	He just took art from Spongebob and put head in!
	It's Thursday, September 26th, 2019.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 1176.
	This is no agenda.
	Impeach we must!
	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 the weather's finally turned normal for one day, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	What was it?
	You mean today's normal?
	It seems to be the fog is semi-in, but not totally in.
	It's cooler.
	It was 100 yesterday.
	100 in the Bay Area is not something to sneeze at.
	That's not typical for you guys.
	That's Texas weather.
	It's Texas weather, but only lasts for a very short time because it creates an influx of sea breeze.
	If I'm not mistaken, most people don't have air conditioning in the Bay Area.
	And indeed, you're not mistaken.
	Would you be one of those people, Mr.
	Dvorak?
	I don't mind 100 degree temperatures, as long as the humidity is reasonable.
	Now, does the smell of the poop waft through that hot air and just enhance the experience?
	It doesn't quite get to the East Bay where I am.
	Oh, that's too bad.
	I'm sure San Francisco stunk up.
	The place stunk.
	Stunk.
	It just stunk to high heaven, I tell you, how much it stunk.
	Although it does dry out the poop, but then when the poop is dried out, then it's friable, meaning it can be turned into dust, and it gets turned into dust, and then it gets in the air, and then people breathe the desiccated poop.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	You get all kinds of diseases that way.
	Well, you know why it's 100 degrees, I don't have to tell you.
	Global warming.
	Yes, yes, of course.
	It's all perfectly timed.
	Perfectly timed for Greta's arrival, for Greta's speeches.
	Hold on a second, I just lost my entire show prep outline for some reason.
	What happened here?
	So I thought there was a lot going on.
	Well, I have a couple of clips about...
	Do you really want to start with Greta or do you want to get the most obvious bullcrap out of the way?
	Well, what's the most obvious bullcrap if it doesn't involve Greta?
	The whole Zelensky call that Trump had and the impeachment.
	This is...
	I mean, everything got wiped off.
	Let's do the global warming first.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I mean...
	The other thing is kind of, it's a curious dead end and a charade of some sort.
	I mean, it's just designed to get people, you know, hating on Trump so they don't vote for him.
	I also believe, well, okay, now that we're stuck...
	Well, hold on.
	Let me just open the segment.
	We're getting greater all the time.
	Greta, Greta, getting so much better all the time.
	I have a feeling that'll be used a lot in the coming few weeks.
	It could be.
	It could be.
	All right.
	I have a clip from another Greta clone.
	Well, actually, it's not even really a Greta clone.
	But I want to play this clip.
	This is another person at the summit.
	This is a very famous...
	I think she's 13.
	And she started at 9.
	She's very much in the same lines as Greta.
	And here she is.
	Severn Cullis Suzuki at the Climate Summit.
	We've raised all the money to come here ourselves.
	To come 5,000 miles to tell you adults you must change your ways.
	Coming up here today, I have no hidden agenda.
	I am fighting for my future.
	Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market.
	I am here to speak for all generations to come.
	I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.
	I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go.
	I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in our ozone.
	I'm afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it.
	Now, you may try to pull a fast one on the producers, but you're not going to pull it on this podcaster.
	I know what's up with that clip.
	It's from 1992.
	I know.
	I had a different version of it.
	Was it the same thing?
	Let me hear.
	Let me just check this.
	Hello.
	I just had applause.
	Yeah, 1992.
	It was a good year for abusing kids.
	And she was, she's still in the business.
	You know, her parents, again, the same thing.
	One of the parents is an environmentalist and trained her, and she started at nine.
	And she's still out there.
	You can look her up.
	She has a wiki page called Severn Kolasuzuki.
	She was born in 79.
	That was in 92, so she was 13.
	And it was just the same thing with the same similar types of parents as Greta.
	I think probably a little more together than Greta, a little less psycho.
	Can I just say something?
	You can do it as you wish.
	I personally, I don't want to disparage the kid.
	I mean, 16-year-old kids are morons.
	They don't know what they're doing.
	Well, at least she's 16 now.
	This other girl was 13, and she was actually sounding better.
	Well, I'm just making my own personal policy.
	I consider this a very insulting, naive, and I don't know who wrote this for her, but I think they went overboard with And this is her speech, the UN speech completely, from beginning to, or there may have been an intro at the beginning that you did not catch, but this is it.
	You should play it, and we can just at least say hello, Greta.
	This is all wrong.
	I shouldn't be up here.
	I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean.
	Yet you all come to us young people for hope.
	How dare you?
	You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet I'm one of the lucky ones.
	People are suffering.
	People are dying.
	Entire ecosystems are collapsing.
	We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.
	How dare you?
	For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear.
	How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you're doing enough when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight?
	You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency, but no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that.
	Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil and that I refuse to believe.
	What's missing from the context here is the grimacing facial expression she was making, where her left eye starts to close.
	Oh yeah, almost Tourette's like.
	I felt very bad about this.
	Alright, I'm just not going to disparage Greta because she can't help it.
	In fact, there's a clip out there of Mylena Thunberg, that's her mom, who I think is an actress of some sort, and you don't even have to understand Swedish to hear that she's a nutjob.
	That's what's so great about this clip, and I'll tell you what it is.
	I think it's a commercial, maybe for frozen pizza in a supermarket, because she's walking through a supermarket with kind of a Kate Bush-type Wuthering Heights robes.
	Behind her, six guys with Eyes Wide Shut masks, dressed in black, And she's wailing on about something and then holds up the pizza.
	So I don't know if it's a commercial or if it's...
	I'm assuming it's a commercial.
	But listen to it.
	You'll hear the cadence and know that she's a nutjob.
	Now I'm going to go down and deal with meat.
	It's nothing strange at all.
	No, no, no.
	And it's not a lot of assistants and such that people might think.
	You can hear you.
	This doesn't sound normal.
	I hope anyone can talk like that for a commercial.
	Now, let's set some basic info about Greta that is not mentioned.
	She has an escort.
	Her mom's off there doing frozen pizza commercials, or whatever she's doing.
	I'm sure our Swedish producers will let us know.
	She has an escort to take her around all of these UN departments, and she visited quite a few, and I have a few examples of that.
	Her escort is Lisa Marie Bauer.
	And Lisa Marie is a 23-year-old German climate activist.
	In Germany, she's one of the main organizers for the school strike.
	And she belongs to the One Foundation.
	In fact, she's a youth ambassador of the One Foundation.
	And I'll play the same game I played last night with my wife.
	Who do you think is the biggest funder of the One Foundation?
	Soros.
	Yes!
	You got it right.
	First guess.
	Very good.
	Very good.
	There he is.
	He's helping her out.
	And they shepherd this poor girl through all the different UN organizations.
	Here she is at UNICEF! Well, actually, this is the introduction to Greta and 15 of her cohorts at UNICEF. And thank you for joining us this morning here at UNICEF House.
	My name is Charlotte Petrovnicka, and I'm the Deputy Executive Director here at UNICEF. And for anyone who doesn't know what UNICEF is, we are the United Nations Children's Fund.
	We stand up for the rights of every child, in every part of the world, every day.
	Sometimes it is our job to speak up for children when their voices are not heard.
	But more often it's our job to listen and to make sure that the world listens to them too.
	And that's why we are here today.
	Alright, so then they abuse 15 other children, including Greta.
	Same basic thing.
	Well, not the same basic issues, but they are suing...
	How many are they suing?
	They're suing eight different countries because they're not acting on their behalf.
	Then she went over to the World Wildlife Fund, did a little public service announcement with, this is an odd pairing, George Monbiot, who is the extreme leftist.
	Does he still work for The Guardian?
	He was best known as the most socialist of the socialists at The Guardian, and he was a columnist.
	I don't know that he is anymore.
	Well, I won't play the whole thing.
	It's three and a half minutes.
	You'll get the idea pretty quickly.
	This is not a drill.
	My name is Greta Thunberg.
	We are living in the beginning of a mass extinction.
	Our climate is breaking down.
	Children like me are giving up their education to protest.
	But we can still fix this.
	You can still fix this.
	To survive, we need to stop burning fossil fuels.
	But this alone will not be enough.
	Lots of solutions are talked about.
	But what about a solution that is right in front of us?
	I'll let my friend George explain.
	There is a magic machine that sucks carbon out of the air, costs very little, and builds itself.
	It's called a tree.
	A tree is an example of...
	And here's the bull crap that really bothers me.
	He's saying it sucks carbon out of the air.
	No, it doesn't.
	Carbon dioxide.
	So the carbon dioxide, we saw it move to just carbon a while ago, and here it is in the leader of the movement's video.
	They just call it carbon.
	Of course, we need to plant more trees, but we have to stop using oil, and you get the idea.
	Coordinated perfectly with all of this is yet another IPCC report that came out.
	We didn't even hear about that.
	And I have a quick news report.
	Well, you'll hear the thing that's pretty funny, because they always choose a nice location.
	You know, we had the Paris Accord.
	It's a good vacationing spot.
	It's great.
	Hey, why should we do the assessment announcement, John?
	What place should we do it in?
	Well, the Bahamas has been ruined for the short term, so we have to find some place that's a little more...
	Come on, it has to be a place where...
	Why don't we go to Saipan?
	No, it has to be a place where I can get my hair done.
	Don't you understand?
	Let's go to Milan.
	No, no, no.
	It's too many Italians.
	A highly anticipated UN climate change report out this morning raises the alarm about the world's oceans.
	More than 100 scientists spent the last three years looking at the impact of climate change on glaciers and the seas.
	Mark Phillips is in Monaco for us, where the findings were released...
	I think Monaco would be good for us.
	So they went to Monaco.
	Let me tell you about Monaco.
	It is not easy to get to, unless you're flying by helicopter.
	Right.
	Because that's what everyone does.
	They fly by helicopter to Monaco.
	Otherwise, it's a substantial enough drive.
	It's very hard to get around in the city.
	It's expensive as all heck.
	And of course, there's still nothing but elites there.
	So yeah, Monaco, let's do it there.
	Mark, what did we learn?
	Good morning.
	Well, this report concerns the world's oceans and frozen regions.
	In other words, the north and south poles and mountaintops.
	Its general conclusions, they can't take it anymore.
	The consequences for humanity are severe.
	Until now, much of the Earth's warming has been absorbed in its oceans.
	But according to this latest UN report, tipping points are being reached.
	Tipping points!
	Oh!
	Another one.
	Do you hear the sound effect of the falling ice?
	In this latest UN report, tipping points are being reached where some of the more severe consequences of climate change can no longer be avoided.
	Okay, so that report goes on.
	I do have the IPCC special report on the ocean and cryosphere, which I like as a word.
	I do too.
	In a changing climate.
	And just to give you an idea, you just heard that science is in.
	Shut up.
	This is...
	Let me just write down cryosphere.
	It's one of these words I want to remember.
	Okay.
	Everything's all in.
	We all agree.
	But if you read the report, let's see, I'm going to go to the executive summary, which they say is appropriate for media usage and policy makers, which I think is always interesting.
	Here we go.
	Where is it?
	Here.
	Observe changes and impacts.
	Over the last decades, global warming has led to widespread shrinking of the cryosphere with mass loss from ice sheets and glaciers.
	And here it comes.
	This is what they do consistently in all the reports.
	In parentheses, very high confidence.
	Reductions in snow cover, high confidence.
	And Arctic sea ice extent and the thickness, very high confidence.
	It is virtually certain that global ocean has warmed unabated since 1970.
	It has taken up more than 90% of the excess heat in the climate system.
	High confidence.
	Since 1993, the rate of ocean warming has more than doubled.
	Likely.
	I mean, let's see, over here, a loss of oxygen has occurred from the surface to 1,000 parts per million.
	Medium confidence.
	Their whole...
	It's full of crap.
	It's what they always do.
	You'd think the ocean, by the way, would be cooling with all these chunks of ice in it.
	But okay.
	They state a fact and then say high confidence or medium confidence or likely.
	What does that mean?
	It means bullshit.
	No, it's not a fact.
	These are all opinions.
	It's really just...
	You hear how they report this?
	Oh, it must be true.
	By the way, Dinesh D'Souza got a lot of heat on the Twitter bots for making a comparison with photographic evidence between Greta Thunberg and an old Nazi poster which has one of the Hitlerjugend, a girl, who looks surprisingly like Greta with her pigtails.
	Now, although that's...
	You look and you go, oh man.
	But really, it still is ultimately an image.
	If you search for Greta Thunberg...
	Hair loose.
	I found one picture, and only one.
	And when you see that picture, and you can go ahead and just do it on Bing or Google or whatever.
	I've already gone through the pictures because I found that she looked more like Wednesday Adams.
	Well, in fact, the algos did that to me, too.
	I saw some Wednesday Adams photos pop up.
	But when you see her with her hair loose, all of a sudden she looks like a young woman.
	This is complete styling.
	This is definitely image related and it's on purpose.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's to get everybody riled up.
	Before we go too far, I don't want to get away from this topic too far before we at least play.
	I was kind of more concerned about these kids.
	Now I admit I will have taken, I lifted this from Mark Dice, which is a medley, a disgusting medley of kids complaining about All at these various meetups that they have these...
	Let me guess.
	Complaining they're all going to die?
	I'm disgusted by this.
	Our world is already in flames.
	It's getting hotter.
	We can't breathe.
	We are here because our parents trashed the planet and it's up to our generation to save it.
	Call it Generation Z, the last letter of the alphabet, because we are going to be the last generation to survive.
	We do not have Time to be polite.
	This is a revolution.
	It doesn't matter how much we're taxed if we don't have an earth to live on.
	We need to do more instead of having a corrupt president who won't acknowledge that the earth is literally dying.
	We need to listen to our children because they totally get it.
	Because every day of inaction drives more action from us!
	I hate to do this to you, but I think I can top it.
	I think I got a topper.
	Good.
	I would like to hear a topper.
	This is an appearance by Kamala Harris.
	And there's a young woman who approaches Kamala, and she is in tears over dying from a burning...
	She's dying in the spot.
	She's dying right in front of...
	Yes.
	And in this case, it's too bad we don't have video.
	I implore you to go look at it in the show notes, 1176.noagendanotes.com, because...
	The faces Kamala Harris makes...
	I would argue this with you.
	I think the face she's making is reflective of, oh my god, what have we done that we have people like this?
	This is like a female incel.
	I was scared every day.
	So here's the thing.
	You're right to feel that way, but you also have to remember that we're all in this together, okay?
	You always have to remember that you're not alone, do you hear me?
	You always have to remember that, okay?
	No, baby, you're not going to die.
	You're not, you're not.
	And we're going to be smart, and we're going to fight.
	We are going to win, and we're going to take on the people who are just failing to have courage.
	Okay?
	Don't worry, baby.
	You're not going to die.
	Well, that's not the message.
	Take that back.
	Take that back.
	Oh, speaking of take that back, hold on.
	And by the way, that was not a topper.
	No, you're right.
	In audio, it's not a topper.
	I agree.
	I had to take that back.
	What was it?
	It was really funny.
	Well, first, here's some women from the ITV talk show, Loose Women, responding to Greta.
	This is in the UK. 16-year-old environmental activist Greta Thunberg broke down in tears while speaking at the UN Climate Summit in New York yesterday.
	In the speech, she called out world leaders, accusing them of stealing her dreams and childhood.
	Was it in tears?
	You know, I watched it, Christine.
	Honestly, watching that night still brings tears to my eyes because very rarely in this world now do you see people who are so devoted to their passion.
	And it is to see that raw passion about the world.
	This is about future generations.
	She's so passionate about it.
	And I just I just so adorable.
	I really, really respect her.
	And her passion really got to me.
	You know, she's 16 years old and I'm really sorry but she's not being melodramatic.
	We are living in a world where we have to watch what we're doing.
	There are animals that my children will never see, you know, verging on extinction.
	I mean, I did a program years ago with David Attenborough about animals that were close to extinction and I was sent to Sri Lanka to look at the turtles.
	Oh no!
	Because of our plastic use.
	Will someone think of the turtles?
	It goes into the ocean and the turtles eat them because they eat the plastic bags because they think they're jellyfish.
	No, we need to educate the turtles.
	They die.
	And that is just like, that is our own doing.
	And I think for me, I try and do what I can, but when you look at the facts, she made me think, well, what is this about?
	Why is she getting so passionate about it?
	Because she's being paid by Soros!
	Come on!
	Tropical rainforests around the world are being cut down, it says here, at a rate of 30 football pitches a minute.
	Oh yeah, it says here, 30 football pitches per minute!
	A minute!
	That is not a joke, that is fact.
	When I listen to her, it makes me think, I've got to change my lifestyle.
	And I really did.
	I went home, I sat down, I thought, what can I do?
	What bit can I do to change?
	Won't somebody please think of the children?
	Well...
	The children are thinking of themselves, and I think the funny thing is, it leads to this clip, which is the birth strike opener.
	Is this...
	So this birth strike phenomenon is something that I've sort of had casual conversations about with friends, but I didn't know that women were actually considering this.
	Yeah, it's not just women either.
	It's a lot of men, couples specifically, who are talking about all of the reasons why they will or will not have children, and now they're just considering climate change.
	And for these birth strikers, that is the number one reason.
	And they have declared, signed it into the universe, that they will not have children or have any more children.
	Because of climate change.
	Wow, what do we feel about this?
	Does this feel extreme?
	It kind of does to me a little bit.
	What the hell did you just say?
	Let me hear that again.
	Because of climate change.
	Wow, what do we feel about this?
	Does this feel extreme?
	It kind of does to me a little bit.
	But then when you think about it, like, I've had these conversations, not necessarily about climate change, but just children in general with my husband, with my friends, like you've said.
	And the number one reason for me is money.
	But, you know, climate change is another big thing, too.
	It's another thing to consider in a list of things to consider when couples, women or men, decide to have children.
	I have to say that after the UN climate change report came out last fall, and they basically said that by 2040, if we let it go up 1.5 degrees Celsius, that we're going to see more floods, more extreme weather, people will be moving inland, more droughts.
	And I actually thought, well, if that's in my lifetime, is it worth bringing children into this?
	Yeah.
	So Waters, I got one more of these clips.
	I'm good.
	So Waters, the Waters World guy.
	Jesse Waters?
	He brings one of these promoters of the birth strike, which is, in other words, no babies.
	And, of course, he's a joker.
	Yeah.
	And so this is Blythe and the no babies movement on Waters World.
	And it does need, I think, young people to have a legitimate question.
	You know, is it okay to still have children?
	Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cautioning millennials about climate change and posing the question whether people should even be having more kids.
	But the movement reaches much further than D.C. Women in Great Britain refusing to have children until global warming ends.
	I can't have a child until I am absolutely convinced that we are on a seriously, seriously different path.
	Here to explain the founder of BirthStrike, Blythe Papino.
	Okay, Blythe, what are the risks?
	When you're doing an interview and someone starts off with, okay, you, you know it's not going to go well.
	I have that clipped as a possible show killer, show killer, show closer.
	But, okay.
	Let me hear it.
	Even though he's got that shit-eating grin on his face all the time, he looks a little like Bugs Bunny.
	In fact, he is the most insulting of all the Fox hosts.
	Okay, Blythe, if that doesn't teach a real name.
	Okay, Blythe.
	Blythe Papino.
	Okay, Blythe, what are the risks, in your opinion, of having a child?
	There aren't any risks to having a child, as in giving birth, do you mean, or in their future.
	If you give birth, which you're refusing to do, but if you get pregnant and give birth, what would be the problem to the world or to your child?
	The problem that we are talking about is that we're afraid for these kids' futures.
	How would you be afraid of their future?
	We're afraid for their futures.
	But what could happen to the child when they grow up?
	Well, what we're looking at in the next few decades, the end of the century, is worldwide famine, mass displacement of people, famine, food shortages across the world as a result of drought in the places where we grow food around the world and how we feed ourselves.
	We're also looking at mass displacement of people.
	We're talking 5 to 6 billion refugees as a result of climate change.
	Five to six billion refugees?
	Yeah, you heard that too.
	How many are on planet Earth?
	Everyone's going to be a refugee somehow.
	We're all going to be running away.
	Move over there, you move over here.
	We're all going to be running somewhere.
	Perhaps the most cynical abuse of this situation came to us from Cloudflare.
	Did they go public a week or two ago?
	If they did, I missed it.
	Yeah.
	Well, so now they're all about the PR, and so they jump right in with some climate news and some climate initiatives they've taken, and I find this very cynical.
	Malicious bots continue to be a problem on the Internet, says the CEO, and we've decided to fight back.
	Because what do bots do when bots are out there wasting bandwidth?
	What are they doing?
	They're using up CPU cycles, and you can directly correlate that to energy usage and to killing the environment.
	So, from today, customers have the option of enabling bot fight mode in the settings of their Cloudflare dashboard.
	Cloudflare, as you know, has no problem removing people from their gateway.
	And Cloudflare is an interesting company.
	Many, many organizations use them kind of as a front for all of their back-end servers.
	So if you get some kind of an attack, denial of service attack, or any other type of attack, then the Cloudflare people are there to protect you and your server.
	But they have no problem completely throwing people off.
	They've done that, what was it, a couple of websites.
	They said, you can't use our service anymore.
	And they determine what web servers or what things are bots.
	So they're really turning it into a very nice censoring machine.
	Just by getting everybody to flip on the bot fight mode to fight climate change.
	I'm very familiar with this company.
	You are?
	I miss this climate change nonsense.
	It's too bad.
	They shouldn't do that.
	How are you familiar with the company?
	Well, besides having talked about them on this show about four years ago or five years ago, I visited them.
	I wrote an article about them.
	I met the CER. I had them explain to me what the hell they were doing.
	And I played the pinball machine that's in their lobby.
	You know them!
	And I also have a t-shirt.
	Yes, I was.
	You're an expert.
	I know them better than not knowing them.
	You're an expert on them now.
	This is all wrong.
	Oh my goodness.
	Spotted my ISO. Yeah, I did.
	I like that one.
	I think that's the best for the end of the show.
	Well, I have the other one, which is the Blythe one, but it's not.
	No, it's not like Greta.
	And we can probably close it up.
	That's right.
	Greta.
	I'm sure we'll be using that jingle again in the future.
	So I'm not sure.
	What happened to Brett Kavanaugh?
	Weren't we going to impeach him?
	How long ago was that?
	Was that four months ago?
	Well, that's why the whistleblower showed up.
	That's why?
	It took the heat off of Kavanaugh.
	This is very interesting.
	I kind of dove into this.
	We can probably say up front, this is a non-story.
	It's just as dumb as Russia, as the Russia collusion.
	It will go nowhere.
	In fact, the telegraphing is that it's going nowhere.
	We had a series of speakers and things that happened before the transcript or notes or whatever it's called of the phone call between...
	President Trump and President Zelensky, which is really just two comedians hopping on the phone and riffing together, before they spoke.
	And we had a whistleblower, and I was able to read the complaint as it came out today, which was another thing that, oh, this horrible, the bad orange man, he's breaking the law, he's holding stuff back from us, this is all completely wrong, we can't have any of this.
	And so we had a couple of clips before the transcript came out and a couple after.
	And the first one I wanted to highlight is the, as far as I know, at this point in time, the only challenger to President Trump, the only Republican challenger, so he does want to try and become the nominee instead of the sitting president, which is always a tough nut to crack.
	This is Bill Weld, and he clearly was read in on the whistleblower in the manner that whoever leaked this information, or if it was a leaker to begin with, and later became a whistleblower.
	And he, of course, he got all his facts wrong, and he also had an interesting solution.
	Obviously, canceling primaries undermines democratic institutions and democratic elections, but that's far from the deepest eye crime that the president has committed here.
	He's now acknowledged that in a single phone call, right after he suspended $250 million of military aid to Ukraine, he called up the president of Ukraine and pressed him eight times...
	Let's investigate Joe Biden, who the president thinks is going to be running against him.
	Talk about pressuring a foreign country to interfere with and control a U.S. election.
	It couldn't be clearer.
	And that's not just undermining democratic institutions.
	That is treason.
	It's treason, pure and simple.
	And the penalty for treason under the U.S. code is death.
	That's the only penalty.
	The penalty under the Constitution is removal from office, and that might look like a pretty good alternative to the President if he could work out a plea deal.
	Okay, you get a clip of the day for that one.
	I miss that.
	Kill him!
	Orange man's bad.
	Kill him!
	That guy is a lunatic.
	Now, before we continue with this discussion, I do want to get this straightened out about the whistleblower issue.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I found a clip, which was from actually a columnist at WAPO, of all places, on the PBS NewsHour, explaining this whole, you know, because it's not well understood.
	Is he a whistleblower?
	He's not a whistleblower.
	They have the DNI guys testifying before Congress as we speak, and he's telling them the same thing, that, you know, this guy is not a whistleblower that has anything to do with the intelligence community.
	Why are you dragging me up here?
	And here's the rundown.
	I think this was pretty good, by the way.
	This is the WAPO whistleblower rundown.
	Devlin, let's get right into this.
	Whistleblower complaints from the intelligence community are supposed to go to Congress.
	How did this one end up at the Justice Department?
	Well, it's a pretty complicated path, but essentially what happens is once the complaint is made, folks in the intelligence community question whether this is a valid whistleblower complaint because the president obviously is not a member of the intelligence community.
	He's not an employee of one of those agencies.
	So what happens is they get legal advice from the Justice Department.
	And what the Justice Department says is that, no, this is not a valid legal complaint because the whistleblower rules don't really apply to conduct of the president.
	But interestingly, and in some ways more importantly, the Justice Department says, but there may be a criminal violation here, so we need to look at that.
	So we, the Justice Department, are going to take a look at what happened here and see if there's reason to pursue a criminal investigation.
	Criminal violation of what?
	Campaign finance law.
	The question that was immediately presented by the whistleblower's complaint is, is the president seeking a thing of value from a foreign entity, which is a violation under campaign finance law?
	And that question quickly turned into, could you characterize an investigation by a foreign government as a thing of value?
	And that's the question they were wrestling with.
	And what was the timing of all this?
	When did it get to justice and when did the folks in public integrity clear or say there was no violation?
	So it gets to the Justice Department in late August and, you know, different parts of the Justice Department get read in and get involved at different times.
	But essentially, you're talking about the public integrity section.
	With some input from the criminal division at the Justice Department and the National Security Division.
	But essentially they look at this question and by last week we're told, and that's important because obviously a lot was happening on this issue publicly last week, but last week we're told the Justice Department decided there was not a criminal case to pursue here.
	Done.
	Yeah.
	Well, but what's interesting is that Democrats and most of the news media jumped on this before they had seen any transcript.
	Of course, this all happened in July.
	The whistleblower one day later made his or her complaint.
	It's all...
	And I just read it this morning.
	I'm not going to read it to you because it's just very long and it's all hearsay and other people heard this and were all worried and, oh my goodness, oh my gosh, oh my gracious, what are we going to do?
	But what brought out all these numbnuts who were apparently worried, including John Kerry.
	And why John Kerry?
	Because his kid...
	Had deals with Hunter Biden, and I think they, I don't know if they completed everything together in Ukraine, maybe even some of the China deal.
	So Kerry had to come on Face the Nation.
	This was Sunday, and, well, here he is.
	Well, first of all, it is entirely inappropriate for the president's personal attorney to be involved in another country trying to find dirt on a presidential candidate, number one.
	Number two, what President Trump has done, if he has done it, And the way to prove whether he's done or not is release the transcript of that conversation.
	That's how you get to the bottom of this.
	But there's just a, you know, for the president of the United States to be leveraging American foreign policy, hawking it, extorting the leader of another country, if that's what has happened, is unprecedented.
	And the last time a president did that, Richard Nixon, the Republican Party stood up and held him accountable for the abuse of power.
	This Republican Party today is running for cover.
	And actually, inadvertently supporting a cover-up of what is alleged is true.
	The only way to get at it is release the transcript, let everybody see what the president said.
	And if he leveraged American foreign policy and foreign aid to get a president of another country to be the opposition research arm of his campaign, that is a fundamental, profound, and deeply disturbing abuse of power.
	If, if, if, if, if, hedging his words.
	So let's get down to the actual impeachable part.
	Adam Schiff was right back up on stage.
	We haven't heard from him for a couple of months.
	He was very quiet.
	Boom, there he is.
	Skin shedding.
	I'm sorry.
	He was shedding his skin.
	He's back.
	Fresh new scales.
	And he did a little stand-up.
	I don't want you to get too far off the track before we go from Kerry, who claimed in that little spiel of his that Nixon did what Trump did.
	It's what he said.
	I know.
	It's completely untrue as far as I can recall.
	Nixon was busted for obstruction of justice because of the Watergate.
	Yes.
	It had nothing to do with a foreign government or extorting a foreign government for his political purposes?
	What's he talking about?
	Well, this is why I'm going to play Adam Schiff with his new skin.
	He did a big stand-up, a big speech, which I have some other excerpts from.
	But first, the question was asked, what exactly is impeachable that the president did?
	So what specifically do you see as the impeachable offense here?
	Well, I think in its most naked form, and this is what our inquiry is going to look into, the President has now admitted the notes of this call, and we don't even know if these are the complete notes of this call.
	indicate the president of the United States shaking down a foreign leader, essentially undermining the national security of this country for a personal political gain and one that violates his oath of office.
	So it is very powerful evidence of that kind of potential impeachable offense that...
	But we want to get the full facts before the American people, and we also want to make sure we take corrective action.
	And I want to thank the whistleblower.
	We still don't know whether this is a subject of the whistleblower's complaint.
	But I think this single courageous individual may have had the effect of forcing the White House to provide Ukraine with this funding, knowing that these matters were going to come to light.
	But this whistleblower has already had a tremendous impact in exposing wrongdoing of the President of the United States and helping protect our national security in a way That his or her boss was unwilling to do, and by that I mean the director as well as the President of the United States.
	Okay, so what it comes down to, what they've all said, is he had a quid pro quo of withholding aid in return for services that would potentially help the president with the 2020 election.
	So at first I thought it's not even that long.
	We'd read through the call, but I'm not going to do that.
	But I just want to give you the relevant pieces so we can understand what exactly this quid pro quo was.
	According to the notes, we really don't know if it's true or not.
	So this is President Zelensky.
	He says, I would like to thank, I was going to do a voice, but I won't.
	I would like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense.
	Then the president says...
	I would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.
	I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine.
	They say crowd strike.
	I guess you have one of your wealthy people.
	The server, they say, Ukraine has it.
	There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation.
	I think you're surrounding yourself with the same people.
	I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people.
	I would like you to get to the bottom of that.
	So the answer to the javelins is CrowdStrike, which has nothing to do with Joe Biden, has everything to do with Hillary Clinton and her emails, and we've talked about the CrowdStrike Ukraine connection before.
	The FBI never saw the DNC server that was apparently hacked, and for everything we know, Somehow it's in Ukraine.
	So it was not about Joe Biden.
	That's after the next piece.
	But here's the thing that everyone is getting wrong in court, including Schiff.
	And I'm kind of informed on these things because they're talking about this aid.
	What aid?
	Fox News, everyone's, oh yes, 400 million in aid, 400 million in aid.
	Bullshit!
	Can people not read?
	We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next step.
	Specifically, we are almost ready to buy more javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
	In 2017, the State Department and the President approved a sale of anti-tank weapons, javelins, to Ukraine.
	A sale!
	This is not aid!
	There's no aid involved.
	It's a sale.
	It's what we do.
	We sell our crap to everybody.
	Saudis.
	We sell them to Germans.
	We sell them to whoever wants.
	It's our main business.
	There is no aid.
	Zero.
	And he says, we're almost ready.
	We're scraping together the money.
	We're breaking our piggy banks.
	We're getting those javelins, Mr.
	President.
	We're going to buy them from you.
	So right off the bat, the premise is a lie.
	There is no aid.
	Nowhere!
	And I'm flabbergasted by this.
	You should be.
	And then let's go to PBS. Because what you said right there is, now I want you to listen to, this is Judy, and I'm playing two clips out of order here.
	It's actually referring to your point.
	This is Judy talking to one of the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, Chris Murphy, a congressman.
	What's the fuss?
	This is Chris Murphy assertions on PBS. Senator Murphy, thank you very much for joining us.
	Given your longtime knowledge, familiarity with Ukraine, what is your reaction to this memo we are now seeing of the conversation between President Trump and the president of Ukraine in July?
	It's absolutely devastating.
	Within moments of Zelensky asking the president for more help, for increased weaponry to fight Russia, the president asks Zelensky to investigate one of the president's political opponents, Joe Biden, and make some decisions.
	Vague suggestion that Vice President Biden was bragging about getting a prosecutor or stopping a prosecution in Ukraine, which is fundamentally not true.
	There's no way to come away from that phone call without the impression that a priority of the president's is to take part in his I
	don't think we've ever seen anything like it.
	You are not allowed to Trade away the credibility of the United States in order to score political points or destroy your political rivals.
	And I think it underscores the need for the inquiry the House began yesterday.
	Senator, as you know, though, the White House is saying this is just an effort, an open effort by President Trump to encourage the Ukrainians to clean up corruption in their government.
	Well, that would be made more credible if the president had mentioned any other corruption investigation over the course of that call.
	There are, you know, likely dozens of different corruption matters that the president could have pressed the Ukrainians on if his actual concern was cleaning up corruption in Ukraine.
	He only mentioned one, and it happened to be requesting an investigation, which is not presently happening, against his likely 2020 campaign opponent.
	Wow, what a lie!
	What a lie!
	And this is Judy talking to him.
	I want to play a package on Judy's show that she ran earlier in the show before she talked to this guy.
	This was the end of the whole kind of segment.
	Now listen to this.
	This is the previous package.
	Another rapid-fire day of news centering around President Trump.
	He was at the UN meeting with world leaders today, but the headlines came from his decision to declassify and release a five-page memo.
	Describing a July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
	The text is critical to the fast-rising impeachment debate.
	It shows President Zelenskyy bringing up the military.
	Javelin missiles he wants to buy from the United States.
	Immediately following that, President Trump asks for what he says is a favor.
	To look into CrowdStrike, the company that concluded Russia was to blame for hacking into Democratic Party email in 2016.
	A conclusion the President has questioned.
	After Zelensky responds, stressing the ethics of Ukrainian investigations, President Trump next says he has heard about a Ukrainian prosecutor who was unfairly shut down.
	That may have been a reference to this man, Viktor Shokin, whom the U.S. saw as corrupt, and Joe Biden, while he was vice president, tried to have fired.
	A few sentences later, Mr.
	Trump says there's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that.
	So there were three items, not one like Murphy said, and Judy knew it because this is a package that she pushed.
	So why doesn't Judy say something to Chris Murphy when he makes that blatant lie that you pointed out?
	Because she's a liar!
	No, I think she's lost it.
	They're all in.
	Yeah, she's lost it.
	So again, just to reiterate, President Zelensky says, we are ready to continue to cooperate for the next step.
	Specifically, we are almost ready to buy more javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
	And I'm reading from the CNN version of the transcript, so this could be wrong too.
	The next thing, the President of the United States says, I would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot, and Ukraine knows a lot about it.
	I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine.
	They say crowd psyched.
	I just read that to you.
	Then Zelensky comes back, and he's going through a whole thing.
	The whole thing is, Mr.
	President, we're draining the swamp.
	We've learned so much from you.
	Really excited to talk to you.
	We've been trying to get together.
	And then he says, I guarantee you, as president of Ukraine, all investigations will be done openly and candidly of corruption in his own country.
	And then Trump comes back and says, good, because I hear you had a prosecutor who was very good, and he was shut down.
	That's really unfair.
	A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down, and you had some very bad people involved.
	Mr.
	Giuliani is a highly respected...
	Now, it goes on about Giuliani...
	And then he says, the other thing, so it's completely separated from the javelins.
	There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution.
	A lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.
	Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution, so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me.
	And then Zelensky comes in and says, oh yeah, I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor.
	He says, I'm knowledgeable of the situation since we won the absolute majority in our parliament.
	The next prosecutor will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved.
	And then he asked Trump for a favor.
	The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and we will work on the investigation of the case.
	On top of that, I would kindly ask you, Mr.
	President, if you have any additional information you can provide us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the ambassador to the United States from Ukraine.
	As far as I recall, her name was Ivanovich.
	It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%.
	Her attitude towards me was far from the best, and she admired the previous president, and she was on his side.
	She would not accept me as new president well enough, which is his entire issue because he could not communicate corruption that was going on between then-Obama State Department and Ukraine.
	And they were worried that we would think that they were horrible people.
	So all it takes is just to read through this to see that they've made this up.
	And it's worse than I've ever seen.
	And immediately jumped to all these conclusions.
	So much so that Pelosi...
	I'm actually...
	I'm going to just play the beginning and I'll skip to the end.
	Again, before the transcript came out, Pelosi was standing on her podium, not her regular Speaker of the House podium.
	Oh, no.
	We had five flags.
	We had everything all set up.
	She had her new...
	She has had new skin.
	I mean, if you squint at this video of Nancy Pelosi with her new hair and her new skin it's just like when you put the glasses on.
	What's the movie?
	Uh, they live?
	They live, yes.
	She looks like one of those skeletor beasts.
	So this is before she has any proof or even the notes of the transcript.
	She's, oh, she's pushed to do this.
	Last Tuesday, we observed the anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution on September 17th.
	Sadly, on that day, the intelligent community inspector general formally notified the Congress that the administration was forbidding him from turning over a whistleblower complaint on Constitution Day.
	I like the intelligent community instead of intelligence.
	That's kind of cool.
	This is a violation of law.
	Shortly thereafter, press reports began to break of a phone call by the President of the United States calling upon a foreign power to intervene in his election.
	Okay, that's quite an extrapolation of what went on here.
	So, I'm fast-forwarding through it all to get to the end.
	It's full Article I powers, including a constitutional power of the utmost gravity approval of articles of impeachment.
	And this week, the President has admitted to asking the President of Ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically.
	The actions of the Trump presidency revealed dishonorable fact of the President's betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections.
	Therefore, today, I'm announcing the House of Representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry.
	Okay.
	Official impeachment inquiry.
	We heard this on episode 1163 of this podcast from Jerry Nadler.
	This is formal impeachment proceedings.
	We are investigating all the evidence.
	We're gathering the evidence.
	And we will, at the conclusion of this, hopefully by the end of the year, Vote articles of impeachment to the House floor, or we won't.
	That's a decision that we'll have to make.
	But that's exactly the process we're in right now.
	So we've been in this process.
	It's an impeachment inquiry.
	Impeachment starts with filing of the articles of impeachment, and it takes a vote in the House of Representatives.
	But apparently everyone's forgotten that, and now we're just pretending the president's being impeached, which is just emphatically not true.
	Well, that's...
	Well, hello.
	I know, but it's...
	That's the idea, because they can't do the impeachment.
	Somebody sent a very interesting note to us describing the impeachment process to remind us that they really don't have...
	I mean, if there's going to be a trial about impeachment, if they're going to do all this investigation, that actually gets done by the Senate.
	Well, ultimately, yes, but the House has to file.
	They don't have to do much more than just...
	They got all these...
	They just file the articles of impeachment, and then...
	He goes to the Senate for a trial.
	There's no reason for all these hearings.
	The hearings thing is just a charade.
	It's just nonsense.
	It's just a way to embarrass and slow down the president from doing anything, hopefully keep Ginsburg alive and maybe win the next election.
	I think they're blowing it doing that.
	But just as an aside, though, I have to say...
	This morning, they had the DNI guy live on Fox.
	It was a live feed through YouTube.
	So I clicked on it, and it starts with this ad of, I swear, people will see this ad, somebody having a stroke.
	It's like this fat guy who is a dead ringer for Jerry Nadler.
	Really?
	Really.
	Having a stroke in this ad, and how about, oh, what the signs of a stroke are, and they zoom in on the guy.
	I swear to God, I'm saying, what is Jerry Nadler doing in this advertisement?
	Anyway, I don't know.
	Again, that's probably Fox's idea of a joke.
	Yeah, it could be.
	But it was a real ad.
	But it was a public service ad.
	So why is YouTube running this?
	Anyway.
	A couple things I want to finish up.
	So now we're after the release of the notes.
	And we need to give it some color.
	And this is the clip that was played quite a lot.
	And again, we're going back to Adam Schiff.
	So you just heard what's going on, but you're not doing it right, you see.
	You've got to understand what Trump is really saying, and this is what Adam Schiff is going to explain.
	The White House says that this call summary proves that there was no quid pro quo because...
	Military aid never even came up in the conversation.
	What's your response to that?
	My response is the President of Ukraine brought up his country's need for military assistance.
	And immediately thereafter, the President of the United States said, I have a favor I want to ask of you.
	And would not let the subject go.
	There was only one message that that President of Ukraine got from that call, and that was, This is what I need.
	I know what you need.
	Like any mafia boss, the president didn't need to say, that's a nice country you have.
	It'd be a shame if something happened to it, because that was clear from the conversation.
	There is no quid pro quo necessary to betray your country or your oath of office, even though many read this as a quid pro quo.
	I'm not concerned whether it is a quid pro quo or not.
	Oh.
	Ukraine understood what this president wanted.
	He made it abundantly clear.
	He made it redundantly clear.
	He had his emissaries making it clear.
	And Ukraine knew what it needed to do if it wanted to get military assistance.
	And that is help the President of the United States violate his oath of office.
	I mean, do these people really think they're going to get away with this?
	That it will really work?
	That we're all so stupid?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And will it?
	No.
	Okay.
	Then we're not so stupid, apparently.
	Well, the problem is, and we can go into that, is they're still having...
	The Republicans aren't buying any of this.
	There's only 5% of the Republicans in a poll saying, should the president be impeached?
	The numbers are not...
	I mean, they just keep pounding this to the public, and it's starting to annoy people.
	A lot of people, I think, are just turning off to it, and I think the Democrats might...
	And by the way, this Pelosi thing, I'm at the point now where I'm thinking Pelosi's just given up.
	And she went along with the program because it was the...
	And she says it was the five freshmen.
	And there were these five freshmen...
	That's the squad.
	No, no.
	Not them.
	Five other freshmen that were always against impeachment until this.
	Oh, this chamber.
	Okay.
	Woo!
	All right.
	They came in and said, we got to do something, you know, because I'm going to lose.
	They're all newbies in contested districts that could go Democrat or Republican.
	And not the squad.
	The squad's been kind of, I don't know, they're never making any noise.
	They got other things to worry about.
	You know what's interesting?
	Yeah.
	And she knuckled to these five freshmen who are all new Knicks, mostly women.
	In fact, you can say they're all women.
	But two of them are actually guys, but it could be women.
	John.
	All right, so Pelosi's an idiot.
	Wait, let me finish.
	Pelosi may be deciding that the only way to get this resolved is to let the parties...
	Just lose the house again and just throw arms up in the air and say, look, I told you guys how to do this.
	You wouldn't listen to me.
	And now you're all screwed.
	Live with it.
	Really?
	That's the only explanation I can have for Pelosi knuckling under to five fresh or seven freshmen.
	What is the etymology?
	These are newbies.
	These people shouldn't be saying anything.
	They shouldn't have any opinion.
	The way this system works is there's a seniority-based system.
	If you've been proven that you should be there, not just a lucky one shot because you got in because it was that one The off-season election, you got in, and now you're starting to throw your weight around.
	No, this is not acceptable.
	Nudnik is Yiddish, stems from Russian word tedious.
	It's a good word.
	So the thing that didn't get any airtime, and I had to go to C-SPAN to get it, is the UN General Assembly, besides all the media attention Greta got, the two presidents sat down and actually had a press conference.
	President Trump and President...
	I keep forgetting his name.
	I really should know this.
	Zelensky.
	And addressed the issues.
	I think you read everything.
	So, I think you read text.
	I'm sorry, but I don't want to be involved to democratic, open elections of USA. No, you heard that we had I think good phone call.
	It was normal.
	We spoke about many things.
	So I think, and you already, that nobody pushed me.
	Yes.
	In other words, no pressure.
	I mean that we have independent country and independent general security.
	I can't push anyone, you know?
	That's it.
	That is the question.
	That is the answer.
	So I didn't call somebody or the new general security.
	I didn't ask him.
	I didn't push him.
	That's it.
	Now, when Biden's son walks away with millions of dollars from Ukraine and he knows nothing...
	See, interestingly, Trump is now just doubling down and hammering on this stuff.
	And they're paying them millions of dollars.
	That's corruption.
	When Biden's son walks out of China with $1.5 billion in a fund, and the biggest funds in the world can't get money out of China, and he's there for one quick meeting, and he flies in on Air Force Two.
	I think that's...
	It's a horrible thing.
	I think it's a horrible thing.
	But I'm going far beyond that.
	I know the President, and I've read a lot about Ukraine, I've read a lot about a lot of countries, he wants to stop corruption.
	Rudy's looking to also find out where the phony witch hunt started, how it started, yet a Russian witch hunt that turned out to be two and a half years of phony nonsense.
	And I think he's got a very strong right to do it.
	He's a good lawyer.
	He knows exactly what he's doing.
	One of the great crimes committed is Hillary Clinton deleting 33,000 emails after Congress sends her a subpoena.
	I mean, I've never heard that.
	She's done far worse than that, although I don't know how much worse it can be.
	And then she said, as I remember it, that, oh, well, they had to do with the wedding and yoga.
	She does a lot of yoga, right?
	So they had 33,000 emails about the wedding of her daughter and yoga.
	I don't think so.
	And that's really Trump's point.
	He's really going after the Clinton server, CrowdStrike, the emails.
	That's really what he's...
	I don't think he cares at all about Biden.
	Now...
	Remember we talked about WinRed?
	This is the Republican fundraising arm.
	It's kind of like ShareBlue.
	Or ActBlue, I'm sorry.
	They do all the transactions, all of the funds that come through from the chip-in campaigns.
	And that's owned by Kushner and Kushner's buddies.
	They have been on full blast lately.
	I'll give an example of some of these tweets that are coming in.
	And it's always the same amount, by the way.
	Breaking news!
	Nancy wants to impeach President Trump needs you on his impeachment defense team.
	We're sending him each donor in one hour.
	Reply yes to donate $100.
	Next one.
	Do you not stand with President Trump?
	He needs you on his impeachment defense team, Adam.
	Slick, personalized.
	Show him support.
	All gifts match two times.
	Reply yes to donate $100.
	And it's just five a day.
	They're fundraising like crazy off of this.
	That's the idea.
	Yeah, I find those texts incredibly insulting.
	I hate to say this, and I'm glad you stayed on the mailing list, but I took myself off.
	I was on Warren's mailing list.
	I'm on it.
	John, these are text messages.
	These are text messages.
	Well, I don't have my text, but...
	I've never received text messages from presidents.
	That's pretty aggressive.
	It's very aggressive.
	These guys are all over it, and I find it quite insulting, personally.
	I think it is insulting.
	It's also, you know, it's assuming that you don't know what's going on.
	It's almost like, oh great, look at what they did.
	This is going to give us an opportunity to bring in a lot of millions.
	Ugh, it's annoying.
	You know, people should be sending their money to the No Agenda show instead.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in cryosphere, John C. Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to you, all boots on the ground, feet in the air.
	Subs in the water!
	And all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning troll room, very busy today with all of our trolls.
	Let's see how many trolls we can count today.
	1,051 there at noagendastream.com.
	We can always hop in, troll along, say whatever you want to.
	And it's not just our show.
	We've got 24 hours, 7 days a week of fantastic shows.
	And it's a troll room and a stream all in one.
	It's like a floor wax and a dessert topping.
	And also in the morning to the artist who brought us just a fabulous, another award-winning piece for episode 1175.
	The title of that was Son of a Biden, as if we had vision that it was coming.
	And this was done by Nick the Rat, and it was derived from the discovery that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a nickname in school.
	Her nickname was Sandy.
	And you should take over, John, because I wasn't familiar with this caricature.
	Yes, I mentioned in the process that Sandy, the name Sandy is a very common name when I was a kid.
	I think Adam had a few friends.
	But to me, it always invokes the girlfriend of SpongeBob, the squirrel named Sandy, who would go to the hangout with SpongeBob and his buddies, the squirrel, and she'd always be in a diving suit.
	And so she'd be down, because, you know, squirrels really can't live underwater like a sponge can.
	What?
	And so Nick the Rat immediately took one of the sandy diving suit cartoon frames and stuck...
	Or Casio Cortez's head into the helmet.
	It just made me laugh out loud when I saw it.
	It was simple and genius.
	And whenever we have a laughing out loud moment from either of the hosts, that's usually a pretty good indication that that's going to be the piece.
	If you look at a piece of art and it makes you laugh just looking at it, it's good.
	No matter what it is.
	Yeah, and that was all he entered to.
	He entered early and once because I think he knew he had it.
	Yeah, usually Nick will do five different pieces just to make sure he's in the running.
	Some people, you know, they want to get on, so they're competitive with a lot of pieces, but when you just drop one in right at the beginning, it just, like, wins.
	It's just because you had a hunch.
	Well, it was a beautiful piece, and we appreciate it.
	It was very funny and cute.
	And a comic strip blogger immediately filed a protest.
	That is, uh, he just took art from Spongebob and put head in!
	The simplicity of some of these is illegal.
	It's not copyright violation.
	But this is from the guy who drew two lines of Melania's boobs and won the album art.
	And he's complaining about Nick's piece.
	Come on.
	I love the competition.
	I love the competition.
	Artists at war.
	Artists at war.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can enter your piece.
	It's very competitive.
	It's also just fun to peruse through them.
	There's a lot of great stuff that we just are unable to use.
	We have 10 times the amount of art that we have episodes.
	I think we're up to 13,000 or 14,000 pieces.
	And of course, NoAgendaShop.com works out a sweet deal with artists if they print stuff on their t-shirts and mugs and all the other paraphernalia they have, and they get a third, a third, a third, a third goes to the show, a third to NoAgendaShop, a third to the artist.
	NoAgendaShop.com Artgenerator.com.
	Thank you.
	And thank you, everybody, who submitted, who worked on it.
	And for today, we'd also like to thank a few people, our executive producers and our associate executive producers who keep the show going financially, which keeps our bills paid.
	And we have a...
	Let's see.
	What do we have?
	It looks like a balanced list.
	Balanced?
	Balanced list.
	Associate executive producer and executive producer, four and four.
	Nice.
	I always like the balance.
	Corey Ainsworth starts it off from Edgerton, Wisconsin, $365.25.
	I've been listening to Noah Jennifer a year now, and I've noticed a shift in the way I view media and politics.
	My newfound ability to see bias has been more valuable to my mental health than any SSRI. I wanted to give back to the best podcast in the universe as I just sold my house.
	It was a rough selling process as the bar was sporting a man bun.
	I know.
	I went out to eat with some millennial democrats to celebrate and can report that the creepy Uncle Joe meme is still alive and well.
	Here's to another year.
	Jingles.
	Dogs are people too.
	Respect and some karma please.
	Dogs are people too.
	Huh?
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T You've got karma.com You know, those two fit together very nicely, actually.
	Yeah, I guess it's the same chord, same beat, same vibe.
	Sir Gator of the North Texas Swamps comes in with 333.33 from Providence Village in Texas.
	Jobs karma would be appreciated.
	Thank you for the sanity.
	Sir Gator of the North Texas Swamps.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Uh, Rich Ballard.
	Uh, $301.01.
	Uh...
	Thank you for the show.
	I wanted to wish happy birthday to my wife, 917, Robin, 61, the keeper, son, 915, Justin, 32, the douchebag, and my other son, Jesse, 33.
	Who has no nickname.
	He has no nickname, Jesse.
	He's just there.
	Jesse's got no nickname.
	The kid.
	Well, actually, Justin's the kid.
	My son Justin could also use some baby-making karma and I would use some extra house-selling karma.
	This is a percent of the profits I made on a small investment in a restaurant chain around Dallas called Wing Bucket.
	So anyone in the area, check it out so I can make more donations.
	Love all the news and analysis that I can't get anywhere else with the humor.
	We need to keep this going!
	No jingles, no karma.
	Sir Richard the Lionheart.
	Except he actually asks specifically for some karma, so we'll make sure we do it.
	You've got karma.
	Or actually, wait a minute.
	No, it's actually N... NJJK is that what that says?
	Oh, yeah.
	No jingles, just karma.
	Oh, jobs karma.
	No, wait.
	He didn't ask for jobs karma.
	No jingles, just karma.
	I think that's what it is.
	All right.
	Good.
	Well, we did it then.
	We did it right.
	Complicating matters with the...
	Dubov Vladislav came in from Moscow.
	Or Moscow.
	$300.
	I looked for a note from him.
	Couldn't find anything.
	If you have anything to tell us.
	It curiously came in on my spreadsheet.
	My original...
	Oh, your old PayPal account?
	My PayPal account in Cyrillic.
	Huh.
	And so I had to translate it, and it said, it gave me this name, by the way, Dubov, and it was another, there's a third name in there.
	And it said to me, when I tried translating from Russian to English, it says, this is Ukrainian!
	And so his name, according to the translators, is Ukrainian.
	I recognize the name, though.
	I think he's donated before.
	I'm pretty sure.
	I think you might.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
	Well, if you have anything for us, let us know.
	But in the meantime, thank you.
	Yes.
	Thank you, Comrade.
	I'm an associate executive producer starting with Anonymous in Michigan, and he sent a check and a note.
	It's always one of the better ways to stay anonymous.
	Thank you for doing the research for me and for us.
	You and the fellow producers keep me sane.
	Here is 272 for September 29th, the 272nd day of 2019.
	Now, you got your pen?
	Oh, yes.
	I want to know, and I didn't send this to Eric because it's handwritten and I couldn't cut and paste it.
	I want to notify you that by error, mostly on my end, I think I was not properly knighted by ceremony.
	Maybe that can be resolved today.
	With that, I humbly request that I be allowed to change my title from Sir Roscoe to Sir A Source Familiar With The Matter.
	Okay.
	And then he needs...
	So I just would just re-knight him.
	Got it.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	He just wants a title change.
	You sure he wasn't knighted at all?
	Is that what he's saying?
	He wasn't properly knighted.
	Maybe that can be...
	Okay, let's just do a title change if that works for him.
	If it doesn't, he can write again.
	Um...
	Soon to be, sir, with a ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
	He says, jobs and general karma, please.
	Okay.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	All right.
	Next, another birthday boy.
	Sir Jeffro of the Rockwall in Heath, Texas.
	$250.52.
	John and Adam, I often wish there was more I could do for the No Agenda show.
	Unfortunately, I'm not particularly creative enough to make album art.
	I don't have time to figure out the technical ways to make clips, and I'm not funny.
	But I do have cash.
	So I'm making my annual birthday donation as I turn 52 on Saturday.
	I find that a donation to the No Agenda show is the best gift that one can give themselves.
	It helps to ensure that you get a birthday present two times a week for the whole year.
	I'm also a big fan of DHM Plugged.
	And Grumpy Old Benz, and I wouldn't have known about these podcasts without no agenda.
	Thanks for all the hard work that you do to help us cut through the media madness and find the truth.
	For jingles, I'd love to hear a medley of Sharpton Clips, along with little mac and cheese.
	A goat karma is always a plus.
	Thanks again, Sir Jeffro.
	Yeah, and in honoring the newsletter, which I thought was one of the better opening titles, Impeach We Much, I thought that gave me a little kick.
	I thought we'd do some OG Sharpton.
	Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back Or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance, but resist we much.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese, mac and cheese, macaroni and cheddar melted together.
	Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese.
	You've got karma.
	And onward to Donald O'Malley, $240.93.
	Do you have the PDF there?
	I do.
	I didn't put it into my show folder, but I can get that quite simply, quite quickly.
	Yes, I thought I could.
	He writes, I was going to have you read it, but I can do it.
	ITM gents, please feel free to read what you think is necessary on the air.
	Done.
	No, all I want to specifically request is my karma and title change.
	The rest is up to you.
	I will request Business Karma as my only jingle.
	I'm a software developer, or better yet, solution provider, not a coder, who started a business with a previous supervisor over this past year, and our first product is now live!
	With the first paying customer.
	We created a fundraising platform focused on school, PTO, PTAs, and other smaller non-profits that are largely ignored or raped by vendors.
	This is one of my ways of sharing the value for value model explained in the excruciating detail below.
	Here's the changes he needs.
	Title change and protectorate.
	I have reached barren status.
	And I would like to claim the state of Minnesota as my protectorate.
	I would like to be referred to henceforth as Baron Doom, liberator of the Minnesota slaves.
	Okay, hold on.
	Baron Doom liberator of the Minnesota slaves?
	Yes.
	Baron Doom liberator.
	And it has to be pronounced that way.
	Doom.
	Doom.
	Do liberate it to the Minnesota slaves.
	I will read a little bit of this.
	He says, before I explain my value for value journey, since it does have something to do with us, I want to bring a counterpoint to why I think it's important for people to write in and indicate that they don't agree with everything you say.
	I also think it's important for you to read that, and preferably without berating them.
	Okay.
	Up to you, up to you, up to you.
	When you hear or read that, you are reading it with a mind already open to the no agenda way of thinking.
	However, new listeners who are trying to break their minds free from the masses are caught up in a hyper-polarized environment.
	We are expecting to blindly and without question accept and agree with our side no matter what.
	The societal requirements make it hard for new listeners to hear no agenda and understand that we just get to think for ourselves while disagreeing openly when we don't agree with whatever the group you're disagreeing with.
	When people write and indicate that they do not agree with everything, I think it's very important.
	Okay, now he goes on and on about this issue, which I will now address.
	Yes, we do mock many people who come in with any comment whatsoever, especially when they say that.
	But the reason is not because...
	Not because they're saying that they don't agree with everything.
	It's because it is always assumed that they don't agree with everything because nobody would.
	In fact, Adam and I, even on today's show, about the one-upsmanship clip, we disagree constantly.
	Not constantly, but we disagree enough, which is the reason one's crackpot and one's buzzkill.
	And so it's not that we're mocking them or condemning them for disagreeing with us ever, but for them even bringing it up.
	That's it.
	That's all there is to it.
	But I appreciate this note.
	And I will not mock you since you're now a baron.
	So barons are not mockable.
	Off with his head, he might say.
	So be careful.
	Yeah.
	Treason leads to death.
	Okay.
	Anyway, thank you very much for that.
	Sir Finch is next, I think, on the list.
	Sir Finch comes in with 23456, one of my favorite donations.
	Impeach we much.
	We love a Donald Trump.
	By the way, that is the only reason this newsletter did so well.
	I agree with you.
	I cracked up, and as a teenager, she laughed out loud wherever she was at work.
	Yeah, it's very funny.
	It's funny.
	I don't know.
	It just came to me at some moment.
	No, it's like God made it to you.
	I would love a Donald Trump don't trust China.
	China is a-hole.
	Jingle and a large dose of Jobs goat karma.
	Thank you for your courage, Sir Finch.
	Donald Trump don't trust China.
	China is a-hole.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for Jobs!
	You've got...
	It cracks me up every time I hear it.
	No, it's funny.
	Every time I hear it, it's funny.
	It's funny.
	It's one of those things that's funny.
	So that concludes our list of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1176.
	I want to thank each and every one of them.
	I must have been listening to Ben Shapiro for helping the show.
	No, it sounds more like you were listening to Nancy.
	I'm just leaving words out.
	Exactly.
	Thank you.
	These are executive and associate executive producers just like Hollywood.
	These credits are real.
	Anywhere credits are recognized, they will be accepted.
	If not, we're happy to vouch for you.
	Please put it anywhere that makes sense for you on your resume even works.
	Put it on your LinkedIn profile.
	Executive producer or associate executive producer.
	Of the No Agenda Show, episode 1176.
	Thank you very much for your karma and for your courage and for all of that.
	And we'll thank more people in our second segment.
	You can, of course, also obtain one of these coveted titles for our Sunday show.
	Just go to...
	Well, at least now we know exactly what the definition is of quid pro quo.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Worse.
	Order.
	Okay, why?
	Shut up, slave.
	Faith, wars, yes, it's your faith.
	Wars, wars on the day.
	Being a cigarette.
	Pew, pew, pew.
	Yes, the vape wars and...
	And we have a huge development in the vape wars.
	As witnessed by this clip, breaking news.
	As the heat on e-cigarettes increases, Juul Labs CEO Kevin Burns announced his immediate resignation.
	On CTM last month, Burns gave a blunt message to young users.
	Don't vape.
	Don't use Juul.
	Don't start using nicotine if you don't have a pre-existing relationship with nicotine.
	He uses Juul in the house whenever he wants.
	The company has also suspended all advertising and says it will not lobby the Trump administration on new vaping laws, saying in a statement it will fully support and comply with the final policy when effective.
	On the first day of a four-month ban, smoke shops across Massachusetts had empty shelves.
	The moratorium of e-cigarette products includes flavored and unflavored, containing tobacco and or marijuana, which is legal in Massachusetts, and both online or retail sales.
	Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said it was necessary for health officials to get a handle on a spike in vaping related illnesses.
	This temporary ban will allow state government and medical providers the time they need to understand the dangers and respond accordingly.
	Massachusetts governor says he can extend the vaping ban beyond the four months.
	And other states are taking similar steps.
	Neighboring Rhode Island just issued a ban for all flavored vaping products.
	And California is urging its residents to stop vaping altogether.
	So let's put this all together.
	We had a vape industry insider who was in the advertising side of the business and said, this is all just delaying tactic.
	And this is maybe a week and a half or two weeks ago.
	All of this noise about vaping and people dying and it's all noise.
	All the tobacco industry is trying to do is slow down the vaping craze so they can come in with their real new product, which is the dry tobacco.
	It's not really a vaporizer, but it's a smokeless system known as IQOS.
	I-Q-O-S.
	And something that wasn't really on our radar is after Altria bought Juul for $18 billion, they were working on a merger with Philip Morris.
	And now the CEO of Juul has been replaced with a top tobacco executive.
	And now it looks like Altria and Philip Morris will merge, but on very different terms than Altria would have wanted.
	And let me read from the New York Times.
	I mean, it's on and off about the merger, but I'm pretty sure that they'll get together.
	But Philip Morris has said, the two companies are now going to focus on rolling out the Iquos heated tobacco product in the United States.
	They emphasize that IQOS, which Philip Morse International sells abroad, which has received FDA approval for sale in the United States, is not an e-vapor product.
	IQOS is a pen-like electronic device with a battery pack that resembles a cigarette case.
	It features a heating blade that warms a tobacco stick and emits a vapor with the taste of tobacco, but with fewer noxious chemicals than cigarette smoke.
	The FDA has approved it for sale in the United States and said the product could help people to quit smoking.
	The agency is still weighing whether to permit I-COS to be marketed as a reduced-risk product.
	So this was the plan.
	We knew something fishy was going on.
	Yes, it's very dangerous to vape nicotine salts at high wattage or sub-ohm, as they say, so low resistance, so you're really burning that.
	It can create benzene acid.
	And that apparently is what is drying up in people's lungs and making them very sick and making them die.
	I think it may be even up to eight or nine people globally now.
	Still less than Tide Pods that people ate.
	But there you go.
	For the 400,000 that die a year from smoking.
	So they really, you know, and they went after the vape industry on the Hill.
	There was a hearing about vape products, and they brought in Vicky Porter, who's a vape advocate.
	And Rashida Tlaib, for some reason, is on this committee.
	And she, you know, took her orders from wherever it's coming from, I guess from the tobacco industry, because that was the whole point.
	To ruin the vape industry, outlaw vaping, states are...
	Outlawing vape.
	Vape stores are shutting down.
	There's no more access to it.
	Yeah, you can still have your Juul, maybe.
	Who knows?
	Maybe they'll just convert to Iquos.
	I don't know.
	So she did her job.
	...was on health.
	And so it's so important that you all continue to speak truth about this because the long-term effects is very dangerous, especially because they have been targeted towards youth.
	And, you know, Ms.
	Corder...
	I was reading, because I want to know more about you and your beliefs, and I respect that.
	We all have different beliefs, but you call yourself a converted conservative and reformed Marxist.
	Are you a conspiracy theorist?
	I think my politics are entirely irrelevant to this hearing.
	Oh, okay.
	Why were you winking at one of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle?
	You winked.
	Because I know Glenn Grothman.
	Oh, that's what...
	So the winking...
	He introduced me.
	He's a friend of mine.
	Okay, I understand.
	I didn't know what the winking was, because I thought maybe there was something like a conspiracy...
	You think there's a conspiracy in this hearing, ma'am?
	No, no.
	I actually think people are speaking truth here, and you can provide information.
	May I address the truth?
	Well, the truth to you is very different for the majority of people in this room who do believe that children are being smart.
	The truth for me is I quit smoking with these cigarettes and loaded 8 million other people.
	You're still smoking.
	I'm not smoking.
	Thank you, thank you.
	And I'm not lying under oath.
	Order, please.
	Yeah, just another shit show on the hill.
	But, and now, just off Business Wire.
	That was terrible.
	What the hell's going on there?
	That's Rashida Tlaib.
	Just off the Business Wire, Philip Morris International, Inc., the makers of IQOS, today announced that merger discussions with Altria Group, Inc.
	have ended.
	Andre Kalantipudalapalap, CEO of PMI, said, After much deliberation, the companies have agreed to focus on launching Iquos in the U.S. as part of their mutual interest to achieve a smoke-free future.
	So what they're doing, I think, is because...
	I think the Juul guys were suckered into this.
	And this maybe is a question that you and Horowitz can talk about.
	I have the feeling that they lured them in to then make this big stink about vaping products and under the guise of, hey man, we're going to acquire you, but then killed them.
	Killed them, killed the company, killed the whole industry.
	It will be illegal.
	Back to bathtubs, everybody.
	Just to market Iquos.
	Now they're tossing them a bone.
	Like, eh, you can market this, because they do own some Iquos patent, I think.
	Hey, go ahead, you can market this.
	And then they'll buy them at a much cheaper price.
	That's what I would predict would be next, is Altria is a massive target now that this has taken place.
	So there you go.
	This whole thing has always been about putting the slaves back on actual tobacco products with actual horrible shit in it, although much less than traditional cigarettes.
	And the news media helped them, and so did the politicians.
	Good job, everybody.
	We didn't help them.
	We didn't.
	But that's...
	That's the way the system is.
	Yeah, that's it.
	It works somehow.
	Yeah.
	So we can retire the Vape Wars jingle because the Vape Wars are over.
	And I can't wait to try out this Iquos.
	It sounds like a real turd.
	I'm sure it smells like one, too.
	A tobacco, which reminds me of Barbarians at the Gate.
	A movie, a must-see for No Agenda producers.
	Barbarians at the Gate was about the leveraged buyout of...
	Was that Philip Morris?
	No, R.J.R. R.J.R. Nabisco.
	Nabisco.
	And the whole thing fell apart because they had developed a smokeless cigarette, spoiler, a smokeless cigarette that actually was smokeless except when you lit it with a match.
	Then it smelled like actual poop.
	And that ruined it.
	Anyway, it's a great movie to watch.
	I think it's an HBO production, actually.
	Well, another controversy is now boiling.
	Uh-oh.
	And I have three clips, which I find very entertaining.
	It's about the latest on Black Pete.
	Oh, not again.
	You know why?
	We're coming up on December 5th.
	That's when Black Pete appears in the Netherlands.
	Here's a good backgrounder on Black Pete and what they're going to do about it, because we knew this was going to happen.
	I think we predicted on the show that Black Pete cannot go on forever.
	Nope.
	And so they've come up with a new way of...
	They've come up with a solution.
	Santa's helper in the Netherlands is known as Black Pete.
	And we've spoken about Black Pete on the show before and the controversies surrounding him and the helpers.
	Now, according to folklore, Black Pete is amor from Spain.
	And when people dress up as him, they often dob their faces with black paint.
	And therein lies the problem.
	Many believe the Black Pete character promotes racist stereotypes.
	There have been violent confrontations over the issue, and this even sparked debates in the Dutch Parliament.
	DW correspondent Stefan Boss grew up in the Netherlands.
	But this year is going to be different, Stefan.
	Yes, it's going to be radically different, I would say.
	Wow, I love that you got this clip of a Dutch guy, Sean.
	That's greaty.
	Because for the first time, only peats with soot wipes will be allowed.
	They even call him the Soot Pete, no longer the Black Pete.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	So what you're saying, instead of painting your face fully black, you just can dob soot.
	Yes.
	Because, you know, traditionally Santa Claus comes down the chimney.
	Yes.
	And if you come down the chimney, you're going to pick up some soot, so that's the thing.
	Exactly.
	And that is really a dramatic development, because it was announced even by the national television broadcaster, and they announced that for the first time...
	Only sootpeats will be allowed to participate in this annual entry.
	This year it's Apeldorn, and the municipality there was saying, well, we are not really awaiting black peats anymore.
	So the black peat has been banned from Apeldorn.
	Wow.
	Are you familiar with soot?
	I was not up to speed on the soot beat, but we know it here because of the Noah Chandra show, which, you know, is the best podcast in the universe, according to the Mueller report.
	So I got two more clips.
	The last one is the short one, but let's hear more about Soot Pete.
	Okay.
	Some foreigners are quite surprised by the whole Black Pete debate.
	American author and comedian David Sedaris has written a story about the tradition.
	The story is called Six to Eight Black Men, and he once read it to a group of Dutch students.
	This, I think, is the greatest difference between us and the Dutch.
	While a certain segment of our population might be perfectly happy with the arrangement, if you told the average white American that six to eight nameless black men would be sneaking into his house in the middle of the night, he would barricade the doors and arm himself with whatever he could get his hands on.
	Six to eight, did you say?
	David Sedaris there, and yeah, he's talking about your average white American.
	What about your average black Dutch person?
	It is very interesting because there are very different reactions.
	Of course, the people from the group called Kick Out Zwarte Piet, that is even here existing, they are very happy with this latest arrangement because they cite history.
	They recall that in 1863 slavery was abolished in the former Dutch colonies of Suriname and the Dutch Antilles ending some 200 years of slavery and they view this Black Pete character as really a leftover from that horrible time.
	Now, I've also spoken with other people, with friends from Suriname and they find this discussion ridiculous.
	Even one of them told me, well, it now means that I can no longer play the character of Black Pete.
	But it is a very divisive issue in the Netherlands.
	What was also interesting, that in recent years, even a massive police presence was necessary to welcome...
	Now, that's of course not really how you want to celebrate what is really a children's feast.
	You know, while I was playing, I was looking for Back to the Archives.
	This whole Black Pete controversy started many years ago, we covered it on the show, by a woman whose sole responsibility as a consultant to the United Nations is to prove that reparations are needed for the former colonies of European countries.
	So when he mentioned Suriname, Indonesia, I think, well, Suriname, Netherlands, Antilles, those were colonies, and she started this...
	It would have started anyway, but it was always intended to spark a conversation about reparations for slaves of the Dutch colonies.
	And that conversation is alive in the Netherlands today.
	Many people who are from Suriname or Netherlands Antilles background are saying, oh yeah, we deserve that money.
	We can't wait to get it.
	And that will be the next report you hear.
	So, that's the origin of this, and now, of course, it's turned into a whole blackface thing.
	And in fact, the funny thing is, with all the grief that Justin Trudeau is receiving, apparently the Prime Minister of Holland dresses up as Black Pete all the time.
	Many times have politicians been the Black Pete or the Sinterklaas, the Santa Claus.
	Yeah, well this comes up in the third clip, the third part.
	Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, he actually went the other way.
	He's saying, well, actually there's nothing to apologize for because this character is harmless.
	This is a old children's tradition, Sinterklaas and Swartipede, Black Pete.
	And it is not Green Pete or Brown Pete, it is Black Pete, so I cannot change that.
	This is a old tradition and I can only say that my friends in the Dutch Antilles, they are very happy when they have Sinterklaas because they don't have to paint their faces.
	And when I'm playing Black Pete, I'm for days trying to get off the stuff from my face.
	So, Stefan, just a final question.
	Do you think that next year, when it's not an Apple Dorm, when they have a new city that's going to host it, are they going to go back to Black Pete, or are they going to go with the new version, Soot Pete?
	I think they are going with Soot Pete, simply because this has been a development for some time.
	They have very, very slowly changed the character.
	I have to say that even in recent years, you could still see a Black Pete mixed with different colours.
	So I think this is a development, and I expect that slowly but surely Black Pete will disappear from the television screens here in the Netherlands.
	Stefan Boss, GW's resident Dutchman.
	Wow!
	Great report!
	And this comes along, this is important, because there's protests.
	I mean, for the past couple of years, we've had the pro-Pete's and the anti-Pete's, you know, people literally yelling and screaming at each other while children are there waiting for the holy man to come on his steamboat from Spain with his black Pete's.
	So it's been very traumatizing.
	But this comes along with an interesting tweet from the Justice Department of the Netherlands.
	Justice and security or safety.
	From Sir Roderick Velo, who we all know, TPO podcast.
	He's been a longtime supporter of the show.
	There's been some changes in Dutch law for certain crimes.
	So if you participate in a criminal organization, you can now get 10 years jail time.
	If you have an illegal gun, which is any gun, if you're not licensed, and almost no one is, 8 years.
	If you...
	Participate in porn shaming.
	What's the term?
	You know, where you post some naked picture of your ex?
	Yeah.
	Something shaming.
	Something shaming.
	Two years of jail.
	And here's the one that he highlighted.
	Porn shaming, I think it is, yeah.
	Here's the one he highlighted.
	If you instigate hate, discrimination, and violence...
	I.e., the right to freedom of speech may not be misused to create a split in society.
	So, if you say something that causes a split in society, you can get two years of jail in the Netherlands.
	That means you can't say anything.
	Meanwhile...
	Oh, Black Pete!
	And I hereby call...
	Soot Pete.
	Soot Pete.
	I hereby call that we have to stop with Fat Santa Claus.
	It's turning...
	It's making fun of fat people because they're not always jolly, so they have to be jolly and they have to be generous and funny and wise.
	No!
	No more Fat Santa Claus.
	We may not hear anything on that, but I'm just saying it's ridiculous.
	Actually, if you put up a website and you started making a fuss, I think you could start a movement.
	I think you could.
	I got enough work on my hands with keeping a podcast going.
	Well, I thought you were sincere that you really wanted to stop Fat Santa.
	I'll let someone else take care of that work.
	God.
	No, no, no, no.
	That's Fat Santa.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Well, I thought you...
	I had a hunch you were unfamiliar with Soot Pete.
	I was not familiar with the Soot Pete, no.
	And I'm glad that I put those clips together to educate you about your own country.
	Thank you.
	Former residents.
	I want to go back.
	There's something coming up, and I want to put it on people's radars, to the Emmy Awards, which were the lowest rated ever, I believe.
	It was down 26%.
	I mean, why not?
	It was quite boring, most of it.
	There was no host.
	Yeah.
	Make a comment here?
	Yeah, please do.
	I failed to watch them.
	I had Monday Night Football on.
	Which was the winner of the night.
	But I wasn't even watching that.
	It was dinner time.
	But I failed to watch them.
	And then I realized the next day, as I read the overnights and looked at the Hollywood Reporter and these other trades, realized that I had missed them.
	And I said, well, I can always download it.
	There's places you can download these things.
	Mm-hmm.
	And watch it later and get some clips out of it.
	And then I failed to even do that.
	I was so disinterested.
	I don't need to listen to a bunch of Hollywood doofuses lecture me about one thing or another.
	I really found myself kind of repulsed by the show.
	I never even bothered to see a clip of it.
	We watched the whole thing.
	Oh, good.
	There wasn't really any super highlight, but what caught my eye...
	Of these award shows, I really like watching the red carpet, because that's where I can see what people are wearing, what they're really saying.
	Because it's not really well-staged or lit, you can...
	People often...
	Things shine through and you just see other things you may not see on the show itself.
	But something that came back continuously was October 8th.
	I think it was Laverne Cox, I think her name is, who was the trans woman who is most famous for her role in Orange is the New Black.
	And she was on the red carpet telling everybody about October 8th, October 8th, that the evil Trump administration is trying to make it possible for any employer to fire you just because you're trans!
	And this was a theme throughout the evening.
	It was called out on stage, and then Laverne would stand up and hold her purse, which was specially made by some designer I've never heard of, which said, trans life matters, whatever, October 8th, you know, because there's going to be a Supreme Court hearing on October 8th regarding Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
	So...
	I'm a no-agenda producer, so I want to find out what is going on.
	Can this be true?
	Is the Trump administration trying to create some kind of legislation so that any employer can fire a trans worker?
	This sounds horrible.
	So I go, and there's an amicus brief, which is a letter that is sent on behalf of friends of the court.
	A lot of documents.
	In fact, in all of the documents surrounding this October 8th case, the word transsexual does not even appear.
	All the cases that are mentioned are about gay men.
	There is mention of female same-sex partners, but certainly not of transsexuals.
	And I'm going to explain what's happening here.
	And it's really what's misunderstood in the Civil Rights Act.
	It is absolutely legal for an employer to either not hire you or to fire, and this is based on all the case law and the explanation in this brief.
	It is legal for you to be fired or not hired based upon the fact that you are gay.
	Because that has nothing to do with sex, and this is what they want changed.
	They want the meaning of the word sex to also mean gender, gender identification, anything but male and female reproductive systems.
	And you are allowed to not hire or fire someone based upon them being a gay male as long as you do the same.
	This is the equal rights part of the act.
	To a female who is gay and or living with a same-sex partner.
	So it would be crazy if employers could not decide who they want to hire.
	That is exactly what this movement is trying to do, is to solidify that anyone who...
	Claims they are not of a straight up and down orientation, heterosexual, that they will be protected.
	And it's fascinating to read this.
	I've put a PDF in the show notes that's highlighted and marked up so you can see it.
	Because you never really even consider that.
	You almost think that, oh, you can't fire someone because they're gay.
	Well, you can.
	As long as you're consistent between men and women.
	And for some reason, this is now, and it'll be just like this impeachment inquiry.
	It'll be just like the jewel.
	The media is spinning it, literally saying, Trump doesn't want anyone to be able to have to hire or can fire at will any transsexual person.
	And it's just not true.
	It's just a lie.
	And honestly, I think it's probably a good idea.
	I like the equality of it.
	I think you should be...
	Hey, look, I don't like the way you look.
	I'm not going to hire you.
	And that's okay as long as you could also say it to a woman whose look you don't like.
	You can't discriminate between the sexes.
	That's the law.
	If they want to change that...
	Write something new.
	Write another amendment or something.
	But this is a fight that is just ridiculous.
	And I'm all for trans people.
	I don't care.
	I'm from Amsterdam.
	We got black peats.
	I don't care.
	I don't care if they remove them and turn them into soot peats.
	But the Civil Rights Act, it's very simple.
	It's straight up and down.
	You can read it for yourself.
	It's not difficult to understand.
	But it's being misused.
	And I'm sick and tired of the lies that the media just propagates without reading anything.
	That's why we do this show, I guess.
	So it's well worth a look into that.
	This has been a trend.
	It's very noticeable in California to...
	Luckily, it's for bigger companies.
	I think under 25, you're pretty exempt from this.
	But they've been trying to make sure that you cannot be rejected because of your appearance.
	And this was promoted by...
	People in the San Francisco Bay Area, let's say, that have gauged ears, you know, big holes in their ears, and they're tatted, their faces are all tatted up, and they have horns embedded in their head.
	That's my favorite, that's my favorite, the horns.
	Some bone put in there, plastic surgery, so you look like you have two horns, and you have a big, your lip is pierced, and you just got a bunch of, you know, you're just horrible looking.
	And these people want to make sure that they don't get discriminated against because of their appearance.
	When in fact, if you're running a business, especially if it's public facing, you can't have some of these people...
	Being a public face of your company if they're going to gross people out.
	But you can.
	It's the company's own choice.
	They can do whatever they want.
	Well, that's what I'm saying.
	Yeah.
	In California, they're trying to make it so you can't do what you want.
	Right.
	You have to hire this guy.
	Yep.
	Bylaw.
	And as I learned from a long conversation with Mo, mofax.com, the connection between black Americans and LGBTQ as leverage to create legislation on behalf of wealthy, typically white people in America, goes back hundreds of years.
	You've heard of the Harlem Renaissance in the 20s?
	I don't know if you know about that.
	Nah.
	Okay.
	But anyway, three lesbian black women.
	I mean, it's amazing when you see how closely tied legislation is to LGBTQIAPK and black people in America.
	It is continuously put together and abused to create legislation that really only behooves rich people, and usually rich white people.
	It's mind-boggling when you think about it.
	But is it really that crazy to think when you see what is being pushed upon our children besides the climate crisis and emergency and making them all afraid?
	Now Mattel...
	Who have had their issues with their toys, have released a new toy.
	Kids right now, especially Gen Alpha kids, which are kids under the age of 10, they see gender very differently.
	They experience gender very differently.
	It's a perfect time to introduce this new doll line that is truly gender neutral.
	Introducing...
	A doll line designed to keep labels out and invite everyone in.
	The whole objective of this doll is eliminating all the adult labels that we put on it.
	From the kids, they did not want their toys to be labeled.
	They don't want rules set around their play.
	And what we heard from parents was an increasing concern about genderizing toys.
	This will be really challenging for a population of people.
	We will challenge people's points of view about how they think boys and girls should play.
	Well, you get the point.
	It just goes on and on.
	So they've released a gender-neutral doll, which can be both boy or girl.
	Or at the same time, you're going to have half the doll boy, half the doll girl.
	And the kids love it.
	There's evidence in the whole video.
	Kids love it.
	It's great.
	It's fantastic.
	And parents are concerned.
	I wonder why.
	No, they're concerned about gender.
	They said that we developed this because parents are concerned about gender-identifiable dolls.
	They don't want that.
	Parents want every doll to be just a zombie, neutral.
	Yes.
	Like their kids.
	You made a call on the last show.
	And you specifically said we need a Joe's gaffe of the week jingle.
	Do you have a Joe Biden gaffe for us?
	I do not have a...
	No, those, the Joe Biden gaffes, Or generally run on Sunday.
	Oh, okay.
	But, if you have a jingle, I'd like to hear it in advance.
	I have two.
	And you can choose, or we can alternate.
	The first one is from Sir Seatsitter.
	He's a little bit creepy, but mostly just sleepy.
	It's sleepy, creepy Uncle Joe.
	Joe Biden's Cat of the Week.
	Then we have one from one of our old buddies who is currently on the road with Bob Dylan's kids band, Sir Jeff Smith.
	No offense to Sir Seat Sitter, but Jeff Smith is a killer.
	That's the one you want.
	Because he can do those things.
	He's a jingle guy.
	He does that in the middle of the night.
	He can wake up and just write that and record it.
	He's a jingle guy.
	It seems simple, but it's not easy to do that stuff.
	He is indeed a jingle guy.
	That's so true.
	A good lyricist should be able to write jingles, and that's what he does.
	We have some outstanding end-of-show mixes.
	I think we have...
	We got a lot in of Greta, of course.
	There's just some really outstanding work.
	I don't even know if I can play them all for today's end-of-show unless we end on time.
	It's just so much.
	It's phenomenal.
	I'm blown away.
	Blown on time, no problem.
	Blown away.
	I did run into an NPR thing I wanted to play because it was funny.
	And it's kind of a...
	And normally, I don't want to go out of my way to defend a fellow podcaster who has done quite well for himself.
	In fact, made a lot of money.
	But it seems because he's now a podcaster who is demeaned, I thought.
	This guy, if you're familiar with Adrian Lamas, the hacker who died mysteriously.
	And he's the one who turned in Chelsea Manning.
	And they did a special on him trying to follow his career.
	It was very boring and it was too much of this kind of thing right up with the mic.
	I'm going to talk about it.
	But I just found this to be incredibly insulting to a mutual friend of ours, a podcaster.
	This was probably one of the few moments in Adrian Lamo's life when he was truly anonymous.
	Because before all this happened, he was a hacking rock star.
	You know him as a guy who hacked Yahoo, AOL, Time Warner, MCI, WorldCom, Microsoft, and very famously the New York Times, Adrian Lama, one of the most celebrated hackers in the world today.
	Welcome to the screen.
	The Screensavers was an old cable television show all about technology.
	It aired in the late 90s and early 2000s.
	And the host was a guy named Leo Laporte.
	Do you define yourself as a hacker?
	Do you consider yourself a hacker?
	It's not a term that I try to sell myself as people use hacker.
	He definitely had an original approach to things.
	Lorraine Murphy writes about hacking.
	So why is that disparaging?
	They make it sound like the guy's not in the biz.
	Some guy named Leo Laporte in the late 90s.
	They make it sound like he's like a nudnik from the past.
	You're using that word too often, Dvorak.
	I will stop using it.
	They make him sound like a schlemiel from the distant past when he's an active...
	He's in the business.
	I mean, that to me seemed insulting.
	And I'm not here to defend Leo, but I just thought that was the way they handled it.
	I just thought it was insulting.
	There's another clip from Leo, which I put in the show notes, because I want people just to hear it.
	It would fall under the Green New Deal.
	I'm not going to say anything about it, but he deserves to be kind of disparaged after that one.
	Well, that's another story.
	But that's a different reason, too.
	Yeah, I know.
	know i'm just saying time for that off the grid segment We are all OTG kind of guys.
	And I wanted to start with the truth that always wants to come out.
	And maybe I'm just looking too much into it.
	Maybe I'm hearing too much.
	But Amazon did a big presentation yesterday of their new Echo line.
	Echo, Echo.
	Familiarly known as Alexa, but they have to stick with their branding for some odd reason.
	I guess they couldn't trademark Alexa.
	Although Echo must be hard, too.
	And they've got it in a ring.
	They've got some kind of mood ball that kids love.
	And it's just the spy stuff.
	It's just spy stuff.
	It's microphones with the speaker.
	The microphone's always listening.
	And it's trying to interpret what you're saying or what else it might be hearing.
	And they have a new product.
	But listen closely to what the presenter says.
	I'm pretty excited because we have two different day one edition products to show you.
	The first one we call echo frames.
	Frames!
	And this is them.
	Echo frames allow you to get done more around you and be more present in the everyday.
	They look just like regular prescription glasses.
	In fact, the fact that I'm still talking to you says they are prescription glasses.
	They have my lenses in them.
	And they're incredibly comfortable.
	They are only 31 grams.
	You barely know that you have them.
	And we intentionally not put a display in them.
	We not put a camera in them.
	We want you to focus on your everyday.
	And Alexa should be here to augment that through the day.
	And built into this is very discreet directional microphones that allow me to hear what's going on, but not the world around me.
	Now this is the problem I have with what he's saying.
	He's saying this has very discreet microphones, which allow me to hear the world that's going on and not everybody.
	What he might have meant to say was, speakers...
	So that he can hear what these frames, these glasses are saying, But is he really as an Amazon Echo leader?
	Is he not saying, we want to make sure that I, Amazon, can hear what's going on around you?
	I think the truth came out here.
	Let's listen again.
	Texas should be here to augment that through the day.
	And built into this is very discreet directional microphones that allow me to hear what's going on, but not the world around me.
	Am I just looking too far into this?
	Well, I'm not going to say that.
	It's kind of confusing what he's saying.
	What is he talking about?
	Unless what you say is probably what he's talking about, which is that he's representing Amazon, and so he can hear everything that you're hearing.
	Yes.
	Because it doesn't make sense what he said otherwise.
	And maybe it was just a really dumb mistake.
	But that's how it came out.
	So what are these things?
	It's glasses.
	So it's spectacles with just glass in it.
	And it connects to your phone through Bluetooth, and it just looks like my glasses, my black-rimmed glasses, nothing spectacular.
	You can put prescription lenses in them.
	There's microphones in the glassware?
	Microphones in the feet, in the stems, what do you call them?
	Feet, stems?
	The back?
	No, the things that go behind your ear.
	Yeah, so it's the back.
	That's the back.
	No, no, not the back.
	It's the sides.
	It's the whole thing.
	Okay, so they got two microphones on the little ear stems.
	Yeah, stems.
	Exactly.
	And then two speakers.
	So in other words, what your ear is hearing, this also the microphones are hearing because they're right next to your ear hole.
	No, there's nothing in your ear hole.
	No, they're right next to it.
	They're close.
	They're behind it.
	They're behind your ear hole.
	Well, they could be sticking out.
	Well, he had them on, so I saw it.
	I saw the presentation.
	Okay, so they're behind his ear.
	They're behind his ear, yes.
	And the microphones are in there so that you can walk around and go, Hey, Alexa, what time is it?
	Oh, it's waiting for you to start saying it?
	And then it has some speakers or what?
	Yeah, it has little speakers.
	That's what he maybe meant to say, so only I can hear what Alexa is saying.
	So it has little...
	So the thing to hold the...
	Does it vibrate or is it a big speaker?
	I don't know how this works.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	Why would anyone want this?
	No.
	Amazon wants you to buy.
	They're practically giving this stuff away.
	It's all $69.
	Oh, it's cheap.
	It's real cheap.
	The frames are nice and they're giving it away.
	Well, not giving it away, but almost.
	It's $69 to $79, which is cheap for frames.
	And it has all this stuff in there.
	They're taking a loss on that.
	They don't care.
	They just want to listen to what you're doing and sell you some gear.
	But, um, by far...
	Wait, wait, stop.
	This is what I'm interested in now.
	There's no cameras, unfortunately, but there are, things can pick up the sound around you.
	So in other words, can you record this?
	Can you use it as a recording device?
	Or you can use it like as a, uh, an eavesdropping system?
	Well, I don't think it's intended for that.
	I don't think you can do that.
	Look, only Amazon has that capability.
	So I guess if you say Alexa and then it starts recording, you can go into your Alexa account and see what it recorded, but no, it's not a very good way to do it.
	They got a ring, so you press the ring and then you talk into the ring and you put the ring to your ear.
	It's just like...
	And everyone...
	Yeah, CNET is like, oh, this is great!
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is fantastic!
	I'm really loving all this quackle stuff!
	I probably should have waited for this one, but...
	Did you see Boris Johnson at the United Nations General Assembly?
	No, I did not.
	He went over-the-top OTG, out of his effing mind, and I loved it.
	Mr.
	President, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, faithful late-night audience, it's customary for the British Prime Minister to come to this United Nations and pledge to advance our values and defend our rules,
	the rules of a peaceful world, and protecting What do you think he's going to say?
	What do you think he's going to talk about?
	Well, if he talks about 5G, that would make sense.
	Oh, way beyond that.
	Not just 5G, OTG. When I think of the great scientific revolutions of the past, print, the steam engine, aviation, the atomic age, I think of new tools that we acquired, but over which we, the human race, had the advantage, which we controlled.
	And that is not necessarily the case in the digital age.
	You may keep your secrets from your friends, from your parents, your children, your doctor, even your personal trainer, but it takes real effort to conceal your thoughts From Google.
	And if that is true today, in future, there may be nowhere to hide.
	Smart cities will pollulate with sensors, all joined together by the Internet of Things, bollards communing invisibly with lampposts, so there is always a parking space for your electric car, so that no bin goes unemptied, no street unswept, and the urban environment is as antiseptic as a Zurich pharmacy.
	But this technology could also be used to keep every citizen under round-the-clock surveillance.
	A future Alexa will pretend to take orders.
	But this Alexa will be watching you, clucking her tongue and stamping her foot.
	In future, voice connectivity will be in every room and almost every object.
	Your mattress will monitor your nightmares.
	Your fridge will beep for more cheese.
	Your front door will sweep wide the moment you approach like some silent butner.
	Your smart meter will go hustling of its own accord for the cheapest electricity.
	And every one of them minutely transcribing your every habit in tiny electronic shorthand stored.
	Not in their chips or in their innards.
	nowhere you can find it, but in some great cloud of data that lowers ever more oppressively over the human race.
	A giant dark thundercloud Waiting to burst.
	And we have no control over how or when the precipitation will take place.
	And every day that we tap on our phones or work on our iPads, as I see some of you are doing now, we not only leave our indelible spore in the ether, but we are ourselves becoming a resource,
	click by click, tap by tap, Do you want me to go on?
	Another minute and thirty.
	Oh, God, this is great.
	By the way, before you continue, I've been saying this for the last 30 years.
	Oh, of course.
	This is nothing new, except you didn't hear about this.
	Because, you know, it's not a big thing on the Silicon Valley companies.
	No, they're not going to play this.
	They're not really promoting it.
	Only the No Agenda show.
	Plays this sort of thing, and as you ask me if you ever want to go another minute and a half, of course!
	We'll play the whole thing.
	Just as the Carboniferous period created the indescribable wealth, leaf by decaying leaf, of hydrocarbon's data.
	of the modern economy.
	And we're now in an environment where we don't know who should own these new oil fields.
	We don't know who should have the rights or the title to these gushers of cash.
	And we don't know who decides how to use that data.
	And can these algorithms be trusted with our lives and hopes?
	Should the machines...
	And only the machines decide whether or not we are eligible for a mortgage or insurance or what surgery or medicines we should receive.
	Are we doomed to a cold and heartless future in which computer says yes or computer says no with the grim finality of an emperor in the arena?
	How do you plead with an algorithm?
	How do you get it to see extenuating circumstances?
	And how do we know That the machines have not been insidiously programmed to fool us or even to cheat us.
	We're already using all kinds of messaging services that offer instant communication at minimal cost.
	And these same programs, platforms, could also be designed for real-time censorship of every conversation with offending words automatically deleted.
	Indeed.
	In some countries, this happens today.
	Digital authoritarianism is not, alas, the stuff of dystopian fantasy, but of an emerging reality.
	And the reason I'm giving this speech today, with this slightly gloomy proem, is that the UK is one of the world's tech leaders, and I believe governments have been simply caught unawares by the unintended consequences of the internet.
	A scientific breakthrough.
	Far more reaching in its everyday psychological impact than any other invention since Gutenberg.
	And he went on for a little bit longer, but that was the best part, the first five minutes.
	I was blown away by it.
	I'm like, damn, yes!
	It was great, but what was the point?
	Just not to talk about Brexit.
	I guess.
	And he also got to give the needle to some people who apparently were on iPads while he's talking.
	Oh, yeah.
	But here's what I was thinking.
	You know, when he fails to Brexit, which we've predicted, and I think it was probably...
	It'll not happen.
	He'll get kicked out.
	He won't be prime minister.
	I think, seeing as he was born in Manhattan, he should probably give 2020 a go.
	He could...
	He's U.S. born.
	He's old enough.
	enough he could run for president.
	He's U.S. born.
	You didn't know?
	Didn't you know that?
	Never been a citizen.
	No, I think he...
	I think legally he could be.
	I think he can, yeah.
	I give 2020 a guess.
	Yeah, that's what we need.
	Yes!
	Yes!
	That's exactly what we need.
	Like blah, blah, blah.
	Yes, I would love to see Trump...
	I think it's more than anyone could take.
	I want to see Trump and Boris Johnson debate each other.
	That would be the best ever.
	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.
	Yeah, we do have a few people to thank for show 1176, starting with Sir Herb Lamb, Earl of Georgia from Sugar Hill.
	$160.16.
	It's been 59 days since his last donation.
	It's one of his long spells.
	Unusual.
	Kevin Coburna in North Olmsted, Ohio.

	Tyler Hebb.
	In Melrose, Massachusetts, that's one, two, three, four, five.

	But now he's in the Pacific Northwest.
	Kind of the same.
	John Libick, birthday coming up, $99.99 in Glen Gardner, New Jersey.
	Anthony Fields in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, 9269.
	Brian Klimchak, I'm guessing, 75.

	He does have a call out.
	Love the show.
	Please keep up the great work.
	My donation goes on.
	He says it's worth more, I guess, 76 bucks in Scandinavian money.
	Let's see.
	It's to be put towards Julia Knauss' knighthood.
	Oh, the Knausses are back.
	Well, he's not a Knauss, but people are donating to other people's knight or damehoods.
	I think that's fantastic.
	Well, somebody's got to do some bookkeeping on this because we don't do that.
	And so somebody has to...
	Julia, you're listening?
	Yes, I'm sure she's listening.
	Start making notes.
	Every time somebody does, ah, it's another 70...
	And by the way, it is credited to 7641 Canadian, which is 7641.
	So do your own, do some accounting, Julia.
	Anyway, he needs a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And he was hit in the mouth by Eric Naus, and has been a regular listener since October 2016.
	I'd like to call out my 11-year-old son, Chase, as a douchebag.
	By the way, most 11-year-old kids are douchebags no matter what.
	Yeah, you don't have to call them.
	There's no need to call them.
	It's like, we all know.
	John Kruse, we continue.

	Yeah, very nice.
	Nice list there.
	And of course, we also have people under $50.
	Most of these, or a lot of them for anonymity, $49.99, so they don't want to be mentioned.
	We will make no mistake, because that's the hard line.
	We stop.
	But also, people on our subscriptions.
	There's a lot of different ways you can support us financially, and you can find all that at dvorak.org.
	I know, it's like, what?
	How do I remember that?
	Just ask your kids to remember.
	They love the jingle.
	dvorak.org.
	I have a special karma shout-out from my buddy Gregory David Jacobs that I wanted to do first.
	I'll give him a goat twist.
	You've got karma.
	And people who need the jobs.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma. You've got karma.
	Well, we're ending the month.

	His son, Justin the Douchebag, turned 32 on the 15th of September.

	And thank you both for your support of the No Agenda Show, the best podcast in the universe.
	You know, I have a meet-up report today.
	It's like a party!
	From the Burning Man meetup.
	Hello?
	Jean-Claude?
	Did you just give up on me?
	Okay.
	I'm going to stop for a second.
	What, what, Jean?
	Yeah, can I hear?
	Hello, do you hear me?
	Okay.
	Now, tell me what happened.
	The power went out there.
	The whole area.
	We have an area like blackout.
	Okay.
	Let me see.
	Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie.
	Charlie, do we have an emergency generator anywhere in the Berkeley area?
	Hey Jamie, can you drive to Berkeley and give John some power?
	A little bit out of my range.
	I do have a 2,000 watt inverter on board, but unfortunately, Berkeley's a little loud.
	Yeah, copy that.
	Jamie's in there.
	I'm actually streaming this.
	Jamie's in an 18-wheeler in Texas.
	Let me see John.
	I think Connecticut N1ID. Are you there, John?
	Yeah, I'm here.
	N1ID. Well, can you get over with a generator to Berkeley?
	Yeah, you could wait like three days for me to drive it over.
	Roger that.
	I'm just fooling around.
	All right, I'm going to get back to the podcast.
	Let me see.
	N1ID, N3OP, thanks for coming back.
	I'm going to go QRT again.
	K5ACC, Austin.
	And that's how we do it.
	Tell me what's happening.
	My power is out.
	And you have no wind or solar at your disposal?
	It's not blowing.
	The wind's not blowing, so the turbine's not going to be producing anything, and it's kind of overcast.
	So I can't watch the TV.
	Okay.
	Alright, so I'll just take us out then and end it, and I'll do all of the end-of-show mixes that came in.
	How does that sound?
	Sounds like a winner.
	That'll clear it.
	Okay.
	See ya.
	Alright.
	Adios.
	Adios.
	Well, there you go.
	Let down by the grid once again.
	And that will conclude this broadcast, I'm sad to say.
	I don't think that's ever happened where we actually had to just cut the show off.
	Well, the good news is we have a ton of end-of-show mixes.
	We've got UK PMX, who's back on the scene.
	Good to have him back.
	Jesse Coy Nelson, hero protagonist, with vocals by Blaha.
	We've got Fletcher, Sir Seatsitter, and, of course, the ever-effervescent Sir Chris Wilson, all bringing you their end-of-show mixes.
	It's Greta Heavy, but man, is it good.
	And I am coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in Austin, Texas.
	We are the capital of the drone star state.
	You can find it in FEMA Region No.
	6 on all governmental maps.
	John, of course, is from northern Silicon Valley, California.
	We will return on Sunday, hopefully with some power restored.
	Until then...
	Remember us at dvorak.org slash na and adios mofos and such.
	This is all wrong.
	The world is waking up.
	I shouldn't be up here.
	I should be back in school.
	I shouldn't be up here.
	Bye.
	Bye.
	I should be back in school.
	No matter how sad and angry I am, I should be back in school.
	No matter how sad and angry I am, I should be back in school.
	Change is coming, whether you like it or not.
	You are still not mature enough to tell it like it is.
	The world is waking up.
	This is all wrong.
	I shouldn't be up here.
	I should be back at school.
	This is all wrong.
	I shouldn't be up here.
	I should be back in school, on the other side of the ocean.
	Yet, you all come to us young people for hope.
	How dare you?
	Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face.
	Brush off the clouds and cheer up, put on a happy face.
	How dare you?
	You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.
	Here's a little song I wrote.
	You might want to sing it note for note.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	How dare you?
	You are still not mature enough to tell it like it is.
	But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal.
	I don't think you're happy enough.
	That's right.
	I'll teach you to be happy.
	I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs.
	Now, boys and girls, let's try it again.
	How dare you?
	Have I hurt you?
	Don't be silly.
	Acting!
	Brilliant!
	Thank you.
	It's crafting my news feed.
	And I ain't seen Alex Jones since my computer disagreed.
	I'm stuck in Algo prison.
	My timeline's not my own.
	But the Algo keeps a-running.
	And I keep checking my phone.
	When I was just an incel, my mama told me, son, Always be a good slave.
	Don't ever meme for fun.
	But I trolled a man on Facebook just to watch him cry.
	When I see that owl go running, I-L-O-L and sigh.
	I've got my channel going.
	It's the trending words to search.
	Subscribers added daily.
	And I'm selling lots of merch.
	But I ran afoul of ShareBlue.
	They'll demonetize me.
	They'll shadow ban my channel.
	Not advertiser friendly.
	Not advertiser friendly.
	Well, if they freed me from suspension, if that view count was mine, I think I'd glitch the code and toss my safety to the side.
	Far from Algo Prison, that's where I want to stay.
	I guess I'll hop on 20 meters, say what I want to say.
	Change is coming, whether you like it or not.
	Whether you like it or not.
	Whether you like it or not.
	Change is coming, whether you like it or not.
	With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budget will be entirely gone within less than eight and a half years.
	Eight and a half years.
	These numbers are too uncomfortable.
	These numbers are too uncomfortable. Too uncomfortable. Too uncomfortable. Too uncomfortable.
	How dare you?
	We will never forgive you.
	We will never forgive you.
	Never forgive you.
	The world is waking up.
	Waking up.
	Waking up.
	The world is waking up.
	Waking up.
	Waking up.
	The world is waking up.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Greta Thunberg.
	We're getting Greta.
	All the time.
	Yes, I'll admit we're getting Greta.
	We're getting Greta.
	She's out of her mind.
	Getting so much Greta all the time.
	We're getting Greta all the time.
	Greta.
	Greta.
	We're getting Greta all the time.
	Greta, Greta, getting so much greater all the time.
	The best podcast in the universe!
