	Klingon Marta Judge.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, October 29th, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 9 or 7-7.
	This is No Agenda.
	This is No Agenda.
	Hot boxing, another hotel room, and coming to you just a stone's throw away from the Dutch government of Gitmo Nation Lowlands in The Hague, in the Netherlands, in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm still catching my breath, I'm John C. DeBarack.
	It's Crackball and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Yeah, did you get any sleep is the question.
	What, from last night?
	No, from the last show.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Oh, my God.
	I'm in the Netherlands, John.
	I heard that.
	You sound good.
	I know.
	Well, let's not jinx it.
	It's been one of those...
	Jinx it.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's a brand new Marriott in The Hague, so it's like one of those diplomatic kind of vibes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, yeah.
	It's The Hague.
	A lot of flags everywhere.
	Flags.
	Flags.
	Lots of flags.
	Lots of international flavor.
	All kinds of international flavor roaming around.
	And they have four or five different networks.
	And I got on.
	Finally, I... Well, there's two problems.
	I always carry a router with me so I can have everything interconnect, you know, so the jingle tablet can talk to the main machine and all that stuff.
	But it doesn't, this may not, I didn't know this, and maybe it's something I just don't, I'm unaware of, but I have two routers, two Netflix, no, Netflix, Netgear routers.
	You're getting your cable there while you're out of Netflix routers.
	I've got a Netflix router.
	No, I have a Huawei, a brand new Huawei, and I have a Netgear, and neither one can do it.
	Oh, so the Chinese are listening in.
	Hello, China!
	Well, no, we're not on that one, because neither one can relay 5G signals.
	Is that something I'm just unaware of?
	Why would they be able to?
	Well, why wouldn't they be able to?
	I mean, Wi-Fi 5G. Not cell phone, but Wi-Fi.
	You know, you have 2.4G and 5G. Well, it depends on what kind of router it is.
	Well, I have the newest NetBear.
	If it doesn't have 5G capability, it's not going to be able to do that.
	If you're talking about a wireless router.
	Yeah, I'm surprised.
	I thought the brand new one would be able to do that.
	And neither one of the brand new wireless routers that I have can extend 5G. Anyway.
	You don't think...
	Okay.
	Yeah, so I wasn't aware of that.
	Well, the problem is that the 2.4G Wi-Fi signals here are really, really slow.
	We're talking under a megabit a second.
	Well, like half a megabit a second.
	But there's a conference Wi-Fi I found for the conference center, and that has straight up and down beautiful, but it's 5G. So the bottom line is I can't use the Jingle machine the way I'd like to, so I have to basically switch to an app.
	For spontaneous jinglage.
	If you know what I mean.
	That's okay.
	We'll just be lousy jinglage.
	Exactly.
	That's my way of saying lousy jinglage today.
	Yes.
	Anyway.
	Can you play anything?
	Can you play...
	Yeah, I can do whatever you want.
	Push a button.
	Push a button?
	Okay.
	That's one mother I like.
	That was fine.
	That's perfect.
	Perfect.
	And this is where you would say, what are you doing there, Adam?
	What are you doing there, Adam?
	Oh, so hold on.
	Let me get myself in the character.
	So you're in the Hague?
	Yes, where the Dutch government sits.
	Yeah, you said that on your intro.
	Yes, it's a twofer.
	Do they ever stand?
	I think they just sit.
	Okay, so what are you doing there?
	It's a twofer deal.
	I was invited, I don't know, about a month ago, I was invited to a special command performance of Soldier of Orange, the musical.
	Are you familiar with the book or the movie Soldier of Orange?
	No.
	Well, it won an Oscar.
	It's very famous.
	Oh, I did it now.
	Okay, good.
	Very famous.
	But it's about World War II and it's very iconic.
	Is it about Trump?
	Yeah.
	No, it's not about Trump who gives a crap about the movie.
	No, it's an iconic World War II movie.
	I saw it when it was Soldier of Orange and that was some reference to Trump.
	Got it.
	I should have figured that one out.
	So there's going to be a whole bunch of World War II veterans.
	And Agent Orange, you know, one of our military intelligence guys who's always helping us out, he said, well, we'd like to come over.
	And like the oldest World War II vet, I think, Miguel and Maggie, he's 100 years old.
	He's flying in for this thing.
	And so we got to take care of the hotel, transportation, everything.
	But they didn't really have...
	Airline tickets, and I'm like, ah, you know, I appreciate you asking me and all that.
	But then Christina got some kind of deal with Netflix, hence my confusion earlier, and I was kind of helping her work out the deal, and before I knew it, I was like, well, why don't you come too and do this thing?
	I was like, well, will you pay for the ticket?
	And they're like, yeah, okay, and then give Christina more money?
	Yeah, okay.
	So that's how I got my tickets, and I got the hotel room from the veterans, and here we are.
	Now you're talking.
	Right?
	That's the way to travel.
	Exactly.
	Free.
	So I decided to take the only flight that goes direct to anything, except for the United States, to England, actually, to London.
	British Airways has one flight a day from Austin to London and from London to Austin.
	They started this a couple of years ago when Formula One came to Austin.
	And to keep the route, they have to fly this.
	And it's about the same price, I guess, as KLM, but oh my god, this was the big 787 Dreamliner that I flew on.
	Ah, plastic plane.
	You said you'd never fly on it because it's plastic.
	No, I said I'm not a fan of plastic planes.
	I didn't say I'd never fly on it.
	But this thing is, what an outstanding product!
	Oh my God!
	Okay, so the way British Airways has it, they have, what do I call it, cattle, car, then they have cattle car plus, business class, and first class.
	So not the three, but they have four classes of service.
	Most of the airlines do that extra legroom crap for extra money.
	Almost everybody.
	Let me tell you, on the 787...
	It's a separate cabin.
	This is the extra legroom crap.
	It's a separate cabin.
	It has not just extra legroom.
	It's pretty much what you'd get on domestic first class in the U.S. First class?
	Not business?
	No, first.
	Like huge legroom.
	Only two seats next to each other.
	So if you're with the companions, just the two of you.
	Recline, fantastic.
	I was able to sleep a little.
	I don't sleep very well.
	Just a really outstanding quiet because this thing flies at 41,000 feet because it's light.
	We're hoping for some free tickets, you guys.
	It's really an experience.
	You know, the windows with the electronic dimming.
	This is like a wide open native ad, I wish.
	Who gives a crap?
	Hey, hand over some tickets.
	Keep talking.
	Look, I bitch when it's horrible and it was a great experience.
	That's when I was flying.
	That's actually good to know because if you can get some leg room Because the prices on business and first, if you actually have to pay for them, it's pretty steep.
	But if you can get enough legroom, it's just the legroom, that's the issue.
	And you actually are separated from the losers with no legroom.
	You're getting a little curtain.
	Hey, suckers back there, don't come past my curtain.
	Don't use my bathroom.
	I was blown away by the aircraft, really.
	And they have the windows that dim electronically.
	So no shades, which is great.
	It's another thing that can go wrong.
	Yes.
	However, while it's working, it's great because whenever you fly transatlantic and you're trying to sleep, there's always some douchebag who's like...
	Opens the shade while everyone's sleeping, and of course you're already past the date line, and sunlight darts into the whole cabin.
	It wakes everybody up.
	So now the flight deck can dim everything, and I was awake when they woke everybody up.
	It was like a little bit of blue light, a little bit of red light, and just a little bit of the windows.
	The algos were doing their best.
	Very impressive.
	Huh.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, good to know.
	I'm glad Boeing did that one right.
	Well, of course, they're way over budget.
	Oh, yeah.
	They probably never get a return on that thing.
	It takes off like an Airbus.
	You know, Airbus is very quiet when it takes off, and the Boeing is typically...
	Now, it has the Rolls-Royce engines.
	I don't know if they all have the Rolls-Royce engines.
	This one did.
	And just very quiet, but, man, you're at 41,000 feet, and there's nothing up there.
	You're almost in space.
	It was really good.
	Outstanding product.
	Go Boeing.
	That said...
	With your plastic plane.
	Yeah.
	That said, with your plastic plane...
	Which will oxidize and crack.
	What we really want to talk about is not the plane, except for the possibility of free tickets, but the experience of the new TSA extra security because of the dangers.
	Well, I won't have that until the way back, no, will I? It's just the same going out.
	Just as always the same mediocre out.
	Yeah.
	Well, let me see.
	No, it was okay.
	It was kind of regular, really.
	Here's what I'm predicting.
	At some point, this is going to be fun to watch.
	At some point, coming back, they're not going to let you bring your laptops on board.
	Yeah.
	And they're not going to let you check them.
	Well, there goes the show.
	Well, there goes, besides the show, not you in this flight, but I say sometime in the future, somebody's going to do that just unthinkingly.
	Going to just put that in place, and it's only going to last a little while because of all the fuss that's going to happen.
	You think?
	Yeah, because they're all freaked out about these laptop batteries and the bombs in the laptops.
	So you've got bombs in the laptops.
	You can't put the laptops in storage because they're going to blow up anyway because of the batteries, and you don't want that.
	And then you can't bring them on board.
	I really think they're going to prohibit laptops.
	And what's going to happen is people are going to fly over with laptops, and the prohibition is going to go in place while they're over there, and they're not going to bring their laptops back.
	It's very possible if there's some kind of scare, and really we had two that affected us.
	One was the shoe bomber, and it was still kind of a scare because it just kind of fizzled, didn't even burn his foot.
	And that's why we have to take our shoes off, in case you forgot.
	And the reason why you can't take your drink, your water, your bottled water, is I think by now pretty well debunked that these seven guys from England were all going to get on with different components of a liquid bomb in their water bottles and mix them on the plate.
	It was overheard in a conversation.
	Yeah, and that's why you can't have water now to take through the TSA. Well, they saw it also as a benefit.
	Well, yeah, jack up the prices on the other side.
	Hero!
	Yeah, once you get the cash, you get to buy a bottle of water.
	Although the smart money eventually got a clue and brought in empty bottles and then went to the faucets, which they couldn't kill.
	And they filled their bottles up that way.
	I did see they had a...
	The x-ray machine, there were two signs as I was going through the line, because I didn't have pre-check.
	Of course, I mean, why did I do the interview?
	Why did I spend the money?
	Why give me pre-check?
	That would be crazy.
	They still have signs for Zika.
	Like, hello, 2017 already.
	Let's update that.
	To hepatitis A. And the other one was they had a sign that this machine also detects bottled water.
	So this is an upgrade, I presume.
	It detects bottled water?
	Yep.
	Wow.
	How about detecting a bomb instead?
	No, we don't want that.
	Okay, if it detects bottled water, then it knows it's water, right?
	No, I don't know.
	That's just what the sign said.
	If it detects bottled water, it says this is bottled water, it should let you pass.
	Yeah, no, that's not what they're saying.
	They're saying if it detects bottled water, you're getting arrested pretty much.
	Because you fool, you should have taken it out.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	It's just not much I can say, John.
	It was kind of weird.
	Just give us a quick rundown of what's going on in Europe that we wouldn't know by being over here.
	Is there anything?
	Yeah, I have some specs and stuff.
	Okay, let's go with Spexit.
	I have a rundown.
	I have a rundown.
	And I want to mention that the first thing I did when I arrived, I got in, one of Taxi Eric's guys sent someone, Taxi Eric sent a guy to pick me up.
	And I said, well, so what's going on?
	He said, well, we're all really worried about Spain.
	He said, really?
	Yeah, Barcelona is really, yeah, we're worried about that.
	Did he say Barthelona?
	No, I tried to swallow it, but I meant Barcelona.
	Okay.
	He said Barcelona.
	But you can pick on me if you want.
	Feel free.
	Go ahead.
	Just do it.
	I was just wondering.
	Yeah, okay.
	Thanks.
	And he was like, yeah, we have a special thing with Barcelona.
	And I just went, oh yeah, of course.
	What the hell?
	Did Dutch have a special relationship with Barcelona?
	And it wasn't until the next day that I figured it out.
	Johan Cruyff.
	He's the...
	He's like...
	You got Pele and you got Krauf when it comes to soccer players.
	And he was the trainer and manager of FC Barcelona for a long time.
	I actually knew that.
	Yeah.
	But it took me a while to figure it out.
	But yeah, they're very worried.
	So that constitutes a special relationship?
	I think it's...
	Some employee?
	Yeah.
	Well, he was not just an employee.
	He's a national hero.
	Yeah, but he was still an employee.
	Anyway, so we're really worried because not only...
	Are we afraid because we love Barcelona and we don't want them to get bombed?
	Which could happen.
	He said, well, it happened before.
	Franco.
	Yeah, Franco.
	In our lifetime.
	It wasn't that long ago.
	I was alive.
	He said also, we're very worried about Belgium.
	And there's already rumblings about Belgium.
	And we've talked about this.
	That's more ironic.
	I like the Belgian thing.
	That's funnier.
	Here's the update.
	In Barcelona today, elation.
	Separatists consider this the birth of their own independent state.
	It's a long time we're waiting for this moment.
	We deserve this.
	Why?
	The historic independence vote came in the Catalan Parliament.
	Opposition MPs would have none of it, some declaring their allegiance to Spain, then walking out.
	The nationalist majority still cast their ballots.
	Sí.
	Most voted sí, yes to independence.
	declaring themselves free from Spanish rule and marking the occasion with Catalonia's own national anthem.
	Separatist leader Carlos Puigdemont called on Catalans to maintain the peace, public spirit, and dignity, as we've always done, he said.
	U-N-E!
	U-N-E!
	You know what that sounds like?
	That little chant there?
	USA. USA. No, it's done, he said.
	Huga chaka!
	Huga chaka!
	I can't stop this!
	You don't hear huga chaka?
	I hear USA. USA. The police cracked down on the disputed independence referendum October 1st, still fresh in the minds of many.
	Enough for some to fear how Madrid will respond this time.
	It's not a question of will.
	At a certain point, there will be an incident, and then that could trigger a serious confrontation, and nobody knows what can happen.
	So far, the government's answer has been peaceful but unprecedented.
	The Senate authorized Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to impose direct rule, stripping Catalonia of its regional powers, a move never tested since Spain regained democracy.
	Tonight, the Prime Minister started wielding that new power.
	Les informes.
	I have dissolved the Parliament of Catalonia and called elections in that region for December 21st, he announced.
	The Catalan president has been sacked.
	So too has the regional police chief.
	But in Barcelona...
	The party continues.
	A day of political fireworks is giving way to an uncertain future.
	So it's really bizarre.
	We can watch one news channel and you'll see people partying, fireworks, and they're like, yeah, we're independent.
	We did it.
	We did it, everybody.
	Smoke them out.
	We got them.
	And then you've got the government saying, alright, you're fired, and you're not the government anymore, I don't know what your problem is, but it's not happening.
	So this is going to, I think, come to a head.
	I would like to play the My Catalonian PBS rundown, which I think is actually superior to wherever you got that thing from.
	The crisis over secession in Spain's Catalonia region came to a head today in its capital, Barcelona.
	The regional parliament declared independence, and the national government then declared direct rule over the region.
	Jonathan Rugman of Independent Television News reports from Barcelona.
	This morning a crowd of several thousand gathered outside the Catalonian Parliament pressurising MPs inside to vote for the independence they've been dreaming of and following their every move.
	Adding to that pressure dozens of rebel mayors from across the region bringing their staffs of office but all too aware they could lose that authority when direct rule is imposed.
	If we have to disobey, we will do it.
	You could be arrested, couldn't you?
	Yes.
	Sent to jail.
	Everybody can be arrested.
	They can't arrest our hearts.
	In the chamber, opposition MPs tried to keep talking, but it didn't work.
	Three parties walked out, shouting long live Catalonia and long live Spain.
	Si.
	No.
	The vote was 70 in favour of independence and just 10 against, with two abstentions.
	Amid all the batslapping here in the Catalonian Parliament, the applause, the sense of history in the making, what these MPs have effectively done is take this region over a political precipice into the unknown.
	But look at these Catalonian mayors waving their ceremonial staffs with delight and shouting for a freedom which Spain's leaders and Spain's constitution had refused to bestow.
	As the news broke outside, a crowd of many thousands joined in the celebrations.
	If there still is a majority in favour of Spanish rule, it had stayed away.
	And it didn't take long for the Senate in Madrid to vote for direct rule, and for the Spanish Prime Minister to move towards imposing it.
	The aim is to insist on taking back legality, and therefore I want to tell Spaniards and all Catalans to be calm, that things will be fine and will be measured as they have been up until now.
	It's kind of the same information.
	I don't know why it was superior.
	I think it was far superior.
	Well, then I'm going to top you with this.
	This is certainly uncharted territory for both Spain and Catalonia, and stakes are high.
	Catalonia makes up one-fifth of Spain's GDP, but the European Union says it won't recognize its independence.
	Some companies are already spooked by secession fears.
	This month, more than 1,500 businesses moved their headquarters out of Catalonia so that they can continue to operate under EU laws.
	Ruh-roh.
	That was a topper.
	Now a couple of things.
	I was thinking about this and it's like what's the point of any of this?
	And then I began to realize it, but what we had in Spain, which was a number of kind of provinces, quasi-countries that were united some time ago, brought together in the middle of the country in an unreal kind of a created capital, Madrid, which really has none of the earmarks of a capital city traditionally.
	You know, it's not hooked to a major waterway.
	It's smelly, too.
	Yeah, I find it dirty and smiley.
	That's the time of year.
	So, I'm looking at this, and then when Franco got in, he just imposed kind of an iron fist on the whole country to make sure that nothing would revert, which it would tend to do, and I'm looking at this as a version of a more new version of Yugoslavia.
	Yeah.
	Except there's not...
	And the Czech Republic, for that matter.
	But there's no religious component, is there?
	Well, there's a...
	Well, it's mostly Catholic, but there's some...
	There was a religious component, obviously, years ago when the Moors took over the southern part of the country.
	They do have a separate culture down there, the south.
	So it's mostly just cultural.
	And I don't think that the...
	The reason, for example, the religious component was major in Yugoslavia, but it seemed to be more of a cultural, ethnic thing than religious.
	Ethnic, maybe.
	That would be more fair.
	Well, the Catalonians consider themselves...
	I don't...
	You go there, it's a bunch of Spaniards who go to an American, but...
	But if it is a cycle like that, then what we did last time, I believe President Bill Clinton sent an ICBM over, didn't he?
	We bombed the crap out of them.
	Yeah, didn't we send a little present?
	For some unknown reason.
	Yeah.
	Gee, I don't know.
	Well, something like that could happen.
	But that the EU is not going to recognize them.
	That's a downer.
	That's a day wrecker.
	I thought that they said some time back that they would recognize it.
	No, no, no.
	That was Junker.
	And he said, no, I said, I don't see why we wouldn't.
	Remember, he tried to pull it back.
	Like, oh, I'm sorry.
	I didn't quite mean it that way.
	Everyone was all in a tizzy.
	And the fact that the GDP has actually moved out.
	I don't know which companies, but 1,500 companies moved out.
	That's not a good sign.
	Yeah, I did not know that.
	Yeah.
	That would hurt the economy.
	And by the way, it's not like you get a lot of...
	They probably do not have a viable economy with that happening.
	No.
	And you don't get a lot of that on the European TV either.
	You really have to watch...
	There's a good...
	In the hotel, they have France 24, which I do like that.
	It's a good channel.
	But everything...
	Even CNN International is all about Mueller.
	Trump.
	CNN International.
	I don't like CNN International that much.
	It used to be great.
	Back in the day of Holly Galani.
	Remember her?
	Holly Galani?
	No.
	There's also...
	I have a little Brexit update, which is still kind of in the back of people's minds.
	Well, Brexit talks are not going well.
	The UK is threatening to walk away from the EU without a new trade deal.
	And the EU wants the UK to pay a huge divorce bill as it leaves.
	So let's get an update from NPR's...
	I love this divorce meme.
	It's nothing like a divorce meme.
	It's not like a divorce.
	It's not like a divorce, yeah.
	A divorce implies alimony, you're splitting up assets.
	I don't think it's a very good one.
	We didn't say we're married when the European Union came together, did we?
	Not that I recall.
	Divorce implies you were in love at one point.
	I guess maybe that's what I'm saying.
	I don't know.
	I just find it odd for any journos.
	They're grasping for some analogy, and that's the one they picked.
	Well, I don't like it.
	As it leaves, so let's get an update from NPR's Frank Langfitt.
	He's in Cornwall, in the far west of England.
	Who gets custody of the chunnel in the divorce?
	Who gets custody of Cornwall?
	Do they have to split the channel?
	Does France get one part and the UK gets the other part?
	Isn't it privately owned?
	I think so.
	He's in Cornwall in the far west of England.
	And Frank, I have to say, there hasn't been much progress in these negotiations.
	So what's the problem?
	Well, it's complicated, but the big issue, which you were alluding to earlier, is money at the moment.
	The UK is scheduled to leave in 2019, leave the EU. The EU wants Britain to pay off all of the commitments that it made to the EU budget through 2020.
	It doesn't want to talk about a new trade deal for the UK until there's an agreement on a figure.
	Now, neither side's publicly said exactly what their number is.
	The reports are that the UK is offering around $23 billion US. The EU wants apparently a lot more, maybe as much as $70 billion.
	Some members of the ruling Conservative Party here in the UK are threatening not to pay the bill, walk away, and give up a future trade deal with the EU. Okay, well, if they did that, though, I mean, the EU market represents more than half a billion people.
	I mean, wouldn't the economic impact be enormous on the EU? Well, most economists do think that in the end, a lot of businesses here and consumers would pay.
	What would happen is trade with the EU would then fall to World Trade Organization rules.
	And so basically, the UK would give up all of these great trade advantages that they've enjoyed for decades.
	Economists figured that there'd be significant price increases for imports in fruits, vegetables, pork and beef.
	And if you talk to the London School of Economics, they're saying over a decade, trade with the EU, which is right now, of course, the largest trading partner, would fall by about 40%.
	So generally, this would be seen as a big self-inflicted wound.
	Yeah, I think they're gearing up for a do-over.
	I already heard Tony Blair was saying we should vote again.
	Maybe people's minds have changed, a little more fair now that we have more information.
	Of course they are.
	What have I been saying since day one?
	Oh yes, this has been a no agenda prediction since they did it the first time with the Lisbon Treaty.
	We know what's up.
	Yeah, they're not going to put up with this, but they're going to...
	This is a little...
	This is interesting because I think what you're witnessing is exactly what you said, which is, look at all this new information that's come to light, man.
	Nothing really.
	However, the EU is very busy.
	There's a little trial balloon going around.
	What would become the new financial center if Brexit does take place?
	Because, of course, it can't be London anymore.
	And these fools are really pushing for Frankfurt.
	Yes, I noticed this.
	They always try for Frankfurt.
	I guess Frankfurt Airport kind of did beat out all the rest in Europe.
	Aren't they kind of like the hub that everyone really goes to?
	It's pretty close to the hub of Europe.
	Yeah.
	So they do have the infrastructure, certainly with technology, but Frankfurt, man.
	When's the last time you were in Frankfurt?
	Well, I've flown into Frankfurt...
	Endless, or numerous times, because it's a hub.
	Yeah.
	But getting into Frankfurt and floating around, I really haven't been floating around the town, as it were, for probably 20 years.
	It's like, you know, imagine Brussels without the history.
	So 20 years ago, I would say it's worse than it is now.
	Nah, it's modernized, but it has no soul.
	Frankfurt, yeah, soulless.
	Soulless Frankfurt.
	It's known for nothing.
	You've got a nice train station.
	Ah, get on the train, everybody.
	Remember?
	remember?
	That's costly.
	So that's what people are talking about.
	The Netherlands finally has a new cabinet.
	It was eight months after their election.
	And I predict this thing will fall within a year.
	Everything's changed.
	Globalism is really not working anymore.
	The New World Order is falling apart when you see Brexit, Spexit, Belgexit, whatever exits do we have?
	French fry exit, French exit.
	Everybody wants out.
	They want out of their own little countries within the country, or they want their own countries to be independent.
	It really is just, everything's a little chink in the arm of the New World Order, or the New World Order ideas, let's put it that way.
	Well, good.
	Yeah, that's what we want.
	The new guy was going to work, as far as I'm concerned.
	If you think those guys are going to give up easy, you've got another thing coming.
	Yes, okay.
	I agree.
	Alright, so what else do we have?
	What do you have for clips besides the ones you just played?
	I have a number of things.
	I got a little bit on the JFK. I got a little bit on Russia.
	How could you not?
	Oh, I found...
	Yeah, go ahead.
	I was just thinking we should do the JFK thing and get it out of the way because it's probably the more interesting of the...
	I have only seen a few things and I haven't had the opportunity to really delve into what has been released, which, as we know, is not really all the goodies.
	What you got?
	I knew a lot of this stuff.
	I have some documents, but I have to say ABC, which I have to run down, pretty much summarized everything you'd need to know.
	Hopefully I got the clip on here.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Long Kennedy docs clip.
	This is a good clip.
	Sorry.
	I'm sorry, it's just a little long.
	Okay.
	Inside the JFK files, finally released, and there are still many to come.
	But in the documents already, new intrigue and new questions tonight.
	Among them, an unconfirmed tip to a British newspaper minutes before the shooting.
	And after Lee Harvey Oswald was killed, the memo from the FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and his concern, writing that the U.S. must believe Oswald acted alone.
	ABC's chief national correspondent Tom Yamas was at the archives when the files were released.
	Tonight, President Trump getting caught up in his own JFK conspiracy after deciding not to release all the documents tied to the assassination.
	This isn't Poop Guy, is it?
	Who is this?
	No, no, this is Tom Yamas.
	This is the guy...
	Yamas is also talking a bit...
	ABC has a lot of guys that talk like that, and then we have to remember there's a third model of this, which is the guy who's kind of talking like that, but he's shouting.
	Why am I shouting at this weird voice?
	He's kind of in between.
	AFK conspiracy.
	After deciding not to release...
	He sounds like a surfer.
	He's like the surfer to me.
	Yeah, it's a conspiracy.
	Amen.
	His chief national correspondent, Tom Yamas, was at the archives when the files were released.
	Tonight, President Trump getting caught up in his own JFK conspiracy after deciding not to release all the documents tied to the assassination.
	Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican, calling it ridiculous, tweeting CIA wants further cover-up.
	POTUS, stop.
	The president's decision coming after an appeal from the CIA and the FBI that releasing certain files could put the lives of some of our spies in danger.
	Among the secret files, an unconfirmed tip that on the same day of the assassination...
	Cambridge News, a paper in England, received a mysterious call instructing a reporter to call the American Embassy in London for some big news.
	That alleged call came 25 minutes before Kennedy was shot.
	Two days later, assassin Lee Harvey Oswald killed on live television.
	There is Lee Oswald.
	He's been shot.
	Did he really say that?
	Was the term conspiracy theories already a fact?
	When Hoover was in?
	I hadn't seen the memo, but I believe so, yeah.
	Huh.
	Okay.
	An FBI memo, Director J. Edgar Hoover outraged, calling that shooting inexcusable, fearing it will feed conspiracy theories, and saying he wants something issued so that we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin.
	And other documents show investigators ruling out potential collaborators.
	A House committee draft memo dismisses Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, saying the risk would not have been worth it.
	But the documents do show how the CIA was trying to kill Castro, with methods crazier than anything in a James Bond film.
	From using a ballpoint pen with a poison needle, to gifting Castro, an avid diver, a tuberculosis-contaminated wetsuit, and even wanting to place what they call a booby-trapped spectacular seashell set to blow apart when it was lifted from the ocean floor.
	We knew all this.
	How was this news?
	I didn't know about a couple of these things.
	We knew about the poison pans, exploding cigars they don't mention.
	I didn't know about the contaminated, the story behind the contaminated swimsuit, not swimsuit, but wetsuit, was that the guy, I guess he was the CIA, got to know Castro so well, he thought he didn't deserve such a death, so he didn't go through with it.
	I find this completely uninteresting.
	Why is this being reported?
	This is all we got.
	...set to blow apart when it was lifted from the ocean floor.
	Just incredible.
	And it turns out that seashell plan was abandoned because they couldn't find the shell big enough.
	We kid you not tonight.
	Tom Yama's back with us live this evening.
	And Tom, along with the files, the questions tonight for the Trump administration about why the president promised repeatedly in tweets all of the documents would be released.
	You know, they had 25 years to plan for the due date in Washington.
	It's not just the Trump administration, but they're the ones who tweeted out saying it's all coming.
	Why the delay?
	Well, the White House is citing national security concerns.
	They did release 2,800 documents overnight.
	And we know that at least 18,000 records from the CIA are still being guarded.
	Some of those documents will be released over the next six months.
	And President Trump tweeting just this morning, it's his hope to get about almost everything out to the public.
	David, still more to come.
	Tom Yamas, our thanks to you again tonight.
	Oh, geez.
	Okay, here's what I think's going on.
	Trump looked over this stuff and said, hey, there's some good stuff in here.
	And then showed it to the CIA guys and said, I don't think you want this released.
	Maybe you should do something for me.
	Maybe you should get off my back.
	Yeah, maybe you should do something for me.
	Yeah, get off my back.
	That's what they should do for him.
	And so we have, let's see what happens if things start to calm down and so far as all the, you know, go after Hillary like you've been doing.
	I completely concur.
	And I'll add one thing to that.
	There is a little bit of, I think, respect involved.
	I'm just guessing.
	And I think it's Well, there's a thin line between brave and brazen, what Trump is doing.
	Look, there's only one spy that could be compromised, and the whole reason for these files to be held back so long is there's no expectation that the final guy who was involved would be alive.
	And until George H.W. Bush kicks the bucket, they won't release these files.
	He was supposed to be dead by now.
	And he's the only guy in the whole damn world who does not remember where he was on the day Kennedy got killed.
	When there's pictures of him in Dallas.
	Yeah, it's funny.
	I just don't remember where I was.
	Please.
	By the way, I thought this release of all these documents would have something to do with Addison's disease or something.
	I have not looked at him, so I'm looking forward to it.
	I've looked around.
	I've not found any of that.
	But since you mentioned George W. Bush, they did...
	I mentioned H.W. George H.W. Bush.
	You know, he's turned out to be one of the offenders in the groping sexual harassment thing.
	What is it?
	The media men?
	What was the hashtag?
	I don't know.
	Jerk off media men?
	That's the...
	The spreadsheet that's going around.
	The spreadsheet that nobody has seen.
	Yeah, the pervy media men, whatever it is.
	Yeah, he's on that list.
	He's on the list.
	They've got him, you know, they cover it a little bit.
	But for some reason, democracy now covers it very nicely with some funny material.
	And I'm reminded of the, if you remember the old Laugh-In show, it's probably before your time.
	Well, they always had already, what's his name, would have an old man sitting on a bench with a cane and the girl would go by and lift up her dress from behind.
	To me is what we're dealing with here with some of these guys.
	Back in the day, yeah, back in the day, that's what we did.
	Some of the old men want to kind of say, well, that'd be great when you're at Let's play this clip and get back for a good couple of laughs.
	Former President George H.W. Bush has apologized for repeatedly groping women after being accused of sexual assault by two actresses.
	Actress Heather Lynn said when she met the president in 2014, quote, he touched me from behind from his wheelchair.
	He told me a dirty joke, then all the while being photographed, touch me again.
	Actress Jordana Grolnick then also accused the former president of groping her during a photo in 2016, saying, quote, He reached his right hand around to my behind, and as we smiled for the photo, he asked the group, Do you want to know who my favorite magician is?
	As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, David, cop a feel, unquote.
	In response to the accusations, Bush's spokesperson said, quote, to try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke, and on occasion he's patted women's rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner.
	Some have seen it as innocent, others clearly view it as inappropriate.
	To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely.
	Unquote.
	All right.
	No, no, no, no, no, just stop, just stop, just stop.
	I had read that quote, but I hadn't actually seen or heard a clip, so outstanding.
	Now, here is the thing that I was thinking about.
	I'm thinking, why does this show up in Democracy Now?
	That is the no agenda way of thinking.
	And the reason it's not showing up, because it's funny, if I'm a news editor and I get the David Copperfield, I mean, come on!
	So, but it's not showing up on the networks or anything, you know, PBS, this material is just not there.
	It's because it takes away from the Trump attacking.
	Oh, of course.
	Anything that takes away from Trump is a problem.
	That's exactly why it's so refreshing to be in Europe for a minute.
	You get some different news.
	So you get to...
	You got this old fart, you know, is grabbing girls' butts, grabbing, actually doing the grabbing in public, and then doing semi-lewd jokes like David Kopp, this guy's not lewd, but a semi-lewd, Kopp-a-feel.
	Trump is, it's like, that really takes the pressure off of Trump, because Trump's just a big talker now that he's grabbing anybody.
	He's just a big blowhard like most men.
	And so this is not, doesn't fit the, and I had to use the word, the narrative.
	Yes, the N word.
	It doesn't fit the narrative.
	And so you can't tell this story on the networks.
	I think it's a funny...
	It's a great story.
	It's a great story, and it's very funny, but it lightens...
	It makes it too...
	It's just, no, no, no, we can't have this.
	Instead, we have people like Jackie Speier, and I don't know if I got this clip on here or not, but on the...
	Sex, sex, arousers update, Democracy Now!
	Yeah, play this as a sex harassment.
	Jackie Spears, the congressman from, I think she's from San Mateo, and she's in Congress, and she's bitching about sex harassment, and listen to what she says.
	Back here at home and new fallout amid the national discussion over sexual harassment.
	California Congresswoman Jackie Speier now saying there should be a hashtag MeTooCongress added to the list, speaking out about sexual harassment on Capitol Hill, describing her personal experience with sexual assault as a young staffer, and urging other women on the Hill to share their own stories.
	I know what it's like years later to remember that rush of humiliation and anger.
	You know what?
	Many of us in Congress know what it's like.
	Because Congress has been a breeding ground for a hostile work environment for far too long.
	The congresswoman says the protocols in Congress when it comes to sexual harassment are, quote, a joke.
	And she's introducing legislation because right now sexual harassment training is not mandatory.
	And Congress has its own law dictating how to handle complaints.
	Let me just see if this is the clip from Kellyanne Conway.
	She was talking about that.
	She has asked.
	And I think a lot of this stems from the fact that there just seems to be charge and accusation after charge and accusation that somehow President...
	No, maybe that's not it.
	Remember that she was talking about when she was a staffer on the Hill and they said it was horrible and everybody knows that Congress...
	I'm talking six months ago.
	Yeah, I remember that.
	It was a while back.
	It was before the sexual harassment.
	Yes.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, it was before that.
	Yeah.
	But it was basically the same thing.
	A bunch of horndogs in Congress.
	Away from home, you know.
	So you have a Jackie Speier come out and saying, people and the women, it was horrible.
	She goes out and says, women should be speaking up and telling it, like, say what happens.
	She never names names.
	Why doesn't she name names?
	I'm saddened by it.
	This is the time where everybody can do exactly that.
	Let's get it all out on the table.
	All in one go.
	Just go.
	Rip the band-aid off.
	No.
	If you're not mentioning names, just shut up.
	I'm getting of that opinion.
	If you're not going to...
	Just vague accusations.
	It's a broad brush.
	It's like now you're smearing all men.
	Well, we suck.
	It's a smear.
	It's a total smear.
	Yes.
	So let's catch up with the sexual harassment update.
	This is Democracy Now's version.
	NBC's senior political analyst, journalist Mark Halperin, has announced he's stepping back from his job after five women accused him of sexually harassing them when he was ABC's top political journalist.
	Meanwhile, the publisher of Art Forum magazine has resigned after nine women sued him for sexual harassment.
	Knight Landsman served as Art Forum's publisher for more than 30 years and was a major player in the international art world.
	Following the revelations, Art Forum's editor-in-chief also resigned.
	In recent days, a slew of men have resigned or been blacklisted in the wake of sexual harassment accusations, including high-profile photographer Terry Richardson, celebrity chef John Besch, influential tech industry figure Robert Scoble, and Amazon Studios programming chief Roy Price. influential tech industry figure Robert Scoble, and Amazon Studios programming
	All this comes after dozens of women came forward to accuse now-disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault, and rape, ending the career of one of Hollywood's most powerful men.
	I was amused by that report.
	Yeah, you know, Scoble is...
	Did you read his apology post?
	It was lame.
	Yeah, very weak.
	Hey, I got it.
	Before we do anything, I got a sexual harassment clip.
	Like a violent, violent sexual harassment in Ireland that was reported on.
	Happening as we speak.
	From County Mayo, was in Dublin for the All-Ireland Final when the alleged incident occurred.
	Whilst chatting with friends on Talbot Street, he was suddenly struck on the buttocks.
	Upon turning around, he saw the accused, Robert Montague of Bram Stoker Crescent, whom he said had adopted a martial arts pose.
	Mr Montague was heard to say, what are you bleeding looking at?
	But before an answer could be given, the accused kicked the plaintiff in the chin.
	Knocking him backwards into a shopping trolley.
	Mr Montague then pushed the trolley in the direction of Amien Street.
	Upon reaching Connolly Station, he removed the cowboy hat the plaintiff was wearing and urinated in it before placing it back on his head.
	The plaintiff said of the experience, It friken the shite out of me altogether, Lord Jesus.
	For his part, Mr Montague told the court, Them coaches is always here, all over the place, like cattle they are.
	Smell a shite of them.
	The case continues.
	They don't mess around, man.
	Wow.
	Just take your hat and piss in it and put it back on your head.
	Wow.
	Ah, good.
	That's a good story.
	That was Irish.
	I can get a borderline clip of the day because it's so screwy.
	This is crazy.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I got a borderliner?
	Yeah, why not?
	Oh, thank you.
	Accepted.
	Yeah, those Irish.
	So did you read Ronan's latest in The New Yorker?
	No, no.
	What did he write?
	Well, he's just getting, he's piling on.
	Okay, this is the other shoe, Ronan's other shoe.
	Ronan's other show.
	It doesn't have anything to do with Hillary.
	No, it's Ronan's other show.
	He's got a couple other women and other women who, in the first report, said, no, I don't have nothing.
	No, no, no.
	Came back and said, oh, now that it's broken.
	Women.
	It's like, now that it's broken loose because the dam has burst, I'm going to come back and tell you what really happened.
	And I got raped.
	Holy shit.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me just understand what you said.
	So the women he already interviewed, some of them said, now that everyone's talking about it, he really raped me.
	Yeah.
	The same women who said that he did horrible things, now they're saying he raped them.
	Well, that's like one element, but there's about five elements in the article.
	And one is the upgrade of the complaints, which would include the rape, and the notion that he's really a rapist.
	Well, then he can go to jail.
	Then he can really just go to jail.
	Yeah, well, if they can, you know, pull, yeah.
	And then there's other, if you start looking at the Rose McGowan stuff, it's very interesting.
	She's really a, she got screwed over.
	I can see why she's irked.
	Because there's another article written by Robert Rodriguez, the director, who did Grindhouse with Tarantino and knew about the situation in 2007, I believe, knew about the situation with Weinstein that far back, and put McGowan in a movie specifically to burn him, and he seemed to be okay with it, but then, according to Rodriguez, once the publicity came out, it was limp.
	And he just screwed over the movie, so he didn't win anyway.
	And it was very interesting.
	She has got a...
	She has...
	If you look at her career, even though she's always worked, but not steadily, she really got screwed over.
	She got raped.
	Damn.
	And...
	Yeah, it was just a very interesting situation.
	Well, I'm...
	It's a completely weird...
	I actually found this thing, it's almost like she metamorphoses on this show.
	Ah, she's a shapeshifter.
	Well, she's a shape...
	Changes her mind and changes her way of looking at life shifter in a very odd way.
	I think this is just like a...
	To anyone out there who studies sociology, they'll recognize this phenomenon where the situation...
	Your society defines you and makes you do things and think the way you think because it's not you actually being original, it's you being shaped by society, which is what sociology studies.
	And it's almost like she's doing it right in front of her very eyes.
	It's a little long, but it's very educational.
	...for change.
	We're continuing our own series of discussions with women across American society and with differing perspectives.
	Tonight we hear from one of the most prominent women calling the shots in television filmmaking.
	Sheila Nevins is the president of HBO Documentary Films and has greenlit more than 1,000 films over three decades.
	Before that, she worked at ABC, CBS, and PBS. She's also the author of the new book, You Don't Look Your Age and other fairy tales.
	I spoke with her earlier today.
	Sheelan Evans, thank you for talking with us.
	Thank you for having me.
	Were you surprised by the Harvey Weinstein revelations?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	You had dealt with him professionally?
	Yes.
	I was not surprised in any way by temperament or anger or a certain kind of language, but I was surprised by the physical stories, the stories of sexual, physical abuse.
	I really was surprised.
	What have you known of sexual harassment in this industry?
	You know, I'm old.
	I grew up...
	The rules of the game were different.
	I didn't know...
	I really didn't know that I wasn't to be touched and manhandled.
	I finally understand the meaning of the word.
	I didn't really know what that was.
	I thought to succeed...
	I had to be somewhat seductive and complicit.
	So I would argue that in the 60s, when I got out of Yale, when I got out of school and I wanted a job, I think I was not abused because I was active, sexually, and complicit.
	I now have sort of reformed all that because I realized what I considered to be acceptable was really abuse.
	And I recovered Because I want a job so badly.
	But now I feel everything's out of hand and that there is just, it's enough.
	It's enough and women have to be together.
	I didn't have any women to go to.
	I didn't have anyone to cry to.
	But now I think when you cry together you make a louder noise and I feel like I'm happy to add my voice.
	Did you feel or did you know there were other women going through the same thing when you were?
	No.
	Because when I began in this business, there were very few women in the business, so there was no way that I would know.
	It was a man's world, and the only way...
	I didn't...
	No, I didn't know.
	I didn't know.
	Huh.
	As they say, a lot to unpack here.
	Yes, quite a bit.
	What's her name?
	Oh, I can't remember.
	It's something...
	Go back, it's right at the beginning.
	I just want to look her up for a second.
	Sheila Nevins.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Sheila Nevins.
	Did you look her job?
	No, I didn't.
	I was more fascinated by this.
	Well, I'd like to know what she was doing when she was complicit.
	I heard her say she used her sexuality and thought that was how the game was played.
	Very honest.
	Well, that's how the game was played.
	The game is played differently.
	If it's a game at all.
	And so you end up with a situation that she's older than both of us by a lot.
	She's 78.
	She looks good.
	So she started at the children's television workshop.
	She had to sleep with someone to get into the children's television workshop?
	That would be the implication.
	And she was a research producer for The Great American Dream Machine, another children's program.
	There were sexual predators on these shows.
	Apparently.
	The National Education Television.
	Hmm.
	It also sounds...
	I'm glad you had us look this up, because now that you mentioned it, I can see why that wasn't brought up on the PBS. Yep.
	There you go.
	These are PBS programs, aren't they?
	Little Red Schoolhouse...
	Jeez.
	What else?
	Salesman?
	Albert?
	No.
	Then she got it to ABC. And 2020?
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	Here's her Emmy Awards.
	Outstanding Children's Program.
	Outstanding Informational Special.
	All Children, Children, Children, Children, Children.
	Holy moly.
	It's like dozens.
	Dozens and dozens of Emmys.
	Hmm.
	Well, that's very interesting.
	Yeah.
	Well, what I got out of it was the...
	She admits to screwing her way to the top.
	And maybe she's doing this...
	Maybe the transition that we clearly heard...
	If a guy was doing that...
	In fact, I've heard many guys, the president included...
	But who was it who said, well, I grew up in, was it Weinstein himself?
	Yeah.
	You know, the game was different.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's kind of like, that's how it was, that's how it went down.
	Now, she's saying the exact same thing.
	She's corroborating that, Brave.
	But, you know, I know better now.
	Is something about to come out about her?
	Well, she, I doubt it.
	She is of the, from her age, she was born in 39, so she is really more of the Mad Men era.
	Late 50s, early 60s.
	As opposed to the hippie.
	She's not a hippie.
	By the way, Mad Men should have to give all its Emmys back.
	Yes.
	I mean, the show was built on male misogyny and male stereotypes.
	Horrible.
	We cannot like it anymore.
	We should hate it.
	We should boycott the show to start.
	And they should wind up giving their Emmys back.
	I was thinking there's a number of shows you can isolate and say that about.
	If we're going to start going after Confederate generals and all the rest of everything that has anything to do with the past, or I guess some church is trying to get rid of some George Washington guy, I have that clip.
	Interesting you mention it.
	The church that George Washington himself attended, there's a pew there, and the pews were different quite then.
	There were almost boxes where people would be.
	There's a plaque in there that this is where he and his family sat.
	Well, Christ Church in Virginia is now taking issue with it and saying the plaque must come down in George Washington's own church.
	Here's what Christ Church said in a statement.
	They said, the plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome.
	Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return.
	Many in our congregation feel a strong need for the church to stand clearly on the side of all are welcome.
	No exceptions. - I don't feel safe. - I don't feel safe here, man.
	I don't feel safe.
	I'm sitting in George Washington's pew.
	Pew, pew.
	Pew, pew.
	Unbelievable.
	No.
	So if we're going to start going down this road, which we've started going down, I mean, ironically, Bill Cosby was one of these types of guys who was a revisionist before he was busted as a creep.
	He went out of his way to get hold of every single recording of Amos and Andy that he could find to destroy.
	Why?
	Because he saw Amos and Andy as an extremely racist show.
	Well, it's not racist, it's stereotype.
	Like Sanford and Son, he should have gotten a hold of that too.
	I would say yes.
	And the Jeffersons.
	And the Jeffersons.
	I would say anything with black people in it.
	Let's get rid of it.
	Hey, wait a minute.
	We're getting rid of all the black people shows.
	Something's wrong with this picture.
	And I always thought that was like, why?
	How about the Little Rascals?
	Well, there was a black kid in there that was being stereotyped.
	So get rid of that.
	Get rid of everything.
	Just turn off your TV. Get rid of...
	Red Fox?
	What's that show with...
	I can't remember.
	The two guys who drove around.
	The Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag.
	Oh, Starsky and Hutch.
	No, no, not Star Trek.
	Oh, you mean Star Trek?
	Yes, the General Lee, Dukes of Hazzard.
	Yeah, Dukes of Hazzard.
	That show is done.
	So there goes all your residuals.
	Well, that's sad because you know that Daisy Duke, do you remember that she was married to Michael Jackson's lawyer who shot himself in his backyard just before all the money got stolen?
	Yeah, she was married.
	He's still married to him, but he shot himself.
	He shot himself.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Well, yeah, that's what's happening.
	So this revisionism thing is...
	I don't see it's going to go...
	This pendulum is really swinging a long ways over, and I find it fascinating.
	Well, we can take advantage of this.
	If you now can revise your own history...
	I mean, we might want to consider, you know, I need to revise that I edited my own wiki page, and you could probably revise that damn mouse quote.
	I mean, there's got to be a way for us to get benefit out of this.
	The thing is, the mouse quote was bogus.
	Yeah, and with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John, see where the C stands for.
	Cosby is a revisionist.
	Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships are sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Yes, in the morning to everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Thank you all for coming in this morning and checking everything out, although it is evening here in the lowlands, 6.30 p.m.
	And I'd also like to say in the morning to, hold on, here we are, Greg Davies.
	Greg is the artist who brought us the artwork for our 10th anniversary show, No Agenda X Big X. We liked it because it was X for 10, X for the iPhone X, always good for SEO, and the subtitle was the longest podcast in the universe, and that was just factually correct.
	So we thought his art would be great, and we used that.
	There was other art we considered, and we really do appreciate it.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	With the politicians holding up the 10th anniversary.
	Yeah, you used to use them in the newsletter.
	Yeah, you did use them.
	Now, see, the newsletter...
	That was good news.
	I'm sorry I missed it.
	I was traveling when you sent it out, the newsletter.
	Yeah.
	For revisions.
	So I could be revisionist.
	But there were other funny things.
	Did you use the...
	No, I guess not.
	The podcast overdose kit...
	No, I should have, though.
	Yeah, there were a couple of good ones.
	Podcast Overdose Kid was good.
	And before we do anything, I really want to take a minute to thank Eric The Shill, who has been running our back office, and it's really...
	It really is a thankless job, not just because John and I are mean to him, but because, you know, the data is just not structured.
	PayPal data, checks, you know, stuff that's coming.
	Yeah, the whole thing's a mess.
	It's a mess.
	We're running the show off of Squirrel Mail and LibreOffice, and yeah, it's a mess.
	And so Eric and Mimi, you know, she does our taxes.
	Yeah.
	But Eric deals with this twice a week, and I really want to thank him, especially for the work he has been doing for the past couple of weeks on the 10th anniversary show.
	But he's pretty consistent.
	It's there, and that's all you want from an employee.
	Well, he's more of a partner.
	I'm just joking.
	There's a lot of...
	We do have a lot of nightings today.
	We have one more until next week.
	Until Thursday, we're continuing this offer.
	And it has to come back down closer to normal except for the huge number of nights that we have listed today.
	And I was thinking about this, by the way, for later.
	I want to make a kind of a...
	Programming note?
	I want to have a meeting.
	Right now?
	Yeah.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Let's make sure the meeting's in progress.
	Okay.
	I think, because of the...
	I've noticed this, that you have to...
	Do the knightings before you do the title upgrades as opposed to the other way around, which is the way you've been doing it, because people are donating and upgrading in the donation as a knight, and so you're upgrading them before they even become knights with the order that you do it in.
	Okay, so what you're saying is I need to do the titles after the...
	Knightings.
	Okay.
	I have switched it up just to make it entertaining, but I never considered that part.
	Yeah, otherwise it makes no sense.
	Okay.
	All those in favor say aye.
	Aye.
	Aye.
	Okay, meeting adjourned.
	Good.
	That's how you run a company, ladies and gentlemen.
	Learn something from the best here, people.
	As a matter of fact, that is how you do it.
	Sadly, it's not how most do it.
	No.
	Okay, well, let's thank a few people for today's show.
	We're going to...
	We also have meetings where, you know, in fact, recently I said, I'm just calling my veto on this.
	And you were like, okay, done.
	It's because we both agreed that vetoes...
	Veto is a veto.
	Because I've done it to you.
	Yeah, veto.
	It's just veto.
	That means that basically it's, I'm smarter than you today at this moment, and you're going to agree with me.
	Like, okay.
	That's how you do meetings, people.
	I will say this.
	That all the vetoes that you've ever called are very petty.
	Okay.
	We won't talk about...
	Have I ever argued about an edit?
	That you wanted?
	Now that we're talking about it?
	No, no, I agree.
	Well, yeah, but that wasn't...
	You never...
	Right, you never have.
	And that's actually a plus.
	One of the things I should mention in this show, just so Mm-hmm.
	Is that occasionally something needs to be excised from the show.
	I can count it on...
	In 10 years, I can count it on 10 fingers.
	It's very few.
	But I'd say it happens about once every three months.
	Maybe.
	Okay.
	Maybe once every six months.
	It doesn't happen often because our approach to the show and for other podcasts, we have a lot that listen to the show.
	We really minimize post.
	Yeah, and that's mainly out of laziness.
	No, I don't think it's laziness.
	I think it's a structure.
	You want a structure to minimize post.
	It's not out of laziness, it's out of smartness.
	It's smarter to do it this way, not lazy.
	I agree.
	Because we do one thing in post, and post we're referring to, people don't know what we're talking about, is Post-production, after the show is over, what do you do?
	How much editing do you do?
	We do no editing.
	The show is live to tape.
	This will be on there.
	Everything will be on there, except we had a dropout.
	Yeah, I'll edit that to make it a little smoother.
	And he'll just edit that out.
	Unless it's funny.
	Unless it's funny, I'll leave it in.
	But it wasn't.
	It wasn't.
	Well, it's never that funny.
	No.
	And so the only post, the real post that we do, besides this occasional once-a-year excising of a small little item, Is that he looks for something funny in the show, within the show, to put at the beginning of the show, to add a little pizzazz.
	Yeah, a little opening quote.
	It's a little pizzazz.
	Usually John with a crazy voice.
	That's my favorite.
	Fan favorite.
	If I do a voice like this, do I get in on the beginning?
	Yeah, a little over the top.
	Good try, though.
	That was a try.
	So we minimize all that sort of thing, because we don't want to do posts.
	We want to get the show out.
	So that's why it gets posted so quickly, after the show is done.
	It's out within a half an hour.
	Yeah, in fact, if you ever work in M5M, and someone says, don't worry, we'll fix it in post, this is the sound you hear.
	Ugh.
	Everyone knows.
	It's costly.
	It takes time.
	It's never as good as if it was supposed to be done that way.
	Some shows can be done with...
	When I went to visit E! News recently, they do a...
	It's a type of straight-to-tape, but it's a cheating type where you go until you screw up and then you stop tape.
	Burn the tape.
	Burn the tape.
	It burned back to the point where you stop and then you start again.
	And then you stop and you start and you start and you start.
	And then when the thing's done, there's no post.
	But it's a lot of...
	It takes three times as long.
	And we do live on the wire because we stream it live so everybody can hear what was said if it wasn't the original show.
	Yes.
	So that is a benefit of listening live.
	Anyway, I vetoed this conversation.
	Taylor Kuzela starts our list of executive producers for show 977.
	Um...
	From Alpharetta, Georgia.
	Alpharetta.
	Alpharetta, Georgia.
	1149.01.
	I couldn't resist taking advantage of the donation doubling offer.
	I figured I was willing to give Apple $1,149 for a new phone tomorrow.
	I should be just as willing to donate that much plus a penny to the best podcast in the universe.
	Please knight me as Sir Taylor Knight of the Sin City Sinners.
	All right.
	Got the penny.
	Thank you.
	And probably a little F cancer there.
	Stop it!
	You've got karma.
	That was for Kathy Kasky in Las Vegas.
	Yes.
	We wanted to call out Black Knight, Scott, Baron of North Georgia, which is interesting because he's Alpharetta.
	Is that in North Georgia?
	Maybe a crossover here, $1,000.
	It says, from Black Knight, Scott Barron of North Georgia, here's for 10 more years.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	And JNK. JNK. Anonymous comes in with a check.
	JCD has note.
	Oh, I do.
	Here it is.
	It's a real note, you can tell.
	First time donors hoping to get on the twofer, and the twofer, that is to say two $500 remittances, one for me and one gifted.
	I was an advert fan of cranky geeks, but I just couldn't make the jump to that completely different, weird, jingly, no agenda show.
	That is until before the election, and now I'm hooked and hitting people in the mouth.
	So the election, besides costing us a number of listeners...
	Brought us some fresh meat.
	Brought us some fresh meat.
	And I should be trying to reclaim those listeners because I'm now on the Protecting Hillary camp.
	That's right.
	You started that on the last show on the 10th.
	You are all in for hills.
	And I'm saying this right now, is that the whole thing about this nuclear deal, they're trying to blast through this.
	This is old.
	Why didn't they go after it?
	It's very old.
	Yes.
	Four years old.
	Yeah.
	Okay, I'm just saying.
	Yeah, but the thing that's...
	Well, okay.
	So do you want sweatshirts, hoodies, t-shirts, I'm with her?
	I mean, should we really dress you up and really get a bumper sticker going for the...
	It's not a political thing.
	I'm just doing it because we deconstruct...
	It's not political.
	No, it's okay.
	I think it's very good.
	I'm not going to wear I'm with her.
	No, but the artwork will.
	I don't think so.
	As one who gave up on the M5M years ago, I'm continuing in this note.
	And did my own hunting for the truth.
	I have a linking of how much effort is required to research, never mind produce, two outstanding shows a week for ten years.
	Shows that seem to be getting better and better.
	Well, longer and longer, maybe.
	Thank you for your service and the value you provide.
	The check gets in on time or two for a gift.
	And we got you guys on the list, sir.
	Jimmer of Chesapeake and...
	Sir Martini of Virginia.
	Virginia?
	Okay, cool.
	I got it, I got it, I got it.
	We got some requests.
	He wants to living the mac and cheese life jingle.
	Humbly request a de-douching and generic karma for myself and Sir Jimmer.
	Would love to hear the Hillary laughing song at the end of the show.
	Okay, I'm going to have to see if I can find that.
	So just give them to me again, John, because I'm on the crippled system today.
	You got a de-douching and a mac and cheese life and karma.
	Okay, got it in the pocket.
	You've been de-douched.
	Oh, crap.
	I don't know, something's wrong.
	Hold on.
	I'm sorry.
	My mistake.
	It's okay.
	I hate it when that happens.
	I like to be professional.
	We'll try it again.
	We're the dedouching.
	What the heck?
	You've been dedouched.
	Living the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
	You've got karma.
	Yes.
	Got it.
	Okay.
	There we go.
	Brandon Trank.
	Or Trank.
	Tranquay.
	I don't know how you pronounce that, to be honest, but maybe he says it in here.
	In Vallejo, bankrupt Vallejo, California, right up the street for me, $9.99.
	Funemployed, which is unemployed with money.
	But when a producer calls you out, you gotta step up to the plate.
	Brian Berger from Fairfield PD put a shot across the bow last show, so I simply had to donate.
	I always consider myself part of the left dimension.
	But after traveling the world as a dude named Ben for the U.S. Navy for five years, I was far less sure.
	Then I came back to what seemed to be insanity.
	People calling each other Nazis, thinking it would allow them to punch them, or needing safe spaces.
	It was at this point I knew I couldn't hang with slaves.
	My biggest regret in life will be not writing in Harambee for President 2016 to show how big of a joke the election was.
	It was really depressing, but you guys give me hope that while I would turn the world off and on again, I could not.
	What?
	I would turn the world off and on again if I could.
	Not all is lost.
	Okay.
	Bless you.
	On my way out of California, I'd like to call out my housemate, Drew.
	Yes.
	Dig extra deep into the Vegas shooting.
	Okay, he wants to call him out.
	Now, calling him out doesn't mean necessarily calling him out as a douchebag.
	I have my finger on the button.
	Are you going to trigger me or what?
	He says he wants to call him out.
	He just said call out.
	Hey, Drew!
	Douchebag!
	Sorry.
	It's done.
	It's done now.
	Whatever.
	Dig extra deep into the Vegas shooting and even a small amount of research to tell people you could do that much damage with two guns and no bump fire stock.
	Keep up the amazing job, guys, because we have run out of news options, as you very well know.
	And I get the following jingles that introduce Ryan to your show.
	Don't eat me, Hillary.
	Two to the head.
	And then the Putin scream.
	Finish it off with some chemtrails and my new personal favorite.
	Okay, I gotta say something here.
	The goat scream is banned from this show.
	I think it annoyed so many people, mostly women, that I think we should ban it from this show and we'll reintroduce it next show.
	What can this be?
	This will be its swan song, then.
	Okay, then you can run at this one.
	Then 73's KK6WQA and 73's KK6LVT. Yes, 73's Keto5.
	Alpha Charlie Charlie!
	Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
	You've got Harma. .
	Okay.
	Now, are you calling veto or do you want me to agree?
	Because you just said this is banned.
	I want you to agree.
	I mean, I know you got this new karma goat.
	Yeah, I kind of like the karma goat.
	Okay, let's leave that in.
	It's just the gratuitous goat goat goat, which is my fault.
	Since I introduced it as a flaw.
	Okay, so service karma goat is acceptable still.
	Service karma goat.
	The karma goat, yeah.
	It's a service goat.
	It's not just a goat.
	It's a service goat.
	Yeah, be careful what you call my goat.
	Well, I'll get you a goat.
	Daniel Foster, 898.87 in Maynardsville, Texas.
	I'm just saying from Knoxville.
	Oh, okay.
	This should bring me to Barron.
	I'd like to negotiate protectorate of the Tennessee Valley or Smoky Mountains from Sir Dr.
	Sharkey.
	It's pretty much everything around me claimed.
	It's been a while since I donated, so I thought I'd take advantage of the promotion.
	Oh, thank you very much.
	I guess that'll work.
	Title upgrade today.
	Gabriel Romero, $800.85.
	This big boobs donation brings my wife Darcy and I both to the round table.
	If they are not yet taken, please dub us Dame Overboard and Sir Scampers.
	Okay.
	He's looking for this or you'll never find this one.
	I remember this one.
	Beaches are back open.
	I'm looking right now.
	Did we have that ISO? Beaches are open.
	Woohoo!
	I know, but that's not what it's titled.
	Trump saying none, none, none.
	I don't remember that.
	Climate gate and house building karma.
	I'm still looking for the woohoo, man.
	Woohoo!
	Beaches are open!
	Is this it?
	Let me see.
	Yes, the beaches are back open!
	Woohoo!
	Yeah!
	Am I good or what?
	You are good.
	Beaches are open.
	None, none, none.
	Oh, yes!
	Uh-huh, it exists.
	Okay, I'll hold on.
	I won't even pre-play it.
	And then we have Climate Gate and House Building Karma.
	Climate...
	To the Climate Gate and then House Building Karma.
	Okay, here we go.
	Yes, the beaches are back open!
	Woo-hoo!
	None, none, none.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	You've got our life.
	Beautious.
	I don't even remember the nun, nun, nun.
	No, but there it was.
	Sir Brian, or I'm sorry, Brian Hauser-Baz in Batteau Bay, New South Wales, Australia, 76828...
	It's a thousand Australian dollars.
	I'll send a note separate to read on the air.
	This takes me to Viscount, Sir Baz.
	Didn't we do him on the last show?
	I have a feeling.
	Because I think so, yeah.
	Because I remember talking about Sir Baz and putting him on the list.
	I think he just somehow carried over.
	I have a...
	Let me see.
	I think he's on the last show, I'm telling you.
	Yeah, I don't have anything.
	Because I said I put it down as Sir Bat.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, we'll see him at the title change later on today, after the nightings.
	By order of veto.
	Sir Joshua...
	Joseph Frost, 67163.
	I waited to write something...
	Wanted to write something pithy and meaningful...
	I can only congratulate you both on 10 years.
	Hope for many more.
	Take advantage of the two-for-one deal.
	This donation times two should take me to Viscount level.
	Accounting to be attached.
	Why JoJo the network chimp?
	Because Twitter had a character limit on usernames and Bonobo wouldn't have fit.
	No, that's not true.
	I had an eye on John's blog for years and remembered downloading and listening to the first podcast with Adam Curry, but I can't remember when.
	I started being a regular listener maybe in 2010, but didn't start donating until 2011, and there was a first podcast with Andrew Horowitz.
	He goes on to his life story.
	If I can, I'd like to claim DuPage County, Illinois.
	I know I have to answer to Sir Sean Connolly, Viscount of Federal Reserve District 7, and Sir David Foley, G.D. of the U.S. Gitmo Nation.
	May I have some jingles as well?
	Little girl, yay.
	Karma, two to the head and the goat scream.
	Yes, and you'll have the incorporated service of Goat Karma.
	Yay!
	You've got Karma.
	Now, I do want to mention, there is no evidence yet that service goat karma works as well as regular karma.
	So, buyer beware.
	Might work better.
	Well, there's no evidence it doesn't.
	Well, we'll get feedback.
	That's the whole point.
	Yeah, I'm asking for that, obviously.
	And I'll bring, I should bring this up now.
	But now, if we do tech news, I'll bring it up.
	I'm not going to bring it up now.
	My son, Buzzkill Jr., had come up with a kind of a metaphysical analysis of Apple and why they may now collapse.
	Oh, we're doing that right after donations.
	From magic.
	Okay.
	All right.
	We're going to talk about it right after we're done.
	I can't wait now.
	Now you got me all jacked.
	I was actually very taken by this analysis.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	T's done.
	Don't over-tease.
	Don't over-tease.
	Fabulous, fabulous.
	Daniel Wood, 555.55ITM, just under the wire for the 10th.
	Actually, you missed it.
	First time, but you got in because of the extension.
	I was hit in the mouth by Sir AJ Anonymous, the knight of the O. And he's got the numbers, dealer's choice for jingles.
	That's about it.
	Okay, let me see what I got on the dealer's choice for jingles.
	What was I supposed to do after that?
	Nothing, I don't see.
	Okay, good.
	Do I have a letter from Anderson?
	Let's see.
	Probably not.
	I wish people would just put their message in this instead of Separating them because they get lost as this one did.
	Okay, I'm warning people to stop separating out their messages.
	If you can get this into the box, you can get the whole message into the box.
	Thanks to No Agenda Donation Doubling.
	Now, barren wasteland of this hot southern bush.
	We have the on there.
	Shout out to Sir Timothy and the Michigan Meetups, who still continue the six-week cycle.
	That's not...
	That's not an administration joke.
	Please play Shapeshifting Jew.
	Okay.
	He will be knighted...
	No, he'll be upgraded later.
	The barren wasteland of the hot southern bush.
	Very nice.
	Thank you.
	The Michigan guys are having meetings again.
	They have another one coming up.
	You know what I predict pretty soon?
	Here's how it goes.
	Hey, you know, we could do a podcast.
	Just us guys here.
	I mean, John and Adam are okay, but they're missing a lot of stuff.
	I don't think so.
	The Michigan guys are really more like a social club.
	I think it's going to work with them, local one.
	Local one.
	And they don't seem to be, you know...
	It's okay.
	I'm not saying it's not okay.
	That's a reference to the No Agenda.
	Oh, no.
	What was that show?
	The No Agenda.
	No, but the show.
	Yeah, with Comicstreet Blogger.
	No, not that.
	No, I'm talking about those guys who'd started the forums.
	Oh, the No Agenda Forum guys.
	Yeah, and then they started doing their own podcast, and the next thing you know, their podcast consisted of how much we sucked.
	Yeah, I was thinking of Yo Agenda, but yeah, now I remember what you're talking about.
	Yo Agenda's different.
	Yo Agenda.
	It was the Gitmo Nation Roundtable.
	I got it.
	There we go.
	Chris, $500.
	A night at Cerebal.
	Get it?
	Ah, Cerebal.
	No, Brawl.
	Brawl.
	Cerebal.
	Hmm, excellent.
	Call out Kathy with an I as see you next Tuesday and a douchebag call out.
	Well, I'll do the douchebag, but the rest you gotta do yourself.
	Oops, not that one, this one.
	Douchebag!
	Jingles, Manning, Whoopin' with the Constitution, Jungle Fever, which is now becoming my favorite.
	And two to the head for the LGY. Okay, Jungle Fever.
	Whoopin' with the Constitution.
	Yeah, no, I got that one, but I'm looking for the...
	That's the money shot clip.
	Yeah, but does he want the full one?
	Yeah, the full one's too long.
	Just the money shot.
	Jungle Fever, I don't have ISO'd.
	Okay, why don't you just put it at, can you put the whole thing at the end?
	Yeah, I can do that.
	Yeah, but I can do money shot, and then what's the final thing?
	Two to the head.
	LGY, yeah, I'll try and get this all done.
	I'm a mess today.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's going real well here.
	That's a show of money shot!
	Woo, Jesus!
	Woo, Lord!
	Look at that!
	That's a money shot!
	Ted A. Conway is a money shot!
	Money shot and then...
	You got it.
	I forgot the yay.
	I have to switch between apps.
	It's a mess.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, because you, right, you have the wrong router.
	Yeah.
	James Blair Sir Duma in Holland, Ohio, 500.
	My credit card limit was raised and double credit still ongoing.
	I guess I've become a baronet.
	Counting below, please change my title to Sir Duma, baronet of the Black Swamp.
	Actually, the baronet is, kind of has to be under somebody's barony, so you should probably, we can call you that.
	Yay!
	Oh, there she is.
	With the goal of becoming a baron in 2018, please reserve the Black Swamp region.
	Okay, for you, Barony.
	Okay, you've got the right idea.
	NJPK, no jingles.
	Please, Karma.
	Oh, that's a good one.
	As a side note, John was complaining about PayPal not sharing addresses.
	On the PayPal side, there's a button that says, share my emailing address with no agenda show.
	Also, please remind us...
	No, I'm talking about physical addresses, not the cities.
	They leave cities out with the current way we're downloading.
	Yours came through.
	So, Dvorak.org slash NA, I think is what, I don't know what he's, I think.
	Okay, and JPK. You've got karma.
	And we have an anonymous $500 donor in New Orleans who says, please keep me anonymous.
	Could I please be knighted, cirrhosis of the liver?
	Wow.
	These LARPer names are great.
	I love them.
	It's great.
	Yes.
	We've gone into the era of puns.
	Well, I mean, I'm Crackpot, you're Buzzkill.
	I guess it's a theme.
	We pioneered it.
	Yes, we did.
	Now we're going to Ken Price, $500.
	I don't have a note or anything from him that I can see.
	I'll double check to see if I got anything in the emails.
	No, I have no Ken Price.
	No, sorry.
	Okay, well, we'll make it up.
	Believe me, we make it up a lot.
	Uh...
	Sardar Singh of the Punjab gave $500 in a mail order, kind of a post office thing.
	Post office was called money order.
	A money order.
	And with on there written, he wrote on the money order, to be knighted as Sir Sardar Singh of Punjab.
	I don't know why it says...
	It says June job, but I'm sure you mean Punjab.
	It's Punjab.
	You better change it on the list.
	I don't know how he...
	It's probably my typo.
	Consider it done.
	Todd Moss in Tempe, Arizona have notes.
	This would be a check that came in.
	Todd Moss.
	No, it's not Todd.
	It's not Todd.
	Here he is.
	Oh, yeah, Todd.
	Todd is our guy.
	He's our Southwest flight attendant who's going to show us a good time if we ever get on Southwest.
	Oh, okay.
	Party on.
	Sorry to have missed the first seven years of your show.
	They're available if you've got some time.
	Don't bother.
	I'm catching up with the last three years.
	I hope you both have enough...
	He's handwritten and very poorly done.
	...in your tanks to go another ten years.
	America and the universe needs you.
	Please pass on some health karma as I have a shoulder...
	Something suffers.
	Got something with his shoulder.
	Something wrong with his shoulder.
	P.S. Tom Miller is still a douche.
	Alright, we'll confirm.
	Douchebag!
	Okay, I don't think he knows...
	I don't think he knows about the two-for-one deal because he says in here he's on his way to knighthood.
	Well, he's actually achieved knighthood and he just has to tell us what he wants to be knighted as and will hold the knighthood in abeyance.
	Now, remind me of what partying we were going to do with Todd?
	I don't remember.
	We were doing partying.
	Well, you said he's our Southwest flight attendant and we were going to party it up with him.
	That's what you just said.
	No, he says he's going to take care of us on the flights.
	Maybe?
	Sure.
	He's going to upgrade us to row A upon boarding?
	I don't know what you can do on Southwest.
	Give us a free drink.
	And a peanut.
	Extra peanuts.
	Extra peanuts.
	I guess I'll give you peanuts and pretzels.
	And you know both of us are going to shake them in our hands and then throw them back our heads.
	Extra peanuts.
	All right.
	Maybe I have two parties after this.
	Here comes the karma.
	You've got karma.
	Interesting how when you say he's going to take care of us, I equate that to party.
	Yeah, it's just me.
	I don't know.
	Old habits die hard.
	Ellie Zanoun, I think, in Philadelphia, 490.
	EZ from Philly.
	Please give money, Karma, to all the listeners that need it and to you too.
	Please just take one whole second of silence after the Karma jingle for it to reach everyone.
	Love and light.
	She wants a clean-cut Karma.
	All right.
	In five.
	You've got karma.
	There's a little blip at the end of it.
	Yep.
	That proves that it's over.
	It's my cue.
	David Brown, 46997.
	What a week.
	What a fantastic opportunity to join the No Agenda family.
	Something awesome.
	It's awesome.
	I don't know what it is.
	It's a bunch of characters.
	I can't tell what it says.
	Taking into account my very first donation this past summer of 606, Micro Boobs, and this week's two-for-one deal, I'd like to lay claim and capture my knighthood with a donation of 46997.
	And there's, again, some more characters I can't remember.
	I would like to be known as Sir Honey Badger of the Carolinas.
	Oh.
	Time allowing, I would like to request the following jingles.
	Can you feel the juice?
	The screaming goat?
	And...
	Two shots to the head.
	And karma as well?
	Karma?
	Once you give them the goat karma, that way I don't feel bad.
	That's what I was going to recommend.
	It's on deck now, the goat karma.
	God, why does that keep popping up?
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	Hello, goat.
	Service goat.
	Jonathan Ferris in Liberal, Kansas.
	4, 3, 2, 10.
	This should put me over the top as a nightlight to be known as Sir Big Papa Moose of the Ogallalala Aquifer.
	I am continuing on a $50 a month for Baronet.
	Can I get a F the EU and a service goat karma, please?
	F the EU F the EU You've got karma .
	Thank you.
	All right, so we have Harold Sausner from New York at 38633 who also donated.
	He sent a note in.
	I think I do have that.
	I hear celebrate 1,000 some more.
	Here's a donation representative of my first computer.
	And make me an Insta Black Knight.
	And please read the email sent with the previous 1234.56 donation.
	If this is also given the doubling, then I would like to be Baron of Albany 514.
	Yeah, I thought we read his note, to be honest about it.
	Somewhere in hour five.
	I think, yeah, a lot of people are sending stuff in that they don't realize that they were.
	We had a back and forth with somebody this morning about her being knighted, and she claimed she was only a half knight.
	I don't know what she was talking about.
	Half knight?
	I hope it was a good half.
	I don't know.
	Let me take a quick look.
	If anyone says you messed it up, I'm just going to say you're probably right.
	Yeah, yeah, and I always benefited the doubt to a point.
	So I have evidence to the contrary, which can happen.
	Let me get into the old...
	Is it S-O-S-S? S-O-S-S-E-R? Yes.
	I remember this name.
	Yeah, well, here's one.
	This must be the one he's thinking of.
	Hal Sosner.
	Please, Sir Loin of the House of Porter.
	Did we do that?
	I don't remember Sir Roy.
	Yeah, I do.
	Yeah, we did that.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I didn't get to call it a tale for my nighting.
	This makes me black instant night.
	No, it's not true.
	None of this is true.
	And this is one of the...
	He's got to see too many letters.
	I'm thoroughly confused now.
	Well, I'm...
	Here it is.
	I'm the dentist that took the heat for suggesting oral cancer is on the rise.
	Horrible and from HPV virus and oral sex.
	This is a letter we didn't read.
	I don't remember this.
	I'm done stewing, and I would like to congratulate both of you for the thousand shows.
	Okay, it would be good to even after I read this.
	I've learned a lot and laughed a lot.
	Thanks.
	I read John's one-page editorials in PC Magazine going back to my days in college.
	I saw the TV show and the Tech Grouch, all great stuff.
	Oh, Tech Grouch.
	You and two other people watched the Tech Grouch.
	When I heard he was on a podcast and Jerry Pernell was there too, I had to listen to the Leo guy.
	Then I found out about Noah Jenner.
	When MTV started, I was studying physics.
	I would put it as background music and thought, who would ever want to watch music videos?
	Then one day I saw the video by Robert Palmer, Simply Irresistible.
	So there was this guy as a sidekick with J.D., Adam Curry.
	Never heard of him, but listening to him was interesting.
	I miss his treaties on aliens on Earth and moon bases.
	Those shapeshifting Jews are spacegoers too.
	Being Jewish myself, I can attest to it.
	There it is.
	The silent shapeshifter.
	Welcome.
	As the episodes went by, Atlas set the hook and John had baited.
	As I'm now an instantite and a mini-baron, it sounds a little better.
	I'd like some jobs karma.
	Obamacare has been great for America, but as a small business owner, it's gutted the profit from my business.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's horrible.
	We keep saying.
	Yep.
	Can I have another dose of Jobs Karma for all the doctors in the country?
	We need them to care about us.
	They care for us.
	I'm getting old now, too.
	I'd like to call out David Duvall in Malta.
	Douchebag.
	And Sam.
	Douchebag.
	Keep up the good work.
	They're not douchebags.
	It's really horrible.
	We need the neurocomputers.
	You know who you are.
	And another shout-out.
	All to all you men out there who are at home with their wives, their feet up in the air.
	I always intended on becoming a knight on the table.
	I wanted someone else to choose my moniker while I'm going to use it, but I'm from a different protectorate.
	I promise to live up to the name of the grand traditions of the knight.
	Sirloin.
	I like Sirloin.
	Sirloin, hall of the house of Porter.
	Best Borgone and Ruby Red Bordeaux.
	And he goes on with the...
	He wants some...
	Jobs karma.
	Yeah, let's do that.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	All right, I hope that took care of him.
	And where was I? On the spreadsheet.
	We did Saucener.
	We're James Flesch.
	From Hebron, Kentucky.
	Okay, got him.
	James Flesch, $350.
	Hope this makes it $350.53.
	Hope this makes it in time to get the two-to-the-head discount.
	So if I'm becoming...
	I like that.
	If I'm becoming an NA Knight will be the one resolution I was able to keep this year as an anesthesia provider.
	A lot of doctors today.
	I request one of my following.
	Sir Knight Knight.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah, for an anesthesia guy.
	Sir Wake You Up or Sir Chris Passer of Gas.
	Although funny.
	I like Sir Night-Night.
	Why not Sir Night-Night Passer of Gas?
	Ooh.
	Well, I don't know if you want such ad-libbing for him, but that would be good.
	I can understand.
	I would like to add my smoking hot wife, Allie, to the birthday list.
	She turned 33 on the 18th.
	I'm not sure if she's on there.
	You can check.
	I was also requesting Instagram karma for her new fitness endeavor, Your Mama's So Fit, where the dames and the knights can check out nutrition, fitness, and motivation content.
	Your mama's so fit.
	It's very straightforward.
	As always, thank you for your courage and continues with excellent work.
	No, no, no.
	Anything Reverend Manning and Chemtrails.
	This is a request there.
	Okay.
	Oh, Chemtrails as well?
	Yeah.
	Chemtrails.
	Chemtrails.
	I did it.
	I guess that's...
	Yes, you did.
	It's the new Chemtrails jingle.
	Stop shucking and diving!
	Boom shakalaka!
	Go right there!
	He's a Mac Daddy!
	Chemtrails.
	And she did karma as well?
	Uh, why not?
	You've got karma.
	You can read the next one and cut it down a little bit.
	I'll prepare for the one after that.
	Okie doke.
	This is from, let me see, Sir Arcane Code.
	November 4, India X-Ray Tango from Columbiana, Alabama.
	And this is 333-73.
	I was prepared to forego the doubling so this episode could have an executive producer.
	Thank you.
	That's like all my friends in Hollywood always say, please don't go opening weekend.
	Go the second weekend.
	otherwise it drops off too quickly.
	As I know donations for the episode after the big one usually suck.
	Well it's actually been pretty good still with our twofer.
	I'm still listening to the 10th episode extravaganza but John said you were extending the double down so this donation doubled it puts me at Baronet.
	Yay me!
	In a weird coincidence my donations for all time also total 2017-73.
	Coincidence?
	I think not.
	Huh.
	I've been trying my best to catch swine flu so that John could enjoy the jingle, but so far no luck, although I think I was kidnapped by space aliens.
	I had a lost time incident the other day when I came to realize several hours had passed, my butt hurt, and I had a funny taste in my mouth.
	My wife says I fell asleep in my recliner, but whatever.
	I think we should stop the note there.
	Although he says, NJNK, but at the end of the regular donor segment, I'd like to reserve some jobs karma.
	Last year, I found myself unemployed and decided to take what had been a side gig, doing dude named Ben training videos for a company called Pluralsight, and turning it into full-time self-employment.
	My first course was showing you how to use a tool called Pester to test PowerShell scripts, And what was I testing?
	Scripts to download the best podcast in the universe.
	Oh, this is great.
	For four and a half hours, the words No Agenda, Adam Curry, and John C. Dvorak are splashed across the screen.
	I even came up with a way to show off some excellent album art.
	Very good.
	Very good.
	That's nice.
	Yeah, if you're doing training videos, put that stuff in there.
	Oh, absolutely.
	He has all kinds of compliments and he says, I'd be remiss not to acknowledge John C. Dvorak.
	From his early columns in PC Magazine to his various TV shows and podcasts, John provided a wealth of information which guided my career.
	Guided.
	Hey.
	You should be proud of yourself.
	I am.
	I'm happy.
	I'm happy for these guys.
	Finally, I'd like to thank the pair of them.
	Oh, that's both of us.
	For their work on the No Agenda show.
	I spend many nights working on the demos for this.
	Oh, this is what he had, and this is the script.
	So that's even in the script he's blowing you.
	This is great.
	Ah, super nice.
	Here's another 10 years and three days.
	73s from Sir Arcane.
	Code November 4, India X-Ray Tango.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you very much.
	Good, sir.
	73s to you.
	73s.
	Brian Bierce is somewhere parts unknown.
	33333.
	Request JCD read this, please.
	Well, I tend to read all of these.
	Hello, gents.
	I was knighted on 961, but for some reason my note didn't make it into the show, and I failed to donate on time for your 10th anniversary.
	Well, actually, you're still on time, so you didn't really.
	I'm a procrastinator, he says.
	Happy 10th.
	I've been listening to the show since the early 100s, like many, JCD, Cynicism, and...
	Comic genius dragged me along from Cranky Peaks.
	Now the No Agenda show is a well-oiled, shiny product, much like mac and cheese.
	The multiple dimensions of the universe look on in awe.
	Looking forward to 10 more years.
	I received my night ring on Thursday's 10th anniversary.
	It was the best day of my life.
	The best day of his life.
	I received my night ring on Thursday.
	Okay, and on Friday I sprained my ring finger.
	Wish I was joking.
	I don't believe in coincidence, but I think I might need a dedouching.
	Some karma, a hello citizen, two to the head, and a little girl yay.
	Keep up the great work, and thank you for, and thank you, thank you, thank you, Sir Brian, FEMA Region 1.
	You've been de-douched.
	Hey, citizen.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	I'm getting RS, repetitive stress syndrome in my mouse hand.
	Snapping around, clicking all these jingles.
	Brian Burse is in Kingston, Massachusetts.
	Michael Pocket, or Pocket, but Pocket, I believe, and 1333.33, please de-douche me.
	I have not donated for a long time, and my douchebag is weighing me down.
	Douchebag!
	You've been de-douched.
	Call out John Robinson.
	Douchebag!
	Now I got it.
	And he got me listening and has not donated for a very long time.
	Also, a shout-out.
	Now, I don't know what this is.
	I mean, don't douchebag this guy.
	No, I think it's good.
	I think he's bad.
	There's been call-out and shout-out.
	Yeah.
	Shout-out to Mike Newman.
	Shout-out is what Obama would do.
	Like, shout-out, eh?
	So if someone does a...
	Okay.
	So if you do a call-out as a douchebag, you call-out, I'm calling them out, then it's a...
	Douchebag!
	If it's a shout-out, it's...
	Thanks, Obama.
	That's kind of our jingle sequence now.
	Perfect.
	Daniel Klinger in Muskegon, Michigan, 3333.00.
	Happy 10th.
	I may be a little late, but this might help you get through the anniversary, after the anniversary letdown.
	That'll be next show.
	I think your relatively neutral analysis of the mainstream media is a vital service to humanity.
	Okay, we should accept Medicare.
	And keep up the great work.
	Except Medicare.
	Medicare eligible.
	Joseph Stacey in Sammamish.
	Sammamish, Washington.
	He's got a quick note.
	He says it doesn't fit in there.
	Well, you can write it in there, which you did.
	You'll be able to put the whole note in there.
	But let's see if there's anything.
	I don't think so.
	I do not have a Joseph Stacey.
	Sorry.
	I might have a Stacey.
	I got a couple of things from last show that we got to straighten out.
	The Glouse Memo.
	And the BOGO memo, and there's a Johnson.
	Are these dossiers now, when you speak of the memo?
	Is there a manila folder on these guys now?
	I'm trying to get there.
	And anyway, we'll go back and get his other...
	Well, let me look up Stacey, see if I can find it.
	Well, you do that, and I'll do Gavin Bowd, 268 from Peekhurst, New South Wales, Australia.
	Couldn't resist the extension of the generous BOGOF offer.
	Buy one, get one free.
	And not donate again to claim my barony.
	Well, thank you, good sir.
	It's taken five years of listening, but finally the time has come.
	268 freedom dollars multiplied by two is the required 536 I need to claim my new title.
	From this day forth, instead of Sir Gavin of St.
	George, I'd like to be known as Lord Gavin Baron of Sydney.
	Wow.
	Instead of jingles, John, can you please read in your best Klingon voice...
	The following words.
	You got it.
	I have Joe Stacey's note.
	So don't you want, can you just do the words?
	Can I give it, I think, and then we go back.
	I don't have it open, but this is, okay, I got it.
	I didn't know you had a Klingon voice.
	I didn't, I don't have one.
	Klingon martyr judge.
	Is that it?
	That's it.
	Nailed it.
	I don't think so.
	Okay.
	What's next?
	Well, what's next is Joe Stacey's note, which I did find.
	I know it's after midnight, but I was hoping to get this in for tomorrow's show.
	This was on Thursday.
	No, I didn't get in.
	I sent him a note.
	It got in too late.
	I've been hitting my son Zachary in the mouth while driving my son to and from the park and ride over the past year or so, and I think he's beginning to enjoy the show.
	Age?
	Age?
	What age?
	But I've changed jobs and he's got his license.
	Oh, he's about 16, 17.
	Now drives himself.
	According to my calculations, probably 19.
	According to my calculations, I've been a black knight for a while and this 273.50 would push me over the baronet status when doubled.
	However, I would like to forego my peerage change for now, and I confirm my night head on to Zachary, if I may.
	NJNK. I don't know if we have him on there.
	I'll check for Zachary.
	Let's see if there's a Zachary on there.
	Yeah, well, he's got all this documentation for his numbers.
	No, Zachary's not, so just give me the deets again.
	Joseph Stacey?
	Zachary Stacy.
	Sir Zachary Stacy, if I can speak it, from Joseph, or from his dad, Joe.
	Okay, but so, what does he become?
	He becomes a knight?
	Yeah, he's a knight, and Joe foregoes his baronet.
	Got it.
	Okay.
	Simple.
	Done.
	Simple, but complicated in some funny way.
	Sir...
	Oh, man.
	Charles Presetia, I think.
	How would you pronounce that?
	Prestia.
	Prestia.
	In Cary, North Carolina.

	We don't know what we're talking about.

	I recently got a new job with a great company and a generous bonus to boot.

	I appreciate that.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.

	Please proudly refer to me as Sir Desi Dude of Liberty Valley.
	I shall make it so.
	I shall make it so.
	Liberty Village.
	Sir Michael Stadjohar, 222.
	I've been a douche for five years for listening and not donating.
	Here's to ten more years.
	I think this takes me to Baronet with your generous special.
	He's got the accounting.
	Well, I'm going to give him a deduce.
	You've been deduced.
	He deserves that.
	Another 22222 from Michael Renecker in Dubuque, Iowa.
	Thanks to the best podcast in the universe.
	What a great team you guys make.
	I wish I had found this podcast sooner, but even though I'm late to the game, I've been hitting friends in the mouth left and right.
	NJNK, mofos.
	Okay.
	Vince Cornell, 22222.
	I have a note, apparently.
	That's Vince.
	A couple notes left.
	Yeah, here it is.
	It's a card, actually.
	NJNK, it starts off with.
	You don't have to worry about that.
	I started listing a couple of months ago, and this is my first submission of value.
	With your double credit promotion and me expecting twins in a few weeks, how could I resist?
	Keep up the good work.
	Regards, Vince Cornell in Virginia.
	Nice.
	Put that in the files.
	Actually, we usually put the cards on the wall.
	Actually, Jay, my daughter, does.
	Sir Nick, dragon of the four domains.
	202, can I get a he's Trump, he's Trump, the president, and a goat scream karma?
	Yes, we can take that for you, sir, no problemo.
	He's Trump, he's Trump, the president!
	You've got karma.
	Karma.
	I amuse myself.
	I like that one.
	That kind of...
	I keep forgetting about it.
	That moves kind of...
	But it also flows nicely.
	If you do the two together, it's like...
	He's Trump!
	He's Trump!
	The president!
	Hit the karma here, and then it ends with the guitar into the goat.
	Karma.
	That could almost be a pre-produced jingle.
	I like it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and you do it on the fly.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let's do it live!
	Dame Francine Hardaway, 200.
	Happy chance you guys are amazing.
	While I don't always agree, I always admire.
	And I always laugh.
	Bless you, two cynics.
	You know, she wrote me a nice note.
	Well, we had talked about her Medium post about Scoble and how she, in a way, she felt that she had also kind of benefited from a lot of misogyny because she's like, okay, I'll play that game.
	Dame Francine, a true Dame, but she can play hardball.
	She used to work for Microsoft or Apple.
	Hardball.
	In a male-dominated world.
	Or Intel.
	She worked for Intel.
	She was an Intel kick-ass.
	Yeah.
	And so she said she got a lot of pushback from women.
	A lot of mean comments.
	And so she was very appreciative of what we had said about her coming from two old white dudes.
	I don't know if that gets you a cup of coffee.
	Bigly.
	Bigly.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	I know.
	That sucks.
	It's crazy.
	Maybe I'll get that one in.
	You want to give her a karma?
	Or do we give her a karma?
	I'm going to give her a no.
	I want to give her a goat karma.
	Where's your goat name?
	You've got karma.
	Oh, oh, oh.
	Sir Anonymous, the baronet of the ADF-C. Add me to the birthday list.
	I think you're on there.
	Today is my 54th.
	NJNK. Thank you for that.
	NJNK. Nice.
	Timothy Kiernan in Plymouth, Michigan.
	Let the celebration continue by reckoning this donation puts me at the August order of baronets and baronetesses.
	May I point out with all due respect that there's no article in my title.
	It's just Sir Timothy of no agenda fixed title.
	And there was no the in it.
	He says no fixed title, not no agenda fixed title.
	No fixed title.
	Oh, no fixed title.
	You're just adding words there.
	Yeah, I'm just adding a wonder.
	I would love to, let me read it the way it was written.
	May I point out, with all due respect, there is no article in my title.
	It's just Sir Timothy of no fixed title.
	And there is no the in it.
	I would love to hear the Sharpton Star Wars clip.
	I'm working on my Al Gore.
	The Sharpton Star Wars clip.
	I have attached it in case it is difficult to find.
	I didn't get no Star Wars clip.
	No.
	I have no email from him with that.
	Is it this?
	Star Wars.
	Everyone's going nuts about it.
	Maybe it's that one.
	That's the one.
	Of course.
	I had it.
	Kyle Platts, 200.
	No, no, no, nothing that I can see.
	If I'll look around and see if we can get it for the second half.
	Cody Wilson, 200.
	I'd like to credit this donation to my father, Colin Wilson, for his birthday while calling him out as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	As since he hit me in the mouth a year or two ago, I've not heard his name as a donor.
	As a struggling artist, I first learned of the no agenda while working on my father's studio, thinking who are these weirdos with their jingles.
	That's what we think you'd think.
	Of course.
	Who are these weirdos with those jingles?
	I quickly came to love no agenda with their deconstruction filling the hole created by my disdain for M5M constantly jerking me off with their nonsense.
	Being a late-stage millennial living in the hipster hub of Melbourne, Australia, first I am known about that.
	So it's the Brooklyn of Australia.
	I've had to, or Portland, I would have to, I've had to keep my love for crackpot podcasting quiet.
	Selectively punching people in the mouth who do not get their news completely off face bag.
	Chantel, you douchebag!
	Hold on.
	Yes.
	Douchebag!
	I'm now a busty tattooist.
	And if anyone wants to get no agenda tattoos, I will do it for them free.
	Hit us up on Instagram, Cody Wilson Tattoos.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Can I get a Trump mac and cheese, little girl?
	Yay, shut up, slave, goat.
	And that lady crying after Trump was elected.
	No.
	No, I just don't think I can do it.
	What is the Trump mac and cheese?
	I don't know what that is.
	No, I think she just wants a Trump.
	A Trump what?
	A Trump what?
	It's a Trump.
	I can't give you just a Trump.
	You want a Trump?
	Trump.
	What is a Trump?
	Trump.
	I don't know what a Trump is.
	Okay, I don't have that.
	And then a yay?
	Give her a mac and cheese, little girl, yay, shut up, slave, and your goat karma.
	She'll be good to go with that.
	No, I understand, but I've been...
	Okay, hard to understand.
	Hard to explain what's going on here, but it's...
	Living the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese, by Ayn Rand.
	God.
	This is something new.
	You've got.
	I don't know what that is.
	Karma.
	I think there's our dentist's girl singing there.
	It's not so much...
	It's really having a small screen and the jingle thing not working.
	Yeah, he's in a bind.
	He's in Holland with his...
	He doesn't have his regular rig, so it's hard to get to some of these.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's not hard to get to some of them, but four in a row becomes a little complicated, yes.
	Yeah.
	Well, Cody's, at least, we'll get back.
	Cody, we'll hear from her again, apparently, because she does tattoos.
	Good.
	Sir Andrew Ball, 182.20.
	This is before midnight in some time zone, so I hope I can sneak this in for the birthday promotion.
	If so, I'll make me a Baron.
	I've got a birthday wish.
	I'll send the email and details shortly.
	Okay, well, I don't have it.
	I believe it's on there.
	And we're going to do the rest of these during the second round.
	Okay, good.
	That's what I was going to suggest.
	Okay, so these are all executive producers still?
	Yes.
	We get to 150.
	Okay, so you will keep track of that, and we will come back to that later.
	It will be a longer show.
	I guarantee you it's not going to be as long as the previous show, but it is kind of nice that we can give everybody...
	It'll probably be half an hour longer.
	Yeah, extension on the two for offer.
	And more show coming up for you.
	Of course, we do want to thank everybody and remind you we'll be doing another show once again.
	I return on Wednesday evening, Thursday.
	I'll be ready for you to deconstruct as your guardians of reality.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash N-A. And do like I do when I'm here in another country.
	I go out there and I propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	All right.
	I have a couple of notes I want to read.
	No, no, no.
	My phone, my phone.
	There you go, everybody.
	Time for tech news.
	Special edition.
	Special report.
	John C. Dvorak has special new information.
	Okay, here's what J.C. came up with.
	And it just came to a while at our dinners.
	On Friday.
	And he says, he thinks Apple's, you know, there's a very mystical aspect to Apple.
	Steve Jobs was a mystic.
	He's learned how to meditate on some levels that most people can't do.
	He created this zone of whatever it used to be called.
	Reality distortion field?
	Yes.
	And even when he died, it was still going there.
	JC just made this observation, and as soon as he did it, I started thinking about it.
	I said, oh my god, he's right, and this could make a huge difference.
	I smell a column.
	So, I don't know if I can get a column out of this.
	And most of my columns smell.
	Anyway, what is the shape of the new Apple office building?
	It's a spaceship.
	No.
	UFO? It's a big circle.
	A donut.
	It's a big circle.
	Yes.
	When did Apple's first start, all of a sudden, Steve Jobs came back and then he did the new iMac, a plastic box.
	It was interesting and everything.
	But when did the company start skyrocketing, skyrocketing, all of a sudden becoming very valuable and got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger?
	Well, it started with the iPod, I think.
	It was with the iPod.
	And what is on the iPod?
	A big circular thing.
	You twist around.
	A circle.
	The original iPod.
	Right.
	And those are the ones that were successful.
	They dropped the circle because they couldn't put it on anymore.
	Those things just went by the wayside.
	The iPhone came out.
	What was predominant about the iPhone when you looked at it?
	There was a circle.
	Every one of these superstar products that he had had a circle.
	Circle, circle.
	The company's a circle.
	It's in a circle.
	And everything's a circle until the X. Ooh.
	That's some magic with a K. Yes.
	That's what I said.
	And why did he...
	His final message to the company was so in their face they couldn't even see it.
	Because that was his final gift to society.
	His gift to California was his building.
	And no one saw it.
	And now with the facial recognition, they removed the circle, the thumbprint, the home button, And that short apple, let me write it down, A-A-P-L. Okay.
	I think you're right.
	Well, when he said it, I was just like, oh, you're...
	Because it all came, you know, it started with the iPod, with the circle and the circular building and the circle, circle, circle, and now no circle anymore.
	As soon as he said, I said, did you, would you read that?
	He said, I don't know, it just came to me.
	He was standing there holding the baby.
	So I think that's when he's holding the baby.
	He's got the baby on his chest.
	He's channeling.
	He's channeling energy when he has the adorable.
	Listen to me.
	I have the solution.
	Just listen.
	Let you open your brain and listen.
	Daddy, daddy, daddy, you must listen to me.
	So anyway, I just thought that was like an eye opener.
	Very good.
	And I know that the whole company is mystical, so that could break the spell.
	Well, it also predicts, of all the listening tube products, that only Amazon will win.
	They have a perfect circular tube that listens to you.
	And Apple has, like, a pineapple.
	No, Google has the pineapples and the little, like, pillow, pin cushion, all these stupid shapes.
	And isn't Apple's kind of...
	Think Amazon's stealing the mojo?
	Yeah, the circle mojo.
	Microsoft will come out with a cube.
	That's what they're about.
	Let me just see, what is the Apple...
	What is that thing called?
	They haven't brought it out yet, have they?
	Yeah, the pineapple.
	Didn't they call it the pineapple...
	I don't know what they call it.
	I don't like these things.
	I don't see any reason why I should be putting listening devices into my own house for somebody else's benefit.
	It's not going to happen.
	Let them come in in the middle of the night and sneak in a listening device, you know.
	I don't even see it on their website anymore.
	Did they just drop the whole thing altogether?
	The HomePod.
	I don't think it's been released.
	The HomePod.
	Yeah, we saw a picture of it.
	We know what it looks like.
	Oh, no, I don't think it's been released.
	I don't think it's officially been released, so it's not on the...
	I don't think it's on the homepage.
	Let me just see what the HomePod...
	Oh, yeah.
	It's not a circle.
	It's kind of like a microphone, you know.
	Look at HomePod.
	So that's a mistake.
	It's not a perfect circle.
	Let me take a look.
	Yeah, I think they're done.
	Hey, Dvorak hates Apple.
	No, no, no.
	That's not...
	It's wrong again, Dvorak.
	That's what I'm hearing.
	Wrong again, Dvorak.
	It's kind of a circle.
	Kind of a puffy circle.
	If you look at it from the top down, it's a circle with a dot in the middle.
	Maybe that thing will work.
	I mean, these devices to me just are not HomePod.
	I know.
	You've got to remember, my stereo system's got 15-inch subwoofers in giant boxes.
	This is what I, to me, is like, you know, kind of the basic, what you're going to get for sound.
	And these little...
	I was listening, I was over at Costco the other day, and some black guy, all tatted up, he looked like a rapper of some sort, and he's listening to the Samsung, what is it called, a sound bar, or whatever it is.
	Yes, a sound bar.
	And he's trying to listen to this thing, and he's going, all I hear is...
	Just the worst sounds, it's just a...
	I was almost going to go over to the guy and says, hey, it's Tinny, it's from Korea, it's crappy sound, don't buy this thing.
	Yeah, but...
	And it's interesting that you categorize a human being of black pigmented skin as a rapper.
	No, he just seemed like a rapper.
	He gave off a rapper vibe.
	Just because he was black.
	Things were different when John was around in the early days.
	It was different.
	All I know is he's listening intently to this crappy speaker, and he's trying to tune it.
	John, we now have children, I'm just going to say children, because I'm old now I can say it, who for almost 20 years have witnessed nothing but MP3s.
	They don't know better.
	That's what they listen to.
	It's in their earbuds.
	Look, beats are not...
	Let's just take it right there.
	Maybe he's trying to emulate the crap sound of beats.
	These are not the best headphones in the universe.
	Don't you think it's my obligation to come up to him and say, hey, that sound is crap.
	Don't go there.
	You have to understand.
	What is he going to say?
	What am I supposed to listen to?
	Where am I supposed to go?
	There's nothing I can find any good sound.
	The stereo stores are all closed.
	You should say, when I was a kid.
	When I was a kid, youngster.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, I just gave up.
	I just looked and shook my head and kept chopping, bought some wine.
	So what I noticed on the face bags in my travels as I was traveling around is...
	Hey, we've got to get out of this.
	You have to close the segment.
	We were in the tech segment.
	You didn't close it.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Okay, well...
	You still doing tech?
	I have no news.
	Okay, well, let's kill it.
	We're done.
	Okay.
	Like I have a jingle ready.
	My wife says to me, and Jay does too, she says, you know, we really miss you guys.
	You're not going into the other dimension anymore with the dog.
	What you're trying to say is...
	They want you to visit once in a while.
	Is that what they're saying?
	They want you to visit them once in a while in the alternate dimension.
	Yeah, well there's that.
	Okay, so here's what I've been reading on the face bags.
	So first of all, the dossier is now widely available, which I don't think it really was, and somehow a PDF got out.
	Copies?
	We've had a copy for a long time, but I'm just telling you the face bag is now, now it's like going around.
	And if you're like, oh wow, and we read it, it's really dumb.
	It's dumb.
	Okay.
	And so now somehow they're all like, well, now he's going to fire Mueller.
	We take to the streets if he fires Mueller.
	Seriously.
	We take to the streets if he fires Mueller.
	Yeah, I saw that too.
	But it all stems from this, from CNN's exclusive report with sources.
	Anderson, we've learned that a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. on Friday approved the first...
	That's the answer, by the way, to what are you learning?
	Here's what we've learned.
	...charges and the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
	This is according to sources briefed on the matter.
	The charges are still...
	Sources briefed on the matter.
	Why can't you just, you know, name who it is?
	...led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
	This is according to sources briefed on the matter.
	The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge at this hour.
	And Anderson, we're told that plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody, possibly as soon as Monday, the sources said.
	It's unclear exactly what these charges are against the indictments.
	The indictment is under seal.
	A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment on this story.
	And as you know, Anderson, Mueller was appointed in May to lead the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections.
	And he was given broad authority under the mandate given to him by Rod Rosenstein.
	So this is a significant development in the investigation.
	Top lawyers who are helping to lead the Mueller firm, the probe we should say, including veteran prosecutor Andrew Wiseman, were seen today entering the courtroom at the D.C. Federal Court where the grand jury meets.
	They hear testimony in the Russia investigation and reporters present saw a flurry of activity at the grand jury room.
	What?
	We saw people.
	We saw people.
	They were going in and out.
	Yes.
	We saw this guy and that guy and he went in and he came out.
	We saw them going in and out.
	What kind of a reporter is this?
	Who cares?
	At the grand jury room, but officials made no announcements.
	But we are learning today, Anderson, that the grand jury approved the first charges in the Mueller investigation.
	Everyone's all jacked up and they make it.
	What are the charges?
	Why is this a story?
	Why isn't it just, it's not a long report, it's not a stand-up, it's a sentence.
	Like, they've approved some charges, but they don't have the charges, they're not telling us anything, they're telling us people are going in and out, and in and out, and in and out, and they're trying to create some suspense, but why don't they get to the, if they don't have a story, they don't have a story, and they won't admit it.
	Yes, that is the only deconstruction that is correct.
	That makes all sense in the world.
	Yeah, they don't have a story.
	Until they say who does, you know, when they serve a subpoena on somebody or an indictment or they release it or they arrest somebody, there's no story here.
	Just yeah, they've been dicking around.
	So what?
	Well, no story is the same that we hear from Jim Acosta, who is with the White House Press Corps, regarding Uranium One.
	He's in your camp, John.
	No story, old news, blah, blah, blah.
	I'm saying that, and that is why I try to ask the question.
	It was a multi-part question.
	You know, why is it that the president felt to be involved in this Uranium One deal to try to have that gag order lifted on that key informant in the FBI investigation?
	No real answer there, although Kellyanne Conway, the White House Counselor, spoke to that earlier this morning on CNN. And then also, the President tweeted that the only collusion that existed in the election was between Hillary Clinton and the Russians.
	When I asked for evidence of that, there was no evidence presented.
	This White House has presented no evidence of that.
	The President has not presented any evidence of that.
	And so, once again, you have sort of this inappropriate political behavior on the part of this White House that we saw going on during the course of that campaign.
	Inappropriate political behavior?
	Is that not a contradiction in terms?
	All we've gotten from the news media is constant harping on the collusion between Trump and Russia with no evidence.
	Correct.
	So how is this any different?
	Well, this is correct political behavior or appropriate.
	I don't understand that.
	Inappropriate political behavior.
	That's just inappropriate.
	To that campaign with Locker Up and everything else.
	Was this guy the Guardian of what's appropriate?
	I guess.
	He's Jim Acosta.
	You know, fake news guy.
	Once again, you have sort of this inappropriate political behavior on the part of this White House that we saw going on during the course of that campaign with Locker Up and everything else.
	When you have a White House making those kinds of allegations about a defeated opponent, that is just something that is just not...
	I see what it is.
	They're being mean to Hillary.
	Now I get it.
	Okay.
	Those kinds of allegations about a defeated opponent, that is just not normal in the course of events in a political campaign or having White House do from the podium of the White House briefing room.
	So, you know, I don't know if you notice this right now, Brooke, but there are some...
	Kids in Halloween costumes going back right now to the Oval Office to meet with the President.
	You know, perhaps there will be some trick-or-treating going on in the Oval Office, but I think there might have been a fair amount of that going on here in the briefing room in a few moments.
	I thought I saw kids.
	It was funny to see little faces as you guys were asking these heavy-hitting questions.
	I forgot my costumes.
	Unfortunately, although maybe somebody can be Jim Acosta for Halloween.
	Jim, thank you so much, as always.
	Wow, Brooke Baldwin slamming Jim.
	Well, either that or flirting.
	Possibly.
	I think she's asexual.
	That's a terrible report, and I guess he wasn't one of the reporters allowed in to that little shindig with the kids.
	No.
	I don't have a clip of it, but it was just dumb.
	Does he have Spawn?
	Spawn?
	Yeah, does he have children?
	Does he have Spawn, Jim Acosta?
	No.
	Because it was bring your kids to Halloween that day.
	That was the idea.
	The idea was to have a bunch of reporters bring their kids, and then they get to meet the president all dressed up.
	And he makes some snide remarks.
	I didn't clip it, but he says, Hey, you kids, I bet you the news media treats you better than they treat me.
	Here's what they should have done in the Oval Office.
	And local education news today.
	Bet you didn't know it was World Edible Insect Day.
	Woo!
	And one local school wasn't about to let that go unnoticed.
	Students at Whitehaven Elementary are studying insects as part of their STEM classes.
	So this morning, Principal Tommy Elliott and other school administrators ate bugs in front of the students.
	The menu included barbecue mealworms, cheddar cheese, larvae worms, and chocolate-covered crickets.
	One school board member told us the lesson helped students better understand people from other cultures.
	It also teaches our kids things outside of just their three-mile radius.
	Like, these are things that are happening all over the world, and they should know and understand how other cultures that are different than us, how they use bugs as a way of protein and as nourishment.
	Now, Yvonne, who you just saw there, was among those who tried the bugs.
	She said her favorite was the chocolate-covered crickets.
	She said they were surprisingly good.
	I'm telling you, in today's world, those kids, they're terrorized.
	My child has PTSD because she had to watch you eat bugs.
	Believe them.
	And you said there were reptiles.
	That's an interesting comment.
	Yeah, they're a bunch of reptiles.
	They've got to eat bugs because that's what they do.
	They love eating bugs.
	I thought you meant they weren't eating bugs, they were eating reptiles.
	Okay, no, yeah.
	No, no, the reptiles eating bugs is what they were.
	I mean, why would you do this display just to kind of normalize your activities?
	Hey, Bill, you know, two reptiles talking to each other.
	Hey, Bill, what's the deal with you?
	We can't eat our bugs.
	I've got to go to Yen for a big bag of bugs.
	I know, you know, if we get caught eating bugs that identify us and the rest of it, is there some way we can make it so we can just eat bugs all the time?
	Yeah, there's a couple of tricks we can try.
	We can maybe say it's a popular thing to do.
	Other cultures eat bugs.
	Yeah, it's a good source of protein.
	The Swedes, the Swedes are big bug eaters.
	The Swiss, Swiss bugs, the Russians for sure, they're all bug eaters.
	And so we got to promote that we can eat bugs in public and no one's going to say, think twice about it.
	Yeah, we'll do it.
	And we're just going to, if you can't cover it up, turn it up.
	We'll just do it right in front of the kids, too.
	Yeah, do it right in front of the kids.
	In the auditorium.
	And kids, if you thought this was fun, come back for dinner!
	I love bugs!
	Bugs, bugs, bugs!
	Tastes like poop.
	Tastes like poop.
	Hey, what I found, we were talking about the dossier and the douchebag journalist who had come on months and months ago, who was really the one who promoted it after BuzzFeed had written about it.
	It was David Korn from Mother Jones.
	That was who I couldn't remember.
	I bet you he eats bugs.
	I'll bet he does.
	But it's very interesting to listen in context of who paid for what and what we knew and who knew what all along and what is now being disputed.
	We kind of have evidence now of the people who threw these memes into the M5M universe.
	Here's the intro.
	I think it was on MSNBC. The report from Mother Jones claims a Russian operation has been working for years to cultivate and assist Donald Trump.
	Now, the story says that a former senior intelligence officer claims he gave the FBI evidence that, quote, there was an established exchange of information between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin of mutual benefit.
	The former spy also reportedly said the FBI responded to the evidence with, quote, shock and horror.
	And the spy believes an FBI investigation is underway.
	Shock and whore.
	And whore.
	That's what I heard.
	That's what I heard.
	Now, here's my question before I play the other clip.
	Was it BuzzFeed that launched this first or Mother Jones?
	Mother Jones is considered to be, not by me, but is considered to be respectable.
	Aren't they like Peabody award-winning journalists?
	I don't remember the exact timeline, but as far as I remember, what's in my brain, what I've been programmed to remember is BuzzFeed ran the story And the link to the dossier, Mother Jones picked it up and then went on CNN with the further details.
	Okay, because you kind of made it sound like Mother Jones had done that, but I guess that makes sense.
	Okay, well, it was definitely Korn, and you know him.
	You said you knew Korn.
	No, I never met him.
	Wow.
	That's what I've been programmed to remember, I guess.
	Well, here he is.
	I met this former senior intelligence officer who's really an expert and specialist in and Russian counterintelligence for an intelligence service that we all would respect and learned that he had been sending very detailed memos to the FBI throughout much of the summer based on his own work that he did with Russian sources that was indicating that there had been a Russian operation for a couple years now to co-opt and cultivate
	Donald Trump and he believes You know, in terms of the response he got from the FBI, they asked him for more information and he provided it, that this was a subject matter that they were, of course, keenly interested in.
	Was he able to reveal to you what information he provided?
	Well, I saw some of the memos he sent.
	And in the memos, he doesn't identify the sourcing by name, but though he describes it, and I'm sure to the FBI he could give the actual names.
	But it'd be something like a foreign minister official, a former Russian intelligence officer, or somebody who was at the hotel when this meeting happened, says this, that, the other thing.
	So that's sort of the level of detail that he would get into.
	This, that, the other thing?
	That's a level of detail that's just crazy, man.
	This, that, and the other thing.
	This, that, and the other thing.
	That kind of detail.
	And so on and so forth.
	Yeah.
	But what's interesting here, and I think we have been programmed a little bit, because all I recalled until I heard this clip again, was, well, FBI might have actually paid for some of this research.
	No, this guy was colluding with FBI for months.
	He was passing this on to the FBI, according to David Korn of Mother Jones.
	That is something that we haven't really...
	Yeah, that's the latest.
	But that's been dropped.
	That's been dropped.
	No, not on the right-wing talk shows.
	That's about that they paid for the report.
	Right, right.
	But that's not the same thing.
	Right.
	That's what it's turned into.
	Maybe they paid for it.
	No, this guy was talking to them for months, giving them whatever information.
	And now, from what I understand from the right-wing talk guys, is...
	If they use that information to get a FISA court warrant, then they're in trouble.
	Yeah, then they're in trouble.
	They're in such trouble!
	They're going to get spanked with a hairbrush, bristle side down.
	There is no trouble.
	But, okay, if you want to believe that.
	Well, what we have coming up this week, I think...
	Maybe the beginning of this week.
	Damn, I hope I'm home in time to watch it.
	We'll have a Senate hearing with the Silicon Valley people.
	Oh, you can just get that off C-SPAN. Oh, I know I can, but I'd like to see it live.
	And NPR had, I think it was NPR, had a rather interesting report.
	You know, Twitter...
	There's two things here.
	One is Twitter seems to be in trouble now.
	I guess RT is now publishing the pitch deck that Twitter pitched RT on.
	Oh, the pitch deck.
	Yeah.
	I never thought of getting one of those.
	Yeah, it's the pitch deck.
	Explain what that is to the listening viewer.
	Okay, so you're selling ads for Twitter, and you want to get RT to spend ads, so you're going to convince them that there's potential audience members who use Twitter, and a whole bunch of reasons why, and you're going to put it together.
	And here is U.S. elections proposal for at RT underscore com.
	Hashtag question more for discussion purposes only.
	So these are slides.
	So it's a slideshow.
	And they're going into pitch their client, which is Russia Today, which, as you know, is state-sponsored.
	I mean, you might as well be taking money from the Kremlin, Twitter.
	This is no mistake that RT is putting this out now.
	This is what I like so much about it.
	So they have the actual slides they've published.
	Oh, you're going to put them in the show notes?
	Of course.
	Here's the mission statement.
	Deliver an unbiased point of view of the U.S. elections with an edge.
	Utilizing the power technology of Twitter to distribute the message in real time.
	Was this before or after the election?
	This is before the elections.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	Okay.
	John, we could make so much money.
	We've done these pitches.
	Look at this.
	So, U.S. elections proposal.
	Limited offer for at RT underscore com.
	What did Ron Bloom put this together?
	Limited offer?
	Give me a fucking break.
	Alright, bullet points.
	Innovation.
	Exclusive closed betas pending availability with Periscope, TweetDeck, and Moments.
	Whoa.
	Next point.
	Brand awareness and engagement.
	Oh, it's a big one.
	Customized emoji.
	You're treading water as a company if that's your top sales point.
	Hey, man, we won a million dollars.
	We'll give you a customized emoji.
	Video, bespoke customized solutions, e.g.
	What does that mean?
	Tailored for you, RT. E.g.
	auto-response, scratch reel, and conversational video ad.
	What's a scratch reel?
	This I don't know.
	I've never heard of a scratch reel.
	You should ask somebody.
	You like this?
	I thrive on this kind of content.
	You like hearing this?
	Yeah, keep going.
	If I wanted you to stop, I'd say something.
	Content strategy.
	Strategic support with content management and best practices.
	Vision and concept.
	Tailor-made execution.
	That's just marketing bullcrap.
	I don't know what that means.
	That's bullcrap.
	Tailor-made execution.
	Oh, here we go.
	Dedicated team.
	Twitter experts to focus on live editorial and publishing.
	Curate content and provide strategic and tactical support during the U.S. elections.
	To tactical and strategic support.
	Yummy.
	Efficiency and measurement.
	Customized search solutions.
	I don't know what that's about.
	Okay, but now let me go to the other...
	Part of the deck here.
	Hold on, I'm pulling these up.
	This is just beautiful.
	Okay.
	So this should be in front of Congress.
	They should bring the Twitter guy up there and then play the slide deck and say, what are you guys trying to do here?
	Well, again, there's no accident that RT is publishing this.
	So the deck also has visuals.
	And so there's a stock photo, basically.
	I'm sure those are rich.
	That was great.
	You'll love these.
	Girl holding up a sparkler, and she's drawing with a...
	You know, if you move the sparkler really fast, you can draw something.
	And so it's a little Twitter bird.
	Yeah, I did.
	A little Twitter bird with her sparkler chemtrail.
	Twitter brings you closer to what matters most.
	And then there's a quote from at Gary V. In marketing, there is a war for attention.
	It's the only thing that matters.
	Attention, not impressions.
	And then they have all these stats about who's politically active.
	And they have all the graphs, engagement graphs on Hillary and Bernie.
	Right next to each other.
	Yeah, it's...
	Actually, that would be kind of interesting to see.
	Okay, RT times Twitter.
	No, RT x Twitter 2016.
	Oh, an upfront.
	They're going to do an upfront.
	What the hell are they doing with an upfront?
	Current upfront terms.
	U.S. elections proposal.
	One and a half million dollars across channels.
	And then they'll get, in free media, 120,000.
	I don't know exactly what they're doing here.
	Okay, here's the breakdown.
	So the media plan is $1.5 million.
	So it's $500,000 for promoted video and Periscope.
	Predicted number of engagements, $5.5 million.
	That's a CPE of $0.09.
	Media, $350.
	Customized cards, GIF, auto-response, conversation, video, etc., A lot of this you have to remember when you're going through documents like this is that there's a guy talking while they're presenting this and there's a lot of stuff that you don't get directly from the slides that somebody might say.
	Oh, of course.
	Of course.
	But we do know that they're charging $150,000 for promoted accounts until they'll promote your account.
	How about that?
	And $350,000 for promoted tweets.
	How many tweets do you get for $350,000?
	$1.1 million.
	That doesn't seem like a good deal.
	$0.30 per...
	That's way too high for a tweet.
	Yeah.
	That tweet price is off the hook.
	I mean, I've been studying this from my perspective with, you know, over the years.
	I've talked about this.
	I've written about it.
	I constantly harp on it, which is that the early days of Twitter, if you told somebody to go to a website, you could do the numbers.
	Oh, the website would crash.
	Yeah, you get a lot of people, as time went by, with more people, more followers, by a factor of 10, you'd still get about one-tenth.
	The effectiveness just went down to nothing.
	Hopeless.
	You can't get anyone to click to anything.
	Well, they're going to have to show their numbers somehow.
	But anyway, so I think this is bold.
	It's full of it.
	Well, here's NPR, and they're talking about Twitter and their involvement with the Russians outside, or perhaps even included with the RT promote.
	And, you know, Twitter should go to jail.
	They should put all of Twitter...
	They said just...
	Just turn them off for doing that, for colluding with states that have just taken money from the Kremlin.
	Twitter has announced that from now on, it will reject all advertising from the Russian news outlets Sputnik and Russia Today, or RT. What?
	It will also give away the nearly $2 million it earned from past advertising.
	Both Sputnik and RT are backed directly by the Kremlin.
	And U.S. intelligence officials say both were used by the Russian government to help throw the U.S. presidential election into chaos.
	Chaos!
	And PR media correspondent David Folkenflik joins us now with more on Twitter's move.
	David, it's long been known that these two news outlets enter to Moscow.
	Why is Twitter doing this now?
	Well, you know, the U.S. intelligence officials came to the conclusion the Russians were trying to disrupt things basically a year ago.
	It announced earlier this year that they had concluded that the effort was there to really help put a thumb on the scales for President Trump, for now President Trump.
	And then, you know, not so many weeks ago, U.S. officials decided to try to make RT and Sputnik register as foreign agents, that is, as entities explicitly trying to do the will of the Russian government in the sense that a lobbyist might or, you know, an agent, somebody acting on the government's behalf, not simply as a news organization owned by the government.
	This has put a lot of pressure on organizations that do business with RT and Sputnik to figure out how to respond.
	Well, is Twitter now saying that it agrees with U.S. intelligence agencies that the Russian news outlets tried to tip the election to Trump?
	Twitter's official statements have actually been relatively restrained, just sort of acknowledging the effort to disrupt and that the ability of RT to take advantage of the viral nature of social media platforms, particularly Twitter in this instance, are things that they have to take into account.
	And what do the Russian news outlets say about this?
	Well, they're saying a few things.
	They're accusing Twitter of hypocrisy.
	They're pointing out that Twitter officials came to them with a rather extensive plan to step up their advertising on the site and that Twitter had courted their business.
	In addition, Russian officials at the foreign ministry are saying that this violates all kinds of United States and international protections on freedom of expression, that these are journalistic outlets.
	And, you know, there is the point being made, I think, with validity that the ads really accomplish less in many cases than some of the content and the news coverage, the framing of things, the misinformation, disinformation, and actual stories that got picked up for amplification without any subsidy, without any advertising at all.
	Now, the Russians, of course, aren't the only ones getting a tough look from Capitol Hill.
	Three committees are questioning tech giants next week, Twitter among them.
	You think that had something to do with Twitter's announcement today?
	Oh, I think that's not incidental at all.
	I think there's a great desire on Capitol Hill to understand how this disruption worked.
	You know, some more than others want to take action to ensure, to press these companies to take actions to ensure that this kind of disruption doesn't happen.
	There's some pressure for greater transparency.
	And, of course, Twitter and Facebook and Google have always wanted to protect their secret sauce and their algorithms.
	And in some quarters, there's a desire to try to pressure...
	These social media outlets in such a way that if they don't take greater responsibility, that they could be regulated.
	And I think that's the greatest fear of all for these social media platforms.
	So you're seeing them start to take actions and to take conciliatory measures to at least publicly signal their discomfort, which would have occurred on their platforms in the hope of staving off greater government action.
	You know what the sad thing is about this?
	That there will be all these questions, and they will try to dive very deep because, and here's the sad part, these jamokes on the Hill, they actually are interested in understanding how $2 million can get them to presidency.
	This is how stupid they are.
	100,000.
	Well, it's 2 million, or 1.5 million.
	Well, maybe if you count it all up, it's like 2 million with the Twitter stuff, the RTD. Yes, if somebody told me that 1.5 million was actually spent efficiently, and that's what swung the election, well, my budget is $1 billion.
	Yes.
	First of all, to think that.
	And it comes up in the conversation because all the journos, all the journalists everybody's talking about, oh, they swung the election with this.
	Wait, stop, stop!
	So this is true then.
	Your journo friends who always lose betting with you, these guys believe this shit?
	Yeah.
	Do they know anything about advertising?
	No.
	Of course not.
	Church and state.
	No.
	Church and state.
	No, there's no way they know anything.
	That's why this whole thing has gotten blown out of proportion by the media itself, because they don't know what the hell.
	They don't know that this $100,000 in Facebook ads was nothing.
	It didn't amount to a hill of beans.
	It didn't impress anybody.
	A hill of beans?
	A hill of beans.
	A hill of beans.
	So it was like, it didn't do anything.
	It was just a joke, but because somebody said it did, and I think this is, again, I'll say it again, I think Facebook benefits because it makes it look like they're very efficient.
	Very effective, yes.
	It's all bogus.
	So I think you're right.
	These guys are going to come out and ask these questions because they really think they can go run for their office or go against somebody else on the cheap.
	Because by using social media and tweeting a lot, which is what Trump did, that they can also be successful doing that when it's really much more complicated.
	You're exactly right.
	But I hadn't thought about the media angle.
	I just thought they were worried, but I think they're frightened.
	They're frightened.
	This is their big, you know, every two years.
	Money, money, money, money.
	In the pocket.
	Yeah.
	I think Twitter is going about this the wrong way.
	If they are not becoming a trillion dollar company from this, then not only should the whole C-suite, but the whole board should be annihilated.
	What morons are running that place?
	You could open source it and make more money.
	Mastodon.
	No, I mean, you could do value for value.
	People would donate and you'd make more money.
	What is that profit?
	Like 60 million?
	I have no idea.
	A quarter?
	It's stupid.
	Unbelievable.
	Okay, but that's why I think it'll be really fun, so I can't wait to catch the C-SPAN. How sad am I? I can't wait to get home to watch the C-SPAN. I'll have to try to watch it, too.
	I have a note to read.
	I've got a couple of notes to get some of these errors out of the way that we've made over the past.
	I have a thought for you.
	I have an idea.
	Why don't we finish up show material, because I have a few more things, and just finish it all up, so then we'll be at the three-hour mark, and then we can just take our time doing the rest of the donations.
	Does that sound good?
	Well...
	I mean, we won't do that typically, but just for these shows...
	You want us to do more show right now instead of going back to the donations?
	Yeah, and then winding up the show with the donations and the mixes and everything.
	Oh, well, this is kind of show material.
	I got a bunch of notes.
	I mean, I got tons.
	Are we okay with that idea for this show, maybe next show, just for time-wise?
	The way I see it, we've been ad-libbing this for the last couple of shows, and it's fine with me.
	I have a Bogoff.
	We did kind of break format on the other show, I'll say.
	Yeah, people have asked about it.
	Mimi's.
	Here's Mimi's response.
	I said, you know, the thing that was interesting, I said to her, was that we just went to seven and a half hours.
	We never even discussed it.
	I bitched and moaned along the way, but we never really discussed that we're going to go for seven and a half hours.
	We just went.
	Yeah.
	It's like we both knew that that's what we were going to do.
	We didn't really even have...
	And she says, yeah, well, you've been married for 10 years.
	You know each other's thoughts.
	Is she a little gel?
	Is she getting a little jelly on me?
	She thought it was stupid that I brought it up, I think is what she was really saying.
	Well, that's very interesting.
	You've been married for 10 years.
	I mean, we just seamlessly finish each other's sentences.
	It's so weird.
	It is.
	You are my twin flame.
	All right, Bogolf.
	I want to do the Bogolf.
	All right.
	This is from Jennifer.
	She says, hello, Crackpot and Busco.
	My boyfriend and I were listening to 976 and paused it at one point, paused it at one point.
	Somewhere, yeah.
	To discuss how many female donors were taking advantage of the BOGO donation promotion.
	Yes, that was remarkable.
	Greg asked me why I think so many women are stepping up to the plate right now, and it's obvious that percentage-wise, this is a huge increase.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	Go home ec?
	My next thought was to link it to sociology in that women socialize the shop as well as to put the needs and desires of others before their own.
	My guess is that most of the women who donated during the last few shows are Gen X or older.
	Probably right.
	Well, we don't know.
	Your promotion was too good a deal for anyone to pass up, but especially so for women who are conditioned to shop on the cheap and devalue their own wants or needs.
	I love women for that.
	I am disturbed that this is the conclusion I have come to, that some women in the no-agenda community feel like they need special permission, even amongst this group, to give full value for value, but giving half value for value is more socially acceptable for us.
	Wow, I hadn't considered that aspect of it.
	Yes, this is her slam.
	I don't expect you to read this on the air, but I'd be curious to hear Mimi's and Tina's take on my theory.
	Thank you for your courage, Jennifer.
	Alright, bring in the keeper and the...
	Well, I think we just want to...
	Oh, John, John, John, John.
	I have a name.
	The keeper and the counter.
	Okay, the keeper on the counter is fine, but I'm reading this to bring in everybody.
	Of course.
	I want everybody to weigh in.
	We need boots on the ground, ladies.
	Boobs on the ground.
	And there he goes.
	Without even trying, he has...
	Well, it's the Johnny Walker black label I was given.
	I got all kinds of cool gifts.
	Military takes care of it.
	Yeah.
	I got this awesome watch.
	Yeah.
	You got a watch?
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's like a grandfather clock.
	It's the G-Shock Gravity Master.
	You got to see this thing.
	It's very cool.
	You can set waypoints, you know, wherever you are, altitude included, and it has a 3D map.
	Yeah, well, it has analog hands, but it's like one of those big military diver watches type thing.
	But it has GPS in it, and it can pinpoint your location, and you can do all kinds of crazy stuff with it.
	But most importantly, it's a UTC watch.
	That's why they gave it to me.
	Because there's one button that says UTC, and you click on it, and no matter where you are in the world, you're set to UTC. What time is UTC right now?
	I'm going to click on UTC right now, because it was set to Austin time.
	Okay, I'm clicking on UTC time.
	Yeah, 2-11.
	No, that can't be right.
	It's not working.
	Hold on.
	It's frozen.
	Okay, so much for that.
	Let me read it one more now and then we move on.
	This is Andre Kloss, whose note we've been avoiding.
	I've been a listener since 2014 and at night for about six months now, the things you guys say and deconstruct just blows my mind.
	I used to listen to Adam when he was on the Dutch radio with Van Ginkle.
	And then I saw him on MTV. It'll be the other way around.
	I'm from that era, 52 years old.
	Most of my friends know Adam from that era, of course.
	His reality show now see my difficulty when I try to hit people in the mouth.
	To be honest, it toke me.
	He's from that era.
	I think he meant take.
	Took me.
	Took me, but he says toke.
	I mean, three shows before I was hooked.
	That's old-fashioned, but it happens.
	You two are a great team and a sanity pill for us all.
	From my colleagues and friends, I'm just seen as a Trump-loving, tinfoil hat-wearing fool on the hill who sees conspiracies around every corner.
	I'm amazed when I hear my friends and family say things about Hillary Clinton and how great she is.
	Try explaining the Clinton Foundation scam, the hit list, and the DNC case.
	So forgive me when I just ask for one jingle or two from my friends at no agenda.
	Because there might come a day...
	He did donate quite a bit.
	Because there might come a day when my family locks me up because of my crazy ideas, can it be the little goat and little girl yay?
	The goat and girl yay.
	Okay, I'll pass on my...
	No, I can just do the yay and a goat karma.
	That would make it okay, wouldn't it?
	I don't know.
	Let me finish.
	When I could go on how great you guys are and you are, but I'll keep it short.
	Well, you didn't do that.
	Keep up the great work and just know that it's not easy being a no-agenda listener, I guess, in his age group.
	It's like being the smartest kid in the class.
	Sir Andre, Night of the Christmas from Den Haag.
	Hey!
	He's right down the street from you.
	Woo!
	Hey.
	He's right down the street from you.
	Well, I'll send me an email.
	He says he's enjoying the seven-hour show.
	Go buy Adam a beer.
	He'll love that.
	Well, if he doesn't...
	AdamMcCurry.com.
	He may not finish the seven-hour show before I'm gone.
	He says, Adam, your Dutch English accent is so...
	This is a phony thing you do.
	Your Dutch English accent...
	I know it is.
	I know it is.
	It's so spot on.
	It cracks me up every time you use it.
	Thanks, mate.
	It is very good that Adam does that.
	Because he's so good at it.
	Very, very good.
	It is funny.
	I thank you from the bottom of my heart and my wife's bottom as well.
	That's a real thing.
	A politician once said that.
	For reals.
	So I still can't get it to do UTC time.
	I don't know what I did wrong.
	Great watch.
	Maybe that's a joke.
	It is pretty funny to me.
	Alright, onward.
	Well, I have a little social justice warrior type clip, which is a little long, but I don't know if you saw this.
	This is a Hudson Valley County legislator.
	Hudson County is, I think, upstate New York.
	And the Hudson County legislator is pulled over for speeding.
	She's doing, I think, 43 in a 30 zone.
	And the cops have their body-worn camera gear, and so everything is recorded in this video.
	But I think the audio is compelling enough where you can hear how she goes through these different phases of, oh, well, you know, you can't do it.
	Well, at first it's kind of like, hey, guys, I work with the government here, so cut me a little break, one of those.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then she goes, but you can't give me a ticket because I'm broke.
	And then she goes into full, full-on retard mode, which I think is worth listening to because it really shows you the manipulative nature of a person like this, who in this case not just happens to be a woman, but even just uses it all.
	How are you?
	Do you have any license and registration on you?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I know what this is about.
	My son was calling me because he was asking me when I would be home.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	I appreciate you being honest about the phone.
	The reason why I pulled you over is because when you passed me, you were doing 43 in the 30.
	That's 13 miles per hour over the speed limit on Ulster Avenue.
	When we were passing the firehouse there on Ulster Avenue.
	Oh, well, God, I mean, I was moving together with everyone.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, I can't pull everybody over.
	You know, I work for the county, the Ulster County government.
	I'm a county legislator.
	I'm going to meet the consulate right now at the Maritime Museum.
	Okay.
	And I have to go to the Ulster County to see the Ulster graduation.
	Okay.
	And now I'm supposed to go home and pick up my son to go to these parties.
	Okay.
	Please don't give me a ticket.
	I'm broke.
	I'm completely broke.
	And if you tell people, it's going to hurt me.
	Yeah, can you understand it, John?
	Yes, yes, and then it's quite funny.
	I'm broken.
	It's going to hurt me.
	Define the registration card, just hold it out the window, and I'll come get it.
	I'm sorry.
	I thought it was going to be a little more, you know, as he said something or said, I have to write you a ticket, and then she'd go into the next stage.
	And I didn't think she was just going to go from stage to stage to stage to stage without the guy doing much more than looking at her.
	It's crazy.
	I did edit it a little bit.
	But it's not so much that it's...
	Because the whole thing is nine minutes.
	It's not so much that it's out of context.
	I just cut out pauses and maybe there's one or two things that you couldn't hear.
	Yeah, okay.
	But it is...
	Yeah, it's an honest edit.
	Registration card?
	Just hold it out the window and I'll come get it, okay?
	Don't give me a ticket.
	I can't afford it.
	And I was driving at the same pace as everyone.
	I will defend it.
	I was...
	I mean, I... Okay, I understand that you were driving at the same pace as everybody, but if it's over the speed limit, it's over the speed limit.
	So why would you pull me over instead of someone else?
	It's just bad luck, and I'm broke.
	I'm totally broke.
	I'm totally broke.
	Ma'am, you have to calm down for me, okay?
	Yeah, this is very upsetting for me.
	I mean, every single dollar of my budget, you want to know what my budget is.
	Okay, I understand that it's hard for everybody out here.
	No, it's really hard for me.
	Okay.
	I'm getting a panic attack.
	You need medical attention?
	Would you like me to call you an ambulance?
	I can't.
	Okay, if you want to sit down, I can explain this to you, okay?
	You beg me to take it?
	I'm going to take you to the court, because I have...
	Ma'am, you have to calm down.
	I have...
	I have PTSD! I'm going to protest this in court.
	I love it!
	I have PTSD! What do you think?
	You know, we probably have a few police out there that listened to that and went, you know, this happens all the time.
	Every day.
	I'll bet it happens every day.
	And it's so pathetic.
	It continues.
	Just take the damn ticket.
	No, no.
	Well, I mean, the piece that I kind of edited out is a certain point.
	The cop is really nice that...
	The cop seems like a very nice guy, but he's got a camera.
	I think he should club her.
	Tase her was what I was thinking.
	He comes back and says, look, you didn't have your seatbelt on, so I'm just going to give you this.
	It's not a moving violation, so he won't get points in your license.
	So he finally got...
	Yeah, no, but then she starts bitching and going off on all this crazy stuff, and he says, well, you know what?
	I'm just going to give you the ticket for speeding, because she became a dick.
	You'll hear it, and it's in here.
	I'm going to protest this in court, and you're telling me that you singled me out.
	That's what you're telling me, right?
	And everyone was going at the same pace, right?
	I drive on that road at 30 miles an hour all the time.
	Are you going to listen to me?
	Yes, I will listen to you, and you're not going to let me go, even though we got the legislator.
	And I always do everything right, and I follow the law, and I was the same as every other car.
	Ma'am, you're going to let me explain this to you here?
	Yes, but I am also going to record our conversation.
	Okay, it's being recorded.
	We have video right here, and the whole conversation has been recorded here, too.
	Okay.
	You're more than welcome to record it, okay?
	All right.
	Tell me what you're doing here with the ticket, because I am late for a job meeting, and I'm going to...
	This is my career.
	Okay, can you let me explain?
	You're probably friends with all those guys who...
	Oh, the guys.
	Guys, I don't consider...
	I don't feel safe anymore.
	I don't feel safe here.
	I don't feel safe?
	Okay, well, everything's being audio and video recorded, ma'am, okay?
	I don't feel safe around you.
	You don't feel safe around me?
	No, no, I don't.
	Okay, well...
	I work 24 hours a day just to support my family.
	It just goes on and on and on.
	Unbelievable.
	I don't feel safe around you.
	I work 24 hours a day for my family.
	What a horrible person she is.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's been out on New York.
	And that's when, you know, these cops put up with, you know, you can't imagine.
	I mean, I'm sure she's not even on the scale from 1 to 10.
	She's probably an 8.
	Here's what I don't understand.
	How come we have all these statistics about how many black men or white men cops have killed?
	Why aren't we killing some of these white women?
	I mean, that needs...
	I'm sorry.
	Yes, Adam at Curry.com.
	Adam at Curry.com.
	That needs to start to be a statistic.
	I got nothing to do with it.
	Meanwhile, I just have a little break in the action here, because this is kind of news.
	I just want to play the horrible weather on the East Coast.
	It looks like they're getting slammed.
	But slammed.
	But slammed.
	Hey, David, we're not done with that snowstorm yet, so let's get right to that and show you where it's coming down.
	Still so in Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, the UP of Michigan as well.
	Dicey travel there.
	The southern storm, the tropical low there in the Western Caribbean, the hurricanes that are now putting out advisories with forecasting this to become a tropical storm just south of Florida.
	Tomorrow night, wind and rain there, and then gets scooped up.
	We'll look for the wind and rain increase during the day on Sunday.
	And then on Monday, we'll look for big winds.
	Look at the rain there, over a half a foot of rain.
	50 mile an hour wind gusts potentially from Philly to New York to Boston during the day on Monday.
	That could bring down some power lines.
	A strong storm coming.
	David, Rob Marciano.
	Well, I wasn't going to mention it, but they're actually expecting quite a storm tonight here in the Lowlands.
	Yeah, and they're even showing footage of a similar type of situation.
	With the atmospheric bands narrowing.
	This was, I think, maybe last year.
	Did it get butt slammed?
	Yeah, Holland got butt slammed.
	People died during that.
	It was pretty bad.
	It's media.
	It's like, oh, it could be like that one again.
	It's the same conditions.
	It has been extremely windy here.
	Like, you know, like you have to brace yourself a little bit against the wind.
	God, now I remember why I hate this place.
	It's like going through a car wash all winter long.
	Have Tina take some pictures of you being miserable.
	Tina is not with me.
	I thought you brought her.
	I wish.
	Oh, that's right.
	She has a, what is that thing called she has?
	A job, yes.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Have Christina take some pictures of you looking miserable.
	Okay, well, Christina and I are doing this Netflix thing, uh, Monday.
	Okay, well, people love seeing you in the newsletter looking miserable.
	I can guarantee you I'll look miserable because I probably will be miserable.
	Yeah, that's the idea.
	People love that.
	Okay.
	Your wish is granted.
	I have an offbeat clip, which you're going to get mad.
	How about I'm in the wind looking miserable with my hair all fucked up looking.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Anything that makes you look miserable.
	You can see my balding spots and stuff.
	Oh, dynamite.
	So I thought, and you're going to get a little mad because this is a Tucker Carlson.
	Oh, a little mad.
	I knew it.
	I knew it.
	Okay, the reason I'm playing this clip because it is a, at the beginning, at least the first part of the clip, there's a moment of genius in so far as developing arguments.
	When somebody says, well, you know, Women make up 51% of the population.
	Carlson has a new comeback for that simple comment, which I think is absolutely genius.
	Leaving aside the fact that there are a lot of who she's from in the Democratic caucus on the Hill, why is her gender central to her job?
	That's not the only reason she said she's going to be...
	Yeah, it's about Pelosi, right?
	Yeah.
	It's interesting you have this.
	It's not even interesting.
	I had this clip a couple shows ago and never got to it.
	So good.
	I'm glad you played.
	Why is her gender central to her job?
	That's not the only reason she said she's going to be there.
	She's been in political power for 30 years now.
	She's a great leader.
	She's great at what she does.
	She's a wonderful role model for women.
	So she didn't exactly say that she can be the only woman at the table, but she happens to be the only woman at the table.
	No, but she said it's important that I'm a woman.
	It is important that there's a woman at the table.
	Why?
	Why is that important?
	Well, because of the demographics of this country.
	51% of the country are women.
	We should have the demographics of our politics look like our country.
	No, no, no.
	No, that's not true.
	What, that's not true?
	No, according to modern progressive orthodoxy, there are 63 separate genders now.
	It's not just men and women.
	It's not binary, Kathy.
	I don't know if you're keeping up with this stuff, and I'm dead serious.
	I mean, I think it's insane, of course, but you're required to believe it.
	So if there are 63 separate genders...
	Then we should have them all at the table.
	We should have many genders at the table.
	Why just the same old, like, man-woman, man-woman, why not give someone from another gender a show?
	Fabulous.
	We should.
	We should have her at the table and let's invite the other genders at the table.
	But let's keep Nancy Pelosi.
	She is smart.
	She is great at what she does.
	And the players on her team want her to lead the team.
	They want her to be the captain.
	The DNC chair supports her.
	The chairman supports her.
	Her caucus supports her.
	That's why she's there.
	But in real life, look.
	I mean, she held her Democrats together for the health care vote in the first Obama term.
	That was impressive.
	I agree with that.
	Very, very.
	Republicans can't do that.
	No, they can't.
	You're right.
	And she lost a historic number of seats for doing that.
	But she did a good job there.
	She's had no victory.
	She's had no victory since then.
	And you know as well as I had talked to a congressman about it today.
	She's not going to get the 218.
	If Democrats win in the midterm, she's not going to be a reelected speaker because she's failed.
	Again and again and again.
	Everyone knows, and D.C. knows, that those losses cannot be blamed solely on Nancy Pelosi.
	There's so many other factors that play into that.
	Yeah, I love that.
	63 different genders.
	They all should be at the table.
	And she even fell for it.
	Yeah, she fell for it.
	Absolutely, it's fabulous.
	I think they all should be at the table.
	Well, Nancy Pelosi would just say she's a tranny.
	And we're done with it all.
	Well, she probably doesn't remember what she is.
	But...
	I like Carlson saying, you're required to believe the 63 genders thing.
	Yeah, but in real life.
	When he does that, he's just, this show has, I am stunned.
	But when is he going to get kicked off?
	He can't stay on forever, because he is just over the top with these shows.
	You know the term, I like using it, touching the third rail.
	He's actually putting his tongue on a third rail, night after night.
	It's crazy.
	So he's just swinging for the fences all the time with this unbelievable...
	And he's annoying.
	I watch him.
	It's very annoying to watch him because he just keeps hounding people.
	And it doesn't have a lot of variety.
	Well, he has the same format.
	It's like, ask a question they don't answer.
	Ask the question they don't answer.
	Ask the question they don't answer.
	Tell them they're not answering.
	Then laugh and then cut them off.
	Pretty much.
	That's the format.
	Which is okay.
	But not always.
	Because it gets boring because you know the format.
	Yeah.
	I just thought this was a good one because he entrapped her with this 63 gender.
	No, that was a really good one.
	That was a really good one.
	I appreciate it.
	He was setting her up.
	And as soon as she said 51% female, she's now in the trap.
	And then he said, oh, no, that's not true.
	And then so she would have confidence and think, what is this guy thinking?
	What do you mean it's not true?
	There's 51%?
	Sure there is.
	63%.
	Yeah, so she jumps on this and then he comes back at her with a 63.
	Beautiful, beautiful.
	I have a question for our subs under the water.
	We got a lot of submariners.
	We do?
	You know we do.
	I thought we had the one guy and his crew.
	No, we got a couple.
	We got a couple submariners.
	Okay.
	And I have not spoken to any of them directly because this only came in today and I think everyone's probably still asleep.
	This is from the Washington Post.
	Woppa, woppa, woppa.
	Nuclear sub-sailors fired after absolutely disgraceful parties with prostitute and cocaine.
	Which I think is a recruitment story.
	But still, according to the Associated Press, at least nine sailors tested positive for cocaine following drug-fueled parties.
	One man had sex with a prostitute in a swimming pool.
	They have photos of...
	Was it the commander?
	Let me see if it was the commander.
	Go Navy!
	Yeah, some...
	Like, not the commander.
	Maybe some important dude on the ship.
	Probably the executive officer, maybe?
	Yeah, where the hooker was dressed up in his uniform.
	Here's a tip, boys.
	Here's a tip.
	When you're doing the hookers and blow, there should be a camera or maybe just a whole cell phone ban, okay?
	It's just a thought for you.
	That's actually what the problem is because this is the self-incrimination problem that gangsters generally have in the ghetto and every place else where people or kids out of high school filming themselves doing illegal acts and thinking it's funny.
	It gets better.
	so this happened with several sailors of the HMS Vigilant they've been dismissed after their mission devolved into this drug fueled booze cruise and it happened last month when the sub was on the ship?
	I think part on the ship but part in the hotel as the sub was docked to pick up nuclear weapons just to make the story better hey man we're picking up some nukes Hey, baby.
	Just a tip.
	Don't worry.
	So I'd like our dudes in the subs under the water to let me know, is it really party time on these subs?
	And what happened to when you're underway, it's okay to be gay?
	I mean, what's going on with you guys?
	We need insight.
	We need boots on the ground.
	So we can report to the public.
	Yeah, because the real story.
	Because the public is now freaking out.
	They're like, no, maybe they're not.
	I think, again, it's like, Mom, I think I'm going to enlist in the Navy.
	Yeah.
	They sound like fun guys.
	Seems like the place for me.
	Yeah, those village people, they knew what was going on.
	So I have a couple, one, two more clips maybe before we get back to the thing.
	Yeah.
	Good.
	Oh, let me just do a little Afghanistan update.
	This is from CBC, our Scandinavian brethren.
	Well, in the statement from National Defense tonight, they said that the situation on the ground between Kurdish forces and Iraqi forces remains fluid.
	That seems to be code for they don't want to get caught up in the middle of the fighting.
	But Canadians have been there since 2014, training Kurdish forces for the most part.
	And the mission was recently extended in June by the Liberal government to include the training of Iraqi forces in the attempt to continue the fight against little pockets of the Islamic State that are still remaining in Iraq.
	So, Canadian forces were there to be boosting Iraqi and Kurdish forces' ability to fight ISIS, but with ISIS being routed in many parts, and with the Iraqi and Kurdish forces clashing with each other, where would that leave the mission?
	Well, that's a very good question.
	Right now, the mission is suspended, and the military says it's going to remain suspended until the situation between the Iraqis and the Kurds is sorted out and becomes much more clear.
	But there's been a lot of debate and a lot of speculation as to what the troops would be doing under normal circumstances.
	There's been some suggestion.
	That Canada could help perhaps in clearing mines and booby traps from the area.
	And also, as well, there are other elements of the Canadian military that are on the ground there, including a hospital and helicopters, and those remain unaffected by the suspension of operations in the training.
	I'm here in the middle of a whole bunch of military people, and I ask them about it.
	What's going on with the Kurds in Iraq?
	And so this is Scandinavia pulling out.
	So why are they pulling out?
	And the answer is uniform.
	It's a shit show.
	And the Kurds are relentless.
	Women fight and they don't care.
	They don't have any protective gear or whatever.
	They really, really care.
	I mean, those are true patriots for their country.
	And that's the word.
	It's a shit show.
	It's horrible.
	No reporting.
	No, none whatsoever.
	No.
	But it makes sense, if you think about it.
	There's another thing that we've got to get...
	I wanted to bring up on the show, which is the...
	So we can start following this character.
	The new Prime Minister or Chancellor, I guess, of Austria.
	The kid?
	Who's the kid?
	The new kid.
	The new kid.
	Yeah, the guy's like 25.
	He's like running Austria.
	Play the Austrian politics clip.
	Now Austria's newly elected Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has invited the far-right Freedom Party to talks aimed at forming a coalition government.
	Founded by ex-Nazis in the years following the Second World War, the Freedom Party came third in general elections earlier this month.
	The last time it was in government, the EU slapped sanctions on Austria.
	The party has, however, softened its tone in recent years.
	It says, however, that it will not enter government at any cost and is demanding greater border security and insists that Islam has no place in Austria.
	A party founded by former Nazis, which once existed on the extreme fringes of Austrian politics, has accepted an invitation to begin coalition talks.
	Nobody, least of all Chancellor Kurz, should believe that we're going to make it easy for his People's Party.
	We want honest, intensive, serious, productive negotiations.
	We're not interested in flattery.
	Incoming Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has vowed to be tough on immigration, yet pro-EU. He concedes that his Conservative People's Party doesn't always see eye to eye with the anti-Islam Freedom Party, but insists they do have enough in common to join forces.
	I gotta tell ya, this guy may actually be really cool.
	He's 31.
	He's 31, but he was, I believe, the foreign minister at 27.
	He's a wunderkind, by any definition, and he reminds me of what's his name up there in Canada, without being quite the flake.
	Is he married?
	Does he have kids?
	Do you think he's gay?
	No.
	All of Europe's leaders, the New World Order leaders, are childless.
	He has a domestic partner.
	He's gay?
	No, he's Suzanne.
	Oh, okay.
	Usually that means homo.
	Let me see.
	Well, or something.
	I'm just saying.
	Let me see.
	No apparent children.
	His nickname is the Wunderwussi.
	The Wunderwussi?
	No, Wussi.
	Oh, Wussi.
	The Wunderwussi.
	Who gave him that moniker?
	I don't know.
	But he is definitely a guy to keep an eye on.
	This guy is going to be major.
	I agree with you.
	I hadn't really looked into him, Sebastian Kurtz.
	Let me just see what his...
	A-U-R-Z. Yes.
	Thank you.
	I'm aware.
	The wiki doesn't have anything here.
	Well, the reason I think he's interesting is he obviously looks like a Hitlerjugend, which is just how the Austrians look, because that's where they come from.
	No, they all look like this.
	Yeah, but Austria...
	When they get older, they have a certain look, too, the old Austrians.
	But Austria may be ready for a huge reversal, you know, because they've kind of been the shit-ass country of Europe because, oh, you know, you guys, you guys, you, you, you, you, you.
	It's all you.
	That's where Hitler came from.
	You guys give up, the Anschluss, all that stuff.
	It's their time, and this might be...
	Yeah, this is just how kind of the young Europeans look.
	There's plenty of guys in Holland who look like this, too.
	Yeah, it's a look.
	He's an only child from Vienna, Roman Catholic parents, Joseph and Elizabeth Kurtz.
	Great name, Kurtz.
	His father was an engineer, his mother was a teacher.
	Hmm...
	He's got a good...
	It sounds like a legit character.
	There's nothing sketchy about him.
	He's living with somebody.
	That's kind of cool, I guess, if you're in that position, although it would be shunned upon 40 years ago.
	But why doesn't the wiki have anything on his domestic partner?
	Because that's all we care about.
	Does he have kids?
	Well, let's take a look.
	Well, it's not in the wiki.
	It's not in the wiki.
	I know it's not in the wiki.
	He doesn't have kids, I'm sure.
	And Suzanne Teal, or Tear...
	I don't know how you pronounce it, actually.
	Attire.
	Let's look her up and images search and see if we can find a picture of her.
	Yeah, let's see if she's hot.
	Come on, man.
	That's all we care about.
	Well, I got her here.
	Well, she's short.
	She's short.
	She's a shorty.
	I can tell she's a good woman.
	I can tell.
	I can tell.
	I can see how she holds his hand.
	I can see how she looks.
	She has raccoon eyes, though.
	That's scary.
	Suzanne Tear.
	Hmm.
	You don't think she's a little cutie?
	Oh no, she's totally cute.
	I'm just thinking if she's good for you.
	Is she a blonde or a redhead?
	She's blonde.
	Strawberry blonde.
	Okay, there's some pictures of her.
	She is short.
	Yeah.
	Nice smile.
	Nice smile, yes.
	Very nice smile.
	Okay.
	Somebody should teach her a lesson about modern makeup.
	Yeah, that she needs makeup and some clothing tips.
	I see there's some porn in here with a similar named woman.
	Hmm.
	I haven't come across this on YouPorn.
	I'm probably on the Bing.
	Oh, on the Bing.
	Google doesn't show that.
	I should use Bing from now on.
	You're right.
	She needs some makeup tips.
	She needs some makeup and fashion tips.
	Interesting.
	Thank you for bringing that up.
	I hadn't really done anything.
	Well, I just wanted to get it in so we could have started our...
	Yeah.
	Because this guy is not a slouch.
	Good.
	And I'm going to ask around, too, to see if anyone knows anything about him and see what's going on with this guy.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	We'll give you some news here at the No Agenda show.
	Yeah, something that nobody else covers.
	But they had to get that from a Euro news show.
	This guy's not even mentioned on the mainstream at all, even though he's...
	You'd think being 31 years old and running Austria or being the chancellor, you'd get a bit more...
	Yeah, a little coverage.
	And he's young?
	Yeah, that's what I mean.
	Because, you know, she's appealing to the youth.
	The youths?
	The youths?
	Yeah.
	I'm looking at this one picture of the two.
	She looks like she's about 19.
	Yeah, well, I'm short Apple and long Austria this week.
	Anyway, okay, so that's the catching up on that.
	The other catch-up I wanted to do is get the Bergdahl stuff out of the way.
	Oh, he's still around?
	Well, kind of.
	He comes up in the news.
	ABC covered the latest about him.
	I wanted to get that done.
	And we turn next here to gripping testimony in the military trial of Army Sergeant Bo Bergdahl.
	You'll remember seeing Bergdahl squinting in the sun after being freed by the Taliban, after being kept in a cage.
	Tonight, perhaps the story you haven't heard from a former Navy SEAL who went looking for Bergdahl and what happened to him.
	Here's ABC's Steve Osinsami.
	The military judge about to decide how Bo Bergdahl should be punished is hearing tonight from service members who say they risked their lives trying to rescue Bergdahl from the Taliban after he deserted his platoon in 2009.
	Retired Navy Seal James Hatch, seen here walking into court, suffered career-ending injuries during one of those efforts and cried on the witness stand.
	Telling the judge in North Carolina today that everyone on that mission was aware that he walked off.
	Hatch explained how he was shot in the leg and how a service dog was killed, a story he shared with CNN. I was laying there.
	Initially, I thought, man, I'm dead because I'm so close and I can't move.
	In the end, Bergdahl's face finally saw the sunshine of freedom after a prisoner swap in 2014.
	In his first television interview with British filmmaker Sean Langan, Bergdahl explains how he was being tortured and was held in a small cage for years.
	It's a cage that was welded together.
	It's about seven foot long by about six foot wide.
	My name is Beau Bergdahl.
	Bergdahl says he walked off base to report on an issue with a superior.
	Donald Trump on the campaign trail attacked him repeatedly.
	He's a traitor, a no-good traitor, who should have been executed.
	And Steve is with us now.
	Steve, the defense is now using those words you just heard from President Trump to try to argue that Bergdahl can't get a fair trial now in a military court.
	They are, but the judge in this case, David, says that not to worry.
	He can certainly render a fair decision in this case.
	If he decides to throw the book at this young man, Bergdahl could spend the rest of his life in a military prison.
	Now, if you remember when this story first broke with this guy, when they had to go trying to track him down, we had an insider that told us that the guy had walked.
	He was deserting.
	Anything that was being played out on the news was bullcrap.
	And we ran with that because we trusted this source.
	And everybody, not everybody, but a number of people condemned us.
	And...
	We stayed with that story right throughout the whole thing.
	Right to the end until they traded him.
	We stayed with it when his dad was up there with Obama on the podium and they were congratulating the whole thing.
	We felt it was bullcrap.
	I just want to mention, remind people that we tend to be on the right side of these stories.
	Yeah, and what we still need is a little bit of information on the exchange.
	Remember it was the drug dealers they let go?
	The big drug guys?
	Yeah, they let a bunch of big shot drug dealers.
	Yeah, we had a thesis that it was so the drug dealers could be put back in place.
	Yeah, to run the drugs.
	To run the things because we had to get out of there someday.
	Yeah.
	Well, Afghanistan, we're not getting out of there anytime soon.
	Okay, the last little thing I want to keep up with, which is the...
	is this story which is the old line Republicans targeting Bannon Banyan.
	And I'm not sure what this is all about.
	I'm trying to figure it out.
	Washington Post is reporting the establishment Republican Party has declared open warfare on President Trump's former chief strategist, Steve Bannon.
	Bannon is the head of the far-right news outlet Breitbart News, which has been described as an online haven for white nationalists.
	He's also the leading figure in the insurgent far-right of the Republican Party, The establishment wing of the Republicans led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has now formed a super PAC called the Senate Leadership Fund ahead of the 2018 congressional elections with the aim of specifically attacking and discrediting Bannon.
	Banyan.
	I thought that was interesting.
	It's not a haven for white supremacists.
	Stormfront, there's a whole bunch of havens for white supremacists.
	Breitbart isn't.
	Did you see Roger Stone got suspended on Twitter?
	Yes, I did.
	Again, dumb move, Twitter.
	You stupid.
	You stupid.
	I couldn't even figure out what he did that would get him kicked off.
	He called someone a cocksucker.
	Oh.
	So what?
	Why don't you look at Rob Reiner's tweets about Trump?
	That does not align with their terms and services.
	I'm sure, but he'll get reinstated if they're smart.
	No, they said no.
	Supposedly not.
	He's been suspended twice.
	Once you get suspended twice, two strikes you're out.
	Twitter ballgame.
	We'll see.
	It's stupid.
	It makes no sense.
	Rose McGowan, the poor raped actress, off the thing.
	Is she still off?
	No, I think she's back on.
	I think.
	Mastodon.
	Mastodon.
	That's all I gotta say, people.
	Noagendasocial.com.
	That's right.
	Noagendasocial.com.
	Open registration.
	Free hookers and blow.
	Okay.
	American Airlines, because I'm traveling with them.
	I thought you were traveling on Delta or...
	No, a British...
	Yeah, but it's a code share with AA. Oh, then you need this story.
	The NAACP has issued an advisory warning, black passengers, about a pattern of racist incidents on American airlines.
	Oh, cool.
	The NAACP cites multiple instances in which African-American women were removed from flights or switched from first class to coach.
	Right.
	It also cites an instance in which an African-American man was forced off a flight for responding to the racist comments of fellow white passengers.
	The NAACP says these events, quote, suggest a corporate culture of racial insensitivity and possible racial bias on the part of American Airlines, unquote.
	American Airlines says it does not tolerate discrimination.
	I don't believe this story at all.
	I don't believe this story either.
	Who launched this and why did Amy run it?
	N-double-A-C-P, and Amy ran it because it was launched by the N-double-A-C-P, and it had to do with racism, whether true or not.
	That can't be right.
	Hold on a second.
	N-double-A-C-P, American Airlines.
	You know, these guys, they always do.
	They did that whole thing, you can't go through the whole state, you can't go through St.
	Louis because it's racist and dangerous for women, and it was all about some...
	Some law that had...
	Something about a school or something stupid.
	I see something like this targeting a company that I'm familiar with and I've been on their flights a million times.
	I think they're just shaking them down.
	I think it's a shakedown.
	They're like the new Sharpton Incorporated?
	Yeah, the new Sharpton, the new Jesse Jackson, the...
	I'm going to look into this, because this is very troubling.
	Let me see.
	I think it's a shame down.
	The organizations warn African Americans to exercise caution.
	How come we haven't seen this on the news?
	If they remove one guy in one situation under any circumstance, especially a woman, this would be all over the news.
	They do it with everything that some weird happens on an airline.
	Let me just see what they actually say.
	NWACP for several months has now been monitoring a pattern of disturbing incidents reported by African American passengers specific to American Airlines.
	In light of these confrontations, we have today taken the action of issuing national advisory alert...
	It says, of issuing national advisory...
	It should have been A. National advisory alerting travelers, especially African Americans, to exercise caution in that booking and boarding flights on American Airlines could subject them...
	Disrespectful.
	Why are there words missing?
	No copy editor.
	I mean, this is from their own website.
	No copy editor.
	People don't use copy editors.
	This is stupid.
	To exercise caution in that booking and boarding flights on American Airlines could subject them disrespectful, discriminatory, or unsafe conditions.
	I'm missing a two in there.
	This travel advisory is effective beginning today, Monday, October 24th.
	Let me see.
	The series of recent incidents involve troublesome conduct by American Airlines, and they suggest a corporate culture of racial insensitivity and possible racial bias on the part of American Airlines.
	Among these incidents, okay, African-American man was required to relinquish his purchase seats aboard a flight merely because he responded to disrespectful and discriminatory comments directed toward him by two unruly white passengers.
	Okay.
	So it sounds like he was making a scene.
	Uh, Two, despite having previously booked first-class tickets for herself on a traveling companion, an African-American woman's seating assignment was switched to the coach section at the ticket counter while her white companion remained assigned to a first-class seat.
	I like to see that documented.
	Yeah.
	On a flight bound for New York for Miami, the pilot directed that an African-American woman be removed from the flight when she complained to the gate agent about having her seating assignment changed without her consent.
	That happens to anybody, whatever color you are.
	And four, an African-American woman and her infant child were removed from a flight from Atlanta to New York City when the woman, incidentally a Harvard Law School student, asked that her stroller be retrieved from checked baggage before she would disembark.
	Now these sound just like people making a scene, not like a specific to black or green or yellow.
	What was the last one again?
	She wanted something removed?
	An African-American woman and her infant child were removed from, that's And her infant child, I mean that's kind of padding the story, were removed from a flight from Atlanta to New York City when the woman, in parentheses, incidentally a Harvard Law School student, asked that her stroller be retrieved from checked baggage before she would disembark.
	It sounds like she was making a scene.
	About what?
	About the stroller.
	I don't know.
	Who cares?
	She had a stroller and check baggage and then she got on the plane.
	If you ask me, NAACP is racist.
	I'm sure there are four other incidents that had white people who did stupid stuff.
	Okay, well, I just felt the story seemed...
	It doesn't sound right.
	I'm with you.
	I'm with you.
	I'm glad we looked this up because that sounds like just bullshit.
	Ugh.
	How annoying.
	Well, anyway, so what I'll do is I'll, when I check in, I'll say, you know, I'm booked through American Airlines.
	Do I have to be worried about being black?
	I'll just ask them that and I'll record it and see if it's funny for the show.
	Okay.
	Yes, do that.
	Just being black, do I have to worry about what you're going to do to me?
	You're going to switch me all of a sudden from my world traveler plus?
	You're not black, sir, but I identify as black.
	Excuse me!
	I'm a black transsexual woman, I think.
	Transwoman.
	I know my rights.
	Good story.
	Right.
	Well, that's no agenda for you.
	All right.
	Give me something good to get us out so we can get into the donations.
	I'm ready for some...
	Well, we can catch up on the Fusion dossier, this ABC thing.
	Interpreting the Senate.
	I don't want to do the Mattis stuff.
	I can do that later.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Let's do the dossier and catch up on that, and we'll be all caught up.
	Where is the dossier?
	This is ABC's version of this story we haven't played.
	We're next here to that controversial dossier prepared as opposition research on then-candidate Donald Trump, alleging connections between the Trump campaign and Russia.
	It's believed that firm was first hired by a Republican opponent, and then the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee funded it from there.
	So tonight we now know who funded it, but some lawmakers say the bigger question remains how much of it is true.
	Here's ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross.
	Until now, Hillary Clinton and her campaign team would not admit any connection to the Trump dossier.
	The 35-page document prepared by a former British spy alleges the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians and includes uncorroborated, salacious allegations about Trump himself.
	It didn't come out until well after the campaign ended.
	It's all fake news.
	It's phony stuff.
	It didn't happen.
	The dossier on Trump was produced by a Washington-based firm called Fusion GPS, which had actually started digging up dirt on Trump for an unknown Republican during the primaries.
	After several Republican candidates dropped out, the Clinton campaign and the Democrats secretly paid Fusion GPS to continue their research efforts.
	The president today said he was a victim.
	I think it's a disgrace Former Clinton campaign spokesperson Brian Fallon said the Democrats did nothing wrong.
	I think it's important to remember that opposition research happens all the time in campaigns.
	In fact, it's standard practice in campaigns for both parties.
	I think it's important to know who paid for this dossier.
	What is more important than anything is whether the allegations in the dossier are true.
	And now one question is, which Republican first started Fusion GPS down the road of digging up dirt on Trump?
	Do you know who those Republicans are?
	Do you have any idea?
	I think I would have, if I were to guess, I have one name in mind.
	Give it to us.
	It'll probably be revealed.
	Wasn't willing to reveal it himself there.
	Brian Ross with us tonight.
	And we know that Hillary Clinton, the campaign, and the DNC helped fund this.
	But the question that remains tonight is which Republican opponent in that primary helped fund it too.
	Right, David.
	The Democrats say the firm first approached them in early March last year, which was just after several Republican candidates had dropped out of the race.
	And their supporters are now the prime suspects, David.
	Well, there you have it.
	The meme has changed from the guy was talking to the FBI all the time to they paid for it and Hillary paid for it.
	Yeah, blame Hillary.
	Yeah, but what has been removed from all of this is Podesta, and that's what I have a problem with.
	Yes, you noticed this before.
	Yeah, they're just not talking about it.
	They keep a really good job of keeping Podesta's name out of all this stuff.
	Podesta must be paying a lot more people than just politicians.
	I mean, why else would you not?
	It's too delicious to believe.
	Why else would you not bring that in?
	Are you kidding me?
	That's journos salivate over this stuff.
	Oh, wait, they're Democrats.
	You should talk to your boys about it.
	They would just...
	I don't know what the boys would say.
	They'd say...
	Really?
	They don't see...
	Conspiracy nut.
	They don't see the obvious?
	Maybe I'll bring it up and see what kind of response I get, but I'm sure that it'd be...
	When's your next...
	You could hear the eye-rolling in their writing.
	When are you next meeting with them at the humidor?
	I don't actually have anything scheduled.
	Okay.
	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.
	Ding, ding, in the morning.
	We have a few people to finish up with our thanks, and we're going to run through their names.
	We're not going to necessarily read all the notes this time, because we're on the extension, and I don't think we're obliged to do that.
	But I'll read a few.
	Starting with Anonymous, $167.
	And he just says Anonymous, NJNK. That's the way to start it.
	Joseph Green in Stevenson Ranch, California, 16667.

	I didn't realize I had a douchebag to call out.
	Do we do a karma?
	Do we do a karma?
	You've got karma.
	There it is.
	Other karma to go at the end for people out there.

	My millennial stay woke.
	Jesus, hold on.
	I'm so behind.
	Hold on a second.
	A fist bump, woke.
	And what was the last one?
	Mac and cheese living, the mac and cheese life, which is the thematic for this show for some reason.
	Yeah, why is that?
	And you know, it's...
	It's weird.
	I had a story.
	I think it was on the last show.
	I don't have it in my show notes.
	One of these big chains, not Whole Foods.
	Maybe it was Whole Foods.
	They're doing 20,000 servings of mac and cheese a week or something.
	It's just off the hook.
	You're making me sick.
	They can't keep up with the demand.
	I know.
	Well, it is sick.
	It's pathetic.
	It's how bad it's become.
	Okay, what was the sequence again?
	Okay, amen, fist bump, live in the mac and cheese life, and my millennials stay woke.
	And a karma, no karma, JK, no karma?
	Yeah, it didn't say karma.
	Amen, fist bump.
	Alright, got that.
	Live in the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
	My millennials stay woke!

	Just send your cash.
	You've got karma.
	Christopher Blanco, 150, Mayfield Hills, Ohio.
	Hi, guys.
	Since we got my smoking hot wife, Dame Ashley, Lady of the Lake, her knighthood, I decided I better start working on mine since she lords it over me.
	Thanks for the 10 years of amazing work.
	We don't know what we do without you.
	I'd like to ask for some business karma for my real estate business.
	I wish homes is the business.
	Also, a birthday shout-out for 11-year-old Jack.
	Thanks for keeping us sane.
	You know, this is a very brilliant strategy that he took here.
	Like, he wanted a knighthood.
	He's like, oh, I'll give her a damehood, and then she won't have a problem with me becoming a knight, you know?
	You've got Carmine.
	Brilliant.
	Brilliant.
	Sir John the Brewer in Bay St.

	Get this thing out of me!
	You've got karma.
	Get it out!
	Nicholas Oman 150, parts unknown.
	I forgot my last donation to mention.
	I made it tonight.
	Actually, I had unknowingly already made it tonight.
	I had one donation before that, so if this time I can be Sir Nicholas of Thief River Falls, that would be awesome.
	Also, if I can get some general karma, that'd be great.
	Of course.
	You've got karma.
	We're birthers.
	John, you and I, we're birthers.
	Birthers.
	Rob Tyson.
	I think.
	E-I-J. Yeah, Tyson and Leiden.
	Very good.
	Leiden.
	Leiden.

	Congratulations, boys.
	Request jobs, karma, plus dealer's choice.

	Jingle.
	Dealer's choice.
	Well, here we go.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Alright, moving along, down to Associate Executive Producers John Davis in Brentwood, Tennessee.
	I think he's on the night's list.
	I would think so.
	He doesn't give himself a name.
	But check.
	Check to see.
	I don't see anything.
	No John Davis?
	It's a huge list.
	Let's see.
	I get the list in front of me too.
	Don't see it either.
	No.
	You want to put him on there?
	Just ask Sir John Davis.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Well, is he on the list or not?
	He's not on the list.
	You have to put him on.
	Ah, John Davis, Sir John Davis.
	Okay, hold on, hold on.
	I'm looking on the list.
	I don't see him.
	Sir John Davis.
	Okay.
	Al LeBlanc.
	Capital L. Anyway.
	Glace Bay in Nova Scotia.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	He had jingles.
	He had jingles.
	You just glossed right over that.
	Come on, man.
	What are we doing?
	Are we doing these jingles?
	We're not running jingles.
	Oh, okay.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	All right.
	Got it.
	I'm good.
	After we get to executives, we just don't have time for any more jingles.
	I got it.
	I mean, if it was last week, yeah, we've been seven hours.
	We're not going to go another seven.
	So...
	They get the credit for the contribution, the jingles, of karma when needed.
	Jonathan Keegan in Charlotte, North Carolina, $112.35.
	First off, screw PayPal for taking so long to transfer my funds.
	Science will do that.
	We'll do these at the end.
	PD, not Paul Love, $110.00.
	From the daddycast.com.
	P.D. Love, sure.
	Been a supporter for many, many years.
	NJNK. Todd Rathkamp.
	$101 and one cent.
	P.D. Love was $110.
	Nicholas Counts.
	In Berrigan, Norway?
	Well, this is interesting.
	I'm an American millennial living abroad and never really followed news and politics until I moved here and everybody I met would ask me how I feel about Trump.
	At first, I didn't have any good response, so I tried to educate myself with the M5M. It didn't take long until I was completely fed up with their obvious tactics of twisting facts to forward their agendas.
	This is a smart kid.
	He's a natural.
	It was almost laughable how unreliable, biased, and often contradictory it was.
	I wonder what our American millennial living in Norway was watching before.
	If anything, maybe nothing.
	But then I started catching friends and colleagues both here and back home regurgitating the mantras word for word from the TV news.
	That's when I discovered the No Agenda show.
	And my God, is it a breath of fresh air.
	Nice to know there are some sane people who aren't afraid to ask questions and actually read policies.
	I appreciate the work you do and hope you'll keep it up for many years to come.
	I'm not sure if this donation qualifies for jingle requests, but if so, I'd like to hear JCD mac and cheese.
	I think we should just do a live mac and cheese.
	I think we've done mac and cheese five times already on this show.
	So you just say mac and cheese for you.
	Living the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese.
	You slaves can get used to it.
	Perfect.
	That's a good one.
	Caitlin Williams, Seven Springs, North Carolina, $100.33.
	Now, the following people, all $100, they'll be associate executive producers, name and location, and maybe a note if it's interesting enough, and we do have a couple call-outs.
	Douglas Pilgrim in Hingham, Massachusetts Nuts.
	Andrew Thompson in Parts Unknown, and he'll be Knight of the Blue Water.
	We got him on the list, I believe.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
	I don't know why this one just says license and it's in red.
	This is James Williamson.
	This is James Williamson.
	Name, suit, and tie guy.
	Message, Caleb is still a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Also, waiting on my podcast license.
	Okay, email me, adam at curry.com.
	Take care of it for you, Broseph.
	David Dufour, 100.
	Tim White.
	Second donation, but less didn't make it, so de-douche me now.
	He needs a de-douching, thanks to Austin and Laura.
	You've been de-douched.
	I never thought the day would come where I said, stop donating.
	It's just too much.
	It's just too much time.
	Yeah, well you haven't said that yet and you're not about to.
	Not Jake from the Quiet Corner.
	Ian Larson in Riverhead, New Zealand.
	He says the NZ Grote at XLS. Something about asking Alexa about the NZ Grote.
	I will.
	I don't have her with me, but I will.
	Oh, okay.
	When we get back.
	It's Ian Larson in Riverhead.
	Matt Smichinsky.
	Smichinsky?
	Smichinsky?
	Yes.
	I think so.
	Smichinsky.
	Ten more years, he says.
	And please call out my dad who hit me in the mouth as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	We always love douchebagging dads.
	Yep.
	Smichinsky, where am I? Okay.
	That's Juan Francesco Laramella.
	Maja.
	Maja, I think.
	Some karma for the three-year-old.
	Three-month-old.
	Three-month-old human resource karma.
	You've got karma.
	Kevin Key, 100.
	And finally, Dame Susan Johnson, who did actually send a little card in that just said happy anniversary.
	But it's a card.
	And now we're down to 80-008.
	Sir Cross Stitch.
	Boob.
	Boob.
	Amanda Bolin?
	Boob.
	8008.
	Sir Brian Kaufman in Scottsdale, Arizona, 7575.
	A long note from Chris Wilson, 7388.
	Chris does a lot of our end-of-show songs.
	Let me see what he says here.
	Please find the tax donation of 7...
	Oh, this is kind of important.
	7388.
	Trump casino tokens, which cost me $104.65.
	Subtract the PayPal service goat fee of $4.28.
	Leaves $133.
	Sorry, dollar a dues.
	Enough with the two for...
	Enough with the two for a penal colony parody to earn an esteemed associate executive producership for the best podcast in the universe.
	I shall retain my status as an Esquire, a moniker that is rarely mentioned on the show.
	True.
	And I would like you to instead please credit my human resource, Felix Wilson, with an associate executive producer credit as he is turning eight today, 29th of October.
	We shall do that.
	John, let me just write that down.
	But he also says a douchebag call out for Felix and his friend Alexander, Nicholas, and Ruben.
	Okay, hold on.
	We got that here.
	Over the one bounce game.
	Got it.
	Two, three, four.
	What?
	Four douchebags.
	Four douchebags?
	Geez, I don't know if I have a bag that big.
	Douchebags.
	It's Alexander Dickinson.
	Douchebag.
	Give it a bonus, a douchebag to somebody.
	Douchebag.
	All right.
	One word.

	Yeah.
	Thank you very much.
	And I'm glad we were able to take a little bit of time at the end of the show to get everybody in.
	And again, if there's anything that we missed, send an email to, who do we send to?
	John at Dvorak.org.
	Yeah, send it to me.
	Subject title, error.
	The word error.
	Error.
	A couple came in this morning while we're doing the show late, but we'll get to those.
	We have one more day to finish this off, and then the next show is the end of it.
	So we'll catch all the errors up if you've got any more new errors.
	Yeah, that should be all good.
	All caps, error.
	Error.
	Big-ass error.
	All right, everybody, let me just make sure we do a big jobs karma for all of those who need it.
	And remember that we do have another show coming up on Thursday.
	I'll be back at the...
	In the drone star state, and who knows what will be happening.
	It's always fun on show days.
	Dvorak.org.

	Okay.
	Dame Elizabeth and Sir Big Johnson.
	Sorry, Adam and John.
	It was my grammatical fallacy.

	What I meant to say, Dame Elizabeth of the Hudson Valley and Sir Big Johnson of the Hudson Valley.
	Okay.
	I remember that.
	I remember that.
	It's going down in the peerage guide.
	Forever.

	And one other thank you going out to SpookyR and MSSmallBiz.
