Hashtag DACA. Yeah,
we're screwed!
Oh yeah.
This is one of the best news stories that's come out.
I know.
If it wasn't for these hurricanes, they could really do something with this story.
And they should, and so should Elizabeth Warren.
She should be on every Sunday morning news show.
She could make hay with this.
I haven't seen her.
Did you just corner yourself into arbitration by admitting that you had requested your report?
Your protection?
No, I didn't do anything, actually.
That's what everyone's now saying.
Just some background.
Equifax.
Let's go background to the background.
This is a racketeering operation.
Okay, you may continue.
In the United States of Gitmo Nation, we have a couple of services.
Three, actually.
Equifax.
What are the three?
I don't know.
Equifax, Interfax, and Oldfax.
Alt-rightfax.
Fact-check-false.
Fact-check-false.
And these companies track your credit score based upon some magic formula, and your life is pretty much beholden to it.
When I moved back to the United States in 2005 or 2006, something later than that, When I was a kid, they didn't have these services.
Well, I didn't have any credit history, and I couldn't do anything.
You couldn't even rent an apartment.
Just recently, actually, you couldn't do anything until about three or four years ago.
I could barely rent an apartment without getting a co-signer.
One apartment had to pay six months in advance.
Remember in San Francisco?
Yeah, we trust you.
Pay us six months in advance.
You know, I haven't done the bat signal.
I haven't done any of this stuff.
Well, why don't you give us a little background on the background before the backgrounder.
Do you have any clips for this?
Well, yeah, I do, I think.
Yeah, I do have a clip.
Let's play the clip.
Okay.
I should say Equifax on there somewhere.
Yes.
The massive cyber attack on the credit report company Equifax has already triggered a class action lawsuit and calls for a congressional investigation.
Equifax revealed on Thursday that hackers earlier this year stole the personal information of 143 million Americans.
Here's Chip Reid.
Equifax keeps track of the credit ratings of American consumers, which means its database is a massive treasure trove of personal information, including birthdates, social security numbers, and addresses.
Aviva Leighton is a cybersecurity analyst.
This is basically the Irma of data breaches.
It's a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.
For the hackers, it's like finding a gold mine.
They can take out a mortgage, they can file tax refunds, they can file for Social Security benefits.
You name it, they can take all your benefits away.
What should your average consumer do?
Consumers need to be hyper-vigilant and monitor their accounts.
I apologize to every affected consumer.
Equifax CEO Rick Smith posted this statement on the company's website.
And while we've made significant investments in cybersecurity...
We have more to do and we will.
Maybe so, but this is the third major hack of Equifax in less than two years.
It makes you wonder, did they do as much as they could have done?
Critics also wonder why Equifax waited six weeks to announce the hack, and they want to know why three senior executives sold $1.8 million in Equifax stock soon after the hack was discovered.
Equifax says the executives did not know about the breach at the time.
The perpetrators of the hack have not yet been identified, but some experts say these massive hacks are often done by international cybercriminal organizations who then sell the information to Russia or China for millions of dollars.
Chip Reade, CBS News, Washington.
I'm surprised we haven't already blamed Russia or China.
Why haven't we blamed anyone?
There is not a word, not a single word about who might...
Usually with a hack like this...
Immediately, there's information about who it might have been, and of course, they have hired a private security firm, one recently acquired by FireEye.
Pew, pew!
Pew, pew!
So they got those guys.
Instead of having the feds...
They got the pew, pew guys.
Yeah, they did.
Pew, pew, pew, pew!
We got a threat vector map here.
Let me start backwards with that report.
There's a lot of this, bah, the insider sold so corrupt!
I'm going to have to say no.
Because they disclosed, I read the docs, I think it was 8K, is that what it is?
They disclosed the hack, which they say started somewhere between May and June, May and July.
And in the same report, which you do, which you file, you file that insiders sold stock.
And these guys have been locked up for a number of years, so it was kind of normal that they were going to sell after the lockup.
And I'm pretty sure that this breach was not known until long after it occurred.
So this shaming of these executives, I'm not buying that.
Well, I will buy it.
I can't completely buy it because you'd think they'd sold more.
That's what I'm thinking.
How stupid are these guys?
I mean, they only sold like a million.
That's like nothing, especially if you're going to get busted for it.
Yeah.
But, you know, anytime something happens in these companies, I don't care if they're a small, small company of five people or, you know, you have a lot of people, hundreds of thousands even, the word gets out.
It's a gossip mill, these companies, all of them.
If one guy knew about the breach, I'm sure within no time at all, everybody kind of at least had an inkling something happened.
Well, I think on their part, it's defensible.
We'll see.
But that the CFO didn't know seems unlikely.
But again, they say this is when we think it started.
That's not necessarily when they discovered it.
I didn't see a date of we discovered this on this date.
That wasn't in the filing.
Yeah, it's just a sloppily run operation.
Well, not only that...
It's shameful.
It's shameful.
They should be shut down.
But this website they put up, which, you know, WordPress with all its vulnerabilities, some kind of...
I read there was some issue with their certificate.
It wasn't reverse verifiable.
And, you know, asking for the last six digits of your Social Security is very abnormal.
Yeah, I had...
Yeah, there was a rumor going on that you could put anything in there and they'd tell you, yeah...
I tried that.
It worked.
It worked for me a couple of times, just putting it in random numbers.
Didn't work for me.
Yeah.
Did not?
I put a bunch of random stuff in there.
It says, no, you're good.
Oh.
Yeah, you're good to go.
So they should have spewed that back saying invalid.
It's not looking at the...
It's not looking at anything.
And then this...
As far as we know...
Nothing touched the core databases.
What is that about?
The core database?
The program.
That's what it's going to be.
We need to know what these guys are doing.
You know, when I was looking at the story, I'm like, what can I do to dig a little deeper in this?
And I went, ah, because I'd already gotten a clip, which I'll play for you.
I'll play it for you right after this one.
I got the body language lady.
She evaluated his video, the CEO, Rick Smith of Equifax.
This should be good.
Yeah.
Very stoic, very stiff, it seems.
And this is Bombard's body language.
You can find it on YouTube.
Link in the show notes.
And I don't know what he's reading off his eyeballs are moving to an extreme.
Oh, he's reading.
Of course he's reading.
Yeah, he's reading, but I don't know if it's like a big board.
I thought it was not a teleprompter.
It was obviously a board held near the camera.
Because it was off to the side.
It wasn't where a prompter is located, which is right at the lens.
Yes.
So it was somebody who was holding up a big sign with all these cue cards.
Yeah, cue card.
Yeah.
So what we're looking for is lies or other types of emotions that are slipping through.
The guy has a lot of tells.
He has a lot of doing this and a lot of pursing his mouth.
And here's the rundown.
Let's see.
Earlier today, we announced a cybersecurity incident that has impacted those who rely on us to protect their personal information.
And we can, with that, hold the mouth shut.
Let it go.
Pause on that one.
Refocus on the words you're reading.
That's why we see the squinting in the eyes, as you see on screen right now, because that was a big statement.
He is reading.
And as we'll find, he did not write this.
On July 29th of this year, we discovered that attackers had gained unauthorized access to certain Equifax data files.
We acted immediately to stop the intrusion.
Just on that for a minute, July 29th, here we are, September?
They had a lot of time to talk about this.
So they should have either a lot more information by now, don't you think?
I don't know.
I think it's from the...
From what's been going on with this company, I don't think they're competent enough to really develop a lot of information.
I agree.
I agree.
Here we go.
To stop the intrusion, we promptly engage a leading cybersecurity firm, which has been conducting a comprehensive...
Now, he's just reading you a list of facts.
That's it.
And his brain's not stuttering on it.
And his body is singing with him.
Now when she says his body is singing, that means that he's completely at ease, he's feeling good, his movements are good, so whatever he's reading he feels confident about.
Even though he's reading.
So his mind agrees with the words that he's reading off that paper.
The unauthorized access occurred between mid-May and July.
Unauthorized.
Go back and look at that.
The unauthorized access occurred between mid-May and July.
I don't know.
Go back to that.
The unauthorized access occurred between mid-May and July.
He's got conflict.
There's conflict in the mind on this.
That's what we're seeing.
It's not deception.
It's conflict in the mind.
It may be conflict that that's what they know so far, and they're not actually sure on the extent, and it doesn't seem they're really sure on the unauthorized.
I like that.
That's interesting.
Well, that was interesting because he already said it was July 29th.
What's he talking about now?
Well, because of the unauthorized.
It may have been an inside job is what I'm reading into this.
Yeah, you know, the more I look at this report, I keep thinking, I've been thinking inside job.
Files are too big.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's continue.
I'm pleased to report that the review found no evidence of unauthorized activity on our core credit reporting databases.
No evidence of unauthorized activity?
What?
Wait a minute.
Now I'm confused.
Now I'm confused with what he said.
I've been confused since the beginning.
And they're not actually sure on the extent and it doesn't seem they're really sure on the unauthorized.
I'm pleased to report that the review found no evidence of unauthorized activity on our core credit reporting databases.
On the core databases.
What is this?
Just the marketing database that everybody's in?
Everyone's in it.
This is clearly a disappointing event.
And that was an act.
Okay, acting.
That little mouth and then head down to the moment, that was an act.
And one that strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do.
I deeply regret this incident.
And more acting.
And I apologize to every affected consumer and all of our partners.
The partners, there's stress in the partners.
Now, that's the big thing.
Everyone's like, oh, it's about us.
But their business is not us.
They don't give a crap about the consumers, as he continues to call us.
He cares about the partners.
That's where their real business is, is in their partnerships.
I apologize to every affected consumer and all of our partners.
And where do we see the stress in the partners?
Watch here.
Both of them do it on partners.
And she shows this freeze frame of his eyes and he looks really worried.
Partners.
Cool, though, when you catch it.
Those are those past movements.
We all know that the threats to data security are growing by the day.
I know you all agree that our first priority must be to support consumers.
Together we will serve our customers, support consumers, and strengthen our data security capabilities.
He's got a lot of confidence in their response.
In the process, we will build a stronger company with many great days ahead.
This is my commitment to each of you and to all of our valued partners.
There you go.
So the takeaway from this is he's worried about the actual unauthorized access to the core database.
He doesn't really know that for sure.
And he is very concerned about partners.
About their partners.
Which is pretty much everything, anywhere that deals with finance and consumers.
Why couldn't you just say people, Americans or whatever?
It's just annoying.
I don't know.
And they've hired Edelman, so they've got the right people on it.
Although, I would say you want the other guys.
They're all owned by the same three companies now.
It doesn't really matter.
Oh, okay.
All right.
This is very bad.
I'm wondering if this was done by an insider.
This outside hack.
This is a big file.
You don't really need to get anything that big to make money stealing identities and all the rest.
You don't need that.
It's like buying an army tank so you can get Go up and down the freeway.
It doesn't make any sense.
I think it was an intelligence agency.
What would they do with that kind of information?
They don't already have access to it?
Well, they're the ones that can handle that kind of information, for starters.
I think that there's something up, and the intelligence agency had to steal the database.
Hey, man, our backup failed.
Can we have yours?
We need the list of everybody.
I got another just for you.
I got a Bombard's body language evaluation of Mark Zuckerberg, who you made a...
I was bitching, moaning and groaning about it, where he sits.
Back straight, Mark.
Back straight.
Yes, Dad.
Yes.
Would you like a little evaluation of why he does that?
I would love to hear that, sure.
Let's see.
Earlier today, we announced a cybersecurity incident that has impacted those who rely on us to protect their personal information.
And we can, with that, hold the mouth shut.
You're playing the same clip.
Let it go.
Paused on that one.
I'm sorry.
How did I do that?
By pushing the button.
Yeah.
Wrong one.
So, for me, the thing that I was really fascinated by, and always have been, is people, right?
And how people work.
You see how he's sitting?
Straight up.
Hands on his knees.
Head up.
Chin level.
Or as opposed to this guy who's mirroring Mark, he's slightly angled down in the face.
So he's submitting to Mark.
He's covering, he's open, he's dominating the space.
And he is purposely doing this.
And I'll show you how I know.
Is people, right?
And how people work.
You know, I was in college.
I studied psychology and computer science.
Very long, intense eye contact.
He's purposely doing it, looks away shortly, purposely doing that as well.
Thoughts come through, it gives a break, but it's to dominate.
And one of the things that you learn when you study psychology is that there are all these parts of the brain which are geared...
See how long he's holding that eye contact?
Now, normally when you have someone who's submitting to you and you're still continuously dominating them in the fashion that he's doing right now with his body posture, his intense eye contact, you're going to give them a break and relax your body so that they can relax and be relaxed as well.
So it's a relaxed atmosphere.
When your personality, as his is, is to dominate and control, you're never going to let them relax.
And here's the thing about this video.
When you watch it, when he's doing that stare that she spoke about, he looks just like...
His eyes look just like Data from Star Trek.
Yeah.
I'm telling you, it is a dead ringer.
Very eerie.
Yeah.
I think the guy's creepy.
Well, maybe he's...
He has homocapensis...
His head is rather long.
Maybe.
But he's procreated, so.
Did they adopt or they had a child, right?
It was theirs?
I believe it is theirs, yeah.
Because, you know, they can't procreate.
Well, that doesn't mean...
Well, okay, we can talk about that later, but let's get back to this.
Nobody knows what we're talking about.
The homocapensis?
Yeah, we have not really discussed it.
No, this is the world's longest tease.
We're not going to discuss it today either.
No, we're not going to do that.
We're great.
Yes!
There was so much interesting news.
Is that the end of the analysis of him?
I mean, it goes on forever.
I just want to do the stick up his butt thing.
Yeah, I didn't realize that was a trick.
Yeah, and he's doing it on purpose, and he's really man-spreading, which is the interesting part.
He has his hands on his knees and his legs apart with that straight back, and that is a dominant position.
But it is man-spreading.
I guess Steve Jobs could have learned a couple of things from this guy.
A lot of people can learn things from this guy.
Jobs used to put his legs up on the table and then show his nuts.
Woo!
And have you seen them?
I never saw him.
I haven't seen Steve for...
Well, he's dead now, but I mean, last time I saw him was in the 1980s.
But did you ever see Jobs Nuts?
No, I never...
Why would I see his nuts?
Well, you just said that's what he used to do.
No, that was written up in Vanity Fair, a very elaborate article.
I didn't know this.
And it was part of the movie.
And yeah, I had the guy on Silicon Spin, the guy who wrote the article, and he says jobs would disturb people because he'd wear these kind of comic book guy shorts, and then he'd throw his legs up on the table, and he had no underwear on, and his nuts were there for anyone to see, apparently.
And that was some sort of dominating thing, I guess.
I don't know.
Maybe he just...
You can look at it any way you want, I guess.
But I didn't have any idea that sitting up straight like that was a way of dominating people.
Yeah, apparently.
According to Bombard.
Bombard's body language on the YouTubes.
I'll give her the credit.
I'll defer.
So we have hurricanes approaching Miami, approaching Florida as we speak, and I got a text from...
Hold on a second.
Wasn't this big whopper, Irma, supposed to hit, according to our last show on Thursday, it was supposed to hit the mainland on Saturday morning?
Yeah.
Well, it's...
It didn't.
No.
No.
Funny how that works.
And these are the great models, and everybody on the East Coast is completely prepared, and I can even sense a little bit of disappointment.
I'm not kidding.
Everyone's happy, but I sense just a twinge of disappointment.
You're right.
But Horowitz's Tiki Hut still stands.
There's water on there.
So far.
Yeah, so far.
Did you send me a picture?
Send me the picture.
I got a picture in the newsletter, but I don't have an updated picture.
Oh, no, he's showing me the updated picture with the palm trees blowing in the background, and there's definitely water coming up a little bit.
But the Tiki Hut still stands.
Well, he got lucky.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sure if it went up the other side, the boutique would have been washed away.
Now, we had the news media really trying to prepare us for this fabulous event.
Biggest in history.
Yeah, biggest ever.
And things, I'm sure, will happen as this is a show day and it's now rolling up the coast.
Is it hugging the coast as predicted in the yet-again updated...
As far as I can tell, it hasn't hit Florida yet, so we don't know anything.
Here, I got new sounds.
John?
Yes, John, I'm out here.
I'm out here at the Tiki Hut.
And as you can tell, the wind is getting pretty bad.
But so far, it looks like we're going to be Tiki-free.
Everything will be fantastic.
And we'll be able to drink as soon as this thing dies off in the Gulf of Mexico.
Fabulous report, Adam.
Fabulous report.
I'm glad you stuck it out and you hung in there.
Stay safe.
All right.
All right.
Okay, John, we're out.
You like that?
You like my new sounds?
I like that.
That is the sound of the hail or something banging into the mic.
I even made a little crack in the microphone here.
Am I pounding the mic?
Yeah, this is pounding the mic.
Ah, it's perfect.
We didn't need your extra sound effects.
Pretty close to the real thing.
Makes you wonder.
So the question is, you know, let's just say this.
Go ahead.
Well, we do have a couple of reports that I've collected.
As do I. And the one that we want is the new one, which is the one that was Saturday morning when it was supposed to have already hit.
But it is the, I think it's the word I got here.
Irma Saturday.
Irma Saturday.
Good evening.
I'm Elen Quijano in Key Largo.
This is our Western Edition.
The Sunshine State is taking its first blows from Hurricane Irma.
Power was knocked out to tens of thousands today as the outer bands of the monster storm started lashing South Florida.
Tomorrow morning, the Keys are expected to take a pounding before the Category 3 storm barrels up the Gulf Coast.
Cities including Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Tampa are now expected to get battered with triple-digit winds and possibly a 15-foot surge of seawater.
The storm could dump more than a foot and a half of rain.
Tornado warnings have also been posted across South Florida.
Irma is about 400 miles wide, and it's still expected to cause plenty of problems across the entire Florida Peninsula.
About 17 million people live in areas under hurricane warnings.
More than 7 million in Florida and Georgia have been urged to leave their homes and get to a safer place.
The storm killed more than two dozen in the Caribbean.
Here in the Keys, evacuation orders are mandatory.
Still, some have chosen to ride out the storm.
Hurricane Irma's tropical force winds lashed the Keys this afternoon, hours before the storm's expected landfall.
Florida Governor Rick Scott's warning was unmistakable.
Do not wait.
Evacuate.
Not tonight, not in an hour.
You need to go right now.
The islands could be swamped, including half of the island.
Rick Scott, every time he comes on, he's got a different translator for the deaf.
Yeah.
Have you seen the Italian guy?
No.
I saw the lady.
I didn't see the Italian guy.
I've seen two or three different ladies, but there's this Italian guy.
He's tall.
He's a big Italian guy.
And he's got like a day's growth beard.
He looks very Italian.
And he's hilarious.
His eyeballs are bulging out and his mouth is opening and closing and he's Flaying his arms all over the place.
It's the funniest thing you've ever seen.
I gotta watch this.
Rick Scott is so non-dynamic.
He's in a wheelchair, so I'm going to give him that.
No, no.
It's your governor's wheelchair.
I'm sorry.
I'm a mistake.
Rick Scott is also not dynamic, but he has these pauses in between everything.
It's just boring.
The Italian guy makes up for it.
Good.
Good.
And I'm always watching the hand signer.
So much more interesting.
So much more interesting.
Like, oh, that seems cool language.
Yeah, I actually would like their...
I saw somebody signing the other day in the store and I said, geez, I wish I could understand what they were saying.
Yeah.
All right, continue with this report?
Yes, continue.
Key West, the storm surge is predicted to be 5 to 10 feet.
Anything over 3 feet is considered life-threatening.
It's time to punch out, and we need to get out of here.
Last-minute evacuees from the barrier islands filled up at this turnpike rest stop, one of the only places still selling gas.
We've been working really hard the last couple, like probably week.
Trying to get everything buttoned up.
And we don't know what we're going to come home to.
Longtime residents known as Conks have been through many a hurricane, but Irma, they say, is different.
You left a lot of people back there?
My mom and my aunt and my in-laws.
County officials opened four refuge sites on the Keys for those who stayed behind to ride out the worst of the storm.
One of those is Key West High School.
We're not certain that the Key West High School is even going to save them.
So we're worried about the people we love.
Across the state, at least 330 shelters are open.
11 of the 42 in Miami-Dade County are at capacity, including those that are pet friendly.
About 175 miles northwest of here is the city of Naples, one of the jewels of Florida's Gulf Coast.
It's expected to be one of Irma's first stops as it rumbles towards Tampa.
Jonathan Bigliotti is there.
There was a good report on, I think it was the Weather Channel, about dogs.
It's a real problem.
There are so many dogs that are associated with humans, many people having multiple dogs.
They show up at the shelter, and it's as many dogs as people, and it's a problem.
You just can't have animals roaming around the whole time.
They're fighting, they're barking, people can't sleep, and of course they have to do their business.
There's a lot of complaints.
Poop is the word.
Yeah, poop.
Their business.
Poop is the word.
Exactly.
I have a few responses from the Democrats on social media, which I'd like to share with you regarding Hurricane Irma.
Is this going to be entertaining because it's from FaceBag?
Yeah!
Here we go.
Oh, you said social media.
Okay, now you're talking.
Can't wait for Irma to smoke all them Trump supporters in Florida.
That's one.
I hope Irma leaves all these Trump supporters homeless and humble their asses.
Nice.
Hey, Trump supporters who live in Florida, stay there.
Irma's for you.
Don't come up north.
We don't want you.
Do these dipshits have any clue that it was at least probably, it was pretty close to a half and a half votes or half of the people that were Hillary supporters?
No.
Also, they may not realize...
Well, let's continue to read.
Yeah, keep going.
Can we just put Donald Trump and all his supporters in a house right by the ocean when Hurricane Irma's supposed to hit first?
Hashtag DACA. Here we go, Michelle.
I wish there was a way to direct Hurricane Irma to Trump, his family, and his current supporters.
Now, that's really kind.
Oh, wow.
Hurricane Irma needs to take Trump and his supporters away.
Hashtag defend DACA. I hate to be cruel and all, but I hope Irma also destroys the homes of Trump supporters!
Trump's home!
Austin's home!
Walter Palmer's!
And Rick Scott's!
Ah!
Hurricane Irma needs to land directly on America where all of Trump and his supporters are so we can rejoice to Mother Nature.
And finally, we should round up all the Trump supporters and leave them directly in Hurricane Irma's path.
It's really sad.
The beautiful, loving people of America wishing death and destruction upon people.
Supporters, no less.
I mean, supporters.
Like, you're a supporter of the Red Sox.
You're a supporter of the...
49ers.
Any more random teams you want to name?
No, that's about it.
Warriors!
I could do Warriors, Bulls, and the Heat, and I'm done.
I do have a clip from...
By the way, I should mention there's a good report on CBS describing finally getting down to the nitty-gritty about this giant storm.
And out at the – you know, like what's going to happen on the East Coast?
Well, there will be a surge because there's going to be – that's the part of the – Storm where you have a lot of action in the drink.
But the winds are only going to be probably 40, 50 miles an hour on the tiki hut, max.
The tiki.
We need a tiki measurement system.
It needs to be some sense.
The string is nine on the tiki hut scale.
It's only within the 35-mile radius of the eye, where you have the so-called eye wall, where you have those hurricane waves.
Those high speeds, the 150 to 180 miles an hour.
So if you're not within 35 miles of the I, it drops off rather radically.
It's raining and it's a mess, but it's not.
Now the I is apparently to make, this is great, to make landfall in Lee County.
Named after Robert E. Lee, I might add.
Deserves it.
Face bag post coming.
Face baggers will really have a nice time with that.
That's right, John.
It appears that it's going to make landfall in a very racist county.
Tell us more.
Tell us more.
I understand there's a lot of statues there.
Yes, well, Lee County was named after the controversial General Robert Ely, and I think that she's going to take down the statues of them.
God, I love that.
Thank you.
Let's listen to Texas Governor Abbott, since we're on hurricanes, talking about something very important that is now happening in Texas, because we're not done with Harvey.
We still have a lot of issues, and it's going to take a long time to clean up.
Well, the sewage, there's all kinds of disease.
Talk about some current and looming healthcare-based issues.
A key issue that we are focused on is vector control for mosquitoes.
The state of Texas has a vector control task force working with...
So how did now the mosquitoes not get blown out into smithereens?
No, now they come.
This is mosquito season.
All you need is a little bit of standing water in Texas and you're done.
You got mosquitoes and they're horrible.
Horrible.
So this is going to be a big problem.
The issue that we are focused on is vector control for mosquitoes.
We have a, the state of Texas has a vector control task force working with local officials as well as working with federal HHS as well as federal Department of Defense.
We are prioritizing areas for aerial spraying.
Local spraying has already begun.
State spraying should begin this week.
The Department of Defense will help with wide area spraying.
100% of the funding for all of the vector control spraying will be paid by the federal government for spraying that is done within the first 30 days.
I don't know why Texas would allow the government to spray its citizens, but okay.
Sure, it's all good.
I thought you were going to drop the chemtrails jingle in there.
I thought it was a little too obvious.
Okay.
Big question is obviously about what kind of economic impact hurricanes have.
And I was quite surprised to hear President of the New York Fed, William Dudley, say the following.
You know, the first consequence is it actually pushes down economic activity because it disrupts commerce.
It disrupts the ability of people to do their business.
Also, it will tend to push up prices.
Initially, we saw Hurricane Harvey, a big increase in gasoline prices.
But those effects tend to be pretty...
The longer run effect of disasters, unfortunately, is that it actually lifts economic activity because you actually have to rebuild all the things that have been damaged by these storms.
So I think when we think about the impact of these storms, first of all, it's going to make it very difficult to read the economic data over the next few months because it's hard to know exactly what the data would have been x the hurricanes.
And then second, I think it will actually end up boosting the economy as we get to later this year.
I hate to ask this, but is there a point at which a storm becomes so damaging that the normal rules that we talk about, which is this dip and this return, don't necessarily apply?
I know it hit Sandy and it bounced back from that and there was little effect, but the trajectory of this storm looks different.
Well, it could stretch out that period of disruption.
So I think the amount of time in which the storm is having negative impacts on the economy could be longer if the destruction is more severe and more widespread.
Do you think that's true?
That it actually boosts economic growth?
I don't...
From his argument, I'd say yeah.
Because I went back and I looked to see economic differences in previous hurricanes.
I couldn't find any.
Well, you can't find anything you want anymore on Google, obviously.
It's just impossible.
You can't find anything.
Not the stuff you want.
Yeah, it's screwed.
But I couldn't find anything that backed that claim up.
But he is from the New York Fed, and he might know.
Yeah, I would hope he knows.
Yeah, he might know.
But the best clip I have for you, and there was a lot of, even, you know, I'm all about weather modification, earthquake machines.
We had a lot of different things going on just in this past week, and we need to talk about the earthquake in Mexico.
Also, large-scale X-flares, solar flares.
Like, we had a 9, a 9 X-flare.
That's pretty decent.
That can disrupt a lot of things, but it also does stuff to the weather.
On CBS, and I mentioned that specifically, as you have coined it, the Central Intelligence Broadcasting System, we find our friend Michio Kaku, the scientist, talking about controlling weather.
And how it's applied, how it's done, and some interesting little gotchas in here.
You know, they were talking about climate change yesterday, and now we're learning that scientists and researchers are looking at how to change the weather on purpose.
That's right.
Lasers now can one day manipulate rain and lightning.
CBS This Morning contributor Michio Kaku is a physics professor at City College of New York.
Professor, nice to see you.
I mean, lasers?
Really?
To change the weather?
That's right.
Well, as Mark Twain once famously said, everyone complains about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it.
Well, instead of doing a rain dance, we physicists are firing trillion-watt lasers into the sky to actually precipitate rain clouds and actually bring down lightning bolts.
This is potentially a game changer.
But this is experimental.
It's experimental, however, in the laboratory so far it works.
When you have water vapor and you have dust particles or ice crystals, you can precipitate rain.
It condenses around the seeds.
These seeds can also be created by laser beams.
By firing trillion watt lasers, you rip apart the electrons, creating what are called ions, and these ions act like seeds, like dust particles, bringing down rain and even lightning.
Go ahead.
We have some of these capabilities now.
Inconclusive.
Even in the 60s, the CIA used this to bring down monsoons during the Vietnam War to wash out the Viet Cong.
Governments have been playing with this thing.
Alleged to.
I love this.
So he's the first one to bring up CIA. On the CIA broadcasting system.
The CIA used this in the 60s, even though it's unconfirmed and conclusive that it works.
Yeah, we tried to drown out, get monsoons and flood Vietnam.
And then she jumps in.
Alleged.
Alleged.
Let's not get in any trouble with it.
Defending the HQ. Defending the boss.
HQ. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I use this to bring down monsoons during the Vietnam War to wash out the Viet Cong.
Governments have been playing with this thing.
Alleged to.
Alleged to, right.
Now, we realize that for decades...
If you wait a second...
Then we'll talk about it.
People use alleged when they don't need to.
It gets better.
In the 60s, the CIA used this to bring down monsoons during the Vietnam War to wash out the Viet Cong.
Governments have been playing with this thing.
Alleged to.
Alleged to, right.
Now, realize that for decades now, these governments have been alleged to have experimented...
He does it himself.
Alleged.
Now he's...
Oh, shit!
I forgot to use the alleged word.
The agency they told me.
I'm...
You had a gripe about nefarious use of alleged?
No, let it play out.
Is that the end of it?
Well, that's not the end of the clip, but that's...
Oh, no, then play it out.
I don't want to go disrupt it.
...war to wash out the Viet Cong.
Governments have been playing with this thing.
Alleged to.
Alleged to, right.
Now, we realize that for decades now, these governments have been alleged to have experimented with weather control, but nothing conclusive.
This time, we're bringing in the laws of physics rather than simply waving our hands and uttering mumbo-jumbo.
We're actually using trillion watt lasers now.
And in the laboratory, sure enough, they precipitate rain out of water vapor.
Sure enough, you can actually bring down electricity down the beam.
So what does it mean for drought areas that need to have rain for crops?
And if they don't have them, there's the consequences of famine.
Well, the bad news is if it's a clear blue sky, it's not going to do anything at all because it only takes water vapor that's already in the air and condenses it.
However, for floods, for agriculture, farmers, for people planning waiting parties, football games, you name it, outdoor events and agriculture and flooding and even hurricanes, all of them could be subject to weather modification.
Uh-huh.
And just looking at the track and all of the models that claim that it was going to hit Florida head-on, maybe we should be looking at something else besides this news story.
If this thing was pushed, you know, just push it away and we won't kill anybody.
Well, you want to push it away from Mar-a-Lago.
Well, I don't know how much control they have.
The best thing about this clip, it's from 2013.
Ooh, nice.
How about that?
Good, gotcha.
How about that?
And while we're on it, let's open the gate for a moment.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate!
Yes!
Revisiting the climate gate from, what is it now, eight years ago?
How long was that to go, the climate gate?
The emails, remember the emails with the falsified information?
That was probably about eight years ago.
Yeah, falsified information, and then these emails were...
Every once in a while, a new falsified information story comes up in the...
Don't talk about it.
And do you remember that they said that they had been hacked?
Oh, these emails have been hacked and it looks like it might have been changed.
Do you remember that little narrative they had running?
I think there may have been an attempt at that, but then it was verified.
No, that didn't get very far.
Well, it was brought up again on the Sam Harris podcast.
Worth a listen.
What was ClimateGate and how did that affect the public perception of this issue?
At the end of the day, the hacked emails were, you know, the subject of six There was no there there.
I will say that we never found out the source of the hacking, but in the light of recent events, I think the most likely scenario is Russia.
I mean, obviously, there are experts.
Of course!
Clip of the day!
Yeah, woo, everybody!
Clip of the day.
Why does the guy talk so adoidal?
Has he got something stuck in his nose?
Who cares?
I thought it was hilarious.
There was no there there.
No there there.
I like that this is, again, one of these examples we use on the show a lot.
These attempts to rewrite history by just lying and lying and lying about something that is proven to be true and just saying, no, that wasn't true, it didn't happen.
No, no, no, it didn't happen.
Yeah.
Well...
That's a good one.
What podcast was this?
Sam Harris.
Sam Harris is a major, major left-wing guy.
Hillary, super Hillary fan.
Hates Trump.
Scott Adams did a podcast with him.
Went on his podcast.
Oh, okay.
That was all right.
Sorry.
Anyway, I think we can conclude that the climate models, or the weather models in this case, weren't too good.
There was only one spaghetti string that kind of had this path.
And now let's look at the solar flares.
And by the way, this path isn't finished.
Oh, we have no idea where it's going to go.
I don't think anyone has an idea.
It could bounce off of Naples or wherever it's going to be in Lee County, wherever that is.
And it could bounce out and go back into the ocean and it kind of just whacked the west coast.
Or it could move in toward Orlando.
Which I don't think it will do.
That would be against all the rules.
That's where Disney is.
Nothing can be destroyed there.
Right, so they can't get within 35 miles of Orlando.
We'll fire up the trillion watt laser.
And just move it over.
Just move it away.
Get out of here.
Yeah, send it back to Louisiana.
Don't take the heavy rains because it cleans the place, especially Sleeping Beauty's castle.
Very difficult to clean that tower.
Yeah.
So they'll soap it up.
Yeah.
And then that rain will come to you and it'll get the sucker clean as a whistle.
Well, I'm going to think that there's really not going to be that much damage.
There'll be a lot of water, but I really feel...
And I've been telling Horowitz all weekend.
I don't think so, man.
I don't know why, but I'm no scientist.
I said, I'm looking at all these maps and even Tina said, like, once it hits the Straits of Florida, then it'll get more power from the war.
And it did, but it just seems like it doesn't want...
It just doesn't want to do its job.
If his job was to destroy St.
Martins and Barbuda, it did the job.
And so on St.
Martin, the U.S. military came in, evacuated all American citizens, and there were two Brits?
And the military said, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
We can't take you.
You're not American citizens.
And it looks like no one came for them from the UK. Well, there's a lot.
There's mixed messages on so-called evacuation.
I have a clip.
Play St.
Martin Report.
And there's some woman, an American, bitching about this.
People there.
Irma was a Category 5 storm when it made landfall in Cuba, the first time that's happened since 1932.
The hurricane spared Puerto Rico from a direct hit, but St.
Martin fared much worse.
One official there estimates 70% of homes on the island are destroyed.
Some Americans are trapped and say the situation is dangerous and terrifying.
We just do need to bring attention to the fact that there are Americans here with no evacuation plans from either the Dutch, French, or the United States government.
The Department of Defense says it started evacuating Americans from St.
Martin.
More than 150 evacuated yesterday, and another 700 were moved out this morning.
I just thought that one woman said, there's no plans, we're stuck here.
And then meanwhile, no, the official report is...
They're being evacuated.
Yeah.
So I wonder, you know, one of the things I've noticed, and there's another, this is one last, I don't want to keep playing these clips, but I've got this weird clip that showed up, it was on, I think it was on CBS.
This is the Irma, it's Irma, Boats in Mangroves, play this.
Jack, I don't know if there's anything on the water that's going to be fully safe.
No, this is four times larger than something that came through here 25 years ago.
All the boats you see here right now are normally not here.
What people have done is tucked them in and tied them up along the mangroves to try to protect them.
Those mangroves should provide a natural barrier, and they think the boats will be okay.
Unfortunately, many people have also made the decision to stay on those boats.
Why are you staying?
I think we'll be all right.
You think you'll be all right?
Yeah, we have a big water case in the boat.
A thousand gallons of water in the boat.
Keep it down.
We'll sit here just as happy as it is.
Not recommended.
Yeah.
If they choose to stay, and this is a tough decision that they're going to have to make, there is going to be a time in this area that we're in that it could be up to 72 hours before we can even come down here.
And if they yell for help, we can't provide it, which is part why we give those evacuation orders.
It is one of the heartbreaking realities here for police that once winds reach that sustained level of 45 miles an hour, they cannot and they will not...
Now, so here's what I've been watching.
And we've heard reports of probably the last three shows, two shows.
There's that woman who has the house built out of iron or something.
Glass can't be broken by bullets, and she's staying in her house.
And there was a couple that I didn't get a clip of, but they're on this Miami condo right on the beach.
And they are going to stay there.
And they're, oh, you know, it's dangerous.
You should go to, no, no, no, we're going to stay.
And the thing about the condo is it had metal window covers.
Oh.
So you could, you got your windows, it had a kind of a porch and then you had your big, you know, your doors and windows there.
And then these metal things go right over it.
Right.
And then they have these people in the boats who are going to push themselves into the mango groves.
I have no idea what that's all about.
But apparently these groves are designed to take a beating.
And so there and there.
And then there's another guy in Puerto Rico.
We heard that clip before.
The guy says, oh yeah, people are afraid because their houses aren't well built.
I built my own house.
I know how strong it is.
Here's what's going to be disappointing to me.
They're not going to follow up on any of this.
No.
They're not going to go back to the old man in Puerto Rico.
They're not going to go to the people that were up in the condo.
I want to know what happened.
Unless he's dead and mangled and an arm sticking out of some rubble, then they'll go back.
You might be right.
But I would like to get a follow-up report on all these people.
The people in the boat.
I want to hear what they had to say.
Oh my god, I'd never do that again because we were sick as a dog.
The boat was being thrown all over the place.
Or maybe not.
I don't know.
I'll never find out.
We'll be back to Mueller investigation by tonight.
NSNBC is already doing that.
They're already doing that.
But I think there's a lot of Here's what I'm always thinking.
There are some houses that stand up to these storms.
In fact, when they went to Barbuda and they showed, the place is flattened.
But there's a place or two that's just still there.
Made of cinder block or whatever.
It was Hemingway's house.
I saw a report on that.
It's a museum.
The caretaker, he was interviewed.
It's not on the cape.
Yeah, he said this thing has been around since the 1900s.
It's made of pure stone.
It's not going anywhere.
It's the wooden houses.
We build shit houses in America.
We really do.
Overpriced wood and sheetrock.
Well, in California, you have to build a wooden house.
Yes, that's true.
Let's talk about that for a second.
I'm going to go back to the solar flares.
These solar flares are of significant importance to me for a number of reasons.
First of all, they can disrupt hand radio transmissions, and you can tell the bands have been definitely problematic.
But big flares like this influence things on the ground here on Earth.
And this Mexico quake, from what I understand, and you'll know this better than I do, John, the Pacific plate, or whatever that is, shifted under the West Coast plate.
I mean, you'll know these names, hopefully.
For like 50 feet, 50 or 60 feet, shifted under that plate.
Yeah, it happens.
That's a pretty significant move.
It's about right.
I'm expecting a few more earthquakes.
There's got to be.
A move like that, I think there's going to be more.
Well, I mean, there's two theories to these quakes.
One of them, it upsets the balance and things have to readjust up and down that rim of fire, as they like to call it.
The ring of fire.
Yeah, ring.
The ring of fire, which is also the earthquake.
You're thinking of something else.
And so, anyway, so the shifting has to take place.
That's theory number one.
That can happen with a quake.
The other one is that it was a release.
So it was like you've got some tightness over it.
And you get no earthquakes after that.
Okay, it's possible.
When it's a big move like that, it seems to be more of the latter.
I don't think we're going to see just overdue quakes around here, that's for sure.
But there's also some reports, and I don't have any clips of this, but if you read it round enough, Mimi's reading, but she likes reading about this stuff.
They, the, all the, the Ring of Fire has a bunch of, we have a bunch of unresolved volcanoes on the west coast that could still go off.
And one of or two of them, it looks possible that they could.
Nice.
And including Mount Rainier, which would be a water.
That would be a big one, yeah.
And also Shasta and a couple in California.
It, it, People are thinking that we're going to have a volcano eruption probably in the next couple of years, as long as it's not Yellowstone.
That will probably disrupt things quite a bit.
And it could be in California, it could be in Oregon, or it could be in Washington, which is where all the volcanoes, active volcanoes exist.
Yes, we have active volcanoes in California.
My friends who follow the end times and tribulation Say that although this is not...
We are not yet in tribulation.
Wait for it.
Hey, you know, you can't do this on M5M media because you get laughed at.
So I might as well just...
I shouldn't be laughing at you.
Because God knows it could happen.
Yes, here's what could happen.
The theory is two hurricanes will be followed by three earthquakes.
So that's it.
Well, we've already had three hurricanes...
Followed by one earthquake.
So we got two more.
The total is the same.
Two more.
Two more to go.
Two more to go.
I am just throwing it out there.
It's like all the celebrities that die in threes.
At age 27 with a white big lighter.
Weapons of mass destruction.
Did we mention on the show that the white big lighter was not invented in time for two of these deaths?
You did now.
Yeah.
Algo time.
Algo time.
Big news.
Big news from the algo world.
This was a fantastic story that came out in The Guardian about new artificial intelligence that can detect the sexuality of people.
And I think everyone's discussing...
No, sexual orientation.
Sexual orientation, I'm sorry.
And I think everyone is missing a couple of big points.
I do have a backgrounder, actually.
Do you have any clips?
Because I was looking for a clip for this.
Yeah, I got a clip.
I got a clip.
This is one of the researchers from Stanford who produced this study.
It's a real problem, by the way.
What?
Never mind, just go on.
A study published in a peer-reviewed journal suggests that machines could have better gaydar than humans.
It's all arisen out of data analysis of dating sites, and one of the authors of the study, Michal Kaczynski, joined me earlier.
He's an assistant professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University.
I asked what he wanted to achieve with this study.
Well, we're trying to sound an early warning related to the fact that it is now possible to use AI technologies to infer our intimate traits.
So, first of all, this is not really reported anywhere, except, I think it's a BBC interview.
The point of the study was to show how dangerous algorithmic computing resources can be.
That's not mentioned.
I like that that's why they did it, but I see a lot of problems with this.
...related to the fact that it is now possible to use AI technologies to infer our intimate traits from different types of digital footprints.
In the past, we have studied likes and status updates and other types of digital footprints.
This time, we turned to facial images that people are leaving behind while using Internet and digital products and services.
Right, you got all your images from dating sites, I think?
We got images from a publicly available dating website and also from some participants who volunteered their images to our research.
Okay, but as I understand it, if you have a randomly selected group Of men, and you have five images of each man, you will predict around 47 times out of 100 if someone is gay.
You'd be right, 47 times out of 100.
But that's not very good, is it?
Sort of 50-50?
That's well, that's very good.
I think that the fair comparison is when you look at just comparing between a face of a straight man and a gay man, and in such case, the accuracy would be 92%.
Just another issue is, you know, you've talked about the physical features, the jaw shape and that kind of thing.
Stop, stop.
So that was interesting.
I don't think the reporter was getting it.
No.
He said 92% is what the accuracy is.
Yes.
Between straight and gay if you have a mix.
Yes.
Which is high.
Yeah.
Now we had a clip some time ago from one of the TV shows which exploited this because they've studied human behavior and most men and women can spot a gay face.
And it was introduced into a drama that was one of these, and I think we have a clip.
I don't know if you can find it.
It might be under Gaydar or something like that.
But the 47% is out of a general population is that you can pull, because there's only a small portion of the population that's gay.
Depends on who you talk to, but it's between 5% and 10%, maybe less.
So if you can pull those out at a rate of 47%, that's actually quite astonishing.
Yeah, although I'm...
But it is different than the 97% or whatever I said.
Right, but hold on a second.
Let's finish the clip.
It's only 35 seconds.
Just finish the clip and I want to talk about this.
And a gay man.
And in such case, the accuracy would be 92%.
Just another issue is, you know, you talked about the physical features, the jaw shape and that kind of thing.
To what extent did your algorithm rely on more socially determined things such as hairstyle?
Using all of the features altogether obviously provides for the most accurate prediction, but just using morphological features, so just the shape of your facial features, such data is already pretty revealing, allowing for predictions of an accuracy of above 80%.
So, yeah, very high, although I'm pretty sure if I looked at pictures from a dating site, my gaydar would detect 90% accuracy.
Maybe.
Because there's a big difference between...
But you're looking and you have experience and you're older and you have, you know, the scene and there's a lot of other variables there.
We're talking about a computer.
But you're making my point.
You're making my point.
It would be even easier in audio.
You give me 10 guys who talk, you know, mature guys who are on a dating site, which is where the data comes from, you're going to hear the gay guy.
I disagree with that.
I think you'll hear a lot of gay guys.
I think I can get 90%.
But once you get outside of the, I would call, the gay stereotype areas where they like to be gay.
But who's on a dating site?
Thank you.
You're making my point.
Why are you stopping me?
Because I had to remind you.
If you go to Iowa, you go, let's say, to the Midwest and Kansas.
In fact, there was a whole special on KQ, PBS NewsHour, regarding this, is that most of the gays in the country dislike this stereotype gay that we have out here on the West Coast, the guys who...
It's not just on the West Coast.
It's everywhere.
But hear me out.
What the report was about, it's not everywhere.
No, the report is saying something different.
I'm sorry, the actual study.
I'm not talking about your report, I'm talking about what they were discussing on NewsHour.
But I'm trying to make a point.
Okay, well go on, finish your point, and then I'll argue later.
I want you to listen.
I want you to listen to what I'm saying.
The data they used was a dating site.
So it's either going to be straight, gay, or bi.
And I'm pretty sure...
You said a lot of volunteer photos were sent in.
Some.
Not a lot.
Some.
Some.
But I read the report.
I looked at the data.
Most of it was from dating sites.
And I'm pretty sure if you're gay and you're looking for someone who's gay on a dating site, you're going to be your best gay.
You're going to put your gay on.
And I do want to point out that While all of this conversation is going on, people are very loosely using the term gay.
And it does say, specifically in the study, following the APA's recommendation, the term gay is used to refer to same-gender sexual orientation.
So they haven't quite caught up with the LGBTQIAAP. But I digress from that.
The main problem with this study is, and what is not being discussed, is it presumes, and even says so, strong support for the theory that sexual orientation stems from exposure to certain hormones before birth, meaning people are born gay, and it's not a choice.
That's what's interesting about this study.
Not that AI can detect it amongst only white men and only men.
I don't think that's such a big deal.
I really don't.
Who are acting gay on a dating site.
I don't think that's a big feat.
I think a big feat would be for one of our producers to do the song Born Gay in the model of Born Free.
But that's kind of what this is doing, is cementing into fact.
And you'll see, this will come back to us maybe a couple years from now.
Well, the study proved that you're born gay.
It's not a choice.
That's what's going on with this study.
I don't like it.
You're probably right.
And coming out of Stanford, that would make nothing but sense.
Yes, precisely.
But at the same time, we got a bunch of problems with these damn algos.
And, you know, the fact that they did that to prove this point, okay, I guess.
I guess that's nice.
What thoughts did you have?
I really didn't have much.
I thought you were going to argue.
Once I laid out my case.
I think you're right.
I think this whole thing is bad.
This is just bad news.
That's right!
The Algos are coming for you!
Algo, Algo Gotta chase those Algos They're everything that we need to know about you So that we can bring you deals With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you.

We've had 962 of them so far.
And we want to thank Conan Salata.
He's done a couple of them recently for his outstanding work on episode 962.
Title of that episode, Service Pony.
Observer's Pony.
And just a great shot of a cute girl in a bikini standing in front of the storm surge, like the good M5M media always does.
We laughed immediately.
And there's all kinds of little gotchas in there.
It was excellent.
We have a lot of excellent producers and associate executive producers today, too.
Starting with Robert Osigueta.
You know, he never sent me...
I went back and forth and back and forth because this took forever.
He's got some new system.
He donated through something called P2P. P2P? Yeah, P2P, and some banks, I guess, use it person-to-person, P2P. And it comes in as a message, and then you have to, it's a little like pop money, but it's a little easier to use.
Is it like Zelle?
There's another one called Zelle.
I don't know what that is.
It sounds similar.
So P2P comes in, and it sends you a message saying, Robert wants to send you this money, and it was $831.01.
And so unlike the $5 thing, you really jump to.
And I never got the message, but he got the message and forwarded it to me.
And then when you go to their site, you can give it a PayPal account.
And noagenda.dvorak.org is such an account.
And it goes right in, boom, just as though it was a PayPal thing.
Except for one thing.
You go look at the money, there's no PayPal fee.
Ooh.
That's interesting.
And with $831, that's quite a bit of savings.
Yeah, that's cool.
What's it called again?
Peer-to-peer?
P2P. P2P. All right.
We'll keep our eye on it.
Yeah, we're going to look into this.
I never heard of them.
I mean, I've been pretty caught up with the pop money, and pop money is a little harder to deal with because unless your bank uses it and it can push it right into the bank account that we have here, it becomes a problem.
And it doesn't work as advertised.
Because I have to go and you have to approve it and then you have to send it to the bank and then they say, I don't like that bank number.
That bank number doesn't work.
Wait a minute.
That same exact bank number works fine when it's bank to bank.
How come it doesn't work now?
And so it's like a customer service issue with PopMoney, from my perspective.
I think I can smooth it out, but I haven't been able to yet.
But this worked like a dream.
Yeah, it sounds a lot like Zelle, Z-E-L-L-E, and it works exactly the same way.
Well, I've never seen a Zelle thing.
Yeah.
All right, well, let's continue with Robert.
Robert writes, and this will put me through the knighthood.
I never thought I'd be able to make this much of a contribution at one time, but a vacation I'd been saving for fell through.
So I went to someplace closer, and I had some scratch to spare.
Spare scratch.
Scratch, scratch.
I ended up in a thoroughly B universe place in East Hampton, Massachusetts.
I almost panicked.
However, with a little help from my friends, I straddled the universe as I was able to survive and even learn a little something.
I think I might have figured out why the female-type humans are so pissed around here.
When the Europeans landed in this northern parts of America, they landed in a five-nation confederacy of one million inhabitants who had lived in prosperity, peace within the confederacy, and no poverty, no police force, no jails for over 200 years.
They're the ones who inspired Benjamin Franklin and the other founders of the Republic of the former Union with the 13 colonies.
The founders copied most of the Indian forms of government.
The natives were...
I love the simplicity of this.
The natives were much more civilized than the newcomers.
They resolved problems by consensus.
Everyone should speak their concerns in the longhouse.
Wait, is this what he learned while in Massachusetts?
Yeah.
Okay.
He says the Europeans copied most of the indigenous forms, but not all.
In the High Council debate, anyway, he goes on.
This theory says it's a little too long.
But I will say this.
The consensus thing is used a lot.
And if you've ever been in one of those consensus environments, it is horrible.
Swedish government, or the Swedes kind of govern that way, and they work that way in their businesses, too.
They rely on a lot of consensus.
The Japanese also.
Americans, it doesn't really fit our personalities.
No.
Anyway, safely back in universe, ABA is able to feel much more compassion for the predicament of the other universe.
Maybe we'll be able to traverse the gap more easily in the future.
Sometimes I would like to be, or someday I would like to be known when I get night as Sir Robert Protector of the Hampshire's.
Okay, for jingles, I'd like the mariachi no-no-no, two to the head, and jobs karma for everybody, and keep those healthy doses of sanity coming.
Hey!
Hey!
Listen!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're in my house.
Hey!
Hey!
Come on, guys!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Shame on you.
Hey!
Hey!
Okay.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm up in the house.
Hey!
Hey!
Right in the booth.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
We've got Obama.
He'll be knighted later.
Onward.
Sorry, I just had to do a little email look up here.
Trent Perkins, $333 from Fenton, Missouri.
ITM fellas came across the podcast earlier this year.
He's a very newcomer.
Found it on Reddit, believe it or not.
It's one of those things.
I can imagine going, what the hell are these guys bitching about?
I gotta check this piece of crap out!
I thank you guys.
I think you guys host an incredible show.
Look forward to it more than any other podcast.
I don't know the history of No Agenda.
Well, we're gonna fix that with another version of Show 200, I hope.
Did you ever get that email from me on that?
Yeah, I did.
I replied to it.
Did you ever get my reply to that email on that email that you sent me that you wanted to know if I saw?
When and how did you guys meet, he wants to know.
Thanks for the best podcast in the universe.
Can I try some karma?
And can I get an ISIS in America and a goat scream?
Do we have not to answer his question first?
Oh, how do we meet?
Yeah.
Wasn't that in the club?
We met on the set.
I can tell you where we met.
It was in the club.
It was a BDSM club.
Yes, that's it.
And we're done!
ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of hell.
ISIS. I'm here!
You've got karma.
Ooh, I like how that works.
Ooh, I like to scream.
We actually met in 1992 on the CNET set.
Yes, that's correct.
You were doing yet another version of your talk show.
I was doing yet another.
And I was reluctantly.
That was an interesting time.
We should recount that one of these days.
The way I see it, they never did anything right.
That's why we're doing this show ourselves.
They fucked it all up.
They don't get it right.
Nothing right.
You gotta do it yourself.
You gotta do it yourself, people.
Sir Roger Boots in Mechanicsville, Iowa, $333.
Sir Roger Bootser has 64th birthday on 9-9.
I believe he's on the list to be called.
On the list, yes.
Richard Straw, $330.
And he was the one I was looking up.
And here he says, donation error.
Please give me my money back.
What?
That's pretty much what he says.
All right.
I'll send it back.
Yeah.
That's what he wants.
I misunderstood her website while trying to donate another amount.
Can you please cancel this?
Please.
Okay, I'll go cancel it later today.
So there goes her in total.
Down the drain.
David McGee becomes an associate executive producer for Memphis, Tennessee 2028 $261.17.
He becomes a knight.
I believe he's on the list as Sir Nine.
Sir Nine.
Nine.
Nine, nine, nine.
No, no, no.
David McGee, I'm sorry, Leslie Cook in Danbury, Connecticut.
Two, three, four, five, six.
And she needs job karma quick, quick.
Quick, quick, please.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yay!
You've got karma.
I got some compliments for my cold pigeon read.
Quick, quick, poo-poo.
Yeah?
Yeah, some felt I fell right into the island speak.
I think you got pretty close.
I think you could have done better.
Well, we can check.
Hold on, I gotta go grab the card.
Alright, well I'll look at the latest headlines from the pigeon BBC. Hmm, okay.
What do we have for Hurricane Irma?
Okay.
Hurricane Irma don't begin to enter South Florida, Florida, USA. Asabi people, they're expecting to walk on a full force over the next hour of today.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I think, because I caught a little bit there where you sounded right on the money.
I think if you do that kind of dumb Dutch accent.
Oh, yes.
With?
With the pigeon?
He reached 63.
million people's way to suppose don't evacuate the state, run, go other places, they're safe!
Okay, it's funnier, but it's not what you're looking for.
It's funnier, but it's not what I was thinking.
But the governor's saying now he's gone too late for anyone who's...
No, I'm in my Russian now.
I got the card, I got the card.
Thank God.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here.
This is Dame Amanda of the Northeast.
And she always sends a cute little card.
With a bunch of hearts around it.
It's a Hallmark card too.
She spent money.
Dear John and Adam, it's just $200.
Some travel karma for my mother and I before we make our way to Gitmo Nation Pyramids for a two-week trip.
Nice.
That should be a lot of fun.
I look forward to catching up on the hours of deconstruction and entertainment upon my return.
Dame Amanda of the Northeast.
Alright, Dame Amanda, for you, travel karma.
You've got karma.
The gong in there.
Nice.
That is our group of executive producers, minus one, and associate executive producers for show 963, I believe.
Yes, 963.
That's correct.
And even though one of our producers reneged, One of our executives?
No, it's okay.
He'll be in the next project.
He'll come along in our next project.
We laugh about this, but these are executive producers and associate executive producers.
It's exactly how it works in Hollywood.
We don't have all the perks that they get when helping out a fine piece of media entertainment as this.
But we do like to give you the credits just like...
No starlets.
No starlets to bang.
But we do give you the credits just like you see on all the big Hollywood productions.
We appreciate that.
And remind everyone we have more people to thank later on and another show coming up on Thursday.
Please support the program at...
Dvorak.org slash N-A. Oh damn, I can do that poopy cuckoo quick quick if you want to do that formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Shut up, friend.
Chemtrails.
There's your chemtrails.
Shh.
Oh, just on Algo, just briefly, I'm still reading this whole report, but the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University released a report on partisanship, propaganda, and disinformation, online media, and the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
And I can give you the key takeaways, but they are claiming that yes, indeed, propaganda did help Donald Trump win the election, mainly through Facebook.
What's interesting is they never really have any examples of the content of what convinced everybody to vote for Donald Trump.
It's like the advertising.
Where are the ads that made this so convincing?
But I don't see any examples.
Yeah, I'm not buying it.
And the facebaggers, they're not Trump people anyway.
No.
I mean, I don't know how many you can tell, but you do the reads.
I don't know that there's pockets of Trump supporters.
If they were there, they'd always be there.
The algos aren't going to fix anything.
I think it's bull crap.
This is a fact.
You know the reason I think Trump won it?
Because he was doing five and six of these speeches every couple days.
Yes.
He was doing three in a day when Clinton was doing none.
Although there's no conclusive evidence to that nature in this study, they do point out that at every turn that Trump got all the media attention, but they're blaming it on everything but the media.
They blame the media.
It's their fault.
You know, if the media had covered Bernie the way they covered Trump, and there was logical reason to do so...
He could have been a contender.
Because he was drawing the crowds that Trump was drawing.
Hillary was drawing nothing.
There were examples of her showing up and kind of hanging out at a cafe getting nobody to show up.
And it was like they just covered Trump, Trump, Trump and then they bitch and they're still doing it.
They're still over covering Trump and wondering you know.
So Bernie shows up on the Colbert show.
And it wasn't that great but I do have some clips.
Uh huh.
And he was kind of confronted on a couple of things.
I have...
Let's go with...
Let's go with this one.
This is probably the best one, which is Bernie on Hillary.
All right.
...book right now, Hillary Clinton does.
And that book is called What Happened?
And she remembers you from the campaign...
In the book, I don't know if you're aware of this, but I'd like a reaction to this.
Hillary Clinton says that your attacks during the campaign caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives.
What is your response to that accusation that you damaged America by damaging Hillary Clinton?
Actually, the case is that the progressive movement today in grassroots activism is stronger than it has been in many, many years.
Many, many quick, quick polls.
As a result of our campaign, millions of young people began to vote for the first time, became engaged in the political process.
There you go.
So that we have a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%.
Woo!
Ah, shill in the audience.
What the hell is that?
What is that, douche?
Shill.
Funny, by the way.
I always like it when you do this.
So that we have a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%.
Shill.
I think those are the kind of attacks she was talking about, Bernie.
But I understand, look, you know, Secretary Clinton ran against the most unpopular candidate in the history of this country, and she lost, and she was upset about it, and I understand that.
A little dig, finally.
Hey, did he bring up the financing scandal with his wife?
Was there any talk of that?
No, no.
Are you kidding me, Colbert?
No.
Come on, it's big news.
He's a big chicken.
I thought he spoke with a bit of disdain about Hillary.
Well, yeah.
I detected some disdain from Colbert.
Here's a follow.
This is Bernie 2020.
I don't want to talk about 2016 anymore.
Let's talk about 2020.
In July, you were in Iowa.
You were in New Hampshire last weekend.
Are you running again?
And are you prepared to be blamed next time for Trump's re-election?
I will tell you what I tell everybody.
That right now, what the American people want the Senate and the House to do is start addressing the real issues that they are facing.
And the real issues are healthcare, making educational opportunity available to all, raising the minimum wage.
That is what they want us to focus on.
They do not like Never ending campaigns.
Media likes that.
I don't think people do.
So we got a long time to go.
We just came from election eight or nine months ago.
So let us focus on the issues that the American people care about and the politics will follow that.
You gestured at me when you said media.
I take that as an act of hostility, Senator.
Okay, well, sir, thank you so much for being here.
The book is Bernie Sanders' Guide to Political Revolution.
Well, there's only one other clip that I got that was worth it, which was him stealing the idea of Medicare for everyone, which is not a new thought by any means.
And, of course, apparently on one of the MSNBC shows, It's brought out that Hillary accused Bernie of stealing her ideas.
Yeah, this is always good.
Now, next Wednesday, I understand, you're introducing a Medicare for all bill.
Yep.
What is that?
What it is, is finally coming to terms with a very, very fundamental issue.
And that is, as a nation, we have got to finally decide whether healthcare is a human right or it is not.
Whether every man, woman and child in this country is entitled to healthcare because they are human beings, or whether or not we're going to continue to have a system run by the insurance companies and the drug companies Where the major goal is to make huge profits for those entities.
And I think the time is now for the United States to join every other major country on earth.
Talking about Canada, the UK, France, Germany.
Every major country that guarantees healthcare to all people.
And what a Medicare for All system is about is saying, we've got a good program now for seniors.
It's called Medicare.
Let's make that program available to every man, woman and child in this country.
Now, this is going about this all the wrong ways.
For one thing, he's a liar.
Because you go to any of these, they don't guarantee medical, all these countries don't guarantee medical treatment for all people.
Total horse crap.
I know two countries where it's...
Canada's one of them.
Yes.
You want to go get treated in Canada?
You can get treated there, but you're not getting it free.
No.
So that's bull crap.
The other thing is this idea of, this is where this socialist progressive Bernie is like a little bit much of a dingbat and should take care of his problems with the universities that they invested in.
This human right thing is not the argument that you want.
It's not a human right that somebody has to pay for your medical bill.
Not a human right.
It should be done on the purposes of betterment for the country.
It should be a national pride thing.
We don't want a bunch of people sick and coughing and having tuberculosis roaming around the streets and making everybody else sick.
That doesn't help us.
It is not a positive thing for the nation to have people bleeding out on the street.
That's the argument you should make.
It should be a nationalist, a pride thing.
It shouldn't be human rights.
Yeah, but that is the narrative.
It's a human right and everybody should have it.
That's what he's been pushing.
What if you shut down all the hospitals and shut down the whole medical system and you say, okay, now medical care is a human right.
Okay, it's a human right.
What good does that do me?
Okay, I got my right to what?
There's nothing to serve me.
I mean, human right is like, you know, freedom, liberty, these things are like, you know, kind of intangible.
It's not like my human right to have $1,000 in my checking account.
I mean, which essentially is what they're talking about here is a human right.
That's coming.
That's next.
Well, I think it is coming, but I don't think it should be done for the purpose, because it's not a human right.
That means you have to give it to everybody?
Yep.
I mean, that's what is in the case.
And, And take it one step further.
As we know, people are animals.
Animals are dogs.
So dogs will also have a human right, an animal right, to have health care.
Well, that would save a lot of money.
Yeah.
The vet.
Vet bill.
Maybe they're onto something.
But let's go back to this algo thing.
I do have a couple of clips I wanted to get out of the way.
Are you familiar with what happened with Lenny Dykstra and Lena Dunham?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Okay, well, it's a little Twitter thing that took off.
Lena finally got fed up with it, but he calls her Lena.
And he goes on, so this is, I wrote a column about why we shouldn't have these video things on, you know, these periscopes and things like that, that Scott Adams is abusing and other people are.
Because it allows for people to shoot themselves on camera.
By the way, this effort's just going by now.
Late again.
Are you advocating for restriction of free speech?
No.
I'm advocating for restriction of free video.
Okay.
Free video.
So Dykstra comes on drunk.
Who is Lenny Dykstra?
Lenny Dykstra is a very interesting character.
He was a very famous baseball player.
I think it was with the Mets.
And he went on to become a renowned stock picker to the point where he had become a billionaire.
Then it turned out he was a massive scammer.
And he was thrown in jail for I don't know how long.
He's only been out recently.
And now he's decided that his whole reason to exist is to help women.
And he's going to start with Lena Dunham.
I don't know how much you want to listen to this.
I cut it up into two pieces in case you don't want to listen to the second half, which is pretty funny.
But...
This is why I think this should be banned.
Following my exchange with Len Dunham, on the night of Thursday, September 7th, I realized there is a serious crisis in this country that I believe I can solve.
Women are unhappy and they don't understand why.
America is suffering deeply because women are confused about their role in society.
Lena was clearly reaching out to me for help and guidance.
And if you doubt me, consider this.
I don't think it's a coincidence That she has a feminist newsletter called Lenny Letter nor that she is horny for baseball players.
If that is not evidence of a cry for help directed at me I don't know what is.
Len, honey, I'm here to rescue you and your female fans from a life of disillusionment while helping to make America great again.
Believe me!
I know what women really want.
Just ask them.
Let's move on.
Here is my four point plan.
Number one, marriage.
This should be a woman's primary goal.
Women are happier when they are married with kids and helping their husbands succeed.
Oh, yeah, it's too bad about the audio.
Is this a podcast?
Is it a YouTube thing he does?
No, this was done on Twitter on one of those video things.
Oh, Periscope, Periscope, Periscope.
Yeah, I guess it was Periscope or something like it.
And so, yeah, no, I feel bad about these guys and they do that.
I have another clip.
I don't.
I think this is fantastic.
Well, I like them.
They've been mic'd better.
Yes, if you want to know.
So, okay, on to part two.
I do cut it off eventually because it's too much of an eye roller at this point.
Number two, finances.
Women should work only until they're married.
Once married, they should quit their jobs and focus on the family.
It's actually more financially prudent than hiring housekeepers and or child care.
Grooming.
Lose 20 pounds.
Trust me.
You'll look better.
You'll feel better.
And the chances that your husband will remain attracted to you will definitely increase.
Sex.
The so-called sexual revolution did nothing to help women.
Whoring yourself at the bar every weekend when you're 32 is not hot.
Servicing your husband when he's ready and willing is the basis for a happy marriage and a happy life.
I can't believe he wasn't in the Red Pill documentary.
It's so surprising.
My favorite bit is lose 20 pounds.
It's just a general edict.
Oh my god.
That's very funny.
Yeah.
Lena.
Lena.
Well, her newsletter is addressed to the Lenny's.
The Lenny newsletter.
I receive that from time to time.
Actually, I wanted to go back because you kind of switched on me real quick.
It's very fun to see...
What were we doing, Hillary?
Just before this.
Bernie.
Bernie, right.
Bernie Hillary.
How he had stolen something from her, you know, the Medicare for All.
What happens, it's unavoidable in these situations with the internet.
It's really cool when you have something like DACA. People immediately go back and dig up old clips.
Yeah, I know which one you're going for.
I have two, actually.
I just saw this this morning.
I said, ah, I don't have time to get into it.
I got two.
I got one from Hillary.
But we have to send a clear message.
Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay.
So we don't want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous track.
Yeah.
So, gee, that was 2011.
Hillary had a very different message about DACA. But the best, and this is one that's cut up between the old footage and the new footage, is Chuck Schumer, certainly the big buona there in the Democratic Party.
His recent statement about President Trump's rescinding the DACA order so it can sunset and giving Congress time to do something about it.
People who entered the United States without our permission are illegal aliens and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the U.S. legally.
The President's decision to end DACA was heartless and it was brainless.
When we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration.
Hundreds, hundreds of thousands of families will be ripped apart.
If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say it.
I think it is illegal and wrong.
Tens of thousands of American businesses will lose hardworking employees.
A biometric-based employer verification system with tough enforcement and auditing is necessary to significantly diminish the job magnet that attracts illegal aliens to the United States.
They may have known no other country but ours.
Man, that guy is really contradicting himself.
Yeah, this is a problem that the internet has brought forward.
Yeah.
And we've been observing it.
I think our show has largely kind of blossomed from this particular phenomenon.
Yeah.
Because it's part of the whole thing.
And just to show these hypocrites.
And he's the worst example.
And those clips are fantastic.
And so is Hillary.
You can find all these great clips of Hillary.
And people want to ignore them.
Talking about black kids being wild animals and stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Something else that gets caught these days is use of words, obviously.
The Associated Press, outfits like this, they have their style guide and they refer to groups of people in certain ways.
That's how we get LGBTQIAP or the UN way LGBTI. They drop the Q. Associated Press, in their style guide, they always speak of undocumented immigrants.
They changed this.
They didn't change the style guide, but they started to use undocumented citizens.
And it's surprising to me that they're doing that.
Yes.
Well, that's a piece of propaganda.
Well, it's also...
That fits right in with the CIA running the AP. It's also, you know, it's incorrect.
It's a globalist idea.
It's a global thing.
It's a globalist...
Yeah, the internationalists, they want to use that.
And you see more...
I wouldn't use it.
Anyone I see using that, I think we should call them out.
But they're also using...
They're not citizens.
Yeah.
They're called undoes.
U-N-D-O, undoes, which I like to see as undoes, but okay, undoes.
Undoes.
Undoes, undocumented citizens.
It's all part of the no borders thing.
It's pretty hard to resist.
Let me just see what the definition is of citizen, just to make sure.
But legally, right off the top, a legally recognized subject or national of a state or commonwealth.
When I forget my driver's license, that makes me an undocumented citizen.
Correct.
Troubling.
Thank you.
You sure that's right?
What?
That definition?
No, that AP's made that change or maybe it was something else.
No, I'm saying they didn't make the change.
It's not changed in their style guide.
They've started using it.
They've just started using it.
So it's still in the style guide.
It's the right way.
Let's see.
Rahm Emanuel spoke as Chicago Public Schools marked the first day of classes.
Tuesday, the mayor told me that.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports school officials say about a third of the school students are undocumented citizens.
Hmm.
It's just factually incorrect.
Well, Chicago's a testing ground.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
Let's see.
I have some kind of sad stuff.
Maybe I just do that now.
Two things, both about domestic terrorists.
As you now locked into the lexicon, certainly in Gitmo Nation proper here, is Charlottesville, the death of Heather Heyer was perpetrated by domestic terrorists.
And where is it?
Have we heard anything else about this guy?
It's so odd.
It just went away.
Where is he?
What's happened?
Where's the indictment?
Is he still in jail?
I mean, who knows what's happening to him?
Have you heard anything?
I heard so little that I forgot about the story completely until you just brought it up.
Well, there's something that I don't have conclusive evidence of, but so far it does appear to be correct.
Now, when you see the tributes for Heather Heyer, who was, I'll say allegedly, mowed down by the alleged domestic terrorist in Charlottesville, the pictures you see are like a high school yearbook picture.
And it's horrible.
You see this beautiful girl, and she's been mowed down by the car.
What's interesting is that was not a current picture of her.
That was a very, very old picture.
In fact, Heather Heyer, before her death, looked a lot more like her mother.
She was probably tipping 300 pounds.
You didn't know that, did you?
No, I did not know that.
In fact, if you look at the video, and again, this is presuming that is indeed her, and it seems like it, she wasn't actually scooped up by the car, but she fell down to the right of the car and suffered a heart attack and died.
If you saw the videos, you saw different...
EMTs giving CPR and if you look at the video you'll see it's a very large woman and they're trying to give her CPR and they couldn't revive her which would mean technically that she wasn't mowed down that she got a fright or maybe she was struck that is not entirely clear but her own mother even kind of backs up this theory so I'm just grieving my child.
She died pretty instantly.
She didn't suffer.
She died of a heart attack right away at the scene.
They revived her briefly and then not consciously just got her heart beating again and then her heart just stopped.
So I don't feel like she suffered.
That's been a blessing.
Just interesting.
And I know it's very hard to bring this up.
It sounds insensitive, but I do think it's an important data point.
Also in light of, where is this guy?
Where is he?
Where's all the charges?
Where's the gas chamber?
Where's the electric chair?
Good catch.
Interesting, isn't it?
Yeah, it's been swept under the carpet.
And, well, some of these videos are in the show notes, 963.noagendanotes.com.
But you can see that there's a very large woman being given CPR. There's videos, you can see she's on the right-hand side of the car, looking at the car from behind.
She may not have been struck, necessarily, by the car, or killed by...
I mean, the incident is unfortunate, and things happen.
But her mom seems to say, yeah, she died instantly.
She had no pain.
Okay.
I'm going to be called an insensitive prick for doing that one.
Well, I'm not going to call you that, but I know who will call you that.
There's a number of people that condemn us.
Generally, I don't know why they even bother listening to the show.
I don't think they actually do.
Maxine Waters is on a number of these big committees, and there was one that was held the other day about financing terrorism.
And this has a lot to do with Bitcoin, and there's all kinds of things that are being done under the guise of, oh, we have to combat financing for terrorism.
That's why all of these rules exist, because of terrorism.
But she had a little opening statement about domestic terrorism, which just needs to be heard.
As the recent events in Charlottesville, which took the life of Heather Hare and two VA state troops have reminded us extremists radicalized by foreign terrorist groups are not the only terrorists with the capacity and will to target and kill American citizens.
And listen to it.
When she when she inhales, it sounds like a death rattle.
Indeed, domestic terrorist attacks have become more frequent in recent years.
I just took a look at what has happened since 1992.
Ruby Ridge standoff, three killed, two wounded Oklahoma City.
Whoa, hold on a second.
That went real fast.
Domestic terrorism, she goes straight to Ruby Ridge, three killed.
Yeah.
By the FBI? By the FBI? Shot his, uh, his Rand Weaver's wife through the head, killed the kid?
Yeah.
The dog, I believe.
She just throws that in and it's like three dead.
Yeah!
Wow, this is another good example of rewriting history.
It comes back again.
Since 1992, Ruby Ridge standoff, three killed, two wounded.
Oklahoma City bombing, 168 killed, over 680 wounded.
2009, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting.
One killed, one wounded.
2012, Wisconsin chic.
Temple shooting killed six, wounded four.
2013 Los Angeles International Airport shooting attack on TSA officer killed one, wounded six.
2015 Planned Parenthood shooting killed three, wounded nine.
2017 Portland train attack killed two, wounded one.
Charlottesville car ramming attack killed three, wounded 19.
And I'm worried...
Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
The car attack did not kill three, it killed one.
And the other two died in a helicopter crash.
But okay, we'll attribute it to your domestic terrorist, Maxine.
No problem.
And I'm worried about these domestic attacks.
As a matter of fact, I was forced to focus on it a little bit more yesterday in my office in Los Angeles.
One of the people opening the mail opened an envelope and a bunch of powder fell out with a note about me dying and killing Hillary Clinton and on and on and on.
This is getting more frequent.
And I know that we have privacy concerns and information sharing and all of that, but I'm wondering what can we do to get a handle, a fix on these lone killers?
Lone wolves is the term, but okay.
Lone killers.
And not simply just say we throw our hands up and we can't really do anything because of privacy concerns.
I think we should focus a lot.
Well, she's very consistent.
What she's saying is apparent, if you listen to it, about, well, we have these privacy concerns.
Because of privacy concerns, I think we should focus a lot on domestic terrorism also.
So I would like to ask again, given all that you have said about how difficult it is and the privacy concerns, do you have anything Any thoughts about what we can do to begin to deal with the KKK, the white nationalists, the extremists, the alt-right?
They're on the internet.
Brett Bart, if you look at YouTube, you'll see how much they want to kill me and others.
What can we do?
Brett Bart.
Brett Bart.
They all want to kill her, John.
They all want to kill her.
The white nationalists want to kill her.
I've seen no evidence of this.
What she's saying, if you listen to it, and I watch the whole thing, she's advocating for domestic spying.
I know we have privacy concerns, but they're terrorists.
They're terrorists.
We've got to spy on Americans.
That's what she's advocating for.
That's exactly what she's advocating for.
Does she know that we already do that?
It may just be theater, but that's Maxine.
That's right, Maxine.
Please run for president.
Keep our show in business.
And stay woke, my millennials.
All right.
Right.
Peace. .
Woo!
Secret Agent Paul.
Nailing it.
The guy from Judicial Watch also came on unmiked on some video thing.
And it's interesting what they're doing.
I mean, Judicial Watch is, I think in another era, would have been considered a bunch of right-wing nutballs.
Because they're all lawyers, it seems.
And they're paid by the right wing, no doubt.
Well, and their cause tends to be right wing.
But they're slick, and their presentation is very almost, I would say, liberal, academic.
In style.
And they sue everybody left and right for good reason.
Mostly breaking the law.
The main thing is apparently these FOIA suits.
I didn't know that they were That's pretty much all they do is FOIA requests all the time.
And suits, because they don't get anything from their FOIA requests.
So let's play this guy for a minute and get a clue.
That's right, when it breaks the law.
And the Trump administration, unfortunately, breaks the law repeatedly.
On one issue, the Freedom of Information Act.
So what happens is, someone asks for records from an agency, they're required to give the records in a timely way, and if they withhold the records improperly or refuse to respond, they're breaking the law.
And the way to enforce the law is to sue in a federal court.
And this is what we do hundreds of times under the Freedom of Information Act.
Hundreds of times.
And what's happening here?
The deep state is running the Trump administration on transparency issues.
Not the president.
It's the deep state.
His political appointees, as I've said repeatedly, need to be held accountable for allowing us to continue to go on.
But it's a challenge.
In many ways, it's more of a challenge than it was with the Obama administration.
At least with the Obama administration, you had the glare of the public spotlight.
Now, the concern isn't as high about transparency issues In the media or in Congress.
So the deep state thinks they can get rid of anything they want.
And as I said, the political appointees are either complicit or oblivious.
And to that end, we've been pursuing something that Congress is really incapable of doing, even if they want to do it.
Something the media doesn't really want to do too much of either.
Just figuring out the corruption and the details of the corruption behind the effort to destroy Donald Trump.
Now, you know, you can disagree to Donald Trump politically, but my concern is, the Judicial Watch's concern is that the opposition to Donald Trump within a deep state is contrary to the rule of law.
And they're opposing him through illegal means, abusing powers to try to get him because they disagree with his politics.
It's just like Obama abusing the IRS to target the Tea Party.
You have officials abusing their authority and abusing the agencies they run.
It happened under the Obama administration.
I think it continues with bureaucracies today to target someone they don't like.
And that was Donald Trump.
He's the Tea Party.
You know, substitute him for the Tea Party.
And you'll understand what I mean in terms of targeting by the establishment government and bureaucracies here in town.
Yeah, I'm going to send you a filter for Audacity so you can easily fix that kind of audio.
I would welcome it.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
You know, I've used different Audacity filters for that, and it tends to, it brings in a warble, which I find very annoying.
And I don't know why it does that, because it shouldn't, theoretically.
But that was interesting.
So that's where they're coming from.
they see the whole thing as a deep state play, which is kind of, you know, it's easy enough to, if you're going to buy into the CIA having taken over the government, according to Ron Paul, we have that clip somewhere.
CIA supposedly took over and they killed Kennedy.
And then more recently, the DIA or the Defense Department took over from the CIA.
And now there's a squabble.
And but what has Trump got to do with it?
Why even have a president?
Just have a bunch of bureaucrats run the place of technocracy, which is kind of what was predicted in Jacques Elluel's The Technological Society, which is that technocrats run everything.
And And this is how the—you know, not to say that they're more modern than we are, but their buildings are.
The EU, that's what they do.
It's exactly what they do.
The EU has no real—you know, they don't have— There's nobody's voted in as president.
It's just a bunch of technocrats making laws by the dozens just constantly because they know what they're doing.
They're experts.
You got a guy making a law about how many feathers should be in a pillow because he's an expert.
And he knows more than a bunch of guys.
And the argument is from the technological society is this.
And it's an argument you hear all the time.
And this is what you get.
This is the argument for global warming.
There's an expert who knows more than you do.
Yes.
And legislating some of these laws, like how many, why would you legislate how many feathers in a pillow?
It's not something for a vote.
It's something for an expert.
Well, I can tell you that right now in the Netherlands there's quite a scandal unfolding, I believe, that airs tonight.
About Phillips colluding with the technocrats and experts regarding the entire ban of regular light bulbs, incandescent light bulbs, and bringing in their...
The shitty ones, you know, the mercury-based ones that shoot off electrical rays.
Yeah, besides shooting off electrical...
Let's talk about these stupid bulbs.
Let's go back one step further and agree that particularly when it comes to the light bulb industry, which is really only three companies, they have colluded for decades...
Since the 50s.
For decades.
Because there was a price-fixing suit in the 50s with General Electric and a couple of these other operations.
OSRAM, General Electric, Philips.
Yeah, that's the three.
And they colluded and they came up with the planned obsolescence, which is on the box.
It says 10,000 hours, if you even get one that has 10,000 hours.
And it goes off around 10,000 hours.
It's programmed to die after 10,000 hours.
And they all agreed to do it.
They agreed to the standards.
And to this day, as far as I know, it continues.
I'm looking at these bulbs.
They don't last 10,000 hours.
Yeah, they will stay lit for 10,000 hours, but the luminosity goes away.
Some of them, you have to warm up before they even get to the peak luminosity.
I've got a whole room full of them.
You turn it on, they're all, oh God, he turned on the electricity.
And it struggles, and about half an hour later, they're bright.
Those are the same kind of bows.
A lot of them buzz?
Yeah, they buzz.
Yeah, for sure.
A lot of them have like to give off UV, you know, you probably don't have cataracts after being in the dining room for too long.
It's unbelievable how bad and crappy these bulbs are.
Yeah, they do save a lot of energy.
Luckily, and I don't know what you feel about this, but luckily LEDs have come in, which have their problems too.
Well, before we get to LEDs, one more thing about the CFLs.
I discovered this in our new building here.
And the CFLs are in all buildings in Austin.
They're in the hallways.
It's all, you know, and they're crap.
It looks like a prison, no matter what.
Yes, they stroll.
Penitentiary.
Yeah, penitentiary.
I know why they do it, though.
I found this out through a...
So you get used to it.
No.
You're right.
What can I say?
That is ultimately the Illuminati's Illuminosity.
No, we had problems with the dishwasher.
I'm like, you know, the dishwasher, it's not drying.
It's, you know, I got water on top of everything.
So I call, you know, the maintenance guy comes in.
He says, ah, well, you need your jet dryer.
I've never had to use jet dryer.
What is that?
He said, no, you have to use it.
But because they disabled 50% of the heating in all of the dishwasher units in this building, And they also cut the time that you can do high heat drying in half.
The reason is to get LEED certification.
Can't you get a mechanic in there to return those features?
I asked him, and my guy would do that if he could.
It's disabled within firmware or something.
You can't do that.
But to make this building LEED certified, which I'm sure gives them a tax break, they cripple the actual things you need.
That's funny.
It's not funny.
That's going on everywhere.
Yeah.
So I'm sure these light bulbs are a part of it.
Anyway, how did we get to the light bulbs?
We got to it that it's a scandal that the Philips colluded with the experts in government to push this through, even though they knew that they had mercury, all kinds of crap with the CFL, these early CFL bulbs, RF radiation.
It's just crap.
So yeah.
Just don't make waves.
Yeah, of course, what will be the punishment?
Nothing.
Well, whatever it is, they can handle it.
Well, let's stay in Europe for a second.
Hold on a second.
What do I have?
I got something on the migrant news.
I got a Merkel report, so we know that she's going to win.
Well, we'll get to the Merkel report.
We have two reports.
First, Brussels, now a problem with the continuous inflow of migrants.
The crisis the EU continues to grapple with on its southern shores has now reached its heart, Brussels.
Every night, hundreds of migrants sleep rough in this park, not far from the EU headquarters, until police show up.
They confiscate not only the migrants' belongings, but also their documents, phones, etc., as well as things we give them, like sleeping bags, backpacks, blankets, even clothes.
Every night, volunteers from the NGO Belgium Kitchen make their way across the park to hand out meals to these migrants, most of whom made it all the way from Sudan and Eritrea.
We're a stone's throw from the Gare du Nord train station.
As in the French port of Calais, most men don't want to seek asylum here.
They want to reach the UK. When we started handing out meals, there were 250 people on average.
Now we can have up to 650.
The men here can only rely on help from NGOs.
Belgian authorities don't want to see a tent camp set up in the capital, a new jungle like the one dismantled in Calais last year.
Our correspondent on the ground says that according to most volunteers here, repeated police operations in the past couple of days have got migrants scared.
And as a result, many have scattered and moved to other locations.
So that's not very good.
There was a report on, not Euronews, but some DW show, and it was about the mafia in Italy exploiting the migrants, using them as slave labor in farms, housing them, and making tons of money from the government.
They get something like $30 per migrant per day, and they feed them gruel.
Sorghum.
Sorghum.
And $25 a pocket.
They used a $5 on the migrants.
This is a massive scam.
Well, first of all, it's a business model.
It's not a scam.
It's a business model, certainly, in Italy.
Germany is now getting into trouble with Turkey, as both Merkel and Schultz are saying.
Yeah, you know, we shouldn't have Turkey become a member of the EU. That shouldn't happen.
No, we don't like what they're doing.
And Erdogan is making a lot of noise, becoming very, very difficult about this, and he could just open the gates and release three million.
And they're not asylum seekers.
I have the numbers here.
It's like in Germany.
You know how many people actually asylum seekers of the million that are in there?
Yeah, like 8,000 in Germany.
And other countries, 800, 1,000.
The rest are economic migrants, economic refugees.
Which they used to keep out.
Yeah.
Africa will send them all out to Europe.
They don't, you know, it's fine.
Yeah.
Go there.
Go to Europe.
We'll give you a transport.
Get out of here.
So I guess because Merkel was having such trouble with people throwing tomatoes at her because she wasn't addressing the crisis, the refugee crisis, she's now being, well, you know, shut up, Turkey.
I think the tomato thing was an exaggeration from maybe one of the parties.
Because if you listen to this report that I've got here, she's doing better than ever.
Now, here in Germany, the country's biggest parties are gearing up for the end spurt with just a little over two weeks left till national elections.
The latest surveys are out and they show Angela Merkel is still miles ahead of her closest rival, Martin Schulz, of the Social Democrats.
Here's a closer look at the numbers.
Things are going well for Angela Merkel, two weeks before Germany's federal elections.
The chancellor's popularity numbers are up again.
If German voters could elect their chancellor directly, 54% would choose Merkel.
That's 5% more than one week ago.
Only 26% prefer her challenger, Martin Schulz.
His popularity remains unchanged.
If the elections were to take place on Sunday, Merkel's conservative CDU-CSU bloc would again become Germany's strongest party with 37% of the votes.
The Social Democratic SPD would be number two with 21% of the vote.
The right-wing populist AfD would become the third largest party with 11% and would be represented in the Bundestag for the first time.
The left party would be just behind them with 10%, and the business-friendly FDP would get 9%, with the Greens receiving 8%.
With just over two weeks until polling day, a Merkel victory is becoming more and more likely.
Now, do you think this is an accurate report, or is this more of your media, like, oh, close race, only 5%, who knows, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I don't think they pull that stunt so much in Europe that we do.
It's pretty obvious.
I think those numbers will be, when this is said, those will be the numbers.
Well, in the meantime, something that had zero reporting, despite the referendum in the Netherlands, the Ukraine-European Association Treaty was ratified.
I'm not quite sure how they did it.
The Dutch went, yes, who cares what the voters say?
Just sign it.
It's good.
Very little fanfare about it, but it's been ratified.
None.
I didn't know about this.
Yeah, very little.
There's not even a video clip of it.
They couldn't even find the clip.
Just some reporting.
Oh, yeah, that was signed.
Well, the Dutch should be outraged.
They had a directive, although not legally binding, they had a directive through what the politicians said they would do.
They'd follow it.
No.
That's shameful.
Yes.
And last little thing happening there in Europe.
Rise and shine.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to play that.
I thought we had a war on eggs.
Didn't we have that?
Maybe just war on chickens then.
It was just chickens.
Eggs are good.
Well, no, they're not.
The War on Chicken Eggs.
Contaminated eggs have been found in 40 countries worldwide, according to the DPA News Agency.
They have traces of fipronil, an insecticide, which can cause organ failure in humans.
National regulators worry many have already entered the food chain.
EU agriculture ministers are discussing the scandal in Tallinn, Estonia.
I do expect the European rapid alert system works as it should according to its name.
It was not like this in the past.
Unfortunately, there was information about this for months, but they didn't forward it to us.
Officials in Belgium and the Netherlands traced the source of the insecticide to a Dutch cleaning product supplier.
The two men who ran the company were arrested last month.
And we will not tolerate the actions of you people...
Put in question the integrity, the reputation, and the stability of our entire food chain, one of the economic periods of the European Union.
TPA quoted a European Commission spokeswoman as saying that 24 EU countries had been affected by the scandal.
Lots of video of eggs being destroyed.
That's interesting.
Yeah, destruction of eggs.
They should at least have an egg fight or something fun.
Well...
I'm pretty sure the egg council will try it.
I don't know if they also do work for Europe, but put an egg on it.
Sounds like a sabotage to me, this egg thing.
Could be.
Put an egg on it.
But hey, here's your coffin.
Put an egg on it.
Beautiful.
I'd just die.
They should try that.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
And indeed, we do have a few people to thank for show 963.
And starting with Michael Bramke in Draper, Utah.
Came in at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Send a nice check in.
No, nothing.
Wesley K. Walker, $100.
Anthony Fields in West Roxbury, Massachusetts.
That's $91.10.
Melchor Vonderdecken.
Let me just say about Anthony Fields.
9-11 emergency donations since my entire family lives in Naples, Florida.
Just passing that on.
Naples is where it's going to...
It may actually hit Naples.
So that would be bad.
Melchor Vonderdecken.
Melchior.
Melchior.
Von der Decken.
Von der Decken.
Was he Czechoslovakia?
Yes, or Switzerland.
And this is a tribute to Jerry Pornell.
Yes, we mentioned him in the newsletter.
Jerry died last Friday.
Now you said this was unexpected.
You had just had dinner with him recently?
Yeah, I was just over at his house having dinner like, I don't know, three weeks ago.
Four weeks ago.
And he seemed like he was in really good shape.
I mean, considering all he's been through.
But, you know, he wasn't, didn't see it.
So I think, but what happened, if you read further down, Mimi pointed this out, I didn't read too much of the mention.
If you read further down, he had gone to Dragon Con, and he came back with the flu and a cold.
Yeah, he probably got pneumonia.
I was thinking pneumonia, too, because that kills, you know, if you're over 80.
People die from pneumonia, mainly.
A lot.
Yeah.
And he died in his sleep, which can happen in these situations.
How old was he?
Sorry?
How old was he?
84.
I mean, it's too young, but...
He's a tough guy.
Yeah, that sucks.
Seems you were affected.
I mean, I know as we get older, people drop dead left and right.
You're just sitting there thinking, when is it my turn?
The problem is, well, he's 84, so there's a little bit of a relaxed note about that.
It could have gone to 90, though.
But it's that I just saw him, which is like...
Yeah, that's always odd.
Kind of not good.
It wasn't yesterday, but...
And if anything else, he was looking very forward to going to Dragon Con.
Getting out of the house.
You know why you don't get out of the house.
I had a great time.
I'm back home again.
Time to die.
Sean DeSantis in Fort Pierce, Florida.
Oh, I'm sorry, you missed Dame Janice.
I'm sorry.
Oh, Dame Janice Baroness of the Mutton and Meat.
Dame Janice.
Dame Janice, the Baroness of the Mutton and Meat in Milpitas right over here by us.
Hey, who's going to be left on Twit that's funny?
It's all over.
Well, Jerry hasn't been on Twit for...
Oh, okay.
In fact, I think we talked about that when I was at his house.
He said he had been invited back for about a year.
Oh.
So...
Hmm.
That's interesting.
Was there a rift?
You know, the thing about Twitch, they should sort of, I think people want to always say, oh, put the Vorak back on, put the Vorak back on.
I'm telling you, here's what you want to do.
If you want to hound Leo to do something.
Oh, boy.
Have him get Chris Perillo.
Chris knows as much about anything as any of these guys he has.
That's a good point.
He stays right on top of technology.
And he could use the money.
Well, maybe he could.
I think he could.
But Chris would be perfect.
I just don't understand why he's...
I don't know if he's ever been on the show.
Okay, onward.
I don't care.
Sir Brian Green of Hams.
I'm sorry.
Now we do Sean DeSantis.
I'm going to keep missing him.
Sean DeSantis in Fort Pierce, Florida.
I was saying him.
75 bucks.
He's interrupted.
Hurricane donation.
Thanks, guys.
Sir Brian Green of Ham, $7373, KC9YJM, $7373, Kilo 5, Alpha, Charlie, Charlie.
Sir Daniel Mack, $64, another Jerry Pornell donation.
He's read a little stuff in Byte Magazine as a young man.
Donate $1 per bit.
Eight bites.
64.
Nice.
I like that.
That's a good one.
Will Shura in Madison, Wisconsin.
Shura, he says how you pronounce it.
He's on the birthday list.
I don't know, is he?
I don't know.
I believe he is.
Yes.
Sir Andrew Harm is $53.
KC... What is his call number?
KC0WII? Yes.
World War II? Yeah.
Oh, 73s.
73s.
Sir Richard Gardner, Chicago, Illinois, $53.
Oh, he says belated birthday greeting.
I didn't realize that.
Okay.
For himself or who?
I guess for him.
Oh, for you.
Oh, it's for me.
Oh, I don't need to write that down.
Yeah, 53.
Get it?
Oh, of course.
Thank you.
Forgot I was 53.
Trent Wabes.
Sir Trent Wabbis, the Rascally Rabbit.
51-11.
The following people is a short list.
Wait, wait, I'm sorry.
Gotta stop.
The Trent Wabbis becomes a knight.
Oh, I thought he always was a knight.
Always gonna become Sir Trent Wabbis, the Rascally Rabbit?
Yes.
Let's see, if you're still doing the Australian dollar knighting, I finally made it!
Oh, that's right, that's right.
Yeah, that's right.
Can you please knight me Sir Trent Wabbis, the Waskily Wabbit?
Also, if possible, can I have...
We're doing Australian and Canadian dollars as if they were American dollars.
If possible, can I have the roundtable items from back around show 300 before it got all corrupted with nonsense?
The hell?
He doesn't like...
We've had these for years.
Show 300 was a little more pure.
Well, no.
You can't have that.
The roundtable items are the roundtable items.
You can't just take away from other knights and dames who put these on the list.
Yeah, I agree.
You've got to be strict.
So you have to make an executive peerage committee decision.
Yes.
No.
But thanks for asking.
No.
Send a memo.
Take a memorandum.
No.
So the following are $50 donors, name and location, if available.
Starting with Mary Krenzel in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
David Peet in Aubrey, Texas.

Boom.
I want to get into the week ahead.
I clipped it this week again.
Charlie Rose has got to be read in by the agency.
I was thinking about that.
This whole week, the week thing has become all CBS clips, except for his interview show.
It's ridiculous.
Of course he is.
Now let's go to this week ahead and tell me what the commonality, what's the common thing, the theme of these events.
Look at the week ahead.
Sunday is the men's singles finals at the U.S. Open Tennis Championships.
Monday is the 16th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Tuesday is the start of the U.N. General Assembly.
Wednesday marks the 32nd anniversary of Nintendo's release of Super Mario Brothers.
Thursday is the Feast of San Gennaro in New York's Little Italy.
Friday, Sir Paul McCartney performs at Madison Square Garden.
.
Saturday is the National Women's Hall of Fame 2017 induction ceremony.
Um...
Um...
Well...
Read them over to you again.
If you don't get this...
And by the way, I find it distressing.
Will I be fired?
No.
Yeah, you're going to be fired.
Okay, give me a shot.
Here's what we're going to look at.
It sounded like product placement is what it sounded like.
No, it's not.
This is...
Okay.
All right, go ahead.
Where's the U.S. Open?
London?
It's a sports question.
What answer do you expect?
Come on.
We'll skip that one.
We'll skip that one.
Come on, give me a Benny for that one.
It was fast.
It was funny, yeah.
Alright.
Okay, where was 9-11?
9-11 was in New York City.
Where's the UN General Assembly?
In New York City.
Where's the celebration in Little Italy in New York City?
Which town is that in?
In New York City.
Where's the McCartney Madison Square Garden concert?
New York City.
Yeah, and I didn't look up the Women's Hall of Fame thing, but I'm guessing everything else on this list except the Nintendo game is in New York City.
This is the New York City news.
This has got nothing to do with the week coming.
This is so New York City-centric, where Charlie lives.
That is not watchable.
This is a scam.
Everybody knows that the cultural center of the United States is in Los Angeles.
There's no mention of a concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
There's no mention of a symphony at the Disney Hall.
There's no mention of a parade down Main Street on Disneyland.
There's nothing to do with anything except New York City.
This is ridiculous.
John C. The Boyd Act and Peeve of the Day.
I guess it was a peeve.
But I think my point is well made.
There must be a celebration of the Nintendo thing in New York City.
That's what I'm guessing.
That's great.
There's a lot of guys named Mario in New York.
Ah, there you go.
Hey, Mario, you're making the pizza.
Yeah.
Some, well, some good news.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, I saw you have a clip.
We'll get to it after I play the local report.
I think this is CBS Miami.
Where's my Debbie Wasserman Schultz clip?
I thought you have, oh, you have an ISO. No, I thought, no, I guess you don't.
Maybe, oh, the DW, okay.
That's Joyce Chevelle.
I gotcha.
You can play that ISO right now.
Okay.
This would be Debbie Wasserman Schultz German version.
Too bad about the ending.
We need to...
Yeah, I know.
Reverb it off.
Reverb it off.
Yeah, very nice.
That's a good...
I would love to use that.
No, Debbie Wasserman Schultz spoke for the first time amidst rumors...
Great story.
Yeah, that one or many of the Awan brother family cabal have been cutting deals with the Department of Justice in exchange for testifying against possibly Debbie Wasserman Schultz, other members of Congress.
Well, he's not my staff.
Sorry?
I was going to say yes, but apparently they're targeting a whole bunch of members of Congress.
Love this.
Well, he's not my staffer.
He no longer works for me, and when he was arrested, I terminated him.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz distancing herself from Imran Awan.
He is the former congressional staffer arrested by FBI agents last month before boarding a flight to Pakistan.
He was then fired by Wasserman Schultz.
So I terminated him when he was arrested, which meant that there was a process being followed, that his due process was being followed.
I mean, I think it's important to point out what he has been arrested and charged with is unrelated to his employment.
Awan was an IT specialist for several Democratic members of Congress.
He was fired early this year when reports surfaced he might be involved in possible procurement theft.
He was kept on by Wasserman Schultz until last month when he was charged with falsifying a home equity loan application and unlawfully transferring money to Pakistan.
Wasserman Schultz says she doesn't know about Awan's finances, but believes his family has been singled out for being Muslim.
They were experiencing the things that I was concerned about in terms of racial, ethnic, and religious profiling.
And so she brought their children.
They lost their jobs, lost their livelihood, and she brought their children, their family, to Pakistan.
Man, she's nervous.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's trouble brewing.
I'm very curious.
We talked about these guys before with the speculation that possibly ISI. No, not just possibly, with certainty.
ISI, CIA, total connection.
Okay.
It's turning the frogs gay, I know about this stuff.
But it is a situation where...
They must have screwed up something, but they're coming back to testify and they're going to blow the lid off stuff.
In other words, we're not going to hear anything about any more of this.
It's going to I agree with you.
I agree.
You're going to be swept under the rug.
Yeah, the agency doesn't...
Everyone's laughing now.
There they go again.
But I think there's enough evidence.
People shouldn't be listening to this show because we have theses.
Not feces, but theses on the show that have to do with this structure of the way we structure things.
And that element has to be part of it.
Or you can't explain anything.
Or there's no show.
Sometimes you also get inside information.
I told you maybe a week ago or two weeks ago that my former New York banker buddy told me the reason why Gary Cohn had not left the administration yet, despite calls from his fellow Jews to leave because Trump equals Hitler, is because he really wants to get the Fed chair job, and he's worried that if he leaves...
That Mnuchin will get it.
And that's why he's hanging in there.
Until this week!
A newly fraying relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and top White House economic advisor Gary Cohn raising questions about how long Cohn will stay in his job.
Sources telling Reuters Cohn planned to remain director of the National Economic Council for at least a year, but concern is said to be growing among his allies that he may be pressured to leave.
The sentiment stemming from a recent report in the Wall Street Journal confirmed by Reuters that said Cohn was unlikely to be nominated by Trump as a potential successor to Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen.
But a source telling Reuters the calculus has shifted for Gary.
He's gone from untouchable...
To possibly being bounced out.
Cohn criticized Trump last month in a Financial Times interview for saying both sides were to blame for violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where one woman was killed.
Cohn told the newspaper the administration, quote, must do better in condemning neo-Nazi and white supremacists.
The Wall Street veteran is seen by many as a key driver of the president's ability to deliver on his economic agenda, particularly tax reform.
One Yale University management expert going so far as to say Cohn's departure could crash the markets.
Still, a White House official told Reuters Cohn is focused on his job, with Cohn himself saying last week he and the president are working well together.
Well, my understanding of all the reports that I've read is that Trump won't even make eye contact with the guy anymore.
Which is supposedly the beginning of the end.
He screwed him.
He screwed him.
Yeah, no, he screwed him.
If you're the president and this guy comes and says, well, he handled that Charleston thing poorly.
Yeah.
You're not there to be criticized by your own staff like that in the situation that the media is jumping all over you.
But Cohen had to do it.
He's out.
Yeah, he had to do it.
He got pressure from the Jews.
And apparently, Kelly...
Is trying to defend him, trying to keep him on because he knows he's important.
Yeah.
But Trump is not going to do everything.
He's done.
There's no way that Kelly's going to outflank Trump to get rid of this guy.
I hope Kelly stays in, though.
We know.
No, I hope Kelly...
The Republic will come crashing down if Kelly leaves.
We know this.
Well, I still think that the best chief of staff, even though he doesn't fit into the scheme of things, which is having the military run our government, which is what they want more and more of, is still Newt Gingrich, because Gingrich understands the system better.
And he's a lightning rod.
He can draw energy away from things that are problematic.
Yes, he'd be great chief of staff, but they shipped him off to the Vatican.
Oh, that's right.
Where he's just going to get fatter.
What a gig.
Damn, what a gig.
That's the best.
So of all the stories we've talked about in the past week, guess which one got the most feedback on our show?
And bear in mind, we're a podcast.
Taylor Swift.
No, no, no, no, no.
Thank God for that.
No, no.
Better than that.
I didn't expect, I expected feedback, but not quite this much.
Okay.
No, the service dog gripe that I have.
Oh, the service dog gripe.
Service dog, yeah.
Yeah, you had another gripe today about dogs.
You hate animals.
Yes, since I don't have any, I'm clearly an animal abuser, just like the president.
So my problem is that I'm seeing people with service dogs all over the place, in restaurants, in air travel, and they're clearly not service dogs.
They are comfort dogs.
They are therapy dogs.
But there is no legal basis to have a service dog that is not a service dog A trick?
Yeah, a trick.
Roll over!
In fact, you are not allowed to ask what affliction you have, but you are allowed to ask, is the dog necessary for a disability?
And then you're allowed to ask, what service does the dog provide?
And it specifically states in the ADA that therapy dogs are not service dogs.
And the people who are angry about this, this being a podcast, which is why it doesn't surprise me we got a lot of feedback, is people with sight disability.
That's the politically correct term for blind.
That's different, isn't it?
A guide dog for the blind is different than a service dog.
No, that is in fact a service dog.
That is a service dog.
You can't gripe about that.
We don't have any complaints about guide dogs for the blind.
Why are people giving us crap?
No, no.
The blind people are giving, are chiming in saying these a-holes were their therapy dogs.
It's bullshit and it's giving our dogs a bad name.
I have a report.
Can you tell which one of these animals is a service dog and which isn't?
Every step is a matter of trust for Mary Ann Brigden.
Trust that her service dog, Percy, will keep her safe.
And trust that others will let him.
But that trust has been tested by people parading fake service animals.
What do you think?
I think it's terrible.
Endangering our image.
Service dog handler Michael Pierce knows the feeling.
I truly believe that over the three year period I've been with her, she's probably saved my life several times and I don't even know it.
Michael and Marianne don't advertise their dogs as service animals with vests or ID cards.
They don't have to according to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
For a while, couldn't understand it and fought it, but then I realized that those cards are so easy to get on the internet.
All we had to do was go online and search service animal gear, and for 50 or 60 bucks, this is what we got.
Head up.
People fake having a service animal so they can bring it to places animals aren't allowed, like many stores and restaurants.
They also do it so they don't have to pay for their animals to fly.
He's a therapy dog.
A therapy dog wearing a service animal vest.
Do you know the difference between a service animal and a therapy pet?
Well, a therapy pet and a therapy animal is actually a service animal.
Not according to the ADA. Service dogs perform tasks for people with disabilities and have the right to go anywhere a person is allowed.
Therapy dogs have no special rights.
There's a definite difference.
The service animals have more extensive training than what Faith and I have.
As of July 1st, knowingly posing your pet as a service animal is a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida.
You can't possibly imagine how important what you're doing is.
It's a story to you, but for us, it's what is required to get this law to work, and that is education.
Ah, the problem with this report is it's two years old.
This has been an issue.
Wow.
You pulled that trick twice in the show.
I know!
I couldn't help it.
It just happened that way.
But this is a real problem.
It's also, it's bull crap.
It's annoying.
And it doesn't, I mean, it's going to be very problematic.
First of all, you know, people are, it's slavery.
If you go by the animal rights activists who say animals, you know, people are animals.
Animals are people.
It's all the same thing.
So, you know, that's why you're a caretaker.
You can't own a pet.
You don't have a dog, you take care of a dog.
But yeah, I guess it's not slavery, even though animals are people, people are animals.
And then, just this fakery, and just buying service dog gear on the internet, and then, you know, my therapy, my therapy pet.
We need to come up with some ideas for this, just to bring this to a halt.
This has to stop.
I don't know if you can, it's a major societal trend.
You find the dogs in restaurants.
Everywhere.
I haven't run into a bad dog who is in that category of phony.
Phony therapy dog.
You lecture the dog.
You phony.
You know you're not a service dog.
Maybe we're approaching it from the wrong way.
Maybe we should just get our own service animals.
Yes, this is my service goat.
Ah!
Yeah, I'm sorry he's a little loud.
He performs a very important service to me.
Whenever I feel down, my service goat is there.
That would work.
I would encourage our No Agenda listeners who are blind, get yourself a service pony, get yourself a service goat.
I'm sure that would be funny.
I'm sure we have some, I mean, just because you're blind doesn't mean you don't have a sense of humor.
I'm sure someone will do this for us.
Well, we'll see.
Yeah.
Alright, what else we got?
I have Dennis...
Bannon is coming up on 60 Minutes today.
Oh, yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
Huge interview.
They've clipped it.
They've keep clipping it and giving it to us on the Central Intelligence Broadcasting System.
And...
The latest one is, oh, Bannon insulted the Catholic Church.
Oh no!
It's already making headlines for Bannon's controversial comments about the Catholic Church.
Bishops criticized President Trump's decision this past week to scrap the DACA program, which protects about 800,000 young immigrants from deportation.
Look what he did on DACA the other day.
Okay, I don't agree with that DACA decision, but I understand how he struggled with it.
I understand how he's giving a possibility of a legislative thing.
And he said even last night in a tweet, even in a tweet, he would rethink it.
Trust me, the guys on the far right, the guys on the conservative side, are not happy with this.
Can I remind you, a good Catholic, that Cardinal Dolar...
As opposed to what's happening with Doc.
Cardinal Dolan.
The Catholic Church has been terrible about this.
The bishops have been terrible about this.
By the way, you know why?
You know why?
Because unable to really come to grips with the problems in the church...
They need illegal aliens.
They need illegal aliens to fill the churches.
It's obvious on the face of it.
That's what the entire Catholic bishops condemning.
They have an economic interest.
They have an economic interest in unlimited immigration.
Unlimited illegal immigration.
Boy, that's a tough thing to say about your church.
As much as I respect Cardinal Dolan and the bishops on doctrine, this is not doctrine.
This is not doctrine at all.
I totally respect the Pope and I totally respect the Catholic bishops and cardinals on doctrine.
This is not about doctrine.
This is about the sovereignty of a nation.
And in that regard, they're just another guy with an opinion.
Well, they were all bent out of shape.
Now, if he had said the Catholic Church has an interest in small boys...
Now, that would have been a story.
That would have been something, but he didn't say that.
He was just bitching and moaning about this, but they made a huge story out of this.
And, of course, it's mostly to plug the interview, which I'm sure is...
I don't know.
That's what it is.
It's part of the whole scheme of putting these guys that have just been fired under the...
Now, this being...
But let's look at it from our perspective.
This being CBS, Banyan...
Please pronounce his code name properly.
Banyan...
Actually, I saw another body language thing.
What's her name?
Bogart, whatever her name is.
And she did Banyan.
And she said, this is not a man who was worried.
This is not a man who was thrown out.
This is a man who has been given a new job.
But how does this work with CBS, the agency, and Banyan?
What are they going to do?
I mean, is Banyan in with them?
What's going on?
Well, let's look at it from a strategic perspective.
That the military folk have taken over the government that was previously run by the CIA. I think it wrote this up in the newsletter.
And if you just already heard the Judicial Watch guy bitching about this because they're doing a crappy job.
These guys aren't that good at this.
The CIA has always been good at this.
And so they're trying to get the CIA back in.
What better guy to help them than Banyan?
Ah, okay.
Okay.
Now, that doesn't sound nutty enough.
I like it.
I'm all for it.
Yeah, it's a possibility.
Yeah, we'll know.
We'll know what they've made of.
We'll know something after these, yeah.
They're going to do a lot of Banyan talking.
So Banyan may be read in and they're saying, look, these guys, these military guys are just a bunch of idiots.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
That would be sad.
Now, if he attacks Kelly, then we know there really is a full-on war.
Because we know that's the guy if he leaves.
I guarantee he's attacking Kelly.
Okay, that'll be a good one to look at.
Beautiful.
Damn.
It's getting thick here, John.
We're in the midst of it all.
No other show could get away with even discussing such a crazy matter.
But our long-time listeners listen to this and go, sounds right.
Sounds right to me.
I've started watching the State Department briefings again since Heather Nauert is doing it.
You've seen Heather.
Sometimes she looks like what's her name?
Cameron.
Cameron Diaz.
Cameron Diaz, yeah.
A little bit.
I think you're right.
She looks like at least her and one other Hollywood star.
She has a starlet look about her.
She looks very...
Total starlet look.
But she was very frustrated this past week.
Very frustrated.
And her binder is way too big.
The binder is too big.
She's resorting to people coming in and prompting her about stuff that she didn't know.
And there was a little back and forth that I wanted to share.
This is about the invasion and search of sovereign Russian turf.
In San Francisco at the embassy.
And what Heather is going to try and tell us here is that this is bringing us back to parody.
But you'll hear in this Russian journalist who say, hey, wait a minute, what's going on?
Is this not sovereign?
Then you'll hear an American journalist, I think she's from CNN, she wants to know about the sovereignty as well.
And then we get Matt chiming in.
And when Matt chimes in, Heather goes a little bit wacky.
Excuse me, that was diplomatic security agents.
They are a part of the State Department.
They're trained federal agents.
How can you explain this?
Ma'am, this is something that...
I love how she says, ma'am.
She's like a school teacher in a way.
Like, ma'am, let me just tell you something, ma'am.
Russia's consent.
How can you explain this?
Ma'am, this is something that we, the Russian government said that it wanted to get to parity.
Russian government said it wanted to get to parity.
And now our missions, our number of our buildings are closer to parity.
So the idea here, this is what she's trying to tell the press.
She's surprised that they're pushing back.
The idea is, hey, Russia threw out a whole bunch of our people because they wanted parity with how many people are there.
Ah, you know what?
They have too many buildings.
We're going to invade and search too much.
Two Russian buildings.
And that will bring us back to parity.
So then we're kind of all even.
That's what she's going to try and sell.
Okay, and I'm just going to leave it at that.
Okay, let's move on.
Okay, hold on.
Go ahead.
Hi.
I think there's something you just said about parity.
What does the U.S. searching Russian property have to do with parity?
Okay, first of all, and I guess you guys find this funny.
I find it funny.
Isn't she just like a school marm?
Oh, I guess you guys find that very funny.
She's very defensive about this topic.
Oh, but she's out of her depth.
Because everybody knows this is totally illegal.
Exactly.
First of all, and I guess you guys find this funny, but some chuckles in the back here.
I just want to point that out.
The whole reason that this occurred was because the government of Russia said that they wanted parody.
They asked a lot of our members to leave from our properties in Russia.
And so here we're trying to get back to parity.
And all of this was conducted in accordance to the Foreign Missions Act.
It was all conducted in accordance with the Vienna Conventions.
Well, but I'm just curious, like, do you still consider that sovereign Russian property, or were those...
Valid questions.
...properties searched because there was a concern that they were being used for intelligence purposes, which would be, like, a different issue than parity, because, you know, the Russians kind of closed...
At least I'm not going to get into that right now, okay?
I'm just not going to get into that.
Let's move on to something else right now.
Shut up!
Some of these matters I'm not going to get into and debate with you here from the podium.
When I can give you additional information, I certainly would be happy to.
Q Matt!
Maybe perhaps, or consider taking a question, are you aware of, in Russia or any other country, where U.S. missions that have been vacated have been searched by the host government, whether it's their version of the FBI or their version of the clinic security?
You know what, I don't know if you all are working for RT today or what, but I... Wow.
Wow.
I don't know if y'all are working for...
That's a borderline clip of the day, dynamite.
And she'll pawn this off and wind it up with a real crap, just pussy move.
...government, whether it's their version of the FBI or their version of the clinic security.
You know what?
I don't know if y'all are working for RT today or what, but I... No, no, no, no, no.
Come on.
See, I can be funny too, Matt.
Come on.
You're joking around.
I will ask that question.
I don't know.
I've been here four months.
I don't know the normal process.
Thank you for asking.
I don't know the normal process for going through those facilities, but I will look into that.
I've only been here four months.
I don't know the normal process.
I can be funny too, Matt.
Wow.
You may be cute, Heather, but...
Well, they do this stuff, and you wonder why it comes up in a conversation.
She should have just quashed it from the get-go.
Yep.
Couldn't do it.
Nipped it in the bud.
Couldn't do it.
No.
But we'll see what happens between Matt and Heather.
Well, you know what?
I think we both agreed on this thesis, but...
They also confiscated that property, the lodges down in the outside of Connecticut or something, someplace.
I don't think they're going to end up giving this stuff back to the Russians after they put in the most high-tech buggy.
Yes, put in all the good gear.
Some of the new stuff that they know there's no defense for.
I don't know what the new stuff is.
I haven't got a clue, but it has to exist.
Maybe some of that high-tech Sonic stuff.
It can't be the old bugs where you just take this loop and you walk around.
You know, as you see in the movies, there's got to be something more special than that.
You shouldn't be able to find these things.
Exactly.
They're right into brickwork.
Exactly.
All right.
I just really...
Oh, wait a minute.
Yeah, I was going to bring this up during the donation segment.
Facebook, already a little bit under pressure now from the alt-left, in particular Rachel Maddow, very, very mad about Facebook allowing ads from Russian propagandists to throw the election, to elect Donald Trump.
It's all done through Facebook.
So they're getting a lot of pressure.
And I think that you'll see the news networks going all out and really getting mad and doing all kinds of things to discredit Facebook.
They've been waiting for this.
Well, not that this is a story.
I think the opportunity is to blame the Russia meddling on Facebook.
But the real reason maybe in this story comes from CNBC, that Facebook had a big breakfast, invitation-only breakfast for pharmaceutical marketers to learn about targeting users for their clinical trials.
This is big.
Oh, yes.
This is big.
Yeah, I saw that.
This is very, very big.
Now you're messing with the cable news guys.
You're going to come after our pharma advertisers?
Okay, son.
We're going to end you.
Oh, that could be.
I never thought it was going after their advertisers.
They were looking for people so they could get them into trials.
Right.
That's a huge service that FaceBag can provide.
Yeah.
And the pharmaceuticals are the advertisers.
Yes.
Yeah, that would upset the, especially the TV people who really, and magazines too, to some extent, that rely on the pharmaceutical dollar.
They don't need Facebook stealing that dollar.
No.
And just the mere fact this meeting took place, I think, is enough for...
You watch.
Keep your eye on anti-Facebook from CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CNBC reporting on it fairly.
I don't think they care.
Mainly CBS, NBC, and ABC. Yeah, well, it'll bubble up.
It'll bubble up to them.
We'll see what the story is.
But right now, what seems to be happening is facebag responsible.
Hasn't Hillary put this in her book yet?
That's where the story belongs.
Apparently, she's going to win volume two.
She's going to have to blame Facebook.
God.
Yeah, I can't wait.
The only other story I have is Dennis Rodman, who appeared on Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan this week.
And Piers Morgan had legitimate questions about Kim Jong-un and what Dennis Rodman can do to help, you know, to maybe make a connection between the president and the And the Supreme Leader.
Pierce's real motivation and motive behind the interview becomes apparent at the end of this clip.
It's an unlikely connection.
How on earth have you become friends with the North Korean leader?
And what sort of influence do you think you have over him?
Well, there's not all about that.
He has two piercings in his lip.
And this is why I forbade my daughter from ever doing anything in your tongue, your lip.
I don't care about a cheek.
Your tongue is very dangerous.
Yeah.
But he has tooth through his lip.
And when you hear it, he already has coherence issues.
But it's disgusting to listen to.
It's an unlikely connection.
How on earth have you become friends with the North Korean leader?
And what sort of influence do you think you have over him?
Well, it's not all about that.
It was the fact that he loves basketball.
I basically hang out with him all the time.
We laugh.
We sing karaoke.
We do a lot of cool things together.
And we ride horses.
We hang out.
We go, how gay is this?
We do karaoke.
We ride horses.
We go skiing.
We just hang out together.
It's really cool.
A lot of cool things together.
Yeah, it's cool.
And we ride horses.
We hang out.
We go skiing.
And we hardly ever talk politics.
And that's the good thing about that.
To me, I think if the president even tries to reach out for Kim, I think it would be a great possibility things can happen.
But the deal is, though, that's what I'm all about.
I'm all about bringing unity as far as sports.
No politics.
I get this, Dennis, but I want to just ask you once again, because what is unique about your relationship with him is you've spent so much time with him.
And I have no idea what this man is actually like.
I know what Donald Trump's like.
I spent lots of time with him.
And actually, the reality of Donald Trump, as you and I know, can be a lot different to the lunatic people think he is.
Tell me, just give us a little insight, Dennis, into the personality of Kim Jong-un.
Piers, I tell you what, David, you know as well as I do, Donald can be a little crazy sometimes.
You know what Donald Trump attitude is?
He loves to be cocky, he loves to be the boss, he loves to be the man, which I love Donald Trump.
And I think that I think Donald Trump will give me an opportunity to be on the show, an opportunity to be his friend and an opportunity to be American.
But I just think that one day, just one day, if someone can reach out, if Donald can say, OK, you know what, maybe I would try to try to do something.
Next time you go to North Korea, can I come with you?
Ah, there it is.
You know, I asked a lot of people to do that.
I even asked Obama.
And Obama shut me down.
Did I? Really?
I will come.
I will come.
If I play this, if I play this, Pierce.
The next time I go to North Korea...
And I will take you, Pierce.
Now, I want you to do one thing for me.
Come back to America or London or whatever.
Like I said, people don't need to hate me because, guess what?
Like I said, I don't love him.
I don't love him.
I just want to try to straighten things out for everyone to get along together.
Dennis, you have a deal.
Next time you go...
I'm on the plane.
Let's go meet Kim Jong-un.
Great to talk to you.
I see you in the UK. That's what it was all about.
I just want to go to North Korea.
You sound like you.
Yep.
Sounds just like me.
Well, not really.
Trying to scrounge a trip.
I'd do it.
I'd be part of that entourage.
In a heartbeat.
I'd polish his balls.
You know, the basketballs.
I want to go horseback riding and skiing and hanging out and singing karaoke.
I'm telling you, Dennis Rodman still may just do it.
Wouldn't that be great to get Dennis Rodman with Trump to go to North Korea?
You're going to have a Dennis Rodman statue in North Korea.
Yeah.
Okay.
Reminder, the October 1st deadline's coming up, everybody.
That's when Google screws everybody.
You gotta be HTTPS. Is Dvorak.org HTTPS? I believe it might be.
It's not that hard to fix.
It's a pain in the ass.
Because the Chrome browser will now display a huge, I don't know, will it be that thief again?
The little guy, the little burglar?
The hamburglar.
The hamburglar, yeah.
Yeah, the hamburglar will be, oh, I've got to do this for curry.com, it's annoying.
Nah, well, do it.
Just do it.
Quit stalling.
Nah, I don't like it.
I hate being forced.
I think Curry.com is just going to leave completely HTTPS free.
I like it.
You know, it's dangerous.
Oh, my God, it's Curry.com.
It's a very dangerous website.
Ooh.
Nah, I'm going to leave it.
Well, Curry.com is the one you need is a show notes website.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, that's also...
And the show, of course, will be changed anyway because it's a Squarespace site, so they'll just do it.
Well, the show notes themselves run off of Amazon S3 in buckets, and that's not HTTPS, so I've got to figure that out.
Send a note to the customer service for the S3 folks.
Sure, sure.
Hey!
What do I have to do?
If I give you a little memo and it's with the three or four steps you have to take.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I don't think it's that easy.
It's going to require five system reboots.
For sure.
All right.
You got anything else to play us out here?
I got a couple of things I could play.
I got the update on Catalonia, which everyone's getting pissed off about now.
Yeah, what else?
And we also have the last airport report just before they closed the airport.
ABC was there with one of their...
Oh, let's do that.
Let's do the airport report.
This is Miami?
I believe so.
Good evening, David.
We saw so many lines at gas stations today as well, Matt.
Our thanks to you, there were urgent pleas at Miami's airport for people not to show up unless they already had tickets.
Every passenger jet sold out.
And tonight, the last flight's now taking off.
And take a look at this radar.
From midday, the sky full of flights.
The highest concentration right there over Florida.
People escaping the storm zone.
So this evening, where are they now taking the people who could not get on those flights?
ABC's Amy Robach is there.
Today, a crush of passengers hoping to make the last flight out of Miami.
Lines of desperate passengers snaking through the airport, a sea of bags piling up in the terminal.
A whole week without electricity, internet, food, especially when you have a baby, it's harsh.
Airlines adding thousands of seats and sending bigger jets to fit more passengers.
Tonight, the terminal nearly empty.
The last flight's taking off.
Nick Williams is one of the lucky ones who's getting out.
But so many here with no flight home.
The airport is now bussing those stranded passengers to a nearby shelter to ride out the storm.
You don't have your bags.
No.
You just have this, and now you're being bussed to a shelter.
That has to be incredibly overwhelming.
You just want to go home.
Yes, that's something that I want.
And David, a stunning number for you tonight.
Miami International Airport saw more passengers today than it has in any other single day in the last 10 years.
And even still with that number, as we've been reporting, so many passengers still left without a flight stranded.
They are now being bussed to local shelters across Miami to ride out this monster storm.
David.
All right.
I think we can end on that.
Yeah.
Well, actually, we should...
All right, John, I'll be monitoring the situation until Thursday.
And we'll probably be able to give you a report on what's happening here locally on the ground as we ride it out.
We'll be riding it out.
Riding it out.
Okay, okay.
Thank you, Adam.
Stay safe.
Okay, John, you too.
And coming to you from downtown Miami with fish on the streets.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I have to go to a store to get fish.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
And we return on Tennessee with another edition of the Northern Thunder Show right here on Northern Russia.
Until then, adios, mofos!
And we'll be right back.

All right.
A day without a woman.
A day without me.
I'm about to say enough is enough.
Resist.
The man is not trustworthy.
He makes promises.
As a matter of fact, I wonder sometimes if he's not taking his cues from poop.
A day without a woman is a hell of a man.
We walked out to say enough is enough.
Resist.
And the wall that he was going to build, the big, beautiful wall.
We walked out to say enough is enough.
Resist.
A day without a woman is a hell of a man.
A man is not trustworthy.
Are he with promises?
As a matter of fact, I wonder sometimes if he's not taking his cues from poop.
We walked out to say enough is enough.
Resist.
While Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.
A day without a woman is a hell of a man.
We walked out to say enough is enough.
Resist.
We much.
We much.
The best podcast in the universe!
Adios, mofo.
