	And then when the 2400-baud modem came out, we went, wow!
	This thing is twice as fast.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, August 31st, 2017.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 9 or 6.
	Zoom.
	This is no agenda.
	Separating Antifa from Black Block and coming to you from the darkest corners of the United and downtown Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state in the Clutio.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And I'm Northern Silicon Valley, where every day is an LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP day.
	I'm John C. DeVarack.
	It's Crack, Blot, and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	You have an acronym?
	You have an acronym?
	That's the one.
	That's the one that was approved by the UN. Oh, yeah.
	No, no, no.
	That's not true.
	The UN is LGBTI. No.
	UN is LGBTI. And you just mentioned the one that you put in the newsletter, which we already discussed on the show.
	I didn't put this in the newsletter.
	I think you did.
	LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP? No.
	Where did I see that?
	I thought you put that picture in the newsletter.
	Oh yes, I did.
	It was a picture.
	It was a picture.
	See?
	I wasn't discussing it.
	No, it was a picture.
	It was a picture.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	This is the one.
	This was approved by some group.
	No, it's not approved.
	It's L-G-G-B-D-T-T-T-I-Q-Q-A-A-P-P. You do remember we discussed this exact thing on the show, right?
	Of course.
	Yeah, of course I put it in there.
	Hey, John, we got a crisis going on here in Texas.
	Does it have anything to do with L-G-G-B-D-T-T-T-I-Q-Q-A-A-P-P? It might!
	This is pretty bad.
	Tell me about it.
	I think we have 7,000 people now coming in from Houston to stay in Austin.
	Well, it's about time.
	About time Austin opened its doors.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	It's pretty bad.
	This is not a good scene.
	What, do it have 7,000 people actually?
	No, just what's happening in Houston.
	I know people in Houston.
	There's all kinds of...
	It's really...
	The TV, the telescreen doesn't really do it justice.
	It's a mess.
	It's a real mess, and it's going to last for a long time.
	Well, what's a long time to you?
	I think this will last for...
	We'll have people homeless for months, maybe half a year, maybe longer.
	And there's all kinds of weird stuff going on.
	Of course, you know, you get a lot of talk.
	A lot of things being a lot of talk.
	But there's, you know, have you caught kind of how they're talking about this being a once in a 500 year flood?
	The Galveston flood in 1900 was worse.
	That wasn't my question.
	Yes, I have heard that.
	Okay, so this is now being kind of pushed along instead of a 100-year flood, and this is very important because there is language in every...
	It's got something to do with global warming, I'll bet you.
	No, it has to do with insurance.
	There's different insurance rates if you're on a 100-year floodplain versus a 500-year floodplain.
	Or floodplain.
	Or floodplain, for that matter.
	The insurance company is trying to screw the public again.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Shocker.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	So there's all kinds of weirdness going on with that.
	Meanwhile, this Arkema chemical plant, which I guess things are already popping off, but this thing is supposed to explode.
	Yeah.
	Well, here I have the report.
	Oh, good.
	Good, good, good.
	And this is the WTF chemical.
	And I have commentary.
	Okay.
	WTF chemical plant, Texas.
	Okay.
	Tonight, Crosby, Texas is dealing with too much water and now the potential for fire or worse.
	The new danger coming from a flooded manufacturing plant.
	The CEO of Arkema Inc.
	saying today he expects chemicals stored there will catch fire or explode within six days, adding there is no way to prevent it.
	In a statement, the company describes the situation at the plant as serious.
	Dozens of homes are nearby, and everyone living within a one-and-a-half-mile radius has been ordered to evacuate.
	Families, their pets, and whatever they could carry, leaving in school buses and military vehicles.
	The chemicals used to make things like hoses, foam cups and plastic pipes need to be kept cold.
	But more than 40 inches of rain knocked out electricity, killed backup generators and now threatens the remaining cold storage units.
	What is not clear tonight is exactly how big a fire or explosion might be and exactly what the impact would be on people or the environment.
	Tonight, state, local and federal officials are watching closely.
	Tom?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, here's the...
	I mean, this was Tom on ABC, Tom Lamas.
	Are they going to tell us anything other than there's a possible big boom or it's going to blow up?
	That's about all I've heard.
	They're there.
	They talk to the guy who runs the plant.
	There's chem engineers all over the country that could explain it.
	Somebody could ask one of them, is it too much to ask?
	Yes, yes, John, because the journalists are too busy saving people.
	They're not saving anybody.
	They're not saving anybody by not telling us the facts about this.
	Are we talking about various vinyl compounds that are extremely toxic?
	I'd like to know.
	I'd like to know.
	Gas all over the place?
	Yeah.
	Is there any information whatsoever?
	Nothing.
	Nothing.
	Do you know anything?
	This is national news.
	I'm sorry?
	This is a national news report, and that's the best they can give us.
	They have no information except it's going to blow up.
	Are you trying to ask them if they're doing their job?
	Because no.
	I mean, isn't that why we exist?
	It's annoying.
	Yeah, we exist to deconstruct stuff, but not to do the job of these guys.
	You're right.
	We have absolutely no information.
	But we do know...
	By the way, it's not a secret.
	Making cups and hoses and pipes, the process is well known.
	So it's not like you can't call the University of Texas and ask for the chemical engineering department and get some guy to tell you what normally goes into this stuff and how it works.
	I think you made your point.
	I think so, too.
	What we do know a lot about...
	What you do or do not wear if you're going to visit a disaster area.
	Because that was pretty much the news was Melania Trump's heels.
	I do want to say something about this.
	Because the face bag was unbelievable.
	Over the weekend.
	Over the past few days.
	It was...
	All I see is people bitching about what Melania was wearing.
	That this is...
	Well, of course, a lot of global warming.
	Which is all GOPers.
	It's all Republicans' fault.
	It's Republicans' fault for not evacuating, even though the mayor is a Democrat.
	It's Republicans' fault for...
	What was it?
	I mean, that's all that it is.
	It's all Republicans' fault.
	No one is really interested in people dying.
	Let's blame, blame, blame.
	And I have to say, just because everyone's doing it, even though Melania looks fabulous, I love her FLOTUS hat.
	Completely inappropriate venue.
	When I see him and her walking, do you know what flashes through my mind?
	This will be nothing to anyone but you.
	I think Ron and Marta.
	It keeps hitting me.
	I'm like, God, it's just like them.
	I saw Trump, this was years ago, when he was with Marla Maples.
	I saw him at the U.S. Open.
	And, which is, I was invited to, believe me, I couldn't afford to go by my own.
	And the guy, and she's another one of these beautiful women, and it was, and they just seemed to kind of glow.
	As a couple, it's very strange to witness it.
	And I think the biggest click on the float is that, well, let's go back to Facebook.
	And what kind, do you have anything to read about the heels?
	The heels thing.
	And then what got me about the heel.
	Oh, she's wearing spikes.
	This is ridiculous.
	And then she went to...
	No, hooker shoes, John.
	No, no.
	I just want to say one other thing.
	The amount of particularly women who are just going off on another woman for what she wears.
	Let me tell you, women always lose out when it comes to fashion.
	And here are women shaming another woman for her fashion choices coming from people who say you should never do that.
	Yeah, that's the irony.
	That's great.
	And then, of course, she switched to some white sneakers.
	Yeah.
	Which were pristine, which means this is probably the first time they've ever been worn because you can't keep white sneakers that clean.
	And then they bitched about that.
	Oh, she's wandering around with two pairs of shoes.
	As if every woman in San Francisco who works for a living, who goes to the office, doesn't carry an extra pair of shoes in her purse because they walk around in, I don't know, pumps usually in the office.
	And then as soon as they get outside, as soon as it works over, Change into sneakers or walking shoes so they can wander back home.
	Everybody does that.
	Let me read something from the face bag.
	In particular from this event.
	No kidding.
	Five inch heels.
	I honestly, honestly thought this had to be a joke.
	A silly Photoshop image poking fun.
	But I did my due diligence and saw the video for walking across the tarmac to Air Force One as these two bizarre cartoon characters head to Texas.
	Now some of the context.
	Comments.
	She wants to keep her ankles dry.
	Smart!
	Five-inch heels, deep waters.
	I thought I was the only one who noticed this.
	She's really out of touch.
	Are they both fucking medicated?
	I mean, I'd have to be drugged to the eyeballs to survive living with him.
	Let's see.
	I'd laugh hysterically, but I just can't anymore.
	Shallow people entering deep waters.
	Ooh.
	I'll give you that one.
	That's a good one.
	I just can't fathom the level of callous stupidity to show up in five-inch heels when people are still literally underwater.
	How about some cute boots at least?
	Mindy.
	Cute boots!
	Not just any boots, but cute boots.
	Cute boots!
	Spent this morning in the car blubbering on the way to work.
	Seriously, I know it's not about me, but I seriously can't take much more thinking of the innocent pets and people.
	Notice pets as first.
	Being left to die while these two tweeted like a photo op.
	I can't.
	I just can't.
	It just goes on and on and on and on.
	I wish people would...
	It's too bad you can't...
	You know, Facebook owns a copyright for a lot of this.
	They could put together some damn funny books.
	I wonder if...
	I guess they do own everything.
	Yeah, it is their copyright.
	We couldn't do it.
	Now, but just to move on, there's other things that are happening.
	And what I noticed very quickly...
	Is the amount of non-profit organizations who jumped in and Red Cross, as usual, was on the money.
	They were right there.
	Boom!
	Everybody donate to the Red Cross, which I am against.
	And ABC is pushing the Red Cross to an extreme, giving you the phone number to call for an automatic $10 donation.
	What's interesting is that, certainly on local news, you would see different organizations to donate to.
	So it would be Goodwill, donate to Red Cross, donate to Salvation Army.
	And I said to Tina, I said, man, this is an opportunity.
	Everybody is shamelessly, shamelessly jumping on this.
	And I do not like the Red Cross.
	ProPublica, of all people, is very against what they're doing.
	Just against them in general.
	They're doing a tweetstorm!
	About how Red Cross is not a healthy organization.
	And I can't speak for what they may or may not be doing with the funds for Hurricane Harvey.
	But I do know that if you donate blood...
	Which I don't think they've asked for, but in a blood drive by the Red Cross, if you say, oh, people need blood for Hurricane Harvey, they don't, but let's say they did, then you donate blood.
	That blood isn't going to Hurricane Harvey victims.
	They are the largest seller of blood to hospitals.
	That is one of their main revenue sources outside of donations and gifts, is they sell the blood that you give to them to hospitals.
	And not just for emergencies, just when the hospital needs some blood.
	I don't like them at all.
	But then we have the...
	Let's see.
	The name of this outfit, which I'm hearing about a lot of them, is the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, which is run by a lady called Linda Sarsour.
	And...
	If you track the money, if you track the donations...
	So you're giving us this report with a deadpan face not knowing who Linda Sarsour is.
	I really don't.
	Why would I not know?
	Why would I know?
	Who is she?
	Maybe I do.
	Why would you know?
	It's because you've seen her a million times and you know who she is.
	Okay.
	But for some reason you've lost...
	Yeah, tell me.
	Tell me.
	Tell me.
	She is that Muslim woman, Jew-hating Muslim woman that shows up at everything.
	Right.
	I gotcha.
	I gotcha.
	And she's the one that promised $100,000 to the Colorado Jewish Cemetery, which they still have yet to receive.
	And now she has the Harvey Hurricane Relief Fund.
	Okay, now I understand.
	Yes, that makes nothing but sense.
	So her money, the money you may or may not send to her, seems to be going into political organizations.
	Because she really represents political organizations.
	Yeah, the Muslim Brotherhood being one of them.
	Yeah, you could call that a political organization, I guess.
	It is.
	Yeah.
	Let me see.
	Well, okay.
	We have our local politicians coming out, and what you want to do is you want to go to a shelter and stand there and talk a little bit.
	I understand that these are confusing situations.
	I understand that, you know, especially if you're in a shelter and there's a lot of panic and maybe your own home's flooded, I think that may be the case, or at least under some threat.
	Our representative here, Sheila Jackson Lee...
	Could not quite understand that the comparison this news person is making on CNN is to Superstorm Sandy.
	Not Sandy Hook, which was something very different.
	Well, these children were killed, we think.
	And the question is, why did you, Sheila Jackson Lee, not want to sign for the Superstorm Sandy bill, which I think a lot of people didn't sign, a lot of representatives didn't sign that because it was filled with all kinds of stuff that had nothing to do with the actual Superstorm.
	Right, it was one of those scam bills.
	Yeah, the scam bill.
	But for some reason, she just cannot figure, even after the host prompts her, it was just a piece of television that I needed to share.
	Why didn't you vote for H.R. 152?
	That was the Appropriations Act of 2013 that all sorts of Texas lawmakers voted against and you just did not vote.
	Why did you skip that one?
	As I said, I voted on legislation to help the Sandy Hook victims on many occasions.
	Sandy Superstrong voted on many occasions.
	I'm sorry, Sandy Superstrong.
	Wow.
	The thing that bothers me about her, she sounds arrogant.
	She has these airs about her.
	Yeah, she does sound arrogant.
	But she's just a, you know, Maxine Water that's that's not as well dressed victims on many occasions.
	And therefore, and Sandy Superstrong voted on many occasions as we go forward.
	I am hoping that we will not have the kind of conflicts and the diminishing of monies that the Texans do need.
	That's what is important.
	The Sandy Hook vote.
	It took many times, and my vote was for the maximum amount of money.
	I can account for those votes, and therefore, the important idea is to make sure that you voted when the money was needed.
	I did that.
	Just so that everybody is clear, we're talking about Superstorm Sandy.
	That's what we're talking about in 2012 and 2013.
	Just so that we're clear, since you're saying that you voted along with Democrats to give the maximum amount, why did you skip that vote, the House, the H.R. 152?
	I think she's made it very clear to the audience, but really she's saying, Mrs.
	Sheila Jackson Lee, we're talking about Superstorm Sandy, not about Sandy Hook.
	Okay, I think she's got it now.
	Well, let me be very clear.
	I voted on many votes for Sandy Hook funding.
	I voted on the main legislation for Sandy Hook funding.
	And so, I think it's important to focus on what was offensively done.
	And here in Houston and Harris County and the state of Texas, we're going to be on the offensive in introducing an aid package to make sure that we have the funding for what is needed.
	For what is need.
	Okay.
	For what is need.
	Clip of the day right off the bat.
	This happens too often.
	Thank you.
	Ruins the show.
	No, it doesn't.
	No.
	Clip of the day.
	I am not done.
	I am not done.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	You should be so proud of yourselves, Texans.
	Yeah, we are.
	For having this person.
	Vote this woman out.
	Maybe they were sending a beam at her.
	I mean, it's possible it was a beam.
	The beam was misdirected.
	The beam was hitting.
	Or maybe she's just an idiot.
	That's possible.
	I don't know.
	Certainly her brain was scrambled.
	You're not listening.
	Let's put it that way.
	She's not listening.
	I love C-SPAN. I love the callers who call in.
	It's never one of our people who call in, sadly.
	Just call after call about it's climate change and it's the stupid Republicans and then a lot of people in Texas and a lot of Republicans calling in and saying they thought the president was doing great and did he come too early?
	Should he not?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	It's a replication of the face bag.
	And then someone called in with something that I wondered about myself.
	Rick, Los Angeles, California, Democrats line.
	Luckily, he's a Democrat.
	Hi, yes, my name is Rick.
	I'm from Los Angeles.
	I have studied astronomy and astrology and the stars for many, many years, and I've seen these things before.
	What caused that flood and the disaster in Texas was that lunar eclipse last week.
	The total eclipse.
	Whenever you have these solar events up in the stars, you usually have some type of natural disaster here on Earth somewhere.
	And this time it happened to be in Texas.
	Last time it was Sandy, and before that it was Katrina.
	They've always followed, preceded by some lunar eclipse.
	Let's go to Chris in Santa Clarita, California, Republican line.
	Hi.
	Hey, we'll just cut the...
	Why didn't they cut that guy off?
	That was interesting.
	Yeah, but he also said he's an astrologer instead of astronomer, but okay.
	You know, I wondered that.
	I said, wow, that's coincidental, certainly.
	And I always learned as a kid that the moon and the magnetism from the moon and maybe from Saturn or Venus, that they create the tides.
	And you don't have to do that.
	What do you think?
	You might know.
	I might.
	You're an astrologer.
	What do you think, you idiot?
	You might know.
	I think, I like the idea because it seems, I think there is a correlation between these crazy events, these eclipses, and disasters on Earth.
	Because I think documented one, but I think if, if I'm not mistaken with what I've read in the literature, I believe that this is not an unusual situation.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	It's as good as the explanation as any.
	Although I think the astronomer thinks...
	Astrologer.
	All right, people.
	All right, listen.
	Chat room simmer the F down, okay?
	Now, you have to remember that Ronald Reagan's wife, Nancy...
	Oh, she was big into astrology.
	She was a nutball about it to the point where he was sworn into office.
	People don't remember this.
	I do, because I actually have a reason, because I clipped it out when it happened.
	I think the clip's around somewhere in the archives.
	When Reagan was sworn into office because of some astrological anomaly, he was sworn into something like 12.05 in the morning.
	Yes.
	Just after midnight.
	The best time to do it.
	Because of some astrological bull crap.
	So she was really into that.
	Well, you know what?
	It's just as good a reason as global warming.
	I'll take that, too.
	I mean, either way you want it.
	Do you want to call me a nutjob?
	I just thought it was interesting, and he cut him right off.
	That's why I left that in.
	I think that was terrible.
	He cut him off.
	I mean, this is a guy, the guy knew which guy it was.
	That guy, he's a stick in the mud.
	Yeah.
	And I was, I heard, I couldn't find it.
	I think they cut it out of the replay.
	I heard one lady come in and say, hey, that lady who called in yesterday said she wanted to donate $25,000 to get people bottled water as long as they promised they would not give it to anyone who was a Republican.
	I mean, that's the shit that's going on.
	I wish I could find the call.
	I think they cut it out.
	Oh, that would be a great call to give a copy.
	I checked.
	These people are sick.
	Well, the news people are sick and finally got called out on it.
	You may have seen this clip.
	I think it went pretty viral, as CNN is doing.
	And yet we talk about how ghoulish the media is in these particular cases.
	And also, the ghoulishness, they only talk about Houston.
	There's a lot of other counties that people have been...
	Oh, the whole area.
	There's probably a lot, many more better stories outside of Houston.
	But they won't go.
	They won't go.
	They won't go to any other place.
	It's too dirty!
	Whatever the problem is.
	So there's a woman and two kids in a shelter, and CNN is there, you know, sticking the mic in everybody's face, asking questions.
	Yeah, I'm sure you've seen this.
	I did.
	And this is ghoulish, and I just love how this lady called her out on it, and the whole clip is just a beautiful piece of what is wrong.
	That was a male reporter.
	There's a female reporter on the ground, and this is a great example, because I think that when people step back and listen to what happened, you realize, yeah, it really is bullshit what the news is doing.
	You're standing with some folks there right now, including a little girl who, I guess, has to deal with all of this as well.
	What can you tell us?
	Let me introduce you to Danielle here.
	Danielle, you just arrived.
	Share with us how you were rescued.
	Some guys had called our phone and asked us where we were.
	We was waiting for the police for like 36 hours and they never came.
	And we was waiting at the home.
	We did the white flags and everything and nobody came.
	But then somebody had called the phone after we decided to leave the house and we had walked to the gas station with the kids.
	And then they had called and came and picked us up.
	But we had been there, like, five days with no food and no lights, and nobody came.
	Like, nobody came.
	Now, you're with your children.
	We've heard of stories of mothers trying to save their children from the rushing waters.
	Can you tell us how that was?
	We went through four feet of water to go get them food on the first day.
	Yeah, that's a lot of shit.
	But y'all sitting here, y'all trying to interview people during their worst times.
	Like, that's not the smartest thing to do.
	Like, people are really breaking down, and y'all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us what the fuck is wrong with us.
	I'm so sorry, man.
	And you're really trying to understand, with the microphone still in my face, with me shivering cold, with my kids wet, and you still putting the microphone in my face.
	Sorry.
	Rosa Flores, it sounds like you've got a very upset family there.
	We're going to take a break from that, and we'll get back to you later on.
	Very upset, fam.
	And I can just hear the control room going like, yeah, yeah, ask her how she was saved.
	Yeah.
	And when you see the video, when the woman is saying, all you're doing is you're sticking the microphone in my face, and the microphone is actually stuck in her face.
	And then the reporter pulls it back and says, yes, I'm sorry, and then she puts it in again and says, there you go again, sticking it in my face!
	Very, very good.
	Very, very good.
	I don't think they understand how ghoulish they are, but...
	I don't think so either, but I think if they had a sense of humor...
	The reporter would have said, would you like me to love you up?
	Oh yeah, that would have been a really good one, John.
	And the shaming, of course, we had to shame Joel Osteen that he didn't open his church.
	I don't know what's true or what's not true.
	The church is open now, I guess.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	I just don't.
	You don't know because they hate Joel Osteen.
	Yeah, it's just hate.
	There's a bunch of these guys.
	They're called prosperity gospel preachers.
	And they have a...
	It's not the...
	It's not the normal Christian message.
	There used to be a black preacher, and I can't remember his name.
	I wish I could.
	Actually, never mind the chat room wouldn't know this either.
	But there used to be a black preacher.
	And he was...
	All his sermons were about making money.
	And he wore a suit that was tailored out of dollar bills.
	Somebody's got to get this guy's name.
	Somebody will write me or something.
	Because this guy, his sermons were dynamite.
	But I think a lot of these guys kind of stem from this character who was very popular.
	I believe he was in Oakland.
	But it's a certain kind of thing that a lot of Christians don't...
	Well, I would say it's not...
	Christians...
	Look, I don't know, but I see a lot of proclaimed atheists who just hate everything that the guy stands for.
	I don't know much about it.
	Well, he packs them in.
	That's the problem.
	I mean, they hate that.
	I mean, he has this little auditorium there.
	A little auditorium packs and he fills it to the rim every time he gets it.
	Pastor Creflo Dollar?
	Is that the guy?
	Creflo?
	Creflo, Creflo, Creflo with an F. Creflo?
	Creflo.
	I think it is something dollar, so that's probably him.
	Yeah, Reverend Creflo Dollar.
	Creflo Dollar, maybe.
	Maybe.
	Anyway, it's probably him.
	So he'll do his TV thing and then he'll pack 16,000 people into his arena to give these sermons and He's got a big draw.
	I don't blame the atheists for being upset with this guy.
	It's ruining their business, whatever the business is.
	Anyway, it's much worse.
	It doesn't really translate to television.
	It really doesn't.
	And there's really only a couple of places around Houston where people can go to.
	Dallas, Austin, that's kind of it.
	San Antonio.
	You can't go to Louisiana because it's gotten rained on too.
	Right, right.
	And I was like, what can I do?
	I'd love to help.
	No one's looking for helicopter pilots.
	And that's understandable.
	You know, the only thing I could find that I said, no, I can do this.
	I got a truck.
	They need diapers.
	Lots of diapers for the shelter.
	Oh, I can imagine.
	That's a good point.
	Yeah, so I load up the truck with diapers, and you can bring them down to multiple drop-offs.
	But then you can also do it through Amazon.
	Well, that's kind of easy.
	Why don't I have Amazon drop it right off?
	Here's something I learned.
	There are restrictions on how many packs of diapers you can order at one time from Amazon.
	The number is four.
	What?
	Yeah.
	You can't order more.
	At least, that's what I found.
	Every customer limited to four.
	Has that always been the case, or is that just now because they're running out of diapers?
	Well, this I don't know.
	I don't know, because I haven't dealt with diapers for a long time.
	And it may be the seller, but this was Amazon Prime, because I wanted to get there immediately.
	So I presume that Amazon is the one that has it in stock, and there's a special link specifically to send diapers to one of the facilities.
	And it's limited to four.
	I'm like, I would like to buy more.
	Okay.
	I don't know.
	That's definitely doing better work than sending your money to the Red Cross.
	Yeah, the Red Cross.
	I have a lot of issues with the Red Cross.
	And then, of course, the Budweiser plant is just bottling water, which is...
	Now there's a transition for you.
	What are you saying, John?
	It seems to me that I don't see the difference.
	Okay, we're going to stop bottling beer as water.
	Oh, did you tell the tasting room?
	I don't know any...
	Because no one has said anything.
	I do not know what you're talking about.
	What are you talking about?
	Budweiser.
	Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.
	It's a watery beer.
	There's a big plant down in Texas and they're bottling water instead of beer and they're giving the water to the people.
	Oh, see, I didn't know this.
	Oh, I thought you did.
	No, I didn't.
	Okay, so alright, I gotcha.
	There's the joke.
	There's a joke in there that you managed to mangle.
	Thank you.
	I didn't understand what you were talking about.
	I know now.
	All right.
	So yeah, definitely know that what you're seeing on the TV, and this will move away pretty quickly.
	You know, they'll move off of it, and we'll move...
	I guess we'll go back to Trump.
	And what are we on now?
	Are we on nuclear code still, or have we gotten back to something else?
	No, no, we're back to North Korea.
	Oh, we're back to North Korea.
	Oh, by the way, I got a short version of the...
	You can play the North Korea lady and get a short ISO. It's not long enough, because they wouldn't play long enough.
	A fiery spray of exhaust as a...
	North Korea lady ISO. Oh, I'm sorry.
	Everything is nicely titled.
	Gee, why did I expect that to be so different from the first one we had?
	That's a good one, though.
	What is she saying?
	She's saying, hey.
	Somebody knows what she's saying and they will tell us, I hope.
	I want about five minutes of her.
	It's got to be on the satellite or somewhere, some way of getting that.
	She's great.
	She's got this great presentation.
	Okay, well, here's the latest.
	This is NBC on North Korea and the odd contradiction.
	They're trying to make a story where there's no story.
	Turning to the threat overseas from North Korea and the mixed signals the Trump administration is sending after the latest missile launch by the regime.
	President Trump issuing a tough new message to North Korea today, only to be contradicted by his own defense secretary.
	NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel is in South Korea tonight and has more.
	North Korea's latest missile launch over Japan now has Kim Jong-un and President Trump trading threats.
	North Korea over state media.
	Today, saying more missile launches are coming and could, as threatened before, be pointed at the U.S. territory of Guam.
	And President Trump over social media, tweeting the U.S. has been talking to North Korea and paying them extortion money for 25 years.
	Talking is not the answer.
	President Trump is apparently referring to Clinton-era negotiations that failed to curb North Korea's nuclear ambitions, talks that often ended with aid payments.
	But just hours after the president's tweet, Defense Secretary Mattis chimed in, seeming to contradict the president.
	We're never out of diplomatic solutions.
	It leaves U.S. policy confused by a 140-character burst, and that could be dangerous when it comes to North Korea.
	We are never out of diplomatic conversations.
	That's the massive...
	That is, if you listen to the beginning of that report, that's what amounts to a huge...
	They're contradicting each other.
	Are you kidding me?
	Yeah.
	This whole...
	Did you see any video that looked like it was fresh video of this?
	I mean, do we really know this took place?
	We don't even know this.
	No.
	That was my...
	The whole thing could be a scam.
	I'm wondering.
	I'm wondering.
	It's like everyone has little maps and stuff, but before we had...
	We'd see the rocket launch.
	We'd hear the rocket launch.
	It might have been file footage, but now it was...
	Maybe I saw a file footage, but no one...
	How did they miss it?
	I know that, is it ABC or NBC? Someone has people in Pyongyang, reporters on the ground.
	Well, I don't know which one of the networks says you're right.
	I think it's CBS, actually.
	But here's the other report.
	This is the North Korea, and of course, they have to slip Hawaii.
	Hold on, John.
	Hold on a second.
	While we're doing the report, we've got to launch a missile once in a while.
	There you go.
	Yeah.
	It will.
	Mm-hmm.
	You could have just launched the missile.
	All right, all right, all right.
	What are we doing now?
	Announced it.
	North Korea, Hawaii again.
	A fiery spray of exhaust as a defensive missile was test-launched from a U.S. warship.
	Successfully intercepting a medium-range ballistic missile set aloft from nearby Kauai.
	A long-planned test that could not have come at a more perfect time.
	North Korea today boasting of its own missile test, launched just days ago, crossing over Japanese territory before falling into the sea.
	Kim Jong-un calling it, quote, a meaningful prelude containing Guam, where thousands of U.S. forces are based.
	President Trump has warned North Korea that any threat to the U.S. will be met with fire and fury.
	Today, he appeared to double down on a military option, tweeting that talking is not the answer. .
	Okay, wait a minute.
	How is saying talking's not the answer doubling down on fire and fury?
	It's not.
	It's not.
	But they always like to use, there's a theme, this is one of these, we should put it on our list of Trump stuff.
	Although it's not quite a criticism of him necessarily.
	But they're always saying he's doubling.
	They find him saying something kind of awkward or stupid.
	And then the next thing he says, that amounts to him doubling down.
	In other words, he won't back off on anything he ever does or says he doesn't back off.
	He doubles down.
	Yes, doubling down.
	Now here's what concerned me about this report.
	Do we have a missile test center on Kauai?
	That's what this report indicates.
	Could be.
	They say they're testing the missile defense system after they launched a medium-range missile from Kauai.
	Now, anyone who goes to the Hawaiian Islands at all knows that Kauai is one of the smaller and very quaint little islands That is a tourist attraction, not as much as Maui or the Big Island or Oahu, but it's there and it's cool and it's nice and it's got a little town and all the rest.
	I didn't know there was a missile test center where they could launch missiles.
	And why, with all of the things that have been said and everything that we supposedly have, why didn't anything go up?
	Are we not protecting Japan?
	Should we not have stuff flying?
	If it really happened, wouldn't stuff automatically just pop off?
	And then, oh, we're going to, you know, iron dome-like and then bring it out of the sky?
	I would, you know, I've kind of asked myself the same question.
	How come, and this one supposedly flew over Japan and there was air-raised sirens going off?
	There's a lot of reports on this.
	I only have these few clips.
	Although, also, what not found...
	Is any reporting, any video, even YouTube, maybe someone can find it, because I did look, of the sirens going off.
	That is usually when the sirens go off, there's people on the street with their phones going, oh, sirens.
	Or in this case, siren!
	Siren!
	Just to be a little racist.
	Adam at Curry.com.
	Just to throw in some racism.
	Adam at Curry.com.
	Seriously!
	I agree.
	They would get that footage in, and that footage would be used in these reports.
	False flag!
	But again, the bigger question, I think, is the right question.
	Why, since they have all these missile defense systems, this thing was headed to Japan.
	Why didn't they knock it out of the air?
	Or even, just give me something that helps me understand what happened, because I'm just not seeing it.
	They're going to bring this back to the fore, try to get this back to the top of the news day.
	You know, you can just tell, because the flooding things, the story is so interesting at so many levels that they end up chewing 20, or I'd say 20 minutes out of the half-hour news segment on the flooding and the human interest part of it, because it's better than anything else.
	Yeah.
	But you know they're gritting their teeth about Trump.
	Yeah.
	Well, they're trying to pin it.
	Whenever they can pin something on them, then take advantage of the opportunity.
	Which is understandable, I guess.
	Meanwhile...
	Well, actually, I have a little rundown, just since it will be coming up.
	Let me see.
	This was the MSNBC... Oh, yes.
	MSNBC is leading the charge, cutting away from Hurricane Harvey, and they have a rundown...
	Something we've never mentioned.
	Does anybody find that the name Hurricane Harvey is silly?
	No.
	I find Harvey is not like a...
	I don't know.
	I like the olden days.
	What do you mean?
	They were all girls?
	Before they had these dumb names for these.
	They used to have, you know...
	For one thing, it used to be only women that were named after them.
	You don't know this problem.
	Well, that's what I just said.
	Because they were only women?
	But to be correct, you should say girls.
	Just say girls.
	That's even cooler.
	Girls.
	Girls.
	I don't know.
	I just found that I think the Harvey name.
	I forgot to hang up my phone.
	Okay, well, tell what you're going to say and I'll go do that.
	Yeah, I was going to play a little bit of MSNBC who are ramping up to get ready for the next round of Trump coverage.
	And what they're focusing on is the latest from Mueller.
	And somehow they have all, they have sources, I believe they have three sources, who tell them exactly what Mueller is focusing on now.
	And boy, it's a humdinger!
	Three big new reports about the Russia investigation.
	First, new tonight, NBC News reports exclusively that Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is asking if Trump tried to hide the purpose of that now-famous Trump Tower meeting on June 9th, 2016.
	They're looking at the statement that Donald Trump Jr.
	released after the meeting with the Russian attorney and others became public knowledge and asking how much of it the president wrote.
	According to three sources, prosecutors want to know what the president knew about the meeting and whether he sought to conceal its purpose.
	Trump's lawyer called the president's role in crafting the response, quote, minimal.
	Now, that story comes on the heels of a New York Times report about a Trump associate who The Times obtained copies of emails in which the business associate, Felix Sater, writes, Those messages were reportedly sent to Trump's lawyer, this man, Michael Cohen.
	The copies do not show whether Cohen responded.
	Cohen said in a statement to Congress that Sater is prone to, quote, salesmanship.
	Cohen is also the subject of a third story, a Washington Post report that says Cohen asked for a Putin aide to help out on a business deal.
	It says, quote, a top executive from Donald Trump's real estate company emailed Vladimir Putin's personal spokesman during the U.S. presidential campaign last year to ask for help advancing a stalled Trump Tower development project in Moscow, according to documents submitted to Congress on Monday.
	Cohen says the Trump Organization has reviewed countless real estate development opportunities.
	The Moscow proposal was rejected.
	He added, to the best of his knowledge, Trump was never in contact with anyone about it other than Cohen on three different occasions.
	The Trump Organization says it has never had any real estate holdings or interests in Russia.
	All of this, as it unfolds, there's new breaking news for this White House to deal with.
	North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile toward Japan this evening.
	The Prime Minister of Japan called the action reckless, unprecedented, and a significant threat.
	Also, it's now an unidentified missile.
	They always know exactly what it is.
	Anyway, all this Mueller stuff, that all sounds like new stuff.
	What happened to hacking the election?
	Yes, well, of course, we knew that was going to happen.
	I want to ask you something.
	This guy says Mueller, and we say Mueller.
	Is it Mueller or Mueller?
	I like Mueller better because then you can do the Mueller thing.
	But he's apparently a trained professional.
	He works for a big network.
	He should have the pronunciation guide in front of him.
	He should have flipped the pages and looked at the name, and they came back with Mueller.
	Yeah, I'm really not sure.
	I really don't know.
	We say Mueller, maybe Mueller.
	Bob Mueller.
	It's probably Mueller.
	Probably.
	But that doesn't matter.
	It seems like all this new stuff and did the president write this memo.
	How is any of that really important?
	They introduced a new guy.
	The guy that was spearheading the election.
	Was his name Stiles?
	I don't know.
	Stiller?
	What was his name?
	I don't remember.
	Steele.
	No.
	Steal us from the report.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	That's the whole point.
	It's like, really?
	This is just more stuff that never pans out.
	I'd love to see them have something.
	I'd love to go down the path.
	I'd love to find out what's going to happen.
	But they got nothing.
	They really don't.
	Okay.
	Just a little side note here.
	McCain's going back.
	I didn't know this.
	Only one network reported on it.
	McCain's going back for batteries, apparently.
	A new headline tonight about Senator John McCain, the senator undergoing treatment for brain cancer.
	His office releasing a statement late today saying McCain will return to Washington next week when Congress goes back into session.
	I want to remind people that when McCain ran for president against Obama in 2008, they said he was too old and he's going to die.
	This guy's never going to die.
	And the thing is, his mom, I believe, is still alive.
	McCain's mom?
	Yeah, if I'm not mistaken.
	Wow.
	She was alive in 2008, I know, and I don't remember her dying because it would have said something.
	Hmm.
	So I think he's, you know, a lizard.
	Yes.
	Oh, man.
	Speaking of such, now on the 29th floor here in the common law condo, the crickets have appeared.
	Crickets, grasshoppers, 29th floor.
	I didn't know they could jump or fly or...
	They can jump 29 floors.
	They jump that high.
	They just jump up the steps.
	Very interesting.
	I'm expecting, yes, end of days.
	We've got the fire ants.
	So you have, yeah, I love the ants.
	No, these fire ants in Texas do not love them.
	They can mess you up.
	Oh, no, they'll kill you.
	Yeah, they can kill you, yes.
	Well, of course, if you see a big ball of them floating around, all you need is some laundry detergent and you just get it over there.
	Then it breaks up the surface tension and they all drown.
	I mean, that's what you should do.
	I imagine the other thing, which is that you end up with...
	There goes the Zephyr, by the way.
	Take a note of the time.
	The other thing that I've always imagined I think would be a good scene in a movie, because there are going to be some movies about this flood.
	So the fire ants are coming at your house, and here they're heading your way.
	And so you douse them with some lighter fluid.
	You light them on fire.
	And then the burning ants actually, then a wave comes up and throws the burning ball of ants into your house and burns it to the ground.
	That's a scene for anyone.
	It's a free scene for anybody who's writing scripts.
	I like it.
	Hey, we could write it.
	We could do it.
	In a world where ants rule, this is Hurricane Harvey.
	I'm feeling it.
	Now, are these bugs up in your apartment?
	On the balcony.
	They're on the balcony?
	Yeah.
	How did they get to the balcony?
	Thank you.
	I don't know.
	Did they fall from the sky, perhaps?
	That's the end times.
	I mean, the hurricane picks up a lot of stuff and drops it later.
	I asked the grasshopper and the cricket, and they said, yeah, the locust had a day off.
	He's doing whatever he can.
	I have to imagine there's cockroaches everywhere.
	I haven't seen those yet.
	I haven't seen those yet.
	I have a little package about Antifa and Black Block and Berkeley.
	Okay, I do have, if you don't have it, I do have the new jingle, which I think is the gem of all gems.
	You have a jingle and you have it and I don't?
	Oh, it's not a jingle that's written.
	This is what they're chanting.
	It's a chant.
	Oh, I have the chant.
	Of course I have the chant.
	You have the chant.
	I have the chant.
	As long as my chant.
	Let me see your chant.
	What's it titled?
	No Trump, No Wall, No USA at all.
	You just gave away the ending.
	Eh.
	Yeah, there it is.
	No Trump, no wall, no USA at all.
	Now, do they mean they just don't want a United States of America?
	No, these are the globalists.
	You're the one that brought this up.
	They're the no-borders people.
	I'm doing a JCD. I'm just being a rhetorical question.
	I'm doing an Adam.
	The roles have switched.
	That's right, switched.
	A new movie.
	Yeah, there's a lot of weirdness about this particular thing.
	Because now we see left media, leftist media, also reporting on the violence which came from the large group of...
	They're not even saying counter-protesters now.
	That has changed.
	Now they're saying Antifa.
	I have not actually heard any news report where someone said black bloc.
	And they are two different things, possibly, apparently.
	But the Antifa leaders had a press conference, a little presser.
	A little presser?
	Yeah, because they were upset about a number of things.
	The first thing I think they should be upset about is the guy who organized this Patriot speech rally, Gibson.
	Was it Jimmy Gibson?
	Johnny Gibson?
	Mel Gibson.
	Mel Gibson.
	Well, he's a black guy.
	He's a black guy.
	And he was the organizer.
	I think it's Johnny Gibson.
	Well, it's in one of these reports.
	The Gibson.
	The Gibson brothers.
	And, you know, there were trans people speaking and gay people and white people, black people, indigenous people, all kinds of people were speaking.
	And it was just violence, and everyone saw it.
	But there was also the same thing that started happening in Scandinavia, where Antifa is saying, hey, journalists, go away.
	We don't want you filming.
	We don't want you filming.
	Respect our privacy while we're beating up on these people.
	Respect our privacy.
	So it's starting to slip in a little bit.
	You're starting to see news reports about, well, these guys are kind of violent, which is interesting that, you know, no one says, hey, maybe the president was a little bit right.
	So here's some local press coverage up in your area, John, of the presser done by Antifa.
	And I actually found a copy of the full presser and pulled a couple of clips so we can enjoy what is really being said.
	Here's the local reporters.
	Well, they wanted to clear some things up about what happened yesterday as thousands of people covered this block here at Civic Center Park across the street from where I am right now.
	They also said that some of the reports and published pictures and videos were things that they didn't like about them.
	The near chaos in Martin Luther King Park Sunday wasn't as bad as it could have been.
	There was very little opposition to the anti-hate demonstrators and those who did oppose them got run out of the park.
	But some of the confrontations we did tell you about Sunday didn't sit well with the anti-fascist movement.
	It is not always about the violence and that's why we're here asking you as media representation to not focus on that all the time.
	I don't have too much confidence that you're not going to lead with the bleeding stuff.
	As a reminder, this story led with this.
	Not bloody, but still pretty heavy stuff.
	Antifa leader Alex Huynh says things went as she had envisioned them Sunday, though she expressed remorse for people who may have been attacked and acknowledged that a few people at the rally made bad choices.
	As for the crowd chasing away Patriot prayer organizer Joey Gibson, I'm not justifying it.
	I'm human-naturing it in the sense that if somebody is in your face and going, because they think they can, because they're privileged, we cannot take this lightly in San Francisco.
	Berkeley College Republicans saw the whole thing differently.
	Every single person that was even...
	You know, slightly seemed like they were conservative or marginally attached to Donald Trump or supportive of the president.
	They ran after them, chased after them and beat them up.
	U.N. claims BlackBlock doesn't want a violent identifier, but there's no denying violence happened at the park.
	Another Berkeley College Republican says someone started hitting the car she was in with a pipe.
	They were throwing people, they were kicking people to the ground.
	had to get out of there people on each side of the confrontation will likely remember things playing out very differently for years to come and Tifa leaders to say that the whole thing yesterday was one long line of love now at last count there were 13 people arrested and at least six people hurt two of them badly enough to go to the hospital in that long line of love yes I was very interested in hearing the little bits that I heard from the Antifa representatives
	And you can already hear kind of a little bit of snark there from the journalists.
	One long line of love, but meanwhile.
	So I went in and I found this.
	They did about 20-25 minutes and poorly attended.
	I think there were three press outfits who were listening.
	Only one journalist asking any questions.
	And I want to play a couple of clips from this.
	And the No Agenda show is really uniquely suited for doing this.
	As you heard, even though that was a pretty long report, topped out almost two minutes, you really don't get any context of what was going on.
	There's a lot of just violence, yelling, that's why it's not...
	You don't even see the video.
	You're just listening to it.
	It's just a lot of noise.
	Let's go in deep and really listen to what's being said.
	So here is one of the two speakers and saying a number of things which we'll come back to.
	Holding up professional signs, professionally printed signs, no to fascism, resistfascism.org, and we'll talk about that as well.
	And so, what I would say to that question about whether or not people should be afraid, I would say they are trying to create a very scary situation.
	It is scary.
	You know, they have...
	He just pardoned Joe Arpaio, who was a convicted racist.
	Just gotta stop once in a while.
	He's convicted, but I don't think he was convicted of racism.
	He's a convicted racist?
	That's what she said.
	He's a convicted racist.
	And remember, she's talking about that people should be afraid of the group that was there, which was Joey.
	Joey Gibson, the black man and his band of cripples.
	That's the way he portrays it on Tucker every time.
	But yeah, we have to be very afraid because, I don't know, Donald Trump pardoned a convicted racist.
	Hmm.
	You know, a sheriff, right?
	He has his finger on the button.
	He's got his finger on the button.
	These people, you're hearing the talking points from the media.
	You are hearing the mind control.
	You know, you have a situation where Steve Bannon is coming to Berkeley and Milo and Coulter.
	They are trying to make Berkeley ground zero for their whole fascist agenda.
	Okay, I just love the idea of Milo in a fascist suit with a Nazi uniform.
	He probably would too.
	Yeah, I'm sure he has it in the closet.
	But not for the purposes of fascism.
	No, but listen to this.
	They're talking about Milo and Ann Coulter and Steve Bannon trying to make Berkeley the center of their fascist movement.
	Yeah, that makes nothing but sense.
	Exactly.
	And so there's a reason why they come to Berkeley, and there's a reason why the barrier with this rich history of resistance is standing up to say no.
	And we move forward from today.
	We move forward from this righteous resistance to November 4th.
	November 4th, remember that date.
	We will, in all of our diversity, in all of our different beliefs, come out in the streets and build resistance.
	And we won't be afraid, because people tell us to be afraid.
	And we're asking for everybody who saw that, everybody who was there, to tell those stories.
	And we're asking for the media and the journalists to tell those stories too.
	Now you hear, this is the one journalist who's in the background, he's trying to get a word in.
	And he'll just listen along.
	To tell those stories.
	And we're asking for the media and the journalists to tell those stories too.
	And not to do sensationalizing.
	And if it bleeds, it leads type of journalism.
	We are in a moment here where the very fate of this country hangs in the balance.
	And we cannot have a situation where people are being scared off by the media.
	We know that that's going to happen, right?
	We've seen that happen this entire election cycle.
	It's very interesting.
	Well, hold on a second.
	You actually, I think you've stumbled onto a theme.
	And the theme is some people not listening.
	This started with Maxine Waters.
	Not Maxine Waters, but the other woman.
	Sheila Jackson Lee.
	Earlier in the program.
	And now we have this.
	It's the same thing.
	It's also black, by the way.
	If that has anything to do with it, I don't know.
	But this is the not listening thing that's going on.
	Oh, it's a big not listening thing.
	But also...
	Antifa is pissed at the media.
	And the entitlement of these people, this is the way I believe it is happening, the entitlement is we have the right for the news media to show what we're all about and not show what we're doing.
	And they feel somehow that they have the right to tell the media...
	Privilege.
	Privilege.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Yet they accuse Joey Gibson of having privilege.
	But let's listen.
	People are being scared off by the media.
	We know that that's going to happen, right?
	We've seen it happen this entire election cycle, right?
	Where people have been told that Trump was never going to win and that was a joke.
	That none of his policies were going to go through.
	So listen to this now.
	So...
	I'll just say Antifa because she's representing Antifa, is pissed that the media misinformed them about the election.
	Interesting.
	Told that Trump was never going to win and that was a joke.
	That none of his policies were going to go through and those were jokes.
	And that if he did get elected, you know, the courts would stop all this.
	And what we've come to realize in this last eight months and why we were having November 4th as a beginning of resistance that will not end until this Trump regime is gone, is that we have learned that they will go through with this entire agenda and every day they speed it up.
	And they have learned.
	I guess Antifa has learned they're going to go with this entire agenda.
	Not sure what it is.
	The existence that will not end until this Trump regime is gone is that we have learned that they will go through with this entire agenda.
	And every day they speed it up.
	And only the people ourselves can stop it.
	And yesterday, to me, was one of the most beautiful displays of power of the people I have seen in all of my years of activism.
	And I want to celebrate that.
	And I want to celebrate the clergy who came out and blessed the activists.
	I want to celebrate the youth who came out from their black blocs, who defended the perimeter and had restraint for almost that whole day.
	Alright, so here she is commending her brothers and sisters of the black bloc for having the courage to come out and defend the line for almost the whole day.
	She welcomes clergy.
	Yet when we go to refusefascism.org, not resist, but refusefascism.org, I would just like to read a little bit about their feelings about the Trump-Pence regime, as they call it, and that it needs to be removed.
	In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept the fascist America.
	Drive out the Trump-Pence regime.
	The Trump-Pence regime is a fascist regime.
	Not insult or exaggeration.
	This is what it is.
	For the future of humanity and the planet, we, the people, must drive this regime out.
	Donald Trump and Mike Pence have assembled a vicious cabal that has put forth positions and begun initiatives which demonstrate that they fully intend to shred political and social norms with catastrophic consequence.
	Because Trump has his finger on the nuclear trigger, the Trump-Pence regime is more dangerous to the world than even Hitler.
	I mean, that's...
	What a paragraph, right there.
	We jammed it all in, including him.
	Dynamite.
	Fascism has direction and momentum.
	Dissent is piece by piece criminalized.
	The truth is bludgeoned.
	Group after group is demonized and targeted along a trajectory that leads to real horrors.
	All of this has already begun under the Trump regime.
	History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late.
	And now let me, there's a lot here.
	I'm going to go down.
	The Trump-Pence regime will repeatedly launch new, highly repressive measures, eventually clamping down on all resistance and remaking the law if they are not driven from power.
	And here's a classic.
	Who doesn't conform or submit to their vision and plan for a nation cohered around white supremacy and a political form of Christian fundamentalism that should rightly be called Christian fascism.
	And this is something I wanted to bring to the table, because it's not recognized in the message yet.
	Clergy's welcome, as long as they're not Christians.
	This is a real attack in calling Mike Pence a Christian fascist.
	Christian fascism.
	I don't think this is understood that there's a big...
	I don't think this has even been noted yet.
	This is coming.
	And it's all over.
	What you've done is you've done the no-agenda trick of finding out something way in advance of it actually happening.
	So...
	A couple of things I wanted to do before you continue, obviously, is the interesting irony here, and it was heard in this woman screeching.
	By the way, they don't obviously know what a press conference is where you're supposed to take questions.
	Anyway, so she's going on and on while this journalist is complaining, and then she makes mention that the media is complicit with Trump.
	That's what she said.
	Pretty much.
	And it was...
	Oh, that's the interesting irony that must really gall the...
	The journalists.
	Intel agencies behind the whole scam.
	CIA. Mockingbird, you mean.
	Yes.
	Of course.
	It's failing.
	What?
	Oh, brother.
	Who's giving these people money?
	And I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
	Continue, please.
	On November 4th is when they want to take to the streets...
	As long as it takes, and the reference goes all the way back to Occupy.
	It's the same people.
	It's the same people funding it.
	It goes all the way back to Occupy.
	And how everyone needs to take to the streets starting November 4th.
	I'm not quite sure why November 4th was chosen.
	5th would have been funnier, because that would be Guy Fawkes Day.
	How about the 4th being the Election Day?
	Was it November 4th Election Day?
	Yeah, and that would be the anniversary of getting in.
	Well, there you go.
	They don't mention that, interestingly enough.
	Well, they don't have to.
	Okay, so let's get back to the journalist, and the journalist makes a surprising admission, and he's very hurt, he's butthurt, that he got attacked while trying to document the workings of Antifa.
	That we will not stop, we won't be scared, and we'll come back out, and we'll come together with clergy and students and activists, revolutionaries and anarchists and communists and socialists, with everybody from all different walks of life, from Bernie bros to Hillary people, to say, no, we refuse to live in a fascist America.
	Why were journalists attacked is the question.
	I'm not quite sure, in your situation, what happened.
	I was standing there when that happened.
	Now note, she says, I was standing there when that happened.
	Unless I misunderstand what she's saying.
	No, that's what she said.
	All right.
	That's what she said.
	By the way, I love the fact that she used the term commies.
	Did you notice that?
	Yeah, of course I did.
	Everything except white old guys.
	I don't think we're included in the list.
	We're out.
	We're not invited.
	I'm not quite sure in your situation what happened.
	I was standing there when that happened.
	So I'm not quite sure why you were told to put your camera away.
	I'm sorry.
	I was running over filming you guys leaving the park over here, and one woman approached me, blocked my camera, was pretty in my face about it, and I'd had enough of that kind of thing for that day, and then she called for other people to surround me.
	Like, hey, can we have some muscle over here?
	Sound familiar?
	I'm a journalist.
	That was intimidating, and there were tons of other people filming.
	Can I ask a clarifying question?
	Were you in the middle of Black Box?
	No.
	Then I'm not quite sure.
	Because generally for Black Box, that is something that is chosen not to have done.
	But why do you assault people?
	Why do you?
	Wait, clarify your question.
	They're trying to report.
	But you said you.
	You said, why do you assault people?
	So clarify that.
	Why just the group?
	Because you were standing right there, maybe?
	I've been to a number of these, and it's pretty sketchy to be around a black block with a camera.
	I wish we had a black block brother and sister here.
	I can't answer that question.
	I think we have to get that answer for you.
	That's what people want to know.
	They want to know why violence happens.
	That's why we're here, is so people don't dwell on the violence.
	And there again, you're bringing it back.
	We came together because that is...
	That's what matters to viewers.
	Oh, well, sorry.
	What matters to the human race is that we show compassion and love.
	It is not always about the violence, and that's why we're here asking you as media representation to not focus on that all the time.
	There are so many other beautiful patches of things that...
	I mean, I'm sorry.
	Love and inclusion.
	You attacked him yesterday.
	If you want to focus on the violence...
	Then that's you and your station.
	I'm left.
	I'm on the left.
	I'm a liberal and I'm questioning your methods because Joey Gibson professes...
	My message.
	Don't put it as you.
	Put it as one.
	Joey Gibson was attacked yesterday.
	He expresses love and inclusion.
	Absolutely.
	And that is the wrong one.
	Absolutely.
	So let's get something clear.
	Absolutely.
	Let's get something really clear.
	Absolutely.
	And BlackRock are not the same.
	Okay, Antifa and Black Block are not the same, she says.
	She's very clear, even though the journalist says no Black Block attacked him with Antifa.
	Doesn't matter, they also talked about their fine brothers and sisters from Black Block.
	You gotta be a little more clear exactly who's who.
	Clear.
	Antifa and Black Block are not the same.
	Did she say Antifa?
	I've heard this three times now, and every time I'm like, nah, I'm just hearing it wrong.
	Is there another group?
	Absolutely.
	So let's get something clear.
	Absolutely.
	Let's get something really clear.
	Anifa and Black Bar.
	That's what she said.
	What is Anifa?
	Is that something different?
	I think it may be the pronunciation that we talked about numerous times on the show where you dropped a T in the middle of a word.
	Huh.
	We went to a meeting.
	A meeting?
	No, we didn't go to a meeting.
	We went to a meeting.
	Meeting.
	Meeting.
	A meeting.
	A meeting.
	Yet it's important.
	I don't know.
	Anifa.
	Well, she's talking about Anifa and I'm seeing a hashtag Anifa.
	So it's something maybe Anifa.
	Oh, you see Anifa.
	A hashtag Anifa.
	Yes.
	Ooh.
	So what is Anifa?
	This must be a fork.
	A fork?
	It's a fork.
	Yes.
	A fork.
	All right.
	Let's listen to the last 15 seconds here.
	Are not the same.
	Let's start identifying who is who and using the right terminology.
	This is where your research has to be important.
	Because then people get labeled and it's not fair.
	People get labeled and it's not fair, says the person who's calling people Nazis and KKK and white nationalists.
	Seriously.
	Seriously.
	Now, we'll wrap it up here with this press conference.
	Remember, this is all about November 4th.
	We'll read a little bit more about that from their website in a moment.
	But now, this is kind of going back to that original port with the full statement about Anifa, Antifa, Black Bloc, attacking Joey Bishop, black guy who organized this rally.
	Your question about why Joey was attacked.
	Thank you.
	Joey?
	I'm sorry that people get attacked in general, but when you come in the middle of 10,000 people that are already amped up and really hate what you stand for and have a freaking nerve to walk right through the Antifa people and the black-black people like he owns our ground, then yes, people are going to ask him to leave.
	Followed him out.
	And yes, he started saying things that he shouldn't have been saying.
	And yes, one of our youth threw something at him.
	But that was the extent of it.
	I'm not quite sure where you got that he got beat up.
	Because when you look at the footage and any footage that we have, he goes right into the police department that's right here on Addison Street.
	They had their portable station.
	And he goes right through their line.
	Now, this is what I'm saying.
	The antagonistic actions of these people and the bold behavior that they take brings on, just brings on being antagonized.
	You can only take it so much.
	Okay, so really what I'm hearing her say is, whatever Joey Bishop said, the black man who organized this, That was wrong, and he should have known better because when you say antagonistic things, you're going to get beat up.
	That is the long line of love.
	He justifies it.
	I'm not justifying it.
	I'm human-naturing it.
	Human-naturing it?
	Okay.
	Yeah, human nature, justification.
	Yeah.
	In the sense that if somebody is in your face and going, because they think they can, because they're privileged, And because they feel that this land they want to take back or whatever their reason is, on his pages he says, let's win Berkeley.
	What the hell does that mean?
	Let's win Berkeley.
	As if this is something for somebody to take.
	We cannot take this lightly in San Francisco.
	And I have no idea why one person has gathered this much negative energy to where we spend tens of thousands of our tax dollars Battling their nonsense.
	So, this was very troubling what she just said.
	She, we, she said, are spending tens of thousands of dollars of our tax dollars battling people like Joey.
	Is she getting funded by the government?
	The hell is that supposed to mean?
	It could just be...
	Well, the reporters were there.
	One of them must have asked.
	Please.
	Oh, please.
	No, of course not.
	It was weird.
	There's something else that's kind of baffling to me.
	This is a black woman.
	Yes.
	When you saw this action at Evergreen, it was a black woman.
	When you saw the action at Yale, it was a black woman.
	I was at a little...
	picking up the mail for the show and doing some other stuff, and there's a little group of activists mixed up.
	Ethnic groups and there was a black woman leading them and she was...
	And she said something like, this is how it's going to be.
	And she was very strong-willed, CEO-like.
	There were always black women.
	Where's the black men in this regard?
	Joey Bishop.
	Joey Bishop was the black man.
	Well, he's on the other side.
	Well, there you go.
	I'm talking about this side of the argument.
	These black women, and there's always black women, and you see these black women a couple years ago when there was that action for safe spaces.
	It was a screaming black woman.
	Very erudite black women that have obviously been trained to be this good.
	I mean this is like CEO training.
	It's like the Kleiner Perkins school of CEOs.
	And it's always black women.
	There's no black men.
	There's no Chinese women.
	There's no white women as a matter of fact.
	It's just these women.
	What's going on with that?
	And where's our black audience we used to have?
	We'd lost most of them because of that.
	Incognigro is gone, I guess.
	Incognigro is gone.
	He'd be good at telling us something.
	But we need some insight to this because I'm noticing this is a major trend as far as I'm concerned.
	All the leaders of all these groups, black women, angry black women.
	And by the way, angry black women is used as, oh, you said angry black women.
	That is a slur.
	Did you mean it as a slur?
	Not at the time.
	Okay.
	Patrice Cullors is a co-founder of Black Lives Matter.
	Now, the black guy who is the co-founder, we don't see him anymore.
	No, he's out.
	He's out.
	Yeah, he's out.
	Here she is talking about her motivation.
	We wouldn't, as a movement, take a seat at the table with Trump because we wouldn't have done that with Hitler.
	Trump is literally the epitome of evil.
	All the evils of this country, be it racism, capitalism, sexism, homophobia, resist him and to resist every single policy that he's implemented that impacts our communities.
	And I think if I'm thinking about what I want my children to know in 30, 40, 50 years, I want them to know that I resisted a president at all costs because this president literally tried to kill our communities.
	He literally tried to kill our communities.
	And we would never sit down with Hitler.
	I mean, yeah, I've heard the media say all this, but historically, really, your claim doesn't hold water.
	But here's what's going to be done about it.
	This nightmare must end, and in the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.
	Now, they have a list of nightmares that must end.
	Okay.
	And I think you'll recognize most of these.
	You're probably on our list.
	Mm-hmm.
	A nightmare.
	Immigrants living in terror.
	Their next stop could mean detention, deportation, being torn from children and loved ones.
	Yeah.
	A nightmare.
	Muslims and refugees demonized, banned, and cast out.
	Sure.
	A nightmare.
	Millions, children, the elderly, disabled, the sick, the poor, denied health care, food assistance, and the very right to live.
	Man, that Trump is a dick.
	A nightmare.
	Women objectified, degraded, and denied the basic right to control their own production with fundamentalist Christian fascism increasingly being made law.
	This is a big one, people.
	I'm telling you, this Christian fascism thing is something going on.
	A nightmare.
	LGBTQ people stigmatized, ostracized, and denied civil rights recently won.
	I think that's the bathroom thing.
	Black and Latino people openly threatened by the president with maximum sentencing, stop and frisk going national, intensified police brutality and murder of our youth with no holds barred.
	And nightmare, people all over the world facing bombings, occupations, war and the threat of nuclear war with Donald Trump's America First finger on the nuclear trigger.
	A nightmare, the truth bludgeoned, lies and more lies, critical thinking being destroyed in education and public discourse.
	A nightmare, the whole planet in peril from a regime that denies global warming and shreds all environmental protections.
	And a nightmare, a regime step-by-step discarding basic democratic rights, targeting group after group, and suppressing dissent and resistance.
	A regime unleashing the violence of white supremacists, anti-Semites, and fascist thugs.
	This is fascism, a qualitative change in how society is governed.
	History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late.
	I would say that if you're really stupid, you'd probably buy into that list as a, oh my god, we gotta resist.
	Resist we much.
	On November 4th, we will gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across the country.
	At first, many thousands declaring that this whole regime is illegitimate, and we will not stop until our single demand is met.
	This nightmare must end.
	The Trump-Pence regime must go.
	Our protests must grow day after day and night after night, thousands becoming hundreds of thousands, then millions determined to act to put a stop to the grave danger that the Trump-Pence regime poses to the world by demanding that this whole regime be removed from power.
	And so I read the whole website.
	I looked at all of their documents and articles.
	Nowhere do they actually have any plans to remove...
	No, this is just a...
	This is...
	I don't know.
	It could be part of the scheme to keep Trump in the news to the point where you can get more Democrats in, which is what the real goal might be.
	But I like the way they're doing the...
	We're associating Trump and Pence together.
	Yes.
	So if anybody makes the argument, which I was always making, which was, do you want Trump out?
	Do you want him impeached?
	Do you want him to get him impeached when?
	Because otherwise you're going to end up with a dominionist as president for the next 10 years.
	You get Pence.
	You mean the Christian fascist?
	I like it.
	I like what they've done.
	I like that they've done the Christian fascist thing.
	I think it's very, it's a wise, it's sharp, it's creative.
	Professionals doing this.
	Someone professional is doing this for sure.
	And they're good at it.
	I still have my problems with these spokespeople.
	And I'm now getting, I'm having a problem that all of them, with no exceptions that I can think of, are black women who seem to have been trained in rhetoric.
	Right.
	There was one enlightening moment this past week, and then we need to definitely thank some people.
	And that came on the Bill Maher show, Real Time with Bill Maher.
	Very enlightening.
	And you could hear the audience.
	It was uncomfortable for the audience.
	I chopped this way down, because there were gay jokes in there.
	It didn't matter, really.
	Frank Bruni, who writes for the New York Times, had written several columns that Bill Maher liked a lot.
	And I liked it, too!
	You have written two columns that were such music to my ears.
	The first one was called, I'm a white man, hear me out.
	You hear the crowd, it's like...
	What about this new phenomenon that as a white man somehow we're just disqualified for being in the debate and somebody's got to speak up for the white men without the tiki torches.
	I mean, we still have something to offer.
	No, no, no.
	All white men have tiki torches.
	We're all white nationalists.
	We are the patriarchy.
	Must be toppled.
	We're KKK. We're Nazis.
	Absolutely, yeah.
	Alright, we'll talk about it.
	I wrote that because there are a lot of debates that happen these days.
	I mean, you've listened to them.
	I think you've commented on them.
	Where you get the message that if you are not part of a minority group, if you haven't suffered in that exact way, you can't possibly be empathetic and you can't possibly understand.
	And I think that's one of the things right now that divides us.
	I agreed with just about everything Reverend Jackson said.
	I'm a white person.
	And that needs to be acknowledged that I'm not the enemy.
	He's not saying I am, but often, you know, you go on Twitter.
	It's, of course, easy to talk about Twitter because it's such a flea market.
	But you go on Twitter and you see this sort of oppression Olympics, where if you are not as oppressed as I am...
	Then don't tell me you can be on my side.
	What I said in that column, I'm a white man and so a lot of people say you have nothing to say.
	I'm also a gay man.
	So that brings about this assumption that I have some experience.
	I am gay and so I understand perhaps what it means to be an outsider.
	Neither one of those things tells you anything about my character.
	My character is what matters, not what category I fit into.
	A category isn't a credential.
	Thank you very much.
	A little stereotype argument that seems to have been gone by the wayside.
	But it was nice.
	It was a moment of clarity.
	And the audience was very quiet.
	They said nothing.
	Shh, because we're talking about white men.
	We can't really be for them, but even though they might be making sense, we'll just be quiet.
	That's better, don't you think?
	Yeah.
	Don't want to make any waves.
	Well, who's financing this operation?
	With that question, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John, say, the C stands for Caucasian Dvorak.
	Well, I was going to say, in the morning to you, but since you did that teaser, I'm reluctant, but I'll do it anyway, and we'll get back to the question later, and then I have my pet peeve of the day, which happens to be exactly what you just did.
	I... In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the days and nights out there.
	In the morning to Martin J.J., who is back on the art generator.
	I hadn't seen him in a while.
	He brought us the album artwork for episode 9 or 5-9.
	Stay safe was the title of that.
	He had the MSM evacuation route signs, which is subtle, and we liked it.
	Yes.
	At least I liked it.
	I think you liked it too.
	I did.
	Well, I chose it.
	It's a veto system that we use.
	It is a veto system.
	And we appreciate Martin J.J. and all of the artists who contribute through noagendaartgenerator.com.
	That's where I give you the credit right up front and on the homepage.
	Again, thank you very much.
	I want to thank a few people for being...
	Producers, executive producers, and associate executive producers for shows of 950, 60, 960.
	960, that's right.
	What do you wait?
	Sir Duane, Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest, Duane Melanson to be exact, sent a note in on email.
	Hi, TM, gents, and happy birthday, Adam, for your 53rd.
	Here's a couple of 53s with an extra zero to make it more partyful.
	Nice!
	Thank you.
	On Sunday's show, I laughed out loud envisioning Adam sitting in a closet stuffed to the gills with clothes, yelling barely unintelligible flood updates through the megaphone while Christine's girlfriend listens to one side of that interaction.
	Thinking, I gotta break up with her.
	She's got a kooky family.
	The thought of it was hilarious, at least for me.
	Anyway, as always, I've been enjoying the analysis.
	Keep it up, and I hope the donations pick up now that the college football is starting up again.
	Oh, is there a correlation?
	The connection is between college football and our donations.
	I think it's just the summer doldrums.
	Please give karma to all the knights, and I'd love to hear a noodle boy and Sharpton talking about hubris.
	Uh, Hugh Breeze, I guess is what he says.
	If you can dig it up.
	I don't know if you can.
	I don't know if we ever had a Sharpton talking about Hugh Breeze.
	Hugh Breeze.
	I got some Hugh Breeze.
	You guys got Hugh Breeze.
	If not, any Sharpton flub will do, and you know, my favorite.
	Anyway, so Noodle Boy, Sharpton, and then a Karma to all the nights.
	Now, what is Noodle Boy?
	Noodle Boy?
	Yeah, we're not going to play the whole Noodle Boy clip.
	Well, that's true, but he'd love to hear, so maybe we can play at the end of the show, or sometime, whenever.
	You know what?
	I need to cut that down a little bit.
	It's like two and a half minutes.
	Yeah, why don't you cut it down, and that's what this will be about, you cutting down Noodle Boy.
	But resist, we much.
	We must, and we will much, about that.
	You've got karma.
	Nice intro.
	Nice.
	Anyway, so thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	A joyous birthday.
	One of our few Grand Dukes.
	And he's coming in with a nice amount for your birthday.
	5353, as a matter of fact.
	53530.
	Roy Pierce in Fort Pierce, Florida.
	A check came in in an envelope with no notes.
	So I think that's a no karma, no jingles.
	No karma, no jingles.
	All right.
	Thank you very much, Roy.
	334 for Roy.
	I think he's...
	Is he a knight yet?
	Robert Davila in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 33333.
	He says, this is the garbage truck going by.
	This donation brings me to knighthood.
	I would like to be known as Sir Zahn Jr.
	of the One Cat Army.
	Okay.
	I don't know.
	I need a vigorous dedouching and could use some extra job karma.
	I would also give him his dedouching on the fly.
	You've been dedouched.
	Like some extra job karma.
	I'd also like to hear my battle cry, Reverend R.L. Sharpton's Resist We Much.
	Ta-da!
	There you go.
	But resist we much.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Kieran Cassidy in Demir, Netherlands.
	33333.
	You can re-pronounce those if you feel like it.
	Is that a man or a girl's name?
	That's a good question, Kieran.
	I think it might be...
	I don't know.
	I cannot presume anyone's gender anymore.
	Kieran writes, fantastic stuff.
	One X karma for everyone.
	You've got karma.
	Mickey Keck.
	Sir Mickey Keck to you in Cincinnati.

	This producership and damehood accounting and pictures sent in separate email is for my smoking hot wife Joyce who turns 37 and becomes the dame.
	We have to make sure that she gets credit for this.
	Turns 37 and becomes the dame of the OTR. Name of the OTR. Full-time radio?
	I don't know.
	I would be in the Philippines during this show celebrating our 20th anniversary, and this guy's just party time.
	Yeah.
	She says the show gives her a headache.
	We had somebody else wrote in saying that they said they'll be back, they'll be back.
	The show's giving him a headache.
	Huh.
	Is it because we're not funny enough, or is it because the information is headache-inducing?
	I don't like that, by the way, to hear this.
	Yeah, that's a physical reaction to us.
	Because the show's not supposed to give you a headache.
	You're supposed to be happy and smiling and laughing.
	Yeah, you're supposed to feel good about everything after the show's over.
	So you listen to this.
	You don't want to dread the show.
	This is really concerning to me, by the way.
	Well, we'll find out more.
	I'm sure Sir Mickey will give us info.
	Yeah.
	Gives her a headache, but she enjoys the jingles and your medical talk.
	She's an art man.
	Got it.
	We'll be listening to the show while ducking Kim Jong-Yum-Yum's missiles.
	Keep protecting our sanity.
	Give her a dedouching.
	You can do that right away.
	Oh, okay.
	You've been de-douched.
	And a Maxine Waters, My Millennials, and a Charlie Rose sexual DNA. All right, sir, make a kick.
	My Millennials, stay woke!
	Tell me about the sexuality.
	It's in your DNA. Yes.
	Deed.
	Olga Mulder.
	Did you draw a karma in there at the end?
	Didn't ask for a karma.
	Okay.
	Olga Mulder in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
	333.
	Just 333.
	Olga.
	Olga.
	I've listened to the Noah Jennings show for almost a year now since Adam's prediction of the great possibility of Trump winning the elections.
	In the Robert Jensen show in the Netherlands, I got interested in America.
	You were on the Robert Jensen show?
	Yes.
	We talked about it.
	I got interested in...
	What?
	We talked about it.
	It was months ago.
	Yeah.
	I got interested in American politics.
	It was obviously months ago.
	It was before the election.
	You had made the prediction in Holland.
	You didn't care about...
	feedback or blowback for being wrong and you went out there and you did it.
	And so she got interested in American politics and the hysteria around these elections specifically.
	Also in my country, the MSM report on a politically correct left manure.
	I don't know what that means.
	I think left manner.
	I think she's in a politically correct left manner.
	Oh, okay.
	Politically correct manner.
	I needed some nuance in this whole circus.
	Glad to have found your podcast.
	Ah, there you go.
	There you have it.
	That's a plus.
	I enjoy every episode.
	Most of the time, I listen to it multiple times.
	A lot of people do this.
	I find that very peculiar.
	Under the shower, in my car to work, or while I'm cooking, my fancy dinner is for my smoking hot boyfriend.
	It has something gezellig.
	Gezelig.
	Gezelig.
	Cozy.
	Something cozy about the show.
	To me, Ask Adam keeps my amygdala small at the same time.
	Great.
	I also enjoy John's wine updates, remarks, etc., especially because I'm a winologist and work in the culinary field.
	Wine, cheese, cooking, tastings, giving workshops, etc.
	Winologist is a thing?
	You know, it sounds like one.
	I've never heard it before.
	But I like it.
	You are now my personal winologist.
	A winologist.
	And why not a winologist?
	With this donation, I can finally add a special credit to my bio.
	I love my titles.
	Please give me a de-douching for the past year of listening.
	Alright, let's do it right now.
	You've been de-douched.
	The past year of listening without donating.
	A little girl yay for my one and only lovely Martin and lots of pew-pews because I like that sound so much.
	Keep up the good work.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Olga Mulder, future dame of the Netherwines.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Last but not least, our only one and only associate executive producer, Gordon Walton, comes in with $250.
	He says, my 25th wedding anniversary, get your pen out.
	My 25th wedding anniversary, $10 a year, apply toward my son's John Walton's knighthood.
	Oh, he's not a knight.
	Put your pen down.
	The pen's down.
	John Walton's knighthood, please.
	He's a sophomore at UT Dallas in computer science.
	All right.
	We look forward to that, and thank you very much.
	We want to thank all these folks for being producers and executive producers and associate executive producers for the show 960.
	And as you heard Olga say, these credits are very handy.
	She's adding it to her bio.
	That might be her CV, or maybe just her bio in general.
	I don't know.
	Winologist and executive producer of the No Agenda Show.
	Or you could say executive producer of the No Agenda Show and winologist.
	You could do an A-B test and see which one gets you gigs.
	But we appreciate this very much from all of our execs, associate and executives, associate executives and executives.
	And we'll be thanking, I think we have a good list today.
	We're thanking more people later on in our second donation.
	And of course, we have another show coming up on Sunday.
	We need you to participate.
	You can do that in a number of ways.
	The primary way is 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 right.
	All right.
	Now, you had a pet peeve.
	What did you have?
	You wanted to do something?
	You're going to...
	We had a...
	Well, I'm just going to give you a heads up, a little note from the field.
	Mm-hmm.
	Since you mentioned earlier that we had split roles, we had switched sides, I have a second half of the show item for later, and the way it's going to go is that the show's going to slow down.
	This is my recommendation to you.
	The show's going to have a moment where you can play Entering second half of the show and then I can do this.
	I suspect I could be after the second list of producers or anytime you feel like it, but I'm just telling you.
	In advance.
	Okay.
	And if you don't do it, when I think at least by some point before the show ends, I will actually mention it.
	Okay.
	Gotcha.
	Now, there's one thing that's been going on.
	The news has covered nothing.
	Can I ask you a question?
	I'm sorry.
	Are you going to bitch at me during this segment, or is it something else?
	Oh, should I be bitching?
	About me?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I can't wait to summon my own execution.
	Nice.
	Oh, I see what you're saying.
	I don't really know what you're talking about.
	Alright, never mind.
	Okay, what I hate the most about TV, I think, is what you're referring to.
	It's okay.
	Just go ahead.
	So, I want you to...
	This is what I hate the most about TV. And I saw two examples of it.
	I saw it on Shark Tank does this constantly, and I don't like the show.
	I don't like Shark Tank.
	Bunch of glib guys.
	It's just not a...
	I don't like the show.
	Do you know they asked me to be on that show?
	With a product?
	No, as a shark.
	Oh, why don't you do it?
	Well, I'll tell you why.
	They call up and I say, that'd be great.
	I'd be fantastic on the show.
	I think I can evaluate pitches.
	I've been through a couple.
	I said, okay, and you'll invest?
	I said, no, I'm not going to invest a dime in any of that crap.
	No, you have to actually invest.
	Wait, you're telling me that you don't have a budget that gives these schmucks with their ideas some money.
	All these sharks invest their own money.
	They really do it.
	Yeah, they really do it.
	I said, okay, I'm out, is what I said.
	I'm out!
	What am I going to...
	Hey, I will take 50% of your company for $800.32 for my podcast money.
	So they must think you're loaded.
	Well, this is a long time ago.
	Oh, when you were loaded.
	Yes.
	And even then, I'm like, I'm not doing that.
	I'm not going to sit on your TV show for this.
	No.
	Well, that'd have been fun.
	No.
	Anyway, so they do this on the show.
	They do it on...
	Ramsey does it.
	This is from the cooking show.
	One of the ones where they have the home cooks and they all come out.
	Ramsey can't really yell and scream at him too much.
	And they do it on...
	A lot of it...
	They do this on The Voice.
	They do this on...
	They do this on all the shows.
	And I just am sick of it.
	But play this clip.
	I'm trying to think...
	Oh, I got it.
	Here we go.
	Using Nutella.
	But...
	Sadly, there can only be one winner.
	Oh, I know.
	The home cook receiving a major advantage in the upcoming challenge.
	That person is...
	Go to commercial!
	It's time for a getaway.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Well, of course we're doing that.
	You wait for the reveal and then commercial break.
	So every one of these things, because television the way it is now, there's other things to watch.
	And so when they do this, when they go to the commercial, and if it's not on the DVR, I mean, if it's on the DVR, just skip the commercials anyway, but they go, and here's, and so I, on this case, I said, oh, crap, and so I went and started watching other stuff, and I never went back to the show.
	Never went back to the show.
	I don't know who won, looking back on it, who cares?
	This is just a stupid show, TV, we're watching too much TV anyway, and I'm not gonna be suckered by one of these, these, oh, and the winner is...
	And then they cut to a commercial, and then you have to watch a bunch of commercials.
	You know what?
	I don't care who the winner is.
	No, as we used to say in the olden days, it's no sweat off my balls.
	I always heard back, but maybe California had a different saying.
	Yeah, well.
	Well, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	What are you doing watching that stuff anyway?
	Why would you watch that?
	Okay, here's the reason I got sucked into this one.
	I just happened to click on it and some guy had some crazy dish that he had cooked up and it was I was like, well, that's kind of interesting.
	And then people come out, all three of them, they pick three of the top dishes in this category, which was breakfast made somehow using Nutella, which seems like a stretch.
	But okay, they all cook something up.
	And everyone's oohing and aahing over this food.
	And all three of these dishes were just spectacular, very creative, it was very interesting.
	And then they'd pull this stunt.
	That was the end of it.
	I only really watched maybe five minutes of the show.
	And then I went somewhere else to get clips of As opposed to wasting my time on this stupid show.
	But then I noticed that this tease, and I remember that earlier I saw this on Shark Tank, because I only watched a few minutes of that, and I couldn't take that either.
	I'm just sick of it.
	I don't think, what's the point?
	Why don't they just tell us who it is and then go to some commercial?
	And maybe there'll be something interesting.
	I think trying to trick the people to stick around...
	It's kind of done.
	It's old-fashioned.
	And an anachronism in today's media landscape.
	Very much like the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, which I watched on Sunday.
	That doesn't surprise me.
	In fact, we're surprised we didn't talk about it beforehand.
	Well...
	It's interesting because I saw a promo for it on Friday, and I think I'd read somewhere, it's coming up on Sunday, and the promo ended with coming soon, or info soon, kind of like a hip way of saying, hey, we're going to tell you when it is.
	No, that's not a hip way to do it, and it paid off, or not, because the headline everywhere, MTV Video Music Awards lowest ratings of all time, Of all time.
	That's because they would do everything.
	I didn't know...
	Oh, stop for a second.
	Game of Thrones?
	I didn't know that they tried to do that.
	The tease with no time.
	Oh, it's coming soon!
	Oh, yeah.
	I didn't know they did that, which is stupid.
	And the other thing was, were you invited to maybe give out an award, maybe?
	No.
	Why would they invite me?
	They had Katy Perry hosting, who every other line was Trump hate.
	Every other joke was a Trump joke.
	But they're so clueless.
	At a certain point, what's his name?
	Jared Leto.
	Leto Leto.
	He does a tribute to his friend from Linkin Park who committed suicide.
	And he has this whole big spiel, and it's a wind-up, and then he performs, and they show 30 seconds, and then they do the billboards of, brought to you by Pepsi, and they go to the commercial.
	And they did this two times.
	What?
	They had a guy...
	Brought there to perform and they cut his performance off to go to a commercial?
	Yes.
	Why?
	I didn't know any of the people on the credit, so it's a completely different outfit.
	I have no idea who produced it.
	It was very poorly done.
	The whole show, they didn't even have an Illuminati segment.
	I mean, come on!
	What award show doesn't have some crazy checkers and masks and horns and fire and water?
	And they had Katy Perry.
	She's perfect for that sort of thing.
	A lot of the celebs came out on the red carpet wearing yellow stars.
	This is now a new Trump hate thing.
	What's the yellow star?
	Is that a Jewish star?
	Yeah, in fact...
	Are they living in the ghetto?
	I mean, what is the point of this?
	They're saying we're Jews and the Nazis will not get us.
	Has Trump got to do with that?
	Well, because Trump condoned it.
	He condoned it.
	He condoned it.
	He didn't condone it?
	I'm telling you, there's a lot of virtue signaling going on.
	Quite a bit.
	What were their ultimate ratings?
	Let me see.
	They had...
	Let me see.
	Oh my god!
	5.4 million viewers.
	That's bad.
	That's cable ratings.
	Yeah, that is really bad.
	I mean, that's lousy cable ratings.
	And I don't know if they had to simulcast.
	Because they used to sell it to Fox and Fox would air it as well.
	I don't think so.
	Boy.
	They've really lost the plot on that.
	Really lost it.
	Kathy Griffin was on...
	How does this guy...
	Well, maybe.
	How does this girl get...
	Back on the air.
	It's beyond me.
	Kathy Griffin.
	Oh, well, she's on the air in Australia.
	Yeah, but they played that story here.
	Oh, they did.
	She went to Australia.
	Yeah.
	And then they picked it up.
	Everyone picked it up and ran it.
	Well, everyone picked up a 30-second clip.
	Okay.
	And I thought the longer version was much more interesting.
	She did a whole media blitz, so she did a number of the morning shows, and the one that you saw the 31-second clip of, which is, in a regular podcast environment, someone would take the 31-second clip, oh, I've got her saying, you're crazy, stop being crazy, that's crap.
	The No Agenda show, we go and we find the original source material, and then we edit it to fit our narrative.
	Okay?
	So here is Kathy with Sammy Armitage, and she's promoting her upcoming tour in Australia.
	This is The Fool.
	I don't even want to call him the president.
	I just call him The Fool or The Moron or The Cheeto or something.
	I just wanted to leave all that in.
	You just need to hear these things.
	The Cheeto.
	Oh, that's dynamite stuff.
	The Fool, The Moron, The Cheeto.
	The Cheeto.
	I like The Cheeto.
	The Cheeto.
	This is the Cheeto that got her banned from the air.
	Yeah, the Cheeto.
	This is the fool.
	I don't even want to call him the...
	It gets much better when you hear how sad it really is what's happened to poor Kathy.
	This is the fool.
	I don't even want to call him the president.
	I just call him the fool or the moron or the Cheeto or something.
	But anyway, this is the guy who, while we're having a disastrous hurricane, Harvey, and people are dying in Houston and all over Texas, maybe Louisiana, he's spending taxpayer dollars on the Kathy Griffin two-month federal investigation.
	And then, now in light of all the crazy stuff that he and this administration are doing, pardoning Joe Arpaio, who is a federal criminal who is convicted of a crime but never served time.
	Interesting there's that convicted of a crime, never served time before the pardon thing that you identified on the last show.
	Yes, and I find it interesting that people are bitching about this pardon, seemingly not understanding what a pardon is.
	Generally speaking, there's some crime involved, whether it's a judicial crime or a statute crime or something written down, something not written down, but there's a crime involved that you generally are accused of or have committed to get the pardon in the first place.
	If there was no crime or anything else, You wouldn't get a pardon.
	Right.
	So why is everyone so shocked that Trump pardoned somebody?
	Oh, I see.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah.
	Hey, I know what you're saying.
	I know what you're saying.
	You know what I'm saying?
	This is an argument that doesn't work.
	I've seen it everywhere on social media.
	Well, Obama pardoned 1,500 people and terrorists and people who killed people and blew people up.
	True.
	All true.
	But it doesn't hold water.
	It's a pardon.
	He is a convicted racist.
	Convicted racist.
	Who is a federal criminal who is convicted of a crime but never served time.
	The transgender ban.
	Wow!
	It's just the transgender ban.
	I mean, it sounds great, but it's not exactly truthful.
	The transgender ban.
	You just can't be trans now in America.
	It's like, no, it's a ban on trans.
	It's a ban.
	Trans ban.
	You can't be trans.
	Trans ban.
	Evicted of a crime.
	Stop yourself.
	Time but never served time.
	The transgender ban.
	You know, he's just also, he's on hinge.
	You apologize.
	You were very upset.
	Are you no longer sorry for it?
	Correct.
	I'm no longer sorry.
	The whole outrage was BS. The whole thing got so blown out of proportion.
	And I lost everybody.
	Oh, she lost everybody.
	Now remember, she just bitched at the president While people are drowning and dying in Houston, he's pardoning a convicted racist.
	And she lost everybody!
	Did she lose everybody in Houston?
	Did her friends drown?
	Did they have property destroyed?
	And I lost everybody.
	Like, I had Chelsea Clinton tweeting against me.
	I had friends.
	Deborah Messing from Will& Grace tweeting against me.
	Oh, my God!
	This is really important.
	This is so much more important than anything, Kathy.
	Deborah Messing, the goddess from Will& Grace.
	By the way, I predict that's going to flop, that comeback.
	I predict a big flop on the comeback.
	Yeah, you beat me to it.
	Big flop, because they're going to be all Trump hate, and it's not going to be that funny.
	No, you can't be funny if you're...
	It's limited.
	It's very limited.
	It's very limited.
	And you're ruining...
	And there's half the...
	That television, let's start with that.
	Television is Trumpville.
	I mean, the audience is half, at least half of these people support Trump that watched television in the first place.
	You know, the people that voted for him in Pennsylvania.
	You know what they're watching.
	They're watching television.
	Yeah, they're watching...
	So they're going to lose half the audience.
	Shark Tank and The Voice.
	And you know why they're watching?
	Because they can't wait to find out who won after the commercial.
	Yeah, well, that's them, not me.
	Messing from Will and Grace tweeting against me.
	I mean, I lost everybody.
	And so I have been through the mill.
	And I also, you know, I didn't just lose like one night on CNN. My entire tour was canceled within 24 hours because every single theater got all these death threats.
	I mean, these Trump fans, they're hardcore.
	They have like robocalls and they're a minority, but they know how to act like they're a majority.
	Deborah Messing and Chelsea Clinton aren't Trump fans.
	Like, even Democrats said it was out of line.
	I get that comedy is about pushing the boundaries and being politically incorrect.
	Now, this was not on your clip, now was it?
	No.
	As a matter of fact, it wasn't.
	I feel bad now.
	And that's what I like, because there's also an ending to it.
	That's why we do this on this show, and one of the two of us always manages to pull down the real deal.
	Prats.
	Said it was out of line.
	I get that comedy is about pushing the boundaries and being politically incorrect, and that's fine.
	But do you not agree that that picture, holding up a severed head, I know it's a mask covered in tomato sauce, but do you not accept that was a little bit over the line?
	No, you're full of crap.
	Stop this.
	You know this.
	Stop acting like my little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the President of the United States is committing.
	And I'm also on a mission to tell people, honestly, if it happened to me, as big-mouthed and obnoxious as I am, it can happen to you.
	Like, honestly, this is a big change.
	Also, I don't know if you know this, but my actual, genuine, real-life neighbors, 10 feet away, are Kim Kardashian West and Kanye Kardashian West.
	So if you don't think I'm going to be talking about that...
	I will.
	Oh, wow.
	Because think about it.
	I'm in trouble.
	I'm in trouble.
	Now listen to how she comes around and slams the host for what she just said.
	For what she said was, well, hold on a second.
	Chelsea Clinton and Debra Messing, they're Democrats.
	They're anti-Trump.
	So what is exactly your problem?
	Because think about it.
	I'm in trouble.
	I'm in trouble, according to you, Sam.
	Way to take my back, girl.
	Well, no.
	No, I'm a journalist, Kathy.
	I'm here to ask you questions.
	I got it.
	I got your number, Sam.
	And that's why...
	Hold on, stop, stop.
	Can you back it up a little bit?
	Because I think...
	Did you hear this?
	That Kathy says, I know your type?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	But she's going to complete that sentence.
	I know your type.
	Oh, yeah.
	She's going to come back and say it.
	Here.
	As a neighbor.
	Because think about it.
	I'm in trouble.
	I'm in trouble, according to you, Sam.
	Way to take my back, girl.
	Well, no.
	No, I'm a journalist, Kathy.
	I'm here to ask you questions.
	And it was a big thing.
	And that's why...
	You're like a white Trump voter in America.
	No, that's not fair, Kathy.
	Calm down.
	You're fine.
	Do you hear that?
	You're like the white Trump voter in America.
	But I know your type.
	White Trump voter in America.
	You speak against me, you white Trump voter from America, you.
	I know your type.
	Thanks for having my back, girl.
	This woman is not okay.
	She's insane.
	Yeah, it's really not okay.
	That's hateful.
	She's just hateful.
	White.
	God.
	I can't take my skin off.
	Ugh.
	Wow.
	I'll give you a second clip of the day.
	Oh, well, geez.
	We're unhinged, unglued!
	Let's look at a couple other nutty things.
	I do want to say that I was right, and I believe I put it in the book.
	Did we not put in the book Gone with the Wind would be a problem?
	I think you said it, but I don't remember putting it in the book.
	Gone with the Wind will be gone from the Orpheum summer movie series, the theater board said on Friday.
	Oh, beautiful!
	Hold on.
	Thank you.
	I'm glad you have that.
	Confederate monuments for splitting U.S. society is now moving to the world of the big screen.
	One cinema in Memphis has cancelled the annual showing of the 1939 classic movie Gone with the Wind.
	The iconic film about love and civil war was reportedly accused of being racist by America's left wing.
	Based on Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone with the Wind, it's set on a southern plantation way back during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.
	So now that cancellation after 34 years has fired up social media.
	Some on one side incredulous the film was dropped, others stressing that art should be out of politics.
	Some tweets were accompanied with the hashtag Hattie McDaniel after the actress who played the housemaid.
	The history of her, she became the first African-American to be nominated for and to win an Academy Award.
	Back then the film producer collaborated closely with rights groups to prevent accusations of racism.
	Writer and political activist Jeffrey Mark Klein believes that from monuments to award-winning films, the country's left wing is trying to rewrite America's history right now.
	It's kind of insane that they would claim this movie is insensitive when...
	Hattie McDaniel is the first black person to win an Oscar, so that movie has very historical significance, even just for that fact.
	I guess there's a chance that the management of the theater is afraid that radical left groups like Antifa are going to show up and destroy the theater if...
	Anyway, he goes on.
	Yeah, well, let's just stay in the movie business.
	Also called out is Stephen King's It...
	The adaption, the movie adaption of his novel.
	Boston University Scholar claiming his classic horror novel It and the upcoming movie adaptation are problematic because its protagonists are white, straight, and able-bodied.
	That's right.
	Yep.
	It's racist.
	It's racist.
	Straight and able-bodied, so that's a racist movie?
	I guess so.
	But wait.
	There's more.
	Oh, there's much more.
	It's coming around again.
	You called this very early on.
	Another neo-Confederate symbol that needs to be removed is the National Anthem.
	We knew this was coming.
	You absolutely called that.
	And Salon is now writing about it since all of D.C. reads Salon.
	And if you do read all of the National Anthem, there is some stuff in there that could be a slave derivative.
	They say it's referring to the Confederate states.
	Yes.
	But the Confederate States did not exist in 1812.
	Ah, shut up, that's slavery.
	I'm never going to talk about, was the Civil War about states' rights or slaves.
	I mean, the amount of email and people who are authorities and know it all and let me tell you.
	They mostly know it all.
	Ah, jeez, it's so much.
	But did you know this?
	U.S. Senators, let me see, Markey, and a couple other douches, calling for a ban on menthol cigarettes.
	Yes-siree-bob.
	And you know why, don't you?
	Because, yeah, it's very addictive to smoke menthols.
	No.
	That would be the reason.
	No.
	That's what they're concerned about our health.
	No.
	No.
	They argue that tobacco companies disproportionately target African Americans marketing menthol cigarettes.
	Oh no.
	Racist.
	You know what that means.
	What?
	It means the great, great, great malt liquor product, Old English 880, is done.
	My mom smoked menthols.
	She's a racist.
	No, she's dead of lung cancer, but she wasn't a racist as far as I know.
	I never noticed it.
	No, it's off the rails.
	We're unhinged.
	Thank you, George Soros.
	Yes, and I will lead into my final little bit here.
	Before you do, I want to just throw a red book prediction, which I'm not going to bother writing down because we know it's going to happen, about Kathy Griffin.
	She is going to all of a sudden go to rehab and it's going to turn out she had a drug problem.
	There's going to be all these stories about her making her comeback and she's going to be very apologetic and she's going to admit to being unhinged and she's back on track and you'll see.
	I'm not so sure about that.
	They all do it.
	You mean just as the comeback ploy, you mean?
	Yeah.
	Possibly.
	Yeah, she's a phony.
	She says she was a phony in that last clip.
	She made it very clear.
	She said she was a phony.
	She said that she faked the apology and the whole thing was bullcrap.
	It was insincere.
	She wasn't really sorry.
	She's just admitted to being a phony, so this is going to happen.
	Well, she's a Becky.
	From Uzbekistan?
	No, she's a Becky.
	B-E-C-K-Y. Becky.
	Becky.
	You don't know what a Becky is?
	No, I do not know what a Becky is.
	Good.
	I didn't know either until I read it on The Root.
	The Root.com.
	The Root.com is the...
	Inform us, please.
	I just want to explain.
	The Root.com is owned by NBC. It is a black-run website, black issues, African-American, but they say black here themselves, so black.
	And what is the title of this?
	The Five Types of Becky.
	And it caught my attention.
	I read all this stuff.
	Becky.
	Noun.
	A white woman who uses her privilege as a weapon, a ladder, or an excuse.
	Example.
	A random Becky hit me up on Twitter to explain why not all white women are racist.
	You say?
	It's a Becky.
	And other examples of Beckys are Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Tommy Lauren, Amy Schumer, and, interestingly enough, Hillary Clinton.
	What kind of a Becky is Hillary?
	Well, let's look at the definition again.
	A white woman who uses her privilege as a weapon, a ladder, or an excuse.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	I'm a white woman.
	That's why I didn't become president.
	Becky.
	Becky.
	You're a Becky.
	You could all say Becca.
	What about women who are actually named Becky?
	Should they be taking offense to this?
	I would think so.
	I don't know.
	But, you know, this is a very interesting article, and they do have, let's see, famous...
	Oh, so they actually categorize it, different types of Becky.
	So if you have a Rebecca, that's the standard off-the-shelf Becky with no adornments around whom the entire world revolves.
	When alt-writers recite the 14 words, which are, because the beauty of the white Aryan woman must not perish from the earth, this is about who they're talking about.
	This is why Taylor Swift...
	What did you just quote?
	The 14 words...
	Is there something called the 14 words I'm not aware of?
	Yeah.
	It came up on the show several months ago, and at some point, I think Trump had said something, the number 14, and it was, oh!
	He's a racist!
	It's the KKK! I could hear you clicking the keyboard.
	Yes, the 14 words are like a Nazi, neo-Nazi thing.
	Huh.
	And the 14 words...
	This is all on the root?
	This is all on the root, yeah.
	So famous Rebecca's...
	But listen, famous Rebecca's number one Taylor Swift.
	You see?
	And that's why she's hated.
	Yes.
	She's a Rebecca.
	When did this get published?
	This was published...
	This past Tuesday?
	Well, she's been hated before this got published.
	No, I know.
	But it might have been already in the...
	It's been in the works.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Then you have a Becca.
	She's the number one Becky?
	No, she's a...
	Taylor Swift?
	She's Rebecca.
	She's Rebecca.
	Oh, she's a Rebecca.
	Yeah, Taylor Swift and Megyn Kelly.
	It's the girl in your study group who makes an A while doing none of the work.
	That's the famous Rebecca's.
	Now we have Becca.
	These are the most innocent of all Beckys.
	She volunteers at the local Boys and Girls Club, teaching underprivileged youths.
	She voted for Barack Obama.
	She wears a safety pin and has a Black Lives Matter t-shirt on.
	One of Becca's best friends is black.
	She is an ally.
	Did I mention she voted for Barack Obama?
	Do you see how you're being mocked, Becca's?
	Identifying call of the Becca, quote, I voted for Barack Obama twice.
	Famous Becca's, Hillary Clinton and Katy Perry, white women who work at non-profits.
	Then we have the Beckisha.
	Part of the privilege of Beckington rests in its members' unflagging belief that everything belongs to them.
	So this has got nothing to do with nasty stereotyping whatsoever.
	I don't think so.
	I can't find it.
	For this subset of Becky's, culture, history, and black penis are all disposable commodities for them to use and discard at their whim.
	In their belief system, you can't be offended when they appropriate a culture or call something ghetto because they don't have a racist bone in their body.
	Plus, they once had a black boner inside their body.
	So how can they be racist?
	Yes!
	No, you put that in.
	No, I said I'm reading it verbatim.
	Holy crap.
	Identifying call.
	I dated a black guy in college.
	Famous bakishas, anyone with a last name Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Rachel Dolezal, and white girls who twerk.
	That's pretty much all of them.
	Then we have the Reba.
	Reba believes in equality.
	Reba is a feminist.
	Reba is woke.
	Hold on.
	Stop again.
	Sorry.
	I have to keep interrupting this.
	That's okay.
	This is a gem.
	I know.
	It's great, isn't it?
	Who wrote this?
	The author of this?
	Yes.
	Michael Harriot.
	A guy?
	Yeah.
	A guy.
	He's a reporter.
	Does he have a little bio at the bottom?
	Does it say anything about him?
	Well, he has a link.
	Let's click on it.
	By the way, the guy's hilarious.
	Michael, fantastic work.
	He has the five types of Becky.
	White guy lies about black anti-fascists stabbing him because of his Nazi haircut.
	Donald Trump's election stealing.
	Doesn't have a bio.
	There's no bio.
	Oh, here.
	A staff writer for the root host of the Black One podcast.
	I gotta listen to that.
	And editor-in-chief of the daily digital magazine Niggas Who Read.
	All right.
	Nice.
	Now we're at the Reba.
	Reba believes in equality.
	I think I've heard this guy's podcast.
	That is great.
	It's pretty bad.
	Yeah.
	It's racist.
	Let's put it that way.
	Reba believes in equality.
	Reba is a feminist.
	Reba is woke.
	Reba believes in a woman's right to choose and wore a pink pussy hat to the women's march.
	But Reba believes all lives matter.
	Reba speaks of the glass ceiling, but wonders why black people always play the race card.
	Reba believes that a woman has the right to do whatever she wants with her body, but agrees that your hair is unprofessional.
	Reba loves Beyonce's single ladies, but wonders why she had to pay homage to the Black Panthers at the Super Bowl and mention Negro Noses in formation.
	Reba cried for Justin Diamond and Heather Heyer, but if you mention Rekia Boyd or Sandra Bland, Reba will ask, is that the one who was on the Olympics gymnastics team?
	Identify and call.
	Not all white women.
	Dot, dot, dot.
	Famous rebuzz.
	Amy Schumer.
	Lena Dunham.
	And all Jezebel readers.
	And then Beckzilla.
	Beckzilla's don't give a fuck.
	They roam the streets stomping on everything, setting the world ablaze by spewing the flames of privilege every time they breathe.
	If a Beckzilla is caught in a compromising position, she knows she can weasel her way out of it by tossing an innocent black body under the bus.
	She will scream bloody murder and watch silently while a faultless black boy is beaten to a pulp.
	She will shoot a black man in the back and claim she feared for her life.
	A Beckzilla will castigate blackness for a career boost, an ounce of sympathy, or just because she can.
	A Beckzilla will fuck you, then she will fuck you.
	They always fuck you.
	Identify and call.
	What's a Becky?
	Famous Beckzillas, Betsy DeVos, Betty Shelby, Kellyanne Conway, and Tommy Lahren.
	Well, Tommy Lahren seems to be in more than one category here.
	Yeah.
	I just found this to be an incredible piece.
	Well, it's funny.
	But it absolutely violates all the codes of stereotyping and all these other things that the left are supposed to be so much against.
	Well, I don't know if he's left.
	I would think so.
	I would think so.
	He's totally left.
	Or he wouldn't even be writing in an operation.
	The guy needs to get laid, that's for sure.
	This is, uh...
	Anyway.
	Hello, white women.
	Screw y'all.
	I'm glad.
	I'm glad.
	Now you know what it feels like.
	You're hated.
	Apparently you're hated by black women, according to The Root.
	And they have names for you, and they laugh behind your back at your pink pussy hat.
	Man, we are in trouble.
	That is a...
	We are...
	Put a link in the show notes to that piece.
	I'm going to show myself a little by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	We do have a lot of people to thank.
	In fact, these are a lot because this is one of the last shows except Sunday will be Adam's birthday.
	Woo!
	And we ended up getting a lot of people wishing Adam a happy birthday with a $53 donation.
	It's very convenient to have that number as a birthday, apparently.
	Damn, I'm looking at it.
	Holy crapola.
	Nice.
	People love me!
	Yeah, well, you thought that anyway.
	Bass van Bruegel in Herrenberg, Deutschland, $153.
	And the 53, of course, refers to your birthday.
	Yes.
	So, Bas von Bregel.
	Brandon Turner, 148.52 in Kingman, Arizona.
	He's got a...
	He has a...
	He's getting knighted.
	And I have to read his note because he's up on the list for being knighted.
	He's giving us a lot of money.
	KI7HDT73s.
	73s.
	Keto5AlphaCharlieCharlie.
	He's typed a letter using a 1951 Royal Quiet Deluxe.
	So it's typed, and boy, you have to remember the good old days.
	I bought one of these typewriters recently.
	On September 3rd, two legends were born, Adam Curry in 1964 and myself in 1984.
	I want to wish Adam a happy birthday, and as a gift to myself, I shall join you at the roundtable.
	Adam, please send JCD and I your address once you get one, as next to his chaise lounge sits a package for you, and I have more things to send you as well.
	From the bottom of my heart, I won't tell you what it is.
	From the bottom of my heart, thank you both for your courage.
	I don't know if everyone realizes that what you guys do takes some serious testicular fortitude.
	as you could tell from the bit we just did not just financially but hoping what it takes to speak the truth also for my birthday i'm hoping for a podcast license from adam to go with my night ring hint hint for my ceremony may i please have the marshmallow peeps and cola oh marshmallow peeps Yeah, you know, peeps?
	No.
	Those little chickens, soft little chicken pieces, Peeps?
	Yeah, okay, I got you.
	Marshmallow Peeps, and for Easter, the Peeps come out.
	I have a package of Peeps from 1980, I think.
	And they're as good as new.
	They probably are edible, but their heart is a rock.
	They're petrified.
	You've tried it.
	I want to be crowned Sir Peep Slayer of the Mojave Wasteland.
	Nice.
	When you get your package, Adam, this will make more sense.
	I am proud to join you guys in the quest to figure out just what the hell is going on.
	I don't know where you are headed, but I'm happy to have you guys along for the ride.
	John, enjoy the homemade prickly pear jelly.
	We make it every year, and I'm happy to send more if you like it.
	Okay.

	Yes, we sure do.
	Thank you.
	Onward.
	Sir Kevin Dills, Baron of Mecklenburg County, $128.64.

	No, he's, let's see, yes.
	ITM from Southeast Wisconsin.
	We have no Confederate statues, but we do have a creepy-looking bronze fawns.
	Get rid of that.
	What?
	A bronze Fonz.
	From the show?
	Yeah, the Fonz, I guess.
	Yeah, that's what it sounds like.
	De-douching is needed.
	You've been de-douched.
	I was called out a few weeks ago by Mike Holmes after I gave him a promotion.
	Wait, let me reread that.
	I was called out a few weeks ago by Mike Holmes right after I gave him a promotion.
	Might need to rethink that one.
	Yeah, good move, Mike.
	Need to call out my millennial son, Jeffrey, who hit me in the mouth earlier this year but has not contributed recently.
	Douchebag!
	Keep up the great word, bringing sanity and reason to an insane world.
	Thank you very much.
	The guy gets a promotion and calls on his boss.
	That's a douche.
	This reminds me of that story that went all around us.
	This is another story that was played up a lot.
	Some dumb guy, some dumb professor in Florida...
	I think the Texans deserve the hurricane because of Trump.
	And he got fired.
	Yeah, of course.
	Moron.
	And I'm reminded, of course, of this.
	This is not a new phenomenon.
	It started with the blogging era.
	I've always gotten a kick out of bloggers who would call out their bosses in their blogs thinking the boss is never going to get wind of it.
	Yeah.
	Duh.
	We had a guy that, it's just a side story, we had a guy at Tech TV, they just hired this guy, and one of the producers that had a, it was just a blog nut, they'd read everything, and they'd always do due diligence on whoever they hired, so they'd know who they were working with, and they found this guy's blog, and he was going on and on about, he's working with a bunch of boneheads at Tech TV, and you can't wait to get out of here, it's the stupidest place he's ever been.
	Was it on GeoCities that he put this?
	It was something like that.
	It was something obscure or live journal.
	Hey, just before we continue, because I did write this down to something I want to talk about.
	You know, we look at all this hate and all this yelling and all this, the social media.
	I have to say, I've been around, I've been around, but even in the early days of Usenet, the news groups, which, how they later, but even when they were storing forward, just for children, for those of you who are new to the internet, back in the day, you'd have your news groups, which were like little bulletin boards, kind of like Reddit, I would say, except here's how it worked in our day.
	You'd read the post.
	You'd then, oh, I'm going to reply to this person.
	And then that reply would be swept up once an evening and then shipped around the internet to all the different nodes and they would synchronize and they would have names like alt.sexuality.horses.
	And I don't know why that came to mind.
	Yeah, I don't know either.
	So the replies to your post probably wouldn't come until the next day.
	But my point is, the snark and the hate and the meanfulness was there then.
	It's the same.
	And my conclusion is, people are so...
	My initial conclusion was, people are assholes.
	And then I thought, no.
	The reason why this is, going back to the early days of the internet, is people are so frustrated being slaves of the actual Gitmo nation.
	They're so frustrated with their lives, with their jobs, with the shit they're told to do.
	Then they're just letting loose because it's kind of anonymous.
	No one can hurt you.
	No one's going to pop you in the nose.
	You can be anywhere.
	And that's why we do it.
	We are so unhappy with our lives.
	Subconsciously, more than likely.
	I think it probably...
	I watched a very good...
	One of these guys, ex-CIA guy, I can't remember his last name, going on bitching and moaning about the shadow government and the dark, whatever it's called.
	And it was good.
	It was a good lecture.
	I enjoyed it.
	I'll send a copy.
	Yeah, please do.
	I'd like to see it.
	It was actually very good.
	The guy was very good.
	And...
	And he outlined the scheme to take over the world because it's all about one world government.
	It's a slow process and all the rest of it.
	I also combined this with an Illuminati lecture, which I couldn't resist.
	But I'm thinking that there's a scheme afoot.
	And I do believe there's always been this desire to have one world government because it's the only way that the rich people can keep their stuff.
	That's my argument.
	I think the Internet has screwed this thing.
	I think it screwed up all the plans.
	I think the internet came along too fast.
	It was out of control.
	It wasn't regulated.
	It wasn't regulated.
	I think it's ruined everything.
	And I think not just that.
	I think it's ruined a lot of stuff.
	I think it's ruined social interaction.
	It seems to be ruining the democracy.
	It's ruining civility.
	It's ruined a lot.
	And I think the scheme is now going to go right into the toilet.
	And I'll tell you.
	I'm not worried.
	It ruined Usenet.
	No, actually, alt.binaries ruined Usenet.
	Remember that?
	If you want to download one porn picture, you had to assemble 8,000 messages.
	Do you remember that?
	You had to select all of these messages that had partials of the binary.
	Actually, I do remember that, but I thought the bypass for that was just because during the Usenet, the CBBS movement was still really strong, and they had Just straight downloaded porn.
	You can get porn from a bunch of guys.
	I remember one guy used to be...
	Let me tell you kids something else.
	The first time I downloaded porn from the internet, which was just a picture.
	It was a progressive GIF. Remember those?
	The progressive shift.
	Yeah, it had to take 20 passes before you actually get the picture.
	No, one megabyte file, one hour.
	One hour.
	It would take one hour to download one megabyte.
	Well, megabyte file's too big!
	Yeah, just want people to know.
	Just remember.
	Anyway, we digress.
	I'm sorry.
	I just wanted to make that point.
	Well, back in my day, we had a 1200 baud modem, and then when the 2400 baud modem came out, we went, wow!
	This thing is twice as fast.
	I started off with a 600 baud modem, although I had a 300 baud modem, but there was this one company that made a 600 baud.
	I started with a 75 baud modem.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	Who made a 75?
	I made it myself.
	I built my own 75 baud modem with my ZX80. It was an acoustic.
	I'm a 75-baud modem.
	Can anyone talk to me?
	No.
	Yes, I had a buddy who had a Commodore VIC-20, and it was acoustic, and we just ripped apart an old phone and just reversed, put the horn right on top, and I'd press the key on my pad, and it would show up on his.
	And then I would...
	What did you use for your coding?
	Was it the Kansas City Standard?
	Huh?
	Huh?
	Going back to the worst references.
	Sorry.
	We'd go like this for hours, ladies and gentlemen.
	Yeah, we could.
	We're not going to.
	We're thanking people.
	Because we've got too many $53 donations to come up with.

	We would be nice.
	John Keckish in Chardon, Ohio.
	Mark Rivera in Santa Monica, California.
	And that's it.
	The fact that you even had to say that is troubling.
	The fact that you even have to say that.
	It is troubling.
	Why did you feel you had to say that?
	Because Randall might want to let it be known that he's white.
	Oh, okay.
	And so I didn't want to say that he's black when he wants to be white.
	And I don't want him to say that he's white if he wants to be black.
	Okay.
	So I said that.
	I'm sorry I did it.
	But I did it anyway.
	I'm still hoping that Stephen Curry starts listening to the show and can donate part of his millions.
	Okay.
	Right!
	I'm all over that.
	Yeah, and that ain't happening.
	No, probably not.
	Okay, on to the rest of the donations.
	There's only a few left, luckily.

	Thank you all very much.
	I feel very loved.
	That's very nice.
	It was unexpected.
	I didn't expect to have that kind of a turnout.
	Yeah, he says we only had five on the last request.
	Oh, we're double that one up.
	It's all about timing.
	Thank you all very much.
	Thank you for supporting the show mainly.
	This is the best podcast in the universe.
	It's our value for value model.
	I appreciate it.
	Someone on Twitter today was like, you should listen to Joe Rogan if you want to understand how you have better sound and how to make money.
	He has great sponsors.
	I'm like, wow.
	Yeah, okay, I'll be sure to call him.
	I think we made a little lecture about the sponsor thing in the last newsletter.
	I think people should reread that.
	And if the guy just sent you that without reading the newsletter, he doesn't care.
	We don't take advice from people that don't care enough to even listen to the show or get the newsletter.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Don't care.
	All right.
	Also, thanks to everyone who came in under $50.
	That is typically used for anonymity, but also people on tons of subscriptions.
	We really appreciate if you check those out and help us out.
	And remember us for our show coming up on Sunday.
	jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!

	One title change today.
	Sir Eric V.M. sent in a birthday donation, and with that he also achieves the status of Baronet.
	So he now becomes Sir Eric V.M. Baronet of the Valley, and we congratulate him and thank him for his support of the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	And we have a couple of...
	Actually, we have one daming and one knighting, if I can have your blade handy, please.
	All right, got it.
	Robert DeVilla, Joyce Keck, and Brandon Turner, join us here on stage, please!
	Thank you very much for your support of the program, the No Agenda Show, and the amount of $1,000 or more.
	That means you can take place here at our No Agenda Roundtable of our Knights and Dames.
	But first, I'm very proud to pronounce the KV Serzong Jr.
	of the One Cat Army.
	Dame...
	Joyce of the OTR and Sir Peep Slayer of the Mojave Wasteland for you.
	We have marshmallow peeps and cola, pipelines and poppies, runny eggs and grapefruit juice.
	We got WWE and dads.
	We got strong black coffee and chocolate chip cookies.
	Fly breads and fembots, maker's mark and mushrooms, breast milk and pablum, ginger ale and gerbils, and mutton and mead.
	All we ask you to do now is go to noagendanation.com slash rings, put in your info, and Eric the Show will get those out to you as soon as possible.
	Thank you again for everyone who supported us and the birthday donations were highly appreciated.
	And your birthday is on Sunday.
	That's great.
	Which means we'll probably get a few more.
	Uh-oh.
	No entering second half of show, everybody!
	Someone's got to pick up the slack.
	So I was listening to a podcast, and it was, anyone who's heard this guy, I can't remember his name, he's got some crazy name, but he does a bunch of things, news stories about aliens and abductions and stuff like that.
	I could read this report myself.
	I went to the CIA site.
	It does exist.
	So everything he's doing here, this is only written up by one or two outlets.
	Nobody seems to find it interesting.
	It was just a secret document.
	Just recently released by the CIA like a week ago.
	No one's talking about it.
	This guy reports on it.
	He reads from it.
	I think it's a little more interesting than listening to me.
	You can hear different voices.
	Second half of the show, the Stone Soldiers Report.
	A declassified CIA report claims that a troop of Russian soldiers were turned into stone by aliens after they were attempting to gun down the extraterrestrials.
	According to a top secret document posted on the official CIA website, and there's a link here, 23 Russian soldiers died in a macabre way as a result of a battle with a group of five aliens in Siberia in 1993.
	The Sun reports, the newspaper reports of a 250-page KGB dossier on the UFO attack, Which included pictures and witness testimonies, reveals the Daily Express.
	The report stated that the flying saucer had appeared over a military unit training in Siberia.
	One of the soldiers is then to have taken it down with a surface-to-air missile.
	It said five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes got out, as the typical-looking alien gray they're describing.
	Just two soldiers are said to have survived the encounter.
	The report claims five beings emerged from the crashed craft and joined together to form a ball of light which then exploded, turning 23 soldiers into stone.
	The report reads, the KGB report goes on to say that the remains of the petrified soldiers were transferred to a secret research institution near Moscow.
	Specialists assume that a source of energy still unknown to earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers' living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular structure was no different to limestone.
	A CIA representative stated at the end of the report, if the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case.
	Wait, there's more.
	The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions they can stand up for themselves if attacked.
	Because I have it here in front of me.
	You have the printout?
	Yes.
	Yeah, it'll be in the JCD clips part of the show notes.
	Now...
	There's a number of things.
	The first thing I heard was, well, KGB did this in 93.
	This happened in 93.
	KGB was disbanded in 91.
	I immediately figured this is bull crap and somebody's playing a trick.
	But I went back to look at the original report, and in fact, the way it's discussed is that 93 date is not when it was.
	It may have been in 90...
	I mean, this seems as though the KGB report was discovered in 93 after the cache of documents was released to the CIA and others from the KGB after the thing had disbanded.
	And so this event could have taken place It took place, obviously, sometime before 91.
	But this guy goes on, the guy doing the reporting, said that now they're thinking that a lot of statues and things that are like The fragile kinds of statues that are around are actually, they're not statues at all.
	Some of the stuff, the old Greek and Roman stuff that looks like a statue, it's actually somebody who's been turned to stone by aliens.
	Nice!
	And they found a big, there's these things called mud statues that are apparently scattered around Africa, and one guy examining one of them started chipping away at it, and inside the statue was a ribcage.
	Wow.
	Which doesn't make any sense.
	Sounds legit.
	Sounds totally legit.
	And so the thing to note is that by this report, and again, if you go to the CIA archives, which you can do, and they have a search engine, You put in UFO, you think there's not going to be anything.
	That's a lot.
	There is a ton of stuff.
	So the thing to note in this report is that the aliens were shot down when they got out of their little spaceship.
	They grabbed each other or something to form a light.
	Oh, like the Apple Genius Bar.
	Oh.
	Exactly.
	So they all got together in some form.
	And I think obviously what they were describing was a transporter because they turned into a ball of light and it disappeared.
	And the only guys who didn't turn into stone were a couple of guys that apparently were in the shadows or something and the light didn't really hit them.
	So it seems as if the transporter mechanism used by the aliens has got a side effect that is not welcome.
	There's no reason for these guys to have been turned to stone.
	Oh, okay.
	So that wasn't...
	Oh, interesting.
	So I don't think it was a weapon.
	And you think my moon base is this crazy?
	Well, the moon-based thing is getting a little heated up now.
	Yeah, since we have a moon-based space force funded by the Pentagon.
	Ah, just little things like that.
	You know, when I was reading this report as we were listening to that podcast...
	And by the way, it's Israeli moon-based.
	Yes, Israeli moon.
	I'm sorry.
	I thought of Homo Capensis.
	Ah!
	Yeah, I know.
	You sent that to me.
	Oh, yeah.
	Homo Capensis.
	Homo Capensis.
	Because, you know, the big heads.
	It's big heads.
	It's interesting.
	Yeah, and the big heads thing.
	And it's kind of a misshapen head.
	And I think people that have that perfect egg-shaped head, I think maybe homocompensis.
	We'll talk about that on another show.
	We need more information.
	Yeah, we do need more information.
	Wow, I am really high.
	Nice second half, John.
	Let me get back to a little...
	Somebody's got to do it.
	I appreciate that you do it.
	I have a piece of a TED Talk from Kathy O'Neill, and she is a mathematician and data scientist.
	I wager to say she is a social justice warrior of sorts, and this is not a TEDx.
	This was an official TED Talk, so you know the deal.
	Those are, what, 15 minutes, 20 minutes?
	18.
	18.
	So I broke it down to...
	Uh, and this, it's kind of, well, it's not, it's typical for this show where I have this all set up to say, watch out, algos are going to be called racist.
	And we actually have a news story that came out today that says, as a headline, turns out algorithms are racist.
	But I'll play this for you so you can get a little idea about what...
	It's informative because we talk about algos all the time.
	I inherently understand it because I deal with them on a daily basis.
	Actually, I've been around.
	A lot of people think it's magic.
	Algorithms are everywhere.
	They sort and separate the winners from the losers.
	The winners get the job or a good credit card offer.
	The losers don't even get an interview, or they pay more for insurance.
	We're being scored with secret formulas that we don't understand, that often don't have systems of appeal.
	That begs the question, what if the algorithms are wrong?
	To build an algorithm, you need two things.
	You need data, what happened in the past, And a definition of success.
	The thing you're looking for and often hoping for.
	You train an algorithm by looking, figuring out, the algorithm figures out what is associated with success.
	What situation leads to success.
	Algorithms are opinions embedded in code.
	It's really different from what you think most people think of algorithms.
	They think algorithms are objective and true and scientific.
	That's a marketing trick.
	It's also a marketing trick.
	To intimidate you with algorithms.
	To make you trust and fear algorithms because you trust and fear mathematics.
	A lot can go wrong when we put blind faith In big data.
	But algorithms can go wrong, even have deeply destructive effects with good intentions.
	And whereas an airplane that's designed badly crashes to the earth and everyone sees it, an algorithm designed badly can go on for a long time silently wreaking havoc.
	Algorithms don't make things fair.
	If you just blindly apply algorithms, they don't make things fair.
	They repeat our past practices, our patterns.
	They automate the status quo.
	But the data scientists in those companies are told to follow the data, to focus on accuracy.
	What's going on?
	Data laundering.
	It's a process by which technologists hide ugly truths inside black box algorithms and call them objective.
	Call them meritocratic.
	When they're secret, important, and destructive, I've coined a term for these algorithms, weapons of mass destruction.
	She coined the term.
	It's good, isn't it?
	I never heard that term before, weapons of mass destruction.
	Math.
	Math.
	Oh, math.
	Oh.
	Oh, it's a pun.
	I'm sorry.
	They're everywhere and it's not a mistake.
	These are private companies building private algorithms for private ends.
	They call it their secret sauce.
	That's why they can't tell us about it.
	It's also private power.
	They are profiting from wielding the authority of the inscrutable.
	And she had many examples, and they're listed in this article that came out today as well.
	The main ones are teachers getting fired because an algo said that they were not up to snuff based upon the test results, and these algorithms that are used to determine that are not being disclosed.
	Different interest rates if you're black or Latino.
	If you're of a certain age.
	I'm completely on board with her.
	I am too.
	You should be.
	You're the one that got screwed over because you didn't have a credit card or whatever, and the Algo said, this guy's no good.
	He has no debt.
	That's right.
	What kind of a guy's worth a crap in this country if you don't have any debt?
	Nothing, no.
	The Algo...
	Personally, we do have credit cards, and we do have good numbers, but I just buy...
	Screw it.
	I don't care.
	If I can't buy it in cash, except for real estate, obviously.
	Hey, you know what?
	Just while you say that, think about the two things I want you to think about.
	There's no money in Houston.
	There's no money.
	People have no money.
	You can't buy anything.
	People aren't walking around with cash anymore.
	No money, no ATM. And how did that running away, how did that escape work for you with your electric vehicle?
	Did you evacuate really quickly?
	Did your vehicle short circuit yet?
	No cash.
	So, the other thing that is done by algos is climate.
	You made a good point.
	People should have $10,000 in cash, or at least $5,000 if they can't save that much, or at least $1,000.
	There's no money.
	I know, there's no money.
	People don't have money.
	They don't carry money anymore.
	They don't save money.
	My mother used to keep...
	Used to be the old-fashioned type.
	She'd always have thousands of dollars under the mattress.
	She did!
	But also, algos are also, this is the same technology, quote, that determines climate models.
	I mean, all of this stuff.
	And I'm glad people are starting, I'm happy for this TED Talk, because people start to think about it.
	They're only thinking about it in racist terms right now.
	But the algos in your life, and there should be an all-out attack on Silicon Valley for their, you know, they need to publish the algos.
	but now it's the secret sauce.
	Yeah, Yeah.
	I liked Weapons of Mass Destruction.
	It would be a good show talent if it wasn't so long.
	I kind of enjoyed it.
	Then I'd like to pop down under for a second as we've done great work in America.
	I mean, I'm so happy that...
	I'm so happy that we have such influence on Australia.
	They're now becoming just as retarded as we are.
	But let's turn now to the push to rename Father's Day Special Person's Day so children without a dad aren't offended.
	A growing number of politically correct schools and kindies are embracing the name change, but they're copying a lot of criticism for it.
	Now, earlier I spoke with Dr Red Ruby Scarlet, a university academic, If we think about children's rights and how they get to participate in a community and feel a sense of belonging, sometimes shifting the language around those emotive and important days can be significant and more inclusive than the current way that we describe them.
	So is it essentially though for children who don't have a dad for whatever reason?
	Yes, but also there are children who have a dad who also have a grandfather and also have an auntie and also have other kinds of relatives.
	There are also a huge range of different family structures.
	So we have single parent families, satellite families, extended families, lesbian and gay families.
	So there has been a backlash.
	There has been a backlash, but the backlash hasn't necessarily come from families in those communities.
	It's people outside those particular contexts.
	Your activist group is social justice in early childhood.
	Why is social justice important for little kids?
	There's a lot of Australian research that has actually informed a lot of international research, teacher research, for example, that has demonstrated children's capacity to be really inclusive once they know about these ideas and they think, wow, why are people seeing this as a controversy?
	Why are we calling this political correctness when in fact it's about our rights?
	Oh, it's our rights.
	It's our rights to not have a dad.
	Thanks.
	More war on men.
	Yeah, war on men.
	Yes, war on men.
	And special person also has a kind of a subtext of, you know, brain damage or something, you know, maybe handicapped.
	He's a special person.
	We should give him a special day for his special person.
	That's a subtext.
	That's what it implies.
	Yeah.
	As far as I can tell.
	Yeah, but it's...
	And it's a bogus holiday.
	Congratulations, Australia.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's way out in front.
	You guys are leading the way.
	You're now trending.
	You're thought leaders in this area.
	Very good.
	She kind of admitted that.
	We're great.
	Number one.
	We're great.
	We're doing...
	We're beyond the bullcrap you guys are doing.
	We put Kathy Griffin on the air.
	That's right.
	On the air and in the clubs.
	That's right.
	I read this article in Russia Insider because, you know, I collude with Russia.
	And it's from Dr.
	Paul Kindlin, who I don't know.
	He's a humanities professor.
	And he says, you know, I've been observing American society in an objective manner, he says, and it's become clear the country is suffering from an epidemic of arrested emotional development.
	This is a real thing.
	AED, arrested emotional development.
	This particular illness is characterized by some combination of What it means is that the vast majority of Americans are stuck in adolescence exhibiting behavior like lying, negative attitudes, disobedience, disrespect, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and issues of sexuality.
	One only has to watch American movies or television shows to get a snapshot of juvenile, puerile, and base comedy characteristic of adolescent humor.
	It's no accident that 42-year-old Jimmy Fallon is essentially the eternal teenager performing comedy that mostly includes bathroom humor and gags that are based on and appeal to a silly sense of immaturity.
	The other darling of late-night shows in America, Stephen Colbert, who specializes in insulting public figures in an overtly adolescent display of negative attitude and disrespect.
	Another hallmark of AED is to evade responsibility and blame others for failure, Hillary.
	One has only to observe the millions of Hillary supporters to understand this phenomenon.
	Also common for AED sufferers is to show disrespect in sophomoric ways, usually by damaging property as we see with monuments being defaced and destroyed.
	In terms of cognitive activity, AED is characterized by exaggeration over simplification.
	If you're angry with one of your parents, you might refer to them as Nazi or fascist.
	And this is an interesting observation to me.
	This is an article?
	Mm-hmm.
	Where was it?
	Russia Insider.
	Jeez.
	Arrested emotional development.
	Huh.
	It's linked in the show notes.
	People should read it.
	Yeah, and it goes on.
	I mean, you can really compare it to everything.
	They bring in Pussy Riot, and, you know, it's...
	And in conclusion, if everyone is a teenager, there's no adult supervision.
	That's the problem.
	After an autopsy is conducted years from now to ascertain how and why the American Empire expired, thanks, Russia Insider, the obituary will include multiple causes of death and AED will be listed prominently.
	Well, that's where you talk.
	Adolescents are the ones running the colleges now with their safe zones and running certain professors out of their job.
	Oh, man.
	Thank you for mentioning that.
	University of Nebraska.
	This is just a short video that popped up on the face bag.
	It's a video of a Nebraska, University of Nebraska employee, I think ultimately calls the cops.
	So these kids wanted to put outside of whatever hall on the public street, wanted to put a little table with some political material.
	I'm pretty sure they're Trumpers.
	And here's some of the audio of what took place, the conversation about why they couldn't be there and where they had to go.
	When you make a statement, what is big in government?
	And it sucks.
	Does it suck?
	I'm going to have to ask you guys to move this to the free speech zone or we'll have to have you and LPD remove you.
	It's completely up to you.
	Isn't this a public university?
	This is not with propaganda.
	Free speech all you want, but you cannot hand out propaganda.
	But isn't this a public university?
	It is.
	But this is a reservable area that requires a reservation.
	I've asked you once.
	If I have to ask again, I'm going to have to call UNLPD. It's up to you.
	Where is the free speech zone?
	Free speech zone is over here on the other side of the Memorial Plaza signs.
	What is she doing that violates free speech?
	This is a reservable space that requires a reservation that we don't have one.
	But I'm not inside.
	I'm on the public property.
	It's everywhere from...
	So the Constitution doesn't hold.
	From the two signs, okay?
	So if you're on the other side of the two signs, you've got free speech zones specifically over here between the sign...
	Is this a public university?
	...and Canfield.
	Yes, it is.
	So then why...
	It's the same reason you can't be inside, like in the bathroom.
	It's this particular part is a reservable part.
	But over there, it's free.
	He is correct.
	Free speech.
	Yes, public university, reservable space, free speech zone.
	It's like the same spot where the evangelists go?
	Yes.
	You guys can be over there.
	That is free speech.
	Here, because now you've got propaganda, you've also got a table reservation.
	Free speech zone over there.
	No propaganda here.
	That's not free speech, it's propaganda.
	If your kid is at the University of Nebraska, take your kid out of the University of Nebraska.
	They're insane there.
	Sounds like it.
	So Tucker Carlson had brought the story that didn't...
	I thought we had a pact.
	We do.
	We have a pact.
	But I had to play this because the mainstream media refuses.
	And I saw this last night and I thought, no, we have a pact.
	And you broke the pact.
	I considered it.
	We sometimes break the pact.
	But you were going to do it too.
	But I didn't because I didn't break the pact.
	Well, I broke the pact.
	I apologize in advance.
	But this story needs to be told because nobody wants to cover this story.
	And it's beyond me because if I'm at an editorial desk, I want to cover this story, but they don't want to cover this story, and it's a great story.
	Well, the saga of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her IT aide Imran Awan grows more complex and sorted by the day.
	Wasserman Schultz of Florida continued to employ Awan.
	He's a Pakistani national.
	For several months, even after he was banned from the House computer network as a security risk.
	She refused to fire him until he was actually arrested at the airport trying to flee the country to go back to Pakistan and then was indicted on several federal charges.
	Weirdly enough, the plot gets even stranger from there.
	A new report by Luke Rosiak of the Daily Caller News Foundation reveals that Awan actually had a second accusation Whoa.
	email is linked to another House staffer who specializes in intel issues and works for House Intelligence Committee member Andre Carson.
	Whoa.
	Mark Stein is an author and a columnist and despite being Canadian, seems to care a lot more about America's security than some members of the House of Representatives, weirdly.
	He joins us tonight.
	Mark, I'm running out of kind of non-sinister explanations for this story.
	I'm hoping you have Mark Stein's response in your second clip, because that was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
	I don't have his whole response because he went on for a while because he was on a roll.
	But I think the funnier...
	What I have, I think, is what you look for.
	But what I was going to say is the problem I have with this report is no source.
	Where did it come from?
	And all I hear and read, everything I could find about it was, he has a second email address and that gives him access to...
	That's bullshit.
	I want real...
	Give me some technological information here.
	Not just...
	He had a second email account, which is linked to the House Intelligence.
	Bullshit.
	Give me some...
	Did he have a login?
	Did he have a login?
	Mark Stein says he had a login of something like...
	But you know what I'm talking about.
	This is a shit report.
	It's terrible.
	He doesn't do news.
	He just wants to bitch.
	This is why we've self-banned him.
	But the only reason...
	But Stein had me laughing out loud.
	Oh, Stein is very funny.
	But the point that I'm going to make...
	After listening to that complaint, is we can't get anything about this story anywhere.
	Nobody wants to report on it.
	And all you're going to get is, which is why I had to break the self-imposed ban.
	The pact, yes.
	It packed.
	That's the word I'm looking for.
	I had to break the pact just because this is as far as we can get.
	You're right.
	It's a crap report.
	We know nothing.
	Where's the Washington Post on this?
	Where's the New York Times?
	Of course, they're...
	And here's what I concluded before I play the Stein stuff.
	I concluded this was a CIA operation from the beginning.
	CIA working in conjunction with the ISI. Yeah, sure.
	Pakistani, ISI, CIA, deep state.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, yes.
	And the reason for the $300,000 stolen from the Democratic Party, I guess.
	We don't even know that's true.
	No, that was from the Federal Loan Credit Union.
	Well, he stole it from somebody.
	From the Federal Credit Union.
	That was his payoff.
	And the reason he was getting so much money from Debbie Wasserman Schultz is because she wasn't really paying him anything.
	This is a spook operation for some reason.
	I don't know what they were up to.
	Huh.
	Yeah, that seems like a very logical...
	That seems...
	Occam's razor for you right there.
	Well, the saga of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her IT aid, Imran Awan, grows more complex and sorted by the day.
	This says number two, but it sounds like the same report.
	I may have not flipped right.
	Let me see if you got Stein in here.
	See if it goes on longer.
	Yeah, I think it does.
	...Rosiak of the Daily Caller News Foundation reveals that Awan actually had a second...
	No, it seemed...
	Go further.
	Maybe I got the two of them combined.
	I think he was a security...
	Yeah, okay.
	Yeah, okay, good.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Sorry.
	Let me roll it back a little.
	...ran Awan investigation.
	I really want to get it, but I don't have a way for him to look at it.
	...non-sinister explanations for this story.
	Yeah, because basically everything people, as I said on your show a couple of months back, basically everything people have been looking for in the so-called Russia investigation is actually here in the more or less uncovered Imran Awan investigation.
	This guy had his access to house email withdrawn because he was a security risk, yet he still had a house email.
	And the House email he had, which is something like 123 at House.gov, suggests that, in fact, he was rather deeply embedded inside the House email system.
	There's nothing...
	By the way, just to talk first principles here, Tucker, I don't actually see why a lot of low-grade congressmen actually require so-called IT aids.
	And the fact that they have them is a potential security risk.
	So in a sane world, they wouldn't have IT aids.
	But if they do, the idea that they subcontract them to one Pakistani family, who are taking home extraordinary salaries that bear no relation to what low-grade IT aids can command, and wind up owning four homes in the Washington area, and the official explanation for that is that he had at least two wives to support, being a devout Muslim...
	This story is malodorous to a degree that nothing surrounding Trump's involvement in the Miss Universe pageant in St.
	Petersburg or wherever it was is at all.
	And nobody's interested in it.
	Spot the spook.
	Spot the spook.
	Everybody wants to spot the spook.
	That's right.
	Spot the spook.
	A little insulting towards our dude named Ben in that particular bit.
	I didn't like that Stein said that.
	No great IT staffer.
	Well, next time your computer's not working, douche.
	Sorry, I take offense to that.
	Yeah, well...
	Yeah, we'd all like to know a lot more.
	Well, since they don't tell us anything, I have to assume this is a spook operation.
	It kind of gives itself away by that.
	I mean, because it's a good story.
	If I was running the New York Times, I'd want to run it.
	But no, they just stole a little side stuff.
	Oh, this happened.
	A guy got arrested.
	No big deal.
	Well...
	And we'll hear nothing more of it.
	No, no, no.
	I have one last clip, which was clearly a mistake.
	Big mistake.
	This is PBS. Now, PBS has their PBS Digital Studios, which exists for one reason and one reason only.
	Podcasting!
	Yes, and to cater to the advertisers.
	Yeah, but don't worry, we'll make a little bit, little thing for you.
	But they have kind of an interesting little 20-minute video.
	Isn't Ice Age coming?
	This is from the Space Time podcast.
	It's a video podcast.
	And this is the opening of it.
	And I thought to myself, self...
	This show's not gonna last.
	Earth's climate shifts between short periods of warm and long, long periods of frigid cold.
	Based on past patterns, there's reason to think that the current warm period might be nearly done.
	Is the Ice Age coming back?
	Or will human activity swing us wildly in the opposite direction?
	We live in an Ice Age.
	Our geological period is the Quaternary and is characterized by massive glaciation.
	Vast ice sheets stretching from the Arctic all the way down to the Missouri River through Siberia, much of Europe, and spreading out from all major mountain ranges.
	Okay, sure.
	Right now, we're in a brief interglacial phase, a relatively summary stretch in which the glaciers have retreated.
	But these interglacial periods are short-lived.
	The Quaternary Ice Age has lasted 2.5 million years so far.
	Its 10,000 to 15,000-year warm patches are separated by glacial periods that last several times as long.
	The current respite is called the Holocene Era.
	It began around 11,000 years ago.
	Temperatures rose, glaciers and woolly mammoths migrated north, and humans thrived.
	This new era of warmth and plenty saw the rise of agriculture, writing, cities, and technology.
	All of our recorded, even our remembered history, is of the Holocene.
	You might forgive us for imagining that these relatively summery millennia are normal for this planet.
	That is not the case.
	The current interglacial is already long.
	Does this mean that the glaciers are overdue?
	Is winter coming?
	To answer these questions, we need to understand what triggers the march of the glaciers.
	It goes on and on and on, but it's...
	This doesn't fit into the narrative.
	No!
	I'm telling you, this is not going to...
	This podcast...
	Download it now!
	I've always thought that the glacier is retreating.
	Oh my god, two years ago the glacier was here and now look at its back of five feet.
	I've always thought that was a plus.
	These damn glaciers, those things are nasty.
	Be afraid.
	Be afraid.
	Well, I got one last clip.
	One I can put off.
	Did you know that, by the way, this last Monday, a couple days ago?
	Three days ago?
	That was Valentine's Day.
	In what universe?
	China.
	Oh.
	I have a little report here, and there's a trend in China now that may catch on here.
	Yeah, I'm still looking.
	You want to help me out?
	China.
	Well, China and Russia in space is all I see.
	That doesn't make sense.
	You don't have Valentine's Day China?
	Ah, sorry.
	Yes.
	Well, some restaurants in China are not forgetting the millions of single people and are trying to make people feel a little less bad about being alone on TC. So they came up with a way to try to make people feel okay about dining alone.
	But does it make people feel better or worse?
	Now, you be the judge.
	Take a look at these pictures.
	If you eat out by yourself at famous hotpot chain, Haiti Lau, they will put a stuffed toy in front of you during your meal.
	Now you can find pictures of people's Valentine's Day meals with their new friends online, some uploaded by others, while some brave souls uploaded the pictures themselves.
	Not sure if you can ask not to have a toy dinner guest, but it's causing quite a laugh online.
	Now plenty of stories like this could be found under multiple hashtags.
	Now this is just one of them, this hashtag for Qixijie has 2.4 billion views already.
	Some Weibo users say they would rather stay home than eat with a stuffed toy.
	Others are talking about other interesting stories across China like this one.
	Now check out this guy proposing to his girlfriend at a hotpot restaurant with a bouquet of beef.
	Now this happened in Changchun in Jilin province.
	Apparently she loves to eat at that hotpot restaurant and they met there two years ago.
	Now for the big day, the restaurant helped him roll the beef into little roses and they used lettuce as the leaves.
	Now don't worry, there's a ring as well hidden at the top of the beef roses.
	She said yes and now people online are laughing at the video saying it is weirdly romantic and are wishing the couple the best of luck.
	Wow, what a way to end the show.
	What were you thinking?
	There'll be a meeting about this.
	Yeah, well.
	You know what impressed me most about that report?
	No.
	They sent out a picture of some guy with a doll sitting across from him.
	It got 2.5 billion views.
	Holy mackerel.
	Yeah, the guy's got girlfriends now.
	We get like three retweets on one of our things and we think it's a big deal.
	Alright everybody, make sure you retweet us then.
	Don't retweet that.
	And remember us for our show coming up on Sunday, Dvorak.org slash NA. We look forward to what will happen in the meantime and we shall report diligently trying to save amygdalas from coast to coast from sea to shining sea.
	And I am coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, here in the common law condo in the Cludio, five by nine.
	And that is FIBA region six, if you're looking for me on the map.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm nine dog biscuits by five by nine.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll return on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Until then, adios, mofos.
	Mama's all left, daddy's all right, I just need another way.
	No agenda, no agenda, deconstruct the news today I am you and you are me, I am you and you are me, is your slogan Auntie Maxine.
	She is me and I am her role reversal to the extreme.
	I'm voting Maxine.
	I'm Boatie Maxine in 2020.
	I am you and you are me.
	She's running.
	I hope so.
	I'll vote for her.
	But I am you and you are me, it sounds like a Beatles theory.
	I am you and you are me, yeah.
	She is definitely running.
	She's jacked up.
	The Beatles Song.
	The Beatles Song.
	I am you and you are me.
	We have power, we have influence.
	We will impeach you.
	Nice.
	Nice. .
	Ooh.
	Ooh.
	25th Amendment for the 45th President.
	Ooh, how to determine if someone's a sociopath.
	What a sociopath is a condition that prevents people from adopting to ethical and behavioral standards as a community.
	They're usually extremely charming and charismatic.
	Oftentimes feel entitled to certain positions, people, and things.
	They believe their own beliefs and opinions are the absolute authority and disregard others.
	They're rarely shy and insecure or lost words.
	They have trouble suppressing emotional responses like anger, impatience, or annoyance.
	They do bizarre, risky, and outrageous things without assessing repercussions.
	They're professional liars.
	They're manipulative.
	So many of the traits of a sociopath is managed to play.
	25 or 45 minutes.
	Ooh.
	25 or 45.
	The Beatles.
	Yeah, boys.
	Hillary.
	One of these politicians.
	All talk.
	All controlled by lobbyists and donors and donors.
	All controlled by lobbyists and donors, donors, donors.
	All controlled by lobbyists and donors and donors.
	People like me from previous months.
	Okay?
	Bing, bing, bong, bong. Bing, bing, bong, bong. Bing, bing, bong, bong. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Bing, bong, bong. Bing, bing, bong, bong. Bing, bing, bong, bong. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.
	They're going to...
	Call me.
	Not gonna be any good.
	They didn't give me any money.
	Not gonna be any good.
	They didn't give me any money.
	They didn't take care of me.
	I don't need it.
	I don't want it.
	I couldn't care less, couldn't care less.
	You are going to love President Trump.
	I couldn't care less.
	And I love China.
	Nothing wrong with China.
	I love the Mexican people.
	They have tremendous spirit.
	They're taking your job, taking your money, they're taking everything.
	And I'm going to win the Hispanic Club.
	Sure.
	Thank you.
	China, China, China from China.
	You are going to love President Trump.
	you know what that is, right?
	No agenda.
	Folks, I'm not kidding.
	This happened.
	Joan Rivers said it.
	And that she was dead.
	Fire was shooting out of her mouth like she was a dragon.
	And Michelle keeps in public photos and videos to appear to have a very large penis.
	A very large penis.
	Is this the final proof Michelle Obama is a man?
	Or is she just smuggling stuff in her pants that looks like a snake?
	It's kind of a joke to me.
	What is this hanging between her legs, jiggling and flopping around?
	Get that gun in line there.
	Big head.
	Big head.
	Way bigger than Obama.
	Walking like a man.
	Looking like a linebacker.
	Look at her shoulders.
	Look at her hands.
	Look at her head.
	What's going on?
	It's incredibly obvious.
	Joe Rivers said this in doubt.
	Either it's a fake thing in her pants, or it's real.
	Looks like she's back.
	She's back.
	Is this the final proof?
	Michelle Obama is a man.
	Question mark.
	Question mark.
	How do you call your wife Michael when it's Michelle?
	Michael and I.
	Michael and I.
	She has a sausage, a cucumber, but it's jiggling around.
	Flopping around.
	I'm not saying that Michelle Obama is a trainer.
	She carries a rubber snake around in her pants.
	That's much more plausible.
	Is this the final proof Michelle Obama is a man?
	I mean, one of her pants fell down and then she had a huge, you know, one hanging down.
	Looks like she's back.
	She's back.
	How do you call your wife Michael when it's Michelle?
	Michael and I. Michael and I. It looks like a cucumber.
