that's a computer term.
Yeah.
Yeah, your grandmother had no computers?
She said the Chinese were stealing the toilet paper.
That's what she said.
Right away, the guy's sketchy.
If he's going to start throwing crap like that and telling me my grandmother said some computer thing...
You might agree with his overall thesis.
I'm already against him.
Fair enough.
There's said garbage in and garbage out, and she was right.
Ideas have consequences, and we've been teaching this narcissism and self-absorption.
We've been teaching victimization for decades.
Why are we surprised to see self-absorbed, narcissistic students who are being vengeful and demonstrating vice rather than virtue in the public square?
I'm an academic.
This is my industry.
And I would claim that my industry created this monster.
We caused this problem.
Again, by the lousy ideas we've been teaching for several decades.
We're getting lousy results right now in the public square, on our colleges, and even in our corporations.
I love this Google story.
So no, I'm not surprised to see the problem.
But what I do think we need to recognize is the degree of the problem.
What we have right now is ideological fascism in the academy, in the ivory tower, in the colleges and universities, rather than academic freedom.
A fascist was a Roman bundle of sticks bound together so tightly it couldn't be broken.
And it's from that we get the word fascism.
And today, if you don't comply, if you're not one of us, if you don't think like I think and believe like I believe, if you're not going to say what I want you to say, you're verboten, you're expelled, we do not want you.
And we do this all under the banner of tolerance.
It's like saying, I can't tolerate your intolerance, or I hate you, hateful people.
It's self-refuting at every turn.
Academic freedom has been compromised because we've stopped teaching the objective standard of truth in the academy.
What is that, the objective standard of truth?
I've never heard that one before.
But I think he's right!
I think he makes a good point that all of this comes from academia.
I think it comes from the system, the entire educational system.
Academia usually refers only to the college level and up.
Okay, well, the whole system then.
What is the whole system called?
The system?
The system.
The system.
It's called the system.
The education system.
It's the education system.
It starts early, and it brings these kids up, and if the kids get to the point where they are now, where they're telling the professors what to teach, it says, you know, that whole thing is endemic.
It's like the whole, it's rotten.
Yeah, I agree.
I recommend everybody...
Academia has always been a little bit skewed.
I mean, that's nothing new.
It's only recently where it's gotten to the point of, it appears to be, it's going to turn into wreckage.
I mean, but that's because I think of the students coming up.
The new ones, the new students.
Yeah, the ones that are causing the trouble.
The ones that were at Evergreen.
The ones that were screaming and yelling.
The ones that want their space.
That's what we're talking about.
These are the ones going out.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
But I think that came up.
I don't think it's because of academia, which he kind of implies.
Okay.
So they came up into academia and they were catered to.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes, exactly.
I think that's what we've agreed on before.
So...
I don't know.
I think we're kind of lost.
I don't see any way back from this.
I just don't see any way back.
I think this is it.
I'm glad you feel that way, but I feel totally the opposite.
Really?
Yeah, because this is a cycle.
This has gone on before.
We're in a depression.
It started in 2008, 2009, and during a depression era, which includes the 30s, where we had all kinds of crazy stuff going on, including an attempted coup of Roosevelt we've talked about on the show, by the Democrats, as a matter of fact, the Democrat business people.
And this was going on in the 70s when they had Nixon and Watergate and all the rest of another downturn.
And this is just the end of it.
And we're approaching probably the last few years of this, and it's going to look the worst at the bottom.
This reminds me of what I've discussed before.
But that's not a fair comparison, John.
It's just not.
We didn't have, with Roosevelt, with the coup or the depression, we didn't have social media and asocial people.
We didn't have that.
I think the social media amps it.
I'm not denying that.
But it's beyond amping.
We get to do the show over a network of internets, and you get to read from that crazy woman in Austin, that face bag stuff.
Yeah, you couldn't do that before, but there was plenty of news.
Excuse me, look at where we are.
Last time I checked, we're not NBC Nightly News.
We're podcast news.
People still watch news.
People still read USA Today.
This is what determines how people think.
Yeah, but the people...
What was the age?
Give me the age of that woman whose face bag post that you read.
60.
She's 60.
Yeah.
That is right in the strike zone of the NBC Nightly News.
They don't cater to anybody under 60.
And the same for all the news.
All you have to do is look at their advertisements.
I know, but you know how it works.
This flows onto social media.
Social media picks it up.
That's where kids see the headlines.
They don't even read articles.
We know this.
Look at the Google memo.
People who commented the way they did hadn't actually read it.
So that's the problem.
How is that different?
Different than what?
You tell me in the 30s people were poring over the literature and the documentation that they weren't just reading these crazy, crazy...
Hey, you know what?
It's great!
After your predicted year of a demise, then everything will be back to normal.
No, it doesn't go right back to normal.
It changes a little bit.
But this is bullcrap.
Once Soros dies, this thing will probably stop immediately.
I don't think so.
Okay, well, fine.
I'm seeing a population of retarded people right now in my own country.
So what have you done over the weekend that was so depressing?
Nothing.
I don't know what to say.
I'm just kind of dumbfounded.
I'm very tired of the Hitler stuff.
I'm very tired.
Go read In the Garden of the Beast, people.
Go read that.
And tell me how it applies to today.
This movie has been done before.
Well, I would say that you don't have Hitler anymore in Germany.
Oh, no?
Oh, no?
Merkel?
Merkel?
And the Germans aren't as bad as they were during that era where you had to salute with that American salute, by the way, which was invented by, I forgot the guy's name, but that particular salute was an American invention.
It was used when we gave the...
Pledge allegiance, as you know.
And apparently, you know, Hitler saw this salute and thought it was great.
Yeah.
Seriously.
I know.
Thought it was great and adopted it.
And then pretty soon before the all was over, he had actually had the military and said they had a normal salute, military salute.
They stopped doing that.
And they all had to do the same.
Hitler's Zieg Heil salute that we talked about earlier in the show.
All you're doing is just accentuating my point because we clearly are a bunch of the Hitlerjugend here in America.
They took our salute.
They did?
Yeah.
Well, let's take it.
Well, it's okay.
Now, I think I have some sort of obscure German clip here about I got from a new show I'm tracking.
Let's see if I can find it.
I think it's smoking in Germany.
And I don't see any evidence if you listen to this clip that the Germans are anything like they were during the Hitler era.
Most people expect to be free to do what they want in the privacy of their own homes, right?
A couple in Dortmund were recently banned from smoking on their own patio.
Germany is known for stipulating rules for just about everything, from the height of garden gnomes to when you can use the vacuum cleaner.
But for the Dows in Dortmund, who say they only indulge in the occasional cigarette, a partial ban on smoking on their own premises is a rule too far.
Enjoying a smoke on your own terrace?
That's not so easy for Dirk Dover of Dortmund.
As noon approaches, he has to quickly get in his last few puffs or face jail time.
The Dortmund Regional Court has ruled that Dove and his wife may only smoke tobacco in their own yard according to a strict timetable for three hours at a stretch.
We can't smoke from noon to 3, but from 3 to 6 we can.
Then we're banned from 6 to 9 and allowed again from 9 to 12 on a 24-hour basis, even at night.
I can set the alarm for 3, sit out here and smoke till 6 a.m.
You're right, it doesn't suck.
Okay, that's the wrong example.
I think I misclipped that one.
I'll give you a borderline for that.
No evidence whatsoever.
That, by the way, is not Germany.
That's the EU. That's the European Union with the height of the garden gnomes.
And the story was a little discombobulated.
Well, that's the way they presented it.
But we have that in America as well.
You can't smoke on the balcony here in the building we're in.
You can't smoke on the balcony?
No, no.
Smoke-free building.
My thing?
I think you should change to edibles.
Yeah.
There you go.
Are you high again, John?
Did you show up to the show?
Oh, yeah!
I also have a German clip.
We're coming up on the election in September.
And it's Schultz versus Merkel.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's re-election campaign is underway.
Speaking in Dortmund on Saturday, she promised economic stability and ripped into executives from Germany's auto industry, pressing them to secure jobs through innovation and win back trust lost by a diesel emissions scandal.
The sector is the country's biggest exporter and a huge employer.
By the way, she says, I don't really believe that the quota for electric cars has been well thought out.
I mean, what are the steps being?
We would negotiate for ages in Europe as to what the quota should be, and in the end, what would we do if it's not being at here too?
It was her main rival, Martin Schulz, who suggested the quota for electric vehicles.
Merkel has warned against demonizing diesel and petrol cars.
She says we need them, but we have to shift faster to new technologies.
Merkel is far ahead of her rivals in the podals.
The election takes place on September 24th, when Merkel is seeking a fourth term in office.
I think she just put her foot in it.
This is a big problem.
While German industry, and certainly people who work in it, will be very interested in her message about not just killing off diesel engines and other combustion engines, and putting more thought into what the ultimate goal and the success rate would be of electric vehicles, Schultz is all in on the EU message.
This guy's going to win.
There's no doubt about it.
The EU will not allow Angela Merkel to get in with an anti-electric vehicle platform.
No way.
That's an interesting clip.
It's too bad they mixed it really weird there at Euronews, because you could barely hear the voiceover, but...
Yeah, it comes down to the vehicles, which is a big part of their industry.
Yeah, but politically correct is electric.
Yeah, of course it is.
And that's what Schultz, who's already an EU shill, is running on.
Right.
Very smart.
And I think the German public has always been a sucker for these sorts of politically correct arguments.
I mean, that's why the use of plastics in packaging is really minimal there because of the evils of plastic and wind power is a big deal.
No, well, that's a big deal because it's failed and everyone's paying through the nose now for their energy.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that works.
I don't know.
Well, she's not a dummy.
No.
Maybe she is sensing a kind of blowback and she's going to write that.
This is a total setup.
It doesn't matter if she wins or not, but guaranteed...
Putin will mess with this election.
Guaranteed.
You already know what's going to happen.
Without doing anything, he's messing with it already.
That's right.
He doesn't have to do much, but he'll just be messing with it.
And then whoever wins, though, because of Putin.
I loved the president's quote about the firing or the sending, was it 750 diplomats, quote-unquote diplomats, in the embassy, sending them home from Russia.
And here's Trump's quote.
755 workers from our embassy.
No, I want to thank him because we're trying to cut down on payroll.
And as far as I'm concerned, I'm very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll.
There's no real reason for them to go back.
So I greatly appreciate the fact that they've been able to cut our payroll for the United States.
We'll save a lot of money.
That's kind of like when you have a down round and, you know, your business, you have to fire employees.
That was really good.
You know, we needed to contract our payroll and, yeah, we were so happy, actually, that we had a down round.
Of course, the media picked up on that as, you know, dead serious and supportive Putin by Trump again.
I have a nice, one of our...
I gave up on trying to...
Yeah.
One of our producers sent a little ISO from his 20-year-old millennial.
That's a load of horse shit!
I liked it for some reason.
Not bad.
They're from Georgia.
So we have a new player in the great, in the melodrama that plays out about the Trump administration.
Who?
I didn't, I think I've heard her name once, maybe during the campaign, and Then all of a sudden she's this new character.
I didn't know she was this important.
I thought we had a chief of staff and all this other stuff going on and trying to minimize the open door policies of people who keep going in and out on Trump.
But play this Trump and Rona.
Rona.
There is a new twist in the Russia investigation.
ABC News is reporting that congressional investigators now want to talk to President Trump's longtime assistant, a woman considered to be his gatekeeper.
And they want to know what she may know about that meeting with the Russians at Trump Tower.
Here's ABC's David.
I have her phone number.
This is his longtime assistant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have her number.
We can call her.
Right.
Yes, call her and ask her if this is bullcrap.
I will.
Tonight, congressional investigators tell ABC News they are eager to talk with the woman who's been Donald Trump's gatekeeper for nearly 30 years.
He asked me to call you.
Rona Graff, seen here on The Apprentice.
Her official title, Senior Vice President of the Trump Organization.
Trusted with his schedule and much of his correspondence, although apparently not aware of the president-elect's first intelligence briefing.
Nobody knew.
Not even Rona, my executive assistant for years.
She didn't know.
I didn't tell her.
Her name mentioned in that initial overture to Don Trump Jr., promising high-level and sensitive information from Russian government sources about Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton.
I can also send this info to your father via Rona, the email concludes, but it is ultra-sensitive, so wanted to send it to you first.
We're also going to want to see, as referenced in that email, whether the president's assistant received any communication from the Russians.
Graf is not accused of any wrongdoing, but investigators hope she may be able to shed light on what her boss may have known.
The Trump Organization says no one has reached out to her yet.
And David Wright joins us now from near the president's New Jersey estate.
Ronagraph has been called the president's right hand, David.
He notoriously does not use email.
She has been known to print those emails for him.
So, David, what are investigators looking for?
Well, Cecilia, that's right.
For all his fluency on Twitter, the president is not much of an email guy.
And we're told that she would print emails out for his review and response.
So investigators are hoping she might be able to provide some additional insight into his communications.
As you know, they're casting a wide net.
Cecilia?
They certainly are in another twist in this investigation.
David, thank you.
Oh, okay.
We found somebody.
Rona.
Rona.
Anybody in New York media knows Rona.
That's really good.
So they're trying to tangle her, but then they, of course, report that no one's even talked to her.
But the news media's all over this.
They're kind of slandering her in some funny way.
She knows too much.
And it also...
I think it's the plant in the mind of the listeners that, oh, there's this other layer, Lerona, she's the real gatekeeper?
She must be very tiny if she's his right hand.
She's the...
Yes.
Well, he's got tiny hands, so she's got to be very small.
That was why.
So they have this gatekeeper, and then they have the...
The chief of staff, who's a gatekeeper, and then they have probably, but he's got to have a couple other people working for him that are gatekeepers.
How does anybody get into his office?
What do you think, John?
Will they get him out this term?
No, the whole thing, I'm going to go back to my thesis.
The whole thing is not to get him out.
It's to get Democrats in.
And you can't get Democrats in unless you have a bogeyman.
Push prop him up as a horrible guy and they can't get him out.
We can't get him out.
We don't have enough Democrats.
If you put more Democrats in, we'll get him out.
They'll put more Democrats in.
So the Democrats will be in and they still won't be able to get him out because we can't get him out because we just don't have enough Democrats and we should get more Democrats in.
We need to be a Democrat.
And by then it's 2020 and now they can say we couldn't get him out.
The only way to get him out is you've got to vote him out.
And here's Tom Hanks.
Yeah, Tom Hanks or...
Oprah.
Or Franken.
Yeah.
Franken in the underwear.
Well, they're not going to get him out.
It would ruin the whole scheme.
Amidst all this, a new report came out from the VIPs.
That's the group of former intelligence officers.
Did you hear about this report?
No, I don't know anything about this.
It's pretty detailed.
And it's specifically...
They did forensics on the DNC hack.
Then there must be three or four different articles and a long report titled Guccifer 2.0 Game Over Six Months In.
And what does the VIPs actually stand for?
It's like intelligence personnel.
I'll find it.
Anyway, they've done some forensics and they've determined that no way could this have been Russia.
Former NSA intelligence officers are saying there was no hack of the DNC system last year, but instead it was a leak.
And they claim hard evidence proves it.
Published this week in The Nation, the lengthy article details for the first time what the experts call solid evidence in the case.
Their results?
There was no hack of the Democratic National Committee system on July 5th last year.
Not by the Russians, not by anyone else.
Hard science now demonstrates it was a leak.
A download executed locally with a memory key or similarly portable data storage device.
I like RT's little insert of someone hammering on your keyboard.
portable data storage device.
After analyzing the transfer rate of the alleged hacked material, the experts found the transfer times of the files would simply be impossible without someone being actually in the DNC building.
According to the report on July 5th, 2016, 1,976 megabytes of data were downloaded from the DNC server.
The operation took 87 seconds.
This produces a transfer rate of 22.7 megabytes per second.
In 2016, no internet service provider would have had the speed capability to enable a hacker to download those files, further proving that it would be impossible for Grucifer to have run the so-called hacker.
From Romania, because the findings suggest there would have been delivery overheads, which would slow down the speed of a hack, even from the maximum achievable speeds.
The article states, timestamps in the metadata indicate the download occurred somewhere on the east coast of the United States, not Russia, Romania, or anywhere else outside of the eastern time zone.
So what their analysis further suggests is that Podesta, et al., made up Guccifer 2.0 as the Russian cover-up.
Didn't he actually have a back-and-forth one email with Guccifer 2.0?
I don't remember that.
I think maybe.
But they came up with Guccifer 2.0 as a cover.
Oh, that's a pretty good idea.
That's pretty advanced.
And I like that.
That makes sense to me.
It's pretty advanced for a Podesta.
Wasn't Guccifer 1.0 thrown in jail?
Yeah, he was jailed.
So they needed a second one.
They needed a tie-in, and then you just go get Guccifer 2.0.
Hey, I know.
All the kids, it's cool when they have a version 2.0.
I find it weird that WordPress allowed that blog to exist.
Yeah, yes, we've discussed that as odd for sure.
For sure.
So maybe there was something like that going on, or maybe some intelligence agency was doing it as a cover for somebody else.
Who knows?
But yeah, I mean, it is a good idea.
You do that kind of thing.
I mean, we discuss that on the show constantly.
Meanwhile, it's a mess at NSA, according to William Binney, who is the whistleblower who first brought us, was it Stellar Wind?
Is that the AT&T building?
I can't remember which.
I don't know if it was Binney or the other guy who did that one.
I know one of There's Drake, I think.
There's Drake, and there's Benny, and there's another guy.
He definitely wrote about the building on 2nd Street in San Francisco that just sucked up all the internet.
You think that was Benny?
I think it was Benny, yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Not Drake, okay.
Anyway, he was one of the heavy hitter.
Benny was the guy I think the FBI busted into his house and put a gun to his head.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah.
He was at SHA 2017.
Is that some kind of security hacker conference?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Well, here's what he said.
We did a Myers-Briggs study of personal traits of people.
There's your Myers-Briggs.
That's our favorite there.
That's how they test people at NSA, John.
We did a Myers-Briggs study of personal traits of people working at NSA in 1992 or something like that.
And it turned out that 85% of them were ISTJs.
So they're all introverts.
You know, it's like these are the people who like to work in their desks, you know.
I mean, mathematicians are that way.
They're very quiet people.
Give me a pencil.
I'll figure it out.
You know, I'm going to court.
Here's the answer.
You know, that's all they do.
But they're very easy to threaten.
Those are the kind of people you can easily threaten.
And so that's really what's been going on inside NSA. I mean, they have a program now called See Something, Say Something about your fellow workers.
Well, I mean, that's what the Stasi did.
They're picking up all the techniques from the Stasi and the KGB and the Gestapo and the SS. They just aren't getting violent yet that we know of.
If you see something, say something.
Now, NSA version.
I like that they're using that internally.
I don't know.
I don't know that Benny's that connected anymore that anyone even talks to him.
It's possible.
I mean, I think most organizations are always looking for having their employees turn each other in.
It's the best way.
It always works.
Always.
Well, it works sometimes in different ways in different companies.
There's a story, pretty well documented, that Disney operated this way, where they would find a guy, there was an example of some Imagineering, or it's one of the places in Florida, a guy sees it as one of his buddies working there, he's just a lazy bum, he's not doing anything.
And he just gets irked about this and turns the guy in.
He says, this guy's not doing anything.
He's not productive.
He's like goofing off.
He turns the guy in.
And as soon as he turns the guy in, the guy complaining is the one who gets fired.
Because the theory at Disney is that you want a homogenous team where they're doing anything or not.
But you don't want guys turning each other in.
You don't want this kind of guy in the company.
This is a guy you don't want.
And you're actually kind of that way, the way you manage, even though you don't realize it.
Oh?
Is that now seen as positive?
Well, to Disney, apparently it's very positive.
And look at Disney.
They're not a company going out of business.
See?
See?
There you go.
There you go.
And so the see something, say something thing, it may be a trap.
You're in the wrong company.
My advice to people working in a big company like that and you're not a manager, just shut up.
Just shut up, slave.
That's all you gotta do.
Shut up, slave!
Well, with that, John, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John C. USC stands for Choo Choo Dvorak.
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 and all the damage.
In the morning to the chatroom, noagendastream.com.
And in the morning to PlugMyDuck, who brought us the artwork for episode nine or five.
Four was a hard one.
We actually went back into the evergreens to pick this one up.
We thought it was appropriate.
Deep back there, you never find it.
Yeah, in light of the Google memo, we thought it was kind of funny.
Data Center, danger, men working.
And we appreciate the work that our artists do.
So please continue to bring us some of the best album artwork in the universe at noagendaartgenerator.com.
And before we get started with thanking some of our executive and associate executive producers today, John, how was the big meetup?
Yes, we'll talk about the meetup later.
I don't have all the donations for the meetup in this show, because they have to be compiled, and so they'll be on the next show, with the exception of two or three people who had birthdays.
We're going to talk about the meetup later?
Well, no, I mentioned the meetup.
We can talk about the meetup.
It was a great meetup.
Okay, great.
Now to thank our executive producers.
About 50 people.
Yeah.
And it was Patrick Kobold who'll get his full credits next show.
He organized a lot of cool stuff.
Well, he got the train ride.
He got 32 tickets to the ride, which we gave to the people who showed up, first come, first serve, and got a train ride.
It was up and down a slow-moving train.
And he also bought the tickets for the train museum for...
We had like 30 people lined up to go in.
And some people were already in there, and there's people coming later.
How nice of him.
Yes, so he bought 20.
I said, there's how many people?
I said, we get a discount.
We wanted to just have everyone pay as they went in, but it was going to take forever.
And they wouldn't do it.
So I said, we'll give you some.
You can take five in at a time.
How many of you got?
I said, 20.
And so, because of the way they were organized there, we had about 30.
And we just kind of all rambled in.
Yeah.
One, two, three, four, five, six, four.
Get in, get in, get in, get in.
Breaking the law.
Very good.
So we got in cheap.
And I saw that there were about, yeah, about 45 people I think were there and 50 pictures of my head on a stick.
But you had a very small head.
There's a lot of pictures on the face bag with my head.
Yeah, your head.
So who else was there?
Who else was there?
There's a lot of people there.
I mean, we have almost every...
I didn't know how many people we have from Sacramento, but we'll name them off.
Most of them gave some donations in the envelope as requested.
But the most interesting guy, although I didn't get his name...
He's actually listed today because he's got a birthday coming up.
We're getting off the Zephyr.
We had about 20 people on the Zephyr.
And so we're kind of, although there's more maybe in the back of the train, there's a huge train.
And so as we're getting off, we're walking out of the station and there's a guy there standing there, Amtrak conductor.
Uh-huh.
This is Dvorak?
Really?
Yeah, he knew I was going to take the Zephyr and he wanted to catch me so he could give a donation and get his birthday.
Oh, cool.
Cool.
Yeah, it was very cool.
Nice.
Wearing the outfit with the hat.
I should have asked somebody to get a hat.
There's a picture of you, too.
Oh, the train conductor?
Yeah, there's a picture of you on the back.
I'll send it to you.
Mr.
Conductor-itis, I believe.
Nice.
Anyway, no, it was a great meet-up.
I had a good time at the bar.
It looked like people were drinking army yuck.
Nobody was drinking army yuck that I know of.
Oh, I saw some posts.
Mostly people were drinking Lagunitas.
IPA seemed to be the most popular beer.
There was a lot.
It was just a good variety.
But the number of people from Sacramento area has kind of surprised me.
Well, I'm not surprised.
Our millennials are woke.
We have a lot of millennials.
I think it was the half-millennials, one-quarter middle-aged Types like you, and then one quarter older, like me.
And that was about the makeup.
And the millennials, I noticed this trend, and we talked about it over dinner.
The millennials, they all love the fact that we're talking about them, even though we get complaining emails once in a while.
But the logic, one of them says to me, but the logic is this, yeah, we love being talked about.
And then you guys do it.
We ridicule the millennials for one thing or another.
And he says, all millennials react the same way.
Wow, I'm glad I'm not like that.
Perfect.
Perfect.
We're not talking about them ever.
Well, that gives me some hope that the millennials showed up.
That's always good.
That's good.
Yeah, it was a lot of millennials.
I mean, it was actually an extreme number of millennials.
They're all coming for you.
It's the Bernie effect.
They love you.
Yeah, that's what it is.
All right, well, let's thank a few people that we do have on this list for show 955, starting with Stephen Draper.
And I believe, yeah, these people may have come in on the invitation to be an executive producer.
Stephen Draper, $333.
He's in the Army or something, I guess.
Some of these parts unknown.
Good day, Jancey.
He says, love your work.
Please keep it going.
By far the best political podcast ever.
On the net.
I request a de-douching because I've been...
Sorry.
Oh yeah, play it.
Sorry.
You've been de-douched.
It says because you've been listening to DH Unplugged for the past two years and just recently started listening to No Agenda.
I was hooked after the first listen, which is a recent phenomenon we like, episode 940.
Please feel free to throw in some karma as well.
Thanks.
You got it, man.
Thank you very much.
Parts Unknown.
You've got karma.
Foxtrot Papa Oscar.
Sir Roger Boots in Mechanicsville, Iowa, $333.
Thank you.
And he just says thanks, Sir Roger Boots.
A lot of 333s today.
What's going on with that?
It was put in the newsletter.
Ah, gotcha.
Okay.
It's the minimum executive producer donation.
That's actually called that.
Sir Corwin Underwood in Hamilton, Ohio, 333.
I'm working on my way up to Barron.
Love the show.
Gave up the good work.
And you would like to hear, stay woke.
Hillary, please don't eat me.
And two shots to the head.
Yeah, the don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
That's the one that I'm always messing up on.
We'll see.
My millennials!
Stay woke!
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
You've got karma.
I got it.
Then we have our last 333, Scott Moore.
Again, no location, but I have to see if he sent an email because I believe he did.
Scott.
Let's try Scott.
Scott Moore, Scott Moore.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the land.
There's his note.
Yep, I see it.
Gentlemen, I must say the flow and transitions on the show have been great over the past few episodes.
I even noticed it without Adam stopping to point it out.
I didn't even need to spike the ball.
Just looking for karma as while rummaging through my catch-all drawer in the kitchen, the reading on my meat thermometer was undeniable.
Pick attached, not concocted.
This 33 phenomenon is really creepy as it now seems to be everywhere.
I guess that's because I'm conscious about it.
I'm conscious about it.
Or perhaps I'm in the early stages of spook opting.
Have a good show.
How about Pastor Manning Threefer on this glorious Sunday?
Okay, we can do that.
A long-legged magnetic!
Otherwise you're going to have a flame coming out of your butthole!
Preacher, you won't be able to sit down!
That's a show-nuff money shot!
Woo, Jesus!
Woo, Lord!
Look at that!
That's a money shot!
Kenny Conway is a money shot.
Karma.
Manning.
Never disappointed.
Okay, I think we have another.
I've got to look another one up.
I was going to do that earlier.
Sorry, I didn't do it.
Eric Duderian?
Eric Duderian.
Yeah.
He did say something in, but the last note I have of him is from July 17th.
Oh, maybe I have something.
Dardarian.
He may not be.
He may have multiple emails I have to deal with here.
Let's see what have we got.
No, I don't think I have him.
No, I don't have Era.
Okay, well, if you've got something to tell us, Era, we will be glad to listen to this last check.
No, no.
I don't know what happened.
I have no idea.
Onward.
Anyway, he came in at $250.
We'll give him a Karma.
Don't give him Karma right now.
Give him Karma.
You've got Karma.
Daryl Suko in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada.
222.
222.
Pronounced Suko.
I bought a custom motorcycle seat for the comfort of my butt.
And I realized...
I realized I needed to pay for the comfort that the show has been giving to my brain.
He's got a butt comfort and he's a brain comfort.
That's right.
We are the equivalent to a motorcycle seat.
Yes, exactly.
Perfect.
He's a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Protecting your butt and your brain.
The No Agenda Show.
Andrew Wilson, 200 bucks in Australia.
Great show.
Job karma, please.
Thanks.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
And then finally we've got Ed Laboutier.
And I thought he was in Canada, but I guess he's somewhere in the U.S. And he says, you guys truly are the best podcast in the universe.
Emax rules.
That's our audience.
VI rules!
Stop!
Ah, yes.
That's the true civil war.
We have two civil wars.
Space...
Two spaces or tab, and Emacs versus VI. That's the only thing that really counts in this world.
Tab delimited.
Tab.
Tab or spaces.
That's all that counts.
Well, thank you very much, executive producers and associate executive producers.
And I guess, will you be thanking anybody from the meetup later on?
Yeah, I got three people to thank.
We'll be coming later, and we might have a request or two for some jingles.
And...
Yeah, but the next show will have the big list of people who contributed.
Great.
And I do have one or two stories I'll tell, though, after we...
Thank everybody profusely and tell them to hit people in the mouth.
Yes.
Thank you all so much.
And again, thanks to our executive and associate executive producers.
These are real credits.
You can use them anywhere.
The credits might make a difference in your life.
And it turns out that just putting it on LinkedIn seems to bring more eyeballs to that.
But you could also go to the Producers Guild of America.
Whatever.
You actually helped produce it and we appreciate it.
We'll be thanking more people who came in at $50 or above in the second donation segment.
Remember another show coming up on Thursday?
Dvorak.org.
Slash N-A. And for all of those who went out to the Trade Museum, thank you very much for propagating the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water! Water! Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
Yeah, it couldn't be any more coincidental, John.
You have your big train meetup, and I was a little worried about stuff going on there.
You know, it could have been very dangerous.
I didn't tell you.
I figured if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't be too worried.
I have the clip.
About Inspire Magazine?
No, no, I have a different clip.
Okay, why don't you play your clip first?
It's not a clip.
I'm just going to inform you of something.
Okay.
There will be clips because I'm early on it this time.
The latest Inspire magazine, which, as you know, is a beautifully produced PDF magazine put together by Al-Qaeda.
Published by the CIA, right?
Well, this always gives us an indication of where we have to look to and what's happening in the future.
The latest issue, excuse me, headlined, Train Derail Operations.
Oh.
Yes, that's right.
The Al-Qaeda's are now switching to derailing trains, subways and trains.
This is what it's going to be.
And remember our previous president saying...
Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city.
No racing to an airport.
And across the terminal, no delays, no sitting on the tarmac, no lost luggage, no taking off your shoes.
Ooh, yeah, yeah, sorry.
You're definitely going to be taking off your shoes at the train and at the subway.
At the subway.
This is how they do it.
This is how it's done.
So, just watch.
They've been screening trains in Europe for the longest time.
Although it's a pretty pathetic screen, I'll have to say.
Yeah, you just walk through a metal detector.
Kind of, yeah.
You have to put your bags through sometimes.
It's so inconsistent everywhere.
Well, here's the one.
Play the Joker.
This is the way I thought you were going to refer to.
Play this Joker's Suggests.
Joker's Suggests.
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
Well, a YouTube personality is now apologizing for his suggestion that North Korea should attack Sacramento.
Ha!
Grant Stinchfield hosts a show on the NRA website.
He's talked repeatedly about the seriousness of the North Korean threat.
Last night, he said, let's send a note to North Korea that Sacramento changed its name to Guam.
He later removed a tweet and told the Daily News, it was meant as a joke, I regretted, and what's going on with North Korea is no laughing matter.
Several Sacramento residents weren't laughing about it either.
And he goes on and on about a bunch of people in Sacramento going, oh no, they're going to bomb us because of this guy!
They're all in on this.
I have a couple of North Korea stories, a couple of clips.
You might want to just run through here for a second.
Okay.
First of all, the war, what this is really about, as we've deconstructed, China is saying, hey, we're about ready to go to war with India over this Bhutan region.
There are skirmishes.
There's video now of skirmishes of Chinese and Indian troops kind of like wrestling.
It's very odd.
They're not shooting at each other.
It's like, hey, hey, get out of here.
Well, they don't speak the same language.
And then they just wrestle with each other.
Make a time note.
This will come to a head.
Let me see, I think the Indians are now encroaching on what China, this is all about the chicken neck region.
You've got to take a look at the map to see what's really going on.
And I think more and more when I hear the President talk about, oh man, you don't want to know what we're going to do.
To me, now with this in mind, he's saying to China, look, get everything all straightened out.
Otherwise, you'll have the United States military on your border.
We're going to sit there on your border to take care of North Korea.
And obviously, they don't want that.
But the whole North Korea thing is, until Charlottesville was still blowing up, And a couple of good ones.
We'll start off with...
Because, of course, before we had Hitler come back in, we needed to compare the president to Kim Jong-un.
That was obviously much funnier.
That's the problem today.
When we talk about stable actors and people that we can count on in all of this, it's hard for me to believe that the people in Europe aren't looking at this situation today, and who are they more worried about?
That's actually an honest question in this time that we have.
The other thing that he doesn't, I think Donald Trump does, he has no concept of history.
You know, that's very interesting because I was just in Europe and people are very worried about Kim Jong-un and not about Donald Trump.
So I don't know where he comes up with that, but...
He's making it up.
Well, yeah, and that was MSNBC and, well...
And why would they be worried about North Korea and Europe?
We're going to send a missile over the poles?
John, remember, I was just there, and people are freaked out about it.
I'm just asking why.
Because they've been told to be afraid.
Hello?
Hello?
Theme of the show.
Ben, before you play the clip, I'm reminded of what was going around Twitter.
I don't know if you got a clip of it.
I couldn't find one.
But it was a big kind of a retweet bonanza over this comment that Brian Williams said.
Yes, I've got that.
I've got the clip.
You have the clip.
I'm leading up to it.
Okay, great.
See, if this show were pre-produced, then you wouldn't even ask this question.
Of course not.
Exactly.
But first...
By the way, by asking the questions, it adds a good, I don't know, 45 seconds to the show, so this is how we make it so damn long.
It's content.
It's content.
Brian Williams on MSNBC had Elizabeth Bumiller.
Is that the Washington D.C. bureau chief of the New York Times?
I don't know who she is.
Can you remember an era like this for the American newspaper and print journalism business?
No, not in my lifetime.
You know, as we all know, the president refers to us as the failing New York Times.
Of course.
But, you know, it's been...
I like him going, of course.
I'm not quite sure why he said that, but it was funny.
Well, of course he refers to you.
You are the failing New York Times.
You know, as we all know, the president refers to us as the failing New York Times.
Of course.
But, you know, it's been very good for the New York Times in one case because we feel a sort of renaissance of journalism.
Oh, renaissance in journalism, John.
Have you noticed this?
Are your former journalist friends talking about the renaissance?
We're retired.
Is there no renaissance?
Is there a renaissance of renaissance?
I don't know.
Maybe they're thinking that.
I don't see it.
You need to ask.
I need to know.
Because we feel a sort of renaissance of journalism, and it's focused us on the mission of journalism.
And also, there's just no lack of news.
I mean, this morning, I came to the office, and it's August in Washington.
The president's on vacation.
Congress is out.
There's always a certain scrounging for stories in August.
And by 4 o'clock this afternoon, we had our hands full.
Another unbelievable day.
Another unbelievable day!
Another unbelievable diet, the New York Times.
Here's what everyone was tweeting about.
Unfortunately, I don't have the lead in what he was saying before this highly clippable event.
Malcolm, our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on this subject so the talk isn't as free as it is.
That's right!
Why did he say that?
Did he mean to say something else?
I think he meant to say that.
Here's what I think the logic is.
Let's listen one more time.
Listen, 21 seconds.
Malcolm, our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on this subject so the talk isn't as free as it is about a preemptive or surgical military strike.
So, I don't understand.
We're not as free to speak as we typically would be about a potential preemptive military strike because it's our job to scare you.
Very convoluted.
I think he meant to say it's not our job to scare you.
That's what I think.
No, no, no.
No.
His job is to scare you.
No, I know what his job is.
I agree with that.
Well, his job is to scare people because the way I think he's seeing it is that they're not going to pay any attention unless they're being scared because they've given up on their own public.
The job is not to scare anybody.
The job is to inform people.
And if they want to be scared by the information, it's up to them.
That's the way I see the job.
No, I know what's happening here.
You know, Brian Williams is on MSNBC because he's a liar.
So he's decided not to lie anymore.
Malcolm, our job tonight actually is to scare people to death.
Okay.
And it's to scare people to death, by the way.
Yes, to death.
To death.
It's not just to scare people, it's to scare them to death.
What kind of a thing is that to say?
I don't know.
And that's not the job.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's very bizarre.
I find it very distressing that people should pay careful attention to that sort of thing, because that's what the media is doing right now.
Yes, they're sparing people to death.
Because the people who read the newspapers are typically, they're not the conservatives of the country who may be reading the Bible for all we know.
But it's pretty much anyone that still reads the newspaper, let's put it that way, still reads the newspaper or still watches network news, they tend to be kind of left of center.
And so you're just appealing to them.
I mean, the whole thing is like the same marketing thing that the networks do about the over 60s so they can sell them drugs.
They're not doing that as an accident.
Is it possible that this is just an example of the truth always wants to come out and just flooped out and he just didn't mean it?
I mean, there was another...
I do want to get back to North Korea.
He meant it.
I think you're right on both.
You're right on one and wrong on the other.
It was the truth coming out, and he did mean it.
Well, here's another example of this happening.
This is that douchebag former spook, Catholic in action, Philip Mudd, Oh, God.
Yeah.
Philip Mudd, former CIA guy, he's on with Jake Tapper and says this.
And I think other people should press him for a better answer.
What was your response, Philip Mudd?
A couple surprises.
Let me give you one bottom line.
As a former government official, government's going to kill this guy.
He defends Vladimir Putin.
Their State Department and CIA offers are coming home.
And at Langley and at Foggy Bottom, CIA and state, they're saying, this is how you defend us?
That's pretty extreme.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah, listen again.
Are you talking about Trump?
Yeah, listen again.
And I think other people should press him for a better answer.
What was your response, Phil Mudd?
A couple surprises.
Let me give you one bottom line.
As a former government official, government's going to kill this guy.
He defends Vladimir Putin.
Their State Department and CIA offers are coming home.
And at Langley and at Foggy Bottom, CIA and State, they're saying, this is how you defend us?
So this is what happened.
Jake, yeah, we're in commercial right now, but we feel that maybe Oh, okay.
Phil, before, I mean, I want to ask you a question, but Phil, just to reiterate, obviously, when you're talking about killing, you're using that as a metaphor.
What I'm saying is, people talk about the deep state.
When you disrespect government officials who've done 20 or 30 years, they're going to say, really?
Vladimir Putin sends officers home and you support him before you support him?
I just want to underline, I just want to make sure he didn't mean to actually kill him.
And this was based on Trump's joke about cutting the payroll?
Yep.
So these guys are brain dead, is what you're saying with this clip.
The truth wants to come out.
And he's saying that everyone is going to hate the president and they will kill him.
Whether that is a metaphor...
I'm not quite sure what that would mean in a metaphorical sense.
It's not a metaphor.
Well, you kill him, he means you fire him, you get him voted out.
There's all kinds of ways of making it kind of a metaphor.
Yeah, isn't that great?
I'll give you a clip of the day.
No, I'll take it.
And then, final on North Korea, this blew me away, Thomas Friedman.
Although he rambles, kind of said what we've been saying and even Uncle Don says about North Korea.
Surprising!
It seems to me the only rational long-term strategy of the United States is to, one, deter the North Koreans by our own anti-missile systems.
We're doing that.
We've been doing that.
We're continuing to do that effectively.
And to tighten the economic sanctions around them.
So they will stop testing these missiles and ultimately agree to a denuclearization deal.
I think the best way to go about doing that is by putting on the table a very clear American peace offer to the North Koreans.
If you fully denuclearize and end your missile program, we will offer you full peace, full diplomacy, full engagement, economic aid, and end to the Korean War.
If you don't, we will tighten the economic sanctions.
And by putting this plan on the table, the entire world would see who is the person who is actually threatening the stability of the Korean Peninsula.
That then would keep Russia, China, the Japanese, and the South Koreans all on our side, which will make the sanctions even stronger.
That's how you really mess up the North Koreans.
I like part of what he's saying.
I wonder why he's saying it, because he's a stooge.
Yeah.
And so that must be the word coming down that they're going to have to do this.
This may be what happens.
I mean, Trump might end up being known as the guy who reunites the two Koreas.
But he has to give the credit to Kim Jong-un, according to my thesis.
But that would be such an egomaniac.
It'd be very hard for him.
Very hard.
Well, he could meet.
Here's what he has to do.
Take it a step further.
He has to meet with Kim Jong-un.
That's all there is to it.
And then he can charm.
They can charm each other as best they can.
And then they can do a handshake together and, you know, end everything.
It would be great.
Every president has refused to To go.
Do this, even though the opportunity is there.
They just refuse to pick up.
I don't know why, because it's like the Cuba thing.
When Obama opened up Cuba, everyone's...
When, in fact, it should have been done 20 years ago, but no one had the guts to do it.
Right.
Right.
Well, I like what you're saying about this is what's coming down.
Why did he say it?
I'm sure we'll see that unfold.
I'm talking about why did anyone say something.
I'm wondering why this particular story rolled out when you listen to it carefully.
This is the big deal of this jogger is running along in London and some woman is standing and waiting for a bus and he pushes her into the path of the bus and almost kills her.
So let's play this story.
This is the newest update.
Thank you.
In London tonight, an arrest making global headlines after this scene on a bridge.
A jogger pushes a woman right into that bus.
It was all caught on surveillance footage.
London police arresting an American investment banker.
Tonight he is out, but his lawyer says they had the wrong man.
Here's ABC's James Longman.
It's the viral video shocking the internet.
A jogger appears to push a woman in front of a London bus.
Look again at the man in the grey shirt.
He runs along the sidewalk straight into a woman walking the other way.
She falls into the road, the bus swerving to miss her just inches from her head.
If it hadn't been for very good reflexes on the part of the bus driver or the level of force was such to push her even further into the road, almost certainly this could have ended in a fatality.
Tips pouring in to police who confirmed they made an arrest Thursday in that May 5th incident.
And tonight, attorneys for Eric Belkist, an American businessman, confirming he was arrested but insisting Belkist is not the jogger, writing in a statement, our client has been wrongly implicated in this matter.
He categorically denies being the individual concerned and has irrefutable proof that he was in the United States at the time of the incident.
Attorneys for Belkis not yet saying what that irrefutable proof might be.
The police have confirmed they've released the man they arrested and no charges have yet been brought in this case.
Cecilia.
OK, James, thank you.
Back here at home.
OK, so what's the deal with this story then?
Well, why has this guy been besmirched when the police let him go?
He obviously had some evidence.
They would have kept him or sent him out on bail or something.
They didn't arrest him.
So He gets picked up, I guess.
I guess he's in the UK now.
And he says, I wasn't even in the country.
And then he has probably receipts from a ticket or who knows what he had.
But then the police say, okay, go home.
So why are they running this story at all?
It's a non-story.
This is a non-story that ended up besmirching this guy.
They named it.
They didn't have to name him.
Something's fishy about this story and this guy, Belquist, Because this is not a normal way you do these stories.
You just don't do it.
The guy wasn't arrested.
He wasn't detained.
He was released.
So how's it a story?
I don't know.
I don't know.
You heard the woman from the New York Times.
It's hard to create the news every day.
Especially in August.
And by the way, this was not covered on the other networks that I know of.
This is off of ABC. James Alex Fields Jr., now according to the New York Times, is indeed the driver.
Boy, they got a poster child now.
Oh yeah, that driver?
Oh yeah, they got a poster child.
Heroes welcome.
Give him a ticker tape parade.
He did a good job.
Must have been something to see.
My goodness.
Holy crap!
What crap?
No, I'm talking about the driver.
Yeah, let's see.
Well, you're talking about the driver.
I'm talking about the bus driver.
No, I'm talking about the driver in Charlottesville.
Oh, the Charlottesville driver.
Oh, okay.
What is he, alt-right?
Oh, that was great.
Say no more.
Well, the New York Times does one of their famous, what we know about James Alex Fields, driver charged in Charlottesville killing.
They got a great picture of him with his brown cockies on.
In Charlottesville in his white shirt than his, you know, the haircut.
Oh, he's got a Nazi haircut.
Yeah, he's got a Nazi haircut.
Background.
Mr.
Fields, 20, was born in Kentucky.
He was living with his mother until five or six months ago.
This is great.
This guy is perfect.
Follows the script.
It did move to his own apartment.
Mr.
Fields' father died before he was born, so fatherless.
Perfect.
Oh, there you go.
Yes.
Mrs.
Fields' mom.
Bigger Hitler.
His aunt, Pamfield, said that he was a very quiet little boy.
He kept to himself a lot.
He had some trouble in school making friends.
By the way, I get accused of being alt-right now, in case you hadn't noticed.
Alt-right light or something they call you.
Yeah, and what's interesting is people who listen to the show, some people are very upset that I'm going to be a guest hosting on Infowars on Wednesday.
I have an anecdote about that.
And the reason, and what I fail to understand is...
You are promoting the biggest fake news alt-right outlet in the world.
No, I'm promoting the No Agenda show, and I'm not going to be sitting there reading news stories.
I'm going to be interviewing people of interest.
We've lined up Charles Ortel, I think, is coming on.
We're going to get some interesting people to talk to.
I'm not going to do what Jones does.
He's going to sit there and rant and rave.
So I'm sitting around the table at the bar with a couple of guys in a group, and they're very happy.
One guy, this is great.
It's great that Adam's going to do this show on Wednesday.
And I said, yeah, it'll be a lot of fun.
And the other guy says, I don't know.
I think Adam could actually take over the show.
I think Jones could be out.
Well, Jones is not going to be there.
It's just me.
No, I'm just saying.
It's what he said.
I'm just telling you what they said.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
And then the third guy chimes in.
He says, Adam couldn't take over that show.
The only reason people listen to Alex Jones is to hear those crazy rants.
They're great.
That's what I said.
I said, yeah, that's exactly right.
Adam can't do that.
No, I'm not going to do that.
He can't go on fire and make these crazy screaming rants.
It's just not his style.
No.
And the guys all agreed.
When the guys said that, they all agreed.
Yeah, you're right.
That's the reason you listen to Alex Jones.
Yeah, for the crazy stuff.
Yeah.
I think, generally speaking, most people thought it was fantastic.
No, I disagree.
You had the one guy.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm telling you, the group that was at the meetup, the people that actually cared about the show.
Sure, okay.
I understand.
I'm just saying, in general, I'm getting a lot of, what would people call it?
Attacks.
Yes, I'm being attacked.
I'm being attacked on Twitter.
I think I got one of those notes.
I haven't seen the Twitter stuff, but I got one of those notes, and the guy was very concerned.
Yeah, I saw that one.
You guys are going to lose the audience if you continue on this path.
Maybe.
Could be.
We'll see.
We'll find out.
One way to find out.
Do it.
And besides, the way I see it is it's Adam taking over the show to get a new listener base.
A lot of people come over from Alex Jones and start listening to Noah Jenner and it makes them feel a lot better.
We had a number of people at the meetup Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, that's good.
I think that's our general audience.
I think that's why people come to these meetups.
They, you know, want to say at least thank us.
Yeah, at the meetups for sure.
But the force is very powerful, John.
Very, very powerful.
And, you know, you do anything that is not on message and you are deemed, that's the new swear word, you know, alt-right.
Oh, it's just alt-right.
And remember, this started years ago.
We've got to come up with a counter name for alt-right.
Fault-right is my new one.
Fault-right.
Alt-right.
Salt-right.
No.
Carp-right.
Right.
Alt-right.
Control-alt-right.
How about that one?
The control-alt-right.
Yeah.
Control-alt-right.
Yeah.
Just throwing that in a lot.
Well, with what you said, I have to play a couple of clips now.
Okay.
Because there's some, I think demons have been released.
Demons have been released?
That's the only explanation I can have for these incidents.
Okay.
Let's start with this one.
This is the unexplained hospital incident.
Thank you.
Now to another story we're following.
Many questions waiting to be answered this evening about what caused a mysterious illness to spread inside a New Hampshire hospital today.
The emergency forcing many patients and staffers to suddenly have to evacuate.
We get details from NBC's Ann Thompson.
A New Hampshire hospital where people seek help today needed help.
In the main operating room, some staffers became nauseous in two different waves this morning.
Dizziness, nausea, vomiting.
So all low acuity symptoms that they were feeling.
The lawn turned into an improvised triage area as firefighters evacuated and closed the operating room and the emergency room above it while searching for the cause of the trouble.
With no evidence of a liquid spill, officials suspected a gas.
We've tested the area for several things, and the chemical, and it's all come back completely negative so far.
Obviously, the rumor got out it's anesthesia gas.
We don't know that.
We don't know that there's a leak.
Our meters would have picked up carbon dioxide, and we found zero.
Fire officials called in the state hazmat team as neighboring communities rushed to help.
There's a lot of people from a lot of different towns coming to help get patients out, which I think is really great.
A dozen staff members were taken to area hospitals.
None of the ailments were life-threatening.
Others went home and their symptoms quickly subsided.
Just what was in the air tonight is still a mystery.
Ann Thompson, NBC News, New York.
Wow.
The demons.
Demons.
Demons are out.
We're going to gas you.
Now, they tried to fly out with some of these demons, and I guess that they had to turn the planes around to play the JetBlue clip.
Oh, my God.
You're on to something here, John.
Next to the trouble in the air, two flights making unexpected landings within a few hours of each other, both of them JetBlue, and both because crew members complained of feeling sick, possibly because of fumes in the cabin.
ABC's Gio Benitez has more.
Tonight, mystery aboard two JetBlue flights diverted on the same day.
A flight from Boston to San Diego landing in Buffalo.
Firefighters boarding the plane.
Two flight attendants and a pilot were taken to the hospital.
Video shows one of them getting oxygen in the terminal.
Some passengers reported headaches.
It was really traumatic and Anxiety riddled and terrifying.
In South Florida, another strange odor forcing a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Barbados to make a U-turn.
Three flight attendants complaining of headaches.
They were all treated on site.
And Cecilia, it's still not clear what caused the problems on both of these flights, but passengers made it to their destinations and JetBlue is investigating.
Cecilia?
A real mystery there.
Okay, Geo.
Wow.
Now, on your Alex Jones show, they did a whole show once on Hillary smelling like a demon.
Excuse me, would you mind refraining from saying on your Alex Jones show?
Don't make the demon come out and make you nauseous, John.
I just thought those were weird stories.
Those are weird stories.
And I continue to receive notes from mechanics who are all on board with, oh yes, I've heard too from the Ford Motor Company that the problem is with the aftermarket add-ons on these police vehicles.
That's why carbon monoxide is slipping in.
Yet, on the other hand, I've got a lot of people with other Ford engines and other vehicles saying they have manifold and other exhaust issues on these motors, on these engines.
I don't know why they're putting this off.
It's not going to be good for the Ford stock.
I have one last demon story.
I've been looking at the Ford stock.
It's about $10.
And it did drop like a dollar on Friday.
But the one that's really annoying is Narcan.
Narcan, turns out, is a tradable stock.
And it doubled in the past week alone.
Went from $10 to over $20.
We are idiots.
Well, you're the one that said it wasn't tradable, so I never did any more research.
I know!
I'm an idiot!
I can't believe it.
But it's on track to do $28, so...
It'll probably go up and down.
Actually, the sky's the limit, it seems to me, with that.
Maybe it's still a good deal at $20.
Well, the Narcan stuff, just to transition briefly for a second, a lot of interesting feedback about this.
And most people say, are you...
First of all, again, let me just bring this up.
I have one of our no-agenda junkies.
Hold on.
I love our No Agenda Junkies.
They're so honest.
Let me just reiterate about these Lazarus parties, because that's what we were talking about.
I think we early on said maybe this is still some kind of promotion.
For Narcan, let me see.
Shoot, I can't find that particular one.
Well, again, what was reiterated is, believe me, there is no junkie in their right mind who would actually...
Right, I saw that note.
But a lot of people said, you know that the remake of Flatliners is coming up.
Oh, now you're talking.
I think it's coming out at the end of the month.
The Flatliners is exactly this, being dead, being brought back from the dead.
They don't do it with heroin, as far as I know, in the movie.
That's beside the point.
I think it is a movie plug.
That's a very good catch, whoever came up with that.
A number of people.
We haven't been doing enough of that, by the way.
Well, luckily people have their no agenda thinking hats on, and they're coming up with this stuff.
Let me get back to the demons.
We have one last demon, which may or may not be a demon.
This could also be the CIA, which may or may not be run by demons.
We don't know.
But this is the Cuban Sound Incident update.
Ah, yes, that was a good one, wasn't it?
Oh, wait, I can't start the clip.
The bizarre incidents beginning last October left a group of U.S. diplomats with severe hearing loss, blamed on what one official says could have been a surveillance device, deployed inside or outside the American's Havana residences, which are all owned by Cuba's government.
Several U.S. agencies, the CIA, FBI, and State Department's Diplomatic Security Service are all investigating.
We don't know exactly where this came from, okay?
We can't blame any one individual or our country at this point yet.
An investigation is underway.
We take that very seriously.
Canada also says some of its diplomats in Havana also suffered symptoms.
In Havana, a Cuban newscaster says the government is investigating and, quote, Cuba has never nor would it ever allow that the Cuban territory be used for any action against accredited diplomatic agents or their families.
So who's responsible?
Perhaps a third country.
Some suggest possibly even Russia, where there has been a surge of harassment and outright attacks against U.S. I personally think it was an accident, a surveillance attempt.
I do not think the Cubans would attack us physically like that, especially given the timing.
The U.S. has already expelled two Cuban diplomats from Washington because of the unexplained illnesses in Havana.
Only a first step depending on the investigation.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington.
Wait a minute.
I didn't know that the two diplomats have been expelled.
That means they know something.
I don't know what the deal is with those two diplomats.
Well, let's think about this for a second.
If we tie them all together, what you're doing right here, which I'm okay with, we have hospital, airplanes, embassy.
That could be an interesting test to see if this technology works in certain scenarios.
We need to have airplanes, for sure.
Hospital, yeah, possibly.
And embassy, for sure.
Well, the CIA guy was kind of enlightening when he said that, you know, I mean, there's no logical reason it was Cuba, but...
Maybe testing some gear?
Yes, testing.
Some remote listening stuff?
Oh, you mean it was remote listening and it backfired?
Like, oh, I put the red on the black one.
Oops, sorry.
Well, it happened too many times.
It happened to the U.S. Embassy.
It happened to the Canadian Embassy.
And apparently some Cuban office had the same problem.
And I don't understand where you can't stuff your ears with something.
How about this alt-wrong?
I think that we've got it.
Alt-wrong.
Alt-wrong.
Instead of alt-right.
No.
It could be demons.
I don't think it's demons, John.
But I don't know.
I'm going to look into this.
Maybe one of our guys can shed some light on it.
The way the CIA guy, matter-of-factly...
Surveillance gear gone wrong.
Why would he say that, unless it was something that could go wrong?
I don't understand how surveillance could go wrong.
What are you doing...
What are you doing?
It may be some very advanced Doppler thing where they're sending a signal into an office and it's like radar.
What comes back is that you can extract the radar information and extract a conversation.
I mean, something crazy?
Because they've got all these crazy ideas.
They've got the little red dot they can put on a big pane of glass.
And just so you know, you still laugh at me when I talk about the earthquake machine.
I mean, this is in the same vein.
It is totally in the same vein.
It's just some crazy technology they may be working on, and it turns out they damage hearing, and they're going to pull back on it.
Shh!
Don't say anything.
It's sued.
Making guys deaf.
Hmm.
I find it interesting that two diplomats have been expelled.
That means somebody knows something, or at least they're putting...
In the story, it was tied into this event.
Yeah, they tied it in, but it may have been a quid pro quo, or just Trump's...
I don't know who's even running this diplomats in and out of...
I guess it'd have to be Tillerson.
He's the head of the operation, but...
Well, speaking of spy stuff, I came across a memorandum from Department of the Army, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, August 2nd, 2017.
Subject, discontinue use of Dajian Innovation, DJI Corporation, unmanned aircraft systems.
Do you know the Dajian Innovation Corporation?
Never heard of them.
DJI. Well, it's a Chinese company.
Okay.
References.
A. Army Research Laboratory report DJI UAS technology threat and user vulnerabilities.
That's classified.
I don't have a copy of that.
Navy Memorandum operational risks with regard to DJI family of products.
Background, DJI unmanned aircraft system products are the most widely used non-program of record commercial off-the-shelf UAS, that's unmanned aerial surveillance, employed by the Army.
The Army Aviation Engineering Director has issued over 300 separate airworthiness releases for DJI products in support of multiple organizations with a variety of mission sets.
Due to increased awareness of cyber vulnerabilities associated with DJI products, it is directed that the U.S. Army halt use of all DJI products.
This guidance applies to all DJI UAS and any system that employs electrical components or software including but not limited to flight computers, cameras, radios, batteries, speed controllers, GPS units, handheld control stations, etc.
The reason why?
They are sending stuff back home.
They're phoning home.
We're going to do all the mapping.
It's like Facebook.
Yeah, exactly.
You put your details in.
You personally put all your details of your whole life into Facebook.
And then the CIA can just look you up.
Yep.
Yeah.
If you're going to have a gear over here, we do the same thing.
Yeah.
But I just thought it was interesting.
And that, to me, is a story.
That's a better story than some of this stuff.
That's a story.
Well, you bring up Facebook.
There is a new study done by...
Now, this is published in Science Direct Behavioral Brain Research.
That is a respected journal, I believe.
You don't know what's respected these days.
Nope.
A study found a link between using Facebook specifically and the little gray cells in your brain.
What does it do to them?
I'm sorry?
What does it do?
What does it do to them?
Oh, well, what do you think?
Can't be good.
No.
Or we wouldn't be talking about it.
The April 2017 study found that people who frequently check Facebook on their smartphones, because that's what the study was, have less gray matter in the part of the brain's nucleus accumbens thought to be its reward center.
So you have less grey matter, less cells, the more you use face bag in your reward center, which is odd to me because I thought that it would actually increase the reward because you're exercising it the whole time.
Um...
Let's see.
We were able to demonstrate that the nucleus accumbens, a central region of the seeking system, others call it the reward system, plays an important role in understanding Facebook usage on smartphones.
In short, the lower the gray matter volume in this area, the higher Facebook usage frequency could be observed.
So it's correlation, maybe not causation.
But they did this with, what is their N? N number 62 participants on their smartphones.
Five weeks.
And that's when they did MRIs on them.
In five weeks?
They can see a difference?
Yes, in five weeks.
Yep.
I'm skeptical.
I'm skeptical.
Okay.
Because those people are probably using Facebook for the last five years.
Right, but they saw a reduction during the five weeks.
I mean, they must have no brain left by now.
Yeah.
It's just a puny little pea.
There's nothing left of it.
I think that's noteworthy.
Yeah, we'll put that one aside.
Yeah.
We'll see if more research comes up.
I'm interested to see if that happens.
Well, it'll be suppressed by the billionaire that runs Facebook.
You mean our next president?
Our next president.
This is the time that this stuff gets suppressed.
You know, when it comes out, then you never hear about it again.
Exactly.
We have witnessed that for decades.
Well, let's talk about suppressed news because I have come under fire.
Once again, it's amazing how it works.
Curry, you're wrong.
You're wrong.
You got duped.
You got duped, man.
You're smoking too much weed.
You're wrong about the Queen and William and Charles.
You are wrong, Curry!
It was your story!
Yeah, it was.
I will admit that the story does not have, it does have, it misses certain credibilities.
And Snopes says it's wrong, so thus it's wrong.
We have an offline copy of Snopes, by the way.
We got a 5 gigabyte copy of all of Snopes.
Well, thank you whoever did that.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
Very good idea.
Yeah, we got that.
5 gigs?
That's it?
It's 5 gigs, yeah.
Oh my god.
That's not much.
Anyway, I guess it's mostly text.
Wouldn't be much.
I mentioned this problem in the newsletter.
If anyone had bothered to read it, they would have noticed that I had discussed this instead of bitching at you.
And they would have had the link to the San Jose Mercury story, which is linked in the newsletter, to what I consider is the genesis of all this.
And I believe that the genesis, that reporter that did the news story in the Mercury, is a very good investigative reporter.
She's not a slouch.
And so, okay, right now, because I got a number of people on Twitter saying, you know, that is bullcrap.
And I'll be waiting for Charles to be inaugurated.
So I was thinking about this, because I discussed this again, another one of these things at the meetup.
And I said, I don't think, I didn't mention it on the show, but I'm guessing that before Charles gets inaugurated, they're going to kill him.
That seems to be the way they do things over there.
It's the monarchy.
Yeah, you put that in the book.
Well, it's not just the monarchy, but yeah.
Hmm.
And so we'll see.
We'll see if he gets crowned and all the rest of it.
Yeah, I'll eat my words, but I'm going to...
So you think he might get killed before any coronation would take place?
If the queen dies.
Yeah.
She is the one, one of the real bosses behind she and the royal family.
But she's just ceremonial.
Yeah, right.
Tell that to the budget.
Yeah.
Hello, Budget.
This is your ceremonial sefter speaking.
Probably could get MI5 to do it, but it would be one of those things.
If I was writing this as a fictional thing, I'd be, yes, but make sure.
I don't want to see him dead until after I'm dead.
So that would be the trigger.
Oh, right.
Trigger, you know, don't kill him.
Well, okay, but how about this?
How could she assure that it actually happened?
Because I watch a lot of these monarchy-type series and stuff.
I like it.
I like watching it.
I see how, you know, The Crown, I watched all that.
I find it hard to believe that she would trust anyone to kill him.
Than not, you know, actually be able to see the results of it, see that it happened.
I don't think she...
Well, that's a good point.
But I don't think she's that bloodthirsty.
I mean, she's...
You know, I mean, I don't know.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see.
There's a ways to go.
She's probably got another 10 years to live.
I don't know about that.
He'll be 78.
He's already 68.
I mean, he's too old to be the king anyway.
But look, the queen is tired.
This is like the queen.
The queen is like the Polish pope who went for like 100.
It's unbelievable how some people can just keep living when they're surrounded by doctors.
Now, she's tired.
I don't know if she's tired.
I know the old man is tired.
Philip decided to retire, so he did retire, but he's like 96.
Yeah.
And he's on his last legs, apparently.
That's what he likes to say.
I think that, like your thesis, it fits with the royal family.
It fits with the House of Windsor.
It fits with the lineage of the royal family.
But I think it would have to happen sooner rather than later because this is actually the stuff that tears apart the fabric of a society in the UK. My friends in the UK are more Republicans than anything, as in they like a republic and not a monarchy.
And, you know, but yet they're all crazy about it.
You know, they're texting, oh, you've got to watch this.
Oh, they can, Camilla and Charles can never take the throne.
Like, who gives a crap?
Well, they do.
So this will fester too long, and something has to be done before then.
And let's just think about how.
Small plane.
Small plane.
Well, isn't Charles, does he do anything like the kids, like flying planes or anything, military stuff?
Does he do any of that?
He might.
I don't know that he does.
How about this?
I think Polo plays Polo.
How about a Polo accident?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm thinking a mallet to the head.
A mallet to the head.
Something like that.
Something like that.
Or, now if we get rid of Camilla, then can Charles, is he still a viable candidate?
No, Camilla's got nothing to do with it.
She has everything to do with it.
No, no.
Well, she has everything to do with everybody hating him, but I don't think she has anything to do with him being a candidate or not a candidate.
How about Fox Hunt?
That's another way.
Oh, sorry.
Fox Hunt accidental shooting.
I don't think he goes on those things.
It doesn't do much more than Garden, from what I can tell.
Ah.
Infection.
MRSA. Exactly, MRSA. Okay.
Zika.
That would be a cue.
No, no, that'll never happen.
That'll never happen.
Australian government is ratcheting up the war on cash.
They have a task force, the Black Economy Task Force.
They're doing the same that everyone is doing.
Oh, we have black money in the economy, drug money.
We have to get rid of it.
This is the Black Economy Task Force chair, Michael Andrew, saying consumers are part of the problem.
And the government will punish those that purchase products or services with cash.
We intend to examine the merits of consumer-focused sanctions, including the loss of consumer protections, warranties, and legal rights for people who make cash payments without obtaining a valid receipt.
This is simply not a matter of imposing new penalties, but part of a wider cultural change agenda.
Damn.
Let me tell you how that works out.
In the Netherlands, this was Thursday, there was a nationwide outage of the payment network.
That only lasted 15 minutes, but...
Yeah, test, test.
Test, thank you.
It only lasted 15 minutes.
People couldn't pay in supermarkets.
You know, there's supermarkets, the Albert Heijn in the Netherlands.
Most of them don't take cash at all anymore.
Sometimes they have one cash register that is cash only.
But restaurants, no one could pay for anything.
There were huge lines everywhere in front of the ATM. This is just 15 minutes.
15 minutes.
Imagine.
And it wouldn't be something that isn't at issue anyway, because people are always bitching them, oh, the grid, the grid, the grid's going to go down, the grid.
And you can't put that together.
You can't put this grid, fear of the grid failing.
The grid, fear of cyber-hacking.
But you can't put that together with the cashless society and make it work.
No.
No.
You can't make those two arguments.
No.
Or an argument for electric vehicles, for that matter, because it is kind of the argument I made specifically about that, about the grid.
But this is...
And people still...
It's very interesting.
They just don't see the issue.
They don't see, oh, everything just kind of works.
But yet, British Airways completely fell down due to an IT issue.
Completely.
Remember they had people sleeping in airports for a week because they couldn't get home.
This is a technological society and its future.
It's very bleak.
Sleeping in airports is your future.
That is pretty much what it's going to be.
Innovation will drive productivity growth in Australia.
That is why the government's $1.1 billion, that's about, what is that, $7,000 in America, National Innovation and Science Agenda, the NISA, is designed to enable Australia to take full advantage of new economic opportunities.
The government is committed to establishing Australia as a leading global financial technology hub and is announcing a new package that aims to position our local FinTech industry as a world leader.
So this is part of a marketing effort as well.
FinTech.
FinTech.
So I'm not quite sure where this leaves Bitcoin, but it's in the mix somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By the way, apparently there's already a Beanie Coin.
That's what someone mentioned.
Yeah, so we'll have to call it something else.
But we'll just call it Beanie Coin for now, just as a working title.
It's a working title.
I don't know what it's going to be.
That's the final.
It's not the final.
No, it's not.
But by no means is it the final.
This was a story in USA Today.
I like the way they presented this.
Again, this is something that we were talking about.
I was certainly talking about 10 years ago.
People looking at me like, oh, it's crazy.
It'll never happen.
You're a nut job.
You're a crackpot.
All true.
You will be chipped.
It's just a matter of time.
That's what analysts and educators tell us.
But don't worry.
What happened in Wisconsin is not about to go mass market yet.
A small firm recently embedded microchips in their employees as a way to bypass company badges and corporate logons and to get attention for their cafeteria kiosks which are available on a cashless payment plan like Apple Pay.
Chip proponents tell us that having a chip in the hand is better than grabbing for the cell phone because you can never forget it and you can't lose it and you have the capability to communicate with machines in a way we couldn't before.
Others just think that having a corporation stick a chip in this hand is kind of creepy, even if the companies say that it can't track you and that your information is private.
For me, it's a no, mostly because I'm concerned about what kind of health effects it might have.
For those reasons, analysts we spoke to say that workers at IBM, Facebook, Federal Express, Microsoft, The Gap, and so many other corporate giants have nothing to worry about.
They won't get chipped soon.
Consumers first, corporations second, which is why the analysts say, it's going to be a while, but you will be chipped.
Progress, right?
Yeah.
For USA Today in Los Angeles, I'm Jefferson Graham.
Woo!
All right, USA Today.
Because we ran that exact story two shows ago.
Not from USA Today.
No.
And I wrote a column about it.
Oh, I didn't see that.
What did you write?
What was your thesis?
I said that we're all going to get shipped.
So you're now the crackpot.
If you read the story, the logic is there.
I don't see the logic.
It seems like a security risk.
Whereas you can do a lot of things with your phone, like put it in a safe, for instance.
You have it stolen.
Whatever.
But to have your hand just flapping around, that's easy.
You've got to read the article.
Give us a synopsis.
Well, synopsis is you're going to get chipped because the logic is there and they're going to insist on it.
What is the logic?
Please explain.
The logic is as easy as more...
And the public can be convinced of this.
It's so much easier just to put the little chip there in between your thumb and your forefinger in that little spot there.
Yeah.
And people can wander around.
They can have all this stuff.
They can't be robbed unless you're going to chop the guy's hand off.
Nobody's going to do that.
And...
It's just, you know, you read it.
It's just like I've given you the summary.
The summary is you're going to get chipped.
Yeah.
I'm not going to agree to it.
You probably won't, but you'll be in the minority.
Of course I won't.
If you already said yourself at the beginning of the show that it's hopeless and all these people are suckers and they're going to do all these bad things, they're going to get chipped by your logic.
I think what the chip will do is it will replace a number of things.
And again, I'm just waiting for Apple.
This would be perfect for them to tie it into the phone.
And I've been thinking about that, how they could launch it.
That's your comment when we ran that same clip a while ago about Apple's the one that's going to push this.
And I used that logic in the column.
Good.
I think Apple Pay is part of it.
But also, maybe just having...
You will have your ID. It could be like a hash string, like a Bitcoin address.
And that will just be your identification.
That's really where I think it will go.
Blockchain, people!
Is identification purposes.
But identification to authorities.
Yeah, that makes sense to me.
And it'll be, you know what?
Stop.
I take it back.
T-Mobile might push this.
That would be easier.
They're big on concerts and all kinds of benefits for their customers.
So, you know, you get the chip, your T-Mobile chip, which also, of course, can find your phone, because, you know, we're going to lose your phone, so you can find your phone.
But you can use it then to get into concerts and other cool little benefits.
Stuff like that, I think, is where people would do it.
And if it doesn't hurt, if it's just quick, you know, they have a lot of stories.
This story was a lot about showing if it hurt, how quick it was, and, oh, I'm a little worried about the health concerns.
There was not a single line in that story about privacy concerns.
Oh, no.
There are no privacy concerns.
Well, I'm talking about to segue into maybe the clip before our little break.
I want to play.
I don't think we should be playing this clip, but I'm going to be playing this clip anyway.
This is the groping Taylor Swift clip.
We're following some breaking news right now.
Let's get this update from NBC's Lucy Cavanagh.
Good evening.
Hugs in a Denver courtroom this evening after a federal judge ruled pop star Taylor Swift cannot be held liable for a radio DJ losing his job.
The DJ sued Swift claiming she had him fired for telling his bosses he groped her at a concert meet and greet four years ago.
That DJ David Mueller denies groping Swift and is suing for up to $3 million.
The case continues against other defendants.
The jury will hear closing arguments on Monday.
Lester will be back after a short groping.
Sorry, short what?
I hope.
It sounds like after a short groping session is what I thought she was going to say.
That's what she said, yeah, because that's what I edited.
Yeah, I know.
I was being funny.
It didn't work out as I'd hoped.
Okay.
I did get your attention.
Yeah.
But it wasn't quite as good.
Well, what got my attention, because I didn't read this story.
I didn't really follow what I saw.
Oh, this story is so stupid.
But what I saw, what I did see is that apparently there was an eyewitness who saw the guy put his hand up her skirt to grope her.
That wasn't just a grope on her butt.
Oh, no, no.
He went up, did, yeah.
It was an upskirt, grabbed a bun, and held on for dear life, according to her.
Wow.
And I believe it.
I believe it.
I believe it.
It's a guy.
It's a DJ. Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
What part of DJ didn't you understand?
Yes.
So, uh...
Damn.
Okay, any conclusion on this riveting story, Mr.
Dvorak?
Taylor will win the whole thing.
But she's really needing the publicity because she's being cut out of a lot of these shows.
Why?
Why is she being cut out?
I wonder myself.
I think it's because of the dancing.
When she's dancing with her girlfriends in the front, it's become annoying.
Okay, it could be.
Maybe, I don't know, maybe she's overexposed and she's, you know, maybe she should take some time off.
I mean, she was dominating the scene for a long time.
I mean, you know, materialism is okay.
She's just, she's too, she's alt-right, really.
That's the problem.
Just alt-right.
Alt-right.
I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
A bunch of people to thank for show 955.
Including right off the top, we have Peter Boyle was at the meetup.
And he has a birthday and some other stuff.
I think a nighting.
Let's see if he's on the nighting.
Peter Boyle?
Yeah, Peter Boyle.
Let me see.
Yeah, it's Sir Boyle, Night on Knob Hill.
Should be listed.
Better be.
Yes, got it.
After eight years of listening, I have completed my knighthood.
Over the years, I've hit six people in the mouth, and two have already become knights.
Ah, doing his job.
Remember to propagate the formula, slaves?
I would like to be known as Sir Boyle of the Knight of Knob Hill.
He came all the way up to San Francisco to the train museum.
Keep up the great work.
The world needs you two more than ever.
Requesting a chemtrails.
And Putin, don't worry, be happy.
Are we doing that for this second?
I don't mind doing it.
I think we should.
Putin, don't worry, be happy.
Yes.
And what was the other one, John?
I'm sorry.
Chemtrails?
I can't remember.
Don't worry.
Be happy.
Don't worry.
Be happy.
Boom.
Thank you.
Thank you, Peter.
Onward.
Jennifer...
Chuck-a-luck-chick.
Chuck-a-luck-chick.
What you said.
$176.05.
And it says something about...
I can read the note.
Here's my last installment to Damehood.
Very nice.
I'm very excited to reach this milestone with you, as we are, Jennifer.
Last show, Adam started reading an email I sent where I asked him to omit my name, and that cracked me up.
This was about Gardasil.
Yes.
I had gone through the same experience as Christina with a pre-cancerous scare, and I actually don't mind sharing that with the No Agenda audience, so no damage done, Adam.
Can I get a karma for everyone listening?
If it isn't taking it, I'd like to be Dame Jennifer of the Great White North.
I don't think we have a dame of the Great White North.
I'm sure we have a knight.
No, we do not.
I don't know that we have a Great White North night, maybe.
Thank you, as always.
That was a little racist.
Great White North, a little alt-right.
Thank you, as always, for helping my amygdala in the morning, and in the morning to you.
Looking forward to that.
We got a very angry note from someone who has a master's in...
Amygdala?
No, in cancer.
Oh, yes, we did get a nasty note saying we're doing a disservice.
Disservice by saying there's no such thing as pre-cancer.
Yeah.
And he said, that's dysplasia.
No, dysplasia.
But I'm not a doctor, so...
Well, he said, he did say that, you know, it's not always pre-cancer.
No.
No, it is pre-cancer, but I don't know.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's going to be cancer.
But we're not...
I don't know if we're doing a disservice, per se.
I think the Gardasil scam is pretty well known, and the point is how they're guilting children into getting their parents to shoot them up with something that may...
You don't talk about that in your email.
That may stop three strains of HPV out of the 21 possible.
Fine.
Okay, fine.
Then let's not talk about the side effects.
I think, yeah, the side effects need to be mentioned, like paralysis.
Yes, this is Guillain-Barre, that kind of stuff.
Thomas Key, $123.45 in Kansas City, Missouri.
Thank you.
Black Knights or Baron Barrow, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Except my apologies for not donating for some time.
Mr.
Conductoritis, who I believe is the guy who greeted me at the platform.
We're actually at the station.
And he needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
And I believe there's a shout-out birthday for Nathan Dale, who I think is 12.
That's on the list.
Yep.
Oscar Zamora, $111.11.
Great meetup, he says.
Paul Ranum in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
He needs a F cancer for Dirty Tito who punched me in the mouth nine years ago.
Okay, I'll put it in for the end in a minute.
Paul Ranum, that's Paul Ranum, Cotton Heights, Utah.
Adam Barrett, $101.01.
Josh McComas, $100.
Lon Baker, $100.
Sir Jackery Baronet of Bluff City.
100.
Nice.
Anthony Fields, 95.50 in West Roxbury, Massachusetts.
And he says courage.
Courage.
Tom Heazel, 808.
We got a lot of boobs today.
We start with Jason Werner in Schwartz, Texas.
Shirts, Texas, where you get shirts.
It's knighthood.
Tim Heasel, 808.
I didn't put a boop thing in there.
By the way, Jason Verner becomes a knight today.
Did he send you a note?
No.
Okay.
I didn't get one.
Maybe.
Maybe it's an email.
But it says knighthood donation.
I'll look at it when you play the jingles at the end.
Yeah.
Herb Lamb, 8008.
Joshua Thibodeau.
Much needed show, he says.
Greg Dial, 8008.
We had a lot of boob donations today.
Krishna in Dortmund, Deutschland.
Which is where the action is.
That's where you can't smoke.
$70.
This donation symbolizes the 70th anniversary of Indian independence.
In today's language, the news channel would say, index it.
Index it.
Index it.
Kevin Wood, yes, is what they'd say.
That's right.
69-69, Manchester, New Hampshire.
Christopher Tropp in Sturgis, Michigan.
Chris from Grafton, who worried about his note coming in so late that he emailed me because it was overdue because he has a birthday call out, which I think is on the list.
And there should be two.
See if he's got the birthday call out for my oldest Christian.
He'll be four on the 28th.
Yes.
I believe that's on there.
It's in there?
Yep.
Okay.
Yes.
What kinds of standing, he says.
Herman in Montreal, California.
Montreal, California.
Oh, Montreal, Canada.
What am I thinking?
C-A. Montreal, Canada.
Christopher Dechter.
That was 6164 from Herman.
Christopher Dechter, a.k.a.

Also, coincidentally, right after him on the same spreadsheet, Berlin, Deutschland.
Interesting.
Michael had 5533 and Sir Donald had 5522.
Yeah.
Bing, bing.
Boom, boom.

51-15.
Mark Little, La Jolla, California, $50 even.
And we use a bunch of $50 donors.
I'm going to go name a location if there is a location.
Otherwise, just name.

Yeah, where?
In Holland.
Oh, no, that's South Africa.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, he's one of those guys.
Iserfontein.
He's our only one of two people in South Africa.
Is he Zaire or South Africa?
Z-A. I think Z-A. I think that's Zaire.
Well, anyway, he's in South Africa.
He's in Africa in the South.
Richard Gardner.
Sir Richard Gardner, do you?
50, and that concludes our list of well-wishers and producers for shows...
It's 9.55 as we head towards show.
1,000.
Was there anything else about the meetup you need to talk about, people here?
Or is that we already did that with Conductoritis, etc.?
I think Conductoritis.
I got meetup stories.
We'll bring them in when they fit in.
And then we'll have the meetup list on the next show.
They'll be all thanked for the donations.
And they did a great job of putting, except one guy, of folding up their information in a novel.
We got a couple of cards.
Or we got one card from our nurse in Forestville.
And very funny card.
Oh, she always does nice cards.
Doesn't she?
I think she does nice cards.
We have a couple people that do nice cards, but this card was pretty cool.
Anyway, thank you everyone for helping us on show 955.
Yes, thank you very much.
And remember, we do have another show coming up on Thursday.
We need your support for that as well.
Dvorak.org slash NA. Remember us there.
And for those who need the jobs and F cancer karma, here it comes.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Here we go.
We start with Mr.
Conductoritis.
It's happy birthday to Nathan Dale, celebrated yesterday.
Jessica McLean celebrates today.
Chris from Grafton will be celebrating on the 19th.
And Chris from Grafton says happy birthday to his son Christian.
He'll be four on August 28th.
Happy birthday from everybody here, your buddies, at the best podcast in the universe.
It's your birthday, yeah!
Title changes today.
Let's see.
My title changes!
Sir Ben of Oakland becomes a baronet and requests house-selling karma.
So you got your karma there.
And Dame Sarah Bradley becomes a baroness.
Very happy to welcome her to the peerage, itm.im slash peerage, or I believe dvorak.org slash peerage.
No.htm, just slash peerage.
It may be.htm.
Give it a shot.
You never know.
All right, man.
Bring out the blade.
We've got two knightings, one daming.
Here I come.
All right.
Get some tissue.
Jennifer Chakalak, Chuck!
Chakalak, Chuck!
Come on, Jennifer.
Step up here along with Jason Verner and Peter Boyle.
Hey, everybody.
Very nice to have you here at the roundtable.
We welcome you profusely for your contribution to the best podcast in the university amount of $1,000 or more.
And therefore, you get the titles.
You get everything that goes along with it.
And I pronounce the KD. Oops.
Dame Jennifer of the Great White North.
We also say hello to Sir Vern and Sir Boyle, the Knight of Knob Hill.
For you, we have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
We got pipelines and poppies.
We got drams and DMT. We got ass cream and bear fillings, whiskey and wet wipes, opium and warm orange juice, breast milk and pablum, ginger ale and gerbils and mutton and mead.
And I saw a lot of pictures of night rings showing up on the social medias from the meetup.
I saw at least four hands with knight rings and a challenge coin, and we love seeing that.
So when you go to noagendarnation.com slash rings, Eric sends you your stuff.
Tweet it out.
It's fun.
It always has people asking, what the hell is that all about?
What are you listening to?
What are you guys doing?
You're crazy!
What are you doing, man?
Well, let me see what we have.
By the way, it was another thing about the meetup.
There were at least, maybe more, four...
Employees from Apple HQ. Really?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Millennials?
Yes.
And I don't know that we've ever had any Google eight men with all dudes named all dudes.
I don't know that we've ever had a Googler.
That's a good question.
If you work at Google, let us know.
Yeah.
I think we have...
I think Google's so shut down that they don't get involved with anything, especially shows like this.
You know, we've been tracking this egg stuff.
Put an egg on it.
The Egg Council has been working really hard to put eggs everywhere.
Because, you know, there's too many eggs.
We just have overproduced eggs.
And it's going bad.
Yeah, the UK is now accusing the Netherlands for sending them 700,000 infected eggs.
Yeah, the Netherlands making bad eggs.
Bad eggs.
And it showed up in egg sandwiches, which they have at the gas station, and Tesco's, and all the places where you just grab some food.
In the UK, they always have handmade sandwiches.
They like egg.
They like egg on their sandwich.
And so those have all been pulled out.
This is, hmm, bad eggs.
Scandalous.
I think we may see more bad eggs.
There's some kind of overproduction thing going on with eggs.
Well, we have this story, which is similar.
It's not about the eggs so much, but I think it does relate to it.
This is the antibiotic screed.
Johns Hopkins University environmental scientist Ellen Silbergeld is author of Chickenizing Farms and Food, which chronicles the rise of factory farming.
We need it to feed the world, she says, but not by feeding low doses of antibiotics to livestock, supposedly to promote growth or prevent disease before it happens.
Between 70 and 80 percent of total antibiotic production is used in agriculture.
And is the use in agriculture creating as much resistance in the bacteria as the use with humans?
I think it's arguably creating more.
When bacteria are exposed to low doses of antibiotics, bacteria are stressed but not killed.
And the community sends out signals whereby they share resistance genes.
Resist?
Yes.
So actually, low dose antibiotics over a long period of time are much worse.
Much worse, says Silvergeld, in that they expose workers and consumers to rapidly evolving antibiotic-resistant microbes.
Yeah, this is bad.
We already knew this was happening in humans.
I never even thought about the agriculture industry.
Yeah, listen to this clip too.
...to rapidly evolving antibiotic resistant microbes, perhaps in the very air we were breathing near this chicken house in Sussex County, Delaware.
We and others have done studies where we've tracked the outflow from these ventilation fans and we can find antibiotic resistant bacteria that are genetically identical to the bacteria inside the house as far away as essentially three football fields.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, we're going to die.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
We talked about that documentary, What the Health, I think.
Did we talk about that?
No, I don't remember.
Maybe.
Well, you won't be eating chicken after that.
I'm having chicken tonight.
I'm a little off chicken.
I like fried chicken.
I get tired of chicken.
Chicken is a boring meat.
You've got to really do all kinds of fancy things.
The Chinese probably do the best job of making chicken edible.
Chicken really is racist.
It's bland.
It's cultural appropriation.
It's just not good.
It can't be eaten chicken.
It's no good.
No good at all.
There's some migrant news, some new news from this morning, but also I'd like our Scandinavian listeners to get me some clips.
I'm very interested in this.
You know, when the Haitian earthquake took place, the Haitians got asylum in the United States, and that was, I believe it was extended once or twice.
That is now coming to an end.
Then the Haitians are trying to figure out what to do, and they're going to Canada.
So many, in fact, that they are being housed in the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
I didn't know this.
I didn't know this.
And that's a lot.
I would presume, if you had to put them in the stadium...
So I'd love to get a little more information about that.
Europe, nothing really wrong.
Just carry on, everybody.
Don't worry about migrants, as I'm sure you saw the cell phone footage of African migrants landing on a Spanish beach.
People out there sunbathing.
All of a sudden, this rubber boat washes up and these guys just, like, scatter.
It's crazy.
It's really...
Man, it's just insane.
It's unbelievable.
And the big problem we have in Europe is the NGOs who are picking up the migrants closer and closer to the Libyan coast.
I just got word from our military guys that the Libyan Navy is now shooting at NGOs who are trying to pick up migrants.
Right off the shore.
That's a step in the right direction.
It's the beginning, yeah.
Yeah, but that's, you know, there's a lot of issues with doing that, obviously.
Yeah, I'm sure there are.
I don't know what they're going to do about it.
I was following, you know, we talked about this war on men in the tech industry and how Mark Cantor got kind of pulled into it.
How did he get suckered into that?
How about no comment if you get a call?
No, no, no, no.
It's a little different.
I don't have to go through the whole story, but what's happening to him now, and Mark Cantor is really, you know, all he had was his reputation, and that's just completely shot.
Now, every story, just listen to this.
This is how it works.
This is how you get assassinated by, this is LA Times, by mainstream media media.
Then, you know, he did not do anything inappropriate in a situation where he could really help us.
He sent a text like, you're a sorceress.
Remember that?
Be like, oh, you're a sorceress.
You enchant me.
But it wasn't, you know, someone who was getting a job or anything like that.
Just douchebag.
Yeah, he's just doing a douchebag move.
Let's see.
Yeah, making a pass at somebody.
For all to see.
Yes.
This week's news follows a series of New York Times reports chronicling widespread sexual harassment of women in tech as a result of one story, Chris Saka of Lowercase Capital, Dave McClure of 500 Startups, and the startup advisor, Mark Cantor, all issued mea culpas.
So he's been put into the same bucket as actual really big douchebags.
Poor guy.
Maybe he can benefit from that.
No, I don't see how he can benefit from that.
No way.
No way.
Probably not.
Here's a story that we have predicted would happen, and it came true.
Every gun buyer fills out the ATF's Form 4473.
It asks nine questions about your life.
Are you under indictment, been convicted of stalking, a fugitive from justice, or mentally defective?
Question 11E asks if you're an unlawful user or addicted to marijuana.
It comes with this warning.
Marijuana is still illegal under federal law no matter what your state has done.
Gun dealers say a person legally prescribed marijuana and telling the truth would not be sold to If you check a box 11E, basically it rejects my form and I don't allow you to purchase the gun.
It's not a problem.
Gun dealer Mark Fulmer has had to deal with it since a warning was added last October.
I'm sure it's going to come up sometime, but so far it hasn't come up.
And the ATF confirms that what the gun dealers are telling us is correct.
Medical marijuana guru John Morgan told us the federal law is stopping real progress, predicting the NRA would become pro-medical marijuana at the federal level.
Marijuana advocate Taylor Beal says patients shouldn't have to give up their rights.
If they legally are accessing medicine to treat their debilitating diseases, they now could possibly forfeit their right to bear arms.
The names of marijuana patients in Florida are confidential.
We've asked the Department of Law Enforcement if they plan to check that database against gun purchase applications.
They've yet to get back with this.
Oh, don't worry.
They will.
Well, we said this would happen.
You sign up for medical marijuana.
Yes, a mistake.
Yeah, and then, oops, you can't have a gun, can't live near a school.
That's next.
Yeah, can't be anywhere near children.
Yeah, that would be all that.
Well, you have to legalize it, or live in a state where it's legal.
What are they going to do, ask you this question in California?
I don't think they do it.
Yes, that's what they're saying.
It has nothing to do with the state you're in.
This is a federal background show.
No, but you listen to the way the question is worded.
Yeah, are you addicted, is what it's like.
Yeah.
Well, no one's going to answer yes to that.
But it's a start.
It's a start.
Well, the other thing is this is a misleading question, because you can't really be addicted.
Oh my God, I just had a great idea for the chip.
Oh my god, this is such an easy one.
You want a gun?
You have to have a chip, because your gun will not function unless you have a chip in your hand.
Well, I actually mentioned that exact scenario in the column.
Oh, really?
Perfect.
That would make sense.
You get those people chipped first, and people would do it.
Well, they're going to do it anyway.
Because like you said at the beginning of the show, it's hopeless.
It's hopeless.
It's over.
Yeah, that's true.
But there is hope for you and I. You and I can start a new business.
And I'm not talking about altcoins.
I'm not talking about any crazy scheme.
Oh, not a crazy scheme, huh?
So we're going to start a business.
Okay, this will be interesting.
I'm in.
Okay.
CNBC. California finds pot of gold in wine and weed pairings.
Hey, hey.
Are we made for this business or what?
Well, first of all, I don't...
Ugh.
I suppose...
Now, I can see...
Okay, let me think about this.
And the reason I bring this up, I recently...
There was a benefit for the Ronald McDonald House.
We went to a beer and ice cream pairing.
And it was quite interesting.
I didn't expect that to be something I would be into.
Yeah.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect that either.
But it was...
I liked it.
It was tasty.
Hmm.
Okay, you were going to make a point?
Well, I could see a couple of things.
I could see you smoking maybe with a Napoleon cognac.
That would be kind of cool, and it would probably match up fair, because cigars are commonly smoked with Napoleon cognacs, which is a high-grade cognac, but not...
Real high.
So that would work, but that's not wine.
No, it's not.
I would say maybe a sauterne or something sweet.
Yeah.
Because of the sweet, the thing that sometimes develops with some people smoke dope.
That might work.
I just do not see a dry wine.
Or I could also see edibles with any of the cognacs or sweet wines.
Well, we could do brownies.
We could do brownies.
Brownies and brownies work with a lot of stuff.
And some people seem to think a trendy thing now is Cabernet Sauvignon with chocolate.
We can put it in chocolate, a little edible chocolate.
I'm not into that.
I've done it.
Well, listen, do you want to make money or do you just want to grouse?
I want to grouse.
I don't want to make money.
It's pretty obvious.
If you haven't noticed this by now.
Yeah, I just want to grouse.
I'm just going to grouse and grouse.
I got a couple last clips.
Well, I have one more to tie into this about the opioid crisis.
And I do want to repeat that it's very disturbing that our president is just following the same old bullcrap war on drugs.
Along with Sessions, he's all against the weed.
But instead of going after the real players, the real bad actors, which starts with the pharmaceutical industry, now instead we're going to, you know, more treatment for people.
But on MSNBC, we know this whole focus on the opioid crisis, racist.
And again, this is truly a national tragedy.
But, you know, two decades ago in this country, you had lots of folks who look like me who were dying in D.C. and Chicago and L.A. in greater numbers than what we're seeing right now as a result of the crack cocaine epidemic that plagued this country.
It seems as if we are treating this particular drug crisis differently than we treated that way.
It's really unbelievable.
Yeah, because now white people are dying, so yeah, now we care.
That's what he's saying.
That's what he's saying.
I find that...
It's bullcrap.
Yeah, yeah.
These guys are just the worst.
But, again, it doesn't matter.
I guarantee you.
We'll hear people saying, oh, yeah, yeah.
This is all about race.
I have given up, John.
I mean, I'm fine with...
Black addicts matter.
Black addicts matter.
Yeah, exactly.
You're not familiar with this as a kind of tech news since it's Sunday, but not really going to start the jingle for it.
I was waiting for this to happen because I didn't witness it actually happening, but thought about something along these lines when we were traveling.
You don't have an iPhone, but the iPhone has this concept called airdropping.
Are you familiar with how this works?
Airdropping?
I know.
You drop the phone on the ground and watch it crack?
Yeah, near-field communications.
I think it only works with your Bluetooth on.
So maybe it's just Bluetooth.
And you can pretty much any web page or picture or anything you have, you can just say, okay, I want to forward this or share.
I want to share it.
So you click a little share icon.
And then you can do an airdrop.
And up pop all these pictures of people around you have airdrop on and enabled.
And I think the default is just accept from anybody.
And women have discovered in the New York subway that men have discovered this capability and are airdropping dick pics.
Woo!
That sounds about right.
Hail Apple!
And of course this is causing trauma, you understand?
You think.
Yeah, it's causing a lot of trauma.
Oh!
Oh!
And they look around.
They're in the subway.
They see the pic, and then they look around.
They look left, and they look right, and they see some kind of creepy guy in the corner smirking at him.
No, they're looking at hands.
Let me see.
Does this go with his hands?
Exactly.
Dick pics.
This, by the way, is not a bad no-agenda promotion.
Because, you know, you can share anything.
So you can also share from your podcast app.
You can share the No Agenda show.
Why do people do that?
Well, because we're telling them to do it now.
Okay.
And on that note, we somehow have not been nominated for a podcast award this year.
From the podcast award, guys?
Yeah.
I think he purposely drops you the next year.
Oh, is that true?
Yeah.
I think so, because I noticed last year there's the same thing.
I saw a bunch of people that were...
The winners from the previous year didn't get on the list.
I don't think you just...
But here's what's...
Otherwise, we just win it every year.
But here's what's really odd.
So I'm looking at the page.
It's, you know, it's our knight, our blueberry guy, Todd Cochran.
And the People's Choice Award has now become, wait for it, the Adam Curry People's Choice Award.
I was unaware.
What?
Why?
I don't know.
This is the first I'm hearing of it.
That's good publicity, so take it.
Yeah, we're not nominated.
He wants you to come to the show and hand out the Adam Curry award.
Oh, okay, I got it.
You think?
Hey, man, how can that be?
That's the way it works.
I think we just forgot to give our $5 and write our sell.
I think that's what we messed up.
I think you have to write in and pay for a nomination.
No, maybe.
I'm going for the Peabody.
Oh, man.
Wouldn't that be awesome if we won the Peabody?
Oh, yeah.
It's doable.
I could really see that.
I could put some shows together that are exemplary.
We do have exemplary shows.
Check this out.
I just got a bill.
Payment received.
Your payment of $10 was applied to Google Fiber, which I do not have.
They're already charging me.
Hey, good luck getting that stopped.
Well, good luck, yes, because Google, they don't have any way of talking to them.
Nuts.
And I want to thank Circumvent for purchasing NoAgendaTents.com.
Very good.
It forwards to NoAgendaShow.com, but just so you know, we're still on the tent trip, everybody.
You know, if we get a bunch of tents and have them silkscreen, so it says No Agenda Show.
Yeah.
Tent.
The No Agenda Show tent.
No Agenda Show colon tent.
And it would be, I think it would be great.
Because we'd get a lot, we'd get some publicity from the networks.
Oh, they're giving these poor bastards these tents.
Even though these, this is pathetic.
We shouldn't be, I mean, you know, this is okay.
Somebody's got to give them tents.
Something like this.
And we have news from Austin, Texas this evening where a podcast has decided to help the homeless.
We go to John C. Dvorak on the scene.
John, what are you witnessing?
Oh, yeah, dear.
We have their tent.
We got guys with tents and they all say no agenda.
Tent.
So we assume, and this is a podcast, a very famous podcast, the best podcast in the universe.
Everybody's pretty familiar with this podcast, but we didn't know they'd gone into the tent business.
We're looking into it.
Back to you, Adam.
All right.
Isn't that crazy?
Podcasters helping everybody out.
In other news, that's kind of how I see it would go.
It could be a beautiful local little news story.
Everyone could run with it.
Yeah, we need a PR person to push it, because they're not going to do it on their own.
They don't even get out of the office.
But you tell them about it, and they'll cover it.
So I have one last clip.
Okay.
And this relates back to the passing over of Prince Charles.
Yes.
Now, there's a bunch of these die...
Right.
died.
Yeah.
And it was just kind of like one of those little creative fillers, you know, as they do credit roll.
Right.
I found this one to be quite, Tell me if you can recognize something in this particular one.
Which now I look like, what?
Why is this there?
Bring me the head of Princess Diana.
Good evening, I'm Kevin Newman.
There has been a terrible accident involving Diana, the Princess of Wales.
Princess Di is dead.
And who should we see about that?
Okay, what?
I'm not quite sure what to think of that.
Well, the last one, the last clip that you heard in that group of three, even though there was about ten of them, was Clooney.
No.
Yeah, and there was a video of him.
He's standing in front of the mic announcing Princess Diana's death to someone or some...
I don't know why he had anything to do with it.
Well, we know why.
Yes.
There's only one reason why you call Clooney.
Yeah, I've got something going on and you need a distraction.
Come on, come on.
Come on.
Hmm.
So that was Cluny.
Yeah, play it again.
It's a very short clip.
Bring me the head of Princess Diana.
Good evening.
I'm Kevin Newman.
There has been a terrible accident involving Diana, the Princess of Wales.
I'm going to pass it to us.
Princess Di is dead.
And who should we see about that?
George Clooney.
George Clooney.
He's a spy.
He's a spy.
What is dead and who should we see about that?
He's a spook, so he's clearly looking at MI5. I don't know.
I just found it.
I saw it.
I went, wow.
This guy.
He's everywhere.
He sure predates the show.
He does.
He does.
All right, everybody.
Just remember, it's hopeless.
I just want to wrap it up the way we started.
Great structure.
What?
It's called a ring structure.
Ah, yes.
I've read about that.
I know how it works.
I'm perfecting it.
Who knows what Thursday's show will bring.
Today is Sunday, so anything's up in the air on a show day, as you know.
But we will be here faithfully.
We hope you are with us in faith.
Here on the Alt-Wrong.
And remember to watch Wednesday as I'll be promoting the show.
Oh, yeah.
On InfoWars.
And hopefully have some good guests on.
I'm a little nervous about it.
Why?
I haven't done something like that in a long time.
It's all right.
It's only, what, an hour?
Four hours, yeah.
Okay.
It's only four hours.
Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, in the common law condo.
In the 5x9 Cludio, we are in FEMA Region 6, in case you're looking forward on the map.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, well, I'll be watching on Wednesday to see how Adam does commercials for pills.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Until Thursday, adios, mofos!

got ants.
I got ants.
I don't know if you had ants.
We had ant invasion.
I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine grind of black pepper.
We were having dinner and he 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 just see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you.
I'm going to back 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.
Music Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants.
Oh, Elon! Elon!
Betting against Elon Musk is betting against the future of humanity.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

Elon is a complete perfectionist and then he always over delivers.
An achievement unlike anything in the history of technology.
It literally is up there with the iPhone.
I'm no fan of Elon Musk, generally speaking.

Elon, you're wrong, Elon!
Oh, Elon!
