	Understated beauties.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. DeVore.
	It's Sunday, April 29th, 2018.
	This is your award-winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1029.
	This is No Agenda.
	We're reporting from the front lines of all dimensions and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State, here in downtown Austin, Teos, in the Cludio.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm running the operation on Counterfeit Ink.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Counterfeit Ink?
	Counterfeit Ink.
	You mean printer ink, I'm sure.
	I know you're a print aficionado.
	Yeah, printer ink.
	All right.
	Yeah, I use these bogus inks.
	Oh, don't use the bogus ink.
	It'll flog the head.
	Oh, it's going to ruin your printer.
	And sometimes they will just reject it, won't they?
	The printers will reject it as a non-official cartridge.
	They got sued over this a number of times.
	So what do you end up with now?
	The newer printers does the following.
	You stick the thing in.
	Now, sometimes it just says, it doesn't know.
	And it says, eh, okay, here we go.
	But a lot of times it says, hey.
	This isn't right.
	This is not an original ink.
	It's not the right ink.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Are you sure you want to go ahead?
	Yeah.
	Oh, they let you do it.
	They do let you do it.
	Okay.
	Yeah, and they say, yeah, I'm going to go ahead.
	Oh, okay.
	And then, you know, now your warranty is no good.
	The warranty.
	The printer is like a $50 printer.
	Not even.
	Not even.
	I got...
	I think I told you this.
	I need a printer for, you know, obviously for some printing, which I never do.
	And the printer, after all deductions and whatever promos, I think it cost $17.
	It was nothing.
	And they delivered it for that, too.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	Wow, man.
	Wow, man.
	It's really groovy.
	Well, you sound chipper.
	You had a good weekend, I trust.
	Did I? Well, the Warriors won last night.
	Oh, yay!
	Go Warriors!
	Woo!
	It was a funny game.
	I had to describe the game.
	To someone, it was like...
	I don't want to get into sports talk.
	No, me neither, but was it rigged as usual or was it different this time?
	This was a one-sided, lopsided slaughter and it was...
	I don't believe it was rigged.
	The rigging only takes place at the end if there's any rigging.
	But it was like...
	The only way to describe the Warriors when they play like this team plays...
	It's a very defensive-oriented team.
	The only way to describe it, and I think the other team would agree...
	It's horrifying.
	It's horrifying to watch this team play another team.
	I mean, the other team, they can't hold on to the ball.
	The guy just takes it out of his hands.
	I mean, they're knocking people down.
	It's a horrifying team to play.
	I don't see how anybody can beat them.
	I understand why you had a good weekend.
	Fantastic.
	Yeah, we like to see this sort of thing.
	I had a great weekend, too.
	We got some stuff done around the house.
	We had too much to eat, too much to drink.
	Fantastic.
	Yeah, we're sitting down like Saturday night.
	It was groovy.
	And then Tina's like, what are you doing?
	I said, no, I have to watch this.
	But it's a bunch of people in a big place.
	What are you doing?
	It's just not a romantic Saturday night.
	She knows better.
	Well, she didn't know what it was.
	We haven't lived together for a full cycle, so she doesn't know about it.
	Oh, she's not familiar with this idiotic event?
	No, with the White House Correspondents Dinner and our incessant need to watch it.
	Well, I missed it last year, as you recall.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I would have missed it had we not turned on the telescreen and before I could switch to some on-demand stuff.
	There it was.
	Right, now you're stuck because this is your job.
	You gotta do it, yeah.
	Fun time over.
	So the correspondence dinner was a bust.
	Should we explain this for people who don't really understand...
	There's a press association in Washington D.C. called the Washington Correspondence Association, something like that.
	And it's the White House.
	The White House.
	White House.
	White House Correspondence.
	White House Correspondence.
	And this group, the main group, there's little offshoots of it, the different kinds of...
	lesser clubs that show up every so often but yeah it's the main and they are a club and they have scholarships and they give little awards they give little awards to each other and then traditionally it's been the spot where the relationship between the president and the white house correspondents and their association um get to banter back and forth and with the It's like a roast.
	It's like a roast, yeah, but it's really about the president being able to show how funny he is, or she, at excoriating the press.
	But that's based on an old version of the relationship between the press and the White House.
	So this event kind of doesn't make any sense anymore.
	No, it doesn't.
	But they still hold it anyway.
	They try to cajole Trump and they may get a lot of Trump jokes, but it doesn't have the whatever.
	You just have more sting and then...
	Obama was maybe one of the best at this because he could come out and joke with them.
	Ronald Reagan, of course, would have been the best.
	Well, Obama had fantastic timing, great writers, and he was very good at it.
	And there was also much better video production.
	This year they had some cartoon, which everyone was all jitty about, and it was stupid.
	It wasn't funny.
	No, there was a lot of not funny in this particular show.
	Before they began with the jokes and stuff, they honored a bunch of journalists and talked about all the ones that have been arrested.
	And they brought this one woman out who, I guess they got out of jail somehow, and she gave this little spiel.
	And within her spiel, this is the clip, is one of the journalists honored.
	Within her spiel, she throws in a little gem in here that I'm thinking, what kind of an observation is this, and what is she trying to tell us?
	I'm not a terrorist, but a social activist.
	Seven years ago, and during Egypt's spring, I left my Juris Doctorate degree and flew from D.C. to Cairo to carry with me the values of humanity, freedom, and pursuit of happiness.
	That I helped clean garbage from neighborhoods and playgrounds, helped educate little girls, and saved little boys in the streets from being raped by older men on cold winter nights.
	What?
	What?
	Now, she was saving little girls and saving little boys in Egypt from being raped on cold winter nights, which apparently I guess is what goes on in Egypt.
	Damn.
	Only on cold winter nights.
	Yeah.
	And so she had to help the little boys.
	I don't know what she's trying to tell us here, but it's pretty disgusting.
	Did she say her Jewish doctor degree?
	That's what it sounds like, doesn't it?
	She's a Jewish doctor.
	She's going to be a Jewish doctor.
	That's interesting.
	I don't know.
	So they went on and they brought out the woman...
	They actually had this...
	I don't know if I have the...
	Yeah, the woman who was...
	Before we go there, they had a theme this year.
	And this was...
	I think it was respecting the First Amendment.
	Yeah, that's a shocker for them.
	Yeah, well, it was good because it did set up Michelle Wolf, the traditional comedian who's there to roast the president, and some members of Congress and some members of the media, but it kind of falls flat if you don't have the clown car there to make fun of.
	Now, the head of the Washington Correspondents' operation came out, and when she said this, I knew that the whole night was in trouble.
	This is the head of the MWH. In this room, we are Republicans and Democrats and Independents, people of all economic classes, races, religions, and gender self-identifications.
	Whoa!
	What?
	Gender self-identifications.
	That's right.
	I said this was getting a little...
	Really?
	So that's what's in the room?
	I think today, what happens if your self-identification is that your gender is that you change genders every five hours?
	Yeah, that should be okay.
	Although you're mocking gender self-identification, you brute.
	You think?
	Yes, you brute.
	You're not to be taken seriously.
	Only journos know when you're serious.
	How about...
	My gender self-identification is to mock.
	Wouldn't that be okay?
	No.
	Again, you're just making fun of everything.
	You don't know what it's like to be a victim, man.
	Well, okay.
	Go on with your observation since you're apparently...
	No, I mean, the whole place is like that.
	So what else is new?
	I mean, I think CNN actually got an award for their fantastic reporting on Russian collusion.
	I'm not kidding.
	I'm not kidding.
	They got an award for something.
	I mean, the whole thing is hokey.
	And I still was sitting there, you know, doing my little narrative when they didn't have anyone talking.
	People just schmoozing around.
	That must have gone over big with Tina.
	Yeah, come to think of it, it didn't really work.
	We did get...
	The only thing...
	So Michelle Wolf comes out.
	She's got a big smile.
	The worst voice in the world.
	She's like Roseanne Barr.
	That's part of her shtick.
	I've seen her stand-up.
	It's Roseanne Barr's old voice.
	Somehow she borrowed it or she bought it from Roseanne.
	Oh, come on.
	And decided to amp it up a little bit so it's worse than Roseanne's.
	I've seen her stand-up.
	It's pretty funny.
	Well, that's hard to believe.
	Yeah, I know.
	The only funny thing she said was kind of at the beginning, and then, of course, I had to screw with it.
	This is the Michelle Wolf Noagenda.
	Is this the right one?
	Yeah, this is the Michelle Noagenda, not the ice cream.
	And just a reminder to everyone, I'm here to make jokes.
	I have no agenda.
	No agenda.
	I'm not trying to get anything accomplished.
	So everyone that's here from Congress, you should feel right at home.
	That was, I mean...
	I watched it again this morning as I wanted to pull one or two clips.
	In hindsight, it wasn't all that bad.
	Oh, no.
	It was uncomfortable at times.
	I'm surprised that she wasn't in tears as a normal stand-up would be.
	After this was done, but she was standing at the dais or at the front there at a big table, so she couldn't do it.
	But I would have expected her to be in tears backstage.
	She didn't look happy when she sat down, that's for sure.
	She bombed!
	It was unbelievable how bad it was.
	Well, it's okay.
	There were still some jokes I liked.
	Well, here's the joke that I think...
	It was going kind of okay until she did this particular joke.
	This is the Michelle Williams, the bomb, pussy joke.
	Michelle Wolf.
	Michelle Williams.
	Michelle Williams.
	Trump's pink yarn sales are through the roof.
	After Trump got elected, women started knitting those pussy hats.
	When I first saw them, I was like, that's a pussy?
	That's a pussy?
	I guess mine just has a lot more yarn on it.
	When women go to dick and vagina jokes, it's always funny.
	It's a cheap laugh.
	I'm all for it.
	It's considered the lowest form of humor.
	Yes, I know.
	You and Mimi, you're like comics aficionados.
	I've done more research before you got me to do this.
	And that wasn't my favorite one.
	What else you got?
	Well, that was my favorite bomb.
	Here's the one.
	Well, I got three or four of these, but here's the last one I want to play is the Michelle Wolf bombing the Bear Stearns joke, but let's go to this one.
	This is Michelle Wolf broke This is where she decides that she's going to start a new meme, which is on our list that Trump is actually broke.
	He doesn't have any money.
	Which is really an old meme.
	She should know better than to try this.
	It's not in current rotation.
	It's almost a golden oldie at this point.
	It's a fail.
	It was a bit of a fail, I agree.
	Wait.
	She decides to do this bit, which is an old Carson bit, where it gets the audience...
	Carson never asked them to do it, but she did.
	She actually asked them to do the bit where the audience yells at her when she says, he's so broke.
	How broke is he?
	They're supposed to yell.
	So she does these gags, and the first one's kind of funny, only because it's worded funny in a funny way.
	Then it gets worse and worse, and it was a complete bust.
	How broke is he?
	He has to fly failed business class.
	Oh!
	Trump is so broke, he looked for foreign oil in Don Jr.'s hair.
	Trump is so broke, Southwest used him as one of their engines.
	I know, it's so soon.
	But see, I appreciate her doing this.
	I agree, it was a bomb.
	It didn't have rhythm.
	There was a whole lot of problems with it.
	It was, at a certain point, no setups, just boom line, boom line, boom line.
	But...
	She did take respecting the First Amendment to heart, I think, because you only do something, a joke like this, and then follow it up with too soon, because it's kind of a tried and true formula.
	But I like it.
	Yeah, you purely like her.
	No, no, no, not at all.
	I know, it's so soon.
	It's so soon for that joke.
	Why did she tell it?
	It's so soon.
	Trump is so broke.
	He had to borrow money from the Russians and now he's compromised and not susceptible to blackmail and possibly responsible for the collapse of the republic.
	Yay!
	Yay!
	It's a fun game.
	See, that was just silly.
	That was not funny or, you know, it was just factual.
	That was no good.
	Trump is racist, though.
	He loves white nationalists, which is a weird term for a Nazi.
	Calling a Nazi a white nationalist is like calling a pedophile a kid friend.
	Or Harvey Weinstein a ladies' man.
	Which isn't really fair.
	He also likes plants.
	I thought those were good.
	The plants joke was funny, but it was a bit obscure.
	Not for no agenda.
	No, not for no agenda.
	Now, so her last thing that I have, I mean, she did obviously a long set.
	Yeah.
	About 20 minutes, I think.
	Yeah.
	This is her, the barrister thing, and I thought that this was inappropriate.
	For this audience?
	Well, they clearly didn't get the joke at first because they couldn't put two and two together and figure out that Bear Stearns had collapsed in the Great Recession.
	Oh, I think, well, maybe half of them couldn't figure that out because they, after all, are journalists and don't remember anything.
	Yeah.
	But there's some setup lines in here that are technically funny and she's, you know, is well-structured.
	It's the wrong audience.
	The timing stinks.
	She bombs.
	To me, as she finished up, this was the biggest bomb of the night, and I think that she should have been in tears after this.
	But good for you.
	Mike Pence is a weirdo, though.
	He's a weird little guy.
	He won't meet with other women without his wife present.
	When people first heard this, they were like, that's crazy.
	But now in this current climate, they're like, that's a good witness.
	She also had a lot of stumbling in the punchline problems, which when you're already in a rough rhythm, she fumbled a lot of her punchlines.
	Yeah, she fumbled a lot of the setups.
	The Me Too movement, it's probably the reason I'm here.
	They were like, a woman's probably not going to jerk off in front of anyone, right?
	I like this.
	And to that I say, don't count your chickens.
	There's a lot of parties.
	Now, I've worked in a lot of male-dominated people.
	So her punchline to this is, don't count your chickens, and she muffs that.
	I don't know why you think this is funny.
	No, it was funny, but it was a bad punchline, I agree.
	She should have said, don't be so sure would have been funny, or, then don't count your chickens, to the point where, what's the, don't count your chickens is like a cross-reference to don't be so sure.
	It's like taking the joke and adding, you know, some depth to it.
	That was technically wrong, you're right.
	It was technically bad.
	And so she – and then she doesn't even say don't count your chickens clearly.
	It's like double – I mean it was like you couldn't even understand that.
	So she takes and botches that because I think what she sensed was when she said a woman is not going to masturbate in front of a big audience or jerk off I think she said.
	I think the audience fell so flat at that moment like why is she – what has this got to do with anything?
	I think she realized that that was a bomb, and now she was...
	I think she was upset to the point where she couldn't enunciate.
	Oh, that's possible.
	That's possible.
	And so then as she finishes up, she's trying to catch up, and she's doing a soldierly-like job of slogging through the routine, which is written down, and...
	She manages to get through it, but I really can't not believe that she was very upset by how it worked out.
	Now, I've worked in a lot of male-dominated fields.
	Before comedy, I worked at a tech company, and before that, I worked on Wall Street.
	And honestly, I've never really been sexually harassed.
	That being said, I did work at Bear Stearns in 2008.
	So although I haven't been sexually harassed, I've definitely been fucked.
	Yeah, that whole company went down on me without my consent.
	And no man got in trouble for that one either.
	You didn't like that?
	Things are changing.
	You didn't like that?
	The Bear Stearns?
	It was, like I said, it was well structured, but it wasn't getting any laughs.
	And really the key to all this is you gotta get some laughs and you gotta get the audience going.
	She lost the audience with the pussy joke.
	Yeah.
	And she never recovered, never got him back, didn't know how to do it.
	She was like watching an amateur up there, which I believe she is, kind of.
	She's not like a high-end comic by any means.
	I don't understand why they don't bring somebody in.
	They get him to do it.
	Frank Caliendo would be funny.
	There's a lot of people out there with a skill set that can handle an audience like this.
	I've always thought Frank Caliendo is the guy for this.
	Yeah.
	Whoever that is.
	Well, you know who it is.
	You just don't know his name, apparently.
	But you know who Frank is.
	Frank Caliendo would kill this audience.
	It would be fantastic.
	And it'd be good for his...
	But the premise is all wrong.
	There's no reason to have a roast when the subject of the roast is not there.
	This is the whole problem.
	You cannot win at all doing this.
	It just doesn't make sense.
	Now, what I like is that she attacked a lot of people personally, which, yeah, I like it.
	I don't know what to say.
	Yeah, I know you like it, but you're not supposed to attack people on the dais unless it is a roast about them.
	Or you're the roastie and you're condemning everybody.
	What she did was against the rules.
	Why did she go after Sarah Sanders but not go after the guy sitting next to her?
	I'm going to play a little collection of mean things she said.
	We are at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
	This is a complage.
	Like a porn star says when she's about to have sex with a Trump.
	Let's get this over with.
	It's 2018 and I'm a woman so you cannot shut me up.
	Unless you have Michael Cohen wire me $130,000.
	That was good.
	Michael, you can find me on Venmo under my porn star name.
	See, that's dumb.
	It was good already.
	She didn't have to do this one.
	Reince Priebus.
	Reince just gave a thumbs up.
	Okay.
	Mike Pence is what happens when Anderson Cooper isn't gay.
	You guys gotta stop putting Kellyanne on your shows.
	All she does is lie.
	If you don't give her a platform, she has nowhere to lie.
	It's like that old saying.
	People are clapping.
	Do you hear that?
	Someone was clapping in the audience.
	Yeah, they also took one shot of Kellyanne.
	Oh, yeah.
	She's just looking at her.
	I mean, every time they shot the audience, I saw very few people except young millennial women.
	Yes.
	Plenty of those.
	And Dana Bash.
	It's like that old saying, if a tree falls in the woods, how do we get Kellyanne under that tree?
	I'm not suggesting she gets hurt.
	Just stop.
	You know, part of her problem is this is actually how I think people talk, certainly in D.C., certainly in M5M. It's executive mode.
	You know, they talk and there's this executive mode feeling.
	We can kind of say anything.
	And she really went all in on that.
	And, you know, again, if if Trump were there, it would have been better.
	Wait, wait.
	Before you say she went all in.
	She does.
	She goes politically correct in that last joke.
	And she says, I don't want to suggest she get hurt.
	I just wanted to see her.
	She gets stuck.
	She gets stuck.
	That's fun.
	That made the joke good.
	It's kind of humorous.
	It made it good.
	What is the point of going...
	What is the point of that except to correct your...
	You said you want her to be hurt.
	This is kind of, again, we're dealing with the political correctness of the left.
	Yes.
	It takes it...
	John...
	Yeah, she saved it well, but it was just still like, wait a minute, what is this?
	Okay, so the reason I like it so much is heads explode from this in the audience, on the dais, in the shows afterwards.
	Oh...
	You know, Twitter was blowing up.
	Everyone's all upset about it.
	That's funny.
	I like that.
	I'm just gonna continue.
	Stuck under a tree.
	Incidentally, a tree falls in the woods is Scott Pruitt's definition of porn.
	I didn't get that.
	It was just a bad joke.
	There was a bunch of jokes like that one.
	I didn't get that one.
	Well, I didn't get the joke about Trump being the engine on an Southwest flight.
	What is that supposed to mean?
	Broke.
	Broke, because the engine was broke.
	Oh, because it was all the broke jokes.
	And I'm not really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
	You know, is it Sarah Sanders?
	Is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
	Is it Cousin Huckabee?
	Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders?
	Actually, I want to play the full bit of that.
	We are graced with Sarah's presence tonight.
	I have to say, I'm a little starstruck.
	I love you as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid's Tale.
	We just watched the first two episodes of the new season.
	The We Hate Christian White Males show.
	And she does.
	She does look like Aunt Lydia.
	But that was immediately, and I think, maybe not even intense.
	Look, she looks like Aunt Lydia from that show.
	But immediately, it's like, oh...
	It's talking about her weight.
	And I don't think that was the original intent.
	But that's how people are just thinking.
	Well, I would say that is the original intent.
	Not necessarily specifically, but she does have a weight joke shortly thereafter.
	Mike Pence, if you haven't seen it, you would love it.
	Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're going to get.
	You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams.
	Now, is that like a lesbian softball team joke?
	Is that what that is?
	Only a certain type of woman plays softball?
	Well, maybe.
	I didn't think of it that way.
	I just thought that she looks like the type that would have a group together and say, we're going to play softball and then divide people up.
	I guess.
	I don't know.
	I think it's like...
	I don't think it was a lesbian joke.
	You think it was a lesbian joke?
	No.
	Hello, softball.
	I think...
	Well, it's a type of woman who plays softball.
	I think.
	I think.
	It wasn't...
	Look, if I have to deconstruct it here, it wasn't good.
	I don't know, but if you ever watch those women who play softball on the college level that are on television because you don't watch sports...
	I mean, there's a couple of chubby girls there, but most of them are pretty thin.
	And this time, don't be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta!
	And I'm never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
	You know, is it Sarah Sanders?
	Is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
	Is it Cousin Huckabee?
	I like that.
	Cousin Huckabee is that kind of an incest joke from the South.
	Could be.
	Is it anti-Huckabee Sanders?
	Like, what's Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women?
	This.
	Now this.
	Oh, I know.
	Aunt Coulter.
	Okay.
	So her double payoff with Ant Coulter was dumb.
	But that was a harsh one.
	And Tina said this morning, I had the same stance.
	She says, yeah, but as you know, there's a special place in hell for women who put the scourge on other women.
	Special place in hell.
	And that was, you know, it was racial.
	It was a whole bunch of things in one.
	That was an odd joke to make.
	For white women who disappoint other white women.
	Oh, I know, Aunt Coulter.
	I actually really like Sarah.
	I think she's very resourceful.
	Like, she burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye.
	Yeah.
	Like, maybe she's born with it.
	Maybe it's lies.
	See, I think those were two jokes that you probably didn't get.
	Did she say burn fat?
	No, burn facts.
	Burn facts.
	Burn facts to create the perfect smoky house.
	She probably said burn facts.
	No, no, no.
	She didn't say that.
	No.
	But you understand the two jokes here?
	Because I think they were way too obscure.
	One is, you know, to create the perfect smoky eye.
	Yeah, she's got an eyeball.
	No, her eyeball.
	No.
	Yeah.
	What is she saying there?
	Smoky eye.
	This is a very female thing.
	Smoky eye is the makeup you put above and on your eyelid, which is usually a little darker.
	So that's smoky eye.
	And then she says, maybe it's smoky.
	What did she say?
	Hold on a second.
	Because it's like a takeoff on a Maybelline commercial.
	It was very dumb to do this.
	And then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye.
	Ah, okay.
	Got it.
	Maybe she's born with it.
	Maybe it's lies.
	Maybe she's born with it.
	Maybe it's Maybelline.
	What did she say?
	This is the other thing.
	She mumbles a lot of her punchlines.
	She said Maybelline?
	No.
	Listen.
	Maybe she's born with it.
	Maybe it's lies.
	The commercial goes, maybe she's born with it.
	Maybe it's Maybelline.
	That's the original commercial, which is from like 1989.
	And she says what?
	And then she says, maybe it's...
	Maybe she's born with it.
	Maybe it's lie?
	Lies.
	Well, maybe it's lies?
	Maybe she's born with it.
	Maybe it's lies.
	Yeah.
	That's probably why.
	You're right.
	I don't get that joke.
	Yeah.
	It's too obscure.
	Only a culture hound like myself, who also partially ran...
	Culture hound follows Maybelline commercials from the 80s.
	I know.
	So this did not go over well.
	You got me.
	This did not go over well.
	Here is ABC chief White House correspondent John Carl regarding these horrible jokes.
	How uncomfortable was it being in the room, and is there a way in which this whole situation could ultimately redound to Sanders' benefit?
	Well, I've been to a lot of these.
	I know you have too, Dan.
	And there was a lot that was good at the dinner, celebration of the First Amendment, some journalism awards, scholarships.
	I think that the comedian crossed the line.
	And this went from poking fun to being mean-spirited.
	It was very uncomfortable.
	I think that Sarah Sanders handled herself very well, considering what was coming her way.
	And I think that most people in that room were uncomfortable.
	We're uncomfortable with the direction of the jokes, no question at all.
	And certainly the only thing it will do is, you know, results probably in more goodwill for Sarah Sanders, because nobody should have to sit through that.
	This is ultimately very good for her.
	For Sarah.
	Because now she has sympathy.
	She's a victim.
	This is what you need to be.
	She's a victim.
	She's a victim.
	This is fantastic.
	She's a total victim.
	So happy for her.
	It's really good.
	I mean, John Carl was the guy sitting right next to her.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Everyone looked uncomfortable.
	Now, here is the end.
	Except, wait a minute, except the millennial women that were in the audience.
	Oh, yeah.
	They were all yucking it up.
	It was the weirdest thing you've ever seen.
	Well, I thought her parting, well, not the actual last, last joke because she flubbed the line, but what she said here I thought was the most true and just a fabulous ending to this otherwise horrible stand-up routine.
	You guys are obsessed with Trump.
	Did you used to date him?
	Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him.
	I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you.
	He couldn't sell steaks or vodka or water or college or ties or Eric.
	But he has helped you.
	He's helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster and now you're profiting off of him.
	And if you're going to profit off of Trump, you should at least give him some money because he doesn't have any.
	Trump is so broke, he grabs pussies because he thinks there might be loose change in them.
	It's stupid.
	It was unnecessary.
	She was doing something really good there.
	She was pushing everyone's nose in it.
	And then she's like, what kind of payoff is that?
	I thought there was a loose change in it.
	That's dumb.
	That was too bad.
	That was too bad.
	But I liked it.
	She was telling them that she was speaking truth to power.
	I heard it.
	She was speaking bad jokes to power.
	Here's one little red carpet snippet I caught.
	Don Lemon, the overnight sensation at CNN, who loves dressing up.
	He happens to be gay, by the way.
	Let's go to our Kate Bennett.
	She is on the red carpet with, look at him looking dapper and Kate looking gorgeous, Don Lemon.
	Hi, friends.
	Hello.
	We have definitely got a non-nerd here.
	Breaking the rules of...
	I'm kind of nerdy.
	Breaking the rules of nerd prompt.
	So what's it like being here this year in this era, the second, you know, Trump White House Correspondents Dinner?
	It's actually very interesting, Kate.
	Last year, there weren't many representatives of the White House here.
	Of course, the president wasn't here last year.
	He's not here this year.
	All weekend, I've been running into people from the White House.
	I ran into Kellyanne Comby like four times.
	She was just around here.
	I ran into Spicy, Sean Spicer.
	Spicy.
	Ooh, he has a nickname for him, Spicy.
	A couple times today, and it's weird just like seeing them out and about with the media, because you know what they say about CNN, supposedly we're fake news, but...
	We only got turned down a couple times, I won't say by whom, on the coverage.
	Got turned down a couple times, I won't say by whom.
	Oh, well.
	So, this is a very pop culture time, though.
	People are talking about Kanye West.
	They're talking about the president.
	Like, what's happening, do you think, out there in the world?
	Well, you know, whenever you have a black guy, you've got to bring up some black culture.
	That's what you do if you're a journo.
	Oh, I think I'll ask him about Kanye.
	I've gotten a lot of questions about, here on the red carpet and just people in general, about Kanye West.
	And I've said the same thing.
	Tonight is about the free press, about freedom of speech.
	Kanye West is free to speak his mind and say whatever he wants.
	But when you do that, you should realize the power of your words and the power of your platform, and you should actually know what you're talking about.
	And if you're going to support something, or if you are supporting something that's detrimental to your own culture as a person of color, or for me, as a person of color who happens to be gay.
	That's it.
	I know zero gay guys who would say, I happen to be gay.
	Zero.
	They would say, I'm gay.
	I'm a person of color who happens to be gay.
	Jeez.
	It was an evening of self-gender identification, wasn't it?
	Actually, I think that George Carlin does a whole bit on the use of happens to be.
	Happens to be?
	Oh, yeah.
	I recall that.
	Yeah, it happened to be.
	It just all of a sudden happened to be.
	But that is some...
	I think even in that bit, that's something that...
	People say, oh, my best friend happens to be black.
	But for Don Lemon about himself to say, he just says, I'm black and I'm gay.
	How hard is it, Don?
	Well, you can say I'm a person of color, okay, if that makes you feel better, and I happen to be gay?
	I don't know.
	I've just never heard a gay gal ever say that.
	I think we should start saying we happen to be white.
	We happen to be podcasters.
	We happen to be male.
	I happen to be straight.
	To be straight.
	To be a straight white man.
	Whoa!
	Yeah.
	Yeah, this is where it's going.
	I just happen to be straight.
	That's right.
	What are you going to do?
	Nah, it's nothing to be done.
	Well, overall, the thing was a bust.
	Yeah, it was.
	Yeah.
	You know, I think your initial premise at the very beginning of this block was correct.
	This is something that's outlived its usefulness.
	I think Trump is making it clear.
	Trump went out and gave a stump speech.
	A very good one.
	I watched it.
	I was very...
	It was good.
	I mean, he still has the ability to do these speeches and hold an audience for an hour.
	And he, I think, has killed this thing.
	I think it's got to reorg in some other way and stop doing this bit.
	The bit is...
	Especially to a connected world, a network group, people on Facebook and Twitter and the rest.
	It's not...
	It's archaic.
	It's like, why are these guys intermingling the way they are?
	They're all buddy-buddy.
	They're supposed to be covering each other.
	And they've already lost...
	You can't really cover each other if he's your best friend.
	Well, you know, this thing...
	And I would argue this is really...
	You saw the swamp...
	If we can speak of a swamp in D.C., a part of the swamp which is starting to dry up as, you know, now the president doesn't go there anymore, but the celebrities also aren't going.
	They don't want to be mixed up in this.
	I didn't see a single celebrity there.
	Ah, yes, I saw one.
	Who?
	Carl Reiner.
	Yeah.
	Seriously, I saw Carl Reiner holding court.
	Oh, yeah.
	The rest of them were just the same old blowhard you see all the time.
	I saw...
	That Desjardins girl from...
	No, not Jenny.
	The front PBS girl.
	The PBS girl with the big nose.
	She is extremely petite.
	Oh, really?
	Huh.
	Yeah, she's very small.
	She's almost like anorexic girl.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I didn't know that.
	And there's a lot of other people that kept showing around.
	They had the...
	Adam Schiff was tall, I guess, or tall enough.
	That he's roaming around looking like the constipated turtle.
	Very funny.
	And you can see other people there holding court.
	But yeah, no, Karl Reiner is the only celebrity.
	I saw no celebrity females and no others at all.
	Yeah, you're right.
	They gave up.
	Yeah.
	So, you're right.
	It's an arachno...
	What is it?
	Arach...
	Archaic.
	It's old-fashioned.
	An anachronism.
	An anachronism.
	It's old-fashioned is what it is.
	They need to stop.
	They just need to stop.
	It's no good.
	And it's pathetic.
	It's borderline pathetic.
	The comedian they brought on to do the last...
	This should be the last time this is ever done.
	It's like you just signed your own death warrant.
	Yeah, and yes.
	Yes, it probably won't be televised.
	Well, C-SPAN will still run it, but it won't be televised because people don't want the embarrassment anymore.
	And they'll use Michelle Wolf as the reason and where they'll get someone.
	How can you...
	Next year's comedian, if they do it, will be so safe.
	It's over.
	How broke is he?
	Well, he broke your correspondence dinner.
	Right?
	Right?
	I got a little bit on Iran.
	I figured it out.
	Geez, I was...
	You know, I've been on this quest to figure out...
	Oil pipelines.
	No, it's not.
	I mean, ultimately, everything has to do with oil or resources, ultimately.
	But we've had the president continuously, you know, mentioning Syria, Iran in one breath.
	In fact, here's a little bit I picked up from this week.
	In our meetings today...
	This is when he was with Angela Merkel.
	...cancellor and I discussed Iran...
	The Iranian regime fuels violence, bloodshed, and chaos all across the Middle East.
	We must ensure that this murderous regime does not even get close to a nuclear weapon and that Iran ends its proliferation of dangerous missiles and its support for terrorism no matter where you go in the Middle East.
	Wherever there's a problem, Iran is right there.
	They're right there.
	So, after the show, a number of our producers sent me messages, and my assertion was, hey, hold on a second.
	We're seeing cryptocurrencies spiking when Iran comes into play, even though we're bombing stuff in Syria.
	The Iran deal is set to be continued or changed or done away with entirely on the 15th of May.
	What exactly is the problem with Iran?
	Why are we stirring up stuff there?
	And then we learned, obviously, that CIA Director Pompeo had been...
	I'm sorry.
	That's North Korea.
	I didn't mean to say that.
	It's one of those mornings.
	So, I've been looking at what is the actual reason for the Iran hate?
	You know, the regime, etc.
	Is it really terrorist financing?
	It's much worse than that.
	They have committed the ultimate sin.
	Here's Press TV. That's an Iranian outfit, isn't it?
	Press TV? Yes.
	Can I make a guess?
	Sure.
	It has to do with currency.
	Iran has banned importers from using the U.S. dollar as base pricing currency in import documents.
	Iran says pricing in import documents should be based on non-dollar currencies such as euro as well as the national currencies of major exporting countries.
	The move is seen as part of Iran's efforts to ditch the greenback.
	Iran has no access to the dollar due to years of U.S. primary sanctions.
	The country was expected to be given access to dollar when it sealed a landmark nuclear agreement with P5 Plus 1 back in 2015.
	United States officials at the time said Iran would be given access to the dollar in line with the nuclear agreement.
	But America's failure to deliver on this promise made Iran move away from the hard currency.
	Iran will join Russia and China that are pushing ahead ambitious plans to become independent from dollar.
	Iran says already receiving oil payments in currencies other than dollar.
	The policy is already being praised on social media.
	Many believe Iran is in the right direction.
	And some say the country should have taken this measure long before.
	I really appreciate the background music for this particular report.
	That was well done.
	And so I had part of it right.
	I thought, well, the Syrian thing, people knew about it because that happened on April 14th.
	On the 13th, Bitcoin and, of course, all cryptocurrencies start to move in tandem with Bitcoin.
	But this, now know the timeline, this announcement, I think came on the 11th or the 12th.
	So, it is also possible that Iran said, hey, media, we, uh, screw this, screw the dollar, we're gonna go with other currencies, we'll take the euro, and that news had to be stopped.
	How do you stop big news like that?
	You bombed the shit out of some place.
	So I think that we should, since this is kind of your beat, this bit, you should remind people Of some of the other people, big names, who tried to pull this stunt.
	Superstars like Gaddafi.
	Gaddafi!
	Yeah, didn't he try to do the gold dinar?
	And wait, who was the other guy?
	Something like that.
	The other guy was, what was his name again?
	Oh yeah, Saddam Hussein.
	The Iranian dinar.
	The Iraqi dinar.
	Sorry, Iraqi dinar.
	Yeah, it's not a successful strategy for a long living.
	No, if you want to live a long life, don't start messing with the U.S. dollar.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	I think you're dead on on this one because it's still about oil and pipelines.
	It's at the end of the game, but at the beginning of the game, there's still this U.S. dollar issue.
	The only thing we're letting slide a little bit, which is something I've disagreed with, You on, specifically, which is the use of the pot of money called the SDR, the Special Drawing Rights, which is set up by the IMF or one of these groups, which has a mix of money, but the dollar is still the main item, and you pull the plug on the dollar.
	The problem is the entire world's economy.
	It's based on the fact that it's run by the dollar and this huge deficit which we can't afford to pay.
	And if the underpinnings of the dollar are pulled out from under us, then we have to pay this deficit.
	Now what if, as an insurance policy, so you and I are elites, we hang out with the SDR crowd, with Fifi, and we're up at the upper echelons, we're talking about this issue.
	And, you know, we like America.
	We want America to be strong.
	But, you know, we're globalists.
	So we really want to be on top of everything.
	We want to be in charge of the whole shebang and not give it to just, you know, the U.S. president.
	Forsee what these idiots in America did.
	They elected the orange clown.
	This was no good.
	Yeah.
	So maybe we'd sit around with our buddies from the NSA and CIA talking about who we're going to kill or how we're going to keep control.
	But you know what?
	Insurance policy time.
	Why don't we create another currency?
	And we'll make it so no one really knows who created this.
	And we'll let that sit for a while, and we'll spike that, and we'll start to have people use it as money.
	And maybe we have some control over it, or maybe we can actually decode the hashes because we have the computing power.
	I don't know.
	But you'd think that Bitcoin could be a very interesting play in this game.
	Well, there's some theories out there, and unfortunately, because I didn't know you were going to go in this direction today, because I left out my Bitcoin clips.
	But there are some theories out there that the whole thing is a scam to get people to throw in, especially at these higher rates, and pretty much break themselves to get money out of circulation.
	Possible.
	Very possible.
	I mean, there's a group of people out there that are basically suckers.
	They're patsies.
	Everybody wants digital currency.
	I mean, the central banks, everybody wants this.
	And there's that element in play.
	Then now, when you say everybody, you're making a mistake because I'm not one of them.
	No, I'm talking...
	Hello, we're still up here with the elites.
	Hello, we're up here talking to Fifi.
	Okay, well, do you think the elites are thinking that way?
	That they actually believe that everybody wants digital currency?
	No!
	No, they!
	They are everybody.
	No, I'm saying, do you think...
	Okay, I'm an elite.
	You're an elite for the moment.
	Do you think that the two of us as elites are...
	Genuinely thinking that people want digital currency?
	No, no, no.
	The people who are staunchly against it, who really hate the whole idea of digital currency, they're the ones we dupe with the Bitcoin, which we secretly control.
	Ah, yes.
	Yes, we can dupe them because they're...
	Dupable.
	Hey, look at the $1,000 pieces of hardware.
	Now, the funny thing, the irony of this duping...
	Is that that is digital currency.
	If you're someone who's just around saying, I like cash.
	I like cash.
	Yeah.
	Why don't you buy gold?
	If you really like something you can put in your pocket and take what you can put under the mattress, you can't do any of that with a Bitcoin.
	It is the epitome of digital currency.
	Well, I don't have to tell you who the gold bug is in the family.
	Well, there's that.
	Yes.
	Mm-hmm.
	The gold bugs are going to make a comeback.
	I think the gold bugs have been put in a position where they've been marginalized, but I don't think that's long-term.
	I think that's just a short-term thing.
	I think gold may be the way.
	We should all start thinking about gold.
	And you know me.
	For 10 years, I've not said that, but I'm starting to say it now.
	Right.
	And who was saying it 10 years ago?
	Yeah, what has it gotten you?
	I won't go into the details.
	But from a value standpoint, when I was talking about it, and you were calling me a gold bug in a nut job, it went from $700 to $1,500.
	Pretty much doubled.
	Yeah.
	And what is it now?
	$1,100, $1,200?
	Where is it?
	No, it's about $1,300.
	Oh, $1,300.
	Okay.
	$1,300, maybe $1,300, $1,300, something like that.
	But forget all that.
	Forget that.
	I'm just looking at the big picture and possible scenarios.
	That scenario is not out of play.
	You're not the only one thinking that particular thought.
	I know.
	We still don't really know who created Bitcoin.
	We're seeing it already in the markets.
	We have all the major bourses, exchanges, saying, once we have some regulation, then we'll be happy trading cryptos on our system.
	They'd be crazy not to.
	Their lunch is being eaten by these fly-by-night operations that are Doing trading, you know, put up trading systems.
	I mean, there's thousands of them.
	It's just insane.
	So, you know, they all see the writing on the wall.
	Now, it's still not money to me.
	And I would hate to have to, you know, base my life on it.
	You know, it's like, hey, pay me in Bitcoin.
	Maybe I can pay the rent or I just might miss it if it goes down too much.
	But I can totally see them trying to stabilize this and moving everyone over and really controlling it.
	Yeah, and pulling the rug out from under.
	Let's wait until Jamie Dimon really comes back on it.
	No, just control.
	We don't have to pull the rug on anybody.
	Just have control.
	Have control.
	The control is being built into Bitcoin now.
	If anybody thinks the banks...
	I'm going to go out with a whimper.
	No, of course not.
	They got to have their heads up their ass.
	These bankers run everything.
	Yeah, but that's why I'm looking at this as a very viable theory.
	And we still have, I don't think Trump is a part of this plan.
	And he's like, oh, we got to protect the dollar.
	So that's what Iran is about.
	But it is interesting that the cryptos are the things where you can really track it.
	So I'm looking at that now.
	All right, so let's go back to Trump in Michigan.
	And I think I've spotted a couple of new things.
	Now, Trump is still good at holding the big audience.
	If anyone thinks the guy's losing it, he's crawling around like Nixon did the last days, supposedly, in the White House, I don't see any evidence of it in his speech.
	The same kind of speech.
	Holds an audience, does a really good job of cajoling them and getting them to yell stuff like, I love you, Trump!
	How about, no bell, no bell, no bell!
	Yeah, no bell.
	That was a good one.
	That was great.
	I figured out what his new angle is going to be based on a couple.
	I got four clips you can play.
	I don't know how many you want to play.
	One of them I thought was kind of interesting because I never heard the story before about the British Embassy.
	Actually, the British Embassy story is interesting because it gives a little hint as to his new direction politically insofar as how he's going to appeal to the public at large.
	Let's play that.
	Reading about it.
	So the embassy.
	But it's not that.
	Look.
	It's opening in a month.
	Now, as you know, in the UK, in London, we had the best site in all of London.
	The best site.
	Well, some genius said, we're going to sell the site, and then we're going to take the money and build a new embassy.
	That sounds good, right?
	But you have to have money left over if you do that, right?
	So they sold the site for like, I think, and I'll check the numbers because they'll say, oh, he misrepresented, but these numbers are close enough.
	They sold the site for like 250 million.
	They think they're geniuses.
	They go out and they buy a horrible location.
	And they build a new embassy.
	That's the good news.
	The bad news, the embassy costs over a billion dollars.
	So now what do we have?
	We have an embassy in a lousy location.
	And I was supposed to cut the ribbon.
	I didn't do the deal.
	It was started by Bush and Obama.
	It was a Bush-Obama special.
	But it could have been stopped by Obama.
	It would have been stopped by me.
	So they have...
	Listen, they have...
	So I said, what kind of a deal is that?
	You sold this great site!
	It's the best site in London.
	Literally.
	The best site.
	They were so happy they got $250 million or whatever.
	But they spent all of that money plus a lot more to build a new embassy in a lousy location.
	So, I don't know, folks.
	We need a whole new thinking here.
	We need a whole new thinking...
	We need a whole new thinking.
	We're going to finally put America first, okay?
	Hey, does this embassy have a green zone?
	I mean, how big is this place?
	Well, you have to remember, this is a Bush...
	I like the use of the word, a Bush-Obama special.
	Which is, I think, when I play the next clip, I think I've seen where he's going to go with his targeting over the next period.
	But he, this was a period after 9-11 when Bush, and they were still in Iraq, and they were building that monster, the Green Zone monster.
	Yeah, which was multi-billion dollar with a big green zone.
	Multi-billion dollar embassy, you know, which I think they've half abandoned now.
	And it's, More or less of a spying.
	It's more like a CIA office.
	And so they built this thing in London out in the middle.
	They did have a great location for their old embassy.
	You've probably been by it.
	And they moved this thing to some, you know, it's like one of these brick, not brick, but a big cement, ugly looking piece of crap, which they've been building all over the world.
	These embassies are not anything to be proud of in terms of their appearance.
	They're more like bunkers.
	They're like bunkers, they're secure, they have, you know, they got this, supposedly the Russians can't drop bugs all over them or whatever normally goes on.
	And it costs a lot of money.
	And this is during that period where it was freaky and they're all paranoid, and that's the Bush administration.
	Obama could have put a stop to it and he didn't.
	Has this thing been done by some high-end architect?
	That's what it looks like.
	I don't know.
	It should say in the picture if you look at the picture.
	So let's go to where I think Trump's going to be head.
	This is Trump in Michigan blaming the new target.
	With the European Union last year.
	You know, it sounds so nice.
	The European Union.
	You know why?
	I mean, they literally did, like I said, they formed to take advantage of the United States.
	And I don't blame them.
	You know what?
	I don't blame them.
	I don't blame President Xi.
	I don't blame Prime Minister Abe of Japan.
	I don't blame the heads of these countries for taking advantage of us.
	I blame past presidents and past leaders of our country.
	Wow, that is possibly the most American-type message you could give to the world leaders.
	Yeah, he goes on with the stories.
	That's very interesting.
	And I've heard him ramp this up, and this is totally his new thing.
	It's like, hey, world, we may have screwed you, but it was those guys.
	New sheriff in town.
	And I think this could be effective.
	Because we've seen no, you know, especially with Bush, who nobody really liked, except, I mean, there's some diehards, and the Christian right liked him quite a bit.
	And Obama, which was really pretty much the black community, loved the guy to the end.
	But generally speaking, and I don't know about Clinton, but these presidents aren't necessarily liked, and they're seen as douchebags by some circles.
	But no one's ever actually gone after the past presidents the way this guy looks like he's going to do.
	No, it's not done.
	It's like a not done type of thing, which is why he's doing it, I'm sure.
	Well, maybe it's going to work because it sounds like it might not.
	There's more to that clip, I believe.
	Yeah.
	He starts ramping up.
	You can see where he's headed.
	And you have to look at these speeches he does to the stadium audiences.
	And by the way...
	I watch this stuff and it's just like, if this guy isn't a reincarnation of Mussolini, I do not know who he is.
	Wait, wait.
	He does this thing.
	I've never seen any impressionists do it.
	But you've seen him do it.
	He does it when he sees it.
	The profile.
	He jerks his body over and he doesn't just turn his head.
	He moves his whole body over about 45 degrees and then turns his head and stares something at a direct angle at someone or something with a very stern look.
	And he usually does it to the left.
	He does it to the right once in a while, but it's almost always to the left.
	That's his good side.
	And he'll do this, and he poses it.
	Yes.
	And it just looks like Mussolini.
	People have got to go back and look at Mussolini.
	You've mentioned this several times.
	I'm in complete agreement.
	But the idea of criticizing previous presidents is going to drive people apeshit.
	Because now they think it's extremely un-American to do this.
	I think it's very American to do this.
	Hey, we screwed up with those guys.
	Look, they did it with Carter, and Obama did it with Bush.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, Bush did it with Clinton.
	Not to this level.
	No, not to this level.
	He's blaming all of them.
	Yeah, but he's saying to the world leaders, hey, we killed your people, and it was that other guy.
	Come on, this is genius.
	I was in China.
	And I was making a speech.
	And I was saying how bad it is, how unfairly we're treated.
	And I'm in front of thousands of people from China.
	And I could see the mood was getting dark.
	And I have President Xi over here.
	And I realized, I was going point after point how bad it is for us, how good it is for them.
	They became a major power since the World Trade Organization, which is a horror show for us.
	Horrible.
	And I looked at President Xi, and he's the boss.
	He's the guy.
	I said, but it's not your fault.
	It's not your fault.
	It's the fault of the representatives of the United States who allowed you to get away with it.
	I don't blame you, right?
	Right?
	Wow.
	You know, there's got to be some research, certainly warfare.
	This has got to be a very powerful move to make for your base.
	You know what I mean?
	I find his approach to this whole thing, by the way, is a form of old-fashioned storytelling.
	Borderline shaggy dog.
	He never quite gets the full shaggy dog in terms of wrapping things around.
	He always wraps it back because I have another instance where he tells a story and he starts going off topic.
	And I'm watching it saying to myself, What?
	Self?
	How is he going to bring this back?
	Is he going to be able to do it or is he just going to forget the point?
	Never forgets the point.
	Now, that said, he does have two prompters.
	He's not reading from them, but I think he has notes up there.
	Should we do the Chinese car?
	He's telling a story in a way that is old-fashioned and really works well and it holds an audience.
	The media just refuses to deal with this.
	But when they send their cars over, we charge them almost nothing.
	Let me give you a great example.
	It's so simple.
	China.
	So, when they send a car into the United States, of which they send many, including parts, and you people know something about the car industry, because I'm bringing it back to the state of Michigan.
	Right?
	I don't know, man.
	So...
	So I'm bringing it back.
	And, you know, Chrysler's moving back to Michigan from Mexico.
	We saw that.
	Some of you are beneficiaries of that one.
	Thousands of jobs.
	We have many, many car companies.
	You see what's going on.
	Toyota, many companies are opening up in Michigan.
	Hey, hold on a sec.
	Didn't Obama save the auto industry after the Great Recession?
	Did they just take off...
	He saved General Motors.
	Just General Motors?
	Yes.
	Pretty much.
	I mean, that's the one that needed the bailing out.
	I think he also offered money to everybody but Ford.
	Did General Motors take their money and build factories in Mexico as well?
	I think so.
	The cars are coming back to Michigan.
	The plants are coming back.
	They're being expanded.
	And by the way, do you remember?
	About six years ago, I wasn't even running.
	And they gave me an award, the Republican of the Year.
	I guess they probably, maybe they knew what was going to happen.
	I don't know.
	I wasn't running a long time ago.
	And I made a speech in Michigan, thanking them for the award, saying how horrible, how did you let this happen?
	Were all of these plants closed, moved to Mexico, they build the cars in Mexico, they sell them across the border, no tax, we lose the jobs, we lose the taxes, we lose everything.
	How did anybody let this happen?
	And guess what?
	Not happening anymore, folks.
	It's not happening.
	So now they're moving back.
	Now they're moving back.
	But let me give you an example.
	So China.
	Great people.
	By the way, great people, great country, great leader.
	Stop.
	So he started off with this China anecdote.
	Went off.
	Yeah.
	Roamed around.
	And this is when I'm watching thinking, is he going to get back to telling us a story about China?
	And he beautifully brings it back in.
	And then takes another little jump.
	Talking about how great the people of China are.
	Before he finally gets to the point.
	And it's like, it's really old-fashioned storytelling he's doing, and I think he does a wonderful job of it.
	So China, great people.
	By the way, great people, great country, great leader.
	But when they sell a car into the United States, they pay 2.5% tax.
	When we sell a car into China, number one, they don't want it.
	Because they have barriers, so they won't take it.
	But if they took it, it's a 25% tax, okay?
	So think of it.
	So think of it.
	So they have a tax that's ten times higher.
	Now what they say is, we don't want your cars, we have a barrier, but if we take them, it's 25%.
	So we're two and a half, 25.
	So far it doesn't sound good.
	What's really bad is they say, we won't take your cars.
	We want you to build your factories in China and make the cars there.
	Okay.
	All right.
	But you know what?
	Why are they wrong?
	Because now we're doing that also.
	Okay?
	Build your factories here if you want to sell cars in the United States.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Let them build them in Michigan, right?
	Michigan.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	That sounds a kind of globalist.
	Well, the other thing is most of those car makers, Honda, I think BMW, and a few others, are building cars in the United States, and they haven't been for years, way before he came around.
	And they're from South Carolina in non-union shops.
	He doesn't want to bring that up.
	And so it's not like this is a new invention or a new idea, but the way he presents it is like it's like all him.
	He does a very good job of that, and he does it in the form of these long stories.
	This event is just...
	He can do these things once a month, and people just lap it up.
	It's fantastic.
	I think he's one of the best I've ever seen do this sort of talking.
	Now, he does have one little...
	He does little needling here and there to get people off their asses.
	He doesn't get into too much of it, but he does this one stab at Stabenow, the woman that's – I think she's a senator from Michigan.
	He blasts the audience for letting her be a senator.
	I thought this was actually well done.
	They've got to be voted out of office.
	They've got to be voted out of office.
	And you have a senator in Michigan, Senator Debbie Stabenow.
	She voted against Kate Slaw.
	She voted against tax cuts.
	She votes against borders.
	She wants people to flow into the country.
	And you people just keep putting her back again and again and again.
	It's your fault.
	So you've got to get to the poll.
	And we have some great people running.
	The primary is going to be over with soon.
	But we have some great people.
	And honestly, if you want the borders to be secure, if you want to keep those big tax cuts...
	How have you done with the tax cuts, by the way?
	All right.
	He's unbelievable.
	Entertaining for sure.
	Yeah.
	Better than Michelle Wolfe.
	Definitely.
	Hey, you know, we were talking about the listener company that does the ultrasonic tones on the other show.
	Ah, yes.
	Another one of your things.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then you came back around, and I later realized why, and you recommended a movie which you had recommended in the past, which I had not seen yet, and you said it's one of your favorite movies.
	I said it's a really good movie that addresses this.
	Okay, well first, so it's Josie and the Pussycats.
	I think the reason why you came up with it is because I was talking about Lost in Space with Parker Posey, and Parker Posey is the evil record company executive in this movie.
	Yes.
	And Tara Reid is in it.
	It's got a good cast.
	It's a light comedy.
	John, WTF, bro.
	This is not a good movie.
	I never said it was my favorite.
	It's not a good movie either.
	It's not a good movie.
	And it has to do with subliminal messaging, not secret tones being transmitted.
	I said it reminded me of the movie, Josie and the Pussycats, which I believe is a good movie.
	Okay, fine.
	I gotcha.
	It's not a good movie.
	It was horrible.
	You like that crazy story about the Christian cult.
	What is that thing?
	What's her name?
	It won all the awards.
	You're a big fan of that series.
	I think it sucks.
	I don't like it.
	Hey man, just take it while you're down, okay?
	Don't try and bring me down to your level, just because I like Handmaid's Tale.
	I watch that because it is the future.
	It is where we're going.
	The Christian white men are going to take over the government and make sex slaves out of the women.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	I don't think it's even going to come close to that because...
	Because...
	Because...
	As I segue before we do the segment.
	Yes.
	Because you remember the company Real Doll?
	Yes.
	Well, they've changed their name to Real Robotics.
	Oh, no.
	Wait a minute.
	The Real Doll, for context, I first heard about it on the Howard Stern Show when he was still on FM radio.
	It's been around for years.
	Yeah, decades.
	And they make this high-end...
	At the time, I think it was $5,000.
	It's still $5,000, yeah.
	And it's a high-end sex doll.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, okay.
	And it looks like it's based on real people, so it looks like a person, although the person is always a kind of porn star and dolled up like one.
	Yeah.
	And with big...
	They're very lifelike.
	It's customizable.
	You can have small top, big top.
	It doesn't make any difference.
	It's very realistic.
	So there's...
	So they...
	KPIX or local station did a special report, which I think was an infomercial or not...
	I'm sorry, a native ad.
	Seems kind of long.
	This is only half of it.
	I only clipped it here.
	But this is the best parts.
	Oh, sorry.
	Wait, wait.
	I want to get some setups.
	They're talking about they're making these dolls into robot dolls.
	And by the way, and then they show them, this is the worst.
	And then they have some creepy owners that have five or six of them.
	And at the very end, I'm going to have to kind of reemphasize the end because it's a long clip.
	You can stop it during the, you know, not stop it, but interrupt it.
	At the very end, they have this anchor at KPIs called Elizabeth Cook.
	KPAX, the local Channel 5, always had these very attractive, kind of, I'd say, beautiful in a very subdued way women anchors.
	And they're not flashy.
	They're just really...
	Understated pretty.
	Understated beauties.
	Yeah.
	And they've had...
	Kate Kelly was the absolute best example of this.
	But this woman, Elizabeth Cook, is one of them.
	You can look her up and take a look at her picture.
	You see what I'm talking about.
	At the end, they had to do a tag at the end, and you could just see it.
	She didn't want to do it.
	She didn't like the story.
	She didn't like the way they were presenting it.
	And they threw it to her at the end, so she had to do a rap.
	And she was so irked just rapping.
	You can't hear it as much in her voice as you can see it in her eyes.
	And you know that she was not talking to anybody after this.
	This story was extremely irksome to women in general, and you can see why.
	Now they're adding AI and robotics to their stables.
	The inspiration for integrating AI and robotics was always in the back of my mind.
	I mean, when I made the initial doll, I immediately thought how amazing it would be if it could move and sort of come to life.
	It makes it better.
	It makes it more realistic.
	It makes it more real.
	Brick, who asked us not to show his face, already owns five dolls.
	I'm very sexual.
	I can have sex every day.
	Each doll costs $5,000 to $6,000.
	What is he?
	Superman or something?
	She could have sex every day.
	How is it even possible?
	They're beautiful.
	Each and every one of them are different in one way or another.
	An AI version could cost three times as much.
	Brick is eager to get one.
	Absolutely.
	The better toy is to have the response.
	The bots will be synced up to or embedded with a special AI app.
	In the near future, the app is the one that is going to control the robots.
	Brazilian software engineers Guile Lindrith and Yuri Machado.
	You create your own girl and you just have to talk with her and build a relationship with her.
	The app allows you to create a virtual girlfriend or boyfriend on a digital device.
	You build the face, customize the body, choose a voice.
	Nice to meet you.
	Even program the personality by...
	Oh, hold on.
	Oh, I just got a semi from The Voice.
	I gotta hear that again.
	Oh my God.
	Can you imagine, guys, coming home to that, huh?
	A virtual girlfriend or boyfriend on a digital device.
	You build the face, customize the body, choose a voice.
	Nice to meet you.
	Oh, man.
	Ha!
	Ha!
	It's so lifelike.
	Even program the personality by spending points and picking among a dozen traits.
	If you really want her to be really sexual, you can spend two points on it and she's gonna be like really sexy.
	Why don't you ever get mad?
	The more you interact and share details, the more your digital friend will get to know you, your likes, and dislikes.
	What is the nickname you're going to call me by?
	Okay.
	Now, first of all, I looked up Elizabeth Cook.
	Yes, she is like Natalie Morris.
	I mean, there's no way she would stand for this.
	She is Dementia B, hating all of this.
	That's very obvious.
	She's buttoned up.
	She's very pretty, but very buttoned up and...
	She does not like this as a public...
	But I've noticed something else, because this conversation came up maybe two months ago.
	For some reason, sex...
	Maybe it was longer than that.
	Sex bots were in the news again.
	There was a sex bot thing that happened about two months ago.
	Yeah, a sex bot thing.
	And I noticed...
	That the Keeper was confused about this.
	And was asking me as a man, woman to man, questions about, you know, does that turn men on?
	All these questions.
	Like, no.
	Not anyone I know.
	Now I'm realizing, maybe she didn't realize it, I believe that there is an underlying anxiousness with women about these sex bots.
	And I think we need to keep our eye on it.
	I agree with this.
	Because, first of all, I mean, to any sane guy, I think, I mean, what, I don't know if, look, I'm a podcaster.
	Who am I to say anything?
	But, no, this is not a viable substitute.
	It is not a lifestyle, I think, myself or anyone I know.
	The robot's never going to get to know you.
	Exactly.
	So...
	I don't think this is going to happen, but there is a general anxiousness and maybe a little bit of fear.
	Because we live in time, you know, the mystical AI and machine learning, and I think women already, because I have societal issues about, am I doing it right?
	Am I doing the right thing?
	I think men have that too, but there's no male robots being pushed.
	Oh yeah, they're making male robots too.
	Yeah, but women won't go for that.
	And I think women are worried.
	Like, well, hold on a second.
	Maybe we're pushing this thing too far.
	I don't know.
	I think they're worried sick, and I think Elizabeth Cook exhibited that with not wanting to...
	To cap the story, she didn't want to do the tag, and I'm sure the guys are snickering, not that they do that at a TV station by giving it to her.
	But here's the question I pose to Elizabeth Cook and to other women.
	I would posit the number one sexual device in the world is the dildo slash the robotic version, the vibrator.
	Now, we've been okay with this forever.
	So, what's the big deal?
	Well, I think there's a...
	I think there's a...
	Fundamental difference between a vibrator, any masturbation tool, and a lookalike, looks like a woman, looks exactly like a woman.
	Now, but of course it was inanimate, so you had like a stuffed woman, and you could have sex with it if you were...
	A sex crazy guy who has to have sex once, a whole once a day.
	Every day.
	Every day.
	I'm very sexual.
	I'm very sexual.
	I'm sexual.
	And so I think there's a fundamental difference and I think that now adding the robotic aspect to it and then making assertions that is getting to know you.
	Yeah, that's the part where it gets creepy.
	And then you can program it to be the way you want it to be.
	In other words, the men get to tell the women how to behave.
	You're right.
	It's just, God, it drives people like Elizabeth and others up the wall for good reason.
	Blondie.
	Blondie.
	How imaginative this sex hound is.
	It's so beautiful.
	Thank you, baby.
	Soon the app will be paired with the actual robots.
	By the end of this year, we're going to have a version of our robots with everything embedded.
	I want to become the girl you have always dreamed about.
	The Robotics team is currently focusing all its efforts at this point on the neck up, on the bot's brain, so that humans can better bond with them.
	You know, they're not these nasty, dirty perverts that just, you know, can't get enough sex.
	It's really more about the companionship.
	Britt agrees.
	He runs an online forum and says loneliness plays a role.
	I also read Playboy for the articles.
	This is not about sex, baby.
	This is for companionship.
	I've talked to a lot of men on sites and women that have lost their mates of 30, 40, 50 years.
	And they're crushingly lonely.
	Wait, that's his market?
	Is that who he's going after?
	He's going after people who've been married for 40 years, dudes, and lost their mate?
	I don't know, bro.
	I've talked to a lot of men on sites and women that have lost their mates of 30, 40, 50 years.
	And they're crushingly lonely.
	It kind of transcends the whole sex thing.
	Realbotics hopes to expand beyond sex and create other roles for the bots, such as a companion for the elderly.
	This robot can keep them company and also monitor their health.
	Brick hopes, once the bot brain is perfected, that they'll make the body more interactive.
	Being able to be intimate with something this beautiful is amazing.
	In San Diego County, Julia Goodrich, KPIX 5.
	Robotics is now researching how to integrate cameras into the eyes so that the robot can actually see, have facial recognition, and track humans' emotional state.
	Well, check this out.
	It's you.
	Now...
	How come Elon doesn't work on a project like this?
	I mean, this has Musk written all over.
	He can probably turn the corner on it, for sure.
	Now, he...
	They showed the robot at the end, one of the girls.
	And by the way, all the girls look like...
	They look like very, extremely well-made-up hookers.
	Yeah.
	Without any exceptions.
	Hello.
	And...
	Yeah.
	We get to choose.
	You know, you can get...
	The hookers are probably cheaper if you can...
	But...
	Let's go back to this robot itself.
	Now, they show it talking at the end, one of the blonde robots, and it moves his mouth.
	I've got to say you.
	And when it does so, it's like the whole face, this whole rubbery face wiggles and jiggles.
	It makes you cringe.
	They really have a lot of work to do.
	Disney's been working on these talking things, the animatronics, for years.
	I don't know, 50 years, and they still can't make him look even remotely realistic.
	Hey, Madame Tussauds has people...
	Look, people go to Madame Tussauds and take selfies with President and First Lady, and they don't even look like him.
	Yeah.
	So people are ready for this.
	You know what I would do?
	I would absolutely get a sex doll, and I'll tell you what I would have my sex doll do.
	Please filter my email.
	Please.
	You're so smart, sex doll.
	Could you please just sit here and wear that and filter my email all day?
	Pull out the things that you've learned that I like and delete the things that I hate.
	Please, could you just do that for me?
	And then I'll be a believer.
	Yeah, good luck.
	Now, the other thing, the one thing they are good for, I have to say, is carpool lanes.
	They're extremely realistic.
	You can get that much cheaper.
	So, carpool lanes.
	Well, great report, John.
	Thank you from the front lines.
	That clearly was a native ad.
	There's no doubt about that.
	Oh, no.
	And that, by the way, was a three-minute clip.
	Yeah.
	And that was like a part of a six or at least a five-minute package.
	It was quite a package.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage for that package and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for Cinematic Six Doll Specialist, Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, names and knights out there.
	In the morning to everybody in the troll room.
	And I will say, Troll Room, I just wanted to say thank you very much.
	You guys do so much more than you realize.
	Like what?
	Well, it is like a constant thermometer.
	It's scrolling out of the corner of my eye.
	My best one-liners, I will freely admit, come from the Troll Room.
	They don't always have the joke right, but they often have a little germ, a little spark there that will give me just the right comedic stylings for the show.
	Yeah.
	No AgendaStream.com is where you can join in all the festivities.
	I'd also like to say in the morning to Rob Little with a Y. He brought us the artwork.
	Little Lytle?
	Well, Little Lytle.
	I said Little with a Y. He brought us the artwork for episode 1028 titled That Was Rusko.
	I got a Rusko.
	Again, people on the tweeters and on NoAgendaSocial.com saying how much they like this.
	It was the world's first anti-BS medication.
	The No Agenda, 33-milligram ITM pill, now available.
	Which I believe we got from about five years ago.
	Is that the one we had to dig and dig and dig?
	Oh, yeah.
	It's very old.
	Yeah.
	In fact, we're up to five digits now.
	So we're in the 10,000s.
	11,000s, actually, in number of pieces of artwork.
	And this was back to the, like, 5,000s or something.
	So this is very old.
	Yeah.
	Warning may cause or have the following effects.
	This no agenda anti-BS medication.
	You could experience anxiety, paranoia, confusion, uncontrollable laughter, feeling and acting with excitement activity you could not control, mood or behavioral changes, disbelief of media, advanced critical thinking, follow the money, fact tracking, hatred of your slave job, jingles and slogans you may get stuck in your head, unusual hunger for mac and cheese and feeling the need to donate.
	Bi-weekly doses recommended Sundays and Thursdays.
	Thank you very much.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can participate in that value that you contribute to the show.
	And we always like to thank people who give us money to continue.
	The greenbacks.
	Digital.
	It's pretty much all digital money.
	But we appreciate it.
	And these are our executive and associate executive producers who we like to thank kind of in the beginning-ish of the show.
	We went a little long there with your clips, but they were well worth it.
	Yeah, just today's long clip day.
	Got it.
	Sorry.
	I didn't like the idea either.
	That's what it is.
	But I figure you can interrupt them.
	Let's thank a few people for being executive and associate executive producers for show 1029.
	Tony Cabrera is at the top of the list, $391.47.
	He's got sinks.
	He says, in the morning, John and Adam, here's your latest 33% share of the shop's profits.
	Oh, nice.
	This is our...
	No agenda shop.
	The shop that makes the t-shirts.
	Yes.
	The latest t-shirt shop.
	Yes.
	Big thanks to the artists who have made it possible to keep me adding new designs to help propagate the formula.
	I'd like some new shop karma for the art and apparel website I've launched with my wife at different...
	Oh, boy, this is not going to work for him.
	It's very hard.
	DifferentTimes.com, and it's spelled D-F-R-N-T. If you can remember that, you can remember this whole thing.
	D-F-R-N-T-Times, all one word, dot com.
	Stay safe.
	I'm looking at it right now.
	How is it?
	I like it.
	There's some interesting...
	I mean, I'm not...
	I'm a t-shirt guy.
	Oh, she's nice.
	I'm a t-shirt guy if, you know, if it's for our show or something really outright.
	This is actually...
	They've got some phone cases.
	They've got some interesting stuff.
	It's highly designed.
	Well, maybe he's using our show, and I believe this is fine, as a kickoff, as a bootstrap.
	Yeah, that's very good.
	The bigger things.
	Very good.
	I'm all for it.
	Thank you very much.
	And look, we got a cut, which means that amount went to artists as well.
	Because that's how he rolls.
	$31.47, which is fine.
	That's probably what his wife says.
	Honey, I really like that you're giving to the show.
	Can we just do the art ourselves?
	Cut those guys out.
	Cut them out.
	You're a couple of pigs.
	Have you ever listened to those two guys?
	They're two pigs.
	And that bit they do, that executive bit, quote-unquote executive bit, what bullshit.
	That's just straight white male privilege talking.
	What bullshit.
	Yeah.
	I'll also thank James Lawler, $333.36.
	We're just kidding, Tony.
	Just making sure he knows.
	Yes, yes, we're kidding.
	JK, JK. JK, JK. James Lawler, $333.36.
	Seriously.
	Love the show and everything you guys do.
	I wanted to wait until after show 1000 to make sure you would still create this great piece of podcast art, which we have grown to love or hate, depending on your amygdala shape.
	I've been listening for about a year, and for value for value, dollar for dollar, this is worth every penny.
	Speaking of pennies, I only need $333.34 to earn a knighthood, but instead I want to put Three pennies in Adam's penny jar.
	Oh, oops.
	Did you hear the pennies going in?
	No, wait.
	Oh, there they go.
	There's one.
	So much ambient noise when you drop them in there.
	Two.
	Crazy.
	And there's the third one.
	That's very nice.
	They're all there.
	Yes, great.
	And ask for one back to put them at the $1,000 mark.
	Okay.
	As for the knighting goes, please title me as Sir Jimmy James of the Flatlanders.
	Is he on the list?
	It says he is.
	Yes, he is.
	Don't have to add this to every knighting ceremony, but bring me rabbit meat and goat milk.
	I just put it on the list.
	Feel free to toss that around the round table anytime you want.
	Keep it a great work, y'all.
	NJPK, no jingles something, for all the producers of the show.
	No jingles something for producer karma.
	Those under 50.
	Include those under 50.
	The jingle makers, which keep the laughs coming and stick in my head for days.
	And to the artists...
	You help make this show what it is and give Adam and John reason to keep broadcasting the deconstructions.
	Donate or support today.
	Perfect, James, who will be Sir James later on today.
	Thank you.
	I couldn't have said it better.
	He's doing it for the people who don't provide financial support.
	Thank you.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	You've got karma.
	And while you cue something up, I'm going to thank Stephen or Stephen Brown, Mesa, Arizona, $333.33.
	And he says, we don't want the puppy to be sad.
	Yes, this is the sad puppy.
	The sad puppy from the newsletter who just continuously is there.
	Yeah, he's going to continue to be there until something changes.
	We're still getting kind of moderate donations here.
	Yeah, Nussbaum.
	Nussbaum!
	Nussbaum. Nussbaum. Work for Nussbaum.
	Archduke Nussbaum in the Virginia Beach, $318. dollars.
	This is winnings from playing pick three, which includes, in his case, the number 33.
	Hello.
	I wanted to do roulette, but it isn't there.
	Sigh.
	What, 33's on roulette?
	Oh, the roulette isn't there where it was gambling, I guess.
	Yeah, a lot of these casinos outside of Las Vegas don't have roulette tables.
	They have a lot of tables.
	Doesn't roulette go to 36?
	No.
	Somebody in the chat room will know.
	That's what they're there for.
	Come on, boys.
	I know there's gamblers in there.
	Sir Salvarin, Knight in Exile in Silver Spring, Maryland.
	$201.
	He'll be an associate executive producer for show 1029.
	From Sir Salvarin, Knight in Exile.
	Here's to the show.
	Hope it helps.
	Also...
	Some life and love karma.
	Studying cybersecurity, etc.
	A lot of balls in the air.
	Looking to move forward and up to the next stage.
	Thank you and keep your own balls rolling.
	Virtual reality.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Patrick Comer, 200 bucks.
	I am donating for May Day.
	I feel like every newsletter states there are poor donations.
	But this time I felt compelled to donate and keep the show going.
	Deconstruction has been fantastic lately.
	Please keep up the good work.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Sir Tyler Fox in Cedar Park, Texas.
	$200.
	He'll be our last guy, I believe.
	Phone battery, 33% as I climbed into bed.
	I knew that I had to do.
	Happy May Day, Guardians of the Reality.
	NJNK, I just love an Austin meetup someday.
	Hello, Adam.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	I have to coordinate this.
	You're right.
	I'm getting it done.
	Cheers, Sir Tyler Fox.
	And that concludes our group of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1029.
	Thank you very much for your support of our little show here, also known as the best podcast in the universe.
	You have real titles here.
	These are actual credits.
	You can use them where credits are recognized.
	LinkedIn works.
	But you are either an executive producer or an associate executive producer of The No Agenda Show, episode 1029.
	Not something to scoff at.
	This is now archived by the Royal Library in the Netherlands, so you too will live on in infamy and forever.
	We'll be thanking more people, $50 and above, in our second segment.
	Remember, we've got another show coming up on Thursday.
	Please remember us at...
	And it's just another Sunday.
	Anything can happen, so propagate it, baby.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out.
	We hear people in the mouth.
	New.
	World.
	Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	I mentioned I'd...
	I'd gone out, you know, we hung out this weekend.
	We got a lot accomplished.
	And we also went shopping.
	We went to the Domain, which is the big kind of live-work situation.
	Live-work-drink-eat.
	It's kind of like an internment camp, only you are allowed to leave.
	You should look it up, the Domain, in Austin.
	I'll look it up while you discuss it.
	That's right, baby.
	I'm OTG. Welcome to the domain, a shopping center.
	This is a mall.
	No, no, it's not a mall.
	It's all separate shops.
	The motto at the top of the page is, find it, love it.
	That's pretty much it.
	Now, so you have stores at street level, and people live above the stores.
	They have a bunch of pictures.
	They have one of those things that scrolls across, and all the models wear sparse makeup, and they have a whole bunch of moles all over their face.
	I don't know if it's a new look, I guess, an Austin look.
	I don't know.
	They got the Brass Tap craft beer bar.
	I think it's a hipster look.
	And we have a lot of young people living in Austin for the tech companies.
	Most of them are in support or some kind of support services because of our tax policy here.
	Very attractive for Silicon Valley companies to put them here.
	And they're now riding scooters on the sidewalks downtown.
	So a lot of them live up there because their campuses are outside of the core city itself.
	What do you mean by up there?
	Oh, it's north.
	It's north of Austin.
	Okay.
	It's not in Austin?
	Well, yes, it is.
	But Austin, if you look at how big Austin is, it's big.
	Okay.
	You know, it takes us...
	I'm trying to paint a picture for the listeners.
	I'm cool with that.
	It takes us 25 minutes or 30 minutes to get up there.
	Wow.
	Mm-hmm.
	That's a long way.
	You walking?
	Not by Texas standards.
	Texas standards, not too bad.
	But it was an excellent opportunity for me to test my latest device as I'm trying to get off the grid, and with that I don't mean that I have any idea or any thinking that I can hide from security agencies and hackers and the black helicopters, and we know they're doing it, but...
	Okay, can I just stop for a second?
	I'm going to...
	I'm looking at the webpage.
	You got me looking at the webpage.
	They have a Domino's.
	They have an Aeropostale.
	Oh, yeah.
	This sounds like a mall.
	But it's not...
	But you have to understand the layout of it.
	It's a mall turned inside out with people living there.
	Ah, this is a mall...
	I think...
	I don't want to interrupt your whole thing here, but I think that's the modern way to go.
	It reminds me of...
	We have a street in Emeryville that's like a mall, but it's actually a street that you can park on.
	Yes.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And on both sides, but it's a mall.
	It's like an inside-out mall.
	I think that's the best description of it.
	It's kind of like living downtown, where you have shops at street level, and then above those shops are condos, apartments.
	Yes, same thing here.
	Except they have height restrictions, I believe, so maybe it's tops, maybe 10 stories, I think.
	Well, these are shorter.
	But yeah, I mean, and you can walk from one side of the mall to the other.
	And it will take you, you know, a good 30 minutes maybe, depending on, yeah, just which, if you go diagonally or...
	Is there anything indoors at all?
	Well, all the shops are indoors, but that's it.
	I mean, it's...
	And they got an Apple store, they got a Windows store.
	No, when I mean indoors, I mean are the shops inside another enclosure?
	No, no.
	But all the shops are standalone stores.
	All right, continue.
	Sorry.
	The whole place is filled with MILFs, pretty much.
	Ah!
	Yeah.
	Oh, you must have been in seventh heaven.
	Oh, please.
	She must have been giving you the elbow the whole time.
	I'm walking with the number one MILF, baby.
	I don't need to be looking anywhere else.
	Yeah, she's elbowing you constantly.
	You must have a sore rib.
	No, we were enjoying walking around.
	But I took extra special joy out of the latest device I am testing, not to stop the security services and intelligence agencies from spying on me, but to stop giving data away that is either being abused, misused, or eventually will be used against me.
	That's what I'm doing.
	And you have the John C. Dvorak system, which you can grouse about later if you want, which is just don't do anything, don't leave the house.
	It works.
	It's a very successful strategy.
	It works.
	So I had, remember, I had a couple of different devices come in.
	I already tried the Nokia C3, and the problem with that is it only had 2G. Now I received the ZTE Z431 device, which I think at the time was only sold by AT&T. It looks a bit like a BlackBerry.
	It did have 3G. This was great.
	It fired up and I could do text messaging and I could...
	And by the way, this was like a $20 off of eBay.
	So it came in a box which had been shrink-wrapped again because this thing had been, you know, like they'd driven a car over it.
	I mean, it was all scratched.
	Refurbished.
	Yeah, refurbished my butt.
	It was really...
	It smelled.
	Actually, you opened the box, it didn't smell.
	It smelled like cigarettes.
	Some old ham operator emptied out of his closet and put it on eBay.
	However, you do not want to...
	You want to be very careful if you're looking for an OTG device because you want a browser.
	That's really all you need if you want to be able to have some form of browser, text messaging, and phone calls.
	That's all you need.
	And minimum 3G, 2G just is getting phased out too quickly.
	And the browser is hard-coded to a defunct AT&T mobile website.
	So whenever you fire up the browser, it says, I can't reach this site, and then it quits.
	Yeah, it's really bad.
	Wow.
	Hey, thinking ahead there, AT&T. I like it.
	Yeah.
	Oh, you know, there is so much when you – so my next device, which is I think the one I'll probably wind up staying with because I've had it and I really enjoyed it and I remember how much I enjoyed it.
	I got my – and this cost me – this was much more expensive, $79, I think, Nokia E71. This device, it is a classic.
	It's built like a truck, too.
	It's very well made.
	It's very comfortable in your hand.
	It's not something you're going to drop.
	It's a decade-old technology.
	It is.
	3G has a browser in there.
	This one also, believe it or not, was hard-coded to some stupid-ass proxy.
	Luckily, I could still download the Opera browser.
	I'm okay with that.
	I think there's tracking in there, too, particularly with some of the moves they've made.
	They've had deals with Google.
	But really, I only need it just to look at some things from time to time.
	It has an IMAP email client in it.
	It works perfectly.
	I haven't been able to get picture messaging working perfect with everybody, but I don't really care that much.
	It's worked so well for me that we're...
	We're out at the domain, and we sat down for a drink.
	It was the first time I touched my phone all day.
	And I said, oh, let me just see what's going on.
	And I get a text message from you.
	Newsletter.
	Text message came through.
	Great.
	Open up the IMAP client.
	You know, it takes a little while to connect.
	It's not fast.
	I got your dock.
	I open it.
	Nokia has some kind of office-like suite.
	I didn't have to edit anything in the dock because I had no changes.
	I was able to reply to you, and I was done, put it away, and as far as I know, I'd leaked much less data.
	No one knew exactly where I was.
	You know, they weren't putting Canvas profile tracking on me.
	A whole bunch of things that were just beautiful about it, and I could actually get the work done.
	What is surprising to me, I recall very well, I had the E71 when the iPhone 3, the first iPhone came out.
	No, that was not the iPhone 3.
	The first iPhone came out.
	The iPhone.
	The iPhone, yes.
	That's 2007.
	Yeah, and I had this Nokia.
	Yes, you did.
	I had one too.
	And I was like...
	I still have mine.
	Your E71 or your iPhone?
	Yeah.
	The E71. Oh, you should grab it, man.
	The thing is great.
	And I remember thinking, wow, I don't know if I could ever give up this keyboard.
	I mean, it's the tactile buttons.
	And this was the thing.
	Yeah, you bailed out.
	Yeah, there's a joke there.
	Well, I remember it being...
	The beginning of the iPhone was not all that easy.
	It didn't have great autocorrect, if at all, at the time.
	I can't really remember.
	Yeah.
	And I just remember it was a little bit of a struggle, but let me tell you, after, what now, a good decade of software keyboards with autocorrect, although that's becoming a problem for me, certainly when you try to do two languages in one sentence.
	I use voice.
	Oh, that doesn't work for me at all.
	The voice stopped working, at least Siri.
	For someone who doesn't want, you know, who's like, oh, I'd never have a listening device in my house, you're actually talking to Google Assistant to transcribe stuff for you, for text messages?
	Yeah.
	You're leaving quite a footprint there.
	Voice print, should I say.
	Yeah, probably a big carbon footprint, too.
	Anyway, it, what was I going to say?
	Yeah.
	You confused me.
	Yeah, Trump could follow.
	He'd be right back on it.
	He's older than you.
	Come on, let's do it.
	You were saying about the keyboard and the fact that there's audit correction.
	Going back to the physical keyboard is excruciating.
	It's very slow.
	Oh, really?
	Yes.
	Excruciating.
	Now, this is interesting.
	It is.
	Because I would think just the opposite.
	No, that's why I was setting it up and you just kept telling me what a doofus I am.
	Well, I'm sorry, but what can I do?
	Sometimes you just sit quietly, you'll be happier.
	It's very hard to go.
	Same goes to you.
	Sometimes, I mean, it's crazy.
	Hold on.
	What?
	Your phone is ringing?
	No, no.
	Is it possible...
	That that phone that you're discussing is so damned old that the little membranes that make those little keyboards, which are very micro-electronic based, They just stick.
	They're no good anymore.
	It has nothing to do with it.
	This phone is brand new.
	It has never been used, as far as I can tell.
	It is purely the ease of the whole system of the on-screen keyboard.
	It's just much more advanced, much easier.
	However...
	I like it.
	I like the physical keyboard because the entire point is to not make it easy to do stuff.
	Otherwise, yeah, you're going to be sitting there typing stuff.
	Now you're like, should I post a response to this Twitter tweet thing?
	Nah, screw it.
	It's going to take me forever to type it out.
	It's a very good product.
	Very, very, very good product.
	Now, because I'm not using my phone, again, this is a perfect place to watch what people are doing with their phones.
	And women in particular, younger women, I would say, you know, in the 20 age range, but also the MILFs, they don't just have their phone.
	They are carrying their phone in their hand at all times.
	I've seen this.
	Yeah, open up the purse, got the phone squeezed in one hand.
	If they're really hardcore, they got one of those knobs on it so they can clench it with their two fingers at the same time.
	And they're walking along, looking at stuff, texting people on the phone, off the phone.
	I had two girls on the couch, on the bench together, looking at each other, but they're not.
	They're looking past each other and looking at their phones.
	It was insanity.
	Zombies.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Very.
	I've seen this effect with...
	The latest thing is people walk around with the phone in the hand.
	John, I see women, and it's predominantly women.
	No, no.
	This I've actually seen with some men.
	Have two phones.
	No.
	Yes!
	And they're doing something on the one phone.
	They're calling themselves?
	No.
	Maybe one is a work phone.
	I don't know.
	I remember the olden days before the iPhone in the early 2000s where people, especially in Europe, would have two devices because it was cheaper to message on one and to call on the other because of the way they were charging.
	So it was cheaper to have two devices and do one thing and one thing and one thing.
	Then you had people with a Blackberry-like device and the iPhone because their IT department wouldn't allow it.
	There's that, too.
	You can't connect to the office.
	Jesus, how connected do you have to be to walk down a damn street?
	John, in the stores, everywhere.
	It's become a part of their entire demeanor, and it is so bad.
	I mean, this is a national, no, an international health crisis.
	I agree, it's a crisis.
	But I'm seeing...
	I'm seeing change, and I think what we will see is this OTG thing.
	Yeah, maybe.
	I think we're going to see, and there will be a new product.
	There will be a companion phone, kind of what the light phone is trying to do.
	It'll be a companion phone that you make a conscious decision.
	I'm only going out, but I just want to be reachable for something important, like a text message, and that'll be more like...
	Nokia, which is now...
	What's the name?
	The handphone division, you know, like, they had some expiration.
	2016, Nokia couldn't sell handsets, and then they licensed it to a Chinese company, which is a subsidiary of Foxconn.
	They're the ones bringing back...
	The 3310 from Nokia with a new operating system.
	The classic.
	Completely, it's just a feature phone, but it will have 3G. I think they're on to something.
	And the idea that you'll have a companion phone, it'll have the same number.
	That's what Light Phone has already discovered.
	And this will be a big stocking stuffer.
	No, it's, you know, I don't want to say that you're completely off the deep end here.
	So I won't say that you're completely off the deep end.
	But this is bullcrap.
	There is no way.
	Those cheap phones, they're not on anything.
	They're trying to get people in the third world, especially in India and other places, who have no access to these phones, to get them.
	It's like a beginner's phone.
	You get them that phone and then you get them addicted to the other phone.
	This whole thing is a giant scam.
	There's nothing that's backing it off.
	You're completely deluded if you think that anybody besides yourself is interested in any of this stuff.
	They're already too far gone.
	And you witnessed it yourself and just admitted it.
	That's what they said to Jesus.
	I was wondering how you were going to get out of that.
	Yeah, I think that was pretty good.
	Thank you.
	No, you're right.
	People are completely hypnotized.
	But what is fun, as no-agenda producers, you do this OTG thing, and people have been sending so many interesting ideas.
	But please bear in mind, the whole concept is to make it difficult.
	You need to be able to function.
	Like, the newsletter is important to me that I can send my thoughts back so you're done.
	I don't want to wait too long before I'm home.
	And so the alert worked.
	It was the only alerts I get.
	I was able to do my business.
	It took, of course, longer than normal, especially with the keypad.
	But then I'm done.
	And I go back to observing the zombies.
	It is, I mean, you probably see this all the time, although you don't leave the house that often.
	But, I mean, once you don't have your own phone, you have no idea.
	It's beautiful to witness because you just, you feel healthier.
	You just feel healthy by watching this behavior.
	I got two more phones coming.
	I still have the Nokia Asha 210, which form factor-wise I thought was the prettiest, but I believe it's only 2G, so that's just not going to work.
	And then we have one more.
	I can't remember.
	One more device.
	So I will continue to report from the front lines of OTG. You're down with OTG? Yeah, you know me.
	You're down with OTG? Yeah, you know me.
	You're down with OTG? Yeah, you know me.
	By the way, there's one other thing I noticed at the Domain.
	And this is perhaps even more troubling than the phones.
	Dogs.
	Dogs with phones?
	Dogs in every store.
	People just shopping with their dog in the store.
	Not tying him up anymore outside.
	Just coming in the store.
	We were in a furniture store and there's a guy with a dog.
	His dog's on a bed.
	Just lay it down.
	Just lay it on the bed.
	And I think the politically correct culture has gone so far that people are afraid to say anything.
	It might be an emotional support animal, you know, so we probably shouldn't say anything.
	And this is replacing children.
	There's even signs dogs are humans too.
	I should have taken a picture of it, but...
	Ah!
	I forgot.
	Where's the picture?
	We need it for the newsletter.
	Okay, I'll get that.
	Dogs are human, too.
	No, they're not.
	They're dogs.
	At the domain.
	And they know they're dogs, which is fine.
	I'm sure we have someone at the domain who lives around there who can go get it.
	It was near Black and White.
	That's where it was.
	A couple stores down from Black and White.
	I'm sure that sign's elsewhere, too.
	Anyone out there who sees that sign, take a shot.
	But this is a real issue.
	We already have people...
	I mean, our building...
	Everyone has a dog except us.
	They have no kids.
	No one has a kid anymore.
	It's just dogs everywhere.
	Yeah.
	And not cats so much.
	It's mostly dogs.
	I wonder if my emotional support goat would be tolerated, but at the rate we're going, I think it would.
	I think it would.
	I think so.
	I think it would.
	I think so.
	But we've got to stop this.
	I've already noticed that at the restaurants, Austin is becoming central station for crazy nutjobs.
	Good.
	I've been advocating, especially around here where the homeless encampments are, that we give every homeless person in California, especially in San Francisco and Berkeley, a one-way ticket to Austin on a bus.
	Make them sign a little note saying that if they ever do come back, they have to give a report.
	But they should just move to Austin because Austin is very welcoming.
	It's more liberal than it is here, I believe, at this point.
	And I think they should just send all the homeless to Austin.
	I think it's a fantastic concept.
	Well, we know what to look forward to.
	Witness this report from your girl station there, KPIX, of the drug addicts and homeless at the BART station, the Civic Center BART station.
	This is a very sobering video to see.
	I'm frankly glad that the writer has shared this.
	That is Bevan Duffy, the BART director responsible for Civic Center Station, scene of the video we have been showing you.
	Have you seen this video of just rows and rows of homeless people, junkies, puking everywhere?
	Seen the video?
	You've seen the video.
	And I know it's because of these circumstances, and so we're going to work very hard to see a change.
	I want you to listen to this report and tell me what's extremely wrong with it.
	What would it take to have one person around the clock to prevent that kind of scene?
	Well, obviously staffing.
	That is Lieutenant Gil Lopez, the BART police officer who oversees patrols in San Francisco's four downtown stations.
	Here in downtown, specifically, we have our B structures.
	There are essentially two officers for two stations.
	Now Lopez, like BART management, says there simply are not enough officers right now to manage the flood of challenges produced by homelessness and drugs.
	Two disasters unfolding on parallel tracks just above these stations.
	It's too widespread.
	Like I say, the officers here, they're busy every day.
	Nearby shelter resident Maurice Benton says he has watched the situation deteriorate as officers race from one problem to the next, meaning some stations are often left completely unguarded.
	This is the first time I have ever seen them here, and I've come through here at different times of the day, and this is my first time ever seeing them.
	BART is trying to hire dozens of more employees specifically for these kinds of issues, but that is presenting another problem for the agency.
	BART has not been the most attractive place for candidates to be police officers to go, and we're trying to change that.
	So for now, the city is trying to offer help?
	Yes, I have seen homeless outreach people come down here to offer services.
	But so far, both the city and BART have proven no match for a human crisis that offers no easy solutions.
	Has this problem just gotten markedly worse recently?
	Yes, it has.
	So I ask you in a rare Ask John moment, but you've not only seen the video, you've witnessed this yourself.
	Oh yeah, I've been there.
	What is not only wrong with this report, what is wrong with liberal California?
	Well, I don't know what's wrong with the report because, I mean, I listened to it and I'm trying to figure out your angle.
	So I didn't catch it.
	What's wrong with liberal California is that you just can't say, hey, this is private property.
	Get out.
	Get out of the station.
	You're in a whole city.
	You can find plenty of places to shelter in place.
	Get out of the station.
	Get out of the station.
	Yeah.
	Unfortunately, you've been contaminated with the liberal California disease.
	It's okay.
	I don't know.
	You're curable.
	No.
	The whole report is about one thing.
	The only solution, apparently, that exists is more people to kick them out.
	How about we look at the fucking problem?
	Not a single person, including yourself, says, well, we've got a homelessness issue here.
	Maybe we should do something about it.
	No.
	I had to answer earlier before your report.
	What's that?
	Bus them to Austin.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	It's a known way of getting rid of your homeless problem is you put them on a one-way ticket bus somewhere.
	I take it back.
	Dvorak for mayor.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	And they'll love Austin.
	Do it at the right time of year, by the way.
	Here's your ticket.
	Your ticket is this.
	I will bus every homeless person to Austin.
	I will fill every pothole on the 405.
	I will ensure the mud flats stay dry!
	We don't have a 405 up here, but...
	You know what I mean.
	80.
	So, yeah.
	But that's not how they're thinking.
	No, you're right.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	And it's something I bitched about before, too, which is the problem itself.
	It has to be solved.
	It's unbelievable.
	Not one word.
	Hey, I would even accept it if someone said, well, let's give them emotional support dogs or something.
	Anything.
	But, yeah, we just need more cops.
	We need more transit cops to kick them out.
	And then you, you know, clearly, I mean, you know, it's in your DNA, so there's nothing you could really catch.
	But, you know, your idea is send them to Austin, which truly is the right way to go.
	Yeah.
	That's what all cities do that.
	They get free bus rides.
	Here you go.
	You're good to go.
	And Austin is wide.
	Right now, Austin's the place.
	Yes.
	I mean, I listened to you describe the situation there.
	I see it's worse.
	It has the potential to be worse than the poop on the streets city of San Francisco.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They won't know what to do about it because they're just beside themselves with liberalism.
	Yeah.
	And they will just suck it all up.
	They'll just suck all these homeless in and put a big tent city.
	I'm waiting for the shanty towns, which have yet to really appear in any big South American way.
	Yeah.
	But that's coming.
	What do you call them?
	Shantytowns.
	Favelas.
	Favelas.
	There you go.
	That's the word.
	Yeah.
	Favelas.
	That's the word you're looking for.
	Well, I have a...
	Well, thanks for that report.
	So I want to go back to, just for a little short interlude here, the Dirty 30s.
	We're still working on the four-page list.
	Oh, yes.
	These are the slang phrases which we're going to...
	And I ask you, the way the game works, I ask you what the phrase means.
	You try to come up with an answer and you fail every time.
	Okay, this is a great game.
	It is.
	For me...
	Okay, here we go.
	Butter and egg fly.
	Butter and egg fly.
	Someone who sticks around too long?
	An attractive woman.
	Hmm.
	Other terms for an attractive woman is hot mama.
	Yeah.
	Sweet mama.
	Sweet patootie.
	We need to bring that one back.
	Another one we should bring back is dish, looker, and tomato.
	I like sweet patootie myself.
	Oh, by the way, you're wrong.
	There is an answer to the homelessness problem.
	What do you mean I'm wrong?
	I didn't have an answer.
	Oh, well there isn't.
	Okay, never mind.
	My answer was ship them to Austin, but what are you thinking?
	Blockchain?
	I walked right into that one.
	You did.
	What an idiot.
	Okay, here we go.
	Ready?
	Butter and Eggman.
	An attractive guy?
	No, that's funny.
	Oh, that's a trick question!
	It means the money man.
	The man with the bankroll.
	Oh.
	Alrighty.
	Here we go.
	Buzzer.
	A buzzer.
	What's a buzzer?
	I give up on that one.
	I'll put it into context.
	The cop showed his buzzer.
	Oh, badge.
	Credentials.
	You got it right.
	Okay.
	Cabbage.
	Cabbage.
	Can you use it in a sentence?
	Yeah, the guy's got a lot of cabbage.
	Oh, his money.
	Cash.
	Benji.
	Exactly.
	Make it rain.
	Exactly.
	Cadillac.
	Cadillac.
	Milf.
	Nope.
	You're never going to get this one.
	Can you use it in a sentence?
	Okay, here we go.
	Ready?
	Yeah.
	Hey, can you get me a Cadillac?
	Oh, it's a dime bag of weed.
	Close!
	That's one ounce packet of cocaine or heroin.
	Oh, alright.
	They had that in the 30s?
	Yeah.
	Hmm, interesting.
	A canary.
	Sentence.
	Man, that's some canary.
	Great looking babe.
	Female vocalist.
	Okay.
	Cats or alligators?
	A no-win situation.
	Fans of swing music.
	Oh, yeah.
	Cats.
	Hey, cats.
	Hey, gators.
	Nice.
	All right.
	Okay, I'll do one more and then we'll put it off.
	Cave.
	Can you use it in a sentence?
	I won't use it in a sentence, but I'll say the term has been reinvigorated and is now in use once again.
	Cave.
	Basement?
	One's house or apartment.
	Oh, okay.
	Man Cave.
	Yeah, I got it.
	All right.
	Yeah.
	Oh, good, John.
	I still think the best one that we've learned so far or relearned is Sweet Patootie.
	How do you spell Patootie?
	You like Sweet Patootie.
	I like Roscoe.
	Yeah, how do you spell Patootie?
	P-A-T-O-O-T-I-E. P-A-T-O-O-T. Patoot.
	Very nice.
	Patootie.
	Very nice.
	Sweet Patootie.
	Yeah, she's a sweet patootie.
	She's a sweet patootie.
	We need a jingle for the segment, otherwise it's going to get old.
	Yes, let's get a jingle.
	It's called Dirty 30s.
	Dirty 30s.
	I have just a quick outermont to get us into our next thank you segment, Blocky.
	And we've been following, not too closely, but more interest in the NBC side of the story than Joy Reid from MSNBC, who has clearly been busted at homophobic blog posts.
	And I have a theory on this when you're done.
	Oh, good.
	Even my very liberal friends I see on the face bag, who are all in on all things, they waver a little bit.
	It's like, well, if she'd just been honest, it would have been okay, but...
	She's still pretty good.
	I'm willing to give her a pass, maybe.
	She's a gay basher.
	She's a gay hater.
	She's a homophobe.
	And she came out with a public apology.
	I have two-parter here, because one is, she went on her show and she apologized, and it was an interesting...
	I thought she first went into denial, saying some hacker somehow got into the archive on archive.org and hacked it.
	Here's how she did it.
	She did it by moving the conversation away from the fallacy that is hackers infiltrated archive.org and the Wayback Machine a decade ago and changed it and lay as a sleeper cell waiting to spring it on me.
	She's changed that to, well, I've certainly tweeted some things I'm not proud of, so now she's changed it to another thing she can't claim was hacked, namely her Twitter.
	And she offers kind of an apology.
	A community that I support and that I deeply care about is hurting because of some despicable and truly offensive posts being attributed to me.
	And many of you have seen these blog posts circulating online and in social media.
	Many of them are homophobic, discriminatory, and outright weird and hateful.
	When a friend found them in December and sent them to me, I was stunned.
	Frankly, I couldn't imagine where they'd come from or whose voice that was.
	In the months since, I've spent a lot of time.
	Have you ever had that?
	Where you look back at some of your writing and think, geez, did I write that?
	Yeah.
	I've had that happen.
	Happens all the time.
	In fact, if you're a professional writer, you put stuff aside and To let it bake.
	You said bake.
	And the problem that you run into, especially if you're using a lot of research and you intermix it, my wife has a solution for this that I forget to employ, which is to take everything alien and put it in red ink, you know, red type.
	But you put stuff aside and you look at it and you go, did I write this?
	This is damn, usually this is me, this is really good.
	Yeah.
	It's never homophobic?
	You go back and say, oh, that's so homophobic.
	I don't write homophobic material.
	Right.
	So I will agree that it is very possible if you did not highlight it in red to go back and say, damn, did I write that?
	Yeah, it's just possible.
	Trying to make sense of these posts.
	I hired cybersecurity experts to see if somebody had manipulated my words or my former blog.
	And the reality is they have not been able to prove it.
	But here's what I know.
	I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me.
	But I can definitely understand, based on things I have tweeted and have written in the past, why some people don't believe me.
	I've not been exempt from being dumb or cruel or hurtful to the very people I want to advocate for.
	I own that.
	I get it.
	And for that, I am truly, truly sorry.
	I had a conversation the other day with a friend who's also...
	You know this, I own that thing?
	I'm a little tired of that.
	That is a PC cop-out to say, I'm owning it, okay?
	I'm just owning it.
	And I hear it all the time, like, you know, is it just me?
	Am I nitpicking over this?
	I never thought about it before, but now that you mention it, it is annoying.
	I think it's annoying.
	It's kind of like, instead of saying, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.
	I apologize.
	I'm so sorry.
	Why don't you do it as a performative?
	Say, well, what I'd like to say is I'm sorry.
	You could do that, but now it's just, hey, I own that, okay?
	It's almost, it's passive-aggressive.
	Look, I own that.
	I got it.
	You don't have to tell me how bad I am.
	I own that.
	Yeah, I agree.
	And for that, I am truly, truly sorry.
	Oh, good.
	Sorry.
	Nice.
	I had a conversation the other day with a friend who's also an advocate in the LGBTQ community in Florida, who rightly took me to task for my tweets mocking Ann Coulter using transgender stereotypes.
	I apologize to my friend, and I want to apologize to the trans community and to Ann.
	Those tweets were wrong and horrible.
	I look back today at some of the ways I've talked casually about people and gender identity and sexual orientation and I wonder who that even was.
	But the reality is that like a lot of people in this country, that person was me.
	I grew up in a household that, like many in America, had conservative views on LGBTQ issues.
	Oh yeah, so then she goes into her whole history and blah blah blah.
	Okay, we get it, you did it, you're sorry, but you can't really say it, can't really admit it because you're just weak.
	Yeah.
	A douchebag.
	But then she...
	Yeah, I should actually...
	Douchebag!
	She should have said, hey, what's wrong with me?
	Right.
	But then, and this is just a compilage, which I did not put together, but I think it's dynamite.
	The whole show was filled with her guests shilling for her and turning this around to...
	But I do find it problematic, I will say, that we are jumping on you, and by we I mean, you know, many people in the media are jumping on you about words that you used, you know, used or may have used 10 years ago, but yet we allowed the president to have a complete and total past on things that are coming out of his mouth right now.
	Did she say past?
	No, she said, well, maybe, but I heard pass that are coming out of his mouth right now.
	Yes, and then they go to a clip.
	We allow the president to have a complete and total pass on things that are coming out of his mouth right now.
	I think it's so important that we double down on what, Danielle?
	Oh, no, they don't have a clip.
	Yeah, no, that's not coming out of his mouth right now.
	She's full of crap.
	Let's go to the next guest.
	His mouth right now.
	I think it's so important that we double down on what Danielle said about the media and how they jumped on this because they thought there was some blood in the water and there was going to be infighting and everybody was going to jump on Joy Reid and bring her down.
	While that was happening, we got a secretary of state who believes that being gay is a sin.
	We have...
	I keep hearing this one.
	Just flipping it on, you know, I mean, hey...
	You got your own problems.
	It's not my fault because they do the same thing.
	It's not my fault.
	They do the same thing.
	Yeah, that's exactly it.
	Homophobic psychopaths.
	Hold on.
	I love how they're going off on Pence.
	This is great.
	We have homophobic psychopaths running the United States government today.
	That's the reality.
	We have a Secretary of State, as was mentioned, that believes that gay people are sinners based on who they are.
	If Mike Pence, God bless him, ended up in the White House sitting behind that desk in the Oval Office, he would have us all in concentration camps hoping to pray away the gay.
	Woo-hoo-hoo!
	Wow!
	Ha-ha-ha!
	Praise be under his eye!
	I'm telling you.
	I mean, let's neutralize Pence a bit, huh?
	He would have us all in concentration camps hoping to pray away the gay.
	That's what we're actually up against.
	And they're not so much concerned about what Joy Reid might have said 12 years ago on a blog that has evolved now into...
	What, they should be on her show being really happy?
	Wasn't it Trump's, then that pussy comment of over 12 years old?
	Really an alliance with us.
	They're worried about what's happening right now on Pennsylvania Avenue, and they're wondering why the media didn't rain down a firestorm on these people, these homophobic psychopaths, who are derailing the conversation, turning back the clock on everything we've worked so hard on.
	So, I guess I'm just here today to implore the viewers to please stay focused.
	Stay focused on what's actually right in front of us.
	Stay focused on what's actually threatening this community.
	And that is the clown car that's in Washington, D.C. I think that's where we could have a real impact.
	I want to see that outrage really channeled where it belongs.
	And that's in Washington, D.C. I appreciate that.
	Yeah, I bet you do.
	Shame on NBC News.
	Shame on them.
	Well, now that you bring this up, I believe there's a war going on.
	And I just do it by coincidence, but let's take a look at some of the people.
	And this was triggered by the Tom Brokaw thing.
	Yes, I have some clips of that.
	Tom Brokaw, there was a very...
	I didn't get a clip, but this woman, she's on...
	Go to Variety.
	I think we should have a link to it, but...
	Well, I have some clips from that.
	I pulled some clips from it.
	Okay, why don't you pull some clips, and then I'll give you my analysis.
	Well, how about this?
	Why don't we take a break?
	This is what we call the big teaser.
	This is a big teaser.
	I'm going to show myself the mood by donating to no agenda.
	Teaser time!
	Tease, tease, tease, tease!
	Yeah, a real big teaser!
	In the morning!
	Successfully done!
	Well done, John and Adam!
	Well, and we want to thank a few people for show 1029.
	Starting with William Durkin, $133.33.
	Of course, we normally don't read notes under $200, but I will read this one.
	Good day to you.
	The past couple of shows have been...
	Awesome!
	Now that the pleasantries are over, I must bring to light a worrisome matter.
	Since donating, I've only asked for karma twice.
	This is a note I have to read.
	Yes.
	Twice.
	And both times it's backfired on me.
	So we have one of these, an anti-matter guy.
	This is a guy who...
	He's the anti-matter to your matter.
	So whatever, people all getting karma have to kind of thank him.
	I asked John for a Lexus karma for my 2006 GS300. You know, if you're going to get a GS, get something with a V8 in it.
	Get a 400.
	Upon receiving the Lexus Karma, I started to have issues with the car that cost me $1,200.
	I believe the reason John's Lexus is in such great shape, the engine.
	The dashboard, not cracked at all.
	No, actually, it's not.
	I know.
	That's the unbelievable part.
	That's the best part of the car.
	Actually, the dashboard's not cracked, and this is a 93, a 93 garden.
	I will say this, not one incandescent bulb in the entire car, dome light, rear view, headlights, taillights, backup lights, not one bulb says 1993 has burnt out.
	That's like a day trader saying, I've never been caught in a halt.
	I'm just saying, it's a fact.
	Damn.
	Anyway, he says because I or my car, my car, my personal car has drained his car's karma.
	Since this has happened, I haven't had an issue with the car.
	So now the car is fine.
	Mr.
	Curry, you're not off the hook.
	The second incident is solely on your shoulders.
	My workplace is going through some right-sizing.
	I asked for job karma.
	Instead, I got called to the health clinic for a mandatory drug test.
	That's not my fault?
	Yes, because you're the guy who's the drug guy.
	Oh.
	I've never had a surprise drug test in the 14 years I've worked at this company.
	And he says, don't worry, I passed it.
	And he says, drugs are bad.
	And the note kind of ends there.
	Yeah, well, I'm going to give him some karma.
	I'm going to give him some karma.
	Maybe not.
	No, no.
	You've got to report back to karma.
	Bert, you let us know.
	Yeah, let us know if that worked.
	James Turner in Fairhopa, Alabama.
	100.
	I don't know if he was at the meetup.
	Sir Scott of the Bikes, 9009.
	This is for the HPV douchebag ad at the end of the show.
	Yes, Sir Chris doing that as usual.
	And he's actually complimenting you for this OTG segment.
	And what does he say?
	You're years ahead of the hipsters, he says.
	That's right.
	Delusional, according to Dvorak.
	I did.
	Can I have a bet?
	Sir Sherp Gall is the only guy, I believe, if he even caught it.
	There was an Easter egg in the last newsletter.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	We forgot something very important, and I apologize for this because I was ready for it.
	9009?
	Sir Scott of the Bikes?

	Jurgen Schote in the Netherlands.
	That would be Jurgen.
	I think it would be a G, not a J. Jurgen Schote, probably.
	John Cruss, or Cruz, actually, in East Wenatchee, Washington.
	Guy Biosi, Baron of the Shapeshifting Jews, 5118.

	I like that.
	I like the Mayday donation.
	We didn't get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	We had about 10.
	What was it called?
	You call it the Revolution donation?
	What was it?
	Yeah, Revolution.
	The Special Revolution Agenda.
	It's Truth Revolution.
	Truth Revolution, yes.
	Well, there you go.
	Yeah, we got ten people.
	Once again, the truth is down at the bottom and not me.
	The truth is down at the bottom of the list.
	Matt Skiminski, David Fugizotto in Gladstone, Missouri, Brian Ward, Roger Etsy, James Moore in San Pavel, California.

	He says, hey guys, I just lost my job, so here's $50.
	Can I get some jobs karma?
	We'll put it right here at the end.
	Thank you for your future night, Occult Fan.
	And I want to go back to Juergen Schotter's note from the Netherlands.
	It's not an atypical note, but worth sharing, I believe.
	ITM Adam& John from Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	Geen Stijl and Roderick Velo alerted me to the No Agenda show after being a douchebag for over one year.
	This is my first donation, so he needs to be deduced.
	You've been deduced.
	So after being a douchebag for over one year, receiving my twice-weekly dose of media deconstruction, this is my first donation.
	Since I started to listen to No Agenda, I have drastically reduced my intake of M5M. Especially Dutch M5M is extremely biased.
	Basic principles of critical reporting are ignored and only the narrative of the day is represented.
	Sounds familiar.
	Especially when it comes to stories about American politics, the M5M still seems to be butthurt about Hillary losing the elections, even in Holland.
	No agenda helps understand what is really happening.
	Please keep up the deconstruction.
	I request sales goat karma at the end of the segment.
	All the best from the cucumber capital in the lowlands.
	So, yes, absolutely.
	That's not atypical.
	Although it's nice that the Roderick is sending people our way.
	That's very cool.
	And we have a make good for Sir DH Slammer.
	We always like to break for our nights, especially if we mess something up.
	And let's see, what did he say?
	This was actually on the note, on the spreadsheet, but we missed it.
	Could you please say happy birthday to Lady...
	Excuse me.
	Happy birthday to Lady Simona from Sir D.H. Slammer, Dame Bang Bang, Sir Andrew, and Master Emmett.
	She would be very excited if she could hear that, and hereby she did.
	So we're very pleased to do that.
	And let's hand out the karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Yes, I actually needed a goat karma there as well.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Oh, no, my chance.
	Here we are with the birthday sport today.
	It is April 29th, 2018.
	Zachary Smith-Lowers says happy birthday to his girlfriend, Annie O. She celebrates today.
	H.D.M. Terhorst celebrated, I believe, his birthday on April 26th.
	And Timothy Singleton, Sir Poolman Tim, will be celebrating on May Day, May 1st.
	Happy birthday from all your friends here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	It's your birthday.
	We have one knighting today.
	So, at least we have one.
	We haven't had knightings in a while.
	Your sword, please.
	Sure.
	There you go.
	Very good.
	Let me see.
	James Waller!

	And we indeed...
	Oh, sorry about that.
	Yikes.
	I was cleaning it.
	Yeah, well, he shot someone.
	Yeah.
	And now it's time for your sexual harassment update.
	That's right!
	Bombshell!
	Bombshell!
	Tom Brokner!
	Bombshell!
	Well, they busted this woman does the spiel.
	I pulled some clips from this.
	Okay, why don't you play those clips because this is extremely believable.
	And then again, a woman giving her testimony, and she's blasted by other women, Rachel Maddow among them.
	Ah, and she's from NBC, is she not?
	Yes, the whole thing is a lot of NBC people say, oh, Tom's such a great guy.
	Tom's defense was, hey, I'm an award winner, hey!
	And he had no real excuse.
	I've done all kinds of stuff, and I don't remember anything like that.
	Yeah, we talked about her being a Catholic.
	We're talking about being a conflict.
	And I said, what are you talking about at?
	And so this thing...
	So I've come to a conclusion.
	Let's play the clips first and I'll give you my conclusion.
	By the way, you said other women...
	Never mind, this is a bad joke.
	Okay, so I have some problems with this, with this whole piece that ran on vanity and vanity.
	Look, it is clear that they're out to get NBC, whoever they is.
	It can also just be that NBC is a huge cesspit of douchebags.
	That's completely possible.
	That is certainly the picture that is being painted.
	But I'm a little...
	It's apprehensive when you have a 20-minute piece and her name is Linda Vester.
	I see older pictures of her.
	I remember who she was.
	I don't think her career took off at NBC. I don't know where her career is.
	I have no idea.
	That's part of Brokejaw's response as well.
	She just tried to get famous and didn't work and now she's pissed off.
	There's something going on here whenever you start off your interview like this.
	For a decade, I worked at NBC News as an anchor and correspondent.
	I was groped and assaulted by Tom Brokaw, then the anchor of NBC Nightly News.
	This is my story.
	This is my story.
	Give me a break.
	I'm sorry.
	Okay, now first of all, I'm not going to condemn you for hating this.
	I believe it's possible that this was what she was coached into saying to get the thing going.
	Well, this was something that was recorded after the interview.
	Yeah, it was a prepared piece.
	So they say, well, can you tell us a little more?
	Because if you do it, you know, sometimes you get these guys that come over to the interview and say, well, you got to introduce as much as you can to the piece so I don't have to say anything.
	You're not doing a back and forth with me.
	You're doing the thing that says stand alone.
	So bring a lot of stuff in at the beginning to kind of explain why you're even talking.
	It sounds a little show busy to me.
	Well, yes, that's what I just said.
	That's what they do to you.
	Right, but she is a television person.
	She should know that it's just, I don't know, it's my personal thing.
	It doesn't matter.
	It's not a big deal.
	Let's go to the first actual clip.
	And I just pulled some pieces out that I thought were interesting.
	Factually interesting.
	I'm not saying that this didn't happen to her.
	Some of the scenarios seem totally believable.
	But remember, this is her story.
	This is her side.
	And I think there are some things if I were interviewing her, I'd like to ask about.
	And while I was standing in the Denver Bureau with my back to the door, from behind me, out of nowhere, Tom Brokaw walked up.
	Put his hands on my waist and tickled me all up and down my waist.
	It was physically unpleasant and humiliating.
	I jumped a foot.
	Okay.
	Do you really think she jumped a foot?
	Now, this is the only thing.
	I'm glad you did this clipping, this clippage.
	Because I don't know why I didn't, but I didn't.
	I found this particular little anecdote to be kind of the keystone to the whole thing.
	Some women, I have tickled women.
	And I've seen them jump a foot.
	So that's not...
	All right.
	Okay.
	I, however, make no habit of this and have never witnessed a woman jumping a foot because I don't tickle and I'm not seeing it.
	I can guarantee it happens.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	Now, the way that got me was that she obviously was not happy with this.
	And I don't know how she responded to it, but this, I believe, I don't tickle women for this reason.
	I mean, I only tickle friends that I know that I know are ticklish.
	Have you ever considered tickling a colleague?
	I don't think I've ever done it.
	Can you show me on the doll where you would tickle the colleague?
	You walked into it again.
	Okay, so...
	You want to hear the rest of the clip?
	No, no, I got to do the setup first because I want to hear the rest of the clip.
	But this is going to be my assertion.
	Is that Brokaw...
	I think he uses this tickling trick to do a check.
	Is she loose?
	It's like pinching some girl in the ass.
	I mean, guys do this.
	I don't do this either.
	But I can imagine we're pinching in the ass and she's going to maybe shrugs or shrugs.
	You don't know.
	Maybe it's a sign.
	Okay, so this is actually a predatory practice.
	I think it is.
	I believe it is.
	I think you're right.
	I think you're right.
	And so I think he was using it as his come on, and he wanted to see a reaction.
	He made a mistake.
	Yes.
	I believe by misinterpreting what she did, she found it to be humiliating, which if that's the case, if you find somebody tickling you, people have done it to me.
	Luckily, and then they find out the sad truth, which is I'm not ticklish.
	Okay.
	And so I've said, go ahead, tickle all you want, you're not going to get anywhere.
	And by the way, that is a meditative thing anyone can accomplish through simple meditation.
	You will never be ticklish if you don't want to be.
	So, I think he did this.
	Another sexual harassment tip from John C. Dvorak.
	Hey, ladies, you don't want to get harassed by your favorite news anchor.
	Take this meditative course.
	You will never be ticklish again.
	So, I think he tested her and I think she responded properly.
	She jumped and I think she probably glared at him or did something to say no.
	Let's listen.
	Everything after this is bad.
	It was physically unpleasant and humiliating.
	I jumped afoot.
	I looked at the editor of Nightly News in the eye.
	He looked back at me and his jaw dropped.
	And I was completely humiliated in front of a room full of my colleagues.
	I jumped, got out of the way, got out of his grasp.
	No one did a thing.
	And there was really nothing I could say or do because I was so low on the totem pole that I had just had to get out of there as quickly as possible and try to go on and do my job covering the Pope.
	I'm very sad to hear that she felt she couldn't say anything about it and that her producer was standing right there, saw it, and didn't do anything.
	That's where it all could have been stopped.
	I think NBC is probably what you asserted, but I'm not sure the other stations aren't the same.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	But NBC is being sheared, shorn.
	They're the ones.
	They're sitting down.
	Yes, and I think I know why.
	Okay, we'll get to that.
	Next clip.
	Now, this is...
	This was troubling.
	So a lot passes and there's all kinds of contact with Brokaw.
	And then she is going from New York back to D.C. 9 o'clock shuttle in the evening.
	It's snowing.
	And he had already said, ah, you'll never make it back on the phone or whatever it was.
	A lot of messaging.
	1994, you know, they were doing...
	I didn't know that NBC had...
	Maybe they were using AOL Instant Messenger at the time.
	Possibly that.
	Because that's what it sounds like she's talking about.
	She's on the computer message.
	So her flight is canceled.
	She goes back to her room.
	And then the following happens.
	And then I went to catch the 9 o'clock shuttle back to D.C. But it was canceled due to snow.
	So I went back to my hotel room, checked back in to the hotel, and started returning business phone calls.
	Now, it's probably around 10 p.m., 10.30, but she's returning business phone calls.
	Okay.
	And then I got three phone calls, one from a friend, one from a source, and the third one was from Brokaw.
	Now I'm wondering, was this voicemail?
	Was it just calls that came in at that moment?
	It's just a little unclear and would really help me understand how he knew that she was back in her hotel.
	He might have checked.
	He seems predatory enough at this point.
	He might have checked.
	Ha ha ha!
	Her shuttle has been cancelled.
	I'm going to call the hotel again.
	But she had to check in again so she didn't have the same room number.
	Was it a cell phone?
	I don't know.
	And he said to order milk and cookies and he would be coming over.
	And the milk and cookies thing, that comes up earlier in her statement where she said to Brokaw, you know, the only thing we could do here is I'm a milk and cookies kind of girl, which I think is actually a wrong thing to say.
	A guy like that probably misinterpreted that, and he did.
	He said, hey, we're going to have milk and cookies, baby.
	He thought it was a come on.
	Again, he misread the signs.
	I think he's looking for, he's one of those guys, hey, she's hitting on me.
	Yeah, milk and cookies.
	It's cold, bro.
	It's cold.
	You know that ginger girl?
	She's like, she's into me, man.
	She's into me.
	And into milk and cookies, you know what I'm saying?
	You know what she said?
	Milk and cookies.
	Milk and cookies, yeah.
	And I felt trapped.
	Because it wasn't a request.
	It was more of an order.
	So she took everything as an order, and I don't know what kind of...
	And he must have had incredible power at the time.
	It was all a very sad story.
	However, at the end, I felt a little like, I'm not so sure about this.
	This is maybe where some real trouble is headed.
	But I didn't say anything because he could ruin my career.
	I was deeply traumatized by being groped and assaulted by Tom Brokaw.
	Much of my work for NBC was going to war zones and being in positions of real danger.
	I was nearly blown up twice.
	I was carjacked.
	I had so many close scrapes and had some transient PTSD, but it was not a fraction of the PTSD I have suffered from this.
	Wow, that's quite a statement.
	She said she'd been blown up, carjacked.
	Almost killed several times.
	She has some transient PTSD, but nothing, nothing compared to this.
	And it's really important that employers get that.
	And NBC gets that.
	Even though I know I was not in any way at fault in what happened to me with Tom Brokaw, I still suffered years of humiliation Isolation and shame.
	Because of his power, I was unable to talk about it.
	So I was silenced.
	And there was nothing I could do to seek recourse.
	Because to have done so at NBC would have been the end of my career.
	That's it.
	That's the damning part.
	NBC is a misogynistic, over-sexualized, predatory place to be.
	She has her sites.
	She's not saying Brokaw.
	She's saying NBC. NBC needs to understand this.
	Remember, it's Variety.
	This is where Ronan came out with the Harvey stuff.
	Who owns Variety?
	There's a question.
	I think they're independent.
	They may be owned by a big publisher, but here's what I think is going on.
	And by the way, I think those were good clips and they were appropriate and you have to really wonder how disturbed the woman was to just make that last comment that she almost killed and all these other things and this was worse.
	Which isn't saying much about Tom Brokaw, that's for sure.
	But I don't think it's a coincidence that this thing broke a couple of days after Ronnie Jackson decided he's not going to try to be the guy heading up the VA. He was pulled out.
	He was shouted down with innuendo.
	And next thing you know, the bro-call thing happens.
	You also see the Joy Reid thing, which you talked about, which is also NBC. And then before that, you had Mark Halperin, who was one of the main contributors to NBC. And then you had Matt Lauer, one of the contributors to NBC. And then you say, where's Roger Stone?
	Get me Roger Stone.
	I believe that the Trump administration is going after these people at NBC specifically, one by one, and I don't know if Donald Trump is involved in this.
	Ah, so that's why maybe he made that offhanded comment toward the senator from Montana?
	Yeah, the senator from Montana.
	He said, I know things.
	If I told you what I know about this guy, he'd never get voted in.
	I'm paraphrasing.
	Yes, that's what he said during his speech.
	Gotcha.
	Gotcha.
	I didn't flip that.
	So he's going out, oh, this is good.
	Yeah.
	Because there's always NBC, and it's...
	And the NBC people are circling the wagons and defending Tom Brokaw.
	And the whole thing, every time something happens to a Trump appointee like this Jackson guy, something happens to an NBC person.
	They're going to go after him one by one, pick him all off.
	And I hate to say this.
	Shareholders take note.
	But this is going to involve...
	General Electric still owns almost half of the company.
	You're going to see some losses take place.
	In fact, that engine that blew up on the Southwest thing was a joint venture with General Electric.
	You're going to see some issues happen.
	All targeting NBC, and it's not going to end until these guys lay off And I think it's a mob-like thing.
	I think Roger Stone's behind it.
	You haven't heard anything about him.
	He's doing his work.
	And the guys, I decided to make a list of people I think are the next targets.
	Okay, before you do that, Variety's owned by Penske Media.
	They own a lot.
	Yeah, it's one of those conglomerates.
	Yeah, but they also have Rolling Stone.
	They've got, they obviously have Variety.
	I don't think they're involved in this.
	They're just a handy vehicle?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I don't see any evidence.
	All right, let's talk about some of your targets.
	I think some targets are going to be some of these loudmouths and some of these other idiots, and I think I'm going to name a few of them.
	They're not all at NBC. I think anybody working at NBC is a potential target.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Let's stick with your theory for a moment, because I would presume we do NBC, then we move to the next target, which may be CNN. They're going to take...
	I think they're going to start taking people out who are the loudest that need to be taken out.
	Okay.
	Rachel Maddow.
	Because I think, for example, Charlie Rose was taken out, and he's CBS, and so why would they want to get rid of him?
	Okay.
	All right.
	The guys that are making a lot of noise.
	All right.
	Now, we need a name for this list.
	Trump's targets.
	Theoretical Trump target.
	The triple T's.
	Ah, T3. T3. T3. Theoretical Trump target.
	So we just start putting people on this list.
	Yes.
	And when we see people getting taken out, like we're going to witness...
	We cross them off the list.
	Well, no.
	We can also add them to the list because we're going to miss a lot of them.
	It'll be kind of sad each time.
	Yeah, because Joy Reid wouldn't have been on the list.
	Ah, there she goes.
	Carl Reiner, I think, is going to be nailed.
	Mm-hmm.
	Hollywood guy.
	Yeah, he's got to have skeletons in his closet.
	He looks like a douchebag.
	Danny Zucker.
	Danny Zucker.
	He's also a Hollywood guy.
	He's in his modern family.
	Okay.
	Doesn't seem that important.
	He's a loud mouth.
	He's worse than Reiner.
	He's on Twitter.
	Okay.
	Steven Spielberg, I believe, is going to be targeted.
	Yes.
	And then he'll be the whopper because I think he's in the middle of a lot of nasty stuff.
	I think that a lot of people assert that already, even though it may not be true, but they're already doing it.
	Tom Hanks, I believe, is going to get it.
	Ooh.
	Ooh, interesting.
	Yeah.
	I don't think so, because he's still protected by the agency.
	Now, a guy who I don't believe is protected by the agency, but I think is going to get it, is Robert De Niro.
	Oh, yes, De Niro, man.
	You have to play this Robert De Niro rant.
	He's coming unhinged.
	I don't think he's still playing Raging Bull or something.
	It's kind of crazy.
	I mean, he's...
	Stupid.
	He's a punk.
	He's a dog.
	He's a pig.
	He's a con.
	A bullshit artist.
	A mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about.
	Doesn't do his homework.
	Doesn't care.
	Thinks he's gaming society.
	Doesn't pay his taxes.
	He's an idiot.
	Colin Powell said it best.
	He's a national disaster.
	He's an embarrassment to this country.
	It makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point.
	That this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he has.
	Talks how he wants to punch people in the face.
	Well, I'd like to punch him in the face.
	Wow!
	I had forgotten.
	We need to put Bozo on the list?
	We don't have Bozo.
	I think clown.
	Yeah, but Bozo is different.
	I don't think so.
	He wouldn't say that about Trump if Trump were Jewish, man.
	About it being a dog.
	Well, whatever.
	I put him on my short list of the T3s.
	And I haven't developed as much.
	I can develop it more.
	I have to look more people over.
	But I think this is going to continue.
	And it just looks like a bunch of coincidences involving NBC. I don't believe any of it's a coincidence.
	No, I agree.
	I think they're being targeted.
	But I like the idea that this is, you know, someone up to dirty tricks and you call out Stone.
	Makes total sense.
	Yeah.
	Makes total sense.
	Where is he?
	Where is he?
	I like that.
	Where's Roger?
	Roger, where are you?
	But, you know, we have a very small window for those who are afraid.
	And people who are...
	Because there may be some Congress critters, some other people.
	I mean, there's plenty of people to go after.
	And, yeah, I'm pretty sure that if you really do the work, you can come up with nasty crap, and you can certainly tell the tale in a nasty way on everybody.
	Because we're all flawed.
	We're all flawed.
	We all have flaws.
	And this is, by the way, when you say, I got nothing to hide.
	Yes, you do.
	Yes, you do.
	Definitely got something to hide.
	But here's the moment, and for me it was kind of kicked off with South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa.
	She was with Christiana Anupur.
	Are you surprised by how quickly this moment has arrived?
	Let's face it, just four months ago, Kim Jong-un was talking about pressing nuclear buttons from his desk, and President Trump was responding in kind.
	I feel like somebody stepped on the accelerator at the beginning of the year, and it's been non-stop since then.
	How do you account for it?
	Clearly, you know, credit goes to President Trump.
	He's been determined to come to grips with this from day one.
	Okay.
	So this is like, whoa, yes.
	This is very confusing because, you know, now we have Trump.
	Well, here's what he's doing.
	They were saying, what do you think President Trump had to do with it?
	I'll tell you what.
	Like, how about everything?
	So he's pushing this, and then of course the crowd is doing no bell, no bell.
	So you can cut or fish bait here, people.
	What are you going to do?
	What are you going to say?
	Where do you want to end when it comes to Trump as the president?
	Adam?
	John, I think it's more than fair to say that the combination of the president's unpredictability and indeed his bellicosity had something to do with the North Koreans deciding to come to the table.
	But before the president takes too much credit or hangs out the mission accomplished banner, he needs to realize that we may go into a confrontational phase and he may not want the full blame if things go south.
	So he ought to be a little circumspect about that.
	But most important for this president is When things do become confrontational, as is likely to happen, it's going to be very important that we are lashed up with our allies, South Korea and Japan.
	Otherwise, North Korea will pick us apart.
	And this president isn't particularly good about lashing up with our allies.
	I find it interesting that he says, you know, there's some confrontation that is likely to happen.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, what does he know?
	Nothing seems to be that way, but I would recommend that Adam Schiff, you might want to hide the Benoit balls, my friend, because you will be on the list.
	Lindsey Graham?
	He's definitely going to be on the list.
	Lindsey Graham, he's smart.
	Okay, so here's the deal.
	It wouldn't have happened without Trump.
	It may not happen, but it's the biggest change since the end of the hostilities.
	The fact that the North Korean and South Korean president met and they vowed to end the war, what happened?
	Donald Trump convinced North Korea and China he was serious about bringing about change.
	We're not there yet, but if this happens, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
	And Kim Jong-un just got fearful.
	Yeah, he's not the dumbest guy in the room.
	Lindsey knows what he's doing.
	He knows what he's doing.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Take me off the T3 list.
	Take me off, yes.
	Right now.
	I don't want to be on it, please.
	I will put another guy on the list.
	And I have a clip.
	It's from the last show.
	You can just look it up.
	It is the...
	Another very similar to De Niro.
	This is...
	Let me get the last show here.
	Shields Incredible.
	This is Mark Shields on PBS. I believe he's going to be on the T3 list.
	Listen to this incredible rant.
	Do I have to look in...
	Shields Incredible Rant is what you look up.
	Oh, okay.
	I didn't know if I was looking it up or if you had done it in.
	Sorry.
	Shields...
	Sorry.
	Incredible?
	Yeah.
	It's actually spelled correctly.
	Yeah.
	That's really interesting.
	S-H-E-L-D-S. S-H-E... I'm sorry.
	I got it.
	I got it.
	I was misspelling.
	Here we go.
	Ah!
	Dump.
	Come back.
	It was another news-packed week.
	In fact, it's still going on, and we have Shields and Salam to unpack it.
	That is syndicated columnist Mark Shields and National Review Executive Editor Raihan Salam.
	David Brooks is away.
	Gentlemen, welcome on this Friday.
	So, Mark, I want to point out we've just learned there is a Washington Post story just moving that the Attorney General let the White House know last weekend That if the president were to fire the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, that he, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, would have to step down.
	I guess the language is might have to leave his job.
	So it looks as if there's still worry, concern about the president's intentions, even though he said he doesn't plan to fire these people.
	It's a happy, productive place to work, the Trump administration.
	I mean, feeling of conviviality, trust, congeniality, and mutual sense of mission.
	I mean, as a personnel director, the president is unrivaled as a disaster in the profession.
	People who work for him work so in terror, anxiety, unsure of what he wants to do and what they're supposed to do and whether they'll be there two weeks from now.
	Well, this might be true.
	Terrorizing.
	Yeah, well, I keep hearing stuff like this, but then when you saw that speech where he's in Michigan and he brings Lewandowski out, who's still apparently hanging around.
	That's great.
	It's like, give us some reality here, and you know that Shields isn't in the White House working there.
	He doesn't know what's going on.
	He's just making this up based on Washington Post reports.
	Right.
	I mean, I think this guy, he's unhinged.
	Oh, yeah.
	Do you think Rachel Maddow, I think he'll go after her?
	Is she on the list?
	Well, I'm sure that she's judgment-proof.
	I don't think she has any skeletons in her closet.
	I don't think she's...
	I mean, she apparently runs the show at MSNBC. She lords it over everybody from the gossip you hear.
	But I don't think that they...
	I'm sure they've tried.
	You know, it's not like she's...
	Oh, she's a lesbian.
	Let's bring her...
	Let's out her.
	I mean, that's not going to work.
	I'm just reading that Matt Lauer is planning his comeback.
	Yeah.
	So is Charlie Rose.
	He's going to be a podcaster.
	Did you hear that one?
	No.
	We are from the future, my friend.
	Instead of going that whole boring make a million dollars a year route and then do a podcast, we went straight to podcasting.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we skipped the middle man.
	We don't need no middle man.
	Yeah.
	Another big story.
	I'm kind of done with this.
	But thank you for that.
	I think we should be looking at the T3. T3 list is where it's all at.
	This is the Golden State Killer, I think his name was, who...
	Oh, yeah, this creep.
	Yeah.
	Now, there's some interesting things here.
	I think people still are just reading headlines, not really reading articles.
	You know, how many emails I received?
	Oh, 23 of me!
	You've always been right!
	I've not always been right about that, but I've said I would never give my DNA to some place that I don't know what they're going to do with it.
	You know, that's just the ultimate data you're giving to someone who's actually associated by former marriage with Google.
	It's another thing you don't want to do.
	So I found a report that is reasonably accurate as to what exactly happened.
	Good morning to you.
	We are outside the Sacramento County Courthouse where later today, 72-year-old Joseph D'Angelo will make his first court appearance.
	Investigators now telling us they use discarded DNA to help track him down.
	Alright, let's stop right there.
	Discarded DNA is another word for trash.
	They're just going through your stuff, I think.
	Yeah, I'd find hairbrush hair or stuff like that.
	Yeah, so I don't know.
	DNA to help track him down, genealogy websites, and a long process of elimination sifting through family trees.
	This morning, new details of the rigorous investigation that detectives say brought down the Golden State Killer more than 40 years after his alleged killing spree began.
	Law enforcement sources telling ABC News they used a genealogy website to Help connect Joseph D'Angelo's DNA to past crime scenes, taking that evidence and then comparing it with family members within the online database until they found their suspect.
	Police say the 72-year-old appeared surprised when they swarmed his home Tuesday evening.
	No incident?
	He didn't say it wasn't me or anything like that?
	No, really no conversation at all.
	Just the only thing he really said was that he had a roast in the oven.
	All he said was, I gotta roast in the oven, guys.
	Can we hurry this up a little bit?
	So what happened is they, one of his family members, not him, he had never given a spittle or anything, no DNA, but they matched it with one of his family members who had uploaded her, I believe, DNA to GED match, which is, I think it's an open source...
	The open source thing.
	A lot of people do this.
	They get their results back from 23andMe and then they'll upload it to the social nets, to the social DNA network.
	None of this is a good idea.
	Okay, so they got this guy.
	I guess it's him.
	Can I say something?
	Yeah.
	Too late now.
	What's too late?
	It's not being a good idea.
	I think it's too late.
	I think the Pandora's box has been opened and you're screwed.
	And I guarantee you that a very high percentage of No Agenda listeners have done this.
	Oh, yeah.
	A comicster blogger who's, you know, I can't even, he doesn't want me to say, oh, I'm only 50 miles away from him when I'm here in this particular spot.
	You know, he's like, oh, so protective of his privacy.
	I'm sure he's given you emails, sent you emails in the past.
	You must get 23andMe, find out if you are a real Slavic!
	People aren't thinking.
	No, I haven't gotten that.
	He always tells me to tell you, that's for sure.
	Uh, uh.
	This is just more of this...
	It sounds like you're getting over it, though.
	I am over it.
	I'm completely over it, but I just have this lingering...
	I have this productive cough about once every hour.
	I have to produce some phlegm.
	Some mucus.
	Phlegm.
	Phlegm, yes.
	This is interesting.
	This will start to play out.
	DNA is back in the game, even though we know that DNA is not really all that precise.
	Well, find this jerk.
	Well, if it's him, yeah.
	I guess it's him.
	Oh, it's pretty, yeah.
	But, I don't know, it's just worth noting again, just stop giving your shit, no, stop giving your data away.
	Yes, you know, you can lecture people until you're blue in the face.
	I know.
	You and your OTG. Well, in Austin, University of Texas, has now opened up a new center, and it's Masculinity.
	M-A-S-C-U-L-I-N, capital U-T, so get it?
	Masculine, U-T, masculinity.
	Ah!
	Yes.
	And this is very interesting.
	There's a counseling and mental health center at University of Texas, Austin, has launched this new program to help male students, quote, take control over their gender identity and develop a healthy sense of masculinity.
	Okay.
	As they see...
	What are they supposed to do?
	Well, it is a mental health issue.
	Toxic masculinity.
	And they have set up victim help lines.
	How is it a mental health...
	What is it even?
	I'm just telling you what they say.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Though you might enjoy taking care of people or being active, masculinity warns that many of these attributes are actually dangerous, claiming that traditional ideas of masculinity place men into rigid boxes which prevent them from developing emotional maturity.
	So because you have been brought into the world and trained to be masculine, be a man, act like a man, be successful, traditional gender roles.
	No, I'm reading from their website.
	Yes.
	The school is in the process of hiring a, quote, healthy masculinites coordinator.
	A Masculinite?
	Yes.
	Masculinites, plural.
	Healthy Masculinites Coordinator to run this program.
	Let me see.
	There's a link.
	What is this?
	Healthy Masculinites.
	Here it is.
	Job posting.
	Oh my goodness.
	Health Education Coordinator Level 2, VAV, Healthy Masculinites Coordinator.
	Monthly salary, $3,959 depending on qualifications.
	What?
	Yeah, you can start immediately.
	At $3,000 a month, which is $4,000 a month.
	$4,000 a month for how many?
	For the whole year?
	40 hours.
	For the whole year?
	A week.
	A week.
	$4,000 a week?
	No.
	No, it's $4,000 a month and you work 40 hours a week.
	It's a full-time job.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Purpose of your job?
	To lead men's engagement and healthy masculinites effort aimed at ending interpersonal violence at UT System schools.
	Oh, are the guys beating each other up there at that school?
	No.
	I really looked into it.
	There was nothing clippable.
	They have a couple of clips.
	But they have victim centers and victim helplines planned.
	This can be just if you're being bullied or someone's been mean to you.
	In college?
	They're calling it interpersonal violence.
	But it can be verbal abuse.
	This position will provide strategic guidance for Masculinity, a comprehensive initiative that aims to promote healthy masculinites on the UT Austin campus through public events, educational workshops, webinars, and other forms of student involvement.
	This is a French term.
	Hold on.
	Masculinity works to increase acceptance of gender diversity, promote healthy relationships with an emphasis on consent, and prevent interpersonal violence.
	Though the Healthy Masculinites Coordinator is housed at the UT Austin campus, this position will have responsibility for working with campus liaisons at all UT system academic institutions to provide best practices for engaging men in ending interpersonal violence.
	What is this French term?
	Yeah, it's a French term.
	Unfortunately, the site isn't straight French.
	I have to find it.
	I have to translate it.
	Well, I have some definitions of interpersonal violence.
	Well, I think I would like the definition of masculinitite.
	That's what we're trying to deal with here.
	Is that how you say it?
	I thought it was masculinities.
	Yeah, masculinities.
	Yeah, did you find it?
	Yeah, it's in French.
	It's a French term.
	It's apparently something the French dreamed of.
	I speak French?
	Hit me.
	Hit me with your best shot.
	Well, I can read French, but I can't translate this because it's a bunch of sociology gobbledygook.
	Okay, let me just go back.
	Unfortunately, I don't have the Chrome browser, which will make the translation.
	Unfortunately, I don't have it on here.
	Just look it up.
	You got the Chrome browser.
	No, I don't.
	I don't.
	I don't have the Chrome browser.
	Oh, man.
	I'm using Brave.
	Come on.
	I'm looking at interpersonal violence.
	You're doing something wrong.
	I'm not going to do your job.
	I'm still looking there.
	Keep doing it.
	Go for it.
	Interpersonal violence.
	Oh, it's called IPV. Now, I'm trying to find a definition.
	Hold on.
	Interpersonal violence...
	Yeah, it's fighting, but I think it's more definitions.
	Here we go.
	IPV. It's known as IPV. Interpersonal violence is the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against a person or group that results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, physical harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation.
	IPV can be committed by a person who is or has been in a romantic relationship, spouse or partner, family member, cohabitat, or household member, including a roommate.
	Hmm.
	Let's see.
	Dating violence.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Domestic violence, sexual misconduct.
	Here we go.
	Engaging in unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it interferes with, denies, or limits an individual ability to participate in or benefit from the university's educational programs or activities and is based on circumstances involving quid pro quo sexual harassment, the creation of a hostile environment, or retaliation.
	Examples include, but are not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of sexual nature.
	No flirting.
	That's it.
	Flirting.
	No flirting.
	It's the flirt cops.
	You're in college.
	You're in college now.
	No flirting.
	Get back to work.
	You can flirt with boys.
	Yeah, that's okay.
	Nah.
	Girls, it's okay to kiss.
	So what is, did we figure out what it is?
	Yeah, it's French for masculinity.
	Why did they just say that?
	I don't know.
	It's a French word for masculinity.
	It just sounds better.
	It's not masculinity, it's masculinity.
	Masculinity, I tell you.
	You can get this at masculinity.
	Hey, I'm sure there's all...
	It's horrible.
	You know, there's domestic violence everywhere.
	It's very bad.
	Just domestic violence, sexual violence, all of that's bad.
	It's all bad.
	But to just pin it on men...
	Oh, yeah.
	...being toxic.
	Toxic men is what you're saying.
	Masculinity is what...
	What is the definition of masculinity?
	From Latin, masculina.
	Definition of masculine.
	Possession of the qualities traditionally associated with men.
	Yeah, so we can't have that anymore.
	No.
	And this is...
	Wait, let me get the Merriam-Webster.
	Why don't they just bring...
	I wonder if the Scum Manifesto would ever be reintroduced into the curriculum.
	The Scum Manifesto?
	Yeah, the S.C.U.M. Society for Cutting Up Men...
	Manifesto was written in the 60s during another one of these eras.
	And it talks about just de-ball all these guys and you don't have to deal with this bull crap.
	So this could be a fractal or a cycle?
	I think it is.
	It's a total cycle.
	Well...
	So how are we doing on time?
	Yeah, we're late.
	Do you want it?
	You got something?
	I guess plenty, but we can move it to the next show because it's just as good, Dan.
	It's nice.
	It's a semi-evergreen.
	So I'm done.
	Okay.
	Well, that's how you feel about it.
	That's all right.
	That's okay.
	We do have some nice end-of-show clips for you to enjoy.
	We thank John Fletcher.
	Fletcher came in with an end-of-show mix.
	Fletcher!
	Tom Starkweather, Chris Wilson, of course.

	Until Thursday, as always, adios, mofos!
	Hey, can you get me a cab?
	Cab?
	Taxi!
	Back there!
	There wasn't a lot of surprises, Melissa, but I just want to put something in perspective as The world cannot live without Google.
	We can live without Facebook, but Google is part of the fabric, the oxygen of the Internet.
	This is completely disturbing.
	We can't live without Google?
	We can't easily live without Google.
	No, I can't forget this evening When I spent my time just binging And all my wasted life on DuckDuckGo I shunned YouTube and watched my stuff on Vimeo Yes,
	it belongs Well, if Faceback sank tomorrow You know I'd feel a little sorrow But we'd all be better off if it would go And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should
	know I can't live, living without ego.
	I can't be, I can't be anymore.
	I can't live, live without you go.
	I can't live, I can't live anymore.
	Bing, by the way, does work.
	You don't need Google necessarily.
	The one you can't live without, and I've written about this too, is Amazon.
	Relax.
	The computer is processing the data.
	I will be notified as soon as there is any information.
	And I want to be careful here.
	Any advertiser or campaign, I know we're working with them.
	Its goal is to sell everything to everyone.
	Why am I seeing this ad?
	Well, that's a great, uh, great question.
	Your user agreement sucks.
	We see more passive listening and passive monitoring in our own homes with the information we've accumulated on...
	Let's get your show!
	We provided support to the Trump campaign.
	And he's been terrific.
	He may be a globalist, but I still like him.
	He was calling those things that were not as though they were, is what he was doing then.
	Yes.
	He is seriously a globalist, there's no question.
	There has never been a company quite like Amazon.
	Kin to a game of whack-a-mole.
	Goodbye and f*** you.
	What in the world is going on?
	Yeah.
	Right.
	What causes these mental health problems?
	What?
	What?
	Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum! Get out! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum!
	Get out!
	Yeah.
	Gazi, scum! Get out! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum!
	Right.
	Right.
	Gazi, scum! Get out! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum!
	Yeah.
	Gazi, scum! Get out! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum! Gazi, scum!
	Get out!
	What in the world is going on?
	What does this mean about our future?
	Yeah, yeah.
	What causes these mental health problems?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, right.
	What does this mean about our...
