	Politeness is dead.
	Adam Couric, John C. Devorak.
	And Thursday, November 16, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 982.
	This is no agenda.
	We're opening, groping like Al!
	And broadcasting live from downtown Austin Tejas, Capo the Drone Star State, in the 5x9 Cludio.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's raining like cats and dogs, and we'll continue to do so all winter, just like last year.
	I'm John C. DeMar.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Finally, you got some crappy weather.
	Yeah, it'll be this way the whole winter.
	This happened in the 70s.
	You know, the problem with all these global warming guys...
	Only you would know that, but yes, okay.
	What's the problem with those global warming?
	It cycles, it cycles, it cycles, and we had the same thing.
	It was one year it snowed, and then the next year it snowed again, and then the third year, which was pretty close to being like the other two years, maybe a little colder, it almost snowed, but didn't snow, and it hasn't snowed since.
	But we have these pops of three years between these drought periods.
	This time it's just been pouring rain starting last year, of course.
	Filled up all the reservoirs that will take hundreds of years to fill.
	They filled them up so much they had to drain them.
	Vote those people out, man.
	Get Moonbeam out of there.
	The same thing's going to happen again this year.
	They're going to fill the reservoirs up and they're going to drain them.
	You guys got weird, weird thoughts out there, man.
	It's a cycle.
	Yeah.
	Well, the moonbeam cycle is back for the second time.
	Yeah, there's this guy.
	Yeah, that guy.
	Yeah.
	Well, I could not be happier today, John.
	What a great day for humanity.
	What a great day for hashtag me too.
	What happened?
	Ah, this is not a full, complete report, but at least it's a clip to get us going.
	Good morning, everyone.
	I'm Sue Herrera.
	Here's your CNBC News update at this hour.
	Los Angeles radio host Leanne Tweeden says Democratic Senator Al Franken forcibly kissed her during a 2006 USO tour skit and then posed for a photo with his hands on her breasts as she slept.
	Franken releasing a statement in which he apologized to her, saying he did not remember the skit in the same way and said he shouldn't have groped her in the photo.
	Yeah, the photo lies.
	Don't believe it.
	Oh, have you seen it?
	No, I haven't.
	By the way, I love this so much.
	This show is going to rock because you get Clip of the Day right off the bat.
	Clip of the Day.
	Yeah, the show's gonna rock for sure, baby.
	Now that, now that makes me laugh.
	It's very funny.
	Sanctimonious, smug, sanctimonious jerk.
	And you gotta bing the picture right now.
	You gotta take a look at it.
	You gotta see it.
	Just do Franken-touching Leanne.
	That's all you need.
	Because it was at a USO. I think they were in Afghanistan.
	And so she was just there to kind of announce everybody.
	She's a sports radio, sports talk radio, I think.
	And she's cute.
	And so Franken was there.
	It's nice that he was there to entertain the troops.
	And he had written some sketches.
	And one of these sketches included him kissing her.
	And he insisted that they rehearse this.
	And during rehearsal, he kissed her and stuck his tongue in her mouth.
	What is it with guys doing that?
	There's a picture of him.
	She's got the helmet on.
	Yes, yes.
	She's asleep.
	That's the worst kind of predator.
	Yeah.
	Oh, good.
	I mean, I know he's probably not a...
	Well, he did force himself on her, so yes, he's a predator.
	Yeah, I would say.
	He's got to be voted out.
	Yeah, he should go on permanent vacation.
	I think he was one of the, although he wasn't one of the loudmouths about the whole thing.
	You know, he's like a big shot.
	He's like to press people for one thing or another.
	This is, yeah, good.
	Well, it appears that he's a senator.
	And we missed this somehow.
	It came out the same time as the helper in Revelations.
	What's his name again?
	The news guy?
	Yeah, Halperin, the journalist.
	Can't remember his first name.
	David Halperin, I think it is?
	I don't think so, no.
	Halperin.
	So, was he removed from duty?
	Has he been taken off the air?
	Yeah, he was.
	Yeah, I think so.
	All right.
	Well, this came out two weeks ago, around the same, maybe even a little bit longer.
	Mark, there you go.
	Maybe a little bit longer ago.
	But somehow it didn't catch my attention.
	I didn't see a lot of news about it.
	This is happening in your House of Representatives.
	Now the Me Too movement has caught fire on Capitol Hill.
	Many of us...
	This is Jackie Speier, Congresswoman from California.
	Congress know what it's like.
	Because Congress has been a breeding ground for a hostile work environment for far too long.
	California Congresswoman Jackie Speier launching Me Too Congress, urging lawmakers and staffers to speak out by sharing her own story.
	So I know what it's like to keep these things hidden deep down inside.
	I know what it's like to lie awake in bed at night wondering if I was the one who had done something wrong.
	She is not alone.
	Senator Claire McCaskill says as a young state legislator, she asked an older male colleague for help.
	His advice?
	And he said, well, did you bring your knee pads?
	I do think he was joking, but it was shocking that he would make that joke to a colleague.
	A recent survey found that 40% of female congressional staffers cite sexual harassment as a problem on Capitol Hill.
	One in six female aides said they experienced sexual harassment in their offices.
	But unlike many workplaces, on the Hill, there is no mandatory sexual harassment training.
	To file a complaint, victims must go through counseling, mediation, Now, I believe I saw some announcement.
	They have new rules that they've put through the House, and I did not check those, so this may have now been...
	No, they're pushing this through.
	I have a complete report.
	Ah, can I just play this one quickie, then?
	Sure.
	This is...
	Oh, shoot.
	It looks like I did a Dvorak here.
	I deleted the wrong bit.
	Damn it.
	Well, I'll tell you what the clip was.
	No, you can't play the clip.
	It was very short.
	Apparently, when a complaint comes in and there's a financial settlement, the U.S. government pays for it.
	Yes, this is in my report.
	Okay, what you got here?
	Me too one?
	Yeah.
	... happened to one staffer dropping off research at a member's home.
	The young staffer, it was a young woman, went there and was greeted with a member in a towel.
	It was a male, who then invited her in.
	At that point, he decided to expose himself.
	She left, and then she quit her job.
	Tonight, some lawmakers want names.
	Well, I think it's good to get this stuff out, name them.
	Just get it out, lay it out.
	Now, I stopped it there, because Lindsey Graham, to say that, These guys, everyone knows who these guys are.
	Nobody says their names.
	But Lindsey Graham, to say that means they're Democrats.
	Of course it does.
	He wouldn't say it if it was his buddies.
	Of course not.
	Anyway, onward.
	Currently, victims go through 30 days of mandatory counseling, sign a non-disclosure agreement, undergo 30 days of mediation, and a month-long cooling-off period.
	That, by the way, is just ridiculous.
	I mean, what a...
	If you remember the clip we had from the woman that was kicked out of Fox, the blonde.
	I can't remember her name.
	Greta?
	Oh, no.
	No, no, no.
	I know what you mean.
	The one that sued.
	The one who started this whole thing.
	What was her name again?
	Roger Ailes' accusation.
	Yeah, and all the rest of it.
	She's the one who triggered the whole thing.
	I'll think of her.
	No, no, no, no.
	She's not her.
	No, I had to think of it.
	But anyway, so...
	No, not great.
	You said that again.
	Yeah, sorry.
	Anyway, the point is that this is common throughout...
	It's like an industry practice that the Congress adopted.
	But this new bill they're trying to push through will end it, and I think it's going to be very difficult for anyone to vote against this.
	It's going to be the rest.
	But a new bill would make counseling and mediation optional, allow anonymous complaints, and eliminate those non-disclosure agreements.
	This whole story exposing the different set of rules for staffers on the Hill tonight.
	Mary, in the meantime, this new bill would also mean big changes for accused lawmakers who settle harassment claims.
	David, this new bill aims to beef up transparency and accountability.
	If a lawmaker settles a claim, they would be named publicly, and they would have to pay that settlement out of their own pocket.
	David.
	Whoa.
	That won't happen.
	Wait a minute.
	I'm so sorry.
	I'm so sorry.
	I forgot to play the jingle for the segment.
	And now it's time for your sexual harassment update.
	We have no women jingles.
	I'm very happy for Michelle's work here.
	Now, it's Gretchen Carlson.
	Ah!
	Yes, there you go.
	And she had discussed this.
	You may even still have the clip.
	She discussed this problem of the non-disclosures and all the rest, which really does have to go.
	I think non-disclosures should be illegal.
	Here's the clip.
	Over 90% of sexual harassment cases end up in settlements.
	And what does that mean?
	That means that the woman pretty much never works in her chosen career ever again.
	And she can never talk about it.
	She's gagged.
	Now how else do we solve sexual harassment suits?
	We put in arbitration clauses and employment contracts which make it a secret proceeding.
	So again, nobody ever finds out about it if you file a complaint.
	You can never talk about it.
	Ever.
	Nobody ever knows what happened to you and in most cases you're also terminated from the company and the predator in many cases is left to still work in the same position in which he was harassing you.
	So this is the way our society has decided to resolve sexual harassment cases to gag women so that we can fool everyone else out there that we've come so far in 2017.
	Yeah.
	The fish rots at the head.
	My goodness.
	But the thing that got me about that little report is the $16 million were paid for 260 cases within Congress.
	Staffers and congressmen and all the rest over the last decade.
	$16 million of taxpayer money.
	Yeah, that is unbelievable.
	It's scandalous.
	Yeah, we should absolutely name and shame.
	And they should pay it back.
	That's really, really...
	I keep my honest franken.
	You made a prediction on the last show, and someone shared this.
	I think you might have seen it.
	It was on Twitter.
	Again, calling us from the future.
	This is the World University Higher Education.
	Timeshighereducation.com.
	Are you familiar with that?
	No.
	It's an educational website.
	And the title is, the headline, Is There a Culture of Denial Around Sexual Misconduct in Academia?
	Five scholars offer their views.
	I'm not going to read the whole thing, but you can guess what's in there.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's on the way.
	Yeah, it's on the way.
	But I forgot there was going to be a stopover.
	I'm not going to have the clip before or not, but the stopover seems to be, which I mentioned in the newsletter, the Hollywood agents, which you kind of hinted at because we did note that it was the women setting people up for Harvey Weinstein were largely casting directors, female casting directors who knew what was going on, and they were pushing people onto him, towards him.
	Well, listen to this.
	Because it may not just be the casting director, but it may be an environment or a milieu.
	This came out two days ago.
	NBC dismisses news executive for misconduct.
	This is Matt Zimmerman, senior vice president for booking, who worked in the company's news division.
	And he, NBC News recently learned he engaged in inappropriate conduct with more than one woman at NBCU, which violated company policy, the company said in a statement, referring to NBCUniversal.
	As a result, he has been dismissed.
	Didn't hear that on MSNBC, did you?
	Gee.
	No, they failed to mention it.
	So it could be kind of the booker environment, which is still a version of show business, just because it's news and politics doesn't mean it's not show business.
	Well, you know, booking is a two-way street.
	I mean, for one thing, it's hard to get people booked, and you don't know how many guys are out there doing, or women, who are doing the booking by saying, yeah, I think I can book you on this, you know, if you do me a favor.
	You don't know how much of that's going on.
	Yeah, I think a lot.
	Probably.
	It's not like it's new.
	John Travolta now being accused, like we hadn't heard this for years.
	For years!
	Especially with the Seuss.
	Well, that and remember the picture of him grabbing some guy and grabbing his head and kissing him on the tarmac that went around.
	Well, that was his boyfriend.
	I think that was his lover.
	But this was the masseuse, 21-year-old masseuse, and he was really inappropriate with him.
	And...
	I'm still waiting for Al Gore.
	How come no one talks about him?
	I'm waiting too.
	The horny poodle.
	The horny poodle.
	Where's Gore?
	Where's Gore?
	Where's Al?
	Come on, Al.
	If you already got the other Al, then we'll nail you down too.
	According to...
	We already went through an iteration of Al Gore being a creep.
	Now why don't we...
	How come more women are coming forward?
	Well, according to the Gateway Pundit, a former Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Joe Biden to the residence claims the service often had to protect female agents from him.
	Yeah.
	Well, this, of course, all came out after Biden kind of kicked off his campaign.
	Well, yes.
	This is all political crap.
	All of it.
	Not all of it.
	Well, not all of it.
	A lot of it.
	This is for sure.
	That is for sure.
	Yeah.
	But we know Biden has always been kind of a creep because he's always grabbing people and he's inappropriately licking girls.
	Creepy Uncle Joe.
	So Creepy Uncle Joe on November 13th was given the full four hours on Today Show.
	And I have the clip where I believe it's a little long, but this is the clip where I believe he...
	mean, he kind of announced for president and then they kind of confirmed it.
	And this was very rehearsed.
	And I want to play the clip and I want to play two moments within the clip that show how it was rehearsed, because it's something that he nobody in their right mind would actually say the way he said it.
	It's one of those things where you well, it's one of those things where you put a bunch of phrases together in such a way that is not making sense if deconstructed.
	But this is a show.
	It was anything Obama was going to try to scratch, but it's very calm.
	Do you follow him on Twitter or no?
	I asked him if he's following me on Twitter.
	All right, I've got Kendra here with a question.
	Jamie.
	Oh, Jamie.
	Hi, Vice President.
	So the 2016 election was, for many Democrats, a shocking wake-up call.
	What changes do you think the Democratic Party needs to make in order to be successful in 2018 and 2020?
	Well, I want to point out, but for 172,000 votes, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
	And Hillary got 3 million more votes.
	I'm not saying he didn't win.
	He won fair and square by the Electoral College.
	It makes sense.
	But there was no landslide here, number one.
	Number two, I'm referred to in Washington in the last 25 years as middle class Joe.
	It's not meant as a compliment.
	It means I'm not sophisticated.
	But I think there's real reason why a lot of middle class people are legitimately concerned.
	With digitalization, artificial intelligence, whether there are going to be jobs in the future.
	I spoke at the World Economic Forum.
	I was asked to speak about the fourth industrial revolution and will there be middle class jobs.
	And so, for example, I was talking to one of the staff guys here today, a cameraman, about truck drivers.
	And a guy who was a cameraman always wanted to be a truck driver, so he's driving an 18-wheeler now.
	And I said, well, a lot of those guys are wondering whether they're going to have a job in 2, 5, 10, 12 years.
	Are they going to be able to make a living?
	So people are out there worried, and we don't talk enough to them.
	My dad used to have an expression.
	He said, I don't expect the federal government or the government to solve my problems.
	I expect them to understand it.
	And I think there are answers.
	In this last election, what happened was, because it was such a mosh pit in terms of Hillary's inability to be able to, not her, she tried, but to get the message out about the middle class, about what she was going to do about education, what she was going to do about childcare, what she was going to do about these things.
	And the middle class is, I think we have to respond and let them know there's significant hope.
	We're in better position than any nation in the world to own the 21st century.
	No, we really are.
	That's not hyperbole.
	And so I just think that we have to speak more directly to the legitimate concerns of the middle class, black, white, Asian.
	It's not just white, high school educated guys and women.
	It's across the board.
	On that note, we have run out of time for this segment.
	Just an informal poll real quickly.
	Does it sound like he's running?
	raise your hand.
	If you missed it, he just did the sign of the cross. - Former Vice President Joe Biden.
	Vice President Biden, it's a pleasure to have you here.
	Thanks.
	Thank you so much.
	Appreciate it.
	Thank you, guys.
	Appreciate it.
	He's going to be back along with his wife, Dr.
	Joe Biden.
	Okay.
	That's the beginning of the end for him.
	That's when all this stuff began.
	I mean, it's not true, and he's not a creep.
	But he would have fared better, I think, if he would have held off a little bit, but now it's too bad.
	Yeah, this is the wrong time for him to do that.
	Yeah, he's made a mistake here.
	He's signaling too early, and it's like now he's a target, and he's being targeted, and you can see it, and he's going to be wiped out.
	But let's listen to a couple of ISOs here.
	The one, he did a couple of things that...
	I think he almost memorized pretty much all of this, this little spiel of his.
	And I'm sure if you hear him someplace else, you'll hear a lot of the same stuff.
	But he throws his dad thing in, which kind of irks me, because he just does it in a way that is unnatural.
	He just, as though it's dropped in for a reason.
	Let's play the ISO of the dad story.
	Is that the one?
	I'm sorry.
	That may not be the one.
	It says dad in it.
	Uh...
	Got it, sorry.
	We'll make a living.
	So people are out there worried and we don't talk enough to them.
	My dad used to have an expression.
	He said, I don't expect the federal government or the government to solve my problems.
	I expect them to understand it.
	He drops a word.
	He cuts right in the middle of a word.
	I thought that was you.
	That was him?
	Yes.
	Hold on, let me listen again.
	So people are out there worried and we don't talk enough to them.
	My dad used to have an expression.
	He said, I don't expect the federal government or the government to solve my problems.
	I expect them to understand it.
	There's no edit there.
	What is he saying?
	I don't know.
	Because he cut himself off from one thought and he clicked into thought number two where he had to do this dad anecdote.
	And I'm not sure what the point of that was because it seemed to be artificially inserted as if The federal government, I don't know, I really don't know what he said.
	Well, you know that he also wrote a book called Promise Me, Dad, which was about his son who died.
	Yep, Dad said he promised he'd run for president.
	Yes, yeah, so maybe it's a tie-in to that.
	I have no idea, but it was very poorly executed.
	But the worst is this other example, which is the 21st century example.
	Listen carefully to this.
	We're in a better position than any nation in the world to own the 21st century.
	No, we really are.
	That's not hyperbole.
	And so I just think that we have to speak more directly to the legitimate concerns of the middle class, black, white.
	Own the 21st century.
	Well, here's the problem with what he just did.
	He says, we're going to own the 21st century.
	No, we really are.
	As if somebody is disagreeing with him or as if somebody is arguing when nothing cropped up.
	He just jammed it together as if he's interrupting somebody.
	Ah, okay.
	So he was ready for the interruption.
	It didn't come.
	There was none.
	Because for one thing, he's so nervous.
	He ran it so tight that there wasn't even a moment.
	Like if it was a sitcom, there'd be wait for applause.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, maybe he needs to up his dosage.
	Well, here I have an example.
	This is me doing the same thing.
	I'm going to, as if I had memorized the script...
	I'm going to be on this show talking like this and tell me it doesn't sound a little weird.
	I've been thinking about making some changes to the show.
	No, I'm serious.
	Don't interrupt me.
	It's something I have to say.
	My dad once said two becomes three and three becomes four.
	I'm not sure why you'd object to this.
	Just hear me out.
	Are you saying he's a robot?
	Well, that's just some robotic aspect to something where you're assuming that Writers do this all the time, and I find it to be one of the more offensive things to do.
	And I really avoid it.
	Which is assuming that you know what the reader's thinking.
	And so you'll say, you'll make a statement and you say, no, really?
	As if the person is thinking it's not a good thing.
	You don't know what the reader's ever thinking.
	So you should never make these sorts of assumptions.
	And the way Biden approaches this It indicates to me that this is rehearsed, previously written, and he's executing it very poorly.
	He's dropping words, he's cutting in the middle of the sentences, all because it's a script.
	I wonder if he's doing this under his own power or if he has backing.
	Well, he's not being backed by Soros.
	Yeah, we'll get to that.
	We both have the same clip.
	I saw that.
	He might get a lot of competition from the possible Republican contender, Mark Cuban, who is dumber than a sack of bricks.
	Listen to this.
	He was on a panel with...
	This is, I think, a Reuters panel with an economist, and he's debating artificial intelligence and jobs and immigration.
	You know, here's the quickest way to get stronger growth.
	If we want stronger growth, sustained stronger growth, We increase immigration.
	We have, instead of a million immigrants, come into the country every year, which adds a half...
	By the way, that is conventional thinking, sadly.
	...a point to growth every year.
	We have two million immigrants, which is precisely the legislation that got through the Senate back in 2013 to double...
	And, you know, we should invite the best and the brightest to come and stay here, for sure.
	Look, you stop for a second.
	If that logic is true...
	Since we have 11 million illegal immigrants minimum, at the point where people were really starting to complain, it was also exactly the point of the economy was really just going nowhere fast.
	So if that's true, how come we're not just in boom times?
	Wow, now you pose an interesting question.
	I'm sure one of the other journalists there did the same thing.
	They asked that question.
	There were no journos asking questions.
	Some British guy was hosting the forum.
	Here, for sure.
	And they would come, because this is the best place on the planet to do business.
	Part of the challenge there, though, and this brings up political reality, is I'm a believer that artificial intelligence is going to have a significant disruption or create significant disruption in the workforce.
	Okay.
	What are the jobs?
	No jobs.
	You've got old robots.
	Well, it's not robots necessarily, but people who just deal with data and scheduling and moving things around.
	What is that?
	AI is going to take over jobs for people who do scheduling and move things around?
	Wow.
	That sounds great.
	Those jobs are gone in five to ten years.
	I'll take the other side of that.
	Write it down.
	You'll take the other side of that?
	Oh, yeah.
	Our biggest problem is not too much productivity growth.
	Our problem today is too little productivity growth.
	The projections are 30% fewer employees.
	Now, maybe us entrepreneurs can pick up the slack, and over the long run, I think that happens, and historically, that's what's happened.
	But in the short run, we have seen significant disruptions, particularly in industries, and particularly with the lower-hanging fruit, and I think we're going to see that again.
	Hey, that's really good, Mark.
	You should go out on the road and say, I'll protect the lower hanging fruit.
	They'll feel real happy about you.
	Really.
	Great.
	Great.
	What a moron.
	And what is he talking?
	I think he's talking about women's jobs.
	You know, secretary, secretarial work.
	Yeah, you know, you're going to be eliminated, women.
	I do not like him.
	And I think we're going to have to...
	Talk about a forecast.
	Talk about...
	That's a forecast.
	That is a forecast.
	It's very much a forecast.
	Because that's not what we're observing right now.
	What we're observing right now is productivity growth.
	And that's what you're talking about.
	About half a point per annum.
	And typically, since World War II... It's 2% per annum.
	And you're talking about something much bigger than that.
	Everybody's planning...
	Yeah, I'm not the economist to know how it's labeled or how it's determined, but what I can tell you is every company that I invest in, every startup that I invest in...
	The ultimate payoff is in replacing...
	I just invested in a company in Nashville called Higher Botics, and all they do is place robots in manufacturing lines.
	Now, there's still people that need to manage them, so people need to track them and all that, but the companies that lease these robots don't do it because it's less effective or less...
	Get your message straight, Mark.
	You're going nowhere with this.
	Well, I don't know what he's thinking because it has to just be, although they felt that way with Trump, it has to be a publicity stunt.
	But he doesn't have the, he doesn't have like a defined personality like Trump did.
	It could be taken further than just like He's not...
	In fact, he's just the opposite of appealing.
	He's unappealing at a very generalized level.
	In my core.
	He's very unappealing.
	The level of my core is where I don't like him.
	I've heard enough about him.
	He's not my kind of guy.
	There is some thought, I think, that will maybe...
	This is the political class dreaming this stuff up.
	They don't know what they're doing because they've been so befuddled by the Trump phenomenon.
	They think, well, maybe there's a sea change and only celebrities.
	It's like, Trump are going to get elected again.
	And there was this moment in history when Ronald Reagan was governor of California.
	We had another actor who was a U.S. senator.
	I forgot his name.
	George something.
	And he was a famous actor.
	And he got elected once or twice.
	And it was like everyone's thinking, well, maybe we just get actors to be congressmen.
	Oh, cue Oprah.
	And that never, that crapped out.
	Not everybody has the skill set to do any of this stuff.
	And this brings us to the topic of the day, which I have only one very short clip of, just because I find the whole conversation annoying.
	And we're being called out as protecting pedophiles for even discussing this on the show.
	about more.
	What is he?
	What's his name?
	Judge Moore.
	Yeah, Judge Moore.
	Yeah.
	You know, 40 years ago, this comes up now, just like Franken, just like everybody.
	when this is misused for political means, nobody really wins.
	But there was one piece of a clip here that I wanted to play that does kind of show you how the machine works.
	This is a recording of a WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, Jurno trying to get the dirt on Moore.
	Hi, this is Tony Tams, Tim.
	Seems pretty damning to me.
	Is that recording legit?
	I don't know.
	Well, that's been the rumor about this whole thing.
	It's headhunting.
	They've been offering a bounty to get any woman to come forward.
	So you're going to get some phonies.
	You're going to get some false positives.
	There's no doubt about that.
	I've got a more thing here.
	It's probably a hoax.
	It could be a hoax.
	Yeah, probably.
	But that is the rumor that's going around.
	I'm looking now.
	It's a hoax.
	I would tend to think it's a hoax.
	Yeah.
	But, just because the recording is a hoax, doesn't mean, although, WAPA wouldn't offer money for a story.
	That I just can't believe.
	No, they're not that hard up.
	Somebody else might offer money to give it to the WAPO. Somebody else might offer money, somebody running against Moore, and then tell them to call the WAPO, who's working on a story, that's much more likely.
	But let's listen to this little tidbit.
	This is a small sub-clip of a longer story on Moore, because I find the whole thing is kind of weird, but Judge Moore frock us CBS. The Roy Moore for Senate campaign took on one of the women accusing him of sexual assault.
	Aides raised doubts about handwriting evidence that appeared to show Moore knew the woman when she was a teenager.
	And still more accusers are coming forward.
	Dean Reynolds is in Birmingham, Alabama.
	I've known Judge Moore for 24 years.
	When these allegations came out within the last week, it was incredibly, incredibly painful for him, for his wife, his mom, his daughter.
	Aides to embattled Republican Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore tried to cast doubts today on at least one of the women who accused him of lecherous behavior when they were teenagers.
	Attorney Philip Jaregi said the accuser, Beverly Young Nelson, was not telling the truth about her contact with the judge and that her evidence, a signed yearbook greeting from the judge, may well be a forgery.
	Release the yearbook so that we can determine is it genuine or is it a fraud.
	Late today, a statewide news agency reported two Moore women had issues with Moore.
	One who said he grabbed her in 1991 when he was married, while the other said he tried to take her out in 1982 when she was in high school.
	When she asked Moore if he knew she was only 17, she says he replied, Yeah, I go out with girls your age all the time.
	They joined three women who've said Moore, then in his 30s, pursued them four decades ago, along with Nelson and another woman who further alleged that he assaulted them.
	Moore has said those charges are false.
	In the week since the accusations surfaced, Moore has steadily lost support from Republicans who don't want him as a colleague on Capitol Hill.
	Even Richard Shelby, Alabama's other Republican senator, will vote for someone else.
	I will be writing in a distinguished Republican Yeah, I keep hearing about this write-in stuff.
	What's up with that?
	Well, they're going to probably start a write-in campaign in the last minute and try to get every Republican to get the word out.
	I mean, this has worked in the past at that level when Lisa Murkowski won the Alaskan senatorial election as a write-in candidate.
	Hmm.
	At the last minute, she was kicked.
	She was booted by the Tea Party candidate.
	And it got everybody all bent out of shape because her base of support that allowed her to get re-elected year after year was both parties.
	It was the Democrats and the Republicans.
	So you could gang up on the Republican side and make her look like a stooge.
	And so they did.
	They bounced her.
	And so she got irked about it and ran as a writing candidate and won.
	So this can happen.
	This can work.
	But the thing about this particular report is that you can see this.
	We see the pattern here.
	We're seeing it with Hillary.
	We see it with that...
	No agenda quote that was floating around Twitter where you said that you were waiting for the next shoe to drop and I said there's already five shoes that have dropped.
	Talking about Hillary.
	And that's what they do.
	One comes out, then two, then three.
	And then they wait to see what happens.
	The guy doesn't bail.
	Then another one, another one, another one.
	And they keep doing this.
	But the yearbook thing is the one that kind of gets...
	They won't let anyone examine this yearbook.
	Okay, I was in high school.
	I have high school yearbooks.
	I know how this works.
	You're in high school.
	You got your yearbook.
	They hand out the yearbooks.
	By the way, this is a phenomenon that is only known in America, as far as I'm concerned.
	So we probably should explain a little more.
	As far as you know.
	I've been around.
	I'm just saying, as far as you know, it's not a matter of whether you're concerned or not.
	The point is that I can tell you what the process is.
	You get the yearbooks.
	You usually have them at school that day.
	And then you pass them around.
	Everyone passes them around in each class.
	And everyone signs something or makes a joke or writes something.
	And maybe they sign it.
	Maybe they don't.
	Or put a heart over the eyes and stuff like that.
	And it just happens.
	Did you do that?
	A heart over the eyes?
	No, people did that on mine.
	There's a lot of girls that put hearts over their eyes.
	John Charles.
	He's so journey.
	And let me finish.
	So, what is a 30, 40 year old guy doing signing the yearbook?
	Hmm.
	I never had my parents sign the yearbook.
	I didn't take the yearbook out on the street and say, hey, would you say, pastors, will you sign my yearbook?
	I never took it to...
	If I had an older boyfriend, if I was a girl or anything, or I was a boy or whatever, I wouldn't have...
	They got nothing to do with it.
	They're not in the class.
	They're not in the school.
	It's about the class.
	It's about the school.
	It's not about some...
	It's not about my aunt Betsy grabbing my yearbook and writing a thing in there.
	It's got nothing to do with her.
	This is bullshit.
	More importantly, do you still have any of your yearbooks?
	Of course I do.
	You do?
	I'm sorry, you're an archivist.
	What am I thinking?
	I don't have a single yearbook.
	Never got one.
	Never attended a school that had one.
	You didn't go to American high schools.
	No, I know.
	It was part of the journalism class.
	I don't know how these things began, but it was the journalism class.
	All these schools, I don't know what it's like today, but in those days, you could be on the school newspaper if you had any interest in journalism, or you could be on the school yearbook committee, which was also a bunch of journalists, because they wrote all the stuff that's in there.
	They're the ones who organized it.
	They decided what pictures to go in it.
	It was all done at the school level by the students.
	And that's, it was a project.
	And you ended up with a book, a published book at the end.
	It was very, I guess, great, fun to do.
	I mean, I was on the newspaper and never did this yearbook.
	And so it was like a process.
	It was like a learning experience for kids to do these things and publishing.
	Hmm.
	But it was very specific to the school.
	I don't know if I could go through any of my yearbooks and find one person that either wasn't in my class or wasn't in my individual classrooms.
	My mom didn't sign it.
	So there's something fishy about that yearbook story.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Again, you know, when it gets politicized, then it's a problem.
	And you would think a guy like this, who is clearly an evil, the child predator, would have more examples than just 40 years ago.
	He just gave up on it.
	It's like, ah, that's no fun anymore.
	I don't like it.
	Yeah, it should be.
	You think it'd be a little more.
	You learn from watching TV that once you get a set in a pattern...
	Serial killers are a good example.
	It actually gets worse.
	He should own a strip club by now.
	Hiring underage girls.
	The real underage girl story comes to us via actor Tom Sizemore.
	Oh, yes.
	This is a good one.
	Tom Sizemore is accused of touching an 11-year-old girl's genitals while filming a movie in 2003.
	According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sizemore was sent home from the set of Born Killers in Utah after the young actress told her mother what had allegedly happened.
	However, Sizemore participated in reshoots several months after the alleged incident, and the film was released in 2005.
	At the time, the allegations were not made public as the child's parents opted not to press charges.
	However, the unnamed former actress, now 26, revealed she's hired a lawyer and is pursuing her legal options regarding both Sizemore and her parents.
	Sizemore's agent, Stephen Rice, told THR, our position is no comment.
	I love the music, too.
	Very nice.
	I think all news eventually will be having music like that.
	That was Good Morning America's website, so yeah.
	So this is interesting.
	I just lost my screen.
	Oh, is this the Windows machine that's finally screwing up?
	No, this is the Mac.
	Hold on.
	Hello.
	So I can...
	Everything's still working, but it's just not showing on the screen.
	Uh-oh.
	Well, that's not good.
	This is very bad.
	Take your hands and bang, bang, bang on the keyboards.
	No, let's not do that.
	Hit the escape button.
	I don't know what...
	It just flickered out.
	Oh, boy.
	Is this the big giant screen?
	Yeah.
	Maybe it's the big giant screen crapped out.
	Could be.
	Oh, it's back.
	Maybe there's a cable.
	Hold on.
	Maybe there's a cable loose.
	Hold on.
	Come on, let me check.
	It all seems fine.
	I have no idea what that way.
	I'm concerned about it.
	It's running on the MacBook Pro.
	That's what I'm worried about.
	I think that thing has got some problems.
	Remember the Wi-Fi was dropping out and stuff?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	Time to make the transition complete.
	Anyway, sorry.
	I interrupted and I don't know where we were.
	We were actually pretty done.
	You were talking about Sizemore.
	You talked about grabbing somebody and now she's suing her parents and Sizemore and who knows who after she got to be 26 years old.
	She sees all this action going around her.
	You know, why not?
	Maybe she can cash in.
	That's what she's thinking.
	Possibly.
	I mean, there's a lot of that.
	We live in interesting times.
	And the greatest thing is, you and I don't have to worry about anything.
	We're podcasters.
	We're podcasters.
	B, we're not douchebags.
	Certainly stuff I've said could get me in big trouble these days if I were at a job.
	I've said to tons of people, I love your hair, great dress, all these things that are taboo.
	Bad.
	Bad.
	Very, very bad.
	Well, I... I would like the contrast.
	You know, I was thinking about this when I got this clip.
	I have a clip from 1955, from a 1955 movie.
	This is a movie called The Tender Trap with Celeste Holmes, Debbie Reynolds, Frank Sinatra, and David Wayne.
	It's the three characters in this particular scene.
	And I was watching this clip.
	I said, oh, this is a perfect clip for the No Agenda show.
	As I was thinking about how to use this clip, I was thinking, what kind of propaganda?
	It's like the movies and mass media tell us how to act and what to do and what's acceptable, what's not acceptable.
	And this particular clip exhibits a number of features that would be rejected by today's culture strongly.
	But when you think about it, does it I mean, that we're right, or that maybe the messaging then was for the times, or was it better messaging?
	Is the messaging changed?
	Has it been corrupted?
	All I know is a lot different.
	You know, and we have talked about this on previous shows, where, you know, yeah, stuff was acceptable then, or it was more acceptable, and how that changed over time, and what the reasons were.
	So I'm excited to hear this.
	What, 1959, you said?
	1955.
	This is your first professional show, isn't it?
	Yes.
	Well, aren't you just a little bit excited about breaking through for the first time out?
	Oh, the theater's all right, but only temporarily.
	Do you think you're taking up something else?
	Well, yes.
	Marriage, I hope.
	Oh.
	Did you have any particular young man in mind?
	Well, there are any number of young men, but I haven't found mine yet.
	Well, a pretty young thing like you shouldn't have much trouble.
	Well, I certainly hope not.
	I mean, a career is just fine, but it's no substitute for marriage.
	Don't you think so, Miss Cruz?
	Miss Gillis, I think so.
	Passionately, I think so.
	Honestly, don't you think marriage is just the most important thing in the world?
	I mean, a woman isn't really a woman at all until she's been married and had children.
	And why?
	Because she's fulfilled.
	Isn't that right?
	Right.
	You agree?
	Of course I do.
	What red-blooded American boy doesn't?
	This red-blooded American boy doesn't.
	Why not?
	Well, in order to be fulfilled, you have to have a man, and it might be just possible that what fulfills you might not fulfill him.
	My man it will.
	You have his specifications?
	Well, yes.
	I know everything except his blood type.
	Tell us about it.
	You mean it?
	Because this is something I could talk about all day.
	You're on, Miss Gillis.
	Well, the first thing I want in a man, he's got to love children.
	How many do you think you'd like?
	Three.
	That's the magic number.
	But not right away.
	The first two years we're going to live in New York.
	I mean, we'll be young and we'll want to have lots of fun and there's no better place to have fun than New York, is there?
	The children will come later.
	But not in New York.
	No, we'll move to the country for that.
	Oh, probably the first baby will be born in New York.
	At what hospital?
	At doctor's...
	Oh, you're kidding me.
	Never mind him.
	Tell us some more.
	We really are interested.
	Fascinated.
	Look, I know this sounds crazy if you don't know me, but people that know me think it's quite normal.
	I'm sure they do, Miss Gillis.
	You have a house in the country and the baby.
	And now what do you do?
	I have two more babies.
	I didn't say a thing.
	Yes?
	Well, when the kids get out of Scarsdale Public High School...
	Oh, Scarsdale!
	Well, certainly.
	Everyone knows they have the best school system in the country.
	Of course, everybody knows that.
	Now, Joe...
	I mean it.
	Everybody in Indianapolis sends their kids to Scarsdale.
	I've been kidded about this before.
	But I do know what I want.
	That's good.
	The only thing I really hear different between then and now is when she says, I want to have three kids.
	Today she would say, I want to have three kids, one of each gender.
	There's 60 genders.
	She's going to have to have a lot of kids.
	Yeah, 63.
	63.
	63 is the magic number.
	You know, if you read the fine work known as Industrial Society and its Future, it starts off explaining how this, in particular, how women were treated, but how it changed words.
	Like, you couldn't call women broads.
	Ah, she's a great broad.
	They hate it.
	But men became dudes.
	You really have to read this work.
	It's by Professor Ted.
	Industrial Society and its Future.
	Yeah, I've heard of it.
	Yes, and it's also known as the Unabomber Manifesto.
	Strangely, strangely.
	All kinds of documentaries, but no one really says, hey, maybe I should go read that thing.
	Maybe he had something to say.
	But he talks about this quite extensively, and really, the political correctness comes from this change.
	I'm not saying it's wrong.
	There's a lot wrong with what I hear.
	But it's also the emancipation of women.
	No woman in her right mind would talk like that anymore.
	So, in other words, it's situational ethics.
	So things are the way they are at the moment.
	Generational ethics.
	Because, you know, talking about the broad, oh, it makes them mad.
	It makes who mad?
	I saw Elaine Stritch before she died on Theater Talk, a show that I frequent, if I'm going to go to New York, to go to a theater.
	And she, who has played the battle axe on 30 Rock, the mother of the CEO, And she called herself abroad and made all kinds of things.
	It was like a phrase she loved.
	Yeah.
	Where she was 90.
	Generational.
	All words have become bad.
	The question is, is which generation is correct?
	Yeah, that's a good question.
	I like politeness, personally.
	That's all.
	Politeness is dead.
	Yes.
	Let me write that down.
	48, 41.
	Good.
	We'll take that.
	Let's see.
	While we're on these similar topics, I have a fine example of bi...
	What is this?
	He calls himself bi...
	Is he maybe biracial?
	I don't know.
	This is a...
	His name is Jadu.
	Lives in America.
	He was born as a white male named Adam.
	He now has decided he's going to call him...
	He's a Filipino.
	See, today you can do anything.
	And he's taken it to such an extreme that he's not just any old Filipino.
	No, he drives a tuk-tuk, which really completes the picture.
	If you've never seen it, Bing it right now.
	It's a tuk-tuk.
	Yeah, they use them a lot in the Philippines.
	Whenever I'm around the music, I'm around the food, I feel like I'm in my own skin.
	I'd watch the History Channel sometimes for hours.
	You know, whenever it came to that.
	And, you know, nothing else intrigued me more but, you know, things about, you know, Filipino culture.
	I think if you're unhappy with who you are and you change yourself for the better and that makes you happy, you know, go for it.
	But I would never say it was a privilege to, you know, be unhappy with yourself all the time.
	Well, the funny thing is...
	You know, I had to make sure that it wasn't just me because if it's just me, then there must be something wrong or maybe I'm just strange.
	So, you know, I created the group in hopes of, you know, getting our message out in a bottle.
	And people started to join.
	People started to message me about, you know, their conflictions with themselves.
	My family knows about my transsexuality, but they don't know anything about this.
	It's just my mom is kind of an older world person.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I just think that telling her something like that is just too wild.
	I believe that we all have the freedoms to pursue happiness in our own ways.
	We can pursue intimacy with whatever partner we want.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	I, by the way...
	I think that...
	Remember the woman who was in the NAACP who had the darkened her skin?
	She said she was black and she's a white redhead from Scarsdale.
	Yes.
	I was always on her side.
	Because you're going to be in for...
	I don't want to use all these cornball phrases from the shades, but if you're going to be in for a dollar, you're in for a dime.
	In for a dime, in for a dollar, whatever...
	She had gone all the way decided that she self-identified as a black person.
	Yes.
	So how can you condemn her?
	In this environment where you have 63 genders, and those are, oh, that's okay to be a Xi or a they or whatever you want to be amongst these 63.
	I don't even know what all the pronouns are.
	If that's okay, how come this isn't okay?
	This guy's on the right track.
	Just be whatever you want.
	You want to be a black guy?
	You want to be a Chinese?
	I mean, the guy who runs SoftBank.
	There's an example.
	He's Korean, but he's self-identified as a Japanese.
	Really?
	And he sued the Japanese.
	But the Koreans hate the Japanese.
	And the Japanese hate the Koreans.
	Interesting.
	But he works as a Japanese businessman.
	But hold on a second.
	Does he have a Japanese passport just because he said, I'm Japanese?
	Yes.
	Does that work?
	Can I do that?
	He did more than that.
	He went through a rigmarole to become a Japanese.
	That's fantastic.
	Because he needed to be a Japanese to do what he's doing because he's in Japan.
	He wants to be a Japanese company.
	He wanted all this.
	And he self-identified as a Japanese and now he claims to be a Japanese.
	He's not.
	He's a Korean.
	And this, I don't see this being a problem at any level if you're going to take any of it.
	Either you reject it all or you take it all.
	Okay.
	And that means that you can just show up from Mexico or any other South American country at the border and say, I'm American.
	Let me in.
	Give me my papers.
	That would be probably a logical end result, yes.
	I think it's defensible.
	I think it is too if you're going to take that approach.
	Huh.
	If you've got 63 genders, this is nothing compared to that.
	We're all going to die.
	I prefer it.
	That's why maybe the Debbie Reynolds clip was kind of interesting, because things have changed to such an extreme.
	But if you're going to be able to do what this Filipino kid did, which he's not Filipino, but he is now, and I think he is now.
	Interesting.
	Well, we might as well play your, well, we both have the clip.
	Oh, it's only 14 seconds, your Australia news.
	What did I have here?
	I have a longer clip.
	It's the same.
	It's the same topic.
	This one.
	Two months after Australia popped the question to its voters, an emphatic answer came on Wednesday.
	61.6% of clear responses were yes.
	Australians voting overwhelmingly in favour of same-sex marriage, paving the way for legislation to make it legal.
	And Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull isn't wasting any time in getting on with it.
	Get on with the job the Australian people have tasked us to do and get this done this year before Christmas.
	A same-sex marriage bill has already been introduced since the number came out.
	Reuters' Tom Westbrook explains what's expected to happen next.
	It's got the numbers to get through Parliament.
	When you add the socially progressive wing of the right-wing coalition that's in government, Plus the left-wing Labour Party that's promised to pass this bill.
	There's enough numbers in both houses to get this legalised.
	But Turnbull does face some strong opposition from within his own party, from a sort of splinter group of hardline Conservatives who are worried about religious freedoms.
	That means there'll be a whole sort of season of wrangling amendments to these bills and it's not really clear how long that's going to take or where that might end.
	But regardless of what plays out politically, Australians have spoken.
	The announcement met by colourful celebrations across the country, as well as praise from around the world.
	Ellen DeGeneres, who's married to Australian actress Portia de Rossi...
	Completely not necessary to put this in the report, but okay.
	...playing on Twitter.
	It's a good day.
	Way to go, Australia.
	Almost 8 out of 10 Australian voters took part in the postal survey, a higher percentage turnout than Britain's Brexit vote and Ireland's same-sex marriage referendum.
	The result marks a watershed moment for gay rights in Australia, where homosexual activity was illegal in some states until 1997.
	Wow.
	Bunch of homophobes.
	I think there's a lot of homophobies, and I think it was reflected in the reporting, and that gratuitous mention you cited.
	But I've seen, when this story first broke, I'm looking at the news reports, and instead of, like, when the gay marriage thing broke in San Francisco and some of these other places, you'd see this kind of an attractive, happy couple.
	Yes.
	The Australian reports always have two goofball looking guys with one missing teeth and they're both bald.
	This report, interesting you bring that up, this report had rather homely, obese looking lesbian women.
	Yeah, all these reports coming out of Australia make it look as though if you're gay, you're really weird looking.
	You're ugly.
	And ugly.
	Interestingly, I've heard nothing.
	Good work, Aussies!
	I've heard nothing from our Australian producers.
	No one has really said anything.
	I don't think they, at least the people who listen to our show don't care.
	Whatever.
	Probably don't care.
	Government shouldn't be in the marriage business.
	I care about the coverage with some of the pictures they're showing.
	That is interesting.
	I hadn't thought about that.
	In fact, I did.
	I saw it like, oh, man, they really put some interesting people in that report.
	But now that your report had, you know, weird-looking guys with no teeth, eh.
	That's a toothless guy.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for Casanova Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships to the sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air.
	Subs in the water.
	And all the dames and nights out there.
	Yes, in the morning to everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	We also call that the troll room.
	That's where it all really takes place.
	We appreciate you showing up.
	And I'd like to say in the morning to Comic Strip blogger who brought us the artwork for episode 9 or 8-1.
	And this was the Harvard logo with Alpha November Alpha Lima, or also known as the Advanced Network Analysis Language, abbreviated on the front.
	Yeah.
	Also known as anal.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	You got me.
	Sometimes you do have to explain them.
	Yeah.
	Well, we appreciate the work and all the work our artists do.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Go ahead and check that out.
	And you may even want to contribute.
	You never know.
	It gets used for all kinds of things.
	The pre-show tweet, the newsletter.
	We love it.
	Everybody loves it.
	It makes our show better.
	Thank you.
	So we got our...
	The random...
	$700 donations from Sir Onimus of Dogpatch.
	Why do you think it's random?
	Because it comes in randomly.
	It doesn't come in.
	He says it comes in routinely, but I check it.
	It comes in sometimes for Thursday's show, sometimes for Sunday.
	Then you don't hear from him for a month.
	But it's always the same number.
	No, that's kind of random, too.
	But generally speaking, it's $700.
	Unless he's trying to tell us something.
	What he's trying to tell.
	Well, you can just write it.
	He sends a note.
	What did he say on his note?
	This is one of our most mysterious supporters, and I like him.
	Yeah, he does.
	Or her.
	We don't know.
	He travels.
	We know he travels.
	Yeah.
	It could be a woman who just decided to be a sir.
	It's all possible.
	Congratulations for surviving the longest two weeks in the universe.
	It was great to hear the stories from long-time subscribers jumping to knighthood with your twofer offer.
	Oh, nice.
	Congratulations to the subscriptionaires that made the jump.
	The significant number of first-time donor InstaNight suggests a successful financial 10-year anniversary sales promotion.
	But like any sales promotion, did you bring 2018 donations into 2017?
	Yes.
	Time will tell.
	In other words, was it a screw-up?
	Which I mentioned in the last newsletter.
	But, you know, whatever works.
	I encourage first-time donor instant nights to accept their nightly responsibilities and make up the discount over time.
	Having a title without accepting a responsibility is like bitching about politics but not voting.
	You are no longer virgins.
	Like sex, contributing once in a while is good for the heart.
	What does he mean by that?
	Well, contributing is good.
	There was this study that we talked about on the show that makes you feel better.
	Oh, I thought he meant contributing during sex.
	I got it.
	No, like sex.
	Okay, got it.
	Value for...
	I don't know how you do that.
	Anyway, what are you doing?
	Contributing.
	I'm contributing.
	I'm contributing to a No Agenda show.
	What?
	Value for value during this celebration was difficult to assess.
	Twice as long, half the news.
	But you're still my only...
	Yeah, we noticed this.
	But you're still my only major news source, and from what I gleaned from discussions and meetings, you covered what I needed, so thanks.
	Monthly subscription closed.
	You missed the obvious House of Trolls trigger word, hot news!
	Hot news.
	I got hot news, yes.
	It triggers the algos.
	Yeah, I think the Algos are listening for hot news.
	Uh-oh, time to retweet this one.
	Could be.
	Does he need anything?
	No, NJNK. He puts that on the end of it.
	No, it's NJNK. Timothy Pearson, Austin, Texas.
	Right down the street from you, 33333.
	He'll be our second executive producer.
	We have two in one today.
	John, I've been a traveling contractor, upgrading, working on an aviation restructuring plan.
	And then he mentions the manned-unmanned teaming, which is worth looking up.
	Kind of interesting.
	Manned-unmanned teaming?
	Yeah, man-to-unmanned teaming.
	In a nutshell, you're a jet pilot, and you have control of a drone flying alongside you.
	And then you tell the drone to go down and do some surveillance around some area that you don't want to get shot at.
	And the drone does that, and you have your screen on your jet.
	You say, oh, that's clear.
	Let's go down there.
	Actually, it seems to be more for helicopters.
	No, it's for jets.
	Oh, okay.
	I have a page here from the U.S. Department.
	I take it back.
	I take it back.
	It's for jets and, yeah, choppers.
	Apaches.
	Yeah, Apaches.
	Specifically, so they got all that gear.
	And so it's the latest thing.
	But he says, I believe this fits into Adam's and your theory of the CIA on the rock and the military intelligence on a roll.
	Ah, right.
	Thank you for keeping me sane in a country brainwashed by the M5M. Love and Light, Kilo Golf 5, Romeo Tango, Quebec, 73s.
	73s, Kilo 5, Alpha, Charlie, Charlie.
	And they have an acronym for it, MUMPT. Stupid army.
	MUMPT. M-U-M-T, MUMPT. Did they really talk like that?
	Can I get some MUMPT over here?
	Yeah.
	Okay, we need two jingles.
	Alrighty.
	Should have mentioned them earlier.
	Oreos are too delicious, are like cocaine, and too delicious to believe as the follow-up, which is a nice combo.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Someone sent me the perfect one from that.
	There's another thing I gotta...
	And a karma?
	No, he doesn't say karma.
	Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	Hee hee hee.
	That's a good combo.
	It is a good combo.
	All right.
	And now we drop to our associate executive producer, Sir Ronald Gardner in San Diego, 200 bucks.
	And he says, please accept his 200 bucks on behalf of my son, Jace Gardner.
	Please give him a good dedouching and goat scream karma.
	Since his Please add him to the birthday list.
	He is on the list.
	Yes.
	We will take care of him.
	Great work.
	Yes.
	And what a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Now, since we have lots of time in this segment, I want to get some of these errors out of the way.
	Ah, yes.
	We had a couple of make-goods, I think.
	One of them, I think, is already included, but I got this, too.
	I actually sent an email to you the day before the anniversary, so it says to my first-time donor, I had no idea what to leave a note or blah, blah, blah.
	Thank you for your dedication, and this is from Andrew Parker.
	Thank you for your dedication, thoughtful deconstruction of the media.
	It's outstanding.
	My friend Paul Goulet hit me in the mouth approximately 1.5 years ago.
	1.5.
	On the way to a sectional tennis tournament.
	I have been hooked ever since.
	This is my first donation.
	A de-douching is in order.
	You've been de-douched.
	Sadly, sadly, I must call out Paul and his wife Stephanie as freeloading douchebags.
	They have been listening for years.
	Your show has enriched...
	Our friendship even more, and I appreciate everything you guys do, so here's the value for the invaluable that you two have provided for us.
	Our tennis friends know not to ever say anything that sounds like, and there's just a bunch of hacks right here.
	I can't read this.
	A round doesn't.
	One aside is another Unicode here I can't read.
	This is brought up a few episodes ago regarding John McCain and millennials.
	I apologize, Mr.
	Dvorak, but as a late millennial myself, something about you is endearing.
	As a cantankerous grandpa.
	It's the Bernie effect.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Love you too, Adam, and your dramatic Facebook post readings, which we haven't done for a while.
	Now, he has some jingles that are backed up, and we might as well give them.
	Sorry, I didn't do this earlier.
	Mm-hmm.
	At the end, he wants medical school karma.
	He wants Yoko, accompanied by me playing the recorder.
	I guess he wants a double hit of horrible.
	Putin, don't worry, be happy.
	And John saying, it's a scam.
	And we reject the last one, which is the goat scream.
	Okay, well, there is something as goat scream karma, which we've been doing.
	Yeah, why don't you give him that?
	That'd be medical school karma, same thing.
	Yes, goat scream karma.
	Okay.
	But it also includes baby-making karma for Paul and Steph, the douchebags.
	Ah, the old in and out, eh?
	Okay, so you know what to do.
	I know where to fall in.
	Okay, good.
	Good.
	Oh, God.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	All right.
	No, you're supposed to be...
	No, you messed it up.
	You're supposed to say, it's a scam.
	You messed the whole thing up.
	I thought I was going to play the clip.
	It's a scam.
	No, you got to say it.
	It's a scam.
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	Got another one here.
	This one, this is a good amount of money.
	Oh, this one's already been, I think Eric's got it on there.
	This is Mark Taylor.
	He's listed on there.
	I can do him right now.
	Oh, okay, do that.
	He says, please, he's already been, he was already knighted during the donation palooza.
	So this is made good.
	He says, okay, I don't need to be knighted again, obviously, but please accept my donation that when double will push me over the edge of knighthood.
	I would like to be knighted, Sir Hip Old Guy of Southeast Austin, another Austinite.
	We should hang out.
	You should have an Austin meet-up and they can break the envelope.
	The envelope, please!
	I've enjoyed your show since episode one!
	Was Austin even a city at the time?
	I don't think so.
	I love the truthiness of it all.
	So ITM to you both and thanks for producing TBPCITU. I would like Rent Boys and Gin& Tonic.
	That's why we have them all ready for you.
	Clips, Hillary birthday.
	Cupcake.
	Don't eat me, Hillary.
	Goat scream.
	Look at all that juice and karma.
	I think he means this.
	This is just so beautiful.
	Thank you, Donald Trump.
	Thank you, my cupcake.
	Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Karma.
	Okay, I got another one here.
	This is Bill Perrin, and this is, just take your pen out.
	He was, everything was fine, except you didn't list him on the executive producer credits for show 976.
	I said we'll put him on today.
	Okay.
	On the credits or also as a knight?
	Both, I guess.
	No, no, no, no.
	He's already a knight.
	Everything's done.
	Okay, so what's his name?
	No, no, no.
	What's his name?
	B-I-L-L-P-E-R-R-I-N. And he'll be the executive producer.
	Okay.
	He's Sir Bill of...
	No, use his surname.
	Oh, Sir Bill of Osaka.
	Yeah.
	Bill of Osaka.
	We gotta go to Japan.
	We don't have enough people in Osaka.
	We gotta go to Japan, man.
	Gotta go to Japan.
	Andrew Parker.
	He says everything was done, but his email was never read, even though he donated enough money for it.
	It should have been read.
	Thank you for your outstanding and thoughtful deconstruction of the M5M. It's outstanding.
	Thank you.
	Oh, well, this is one we just read a minute ago.
	Same thing.
	Good work.
	You know what?
	He sent it in twice.
	That's the problem.
	Okay, there we go.
	Ray Jacobson.
	We've been talking about him for a while.
	He said he wanted Simple House Buying Karma for his donation, which was a twofer.
	House buying karma was in the memo of the online bill-paying check.
	For your information, a previous donation with a karma request resulted in winning a free iPad at a business seminar.
	Boom!
	What?
	So there's something to this.
	Wow.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, I like that.
	My father passed away with a reverse mortgage and now we have to pay off the reverse mortgage or sell the house.
	My sister is very ill, legally disabled, with a hernia operation which went bad and needs a place to stay.
	The property has a guest house which is generating $1,800 a month income through Airbnb.
	If you're ever in Ashland, Virginia area, you can stay there.
	We have some credit card challenges.
	My mortgage payments have been denied.
	He goes on.
	So a quick house buying karma would be appreciated.
	Love the show.
	Okay.
	You've got karma.
	One last little change.
	This is, again, an accounting change.
	Stephen Jaffe.
	Last week I made an instant donation for my son Spencer Jaffe, but Adam knighted me.
	No.
	I'm already a knight, Sir Circumstance.
	The correct hashtag would be Spencer Jaffe, Sir Edgewise, knight of the border wall.
	So why don't we just, we're at an item today, I said.
	Okay, so again, it's Jaffe, what?
	Spencer Jaffe.
	Spencer Jaffe.
	Spencer Edgewise, Knight of the Border Wall.
	He says, I'll leave it up to your discretion if it requires a new ceremony.
	I will tell you that I remember this name and I remember reading it, but it's okay.
	I don't remember the border wall thing.
	I would have remembered that.
	I remember these things.
	Okay, well, we'll do it again.
	That's right.
	We'll bash his other shoulder.
	And here's the last one.
	So, this is the end of this little list.
	Yes.
	I didn't hear my name on the nightings in 976.
	I thought I might have missed it.
	It was a hell of an episode.
	Let me read it like he's written it.
	I didn't hear my name on the nightings of the episode 976.
	I thought I might have missed it.
	It was a hell of an episode.
	But I went to the show notes and listened to nightings again today and to see my name listed as executive producer.
	And you did read my note, but I was not properly knighted.
	After listening a second time, poor Adam was getting hoarse toward the end.
	Almost eight hours of nonstop podcasting was truly amazing.
	Congratulations again on ten years.
	So he has his original note here.
	What's his name again?
	His name is Matt Ferrell.
	M-A-T-T-F-E-R-R-E-L-L. Got it.
	And he doesn't give himself any sort of fancy name.
	Sir Matt.
	Okay.
	And that is the end.
	And if you have another problem, anyone out there, we didn't do anything right, use ERROR in all caps in the subject line.
	I do a SORT before the show and look at what we got.
	And is everyone following this instruction well?
	Do they do it all uppercase?
	No, some of them don't.
	All uppercase is preferred, but some of them don't.
	And some of them add a little extra stuff.
	And some of them, which is the real problem here, and I want to say what it is, When they do a follow-up note to say thanks for correcting, you know, I got more than a few thanks for correcting that have the subject line error.
	Yeah, that's not helpful, people.
	No.
	Okay.
	I appreciate the thank you notes, but not with that subject line.
	And we both thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for today's program.
	That is really appreciated.
	It's always tough after a big celebration like that, so people supporting us with a value model is great.
	And we have another show coming up on Sunday.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. So, you should be out there doing the important work of propagating the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out.
	We'll hear people in the mouth.
	That's right, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, time once again for Auntie Maxine.
	She's on the scene, Maxine!
	Always ready to do what needs to be done.
	She takes no prisoners.
	Did you see her at the Glamour Awards?
	I did not.
	This is a rather long clip, but I think it's worth listening to all of what she has to say.
	So Glamour Magazine is a magazine, and they have their own award show, as you do.
	Then we know how those work.
	We all have a lunch, and we decide who's going to win.
	We just sit around with...
	That's the way it works.
	Yeah, it's like, we're going to give an award to this year.
	I know!
	Let's get Maxine Waters!
	She's a fan favorite!
	Wow!
	Wow!
	Thank you so very, very much.
	Let me take a moment to thank Glamour for honoring me this evening.
	I feel so very special, and I thank you for all of the other women who are being honored here this evening.
	I've decided that she actually suffers from narcissism.
	When you listen, everything is about her.
	It's not really about what she wants to do with the president.
	I'm going to impeach Trump.
	I, I, I, I. People say, don't do it.
	I'm going to do it.
	This is very special.
	Thank you for thanking me.
	And to Glamour, just let me say this.
	That what you do here this evening in honoring us really does confirm that you appreciate all of the work that we attempt to do to bring about justice and equality in this society, in our country, and in this world.
	And when she says we, she means I. A big round of applause for Glamour.
	Thank you, Glamour.
	Thank you.
	To the young women in the audience here this evening and especially those up in the balcony.
	I am so pleased to see the interest and concern that you are showing in what is happening at the highest levels of government.
	I see you and I hear you.
	And I encourage you not only to vote, to register, to get involved, but I want you to organize.
	I want you to join progressive organizations.
	I want you to seek out opportunities to serve on boards, and I want you to do everything that you can to get ready to run for office.
	Good message.
	I like that.
	This is your time.
	So I'm claiming my time.
	And I want you to claim your time.
	You are smart.
	You are bright.
	You are intelligent.
	And I don't want you to be intimidated by anything or anybody.
	You see what is happening at the highest levels of government.
	And I want you to know that you have the opportunity to do something about it.
	This is your country, this is your future, and our democracy is at stake.
	And so, not only am I depending on all of the progressives everywhere, but I'm depending on young people.
	I'm depending on the millennials to do what we know they can do.
	You see again what is going on?
	You understand who is being disadvantaged.
	You understand who is being undermined.
	And you also understand those who would intimidate you and try to dismiss you and keep you from becoming what you want to become.
	Trust yourselves.
	Do not doubt yourselves.
	Do what you know your mind and your heart is telling Good message.
	Good.
	And ladies and gentlemen, and to our young people in particular.
	All right.
	Now pay attention, young people.
	You recognize when a leader is irresponsible.
	You recognize when a leader is dishonorable and disrespectful of you.
	You recognize when a leader is dangerous, even if that leader is the president of the United States of America.
	And I want you to have the courage.
	I want you to know that you can stand up to him or anybody else.
	And for those who say to me, you are asking for something too soon and too early.
	Be careful.
	Don't jeopardize yourself.
	Don't say what you're saying right now.
	but I continue to say, "Impeach him!" Impeach him!
	Impeach 45! - Oh my God!
	Impeach 45!
	I didn't hear you impeach 45!
	Thank you!
	Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much.
	My millennials, stay woke!
	Wow.
	What an insane maniac.
	This is, you know, if she were speaking German, it would have sounded like Hitler with that crowd.
	Oh, I know, it sounded just like Hitler.
	Yeah.
	Heil Hitler!
	Heil Hitler!
	I mean, that is out there.
	The editors must be...
	I wonder what the editors are thinking.
	That was a mistake.
	Oh, come on.
	They invited her because that's what she wants.
	Well maybe but it just seems like it's an embarrassment to the magazine Pretty much the same thing You know, apparently people are telling her, no, don't risk your status.
	You could be president, Maxine.
	You could be president.
	Don't do that.
	What is it with all the old people running for president, including our current one?
	I'm a little tired of that.
	Yeah.
	I know, they can't find anybody.
	You know, I saw the other night, I saw...
	I mean, you got Tulsi.
	Tulsi should run.
	I like Tulsi.
	Also, the attorney general for Missouri was on Tucker the other night.
	And I forget exactly what he was on for.
	But I'm like, this is an interesting guy.
	Young guy, smart guy.
	He could even be a Democrat.
	I don't know.
	It doesn't matter.
	That could be a...
	He has presidential qualities.
	I have to look him up.
	I know what you mean.
	I feel the same way.
	Yeah, just get someone with, you know, Josh Hawley is his name.
	Let me see.
	Is he a Republican?
	Okay.
	Yeah, I like him a lot.
	Now he's running for Senate in the 2018 election.
	Okay.
	That's the path, right?
	Senator and President.
	No, no, no, that's not the path.
	The path is governor, then president.
	Obama became senator for one session and then was president.
	That's because he was only there for one session, and that's why he never voted on anything.
	He always voted present.
	He didn't vote on half the bills because if you're in the Senate, you show your cards by having to vote on certain legislation.
	If you're a governor, like Reagan was, you're a governor, you can show that you've governed, but you're not voting, you're not making bills, you're not showing your cards, but you're an executive, which is what the president is.
	He's an executive.
	So the standard route that's the best route, you can do it any way you want.
	But the best route, Kennedy was a senator, Clinton was a Hillary, she lost, she was a senator, but she was also Secretary of State, so she can kind of cover up her past.
	Obama, you're right, those are recent, but those are all quickies.
	The old-fashioned way is you become governor, you show you're an executive, you're in a big state, Ohio, California, New York, you run.
	Got it.
	Well, then the guy's going down the wrong path.
	Yeah, but if he's not, if he's going to, well, let's see, 2020.
	He won't be in that long.
	He might be able to pull it off.
	But he's a Republican, and they're not going to pull Trump, no matter what anyone thinks.
	It'd be crazy.
	I think Trump would quit.
	I think he could quit.
	I'm not going to quit.
	It wouldn't surprise me if he quit.
	I'm just looking at Twitter, and you still have your verification badge.
	Yeah.
	The great unverification has begun.
	Yes, I tweeted about this saying, yeah, Twitter, for anyone out there who doesn't know, Twitter's just, you know, everyone knows what it is.
	But they're going to start taking the check marks off of people if they disagree with the way they think.
	I always thought the check marks were to prove that you are who you say you are.
	It was so if you send a note to some famous celebrity and they get the check mark, you know it's them because they've been verified.
	Yes.
	Well, here's the note that people are receiving who have been unverified.
	Quote, we gave verified accounts visual prominence on the service, which deepened this perception of, I think it was endorsement.
	We would have addressed this earlier, but did not prioritize the work as we should have.
	Twitter said it's designing a new authentication and verification program that And that would mean in the meantime, it will remove verification from accounts whose behavior does not fall within the new guidelines.
	And the new guidelines state verified status can be lost if a person breaks Twitter's rules or promotes hate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease.
	So you better be careful what you tweet, brah.
	I'm wondering whether Twitter would take it as a bad mark against you if you hated Facebook.
	Interesting.
	Well, we can put this to the task.
	That would be a conundrum in the classic sense.
	Yes, we can put it to the task.
	You're the only one here who was verified.
	I do not want the mark of the beast.
	I do not want the mark of the beast.
	I'm sure that you get that checkmark verified.
	You're the first one to go.
	You're the first one on the train.
	Yeah, that's what you think.
	So you don't want to mess around and try something because of your coveted checkmark status?
	I have been cowed into submissiveness.
	Good.
	I'm glad you're going to do it.
	You're going to test it.
	I know you are.
	I'll test Facebook.
	I love it.
	I hate Facebook.
	Yeah.
	But it has to be based on...
	And by the way...
	There's too many old people there.
	If you say there's too many old people there...
	I could say that, but that would not prove anything.
	But that's ageism.
	I hate Facebook.
	I want to target Facebook because Facebook would be the target that would make them have to think twice.
	And if they took my check mark away for hating Facebook and hate, hate, hate would be the words I'd use, then I would say Facebook and Twitter are colluding.
	Oh, yes.
	How delicious.
	Yes, too delicious.
	Good idea.
	Alright, what have we got here?
	I have a couple funny clips.
	I think we should take a little break here and listen.
	Do you have this Farage rant on Soros?
	I love the Farage.
	Yes, I do, actually.
	I have the full rant, once again, in the EU Parliament.
	And what I liked about it is he started off about the Paradise Papers.
	Do you have the full rant, including where she says...
	Nigel Farage, you have two minutes.
	Mr.
	Farage, two and a half minutes.
	I have it, not just that, I have it with music.
	With creepy music.
	Oh, no music.
	Play mine then.
	I don't have music.
	Okay, hold on.
	I like it with music.
	Mr.
	Farage, two and a half minutes.
	As Mr.
	Miscavici said at the start of this, the leak of all these papers and lists of people with offshore holdings has come about because of the Society of Investigative Journalists.
	But what's not been said this morning, and I think is relevant, is that the funding of these investigations came from one George Soros.
	Now I say this at a time I'm going to come back to so what.
	And it may have some personal interest for you as well.
	I say this at a time when the use of money and the influence it may have had on the Brexit result or the Trump election has reached a level of virtual hysteria.
	Just last week, the Electoral Commission in the UK launched an investigation to find out whether the Leave campaign took offshore money or Russian money.
	This came about as a result of questions asked in the House of Commons by one Ben Bradshaw, somebody linked to an organisation called Open Society.
	I just wonder, when we're talking about offshore money, when we're talking about political subversion, when we're talking about collusion, I wonder whether we're looking in the wrong place.
	And I say that because George Soros recently gave Open Society, his organisation, which of course campaigns for free movement of peoples and supports supranational structures like the European Union.
	He recently gave it 18 billion dollars.
	And his influence here...
	And in Brussels is truly extraordinary.
	Open Society boasts that they had 42 meetings last year with the European Commission.
	They've even published a book of reliable friends in the European Parliament.
	And there are 226 names on that list, including yours, sir.
	I thought you'd find this interesting.
	I'll start.
	We even had last week Mr Verhofstadt lobbying on behalf of Mr Soros at the Conference of Presidents in a battle that is going on with Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary.
	If we're going to have a debate, and we're going to talk about full political and financial transparency, well, let's do it.
	So I should be writing today to all 226 of you, asking some pretty fair questions.
	Have you ever received funds, directly or indirectly, from Open Society?
	How many of their events have you attended?
	Could you please give us a list of the meetings of all the representatives, including George Soros, yourself, and I think this Parliament should now set up a special committee to look into all of this.
	And I say that because I fear we could be looking at the biggest level of international political collusion in history.
	Boom, count two.
	And what was great about the video, which is in the show notes, 982.noagendanotes.com, is the camera cuts away from him to look at all these a-holes smugly laughing.
	Yeah, what is it?
	Verhofstadt.
	Verhofstadt.
	The Hof.
	The Hof.
	Hello, Deutschland.
	Here's the Hof.
	So where is he from?
	Verhofstadt.
	I should know this.
	Well, I thought you would.
	It would be either Holland or Austria or Germany, I think.
	He is from...
	He's Dutch, but does he represent the Dutch?
	Belgium.
	Oh, Belge.
	He's a Belch.
	We call that a Belch.
	Even the word sounds nasty.
	Belch.
	Like a Belch.
	He's a Belch.
	There you go.
	He's a Belch.
	That's our new word for the Belgians.
	But I would love to see this list.
	There's 226 names.
	So there's a book that we can get that has this in there?
	I guess so, yeah.
	There's a thank you book, I guess.
	Here, thanks for all the help you've given us.
	Huh.
	Stooges.
	I wonder.
	Yeah, that guy was snickering.
	Yeah.
	Oh, a couple of guys were snickering.
	Yeah, a couple of guys.
	Really Farage.
	He got a pretty good round of applause from everyone around him.
	There were people hooting and hollering in the background.
	Yeah, because they weren't getting to pay off.
	Exactly.
	Like, hey, yeah, get those guys.
	They're not sharing.
	Bastards.
	Bastards.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	It happens.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So I thought that was entertaining.
	Yeah, I clipped it as well.
	Of course, it's totally.
	Farage, certainly in that setting, is always entertaining.
	So I have another kind of internationalist clip.
	Okay.
	I didn't get the very beginning of it.
	This is Mike Morrell, our CIA guy, on the CBS Morning Show, which is run by Charlie and It's a CIA show.
	Gail is an undercover agent, sure.
	Nora, yeah.
	Gail, no.
	Nora, for sure.
	But there's a couple of things.
	He's commenting on Trump and his visit overseas and how he's changed his mind.
	But he's trying to slam Trump, but he's not doing a very good job about it.
	And then out of the blue...
	Like, in the middle of this conversation, they bring something up that Morrell misspeaks of.
	Out of the blue, they just start talking about TPP, which Morrell refers to as TTP. STP, I think, is what he was thinking.
	So he screwed up on that.
	But it was just like, what are they talking about?
	And then there's a logical inconsistency.
	And actually, I think it's just a blatant lie on the part of morale, which I'll discuss.
	People, and that's exactly what he did here with President Trump.
	Did he say that he believed him or did he simply say that he thought Putin was sincere or he believed what he said and later said that he cast his vote with our national security people?
	Well, he did change his tune, Charlie, to the latter, to saying he's with our intelligence agencies.
	I think the key issue here with regard to the president and our intelligence community is that he seems to think that it's a political entity, a political tool, and that scares me because the last president who saw our intelligence community that way was Richard Nixon, who then used the FBI and the CIA inappropriately.
	And my court message was sent to U.S. intelligence when you see the president abroad flip-flopping as some people say that he did.
	Well, it makes them wonder whether he's listening or not to what they say.
	And these are individuals who take great risks, right, for this country.
	And they're not going to take those risks if the president's not listening.
	How significant is it that the United States has withdrawn from the TPP and then during this trip you see these other countries that the president was visiting, in a sense, coming together with TPP and therefore making it possible for some kind of relationship with the Chinese?
	Charlie, I think that's a great question.
	I think the most important thing that happened on this trip...
	Is the tentative agreement between 11 countries to go forward with TTP without the United States in the room?
	This is going to benefit economically all of those 11 countries.
	We're not going to benefit, and this is also going to strengthen Chinese influence in the region.
	Again, we're the big loser.
	All right, Michael Morrell, thank you for joining us.
	Welcome.
	Who is he working for these days?
	He's still working for the CIA, and when he talks about the intelligence community, he's talking about the CIA. He's not talking about the NSA. He's not talking about the DIA. He's not talking about anybody but the CIA, let's face it.
	You can tell.
	What I thought was interesting is that he said Nixon misused FBI and CIA. Did he?
	Yeah.
	Did he?
	I mean, he said that, but I mean, did Nixon?
	I don't think so.
	I thought it was only the FBI. I could be wrong.
	And I don't even think he did that much with the FBI. This is bull crap.
	All you have to do is read The Family of Secrets and you get all this stuff about Nixon and how he was screwed by the CIA. But...
	Let's go over a couple of things you said.
	All these countries are going to go ahead with what he called the TTP, which is the TPP, Trans-Pacific Partnership.
	This is like Charlie asked this question out of the blue.
	Obviously, it was a rigged question.
	It was put in there on purpose because they had a big graphic.
	Oh, they were ready.
	Okay, they were set for it.
	Yeah, this was not like Charlie ad-libbing.
	No.
	So it shows all these little countries in the ASEAN group, ASEAN countries, Malaysia, Indonesia.
	And then he somehow says the Chinese are going to benefit somehow.
	From what?
	From TPP? Because this group with the TPP was always set up by us.
	To benefit us.
	To benefit us and not the Chinese.
	It was to screw the Chinese.
	Right.
	And even if these guys do it by themselves without us, they can still make a separate deal with us.
	It's still to screw the Chinese.
	It's not to give the Chinese more influence unless the Chinese joined the group and they weren't allowed to.
	So that's bullcrap.
	It just wants to make the president look dumb.
	The other thing is about this, the TPP, which you'd think somebody would bring it up once in a while, which is since Morell's apparently all in, is why is it such a secret agreement that no one's ever been able to see the paperwork on it?
	Because it was meant for us to screw people.
	That's why.
	No, it's meant for the drug companies to screw everybody.
	This is a very drug-centric agreement.
	From what anyone can find, because you can't find much out about it.
	So the idea was it's going to be like the World Trade Organization, which has its own set of laws that we have to obey.
	Even if they violate our laws from our country, we'll go along with the WTO. We won't be able to double fry our french fries.
	Yeah, stuff like that.
	Yeah, stuff like that.
	So...
	So this just galls me to watch these segments where it's just like propaganda.
	It's anti-American propaganda, pro-large corporations, pro-open borders, and all the rest of it.
	For what good is it to do anybody?
	No good.
	Well, since you brought up pharma, I've got a couple clips here.
	This fits in the Oreos just as addictive as cocaine category.
	Taking a combo of over-the-counter meds like Tylenol and Advil might relieve your pain just as well as a prescription painkiller.
	It's a new study out of New York where the researchers followed hundreds of people who had to go to the ER for something.
	And they found that the patients who were given a mix of ibuprofen and acetaminophen reported virtually the same amount of pain relief as the people who were given prescription pain meds.
	Some experts say that ER prescriptions have helped to make the opiate crisis even worse.
	And studies like this show that over-the-counter meds may work just as well and not be as addictive.
	Hmm.
	That doesn't surprise me.
	I would like to see the study.
	I mean, morphine is a pretty powerful suppressant of pain.
	Maybe if you tell people it's morphine and then give them paracetamol or whatever, amidofen.
	I don't know.
	But we have enough doctors in the audience who can certainly give us some insight to that.
	But this report...
	To me, it was really galling.
	It is from NPR. One of our producers, he must listen to NPR all the time.
	And he brought this to my attention about the opportunities of the opioid addiction crisis.
	The first time Ray Tamazi got hit up by an investor, it was kind of out of the blue.
	This guy called me up.
	He introduced himself.
	He said he knew about us.
	The guy represented a group of investors.
	Tomasi didn't want to say whom, but they were looking to buy addiction treatment centers, like the one he runs in Massachusetts.
	It's called Gosnold on Cape Cod.
	He had checked around and learned that we were one of the more reputable programs.
	We had a good reputation in the community.
	We had a nice array of services.
	And he wanted to know if we were interested in becoming part of his company.
	Tomasi was intrigued.
	Gosnold is a not-for-profit group of clinics.
	It makes money on some services, like inpatient rehabilitation, and uses that income to pay for stuff that doesn't make money, like family support groups or putting counselors in schools.
	Tomasi knew the investors had the money to build new buildings and expand existing clinics, things that would take him years of fundraising.
	But when it came down to it, the investors were only interested in buying the profitable programs.
	A detox setting or a rehab program, they have a much wider stream of where revenue can come from.
	It's covered by insurance.
	People are willing to pay for it if they have the resources to pay for it.
	But the money-losing prevention programs, the long-term care, or sober residences?
	Investors didn't want those.
	Tomasi thinks those things are important, though, so he didn't sell.
	They're almost like investments that a community-minded provider would make in order to do the things that they think the community could use.
	But since that first meeting two years ago, the calls from potential buyers keep coming.
	Last month at a conference, he was approached three times in a single day.
	He says the investors ask him about occupancy rates, insurance reimbursement, future demand for detox and treatment.
	There weren't a lot of questions about, like, what do you do and what actually happens in these places?
	A little bit, but not much.
	And that's a key issue, Tomasi says.
	He's a healthcare guy who thinks about what a patient needs to recover.
	His suitors are money guys looking to offer a product that's in demand.
	Tomasi won't say which companies have approached him, but he says they include private equity firms and the biggest national chains.
	One national chain that has been on a shopping spree for addiction treatment centers is Acadia Healthcare.
	Six years ago, it had only six facilities, but today it has 587 across the country and in the U.K. What's driving Acadia's growth?
	Joey Jacobs is Acadia's CEO. At an investor conference last month, he pointed to two recent laws.
	Mental health parity was the beginning We saw a big benefit, and then the Affordable Care Act was very positive for our industry.
	Jacobs declined our request for an interview, but he told investors that the Affordable Care Act is driving their growth in part because so many more people have health insurance.
	That, combined with the mental health parity law that requires insurers to cover mental health care, and suddenly, there's a huge stream of cash for Acadia and other companies to tap into.
	Disgusting!
	Wow, there's a clip.
	I'll give you a borderline on that one.
	That's a beauty.
	In the backdrop of this, it came out today, and it's in the Telegraph, but I'm sure the statistic is correct.
	Opium production in Afghanistan has hit record levels again, doubled in the last 12 months.
	Yeah, I had a clip there.
	Oh, you do?
	I did.
	There's not much to it.
	We can play it.
	I'd love to hear it.
	It's word that opium production in Afghanistan has nearly doubled this year.
	The United Nations and the Afghan government report production is up 87% from 2016.
	Afghanistan is the world's top grower of poppies used to make opium and heroin.
	That's right, baby.
	USA, foam finger.
	Big foam finger number one.
	We're taking care of business.
	Somebody's taking care of business.
	Well, we are.
	Because Karzai's pissed.
	He didn't like us.
	He was on...
	Was this BBC, maybe?
	Yeah, they got cut out.
	He got cut out.
	Yeah.
	But he's making waves.
	That's why he's pissed.
	Okay.
	He got cut out of the deal.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	Exactly.
	In August, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his plan to escalate the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, America's longest ever war, and to send more U.S. troops to fight the Taliban.
	You tweeted that you strongly oppose this.
	Hey, was this guy tweeting too?
	I didn't know that.
	Is he verified?
	Is he verified?
	Because it sounds pretty hateful.
	...that you strongly oppose this new U.S. strategy that is, quote, against...
	Oh, that just hit me.
	Trump's going to get unverified.
	It's going to get unverified.
	No way.
	You want to put money on that?
	One dollar, Mortimer.
	Against the national interest of Afghanistan.
	How is it against the national interest of your country to have your allies sending you more troops to fight the number one threat to peace in your country, the Taliban?
	The Afghan people are sick and tired of war, in whatever name that may be.
	When we welcomed the United States in Afghanistan in 2001, the Afghan people, for the first time, accepted and supported and welcomed a foreign military power in the hope that finally we'll have peace and progress and stability.
	And for a number of years, that was true.
	But the U.S. government would say that they're sending more troops now for the same reason that they sent troops in the first place to the United States.
	Yes, which is to guard and help the transport of the poppies.
	And we're sending more troops because production has doubled.
	In 2001, to defeat, to fight, to beat the Taliban.
	The Taliban are the cause of the violence in Afghanistan, they would say.
	Not U.S. troops.
	They are not anymore the only cause of violence in Afghanistan.
	The war itself is breeding violence in Afghanistan.
	I want the Taliban who belong to Afghanistan, who are Afghans, to come back to Afghanistan and to sit down with their own people and bring peace to Afghanistan and through that bring the stability to our life that we need.
	If 40% of the country are In the past three years have fallen in the hands of the Taliban.
	That speaks for the failure of the US strategy in Afghanistan.
	The US failed in Afghanistan because...
	They didn't cut me in.
	They did not target the sanctuaries.
	They did not go to the sanctuaries, to the sources of...
	Training and nursing and financing terrorism.
	No, of course not.
	They rather went on attacking Afghan villages, Afghan homes, Afghan children.
	They created prisons in Afghanistan.
	They violated Afghan sovereignty in every imaginable way.
	The way they behaved in Afghanistan, the heavy-handed military behavior in Afghanistan caused the Afghan people's alienation.
	And that alienation is bringing about the trouble that we have.
	Okie dokie, then.
	Well, I call bullcrap on that.
	You're right.
	They cut him out, then he's pissed.
	Yeah, he'd be pissed, too.
	And he can't say anything about being cut out because then he'd admit he's a criminal.
	You know, I was talking to Steve Pchenik the other night.
	And I got a whole bunch of stuff.
	Some I just got to parse.
	And I said, you know, somehow the opioid epidemic came up.
	He said, well, he's a doctor.
	He said, I put that on the doctors.
	You know, doctors just prescribed all this stuff to people.
	And I said, well, yeah, but we're also protecting the poppy fields.
	And he had never really heard this theory.
	I was surprised.
	It was very well explained in that movie, which was a...
	When I said Denzel Washington, he said, American gangster.
	I said, yes, oh my God, you're right.
	I said, hello, what are you doing?
	You don't know this?
	He really didn't.
	Well, that means the circles he's in probably doesn't even consider that.
	So he's on some...
	Well, he's on military intelligence.
	Right.
	So he would know.
	Those operations are run by the CIA. Ah, you're right.
	What am I thinking?
	Oh, by the way, he agreed to do an interview for the No Agenda show, for a special show.
	Okay.
	And I'm going to do that early next week, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
	What I need is I need a producer, anyone who's near Melbourne, Florida, which is about 30 miles outside of Gainesville, Because I know enough about him that he's not going to get a mic hooked up to his computer.
	I need someone who has a laptop, has a USB mic at least, a set of headphones.
	AT2020 would work something simple.
	Or if somebody's got a good rig.
	Yeah, a good rig is good too, so email me, adam at curry.com.
	Okay.
	Because I really want to do that.
	I think it'll be fun to listen to.
	I talk with this guy for an hour.
	I'm like, we can record this.
	You never hear him just talk unless he's interrupted by commercials or Jones.
	And then everyone, you can think about what you think of him.
	Yeah, I'm sure it'd be very entertaining.
	I didn't want to listen to that.
	Yes.
	So, get your producer hat on people.
	Meet celebrities.
	Work for the No Agenda show.
	Meet celebrities.
	He's probably a funny guy to meet.
	Alright, let's go.
	We need to do some catching up.
	Oh, by the way, I have a clip from another old movie.
	I don't know what to use this for.
	But this is the no ISO. Final answer is finally no.
	The answer is no.
	Absolutely and finally no.
	Finally and positively no.
	No, no, no!
	No!
	It's going to end the show.
	I like it.
	It's a good one.
	Yeah, where's that from?
	By the way, we got hot news.
	Uh-oh, hold on a second.
	And now, back to real news.
	Hot news!
	Hot news.
	This became a headline.
	People were mocking it.
	It became a meme.
	And CBS ran it on their nightly news.
	Trump drinks water.
	I was waiting for that.
	Today gave an account of his Asia trip that appeared for a time might run as long as the 12-day journey itself.
	His mouth got so dry he had to stop and search for a bottle of water to quench his thirst.
	And a few minutes later, it happened again.
	You'll recall Mr.
	Trump on the campaign trail mocked then-rival Marco Rubio for taking a water break as he delivered the GOP response to a State of the Union address.
	Within moments today, Senator Rubio pounced with this review of the president.
	Needs work on his form, has to be done in one single motion, and eyes should never leave the camera.
	But not bad for his first time.
	Tweet revenge.
	I didn't know Rubio had done that.
	That's pretty funny.
	Yeah, it was pretty funny.
	Just to talk about it for a moment, because I saw it.
	The thing that wasn't, it wasn't so weird that he had a, well, first of all, he has cotton mouth.
	I mean, obviously the guy had been smoking some reefers, like, holy crap, man, I got, it's 420, I gotta have a drink.
	But the way he grabbed the bottle with two hands was very odd, and he really wiped off the top.
	I know, it was like a squirrel.
	Yeah, it's like a squirrel.
	And he wiped off the top, you know, it was like a germaphobe.
	Massive germaphobe.
	By the way, that doesn't come up in the conversation much, but it hasn't before.
	He is indeed a germaphobe.
	Yeah.
	So yeah, like a squirrel.
	That was weird.
	It was very strange.
	It was very weird.
	And the meme is all over the place of him drinking.
	Well, I mean, karma's a bitch, man.
	Of course.
	Does not look right.
	Yeah, no, karma's...
	Yeah, well...
	In fact, I tweeted the picture of him drinking for our pre-show tweet.
	I like it so much.
	I got a couple more hate Trump's love things here.
	So this is...
	The headline is, Trump to allow imports of African elephant heads!
	This is really good.
	I kind of got wind of this.
	I didn't know the whole story, but it just seemed stupid, so I never followed up.
	Now I'm going to find out.
	Yes, the Trump administration is...
	This is from The Hill, the Trump-hating blog.
	The Trump administration is reversing an Obama administration ban on bringing to the United States the heads of elephants killed in two African countries.
	The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is not quite the same as the president, but is the administration, said it has determined that hunting African elephants in Zimbabwe and Zambia will, quote, enhance the survival of the species in the wild, which is the standard by which officials judge whether to allow imports of parts known as trophies of the animals.
	Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program could benefit the conservation of certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation, an FWS spokesman said in a statement late Wednesday after hunting group Safari Club International announced the policy.
	Imports will be allowed for elephants killed between January 21st and the end of 2018.
	So, you know, people are losing their shit over this, and you look at the face bag posting pictures of his sons when they went on their lion hunting expedition.
	Yeah.
	A bunch of animal killers, a-holes.
	Yeah.
	And that may be.
	I could never shoot an animal unless I was really hungry.
	Yeah.
	But...
	I had a squirrel in the backyard.
	I'll shoot if I ever get a good shot at him.
	I'm using...
	I have a pellet gun, but I get to get him.
	I saw a squirrel.
	I've trapped him a couple of times.
	Not him, but these bat squirrels that ruin my plum tree by going into the tree and then taking one bite out of each plum.
	I had one of those moments yesterday where you're driving and you're in traffic and you see the squirrel on the side of the road.
	Like, am I going to go?
	Am I going to go?
	Am I going to go?
	And you're thinking to yourself, I'm going to see this squirrel get run over.
	And damn if it doesn't happen.
	And he made a bounce.
	It's a rodent.
	Things are nasty.
	You are wrong, John.
	Wrong again, Dvorak.
	They're not just that.
	Uh-uh.
	Yes.
	No.
	Oh.
	Ryan Boylan and Brutus, his emotional support squirrel, that's right, squirrel, are inseparable.
	He rescued her last year after Hurricane Matthew.
	Ever since then, I mean, oh my God, I couldn't imagine not being around her.
	But Boylon could lose her.
	Property management at Island Way discovered Brutus and exotic animals are not allowed.
	They say Boylon never told them about the squirrel.
	He was sent a notice to give up the squirrel or be evicted.
	I was very sad that he had to To basically push every single limitation that he could to try to get me help because of Brutus.
	Boylan contacted the Office of Human Rights claiming discrimination and they sent a letter to the association on his behalf stating the Fair Housing Act protecting emotional support animals.
	Cherry Arfa is a former board member.
	What if he's being discriminated against?
	I'm sure, you know, it's like any emotional support dog.
	People ask questions.
	Condo officials say it's a liability if something happens.
	It's not just like with any animal, you know, you can have the nicest dog and they could bite somebody.
	There's no guarantee.
	She feels the squirrel should be free.
	As I said, if it was a gerbil or something that your grandkid had hiding under the bed, I'm sure that would be fine.
	But a squirrel is a wild animal.
	And boy, Lon, he does have a doctor's note for the animal that he sent to the association back in July, but he has not re-signed the lease under the new owner of that unit, which is also supposed to be approved by the board.
	So again, it's pretty interesting to see where this case could go.
	To some, a rodent, John.
	To others, a support animal.
	Yeah, I know about this story.
	Ah!
	This is fantastic.
	We don't have the clip, I don't think, but there was a support pig.
	Yeah, I looked for a clip and the lady got kicked off the plane because her support pig was running up and down the aisle and was wreaking havoc.
	Yeah, making a squealing sound.
	Nobody made a clip of that.
	No one videoed that.
	I'm very surprised.
	I'm stunned by it.
	But the ADA, who I'm not really a big fan of, but they should be making big statements right now.
	I'm tired of this.
	And it's really distressing for people who have seeing eye dogs and other service animals who perform a specific service.
	Emotional support is not valid under the ADA regulations.
	And I agree.
	Get out of here with you damn support service squirrel.
	Support, emotional support pig.
	And I saw this video of some woman in Texas.
	She has her goat, her service.
	She has an actual goat.
	She takes it shopping.
	In the shopping cart.
	Yeah, listen to her.
	And she's doing it only because she wants people, she wants attention.
	She's like, yeah, this is my goat.
	Yeah, he likes shopping.
	Catarina gets to go to the store and go shopping today.
	She talks to her like a baby.
	We're going to go to the store and go shopping today.
	We've got to buy some dog food and it was too hot outside so she's going shopping with Mommy.
	Mommy.
	Say hi to the man there.
	Hey there.
	Hey there, goat.
	No one says, excuse me, get that stinking animal out of here!
	Goats are mean.
	I've had goats.
	I don't like goats.
	You feed them, you turn around, they boom!
	They're right in the back of the knees.
	Right in the back of the knees.
	No, it's worse because you buckle, you fall down and fall on the horn.
	But, yes, emotional support gerbil.
	That's my favorite.
	Now, the other thing that I've noticed, I was watching, I was just...
	Going through the dials, and sometimes you have to stop and watch.
	I hated to do it, but it was Wheel of Fortune.
	Vanna White, man.
	How long is she going to live?
	She's hanging in there.
	Yeah, she is.
	She still looks good.
	I met her.
	She's really nice.
	It was a bunch of couples.
	It was a youngster and their grandparents.
	It was some theme.
	They were in Disneyland.
	And this woman, and she does it so smoothly.
	The young girl, she's a millennial, and she mentions her partner, Louise, and their two fur children, Elliot and Isaac.
	Just boom.
	Just right on to the next thing.
	And I had to stop and...
	What?
	I almost clipped it.
	I just didn't...
	Fur children.
	Two dogs.
	Yeah, Rudy Sarzo.
	You don't know who that is.
	Rudy Sarzo, very famous bass player.
	Played in Dio, Whitesnake.
	And the guy is the Cuban Hurricane.
	He's really an amazing bass player.
	He and his wife don't have kids.
	And I think there's medical reasons for that.
	So they have a Yorkshire Terrier.
	And here's Rudy, who's like, you know, he's got the hair, he's got the leather on and everything.
	He's badass, even though he's now 60, but he's still, you know, badass.
	Quiet Riot.
	I mean, he's been in a lot of bands.
	And he's carrying this damn dog around, which he calls his Dogter.
	Dogter?
	Dogter.
	So our Dogter.
	Has the dog got a medical degree?
	No.
	No.
	I find that a lot of these people with fur children just slip by everybody.
	Fur babies, yeah.
	It's like, okay, well, whatever.
	Yeah, I know.
	Oh, and this just in before we take our break, in the never-ending story of the hashtag MeToo, here is a potential next candidate for naming and shaming, seeing as the new season of The Grand Tour is coming out on Amazon.
	Thank you, Adam Beast, for this nudge.
	Jeremy Clarkson, I'm sure, is going to be called out as a horrible man.
	Well, he seems to have all the characteristics of a horrible man.
	Well, he beats people up.
	He does all kinds of horrible things.
	Yeah.
	And I'm sure he's really rude to women.
	I would think so.
	He seems like he's rude to everybody.
	So we can just wait for that.
	It's coming.
	Yeah, well, you're probably right.
	And now I have this article that I wanted to read.
	Oh, and that's on Netflix, right?
	No, Amazon.
	Well, same thing.
	It's on the streaming service.
	Yes, that's why he'll be called out.
	Now he's got to go.
	You're right.
	Target number two.
	What am I thinking?
	Why am I even questioning this?
	I said Amazon.
	You just didn't register.
	I wasn't paying attention, I guess.
	Yeah, I guess.
	I wanted to do this cool story about Sean Hannity's advertisers who are being targeted, and he has a huge tweet campaign, Don't Advertise on Hannity Show.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, this is like a third iteration of attempting this.
	The problem, and I don't know what you're talking about in specifics, but let me just say, so you will know kind of a little background on this, it's always been countered by a reverse boycott.
	So if you're advertising, or have ever advertised on Hannity, and you pull out, they go after you.
	The Hannity supporters.
	There's a huge...
	Oh, I see.
	Okay, I see.
	So everybody loses because the products don't...
	People boycott the product.
	Yeah.
	The other side.
	Oh, interesting.
	The other side does have power.
	Hmm.
	And he has a big audience.
	Well, I was going to read this article, but when I clicked into it, it's from The Blaze.
	I get this screen that says, please update your browser.
	We at The Blaze support the latest Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera, almost all mobile browsers, and Internet Explorer 10+.
	Please click the button below to update your browser.
	No!
	No!
	Why would I do that?
	Why don't you just let me in?
	Yeah, the browser is the standard HTML or whatever they're using.
	Very odd.
	Whatever your browser is, you should be fine.
	But they want me to use the new Mac OS, which I think only comes with the updated OS. Because I'm using Safari for a number of reasons.
	They're douchebags.
	What do they get out of it?
	Douchebag!
	I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
	Now we do have a few people to thank.
	Very few.

	All right.
	I got a couple of things here.
	I got a couple of things here too.
	No, but I need to do this because otherwise we'll run out of time and I teased it.
	I teased it.
	I didn't say I wanted to step on your thing, but I just wanted to make sure that I had a couple of things too.
	I'll keep you in mind.
	From NBC News, how gamers are facilitating...
	I should do this with an echo.
	Hey, where is my...
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Where's the console?
	Oh, it moved.
	Damn.
	Upgrade.
	No, I haven't upgraded yet.
	This is still the old rig.
	Here's the title.
	NBC News.
	How gamers are facilitating the rise of the alt-right.
	Before white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and white nationalists marched in Charlottesville, Virginia in August, they were organizing behind a computer screen.
	And a lot of that organizing happened through a messaging service called Discord, which was originally created to connect video game players to one another.
	This is just the latest in the long-running shared history between the gaming community and the alt-right.
	Boom, boom, scary music, scary music, scary music, scary music.
	Gaming culture has always been racist, it's always been sexist, but the internet has sort of allowed us to just sort of see what has always been there.
	Emma Vossen is a PhD candidate studying how sexism seeded in gaming is replicated in the real world.
	Her study is based on Gamergate, a movement that began with intimidating and harassing female video game journalists under the guise of fairness in video game journalism.
	The harassment quickly gained traction.
	It helped catalyze the alt-right movement, which secured power and prominence during the 2016 election cycle.
	When you were studying Gamergate and you were really looking at the techniques that they used, it's impossible not to see the same techniques being used by Trump supporters.
	According to Vossen, the gamers and the alt-right share common ground.
	As people who are marginalized are fighting for equality, those who've traditionally had privilege, you know, especially white men, feel that they are being oppressed by these people who are trying to just be treated as equal.
	Why do you hate black people?
	African Americans are f*ing dirty, they're stingy, and they're just f*ing gross.
	Xbox Live and PlayStation Network both allow players to chat live while gaming.
	They have become havens for hate speech against women and minorities.
	What I had noticed and witnessed was what I call linguistic profiling.
	Just based on how somebody sounds, they kind of lash out in very inappropriate ways.
	They allow girls to play Call of Duty in America?
	Wow, they allow morons to play Call of Duty in America?
	Not everyone in the gaming community is sexist or racist.
	We are having this sort of internal cultural problem with sexist and racist gamers.
	So, what happens when these behaviors move from the gaming world to the real world?
	Keegan Hanks studies the progression of the alt-right on the web.
	Discord, as a platform, kind of had a meteoric rise in the alt-right.
	I think many of the members of the alt-right were actually aware of it because they were also members of the video game community.
	Many of them are.
	Discord became almost a requirement for a lot of these people if you wanted to be actively involved in the movement.
	Discord is anonymous and lightly monitored, which allowed the alt-right to control communications and access for thousands of users.
	Some Discord servers controlled by alt-right leaders made users post pictures of their Caucasian skin in order to participate.
	This allowed the alt-right to centralize its message and disseminate information around the Charlottesville rallies.
	Discord service played a substantial role in fomenting the riots that led to the death of Heather Heyer.
	After facing pressure, Discord shut down the servers used to organize in Charlottesville.
	The company stated, We will continue to take action against white supremacy, Nazi ideology, and all forms of hate.
	Perhaps not surprisingly, James Alex Fields Jr., the white supremacist charged for Heyer's death, was no stranger to video games.
	In 2010, his mother filed a complaint against him, claiming he struck her in the head and locked her in the bathroom because she told him to stop playing video games.
	Yeah, that's it.
	That's how you know your kid's going to be an alt-right douchebag.
	Yep.
	So this Discord service, they can pack it up.
	I think this is very interesting.
	Okay.
	They're going to go after...
	This is a VoIP system.
	What are you going to go up to next?
	Skype?
	You can't do conference calls?
	Because that's where they're communicating.
	They control everything from there.
	Yeah, so it's not so much about the video gaming, which is kind of a mislabeling of the issue that they're bringing up here, but about the server that they use to communicate and command and control.
	We're going to see some issues with this.
	I don't know why this...
	It just seems like a salvo of some sort because it's just a bunch of douchebags playing a game and then talking to each other.
	Yeah, but they're saying that this is where the alt-right is born.
	Where it's cultivated, where it's a petri dish of hate.
	I thought it was a bunch of KKK guys.
	They don't play that game.
	Yes, they do.
	KKK plays Call of Duty?
	Yeah, with their hoods on.
	Sure they do.
	With their hoods on.
	Alright, everybody got your hood on?
	Got your RPG? Okay, let's go!
	But this has to be just as we're talking about online and kids.
	This was very disturbing when I heard this report.
	It also makes a lot of sense to me and I think this needs to be discussed a lot.
	A new study shows a dangerous Florida Atlantic researchers say they found one out of 20 middle and high school age students participated.
	Why?
	Researchers say boys tended to do it as a joke or a way to get attention while girls were motivated by depression or being psychologically hurt.
	In a release, researchers said, quote, this finding is especially worrisome for researchers as there may be more of a possibility that this behavior among girls leads to attempted or completed suicide.
	The study's author says this is what first brought attention to self-cyberbullying.
	For example, 14-year-old Hannah Smith, seen there, killed herself in 2013.
	Researchers say in the weeks leading up to her death, she anonymously sent herself hurtful messages on social media platforms.
	Five factors that researchers found increased the chance of youth bullying themselves.
	Here they are.
	Identifying as non-heterosexual, three times more likely there.
	Being victims of cyberbullying, 12 times as likely.
	Drug use, suffering from depressive symptoms, history of engaging in self-harm behaviors offline.
	The study looked at almost 5,600 students between the ages of 12 and 17 years old living in the United States.
	This, to me, is an eye-opener, but it makes nothing but sense when victimhood is the highest level of social justice warrior status you can achieve.
	This reminds me of the stories, and there's not just a few of them, even before this mechanism of the social media.
	would spray paint Jew go home on his own house.
	He was Jewish.
	Yeah.
	This just happened recently.
	Some, some guy in the army was painting that on his, uh, like, you know, I think he's black.
	And so there were all kinds of racial slurs on his own car and he admitted it.
	I mean, I did it to myself.
	That's, that's very, Is this something that...
	Well, I guess it is historical human behavior.
	I think you nailed it.
	I think you nailed it with this, you know, you want some attention.
	Victimhood is the height of popularity.
	Being a victim is great.
	You see this played out in all kinds of ways where the victims come out and they make a big scene and they talk about being victims.
	Oh, this poor person is a victim.
	You know what they all should have?
	If they have problems, this is a tip for you parents.
	A tip for you parents.
	If you suspect your child is suffering from this, and this is a very cost-effective thing, because you can get them for free pretty much, give your child a service squirrel.
	Now everyone's expecting an honest tip from you.
	And there you go again.
	Again.
	I'm such an a-hole.
	You are.
	Wait a minute.
	I've got to get the jingle for this one.
	And then I want to hear some of your stuff.
	Hold on.
	This is great.
	Listen to this report.
	Oh, yeah.
	You can see time's up 28 percent because this is very interesting.
	Time may be moving more conservative.
	This is thanks to the Koch brothers.
	Of course, you know, they're billionaire investors.
	You have the two brothers.
	And they are working with Meredith, the other publisher, to try and strike a deal, putting their money, $600 million so far, from their private equities.
	So this conglomerate could put together two huge magazine companies.
	Meredith has Better Home and Gardens, Family Circle, and Time has Time, People, and Sports Illustrated.
	So the injection of the equity from the Koch brothers, this is this huge conglomerate.
	We have the brothers Charles and David Koch.
	They're widely known for supporting a conservative agenda.
	So we'll see whether it happens here, whether it actually happens putting these two big publishers together with the backing of the Koch brothers.
	Koch brothers!
	They're back on the scene.
	Yeah, it's about time.
	We can hate them again.
	Yeah, they're back on the scene.
	So I got a couple of things.
	There's a story that came out about this escaped psycho.
	I just want to play these clips.
	I've got three little clips.
	First I have the long report and then two kind of alt reports which have different information, CBS and ABC. And it's kind of second half of show stuff, the way I see it.
	And tell me that I'm wrong about this.
	Let's start with escape psycho from Hawaii.
	Next tonight here, the all-out search after authorities say a psychopath escaped, got in a taxi, then boarded a flight, and ended up in California.
	Here's ABC senior national correspondent Jim Avila tonight.
	The man in the back seat of this cab is in a big hurry.
	He just escaped from a psychiatric hospital.
	And tonight, questions mounting.
	How did Randall Sato, a sadist and necrophiliac accused of a gruesome murder, get away?
	And did he have help?
	Sato was locked up for more than 35 years after being acquitted in the slaying of a young woman by reason of insanity.
	But around 10 o'clock Sunday morning, Sato slipped out of a Hawaii State Hospital walking about a mile to this park where he was picked up by that taxi.
	Oh my gosh.
	Making a phone call to a possible accomplice.
	Chartering a plane from this small airfield to Maui, where authorities say he boarded a commercial flight to San Jose, California.
	The hospital not reporting their patient missing for nine and a half hours.
	Tonight, Sato arrested peacefully in another cab at this Stockton gas station.
	All of a sudden, there were sheriff cars all around.
	And they went right up to him and without incident, were able to apprehend him.
	David, the arrests were at these gas pumps.
	The cab was on the way to Reno.
	Back in Hawaii, authorities say they suspect an inside job.
	David?
	Wow.
	I think I know what that's about.
	Well, let's play the alts, and I want to hear what you have to say.
	Now, the alts are slightly, they tell a different story.
	One story is the guy was, they didn't report him missing for nine hours, and the other story says they didn't report him missing for two hours.
	One side says he was a necrophiliac, the other one says he's a serial killer.
	It's a very interesting difference.
	Let's play Escape Psycho.
	This is the alt version on CBS. A man once described as a classic serial killer is back in custody tonight.
	He escaped from a psychiatric hospital in Hawaii on Sunday and was captured today 2,400 miles away in Stockton, California.
	Okay, there's a reason I wanted to stop there.
	I'm not sure what it is.
	Let's continue.
	Late this afternoon, Hawaii's Governor David Ige admitted...
	His escape should never have happened.
	Randall Saito's roughly 72-hour flight to freedom ended when California sheriff's deputies took him into custody.
	The 59-year-old man authorities call a psychopathic predator escaped from the hospital Sunday morning.
	He was last seen heading to breakfast.
	Instead, Saito somehow walked to a park and called a cab.
	Oh, my God.
	Dash cam video obtained by our Honolulu affiliate KGMB shows him getting in, carrying a backpack with supplies including a cell phone.
	He took a charter flight to Maui where he was then able to get through security under an alias and board a Hawaiian Airlines flight to San Jose, California with a ticket apparently booked online from the hospital.
	It wasn't until two hours later on Sunday night that the hospital reported him missing.
	In 1979, Saito shot a random woman in the face with a pellet gun, then stabbed her to death.
	He was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity two years later and sent to the mental hospital.
	Prosecutors had said Saito fit the criteria of a classic serial killer and in 2015 had successfully prevented him from getting day passes out of the facility.
	Hospital administrators could not explain how he escaped on Sunday.
	Also still unexplained is how Saito managed to get hold of that backpack and cell phone he was carrying, and of course, how did he pay for the two airline tickets?
	Anthony?
	Anna Werner with an incredible story.
	It really only took me about 30 seconds to realize what was going on during the first clip.
	During the other two, I got the information.
	I know what this is.
	Okay, go.
	This is propaganda of the highest order.
	It's CBS, all these clips, CBS? No, no.
	The first round was ABC, and then the second two clips were CBS. Well, what you notice is a lot of talk about flying and how he traveled and how did he get so far.
	How could this all be possible?
	Then I happen to know what's going on right now is we are preparing the slaves of Gitmo Nation for January 22, 2018, at which point the Real ID Act will go into effect.
	Specifically meant to thwart you from flying if you're not authorized.
	Well, that element is in play, I agree.
	So I expect a lot more of these flying, how did you fly, what ID did you use?
	I think that's going to be the focus, because they're getting everybody ready to say, it's really good to have this real ID act.
	Yeah, it is, because, you know, them crazy psychos can't fly.
	This is propaganda, I'm convinced.
	Well, I took a different tactic.
	I think it was a test.
	I think this was a controlled test, and I think maybe your element is an element of it.
	Okay.
	But I think, for starters, the guy was...
	It was somebody within the facility, or somebody that gave him all this stuff.
	So he had the money in his backpack, and he got to fly to Maui to catch another plane, or fly from Maui to catch a plane to the States, and he was caught in Stockton in the middle of nowhere.
	Stockton in the middle of the San Fernando or the San Joaquin Valley.
	In the middle of nowhere, Stockton.
	They surrounded him and bang, he's back in jail.
	He's headed to Reno.
	What was in Stockton?
	What was in Stockton is I decided that's where they're going to end the test.
	And I believe this guy was chipped.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	I like that too.
	I do like that.
	How do you get, this guy's made a clean escape.
	He's flying on a regular, with a false ID, flies into California and lands in San Jose.
	Then he takes a cab or finds some way to get to Stockton, and they arrest him at a gas station in Stockton.
	This is bullcrap.
	He had to be chipped, and this had to be a scheme.
	This has to be all planned in advance.
	And I think they have a lot of people that are chipped.
	And I think it's going to be a plot point in a lot of stories nowadays where you're going to have this little RFID detector, which you can run over your whole body to see if you've been chipped while you've been locked up and knocked out.
	We have to give you a small examination.
	You take a little bit of this gas, they chip you.
	Well, not even that hard these days.
	All you have to do is take a pill.
	There's now something that you may think is better than a pillbox for remembering to take your medicine.
	It's a pill that tracks when you take it with an embedded sensor.
	U.S. regulators just approved it.
	It's a medicine from Otsuka Pharmaceuticals drug Abilify for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.
	The tracking device was developed by Proteus Digital Health.
	That's a medical technology company with over 300 patents.
	The sensor gives doctors a way to see if patients are swallowing their pills on schedule.
	It's about the size of a grain of salt and it gets activated when it gets wet from stomach juices.
	There's also a patch the patient wears and after the pill's taken, it transmits a signal to the patch.
	Then a digital record is sent to the patient's mobile device.
	The chip, by the way, will pass through the digestive system normally.
	It could really help patients with complicated medicine routines, like people suffering from diabetes or heart conditions.
	The pill has been in the works for a while.
	The sensor first was cleared by the FDA in 2012.
	There's your mark of the beast.
	There's your chipping.
	Yeah, but you poop that out.
	Yeah, but there's one in every pill, so you get a new one each time you poop.
	Yeah, but you, yes, you do, but if you're just on the run, you're not taking any pills, unless the guy had a prescription, he was stupidly taking pills.
	Well, it was for Abilify, it's for the psychodrugs.
	Yeah, well, I'm thinking that he was, I think he was chipped, chipped.
	Okay.
	The old-fashioned way.
	And, you know, where you get the chip in you.
	And California is the perfect place to catch a guy like that because California is, people don't realize this, but San Francisco is a good example.
	There are sensors all over the city that pick up your FastTrack data, which is on your car.
	Yes, and that's RFID essentially.
	Yes, and so the FastTrack device in California, I always take my FastTrack and I keep it in the glove box.
	Wrapped in tinfoil.
	Yeah, I noticed.
	I think the glove box does the trick, but to do it right, I would wrap it in tinfoil.
	Hello!
	And so you take it out and you put it on the dashboard and it works fine.
	But what they want you to do, of course, is to glue it permanently on your windshield with this little...
	Yeah, so they can track you everywhere, sure.
	So they can track you everywhere.
	And besides that, they have license plate readers everywhere in California.
	So you're driving around, they can tell where you've been.
	Why do you live there?
	Why do you put up with it?
	Come to Austin.
	We'd love to welcome you.
	I'd like to fight it.
	And...
	So there's all these issues.
	And I think with the chipping and everything, because there was no chance this guy was going to...
	But I think they wanted to see how far he'd get.
	And when they got to Stockton, they said, maybe we better bring him in.
	Could be either or, or a combo?
	Could have been all of the above.
	Or just a happy coincidence?
	Seems unlikely they're going to find this guy.
	I mean, it's just not possible.
	So when I was talking to Pachenik, He said, wow, the news is so nuts.
	He always said, what do you do again on your show?
	Like he doesn't know.
	My handler, like he doesn't know.
	What do you do again on your show?
	Media deconstruction.
	Everyone's talking about all this stupid Jeff Sessions and all that, but the real story was about the NSA. What are you talking about?
	The NSA, their own guys are hacking them.
	The whole thing is falling apart.
	No one's talking about it.
	And he referenced a New York Times article, which I had saved for the show notes to review before the show.
	And when I read it, I was pretty astounded.
	It's David Singer wrote it.
	He's from the New York Times.
	And we'll have a little listen.
	We were trying to answer essentially one big question.
	How could a group since August of 2016...
	That's Singer or Sanger.
	I think it's Singer.
	Sure?
	No.
	Now that you say it, I'm not sure.
	I think so.
	Would it be Sanger?
	David Sanger is one of the guys who handles this sort of story.
	Then it's Sanger, probably.
	I'm sure I'm wrong.
	...a group since August of 2016, right in the middle of the presidential election, been able every month to come out and offer for sale samples of what clearly was code used inside the National Security Agency to break into foreign computer systems.
	And the reason it's bigger than Snowden is that Snowden revealed the code names and some of the descriptions of programs the NSA did around the world, and that scrapped many of them and forced them to go do many other things.
	What the shadow brokers, as they've called themselves, are putting out on the market is the actual source code itself.
	So if you are an adversary state, you look at this and you can go into your computers and say, is the NSA inside my system?
	So David, near the end of the article is one of the most important nuggets as to the who.
	Who is believed to be?
	What nation state behind this operation?
	And you indicate that a number of US officials have a very strong belief that this is tied to Russia.
	That's right.
	That does not necessarily mean that Russia was the first one to hack into these systems.
	And you can imagine that the NSA, and particularly the unit that got hacked here, which used to be called the Tailored Access Operations Unit, they're basically the special forces of the NSA, they preserve their stuff pretty closely.
	So a lot of people believe there had to be an insider or several insiders, and maybe still is an insider, in the system that was bringing the data out.
	But they also believe that the Russians ultimately got that, whether they got it because the people, the insiders were working for them, or simply put the stuff in a place the Russians could access.
	Seems like a newsworthy story to me.
	Well, I'm glad he clued you in on that story, because that story's not getting any play at all for some reason.
	Well, it's really disturbing.
	I mean, it's not like we didn't know about these guys.
	It's not like we didn't know about the distribution of this.
	But what's new is the New York Times, the paper of record, the old gray lady reporting that it must be one or multiple insiders.
	Interesting.
	Well, intrigue continues amongst the intelligence agencies.
	And the media.
	Why are they so quiet?
	I don't understand why they're quiet.
	They were told to be quiet.
	Yeah.
	I have a gratuitous clip for you, sir.
	Because I found it.
	The UCLA players thanking the president.
	With that being said, I take full responsibility for the mistake I've made.
	I've shortened this significantly because they all admitted they were shoplifting and this is not who they are, not who they want to be as men.
	You know, you look at these punks and you want to slap them.
	They're all forced to read these statements.
	Pretty funny.
	I know that this goes beyond me letting my school down, but I've let the entire country down.
	Before I thank everybody who worked so incredibly hard to help us return home safely, I want to thank the Chinese police and the government for taking care of us and treating us well during our time there.
	To President Trump and the United States government, thank you for taking the time to intervene on our behalf.
	We really appreciate you helping us out.
	I'm grateful for this UCLA team that stood strong beside us and made it possible for me to be sitting here in front of you all today.
	I'd also like to thank President Trump and the United States government for the help that they provided as well.
	I would like to thank everyone involved in this whole ordeal.
	Thank you to Chris, Doug, Gloria, and Jerry for staying with us the whole time.
	Thank you to the police department, which treated us very well.
	Thank you to the PAC-12 and the UCLA community that helped us the whole way.
	And thank you to the United States government and President Trump for your efforts to bring us home.
	Must be so hard for any news organization to use that clip.
	Someone thanking the president for saving their ass.
	Oh, and by the way, black guys.
	Black guys.
	They're racist.
	What is he thinking?
	Let them rot in jail, those black guys.
	I'm sorry.
	Sons of bitches.
	Sons of bitches.
	Right.
	Okay, I got two things left.
	I'm done.
	All right.
	First of all, and the last one, by the way, is about Mugabe, which we haven't talked about.
	We should talk about.
	Yes.
	Which has been a coup in Zimbabwe.
	Yeah, also the military showed up on television.
	Hello!
	I am now your anchor!
	But I want to do this other story first because it more relates to the escaped psycho.
	This is a story that could have had more legs.
	Nobody's really playing it.
	It's about another psycho.
	A shooter in Northern California who was going to kill a bunch of people.
	He killed his wife.
	He killed his neighbors.
	He's got a gun, a couple of guns, and he's coming down to kill the kids in the local school.
	And they have a picture of him that they keep running of him looking like a crazed maniac.
	This is one of the greatest photos.
	We should try to track a copy of it down and put it in the show notes.
	One of the greatest photos of a crazed maniac you'll ever see.
	Okay, hold on.
	Let me take a look.
	Hold on a second.
	What's his name?
	I don't know his name.
	It's in the report.
	Okay, California.
	Why don't you run the report and then you can get his name.
	In a stolen truck, Neil drove here.
	I got him already.
	He looks like, what's his name?
	On drugs with a beard.
	Who's that?
	Alright, alright, alright.
	That guy.
	That actor.
	A little bit.
	Isn't that a great picture?
	That's fantastic.
	That's the guy you want killing you.
	That's the one.
	And that's, by the way, the picture that all the networks kept showing that exact same picture as though there's no other picture of this Joker.
	Well, no.
	It's kind of like the Paddock picture with his eyes closed.
	By the way, he's cross-eyed.
	No, this guy.
	Oh, this guy.
	Yeah, look at all Looney, Looney Tunes.
	Yeah, that's great.
	In a stolen truck, Neil drove here to Rancho Tehama Elementary School, but he couldn't get in.
	Frustrated, Neil shot 30 rounds in six minutes, but the school went on immediate lockdown after hearing gunshots a quarter mile away.
	Hold on.
	30 rounds in 6 minutes?
	What was he, pulling it with his pinky, like one at a time?
	Like, boom!
	I heard this.
	But she makes it sound like, ooh, he shot 30 rounds in 6 minutes.
	And I'm thinking, what?
	Let me do the math on that.
	That is 5 rounds a minute?
	Good work.
	So, yeah.
	Click, boom.
	That's, yeah.
	Click, boom.
	Get in.
	By the way, the guy, he looks like the Unabomber, too.
	Yeah, it's a great picture.
	Elementary school, but he couldn't get in.
	Frustrated, Neil shot 30 rounds in six minutes.
	But the school went on immediate lockdown after hearing gunshots a quarter mile away.
	That meant kids went into classrooms and hid under their desks.
	Maybe it was like a muzzle.
	You know, just tamp it in there, pour the gunpowder in.
	I mean, we're laughing about kids being shot at.
	Well, yeah, but this story is dubious because they said school went on lockdown because somebody heard gunshots a quarter mile away.
	Well, yeah.
	So you hear a car backfire and you put the school on lockdown?
	Yeah, I hear you.
	I hear stuff in Austin all the time, which I think, is that a gunshot?
	Would you go on lockdown immediately?
	Let me ask you a very important question.
	What was the guy doing at that quarter mile away?
	Shooting into the air?
	What was he shooting at a quarter mile away?
	Listen to the end of that again.
	Hold on.
	I already dumped it.
	Sorry.
	You do this all the time.
	Well, you know, I kept it in for quite a while.
	Okay, here we go.
	Back a little.
	Here we go.
	Frustrated, Neil shot 30 rounds in 6 minutes.
	But the school went on immediate lockdown after hearing gunshots a quarter mile away.
	That meant kids went into classrooms and hid under their desks.
	Could be the shot shooter company who detects that.
	This is the middle of nowhere bumfuck California.
	No way.
	Hmm.
	Well, I think someone really did die there, and they dug up his wife under the floorboards.
	Yeah, no, that's over at his house.
	He shot his wife.
	He said, yeah, no.
	Oh, my God.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, that was over at his house, and then he shot his neighbors, and then I guess maybe that was a quarter of a mile away from the school, and that's where they heard the shooting, and they decided to go on lockdown.
	Well, okay, now you make a good point.
	If it wasn't, as you said, bum F California, maybe they don't hear that kind of stuff so often, so a quarter mile away might not have been that crazy.
	That's where they hear it all the time.
	There's hunters, guys shooting at the tree in the backyard, you know, come on.
	Let me ask you another question.
	When's the last time you actually heard an automobile backfire?
	I mean, be honest with me.
	When's the last time you heard that, you old coot?
	Come on!
	I nailed you on that one.
	Yeah, you did.
	You got me.
	It's true.
	That's crazy.
	When I was an air pollution inspector, I hate to tell this story.
	Ah, here we go.
	Yes.
	But we had to...
	There's a hill around here, and I had the area of Standard Oil, and I had to go up and discuss stench in some parts of Richmond.
	And there's this hill code.
	The black neighborhood, John?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Is that code?
	Is that racial code?
	No, no.
	It's a white neighborhood.
	The blacks never complained about anything.
	It was always in white neighborhoods.
	And so there's this street.
	There's a real long, it's a hill, like a San Francisco hill type of thing called Mosier.
	And if you went to the top of it and you came down with these, the cars we had were like American Motors.
	There's a certain kind of a car that was used a lot by the government.
	But it turned out that if you turned off the ignition, which didn't lock the transmission to do anything, just turned off the ignition, and you went down this hill with it in gear.
	I wasn't the only guy doing this, by the way.
	And you turn the ignition back on about halfway down.
	Oh, you get a big boom.
	A huge explosion.
	Now, I had...
	You'll like this.
	I had a Saab 90.
	It must have been, I don't know, maybe 20.
	And it was a real piece of crap.
	And it ran on liquid petroleum gas, just to make it even more interesting.
	And down by the handbrake, there was a choke.
	And the same thing, if you just let off the gas, off the accelerator, and you pulled up the choke, you pushed the choke down and hit the accelerator...
	It was fantastic.
	I probably could have blown myself to bits with the LPG. I actually bought the car for that feature.
	I thought it was cool.
	I said, watch this.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	It just came to me, this.
	I'd completely forgotten about that.
	Well, these things come to mind.
	Good times.
	So my last clip is actually an educational clip.
	Followed this on all the networks.
	This is Mugabe.
	The military's taken over Zimbabwe, and they pushed Mugabe, put him under house arrest, a 94-year-old senile a-hole that run the country into the ground.
	But there's a couple...
	This particular report, which I believe was on CBS... It brought in this information that the other networks didn't feel like discussing.
	And the information is that he started shacking up with his secretary, like, I don't know how many, 20 years ago or 15 years ago, and decided to make her the assistant, you know, premier or prime minister that gave her this position that she was going to take over the government when he died.
	Mm-hmm.
	And she's just some bimbo.
	It's like an unbelievable bimbo.
	And none of the other networks seem to explore this much, but I thought, and it apparently was the reason they finally got rid of this guy, because they weren't going to put up with that.
	So let's go with it.
	It looked like a coup as tanks rolled into the nation's capital overnight.
	Military police and a tank.
	Wow, it's real.
	And soldiers took over the state broadcaster.
	But Zimbabwean General Sibusi Somoyo denied it.
	We wish to make it abundantly clear.
	That this is not a military takeover.
	Instead, Robert Mugabe, who was ruled Zimbabwe by fear for 37 years, is now under house arrest.
	93 years old and in failing health, he is regarded by his critics as a brutal tyrant who ran the country into the ground.
	He's perhaps best remembered for sending out bands of thugs who seized white-owned farms, drove off owners, killed livestock, and then left the land fallow.
	The economy went into freefall, unemployment soared, the Zimbabwean dollar was printed in denominations of billions.
	Despite this, Mugabe's grip on power only strengthened.
	But ultimately, it may have been his wife, Grace, nearly half his age, who was his undoing when he tried to position her as his potential successor.
	Known as Gucci Grace for her lavish shopping sprees and flamboyant fashion choices, she was Mugabe's secretary before entering politics two years ago.
	Now her husband is in the military's custody.
	Power, finally, may be slipping from Mugabe's hands.
	No one knows where Grace Mugabe is.
	There are rumors she's already fled the country, and with Robert Mugabe under house arrest, Anthony, Zimbabweans are waiting to see if he will step down.
	Debra Pata.
	Thanks, Debra.
	Wow.
	That's a good report.
	Yeah, I thought CBS, well, CBS being part of the system.
	I was going to say, I mean, who's their guy?
	Who's their guy or gal they're putting in?
	I mean, I'm sure we have some involvement somewhere along the line.
	And why?
	Weren't we running Mugabe?
	Mugabe?
	No, I don't think so.
	We had nothing but trouble with that guy.
	The Brits tried to run him and they couldn't do it and we couldn't do it, but I think we could do the military guys.
	Yeah.
	We're behind a takeover.
	Another question for Prochenek.
	Yeah, ask him what the deal is.
	Yeah, tell me the story.
	And I'm surprised they haven't shot the Mugabe in the head, which they should have done.
	Well, that's why you'd think that he was being run.
	I think right now it is...
	They did this to see what would happen.
	There's no reaction by the public.
	Now they'll shoot him in the head.
	Oh, he died of a heart attack.
	I'm sorry.
	I guess the stress was too much for him.
	Okay.
	We can put that one in the book.
	I'm down on that.
	Within a week.
	I mean, this is short-term predictions.
	I have one final clip, very short, and I like this kind of clip.
	I want to thank Jeff Taylor, producer Jeff, for finding this.
	As we know, when celebrities or even people who are ugly in show business, known as politicians, When they're abroad, when they're certainly in the UK's Gitmo Nation GMT, it's a little looser when they're doing interviews.
	They say stuff.
	The truth always wants to come out.
	This is kind of a combo clip of not giving a crap because I'm in England who's going to listen to it.
	And the truth wants to come out.
	This is Democratic California Congressman Brad Sherman.
	Mr.
	Sessions.
	I'm sorry, on BBC4. Mr Sessions, though, today left the door open to such an investigation, but he made it clear that he didn't believe there was currently any basis on which to appoint a special prosecutor.
	On the other hand, from the Democrats' point of view, is this an opportunity potentially to simply clear things up and put all these questions finally to rest?
	Questions about the Clintons will not be put to rest until all of their enemies are put to rest.
	Uh-huh.
	Yep, yep.
	I think that just about clears it up.
	Yeah.
	Good one.
	Yeah.
	I want to put them to rest.
	We know how they operate over there, the Clintons.
	And we'll be on watch for that.
	Let's see if Mugabe gets shot.
	What else are we waiting for?
	Academia sex scandals?
	Yeah, that'll take a while.
	Yeah, and don't be on waiting for Al Gore to be outed again.
	That ain't gonna happen.
	You got protection somehow, guys.
	All right, everybody, thank you very much for listening.
	Thank you for supporting the program and the work.
	Remember us for our Sunday show at dvorak.org.
	Until then, come to you from downtown Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star states, here in the common law condo in the 5x9 Cludio.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
