	Well, that guy got him to shut up.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, September 22nd, 2019, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 1175.
	This is No Agenda.
	No.
	Preparing for the new communism and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33, the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone, Star State.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we watch the score run up to 67 to 63 and compare it to a soccer score of 1-0 and ask, which is more interesting?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	I think you asked a question, but I fell asleep.
	It was so long.
	What was the question again?
	Is it more interesting to watch a soccer game where the score is 1-0 as opposed to a football game that goes 67-63?
	Was there a game that I was supposed to watch?
	Who knew?
	I didn't know there was any game on.
	Yeah, on Saturday they have a number of these games.
	The college teams.
	You have a college team near your house.
	Yes, I know we do.
	They haven't been too great, have they?
	They're in the middle of town, too.
	It's not exactly the middle of town.
	You don't think the Texas campus is the middle of town?
	No.
	Downtown is the middle of town.
	Okay, well, you're...
	In any other berg, it would be considered...
	Pretty close to downtown.
	Well, that's great.
	You sound like a very old white American guy who just does not understand soccer.
	I understand soccer.
	I've been to the great soccer stadiums in Brazil.
	No, that doesn't mean that you understand it, otherwise you wouldn't talk like this.
	Well, maybe.
	You might be right.
	Maybe you're onto something.
	Yeah, that's okay.
	I don't condemn you, but there's no reason to be so hateful.
	We're going to have a very important soccer stadium here in Austin.
	You have this big, giant Texas complex.
	Why don't you just use that?
	Again, it's like all you can be is just negative about sports in Austin and football and soccer.
	So where's this soccer stadium going up?
	Wherever affordable housing was supposed to be.
	That's usually where we like to put our soccer stadiums.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	I'm glad they're doing something for the homeless.
	Yeah, well, we can talk about that later.
	I do have some updates on the homeless, but it's too depressing to start with.
	Let's start with the Green New Deal and the Climate March.
	Oh, the Climate March.
	I do think I have a summary clip.
	Well, actually, there was two things.
	We had the school strike.
	Oh, strike, strike.
	Yes, the school strike led, of course, by...
	That's the official...
	No, this is how Amy pronounces it.
	I'm keeping it to the pros.
	That's how she pronounces it.
	And they were very unoriginal.
	This is pretty much the whole march, and it wasn't hundreds of thousands, it was tens of thousands in New York, so it was kind of...
	I don't know if it was any good for what it did, but this is all that I heard.
	That's all they got.
	It's another blah, blah, hey, hey, ho, ho, fill in the blank has got to go.
	I couldn't understand it.
	I heard the hey, hey, ho, ho.
	This is pretty hard to miss, but what had to go?
	Climate change.
	Climate change has got to go?
	Yes.
	Climate change has got to go.
	I know.
	Not CO2, not oil, not gas.
	No, climate change.
	Yes, I'm on board with this.
	This bullcrap climate change has got to go.
	I agree with them there.
	Jeez.
	Hey, hey, ho, ho, our chant writers have got to go.
	We've got to get better ones in there.
	And the whole thing was odd.
	Greta spoke before the General Assembly, the United Nations General Assembly, and reading from a piece of paper, she said this.
	I have not come to offer any prepared remarks at this hearing.
	She reads from her paper.
	I'm instead attaching my testimony.
	It is the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius, the SR 1.5, which was released on October 8th, 2018.
	I am submitting this report as my testimony because I don't want you to listen to me.
	I want you to listen to the scientists.
	And I want you to unite behind the science.
	And then I want you to take real action.
	Thank you.
	What a jip!
	She sailed all the way from Europe to come to New York.
	And this is 45 seconds is all we get of...
	And then she submits the...
	Did anyone note to her that they already have this report?
	I hope so.
	She's resubmitting it.
	Yes, she is resubmitting it.
	Well, the contrast to that is Alan Jones in Australia.
	Oh, no.
	Here we go again.
	Yes, you can thank one of our friends in Australia for this clip.
	Yeah, we have a menu.
	This is Alan Jones.
	Reason, apparently somebody sent this nasty note into him about how these kids should grow up, and he decides to read it in his inimitable fashion.
	Prompt of this piece that someone sent to me.
	I thought I'd share it with you.
	It's called Growing Up.
	Few commentaries on this global warming hoax have had greater relevance than this.
	I think I might send it to Al Gore, and it says this.
	To all the school kids going on strike for climate change, You're the first generation who've required air conditioning in every classroom.
	You're on TV in every room and your classes are all computerised.
	You spend all day and night on electronic devices.
	More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school, but you arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.
	You're the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever, and update perfectly good, expensive luxury items to stay trendy.
	Your entertainment comes from electric devices.
	Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on actually inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.
	The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear.
	The more of the environment that's destroyed.
	How about this?
	Tell your teachers to switch off the aircon.
	Walk or ride to school.
	Switch off your devices and read a book.
	Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food.
	No, none of this will happen because, the piece says, you're selfish, badly educated, virtue-signalling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a noble cause while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.
	The piece ends by saying, wake up, grow up and shut up until you're sure of the facts before protesting.
	As an old white male, I applaud this talk.
	Yeah, the kids, instead of lame-ass chants, how about turn off your iPhones for a day?
	You know, don't charge them for a week.
	Go clean up something on the street.
	Do something.
	I think it was a bust.
	I think the whole thing was a bust.
	And then, to make matters worse, they had the We Are The People march the next day.
	Which made it very confusing.
	What are we supposed to focus on?
	Who are these people?
	What is this crowd?
	Did you see any of the We Are The People march?
	No, none.
	None whatsoever.
	This is...
	Well, they were out there for sure.
	Well, they lost the competition if there was one for Mindshare.
	Well, I looked into this We Are the People March.
	It's not the first time they've done it.
	It's basically We Hate Trump.
	They could have called it We Hate Trump March, but they call it We Are the People March.
	And these are some rookies, but there's some big names behind it.
	First of all, WeAreThePeopleMarch2019.org.
	That's their website.
	Rookies...
	You should try wearethepeoplemarch2019.com because that now goes to noagendashow.com.
	And I did them the favor of registering wearethepeoplemarch2020.org so I'll be ready for them next year.
	What a bunch of morons.
	If you're going to do some kind of campaign, register your domain names, people.
	Well, yeah, and you have to do an advance for the next 20 years.
	That's why you don't want to put that year in the domain name.
	It's always a mistake, unless you've got nothing but time on your hands to get all these domains.
	Yeah, which I have some time.
	Whenever I see stuff like that, I'm like, let me just check and see if the.com is available.
	Okay, snag.
	Wait a minute.
	So the.com was available and they used the.org because they wanted to sound like an organization.
	Yeah, so I got the.com and.org for 2020.
	They can talk to me.
	A donation to the show might help.
	Yeah, it might.
	I don't want to be a blackmailer or hold anything hostage.
	So there were professional signs, and the professional signs pointed to revcom.us.
	Revcom.
	Revcom.
	That one's got me buffaloed.
	Welcome to the revolution.
	This march was sponsored by the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA. Ah, well no wonder nobody played it up.
	And who is the brain force behind this?
	Soros.
	No.
	Although he may be in there somewhere.
	Bob Avakian.
	Does this name ring a bell to you?
	He sounds familiar.
	It sounds awfully familiar.
	Yeah.
	Bob Avakian, also known as BA. That's how they come.
	He is the chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party of the USA. He's been around for a while.
	He was born in 43.
	Let me see.
	He was the guy behind the New Left, New Communism.
	Born in D.C., grew up in Berkeley.
	He was involved with the Students for Democratic Society, the Free Speech Movement.
	I think you were around those parts at that time.
	And the Black Panther Party, the Peace and Freedom Party, the Revolutionary Youth Movement, the Weathermen.
	Oh yeah, he's one of those guys who attaches himself to all these things.
	He has zero to do with the free speech movement.
	I'm sure he had nothing to do with it.
	But boy, these people over at the new Communist Party, they really love him.
	And he has his six resolutions of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA. It's really quite interesting that they really think communism is the answer.
	I know.
	Let me see if I can read.
	These six resolutions, it's in the show notes.
	You can go take a look at it if you want.
	BA, as they say, that's just how they call them.
	They don't even call them Bobs.
	BA is greater than the party.
	This character of greater than is the principal aspect of the relationship.
	We have emphasized the leadership of BA and the new synthesis of communism that he has brought forward provides a theoretical framework, the scientific method, and the approach for a whole new stage of communist revolution.
	So their thing is somehow they will use science to show that communism is the way to go.
	And they don't really explain that anywhere that I could find, but I did find an interview, actually it was a conversation on stage between Bob Avakian and Cornel West to kind of give you an idea of what these guys are all about.
	And this is from 2016.
	I don't know if it was just before the election or if it was after, but the people in the audience, communists or new communists, scientific communists perhaps, are asking, well, what do we do about voting?
	Voting basically doesn't work.
	Voting is not the way to go in a society.
	And we'll just listen to a little bit of that so you get an idea of why you don't need to go to these marches.
	In response to voting, is there no value in working to abolish a system while participating to minimize the immediate damage it does at the same time?
	And then someone else asked, if we avoid voting because no candidate represents the left, how can we also avoid enabling the rise of the worst of the right?
	I think it was Emma Goldman who used to say, if voting would lead toward fundamental transformation, it would be illegal.
	So we're not against reform.
	We fight for reform.
	We just don't...
	We're not seduced by the illusions of reform.
	That's all.
	Is that a characterization of what you were talking about?
	Yeah, but I think there's another...
	Yes, but I also think there's another point here, which is...
	The logic of voting forgets one very basic fact, that in any kind of profound social change that's come about, it didn't come about by people playing by the rules and going along with the way things are.
	It went by people stepping outside of the way things are Yeah.
	mind you, this is when Donald Trump was going outside of all the rules and stepping on everything.
	And they're triggered by it, but are advocating for the exact same thing.
	That's a good point.
	And by the way, before you continue, that kind of, that overall, that's the vacuum guy with the squeaky voice, I guess.
	Probably had a vasectomy early on.
	He does look rather boyish for his age.
	This is kind of the stuff that you would get in some sort of left-leaning high school civics class.
	I mean, this is so...
	It's simplistic and stupid.
	It's just that the fact that people will listen to it is beyond me.
	Well, I'm going to pain you for another 50 seconds.
	...of the way things are and refusing to go along with the rules.
	If you think about, for example, even some of the gains of the civil rights movement, the way things were in the South was it wasn't just something people, you know, white people didn't want.
	That black people could go to a restaurant.
	It was against the law.
	That's right.
	The law said that you had to have segregation.
	So if you were going to change that, you couldn't say, we have to abide by the law.
	You have to say, this law is an unjust law.
	We have to step outside and oppose that.
	And if you think about any kind of basic change that's been brought about, it's always happened.
	See, people say, you know, For example, now, I've got to call his name, Michael Eric Dyson, in the last presidential election, said, well, you know, if you don't vote, then you aren't in the game.
	The championship is the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat.
	If you don't support one of those two teams, then you're not involved.
	You don't have a dog in the fight.
	Actually, it's not that much different from what I hear Republicans saying.
	Or we've said, hey, we don't just have two parties.
	But these guys just say, you're not going to vote.
	We can't vote.
	It's got to be revolution, fire, bombs, whatever.
	No voting, we're not going to vote.
	Then why does the guy throw out a bunch of sports cliches at us?
	He's a total douche.
	Total douche.
	But anyway, people got out there.
	I don't even think they know what they're marching for.
	They just hate Trump.
	Yeah, I'll march with the commies.
	Yeah, really?
	Yeah, and you know, the thing is, I understand...
	Because I read a lot of this.
	I'm very interested why people follow, you know, six resolutions of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Communist Party.
	I'm interested in these things.
	And, you know, but why...
	The younger generation has been convinced that healthcare, which really is healthcare insurance, is a human right.
	Housing is a human right.
	A job is a human right.
	They just want what their rights are and be damned how it works.
	Just, I need my job.
	I need my health care.
	I need my food.
	And then, you know, when you wake up one day, you're in the same box as your neighbor, doing the same dreary job as your neighbor, eating the same brown food as your neighbor.
	Maybe you'll change your mind, but it's going to be too late by then.
	And it kind of folds into that utopian world, you know, that Alan Jones was talking about.
	Hey, kids, shut up.
	You're the biggest users of capitalist stuff.
	I barely even want to buy a new car anymore.
	Just give me an old junker.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's us.
	Yeah, well, that is us.
	I learned that by watching you, okay?
	That's where I learned that old car stuff is better, for sure.
	It is.
	Anyway, still something to keep an eye on.
	The thing is, I'm going to give a car buying tip just out of the blue here.
	Oh, okay, good.
	For people who want to buy a good used car.
	First of all, don't be in a hurry.
	Never be in a hurry.
	In other words, put your sights on the car you want.
	I want one of these.
	And then just wait it out.
	And it doesn't matter how long you wait.
	You're going to find some nutball or borderline nutball or somebody that has too much money and He has a bunch of cars.
	He never drives.
	And you're going to find a brand new, close to new version of what you wanted if you just wait it out because there's always some guy.
	Or you'll find some guy who's like a neat freak.
	That's what you really want.
	And he sells you a car.
	The car looks like it just came off the showroom floor and is eight years old.
	I haven't seen many of those, but okay.
	Oh, yeah.
	If Jay Leno's your neighbor, maybe.
	They're out there.
	Is that how you got your Lexus 26 years ago?
	Well, no, but I've gotten other cars since that have been following that procedure, and it's just like, this car's brand new.
	How many miles do you drive?
	Wait it out.
	How many miles do you drive a year?
	I don't drive that many.
	Me neither.
	I was just curious.
	Generally speaking, unless I have a job, which I only partake in such things about once every decade.
	It only has a learning experience.
	Generally speaking, about 15,000 miles a year.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	You know that truck that I have?
	Three years, 11,000 miles.
	Three years.
	I'm the guy you want to buy the truck from.
	Yeah.
	In fact, I saw that truck.
	Yeah, it looks good, doesn't it?
	And you are a neat freak, even though you're in denial.
	That car, if whoever buys that car from you, if you haven't sold it already, is going to get a beautiful product.
	Yes.
	You're like a target.
	They're surrounding me.
	They're ready for me.
	Exactly.
	Okay, so that was Thursday and Friday.
	What else?
	There's some other things going on.
	We got this new whistleblower, kind of, not really.
	Well, the whistleblower thing is funny because this is the holy grail for the Democrats.
	They're all convinced...
	That it's unbelievable how important this is.
	I got a couple of clips here.
	Okay.
	Let's go to...
	You got to find someone who can explain it to you.
	I mean, I can run over it pretty easily.
	Can I give it a stab?
	Because I think I've got it down to it.
	Why don't you do it?
	Because I got the clips.
	Okay.
	So here's what I think happened.
	The way I understand it, the Ukraine was trying to, the new Ukrainian government, which is apparently the comedian guy who's nice.
	The comedian's running it.
	The comedian's running the show, so he wants to talk to his colleagues.
	No one wants to mention that, by the way.
	No, he wants to talk to his colleague, the comedian in Washington, in the White House.
	And he's getting nowhere.
	He can't get through.
	And the State Department, which probably has many shills left over from the previous administration, they're holding it back.
	Because the new Ukrainian government wants to tell us, hey man, you got some corrupt people doing some stuff over here.
	Which I think we kind of remember if you hear this.
	You know, Victoria Nuland, you know, just putting the new government in place.
	And then there's the thing with Joe, which we'll get to.
	But they wanted to communicate something.
	It didn't get through.
	There was no response from the U.S. So the comedian president in Ukraine is thinking, oh man, why do they hate us?
	Are they mad?
	I can't have this.
	And so they broker a deal where they send a lawyer...
	And the State Department asked Giuliani, of course, friends with our comedian, to go exchange some jokes somewhere on neutral territory in Paris.
	And that's when Giuliani finds out, oh man, hold on a second.
	So they were investigating that Hunter Biden story.
	Good on you.
	And then that just continued somehow.
	And this is the part where I think it may have been, it would be beautiful if it was a setup from our comedian to let this through to a number of people.
	You always want to find the leaker.
	And then that leaker goes, wah!
	Well, he's trying to influence elections again!
	He's doing it again!
	And, of course, it turns out this person didn't actually hear anything firsthand, and then to save face or whatever, I'm a whistleblower!
	I have protection!
	Or something like that.
	And the whole thing is hilarious because, ultimately, it sounds like Joe Biden threatened the Ukrainian government pre-comedian days, Hey, get this prosecutor off my son's case, otherwise I'm not going to let this billion dollars come through to you that we had in loan guarantees.
	How did I do?
	Well, that's better than I would have done, and I'm glad you took it.
	I think that analysis, which is not standard...
	It's quite good.
	It's not something you hear on the mainstream.
	Yeah, but I think that's more or less what happened.
	It's very...
	What you said, if you took it just verbatim, I think it would...
	It may be actually what happened exactly.
	Okay.
	But anyway, so with the result of it, though, let me give you the reinterpretation of it.
	Yes, because this is the best part.
	So Trump decides to get on the phone...
	And he's trying to queer the Joe Biden candidacy.
	And by the way, this may also be, if you're going to use your thesis, this may also be a methodology to give Joe Biden more strength so he does get picked.
	Oh, that's a good point.
	Yeah.
	So let's just go after Joe, because going after Joe early, the Democrats are, oh, you've got to get Joe in there.
	Right.
	So...
	He supposedly gets on the phone call with a bunch of people, because there's a bunch of people in the room all the time when he's on a phone call like this, and there's people listening in, there's NSA, everybody's on the, people on the line, everyone's there.
	And so there's a whole slew of people, and he says to the guy, hey, to the comic or who, hey, I want you to look into this Joe Biden's son.
	This guy is a criminal, we think.
	And he's doing some deals over there that look like they need looking into.
	And if you do that, we're going to be very generous with our foreign aid.
	No, of course.
	And that's it.
	And that's what the whistleblower revealed.
	Wait a minute.
	Is that something akin to the open mic situation where President Obama said to Medvedev, Hey, tell Vlad after the election, I have a lot more flexibility.
	Is that kind of the same thing?
	It's exactly the same thing from that perspective that you're coming from.
	Now, so we can assume that none of this is true, but they're using my favorite thing.
	Let's listen to a couple and read between the lines.
	I want you to read between the lines on this one.
	This is Shields.
	Shields comes up because they're going to go right to him.
	And so this is Shields.
	They're talking about Brooks and Shields, the two Democrats who supposedly reflect the two sides of an argument, but they're both in agreement on everything.
	On the PBS NewsHour, which has been taken over by the Democrat Party ever since Gwen Ifill left.
	Left the planet.
	Sorry.
	But anyway, Shields on Whistleblower.
	Now, see if you can pick up the subtext in this.
	Clip, which I think is profound.
	Person is alleging that he knows that the president, in a conversation with, now we think it's the president of Ukraine, urged the president of Ukraine, Mark, to investigate Joe Biden's son.
	And we have a...
	There's still no...
	The president denies it, and others do.
	But now we have several news outlets backing up the story.
	And I was just handed, and you've seen it, a statement by Joe Biden.
	He says, if these reports are true, there's truly no bottom to President Trump's willingness to abuse his power and abuse our country.
	This behavior is particularly abhorrent because it exploits the foreign policy of our country and undermines our...
	Our national security for political purposes.
	How seriously should we be taking these allegations?
	I think they're enormously serious.
	And the fact that the Wall Street Journal is leading this story along with the New York Times, the Washington Post.
	But this is not false news or fake news or anything of the sort.
	It's not a political vendetta of any sort.
	Wait a minute.
	There was a lot there that he said that was confusing.
	Was the Washington Post on it?
	What was he saying about that?
	Or does it have nothing to do with the subtext?
	No, that was the subtext.
	The subtext is the following.
	And I want you to play the clip again.
	It's short enough.
	Wall Street Journal is leading the way.
	So this isn't the Washington Post or the New York Times who are full of crap, he's saying in his subtext, who are full of crap and have a political vendetta.
	No, it's not those papers.
	No, no.
	It's the Washington – it's the New York Times.
	It's the Wall Street Journal.
	I'm just confusing myself.
	The Wall Street Journal, they're okay.
	They're not a bunch of douchebags like the New York Times and the Washington Post.
	That's what he's saying.
	You're right.
	Let's hear it again.
	For political purposes, how seriously should we be taking these allegations?
	I think they're enormously serious.
	And the fact that the Wall Street Journal is leading this story along with the New York Times, the Washington Post.
	But this is not false news or fake news or anything of the sort.
	It's not a political vendetta of any sort.
	I think that's a keeper of this clip.
	We should keep that around.
	That's a good one.
	You know what?
	I'm going to give you a clip of the day for that because that's a good catch.
	That's worth it.
	That's worth it.
	That is the essence of what No Agenda is about.
	Catch these people.
	Just tell them the truth.
	It always wants to slip out, doesn't it?
	So he goes on here.
	This is part two.
	This is a short little clip.
	He continues a little bit with his thinking.
	This is really serious.
	This is totally exploiting the national security, putting at risk the national security of the United States for narrow political personal interests.
	How is it putting the national security at risk?
	If, in fact, the reports are true.
	And I guess the most disturbing thing to me, Judy, was the president accused the whistleblower, who, at enormous risk and required considerable courage, of being an extreme...
	Bullshit!
	Let's just talk about, from what I understand, this whistleblower is not really a whistleblower, didn't do anything under whistleblower protections, but once it turned out that the leaker was identified, and that probably came through the Wall Street Journal, then the leaker goes to, of all things, the Department of Justice and says, I'm a whistleblower, but that's not how it works.
	You're supposed to go to the Inspector General.
	There's a whole path for that.
	And yes, we have good things in place, reasonably good procedures in place for whistleblowers.
	But that's someone who messed it up big time.
	Something went very wrong with this leaking.
	So now I want to point out what seems to be, I wouldn't call it a meme, but a word you're going to start hearing.
	Because it's just to try to get you in the mood.
	This is a mood word.
	I consider it a mood word.
	You might be able to pick it up on the S. Brooks response.
	This is Brooks coming with his supposedly, you know, we have these two guys who are supposed to be arguing with each other and one's supposed to take this side, you know, one side and the other takes the other side.
	They can't do it.
	They can't bring themselves to do it.
	So they're in total agreement constantly.
	Because they're both a bunch of Democrat lackeys.
	And so here we go.
	Here's Brooks' response.
	See if you can pick up this one word.
	The people in the White House were making fun of all this.
	Are we looking at something where it's going to be a he said, he said situation going forward?
	Well, presumably the call was listened to by others and recorded.
	So, you know, I'm not sure it was recorded, but it was certainly listened to.
	These calls are not just a one-on-one call.
	There's people online.
	You know, I think it is pretty grave.
	Most presidents go into the White House thinking, I'm here to serve the office.
	I'm here to serve America.
	Donald Trump is using America to serve him.
	Grave.
	I like the word grave.
	Yeah, and that's it too, because Shields also used the word I have, just a short clip of him using the same exact word to describe the situation as grave.
	Oh, it's grave.
	I think it's enormously grave.
	No, so they're not even in agreement they're using the same script.
	Yes, the same script.
	So I think we're going to start seeing the word grave.
	Because grave is, you know, if you think about it from a public relations perspective, it's a great word to start throwing in there.
	Because for one thing, it's the word grave is, you know, the first thing to think about is a tombstone.
	This is the end of Trump.
	Grave.
	It's done.
	It's a grave situation.
	So I think they're going to start using this word to try to get us to think that way.
	And in fact...
	Shields is already introducing the impeachment thing, and this is the last eight-second clip, and this is how he finished his little spiel.
	If it's true, Judy, then I don't see how the Democrats can back off on impeachment.
	Yeah, that's obvious, because AOC, whose nickname is Sandy, by the way, I think we should start calling her Sandy.
	Sandy?
	Yes, in high school.
	Sandy, like the little squirrel on Spongebob?
	More like, well, when I hear Sandy, people of my age, why you think of Spongebob, I think of Grease.
	But okay, Sandy, yes, Sandy.
	That's what she was in high school.
	Sandy.
	Sandy was a very popular name when I was in school.
	And throughout, obviously, kids stayed, you know...
	Grammar school and high school, because the girls were always the same age.
	And as I, because as I got older, they did.
	So the Sandy, but so Sandy is a, and I think Sandy is a type.
	Totally.
	Linda's a type.
	Sandy does not conjure up AOC in my mind's eye.
	Exactly.
	She conjures up a blonde surfer girl.
	Mm-hmm.
	Maybe over the hill.
	Maybe a little too much sun because skin's kind of leathery.
	A little leathery.
	Yeah, a little leathery because she's been too much sun.
	She doesn't even know.
	She's a sun worshiper named Sandy.
	She keeps her hair dyed bleach blonde, makes sure there's no gray in there.
	Her nails are perfect.
	Nice nails, and she puts on a hell of a party and knows how to set a table.
	We're going to die, you and I. People are going to kill us.
	The end of us.
	Can't be talking like that.
	Just saying, Sandy.
	I don't know, do we have any Sandys that listen to the show?
	They can write in and tell us if we're right.
	Yeah, send pictures.
	Send pictures.
	So Sandy, Sandy tweets out, Sandy, says, at this point, the bigger national scandal isn't the president's law-breaking behavior.
	It's the Democratic Party's refusal to impeach him.
	You can tell that she lost her brain from the guy who left.
	Oh no, that guy, when she...
	She's dead in the water.
	Yeah, she's dead in the water.
	She's got nothing.
	And especially with Ilhan Omar lying real low these days.
	Of course, she's in some trouble.
	So the squad is kind of headless.
	But yeah, but this is the thing.
	And a lot of it was based off of Rudy.
	People lost their crap over Rudy Giuliani on the Cuomo Kid Show with his giant head next to everybody else.
	It's a short clip, but it's just like, whoa, okay.
	So yeah, it sounds like exactly as I explained it went down.
	Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden?
	No, actually I didn't.
	I asked the Ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was interference in the election of 2016 by the Ukrainians for the benefit of Hillary Clinton, for which there already is a court finding.
	You never asked anything about Hunter Biden?
	This, by the way, is kind of, even I glossed over it.
	That was part of their message, was to say, hey, there was some stuff going on here and you guys need to know about it.
	You know who's from Ukraine?
	The founders of CrowdStrike.
	You know, the guys who got the DNC server, not the FBI. So, you know, there's stuff going on there.
	Ukraine is not in a vacuum on its own.
	For the benefit of Hillary Clinton, for which there already is a court finding...
	You never asked anything about Hunter Biden.
	You never asked anything about Joe Biden.
	The only thing I asked about Joe Biden is to get to the bottom of how it was that Lutsenko, who was appointed, dismissed the case against...
	So you did ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden.
	Of course I did.
	You just said you didn't.
	No, I didn't ask him to look into Joe Biden.
	I asked him to look into the allegations that are related to my client, which tangentially involved Joe Biden in a massive bribery scheme.
	So, you know, Cuomo kid's head explodes over that.
	But Joe Biden was very clear about exactly what happened.
	Some of you have seen this.
	Some of you haven't.
	But this is the No Agenda show.
	We like rolling out whatever evidence we have.
	And this was just a regular one of those Aspen sessions, you know, where, you know, you can ask whatever you want.
	And it's a small...
	A captive audience, and they always video it, and most people don't watch it because it's boring.
	But here's Joe telling you exactly how it happened, with the usual Joe flair.
	And so I got in Ukraine, and I remember going over convincing our team, He says, so I got Ukraine.
	You know what that sounds like?
	I was assigned Ukraine.
	I had to do the dirty work over there.
	Isn't this like a gang?
	Yeah, I got Ukraine.
	You got, yeah.
	I got Russia.
	I got Ukraine.
	Okay, well, you got Ukraine, so you go over there, and you got Russia.
	You go over there.
	Hey, Joe, don't your kid have something in Ukraine?
	All right, you're on point on Ukraine.
	Go, Joe.
	And so I got Ukraine, and...
	I remember going over convincing our team, our brothers, to convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
	And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
	And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against a state prosecutor, and they didn't.
	So they said they were walking out to the press conference and said, no, I said, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
	They said, you have no authority.
	You're not the president.
	The president said, I said, call him.
	That's right, bitches.
	I said, you're not getting the billion dollars.
	I said, you're not getting the billion.
	I'm going to be leaving here, and I think it was, what, six hours?
	I looked, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.
	If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
	Oh, son of a bitch.
	Got fired.
	And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
	Notice he says, at the time, because it's not quite as rosy as Joe would like it, this cover-up.
	They put in place someone who was solid at the time.
	So they made some genuine, substantial changes institutionally and with people.
	But...
	In one of the three institutions, there's now some backsliding.
	The courts are there.
	And they had made that commitment that they wouldn't do that.
	And so when we left, the first thing I spent...
	A lot of time, as did Mike, because this was his territory as well, and people like Charlie Cupchin and Victoria.
	Anyway, there were a lot of good people we had working on this.
	Yeah, Victoria, who said, fuck the EU. Jat Swanson, they'll do whatever we tell them.
	Come on, Joe's coming in.
	We're getting cover from Joe.
	Well, we played it all.
	All the phone calls.
	And, you know...
	I don't even really mind that much.
	I mean, Jared Kushner's all over the world cutting deals.
	And yeah, of course Trump's going to have hotels in Iran and North Korea.
	It doesn't bother me that much.
	Yes, this is pretty obvious at this point.
	I mean, if you really want to talk about some bull crap, then go after this Win Red operation that Jared Kushner's a part of, who text me twice a day asking for $100 for the president.
	And they got quite an operation going.
	Really amazing.
	And skimming 8% off the top.
	Of course!
	Son of a bitch.
	Son of a Biden.
	That's what it is.
	Son of a Biden.
	That should be the new swear word.
	Son of a Biden.
	So, Joe's in trouble with that, though.
	Because that sounds completely like the prosecutor was being nasty around his kid, and he got him fired.
	Yeah.
	That's what it sounds like.
	Yeah, but don't...
	But, oh, just don't pay attention.
	It's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	Trump.
	Let's get him impeached.
	Gosh, gosh, golly.
	Yeah.
	And meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, no, no, no, the people don't want it.
	They have no case.
	They have no case.
	They really don't.
	The people don't want it.
	I mean, a lot of Democrats do, but that's probably the minority of them.
	And they know it's a setup.
	It's just a setup.
	It's just to give Trump more publicity.
	He's unbelievable getting attention and publicity.
	Like they said, it was like $5 billion worth of free media when he ran against Hillary.
	Per day.
	It was fantastic.
	He's getting nothing but more free media with these people, and they don't understand it.
	They don't see it.
	They can't resist.
	It's like irresistible.
	Yeah, it's baffling.
	It's truly baffling.
	And you see all these puppets, like Schiff all of a sudden pops up again.
	We haven't heard from Schiff for months.
	Do you know why?
	This apparently, as you get older, it takes longer and longer to shed your skin.
	Yeah.
	Well, Nadler is on deck for that, man.
	He needs to take a few days off to shed it and get the new skin in.
	Yeah.
	And reptiles.
	Isn't that crazy?
	And then we had...
	Go ahead.
	Well, I was going to...
	No, go on with where you're headed.
	No, I was just going to change to a different topic, so I didn't know if you had something else.
	Well, I was going to kind of switch to the humorous part of the show.
	Oh, okay.
	Okay.
	Which is about half the show, but I've decided I'm going to try to do the gaffe of the week from Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden, okay.
	Because that's my assignment.
	But I also have, this week, I do have a stupid clip from your buddy Sheila Jackson.
	My buddy?
	Just because he's in Texas.
	Don't all Texans know each other?
	Aren't they all friends?
	I denounce that woman!
	I saw this clip.
	One of our producers turned this on to us, didn't they?
	This is a great, great clip for the people who know anything.
	Most people know more about guns than Sheila Jackson Lee, Texas woman.
	Well, I have a deconstruction of what she says, and I think I know what happened, but...
	Because if you listen to what she does and what she says...
	Yeah, at the very beginning, sure.
	It's obvious what happened, but this is her...
	Somebody caught her in the hall, and she's complaining about assault weapons, and so here's what she had to say about the AR-15.
	I don't know what else it takes, but I don't believe that we can stop at the door of the United States House.
	I believe there will have to be an emergence of members of the House flooding the United States Senate for Senator Connell to understand that these initiatives today, my gun storage bill, my bill that I've introduced dealing with the Taliban weapon, I've held an AR-15 in my hand.
	I wish I had it.
	It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving.
	And the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the streets.
	All right.
	So the AR-15.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me get this straight.
	The AR-15 shoots.50 cal?
	Is that what she's saying?
	.50 caliber bullets which need to be licensed.
	And the rifle apparently weighs, what, 10 boxes of, you know...
	Of moving stuff.
	Of moving stuff.
	Somebody put a.50 caliber in her hands.
	Somebody put a.50 caliber machine gun.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Which are heavy.
	If anyone's ever been around one or shot one, you could lift it up with your pinky.
	It's a very light weapon.
	Well, hold on.
	You talk and I'll go get mine.
	I'll check.
	Now, it's a very light weapon.
	And so what she's describing is a machine gun.
	Somebody said, oh, yeah.
	They were putting her on.
	They were kidding her.
	They said, oh, yeah.
	Have you ever held a AR-15, Sheila?
	Oh, no.
	I never have.
	Oh, we've got one here.
	Look at this.
	And they drop a machine gun in her arms, which probably weighs about 50 pounds or whatever.
	And look at the bullets.
	Look how big they are.
	Oh, my God.
	She all freaked out.
	She didn't weigh so much.
	So she's an idiot.
	So I got my AR-15 and I'm holding it by my pinky.
	The pinky is...
	I mean, you can hold it.
	It's a little on the heavy side for that, but it's...
	It's not...
	No, it's not 10 bucks.
	Your two fingers, your pointing finger and your middle finger, you could easily hold a gun with that.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You can't do that with a machine gun.
	How come the.50 caliber doesn't fit?
	It's so odd.
	50 caliber.
	She shoots a.23 or.223, I think.
	Yeah.
	But whatever.
	Yeah.
	Typical.
	So she's a moron.
	The way I see it, somebody pulled a prank on her and she fell for it.
	Now, on to Joe Biden.
	Oh, Gaff of the Week.
	We need a jingle.
	We need a jingle, somebody.
	Joe Biden's Gaff of the Week.
	This is Joe Biden's Gap of the Week about prisons.
	Yes, and by the way, in prison, in prison, the determination should be that your sexual identity is defined by what you say it is, not what, in fact, the prison says it is.
	And in that case, you should be entitled also to OGBYing.
	Anyway, you didn't ask that question, but you're not likely to either, I guess.
	So, Joe, listen.
	I'm going to do a little briefing.
	I know it's going to sound weird, Joe, but someone's going to ask you if women who are really men who want to be women who are transgendered, if they can be in the...
	You know Orange is the New Black, Joe?
	You know that?
	Okay.
	They want to be there, and you're going to say that's okay.
	And then he goes out and does that, and he said, you can get an OBGYN. I was like, what?
	What he's saying is that anyone can say...
	So in other words, you're any male.
	You don't even have to be...
	You just identify as a female.
	You don't have to even be changing your sex or anything.
	You have no operation.
	You're just some dude.
	And you get to choose your own sex and you go to that jail?
	Yeah.
	Well, there won't be anybody in the men's prisons.
	Of course not.
	Ah, yes.
	I identify differently.
	Of course.
	But this is what's sad about it, because he's just going along with whatever someone tells him.
	He's not really in it.
	It's abusive at this point.
	It is.
	It's really abusive.
	You're abusing the elderly.
	I mean, I don't want to be ageist about it, but yes, I mean, some people who are in their 70s, you know, get a little more frazzled than others.
	Some people in their 50s get more frazzled.
	Joe, it's not appropriate.
	Well, you can compare him to the older person in this group of...
	Of old people.
	Competitors, which is Bernie.
	Bernie's a couple years older than Joe, and he's much sharper.
	Didn't Bernie just get voted off the island by everybody this weekend?
	No, what happened, in fact, I have a new, if people go to the Contenders website, I'm going to send a note out about it.
	What is this Contenders website?
	I got this essay, there's a constant essay about what I think who's going to be taking the nomination.
	Yeah, but what is this Contenders website?
	What happened to Cosmic Weenie?
	It's not a website, it's a page, it's a PDF file.
	It's a Cosmic Weenie thing, isn't it?
	Yeah, it's a Cosmic Weenie.
	Oh, okay.
	It's the contenders on Cosmic Weenie.
	You scared me.
	Yeah.
	Okay, yes.
	Cosmic Weenie.
	Yes.
	Let's get that straight.
	So, finally, I concluded now that everybody except those three, Biden, Warren, and Bernie, are off.
	They're gone.
	They're done.
	There's nothing they can do.
	They fell off the face of the earth.
	Kamala, especially, her numbers are over.
	So you have those three left, but Bernie, we already know they're not going to let him do it because he's, you know, too many reasons.
	So it's only there's two people left.
	And it's Warren and Biden.
	And the ticket I'm predicting is Biden-Warren.
	Because they can get along and it would be a ticket that has man-woman balance, but it's got no geographical balance.
	It's like the Democrat Party, you know, with all their social justice and real justice and justice now, came up with the two oldest white people they could find.
	Gotcha.
	Two old white people from the Northeast.
	These two white people should be doing a podcast.
	That's about it.
	Like us.
	We know our place.
	We know our place.
	And they're both from the Northeast.
	At least you and I, we've always been geographically, except for a very short period of time, geographically separate.
	So give us a little more angularity to the podcast.
	You're from Texas, which is pretty alien to California in some ways.
	Or you were in England for a while, you were here, you were there.
	But they're both like neighbors.
	I mean, he's from Delaware, he's from Massachusetts.
	He's close enough.
	I had a disappointing moment this weekend with my favorite candidate, Marianne Williamson.
	I know that, you know, she has no chance, but it doesn't matter.
	I mean, I voted for the Build the Dome in Austin guy.
	I mean, I vote for people I believe in.
	Marianne Williamson had a good rap.
	I liked it.
	But then she was asked a question on this MSNBC climate...
	What is this called?
	MSNBC climate...
	Forum.
	Climate Forum.
	About nuclear.
	I believe in nuclear.
	I've kept up with nuclear technology.
	We have many professionals and experts...
	Who are producers of this show.
	And if you look into fourth gen.
	Yeah, backyard nukes, fourth gen.
	Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff happening.
	And I will say this too.
	Most people bitching and moaning about nuclear are bitching and moaning about the technology of the 50s, the 1950s.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	So here's Marianne Williamson, who could have done a lot better on this one.
	So you say that in your environmental crisis plan that...
	I have to mention, I cut out all the long pauses because I just didn't want it to take two minutes.
	You want the United States to stop all use of nuclear energy.
	What do you identify as the problems with nuclear energy?
	And what do you say to those who think it simply gets a bad reputation?
	Well, I know Germany had said at one point, we're just going no nuclear.
	But then when they said no nuclear, there was a problem because they had a hard time keeping up with the other standards that they agreed to.
	What is wrong with it?
	If something goes wrong with nuclear energy, I don't think people have really stopped to take in a horror.
	See, we need an integrated politics.
	We need to go beyond hard data.
	We need to go beyond just thinking about the facts.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	She's taking a page out of Biden's playbook.
	Facts don't matter.
	Hard data doesn't matter.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	A horror.
	See, we need an integrated politics.
	We need to go beyond hard data.
	We need to go beyond just thinking about the facts.
	Hmm.
	I want you to think about this with your heart.
	Something goes wrong there.
	What are we even talking about?
	How can we even consider it?
	And so what?
	Maybe we'd all be a little warm or a little cool.
	I mean, Americans, we have to decide.
	That's the problem I have with nuclear.
	Okay, well, no.
	Get out!
	That's...
	She has no...
	She could just say, you know, I really haven't looked that much into nuclear.
	I don't know any of the new technologies, but I'm still kind of wary about the way it was portrayed in the past in movies like The China Syndrome and the...
	Documentary HBO did on Chernobyl.
	People think that's a documentary.
	It was completely dramatized.
	It's not a documentary.
	So she's still in, oh no, we'll all die if something happens.
	Fukushima.
	People died from the tsunami is what happened.
	Okay.
	Three Mile Island is shutting down for good though.
	Can I mention something else that she actually put in there?
	Sure.
	Why do all the climate alarmists Which is the word I like.
	To promote, oh, science, science, science.
	Even though they're talking about computer models and computer simulations, they don't even know what that means.
	But that's okay.
	But they're going to promote science, science, science.
	It's whatever the science is.
	The science about nuclear is extremely positive and formidable and established.
	But she herself says, well, I don't care what the science or the facts.
	Who cares about that?
	Yeah.
	It's like, wait, make up your mind.
	If you're going to be all in on science, science, science, you have to be all in on nuclear.
	Yeah, when I was in the Netherlands for Lexus Book, remember I was on that TV show with kind of the hoity-toity political talk show that's on Late Night Every Night.
	And on that same show was Jesse Klaffer.
	He's a leading left-wing, one of the young, hot left-wing politicians who in the Netherlands are now talking about trillions of euros that they need to spend, this little country, they need to spend on saving the climate.
	And after the show, I'm like, hey man, you look at the new nuclear devices, you know, they eat the waste of the old guys, they eat their own poop, it's like, you know, there is no waste, and No, I'll look into that.
	What?
	You just spent an hour on TV talking about science and you've not looked into this?
	Well...
	Because it's not about it.
	They don't really care.
	And Marianne Williamson is off my list.
	Off my list.
	Well, it's about time to keep your senses.
	Bad answer.
	It was bad.
	I only liked her because she was funny.
	Well, she's funny.
	I'm not against a little bit of feel-good.
	I think, in fact, our politicians could use a little bit more of that.
	But then to say, oh, well, now use your heart, ignore the facts.
	Take it a little too far.
	It's not going to work.
	De Blasio was out.
	He's done.
	Was he ever not out?
	Yeah, I guess.
	Yeah, Three Mile Island is shutting down for good this Friday.
	And, of course, we've talked about this many times.
	Three Mile Island, there was a reactor event.
	No one died.
	You know, they shut it down.
	They had two more.
	It did happen the same week or within three days of the movie The China Syndrome coming out, which, just like when Reagan had to close all the mental hospitals, one flew over the cuckoo's nest, was right there to solidify our thinking.
	You gotta think if that's...
	I wonder if that's coincidence.
	But the reason...
	Nurse Ratched.
	Who looks a little like Virginia...
	Or Newland.
	The Newland woman.
	A little bit.
	Juicy fruit.
	My favorite.
	But the reason Unit 1 is shitting down, is shutting down, is not because of any problem other than money.
	Because natural gas is kicking its ass.
	It can't compete.
	Yeah, well, we're getting a lot of natural gas from the frackers.
	Yeah.
	Not a fan of that, personally, but...
	No, no.
	Anyway...
	Yes.
	Oh, I do have some...
	On a side note...
	Yeah?
	I did pick up...
	Oh, there goes my phone.
	Why don't you explain something to our great listeners as I go take this phone off the hook?
	Okay, well, great listeners.
	I don't usually talk to you.
	I usually talk to John.
	I let you guys listen in.
	Yeah, stop ringing.
	Okay.
	All right, so let's go to...
	I ran into this clip.
	There's a guy...
	There's a lot of weird...
	There's a lot of weird stuff.
	Ever since you got the muck racking or whatever the thing was that you called it, I brought it up to the table.
	Muck bang.
	Muck bang.
	I said, yeah, that's what we told you about.
	And I said, yeah, well, I did bring it up on the show.
	I didn't have any clips.
	I brought it on the show about the guy who ate, you know, and moaned and groaned about his eating.
	And then they turned into two or three other things.
	Wait, can I ask a question?
	Yeah.
	Were they familiar with the term BJ? Yeah.
	They didn't bring VJ up.
	I didn't ask.
	No, it's not VJ. It's BJ. It was the broadcast jockey.
	The mukbang broadcast jockey.
	As far as they're concerned, mukbang is way, way, way over the hill.
	Oh, well, it makes sense that we come in now.
	There's a new thing called, I think it's AMRS. No, I did this on the last show, ASMR. ASMR, that's where they whisper.
	Yeah, that's what we did.
	Don't you remember?
	Well, the other one, there's another one that the real connoisseurs are into now, besides the whispers, which I think, I was watching your show.
	John, it's not, you're misunderstanding.
	It's not just whispering.
	It's making, I'll give you an example.
	It's like...
	And I'm going to rub on some paper.
	Yeah, I know.
	I know this.
	They make a lot of racket.
	They scratch things and try to make your skin crawl.
	But that's kind of like at its peak.
	We're at peak whatever.
	Peak ASMR. Peak ASMR. Now the other thing that's kind of cropping up are the dids.
	The dids?
	Yeah, you don't know about the dids.
	Maybe, and I don't know.
	How do you spell that?
	D-I-D-S? D-I-D-D-S? D-I-D. D-I-D. Dissociative something disorder.
	It's where you have split personalities.
	Hmm.
	So this is kind of like took the place of what the Tourette's guys used to be.
	I had to show them the Tourette's guys that are on the YouTubes.
	There's a million Tourette's guys expressing themselves.
	I've met your kids.
	They didn't see me.
	I wasn't good enough.
	They had to go to YouTube.
	You're not even close.
	Okay.
	You're like a...
	You're borderline...
	Normal.
	You're borderline a Tourette's phony.
	Oh, God.
	Okay.
	No offense.
	Oh, man.
	I'm a wannabe.
	You're a Tourette's wannabe compared to the really great Tourette's people.
	I mean, this show would be so entertaining.
	But the DITS people have split personalities or multiple personality disorder, which is what it used to be called.
	Now it's dissociative disorder.
	So there's women on there.
	It's actually very compelling.
	A lot of them are fakes, by the way.
	You can tell.
	I guess the game is you watch them go on and on and then you try to determine if they're a fake or not.
	But it became like an obsession.
	So I'm watching these things and saying, this is these poor people.
	So you run into a lot of shrinks that are in the same streams.
	And I ran into this one guy And this is the clip I'm leading to in a long roundabout way.
	This one guy who talks about a high IQ, low IQ, and he says, what we don't talk about is emotional quotient.
	Low EQ, low high EQ. And he has a list of things that make you a low EQ or high EQ person.
	I'm probably falling into the low EQ, it seems.
	Your negative interest rates on your EQ, my friend.
	Your negative personality.
	But he did bring this one.
	He has nine or twelve of these things.
	He says, if you say this or you do this, you're low EQ. I can get the list.
	I can read it later.
	But you have to listen to this one.
	I think this is number six.
	This is the low EQ people.
	In other words, you're insensitive and you have an emotional deficit.
	Compassionate deficit.
	Yeah, you're no good.
	Okay.
	Now, a sixth one, and this is kind of interesting.
	A person with low EQ might say something to the effect of, everything is great, right?
	Now, let me give you an example of what I mean there.
	It might be that I'll say, hey, you've got that new job.
	Everything's great with it, right?
	And when I throw that word right on the end of it, the implication is there's a certain way that I want to hear you respond.
	I want you to tell me that things are going well.
	And then if you come back and say, well, it's not all that great, then it makes you look like, well, then you're doing things wrong and you're not giving the right reaction.
	And so you're more of the negative kind of person.
	I, of course, am being positive, right?
	Right.
	And it has a real subtle put-down towards the person who might not give the correct response.
	Well, that's interesting.
	Yeah, and so, of course, I thought of Mike Morrell immediately, who can't not say right at the end of every assertion he makes, right?
	Right?
	Wow!
	That's interesting.
	Well, we kind of knew that.
	We know why people are saying it, and the way I read it was not from an EQ standpoint, but an IQ standpoint, because where did I hear this the most was in Silicon Valley.
	We'd have to up-talk and end with right.
	So we know that the transistors are really, it's the future, and, you know, Moore's Law is dead, right?
	Which, to me, was always a way of steamrolling over someone saying, you don't know shit, I know everything, right?
	Right?
	What he says is an EQ thing and it's an insult.
	A subtle insult to you because you have the person and Silicon Valley would be filled with people with low EQs.
	I mean, they can't even look women in the face.
	True.
	So you'd end up with this right phenomenon.
	So you say right at the end of every sentence.
	And I think, by the way, in that same category, it's okay.
	When people say, it's this way, okay?
	And I went over to the store, okay?
	And then I went and bought some food, okay?
	That is very similar to me.
	And it also would be low EQ. And I think you know is also the same category.
	Came from there, sure.
	And I think those are all people who say you know, you know, you know.
	And you see that a lot in sports where the football player comes out.
	You can't really express himself.
	But football players are low EQ. Silicon Valley people are low EQ. All these people are emotionally damaged.
	They need to be chipped.
	So it makes nothing but sense.
	And then you have a guy that's a CIA lifer.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, I just thought it was interesting.
	I said, wow, that's the explanation I haven't heard.
	Now here we have ham radio, guys.
	Ham radio is the public service network of last resort.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	See?
	Right.
	Jill Abrams is the best one.
	Right.
	Right.
	Hey, about No Agenda Hams, I have good news.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, well, as you know, I'm a community organizer.
	Next stop presidency for me.
	Or at least mayor.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Mayor of Austin.
	That'll work.
	Um...
	So I mentioned that I was getting back into the ham stuff.
	Ham, right?
	And I got D-Star, and so I was talking to a couple people.
	I said, we're on Reflector 33 Charlie.
	Anyway, this kind of got a life of its own, as I hoped it would, at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	There's a sign-up link for NoAgendaSocial.com in every show notes.
	Now, I'll put it there so you can join in the fun.
	And Mike from...
	He's Kilo 9 Mike Lima Sierra.
	He suggested All-Star Link, which I had...
	Frequency mode.
	You got your ham radio.
	Nice.
	That sounds like your ICOM. That's your ICOM. What is it, a D51? No, it's not the ICOM. The ICOM I keep in the glove box of the car.
	All right.
	This is your Beofeng?
	Beofeng.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so I'll just give you an example.
	Let me see.
	Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	Any hams there on 33 Charlie?
	Let's see if anyone's out there.
	Anyway, so we're talking a bit, and then Mike mentions this K9 MLS. He says, we've got to do All Star, which is a derivative.
	Here we go.
	What's this?
	Oh, I missed it.
	Which is derivative of Asterix.
	Do you remember Asterix?
	The PBX, open source PBX technology?
	No, I do not.
	Oh, it was a big thing back in the late 90s.
	Yeah, it was every company's like, oh, we don't have to buy expensive phone switching.
	We can do VoIP SIP. I think it never took off because of the SIP. But actually, it's used a lot.
	And it's highly adaptable, highly programmable.
	So, bottom line...
	We're setting up a network, which is backhauled on the internet, but you can essentially connect it to anything since it's Asterix, where anyone with a $25 Chinese handheld rig can participate.
	All you need to do is get your ham license.
	And people always find that daunting, but I have to remind them, if Nellie Orr could get her ham license, I'm sure you can too.
	It's not that hard.
	No, it's very easy.
	And we're going to build this out.
	It's going to be on six meters.
	And you can take the test over and over.
	Of course.
	It's going to be on six meters.
	We're going to do HF. It'll be on VHF, UHF. And right now we seem to be...
	Well, Mike and his guys up there in Minnesota are putting together a rig.
	They're going to send it to me so I don't have to do all the setup.
	And then we'll have the node.
	We'll have the master node.
	Everybody can link in, man.
	And you'll have a map and you can look where everybody is.
	And we're going to save the world.
	Right.
	I'm excited about it.
	Yeah, you are.
	I'm not quite sure why, other than it's the same thing as a meet-up.
	Basically, it's a meet-up.
	You know, there's people you know, and of course it's, you know, as the millennial here would say, it's kind of like a creepy chat room.
	Yeah, that's true too.
	Creepy chat room.
	She's liberal.
	It's a creepy chat room.
	Yeah, but it's nice.
	It's civil.
	It's civil.
	It's fun.
	And there are women there too, and very welcome.
	We have lots of female hams who are producing the No Agenda show.
	Yeah, I keep saying, I think women should all become hams.
	And like I've said before, anyone who listens to this show and particularly likes the OTG experience can probably pass the test without even studying.
	You can even, from your own node or any other node, you can dial a phone number.
	You have to go over, but you can actually make phone calls.
	It's an incredible system.
	And we'll have it streaming on Broadcastify and stuff like that.
	So where this will go, nobody knows.
	Last time we tried it, it kind of petered out.
	I think I went through a divorce or something and a whole bunch of stuff changed.
	But now the technology has changed.
	It's better.
	And I look forward to meeting more of our No Agenda hams all across No Agenda Nation.
	And with that, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in Channel 33C, John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships at sea, feet in the air, subs in the water.
	And all the Dames and Nights out there.
	Yes, in the morning to our trolls over there at noagendastream.com.
	It's also known as the Troll Room.
	This is where today we have 1,129 people listening along on a Sunday.
	Why are they doing that?
	Because they can.
	And you can sit there.
	There's almost no rules.
	You can do whatever you want.
	But most of it seems to be very positive and contributes very much to the entire experience of the No Agenda show with all the people who are making that work, especially Void Zero, Sir Bemrose, Derino.
	Everybody's there.
	NoagendaStream.com.
	Then for our art, 1174 was the previous episode on Thursday.
	The title of that was Soros Jugend.
	Didn't get as much pushback on the title as I expected we would.
	I didn't expect to get any pushback.
	I thought a couple people would find it a little rude.
	Calls it rude.
	Well, calling an old Jewish guy associating him with the Hitler Youth.
	He was the guy who worked for the Nazi SS. You said it, I didn't.
	He did.
	Yes.
	He admitted it.
	He thought it was the best years of his life.
	He liked it.
	We must have that clip.
	Hold on.
	It's horrible, that guy.
	What was that Soros...
	Was it the trains he was putting...
	Wasn't people putting down the trains?
	Yeah, he used to...
	Okay, you group, you go into Boxcar 5.
	You, Boxcar 5.
	You, Boxcar 6.
	You, 6.
	Over this way.
	I'm...
	I wish I could find that offhand.
	It's a good...
	It's out on the internet.
	It's definitely around.
	I should see if you could find it.
	Yeah, so I wouldn't...
	I don't think it would offend anybody.
	It makes nothing but sense, actually.
	It might offend him.
	Oh, he doesn't care.
	Yeah, you're right.
	I laugh in your general direction.
	As for the artwork, after every show, right after we're done, pretty much, we'll go and look at what has come in at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And there were multiple pieces...
	But we both thought that what Darren O'Neill did just was, it just blew us away.
	It was such a good piece.
	This was the Biden's corn pops.
	And the ear of corn with the bad dude with the straight razor.
	I don't know.
	It just completely worked.
	It was a good piece.
	It was a pretty piece.
	You know, when you use yellow as the background, it always pops.
	Yeah.
	Well, I always like that part, for sure.
	It's always good for clickage.
	And people look at stuff in their app.
	Hey, what happened there?
	Hey, the art changed.
	Is that a new show?
	Oh, it's a new episode.
	And then they play.
	Before you know it, they're in.
	We've sucked them in.
	And that's how it works with our Value for Value Network.
	Everybody is working towards the same goal to get people in, to keep them engaged, and hit them in the mouth as many ways as we can.
	Darren O'Neill, thank you very much.
	Great job.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can...
	Find all the art.
	Participate in making art.
	And a lot of it goes other places, too.
	Newsletters.
	People post it all over Twitter.
	NoagendaShop.com puts in our mugs, t-shirts, hats.
	Boy, No Agenda Nation is vast.
	Thank you, Darren.
	Now, our executive producers and associate executive producers for this episode, these are the people who came in $200 above or $300 and above, and we like to give them the special credits they deserve, just like Hollywood, without the hookers and blow.
	We're starting off with a $700 donation from Daleville, Virginia, from Laura J. Joe.
	Now, I have to spell her name so people can realize the...
	Because I don't know what kind of a name this is, and I don't think she says.
	Polish, she says.
	But it's spelled D-Z-I-A-D-Z-I-O, and the pronunciation is J. Joe.
	I think it would be J. Joe.
	J. Joe.
	I know, but that's for you.
	I come from the region.
	It's Polish.
	It means grandpa.
	So you're from Poland.
	From the region.
	I didn't say I'm from Poland.
	I'm from the region.
	What region?
	Europe.
	You're nowhere near Poland.
	I was in Europe.
	That's the region.
	Yeah, to the EU thinkers.
	I knew this was you.
	Yeah, huh.
	J. Joe.
	Hey, John and Adam, I'm such a douchebag, but hopefully paid my penance today.
	This would make me a dame, which I should have earned years ago if I was truly worthy.
	Anyhow, I love you guys and would be lost without the best podcast in the universe as I hear in the Mueller report.
	Anyhow, no jingles, but some jobs karma would be appreciated.
	Also, if any producers more talented than I could come up with a there's nothing but a dame jingle.
	Huh.
	There's nothing but a Dame jingle.
	She has some direction here.
	I would be forever grateful.
	My dear departed mom would probably not be an NA fan, but may have been converted with a twist on the Rodgers and Hammerstein tune.
	So what tune is that?
	Nothing But a Dame?
	I don't know.
	I don't know off the top of my head.
	I like Broadway musicals, but not to that point.
	Was it Nothing But a Daydream?
	What was the original?
	No, I don't think so.
	Anyhow, maybe somebody in the chat room knows.
	Anyhow, you two, she says anyhow a lot.
	Anyhow, you two have made consumption of the news close to palatable.
	And you deserve extra special kudos for that.
	Soon to be Dame Laura.
	Thank you, Dame Laura.
	Hold on a second.
	She's helping us out here.
	This is from Roger and Hammerstein.
	There's nothing like a dame.
	Oh, there's nothing like a dame.
	Yeah.
	It's from the movie South Pacific.
	And who's in that?
	We got sunlight on the sand.
	We got moonlight on the sea.
	Yeah, that'll bring him in.
	That'll roll him in.
	Hey, I'll see you at the round table when you become Dame Laura.
	Very excited about that.
	Good to have you here.
	Jojo.
	Laura Jojo.
	I would think there's nothing like a Dame would be from Guys and Dolls or something.
	A musical like that is where it fits in better.
	Anyway, Mark Jasper's next on the list.
	Hold on, hold on.
	She needs her jobs, Karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got Karma.
	Mark Jasper, 500 bucks.
	I'm alive!
	Everything is possible.
	Omega Project.
	What does that mean?
	Hey, thank you.
	Mark Jasper, it's okay.
	Message passed, message received.
	Thank you.
	I think the I'm alive refers to the computer becoming alive.
	Oh.
	Well, if all computers become alive and donate 500 bucks, we're in good shape.
	Sir Robert Clayson, meanwhile, $354.64.
	Gentlemen and honorable lords of the best of the oldest still-running podcasts in the universe, I hereby put forth my contribution of 35464 Thaler.
	Thaler.
	Thereby upgrading my own self to that of a baron.
	I would like to claim Lapland encompassing the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and also parts of Russia as my territory.
	All right.
	If approved, yeah.
	Have you ever been to Lapland?
	No.
	I have.
	All the Laplanders look exactly like Robin Williams.
	It's the strangest thing you've ever seen.
	If approved I will henceforth be referred to as Sir Robert Shining Baron of Lapland.
	If available I would humbly like to request that Reindeer and Cloud Oh, cloudberries, yeah.
	Will be added to the assortment of delicacies served at the round table.
	Yes, Sir Robert, I have indeed ordered those and they will be at the round table for you and for the other knights and dame that we have today as for your title change.
	And I think we're okay with the Baron of Lapland.
	I don't think we have any issues.
	No other Laplanders don't.
	All right.
	And thank you for your courage.
	Nathan Miller Foster is next on the list.
	$350.
	I'm about to donate and reach knighthood.
	I want to make sure the note gets to you right.
	So I'm going to send it after my donation tonight.
	It's kind of a rhyme.
	It's also my birthday tomorrow.
	Good!
	You got it.
	Send another note, you think?
	No, I think this is the note.
	It sounds like a stub, as you like to say in Wikiland.
	Well, hold on a second, because Eric did attach something.
	Let me just double-check.
	Who was that from?
	That was Foster.
	Yeah, he did attach a PDF file of some sort.
	Yeah, I recall that, and I didn't look at it.
	Hold on, why can't I? Why is it not coming up now?
	What the hell is going on?
	I don't have his 1175 note anymore.
	That's odd.
	I didn't delete it, did I? Hold on.
	Now I've got to get to the bottom of this.
	Here we go.
	Wait, is it Nathan Miller Foster?
	Yes.
	Okay, so we do have it.
	Hold on.
	Oh, yes.
	I do remember this.
	You know what we usually call these notes?
	You know what we call them.
	Yeah.
	War and Peace!
	Oh, War and Peace.
	You wrote War and Peace.
	He really did.
	It's a very nice note.
	Here, let me just...
	For some reason, it's not...
	Let me see if I can open this up.
	Because he did have a few things that were...
	Shoot, I feel bad we didn't...
	I feel bad we didn't pre-produce this.
	Okay, here we go.
	We don't pre-produce.
	ITM, Podfather's Crackpot, and Buzzkill.
	I love the show.
	It's a huge part of my life in a very positive way.
	I love listening to the show, the donations, and the sundry contributions from all the producers.
	Thank you both Adam and John and the entire No Agenda family.
	First of all, I appreciate the people who appreciate this show's intersainment as much as I do.
	Also, something about a goat.
	I've got ants.
	Chipotle, mac and cheese, that's true, and there goes the zephyr.
	I've been listening to the show since I hit myself in the mouth immediately after I turned 33.
	I discovered no agenda through the O'Culture podcast through a donation shout-out there.
	Interesting.
	Can you stop?
	Yeah.
	What was that term he had?
	Insane-otainment?
	What was that?
	Inter-sainment.
	Oh.
	Interesting.
	I think we made that up.
	Okay, well, it's not what I hoped.
	Go on.
	You hoped it would be better.
	While in podcast Rome, Occulture was the first show I was interviewed on.
	Twice, in fact.
	First about my writing, The Holy Gift.
	As I mentioned when I earned an associate executive producer credit for show 1111.
	The other time I've been on Occulture was talking about the occult and magic in Twin Peaks.
	I'll be on again soon talking about Tool's new album, Fear Inoculum.
	So now he goes on for quite a while with this note and talks about...
	Many different things, but he does have his knight name, and it kind of goes along with his note.
	His knight name will be, because he's getting knighted, Sir Nathan Lee Miller Foster, chaotic good knight of the White Lodge and Blue Orchid of the Gold Heart Mountaintop Queen Directory, Elfstone and Bearer of the Sword Reforged.
	And as his roundtable contribution, Cannabis and Coffee, in the following manner, true to Twin Peaks, We take this coffee as Kona coffee drank black as midnight on a moonless night with a slip of some post-rock band Mogwai made whiskey and blunt wraps each an eighth of fine ocean-grown Maui Waui and juicy JJ mango papaya twist-flavored wraps.
	You may also call it Kona Coffee and Maui Waui for the roundtable.
	Yeah.
	NJNK, Sir Nathan Lee.
	Thank you very much, Sir Nathan Lee.
	And thank you.
	And so, I guess, does he get something today?
	Is that his...
	Is he on the list?
	I think so.
	I've made all kinds of mistakes here.
	You put yourself in a hole.
	Well, no.
	Well, while you're looking into that.
	You can continue.
	I'm going to figure it out.
	I will go on with Sir Nick of the Southside, Baron of the DMV in Herndon, Virginia.
	He'll be our first associate executive producer.
	Comes in with the fine donation of 23456.
	Gentlemen, I like a de-douching.
	Okay.
	You've been de-douched.
	It's a de-douching for a lapse in providing value.
	The show is excellent, excellent, especially the deep dive into the brand safe content.
	I'd like some health karma for my in-laws and a Rev-L clip.
	Sir Nick of the South Side, Baron of the DMV. Yeah, so Nathan Miller indeed is going to be a night today, and I am putting his Kona Coffee and Maui Waui at the round table.
	And what did...
	What did Sir Nick want?
	He wanted...
	Sir Nick wants a...
	Yeah, I got a new Al.
	I got a new Rev Al for him.
	And he wants some health karma and a Rev Al clip.
	Okay.
	So the typical Rev Al would be...
	But exist, we much.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	But now we have a new one where good old Al is trying to pronounce the word koala.
	You're familiar with the koala, the koala bear?
	The little koala bear.
	The bear that carries, even if you pet him, you get chlamydia.
	Here's the president meeting with a koala cube.
	There you go.
	Koala cube.
	Wow.
	You've got karma.
	A koala cube.
	Here it again.
	Here's the president meeting with a koala cube.
	Wow.
	Yeah, he's great.
	Good old Rev Al.
	That's not even close.
	I got more from Rev Al later today, too.
	Good.
	We'll look forward to that.
	Sir Brian, Baron of Costa Mesa, $233.33.
	I donated a month ago and asked for jobs karma.
	Shortly after I made the donation, I got a call for a full-time job in Salt Lake City doing work with people I know and like.
	Wow!
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Now I'm asking for relocation and travel karma.
	This is the greatest podcast in the universe.
	Brian Barron of Costa Mesa.
	I was just going to say, if only you and I could get that kind of job with people we like, it would be great.
	You've got karma.
	Next, the lovely Lorraine Converse in Westland.
	Hold on.
	I'm surprised anybody even likes me.
	There we go.
	Yes, sorry.
	I am.
	I'm always stunned by that.
	Lorraine Converse in West Linn, Oregon, 222.22.
	ITM, thank you for your valuable deconstruction.
	I updated my Twitter settings due to John's great how-to, and I'm waiting to see how the magic Elgos filter my feed.
	Thank you for your courage, Lorraine Converse.
	Now, we have to stop for a second, and I need to say that there is indeed...
	You tweeted a...
	Another cosmic weenie genius bit with complete diagrams on how to do this.
	And you walked me through it after a Thursday show, and I can tell you that since I did that, nothing has changed.
	It has changed because I noticed that your retweets of the show were up by at least 50%.
	But at some point we need to go through the items that Twitter thinks I believe I'm interested in.
	Which includes a lot of sports, by the way.
	Just to show you.
	I thought we went over this list with you over the phone.
	That's why I decided to do that write-up.
	Because I said, maybe I'm not going to tell anymore.
	Forget it.
	I'm just going to write this up.
	And I sent an email out to the No Agenda newsletter subscribers, and they're the ones who found out about it first, with a detailed description in there how to do this step-by-step.
	It's complicated, and it's non-intuitive, and so if you don't know how to do it, you'll never figure it out.
	But we went over yours.
	You have the most humorous stuff clicked that Twitter thinks you're interested in.
	It's just beyond me.
	And I've been looking at how it works.
	It really...
	It depends...
	Because I click on a lot of stuff that people send me, so I think that's where it comes from.
	But if you just look at...
	I'm interested in Android.
	Absolutely not.
	Behavior and beauty.
	These are new, John.
	Again, Beyonce.
	My box for Beyonce is...
	Beyonce's box is checked.
	I'm not looking at Beyonce.
	Yeah, you are.
	No!
	Cardi B... There's a reason that these things are getting clicked.
	Checked, I mean.
	You have to be doing something.
	Drink experience, food experience, herbs and spices, maybe.
	Huawei, ice cream, no.
	Instagram, no, I'm never on Instagram.
	They finally put MTV, but I unchecked that and they haven't rechecked it.
	So now they agree I'm no longer associated with MTV. Mukbang!
	Oh, I got a Mukbang!
	Wow!
	I got a Mukbang!
	Are you tweeting about it?
	I don't think so.
	Well, how did you get on that list?
	This is very mysterious how some of these things get checked.
	I mean, only from YouTube, not from Twitter.
	I didn't get any of the Mukbang from Twitter.
	Someone may have tweeted me with a Mukbang.
	That's a possibility.
	Or they're listening to the show.
	Oh yeah, that could be.
	And why not?
	Vaping.
	I got vaping in there.
	Reggae.
	Anyway, if you got the newsletter, you would have gotten the instructions.
	Yes.
	And it's also amusing.
	It's a very amusing process to go through and look at what they think you're interested in.
	It's fascinating.
	Yeah, we went through the keepers.
	It was just as good as mine, believe me.
	Very funny.
	Yeah.
	So this whole thing is screwed up.
	Now, my premise, and I also wrote a short essay on this, my premise, and I talked to Adam about this, I think that this is not a shadow banning for political reasons.
	I think that they're overburdened.
	I don't think Twitter can do what they promise.
	I think they have to do this because their bandwidth, they're constricted.
	They haven't got the computing power to do all that they say they can do.
	Yeah, I thought about this, and first I was kind of dismissive, or I said, well, I don't think about that.
	But when you look at the amount of people they have and the amount of follows that people have, which I think is substantial, I don't know what the average is, but I'd say people follow hundreds, probably, on average.
	It may just be that they...
	Or that they can't actually...
	They may technically be able to deliver it, but I have a feeling the experience would be so out of whack.
	And today, or Monday, I think they announced they're now going to hide replies will be available to you, which I think is going to ruin the product.
	And the way it works is, if I'm the original tweeter, and I tweet, I can...
	And you reply to me with, Carrie, you Tourette's dick!
	Then I could hide that so no one else would see that reply even though they were following that original tweet of mine.
	Which I think ruins it.
	Well, it means you can edit.
	Kind of.
	Not really an edit.
	Well, it's kind of an edit.
	It's like letters to the editor.
	You don't run everyone that shows up.
	Right.
	But that's kind of the beauty of it, is you can yell at other people.
	If you're yelling and it doesn't show up, then people are going to stop yelling and the product will go down.
	That's because people like the yelling.
	Exactly.
	That's why they're there.
	It's an entertainment.
	That's why they're there.
	Most of these social medias are really entertainment vehicles.
	You can go, oh, look at that.
	Well, that guy got him to shut up.
	Oh, that guy got burned.
	He's burned.
	I imagine you doing that.
	Yes, I imagine you sitting there in your duster and your Crocs.
	Burn!
	Burned!
	Put a time code there.
	Oh yeah, believe me.
	I'm all over it.
	Jennifer Augley is next on the list and she comes in with $210.25 from Grenop, Kentucky.
	Has she wrote a note?
	Oh, good.
	This is our first donation.
	So let's see.
	Okay, her husband's involved.
	She's not a did person.
	This is our first, because most of the did people, when they're talking about themselves, they're always never me or I. It's us.
	Us and our, yeah.
	It's very interesting.
	But this donation of $210.25 is for my husband, Matt.
	As we celebrate our 10-year marriage on Wednesday, September 25th, my husband hit me in the mouth a little over a year ago while traveling to visit family.
	Usually when you're...
	Yes, that's the way to do it.
	You got somebody trapped and you make them listen to the show.
	You know what's next?
	He'll have you trapped in the car and he'll be on the ham radio.
	Watch.
	Hey, baby, watch this.
	Can you believe that guy's in Cleveland?
	And while traveling to visit family, usually I would just tune it out, blah, blah, blah.
	But I found myself starting to sing clips and laughing at things that I, as a borderline SJW, should not have found funny.
	That's not funny.
	Thus so began my love affair for the NA show, and instantly I found my husband and I fighting less and less and less and bonding over your amygdala-shrinking sanity.
	So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for saving our marriage and, more importantly, my sanity.
	Wow!
	The NA family that listens together does, in fact, stay together.
	I'm proud to announce I'm now recovering SJW. Yeah.
	And with that said, I would like to wish my smoking hot husband a happy anniversary.
	I couldn't imagine my life without you.
	Love you, babe!
	Aww.
	That's so nice.
	I would like to ask Mr.
	Jobs Karma for him.
	Yes.
	Because he just graduated with a BFA, Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a concentration on 3D design.
	Yeah, he's going to have real trouble finding work.
	Because his concentration in 3D design and animation and AAS in CAD. C-A-D-D-CAD. A year early with honors whilst working to support the four human resources we added during his past five years.
	Wow.
	To bring the total to five.
	Yeah, he better get a job.
	All of which, all the five she's talking about, the five kids, love the jingles and sing them.
	Often, especially my 12-year-old daughter, She likes them the most.
	Hopefully, the jobs karma works, and the past five years...
	What?
	And this past five years, to bring our total to five, all of which, love your jingles, and say, okay, I'm sorry, didn't scroll.
	And this, just the first of many donations, jingle requests...
	Now she has some jingle requests I should have read at the beginning.
	But anyway, I thought that was a sweet note.
	Yes.
	And...
	Luckily, her husband is in a field, I don't know where they live, but he's in a field of work where he should be employed for the rest of his life.
	And be able to jump jobs if he feels like it.
	Nice.
	Is my thinking.
	Anyway, Putin, don't worry, be happy.
	Obama, don't worry.
	You Might Die and China Asshole, which is a new favorite in our house, though I must remind the four children that are under the age of five not to say it in public.
	Wait a minute.
	Putin Don't Worry Be Happy, Obama You Might Die, and what was the third one?
	China Asshole.
	Oh, asshole.
	And I'm going to add one for the kids.
	Yeah, okay.
	Anyway, she says keep up the excellent deconstruction.
	There is no exit strategy.
	Much love and light.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	You might die.
	China is asshole!
	Yes, J.W. say wah, wah, wah.
	Wah, wah, wah.
	Wah, wah, wah.
	Yes, JW, say wah, wah, wah.
	All the way back to their mom's basement.
	All right, kids, sing that for your mom.
	You've got karma.
	That's cute.
	Could not resist.
	Sir Alex, the night of the Northern Launchpad came in with $202.02.
	He says, ITM, John and Adam.
	Sir Alex here, Knight of the Northern Launchpad is here chipping in.
	Sad puppies in the newsletter work.
	Palindromes, nah.
	You know what's interesting about this last newsletter, if people can find it?
	Yeah.
	I'm not sure why it's happened, but even one of our, I have these certain people that check in telling me where the mail went.
	They do a good job of finding it.
	And Mike in particular, I was going to tell him to stop sending his notes.
	I've done this to a couple of people because there's no variation.
	But Mike had Nikolaychuk.
	He always says, all right, primary, primary, primary.
	No, this time it went into spam.
	And I did get not one note from anyone saying that it went into their primary box.
	All these, this newsletter went into spam.
	Even this one, because you had five animal pictures in it.
	That could be.
	I should have.
	I mean, I was overdoing it.
	And you had a typo on the one thing you didn't send to me to check, which always...
	Makes me sad.
	I had a typo in a caption?
	Yeah.
	Under the sad puppy.
	Under the sad puppy.
	You misspelled what?
	Oh, no.
	Yes.
	Oh, here's how it goes.
	Keeper and I are out.
	Well, he's the newsletter.
	Okay, do you see what I see?
	But he never sends me the captions.
	I can't check those.
	The captions are last minute.
	It was, what did you expect?
	W-A-H-T. What did you expect?
	I think you were going for Colonel Clink, actually.
	Okay, good.
	No, it's good.
	Sad puppy, sad cat, panda.
	I mean, could it get any better?
	I got a guy that said that he only donated because of the sad panda.
	Pandas are important.
	Anyway, so...
	Okay, where are we on this note?
	A standing job, Northern, blah, blah, blah.
	I wish to keep...
	Where does it say?
	No, he said it's right at the top.
	Sad puppies, newsletter, yeah, palindromes, nah.
	Okay, next line.
	According to the books, with this donation, I'm entering the realm of double knights.
	I wish to keep my title as is.
	A lot of people don't like the baronet title.
	Same reflection as Warren did.
	Even after coming to the U.S. in 2011, it took me four years to run into a true example of free speech exercise, and that was in the year 2015 when I started listening to the No Agenda show.
	Now there you go.
	Right.
	I don't know where he came from.
	Did he come from Northern Europe?
	I don't know where he came from.
	But there's no free speech in this country except a no-agenda show.
	And why is that, Adam?
	Why can we say what we want?
	Because we don't take money from advertisers or corporate interests that will, if they don't tell us to shut up, will have us self-censoring And we don't have to do that at all.
	We can go anywhere we want because of this value-for-value model.
	That's exactly right.
	Yes, because we don't have to worry about self-censoring, which you have to do, and everybody does it.
	And if you're working for the newspapers or anywhere else, you self-censor.
	And if you don't self-censor, you get in trouble.
	Do you see what happened to Brian Brushwood?
	No, what happened to Schwud?
	Oh, Schwud posted, tweeted, he tweeted a screenshot of his YouTube channel.
	Now, Schwud has a lot of viewers and followers and subscribers.
	Yeah, he's a magician.
	He's famous.
	Yeah, and so, listen to this.
	I should probably read it verbatim, but I'll give you the synopsis.
	In the review of our verified status, we regret to inform you that you no longer meet the criteria for verified status.
	Not like, we don't like you, we don't want ads running on your, you know, we don't want to kick you off.
	No.
	You're just not real.
	We're not verifying.
	You're not verified.
	Oh, that's right.
	I saw this.
	This came from YouTube.
	Yes, from YouTube.
	Yes.
	I didn't know that this existed.
	Verified on YouTube exists, sure.
	But I don't understand.
	Look, I'm Adam Curry.
	That's verifiably true.
	If Twitter or anybody, which I hope they don't because I have to leave the platform, if they verify me, then I'm verified.
	You can't unverify something you've verified.
	It just doesn't make sense.
	No, it makes zero sense.
	Here, I'll read it to you.
	That means you were wrong the first time.
	Here, so, hi there.
	They don't even use the first name.
	Hi there, comma.
	We're writing to let you know that we're updating the eligibility criteria for channel verification.
	Mm-hmm.
	Unfortunately, with these changes your channel no longer meets the criteria to be verified.
	We realize this might be disappointing, but we believe these updates will make channel verification more consistent for users and creators across YouTube.
	I don't even know what this means.
	Yeah, what does it mean to him?
	I don't know.
	Well, he's sad.
	They can't run ads on his sons?
	Sad puppy.
	Sad puppy is what it means.
	Sad puppy is what it means.
	I don't know.
	I don't know what it means.
	It's odd.
	Get off!
	Get off of the whole platform, Schwood.
	He's not going to do that.
	BitChute.
	Go to BitChute.
	All the cool kids are on BitChute.
	All right, back to Sir Alex.
	All right.
	Okay, he doesn't, not Europe, but Russia.
	He says, nothing else even comes closer than no agenda show.
	Mind you, I came through the 90s in Russia.
	Nowhere else in the world would such a show continue for 12 seasons on a major distribution platform anyone can access.
	Outstanding job, gentlemen.
	Congratulations, Murica.
	Being knighted on the show 900 among a dozen of fellow sirs, we were all unfortunate to miss an invitation to the roundtable festivities as the pronunciated cater...
	Pronounce-cater.
	That's you, Adam.
	Yes.
	Ran out of breath as such.
	I would like to request an opportunity to partake in the next ceremonial occasion.
	Please, Jobs Karma.
	Cheers, Sir Alex.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for Jobs!
	You've got karma.
	So that means he wants to be at the round table again?
	Is that what that means?
	Well, he thought he got gypped.
	That's okay, but then I have to put him on, because Eric didn't put him on.
	Back office didn't do that.
	It would be up to you.
	Yeah, well, let's put him on.
	So he's saying that he never got a proper nighting?
	That's what he says.
	I take his word for it.
	I take his word for it.
	You're in.
	Got it.
	Lucia Maria Asberto in Cevosa, Czechoslovakia?
	Switzerland.
	Switzerland?
	Yeah.
	Oh, no, she's in Switzerland.
	She says, Salutations from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, which is southern Switzerland.
	It's a very different place from Italy.
	Country whose total mess I escaped in 2013.
	Well, Switzerland's your best bet.
	Great essay from John about the Twitter interest scam.
	I noticed that if you keep rejecting the most popular tweets first, putting the newest first order...
	After many, many iterations, and the setting seems to stick.
	Yeah, some of the settings don't stick when you erase them.
	It's a crap shoot.
	For the donation, I am using a multi-currency free Revolut credit card that also gives me interbank currency exchange rates.
	Boy, she should have moved to Switzerland a while ago.
	Wait, aren't the overnight exchange rates 10% now?
	It may not be advantageous these days.
	I don't know.
	With no commissions and no spreads.
	With no commissions, no spreads.
	Wow.
	But PayPal insists that I exchange Swiss francs for U.S. dollars for this donation with a 2% plus commission.
	I need to keep changing the currency to U.S. dollars, but each time I input new data, PayPal returns to their outrageous exchange proposal.
	This is a banking lesson.
	Since they also have free money transfers...
	Something Hoyt says here about adding the show's bank coordinates, IBAN, and SWIFT codes so that you can get the full amount with no commissions, no jingles.
	Okay, with no commissions.
	Anyway, see if you can find a way to use PopMoney.
	Zelle.
	Do you have Zelle?
	I don't know.
	John, the obvious answer to this, I hate to say, but you know what it is.
	It's Bitcoin, but we'll never take it.
	I mean, I know you're against it.
	We should have started taking it.
	When we should have started taking it, which was at the beginning, we'd be rich.
	We wouldn't even be doing the show.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Why would we do that?
	You just put us out of a job.
	We'd be so rich from the Bitcoin.
	It's better to do it in dollars.
	The best part, when the government's internal divisions go around, open source approaches to buy costs.
	Anyway, she goes on and on about this.
	I can't take it anymore.
	She really goes on and on about this.
	Well, this is why people are moving to crypto, for this very reason.
	It's outrageous, all the fees they take.
	And you want to do a money bank transfer, an IBAN, interbank?
	It's going to cost you $25.
	Anyway, no jingles, generic karma, not expected, but appreciated, and so we'll give her some karma.
	I love the end of the show.
	Ant Song and JCD playing the recorder songs.
	Thanks for the best podcast in the universe, obviously, according to the Mueller report.
	Yes, and I'm going to give her some karma.
	You've got karma.
	Actually, I skipped down to Dick Banks.
	I was reading part of his note, which is complaining about the same thing coincidentally fit right in.
	So Dick Banks does come in from D.C. Dirty Dick Banks of D.C. 200 bucks, almost at the end.
	I hate seeing the beagle.
	Especially when someone in the MSM keeps hitting new lows.
	Shout out to the boys, Team ABC, Archer Campbell Bangs, age two.
	We recently...
	Learned Archer cracks up at those drone clips.
	Really?
	At the drone clips, whatever the drone clip is.
	He'd love that played.
	Drone again?
	Is that it?
	I think so.
	Yeah, we got that.
	Barrett Alexander bangs goat scream.
	Usually gets him.
	And the caboose of Team ABC Colton Reed bangs.
	Age five months.
	He's just getting along for the ride.
	Thanks for everything, Baron Dirty Dick bangs in D.C. Do not read the rest.
	Okay, so we need a goat.
	I'll incorporate everything.
	He's got some other stuff about China.
	We'll get it later.
	Our last donation is from Ben Smith in Greenville, Texas.
	200.
	And all he says is, sad puppies is greater than palindromes.
	ITM, Ben Smith, KF5SWC. That's right.
	We'll meet you on 33 Charlie or on the All Starlink Network soon.
	Kilo5AlphaCharlieCharlie.
	Thank you all of our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	Thank you for supporting the show today.
	Of course, we know that you saw the puppy.
	It's like a bat signal.
	You know what happened.
	We had low donations.
	So thank you very much for stepping in.
	It's always beautiful to see the true peerage of no agenda coming to the task and people who have been around for a while and just stepped it up.
	And we'll be thanking more of those people, $50 and above, in our second segment.
	These people, execs and associate execs, these are credits you can use anywhere.
	Some of you had multiple.
	Maybe you should rotate them out from time to time.
	Or just say executive producer or associate executive producer and list all of the shows that you produced on.
	It means stuff.
	It means something to knowage in the nation.
	It means stuff to your professional community.
	And it means a lot to us.
	Thank you so much.
	And you can always go to...
	That's right.
	And you've learned so much about puppies and pandas.
	You need to propagate it now.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out.
	We hit people in the mouth.
	Water.
	Order.
	What?
	What is this thing?
	What?
	Shut up.
	I got my JCD ISOs.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah.
	While we're on it, you got something for end of show?
	I do have one ISO. Let me grab my list of stuff.
	Where to go?
	Here it is.
	This is...
	Let's see.
	We have this one.
	It's enormously grave.
	We have the enormously grave.
	That's all I got.
	It's enormously grave.
	And then...
	I kind of like this one because I can play it and then retire it.
	I'm surprised anybody even likes me.
	If I just play it at the end of the show, then I'll never play it again.
	I'm sure it irritates you.
	That's the one I kind of like.
	Okay.
	I need to...
	Once again, Tucker Carlson going down the tubes...
	Well, let's back up before you...
	I mean, you have to tell us more background.
	Than just that.
	And part of the problem is he's losing his advertisers and losing his mind.
	He is losing his mind.
	And I caught a piece on Thursday or Friday's show.
	And I had just seen the full actual session on the Hill.
	And so when he brought this report, I'm like, man, you did not see it.
	You have no idea what was going on.
	And as much as I don't like doing it, I have to kind of come to Reverend Al's defense in this one.
	Here's the clip.
	Al Sharpton is a lot of things.
	You'd have to say, though, he's the hardest working man in politics.
	If there's a shameless hustle, he has done it.
	He's been an FBI informant.
	He's been a corporate shakedown artist.
	He's been a prolific tax cheat.
	And all the while, he's been, of course, a very famous racial demagogue.
	But he's not attacked for any of this because somehow and probably Sharpton has also become a moral hero to the left.
	President Obama did that, inviting him to the White House more than 50 times as a domestic policy advisor.
	Effect?
	Democratic presidential candidates now line up to praise Al Sharpton.
	He gets to deliver sermons on MSNBC.
	But thankfully, he's not entirely invulnerable.
	Sharpton testified before the Congress yesterday.
	Forty Congressman Matt Gaetz decided to ask Sharpton about all the things the left prefers to forget about.
	Here's part of it.
	Have you ever referred to African Americans who disagree with you as yellow and then the N-word?
	Thank you.
	I don't know that.
	I've referred to people as names.
	I don't know if it's because they disagree with me.
	Have you ever referred to African Americans who disagree with you as Negro militants?
	I didn't know that was a derogatory statement.
	I didn't know that was a derogatory statement.
	One of the great responses ever.
	You've got to give Sharpton credit.
	He is hilarious.
	It was so disingenuous, and this was a 20-minute sequence of Sharpton being grilled by Representative Gates, a Republican.
	But what actually went on, in my opinion, even though Reverend Al can't get three words out of his mouth straight, I mean, what did we just have?
	We had the koala today.
	Every day you can pull something out that he says is odd.
	I'll play that again for you.
	This was about President Obama with a koala.
	Here's the president meeting with a koala cue.
	A koala cue.
	So he's clearly odd.
	But in this case, he was actually, in my opinion, butt-slamming Gates, talking over him, making jokes, and he was getting most of it right.
	There was no cola cues in this one.
	So, you just heard that piece.
	Let's listen to some of the actual footage.
	I didn't know that was a derogatory statement.
	I didn't say it was.
	Just ask if you used it.
	I don't know.
	I don't recall.
	Have you ever said...
	If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.
	No, there was a man named Mordecai Levy who had been charged with some terrorist acts who threatened to march on me and several other activists in New Jersey.
	And he said he was going to come deal with my hairstyle.
	And I'm referring to his hairstyle.
	I said, for him to pin it and come on.
	I was not talking about all Jews, no.
	Well, you said those words.
	No, I said about Mordecai Levy.
	Have you said...
	I'm in hell already.
	I'm in Israel.
	Yeah, because I would have been threatened that if I came over to deal with...
	One more question.
	Well, first of all, I believe that you can deal with the decorum of the Congress, but you cannot disrespect a witness.
	You cannot ask a question and tell a witness he can't answer the question.
	He's permitted to answer a question.
	You're welcome to answer.
	How about...
	Well then, let me answer, sir.
	Let me answer, because I'm enjoying this.
	I think that you have...
	You're in a committee about policing.
	Don't get upset.
	Calm down.
	Calm down.
	You're yelling, you're yelling, you're yelling.
	Calm down.
	I think that I'm trying to answer your last question.
	The gentleman will be permitted.
	The time of the gentleman has expired.
	The witness may answer the question.
	I like that.
	Calm down, man.
	Calm down.
	You got to calm down.
	Were you misquoted in this story when you say the Jews and them referring to a plural group of people rather than one person you seem to have a grievance with?
	Am I allowed to answer?
	My name is Sharpton, not Lewandowski.
	I will answer the question if I'm allowed.
	Please.
	We know your name, sir.
	Go ahead and answer.
	And you then know that I'm going to answer.
	I was referring to an incident and a threat to come to my home by Mordecai Levy and to the homes of, I believe, Reverend Daughtry and others.
	How the examiner, I think you said, or someone else wrote, I'm not looking at it, so I do not know whether they misquoted me or not.
	I do know what I said and who I was referring to.
	Well, did you say them?
	I just said that I'm not looking at the statement.
	I do not.
	You're talking about a situation that happened in 1991.
	If I said them, the, or those, I don't know.
	I know that incident, and I know what I was referring to, and a man threatening to come to our home who had that kind of criminal record, and I had two young children, I think under five years old.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate the answer.
	Again, I'm not Lowndowski.
	Let me talk.
	I'll talk.
	I'll testify before this committee.
	So is it your belief that...
	If I said them or not, would that help or hurt excessive force of policing?
	Well, I think it's pretty significant when someone wants to come and preach to us...
	Mr.
	Chairman, point of parliamentary inquiry.
	So, I mean...
	Sharpton's a dick, but it wasn't the way Fox News and Tucker Carlson portrayed that.
	I mean, that was just...
	It was a throwaway, let's laugh at the crazy black guy.
	And I thought it was wrong.
	It was just dumb.
	And Sharpton held the upper hand throughout that entire questioning session.
	Sadly, he was good.
	He didn't have any real...
	Flubs or anything.
	That's why I watched these things in their entirety.
	I was like, well, he's kind of kicking Gates' ass.
	And, of course, you can't do this in any other testimony.
	You can't put a Republican-friendly witness there and have them talk over the questions.
	That would not last for two seconds.
	So, of course, that went on as planned.
	I think it was Nadler, actually, who was running the show.
	Yeah, Nadler.
	But that's like, go away.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, I think your point's well made.
	Well, that was the point I wanted to make.
	They're all shit.
	And Fox News loves to call everyone else mainstream while they have the number one ratings in cable news.
	So they are the mainstream.
	And they're run by Democrats.
	We know it.
	Right?
	Right?
	Right.
	I think we should talk a little bit about Brexit because I have a whole slew of clips.
	Okay, hold on one second.
	Let's go into dark mode.
	Dark mode.
	Thank you.
	Dark mode.
	We have what's going on, it seems to me.
	Well, let's start with this Brexit report from Midlands.
	This is the Midlands.
	The Sky News sent a report out to the Midlands, and they just started a man-on-the-street kind of approach, and they got very interesting results.
	This Brexit party can do quite well if they're going to do a snap election.
	So let's play that.
	For an election.
	The people decide.
	We will not vote to support the dissolution of this House and a general election.
	I think they're like spoiled children.
	It's a lot of them.
	From the high-level politics of the House of Commons to the chatter in the social clubs of Grimsby.
	No election has been officially triggered, but people here know it could soon be ballot papers, not bingo cards, that they are making their mark on.
	Rita and Paula.
	Both Grimsby.
	Both Labour.
	Until recently.
	And if there was a general election tomorrow, who would you vote for?
	I would vote to leave.
	If there was a general election tomorrow, would you vote and who would you vote for?
	I vote to get out.
	And in those answers, there is a crucial shift.
	These women aren't backing a person.
	They aren't backing a party.
	They're backing Brexit.
	I know you're saying, you know, am I worried this time?
	Genuinely, never take it for granted.
	You know, 2015 was very difficult.
	UKIP were standing and people were saying it was going to be...
	The town's Labour MP, Melanie Onn, is confident that she has faced down similar threats before.
	But as her local campaign ramps up in preparation for a possible election, her party's position on Brexit, or lack of it, is dominating on the doorstep.
	Hello, is it Simon?
	Hello, I'm Melanie On, I'm your Member of Parliament.
	Hello, this is Channel 4.
	Can I put you on the spot and ask you, what do you make of Labour's position on Brexit nationally?
	Well, it's mixed.
	I don't think there's a clear directive.
	And I think that's what's missing.
	Somebody, whoever it is, just needs to make a decision.
	Yeah, I think people are so tired over there.
	They're just like, I don't care.
	Just make a decision, whatever.
	They're browbeaten.
	They've been hammered to the ground.
	They're rudderless.
	Yeah, I'm not going to argue that.
	So, I think there's also been a change on the other side of the channel.
	Because I heard this, there's one of the members of parliament from Germany named Gunnar Beck, who gave a long spiel in German about how, with detailed numbers...
	How the Germans will be hurt by Brexit financially, and they had all kinds of facts, figures, and then he started talking in English, and he's got this screwy, posh accent that is...
	I don't know who taught him English, but it's very funny to listen to him.
	And it's not like you're a Dutch guy.
	It's different.
	It's very strange.
	And you would never think he was a German, as a matter of fact.
	But he goes on and on with some other things where he condemns the EU in the way that they've handled this.
	And so you have...
	You get to listen to this entertaining guy, and he gets the kind of responses that Farage might get.
	The UK has negotiated in good faith, perhaps rather too much faith, when it agreed to all the EU's initial demands.
	Oh, this is one of those, imagine a Nazi lieutenant with a vasectomy face.
	That's what I'm hearing.
	When I hear him talk like this, A little bit.
	What's the name of that actor that was in the Tarantino movie, the German one?
	Very famous guy.
	He reminds me of that guy.
	Yes.
	Always plays an evil kind of a character, kind of a mean German.
	Anyway, just play it on.
	You won't get that out of your head.
	The UK has negotiated in good faith.
	Perhaps rather too much faith when it agreed to all the EU's initial demands over the negotiation timetable, EU citizens' rights and the divorce bill.
	The EU responded by concocting the issue of the Irish backstop.
	But who seriously believes that sporadic or electronic customs checks would lead to the resurgence of violent terror in Ireland?
	Not even Michelle Boucher.
	Thank you.
	Or to force a referendum.
	Against the entire financial and political establishment, and against all received politically correct opinion, the British people voted to leave the EU by a majority of 52 to 48%.
	Exactly the majority by which the European Parliament confirmed EU Commission President von der Leyen.
	17.4 million British citizens voted for Brexit.
	the largest number of British people who ever voted for anything.
	Now, Michel Barnier is a shrewd and skilful negotiator, but he's trying to reduce the UK to a vessel state or alternatively is risking but he's trying to reduce the UK to a vessel state or alternatively is risking massive Either or.
	Either outcome is unacceptable.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So, this to me was very entertaining.
	You're right.
	Christoph Waltz was the actor.
	He played in Inglourious Bastards, Tarantino's movie.
	If I was British and I heard this guy speak, I'd be like, we really need Brexit.
	We cannot be a part of this.
	We can't.
	Listen to that guy.
	He triggers every World War II memory they have.
	I'm sure he does, but he thinks the EU is screwing up the deal, and he blames Barnier, who is, you know, and I think this is, again, the Germans exerting their will over the French.
	Of course.
	That's what they do.
	And it's resulted in this peculiar clip, which is, if you can understand it, but this is Juncker, Who's kind of changed his tune about everything.
	I had a meeting with Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister.
	This was a rather positive meeting, although the British press was reporting it in the other way.
	We can have a deal.
	You think we can get a deal?
	I think.
	You think that the chances are more than 50-50?
	I don't know.
	But I'm doing everything to have a deal, because I don't like the idea of no deal, because this would have catastrophic consequences.
	It's better, and for Britain, and for the European Union.
	Now, Juncker doesn't even have a say anymore.
	He's no longer the boss.
	No, he has no say.
	He's not the boss.
	But he was the guy who used to say, no.
	The deal's the deal.
	Period.
	We're not talking anymore.
	And now he's sounding like a guy who wants to...
	I think the Germans started doing...
	Their German economists started doing the math on this.
	And they didn't like what they saw.
	And I think that they're going to do anything to keep the British from, like, not really completely disconnecting, but giving pretty much what Boris Johnson wants to do...
	Yes.
	The actor, he mentions this thing about the backstop being a fake issue.
	And I think they're all right.
	I agree.
	I think backstop is a fake issue.
	Sure.
	Something is something's going to break pretty soon.
	And I don't know how it's going to go, but it sounds like everything we've been told is wrong.
	And of course, we do have one funny little thing, which is nothing to do with this particular trend.
	But I did catch on one of the BBC radio networks, John Humphreys, who's one of this masterful interviewer with this huge, beautiful voice that either one of us would be happy to have.
	He got Cameron on, and he just ripped Cameron.
	And then the only thing funny about this clip is the way Cameron...
	Cameron refuses to address the issue and goes on and on with compliments to the interviewer.
	I mean, this is like a trick that the interviewer continues.
	Humphreys doesn't put up with it, but Cameron doesn't have any real excuse for what Humphreys presents to him.
	It's three and a half years since this country voted to leave the European Union.
	In 42 days, we finally leave.
	Maybe.
	We can't even be sure of that.
	The fact is, we are still in an almighty mess.
	And the man responsible, the man whose autobiography, for the record, is being published today, is sitting opposite me.
	It was David Cameron who called the referendum.
	And this is what he told me the day before the nation voted.
	I would accept the instructions of the British people and get to work on Friday morning to deliver them.
	Mr Cameron, good morning.
	Good morning.
	That was a false promise, wasn't it?
	You misled the nation.
	Well, first of all, can I just take a moment and say thank you for 32 years of striking the fear into politicians like me every morning and asking us questions that we don't always want to answer and calling us to account.
	It's an amazing record.
	You suck-up.
	Brown-noser.
	I just thought that was funny.
	I'm thinking that there must be something financial going on, that this tune has changed, especially when the Germans, who really run the finances with the ECB and the Bundesbank, I think that something's going on that we're not aware of.
	I have total agreement.
	There is absolutely something going on, or we wouldn't have heard what we're hearing.
	Hmm.
	There is some sort of panic, and I'm not sure what it is, but somebody...
	I'm still thinking it's the negative interest rates.
	I mean, everyone pooh-poohs it when I say it, but there's something wrong here.
	Well, there's something wrong.
	That's for sure.
	There's a lot wrong.
	There's a lot wrong, yeah.
	Which I think they just lowered the negative interest rates even more.
	The Yitzke Bank, which is, what is that, Iceland?
	Or Norway?
	I don't remember which one.
	Yeah, it's bad.
	Well, we're coming down to the wire.
	It's getting there, and it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
	But I just want to show everyone who listens to this show, one of the few podcasts that actually tracks this important event.
	And I think something's changing, and it's going to be us that figures it out.
	Well, somehow, yeah, and I think that this overnight interbank lending rate has something to do with it.
	This is, you know, that the Fed is injecting all this cash, you know, the repo.
	I mean, there's a whole bunch of words.
	You know, I've got the former New York banker keeps sending me articles about it.
	You know, we're expecting Goldman Sachs to be the victim of it.
	I don't know.
	It doesn't seem healthy, what's happening.
	What do we know?
	We're just a bunch of podcasters.
	We're the podcasting, but we're the best.
	In the universe.
	Some unhoused news, as Austin, Texas, since I'm here, and we are kind of at ground zero of the homeless...
	This problem, which is taking place not just in the United States, it's happening everywhere now.
	And, of course, it's been in places like South America and India.
	There's all kinds of problems with homeless, but you wouldn't expect it from the shining, the beating heart of Texas, Austin.
	So there was a council meeting.
	You know, I keep you up to speed on this, John.
	Another city council meeting, and they were all going to sit down and discuss restricting comping in certain areas of downtown and the west campus of the University of Texas.
	And they could not come to agreement.
	In fact, Mayor Adler, Kitchen, I think her name is, and the pro tempura mayor, Garza, I just love saying that, They were all for changing these restrictions, which would mean, of course, that people might leave those areas of downtown.
	Where did they go?
	Well, you can imagine what happened.
	They did not vote on it, did not come to a decision, have delayed until the October 17th meeting.
	There are a couple things I need to say about this.
	First, here's a statement from Austin City Council member Jimmy Flanagan, who we haven't heard from.
	I have not followed him at all.
	He's District 6.
	And this guy's interesting.
	He's young.
	I'd say he's squarely millennial, but in his early 30s.
	He likes to do the jazz hands when people clap.
	No, no, no.
	Don't do that.
	Do this.
	Do this.
	Otherwise, he'll be here all day.
	He's not even saying it for people getting triggered by cheering and clapping.
	He just doesn't want them to interrupt him.
	Okay, that's interesting.
	And he also talks like Ben Shapiro, which I think is a huge appeal to a certain subset here in Austin, Texas.
	And he does say some things which are not entirely stupid.
	I'm blown away!
	I'm sure you're familiar with the phrase, lipstick on a pig.
	I am incredibly frustrated by this process.
	Nobody wants to see the camping.
	I don't want to see the camping.
	My constituents don't want to see the camping.
	We've got to stay focused.
	Stick to this, y'all.
	It'll get us through the day faster.
	Nobody wants to see it.
	I don't want to see it.
	I know you all don't want to see it.
	This is his tempo.
	This is not sped up.
	Come on, you sped this up.
	No, I did not.
	I took it straight from video.
	I did not speed this up.
	This is how the guy talks.
	People who listen to this podcast on two times speed will be tripping out.
	But we have to stay focused on how we're going to solve it.
	I don't believe that we are going to solve this as a council, 11 of us inventing policy from the dais.
	We hired experts to do this for us.
	Our new homeless strategy officer has been on the job for a week.
	We need to use the resources that we are creating.
	We didn't bring a homeless strategy officer from Austin.
	We brought her from a community where it was working, where the solutions were being implemented, where progress was being made.
	A resolution posted to the message board 45 minutes ago is insufficient for me, insufficient for the public, I think.
	This is not going to be a problem that's solved overnight, and it is not going to be a problem we solve from the dias.
	I am committed, as we are all committed, to getting this problem managed and not talking about ending homelessness, which is a phrase with a very difficult assessment.
	And even the troll room is saying, this is not sped up.
	This is straight from video from Austin City Council.
	I don't think they're in the business of speeding up, and it's just not.
	But talking about...
	Stick to it, y'all, really.
	But saying what our specific metrics are.
	Mayor, I'm glad that you brought up the federal definition.
	A situation where the wait list for housing is 60 days or less.
	That makes sense to me.
	The other thing that's important for us to remember as we go through this process, the camping bans are what broke the West Coast.
	They banned camping in certain parts of town, which moved it to other parts of town, which then moved it to other parts of town, then moved it to other parts of town.
	And by the time it got so big, there was literally nowhere left for anybody to be, you couldn't possibly spend enough money to solve it.
	We are not there yet.
	We are years away from there.
	But as Councilmember Ria noticed or mentioned, these solutions have been offered to this community in years past and have been rejected.
	And if you want to see some crazy council meetings, go watch the video of San Francisco or LA council meetings where they talk about homelessness.
	Those communities are angry because they should have solved it 5-10 years ago.
	That's what we are going to do.
	That's what I know we can do is we can develop the metric.
	The end game metric is the 60 days.
	We can create a middle point metric.
	I like the idea of a midpoint metric as we can start to clarify where people can be as we identify where they can be.
	We are identifying where they can't be.
	That's what we have to do.
	That's what I'm committed to do.
	Exempting certain parts of town and not other parts of town street by street is not something I'm satisfied with.
	I cannot justify to my constituents how streets in one district are exempted but streets in my district aren't.
	So I don't think that we're going to get there.
	We have allocated the resources.
	We have made historic investments.
	We need to rely on the experts to help solve this problem.
	I know it sounds weird, but I did not speed the guy.
	Hold on a second.
	I did not speed him up.
	This is what happens to anybody who listens to stuff that's sped up.
	Yeah, exactly.
	This is what it results in.
	You listen to podcasts at one and a half or two times speed.
	This is what happens to you.
	Yeah.
	Dang.
	He sounds like a sped up audio track.
	And the thing is, even with sped up audio tracks you have this, he's very understandable.
	I know, so is Ben Shapiro.
	Yeah, Shapiro's very understandable.
	It's like, why are you talking so fast, dude?
	Now, what the guy said is very interesting.
	They have indeed hired a homeless strategy officer, a woman from Orlando.
	And I know about this because I finally had my sit-down talk with Alan Graham, the CEO of Mobile Loaves and Fishes Community First Village, which I've been talking about, which I went to see.
	It's about an hour and 15 minutes.
	I tweeted out the link.
	You can find it.
	It's a no agenda additional thing that I like to do from time to time.
	There's really no benefit to playing any of the clips because you have to listen to it as a whole.
	But you listen to his philosophy and what will really work, and the main takeaway that I got from him, which plays into this, is one, he says, if I had a nickel for every person that came up to me and said, you know, what you're doing here is really great, and I'm liberal, I really like this, but you have to do it somewhere else.
	He says that not in my backyard or NIMBY in Austin is outrageous.
	And particularly from, he says, liberal people who have compassion, they love the idea, love it, but just don't want it near them.
	And so when you want to ban camping in certain areas of downtown, all the other districts go, well, why here?
	Well, I don't want it over here!
	When the real issue is that you cannot fix broken people.
	They're broken.
	They need to be reintroduced into a community.
	And the actual numbers, according to Alan Graham, but also he does have access to the homelessness database and all this information that the city maintains, there's really 1,200 chronically homeless people Maybe as much as 2,000 who have been on the streets unhoused for a year or more.
	He says all the rest are transient.
	And in fact, to me it makes sense that, and I joke about it, but you should really chip these people or have some way to consistently identify.
	They do have databases that work pretty well.
	If you have not registered, yeah, I don't give a shit.
	I mean, I want to help people.
	Yeah, we heard that.
	We heard you.
	Mr.
	OTG? Hey, these people are not OTG. Most of them got smartphones.
	So don't start with me.
	The transients need to get the hell out.
	Go away.
	I don't care what you're doing here.
	Do you want to be an Austinite?
	You want to live in Austin?
	Okay, there are ways to help you.
	Community First Village is already housing 230 people, and starting in January, they'll onboard 10 more people a week, and they will have an additional 500, bringing up to about 750 people, running this currently on $6 million a year.
	I mean, they spent three times as much as that just on their stupid meetings.
	So it's very frustrating to see things that are working, people that are way out, they have their own community, they can still access Austin and everything it has to offer.
	It's working perfectly, but everybody else here is talking about, we need to deal with housing, but not around here!
	Put it over there!
	They're a bunch of dickwads and a-holes, assholes.
	There is stuff that's actually working, and the city of Austin has no desire to even look into it.
	So, sadly, unless a lot of people start getting into it, and I'll be one of them, I'm going to campaign as much as I can and do as much as possible What the mayor is doing and the leaders, the elected representatives, the city council is not going to work.
	This will turn into San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc.
	Smaller scale because we just don't have that many people, but it will be bad and we've seen really the increase of visibility of homeless is just, it's doubled.
	And there are solutions, but these people have no desire to look at anything that works.
	And it's kind of a not-invented-here syndrome.
	I'm not quite sure what's wrong with them.
	And the people of Austin yell and shout and scream at these town halls.
	They're not doing anything either.
	They're a bunch of phony hypocrites.
	That's all I had to say.
	Go listen to the interview I did with Alan Gray.
	I should play the Pet Peeve jingle for you.
	Well, this will be my new Pet Peeve.
	I don't see Curry's Pet Peeve of the day.
	Bay, wars, yes it's your bay.
	Wars, wars on the bay.
	Being the cigarette.
	Pew, pew, pew!
	Update on the vape wars.
	I have some new information.
	New shit has come to light, man.
	I got a very interesting note from, he will have to remain anonymous, and a verified, I verified, insider in the vaping industry regarding the deaths that have taken place.
	And I learned something interesting.
	There is an additional type of e-liquid, e-juice, that is based on nicotine salts.
	I was unaware of this, and I had to really delve in to understand what was going on.
	But this is, in fact, what Juul uses.
	Nicotine salt is a product that you can flavor easily.
	It will vaporize.
	It vaporizes at a much lower wattage.
	And it injects a much, or it infuses a much higher level of nicotine into the bloodstream.
	Way higher than the stuff that I've been vaping for years.
	And this is what Juul found out.
	This is their, really their secret sauce.
	The problem is...
	Actually, the benefit to the nicotine salts is they can put it in this little capsule and use this low-powered battery that is the Juul.
	And the Juul is not a very powerful device compared to what I'm using, what other people who vape use, which is, you know, you've got a pretty decent stick and that's a big battery.
	The danger comes in when kids get hooked on Juul, they're smoking these nicotine or they're inhaling the nicotine salts, They run out of money because Juul is expensive and they can't really go back to the non-nicotine salt vape.
	So then they start putting that nicotine salt into their high-powered sub-ohm vapes and you do not want to vaporize nicotine salts at very high temperature.
	Apparently, that may be something that is really bad to your health.
	Of course, we're not going to talk about this because Juul needs to get all their ducks in a row and get cleared by FDA before this news comes out.
	So take that for what it's worth.
	It's different from what Justin the drug dealer said, but I think it's believable.
	I like it.
	I think it's the most interesting thing so far.
	And then, just right on time, as we predicted would happen with all of this, you remember our big tobacco advertiser insider said all of this vaping is just until they get the non-combustible heated tobacco devices approved.
	Do you remember this from a show or two ago?
	It may have been the last show.
	It may be the last show.
	Well, there it is.
	FDA clears Philip Morris' IQOS. I don't know.
	It's KoalaQ?
	IQOS. As Altria prepares to sell the heated tobacco device in the U.S. And that apparently is really Philip Morris' endgame.
	They do not want to give up the tobacco business.
	They don't want to just go to nicotine.
	They don't really own that business.
	They want the tobacco business to roll.
	And so now they have this heated tobacco, which doesn't actually burn it.
	Okay, so what you're saying, this is, of course, I'm not a smoker, so I can't keep up with any of it.
	But I will say this, from a chemical standpoint, or a chemistry standpoint, the tobacco must then, therefore, be treated with something to make it vapable, because otherwise, why don't you just take a bunch of chewing tobacco and stick it in a In a vaporizer and then charge it up and breathe the vape.
	I don't know anything about this technology, but this news literally came out today that the FDA has cleared this.
	I'd love to hear from somebody about the chemistry because there's got to be something.
	And we've known kind of or suspected that much of the problems with Tobacco or the chemicals that they add to the To the tobacco itself, so it burns longer, it has a nicer ash, there's all these things.
	And those things are not healthy.
	Well, this is exactly the point of the nicotine salts, is the big tobacco found out that once you start adding ammonia and stuff like that to the tobacco, the nicotine that is actually taken into the bloodstream is a much higher level because of these additives they put in there.
	So it's still all a nicotine delivery device.
	That's what everybody's looking for.
	And I can understand why the tobacco guys want to keep their tobacco business going.
	But here's what I found odd.
	Is the branding.
	Altria will start selling...
	Listen, it's little I, capital Q-O-S. First of all, how am I pronouncing this?
	I-Q-O-S, I-Q-O-S, I-Q-O-S. I don't understand how to pronounce it.
	That's the heated device.
	And they're going to sell mobile versions that kind of fit in your pocket.
	Marlboro branded heat sticks.
	They're literally going to call them heat sticks.
	This is the death knell.
	You don't call your cigarette replacement a heat stick.
	I don't know what they're thinking.
	Well, they do research, you know.
	They got the money to do it.
	They got tons of dough.
	Yeah, I'd like to know about the non-combustible tobacco.
	They just heat it up.
	I like the vaping.
	It's fine.
	The vaping was good for me.
	What is this nicotine salt stuff?
	No one needed to do this.
	So that's your Vapor update.
	I don't know if we're any wiser after it, but at least we know that...
	You created more questions than you answered.
	I'm sorry.
	I really try to do my best.
	But I guess the bottom line is...
	What we're hearing from the THC side may not be the ultimate culprit of five deaths, which of course is two less than people dying from eating Tide Pods, but hey, it's the conversation, so we like to stay on top of it.
	Yeah, and something like 400,000 less than people smoking cigarettes.
	Ah, what's in a number?
	So let's...
	You know what?
	No, no, no, no.
	Let's do nothing.
	We've got to take a break.
	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.
	Well, we do have a few people to thank for show 1175, which is getting up to show 1200, which is going to be a big deal.
	Starting with Marcus Muller, $117.50.
	He's in Deutschland.
	Dame Nurse Caitlin.
	Oh, Nurse Caitlin.
	I haven't heard from her in a while, I think.
	Yeah, she showed up a few months back.
	In Goldsboro, North Carolina, she has $111.33.
	She does have a note with a call-out.
	Dame Nurse Caitlin, the flat earth.
	Finally checking in after a bit of a hiatus.
	My listening slacked off over the last year or so after losing my mom to cancer, losing my grandfather, and dad's house burning down.
	I've been back in my routine for a few weeks and loved the show as much as ever.
	In fact, my brother, who is also a listener, and I were planning to attend the Eastern North Carolina meetup.
	In Garner today, but some things prevented us from going there.
	Anyway, she wishes them well.
	We missed the meetup.
	It seems like a donation was needed.
	She wants a F-cancer.
	But she also needs to call her brother, Trey Williams, out as a douchebag.
	I'll give you an F-cancer at the end of this list.
	Nils Bonnaker in Hamburg, Deutschland.
	$111.11.
	Justin Johnson, $100.
	Kevin Thomas, $100.
	Charles Bennett, $100.
	McCall, Idaho.
	Sir Pat Deary in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, $100.
	Sophia Pandelea.
	She was complaining, I believe, about not having...
	We need a South Bay meet-up.
	And I said to her, no, yes, we do.
	We do.
	We need one.
	Yeah, that's Sophia.
	She's in San Jose.
	Ian Field, 100.
	Matt McGregor, 99.
	Brian Burgess, 95, in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota.
	Pelicans in Minnesota, okay.
	William Alston in Baltimore, Maryland, 91-19.
	So we have a continuation with one, two, three, four more of the 91-19 guys.
	Ryan Smith, Raleigh, Stephen Hightower, and Eric Mackey.
	And our Maquis.
	All with 9119.
	Ronald Schull 8008. Kevin McLaughlin Earl of Luna at 8008.
	Locust, North Carolina.
	Sir Jonathan of the Double Bladed Paddle.
	And Lost Wages, Nevada.
	Hey, 7373 is my man's a ham.
	73, 73, 73.
	Does he have his call letters?
	Yes.
	Kilo Echo Zero, India Hotel Tango.
	Double-bladed paddles means he's using ambit keys.
	He's a Morse code CW operator.
	Yeah, he's a Morse code guy.
	He's a CW. Baronet surfing.
	It would be fun to get good with one of those.
	I was doing about 15 words a minute for a while there with a double-bladed paddle.
	You've got to keep it up, though.
	You'll lose it real quick if you don't practice.
	Yeah, you should probably have to practice daily.
	Yeah.
	Baronet Sir Phenom in Appleton, Wisconsin, 69-68.
	Chris Baylor in Grafton, Wisconsin, also in Wisconsin, 67-89.
	Michael McIntyre in Boulder Creek.
	Maxwell.
	Maxwell McIntyre.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Maxwell McIntyre.
	What did I say?
	You said Michael.
	Oh.
	In Boulder Creek, California, 6666.
	Help Greta or other deserving recipients to the round table.
	He thought this would be a good promotion.
	In this case, maybe he doesn't have anyone else to help with a damehood or knighthood, so he wants to attribute it to Greta.
	But we've seen this a couple of times in the recent past, where people, even people who have peerage, want to help others get their ring.
	And I think it's an interesting idea, and I encourage it, actually.
	Baskar Dandona in Birmingham, Great Britain.
	5555.
	And he has a note.
	Go podcasting!
	Mary Lutz in Gaylord, Michigan, 55-55.
	She has first-time donor, 55-55, in recognition of my birthday.
	She's 55th today on the 22nd.
	My husband Jeff and I have been long-time boners, so we need a dedouching.
	We can do that.
	Oops, there we go.
	You've been dedouched.
	And the jobs karma coming up in a moment for you.
	Thank you so much.

	Okay.
	You've been dedouched.
	He's got a number of commentaries there about...
	Well, this is your Yemeni ISO, which means grace of Almighty God, I think, or ask for God's blessing.
	Yes, thank you.
	We got the translation.
	Appreciate it.
	5150, Levelin, Texas.
	From Sir Jackson, Knight of the Transistors.
	Shannon Adkins, 5050.

	Beit Shemesh, Israel, as a matter of fact.
	Thomas Tollett in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
	Sir, fuck that guy.
	I didn't know we had that night there.
	Hey, fuck that guy.
	He's here.
	Jan Osephius in Oostvorn.
	I think it's Osephuis.
	Jan Osephuis in Oostvorn.
	Let's try that one.
	Okay.
	Carlos Pacina, parts unknown.
	Jeffrey Fields in New Brownfells, Texas.
	Used to use a hondo grill from New Brownfells Company.
	Hamish Patterson, Christopher Baker, Robert Case in Mill Spring, North Carolina.

	Sir Eric, Baron of the Valley, 50.
	Sir Alan Bowes, Baron of BC, 50.
	And then Daniel LaBoye from Bath, Michigan.
	That's in front of Sir Patrick Maycomb in New York.
	Unless I'm skipping over this.
	This is anonymous.
	I think my spreadsheet will not read wherever it is that wrote that war and peace note.
	Well, it's anonymous from Boynton Beach, Florida, and it is a very long note about OTG. But, you know, we really can't be playing jingles.
	Certainly that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, we do that in our first segment.
	But thank you very much for your support.
	We appreciate it.
	Yes.
	And the last one?
	I think I printed that note out.
	There's something in there I wanted to read.
	And Sir Patrick Maycomb in New York City is our last well-wisher and producer for show 1175.
	I want to thank him especially.
	Yes, and thank you to everybody under that amount.
	A lot of you came in and helped with $49.99.
	Anything under the $50, of course, is kept anonymous.
	We appreciate that.
	And we have our subscriptions, which is a baseline, and we really love people to continue and sign up for it if you haven't already.
	So these people and our executive producers and associate executive producers really made this show come alive.
	Thank you.
	And remember, we'll be doing it on Thursday.
	All you have to do is go to...
	Okay, lots of F cancers and job karmas and moving karmas.
	Before you go on, I do want to read one more note.
	This is what came in from Matthew, Matt from Sydney.
	He sent in 152 Australian dollar rats, which amounted to nothing.
	He said he also needs health cover for his wife, who's about to undergo spinal surgery, removing a disc and spurs in the neck and spinal fusion.
	Okay.
	And just on a related note, I'll read this.
	Bernie Sanders is full of it, he says.
	Okay.
	We have socialized medicine in Australia, and the operation is still costing a fortune, including a random $1,100 out-of-pocket admin fee we had to pay to the surgeon the other day.
	This is despite paying a mandatory $5,000 a year to be in the health fund.
	Nice.
	Okay.
	And Hamish Patterson was brand new, needed dedouching.
	So here we go.
	You've been dedouched.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You saw.
	Karma.
	And we're rounding out the month of September.
	It is the 22nd today.
	Here's our list of birthdays.
	We say happy birthday to Sam Godwin.
	Nathan Miller Foster celebrating today.

	It's your birthday, yeah!
	Come gather round douchebag, producer and slave.
	As we all thank your brothers and sisters who gave us some of them night.
	Some of them slaves.
	Well, we've got a longer jingle than we do title changes, but Sir Robert Classen becomes Sir Robert, Shining Baron of Lapland, and congratulations to you, sir.
	And then we have a couple of, let me see, we have one, two, we've got three knights and one daming to do, so I'll grab this blade if I can have you.
	Here you go, here's the big one.
	Beautiful!
	Very nice.
	Up on stage here, Lawrence Yadjo, Lee Scarbeck, Nathan Miller Foster, and Sir Alex, who never got his proper knighting, all four of you, are about to enter the illustrious group that we call the No Agenda Knights and Dames of the Round Table.
	Thanks to your support of the show and the amount of $1,000 or more, it is highly appreciated.
	So hereby I pronounce the KD... Dame Laura, Sir Prime Mover, Sir Nathan Lee, and Sir Alex, the Knights of the Northern Launchpad.
	For you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys, and Chardonnay.
	We've got Kona Coffee and Maui Waui, Reindeer and Cloudberries.
	We've got Sparkling Cider and Escorts, Ginger Ale and Gerbils, Breast Milk and Pablum, and of course, there's Mutton and Mead.
	So, all of you, welcome to this exclusive group of the No Agenda Knights and Dames.
	And to make it official, go over to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	And Eric the Shill will make sure you get your rings as soon as possible.
	Quick meet-up reports from the Portland Local 33 meet-up.
	Greetings, Podfather.
	Here's our meet-up report for Oregon Local 33.
	Another great one.
	A great time getting together with eight fellow slaves at Noodles& Co.
	Not the favorite venue so far, but still a rich time of amygdala alignment.
	We had a rousing round of No Agenda Wheel of Fortune.
	Everybody went home a winner to put one more meal of mac and cheese, which was the contestant prizes.
	Although he says, I thought we were in trouble right off the start, given the sign on the door.
	And this was a printed sign, and he sent me a picture, and it says, quote, this is from Noodles.
	Okay, Noodles, Noodle Boy, remember what kind of crazy people work at Noodles?
	Short on staff, order maybe, coming out late, maybe spelled M-A-Y-B-E, maybe.
	Order maybe, coming out late.
	Sorry for the inconvenient.
	Signed the noodles team.
	Those are the people that are bitching about that they should be a part of management.
	Sorry for the inconvenient.
	Not inconvenience.
	Inconvenient.
	One of the highlights of the evening may well be the discovery of our next meetup and topic slash venue, which is axe-throwing.
	And that is scheduled for October 25th.
	Then we had a quick report from Nelson, British Columbia.
	From Matt Burns organized a meet-up there in the morning, Adam.
	Last night we had the first Nelson, BC meet-up.
	A total of six guys showed up, which for a small city of 10,000 I consider a great success.
	Actually, it's kind of good.
	Conversation flowed.
	Everyone got along well.
	We were relatively trigger-free.
	Onerous BC liquor laws interfered with the group sitting together for a time.
	All resolved quickly, though.
	Thanks to the government of British Columbia for protecting us.
	Is there something I don't know about?
	You can't drink in a group in British Columbia?
	Well, with any minors?
	I don't know.
	I don't think so.
	Usually, you have some issues there.
	Four of six are douchebags, so a call-out would be much appreciated.
	Douchebags!
	We exchanged contact details, and I'm already planning the next meetup.
	Thank you for your courage, Matt Burns.
	And because we've already gone so long today, I'll do the full list and the organizers...
	Outside of this weekend, I'll do it on Thursday's show.
	Do you use the Mimi script or are you using the list there?
	I have the Mimi script.
	That's why.
	It's really long.
	So I'm saying I'll do...
	She's trying to cut it down as much as she can, she says.
	Yeah, because you moaned about it.
	So, yes.
	And I agree.
	That's why I'm going to do just this weekend and then Thursday we'll do the rest.
	Sunday, that's today.
	Arlington, Virginia, that's at noon today.
	So, oops, you're late.
	I already missed it.
	Cafe Pisaglio in Sherlington.
	Bill Patterson, your host.
	Maybe they're listening to it stream live.
	And then an impromptu meetup just added for Monday...
	That's at Doraville, Georgia, 5.33, local time there.
	Baldino's Giant Jersey Subs.
	Andy is organizing his 33rd birthday there and a meetup, so please join him.
	And I'll just throw in Thursday the 26th, even though there's a show day, Las Vegas, Nevada.
	At Hooters Casino, Pete Kockanis is your host.
	That'll be at 5 o'clock.
	Also on Thursday, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, 7 o'clock Central European Summertime.
	I had Brasserie Seppel and Stay Woke is your host.
	And again, these meetups, which soon will be on the air, meetups on the air with the No Agenda Hams, are really a lot of fun.
	And you can see from the pictures that people are posting and tweeting that it's doing incredible good for their overall amygdala health.
	And we appreciate that.
	I forgot what meetup this was, but Mimi was talking to her about it.
	She said, the guy's complaining.
	He says there's only 19 people that showed up.
	Holy crap, that's a great meetup.
	It's a great meetup.
	19?
	You're not going to get to talk to everybody.
	You already have too many.
	My goodness, that's a great meetup.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the whole point is just to go meet people, make human connections.
	You can't just be sitting at home, listening to your podcast on double speed, thinking that you're going to heal yourself from all the nastiness in the world.
	You've got to get out there!
	Did we do everything?
	Did I get them all?
	Am I missing something?
	I feel like I'm missing something.
	I did knights and dames, titles, birthday meetups.
	Good.
	Okay.
	A lot of administration.
	But running no agenda nation is no small task.
	Alright, well, we're pretty much wrapping pretty soon.
	I do have one last thing I just wanted to play.
	Though it's not something to leave on.
	We might want to have something funnier.
	Alright, I have something kind of funny.
	But I'll play this first.
	This is from, of course, a podcast because you can't really get anything good on mainstream anymore.
	This is from the Reason podcast.
	They had an FBI whistleblower on.
	And one of the things we always talk about here is the so-called six-week cycle.
	And we were told by an insider many years ago, the FBI, in order to keep their budgets going, they have to have some event that happens every six weeks.
	And it's good if it's terrorism because then that keeps them funded and keeps everybody happy.
	This whistleblower talked about that very thing.
	And again, even among those radical Muslims, only a tiny fraction of them would ever do something violent.
	And part of it is that because we've built this counterterrorism apparatus, we have to have terrorists.
	So there has been this impulse to manufacture terrorism where they'll find somebody who doesn't have friends or otherwise has some deficit in their ability to socialize or is angry at something.
	And the undercover operation is designed to turn them into a terrorist, to give them weapons.
	Those are the types of things that we never would have done before 2001.
	And this, I mean, we read news reports about this all the time.
	And I mean, this also goes back to the 60s and agents provocateur.
	You know, it was a joke in the 60s that if somebody, whoever was calling to bomb stuff, that was the FBI agent in the mix, right?
	Right.
	And, you know, there was the reform after the 1976 Church Committee.
	So I was operating in that element where if I had suggested to the FBI headquarters that I wanted to open a terrorism undercover operation targeting somebody who wasn't part of a terrorist group, didn't have a terrorist plan and didn't have any weapons, they would have sent me for counseling.
	Come on.
	And unfortunately, that is a common tactic now.
	And so we're finding these marginalized people rather than looking at organized criminal behavior that can actually be much more dangerous because we have 17,000 homicides in this country each year.
	And the solve rate has gone down with, you know.
	Back in the 90s, there were a whole lot more homicides, but we actually solved more of them.
	Now we solve less of them, and I think it's because we're in this prevention mode where we're out there searching for things rather than focusing on actual crimes that are happening.
	And they said we were crazy, John.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	There it is.
	That was a good clip.
	I mean, it's not...
	I'll give you a borderline on that, actually.
	It's a pretty good clip.
	Thanks.
	He doesn't actually mention the six weeks, but he does everything else there.
	So, yes, I'll take it.
	Thank you.
	It's just something people should know.
	Yeah, you should know this, definitely.
	And I have actually two clips.
	Oh, good.
	Good, good, good.
	Let's start with – the one is that got me kind of like, what the hell?
	Trying to make a story out of nothing, especially here in California.
	This is a local story on Ben Carson, who apparently they're trying to make sound like some sort of a trend because there's a big thing now about – Hating on the transgenders.
	And Carson was...
	I mean, the medical doctor said, man, you know, if your gender is female, that was not acceptable, I guess, that he said that?
	No, he actually didn't even say much of anything, but he did imply that he didn't think it was a good idea for big, hairy guys, is the way he described them.
	Oh, there's your problem.
	Big, hairy dudes would be in the women's bathroom because they felt like they're women.
	And so they made a big stink about it locally here.
	And here's a classic, typical report.
	And they don't really have any evidence to back themselves up, but they do the report anyway.
	Tonight, the nation's top housing official catching some heat for comments he made allegedly about transgender people while visiting San Francisco.
	According to the Washington Post, HUD Secretary Ben Carson expressed concern about, quote, big hairy men coming into women's homeless shelters.
	The Post reports he also said he is unhappy that society no longer seems to know the difference between men and women.
	Carson visited HUD's San Francisco office this week.
	People who were there tell the paper that many were shocked.
	A HUD spokesperson told the Post, quote, the secretary does not use derogatory language to refer to transgendered individuals.
	Any reporting to the contrary is false.
	Oh, he made a boo-boo.
	So he says, I think it's a bad idea that big hairy men go into the women's shelters, homeless shelters, obviously they're after something, and somehow people heard this comment and were shocked.
	They were shocked.
	Because he's calling the immediate conclusion is he's calling one of the most vulnerable classes of people in the country, the transgendered women, big hairy dudes.
	That's all they could focus on.
	I guess.
	And it's actually worse with the focusing because I have a clip from Trump in New Mexico where he just goes off the rails with his ad libs and starts doing his bit.
	Which is pretty lively in the New Mexico speech.
	And he goes off and starts yakking about one thing.
	And they all say, oh, he hates the Hispanics.
	And this is the perfect example of why.
	And he's really being kind of kind.
	In fact, if they wanted to, and I don't understand why they don't do this.
	If you take what you're going to hear next, which is Trump in New Mexico, and if you could pull out anything from it, if you wanted to condemn Trump, you could say that Trump hates America.
	In New Mexico, President Trump falsely declared at a campaign rally Monday that Latinos support his border wall, proclaiming, quote, we love our Hispanics.
	During the rally in Rio Rancho, Trump pointed to Steve Cortez, a former paid on-air contributor at CNN and member of Trump's 2020 campaign committee.
	He happens to be Hispanic.
	He happens to be Hispanic, but I've never quite figured it out because he looks more like a wasp than I do.
	Nobody loves the Hispanics more.
	What do you like more, the country or the Hispanics?
	He says, the country?
	I don't know.
	I may have to go for the Hispanics, to be honest with you.
	We got a lot of Hispanics.
	We love our Hispanics.
	In response, the progressive political group Latino Victory tweeted, this is racist, this is xenophobic, this is the type of rhetoric that led to the biggest anti-Latino massacre in modern history, unquote.
	What?
	Hold on.
	Latino massacre?
	You're talking about the El Paso shooting?
	Oh, and that's what led to it?
	Oh, people.
	Can't joke around anymore.
	Oh my goodness.
	But I, again, I think Trump could be condemned for hating America because he said right there that he likes Hispanics more than he likes the country.
	Well, no.
	He did, well, since you're going to bring it up, he did something the other day, which is another one of my pet peeves.
	I've always heard the most important thing a president does.
	I disagree with this, by the way, but that's okay.
	I disagree with a lot of things.
	Because I think the most important thing is our military and protecting our country.
	No, I disagree.
	It is to protect, defend, uphold the Constitution.
	That's the job.
	I don't like it.
	Well, at least he said our country, not the country.
	He said our country, you're right, and he said a lot of people disagree, so he's aware of what he's saying.
	But remember, it's not our country, it's this country and our democracy.
	That's what some people would like to believe when there's no democracy involved.
	But okay.
	End of show mixes.

	He wants to take it back.
	I see people turn their heads and quickly look He'd get more sympathy if he came out as gay.
	Justin Trudeau has become the first Canadian Prime Minister to march in a gay pride parade.
	John's going to be performing.

	This is a recorder.
	Oh.

	I don't know how anyone plays this thing.
	I gotta get a little book on it.
	They're even complimenting your recorder playing today.
	That hurts.
	Someone's gonna say, this guy's an idiot.
	Best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo.
