	Oh, stop.
	Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, March 11th, 2018.
	This is your award-winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1015.
	This is no agenda.
	Springing forward without falling back and broadcasting live from the Garden of Amsterdam, Laren in Gipo Nation Lowlands in a real studio in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I believe that at this moment I am the only person in the Western Hemisphere drinking a cup of Miles West Country tea.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	You know, you only have so much time to speak in the intro, just FYI. I know, but if you compare the amount of time you have.
	Oh.
	And the amount of time.
	I know, I didn't want to do this.
	I've gotten complaints.
	Over 1,000 episodes, and now, and now you complain.
	I'm not complaining.
	I got a complaint from one of our producers saying, your opening sucks.
	All you ever say is, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Adam's talking about this and he's talking about that and he's talking about this.
	But you don't say anything.
	You suck!
	So now I'm saying something.
	Okay, but you know, still, I'll do a little short and I'll give you a little more time.
	How does that sound?
	It doesn't bother me one way or the other.
	I just assume Sam John C. DeVorek, let's get the show going.
	Well, okay.
	Well, why don't you try that next time?
	But the producers, the producers, at least one or two of them, have complained about this opening of mine.
	And so now I'm adding a little zip to it.
	And of course, we run out of music right in the middle of it.
	That's okay.
	Well, the good news is that we're both here on time at the right time, which was barely expected.
	I produced all the show last night instead of in the morning.
	So I get an email like, I'm not getting up early.
	I'm doing my clips now.
	And then, oh, but I can go a half hour early.
	I'm like, are you high?
	So we already lose an hour and then you wanted to take another half hour?
	And you have overslept.
	You have messed this up before.
	You said you didn't.
	Do you remember this combo?
	This was so many years ago.
	I overslept once, and it wasn't my fault.
	The alarm wasn't set properly.
	Episode 84.
	That was kind of weird waiting for you.
	First of all, we moved our clocks.
	We sprung ahead last night, or early this morning, so we're now back to the eight-hour time difference between Gitmo Nation East and Gitmo Nation West, which is a shame.
	Wait a minute, I thought it was spring back, fall forward.
	No, it's fall back, spring forward.
	That would make no sense if it was spring back.
	You spring forward and you fall back.
	So, but now here we are, thousands episodes later, and you're still confused over how it works.
	I know how it works, and I don't like it.
	Well, I agree.
	Why did the U.S. spring forward?
	The Netherlands and Europe, the EU, doesn't do it for another couple of weeks.
	Why?
	Why?
	That makes no sense.
	It's the same, son.
	It's all part of the population control mechanism.
	Let's keep people under our thumbs, make them do this.
	Let's watch this.
	Let's change the time and see what they do.
	No, I think it's more like, hey, hey, hey, watch this.
	Watch me make those stupid idiots change their time.
	That's why they do it.
	It's one of the two.
	No other reason.
	Different form.
	Anyway, so I'm here in an actual studio today.
	Studio?
	Yes, in the Netherlands.
	Well, you sound good.
	You sound like you're on a good line.
	Yeah, well, I'm hardwired today.
	This is great.
	They got a hardwire for me.
	It's perfect.
	Yeah.
	So this is my buddy's studio and I'm helping out with, I told you about this, his initial coin offering.
	Yeah, this is the end of the No Agenda show.
	We're witnessing the beginning.
	Yes, what do you mean?
	We're supposed to retire rich, remember?
	Us and the audience.
	That's the whole idea.
	But I've practiced for you.
	I could explain what he's doing in 20 seconds.
	Go.
	Music production company with traditional publishing, and he outsources the promotion and distribution to The Network, which is...
	Shit, I forgot what I was...
	Oh, here we go!
	I did it so well earlier.
	Which the network is the token.
	So that's how promotion and distribution works.
	That network is realized through their token.
	And it's a very interesting model.
	Can't monetize the network.
	Exactly.
	That's why you don't monetize it.
	You put a token as the network.
	Remember, the network is the value.
	Theremin.
	Yeah.
	You laugh, Dvorak, but wait until I make us all rich.
	Leave your wife rich, I tell you, and our listeners, producers.
	It's gonna happen.
	Well, if anyone can do it, it's you.
	You have the Midas touch.
	I do.
	I have a lot of EU updates for you, but first, an interesting clip that someone sent me of our new friend, Jordan Peterson, the Scandinavian psychologist, who apparently visited the Netherlands not too long ago, and he noticed something, which I noticed as well.
	And because we're also so cynical about our own societies, you know, I was in Amsterdam a month ago talking to a group of well-placed intellectuals there, all friends of Theo van Gogh, who was killed in Amsterdam about 15 years ago, was stabbed.
	He's wrong there for a second.
	He was actually shot...
	This jihadi had an AK-47 shot him and then put a note with the other people on his death list and jabbed it onto his chest with a knife.
	That's what happened.
	But anyway, I digress.
	Goh, who was killed in Amsterdam about 15 years ago, was stabbed.
	And they said that embarrassment about the Dutch culture is rampant in their society.
	That just makes my jaw drop because I go to Holland and I think, my God, this is such an amazing place.
	These people, they scrape this country out of the bottom of the ocean.
	They built dikes to hold back the waves.
	It's free.
	It's liberal.
	It's compassionate.
	It's orderly.
	It's beautiful.
	Yet they're embarrassed by it.
	They're embarrassed by it because of its tyrannical, patriarchal nature.
	It's like, well, who are you comparing it to?
	It's like, what are we comparing our societies to?
	Where do you want to live on the planet or in time?
	Anywhere but in the West?
	Not if you have any sense.
	And it's true.
	People here really are embarrassed about their patriarchal culture.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	I know.
	It's right.
	It's very interesting.
	Yeah.
	Maybe they're just sick of having to do all the work and let the women take over.
	Well, that's our dream.
	I'm ready for it.
	Go Cleopatra.
	Make me your slave.
	Alright, let's see.
	Where to start?
	Well, I think maybe the...
	Of course, I've been talking to a lot of people here, a lot of young people, which is really nice.
	A lot of young people in this organization.
	What do you personally mean by young people?
	12-year-olds?
	Millennials, 23 to 25.
	You interrupted me, I was going to say.
	But younger than my daughter, so kind of our kids' age.
	And the big news, no doubt, was North Korea.
	And the way that's been received here is very positive for Trump.
	Just like, hey, wait a minute.
	That guy's actually doing something.
	Of course, there's all kinds of elections and political stuff going on here and everyone's extremely unhappy and we've got, you know, there's a lot of unrest.
	I think I have a clip here.
	We start with Italy.
	Italy's election earthquake is being felt in Brussels.
	The support for Eurosceptic and anti-immigration parties coming as a big shock from a country that's traditionally showed a lot of love for the European Union.
	But economic and migration worries have taken their toll on voters.
	Mrs Merkel has a lot of responsibility for what's happened, because she took a unilateral decision, he says, referring to migration, without any real discussion with her EU partners.
	I don't think that Italians are Eurosceptics, this man says.
	I think Italians have been waiting for answers from politicians.
	The answers haven't come for many years, so people vote to make politicians react.
	But here in Brussels, there's a feeling that voters may have become confused about the issues at the heart of Italy's vote.
	Hey, stupid slaves, you don't know what you're doing.
	You're confused.
	You're doing it wrong.
	This is a European trend, she says, like with Brexit.
	Unfortunately, people talk about migration by connecting it to social distress, but it's actually a result of the economic crisis.
	For forces in the EU Parliament driving a Eurosceptic agenda, the outcome of Italy's poll is a step forward.
	They do not wish European Union to continue in this way of a federal Europe or United States of Europe or deeper integration.
	And I hope that this message will be heard by Mr.
	Juncker, Chancellor Merkel and President Macron.
	Well, unlikely.
	It's the German Empire, let's call it what it is.
	It is.
	It is the German Empire.
	Banyan is also here in the EU's.
	Yes, I heard that.
	I saw some stories about him floating around promoting himself.
	Yeah, well, he was at Le Pen's re-election festivity.
	She was re-elected leader of the party once again.
	Marine Le Pen has been re-elected leader of France's right-wing National Front party at its annual congress in Lille.
	The party also agreed new statutes, including stripping party founder, Marine's father, Jean-Marie, of his position as honorary president.
	Le Pen got support from former chief White House strategist Steve Bannon.
	Let them call you racist.
	Let them call you xenophobes.
	Let them call you nativist.
	Wear it as a badge of honor.
	Because every day we get stronger and they get weaker.
	Le Pen was among audience members applauding the address from Bannon, who ran the right-wing Breitbart News, and was among Donald Trump's closest aides during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the presidential transition, and his first months in office.
	So I found that really strange.
	What the hell is he?
	Has he become a political consultant?
	I like his phrase because it reminds me of let me call you sweetheart to let them call you racist.
	I think there's a song opportunity here.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	Ah, a song opportunity.
	You mean for someone to remake something for us?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm thinking Chris, maybe.
	How does the tune...
	Let them call you racist, blah, blah, blah.
	Let them call you sweetheart.
	How does the melody go?
	Yeah, let me call you sweetheart.
	I don't know any of the lyrics, but it would fit right in.
	It'd be beautiful.
	Well, what you said earlier is what's really playing here, and what everyone is extremely talkative about, is the German Empire, as apparently President Trump, with his tariffs.
	We love his tariffs.
	Yeah!
	There we go.
	He's battling the German Empire.
	The EU and Japan are urging the United States to exempt them from metal import tariffs to avoid a trade war with the world's biggest economy.
	Following talks with the US and Japan's trade representatives in Brussels, the EU's Trade Commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom, took to social media and said in a tweet, there was no immediate clarity on how they could be excluded from the measures, and the discussions would continue next week.
	On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump set import tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum, but he exempted Canada and Mexico.
	Before the move, the meeting was planned as an opportunity to develop a united front in dealing with China and its alleged overproduction of steel.
	There you go.
	Wait a minute.
	It's about us?
	What?
	I think it's pretty funny.
	It's hilarious, actually.
	It's story after story of companies that import U.S. products who are very worried.
	I have one here.
	This is...
	Import or export?
	They import from the U.S. And they're worried?
	Yeah, they're worried that the EU will, in turn, raise tariffs on all kinds of products from the US. Ho, ho, ho, ho!
	That's the best he could do?
	Other parts of the US make up a big part of this business.
	Trump's tariff plans for imported steel and aluminium risk retaliations on American exports.
	If tomorrow there is a change in import duty, it will affect them tremendously.
	An effect of business, of course.
	I mean, we might have to reduce our activity because of the change of legislation.
	We are coming back in the 50s, so...
	Do we want to have prohibition again?
	Brussels could slap a 25% tariff on billions of euros' worth of US products, ranging from bourbon to Harley-Davidson motorbikes.
	The EU's trade commissioner doesn't want an escalation, but says measures would have to be taken to protect jobs.
	We cannot see how the European Union, friends and allies in NATO can be a threat to international security in the US. We find that assumption deeply unjust.
	There is still hope in EU circles that a trade war can be avoided.
	After all, Trump is unpredictable.
	But that means it can also get worse.
	There's unpredictable things paying off.
	Yeah, it's very well, actually.
	Well, there's a couple of things there.
	The only good argument I've heard was from the one and only producer of beer kegs, steel beer kegs, in the United States.
	There's one.
	Okay.
	And this guy was on the news, and he was bitching that it's going to make his prices go up because he's going to have to pay more for the steel.
	Yeah.
	Because as everyone knows, if it gets, you know, the steel prices are actually going to go up, even our domestic producers are not going to sell at the same old price when they get more money.
	Of course not.
	And he says it's going to put him out of business.
	He says the Chinese will end up taking over the keg business.
	Wait, I thought it was a penny a can or something.
	How can it be?
	No, we're talking a keg.
	Okay, so it's a thousand pennies.
	A keg.
	It's a big giant thing.
	It's all steel.
	It's all steel.
	Will it really put him out of business, though?
	He claims that he's already having to charge a premium to be the American maker.
	And why do they make these kegs out of steel?
	That makes little sense to me.
	It's a beer keg.
	You have to be very durable.
	I thought it was brilliant.
	You can make them out of aluminum.
	You can make them out of steel.
	I've seen them both.
	I've seen the different styles made from the different metals, but...
	It's a thing that bars use.
	It holds like a lot of beer and they have to return it.
	It's like a vessel that goes back and forth.
	Right, right, right.
	And it has to be pretty rugged.
	Well, do you think...
	So what do we think is actually going to happen?
	What is the real motive behind this other than, you know, renegotiating the bad trade deal that the U.S. has with Gitmo EU? With everybody.
	Well, with everybody.
	I heard...
	I think it was...
	I think it was Scott Adams.
	He had a theory about this.
	And his theory was that after the World War II, part of the Marshall Plan, that the U.S... We cut a lot of favorable deals with a lot of different countries.
	It wasn't necessarily part of the Marshall Plan, but around the same time, I presume.
	And those were never really readjusted.
	We did that as a favor to everybody to help build up our customer base again.
	And therefore, we have these huge trade imbalances.
	And we're kind of seen as the sucker of the world.
	But hey, like the Paris Accord.
	Let's go get some money from those guys and give it to Africa.
	I believe that, I don't know about the first part, but the second part for sure.
	We're just suckers.
	That was one of the reasons Trump got elected.
	The thing that still bothers me about the whole election and the complaining about one candidate or the other...
	Is that we still haven't seen the actual wordage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, which was kept a secret, and it was going to do all these great things, and Trump was saying it's out, and Hillary was saying it's in, then she said it was out when Trump said it was out, and he was getting traction, so she changed her mind, but you know, if she got elected, the thing would be back in for sure, because it's a globalist thing.
	Yep.
	And I'm still interested in what kind of onerous crap was in that agreement.
	If you look at the most recent edition of The Economist...
	I'm going to have a screenshot in the show notes.
	I'm going to bring it up here.
	It says, the front page, it's a picture of a hand grenade with Trump's face in it, doing that, like a real angry Trump face.
	Yeah, the angry Trump face.
	And his hair is the lever.
	And it says, the threat to world trade.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	That's what he promised, I think.
	Exactly.
	Why is the economist...
	Exactly what he promised, but now everyone's all, what?
	What?
	He actually is going along with something he promised and now he's going to do it?
	Are you kidding me?
	This will not stand.
	Well, the economist, of course, has completely turned globalist to an extreme one-world order, one-world governance.
	Yeah, new world order.
	New world order, yeah.
	Yeah.
	And so I take their stuff like...
	I always read it with that in mind.
	If you read it with that in mind, you can kind of hear what they're...
	They're kind of representing the old-fashioned internationalists from the Soviet era.
	Mm-hmm.
	I think they're full of crap, personally.
	We had this thing that came out.
	Well, let's talk about the Korea thing for a second.
	That's new to the story, to our show.
	And it happened on the show day, of course.
	It broke, yeah, the show day.
	And so we need some backgrounders on.
	Now, I have...
	Nobody can really find much fault with this, except...
	They finally did.
	Oh, thank goodness.
	Thank goodness.
	Because once you got to the PBS NewsHour, you had Brooks and Shields, and Brooks bailed out and brought in some woman, Kathleen, I think Kathleen Perkins, who was sitting next to Shields, and I don't know if she did it, I don't know who did it, but someone jacked her chair up, so she's like a mile high, and She looks like gargantuan because she's up in the thing.
	She's at least two feet over Shields' head and she's towering over Judy.
	Now that's, now wait a minute, that's very odd.
	You know, that's the kind of thing that, I think Jay Leno used to do that, maybe Carson too?
	No, yeah, Carson I think invented it.
	Yeah, his chair was always, that host's chair was about a foot higher than the guest.
	Right.
	And that was the, it was part of the, Psychology of the show.
	But generally speaking, the floor manager is supposed to not let what happens.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Look at the way they'd scoot her down, but I think she grabbed the lever and popped herself way up in the air.
	But she was just like crazy.
	I don't think they're going to ever have her back, but she's another WAPO Trump hater.
	her and I'm just gonna give one example of her her listening to her I want you to listen to every word she this is the what was the point Kathleen made this woman I want you to listen to the words that she uses and what she's trying to say and then when they kick it over to shields he says agrees with her you tell me what she said that he's agreeing with yeah
	Trump can do anything to alienate his base, but I think we ignore them as well as the theater, because it's what happens among the rest that matters.
	We've only got a little more.
	I'm sorry.
	Just one follow-up.
	I agree with the point Kathleen made.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	Hold on a second.
	I've got to hear that again.
	That was very...
	What does she say?
	She's just throwing words together.
	The theater and the Trump...
	Let me hear it again.
	Let me listen again.
	Trump can do anything to alienate his base, but I think we ignore them as well as the theater, because it's what happens among the rest that matters.
	Okay, she's not only high on the chair, she's high on something else.
	What the hell is that?
	And so is Brooks.
	So is Brooks.
	I agree with you.
	That's just people not listening to each other.
	No, that wasn't Brooks.
	That was Shields.
	Brooks isn't there, thank God.
	He's just not listening.
	He wasn't listening.
	Just one follow-up.
	I agree with the point Kathleen made.
	He's just trying to be courteous.
	I see this all the time on CNN. Oh, I totally agree with what you say, but let me tell you what's really going on.
	That's how it works.
	Let's find one of the backgrounders on the...
	I got two of them in here.
	I got a fairly long one.
	This is on the CBS Morning Show background.
	It's probably the best one because it's not...
	It's still compressed, but there's another one on here.
	But they play this Trump-Kim CBS morning show.
	This will give us a background.
	President Trump says he's ready to make history by meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
	South Korea's national security adviser announced the news outside the White House last night after meeting with Kim earlier this week.
	The official says Kim is committed to denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and will refrain from further nuclear or missile tests.
	Mr.
	Trump tweeted last night, great progress being made, but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached.
	The Secretary of State says it will take weeks to set up a time and place.
	Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan is in Washington.
	Margaret, good morning.
	A few months ago, these two leaders were calling each other dotard and little rocket man.
	Dotard.
	What has changed?
	Awkward first conversation, John, but we'll see how that meeting goes, if it happens at all, because today the Secretary of State said this decision was made by the President himself after the U.S. was surprised to hear how forward-leaning Kim Jong-un was in his own desire to hold talks.
	And he said as much this week to our U.S. allies South Korea and that delegation that visited Pyongyang.
	And all of that recounting of that dinner convinced the president to meet with Kim Jong-un.
	So it sharply contrasts with the hardline rhetoric that the president has been using.
	But it's not the first time he's offered to meet with the leader of a rogue state without precondition.
	Remember, the president asked to meet with Iran's president back in September when he was visiting the U.N. in New York, but Iran rejected that request.
	So you'll see the president here is willing to take a gamble.
	That's right.
	So a little carrot and stick.
	The tough language, but then also willing to meet.
	So is that the strategy going forward?
	What's the White House doing to prepare for these possible talks?
	They're already giving themselves some wiggle room here because they're not committing to that May date that was floated.
	You can just hear them thinking, oh, please, please let him mess it up.
	Oh, please don't.
	Oh, please.
	No, wiggle room.
	No, no.
	He's going to back out.
	Please.
	Oh, I pray to God.
	Dear Lord, our Savior, please, please.
	...by South Korea.
	The U.S. is also keeping sanctions in place.
	They're not offering a reward simply for talking.
	But in the meantime, the White House says it's just too early to say which lower-level U.S. officials might first meet with North Korea to lay the groundwork for a presidential encounter.
	Typically, that would be the Secretary of State and the State Department.
	But I'm told the National Security Council is leading the way.
	Remember, the State Department officials, the most experienced meeting and negotiating with North Korea, is quitting.
	And today, the Secretary of State said it's going to take weeks to prepare for a presidential meeting.
	Unclear if he will be doing the legwork.
	You know what I'm a little tired of from the M5M? I'm a little tired of hearing the White House said.
	The White House is a building.
	Stop.
	Who said what?
	That's what I want to know.
	Was it Sarah Sanders?
	I think we should probably harp on this, because you're right.
	The White House can be...
	The White House, does it specifically mean the executive branch, or just...
	The Gardner?
	The Gardner?
	Who the hell knows?
	Yeah, I don't like that.
	The White House.
	That's a good point.
	Well, okay, let's go to what I would consider more of the typical report, which is the Trump-Kim story one.
	This is ABC. Surprise, praise, skepticism.
	PBS, PBS. Sorry.
	That was it.
	That was it.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	The attribution was wrong.
	This is PBS. They did a pretty good job.
	The range of reactions to last night's announcement that President Trump and North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un may meet face to face.
	Hari Sreenivasan begins our coverage.
	It was a stunning announcement made more so by the circumstances in the White House driveway by South Korea's visiting national security advisor.
	Kim pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests, and he expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible.
	South Korean officials had met with Kim Jong-un on Monday and then briefed President Trump Thursday afternoon.
	President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong-un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization.
	If that does happen, it would mark the first time any sitting American president has met face-to-face with a North Korean leader.
	Mr.
	Trump weighed in on Twitter last night saying, quote, Today, during a visit to Djibouti, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the president's decision was not a surprise.
	President Trump has said for some time that he was open to talks and he would willingly meet with Kim Jong-un when conditions were right and the time was right.
	And I think in the press's judgment that time has arrived now.
	Typical PBS where they play the South Korean president and miss the actual money quote?
	That's so stupid.
	You have the money quote?
	Of course.
	Don't laugh.
	Why are you laughing?
	Shut up.
	Okay, got me on that one.
	You walked right into it.
	I did.
	Well, I'm always good to say I can do a softball as well as the next guy.
	So the thing about this particular clip was they had Tillerson at the end saying, well, Trump is always saying he wants to do this, and so he got the opportunity and he drove through the open door.
	Now, The mainstream media, the M5M, is all playing it as, oh, Tillerson didn't even know!
	Tillerson didn't know!
	Chaos!
	Chaos!
	And to take it one step further, these two doofuses that were Shields and Kathleen, they came up with a couple of funny ones.
	Kathleen says...
	Well, the thing that was stunning was that the South Koreans made the announcement.
	What was Trump?
	Was he at dinner?
	And she went on and on about it, as though this was some major thing, even though I think he did it on purpose to make the South Koreans feel included into the situation, because this is a major, major deal on that peninsula.
	Maybe we should stop for a second and just back up with what we've been talking about for half a decade.
	Maybe longer?
	Since almost the beginning of our show.
	Almost.
	Within a couple of years of the beginning.
	My uncle, Donald P. Gregg, was the ambassador to South Korea in the 80s.
	He was CIA station chief in the region for decades.
	Yeah, it's on the wiki.
	Yeah, and I talked with him many times about it, and he said, look, Adam, this is what's going on.
	This is all about the military-industrial complex.
	We have to have something scary in the region.
	Think Axis of Evil, and that's why we sell billions of dollars worth of crap to South Korea.
	That's great for our industry.
	At the same time, we also have all kinds of spy stuff.
	We can keep our eye on China, keep our eye on Russia.
	And he capped it off by saying, believe me, Dennis Rodman knows more about North Korea than the entire administration at the time was the Obama administration, who kicked him out when he went to go talk to him.
	We're not interested in talking to you.
	And he says all they want is they just want to be recognized as a country.
	They don't want armistice.
	They want to be a country and be able to do things as a country.
	That's all they want.
	And we know you introduced this and it's turned out to be completely true.
	Tourism is the main thing they want.
	Skiing.
	All kinds of fun stuff.
	That was a giveaway when you saw that first Vice.
	That's where I got it from.
	The first Vice.
	Even though they never mentioned it, but that first little special they did where they went into North Korea and giggled all the time and took pictures of a little camera.
	And...
	By the way, this is all in the newsletter.
	Yes.
	This problem that they have.
	To me, it's a mathematical situation.
	How much more money can we waste or can the military industrial complex make?
	How much more government money can they squander and how much money can they soak the South Koreans for?
	Right.
	As opposed to how much money the world can make with peace on the peninsula and a tourist trap in North Korea.
	A lot less.
	A lot less.
	And just to say as a side note, I don't have a clip for it, but we've identified the military-industrial complex was freaking out about any possibility, so what did we do?
	Oh yeah, Syria has chemical weapons and North Korea gave them to them!
	Come on, guys, you've got to do better than that.
	Oh yeah, they can't pull something like that off and get away with it.
	I think they pulled back on it.
	Because I haven't heard any more mention of it, and it should have been mentioned during this cycle where we're going to go visit him.
	Maybe he'll get contaminated.
	I mean, that hasn't been brought up.
	Considering they also claim that North Korea now has the largest cache of chemical weapons, which you've never heard this claim before, ever.
	Yeah, it's bullcrap.
	Yeah.
	And we have...
	So, there's a follow-up clip to this and I want to play it, but I'm going to jump, I'm going to do another cross clip because talking about how the left-wing media wanted to make it sound as though Trump didn't consult Tillerson, you know, and apparently Trump should be consulting everybody all the time because after Kathleen went on about why was the South Koreans doing the announcement,
	Mark Shields Just one follow-up.
	I agree with the point Kathleen made.
	Two people who were not involved in the Korean decision.
	Jim Mattis, the Secretary of Defense, and Joe Dunn, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
	What a canard!
	If you can think about making policy involving North Korea by excluding, not including and relying upon the judgment of these two rather outstanding, remarkable leaders, I just can't believe it, but Donald Trump has done that.
	It's an outrage.
	It's an outrage.
	He doesn't know any of this.
	He doesn't know that these guys didn't give him the green light or maybe they already had the discussion.
	The White House didn't speak to him.
	The White House didn't speak to him.
	This is bullcrap.
	The building was silent.
	He was trying to find any kind of flaw.
	And then he goes on and on about how these two great men, one of the greatest.
	When did this happen?
	When did they become these two great guys working for Trump?
	Tillerson was the oil shill and now he's a great guy.
	Well, he's specifically talking about the Joint Chiefs guy and the defense guy, the droopy dog defense secretary.
	Yeah, Mad Dog.
	Mad Dog.
	Mad Dog, Mad Dog Mattis.
	As, you know, on the one hand, they're bitching.
	Oh, the White House is a complete...
	And Kathleen earlier says, the whole White House is run by a bunch of kids.
	They're 25 and 26.
	It's chaos, chaos.
	And now we have these two guys.
	They're the greatest men in history that weren't consulted, which we don't know for a fact.
	Anyway, I just found the coverage by these guys because they're cornered.
	They don't know what to think of this.
	Their brain is freezing.
	In fact, I think the kicker here is in Trump-Kim's story, too, which is, I think, really what's eating at them.
	Michael Pillsbury, to you first.
	Should President Trump have agreed to this meeting?
	Yes, absolutely.
	I think the issue, though, is whether there should be conditions attached that the North Koreans have to fulfill before the trip happens.
	As you know, the president was very clear that the date and the place are yet to be negotiated.
	It's subject to quite a few other decisions being made.
	But overall, this is really a chance for him to become a great president in foreign policy.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	I wouldn't roll out the Nobel Peace Prize and all kinds of breakthroughs, but we're in the very first phase of this today.
	Oh my, OMG! Could you imagine that?
	I would think it would really be fantastic because it would be so funny to watch how they scramble.
	Oh, my goodness.
	So they're going to try to submarine this thing.
	I mean, there's lots of forces that would be lined up against this happening.
	But Trump, I don't know.
	You never know.
	I mean, he obviously doesn't consult anybody.
	He just goes off on his own, which sounds like the way to go, if you ask me.
	Yeah.
	And I think that Trump is probably thinking Nobel Peace Prize himself.
	He's thinking, oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and he could...
	And by the way, above security.
	What?
	Above world peace and security.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, not with that.
	So, he'd take the award, knowing Trump, he'd take the award, and then he'd say, thank you for this Nobel Peace Prize, and I promise, after receiving this award, I'm not going to go on a killing spree like that other guy did.
	No drone for you?
	I got a piece of Trump's rally in Pennsylvania.
	He's there trying to help the incumbent Republican in the midterm election.
	I don't know the guy's name.
	I didn't see the whole speech, but I did pick up this clip.
	Let me see.
	Where is it here?
	Yeah.
	Listen to this.
	Tonight, President Trump stumped for a Pennsylvania Republican near Pittsburgh, but it sounded just as much a campaign rally for himself.
	The president took aim at everyone, from Nancy Pelosi to the media.
	He told the crowd that he would build a wall, quote, 100%.
	He also announced his 2020 campaign slogan is, Keep America Great.
	We can't say, Make America Great again, because I already did that.
	Right?
	But our new slogan...
	I'm sorry.
	I think I... That was the wrong clip.
	This is the one I meant.
	We've had a problem for years with North Korea.
	In fact, President Obama said it was the biggest problem we had.
	And South Korea went there.
	We put very, very strong sanctions and lots of other things we've been doing.
	What the hell does that mean?
	Lots of other things we've been doing?
	That's a typical Trumpism where he lets something slip.
	You know, that means something was going on in the background that we don't know about.
	I agree.
	We put very, very strong sanctions and lots of other things we've been doing right from the first day I was in office.
	And South Korea came to my office after having gone to North Korea and seeing Kim Jong-un.
	And, no, it's very positive now.
	After the meeting, you may do that, but now we have to be very nice, because let's see what happens.
	Let's see what happens.
	So the South Korean top people, top representatives, they walked out to White House to a throng of these characters.
	These pointing at the media, the cameras in the back.
	Big group.
	And everybody wanted to find out what happened.
	Now, they had just left North Korea.
	And look, North Korea is tough.
	They're testing nuclear weapons.
	They're doing a lot of things.
	This should have been handled, by the way, over the last 30 years.
	Not now.
	That's when it should have been handled.
	They shouldn't have handled it.
	This should have been handled.
	And everybody will say it, too.
	But that's okay.
	Because that's what we do.
	We handle things.
	And these guys came out.
	And they said that your president's done a great job, I might say.
	Thanks, Obama.
	So, wait a minute.
	Maybe he was saying, you know, there's other things.
	Maybe we killed his half-brother.
	How about that?
	Oh, you mean that's always possible.
	Yeah, maybe there was some stuff going on.
	Like, hey, dude, watch this.
	And now you're going to get blamed.
	As an example?
	Or maybe there's some propaganda going on, because I still don't believe for a minute that they executed some guy by releasing dogs or shooting with a cannon from a naval ship.
	So there's a lot of propaganda that's very dubious, that's for sure.
	Well, let's see what happens.
	I think if Trump can get away with it and have the meeting, I think he can charm the guy.
	Even though now we're starting to read more analysis from M5M saying, well, or in fact, actually my liberal friends, this one came through.
	Your liberal journo friends.
	It's, oh, it's going to happen.
	Well, what did they say?
	You know, you have to start reading your text messages with them verbatim.
	I've got to print them out.
	You've got to, yes, print them out.
	But it goes like this, goes something like this, oh, this is a setup.
	So Kim can read Trump and then find a way to use him because now all of a sudden Kim Jong Il is not a un or whatever which one he is.
	I can't remember anymore.
	Kim is what I call him.
	He is now, instead of being off the deep end, a crazy man.
	The crazy, crazy rocket man.
	He's a genius.
	This is what they're going to start saying.
	He's a conniving genius.
	He's going to figure out Trump and use him.
	That's from the left.
	Yeah, just like Putin did.
	Yeah, it's always the same.
	It's always the same.
	The guy's nuts.
	He's useless.
	And now he is a genius.
	Well, actually, I have a clip that kind of ties into that.
	This is from the John Batchelor show.
	He had on two guys, and I really thought it was interesting because the first guy you'll hear talking is Thaddeus George...
	Uh, McCotter, known as Thad, uh, former representative.
	He used to be the chairman of the, uh, House of Representatives Security Council thingamabob there.
	I think he actually ran the whole security committee.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm going to have his wiki page.
	Intelligence Committee, or?
	Yeah, I think it was the Intelligence Committee.
	Let me see.
	Oh, let's look him up.
	Uh, consult the Book of Knowledge while we're at this.
	Consult the Book of Knowledge.
	His name is Thaddeus McCotter.
	M-C-C-O-T-T-E-R. I thought I had a wiki page saved in the show notes.
	There he is.
	He's a Republican.
	He's a radio host.
	He is now, but he used to be the...
	Oh, no, I'm sorry.
	Not the security.
	The House Republic Policy Committee.
	Okay, not all that great.
	And then the other guy is...
	What is his name?
	The journalist Lee Smith.
	Anyway, so they're talking about the M5M, about how they have formulated the Russia investigation.
	And this kind of moves off topic.
	I think we're done with North Korea.
	Or not.
	We're done.
	We're done.
	Well, listen to it.
	You'll get the idea pretty quick.
	A lot of this sounds like the nightmarish scenario that was once envisioned under the CIA's Operation Mockingbird.
	Now, that's an actual congressman admitting that Operation Mockingbird was real.
	Then it was real.
	I don't think.
	Who's denied it?
	If you say to anybody in Dementia B, you say, well, you know, there was this program where the CIA infiltrated the entire...
	Put dementia on the list.
	Dementia.
	Infiltrated the entire media.
	They were either writing the stories directly or the CIA was handing it to them.
	Then it was an actual program.
	It did happen.
	It's still going on as far as I can tell.
	Well, that's the point of the clip.
	When you talk about a lot of these reporters, a question if they even understand.
	And by the way, this is nothing we don't know or haven't discussed, but it's fun to hear it.
	And that history of how the intelligence community viewed the press.
	And is a lot of this the fact that they don't follow up?
	Like, if a source in an intelligence community gives them a story, as you pointed out in your article, they should then go to the specific source of where the event actually occurred and talk to people with direct knowledge of it.
	But they don't do that, do they?
	I know this is going to sound a little far out, but I mean, it's not journalism.
	It's an operation, right?
	That's what it is.
	It's an operation.
	This has nothing to do with journalism.
	They're not reporting stories.
	They're not writing stories.
	It's part of an operation.
	And people, many people on the left, aside from those I've named, are content or even people on the right are happy because, for goodness sake, anything to jam up Donald Trump, he's crazy.
	So who cares?
	The fact is, it's not about Donald Trump.
	Right.
	It's what they're doing to the American public.
	And there's a story in today's post, I believe, which is about how the Mueller investigation is turning toward Eric Prince's meeting in the Seychelles with this Russian banker and Emirati officials and this Lebanese American businessman.
	I mean, it's insane.
	A back channel.
	Mueller is now looking for a back-channel, or he believes that the Prince meeting represents a back-channel?
	The whole premise of Russiagate says, the Steele dossier, as Jane Mayer wrote this week in The New Yorker, the whole premise is that Donald Trump has been cultivated by Vladimir Putin himself, and yet there's a back-channel meeting in the Seychelles by a former Navy SEAL, the brother of the education secretary?
	This is preposterous.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's pretty obviously preposterous if you take a look at it objectively instead of getting all emotional.
	Yes.
	Yeah, Mockingbird.
	Yeah, it's still going on.
	I think it's easy to spot.
	Somebody said, well, you know, somebody in Twitter or someplace, I was reading an article.
	About some guys saying, you know, it would be great.
	What WikiLeaks needs to do is get a hold of the list.
	Sorry, you need to say Russian WikiLeaks.
	Otherwise, it's not correct.
	WikiLeaks needs to get a hold of all the journals who are on the CIA or NSA or FBI. The CIA does this.
	Payroll and publish it.
	And, yeah, well, that'd be great if they could, but I don't think, I think that in particular is very difficult to do.
	But you can reverse engineer who they are.
	Well, but what they're saying is a little different.
	When, you know, all the reportings, CNN does this mainly, but all of them do it.
	Fox, MSNBC, they all talk about, well, sources say, a source said, multiple sources said, but, you know, who are the sources?
	So they don't even know that they're being duped.
	They just hear someone, this is a deep source, it's got to be right.
	I'm sure we're duped like that from time to time as well on this very program.
	But we have been tricked a couple of times.
	Of course, of course.
	That's fine.
	I agree that there's probably a lot of these guys that are just crappy journos and they don't know what they're doing and they bite on anything because they punch out at five and they're good to go.
	But there's still people that are...
	The ones that are important are the ones who are on the payroll, because they're setting the agenda, they're setting the stage, they're the ones that are pushing the trend toward this or toward that.
	And it would be nice to know who they were.
	You can reverse engineer who they were, and I think one revelation was during that period of time when...
	When Dianne Feinstein had the big report, the torture report, that nobody wanted to release and she wanted to release and then they found they were spying on her.
	That's when she got all bent out of shape.
	The CIA was spying on them.
	Yeah, they were spying on them.
	And they lied about it.
	And she bitched and moaned.
	And then she wants to bring this report out and then all of a sudden there's a big debate in the country.
	And journals are brought in, and some of them said, yeah, they should bring this report out.
	We want to see what's in there.
	And then a bunch of them came out and said, well, it would hurt the CIA's credibility.
	It would be bad.
	And the ones who all said that were the guys on the payroll.
	Right, right.
	And we've spotted half of them.
	Richard Engel was one of them.
	Why would Richard Engel come on and say that it's a bad idea to bring this report out?
	How, as a journalist, Do you think it's a bad idea to bring out more information into the public domain?
	That's exactly the opposite of what you're taught.
	Yes.
	And what happened to the brave journos of the Post as depicted by Meryl Streep as the publisher of the Post?
	We'll do those Pentagon Papers!
	We'll go to jail if we have to!
	And the funny thing is about that, I was around during that era when the Pentagon Papers were released.
	And I watched that I didn't watch the movie because it was dreck, but it was the New York Times that brought out the Pentagon Papers and everyone knows it.
	If the Washington Post did anything, they just did a Me Too thing.
	Oh, I didn't know this.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's all it was about was the New York Times, the New York Times.
	It was the New York Times.
	I didn't even know until that movie came out that the Washington Post had anything to do with it.
	Huh.
	Well, I didn't know that either.
	Well, now you know.
	Huh.
	The more you know.
	I could be wrong, but I was there when it happened.
	And I was an anti-war guy, and it was like, oh, great.
	The New York Times, look what the New York Times is doing.
	The Washington Post had nothing to do with it.
	Did you protest like an anti-war guy?
	Did you go to the mall?
	I stayed out of it.
	I learned my lesson earlier.
	You don't want to get involved too close to protests and get hurt.
	Yeah, and by the way, we have all these protests.
	We've got the big march coming up in April, the Children Against Guns, which has been completely co-opted by the March On movement, the women's movement, Soros money.
	Yeah, Soros.
	You know, I think that in school, these kids should be taught with real protests.
	You want to make a difference?
	Do like those monks in Vietnam.
	Set yourself on fire.
	Now you're brave.
	Self-immolation, that's what I call for.
	But no, we're just going to have signs and pussy hats.
	Anyway, I think this post movie that came out, I think it was sponsored by the agency and probably even scripted by him.
	But as a thanks for helping us during our current problems with Trump, this is kind of a thank you.
	They get a little free publicity.
	I don't know how this is going to turn out, but it's not going to turn out well for Jeff Bezos.
	Oh?
	Well, I just don't think he can be in bed unless you're, you know, he's not a CIA agent.
	Because of the $500 million Amazon Web Services deal with the CIA? He's still not a CIA agent.
	No.
	Yeah, he's cooperative.
	He's a cooperative guy.
	They could just do one little misstep and the guy's, you know...
	Interesting.
	Well, I mean, it just happens.
	Well, Trump does have Bezos in his sights.
	I would hope so.
	Yeah, but why?
	Because Bezos owns the Washington Post, and everybody at the Washington Post is just a Trump basher.
	That's all they do.
	I'm sorry, I forgot.
	It's like all the summaries of all the news stories.
	It's not a summary of the news stories.
	It's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	Right.
	Yeah, there's no news.
	There's zero news.
	I mean, they did a good story recently, and I pointed it out on a Twitter forward of MS-13 killing all these people because apparently a whole slew of MS-13 kids were...
	Picked up at the border and then shipped to Long Island to live there.
	Yeah.
	The feds did this.
	So now they're murdering people.
	It's like 26 dead so far.
	Staten Island would have been a better choice, honestly.
	I'm sure there's some there too.
	Staten Island.
	Hey, did you know there's a Staten Island zoo?
	Is there still one?
	I think you're right, actually.
	Staten Island is not that bad, really.
	It's just it gets a bad rap because it's built on garbage.
	It's a small thing.
	So we're done with that North Korea thing.
	Up in your neck of the woods.
	And we sound like a couple of Trump supporters.
	We're not.
	We're very objective.
	What we do is deconstruct news.
	I want to just remind people.
	And we find fault.
	And the fault seems to have a theme.
	And the theme is bash Trump.
	So...
	Looks like we're not supporting Trump, we're just supporting the truth.
	John, do you think that you're really going to get through to somebody who has already made up their mind about who we are and what we do?
	No, in fact, because of the global warming thing, and my mudflats out here, which haven't changed in over 100 years, which should have...
	Oh, stop!
	Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
	We have a new report.
	Yeah, we do.
	And here it is.
	The way to really look at it is we built a civilization with 7 million people around this bay, this estuary, and a lot of what we built is built on mud.
	And even if we hadn't built it in the first place here, it would have been gradually sinking as the mud just compacts.
	Most of the Bay shoreline is sinking by about two millimeters a year, according to the research that was published.
	That's about the thickness of a nickel.
	It doesn't sound like much, but certain places that were built on fill, those areas are sinking much faster, you know, up to 10 millimeters a year, according to Roland's research, which is something on the order of half an inch a year or, you know, about 6 inches every 12 to 13 years.
	And when you overlay that with the fact that San Francisco Bay has already risen by about 8 inches since the Gold Rush.
	What?
	And oceans are rising at a faster rate now as the climate continues to warm.
	We're looking at potentially places like the runways at San Francisco International Airport, the homes at Foster City, the shoreline around Hayward and Union City, Alviso in the South Bay.
	Really being at greater risk for flooding with every passing year.
	By 2100, we're talking about half the runways being underwater at SFO. And we've been doing it for 10 years.
	Go, go!
	This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay.
	Look out your window, baby!
	That's right, John C. Dvorak sees the mudflats.
	He's been there for decades.
	What does it look like, John?
	Well, kind of bad news today.
	I can't see the mudflats because we're fogged in.
	I can barely see across the street, so I can't give the report.
	Great report, John.
	Thank you very much.
	Sorry.
	Just so you know, I don't know where you're going to fly out of, but it won't be SFO. The runways will be underwater.
	Yeah.
	Well, Oakland would be the same.
	Oakland is...
	Also, they didn't mention Oakland because it's lesser.
	But, you know, there's too many black people there, so let's don't mention them.
	Right.
	Who cares?
	We don't care.
	So Oakland runway is right on the water just exactly the same way the San Francisco one is.
	But it hasn't gone up, down, left, or right.
	The feet.
	What did he say?
	He said eight inches.
	The bay has risen eight inches.
	Yeah.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	No evidence of it.
	There's lots of stuff going on in Oakland right now.
	I got another Oakland report.
	This is a social justice warrior act.
	How dare this?
	Austin Muerte Coffee in Oakland, not far from the mayor's office, will not serve coffee to police in uniform.
	On their website, they say, we have a policy of asking police to leave for the physical and emotional safety of our customers and ourselves.
	And in fact...
	A cop went in in uniform in the last month or so.
	They asked him to leave.
	He didn't get any coffee.
	The cops are trying to have a dialogue with the coffee shop.
	That's actually footage of the actual coffee shop.
	I just want to show you just how classy our police officers are.
	Here's the response of a police officer who went in, was refused service, and just quietly walked out.
	And he said, I look forward to talking with the shop owners to build a better relationship with them and the rest of us.
	Okay, so, and it's legal.
	Apparently you can refuse service to a cop in uniform, I guess.
	But how does that work with, compared to bakeries and gay cakes?
	Well, the other thing is, is all I know is that if I'm going to a donut shop, a coffee shop, wherever cops could congregate, I... I think it's cool to have a couple of cops sitting by the door having some coffee and a croissant.
	Really?
	Hey, I want a croissant!
	Sure.
	Because it just makes the place feel safer.
	You know, they're not going to get, you know, the place is going to get riddled with bullets or anything with the cops there.
	But still, it's national news when, you know, a bakery on religious backgrounds...
	Well, this is national news too.
	Everybody's playing this cop story.
	Oh, I didn't know.
	Well, of course, I'm over here.
	I didn't know about it.
	Yeah, no, it's been played everywhere.
	I got a bunch of emails about it.
	I didn't know.
	If you wanted to talk about it, I thought it was silly.
	I think it's probably not a good idea because the cops really, you know, they...
	They have their ways.
	Just monitor the street more.
	Everyone gets parking tickets, right?
	Click!
	Ding!
	Turns red.
	Ticket!
	They're not that loved, is what you're saying.
	They're not that loved.
	Yeah, somebody's not loved.
	The cops can retaliate.
	Even though they're really great, it's very genteel of them.
	Oh, you don't want to see our...
	I'll be glad not to be here.
	Thank you very much.
	Social justice warrior cops?
	Are they like pussy cops?
	What is that?
	Yeah, that's what they want to believe, but that's not the case.
	The cops are going to start ticketing people.
	Ah, yeah.
	They'll have the retaliation.
	It's kind of a retaliation, but it's legal because, hey, it's legal for us not to go to your coffee shop.
	It's also legal for us to give a ticket to a guy that splits second, the meter goes red.
	Yeah.
	In fact, we'll assign a guy here just to watch these meters.
	That'll be doing you a favor.
	Just have them hanging out.
	I would not want to live in a cop-free zone.
	I don't think that's a good place to be.
	I think it's, you know, cop-free coffee shop.
	Just doesn't sound smart.
	It should be the name of the place.
	Cop-free!
	And with that, I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. U.S.C. stands for Cop Free Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	All of the morning in the morning to all the ships and sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the troll room, noagendastream.com, everybody there.
	Some just tuning in because I didn't promote the fact we were going an hour earlier for Gitmo Nation Lowlands and EU. But welcome.
	Anyway, it is a podcast.
	You can catch the first hour once we upload it.
	You can download it.
	That's right.
	I would like to also profusely thank Cesium137.
	He brought us the artwork for episode 1014.
	And the title of that was Rise of the Betas.
	And we like this.
	We were talking about making the UK just one big Amazon distribution hub.
	And everyone would have a job and they could shut up.
	It would be great for Brexit.
	And so he changed the Amazon logo from Amazon to Eumazon.
	And it looked good.
	Yes, and it looks believable.
	Because if you think about it, Amazon could be America AM America Zon.
	That's right.
	This is Eumazon.
	Yes.
	Love it.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	We appreciate all the work our artists do.
	We are probably just about the only podcast that consistently has new artwork for each individual show.
	And it is a producer skill that is, again, appreciated.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	So we start off...
	You have to get your pen out for this one.
	Oh, boy.
	Well, it's not that big of a deal.
	Sam Sealer in Sitting Boar in Kent, UK, $934.15.
	And he says, I've been drinking.
	He says he's been drinking all the time.
	Okay, always a good start.
	I've been drinking.
	It's supposed to be the numerical equivalent of penis.
	That number.
	What?
	Boo was better.
	Erg.
	NJNK is bullshit.
	Jingle request.
	Fletcher Putin and as many butt slams as you can deem appropriate.
	Also some thumb out of the arse karma if possible.
	Also, this donation makes me a knight.
	I request to be known as Sir Captain Xenophobia Hello Ladies.
	Now, this is where you need a pen.
	I'm sure he's listed.
	He says he doesn't want that title at all.
	He sobered up.
	Oh, okay.
	And sent an email in saying, if there's any way you can stop it, if there's any way to stop this crazy stupid knight name, do it.
	Regret?
	So we will change that to...
	What's it going to be?
	Just his name.
	Sir Sam?
	He can change it.
	Sir Sam, yeah.
	Okay.
	Sir Sam.
	That's good enough for me.
	And then he says, also, in the morning, also.
	And then there's nothing.
	Oh.
	Also.
	Well, maybe that's when the hair of the dog hit him.
	And he...
	Face planted.
	I don't have...
	Into the spaghetti.
	I don't have anything more either.
	Okay.
	Also.
	Yes, also.
	Great.
	So we'll give him his jingles.
	Okay.
	And he needed some karma with that as well, correct?
	Yes.
	Yeah, all right.
	Booter!
	Whoa!
	You got butt slam!
	Ho, ho, ho, ho!
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Gave him a little goat there.
	Cheer him up.
	Christopher Wilcox, also in the UK. So our top donors today, both of them were in the UK. But that's because we aimed it at the Mothering Day for people.
	Yes, we did.
	Mothering Day.
	Mothering Sunday, to be exact.
	Christopher Wilcox, $600.
	Oh yeah, I know what it did, because I regret it.
	Hold on a second.
	What are you looking for?
	Uh...
	Selix, the guy...
	No, that's David Roberts.
	Hold on.
	No, that's John Holland.
	Never mind.
	I'm holding on.
	Standing by.
	ITM Jets.
	Gents.
	Jets.
	Hello, Jets.
	Jets.
	ITM Jets.
	Checking my previous donations, which come to over $450.
	This takes me to knighthood.
	Please knight me a Sotopher of Torporli, a village in Cheshire.
	All right.
	The Topher, Topher, T-O-P-H-E-R, is a reference to the Netflix series The End of the F-ing World.
	Many thanks for all you do.
	Love the show.
	I don't agree with everything.
	Of course not.
	No, we don't want you to.
	That's the point, isn't it?
	Listen to every point of view and make your own mind up.
	And what you do has given me a fresh view.
	Well, you're welcome.
	NJNK for me.
	But one fuck cancer for our fellow knights, Sir Jeffrey of Camden.
	Diagnosed October 2016 with a very bad outlook.
	I got an F cancer via my previous donation and is still with us and doing well.
	A walking miracle.
	You need to know the rain stick is not the only thing that works.
	Keep up the good work.
	Please love you guys.
	And we do not question why it works.
	It just works.
	You've got karma. - Bye.
	Yay!
	And we have the Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest, which requires a jingle.
	Oh, I'm so...
	I was distracted because I realized I'm on my mobile rig, and it still has the old karma jingle there, or the old new one.
	The old new one.
	Yeah, you know what I mean?
	No.
	The one with the little, yay!
	That behind it.
	Oh, that one.
	Yeah, so I've got to swap that out.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest, Sir Dwayne Melanson.
	Woo-hoo!
	All right!
	$353 ITM and M5M353 donation.
	Ah!
	That's interesting.
	M5M353. That's a good one.
	I like that.
	Yeah, it is.
	Donation in return for your value.
	Have noted a lot of Oregon slash Pacific Northwest donations lately, which I'd like to hear in honor of the time change in the U.S. I'd love a Maxine Stay Woke.
	Resist We Much.
	No.
	Plus a service goat karma for all producers.
	Resist we much, yes, and service goats.
	My millennials, stay woke!
	Oh, that's the wrong one, but I do like this.
	We much.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	You've got...
	There we go.
	Done.
	Done and done.
	Sir David, Baron of Pennsylvania in Norristown.
	333.33.
	Dear John and Adam, most of my contributions to the show have been drunk donations and this one is no different.
	Regardless of that, the BPITU makes my life so much better during the 10 plus hours that I have to commute to work every week.
	Which is good, that's about right.
	I'm sure people have seen me laughing while driving down the I-95, but more importantly, the sanity you bring to the non-stop M5M news cycle is what keeps me from drinking more.
	Oh, good.
	The sound quality on the show is better than anything else on the, quote, on the air, and it's very entertaining to hear you both correct your verbal foibles.
	Awesome.
	Amazing.
	Right?
	Much love, sir.
	Okay?
	Yeah.
	Much love, Sir David, Baron of Pennsylvania.
	Mac and cheese plus lottery karma.
	P.S. If I win the lottery, over $1 million will be, at least we'll donate at least $10K to the show.
	Okay, that sounds good.
	Mac and Cheese by Ayn Rand.
	What?
	What was this?
	Dane's Night Slaves.
	Oh, shoot.
	See, now I changed the karma and I got the wrong one.
	I used the one with the little thing at the end.
	Okay, let me find it.
	Karma.
	I don't understand why...
	Okay, I'll put this one back in.
	You've got karma.
	Maybe it's special I don't know.
	Maybe it's good.
	It's actually funny.
	I think it's funny.
	Now that I know it's on there, I thought you did it live when I heard it because it sounds like you.
	I am that talented for sure, but no.
	Bob Sanderson in Annapolis, Maryland.
	333.33.
	Send a nice note in.
	Let me see if I can get the jingles off it before.
	Oh, please.
	Yes, please.
	Okay, he wants cruise missile sound effect.
	Yeah, I know what this is.
	We're all going to die and shut up, slave.
	Okay.
	With jobs karma.
	With jobs karma, no less.
	Okay.
	I had cruise missile.
	We're all going to die and...
	Shut up, slave.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Does he have something else in his note?
	Yeah, it's a long note.
	I prefaced the whole thing by saying that.
	All right.
	Here's my long overdue, it's also a long overdue donation.
	Aha!
	I supported the best podcast in the universe, which really should be called the best source of truth in the universe, in my humble opinion.
	I was hit in the mouth about two years ago by my former Navy Academy roommate, Bob Vogel.
	And I've listened to every episode since then.
	So I'm definitely due for a serious de-douching.
	Yes, you are, sir.
	You've been de-douched.
	Hopefully this donation will partially make up for my long-term neglect.
	After having listened to two of you deconstruct the media with laser-like precision and unabashed humor for the past two years, I've truly become much more aware of just how many agendas there are out there in the M5M land and it's very scary.
	Often I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at the insanity of Dimension B. Can these people really take themselves seriously?
	If only they could hear what they sound like to those of us in Dimension A. We might have a chance.
	Finally, as a former submariner, weapons officer, I appreciate your in-the-morning call-out to those of us who've served this great nation, especially the subs in the water.
	So thanks for your acknowledgments.
	This began with...
	Boots on the ground.
	It started with boots on the ground, didn't it?
	Well, it started with boots on the ground, and then somebody, some submariner like yourself, was a fan of the show, and they said that they were listening to the show in the sub.
	Yeah.
	And so he started adding that.
	Then I started questioning and saying, is this guy still even in the Navy, let alone in a sub, listening to the show?
	And we never heard back, so I assume he was a man overboard.
	Right.
	So it's not easy to do in a sub.
	No, just remember, it ain't gay if you're underway.
	So thanks for your acknowledgements.
	I just have the follow-up jingle request, plus a little jobs karma.
	We got him there.
	I look forward to hearing your expose of the hypocrisy of the M5M for many more years to come.
	So please continue to be our voice of sanity, Bob Sanderson.
	We're all going to die!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Shit!
	You've got karma.
	Ah!
	I found it.
	It's the good one.
	What'd you find?
	You found the right karma?
	The right karma.
	Yes, I found the right karma.
	Oh, without the...
	Yay!
	Correct.
	I should just drop it in myself.
	Okay.
	Dimitri Rabinovich 300.
	Bless me, podfathers, for I've douched.
	It's been two years since my last donation.
	Please...
	D-douche.
	D-douche this guy.
	You've been D-douched.
	He also needs some F-cancer karma for my ma, his mom, and general karma for all listeners.
	So that'll be at the end.
	You got it.
	My mom had her stomach removed due to gastric cancer and couldn't tolerate the chemo, which I was hoping she wouldn't choose to do anyways.
	Being a skeptical clinical pharmacist.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	You can't read it like that.
	It's not anyways.
	Just say anyways.
	He said anyways.
	I know, but you need to correct people.
	I don't know about that, because some people like to put any who and anyways, and that's their note, not mine.
	I mean, I do edit notes as I read sometimes to make it so it's more clear, but I don't find that particular usage anyways.
	I think it brings a certain lightheartedness that might be necessary.
	Maybe he was doing it on purpose.
	Well, I would hope so.
	Mm-hmm.
	Being a skeptical clinical pharmacist, this is interesting.
	This is great.
	I've done some research and have her on a very high dose regimen of CBD oil.
	There are published peer-reviewed studies out there that show that CBD, to be effective even at the five...
	Fluoracil-resistant strains of gastric cancer, 5-FU, we don't know what this is, anything.
	We don't know anything about this.
	Is the drug of choice in treating this.
	Being a good Christian lady from the USSR, my mother can't stand the sensation of being stoned.
	So I had to obtain the non-THC stuff.
	Big ups to lavender blossom and the populum CBD. I will mention something here, and this is, of course, all folklore and there's not any...
	Proof that I know of.
	Maybe there is.
	I do have two clips for later about this very topic, actually.
	Okay, before I finish the note, I'll just mention what I keep being told by these guys who sell this stuff, is that the CBD works much better in combination with THC. Right.
	That's what I've heard, too.
	Now, that could be bullshit, but why would anybody...
	These guys are selling this stuff.
	They're not making any more money because it's got THC, and they're probably less.
	Yeah, the extraction is more expensive, I believe.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, side note, he says.
	Now, this is very educational.
	This is one of the little benefits of listening to No Agenda.
	Fentanyl and its modified siblings, sufenatil, alfenatil, Remaphenatil are commonly used agents in the hospital setting.
	They are extremely useful for anesthesia and pain relief during surgical procedures.
	The reason that they are preferred to morphine or other more natural agents is that they have a very predictable onset and depending on the agent, a short duration of action.
	If a patient comes in for a very painful surgical procedure that only lasts 20 minutes, the anesthesia An anesthesiologist will administer something like remifentanil because it kicks in after 90 seconds and wears off in 1 to 5 minutes.
	We don't want patients hanging out after procedures, intubated and on respirators because they get a dose of morphine or hydromorphine, which takes much longer to wear off.
	Patients stop breathing for themselves when they get surgical doses of pain meds.
	Thanks for the tasty dose of enlightenment twice a week.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Thank you for your support of the show.
	and here's for your mom.
	You've got karma.
	We hear it works.
	Charles Bennett, $250.
	Now, I have to kind of hold up here.
	I usually do this before.
	I don't know why I missed this one.
	I know.
	Because you did all your prep last night.
	Out of order.
	Out of sequence.
	You're confused.
	Maybe.
	Melissa, there's a Bennett email in the email.
	Because I'll bet you there is.
	What is his first name?
	Charles.
	Charles Bennett.
	P-E-N-N-E-T-T. Megan and Corey.
	I can take a look at my emails for a second.
	Let me see if I have anything.
	I don't recall anything coming in from him.
	No, it might be an obscure email that we don't have.
	Charles, you can send us a note again, and then I'll try to push it into the next show.
	But anyway, $250.
	Thank you very much.
	Patrick Comer, $250.
	He says, just wanted to give you my value for value contribution to the show.
	I'm answering the calls from early in the month where John was complaining about how low donations were.
	It took me a few weeks to get with the program, but here you go.
	I thought the analysis you provided on the California politicians lining their pockets by buying up real estate in the areas where the bullet train would be built was, full caps, excellent!
	Keep up the good work and play the jingle, please.
	Al Sharpton compilation of screw-up clips.
	Well, that would be Al versus the teleprompter.
	We've played one and three, I think.
	So let's see if we can...
	Well, let's try this one.
	And does he want a karma with that, or is this all he wants?
	I think I'd give him one.
	Thanks to you, Ed.
	Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
	We are watching That Was Attorney General Eric Holder's ABDs about some Republicans at home are already beating the drums of war.
	Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.
	And he said the American people do not want him to, quote, They do not want him dwindling his thoughts.
	You can get a gig as a contortionist.
	Intravenous fluids and pills coated with gelatin.
	We don't leave our women open.
	All women are men in uniform behind.
	It's a monument to the hubris of Dick Cheney.
	Representative Raul Ara Labrador.
	Years of abuse.
	I personally apologize to Mr.
	Peebus.
	Just ask.
	Soon-to-be former congressman.
	Democrats are outright jitty.
	CIA's counter-terrorism center.
	Veteran Affairs Secretary Shinsketti.
	Why do I always mess up his name?
	Shinsketti.
	I love my critics and have fun with that.
	You've got karma.
	We're getting jitty-witted, baby!
	Unbelievable.
	The Pentagon.
	That's actually pretty good.
	He was one of the leading voices on MSNBC. And he makes millions of dollars.
	Millions.
	Millions.
	Baron Greg and Baroness Kathy Siminich in West Chicago.
	Send a note in.
	Very nice note, I might say.
	Counter-tourism, everybody.
	My guy is sending...
	Counter-tourism.
	That's what we're doing in North Korea.
	Sending some cash after a heavy tithing season.
	We still listen twice a week and are looking forward to the episodes as the shit hits the fan as the year continues.
	We'll take any combo of two Reverend Manning clips.
	Oh.
	He's the man.
	Greg and Kathy Semenich.
	John Munich.
	It's Munich.
	Ah.
	It's Simunich.
	It's Simunich.
	Okay.
	It's Simunich.
	All right.
	Greg and Kathy Simunich.
	I keep saying Simunich, yeah, I guess.
	Like the German city with an S-I in front.
	Simunich.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for the tip on how to pronounce your name.
	I'll probably blow it again next time, but Adam will remember because he likes to chide me about these things.
	That's okay.
	That's good.
	I don't mind being chided.
	That's all they got?
	It's a Munich.
	Okay, go.
	That's a show of money shot!
	Woo, Jesus!
	Woo, Lord!
	Look at that!
	That's a money shot!
	Ted Ann Conway is a money shot!
	Otherwise, you're going to have a flame coming out of your butthole!
	Preacher, you won't be able to sit down!
	Preacher!
	You've got karma.
	Another gem.
	Another gem.
	Sir Nick of the Southside, $203.56.
	Greetings, gents.
	This show has been great lately.
	The donation makes me a baron.
	I'd like to claim the D.C. metro area and be known as the baron of the DMV. Oh, I like it.
	I would like karma for travel and gambling for the show and producers.
	Oh, okay.
	Sir Nick of the Southside.
	You got it.
	Here's some coinage for your gambling karma.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Benonymous of the 1.5x playback, $200.33.
	Now, this is important because, you know, and especially people who are wondering what this karma business is that we do, which we didn't come up with.
	Our producers started asking for it.
	We didn't make the jingle.
	Our producers made the jingle.
	This karma thing somehow seems to work.
	Last Sunday, I finally made a long overdue donation and became an instantite on my birthday and asked for no jingles, no karma.
	However much appreciated karma came my way.
	Monday morning, my boss handed me an unexpected bonus check.
	I would like to give back to the show and return the value for value by donating 33%, rounded up to the nearest 33 cents.
	Please accept my donation of $200.33.
	Continue the great work.
	Thank you very much.
	He sent another note in that was talking about his 1.5.
	He said he thinks he genuinely had attention deficit disorder.
	ADHD. Yeah, and he said he needs the speed up so he can stay focused on the show.
	Otherwise, he says he'll drift away.
	Oh, that was him, yeah?
	Okay.
	Well, good.
	I'm pretty sure that's him.
	Michael Hager, $200.
	Best podcast in the universe.
	Hell yeah.
	Give him some gratuitous karma, please.
	You've got karma.
	Now, I normally don't do this, or we normally don't do this, but I want to read Amanda Monroe, who I'm going to skip her in the second segment and read her.
	Now, she came in with $150 from Marionette, Wisconsin.
	Okay.
	She wonders why she doesn't mention.
	Because her note is so interesting.
	In the morning, good sirs.
	And by the way, she has writing that's very distinctive.
	Isn't this where you say, I'm not in uniform, don't call me sir?
	She said, good sirs.
	Oh.
	I never said I'm not in uniform.
	I said I'm not an officer.
	Oh, okay.
	I hope this letter finds you both well.
	My husband, Justin, and I both love the show and love talking about it after long days at work.
	I must confess...
	By the way, I like the idea that people talk about the show.
	Yeah, with their spouse.
	I don't know if everybody does that.
	With their spouse.
	Yeah, with their spouse.
	That is nice.
	What do you think those two guys were talking about when they said...
	Yeah, what do you think of what the boys did?
	The boys...
	You guys.
	I must confess, though, that we were both douchebags and have never donated.
	Today that changes.
	Uh-oh.
	The enclosed donation is a surprise birthday donation.
	You have to write this on another thing.
	You have to pan out.
	I got the pan.
	A surprise birthday donation in Justin's name.
	Happy birthday, boo-boo.
	Okay, hold on.
	From who?
	Who is this from?
	This is from Amanda.
	Amanda Monroe.
	Amanda.
	Okay.
	And she wishes happy birthday to Boo Boo.
	Boo Boo.
	Yeah.
	And do we have an age?
	He'll be 32 on March 12th.
	On the 12th.
	An old man, according to him.
	Whoa.
	We both look forward to many more shows and hope to reach Night Dame Hood.
	Keep up the great work and have a wonderful week.
	Anyway, I just thought that was a cute name.
	Oh, that's very cute.
	I'm going to give her a karma.
	Oh, wait.
	De-douching first.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	Beautiful.
	She wants to hear one of these days, the babies and cows.
	Oh, well, I'm sorry.
	It's not that hard to do.
	It's a real quickie.
	My God, for 25 years, they've been growing babies and cows!
	It's one of our favorites, too.
	It is a winner.
	Amanda, thank you.
	Yeah, I thought it was a sweet note.
	It is.
	So, onward.
	I want to thank all these folks who are contributing and producing show 10, what is it?
	10, 15.
	10, 15.
	Yeah, this is our value for value model.
	No advertising, no corporate money.
	We ask you what you think it was worth.
	And it's surprising sometimes what you feel about that.
	And that makes us feel good no matter what.
	Even at $5.
	Yeah, we like hearing from the wide-ranging people that listen to, we have no demo requirements.
	So we don't target the show to a specific audience so we can tell the advertisers, oh yeah, we've got all these people from 19 to 40.
	We've got the 1824s.
	1824, baby.
	We've got the hot sweet spot.
	We've got that nailed.
	Yes, that's it.
	Advertise with us.
	We need some pharma products.
	No.
	No, we don't do that.
	Because that's one of the things that the general public, I don't think, appreciates...
	That these shows, like when you turn on a show, I was watching something the other day, it was some comedy, or not a comedy, kind of a quasi-comedy, Life in Pieces.
	And I'm watching it.
	It's a very good, very strangely structured show, and it has, I think, probably very difficult to write for because you have to keep these segments short.
	But then I said, every commercial was for some, you're going to be dropping dead tomorrow, so take this pill, it'll make you live an extra month.
	And I was going, jeez, who watches this show?
	Because it's obviously targeting these people.
	I figured it out.
	We've got the woke demo, John.
	That's what we got, baby.
	Well, we want to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	Just like Hollywood, these are actual credits you can use anywhere.
	You can proudly display it on your LinkedIn page.
	People seem to get work from it.
	We don't have the real typical Hollywood benefits of being an executive producer when you come in with financing, like some actresses to bang and stuff and some blow.
	And by the way, those benefits are going by the wayside the way I see things.
	That's right.
	It's not happening anymore.
	That's a hashtag me too.
	Screwing the pooch.
	Yep.
	We will have another show on Thursday, and I will be back at home base in FEMA Region 6.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org.
	And now that you know you're in the woke demo, go out there, propagate our formula!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water. Order.
	Shut up, flame.
	Shut up, slave!
	Got a couple of quick observations while I'm here.
	Some things that I just noticed.
	I'm in an Airbnb.
	Actually, it's not an Airbnb.
	It's a BNB. A proper bed and breakfast with a really beautiful breakfast.
	It was done by the owner.
	And so it's an old house, and it has one of those old Dutch toilets that I think I've mentioned it before on the show.
	Is that the thing way up in the air?
	It has the reservoir way up in the air, so it uses real gravity, big-ass gravity.
	But it needs that because it's one of those typical old Dutch toilets that has the shelf.
	And for people who don't know, the main Dutch toilet maker, back in the day, started making them mainly for hospitals.
	And there's a shelf, so when you poop, then your poop stays on the shelf so it can be examined.
	And no one ever thought, that's kind of disgusting for the home.
	And they just, oh, we'll just use the hospital toilets.
	And so...
	You know, it's kind of weird when you sit there and go, shit, man, my poop is on the shelf.
	And that's why you need the extra gravity.
	Poop is on the shelf.
	In some places, it hits the fan.
	In the Netherlands, it's on the shelf.
	That's how it goes.
	I think I mentioned at the top of the show that it's been really fun talking to the millennials here.
	They don't see Trump necessarily in the same light you'd think that they would.
	Like, crazy mofo, especially this North Korea thing.
	It seems like, oh, that's interesting.
	They're not buying into the bull crap, which is at least not the woke ones, I guess.
	I've only dealt with wokeers.
	From day one have prided themselves, not with the news cycle so much, but with advertising that they're They're immune.
	I remember hearing this when the kids were really young.
	Oh, we're immune to advertising.
	And in fact, the millennials are not immune to advertising.
	They're immune to old-fashioned advertising.
	Right.
	But they're suckers for the modern advertising where, you know, everything is small batch.
	Yep.
	You know, handcrafted.
	Grandma's recipe.
	And by the way, everything is more expensive.
	So they're spending more money.
	Yep.
	Instead of buying some reasonably good canned beans from S&W, let's say.
	Come on, John.
	All you need to say is two words.
	Avocado toast.
	Avocado toast.
	Yes, exactly.
	For $16.
	They are such suckers for overpriced stuff that is no better than anything else out there.
	Many times, for example...
	There's a couple pickle factories, millennial pickle places, one in Berkeley, and they make these pickles as traditional fermented cucumber type pickle.
	Yeah, it's a semi-rotting cucumber.
	Yeah, and they're usually, they have a delicious flavor.
	There's a certain flavor you look for and they have it.
	It's delicious.
	Ten bucks a pound for these rotting cucumbers.
	Oh, you don't know.
	Okay, go ahead.
	I have a pickle.
	You can top me after I'm done.
	I think I can top you.
	I'm sure you can.
	So meanwhile, I go to a Polish deli out on Geary Street, which makes their own pickles and makes their own sauerkraut.
	And when they have it, it sells out rather quickly.
	The pickles are identical.
	They're made the same way as the ones in Berkeley.
	But instead of $10 a pound, the Polish deli has them for $3 a pound.
	$3.50 maybe.
	I'm going to have to top you.
	And so I'm thinking to myself, what is, you know, what?
	Get a clue, people.
	This stuff is not, you know...
	Anyway, go on.
	Top me.
	In Austin, we have a downtown...
	As it were.
	I mean, you might want to rephrase that.
	In Austin, we have a downtown grocery chain.
	We have, I think, five of them now in all of downtown Austin called Blue Grocery.
	I call it Grosser Blue because I can never remember anything.
	And they sell products for people who need to get something fast, you know, downtown.
	You can buy some produce and it's obviously expensive.
	They have a section of some cheeses and meats and there is, I kid you not, there is a pickle, one dill pickle in a bag, in a sealed bag for eight dollars.
	One pickle.
	One.
	And I bought that pickle only to have Tina, like, you know, rip me a new one.
	What are you doing?
	Eight bucks for a pickle?
	That's ridiculous.
	Now, so as I'm talking to the, and I affectionately call them the kids, you know, we're just talking about stuff, and I realize that they've never heard of George Carlin.
	It's like, oh my god.
	And it was kind of refreshing to think about some of these great things that...
	And he's always been, I would say, a personal hero in a way.
	He's influenced my thinking quite a bit.
	And I found this YouTube channel last night because I wanted to send them an example.
	I wanted to send them the who's the true owners of the country video.
	And I came across something else which I could not remember.
	And all of a sudden it hit me.
	This is...
	For President Trump, he can make such a huge impact on the country, for his own image.
	He can do something so spectacular.
	And he is uniquely positioned to end homelessness.
	Which is one of my pet peeves.
	I'm very tired of all the things we're doing for other people, other countries, animals, everything before we look at the homeless situation, whereas Carlin calls it houselessness, because that's really what people are experiencing.
	They have no house.
	Not homeless, it's houseless.
	And there is, he, in one of his, I don't know when this was, it must be, how long has he been dead?
	A good seven years?
	Ten years at least.
	Something like that.
	And he has, of course, he didn't know about Trump, didn't know about any of this, but he came up with The idea, the ultimate idea for solving homelessness in the United States, and I am going to give this a name because we can put this through Congress, it could become a bill, and it would work.
	I'm calling it the Trump-Carlin Golf Course Act.
	I got just the place for low-cost housing.
	I have solved this problem.
	I know where we can build housing for the homeless.
	Golf courses.
	Yeah!
	Perfect golf courses.
	Just what we need.
	Plenty of good land in nice neighborhoods.
	Land that is currently being wasted on a meaningless, mindless activity.
	Engaged in primarily by white, well-to-do male businessmen who use the game to get together to make deals to carve this country up a little finer among themselves.
	I am getting tired.
	Really tired.
	I am getting tired of these golfing cocksuckers in their green pants and their yellow pants and their orange pants and their precious little hats and their cute little golf carts.
	It is time to reclaim the golf courses from the wealthy and turn them over the homeless.
	Golf is an arrogant, elitist game and it takes up entirely too much fucking room in this country.
	Too much fucking room in this country.
	It is an arrogant game on its very design alone.
	Just the design of the game speaks of arrogance.
	Think of how big a golf course is.
	The ball is that fucking big!
	What do these pinheaded pricks need with all that land?
	There are over 17,000 golf courses in America.
	They average over 150 acres apiece.
	That's over 3 million acres.
	That's 4,820 square miles.
	You could build two Rhode Islands and a Delaware for the homeless on the land currently devoted to this meaningless, mindless, arrogant, elitist, racist.
	Racist.
	There's another thing.
	The only blacks you'll find in country clubs are carrying trays.
	And a boring game for boring people.
	Did you ever watch golf on television?
	It's like watching flies.
	Fuck!
	You know, he's got golf courses.
	He could start it off.
	Yeah, that's going to happen.
	This is that era...
	Carlin died in 2008.
	This is during that era where Carlin was really...
	He was liberal.
	He was at a moment for about a year or two where he was just angry.
	Really, really angry.
	I think it's when he's doing a lot of coke.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, I think so.
	I read his books.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, I'm glad for that.
	I'm glad you played that little bit.
	Well, I actually have a better idea, which is only 27 seconds.
	This is the real idea.
	Hey, here's another place we could put some low-cost housing.
	Militaries.
	There's another idea whose time has passed.
	Saving all the dead people in one part of town?
	What the hell kind of a superstitious religious medieval bullshit idea is that?
	Plow these motherfuckers up.
	Plow them into the streams and rivers of America.
	We need that phosphorus for farming.
	If we're going to recycle, let's get serious.
	I'm sorry.
	I just thought it was funny.
	I don't think I've ever heard that bit.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'll send you, I have the...
	Of course you do.
	You have the entire collection, don't you?
	You've got everything.
	I have the discography, that's what it's called.
	Please, I'd love that.
	Oh, okay, I'll just put it on a thumb drive for you.
	Tina and I will drop some E and listen to George.
	Drop some E. Maybe not.
	It's more than you think, by the way.
	Well, Carlin's discography, I'm sure, is huge, yeah.
	Huge.
	Huge.
	Well, as a good transition here, there's a new drug that sounds to me like the new suicide pill.
	I've never heard this before.
	It's got the worst side effects.
	It's almost like it's Shantex meets Ambien meets three or four other drugs.
	It just sounds horrible.
	And of course, that results means you have to have a one and a half minute commercial.
	Oh yes, for all the disclaimer.
	All the disclaimers.
	And let's play it.
	It's Balsamra, I think.
	Balsamra, Samra.
	Despite all of the things you do to get a good night's sleep, it can feel as if they get undone.
	While you lie there, restless.
	Sound familiar?
	Maybe you should talk to your doctor about Balsamra, a prescription medicine for adults with insomnia who have trouble falling or staying asleep.
	Balsamra is an FDA-approved sleep aid that works differently because it targets and inhibits the action of orexin, a neurotransmitter in your brain that is believed to play a central role in keeping you awake.
	In clinical studies versus placebo, Balsamra helped patients fall asleep faster and sleep more throughout the night.
	Do not take Balsamra if you have narcolepsy.
	When taking Balsamra, don't drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully awake.
	Walking, eating, driving, or engaging in other activities while asleep without remembering it the next day have been reported.
	Balsama should not be taken together with alcohol.
	Abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, confusion, agitation, or hallucinations.
	The temporary inability to move or talk, known as sleep paralysis, for up to several minutes while you are going to sleep or waking up and temporary leg weakness have also been reported.
	In depressed patients, worsening depression, including risk of suicide, may occur.
	Alcohol may increase these risks.
	Side effects include next-day drowsiness.
	So if you're looking to get more sleep, keep doing the things that help.
	But also, talk to your doctor about Balsamra.
	You know, I just realized what we need to do.
	By the way, that's a great one.
	I'm going to give you actually...
	I think you need a borderline for that, because that was dynamite.
	I'll take it.
	So I know what to do.
	First of all, this is an SSRI. It's a serotonin inhibitor.
	So it is a psychotropic drug, which is just now we're off the deep end.
	We're trying to go to sleep with these things.
	But you might be walking around.
	You might be sleepwalking and driving.
	So there needs to be a legal requirement, a legal disclaimer addition.
	Because they say, don't operate heavy machinery, don't drive.
	Didn't they say, don't walk?
	I think that was in there as well.
	Don't walk.
	You can't walk.
	They need to add, you should not operate firearms.
	It would be a simple thing to add, and it would alert people to the true issue that we have.
	Oh, that's funny.
	It's not a bad idea.
	I mean, dream on.
	I get it.
	Digging up the golf courses has more of a chance than that.
	So, no.
	I just thought it was like, why are you giving people these drugs?
	If you're driving around unknowingly, or driving while asleep...
	I think I had that Uber driver.
	It's unbelievable why these things would be allowed to be sold at all, let alone ask for it.
	Yeah, that drug sounds like just what I'm looking for.
	Woohoo!
	Yes.
	Can you guarantee hallucinations?
	I'm in.
	Hey, I think I've just changed it.
	Tina and I are going to drop some Balsomra and listen to George Carlin.
	Dang.
	We've gone crazy in America with this.
	We've got to stop that.
	But only we can discuss this.
	You won't hear this on the M5M because they're paid by them.
	Look at the ads.
	Yes, true.
	We're the only ones who can discuss it.
	Just look at the ads.
	Exactly.
	So I have a series of clips if you want to hear them.
	They end and then you can stop it.
	You know the CIA guy that John Kiriakou, he's the guy who broke, busted.
	He got thrown in jail.
	Well, yeah, he got thrown in jail.
	He's the one who busted the CIA torture program.
	And he was a CIA guy, you know, and he's doing his job, and it was illegal, and so they threw him in jail.
	But he has a very funny story, because apparently I think they tried to kill him, make it look like an accident, and then it didn't work.
	But I do have a finale to these three clips.
	Let's start with John Kiriakou Part one.
	Okay.
	We're talking to John Kiriakou, the whistleblower for the CIA who exposed CIA torture programs and went to jail for it, as we typically see.
	Nobody who actually did the torture, who designed the torture, who made millions of dollars from teaching people about how to torture.
	Nothing happened to any of those people.
	Who is this?
	That's that guy who shows up on InfoWars.
	Oh, David Knight.
	I thought I recognized him.
	Yeah, I think he's excellent.
	He's a nice guy, too.
	I've met him.
	Very nice guy.
	Yeah, he looks like a nice guy.
	As we were talking about in the last segment, the people who presided over him.
	Wait a minute.
	Are you turning this into a conspiracy tinfoil hat show playing InfoWars?
	Well, I didn't mention it.
	You did.
	Okay.
	That, like John Brennan, are now the elder statesmen of the intelligence community, going on one political talk show after the other, pontificating about what should happen to President Trump.
	But I want to talk to John now about the serious motorcycle accident that you had.
	What was it, the end of October that you had that accident?
	The beginning of October.
	Right.
	Wow.
	Yeah, it was a very serious accident.
	I didn't realize.
	I heard you were in an accident.
	I just got the article here from Jennifer.
	You had six broken ribs, a broken clavicle, fractured vertebrae.
	I mean, this is very serious stuff.
	You had a port installed in your neck.
	How are you feeling?
	I still feel pretty banged up.
	In fact, I'm going to have to have another follow-up surgery next week to put a titanium plate and four screws in my clavicle here to try to hold it all together.
	And you had an editorial saying, yes, the deep state did not cause my motorcycle accident, but it does in fact exist.
	A lot of people were saying, oh, is this an assassination attempt?
	And that's the rumor that got around.
	And the reason there was a rumor that this was an assassination attempt is because there was no police report.
	Even though the police came, the ambulance came, the fire department came, there was a woman who was helping me.
	I was laying in the middle of Connecticut Avenue, and a woman was holding my hand asking me, what's your name?
	Do you know what day it is?
	Do you know who the president is?
	That kind of thing.
	And thank God I was wearing a helmet.
	But she said that the man that I was in the accident with had continued to drive up to the end of the block, and then he just stopped, and the police were questioning him, and then the police told him to just drive away.
	And she said, oh, my gosh, the police just told him to drive away, and he got in his car and left.
	Well, I had other things on my mind at that moment.
	But then a couple of days later, when Newsweek called, they wanted to know why there was no police report.
	And when they called the Washington police, they were told that they had no evidence that an accident had ever taken place.
	Okie doke.
	I don't know if there's anything I wanted to discuss in this part one, but go to part two and we'll let it continue.
	That an accident had ever taken place.
	And so I said, I can't imagine this was an assassination attempt.
	There were so many moving parts, it would have been virtually impossible.
	But...
	The way things work in the intelligence community is if you are working in the United States on a clandestine operation and you get into an accident, you get a speeding ticket, something happens.
	You carry what's euphemistically called a get-out-of-jail-free card.
	And what that is is a business card with a phone number on it.
	You ask the police to call this number.
	It rings at the CIA or NSA or the FBI or whoever you belong to.
	And they say, Please let this person go and don't make a written record of whatever happened.
	And I think that's what happened.
	I think I inadvertently disturbed an ongoing clandestine operation by getting into a crash with this guy.
	And he explained to the cops, I'm on a secret mission.
	I need to get going.
	And the cops told him to go ahead and go.
	Because that is in D.C. after all.
	I mean, that's probably canceling a dead cat.
	Somebody works for the government at the C.I.A. That's amazing.
	Well, you know, we're very concerned about that when I heard it, and I didn't hear it for some time.
	And immediately, my mind went back to Michael Hastings and what happened in that particular instance.
	And I remember when it first came out, and I looked at the accident, and I didn't even know that he'd been contacting people and saying, I've got to get out of town.
	I'm doing something.
	The CIA or the FBI is after me and so forth.
	He'd made all these different...
	I don't know.
	Yeah, when his Porsche crashed into a tree.
	I think it was a Mercedes.
	I think I thought it was a Porsche.
	Oh, now we have to, well, we can figure it.
	I don't know if it's in the wiki.
	But I think it was a Mercedes convertible, little one.
	I think.
	I could be wrong.
	But I don't think it was a Porsche.
	Because, no, it definitely wasn't a Porsche.
	No, it definitely wasn't a Porsche because the engine was in the front and Porsches have no front engine cars.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	In fact, if you listen to the next part of the next clip...
	You're right.
	You're right.
	It was a Mercedes.
	I stand corrected.
	Are you standing or sitting?
	Just sitting, but I stand.
	Well, you're sitting corrected.
	Okay.
	Clip three.
	Now, he said, yeah, before you do that, though, it's like...
	The engine actually left the car.
	Do you remember that?
	The engine ejected out of the whole chassis.
	Yeah, that's what he talks about in the next clip that he's discussing it.
	But I'm not buying any of his own rationale.
	It was an assassination attempt and that's why the guy did go away because he stumbled on some clandestine thing that almost got him killed.
	Are you kidding me?
	He would be dead.
	And the...
	Well, I'm surprised that woman that came over was probably going to shoot him in the head, but then someone else showed up, and that was the end of it, right?
	Foiled again.
	Rats.
	Now, my thinking is the following.
	If you go to Kiriakis' website, he's kind of changed what he discusses and what he talks about.
	I think somebody just told him, hey...
	You can knock this off and go do something else.
	We're not going to do anything but just...
	And now he's talking about reforming the justice system.
	Changed his whole orientation.
	He's batting for the other team now, maybe.
	Maybe.
	It could be.
	Maybe.
	I don't think he would do that, but he's definitely not his old self.
	I think this was a warning.
	It's a shot across the bow.
	But listen to part three, and there's a little tidbit in here that I want to discuss.
	But I was looking at it, and I just thought it was odd.
	That the motor of his car was ejected down the street 100 yards, which is very unusual, when his car went into a tree, and it really wasn't crumpled very badly, and it was on fire.
	And fires typically happen if you have a rear-end collision, and you typically would not have an engine ejected at a right angle 100 yards down unless there was some kind of explosion in the car.
	So I thought that was suspicious, and then all the stuff came out about the fact that he was investigating people and he was on the run.
	I had the same questions about Michael Hastings, and I was surprised that his family had come out and asked people to stop speculating.
	The family really was urging people not to investigate this.
	I kind of wondered if they had been threatened or if somebody had said something to them.
	Now, in my case, David, I wear my politics on my sleeve.
	The CIA and the FBI know where I live.
	They know where I work.
	They know what my phone number is.
	If they wanted to get me, I think they would have got me, and they probably would have got me in prison.
	Why the FBI when it was the CIA that he pissed off?
	Well, don't know.
	But there was something in there that got my attention, which was the exact phrasing of the family urging people not to investigate.
	Where have we heard that phrase before about what other dead guy in Washington, D.C. that was working for the Clinton campaign?
	Oh, Seth Rich.
	Yeah.
	Huh.
	Exactly the same phenomenon.
	Don't investigate.
	I don't know why they...
	Stop looking into it!
	Hmm.
	Apparently that's what the Hastings family started saying.
	No, no, no, no, stop.
	Now...
	The argument would be, first look, you'd say, well, they've threatened them.
	They've threatened the family.
	They've threatened Hastings' family, now Rich's family.
	We don't know what the story is.
	It's only speculation.
	We have the theory that Rich was the guy who gave money to the WikiLeaks, and that was kind of, it was never confirmed by Assange, but Assange gave like 10 grand to the...
	Yeah, to find the real killer, the murderer.
	Well, that and for his funeral.
	I don't believe that it was threats at all.
	I think government black money, they come up and say, here, this wasn't meant to happen this way.
	Here's 5 million bucks.
	You've got to not talk about it.
	And here you have to sign this.
	That's what happened.
	Hmm.
	Now, the only way to prove this is speculation, of course.
	But the way to prove it, of course, you get a hold of bank accounts and all of a sudden a bunch of money showed up or maybe they're getting a stipend.
	Who knows?
	But that's the way you do it.
	You want to shut somebody up?
	You do it the American way.
	Yeah.
	You know all the victims of the, air quotes, victims of the Vegas massacre?
	All of the 58 victims' families received $275,000 from that big GoFundMe thing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, I just thought that was a very interesting little thing.
	I think they tried to kill him or whatever during that.
	Well, I can make a prediction because I would up the ante.
	First of all, there is a Porsche with a front engine.
	That's the Cayenne.
	The Porsche Cayenne has the engine in the front.
	Does?
	Yes, sir.
	I mean, yes.
	It does.
	Yes, sir.
	It does.
	It is a bad habit.
	It's a hatchback.
	It's a hatchback.
	But second of all...
	Oh, the hatchback.
	You're talking about the big...
	Cayenne.
	Yeah, they can pull 7,000 pounds.
	Yes, you're right.
	You're right.
	But he wasn't driving a minivan.
	No, I hear you.
	But how about this for an idea?
	To up their game, because it's messy, you know, doing it with cars, doing it on the street, it's messy.
	I think exploding cell phone is the next way to go.
	Hmm.
	Well, we've been primed for it.
	That's why.
	That's why it's perfect.
	Maybe we've been primed for it for a reason.
	Or an exploding Tesla.
	Yeah, you have to assume somebody has a Tesla.
	Exploding Tesla would work.
	Well, they've not exploded yet, but a cell phone, yeah.
	Cell phones are like exploding cell phones.
	It's just a thought.
	There's an odd meme going around the interwebs, and what it has done is...
	It's just a little bit in a cell phone.
	You need the detonator.
	Well, the cell phone is the detonator.
	What do you mean?
	It's the terrorist detonator of choice.
	You call it, you text it, put a little app on there, modify an app.
	If you get a WhatsApp message from X, Y, or Z, click.
	Ma'am, they should be hiring the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group for these assassinations.
	We know what's up.
	And you were saying?
	There's an odd meme going around.
	And because of this meme, an old video has resurfaced.
	Now the meme is, there is a video of Bill and Hillary Clinton having sex at the same time with a woman.
	I think this is a bogus thing.
	I do have the clip of it.
	You got Max Clifford?
	Yeah, I got the clip.
	I only have the part where he talks about that.
	Shagging the same woman as the clip.
	Well, let me just say, well, I have the clip too.
	But Max Clifford, and this was from 2008, this is when Max Clifford was at the height of his power.
	He was a very powerful PR agent in the UK. So this is not a recent video, it's an old video.
	Didn't he do Mosley, the Formula One guy, when the pictures came out of him being dressed as a Nazi in an S&M cellar somewhere doing some crazy, wacky sex stuff?
	Clifford would take care of...
	Well, I'll play it anyway, just so people can hear what he was saying.
	You know, we could make a sensational...
	We could make a sensational program.
	Just on 10% of the things I've stopped.
	Yeah, here's a video of Bill Clinton and Hillary, both shagging the same woman.
	I'm sure people would like to see it.
	You allude to so many great stories in your back.
	Because they're the ones I've stopped.
	Dozens of them like that I've stopped.
	They've got to keep pushing and pushing and pushing.
	Dustin Hoffman paid me a fortune for years because he gets off and groping in a back row of a cinema where his movies are on.
	So when he goes to the cinema, he's surrounded by my theatre company, which means no one can see what he's doing.
	And he doesn't know that it's my theatre company that's surrounding him.
	And that went on for ten years.
	Because as a young bloke, he never did that.
	And all his mates were groping and snubbing in the background, doing all...
	He was an ugly little son.
	No one wanted to know.
	So that's why I played my version of the clip, because I think it's a payload.
	I think the I think it's set up.
	It's exactly the same as mine.
	OK, exactly.
	Well, then it's the the vehicle is Bill and Hillary shagging the same chick.
	But the payload is Dustin Hoffman, who is a little fiddler in the theater.
	Yeah, when he's surrounded by this guy's bodyguards or some equivalencies.
	Yes.
	And I think that's why it's a meme.
	Well, I found the whole thing to be just some guy rambling on about his old stories, and I'm not even sure that the soundtrack was him, because at the same time, it's almost like, here's what he was saying, and then at the same time comes out all this stuff about deepfake.
	And...
	I'm sorry, deepfake?
	What?
	Yeah, well, deepfake is the big thing going on right now.
	Oh, I don't know about this.
	Ah, well, good.
	Well, here's one of the...
	There's two or three reports.
	I recorded this one because it kind of discusses the whole situation.
	At the dinner table, we talk about this quite a bit because JC knows everything about it.
	And he's been involved in a couple of the groups that work on creating some of these things.
	He's never done one, but he's...
	It's been running for seven days.
	These programs take forever to run.
	But play deepfake and we'll catch up with this.
	Forget the idea of saving.
	New technology is making digital media manipulation easier than ever.
	The result, phony videos that are popping up online.
	CBS 2's Natalie Dudridge has the story.
	You may have seen this video circulating the internet, ostensibly of former President Obama delivering a speech that he never actually made.
	It's part of an online video trend called Deep Fake, and it's hard to tell what's real and what's not.
	It's very concerning because as people get better with this software, they will be able to not just put celebrities, they will be able to put, like, their neighbor, you know, in a video and compromising that person.
	Pereira is the vice president of a cybersecurity firm.
	He says in recent months, the video started appearing on an online forum called Reddit, created by a program called Fake App.
	It superimposes videos like this, of actor Nicolas Cage's face on another character's body.
	And they break your face down into smaller and smaller pieces, and then overlay the...
	The picture you want, like a Nicolas Cage's photograph, on top of that...
	Until recently, the artificial intelligence video technology was only used by major Hollywood productions.
	But social media apps like Snapchat have made this face-morphing technology all too easy.
	Tech experts are worried it could have serious moral implications, like framing people for crimes, or most recently putting celebrities' faces on X-rated actors.
	If they're putting it on like porn stars or something, you know, that could be detrimental to some people's careers.
	In general, with technology, it just kind of like freaks me out.
	Reddit took steps to ban a number of deepfake groups that had tens of thousands of members.
	But tech experts say people are still accessing the tool on the dark web, and everyone should be wary of the digital media manipulation.
	Okay, I didn't know the name, but I think we brought this up on 1008.
	We have discussed the software.
	I didn't know about the name Deepfake.
	But yeah, this is an interesting development in technology.
	Well, they managed, of course, to put Carrie Fisher in the movie that she wasn't in as a young woman.
	Yeah, but now it's accessible to people on Reddit.
	When I saw that movie that they had the first one of these phony spinoffs, which I did get to see that the El Capitan in HDR, they had that old guy who's been dead.
	The actor's been dead for, I don't know, 25 years, and they put him in the movie, and it looked just like he was in there.
	And I, until I didn't know this, I didn't even think about it.
	When I saw him, he just looked at the same old fart that he was in a movie in 1977.
	But no, it was just, I don't know what I was thinking.
	I should have figured out that it was, well, how was he doing there?
	It can't be happening.
	And then I remembered when I heard about this nomenclature, deep fake or fake app or whatever it's called.
	I remember, and this is some years ago, this was, in fact, let me see if I got the date here.
	When Blu-ray was first coming out, There was a competitor that showed up out of the blue at the very last minute for some reason.
	I don't know why it came in at the last minute.
	It was promoted by Microsoft and I think a couple of other guys.
	What was it?
	What was it called?
	It was called HD DVD. Huh.
	Now, okay, the HD DVD promotion group was dissolved in 2008.
	It first came out, okay, it began in February 2008 and before the end of the year, it was dissolved.
	But they were promoting the hell out of it, trying to get, instead of Blu-ray, it had these advantages and disadvantages.
	But I got a private briefing in San Francisco because they were promoting the hell out of this.
	And...
	They showed me that built into this system, you could watch a movie, and they showed Fast and Furious, and you could program it, not programmatically, but you weren't programming anything, so it wasn't programmatic.
	But you could do something to change the color of all the cars.
	And...
	This is in 2008.
	It sounds like one of those bullcrap, like your fridge is going to automatically order milk for you.
	It did sound like bullcrap.
	It did sound like bullcrap, but they showed me some demos.
	But the demos could be bullcrap.
	I know that.
	But they also said they got the technology in there.
	They can change the faces.
	And they said this.
	You can take your face, which you get scanned in, and you can put it in the movie.
	Hmm.
	Now, if this was going on...
	We need to find some promo reels or something of this product.
	Well, good luck.
	The point is that if you could do this in 2008 and they did it in the Star Wars movie where you created a person out of thin air, there's...
	The sky's the limit, and there's no way, just because Reddit, I don't even know why they did this, because it doesn't seem like their MO, killed the forum, which had like 20,000 people in it, or two different forums, each with 10.
	It doesn't make any sense, so something's up with that.
	that i think the whole thing is very sketchy and i just think it's kind of a coincidence that this bulls shit guy you know talking about the shagging uh hillary and bill shagging the same woman and and dustin hoffman i think that's things been altered i don't believe i like it i like it i like Well, I can do one thing.
	Keith Bishop Do you remember that guy, Keith Bishop?
	He was a British PR guy, and he worked for Mevio when I had the office over there.
	I guess we were still Podshow, Podshow UK. And he worked for Max Clifford and knew him very well.
	Oh, I remember that, yeah.
	And I can ask him if that video, if he thinks that that is Clifford.
	He'll know.
	Or he'll know if Clifford is pissed about it or whatever.
	I'll ask him.
	I'll shoot Keith an email.
	Yeah, just ask him and get it straight.
	But I got suspicious...
	And then all this deepfake stuff going on is getting very, very strange and it's not going to And that disappearance of the Reddit group really took me aback because it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
	That's a tell right there.
	I mean, the shit that's on Reddit.
	Are you kidding me?
	That's what they closed on?
	Some intelligence agencies working on something.
	This information just got out.
	Now we're, oh God, now we can't do it.
	This is going to involve Trump.
	There's going to be something going on.
	You watch.
	Huh.
	Which would be a great way, because even if people know about it, if a video came out with Stormy Daniels and Trump, which could be a deep fake video, people would never hear the story that even the possibility that it's a fake.
	Were they going to believe the president?
	Hey man, I didn't do her.
	I like this quote that...
	This was, I think, NBC. I couldn't believe they did this story.
	That's the president ignoring a question from our White House producer, Liz Landers.
	Daniels is suing him, of course, over a nondisclosure agreement related to an alleged affair between the two of them.
	She spoke exclusively to CNN about the controversy, and here's just a taste.
	You've gotten a lot of attention.
	Some of it's some negative attention.
	How are you handling everything?
	I've been in the adult business for 17 years.
	So to make it that long in that business, you have to have a really tough skin.
	And so most of it rolls off my shoulders because it's an opinion.
	Like, oh, you think I'm a whore or you think I'm ugly or I'm old or I'm fat or my boobs are too big or too small or whatever.
	I've heard there's nothing along those lines that someone can say to me that I haven't heard.
	And so when someone says, hey, you're a whore, I'm like, that is successful whore to you.
	Oh, man.
	You go, girl.
	Yeah.
	I hope women feel proud of her because they should be.
	She's an independent, rich woman.
	She has made it herself against all kinds of controversy.
	I feel that she should be hailed as a heroine.
	A heroine.
	Exactly.
	I'm going to show my salute 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 indeed we do have some people to thank for show 1015.
	As we move into the head towards show 2000 or higher.
	We already thanked Amanda Monroe.
	Let's go to Mark Milliman, $101.50.
	Sir, I think it's Sir Mark Milliman, I think.
	It is Sir Mark Milliman, I know that.
	As promised in my email, it's too late for show 2014.
	You know, you said on the last show, because I do monitor, you kept saying this show 2014, 2010, it's 10.
	So it's show 1014.
	I don't know why I would be doing this.
	I know it's 10 codes we're working with, so I don't know.
	You just anchored it.
	You're good.
	You're fixed.
	You're healed.
	Watch.
	You just did it.
	10 codes.
	That's what you remember.
	10 codes.
	It's in your head now.
	10 codes.
	You'll never do it wrong again.
	10 codes.
	Mika Miller in Bethel, Pennsylvania, $101.50.
	She's asking for some karma we'll put at the end for everybody.
	Sir Richard of Grandview Manor, Colorado Springs, 101.40.
	Julie McNeil in St.
	Gabriel, Louisiana, $100.
	C.R. Douglas, Parts Unknown, 9330.
	Steven Sandoval, 8008, boob.
	Hey, did you have any...
	I like the newsletter.
	I love the album covers.
	No, there's no boob in there.
	I love the album covers.
	I love These Lips Are Made For Blowing.
	Is that a real album cover?
	Just These Lips Are Made For Blowing.
	Oh, that was beautiful.
	That was fantastic.
	One of these days, these lips are gonna...
	It was good.
	Yeah, there's another idea there for Chris or whoever wants it.
	Courtney Vandenberg.
	Oh yeah, this album cover is very funny because that's why I forgot all about Wayne Cochran, the original Donald Trump haircut.
	And the guy, what was the album titled?
	Dick.
	Dick.
	Great albums, man.
	How the meaning of words changes within such little time.
	I think, you know, there's a lot of old used record stores still.
	They're usually not making much money, but they exist.
	I recommend people go in there and find some of these crazy-looking album covers and then get one of those Ikea frames, which hold record albums perfectly, and use it as art.
	This is art.
	Or...
	Those album covers, any one of them, I would gladly hang on the wall.
	You should take a look at the No Agenda Art Generator to print out some art.
	No, I know about to do that, but we don't have the...
	The art prints out at about, if you do it to full size, it's only about five by five.
	Right, doesn't do it right.
	And these are sillier.
	Yeah, and they meant it that way.
	They didn't mean it as a joke.
	Yeah, no, they were serious.
	At least the no agenda stuff is like, we're half serious and, you know, we're trying to be funny.
	These guys are trying to be serious and they're funny.
	It's really kind of the key.
	Anyway, Courtney Vandenberg, 8008.
	We have the two boob donations.
	Two boobs.
	Boobs.
	Chris Beggio, 7373.
	73 to you.

	It could be Kwarciani, but it might be Polish, too.
	Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 66, 66.
	Sir Phenom in Appleton, Wisconsin.
	Uh...
	Colton Comer in Johnston, Colorado.
	Dominique.
	Wait a minute.
	Colton says 6-0-0-6.
	He says this is a double saggy boob which makes small boobs.
	It's two times 30-0-3.
	This is up for debate.
	Yeah, I think so too.
	It's debatable.
	Whether it's just small boobs or saggy boobs.
	Um...
	I just heard the podcast go click.
	Yes, this is our podcast.
	We're actually proud of this.
	I know.
	Dominic DeVito, 5555, Peter Tangney in Plymouth, Massachusetts, 5226.
	And then, I thought there was some So the rest of these are $50 donations.
	Robert DeCanny, Fairfax, Virginia.
	Brett Yeo in Cantonsville, Maryland.
	Sir Richard Gardner.
	Robert Bruckner.
	Joseph Barnes in Oakland.
	Drew Mochak over here in El Cerrito.
	Next county over.
	Erez Shatz in Israel.
	Okay.
	In Bait Samesh.
	I'm guessing.
	Thank you.
	We love getting these Israelis listening.
	Kirsten Gleb comes into pop money every month, 50.
	And last but not least, Kyle Meyer in Atlanta, Georgia.
	I want to thank all these folks for helping produce show 1015 and want to continue helping us continue doing this work, which is not easy, can be fun.
	And I think it's rewarding for us and it makes everybody sane.
	Beautifully said.
	And we also thank everybody who came in under $50, which they do for reasons of anonymity or on, as you were promoting in the newsletter, one of our many subscriptions.
	A sustaining donation is always appreciated.
	Please consider that.
	And please consider...
	What?
	With that in mind, Adam John wants to say something.
	With that in mind, we do have a violation of the rules.
	Uh-oh.
	Which is the 3110 Mothering Sunday donations with names of the donors and names of the mothers listed.
	Here we go.
	Now, of course, this is one of our fantastic promotions.
	One, two, three, four, five, six, seven people took part.
	Score.
	A whole seven.
	And I'm going to name them now.
	With the donor's name and mother's or girlfriend or whoever you want to point it at.
	This is another, I would call it typically a dud promotion, but here we go.
	Stuart Walton wants to call out his, my mom's name is June, her birthday was on 3-7.
	You might want to add her to the birthday list.
	I just put her on the list.
	I just put her on the list.
	That was Dean Victor.
	That was Dean Victor.
	Dan Victor.
	Dan Victor.
	Dan Victor in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
	Stuart Walton in Stafford, Staffordshire, UK. Jill Walton.
	Happy Mothering Day.
	I'm glad that's what it was done for.
	It was done for the United Kingdom.
	We got one person from the United Kingdom to come in.
	They hate moms over there.
	They just hate moms.
	They hate your mothers.
	mother.
	Chris Engler in Lancaster, Ontario.
	Sigrid Engler.
	Happy Mothering Sunday.
	Magdaleno Gutierrez.
	Parson Donne and wants well wishes to Paula.
	Paula Gutierrez.
	David Fugizotto has actually two of these donations.
	He took care of two of them.
	One for Melody Fugizotto, mother of Dame Isabella Fugizotto.
	And then the second donation for Pauline Fugizotto.
	Nice.
	Thank you both.
	That was very nice.
	Sean McClellan is the last one for $31.10.
	Call out to my smoking hot wife.
	And the mother of our four miniature humans, Melanie.
	And I want to thank them for contributing to this promotion.
	Well, we appreciate it.
	And it's always nice to know that there's at least...
	Well, it's only not seven, it's six, because...
	Yeah, it's Fuguzotto.
	It's coming in twice.
	And we got the one guy from England.
	This whole thing was designed for the UK. It was for you guys.
	It was for you.
	What's wrong with you?
	Well, the funny thing, luckily the two top donors to today's show are both from the UK, so we can forgive them for that.
	But you can always consider making it up for Thursday's show by remembering and going to...
	Okay, by multiple requests, we have some jobs, Carmen.
	Jobs.
	Jobs.
	And jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got...
	Karma.
	And a quick make good, which I neglected to mention.
	Douglas Chick had donated for episode 1006.
	He had donated $100.06.
	Didn't get a mention.
	We apologize.
	And thank you, sir, for your courage.
	So here's our updated list, sir.
	Sir John Haller turned 74 years old on March 12th.
	For most media properties, he would be completely useless and ignored and not talked about at all and probably not even have content for him because he's not in the demo.
	So happy birthday, Sir John Haller.
	Your birthday tomorrow.
	Dan Victor, happy birthday to his mom, as we just heard.
	His mom, June, she celebrated on March 7th.
	And finally, Amanda Monroe says happy birthday to Justin, better known as Boo Boo, turns 32 tomorrow.
	Happy birthday from your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe!
	He is in the woke demo.
	He is totally, whoa, Sir John?
	Yeah.
	Way woke.
	He's way woke.
	Alright, the way it works on the No Agenda Show, if you donate an aggregate of $1,000 to the program, you are allowed to enter our peerage table, which is an actual title.
	We hand out titles for knights and dames.
	There's no reason we are any...
	Oh, by the way, I found out why the king and queen of the Netherlands want to meet me.
	Yes.
	They're going to knight you?
	Well, you know, this, someone actually suggested they do have in April, they do have a, you know, they hand out, they call it the Ribbon Reign, Linkes Reichen, and that's when they make people knights and special, you know, like kingdom type titles.
	And I'm like, oh man, but they can't make me a knight because I'm not Dutch.
	The Marconi knight.
	No, I'm not Dutch.
	But it does have to do with the Marconi award, and it was Sir Wanderhelm there in Finland.
	I thought you had dual citizenship.
	Never had dual citizenship.
	Oh, okay.
	This is often misunderstood.
	Yes, this is misunderstood by me.
	It's like, after a decade of doing this show.
	It's only been ten years.
	Our relationship is fresh.
	We're still learning things about each other.
	Think about how beautiful that is.
	It's just fresh.
	But Luke's or Wonderhelm figured it out.
	Because it happens typically on the 11th of April every year.
	The king and queen invite the...
	It's called the Outblinker's Lunch.
	Outblinker's Lunch?
	You're a blinker?
	An outblinker.
	Yeah, you did Tourette's.
	Yeah, well, that's...
	I'm blinking with my eyes.
	Oh, he blinks with his eyes.
	Let's invite him to lunch.
	No.
	Outblinker is...
	The literal translation would be a super shiny...
	Okay.
	That's not a literal translation.
	It would mean someone who was shining during the year.
	You're a luminescence.
	Luminescence, yes.
	You're a star.
	I'm a star.
	I'm a star.
	So they invite people who won at the Winter Olympics.
	They invite some teacher.
	So they're going to invite you because you won the Marconi.
	Yes, that is why.
	But what it really is, it's just a photo op to make them look cool.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, you know, you're not getting knighted.
	That's too bad.
	Well, should I still go, though?
	I mean, it's a lot of work to, you know, schlep back.
	You don't have to go.
	It's these super elites inviting you to...
	These people go to the Bilderberger meetings.
	What they say you have to do, you're a slave to the system.
	You really think I should?
	I mean, it's like coming home.
	I'll think about it.
	You don't have to go, but, you know, I was hoping you're going to...
	I mean, it's not like I don't want to go.
	It's just, if I were living here, I'd go.
	But, you know, it's just like, I gotta go.
	It's under consideration.
	Why don't you tell them to move it up?
	Wimlex!
	Maxima!
	Anyway, grab your sword.
	We got some real knightings here.
	None of this phony, baloney, shining star stuff.
	You got it?
	Yeah, I hear you.
	All right, up on stage, please, Sam Seeler and Christopher Wilcox.
	Gentlemen, both of you have donated to the best podcast in the university amount of $1,000 or more.
	Therefore, you enter the illustrious table, the round table of the No Agenda Knights and Danes, and I hereby pronounce to Kate, the...
	Sir Sam and Sir Trofer of Topperlay.
	For you, we have the requisite hookers and blow, red boys and chardonnay.
	We have English muffins with butter and honey.
	We got Captain Morgans and women with questionable reputation.
	We have kebab and Persian wine, brisket and barrel-aged copper ale.
	We got organic macaroni and plasticizers, Rubenesque women and rosé, breast milk and pablum.

	So you can take that over to NoAgendaNation.com slash rings and you will find that Eric DeShield will send that out to you as soon as possible.
	Your ring, you get your ceiling wax, your certificate, and please tweet out a picture.
	We love seeing those on the tweeters.
	And again, thank you for your courage for supporting your No Agenda show.
	Title change won today.
	An upgrade as Sir Nick of the Southside has brought in another thousand dollars to the show and becomes the Baron of the DMV. And he will be mentioned as such with his protectorate being, what was it in D.C.? Which area was it?
	Do you recall?
	Yeah, the DC. He wants to be the DC guy.
	The DC guy.
	The DC something.
	Okay, the DC guy.
	So that will be reflected on our peerage map, itm.im slash peerage.
	And again, thank you all for supporting No Agenda Show.
	I do have a note to read from John Haller, who you just gave the birthday shout-out for.
	He said, I know it is.
	Thanks for all you do.
	I would not miss the show.
	Sir John Haller, is it Sir?
	I don't know if he said that.
	From Missoula, Montana.
	I think Eric got that.
	Pronounced Hal, not Holler.
	We keep pronouncing him Holler.
	Sorry, sorry.
	So, Haller.
	So, we'll get that straight.
	We'll get that straight in the future.
	Adam, you were right about Queer Eye on Netflix.
	It's a very enjoyable show.
	Huh.
	John?
	I would never take a high-speed train from San Francisco to Fresno or even L.A. That is just one reason I left California for Montana.
	It's a non-sequitur.
	I have no idea what he's talking about.
	I like it.
	It's good.
	It's good.
	But...
	Okay, well I guess I'm going to have to check this out if it's that good.
	It is good.
	It's male energy portrayed in a very nice way.
	You don't see that often because we're the patriarchy and responsible for all bad things in the world.
	And it's nice to see a bunch of gay guys coming to our rescue.
	Thank you, gay guys.
	Thank you, gay guys.
	One other thing I want to point out is a news story because we did have our submariner come in today.
	It's left a note, left a good donation.
	And I didn't see any news of this.
	This is an obscure story.
	Trump has pardoned the Navy submariner Christian Saucier for mishandling classified material.
	Huh.
	This is some poor schlub on a submarine who, I think he took a picture in the sub or something, waving to his girlfriend, or some minor thing, or moved some document from A to B. It was nothing compared to what Hillary did.
	Right.
	Right.
	And so he got court-martialed, and now he's been pardoned, so it all ends well.
	Oh, good.
	It's always good to have another submariner amongst us.
	They are handy.
	There was a submariner that was one of the early pioneers of the microcomputer revolution.
	If you remember the product C-Basic, anybody out there was a compiler that was done by Gordon Eubanks, who then later started Symantec, which was a word processing company when he started it, and then it became, now it's a security company.
	But Eubanks was a captain.
	I didn't know that.
	He was a submarine captain.
	Commander.
	Is it captain or commander?
	Well, I think the boat, the head of a ship, boat, whatever you're advertising, is, I think he's a captain.
	I think the guy is always the captain.
	I think his rank may have been commander.
	But the guy who runs the ship is still called the captain, even if he's a lieutenant.
	Gotcha.
	Correct me if I'm wrong.
	I hear you.
	I think you're right.
	I do want to caution you a little bit.
	Whenever you say, hey, Sir Chris from Australia can do that, the guy actually does it.
	Let's use him sparingly, because what happens...
	We're burning him out.
	I'm of this burning him out school.
	Yeah, don't burn them out.
	I mean, that happens with every single producer we have.
	And many of them do come back and, you know, and rekindle whatever they were doing that was fun for the show at the time.
	But it's a huge guilt.
	You know, we place guilt.
	Yeah, because people are like, man, where's Sir Chris?
	He's got to do a song.
	The guy may have a really busy job.
	I don't know.
	He has a real life.
	He doesn't have to be doing, oh my God, I got to do this now.
	Yeah.
	And he has to get drunk to do it.
	Okay, I'm not going to call out Sir Chris anymore to do these jingles.
	But I'm not going to stop suggesting them.
	Here's what happened on the last show.
	Those abreeves are all Australian.
	You're appropriating their culture and you should be ashamed of yourself.
	You racist.
	Chris Wilson, say all these words with the right accent.
	Yes, that's exactly what you need to do.
	We'll be looking for a clip tomorrow.
	No wakazads in Jono.
	In fact, I'll do these blokes one better.
	I'll use them in a jingle.
	I got the deets for a tradie from the garbo at the servo.
	I said I want a reno, but he said to do a demo, cos the brickies chucked a sickie and the chippies on the bundy and the sparkies got an IDO.
	So I went to the bolo, had a skewy with ol' Stewie, then we went out in his tinny to get some flatty for the barbie, cooked some snacks for a sanger, and Robbo, who's a postie, said myute's run out of rego.
	That's just a little bit.
	There's an end-of-show song that's more complete.
	Wow.
	You know what this needs?
	Now we need GX2 or UKPMX to come in and drop some beats on this track.
	Yeah.
	On this stem, I should say.
	Now you're going.
	What?
	Stem.
	Yeah, stem.
	I've learned all kinds of stuff here.
	Stem.
	Yeah?
	I like it.
	Alright, I'll be more judicious and less demanding.
	That will be the new me.
	Q Anon.
	ding QAnon.
	This has been going on for months.
	Oh, what, months?
	Probably more than years.
	I don't know how long it is.
	This guy on Reddit is posting all these deep state things, but he's not really posting stuff.
	He says, follow the white rabbit.
	Who is the bat?
	Why is it blue?
	People are like, oh, yes!
	It's happening, the deep state!
	And...
	Yeah, you can deconstruct this stuff however you want, and then a lot of it has come true.
	A lot of what we have predicted has come true as well.
	See North Korea, except we didn't do it right.
	We should have said, see the rocket, the man that shines, go.
	Something like that, you know, just follow the white rabbit, and then, oh yeah, we predicted it.
	No, we actually say this is what's going to happen.
	And then someone sent me this clip with a very different take on what QAnon, who I believe, if it's anyone who is real, is probably a very low level.
	A lot of this stuff we hear from our own contacts from the show.
	It's probably very low level.
	And why do the riddles?
	If you've got something to say, just tell us.
	Tell us.
	Don't make us chase the rabbit.
	But here's an interesting take on it.
	Now, another topic that you and I have discussed quite frequently is your feelings that QAnon is somehow involved with AI or the information is generated by AI. What's the latest thinking on that?
	I was doing more research and on February 5th, I think it was, They posted a drop that mentions Spartans in Darkness.
	And if you research Spartans in Darkness...
	Oh yeah.
	By the way, it's not...
	Wait, wait.
	Yes.
	Who is this guy talking?
	I don't know.
	This is some podcast.
	I don't know who it is.
	He sounds like Jordan Peterson.
	He's not, though.
	He's definitely not Jordan Peterson.
	No, I know he's not because he sounds like Jordan Peterson.
	Well, I was going to point out this other thing.
	We don't say QAnon posted an update on Reddit.
	No, we say, there's another QAnon drop.
	So you've got to get into the lingo, John.
	Another QAnon drop.
	Which I know how much you like the phrase.
	Yeah, big fan.
	Drop that mentioned Spartans in Darkness.
	And if you research Spartans in Darkness, it's signals intelligence, and Tyler is signals intelligence.
	So as of February 5th, I don't ever need to look at QAnon stuff because QAnon is dropping signals intelligence, and I'm researching Tyler, which is signals intelligence.
	And they talk about things like operators, and they talk about things like use logic.
	And there's so many phrases in the QAnon drops that indicate that it's machine logic and human logic mixed.
	But they use terms like operator.
	They use terms like SIGINT.
	They use defined terms that are only used in the intelligence community when talking in regards to a machine interface.
	So what do you think that means?
	It means that either someone is stealing my research or someone is using an AI to reveal information to the world so that it can't be traced back to them and get caught and get in trouble.
	So if I'm someone who wants to reveal information and I don't want it to get traced back to me or to any of my IP addresses, I load that information into an AI and then I launch it onto the internet somewhere and then I have the AI do the drop.
	There you go.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	It's a Spartans in Darkness.
	Yeah, it's actually the Star Wars movie, and I'll finish it.
	Oh, man, comic books are really good.
	We can do a podcast, man.
	Okay.
	All right, they're still pushing Gardasil really hard.
	Sales must be down.
	This was on the Sacramento Bee.
	What is Sacramento Bee?
	What kind of newspaper is that?
	Sacramento Bee, it used to be a substantial paper that was like a good local newspaper in the olden days, but now it's turned into kind of like one of those regional newspapers.
	It's owned by a group of people that are not...
	So they wouldn't shy away from native advertising?
	They would not shy away.
	My guess is they would not shy away.
	They didn't encourage it.
	So they had a big story about...
	And by the way, I need to remind people that Michael Douglas, the actor...
	Who was cited every single time incorrectly.
	Well, Michael Douglas said he got throat cancer from oral sex, which, of course, implied Catherine Zeta-Jones had, you know, HPV. And later, Douglas said that was a lie.
	He said I had tongue cancer, but I didn't want anybody to know because I would definitely not get any work because, you know, they would cancel everything.
	He's come out publicly and said it was a lie, but no.
	Every story, several in the show notes at nashownotes.com.
	Michael Douglas was the first one who publicly found out that HPV, you can get throat cancer from oral sex.
	And we have debunked this HPV virus, or the Gardazil for sure, which only targets three of the possible, possible maybe, is it genes?
	I've lost track of this.
	This Gardasil thing is annoying.
	But anyway, the Sacramento Bee had a big story with the Douglas thing once again, and here's the guy they had shot a video for on the same page.
	The human papillomavirus, commonly known as HPV, is a family of viruses that can cause a multitude of sexually transmitted infections in adults, primarily viral illnesses.
	But these, if not treated, can lead to things like cervical cancer in women, anal cancer in men and women, and some forms of genital cancer in men, if not treated.
	Also, HPV is the number, probably number one or number two cause of head and neck cancer in males, which is something a lot of people don't know.
	And for children under the age of 15, it's a series of two injections six months apart.
	So today and then come back in six months.
	If you're over 16 and up to 23 years of age, and that's the age range that is commonly accepted in terms of the immunization, it's three vaccines six months apart.
	One today, one in two months, and one in six months.
	And there are...
	The vaccine protects against the most common serotypes that have been associated with cancer in both men and women.
	Man, that's bullcrap.
	You know, it...
	Tobacco causes most throat cancer and mouth cancers.
	It's just a fact.
	Yeah, but how come we can't get a shot for that so we can keep smoking?
	But I have a clip from a clip from a show we haven't played something from in a long time.
	Fareed Zakaria, the globalist, anti-constitutionalist douche on CNN. Anti-American, anti-national, anti-constitution douche.
	There you go, that's a bumper sticker.
	He had former Secretary of War?
	No, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
	On the show.
	Another globalist.
	Another globalist, but I thought it was about the Second Amendment, about guns.
	And I thought it was interesting that she told this story.
	I'm happy she did, actually.
	When you look at one more mass shooting, do you think that, you know, frankly, what President Trump said recently is the right answer?
	Universal background checks...
	Why do we need to sell assault-style weapons to people who claim they want it for hunting?
	What's your thought?
	Well, let me start by saying I am a defender of the Second Amendment.
	And I come out of a particular circumstance where in Birmingham, Alabama, during segregation, my father and his friends defended the community, the neighborhood, with guns against white Knight Riders because you couldn't count on the Birmingham police to do that for you.
	I do think that even if you are a defender of the Second Amendment, we need to take a look and see what combination of things can help us get to the place that we don't have the parklands that we just had.
	Some of it may be age restrictions.
	Some of it may be that we have to really have a conversation about whether civilians should have access to what are essentially military weapons.
	We also need to look at law enforcement and You know, Fareed, if you'd had as many tips about a terrorist as apparently were there in this case, somebody might have done something about it.
	So what's the structure of our intelligence on what is about to happen?
	This is not going to be solved by one solution or one element.
	We're going to have to have a conversation about a number of them.
	But I, for one, do believe that we've got to have a serious conversation about guns and what we want to do about it.
	I'm sorry I even left the rest of that on the clip.
	It wasn't worth it.
	But, you know, it's not often that you hear an African-American say specifically, guns were very important for my family back when you couldn't count on the cops.
	Hello?
	I'm still wishing...
	It's my fault at this point, because I said I was going to find it, the old Tavis Smiley clip, where he went on and on about how important...
	The Second Amendment and guns are to the black community for the similar reasons that she just expressed.
	And I think personally, because he was on PBS when he made these remarks, is the reason that they ousted him.
	Yeah, but this may be...
	We can't have anyone thinking like this.
	We can't have...
	This is not the right way to think about this.
	Doesn't she want to be...
	We have to disarm the public.
	We have to disarm the public.
	Doesn't she want to be NFL commissioner or something like that?
	Isn't she up for that job somehow?
	Did I hear that somewhere?
	Oh, God.
	I think I've heard this.
	Well, not anymore.
	Not if you're against guns.
	Yeah, she's not against guns enough.
	She's not enough against guns.
	You're not enough against guns.
	You're not doing it right.
	It's a great new product coming out in one particular country.
	Begin be gone.
	Begin be gone.
	I think they're doing it wrong.
	For the first time in its history, Coca-Cola plans to launch an alcoholic beverage.
	But before you rush out to the shops to buy some, the drinks giant says it has no plans to sell the Alco Pop in Europe.
	Instead, the new product will go on sale in the lucrative Japanese market, women being the main target.
	The move comes as sales of fizzy drinks decline worldwide, with young people becoming more health conscious.
	There's been a can of Jim Beam and Cola.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if it's still available, but I've seen it before.
	And there's other kind of canned drinks that are, you know, mixed drinks of some sort.
	I don't think this is outrageous, but I think Coca-Cola is making a smart move.
	Move in.
	Use your brand name.
	No, they're making a mistake.
	Big mistake.
	They're focusing on the wrong thing.
	The Curry Devorak Consulting Group is always available for you multinationals.
	Here's the campaign.
	It's the really old Coke new again.
	Okay, maybe that didn't sound right.
	It's the old, old, old Coke.
	We brought it back.
	And you know what we did?
	Yes!
	Well, yeah, of course.
	Coke used to be cocaine in a bottle.
	That's what it was called, coca.
	Yeah, coca.
	For cocaine and cola for cola nuts.
	They need to just, they don't have to say, hey, it's coke, cane.
	Just say it's old coke.
	Wink, wink.
	No, you have to say it's got cocaine in it.
	You can even have a potty.
	You gotta put cocaine in it.
	You gotta put cocaine in it.
	Okay, okay.
	You go to Peru and they have, you're always chewing on coca leaves as you're roaming around in the high altitude.
	Wait, wait, it's new organic coke.
	There you go.
	When you're in Peru, you can get the cocaine tea.
	And it's made from coca leaves.
	It's got all kinds of stuff in it.
	The amount of cocaine is negligible.
	But that's all that was in Coca-Cola.
	It was essentially cocaine tea.
	Which is legal in many parts of South America, and it was legal in this country until recently.
	I think it was in the 80s they made it illegal for some unknown reason.
	It's just a kind of herb tea.
	Well, weed is also just a flower.
	Weed is being legalized.
	Yes, so I think organic Coke is on deck.
	When I was a kid, a bag of marijuana was a dime bag.
	It was a dime bag, baby.
	It had leaves, seeds, buds, everything.
	There's no more seeds.
	Makes sense to me.
	And you can take those seeds and grow them.
	Remember we used to say that in school.
	Hey man, how's everything going?
	Makes sense to me.
	That was code.
	The sensimilia is in.
	You never heard that?
	No.
	That's a good one.
	Hang out with me, man.
	You'll learn.
	Yeah.
	So, and I said that on purpose because I didn't say much, I don't think.
	No, not at all.
	You didn't do a so-ah.
	So-ah.
	This is the worst thing.
	I'm glad that guy notices that we do this.
	And people say, well, I think you're just wasting your time.
	It's fine to say that.
	Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
	I just had to play that.
	I wish that they would just re-legalize Coca-T and let people just have a cup.
	Have a Coke and a smile.
	Have a Coke and a smile.
	And then put it back in Coca-Cola.
	Which really made it work.
	Yeah.
	And you're in business.
	This is what I'm saying.
	What's Pepsi going to do?
	Pepsi's Pepsin.
	Pepsin and cola.
	What's Pepsin?
	We got more Pepsin in there.
	What's Pepsin?
	Pepsin is like the...
	It's like pepsin is a...
	There's a gum.
	One of the gum.
	Beech nut, I think, has pepsin.
	Pepsin.
	You look for the pepsin chewing gum.
	I think beech nut still makes it.
	It's still available in some obscure places.
	Not in big distribution.
	It's delicious.
	Pepsin is a delicious product.
	Is it a stimulant?
	No, it's good for your stomach.
	I think.
	We're going to do the book of knowledge and look it up.
	But I believe it's one of these things that really helps you digest.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I'm just saying, they're focusing on the wrong product in one country.
	But I think the Japanese would like Coke, too.
	Can you imagine a bunch of coked-out Japs?
	That was really racist.
	Boy, I heard that one.
	That was really racist.
	Let me, there's a show title.
	Coked-out Japs.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	I think we got almost this far in the show without getting fired.
	No, we're fired now.
	Hotline!
	Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides that E-protease, I can't pronounce it.
	It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive system of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest proteins in food.
	Pepsin has three-dimensional structure and goes on and on.
	Happy anniversary, Fukushima!
	Yeah, you're going to dwell on that one.
	Adam at Curry.com.
	I do apologize.
	I totally agree.
	It was a racist thing to say.
	It was.
	Yeah.
	I'm not a racist.
	This is funny.
	Nanu, nanu.
	Just kidding.
	You know, we haven't been getting, as you mentioned, and let's just bring this up, What kind of support have we been getting from our Japanese listeners?
	Well, we do have Sir Mark and Dame Astrid.
	Come on.
	They're not Japanese.
	They just live in Japan.
	They might as well be Japanese.
	Well, they might as well be, but they're not.
	The emperor has them over for tea all the time.
	Well, I'd love to be at one of those meetings.
	Oh, yeah.
	But, you know, maybe they wouldn't have this kind of grief.
	From you, specifically.
	Oh, come on.
	I didn't mean it as grief.
	I have no problem with the Japanese.
	And I still want to go to Tokyo with Tina, so that may be over.
	You wait until there be protesters out there waiting for you.
	Hey, Curry-san!
	You think we cook out?
	Okay, anyway.
	Onward.
	I have a Dutch story.
	Get it out of the way.
	Talking about the Dutch, talking about the Queen, talking about visiting there.
	Yes.
	And there's the Dutch voice in here, so you can take off after the clip.
	This is the Dutch flying car.
	They're a common feature in science fiction stories, but now flying cars are about to shift gears from fantasy to reality.
	A Dutch company has unveiled a vehicle which would allow drivers to both zip through traffic on the ground or simply fly above it.
	Theo Leggett reports.
	At the airport, driver sprouts wings and becomes pilot.
	The wings unfold to a span of 12 yards and presto, it's a plane.
	People have been designing flying cars for years but commercially they've never really made it off the ground.
	But not anymore, because this flying car is actually in production.
	Yes, you can buy one.
	It's called the Powell V Liberty, and it's the fruit of 15 years of research and development.
	That body shell is carbon fibre, so it's very light.
	And over here, these blades, they provide the lift.
	They open out like a helicopter's, but they rotate under their own momentum.
	It's a gyrocopter.
	And power is provided by two engines at the back here.
	One of them is also used for driving it on the road.
	Now, it can do 160 km an hour on the road, 180 km an hour in the air.
	So, why would you want to fly when you can go almost as fast on the road?
	Well, to get above all those pesky traffic jams, of course.
	It takes from 5 to 10 minutes to convert the Liberty from a car into an aircraft.
	And it does need a runway to take off and land.
	So what exactly is the point of it?
	Because aviation goes from a place where you don't want to leave to a place where you don't want to be.
	Yes.
	You want to leave at the door of your garage, then go to the door where you want to be.
	And that's what we offer.
	Right.
	3D mobility, flying and driving.
	Give this man a medal for his marketing speak.
	Very good.
	You're in front of the door.
	You want to go where you want to be.
	You get in the thing and you're dead where you want to be, right?
	Driving in one vehicle.
	Now, the PAL-V is fully certified.
	It meets all European safety requirements, but it certainly doesn't come cheap.
	This one will cost you half a million euros.
	The cheapest version, about 300,000 euros.
	Also, you need a pilot's license, so it really isn't for everybody.
	Me?
	I'm off to get some flying lessons.
	Theo Leggett, BBC News.
	I am glad you brought this clip.
	I have been following this development very closely of this specific company because this is a derivative from a vehicle called the Carver, and it was a three-wheeled, leaning vehicle, and I actually drove one for a couple of days.
	Somewhere on YouTube you can find a video of me driving it.
	You sit, you know, driver, passenger behind you, and when you turn the steering wheel, when you turn the steering wheel, No, it wasn't three.
	It was three?
	Yeah.
	Then the actual cabin tilts.
	And so it was like carving, kind of like a snowboard or a skateboard carving up the road.
	And it's kind of an odd vehicle to drive because it's very boring.
	It has a steering wheel and a four-speed gear shift.
	You feel stupid in this little bubble, but when you're carving around, weaving in and out of traffic, it's great, but that's going to get you killed.
	They did a very small run, like a hand-built production, and then they got together with the company.
	The guy said a gyrocopter.
	I hate that.
	It's auto-gyro is the official term.
	It's an auto-gyro.
	When I was at Cal, we had to get it.
	I'm licensed to fly them.
	I thought you didn't need a license in the United States to fly an auto gyro.
	Yes, you do.
	You do.
	But you can get a sports license, which is a lot simpler, and there's a whole bunch of restrictions.
	I would love to own one of these.
	I can't afford it.
	I would love to own this.
	It's goofy enough looking at it.
	I've considered an auto gyro by itself doesn't have to drive.
	You need a runway?
	Yeah, you really don't need that much.
	I think the takeoff roll is about 100 feet.
	Yes, you can do this.
	If you do it properly, you can jump it after about 10 feet, but it depends on how it's configured.
	And landing, you can land with 10 feet.
	So, you know, this is a fantastic machine.
	I would love to own one.
	Did I say it loud enough?
	Did I say it loud enough?
	I'd love to own one!
	Yeah, well, maybe the CIA will buy you one that's got a bomb built in.
	Thanks, John.
	I don't think there's any more dangerous looking flying piece of equipment than an auto gyro.
	It is an extremely safe vehicle.
	It is safer than a helicopter and an airplane.
	Well, we might as well mention to people that the reason that it's supposedly so safe, even though I've never seen anyone drive it safely, they're spinning around and all kinds of crazy things, but is that the...
	Rotor around the outside is not powered.
	It's just free floating.
	So the whole thing craps out.
	You just float down to earth as though it was a parachute.
	No, no, no.
	You are continuously in auto gyration mode.
	Yeah, but you'll come down.
	Auto-rotation, I'm sorry.
	Auto-rotation.
	Just let me tell you, because I'm standing.
	In a helicopter, the number one thing you practice when you're learning how to fly, and the number one thing you practice as a pilot just to keep sharp, is auto-rotation.
	If your engine quits, depending on the model you have, you have between half a second for those shitty Robinsons to up to seven seconds for an Enstrom to drop the collective, pull back the stick, You've got to jam down your right or left foot, depending on where your rotor is.
	And then you're in auto-rotation.
	And you will...
	I mean, you have one shot, but you will land it safely.
	And so an auto-gyro, if everything craps out, you're going to be able to land.
	It's extremely safe.
	What if one of the blades breaks?
	Okay.
	Yes, John.
	Or if you fly into electrical wire.
	Sure, there's all kinds of stuff that...
	Taking off the ground is not safe in general.
	It's not good for your health.
	But I would...
	Oh, my God.
	This is my dream machine.
	Okay.
	Well, I hope that you managed to get one.
	Now, I will say this.
	I thought it was ironic that they showed this picture of this old, from the 1930s, the flying car that the wings went out.
	Because the flying car did 200 miles an hour.
	This thing's top speed in the air is 111.
	Yeah.
	180 kilometers sounds like a lot, but it's 111.
	But that's because it's an auto gyro.
	They are limiting their speed.
	And by the way, I don't know what I was going to say.
	I don't know now.
	Oh, what I was going to say was, yeah, commercially...
	Flying car is not going to happen.
	It's called an airplane or a helicopter.
	It's just not going to happen.
	There's no market for it.
	No, you're not going to be able to fly.
	Oh, pesky traffic.
	Let me pull off and fly around.
	No, it's not going to happen.
	Screw the flying car.
	But for the select few who have podcasts, it's a great thing to give me.
	Hello, my Dutch friends.
	If you want some great PR and marketing, I will show people how I can get from here to where I want to be.
	With your car.
	Speaking of which...
	Go for the...
	Get a test.
	Test model.
	It's a sample.
	Oh, yeah.
	Speaking of which, I gotta go.
	Why do you have to go?
	Because it's been almost three hours.
	Oh.
	Uh, yeah.
	Okay, yeah.
	You want to do one more clip to get us to send us home?
	I got a couple things.
	Yeah, let's catch up on the Trump parade.
	Let's do that.
	Get it out of the way.
	Trump parade.
	Oh, you have an update.
	Nice.
	Back now with our index and President Trump's military parade, a go for Veterans Day with one catch and a hefty price tag.
	You won't see any tanks.
	The Defense Department saying they don't want to damage any roads.
	You will see lots of Jeeps, military personnel, and a big aircraft fly over all on November 11th.
	The House Budget Committee says the final cost could be as much as $30 million.
	What?
	Last clip.
	Again, with so much money.
	Why?
	Because they're ripping off the public.
	Oh, okay.
	Makes sense.
	Or, you know, it's a bookkeeping thing.
	Now, this is the story that kind of...
	I also have other stuff for the next show, which includes Megyn Kelly talking to Putin.
	Oh, nice.
	And by the way, I have thoughts about why Putin lets her come over there.
	Because she's hot.
	I think it's because...
	I'm more...
	Yeah, maybe.
	This is the story.
	It reminds me one time we were talking about something like this when I was doing Silicon Spin and one of our...
	One of the guests, I think it was Pat Houston, he says, this has got to stop.
	This has got to stop.
	It's perverted.
	You've got to stop these 16-year-olds from attracting these older men.
	It's like ridiculous.
	They've got to be all thrown in jail.
	So here's the 16-year-old and the old man story.
	To Eastern Pennsylvania now tonight, the desperate search for a 16-year-old girl believed to be on the run with a married man.
	45-year-old Kevin Esterly, you see him there, was warned to stay away from Amy Yu after their secret romantic relationship was uncovered.
	She altered school records listing him as her stepfather so she could leave with him at least ten times over the last few months.
	They were last seen on Monday.
	You took off from her bus stop.
	Esther Lee's wife says he took off in his car with thousands in cash.
	So, is this a trend?
	I just want to mention to anybody out there who thinks this is a good idea, you're going to get caught and humiliated.
	Don't do it.
	Another tip from your No Agenda show.
	He grabs the cash from his wife and runs off with a 16-year-old.
	I mean, come on.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	What could go wrong with that?
	Oh, man.
	All right, everybody.
	That is our program for today, your Deconstruction for Sunday, March 11th, 2018, Episode 1015.
	Which means we'll be back on Thursday.
	I'll be back in Tejas.
	That'll be Thursday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. But until then, coming to you from the Garden of Amsterdam in Laudan, the Netherlands, Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	It doesn't have a FEMA region map number, but...
	Yet.
	Yet.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where all the fog is lifted, and yes, the mudflats are there.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday, right here, on No Agenda, and as always, until then, adios, mofos!
	I need a cab.
	Taxi!
	G'day, Dan.
	Oh, g'day, Dave-o.
	What do you think he was working at the survey today?
	Nah, mate.
	Shucked a sickie.
	Had a combo with me boss and his abandoned smoker.
	So I says, mate, I'm feeling crook in the guts today, so I'm shucking a sickie, alright?
	Struth, mate.
	That's a drag.
	Too right, mate.
	Hey listen, you been tuning in to that buzzer on the blower?
	What buzzer is that?
	That no agenda buzzer with cracker and buzzer?
	Yeah nah mate, too right I am.
	Crikey, it's the best buzzer in my old uni.
	Yeah mate, sure is.
	Been tuning in with my mate Chris Wilson.
	Top bloke that Chris Wilson, he'll be PM one day.
	Too right he will.
	Anyway, gotta get some smokes for my wife, he's also chucking a sickie with me.
	No worries, cover, take it easy old fella.
	Hoo-roo, hoo-roo!
	Those abreeves are all Australian.
	You're appropriating their culture and you should be ashamed of yourself.
	You racist.
	You're going to have Chris Wilson say all these words with the right accent.
	Yes, that's exactly what you need to do.
	We'll be looking for a clip tomorrow.
	No walkers ads in Jono.
	In fact, I'll do these blokes one better.
	I'll use them in a jingle.
	I got the deets for a tradie from the garbo at the servo.
	I said I want a reno, but he said to do a demo, cause the brickies chucked a sickie, and the chippies on the bundy, and the sparkies got an IDO. So I went to the bowl.
	I had a skewy with ol' Stewie.
	Then we went out in his tinny to get some flatty for the barbie, cooked some snags for a sanger.
	And Robbo, who's a post?
	He said, my ute's run out of rego.
	Well, our queen's name is Lizzie.
	She's married to Prince Phil, who's a goose to our abos, and he's probably an alco.
	And the journo on the telly said the polly was a tranny, and the coppers blued with the lebos.
	I went for smoko at the footy with Shano, who's a westy, worked at Woolies, was a surfy.
	Before he was an ambo, it's the houses and the druggos, and the bingles with the truckies.
	That's why he'd rather be a muso.
	We speak an Aussie.
	Bloody Aussie.
	You'll never learn this stuff here from a book.
	We're speaking Aussie.
	Bloody Aussie.
	What Mackie shares a buzzer, Jono and Chug.
