	Yeah, because I had something hot that had to come out of the oven.
	I'm looking, looking left, looking right, looking left, looking right.
	There's a towel.
	There's the oven mitt.
	I said, well, let me use the oven mitt.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, February 22, 2018.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1010.
	This is no agenda.
	Dragging the war on crazy and broadcasting live from downtown Austin, Tejas, capital of the drone, Star State, in the Cluedio, in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's kind of in the middle of the Bay Area, a little by north and south of wherever the center is, I'm John C. Dubois.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill, in the morning.
	Slow clap.
	Nice.
	Well prepared.
	That B12 kicking in early, I can tell.
	I always am well prepared.
	I write these down.
	Yeah, sure.
	Alrighty, here we are.
	So much to talk about.
	So much sickness in the world.
	So much mind pollution going round.
	Everybody's freaking out.
	What are they freaking out about?
	Different things, you know.
	Trump won't defend our country against Russians or won't defend the children.
	From guns.
	Did you see that thing at the White House last night?
	Oh yeah, we did a whole watch that thing.
	I got a clip.
	Just to start off, everything I'm seeing this morning, this is Trump's big, big problem.
	I don't think he understands somehow.
	If you watch that whole thing in context, yeah, it was actually pretty civil.
	There wasn't a lot of yelling and There was one guy that went off.
	Yeah, but he wasn't yelling about, you know, Republicans horrible, NRA horrible.
	There was much less of that than on the CNN town hall.
	But you take one thing of Trump out of context, and he looks like a dick.
	Like, hey, he wants to have all teachers armed!
	I mean, that's pretty much what the news is today.
	He wants to have all teachers, oh, every single one, armed to the kids, too.
	Yes, exactly.
	So, you got a clip about it?
	Let's listen to it.
	Well, first of all, I want to mention something.
	We have a producer in Louisiana, Carly, and she's always been writing me about this.
	Is that Pretty Plus More?
	Yeah, Pretty Plus One.
	So, I made a genuine effort to watch the school shooting, she writes, victims, the school shooting victims and their families.
	This is what she's been writing me about for the last few days.
	Pretty much the same theme.
	This week, as they met with the president to take note of who cried, for her to take note of who cried, thinking the emotion being so raw coupled with meeting with the leader of the free world might encourage saline.
	Total count of criers, zero.
	One kid even wiped away no tears.
	His nose wasn't even red.
	He was nowhere near crying.
	Then he took a hanky and wiped his perfectly clear eyes.
	Thank you.
	She's been kind of on this thing.
	Yeah, I saw her tweeting about that as well.
	Yeah, she's very irked about this.
	Well, we had the same with the Sandy Hook shooting.
	We had strange reactions.
	Well, I found it peculiar that we had a Sandy Hook shooter woman there.
	In fact, more than one, I believe.
	Yeah, we had Columbine parents, Sandy Hook parents, Virginia Tech.
	Let's listen to the one guy going off.
	This is the father's rant.
	His daughter Meadow was killed, and this is him.
	Andrew Pollack's 18-year-old daughter Meadow was one of the 17 killed at Stoneman Douglas High School last week.
	Mr.
	Pollack stood with his sons beside him.
	We're in here because my daughter has no voice.
	She was murdered last week, and she was taken from us.
	Shot nine times on the third floor.
	Just to stop that for one second, and we'll get into the shooting itself later on.
	What's really missing from all of the reporting is, well, I guess we know it was an AR-15.
	We don't actually know what it had.
	We don't know how many magazines he had, what capacity they were.
	There's really only, you know, the kids are talking about maybe a total of 30 bullets they heard.
	Well, she was shot nine times.
	That's what I'm saying.
	So the shooter did pretty well, considering.
	Why would he shoot somebody nine times?
	I really don't know, John.
	She was actually the target.
	She was murdered last week, and she was taken from us.
	Shot nine times on the third floor.
	We, as a country, failed our children.
	This shouldn't happen.
	We go to the airport.
	I can't get on a plane with a bottled water.
	But we leave it...
	We could walk into a school and shoot our children.
	It's just not right.
	And we need to come together as a country and work on what's important.
	And that's protecting our children in the schools.
	That's the only thing that matters right now.
	Everyone has to come together and not think about different laws.
	We need to come together as a country, not different parties, and figure out how we protect the schools.
	How many schools, how many children have to get shot?
	It stops here with this administration and me.
	I'm not going to sleep until it's fixed.
	All these school shootings.
	It doesn't make sense.
	Fix it.
	There should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it.
	And I'm pissed.
	Because my daughter I'm not going to see again.
	She's not here.
	She's not here.
	She's at...
	In North Lauderdale, whatever it is, King David Cemetery, that's where I go to see my kid now.
	And it stops.
	We all work together and come up with the right idea, and it's school safety.
	That's it.
	No other discussions.
	Security, whatever we have to do.
	Get the right people, the consultants.
	These are our commodities.
	I'm never going to see my kid again.
	I want you all to know that.
	Never, ever will I see my kid.
	I want it to sink in.
	It's eternity.
	My beautiful daughter, I'm never going to see again.
	And it's simple.
	It's not, we can fix it.
	I didn't get a clip of it, but there was a lot of...
	Well, Trump actually did start the thing about, well, we should have certain teachers trained, and there's about 20%, and that would make it much less...
	And let everyone know that there are teachers who are armed.
	There was a school principal and one of his teachers from, I think it was D.C., In one of the poorest districts of D.C. And these two guys, they said, well, you know, we've done something different.
	We're just like the TSA, which is kind of what this father was advocating for in a way, where we have metal detectors and nothing with any objects come into the school.
	We have one entry and exit point, which has its own issues, of course.
	And he said, another thing, we do not allow phones in school.
	So everything is left at the door.
	I have to say...
	I think the phones is a good idea.
	Yeah, the phones is a good idea.
	And have TSA-like security there if you want a stopgap measure for now, something that'll just be temporary.
	Seems better than a whole bunch of guns if you really have a way to make sure nothing comes in.
	Well, I kind of back off on all this stuff after listening to one of these right-wing talk show hosts, a substitute guy.
	Mm-hmm.
	Who keeps harping on the Department of Education.
	And he mentions the fact that...
	Well, let me ask you.
	You probably don't know this, because I don't think anybody...
	Well, I'm sure somebody does if they listen to these shows.
	When was the Department of Education first implemented?
	I don't think it was that long ago.
	I want to say in the 80s?
	Well, it was 1980, actually.
	Okay.
	And when was the first school shooting?
	Well, I did a different correlation, but I think the first big one was 1996.
	Which one was that?
	I have it here.
	I wasn't prepared to pull it up.
	I thought it was 99, but 96 is good enough.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm going to find it here.
	I have it here.
	School shootings.
	There's an actual wiki page.
	I bet there is.
	Woohoo!
	Okay, we did have...
	Well, we had school shootings in the...
	I mean, going back towards...
	Well, I mean, even in the 40s and 50s.
	But it really started...
	Yeah, there was one kid shooting another one.
	Yeah.
	It really started in 96.
	Let me see with some big numbers here.
	Yeah, they really weren't all that big.
	I mean, define school shooting.
	More than one?
	More than three?
	Well, I think was Columbine would probably be the first one.
	That was 99.
	Yeah, Columbine was...
	You know, they had the procedures and everything was all screwed up, and you had a bunch of different sociological changes that were in place, say, since the 70s.
	I mean, we had the Kent State in the 70s.
	We had the Fullerton Massacre.
	Yeah, we were talking about grammar schools or high schools.
	Oh, okay.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	They dropped college things.
	It's different.
	It's got some, you know, the shooting up at the University of Texas.
	Yes.
	It's a good example.
	Yeah.
	You have some sociological change.
	You have video games becoming very popular.
	You have using Ritalin on kids being very popular.
	Well, there was kind of going ahead a little bit, but do you know when direct-to-consumer advertising really started?
	I mean, it was really in full gear, and I mean pharmaceuticals direct on television, 1997.
	Okay.
	So it was already being done in the mid to late 90s.
	96, 97 is where it really started to kick off and all the big pharma companies were advertising on television.
	That's the correlation I'm seeing.
	Okay, I like that one.
	Well, it's better than the Department of Education, which seems to be...
	Which doesn't help.
	None of it helps.
	And we have all these situations.
	You got the kids on Ritalin.
	You got the video game starting to really take hold.
	There's a new book out that I just got a copy of it.
	I haven't really looked at it, but it's about video game addiction.
	Is that Assassination Generation?
	Is that the name of the book?
	I don't know.
	Oh, because that's the book I just got.
	It's called Assassination Generation.
	Probably the same one.
	Yeah, same book.
	So there's all these elements, and instead of addressing any of that, you know, talking about arming teachers and all these other impracticalities.
	That's why I said stopgap measure.
	It's just a band-aid.
	It's not solving the actual problem.
	But it won't help.
	And then there's also the inability of the American public to do statistics and realize that these shootings are actually few and far between, even though they're horrible when they happen.
	Yeah.
	One or two a year, maybe, out of, what, 30,000 schools, I believe?
	Well, I mean, if you really want to save kids, you know, we'll do something about the opioid issue.
	That's killing kids.
	And that's killing a lot more kids than these incidents.
	It's just, it's not as glamorous.
	You don't have all the cool stuff.
	Yeah, these incidents are good because it does help people push the agenda they want to push, which is disarming the American public.
	Let's play the second clip I have, which is Shooting Tail with the Sandy Hook Woman.
	Samuel Zeif was texting with his brother a floor above as the gunman murdered one of their classmates.
	I turned 18 the day after.
	Woke up to the news that my best friend was gone.
	And I don't understand why I could still go in a store and buy a weapon of war.
	An AR. I was reading today that a person 20 years old walked into a store and bought an AR-15 in five minutes with an expired ID. How is it that easy to buy this type of weapon?
	How do we not stop this after Columbine, after Sandy Hook?
	I'm sitting with a mother that lost her son.
	Yeah.
	The mother was from Sandy Hook.
	Now, I don't know of anybody that bought an AR-15 off the over-the-counter in five minutes with expired ID. You really think that's a true story, kid?
	I don't think so.
	No, that doesn't happen.
	But since it goes on, this is PBS, it goes on and everyone hears that.
	Yeah, it becomes truth, sure.
	It becomes truth.
	Everyone keeps talking about comprehensive background checks.
	Just put comprehensive in front of anything.
	We have comprehensive background checks in every state.
	What I did learn, however, is when the FBI went and did a database search, the reason they didn't find him as a purchaser of one or multiple rifles is because that information, if you're just doing a cursory database check, that information is actually deleted.
	And I learned this from our head mofo in charge.
	He knows a lot about this stuff.
	He says it's not possible to run a check on the database.
	He has a 07 federal firearms license as a manufacturer, so I guess he knows what he's talking about.
	He has some standing.
	When a dealer runs a purchaser of a firearm through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, NICS, and comes back, proceed, the buyer's been clear.
	The NICS is not allowed to retain the information as when the NICS was established there was regulatory control to prevent it being used to establish a database of gun owners at the federal level.
	I remember this now.
	Yes, I remember it too.
	NICS purchaser data is purged at the end of each day for all successful purchases.
	Now, certain states use their own background check system.
	For example, California uses the dealer record of sales system where purchaser information is entered into a state web-based system.
	The law enforcement can check dealer records by name to see if someone has purchased a firearm in the state.
	Now, ATF can trace a firearm if it's used in a crime or otherwise recovered, but it can't just do a trace.
	It has to, you know, first it has to have the make, model, serial number.
	Then they can get back to the dealer, and eventually they can find out who purchased it.
	But, you know, it's a legal process for the very reason that when the NICS was instated, that you can't just create a database of gun owners.
	So it's incorrect on that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the idea.
	People don't realize, and of course these kids aren't taught civics, at least in an old-fashioned manner.
	I don't know, maybe they're taught something.
	But we're paranoid against governments.
	I mean, the country formed out of a revolution against the ruling power, the ruling elite, British.
	Mm-hmm.
	And that's built into our constitution.
	That's the reason the constitution is, you can't write laws about this, you can't do this, you can't do that.
	It's mostly you can't do this, you can't do that.
	No, it's mostly what the government can't do.
	Yeah, that's what I meant.
	Not you, what the government can't do.
	I meant you as the government.
	Yeah, me.
	The government can't do this, the government can't do that, the government can't do this, the government can't do that.
	Right.
	Because we've been through that.
	But unfortunately, we've been through it so long ago that nobody appreciates it anymore, and now they want to change it so the government can do everything.
	Right.
	And that's because the kids are taught that way.
	In fact, my theme for today's show is that a lot of the...
	Teaching going on in the schools is to reverse a trend, and I'll mention this later again, to reverse a trend that began in the 60s when there was some self-realization taking place on the part of the hippies and others that were protesting the Vietnam War.
	And that was the notion, which was a bumper sticker.
	You could see it everywhere.
	The bumper sticker said, Question Authority.
	Yeah, I remember that, yes.
	Now, the Question Authority bumper sticker turns out to have been problematic, and now they're trying to reverse the concept of questioning authority with some of the things that are going on in today's schools.
	And I have some examples of that after we finish up with this Florida thing.
	I think I have...
	I have one more kind of related thing, which was the Whittier shooting that was thwarted.
	Apparently some kid was going to shoot up a school in Whittier, but a gate guard caught him saying something, and they tracked him, tracked down, they turned him in to the school administrators, and they, I guess, turned him in to the cops, and then the cops investigating find out a bunch of weaponry at home.
	This comes as police say a tip from a security guard helped thwart a mass shooting at a Southern California high school.
	A 17-year-old student is in custody after threatening to open fire at El Camino High School in Whittier.
	A security guard at El Camino said he heard the student making threatening comments.
	Police investigated and found multiple weapons in his home, including two AR-15 rifles and 90 high-capacity magazines.
	The teen's 28-year-old brother was also arrested on weapons charges.
	Well, it was after this lunch break and students were going back to class.
	I overheard him mention the threat.
	Went up to talk to him to confirm exactly what I heard.
	And then I got administration involved and we discussed it all together.
	And he confirmed what I had heard, the threat.
	A student allegedly said that he would bring a gun to campus in the next three weeks.
	He was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats.
	Well, that worked out.
	Yeah, that worked out, and luckily the FBI wasn't involved.
	Ha!
	But, you know...
	Another, the last clip I have is this one, which is another, you know, kids can't seem to wait.
	They're impatient.
	They aren't going to wait until the big March 13th or March 14th walkout.
	Now, can I say something about that?
	Because I was following the hashtags on the tweeters, and it started off, we're going to do a walkout, big walkout.
	It's going to be in April, and within 24 hours...
	It was March and it was being run by the March on People.
	That went really quick.
	They co-opted that so fast.
	They co-opted the whole thing quickly.
	In fact, the walkout that took place the other day I think was like a practice run to see what they needed to do to fine-tune this because this was coordinated across the country by some group and these kids are like, I don't want to say that they're all a bunch of suckers, but they go along with this stuff in a way that's very disconcerting.
	And we have the walkout club.
	There's a local report of kids' walkout.
	It's local.
	Ah, okay.
	Hold on one second.
	From the local.
	From the local section.
	And as we mentioned at the top of the broadcast, students across the country did walk out of their schools today protesting gun violence and demanding change.
	Here's a look at some of the walkouts in Florida, Arizona, and Maryland showing solidarity and support for students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
	They say stopping school shootings starts with them.
	Now, before we get into that, I just wanted to round up this, you know, what are all the different touch points?
	What's happening?
	Why is it happening?
	And I got a lot of grief.
	But publicly and privately from playing the clip last time from the Kentucky governor, Matt Bevin, who I thought, and it was something that I thought we would never hear again on television because he mentioned video games, he mentioned movies, he mentioned culture, and then at the end he mentioned SSRIs.
	And I saw the connection between all of that, but people get so dimension A nutty about it.
	And I'm going to preface this clip because he was on Tucker Carlson.
	I was able to just get him just speaking about what he thought was the issue.
	I am fairly convinced, and this is the only thing I can speak about, if you practice on Microsoft Flight Simulator, you practice in a Cessna, landing, taking off, and I've seen it, when you get into an actual aircraft, you can fly much better than you would expect.
	That shouldn't be a surprise.
	It's really quite realistic.
	That's what simulators do.
	Yes, and these simulators, if you have a little more expensive gear, you get feedback on the yoke, you get all kinds of feedback.
	You learn how to fly 747 on a simulator.
	But I've seen people who have never flown, have only done flight sim, get an airplane, and they're actually not that bad.
	There's concern and worry and there's weather and stuff and other conditions, but they can actually fly it.
	So there is a training element to doing stuff with visual and physical feedback on the computer, which I believe a lot of first-person games have.
	Now let's listen to the Kentucky governor.
	I think the thing is to ask ourselves what has changed.
	There are more gun restrictions now.
	There are more rules about who can or can't own a gun or how a gun might be acquired than there were 50 and 100 years ago.
	And yet 50 and 100 years ago, children did not slaughter other children at school.
	What has changed?
	It isn't the gun.
	So something culturally has changed, and I would submit that we have become significantly desensitized to death and to violence.
	And we are training children, whether we intend to or not, whether it's anyone's desire or not, through video games, through movies, through musical lyrics, through television shows, increasingly during prime time even.
	The amount of violence is increasingly realistic.
	Increasingly graphic.
	And there is a cost to this.
	You couple that with the number of psychiatric drugs that children and adults for that matter are on.
	And the number of warnings about depression and suicidal thoughts.
	You couple all that with the fact that our mores as a society have shifted to the degree that they're largely non-existent.
	That we no longer have these clear delineated right and wrong boundaries.
	That everything is somewhat gelatinous.
	And these children are increasingly coming from broken homes as well.
	And they find themselves rudderless.
	Then you're a father and you understand it's important What happens at home has a profound impact on what your children do out there.
	Too many children don't have the blessings of having a stable environment at home.
	And we have to look at what has changed in society and not have a knee-jerk response that another rule and another regulation is the answer.
	So immediately in the troll room, people are like, damn video games!
	Shut up!
	Check yourself out, morons.
	The whole point of what I'm trying to say is, by itself, video games do not create killers.
	By itself, violence in movies and television do not create killers.
	But once you introduce the drugs into the equation, yes, then I think you can be coerced.
	And that may have been going on.
	You can just flip out.
	There's a whole bunch of reasons.
	Once you get the drugs into the system, then everything's off the table.
	Everything you've learned, every trauma you've had as a child will come to the forefront and will come out.
	It has nothing to do with banning guns and music and don't call me Tipper Gore 3.0.
	Fuck you.
	Listen carefully.
	We all agree on the drugs.
	I like the fact that this chat room, which is, I don't even see it, It gets you so worked up.
	It's annoying.
	Just as dimension B can be bad, dimension A has its problems.
	So you've got to be a little more thoughtful about this stuff.
	I used to have a comment in some of my older stock speeches that I used to give.
	When it came to how much should you...
	And I'm very liberal with the way I raise the kids.
	And Mimi was too.
	And it wasn't from laziness.
	It was from like, you know, let's see what the kids can...
	They're not stupid.
	And so they would play, when they were younger, they would play Grand Theft Auto.
	Yeah.
	Has your son killed a hooker lately?
	No, he's never killed a hooker.
	That you know of.
	Whatever.
	But that's the punchline, so let me get to it.
	Yeah.
	So I would explain this and it would be about, you know, getting how simulators do work because the first time I first understood how well they worked was when I was doing an old radio show called Software Hard Talk and I had a guy in there, an army guy, who explained that they have these competitions every year where the army, the tank corps in all these different countries fight these fake battles and we were losing.
	We lost constantly.
	We were lousy.
	And until they introduced simulators, so guys could train on the simulators, and all of a sudden we were the number one tank corps in the world, because we used simulators.
	So simulators are a big deal.
	So I said, as the punchline, my kids don't have the mentality, they're not going to go out and shoot hookers, but if they ever wanted to become an auto thief, they'd be damn good at it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And I think there's plenty of studies, and actually, so now we come back to assassination generation, because I was pretty convinced there was no evidence of movies or video games creating violent beings, and there isn't.
	But the training aspect, absolutely.
	And this guy, who was a former military analyst who wrote the book, Was he a military analyst?
	Let me see what he was.
	He said he was a trainer.
	He trained people to assassinate.
	And he says what the video games do is pretty much give you the same type of training.
	Now, it's not activated because most people are sane.
	But, man, the minute you add some drugs to the equation, which, as you point out, no one is talking about, God forbid, because we know it's more than $3 billion a year in lobbying alone from the pharmaceutical industry.
	The minute you add that in, then all kinds of cool stuff can happen.
	Usually not good for other human beings.
	Now, I just started reading this book, but it's really interesting.
	The Assassination Generation.
	Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, that's his name.
	The thing that was apparent in the original Columbine shooting...
	Is when they first analyzed it, they talked about these kids.
	And that was 99, so the drugs were there, the kids had drugs.
	And by the way, most of the guns in Columbine were handguns.
	Yes.
	But they were using...
	One guy pointed out that they were using the same...
	Shooting technique that you find in the video games where you take the shoots over and then you immediately shoot someplace else.
	You don't just stay put and target one area.
	I think it was overanalyzed, but it really brought out a lot of facts, including the fact that video games had some influence on the way these kids handled themselves.
	It didn't have any influence.
	I believe I agree with you.
	I don't think it had any influence on them doing this.
	I think it had influence on how they handled themselves.
	Yes.
	And they were good.
	And it was the drugs or whatever they were on.
	And they were both, I think, had issues.
	They shouldn't have had guns.
	Man, the army has created multiple video games.
	And they've paid, they've contributed money for multiple video games to be used as training, as simulation.
	Yeah.
	And I just found it very interesting.
	I think Call of Duty, for example, is probably a training game.
	In fact, if we go back to the, I think it was 1977, I believe, maybe I'm wrong on the date, but there was this movie, I think it was a very funny science fiction movie, called The Last Starfighter, which is still a good movie, if you can find it.
	I'll write it down.
	I mean, your movie picks have usually been pretty weird.
	You'd like this one.
	So this was about, apparently there was a giant battle in space between alien races, and they had planted a couple of video games on Earth.
	And the first kid that could crack one of the games, they got him to come up to be their combat leader to get to that point.
	And it's the same thesis that these games are so good at training that they were being trained on it.
	And I think there was another movie recently that had a similar thesis.
	I can't remember the name of it.
	So one of the memes that has been going around, so now we do get to the mental health because It's very clear that the messages here are mental health and type of guns available, Trump has already talked about, or bump stocks and other bull crap.
	Completely meaningless.
	But the mental health issue, you have to be very careful.
	Because who is going to decide when you are or not competent, You might have read, well, Trump, he made it available for mental patients to get guns because he took out an Obama rule.
	And what that really was, was if someone was deemed incompetent to handle their social security checks, that someone else had to do that for them, they would not have access to a gun.
	That's not a fair measure if someone is competent enough.
	And I agree with that.
	And again, you have a right, and Congress shall make no law to take that right away.
	You can be incompetent at doing checks, but you may not be mentally disturbed.
	So that's a really, really difficult tightrope to walk as to when is someone crazy enough to not have a gun.
	So I think it's a non-starter.
	What we're seeing, and I'll use your words, every politician...
	Any side.
	Unless they are talking about the Second Amendment and the repeal process of it, they're full of shit.
	And they're only using this, and I think completely abusing these children, for political means, the idea is NRA, Republicans, a-holes, vote for us in 2018.
	That's all that this is about.
	They are so insincere.
	Because, of course, if you don't, if we all talk about Canada, we all talk about Australia and all these great places that don't have this, they have other issues, but okay, fine, no school shootings.
	Then let's repeal it.
	Let's all sit down and say, hey, Second Amendment, got to change it.
	And if we have the votes, if the country agrees, that's how democracy works, even in a constitutional republic.
	Then I would lay myself down by that as well.
	I may not want to live here anymore, but that would be the way it would go.
	So any politician who is saying anything but that is full of crap and is abusing these children.
	I agree.
	And the most abused is this David Hogg character.
	And I want to talk about him for a second.
	This is the kid who showed up looking really professional and immediately called a crisis actor.
	I want to talk about that for one second.
	The crisis actor descriptor came about after the Boston Marathon bombing.
	And from everything I saw, it sure looked like there was a lot of phony injury and what you would call crisis actors who act in a drill to look wounded.
	Even the explosions were questionable how much damage they could have caused.
	What happened is the term crisis actor, which is real, it's a term that is used when they're doing drills.
	You get a crisis actor and it's kind of been bent a little bit like, okay, when we do something fake, then we bring in the crisis actors.
	The Boston Marathon bombing fit that the best.
	But then we had these other events and it became someone who would be talking about it.
	And depending on how they spoke about it, they were now a crisis actor, which meant someone who was discussing the situation, not pretending to be a victim.
	And now anyone who is saying something out of the ordinary or that looks too professional or looks too old or has been on television more than once or has a doppelganger that looks like that person somewhere, crisis actor, false flag hoax.
	I think kids died here.
	Was the shooter coerced, or what reasons did he have for doing it?
	I think that's something that definitely needs to be looked at.
	But this kid, if he's a crisis actor, and he is being abused, completely abused, then he's actually doing it for a better reason than we might think, because I took a little time to listen to what he was saying.
	But first, I'll play this clip.
	That really started it off, where he is being interviewed, I believe by CNN, and if you can find this video, it keeps getting taken off YouTube, you'll see the title.
	He can't remember his lines, he's being coached!
	We had had a fire alarm earlier that day, and that was a drill, so we thought this was a drill too, just another one.
	Because we have a lot of fire alarms, a lot of fire drills at the school.
	After we heard the first gunshot, we initially thought it was a drill.
	Actually, that was a bad choice.
	Hold on.
	It's okay.
	You're fine.
	Actually, that was a bad choice because the janitor...
	Sorry.
	It's okay.
	You're fine, David.
	You're fine.
	Honestly, when I was going out, I was kind of in...
	Hold on.
	It's okay.
	When I was going out, I was in shock.
	Yes, hang on.
	I don't know how to put this in perspective.
	It's okay.
	So most of my friends that made it out...
	One of them went into a bathroom, I believe, in the same hallway as the shooter.
	Hold on.
	One of them went into the same bathroom, I believe, as the hallway shooter.
	He was in there at the same time, and he was in the bathroom, and he didn't know if he was going to live.
	So, yes, he's being coached through this segment, and the conversation should not be about whether he's learning his lines properly.
	You should realize this is how every single thing you see on the news is done.
	That's the beauty of this clip.
	Every talking head you see, they'll do this.
	Yeah, could you answer me with the question first so we get a nice tight little thing for the package?
	Could you do that again?
	Just one for safety.
	And could you just mention this part and just go back and...
	Yeah, let's do that one one more time.
	Am I wrong?
	No, I've had camera crews here when I did little spots for this and that.
	Not the where you go into the studio.
	That doesn't happen so much.
	No, no.
	This is on the street.
	He was on the street.
	On a live show, it never happens.
	Of course not.
	But it's a different kind of person that gets on the live shows because they know you're going to be able to handle it.
	You know the ropes.
	But if it's a film bit that you're taking a shot of, they're constantly making you change the way you answer the questions.
	Yes, continuously.
	So this kid, who may or may not...
	The main one is that, can you kind of ask the question to yourself?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Can you use the question at the beginning of your answer?
	So it's not out of context?
	Yeah, so let's give an example.
	So you're interviewing me?
	Yeah.
	So Adam, I understand you were at the shooting.
	I was at the shooting.
	Can you say more than just a simple yes and no answer?
	Add a little more to it.
	Adam, let's start over.
	Adam, so you were at the shooting?
	I was at the shooting and then I would continue with my answer.
	It's that kind of stuff.
	Stuff like that.
	Very common.
	So, what we're seeing here is very bothersome to me.
	We're seeing that the grown-ups are so embroiled in bullcrap, face-bag anger with each other, they decided, oh, here's a good idea.
	Let's take the kids to do it.
	Everyone will listen to them.
	You chicken-shit cowards.
	It's really disturbing.
	Now, So the kid has a format, and they abused him everywhere.
	I have a compilage of this kid.
	Well, there's also a thing that floats around Twitter, which was a classmate.
	I think this may have been a complete hoax, but it was funny.
	So it's a classmates.com thing that he graduated already, like last year, from a school in California.
	Sure.
	This kid is...
	His mom took him to CNN. He wants to be a news guy.
	Well, the dad's a cop, isn't he?
	Ex-FBI. Yeah, the dad's ruining his kid.
	Well, either way, this kid was...
	Maybe it was the Bureau who said, your kid's good at this.
	He'll be number one.
	He'll be the star that we're going to abuse.
	And all these kids, you probably saw the pictures of them at CBS all smiling and mugging each other for a selfie, which seems very inappropriate.
	It's because they've been made into media stars, and this is what children live for today.
	Listen to the format, but also listen to what the kid is actually saying in this compilage of David Hogg everywhere being abused by his parents and the media.
	David Hogg.
	David Hogg.
	And David Hogg.
	David Hogg is here with me now.
	What do you want people to know?
	I want people to picture themselves as children because really what all of us are are just grown-up children.
	Children will continue to die if we don't take a stand now.
	Children are dying and they will continue to die unless we stop it, stand up, and take action.
	I support the Second Amendment, but for God's sake, how can we knowingly pass bills and laws that are in direct opposition to saving kids' lives?
	President Trump, you control the House of Representatives, you control the Senate, and you control the Executive.
	You haven't taken a single bill for mental health care or gun control and passed it.
	And that's pathetic.
	We've seen a government shutdown, we've seen tax reform, but nothing to save our children's lives.
	Are you kidding me?
	You think now is the time to focus on the past and not the future to prevent the death?
	This, by the way, he's reading from a cue card.
	You can actually see the cue card reflection in his eyes on this close shot.
	So they were totally giving him the script.
	That the thousands of other children?
	You sicken me.
	Working together to save these children's lives is what this country needs.
	If you let this keep happening, it's going to be your kid that's next.
	How many more students are going to have to die and have their blood spilt in American classrooms trying to make the world a better place?
	So what do you say to the NRA? They give millions of dollars to politicians.
	If you can't get elected without taking money from child murderers, why are you running?
	I will not feel safe going back to school myself until reasonable mental health care legislation and gun control legislation is passed.
	Every answer is the solution at this point because we haven't tried any of them and we need a multifaceted approach to this extremely complex problem because if we don't have that, this will never come to an end.
	We need a multifaceted attack to prevent these things from ever happening again.
	Take action.
	Ideas are great.
	Ideas are wonderful and they help you get re-elected and everything.
	But what's more important is actual action and pertinent action that results in saving thousands of children's lives.
	Please, take action.
	Thoughts and prayers go out to people and we're going to propose all of these ideas.
	We don't need ideas.
	We need action.
	We need action from our elected officials and we need action from the civic public because without that, this is going to happen again.
	We need discussion.
	We've had the debates and people have died as a result.
	Children have died and will continue to if we don't stop now and look at both sides of this because We can't wait around any longer.
	Children are dying as a result.
	And we need to take action.
	But what we really need is action.
	Because we can say, yes, we're going to do all these things, thoughts and prayers.
	What we need more than that is action.
	I think what we really need is a multifaceted attack, as I said earlier.
	Wow, David, you are a well-spoken young man.
	David, incredibly poised delivery of information tonight.
	You were so plain-spoken and so vocal and so strong.
	David Hogg, you are a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas massacre, but you're also a journalist.
	And you're my peer, and hopefully one day you'll be a colleague.
	So you notice the format there was, kids are going to die, we need to take action.
	Action, action, action.
	NRA is the culprit.
	Yes.
	And what he consistently says, and this is why I think it's a tell, he consistently talks about mental health care.
	And not a single time did he mention take away guns, restrict types of guns, none of that.
	In fact, when he was on with Pooper, With his dad, who's very young for a retired FBI guy, he was asked about this conspiracy that he's a crisis actor, which apparently was tweeted, and Donald Trump Jr., moron, he liked the tweet, and of course hilarity ensued.
	But again, listen to what the kid says.
	First of all, that Donald Trump Jr.
	is liking tweets, espousing a conspiracy theory involving you and your dad.
	I'm wondering, what goes through your mind when you hear that?
	I'm just so sorry that these people have lost their faith.
	Hey, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's an accusation.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well, you're not going to get that out of the lexicon.
	Because it's more fun to call it a conspiracy theory, because it brings up all kinds of cool visuals.
	It's like, hey, that guy killed that guy.
	What, are you a conspiracy theorist?
	No, I'm accusing him.
	That's pretty much it.
	I mean, come on, there's a huge difference between a conspiracy theory and an accusation, which is what that was.
	But anyway, go on, I'm just making a point.
	What goes through your mind when you hear that?
	I'm just so sorry that these people have lost their faith in America because I know I certainly haven't.
	The fact that these people refuse to believe that something like this could happen is something that all of us don't want to believe, but the sad truth is that it is.
	These people saying this is absolutely disturbing, and I'm not an actor in any sense, way, shape, or form.
	I'm the son of a former FBI agent, and that is true.
	But as such, it is also true that I go to Stoneman Douglas High School, and I was a witness to this.
	I'm not a crisis actor.
	I'm somebody that had to witness this and live through this, and I continue to have to do that.
	But I'm also...
	It's just...
	It's unbelievable to me that these people are even saying this, and the fact that Donald Trump Jr.
	liked that post is disgusting to me, but it's also false in terms of the sense that these people keep saying that I'm anti-Sec Amendment.
	I'm not.
	I want every American to be able to own a gun that has a mentally stable mind, A person that has a credible background that doesn't have any previous major convictions and somebody that's not going to go out and commit these atrocities because those are the people that are at fault here.
	So, I'm going to presume this kid is not a crisis actor, but he is a kid who is being abused by the media and by his dad and by the system to propagate one message.
	Mental health.
	Not SSRIs, but mental health.
	Yeah, there's no mention of drugs.
	I have a couple of observations because of that long clip you played with him being called out on the different news cable systems.
	It's apparent from the beginning that he's not good, and you could hear it in that last clip.
	This kid is a kid.
	Yeah.
	And he's not an actor.
	He's obviously never even taken dramatic arts and he doesn't go to improv or do anything where he can be a little smoother.
	In that last segment, it was extremely rough.
	And in the first thing that everyone's passing around where he's being coached to answer things that are usable, it's rough.
	It's terrible.
	He's no good.
	He's nervous.
	You can see that when he had a cue card, as you pointed out, you can see it reflected in his face.
	And obviously he was reading from a prompter on half those things or something, a cue card or a prompter, and I think a prompter is possible.
	He sounds a lot.
	I mean, he sounds like he's reading.
	Every one of that whole middle segment you played all sounded like he was reading poorly.
	And this is exactly what if somebody who first gets it, sees a prompter, starts using a prompter for the first time.
	They all sound like this.
	It takes a long time before you can relax a little bit and sound kind of normal when you're reading from a prompter.
	It's all this very sticky sound.
	We've got a very staid, and then, and then, and then.
	You know, there's no emotion in the voice.
	It's got no modulation because he doesn't know what words are coming up.
	He's just reading.
	And so it's very monotone.
	And so this kid is not a crisis actor.
	He's not an actor, that's for sure.
	But it's like, can't they find a different kid?
	Yeah.
	Well, they found a whole bunch of kids, and the kids all went to the State Senate, and they went to Washington, lying in front of the White House.
	And what they've all been given is, hey, hey, ho, ho, NRA has got to go.
	Vote them out.
	Vote them out.
	Take action now.
	It's completely empty.
	It's completely empty.
	Why?
	There's no one who has said, repeal.
	Just repeal the Second Amendment.
	Why that is not happening can only be for political motive.
	It's just to keep the pot stirred.
	Yes, for the election.
	So we can keep this thing going until 2018 election comes along and that can be one of the issues.
	That part of it is so political.
	It's mean.
	I think a bunch of kids were killed.
	We don't know how many kids were killed, but they were killed.
	And they don't care.
	Nobody gives a crap about these kids.
	They'd rather go out and push their agenda of getting more Democrats elected.
	Period.
	That's it.
	That's all it's about.
	Yes.
	At least that's what it's being used for and why it was done.
	We may never know.
	You don't get much out of the killers who live.
	We still don't.
	Although, I think there's going to be a court case for the Charlottesville guy who ran the car into the crowd.
	Someone sent me that he is actually going to come before a judge or a jury or whatever it is.
	Oh, that should be interesting.
	Yeah, but you won't hear much about it.
	You just won't.
	There's some annoying other details about this.
	The $880,000 inheritance the shooter was set to receive.
	These things are annoying to me.
	Now there's lawsuits as to who gets the inheritance.
	Is it the adoptive mom?
	Why doesn't he still get the inheritance?
	Well, I'm just telling you there's a lawsuit now to take control of the inheritance by the adopted parents that he left when he wanted to bring guns into the house.
	They're suing.
	They say, we should have $880,000.
	We should be able to maintain it for him, and we get a fee, and all this stuff.
	That's called bleeding him dry.
	There'll be nothing left after the fees.
	We still don't know much about his brother, who is under the Baker Act, which you have in Florida, which no one talks about either.
	I keep yelling.
	That bothers me, too, that the brother's never been discussed or interviewed.
	And he might still be locked up.
	I mean, the Baker Act gives you 12 hours, I think.
	But this is another thing that wasn't discussed.
	This is a well-known law in Florida.
	You can commit someone involuntarily, certainly someone underage, with a phone call.
	The cops come out, Baker Act, you're off to jail for 12 hours.
	That's why they have it.
	So why wasn't that used?
	Why didn't anyone step in?
	What's going on?
	If you are hosting a child, or adoptive child, I think you would know these things.
	I have no idea.
	I've been baffled by some of the un-coverage.
	They just keep harping on the same thing in this kid.
	And all these other little details seem to be left by the roadside.
	Yeah.
	Well, of course, the news media is not doing any justice to any of this.
	See, the Vegas massacre.
	Well, the Vegas massacre, I'm not going to blame the news media as much as on this one because the Vegas massacre was a...
	Well, they stopped reporting.
	Law enforcement is such a mess insofar as giving out information, letting anybody know anything or even trying to investigate it.
	Yeah.
	And lying...
	They're changing the timeline two or three times.
	I mean, I think the news media is still trying to do that story.
	I think it's just being thwarted.
	Yeah, it's not working.
	There are, of course, we see stories about Toxic masculinity.
	This is my favorite.
	This is a big face bag meme.
	Toxic masculinity keeps cropping up.
	I believe that this is a...
	I think it's a talking point by a group that's got nothing to do with the main promoters of the boiled Democrats in.
	Correct.
	And they may be screwing it up for everybody.
	Yes.
	This is USA Today.
	Are boys broken?
	Another mass shooting renews debate on toxic masculinity, which is a very interesting concept.
	And the problem identified is one feminists have been talking about for decades.
	It's called toxic masculinity.
	The stereotypical sense of masculinity that embodies behavior such as denying help or emotions, which psychologists and sociologists say are harmful to men and to society.
	It's the things in our culture, from toys given to movies watched to messages parents consciously and unconsciously send, that tells boys and men, quote, being a real man means repressing feelings and consistently demonstrating strength and dominance.
	Transcription by CastingWords And so that is where toxic masculinity comes from.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's a gem.
	Yeah.
	We often talk about gender in terms of women getting the short end of the stick.
	Well, masculinity isn't easy either.
	Jennifer Carson, a sociology professor at the University of Arizona who studies gun politics and gender, told USA Today after the mass shooting in Las Vegas October, that's not your ticket to the good life.
	It isn't easy to be a man in the United States.
	It's demands put on men, whether it's to be the protector, to be the provider, to respond to situations in certain ways, to prove yourself as a man, end up being not just outwardly destructive, but also inwardly destructive.
	Chris Rock, I saw his new Netflix show.
	Oh, he's got something new?
	Yeah, and pretty much from the beginning, he starts off by saying, I want equality for all children in all schools.
	I want to see white moms crying when their kids are killed with guns.
	And it came out pretty much the same week that this shooting took place.
	Yeah, I saw some other black guys complaining about white kids, you know, It's always black kids that are getting killed around this era period of the school shooting.
	It was almost all white kids that got killed.
	Very poor timing.
	Right.
	But he's got a point.
	And the point is, we never talk about anything but when it happens to white kids.
	So all of this is racist to start off with.
	Well, that's because it's almost a daily occurrence in Oakland, and nobody seems to care.
	Yeah, if you go to heyjackass.com, it gives you the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual stats for Chicago.
	I mean, one weekend is just seven kids killed, and then 50 wounded, shot up.
	Anyway, we're not going to solve this, but we can tell you that all of this that you're seeing is only for political reasons.
	This is all that it's about.
	And man, is the news media complicit.
	Well, they feel bad about Trump becoming president.
	They blame themselves.
	Many times you'll see a story about how the news media twist the reality of the situation of 2016 by saying the news media elected Trump, the pro-Trump media.
	I've seen the term pro-Trump media and every time I see it I kind of cock my head and I realize what they're talking about.
	about they're talking about the fact that the media by not taking trump seriously and using him as a item to get attention uh to get viewership they gave him all this free publicity by ridiculing him right and they proving the point that no publicity is bad publicity apparently proved it in aces and so they somewhat blame themselves
	they're guilt-ridden anyway because They're mostly kind of the guilty liberal types.
	And they feel so bad about this that they have to promote getting him out in a subtle way.
	I mean, that's sometimes not so subtle, but generally speaking, they cover Maxine Waters.
	Why would anyone cover this lunatic?
	Why do we have clips of her?
	Well, why do we have clips of her?
	Because she's entertaining.
	Because they cover her.
	We wouldn't get these clips if everyone just said that she's just a crazy old woman.
	True, true.
	Well, even then we might play a clip once in a while, end a show.
	Well, we could dig along.
	We could go to C-Span.
	I mean, Reclaim My Time was a C-Span clip.
	Yeah, you're right, you're right.
	And so we can do that, but generally speaking...
	When she's on the stump or when she's doing these little in-between things where she's not in Congress and she's roaming around, they cover it and we get the clips.
	Why are they covering?
	This woman's nuts.
	Well, why are they?
	Because they feel guilty.
	They're agreeing with her.
	They think Trump should be impeached because it was a mistake he got in because of them.
	I see.
	I see.
	Yes.
	I really believe they obviously feel this way.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	That's a good point.
	Well, we should pile on and say, hey, you know, you basically killed those kids by helping get Trump elected.
	Yes, we could do that.
	It's very dishonest.
	So we won't do it, but we could easily do it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, blame the media for the kids getting killed.
	I just got two clips to kind of wrap this up.
	Let's see.
	Oh, this was on CNBC. Boy, those guys are stupid.
	That's what I'm suggesting.
	That's where the real leverage lies.
	It's not in how people will...
	Look, a lot of people buy with cash.
	They're payday loan people.
	There are all sorts of ways that people buy guns.
	And just to clarify, though, Andrew, your column isn't about all guns.
	It's about the AR-15, right, for the benefit of the viewer who hasn't actually read it.
	Yes.
	I want to be very clear.
	This is not an...
	This is Andrew Ross Sorkin, who's always...
	They suck his...
	They suck him off every morning.
	...effort to take guns away from people in America.
	There are laws, and lessen and told people want to change the laws.
	This is not that conversation.
	This is a business conversation about corporations...
	Conversation, then.
	...to the extent that people believe that corporations are supposed to be responsible.
	When it comes to the AR-15...
	And this is about semi-automatic weapons like the AR-15 and products like bump stocks and products like high-capacity magazines, which arguably, and you look at the polls, there are a lot of people, even gun owners, who find those parts of things objectionable.
	By the way, there's other people, and there's a big Second Amendment issue, who say, I want to be able to buy my AR-15.
	And I'm not saying, by the way, that we're banning AR-15s in this proposal.
	There are just certain stores that would have to sell them and decide they don't want to have access to certain types of credit products.
	That's their great solution.
	Is do it through credit cards.
	That'll stop everything.
	And then here's kind of a summary.
	We've been watching this student protest in front of the White House this afternoon, protesting against gun violence.
	We've seen that the president's got a meeting later on today with a number of students.
	Who've been affected by gun violence.
	And I just spoke to a White House official who signaled some new flexibility on the part of the president in terms of his thinking about gun violence.
	This official telling me that the White House is now open to the idea of rather than banning some guns for all people, that is, the assault weapons ban or banning AR-15s for all people, they would propose banning all guns for some people.
	That is, people who are flagged in some way as mental health concerns.
	This official said this idea is not fully processed yet, needs to go through several steps, but this is an idea that they're working on here at the White House, and it signals some new flexibility on the part of the President of the United States.
	The official told me that the debate around guns has become calcified in this country.
	The official said our posture right now is listening to everything, but expressed a skepticism that traditional gun control, as proposed by Democrats up on Capitol Hill, could actually pass.
	Looking for new ways into the gun control debate.
	And one option they're considering here at the White House is a way to ban some people from getting access to all guns, including perhaps handguns, rifles, and the AR-15, as opposed to an assault weapons ban, which would ban everybody from getting particular types of guns.
	So some real approaches of new thinking here at the White House on this gun control issue on a week where it's become front and center in the nation's mind.
	New thinking.
	I have another observation.
	Yeah.
	But again, war on crazy people.
	That's what the thing is about.
	That's the database they want.
	They want the crazy people.
	Otherwise, they'd go back to some of the old, again, back to Question Authority, that era, a bumper sticker era that had a lot of meaningful bumper stickers.
	The other one that was very prominent on the right, the Question Authority was actually a left.
	It was the left that used that sticker.
	Even though they don't adopt that thesis anymore, they've somehow been talked out of it.
	But on the right, there used to be a bumper sticker, and it used to be a saying, and this was the real hue and cry of the gun guys.
	And it was, when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
	And that is a very poignant...
	Commentary, because you hear people talk about this.
	Well, just because, you know, you ban guns, nobody can have guns anymore, doesn't mean that criminals will kick...
	They'll just...
	There's 300 million guns in the country.
	Even if you got rid of 200 million of them, there'd still be 100 million to choose from.
	And then, as we showed on a recent episode, 18,000 guns a year, minimum or more, are stolen from the police.
	And so the outlaws will have guns no matter what you do.
	And the thing about it is that comment, outlaws will have guns, was on the Republican side or the conservative side of the aisle of the argument.
	I've not heard it anymore, which makes me begin to think that the Republicans are also all in.
	Yes.
	Not all of them, but most of them.
	It's just like, you know, the Democrats own Fox.
	You know, they're both doing it.
	They're both abusing the system.
	Yes.
	And they would love this.
	This is a great way out.
	Oh, let's just ban crazy people.
	That seems to be the problem.
	Everybody who kills people is crazy.
	It's a step in the right direction to disarming the American public.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Yes, it is.
	And I don't see the Republicans putting up much of a fight.
	And if they were, they'd bring back the old saying, when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
	I do not see anybody Bringing back that old phrase, which has a lot of deep meaning, and it works.
	I think it was someone who was on the Twitters with you and said, you know, if people really think Trump is Hitler, and knowing that guns are certainly intended to protect the Republic from enemies from outside and from within...
	Then this would be the moment you don't want to take away guns if Trump is truly Hitler.
	So, of course, that would be logic we can't employ, but that is how stupid this whole argument is.
	I think I said something about the logic and then I got blasted.
	You know, I got an email.
	I got an email from a guy in L.A., Gary.
	You know, I guess the last time this happened or whenever I registered repealed2.org.
	I thought it would be a cool domain to have to just, you know, put up there, hey, Politicians are full of crap.
	If they're serious, they'll want to go through the repeal process.
	And I figured I'd put that stuff up there.
	Never got around to it.
	I get an email.
	Hi, Adam.
	I see you have registered the domain repeal2.org.
	Is this related to the Second Amendment?
	And if so, are you for or against repealing it?
	Gary.
	That's it.
	And so I answer, well, why do you want to know?
	He says, well, oh yeah, this is real Dimension B stuff.
	After the latest school shooting, there's finally some chatter about repealing the Second Amendment.
	We are the only nation to have such a constitutional right.
	Australia banned all guns in 99, their murder by gun rate dropped dramatically.
	I have some background in activism and spearheaded a New York City effort that got 75,000 signatures a few years ago.
	I'm inspired to start a national campaign to repeal the Second Amendment and have taken the domain repeal2.net.
	But repeal2.org is really the preferred domain for a non-profit 501c4, which is a lobbying group, that I'm incorporating in the state of California where I currently reside.
	Would you consider transferring the domain to my org to support this effort?
	Please feel free to call me to discuss.
	GaryCaskill.com if you want to look him up.
	And I say, you know, hey, I believe in the Constitution.
	My goal for Repeal 2.org is to explain the uniqueness of our republic, to assert that all lawmakers proposing gun laws are insincere and are only abusing victims for political gain, specifically for the 2018 midterm elections.
	And so I say, no, I wrote a little bit more.
	From your note, I'm unsure if you understand all this, and that's exactly the reason why I will be using repeal2.org to explain this in simple terms.
	I'll be happy to link to repeal2.net once you have it up and running.
	And then he comes back, yeah, I believe in the Constitution, but that's why I'm interested in beginning the repeal process.
	I'm unclear of your explanation of what you actually intend to do.
	And he keeps trying to get me to call him, which I did not do.
	I said, look, I want to create an independent resource that explains the constitutional process.
	That's different from participating in a movement to repealing the amendment.
	We have different missions.
	So the direct answer is no, I don't want to transfer the domain name.
	Then this guy just keeps emailing me.
	Uh, not sure why you need a dedicated website for information that's available on Wikipedia and in every high school civics class, but thanks for offering to link to my site.
	Wait, if you're explaining the constitutional process, why do you need repeal2.org?
	Why not just repeal.org?
	And then finally, I'm not answering this guy, troubling you do not respond to my question.
	For someone who claims to have no agenda, you're not acting like it.
	And I just haven't come up with a good response yet because I'd like to egg him on a little bit, this guy.
	Well, you know what I'd do.
	Please, do tell.
	I know, but I sound like a mercenary every time I say something like this.
	I say, well, when you get enough money, I'll sell you the domain for $25,000 cash.
	And I'll be done with it.
	You can do whatever you can, you know...
	Go knock yourself out.
	Okay.
	Good idea.
	Don't you think?
	You really think this Gary Caskill, who was an animal rights activist and his claim to fame...
	Hey, if he gets 75,000 signatures, he can get $25,000 to give you to get that domain if he wants it that badly.
	It's worth probably more like $100,000 or more.
	And maybe someone will come along and give you that, because it is a good one.
	But this guy has repealed too, and he's got this.net.
	He wants the.org.
	Sell it to him.
	Tell him you're a true American, and you'll sell it to him.
	And then knock yourself out, kid.
	I'm a true American.
	I'm going to sell it to you, like a true American would do.
	All about the Benjamins, baby.
	Bring it.
	Yes.
	Boom!
	Yeah.
	That's what I do.
	We'll work on that.
	By the way, I think $25,000 is a reasonable price.
	It's a good deal.
	It gets it off your hands and makes a few little money for the champagne collection.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. He stands for Constitutional Lawyer.
	Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Yes, and in the morning to the troll room.
	All over the map this morning.
	Noagendastream.com.
	Always good to see you guys, though.
	You never...
	Never a boring moment there in the troll room.
	Also, in the morning to CZ in 137, he's back after a little bit of a hiatus with a great piece of artwork for episode 1009.
	The title of that was Best Cod Piece, and he did The Tree of Media.
	Where you, on the tree, you have the branches with the logos of NBC, Fox, CNN, CBS, ABC, and underneath, on the roots, you see little logos of NSA, CIA, and the Illuminati.
	Nice piece.
	Worked very well.
	A lot of people commented on it, too, on the tweeters.
	And we are probably the only, if not the only, one of the very few shows that has fresh artwork for every podcast for your enjoyment.
	And we thank Season 137 and all of our artists because it does make a difference.
	Thank you.
	And check out all the work at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And we do have a few people to thank as associated producers and executive producers for show.
	what is our number?
	1010. 1010. 1010. 1010. 1010. 1010. 1010 wins.
	Starting with Kelly Sandlin.
	500 bucks.
	No jingles, no karma.
	NJNK.
	Thank you very much.
	Appreciate it.
	Thank you very much.
	Then we went to Baron Don Borowski in Spokane Valley, Washington.
	He sent, by the way, I didn't realize he sent the Snowden on the Federation letterhead, so it would get read no matter what, even though this time it's $33.33.
	What is the actual Federation title?
	It's the United Federation of Planets.
	Starfleet Command, exactly.
	And by the way, the stamp on the envelope...
	Yes.
	A Star Trek stamp.
	Of course.
	With the logo.
	Yeah, he actually prints them.
	He might.
	I think there's an actual post office one.
	I didn't know they did those.
	Okay, he writes, Hey guys, my December donation of 33333 never showed up.
	Uh-oh.
	So here's the make good check I promised on show 1000.
	I reproduced my original note as best I can remember.
	And here it is.
	Here's a sack of threes to celebrate my three years of listening and no agenda.
	This is my first full producership.
	So, I make my first jingle request.
	For the end of show, I would like to hear the Crackpot and Buzzkill song.
	Uh, what song is that?
	No idea.
	I don't know.
	I feel really bad now.
	Okay, here it is.
	This one is easy to find.
	It opens show number 300.
	All right.
	We may have to go look it up and give it to you next week.
	Oh, I think it may be...
	I think it's this one.
	Oh, yes, that's it.
	That's the one, right?
	Okay.
	All right.
	I'll play it at the end.
	Cheers and beer, Sir Donald of the Fire Bottles.
	And he says, over.
	Over.
	Baron of Spokane Valley.
	WA60MI. Yes, 73s.
	Or OMI, sorry.
	WA60MI. 73s.
	Kilo 5 Alpha.
	Charlie Charlie.
	He also says, find and close a review of the book Men Without Work, America's Invisible Crisis.
	Much interesting information in the review.
	I will read that.
	And I want to thank him for becoming an executive producer for show 1010.
	Beautiful.
	No jingles besides just the song at the end?
	No, I just want that at the end.
	All right, good.
	Done.
	Done, done, done.
	Onward to...
	Ah, I'm waiting for...
	My ears are waiting and open, waiting for...
	Oh, yes, yes.
	Sorry, I'm slacking.
	Yeah, here we go.
	Yeah, I got it.
	News Bomb!
	Work for...
	Shit.
	Pressure's not ants on the mic.
	Yeah, Nest Bomb.
	News Bomb!
	You said Nest Bomb.
	Nice double shot of noose bomb.
	Wow.
	Maybe you can come in more often just to hear that again.
	$333 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
	So 1010 times 33 is, of course, 330.
	I could have done that myself.
	I didn't do it.
	So please, Adam and John, I need you now more than ever.
	Hugs and kisses, love and light.
	Yes, 7-3s and 88s.
	7-3s and 88s.
	That's hugs and kisses.
	XOXO. Associate Executive Producers, we got Sir Reddy Kilowatt, 210 bucks.
	Sir Reddy Kilowatt of the chat room donating my annual payment on show 1010, also binary 10.
	Ah.
	Yes.
	So it must mean – another one I missed.
	So it must mean – I try to put these in the newsletter as potential donations, and I missed a bunch of them here.
	Ever since last year's story about using smartphones on the toilet and germs, I quit cold turkey.
	I forgot about those stories.
	The germs on your phone.
	Since that's where I usually read Twitter, I no longer read it and quit that, too.
	Yeah, well, good for you.
	Feeling much better overall.
	Could hear the old jingle that goes.
	Would love to hear the old jingle that goes.
	When you wake up with the blues, trying to fill your head with news, you know, that one.
	Yeah.
	Because it sums up how I feel about it.
	It sums up how I feel about the show, but also like a little relationship karma for me and my smoking hot girlfriend.
	I'm just trying to think what the title of that.
	When you wake up in the news.
	It's a coffee song.
	No agenda.
	Oh, in the morning.
	Yeah, it's the...
	Shoot, I don't remember.
	Yeah, it's a coffee song in the morning.
	Hold on.
	Is it called coffee?
	No, but I know it's a jingle taken from a coffee jingle, I think.
	Because I have...
	When you wake up in the blues...
	No, it's called something.
	Well, I have this one.
	It's not the same.
	It's not the same one.
	I'll have to look it up, and I'll see if I can find it for the end of the show.
	Meanwhile, here's the karma.
	Here's the karma.
	You've got karma.
	James Martin, 200 bucks.
	Keep up the good work, guys.
	That's it.
	Anonymous, 200 bucks.
	It says anonymous.
	And Edward Halsey in Oakland, Oaktown, 200 bucks.
	Jingle.
	Play the Mrs.
	Curry, authorities knocking jingle and karma.
	The what?
	Mr.
	Curry, Mr.
	Curry!
	Oh, okay.
	Well, you're going to have to wait for one second because I did a database search on blues and, okay, it just came back.
	It's bigger than I ever wanted.
	Okay, so the knocking.
	Never use that word again.
	Yeah, don't do that.
	I have the Dvorak.
	Do I have it for me?
	Let me see.
	And a Karma.
	You've got Karma.
	You nailed it.
	And that will be our group of...
	Two associate, three associate executive, or three, oh, actually, four associates and three executive producers for show 1010.
	I want to thank all these people for helping get this show off the ground.
	Yes, these are our executive and associate executive producers.
	These are credits you can only receive when you come in with support at the $200 or $300 level, and that's why we put you right at the front, just like Hollywood, where the credits really do matter.
	And, of course, we're happy to thank everybody who came in 50 and above in our podcast.
	D block?
	Is it D or E block?
	I don't know.
	One of those blocks.
	And we really appreciate that.
	These titles are real.
	You can use them anywhere.
	Credits are recognized.
	I also want to thank Joshua Polson.
	For registering the domain name bestcodpieceintheuniverse.com, which now forwards to the No Agenda Show website.
	We highly appreciate that.
	And for all of you, another show is coming up on Sunday.
	We need all the help we can get.
	There's a lot of work going into this deconstruction, and it is, after all, your show, your production.
	Remember us at...
	When I think one of these days, we got another award show, so you'll be seeing people.
	Propagate the formula towards them.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	What the fuck?
	Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	There's something cool happening in Austin.
	Let me see.
	They haven't pinned down the date, but it seems to be mid-March.
	They're going to implode a building downtown.
	Oh, that's always fun.
	Have you ever seen that?
	Only on YouTube.
	Oh, no, you've got to go see it.
	I've seen a couple of these.
	I saw them bring down the...
	The biggest smokestack on the West Coast.
	Oh, yeah.
	Shoot, that must have been really nice.
	Well, what was interesting about it, it didn't go straight down because it's a smokestack and it's almost impossible to make that work.
	Yes, it kind of folded and crashed on top of itself.
	Well, they made it want to fall over because there was a big empty space for it to land.
	Mm-hmm.
	And it's made out of bricks.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	Well, actually, nothing went wrong, except when it hit, because there was so much soot, ash, and whatever that was built up inside the thing, it made this huge plume.
	Oh, yeah.
	And luckily, and since it was a lead smelter...
	Everyone died.
	Great.
	Well, luckily, if you were upwind, it wasn't an issue, but I can't imagine what the lead content of the soil was in the downwind area after that.
	This is Block 71 downtown.
	I can see it from my balcony.
	You can watch it implode from your balcony.
	Well, it's only 10 stories, so I can see maybe the top three.
	I don't think I'll be able to see it at the bottom.
	You have to go see it.
	I think I'll just have to go out there and look at it.
	But that's kind of cool.
	It's very cool to watch, yeah.
	Shithole Nation is what we're living in.
	And you saw, I'm sure, the article about downtown San Francisco having trash on every block, poop, drug needles everywhere.
	I mean, just really insane.
	That's San Francisco.
	All of California is a problem.
	And I caught Dr.
	Drew, who was on...
	Did you know he was on the radio during the day, too?
	He was on one of these LA stations.
	He has an afternoon show.
	Yeah.
	I didn't know that.
	And he was talking about Pasadena and Los Angeles with his co-host, and he made a bold prediction, which I think may not be far from the future.
	Pasadena, who we never really, as people that have lived there for a long time, thought of as having wonderful city services...
	They're spectacular.
	Spectacular.
	Our roads work.
	We get power and water.
	We have good trash.
	We have good police and fire.
	And a responsive City Hall.
	I mean, pretty responsive.
	I filmed celebrity rehab there.
	Right.
	And we needed the City Hall to help us with that.
	A bustling downtown now.
	And for God's sakes, Los Angeles, I've got to drive across Los Angeles to get to work every day.
	You know exactly when you cross that border.
	The roads are terrible.
	The sidewalks are all messed up.
	It's unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	It's ridiculous, and it's getting worse.
	And now you can also smell the stench of rotting trash.
	Most of those are the dumps.
	Each little homeless encampment has their own little dump full of rats.
	I'm going to make a prediction right now.
	You know how I have a tendency to kind of know things that are coming?
	Oh, you're a regular Notostradamus.
	We are going to see the plague.
	There will be a plague.
	The plague.
	The black plague.
	Probably a pneumonic plague.
	There will be a plague outbreak.
	You were in here first.
	I'm not kidding.
	Oh my God.
	I'm not kidding.
	And there also will be an outbreak of...
	Murine typhus, which is a rickettsial disease.
	A relative of Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
	All our rodents here carry rickettsial things and the fleas get them and then it gets on us.
	And that's going to happen.
	It's going to happen.
	And so my question is, do we have to wait for that to deal with this problem?
	Or can we have a little moral outrage that we're going down the crap hole like this and we need to do something.
	Let it motivate us to do something.
	Los Angeles, come for the sunsets, stay for the plague.
	This is the classic, almost the morning zoo format with the one Weisenheimer.
	Yeah, yeah, but it was good.
	I liked it.
	I was like, yeah, that makes nothing but sense.
	And this segment went on for 15 minutes, and they brought in some guy who was in charge of city services.
	And it dawned on me, it was too long to play, obviously, but it dawned on me that throughout the entire piece, they're talking about the homeless just as a nuisance that is there.
	Not one second was there any thought of, hey, what can we do to help these people?
	No.
	None of that.
	We've got to get rid of them.
	I did learn something.
	I didn't clip it.
	Do you know why, according to Dr.
	Drew, who has some standing in the air, why so many homeless encampments have bicycle parts everywhere?
	Why they collect bicycle parts?
	I have no idea.
	Typically, because if they're on meth, meth makes people, apparently, makes people want to get inside stuff and open stuff up and see what's going on on the inside and dismantle things.
	Apparently, I don't know, I'm sure we have producers who are standing.
	I've never heard this.
	I didn't hear it either.
	But Drew knows because he ran that clinic with the reality show, so I guess he would know.
	And so they like dismantling stuff and bikes are great for that.
	So you see a lot of bike parts, that's where you can buy some meth.
	Apparently.
	Wow.
	It's kind of like the shoes over the electrical wires.
	You know, he did make that point about Pasadena, which I had visited the last time I was down in L.A. to visit a friend of mine who lives in Pasadena.
	And I was actually stunned how nice Pasadena is.
	What are they doing differently?
	I have no idea.
	It's the government.
	It's always the local government.
	They're not corrupt.
	It's probably what they're doing differently.
	That's been my experience, especially since Mimi works in the government now, one way or another.
	Just a little song to celebrate.
	Everyone's leaving San Francisco Nobody can Everyone's going to Austin, Texas.
	Stay away!
	Be sure to wear some snowflakes in your hair.
	All right, the full-length track at the end of the show.
	That's Secret Agent Paul this time, who's back.
	Oh, that's very good.
	Yeah, that's nice, isn't it?
	The guy's good.
	They're all good.
	We have a lot of good guys that do the job.
	We've got some great guys.
	Want to take a little reprise and get a little Olympics news?
	Oh, I've got Olympic fever.
	I'm ready.
	Well, I've been watching some of the things.
	It's fun to watch.
	The Russian skaters are fantastic.
	We get to watch a lot of women's stuff.
	Women's skiing, women's hockey, women's this, women's that.
	And in fact, this is a clip.
	And I think this summarizes the mania.
	I've got two clips that summarize that are going to be played, one and the other.
	That I think summarized, and this is like the boringest, stupidest sport in the world, cross-country skiing.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Is it just cross-country or biathlon?
	Is it with the shooting?
	No, no, no.
	I love the shooting part.
	I'd be good at that sport.
	No, that's different.
	That's something else.
	Yeah.
	But this is straight women's cross-country skiing, and it turned out to be, well, at least you listen to this guy who I think they hired him from Univision, and he used to do soccer games, but the...
	There's an announcer and a color guy, and the color guy is going berserk, as it turns out to be a really good race between a woman named...
	Did you just say colored guy, like you're a racist from the 50s?
	No, he's a color guy.
	Oh, he's just color.
	Gotcha.
	Sorry, that was my racist mind.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, you're just thinking racism.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm cute.
	I'm sharp.
	I'm ready to detect it.
	That's racist!
	He's the color guy, and he's going absolutely, I think this epitomizes this Olympics because they're making a, it was a good race, and it was very exciting at the end, I have to say.
	And this was, the American is a woman named Diggins.
	Yes.
	And she wins, but you have to hear it, she comes, there's three of them.
	There's a Swede and a Norwegian, and this Diggins woman's in third place coming into the end, and here we go.
	Is he coming?
	Jesse Diggins with two fifth place finishes.
	One-sixth.
	So close for the U.S. on so many occasions.
	Now moving up on the inside.
	Into second place!
	They're all completely gassed!
	They've given it everything on the globble bucket!
	Stearnilson leading Jesse Diggins into the final turn!
	Can Diggins answer?
	As the roars rattle around the cross-country stadium in Pyeongchang, Sweden, the U.S., And Norway coming to the line!
	Here comes Diggins!
	Here comes Diggins!
	Diggins making the play around Sweden!
	Jesse Diggins to the line!
	And it is Jesse Diggins delivering a landmark moment that will be etched in U.S. Olympic history!
	The first ever cross-country gold medal for the U.S. You could have played that over NASCAR. It would have been the same.
	That was good.
	Yeah, kind of at the end of the Daytona.
	Now, this guy with the hoarse voice who's going nuts and he's like blowing out his vocal cords.
	He does have one more ending to this.
	Right after all that, you got to hear this is the ISO. I have gold medal.
	It's a gold medal for the United States.
	It's not just a medal.
	It's the gold.
	End of show, ISO. Perfect.
	It's a beauty.
	Yeah, I had to give up on the Olympics because I'd record it.
	Well, I'd record it and you have to fast forward.
	I just wanted to see the figure skating, not much else.
	And curling I watched during the day.
	Did you see those two Russian figure skaters?
	Oh, fantastic.
	Holy mackerel, are they good.
	I'm sorry, they are oars.
	Yes, right.
	They're not Russians, they're oars.
	Hey, what are those oars doing out there on the ice?
	You know, the Dutch skater.
	Does anybody think that that was done, that moniker was given on purpose to make it sound like whores?
	I'm sure the jokes are there.
	Someone cracked it when they were having the meeting.
	A couple of Russian whores.
	Whoops, sorry.
	We have our medalist, Dutch medalist, Blockhauser in skating, speed skating.
	And he got in big trouble with the International Olympic Committee and South Korea.
	As he said, hey, you know, I really don't feel like hanging around and partying because you people eat dogs!
	Did you get a clip of that?
	No, no, no, no.
	Sadly.
	Sadly.
	People eat dogs.
	You eat dogs, and then he has to go back and apologize.
	I'm sorry I misunderstood the culture.
	Yeah, because South Koreans do eat dogs.
	They do eat dogs, so what was the problem?
	Maybe he doesn't like eating dogs, so he left.
	He just doesn't have to apologize.
	What does he have to apologize for?
	He said all dogs' lives matter is what he was talking about.
	All dogs' lives matter.
	He did not want it.
	Then Disney hired him the next day.
	I think it's funny.
	Hey, you people eat dogs.
	Uh-oh.
	Can't be telling the truth.
	That's no good.
	I care about all animals, and I hope that we can make this world a better place for man and animal.
	I really enjoy the Olympic Games.
	I want to thank you for your hospitality.
	You eat dogs!
	I have an Ask Adam.
	Oh, do we need a jingle for it?
	No.
	Oh!
	Okay, play a jingle.
	Okay, just one.
	Let's see what this is.
	Ah, shoot.
	I don't know.
	I don't have any.
	Here it is.
	Jingle.
	There it is.
	This is the jingle.
	Just to waste more of your time.
	All right, Ask Adam.
	Here we go.
	What's the Ask Adam?
	This one here.
	This is a clip from the show Lucifer.
	And this is the show where the devil's on earth and he's taking a job as a bartender.
	And you watch this show?
	Here's the first question I'm going to answer.
	You shouldn't.
	I don't normally watch it, but I will say that it's a mystery.
	Police drama.
	And he helps the cops.
	And it's sometimes structured quite well.
	But there's some kinds, and sometimes the writers, like there's a millennial in there somewhere.
	And I want to ask you, if you can spot The phraseology used in this small clip, that just irks me.
	Computer whiz, that's for sure.
	C-minus student barely graduated high school.
	Voted most likely to sleep his way to the top.
	And guess what he was doing before top meet?
	Spin instructor.
	Okay, why would Kim hire him then?
	She's this genius computer engineer.
	What does he bring to the equation?
	Look at him and then look at her.
	If both came to you asking for funding for an elite dating app, whose project would you invest in?
	Well, yeah, if you're being all super fish and whatevs.
	Which many people are.
	Maybe Kim felt she wasn't fancy schmancy enough.
	That clip is adorbs.
	It's adorbs.
	It's adorbs, I tell ya.
	There's actually an earlier part in the clip I didn't like.
	The spin instructor part got me for a moment, just a minor trigger.
	That was good, but there's also graduated high school, not graduated from high school.
	So what do they think, they're Europeans?
	So I found that to be a pretentious dialogue.
	Tonight the keeps and I are having sushi.
	It's delish.
	Exactly.
	I can do it.
	I can do it.
	You can.
	Yeah.
	Whatevs.
	It's very, very, very, very troubling, this new language.
	And proof!
	Proof that television is corrupting our children.
	Or are the children corrupting television?
	That's the question.
	You never know.
	Superfish.
	Superfish.
	I like Adorbs the best.
	That's my favorite.
	Well, I think you nailed it, so you answered the Ask Adam question perfectly.
	I'm glad I was able to do that for you.
	I have an update from our producer, Dorian, who has been watching Big Brother for me to see what Robo-Trump Omarosa is saying.
	Oh, this is a good beat.
	Yes, the show is almost over.
	I will just read Dorian's note.
	What?
	Just started?
	No, there's not that many episodes left.
	Well, if she stays in...
	You know what?
	I don't know.
	I'm just saying crap.
	I really don't know.
	I don't pay attention to this show.
	But we have producers.
	We are the only show that has thousands of producers.
	Thousands of them.
	We do.
	Then it is thousands.
	On tonight's episode, Roborosa unloaded more talking points.
	That's her name, by the way.
	Roborosa.
	Hold on.
	I've got to change that to show notes.
	Roborosa.
	Nice.
	Good one, Dorian.
	Once again, completely independent of the story of the episode, with that real native ad field, the entire episode they're talking about how Omarosa has no friends.
	She's an outcast.
	Now suddenly they're all sitting together having a chat, even though she has no friends.
	Essentially, first someone asks if she thinks Oprah would have been a good president.
	Omarosa says yes.
	Then she reveals that the government lifestyle may not be that cushy.
	In fact, on Air Force One, you have to pay for your own meals.
	She even got charged 20 bucks for snacks on a flight.
	Pretty much pushing the idea that maybe it's not all that luxurious as it cracked up to be.
	Then she talked about how amazing it was to ride in the motorcade through the very project she grew up in.
	As if to make kind of the point that Trump sponsored the black success story.
	Then cuts back to the regular programming.
	Shots of Omarosa wandering around aimlessly.
	From what Dorian says, she believes that these conversations are cut in purposefully.
	And that Omarosa again is only saying things that benefit Trump.
	Nothing negative about him.
	Well, I think we've already identified that issue.
	Yeah.
	When you first began this beat.
	But this was educational.
	Yeah.
	I had no idea they sold snacks on the big 747.
	Yeah, I looked it up.
	The president actually has to pay the bill.
	You know they have to pay for their dinner and everything.
	They get a bill each month from the government for everything they've used.
	In fact, I'm pretty sure it was...
	So dinner's not tossed in?
	What about the Jets?
	He can't afford that on the president's salary.
	Well, there's always been the conversation whether Michelle and or President Obama had to pay for their vacation use of the aircraft, which is no, because I guess they have certain facilities.
	But for sure, the White House sends a bill.
	I think it was Nancy Reagan who flipped out the first month she got the bill.
	She didn't know about it.
	And there was a problem.
	You can rack it up.
	Huh.
	I didn't know that.
	I think that's good.
	Screw them.
	I guess it's okay.
	I mean, I'm trying to see.
	You can't have a snack on the 747 without having to pay for it.
	You can't get comped.
	What about when you get one of those little packs of matches that you can get?
	Is that because you get a bill for 10 cents, a dime a dollar?
	I'm sure it's not like that.
	But yeah, I'm sure the press has to pay for this stuff, too.
	Is there a vending machine?
	You've got to pull a thing?
	You're asking questions I really have no answer to.
	I really don't know.
	They're just rhetorical.
	Yes.
	Huh.
	Well, I'm glad that she's on the show now.
	Very glad.
	Maybe we should do a...
	How come the media doesn't do these stories?
	Because they don't put...
	You'd think they'd be complaining.
	I bet you they get fed for free as part of the system.
	Yeah, maybe there's some secret deal or something.
	No, the media always gets free meals if you're talking to them.
	And now it's time for your sexual harassment update.
	The hashtag MeToo movement powers through everything.
	Still happening, although completely dropped off the mainstream media radar.
	We do have some little blips from time to time.
	I'm going to tell you that Mark Cuban's going to be in big trouble.
	They are now looking at the Mavericks organization for a very hostile workplace towards women.
	And I think we've discussed on the show before that I think Cuban is a douchebag.
	He's a philandering douchebag because I know who he's philandered with.
	Yes, you do.
	You know someone.
	Actually, I know the same person.
	You do.
	But I didn't know this fact, but apparently he is...
	Philandered with her.
	Yes, he has philandered.
	And it is a her.
	And it's not the only one.
	For sure, it's not the only one.
	So now they're looking into alleged rampant sexual misconduct in the Dallas Mavericks workplace.
	And he's acting like, oh, you know, I fired the HR person.
	Okay.
	Not a good look.
	Yeah, he blames the HR person.
	Not a good look for Mr.
	Cuban.
	Well, this is one of the ways they get you kicked out of the league as an owner.
	He could actually lose the team.
	He already got a fine for saying that it would be best of the Mavericks through the game.
	This is a very bad thing to say, and he said it.
	Why would he use that?
	$600,000 fine.
	$600,000 fine.
	For saying something they do anyway, as we know.
	Yeah, of course they do this, but you don't go and bragging about it because it hurts the league's image.
	It's as though they're tanking on purpose, so you can't bet on them.
	So if you got a guy who's a loose cannon like that, nothing better than to get him with a hashtag MeToo moment.
	He's done his toast.
	He's always been meddlesome and troublesome in the league.
	He's always done stuff that the league doesn't like.
	And it's quite possible because he's a loud mouth and he said that thing.
	And I think this would be that.
	I think you're right.
	Put two and two together and then that $600,000 fine.
	I think they might run him out of the league.
	With a hashtag MeToo moment.
	He's toast.
	And then his shark tank will be over.
	I'm sure we'll get one or two of the shark tankies going, yeah, he did kind of touch my butt a little weird after the show.
	As opposed to not weird.
	Well, you know what I'm saying.
	Uninvited.
	So, possibly it could be the end of Mark Cuban as a public figure.
	That's very possible.
	Yeah, the league is really, they don't like people being...
	What was the guy who had to sell his team because he was a racist?
	The old coot?
	He wasn't really a racist.
	No, but they called him a racist.
	Yeah, he got accused of being a racist.
	The league forced him to sell.
	Who was that again?
	The guy at San Diego Clippers that ended up with Steve Ballmer paying $2 billion.
	Sterling.
	Donald Sterling, yeah.
	Good call.
	Thanks, Troll Room.
	Troll Room.
	Yeah, like, duh, you know I wouldn't know.
	Hello.
	Exactly.
	I know you wouldn't.
	Yeah, Sterling got his team taken from him, and he had this...
	Taken from him doesn't mean you lose your ass.
	Didn't he have a black girlfriend?
	Yeah, he had a black girlfriend, and she recorded a bunch of his calls because he's just a...
	He was like, hey, Blackie, come over here!
	He wasn't as much of a racist as an old coot.
	An old coot.
	Exactly.
	And most old coots in their 80s, or however old this guy was, Sound like racists when they just talk normal.
	Just talk normal.
	Exactly.
	Then we have the California lawmaker Christina Garcia, who is under fire.
	She is one of the women who appeared in the hashtag MeToo campaign kickoff in Time magazine, and she's been accused of sexual harassment.
	We now have some details.
	Huh?
	This woman should be removed from office, not for what she did, but just how moronic she is.
	Here we go.
	This evening, State Assemblywoman Christina Garcia, a vocal leader of the MeToo movement, faces new allegations of misconduct.
	A former employee now says that he was fired after refusing to play spin the bottle with her.
	Yeah, he's on the floor.
	She's sitting next to him with a bottle in her hand and she makes a comment they should be playing spin the bottle.
	Attorney Dan Gillian says his client refused to play spin the bottle with his then boss, Assemblywoman Christina Garcia, but claims he paid a price.
	That's when he felt as though his days were numbered and that he was being targeted.
	Was he being targeted?
	How long after that was he fired?
	Well, it was a few months.
	It was a few months later.
	The reasons why employers oftentimes wait a little bit is because if they fire them right away, it's just all the more obvious.
	In a complaint filed with the state, his client accuses the MeToo advocate of using vulgar language, discussing topics inappropriate for the workplace and showing herself to be vindictive in nature.
	It exists.
	That's very common.
	It's not uncommon for women to be just as bad as guys.
	Yeah.
	Well, you don't usually hear about it.
	And I just love the whole spin the bottle part.
	I thought that was cute.
	Are you an insane woman?
	You play that with more than two people.
	It doesn't work.
	It's not two people playing spin the bottle.
	It doesn't work that way, idiot.
	And I just got this off of the news this morning.
	That, uh, after Oxfam, now we also hear that the International Red Cross has had all kinds of orgies, etc., when going on mission.
	Woohoo!
	And that should come out pretty soon.
	Good.
	Yeah, Oxfam.
	Yeah.
	Well, Oxfam has suffered severely.
	People just withdrawing donations and...
	Oh yeah, they're dead.
	Yeah, and the Red Cross has got to go through the same, because they're just shit.
	Yeah.
	Someone did send me some information for you.
	You had a clip on the last show about someone annoying a child.
	Yeah.
	What was that again?
	It was like the guy was arrested for child annoyance or something.
	It just slipped in.
	Penal code.
	California Penal Code 647.6A1. Every person who annoys or molests any child under 18 years of age shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or both by the fine and the imprisonment.
	Holy crap.
	Yeah, it's in your law.
	In California, you can't annoy.
	You cannot annoy a child.
	That's great.
	Don't let anyone know about this, because I think kids are getting annoyed all the time.
	They're annoyed.
	They're kids.
	You could send your parents to jail if they annoy you.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Sounds like it.
	And it's California to the max.
	Let me see what the definition is of annoyance.
	To cause irritation and to harass or disturb by repeated attacks.
	I would say it's the, and that's the archaic definition.
	But it is the definition.
	So yeah, you're not allowed to annoy anyone.
	No children under 18.
	$5,000 probably get on the sex list too.
	Oh, well why not?
	Sure.
	And this concludes your sexual harassment update.
	Remember, if you're in California, don't annoy the children.
	So I have a little report here on...
	Since we're going through bits, I think you might as well open the ClimateGate.
	Oh.
	Hold on a second.
	We haven't used it in so long.
	There we go.
	Climate...
	The ClimateGate is open.
	So there's a bunch of...
	Global warming stuff going through various states.
	It's going through everything except through the country.
	Holy crap, it's cold.
	In Holland, they're actually talking about the 11-city tour again.
	The skating, natural ice skating canal.
	It's going to be zero degrees centigrade.
	It's the way they commute.
	Yeah.
	Let's listen.
	So in Idaho, they made a whole special piece on the PBS NewsHour about this.
	And Science, Not Another Side.
	Let's play.
	I got a bunch of different clips.
	I didn't put the order down properly, but let's start with Science, Not Another Side.
	What's clay?
	The earth!
	These Boise second graders are playing an unusual game of tag.
	On your marks, get set, go!
	They're pretending to be sunlight.
	Once they reach earth, they turn into heat.
	Some bounce back.
	Others are tagged and trapped by students masquerading as greenhouse gases.
	The idea is to help students understand global warming.
	So the more greenhouse gases we add to the atmosphere, what happens to the temperature of the earth?
	It gets hotter.
	It gets hotter.
	What is climate change?
	What did you learn about that when you were outside playing tag?
	It's when people put more carbon dioxide in the air and it makes it warmer.
	Boise State University professor Jennifer Pierce offers this lesson on climate change to elementary school classes.
	I think it's my obligation as a scientist and as an educator and as a parent to teach our kids about how the greenhouse effect works, how humans and fossil fuels have contributed to the warming of our planet, and what we can do about it.
	Pierce crafted these lessons after becoming alarmed when Idaho's Republican-dominated legislature needed to soften proposed state science standards to play down the role of humans in climate change.
	Well, the legislators seem to think that, you know, you need to present both sides of the issue, that you need to be even-handed.
	There aren't two sides of the issue.
	The global warming is happening, and humans are the cause.
	There's not another side of the issue.
	Okey-dokey, then.
	This is Idaho.
	Yeah, Idaho.
	I made a little ISO of that because I think it's important.
	This is the Idaho global warming ISO. There aren't two sides of the issue.
	The global warming is happening and humans are the cause.
	There's not another side of the issue.
	Shut up, slave.
	Science.
	So that's the way it is.
	And they're all upset about the fact that the legislators want to kind of like soften this a little bit and make the kids learn how to think rather than just brainwash second graders, which is what this is about, second graders into believing every little...
	Everything about global warming that this woman believes is settled.
	There's no question.
	It's a done deal.
	But let's play a couple more clips.
	This is more slant.
	This is an interesting little slant in here that I thought was worth listening to.
	Representative Ryan Kirby supported that, saying students were being force-fed one-sided arguments.
	They just said, man has XYZ impact on the environment, or these things are bad, versus saying, hey, students, look at the data, do some research, and let's talk about the good things and the bad things that manage the environment.
	The public has overwhelmingly disagreed.
	Science education shouldn't be a political issue.
	Not some watered-down, censored version.
	I ask that we not only keep the standards, but that we accept and appreciate all that they have to offer.
	That did not sway the Idaho House Education Committee, which this month voted again, this time deleting one science standard that linked air pollution with fossil fuels and scrapping pages and pages of content that backed up every area of science instruction, including global warming.
	The motion passes.
	Thank you.
	Representative Scott Seim led the charge, saying he was deleting sections that didn't allow students to do their own scientific discovery.
	When you have conclusions and standards, it stifles you.
	Kids that can think on their own, that come to their own conclusions.
	Syme refused repeated requests for an interview, but told a newspaper, quote, I don't care if students come up with a conclusion that the Earth is flat, as long as it's their conclusion, not something that's told to them.
	Well, that's working.
	It's not working, but I thought it was interesting the way this was slanted.
	For one thing, she puts that little ditty in at the end, which is to humiliate the guy.
	But she makes this comment.
	It's right in the middle of the clip.
	The public overwhelmingly disagrees, and they had one person after another very short clips of people testifying in front of the legislature.
	Yeah.
	I would bet that if you took the Idaho public at large and put this to a vote, they wouldn't overwhelmingly disagree.
	No.
	And this actually will cause a real problem in the next 10 years with Idaho's population.
	Because it's very divided there, is my experience.
	On one hand, everyone's got their guns, they love their guns, or a portion.
	On the other hand, you can't even smoke a cigarette on the sidewalk.
	You get arrested.
	Well, they probably moved there from Austin.
	So let's just play the end and end clip.
	The debate over teaching climate change is hardly limited to Idaho.
	There have been a number of states as they have been revising their science standards where this has become a hot-button issue.
	New Mexico's attempt last fall to weaken climate change instruction generated protests and fierce backlash.
	The children, the future of New Mexico, deserve better.
	Ultimately, the State Department of Education backed down.
	Recent attempts in at least nine states to block, repeal, or modify state science standards, partly because of the treatment of climate change, have largely failed.
	All this comes during a government administration skeptical about global warming.
	The United States will withdraw from the Paris...
	Climate Accord.
	In the case of climate change, of course, there have been many really concerted efforts to kind of deny the science.
	David Evans is the executive director of the National Science Teachers Association.
	When a legislative body decides to recommend against science content that's been well vetted by the science community and the education community, we undergo a great risk at denying our children really important information that they're going to need.
	Yeah, we're giving them all they need to become good little globalists.
	Important information they're going to need.
	They're not going to need it.
	They're second graders.
	But...
	I was thinking about this, and it does have a little anti-Trump slant, and that provides some benefit.
	Yes, it was a valid report.
	He did his job.
	But this is going on to such an experience, especially with this woman and her ISO. I want to play that ISO one more time before I play one more clip.
	Yeah, it's going to be a fan favorite.
	There aren't two sides of the issue.
	The global warming is happening and humans are the cause.
	There's not another side of the issue.
	Now, I want to play something about HPV. And this is the HPV reestablishing...
	And it's about promoting HPV and then I have my point to make.
	Health experts would like to vaccinate more young people against the virus called HPV. We are from the government.
	We're here to vaccinate you.
	Do not be alarmed.
	...which can cause certain cancers.
	The vaccine was first introduced many years ago, but a new analysis from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association finds only about one-third...
	Of adolescents get vaccinated by their teen years.
	NPR's Alison Aubrey reports.
	In the U.S., about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and about 4,000 women die from it.
	An HPV vaccine can prevent most of these cervical cancers.
	It can also prevent cancer of the penis in men.
	Pediatricians recommend getting it early in adolescence.
	But only in men.
	Women with a penis, no problem.
	You don't get cancer.
	...and women die from it.
	An HPV vaccine can prevent most of these cervical cancers.
	It can also prevent cancer of the penis in men.
	Pediatricians recommend getting it early in adolescence, says Margaret Steger of MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.
	She's a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.
	It's important for 12- and 13-year-olds to get the HPV vaccine.
	To provide immunity so that when they may be exposed to HPV later in life, typically through sexual activity, they have protection.
	Steger says vaccination rates are rising, but she still hears pushback from parents.
	Comments like this.
	Why are we giving a vaccine to my little girl?
	She's only 11 and she's not going to be having sex.
	So why are we doing this now?
	Steger says there are two reasons.
	There's a more effective immune response when the vaccine is given earlier in adolescence.
	Also, it works best if given before any sexual exposure.
	And that includes oral sex as well and touching.
	I got to tell you, I think there's a factual mistake in this report.
	Besides the nonsense that it works best if...
	Yeah, well also, cancer of the penis.
	What has been sold to us, and man, have they been selling it.
	Remember they were putting little bags with little things on dorm room handles.
	They have all kinds of street teams trying to get this done.
	The doctors are completely complicit.
	The story is that you can get cancer of the throat...
	Right.
	Through oral sex, but not cancer of the penis.
	Like, oh, my dick just fell off.
	Oh, my God.
	Well, they had a...
	Please.
	It reminds me of a Chinese joke.
	I won't tell.
	It doesn't involve the word Wong at any point.
	Anyway, some of these assertions works best if you do this.
	I believe if you start looking at the global warming thing closely...
	And you start looking at some of these other stories.
	I think it's a point I tried to make.
	I said I'd make now, but I made earlier.
	I think that the system is trying to reestablish authority.
	And it's trying to do it with this nonsense.
	And the global warming woman is the perfect example.
	It's been established...
	Authority has made the determination that global warming is what it is.
	It's a real fact that's caused by humans.
	That's it.
	No more debate.
	We're done.
	Can I just play that ISO one more time?
	There's something I think is important here.
	There aren't two sides of the issue.
	The global warming is happening and humans are the cause.
	There's not another side of the issue.
	Yeah, what she's done here, and I think this is the change, the assertion as an authoritative figure is the fact no longer is science brought into it.
	It's no longer a question of whether the science is in or all scientists agree or 97% or any of that.
	Now it's just fact.
	Shut up.
	Yeah.
	And I think you're right.
	And I believe that the authority – that's why this story about HPV is interesting because she's – this woman, by the way, who is the spokesperson, she is everywhere if you look her up.
	There's no – I can't get a connection to her and one of the drug companies, but she is like the person who keeps talking about this.
	And she's got all the little excuses.
	Oh, no, you can have it on 11.
	The sooner you get it, the more effective it is, which is not the way necessarily that vaccines work.
	Yeah, the sooner you get it over a one-month period, the more effective it is as if you got it at the last minute.
	But the sooner you get it where you've been submitting your system for years and years and years, what's the point of ever having to get a booster shot if that's true?
	Yeah.
	It makes zero logical sense.
	But the logic is out, authority is in, and we're trying to get our kids...
	To get off this question authority idea, which we have, we've dropped that and we've pushed that down to the shut up point of things.
	Let's shut up about this question authority.
	We don't want to question authority anymore.
	It caused too many problems.
	We've got to get authority back into the driver's seat and authority can take us into where we want to go, which is global governance.
	Well, the kids are primed and ready.
	Yeah, they're all in on authority.
	Lockstep, salute, you know, whatever you salute.
	But this, I think, is what these two things put together is what gave me the idea that, yeah, this is all about authority.
	It's not about facts.
	The reporters aren't doing any questioning of anything.
	They're not looking at anything logically and saying, well, that doesn't make any sense logically.
	And asking a question to get it explained?
	No.
	No.
	It's all authority.
	No, the authority figure said this, so that's what I'm going to do.
	I'm a rule follower.
	Yes.
	Well, what will be next?
	What will the next authoritative statement be?
	I think they should realize that they've got it.
	They've already, whoever they are, the system...
	The global governance system, pro-global governance, they've got most of the people in the United States locked down, especially in California, where you get 86% of the people vote for Hillary, seriously.
	They've got them locked down, and I think that they're already – they've just got to get the rest of the country locked down, and then they can go start pushing whatever the hell they want to push, which I think will be along the lines of global governance, one-world governance.
	Of course, we'd be the guys running it supposedly.
	Of course, how that worked with ICANN and anything else that we try to run for too long, we get a bunch of people bitching and moaning about us.
	But I just find this to be deplorable.
	And this is the way it's going.
	There's nothing you and I can do to stop it.
	We've got a good bunch of smarties that listen to the show.
	It's impossible to stop what they're trying to do.
	No, I'm not.
	Wow, I'm usually the fatalistic one.
	I don't think it's impossible to stop.
	You're taking my side of these arguments.
	We're helping hundreds of people on this show.
	Yeah, we'll help.
	We're helping their mental health.
	Tens of people.
	Tens of people.
	We got tens of people.
	Their mental health is a lot better, but...
	At least let's look at it from what I just said and think, okay, this is what we're up against.
	I've always thought that the climate change thing is something of an IQ test for people.
	You buy into it, lock, stock, and barrel, buy into it a little bit.
	If you're like this woman, this science expert, a state scientist, science teacher, she is, as far as I'm concerned, is low IQ. She hasn't done any work, any research on any of the counter-arguments, any research on the bogus thing about the 97%, which you blew out years ago, and everybody else keeps blowing it up.
	It still goes back, right back into the scheme.
	The scheme is the scheme.
	No, no, no, whatever.
	Yeah, okay, yeah, whatever.
	It's 97% of all scientists.
	The guy's a mineralogist.
	He's just chipping away at some granite.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'm all in 100%.
	Well, there's a lot of mind control going on.
	I've seen things from a distance that show me how gullible the public has become.
	And in particular, the Netherlands.
	And a story came through this morning, the daily business newspaper that I read online.
	And, yeah, just to give you some context, when I was growing up in the Netherlands, now when I was probably around 10, they still only had two channels, Holland 1, Holland 2, that started at 7 p.m.
	and ended around 11.30 when people were supposed to, you know, have quick sex and go to sleep.
	That was pretty much how the country was run.
	And people were always saying, oh, American TV, we don't want that shit, you get commercials.
	And they even did a whole weekend, the VPRO, broadcast organization, did a whole weekend of American TV with commercials.
	And it was the discussion of the month.
	Wow, that was a great movie, but oh man, we had to keep watching commercials.
	Now, of course, they have 15 commercial broadcasters, commercials up the wazoo.
	They got exactly what they wanted.
	But I've seen some other cultural things that are really baffling, but it may even be orchestrated.
	It started with the realization that the Dutch were celebrating Halloween with Halloween parties.
	Now, this is an American holiday, mainly.
	I think it's All Hallows' Eve.
	The UK, do they have Halloween?
	I don't think they do.
	I don't know that they do.
	I know that they now have...
	Black Friday, which is bogus.
	Well, this is what I'm going to talk about.
	So, they started talking about Thanksgiving.
	And people, I think we've talked about this on the show, there were actually people cooking turkeys on Thanksgiving in Holland.
	Now, I don't know.
	Yes, the Dutch certainly were the ones who operated the ships that brought slaves over to the new country.
	But I don't think they get to participate in Thanksgiving.
	But as it turns out, They were all primed for Black Friday.
	And it's called Black Friday in English, not in Dutch.
	It's called Black Friday.
	And they have super sales.
	They've introduced Cyber Monday.
	And the numbers are in.
	Unbelievable success for retail.
	This is complete mind control.
	They create this need like, well, the whole world is getting deals today.
	Everybody's shopping.
	We gotta shop!
	It's mind control.
	Yeah.
	And it's working.
	And it's working.
	Yes.
	I'm going to show myself the world by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	And we do have some people to thank.
	And they're not mind controlled.
	No.
	Thank goodness.
	But they do like to donate.
	Some of them.
	Not all of them.
	What do we got here?
	Sir Cal of the Lavender Blossoms.
	Oh, this is our lavender guy.
	Oh, yes.
	I just ran out of lip balm this morning.
	I wanted to talk about him because he passed along the lip balm and some other stuff to JC and Jesse at the big giant Michigan meetup.
	And he came up with a story.
	By the way, anyone interested, it's lavenderblossoms.org.
	It's a fantastic product.
	And he makes a CBD hand cream, which is legal in Michigan because it is one of the states that has medical marijuana laws.
	And it has helped producers, parents that we know of.
	Yes.
	And it's also, the thing about it is that of all these rubs, these CBD rubs, it doesn't stink.
	It actually smells kind of pleasant.
	Yeah, he's got the lavender thing going on.
	That's what he knows what he's doing.
	So anyway, there's a story.
	And we came up with 161.80.
	I just want to mention that.
	He, according to JC and Jesse, when they came back, he says, this guy was at the meetup and gave us some more stuff.
	And he says he wanted to thank you and I profusely.
	Why?
	Because before we mentioned his company on the show, He was doing something like three things a month, you know, a tube of this and nothing.
	A solve here and there.
	And then he apparently took off and now he's making good money.
	He's in a bunch of stores locally or, you know, these just whatever they call dispensaries.
	And he's on his way, thanks to the No Agenda Show.
	Well, more thanks to the No Agenda Show producers who are buying this.
	That's what's going on.
	Who are woke.
	They're woke, people.
	Woke.
	They're woke.
	So he makes a good product.
	Alright, onward.
	Excellent.
	Another business.
	Actually, the first business successfully launched from the show.
	We've only come up with a thousand of them.
	A thousand ideas.
	Keep us uninvolved.
	Success guaranteed.
	Rob Van Dyke in Burgum, Netherlands.

	Bertham.
	Very good.

	That's right.
	Thank you very much.
	Jeremy Cook in Louisville, Tennessee.
	10101 for the palindrome.
	He needs a dedouching, so I've got to hand him a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	No, there was a Louisville, Tennessee.
	I'd have to...
	I'd like to know where that is.

	Yeah, Tina has a guy who came in to do a, like an Excel dashboard.
	Dashboard.
	For the Ronald McDonald House.
	It's a very cool project.
	I've always wanted to hang out with a real Excel expert who knows how to really put it together.
	Because you can do crazy stuff in Excel.
	Oh, Excel is very powerful.
	We knew a guy, Adam and I both knew a guy, who could design complete crazy websites with Excel.
	The best thing is, the guy's name is Ben.
	It's Ben.
	It's PowerPoint, actually.
	PowerPoint, yeah.
	Those were great, yeah.
	Anyway, dude named Ben.
	Sir Teralta, Baronet of Glen Ellen and someplace.
	Well, you missed Brian Longenecker.

	And he says he's responding to the February doldrums, throwing a few shekels to keep the train going and support the great work.
	Karma for the economy and the market says we'll do that.
	Yeah, February's terrible.
	It's always bad for this show.
	Yes.
	It is a rough month.
	Anthony Fields...
	As is July.
	July also sucks.
	The holidays.
	Yeah.
	The networks know this.
	In fact, the networks know not to do anything in February.
	Almost everything's been reruns during the Olympics.
	Anthony Fields, West Rock, Roxbury, Massachusetts, $100.
	Tyler Brown in Garden City, South Carolina, $100.
	Larry Hay in Mooresville, North Carolina, $100.

	Hold on one second.
	Just for Tyler Brown, because it's dedouching.
	Thanks for all you guys do.
	I'd love to give a lot more, but I'm a bartender who was raising a four-year-old and putting my wife Alicia through college.
	She goes to Clemson University, which is six hours away.
	We never see her, and it's been really hard on her family.
	Your show helps me get through these hard times.
	I've been a douchebag and need a good de-douching.
	Love you guys.
	Keep up the great work.
	Thank you for doing that.
	You've been de-douched.
	Now that's how you do it.
	Sacrifice for the American dream.
	Well, Christopher Denon in Brooklyn says, I was going to spend $100 on an online course and realized I learned so much more from John and Adam.
	I'll take some job karma for my daughter if I donate it enough.
	Yeah, we'll do some job karma for her.
	Sir Daniel Warren in Boise, Idaho.

	Dwight Chick, parts unknown, 6789.
	Hey, just as an aside, I can't find Daniel Warren's email.

	I'm saying it again, man.
	Yeah, say whatever it was.
	Ron Jordan in West Dundee, Illinois, 5633.

	That's a nice area.
	Richard Futter in London, UK. It was Connor Williams, not Corrine.
	Oh, Connor Williams.
	Sorry, Connor.
	Sorry, Connor in Durham.
	Connor, Connor, Connor.
	All the following are $50 donations.
	Name and location.
	Richard Futter, London.
	Daniel Laboy in Bath, Michigan.
	Brandon Menk.
	You know, the people in Michigan also sent me a hand glove.
	Oh, you got the same thing.
	The oven mitt.
	The oven mitt.
	Saying, hey, you guys don't know where the hell anything is in Michigan.
	Look at your mitt.
	And so you look at the mitt.
	I tried using the mitt on something hot.
	Yeah.
	Don't do it.
	Oh, really?
	It's a defective mitt?
	Believe me.
	Oh, shit.
	Yeah, you can burn yourself.
	It's decorative.
	I hear a lawsuit against Michigan 1.
	Well, Michigan, yeah.
	I'm sure that's the least of their problems.
	I just like the fact that you took that beautiful oven mitt they gave you with the whole state on it, and you actually used it for the oven.
	I tried using it.
	Yeah, because I had something hot that had to come out of the oven.
	I'm looking, looking left, looking right, looking left, looking right.
	There's a towel.
	There's the oven mitt.
	I said, well, let me use the oven mitt.
	And I did.
	Brandon Mank in Tempe, Arizona.
	Sir Patrick Macomb in New York, New York, New York.
	Jason Clegg in San Diego, California.

	John Fitzpatrick in Hilbert Springs, Arkansas.
	Sean Fagan, parts unknown.
	And last, or next to last, Eric Elaine in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where everybody seems to be.
	And Adam, we've got to go there.
	And Adam Colby, last but not least, Parts Unknown.
	I want to thank all these folks who are contributing to show 1010 and also for producing it, along with all the others who came in with lesser amounts, including the easy-to-meet 1010.
	Let's see if there's a lot of those.
	1010.
	Yeah, it got more than I expected.
	Yeah, a lot of 1010s.
	Thank you for the 1010s, everyone.
	Now, I've changed something.
	And let me see.
	When I set up the Windows rig...
	And I imported all of the jingles and sound effects and everything.
	And although I noticed it, I hadn't really done anything about it, but I got too many emails about it.
	The Karma jingle changed slightly to this.
	I think this is the one.
	You've got Karma.
	There's a little yay slap at the end.
	Oh, that's yours.
	That's your saying yay.
	No, it's in the jingle.
	I don't know if that's me, but it's in the jingle.
	And I got a couple notes from people saying, you know, that's not really the original.
	And it gave me some cause for concern.
	Well, I agree with that.
	You know, the funny thing is I noticed that too, but I thought that was you just ad-libbing.
	No, no.
	Because it sounds so much like you going, yay!
	Yeah.
	So I dug around and I picked up the original again.
	So I just want everyone to know that the original karma is back.
	I don't know if anyone has not had the power they expected to receive, but here it is then.
	We have the original is back.
	I just want to make note of it because, you know, people may be wondering.
	Well, it's important to some people.
	It's important to me.
	I want to make sure we do the best we can.
	And I want to thank everybody who supported today's program.
	Where did the other one come from?
	Sorry.
	I have no idea.
	There's all kinds of stuff in the database.
	All kinds of groovy stuff.
	So thank you again for everyone who supported the show, our 1010s.
	Very nice.
	This is episode 1010.
	Thank you to everyone who came in under 50 for anonymity or for one of our many programs, which you can find at dvorak.org.
	I really appreciate it.
	The show only exists, and we can only talk about topics the way we do because of this model.
	And I see more and more people getting closer to the idea, but they still don't.
	Are hung up on chip in.
	Give me five bucks.
	Support my Patreon.
	This is not the way to do it.
	What's the way to do it, John?
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Yeah, it explains everything there.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Well, this is going to be a really long list, because if you thought donations were short, how about happy birthday to Sir Hank Scorpio?
	That's it!
	Happy birthday, yeah!
	No titles, no knights, no nothing.
	No nothing.
	Nothing at all, honey.
	Let me see, what do we have here?
	Maybe talk a little bit about Russian collusion.
	You know, one thing we should talk about, I think, before that is, we realized this was the President's Day week.
	Yeah.
	It was also truck month.
	Funny how that always coincides.
	So the President thing was like, I thought that everything, I think we're trying to even get away from that.
	We're trying to take, which is the reason I think we're trying to remove the national anthem.
	You know, you look for reasons and then you push the reasons.
	There's all kinds of reasons.
	It's racist somehow.
	If I just interrupt you, I very much have been enjoying your Twitter quest for replacement of the national anthem with Queens We Will Rock You and Living in America, James Brown.
	I mean, I like it.
	I think we should think of modernizing it.
	Why does it always have to be a stuffy old piece of...
	I think living in America is the one that would rock.
	And the reason I argue that if you're going to change it, which it seems is inevitable, change it to something that really livens up sporting events because it doesn't look like we're going to start pulling the national anthem from sporting events.
	So...
	That's why I first thought of We Will Rock You, because it's an anthem of sorts, but then somebody says it's British.
	So I said, okay, okay.
	So then one of the Twitter people out there, probably one of our producers, suggested the James Brown song, which is fabulous, because it really would liven up a sporting event, because you'd feel like, wow, let's get going here, because it's an up-tempo...
	Well, not only that, but through...
	Through the power of suggestion, he would also promote the No Agenda show.
	Ow!
	ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS. I feel good!
	See?
	Be perfect for us.
	Yes, it would work well for the show.
	So I ran into a...
	I think part of this has to do with, besides the reestablishing authority, is also getting us off the track of any positive thoughts about our founding, the United States American founding and all the rest.
	And so you end up with a lot of negative kind of, during President's Day on PBS, you'd hear this, there's this anti-President's Day rant on PBS that You don't have to play the whole thing, but this guy just goes off the deep end condemning the presidents because of the situational ethics of the era.
	Letter to five to own slaves while they were in office.
	George Washington.
	When you won the revolution, how many of your soldiers did you send from the battlefield to the cotton field?
	How many had to trade in their rifles for plows?
	Can you blame the slaves who ran away to fight for the British because at least the Redcoats were honest about their oppression, Thomas Jefferson?
	When you told Sally Hemings that you would free her children if you remained your mistress, did you think there was honor in your ultimatum?
	Did you think we wouldn't be able to recognize the assault in your signature just raping your slave when you disguise it as bribery and make it less of a crime?
	When you wrote the Declaration of Independence, did you ever intend for black people to have freedom over their bodies?
	James Madison.
	Let me tell you, this is how they'll get rid of cash.
	This is how they're going to do it.
	These racist pricks on our money.
	Get them off.
	You know what?
	Just do away with money.
	We can use our credit card and PayPal.
	It's a funny idea.
	You might be onto something.
	It's funny, but really, this could happen.
	When you wrote to Congress that black people should count as three-fifths of a person, how long did you have to look at your slaves to figure out the math?
	Was it easy to chop them up?
	Did you think they'd be happy being more than just half-human James Monroe?
	When you proposed sending slaves back to Africa, did black bodies feel like rented tools?
	When you branded them, did the scar on their chest include an expiration date?
	When you named the country Liberia, were you trying to be ironic?
	Does this really count as liberation Andrew Jackson?
	Cash is racist.
	That's it.
	That's the ticket.
	Well, as soon as it shows up, I'm sure one of our producers will send us a clip.
	But you're probably right.
	Cash is racist.
	Well, this is really nice.
	You know, these guys only, all they did apparently was just screw, kill, and eat slaves.
	Jeez.
	From the battlefield to the cotton fields.
	Although there were no cotton fields in the area where the revolution took place.
	But anyway, it goes on and on.
	The guy just condemns everything.
	Condemns everything.
	And then the other one that came up was the anti-Star Spangled Banner movement, which is started by Kaepernick as far as I'm concerned.
	And we have this opera singer.
	And this is a black woman.
	Who has that, there's a black woman elitist accent.
	It's hard to describe.
	It's a little bit of British in there, like Tina Turner used to do.
	My name is Annie Mae Bullock.
	Annie Mae Bullock, I'm from Mississippi.
	It's a very distinctive accent.
	You run into it with a lot of black female writers.
	And she has it.
	This is a singer.
	And this is Yasha Ali bitching about the Star Spangled Banner being unsingable.
	The Star Spangled Banner.
	It is unsingable.
	Oh, she's like Oprah.
	It is unsingable.
	No, truly.
	And I know that there are people who say, you know, she must be absolutely crazy.
	But I really do feel...
	Yeah, it's like a little island thing.
	Oprah does have that accent.
	It covers too much territory.
	That is an octave and a fifth.
	That means you've got 13 notes that are incorporated into our national anthem.
	For a song that is to be sung by a general public, one octave is enough.
	And the song that I wish...
	We had as a national anthem is America the Beautiful.
	It doesn't talk about war.
	It doesn't talk about anything except the beauty of this land and the joy that we should have in being in this land.
	It's a much more, for me, much more beautiful song, even though I understand completely the rousing that happens in the heart from listening just to the opening bars of the Star-Spangled Banner.
	Hmm.
	Well, she has a real point about a difficult song to sing, for sure.
	But still, why don't we choose something modern?
	That would be cool.
	I think that James Brown's the way to go if we're going to do this at all.
	And you can't accuse of being racist.
	It's James Brown.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think we should look at some more submissions.
	I think this is a very doable one.
	Well, someone's going to do it.
	It's going to be interesting.
	I guarantee it'll be a Democrat president.
	Yeah.
	And they'll have enough that they'll be able to push this through.
	We need a little more propaganda against the old song.
	Yeah.
	Which is hard to sing.
	It's a British drinking song.
	How hard can it be to sing?
	The song is racist, if you know the fourth verse.
	Yeah, well.
	It's racist.
	It's still a British drinking song that is not that hard.
	Yeah, it's hard to sing unless you're a drunken Brit.
	Yeah.
	I'm not buying any of it.
	I hear you.
	It's just trying to separate us from our origins.
	The idea is to get us so we're not so hung up on all this constitution, all this other stuff, so we can be global governed, one world government, blue hats.
	You'll be happy.
	You'll be happy.
	Laws that make sense.
	You know, Jennifer Lawrence, like, oh, I'm stopping work.
	I'm going to stop because I'm going to go fix democracy.
	She's the worst.
	Well, she's also completely insincere.
	By the way, she also looks like that.
	Tell me this isn't true.
	She looks like that Japanese robot woman.
	She does a little bit.
	That is her new look for the movie Red Sparrow, which will be coming out any day now.
	It has already been premiered.
	In D.C. at the museum.
	And it's her and Jeremy Irons.
	The story of a Russian intelligence officer who was sent to make contact with a CIA agent and a possible mole.
	Come on.
	Gee, that's an original idea.
	But she's pre-promoting her movie.
	Yeah, duh.
	But getting into the press.
	Ah, it stinks.
	It stinks.
	It stinks that the press picks up on it.
	Yeah.
	And I think the Washington...
	Was it the Washington Times?
	Who everyone's been reviewing.
	Did you see that funny review I sent you of Black Panther?
	No, I didn't.
	No, I probably didn't read it.
	No, there was an online movie reviewer who was giving all the reasons.
	It was a joke, but in its truth, very funny.
	Even crazier funny.
	But all the reasons he couldn't go to see the movie.
	Because he's white, obviously.
	But now comes an actual complaint.
	Actual complaint.
	That there's no gays in the movie.
	Yep.
	Black Panther is being hailed as the most diverse superhero movie in Hollywood, but it's not diverse enough.
	Where are the gay characters?
	Mostly black.
	Yeah, there's zero diversity in there.
	It wasn't designed to be diverse.
	No.
	It's a big hit, though.
	It was designed to, like the old black exploitation movies that have a cycle, by the way.
	There was a bunch of them in the 70s.
	There was a bunch of them in the 1920s.
	There was a whole thing on the Antiques Roadshow about some of these old movies.
	And now we're going to see a bunch of Black Panther films, which are designed to just bring in every black person in the world to watch these movies.
	And then Curious Whites.
	This is black exploitation.
	No different than some of the crummy movies that were done.
	Exactly right.
	That were done in the 70s.
	There was a slew of them.
	I have never watched a superhero movie in my life, and I'm not going to watch this one either.
	You've never watched any of the movies?
	The Avengers?
	No.
	I congratulate you.
	I saw Iron Man.
	I liked Iron Man.
	Oh, that's a superhero.
	Well, the first one...
	That's it.
	Okay, I'll let you slide.
	You know, I've been continuing to do research into what foundations are funding our schools with curriculum stipulations attached to it.
	This was a big part of the Dodd Report.
	We've discussed this for many episodes.
	Yep.
	And came across a great article, which is in the show notes.
	You can find it at nashownotes.com.
	And the title is, Who are the rich white men institutionalizing transgender ideology?
	I hadn't really thought about this.
	But, and the main organization that's doing this is the Ruderman Foundation, but I want to give you a list of names, and it's interestingly enough, it is very, very rich transgendered men who are doing this.
	And number one is Jennifer Pritzker.
	Of the famous Pritzker family, billionaires.
	Yep.
	And have you ever seen Jennifer Pritzker?
	Nope.
	You need to do a quick Google search.
	I'm going to do that right now, but I'm going to bing it.
	Yeah, please bing it.
	Oh, what am I saying?
	I'm so sorry.
	It's like sacrilegious what I'm doing.
	Bing it, baby!
	Jennifer Pritzker is the world's only known transgender billionaire and announced in 2013 she would live her life as a woman, formerly known as James, retired Army Lieutenant Colonel.
	By the way, I have no problem...
	Let's see, who is it here?
	Martine Rothblatt, a male who identifies as transgender and transhumanist.
	That's a great one.
	Great combo.
	Oh, transhumanist.
	Tim Hill, Rick Weiland.
	So it's obviously...
	It's a lot of gay men and transgendered men, or women.
	And they are attaching...
	Curriculum stipulations with their donations to academia.
	Huh.
	Well...
	Not saying good or bad one way.
	I think all influence in academia is bad.
	All of it.
	No matter what you're going for.
	But it was really an eye-opener.
	It does explain a few things.
	Yes.
	And this Ruderman Family Foundation, this is a big one.
	They do a lot of stuff.
	Huh.
	They do a lot of stuff for people with disabilities.
	Which they call diversity, by the way.
	Disabled people are the definition of diversity.
	It's something like that.
	It's their slogan.
	Anyway, so that's where this particular knowledge is coming from to our schools.
	I think in general we should...
	I guess we can't make a law against it, but I don't think it's a very good idea that we have all of these foundations who make stipulations for their money.
	Well, if you're going to give somebody a bunch of money, more than they normally get, you're going to probably...
	Probably do that.
	You're probably going to say, you know, you want to get more of this money, and you seem to like the money, and you can shake it in front of their faces and say, hey, look.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You want more of this money, you're going to have to do me a favor.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Oh, you know, I wasn't that crazy the other day when, of course, I kind of turned it into a joke because I was dumb about the word chaos being used.
	Yeah.
	And I was like, hey, that's another Russian thing.
	Chaos.
	K-A-O-S. And then you rightly pointed out that that was from a TV show.
	Get Smart.
	Get Smart.
	Well, this chaos...
	Yes, I know.
	There actually was an Operation Chaos.
	Yeah.
	That's not what I was going to say, but thanks for pointing it out.
	No, I'm going to play you something from Fox News, who are propagating the formula.
	They could have done more.
	Over the weekend, President Trump tweeted this.
	If it was the goal of Russia to create discord, disruption, and chaos within the U.S., then with all the committee hearings, investigations, and party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
	They are laughing their asses off in Moscow.
	Get smart, America.
	I actually never said that word on television.
	Get smart.
	They're putting it together in the same sentence.
	Chaos, get smart.
	Which I think is only anchoring the chaos meme.
	A lot of people are doing this.
	And the president tweeted it himself.
	He must be a master.
	We had an expert on the Russian hacking on PBS. And it was interesting to listen to her.
	Go on and on about it.
	There's an interesting rationale that I... But play this clip.
	This is since you brought it in.
	You opened the door.
	I did.
	Russian hacking the election won.
	...by a computer program.
	What the Internet Research Agency or the Troll Factory did, these were accounts that really looked like American citizens.
	They behaved like American citizens.
	And in the indictment, it even says one of the folks who was indicted wrote to a family member and said, you know, the Americans are buying this.
	Because they were so legitimate in the types of criticisms that people were levying of politics at that time.
	So pretty sophisticated stuff.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And long term.
	We saw that this was going on since 2014.
	And it was a widespread operation and pretty well funded.
	This is alleging over a million dollars per month were spent on this operation.
	So before these indictments?
	Hold on, I gotta call bullshit on this.
	This is a new meme.
	We know that the actual ad buy was more like 46,000 before the election, but because the report said that they hired people and employed people at the cost of millions of dollars, now that's being used as, and she actually conflates it by saying they spent it online as bullshit.
	No, I don't think she says that.
	It was a widespread operation and pretty well funded.
	This is alleging over a million dollars per month were spent on this operation.
	Oh, no, you're right.
	I thought she said online, on this operation.
	But you'll hear it.
	You'll hear the lexicon.
	No, they spend millions.
	They can transfer that very easily.
	That's already happening.
	So before these indictments came out last week, there was a testimony on the Hill by all the heads of every intelligence, major intelligence agency in this country.
	They all said to a person that these kinds of efforts by the Russians are continuing now, and there is concern that they're going to affect this year's midterm elections.
	What are they doing now?
	Are they doing the same things that the Mueller team identified?
	Have they changed their M.O. in any way?
	Yeah, I think that they're doing the exact same things.
	This is a tactic that they have practiced over more than a decade in Central and Eastern Europe, in countries like Estonia and Ukraine, certainly, and then we saw it more recently in the UK and in Germany.
	And what they're doing is just amplifying divisive rhetoric, again, in order to create more chaos and And distrust in the system.
	Ultimately, you know, a lot of people talk about hacking the election or hacking of voter rolls.
	We don't have any evidence of that happening yet.
	But what I'm most worried about going into the 2018 midterms is that suppression, voter turnout will be suppressed because people are going to be distrusting the system, distrusting that their vote matters.
	And that's the most dangerous thing and the most difficult thing to reverse.
	And I saw a wire story today that Italy is now another country that is concerned about Russian interference.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Now, before we play the second part, which has got some interesting information in it, what person out there, A, looks at something online, Facebook or Twitter or whatever, And says, oh, this is from the Russians.
	I've lost all faith in the American system.
	I'm not going to vote.
	People who are conditioned to think that.
	Yeah, but...
	By the mainstream media saying it constantly.
	Well, the mainstream media is causing it then, not the Russians.
	Correct.
	All right, well, let's go into this other one.
	This one is, I think Judy actually asks a real question.
	It wasn't, like, scripted.
	And you can kind of tell because she usually...
	She stumbles always...
	It's almost her tell when she's actually asking something because she's nervously worried that she's asking the wrong thing that's off script.
	But this is a real question and there's an answer to it that I think is very interesting.
	So, you know, we hear about what the Russians want to do is sow discord and division.
	What is their goal here, actually?
	The goal is to discredit Western democracy as we know it, which then gives Russia a better seat at the bargaining table.
	Okay.
	The goal is to discredit Western democracies and get a better seat at what bargaining table?
	That's a...
	Who is she again, this woman?
	She's some expert on Russian bullcrap.
	How could she make that statement?
	That's not what we've been told.
	Well, they just glossed it over.
	They ran right to the whole segment.
	Nobody stopped it to ask, what bargaining table are you talking about?
	But that wasn't the goal.
	The goal was to...
	Attack us like Pearl Harbor and get Trump elected.
	Pearl Harbor.
	Pearl Harbor Trump.
	Pearl Harbor Trump.
	So they want a better seat at some mysterious bargaining table that we know nothing of.
	Is this the one where the dogs are playing poker?
	Could be.
	That sounds like the table I want to be at.
	Huh.
	Interesting.
	That's their goal, to get a better seat at the bargaining table.
	The bargaining table.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	If she said to get his sanctions lifted or to get someone elected or to get their guy in, that would all make sense.
	What she said makes zero sense.
	Somewhere in the show notes, I have a rather long story that explains exactly who is behind this Russian troll factory or troll farm, whatever they call it.
	And I forget the guy's name.
	But he's basically some Russian dude who's disgruntled about, you know, maybe he got kicked out or something happened.
	And he...
	I think he owns...
	He's on, like, bakeries or something.
	They call him, like, Putin's baker or some bullcrap like that.
	And, you know, because when you look at the stuff, I mean, this is, it's obvious what happened.
	Guys pissed off.
	You know, said, you know, we're going to go, we've got to go mess with America.
	I hate him.
	Get me some guys.
	Okay, it's going to cost you, boss.
	All right, but I got a couple million rubles, millions of dollars, whatever it takes.
	But that doesn't mean you get a great team.
	And quite honestly, everything we've seen, grammatical errors, lame, placed in the wrong demographics, it was an amateur operation.
	We're still conditioned to think of chaos and get smart and the dumb Ruskies who just don't know what they're doing.
	I have a feeling they're a little more sophisticated than what we saw from the face bag.
	Yes, I agree.
	This is not run by the intelligence services.
	No, no, I mean, and that's really, if anything, it would make Putin laugh, because like, well, you really think we're that bad?
	We're that stupid?
	And I will say, when I was there in 1988, I was like, geez, this place is ass backwards.
	Yeah, it's been asked backwards until recently.
	But, you know, to think that they're so poor, you know, they have to take their own guys they couldn't hire locally, they couldn't flip some people, or whatever it takes if you're intelligence.
	You know, it's almost insulting to the intelligence community themselves.
	Yeah, I'd say I agree with that.
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile, on PBS, I have a couple more clips, but I ran into this call.
	You know, it's supposed to be their advertising, supposed to be no call to action, no this, no that.
	I don't know if PBS has that restriction.
	NPR does.
	Well, I think PBS has some, but apparently they don't have any when it comes to house ads.
	And I have a very weird house ad.
	Explain what a house ad is.
	A house ad is like when you're watching ABC and then you have the...
	A promo.
	An ad for drugs, and an ad for drugs, and an ad for drugs, and then an ad for one of their own shows.
	Yeah, a promo.
	That's a house ad.
	They're not making any money from the ad.
	What it does is it draws attention to a show that they want you to watch.
	It's effective for that, but it's free.
	Well, here's a PBS house ad that I thought was very interesting.
	This is the PBS that you love, but we're so much more.
	Your local PBS station is also a vital community resource, a critical service for first responders in times of need, and a safe space for young children to learn and grow.
	But it could all disappear without federal support.
	Go to protectmypublicmedia.org and tell Congress to preserve funding for your PBS station.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, man.
	We're missing out on the latest trend.
	In other words, we should do a house ad for our show.
	Yeah, we should have some, like, do we have any music?
	Any, let me see, like, bombastic music.
	We need some music.
	Bombastic music.
	Play that ad one more time.
	It's only 30 seconds, and maybe this will trigger one of our producers out there to do a house ad for our show.
	This is the PBS that you love, but we're so much more.
	Your local PBS station is also a vital community resource, a critical service for first responders in times of need, and a safe space for young children to learn and grow.
	But it could all disappear without federal support.
	Go to protectmypublicmedia.org and tell Congress to preserve funding for your PBS station.
	Yes, it could all end within a heartbeat, where we really do provide a safe space for citizens of shithole nation.
	It could all go away if you don't donate!
	That's close enough.
	That was a good try.
	Anyway, I thought that was very strange.
	Well, that they put the safe space bit in there was a bit much.
	Yeah, how does that work?
	Mommy, mommy, I'm scared!
	Come, just watch PBS, baby.
	There's safe space.
	It's all good.
	Yeah, it's a little unbelievable.
	They did have one little announcement.
	I thought they slipped into the PBS NewsHour that I thought was very, like, eh.
	You know, I feel bad about...
	I don't know if you could dig this up, but we had that clip of Tavis Smiley saying that guns are good, or, you know, the Second Amendment is the best thing that ever happened to the black community because it allowed us to arm ourselves.
	I'm going to take a look.
	I always thought that that was...
	As soon as he ever said that, that he was doomed to getting kicked off of PBS, because that took a lot of nerve, even though it's true.
	Let's see.
	Guns are good.
	Guns are good.
	Tavis Smiley might be under Smiley.
	Yeah, no, I have all the Tavis Smiley.
	Obamacare.
	Book, don't wait for the next war.
	Nah, I'll just have to take your word for it.
	No, it's a fact.
	Anyway, it was a good clip.
	But he's getting run out of town because of supposed...
	He's suing PBS for kicking him off the air.
	Yeah.
	And here's the official PBS response to it in the news hour.
	And it now appears the earliest known Britons looked very different from their modern day descendants.
	No, no, no.
	That's the wrong clip.
	Oh, shoot.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	My mistake.
	Yeah.
	Start.
	Yeah.
	No, I want you to play that other clip afterwards then since I was saving it, but we can play it.
	Have a smile.
	An outside legal review is now public on NPR's ouster last year of Michael Oreskes as its top news executive for alleged sexual harassment.
	It finds that there were questions about his behavior even before he was hired and repeatedly during his tenure.
	And separately, Tavis Smiley is suing PBS for breach of contract after it stopped distributing his show for alleged sexual misconduct.
	PBS says the suit is, quote, meritless.
	Jeez.
	Man, that guy's getting railroaded.
	And there are no official claims or alleges or anything.
	Oh, jeez.
	Poor guy.
	Yeah, I feel bad about it.
	Yeah, I mean, if something went down, right.
	But the way this happened makes no sense.
	He has no idea who complained, what they complained about.
	Yeah, it was a setup to get rid of him, and I think it's because of his comments about...
	About guns.
	About guns.
	Idiot.
	Well, he deserves it, then.
	Just two things, because I know you've got to go.
	This is my new thing now.
	Yeah, I can tell.
	Wow.
	Talking of house ads...
	This is a PSA from American Jews regarding Poland.
	And Poland, as I think we may have discussed, just enacted a law that says you're no longer able to say, print, publish anything about Polish Holocaust.
	And we've known there's been a long-time hatred between the American Jews and Poland for, really, the argument is, well, the Poles ran the concentration camps.
	And the Polish are going, no, no, we were just as much victim.
	And it's gotten to such an extent that even with the President promising the polls, when he was at the polls, he promised the polls, he said, it's two weeks within me in office, I'm going to make sure you guys get your visa waiver rights.
	Because every EU country has a visa, is it a member of ESTA? It's a visa waiver program, yes, except Poland.
	And now the heat has been turned up with this law, and this is the PSA. It stands for Public Service Announcement.
	After 3.5 million Jews were murdered in Poland, including hundreds of thousands of kids, the Polish have approved a new law.
	I will go to jail.
	To jail!
	So listen, Polish people.
	What happened during the Holocaust, listen.
	Repeal this disgraceful law now.
	Now!
	Now!
	Jews will never again be silenced.
	The USA should suspend all ties with Poland.
	Before it's too late.
	And we will never agree.
	To deny the Holocaust.
	In the name of six million Jews, sign our petition.
	The United States must suspend relations with Poland now.
	Sign the petition now.
	I am also in favor of suspension of relations with Poland until the Polish denial law is repealed.
	Go to www.neverdeny.org.
	American Jews.
	always with Israel.
	Pretty extreme.
	That's terrible.
	We should suspend.
	And they're not denying the Holocaust.
	It's not about the Holocaust, but they make it sound like it is.
	That's why I say no denial, denial, denial, which indicates Holocaust.
	They're denying their complicity.
	Yes.
	And we should suspend all relations with Poland immediately.
	Who put that ad out?
	That's disgusting.
	It's misleading and disgusting.
	I'm really, it is stunningly disgusting.
	Yeah, to me too.
	And, you know, yeah, I'm not quite sure.
	I mean, it's showing the hatred we always knew was there.
	And this is pretty blatant.
	And also, you know, yeah.
	Where'd you get that?
	Someone sent it to me.
	It's online.
	I have a website.
	No information.
	Sounds like a parody.
	No, it's not a parody.
	No, there's a website for it and everything.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me see if we have it here.
	That's the wrong one.
	Where is it?
	Poland.
	Here we go.
	Polish Holocaust law.
	Relations with Poland until the Polish denial law is repealed.
	Go to www.neverdeny.org.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Neverdeny.org.
	Now we need to look into this.
	Yeah, but I think I looked at it.
	It's just a website that's either in Hebrew or in English.
	You click English and all it has is...
	Oh, this is the Ruderman Family Foundation.
	Hello!
	No, you were just talking about them.
	Can't believe I didn't see that.
	There you go.
	The Ruderman Family Foundation.
	They're big money.
	But it seems a little extreme.
	But there's your hatred.
	Yeah, I'd say that was nothing but bigoted hatred.
	Right.
	And then, just because I thought it was funny, this...
	This report about how the face bag intends to solve the bogative Russians' advertising on their platform in America for political means problem.
	Hi, Trish.
	Well, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and PayPal...
	While all mentioned in this indictment, Facebook alone name dropped 41 different times.
	The indictment detailing how Russians were able to assume American identities using stolen personal information to buy ads and pay for it using PayPal accounts.
	So Facebook has one fix that they say might help stop foreign users from buying political ads in the future.
	Postcards.
	Facebook's global director of policy announcing at the National Association of Secretaries of State winter meeting this weekend that Facebook will start sending postcards by U.S. mail to verify political ad buyers actually live here in the U.S.
	The company admitting this new step won't solve everything that went wrong in 2016.
	Secretary of State Denise Miller also at the meeting was the president of NASS during the 2016 election.
	She says voter fraud and hackers aren't the biggest threat to election security.
	Duh.
	Duh.
	So...
	Yeah, of course, you can't use a cutout and have somebody just, you know, some drops.
	Or how about this?
	You just...
	I mean, a postcard is an open piece of mail.
	It's going to have a code on there that says, here's your confirmation code.
	And you can just have someone read the code, take a picture of it, done.
	Yeah.
	Postcard.
	Interesting.
	And it does remind me of, I was having an argument with one of our producers who was saying, you should get ProtonMail because then it's encrypted and people will send you more stuff.
	I said, well, I don't really like stuff at all, but I'm happy to receive it if people are comfortable with it and they encrypt it.
	But, you know, I have encryption on my server, and what's the big deal?
	I don't know who runs ProtonMail, what's going on inside their system.
	Why would I get an account there when you can send me encrypted mail?
	So this debate ensued about what was more secure, and so I reached out to VoidZero, Of course, Mark, who really is the head honcho of all of our infrastructure, and he knows a lot about security, said, what is the answer?
	And he said, well, if you want to send something securely between two people in the United States, the absolute most secure way is the U.S. postal system.
	Yeah, we've talked about this on the show.
	And I just wanted to reiterate for people that I think that's probably true.
	Because you cannot open up the mail.
	It's constitutional.
	I just thought it was an interesting...
	Gee, you better play a clipper to get us out of this funnier because this is really no good for the end of the show.
	I was going to let you die on the vine.
	Thanks for helping me out, buddy.
	I didn't...
	Just do anything.
	Just interrupt me at some point.
	Okay, play Washington's hair.
	Okay.
	Jeez, thank God.
	A piece of history found in a book.
	A librarian at New York's Union College claims to have found a lock of George Washington's hair in an almanac that was published in 1793.
	He says he found multiple strands of gray and white hair inside an envelope tucked inside the book.
	It's believed the hair was originally given as a keepsake to Alexander Hamilton's son.
	That was apparently a common practice back then.
	No DNA test has been conducted, but school officials say they have no reason to doubt its authenticity, and they plan to put the hair on display later.
	This.
	When?
	When will it go on display?
	Now I need to know.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	I'm reminded of the hair, the nose hair that is on display.
	Supposedly the nose hair of Muhammad.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	Which I think is a sin to even display, but they have it at the museum in Turkey.
	Nice.
	The old Sultan's Palace.
	I thought it was weird.
	Alrighty then.
	I don't know what's going on in your neck of the woods today, but it's just...
	Well, it looks like it's clouding over, which is mainly the little rain showers this afternoon.
	That's the most important thing to us, which, you know, we're in another new drought.
	Yes.
	Well, we just got rain and cold.
	That's what it is.
	We got cold, but no rain.
	We will return to this program, also known as the Best Podcast in the Universe, on Sunday for another episode.
	And at that point, I will also be coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, FEMA Region 6 on the maps, in the capital of the Drone Star State, in the 5x9 Cludio, in the Common Law Condo.

	Coffee drinkers, listen to this.
	A new lawsuit may soon force coffee shops in California to warn you about a possible cancer risk linked to your morning cup of java.
	The state has a list of chemicals it considers a possible cause of cancer, and one of them, acrylamide, is created when coffee beans are roasted.
