This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1159.
This is No Agenda.
Straight into your brainstem and broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas.
Capital of the Drum and Star State.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the six-week cycle is alive and dead, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Oh.
Are you tracking another six-week cycle?
Yeah.
Well, let's explain briefly the six-week cycle.
Well, you have the best explanation.
It's a methodology that the FBI was alleged to be using during the Comey era to keep their name, their brand name in the public eye that they're doing this great service by finding dopes who are supposed to their brand name in the public eye that they're doing this great service Finding dopes who are supposed to blow a bank.
And every six weeks, which seemed to be the cycle, we were told by someone who's in the know, and also to preserve budgets, etc.
And so what you do is you jack somebody up, you put a CI, a confidential informant on him, or her, him, usually.
You tell him he's going to be great, jihad is great, you give him some phony baloney bombs, you give him a keypad that does nothing, and then you bust him!
And then you make a big scene about the bust, and then the timer starts all over again.
But it kind of stopped after Comey left.
Well, it looks like it may have or may not have.
It depends.
Whoever was doing publicity during the Comey era, the head of PR, that guy or gal, to use the pejorative, that person...
Left, I believe, or something, because they still do these things every so often.
Maybe one network will pick it up.
Maybe nobody cares.
Here's what I envision.
Comey left, and there was a transition document.
It's what you do when you leave.
You type up the doc.
It's like, okay, here's how we do the six-week cycle.
And they're going through the checklist.
But they're just doing a checklist, so you're never going to get the professionalism of the person who was doing it originally.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, this reminds me of all companies.
I noticed this in Silicon Valley.
They'll have one or two real go-to people that kind of hold some little department together, but they do it in such a way that it's not really easy to document.
And so when there's any sort of cutback, and there was a person at Apple that used to service the media and who just got fired because they, well, what does this guy do?
I don't know.
And there was a similar type person up at Microsoft that got fired.
Yeah.
Because when they do, they get the checklist when they go, what does this guy do?
That's where I can tell.
There was a guy named Daniel Paul.
At Apple.
And he ran a program.
Now I'm talking the days of the Apple II. So this is before the...
Like this OS... No, this is before OS whatever.
This is Apple II. Yeah.
And his job was to supply as a loan...
And I had that thing for years and years, and then he called me up and said, well, I'm leaving, and you're going to have to send it back.
And that was it.
I never saw another program like that within Apple again.
At least I was never approached.
This happens in all these companies.
And so I believe the FBI probably had the same problem.
That's why you're getting no publicity for any of these.
These are all just run off as minor stories.
They have nothing going on.
They're failing.
And so this is the one that just happened.
I think CBS is the only network, at least the only one.
That's where I got it from anyway.
This is the clip, his six-week cycle, another bonehead.
A man was arrested on terror charges today at a New York City airport.
Investigators say he was about to fly off to join the Taliban with the goal of killing American soldiers.
Chief Justice and Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Begays joins us now with details.
So Jeff, what happened today?
Jeff!
Nor investigators say the 33-year-old Bronx resident was taken into custody at JFK International Airport this morning.
Delwar Mohammed Hossein, originally from Bangladesh but now an American citizen, was about to board a flight to Thailand with a final destination of Afghanistan.
And his goal, according to investigators, was to fight for the Taliban against U.S. soldiers.
Hossein, dressed casually and shackled at the ankles, was arraigned in federal court on terror charges this afternoon.
Investigators say that he had been planning to join the Taliban since September of 2018 and had been under constant surveillance by the FBI. In conversation with one agent, Hussein allegedly said, I just want to take a frickin' machine gun and just shoot everybody and kill them all.
Americans attempting to join foreign terror groups, it's not uncommon.
Since 2011, nearly 80 Americans from 20 states have traveled abroad to fight with jihadist organizations, though most have gone to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS or Al-Qaeda.
Now, wait a minute.
When did he write that line about, I want to take a frickin' machine gun and gun them all down?
When was that?
Was that before this arrest?
Way before this arrest?
Yeah, it was before the arrest.
They should have done something then.
Well, you know, you've got to match the dates.
It's got to be six weeks.
I'm sorry.
They could have busted the guy months ago, it seems to me, from the sounds of it.
They've been following him for years, it sounds like.
The transition document said, wait six weeks, go to line one.
Okay, there we go.
And we're doing it all over again.
Yeah, they had to wait.
You're right.
They probably have about 10 or 20 guys right now that are being observed and ready to pick up.
They're going to have to do something a little more spectacular to get any attention.
This was a dud.
I mean, it wouldn't have been a dud maybe six or seven years ago.
Right.
You know, when this was more noticeable.
Yeah, and this would have been played up much more.
I guess there was too much...
It would have been played, oh, there he was in court.
They would have had the local news stories would have done something on it.
It would have been played up by everybody.
It would have been pushed.
But no.
Well, it's obvious that the Mueller news is ruining everything.
You can't get anything in edgewise.
The last six-week cycle story we had, which was about six weeks ago, coincidentally, was another one that was similar.
It could have gotten somewhere and never went anywhere.
I'm now marking these stories.
I'm heading them all with the term six-week at the beginning of the clip so we can start digging them up as time goes by to show this pattern is still pretty much the same.
And will you be using the AP-style guide of everything under 10 you spell in letters?
No, I'm using the number six.
Okay.
I only learned this recently.
I didn't know that that was a thing.
Yeah, it is.
It's always a thing.
So all I saw was a lot of posturing, a lot of talking about Mueller.
Mueller!
Where's our Fletcher Mueller?
We got that.
Hold on.
I still have the distinct feeling that, I don't know, the...
You think I'm crazy to think it, but the idea of another special prostitute.
Another prostitute.
Another special prosticuter.
Prosecutor.
That could happen!
Mueller!
There you go.
There you go.
Thank you, Fletcher.
Um...
Wait, do we have a different one than that?
That was Mueller.
It should be Mueller.
Let me see.
Mueller!
We've got all varieties.
I think the best clip I found, which is very, very short, is one of those, the truth wants to come out about the Mueller testimony.
This is Stephanie Rule.
She's a former Goldman Sachs banker, and she's been on MSNBC. Yes, Goldman Sachs, Doom, you heard it here.
She's been on MSNBC in the midday slot with Ali Velshi, so their show is called Velshi and Rule.
Well, you know I watch this stuff all day.
I watch MSNBC, I watch CNN. I do it for the show.
Come on.
I mean, you watch Democracy Now.
Well, there's the flower, yes.
So Stephanie Ruhle starts off, and I thought this was the truth once to come out, and it was there.
Democrats strategizing their next move after Robert Mueller's testiphony.
Did you hear it?
Testiphony.
Democrats strategizing their next move after Robert Mueller's testiphony.
I love that one.
Yeah, that's a gem.
Testophony.
Hmm.
Truth wants to come out.
They just can't help themselves, can they?
But there was a lot of nutty stuff going on.
Um...
Did you get anything from the mainstream?
Anything M5M funny about Mueller or Trump or whatever?
No, I actually kind of skipped the whole Mueller thing for today's show.
No, I got a couple things.
Hold on.
Well, maybe I have some.
Let me look down the list.
Well, I have...
Okay, this was Mike Huckabee trying to be funny.
I think it was kind of lame.
Well, what I would say is after watching the Bob Mueller show the other night, the Democrats thought they were going to put a movie to what was the book, the published report, but the movie turned out to be Weekend at Bernie's, and it didn't turn out well to the Democrats.
It was alright.
It was okay.
But Joe DeGenoa, you know I love getting clips from Judge Joe.
From Mumbling Joe.
He was a U.S. attorney.
He and his wife have a law firm together.
They don't use the same last name, but they're always appearing together on Fox Business News.
They're all buddy-buddy.
And by the way, Joe DeGeno, I've found, has a very interesting past which also connects to Roy Cohn and Epstein.
You know, he's no fresh newbie in the game.
But he did agree with me on who had actually created this Mueller report.
This was an ignominious finale and I am happy for the country that they got to see someone totally incompetent, unaware, Completely unable to respond to legitimate questions from both Republicans and Democrats.
What this proved today was what we've said all along.
This was the Weissman investigation.
Andrew Weissman ran this from beginning, and when you see Bob Mueller in that pathetic display...
Today, you know what happened.
Weisman did it all.
He made sure that Roger Stone was arrested in the middle of the night with SWAT teams.
He made sure that Paul Manafort was put in solitary confinement in an outrageous display of prosecutorial vindictiveness.
Bob Mueller slept through this event from beginning to end, and today, his ignominious finale showed him a sleep at the hearing.
So there you go, Andrew Weissman.
That's pretty much the only example I have of any M5M, and this isn't even the real Fox News, it's Fox Business News, anyone bringing up Andrew Weissman.
It's not being discussed left, right, center, anywhere.
Are they afraid of this guy?
I think they're afraid of this guy.
Oh, that's possible.
It's possible.
He's a badass.
He could be like just a badass.
Well, he brought down Arthur Anderson.
Yeah, that's pretty badass.
Yeah, that's really, yeah.
So maybe nobody's, well, these, I mean, it's like somebody like your buddy there who you always clip.
You know, he's just a freelancer out there doing it.
I mean, he's not involved in anything.
But the networks, you know, if you're a badass guy up there in that position and you're one of the networks, you can go after any one of the networks.
The networks are very vulnerable.
So they maybe just put the kibosh on it.
There's your favorite word again.
But is it kibosh or kibosh?
You said kibosh.
I said kibosh that time.
Yeah.
But I will say kibosh.
It's fine with me either way.
To me, it's two different words.
Yes.
Yeah.
But they mean the same?
Yes.
Okay.
Good.
And they're spelled the same.
And, let me see.
Another indigma here in our ammo belt.
Yeah.
That's really all that I had.
Well, let's go to CBS then, because CBS, of course, is the, you know, with Nora there.
They gotta pound the drums.
Is Nora fired yet?
That's what we want to know.
Is she gone yet?
No, but she did a story the other day, I think it was on Friday, where she, it was a funny story.
She had a bunch of puns in it.
She probably wrote it herself.
A bunch of puns.
And she was actually smiling.
And if she would just smile instead of grimace She could get through this, but I think they don't want her to smile.
Now, is she back to the long hair after that short hair adventure?
I went back later after the show and I looked at those pictures.
You're right.
They're very masculine looking that way.
It kind of removes all her feminine features.
Yeah, she's literally a tomboy.
By the way, we're talking as TV executives here?
No.
Yes?
What are you talking about?
Well, I am.
I got my TV executive hat on.
Well, she looks really good when she ended.
The show is typically the formula for today's news hours, all three networks.
And I don't understand why Fox...
Doesn't put its news show on the Fox affiliates out there.
There's tons of them.
They got nothing else going on.
I mean, our poor local Fox, KTVU, they have news at four, news at five, news at six, news at six.
They got too much news.
They could drop a half hour Fox with Brett Baer.
Who's a very good-looking guy who's perfect for doing a news hour.
They could put a Bret Baier in there to do a one-and-a-half hour.
You mean just do a competing news hour to everybody else's news hour on the broadcast network?
Yes, they are a network.
They do compete on a network basis with the other three guys.
They meet NBC most of the time.
But isn't that now Disney property and Fox News is a different company?
No, no.
The Fox broadcasting part of it is still Fox.
Okay.
So they could do a half hour and even if...
No.
Got it.
No.
It's not happening.
No.
Got it.
They could do a half hour.
I don't know why they don't because they do it on the cable channel.
They could just take that exact same show and push it over to the affiliates and it would be fine.
It's not like...
It's not...
It's produced like a cable show.
It's produced like a network broadcast news show.
And it would be a little more competitive.
But they all follow the exact same formula.
And when one of them changes something, they all slowly change to that.
And one of the things that developed over the years, especially when I was doing the 3x3 or whatever the analysis.
5x5.
Oh no, the 3x3, yes, you're right.
The new 3x3s, yes.
And I noticed that they've all come up with a kind of a happy feel-good story at the end.
Right.
Of all the broadcasters, a feel-good story or a tearjerker.
It's called the human interest story.
Yeah, there goes the Zephyr.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Nine.
Ten.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
That's above the average, isn't it?
I thought it was nine.
No, no.
It's been ten for the last three months.
Summertime.
Anyway, so they're all empty anyway.
It doesn't matter.
So at the end, they do these little...
Little cutesy stories at the end.
And so Nora did hers.
And it was a bunch of puns about moving Halloween to the weekend.
It doesn't have a ghost of a chance.
A bunch of these puns in there.
And she had this cute little smile when she wrapped it up.
And she would look great with it.
She's good looking if she's smiling.
But she doesn't.
She's just grimacing with dead eyes most of the time.
It does not work.
I don't know what they're going to do about it because they can't make it a happy news show.
I don't know why they can't, but they can't.
Now, do you have a clip that goes along with this?
No, but I still have a clip.
I love that.
The clip I originally introduced to start the segment was the impeachment clip, which is there is Nora again with her grimace and her stern...
It's called the RBF, FYI. Her face.
It's called resting bitch face, RBF. Okay.
Yeah, this is a thing women talk about.
I've heard of RBF. I know what it means, and that's what it looks like.
Yeah.
And I, you know, I wish her well, even though she's a real Trump hater.
So let's listen.
So they had to throw this in, this impeachment bit.
And by the way, this is only the segment of it.
I couldn't play the whole thing.
House Democrats started down a road today that could lead to impeachment of President Trump.
They asked a court for documents from the Mueller investigation.
Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler says he needs them for an impeachment inquiry.
Nancy Cordes has more on the dramatic turn of events today.
We're crossing a threshold.
Absolutely.
In a parting shot before a six-week break, Democrats said they are stepping up their probe of the president.
I would say we are in an impeachment investigation.
It could lead to articles of impeachment or it could lead to something else.
In a federal suit filed today, the House Judiciary Committee is seeking underlying grand jury testimony from the Mueller investigation.
Especially material related to President Trump's knowledge of any potential criminal acts by him or his aides.
The suit says the House is considering whether to exercise a constitutional power of the utmost gravity, approval of articles of impeachment.
All they want to do is impede, they want to investigate, they want to go fishing.
The move comes as some Democrats grow frustrated with the Speaker's more cautious approach to impeachment.
The decision will be made in a timely fashion.
Speaker Pelosi cleared the air with one critic today, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Tensions between the two over strategy and policy had grown personal in recent weeks.
The two sides trading barbs in the press and online.
Do you think you were able to bury the hatchet with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez in your meeting?
I don't think there ever was any hatchet.
Well, she called you downright disrespectful.
Well, that's, that's, that's, we're in a political arena.
In our caucus, we have our differences.
Respect that.
Nancy Cordes joins us from Capitol Hill after those tough questions there to the speaker.
So Nancy, back to that issue.
What tough questions?
Tough questions?
What tough questions?
That was great.
Let's listen to those tough questions again.
I don't think there ever was any hatchet.
Well, she called you downright disrespectful.
Well, that's, that's, that's, we're in a political arena.
In our caucus, we have our differences.
Respect that.
That's some grilling shit right there, man.
Bam!
Straight to the jugular with those tough questions.
Nancy Cordes joins us from Capitol Hill after those tough questions there to the speaker.
So, Nancy, back to that issue.
What are the Democrats hoping to learn from that grand jury material that wasn't in the Mueller report?
Well, it's not entirely clear, Nora, but they told us today that they believe that Mueller gathered some evidence of wrongdoing related to the Trump campaign and Russia.
That he ultimately decided was outside of his purview.
And they think that if they tell the courts that they are considering impeachment, that a judge will be more likely to grant them access to that confidential information.
The president called Democrats clowns for even pursuing it.
Isn't that kind of...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't grand jury testimony, isn't that really like sacred stuff?
It's really never supposed to be released because it's not cross-examined.
This is all grandstanding.
It won't actually happen.
They won't get grand jury testimony.
No, they're not going to get anywhere.
This is just grandstanding just to get...
Keep waving their arms.
CBS plays along.
They did have a little line at the end that I thought was funny.
You kind of stepped on it.
You might want to play just the very end of that clip again because it's one of those things where they quote Trump and it really is kind of like a nasty quote and they just throw it out there.
So they're all Trump's an idiot to say something like this.
...longdoing related to the Trump campaign and Russia that he ultimately decided was outside of his purview.
And they think that if they tell the courts that they are considering impeachment, that a judge will be more likely to grant them access to that confidential information.
The president called Democrats clowns for even pursuing it.
Called them clowns.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just a little gem.
Yeah.
Well, he did.
Yeah, I know.
Clowns.
Yeah, he did.
Guys are clowns.
You know what?
They're right.
And actually, I don't want to body shame, but if you put a red nose and a crazy wig on Jerry Nadler and some big floppy shoes, dude, he would look pretty much like a clown.
Yeah, yeah.
He's got the perfect body type for it.
So the point is, is that what I think they're up to here is they're trying to make the case to get votes.
It's a vote getting technique.
It's all about getting votes for the Democrats in the 2020 elections.
And this one is about you because they keep saying it and they're kind of hinting at it in this story as it continues.
You act about it a little longer.
They're trying to convince voters, the ones that hate Trump, that might not go out and vote, but they hate Trump, but they're not going to vote necessarily for a Democrat.
But if you can maybe convince voters that Trump is going to be, if he doesn't get reelected, he's going to be arrested and jailed.
They're pushing this narrative.
And for obstruction of justice, if it wasn't for the fact that he's a president, he would have been arrested and jailed already.
Even though Mueller, because it comes from the hearing, they've twisted this around.
I couldn't even bring myself to clip it.
The twist, what they did is, yeah, clearly if he was a citizen he would have been arrested, which is the thing they repeated over and over and over in the hearing to which Mueller always said no.
No, I wouldn't characterize it like that.
He actually had to start the second hearing by literally correcting a bad answer he'd given to Ted Lieu by saying, just so you know, he did not get a...
I did not not indict him because it's not allowed by the Office of Legal Counsel.
He specifically stated it.
But somewhere someone asked the question, if he were a citizen, private citizen, he probably would have been indicted.
Yes, of course.
You know, so it's like, they're just twisting it around.
How many times I heard someone say, some talking head say, well, Bob Mueller really outlined all of the cases of obstruction of justice.
I said, no, he didn't.
Every Democrat outlined it, and he went, not in my purview.
It's complete crap.
Anyone who saw that hearing knows that they're just lying now.
They're just lying.
And by the way, so is Fox News.
They're lying about other things.
It's all disgusting.
The Democrats have always been high and mighty about it.
But until now, play this clip.
This is Danny Deutch and what the Democrats are going to do now.
Danny Deutch used to be the advertising guy who's on Morning Joe's?
Yeah, now he's a major pundit, a political pundit somehow.
We are at war.
It is time for the Democrats to wake up.
We are playing against cheaters and liars or stealers.
And with all due respect to Michelle Obama, when they go high and when they go low, we got to do whatever we have to do.
I love an advertising guy who can't get the slogan right, idiot.
When they go high.
When they go low, we've got to do whatever we have to do.
We actually have a government led by Moscovich and criminal Trump.
Oh, by the way, we're going to call him unindicted criminal Trump now because in two instances...
He has been an unindicted criminal.
So I know in regular, when you're playing fair, you're supposed to call him President Trump.
Just like we're going to call him Moscow Mitch, we're going to call him Criminal Trump.
Now, again, for an advertising guy, does he not understand that these things really work better with alliteration and to say, oh, I've got a new nickname.
It's called Criminal Trump.
Wow, man.
Gee, I should hire you for my next campaign.
Dick?
That's stupid.
And another message for the Democrats.
By the way, stop.
Moscow Mitch isn't bad.
Well, I have a Moscow Mitch thing.
I think it's from the same segment, but we'll play that after Donnie Douche.
Moscow Mitch, what do we call him?
Criminal Trump.
And another message for the Democrats.
It is time to move forward.
There are two takeaways from Mueller that we're going to use as we go to war.
Number one, the president broke the law, and when he's out of office, he can go and will go to jail.
And number two, we are vulnerable with our election systems.
That's our two things.
We may not have won the battle of impeachment, but we're going to win the war of putting him in jail, whatever we have to do.
And we're not going to necessarily play fair.
And for all the intellectuals out there whose hair is going to go on fire, but we're becoming like them, we're becoming like them, we cannot lose the next election.
We will go back 50 years.
So, I got the segment before Donnie Deutsch came on and said this, and this was Joe Scarborough, Morning Joe, with Mika, although Mika didn't get a word in edgewise.
The whole thing was about 16 minutes long, and I guess that they came up with this, I think Moscow Mitch, you're right, it rolls off the tongue.
There's actually a Moscow, Kentucky, where he's...
He's not from Moscow, Kentucky, but it's funny.
It's Moscow, Mitch, because he blocked, we always got to say blocked instead of declined to take to the floor, the SAFE Act, which is the...
I have the...
Let me get the...
I think I have the name of it.
Yes, here it is.
The SAFE Act.
It passed the House, HR 272-2, and it is the Securing America's Federal Elections Act, or the SAFE Act.
And instead of just requiring, gee, I don't know, voter ID, there's this huge bill that has all kinds of stipulations as to how the voting machine should run, how it's supposed to work.
And I think there's actually a lot of really valid stuff in there with the paper trail.
The problem is that that federalizes the election, and I don't think that's the idea.
Right.
Because the states are responsible for the elections.
And so the Republicans are saying, well, if you do that, then who knows what's next?
So I don't know if they can get around.
Anyway, Moscow, Mitch, because the last statement Robert Mueller made in his six hour testimony was all the rise ongoing as we speak.
The Russians are hacking as we speak.
Even though there's zero evidence, there's only evidence of server pings and port scans.
There's no actual hacking evidence.
Pew, pew, pew, pew!
One case where someone, and it turns out it might have been Department of Homeland Security, got into the registration database, but not into the voting machines themselves.
And above all, I'm pretty sure that no one wants to change the voting machines.
Everybody's got their favorite manufacturer in their state, and they've got it rigged or not the way they want it, so no one really wants to change that infrastructure.
It's all set, and it's like, just leave it the way it is.
But now, of course, that means that, and it's a big setup, and I hope the president sees it.
If he wins, it'll be because Moscow Mitch rigged the elections through the Russians, and this is what they're going for.
And that's how, once again, Donald Trump won, thanks to the Russians.
Here's the Moscow Mitch.
He could not stop saying it.
This is a montage.
We remember back then, The warnings came, but Moscow Mitch, that being Mitch McConnell of Moscow, Kentucky, Moscow Mitch, Moscow Mitch, Moscow Mitch, Moscow Mitch, Moscow Mitch said it's a hoax.
Moscow Mitch calls it a hoax.
Moscow Mitch!
It's a hoax.
There's an oligarch that I've read is going to be setting up a big aluminum plant in Moscow Mitch's home state.
I don't know if that's it, but how can Moscow Mitch keep denying that Vladimir Putin continues to try to subvert American democracy?
I love that you're calling him Moscow Mitch because, frankly, it's a continuation of something that you struck.
What am I supposed to call him?
It's a cocaine Mitch?
You know, people call him cocaine Mitch.
Maybe, I don't know, maybe he's right.
I mean, he's only cocaine Mitch if he's running cocaine to Moscow because he's Moscow Mitch.
Okay.
Wow.
That'll stick, though.
That'll stick.
Oh, I don't know.
I like it.
It's not that interesting.
The thing with criminal Trump, it's like a takeoff of crooked Hillary.
Yeah, it's no good.
There's a liability issue here with slander, which is you can't call somebody, I believe, I could be wrong.
I think you can call them crooked, but you can't call them a criminal.
Because a criminal is a result of a...
Legal action that was taken and they were found guilty of a crime.
You can't call someone a criminal without running into slander and libel issues.
And he's doing it just openly and could find it.
I don't know what to say.
I think maybe with the president, because he's such a public figure, you can get away with it.
I think so.
It's skating a little bit on...
He's really...
This is not, he doesn't know what he's doing, to put it mildly.
No.
So.
You know, the, we've been looking at the, I don't know if you were, after we talked Thursday, if you saw any of those videos in Brooklyn of the residents of that Brooklyn neighborhood pouring water on the cops?
No.
So you still haven't seen that, huh?
Okay.
But anyway, it was happening, and it's happening multiple times, and over the weekend, in that very same neighborhood...
There was a block party, which this is not just some casual block party.
It's been going on for over 50 years.
But it's in this neighborhood, and lots of people come to this block party.
And there was a shooting.
Eleven injured, one dead, another one possibly might die.
Now, the cops did show up for that.
I'm not quite sure what it says or what it means, but I found the coincidence interesting.
And then I got an email...
Because I was very curious, you know, we talked about on the show, why is this happening?
Why are people disrespecting the cops in their own neighborhoods?
And he got a nice note from one of our producers.
Adam John, I'm a producer, devoted listener.
Thanks for the great material.
My husband is a retired NYPD police officer.
I wanted to share his thoughts on the water dumping on cops phenomenon.
Now, my husband retired right at the beginning of de Blasio's term and he was going to stay another five years, but de Blasio had already made the job difficult.
They were starting to face people throwing batteries, bottles at Black Lives Matter protests, which he had to work at often.
When he and his retired buddy saw those videos this week, they were shocked.
What they could not believe is the officer's reaction or lack of reaction.
They couldn't believe that these officers did not defend themselves.
They all agreed that when they were working, they would have reacted very differently in this situation and might have definitely got a handle on it.
In my husband's opinion, these last five years have destroyed the morale of the New York Police Department rank and file where they almost have internalized the guilt and hatred and do not know how to handle these situations anymore.
De Blasio and the media have completely neutered them.
Now, my husband's a 9-11 first responder and finds it peculiar how the NYPD went from being loved and adored by the public and he worked in an area where a lot of liberals and even liberal celebrities lived in the aftermath of 9-11 To completely despise a mere ten years later.
And by the way, as you can imagine, he worked in a precinct that was extremely diverse.
Many black cops, female cops, Hispanic cops, and especially gay cops worked with him since his precinct was Greenwich Village.
He always had a female boss.
In fact, white males were the minority.
But you'd never hear that in the media.
Anyway, just some boots on the ground info for you.
So I thought that was an interesting backgrounder from someone who has boots on the ground and standing in the case.
And then I called Mo.
I called producer Mo and I said, Mo, Mo's our American descendant of slavery, my only black friend.
I said, Mo, what is going on?
What is happening here?
He says, and it kind of blew me away when he says this, oh, you know, this is being provoked and it's done on purpose.
And I said, uh-huh.
He says, yes, the idea is to federalize the American police.
And when he said that, I'm like, oh, of course.
This was a big conspiracy theory when Obama was in office.
He was talking about having a force bigger than the army, and they would be on the streets.
Yes, this is something we discussed on the show in some detail, and then we kind of...
It never materialized, but it was always some sort of a weird threat.
And we always thought that maybe he had other initiatives that were maybe fronts.
So the same idea, but the idea never went anywhere.
Well, the idea seems to be rekindling.
And you'll recall that Trump was talking about sending the National Guard into Chicago because things were so out of control.
This is just, you know, in the past couple months.
And the leadership of Chicago said, no, no, no, we might take...
Blue helmets from the United Nations, but not the National Guard, which is odd on both counts.
One, that he would want the National Guard in, but two, that Chicago would want the blue helmets, an international police force.
So you kind of start to think about it.
Big article in The Guardian just yesterday...
Every state in the US fails to comply with international standards on the lethal use of force by law enforcement officers, according to a report by Amnesty International, of course, which says 13 US states fall beneath even lower legal standards enshrined in US constitutional law.
And that nine states currently have no laws at all to deal with the issue and this article pretty much advocates for a federalized police force.
And here's the sad thing.
I believe Trump is all on board on this.
I think he actually wants this.
He announced his plan to federalize American police departments.
Under the plan, city and state police departments would fall under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security and would therefore be granted broad authorities to enforce law.
Quote, they're going to receive the best weapons, training and resources this country has to offer.
We're going to put an end to jurisdictional restrictions and increase police capabilities in terms of surveillance and use of deadly force.
I think he's all in on this idea, even though I would say this is a typical Soros sisters, you know, get all the district attorneys to buy into this and turn their police departments into, you know, federalized law enforcement arms of the federal government.
Yeah, national government.
Yeah.
You know what falls into that thinking?
Yeah.
The real ID. Oh, totally.
And that's implemented everywhere.
It's unstoppable.
Papers, please!
Show me your Ausweis!
You don't need a real ID if you have a passport.
But it's part of the real ID system of documents.
Yeah, I'm just saying.
It's got a chip.
It's got everything.
It's a beautiful little thing you're carrying around there.
But anyway.
Carried in aluminum foil.
I think that there's something to this.
And maybe Black Lives Matter was also a part of it.
It could all be a part of getting a federalized police force in place.
And I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if Trump's all in on it, that's not good.
No.
Well, Trump sometimes doesn't know, you know...
No, you can't apologize for what he's saying there.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm just saying he's...
In many ways, he's not a globalist per se, but he's susceptible to the same propaganda that everybody else is that doesn't listen to the No Agenda show.
There you go.
If Trump listened to our show, this would not be happening.
Of course not.
He's not listening to our show.
Of course not.
Or he's certainly not donating, douche.
He's got the money.
Yeah.
Yes.
Or does he?
Yeah, there you go.
And maybe we can flow right into the shitholes commentary.
This is probably more under the heading of the 2020 elections.
Or maybe not.
I don't know.
Trump made a big swipe at Baltimore to get it...
Racist swipe somehow.
Well, yes.
Somehow.
No, no.
It's been deconstructed by CNN. Oh, I like to hear it because I couldn't figure out where the racist part came in, except for the fact that somebody's black.
I know, man.
He's using all kinds of racist terminology.
Oh, he's using code.
Yeah, of course he's using code.
Oh, code.
So the background is that Trump swiped out at Elijah Cummings, because Elijah Cummings hates him.
If you want, we can play the background, right?
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
What is it?
Trump versus Cummings?
Yeah, that would be it, part one.
President Trump is under fire tonight after an attack on another prominent African-American member of Congress.
This time, the president lashed out on House Democrat Elijah Cummings.
It's the latest in a series of attacks on congressional leaders.
Paula Reid begins our coverage tonight from Washington.
Before heading out for a round of golf this morning, President Trump launched a Twitter attack against Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings, claiming his district is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.
Cummings' district includes much of the city of Baltimore and reaches into Baltimore and Howard counties.
The president tweeted Cummings should spend more time in his district to help clean up this very dangerous and filthy place.
The attack appeared to be related to a July 18th hearing on border detention facilities where Cummings sparred with Acting Department of Homeland Security Chief Kevin McAleenan.
We're doing our level best in a very...
What does that mean?
What does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces?
Child!
Can't take a shower.
Child!
Come on, man!
Child!
What's that about?
None of us!
We'll have our children in that position.
They are human beings.
Today, the president insisted the border is clean, efficient, and well-run, just very crowded.
Cummings responded by tweeting that he goes home to his district daily and fights for his neighbors.
He then urged the president to work with him on addressing prescription drug prices.
Baltimore is ranked as one of the most violent cities in the U.S., but the president's language today mirrored his previous attack against the so-called squad of four minority congresswomen, where he asked, why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended Cummings, tweeting, we all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership.
Racist!
Racist!
I think there was a second part of this.
Yes, there is.
Paul, any sense as to why he's launching this attack now?
Arena, clearly he wants to draw attention to the struggles of a democratically controlled district.
But by tweeting about Baltimore, he's distracting from two notable accomplishments he had yesterday.
First, the Supreme Court told him he could begin using Pentagon funds for construction of a border wall, and he struck a deal with Guatemala that may help stem the flow of migrants over the southern border.
As he's returning from his Virginia Golf Club tonight, he's also been tweeting about Antifa, the wall, and the Mueller investigation.
Wow, that was really interesting.
They reversed it.
Yes.
I mean, that was fantastic.
So they reversed saying, oh, he's distracting from these winds that he had.
What?
What station was that?
That was CBS. Fire them!
Fire them!
No, I think you're wrong.
I think the way it works is the following.
You have to put yourself in the other dimension, at least for a split second, without going there.
All right.
It goes like this.
This guy is so stupid that when he actually has a good thing happen for him, he doesn't care because he's such a racist.
Yeah, okay, yes.
But meanwhile, they just gave some information a lot of people don't know, which has been very under-reported about the court case.
They can say they reported it, by the way, right there.
Yes, they can.
And before I play the CNN explanation of why it's racist, another boots on the ground from a producer living in Baltimore, Maryland.
I love our producers.
In light of some of the comments President Trump made the other day regarding the city, I wanted to share some of my experiences and thoughts on this.
First and foremost, in a way, I agree with the president.
While his comments were dramatic as they usually are, Baltimore has unfortunately become yet another one of the United States' most terrible cities.
There's a lot to unpack as to why, from the corrupt leadership to the extreme liberal policies of coddling, and yes, of course, our rampant drug problem.
The community in which I live with my wife and kid is almost a perfect little place, just on the outskirts of the city proper, yet we have a continuous influx of major violence over the past year alone.
Four separate incidents of residents being held up at gunpoint since this summer.
My house being broken into while we were home.
You know it's getting bad.
A continuing occurrence of drug dealing.
You get the point.
It is such that my wife and I are no longer comfortable walking down the street.
I often don't sleep well during the warmer months, but probably due to some form of PTSD from the break-in.
I can understand that.
One of my biggest frustrations is that my neighbors don't seem to mind the violence.
They complain when it happens, but then their liberalism or something else takes over and they decide it's not that bad or since it didn't happen to them, it's not a problem.
A lot more to unpack.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to send you a series of small write-ups about what I'm seeing here.
Of course, we love that.
Also, if I sound frustrated, it's because I am frustrated and angry.
A name withheld for work reasons.
So, it's probably on par with many other cities currently.
Austin is on its way.
Nice little tweet war we had going on there.
You trying to send bums and hobos to Austin?
No.
Well, you're the one that encouraged it.
If anyone didn't miss this, it was pretty good.
If I was going through my archives and I found some old pictures of Austin from 1999, it looked like a terrible, terrible place.
We knew what you were saying with that.
Before you jumped in, I was going to say, look how much it's improved.
The next series of tweets...
Bullshit.
No, you jump in.
The white man lie.
You speak with forked tongue.
I don't believe it for a second.
You jump in.
Before I had the chance...
You jump in and show San Francisco today being a hellhole.
Yes.
And then it dawned on me, you're right.
Yes.
San Francisco is a hellhole and Austin's beautiful homeless people go to Austin.
Well worth the price of admission, which is nothing on Twitter to see that.
So here is CNN. Now, of course, you have to be a black guy on CNN in order to explain this.
And I don't know who this guy is.
It's a midday host, but maybe it's just on the weekends.
You see, we're missing the code words in what the president is saying.
This morning, the president attacked another member of Congress on Twitter.
This time it's House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings.
He wrote this.
Cummings District is a disgusting, rat-and-rodot-infested mess.
If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous and filthy place.
No human being would want to live there.
Infested.
That's usually reserved for references to rodents and insects.
But we've seen the president invoke infestation to criticize lawmakers before.
You see a pattern here?
Just two weeks ago, President Trump attacked four minority congresswomen.
Why don't they go back to the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came?
Reminder, three of them were born here.
All of them are American.
Infested, he says.
A week before his inauguration, January 2017.
We do have to at least stop.
Scott Adams made a huge stink about this in his little thing.
Oh, really?
Yeah, he says, you know, they always read, why don't you go back to the crime infested, blah, blah, blah, but they never read the rest of the tweet, ever.
Oh, there was more to the tweet?
They never read the rest of the tweet.
I saw the tweet when it came out, and I don't have it in front of me, but I can paraphrase.
It says, go back to the crime infested place from where they came.
Fix it.
Come back and tell us what you did.
Yeah.
So there's the notion to come back.
Right.
So they're not telling him to leave and state it.
Right.
And in this case, with infested being the code word, he would really be asking for infestation to return, which he's not doing.
So I got you.
The whole thing is, this is another made up, oh, I'm so upset by this guy.
I'm surprised they don't bring, you know, putting him in prison after he gets out of office nonsense.
But okay.
But that needs to be mentioned because they refuse to read the rest of the tweet.
And even the CBS report that we had earlier on impeachment, they read part of the tweet and then they didn't read.
They showed it on the screen and then they had it highlighted and only read from the gut of it.
They didn't read the whole thing.
I mean, it's just ridiculous.
Yeah.
Okay, go on, go on on your merry way.
Places from which they came.
Reminder, three of them were born here.
All of them are American.
Infested, he says.
A week before his inauguration, January 2017.
Wait, more proofs!
Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart, not to mention crime infested.
Donald Trump has tweeted more than 43,000 times.
He's insulted thousands of people, many different types of people.
But when he tweets about infestation, it's about black and brown people.
Okay.
Oh, man.
That's not Clip of the Day, but I'm going to give you a borderline so at least get credit for digging it up.
That's pathetic.
That is so pathetic.
I love that payoff.
Oh, man.
Hey, I have some important data about the closed captioning mystery.
Oh, I'm interested.
Yes.
I brought it, by the way, before you do.
I got to at least catch up my side of the bargain, which is I talked to the kids about it.
And they both say, well, the sound quality is so bad.
Hello, sound engineers!
The sound is so bad that you have to have it on sometimes.
And so we're watching something the other day.
And somebody says something.
They go, what do you think of the Vazibah?
And then I said, what did he say?
And Jay says, maybe we should turn on closed captioning.
Well, the analogy is spot on, because what you conjure up with that, and by the way, almost everyone who responded, and the number of people who are using closed captions today on movies and television, and that's really where it's most interesting to me, that people do it on watching anime or other things, whatever.
When the sound is being mixed, you have, you know, imagine a big mixer and there's all your sound effects and your music and your dialogue.
And to many people, and I guess it happened to you as well, I don't know if it happens often, I certainly don't have it very often.
It sounds like the fader on the mixing board of the speech of the actors is too low.
I think that's what most people are characterizing this as.
Now, for sure, although no one has written in with any real technical data of this being a rampant problem for everybody and an explanation as to why or why, Is this not the default configuration that you get a good mix, even if it's 5.1 surround sound, you can hear it perfectly on a stereo set or in any type of situation?
I haven't received any of that, but I did get an email from quite an authority on the topic, and I'm talking about the auditory processing angle of what may be happening with people's hearing.
And this came from producer Mariella.
I'm going to read from her email.
The young lady who wrote to you and John last year with my associate executive producer note about how the No Agenda show helped me to survive a brain aneurysm and two brain surgeries two years ago.
Remember this nice note we got from her?
Yes.
She said, never forget, listeners, no agenda is great for brain health.
And, you know, it was very nice and she gave us a lot of credit, which we, of course, could not accept.
But she says because of our, whatever we're talking about, it really helped her improve her brain health.
Well, it turns out there's a lot of, she has a lot of standing in this area.
I am a speech-language pathologist and published clinical researcher in Oregon.
While a graduate student earning my Master's in Communication Disorders in the filthy and decaying Portland, I was a student research fellow in the Cochlear Implant and Research Lab at Oregon Health and Sciences University, one of the top health research institutions in the country.
For two years at the lab, I led the experimentation and data collection at the National Institute of Health-funded research study that was looking at the differences in auditory processing data between individuals with normal hearing thresholds and those with cochlear implants.
Now, you can imagine my joy when I get this.
I've learned a lot about hearing because of my hearing aids and the research I did into that.
Just to review, auditory processing difficulties is when your ear is perfectly capable of sending the signals into your brain, but your brain is not processing it correctly, and so you can't hear anything, certain things, and this is her direct field of research.
In order to do this, I conducted several experiments that looked at various aspects of auditory processing in both these groups.
The most important and relevant of those experiments was using an EEG machine to measure the auditory evoked potentials and latencies in the auditory brainstem's response to sound.
Now, I'm going to explain what this means because I had no idea, but they can very accurately measure how you are processing sound.
And the way it's done is with two little electrodes, which is scalp electrodes, and they measure, I guess, some kind of protein.
And this is where it gets completely nuts.
When you hear a sound, when they have the EEG, what is EEG? Electronic Electrograph or something?
I'll look it up.
Yeah.
It's been around for a while as far as I know.
The thing is, it's not a very...
It's like some hot shit new technology.
They just put...
Put it on your brain with a bunch of pros.
The electroencephalogram.
Okay.
So here's what's cool about it.
When you hook someone up to this with just two of these scalp-based probes, you can actually record the waveform of what someone is hearing at that moment, and it is, in perfect hearing, identical to the waveform that went in.
And it's very rare that you can do these kinds of experiments because in essence you're getting exactly what the brainstem is doing and sending off to whatever center so that you heard something.
Now, this woman who she pointed me to, Nina Krauss, who...
I have all of her links in the show notes.
She's a scientist.
And she did a demonstration, and I hope the sound is...
I mean, of course, a sound demonstration is always done with a room mic and not close mic.
But what they discovered is when they were measuring this, you put sound in, you get the waveform on the EEG readout.
What can you do with the waveform?
You can take that waveform, put it into Audacity, and play it back.
And she showed doing that.
It's mind-blowing.
And the shittier it sounds, or certain parts of it, shows the latency in your auditory processing.
So, this is a True representation, with good hearing in this case, of what you are and are not processing when it comes to sound.
I just want to play this minute and a half of this Nina Krauss so you can get an idea of how effective this test is.
Okay, so how do we...
We measure sound processing in the brain of this with this very, very fast precision.
Just with a couple of scalp electrodes, so we play a sound, and here is the sound wave, and here's the brain wave, and what do you notice right away?
They're similar, right?
The sound wave and the brain wave actually kind of resemble each other, which is very uncommon in biological systems.
I mean, usually you're looking at some response that is a very abstract representation of what it is that you're delivering to the system.
And when we saw this, we saw that, you know, we figured we have less electricity.
We can...
Play electricity back through a speaker, and it ought to sound like the sound wave.
And, you know, it kind of does.
So here's...
So what she's doing now is she has two...
She has a slide up, and she has the original sound as heard by the person.
And then she plays the waveform that came off of the brain stem, played back in essentially audacity.
Sound wave.
Brain wave.
A scale and the brain's response to the scale.
Little Mozart, and then the brain will...
And my favorite.
So you get the idea.
They can actually play back what your ears heard and what your brain processed.
Now the mixer analogy comes back because how you process sound is each individual, your variance of how you process sound is based on neuroplasticity.
If you don't use it, you lose it type thing.
Or if you're multilingual, like I am, you can process accents much better.
So it's all just how your brain has been trained and what pathways you've created.
So the point is, as Mariella says, we can definitely measure in science just how accurate the brainstem is processing language, giving us insight into the health of one's auditory processing ability for which we have normative data.
And she says it comes back to the idea of brain plasticity.
The human auditory system is a top-down biofeedback system.
Incoming stimuli shape how the brain processes those stimuli by stimulating our reward system, like serotonin.
These are things you get from social networks, by the way.
Strengthening our neural connections for things like speech processing.
And the more exposure to those complex stimuli, the better the brain is tuned to focus on those exact stimuli.
With that in mind, if this generation we're discussing are missing out on crucial opportunities to engage in communicative interactions in naturalistic contexts, such as one-on-one conversations with caregivers, friends, etc., it's a near certainty that over one's lifespan, that would decrease one's it's a near certainty that over one's lifespan, that would decrease one's overall auditory
And he said one final important thing, hearing speech in noise is one of the most important markers of auditory processing ability that's been frequently identified and researched.
That is to say, the better an individual's ability is to hear speech in noisy environments, the better their overall processing skills are.
This is because the part of our auditory brainstem's job is to block out competing stimuli.
We developed this ability during the early history of Homo sapiens.
Cavemen, for lack of better term, were tribal and did not have language.
In order to survive, they relied on filtering through the external auditory stimuli around them to determine if their environment was safe or dangerous.
So I extrapolate this.
I'm not a scientist.
But I think that if the sound mix is off, let's just take that as a top line given everyone complains about that, and you start using closed captions, it is entirely possible that the ability to hear speech in a noisy or complex sound environment starts to diminish.
And then you just may be stuck on closed captions forever.
And I think that may be something that's happening.
Well, that was a roundabout way to go into temporary that I did not expect.
A couple of things.
Maybe.
Doesn't account for that.
It's fine.
And I think the theory is good that what you're saying, which I wish you would have teased it better, what you're saying that is having the captions all the time is going to hurt you.
Yeah.
Because you're going to be...
You're going to lose that...
Although in the fact of learning languages, you made the point the other day, which is just the opposite of this, which is how the Dutch would play their American movies with closed captions, and you could learn English a little better than the Germans who overdubbed everything.
Look, I'm just telling you what I was saying.
I just want to get back to what I... I still want to get back to my problem that I had hearing somebody whispering on television.
I think everything that you said there is fine, and I think it's probably correct.
But I still believe this is all part of the Dolby-ization of the sound.
I think Dolby 5.1 is the real basic problem With the sound on today's movies on TV. Yes, I think it starts there, and I agree with you.
How many people do you know have a center channel, a real one?
No, I agreed with you when I said that at the top and the close, that that is the most common thing people complain about.
Now, I think this happened to me, and I'll explain why, or this similar occurrence.
For quite a while, when people would listen to the No Agenda show, your volume was low.
It was about three dBs lower, three dog biscuits.
Now, my meters, because you have to trust your VU meters, were showing the exact same level.
And I was hearing you at the appropriate level.
Even though the recording was not the same.
I think that what happened to me is I saw the meters, I saw they had to be the same.
I believe that I was picking you out in a different...
I was moving up that slider on my auditory processing to put you on equal footing with my own voice.
And it really threw me for a loop, and then once we figured out that I was totally hearing it wrong and was being recorded incorrectly, we were able to rectify the situation.
But that could have easily been me just wanting to hear that louder, and I processed that differently.
Or it could have been psychologically, some deep, deep psychology.
Of you definitely wanting to get me down 3 to 4 dBs so you could constantly boom your voice over mine.
That's what I think was going on personally.
Because I hate you.
Exactly.
No, you just like your own voice better.
Anyway, I want to thank Mariela and also congratulate her.
It's her birthday today.
So happy birthday.
Put her on the list.
Yes, I put her on the list.
And before we take a break, I do have something very important to share with you.
In fact, this harkens to your newsletter.
You had a trifecta of sad animals today.
I saw that was...
We had the broke beagle, sad puppy.
No, sad panda, sad cat.
Sad panda, sad kitten, the trifecta.
And we had already agreed we were going to try and use the elitist trick, which is to abuse children into making a plea for people to donate to the show.
And we had asked, you know, if you have Greta Thornburg for the Green New Deal, we had these kids reading the horrible emails from the children who were caged at the border, ripped out of their mother's arms and jammed in a cage, forced a drink out of toilets.
And it's effective and it works, so we need that too.
Hold on a second.
This is up for debate.
Because there's been a twist in the psyche of the Americans and the world consciousness, which is where they feel more sympathy and empathy toward dogs more than they do people.
Thanks for derailing my introduction.
We'll just leave the dog part alone and we'll hear from our first child.
Oh, we finally got some good.
I'm not going to let you walk on it either.
Okay, you ready?
Yep.
My name is Felix Wilson.
John and Adam are looking for an exit strategy.
If you don't do something now, you will reach a tipping point.
They'll find something else to do and there'll be no more show.
Without no agenda, our amygdalas will be left as well and there'll be no more goat karma for anyone.
Please go to dvorak.org slash NA and donate now.
It's for our children's amygdalas.
Do you feel it?
The Magdala part may be going overboard, but okay.
But it is like the unbelievability of these kids, sure.
We will have the full version of that.
Is that Chris?
That's Chris's son, Squire Felix Wilson.
The kid's on his way to a career.
The full version at the end of show, Mix.
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 cochlear implant, John C. Dvorak.
In the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water, and all the dames tonight's out there.

In the morning, to the artiste we had for episode 1158, 1,158, title of that was Taking a Mueller, and Mike Reilly brought us, we just saw another beautiful piece of work.
Is this now a third in a row for Mike Reilly?
I believe it is, so he's got the trifecta.
He's got the trifecta.
He had the bird with the camera lenses.
Of course, the birds aren't real.
We have learned that on the last episode.
And I got a lot of good responses.
It was also one of those beautiful, big, bold, colorful pieces that really works when people see that show up in their podcast app or wherever you get podcasts from and it just invited you to click on it.
And it's highly appreciated.
It's part of our Value for Value network where you can contribute in many ways.
And Mike Riley did that in spectacular fashion.
And you can as well and can also see all of the art that our artists did at noagendaartgenerator.com.
Thank you again, Mike Riley.
All right, we do have a few people to thank for show 11.59.
Quite a few executive producers, all pretty much jammed in the same price category.
It's kind of interesting.
Joseph Finley at the top of the list with $333.33.
And he has a note saying, ITM, gents in troll room, jingle, Hillary barking, two to the head, don't raff, stop raffing.
Look at the juice.
Your comments about no one reciprocating on the snaps The newsletter said sad animals worked.
I have made over $2,000 based on your tip thus far.
There we go.
Since then I've donated 33% of the first $1,000 two shows ago.
Now I will donate another 33%.
The value for value works, folks.
Chip in!
I love that.
What's the ceiling on Snap?
Well, I don't do that.
We don't do that without a big disclaimer.
We don't do stock tips.
We just notice stuff.
You have to pull the stock tips.
You can figure it out.
Yeah, we don't do that.
I would go to Yahoo Finance, look at Snap, and go down into the buy-sell recommendations, what particular brokers are recommending it, and then scrounge around, and you'll see a bunch of predicted limits.
In fact, Yahoo does them pretty well.
And that, to me, is always like a six-month Six-month number, so take it for what it's worth.
It'll be way low.
Anyway, if it continues to build in value, perhaps this is my exit strategy to begin a no-agenda compound in Arizona that blitzed and I discussed in the troll room.
Does the guy blitzed?
Yeah, sure there is.
I blitzed.
I'll have to stay out of HAG's crosshairs unlike that other compound.
Thanks again for all the deconstruction and such.
All right.
Why you are laughing?
Shut up.
Oh my gosh!
Can you see that juice?
You've got karma.
And we should mention that Joseph Finley is Baron Walkman.
Yes, he is.
Yes, he is.
And thank you, Baron Walkman, for your support of the program.
Sir Kevin McLaughlin in Locust, North Carolina came in with the exact same amount, $333.33, but somehow he became the second guy.
F-Carts Cancer Karma for my uncle...
Huey Willett of Locust, North Carolina.
Plus, general goat health karma for the amygdala shrinkage.
Title change to Earl of Luna or Earl of the Moon, whichever sounds more grandiose.
I like Luna, personally.
I think so, Luna's better.
John and Adam, your opinion matters below.
Thank you, God bless the No Agenda Nation.
Stop it!
You've got...
Karma.
Uh, oh, you gotta dig up your little...
News Bomb!
News Bomb!
I was ready for it this time.
Yeah, I noticed.
That's very unusual.
Oh, I've been doing that for a while now, but you just notice it now.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Okay, onward.
Whoops.
I have to hit the escape key.
Windows 10 will sometimes just minimize everything and put everything up on the screen.
I don't have that.
How does it do that?
It'll happen.
Oh, you're hitting that timeline thing is what you're doing, probably.
Archduke Nussbaum, 31415 from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
ITM, Adam and JCD. I'm at a halfway point of a 10-day stint on Cipro.
Woo!
Wait a minute.
Isn't that if you have a bladder infection?
Maybe.
And you can also take Cipro if there's some kind of radiation, I think.
Isn't that what they say?
I'm not a doctor.
We've talked about this.
You are a doctor.
I don't remember any of this.
Okay.
Anthrax.
It's for anthrax.
I'm sorry.
Cipro combats anthrax.
Oh, Cipro.
Yeah, I vaguely remember Cipro and anthrax.
Sorry, I didn't do it.
Definitely not radiation.
That's iodide.
Get those from the seed man.
Sorry I didn't respond fast enough when the backup was called for on Thursday.
He's just writing in to apologize.
Well that's very kind and I did want to add to that that after the show six people, total six people had recorded the live stream.
And it blew me away, because usually he wasn't there, Martin JJ, and he usually has a backup.
And I think there were probably more, and I really appreciate people who do that.
I think they're also doing it just to record all of our banter and stuff before the show.
And I want to have some exclusive material.
And people like that.
They like that.
Anyway, it's nice to know.
And thank you, Archduke Nussbaum, for having a recording going, and also, of course, for your support of the show.
Next on the list for $300 is Sean Clunk.
And Sean didn't write...
I looked for his note.
I do have a note from him from 2014, but I don't have any note for this $300 donation.
It wasn't apparently encountered on PayPal if it was there.
So, sorry.
Sean, if you have anything...
You have the right to a long message, so send it in.
We will read it eventually.
Tim of Omaha, anonymous.
Tim Anonymous of Omaha, $266.84.
JCD has note.
Alright?
Alright.
JCD must have the note.
I have a bunch of notes, unfortunately.
No, we love the notes.
Here's one from...
This is the one from Tim.
It's a little small typewritten note.
I have to put my glasses on to read it.
Your segment on social de-platforming in episode 1151 was excellent in all respects.
In fact, I thought it was so important that I forwarded on to my now independent human resources.
My apologies for not getting this to you sooner.
Thank you both for what you do.
It is important and it does make a difference.
Anonymous.
Anonymous?
Tim.
Timnonymous.
Timnonymous.
Thank you, Tim.
Ian Larson in New Zealand...
And he, I will take a quick look at the email because I did not search this.
Now, I'm thinking $255.
No, that's dollars, dollars.
No, there's no upgrade or anything.
He must have come in with 300 New Zealand ducats.
Isn't there a rule for Australia and New Zealand?
Well, yeah.
What is the New Zealand dollar at right now?
Not good.
I'll bet you 300 New Zealand shekels is $255.
So he may be an executive producer instead of associate.
Yeah, we'll put him up.
We'll bump him.
That's what I'm thinking.
I just want to make sure.
But I think that sounds about right, because it's suppressed over there.
Well, I do have...
I was hoping some of the trolls would do the calculation.
Here it is.
I got it.
I got it.
He sent a note in.
I do have it.
Ah, good.
Well, that was Tim Larson.
No, it's 255.
No, I got the 266.84.
Oh.
I don't know.
Now I'm confused.
Here is a note from Tim Larson.
That was Tim Anonymous.
No, that was a different guy.
Who's this other?
I got too many notes.
It's 66 down under bucks to the dollar.
So yeah, he'll be an executive producer.
Well, I gotta read this other note in the meantime.
This is the 266.84 note.
In the morning, first I would like to apologize for my penmanship.
Um...
A strange hybrid of capital A. It's unreadable.
This donation represents 1% of my...
Oh, this is a good note.
$266.84.
This is the one from Tim.
Yeah.
The anonymous one is some other guy.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
But this is worth listening to.
This donation of 266.84 represents 1% of my gross income for 2019 so far.
Wow.
So he's made, that would be, add 100 to it.
So he's up to, okay, $260,000 it sounds like.
Wow.
I have been a douchebag for a long time and I feel something of any karma.
I need some karma since I've I started listening in the days before show 33.
I listened to the grand.
He was there when Freddy the Firewall was introduced.
And he misses him?
No, he doesn't say that.
Nobody says that.
No one has ever said that.
No one mentions that.
I'm an information security dude named Tim.
I prefer to be called cyber security, but for me and cyber kids and Lord, bad memories of the disgusting 90s is something about the chat room.
Goes on with some mumbling, some more stuff.
I made my final payment towards my student loan back in June, so expect more frequent contributions.
Maybe it was making good money.
He says, I can afford to match my 10% tithing contribution to the Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints.
He's a Mormon.
A Mormon who can't write, does not have good handwriting.
That's very unusual.
Regarding Adams, Adams says, Adams claim that the church owns Ancestry.com.
That is not true.
The church does have a partnership with Ancestry for sharing genealogy, but does not have an ownership interest.
This is a long time ago, and we did correct it at the time.
But they definitely have an interest.
If you must give out some karma, give it to my stepfather.
He has an internal disease with blocked arteries in his heart.
On his foot needs good health.
Thank you, Tim.
Can we get some karma?
And does he need a dedouching?
Did I understand that?
It's his first...
I mean, it seems like he does, but he's going to...
I'm giving it to him.
I'm giving it to him.
You've been dedouched.
You've got karma.
I'm just crazy on the karma today.
So 384 New Zealand ducats is 255 U.S. dollars.
That's Ian Larson.
Yes.
Now, that didn't come in as a check, so that came in PayPal.
I do not have anything for that.
Okay, but we'll make him an executive producer, as that is the rule for down under dollars.
Right.
Okay, good.
Uh...
Oh, brother.
We pronounce that in the Netherlands.
We call it Dodi.
Oh, Dodi de Jong?
Dodi de Jong.
De Jong in Rosendal?
Yeah, Rosendal.
Exactly.
Rosendal?
Yeah.
That's the one.
Do you have a note from him?
I do not have a note from Dodi.
But it's an associate executive producership.
Thank you very much, Dodi.
From Rosendal.
I have one from March 26, 2019.
No.
Well, that's from Peter.
No, that's Peter.
Different to you.
Not Dodie.
Okay.
I don't know.
Is that a male or a female?
That is typically male.
Dodie?
Mm-hmm.
It's like Dodie from Princess Diana.
Except this is a Dutch spelling.
Okay.
All right.
Now we have...
I do have a note here.
I believe...
Yeah, this is just a quick note.
Thank you.
This is Scott McKay.
Or McKay.
St.
Mary's, Ontario.
$237.59.
I believe this is also $300 in Canadian.
Because this is Canadian money.
Oh, no, wait.
He sent it in $230.
No, it's not.
Never mind.
It's not.
It doesn't go up.
It goes down.
So $300 in Canadian would be...
It doesn't go up.
It's the same thing with our New Zealand guy.
It doesn't go up.
It goes down.
Yeah, I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but the way I understand it...
In other words, Ian Larson's donation is about $200 and so is Scott's.
No, I think...
No, these numbers are U.S. dollars on the spreadsheet, correct?
Correct.
No, they're the dollars that showed up on the, in this case, in the check.
The check came in.
Oh, okay.
That's why I was confused.
Okay, gotcha.
Yeah, you're right.
I think the Ian thing would go up.
Okay.
This is confusing, people.
Anyway, he says a nice short note.
Thank you.
We need staff.
Thank you for your courage.
Health karma to my daughter, niece, and employee.
Okay.
All right, we can do that for you.
You've got karma.
Bobby Curiel, $222.22.
In the morning, and aloha, gents.
Bobby from the big island of Hawaii here, wanting to show my gratitude.
The ability to be grateful for what I have has been exacerbated since I moved to an island with such abundance and the absolute best water on the planet.
Mm-hmm.
Which island is he on?
Oh, he's on the big island in Hawaii.
It's cockroach infested.
Racist!
My boss, whom we referred to as Jeff, passed away last weekend.
It was not only unexpected, but left more questions than answers.
My request is jobs, Karma, for the several employees of a new Mamaki tea farm.
Huh, look up that Mamaki, see what that is.
And myself, to continue Jeff's vision.
Or Jeffy.
I would like to know what it takes to get a Jeffy scream, like Mueller, Nussbaum, etc.
And dedicate that to him.
In addition, I'd like a random Jesse Schmaxton.
I think he means Al Sharpton, but he's saying Jesse Jackson, somehow.
Jesse Schmackson, yeah.
I'm looking to my knighting aloha to you and what you do.
Okay, we may, I've talked to Fletcher about this.
We may, we used to do this about five years ago.
We instituted a, you could buy a Fletcher's free.
And it was expensive.
I think it was 300 bucks or something.
Wow, that's quite a pricey scream.
We did quite well for that promotion.
We may do it again.
Well, you talked to Fletcher about that.
In the meantime, Mamaki Tea is an all-natural, decaffeinated herbal tea from Hawaii.
And I can't really...
There's a lot of Mamaki links that I'm seeing here, so I'm not sure if the Mamaki Farm...
Oh, it looks like they might sell on Amazon, actually.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Interesting.
You learn something on this show.
Every single day we learn something new.
I love that.
Okay, so he needs a little bit of Rev Al and a Jobs Karma.
Thanks to you, Ed!
Is this Crown Hog Day 2?
We are watching That Was Attorney General Eric Holder, ABD, about some Republicans at home are already beating the drums of war.
Today, the Pentagon refuted that claim.
And he said the American people do not want him to, quote, They do not want him dwindling his thoughts.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
MSNBC pays him a lot more money than either of us make.
Oh yeah.
Well, he's the rev.
Bobby Curiel comes up next, $222.22 in the morning.
Oh, I'm sorry, we just did Curiel.
He was the one in Hawaii.
Aloha.
Mahalo.
Oh, Youp!
Sales guy Youp!
Sales guy Youp!
Oh man, I haven't heard from him in a while.
Youp and Marcin.
Yes.
Marcin.
Marcin.
You got it.
Marcin.
You nailed it.
For over 13 years, I've now been listening to both DSC and No Agenda.
You're still doing that?
No.
Via the show as I get in touch and meet many nice people.
The last Ultrek meetup was great as well.
I brought my 14-year-old daughter along.
This is the meeting we missed.
Along and we had quality time together.
Valuable talks on many different topics and she met a group of people who were open-minded and have the ability to converse respectfully with Thanks for all you do and for being a part of my life.
Sales guy, Youp.
Youp.
Yeah.
He's been a supporter of the show.
He was an early, early listener.
One of the first listeners to the Daily Source Code when podcasting just started.
It's so nice to hear from you, Youp.
Thank you very much.
And congratulations on bringing your...
I think I remember when she was born.
I think I remember.
I do.
How nuts is that?
I remember.
Let me give you some karma there, and yeah, consider having your child do a sad testimonial for us.
But she's a little old.
We need like 10-year-olds, not 14.
14 is just a mature woman.
Okay, John, we'll cut this part out of the show.
I'm sorry, I don't mean it that way.
You've got karma.
What are you doing?
Whoa!
The Epstein segment is next.
We're not there yet.
Give me some room.
Well, she'll appreciate it.
Of course she will.
Sir Patrick Comer, $200.
Best line from the last show, he says...
We don't have a felon in the White House.
We have a dementia patient in the witness stand.
Another zinger from the No Agenda show.
Yeah.
That was your quote.
Oh, really?
Well, there you go.
We're so underappreciated as artists.
We don't see us in the quote books or AZ quotes or anything.
We've got plenty of material.
It's unbelievable.
Oh, well, at least we have our great group of nice and And a great group of producers and executive producers And producers for the No Agenda Show.
And we want to thank the execs and associate execs for helping us in show 1159.
Yeah, and these titles that we hand out, that's not just willy-nilly.
They're actual entertainment titles that are recognized internationally.
And we'll vouch for you if anyone wants to know.
So you are either an executive producer of the No Agenda Show, episode 1159, or you're an associate executive producer.
Either way, it looks good.
It appears to help people get jobs.
You can pick up people with it.
Yeah.
Guys, girls?
Like, just so you know, I'm a producer.
Oh, really?
If only I could find an unknown.
Yeah, I'm like a major producer for a podcast.
You'd be surprised, actually.
Okay, where's your house?
Can I get in your car?
You're all over the map with it today.
We got a couple of nightings, and as you heard there, we have a title change and more people to thank, $50 and above in our next segment.
But for right now, please, for those of you who are considering donating, you heard a whole bunch of different ways people like to donate.
And by the way, we're transparent about it.
We give you all the numbers right there.
This is an open business, and we are very proud of what we built with our Value for Value Network of Producers.
And we're doing it again for you on Thursday.
Please remember us and support us at dvorak.org.
I don't know if you can hear the sound of my voice inside of all the noise, but you learned how that works today.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water.
Water.
Green, beautiful cash.
Shut up, slaves.
Shut up, slave!
Oh, maybe we should do a little Brexit.
Mr.
Bo Johnson.
Mr.
Bo Johnson.
It's kind of a general UK jingle we have now.
I'm liking it.
Mr.
Bo Johnson.
You know that's Sir Chris Wilson.
The guy's unstoppable.
He is.
Unstoppable.
I need to go to Australia, if only to meet with him.
You guys can produce some material.
Oh, you know, you're right.
The Keeper and I are talking about it.
We really want to go.
It's on the books for as soon as we can.
But yeah, I can just imagine.
We need three days just to hang with Chris.
We could probably produce some stuff.
I'm sure you can get some people to come by.
I mean, you get Sarah over there.
She wants to do some voice work for the...
Really?
Sarah?
Dame Sarah Harris?
The famous Dame Sarah?
Yeah, the famous Dame Sarah Harris.
She's famous.
She's famous.
She's very famous.
I know.
She's super famous.
She runs that morning show.
I think we even had a clip of her doing something silly.
And these days she even tweets at us from time to time, which I find...
I'm like...
She does.
Yeah, but that's risky.
She's risking her reputation.
I think in Australia, no, it's not the same.
It's not the same.
Our reputation.
You just tell them to sod off.
It's already shot in Australia.
Whatever.
Yes.
Okay.
So what do you got?
Because I teased a little Brexit chit-chat on the newsletter and I ended up with nothing.
Well, I don't have clips per se, but there are a couple of things going on.
First of all, in general, the expectation now is that Boris Johnson, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdoms of Gitmo Nation East, He's driving hard towards a no-deal Brexit, and they're operating as such.
He fired half of the cabinet, I guess, and he's rehired everybody, and they're bringing him in.
They're turbocharging the no-deal Brexit, and in a surprising move, well, maybe not to us, he has hired Dominic Cummings as an advisor to the prime minister.
Dominic Cummings, featured in the movie, About Brexit.
This is the guy who drove the...
That was the guy, the make it happen guy.
Yes, the guy with the algos.
The guy with the face bag material.
Smart idea.
Yeah, so we hired him.
I guess he's going to be the...
He'll probably be doing marketing and PR. It is seen as not just controversial, it is dangerous.
How's it dangerous?
Well, today it was confirmed that Dominic Cummings has been officially hired by our new Prime Minister as an advisor in No.
10.
The BBC's Laura Kusenberg tweeted that the appointment was controversial.
But it's not just controversial, it's dangerous.
Even more so than Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister.
This shift in tone leaves liberals like me, and this was from The Guardian, in no doubt we are now in a battle for the very future of our democracy.
Here it comes.
Let us remind ourselves of what Dominic Cummings stands for, dramatic music.
Made famous for masterminding the Leave campaign.
Immortalized by Benedict Cumberbatch in a Channel 4 drama.
This is a man who commentators describe as either an eccentric or evil genius.
He's responsible.
For the iconic £350 million a week bus slogan, the lie that Turkish immigrants were ready to join the EU and flood our borders with kebabs and cheap labor, and fined by the Electoral Commission for illegally spending in the 2016 referendum.
Lies are his currency at his own admission.
Accuracy is for snake oil pussies.
What?
That's apparently his own admission.
Maybe it was in the movies.
Snake oil pussies.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Now, so I have kind of a boots on the ground report from our friends in the UK. It was Mamie's best friend, Teresa.
I've never heard of Teresa.
He's a super famous rocker that is known for his harmonica.
Bob Dylan?
Mitt Gaiman.
He used to work with Ian Dury and...
Oh, hit me with your rhythm stick.
Hit me slowly.
Hit me quick.
Yeah.
So, the word over there is that Trump is going, is studying the NHS closely to bring it to the United States.
Huh.
Yeah, that's what I said.
That's exactly what I said.
Really now?
Huh.
Really?
Yeah, really.
And then it somehow gets convoluted to add an additional little dimension to it, which is somehow he's also going to take over the NHS in the UK. Because you see, and I'll say that you see, him and Johnson are like tight.
They're really tight.
Everybody knows that the two of them are just hanging out all the time.
Even though I see no evidence of this.
And they're going to kind of sell out the UK to the United States in one way, shape, or form.
By taking their NHS? I don't know.
That's all they know.
And it's just like, you know, because their papers over there are as bad or worse than ours.
Their information is shoddy.
The NHS is such an expensive program.
Granted, you only pay $5 for no matter...
That is your co-pay for everything, no matter what it is, for medication, because I was in the system.
But I also remember Christina dislocated her knee And she was a developing woman at the time.
She was in high school.
And it actually happened again.
And so we said, shoot, let's go get a scan.
And they said, sure, come back in eight weeks.
And I'm like, well, it seems kind of like, no, there's a waiting list.
It's not priority.
And don't run in the meantime.
Thanks.
So I took her private.
I paid for it.
And we walked into the same place.
There was no one there.
They were just sitting around.
They took my $5,000 and did the scan the next day.
So it's not a very efficient system, it doesn't seem to me.
Sounds like a crock of crap to me.
Yeah.
Now, we had multiple experiences with NHS. An emergency appendectomy did get taken care of pretty quickly.
That's a plus.
But, you know...
Otherwise, I don't know.
When you socialize the medicine, the healthcare to that degree, you can get waiting lists and prioritization.
It's the only way it can work.
And they're going to push your granny off the cliff!
That's not true.
You yourself just proved that that's not the only way it can work.
Because you waltzed into the place.
There was nobody there.
They're just slacking off.
They're feather bedding.
They're screwing.
This is corruption.
This needs to be fixed.
Well, maybe that's what the president is studying.
I don't know if he's studying anything.
It sounds like fear-mongering to me.
Some kind of mongering.
A lot of people don't like Johnson.
They're trying to push for another general election.
That's the big thing everyone's talking and moaning and groaning about.
And if they can get that to happen, of course, that would put Farage in.
I think he would probably just totally kick ass.
He would sweep it.
Little Brexit party is very popular.
I'm even more convinced than I was on Thursday that Johnson is not going to lead the country to Brexit.
I still think a new referendum will be in order.
And I don't know what the mechanism, why that will happen, but Johnson doesn't...
I don't think he even really wants...
I think he's just talking a big game.
I don't think his heart is in Brexit.
I have no proof.
It's the smell test with this guy.
And his odd background.
I don't know.
He's a very strange character.
I'm just not so sure.
I have a feeling he may bring it to another referendum.
That's the European way.
They're still in the European Union.
That's the way we do things.
Who's the one who's been promoting this idea?
Both of us.
We've been promoting this ever since the Lisbon Treaty.
Yeah.
Okay.
But if they do a hard Brexit, which is, again, neither one of us believe that will happen, but if they do, I think it'll collapse the stock market.
Everywhere or just theirs?
Everywhere.
Nice.
It'll only be a short term.
Buy the dips.
It'll be a flutter.
Buy the dips.
Buy the dips.
You know, I was looking for the Reverend Al teleprompter thing for the donation segment.
I came across a clip from 2015 titled, Reverend Al Calls for Federalized Police.
It's 20 seconds.
Can we just give it a listen?
Yeah.
Since we were talking about it?
We need the Justice Department to step in and take over policing in this country.
In the 20th century, they had to fight states' rights and to get the right to vote.
We had to fight states' rights in terms of closing down police cases.
Police must be held accountable.
I don't think all police are bad.
I don't even think most are bad.
But those that are need to be held accountable.
So he said it right there in the beginning.
So what makes these people think that a federal police department, Runs centralized from Washington, D.C. with no real interest in any of the states or what states are like or what kind of barbecue they eat.
What makes them think that that would be better?
Then the local people policing themselves, when all they talk about when it comes to like even policing within New York, oh, we want the community to police us.
We want more black cops.
We want community, community, community policing.
Make up your minds.
Do you want community policing or federal policing?
I think they want...
Now, remember, he's not speaking for himself.
He's a known, identified FBI informant.
So you know he's speaking on behalf of someone else.
That's a good point.
He's speaking on behalf of the federal police.
The FBI is, in effect, a version of federal police.
Centralized power.
He wants to be a part of it.
That's his game.
It's the globalist way.
Next, we'll have global police.
The global police force.
Stand by, citizen!
Disarm, citizen.
Disarm.
Reverend Al speaks.
Yeah, well, that's the problem.
Well, now I should bring up an old clip.
I have a retrospective of 10 years ago today, Clips.
Whoa, this is something we can only do on a Sunday.
I like it.
This is 10 years ago today.
What do you mean we can only do it on a Sunday?
I'm just making shit up here.
I don't know.
I'm filling space.
This is just to remind people what was going on 10 years ago on the No Agenda show and the kind of things that we were discussing.
So this is 2009.
Barack Obama was in office.
I was, I presume, was I in San Francisco or did I still shuttle back and forth between London?
No, no.
I think you were in San Francisco in 2009.
Okay.
Yeah, pretty sure.
All right.
But let's listen to that.
I'm going to be mixed up.
We'll first start with the top of the list, which is swine flu was a big deal.
This, by the way, was the measles year, too.
But they also have swine flu.
Remember, we poo-pooed the whole swine flu phenomenon as some sort of scam.
We didn't know what it was.
But let's listen to a clip.
They should stay home from school for seven days at least if it looks like they have swine flu.
And people who are sick should actually wear masks at home.
Also, wash your hands often and sneeze and cough into your sleeve, not your hand.
Vaccines are also going to be available, but you must get one for the seasonal flu and a separate one for the swine flu, which is two shots.
We'll be gearing up for on-site vaccination programs in probably about 40 schools in Contra Costa.
We'll be doing drive-through vaccine programs for the public in shopping centers beginning in November.
In the meantime, the health departments are working with each other and the school districts to track absences.
If another kid gets it, then we'll just bring him home and he'll be fine.
I think a lot of the media, could you put that back, right?
A lot of the media around it has been around the fear of what it might be as opposed to what the flu turned out to be.
It turns out the swine flu isn't more dangerous than the seasonal flu, but it's also here to stay.
It won't be going away.
We expect it's coming back in the fall with larger numbers.
What we hope is that it doesn't come back with more severity.
Lisa Chan, CBS 5.
And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
Now, did you hear that in there?
Which part?
It's here to stay, so every year the swine flu is in.
Oh yeah, and where is it?
It came and went two years ago, no one even talked about it.
Yeah.
And I had it.
I had it.
Hey, remember, I had it.
I had the swine flu, you recall?
Oh yeah, I do.
You did have the soin flu.
Yeah, and I coughed and I stopped smoking.
Yeah, you were miserable.
Although when you were on the show, you sounded...
This is one of the amazing things.
I will give you credit for this.
You're such a pro that...
And I will tell the public this.
You have been sick as a dog.
But when you hit the show, hey...
Boom!
You sound perfect.
Well, thank you for at least giving me credit for something.
Yes, you need credit for that.
I give you credit for something.
You also have better hair than I do.
I would never say that.
Yeah, sure.
Okay, here we go.
Now, we're back in 2009.
Tell me if this joke, this kind of homophobic joke by one of the great liberals of television...
What could even be told today by anybody, especially somebody like Trump, but this is the second clip, which is inflatable Anderson Cooper.
I don't know if this has anything to do with Gay Pride Week, but here in New York City, maybe you've noticed this, that all the street vendors are selling inflatable Anderson Coopers.
I don't know.
I don't know if it does or not.
Hey!
You know, around 9 o'clock, which is about an hour before we go to bed, I'll always flip on TV Land and Two and a Half Men, which I think they made 8,000 episodes.
The most homophobic, misogynistic jokes ever.
I can't believe that it's allowed to be on television at all.
And it's funny.
The jokes are incredibly dirty.
That too, yeah.
Yeah, and it goes, oh yeah, that's great.
My, my, how things have changed in a decade.
Next on the agenda, we have to imagine, we had Trump trying to make amends with North Korea.
This is where we were with North Korea in 2009, just a mere ten years ago.
This is the Hawaii clip.
Oh, I remember.
Also tonight, American warships are tracking a North Korean vessel off the coast of China that may be carrying illegal weapons.
Meantime, the Pentagon is beefing up our missile defense system to protect Hawaii from a North Korean missile attack.
A Japanese newspaper reports the North may be planning to test fire another missile, this one aimed at Hawaii on the 4th of July.
Most analysts doubt that it could reach the islands, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates isn't taking any chances, deploying a giant radar and missile interceptors to the Hawaiian islands.
Yeah, didn't it turn out that all that was just a bunch of fear-mongering bull crap?
Yes, that's what it turned out.
Costing the taxpayers millions.
And now our president just walks across the demilitarized zone.
Hey, bro, how you doing?
And no more testing.
Unbelievable.
It was only two years ago when I was in...
Yeah, two years ago I was in Europe and people were so afraid.
Do you remember?
I reported on it.
We're really afraid of this North Korea Kim Jong-un is going to blow us up.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
This is interesting.
I think the reason I said we can only do it on Sundays is...
Because you don't want me doing it every show.
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't mean it that way.
Because it's just hard to get quality...
Well, forget quality reporting.
To get any clips from Thursday to Sunday, it's either stuff we've been tracking throughout the week, and we can go in-depth in a few other areas.
I think that's what we're talking about.
No, I like to do a little side business.
Yeah, that's good.
Side biz.
Like a side gig.
But it gives us a little perspective.
The idea is to give us perspective.
And to show what this show has been about since day one.
Well, not since day one.
Since day 100.
Anyway, let's go to this one.
This is a classic.
To me, it's one of the great clips ever collected.
And this one is the, because they just try everything, everything.
And this is 10 years ago, mind you.
This is the fat people clip.
Kit Doe on why researchers say obesity is bad for the environment.
Obesity and global warming, both heavy topics now linked by a new study from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
It says people who weigh more tend to drive more and eat more.
And all that food?
It's shipped on average 1,500 miles from where it's grown to your plate.
Fat people, researchers contend, are killing the planet more so than those who are thin.
They would be, if you played that for, what was that, CBS? Who did that?
That was the local CBS affiliate.
Oh, they would be so embarrassed if they heard that today.
Fat shaming, body shaming.
It's just unbelievable.
It was one of the swings for the fences that the Global Warmest, you know, attempted, thinking that maybe this will work.
Go on a diet, you're killing the earth.
We should bring that one back, I like it.
The main thing nowadays is to switch to 18 months, we're all going to die.
Yeah, I know.
This is another gem.
That's right.
It's a gem.
All right, the last one, it turns out to be more of an enigma.
And this was a clip that I pulled, and I don't know if you even played this one on the show, but this is something the Democrats have to kind of Kennedy carried Wisconsin, but he did lose key Protestant districts.
And the next contest was in an overwhelmingly Protestant state, West Virginia.
To win there, Kennedy would have to confront the religious issue at every public appearance.
Senator Kennedy, how can we stop the religious issues that keep coming up to confuse the public?
Well, I think that...
Oh, I don't mind...
I must say that we shouldn't boo because it's a...
I am running for the presidency, which is a powerful office, given great power under the Constitution, and it is a matter of concern to a good many people, and the best way to get it answered, it seems to me, is to ask the question openly.
West Virginia was not only Protestant, it was notoriously corrupt.
Once again, the Kennedys left nothing to chance.
I tell the story about Eddie Ford.
Eddie Ford went out there, pocket full of money.
He'd see a sheriff.
And he'd say to the sheriff, Sheriff, I'm from Chicago, I'm on my way south.
I love this young Kennedy boy.
He can help this nation.
My God, he's got the feeling for it, you know.
He'll do things for West Virginia.
I'll tell you what he said.
His 3,000 or his 5,000, he said.
You carry your village for him or your county for him, and I'll give you a little reward on when I'm on my way back.
FBI wiretaps would later show that underworld figures, said to have old ties to Joe Kennedy, were also distributing funds on behalf of the Kennedy campaign.
Kennedy won West Virginia and all of the primaries.
Hmm.
Yeah.
There you go.
There's your virtue signaling Democrats in a nutshell.
So I looked into this.
This show was actually broadcast in 1992.
And most of this information is long forgotten.
Well, first of all, thank you.
That was a nice little segment.
I like that.
We should do that more often.
We'll do it every Sunday until things loosen up.
Well, it reminds me of this clip that I brought along regarding climate change.
I think when we only have 18 more months to go before we die, a story came out, which was propagated by the BBC. I mean, it's not just some...
Was that where it came from?
Yes!
Did you think that was the origin?
Well, let me see.
I have it here.
Let me tell you.
Green New Deal.
What's the rush?
All of a sudden, if we don't do something in 18 months, we've got to start.
Well, when is the 2020 election?
Is that about 18 months from now?
Yeah, but even so, was he going to change their vote because of this nonsense?
Well, so they can chat it up and...
Countdown to Armageddon!
We only have 16 months, 15 months and counting.
13 months and counting.
Destruction is coming.
It's impossible.
Yeah, that to me would be a Hail Mary.
Well, at this point, look, I've seen it all.
You've seen it all.
Ike, don't put anything past anybody.
This was doing the rounds in regards to that, so it's not brand new.
I think it was a year ago, maybe, these four climate scientists were on a panel, and they discussed the following report.
I just want to read something that they should read this at the Climate Summit.
I think they should really read this today to describe what's going on.
And this is from a reliable source, American Meteorological Society Monthly Weather Review publication, that the Arctic Ocean is warming up.
Icebergs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report by the Commerce Department at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, sea hunters, explorers all over point to radical change in climate conditions.
Why aren't they reading this?
And hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report scarcely any ice as far north as 81 degrees.
Soundings show the Gulf Stream very warm.
Masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones.
And it goes on and on.
Within a few years, it's predicted that due to the ice melt, the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
What year was that written?
Oh, that's right.
I'm sorry.
This is 1922.
This is November 1922.
And this is real.
This is not urban legend.
I know.
It's an old gag, but the problem is the one guy jumped on the punchline, which was too bad.
But that is a verbatim reading, and I like that.
It just shows you some of the insanity.
It's the same as playing these older clips.
You're like, holy crap, what happened to us in 10 short years?
Yeah.
I had a thing in the newsletter, I think it was similar to what that guy just read, and it was from the late 1800s perhaps.
Oh yeah, we have that.
This is always going on.
Then we had the period in the 70s where we're going to have an ice age and That didn't work out to frighten people enough, and so they backed off.
So Elon Omar, we've been tracking her a little bit.
There's this controversy.
I think she's the leader of the squad at this point.
I think she's pushed AOC aside.
And AOC, she's going to have to disassociate or go down in flames.
I think you're right about that.
Yeah, it's probably not smart.
And I saw the body language already.
She has a very different style than Omar.
That's because Omar is more of a puppet.
Oh, yes.
AOC is more of a puppet.
AOC is a puppet of the Justice Democrats and that one guy.
So she doesn't have the self-confidence that Omar has.
Omar exudes self-confidence.
She really thinks she's hot shit.
Well, I don't know if you saw this thread.
A lot of people forwarded this to me.
It's from the Imam of Peace.
Who was a real guy, Imam Hakini, I think his name is.
And he posted this thread on Twitter, and it's about Ilan Omar.
And now, what is going on right now is there's a lot of question and a lot of investigation going on as to her committing immigration fraud, tax fraud, by essentially marrying her brother, Bringing him in legally, then divorcing him, and then filing joint taxes with a guy she wasn't married to.
A lot of problems.
Which I think most people will leave alone.
However, this guy, the Imam of Peace, and again, a lot of people talking about this, posted the following.
I have sources for what I will say.
They are solid, rock, authentic.
Many officials will criticize me for making this public, but I have a duty to do so.
The public needs to know.
I understand the potential consequences of this threat, and I accept them.
I'm willing to go to the fullest extent with this matter, even if I'm required to testify in Congress.
This is the beginning of the uncovering of what could be a giant scandal.
The sensitive details of this matter will be shared in private upon request.
This congresswoman has confirmed to the above group of Qataris That the recent investigations into her cases will not end well for her.
They also fear that she's in trouble.
Now they are coming after several people.
I am one of those people, and their plan is as follows.
This congresswoman, talking about Ilhan Omar, told the group of Qatari officials who have invested in her that Speaker Pelosi is happy she is being investigated because recently they had rebelled against Pelosi, and she hates the pressure coming onto the party because of her.
The plan of the Congresswoman is to make all of this go away and strike a deal with Speaker Pelosi to put her cases aside if she puts the case of this Congresswoman aside and ignores it.
This is Qatari's goal in DC with regard to this Congresswoman.
The congresswoman, along with a Palestinian female activist from Brooklyn, that would be Talib, agreed on diverting the attention by planning to seek the assistance of the Intercept, Al Jazeera, and the Middle Easy Eye to fabricate the following scandal.
They want to claim that all of those criticizing this particular congresswoman are paid by Saudis and the United Arab Emirates.
And that would make sense because the Saudis and UAE have a big beef with Qatar.
They do not agree at all, down to almost military action.
And that it is a collusion against the congresswoman.
So they are planning on separating people.
Okay, so it goes on and on and on.
So the idea...
Is that to distract from all the problems she has, she's going to launch into everyone who criticizes me about this is a Saudi shill, and she apparently asked the Intercept, I don't know if they accepted this Intercept, but also Al Jazeera, which is Qatari-owned and based, to propagate this.
And I just found it fascinating.
A lot of people are looking at this.
And she has started to appear on Al Jazeera recently, which I think is relatively new.
Here's a controversial statement she made on Al Jazeera.
A lot of conservatives in particular would say that the rise in Islamophobia is a result of a lot of hate, but a fear, a legitimate fear, they say, of quote-unquote jihadist terrorism, whether it's Fort Hood or San Bernardino or the recent truck attack in New York.
What do you say to them?
I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.
And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring And creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.
That's right.
Not just crazy men, not old men, not straight men, cisgendered men.
No white men.
Just white men in general.
Thanks, Elon.
So we'll see what happens.
We'll see if we...
That's poorly played by her, I'd say.
I don't know.
Do you think someone's running her at all?
Or do you think she's autonomous?
I mean, it sounds like she's being run by...
I know that she became part of the Justice Democrats' block.
Right.
All four of them are.
And so they may be...
She doesn't seem like...
Anyone's running, or she seems to be running herself, and it's like...
Well, but if she has the backing of Katara, that's very interesting.
Well, that would give her even more confidence to say stuff like that.
There you go.
All right.
We'll see how that goes.
I mean, the Intercept is...
I don't know how they got their name in there, but at least knowing some of those guys...
The Intercept has to...
They have to make a statement about that because that...
That this Intercept would go after her.
They should because it's very damning.
The Intercept really touts its independence.
$250 million from PR DriveMyCar.
But okay.
There's independence there.
Well...
Omadar is a Trump hater.
So there's that.
But I don't see how helping this woman would benefit that perspective.
I don't know.
She's trouble.
I think...
She just left her husband.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So she's more of a character from like...
Star newspaper or Entertainment Tonight.
You know, she's got all these tribulations.
Yeah, yeah, there's something to that.
She's more of a Kardashian than she is anything else.
Hey, you know how if you're watching TV and...
I don't know if you have this, but the pharmaceutical commercials come on and you look at it and you go...
Shit, maybe I have that.
Have you ever had one of those moments like, well, maybe you didn't, but I may have tardive dyskinesia.
God, what is it?
Before I was diagnosed by my doctor, I didn't know why my body was moving like it had a mind of its own.
My eyes blinked way too much, even though I didn't mean to.
It turns out I have tardive dyskinesia, a condition that may be related to important medications I take from my bipolar disorder.
My fingers moved like they were playing a piano that wasn't there.
I was embarrassed that others could see my movements.
My doctor said tardive dyskinesia can affect different parts of the body.
It may also affect people who take medication for depression and schizophrenia.
I know I shouldn't change or stop my medication, so I was glad to learn that TD is manageable.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, visit TalkAboutTD.com or call 1-800-825-6533 to receive a free brochure that describes the uncontrollable movements of TD and where on the body they might occur.
You'll find a free discussion guide with ways to start a conversation with your doctor about how TD might be affecting you.
It's a relief to know that today, TD is manageable.
Learn more at TalkAboutTD.com.
So, you know, I have all this.
I got the blinking eyes.
Yeah, you got Tourette's.
What is the drug involved here?
Well, what they're saying, this is NeuroCream.
N-E-U-R-O-C-R-I-N-E, Neurocreen.
They're very sketchy because they say it could be, but I think what they're saying is people who are on antidepressants, after you take, what's the booster medication that they've been selling?
Xarelta or whatever.
Xarelta, Xarelta, Xarelta.
So that may not work.
You need to boost it with Xarelta, whatever it's called.
And then you may get all these twitches and ticks.
Maybe.
I think.
Here's another example.
I've been pretty stable with my schizophrenia for a while.
Then my kids asked me why my body was rocking back and forth.
My doctor said I have tardive dyskinesia, which may be related to the important medications I take for my schizophrenia.
I also felt my tongue darting and pushing against my cheeks.
I was glad to learn that today, TD is manageable.
Yeah, I have all of these, all these symptoms.
So maybe I could just try the meds and just see if it calms me down.
And you can call me Target.
I've never heard of this.
I've never seen these commercials.
I don't know what you're watching down in Texas.
This came on Fox News.
And it caught my attention for two reasons.
One, an ad that isn't MyPillow.com.
That guy's running now for good for me.
Yeah, good.
And second...
They were talking about twitches and ticks.
So usually I turn the volume down because I feel that all these big pharma commercials can actually give you what they tell you you might have.
Oh, I like that.
That's good.
That doesn't surprise me.
And so this tardive dyskinesia.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't take any antidepressants, but I have all the other symptoms.
It may be related to my Tourette's.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Should I talk to my doctor?
Yeah, you should talk to your doctor for sure.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
Talk to your doctor about having him donate to the show.
In the meantime, we do have a few people to thank.
Starting with Sir Phenom in Appleton, Wisconsin.
$161.96.
By the way, you know, they grow a lot of apples in Wisconsin.
And cheese.
He's got a birthday present for himself.
Well, there's something else going on here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's upgrading to Baronet today.
Oh, okay, good.
And July 28th is his actual birthday.
He says, love it when a show day is my birthday, though I'm never able to listen live.
Thank you for all you do to educate me on the finer points of what feeds into the larger elements of our world.
Your analysis and deconstruction are invaluable, and I give what I can when I can.
And here's to being a Baron.
We'll see you at the table later, Sir Phenom.
Thank you.
Sir Eric Hertha in Blue Ridge, Georgia, $150.
Anonymous in Kansas, $150.
And that's a note I read earlier.
That's the note you read earlier.
Got it.
I thought it was Tim, but we read it.
So you can go back to the first part and you'll hear that.
I read it with a nice accent.
Tim Esau.
There's actually a way of pronouncing this.
We used to have a government official name.
In the California name.
I think it's Esau.
Esau.
125.
And he says, ITM, on behalf of Oregon Local 33 Meetup, had a great time with Eric the Shill, wife and children, and about 23 others.
So that's a report, a meetup report.
The Oregon Local 33.
23 people.
Fantastic.
Like it.
Nice.
Jim Garbazewski.
I think.
Jim Garbarzewski, $115.90.
Stefan Prokop in Vienna, Austria.
Oh, that's nice.
$111.11 is a gift for his birthday on the 31st.
We put him on there.
He needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Put some karma for him at the end.
You bet.
Vienna.
It's a very...
It's one of the top cities.
Oh, Vienna!
Joseph DuPont.
And I don't know if it's the DuPont family, but he's in Tawanda, Pennsylvania, $101.01.
He sent a long note in.
Not a long note, but a big note with big, giant letters.
I recall we had a DuPont donating years and years and years ago.
I don't know if it's him.
Well, he's a ham because he says 73s and 88s, but he doesn't have his...
Oh, yeah, W2DEO. Oh, 73s.
K2CYT. Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
Yeah, W2DEO. He's got a couple of licenses.
Almost seems that we hate Russia more now than ever.
It could be that the commies here that are...
He's got something written.
I can't read it.
But he does something typed on the other side, which says, Dear Adam and John, this is my first donation after having my son Michael introducing me to the No Agenda show.
So that's a nice move, Michael.
Good work.
I would like to give Tawanda, Pennsylvania, 818-848 a dedouching for ignoring...
The efforts of our chief of police...
He should be douchebagging them, not de-douching them.
Douchebagging!
We fixed it.
It's fixed.
For ignoring the efforts of our chief of police and arresting the first two members, this is a good story.
Of the 1950 Boston Brinks robbery while in possession of stolen firearms.
This caused Joseph O'Keefe to turn state's evidence a few days before the statutes of limitation.
It was deemed to be the crime of the century.
Oh!
Do you know anything about this?
No.
I'm not a peep.
What is that?
Okay.
Thank you, Mr.
DuPont.
Alan Fletcher in Gold Beach, Oregon.
He's the, aka the Pope de Cyclismo KG7 KHP 73s.
Mark Bublitz, $100.
He says, I donated in the past.
You pissed me off.
I got over it.
You can call out my nephew Tom as a douchebag for not donating.
Douchebag!
Sir Sam and...
Sitting Born, Kent, UK, 8008.
Sir Herb Lamb, the Earl of Georgia, 8008.
He has a douchebag call-out for someone.
I know this donation hasn't been great for the last few shows, but the contents have been some of the best in the last several months.
Oh, thank you.
If possible.
I would like to wish my son...
Mark, a happy birthday, just turned 18 at the same time, called him out as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
I don't know, I guess he's on the list.
He's been listening to the show on and off for five or six years.
Sir Brian Kaufman in Scottsdale, Arizona, $75.75.
Christopher Bishop, $75.75.
Baron Mark Tanner, our pal in Whittier, California.
They're doing this Anaheim meetup.
He asked me about it in an email.
I forgot to get back to him.
6789.
And to get back to him was that I can't do meetups that are on Saturday night.
There's a show the next day.
Can't be done.

Bucky Slambo.
In San Jose, California, double nickels on the dime.
Fantastic work, he writes.
Paul...
Well, this is a Dutch name.
I would say Fruchtenhill, but Fruchtenhill probably is how they pronounce it.
Yeah.
Oh, here it says, please have Adam say my name as I would love to hear it pronounced like they would in Holland.
Here it is.
Paul Fruchtenhill.
There you go.
Nailed it.
You did.
I couldn't say you couldn't do it any better.
Sir Slardy Bartifast in Hope, Rhode Island, 5242.
They're slumming douchebags, he says.
Sir Jackson knighted the transistors in Loveland, Texas, 5150.

Castellanos in Guatemala.
Hey!
Give us a boots on the ground report, man.
What's going on ever since we signed the deal with Guatemala?
I'd love to know.
That's right.
I want to know what happened from the Guatemalan perspective.
Yes.
Alan Covedo III in Midlothian, Virginia.
He says he only donates once a year like paying for a magazine subscription, but you guys continue killing it with such great info and insights that I felt compelled to donate a second time, unlike most other listeners.
So people be compelled to donate like me, Sir Alan of Midlothian, Virginia.
Thank you.

Hellie, you think?
This is Jelle Alsumgeist.
Alsumgeist.
And he says, started listening three years ago after being hit in the mouth on the Dutch website Geensteil, which is kind of like a...
They hate me, interestingly enough.
They think I'm a slimy, celebrity, washed-up VJ. Yeah?
Somehow they hit him in the mouth on their website, and he's become a listener, so thank you.
This is great, and he's in India now.
Maybe the hate was so he said, who is this douchebag?
Let me go listen to his podcast.
Oh my God, this is so good.
It's all good to me.
Thank you very much, Yella.
Dennis Reichel, Richel.
Reichel or Richel, I'm not sure.

Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
I think we should probably do our meetups here.
This will keep your brain healthy.
You won't need closed captions if you go to these No Agenda meetups because you meet people, you talk one-on-one, you plasticize your brain stems.
And we got a report, oh no, July 28th, that would be today, we have the meetup in Central Florida and a note from the event organizer, Brandon, Please, if you could read the following on the show in relation to the Central Florida Meetup.
The Central Florida Meetup venue has been changed.

You heard how well that worked for a sales guy.
It's a pretty good idea.
And on to our nightings today.
Let me see.
We have, well, just one, so I'll grab the blade there.
You have yours?
There you go.
There you go.
Perfect.
Jake Hernandez, please step up to the podium.
You, sir, have supported the No Agenda show in the amount of $1,000 or more.

We got two title changes today which can be seen at itm.im slash peerage or dvorak.org slash peerage.htm.
Sir Kevin MacLachlan becomes the Earl of Luna and Sir Phenom reaches the level of Baronet.
Both of you, thank you so much for your support of the show, the No Agenda show.
According to the Mueller Report, the best podcast in the universe.
And again, remember us for our next show on Thursday at dvorak.org slash NA. Thank you for your courage.
So we've talked a little bit about, it comes up in the conversation, but I've got some more details, and this is the Office of Legal Counsel.
Huh, the one that prohibited Mueller from throwing the president in jail.
Or baby.
But they're always getting involved.
And I didn't, we always talk about him.
Well, the Office of Legal Counsel did this.
The Office of Legal Counsel did that.
And so we have a guy here who's, I think, worked for the Justice Department.
I don't know who he is, actually, but he's on Cheryl Atkinson's.
Yes, there's no N in her name, so it's hard to pronounce.
On her show, discussing this.
And it gives us a little background.
This is an educational segment.
Who?
And I found this to be quite interesting.
There's a lot of secrecy surrounding the Office of Legal Counsel.
Why is that?
Is it treated sort of like attorney-client privilege because they are advising federal agencies and the White House?
Yeah, so the Office of Legal Counsel claims, whenever we ask for these opinions, they claim that it's attorney-client privilege and therefore needs to be confidential.
But the problem is that the Office of Legal Counsel knows that the rest of the government Doesn't see these opinions as just legal advice.
They see the opinions as official decisions.
People who follow these legal opinions essentially receive legal immunity for their actions because the Department of Justice doesn't really like to prosecute people for following its own advice.
Huh.
So I thought that was interesting.
And this guy is...
I think he's a Justice Department guy.
Now, you know, I went back and tried to get his name in it, but he's given the scoop on this.
And he's here is the follow up clip, which is she asked him a specific question and about she seemed to be preoccupied with the torture memos that were done by this office of legal counsel, given everyone the OK. And here's this is a short 20 second clip explaining what was in those memos.
To be clear, what was the decision in the torture recommendation case?
The decision from the Office of Legal Counsel was that what we call enhanced interrogation techniques did not constitute torture as defined by international law or applicable U.S. laws.
Wait a minute, so did that phrase come out of the Office of Legal Counsel?
Apparently.
Huh!
That's interesting.
Well, there you have it.
That's one of those...
And once they say something, it's as good as gold because no one's going to do anything about it.
Yeah, that is kind of surprising.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Attention all human resources.
Now entering the second half of the show.
Second half of the show, John.
I don't know.
I'm going out on a limb with this one.
This is really off the wall, okay?
Well, I have one clip for second half of the show, too, so stay in the zone.
Well, why don't you go first?
Well, mine is just about the asteroid.
Oh.
Do I play it?
We just almost got killed.
And talk about a close encounter.
An asteroid barely missed Earth this week.
The space rock is named Asteroid 2019 OK. It whizzed past the Earth on Thursday at 54,000 miles per hour.
It's several hundred feet across, and it It came within 45,000 miles of Earth.
That's actually less than a fifth of the distance to the moon.
Scientists called the path uncomfortably close.
Astronomers had not been tracking 2019 OK, which made the flyby all the more surprising.
Now, not only you, but I think I heard her also say asteroid.
Asteroid?
Yeah, you said it again.
Sounds like asteroid.
Yeah, I said it again.
I know I said it again.
Asteroid.
You want me to say asteroid?
Asteroid, yeah.
I've always said asteroid.
Okay, well, that's fine.
Alright, I don't know if...
You may hate this, but you'll...
I probably will.
Okay, let's put on our Q glasses.
It's time once again.
And the whole thought behind the Q glasses is when we put them on, we see Q for what it is.
So you can't condemn us for believing in Q when we're wearing the Q glasses.
Do you have them nearby?
Oh, you know, hold on a second.
Alright, let me...
You got...
Uh...
Ah!
Ah, there you go.
Okay.
Yeah, we have the Q glasses on, ladies and gentlemen.
Perfect.
Are these mine?
They're kind of tight.
Do you remember...
The controversy over an email that supposedly would change the timeline, meaning that Donald Trump Jr.
had received the Hillary Clinton WikiLeaks emails and decryption key before WikiLeaks actually published them.
And it turned out that that was incorrect and CNN had to make this big mea culpa apology.
Do you remember this?
To be honest about it, no.
I have a clip just to bring you back up to speed.
We're actually correcting a story that we have been reporting throughout the day today about an email that was sent to the Trump campaign, to then-candidate Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and others during the heat of the campaign season.
This email was Included a decryption key and also a link to where they could access some of these hacked WikiLeaks documents from the Democratic National Committee.
Now, we've been reporting that this email came on September 4th.
That was before some of these documents were publicly available.
But we have just obtained a copy of this email.
And instead, we now learn that this email was on September 14th.
So that is 10 days later than what we originally reported earlier today.
And this is, Peterson has changed the understanding of this story because initially it seemed perhaps they were being offered access to documents that were not yet publicly available.
Now our initial reporting on that September 4th date was based on two sources who had seen this.
This email, but that information was incorrect now based on a copy of the email that we have obtained this afternoon.
But this email came on September 14th, not September 4th, as we said earlier.
I'm glad you stopped it because I don't know why you would do anything like that.
Because I am listening to it.
So they sent the B-stringers out to do the big apology because just before that they were like, Oh, we got him red-handed!
This is a smoking gun!
He knew about a collusion with WikiLeaks!
Do you kind of remember that?
Vaguely.
There was so much of that nonsense.
Well, you'll remember in a moment.
This was, as it turns out, an intelligence trap to find a leaker.
And this is what you do.
You send off incorrect information with separate pieces of information into the system.
And whatever poops out the other end, you've got your leaker.
Your hope.
Well...
Right after this apology, cascade of apology came out, President Trump tweeted the following.
Finally, little Adam Schiff, the Lincoln monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
But he spelled little L-I-D-D-L-E. You remember that.
Yes.
Yes.
Well, with our cue glasses on, we now know why.
Adam Schiff is an active participant of a non-profit charity called Little Kids.
Little Kids is the gold standard for pediatric touch therapy education.
What?
Yeah.
Look at the website, littlekids.org.
In fact, they do a lot of this touch therapy in Haiti, where we see pictures of little Adam Schiff with children romping around in Haiti.
Little Kids operates in California in the 28th District, which is Adam Schiff's district.
Keep those glasses on, John.
You're going to need them.
So what really was the president signaling here?
Was he saying you're a douchebag for having a non-profit or was he maybe calling this little kids organization into question?
For touch therapy.
I'm sure it's the gold standard.
I don't know.
I don't want any congressman touching my child.
Touch therapy.
I do.
You love that.
Oh, yeah.
So now we go back to 2009.
Interestingly, where we were, in a few terrifying moments in the early morning hours, it was actually Martin Luther King Jr.
Day, Martin Luther King Day.
There was what authorities initially thought was a terrorist attack launched in a downtown subway station.
Several people had been overcome by a cloud of noxious gas, causing two of them to begin vomiting, and officials were freaking out.
But they figured out where it came from.
Hazardous materials teams ultimately found that the toxic cloud was chlorine gas, or initially found the toxic cloud was chlorine gas emanating from a storm catch basin two blocks away.
The culprit, prosecutors alleged, was not some scary extremist group, but the owner of The Standard, a trendy downtown hotel with a reputation for celebrity sightings and a rooftop swimming hotel.
Hotel maintenance workers initially admitted, this is from the Los Angeles Times that I'm reading, admitted pouring a small amount of chlorine down a rooftop drain.
But investigators did not believe that would have accounted for the noxious cloud.
An FBI agent who specializes in environmental crimes conducted the follow-up interviews in which employees eventually acknowledged emptying the majority of two 50-gallon drums of muratic acid and chlorine into the drain.
Now, muratic acid is...
What can we do with muratic acid?
Well, it's hydrochloric acid.
It's used for cleaning cement.
Can you dissolve bodies in it?
It's not the best.
I think nitric acid would be better.
But when it mixes with chlorine, it definitely will produce chlorine gas.
With the Clorox.
If it has Clorox, it would produce chlorine gas.
So I don't know why you would pour two 50-gallon drums of this down the drain, but they did.
So here's what's interesting.
The Standard Hotel is owned by Andreas Belazas.
Boyfriend to several actresses, including, I think, Chelsea Handler.
Also boyfriend to spirit cooker Marina Abramowitz.
And...
Boyfriend to Ghislaine Maxwell.
There's our pedo connection.
The Standard Hotel, if you look at their website, thestandardhotel.com, I think it is.
And they have a number of ones.
This is the West Hollywood one.
They've got the...
Well, first of all, they have ping-pong tables.
It's always fun to bring that up in regards to anything...
Fiddling, you know, I don't know, touch therapy.
But they also have a picture of a guy with a big pedo bear head on in bed with a young woman.
It's very creepy looking.
So the standard WeHo location is in Adam Schiff's district.
And right around this time when Trump tweeted the little Adam Schiff quote, there was a helicopter accident.
The general manager of the West Hollywood Standard was on her way to, I think, the...
There's one on Catalina Island.
She'd been the general manager for 11 years.
Helicopter crashes, no mayday call, boom, gone.
So, QAnon's conclusion...
Point to a Schiff problem being solved with the muratic acid and potential witnesses of the crime being taken care of.
And this is the reason why Adam Schiff is so insane about removing Trump.
He may have committed some horrible acts that were covered up and taken care of for him.
And now he has to pay the bill.
Well, let's stop with the hydrochloric acid as being a good way to dissolve a body because it's not.
Man, not even a small body?
The best, you would use lye or sodium hydroxide or something that really is caustic.
In other words, just the opposite.
Hold on a second.
Let's take the glasses off because you're bumming me out in Q mode.
Hold on.
You know what?
Somebody must have spilled something on this.
It's sticky on the edges.
I know.
I felt it too.
I'm not completely buying it.
You would use the hydrochloric acid especially with the Clorox.
It might be useful as a cleanup to get rid of all traces of DNA. Oh, there you go.
Okay.
Something along those lines.
That would work.
It dissolves even a little body.
I mean, it would just be a mess.
It would be horrible.
Yeah.
And it would just not work.
It's just not a good way to go.
And I think if there's a mystery writer out there who listens to the show, they can probably know the details of this.
But, you know, you would use something else.
Well, there you go.
What they're doing with that acid.
I'm not sure.
Well, there you go.
It depends.
And also, we never heard the concentration of the acid.
Was it low concentration, like a cleaning flu?
Oh, this I don't know.
This I don't know.
I'm just reporting on the Q proofs from the Q drops.
It's a stretch.
I like the Schiff and the kids, though.
That's kind of interesting.
Well, also, Trump tweeting little.
Yeah, it's like he knows something.
That was signaling.
That makes the story interesting.
I never thought of Trump as a shift that way, but it's possible.
Look, it's creepy.
Well, he's a creepy guy.
Yep.
If you look around for pictures of him with these little kids...
I was listening to one of these podcasts where somebody's going off on the Epstein and they go into the Ted Heath, Jimmy Savile, and all the other stuff.
Yeah, connected.
And one of the things he points out, he says, you know, people, you know, there's nothing wrong with, you know, helping children being, you know, getting involved with the Boys and Girls Club or doing any of these things.
But when you're doing stuff, you're really hanging around a lot of little kids and you're not a kindergarten teacher.
Yeah.
You know, it might be something you might want to check the guy out a little more closely.
Yeah.
So...
Yes.
Oh, it was David Icke.
Oh, it was Icke.
Well, the connection...
And by the way, just to remind everybody, I know it sounds unbelievable.
Could we really have a ring of pedophiles in America, elites in government and Hollywood?
And I say, I don't know.
We had priests who were molesting thousands of children.
We had Jimmy Savile who had proven to have done the same.
Maxine...
Ghislaine Maxwell...
Also, did a lot of work for the BBC Children's Programming Department with Jimmy Savile.
So, you know, I'm sure that all the Hollywood elites are always hanging out across continents, but the coincidences get a little weird.
Yeah, I don't like guilt by association, and I mention when I see it, I don't like it because you're throwing too many people in the pot.
I know.
And that's one of the ways you do the smoke screen to protect yourself.
You put a bunch of other people into the smoke screen and they can be easily disproven.
They got nothing to do with anything.
And so I'm always looking on the lookout for that.
But there are too many people that are involved in some of these things, whether it's a I mean, it's like the necrophiliac clubs in New York that used to exist.
The back doors and the mortuaries, they're out there.
I'm sure there's still people that do that.
According to David Icke in this really very recent interview where he calls out everybody, he is getting really bold about it.
He says that Jimmy Savile was a necrophiliac.
Yes.
Well, I remember many reports.
I think we talked about it.
He would be left alone in the morgue for hours on end.
Damn, people are sick.
That guy, jeez.
And then he died.
Oh, gee.
Funny how that works.
Alright, do you have something upbeat to get us out of here?
I got some stuff.
Give me something upbeat.
Give me a beat.
Upbeat.
Well, I got a couple of things.
Well, yeah, I got one.
I got a real good one, too.
I may have two clips left.
All right.
First of all, yeah, I do have two clips because I have to get this out of the way.
We got to play, at least get, this is not an upbeat, but it's a good story.
This is a short version of a long story about the, Hong Kong is really out of control now.
Oh, yes.
Let's catch up with that, with the Hong Kong.
Rage and chaos in Hong Kong hit its highest peak yet.
Police Saturday night stormed the subway station in the Yuen Long neighborhood, hitting people with batons and arresting protesters who refused to leave.
It was the worst violence this city has seen since June and came after thousands of protesters again squared off against police for hours.
Protesters blocked roads and threw bricks, bottles, and umbrellas.
Police fired back with round after round of tear gas and rubber bullets.
But this time, protesters wouldn't budge.
They were better prepared and ready to fight.
Right now, the protesters are trying to push back the riot police, and it looks like they're succeeding.
Just in the past minute or so, the riot police were throwing the first rounds of tear gas.
We ourselves were sprayed, but now it's only angered the crowd even more.
They're angry after a mob of men last weekend brutally attacked protesters and innocent bystanders in this town's subway.
The men are believed to be members of organized crime gangs, and it took police roughly 40 minutes to respond.
We want to demonstrate war justice.
Furious protesters today tried to take the fight back to the neighborhoods where the gangs are from, but were repelled repeatedly by police.
This is the worst chaos we've seen on Hong Kong streets.
It's gotten worse every single week.
The fear is that if this continues to escalate, the People's Liberation Army will step in.
I like the talking through the gas mask bit.
That's kind of cool.
That's new.
I didn't like it.
We should have miked him in the gas mask.
I like it because we can replicate that, John, when we're doing our own reports.
Yeah, that's true.
Now, I do have the clip to leave, which is this one.
Now, there's a guy, and I don't like to fat shame or do any of these kinds of critical things, and now when somebody has just a silly voice, and he's on network TV doing reporting, and he sounds somewhere in between, I don't know if I can describe it, he sounds a little like somewhere between comic book guy in The Simpsons, the Jerry Lewis professor character on The Simpsons, and Sylvester the Cat.
And then they give him a story with all the wordage in the story designed to kind of promote his silly voice.
And this is on NBC, and it's the bison who hits the little girl story done by Steve.
I don't know if they ever give his last name, but Steve.
He's the fabulous Steve, the way I call him.
I'm going to look for him in the future.
I enjoyed this to no end.
And so, because I saw the video of this, some idiot parents with their young child are walking near a, what is it, 5,000 pound bison?
5,000 pound full grown male bison.
Yeah, let's go over there and pet him.
The bison starts charging.
The parents run, drop the kid.
Yeah, the little girl behind, they get almost killed.
She gets launched by this bison, you know, at least 15, 20 feet in the air.
And apparently she was okay.
Yes, that's...
I hate it when they say that up front.
I don't want to know if the kid's okay until afterwards.
I want the suspense to...
Don't worry, the child wasn't really hurt in this video.
No, I want to think the kid got, you know, gored and died and then make me happy.
But okay, I'm not producing network news.
What's family's awe-inspiring encounter turned to horror in a matter of seconds?
of bull bison.
Then suddenly it charges, plowing into a nine-year-old girl, launching her several feet into the air.
The shocking video taken close to Yellowstone's famous old faithful geyser, where wild bison graze in clusters.
Bison can be aggressive.
They can move quickly and they can get bothered in a moment's notice.
The girl rushed to a nearby clinic.
Rangers say the child is lucky she was not seriously injured.
Although bison attacks in Yellowstone are rare, it's not the first time tourists have gotten too close.
Rangers say stay at least 75 feet away from animals like bison or moose and more than 300 feet from bears or wolves.
They're wild animals and they're huge.
They can kill you.
According to park officials, 50 people were standing just feet from the bison before it started charging.
Getting close to wildlife is not a smart idea.
And I know everybody likes to get that selfie.
They like to get that great photo.
But safety needs to come first.
Park officials have so far decided not to issue citations to the girls' family.
And as of now, the incident remains under investigation.
Lester?
All right, Steve.
Hopefully lesson learned.
Thanks.
Huh!
He has a, yet again, network news with speech impediment.
It's his S. If you listen to that clip closely, I think he's putting that voice on.
I think it's just an S problem.
You really think he's putting that on?
Because he drops out of, he's got a certain sound and timbre to his voice.
And it rings a certain way.
And then he comes out of it and he sounds very normal.
And everything kind of changes too much.
I think, I could be wrong, but I think he did that as kind of a goof.
Doing that voice, and I don't know, there's something suspicious about it, because for one thing, the guy's way out of control with that voice, for a network, NBC network nightly news.
And it just sounds, if you listen carefully, I've listened to it a number of times, I think he may be not, I think he may be goofing on somebody.
I'm not sure who or why.
Well, I think it's the problem.
Best podcast in the universe.
It's Borderlands.
The best is a cat.
And that wraps up your deconstruction for today, everybody.
We got Nick the Rat coming up next with episode 188 from the sewers on the noagendastream.com where you can find all that.
And end of show mixes.
We have the full Felix Wilson donation with the session of our donation spot.
We got Gallup with Phelan Oates.
We got...
What do we got?
We got some Hack and Hillary...
And I don't know who did that one.
We always appreciate all the work our end-of-show mixers do, and we appreciate everybody supporting our program.
Go to Dvorak.org slash NA. And coming to you from the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state, FEMA region number six on the governmental maps.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Thursday, the second one of the week.
Please support us, dvorak.org.
Until then, adios mofos and such.
We must do it in 18 months or it's too late.
Daddy, why are you laughing?
They said we had 12 more years to fix climate change.
Now they told us we've only got 18 months.
Daddy, there won't be a No Agenda podcast in 18 days unless you donate now.
You don't want me to grow up with a swollen amygdala in a world with no goat karma, do you, Daddy?
My name is Felix Wilson.
John and Adam are looking for an exit strategy.
If you don't do something now, it will reach a tipping point.
They'll find something else to do and there will be no more show.
Without no agenda, our amygdalas will be left as well.
