Do it again!
Do it again!
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
And Sunday, November 5th, 2017, and this is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination episode, Niner 7, Niner!
This is no agenda.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason, and plot, and broadcasting live from downtown Austin, Tejas, capital of the drone, Star State, in the Cluedio, in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Okay.
No weather, no Zephyr.
What's going on?
What's wrong?
The weather is actually pretty nice.
It's supposed to be raining all weekend.
It's sunny.
There's not a cloud in the sky.
Of course, they changed that report yesterday.
On schedule, as usual.
It's right on.
The Zephyr looks like it might be...
If it's going to come by, it's going to come by pretty in a minute.
Otherwise, it's going to be late, as usual.
It was on time yesterday, though, just so you know.
Okay, so why are you all jacked up today?
I got an hour younger.
Oh!
You know, I was telling Tina, the keeper.
She said, oh yeah, we get to sleep an hour longer.
I said, this is probably the happiest day of John's year.
And I'm not quite sure why, but you are always so happy when you get an extra hour.
Yeah.
Why?
And you know the joke?
No, this is not a joke, is it?
No, you know what the joke is?
Uh-huh, no.
I got up at the same time.
Me too.
Yeah, I got up an hour early.
I know, I woke up early too.
It made it so much easier to do all the prep because it's like there's no rush.
It's true.
Not looking at the clock going, oh God, I've got to get this clip finished.
I've only got five minutes left.
I know, I got an extra...
I can actually see that you did more clips than usual as well, I think.
Well, maybe about the same.
But I snuck in like I got a new interview with the sheriff from Vegas, from Clark County.
Oh good, we need that.
Yeah, yeah we do.
I haven't done all of it, but at least I got a start for us today.
And I have a report, John, because yesterday was the big Antifa day.
We are not leaving until the Trump-Pence regime are gone!
And by the way, the Zephyr is going by as we speak.
Ah, perfect.
The show is on track.
Yeah, there's a train.
So at one o'clock, and we could see this perfectly from our balcony, they were in front of City Hall here in downtown Austin, and at one o'clock there must have been maybe six people.
One guy with a helmet, because I had the binoculars on.
Actually, I posted a YouTube video.
I missed it.
Ah.
And then there were a whole bunch of guys across the street on Cesar Chavez, and they had on yellow emergency vests with big Confederate flags waving everywhere.
So it was like, oh, this is going to be such a tense standoff.
And, you know, there were maybe like, I don't know, 40, 50 peoples there, and then the guys with the Confederate flags came onto the square, and there were the Austin cops, just whoop!
They created a perfect barrier, all on bikes, created a little semicircle, stood there for about an hour, until everybody went home.
And that was it.
Well, maybe Austin was the least of it.
I didn't see much reporting on any of these Antifa protests because I wasn't watching CNN. Wasn't the whole idea was we're not leaving until the Trump-Pence regime is gone?
Yeah.
Well, they left.
They had to be home before the streetlights came on, I think.
And it was total LARPing on both sides.
You know, some guy drove by in a truck, you know, rolling coal.
Too pussy to put a Confederate flag on the back, just an American flag.
It's like, okay, oh boy, boy guys, really good.
It was all just complete...
The cops, I gotta hand it to them.
They had to stand there for an hour with their bikes, you know, kind of creating this barrier between these two groups of morons.
Total retards.
Just so stupid.
What a waste.
Waste of time.
They're LARPing, playing.
Look what we can do.
Completely stupid.
I think you made your point.
I didn't see anything.
That's why I wanted to make sure you really heard my point.
Because it was...
I mean, they had helicopters.
Everything was ready.
I think this was the Vista.
You can't use that for everything, John.
I'm using it for everything.
I like it for the iPhone X, but I don't think you can call this...
Well, maybe we should just call everything the Vista.
The Vista of protests.
Trump is the Vista of presidents, perhaps.
The Microsoft Bob.
That would just kind of link everything to tech news.
Whenever you say Vista, there's always someone tweeting or posting that, no, it's Microsoft ME. That was the really crap operating system.
But I disagree.
No one even remembers that.
Well, here's what...
Vista was the one that was most...
I mean, ME was condemned, but it was a laughable in-between thing.
It wasn't a big deal.
Microsoft didn't have big parades for all MEs coming out.
Microsoft didn't make a big deal out of it.
Nobody did.
So it doesn't count as something you'd ridicule like Bob or in the case of Vista, which was given the big boost.
There was a great change.
We had people that Mac, major Mac users would come out and say, this is a great operating system because it was very much like the Mac.
And personally, I didn't find it to be that bad.
I used it for a number of years on one of my machines.
And...
I didn't think it was as bad as everyone made it out to be.
It didn't crash a lot for me.
It may have been the hard one, I'm not sure.
I didn't like 8.
I kind of like 7, but 7 took away a lot of drivers and certain things wouldn't work anymore and never would.
Eight, I didn't like at all because it was corny, and then ten's okay.
Ten's okay.
So I like ten because I've used ten outside of show times.
I've just been using Windows a lot, and I really like it.
It's fast and zippy.
We've been through it before, but now I've got to start transitioning, and I thought I was going to go straight to the Surface.
I now have this interim step, and I'm saving for this one.
I got the Dell Multi...
Device monitor.
So it's a 4K monitor, but you can split it up and have different inputs.
So I could do the show with everything on Windows with just the audio portion in part of a window running on the Mac.
Okay.
And then slowly I can transition everything over.
Sure.
Oh, you have little faith.
Hey, somewhere around our 15th anniversary it'll be done.
It's not much of that.
I'm deathly afraid one day Apple wakes up and says, ah, we don't like how this works.
We're just going to change it.
I don't blame you.
I think it's very risky to be on the platform that does that.
And they do it all the time.
Yeah.
And for sure, for sure, it's Microsoft's turn.
You can't deny Apple is at the peak of their game.
I mean, how much bigger and better can they get?
That's the biggest company in the world.
Yeah, so isn't it time to short them?
I don't see any evidence of that.
I mean, I'd like to think so, but no.
Oh, I do have a tip.
I do have a real tip.
An actual tip.
On Friday, there was a Ronald McDonald House charity thing, and I was fortunate enough to put together a no-agenda team.
This was the first clay shoot.
I'm sorry, clay?
Yeah, we were shooting clay.
Clay animation?
Clay targets.
Oh, you're talking about...
Oh, you're talking about...
Okay.
Yeah.
So it was to raise...
You were...
Yes.
Skeet shooting.
Well, it's called...
It was the first clay classic, to be exact.
You made it.
Yes.
That you were shooting...
I thought you were shooting a movie using claymation.
Yeah.
That's what I do on my Fridays.
Oh, I can't...
Well, I don't know.
I want to do some claymation.
Yeah.
Holy mackerel, he's gone into claymation.
So this thing was out at the Texas Disposal Systems, which is...
What a great idea.
They're pretty much the...
What do you call it?
landfill and then they just planted all this beautiful stuff on top so it looks really nice they got like a safari park and you can go and also shoot stuff but we weren't shooting stuff they had this big open kind of range with hills and water and all kinds of stuff and then it was different stations and you knew different scenarios for shooting clay but listen to my team first of all we needed someone with a gun so we got Sir Gene obviously Duke of Texas because he had the guns
You guys all used the same gun?
I don't have a shotgun.
Yes, and it was even worse than that.
Here's all these Texas dudes, right?
And then we come along with the fancy Italian shotgun.
You know, matte black.
We're really looking like douches.
None of us can shoot.
And so it was Gene, Brian Brushwood, his wife Bonnie, me.
Did she shoot?
And she's good.
Good for her.
I was surprised.
I was very surprised.
Keep them honest.
Actually, I had asked Brian a couple months ago, hey, do you want to come to this thing?
And he said, oh, I have to ask my wife.
I'm like, what a pussy?
Really?
Well, you know, he's had the work done.
Yes, this came up.
He's transitioning.
But I really thought, what a pussy, man.
He's going to ask his wife for permission.
And then, you know, we had this one spot.
And of course, instead of just calling the guy out like that, you know as well as I do, having been or would be married, that you do that sometimes because maybe you don't want to go.
And so you're looking for some...
So you don't have to make the decision at the moment.
You come up with that excuse, which I'm sure is what he did.
And then he talked over to his wife saying, oh my god, Curry wants me to go shooting with him.
I haven't even shot a shotgun before.
So I have.
Let's go.
I want to do it.
You could not be more wrong.
What was really going on...
I could be a lot more wrong.
I could be a lot more wrong.
Okay.
Anyway.
There's no evidence you're a lot more wrong.
So careful.
I could be a lot more wrong.
Anyway, go on.
And, no, so it turns out she's the shooter.
And you're like, oh, bring our shotgun.
That's what my theory was.
That's my theory.
Yeah, but that's not what I thought initially.
Anyway.
And then we had the former New York banker who I don't think he had ever held a gun in ever.
Ah, that's funny.
And he was pretty good, though.
Some people are naturalists.
A lot of people, once they shoot a gun a few times, they go, hey, this is no big deal.
It's interesting.
I like it.
It was fun to see him do it, though.
He didn't drop the gun after he shot it.
No, but he's lefty, so it was a little weird, because then the shell was pretty much ejecting past your face.
Unless you have a lefty gun.
If you're a lefty, you can still shoot.
Anyway, he gave me a tip.
He gave me a tip.
He says, by February, Tesla will be no more than $100 a share.
By February.
What is it now, $300 or something?
It's just bouncing in and around the $300 range.
Yeah, he says by February, it should be no more than $100.
Why would he say that?
He had this whole theory, but we were too busy shooting.
I was like, I just wrote that one down.
Okay, Tesla's short.
It's one of those things, it's like, it reminds me, people who invest a lot, there are certain little trap stocks that you have to really be careful of.
Netflix being one of them.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
And so you think, oh, yeah, this is way too expensive.
It's a jip, as a matter of fact.
I'm shorting it, or I'm not doing this or that.
It's like Bitcoin.
Well, he's never, never told me, you know, he's never come up with anything like this out of the blue, so...
Okay, well, keep it in mind.
But you do have to be careful, because when you get, you know, Tesla, I'm sure there's a reasonable short float going on.
No, there's probably a huge short interest.
It's called short interest.
Yeah, that's what I mean, short interest.
They could get a squeeze.
And there's probably, I would say, if you were going to play that game, you'd find a reasonably good put.
That's what I'm talking about, John.
And you wouldn't have much of a risk.
That's what I'm talking about.
You go find the put.
You lose 500 bucks in your soul.
Well, you go find the put.
Yeah.
I know you will.
Oh, look.
Yeah.
Anyway, and I met Mark Henry, the WWE wrestler.
He was there, too.
I don't know which one he is.
He just retired.
I think he just retired.
He's like 25 years at WWE? Did he scream at you when you were talking to him?
No, but we did want to, you know, I said, hey, man, can I take a picture with you for my daughter?
Because she likes that.
And he says, yeah, and he gets up.
Selfie, selfie.
Groupie!
He's two inches taller than I am, and he holds his fist up, and it's as big as my head.
It's got a big hand.
That's huge!
Huge, I tell you.
Anyway, there was more going on.
Well, I had a fascinating weekend.
Okay.
Was it Mimi's birthday?
Yes, yesterday was Mimi's birthday.
She should have been on the list.
No, she was not on the birthday list.
I didn't know it until yesterday.
I specifically sent Eric a note to put her on the list.
He hates his mom.
It's obvious.
That's interesting.
Oh, I did.
Oh, shoot.
I did the giggle again.
Stop.
Oh, is that that?
Yeah, I hate that.
I hate that.
I hate that.
I'm working on it.
I can't catch it.
I'm sorry.
No, believe me.
I should have caught it.
I didn't catch it.
Plenty of other people are catching it for me.
Yeah, so did you go?
Where is she?
Is she down there with you?
Is she up at the ranch?
We very rarely celebrate birthdays.
Oh.
It's very unusual.
Except yours when you have to go to New York.
That was because it was my 60th.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Yeah, now I remember.
I forgot why we went to.
No, it wasn't for my birthday.
Everyone wanted to go see a couple of plays.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, it was just coincidental then.
You know, we can have a meetup.
Right.
And we can right off the trip.
There you go.
Right off the trip.
Okay, so what'd you do?
I went to Costco.
Oh, wow.
Riveting.
And I picked up some Beaujolais there.
Ah, 2015?
2015?
And Whole Foods, yesterday or Friday, for Whole Foods, they had a 30% off their wine sale and they're moving goods like there's no tomorrow.
Every time I go to Whole Foods and I always ask the checkers about the business, they say it's doubled.
Yeah, it's going well over there, isn't it?
Yeah.
So you have to, not now, but I'd love to know what I need to go pick up at 30% off.
I'm sure we have the sale here, too.
It was a one-day sale.
Oh, damn.
And it was not over the radio, so I don't know.
I think it's a spot sale.
They just probably do them here and there.
But you should look into it because they actually have a reasonably good wine selection.
It was some very, including a very unusual wine.
I know the winery, Jaboula, it's a Rhone Valley guy.
And he makes a Cote de Rhone that's dynamite.
But this was a completely different label.
And it was organic and had all kinds of biologiques listings on it.
Oh, biologiques?
Biologiques.
Whoa, baby!
That's classy biologiques.
That was my exciting weekend.
I didn't get to go shooting.
Okay.
Well, why don't we start with...
I watched Bill Maher over the weekend.
I saw that show.
I wanted to get some clips from it, but I couldn't pull one.
I'd be interested to see what you got.
Okay.
Well, I only got the Men Hate, I guess, I thought was kind of the only stuff that was...
Well, yeah, it was just all about men.
Men are stupid.
White men are stupid.
Here's a bit, I think, from his monologue.
The Republicans unveiled finally this week their new tax plan, so hang on, Americans billionaires.
Help is on the way.
And it's amazing.
I mean, remember the Tea Party?
Remember the Tea Party back in 2009, 2010, the way they took over Congress?
Based on their bedrock principles that debt is out of control, our biggest crisis, an existential threat to our way of life.
Yeah, forget all that.
Yeah, this new tax plan blows a $1.5 trillion hole in the debt.
And someone asked Paul Ryan, they said, when did Republicans stop caring about debt?
And he explained, after careful consideration, that the current president is white.
There you go.
I guess if you're white, the tax plan is for you.
It's total discriminatory.
That's my takeaway there.
I guess so.
So then he went off on his whole tangent about movies with men driving.
Yes, I thought it took a little too long.
It did, and I cut all that part off, except it kind of picks up with the baby driver.
I happened to see that movie, Baby Driver, when I flew over to Europe last weekend.
Did you see the movie?
No, but the kids, our millennials here have, and they were disappointed in it.
I enjoyed it.
Because it really wasn't that much about driving.
It was a good story, and it was a cute little movie.
I don't know how much it cost.
I hope it didn't cost too much.
But I enjoyed it, and it certainly wasn't, as he described, another movie with a dumb, dumb dude who thinks that driving saves the universe, because that was kind of the consensus.
And then while he's doing this, he slips in this joke.
Well, I'll let you hear it.
Only Baby Driver can get us out of this with his great driving.
LAUGHTER In traffic!
Baby Driver is so indispensable to the heist that the rest of the gang actually hates him because they think he's too young to be that great a driver.
Well, everybody but Kevin Spacey thinks he's too young.
So, and there's Rob Reiner, like Ed McMahon almost.
If If this were a woman, this joke would have been completely wrong.
But, oh, it's a gay guy, and, you know, with a younger boy, we can laugh about that.
Like it's not a horrible thing, all of a sudden.
I found that to be very strange.
I've been rethinking this entire thing since then.
I sent you a copy of the Juliana Margolis.
Margolis.
Margolis.
She wrote a very...
Or she didn't write one, but she was covered...
About this issue because she had been, you know, not molested or anything.
I'll read the headline.
Julianne Margulis says Steven Seagal and Harvey Weinstein tried to sexually harass her.
And your note accompanying the story was, a pattern emerges, and yes, indeed.
So in that article, I hope we link in the show notes, all the different women are listed, from Heather Graham to everyone, and they all had something to say.
And, uh, I was, uh, kind of started to notice a pattern.
First of all, it's not brought out enough, uh, Julie, what's her name again?
Julianna Margulis.
Julianna Margulis.
The good wife.
Martha's Margulis.
Just call her the good wife.
The good wife.
She says that there's always a woman involved in this scam.
Yes.
A casting director in the case of Steven Seagal and then some other secretary.
Almost all of them.
Yeah, all of them.
But the other one was a casting director, and in the case of Weinstein, because she had a bad experience with Seagal, and she's young, she's 20, and she says she's not trusting anybody anymore.
Quick study.
And she looks like a girl who knows what's going on.
She says, yeah, I'll go up there, and you're coming with me.
Yep.
To the secretary, whoever was setting it up.
She said, no, I don't want to come.
No, no, I'm not going then.
You're coming with me.
So they both go up there and apparently there's the champagne and all this stuff, the same old, same old.
And here comes Weinstein, which is in every single one of these stories, comes out in the bathrobe.
And in this case, he takes a look at the secretary who's there with her, and apparently stares her down.
There's an exchange of glances like, you idiot, you ruined the whole scam.
Yeah.
And then they both left, and that was kind of the end of it.
But there's always a woman involved, a lot of casting directors.
Why not name them?
She's not naming them.
Nobody's naming them.
But there's women.
There are dozens and dozens of complicit, culpable women involved in this scam.
Now, that's one thing I think needs to be...
Before you continue on that, just let me say, the entire job of the casting director is to get what the director or the studio head or whoever is the person in charge of determining who's going to be in this film, to get them...
And to keep everyone away.
The casting director is very important, but not for the reasons you think.
It has nothing to do with your talent at all.
So they really are the pimps.
Procurer would be the right word.
Thank you.
The archivist.
Because a pimp is the guy who'd be making all the money.
Okay, procurer.
All right, we'll take that.
So there's that element that needs to be discussed, and these people need to be outed.
The second element that needs to be discussed that I think would be very juicy, and I think there's going to be a twist coming our way, but the second element is I don't believe that half the women didn't just have sex with Harvey and then go do a movie.
Who are they?
You'd think a few might have.
I think some on the list that say they didn't probably did, too.
If Harvey Weinstein said to me, you know, you can be the next X-Men, I'm like, get away from the plant, Harvey.
Come over here.
I'm an X-Man.
We'll let that slide.
So I believe that Harvey is going, because now they're going to arrest him in New York for rape and all this stuff.
I think Harvey's probably got enough goods on other directors, some of the people that worked with him, and some other producers, and the women who slept with him, that he's going to say, okay, I'm going to start naming names.
I'm going to name all the women who didn't say any of this, because they were quick to go to bed with me.
And I think that could be a big scandal.
In fact, if that situation is as bad as I think it is, I think it's possible he gets killed.
Ooh, that's juicy.
How does he do it?
Well, we already have TMZ out there stalking him.
Here's the story.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look at this stunning image of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, obtained exclusively by Page Six.
Emily, it appears to show Mr.
Weinstein on a plane with a suitcase filled with drugs.
In fairness, I need that much to get on a plane, but what can you tell us about this photo?
So this photo was taken at JFK in 2016, December 2016.
Less than a year ago.
Yes, than a year ago.
And he literally opened the suitcase in front of all the other passengers and all the other crew and started popping the pills.
Wow.
And that's just his travel pharmacy.
Yes.
Wow.
I mean, to me, John, it looks like the Grey Gardens of medicine.
Yeah.
He's like a hoarder or something.
Perhaps his next career is going to be as a pharmacist.
That is a lot of drugs.
How do people react when they saw that?
So I was told that somebody else in first class next to him said, good grief, Harvey, that's a lot of drugs.
And he said, I've got a cult.
Wow.
Wow.
That's like the Willy Wonka of Big Pharma right there.
I mean, videos are just as addictive as cocaine.
Wow.
Yeah, wow.
Okay, so it'll probably be a pill overdose.
No, I think heart attack.
No, that story's planted for just that reason.
Exactly.
No, that's why I played it.
Perfect.
So I think that that's one thing that's got to happen, and he hasn't suggested this yet, which may be because he's worried that someone's going to kill him if he does suggest it.
But I don't think whether he suggests it or not it's going to be.
He couldn't take it anymore.
There'll be some crazy reason.
There'll be some phony suicide if it happens.
And something's going to happen because this is too big.
It's been going on for too long.
There's too many people involved.
It's just not good.
There's too many fixtures out there that can take care of this.
I didn't clip it this morning.
On the chance that you saw it, Saturday Night Live, Larry David was hosting.
And did you see it?
I only saw the one sketch.
Actually, I recorded it, but I haven't looked at it.
But I did see it, because they played it twice for some reason.
So I saw the one sketch where it was a lousy sitcom that wasn't...
It wasn't funny anyway.
I fell asleep during the show itself, but I did see the open.
And it was very odd.
It was not really super funny.
And moreover, because at a certain point he's talking about Harvey Weinstein, he says, you know, I have to say it.
You know, it's pretty, because it's obvious, and let me be the one to say it.
Most of these guys in Hollywood, they're Jews.
And I was like, wow, what does he mean by that?
It was really odd.
I saw that show up on Twitter like a week or two ago.
Some anti-Semitic commentary about that.
Some anti-Semitic angle to this whole thing?
Well, I don't...
I mean, it's Hollywood.
It's like Hollywood.
The chances that you throw an allegation, it's going to hit a Jew.
I mean, I'm sorry.
It's just a fact.
But, you know, what is he saying with that?
I don't know what he's saying.
Well, there were a couple other interesting revelations.
We found out that David Korn from Mother Jones, yes, the same guy who was pontificating about the Steele dossier, he's being investigated for inappropriate workplace behavior, and he looks like it.
Yeah, he does.
He has a look.
Yeah.
There's a look involved.
A Soros fund manager.
I think he's going to be arrested.
This guy apparently beat women up and paid them huge amounts of money to get themselves fixed up and he was renting penthouses and having all kinds of really kinky, abusive, hurtful sex.
Geez.
And yeah, so now he's subject to a $27 million lawsuit.
Dustin Hoffman, we finally know what he's being accused of.
Sexual harassment against a 17-year-old who brought him breakfast on set and there were other men around and he said, ah, yes, my breakfast.
I love hard-boiled eggs and soft-boiled clitoris.
And I'm like, wow, he should be arrested for not being funny.
That's stupid.
It's just stupid.
Well, that's all goes back to the...
The Thomas Supreme Court hearings.
Now, I want to play this clip.
This is another guy involved in this, and I'm actually getting suspicious about this and slightly annoyed by the Kevin Spacey stuff.
Mainly, and I hate to sound like I don't care about anything but myself, But he was going to act in a movie where he plays Gore Vidal.
And I would have to assume that that would have been one dynamite portrayal.
Well, but think about it.
Kevin Spacey, basically he hasn't been acting all his career.
He's always playing a gay guy, some creep.
He's always playing creepy roles.
He plays a lot of creeps.
Yeah, but a lot of sexual creepy stuff.
Maybe it's not method acting.
Who knows?
Playing the type.
So here's Spacey.
Let's play this little clip.
Here's where he's touching nonsense.
Also tonight, a possible criminal investigation into actor Kevin Spacey in London.
The Guardian newspaper is reporting British police are looking into an assault in 2008 at the famed Old Vic Theatre while Spacey was artistic director.
It comes after new allegations from the set of his hit show, House of Cards.
This chamber chooses to debate Me?
Eight new accusers spoke anonymously to CNN, saying Spacey's behavior included non-consensual touching and crude comments, creating a toxic environment for young men on the set of House of Cards.
No comment from Spacey on the latest accusations.
The latest on Spacey there.
But let's get back to Harvey Weinstein and that breaking development.
Police saying they have enough evidence to arrest him.
It's rare to offer that up.
No arrest yet?
They say it's not imminent, and it is unusual to bring this up, but they say that this particular accuser had a detailed and credible account that they say was backed up by statements from her therapist, who apparently was told about the encounter at the time.
All right, Lindsay Davis on the case again tonight.
Thanks, Lindsay.
On the case.
On the case, yes.
Now, Spacey, it also came that Spacey apparently was shacked up with some underage minor.
Oh, boy.
Which is, you know, probably some 17-year-old actor or something.
The details of that haven't come out.
But I started wondering about this Spacey thing, because it seemed to be a little bit out of the blue, and there's got to be a lot more creeps out there than him, like Steven Seagal, for example.
You think maybe someone wanted to get out of a contract?
I think it's the gay community.
Ooh.
The gay community has been irked.
If you ever watch some of these, especially gay news, I didn't watch it recently because they changed the time.
Because he was undercover.
He was on the download.
They were on his case for being closeted.
To an extreme.
Okay, well there you go.
I mean, you'd listen to these guys' name.
I can't remember the guy's name.
There's a guy and a woman that do this gay news thing weekly on Free Speech TV. And they're just beyond, beyond bitching about Kevin Spacey and calling him out and condemning him.
I think that this was the community itself, and that's why I think the way he handled it was to get...
He knew what was going on.
He had to get ahead of it.
He had to get in front of it all.
No, he wasn't getting ahead of it.
He says, look, yeah, I've been harassing young men because I'm gay.
That was, to me...
And it did cause the backlash within the gay community.
Like, what is he associating pedophilia with us?
With us gay men?
That's what he did.
He did it on purpose.
Strike, counter-strike.
Counter-strike.
Yeah, good one.
Yeah, you're probably right about that.
Well, Bill Maher kind of made our point for us in an odd way, an extremely female-unfriendly finish of this segment.
You probably have noticed in America lately that there's something wrong with dudes.
The recent stories of sexual harassment are about many things, like misogyny and white privilege and old-fashioned being a pig, but I'm telling you, there is something toxic about it.
That's a little easy to just brush it aside like that, Bill Maher, but okay.
This male laziness.
If Harvey Weinstein had made even a minimal effort, join Jenny Craig.
Shaved.
Listened.
Generally tried to not look like a Russian cab driver.
He's kind of making our point, John.
It's like, you know, if he was good-looking, if he was hot...
I'm not going to call it our point.
I'm going to call it Eliza Schlesinger's point.
Eliza Schlesinger's point, yes.
He could have attracted women the old-fashioned way, by being rich and not entirely repulsive.
Yeah.
You know, with all these creeps, there's no whining, no dining, no game, no effort to be charming or witty.
Just open the bathrobe and say hello to my little friend.
And when they get turned down, what is with this epidemic of, I give up, you win, I'll just masturbate in front of you.
Cosby didn't even want his women conscious.
Apparently Mark Halperin's M.O. was just to rub his erection against a woman in the office.
Like he's some kind of horny spider monkey who dabbles in political analysis.
Someone needs to write a book called How to Behave with a Woman Like You're Not an Asshole.
With chapters like No One Carrying a Resume Wants to See Your Dick.
And no one wants to do it in a room where there's a coffee machine!
I love Reiner laughing in the background about all the fat jokes.
Yes.
Real nice.
Talk about a guy who needs to shave.
Yeah.
Now, um...
The word masher seems to have been lost in the lexicon for some reason.
I mean, we use it, but we're older.
Yeah, it's a phrase from machines.
Kids don't ever talk about mashers anymore, even though masher is exactly that character.
It's a different type of molesters.
It's kind of gross.
This guy comes up and pushes up against you, and it starts wiggling around.
I mean, these guys are infamously in the subways and buses and places like that.
Any woman who's constantly on a bus...
Or in a subway.
They run into these guys.
Because they're going from person to person.
Rough ride.
And to be one of those guys, I think it's a pretty gruesome way to go.
The masher.
I don't know.
There's going to be more of these guys.
It turns out that half of Hollywood, if not more, and a bunch of other guys are going to be outed for this.
It finally catches up to you.
I know at least one editor who's one of these guys.
A masher?
I don't know if he's a masher, but I know he gets fired a lot.
I think he's one of the guys who propositions women, or I'm not sure.
There's a theory out there.
I ran into a guy who was a librarian, and this was backed up by women I know that know him.
And this is like a legendary type of guy amongst men.
And this is the guy who goes up, and he's not unattractive, he's not attractive.
But he goes up to everyone he meets and asks them if they want to fuck him.
Does that methodology work?
Yes.
Hmm.
But it works on such a small scale that you really have to be dedicated to it.
And it appears to be, and according to everybody, if you've talked to enough people to try this trick, it's about one out of a hundred.
And I don't know, is that sexual harassment?
No.
I don't think it's sexual.
Probably considered to be.
Yes, by today's definition, sure.
But there's no real power involved.
It's just being a douche.
Yes, totally.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, when there's power involved, then it's harassment, then there's legal implications.
But none of it's good.
None of it's right.
But I've been propositioned by plenty of women, and I will say by some men, under the same premises, but, you know, I'm part of the 99.
I'm sure the proposition is a little less aggressive than would you like to screw me.
No, I was in show business at one point, before I became a podcaster.
And, no, some of the propositions were quite straightforward.
Oh, really?
Okay, well, that's good to know.
Yeah.
Yeah, you probably, you were like in show business a young boy, so you must have gotten some real interesting, you had some interesting anecdotes you could relay.
Yeah, there were tons of gay guys coming on to me.
It was very uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
It was uncomfortable.
Especially in show business, you know.
And touchy-feely.
Like, no, dude, just don't do that again.
Do not.
But I never made a huge deal out of it, you know.
Like, strike out.
Okay, that's three strikes in one.
Goodbye.
Oh, well.
I'm not trying to put myself on any of the same footing as women.
It is very, very different for them.
We have no idea.
And we were talking about catcalls.
It still happens.
And a lot of women find it very intimidating and, quite frankly, it's scary.
Even though we don't understand, just because we're dudes, we know it's harmless or that's how we feel it's harmless.
But it's intimidating to many women.
So we just have no standing.
Zero.
As long as we're on a podcast, we can talk about all we want.
Just don't say it in public where anyone might hear it.
Talking about women and the way they see things, there's a local story that I want to play that is covered in exactly the opposite manner that I would cover it.
We may have to play this clip twice.
Okay.
Because I want you to play this clip and try to...
And I'll tell you in advance, I think these guys have got it backwards.
And I don't understand why they have it so backwards that it's almost like they're trying to push in some sort of a...
I don't know if they're trying to get a meme into the societal thinking or what.
But play this stun gun story.
Okay, I was wondering which one it was going to be.
Okay.
44-year-old Leticia Sexton, arrested late Wednesday, now charged with a crime that defies both reason and logic.
It's absolutely crazy that an adult would go to this level to use a taser on a juvenile.
Santa Clara Police Captain Waheed Kazim says onlookers caught some of the violence on their cell phones last Saturday night.
Great America was packed for its 10th annual Halloween Fest, but around 10.30, dozens of young people ran through the crowds, robbing and assaulting some of the 20,000 guests.
At the same time, Sexton's teenage daughter and another girl, who attends the same high school, got into a fight.
Investigators say Sexton then attacked her daughter's rival with a taser.
You're left speechless at the end of that.
I mean...
The female victim did suffer moderate injuries.
Sexton is charged with three felonies, including corporal injury to a child, assault causing bodily injury, and assault with a stun gun.
Great America officials declined to talk on camera about the crimes, saying in a statement that the safety of our guests is our top priority.
I have absolutely no idea why she has a taser in the park, or quite honestly, how she got the taser into the park.
Great America's webpage states sharp objects, knives, and any other object that could be considered a weapon are prohibited.
Additionally, all guests entering the park have to go through a magnetometer or metal detector.
Investigators say apparently Sexton was able to smuggle the taser inside the park and then use it.
What does it say about somebody when They're the ones sneaking the weapon into the park.
That doesn't show much maturity.
Sexton is being held in the Santa Clara County Jail pending arraignment.
Hmm.
There's a couple of things in there that are of note.
There's a number of things, including that guy that kept making the commentary was...
Apparently, it looked gay to me, and the guy doing the anchoring had kind of a...
Lilted voice.
Which indicates to me that there's single men probably that have never had kids.
Because I'm with my daughter.
I'm in this park.
And the woman doesn't look that like some sort of a gangster.
I'm in the park with my daughter and she gets into a fight or maybe she got jumped.
We don't know.
I thought there was cell phone video of it.
No, yeah, they showed the video.
It's just a video of the riot.
There's no cell phone video of the woman tasing this girl.
So she has a daughter.
Is she frail or is she a big fat girl?
We don't know.
But let's assume she's frail.
And let's assume some tough chick, and there's plenty of them, and these are blacks, comes up and starts wailing on her daughter.
And she tases her.
So how is that a horrible thing?
I don't know.
How is that the worst?
I can't imagine anyone doing this, this guy says.
I'm thinking, I can imagine doing it.
I can imagine it, sure.
Crazy kid beating up my kid.
Yeah, give her a zap.
It's not like knifing her.
It's thoughtful compared to knifing her.
I don't know what the rules are on tasers in that locale.
Well, it's beside the point.
I thought it was a version.
It was like a kind of a self-defense situation.
But they're both of these guys, the two guys, the two guys.
I'm sure neither one of them have children.
They're just, oh, I can't believe it.
They're judged because to them it's like unthinkable that this situation could even occur.
Especially that second guy who I don't know who he was.
He was never Chiron.
We didn't know who he was.
Did he work for the park?
I can't tell.
Just some guy making these comments.
And I just found this to be one of the most abhorrent reports ever.
Ever.
And it was just taken in such a cavalier manner that, no, no woman should be in jail.
Oh!
Won't somebody please think of the children?
There was one other thing in that report that, you know, there was a lot of talk about the magnetometer and how could she get that into the park.
And this reminded me of something we didn't talk about.
I had it in the show notes for 9 or 7, 8.
Starting...
I guess it starts now.
At Levi's Stadium and MetLife Stadium, so Levi's Stadium in California, is that San Francisco?
Yeah, that's San Francisco, isn't it?
Santa Clara.
Right, it's the 49ers.
And MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, guess what is being implemented for security?
Something I believe may even be in the red book.
It's in the red book.
They're putting big monster scanners in.
Nope, that's not what I was going to say.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, but they'll have one other thing.
If you are TSA pre-check, you can go through the pre-check line.
Oh, I don't remember that being in the red book.
But it's a damn good one.
How about that, huh?
I like it.
Yeah.
You just take one year old PSA or PSA. TSA. Southwest.
No, I'm just thinking it's Southwest.
Airline tickets and show them the boarding pass.
I don't know.
I think they'll have the same system where they'll print your tickets and pre-check will be on the ticket or not.
This is a good way to get people to sign up for that program.
Yeah, get on the list, people.
We're probably giving them extra money to do that.
Sure they are.
Get on the list.
And by the way, speaking of...
It's not like...
I'm sure it was one of the...
It wasn't like a stun gun that shoots projectiles.
I'm sure it wasn't.
It was one of those little tasers that you...
They're handheld.
They're very small.
They pack a wall up.
And you could put that in your purse, you know, a little holder of some sort.
And they always go through the purse.
They're looking for knives and guns.
They're not going to see that.
You could get one of those into any place.
There's no question about them.
They're plastic.
So, again, the guy's aghast.
She probably carries this thing with her all the time.
I mean, if you're going to a place, a amusement park, and they've got a riot going on with just random kids robbing everybody that's actually in the park, I think it sounds a little dangerous.
I think I might have a taser with me or something to protect myself.
These guys are outraged by the logic of this.
It's beyond me.
I'm sorry.
You have made your point.
I'm wondering why you're so angry about it.
I just can't say.
I mean, it really makes me mad.
The illogic of it, the slantedness of it, it's just a hate field.
This report really bugs me.
Oh, that's nothing like this.
ATVU, by the way.
That's nothing like this report.
You want to hear some real hate?
A real head-scratcher hate?
You may have heard it already, but hey, not everybody.
Yesterday, these flyers were posted to at least two different locations, the University of Maryland and Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring.
The high school even caught the poster on surveillance video.
When I asked the school spokesperson what was going on, he sent me a web link to an older post that shows this was planned.
The page even says what to write.
Oh, and the post also says this.
We expect the anti-white media to produce a storm about these racist, hateful, bigoted flyers with a completely innocuous message.
Before I continue, do you know what was on the flyer?
What?
The flyer had one line on it.
It's okay to be white.
And everybody lost their crap over it.
The media response will rally new support for pro-white activism.
Well, this did upset a University of Maryland student who tweeted the flyer with her own message.
And being on social media, she got a flood of responses.
But she says this also included death and rape threats.
So now police resources are involved.
Prince George's County Police Department, they're investigating.
Montgomery County Police are aware of it.
And their parents, well, they're over it.
Just evil motivation and go back into your hole.
The high school's principal says this was posted to 10 exterior doors to the school and that this appears to be a concentrated effort to ferment racial and political tension.
Unbelievable.
It's okay to be white?
Yeah.
That is now...
What did that woman tweet that got everybody all bent out of shape?
Oh, I don't know.
It's irrelevant.
Just like the sound bite was irrelevant.
Some random guy saying, Oh, get back in your hole.
I mean, I can understand some kid going, It's okay to be white.
Although, we were thinking about this as we were watching Antifa.
And whatever else was down there.
You know, maybe the whole idea is to make white people feel the way colored people, let's just put it that way, it's not just exclusive to black, have felt for all their lives.
And then maybe in a couple decades from now, the white people will go, hey, black people, that feels shitty.
And the black people will go, yeah, white people, what do you say?
Well, maybe we should stop that.
And meanwhile, the brown people are taking over everything.
It's very strange.
I don't understand what the outcome is.
What is supposed to happen?
We'll figure it out.
No, we won't.
Yes, we will.
No agenda show.
We'll figure this out.
We figure everything else out.
This will be figured out.
It's going to take a long time.
It might be nothing more.
It might not take a long time.
And it might be nothing more than to keep things stirred up until the 2018 elections.
Okay, I'll take that.
That's the best we have so far.
Well, it's getting pretty lame, and this Donna Brazile thing...
Oh my goodness!
She brought in everything.
I have clips of her.
Did you get anything of her?
No, I only have overviews, so let's do the overviews first.
Okay.
And then you can go right to the clip.
Sure thing.
That should be better.
It's everything you desire.
I have a two-parter here from ABC, which is Rigged Election 1 and TWE. Yes, I've noticed.
Let's go with that.
Tonight, the president says the real story the Justice Department should be looking at involves his former rival.
You ought to look at Hillary Clinton and you ought to look at the new book that was just put out by Donna Brazile, where she basically bought the DNC and she stole the election from Bernie.
So that's what you ought to take a look at.
In her new book, Donna Brazile, the former chair of the DNC, writes of a fundraising deal Clinton's team struck with the DNC to help pay off the party's lingering debt.
Brazil writing in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party's finances, strategy, and all of the money raised.
Adding she had exerted this control of the party long before she became its nominee.
But what did Clinton get from the DNC? Clinton has said the party was broke.
I mean, it was bankrupt.
It was on the verge of insolvency.
Its data was...
Mediocre to poor?
Non-existent?
Wrong?
Senator Elizabeth Warren, who in the end was right by Clinton's side, was asked if this is proof the Democratic primary was rigged.
Yes.
President Trump pounced, calling Warren a name and saying Warren just stated the Democrats rigged the primaries.
Let's go, FBI and Justice Department.
And now Warren is pushing back at the president.
Okay, I have an alternative clip I want to play before we play part two.
Okay.
If you listen carefully to that one, at the end she says, calling Warren a name.
Now, what is wrong with ABC that they can't bring this out and make it a little funny or make the report more honest instead of just vague?
I think that's very poor reporting because if you play CBS Alternative Tweet or Warren, you'll hear what we're talking about here.
He harped on the same theme in a tweet about Senator Elizabeth Warren, who he calls Pocahontas because she claims to have American Indian roots.
Oh, I know why ABC wouldn't talk about it.
Hello?
It's their brand.
They own it.
Pocahontas is their brand.
They own Pocahontas.
What kind of news organization refuses to use the word Pocahontas because it's their trademark?
Because you always have to protect the trademark, and it could be used against them.
They could lose the trademark to Pocahontas if they just attributed it to Elizabeth Warren.
Pocahontas, by the way, is public domain as far as anyone in their right mind is concerned.
Well, yeah, so is Mickey Mouse.
But anyway, yes, true.
It's true.
Now, so Pocahontas becomes an issue here.
And they even blacked it out on, they showed the tweet.
They put the tweet up as an image.
Really?
And they got it blacked out?
No, what a bunch of pussies.
That's funny.
Well, yeah, the connection is so obvious.
That's great.
This is our national network news.
We're listening to an analysis.
Hey, it's poor.
Protect the brand.
Pocahontas.
Go to part two of the ABC clip.
Warren is pushing back at the president, tweeting, I understand your desperation to change the subject, Donald Trump.
Your campaign manager was just indicted for conspiracy against the U.S. And even the author of this new book about the DNC, Donna Brazile, is now accusing the president of changing her words.
Tweeting, So let's get to Mary Bruce live at the White House tonight.
Mary, bottom line here, is this illegal?
David, while many may call this unethical, this fundraising deal was not illegal.
And tonight, Republican Senator Bob Corker says the president's calls for the FBI and Justice Department to investigate this are, quote, totally inappropriate and not only undermine our justice system, but erode the American people's confidence in our institutions.
David?
Senator Corker, who's been at odds with the president for some time now, Mary...
Let's review Donna Brazil here, and I don't understand why this hasn't been called Donna Gate yet, because I think it has all the makings of a gate.
Donna Gate.
It's a show title.
Yeah, possibly.
Let me just pull a clip, because she had given questions from CNN. She was fired for that to Hillary, or a question for sure.
She, by the way, in the book, it indicates that that's not true.
Oh, really?
She was fired for it, but...
She kind of claims that she really didn't do it, but didn't want to get into a beef about who did or how it happened.
Let me just see, this is a clip of her stammering with Megyn Kelly.
I don't know what it is, but I think it was related to it.
I'm just sorry that we have, this has not been verified.
This is, nobody will, this is on the investigation.
And let me just tell you something.
If there's anything that I have, I will share.
I don't have a...
I got to run because we've got another guest.
Oh yeah, remember she was saying, oh yeah, the emails were changed, they were altered, it's not true.
It was all that, and then we saw the emails and...
Right, and there was a CRC check somehow, and it turned out those emails were all legit.
Yeah, and they were all legit.
But then she also, after she resigned, she immediately went to work for Hillary's campaign, didn't she?
No, she took over the DNC. Right.
She resigned from the CNN post.
I don't think she ever resigned from the DNC. I'm thinking Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, she's the one who, yeah.
Well, couldn't give her some soft, cushy job that was just free money.
So we had discussed a few shows ago that besides Harvey Weinstein being possibly to get under Hillary's skin and, hey, wait a minute, we got your number because we know you're into all this creepy stuff, especially your husband, and there's Lolita Island, and there's a lot of evidence that they're not on the up-and-up in this kind of arena.
We were looking for other shoe to drop to get rid of Hillary.
This is a very clear message.
And just looking at the face bag, there's...
This is about the fifth shoe, by the way.
Well, you know, with reptiles, you've got to have a lot of shoes.
There's a lot of tentacles.
So you've got to keep dropping them.
And she's pretty ironclad.
I don't know if it's really hurting her yet.
I haven't seen anything.
No real official response, as far as I know.
I think it's subtle, and I think it's with the Democrats.
I don't think the general public or the Republicans or the independents, anybody's thinking much of this.
They always suspected Hillary being a creep.
Right.
But I think that this is just to keep the Democrats from even considering letting her run again.
This is all about keeping her from...
They can't have an old woman who can't win run again in 2020.
It's just...
You might as well shoot yourself.
Yeah.
Well, I have three clips from her interview on ABC. Believe me, Pocahontas did not come up.
But there's something very wrong with her timeline.
And that's in this first clip.
And I wish I could play it as a big payoff at the end, but then the other things don't really make sense.
But just listen to her timeline of how she thought she might have to bring in Joe Biden and Cory Booker to replace Hillary as the candidate, which is how this interview starts off.
I think Stephan Apolopoulos says, well, you know, it's not your choice alone.
But she took responsibility for it and she was considering this.
Just listen.
Let's get some facts on the table first.
As DNC chair, you didn't have the power on your own to replace Hillary on the ticket.
No, but as you well know, the charter of the DNC as well as the conventional rules say that the chairperson shall in consultation with the leadership in Congress and others.
And so I had to put it on the table, George, because I was under tremendous pressure after Secretary Clinton feigned it to have a quote-unquote plan B. I didn't want a plan B. Plan A was great for me.
I supported Hillary and I wanted her to win, but we were under pressure.
How serious was this?
You're right that you got a call from Vice President Biden at the time.
Did you mention this to the Vice President?
No, I did not.
I mean, look, everybody was calling to see, do you know anything?
How is she doing?
And, of course, my job at the time, George, was to reassure people, not just the Vice President, but also reassure the Democratic Party, the members of the party, that Hillary was doing fine and that she would resume her campaign in the following week.
Do you still think that Biden and Booker would have won?
Well, you know, I had a lot of combinations.
This was something that you play out in your mind, but at the time, I was sitting next to Charlie Baker, who was her chief of administration.
Clinton's campaign.
That's right.
And Charlie and I put down, and we had a lot of rumors coming.
I had the former chair of the DNC calling me, Donald Fowler, Junior, I mean, Senior, what are you doing?
Look, the bottom line is, she resumed campaigning.
I went on TV to say that the campaign was back on track.
Now, here's what doesn't make sense to me.
There was a lot of people very concerned, a lot of conversations, a lot of people sitting down with Donna, talking about Plan B. Biden's on the phone, everybody's calling.
But the way I recall it, the official story, she got dehydrated, wasn't feeling good.
She had, what was her actual ailment that later they said she had?
Pneumonia.
Pneumonia.
But, if you recall, she fainted in front of the van, which looked more like an all-out loss of bodily function and a collapse.
But she fainted.
And just a few hours later, she comes out of Chelsea's apartment.
She's playing with the kids.
We identified that as a body double, completely different look, different hair, a shoulder bag on the wrong shoulder, a whole bunch of things.
Right, which was a big deal.
Which is a big giveaway.
So you're telling me that even though the message was, oh, everything's fine, all these people called immediately and there was Plan B and all this stuff.
So either they knew she was actually very sick and that this was a farce, this was the body double, you know, kind of like, oh my God!
They deployed the body double.
They deployed the body double.
Let's call Don Abuso.
It could have been anything like that.
I don't see what you're talking about when you say the timeline's all askew.
Because I don't see any problem with her description of this situation.
It feels off to me.
It feels like there was way too much action for someone who just fainted.
Why is everyone calling?
Like, we need Plan B. Who are you going to replace her with?
They knew something was gone.
No, no.
That's not what she said.
She didn't even talk to Biden about replacing her with anybody.
She was only talking with a little group amongst themselves about the possibility.
And then she was...
I don't have any impression from what she just said that everyone was calling wondering about replacing her.
Okay, that's the message I got.
That's fine.
We can disagree.
I'll move on to the next clip.
Yes.
This is about her betrayal.
It's obvious she's a traitor.
We all see this.
I love reading her book.
If they don't like my book, don't buy it.
But let me just say this.
I have every right as a former chair of the party.
Next year I will celebrate almost 50 years of American politics.
The Democratic Party is 170 years old.
I get that.
But how do you respond?
It's not just the Clinton campaign.
There's a lot of traffic on Twitter right now.
I've got an email.
I like that.
Hey, you know, I'm George Stephanopoulos.
I'm seeing a lot of traffic on Twitter right now.
Well, you know, Stephanopoulos, let's stop here for a second.
Yeah, he's a Clinton shill.
How did he become a Clinton shill?
Because before the election, before Hillary's running, he came out and said that Bill Clinton, and he's quoted as saying this, and he wrote it, I think he did a book, he says that Bill Clinton's a sociopath, you know, you can't trust him, and he turned on him.
Oh, I thought that, I don't recall that, but all I remember is he was a Clinton donor, and people said he should recuse himself from the entire election cycle.
Well, all I remember is that he turned on Bill, and then he came back to the fold, and then he became a shill, like he is with these questions of Donna Brazile.
This is obviously lopsided.
So somebody wrote him a check or apologized.
Something happened that we don't know about, but I find this guy untrustworthy.
Yeah.
But how do you respond?
It's not just the Clinton campaign.
There's a lot of traffic on Twitter right now.
I've gotten emails from Democrats, passionate Democrats, who say they feel betrayed by all this.
Any regrets?
No.
Do I regret taking on a job the second time in my life as chair of the party, cleaning up everybody's mess, taking all of the incoming, being unable to spend funds that I raise?
Do I regret...
When she gets passionate, she totally is not speaking English anymore.
She gets worked up.
Now, just as an adjunct to what you're playing...
I probably heard her I didn't get clips.
I probably heard her go on and on and she is very annoyed at the racist And I think this is what really bothers her.
Oh, that's coming.
That's coming.
Okay, then you play that, because I'll tell you the stuff that I also know about.
Go on.
Yeah, that's coming.
That's in the next clip.
But this is...
And she's going to start using words, just cutting off entire words.
Being coming, being unable to spend funds that I raised.
Raised?
It's raised, okay.
Being on the road 100% of the time, being hacked by the Russians, being harassed with death threats.
Do I regret any of that?
George, this was worse than Hurricane Katrina in terms of the emotional toll.
But do I regret standing up for what's right, helping Hillary Clinton, helping the Democratic Party?
And let me just say this.
As somebody who went through the hacking experience, being able to tell the truth about what happened with the Russians, the attack on our government, do I regret any of that?
No, I wish I could have done more, George.
Do you think this helps for the book to come out?
Well, George, I mean, this is a lesson of 2016.
If I released it next year, they would say, Donna, you're impacting on 2018.
If I release it, Donna, you're impacting.
George, for those who are telling me to shut up, they told Hillary that a couple of months ago.
You know what I tell them?
Go to hell.
I'm going to tell my story.
I want to tell my story, George, because this is a story of a young girl who started in American politics at the age of nine, who continues to fight each and every week of her life.
I went down to Virginia last week to kick off the canvassing campaign.
Nobody paid me to do that.
I'm not on a payroll, George.
I care about my country.
I care about our democracy.
And I say go to hell because why am I supposed to be the only person that is unable to tell my story?
Now, I've heard a lot tell me various things as well, but here's what they don't know.
They don't know what it was like to be over at the DNC during this hacking.
They don't know what it's like to bury a child.
I did Seth Rich.
They don't know what it's like to protect...
Now, why did she throw that in?
Why does she throw in they don't know what it's like to bury a child like I did with Seth Rich?
What it was?
She mentions Seth Rich a number of times in different interviews.
One...
One of them I recall reading an interview with her where she says it disturbs her to this day that they don't know what happened to Seth Rich.
Yeah.
And, yeah, she threw it in for a reason.
Now, don't forget, she put this book out.
She pretty much wrote this thing with a team.
It must have been a team of people, unless she sat down like a maniac, because of Hillary's book.
Right.
Hillary blames everybody but herself.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, so this is the counter-Clinton movement.
They don't know what it was like to be over at the DNC during this hacking.
They don't know what it's like to bury a child.
I did Seth Rich.
They don't know what it's like to protect the staff from further harassment.
They don't know what it's like because the high command of Brooklyn The people who were making the decisions, even for the DNC, they didn't come and work with us.
They told us to shut up and basically let them win the election.
And when we tried to intervene, we had to spend money we raised to try to help them win.
And that was my job as chair of the party.
So she talks about the high command in Brooklyn, and Brooklyn is where Hillary's campaign headquarters were, and this is where the racist stuff comes, the racists, or the racists card.
I wasn't a staff person.
I did not work for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
I was not on their daily strategy calls.
I had nothing to do with their data analytics.
I was the chair of the Democratic National Committee.
I was concerned about the entire party, not just the presidential, but the senatorial, congressional, and all of the other candidates.
It sounds like you had a pretty dysfunctional relationship with the high command of Hillary's campaign.
You even talk about telling them at some point, I'm not Patsy the slave.
Oh, George, let me tell you something.
I could not control the purse string of the Democratic Party.
And I had to figure out what was going on within the party that At the chair of the party.
Remember, I wasn't just a chair.
I'm also a vice chair.
I was an officer for eight years.
Eight years under President Obama.
I knew what was going on within the party.
I become chair, and I'm trying to write a check for something.
I raised the money, and they're like, you've got to get signed off from Brooklyn.
I said, Brooklyn?
This wasn't a standard joint fundraising agreement.
They had a separate memorandum of understanding, and I needed to break that.
But in order to break it, I would cause a great commotion.
So, yeah, I'm not Patsy the Slave because I got sick and tired of people telling me how to spend money when all I was trying to do, I wasn't getting a salary.
I was basically volunteering my time.
And what I was trying to do, Joel...
Volunteering my time.
Volunteering my time.
She was Patsy the Slave.
This really bugs her.
Did somebody call her that?
This is the most racist party of both parties, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm still convinced that Democrats are more racist than the Republicans.
I think that is why she's dropping these little breadcrumbs.
One is Seth Rich, and the other one is because no one called her a slave.
She came up with it.
She said, oh, I'm not a slave.
They were treating her like a slave.
That's the point.
Volunteering my time.
Reclaiming my time.
There's a song in there somewhere.
When all I was trying to do, I wasn't getting a salary.
I was basically volunteering my time.
And what I was trying to do, George, was to increase the level of enthusiasm and passion for Hillary Clinton and the rest of the ticket all across the country.
I find this a fascinating turn of events.
Donna Gate and her book.
Donna Gate will never happen because the media is all in with the Clintons.
Well, I'm not so sure about that.
Well, not anymore.
I mean, except for Hillary's got to go.
So, but I don't know.
They're not going to make it into a big stink because there's too much racism.
There's too many other elements that won't allow Donna Gate to ever happen.
Well, Donna should avoid small general aviation for sure.
Hot tubs would be a thing to avoid.
And even just a little canoe on any of those waterways there in D.C. It's just not a good idea for her.
But we will follow this closely.
You can't write it.
If we sat down and said, let's write something crazy for the show, we wouldn't come up with this.
No.
I love that.
And, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
And say, in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for, can't use our trademark incorrectly, Dvorak!
Good morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry!
In the morning, you're all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the names of knights out there.
And in the morning, everybody, in the chat room, which is now the troll room, we all know that.
Hello, trolls!
NoagendaStream.com.
Welcome to the party.
And I want to say in the morning to Comic Strip Blogger.
His art was chosen for episode 9 or 7, 8.
Our 10th...
No, this is not our 10th.
It was the final 10th anniversary show celebration.
House of Trolls, the title of that one?
The rest of the 10th anniversary celebrations all make goods.
We did mess a lot up, apparently.
Now, this was a very interesting one, because it was the frog with a big kiss here sign, and the frog had an NPR logo emboldened, emblazed on his chest, which related to the creepy director of news at NPR who was jamming his tongue down women's throats.
Who were there for job advice.
What a dick.
I got you job advice right here in my tongue.
Let me see if you got the right tonsils for the job.
Now, somebody's tweeted out.
Somebody caught it, I guess, on one of these feeds.
I don't know if it was iTunes or NPR. Some feed that showed all the top podcasts.
I'm sure we're not on it.
No, we were on it.
We had the picture of the frog right next to Rachel Maddow.
No, that, no, that, yeah.
You think somebody phonied that up?
I saw that we were top picks on iTunes, but it was a different, maybe we're still top picks on iTunes.
I don't know, I could look, I guess.
Was it iTunes?
I don't even know what it was.
Well, it's the Apple Podcast app, I think.
It's kind of the same thing.
Well, let me take a look.
Let me go to Featured.
Let me go by now.
You'd think.
It was Politics.
Let me see.
NPR. No, I don't think we're, I don't think we're Featured anymore.
No, I don't think so.
I don't know.
That must have been gummied up.
It could have been dummy.
People do that.
Yeah.
And they spoof us on purpose.
Bastards.
Noagendaartgenerator.com.
That's where you can send the artwork.
You can upload it there.
We choose stuff right after the show.
For publication of the album art, it also gets used in many other innovative ways or innovative, as they would say in Gitmo Nation GMT. Even Noagenda Shop makes t-shirts out of it and shares in the proceeds with the artists.
So it's all a great thing.
And we really appreciate it.
It's just one of the many ways people help produce this show.
And we're going to thank some of our executive producers for episode 9 or 7, 9 and associate executive producers.
Well, we have a massive donation that came in.
It was part of the 10th anniversary thing, and it came in before the absolute deadline.
And it's $5,000.
What?
What?
Yeah, Mr.
Big D in San Diego.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Now, this doesn't trigger something like a money laundering operation.
He sent this in.
You're going to get a knock at the door, Broseph.
This is all postal money orders.
Mr.
Dvorak, we have a question about the large amount that was sent to you.
This is all postal money orders, can't be traced.
Which I thought was funny.
But anyway, this guy, he wanted to do something that no one's ever done before.
Besides being the highest donation we've ever received.
Ever.
Yes, ever.
I think the highest.
I think $3,000 from Grand Duke Foley.
Yes.
But this was the highest ever.
But he wanted to do something because of the doubling.
He could become an insta-duke.
Yes, he could, I guess, yeah.
And he did.
Oh, wow.
So that's what he did.
Does he have a note or anything?
Is there anything he wants to share?
I'd love to know more about Big D. Sir Big D, insta-duke of...
Does he have a dukedom?
I have a note right here.
No, he's going to pick his dupedom later.
Okay.
Jeez.
Dear John and Anne, please take my money.
I've been a long-time listener with heavy, very heavy with guilt for a while now.
I believe I've been listening since the early-mid 400 episodes.
I can't remember specifically which episode this journey and fun began, but...
It's always been great hearing your weekly analysis and different perspectives.
I wanted to note specifically that the synergy and comedy between the two of you is just ultra-fantastic.
It's just one-of-a-kind comedy act with friendship.
It's the little details and idiosyncrasies that do not go unnoticed.
And I know the other listeners know what I'm talking about.
What does he mean?
Everyone knows but you, apparently.
What I'm talking about, especially everyone who's ever donated to the show.
I wish both of you even longer-term success, since both of you have already achieved the long-term success in your lives.
Podcasting!
We're on the top of the world, looking down, down on creation!
If you could play...
Okay, now you're going to have to...
Give me his address.
I'll go thank him right now.
Yeah.
He wants to play the John's Raven Dancer Club introduction clip, which is by far my favorite.
Uh-huh.
Little Girl Yay.
Trump version of Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.
Thanks, Obama.
And any other...
Also, if you can...
Cue up any clip of Joe Biden sounding like a doofus.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
And he needs a de-douching.
Okay, so something from Biden.
Let me see what I got from Biden.
We probably have tons of...
Don't we have...
Well, we could do...
Let me see.
We have Biden, but he's always sounding dumb.
Yeah, I know.
Or drunk.
Let me see.
I'm looking for an ISO. Let me see if we have an ISO. Oh, we don't have any Joe ISOs?
Yeah, that's weird.
Well, you know, ISIS in America.
We'll follow them to the gates of hell.
Yeah, that's a good one.
I like that one.
And what is it?
I'm missing one of them.
Okay, sorry.
Raven to the stage.
Yeah, Raven to the stage.
Little girl, yay.
Yeah, little girl, yay.
Trump's jobs, jobs, jobs, and thank Obama.
Oh, and, okay.
And thank Obama.
And some karma.
I'm going to give that to him.
Straight from Reseda, here she is, Raven.
Give it up.
Jobs, jobs, jobs.
And jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of hell.
ISIS. I feel good.
Thanks, Obama.
You've got karma.
Yo-ho!
Well executed.
Well, and thank you very much, Sir Big D. You're going to have a Big D nighting and duking.
Later.
Well, the Duking will be later.
The Duking shall be later, yes.
Great!
Anonymous Michael, 1200.
Another anonymous from South Dakota.
Congratulations.
Thank you for encouraging that in my episode 600 donation.
Please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
De-douching in progress.
Night ass cream with bear fillings, please.
Okay.
I will put that.
It's always at the table.
I'll make sure we put it on the list.
Upgrade me to Baron Michael of South Dakota.
Jingle request.
Lone wolf.
Lone wolf.
Wolf.
Pew pew.
Logo yay.
And the national anthem.
National anthem has to go at the end of the show.
It's too long.
Yes, it is.
But I will give him some karma.
Pew pew pew.
Pew pew.
You've got karma.
It was a $1,200.
It was a little fall over from the last show.
Gonzo Shimura.
Hopefully this makes me the double credited 10-year anniversary celebration ends.
What?
This amount should hopefully get me the double knighthood and a nice marketing tax write-off.
Marketing.
We are Basil, Bazel, and Gonzo.
Co-host of the podcast Canary Cry Radio and Canary Cry News Talk.
We started Canary Cry Radio almost six years ago to do our best to do our part to combat the manipulation and deception of the mainstream media and other powers that be.
Many of our listeners also listen to the No Agenda show.
So here's a shout out to all the Canarians out there.
I like these.
It's good.
Canarians.
That's good.
I like that too.
I like Canarians.
Yep.
We've been listeners of the No Agenda show for a little over a year now.
We thought it was time to chip in and night up.
So if we get double the credits, we'd like to be the title Sir Basil Knight of the Wormicorns.
They got a whole thing going on over there, don't they?
Yeah, well that's what you gotta do.
And Sir Gon's Knight of the Samurai Babies.
Can we please get some value for value karma?
Our donations have dwindled a bit this year, and we hope to get to the point where we can hilariously put podcasts on our tax forms.
I think it's media.
You have to do media professional, I think.
There's a code for that.
Yeah, media professional is fine.
Also, can we get a Don't Eat Me Hillary and a Shut Up Slave?
I think we can.
With the karma, with the karma.
Yes, thanks for what you do, as we say on Canary Cry Radio, think outside the cage!
Don't Eat Me Hillary Clinton!
Shut Up Slave!
You've got karma.
Super.
I want to go to a make good, if I can find it real quick.
One of our guys says we're supposed to mention...
A podcast.
And he's a big donor.
And I got too many makers.
I might do them in order.
But there's another podcast I want to give a plug to later.
But this one, I haven't heard this one.
I'm going to go listen to it.
Yeah, it sounds good.
I like that they have a vernacular.
You know, they got a vocabulary.
That's a big deal.
Yeah, it is.
When you got that, then you got something going on.
That's a little tip.
If anybody wants to do podcasting, you want to study this mechanism.
Yep.
Listen to the Jim Rome show.
You could just listen to our show.
I think we'd do it better than him.
I think Jim Rome is the one who's perfected it.
Ours is more organic.
Okay, here we go.
More crazy.
Sir Max Powers, $1,000.
Whoa.
So Max, and he's in Jefferson.
Thanks, guys, for the sanity.
That's all he says.
Love, Sir Max Powers of Jefferson State.
Thank you.
Jefferson, of course, is the state.
It starts in around Redding, California, and goes up to southern Oregon.
The state of Jefferson is trying to break that.
Okay.
And I think, you know, they should.
I think they should break off.
Okay, read the next one.
Lance Fisher recently got a super amazing cybersecurity job here in Rome, Georgia.
I can finally top myself up.
That may be illegal in some states.
I'm guessing donations will hit a drought after the nightening.
The donation palooza.
So here you go.
Don't kill me, Amy.
Oh, I guess Amy doesn't know what he's doing here.
Please knight me a Sir Wayward Youper of the Seven Hills.
I'll lord over these hills in Georgia.
He says, 73s, kilo Charlie 8, uniform Charlie Alpha.
Yes, I know I'm expired.
Got to preempt the troll room.
Give me an ISIS in America and a goat scream.
Thanks, he says.
Okay, so I need a goat scream.
What is it?
No, we have...
Goat karma, that's what it is.
And what else did he want here?
Well, how about that for coincidence?
We just played ISIS in America.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable.
I'll give you one more coincidence.
Bill Maher was talking about Baby Driver, which I saw on the way over to England.
And you heard him say hello to my little friend.
By coincidence, I watched Scarface on the way back.
Isn't that odd?
Isis.
We will follow them to the gates of hell.
Isis.
I feel good!
You've got karma.
Eric Aschendorf, 500, and he sent an email note in.
And I will look at it right here.
I was wondering, okay, he says, he's actually three or four notes, and this is the last one saying, man, I'll just read the note.
Anyway, thank you for doing this as long as you have, me likey.
I was hit in the mouth by a friend four years ago who's been overboard since we last spoke two years ago, thanks to you and Adam and your rigorous show notes.
News has gone from a blip in my day to a tribulation of strains and grunts.
And that's just...
And that's just Jeff Pegues.
Hey-o!
Good one.
And now to the nitty-gritty.
I'd like to self-identify as surplus of the consumer to refer to...
You may have to write this one in because I don't think Eric has this.
Okay.
Surplus of the consumer to refer to the momentous deal I've gotten for Instanite.
And if that's taken, no...
No, surplus of the consumer has not been taken.
Now, who are we talking about here?
This is Eric...
Eric Aschendorf?
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Eric Aschendorf.
Eric Aschendorf.
Yes.
And he becomes...
Surplus of the consumer.
Plus of the consumer.
Surplus.
Get it?
Surplus.
You know, we totally missed the...
I know.
Was it Vigote?
Yes.
Survive...
No.
It was supposed to be Service Goat.
No, Service Goat.
No, that's what he has.
V-I-S. Yeah, but I wasn't pronouncing it.
Service Goat.
Yes, I know.
I'm an idiot.
It's a pun.
I know.
I missed it, too.
We're idiots.
We're a bunch of bumbling podcasts.
We can't get every one of these crazy puns.
These guys are, you know, cranking them out faster than we can read them.
This is true.
Surplus of the consumer.
Okay, I get it.
Yeah, nice.
You can also be pan-noble for the circumvention of the deadline.
Yes.
Oh, this guy's a comedy writer.
Mm-hmm.
I'd also like organic macaroni and plasticizers to be served at the round table.
Right.
Organic macaroni and plasticizers?
Yeah.
I've never heard of this.
He's talking about the macaroni and cheese plasticizers.
I know what you're talking about.
Yes.
What was the name of that fine chemical?
I don't remember.
It was something terrible.
Anyway, I guess we give him a karma, I guess.
Yes, we got that.
You've got karma.
Why don't you read anonymous?
I look up Richard Butler.
Yes, $500 from anonymous.
Parts unknown.
Anonymous, we just repatriated from China.
Well, well.
And wow!
What happened to the U.S. in the last five years?
Would like to be knighted servility.
Servility.
Yes, karma for all and jobs karma would like to have the protector of Taiwan.
That only happens when you have a barony.
So, you'll be on your way to that.
And, of course, we will gladly have you.
Yes, in abeyance, as John would say.
So, servility and barren in abeyance with the protector of Taiwan.
And, yes, of course, we have jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Now we have Richard Butler from Parts Unknown who sent an email in.
He's a dual citizen in the UK-USA who just left Florida and moved back to the UK for 12 months after 24 months in the US.
I simply no longer afford justify the US health care costs, which due to a back problem has risen to over $1,700 per month.
Oh my goodness.
Thank you.
With UK free healthcare, I have applied my previous healthcare monies to renting a beachfront apartment and including all running costs.
I'm actually in pocket each month.
How crazy is that?
Yeah, that is.
Been listening since...
You've been listening for a while.
You could have an Airstream.
Two Airstreams.
Pleasing the $1,700 a month is the way it works here with Obamacare.
Yeah.
Please knight me as Sir Richard Butler.
Okay, you need to write this down.
Okay, hold on.
Richard Butler as Sir Richard Butler.
Okay, I can handle that one.
Of the location independent as I am now going to travel the world with my wife and laptops running my Amazon business from wherever.
So it'll be Sir Richard Butler of the location independent.
Okay.
I guess.
Okay.
Where the feeling takes me.
We plan on Thailand, Portugal once we leave the UK. Our plan is a minimum of four months in each country.
Okay, Richard.
Interesting.
I have a little handicap today.
It's just tiny.
It's getting better.
As I'm getting my Windows transition underway, I have the new keyboard and the mouse already, so I'm using that, and it's taken just a little bit of...
It's a different size.
Is it bigger or smaller?
It's bigger.
Yeah, it's bigger.
It's a big giant keyboard and a monstrous mouse.
Not that bad, but it's a keyboard that has a numbers pad included.
So it's bigger.
It's a Logitech, though.
It's nice.
Okay, well, you look up Blake Israel's email.
I have Blake's email right here.
Let me start it off.
Blake Israel 49174 is in Los Angeles, and he's going to be the night of procrastination.
Okay.
Now, I forwarded this to Eric, so I have to make sure that he's not already on the list, and I don't understand why he's not.
Blake Israel says, apparently I've been a baronet for a while.
Ah, he might be in the title section.
How about that?
No, he's not.
I've been baronet for a while, but with a two for one, this amount brings me to baron.
I would like to be known as Sir Blake Barron of the Bourbon and Ryes.
Why?
Why do I remember this?
Didn't we do him already?
Maybe the last show?
Maybe the last show?
Yeah, I have a feeling we already did this.
Well, put him on again.
For those being knighted today, please add redheads and ride to the roundtable offerings.
That I don't remember, so let me put that in.
No, I don't remember that either.
Redheads.
We would have.
The things we remember, John.
It's just the important details.
Redheads and rise.
For your 10th anniversary, give everybody an ITM chemtrails and little girl yay karma.
Let me just write this in here first.
I've got to get him in.
Sir Blake becomes Baron...
Sir Blake Barron of the Bourbon and Rise.
Okay, hold on.
Yes, it has a big clicking sound.
Yours has, too.
I like that.
You like that?
Yeah, I do.
I like the big travel.
I don't know why, but I like it.
Okay, why is this not working?
Of course it's not working.
There you go.
Okay, good.
You have to push harder.
Okay.
A little girl, yay karma.
In the morning.
In the morning.
Ten trails.
You've got karma.
All right.
Landon Dalian, 379.
And he, or she, I don't know.
It's just he, I think.
No, no.
But he's buying a damehood for his lovely lady.
Okay, this Canadian, hoping to get a double credit and buy damehood for my lovely wife if I'm not too late.
You got in just under the wire.
Closed at midnight.
I want to end it all after trying to figure this out.
Hope it makes it through.
Email note to follow Elle.
If you didn't get the note, or if you did, it's not going to be on today's show.
It may be in there.
It may be in there.
I don't know.
Is she on the list?
I can't see.
You can't see?
I don't see her.
Let's put it that way.
I'll put her in there.
I'll put her on there.
So, does she have a name?
Okay.
Well, let me see.
Well, I presume Landon is his name.
Yes.
D-A-L-L-Y-N. Let's just get the email and be done with this.
Oh, I know.
D-A-N. Spell it for me.
L-A-N-D-A-N. No, no.
D-A-L-L-Y-N. Oh, okay.
Last name.
Yes.
Landon Dalian.
Note to accompany donation.
Okay.
Not a short note.
Hope this makes it in time okay.
Happy 10 years.
You guys are the best.
Your soft, buttery, dulcet tones bouncing in and around my ear canal for six hours a week keeps me feeling sane in a world of increasing insanity.
The fever pitch of vitriolic rhetoric that is the M5N has been spewing since Uncle Don came down that escalator and is both at times hilarious.
Anyway, he goes on about this.
I don't know what he's doing here.
I'm making this donation on behalf of my future wife-to-be, whom I hit in the mouth as I intend to propose before she hears this on the 7.5-hour 10th anniversary show.
That has slowed her down a bit.
Yeah, the show slowed down everybody.
In and around her birthday, which is November 7th, the day before my birthday.
Well, they should be on the birthday list.
What's her name?
What's her name?
Future wife.
I'm looking.
I'm looking.
So he's Landon.
Is it Dallion?
D-A-L-L-Y-N. That's his last name.
Okay.
Landon Dallion.
He's on the 8th.
Lovely fiancé Dallion.
Lovely fiancé with no name.
Okay.
Lovely fiancé.
I'm looking for her name.
She's now lovely fiancé.
Done.
Okay.
Now he wants...
Okay.
He wants...
I wish I'd be a much happier wish.
The 20th year, he needs some karma.
We have diligently avoided the white...
Bic Lighters, and are so within a week of being ineligible to join the 27 Club, you can knight her, here it is, Dame Sarah, husband's wife.
Dame Sarah's husband's wife.
Sarah's her name.
Okay, Dame Sarah's husband's wife.
Gee, okay.
All right, good.
That's where we're ending.
Got it.
Okay, and they're on the birthday list now, too.
Well, they're just having the time of their lives.
I'm sure they are.
How old are these crazy kids?
They don't say.
They could be old, they could be young.
You can't tell.
A little wacky note makes them seem like they're, I'm guessing, in their 30s.
Yeah, like they have Alzheimer's.
No.
Justin Lee, 375, with donation double credits.
I'm knighthood, right?
You guys are a national treasure, right?
Keep up the good work, right?
Can I get an attention, human resource?
You are now entering the second half of show.
Yes.
Attention all human resources.
Now entry.
Second half of Seoul.
Nice end.
Nice fade out.
Yeah.
We got...
Spencer, Scott Spencer, looking at the emails.
There's no Scott.
There's no Spencer.
Okay, that's no good.
333.
Anton Ponomarenko.
Ponomarenko.
Ponomarenko, right.
Right.
Right?
Right.
And I'm not going to be able to type this in, but I'll bet you there's an Anton in the email.
Let me get so many people without sending anything in.
Pono Marenko.
Pono Marenko.
I got him.
Nope.
Nothing.
I don't have anything either from Anton.
Okay.
Mark Hampton, 333 in Houston, Texas.
Hey, guys.
Love this show.
I do not feel worthy enough to take advantage of the two-for-one offer.
Could I get house-buying karma, some relationship karma, some Trump jobs karma, and an F cancer for my mom?
Thank you guys so much from someone who leans to the right.
From Mark in Houston, Texas, go Astros.
Yeah, go Astros indeed!
Jobs, jobs, jobs!
And jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Anonymous 32723.
Please accept this donation as a token of my gratitude.
Did you do the F-Karma?
Yes, yes I did.
I'm sorry I was reading this note.
For my gratitude for your unmatched media deconstruction, I specifically enjoy the 3x3 segments, breakdowns of media packages versus what people actually said in the Raw interview, which is what we did again today.
In-depth coverage of events like the Las Vegas shootings that are not getting proper attention.
They're getting a lot of attention.
The last minute straggler for the anniversary promotion.
This is my previous, this plus my previous donation should be sufficient for knighting.
I'd like to be referred to as a no middle name from parts unknown.
Sir, no middle name from parts unknown.
Please play shape-shifting Jews.
Alex Jones, it's real.
Bing, bing, bong, bong.
And I love to hear sucking in soot.
Gangster Paradise at the end of the show, if possible.
And he wants an F cancer, too.
Okay.
It's real.
It's real.
Bing, bing, bong, bong, bing, bing, bong.
You've got karma.
There we go.
Got it.
Nice shot.
Yeah.
Larry Stewart, if I'm not mistaken, make sure I didn't overscroll.
320 in Norman, Oklahoma.
He has a note he sent in with a check.
10 years, my wife and I have made it to 30.
You can as well.
Sorry, I was looking for something.
End of show, he asked for it.
You can as well.
Hopefully, this check made it in time for the special you ran for 10 years.
At work, I will send a full accounting, but this should push me over the top for knighthood.
This means you have to write this down again.
He wants to be...
Eric may have put this one in because I put it in the notes.
Sir Lawrence of Logan's Portworks.
There are only two cities with that name in the U.S. Each can claim me if they choose.
And that's Indiana and Louisiana.
Sir Logan of the Portworks?
No, just Sir Lawrence of Logan's Portworks.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Sir Lawrence of...
Lawrence.
Lawrence...
Lorenz.
Lorenz.
Yes, of?
Logan's Port Works.
Okay.
I don't see him on here, so I'm glad we did that.
Does he want anything like a karma?
No, he didn't ask me.
Stiff drink?
Stiff drink, probably.
Okay.
Morgan, 30303.
After the amazing display of stamina during the anniversary show, I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't get in on the double credit offer.
Hopefully I made the deadline.
Assuming I did, this contribution combined with my previous pair of 20202 donations should put me at the perfect 10-10-10, coincidentally the binary representation of 42.
Oh.
We should be using that.
Yes, that is good.
I like that.
Yeah.
Random number theory.
To properly celebrate Anniversary of the show, if I made it in time, which you did.
I'd like to be knighted Sir Morgan of the ANCC. Cool.
Okay.
Why is that cool?
Tell me why you think that's cool.
Well, it's just an...
Only people of a certain ilk will understand what the hell it is.
What is it?
I'm not sure.
ANCC? It's a standard.
Oh, is it ANCC, a standard for C, the language, programming language?
That I don't know.
Well, it's a standard for something.
If not, I'll just go...
I'm guessing that's what it is.
I think it's a terminal.
Isn't it a terminal display?
I don't think so.
Let's go to the Book of Knowledge real quick.
I think it's...
Oops, not that one.
I want this one.
I mean, it's obviously a standard for C programming.
Well, no, you didn't say that.
You said terminals.
Yes, it's ANSI-C, ISO-C, and Standard-C refer to the successive standards for the C programming language published by the American National Standards Institute.
Okay, so it's a funky C. It's the original.
Okay.
Okay, got it.
Glad we cleared that up.
We need to clear these things up because the show is educational.
Yes, correct.
That's how we retain our license.
Yes, otherwise I get booted off the air.
I'll just go back to being a lowly slave after this for the time being anyway.
Cheers, and if the transhumanists are correct, I'm looking forward to adding another zero to this anniversary together.
Please give me a quick link of Adam.
No, no, no, no, no.
He has 1JNK. Instead of NJNK, it's 1JNK. Oh, 1JNK. That sounds like a ham license.
It does.
One J and K. Adam's going to read this email.
No need to read on show footnote.
I'm sure you both know, but it's pronounced ANSI, not A-N-S-I. Adam's going to read his email.
Adam's going to read his email.
Adam's going to read his email on the No Agenda show.
An odd request, but certainly different.
Very weird, actually.
On to Associate Executive Producers, beginning with Dame Vicki Poole.
Oh, Dame Vicki, yes.
Memphis.
She'll get bumped up to Executive because it came in early.
Okay, good.
Thank you for your 10 years of invaluable information.
General Karma, please.
Dame Vicki in Memphis.
Thank you very much.
Yes, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
You've got Karma.
James O'Brien came in with 250, and it came in before, so he's getting a knighthood, but he says the title to be determined, so he'll be in abeyance.
Okay, we'll wait for that, and thank you very much for your support of the show and the work and the community.
Phil Colburn, 246-83 from Warramoo, Australia.
Warramoo.
No comment.
Nikola Stepanov.
Nikola Stepanov.
One of the two.
$200.33.
Wait a minute.
Phil Colburn does have a note here.
I don't have it.
He says 33333.
It's a dollar a dues.
Too tired to write anything.
Random jingle, please.
No karma.
N.K. Phil Coburn from Waramoo, Australia.
Okay.
Let me scroll down and just get something completely at random.
and we'll see how we do.
Oh, yeah.
One, two, three, you and me.
And nice accompaniment, John.
Unexpectedly groovy.
Nailed it.
Then, Nikola, step it off.
You know, I want to stop for a second.
I think, for these random jingles, I don't know, you probably won't do it.
And you'll fake it.
You'll say you're doing it.
I think you should put a blindfold on and just push.
Well, okay, so not everything, only a few are pushable, but literally what I do is I type in the database, I type in jingle, I just give the scroll wheel on the mouse a twirl, and whatever's there, I drag up into the player, so it's the equivalent.
Okay, that's good enough.
As long as I know you're doing that.
How else would I come up with this one?
What was this even titled?
No, you wouldn't have come up with this in a million years.
This was titled KGBFSBJingle2.Wave.
I mean, come on.
I think they should be better titled.
Well, there's this one.
Waple.
One of the best.
I forgot the ending is so good.
Wappo.
Okay, where are we?
Nikolaj.
Happy 10th.
Karma for a Canadian adventure with my wife and jobs, karma, please.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Anonymous, $200.
NJNK, we'll have a note that we can read to ourselves, I guess, coming later.
And that actually closes our executive and associate executive producer's Readouts, but I do want to read...
I got a bunch of these make-goods.
Oh, you got some make-goods?
Okay.
Yeah, we should do those.
By the way, it's nice to be back to some show.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good.
I'm going to get through a bunch of...
I'm going to do half of these and then half of these after the second read.
Okay, good.
This is Brian the Blue Knight.
Brian Wojtek.
I've changed the show credit for executive producer from Dame Bezos to Carith Wojtek.
Yeah, I did that.
Or match her resume on LinkedIn.
That was pretty funny.
You got that one?
Yeah, although nothing in his note actually even mentioned her name.
And I did reply to him and said, okay, I've changed the credits, which is, it's kind of a sucky thing to have to do because I have to change it in multiple places, but okay.
I have a solution for some of these where somebody wants something.
Just give it to them this time.
But the thing that was sad is that we actually went in and changed and remembered to change Dame Bezos as the executive producer.
Because that's what he asked for.
Yeah.
She probably caught it and said, hey, this is doing me no good.
Yeah, right.
Well, she's right because she needs to have proof that she's the producer so she can have it on a LinkedIn page.
Yeah, so somebody looks it up and looks on the list.
Yeah, you phony baloney.
Yeah, and they kick her out.
Right.
Or they wear a bathrobe, one of the two.
Sean McNamara.
I'd like to say there's a complete douchebag emailing you again, but I know that you are busy.
I'm sure if you haven't had time to get my note, I forget my donation came in for the 10th anniversary of the show, but my note was never read.
Oh, no.
And the note is, below is the message I sent last week, and it's like, it's gone forward and forward and forward.
Okay.
First name only, if that didn't work.
John, could you just add him and let him know about the jingles?
Since he's got some jingles.
Okay, here we go.
The amount of $500 from my Instanite and the remaining $0.02 can be added to the penny jar.
I need a de-douching.
We can do that.
You've been de-douched.
All right.
I was trying to find a clever title and he wants to be circumvent, circumscribe, circumfuse.
Do we have to do that still?
Is that the idea?
No, I think he's on the list, isn't he?
We'll figure out what to do with him.
I'll put a little X on here and then we'll...
Oh, that'll do it.
That'll do it.
And stick it right back in the archive.
Good to go.
These are all stapled together.
They're not going to get lost.
Make good knighthood easy correction to make.
This is from Andy Bentley.
I became a knight on the last show by donating $1,000 a special half-price deal.
However, check my PayPal button.
It went from $500 to $1,000.
I can only think that there was a glitch in the system or something was wrong with the Elgo.
Rather than asking for a refund, I'd like you to keep the $1,000.
But in return, award my son.
This is important.
Okay.
Okay, let me see.
What's his name?
Zach Bentley.
I don't think so.
I don't think he's on this list.
Okay.
No, there's no reason for him to be on the list.
Okay.
Zach Bentley becomes Sir Big Dog.
We got Big D, Sir Big D today, and Sir Big Dog.
How about that?
Yeah, that's pretty funny.
Now, he wants a title change himself, and I think for a thousand bucks we can go for that.
Yeah.
Just put under title change at the top instead of renighting.
Sir Snoops Magoo.
Andy Bentley becomes Sir Snoop's Magoo.
Okay.
Because that's what my kids call me, due to my incessant need for details, as they would say, nosiness.
So he's a nosy dad.
Oh, one of those.
And you've got the last thing, two jingles.
Don't raff, and you might die.
Okay, don't raff.
The United Nations.
No, that's the wrong one.
Love it when that happens.
Oh, that's funny.
Huh.
Why did that happen?
Uh-oh.
Don't laugh.
Why are you laughing?
Shut up.
Shut up.
You might die.
Actually, that's funny.
It's all right.
Okay, I'll do the rest of these.
I got another five at the break.
All right.
Well, we want to thank all of our executive producers and associate executive producers and the Make Goods, and we will be thanking more people later on in the second donation segment.
And, well, we do have another show coming up on Thursday.
There's so much going on.
Show days.
Right now is show day.
We see there's been a shooting in a church.
Maybe 15 people have been hurt.
I mean, there's all kinds of weird stuff.
In Texas, I might add.
Sutherland Springs.
Wow.
Well, another thing going on today, and I have a clip.
Well, you can't do that until I close the donation segment.
I'm kind of winding it up here.
You've been doing it for 10 years.
I'm rushing.
I'm in a hurry.
I'm all jacked up.
Yeah, we know you're all jacked up.
How about you?
You jacked up.
Then you should be jacking the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
You! Water!
Water!
Shut up, Wayne!
Shut up, slave!
All right.
Give me your credit, man.
By the way, I want to mention to people out there, you write ERROR in all caps in the subject line, and then I sort them later.
Don't send me message after message, because then it becomes a mess.
Yes.
We'll get to all these.
It'll take probably a few more shows to straighten everything out.
But we'll do it.
Of course we'll do it.
We'll take care of it.
But we'll do it.
You get your credits, and everybody will be, probably, everybody will have one person.
Everybody will be hunky-dory.
Yeah.
Hunky-dory.
And the one person, you know who you are.
So this is why I think the action, if I was going to do something crazy, I would go after the New York Marathon.
Yeah, which had just ended, I think.
Yeah, nothing happened, but I got a kick out of the security thing.
I just have a short clip of the New York Marathon ridiculous...
Security.
Governor's office announcing enhanced security after this week's attack.
We've also increased the number of observation teams and count the sniper teams.
There will be a substantial number of heavy weapons teams.
Heavy weapons teams with 50 cal?
They got heavy weapons, machine guns, snipers.
I mean, I don't want to run in this race.
No.
I mean, the thing you want to do, I'm not going to give any hints to the ISIS idiots, but you go up there, you knock out one of these little bunkers with a.50 caliber machine gun, and then you just start peppering away at everybody running down.
That race is massive.
Yeah, it is.
It is massive.
Well, I think the winners just came in.
Let me see.
Shalane Flanagan, first American woman to win the race in 40 years.
Kenya's Jeffrey...
She won the whole race?
She won the race?
That's what it says.
No, no, no, no, the women's race.
And then Kenya, of course, Kenya's Jeffrey Kamwaror, won the men's race.
And I think he ran out on...
He didn't even have bare feet.
He had just said stumps.
The Kenyans and the Nigerians are always running on their bare feet.
Yeah, yeah.
And they glide.
They're just like effortless.
They glide.
They can run forever.
They just glide along, glide along.
Hey, you know, something that is completely not reported, and this was sent by one of our listeners.
I think he's in Sweden.
He's in the EU, I think.
And it actually comes in one report that is a blogger or a YouTube guy.
I forget his name now.
Someone will remind me.
And then I have two short clips from the police chief, and then there's some other additional information.
But I did not know that this was happening in Sweden.
So, on the 10th of October, there was a, well, there was a guy who opened a door to his car, and boom!
His car exploded.
Boom, count one.
On the 13th of October, just three days later, a bomb went off outside a villa in the city of Ramlösa.
On the 15th of October, a car was blown up in the city of Malmö.
On the 18th of October, a police station was bombed in the city of Helsingborg.
Experts believe it was between 5 and 10 kilos.
In the same day, in the city of Norrköping, A grenade was found underneath a car.
On the 21st of October, a grenade blew up a car.
On the 22nd of October, a guy threw firebombs into a bar.
On the 22nd of October, there was two bombings in Malmö, which happened out family apartments.
On the 31st of October, in the city of Esselholm.
So there were two cars that were bombed just hours apart.
This is kind of odd.
We haven't heard about this.
At least three of those were in Malmo.
Well, we know what's going on in Malmo.
That's Migrant Central, is it not?
Pretty much.
Yeah, so what was it, 12 in just a week?
See, this is the problem I'm having with this EU political correctness and all the rest of these things.
Was it Muslim cars being bombed by irked Swedes or was it just random Swedes car?
I'm sure it was.
Was it whites or Muslim immigrants that bombed a police station?
Now this is not a news report.
This is just a YouTube dude.
Yeah, he's reading from the police blotter.
Well, let's listen to the National Police Chief Eliasson.
Well, we see developments in our country which are not going in the right direction always.
No shit, I guess not.
Captain Obvious, I think, is his title.
Right direction, always.
We have a bit more than 60 vulnerable areas around the major cities of Sweden.
And we see criminality there, and we need to turn around development in those areas, and we need assistance of our other parts of society.
I could say that we have many, many, many years, 20, 30 years of socio-economic developments going in the wrong direction.
Unemployment, poor results in school, increased criminality, and now it is time.
It is my firm belief that we need to make A clear shift in direction.
We cannot continue in this direction ten more years.
Society needs to do more.
We need to do more.
We need to focus on these areas.
Government is assisting us a lot.
They are providing us with more resources.
Which will entitle us in turn to reinforce our capability in the vulnerable areas.
That is one thing.
They are also very forthcoming when it comes to listening to our proposals for increased penalties and more coercive measures in legislation.
So bit by bit new legislation comes into place which will make our work more efficient.
And that means, of course, that there's going to be political parties on the far right.
And go back to our blogger here for the last quick clip.
Well, it is kind of a positive development, though, from the moderate party in Sweden.
They are so-called right-wing, but they're not really very right-wing at all.
They have actually suggested that they should deploy military to some of these suburbs, they call them.
They mean no-go zones.
They don't want to use the term no-go zone because, well...
Many Swedish people don't even know that no-go zones exist in Sweden because they don't use the term.
In Sweden, they try and keep it quiet from the people.
That's what the mainstream media is doing.
There you go.
And they're doing the same here.
We're not hearing anything about this.
Needless to say, this is all news to me.
I didn't know about all these bombings, and I'd like to know a lot more, so...
Hello, Swedes.
Jalskodai?
Send us some Elskedai.
Yeah, we don't have that many Swedish listeners.
We're very, very light.
We have like five.
We're going to find out.
But yeah, no go zones.
Don't talk about it.
Shh.
Don't talk about the no go zones.
Can't do that.
No.
Well, on this side of the water, there's a couple of things.
Did you hear about the war on strippers?
No, but let's go to that story.
I wish I had a clip.
I wish I had a clip.
No, the strippers are on strike in New York City.
The war on strippers.
That's too exact.
Nice.
I think I have a better one coming up.
Okay.
The war on strippers.
So what is happening is the bouncers, the drink servers, they're all taking their tips.
And they're stealing from them.
And they're saying, you used to be able to make $1,000 a night.
You can't even make $400 now.
Oh, the strippers should just quit.
Well, they're on strike.
Or go to a place where they don't get ripped off.
A little New York, that's probably...
Yeah, apparently they're all kind of...
New York's always had a really low-level crappy...
I mean, it's a joke.
If you like strippers, guys, or even girls, you go to Atlanta.
Yeah, Cheetah.
Cheetahs?
Cheetahs?
Well, Cheetah's not even the top place anymore.
I don't know what it is.
It was overtaken by the Gold Club.
Spearman Rhino!
Oh, wait, that's Vegas.
And then Vegas has got a lot of nice places.
You know, they seem...
That's where my daughter wanted to go for her 21st birthday.
Spearman Rhino.
Which one?
Spearman Rhino.
I don't know that.
They picked this up in the long pink limousine, too.
The whole deal.
God.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Yes.
Oh, God is right.
God help me.
Yes.
It was a bad night all around.
Well, but New York is definitely, because they have laws against, you can't take, you know, you can't really strip if they serve alcohol, which means you can't really strip.
And, because how else are you going to make money?
How are these clubs going to make money if they can't serve alcohol?
It's just miserable.
I was, I got a pretty good clue about, we had a guy at PC Magazine who, I'll probably leave his name out of it, but he was one of our famous columnists.
So famous that he got a tattoo, famous and he did so much stuff for Microsoft and Windows books that he had a Windows logo tattooed to him, to his arm.
Really?
I thought that was a bit much.
But he knew all the strippers in New York City.
And so he says, you want to go around?
I said, I can show you all the different clubs that are any good.
And I said, I don't know, it doesn't seem like it.
I know all the strippers in New York City.
Okay, let's go.
So we went all around the place, and it's the funniest night I've ever had.
You had a good time, did you, John?
Everybody knew this guy, and it was just fun.
I'm so happy for you.
Yeah, it was great.
I got one other.
This is your neck of the woods, but somehow it's turned into my beat as we continue to look at the hepatitis A crisis in San Diego.
We have yet another possible culprit.
What?
More than 300 recruits at the Marines Boot Camp in San Diego are suffering diarrheal symptoms after a bacterial outbreak.
With most of the cases linked to Shinga toxin causing E. coli bacteria, physicians are treating 302 patients out of more than 5,500 candidates undergoing training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot.
The illness was identified in recruits at both the depot and the Edson range at Camp Pendleton.
The number of cases spiked on Monday, and 10 recruits were transported to an undisclosed hospital off base for additional care.
While Marines are still trying to identify the source of the contagion, commanders have quarantined sick recruits from those who have not yet displayed symptoms, mandated increased hand washing, and ensured proper sanitation in all training areas.
Naval Medical Center San Diego's Preventative Medicine Unit has hiked inspections of barracks, dining facilities, and common areas.
There's a lot of problems with feces in San Diego.
Well, E. coli, which is usually found from animal feces, I mean, E. coli, of course, exists, I mean, it's a common, it's a specific E. coli that has gone rogue.
That will kill you if you get infected with it.
But that's only the kind they have at that restaurant.
It's a joke there.
I missed it.
Chipotle.
That's where they have that E. coli.
Yeah, well, they have it.
Yeah.
I don't understand why that company is still running.
But, uh, huh.
I wonder what's going on down there.
Something's up.
Well, it's clearly a job for Detective Dookie.
Detective Dookie.
Detective Dookie.
Who, police.
That's right.
SPU.
Special on the case.
That's right.
Right.
So you just replayed that clip so you could run it into that jingle?
No, no.
We've had the jingle for ages.
I just keep running into these poop stories about San Diego.
You're on the poop case.
I'm on the poop beat.
So, on deck.
The poop deck.
Alright, I got a couple here.
So, Walter Isaacson.
I want you to go to Wikipedia and look at Walter Isaacson's picture that's there.
And tell me if he has a...
He has a certain kind of look that you're familiar with.
Okay, let me see.
Oh, yes, of course, he's had a vasectomy.
No.
He sure looks like a lesbian.
Well, he does have the vasectomy.
Well, and a spook, if that's what you're referring to.
Yes, there you go.
Total spook.
I didn't think about the vasectomy look, but you're right, he's got that too.
He's a vasectospook.
So if you look at his bio there, it's like ridiculous.
So he just finished, I don't know how this, look, I write for a living too, and I know what you can do in a year if you're just writing every day, and I know what the numbers are and how much work it takes.
But this guy was like the chairman and CEO of CNN. He's still teaching at Tulane as a history professor.
He ran the Aspen Institute.
Well, he's also the Broadcasting Board of Governors chair, which is reserved for spookage.
Yes.
And so he just cranked out another book, like a lot of these guys manage to do, and it's a 652-page tome that's huge, which is that you look at it and you shake your head.
And also, another giveaway, you ever want to look for anybody, this comes for everybody, anyone who's ever a Rhodes Scholar.
Rhodes Scholar, yeah.
Rhodes Scholar is a scholarship set up by Cecil Rhodes for the sole purpose of internationalism.
Yes.
You're a globalist, period.
Bill Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar.
Yes, and you're a globalist and, generally speaking, a neoliberal if you're a Rhodes Scholar.
And so Isaacson falls into that.
Now, two things happen in here.
He did a book on Leonardo da Vinci, this monstrous tome, somehow in his spare time, I guess.
Really?
Leonardo, who they're kind of redesigning, it seems, for the public's purpose of being a flaming, like, flamboyant gay.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
Play the clip on Leonardo.
There are more people from more diverse fields who say, Leonardo is my best friend.
Luca Pacioli, the mathematician, Donato Bermonti, an architect.
And Leonardo was a misfit.
I mean, he didn't fit in.
He was illegitimate.
Left-handed, gay, vegetarian, heretical.
And yet he has this wonderful circle of friends.
He dresses in sort of purple and pink tunics.
He's very flamboyant.
And he's totally beloved.
First in Florence, where he grows up, and then in Milan.
That's really odd.
I thought so.
And I went to the museum.
There's a little museum in Florence.
Very small Leonardo da Vinci museum.
And what I like most about him, which I didn't...
I guess I should have known this.
If he wrote everything in mirror...
Yeah.
In mirrored image is how he would write.
And he did that...
I think, you know, to throw people off the track.
Yeah, because it was so difficult to use a mirror.
No.
Some people think he used dyslexic or he had to...
Something was wrong with the...
He couldn't write normally.
This is just what it said in the museum.
So I don't know.
Do you have an answer to why they're doing this?
No, I think we're seeing a restructuring.
If we're talking about globalist guys who are into internationalism in particular, which is a different kind of globalism, I think they're trying to restructure what our standards are going to be for things.
So if you're going to be, you know, Leonardo is a flamboyant flamer.
Then you're an inventor.
And an inventor.
There's something screwy going on.
They're trying to redefine things for our culture so we can accept I don't know what.
Or maybe it's...
I have no idea.
It stood out like a sore thumb.
Yeah, it does.
We gotta keep eyes on Leonardo.
Now, the other thing is this guy, Isaacson, he...
He pulled the great, and I didn't set it up with the horn, but he pulled the great, oh that's a great question, on Colbert.
And Colbert, I think he's aware of the stupidity of that, and so they had a little back and forth.
I just found it very interesting, and it has something to do with the script.
Why did Florence flourish in such a particular way?
It's a great question and one that you'd appreciate.
Yeah, you're welcome.
It says on my notes.
Great question.
Oh, that's a great question.
It's not that peculiar.
But it seemed like everything was scripted.
I mean, it was scripted.
He asked that Florence question.
We'll listen to it again.
It's short enough.
Maybe we can catch something.
And that little interstitial in there is scripted.
Is Colbert saying you're welcome?
Yes, I heard that.
Why did Florence flourish in such a particular way?
It's a great question and one that you'd appreciate.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Except on my notes.
Great question.
Well, you know what I think?
He didn't read the book.
He said, look, dude, I didn't have time to read the book, but I've got the question.
Because I know how this works.
Of course he didn't read the book.
The publisher always sends you a one-sheet, and they give you questions.
And it's probably the first one.
So that was the inside joke.
Oh, great question.
It was the first one my publishers gave to you, douche.
I think that's what it was.
Well, he's not calling him a douche.
He's just following the rules.
You know, one guy's asking his stupid questions, and the other one got carried away by saying it's a great question, which had to be an eye roller to Colbert, because the guy knew the question was there.
I'm a rule follower, so if the rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do it.
That's right, rule followers.
Well, yeah, that would make sense for the M5M. Interesting.
Oddities are out there.
Be wary.
Well, I want to talk for a moment about Saudi Arabia.
Because there were two news stories.
And there was something else that happened that was not really reported.
Only in print did I find it.
The first is this.
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi government is now taking credit for a long-range missile fired at Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi government says it intercepted the missile over its capital city of Riyadh as it made its way towards Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport.
Now, the Houthi ministry called the mission successful because this attack shook the Saudi capital.
Tensions are already high between these two countries, which are at war.
Even though this attack came from Yemen, the war is considered a Saudi Arabia-Iran proxy war.
So all of a sudden we got stuff flying back and forth.
Yeah.
Any thoughts on that?
I heard this story.
I didn't clip it.
I think it's going to have to develop a little more.
It's definitely going to set things up.
This is not good because that means the Iranians have somehow gotten some missiles over to Yemen to launch them from there.
I'm thinking it's messaging.
I'm sure there's some messaging involved.
I think I might have the messaging.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'd like to know what it is.
Well, first, let's listen to the second news story, which was also very surprising.
Could this be a means to consolidate power as well?
I think that's part of the equation, George.
Many eyebrows were raised because the anti-corruption committee that he formulated over the weekend came down like a hammer overnight.
You mentioned the outlines of it.
We're looking at at least 11 princes.
The most prominent is Prince Mitheb, who was the head of the National Guard and had a ministerial ranking.
It's not very clear from the intro there, but he fired 11 princes and some very rich Saudis from some very prominent positions.
We had four sitting ministers overall, better than a dozen former ministers and extremely prominent businessmen, which I'll get to in a moment.
But I think we should roll back the clock when the Crown Prince took that position, moving from Deputy Crown Prince into the Crown Prince's position.
He signaled this back in May, that he wanted to tackle it, and it's six months into the job, and he's doing so.
Let's take a listen.
I assure you that no one involved in a corruption case will be spared, no matter if he is a prince or a minister.
With enough evidence, anyone will be held accountable.
Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince.
Now to the list here, George.
Prince Aulid bin Talaw is a name that's being circulated widely.
He's the chairman of Kingdom Holdings.
We probably know him internationally as a man worth better than $20 billion, an investor in Apple, an investor in Twitter, an investor in News Corp, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, Citigroup, Scores of others, his stock is down in trading on Sunday in Riyadh by better than 10%.
Bakr bin Laden, this is the older brother of Osama bin Laden, running a huge construction group in Saudi Arabia.
Together with Prince Awalid, they're building the Kingdom Tower, which will be the tallest in the world, better than one kilometer high.
Some question marks, of course, raised about financing in the future.
Another prominent name for the international business community, Asaf al-Assad is the former Minister of Finance and Minister of State.
Somebody who took Saudi Arabia into the G20 a few years back and respected within the IMF World Bank community.
The former Minister of Investment, another big trading family in Saudi Arabia.
Even an elderly billionaire, Salih al-Khamil, that people don't know outside the Middle East, but very prominent into Saudi Arabia.
So I would break this down into four categories, which I think sums up your point here, George.
First and foremost, the vision 2030 to overhaul the economy and move beyond oil, perhaps root out construction.
Modernize the economy, getting women to drive is a big move in June 2018, but also a different interpretation of Islam.
The corruption probe, but the last point that you were making, an ability to consolidate power, and I think underlining this is targeting those related to either directly by blood, but also in the business community To King Abdullah, who passed in 2015.
This is a tribal society, and consolidating power is all part of the bill when we see a change at the top.
King Salman and his crown prince son, 32-year-old Mohammed bin Salman, taking bold moves over the weekend.
So a lot of diverse people getting chucked out.
Big cleanup.
Big, big cleanup in the kingdom.
Now, the news that was not reported...
Wait, hold on.
What are they...
They're getting chucked out of what?
The government?
Yes, yes.
You heard him say they all have government positions.
Okay, so they're getting chucked out of the government, so they're inside...
Yeah, from finance, economy, you know, they're all doing these kinds of jobs.
And I think that this, which I got, you know, I always look at the WhiteHouse.gov website, Uh, well, our president, uh, who, as we know, had, you know, touched the orb and he was hanging out with everybody over there how long ago?
Was that his first big overseas trip?
I think it was like a month after he got in.
Yeah.
Well, he had a phone call with, uh, With King Salman of Saudi Arabia the other day.
How coincidental!
And we have a readout, which doesn't always happen.
And normally we get, you know, the full leaked transcript.
Hello, why didn't you leak this one?
President Donald J. Trump spoke yesterday with King Salman al-Saudi of Saudi Arabia.
King Salman expressed his condolences for the recent terrorist attack in New York City.
President Trump thanked the king for his support and emphasized America's commitment to defeating ISIS.
The leaders also discussed the continuing threat of Iranian-backed Houthi militias in Yemen and last night's intercepted missile attack on Riyadh.
They emphasized the importance of countering extremist ideologies and championing moderation and tolerance.
The president commended the king on achieving the commitments he announced during his historic Riyadh summit earlier this year, including launching the terrorist financing targeting center and the global center for combating extremist ideology.
President Trump thanked the King for military purchases, including a $15 billion investment in THAAD, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System, and billions more in commitments and investments.
Gee, it always helps when you send a couple missiles into someone's backyard.
So you're suggesting we sent the missiles over there.
Yeah, and here comes part two.
The president assured the king that he would support the purchase of appropriate military equipment that would keep Saudi Arabia safe and help create American jobs.
And the president asked the king to strongly consider, as I predicted, listing Aramco on a stock exchange in the United States.
Additionally, President Trump noted the King and Crown Princess recent public statements regarding the need to build a moderate, peaceful, tolerant region are essential to ensuring a hopeful future for the Saudi people, to curtailing terrorist funding, and to defeat radical ideology once and for all, so all the world can be safe from its evil.
So I'm thinking not only do we have a military sales job going on here, in addition to that, They're going to list on an American Stock Exchange.
Everybody wants it.
Frankfurt wants it.
London wants it.
But it's going to happen on an American Stock Exchange.
It has to be.
And he cleaned everything up.
And I think that this is already in the can.
And this was just a promise.
And maybe he was late on doing that.
Maybe we should two birds with one stone send a couple missiles over.
Because we're supposed to be stopping that.
Our stuff, our planes, everything is in that area.
I think this smells like a sales job, and you really want to list on our stock exchange.
They don't want to list anywhere else.
Well, you've got to give them credit for sales.
That's a pretty good bid.
Great sales.
Great sales job.
And I think we're good to go.
Aramco, which is a trillion-dollar company.
They're going to list on, well, maybe New York Stock Exchange.
That would be the New York Stock Exchange.
It makes sense.
That would be...
I mean, he would...
His dick would be 10 miles long if he can claim that.
That's a big deal for Wall Street.
There's so many fees.
There's so much money hanging off a trillion dollars.
Everyone's salivating.
Yeah, it's just the scraps.
Scraps are billions.
Scraps are billions, yeah, exactly.
So, I think that's what's happening there.
Okay, well, I didn't...
I've been trying to follow, but I have not caught the gist of what's going on with that guy.
Seems like it.
Lee, I got three things I have a little more elaborate.
I have elaborated on one, a bunch of short clips about this Jess.
Jeff Fessions?
Yeah.
And Jeff, by the way, is the name of the gray in the People of Earth sitcom, which I recommend to anyone who gets a chance to watch it.
Ah, is there a correlation?
There's something funny about a gray, a little gray alien named Jeff.
Jeff.
The funny thing is I think it might be modeled after Sessions.
So they're going after this guy again.
I'm wondering if there's something maybe we have a lot of people working in the government so we can just find out some numbers here.
Because I could do it but I'm not going to.
But it seems to me that Sessions was given this job As Attorney General, as his going away president, because he's retirement age.
Yes.
And I'm guessing that as long as he was in the Senate, which was, I don't know, two or three terms, four maybe, he would have a retirement pension.
Oh, beautiful package.
Which he still will get.
Yes.
But now he gets an additional double dip retirement for being the Attorney General.
Nice.
Don't you think?
I don't know how it works, but someone will let us know.
I'm pretty sure he does.
Could be.
And so I don't think he was ever put in there for the long haul.
It was done like, thanks for helping me with the campaign.
Here's your gold watch.
You're going to take a beating, meanwhile.
Let's start playing.
So they're going after him with a bunch of douchebags out there.
Sessions was in some meeting where some guy, this Papadopoulos, Who nobody had ever heard of before or since.
He was a volunteer who was in one of these meetings and suggested maybe we should have a meeting with Russia.
And Sessions said, no, no way.
We got a lot of things we're going to do, but we just don't even talk about that.
We're not, no.
But meanwhile, that counts as colluding with Russia, according to all the Democrats.
Yes.
And the networks and the TV networks.
So let's start with...
Sessions, ABC 1.
Martha, thank you.
Meantime tonight, Attorney General Jeff Sessions under fire this evening, facing new questions about what he said under oath about his time on the Trump campaign and any discussion involving the Russians.
Some asking, how did Sessions forget what was discussed at this meeting with the campaign advisor, who has now pleaded guilty and is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller?
ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross tonight.
All right.
Now, a couple of things.
This Papadopoulos was...
Everybody reports this.
He was...
He gave up on this...
He was lying to the FBI. What's the word I'm looking for?
Where he's...
It's called lying to the FBI. It's a federal offense.
No, no.
It's a felony.
Yeah, but he pled guilty, I guess, to it.
Well, he's a fool.
Well...
Now, I've heard report after report after report.
What was the lie?
Yeah, this I don't know.
I have no idea what he said or what he lied about.
I don't know.
It's unknown to me.
It's unknown to me?
Yes.
So I'd like to know this.
Where are you guys, news guys?
What do you need to lie about?
Because I think it's so stupid that they're too embarrassed to report it.
That's what I'm thinking.
Well, let's go to ABC2. The Attorney General of the United States, Jeff Sessions, is being accused tonight of hiding the truth.
He either has a terrible memory or...
He deliberately was not telling me the truth.
All based on new information about what happened at this Trump campaign meeting chaired by then-Senator Sessions.
According to court filings this week, Foreign Policy Advisor George Papadopoulos, seated between Sessions and Donald Trump, told the group he had connections with Russia that could help arrange a meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Yeah, it sounds okay.
He set it up.
See, this Papadopoulos character is seated between Sessions and Trump.
What does that sound like to you?
Like he's right in between them, which he wasn't, because I've seen the picture.
Yeah, no, he's nowhere near them.
No.
So we immediately know that this is a slanted report.
Yes.
And Brian Ross is really good at doing slanted reports, and this is an example.
You know, hiding the truth.
Yes.
Okay, let's go on to three.
Yet Sessions twice testified no one in the campaign was involved with Russia.
First, in January.
Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities.
And then again last month.
I don't believe they occurred.
And aid to Sessions disputes the Papadopoulos account.
But another person at the meeting, J.D. Gordon, a campaign aide, recalls Sessions being part of a discussion about the Papadopoulos proposal and shooting it down.
It's part of a pattern, but every time it just seems to get worse and worse and worse.
How does it get worse and worse and worse?
First of all, let's go back to what Ross said, which was Sessions denied anyone was involved.
The key word here is involved with Russia.
We're talking about the collusion case, involved with Russia.
Papadopoulos, we don't even know if he was involved with Russia.
All he did was suggest a meeting, which Sessions shot down, end of story.
How is this getting worse and worse and worse?
Let's go to the side here and play the Sessions-Jeff CBS tidbit.
Papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Former advisor J.D. Gordon was also at the campaign meeting and he said Sessions turned down Papadopoulos' offer.
Senator Sessions shut down that discussion because it was a bad idea.
And he said, I prefer if no one ever speaks about this again.
A source familiar with the meeting says Papadopoulos did not leave a lasting impression.
The source insisted Sessions had been entirely truthful in his testimony to Congress.
But Democratic senators like Ron Wyden are not so sure.
And so they go, so by the way, Jeff Pegues, again, I've said it before, I think he's the best reporter, even though it sounds like he's taking a dump, is the best reporter that reports these things because he's not dishonest.
Well, he has no time to be dishonest because he's got to get the report out to hit the can.
The guy's in trouble.
Got to go.
Got to go.
Okay, let's go to...
So that, again, doesn't show any involvement with Rush.
It's got some guy at the table who makes a wild suggestion that is killed.
So I don't get what all the fuss is about.
So let's go to Sessions ABC 3.
Adding to the questions about Sessions' truthfulness is another former campaign advisor, Carter Page.
He tells ABC News he informed Sessions during the campaign, in passing, he says, of a trip he was about to take to Moscow, a trip he described to us earlier this year.
And they saw a great potential for the future.
If Donald Trump was elected?
Yes, yes.
As for the president, he too has denied again and again anyone in his campaign was involved with Russia.
No, nobody that I know of.
So you're not aware of any contacts during the course of the election?
How many times do I have to answer this question?
Just nine days ago, the president touted his memory.
One of the great memories of all time.
But asked today about that campaign meeting last year with Papadopoulos and Sessions, he said this.
I don't remember much about that meeting.
It was a very unimportant meeting.
Took place a long time.
Don't remember much about it.
I thought that was chicken shit.
Yeah, I mean, the two can exist together.
They really can.
You know, I got a great memory.
Oh, I don't remember that.
I mean, yes, that is a possibility, but this is like a hit piece, even though it's really more aimed at Trump than it is Sessions.
But it's unbelievably, it's just ABC. I don't know what they're trying to do.
You're speaking as an old-school journo now.
Okay, let's show this number five.
And before he left for Asia, the president took his own swipe at Attorney General Sessions, asked if he might fire him for not investigating the Democrats.
They should be looking at a lot of things, and a lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department, including me.
Brian Ross with us here tonight.
And to keep things straight for our viewers at home, we know that Jeff Sessions met twice with the Russian ambassador during the campaign.
After initially denying any contact with the Russians, he later amended this testimony, acknowledging he did.
But Brian, these are new questions about a second meeting during which the Russians were discussed, even at the idea of meeting...
Hmm.
Okay.
Is that where it ended?
Yeah.
I think it's on...
The thing on this one, it put me aside.
This is what got me onto thinking that Sessions is a short timer on purpose.
Because this is the second or third time Trump has gone after him publicly, saying, he's got to go, he's got to go.
Oh, yes.
That's probably part of the whole game.
Yeah, he's part of the game because you just can't fire him out of the blue.
He has to show some displeasure and everybody knows that Trump is unhinged.
By the way, we haven't heard that for a while.
That's got to come back into the cycle.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
And so it'll look fine when he gets out and he'll have his double pensions, double dipping.
We've got it made.
You know, I mean, yeah.
Let's go to six and wrap this one.
Oh, we do have a six.
Yes.
OK. The Russians were discussed even at the idea of meeting between then candidate Trump and Vladimir Putin, a meeting the Justice Department says that Sessions turned down.
But if he did turn it down, how did he not remember turning it down?
Well, that is the question.
David, and today Senator Franken told me he wants Sessions to come back to Congress once again to answer a slew of new questions, saying it's time for the Attorney General now to speak with a clear and consistent voice once and for all.
You heard the President say he's unhappy at the Justice Department.
Brian, thank you.
With this question tonight, President Trump is now urging his AG to go after his former rival Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, and that's the way that's...
It's very, very obvious.
It's transparent.
It's tiring.
And Franken is such a dick.
Yeah, yeah.
He is.
He is.
And he'll get re-elected, I'm sure.
Is anyone contesting him?
Well, somebody should.
He shouldn't have got elected the first time.
That was corrupt.
Everyone knows it.
You know, the former New York banker also told me that there's a Democrat who's going to take on Tom Cruise.
Was it Ted Cruz?
Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise.
And he's a pro-pot guy.
I'm like, well, he's got my vote.
Once the Republicans realize that that's a lost cause, their attitude toward pot.
Yes, but wait.
The former New York banker doesn't mention this for no good reason.
I'm thinking that he's going to want to start a business.
We're going to get Danny the drug dealer.
He'll be our product guy.
Well, I think you've got a ways to go to legalize pot in Texas.
I know, but we'll be ready.
Now, they may do the national thing.
That would solve the problem.
Wouldn't that be fantastic?
There's been talk about it, and it's always on the rumor level.
Sessions is the guy who's been a dick about it the whole time.
Yes, that's why he's got to go.
Ah, and then we could say, now that he's gone, it's time to toke up.
It's possible that this is all part of a greater scheme.
I'm not, you know, saying it is, I'm just saying it's possible.
It would be nice if it was.
I'm tired of being an outlaw.
I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
And onward, we go with, we got our $50.
I'm sorry, before you start, I had a PR mention I forgot.
I wanted to thank Sir John Overall for purchasing and forwarding to our noagendashow.com website, the domain name, houseoftrolls.com.
Well, that could come in handy.
Yes, for the business.
We're just going to name everyone, and you got your two-for-one offer if you're being listed at all.
Which includes Jonathan Keegan, who came in from Charlotte, North Carolina.
If you brought yourself up to Nighthood, you will be listed on the Nighthood reading that Adam will be doing right after this.
And if you didn't get it, we'll get you on the next one if you send in a note.
We sure will.
Headline, subject line, error.
Error, error, error, error.
Jonathan Keegan in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Sir J.D., the Bayron of Silicon Valley, San Jose, California.
Two to the head doubling credit.
It's what he's looking for for a jingle.
And he's a baron, so let's give him a two to the head baron.
Okay.
I got that here.
Two to the head for you, sir, as requested.
Marjeet Singh in New Delhi, India.
I don't know if this came in after our other Indian donor.
Here is the other one.
There's two guys in India who are not cheap.
Yeah, that's surprising.
Times are changing.
It's the new India, John.
The new India.
The new India.
Well, we're now buddies with India.
We're teaming up against Pakistan and the Chinas.
So the Indians are our friends.
Notice no donations from Pakistan, huh?
I don't think we've ever had a Pakistani donate.
And they all speak English.
They probably listen to the show.
Jeroen Hüttinga, Sir O. Elenas.
Okay.
It's Jeroen...
Juergen Hüttings.
It's Jeroen Hüttinga.
Jeroen Hüttinga.
Sir O. Elenas.
In Wageningen.
Wageningen.
That's what I said.
But he says because of the bot, his name will be Sir O. Elenas, which means the Greek, because he resides in the Greek.
That's weird.
All right.
Sir O. Ellenus, you got it, my friend.
Thank you very much for your support.
James Williams, $150, says it was a Euron.
Dame Beth, the Baroness of Baja, Arizona.
Yes.
She says, triple goat karma, please.
She wants it near the end.
We're not doing those.
Just to irritate JB. I'm not going to do that to irritate my friend, my partner, my podcast partner.
Yeah.
Yeah, he says.
David B. Weed in Three Rivers.
You're like gearing up for a fight.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm right behind you, Curry.
Luca Maria Alberto in Savosa.
What do you think that is?
I think it's Asberto.
Asberto.
I don't know why.
It's in Italy or Tyrolia?
Switzerland.
Switzerland's not T-I. Oh, no, it's C-H. Oh, Tyrolia.
Oh, it's the Italian part of Switzerland.
Of course, Swiss Tyrol.
Southern Switzerland.
Yeah.
Serendipity.
Boom.
Boom counter?
Coimbra, Portugal.

Done.
Upgrades done.
Done, done, done.
Good work.
That's unbelievable what you just did.
Considering you've done it for the last six shows.
I kind of got you.
It's the Ratchet.
By the way, who invented the Ratchet?
The ratchet was a good idea.
Do you know who invented the ratchet?
Nurse ratchet?
Nope.
That flaming homosexual Leonardo da Vinci.
Oh, that guy.
That guy.
Flamer.
Figures something used in S&M dungeons would be invented by him.
Flamer.
Just ratchet me up.
Hey, Leo.
Leonardo.
Ratchet me, baby.
So here's a couple more that make goods.
Which probably will include a few nightings.
I didn't think about that part.
Oh, okay.
It's okay.
We can move to the next show.
It's not a big deal.
They'll carry over.
The way I see it.
This is Richard Unterberger, who I went back and forth with him, whether I read this note or not.
And I said, yeah, I think we read this.
And he said, no, I don't.
You didn't read it.
So he...
He got knighted Greg Unterberger, and it should be Richard, so we'll have to re-knight him on the next show.
Can you send that to Eric?
I will take care of it.
Oh, sure.
No.
You're Buzzkill and Crackpot, Father and Curmudgeon.
I've been a loyal listener since episode 505, listening to each episode easily three times.
If he's one of these guys, that means we're not going to get anything by him.
Nope.
And listener since episode 5, listening three times, and for shame, I've been a boner, a boner-biting douchebag.
Oh, no.
At one point, you two even mentioned me on the show, a ray of sunshine brightening one of my saddest days when a deer destroyed my Triumph 944-I. Oh.
Still, I did not donate.
Aren't those made of balsa wood to start with?
That's a Morgan you think of.
Oh, that's a Morgan.
Well, douchebag no longer.
This $450 double donation credit plus the $100 donation my lovely girlfriend Tanya donated for my birthday puts me at night level and I humbly request the title of Sir Chard of the Tiny Cars.
We did him.
We knighted him.
Did you knight him as Sir Chard of the Tiny Cars?
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
I remember distinctly.
Okay.
Well, you heard that, right, Richard?
Because I kind of remember that, too.
I think we did it twice, even.
I remember...
I know that we did it twice.
He listens to the show three times, he'd know.
The six-week cycle is the highlight of my 2013, and as sick as it sounds, I miss it.
Thank you for your courage, and I'm drinking to your continued success, and to another five years, so hopefully John doesn't lose his vitamin B pills.
And he'd like a Hillary cackle, goat scream...
Yeah.
Yeah, this is what I told him.
I said, I remember the Hillary cackle.
I don't remember the Triumph, though.
I would have remembered that.
A deer hitting his bike.
Hillary cackle.
Goat scream.
Yeah.
He douching, and he's not sure about the karma, so leave that out.
Okay.
You've been de-douched.
I remember the exact same thing happened.
I pulled the exact same clip and said, well, it's not Hillary.
It's okay.
No, it's totally Hillary.
Are you nuts?
Oh, I'm sorry.
What am I thinking?
Yeah, yeah.
We've got Chris Wilson here, one of our regulars.
Yeah, and he asked for de-douching for someone, and there was something else because we did that.
I remember this.
I sent in a tourist note asking...
Yeah, I read this.
Yeah, he wants to de-douching for his son, Felix.
Yeah, we did that on the last show.
I'll do it again.
Felix, here you go.
You've been de-douched.
Something is wrong in the back office.
Well, something's wrong with people that don't hear what's going on.
I got that note, and I read that note already.
I'm going to read this one.
This is the one we talked about earlier.
I have a great memory.
One of the best memories of all time.
I've heard that.
I think I got too clever with my name, and my boy Sam and I weren't sure how to spell it, but Servizgoat is pronounced like the Servizgoat.
Which is what we talked about.
Okay, we got him covered.
Okay, we were getting near the end.
I have one, Sean.
I have some stuff.
I only have half your notes, so I'm going to read that on the next show.
And my note 970, this is Charles Jude Prestia.
Okay.
Okay.
On my note, 977, I added the postscript and invitation to check out the unbelievable podcast.
I thought we mentioned the unbelievable podcast.
I remember it.
Okay, we did.
All right, so that's done.
And then last, for Sean, whose note has been cut in half, and I've got to do that next show.
There's just...
Oh, no.
That was it.
That was the last of the error messages.
We'll have more for the next show.
Catch you all up.
All right.
Send them just to me.
Don't send them to Adam, because he'll take care of some of this stuff in the meantime, and then I'm reading redundant.
Well, I send...
Everything I get, I send to Eric.
Yeah.
Well, I do, too.
And so Eric gets two of everything or one and a half of everything.
Ah, okay.
Yeah, and people are always sending it to both of us to be, you know...
We'll try and put it in the PayPal, people.
Papadopoulos.
Hello, Papadopoulos.
Error messages.
Send to me.
Error.
And we'll take care of it.
By two more shows, we'll have everything.
It should be straight.
I'm not sad.
I want people to be happy with their support, and I want everything to work out.
Let's do a little social justice warrior news here.
This came in this morning from The Sun.
It's The Sun, so take it with what you want.
The Sun?
The UK? London Sun?
Yes.
Daddy can be mommy.
That's right.
Womb transplants could allow men to have babies.
This is more than just the son.
I figured.
Oh, I'm very excited about this.
What a great idea.
To ruin humanity!
They're pretty serious about this.
This is Oxford.
Oxford said, you know, we can do this.
Okay.
When that happens, it's time to end the show.
Because this is no help for humanity.
The second one, you probably heard about this.
This was just such a racial thing.
It really bothered me.
This is an email that leaked out from Madeline Leder.
And she is, I think she runs the technology department at the Democratic National Committee.
And this is the email that leaked out, and it was internal.
Work at the DNC, exclamation mark, was the subject, October 30th when this was sent.
A bit more than just the messenger here, but we in the technology department here at the DNC are looking to hire the following positions.
Chief security officer, data science lead, full stack engineer, IT help desk manager, IT systems administrator, product designer, product director, product manager.
Sounds like there's a lot of work there.
And maybe even some of our dudes or dudettes named Ben would be interested.
You know, there's work.
There's not work everywhere, so it's exciting.
As you may have heard, we are rebuilding the technology team into a robust, well-oiled machine that can tackle all elections from the presidential down to dog catcher in the school board.
This is serious.
This is great.
This is an opportunity.
What's more important is that we are focused on hiring and maintaining a staff of diverse voices and life experiences, something that we desperately need if we hope to secure the future of our country.
Yes, that is the liberal way, the progressive way.
We are building a distributed tech team so most of our positions can be based wherever you happen to live.
I mean, this is fantastic!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Feel free to forward on to your contacts.
Oh, and I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight white males since they're already in the majority.
Thanks for taking the time.
Madeline.
That is illegal.
Quite a bunch.
It's very illegal and incredibly bigoted.
I'm telling you that Democrat Party is the worst.
I don't understand why people stick with it.
Racist.
It's racist.
It's bigoted.
And illegal.
That is truly illegal.
If I was staff in this operation, which obviously is going to be poorly staffed, I wouldn't care about, I don't care about color, creed, anything.
If I'm looking for coders, I want good coders.
You want dudes and dudettes who can do the deed.
Wow.
That's a classic.
That could be an opening, what do you think?
What, Dudesic and Duda D? Yeah?
No.
Oh, okay.
But it is...
Well, I have one more thing.
One more thing.
Oh, another one?
Well, this is a rare, rare case from NPR. You know, NPR's getting pretty interesting, and one of our producers, he really sends me time codes, he sends me clips, and I love the guy for it.
Sometimes, there is such a thing...
As black privilege.
And NPR is going to explain that.
Now, they won't call it black privilege, but it is true when it comes to the opioid crisis, black privilege is a thing.
So our new opioid addiction epidemic is sparing African-American and Latino communities.
And it's striking when you look at the data, whether you're looking at overdose deaths or Or emergency room visits for opioid use problems or treatment admissions for opioid addiction.
It's very clear that this epidemic is overwhelmingly white and it begs the question, why?
I can share with you a theory and it is a theory that's based on evidence.
Something that we do know is that doctors prescribe narcotics more cautiously to their non-white patients.
It would seem that if the patient is black, the doctor is more concerned about the patient becoming addicted, or maybe they're more concerned about the patient selling their pills, or maybe they are less concerned about pain in that population. or maybe they are less concerned about pain in that But the black patient is less likely to be prescribed narcotics and therefore less likely to wind up becoming addicted to the medication.
So what I believe is happening is that racial stereotyping is having a protective effect on non-white populations.
Are doctors acknowledging that they're less likely to prescribe narcotics, pain medication to black and Latino patients?
I don't think they're aware of it.
I think this happens on an unconscious level.
This is such a load of horse crap.
It's very funny.
So he's saying because doctors are racist, we're saving the black man and women and the brown man and women.
Wow!
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy we have something, finally.
Whitey's dying because of racism.
Hey, when you got lemons.
Unbelievable.
That is so awful, unhinged, to even suggest that the medical community doesn't want to prescribe pills to anybody.
Please.
Please.
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense when these pills are going out.
I still have the Vegas massacre stuff with the sheriff, so do you want me to do that now, or do you want to do your stuff here?
Well, I've got a couple things I want to get out of the way.
I've got the Bergdahl rap, so I know where that stands.
It's a two-parter, Bergdahl rap and Bergdahl 2.
Sergeant Bo Bergdahl arrived in court facing a possible life sentence.
And left demoted to a disgraced buck private.
His army career over.
But he's a free man.
In June of 2009, Bergdahl walked off his war zone post in Afghanistan.
He carried nothing to protect him but a compass and a Jason Bourne delusion.
Within hours, the Taliban had him.
Bergdahl spent five years living as a captive in a metal cage before President Obama negotiated his release.
Prosecutors wanted him to serve a 14-year sentence.
Bergdahl, now 31, told the Sunday Times he realizes many Americans want him executed.
The people who want to hang me, you're never going to convince those people.
One of those people is his commander-in-chief.
This was then-candidate Trump.
This dirty, rotten traitor, 30 years ago he would have been shot.
Boom!
Firing squad.
Colonel Jeffrey Nance imposed his sentence without explanation, but said he'd weigh the president's remarks in Bergdahl's favor.
Bergdahl's most serious charge was endangering U.S. troops searching for him, like Master Sergeant Mark Allen.
Taliban forces shot Allen in the head.
Spot the spook.
Spot the spook.
Everybody wants to spot the spook.
And on to the kicker.
Bergdahl was dishonorably discharged from the Army.
That means he'll lose all of his veteran and military benefits, including access to VA mental health care, which his lawyers say he needs.
Anthony, a dishonorable discharge comes with an automatic appeal.
Mark Strassman at Fort Bragg.
Thank you, Mark.
So they're going to get his...
What?
There's an automatic appeal?
Yeah.
And what do you think is going to happen there?
Yeah, it'll be exonerated.
Yeah, of course.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
Well, especially that we know that they got him back in return for drug dealers.
Yeah, which were needed to run the drug operation.
Yes.
I got to talk to our military intelligence guys about him.
But I think they're all blinded.
They're all blinded by the desertion part.
They can't think through it and think, wait a minute, this guy was something else.
Yeah.
But I don't think...
He may not have been...
And we don't know that he was in a cage for five years.
And I don't think he was necessarily working for military intelligence.
I think he was probably CIA. That's what I was thinking.
That's why his parents were with Obama.
The Taliban beard guy.
You actually posted the definition of Occam's razor just to let everyone know that the no-agenda way of thinking makes nothing but sense.
Yeah.
So that's that for that guy.
Let him go.
It's no charge.
They throw the book at everybody.
It's the simplest things.
They've gotten guys who are actual heroes.
How about Chelsea Manning?
Chelsea Manning, yeah.
That's a good one.
But Chelsea Manning was running her own operation.
That's the problem.
She wasn't working for anybody.
Yeah, mistake.
Mistake, Chels.
Huge mistake.
Huge mistake.
Now, the one last thing I can run is the Twitter, this stupid story that's been going around about the employee over at Twitter that cut off Trump's account.
And everyone's in a tizzy about this.
But the thing that I was trying to figure out by listening to the reports, was it a woman?
Oh.
Or was it a man?
They both hated Trump, but was it a woman?
They kept it so gender neutral.
I want to play some of these clips.
It was a contractor.
That's all we know, right?
I was an employee.
Oh, no.
I read this morning it was a contractor.
Oh, they're changing the story is what they're doing.
Well, there's a lot of that going around.
Now, listen to the interesting gender-neutral ways of doing things.
The best one is the best, the absolute modern gender neutral way to present the story is the way ABC did.
This is the Twitter trim their last day, ABC gender, gender neutral.
Twitter is now explaining why the president's Twitter page went dark.
The company responding after President Trump's Twitter account was disabled last night, displaying the message, sorry, that page doesn't exist.
Twitter blaming an employee working on their last day last night saying inadvertently doing it.
Tonight, company officials now say they've put new safeguards in place to prevent it from happening again.
Now, in there they used they.
They, yes.
Which, by the way, this is going to be a problem.
Yeah.
Because normally as a writer or if you're writing these stories, you say, the person they, they changed the name of – it's not a they.
They changed the name of Donald Trump or they canceled the Trump account.
It's only one person, so it's either a he or a she, but it's okay nowadays.
A modern way of doing it is they as referring to one person, but this new gender thing, which has they as one of the genders.
Reserved word!
Is going to be a problem for anybody who works in media.
If they're going to go along with the bull crap.
Now I want to play.
This is the Twitter KPIX. This is the old-fashioned way of doing the same thing.
Sorry, that page doesn't exist, is what popped up if you searched for at Real Donald Trump on Twitter last night.
For 11 minutes, the president's page was taken down.
Twitter revealed it was a customer support employee on his or her last day of work who deleted the president's page.
Yeah, you're so right.
Good catch.
His or her.
Good catch, his or her.
Very old-fashioned.
Go back to school.
I would have played him the other way around.
I don't know.
Or him?
No, I would have played the old clip first and then the new clip.
Oh, well, I don't know.
It's just a style.
Here's the CBS version of the same thing.
Oh, where is this?
Ah, yeah, got it.
He harped on the same theme in a tweet about Senator Elizabeth Warren, who he calls Pocahontas because she...
No, no.
You sure that's...
I see it.
I'm sorry.
I got it.
I'm sorry.
It's right under it.
Thursday night, the president briefly lost his ability to use Twitter, one of his favorite modes of communication, when a departing company employee shut down his account.
I guess the word must finally be getting out and having an impact, the president said.
Twitter said we have implemented safeguards to prevent this from happening again.
But cybersecurity expert Eric O'Neill says he is skeptical.
So my concern is that if they had access to shut it down, is it possible that someone has access and could send out their own tweet?
Oh, I hope so.
Oh, boy.
Goodie, goodie, goodie.
Goodie, goodie, goodie.
That's going to happen for sure.
But CBS, I thought, handled it completely different than the other guys.
It's not a standalone story, but they hooked it in with another story, and they used it as a kind of a follow-up, just kind of a minor story.
And I think it was a minor story.
I don't think it was standalone.
No.
Big deal.
You know, the guy loses a count for 11 minutes.
No, it was just more clickbait.
Everyone on the face back.
Wow!
Wow!
Does he keep it up forever?
Do it again!
Do it again!
I think, Derry, get the time code for that.
Okay.
I think you nailed it, finally.
All right.
Now, I just want one more clip, then it's all yours for the rest.
All right.
I just want to, because I want to catch up.
This is Manafort, the Manafort catch-up clip.
Where do we stand on this?
Manafort has been, of course, railroaded.
The Mueller is doing an investigation of collusion with the Russians.
And so this has nothing to do with the Russians or collusion, but he's going to pick off a few people that are targets, and Manafort's at the top of the list.
Paul Manafort is the best known of the characters in the news this week.
He made himself rich by busying himself in Ukraine, helping the pro-Russian President Yanukovych, but he went on to help Trump, in fact, to lead his campaign.
The charges, money laundering and tax fraud all relate to activity before he was working for candidate Trump.
They've been fiercely challenged by his lawyer.
He was seeking to further democracy, And to help the Ukraine come closer to the United States and the EU. Those activities ended in 2014, over two years before Mr.
Manafort served in the Trump campaign.
The difficulty for the president is that everyone expects there to be more.
Special prosecutors often interpret their brief widely.
And these indictments show Robert Mueller is no exception.
Okay, how do you parse that?
You know, this is Mueller's going after whatever he can find.
This is bull crap.
They should pull that guy and his license.
You know what?
We need a serious, like, sex scandal in the midst of all this.
We need a real one, a good one.
Well, they're not doing very well with that.
They got this fat guy, Weinstein.
So, I'm thinking that...
The tax evasion thing is the one that kind of caught my attention because I believe Manafort in this.
He may be Have ditched the money.
But they found documents in Ukraine that showed there was a payout of some millions and millions of dollars that Manafort, he says he never got.
Oh, I remember that.
And I think that's probably true.
I think he didn't get it.
Yeah, he was going after like 12 million or something.
Yeah, and they're saying he didn't get a nickel probably because they didn't pay him.
Yeah.
Hey, we didn't win.
You go get paid.
And you and I, we no likey.
Hmm.
So he's going to have trouble.
He's a target.
They're going to sink that guy.
He's the Scooter Libby of this administration.
Yeah, there you go.
Quick little One Road, One Bridge update.
You know, as the Chinese have their plan to take over the world, look at silkroad.noagendanotes.com for some update, and I put these links in there as well.
We now officially have opened up China's base in Africa, the first one, in Djibouti, which is right where we have our drone base.
And the reasoning for having Chinese troops boots on the ground is to promote peace and stability.
That's exactly what China's President Xi Jinping said.
War is peace!
Wait, where is it?
Here it is.
We've got to play the marching pigs whenever we hear that.
Fear is freedom.
Subjugation is liberation.
Contradiction is truth.
Those are the facts of this world.
And you will all surrender to them.
You pigs in human clothing.
Yay.
Now, you recall we were looking at possible EU spring countries.
And correlating that with the New Silk Road, One Road, One Belt initiative.
And Venice was one that we thought was kind of interesting.
Like, why is Venice?
Venice is on the list.
It's an important part of the sea route.
And it turns out The leaders...
I'm reading this here.
Okay, so there was a referendum, and this is the two regions in Italy...
I'm just going to read it from the page here, from Bloomberg.
Leaders of two regions in Italy's wealthy north claimed victory in referendums Sunday to demand more autonomy from the state.
In a ballot that could strengthen the anti-immigration Northern League party ahead of national elections early next year, final vote counts show that 95% of those who cast ballots in Lombardy and 98% in Veneto...
Supported greater autonomy.
Over 57% voters in Veneto went to the polls, while turnout in Lombardy was 38%, according to regional electoral authorities.
And, you know, the important part of Veneto is Venice is...
Is ground zero there?
So we have another possible autonomous situation brewing, which would come up in the upcoming...
See, I guess there's an...
Is there a national vote that's coming up?
We're going to need some boots on the ground.
Can you hear about this?
Well, it's on Bloomberg.
While the legal but non-binding referendums have little in common with the recent Catalan independence vote in Spain, according to Bloomberg, they do echo autonomy movements in countries including Scotland and France.
Televised images showed voters in Lombardy and Veneto, whose regional capitals are Milan and Venice, smiling and waving proudly to television cameras after exiting voting stations.
And then they said, fuck you, China!
Maybe they didn't say that, but there you go.
Coincidental.
Well, the Chinese are going to have to park their boats somewhere.
It's not like they can't park the boats.
It's just that people are being nasty and thwarting their efforts.
So the last final bit I have today, we are going a bit long.
The affiliates should note this, but it won't be too long.
There's an hour-long interview that Sheriff Joe Lombardo of Clark County Las Vegas did about the Vegas massacre, the Route 91 shooting, I think is now the name of it.
And he did this with...
George Knapp.
Now, George Knapp does work for, I think, KLAS, Las Vegas local television station, but it was a simultaneous interview because he also hosts a number of days on Coast to Coast AM, the George Nouri show.
So it's an interesting choice for the sheriff to do, to sit down an hour-long interview with.
Yes, that would be, I would consider that weird.
Well, unless you want to message something to the conspiracy theorist.
He's had a big problem with that.
He keeps talking about stop it.
Stop the conspiracies.
Right off the bat, he changes the story yet again.
24, 48 hours we did, and it was nondescript.
I believe it was described as vanilla in some of the newscasts, but I could use that word vanilla with him.
I guess he's worried about racism there.
I can say vanilla.
It's not racist.
He wasn't on our radar.
He wasn't on the federal database radar.
He wasn't on our local radar.
He wasn't even in our criminal radar.
My understanding, he had two previous traffic citations.
And that's just about it.
We've learned that he had some success via real estate.
Either management or sales of real estate.
He previously was a CPA. He had some various jobs, lived in various places, but he became a prolific gambler.
And over time, he's gone up and down in his wealth associated with gambling and real estate and everything else that he chose to do.
But, you know, since 2015, September of 2015, he's lost a significant amount of wealth.
And I think that might have a determining factor on what he determined to do.
Oh, well, isn't that interesting?
How come he doesn't mention the IRS? He said an accountant, didn't he?
Something like that.
Who cares?
John, John, who gives a shit?
He's saying now that the guy was losing money and that's probably the reason.
That's a new story.
It's bullcrap, too.
So he's saying, oh, the guy, I guess he snapped.
But wait, you're talking to the guy from Coast to Coast AM. He has some no agenda thinking in him.
You know, that first day when we were hearing a description of his background, he sounded like a spook, like a spy.
He's got a lot of money.
He travels around.
He disappears for months at a time.
He clearly had some kind of knowledge about guns based on what he did.
He had his own plane.
He sounds like James Bond.
Yeah.
I wouldn't give him that descriptive or that title, but I think it's just because he was just, you know...
Working in the shadows and nondescript, wasn't out in front of the spotlight.
We were a little confused by that.
Even his electronic history, when we went through all his computer systems and everything else, it was really nondescript.
I guess you could say spook.
Through our investigation, we determined that's not the case, obviously.
Obviously.
Everything he said is obviously a spook.
Yes, he says, I guess you could call him a spook, but...
Nondescript, vanilla, I mean, the spies aren't going around in white ermine coats.
You know, some field agent was wearing, you know, gold teeth.
They're supposed to be, like, blend in.
And there was a whole series of these stories once, and they showed some of the more successful field agents.
They were just duds.
Yeah.
I mean, they were just, you know, they were out there.
They were having coffee.
They could blend into anything.
It was like there were nothing special about them.
But even when you hear the sheriff say, well, I guess you could call him a spook.
Yeah, I don't think he knows what spook meant.
Yeah, he does.
You know, I guess you could say spook.
Gee, I just called him a spook.
Gee, that sounds pretty convincing.
What should I say?
Through our investigation, we determined that's not the case, obviously.
He didn't determine anything.
Of course he didn't determine anything.
You haven't determined anything, but you did this one determination that he's not a spook?
Give me a break.
And then, just for my own personal pleasure, you know, the guy supposedly blew his brains out.
And you recall that they took his brains to the lab, because maybe we can find out if he was crazy from his brains.
What do you think it was?
I don't know.
You know, we're going through, we're doing an autopsy, obviously, on the pathology on his brain.
The coroner is in the process of having that completed, which takes some time.
So we don't know if he had a mental defect that caused him to all of a sudden change the way he was going to conduct himself or what he was going to do into the future that we all know about.
But there had to be some trigger point.
And you're right.
He started purchasing weapons.
Now, he's talking himself into a box because he already had the...
He was losing money, so he had the snap.
There had to be a trigger point.
But the guy was so methodical over such a long...
Period of time that the sheriff is talking his way into a corner here.
In a short period of time and a large amount of number of weapons.
So there was something that, you know, popped his trigger or caused him to go that direction.
And we have yet to determine what that is.
You know, I actually hope we find something in the pathology of his brain that help us understand this.
But we haven't had that...
One salient point, that trigger point, to identify what made him snap.
But we're saying what made him snap.
Obviously, he took a long time to think this out and process, obtain the weaponry, the logistics, and thought out the plans and everything else associated with it.
So it may be a longer-term issue that made him snap, per se, but we may not find out.
Yeah, we may not find out.
Yeah, how about the...
You're not going to find out anything with that guy running the show.
The pathology.
Yeah, we want the pathology.
Meanwhile, we've got the media pretty pissed off about what's going on in Vegas.
News 3 and six national news organizations have filed lawsuits seeking public records from Metro.
It comes after police and Clark County officials have denied repeated requests from News 3 and other media for typically available public records, including a record of 911 calls made the night of October 1st and recordings of the calls.
Because there's no search for suspects and no pending criminal trial, attorneys say the public has a right to know what police uncovered.
Quote, significant questions remain unanswered about the shooter's actions and the response of public agencies.
The lawsuit was filed this morning in District Court and it comes 20 days after Metro's last press conference.
The court is also being asked to unseal records on 14 search warrants served early in the investigation.
Police had a warrant for Paddock's Mesquite home, a warrant for the 32nd floor hotel suite at Mandalay Bay, and they attempted to obtain electronic information about Paddock from Verizon and Google.
News attorneys argue that the public's interest isn't served by keeping the records sealed when the suspect is dead and when there's no ongoing search for suspects.
The court filing reads that without an ongoing effort to apprehend, charge, and prosecute criminals, that the public has a right to evaluate its government's response to the shooting.
The lawsuit says it's the only way the public can know if the response was, quote, appropriate, lawful, and effective.
So I'm not so sure that the guy is even dead if we listen to this journalist, this journal, Eli Stockles from the WAPO. The unifying thread is the sort of broader politics of Donald Trump, the ethnocentric nationalism.
He did not react this way when a white person shot dozens of people in Las Vegas.
He did not come and say, well, we have to do an immediate policy change.
We need to give this guy the death penalty.
Yeah.
Let's give this dead guy the death penalty.
That showed up on a tweet, too.
Somebody said, Trump asked for the death penalty for this guy, but didn't say anything about the death penalty for the Vegas shooter.
And a note to our producer.
What the hell?
How stupid are these people?
Well, it's evident.
And note to our producers, please, stop sending me video of local burials for these victims.
Just stop.
I don't want any more videos to be sent to me of eulogies of people who died in Vegas.
It's just, it's real, I can't handle anymore.
Because I've received absolutely zero.
You can't find them.
One.
People say, oh look, I found one!
I said, yep, 57 more to go.
Yeah, well, I don't know about that.
I'm not on board with that idea, but it's possible.
I don't like it.
Well, I mean, I can understand why you don't like it, but you don't like a lot of stuff.
That's true.
I probably like your Apple ad, though.
Is that something for the last bit here?
The Apple ad, I think, is a racist...
Okay, I'm going to play this Apple ad.
Yeah.
This is from an Apple commercial, and I want you to tell me by the voices, even though it's not always accurate, whether it's a black person or whether it sounds like a black person, because they have faces of the people that are talking, and it's a black person and kind of a mulatto girl and another black person, and then there's no person, but there's a voice.
So just tell me, one after the other is about, I think, five voices or four.
Tell me, black or white.
Okay, I'm focusing.
Is this voice black or white?
My millennials!
Stay woke!
Yeah, very funny.
Well, you'd think it sounds black.
Okay.
It sounds black.
And the last voice, which was, okay, I'll meet you in the lounge.
Yeah.
Now, if this is, they're giving a black-ish voice, but they show black faces.
Black face?
No, black faces.
Oh, black faces, yes.
And the last one, which sounds black to me, they didn't have a face associated with it.
But the image, what they were doing, they show a black face and they show one of these moving emojis.
Don't tell me they showed the poop emoji.
They showed the poop emoji with a black voice.
No!
You want to meet me in the lounge?
You want to meet me in the club?
You want to meet me downtown?
A poop emoji that said okay.
No.
I'm telling you, I swear.
Racist.
You should be smashing your iPhone 10.
I think it's incredibly racist.
It's incredibly insensitive and insulting.
Yes, and people should be smashing their iPhone 10s in front of the Apple store.
Well, nothing will come of it, of course, because I'm the only one who noticed it and everybody else wants it.
Oh, the black community should notice it because they don't buy iPhones.
They're not that dumb.
Ha, ha, ha.
Yeah, why are they even marketing to the black community?
It's Android, baby.
We all know that.
All right, John.
I get nothing but grief because everyone thinks I hate the apple.
I'm starting to hate the apple just through osmosis.
I like the apple.
I just think that the X is the Vista.
What can I say?
It's the Vista.
No, it's the Vista.
It has a stench of Vista.
It does.
A Vista...
Vista Roma.
And, of course, they had all the lines around the block and all this again.
Oh, brother.
All right, everybody.
We come back on Thursday.
And until then, I am your podcaster, Pronounced Decatur, here in downtown Austin, Texas, in the Common Law Condo, in the 5x9 Cludio.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We do have a London meetup coming up.
Anyone in the London area, please send me an email.
Until the London meetup, better known as Thursday is when we'll be back.
Right here on No Agenda, as we always say.

Adios, mofos.
Till anikdalas expanded.
A new order started.
Wait.
Oh no.
The world began to war again.
The middle class was poor again.
While television sold the myths of climate conscious communists.
From Arab Spring to Caliphates to Mockingbird and Watergate.
It all started with the Big May.
Everybody found the fix when money entered politics.
It all started with the bait, mate.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Come on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Come on.
When I first started college, when I went running, after five minutes, I started feeling a burning in my chest.
And it was just me sucking in soot and smog.
The smog was so bad.
It was like, you might die.
You might die.
Barack is an inventory of the devil, but you know that he's black, and that's all you want to know.
I said this is blatant racism.
It is destroying the dream.
It is anti-Dr.
King.
You African, you Jesse Jackson, you process head Al Sharpton, you are wicked!
You are cursed!
Yeah, yeah.
Until George H.W. Bush kicks the bucket, they won't release these files.
He was supposed to be dead by now.
I'm back in the day.
I'm back in the day.
That's what we did.
I'm going to kind of say, well, that'd be great when you're at all.
You can pull that stunt.
As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, David, cup a feel.
You're supposed to be a death one. - Disappear for the moon.
You're supposed to be dead by three days.
David, come on.
You're supposed to be dead by three days.
