	I got a gig, man!
	And I can just turn it into a drive!
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, May 26, 2019, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1141.
	This is No Agenda.
	Celebrating one week of wed and bliss and broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the Drone Star State.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're awaiting 1999 KW4. Hello, boys.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	I know I'm missing some cultural reference.
	No, you're missing the fact that an asteroid with a moon flinging around.
	An asteroid that's shaped like a spinning top and a little bitty moon going around it.
	Vroom, vroom, vroom.
	Is it headed towards us?
	Is it going to slam into us?
	No.
	Ow!
	You'd think our gravitational pull would at least jerk that moon out of orbit.
	How far away is it?
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	Will it hit any space junk?
	No, it's not that close.
	Space junk is pretty close to our...
	In the scheme of things, pretty close to the surface.
	Oh, totally.
	You know, I was looking up, because of this 2024 first woman, next man on the moon mission.
	First of all, the NASA exec quit.
	Just a few weeks after he was appointed, because apparently the budget is not what he thinks it should be, or Mark Sirangelo was tapped in.
	If they didn't spend so much money wasting it on global warming studies, they'd have more money.
	So here's what I'm looking at.
	The main thing people say why we haven't been to the moon since the 60s and 70s, essentially 50 years ago for the first time, is a cost issue.
	This is what I keep hearing everyone say.
	We really pulled out all the stops.
	We've poured all the money we had into it and we made it to the moon.
	So the total cost of the entire Apollo program, which includes all of the rockets, all the six missions that landed on the moon, was $25.4 billion as reported to Congress in 1973.
	Adjusted for inflation, that would be $150 billion today.
	I don't believe that number.
	I believe the number would be closer to 250.
	You're using the bogus inflation numbers that the government have been...
	This is the real issue.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Just before you get into that, so 250 million, that's fine.
	Billion.
	Billion.
	Divided by six is $41 billion for one mission to go to the moon.
	Yeah, it seems affordable.
	Well, right now, NASA has a total budget of about $20 billion with some bullcrap extra.
	Let's give them another billion to take them to the moon.
	Are we serious about this or not?
	How much is it really going to cost?
	Do we not want to put...
	At least 50 billion.
	Yeah, 50 billion.
	Well, there's no 50 billion being spent, so I don't see how it'll ever happen.
	Ah, so you think the whole thing's just a public relations scam?
	Oh, I can't wait until...
	I wish 2024 can't come fast enough for me to laugh my ass off.
	Wow.
	Please.
	That guy holds a grudge.
	But, I mean, if this is real, this is it.
	I knew it.
	It's like the old fart.
	You'd be rocking...
	Yelling at the sky!
	Yelling at the sky!
	I knew it!
	You guys promised the moon you could deliver nothing.
	Uh-huh.
	Oh, okay.
	I just don't...
	I can't take it seriously if we're not going to put up the right amount of money.
	Well, I don't take it seriously anyway.
	Well, this is a fact.
	Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I'd like to see somebody write up the story of the Saturn V rocket.
	That's the thing that got, if we went to the moon, that's how we got there.
	We don't even have a rocket that's half that size.
	It doesn't seem like such a big deal.
	Is it so hard to just build a bigger rocket?
	I don't know why they haven't built another Saturn V. That was the biggest rocket we've ever built.
	The things the size of the Empire State Building.
	It's a huge thing.
	Really?
	Is it that tall?
	That's crazy.
	No, it's not that tall, but that would be kind of cool, don't you think?
	Well, okay.
	More misinformation, Dvorak.
	You're not helping.
	It's confusing me.
	I just want to mention one thing.
	And maybe you've had this moment, but we were reviewing some of the pictures and videos, mainly videos from the wedding extravaganza of the century.
	And I have to say with sadness and disappointment that I really believe I'm a better dancer than I am.
	Holy crap.
	Do you look good out there?
	I look complete...
	I'm just going to have to say it.
	I look retarded.
	It's horrible.
	And I'm thinking like, yeah, baby, I'm nailing this here.
	Woo, everybody!
	And I look like one of those things outside of the secondhand car dealership, those inflatable...
	With praying mantis arms all over the place.
	It's horrible.
	Horrible.
	Ugh.
	I really thought I was better than that.
	Well, apparently you were mistaken.
	You were misleading yourself.
	So I had to do something to make myself feel good, and I spent the past...
	Until you erased the videos.
	No, I wish.
	No, I spent the past two days doing something I promised for many years, and I finally got it together.
	Zumba.
	Close.
	Podfathergear.com.
	I finally documented it, wrote it all up, exported all my settings...
	It's podfathergear.com.
	And it's all there.
	You can see what I use.
	My own configuration files.
	You can install them, get everything up and running with my baseline.
	Shows exactly which widgets and boxes I use.
	Released under the value-for-value model, of course.
	Well, let's stop immediately here.
	And the value-for-value model is going to pay $0.
	In this regard, because for one thing, you're not running a bunch of cheap crap.
	No.
	Well, no, it's not cheap, but it's not crazy expensive either.
	It's close to it for most podcasters.
	The main box is $595, and you can get quite a way with that.
	Yeah, but then you've got to buy the plug-ins.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Mark of the Unicorn you were talking about?
	Mark of the Unicorn has the compressor, limiter, EQ, all of that built in.
	You need no extra stuff.
	So I'm basically on a bare-bones box.
	I'm running barefoot, John!
	You almost sound like Alex Jones doing that.
	It was my CB trucker.
	Yeah.
	Same thing.
	Alex Jones, same thing.
	Anyway, so I put it all up there, and hopefully...
	And I also realized that as I'm putting it up there, like, I could probably make a good sound on any device when I think about it, just with the right amount of time.
	And to be fair, with the right partner who is incredibly consistent and doesn't mind counting to 100 as often as I ask him to.
	You can say that, but the other...
	Side of it is...
	You're not going to do that A for sure.
	Do what?
	Just try to...
	Don't try to make good sound on anything because your real goal is to make the whole thing so portable that you can go travel with it.
	You can't do that with just anything.
	You can't have a bunch of big boxes.
	After this exercise and I'm kind of looking around like, I wonder if there's any new boxes out there.
	I'm just looking at stuff like, I could probably make it work with that.
	I could make it work with that.
	Nothing is cheaper.
	Nothing is geared towards podcasters.
	But now at least people have a little example of how I do it.
	Felt good.
	Horowitz uses the dreaded Rodecaster, and his files blew up.
	Oh, what happened?
	Did you hear about this?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	I mean, he sends me stuff all the time.
	We discuss the sound, and I'll ask him what he's doing, and sometimes it's better than others, but he didn't tell me about the files blowing up.
	Yeah, the first time he used the Rodecaster, he had to use the backup files because the Rodecaster didn't blow up the whole file, but it trashed the end of the file.
	Oh, so they had some sort of an EOF problem.
	So you had to pull it from tape, huh?
	You had to pull it from tape.
	Pull it from the backup.
	No, coincidentally, I had recorded it using the recording capabilities of Skype, and unbeknownst to me, it automatically sends him the file.
	Huh!
	I didn't know you can do that with Skype.
	Do what?
	Record.
	Is it stock now with Skype?
	No.
	Start recording.
	Wow, look at that.
	Start recording.
	It's right in there.
	Yeah.
	Huh.
	I thought you were arguing with me the other day that it was always there.
	Start recording?
	Let me see what happens.
	And then when you're...
	At least in this case, when it's done, the file gets shipped to him.
	I guess it may be some sort of a...
	Courtesy.
	So I just record a little bit and then finalizing, so it'll probably send that to you now.
	Interesting.
	I had no idea.
	Well, Skype guys aren't stupid, and it is part of my standard setup.
	I even show how to configure it.
	Anyway, so that made me feel much better about my extremely white boy dancing.
	It's not that I look like an old man.
	Just...
	I thought it was...
	You don't have the video available to me.
	I have no idea.
	John, don't worry.
	I wouldn't want to, you know...
	Did you do the conga well without looking like an old fart?
	I forgot to mention that Andrew Horowitz and his wife started a conga line at the wedding.
	I have to say, that was...
	This is from one too many cruises.
	That was fantastic.
	Things I never expected.
	Things I never expected at my wedding.
	A conga line.
	And then he's like, hey, we're going to do soul train now!
	Give him a kick to DJ. John and the DJ, the only black guy at the wedding, was, like, raising his eyebrows, like, you doing Soul Train?
	Okay.
	Anyway.
	Hey, um...
	Teresa Mayquit.
	Let's start with that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that was pretty interesting.
	You have the last tears...
	Yeah, I got the end of the talk.
	She talked for about 10 minutes.
	It made it sound like she was bawling all the way through.
	No, she just cracked at the end.
	Yeah, at the end she finally folded and she wandered off.
	And they have all these pictures of her that are floating around.
	I had one in the newsletter.
	Of her just making a kind of a sorrowful face.
	And of course the media, she cried her way through it.
	You know, they go on and on.
	I think the British media hated her for some reason.
	How about the British public hates her?
	I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold.
	The second female Prime Minister.
	I'm Carmen Bullshit here, Dvorak.
	I think you slowed this down to make her sound more emotional.
	But certainly not the last.
	I do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.
	Pulled that as an ISO. To serve the country I love.
	Actually, mine does sound a bit faster than yours.
	You hear that?
	Yeah, maybe it is.
	Interesting.
	Not by much.
	But that just kind of showed...
	Mine ended, though, you didn't get the end of it because I definitely boosted the clip-clop, clip-clop as she left.
	Oh, no, I cut that off of the ISO. I have it in my clip.
	But it was so...
	What this really showed is...
	For two seconds, for a moment there, the reptilian gene slunk away and it was a human being who cared about something.
	Sadly, it was herself.
	And that's, I think, what the British public took offense to.
	They're like, whoa, now you cry?
	Now you got a problem?
	Yeah, maybe.
	But it wasn't like we didn't expect this to happen.
	I'm surprised she stayed in past the first rebuke of her idea of how to get out of the EU. Now what happens?
	Bojo!
	Bojo!
	I don't think so.
	I think it's going to be...
	I think it's Gov.
	This guy, Gov.
	Gov?
	Yeah, Gov.
	He's going to be the guy I think is going to get in.
	Hmm.
	He's a Brexit guy.
	Probably a little more of the hell with it, let's just get out.
	Which I think Boris Johnson would be like that too, to some extent.
	Of course he would.
	That's what he's all about.
	There's never been any reason to do these deals.
	You got WTO as your backup.
	Right.
	Okay, so who's this guy, Gov?
	I mean, now I need to know.
	You can't just play a clip of Theresa May and then say, I think it's going to be someone else.
	Well, it's going to be someone else, no matter who it is.
	Right, but...
	Okay, I expected more.
	Oh, well...
	You don't have it.
	You don't have it.
	Okay.
	I don't have it in front of me, no, because I shouldn't have said anything.
	But he's the guy, he's been around, he's been floating around, he's like one of the, he's like Reese Mogg, that guy, who's also, they're very old-fashioned British, they talk very slowly and deliberately, and they, they're a lot of, you know, understatement.
	Right.
	And this is one of the two guys, this Gov character.
	Well, what will be interesting to see later today is all the returns of the European Parliament elections to see how the Brexit party did.
	That's Farage's EU party.
	Yeah.
	I think that may even matter a little bit more now.
	Who cares who comes in in Britain?
	They have no intention of Brexit, no matter who it is.
	They don't care if it's Boris Johnson.
	They have no intention of doing that.
	People's vote, do over, you did it wrong, do it again.
	Just the bankers in London, they feel that it's better off, everything's better off if things are the way they are with this connection to the EU and they can beat a little banking community, a little Switzerland in the middle of the UK doing their thing and cleaning up on service fees.
	And the expectation is that a lot of populist slash nationalist leaders and parties will gain a foothold in the European Parliament.
	It didn't turn out that way, although it was an interesting and good result for a very young party.
	There's the FVD, the Forum for Democracy Party, which is right-wing but distanced themselves from Geert Wilder's party, and so he would be right, right, right-wing, and they're like, kind of right-wing...
	But they came in third, so they do get a couple of seats in European Parliament.
	But it was the Workers' Party, the Party of the Workers, PVDA, with our boy up front.
	You're talking about Holland.
	Yes, yes.
	That would be my globalist buddy, Franz Timmermans.
	So he has a really good shot.
	And Junker, who's exiting that position, did an interview with, I think it was CNN International, and he was asked about, you know, this very issue.
	What do you think about the populists, the nationalists who are rising all over Europe?
	And his response went noted by many.
	These populist nationalists, stupid nationalists, they are in love with the old country.
	And they don't like the others.
	In some countries of Parliament, a major part of the society, don't like those coming from far away.
	I do like those coming from far away because the main guiding principle of the European Union should be solidarity.
	They are stupid.
	They love their own country.
	Why does this make no sense?
	It was like a non sequitur.
	I like those who come from far away because it's about unity.
	What?
	What is there for away?
	Is that unity?
	Well, if you're a globalist, it is.
	They're like, oh, yeah, unity.
	Ah, now we're talking.
	But those who love their own country, they're stupid.
	Doesn't that just say enough right there?
	Yeah, pretty much sums it up.
	How stupid are you that you love your own country?
	Yeah.
	Let me see that again.
	These populist nationalists, stupid nationalists, they are in love with their own country.
	It's crazy!
	They're in love with their own country.
	Why do you do this?
	This is not good.
	They want to love the European Union.
	Good luck with that.
	Well, it's always been a fool's errand.
	Yes, to a certain degree, for sure.
	For sure.
	Let me see.
	Well, there is stuff going on.
	I don't know exactly where to start.
	Are you talking about my speeds being off?
	Yeah.
	So I had some issues with my browser.
	I fixed it.
	With your browser?
	Before I fixed it, I had stuff that sounds like this.
	Play Squeaky Jude.
	This is Judith Woodward on...
	On the NewsHour, Squeaky Judy 2.
	Oh, one or two?
	Two?
	To play two.
	And now we turn to the analysis of Shields and Brooks.
	That is syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks.
	Huh.
	Now you can play Squeaky Brooks.
	Squeaky Brooks, hold on.
	Confusing me here.
	Yeah, when I look at Saladis candidates, I'm...
	Yeah, I heard this with your previous clip.
	It sounds like a doubling or something.
	There's something weird.
	Yeah, when I look at Saladis candidates, I'm first struck by how the self-esteem movement was actually very effective.
	Sounds like you're recording it twice.
	Like, it's going through...
	It's almost phasing.
	When I look at the presidency, I've interviewed a lot of presidents since...
	Or is this an effect you're doing to make everyone sound shitty?
	I know what happened.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's never going to happen again.
	Well, okay.
	This is interesting, though, that this happened to you.
	Because this was one of the most, to me, very interesting ministry of truthiness exercises that we went through with this doctored video.
	Well, before we play, did you get to die?
	I don't think I have a copy of the doctored video.
	I watched it last night.
	I do have this to play.
	The event at which Pelosi was on, she was at some progressive deal, and she...
	Let's see, where my Pelosi-Trump walk out...
	I mean, I have the clip that you're talking about, so I have all this.
	Disposing Pelosi at Progressive's events is the clip I'm talking about.
	Okay.
	And this is the actual feed from the event...
	At regular speed.
	And she sounds terrible.
	I mean, yeah, they slowed her way down to make her sound drunk, but they used to do that with George Bush, as you recall.
	Well, hold on, hold on.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	No, stop.
	Stop.
	You're going way, way ahead of what's happening here.
	All right.
	First there...
	Okay.
	I'm just going to keep your clip there.
	I think it's long, I see.
	So I just want to make sure that we get to the actual...
	First, the genesis of what happened.
	Um...
	Because there was the back and forth between Trump and Pelosi, which started with Pelosi.
	And let me see.
	The one that I want here is...
	Now you've confused me.
	I was so...
	Oh, here we go.
	Yes, this is the back and forth.
	This thing keeps escalating in a brawl of words after the infrastructure meeting imploded yesterday and the president said, basically, call me when you're done investigating and then we will get some work done.
	Nancy Pelosi did not like that.
	So she called him, basically, unwell.
	I pray for the President of the United States.
	I wish that his family or his administration or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country.
	I am.
	So the President was not happy about that.
	Ever the counterpuncher late today, he let her have it over the inaction on the new trade deal with Mexico and Canada that he very much wants to get signed.
	She's a mess.
	Look, let's face it.
	She doesn't understand it.
	And they sort of feel she's disintegrating before the rush.
	Crazy Nancy.
	I tell you what, I've been watching her and I have been watching her for a long period of time.
	She's not the same person.
	She's lost it.
	It was sad when I watched Nancy all moving, the movement and the hands and the craziness.
	And I watched it.
	That's, by the way, a person that's got some problems.
	Okay, so this was the genesis of the back and forth.
	And then the president tweeted out this video.
	We had a little, took a little longer on the floor.
	Custody of the border.
	Everyone, they started making, sending signals to the U.S., Mexico, Canada.
	If that's not the accurate character, some people call it AFTA-NAFTA, some call it NAFTA 2.0.
	We're working together to pass that.
	There are three things.
	There are three things.
	We're very busy people.
	That was the exact video that I got it from his tweet that Trump tweeted out.
	That was not slowed down.
	And the reason why the three things, three things, three things was repeated because she keeps holding up two fingers when she says three things.
	So it made her look very stupid.
	It was edited of her bumbling and stumbling.
	But it was not slowed down.
	But this is what interests me.
	Team Pelosi or whatever bugle call goes out, immediately, uh-oh, she looks like she has medical issues.
	And this distraction was created, and I'm not quite sure how maybe Rudy Giuliani had to do this to do something, but then for a little while there, for maybe an hour or two, Trump tweeted out a fake video, doctored video!
	And then when they realized that it wasn't this slowed down video, I have the example here from NBC. It's about the impact that altered videos could have on the next election after a manipulated video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went viral and after the president retweeted another heavily edited video.
	You see, this is fantastically done.
	Oh my God.
	She looks like she's dying.
	It's not a good video.
	It's not a good look.
	It's not a good sound.
	They bring in some other video that was not even in play at all.
	Yes.
	The Speaker of the House.
	Tom Costello has that story.
	One day after that bitter and personal clash, both President Trump and Speaker Pelosi were today dialing it down.
	But tonight, this video, edited to make Pelosi appear as if she were slurring her words, has gone viral, raising serious concerns.
	Okay, then they bring in experts on this thing.
	So now that what Trump has tweeted is already behind us, although Trump, orange man, bad...
	He tweeted out a doctored video.
	Now it's doctored.
	It used to be heavily edited.
	Now it's doctored.
	It's been doctored with.
	They combined the two items together and made it look as though Trump sent out the copies of the one where she's talking slow.
	And by the way, I want to stop right now and mention they did this to Bush constantly.
	Of course they did.
	Of course, but that's what I'm seeing here is complicit behavior where not once have you seen the video on mainstream that Trump tweeted out.
	Instead, you get stories like this.
	We want to show you this video.
	First, we're going to show you the real video of Nancy Pelosi speaking a couple of days ago, and then we're going to show you the fake one, which has been slowed down, the audio slowed down to make it appear as if Speaker Pelosi has been slurring her words.
	And then he had a press conference in the Rose Garden with all this sort of visuals that obviously were planned long before.
	And then he had a press conference in the Rose Garden with all this sort of visuals that obviously were planned long before.
	So you can hear that edit there.
	You know, when you see it side by side, it might seem obvious.
	But when you encounter this on your Facebook news feed, as a standalone, it might not seem as obvious.
	And look, you know, doctored videos, hoaxes online.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's very obvious.
	What is unprecedented, though, is social media gives people the ability to put a fake video out there and have it quickly viewed by millions of people.
	This video has been removed from YouTube.
	They said that it broke their policies, that it is misleading.
	Facebook, on the other hand, the video is still up there.
	They essentially said it doesn't break their rules, that they are having fact checkers take a look at it.
	But just a few minutes ago, I checked online, one version of the video on Facebook has been viewed almost two and a half million times.
	Twitter, the president's favorite social media platform, had nothing to say about this video, which is still circulating on their platform this morning.
	Tony, I think it is really incumbent upon us to educate those as to how these things spread, how they're doctored, what to look for, because we're going to see a million things like this.
	Yes, yes, that's our job.
	We're here to inform you, citizens, that you need to look out for these doctored videos.
	But...
	The video that it started with is not even played anymore.
	Now it's just gone into this complete stratosphere.
	And by the way, YouTube took it off.
	YouTube took the video down.
	Facebook didn't.
	This...
	Was a problem for CIA mockingbird Anderson Pooper.
	He just could not believe what was happening.
	And I got two clips.
	I'm so happy.
	He spent nine minutes with a spokeshole from Facebag.
	Why they weren't...
	And we're already beyond the video Trump tweeted out.
	This is now something...
	And by the way...
	By the way...
	It was a meme characterization that Trump refused to take the video down, implying it was this video.
	Exactly!
	And you know what?
	I don't know who made this slowed down video.
	The only place I've seen it is NBC! NBC and CNN. I think they made it.
	They made it.
	Listen to Pooper with...
	What's her name here?
	This is the...
	This is Vice President of Product Policy and Counterterrorism, Monica Biggert.
	Facebook Counterterrorism.
	Facebook Counterterrorism with Anderson Pooper.
	So Monica, in the wake of the 2016 election, obviously Facebook has repeatedly told Congress, the American people, that you're serious about fighting disinformation and fake news.
	Yet this doctored video that I think your own fact checkers acknowledge is doctored of Speaker Pelosi remains on your platform.
	This word doctored, it was always deceptively edited.
	I wonder where the term doctored, who launched that, besides NBC or CNN, doctored.
	And what does that mean?
	This is, by the way, I want to put this in the same category as Glitch.
	Yes!
	What exactly does doctored mean?
	Thank you.
	Doctored definition.
	Is that a good thing?
	If I'm doctored, does it mean I'm getting healthier?
	Adam's been doctored.
	Yeah.
	Treat someone medically.
	He contemplated giving up doctoring, being doctored.
	Okay.
	Why?
	Well, you know, first off, I think the suggestion there is that we haven't taken action, and that's not right.
	We have acted.
	Anybody who is seeing this video in newsfeed, anyone who is going to share it to...
	Yeah, listen to this.
	So Facebag didn't take it down, but listen to what they do when Washington, D.C. puts out a call.
	Anybody else, anybody who has shared it in the past...
	They are being alerted that this video is false.
	And this is part of the way that we deal with misinformation.
	We work with internationally certified fact-checking organizations.
	Internationally certified?
	Who's doing this certification?
	Where can we get such certification?
	Who is the certifier?
	That's why I stop.
	I'd love to know.
	Who's the certifier?
	Who's the certifier?
	Oh, wait, stop.
	Hold on.
	Stop again.
	Let me guess.
	Cooper immediately asks her, who is the certifier for this program?
	Fact-checking operation.
	Who does the certification?
	Were you watching?
	I shared it in the past.
	They are being alerted that this video is false.
	And this is part of the way that we deal with misinformation.
	We work with internationally certified fact-checking organizations that are independent from Facebook.
	And we think these are the right organizations to be making decisions about whether something is true or false.
	And as soon as we get, and we did in this case, as soon as we get a rating from them that content is false, then we dramatically reduce the distribution of that content and we let people know that it's false so they can make an informed choice.
	Why keep it up then?
	If there were misinformation that was, let's say, tied to an ongoing riot or the threat of some physical violence somewhere in the world, we would work with safety organizations on the ground to confirm falsity and the link to violence, and then we actually would remove that misinformation.
	So misinformation that doesn't promote violence, but misinformation that, you know, portrays the third most powerful, you know, politician in the country as a drunk or somehow impaired, that's fine.
	That's fine.
	So the International Fact Check Network has a code of principles and an advisory board.
	The International Fact Checking Network has seven counselors who represent the geographical diversity of the network.
	They are pioneers in the development and implementation of fact checking in their countries and regions.
	All board members are unpaid.
	The Advisory Board's main role is to help oversee the verification process of the Code of Principles.
	But it is also consulted on all matters of other decisions that have an international relevance for fact-checkers.
	Let's meet these advisors.
	Let's see who we have here.
	Angie Holen.
	She is the editor of PolitiFact.
	Clara Jimenez Cruz.
	She is a Spanish journo.
	Glenn Kessler.
	Editor and chief writer of The Fact Checker.
	He has a journalism career spanning more than three decades.
	Wow.
	Govindraj Ethiraj?
	He's from India.
	Laura Sommer?
	What is he good for?
	Let's see.
	Well, he has over 25 years focused on fact-checking and fake news busting in India.
	25 years?
	The man is fantastic.
	25 years he's been doing this on the internet, apparently.
	Huh.
	Laura Zommer, editor-in-chief at Shikwedo, the first initiative of fact-checking and verification of public discourse in Latin America.
	Okay.
	And Noko Magato, he has extensive career in the media sector as a journalist and manager, 20 years of experience in Africa.
	Oh, and then we have one more.
	Tijan Shevechnenin.
	She's from Bosnia-Herzegovina.
	There's no one from America.
	Oh, yeah, PolitiFact.
	Angie is from PolitiFact.
	Yeah, so those are the people who determine who can be...
	Nobody from Snopes?
	No, they are a member of the Fact Check Network.
	Who are they?
	But if you want to become a fact checker, we can do it.
	I think we should.
	We can get a little verification badge.
	Oh, cool.
	Step one, application.
	Yes.
	Which includes a non-refundable fee of $200.
	Seems steep.
	And then the assessment.
	Oh, external assessors will check this.
	Who are the external assessors?
	Lauren Bigot?
	Well, there you go.
	Lauren Bigot is the one who will be looking at our assessment.
	Please.
	This is crazy.
	So, it's a big intellectual network of yahoos.
	Yeah, theater.
	Now, Pooper took it one step further, and this is really, really what gave me great joy to listen to this, because here you have him seeing Facebag as an incredible adversary, and they're not playing fair.
	I guess I still just don't logically understand.
	I understand it's a big business to get into of trying to figure out what's true or not, but You're making money by being in the news business.
	If you can't do it well, shouldn't you just get out of the news business?
	I love that he's saying they're in the news business all of a sudden.
	Look, I reject the notion that we're not doing a lot to counter misinformation.
	No, I didn't say you're not doing a lot.
	I'm just saying if you are, in this particular case, spreading and allowing the spread of a clearly false doctored video, Again, you're in the news business.
	There's a responsibility that comes with that.
	And this isn't even a question.
	Stop.
	The doctored video itself, tell me if I'm wrong here, is newsworthy.
	It's news, of course it is.
	It's newsworthy.
	It's newsworthy.
	So why wouldn't you leave it as is and just tell people we think this is a fake?
	Of course, he knows that the doctored video is news.
	Because he's covering it as news.
	So he's full of crap, this guy.
	Well, but I think he's...
	Look, he's part of the system.
	And for him to say repeatedly, you're in the news business, I think he was really drawing her out.
	He wanted her to admit that they're in the news business.
	Because once Facebag admits that, then it's all over.
	Then all of this deplatforming, hiding, shadow banning, lowering significance in the feed, all of this stuff becomes very relevant to Section 203 of the Communications and Decency Act.
	Then all of a sudden you are editorializing.
	Well, they're not really in the news business by any means.
	I know, but he's trying to get her to admit to it and saying, by the mere fact you distribute this, you're in the news business.
	Yeah.
	And this isn't even a question.
	We are in the news business.
	We are in the social media business.
	People come to Facebook to share.
	The reason you're sharing news is because you make money from it.
	It keeps people watching you.
	Oh, no, I understand.
	If you make money from it, then you're in the news business.
	Okay, thanks, Anderson.
	...more involved in your site, which I get, and that's fair.
	But if you're in the news business, which you are...
	You've got to do it right, and this is false information you are spreading.
	What?
	Coming from CNN, he says that?
	I know.
	You've got to do it right?
	How about you guys doing it right?
	It's so lovely ironic.
	You've got to do it right, and this is false information you are spreading.
	We have a site where people can come and share what they think, what's important to them, the news that they find relevant.
	And when they do that, we want to make sure that they have access to accurate information.
	If there's a threat of safety, if we're talking about terror propaganda, that's something where we can actually assess that on its face and say, yes, this is terror propaganda, and we can pull it down.
	When you're talking about political discourse...
	After nine minutes of this crap, yeah, I'd be irked too.
	And again, if it's misinformation that is related to safety...
	If it's misinformation that's related to safety, we can and we do remove it.
	And he went on and on and on.
	Well, while we're on the process of you've got to do it right, we might as well play this from CNN. This is, let's see, this is the Scarborough on Trump's mental decline.
	Oh, day yesterday.
	President Trump continued.
	Dude, I don't know.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Something went wrong with your recording.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's fixed.
	Okay, good.
	Day yesterday, President Trump continued to erupt last night because the House Speaker said that he threw a, quote, temper tantrum.
	Tweeting after 9 p.m.
	last night, the President shared a video edited to show Nancy Pelosi stammering during a news conference with anchors suggesting the Speaker is in a mental decline.
	Fake videos of Pelosi, altered to make her sound as if she is slurring her words, has spread online in recent days.
	Interesting.
	Wonder what that's about.
	Well, we know what it's actually about.
	We've been around this block before.
	The president, of course, during the campaign, we've said it.
	People closest to him told us that they feared that He was in mental decline.
	People very close to him told us that they feared that he was pre-dementia, that he had changed.
	You watch Donald Trump in the late 1980s.
	You watch him even in the 90s.
	You watch him now.
	He has completely changed.
	I've known Nancy Pelosi and been working with her since 1994.
	I interviewed her this week.
	Since 1994.
	For 90 minutes.
	A quarter of a century I've known Nancy Pelosi.
	I can tell you Nancy Pelosi is tougher today.
	Sharp as a tack.
	...than she was 25 years ago.
	The difference between Nancy and Donald, not even close.
	He knows he's slipping.
	So now, they're actually, we can think about it, it's incredible.
	They're doctoring videos.
	The president is sending you out.
	All right, you've got to be, come clean with me, Dvorak.
	Here's what I think happened.
	You probably had the same thought I did, like, oh, it's funny.
	I'm going to slow down some people, make them sound drunk.
	And then you left the filters on all your clips.
	What happened?
	You're doctoring clips.
	It's really too long and boring to discuss, but it is a filtering problem, and it had to do with some background processing that I didn't know was going to go onto the clips.
	And I disabled all of it finally after I figured out what it was because I couldn't get to this.
	There's some screwball page that is not even linkable on the normal Windows 10 main menu that puts a bunch of special effects on top of the audio tracks.
	And I was playing around with it and I think I left something turned on.
	The problem is this particular page of settings It's not easy to access and I couldn't find a way to get back to it.
	It was just impossible because it wasn't available under the normal settings.
	It wasn't available on the menu.
	It's your audio driver where you can set some of that stuff.
	What were you thinking?
	I'm sorry.
	This is a clear sign of mental decline.
	Yeah, mental decline.
	So I kept looking and looking.
	I finally found it by digging through and searching the whole computer.
	Oh, gosh.
	And I finally found it.
	I just turned everything off.
	Oh, man.
	Anyway, so a number of the clips have a little echoing sound.
	No, it sounds pretty crap.
	Well, the point is that these two, and I do have an ISO from them, the sharpest attack ISO. Okay.
	Sharp as a tack.
	Sharp as a tack.
	She's sharp as a tack.
	It has such triple meaning for me now.
	I really love it.
	Now, I do have the actual Pelosi right off of the conference, which is the progressives event that she was at, and she's yakking away, and she sounds like an idiot.
	I think I also have, do I have any of the Pelosi when she was being interviewed?
	Well, this is the exposing Pelosi at the progressives event?
	Is that what you're talking about?
	Yeah, this is where you, yeah.
	To start off, some news happened today.
	You, this morning, were supposed to meet with the president on infrastructure.
	But that meeting didn't really happen, as I understand it, from Twitter and the news and cable.
	Could you tell us what happened and what your thoughts are on that meeting or lack thereof?
	I'm happy to convey...
	My impression of what happened this morning, but not before I thank you, Mayor, for your incredible leadership and cap for ideas.
	That's a big word.
	I got to be honest with you, John.
	It's kind of unlistenable.
	Oh, well, it sounds fine coming over.
	No, this has also slowed down.
	Oh.
	You don't hear that?
	Well, it seems like it could be off about 5%, yeah.
	Could be.
	You don't have to play it.
	Well, I'm just wondering how many of your clips have this today.
	Probably a few of them.
	Okay.
	Well, we can't play Nancy Pelosi anymore because then it's wrong.
	Something very wrong about covering the story with slowed down clips which were not intentionally slowed down.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Well, she sounds terrible.
	She does.
	I mean, I don't care what you play, Pelosi, in any of her press conferences.
	Yeah, you can clip it out and make her sound worse, but she just sounds bad anyway.
	She stammers and she does what Ron Paul used to do when Ron Paul was excited.
	He'd clip words.
	We're going to MP, and then she'd go on with something else.
	She would never finish a word.
	She'd say MP instead of impeach.
	Ron Paul would do that?
	Ron Paul did it constantly.
	He would always clip words and so as he spoke he would not finish a word because he didn't think it was necessary.
	And I got plenty of examples of it, but she's doing it all the time.
	I think a lot of people that are, I don't know how you develop this habit, it just seems like a habit that you develop somehow.
	I'm just cutting off words.
	Well, there's also something to be said for her being in her late 70s.
	You know, it's like, hey, it's like Nadler.
	Like, holy crap, how old is Nadler?
	Nadler's 71.
	Well, Nadler is in deep trouble as far as I'm concerned.
	That wasn't just some fainting that guy did.
	He looked like he had something a little more serious take place.
	We had an EMS guy, EMR, whatever they're called.
	EMS. EMT. EMT. Yeah.
	Yeah, he sent me a note.
	He says, you know, this does happen with dehydration with older people.
	He says he's seen it before.
	It may not be anything that anyone thinks.
	Well, it didn't look good.
	He looked very confused.
	But again, you're 71 and you're dehydrated.
	Yeah.
	He's got a big bucket of water in front of him.
	Why don't you take a sip?
	Except if you're Hillary Clinton, then it doesn't quite count if you fall down because of the heat.
	But Jerry Nadler, it's okay.
	What I thought was interesting is with de Blasio, the way he approached the situation.
	But I certainly want to see us have the ability to add more when we need them.
	And I think the congressman's right about that fact.
	Jerry, you want some?
	Yeah, I got some.
	Jerry, take a drink.
	You look a little dehydrated, brother.
	I love this.
	You look dehydrated, brother.
	But since when is this?
	It's like brother.
	You seem a little dehydrated.
	You okay?
	Hey, bro.
	You want to take a drink with us and give yourself some?
	How do you feel, man?
	How do you feel, man?
	You okay, brother?
	You all right?
	You all right?
	What is this brother business?
	Brother, man.
	That's what you say to someone you really don't know, really don't probably even want to converse with?
	I mean, those are two total strangers.
	If a guy says, hey, how you doing there, brother, when the guy's clearly not doing okay, it's not like, hey, Jer, how you doing?
	Hey, Nadster.
	No, none of that.
	Nadster.
	Brother.
	Hey, brother.
	Well, he didn't look good, especially in the close-up video that somebody made.
	Right.
	But this is really the bottom line.
	I saw nothing but friendly mainstream media doing anything possible to distract people away from the fact that the leadership of representatives, because they're not our leaders, they lead the representation by some mechanism, That they are older.
	And, you know, hey, everyone gets old and I'm going to get older and we're all going to get crutchety and messed up and make stupid mistakes.
	I already look like a moron dancing.
	So, you know, I would hate to be in their position.
	But, hey, isn't it telling us something?
	And why don't we see a little news coverage of, hey, you know, at what point...
	Does your cognitive skills, maybe you should think about retiring if you're hitting 80 in Congress.
	And you're passing out on the dice, well seated.
	Yeah.
	I think that's a valid conversation to have, isn't it?
	No, apparently that's not possible.
	And where is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, by the way?
	Where is she?
	She's hanging in there.
	No, she's not.
	She hasn't been back to work.
	She has.
	She was back to work one day.
	You're telling me she's still at work?
	That she's been back to work?
	I thought so.
	That was my understanding.
	That's what the media has led me to believe.
	I have a feeling she hasn't been back to work at all.
	Let me see.
	When is the last time...
	She could be in an iron lung, for all we know.
	Maybe.
	But, you know, I don't know.
	I'd have to see some evidence that she's actually back at work.
	Because she could...
	I mean, not saying this...
	Saying this just with...
	Not trying to be mean, but if she had passed away, that would be easy to keep quiet.
	If it was necessary, like, oh, we can't have Orange Man Bad putting another Supreme Court justice on.
	No, we can't have that.
	Look, we faked a moon landing.
	I'm sure we can fake Ruth Bader Ginsburg going to work, but I haven't even seen that.
	You know, someone with, you know, just kind of bustling into the Supreme Court.
	Yeah.
	If someone has any evidence, I'd like to know that she's still okay.
	Okay, now I got a clip for you.
	Okay.
	All right.
	This is Pelosi again, but this time she's on the...
	This is the interview that Brzezinski is talking about her being sharp as a tack.
	Doesn't it put more pressure on you that a conservative Republican says the threshold for impeachment has been met?
	This isn't about politics.
	It's not about passion.
	It's not about prejudice.
	It's not about politics.
	It's about patriotism.
	It's about the presentation of the facts so that the American people can see why we're going down a certain path.
	The American people elected him president.
	Not by the popular vote, but by the...
	The college.
	The electoral college.
	So I respect the office that he holds.
	Okay.
	And I think I respect the office that the president holds more than he respects the office that he holds.
	And I do believe that we must hold him accountable to a high ethical standard, which he has not met, to integrity, level of integrity that he has not met.
	And actually, a respect for governance.
	Science and other imperatives that we have.
	So this is, we have a moment.
	But the fact is, is that at the same time, we have to try to find common ground to work with him.
	She knows better.
	You know, you sit there home and you watch her say things like, I pray for the president.
	He's clearly not well and needs an intervention.
	And you think, does she really mean that?
	No, she doesn't mean it.
	You played the definitive clip about a month ago.
	Which is her clip going off on Bush.
	Oh, right, right, right, right.
	Yeah, old, let me see, Nancy Pelosi, what was it, it was 19, it was an old one, wasn't it?
	Yeah, it was from the 92 or before, no, it was about George H.W. Bush, so it had to be around 1989 or something like that.
	Yeah, it was 60 Minutes, I think.
	Yeah.
	Well, anyway, yes, that was the definitive clip because she's always been like that.
	But she knows better.
	She knows that there is no grounds for impeachment.
	Otherwise, she'd do it.
	The 25th Amendment is...
	Literally about being incapable of performing, really incapacitated.
	Can't walk.
	Or talk, or whatever it is, or can't communicate.
	So on one hand, she said, oh, clearly something's wrong with him.
	He's not of sound mind and needs an intervention, but she will not allow impeachment proceedings.
	She has mentioned the 25th Amendment herself just recently.
	Right, but it's just bullshit.
	It's a bullshit.
	She's just throwing it out there.
	However, with Nancy stonewalling that, oh no, there's money to go around.
	Axe Blue is up in arms and they're taking out advertisements on MSNBC. This is a message for leaders of the Democratic Party.
	For over two years, this president has broken the law and nothing happened.
	You told us to wait for the Mueller investigation.
	And when he showed obstruction of justice, nothing happened.
	When this president took money from foreign governments and blocked the release of his tax returns, nothing happened.
	And when his administration illegally refused to testify, nothing happened.
	Now you tell us to wait for the next election?
	Really?
	This is why we volunteered.
	Raised money.
	Went door to door.
	And voted in the last election.
	Our founding fathers expected you, Congress, to hold a lawless president accountable.
	And you're doing nothing.
	Nothing.
	Nothing!
	He broke his oath of office.
	He's defying you.
	He's laughing at you.
	And he's getting away with it.
	This is our democracy.
	But Congress is part of the system.
	And the system is broken.
	We have to fix it.
	Need to Impeach is responsible for the content of this advertising.
	Need to Impeach, everybody.
	Need to Impeach.
	This is now, they've taken this so far now, it's been on to three years.
	That means that every president now, whoever gets in, Obama could have gone through this if he wasn't black.
	Sure, yes.
	He probably would have.
	Yeah, it probably would have.
	But this all stems from Nixon and stems from, you know, then Clinton getting impeached.
	He actually got impeached.
	And they went through with it.
	And as the Republicans say, it didn't really help us.
	No.
	It ended up hurting us because it really irks the people.
	Because they never got anywhere with it.
	You didn't get them kicked out of office.
	So what was the point?
	Just a process of humiliation.
	Yes.
	And that's what they're doing.
	And it irks.
	It really makes people angry.
	It turns out that 26% of the US public thinks impeachment proceedings should begin.
	That's a very low number.
	And that's from the hardcore lefties.
	And it's going to irk everybody else if they go ahead with this.
	And that's what Pelosi knows this.
	And that's why she's trying to keep these guys under wraps.
	But there's a bunch of gung-ho jerk-offs like Al Green that are just going to keep pushing for it.
	And all these young people, they don't know.
	The AOCs and these other Omar and the rest of them, they think it's great.
	It just sounds good.
	Let's do it.
	I was going to say, two things happened on Thursday, on a show day, of course, that warrant discussion.
	One is the declassification of any and all documentation relating to any collusion.
	The second one is the Assange indictment under the Espionage Act.
	Which one would you like to tackle first?
	Well, I would say that the first one...
	It's probably more appropriate to where we've been chatting so far.
	Then we get to Assange.
	Okay.
	So that was exactly it.
	It was a full declassification order.
	I think it was an executive order.
	Everyone has to cooperate with Attorney General Barr.
	And, of course, it doesn't mean that we're going to see everything.
	No, no, no, no.
	You're not going to see anything.
	Except we're going to see Brennan whining.
	Well, I like how you're seeing people blame each other.
	Yeah.
	This is always kind of like a precursor to something coming out that someone did something wrong.
	It seems like a lot of people want to point towards Comey.
	Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, for sure.
	Welcome back to Fox and Friends First.
	Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch claims that she never told James Comey to call the Hillary Clinton email probe a matter instead of an investigation.
	We were getting to a place where the Attorney General and I were both going to have to testify and talk publicly about it.
	And I want to know, was she going to authorize us to confirm we had an investigation?
	And she said, yes, but don't call it that.
	Call it a matter.
	And I said, why would I do that?
	And she said, just call it a matter.
	Not so fast.
	Lynch now says the former FBI director mischaracterized her statements.
	That is according to a newly released transcript of Lynch's testimony on Capitol Hill last year.
	Lynch also said that she was, quote, surprised that Comey used the word matter in reference to the Clinton email probe.
	So more to come on that.
	Oh, this is delicious.
	I never said matter.
	I didn't say that to you, James.
	But you did.
	I think that's juicy.
	Yeah, that is a good one.
	But again, if you get back to the basics and go back to your buddy Al DeGenova, whatever his name is.
	DeGenova.
	DeGenova, that guy.
	Yeah.
	He just blames the whole thing on Brennan.
	He says he was the real...
	He was the real conspirator.
	Right, but we can't lose sight of what this is really about.
	All of this was put into play because more than likely Clinton, but possibly with other members of the Obama administration...
	From 2012 to 2016 were spying on political opponents and probably Democrats, really, to be honest, leading up to the election.
	They were using the NSA database and that spying is what got them in trouble because then they started to use that on Trump.
	There were information coming in from the State Department to have people unmasked.
	Very strange way for that to take place.
	And they basically got caught.
	That's the clip that you played of Admiral Rogers.
	Oh, I got all this stuff going on.
	People are just looking up Americans for no reason, no warrant.
	And that's when he stopped that capability.
	But by then, they were found out.
	If Clinton wasn't going to be president, this would come to light.
	Trump became president.
	We've got to cover this up.
	So that's where Brennan, who was probably a big part of that initial spying, was brought in or brought in the Steele dossier and made it all happen.
	It's really not about any of that.
	It's about spying on political opponents, American citizens.
	Which is what you do when you have the mechanism.
	Yes.
	It shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.
	That's what the FBI has been doing since it's been created.
	The crazy thing is, it was Brennan and it was Mueller who were there when this was put into place after 9-11, and they swore, oh yeah, we'll make sure.
	This is never used for any other reason than as specifically stated in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court charter.
	It'll never be used to spy on Americans.
	The very same guys who did it and covered it up.
	Of course.
	That's the way you do it.
	But no one is really, except for Joe DeGenoa, my buddy.
	He's the only guy, and he's a kook, which makes it that much harder for people to understand.
	So frustrating.
	How will we ever win?
	Well, then there's Trey Gowdy who, he claims that there is exculpatory evidence that was recorded and exculpatory means clearly shows the person is not guilty of whatever they're being accused of.
	And when you go and get a warrant to spy on someone or if you're accusing someone or if you're indicting someone and you withhold the evidence that could show that he or she is innocent, Please tell me that's some kind of law-breaking, John.
	Tell me there's something with that.
	It depends on the rules, but yes.
	Okay.
	Well, here's Trey Gowdy talking with the money-honey about it.
	I touched the money-honey the wrong way, and she went away.
	The FBI agent's conversations with George Papadopoulos is because when an FBI agent sends in informants to someone they're looking at, typically those conversations are recorded, right?
	Those people are wired.
	Yeah, I mean, if the Bureau is going to send an informant in, the informant is going to be wired.
	And if the Bureau is monitoring telephone calls, there's going to be a transcript of that.
	And some of us have been fortunate enough to know whether or not those transcripts exist, but they haven't been made public.
	And I think one in particular is going, it has the potential to actually persuade people.
	Very little in this Russia probe, I'm afraid, is going to persuade people who hate Trump or who love Trump.
	But there is some information in these transcripts that I think has the potential to be a game changer if it's ever made public.
	By the way, this was prior to the declassification order.
	...evidence.
	And when people see that, they're going to say, wait, why wasn't this presented to the court earlier?
	Yeah, you know, Johnny Ratcliffe is rightfully exercised over the obligations that the government has to tell the whole truth to a court when you are seeking permission to spy or do surveillance on an American.
	And part of that includes the responsibility of providing exculpatory information or information that tends to show the person did not do something wrong.
	If you have exculpatory information and you don't share it with the court, that ain't good.
	I've seen it.
	Johnny's seen it.
	It ain't good.
	Okay, I don't know if it's breaking any laws, but apparently that ain't good, John.
	So, I don't know if that gets us anywhere.
	Gets us anywhere.
	That ain't good.
	Yeah.
	Oh, well.
	That whole thing is, yeah.
	We'll see.
	I mean, Barr does have this.
	It's got everybody bent out of shape.
	Mostly Brennan.
	He's on, I don't think he's going to have any clips.
	Has he been on any, has he been a pundit anywhere?
	Yeah, he was on just recently.
	He was on bitching about this.
	Oh, I missed it.
	He was bitching about this Thinking about Barr being able to just unlock stuff.
	And he's going on and on.
	Brennan goes on and on.
	He speaks for the entire intelligence community.
	I wish I had that clip.
	He speaks for the entire intelligence community when he stammeringly says, oh, everybody in the intelligence community is upset about this because it's not the way it should be done.
	And he goes on and on.
	He says, just careless, reckless, reckless of the president to do something like this.
	And he's really like, what is his problem?
	Everybody, I mean, if you look at the Genoa or listen to Ray McGovern, who nobody will talk to anymore because he's been banned from everything.
	McGovern says they're running like, you know, scared, guilty people.
	Well, let's remember these famous words of John Brennan.
	People are innocent until, you know, alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity.
	There you go.
	I don't know.
	I don't think he's safe anymore.
	Alleged.
	Alleged criminal activity.
	You're guilty.
	You're not guilty until it's alleged.
	Well, I think he's in some trouble there.
	Yeah, well, by his own standards, he is.
	Yeah.
	Unbelievable.
	Okay, so Assange.
	Yes.
	Assange, now this is interesting.
	Actually, I have a clip for this, I think.
	Yes, under the heading Press Freedoms, because that's what this is, that's what this will be talked about as usual.
	There's no such thing as Press Freedoms, I just want to remind everybody.
	There's a Freedom of the Press, which is, per our Constitution in the United States, it varies by country.
	The United Kingdom has no Freedom of the Press.
	You get a denotis, a shut-up slave, and just stop it.
	Here is, let me see, I don't know where this is from.
	This is about the...
	What does D stand for?
	Doofus?
	I don't know.
	D, I don't know.
	Someone will be able to tell us.
	Breaking news in our world, the Justice Department announcing more charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
	Let's get right to CNN's Laura Jarrett at the Justice Department.
	Laura, what are the details of this indictment?
	Well, Jake, this is a pretty aggressive new move by the Justice Department, essentially tacking on 17 new charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
	We had seen a single charge of computer intrusion late last month, but now 17 new charges, much more significant, and really a big deal here for First Amendment advocates, and a concern here because he's being charged with Unlawfully obtaining, soliciting, encouraging that former intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning with obtaining just a bevy of national defense materials.
	And he's being charged with publishing those materials.
	And so the Justice Department asked today, well, what's the difference between Julian Assange and journalists like you and I? And they said, let's be clear, Julian Assange is no journalist.
	Another justice official said he's not being charged simply because he's a publisher.
	And what they're pointing to is not only the fact that Assange allegedly helped Manning crack into a Department of Defense password, but also the fact that he published confidential human sources, the names of human sources, which put them in danger.
	And he knew that publishing would put them in danger.
	He solicited those materials on Wicked Leagues.
	And that's what they're pointing to, which makes this case different, Jake.
	And Laura, what does this mean for Assange?
	And has WikiLeaks responded?
	They have.
	They have said this is madness.
	It's the end of national security journalism and the First Amendment.
	So obviously a pretty aggressive response from WikiLeaks there.
	But you know, this is something that the prior administration really struggled with under the same set of facts.
	Under the prior Justice Department, Eric Holder declined to prosecute Julian Assange under the espionage for just this idea because the idea is, well, what would separate this from the New York Times publishing classified information?
	And I should also point out, you might wonder why we're seeing this today.
	The Justice Department actually had 60 days from when he was arrested last month.
	And so there was a sort of window for when they could tack on these new charges.
	I think the 60 days is for extradition, maybe?
	Is that the idea behind that?
	I don't care about any of this.
	This guy's not even an American.
	How can they charge him with anything?
	Well, there is a Wikipedia page for the Espionage Act of 1917, the United States federal law.
	How many people have been found guilty under this Espionage Act, even though we've gone through two world wars and Vietnam War and we've had all these other police actions around the world and potential for espionage and people were blowing up trains in World War II and all the rest?
	How many people have been charged and found guilty?
	I don't think...
	I don't know how many have been actually found guilty.
	Zero, I think.
	Interestingly enough, Daniel Ellsberg, who was the whistleblower of the Pentagon Papers, he was hauled before the court.
	He actually did the whole act.
	He grabbed the papers and he released the papers.
	Julian Assange was acting as a journalist in this regard because he didn't go steal the papers.
	And by the way, let's get back to my point.
	He's not an American.
	He's a citizen of Australia.
	He's living in England.
	What is the jurisdiction?
	I'm asking about jurisdiction here.
	What jurisdiction do we have to charge this guy under any act, espionage or other?
	Where's our jurisdiction here?
	He's not an American.
	He's not committing espionage.
	Okay, can I ask you a question?
	I mean, I understand you've made this point.
	You keep making it over and over again.
	Gaddafi was not an American.
	We went over there and shot him up the ass.
	I mean, what is your point?
	I mean, this is a fucking stupid argument.
	Yes, he's not an American.
	No, it's not a stupid argument.
	Well, to make it over and over again, I don't think it matters.
	It's never being addressed.
	Well, but what is there to say?
	I don't think it matters.
	I think the United States, if they want to charge anybody under anything, the Jaywalking Act, they'll do it!
	They have no jurisdiction over this guy.
	Not until he's here.
	If they get him here, then all of a sudden, I think you've got...
	Even if they get him here, what's the jurisdiction?
	He's not a citizen of the United States.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	Is the world police going to swoop in and say, Hold on a second.
	You can't prosecute that young man.
	Well, the problem with the world police is that we're the world police.
	Exactly.
	So, give it up already.
	I'm not.
	But I think there's something else going on here.
	I think this is for one of two reasons.
	Either, somehow, and this has Trump's greasy fingerprints on it, Either, hey, we're going to use this guy to show what you can't do, somehow we'll finagle this into the law to show that if you are publishing things that are just given to you from inside the American government or intelligence sources, they want to stop that for obvious reasons.
	And there's a lot of leaking, particularly when it comes to stuff about Trump.
	And it's been very damaging to him.
	And so he may want to use this as a case to stop it.
	Or...
	It's meant to let Julie Assange go free because I don't see any court who could convict him on this.
	I have felt the exact same way.
	I think this may just...
	They overcharge him with stuff that's bullcrap, the espionage law being the most obvious.
	Where's the Logan Act?
	Anyway, the espionage laws...
	Or bull crap, and he's going to go free, and that's the idea.
	I think that's a distinct possibility, because we know that Trump was happy about Assange, but he has to put up a false front here.
	To make it look as though he's getting tough.
	But he likes the fact that Julian Assange got him elected as president.
	Yes, of course he does.
	And this may be just a get-out-of-jail-free card.
	To answer your earlier question, in 2001, retired Army Reserve Colonel George Tofimov was indicted under the act and convicted of conducting espionage.
	Kenneth Wayne Ford Jr.
	indicted for allegedly having a box of documents in his house after he left NSA. He was sentenced to six years in prison.
	It's not like this hasn't worked.
	In 2005, Pentagon Iran expert Loris Franklin and lobbyist Rosen Weissman were indicted under the act.
	Let's see.
	Franklin was sentenced to 12 years, later reduced to 10 months of home confinement.
	So it seems like, yeah, maybe not such a big 12 years to 10 months.
	Damn.
	12 years to 10 months of home confinement?
	That's a pretty good lobby right there, man.
	Good job on that.
	Alexander Jeffrey Sterling, former CIA agent, indicted on the act in January 2011.
	Unauthorized disclosure of national defense information to James Risen.
	You remember that?
	Yeah, well how come Hillary hasn't been indicted under this then?
	This is not for elites!
	This is not for lizards!
	This is for humans!
	These laws are not for the shapeshifters, John.
	They get to do whatever they want.
	But yes, I think we're both kind of in agreement that this is like, oh, make it look really, really bad, and then I don't even know if they'll go to trial with it.
	They'll come up with some, ah, well, something.
	It just doesn't feel like they're really going to do this.
	And the way the press is responding, they're not really all freaked out about it, so they must not think it's real either.
	There's a little bit of this, oh, well, how is it different from NBC? Well, NBC is fake.
	Maybe one way to look at it.
	It's quite different from NBC, in fact.
	I just thought that was, yeah.
	Well, we'll see.
	We'll see.
	I still question the jurisdiction issues.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the notice that comes before the D notice, John C. Dvorak!
	Oh, by the way, the D notice stands for defense.
	Defense.
	Thank you.
	Defense.
	Hello.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships, sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs, and where are all the dames and knights out there.
	Well, in the morning to the troll room.
	Easy does it.
	Trolls at noagendastream.com.
	Good to see you all there.
	And thank you for showing up.
	Noagendastream.com 24-7.
	You can hear all kinds of groovy stuff.
	Also, in the morning, too, data, data, data, data.
	Only a few pieces of artwork uploaded to noagendaartgenerator.com, but this one caught our eye.
	It was the Spitzenkandidat, and we used that for episode 1140.
	The title of that episode was Imperious, and we want to thank data, data, whoever that is, a relatively unknown artist, for bringing us that.
	I even saw some Europeans retweeting it, mainly based on the art.
	They thought it was cute in regard to the elections taking place this weekend.
	So thank you very much.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	We love everyone who participates in our Value for Value network.
	That includes producers of the executive kind and associate executive producers.
	We'd like to thank them up front in the show, just like Hollywood.
	Tell you what they said.
	Tell you how they contributed.
	And we start off, I believe, with an anonymous donation.
	Yes.
	As a matter of fact, we do have our top donation.
	It is anonymous.
	Oh, you know what?
	You know, I have his note.
	Unfortunately, I left it over on the other desk.
	So, hold on one second.
	Okay.
	Just to fill up the time.
	It's always fun to do.
	Because they always come through the squirrel mail.
	And then he prints it out on his prints of the squirrel.
	Leaves it on the other side of the room.
	But that's okay.
	He's off to get it.
	His name is J.C. Dvorak, and you know that he likes to print out things from the best mail program in the universe.
	We're just in time.
	What time is it?
	Anonymous.
	It says right across the top.
	Send a check in, obviously.
	Here, John and Adam.
	I've been a listener since the fall of 2015 when I was working 14-hour days installing Windows operating systems in retail stores.
	My goodness, that is a harsh gig.
	Yeah.
	At the time, No Agenda was one of many podcasts I would listen to during my commute to work and to college.
	Now, however, the quality of both sound and content has made No Agenda stand above all others in the universe.
	Thank you.
	Every time Adam has groaned about low donations or about ending the show, I have screamed in my car, wallowing in my flagrant douchebaggery.
	But low residual jobs karma has collected money.
	Collected, that's what it says, upon me like dirt on a popsicle.
	That's a very good analogy.
	I, like any other producer, would prefer to present this InstaNight donation in something as Raven announces John to the stage.
	Hopefully a check will do as well.
	He's also an Eagle Scout, a dude named Ben, and a ham soon-to-be.
	Makes so much sense.
	Thank you for all that you do.
	Very common.
	If he was a Marine, it'd be even more common.
	Well, so he needs a dedouching and some karma, doesn't he?
	Or he has some specific requests?
	I'm still reading.
	Okay.
	Thank you for all that you do to conserve the stress of amygdalas across the globe.
	Please knight me Sir Rib Ear.
	Ribbeer.
	Ribbeer.
	Sir Ribbeer.
	Please de-douche.
	You've been de-douced.
	Jobs, karma, and he has jingles.
	Hold on a second.
	This is not on my list, so it's anonymous.
	It's not on your list.
	Becomes Sir...
	What was it?
	Rib-R-I-B-E-A-R. Ribbeer.
	Okay.
	And does he need anything at the table for the round table?
	Doesn't say.
	Okay.
	But he wants that's wrong, chemtrails, that's true, and a Hillary laugh.
	That's wrong?
	That's wrong, which is...
	That's wrong.
	I think that's a Peterson clip.
	Okay.
	Chemtrails, which is a favorite of yours.
	That's true.
	That's true.
	And a Hillary laugh.
	Hmm.
	I can't find it.
	That's wrong.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's wrong.
	That's true.
	See, I didn't have this one set up.
	And then a Hillary laugh or a cackle?
	Just says laugh.
	And chemtrails.
	Okay, let's see.
	And chemtrails.
	Why wouldn't we have all of that stuff?
	Okay.
	That's wrong.
	That's true.
	Chemtrails.
	I'll throw into karma, too.
	You thought.
	I don't know what that was.
	I tried, okay?
	That was good.
	I mean, it was funnier than it would, I think.
	I don't know what happened there.
	All right.
	Oh, you know, you've exposed yourself as someone who prepares.
	No, well, normally I prepare, yes, of course.
	Yes, sir.
	You're a preparer.
	I try.
	Sir Stephen of Oswego, $756 even.
	Completing out my baronet C, counting below, and rounding up to make At 18 times 42.
	Oh, I like that.
	Shape-shifting donation.
	Yeah, the shape-shifting donation times 42 that answered everything in the universe.
	Nice.
	That's Jewish lucky times the meaning of life.
	The universe and everything.
	It's got to make it super extra lucky, right?
	All I need is karma.
	I didn't get the divorce karma I requested in March, but I guess the universe decided my knighthood was enough, so I got through it.
	Just finished buying a townhouse so the kids have a stable home base.
	So this karma is for my smoking hot girlfriend that I can turn into a new MILF someday.
	Wow.
	I love your goals, my friend.
	Thank you, Sir Stephen of Oswego.
	MILF? That's one mother I like.
	You've got karma.
	James Vargas coming up with $666.
	Jersey City, New Jersey.
	My first donation was exactly two years ago when I played No Agenda on a road trip for my girlfriend, and she asked me if I'd ever donated.
	Good for her.
	I love her with all my heart, and I promptly de-douched myself.
	Fast forward two years, and we've now created our own true crime podcast, Direct Appeal.
	My girlfriend's a criminologist and is in exclusive interviews with a woman whom the media dubbed...
	The suitcase killer.
	The suitcase killer for the murder of her husband.
	She claims her innocence and we are exploring the case, which is...
	Detective Dookie!
	It's a classic podcasting genre.
	Yes, it's very popular.
	Yes, I have supported a No Agenda show in several ways over the years by creating artwork three times...
	and having the honor of being on record as the first to identify Mark Pugner.
	Oh, yes.
	But I wanted to give the podfather his due in his own words, and would be honored to have Adam credited as producer at large for our podcast.
	I've taken many of Adam's studio tips to heart, and I sincerely doubt we would have this show without my patronage to this show.
	No agenda.
	So credit where credit is due.
	I'm so thrilled to finally be a knight and choose the name Sir Snores-A-Lot.
	Outstanding.
	I'm going to listen to that.
	I'm going to listen to your show.
	Was it called Direct Appeal?
	The true crime genre, and what's interesting about the true crime genre is that at least four of them have now gone on to become either Netflix or Amazon series.
	Yeah.
	So that, you can really boost into something crazy, crazy good for that.
	Yeah, can't do it with our show.
	No.
	Can you imagine?
	I'm not getting on Netflix anytime soon.
	Hey, I got a Netflix special.
	No, no, no, no.
	That's very good.
	Yeah.
	Did you give him?
	Oh, yeah, you did.
	You gave him karma.
	Did I? No, I'm going to do it right now.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, go check that out, everybody.
	Direct appeal.
	Oh, from Japan.
	Oh, wow.
	They jumped on a bandwagon here, and they're in Tokyo, to great architects.
	World famous.
	55.
	Some of the best in the world, these two are.
	Best world-class architects.
	Wishing you lots of happiness and countless candles around the bathtub.
	Wink.
	Wink, wink.
	Yeah.
	That's Daymaster picking up on that little meme.
	Oh, yeah.
	That I identified.
	But Adam, take those hearing aids out before you take a dive, lest you get electrocuted.
	At weddings in Japan, it's a custom to give elaborate envelopes, which we'll send by snail mail later, with money gifts for good luck out of an enumeration that cannot be split in two.
	So it's always a tradition never to be able to split in two.
	So that's thus 555-55.
	Okay.
	Interesting how these traditions, we have the Jewish multiples of 18, we have Japanese can't be split in two, which makes sense, so you have a union, a unity.
	It's cool.
	John, would you send a lavish Japanese wedding envelope too?
	Of course, if you want to get married more often.
	Oh, I see.
	Okay.
	From Tokyo with love to the whole enterprise, Dame Astrid, Sir Mark, Duke and Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japanese Sea.
	Long, long, long time supporters of the podcast, The No Agenda Show.
	Thank you so much.
	It's very kind.
	I'm going to give them a karma just because we love them.
	You've got karma.
	And we learned something.
	Cannot be split in two.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, that's a new one.
	Yes.
	Well, we also learned back on Valentine's Day that the chocolates are bought for the men from Dame Astrid.
	Oh, that's right.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Men get a good deal in Japan.
	Yeah.
	Duke Jean.
	Ah, there he is.
	The old Republic of Texas.
	Also the sheriff.
	The sheriff.
	Yeah.
	Thanks for the well wishes.
	Karma for my father's full recovery.
	Sorry I missed seeing everyone at the wedding.
	Atlas Shrug plus Monsanto 73s.
	K-5-S-T-B-E. I think I pulled those.
	K-5.
	K-5.
	K-5-T-B-E. Well, we like to say kilo five in the jargon.
	Oh, that didn't go well.
	Try again.
	By Ayn Rand.
	Thanks, Gene.
	You've got karma.
	I'm glad everything's okay.
	I'm glad you're back in ATX. Oh, this is not a good note.
	I'm unemployed for 11 months now.
	Maybe it was that period of time where we're doing the wrong jobs.
	I'm going to give him a new...
	Remember that?
	Yeah, could be.
	We had this thing.
	I've mentioned this to newcomers or people that didn't hear it the first time.
	When we had the Seattle meetup, somebody came up to me and told me that the jobs karma that included Trump saying jobs, jobs, job, jinxed him.
	And he didn't work for about a year.
	Same as this guy.
	Hmm.
	And we were doling out that faulty job.
	Left and right.
	Left and right, yeah.
	Yeah, we were doling out that faulty job.
	Shit was tainted.
	It was off.
	It was past the date.
	It was tainted karma.
	Yeah, and we did that for some time, which we came up with the Trump one, but then we've now since...
	We've reverted, yeah.
	We don't use it anymore under any circumstances.
	Although somebody did request it once on purpose.
	Unemployed for 11 months now, we're trying to buy a business, a seller house, move to northern Minnesota and find a house in the tough housing market, little or no inventory in the North Shore, and running into unexpected, undisclosed buy-seller delays complications.
	Only request karma.
	Thanks for the great show.
	I hit my son, a Zoomer, in the mouth five years ago, and you're keeping his sanity as he struggles to In the college campus culture.
	Excellent.
	Well, what do you think we should do?
	I mean, he says, I only want karma, but can we just give him the old school official Nancy Jobs karma?
	He didn't request it.
	I don't think we should give it to him.
	Okay.
	Thank you, Servility.
	You've got karma.
	But he should be at least aware of the fact that we had this defective product.
	So let's put it this way.
	If he goes back and he finds out that he did receive the defective product, we'd be more than happy to give him a full-on Nancy Jobs karma.
	Just let us know.
	Yeah.
	Of course.
	We're always good for that.
	It's a worldwide recall.
	Yes.
	Anyone who had, yes, if you had the Trump jobs karma, consider this your recall and let your dealer know so that we can set you straight and do you right.
	Christopher Walker comes at $200.01.
	In the morning, thank you for your courage.
	The No Agenda Show is the best podcast in the universe, without a doubt.
	Good tidings to you, Potfather and Mrs.
	Potfather as well.
	Also to the author of the future best-selling vinegar book, Good Tidings, Sir.
	Ah, lest I forget the squeaky chair karma.
	Please, for the chair, or we will not hear the end of it.
	Now down to brass tacks.
	The show is great.
	In observance of Memorial Day, I'd like to ask for this.
	Karma, please, for the family and friends of Dustin Kreider.
	While we were in Iraq, I watched poor Dustin Kreider get shot in the face in chess during a test fire tragedy during 2004.
	There were no bands playing when he died, and it wasn't very glorious.
	Okay, well, give him some karma then.
	Well, and thank you for helping everyone remember what Memorial Day truly is about.
	It is about the fallen, men and women, fallen.
	And for most, it's a mattress sale, I think, is how we celebrate that in America.
	It's quite disgusting.
	Red tank.
	Coming from a long line of military and intelligence operatives in the United States.
	Thank you for reminding us, Christopher.
	And this, of course, goes out to Dustin and his family.
	You've got karma.
	Very good.
	Sir Mark Wilson wraps things up.
	He's the Baron of Glasgow.
	Gents, the show has been excellent as always.
	Can I please have a jobs karma with a side of I've Got Ants?
	Cheers, Sir Mark Wilson, Baron of Gladys.
	Seems like we should be able to do at least a little bit of that.
	Thank you very much.
	You got your karma coming up in a few minutes after we hear from John and the ants.
	I got ants.
	I got ants. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Always a fan favorite.
	Always.
	So I want to thank these folks there, the producers and executive producers, for show 1141.
	Yeah, and I got something in my P.O. box.
	P.O. Box 18209, 78760 in Austin, Texas.
	It was from Sir D.H. Slammer and the whole family.
	It's always so cute.
	This is a family that listens to No Agenda as a family.
	Yes, Sir D.H. Slammer, Dame Bang Bang.
	We've got Sir Andrew, Master Emmett, and who am I forgetting here?
	Here we are.
	The Baron and Baroness of the Central California Coast Ventura to Santa Cruz, Dame Simona of the Purple Goat, Sir Andrew Keeper of the Mountains, and Master Emmett selected this fine craft brew while we are spirit-tasting in Big Bear, California.
	Hey, don't worry about it.
	The kids can hold their liquor.
	And he sent us a nice six-pack of Blonde 33, which made a lot of sense to us, of course.
	And it was nice to receive a letter in the P.O. box, which was sealed by night sealing wax and the signet ring.
	You too could have one of those.
	Or you could just feel good about being a part of the No Agenda Value for Value network.
	It's very simple.
	You heard this show?
	Did you learn anything?
	Was it worth anything to you?
	If it was, send us that equivalent to Dvorak.org slash NA or actually go over there and see what you could do because you can do a lot.
	Thank you to these executive producers and associate executive producers.
	Valuable credits that are accepted anywhere.
	True, true show business credits are recognized.
	Dvorak.org Slash and aim.
	That's right!
	We got it all right here.
	It's called hitting people in the mouth.
	You gotta propagate.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	The sharpest attack.
	Shut up, slave.
	Okie dokie.
	We have a bunch of these guys coming out of the woodwork, these never-Trumpers.
	They put them on the air and give them all this time.
	It's annoying.
	Yeah, it's kind of annoying we even talk about it here.
	It is.
	So what do you got then?
	This guy, Tom Coleman.
	Oh, a new guy.
	Who's this guy?
	No, he's an old guy.
	He was a Trump hater.
	He got kicked out of office.
	And so now he shows up on CNN talking about how the president should be impeached.
	I don't even know if we should play it.
	Probably not.
	Okay, then let's go.
	How about this?
	Very interesting, I've helped several people immigrate into the United States.
	Yes, you have.
	Yes, and through official means, official ways, and I haven't married all of them, just so you know.
	And I'm always happy to help.
	But there is a very specific...
	When you petition, that's the official term, when you petition for someone to legally immigrate into the United States, there comes responsibility with that.
	Actually, quite a big responsibility, which is you stand...
	What is the term I'm looking for?
	You guarantee that if anything goes wrong with this person in their trial period...
	Yes, you get deported.
	Ha ha ha!
	You don't get deported.
	No, you won't get deported.
	But you are responsible for any cost or anything, any burden on society.
	It's spelled out quite clearly.
	And this has been part of law for, in fact, I think it was in the 1996, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act took it one step further.
	In the welfare reform laws enacted by Clinton, who was then president, the law stated that immigrants should not depend on public resources to meet their needs, but this has never been enforced.
	Although, I've always felt that, you know, I'm responsible.
	Something happens, I know they can come to me.
	Never happened, there was never a reason for it, but it turns out this thing has never been enforced.
	Never!
	Never!
	And this includes social services.
	More interesting, Martha McCollum on Fox News has no idea about this.
	So with regard to immigration, there was an announcement today that basically people who had sponsored immigrants to come into the country are going to be responsible for repaying any of the benefits that they take advantage of.
	How's that going to work?
	Well, absolutely.
	It's actually already codified into law.
	It was passed.
	It's in 1996, signed by Bill Clinton.
	It just hasn't been enforced.
	Shockingly, the swamp takes over again.
	But this president says no more.
	It's time for those sponsors who said that they would pay for dollar-for-dollar matches to any federal program that paid for immigrants.
	It's time for them to have some skin in the game here.
	It's a kickstart, actually, to the merit-based system we've talked about before.
	We want immigrants in this country.
	We're not even changing the 1.1 million immigrants that come here every year.
	We're not changing that number.
	But we're changing the construct of those who come.
	We want people to contribute, not to be a drain on the American economy or our social safety net programs that the American people deserve.
	Right now, immigrants are taking advantage of it, and the sponsors, by law, are supposed to pay for that, and it's time for them to put in their fair share.
	Let me ask you this.
	I am so...
	Yes, you want to say something?
	I said yay.
	I was going to say, there are so many laws that apparently are just not enforced.
	Who knew?
	Totally.
	Who knew about this?
	I didn't know that that wasn't enforced.
	It seems like a non-brainer.
	Just a no-brainer.
	Hey, this person is no good.
	You got to pay up.
	You're responsible.
	Come knocking on your door.
	I'm surprised by this.
	Martha McCollum didn't even know it existed.
	How are you going to make that work?
	No, I didn't know it existed.
	I don't think you can fault her.
	You didn't know it existed.
	Yes, she's a white woman.
	I can do whatever I want to say about her.
	Skin in the game.
	Skin in the game, exactly.
	Where does this come from?
	The term skin in the game.
	The origin of the phrase is unknown.
	Really?
	Yeah, this has commonly been attributed to Warren Buffett, referring to his own investment in his initial fund.
	However, William Sapphire refutes Buffett as the source of the phrase, pointing to earlier instances.
	Hmm.
	They say it may come from Merchant of Venice, the Shakespeare's play in which the antagonist Shylock stipulates that the protagonist Antonio must promise a pound of his own flesh as collateral.
	Ah, that's the pound of flesh.
	There you go.
	That's the skin in the game.
	That would make sense.
	Maybe.
	I have a...
	I received a clip.
	It's actually a video clip.
	I can play some audio from it from the No Agenda Technology Lab.
	We did some testing on one of our recent products that we were discussing on the show.
	And this is your power line transmission.
	What are they called exactly?
	Power line ethernet?
	Home plug.
	Alright, your internet butt plug, home plug.
	It's called home plug?
	That's what it's called?
	That's the standard, yeah.
	There's two standards.
	Home plug is the one that's the most popular.
	And I say, well, these things are a problem as far as I know because they interfere with ham radio operators.
	And who knows what else?
	So one of our producers took it into the lab.
	And let me see.
	I don't know if you want his...
	Well, his YouTube name is Fidget McFidgetron.
	So we'll just leave it at that.
	And here he is!
	Alright, so as per John's recommendation on getting a power line adapter for getting internet into other places of your home, I decided to get one for my garage because that's where my SDR hangout is.
	SDR is software-defined radio, so he's listening to the ham bands.
	So I got a ferrite choke on the receiving end and on the output end into the computer.
	And let me pull up fast.com right here and watch as the web browser pops up.
	There we go.
	Got a fast.com speed test going and look at all the QRM that this thing is putting out.
	And then watch as I close this web browser.
	A couple seconds.
	Kills.
	And there's a little...
	So what you obviously aren't seeing, but what you can kind of hear, is the minute he starts to use a lot of data, he's using a speed test website, it just completely fills up the entire band with noise.
	You'll hear it if I turn it up a little bit.
	I believe that is also caused by this power line adapter.
	So it looks like I'm going to have to find a different way to get internet into the garage.
	Adam was right.
	These things cause a lot of QRM. QRM, baby!
	Because this was a really easy thing to do.
	Just plug in, plug in, pair it, and go.
	Then I'm going to have to trench out my backyard.
	Oh well.
	70 degrees.
	There you go, ladies and gentlemen.
	Straight from the No Agenda Technology Labs.
	These things are great unless you are also a ham radio operator.
	Then they're not so great.
	I wonder what else they interfere.
	Well, I wonder if his rig is plugged into the power line that he's using for doing the data transfer, too.
	Oh, so now we have stipulations.
	Okay.
	So I have stipulations.
	Now, I want to know if you can have just like an ICOM, one of these battery-powered...
	Right, not plugged in.
	Ham devices.
	Not plugged into the same system that you have.
	Battery-powered ham device.
	I would like to have a check.
	I agree.
	It's handy.
	I can see it being a problem if you're, yeah, that software-defined radio is really picky and it's about noise issues and so you got a lot of noise.
	Okay.
	That's what it was supposed to say.
	But the other, but the main problem was it's the guy across the street.
	That was in the olden days was bitching.
	So I don't think that he, this is not a test that's the one I want to see.
	I want to see the test of the guy across the street.
	So in other words, I want the power line adapter plugged in in a different house.
	And does it affect him and his house?
	Because that was the bitch about the ham guys early on, is that you plug it in anywhere in the neighborhood and all the ham guys are screwed.
	Right, so it may not carry.
	Okay, well, we're sending it back to the lab, John, and they will figure it out for us.
	Secondary testing.
	Several articles showing up in the Washington Post, the New York Times.
	In fact, I'll give you some headlines here.
	America's cities are unlivable.
	Blame wealthy liberals, New York Times.
	How San Francisco broke America's heart, the Washington Post.
	There's a trash and rodent nightmare in downtown LA with plenty of blame to go around, Los Angeles Times.
	Yeah, bubonic plague.
	Rats feasting on huge trash piles sparks fears of bubonic plague outbreak in LA. Yeah.
	How about cleaning up the mess?
	Is that asking too much?
	What's interesting about the Los Angeles Times piece is that apparently...
	The businesses downtown in Los Angeles are paying some of the, well, I don't know if they're all, well, by definition they don't have a home, but I think there's other issues, are paying them to take away their garbage and then just dumping it in the piles where the homeless people are already dumping their trash.
	I think in San Francisco, they changed the recycling companies.
	It's now by different regions of the city, and it went from an average $70 a month to $300 a month.
	Same thing's happening.
	Businesses are paying some of these people to cart off their trash and throw it on some trash heap.
	There are people stopping with pickup trucks to empty their trash onto the trash heaps that the homeless people have made in the streets.
	Nice.
	That's the opportunist amongst the Bay Area dwellers.
	That shows a real moral decay.
	Well, it shows opportunism.
	Is it moral decay that saves some money?
	No.
	Yes, it's moral decay if you're throwing the trash on your own street.
	Yes, that's moral decay.
	Of course it is.
	You don't think so?
	That's just opportunism?
	I wouldn't do it.
	I don't like the idea of these big trash heaps.
	Well, no.
	Crawling with rats and mice and God knows what.
	That's bad news.
	That is bad news.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's San Francisco.
	That's a fact.
	There's a very interesting lawsuit.
	Let me see.
	It's Wheaton et al.
	versus Apple Inc.
	And what is interesting about this lawsuit is it claims that Apple sold iTunes information to third parties for marketing purposes.
	And the information that they sold to these third parties was entire playlists of what you were listening to.
	And we haven't even discussed this as an off-the-grid OTG issue, but knowing what kind of songs you listen to is up there in importance with personal preferences.
	If you give me your playlist, your favorite playlist, I think I can get a lot of insight to who you are and what you're about.
	Of course, when it comes to online types of systems like Spotify or Pandora or iTunes...
	There's some concern when it comes to things like video.
	In fact, there was a law on the books that specifically forbade any video store or library or any other library-type functioning service, whether online or offline, to divulge what people are reading, watching, or listening to.
	And I think that's probably a pretty good...
	A pretty good law to have.
	I didn't even know it existed.
	It's called the Video Privacy Protection Act.
	It was passed in Congress in 1988, signed into law by Reagan, and I'll just give you the actual text or the important part of it.
	It was created to prevent what it refers to as wrongful disclosure of videotape rental or sale records or similar audio-visual materials to cover items such as video games and future DVD formats, and they updated this over time to include online as well.
	I did not know that this law existed, and it really makes me, well, initially it made me question, like, well, crap, how can this be taking place?
	Isn't Apple supposed to be the guys who say whatever's on your iPhone stays on your iPhone?
	Yeah, privacy.
	Well, they're liars.
	They're liars.
	But here's the kicker.
	This act was updated.
	In 2013, with House Resolution 6671, which amended the Video Privacy Protection Act to allow video rental companies to share rental information on social networking sites after obtaining customer permission.
	Netflix lobbied for the change.
	Obama signed it into law in January 2013.
	You didn't hear much about it, but isn't it interesting that the minute Obama is out of office he gets a hundred million dollar Netflix deal?
	Isn't that interesting how that works?
	I've always wondered why he got that deal.
	Always wondered.
	Now I know.
	It's just...
	Scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
	And it's quite disgusting.
	These after-the-fact deals are reversed.
	Quite disgusting.
	And it's black and white right there.
	Well, you found out what the reason for that reverse bribe or whatever you want to call after-the-fact bribe.
	Yep.
	They take care of you when you're out.
	Don't want to do anything now.
	That's why I think a lot of these book deals, these massive book deals that these ex-presidents get, they get like a $2 million advance or $10 million.
	Meanwhile, we're still waiting to see what genius Barack and Michelle are going to come up with on Netflix.
	Have you seen anything they've produced?
	They're not going to produce anything.
	No, it was pure.
	Thank you very much.
	Great job.
	You really helped us move forward.
	You circumvented a very specific law which made things difficult for us.
	Thank you, President Obama.
	Here's your $100 million deal.
	Don't worry.
	You don't have to do anything.
	We'll just put you on the retainer.
	Good to go.
	Sounds like that's what it was.
	You're right.
	Good catch.
	I know you've just been in your craw.
	Yeah, I'm going to keep it going here with one more note from producer Glenn.
	We were talking about your receipts being sucked in from your Gmail.
	Yeah.
	And that's how Google has this, you know, if you go to myaccount.google.com slash purchases, then you'll see purchases that you didn't even make through Google, but if you have a Gmail, and I, you know, so there's certain things that, for some reason, a confirmation email went to a Gmail account I have, and that's what shows up.
	Well, Glenn says in 2015, he got married, and before he got married, he spent hours and hours looking for a tux and a suit.
	He went to Men's Warehouse and signed up for email, or he said maybe his wife signed him up, but he never bought anything from them, and of course, Men's Warehouse emailed them twice a day, every day, ever since 2015, so he put it into spam in Gmail.
	And so for the last four years, he's never seen it.
	It's always in spam.
	He would check occasionally.
	But, you know, it was just going to spam.
	Two months ago, his grandmother died.
	And we're sorry to hear that.
	She was the first family member to pass away since he was 15.
	So this would be his first wake or funeral as an independent adult.
	And he Googled stuff like what to wear to awake.
	Do I need a suit for awake?
	A day ago.
	After four years of being spam, Men's Warehouse now appears in his regular email folder.
	It's no longer marked as spam.
	What's that all about?
	That's the kind of stuff they're doing.
	You know, these guys.
	You know, this is the problem we have with the newsletter.
	I got six or seven watchdogs out there that tell me where this thing's showing up.
	And primary, promotions, newsletter mostly goes in there.
	Primary with a few guys.
	And every so often, I get a note, this stuff went to spam for the first time ever.
	These newsletters aren't that different from each other.
	I mean, unless I screw something up and I know what it is.
	But generally speaking, if you haven't seen the Dvorak-Curry No Agenda newsletter, it is a template.
	Yes.
	Pretty much the same newsletter with different information.
	And is it the different information that's triggering it?
	Is it the one too many photos that's triggering it?
	You really can't tell.
	It's almost impossible.
	It's the lack of an agreement between us and Google to pay whatever we need to pay to have it delivered.
	That's the future of it.
	And if people are going to use Gmail, then that's what you're going to get.
	That's what you're going to get.
	I always thought that this whole internet email thing was unreliable.
	I always said when I was younger, younger, In the 80s, when we were using MCI mail, and then the internet mail started coming up in big ways.
	It wasn't still up to speed, but you could get internet and you could get an email account from someone.
	I forget what the name of the company was that was providing this.
	But I wrote a column in the Deck Professional, which was a magazine at the time.
	I said, you know, This mail is unreliable.
	And I cited all the reasons why it's unreliable, because I thought it was.
	And I still do.
	And holy crap did I get a bunch of hate mail.
	It's the greatest thing ever.
	It's not unreliable under any circumstances.
	Send mail is the best protocol.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	You know, it's unreliable.
	Well, I'm going to disagree with you.
	I agree that SendMail is a very reliable protocol.
	I think email is one of the best decentralized systems that exists and has a lot of fallback and protections and delivery is pretty much guaranteed.
	The problem is providers of email.
	And the disincentivization of having anyone even understand how it works, having a little box that is just your family email server at home.
	Yeah, they exist.
	Thehelm.com is a good one to look at.
	ISPs have worked very hard to block you having that capability at home.
	They make sure that, oh, port 25, you can't send out email.
	You might be a spammer.
	So they've worked hard against doing that, and people got complacent.
	It's like, oh, I got Yahoo Mail.
	Oh, I got AOL Mail.
	Oh, I've got Gmail.
	And now you see it.
	No, you don't.
	They have your mail.
	And there's a couple of good ones.
	What's the one that everyone likes to use?
	The secure email service.
	Also, that can go tits up any day, too.
	What is it everybody uses?
	All you're doing is making my point.
	No, I'm not.
	The email as a protocol and send mail is fantastic.
	Proton mail, that's what it was.
	I'm not making your point.
	It was also fast mail, which people like a lot.
	I'm not making your point.
	There you are.
	No, because you specifically said send mail and it's bullcrap and it's no good.
	That shit works.
	No, I never said send mail is bullcrap, but I just criticized the whole mechanism.
	Yes.
	The whole mechanism where it goes over the internet and it disappears.
	The worst part, yeah, okay, I'll back off on send mail.
	It's fine.
	And there's some newer protocols that are even better.
	But that's beside the point.
	The mechanism as a whole is completely flawed.
	And even if you have your own little home server, there's still these blacklists.
	You subscribe to a blacklist because you don't want to get tons of spam, which you will get.
	The whole thing's a mess.
	I think we should go back to just snail mail.
	I've always said the internet should be shut down.
	I still say that.
	Yeah, said the man who was...
	You can't say these things.
	I said it.
	Reset.
	Do a reboot.
	Well, I have...
	And by what other protocol besides SendMail?
	What are you talking about?
	SMTP, really.
	SendMail is an application.
	I'm just going to tell you what I think.
	I just don't think there's...
	It's unreliable.
	We can't get the newsletter to half the people.
	I mean, I'm not counting people who just don't open it.
	No, I understand, but I've received every single email, two copies from two different email addresses ever since you started sending them out because I run my own server.
	And that has been disincentivized to...
	I mean, they could make an app on your phone that is an email server if anyone put their mind to it.
	But no, that's not the point.
	It's too good of a marketing opportunity.
	That's why, hey, that was the first thing Google came out with was Gmail.
	They knew early on, once we capture that shit, then we have it all.
	And everyone went, okay, all righty then, I have used this.
	Free gigabyte.
	I got a gig, man.
	And I can turn it into a drive.
	I remember all that.
	Make a time code, please.
	I don't know what guy that is at your port.
	We know that guy.
	We know that guy.
	He's been around.
	Well, I am still a fan of the general idea of dockless mobility in our cities.
	I'm not sure it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better, but they finally unleashed the bird bikes in Hoboken, New Jersey, home of Frank Sinatra, and it didn't go well.
	They are extremely popular and eco-friendly, but e-scooters are not getting a friendly welcome in Hoboken.
	People say riders are breaking traffic rules and making the road dangerous.
	CBS2 cameras caught people riding on the sidewalk, running red lights, going the wrong way down one-way streets.
	It is such a concern on day three of the program that police have put out warning signs.
	I've seen so many kids out here riding around without helmets.
	They're weaving in and out.
	It's hard enough trying to avoid pedestrians.
	It's the most preposterous policy I've ever seen.
	The company that operates the scooters has set up information, tends to educate riders on safety and traffic laws.
	Yo, brother.
	The keeper and I went into town last night for dinner.
	Can I, before you talk that anecdote, I do want to say...
	Being in Austin for the wedding, and I haven't been in Austin, as I told somebody on the airplane, I have not been to Austin.
	Pre-scooter.
	P.S. Pre-scooter.
	Pre-scooter visitor.
	So I go there and there's all these scooters.
	It is unbelievable.
	Well, what I was going to say is, out here in the frontier, the sticks of Austin, they're here too, by the way.
	I've seen them in our neighborhood.
	People ride them, I guess, all the way from UT, maybe.
	I don't know where they're coming from.
	No, they can't get that.
	They can go 20 miles, these things.
	They can do a full hour if it's fully charged, 18 or 20 miles.
	Now, it'll take an hour to do that, but yeah.
	Now, I follow this very closely.
	I follow not just the laws, and Texas has some laws that are coming down which will restrict the most important things, which is riding on the sidewalk and where you park them.
	The parking has gotten much better.
	Although I still think it looks ugly, and if I just decided to throw some shit on the sidewalk, I would have a problem with it.
	But okay, I've said I'm a proponent of this.
	I see the benefit.
	But it will not work with the current culture.
	We can't even make bicycles work in the current culture with cars and trucks.
	Austin will be the first, I guarantee you.
	Parts of downtown Austin will be shut down for automobile traffic.
	It will only be for battery crap.
	Scooters, the monowheels, the electric bicycles.
	That is where they're moving with this.
	They're not saying it yet, but put it in the red book.
	It's going to be e-scooters only in massive portions of Austin.
	And it makes only sense that it'll happen in Amsterdam.
	I know it has to happen.
	Cars are, you know, they are becoming the problem.
	They're killing the people.
	They're the enemy!
	They are.
	They're killing the people on the scooters.
	The friendly scooters.
	They're killing them.
	And they take up the place of 18 scooters.
	You can have a whole scooter gang in the place of one car on the road.
	So I think that's where it's going to go.
	Well, there are some cities in this country already...
	That have this no car zones downtown.
	Yeah, I'm just talking about Austin, that hot metropolis.
	But...
	I haven't seen one that's been shut down from vehicle traffic for the purposes of allowing scooters to be zipping around.
	Those things are dangerous.
	These people are going 25 miles an hour when they shoot by you.
	If you get hit by one of them, it would be dangerous.
	They've got no helmet, so if they flip it or something, they're going to bang their head and they do.
	The main thing is the insurance.
	Who pays for what?
	The minute you get on the scooter, you have indemnified the company.
	So you're good to go there.
	Depends to get a vaccine while you're at it.
	Interesting you bring that up.
	I found the Adam Schiff.
	He actually put a Senate resolution...
	Wait, was it Schiff?
	He's a House member.
	He's a House, so it can't be that.
	Was Resolution 165 recognizing the importance of vaccinations and immunizations in the United States?
	We were talking about that.
	Kennedy said that the chief had done that.
	He brought that up and we were both aghast.
	Yeah, so it indeed is here.
	It exists.
	But it's a resolution, so it doesn't make you do anything.
	But it does have everything in there that, oh yeah, they're good, vaccines are good, shut up, shouldn't ask.
	And someone asked me on email, hey, if there's really no testing data to speak of, certainly for the MMR vaccine in the United States, how does the European Union do that?
	So I went looking for that.
	Oh my goodness.
	What?
	Oh.
	It's impossible.
	They have so many organizations.
	Euro surveillance.
	Let's see.
	Europe's Journal on Infectious Disease Surveillance, Epidemiology, Prevention and Control.
	No one has testing results.
	All they have is, yeah, yeah, yeah, everything is safe.
	Here's the EU regulatory framework for vaccines.
	They have a framework, and the framework is...
	You pulled a fast one on us.
	Well, it's more than that.
	EU regulatory framework.
	Before a new vaccine is approved for release on the market, a rigorous regulatory procedure to assess quality, efficacy, and safety must be undertaken.
	But really all they do is they just see if, here, the evaluation and approval of quality assessment.
	Once a marketing authorization is obtained, it starts with marketing with these fucks.
	A marketing authorization.
	Not if it's safe.
	No, you've got to get your marketing authorization first.
	Once that's obtained, each batch of vaccines must still be assessed for quality before release.
	This is done by both the manufacturer and an official European-controlled laboratory.
	The activities of these laboratories are coordinated by the European Pharmacopoeia Secretariat within the European Directorate for Quality of Medicines.
	Hello?
	Can't find anything about safety.
	But the European Pharmacopoeia Secretariat also has the responsibility for developing legally binding monographs to ensure appropriate quality control and harmonized quality standards across manufacturers.
	What does that mean?
	It doesn't mean anything.
	No, it's just a bunch of gobbledygook.
	And that's it.
	In addition, all vaccines and pharmaceuticals are monitored after release onto the market for adverse events.
	This surveillance allows both to refine the safety profile established during the product development and to detect rare events that may not have been apparent during the clinical development.
	It's always rare, isn't it?
	Yeah, rare.
	If anyone can find anything, please, I'd appreciate that.
	I'm not very hopeful.
	And in New Hampshire, I think this is an AP report, the Keene area child believed to be infected with measles, this report says, this is Concord, New Hampshire, was probably experiencing a reaction from the measles vaccine, so public, you're not at risk of a measles outbreak, state health officials said.
	So now about 5% of individuals vaccinated with the MMR vaccine develop a fever and rash reactions.
	These reactions happen because the body is responding to the vaccine.
	But everyone said, oh, the kid has the measles, which of course he did.
	I don't know.
	It's just interesting.
	Well, we still have Ebola going on.
	In Congo?
	Or the pig Ebola?
	No, I got the Ebola report here.
	They're from, I think it's CBS. They got one woman, one lone reporter is in the area reporting on Ebola.
	And this is her.
	Two-year-old Charity fights for her life in this Ebola treatment center.
	She was admitted today with her critically ill mother, Kabua Safi, who lies isolated in another plastic cube, too sick to tend to her little girl.
	There have been major advances in the treatment of Ebola since the last deadly outbreak in 2014.
	Now patients are put in these plastic cubes, which provides a protective barrier between the doctor and the patient.
	There's also a new vaccine, which should be good news for the Democratic Republic of Congo in its fight against its deadliest outbreak to date.
	Except this epidemic is in a war zone.
	World Health Ebola manager Dr.
	Michelle Yao told us their hospitals are repeatedly being targeted by the more than 30 armed militia groups roaming the forests around the hot zones.
	Anytime that you have an incident, it takes weeks to recover.
	But the violence has not deterred Esperance Musinda from her work at the UNICEF Children's Unit.
	She herself is an Ebola survivor.
	Here, they don't wear protective gear, as survivors are immune from further infection.
	The survivors look after babies suspected of contracting the virus, but who desperately need a loving touch in order to thrive.
	I'm not afraid of Ebola, Musinda tells us.
	I'm afraid of the violence.
	Yeah.
	I thought that was interesting.
	They have a bunch of these Ebola survivors and they're just roaming around freely and they do all kinds of work that nobody in their right mind would do.
	And that situation is very fuzzy at best.
	And they're using it on the ground as fear tactics.
	One of our producers works with someone who's a family member of the current Congolese king.
	We'll just call him the king.
	And apparently people were freaked out about the whole election.
	They were dousing themselves in alcohol or their hands because they voted on the machines and they didn't like touching the machines.
	Everyone's cleaning their hands the whole time.
	People didn't show up.
	It's just used as control.
	And now the Chinese, the Chinese official state news is saying, hey, don't worry about it.
	We have a vaccine in the works for pig Ebola.
	It's all going to be okay.
	Don't look over here.
	There's nothing wrong with our pork industry.
	Oh, I haven't heard this.
	Well, it's the Chinese.
	We're talking about that porcine fever.
	Yes.
	The African swine flu, I believe, is the way they're calling it here.
	Vaccines tested.
	This is China News, the CNS, China News Service.
	Chinese scientists have successfully developed two vaccine candidates for African swine fever virus.
	The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences announced Friday.
	Lab tests have shown the candidates are biologically safe and effective in virus immunization.
	Their safety and effectiveness indexes are superior to similar research achievements in other countries.
	So I guess we're good.
	It's all over.
	Don't worry about it.
	You know how the Chinese lie about this stuff.
	Yeah, well, they're producing enough to inoculate every pig in China.
	There's no way.
	I don't think you could do it.
	No, the pigs that have died now is already more than we have in America.
	It's crazy.
	The BBC did a great job On some more propaganda about Syria.
	And I'm not quite sure...
	Do you have any idea why the neocons want us to stay in Syria or want to still go and get Assad?
	I mean, is it something that I'm missing?
	Is it still the same old crap that we're dealing with?
	The West Clark 7?
	Oh, that could be a good point.
	I have no idea.
	I've never fully understood what the neocons are trying to accomplish, to be honest about it, except rubble eyes.
	Well, so Syria, we already now have UN reports that the White Helmets staged stuff, that the chlorine attack was staged.
	You had the report just two days ago where they still said, oh, they must have killed 23 people for no reason.
	No, that was probably all fake and acted as well.
	And so these are all, you know, kind of the definition of false flags to draw foreign war into the region, us, and France, and Britain, and the BBC is just not stopping.
	Documents leaked from intelligence organizations in Syria suggest that human rights violations in the war there were premeditated and planned by the government.
	More than 5,000 pages of information have been obtained by campaigners in Washington.
	They include this text written allegedly by senior government security officials, which we've translated and voiced.
	I have never heard the BBC do this.
	So there's some text, some document that apparently was found, and we're going to find out who found it in a minute, which is hilarious.
	They translated it, and then they have some Arab national read it.
	Have you ever heard the BBC do this?
	No, not really.
	It gives it a whole different spin instead of just, hey, here's what the document said.
	No, no, we've got an actor to voice it.
	In Washington, they include this text written allegedly by senior government security officials, which we've translated and voiced.
	We received information that terrorists are being treated in Al-Burr Hospital in Arrastan in Homs.
	We suggest to bomb it with artillery.
	And three days later, the hospital mentioned was bombed.
	I've been speaking to Mohammed Al-Abdallah, executive director of the Syria Justice and Accountability Center in Washington, D.C.
	I'm one of the people gathering the evidence and writing a report based on the documents.
	Ha ha ha!
	This is just like one of those jamokes sitting in an apartment in London.
	No, no, sounds like, oh yes, this is the Syrian observation guys in D.C. I asked him how he got hold of the information in the first place.
	So basically these documents were rescued and saved from abandoned security intelligence buildings from inside Syria during the conflict.
	And also there's other sets of documents were extracted by other organizations, partner organizations.
	You'll understand that many people have a vested interest in faking evidence in the Syrian conflict.
	You're absolutely sure that this is genuine stuff, are you?
	Absolutely sure this is genuine to us rescued and preserved.
	Let me just step back.
	So this is the BBC, BBC World News, world-renowned news.
	Have some guys on who are some think tank in Washington DC for Syria and he says, now there's a lot of fakery going on.
	Are you sure this is the real deal?
	Oh yeah, we're sure.
	And that's cool with the BBC. To me, this is a great report.
	You'll understand that many people have a vested interest in faking evidence in the Syrian conflict.
	You're absolutely sure that this is genuine stuff, are you?
	Yeah.
	Absolutely, sure.
	This is genuine, rescued and preserved by our own team.
	We have records and videos and films inside the security intelligence buildings.
	And we talked this video inside the division also to counter the narrative that the ICRC continued to deny that humanitarian aid is ending in Assad's hand as well.
	Is what we've just heard potentially a smoking gun in terms of court evidence in the future against the Syrian government?
	I hope so, yes, absolutely.
	This is what we're trying to do.
	That's why we've rescued these documents and that's why we've done this really lengthy process of analysing thousands of pages.
	Do these documents prove, do you think, that President Assad is personally responsible for the atrocities that you document?
	We have not seen any documents signed by Bashar al-Assad himself in the analysis so far.
	But, however, the nature of the orders, the seniority and ranking of officials who signed these documents, and the nature of weapons deployed to conduct and deliver these attacks, all suggest this is coordinated at the highest level, and Bashar al-Assad is, if not ordering, at least he's aware.
	That was Mohamed Al-Abdallah, who's head of the Syria Justice and Accountability Center, a campaign group in Washington, D.C. You're listening to the BBC World Service.
	Outstanding work, BBC. No, I have no idea.
	I don't know why this continues, but it does continue.
	There's something, either some untold cache of oil, It could still be the Russia thing, you know, the Russians.
	It could have something to do with Russia and it could have something to do with Israel.
	Yeah.
	It's just a head shaker to me.
	The BBC, I mean, that is clearly propaganda.
	Hey, you sure this is the real deal?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, we got it ourselves.
	We got video of us getting it.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Did you...
	Let me get another clip here.
	What is this?
	This is the...
	This is something kind of interesting.
	I don't know anything about this.
	And I've heard this clip.
	Play this insider dope on the...
	Oh, no.
	This is something else.
	So they had this woman.
	I thought there should be kind of just an interesting educational segment.
	This woman is an ex-CIA... She's a specialist in disguise.
	She's the disguise specialist at the agency.
	And her name is Jonah.
	Did you mention this to me maybe after a show or something?
	I think I sent you the clip.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And this is her talking about how people use aliases.
	And I just for some reason found this to be fascinating because I didn't know any of this.
	Alias names at CIA are closely controlled.
	They are managed.
	They are assigned to you.
	My name is number two.
	You end up with a name for your entire working career.
	Come again.
	Your true name is never on paper overseas.
	Groovy, baby.
	Oprah would probably not be one of those names.
	This is my wife, Oprah.
	Any name that really drew attention would not be one of those names.
	Cunningham, was it?
	Cunningham could be, but we always had a middle initial.
	Danger's my middle name.
	You always had three names.
	I mean, you could abbreviate the middle initial, but you always had three names.
	Huh.
	The three names is interesting.
	Exactly.
	Huh.
	Because whenever we got someone killing a whole bunch of people, usually three names.
	Yep.
	Which means they had a CIA name to start with, possibly.
	I love that.
	Fantastic.
	I'm going to show my name.
	Sorry?
	As soon as she said, yeah, before you go on.
	As soon as she said, everyone is assigned three names, and you tend to use three.
	And I thought about your old theories about these phony, the ones we had in the six-week cycle.
	It was always some phony three-name guy.
	Always three names.
	Always a three-namer.
	Yeah.
	Adam Clark Curry.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	In fact, we do have a few people to thank.
	Not many of them with three names.
	That we know of.
	Oh, Sir Mark Hall.
	Let me just read this for a second.
	Dear Adam and John, great shows of late.
	Happy belated birthday, John.
	And a hundo to Adam for boxes and packing tape.
	Keep up the good work.
	Really enjoyed the recent wedding of the Keeper and the Crackpot.
	So good to meet members of the Roundtable.
	Enjoyed talking to Mimi and was even granted a brief audience with John C. Dvorak.
	Truly the wedding of the year.
	And you were there, my friend.
	$167.69.
	Merci.
	Sir Rod.
	$150.
	Also an appreciation for the wedding.
	This is Roderick.
	Roderick Zalo.
	Yeah, he finally became a knight.
	He got his ring and everything, so he's Sir Rod now.
	Very nice.
	Sir Sander and Zandam.
	Mm-hmm.
	$103.82.
	Mark Van Dyke.
	Wait a minute.
	That's voice zero.
	Yeah, I know.
	I saw this too.
	ITM gents, and thank you for your courage.
	Congratulations with your marriage, Adam and Tina, and heck, why not to you as well, John and Mimi.
	Thank you, Mark.
	You didn't have to do that.
	It's very sweet of you and Stephen and Iris.
	Thank you.
	I will, of course, get you some bingo boom shakalaka.
	Brian Kaufman in Scottsdale, Arizona, 7575.
	Barron Mark Tanner in Whittier, California, his twice-monthly 6789.
	Stephen DeGena in Bethpage, New York, 5746.
	I have a note here, by the way.
	He needs a de-douching, for starters.
	You've been de-douched.
	Yeah, he says, Scandinavian expat living in New York, been listening since Brexit.
	Thank you for your humor, insight, and shenanigans if you have the time.
	He wants a dedouching, you got that, and some karma we'll put at the end for you.
	Now I have Heilko Santima.
	Santima.
	5-6.
	Heilko Santima.
	Santima.
	We have a big yellow thing.
	He's got some birthday thing coming up.
	There's a couple of things that went wrong here.
	So we got his donation on the previous show.
	Somehow we wished him happy birthday, which was a little too early.
	But he actually became a knight, so he will be Sir Ruard of Mark Ness.
	And he wants Beaujolais and Reblochon.
	Beaujolais et Reblochon.
	What is this?
	Is this a wine I'm not familiar with?
	Reblochon?
	Isn't that a cheese?
	I have no idea.
	Beaujolais, I know.
	He will be 46 on the 29th.
	In the morning, John and Adam, with all the new attendance at the round table on the last show, I got thinking about my own journey to knighthood.
	Had a feeling I was getting close to joining that illustrious crowd, but never bothered to check until now.
	Turns out, to my surprise, I could have claimed a title months ago, so henceforth I would like to be known as Sir Ruard of Markness and would like to find Beaujolais et Roblochon at the round table.
	Thank you very much for your courage, and I am going to order that right now for the ceremony.
	Thank you for your courage, Halco.
	He also has an F-cancer he needs for a colleague.
	Oh, you know, I'm going to give that to him right now.
	You've got karma.
	Now, what's interesting is he sent the donation note to your email, and it got bounced back because it contained porn.
	But it didn't.
	It's just he asked for an F-cancer.
	Yeah, that's just my point earlier.
	Well, that's your setup.
	I don't think so.
	Yes, it's your mail guy.
	Yeah, it is.
	Your squirrel mail guy.
	I saw the headers.
	It came from your server.
	Yeah, well.
	Again, my point is well made.
	David C. Pugh, 5510, double nickels on the dime.
	Congratulations on your wedding.
	Michael Robinson in North Melbourne, Victoria, 5433.
	We have a couple of douchebag call-outs in here.
	I don't see it.
	Yes, we have it here.
	Here it is.
	Yeah.
	He's got a couple.
	He's not a...
	Mark Beecham of Melbourne, for one.
	It's a long-winded note.
	People have got to tighten these douchebag call-outs.
	Well, he says, I qualified for a knight on show 1124.
	Or please knight me as Sir Max Rokotansky, Knight of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Victoria.
	I would like to request Corona Extra and peanut butter M&Ms for the occasion.
	And the douchebag call-out, the bloke who hit him in the mouth, hasn't donated...
	That is Mark Beauchamp of Melbourne.
	Douchebag!
	And that's the only one.
	So let me just make sure he is on the list for knighting today, which I think he is.
	Yes.
	And what does he want again at the roundtable?
	Interesting requests for roundtable.
	Corona Extra and Peanut Butter M&M's.
	Got it.
	Okay.
	Thank you very much for your courage and thank you for your support.
	5432 also comes from Matthew Cole Perricone.

	Thank you very much.
	Me and The Keeper.
	And a reminder, we have a special full-length Sir Chris Wilson Crackpot and The Keeper end-of-show song, which is an original tune and well worth listening to.
	Sir Chris Sundberg, Knight of the Vortex Ring State from Mercer Island, $51.

	And last but not least, Baron Allen Bean over here in Oak Town, Oakland, California.
	I want to thank all these folks for producing show 1141.
	And hope we have another good donation segment on the next Thursday show.
	Yes, and thank you to everyone who came in under $50.
	Most of you will do that for, if you're right under that, for anonymity, but a lot of you are on a program, so you do both.
	And the subscription programs are very helpful to us.
	They do keep a base going.
	There's very low ones, you know, $4 a month, $5 a month.
	You can do 11-11s, 33s.
	There's a number of good ones.

	Karma's as requested.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	What a fuck!
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.

	Gentlemen for you, hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, Beaujolais and reblochon, Corona Extra with peanut butter and M&M's, warm beer and cold women, gerbils and ginger ale.
	And mutton and meat.
	I ran out of stuff to put at the table.
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings and hand off your information to Eric the Shill.
	He'll get to you as soon as possible.
	Quick mention of our meetups that are coming up.
	May 25th, Eastern North Carolina.

	I'd love to do a meetup in London.
	The Keeper and I will be there.
	If someone can get that at noagendameetups.com, we'd love to meet some of our UK folk.
	June 12th, Wednesday, June 12th would be the day for us.
	After that is June 15th in Copenhagen.
	We won't be able to make that.
	June 20th is Southwest London.
	Unfortunately, we won't be able to attend that.
	So maybe we can get the same people to do a quickie on the 12th.
	July 4th, Seattle, and July 13th in Atlanta.
	And whoever sent us the Cuisinart ice cream maker, thank you.
	I wish I knew who it was.
	So I could thank you properly.
	It's got an anonymous Cuisinart ice cream maker?
	Yeah, just showed up at the...
	It's the one or two quart.
	It's the big one.
	Yeah.
	It's nice.
	It was an Amazon shipment, but there was no note, no...
	Yeah, Amazon fails to put notes in.
	They're supposed to put notes.
	Was it in a big giant gift bag?
	No, it wasn't in a gift bag.
	It was just in a box.
	And that was it.
	Yeah.
	You ever seen you send as a gift, you check that box, and it's just a bag?
	Oh yeah, or you say, I want to add a note, and they just print off a piece of paper with a note.
	Thanks.
	It's not even a nice card or anything.
	No, no, the bag is just some cheap bag they throw everything in.
	There's still talk of me being one of the hosts of the European Song Festival for 2020.
	I think it'd be ideal.
	If not, I do have a backup.
	The millennials here had a great idea.
	We should do a Twitch stream.
	Makes so much sense.
	I didn't even think about it.
	And we could actually make money while doing it.
	How are we going to make money?
	Well, Twitch has a whole financial thing.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yeah, they hit a button and then money just pops into your account.
	Oh, nice.
	Yeah, so we can literally just be showing a monitor of whatever's happening, and we can be off-camera doing our snarky voiceover, and if people like it, pling, pling, pling, they'll just be sending us money.
	I think this is a good idea.
	So every one-liner.
	Yes.
	Yeah, we can do this, John.
	We can do this.
	We have a whole year to prepare.
	I'm expecting that we will do it.
	Oh yeah, I'm not going to be hosting this show.
	No one's going to let that happen.
	You'll be hosting this show, then we won't do it.
	I'll do it by myself.
	And there's Adam.
	Look at him.
	Holy crap.
	Who made him up?
	Do they have makeup artists there on the show that they actually know what they're doing?
	He looks like an old transvestite.
	Okay, thank you.
	I wanted to say something about...
	Let's hope he doesn't dance.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	That would be bad.
	It took me a while in that one.
	Oh, boy.
	This milkshake mania, I wanted to talk about that for a second.
	Oh, jeez.
	I never even thought about talking about it, but you're right.
	It's probably worth talking.
	We probably should talk about it.
	Yeah, it's very important.
	So, Nigel Farage was walking around.
	Someone threw a milkshake over him.
	This is now a thing, you know.
	Oh, it was interesting.
	Someone sent me a link from some a-hole somewhere on Reddit saying, Oh, John and Adam should be worried.
	They're going to be throwing milkshakes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Do you remember the pie era?
	Well, no.
	Yeah, there's a little era about seven, eight years ago where people got a pie in the face by some pie guy, some major pie character.
	Bill Gates got a pie in his face.
	Well, milkshakes are different for a very specific reason, but first I want to go back to the year 2000.
	Pim Fortan.
	Two weeks before he was assassinated, people were throwing cakes in his face.
	And I did some research on this.
	When people start throwing food...
	It is an actual act of desperation because food has value and more importantly there is a connection between us and primates, apes, chimpanzees who throw shit And I believe that the milkshake, particularly the chocolate milkshake, is a very primal thing that is deep in us.
	It's a metaphor for throwing feces at somebody.
	Did Farage have a chocolate shake?
	Yes, chocolate shake, I believe.
	It is an extremely violent act.
	And it should not be tolerated.
	It's not funny.
	And it pretty much always leads to something bad.
	The people who do this have a screw loose.
	It's different from hitting someone, which is a whole different area.
	But when you do the milkshake, it is a primal scream of frustration.
	And anyone who does that is, in my mind, borderline dangerous.
	Yeah, I agree.
	It was a strawberry shake.
	Well, that's...
	What does that mean?
	I don't know.
	It's not dark enough to look like feces.
	But I think the comparison still holds.
	Um...
	It's not funny.
	It should not be allowed.
	People who do this need to be dealt with.
	It is very, very violent.
	And people who do this are on the verge of a psychological breakdown.
	Yeah, this guy was a fanatical Remainer and a Corbin fan.
	Yeah.
	Well, the people who did that to Pim Fortan before he was assassinated were animal rights activists, greenies, and one of them, not the same one, but one of the same persuasion wound up assassinating him, shooting him in the head, right to his face, boom, boom, goodbye.
	And by the way, he's now out free walking around.
	He served his time.
	It's a crazy country, the Netherlands.
	I don't know how that works.
	You guys should have been locked up for good.
	No, we don't have that in the Netherlands.
	There's no locked up for good.
	In fact, there's often a joke, it's easier to kill your wife than to divorce her.
	It's much, much cheaper.
	It's much less hassle.
	In a couple of years in jail, you're good to go.
	Sounds like, yeah.
	I have nothing more to add other than this is not funny.
	It should be dealt with as an extremely, as a violent act.
	It's a violent act.
	And don't try that in Texas.
	Oh, can you imagine?
	It's a bad idea in Texas.
	So I found, they found a very funny clip, Democracy Now!
	did, which is going to, I'm surprised, you know, you always have to wonder how serious everybody is about things.
	When you have a clip like this floating around, it doesn't get any play.
	This is Lindsey Graham.
	Discussing impeachment.
	This is the basic theories of impeachment.
	I believe this is during the Clinton administration when he was still a congressman.
	And he could take part in impeachment proceedings.
	In 1999, the then Congressman Graham argued for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton for seeking to hide evidence of his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
	This is what he said.
	You don't even have to be convicted of a crime.
	To lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role.
	Because impeachment is not about punishment.
	Impeachment is about cleansing the office.
	Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.
	I thought that was pretty good.
	I mean, I think it's bullcrap and nobody's ready to go along with the program because of the fact that everybody in Congress is corrupt.
	Yes.
	So they feel guilty about, you know, well, he's corrupt.
	Is he more corrupt than I am?
	I don't know.
	Is he more corrupt than Adam Schiff?
	That guy.
	Did you hear what happened to Naomi Wolf?
	Did you hear this?
	No.
	Oh, this was fantastic.
	So she's written a book.
	I don't have the whole backstory.
	Let me see.
	I have the book here somewhere.
	The book is about outrage and killing people just for who they love.
	Here it is.
	I always get Naomi Wolf mixed up with Naomi Klein.
	No, this is a show problem in general.
	We do this all the time.
	And they're both left-wing nuts.
	But one of them has actually got some reasonable logic to her where she goes about her business.
	I think Wolf's the one I particularly don't like.
	Well, she's the author of the book Vagina and the forthcoming book Outrages, Sex Censorship and the Criminalization of Love.
	And she expected to discuss the historical revelations about people being killed for being gay, basically.
	And she went on the BBC to promote this.
	And now this book is coming out in a week from now.
	And the host did something phenomenal.
	He looked up some of the stuff that was in the book, and it turns out she had misinterpreted an important term when it comes to killing people for who they love.
	In this case, it's about buggery.
	Gay acts.
	And the BBC host just basically ruined her entire book before it even hit Amazon.
	You get sentences, as I mentioned, of penal servitude for 10 or 15 years.
	And I found, like, several dozen executions.
	But that was, again, only looking at the old Bailey records and the crime tables.
	Several dozen executions.
	Correct.
	And this corrects a misapprehension that is in every website that the last man was executed for sodomy in Britain in 1835.
	I don't think you're right about this.
	I don't think you're right about this.
	One of the cases that you look at that's salient in your report is that of Thomas Silver.
	It says, um, teenagers were now convicted more often.
	Indeed, that year, which is 1859, um, 14-year-old Thomas Silver was actually executed for committing sodomy.
	The boy was indicted for an unnatural offence, guilty, death recorded.
	This is the first time the phrase unnatural offence entered the Old Bailey records.
	Thomas Silver wasn't executed.
	Death recorded.
	I was really surprised by this, and I looked it up.
	Death recorded is what's in, I think, most of these cases that you've identified as executions.
	It doesn't mean that he was executed.
	It was a category that was created in 1823 that allowed judges to...
	Abstain from pronouncing a sentence of death on any capital convict whom they consider to be a fit subject for pardon.
	I don't think any of the executions you've identified here actually happened.
	Well, that's a really important thing to investigate.
	What is your understanding of what death recorded means?
	Death recorded, this is also from...
	I've just read you the definition of it there from the Old Bailey website.
	But I've got here a newspaper report about Thomas Silver...
	And also something from the prison records that show the date of his discharge.
	The prisoner was found guilty and sentence of death was recorded.
	Ah, the jury recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his youth.
	See, I think this is a kind of...
	When I founded this, I didn't really know what to do with it, because I think it's quite a big problem with your argument.
	Also, it's the nature of the offence here.
	Thomas Silver committed an indecent assault on a six-year-old boy.
	So, uh, oops!
	Oh, God!
	That's horrible.
	What happens?
	The publisher's going, well, we have fact-checkers, but ultimately we rely on the author.
	What happens in a case like this?
	I mean, can they pull the book back still, or is it printed?
	They actually should pull the book back.
	Of course they have to.
	The whole premise of the book is about being condemned and killed for loving who you love.
	That's like your vinegar book.
	All of a sudden, vinegar kills you.
	I don't know.
	Something would happen.
	I think you're smart, actually, for delaying the release.
	Make sure you have all your T's crossed and your I's dotted.
	We're finding out more and more weird stuff about vinegar.
	We're doing some more Mimi's gotten into this vinegar thing now, so she's dicking up crazy stuff.
	She's taken the shaming to heart.
	Yeah.
	All right, we have a number of end-of-show clips.
	As mentioned earlier, Sir Chris the Drunkard Minstrel, the song is titled The Keeper.
	It's an original.
	Soon available on compact discs and cassettes.
	We have an end of show from Tom Starkweather, always fun, and Jesse Coy Nelson, who's been knocking it out of the park recently, so that is coming your way in a moment.
	If you're listening to us on noagendastream.com...
	We've got the Mark and George Show, episode number 29 on deck for that.
	And I am coming to you from the frontier of Austin, Texas.
	It's the capital of the drone star state.
	We're in FEMA, region number 6, and the governmental maps in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And I'm from northern Silicon Valley, where we're still waiting for...
	1999 KW40 goes swinging by.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	Please remember to support us at dvorak.org slash na.
	Until Thursday, adios mofos and such.
	One, two, three, three.
	Music Is this a good woman or what?
	No, I just, I can't remember.
	She's a keeper.
	Not only does she pack light, but she donates to the show.
	Yeah, when packing light, I would put high priority on her.
	I love this woman.
	She's great.
	Spend my younger years surrounded by rock stars.
	Actresses and models, well you see I bear the scars.
	Resigned myself to an OTG love life.
	John C. Dvorak as my wife.
	Pickin's pretty slim when he comes to our age.
	And options there narrow on a podcaster's way.
	But Tina used to love me the Even though I'm a radio hand Our love is wider than our local nation Our love is deeper than lost in aviation Each episode our love grows deeper One reason why you're the keeper Never
	thought I'd find my Texas belt.
	But you came here from Chicago, so I'll thank Obama as well.
	You know, my love, I'll always be there.
	With a retarded phone and old V.J. hair.
	I love is stronger than 5G radiation.
	I love is hotter than a burning radio station.
	Send flirtatious texts to the beeper.
	Know the reason why you're the keeper.
	Well, I ain't perfect, but this short beat's been single.
	And it's material for Sir Chris to write his jingle.
	Don't pay me beer, but you've done it all for free.
	Inspired by the love between you and me.
	As we drive off on our extreme honeymoon.
	But Sunday on a Thursday happens all too soon.
	Can monetize the love between you and me?
	We'll make the perfect exit strategy.
	Our love is wider than all of Gitmo Nation.
	Our love is deeper than the loss in aviation.
	Our love is stronger than 5G radiation.
	Our love is hotter than a Two reds goes away when I see ya.
	No other reason, you're the keeper.
	Then I saw your face, now I'm a believer.
	No other reason, you're the keeper.
	You're skinny and I don't cost much to feed ya.
	No other reason, you're the keeper.
	Health insurance costs, they're getting steeper.
	Another reason, you're the keeper.
	Turn off my hearing aids so I can't hear you.
	Another reason, you're the keeper.
	Nickname according to the chat room, Tina the Keeper.
	Tina the Keeper.
	And she'd be keeping you.
	So I walked into the cabinet room.
	You had the group, Cryin' Chuck.
	To watch what happened in the White House would make your jaw drop.
	Crazy Nancy.
	I tell you what, I've been watching her, and I have been watching her for a long period of time.
	She's not the same person.
	Jaw-bob-boss.
	She's not the same person.
	She's lost it.
	You all saw me minutes later.
	I was at a news conference.
	I was extremely calm.
	I was probably even more so in that room.
	I was extremely calm.
	Calm on you.
	Let's go for Joe Holt.
	In the morning, generals gathered in their masses.
	This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years.
	When I first came to office, one of the first meetings I had was at the Pentagon with generals.
	Evil minds that plot destruction.
	Bolton has always said, let's go to war, but he's not the one who's going to go on the forefront.
	He's a coward.
	Sorcerer of death construction.
	The leaders of Iran are racketeers.
	Behind every problem is Iran.
	They heard what you said in 2016 and liked it when you said, no more stupid wars.
	We've got a rogue president in the White House surrounded by these Uber hawks that thirst for another war with Iran.
	We don't need your war!
	The International Atomic Energy Agency has never found Iran in contravention of stipulations in the deal.
	If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran.
	Never threaten the United States again.
	I'm not somebody that wants to go into war.
	Is the United States heading towards another Middle East showdown, this time with Iran?
	Iran!
