	Ooh, I love me at the smell of a ditto.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, November 12, 2017.
	This is your award-winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 981.
	This is No Agenda.
	Go easy on me, because I'm transitioning and broadcasting live from downtown Austin Tejas, capital of the Golden Star State, in the Cludio, in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's a sunny, bright day, everybody's happy.
	It's time to shop for Christmas.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackball and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	We have a crappy day here.
	Gloomy, cold, chilly.
	69 degrees.
	Swazzle nuff.
	You do a good burr.
	Yeah, I'm in transition, John.
	It's tough.
	It's been rough this weekend.
	Yeah?
	Did you get the lop it off of me yet?
	Yeah.
	I'm transitioning to windows.
	Oh!
	This has been interesting.
	We're still on the old gear today, trust me.
	It's taken a while.
	And I'm doing this for the show.
	I'm doing this for the show, not for me personally.
	To protect the show, so we can still produce it.
	To protect the show from obsolescence.
	I don't trust Apple anymore.
	I really don't.
	It's not that I trust Microsoft that much more, but their stuff seems to be working better.
	Well, that brings me to a clip right off the bat.
	Whoa!
	This was not planned, people.
	No, it's never planned.
	This is the iPhone X problems already.
	Tonight, Apple says it will fix an issue with the new iPhone X after some customers complain that the phone can temporarily freeze up in cold weather with a touchscreen and the keyboard not responding.
	The company says it's already working to correct the issue.
	The fix will likely come in the form of a software update.
	Did you put that thunder in there?
	Yeah, it was thunder.
	Did you?
	Did...
	Did you listen to that carefully because...
	No, not really.
	Because I knew the story already, so I want to listen to it again.
	Tonight, Apple says it will fix an issue with the new iPhone X after some customers complain that the phone can temporarily freeze up in cold weather with a touchscreen and the keyboard not responding.
	The company says it's already working to correct the issue.
	The fix will likely come in the form of a software update.
	Okay, now I listen to it carefully.
	Now, it sounds to me...
	That this is not something that can be fixed with a software update.
	No, I read that Samsung OLED screens had this problem as well, and that was a replacement job, not a software update.
	But, you know, Apple's magic, with a K. Magic.
	They can do anything.
	You never know.
	I do know this is going to be a problem for them.
	This is, again, we're looking at Vista.
	I'm holding back on my punchline.
	It'll take a while, but I've got it lined up when it's ready.
	Okay.
	I don't know.
	It's cold weather.
	The thing won't work in the cold weather.
	I mean, come on.
	That's pretty funny.
	I don't know how that works.
	I don't know how it works.
	They built the thing in California.
	Tested it in Korea.
	I'm still surprised that new iOS 11 comes out.
	All the sheeple.
	Oh, goody.
	New stuff.
	Hey, wait a minute.
	Actual keys don't work like the eye.
	The I doesn't work?
	The I in iPhone?
	Yeah, if you do it, if you type in, well, I think they fixed it by now, they have a patch out there.
	If you typed in I, just standalone, as in I did, I say, then it would turn into an A with a box around it with a question mark.
	You didn't hear this?
	This is a funny story.
	It must be the guys who also do our spreadsheets.
	It's obviously a double-bite encoding issue.
	That's very clear.
	Eric Hochul.
	Exactly.
	We had to figure out his name eventually.
	But yeah, no, I run into so many different odd little oddities when moving things over, and the main thing is the studio.
	Oh, man.
	So I have a Thunderbolt audio device.
	Oh, how silly of me.
	A Thunderbolt, I think it's a Thunderbolt 2 device.
	So I have to get a PCI card with a...
	USB-C, and then a cable that takes Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2, and then supposedly that's going to work.
	You should have USB 3 ports on your machine.
	USB-C, not 3, C. Oh, C. Yeah.
	C. So you have these companies that have been always reliant on Apple, like Universal Audio Devices, which you use for the show.
	And, you know, so then they are kind of locked in.
	Yeah, I know you can, you know, there are machines that have, you know, USB-C with Thunderbolt coming right out of it, but not mine.
	Not many.
	Not mine.
	So it's just, anyway, we'll get it done.
	We'll do it live!
	Sounds like a good glitch waiting to happen.
	Oh, maybe.
	It should be a lot more stable.
	It should be a lot more stable.
	And I even had to reboot twice this morning on the Mac.
	The Mac knows it.
	It feels it.
	It feels what's going on.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You're jilting the Mac.
	Screw the Mac.
	Tired of it.
	Yeah, well, this is what apparently Farage said to his girlfriend.
	See that breaking story?
	No.
	In the mirror?
	No.
	Yeah, apparently Farage was a married man.
	Yeah.
	Made very clear in the mirror.
	Yeah.
	Was having a, not a fling, but an affair for 12 years with his aide-de-camp.
	Oops.
	His girl, his assistant.
	But did he sexually harass her is the question.
	Otherwise, he did it all wrong.
	Yeah.
	No, but I think he jilted her eventually or he gave up or something in October of last year.
	So, of course, like any good woman, she said, look at this.
	Here's the love letters he sent me.
	Here's what happened.
	He's a cat.
	I almost committed suicide.
	Oh, no.
	That's horrible.
	This was in the mirror.
	Yeah.
	Who describes her as vulnerable.
	Yeah.
	Did you see, and I believe this may be a hoax, I don't know, the new Newsweek cover?
	No.
	You should bing that real quick.
	Let me bing it.
	Yeah, bing it.
	It's a balloon animal, although it looks like a penis.
	And there's a female hand, apparently, with nail polish, pricking it with a pin.
	There's a cartoon caption, Pop Goes the Weasel.
	Hashtag Me Too is taking down powerful men in all fields.
	Is Donald Trump next?
	Ha ha ha.
	No, Trump next.
	He was a target from the beginning.
	Yeah.
	Well, this Hurricane Harvey story just won't die and it just keeps getting better.
	It really does.
	I can't find this thing.
	I wonder if this looks like a real cover.
	You never know.
	Something they would do.
	Exactly.
	You never know.
	But, I mean, it's spreading.
	The MeToo meme is spreading over to the UK's.
	Not a day goes by without allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct by male celebrities.
	In Europe, the center of sleaze has moved to Britain.
	This past week, one guy hit the headlines big time, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon.
	The worldwide backlash against sexual harassment has claimed another victim, this time in the decidedly stuffy and unsexy world of British politics.
	A far cry from the Hollywood-centered revelations of the past couple of weeks.
	The head to roll is that of the government's Defence Minister, Michael Fallon.
	I realise that in the past it's fallen below the high standards that we require of the armed forces that I have the honour to represent.
	I have reflected now on my position in government and I am therefore resigning as Defence Secretary.
	Fallon was accused of repeatedly touching a secretary's leg in 2002 at a conservative party dinner.
	He's the first high-profile victim in the gathering storm over alleged sexual harassment in British politics, which has built in strength in recent days as several accusations have been made.
	This is almost perfect for them.
	You know, now no one really minds leaving government for, you know, sexually harassing a woman.
	It's all the pedophiles that, you know, thank God, heats off of us.
	That's what it looks like.
	Yeah.
	They're probably spurring it on.
	Well, since we're on the topic already, without doing anything else, let's start with, let's go into different fields, because I have a prediction of what the field, what the next fields is going to be.
	But let's get this one out of the way, which is the sex.
	And this would makes nothing but sense.
	Sex abuse abuse in gymnastics.
	Our Western edition.
	Good evening.
	I'm Anthony Mason.
	First Hollywood, then politics.
	Now there are new allegations involving abuse of some of America's top athletes.
	More than 130 women have accused former U.S. gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar of abusing them.
	Tonight, Ali Ray.
	Raisman, the two-time captain, is coming forward.
	Raisman won six medals in the past two Summer Olympics, three gold.
	She says she spoke to the FBI about Nassar after the 2016 games in Rio.
	Nassar worked with the team for more than 20 years.
	He's now in jail and has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography, but not to charges of sexual assault.
	Raisman shared her story with Dr.
	John LaPook for 60 Minutes.
	You don't want to let yourself believe, you know, I am a victim of sexual abuse.
	It's really not an easy thing to let yourself believe that.
	You're saying you were sexually abused?
	Yes, absolutely.
	By the national team doctor?
	Yes.
	While you were out there representing your country?
	Yes.
	Few athletes have represented their country with as much distinction as Ali Raisman.
	The doctor she says abused her, Larry Nassar, worked with the U.S. Women's National Team and athletes at Michigan State University for more than two decades.
	Raisman says Nassar first treated her eight years ago, when she was 15 years old.
	Now 23, she talks about her experiences in a new book called Fierce.
	It's the story of a girl who dreamed of going to the Olympics and how she managed to get there.
	Raisman says she will not discuss the graphic details of what Nassar did to her, but she does provide new insight into a scandal that goes to the highest level of her sport.
	She told us a lot of people have asked her why Nassar's accusers didn't speak up sooner.
	Why are we looking at why didn't the girls speak up?
	Why not look at what about the culture?
	What did USA Gymnastics do and Larry Nassar do to manipulate these girls so much that they are so afraid to speak up?
	And we really need to categorize some of this stuff.
	I mean, this is child sexual abuse.
	This is different than workplace, which is harassment and is illegal.
	And it's different from trying to get laid.
	I mean, there's a million different versions of this, but it all is kind of being lumped in under one banner.
	This guy is horrible.
	This guy needs to be arrested and put in a sanatorium.
	He's already in jail, but he needs to be...
	Yeah, well, he needs to be treated.
	He's got a head problem.
	So, the whole gymnastics team apparently was sexually abused by this guy.
	One of the other girls described it as part of his routine for the checkup.
	Oh, nice.
	I want to circle around the politics and more.
	I see that you have the clips, but let's do a couple other things.
	Before I do that, I want to throw in my prediction for what's next that has not been touched.
	And it's huge.
	It's huge?
	It's huge.
	Do you want to do some current stuff and then get the prediction?
	No, I'm going to make the prediction right now.
	Go for it.
	Before somebody else beats me to it.
	In the podosphere.
	Another podcast might break it, man.
	Academia.
	Wow.
	Yes.
	Very nice.
	Yeah, and that's going to be groovy.
	There's always academic stuff going on.
	It's going to be groovy.
	It's going to be groovy.
	I can't help it.
	It's going to be groovy.
	Well, we've been looking at...
	Well, there's a number of things.
	Obviously, the president will come under attack.
	And I have some clips to back that up.
	But as we're still looking at the video on demand versus the big mainstream entertainment outlets, on show day, why not?
	On Thursday, we heard from Louis C.K., which really ruined his comedy for me.
	This comedy, you know, it was always pretty funny.
	It had a lot of masturbation jokes in there, and I think guys can see the humor in that.
	But now it's not that funny.
	Now you know that he's really doing all that stuff.
	Here's the New York Times.
	That's one of his things he said.
	He said, hey, I've been talking about this.
	You know, now I was stunned.
	I'm stunned.
	Like, oh, man, you were really doing that.
	The New York Times reported on it, and they did a video which I thought was well worth playing, because they really, really stuck it to him.
	I'm a good father, I recycle, and I masturbate.
	And I'm proud of it.
	And God's happy.
	And later I'm going to masturbate and I'm going to think about you.
	Louis C.K. has built one of the most successful careers in comedy.
	These days my problem is very simple.
	It's trying to find a place in my house where I can masturbate without somebody bothering me.
	And that's getting really difficult.
	With jokes about awkward encounters and sexual hangups.
	I was with one really hot woman once.
	And she got very drunk and slept with me.
	me and the next morning she I remember her looking down at me and she was so horrified and she just looked at me like like I feel like she had felt like she had raped herself with me he often discusses and mimes masturbation in his act and And he kept doing that gesture that guys like to do.
	That's my favorite dumb guy gesture.
	Now five women have told the New York Times that the comedian's riffs about masturbation have a disturbing connection to real life.
	Disturbing.
	The women allege that he either masturbated in front of them, or asked if he could, or did it over the phone.
	Julia Wolof and Dana Min Goodman, a Chicago comedy duo, said that during a 2002 visit to Louis C.K.'s Aspen hotel room, he got completely naked and masturbated in a chair.
	The comedian Rebecca Corey said that while she was appearing with Louis C.K. on a television pilot in 2005, he asked if he could masturbate in front of her.
	She declined.
	I love the music, too.
	That was really a nice touch, New York Times.
	Yeah, he masturbated over the phone.
	And by the way, it was horrendous.
	He asked her and she declined.
	Scandalous!
	Scandalous, I tell you.
	But comedians often, from what I've heard, mainly from you, Comedians really have a weird thing about sex.
	Not all of them.
	They're all perverts.
	I talked to Mimi about this last night, and she said...
	She said comedians are perverts, but she said that...
	And Mimi has standing in this.
	She doesn't get the Louis C.K. story.
	Because what does it take to...
	If the guy comes out naked and starts jerking off, she says, what does it take for you as a woman...
	It's just, what the, what the, what is this?
	Either tell the guy to stop it, or just walk out of the room.
	Right.
	What, are you just stand there and stare like a frozen deer in the headlights?
	Well, see, that's the thing.
	No one really talked about that part of the story.
	It's just, here's what he did, here's what he asked, and, you know, boom!
	Boom, count one.
	You're off the air.
	Yeah, no, you're off the air and your career's, I don't know if his career's totally ruined, but I mean, he's got plenty of money, but it's beside the point.
	It's not like his whole idea was to retire with a bunch of money at this age.
	But yeah, the Louis C.K. store is a bit much.
	That's the one that also convinces Mimi that this is about Netflix.
	Well, I have another Netflix tie-in.
	And this is an interesting one.
	We were looking at, okay, what are the big video on demand hits?
	We named a couple of them.
	And CNN did a town hall called Tipping Point with, what's the woman's name?
	Camerota.
	And had a number of people there.
	Apparently also the woman who invented the Me Too meme, which I didn't know, came from an NGO. And also on the show, she had, what is that guy's name?
	Matt McGorry.
	And Matt McGorry is one of the male leads in Orange is the New Black.
	We've kind of been waiting for that.
	So you can interpret his appearance on this show in two ways.
	Let's listen.
	Welcome back to Tipping Point, a CNN town hall on sexual harassment.
	I'm Alison Camerota.
	Since the Weinstein news broke, more than 24 million people have posted a personal story with the hashtag MeToo.
	That's the campaign created by Tarana Burke, program director for the Brooklyn-based nonprofit Girls for Gender Equity.
	She is joining us now.
	It's so great to have you here.
	Thank you for having me.
	I also want to bring in Matt McCrory.
	He's an actor you might recognize from Orange is the New Black and How to Get Away with Murder.
	He's written about the role that good men need to play during this Me Too moment.
	Welcome to both of you.
	Matt, I want to start with you because I know that this is a confusing and skittish time for men.
	Just yesterday at work, a very nice guy said to me, I know it's dangerous in this climate to say this, but that's a pretty dress you're wearing.
	I mean, has it gotten to the point where men are afraid to compliment women?
	Yes, that's what every HR training tells you to do.
	It's what I thwarted.
	That's exactly what I would say.
	Except I wouldn't disclaim it.
	You never took the course I did.
	I tried to just click through it.
	So I took the course.
	And what you said is absolutely true.
	If you compliment a woman in California, this is a California course.
	If you compliment a woman in the workplace, you are subject to law to suit.
	Yes.
	There's no doubt about that.
	Yeah.
	And that's where, in fact, yes.
	Now listen to this next bit with this actor from Orange is the New Black.
	Afraid to compliment women.
	You know, I think...
	I think as men, we tend to resist engaging in the questions in sort of a deeper way, right?
	So we're approaching this from a point of view where we're going through our own personal experience, which is not remotely close to what women are going through, right?
	So the only way we can really bridge that gap, and I'll speak to the fact that it was only three years ago for me personally that I began to ask these questions of myself and to consider this other perspective.
	So unless we can really close the gap by actually taking a proactive role and sort of educating ourselves about what it's like to be a woman.
	So, when he says, it was only three years ago when I became woke, what happened three years ago, would be my question, Ms.
	Camerota.
	Did he just wake up one day and went, hey, I'm a douchebag.
	I should stop that?
	Or is this a preemptive coming out of sorts to say, hey, I was bad three years ago, but I figured it out and I've changed.
	Yeah, good catch.
	I'm curious to see what that is.
	That's the question you would ask.
	You're right.
	Did she ask it?
	No, please.
	It's always possible.
	CNN. No, no.
	So, it's either a preemptive strike.
	Well, it's probably a preemptive strike either way.
	Netflix sending this guy out.
	Like, hey, let's get some faces out there.
	We're all good.
	Or, oh shit, man.
	You're up next.
	You're on deck, bro.
	With your thing from three years ago.
	Then we had...
	And I really like the Me Too meme.
	It's very important for women.
	Although, it seems like we've got all that gay stuff going on.
	George Takei, who said he was shocked and bewildered at claims that he sexually assaulted a model in 1981.
	And what's interesting about this is this...
	Male model or female model?
	Male, male.
	That's the headline.
	I think you'd be more shocked and bewildered.
	Yeah, that's when we'd be shocked.
	Scott Brunton...
	I think he's in something now.
	Isn't he in that Star Trek Dimension show or something?
	Well, there is one Star Trek guy that's in one of these Star Treks that...
	Went after somebody.
	Spacey, I think, attacked him when he was 14 or something like that.
	I think that's the same guy.
	No, this is a different guy.
	This is a different guy.
	Well, anyway, and he says, I can't remember this.
	What did he literally say?
	If I'm shocked and bewildered, this simply did not occur.
	Now, whenever the president says something like this, You know, we always pull up clips from Howard Stern.
	Ah, look at what he said here!
	We gotcha, sucker!
	Of course, the Howard Stern Show is meant to be a little outrageous, but we might as well have a listen to all-time show favorite, George Takei.
	By the way, I suppose, you know, with this Harvey Weinstein thing in the news, of course, all over the news, that the irony is we have a man in the White House who talked about grabbing pussies.
	There is an irony about all of this, is there not, George?
	Well, it's a repetition, you know, because...
	All your years involved with cock, you never hassled anybody or grabbed their cock.
	You never grabbed anybody by the cock.
	Yeah.
	Did you ever grab anyone by the cock against their will?
	Boy, they're so happy they can say cock on the radio, isn't that...
	Whoa, I'll say cock a lot.
	This is one of the reasons that...
	I mean, it's...
	That's one of the reasons I have with just gratuitous cussing.
	It's like, oh, we can do it, so let's do it.
	Oh, wait until you hear the next clip I have.
	Uh-oh.
	Oh, no.
	Well, they were different times.
	You never sexually harassed any.
	Hey, boner.
	Have you?
	Oh, my goodness.
	You've got such a beautiful cock.
	Oh, dear.
	It's some people that are kind of skittish.
	Right.
	Or maybe...
	You're afraid.
	And you're trying to persuade.
	But, you know...
	Do we need to call the police?
	What is he saying, Howard?
	What are you saying, George?
	In other words, they were taught...
	But you never held a job over someone if they didn't...
	No, no, no, no.
	I never did that.
	Oh, I see.
	That's what this is all about.
	It's about...
	It's not about sex.
	It's about power.
	Right.
	It's about power.
	But you didn't do this grabbing at work.
	Oh, no, no, it wasn't at work.
	Oh, good.
	It was either in my home.
	Oh, okay.
	They came to my home.
	Well, that was an open invitation.
	So what do you mean?
	That's exactly where this guy claimed it happened, by the way.
	At Takei's home.
	He does seem to remember now.
	Some guy who was hesitating to have sex with you, and then you gave him a gentle squeeze on the balls or something?
	More than a gentle...
	So you see...
	That makes Spacey the bad guy.
	Yes, exactly.
	Sounds like the same thing.
	Some sort of a routine.
	But Takei is okay.
	He's funny.
	It's okay if he does it.
	It's a scandalous interview.
	It's a totally good catch.
	I'll give you a clip of the day.
	Oh, well, thank you so much.
	You're too kind, really.
	Thank you.
	Well, we're not done.
	No.
	I'm sure we're not done.
	Here, I'm going to lead you into your more stuff.
	I'm glad you got that.
	Well, before you do that, before you leave me there, I do have my Hollywood pervert update with names more people.
	The dominoes continuing to fall in the world of entertainment.
	The dominoes have fallen!
	Actress Ellen Page writing in a Facebook post that at just 18 years old on the set of X-Men...
	I'm here to help you.
	Director Brett Ratner crudely outed her as gay in front of cast and crew.
	Co-star Anna Paquin backing those claims, tweeting, I was there when that comment was made.
	I stand with you, Ellen Page.
	One, two, three.
	Also today, ER's Anthony Edwards, alleging producer Gary Goddard, began abusing him at just 12 years old, writing, I was molested by Goddard and this went on for years.
	Neither Goddard nor Ratner responded to requests for comment.
	The dominoes really beginning to fall.
	Rebecca Jarvis with us here tonight.
	There's late word involving Louis C.K., another major production company severing ties.
	Rebecca?
	That's right, David.
	FX Networks tonight announcing that they are severing all ties with Louis C.K. following in the footsteps of Netflix and HBO, which have also severed their association.
	HBO has gone so far as to say they will be removing all of his content from their on-demand service.
	That's pretty harsh.
	You can't even look at Louis C.K. anymore.
	And by the way, I found this story to be peculiar because, and I don't want to use the word conflated.
	About the outing.
	What?
	Because it was about an outing.
	Yeah.
	How is that a sexual anything?
	The director outed Ellen Page as gay.
	Because it was not obvious to anybody.
	Because it was not obvious to anybody.
	And how did he do that?
	Did he say, I mean, it depends.
	Hey!
	She's gay!
	I mean, what happened?
	A little more context would be appropriate.
	What's that gay channel you watch all the time?
	They're outing people all the time.
	Gay TV? You know, they move the time of it, and I have not watched that for about six months.
	Well, you should get back on your beat, man.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's good stuff.
	I know, and you're right.
	Maybe they took it off the air.
	I don't know.
	I'll look into it, because you're right.
	That channel will have the best stuff.
	But I found that to be very peculiar, because Ellen Page was outed as gay.
	This is somehow a sexual abuse by this guy Ratner.
	Yeah.
	And this woman comes in on Twitter.
	Oh, I'm with you, Ellen.
	With her for what?
	She's gay.
	So what?
	She's already, she's been gay.
	She said she's gay.
	What difference does it make now?
	She's a member of the gays.
	The gays.
	Well, no.
	The gays.
	She is the gay.
	I want to point out...
	Oh, yes.
	Go ahead.
	Before we go to more, I do want to reiterate the Netflix angle.
	Okay.
	Because there was a slam piece.
	It wasn't a slam piece.
	It was a weird piece about Netflix on NBC about a phishing attack.
	And I want to play this.
	Netflix phishing highlighted on NBC. And I'm only playing this because...
	Why Netflix?
	If you wanted to talk about phishing, you get them from PayPal, probably more than from anyone else.
	You get them from newspaper.
	You get them from everywhere.
	You get these phishing attacks trying to get your password or something.
	Ah, phishing PH. Yes, okay, I got you.
	So, wait a minute.
	Netflix had something?
	Well, let's hear the report.
	Let me understand.
	All right, we're back now with a consumer alert.
	Stop, stop.
	Consumer alert?
	Stop.
	At the very beginning of this clip, I left it on because I found it.
	At the very beginning of this clip, you'll hear the hammering.
	Okay, let's listen.
	All right, we're back now.
	You're right.
	It's exactly what it is.
	And this is, what's his name?
	This is Lester Hold on NBC. And NBC is where Lawrence O'Donnell works.
	Stop the hammering!
	All right, we're back now with a consumer alert.
	A new warning for anyone with a Netflix account.
	Beware of certain emails that ask you to verify your account and provide bank or credit card information.
	They could be part of a so-called phishing scam.
	Cyber thieves pretending to be Netflix and victimizing unsuspecting customers.
	Here's NBC's Tom Costello with more.
	It's a scam targeting 110 million Netflix customers who don't want to lose access to their favorite shows.
	The fake suspension notification email, a phishing scam designed to get you to give up your information, reads, We were unable to validate your billing information.
	Simply click Restart Your Membership to update your details.
	In Kansas, 23-year-old Skylar Steven clicked on the link.
	I gave them my debit card information and then they cleaned me out of $2,000 and they opened up 40-45 bank accounts in my name.
	On its website, Netflix says it may email you account information with a link to our website, but be cautious of fake emails that may link to phishing websites.
	But that's not so easy.
	This real-time map from ThreatCloud shows the world is under constant cyber attack.
	And phishing emails are now far more sophisticated than those emails we've all received If I put a phishing email up against a real email that are developed by some of these advanced adversaries, it is almost impossible to tell which one's the good one and which one's the bad one.
	They've gotten better.
	They've gotten much better.
	Netflix suggests hovering your cursor over web links to see if the address looks legitimate or suspicious.
	The answer is never click on a link in an email and provide information that you wouldn't give to somebody on the street.
	I'm surprised they didn't have the pew-pew sound on the live threat map.
	And by the way, I got one more second half of this clip because something funny was said at the end.
	But they showed this map.
	I don't know where they got this one.
	It wasn't from the group that we normally look at.
	It wasn't Crowdfire?
	No, it was something else.
	Maybe they've updated it.
	I can't remember.
	But they only had like one thing.
	There was nothing going on on this map.
	It was a dud or a stop or something.
	Here's the one.
	At the very end of this thing, I want to play this This is the age-old advice.
	I have to make a comment about this.
	Never click on a link in an email and provide information that you wouldn't give to somebody on the street.
	Age-old advice that never gets old.
	Tom Costello, NBC News, Washington.
	Here comes a peeve.
	How is this age-old advice?
	And as a phrase from the Shays, does that mean pay attention, old people?
	Or what does it really say?
	No, it's been a stitch in time saves night.
	I mean, it's a phrase that's supposed to be age-old.
	But how is age-old something that probably began in the late 90s, 1990s?
	It's not even 20 years old, this whole phenomenon of fishing.
	And, I mean, the web started pretty much in 92, 93, so how is the, at least, or the browser-style web?
	Yes, mosaic, mosaic.
	But it's beside the point.
	Yeah.
	This is not age-old advice.
	I got it.
	It's not.
	This is the way they write these stories.
	Okay.
	Now back to Netflix for a second.
	Yeah.
	One of our producers sent me an announcement from 2013, August 20th.
	Netflix and the Weinstein Company announced multi-year premium pay TV window agreement in the United States.
	Netflix has become the exclusive pay TV home of high quality feature films.
	Of the Weinstein Company.
	Yeah.
	So there's a little more going on.
	There's a much bigger relationship than I was even aware of.
	Oh, I knew that one.
	I didn't know this.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	He's connected to Netflix, too.
	Yeah.
	Even though...
	So they're out to get...
	I mean, I'm...
	Totally.
	Totally.
	I'm in on this theory that Netflix is really the target here.
	Yeah, or any other video.
	But how are they going to hurt Netflix by just making all their producers go someplace else?
	Well, I think it's not just.
	It's video on demand in general.
	So House of Cards, we'll never see it again.
	It was a fun show and over.
	They took it out way late in its life.
	I mean, nobody cares.
	I haven't watched House of Cards for years.
	I watched the first season and part of the second season that was done.
	Me neither, but I think it was successful.
	I think this is a very poor attack.
	I think this is just going to backfire on these idiots.
	Okay, let's get back to the presidential part, where we have CNN's Sally Cohn talking about, I think it was probably about Moore, and there was some other dude on in a try box, and the expected argument came up.
	Let's be clear about something else here, which is the Republican Party already shot itself in the foot by not distancing themselves from Donald Trump when 11 women made similar, adult women at least, but made allegations against him and he himself bragged about sexually assaulted women.
	I wasn't going to bring up William Jefferson Clinton, but I never heard any Democrats.
	Oh, I had a feeling you were.
	Well, no, I wasn't going to go there.
	I was actually going to stay with Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, but since you brought it up, where were the Democrats denouncing him, which shows again the pattern in which you're referring.
	Jack, the difference between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump is that Bill Clinton was impeached.
	So we aired that one as a public.
	And also, he's not currently the president.
	And he's not currently the president.
	Guys, can we go back to Roy Moore?
	Listen, this is fine.
	I'm fine watching this Roy Moore thing go down because with, you know, condolences to the poor state and, of course, the women who he's abused and made suffer.
	We are watching the destruction of the Republican Party before our very eyes.
	They are doing themselves systemic damage for generations.
	And I'm here for it.
	Well, they're really hoping to get Trump.
	you They are, I mean...
	Really, really hoping to get that.
	And is the Republican Party sustaining systemic damage from this?
	Here's a couple of problems with them.
	We're going to talk about Judge Roy Moore, who is a...
	I want to lead into it for you.
	Okay, good.
	Two more.
	Okay.
	I think Matthews...
	But we have to explain who this guy is.
	Yeah, we'll get to him.
	We'll get to him.
	Matthews.
	Is he the one that has the book out that's going everywhere, or is it O'Donnell?
	I get confused.
	I think it's Matthews.
	Yeah, about the 60s.
	Because he lived it, so he could talk about it.
	And he was on Real Time with Bill Maher.
	And, you know, something that is rarely brought up is, you know, we're talking about the horrible Democrats, the horrible Republicans.
	Here's, you know, something about the horrible Democrats, which just kind of like, oh, yeah, well, whatever.
	In light of all these sex scandals lately, what do you say about the Kennedys?
	Bobby and Jack were both doing things.
	I don't think that's the important thing about them.
	Okay, it may not be the important thing, but certainly they did things back then.
	Fill me in.
	Just tell me, and I'll respond to each point.
	Now, he's clearly on the defensive.
	It's like, no, no, no.
	This is only Republicans who do this.
	And Marr lays a one-liner on him, and he retorts, very funny.
	Yeah, be specific.
	What day was that?
	Yeah, here it comes.
	Just tell me, and I'll respond to each point.
	Well, I think Kennedy certainly was fucking a mafia courier.
	Yeah, that was a problem.
	There you go.
	Oh, yeah, it was a problem.
	It doesn't matter.
	Yeah, we'll just move along, people.
	That's really...
	The double standard is showing.
	Quite...
	The double standard is based on perceived hypocrisy.
	Perceived hypocrisy.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	And I think this is what we're going to probably talk about a little bit about Farage later.
	If I get to it, which is his affair.
	But it's that the Democrats...
	Having been both a Democrat and a Republican, now an Independent, I think I can say this.
	The Democrats are the kind of hedonistic party that believes in free law.
	They don't believe in...
	I think if you looked at people in NAMBLA, for example...
	That's the Man-Boy Love Association?
	Yes, NAMBLA. Yeah, I haven't looked at people there for a while, if you don't mind.
	Thanks for the advice.
	There's a...
	I think that there is a...
	The Democrats are...
	Are the ones who keep bringing up the sex revolution.
	They were all in for, you know, they were really happy.
	That was a happy era before AIDS and after the birth control pill.
	That was highlighted by the highest moments in Democrats.
	And the McKinsey report, was that it?
	McKinsey?
	McKinsey, I think.
	McKinsey, yeah.
	Maybe.
	But that actually came much sooner than the sexual revolution, which began with the birth control pill.
	So they point out, because the Republicans are supposed to be the moral...
	I don't believe this to be true, but they're pinned with moral authority.
	We're all better than now.
	After marriage, it's great.
	But the Democrats have fallen into the same kind of trap about this.
	After marriage, it's great.
	Don't have sex with underage girls.
	I want to read something.
	And I don't think you should have sex with underage girls either, but I want to at least put it in some historical context.
	This is from Wikipedia.
	It has a nice opening, because I was looking for the age of consent in Alabama where this Judge Roy Moore comes from, and it's 16.
	Yes.
	But historically, the southern states generally have, I've seen states with 14, I think New Mexico years ago was 13.
	But let's read from the history of the United States so you can get a little idea of how this has evolved.
	And how it's evolved is kind of in a Republican way.
	It's become more puritanical.
	Over time.
	Let me read this.
	I'll read directly from this.
	Over the course of American history, the most commonly observed age of consent was 10.
	In 1880, 37 states had an age of...
	Hold on, John.
	People also died when they were 30.
	So you had to hurry up.
	Well, I don't think the age of death was 30 in 1880.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I mean, maybe in Africa it was, but I don't think that's true.
	And Franklin lived a long life, Jefferson and all the rest of these guys.
	They drank a lot, too.
	They drank so much by comparison to today's alcoholics, it's not even comparable.
	In 1880, 37 states had an age of consent of 10, while 10 states kept an age of consent at 12.
	And Delaware, Joe Biden's state, Maintained its age of consent at 7, having lowered it from 10 in 1871.
	It used to be 10, they lowered it to 7.
	Now, I have a chart here.
	Life expectancy, what year are we talking about?
	18 what?
	1880.
	1880 looks like 39.
	In the United States?
	Not sure.
	I'll keep going.
	I'll find more info.
	I don't believe it was 37 in the United States.
	If you average around the world, perhaps.
	Well, here is why this is from the Atlantic.
	Take it or leave it.
	Oh, life expectancy.
	Wikipedia has a page on this.
	There we go.
	It seems like 40 was pretty much the max.
	Here, 18th century.
	That's all China.
	All right.
	Still.
	Seven.
	Seems a bit on the young side.
	In the late 19th century, something got leaped out here, composed of Christian feminist reform groups.
	They began advocating a raise in the age of consent to 16 with the goal of raising it ultimately to 18, which it is.
	Yes.
	And by 1920, almost all states had raised their age of consent to 16 or 18.
	And this is a Christian feminist reform group.
	And so that's where the current age has come from.
	It doesn't come from this normal old age, what used to be considered, in fact, until only recently, Canada was 14 years.
	And it got jumped up because the parliament was orked about all these.
	Apparently they said something like, they're sick of these perverts from the United States coming into Canada to screw our girls.
	I think it was exactly that language they used too in parliament.
	It might have been.
	By the mid-70s, there was widespread sympathy among homosexual activist groups for lowering the age of consent for all sexual activities, partially due to the disparate ages of consent for same-sex and opposite-sex sexual activity, with many gay publications freely discussing lowering it for boys.
	These tensions and antagonisms continued throughout activist circles until the 80s.
	In the 70s, some groups promoting frontline advocacy against the age of consent were falling into decline.
	A small number of voices continued in the 2000s among self-declared pedophiles on certain websites and chat rooms.
	The two final states legislating their age of consent into the 15 to 18 range were Georgia and Hawaii from 14.
	Raised in 95 and 2001.
	So this guy, and I don't want to condemn people from Alabama, but Judge Moore was, you know, I don't know what was going on in Alabama, but in terms of what was okay to do and not to do.
	So this took place 40 years ago in the 1970s.
	This Judge Roy, who was running for U.S. Senate, was trying to date 14, 15, and 16-year-olds, and I'm not sure what the situation was there, but this information just comes out now, just before the election.
	Everyone is very suspicious.
	I have a quick little PBS hit, 30 seconds, to lead you into your clips.
	The journalist who...
	So, the Post was in Alabama reporting an unrelated story and heard that Roy Moore had pursued young girls when he was first a prosecutor.
	And another reporter and I spent weeks in Alabama chasing these leads.
	and reaching out to a lot of people and when we did reach the women who are quoted in the story today none of them initially were willing to speak on the record they were all very reluctant to share their story publicly and it was only after multiple interviews with them that they decided to come forward So, many weeks she was working on it?
	That's interesting.
	She must have gone right after the Weinstein revelations and thought, ah, there must be something wrong with that guy.
	I find it peculiar that right-wing talkers are all bitching about this, especially Levin, Mark Levin.
	Mark Levin, the great one!
	He is the one who's...
	Brought a very long exposition on how did this happen now?
	These four women that are being cited in the story didn't know each other.
	And how did they find them in the first place?
	Right.
	And it's just a pretty shady, it seems like a very shady story.
	Whether it's true or not, and there's a lot of whether it's true or not, you know, responses to it, including one guy who says, well, you know, they talked about Mary...
	And Joseph got married, and he was an older carpenter, and she was a kid.
	And of course, that's when your average age of death is 35, even though there were some people who lived to be hundreds, apparently, in the Bible.
	But that's just a gratuitous slam.
	The thing is very – all the way this is covered, what bothers me, I don't like this guy more.
	I think he's a douchebag.
	And it comes out that he's a douchebag.
	But what the Democrats are trying to do here is to make him look like a pedophile, which I don't believe is the case.
	I maybe a horned dog and a douchebag And just having seen a little bit of Saturday Night Live from last night, totally trying to make him look like a southern douchebag Republican hick.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the guy does not actually wear a cowboy hat and overalls and boots.
	But that's how they portrayed him.
	This is a smear.
	It's a hit piece.
	And I want to play a few things where I think it's coming from.
	This is...
	Let's start with...
	Let's start with more on...
	When he came on to Hannity, and he kind of...
	He's very poor at defending himself, because he's not defending himself.
	What he's doing is...
	He's kind of admitting to all this, but let's listen to more on Hannity.
	I think this is taken from one of the news shows.
	He does not remember.
	Would it be unusual for you as a 32-year-old guy to have dated a woman as young as 17?
	That would be a 15-year difference, or a girl 18.
	Do you remember dating girls that young at that time?
	Not generally, no.
	If I did, you know, I'm not going to shoot anything, but I don't remember anything like that.
	He added this.
	I don't remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother.
	And more defiant, saying he's not going to drop out of the race.
	Senate Republicans torn, most not calling on Moore to drop out just yet.
	I'm not going to be the judge and jury, but boy, if those allegations are true, there's no way he should run for or serve in the United States Senate.
	A couple of things.
	If I did, it's not something you say when you're denying something.
	No, not really.
	You ask somebody a question, well, no, I didn't do it, but if I did, I wouldn't wear a red shirt, I'd wear a blue shirt.
	And he says he makes this thing, and if I did, I've always asked for permission from the mothers.
	This means he's dating teenagers or girls who are living at home in Alabama back then in the 70s.
	I don't know what the process was to be a gentleman.
	He probably was a Dixiecrat.
	I would assume he was a Democrat at the time, to be honest about it.
	And so there was something going on where the mom gave permission...
	To date these teens, I'm guessing.
	Right.
	And that may have been fine.
	It could have been okay in that particular culture at that particular time, for all we know.
	No one's discussing this with any Alabamans.
	They're just making everyone look like a bunch of douchebags and incest.
	I'm surprised that hasn't come into the picture.
	Oh, you can wait for it.
	It's on the way.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Yeah, incest is knocking.
	Yeah, incest will be here anyway, especially if it involves the South.
	Yeah.
	Everybody in the South is, you know.
	Everyone makes jokes about it.
	You can't get around it.
	Can't help it.
	So let's play another one.
	This is a little insightful.
	This is a CBS report that brings in John Dickerson.
	They're talking about new standards, which I think is interesting.
	More new standards.
	Oh, got it.
	I was looking for CBS. Mitt Romney wrote on Twitter, quote, What do you make of that, John?
	Well, you know, Romney's kind of started to play this voice as the moral voice of the Republican Party, speaking out in moral terms when there's that clash between morals and political success.
	But in this case, he's talking about a new standard.
	In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein stories and other stories about sexual predators, the standards are changing.
	Predators have used lack of absolute proof to escape punishment and have often lashed out at their accusers.
	But now institutions from Hollywood to corporate America, due to the Senate, are learning how to listen to women who are making these accusations.
	And what Romney's essentially doing is he's applying that new standard, saying you don't need absolute proof.
	You can have a certain amount of evidence.
	He's seen the evidence and he says it meets the test.
	So guilty until proven innocent is okay in everything except the court of law and criminal activity.
	A lynch mob mentality.
	Sounds like a plan to me.
	Yeah, this is a...
	Sounds just like that guy.
	The...
	This is what is getting the Republicans into trouble, is this concept to begin with.
	I mean, this Moore guy has to be dealt with in whatever way.
	I think he should be elected and then quit.
	Because it's just an attempt to get a Democrat into a solid Republican position.
	But here's where I think Moore is a douchebag.
	Let's play the Moore sub-clip on family values.
	This is Moore.
	In a statement, she said it's a stunning admission that the GOP is not a party of family values.
	Certainly not in Alabama.
	So this is what they're doing to the Republicans.
	Yeah, you are the family values people.
	No, we know what that means.
	Again, this traces back to the sexual revolution, which the Democrats are kind of ignoring right now because they want to go after you guys, you bad people.
	So here's more making a fool of himself, more the root cause of his problem.
	Hmm.
	He built his political career as a crusader for morality, an arbiter of right and wrong.
	Crime, corruption, immorality, abortion, sodomy, sexual perversion, sweep our land.
	But today, former Judge Roy Moore speaking out against claims that he himself was a sexual predator.
	These allegations are completely false and misleading.
	Well, now that's interesting.
	Hold on a second.
	Because, again, we're miscategorizing.
	So, because he dated...
	It sounds like he dated a 17-year-old with permission from her mom in the 70s.
	Yeah.
	That's what it sounds like.
	Yeah.
	That's not a predator practice, necessarily.
	No, not if he's asking for permission.
	No.
	But, okay.
	No.
	that I think or is hanging himself, which is his previous hang and judge style of everything's bad.
	Right.
	Sexual perversion is sweeping the nation and sodomy, which is a real point of contention in the South and amongst the Democrats in particular.
	Sodomy?
	Sodomy is defined as besides anal intercourse.
	It's also oral sex of any sort is considered sodomy by the laws.
	Yes, correct.
	And there are anti-sodomy laws in Georgia, and maybe there might be, but I'm sure they want them to be there in Alabama.
	These are states that are dominated by two specific religions, the Baptists and the Methodists.
	But you said the Democrats hated too?
	The Democrats hate the sodomy.
	Well, that's interesting.
	They hate the sodomy laws.
	Oh, okay.
	I was going to say.
	And they hate this guy going on and on and preaching about...
	It's perversion and free sex and all the stuff that the Democrats have traditionally been all for.
	And so they see this guy as a hypocrite, which is what they love to find.
	Democrats love to find hypocrites.
	And the hypocrite, they point and point and point and say, he's got to go, he's got to go, he's got to go.
	When in fact it was a Democrat and he wasn't a hypocrite saying all these things, it'd be fine.
	No problem.
	Because he's not a hypocrite.
	You can't elect a hypocrite.
	Let me read you an article here about a recent class taught at Harvard University on Tuesday, in fact.
	It was a workshop.
	I hear something weird.
	It's like I hear some kind of strange echo.
	Stop the hammering!
	Wait, I hear one, two, two, two, one, two.
	I don't know where it's coming from.
	Very odd.
	Anyway, as a part of the Ivy League University Sex Week, which launched Monday and runs, well, I guess it ends today, they had a class titled What What in the Butt?
	Anal 101.
	The presenter leading the workshop passed out gloves and butt plugs to students as she offered instructions on anal sexual techniques.
	What?
	And the good news is, everybody has a butthole.
	It's the great sexual equalizer.
	All humans have a butthole.
	This is what the class was all about.
	At Harvard?
	Yeah.
	I hear some kind of echo, like a speaker's open or something.
	Two, one, oh, no, one, two, two, two.
	You're hearing yourself?
	Maybe I can turn down my sound.
	It could be you, maybe, oddly.
	Two, one, two, maybe.
	No, it sounds like it's here.
	Oh, maybe you got a loop open there somewhere.
	Let me just check and let me see what's going on.
	This is not good.
	You don't hear that?
	No, I don't hear anything.
	Okay.
	Anyway, we'll just continue.
	I'll have to fix it after the show.
	It's just irritating me.
	But anyway, you know, so it's like, you know, you can't have it both ways.
	Apparently, at Harvard, you can.
	Whoa.
	Whoa, sorry.
	I don't even think you meant that joke.
	No, I didn't.
	It just slipped out.
	Slipped out.
	Oh, again.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's talent, everybody.
	It's talent.
	In the morning.
	Oh.
	All right.
	I'll shut up now.
	That's our silliness.
	Yeah.
	So that is outrageous.
	But this is going...
	This is just...
	To me, it's...
	This whole thing is just some sort of a high meta joke.
	And I can't put my fingers on it.
	But everybody's all in on it.
	Including the moral...
	All of a sudden, the Democrats are always...
	Out of the blue, moralists.
	I guess they're not paying attention to this class.
	If they were moralists, they wouldn't put up with something like that.
	But okay...
	Let's play the last clip I have in this series about Moore, the judge.
	This is the...
	Brooks and Shields comes on only once a week now on Fridays on the PBS NewsHour.
	And they must have spent a half an hour talking about this.
	Both from the exact same perspective.
	So it's clearly just all politically motivated.
	That's what it's about.
	Oh, yes.
	It's very politically motivated.
	And he...
	By the way, I wanted to go back to the previous clip where I forgot to mention this.
	He says...
	More says this is not true and it's misleading.
	He keeps saying misleading, which is...
	Well, yeah, I think he's right.
	It's misleading because they're calling him a sexual predator where he dated a 17-year-old.
	He says he dated a 17-year-old with her mother's permission.
	Yes, then the lead is misleading.
	And by the way, why are the Democrats promoting, especially since Hollywood is like one of their...
	Strongholds.
	Why are they promoting this guy who was 30-something and she was 17 and there was a 14-year-old too?
	I guess that's a real problem.
	But the 17 and 16-year-olds.
	Hollywood is a kind of a miss, you know, an arena of people younger marrying older all the time.
	Yes.
	So now how is this a finger-pointing moment?
	I'm living proof of that.
	Yeah, you are.
	You are, kind of.
	You're not the worst case scenario.
	So let's listen.
	So they go on and on, Brooks and Shields.
	They go on for a good half hour about this guy.
	All lamenting, all the Republicans are screwed now.
	They're never going to recover from this.
	And Trump's a bad guy, too.
	So let's just, I only have a piece of this, but I want to get a little taste of it.
	There's more Brooks and Shields.
	You know, I just think, I think this thing is headed very south in a big hurry for the Republicans in a bad way.
	Do you see this as a test somehow for Republicans, David?
	Yeah, I think it's a test for Republicans, especially in this regard.
	This is a predicate for what, if Bob Mueller comes with charges to Donald Trump, he's going to say fake news, fake news, fake news.
	And that's more or less what a lot of people in the Trumpian movement are doing.
	No fact is fact.
	The fact they don't like is just fake news.
	And if the Washington Post, with a very well-sourced story, can't be believed and can be just dismissed as fake news, then everything can be dismissed as fake news.
	And we've lost all sense of reality, basically.
	And so I think, you know, the party, not only to behavior about harassment, has to show some spine, but on the basic respect for truth, if we can't have some basic...
	That's how it ends.
	I faded it out because he just kept talking.
	I thought the effect would be a little better.
	Yeah, it didn't quite work.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	So that's what we've got here.
	The way I see it, it's Alabama's business.
	The Alabama Republican Party has got to deal with it.
	And they put this guy who seems to me to be a real douche in reality.
	But not because he was dating 17-year-olds when he was 30.
	But let's go to a little more meta level.
	I grew up in Europe, where you would belong to a sport club, and I'll say the Netherlands is not 100% typical Europe, but, you know, definitely some...
	Europe in the 70s was, you know, you go to your sports club, and there would be co-ed showers, and it was normal.
	And, you know, the human body was seen as the human body, not necessarily to be sexualized all the time.
	Prostitution in the Netherlands...
	It's not officially been legal, and it's like marijuana is not officially on the books as legal, but the way I grew up and saw that it was a pressure release for very stressed men, and even wives and mothers would agree that, you know, so Jope goes to the, he sees the hooker once a week and he keeps everything calm.
	Not saying that's good or bad.
	I'm just saying that there was a lot of thought about nature.
	And there's no doubt that men in our DNA is this spread your seed thing, which is why all your organs work until you're 100 maybe.
	I don't know if you're lucky.
	And women, it ends in their 50s.
	And along with often, not always, but often sexual drive, a whole bunch of things happen.
	Then we have this very odd puritanical vibe in the United States, which only having grown up outside of it do you really see that everything, everything is over-sexualized.
	Sex is around us all the time, mainly on television, mainly in magazines, mainstream.
	Just pick up anything.
	Everything is airbrushed, sexy, hot.
	Every message is you won't get laid if you don't drink this beer, buy this truck.
	All of that is continuously pounding on us.
	We can't talk about it.
	We can't do it.
	We can't sodomize.
	On the other hand, we are the porn industry.
	Although I'll give the Germans the golden shower stuff belongs to the Germans.
	But really, America has the best porn.
	We invented the best porn on the internet.
	Yeah, we can't watch it.
	You can't talk about it.
	Guys are going crazy.
	They have no outlet.
	I think that we're under attack.
	And I'm not saying that that is okay, what the result is of that.
	But that also needs to be looked at.
	Yeah.
	There's no other...
	Well, actually, look at Japan.
	Japan also has all kinds of sexual issues.
	And they completely over-sexualize children all the time.
	No one really talks about that.
	Actually, the over-sexualized children, which you witnessed when you were over there.
	I see it on Mastodon every single day.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	Very strange.
	But our culture, particularly here in America, and I think the United Kingdom has similar issues.
	They're all very, very, very, you know, oh, let's do all this stuff sneaky.
	Oh, I have to do it all sneaky.
	But, you know, in the meantime, they're also over-sexualized there.
	But there's something in particular about America, and it goes back to, I guess, our religious roots.
	Where does the term puritanical come from?
	From the Puritans, the first group in the 1600s that came over on some of those ships.
	There you go.
	Those assholes ruined it.
	in the freezing cold northwest.
	Northeast.
	When I say northwest, sorry.
	Northeast, freezing cold colonies.
	And, well, then here we come back to this, which is this, because we have the, and I want to say the Democrats are the big hypocrites here.
	It just seems to me that they're pointing all this stuff out as though it's bad when they think it's good.
	Yeah, well, they're only, yes, exactly.
	And they're only doing that for political reasons.
	Yeah, so they can get their guy in.
	And they're keeping this thing boiling as best they can, so by the time 2018 rolls around, they hope to God, and they have good signals from the last little election that took place a week or two ago.
	In Virginia, already blue state, but okay, they didn't lose, that's a plus.
	So things are going their way, and they knock this guy out of the box.
	I mean, I think the guy could, you know, the guy's going to be under fire and he could lose.
	He would win if he did the following...
	Of course, this is a Corey Dvorak consulting idea.
	Yeah, I mean, you've given it away as usual.
	He said, okay, I'm going to lose.
	They could show me.
	He's not going to quit the election.
	He's going to say, here's what I'm going to do.
	I'm going to continue to run because the Republicans cannot field anybody because it's too late.
	It's right near the end, coincidentally, that they busted me for this.
	But I know that this is bullcrap, but I'm going to run.
	I'm going to get elected, and then I'm going to turn it over to somebody else.
	I'll resign after I'm elected.
	Oh, if he feels that he's not guilty, why would he do that?
	Well, if he's not going to do that, because he feels he's not guilty, so he's not going to do that.
	I'm just saying that would work.
	All right.
	Well, I'm very tired of the politicization of it.
	I think the trying to bring down the video-on-demand guys, Netflix, is very funny to watch.
	I like that a lot.
	I will thoroughly enjoy academia, as you predict, and I think you're probably right.
	And you sent me an email the other day.
	What is going on?
	What does this tell us on a bigger level?
	Which is what I was thinking about.
	And all I can come up with is, particularly in Hollywood, you're making sexy films.
	All the time.
	What do you expect?
	Seriously, what do people expect?
	We want all the sexy movies.
	We want Orange is the New Black, lesbians.
	Wow, yeah!
	Let's sexualize lesbians on TV. Yeah.
	I know.
	It's just the damnedest thing to watch.
	But then, you know, head scratchers like Charlie Sheen now being accused of raping Corey Haim when Corey Haim was 13 on the set of Lucas.
	I mean, whoa.
	Whoa.
	Stranger Things, another Netflix hit.
	Finn Wolfhard condemns gross 27-year-old model who sexualized him.
	Doesn't mean anything.
	What does that mean?
	You can't even be sexualized.
	What does that mean?
	Let's see what he said.
	American model Allie Michael garnered controversy last week by posting an image of Wolfhard on her Instagram with the caption, not to be weird, but hit me up in four years.
	She later apologized, claiming it was never her intention.
	Oh, I see.
	So this kid is one of the kids on Stranger Things.
	And a model posted on Instagram, Ah, you'll be hot.
	I'll talk to you in a couple of years when you're of age.
	Horrible.
	Can't say that.
	No.
	Creepy.
	Can't do it.
	You know, nobody can even be playful, which is what that was.
	Yes, exactly.
	And he should have taken it as a compliment.
	But he didn't because he's a Puritan in Hollywood.
	Is that what we're dealing with now?
	I mean, it just makes zero sense to me.
	Here, let's play this last thing, which is apparently SAG. They don't know what to do beside themselves.
	SAG is the Screen Actors Guild.
	They have a hotline they've opened up.
	The hotline.
	Now, the union says there's been a 500% increase in calls to their hotline since the scandal first broke last month.
	But so far, Anthony, police have not sent any cases to the district attorney.
	Carter Evans in Hollywood.
	Thanks, Carter.
	Hey, here's another one.
	Do you remember Blue Lagoon?
	Brooke Shields?
	Yeah, Brooke Shields.
	How old was she?
	When she did that movie?
	No, I think she was younger than 16, John.
	Maybe.
	And there's a great example of over-sexualization in the movies.
	The Blue Lagoon?
	Well, here's a better one.
	I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was one of the first movies.
	She was 14 years old when she did Blue Lagoon.
	Okay, well let's do the movie that Susan Sarandon, one of her first movies when she was like 14.
	And she bares her breasts.
	Oh no.
	In this movie.
	Not a boob!
	Oh no!
	That should be illegal!
	And to top it off, Susan Sarandon, a great notable liberal who maybe voted for Trump, no one's talking about that, because she hated Hillary, She would constantly, because I remember she'd be on talk shows, she got a lot of ink, and she would constantly on talk shows, she'd show up on Carson and she'd always brag about her breasts.
	She'd say, I probably have the best looking breasts in Hollywood.
	Susan Sarandon said this.
	Oh, yeah.
	If you ask her, she'd say that now.
	She probably still claims it.
	She might have nice breasts.
	She washed the pictures of her with no top on, which are around.
	You can find them on the web.
	She's got tremendous breasts.
	They're fantastic.
	On a scale of one to ten.
	They're well balanced.
	One of them's not way up in the air and the other one sags.
	I mean, you don't have any of those issues.
	And I'm just pointing out another thing.
	We would have been fired for even doing this segment.
	Hold on.
	I give you Bernie Sanders.
	There she is.
	There she is crying.
	Yeah, that's her today.
	And there's nothing wrong with that.
	I have no problem with breasts.
	What is wrong?
	I remember the Super Bowl when Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's nipple in an otherwise pretty artful little performance.
	Yeah, I didn't see the big deal.
	Half a million dollar fine.
	Children who might have seen a nipple just years ago attached to their mother.
	They see one on television.
	They're going to be ruined.
	That's my problem with all of this.
	America, get your shit together.
	Seriously.
	If you're going to over-sexualize everything and everybody everywhere, this is what you get.
	Well, Harvey Weinstein is still a creep.
	Massive.
	But that's different.
	People trying to hit on people.
	Again, that brings us right back to the beginning of our little segment, which is a scandalous outing of Ellen Page by a director is somehow a sexual attack of some sort.
	I think that you can use this for publicity, and I think that you should out me, and I'll make a big deal about it.
	You're gay.
	Oh, man, you outed me.
	I can't believe it.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
	Do you have Dame Astrid's note?
	Yes, I do, actually.
	Okay, good.
	I have to look up Spencer's.
	I do have Scarpula.
	We only have three again.
	We're slowing down here as the year ends, and we would hope people that haven't donated and didn't donate during the 10th anniversary would come in with something.
	But we do have Sir Marshall Scapula, who actually was, and make sure he's on the barren list, who actually sent a check through his bank to To the show, and it was probably two or three weeks ago, so I don't even count him as one of the donors for today's show, even though he is.
	Yeah, he's on the list.
	It came in late.
	Yeah, he's on.
	Anyway, I'll read it.
	He has a note.
	He sent in $438.28 from Henderson, Nevada.
	And I've been making this odd-ass $43.28 donation, or I'm making this odd-ass $43.28 43828 donation, which, at double credit, pushes me into club baron.
	I let you be known as Sir Marshall Baron of Henderson, and by being a baron, I command all loyal subjects in my fiefdom to bow down and pay homage to the best podcast in the multiverse.
	Also, fork over a few dollars.
	Producers create new jingles for the multiverse.
	I command it.
	Baron power is clearly going to my head.
	Adam, please add Mosta Chioli.
	I don't know what Mostacioli is.
	Mostacioli?
	M-O-S-T-A-C-C-I-O-L-I. It's like a noodle or something.
	And margaritas to the feast.
	There's nothing like a delicious margarita with a bowl of homemade pasta.
	Okay, Mostacioli?
	Mostacioli.
	Cioli, I think.
	Maybe Mostacioli.
	Mostacioli.
	Cioli and what was the other one?
	Margheritas.
	Margheritas.
	Okay.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	You nailed it again.
	You know what?
	I completely did the segment wrong.
	I opened the segment with a jingle instead of John C. Dvorak.
	Well, the C stands for what?
	Well, I don't know because I didn't do the segment, so I'd have to go back and listen to me not saying it.
	Also, give business karma to my hot wife, Chin Fang, citing acting karma to Tony Farmer and job karma to Mark Ross.
	Also, send Mark a douchebag call out.
	Douchebag!
	I think he needs a cleansing.
	So we need a...
	A dedouching and a jobs karma, it sounds like.
	Multiple karma, including jobs, it sounds like.
	Yeah, jobs.
	Yeah, I think business would be jobs, so we'd give that.
	You've been deduced.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Discombobulated.
	And before you continue, then, let me thank all of our artists, because I forgot that.
	Let me thank all of our artists for their work that they do for our album art.
	And in particular, I want to thank the artists for episode 9 or 8-0.
	Title of that was King Tide.
	This was the, in the event of nuclear attack, call Uber.
	Mike Riley did that for us, and we appreciate that.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com, and in the morning to the troll room as well, of course.
	Noagendastream.com.
	Everyone's always in there when we're live.
	Okay.
	Scott Spencer.
	And I'm looking on the email.
	Yeah, no, Scott.
	I got a thing from Scott.
	Hold on a second.
	I didn't get anything.
	Yeah, he was mad.
	And he was mad at you, which is why it's even more...
	Scott Spencer, $333, mad at me.
	Yeah.
	You got it or not?
	No, I don't have anything.
	He sent it to you, obviously, because he figured I won't read it.
	Well, let me see.
	Maybe, wasn't it...
	Okay, Scott Spencer...
	Hold on.
	Damn.
	I sent that to Eric.
	This is odd.
	Well, now I can't find it, damn it.
	Well, just look in your outbox if you send it to Eric.
	Oh, what an idea.
	Hold on a second.
	Good idea.
	Outbox.
	No.
	Wow.
	Probably sent from a different email client and didn't copy it to the sent box.
	Darn.
	Well, I think we forgot his birthday again.
	Maybe it's...
	No, no.
	That's Scott Morgan.
	Okay.
	Then I don't have a Scott Spencer.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm wrong.
	Scott and Morgan, we forgot his birthday and his lovely wife's birthday.
	So we're going to do it today.
	They should be on the list.
	They're on the list.
	I have no Scott Spencer, sorry.
	You may have sent Morgan's thing to Eric.
	I did too.
	Dame Astrid, Duchess of Japan, to $272.27.
	And she has an email that she sent you can read.
	Yeah, she says, Dear John and Adam.
	It's a Dear John letter.
	After so many 10-year anniversary accolades and the urge to still wanting to express my deepest gratitude to your mental health service, but lacking new expressions to do so, I looked up synonyms of congratulation.
	I found the word congratulations.
	Panegyric?
	Panegyric?
	P-A-N-E-G-Y-R-I-C? Panegyric?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	From the 17th century, from French, panegyric via Latin.
	From Greek, panegyrkos of public assembly, from pan all plus aguris agora assembly.
	I thought this was very fitting for no agenda.
	That's a phrase from the very old Shay's name, Astrid.
	Please keep those words from the Shays coming, Adam.
	I love it when you put on that Dutch accent.
	Dame Astrid, Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea.
	Well, thank you very much, Dame Astrid.
	And when appropriate, I will throw a little Dutch accent out for you.
	Yeah.
	Since she's a Dutchess.
	Since you're a duchess, we might as well do it for you right now.
	And I give you some karma too.
	Great!
	Cool, man.
	You've got karma.
	So that will be all we got.
	Oh, that was it?
	That was it.
	Yeah, you got it.
	All right.
	Well, we do have another show coming up on Thursday.
	I hope you all participate in the Value for Value model.
	We bring you the value.
	You give us whatever you think it was worth at Dvorak.org slash NA. And whatever you learned today, take that and propagate it.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	All right.
	you you you Now, I do have...
	I want to get this one out of the way.
	Because it's like a little game.
	We play these games once in a while.
	We do?
	And we were talking about more.
	So I have a thing.
	This is based on kind of an analysis of more and what a douchebag he is.
	But I'm going to play this two clips here.
	One of them says one and one says two, and this is the finish the sentence.
	This is a new idea.
	I want you to see if you can finish the sentence.
	Oh, okay.
	So it's a two-parter.
	I presume the actual sentence finishing is in clip number two.
	Yes, I would hope so.
	I know how the game works, and we're ready to go.
	Now let's play Finish the Sentence!
	Good morning.
	Even before this report came out, Republican leaders here on Capitol Hill were keeping their distance from Moore, who has suggested that Muslims should not hold higher office and that 9-11 was an inside job.
	Good morning.
	Even before this report came out, Republican leaders here on Capitol Hill were keeping their distance from Moore, who has suggested that Muslims should not hold higher office and that 9-11 may have been God's punishment for America.
	Oh!
	I should have gotten that one, because I remember reading that somewhere.
	That's pretty bad.
	I like the game.
	I like this game.
	I'm gonna be ready for the next one.
	Yeah, and you can tell, you can always see how it's set up.
	It's set up to trick you.
	Wait a minute, I'm already understanding the game.
	We've only played it once.
	Yeah, dynamite.
	Well, speaking of tricking, it's time for that money grab in the sky once again, ladies and gentlemen.
	Every couple of years, we've got to get all of our cronies together.
	We used to work at Department of Homeland Security who now have their own little consulting businesses selling all kinds of high-tech stuff to the U.S. government.
	But first, we have to set it up properly.
	We've got to make sure they look stupid.
	Yes, it's the TSA. We turn next tonight to troubling new findings after an undercover operation at U.S. airports.
	TSA officers failing to detect weapons or explosives most of the time with millions of Americans about to fly for Thanksgiving.
	Here's ABC's David Curley.
	The threat to jetliners by terrorists.
	Because laptop bombs or other weapons remains high.
	It just never ceases to amaze me how they produce that stuff.
	And perfect with that explosion right there.
	It's beautiful.
	By terrorists.
	Boom.
	From laptop bombs or other weapons remains high.
	Boom.
	Which is why the new test results finding vulnerabilities in TSA screening, some say, are alarming.
	Vulnerabilities I think every member at the briefing found disturbing.
	While we saw a man breach airport security in this video this week, these tests looked at checkpoints, smuggling items through.
	While TSA did better than two years ago, it still failed most of the time.
	When we asked if the new failure rate was 80%, a source familiar with the classified report said, you are in the ballpark.
	The source says the inspector general did not use security experts.
	Instead, secretaries, administrative workers were able to sneak high-tech contraband through.
	Now, let's just roll that back for a second.
	Who conducted this test, really?
	It sounds to me like this was a total setup, and all of a sudden we have secretaries trying to smuggle stuff through?
	Really?
	Really?
	Hey, if I had a secretary, a lot of stuff I would ask of my secretary.
	Trying to smuggle a bomb, a fake bomb, a fake gun, or a knife through TSA just to see if they didn't get through isn't something I think would be easy to ask and may not even be legal for them to do that.
	It was very strange, but the kicker's at the end, of course.
	Security experts.
	Instead, secretaries, administrative workers were able to sneak high-tech contraband through.
	While those details remain secret, it could be components for bombs, guns, and other weapons.
	Could be.
	One member had a direct message for the TSA administrator.
	This agency that you run is broken badly.
	David Curley with us live from Reagan National Airport.
	And David, it was both Republicans and Democrats today grilling the TSA chief.
	But Democrats in particular claiming that money is being siphoned away from the TSA, which they say could be used for new technology to close security gaps.
	Every time you buy a plane ticket, David, there is a security fee.
	And a good portion of that is actually going to pay the national debt, not security here at these checkpoints.
	The Democrats say if we spent that money on new high-tech scanners, you could fix some of these security issues.
	Oh, shit.
	Sure we could.
	There it is.
	This is a scam.
	There's actually two elements in there that are kind of distressing.
	The first one, I think, which is more distressing, is the bull crap that they charge this little extra fee that's supposed to be used by TSA. And it's going towards the deficit.
	It's going towards the deficit.
	This has happened in California.
	I didn't do this.
	I don't have a clip of it, but I was going to do it before.
	In California, they've raised the gasoline tax by 12 cents.
	Again, what are you guys paying a gallon now?
	$40.
	And that's for unleaded, huh?
	Yeah.
	They raised it to 12.
	Now, and the reason was because our roads are falling apart.
	We had potholes everywhere.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, the Nimitz is like unbelievable.
	It's unbelievable.
	There's supposedly already these little fees and taxes that have been added to the gas tax years ago, and then added more years ago, and then more, and then more, and then more, all to fix the roads, and all of that money has been stolen for other things.
	So they've got to add another 12 cents, and that's supposed to fix the roads, and they'll steal that too.
	This is out of control.
	This is not something only California does.
	So Dutch Prime Minister Wim Kok, he famously said, okay people, we're going to add 25 cents a liter, and that's a quarter, so that's called the Kvartje van Kok, Kok's Quarter.
	That was a great show title.
	And he said, you know, we're going to keep that on for a year or two, we need the money, and then we'll take it off.
	Now, do you think that ever got removed?
	No.
	They never take it off.
	Never, never.
	This has never happened in the history of the world.
	I'm reminded of, I have copies of the newspapers from this era in my archives from the 1930s of the Golden Gate Bridge.
	The Golden Gate Bridge was being built and they promised they would have a small amount of small fee to use the bridge and that would be taken away.
	The bridge would be free forever.
	Sure.
	They said the same exact thing with the San Francisco Oakland Bridge.
	They said it'll be free forever.
	It'll be charged a little bit right away, and then it'll be free forever.
	And it's the first charge, I think, was a dime or something along those lines.
	Maybe a quarter.
	I don't think it was that much, but it could have been a quarter.
	Now it's $5.
	It's $6 in rush hour.
	How do you go from a quarter to it's going to be free forever to $6?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure the San Franciscans are up in arms about it, too.
	They don't give a crap if they're even not living in a tent.
	Exactly.
	Thanks for that picture in the newsletter.
	Was that the San Francisco Bridge?
	No, the tent city?
	Yeah.
	No, that was under the freeway at the entrance to 80 going across the bridge, but that was at 6th and Harrison, I think.
	Right, where I used to have my apartment.
	Oh no, your apartment was up further over.
	Not much.
	No, not much.
	It's close.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I don't remember that.
	But yeah, there's a tent city there.
	There's a huge tent city in Oakland where Emeryville goes to the freeway.
	Maybe it's in Emeryville.
	There's a monster tent city, last time I looked, under Gilman, under the Gilman overpass in Berkeley.
	And the tent city is on both sides of the street under the overpass.
	And it's so big that it's spilled off into the Brushes and kind of the areas, the weeds.
	And when you say big, I mean, are we talking 50 tents, 100 tents, hundreds of tents?
	No, 50, 50 plus.
	There's maybe a 110 encampment over, they're trying to bust it up, but there's been lawsuits to keep them from busting it up over by the bark tracks in Berkeley.
	Remember when that really started and everyone started calling it Obamaland?
	Wasn't that in Obamaland?
	Hooverville was the original, yeah.
	We've had this problem ever since.
	They don't do anything.
	They can't really deal with it.
	They don't know what to do.
	They can't spend the money.
	They won't spend the money.
	They Well, I always like seeing the brand new Salesforce Tower, you know, the shining, the aluminum penis, the phallic symbol of San Francisco, you know, towering above the entire skyline, looking down on the saps in the tents.
	It's just fabulous.
	Yes, the saps in the tents.
	Good going, Jerry Brown.
	And the poop stuff continues.
	I didn't get to it on the last show.
	There was a big Metallica concert in San Diego.
	People went to go see Metallica.
	What did they come home with?
	Hepatitis A. Oh, yeah.
	I think people should scoop up this poop and throw it at the government people.
	Oh, new story.
	Richard Dreyfuss accused of exposing himself to women.
	Richard Dreyfuss?
	That's funny because his son, isn't his son one that came out against Spacey?
	Yes!
	Man.
	This is really...
	Hollywood is eating itself.
	Well, the exposing themselves to women, the flasher, is different.
	We have not seen that part of it yet.
	What is that?
	What is that?
	Just help me.
	What is that?
	I don't know.
	I mean, we have all kinds of people in our production audience.
	There's got to be someone who can tell me where this comes from.
	Flashers?
	Yeah.
	I don't get flashers either.
	Because for one thing, flashers are different than Louis C.K. or any of these other guys.
	Flashers are always flaccid.
	Yeah.
	And they're just showing, they're just hanging out.
	They just say, look at this.
	For some reason, they have to do that.
	When I was growing up, when I was a kid, in the Netherlands, those people were mocked.
	They were called pencil salesmen.
	There's a phrase from the show.
	But Hollywood has a number, I'm guessing, has a lot of flashers along with everything else that they have, all these other characters.
	And that part, the flashers have not yet been targeted.
	They've got to go.
	They've got to be targeted.
	So Dreyfus is the first salvo.
	Because of that, I didn't know this, by the way.
	Because of that, I think a bunch of other guys will show up, including, I know of a couple personally.
	Not that they've ever flashed me, but women have told me.
	I'm not going to out them.
	They can out themselves, which they apparently do quite often.
	Yes, yes.
	Wow, that's a good one.
	Mm-hmm.
	All right.
	Yeah, this is going to ruin the show, by the way.
	You know that?
	What?
	All this sexual...
	Why is that going to ruin the show?
	Because it's so funny, and I think it's going to distract us from doing really good deconstructions.
	Oh, we'll have some deconstruction.
	Well, let me do this first.
	Donna Brazile was on Bill Maher, just since I happened to catch a couple clips from it.
	Yeah.
	Saying something is one of your most hated phrases.
	So be prepared as I bring it up for you.
	But first up, she's the former Democratic National Committee chair whose new book is Hacks!
	The inside story of the break-ins and breakdowns that put Donald Trump in the White House.
	Donna Brazile!
	Woo!
	Yeah!
	Hey, you.
	Hey, Donna.
	You motherfucker.
	You motherfucker.
	Yeah!
	All right.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	I'm so glad you feel free enough here on HBO to call me that.
	I just called him a bad motherfucker.
	I've been waiting to use that word on television for, what, 15 years?
	Absolutely.
	You are one bad guy, too.
	I mean...
	Yeah, that's your favorite phrase, John.
	You hate that.
	Well...
	You do.
	I do.
	I think it's rude.
	And why does she feel that that's appropriate?
	I don't know.
	She's gone off the deep end.
	Well, she got called back.
	That's what happened.
	You need to shut up, Donna Brazil.
	I watched her Tucker interview.
	It was totally disappointing.
	She walks everything back.
	Yeah, well, she was told to, obviously.
	All right, let's go with...
	Just a couple of things I ran into that...
	Aren't being played up much, but when you hear stories like this one, this is the clip that says roads must go.
	When you hear these stories, you begin to think that this is not just isolated incidents.
	This is part of a global movement that is coordinated by some NGO or someone.
	There's someone behind this because it's The connections between South Africa and Charleston, South Carolina, there is none.
	No, nothing obvious.
	South Africa, in recent weeks, protests have once again erupted on campuses across the country.
	The demonstrations, known as Fees Must Fall, aimed at reducing tuition costs, stem from the painful history of apartheid.
	And just as in the disputes here over Confederate monuments, the symbols of South Africa's past are being fought over today.
	Jeffrey Brown was recently in South Africa for his ongoing series, Culture at Risk.
	High above Cape Town at the southern tip of Africa, a stately memorial to Cecil John Rhodes, the British-born 19th century diamond magnate and colonial conqueror.
	But notice the bust of Rhodes.
	His nose has been hacked off.
	It was on the nearby campus of the prestigious University of Cape Town with a historically white-majority student body.
	The protest over another prominent statue of Rhodes set off a national debate in South Africa two years ago, when student activists started what became known as the Rhodes Must Fall movement.
	The Rhodes Monument is a practical symbol of the oppression of black people.
	At the end of the day, we are saying, we are not happy to just be at the university.
	Why?
	You know, I don't know if there's a single entity behind this.
	What we're talking about here is statues coming down that have history that people don't like.
	Right.
	And Rhodes, is that from the Rhodes Scholar?
	Yeah, curiously.
	That's very curious indeed.
	This is the internet.
	This is a global thing that is unstoppable.
	Well, it's got to go.
	What do you mean, Scott?
	It's not going to go.
	The internet must go.
	Well, yes, the internet is a big problem.
	And they're really trying to legislate it.
	Because, yes, the internet must go.
	This is not helpful at all to the globalists.
	Nothing is working.
	Nothing is working.
	There's a couple of things that are banned.
	We're starting to ban stuff.
	You can watch certain Netflix shows in Canada.
	You can't watch them in the United States.
	Anyone with their right mind.
	Anybody out there who doesn't have a VPN to go around all this stuff is making a mistake.
	Which brings us to a pet peeve that you were moaning and groaning about at the beginning of the show.
	I do want to get it out of the way.
	Which is your comments about You're being forcefully upgraded on Skype and then the websites that keep hounding you.
	Oh, no.
	Okay.
	We talked about it before we started the show.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so we're always hounded.
	Well, it actually ties into a clip as well.
	We're continuously hounded to do certain things all the time.
	When it comes to technology, upgrade this, update your app.
	And iOS, Apple, it's a very interesting system, although tiring.
	It keeps asking you to upgrade your phone, and I know you don't have one, John, but it asks you this, and then you have to...
	It kind of takes you down this path of just put your finger on the hole...
	And we'll start the update.
	But if you don't want to, you can hit cancel.
	It's like way down below, and then you have to enter your passcode.
	It doesn't work with your finger ID. So they're really trying to get you to upgrade, which I just don't want to do because, well, for obvious reasons, all these bugs.
	It's always the same, certainly with Apple, but with most software updates.
	But then, all of a sudden, an app has to be updated.
	This app won't work unless you update it.
	Then you update the app, and then it says, we won't work unless you have iOS 11, which is where I stopped using the app in whatever service.
	But now, and I see this particular...
	I thought it was...
	Really just a Windows thing, but I'm seeing it on the Mac, too.
	Really, any browser, anytime.
	Websites that pop up a little dialogue that says, we'd like to send you alerts!
	And you say, no, block.
	In Chrome, it's block.
	Say block.
	But does that block it?
	No.
	Inevitably, you come back a couple days later, and it asks you again.
	I do not like this.
	Well, there's another one that keeps cropping up, which is the one that wants to follow you.
	We want to know where you are.
	Don't you think it would be great if we knew your location?
	Your location.
	There's a lot of that.
	Yeah, I get that too.
	This is these browser standards.
	They really wreck the experience.
	And now, you know, go to any of our websites.
	Your website, my website's dangerous.
	Oh, it's not HTTPS. Ooh, it's dangerous.
	And I don't know if you've noticed this or if anybody else has noticed this or it's just me.
	And I keep my machine, my main machine, not this one.
	This one here is pretty...
	It's just pretty much used for this show.
	My main machine is...
	I've got all the anti-spyware stuff running.
	I've got multiple virus hunters and all the rest of it.
	They spot bad websites and do a lot of work to clean up crazy crap that's added to the browsers, which is the hardest thing to get rid of.
	Yeah, MediaPlex.
	But you can get rid of them.
	I keep the machine as pristine as I can, but...
	Almost, ever since this HTTPS thing, every website I go to, when I go to, I have about a five-second delay.
	Yeah.
	Negotiation.
	I'm waiting for this thing to click in at PayPal.
	I go to PayPal.com.
	I got it.
	The thing, I hit the button.
	Five seconds.
	Good fight.
	That's not doing anything.
	The old page stays there.
	Then all of a sudden, it clicks in.
	Bang!
	You think that's the HTTPS thing?
	I don't think so Look, everyone who's a technologist in our audience says, but this is a good thing because, you know, someone could hijack.
	I get it.
	I'm not against it.
	I think it should be backwards compatible.
	I see no reason for me to install it.
	And it's not, yeah, it was really easy.
	Let's encrypt.org.
	Yeah, sure.
	I got other things to do with my life than manage HTTPS on things that really absolutely don't need that kind of security.
	And the only reason it's being done is Google doesn't want Verizon hijacking their stream to your web browser so they can serve the ads.
	That's what this is about.
	But I hate the warnings.
	That's the part that pisses me off.
	Well, you must really hate this one, which comes up all the time, which is the dumbest one.
	You're on some site, almost all government sites are this way.
	And it says, here's a bunch of links that you might want to check out.
	And you click on one, it says...
	Stop!
	You're leaving the site!
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Are you sure?
	This page is trying to send you to this page!
	Yeah, that's what clicking on a link is supposed to do.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	The chat rooms are there.
	It's about privacy.
	Yeah, sure.
	No, it's not.
	Google doesn't give a shit about privacy, and they're the ones behind it.
	It's about advertising.
	It's about deep packet replacement.
	Ooh, there you go.
	Packet replacement so they can change the ads that Verizon or I think the main culprit they're thinking of is either Verizon or T-Mobile or anybody because everyone's jacking around with ads.
	There's a website.
	I'll put it in the show notes.
	I forget what it's called.
	It's like a Russian thing.
	Wallach Web or something.
	And you can just type in an address, and it'll come back and tell you how many trackers and how many different pages that one webpage is actually calling up.
	And it's hundreds!
	Hundreds!
	There used to be a...
	It's not an ad blocker, but some sort of a product that did that on every page.
	And when you loaded a page, I can't remember the name of this thing.
	I had to take it off because it was annoying because it would load a page and it would say, here's the trackers that are on this page.
	And it would have a it would it would be it was open.
	It would be a drop down.
	It would drop down to China.
	It was just like a hundred of these things that this and that and this and that they're all doing this.
	And this one's putting cookies on you.
	And this is doing it's horrible.
	Thank you.
	Horrible.
	It's horrible.
	I'm telling you, this whole internet thing is a disaster.
	It is.
	It is.
	Well, it's only going to get worse.
	First, I've got two clips here.
	The first one is Sean Parker.
	You may have seen this.
	This kind of made the rounds.
	I thought it was very interesting.
	He arguably is a co-founder of Facebook.
	I don't think he really had much to do with the technology of it.
	And he kind of unloaded...
	He's mostly famous for Napster.
	Correct.
	You know, if the...
	Thought process that went into building these applications, Facebook being the first of them to really understand it, that thought process was all about how do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible.
	And that means that we need to sort of give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or whatever.
	And that's going to get you to contribute more content, and that's going to get you more likes and comments.
	It's a social validation feedback loop.
	It's exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with because you're exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology.
	And I think that the inventors...
	Creators, you know, it's me, it's Mark, it's the, you know, Kevin Systrom at Instagram, it's all of these people, understood this consciously, and we did it anyway.
	Bullshit!
	I'm not buying this.
	I'm not buying this at all.
	Facebag was started to spy on chicks.
	That's what Zuckerberg himself has even said that.
	Yeah.
	I don't think he...
	Because he has a low social quotient.
	Yeah.
	And he wanted to get a date.
	Yeah.
	And it was kind of cool to do.
	It was very, very...
	Something that I remember a group of us guys doing it like in the sixth or seventh grade.
	We had done a...
	We had access to the copying systems of the mimeograph and ditto machines.
	Ooh, I love me the smell of a ditto.
	Everyone loves the smell of a ditto.
	And it was ethyl, methyl alcohol.
	Oh, yeah.
	I want to go to school again.
	We would post, it was like in the 6th or 7th grade, we'd post a top 10 girls on a list.
	And then we'd post it, we'd surreptitiously post it all over the school.
	It was a huge scandal.
	Dvorak's list, I think it was called, wasn't it?
	No, it wasn't.
	It had nothing to do with it.
	And...
	But this is the kind of thing you would...
	This is the kind of low-end kid.
	This is like an immature boy.
	Uh, thing to do.
	Yeah.
	And that's what I, that's how Facebook developed.
	I, I concur.
	And, you know, to say this now, I don't know what Parker's up to.
	Uh, but, but for sure now people realize how it works.
	I mean, we do it subconsciously, you know, feel like, what is the bell about?
	I don't know.
	We just started doing it, but I think it works.
	People, oh shoot, that just said something important.
	You know, so that's more Pavlovian thing.
	And for sure, Instagram holds back notifications to give you a whole rush, a dopamine rush by giving you, you know, eight at a time instead of staggered.
	But that's kind of the old stuff now.
	And I brought this up a few weeks ago.
	The big web summit in Europe, I believe.
	Is it in Paris?
	The big web summit?
	It was the one with all those douches were going.
	I don't know if they even do that thing in Paris anymore.
	That's usually over...
	I'm sorry, Lisbon.
	What am I thinking?
	Lisbon.
	Yes, Lisbon.
	So that's taking place...
	I guess it was over the...
	Maybe it's still running.
	Maybe it started this week.
	No, it just ended.
	Six to nine.
	The largest tech conference in the world, 60,000 attendees, 1,200 speakers, 68% to senior management, 2,600 journos, 170 plus countries.
	Yes, remember this was all those people we were talking about who were invited, not including us?
	Yeah, well, we're not going to get invited to anything.
	Well, it was all about, well, you know, let's play a little game.
	What was the topic about?
	What was the big conversation at the Web Summit?
	Uh, tits?
	No.
	I hate that word.
	No!
	AI! AI! Who else hates that word?
	Machine learning!
	And now we have a new one.
	Of course.
	The new one, well, the new one, I'll talk about that in a minute, but it was AI, machine learning.
	Here's a little report.
	We simply need to be aware of the dangers.
	A warning from Professor Stephen Hawking for the world's leading tech experts that the emergence of artificial intelligence could be the worst event in the history of our civilization.
	We need to take learning beyond a theoretical discussion of how AI should be and take action to make sure we plan for how it can be.
	Hawkin is concerned that tech could lead to powerful autonomous weapons and be used to oppress people.
	The scientist behind Sophia the Robot, Ben Gurchell, is building a marketplace in the cloud where AI developers can share their work and ideas.
	Now, this is great.
	This is perfect, a perfect coverage of this conference.
	You always have one guy who's kind of the, oh, the alternative visionary, and this guy has a wacky hat on, and he's like, oh, yeah, we've got to look at this differently.
	It's natural to be afraid of the unknown, and we are entering a new domain, and none of us can predict exactly what's going to happen.
	So we need to move AI away a little bit from being owned only by huge companies and major governments, and have it developed in more of a decentralized way.
	Gertrude is concerned that if AI is concentrated...
	Well, that's a typical web guy, you know, like, well, we should do it like open source and everybody should have access to the same stuff and decentralize, man.
	Centralized wave.
	Gurchill is concerned that if AI is concentrated in the hands of a few, they'll use it to pursue their own agenda.
	Elon Musk thinks this man will save the world.
	Physicist Max Tegmark.
	He's researching the existential risks facing humanity when it comes to artificial intelligence.
	And rather than an outright robot uprising, he worries that bit by bit machines are outsmarting us.
	Why are we humans more powerful on this planet than tigers?
	It's not because we have sharper claws or bigger muscles.
	It's because we're smarter.
	And if we create machines that are smarter than us, then it's perfectly plausible either that those machines can get power over us or that people can use those machines to do things that we don't want them to do.
	Alright.
	Like what?
	Well, let me just say, this is bullshit.
	It is a scam.
	In fact, to me, AI is OZ. Because that's all you're going to get.
	You're going to get something that looks like it's artificial intelligence, but it'll be just like the Wizard of Oz.
	You're going to have a little guy behind the scene pulling the levers.
	There's no evidence of any real AI that does anything useful.
	There's just no evidence of it.
	I wrote a column in PC Magazine.
	People should look this up.
	About AI. And the fact that it's a...
	I think it was 30?
	No, you said, fix my email and I'll believe it.
	Was that your payoff, I think?
	Well, there's that.
	But no, it was a 30-year cycle.
	It began in the 50s.
	And then it happened again in the 80s.
	And now it's happening again.
	We've had the first cycle began in the 50s.
	And I documented it.
	And then it did the same thing as a big...
	Oh, but thinking machines are all going to die.
	Robots.
	And so then in the 80s, we had this fifth-generation project and all this other crap.
	I was at InfoWorld at the time.
	I was the editor there, and I watched this thing start and end.
	Same thing.
	We're all going to die.
	The Japanese are going to—this had the Japanese element because they were kicking our ass.
	And the Japanese are going to own the place, and they're going to have AI, and they're going to have robots, and they're all going to die.
	And now, 30 years later, we get the same thing.
	I just think it's just a stupid cycle that, you know, it's a fail, which you just said.
	The whole idea is weak and it can't be done.
	It can't be done, or if it can't be done, it's not going to be done in this cycle.
	And it just comes, and then a bunch of money gets thrown away, a bunch of money gets wasted, and the next thing you know, it's dead.
	And then it starts up again in 30 years from now.
	There's a lot of really smart people who I know who really think that this is happening, and it's just not.
	And we have a new term now.
	It's not just AI and machine learning.
	Now it's deep learning.
	Oh, please.
	Oh, please.
	Deep learning.
	What is deep?
	It's like a deep massage.
	I don't know.
	I think it comes from deep state.
	Hey, the new word, man, is deep state.
	Hey, let's do a magazine called Deep.
	Here, deep learning.
	Let's see if there's a definition.
	Here, deep learning.net.
	Okay, I'm sure these are the experts.
	Let's see.
	Welcome to Deep Learning.
	Deep Learning is a new area of machine learning research which has been introduced with the objective of moving machine learning closer to one of its original goals, artificial intelligence.
	Oh, God.
	It's not there.
	Does anyone who believes this have an Alexa or whatever the other talking tubes are?
	These things are not smart.
	And I think Amazon is pretty tech-savvy.
	There's no intelligence in this.
	Zero.
	Not even the simplest things.
	Like, you already have that on your shopping list, Adam.
	I don't need to add bread again.
	No, it adds bread twice.
	Void Zero is telling me I'm focused on consumer electronics.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	What should I be focused on?
	It's a lie.
	It's a lie and it's going to be misused with people behind the scenes pulling the levers because that's what it is to date.
	That's what it is.
	AI is OZ. I see it no other way.
	Give me some real examples.
	I should say there's no evidence people even want to use AI. Adam's Peeve of the Day.
	You got the peeve off.
	Yeah, well, it's...
	There's so many things that we can fix in technology.
	How about fixing the potholes on Highway 80?
	There you go.
	John C. DeVore acts at Peeve of the Day.
	All right.
	Let me see.
	Okay, let's go to some other stuff here.
	I want to play this weather report because I think this year is going to be another one of those whopper global warming super winters.
	Oh, so everyone can bitch about it.
	It's already started.
	It sure looked and felt like winter in Chicago today.
	They got about an inch of snow and the low of 18 degrees at O'Hare Airport tied the record set in 1986.
	Brutally cold air is moving east tonight.
	Washington and New York will wake up to temperatures in the 20s.
	The wind will make it feel like the teens and single digits farther north.
	Man, I'm glad we changed from global warming to climate change.
	We would have been pickled now.
	Speaking of such...
	And this is a tie-in.
	Michael Oreskes, that's the NPR news douche who was fired over allegations of actual sexual harassment.
	Actual sexual harassment, like the kid sticking his tongue in women's mouths who wanted to get a job or a better job at his organization.
	At that time, New York Times.
	The frog, yeah.
	Yeah, the frog guy.
	He is the brother...
	Of Naomi Oreskes.
	Does his name ring a bell?
	No.
	It doesn't ring a bell either.
	This is the famous professor behind the book Merchants of Doubt, in which she attacks doubters of catastrophic climate change predictions because they're all paid by big oil.
	In fact, she was among...
	Where's our money?
	Yes, she was among one of the first to promote the 97% consensus BS. And in her book, The End of Western Civilization, she predicts, based on science, there will be a household pet holocaust in 2023 because of global warming.
	Pet holocaust.
	Yeah, that's also a good title.
	A pet holocaust?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they're all going to die.
	From what?
	From the heat.
	It'll be too warm for them.
	But here's the question.
	Was NPR News influenced in any way?
	No.
	They don't need to be.
	They're already on board.
	I would say there's so many conflicts of interest.
	So many.
	The loss of pet cats and dogs garnered particular attention along wealthy Westerners, but that was...
	Oh, so 2023 is when...
	2030 is the year they want to use.
	But yeah.
	Doomed Kittens and Puppies.
	Wow, you're really sinking to the bottom of the barrel when you're talking about doomed kittens and puppies.
	If you have a bill of climate goods to peddle...
	Yeah, this is an anti-article.
	Yeah, but this is in her book.
	The pet holocaust.
	Well, good.
	I'm sick and tired.
	I like dogs.
	It's okay.
	We live in an apartment building.
	People and their dogs are rude.
	Your dogs are always sniffing my crotch.
	I'm okay with it, but...
	What do you mean you're okay with it?
	Unless the dog is crotch high, which most of them are, they have to go up on the rear legs to sniff your crotch.
	You give them a knee to the chest.
	Yes.
	But, you know, the dog is...
	They walk them outside.
	They just let them urinate everywhere against everything.
	It's not like a doggy toilet at the front of our building.
	I'm sick of it.
	Pet hater.
	Yeah, I'm a pet hater.
	Yes.
	In a way, I am.
	You are.
	It's okay.
	It's a free country.
	Not anymore, my friend.
	I don't know where you got that idea from.
	Let's go to this story.
	This is a redo of a story we covered as BS about a year and a half ago.
	This 757 hack.
	Oh, okay.
	There's unsettling news tonight about one of America's most widely used jetliners.
	In a test, experts working with Homeland Security hacked into a 757.
	Transportation correspondent Chris Van Cleve is following this.
	The team of researchers needed only two days in September of 2016 to remotely hack into a Boeing 757 parked at the airport in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
	Speaking at a conference this week, Robert Hickey of the Department of Homeland Security said his team used typical stuff that could get through security and hacked into the aircraft systems using radio frequency communications.
	We are so dependent upon computers to operate everything.
	Mark Rosenker is the former chair of the National Transportation Safety Board.
	We've got a real crisis here, it seems to me, that must be looked at to guarantee that we have the ability to prevent cyber hacking from happening.
	The 757 hasn't been in production since 2004, but the aging workhorse is still being flown by major airlines like United, Delta, and American.
	President Donald Trump's personal jet is a 757.
	So is the plane Vice President Pence often uses, including on his recent trip to Texas.
	The classified DHS testing followed a 2015 incident where a passenger told the FBI he had gained control of a plane's engine by hacking into the airliner's in-flight entertainment system.
	DHS says the recent testing was in an artificial environment and risk reduction measures were already in place.
	Boeing observed the testing and was briefed on its results.
	In a statement, the company says, we firmly believe that the test did not identify any cyber vulnerabilities in the 757 or any other Boeing aircraft.
	An official briefed on the testing said it did not appear that it exposed an extreme vulnerability to airliners.
	Instead, it was something that was done in a very specific manner with a specific approach on an older aircraft with older systems.
	Still, this official said it was good information to have, but, quote, I'm not afraid to fly.
	Yeah, I believe this to be a planted bullcrap story, and I can tell you why.
	And you know why?
	When we discuss these things, we discuss them with Noah Jenka thinking.
	Noah Jenka?
	And so, okay, what's the angle on this for Airbus, the major competitor to Boeing?
	Gee, it's so coincidental this story comes out just as the Dubai Air Show kicks off.
	Come on, people.
	Try a little harder.
	And in a surprise...
	And by the way, if you listen to the report, it's a non-report.
	Boeing said, this guy's got nothing.
	And they said they got nothing.
	They may have hacked into the music system and changed a few songs, as far as I can tell, it's the only thing they got.
	Um...
	So the Dubai Air Show kicks off.
	This is why this was planted.
	But it looks like Boeing is kicking Airbus's ass.
	They got a surprise huge order from the Emirates for the 787.
	And I think they were big Airbus guys, weren't they?
	I think so, yeah.
	The A380, that was kind of what they wanted.
	Right, it was a monster.
	Yeah, now it seems like the 787 is taking over the sales.
	The problem with the A380, I mean, unless they put bowling alleys in the upper deck, there's no real...
	It's too hard to fill.
	There's too many competitors.
	If there's only one airliner in the world, and you had to fly it and only flew to Europe once a month, Yeah, you'd pack that sucker.
	But there's all these flights.
	I mean, you have to fill in A380. That's a double-decker.
	It's unbelievably difficult.
	And they won't make the tickets cheap enough.
	And what network was that?
	Play the beginning again.
	Let me see.
	There's unsettling news tonight about one of America's most widely...
	CBS? Yeah.
	Okay.
	I don't know what tie-in there is, but...
	CIA, I don't know.
	Someone definitely wanted a bad story about Boeing.
	Maybe it was paid.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	All right.
	As a reminder for this segment, we play the West Clark Seven.
	Seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
	That's right.
	We're well on our way.
	It seems that President Trump's boy, Jared Kushner, is doing good work.
	Regional tensions over Lebanon are escalating after Hezbollah's leader says Saudi Arabia has declared war on Lebanon.
	It comes as the leader of the Iran-backed group accused Riyadh of detaining Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri and forcing him to resign.
	A senior politician close to Hariri has told Reuters he was forced to do it and that the Lebanese authorities believe Hariri is being held in Saudi Arabia.
	But Riyadh says Hariri is a free man, and he decided to resign because Hezbollah was calling the shots in his government.
	It also accused Lebanon and Hezbollah of declaring war on the Gulf Arab Kingdom on Monday.
	Hariri's resignation has plunged Lebanon into turmoil, pushing the small Arab country back to the forefront of regional rivalry between the Sunni Muslim monarchy Saudi Arabia and Shiite revolutionary Iran.
	Western countries are looking on with alarm at the rising regional tensions.
	U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned the region against using Lebanon as a vehicle for a larger proxy in the Middle East on Friday and said there was no indication that Harari was being held in Saudi Arabia against his will.
	While France's President Macron has called on Lebanon's President to discuss the developments of the shock resignation.
	Lebanon's Prime Minister has made no public remarks since the announcement in a speech televised from Saudi Arabia last week, saying he feared assassination.
	Hariri's resignation is being widely seen as part of a Saudi attempt to counter Iran as its influence deepens in Syria and Iraq, and as Riyadh and its allies battle Iranian Houthi rebels in Yemen.
	That's the worst.
	Don't ever play her again.
	If I could have gotten a better report, I would have.
	I have a better report right here.
	We'll play this.
	This is from Democracy Now...
	Now, this is from PBS, and I think, no, this has got to be from Democracy Now!
	I said PBS, and we'll see.
	But anyway, play this Y update of Lebanon, which I think has got a better rapport.
	I think it's better, more information is better.
	There are new questions today about Lebanon's prime minister, who announced his resignation this week in a televised address from Saudi Arabia.
	Saad Hariri today denied that he is being held as a prisoner in Riyadh, but the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah He disputed that claim, saying that the Saudis had forced him to resign.
	The group's leader called for Hariri's return.
	Lebanon's prime minister is detained in Saudi Arabia, and it has to release him.
	The Lebanese should work to bring him back to Lebanon, and then it is up to him to go wherever.
	Maybe he wants to go back to Saudi.
	It is his call.
	Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that Hariri should return to Lebanon to make his resignation official.
	He also said that Lebanon should not be used as a venue for the region's proxy conflicts.
	Yeah, yeah, dream on, Rex.
	That's not how it works.
	There's a lot of stuff about Saudi Arabia.
	And I've been following this guy on 4chan called Q. I do want to bring this up because it kind of ties into some of the things we've talked about.
	Other theories regarding Vegas and the Clintons and Clinton Foundation.
	And really, if you look at what happened with this last election, and you're seeing certain people running very, very frantically trying to change things, you know, who got all the money?
	You know, if you just follow that.
	I'm looking at John McCain, too, by the way, as McCain Foundation.
	You get people like Flake resigning.
	You know, there's a lot of Democrats and Republicans in Congress and Senate who take a lot of money from Saudi Arabia.
	And, you know, and the game is over.
	Everyone thought Hillary would win.
	And the power and the connections, everything would continue.
	And it just turned out differently.
	I have a summary of this 4chan.
	It must be me.
	It must be my age.
	It's very hard for me to follow stuff on 4chan.
	I want to mention something before you start reading that, which refers to what you just said.
	If you remember when the election was turning to Trump, And it involved Podesta and some of these other people that were in the Hillary camp saying that if this guy wins, we're all going to be hanging by our necks.
	Yes.
	Remember that?
	Yep.
	Okay, go on.
	Was it Podesta?
	It was in an email, right?
	That was out on WikiLeaks.
	Yeah, I'm not sure if it was Podesta himself, but it was some one of them.
	Okay, so this is really from the hyper pro Trump crowd, so you have to take that into account.
	Hashtag the storm.
	And this guy, Q, this really is a summary.
	And I put links to the whole thing.
	You can read it.
	There's a lot of...
	The way he's dropping information, and I say drop...
	Because he calls it an intel drop.
	It's questions.
	Not really stating anything, but who benefits from this?
	It's questions.
	So, the gist of it is that Trump or someone close to him is posting this under the pseudonym Q. So, this has been going on for months now.
	Okay, here we go.
	Trump was recruited to run for president by military intelligence to unseat the CIA because the CIA was trying to draw the U.S. into a globalist government.
	Mueller, also disgusted by this apparently, is secretly working with the Trump administration to take out all of the people bought by foreign governments in Washington.
	Between 200 and 300 sealed indictments have already been filed in district courts across the U.S. and will soon be unsealed.
	This includes everyone involved in the Uranium One deal, the Iran deal.
	There's a lot of questions about the money that was, you know, remember the money, the big pallets of money that Obama sent over to Iran?
	Yeah.
	It also involved, anyone involved with the Saudis, that's Manafort, Podesta, Hillary, Obama, Corker, McCain, the list is on and on.
	Fusion GPS, who have now struck a deal apparently with the Justice Department, which I think is getting people very nervous.
	So they are not, they're going to talk, they're going to sing.
	According to Q, the Fusion GPS accounts will show most of the M5M reporters were being paid by the Podestas.
	Which I think is an interesting claim.
	Then the Las Vegas shooting, which, as we discussed, was possibly a blown assassination attempt on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman by Prince Al-Walid bin Talal.
	Solomon was staying on the top floor of the Mandalay Bay, which is owned by Four Seasons, but had been spending that day of the shooting at the Tropicana.
	That's where we have the video of someone who looks like him being escorted out with drawn guns.
	So the feds were tipped off of the imminent attempt and evacuated from the Tropicana.
	The hit team was being supplied with guns by Paddock.
	Paddock was a spook, uh, who were in Paddock's room when, uh, Salmon was evacuated.
	So they killed Paddock scattered.
	Two of them stayed behind, shot up the crowd for escape cover.
	Uh, this is of course ties into reported shots fired at other casino locations where the hit squad was trying to take them out.
	Let me see, now there's more about the FBI. Okay, got the sheriff out there to lie about it.
	Okay, the crackdown on corruption and arrest in Saudi Arabia were a revenge move on those responsible for the attempt.
	The recent diplomatic trip to China was to strike a deal with them to back a U.S.-Saudi-Israeli play in the Middle East.
	This is where Lebanon comes in.
	The Saudis and Israel will unite together with our blessing, take over Yemen and Lebanon, and then eventually Iran.
	And I think all we need then is Somalia, and we've got them all.
	And in fact, one hour ago, they lit up the earthquake machine in Iraq, 7.2%.
	I have to find out what region that's in.
	Then what's this MedCure?
	I never got the...
	What is this MedCure thing?
	I don't know anything about MedCure.
	Because I couldn't quite place that.
	Maybe one of our producers can help with that.
	FBI raid on the dead body broker MedCure.
	I don't know what that's about.
	But it does tie back into human trafficking.
	And here's the kicker.
	That the Hillary campaign hired two MS-13 members to kill Seth Rich for stealing the emails.
	Two days later, two MS-13 members were found dead in a hotel parking lot in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
	Um...
	But ultimately, Saudi Arabia is in the middle of all of this.
	And I don't think Q is right.
	I don't think we've figured everything out yet.
	But that there's something going on with the Trump administration, Saudi Arabia, with a plan is very evident to me.
	And all of this stuff, it could be true.
	I mean, it does fit into most of the model.
	And man, the M5M has gone completely silent on Vegas.
	Just nothing.
	There's no reporting on it anymore.
	Who cares?
	Well, the M5M has gone silent on a lot of interesting things that should be reported on, I've noticed.
	I mean, that's why this Judge Moore thing is so good, because it keeps the, you know, the first shootings in, it started with the Vegas thing, they pushed that to the back as they had the truck thing in New York, and then they had some other shootings here and there, and now they got this Moore thing that they can really ride.
	When you see Brooks and Shield talking for a half an hour or more about some judge in Alabama...
	That's a distraction.
	That's a distraction.
	It's a total distraction.
	The thing is a massive distraction.
	We distracted it on our show.
	I had a whole bunch of clips.
	Here's a nice thing that Q was posting about.
	That apparently there's something going on inside our borders with Saudi Arabia.
	And there are people here that are not supposed to be here.
	He's very vague about it.
	But that an attack or some event was supposed to take place on November 3rd, and he would be sending a keyword in one of his tweets.
	I love this part.
	Our president apparently, when he tweets at someone or a certain word, then that's go time for some operation.
	Yeah.
	I suggested this on the show.
	Yeah, well, maybe your cue.
	Who the hell knows?
	Anything's possible.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda.
	Yeah.
	I wish you I'd be writing top screen plays.
	Yes.
	It sounds like a drama to me.
	I'm going to call Pachanek today.
	He called me.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah, he called me about Lebanon and he says we're going to have a deal with North Korea, which I think that's possible.
	I think what Trump is saying, he's making some kind of, he's making weird, just weird comments.
	I have a North Korea clip coming on after this section.
	Good, good, good.
	Jeffrey Young, I want to thank a few people for donating to show 981.
	Jeffrey Young's at the top of the list from Upton, Massachusetts.
	That's 142.33.
	He wants a job karma for myself and a nurse in Massachusetts.
	We'll give him that at the end.
	Jack Swoboda in San Jose, California.
	$111.11.
	Do not read on the show.
	Anonymous in Denver, Colorado.
	$100.
	Mark Milliman in Longmont, Colorado.
	I missed the 10th anniversary.
	He sent a long note.
	I'll read it at some other time, but it was interesting.
	Baron Mark Tanner in Whittier, California.
	By the way, this falls off fast.
	Jennifer Hedrick, 5150.
	I think she said something here, maybe.
	I don't know.
	She said, please wish.
	Oh, yeah.
	I think she's on the list for the happy birthday for Carlos.
	Yes, she is.
	Robert Decanay is $50 and is Fairfax, Virginia.
	I'm going to read this huge list of $50 donors, name and location, starting with Robert, then Brett Yeo in Cantonsville, Maryland, then Jonathan Ferris in Liberal, Kansas, and then Kyle Meyer in Atlanta, Georgia, and that's it.
	There you go.
	That's the whole list of all the people that donated over $50, uh...
	All, let me see.
	Yeah, all 14 of them.
	Well, we always have people under 50, but we can't talk about them because they do that typically for reasons of anonymity.
	Also, a lot of people on our subscriptions, and we do appreciate you continuing to support us that way, and we definitely need some help.
	You can step it up for our next program.
	Thursday, go to Dvorak.org.
	Let me see.
	Relationship karma, jobs karma?
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma.
	And here's your list for today.
	Jennifer Henrich says happy birthday to Carlos Pesina.
	Happy 50th from Jennifer, Autumn, and Calvin.
	Sir Scott Morgan says happy birthday to his wife.
	We are very belated on this one, and apologies.
	She celebrated on October 30th.
	And Sir Scott Morgan himself celebrates today, so we say happy birthday to him.
	And Rayo, happy birthday to his buddy Ron Asierno.
	29 on November 23rd.
	Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday!
	A couple of make goods I see here from Sir Munchnuts.
	He needs a service goat's jobs karma and help from the Noah General listeners in Switzerland.
	If you know of a company looking for a trader or export sales pro, please write him at SirMunchNuts at Homeboy.me.
	Don't use that when you actually send in your solicitation, your CV. It's not a great return email address, I don't think.
	He says, if you don't have a job, just drop me a note and...
	And we can have a drink.
	So he needs a service goat karma, which is the only kind we still do.
	You've got karma.
	And then we have one more.
	Make good.
	Let me see.
	Did you get these?
	No.
	Hmm.
	When it's on the list, I did get them, but I don't have it in front of me.
	Okay, hold on.
	Then this one is from Sean McNamara.
	Oh, he says, John, could you forward this to Adam?
	Well, thanks, John, for forwarding it to me.
	In the morning, gents, the amount of $500 is for my Insta night, and the remaining O2 can be added to the penny jar.
	I didn't have the jar handy, but here we go.
	We'll put that into the jar.
	Good.
	One more.
	I need a de-douching and would like to call out Kevin Olson as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	He's my former boss who hit me in the mouth almost a year ago.
	He's listened for as long as I've known him and still hasn't donated.
	I think I speak for all the slaves when I say I look forward to every episode.
	The only thing that could make beer drinking while watching pods of orcas on an Alaskan cruise with my smoking hot wife any better is the best podcast in the universe.
	I was trying to find a clever title that was a play on words while looking around.
	I found some that would suit Harvey.
	Circumvent.
	Circumscribe.
	Circumfuse.
	Okay.
	I wonder how many.
	Oh, jeez.
	Alright, he's going to be Sir Sean Lemon, the overnight legend.
	And he has a couple of jingles.
	He needs...
	What do we have here?
	If you're white, you're a racist.
	And a goat scream and the de-douching as you request.
	You've been de-douched.
	If you're white, you're a racist.
	If you're male, you're a pig.
	If you're sissy, you are privileged.
	Skinny, shaming if you're big.
	And if you're straight, you're homophobic.
	Heaven help if you're wrong.
	So don't have an opinion.
	And just to watch your tone.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	I hadn't heard that one in a while.
	I love that song.
	Yeah.
	Rupert Holmes called.
	He wants his song back.
	All right.
	We got a couple of nightings here, John.
	I need your blade.
	Hey.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	Took a while.
	All right.
	Jack Swoboda and Jeff Walso.
	Why don't you both step on up here to the night podium.
	Both of you have contributed to the best podcast in the university amount of $1,000 or more.
	We are very, very thankful for that.
	And I am very proud today to pronounce the KV as Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	So here we go.
	Sir Kut, Knight of the Loop, and Sir Jeff Walso, Knight of Saskatchewan Rivers.
	Gentlemen, for you we have, as always, hookers and blow, Red Boys and Chardonnay.
	We've got, what the hell was that special stuff?
	There we go.
	Mastioli and margaritas.
	There we go.
	Redheads and ryes, beers and blunts, and mutton and mead.
	Oh, it was only two nights I got confused.
	I couldn't get the Mastioli and margaritas.
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	That's where you can give Eric the Show all of your information, and we'll get the ring out to you as soon as possible.
	I also want to congratulate the Aufwachen podcast on their 250th episode.
	Now, this is Tilo.
	We like his stuff.
	Yeah, so it's probably one of the better podcasts in Germany.
	It's probably the best in Germany.
	So he had a request.
	He says, happy belated 10th anniversary from Berlin.
	I hope you're all up for a Skype interview someday, but that's not why I'm emailing you.
	The 250th episode of our Aufwachen podcast, which shares a lot of German listeners with no agendas, is coming up this Tuesday.
	Since we frequently push no N.A. and talk about your deconstructions, I wanted to ask you to send me a short congrats to your guys, 250th episode audio or something like that.
	Feel free, whatever.
	It would be an awesome surprise for my co-host Stefan, who adores you.
	So I think we should do something together.
	That's a good idea.
	So I'll kick it off.
	Alright?
	Okay.

	Sir Marshall Scarpula becomes Baron of Henderson, Nevada.
	And we are very proud to add him to our peerage list, itm.am slash peerage.
	Have a look at that as it's being upgraded as we speak.
	And congratulations, Baron of Henderson, Nevada, and thank you very much for your courage in supporting the show.
	Dvorak.org slash ma.
	Alrighty.
	Let me see.
	We had, uh...
	Well, we had, uh...
	Poland?
	Poland up in arms?
	Independence Day was celebrated across Poland on Saturday.
	Representatives of the Supreme Authorities of Poland, with Poland's president, took part in the events at Pilsenski Square in Warsaw.
	Joined by the European Council's President Donald Tusk...
	Ninety-nine years ago, on November the 11th, 1918, the Board of Regents...
	You know, that Euronews is really starting to sound like the old Polygon newsreels.
	It was a revelation here in Poland...
	Ninety-nine years ago, on November the 11th, 1918, the Board of Regents handed over the military authority and the supreme command of Poland's troops to Joseph Pilsudski.
	Some 100,000 people took part in the parallel independence march organized around the slogan of We Want God.
	The traditionally far-right gathering attracted many supporters of the governing law and justice party.
	The divided opposition organized several counter-demonstrations with the two largest rallying on anti-fascist and pro-democracy platforms.
	There you go.
	More against the fascists and the Hitlerjugend.
	It's happening everywhere.
	Let's do a Catalan update.
	Ah, yes.
	They had a big event yesterday.
	Spain's government said Wednesday it'll consider constitutional changes that would allow for regional governments to hold referendums and independents like the banned vote on October 1st that sparked a political crisis in Spain's Catalonia region.
	The apparent olive branch came as pro-independence activists called a general strike Wednesday.
	In Barcelona, riot police arrested students who stormed a train station and shut down high-speed rail service.
	Police also removed demonstrators who blockaded roads and highways across the city.
	This is Adriana, a Barcelona student, who said the protesters are demanding the release of Catalan political leaders who've been arrested on charges of rebellion and sedition. - In order to break with a picture of normalcy, as if nothing was happening here, to demand the freedom of the political prisoners, and to keep on taking the streets, because the republic which has been declared needs to be defended.
	We need to stay organized and keep demonstrating.
	Oh yeah, you got to, because we got to stop that Chinese railroad.
	Well, they've got to stop something, but that wasn't reported pretty much anywhere.
	You saw it?
	Interestingly, I had a clip as well, but it was shittier than yours, so I'm very happy we played yours.
	Now, along the lines of the Silk Road, I have updated our silkroad.noagendanotes.com webpage to include the Black Death story, which is now garnering speed.
	It's very coincidental that it's just everywhere the New Silk Road, the One Bridge, One Road Initiative, has all of their shipping routes.
	Madagascar is ground zero, but now the plague has spread to South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia.
	Oh, it just gets beautiful.
	You don't want any of your ships going there.
	The Seychelles, Mauritius, Reunion, all dying, plague, death.
	I can't wait.
	I mean, we had Ebola.
	We had Zika.
	Now, it'll be the same format.
	It'll be the same format.
	So here's what you can expect.
	You can expect new signs at the TSA line.
	You can expect at least one American who has the plague.
	And we'll probably come here and we'll follow him on television as he goes to the Mayo Clinic or whatever.
	What are they saying here?
	It's also Marburg.
	Is that the official name?
	The Marburg virus disease?
	I don't know.
	I don't remember anymore.
	Marburg, I think, is more like Ebola.
	Yes, it is.
	It's a hemorrhagic fever.
	Yeah.
	But what is the Black Plague, then?
	What exactly is that stuff made of?
	Something else.
	It's not Marburg.
	Some other groovy stuff.
	Well, you left one element out of the laundry list of what to expect.
	Oh, shoot.
	What'd I forget?
	Vaccine development.
	Oh, vaccine.
	Yes, of course.
	Whatever happened to all the Zika vaccine?
	Wasn't it like they were going to do it for free and they weren't going to charge anybody?
	Am I blowing up the story?
	No talkie.
	No.
	You know, I found one more story that I don't – tell me if I'm wrong when you play this clip – that I don't believe the mainstream media touched, which was – I mean, they mention it, but they don't touch this one kind of – at least to me, a very interesting element of Trump's visit to China.
	Mm-hmm.
	Trump China venue.
	Check this out.
	President Trump's begun talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing following a lavish welcome Wednesday that was billed as a state visit plus and included the first state dinner for a U.S. president inside the Forbidden City.
	The welcoming ceremony outside Beijing's Great Hall of the People was broadcast live on state television, unprecedented treatment for a visiting leader.
	Trump used the talks to call on China to sever ties with North Korea.
	The Forbidden City.
	This is the first time an American president was ever invited to a state dinner, which I guess is the state dinner plus ever.
	So there's something going on.
	And Trump is getting this kind of, you know, I don't know what he's up to, but he's setting stuff up because he's getting really fantastic treatment by these foreign leaders.
	But our media doesn't want to point any of this out because the litany is, oh, we were hated.
	You know, they were hated and nobody likes Trump and all these leaders think he's a lunatic and a cheese face.
	Yeah.
	And so they won't mention this.
	I thought this was very interesting.
	A cheese face?
	Yeah, I mean, you know, Cheetos.
	I hadn't heard.
	Oh, that's a different cheese face.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	Cheetos face.
	I agree with you.
	I agree.
	And I think that has to do with North Korea.
	There's something that the 4chan Q guy was also talking about, how Barack Obama is very involved in North Korea, and he possibly might have even been there in the past month or so.
	There's all kinds of weird stuff about that.
	I did get one little North Korea clip.
	who is discussing North Korea politics and how the Chinese are looking like they're trying to give, you know, sanction them, but they're not really.
	And all the rest.
	But there was a little tidbit in here at the end.
	I didn't.
	I just you think about it.
	Oh, yeah, obviously, this is this North Korea thing is is this has a lot to do with it.
	This professor about what China does not want.
	How much leverage does China have on North Korea?
	And what does Trump expect from China?
	To hear Mr.
	Trump say it and the American foreign policy establishment say it, you would think that if Xi Jinping picked up the phone and called Kim Jong Un and said, I want you to dismantle your nuclear facilities, he would do that.
	That is a complete myth.
	For one thing, there's an enormous amount of bad blood between North Korea and And China.
	And the tougher China is, and we are, on North Korea, the more likely they are to hang on to their nuclear weapons.
	That's the first thing.
	The second thing is that the Chinese already voted for the very tough UN sanctions in August and September.
	Ninety-six percent of North Korea's trade is with China, but the Chinese don't want to asphyxiate, choke the regime to death for fear that it will collapse.
	That collapse would have immediate consequences for them, economically and strategically.
	For one thing, in the long term, they, the Chinese, cannot exclude the possibility that a collapse in North Korea would mean, down the line, a unified Korean peninsula aligned to the United States.
	So, obviously, they don't want a unified Korean peninsula, because it would be aligned with the United States because of South Korea's influence.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think that we should be trying to get these two to hook up together, but the Chinese are probably behind it not ever happening.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Yeah, it makes sense to me.
	I mean, that's why they were involved in the first place.
	Yeah.
	That's just geopolitics.
	But, you know, there's something about the Uranium One deal...
	With uranium being smuggled out, big payments in Iran, and then Kim Jong-un has enough material apparently to be testing some kind of nukes.
	Yeah.
	I know it's kind of second half of show stuff, but it's not all that crazy.
	Anything's possible these days.
	I think anything's always been possible, just we really never had the information.
	And now that stupid internet is just giving us everything.
	Internet.
	It's horrible.
	For instance, speaking of Chinese, I've been holding back on this one.
	Nancy Pelosi, who I think is probably the recipient of some of the Alzheimer's drugs that are rumored to...
	Not even rumored, but there was a...
	Wasn't there a...
	A pharmacist in D.C. says that he delivers reasonably large quantities of Alzheimer's drugs to Congress.
	Yeah, so there's probably more than one or two people with Alzheimer's, and I can think of who they might be.
	Maxine Waters, maybe?
	Or Sheila Jackson Jones?
	No, I think Pelosi.
	What about that one guy?
	What's his name?
	Al Green.
	Pelosi.
	He keeps coming up and asking to impeach Trump over and over like he forgot he did it last week.
	It's Pelosi.
	Good afternoon, everyone.
	We're all awaiting the next version of how Republicans in the House of Representatives will rip off the middle class in our country.
	In the meantime, it was curious to see President Trump in China.
	Candidate Trump said that what's happening in China trade was the greatest theft in the history of the world.
	And yesterday, he said, our trade deficit with China, which is huge, is not China's fault.
	This is very interesting.
	I like how she played this, because that is what the president said.
	But the second part of his statement was, it was the stupid Democrats who were running the show who let the Chinese get away with everything.
	It's really their fault.
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	That's what he said.
	Now, Pelosi doesn't mention that, but she does say something else.
	Right.
	And yesterday, he said, our trade deficit with China, which is huge, is not China's fault.
	You can almost hear the leadership of the Chinese government laughing from China to America.
	Maybe you can feel it coming through the ground, because if you dig a hole here, you will reach China.
	But the reverberation is so appalling.
	To Alzheimer's, John.
	There's no doubt.
	Well, I'm pretty sure she has Alzheimer's, but I'm sure there's another one or two in there that do, too.
	But who the hell says you can hear the Chinese laughing if you dig a hole here and you come out in China on the other end?
	I mean, come on.
	I don't think that's the worst of Nancy Pelosi's presentations.
	It's up there.
	Yeah, well, they're all up there.
	It's just she's, I don't know.
	She's going to say something.
	I mean, she hasn't yet said something astonishingly stupid, such as, Who am I? What am I doing here?
	What is this microphone in front of me?
	She's having brain freezes from time to time.
	We see those on YouTube.
	She snaps out of it.
	There was an interesting comparison that I think is now a meme, and when you really think about it, it could be a scary meme.
	This is Joy Reid, and she had on the MSNBC, they were talking about George Wallace.
	Now, George Wallace ran again.
	Who did he run against?
	George Wallace was an independent, and I think he ran against Kennedy.
	Ah, that could be right.
	Or President.
	Or Nixon.
	Listen to this.
	Probably Kennedy.
	Listen to this.
	The comparisons.
	Talk about this book, Playing With Fire, because 1968, I personally think, is the most momentous and interesting year in American history.
	Obviously, you agree, because you wrote a book about it.
	This is Matthews again with his book.
	You know, I think about George Wallace a lot when I think about Donald Trump.
	Is he comparable to Wallace, or is he something different?
	Well, George Wallace, his campaign manager, is in this book telling me that when he listened to Donald Trump campaigning, he was listening to Wallace on every level, on the voter...
	It must have been Nixon, not Kennedy.
	It was 68, so it must have been...
	Yeah, it has to be Nixon.
	Nixon, yeah.
	Listening to Wallace on every level, on the voter he was appealing to, on the racially coded language that he was using to appeal to them.
	Because, you know, Wallace said in 1967, when he was gearing up for his independent campaign for 1968, he said, having been steamrolled by the Kennedys in integrating University of Alabama, when he was a staunch segregationist, he said, I don't talk about segregation anymore.
	I talk about law and order.
	And Nixon heard that, and a couple months later, Nixon was talking about law and order.
	Every Republican candidate since then is the law and order candidate.
	But Wallace did something in his rallies that no one had ever seen before.
	And the next time we saw it was Donald Trump.
	And that was, whenever he got these liberal, and as he would call them, commie protesters in the audience, He would always attack them very directly and fight with them very directly because he loved showing his supporters how tough he is.
	And if you put him in there, he's going to fight the people who you hate.
	And so the Wallace campaign was about hate in both directions.
	It was about Wallace expressing the hatred of the other side that his voters felt.
	Trump did exactly the same thing.
	You would see a protester at a Trump rally and very quickly Trump caught on to, oh, this is the good part of the rally.
	This is the part where I get to say, I want to punch him in the face.
	That was pure Wallace.
	And not that Trump has the vaguest notion of history and that it had been done before.
	He had exactly the same sense of kind of vulgar showmanship that Wallace did.
	So this is a setup, as far as I'm concerned.
	Because we know how it ended for George Wallace.
	Well, it didn't end that way, but he got shot!
	Yeah, he ended up in a wheelchair.
	Yeah.
	So, oh, it's exactly like Wallace.
	I always think of Wallace.
	Yeah, Wallace.
	Huh.
	That's a good one.
	Now, he did go on to win the primaries in a number of key states.
	Didn't do him any good, but...
	I don't know.
	When this kind of stuff happens, it's always been Nixon, Nixon, Nixon.
	And then, you know, a little bit of maybe LBJ, a-hole.
	Yeah, just a-hole, just a-hole.
	And now, oh no, I always think of George Wallace.
	No, you don't.
	No, you don't.
	Nobody does.
	But why now?
	It feels like a sad setup to me.
	Yeah, it could be a messaging.
	Messaging, meme, yeah, for sure.
	What we're going to do next is what we're going to do.
	We have to finally go to this.
	CIA's getting ready.
	Military intelligence won't be able to protect this guy.
	Have no worry, because the luckiest guy I know is running for president, or...
	Is he?
	You kind of would like to be the President of the United States.
	No, that's not what I said.
	If you could.
	That's not what I said.
	I said I'm considering it.
	I think that given the circumstances, there's a unique opportunity for somebody like me who's independent, who's...
	Not affiliated with a party in any way.
	I haven't given money to a politician since 2002.
	And I think that people are looking for an independent voice, a real independent voice, that at least has an inkling of what they're talking about.
	If you ran, you would run as a Democrat?
	No, absolutely not.
	As an independent?
	Potentially, and I'd say...
	Or as a Republican.
	Republican before Democrat, most likely independent because I think there's an incremental value for setting up an independent candidacy.
	Now, I understand the difficulties of that and the challenges of that from an infrastructure perspective, but the positives for doing it as a Republican means you get to go head-on with Trump right in the primaries.
	And so there's nothing I'd have more fun doing.
	The benefit of being an independent is you go right to the golden ticket time, right?
	And if I get enough support in the polls, then I get to participate with the debates, which is right up there with something.
	I think you really are considering and thinking about it.
	I'm considering, obviously considering.
	Well, it's not going to happen.
	And I can tell you why.
	And he should be very, very careful because he's a cheater.
	He's a philanderer.
	And I know for a fact.
	And, you know, he may even be a little aggressive, right?
	So, hashtag me too, Cuban.
	Careful, back down.
	This is not a good time for you to be doing this.
	Especially if you don't want to be a Democrat.
	He wouldn't get any support at all.
	He doesn't have...
	This is the guy who sold a domain name for a billion dollars.
	Yeah, that's his business model.
	Yeah, broadcast.com, a billion dollars from Yahoo.
	Three.
	What?
	No.
	Was it three billion?
	Yeah.
	Four.
	And how's that Broadcast.com doing these days?
	Does that just forward to Yahoo.com?
	Let's see.
	Let's search.
	Let me see.
	Broadcast.com.
	Is it even registered anymore?
	Hold on.
	I may be doing something.
	Maybe we should register and resell it.
	Hey, half off!
	Broadcast.com.
	Ah, Yahoo.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Go straight to Yahoo.
	Yeah, that's a $3 billion redirect right there.
	I should mention Ted Hossman got a couple domains for us that are redirecting.
	Boomcount.com, which I'm very happy with.
	Yeah.
	And NoBordersNoNations.com.
	That's a good one.
	That's a good one.
	That one, somebody will come along and offer some cash.
	Well, good.
	Hopefully he'll share some of it with the show.
	I got a clip of another thing that's not being covered too much, but it is being covered.
	You know, Michael Flynn, they're trying to think they can strong arm him.
	They see him as a weak person, I guess.
	And so they're making this connection between him and...
	They're trying to make the case that he was organizing a kidnapping of Gulen.
	Yeah, I love this.
	But we knew this.
	This was news months ago.
	Yeah, well, here's the latest of it.
	President Trump's former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, is not only under scrutiny for his dealings with Russia.
	Special Counsel Robert Mueller is also reportedly investigating whether Flynn was involved in a plot to kidnap a Turkish cleric.
	Jeff Pegues has more on this.
	In the weeks before he became National Security Advisor, the Wall Street Journal reports that Michael Flynn met with representatives of the Turkish government to discuss a plan to forcibly return a cleric legally living in the United States to Turkey.
	In exchange, the journal says Flynn and his associates would be paid up to $15 million.
	The cleric Fethullah Gulen has been blamed by Turkey's president for a failed coup in July of 2016.
	Gulen denies being involved.
	That December meeting was at least the second between Flynn and Turkish representatives.
	I needed to say something about it.
	Former CIA Director James Woolsey told CNN in March that he was at another meeting in September of 2016 when the forced removal of Gulen was also discussed.
	He says he's been in touch with the special counsel's office.
	I'm not claiming that there was a concrete plan that was being fleshed out at the meeting, but there was a good deal of discussion of that general direction.
	In a statement, Flynn's attorney said the allegations ranging from kidnapping to bribery are outrageous and false.
	But in a recent federal filing, Flynn confirmed the September meeting in that his consulting firm was paid $530,000 by a company with ties to the Turkish government.
	Yep.
	You know, we have been following this guy back to...
	I think we caught it very early.
	2013.
	Here, 2014, they wanted to extradite him.
	Turkey is planning to begin legal proceedings to have an opposition leader extradited from the U.S. Yeah, that was in 2014.
	This guy.
	Sitting there in the Poconos.
	Yeah.
	Running the schools.
	Corrupting the children.
	Miserable schools that are no good.
	Yeah, we should yell, hey, hey, hey, this is what we need.
	We need a scandal at one of his Harmony charter schools.
	A sex scandal.
	I don't think there's nobody there.
	That's a bunch of Turkish dudes drinking tea.
	Yeah.
	They're full, all right.
	They got students.
	You can't say much about the staff.
	They're not the most qualified.
	Yeah, well, that doesn't seem to want to come out.
	I think Flynn is in some real trouble, though.
	I think he probably did a few things incorrectly.
	Yeah, when you're going to be in that business, you have to play by a certain set of rules, and I think he was fast and loose.
	Mm-hmm.
	But, you know, if anything really bad happens to him, Trump can just pardon him.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think that's why a lot of guys aren't going to talk because they know if they talk, they're going to be thrown to the wolves.
	And if they don't talk, they will...
	And they get indicted or some bad things happen to them, Trump will just pardon them.
	That's the way you do it.
	It's not an unusual process.
	Right.
	And Martin Van Buren, I believe, was involved in stuff like that.
	Nixon, for sure.
	And they just pardon everybody.
	Yeah.
	And then everyone will grouse about that and make a big stink about it.
	They have to try to get the stuff to happen before 2018 so they can grouse before the election.
	It's going to be a tiring ride.
	Although I do like the sex scandal stuff.
	If they keep using it.
	And that's just...
	I don't think that's going to be over for a month.
	Oh, no.
	No, that should continue.
	Come on.
	We need content.
	No.
	No.
	People need to tire of it, but we still have academia to go after, and then we still have more, you know, somebody outed me.
	It's a sexual assault somehow.
	That one still baffles me.
	And a lot of lousy directors won't get work.
	That's probably a plus.
	We got an email of pushback from Sir Rod Adams about our concept of not following the CDC guidelines.
	Yeah, and head out.
	Jump in the car.
	Yeah, we say head out.
	Everybody leave.
	Turn on recycling and get out of Dodge.
	Yeah, he says it's probably not a good idea.
	He's a rule follower.
	Yeah.
	Well, they should be following this rule in Europe.
	Questions remain after a cloud of radioactive pollution was detected over Europe in September and October.
	France's IRSN Nuclear Safety Institute believes ruthenium-106 may have been released between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains.
	That could indicate Russia or possibly Kazakhstan.
	It's thought a nuclear fuel treatment site or center for radioactive medicine could be the origin.
	It could have been released during a production process or the treatment of a radioactive effluent, he says.
	Something may have worked improperly, resulting in the vaporization of ruthenium-106, which is more volatile than other radionuclides.
	Experts say there's been no impact on human health or the environment, but with Russian and Kazakh authorities denying any leak, mystery remains.
	From a French independent nuclear watchdog group, he says it's worrying that over a month on we still don't know the exact source.
	Ruthenium-106 is used in nuclear medicine.
	It's also found in satellites, but none containing it crashed to Earth during the period in question.
	I think we would have heard if that had happened.
	Yeah.
	Putin.
	Well, there's another under-reported story.
	It's Putin.
	It's Putin.
	He's killing us.
	He's trying to kill us.
	Putin.
	Mm-hmm.
	Poo-ing.
	Oh yeah.
	And if Puin's not going to kill the EU, Monsanto will.
	Campaigners want to see glyphosate banished to the history books, but EU countries have hit deadlock on the weed killer's future, which some experts claim causes cancer.
	The blocs fail to approve or reject a European Commission proposal for a five-year license extension.
	However, we don't expect the Member States' position to change at this point.
	Therefore, the Commission should listen.
	They should listen now.
	And change that proposal into a ban on glyphosate.
	So you don't expect the appeal committee to change something in this negotiation?
	No.
	In general, we have a lot of experience with the appeal committee on GMOs, on pesticides.
	In general, positions do not change.
	Europe's been wrestling over what to do with the chemical for two years now.
	It was in 2015 that the World Health Organization's cancer agency concluded it probably does cause cancer.
	The European Commission says it will resubmit its proposals over the coming weeks.
	I know that some member states, he says, have changed their minds to our side.
	I would like to see others, but that means these states, and I'm obviously thinking of Germany, have to confront their chemical industry.
	Meanwhile, a large long-term study on the use of glyphosate in the US has found no firm link between exposure to the pesticide and cancer.
	I love how the United States of Europe will gladly write up a rule that you can't fry your french fries twice.
	But glyphosate?
	Nah, I think we really have to evaluate this.
	That's the Roundup Ready stuff, correct?
	It's Roundup.
	Why do I keep saying Ready?
	Where did I get that from?
	That relates to the seeds that can grow in Roundup without being killed by the stuff.
	So it's like a corn seed that you can plant and you can then spray the field with Roundup and that particular plant won't die because it's Roundup ready.
	It's ready for Roundup.
	They can handle it.
	You know what just happened?
	Something I've never seen before.
	My iPhone started dinging and the flash started flashing.
	Yeah.
	And to stop now.
	It's an emergency.
	What emergency?
	It's an emergency, obviously, or it wouldn't be doing that.
	Well, it has no message of an emergency.
	Maybe it's going to blow.
	Maybe it's a bomb.
	That was weird.
	I've never seen that behavior.
	It went ding, ding, ding, ding, and the flash started flashing in unison.
	Maybe your battery's low.
	It's plugged in.
	Oh, maybe it doesn't like being permitted.
	The battery's full.
	Maybe it's filled.
	I don't know.
	That was very odd.
	I figured out the Echo.
	I figured out the Echo.
	Okay, what was it?
	Yeah, well, I have this giant 43-inch screen now.
	The sound, of course, the minute I position the microphone differently, the sound starts slapping back right into the mic.
	That's what's happening.
	Wow.
	Yeah, it's that big.
	I'm getting to suntan while doing the show.
	It's not concave or anything, so it really reflects well.
	No, I actually should have gotten one of those.
	Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
	It would have been smarter.
	A little more Putin and Trump hate from NPR.
	It's so much fun to listen to NPR these days.
	They did not have a formal bilateral sit-down, but they did have two or three short conversations during the course of the APEC summit, which both men were attending.
	Trump told reporters that their talks focused mostly on Syria.
	The two leaders issued a joint statement in which they reiterated their determination to defeat ISIS in Syria and their commitment to a political solution to that country's long-running civil war.
	Well, you know, obviously there's some sensitivity around this meeting between the two men, given Russia's interference in last year's presidential election, which has been pretty well established by U.S. So this is one of those moments where something has completely been debunked.
	We know that not all 17 agencies signed off on it.
	In fact, NSA was very clear.
	They said, well, we don't know.
	We're withholding any judgment.
	And those are the guys who would know.
	But no, NPR just states this as fact.
	Given Russia's interference in last year's presidential election, which has been pretty well established by U.S. intelligence agencies, did President Trump raise this?
	Trump told reporters that he once again asked Putin about that Russian interference.
	He says Putin once again denied any role.
	As you say, the U.S. intelligence community concluded, however, that Russia did interfere, and moreover, that it did so for the benefit of Fake news.
	In fact, earlier today, Michael Hayden, the former director of national intelligence, tweeted that those findings have not changed.
	He said the director of the CIA stands by that assessment.
	What's Hayden got to do with it?
	Hayden, you'll say anything to avoid jail time.
	Yeah.
	No, it's just...
	Yeah, that's very bad.
	It's a disservice, a huge disservice to humanity what these people are doing.
	Yeah, because they have their agenda of getting more Democrats in in 2018, and that would be NPR. And the tongue guy.
	I got another great...
	The frog tongue-er.
	I got a great report here from...
	It's a little long.
	Is it long?
	How's the show doing?
	We didn't get a lot of donations today.
	Yeah, we should end this pretty soon.
	Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
	Okay.
	Should I play this last clip?
	It's about the alt-right.
	Can you move it?
	Well, I've already moved it for three shows.
	Oh, can you move it?
	Obviously, it's movable.
	Well, it's so good.
	Why don't you use it?
	We'll tease it.
	We'll tease it if it's that good for the Thursday show.
	Okay.
	All right, for the Thursday, you mean, is it today Sunday?
	Yeah, the Thursday show.
	Yes, Thursday show.
	All right, then you can play us out.
	I've got nothing.
	I'm done.
	I've been sitting here waiting for you to wrap, but you've been going on and on.
	I'm sorry.
	You call it, it's done.
	But, on Thursday, I have a great report for everybody about the rise of...
	Usually when we tease these things, they never get bumped against.
	Well, there's that.
	The rise of the old right, everybody.
	Make sure you catch it on Thursday edition of the No Agenda Show.
	And eyes peeled, everybody, in the troll room for what's going on.
	It is a show day.
	You never know what can happen.
	Things do happen on Thursdays and Sundays.
	Yes, they do.
	Yes, they do.
	I look forward to it.

	Science is turning into a clique I got ants I got ants I got ants.
	I don't know if you had ants.
	We had ant invasion.
	I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine grind of black pepper.
	We were having dinner and...
	I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it.
	These things are peppery.
	I got ants.
	I got ants.
	These ants, they don't need a lot.
	And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you.
	I don't know why I backed them off by doing the burning trick.
	You just torch them.
	And you leave them there.
	The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch, and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back.
	I got ants.
	Ants. Ants. Ants. Ants.
	May I have your attention, fleek?
	Oh, Zika.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	A little baby with a little bitty head.
	With a baby with a small head.
	They're going to have to make a little head.
	You watch.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	1.9 billion dollars.

	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	Small heads are coming.
	You're going to do it.

	We're going to have it.
	Adios, mofo.
