	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, September 17, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 9 or 6 live.
	This is No Agenda.
	From juggalos to giant voice systems, we cover it all.
	Coming to you from the darkest corners of the internet in downtown Austin Tejas, capital of the Drone Star State, in the Cludio, in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'll bet you Hillary shows up, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackbomb and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Unavoidable since I have started reading the book.
	The, uh...
	If Hillary had gotten as much coverage as she's getting with this one book, she'd have been president.
	Possibly.
	It was a lot of good exposure, for sure.
	I mean, I don't know if it's all good exposure, but it's a lot of exposure.
	Yeah.
	Have you started reading it?
	No, I didn't get it yet.
	Oh, I did.
	I started reading it.
	Why don't we read it on the show?
	Starting with Paige, the preface, please.
	Well, here's what's interesting, and I wasn't all that surprised.
	You remember I did a book show years ago when I was in Los Angeles called The Big Book Show, and it was an app, and I interviewed authors about their books, and I'd get all the free books, and I'd read the books, and I'd talk to these people, and it was okay.
	It was fun.
	And you have free books.
	Yeah, it was no way to make any money, but it was a lot of fun doing it.
	And you have free books.
	Free books, yes.
	And I met some interesting people.
	So when you start reading this book, you realize very quickly the complaint that I always heard from authors, because I'd interview them and they'd say, wow, you actually read the book.
	I'm like, yeah, doesn't everybody?
	He says, no.
	No.
	I said, how about book TV? No.
	No.
	They barely read the book.
	If you go with Larry King's approach, he decides never to read the book.
	Yes.
	So everything you've seen on television so far is in the first chapter of the book.
	If you're just, quick, let's read it!
	Everything.
	Every little bit that you've heard about is in the first chapter.
	And what is very annoying...
	She obviously didn't write this book herself.
	I don't think she...
	Can write.
	Yeah, I don't think she can write.
	You know, there'll be this like, oh, and I remember this quote from this author.
	You know, it's like there's 10 of them in the first chapter alone.
	Yes, I remember it so well.
	This quote from this author from this book.
	And Bill and I, even during the campaign, we went back and reread some other books to understand exactly, you know, how this works in historical context.
	Maybe she should have been campaigning more and reading less books.
	Yeah, possibly.
	Possibly.
	I mean, for instance, so this is, what is this, page?
	Oh, it doesn't say what page.
	You know, the howl straight from the white nationalist gut.
	Its most memorable line was about American carnage, a startling phrase more suited to a slasher film than an inaugural address.
	Trump painted a picture of a bitter, broken country I didn't recognize.
	Oh yeah, here's the George Orwell thing you were curious about.
	Because I wanted to know that as well.
	How did she really interpret 1984 by George Orwell?
	Oh, right.
	He had things been floating around in Twitters.
	Yeah, so again, this is in the first chapter.
	As Yale history professor Timothy Snyder writes in his book On Tyranny, 20 Lessons from the 20th Century, To abandon facts is to abandon freedom.
	If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power because there is no basis upon which to do so.
	If nothing is true, then all is spectacle.
	So there's a quote from a book she read.
	Attempting to define reality is a core feature of authoritarianism.
	This is what the Soviets did when they erased political dissidence from historical photos.
	This is what happens in George Orwell's classic novel 1984 when a torturer holds up four fingers and delivers electric shocks until his prisoner sees five fingers as ordered.
	The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust towards exactly the people we need to rely on.
	Our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, ourselves.
	For Trump, as with so much he does, it's about simple dominance.
	So what she's saying is that only the Trump government is like 1984.
	for.
	And that other governments are good because you should trust the leaders and your press and your experts.
	That's not the message of the book.
	Not hardly.
	At all.
	Actually, that particular part of the book is kind of dubious because, in fact, a public...
	If they knew about the shock therapy in that particular situation where you were told to see five fingers when they held up four...
	I don't care who it is, in a modern society especially, you would go in there and say, how many fingers do you see?
	And you'd say five.
	You wouldn't take the shock.
	You know they're going to keep electrocuted until you say five.
	Just say five.
	Yeah, but you're supposed to say...
	So what?
	What difference does it make?
	Yeah, who cares?
	I mean, what difference does it make?
	You're supposed to see five, and then you hold up four.
	Okay, five.
	Now what?
	I'm out of here.
	For Trump, if everyone's down in the mud with him, then he's no dirtier than anyone else.
	He doesn't have to do better if everyone else does worse.
	I think that's why he seems to relish humiliating people around him.
	And it's why he must have been delighted when Marco Rubio tried to match him in slinging crude personal insults during the primaries.
	Of course, it hurt Rubio much more than Trump.
	As Bill likes to say, never wrestle a pig in the mud.
	They have clobin hooves which give them super traction and they love getting dirty.
	Sadly, Trump's strategy worked.
	When people started believing that all politicians are liars and crooks, the truly corrupt escapes scrutiny and cynicism grows.
	Hold on a second.
	When you have these little adages like never wrestle a pig in the mud, that's where you stop.
	You don't go into a long explanation as to why the pig is better.
	And by the way, cloven hooves, kettle, pot.
	Hello, Hillary.
	We heard you clippity-clop with your cloven hooves every single time on the State Department floor.
	We know who's got the hooves.
	I'm almost imagining her being with the writer when she does the pig thing.
	And the guy writes it down.
	And then she says, I think we better explain what that means.
	Yeah.
	I don't think we need to.
	Not really.
	No, no, no.
	I think we should.
	Let's start with they get better traction because they got these cloven hooks.
	And there's another thing.
	They cool off in the mud.
	So actually, their environment is very mud if given a choice.
	Some more.
	And the guy said, I don't think we need all these details.
	And let's listen to the...
	And also, something that she does consistently...
	Every little thing that was odd that she did, she has an explanation for in the book.
	And I'm looking around at my bookmarks here, so I'm going to find a good example.
	So as always, well, something weird happened, and this is the obvious explanation for why that happened.
	But here she talks about the Clinton Foundation.
	She's very proud of the work of the Foundation.
	The Foundation, and I didn't know this, is also fighting the opioid epidemic in the United States.
	Helping more than 150,000 small farmers in Africa increase their incomes, bringing clean energy to island nations in the Caribbean Pacific.
	I had to read that four times, because they're semicolons, so I guess what she's saying is they're fighting the opioid epidemic in the United States.
	Period.
	They're using semicolons for this particular...
	Yeah, for this list, yes.
	From a professional writer's perspective.
	It's bad, right?
	Yeah.
	It's considered bad form to use a semicolon ever.
	I do it...
	I don't know.
	Probably I do it maybe once a year.
	I use one.
	Among Clinton Global Initiative's greatest hits were sending 500 tons of medical supplies and equipment to West Africa for those fighting the Ebola epidemic and helping raise $500 million to support small businesses, farms, schools, and healthcare in Haiti.
	Yeah.
	Sadly, only a couple million went to Haiti, but you sure raised $500 million.
	Is that what she said, $500 million?
	Yeah, to support small business, helping raise $500 million to support small business farms and schools and healthcare in Haiti.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Tone deaf.
	I think she's oblivious to her own reality.
	Must be.
	Must be.
	Well, let's play a couple of Hillary.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Just one more thing.
	Just one more thing.
	I want just, you know, we talk about the feud between Hill and Bill.
	Yeah.
	I, even if this is true, I probably would have not put it in my book in this manner about my spouse.
	Losing is hard for everyone, but losing a race you thought you would win is devastating.
	I remember when Bill lost his re-election as governor of Arkansas in 1980.
	He was so distraught at the outcome that I had to go to the hotel where the election night party was held to speak to his supporters on his behalf.
	For a good while afterward, he was so depressed that he practically couldn't get off the floor.
	That's not me.
	I keep going.
	I also stew and ruminate.
	I run through the tape over and over, identifying every mistake, especially those made by me.
	When I feel wronged, I get mad, and then I think about how to fight back.
	So Bill's just a beta male puss.
	I can't get off the floor.
	I'm so sad.
	She's definitely...
	I have to read this book.
	She sounds like she's just so full of herself.
	Let me see.
	There's just one more thing.
	She talks about bumping into everybody at the inauguration.
	Oh, yeah.
	She talks about the inauguration on...
	She made the rounds.
	She said, I bumped into George W. Bush, and he said, Boy, that was some weird shit.
	With his characteristic Texas bluntness, I couldn't have agreed more.
	That's talking about the inauguration.
	Fascinating.
	Now, what is probably better, just to wrap this up to get into your clips, I don't have audio of it, but I do have the BBC Nine Reasons Why Trump Win Me from the Pigeon Sight.
	So the BBC Pigeon did a rundown of the book.
	With the nine top reasons.
	Go.
	I'm going to try.
	James Comey, oh now remember the story about how Clinton get private email server when she be Secretary of State for Barack Obama government?
	Well, she say the way former FBI Director James Comey take the announce the news up and down anyhow, now one of the reasons why she no win.
	U.S. President Donald Trump will win Clinton for the election come later fire Comey because of waiting the way him handle the Clinton email palabra.
	Vladimir Putin, nobody goes surprised, say, Russia President Vladimir Putin entered the list.
	Mrs.
	Clinton talk about Putin for her book, say, I no ever believe, say, go in your mind, attack the democracy secretly, and them no catch them.
	She believes, say, Trump team joined hand with Russia, so she go lose.
	I'm loving this language.
	I was going to start with the news hour, but now I've changed my mind.
	I want to start this off with...
	A couple days ago, she showed up on Rachel Maddow.
	Yes, I saw that.
	I only have one clip from it, but that's not that important, so you go.
	I have the clip.
	This is the next day when new information appeared.
	And I was listening.
	If you deconstruct Rachel Maddow, she's really...
	Her whole style is radio.
	And she shouldn't even be on television.
	But let's listen to Facebook has to own up.
	Yeah, I'm glad we identified this as being something cool to listen to.
	To really divide people.
	And so we're going to make Facebook own up to everything.
	They've just begun to own up.
	They have a long way to go before they get to where they need to be, in my opinion.
	We're going to make Facebook own up to everything.
	That was Hillary Clinton in her interview on this show last night making the case that Facebook needs to show their work.
	They need to own up to the fact that they let their platform be weaponized by Russia as part of Russia's attack on our election last year.
	Facebook, of course, denied for months that Russia used them at all in their attack.
	Now Facebook has reversed course and admitted, okay, yeah, they did.
	But they won't say how they figured it out or what they found when they looked into it.
	It's been hard to figure out what exactly Facebook turned up in their records that finally made them change their tune on this story all these months later.
	What made them finally admit that they'd sold ads to Russian interests?
	We haven't been able to really figure out how they did it, how they got to this conclusion.
	Until today, we got this from Senator Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
	You can see that he retweeted a CBS News story about the Facebook Russian ads thing.
	You can also see, though, that he made a critical addition to this tweet.
	He added six words of his own.
	This is what he added.
	And they paid in rubles.
	Seriously.
	That was his whole tweet.
	Was that like a joke?
	What does that mean?
	Russia bought ads in the election?
	Russians buy things in rubles?
	Ha ha ha!
	But Mark Warner is the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee.
	He doesn't say things about this investigation by mistake.
	It seemed unlikely he jumped on Twitter to workshop his Russian currency jokes.
	So we called Senator Warner's office today.
	We asked what he meant when he fired off that tweet.
	And we got a very satisfying answer.
	His office told us tonight, quote, it's literally true.
	Some of the ads were paid for in rubles.
	So that was not him making a joke.
	According to the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Facebook really did accept rubles to sell those ads that were part of Russia's hack on the election.
	That's what took Facebook's crack investigators months and months to figure out.
	You would have thought it like a currency check and their records might have sorted out, hey, did we get paid in rubles for any political ads in the campaign?
	Took them months.
	That was the operational secret Facebook didn't want us to know about how they were looking into this.
	Oh, man.
	Can we just stay with the face bag for a moment before we go to more Hillary?
	Because NPR did a piece on this.
	Did you have any comment about this?
	Well, besides the fact that she took forever to just express this little piece of information and went on, and she's also...
	Yeah, smacking, smacking.
	She's lip-smacking and eating something, and she's...
	She's kind of breathing in.
	Yeah.
	It's terrible.
	Well, she feels that she didn't necessarily break the story, but she gave it the promotion.
	Remember, I said, oh, we have brand new breaking news.
	This is maybe two weeks ago.
	And so exactly, and I love what's happening here.
	It's very funny.
	Well, I think it's hilarious that Facebook is taking it into shorts, as a phrase from the Shays, for this whole thing and own up.
	Own up.
	Well, it gets better.
	What does that even mean?
	Own up.
	It gets better.
	What does own up mean to you?
	It means they gotta own up that they either A, lie, lie.
	I'm not asking what they have to own up to.
	I'm asking you what does, when someone says, you have to own up.
	It means you have to admit guilt.
	Why don't you say that then?
	Well, it's face bag.
	Very powerful.
	We wouldn't want TRMS downvoted in the algos now, would we?
	Own up.
	So when this happens, you got a lot of, I'm doing big air quotes here in the Cludio, journalists, and my favorite from ProPublica, Who will then go and try and do more things of this nature?
	Wait a minute.
	Russia was able to buy political ads, of which we still buy.
	In the newsletter, you had two examples.
	I had two of them.
	I found a bunch of them.
	They're very different.
	Let's start with this information.
	Yeah, please.
	Very hard to find any examples of these so-called ads.
	You can do it, though, if you use that.
	I forgot what term.
	I don't have the newsletter in front of me.
	You have to add a special search term.
	Secure borders, I think.
	Yes, secure borders.
	Once you put that in there, you start to see the ads because they all come up.
	They are the stupidest ads.
	They're funny.
	I think they're more comic than they are This great, sensational ad.
	What you wrote in the newsletter was very on point.
	The way the advertising is promised to work is you get the right ad in front of the right person.
	That was written for you specifically.
	I know it was.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate it.
	And that means that you would be giving...
	Hillary people what they want.
	And they're not going to be...
	Yes, the Facebook algorithm, what they claim is that people are...
	This is the new modern way of advertising.
	You give people advertising that they want to see.
	Yes.
	That's what they keep telling us, right?
	Right, right?
	Right, right, right, right.
	So they have this advertising that they want.
	So they would...
	Who saw these ads?
	Yes.
	I think nobody saw the ads.
	I think Facebook took the money and ran.
	Well, so now journalists, as smart as they are, although even in this NPR report, I think they say, well, they did a really simple thing, because NPR can't stand that ProPublica did this.
	It's something that we, it's actually no agenda thinking.
	Here we go.
	So, ProPublica did something really simple in terms of clever reporting.
	The official line from Facebook is, hate speech is in violation of our community standards and we don't tolerate it.
	The reality is Facebook is creating tools to sell it.
	ProPublica decided to go into Facebook, not as a regular user, but into the advertising section.
	It's automated online.
	They didn't call a customer service line.
	And they selected terms like, we want to target ads to people who express interest in Oh, how disappointing it wasn't about how to burn Jews.
	That would have really made it perfect, ProPublica.
	Then ProPublica called Facebook and said, you guys are letting us target to anti-Semitic subgroups.
	Exactly how she says it.
	You guys are letting us target anti-Semitic hate groups.
	We have you.
	Which in this case wasn't anti-Semitic material.
	It was just a link to a news article.
	Then ProPublica called Facebook and said, you guys are letting us target to anti-Semitic subgroups.
	Those ad terms have since disappeared from the platform, and Facebook says they weren't common or widespread.
	But still, it seems like a big oversight on their part.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Think of it this way.
	Facebook's business is based on letting advertisers do exactly what ProPublica did, which is targeting the most personal, even insidious parts of ourselves, okay?
	There's an industry term for this.
	It's called...
	Wait, wait, this gets good.
	Tina heard this.
	She's like, who is this dumbo?
	There's an industry term for this.
	It's called psychographic marketing.
	Ooh, psychographic marketing.
	Is it new?
	Oh my.
	This must be something from the future.
	In the old days, if you were placing ads, you relied on demographics.
	But with psychographics, you go deeper.
	You don't just advertise to, say, men in Baltimore age 19 to 35 who are black.
	You can add interests like cop killer.
	And if Facebook finds and zaps that term, you pick a proxy.
	Proxy.
	You know, say a band or a movie that's all about bawling down cops.
	So what's even better is...
	What did she say at the end?
	I couldn't even understand it.
	Oh, if you wanted to target people who want to kill cops, then you do that...
	No, at the very end, she had a word at the end.
	I couldn't understand it.
	What was it?
	You use a proxy so you would get a movie about cops being killed.
	That would be the proxy to find people who are interested maybe in that, which doesn't sound right, but okay.
	What ProPublica did online was even a little bit better because the way the keyword for advertisers search works in Google is It's just like your recommended search.
	Did you mean this?
	Did you mean that?
	So when you type in people who want to burn Jews, it'll say, hey, do you want people who want to burn black people?
	And it actually does that, which I understand why it does it.
	But all of a sudden, they went, oh, we had no idea.
	There's gambling going on there?
	Of course, people are targeting you on all of this stuff.
	NPR talks about a solution.
	Well, Facebook has been focused on growth, on hypergrowth.
	Every quarter, the CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, gets on a quarterly earnings call and shares these dazzling numbers about how much they're advertising, their mobile advertising business has grown.
	And, you know, something I think about is, what if Zuckerberg also reported on an error rate or a harm rate?
	You know, just like in the 20th century industry, you might see disclosures around carbon emissions.
	What if Facebook and other data companies had to create and report a kind of harm metric?
	Harm metric.
	Speech, calls to violence, Russian influence on U.S. elections.
	That doesn't exist.
	I'm just thinking out loud here.
	Facebook, by the way, pays for NPR's video content.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Listen to the very end.
	That doesn't exist.
	I'm just thinking out loud here.
	Facebook, by the way, pays for NPR's video content, some of it.
	Okay, thank you.
	Again, her last words are unintelligible.
	What was the last word?
	She says, Facebook pays for NPR, and then she said something.
	For the video conferencing.
	Can you play it again?
	I want to hear it knowing what she said.
	Had to create and report a kind of harm metric, you know, for hate speech, calls to violence, Russian influence on U.S. elections.
	You know, that doesn't exist.
	I'm just thinking out loud here.
	Facebook, by the way, pays for NPR's video content, some of it.
	Some of it.
	Some video content.
	You didn't hear it either.
	No, I didn't.
	Content, content.
	I don't know.
	But anyway, I like this.
	Facebook pays for PBS's video content.
	Yeah, so they pay them.
	They have a commercial relation.
	It's a disclaimer which she should have done at the beginning of the report, but she does it at the end.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I like this.
	I like that they're coming down on the advertising of these companies because I know how much bullcrap is in there.
	And I think advertisers are getting woke.
	Man.
	Man.
	Well, let's go back over these Russian ads.
	How come these guys...
	I've never seen anyone...
	I think my newsletter is the first operation to ever show any of these ads.
	In the previous newsletter, I had another one of them.
	The one with Hillary talking about New World Order or something.
	And these ads are extremely...
	I wouldn't call them rank amateur ads.
	But they're very...
	They're funny in an old-fashioned way.
	They're sloppy.
	The art is mediocre.
	The layout is kind of dumb.
	In the next news, I'll dig up about 20 of them.
	I think there's about...
	I don't know how many there were, but I don't see that they had any effect on anything.
	I don't know why everyone's making a big fuss.
	I think if they started showing these ads on these shows, when they were making these discussions, people would go, what's the fuss?
	But they don't do that.
	They talk about it in a vacuum.
	It's ridiculous.
	What's even better is, also from NPR, a different program, the head of U.S. counterintelligence, in the piece he's called the nation's spy catcher-in-chief, He talks about some of the methods they use.
	Well, I think stopping it going forward is probably the right to not posture.
	You have to understand it first, and then you have to be able to articulate the danger and why it should be a priority, and then drive resources towards it.
	This is about online.
	Does that mean we don't follow intelligence officers around anymore?
	That we spend more time on Twitter and Facebook and on social media?
	And if that is the case, we have to train our personnel accordingly.
	But short of arguing that your team should be able to unilaterally access Facebook accounts in real time, how do you prevent something like that from happening?
	Well, I wish we could, but we can't.
	This is America, and we have something that no one else has.
	It's called the Constitution.
	Other countries that we play against don't follow the same rule for you.
	So as we move forward to understand what happened to Facebook, which was not illegal, right?
	We have to partner more effectively with private sector organizations like Facebook for them to understand what that threat is.
	How do you do that, man?
	Well, we have to have dialogue.
	There's a lot, and we already knew this, there's a lot going on, and Facebook seems to be the battleground.
	I'm just going to play two more clips and I'm done with this, because the Defense One Summit, which I found, had on Lumpkin.
	He's the head of the Global Engagement Center.
	That's the State Department spy operation, I think, John?
	Well, I'm not sure that's true.
	I don't.
	I think they're part of the State Department.
	I don't know if it's the spy operation.
	Okay.
	Well, it's the propaganda department, for sure.
	Well, that could be.
	Listen.
	You have to remember.
	Hold on.
	There was, I think we did this on the show, there's something like 10,000 PR people in the State Department, so they're propaganda department.
	I thought that was CIA that had all those people.
	No, no, it's the State Department.
	Well, I'm sure they both have large staffs.
	We don't know.
	The CIA one is more secretive.
	Well, this guy's in charge of the Global Engagement Center.
	And the CIA doesn't need as many because they have all these journalists.
	You'll hear some of that in these two clips.
	This is the real American ministry of truth.
	And remember, we're in the context of Russia placing some innocuous face bag ads that apparently won the election.
	An example is...
	We've seen almost a 400% increase in funding towards this effort over the past two years.
	So we've seen a four-fold increase.
	From who?
	From the U.S. government.
	We're putting against the counter-messaging problem set.
	And I think we're now getting the resources to actually effectively operate in this space.
	And we're using those resources to bring in talent from the private sector.
	We're using it to bring in cutting-edge technology that lets us look at data the way we need to look at data.
	We're building the tools, the software, the people, and we're building a network of partners.
	because we do have a networked approach because we recognize that while we may have a really, really good message, we're not always the most credible messenger to deliver it.
	Right.
	So, and I think that's the key is in order to do this effectively, and part of this building a network is to actually train our partners and to help them understand the most effective ways to message.
	So when he says partners, building the partner network, this is a This is exactly what the Trump administration and Russia and WikiLeaks are being accused of, with Macedonia, of having a network, building up a network, putting out propaganda, and then having that...
	Well, of course, we don't call it propaganda, now do we?
	As we work the data piece, it gives us the ability, instead of just throwing a message out and hope it lands...
	We can actually, I call that kind of meat cleaver messaging.
	Meat cleaver messaging.
	You throw it out there, and hopefully it hits the right audience.
	And so we have the ability, and I'll use an example of something we've started this year, and this is using Facebook ads.
	I can go within Facebook.
	I can go grab an audience.
	I'll give a hypothetical.
	I can pick country X. I need age group 13 to 34.
	I need people who've liked...
	Whether it's Abu Bakr or Baghdadi or any other set, and I can shoot and hit them directly with messages.
	In some places in the world, it's literally pennies a click to do.
	So you add the ability to actually manage and identify and see your audience based on their social media preferences.
	That said, we do have challenges in working with big data.
	Some of our challenges are we have, you know, the 1974 Privacy Act, for example, was created, you know, to make sure that we're not influencing collecting data on U.S. citizens.
	Except that got overturned in the 2013 repeal of Smith-Mundt.
	It's the National Defense Authorization Act, so you're good to go.
	Well, with IPS addresses and by...
	Notice how he says IPS addresses, since he doesn't understand his IP addresses, this moron.
	Well, with IPS addresses and...
	Yeah, because I'm sure it was written somewhere, these IPS are coming from here, this IPS coming from there, so he thinks it's IPS. Oh, IPS. Yes, he thinks it's...
	Somebody said there's a lot of IPS, yeah, and he thinks it's IPS. Ha!
	Ha!
	There's your expert right there.
	Head of the propaganda agency.
	To make sure that we're not influencing collecting data on U.S. citizens.
	Well, with IPS addresses, and by definition the World Wide Web is worldwide, there is no passport that goes with it.
	It says that this is an American citizen on the other end, or it doesn't matter if it's an example, a Tunisian in the United States, a Tunisian citizen.
	The United States or an American citizen in Tunisia.
	I don't have the ability to discern that.
	Right.
	So therefore, I have trouble working big data and to grab that personally identifiable information and slice it and dice it.
	And this is why the Facebook ads that I mentioned are kind of a fundamental change for us for very low investment to be highly targeted towards the enemy.
	So what I'm hearing here is that we do exactly the same thing we're accusing the Russians of, in exactly the same manner, with exactly the same tools.
	It's become the guy talks about like it's warfare.
	I can hit anybody with that.
	I can, for pennies a click, I can get him.
	I can nail him.
	I guess his message is so fantastic.
	Here's the thing that blew me away, and I did it to myself.
	This Defense One video was from a year and a half ago.
	This is well known within our own government, within Barack Obama's government.
	And they didn't understand that the Russians might be doing this?
	I call bullcrap.
	The whole thing is bull crap, let's face it.
	And I want to ask another question that has never been asked that I can tell watching all these shows over and over, the debates about these stupid ads are the dumbest things.
	And again, you know, you have to see them.
	The newsletter has two of them that are typical, especially the picture with a bad cartoon of Trump holding up a little Mexican kid.
	It's kind of gruesome, actually.
	Yeah.
	Is it illegal for anybody, foreign government, a stooge in town, some guy drunk on the street?
	But let's just say, is it illegal for Russia to...
	Facebook's an international operation.
	Is it illegal for the Russians to take out an ad?
	No.
	It's not.
	Then what's the point?
	Well, who cares then?
	In fact, it's being said in many circles, while not illegal, it is still not nice.
	Well, you're reading.
	I'm only watching the television reports.
	Nobody on the television...
	Has said, while not illegal.
	If it's not illegal, so what?
	Because it's fun.
	It's fun to think that the face bag is controlling your life.
	Well, it is controlling a lot of people's life.
	Definitely not mine, except in an obtuse way.
	Because everybody else is controlled by it, so thus I have to be affected.
	But this is crazy, crazy, crazy.
	It's cray-cray.
	I like it that, you know, for years we have said, and I come from the advertising business, media advertising.
	For years, everyone's known.
	Half of my money for advertising works great.
	The other half had no idea.
	I just don't know what half it is.
	You have no idea.
	But somehow these yahoos in the State Department who talk about IPSs, They are the experts and they're going to craft messaging, which is clearly going to change everybody's mind.
	Yeah.
	They got a long way to catch up.
	I don't know.
	Unfortunately, I don't know where those messages are going or if we can ever find a copy of them.
	It's too bad.
	If somebody ever sees what appears to be a CIA ad on their Facebook feed, send it to us.
	I think you have to start liking things.
	So he just said it.
	You got to like Al-Baghdadi.
	Yeah.
	You got to like his page.
	I didn't know he had a page.
	And why does he have a page?
	For promotion.
	Yeah, you gotta like that stuff and maybe get some of these crazy ads.
	They gotta be dynamite.
	It's for promotion, of course.
	Why does he have a page?
	Please.
	Because he's opening up a chain of fried chicken stores in Mosul.
	I think it's Chick-fil-A, actually.
	He's got a franchise in Mosul.
	Mosul chicken.
	The best there is.
	Well, they do eat a lot of very specific style of fried chicken in the Middle East.
	Saudi Arabia being one of the big Operations, they have two or three of these chains.
	One of them is supposed to be spectacular.
	Is it any good?
	Because I really...
	I'm down on...
	Oh, there's one?
	I'm so down on fried chicken.
	Just chicken in general.
	I don't like fried chicken.
	I get sick of chicken.
	But apparently, they soak it in lime juice or something for a month, and they let it rot, and then they do something else.
	It's fresh.
	And then the next thing you know, it's delicious.
	I ran into a guy.
	I was flying around.
	I ran into...
	This was years ago, but I ran into this guy.
	Who was a troubleshooter for the oil refiners.
	And I think he was also some sort of a spook.
	And he's just leaving Saudi Arabia after fixing one of the refineries.
	And I'm talking to him and he brought up this fried chicken.
	And he says this fried chicken.
	And we started talking about the chicken.
	He says this fried chicken.
	And I have the name of the place somewhere.
	I'll put it in a newsletter.
	He says this is the most spectacular fried chicken.
	You can't imagine how good it is.
	I took his word for it.
	He's well-traveled.
	And I've never...
	I've looked at the chicken place.
	It's a chain of stores in Saudi Arabia.
	And they have a website.
	And you can go look at the website and people eating the chicken and smiling.
	And they show the chicken being...
	I don't see that as anything special.
	It's not like the pressure cooker chicken that's made by Kentucky Fried with that crazy cooker they have.
	But I don't know, maybe it's terrific.
	Just to get off on a jag.
	Let's get back to Hillary.
	Yeah, let me play my quick clip from Rachel.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, just a quickie and there's a reason for it.
	It's all part of his manipulation.
	That is who he is.
	That's how he behaves.
	So I'm hoping that the people who have a mature view of the exercise of power when it comes to something like North Korea, life or death, When it comes to something that would be incredibly stupid, given North Korea pulling out of the Iran deal so we have a second nuclear crisis to contend with,
	I'm hoping that on the really big issues, there's enough authority to be able to restrain and contain the president.
	That's what we all have to hope because I think this president and some of the people around him pose a clear and present danger to our country.
	It took me a while, because whenever you hear clear and present danger, the thinking is always Harrison Ford.
	But it's actually a technical term used by the Supreme Court to curtail free speech.
	In other words, it falls under the fire in a theater.
	If something is deemed clear and present danger, which speech can be according to the Supreme Court, then that is unconstitutional.
	Or you're not protected by the First Amendment.
	And that's why this is being repeated over and over again.
	Well, if you think so.
	I haven't heard it that much that it's repeated over and over again.
	Oh, it's in the book several times.
	I wonder what she's getting at.
	We'll hear it.
	I think we need to be on the lookout for this.
	It's just like, you know, they want to impeach the guy.
	Or they want to talk about impeaching him.
	Yeah, they just want to go back to my original thesis.
	They want to just keep him high on the list so they can get more people in 2018.
	Yeah, you need to hold up.
	I think it's backfiring.
	I think they're making the same mistake they made during the original election by giving him too much airtime.
	And they're popping too early.
	Yes, a big problem they do over and over again.
	Alright, let's take a listen to, the next day, a couple days later after she was on, that you just had.
	Yes, back at the ranch.
	She shows up on NewsHour with Judy Woodruff, who doesn't seem to like her.
	Judy has got a funny look on her face like, I don't like this woman, is what the look says to me.
	And it's consistent.
	And she even has some insulting retorts after, I think one of them is Hillary's talking and talking and talking and yakking and yakking and yakking.
	And then Woodruff says, well, be that as it may or something very, it was short of saying whatever.
	Which would have been better.
	It would have been, but she's too professional to do that.
	And the other thing is when Judy's asking questions, I find it's really annoying that Hillary is one of these nodders.
	She's nodding her head.
	Like one of these, you know, like just crazy.
	Her head is going up and down like nuts.
	It's not like a Tourette's thing?
	Because I'm sensitive to that.
	No.
	No, I think I can spot Tourette's from just, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I think it's a form of when you're nodding your head when somebody is asking you something or talking to you and you're nodding your head like crazy.
	I think it's a rude form of, yeah, yeah, yeah, get it over with so I can...
	I need to talk.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You're right.
	And she is a real.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So let's go with the with these clips and we can get a good.
	She has a good, this clip number one is a pretty good general takedown of her analysis of things.
	In fact, her analysis keeps kind of, it's in flux.
	In this particular case, it's in flux.
	She actually had to be reminded to blame Comey.
	The book, What Happened in the 2016 Election.
	I really was not ready or equipped to run for president against a reality TV candidate.
	I take running for president and being president really seriously.
	It's maybe the toughest job in the world, right?
	And I knew that there was unfinished business from the successful two terms of President Obama, whom I had served, but that we needed to go further on the economy, on health care, and so much else.
	I really prepared, and I prepared what I wanted to say, how I would defend what I wanted to do.
	It turned out that was very hard to communicate.
	It was a time when an empty podium got more broadcast minutes than all of the policies that I was putting forth.
	You're right.
	I just realized that.
	I thought that was a good line.
	We saw more empty podia just waiting for Trump to arrive than they spent on her.
	They said, we're going to go to Trump's speech, and then they would shoot the empty podium.
	Well, he'll be here any minute.
	And they just leave the camera on this empty podium for, I don't know, five, ten minutes sometimes.
	Then all of the policies that I was putting forth.
	And now that there's been a lot of analysis coming from all sorts of independent observers, I think it was clear that the kind of campaign I was running and the seriousness with which I looked at the agenda I wanted to represent I think it was clear that the kind of campaign I was running and the seriousness with which I looked at the agenda I wanted to represent and then execute was just out of sync with the anger
	So that my brand of leadership, which is very focused on bringing people together, solving problems, it's what I've always tried to do, just had a hard time being as powerfully compelling in that campaign as I think it has been in previous years just had a hard time being as powerfully compelling in that campaign as Yep.
	Thank you.
	You could have shortened that one up.
	I think it was...
	I didn't think it was too long.
	There's shorter ones.
	But I thought it was good because she didn't...
	She's forgotten about Comey in this.
	Right, okay.
	It's true.
	She's going on and on.
	She's dreaming up new things.
	I think it really hurt Judy because...
	This woman is just, she's unapologetic, she's just pointing the finger at everything, and she's, I've never realized how humorless she is until this interview.
	And I'm just going to say she does that laugh every so often, and I think even when she did this, she came, we saw he died, ha ha ha.
	I think she's one of those people, and I've talked about this on the show before, and I noticed this at the end of this interview, I do not have a clip of it, but she's talking to Judy, and I think Judy finally smiles and Hillary starts to laugh.
	She's one of those, which means maybe she is a lizard.
	Maybe.
	She does one of these things where people that have no real sense of humor fake laugh a lot.
	Yeah.
	Because they're thinking, well, maybe that was funny.
	Let me laugh.
	Maybe that was funny.
	Let me laugh.
	And she's had way too many people around her start laughing as well.
	So she thinks she's...
	Here's the clip for people who don't know about it.
	This is when she was doing an interview at the State Department, sit-down interview, and Uma Abedin leans over, shows her the blackberry, which says that they have killed Muammar Gaddafi.
	Here is her response.
	So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed...
	Yes, we came...
	We saw.
	He died.
	He didn't have anything to do with it.
	They raped him too!
	That was great!
	So I'm now convinced he has zero sense of humor.
	And I think...
	By the way, I'm sorry to interrupt.
	According to PSYOP master Steve Pchenik, both Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein are fine and living down south.
	In Florida?
	No, like South America.
	Oh.
	I find that hard to believe.
	Me too.
	Okay, let's go on with Hillary on NewsR2.
	You single out James Comey.
	Yes, I do.
	The former FBI director.
	Hey, James Comey.
	Hey, hey.
	Come on, James Comey.
	This big on the prompter, so it's flashing.
	Comey, Comey, Comey.
	Comey.
	Hey Judy, you've got a reminder about Comey.
	Do you single out James Comey?
	Yes I do.
	The former FBI Director.
	My question though is, he was in the role he was in because the then Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, had pulled back and essentially turned over the leading role in overseeing the FBI investigation into your emails.
	Because of that meeting on the airport tarmac with your husband, with former President Bill Clinton.
	So my question is, to what extent did Loretta Lynch and President Clinton make a costly mistake?
	Judy, I just don't buy that.
	I honestly reject that premise partly because there's a chain of command in the Justice Department.
	There's a Deputy Attorney General, we all now know who it was, Sally Yates, a woman of experience and integrity.
	We knew at the time, after it was reported, that both my husband and Loretta Lynch said they didn't say a word about this.
	The optics were not good, I admit that.
	But in this chain of command, if the Attorney General is recused, you know, the Deputy Attorney General.
	And what we know happened is that the investigation was getting nowhere.
	There was nothing to find.
	And he was in a position of having to accept the evidence that there was no case.
	I think what he did against the advice of people around him in the FBI and the Justice Department was in large measure due to political pressures that he was under from people that he had worked with before.
	Just people, things, places.
	We don't have to be specific when we're accusing people.
	In the FBI and outside the FBI. And so, when you're a prosecutor or you're an FBI director, if there's no case, there's no case.
	And instead, he had a press conference and really went after not just me, the entire State Department.
	Okay, that was over on July 5th.
	Right.
	Right.
	That, I thought, was...
	A breach of professional ethics and responsibility and a rejection of the protocols within the Justice Department.
	It was over.
	And we were doing fine going forward.
	What really was costly and what I believe was the proximate cause of my defeat was his October 28th letter, which has never been adequately explained or defended, had nothing to do with what happened months before.
	But my point is he wouldn't have been in that position had Loretta Lynch not I don't believe that.
	I mean, he was in a position that was subordinate to the chain of command in the Justice Department.
	So, Loretta Lynch recuses.
	It's like when Sessions recused, the Deputy Attorney General steps forward and starts, you know, running the investigation.
	There were plenty of people who were in that chain of command who were telling him, I'm told, you know, okay, nothing there, end it.
	And that's not what he did.
	Oh, man.
	That's a lie.
	Yeah, she's rewriting history.
	She's rewriting history.
	This is how it's done.
	And, man, this is so un-American.
	That's my problem with it.
	It's just un-American.
	What is?
	Yeah, bitching and moaning about losing.
	We don't do that.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I agree with that.
	Yeah, this is terrible.
	What we do is we say, you know what?
	I sucked.
	I'm going to be better next time.
	Boom.
	Done.
	No, she has...
	I don't know what her problem is, but it's almost like she's obsessed.
	And this is going to get worse.
	She's going to be on more and more stuff.
	Let's listen to clip three.
	You also write about the role of gender.
	The fact that women are treated differently in politics, held to a higher standard.
	You quote your friend Sheryl Sandberg, talking about how women, the more successful they are, the less they are liked.
	People all the time say, oh, if you only knew Hillary Clinton the way I know Hillary Clinton.
	Well, it's really hard to get to know me or any candidate.
	And I would be asked questions like, well, why are you really running for president?
	I didn't hear Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz or Bernie Sanders ask that question as though there was something hidden or so unusual about a woman stepping forward and saying, you know, I think I could be a good president.
	I hope you'll support me.
	So I do believe, and in this chapter called On Being a Woman in Politics, that we have to come to grips with the endemic sexism and misogyny.
	Of course, it's not just in politics.
	It's in business.
	We've seen a lot of that coming out of Silicon Valley.
	And it's in the media.
	It's in culture.
	We know that.
	Yes, it's everywhere.
	And she goes on and moans and groans and moans and groans.
	And my last clip is part of this discussion because there's some tidbits in here that need to be explored a little bit.
	It's a very short clip and it's her talking about all these women that are in Congress being abused.
	Sexist ways.
	You know, Elizabeth Warren told to, you know, sit down and basically shut up.
	Don't persist.
	Kamala Harris being attacked.
	Kirsten Gillibrand talks about being manhandled by fellow members of Congress in the gym.
	You know, I want to blow this up so that people have to confront it.
	And then maybe whoever comes next won't have to face it as much.
	Alright, let's go and let's deconstruct these lies.
	I don't know about the manhandling.
	She probably fell down and somebody picked her up.
	Yeah, don't touch me!
	Manhandling.
	We don't know exactly what that is.
	No, we don't.
	So that's just whatever it is.
	But we saw the Elizabeth Warren thing.
	We actually had it.
	I think we had a clip of it.
	She's on the floor yakking about something, and she's condemning.
	She's violating the rules of the Senate by condemning one of the senators, which you cannot do.
	She was told to stop.
	That's right.
	Told to shut up.
	And to shut up because it's what she has to do.
	A guy would have been told the same thing.
	So that had nothing to do with her gender.
	It's rewriting history.
	That's what it is.
	Kamala Harris, same thing.
	She's up there yakking about stuff in one of the committees and she was, you know, shut down because she was just going off the deep end about stuff and she ran overtime.
	I mean, give me a break.
	This is nonsense.
	Hillary is making, she's trying to create problems.
	She is not, at the beginning of this whole thing of this clippage, She says, oh, I'm a uniter.
	I'm a this.
	I bring people together.
	No, she's not.
	She's a divisive, horrible person.
	Probably a reptile.
	Has no sense of humor.
	Probably a reptile.
	Well, that's true.
	And she doesn't sweat.
	Last passage from her book.
	I have one more passage from her book.
	Okay.
	On November 9th, it was cold and raining in New York City.
	Crowds on the sidewalks turned to face my car as we drove past.
	Some people were crying.
	Some raised their hands or fists in solidarity.
	There were little kids held aloft by their parents, screaming, Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton! - Oh, brother.
	Yeah, your echo, you turn it off.
	Yeah, it's off.
	Come on.
	Come on, come on.
	You're about a long way, a long road.
	Anyway, it's fun to see all the attention she's given.
	I will have finished the book by Thursday's show, if there's anything else interesting.
	She'll be on show after show after show.
	It's just unbelievable.
	I mean...
	She had this publicist during the election.
	She would have won, you're right.
	But she didn't have this message, you know, I'm a big loser, I got gypped.
	But she tried that, but it didn't work very well.
	She tried it, it got gypped.
	All right.
	There's a lot of things.
	You know, if you really wanted to start deconstructing, somebody's going to have to come up with some really good books about how Hillary could have won, including maybe divorcing Bill right in the middle of the campaign.
	Or killing him off.
	That was always our idea.
	Well, yeah.
	That was always the theory of the show.
	Yeah.
	It was a good theory.
	It looks like they were trying to.
	It was a great theory.
	But the problem with it...
	Well, I don't think the theory is a wrong theory.
	But they kept...
	Unlike...
	In previous campaigns, they kept her at the top too long.
	25% ahead.
	She's going to kick his ass.
	No problem.
	And her being so irked, a lot of it has to do with the fact that she was told over and over and over that she was a shoo-in.
	That's why she didn't have to go to Wisconsin and white rather waste of time.
	And then she lost.
	Yes.
	And now she's back to remind us that she lost, and I'm not quite sure what her point is or where it's going, but she's a part of some cabal doing something.
	Or maybe it's just purely for herself.
	It's possible.
	Maybe sell a few more books.
	Maybe she thinks this message is a positive message to her supporters.
	I have no idea.
	Before we head towards the B block, I wanted to play one thing that shows once again this show and its producers are from the future.
	As the word boobs has been in our lexicon for a couple of months now, ever since the first boob donation.
	Really?
	How long has it been, do you think?
	How long have we been celebrating the boobs?
	I think at least six months or more.
	Maybe a year.
	And that is $80.08.
	It could also be $8,008.
	We would accept that.
	Those are the big white boobs.
	Yeah.
	Racist right off the bat.
	I'm so proud of you.
	Racist?
	You said white boobs.
	I said wide.
	Oh, wide.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, big, big wide boobs.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, don't hold your breath for that donation.
	Now, you may have seen this clip, but I wanted to play it just for historical record, so we have it in the show.
	This is Brooke Baldwin from CNN. Brooke Baldwin.
	I meant to get this clip.
	I'm sure you've seen it.
	I tightened it up significantly because there was a lot of boring stuff.
	It's a great clip.
	It is a good clip.
	So we have one guy who is the personal friend, former writer for ESPN, personal friend of Janil, who did not get fired over her calling the president a white nationalist.
	And then there's Clay Travis, who I didn't...
	He's a sports guy.
	I don't know much about him.
	He's got one of those radio shows.
	Yeah, he's got a radio show, and apparently he talks about, he says something on the show consistently, which Brooke should have known if she has this guy on a guest, but, you know, she didn't.
	Well, somebody should have briefed her.
	Well, yes.
	Then he's from the Fox.
	It's one of his, it's a catchphrase for him.
	Yes, a catchphrase, exactly.
	So he brings up the catchphrase, which is really a good one, because it's...
	It shows the power of the First Amendment, and this goes completely, it goes over the heads of Brooke and her buddy here, and it's just worth playing, because I thought it to be one of the best troll exercises of CNN ever.
	To you first, you know, of all the different columnists or even magazines in the wake of Charlottesville specifically that have called out the president as racist, why do you think he really took this particular target on ESPN and Jamel?
	Well, I think because ESPN is not in the business of commenting randomly on political related issues.
	If you look at their history, they established about 18 months ago that they don't believe their people should be involved in non-sports related political controversies.
	They suspended and then fired Curt Schilling for saying that he disagreed with the North Carolina transgender bathroom bill.
	And that had absolutely nothing to do with sports.
	And they said, look, you can't have this opinion.
	It's too conservative.
	We're not going to allow it.
	I think that's a bad move.
	I'm a First Amendment absolutist.
	I believe in only two things completely.
	The First Amendment and boobs.
	And so once they made the...
	Now, what was great about this, and it's in the show notes, is the look...
	And he just keeps talking for a good minute.
	I shortened this all up.
	Brooke and her guests, their mouths literally drop open like, what?
	Did you just say?
	And her head is cocking back and forth like, did I hear that right?
	Her head is cocking, her mouth is twitching.
	Decision that they were not going to allow a conservative non-sports related commentary.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	I just want to make sure I heard you correctly as a woman.
	As a woman.
	As a woman.
	Right away.
	As a woman.
	As a woman.
	I heard you correctly as a woman anchoring the show.
	Did you say...
	What did you say?
	As a woman anchoring the show.
	You've got to hear all the subtleties she's putting in there.
	As a woman anchoring the show, you said the word boobs.
	Like, women don't say boobs all the time.
	I don't like it.
	And the thing that got my attention the most is she can't say the word.
	No, she can only spell it.
	She can't say boobs.
	I thought that was like, what are you doing?
	You're spelling it?
	And women talk about their boobies, which I really despise that word.
	I hate it.
	I don't know why it rubs me in my boobies.
	You know what?
	When you say it like that, they're not sexual to me, you boobies.
	They're like, you know, play school stuff.
	I don't know.
	Okay, okay.
	There's a woman anchoring the show.
	Did you say, what did you say?
	You believe in the First Amendment and BWOBS? BWOBS? Two things that have only never let me down in this entire country's history.
	The First Amendment and boobs.
	See, she can't understand.
	And he even says it that he says it on his radio show all the time in a minute.
	She can't understand it.
	Those are the only two things I believe in absolutely in the country.
	They've made bad decisions that have led to ratings collapsing.
	Jamel Hill's television show is collapsing.
	Ratings were down 20% last week.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Keith?
	Keith?
	What do you think?
	Listen, I'm astonished at almost everything I just heard.
	So for somebody to come on CNN and to say something like, the only thing I believe in, in a discussion about something...
	I'm still there too, and I just want to make sure I'm hearing you correctly.
	B-O-O-Z-E or B-O-O-B-S? She thinks she might be saying booze, because that would be acceptable, of course.
	You know, hey, I like drinking, that's okay.
	I like a piece of the female anatomy.
	Wrong.
	Because as a woman, I'm...
	As in boobs.
	I believe completely in the First Amendment and in boobs.
	Those are the only two things I believe 100% in in this country.
	And by the way, Jamel has absolutely nothing to do with the background at all.
	Did you notice that?
	He went straight to that.
	Yeah, you're absolutely right.
	Guys, why would you even say that live on national television and with a female host?
	I say it live on the radio all the time because it's true and that's what I do because I like boobs and the First Amendment, which is exactly what I said.
	Listen, Brooke, I think that speaks for itself.
	I love the First Amendment as well.
	I also love women.
	You don't love boobs?
	You don't like boobs?
	I'm not going to talk about that on television because it's irrelevant to the topic.
	It shouldn't be brought up here.
	Why not?
	I am a supporter of women in their careers.
	I'm a supporter and a staunch supporter of women like Brooke, who I've shared the airwaves with before, and like Jamel, who is a personal friend of mine for a long time.
	I'm down.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm done.
	Anatomy brought up?
	To have anyone's anatomy brought up?
	I'm done.
	This is done.
	This is conversation over yanking mics.
	Yanking mics.
	Bye.
	I'm yanking mics.
	Goodbye.
	That was entirely inappropriate, and it just took me...
	Forgive me that it took me a second.
	It's like live television happens to me.
	I think you hear something, but you're not entirely...
	What?
	The guy should have said, I got something else you can yank.
	It took me a second.
	It's like live television happens and you think you hear something, but you're not entirely sure.
	And then you realize it happened.
	Oh, it happened.
	So I apologize.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I mean, this is just real.
	That was one of the best pieces of television I've seen the past week.
	I was very happy with this.
	It just made me chuckle.
	That's a jerk.
	But the whole point of him saying, hey, I love the First Amendment, which gives me the right to say whatever I want, boobs.
	She could have handled this.
	I think that was unprofessional the way she handled it.
	If she wanted to handle it correctly, she could have called the guy and said, well, you know, I think that's great.
	You like boobs.
	What's that got to do with anything?
	Yeah.
	Anybody that was a decent host that knew how to handle these sorts of interruptions would have said something like that.
	Boobs is beside the point.
	Let's get back to the topic.
	Or you could do something like a comic does.
	You put him down for saying boobs.
	I mean, there's different kinds of lines, but no, to get all BS. What it shows to me is how controlled the messaging is on, in this case, CNN. We know why we're there.
	Everyone's had their pre-conversation, their pre-interview.
	Here's what we expect you to say.
	We've been over this.
	They've done this to you every single time when you appeared on CNBC or any other channel.
	They always say, here's what you're going to talk about.
	Yeah, why don't you talk about that?
	Yeah, you're not going to talk about that.
	And that's why it's so boring, is because there's never anything surprising.
	There's no serendipity, and then something happens, and she's triggered.
	That was a triggering.
	That was fun to watch.
	It's fun to watch someone getting truly triggered.
	But it shows how incredibly unprepared, you're right, unprofessional, unprepared they are to handle anything.
	Yeah, it's all scripted.
	Correct.
	Well, a lot of it is scripted.
	It's on the prompter.
	Yeah, it was pathetic.
	I thought that was a pathetic exercise.
	And I lost...
	She was...
	She's just not...
	She's not good.
	No.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. U.S.E. stands for Clinton Book Buyer of the Future, Dvorak.
	In the morning to Adam Curry, you...
	And also in the morning, all ships to sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names of nights out there.
	And in the morning, too, the chat room.
	I've already kicked two people out.
	I'm doing well.
	Yay!
	Yes, noagendastream.com.
	You can follow along when we do it live every single Thursday and Sunday morning.
	And in the morning, too, Sven Arvidsson.
	Sven Arvidsson, the creator of the artwork for episode 9 or 6-4.
	Title of that was Sixth Mass Extinction.
	And it was an evergreen piece.
	We had a hard time picking.
	Nothing was really spot on for the...
	No, there were some good ideas.
	I think this is on page 30 of the evergreens.
	I'll never be marked as used.
	And it is a beautiful piece.
	Just the all-seeing eye.
	And all kinds of symbolism that probably is mind controlling us into thinking something.
	Yes.
	If you know what I mean, John.
	And we thank all of our artists profusely for always giving us fun stuff to look at.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Upload often and enjoy your fame.
	Indeed.
	Inappropriate laughter, Shepard.
	She also does inappropriate smiling.
	Yes.
	You know, you see a lot of people do this.
	They're talking about something, and then they start talking about something, and in the middle of a sentence, they give a big grin.
	I always find that incredibly creepy.
	Bill Gates does that.
	All right, let's thank a few people for show 965.
	Starting with, this came in late.
	I'm not sure.
	I never saw this donation come in.
	Thomas for $1,000.
	And now I don't know if he's an instantite.
	There was no note.
	I couldn't find an email.
	You should check your box.
	Maybe there's one to you.
	I'm looking now.
	I see nothing.
	I know somebody sent us a donation.
	I was going to send you a note about this, but I forgot.
	Okay, well, is he being knighted?
	We're going to knight him?
	Let me see.
	I don't think I saw him on the list.
	No.
	All right.
	No, not on the list.
	No.
	Well, it's a mystery.
	So we have to wait for him to come in with a note or some information.
	He maybe thought he typed it in there and it didn't come over.
	Who knows?
	But anyway, we want to thank him for that fantastic donation.
	Yes, thank you very much.
	Yeah, Dame Kathy Samoonish in West Chicago.
	Samoonish.
	500.
	And I have to go get the note.
	Yes, I believe she is in line for a title change today.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Dame Kathy Siminich.
	I believe will be upgraded to Baroness.
	This is great.
	She's been working on this for a while.
	Very cool.
	Baroness.
	Good work.
	I can't cover much more.
	The worst cover job I've ever heard.
	You know how you spell Baron?
	Yeah, that's what I should have done.
	It's a cool word.
	I always would think it'd be two R's.
	On with the show.
	Okay, so it's a small note.
	She says, in the morning, before that, you can queue up Reverend Manning Jingle, whip him with the constitution and karma.
	So you have to queue that out so you can read the note.
	Enclosed is $500 for my Baroness status.
	Sir Greg and my anniversary is coming up in September.
	Married 33 years, so it was time to donate.
	Everyone who has an anniversary or a birthday, 500 bucks is perfect.
	I would like to be the Baroness of the Fox River Valley, and I'd like my favorite Reverend Manning jingle, Whipping with the Constitution.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Thank you, and I look forward to bestowing that new title upon you later on.
	Congratulations, and our thanks is great.
	Get out there!
	Whooping, whooping, whooping!
	Whooping, whooping, whooping!
	Whooping with the Constitution!
	You've got karma.
	And then we move on to Dave Duncan, who comes in with 33333.
	And he says, Dave Duncan here.
	I'm the double D called out last Thursday by my friend Mike Scalora.
	Ah, that's Sir Mike Knight of the Gigaverse to you.
	Thanks for keeping me sane during the three years of law school and a few years of prepping for it before that.
	And thanks to Sir Mike, Knight of the Jigiverse, for hitting me in the mouth five years ago in celebration of my first paycheck as an associate at my law firm just deposited yesterday.
	Here's my first non-anonymous donation of 33333, that's 11111, for each year of law school.
	Thank you.
	Please de-douche me and play my all-time favorite clip, Resist We Much.
	Some karma for all would be nice as well.
	Thank you for the best podcast in the Jigaverse.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	You've been deduced.
	You've got karma.
	Then Stephen Wolfe in Kirkland, Washington.
	Home of the Kirkland brand.
	What's that?
	The Kirkland what?
	Kirkland brand.
	You see, you don't shop at Costco.
	No, I do not.
	Yeah, the house brand is called Kirkland.
	And it's just kind of an old 50s looking.
	It looks like crap.
	It's not even well thought out.
	But it's a little logo.
	So they'll brand some wines.
	They like to do wines.
	And so they bring in some Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
	And instead of making it look like kind of a cool bottle, they...
	Which might have been originally, whatever brand it was of the wine.
	They put Kirkland on the label.
	Oh, thanks for coming over for dinner with me again.
	Dropping off a bottle of Kirkland.
	I'm sorry.
	Okay.
	Off track there.
	Dedicate my donation to my son-in-law, Master Sergeant Julio Santos.
	I've...
	Solve the trans pronoun problem.
	For X, Y to girl, he, she.
	For X, X to boy, she, he.
	We must include the androgynous.
	X, Y to androgynous, he, it.
	For X, X to androgynous, she, it.
	She, it.
	Get it?
	Yes.
	She, it.
	She, it.
	So, long way for that one, too.
	So, you want to say dedouching, a goat scream, and Obama, if, if, if.
	I can't find the if, if, if.
	It's not named.
	Yeah, I know, but I don't know which one it is.
	We didn't call it if, if, if, if, if.
	Well, here's another thing he wants to know.
	Special request.
	Who is the karma voice?
	Absolutely the sexiest voice on the web.
	Do we remember who did that?
	No, I don't.
	That's what I told him in a note.
	It's so long.
	Let me do his dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	I don't think this is...
	It's psychosis.
	It'll just have to do.
	It's good enough.
	I think it's what he wanted.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, we have a whole jingle.
	But I don't remember what it's talking about.
	Yeah, I can't find it.
	Dawaz El Duaj.
	I'm guessing he's in Kuwait.
	29650.
	He'll be the first associate executive producer for today's show, 965.
	Hi from 965 Country Code, Kuwait!
	Oh!
	I didn't know that.
	That's a good one.
	If we only knew, because we probably have three guys in Kuwait.
	Maybe.
	The hopefully successful intermediary nation, esoterically known as Planet Kaitan from the Dune novel.
	No Agendas is excellent activist infotainment podcast.
	Ha!
	We're an activist infotainment podcast.
	Nice.
	I like it.
	I think we should call ourselves that.
	But you need to say, hi, I'm Adam.
	What do you do?
	Oh, I'm an activist infotainment podcaster.
	Boom.
	You're going to bed with that girl.
	All in.
	All right.
	She once, or she once, he was, once dedouched the whole Muslim world from foreign invasion.
	Good idea.
	You've been dedouched.
	Shit.
	That is not ants on the mic.
	Uh, yeah, Nussbaum.
	News Bomb! It's a Nuss Bomb. News Bomb! Nuss Bomb! News Bomb!
	Work for...
	We are getting more elaborate with that one, which is great because he's heading up the ladder.
	The show has meant so much to me.
	This is Sir Thomas Nussbaum in Virginia Beach, Virginia 235.
	He puts his picture up constantly on Twitter.
	The show has meant so much to me and has so centered me in this wonky alt-left, alt-right world.
	Boom!
	Hey, you're saying boom a lot.
	I just want to point it out.
	Have I said it more than once?
	Yes!
	Okay, I have one more boom to come.
	Okay.
	Because I'm looking at my list of boom allocation.
	Wait, what is your boom allocation allotment is only three a show?
	You have one left.
	I didn't do any in the last show.
	I thought it was carried over like minutes on certain phone plans.
	Like T-Mobile.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Becoming Archduke, I lay claim to my previous holdings of the seven cities of Hampton Roads, Virginia, the Hampton Roads area, which is where if you were there in the Civil War, from that perspective on Hampton Roads, you would have seen the Monitor Merrimack Battle.
	Yes, that would have been great.
	And you would be dead now.
	We couldn't do a show.
	And a 50 nautical mile circle around all United States Navy installations worldwide.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	He's got a lot of traveling to do.
	Love you both.
	Becoming...
	Love you both, that's right.
	We love him too.
	I'm going to give him some karma because he is...
	And we'll be titled later.
	You've got karma.
	As the Archduke!
	Moving on up.
	Yes, thank you very much, Sir Thomas.
	Stephen Oker in Pennsylvania somewhere.
	$208.13.
	And he...
	Greetings, John and Adam.
	Excellent work lately.
	I've especially enjoyed watching the weather reports evolve over the last few episodes.
	Been donating on, I don't know if he's talking about my weather reports or the hurricane reports.
	We only have one today.
	Been donated, which is Jose, which is crapped out.
	Been donating on a monthly plan for some time, but snagging my third executive producership, associate executive producership, to push me into knighthood before I arrive in Austin, Texas next week.
	All right.
	I'll be moving in with you, Adam.
	Currently on the road from Jersey City, the missus and I are relocating for her job.
	Hey, Jersey is always welcome in Austin.
	Hit me up!
	I couldn't imagine arriving in Adam's current home base not as a knight after listening to the last eight years.
	Yes, he has read the rule book.
	All that said, can I humbly request that Ketamine and kombucha be served at the round table.
	I've made it so.
	Also, please send all the jobs, Karma, as I can or as I will be without full-time employment post-relocation.
	He's sacrificed for his wife.
	For his woman, yes.
	That's a real man right there.
	There you go.
	He will be hustling freelance photography.
	There's a lot of freelance photographers here.
	Yes, don't come to the Bay Area either.
	Yeah.
	Hustling freelance photography in a new city.
	Finally, I'll take the moniker Sir Rutherford the Brave, which is a Phish reference.
	Yes.
	The band Phish.
	Phish.
	Assuming it is not already taken.
	I don't think so.
	I don't think so either.
	Keep up the good work.
	Sincerely, Stephen, currently of RT81 in PA. Route 81.
	Route 81, yes.
	Route 81.
	Okay, that's what he's...
	Well, Stephen, thank you very much, and you shall indeed be knighted later on today, and I have lined up ketamine and kombucha for you at the roundtable.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	And next on our laundry list, we have, if I can get back to the right screen...
	You know, the thing about Windows...
	I'm going to gripe.
	Windows 7 and 10, especially on this particular screen, which is huge, the arrow is a little bitty thing.
	And you used to be able to make the arrow as big as you wanted.
	You can make it huge.
	You can make it fist-sized.
	And it would make it very handy in this situation.
	But instead, you can't.
	So it's diminutive.
	That's why I'm always bitching about it.
	Taylor Norrish comes in with $202, and I do not know.
	Let me do a search.
	Is it N-O-R-I-S-H? Yes.
	Double R, sorry.
	Double R. Let me see.
	I might have something.
	I don't think so.
	Yeah, take a look.
	Nope, I got nothing.
	N-O-R-R-I-S-H? Taylor Norrish.
	Yeah, I got nothing.
	I got nothing.
	Damn, I hate it when that happens.
	Well, the next one on the list, it says Brian Hawley, but I'm pretty sure, because it says Adam has notes, I'm pretty sure it's Brian Hoy.
	Maybe that was an autocorrect?
	Well, let's give Taylor Norrish some karma.
	You got it, no problem.
	You've got karma.
	Thank you for the $202.
	Tell us, let us know.
	Yes, please resend the note.
	Brian Holley, I think is Brian Hoy.
	And that it's confusing would make sense because I saw this one come in.
	Sending a drunk donation is really hard.
	Yes, that's him because he did send a little note to me.
	And he says the notes goes, Adam's got the note and it's a drunk donation.
	I can't do the drunk donation.
	Sending a drunk donation is really hard when you don't remember your security questions or you change your phone number since the last time you used PayPal.
	So fuck it, I'm sending a check to John.
	I'm not sure we'll get there in time for Thursday's show.
	I just wanted to say I watched The Red Pill.
	It's fantastic.
	I will recommend it to dozens of people who are close to me.
	If you're a Noah General listener, go watch it!
	Watch it!
	I would also like to call our Dewey Robbins, Todd Kirby, Ben Christensen, Michael Scott as douchebags for not donating.
	Douchebags!
	Please, I need dedouching.
	And for jingles, I'd like, my God, for 20 cows, babies, get out of my vagina and classify.
	Thank you for my woke millennial.
	It's the drunk millennial is who you are.
	The drunk millennial.
	By the way, he is, that's a $200 donation.
	He's in weed.
	California.
	Yeah, you sure it was just a drunk donation?
	Hmm.
	Now, of course, I have to set up these clips since I was reading the note.
	Yeah, you should have...
	What?
	You should have given yourself the list of things earlier.
	Okay, self, here's your list.
	My God, for 25 years, they've been growing babies and cows!
	Get out of my vagina!
	Classify!
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	And that concludes our list of well-wishers, executive producers, and associate executive producers for show 965 as we march forward to our 10th anniversary show in October.
	Oh, man.
	I can't wait.
	Well, I can actually.
	Can't wait.
	10th anniversary.
	10th anniversary.
	Ten years.
	Ten years.
	Well, thank you very much.
	We have some good executive producers and associate executive producers today.
	We really appreciate that.
	It's how the show works.
	It's on our value-for-value model.
	Unlike the face bag, you can't go in somewhere and try and buy some ads from us.
	It's just not going to work.
	We would be demonetized everywhere anyway.
	So to keep the show on the air, we need your support.
	Penny a click.
	Penny a click.
	And we need your support for the next program, which is coming up on Thursday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Tonight, when you're watching the Emmys, remember to slip in some no-agenda stuff, propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	I'm just browsing through your clip list, which I normally don't see.
	I have a little prediction for the Emmys.
	Oh, okay.
	I think Colbert, who's hosting it, is going to overshoot.
	On the Trump hate?
	On the Trump hate, and I think it's going to cause a problem.
	Oh, God, I hope so.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I'm sure they told him not to do much, but you've seen him.
	He has this sly thing.
	He says, he told me not to do it, so I'm going to do it.
	Okay, the problem with Colbert is the following.
	This is why I agree with your thesis, but we'll see how it unpacks.
	When he was on Comedy Central, he played a character, and the character was really adorable, and he just loved the character for who he was.
	Then he got his talk show, and he was Stephen Colbert, and he sucked balls.
	No one liked him.
	It was just failing, ratings failing, and then he came up with another character.
	He was borderline getting kicked out of the air.
	And then he came up with this.
	This is a character that he plays.
	It may be closer to his true self or a version of himself.
	But that's what he's doing.
	And so he has to either play a character or really fail.
	Because he's not going to be funny if he's not playing the character.
	So he has to do the Tate Trump character.
	And that's what everybody expects.
	We have to remember he is actually a very accomplished actor.
	He does Broadway.
	on television on different roles he was never a leading man or a star but i remember him from a law and order where he played a psycho oh and it was well done he's a good actor so he i think you're i think we you know we have our theories about actors and actresses and the rest of them a lot of them have no personality and that's why you don't see a lot of them on talk shows i'm I mean, you get someone like Robert De Niro who really doesn't have much of a personality.
	And you don't see him on these guys.
	Or a woman comes on a talk show and she's just a dummy.
	But she's a good actress and you'll never see her again because she doesn't perform.
	She can't be her.
	There's nobody there.
	There's no there there.
	And I think you're right about Goldberg.
	You said there's no there there.
	Would you stop that?
	There's nobody there.
	I thought you said there's no there there.
	There's no buddy there.
	All right.
	What's disappointing to me in regards to award shows is that I do not see any clips from you for the most recent beauty pageant, which was highly political.
	That's because I had too many clips, and I decided, and I didn't pre-announce it, but I'm announcing it now, since you forced my hand.
	I'm announcing it now.
	I am doing the Miss America show deconstruction.
	This will be my last one.
	I'm retiring after this.
	What?!
	Yes, and this will be my last one, and it's going to be next show on Thursday, so I don't know.
	I mean, it was one of the worst.
	It definitely, the women were not, I mean, they were pretty.
	They were pretty.
	Say it.
	They were chunky.
	Chunky.
	The women were chunky, but they were all pretty.
	Yeah.
	They were pretty chunky.
	Is that what you're saying?
	They were pretty chunky?
	And then at the end, they had a very strange lineup of the five finalists.
	One of them was a dead ringer for Michelle Obama.
	Huge black woman.
	Tall.
	She towered over everybody.
	She's a big basketball player.
	And she got, you saw that, this was like a kind of token, but most of the people that were finalists were ethnics.
	And the final winner, I think they picked the wrong girl, but okay, we can live with it.
	But when you hear, I'm going to make a short clip, I'm going to not even have the question and answers, I'm just going to rack the questions up.
	They're all super anti-Trump political questions.
	Unbelievable.
	Worst show ever.
	Worst show ever.
	Can't wait.
	Can't wait.
	We highlight bad things here, so that's very good.
	Something happened over the weekend.
	Something happened over the weekend.
	I've got a background here, but what really went down is pretty interesting.
	In Iceland, where the government has fallen.
	Iceland's government, only formed in January, has been thrown into disarray after one of the three ruling coalition parties quit.
	It follows the alleged cover-up by Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson of a scandal involving his father.
	Autopropper's bright future party announced it was terminating cooperation with the government over what it called a serious breach of trust.
	It's claimed Benediktsson's father, Benedikt Svensson, wrote a letter to help clear the criminal record of a man convicted of child sexual offences.
	Sveinsson's letter recommended that his friend Hjalti Sigurjon Hoxson should have his honour restored despite serving five years for raping a young girl.
	The Justice Minister Sigurjon Andersson of the Independence Party told Benediktsson about the letter in July, but the government did not publicly disclose its existence until forced to do so by a parliamentary committee this week.
	The development could mean Iceland's second election in less than a year.
	It makes Bjorni Benediktsson's future very uncertain.
	So the backstory to this is pretty fascinating.
	This is a relatively new government.
	You know, Iceland kicked out all the bankers and they really reformed their country, they thought.
	Have you ever been to Iceland?
	No, you have, I think, right?
	Yeah.
	I don't know how you can do anything in Iceland without everybody knowing about it.
	Well, that makes it even more scary.
	Thinking the problem is more rife.
	So there's this pedophile and he had been convicted and served five years and I believe the rule in Iceland is after five years you can receive parole if two upstanding, minimally two upstanding members of society vouch for you.
	And so he got the vouching letters and he was freed.
	And there's been some suspicion about pedophilia and weird things going on with rich elites in Iceland for a while.
	Everywhere else in the world.
	Everywhere else in the world.
	Except this time it turns out that the prime minister's dad, one of the richest men in Iceland, was one of the letter writers.
	And so I guess people knew about it.
	Like you say, people know stuff.
	And then they had their version of a freedom of information request.
	And it turns out that he was one of the people.
	And now everybody's going crazy because they're finding out that there may be more.
	It could be a big ring.
	It could be in upper echelons of government.
	People are freaking out.
	And Iceland, how many people live in Iceland?
	A couple million?
	When I was there, it was $250,000, which wasn't that long ago.
	I think it was about $375,000.
	That's much less than I thought it was.
	Let's consult the book of knowledge for a moment.
	You're right, $334,252.
	Of course everybody knows everybody's business.
	It's a pedo island!
	Pedo Island.
	Crazy.
	Yeah, they love that.
	Don't take that Icelandic air and stop in Reykjavik where they beat you up.
	They know I'm just kidding.
	Come on, everybody gets that.
	Pedo Island.
	Pedoland.
	Iceland.
	I don't know.
	I don't know which one is worse.
	I forgot to tell you one thing because it's something just about Hillary's book for one second.
	In her book, she compares herself to the Game of Thrones character.
	The blonde with the dragon?
	Yes.
	Oh, please.
	Yes.
	Yes, that's what's crazy.
	She compared herself, whereas if anybody knows that that was the...
	And I haven't seen the show, and I know that she's the evil woman who had to walk naked.
	Everyone called shame.
	So there's something very wrong with either her interpretation of the world?
	I think there's something very wrong when Hillary goes and does all these complaining, but she's got time to watch Game of Thrones.
	She's obviously addicted to it.
	Nobody brings that up as a reference unless they know they're addicted to the show.
	If she had actually watched the show, maybe she would have made that comparison.
	I don't think she watches the show, actually.
	I think she does, and I think the comparison is apt.
	She thinks of herself as someone with a big dragon behind her.
	It's Bill, dragon breath.
	Maybe you know about this SB 219.
	This is a new bill in California.
	What's it about?
	It's the bill to punish nurses who don't use proper trans pronouns.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Didn't we play a clip about that recently?
	I think a couple of shows ago or what?
	Yeah, but it passed.
	Yeah, I'm wondering about that.
	It just seems like it's, well, of course, California has a lot of crazy stuff that goes on.
	In fact, I know you mentioned bills.
	It's possible that it's going to be actually in play and people are going to sue hospitals or not getting the wrong pronoun.
	But let's listen to, I have a clip of Crazy California Bills Part 1.
	And new tonight, a closer look at some controversial bills headed to Governor Brown's desk.
	State lawmakers worked into the early morning hours yesterday to pass several bills.
	They included a sweeping package aimed at addressing the state's housing crisis.
	is expected to raise billions to finance construction of new homes for low-income residents.
	Two other bills are far more political in nature.
	They would impact the 2020 presidential election.
	The first one could put our state front and center during the presidential primary.
	Senate Bill 568 would move our primary up three months for the 2020 election, from June to the Tuesday after the first Monday in March.
	Likely putting...
	Wait, that must be some political reason for that.
	There's a better reason than political.
	What is it, though?
	What is the reason for it?
	Advertising.
	Ah!
	Election.
	The first one could put our state front and center during the presidential primary.
	Senate Bill 568 would move our primary up three months for the 2020 election, from June to the Tuesday after the first Monday in March, likely putting California in the Super Tuesday category with about a dozen other states.
	The candidates themselves could face the biggest hurdle.
	They're now forced to raise even more money to not just run, but try and stay relevant in the nation's most populous state.
	You could get more bang for your buck, and you're going to have a strategy to get that nomination if you're going to run for president of how you're going to get to that delegate count in order to get the nomination.
	And I don't know if you necessarily need California to do that.
	Governor Jerry Brown has not clarified his position on this legislation.
	He has until October 15th to act on the bill.
	Another bill passing last night takes aim at presidential candidates' tax returns.
	The bill would require presidential candidates to release their last five tax returns in order for their name to appear on this state's ballot.
	Those returns would be printed online.
	If Governor Brown signs the bill, it would take effect for the 2020 presidential race, but he hasn't indicated whether or not he's going to sign that bill.
	Good catch on the advertising bill.
	They even said it right there.
	You can get your strategy.
	You can raise more money.
	You can get everything all set up.
	You got more time to do it.
	You can spread your flight.
	Your ad buy.
	It's all about advertising.
	It's pathetic.
	It's corrupting the country.
	And there's no reason for California to move the date.
	But okay, we'll do it in March or Super Tuesday so these outlets can get their advertising together.
	Hey, where are the president's tax returns?
	Where'd those go?
	Yeah, he's not going to show me.
	But now, I guarantee this one's going to go through.
	And I don't think they're going to be able...
	They may get an injunction against it, because Trump is going to run in 2020.
	But if Trump runs in 2020 to get on the California ballot, which he's going to need...
	Well, actually, I guess if he just threw California down the drain, it wouldn't make any difference to him because he wins an electoral college.
	He's not going to get California anyway.
	But I think he should say, screw you!
	I'm not giving, printing five years worth of tax returns on the interwebs.
	And just not be on the ballot in California.
	That would be dynamite.
	We don't need you.
	Who cares?
	That would be funny.
	That would be actually very funny to spend zero money.
	Yeah, it's been nothing.
	Yeah.
	He's a low-budget guy.
	So let's play the second group.
	I got a second group of these.
	Now, what Bill Governor Brown is expected to sign is one that would make California a sanctuary state.
	The California Values Act is the most far-reaching of its kind in the country.
	It would forbid state and local law enforcement agencies from coordinating with federal immigration authorities.
	It would also prohibit officers from questioning and holding people on immigration violations.
	It sends a very clear message to the Trump administration that in California we value inclusivity, we value diversity.
	It's a horrible piece of public safety legislation and, you know, all for what?
	Just to kind of stick their thumb in the president's eye and draw a line in the sand.
	But they're doing so at the expense of public safety.
	Now again, the governor is expected to sign the bill, but concessions were made to earn his support.
	The bill expands the list of crimes that can give local law enforcement the power to turn over undocumented criminals to immigration officials.
	That list includes about 800 different crimes.
	California lawmakers also approved the bill to reform the sex offender registry.
	The bill creates a tiered registry with high-risk offenders on the registry for life and others able to petition to be removed after either 10 or 20 years without reoffending, of course.
	Lawmakers say the bill will help law enforcement better monitor the violent sex offenders.
	The bill now moves to the governor's desk.
	You must love living there.
	So the guy, so if you peed in the park and got busted for peeing in the park as a sex offender, which happens, you can petition in a decade or two to get off the list.
	Nice.
	That's great living there.
	Enjoy it.
	It's like living in a nuthouse.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The weather's nice.
	The weather's beautiful here, too.
	It's been fantastic.
	So nice here in Texas this time of year.
	So this is why we live here.
	Yeah, and then you're good there because you have a short attention span.
	What does that mean?
	Well, I mean, one minute.
	Oh, my God.
	The black mold.
	I'm dying here.
	Oh, oak pollen.
	I'm dying and I'm dying.
	It's the worst place to live ever.
	Oh, it's beautiful here.
	It's fantastic.
	I can't imagine living anyplace else.
	That's exactly what you need to have to live there, which is that you forget.
	You easily forget about the black mold.
	Taylor Swift is still in the news.
	Why?
	Because we identify the trends early and we hit them hard.
	It's like picking hits.
	I'm doing the same stuff I've done since I was 19.
	I'm picking hits.
	Actually, you are.
	It's funny.
	I'm picking hits.
	That's all we do.
	Here is NPR. This is on the media, so it's logical that they do this.
	I bumped into the former New York banker and his wife on Friday.
	And she says, oh, I've got to tell you, we laughed so hard about your political deconstruction of Taylor Swift.
	I said, really?
	It was so spot on.
	I had no idea this was going on.
	And so apparently they listen when they're cooking dinner.
	And so I thought I'd bring them a little more entertainment, only this time brought to you by the M5M. And so on the media brought on, I guess he's the music correspondent or entertainment correspondent.
	Super gay guy.
	Perfect to talk about Taylor Swift and all of her problems.
	The political climate has really intensified since you first reported this Taylor Swift-white supremacist conjunction.
	First there was the Pulse nightclub shooting, and then the election of Donald Trump, and the rise of the alt-right.
	Oh, Taylor Swift's fault.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah.
	This is, again, this is being popular while white is an offense in the United States.
	And not saying anything means you are for the evil.
	Charlottesville.
	Around Pulse, I thought it was strange that Taylor Swift wasn't saying anything because all these other celebrities were, so I emailed her representative and I said, we're writing an article about this, do you have comment?
	And then right before our article went up, she finally said something.
	It was just crazy, because all the other celebrities, they had already done it really early on, like the way you're supposed to.
	She waited until the last moment, so I think that she was, like, the representatives were telling, she didn't want to do that, she didn't want to defend her base, which is really bad.
	The handwritten note she wrote a couple of days after the Pulse nightclub shooting read, as you bury your loved ones this week, please know that there are millions of us sending you love and our deepest sympathy in the face of this unthinkable and devastating tragedy.
	Some people wouldn't cut her slack for the delay, I guess.
	I think it was because since Lady Gaga did the fame monster...
	And I mean, Lady Gaga, really, she's much more politically aware than Taylor Swift.
	She's just not woke at all.
	It's because since Lady Gaga did the fame monster, which was her second album in 2009, she started calling her fans little monsters.
	And since then, there's Rihanna's Navy, which Rihanna calls her fans the Navy.
	John, we need a fan name.
	Slaves.
	We already have one.
	The beehive is Beyonce's, and then Taylor Swift has her Swifties.
	Now when something happens like this, these fan groups mobilize and demand public statements.
	You did not see this before Twitter.
	And since Charlottesville, people have asked her two things.
	One, they've asked her to denounce Nazis.
	Denounce Nazis!
	Wouldn't be controversial to denounce Nazis.
	No, but she didn't do it fast enough.
	And then the other thing is to denounce Trump.
	Trump!
	If you don't denounce Trump, you're part of it.
	Even most mainstream conservatives want nothing to do with Nazis.
	If she comes out and denounces Trump to take you back to CPAC and the Republican National Convention where it heard, shake it off everywhere...
	She would have that audience upset.
	And if you look at where the 1989 tour played, it mostly played in big arenas in the South and in suburbs, which are areas that Trump won.
	So I think those numbers would play into it.
	Well, I think on the way out, you should grab a little bit of a life.
	You're talking about this too much!
	It didn't stop because...
	Can I interrupt this for one second?
	Come on, you're enjoying it.
	I'm not enjoying it.
	I find that these types of...
	They're all through broadcasting.
	They're on the TV. They're on that show.
	I can't imagine why that's the best they can do is this guy who can't...
	His English is crap.
	He speaks with an affectation that's completely out of control and it's almost, I think, most gays would find it ridiculous.
	He sounds like a flamer.
	I find it offensive.
	But that's the kind of entertainment reporting you've got.
	This guy is offending me.
	But that's the kind of entertainment reporting you've got to die.
	Yeah.
	The thing that bothers me the most is, but all the social justice warrior stuff, is cultural appropriation.
	That is what pisses me off the most.
	Wait, before you go into that, let me finish with this other guy.
	Well, the gay guy comes back.
	That's why I'm leading into another gay guy segment.
	Ugh.
	Well, let me just say one thing about the gay guy that just spoke.
	Why does Taylor Swift, who made him, this guy, this idiot, who made him the gatekeeper of good taste, that Taylor has to do this, and Taylor has to do that, and she should do this, and she shouldn't do this, and do it on Taylor.
	Did somebody annoy him?
	No, no, no.
	That is exactly what the kids are talking about.
	That's the whole point.
	All of them feel the same way about her.
	She didn't say something fast enough about the nightclub shooting.
	She hasn't denounced the Nazis.
	She hasn't denounced Trump.
	Therefore, she's evil.
	She's a singer.
	Why does she have to be the Secretary of State all of a sudden?
	Wouldn't that be great if she was Secretary of State?
	Now you're talking some sense.
	Hey, Kim Jong-un, shake it off.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That would be some foreign policy.
	Now, the thing that bothers me is, and this is the same with social justice warriors and the social justice movement, is this idea that you cannot appropriate culture.
	And I believe it is scientifically probably even proven that culture builds on other cultures.
	That's why we have music the way it is today.
	And, you know, Beyonce, you're an African-American, but you weren't born in Africa.
	So you're culturally appropriating African music, or you're culturally appropriating this or that.
	Everything is cultural appropriation.
	If you want to have a big mix of people, which is what the No Borders, No Nation people want, then wouldn't you also want everyone's culture to intermingle?
	I don't understand.
	Anyway, it's a problem, and it's a problem with Taylor Swift.
	Her music videos have been cited as appropriating black culture, the video for Shake It Off.
	She seems to borrow from everyone and anyone, which creates an opportunity for would-be cultural critics to pull a strand from here and there and weave whatever fabric they choose from it.
	why she's making those choices.
	However, she has a history of being accused for this and not commenting, making everyone then obsess over what is going on and why she's doing it.
	People can take whatever they like from her silence, and she's giving them the power to do that.
	So I have spoken to Republican sources, or mainstream Republicans, the kind of people who would have voted for Rubio in the primary, and they have said that they think she's a Republican because of her silence.
	Critical pieces that were written in BuzzFeed or even The New Yorker, they have taken her silence as saying that she's not supporting women and she's approving Trump.
	If you look at a lot of the pieces that are being written about pop culture, I think things have gotten really heated lately.
	So I think people want her to take a side.
	She has to take a side.
	She has a platform.
	She can't even pronounce words.
	Yes.
	I know.
	It's sad.
	It's sad.
	But that's NPR for you.
	Good work.
	I mean, there are professionals out there that are music critics.
	Perhaps a higher level than his, whatever his level is.
	It doesn't seem too high.
	They are looking for work.
	And they can enunciate.
	And they'd be fine on NPR. But no, they put this clown on instead to prove that they're open-minded?
	Or what is the point?
	Did you know what Lady Gaga's last album title was?
	I mean, apparently only this gay guy knows.
	I don't know.
	Nah, nah, nah, nah.
	I have no idea.
	Well, the social justice warriors, the antifaz, there was all kinds of stuff going on this past weekend.
	Pro-Trump rallies, anti-Trump rallies.
	I have a number of introductory clips.
	Ah, let's hit it.
	Okay, well let's see what we have.
	We can do the short ones.
	We can start with the mother of all rallies because the announcer here is Jeff Pegues.
	And I would say that it sounds like he actually managed to get that dump out of the way.
	Oh, it's my favorite guy!
	At the other end of the mall, close to the Capitol, was what was billed as the mother of all rallies.
	He does sound much more relaxed, doesn't he?
	Yeah, I think it finally took the right ex-lax.
	I have no idea.
	Support for Donald Trump.
	Show support for our country.
	Organizers say that this is a pro-Trump event and not an alt-right or white supremacist rally.
	I ain't worried about violence until it happens, and then it'll be dealt with accordingly.
	Last month in Charlottesville, Virginia, a white supremacist rally turned deadly.
	The man drove a car into counter-protesters.
	In the weeks since, U.S. officials have been bracing for the potential of more violence at large demonstrations across the country.
	Peggy Wiseman, who is from Fort Myers, Florida, says she came here to celebrate unity and diversity.
	I'm here to support the cause.
	What is the cause?
	The American way of life.
	Originally, the organizers of the Mother of All rallies expected about 20,000 people out here for this event.
	But in recent weeks, they revised those numbers down to about 5,000 today.
	It looks a lot smaller than that.
	Jeff Begay, CBS News, Washington.
	Now, everybody else, I find this interesting.
	This is a little kind of a deconstruction sidelight.
	Everybody who reported on this, except CBS, the CIA broadcasting system, reported there was about 400 people.
	Maybe 500 at the most.
	And CBS refused to do that because...
	CBS is targeted as, ah, there's a fake news!
	So they just kind of beat around the bush.
	I thought that was very professional.
	It's like, well, there's a lot less than 5,000.
	That's all I'm going to say.
	He's not going to say there's 200 people there.
	No, no.
	Because he's going to get slammed.
	Don't sound good.
	Now, there were about six things going on at the same time.
	Yes.
	And the best, I got a good clip that's kind of a backgrounder on most of them, except the mother of all rallies is at the end, and I just cut that off and made it a separate clip where they say there's about 300 people.
	But let's play this protest in D.C. backgrounder.
	It talks a lot about the juggalos.
	And a series of marches and rallies in our nation's capital today bringing all kinds of messages.
	One set of marchers gathered in song and chants carrying signs, as you can see there, calling for an end to the white supremacy movement and a push for equality.
	Local law enforcement did shut off several roads as marchers from multiple organizations gathered in D.C. Another protest featured thousands of fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse.
	They were protesting the FBI's classification of them as a gang.
	The fans are called Juggalos.
	The FBI has designated them as a hybrid gang that's committed assaults and vandalism.
	Federal authorities say the fanatic fans engage in more criminal activity.
	Protesters listen to a series of speakers and musicians and chanted family, along with obscenities directed at the government.
	Juggalos say they've been profiled, lost jobs, and even custody of their children because of the FBI's labels.
	In the end, the First Amendment ultimately protected the creative expression of the artist and the right of the fans to hear it and enjoy it, free of legal prosecution and all related staleness, because music is not a crime!
	Of all the protests this weekend, the Juggalos were the most righteous.
	They were self-righteous.
	But they were righteous.
	They were very righteous.
	You see them, they were just, and they were irked about, I guess, about the FBI. Yeah.
	But the thing is, this report goes on, and these guys are complaining that they lost child custody, and some people lost their job.
	What did they put on their job applications that would get them to lose their job?
	Juggalo?
	No.
	I'd say previous job, Juggalo?
	No, no.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	It's when they go and look at their Facebook profile or their Twitter profile.
	That's what employers do these days.
	Or go look at your Flickr feed or your Google Photos.
	There's enough out there.
	So I guess if you're a juggalo...
	Wearing the white face and whatever you do.
	And you would make a big deal of it on your Facebook page.
	And then the employer would, because he's a member of Facebook, and they were looking for evidence against you.
	They find the page, and there you were, and then they can fire you for some reason or other.
	So I'm asking the question, why would anybody in their right mind put a Facebook page up with all the gory details of your life for all to see?
	What is the point?
	Are you expecting me to answer this?
	I probably am not.
	No, because this is just asking towards the familiar road.
	I'm just asking the wind.
	Yes, you are.
	Let me see.
	Oh, this was an interesting report.
	I know you have something about the St.
	Louis protest.
	I do want to hear your clips.
	I just thought this was a fun little backgrounder from Fox.
	This is a Fox News alert.
	I'm Robert Gray in Los Angeles.
	Protesters and riot police clashing on the streets of St.
	Louis tonight, and demonstrations have turned violent.
	St.
	Louis police say that agitators have gathered outside the mayor's home.
	They've thrown rocks, breaking glass, and have vandalized the outside.
	But there's also reports two people rang the doorbell with no answer.
	I wonder if they put a paper bag on fire with dog poop in front of it.
	Okay, you get Clip of the Day, believe it or not, for that clip.
	Clip of the Day.
	What kind of reporting is this?
	They rang the doorbell without any answer!
	Man, Antifa is using some real terrorist tactics these days.
	Oh, man.
	Where'd you get that?
	That's a great report.
	One of our producers caught it, sent it to me.
	It was fantastic.
	They rang the doorbell.
	Look at those bastards.
	That's why we have the No Agenda Slaves.
	They're out there catching stuff.
	Catching clips of the day.
	That's what they do.
	Our version of whatever that is.
	The Navy.
	No Agenda Navy.
	How gay is that?
	No Agenda Navy!
	Join up!
	And we could do In the Navy as our theme song.
	In the Navy.
	Yeah.
	Alright, let's go to...
	Does you want to move to the London Bomber?
	Hold on, we've got to play our theme song, John.
	Never mind.
	Why do I even have that song, is the question.
	Yeah, that's what I was going to ask after you played it.
	We have a couple of clips on the London Bomber.
	The London Bomber thing is kind of interesting.
	Hey, I've got to ask you something.
	This thing, and I got texts from, remember Dexter, right?
	Dex.
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	Dexter the Vapor.
	Well, yeah, Dexter, the former pizza box weed dealer, who now has employees.
	The guy's got a huge enterprise, which he's given me details on how the whole industry is about to implode, because he started dealing vape as a new drug, and he does it legally now.
	But he texted me and said, holy shit, Adam.
	And he's not really a conspiracy kid.
	Is he in London?
	Yes.
	He says, this is the biggest false flag I've ever seen.
	He says, how could 28 people be injured, have burns, and just look at the video.
	Look at it.
	He says, there's no fire anywhere.
	There's no burn marks.
	There's no flash.
	He says, this cannot be true.
	Well, from all the videos I've seen, I can agree with the theory.
	Yes.
	But they played it up as though it worked.
	It was a bomb that didn't quite go off, but it kind of went off.
	It flashed enough to...
	It's sketchy.
	They can't really explain why it didn't go off.
	I mean, I think the first thing that comes to mind why it didn't go off, because it was probably designed after one of these...
	Devices they show in that magazine, the fake magazine, CIA magazine.
	Also the...
	Inspire or something like that.
	Inspire.
	There's a lot of jokes going around about the shopping bag because this is the second time a bomb has been placed.
	It was in a bucket, so it's called the bucket bomb.
	But it was in a little bag, L-I-D-L, which is like the cheapest grocery store you can get.
	They don't even unpack the boxes.
	They just have open boxes with product.
	That's the little bag.
	And so there's a lot of jokes going around now about that.
	Well, they played it as a new story, too.
	I don't know what the point is.
	They cranked up the threat level to critical.
	Yeah, which is usually what these things are done for.
	And yeah, I think it was...
	Suspicious at best.
	Well, I do have an ISO potential for the end of the show, which was taken from one of these clips.
	I don't know if I actually incorporated it in the clip, but I thought this would kind of summarize things.
	Sort of pointed down like that.
	I could see the gun, his eyes, black, you know.
	I just thought, oh my God, like, what the hell is going on?
	Was that an eyewitness?
	Yeah.
	A guy had a gun?
	Well, it was the police.
	When they cordoned off the neighborhood that the guy supposedly came from, she was one of the neighbors, and so they put her on, and she sounded like, you couldn't understand a word she says, very cockney.
	And I just got a kick out of it, because it was so funny.
	What?
	What's that doing in this report, CBS? Okay.
	So let's play the CBS version of this.
	18-year-old man was arrested today in connection with the terror bombing of a London subway train.
	The suspect was taken into custody about 70 miles southeast of London, near the port of Dover.
	The Friday morning attack injured nearly 30 people, and ISIS has claimed responsibility.
	Charlie Daggett is in line.
	Heavily armed security personnel swept into Sunbury on Thames, zeroing in on a home in connection with the subway bombing, a property registered to foster parents who've been honored for their work with children.
	Masked police ordered hundreds of residents to evacuate for their own safety.
	Yeah.
	Now, how did they catch this guy?
	I mean, he's 70 miles away, he was getting on a boat from Dover.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	First of all, they knew the guy.
	They had him in custody two weeks ago.
	Yeah, two weeks ago.
	I know that's the story, but that doesn't answer my question.
	Hmm.
	This is a guy.
	How do you catch a guy 70 miles away getting on a boat from Dover to Calais or wherever they're going?
	Here was my first thought.
	My first thought was this is a six-week cycle type of event.
	Where the intelligence services, it would be MI6, I believe in this case, would have gotten this guy, Patsy.
	They jack him up.
	They pretend to be informants.
	They say, here you go.
	Here's your little bag.
	Here's your bucket bomb.
	Go ahead.
	Set it off.
	And of course, the thing is a dud.
	It just smolders.
	It's a dud.
	A ladyfinger.
	And then they just go pick him up.
	That's what it seems like to me.
	That is the only explanation that makes any sense to me.
	Because they did have him a couple of weeks earlier, and that's when they could have talked him into doing this, or maybe they've hired him to do it.
	Maybe he's just a plant, and he maybe hates the foster home he's in, and he wants to get out.
	This is his way out.
	So they're going to grab him, try him, lock him up, and then let him go someplace under a new name, or who knows.
	That's a possibility.
	But that's the only thing that makes any sense because I don't see this guy.
	The guy sets this thing off, and I'm sure they have some pictures of him.
	But if he's smart, he'd be wearing a hat or try to avoid camera contact.
	He had all these cameras in the underground.
	And then he takes office.
	He's 70 miles away getting on a boat and they grab him.
	I don't know how you could find people out easily.
	So just some feedback we got in real time from Martin R. I don't know who he is.
	This is disgusting!
	Not everything, every terrorist attack is fake or a false flag.
	Maybe perhaps even some of you followers, Adam, actually know people affected or were involved.
	Just try not to jump to the conclusion of fake all the time.
	It's very sad.
	No, we probably don't do that all the time, you dick.
	Think.
	Use your brain.
	No, he's just an idiot.
	I don't know why you read that.
	Face bag stuff is much more interesting.
	Hopefully he'll be on the face bag soon.
	Come to our face bag group.
	We can use it.
	It's much better there.
	We can use you there.
	Thank you.
	But, yeah, it has to be something like that, because that's the only thing where all the facts line up with that.
	They don't line up with anything else, and I just say don't know how you can, otherwise it doesn't make sense that you'd catch the guys so quickly.
	I mean, unless he's like a very weird-looking guy with a tattoo on his forehead, which there are guys out there like that, and yeah, they're pretty easy to spot.
	Sure, sure.
	Yeah.
	Well, we'll see.
	But for Dexter to text me and say that, to me, was telling because he doesn't do that.
	Yeah, they're probably getting suspicious over there of some of this stuff.
	As we move into our...
	It may be part of the Brexit thing, too.
	There may be some angle there.
	Oh, God.
	I got something funny about Brexit.
	Let me play that before our block here.
	There's nothing like a former Beatle going off on Brexit.
	Ringo Starr.
	The people voted and, you know, they have to get on with it.
	Suddenly it's like, oh, well, we don't like that vote.
	And what do you mean you don't like that vote?
	You had the vote.
	This is what won.
	Let's get on with it.
	Would you have voted that way?
	I would have voted for Brexit, yeah.
	I would have voted to get out.
	But don't tell Bob Geldof.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	Good punchline.
	Yeah, he's funny, man.
	Ringo, still nutty.
	Yeah, after all these years, I want to thank a few people for show 965 beginning with James Bickhouse in Parts Unknown.
	Please accept my...
	He does need an F cancer.
	Yeah, I got it lined up for him.
	You bet.
	And...
	He says, take a moment to call and start a meetup at the great east side Seattle.
	Yes, we have to do a Seattle meetup.
	We will.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	That's not you.
	That's not you, James.
	That's the other guy.
	Yeah.
	Coming up.
	Okay.
	Let's...
	Give him a call out.
	Or that gets to the F cancer thing at the end.
	Well, I have to read it.
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, I have to read the whole thing?
	I'll read it.
	September 18th, 2014 was the day my 15-year-old daughter passed away.
	Her name was Elena and she had Ewing's sarcoma.
	Please accept my standard donation of $100 plus $9.18 to mark her angel day.
	As usual, all I want to hear is F cancer.
	Of course we understand.
	I'm sorry I didn't read that.
	I would have read it, but I didn't read it.
	That's why there's two of us.
	Alright, onward.
	Ryan McConnell's $97.
	This is actually not a bad idea.
	Since 97% of all scientists are in agreement, here's the climate change donation.
	Nice!
	That is a good idea.
	It's a very good idea.
	Paul Smith, Jacksonville, North Carolina, 8888.
	Now, the following people did boob donations, and I believe that almost all of them came from my tweet.
	Oh, what was your tweet?
	I tweeted about Brooke from CNN being an idiot, and that it reminded me of we've been on this for a long time, and we have our boob donation.
	I put a direct link.
	Oh, to the boob.
	Oh, you slick marketer, you.
	Yeah, I put it right in there in the tweet.
	And I believe that all these people donated $808 from the tweet.
	John, nice job monetizing those tweets.
	I knew it would pay off.
	Jim Watts, 8008.
	Jesse Simonin.
	Great show.
	Keep the fine work.
	8008 boobs.
	Sir Andy Kluber.
	Boob.
	Evan Black in Olath, Kansas.
	Did we have him on his birthday list?
	That's Evan Black.
	Yes, we have Evan.
	Evan Black in Olath.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Olath, Kansas.
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, he is on, because he's yellow, okay.
	He must be on there.
	Larry Hay?
	You got Larry Hay?
	And Larry Hay is the last one.
	So we have one, two, three, four, five.
	And he gives us a boob donation for being from the future.
	So yes, I believe your tweet has been monetized.
	Or, good to monetize those teats.
	Huh, even better.
	There you go.
	Thomas Handta.
	Handta.
	Frankfurt, Deutschland.
	Sir Rick in Arlington, Washington.
	And by the way, Thomas was 72-90.
	Sir Rick, 6996 in Arlington, Washington.
	Gina Brown in Providence Village, Texas, 63-78.
	Baron Mark Tanner in Whittier, California, 56-78.
	Gina was 63-78.
	Marcus, 56-78.
	Gordon Walton, double nickels on the dime for my son's knighthood.
	That's nice.
	Sir Payne in the Ass, Kevin Payne in the Ass, 52-32 in Richmond, Virginia.
	Brian Navarro in Los Angeles, California, 53-33.
	Sir Ben of Oakland, 51-33.
	Andrew Benz in St.
	Louis, Missouri, 50-05.
	Daulet Zanguzin, I'm guessing.
	Zanguzin, I'm guessing.
	Sounds right.
	In Bellevue, Washington.
	50.
	These are all $50 donors, name and location.
	Joel Darun in Savannah, Georgia.
	Thomas Wilkinson in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
	Sheila Damodaran.
	I'm pretty sure that would be the way it's pronounced.
	I believe that to be an Armenian name.
	Chris Sluwinski in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
	John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma.
	Mika Miller in Bethel, Pennsylvania.
	James Chesney in Brownston, Michigan.
	Eric Mackey, M-A-K-I, in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
	And down to the end, Donald Schwartz in Chino Hills, California.
	And Sir Jerry Wingenroth in Saugus, California.
	All $50 donors want to thank all these folks for helping us out on show 965.
	Yes, and we do this as a public service, but to continue doing it, we need this kind of support, and we always want to thank people who came in under $50.
	Lots of you are on our, that's sometimes for anonymity, lots of people are on our, lots of people's, lots of folks, lots of folks are on our, On our subscriptions.
	Actually, the $33.33 is now the most popular one, I believe, you wrote.
	Well, the $4 a week subscription is very popular.
	But the $33, I think, is just a regular monthly subscription.
	I think it still holds the record.
	It holds the record, especially on the check side.
	We get a lot of checks in the mail because we're not...
	Uncomfortable taking checks.
	We have a lot of checks in the mail, and the checks in the mail, I sort them so we can put them on the...
	It's a pain in the ass, these checks, but I love them.
	But you can clearly see that there's a huge pile of 3333s.
	Nice.
	Nice.
	Also, for those of you on the subscription plans, make sure you check it from time to time because people are again, as we near the end of the year, I think it happens, people are again getting their notes saying, the No Agenda show canceled your subscription because we hate you and don't want your money.
	That's exactly what it says.
	In not so many words.
	Pretty close.
	It's pretty odd, so check that because obviously we haven't canceled anything.
	That's just how PayPal deals with your date change or whatever.
	And thank you, everybody.
	Really appreciate it.
	Another show coming up on Thursday.
	We need your support at dvorak.org slash NA. And we can give you some karmas as requested.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	And today we have two on the list.
	Evan Black turned 37 on September 13th.
	We congratulate him.
	And Ryan McConnell says happy birthday to his whole smoking hot girlfriend, Kaylee.
	She turns 18 today.
	Happy birthday from your buddies here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	It's your birthday!
	Okay.
	Oh, we have two changes to the title change.
	Two changes in our peerage list.
	We have Duke Nussbaum, as you know, who now becomes the Archduke of the seven cities of Hampton Roads, Virginia, and the 50-mile radius around all U.S. naval bases.
	It's a mouthful, but he's worth it.
	And Dame Kathy Sminich.
	She sent me a pronunciation guide, too, and I'm still messing it up.
	She becomes the Baroness of Fox River Valley, and it'd be easier to say, Dame Cathy, Baroness of the Fox River Valley.
	We appreciate your support, as always, Dame Cathy.
	One nighting today, John, so if you can get your blade out, and then we...
	Hello?
	Yeah, I'm sorry, I had to look at this up here.
	Stephen Olker, step on up.
	My friend, you are about to become a knight of the No Agenda Roundtable because you have supported us.

	Ginger ale and gerbils.
	Bong hits and bourbon.
	And, of course, the effervescent mutton and mead.
	Head on over to noagendanation.com slash rings and Eric will hook you up there.
	Sir Rutherford the Brave, thank you very much for supporting our show.
	I like the way you combine the jobs and cancer karma.
	That's good, isn't it?
	It's kind of cute, yeah.
	Yeah, it worked.
	I have to take a bow.
	I have to take a bow for my Red Book entry.
	Okay.
	It'll be explained in this clip, which I believe you'll understand when you play it.
	It's the head and the photographer.
	The head...
	And the photographer.
	Ladies and gentlemen, John's Riddle of the Week.
	Welcome back to TMZ Live.
	Kathy Griffin's worst nightmare.
	That head of Donald Trump.
	By the way, you say worst nightmare.
	I think this will ultimately help her, but go on.
	You think it's going to ultimately help her?
	Yep.
	Come on.
	But we'll talk about it.
	All right.
	Well, it is going up for sale.
	Tyler Shields, the photographer, the famed photographer behind this whole shoot who came up with the idea with Kathy to do it.
	I decided that it was time to part ways with the head.
	And he says that he's already gotten more than a thousand offers for this.
	Hold on.
	This is not exactly.
	He's not going to part away with the head.
	He's just going to start making original prints of the head.
	So he gets to keep the head and sell the prints.
	Wait, I thought he was selling.
	No.
	He gets to keep it?
	He keeps the head...
	And he's going to sell the prints.
	He gets to keep the hat.
	If he sells the hat, it's going to be...
	Tyler Shields is brilliant.
	Brilliant.
	So he actually didn't solicit that he wanted to sell it.
	What happened was he had all these people reach out saying they wanted it, wanted it, wanted it.
	And it was over a thousand people, like you said.
	He had an offer for $100,000.
	He said that wasn't enough.
	Someone came around and said $150,000.
	He said, nope, not enough.
	And so he's kind of toying with the idea of selling it, but he wants a lot more.
	So instead, he's going to sell to people a print.
	Can they come in and do their own shoot?
	Nope.
	You are so close.
	On point, really.
	Because you did say in the Red Book that the head would go on its own tour, would have its own agent.
	It's getting there.
	It's getting very close.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the head would have an agent.
	Yeah.
	And eventually go on tour.
	And her head is gone.
	Yeah, that's what we're waiting for.
	The head needs to go on tour of the talk show.
	I think it will show up on a Colbert episode.
	That's possible.
	Yes.
	That is an addendum.
	Topper.
	Yeah.
	Topper.
	Well, since we're doing fun clips, John...
	And since we know that this program is now important, it is number one in the ratings in its slot.
	Hillary Clinton appeared.
	Everyone appears on The View.
	So I just have to say I've been right along.
	This is a very important show.
	And especially because it's so accurate.
	And so truthful.
	Particularly when you know that Antifa, or Antifa, None of the women had ever heard of this before.
	They've never heard of the Antifa group.
	And presumably their searches on Google, or maybe they use Bing, didn't turn up any results to show that this group has been around in Europe.
	No.
	In fact, it's probably just a catchphrase someone came up with.
	It's anti-fascism.
	And for anybody that thinks that this is a not-violent group, I mean, they're predicated on violence.
	And in fact, the Department of Homeland Security, according to documents...
	I saw your thing, and let me just say this to you.
	When we looked to see what they were talking about, there was nothing there.
	Because when you look at the bottom of your list, The year that they're talking about is when Obama was in.
	So we went to see what they had been protesting, what fascist stuff Antifa had been protesting.
	She clearly can't make the connection between Antifa and Occupy Wall Street, which is where a lot of these actual people came from.
	But okay, she did the research.
	Antifa had been protesting, and there isn't anything.
	There's nothing there.
	We can't find anything.
	So this, to me, Antifa is one of those things that, I don't want to say they're right, but somebody came up with as a catchphrase so that you could say, you know, oh, there is violence on the other side.
	Isn't this great?
	I mean, is she really?
	Does she even watch TV? No.
	Then she certainly didn't do the search herself.
	I can't believe that she's saying this.
	And just cutting off the other host saying, I've seen your thing, whatever that is.
	You don't know what you're talking about.
	Yeah, it goes on.
	Violence on the other side.
	But I don't remember violent demonstrations before the gentleman who's in now.
	No, we don't remember Occupy.
	Okay, I must be completely devoid of memory.
	Got it.
	It's the mold.
	That's the thing.
	I just want to say, because I didn't get to finish the point about the anti-fascism.
	I understand.
	I cut you off.
	No, it's all right, though.
	I get it.
	And that's totally fine.
	But according to confidential government documents, they were labeled a, quote, domestic terrorist group.
	Antifa was.
	The Department of Homeland Security started warning local and state officials about them back in 2016 when we were at the inauguration covering it for ABC. We took a quick break, got a quick bite in D.C., I didn't hear any of that on Inauguration Day.
	I didn't either.
	That would have been a good report.
	Because they were knocking people over.
	They were burning things.
	They were attacking police.
	But they weren't.
	And they were throwing things at the wind, breaking the windows.
	When did you first hear that phrase?
	I actually just started hearing about Antifa a couple of months ago, even though they've been done a domestic territory.
	I had never heard of it.
	My understanding is that it doesn't have a leader.
	It doesn't have a headquarters.
	It's not an organized group.
	And I do not think that you can compare.
	That's right.
	The signs, those professionally printed and designed signs, it's not from an organized group.
	They just found them on the street.
	This Antifa movement with the KKK. No, you can't.
	Because it has, the KKK has been, you know, terrorizing my community for centuries.
	Oh, man.
	First of all, KKK is like, how many people are really in the KKK? How many really need to show up?
	Then Antifa, I think, is much bigger.
	Antifa is much bigger than KKK. And then for the woman in my community, all black people are now her community.
	I don't like her doing that either.
	That has been, you know, terrorizing my community for centuries.
	So this false equivalency, there's something on both sides is ridiculous.
	And I really think if Donald Trump wants to say anything about racism, he has to first talk about his being complicit in that because he ran a campaign based on racial resentment and It's just like Taylor Swift.
	He has to denounce and then admit.
	Right.
	His campaign was for angry white people.
	And he talked about Mexicans being rapists.
	He talked about a gold star Muslim family.
	He noticed his crime.
	So, first, the crime he called...
	The crime he talked about.
	Yeah.
	He talked about Mexican rapists.
	He talked about a Gold Star family.
	About Mexicans being rapists.
	Oh, being rapists.
	He talked about a Gold Star Muslim family.
	He talked about black people.
	He talked about...
	He talked about black people.
	Horrible man.
	You know, he has...
	Participated in housing discrimination.
	And so anything that he says for me needs to start with the birther movement.
	minute.
	He needs to admit that he is the reason why we are seeing this racial divide in our so let's go to the next upcoming scandal.
	Oh, we're picking the hits once again.
	I'm going to try.
	I'm good.
	Not as good as you, but I can hang in there.
	You can hang.
	I can hang.
	Let's pick this hit.
	This is Trump and Child Labor Laws.
	Oh, this will be good.
	I like it already.
	And something new at the White House today.
	Today, an 11-year-old boy mowing lawn, Frank Giaccio of Falls Church, Virginia, got the gig after offering his services to President Trump.
	This morning, he cut the rose garden grass, and he kept his focus even when the president walked alongside him.
	Mr. Trump called him the future of the country.
	The boy said he usually charges $8 a lawn, but he did the White House job for free.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	Child labor laws.
	It's child labor laws, and the kid wasn't paid.
	And the kid's dad said no.
	And he's the future of the country, in other words, working free for the government.
	It's the future of the country.
	You know, this took me back.
	I remember when I was a kid, and I get to say it now, that I wrote a letter to the president, and at the time that was President Nixon.
	And I recall very distinctly what I wrote and what I got back.
	I remember I really liked it.
	Because I said, dear Mr.
	President, both my parents smoke.
	Can you make some laws against smoking?
	And I got a really nice note back, not from the President, but from his secretary.
	And she said, I talked to the President about it.
	And that used to be kind of common.
	I think maybe every kid my age at the time was like, yeah, well, you should write a letter to the President.
	I don't think that's being done anymore.
	It was always kind of a fun thing for kids.
	And they had a department.
	Kids can't write anymore anyway.
	Did you see the kid's handwriting?
	He's 11.
	Did you see his name?
	No.
	Oh, you've got to see the note.
	It's a typed note.
	And then his name is Kevin.
	It's like, you know, it's like font, you know, 44-point font, just written, scrawled.
	I mean, 11-year-olds should be able to write better than this kid.
	I hate to say it, but jeez.
	Well, you're living in a dream world.
	Yes, and your point is?
	Living in a dream world.
	Living in a dream world.
	Thanks.
	I want to talk about North Korea for a second.
	I've got two things here.
	One is I have a little piece of video from Japan of the air raid siren going off and the giant voice system telling people what to do.
	And you can literally hear the birds as no one is rushing out of their homes.
	No one is doing anything.
	It's just, okay, ho-hum.
	They don't seem too worried about it.
	Boots on the ground say so as well.
	But Nikki Haley, our ambassador to the United Nations, she's ready to destroy North Korea.
	The president said last month that North Korea would face fire and fury if it continues to threaten the U.S. and its allies.
	Well, since the president said that, North Korea has really done nothing but threaten the U.S. and its allies.
	North Korea threatened Guam.
	North Korea fired two missiles over Japan and tested a hydrogen bomb.
	So, was the president's fire and fury remark an empty threat?
	It was not an empty threat.
	What we were doing was being responsible.
	Where North Korea is being irresponsible and reckless, we were being responsible by trying to use every diplomatic possibility that we could possibly do.
	We've pretty much exhausted all the things that we could do at the Security Council at this point.
	I said yesterday, I'm perfectly happy kicking this over to General Mattis because he has plenty of military options.
	So I think that the fire and fury, while he said this is what we can do to North Korea, we wanted to be responsible and go through all diplomatic means to get their attention first.
	If that doesn't work, General Mattis will take care of it.
	Well, by saying General Mattis will take care of it, you're talking about the Pentagon and you're talking about a military option.
	Is that what fire and fury meant?
	You have to ask the president what fire and fury meant, but I think we all know that basically if North Korea keeps on with this reckless behavior, if the United States has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way, North Korea will be destroyed.
	And we all know that.
	And none of us want that.
	None of us want war.
	But we also have to look at the fact that you are dealing with someone who is being reckless, irresponsible, and is continuing to give threats not only to the United States, but to all of their allies.
	So something is going to have to be done.
	We're trying every other possibility that we have, but there's a whole lot of military options on the table.
	All right.
	This woman is a gigantic douchebag.
	Stop.
	Stop.
	I pointed this out to you.
	You did.
	When you were singing her praises.
	I wasn't singing her praises, but I said I think I like her.
	It was early days, and I remember very clearly what you said, and you're right.
	And this whole McMaster's thing, and we're all going to go bomb him.
	Screw you guys.
	And this, to me, is a litmus test.
	And by the way, here's a little tip from the show.
	Nothing is going to happen until diplomats are called back from South Korea.
	Until you see that, it's all just words.
	Yeah, we don't want our guys killed.
	When you hear diplomats being called back from the region, then there may be something to worry about.
	I presume that they're still just doing their sales job, but they're really going beyond the sale now, which is, in this case, not so good.
	Did we talk about On the last couple of shows, we had a guy from Japan write in and say that this isn't even on the news.
	Yeah, they don't care about it.
	Yeah, they don't.
	And we're making a big deal out of it.
	And we're going, oh, Japan's threatened.
	Oh, this is going to happen.
	That's going to happen.
	The Japanese don't seem to be too concerned about it.
	No.
	And the other thing is, why don't we shoot one of these things out of the air if we're so great at that sort of thing?
	Yeah, because it doesn't work.
	I mean, why would we let it go over at all?
	Why does anyone let it go over Japan's sovereign airspace?
	Yeah.
	Because it doesn't work.
	It doesn't work.
	It's all the Patriot crap that went on.
	I visited Israel shortly after one of those wars where there's scuds.
	Kick one.
	The Scuds.
	Yeah, the Scuds.
	This is the Scuds one.
	This is the Scuds war, where the Iraqis were bringing Scuds to the border.
	Just the name itself tells you the thing.
	I know, I love the name.
	It's not going to do much for you.
	So they're bringing these Scuds to the border, these Russian pieces of crap, apparently.
	So they'd shoot them up, and then the Patriots, and these things would land randomly in the desert.
	But then things were going up, and then the...
	And then the, I think this is during the George Bush War, maybe, I'm not sure.
	Anyway, so they're shooting these things up, and then the patriots are shooting them down, and people used to sit, apparently, in Israel, they'd sit on their porches and watch this, like a display, fireworks display.
	And then it turned out, after all was said and done, that the patriots hit none of them, and all the scuds that blew up in the air just fell apart in flight.
	I know.
	This is like a comedy, watching these events.
	It's like Wile E. Coyote with the stuff blowing up in the air.
	Scuds.
	Well, speaking of stuff blowing up in the air, new twist in the investigation into the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17. This is the one that went down over Ukraine and has been pinned on the Russians.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	When did that happen?
	That happened July 17th, 2014, more than three years ago.
	Well, I guess they recovered the black boxes so they could analyze them.
	We have pretty much the same lame-ass report.
	It's Dutch investigators mainly leading this.
	That's why I'm always running into stories about it.
	And here's the update, which will not be included, apparently, in their next new, new, really official explanation of what happened and who's responsible, for we do not know yet.
	The Germans, the Russians, had given the Dutch investigators the raw data from their radar.
	And for some reason, they couldn't or wouldn't decode it into understanding what was in that data.
	Who would?
	The Dutch investigators.
	So the Dutch got the data and then they wouldn't do anything with it.
	Well, they say they couldn't figure it out.
	Oh, too complicated.
	So the Russians did the decoding for them and also released that so we can see it.
	And the decoded recordings clearly show the missiles been fired from a zone controlled by Ukrainian military.
	It really shows.
	And I'm just presuming this is all real and there's evidence.
	I haven't seen all of it.
	I don't have the raw data myself.
	But it shows that the official, up-till-now official narrative is just incorrect.
	But for everything I'm hearing, they're not going to include this latest data.
	There's a guy who wrote a book about it.
	It's coming out.
	I think it's for some reason coming out in German first, but he has all this.
	He's a Dutch professor at the Department of International Relations at, actually, University of Sussex.
	And so he has his version, and he is going to put this down, but he says, here it is, The professor says he believes that these tragedies come about for geopolitical reasons.
	And he says, who benefited the most from this disaster?
	The answer would be...
	Ukraine.
	No, we did.
	The U.S. Oh, the U.S. of A. Yes, he specifically...
	I'm sorry, what am I thinking?
	Hello, foam finger number one.
	One day before the tragedy...
	The BRICS nations signed an agreement to establish their own bank, which the US saw as a rival to the IMF and the World Bank.
	Putin and Merkel had settled on a new conceptual framework for resolving the crisis in Ukraine without US input.
	You remember this.
	And once this flight went down, the next week, American gas companies were kick-starting work in Europe, getting Russia out of the EU market.
	They immediately abandoned the South Stream gas pipeline.
	You remember all this?
	Oh, yeah.
	And in came Exxon with their $5 billion investment into Ukraine.
	Right.
	Very interesting the professor is saying, hey, I don't know, but whoever brought this thing down, it wasn't from Russian territory, and the people who benefited from it most took advantage of it immediately.
	So we're douchebags either way.
	And you have to remember, if we're being blamed, we only have Victoria Nuland to thank for making it so blatantly clear.
	So that's the update.
	The irony of the whole thing is right out there in the open.
	And that was the Russians, of course, that took that.
	They're the ones who tapped that conversation, we believe.
	Because how else would it get released?
	And they did it, saying, okay, we're going to record this conversation, put it out there, and then, can you imagine the meeting they're having, saying, oh, we got this conversation, and she's saying, fuck the EU, and say, oh, we'll put that, that'll fix things.
	Everyone will hear that.
	Nope.
	And they will turn against this whole neocon operation, and everything will be fine, and we'll feel good about life.
	No.
	Whatever.
	What are the Kardashians doing this week?
	That didn't really work, did it?
	No, it didn't work.
	It worked for us, for the show.
	Equifax, the Equifax hack turns out to be much more problematic for the company.
	Now all kinds of stuff is coming to light, such as one of their databases in one of the EU countries had the standard admin password login that hundreds of people were using to administer the database.
	You know, that kind of real secure stuff.
	Two top technology executives and security experts at Equifax, quote, retiring late Friday in wake of the massive and embarrassing data breach of private information on nearly half the U.S. population.
	Equifax also revealing Friday information on 400,000 Britons was stolen because their data...
	We're stored in the U.S. Told you.
	Chief Security Officer Susan Malden and Chief Information Officer David Webb no longer work for Equifax Effective immediately, the company announced.
	Hackers had access to sensitive data like Social Security numbers and driver's license info for up to 143 million Americans.
	We're trying to push back up.
	U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who's built a reputation as America's fierce consumer champion, announced it Friday that she started an investigation.
	Eleven other Democratic senators joining Warren, introducing a bill to give consumers the ability to freeze their credit for free.
	This is what's interesting.
	I believe you already, by law, have the right.
	And there's actually a page.
	Where is this page?
	I think it's part of the government website.
	Here it is.
	This is, yeah, from the FTC. Credit freeze.
	Anyone can freeze their credit.
	They give you three numbers for the FICO companies, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
	You have to give them your name, address, date of birth, social security number, then a fee, which could be $5.
	Okay.
	But why wait for some legislation when you can just do it for free?
	And why not lock it up?
	We're locking it up today.
	I mean, who gives a crap?
	I don't need a loan.
	I don't want anyone looking at my stuff.
	But they're going to make it free and official, I guess.
	Everyone should just do this.
	Lock it up.
	Block it up.
	And we can use a song.
	Yeah, we can.
	Lock it up.
	But I was just surprised that people don't even know this, that you can do this for free.
	Just do it.
	Don't be a part of this scam.
	What did you call it?
	Lock it up.
	No, Rico scam.
	You call it racketeering.
	Oh, I said racketeering.
	Racketeering outfit.
	It's racketeering.
	It is racketeering.
	Yeah, it's outrageous.
	Good to see Elizabeth Warren on the job.
	Oh, she's going to accomplish nothing.
	So I have a clip that I think introduces a new player.
	Nice.
	In the world stage.
	Now, what you're going to hear, this is the clip that you want to line it up, is John Miller.
	John Miller is the guy that is a spook.
	It never says he's a spook.
	But he used to work for CBS as a news correspondent.
	And somehow, he's gone from news correspondent to the head of...
	New York, right?
	Yeah, counterintelligence or something.
	He went from...
	Yeah, remember he did that in-depth report on CBS? It was 60 Minutes.
	About the CIA. About the CIA. Yeah, it was like about as shallow as anything we've ever seen on television.
	Pretty much, yeah.
	So this guy comes on, and so when he comes on, you have to listen to him because he's got stuff to tell you.
	And he introduces, I think he introduces, unless you've heard of this guy before, I think he's introduced a new player on the scene.
	See if you can find him.
	Joining us now is John Miller, Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism for the New York City Police Department.
	And many of you will remember a former senior correspondent for CBS News.
	John, what's your assessment of the attempted bombing in London?
	Well, I think what we're seeing is likely a lone wolf actor probably inspired by what we've seen is now a juggernaut of propaganda coming from groups like al-Qaeda and particularly ISIS. And we are seeing that as they are being pummeled in the war zone and losing more territory and having soldiers leave the battlefield,
	That they are continuing to turn up the propaganda machine that says if we are losing a war on the ground here, we have others to fight it where you live.
	Given the frustration that ISIS is feeling in other parts of the world, do you think the threat level here is higher now?
	In New York, we live with the reality that we are the most targeted city in the United States by terrorist plots.
	We have a great relationship with the Joint Terrorism Task Force, our FBI partners, and together we've managed to thwart almost 100% of the plots that have been levied against us since 9-11-2001.
	We don't kid ourselves, though.
	There is no such thing as total protection in a free society.
	You always looked at ISIS as a dangerous animal.
	Now I think you look at ISIS as a dangerous, wounded animal that comes with an element of desperation.
	I think you also see al-Qaeda waiting right behind in the shadows to see if ISIS rises or falls.
	And to fill that gap, we saw a message from Osama bin Laden's son yesterday, Hamza bin Laden, calling on people to not leave the fight and to do attacks where they are.
	So it's something of great concern to us, something that we follow every day, and something that we believe we've prepared for as well as we can.
	John Miller, Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Police Department.
	Thanks.
	It's creative.
	I'll give him that.
	To bring in Bin Laden's kid.
	Is that the idea?
	That's what it sounds like.
	I can't get his first name.
	I think it's Hansa.
	It sounded like Hansa, Hansa, Hansel.
	Hansa.
	Hansa Bin Laden.
	Let me see if I can.
	Did you do a quick search?
	No, I just rolled my eyes and went on to the next clip.
	So they've got to crank up, because Al-Qaeda, I guess, was a better player.
	And by the way, when you see on CBS, if anyone watches CBS, but CBS News is quite good.
	Hamza.
	H-A-M-Z-A. Hamza.
	Hamza.
	And the kid is cute.
	He's good looking.
	That's what you need.
	You need show business.
	Come on.
	This is very good.
	He's 28.
	And he urges the Sunni Muslims to fight crusaders, Shia, and international aggression.
	That's the fight the Iranians.
	Yes.
	So when you're watching CBS, if the host, the anchorman, which is that guy that's reading from the script with this guy from New York City, when he's interviewing people, Like that, the way he did that.
	It's almost like a 60 Minutes interview.
	You know that the messaging is...
	This is messaging that the agency is putting out there for you to pay attention to.
	And that's why it made me snap to when they mentioned Hamza.
	Hamza.
	Hamza with an M. Hamza.
	Hamza.
	Hamza bin Laden.
	I said, oh, here we go.
	This is going to be...
	Again, I'm picking the hits.
	Ah, yes.
	This is a hit.
	I think you're right.
	This is bubbling under.
	It could rise up the charts with a bullet.
	Yeah, I think a bullet is necessary.
	A bullet will be very necessary.
	I also like his name, Hamza.
	Hamza.
	And we can call him BLJ, Bin Laden Jr.
	So, there's all kinds of good things.
	All kinds of good things.
	So, that's coming.
	Then we have the ongoing mystery of the sonic attacks.
	New details about the unexplained health attacks on American diplomats.
	Now they're being called health attacks, which is, I don't know, why choose this word?
	Why not say, you know, dangerous attack, terrorism, there's a million different things.
	Hey, a bullet is a health attack.
	If it's directed at you, it could be quite a health attack.
	But still, I thought it was a curious term.
	New details about the unexplained health attacks on American diplomats in Cuba show that in some cases they were narrowly confined to rooms within a house or even just parts of a room.
	Some diplomats reported waking up in the middle of the night hearing loud grinding noises or high-pitched noises moving a few feet away from their bed and the noise would stop.
	They'd move back into their bed and the noise would start again as if there was an invisible wall cutting through the room.
	U.S. investigators still have not determined what caused these attacks or what type of device was responsible, but they're testing several theories about sonic weapons and other devices.
	People were hearing sound in one part of the room and not hearing it in another part of the room.
	Some of the symptoms that they were reported were things like hearing loss, vertigo, memory loss, brain lesions, brain swelling, and other very direct physiological effects that sound waves couldn't possibly create.
	Investigators have been looking at multiple possibilities for who was behind this.
	The Cuban government, some rogue faction of Cuba's security forces, a third country, or maybe some combination of those.
	The AP has also learned that diplomats were attacked in at least one hotel, the Hotel Capri.
	It's a historic hotel in downtown Havana, just steps from the Malacón, Havana's famed Oceanside Promenade.
	Sound waves can't go through solid surfaces.
	When sound goes through air, it's going to bounce off a solid surface, whether it's a wall or whether it's a person's body.
	It's not going to penetrate the body unless that ultrasound source is in contact with the surface.
	The scope of the attacks continues to grow.
	This week, the State Department said that doctors had confirmed another two American victims, bringing the total to 21.
	It's possible the number will grow even higher as investigators continue to look at possible victims.
	And that was a Reuters report.
	Pretty much the only people still on this.
	I mean, there's a headline here and there, but I would really like to know what's going on and why this doesn't get more attention is a little bit puzzling.
	It's very screwy.
	And I have one question that nobody seems to want to ask or answer or even discuss.
	If you have this ongoing attack and a guy's getting in his bed and he feels like he's going through a wall and I can hear this sound and then he moves back off the bed and he can't hear it anymore.
	Why isn't there like, and I don't want to use the term, but I will, tiger team of experts that can come running to say, I've got the sound, it's in the room right now.
	And a bunch of guys come in with all these sensors and stuff and they check it out because the thing turns on and off and on and off.
	It seems to me that, I got that sound, I got it right now, let's go!
	And so you rush over there and check it out, or if it's someplace else, or if it's at the hotel, and the guy's noticing it, you can hear a subsonic sound or something, he calls up the Tiger team, and they come running over.
	I haven't heard anything about somebody coming in and trying to analyze this sound.
	Getting some direction finder, seeing where the sound's coming from, getting a frequency response device that can hear the sound at different levels to see what the frequency is, Kenneth, and all that sort of thing.
	Well, to be fair, there's often loud grinding noises coming from my bedroom.
	I don't want a bunch of Tiger teams running in.
	And with that...
	You're absolutely right.
	And I still think it's some form of directed energy weapon.
	And I think it's coming from above.
	They're thinking that it's from the side or somewhere else.
	It seems more logical it comes from above.
	I don't think any of it makes much sense.
	And I'm still very concerned about the fact that when this story first appeared, one of the networks, I think it was CBS, had one of the CIA guys, a CIA guy, come out and say, well, I don't know if you should jump to conclusions.
	You know, maybe not the government does do it.
	As if they knew something.
	Yeah.
	Hey, by the way, funniest headline this week?
	Uh...
	Former CIA director cancels Harvard's speech over Manning becoming fellow at Harvard?
	Yeah.
	I thought it was a funny headline.
	Why is he canceling the speech?
	Because Harvard has...
	Because he's that upset about the way Harvard operates its own business?
	Because the Harvard Kennedy Law School invited Chelsea Manning to be a fellow.
	Yeah, no, I understand the story.
	And so they're like, no, we don't want this guy.
	He's a traitor.
	He betrayed the CIA. She...
	Well, it wasn't really the CIA that he betrayed.
	He betrayed the State Department.
	Okay, a traitor.
	So Pompeo canceled, but also Mike Morrell said, oh, I'm resigning.
	I'm resigning from your fellowship, which he did.
	I don't know if he's back yet, because they rescinded, I think, Manning's fellowship.
	They'd rather have Mike Murrell as a phony.
	Mike Murrell?
	It would have been great.
	I think it would have been good if they said, yeah, finally some fresh air here on the fellowship board or whatever it's called.
	But no, I think they buckled.
	I think they buckled.
	Well, while you're talking about the funniest headline this week, I do have...
	Another episode of The Week Ahead, which highlights all the great things that we can all do in the coming week.
