	We're special.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, October 27th, 2019, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1185.
	This is no agenda.
	Celebrating 12 years not a slave and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 in 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 state's on fire, as usual, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Well, congratulations, John.
	We've done it again.
	Twelve years.
	Twelve years.
	Twelve years we celebrate.
	Foam finger number one.
	Yay.
	And still no exit strategy in sight.
	Yay.
	You know, we're destined to do this until the end of our days.
	Until the squeak is no more on the chair and I crumple in a little heap of bones on the floor.
	This is where you say something uplifting.
	You say, no!
	Twelve more, he said!
	Twelve more years!
	We can do it!
	We can do it.
	I can't even get the chair to squeak today.
	It was nice.
	A lot of the notes that have come in, we'll talk about them later, of course.
	So nice to see how much value people get from the show.
	And it's easy for us to...
	To not stop and smell those roses once in a while?
	Or the smoke in my case.
	Yes.
	Hey, you know, I want to talk about the smoke in a minute because I've found out some interesting bits and bobs, I think, about what's going on in your neck of the woods.
	You do have power, though.
	Did it go off at all?
	No.
	I don't have a problem where I am.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Well, that's good.
	And you'll never have trouble where you are?
	Well, it depends.
	They might, you know, decide to put the screws to the whole state and just shut the whole state down.
	That's always possible.
	Yes.
	Okay, well, hold that thought.
	Because first, I want to commend our commander-in-chief, our president, Donald J. Trump, for finally coming around to acting like a real American president and killing al-Baghdadi once again!
	I don't know how many times this guy got to get killed.
	Finally, he's presidential!
	ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is believed to have been killed in a U.S. military raid in northwest Syria.
	I love this part.
	What you're seeing is nighttime video taken by Syrian activists as a military operation got underway in northern Idlib province that's near the Turkish border.
	CNN cannot confirm that this was the actual raid targeting Abu Dhabi.
	Could have been somewhere in Kentucky.
	We don't know.
	A U.S. defense official tells CNN that al-Baghdadi apparently detonated a suicide vest as U.S. special forces closed in.
	DNA analysis will confirm whether it is in fact al-Baghdadi.
	The Islamic cleric has been in hiding for five years and we're being told that locating him was based on CIA intelligence.
	Couple things here.
	One, I like that it's based on CIA intelligence, so, you know, interesting where this operation came from.
	Two, we have DNA of Baghdadi that we can compare it against?
	That I didn't know.
	Maybe they have his beard somewhere locked up.
	Then three, and I know this from our military intelligence producers, when you blow yourself up with a suicide vest, the head actually pops off into the sky like a bottle rocket.
	Yes.
	So we should have that thing on a stick.
	So they should have his head on a stick by now.
	A stick.
	A stick.
	And of course, I could go back, I think, almost 10 years probably and find some Al Baghdadi is dead clips.
	I got one.
	Well, yes.
	We have to back up and re-inform everybody that Al Baghdadi is a made up name, meaning the guy from Baghdad.
	But they always show the same photo of the same dude.
	No, I don't think so.
	I've seen different photos of different al-Baghdadi's.
	There's been at least three of them.
	He's like the Dalai Lama.
	He just keeps being reincarnated, so there'll always be an al-Baghdadi.
	I can't even say it anymore.
	It's ludicrous.
	And then you have Trump saying, according to CNN, you can't believe these reports, of course.
	Oh, he cried like a baby.
	And what's the guy doing walking around with his suicide?
	Oh no, apparently he sleeps with it.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh sure he does.
	That's comfortable.
	You know what's great?
	I was just downstairs getting my coffee and the keeper came back from a workout.
	She's like, hey, uh...
	We got this al-Baghdadi guy.
	But, you know, I've only been with her for five years.
	She hasn't been listening to No Agenda prior to that.
	And I said, you know, it's interesting.
	The No Agenda nation is tickled pink about this because we remember these things.
	And I think it even went a little bit further.
	Fox News was tweeting out...
	Um, Tina was reading this to me.
	Like, uh, he didn't even tell Nancy Pelosi was afraid that, you know, she might lose lips mine six ships, and then we couldn't have got him, so he didn't tell Nancy.
	It's like, stop this bullshit!
	Here, just, let's take it back a few years.
	Ten armed trucks were destroyed in the attack.
	But in a statement, an official from US Central Command said, we cannot confirm if IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was among those present.
	This strike demonstrates the pressure we continue to place on the IS terrorist network and the group's increasingly limited freedom to manoeuvre, communicate and command.
	It's not the first time there's been speculation about the IS leader being killed or injured.
	A day after such rumours in July, the terror group uploaded this video, claiming to show al-Baghdadi preaching at a mosque in Mosul.
	The airstrike comes shortly after President Obama revealed plans to send an extra 1,500 U.S. troops to Iraq.
	But their role will be non-combat, advising and assisting Iraqi government forces in their fight against the jihadists.
	That's how old this is.
	That's how old this bullcrap goes back.
	And it was before, I think, 20...
	probably 2011 we have this guy being killed.
	And I... I think the idea is we went into Syria, we had to get ISIS guy, we had to fight ISIS something, I don't know, no boots on the ground, but we're there, advisors insist, and we need to go away now.
	We killed the guy, time to leave!
	I mean, come on!
	Very, very lame.
	Just lame.
	And if we follow the script, what we'll get next, just like the previous two times we followed this, ISIS will be in America, everybody!
	They're coming to get us!
	We are here, hashtag America, near our hashtag target.
	Soon.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah, they're coming!
	Ow!
	ISIS! Oh!
	We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS. I feel good!
	See, that's how you know how old these things are, because this was all created the last time we killed him.
	And the jingle's at least a decade old.
	ISIS, ISIS, baby.
	ISIS, ISIS, baby.
	You know, so next we have to get ISIS in America, and if we follow the script, then we'll have, when we have, we're going to have something bad happen.
	It's never gone past that part of the script.
	Well, no, no, the script is always called for ISIS then to be in America.
	It resets after we're going to get ISIS in America.
	Right, then we go back to killing it.
	Then we have homegrown terrorism.
	Don't forget that concept.
	Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly.
	Ah, it's beautiful.
	It's beautiful.
	So, yeah, so needless to say, we're not buying this crap.
	Killed the guy.
	He slept in his suicide vest.
	Why?
	Why?
	Wouldn't it be better to be a martyr?
	You guys have been hiding out for five years wearing a suicide belt.
	It doesn't make sense.
	It just doesn't make sense.
	What does this button do?
	Oh, man.
	And then we have the thousands of indictments.
	It's not just me who's been saying this.
	This is beautiful.
	Thousands and thousands of indictments.
	The president is...
	They're coming.
	They're coming.
	They're sealed right now.
	They're sealed.
	They're always sealed.
	The deep state is going down.
	By the way, they're sealed with a kiss.
	Oh, yes.
	Wow.
	Trump did one of his helipad stand-ups on the South Lawn to talk to the mainstream press, the M5M, and he told them, like, you know, hey, I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I think thousands have sealed indictments.
	Did he say look-see?
	There's been a long-time look-see?
	Really?
	As you know, there's been a long-term look-at, look-see, and it looks like it's been- A look-see?
	Why would he say that?
	He said it, this code.
	Oh.
	Coming very serious from what I'm hearing.
	Investigate the investigators.
	Ah, indictments!
	Whether it's Struck and Page, whether it's Clapper, and whether it's Comey and all of these people.
	Comey and Comey.
	Because terrible things went on for our country.
	And we have a great attorney general, highly prestigious man, a very honorable man, and they've been looking at it for a long time.
	I can't tell you what's happening.
	I will tell you this.
	I think you're going to see a lot of really bad things.
	And a lot of people think that, and they know they have problems because they were very dishonest.
	And again, I leave it all up to the Attorney General, and I leave it all up to the people that are working with the Attorney General, who I don't know.
	But I will say this, I think you'll see things that nobody would have believed.
	This was the worst hoax ever.
	In the history of our country.
	And a lot of people say that the phony deal on impeachment, where I have a perfect conversation with the president of Ukraine, and they're using that to impeach one of the most successful presidents.
	We're going to hit another stock market high.
	We have the best jobs reports.
	We have the best unemployment numbers.
	We have the best employment.
	More people working today in the United States than ever before.
	Okay.
	According to the bullshit stash.
	Motivational speaker.
	Right.
	By the way, eight-car Zephyr.
	Hmm.
	We're short.
	Yeah.
	Short bust today.
	So this is in regards to Attorney General Barr's probe turning criminal!
	Criminal!
	Oh yes, now, now the sealed indictments are coming to light.
	And it's got people worried.
	Interesting, he named a number of people.
	Strzok, Page, Comey, Clapper.
	Who was missing from that lineup?
	The person who was missing was Brennan.
	Yeah, he wasn't missing from most of the lineups.
	Oh, just this one?
	Okay.
	I have two clips.
	Well, I was going to play a bit of Clapper, who was very surprised by this.
	Do you want to hear that first before we go to your clip?
	Oh, definitely.
	I love hearing James Clapper.
	He's inspirational.
	He's a former director of national intelligence who knows nothing.
	Continuously, shit what happened in the world, and he'd be asked about it.
	He said, oh, what?
	What was that one time that something really big happened and he didn't know about it?
	Somebody got assassinated or some horrible thing, and they asked him about it.
	He said, what?
	What?
	Something happened?
	That guy also lied in Congress.
	He's out of the loop.
	He is out of the loop.
	So we have Anderson Pooper talking to Jeffrey Toobin, who's a constitutional lawyer.
	And, you know, we've got to bring Clapper in because all of a sudden the probe has gone criminal!
	Director Clapper, as the man who, you know, was there and oversaw the launch of the Russian investigation, what do you make of this?
	Well, actually, I'm very curious.
	Presumably, I guess I'm one of those under investigation.
	Yeah.
	And you just heard about this.
	Yes, I just read the clip.
	No, it's better than that.
	You just heard about it.
	Yes, listen to what he says.
	And you just heard about this.
	Yes, I just read the clip.
	I just read the clip?
	What the hell?
	Or does he mean news clipping?
	Is he that old that when he says clip, he means news clipping?
	Nobody's that old.
	Yes, I just read the clip about 20 minutes ago.
	I found the timing interesting.
	Oh, yes, it's a distraction!
	Given the increasing heat around the impeachment inquiry.
	And so the timing is interesting.
	I'll just let go of that.
	Okay, just leave it go, because clearly it's a distraction.
	And the other thing I wonder about is whether we're talking about the overall investigation of the Russian, reporting on the Russian interference, or are we talking about the counterintelligence investigation?
	What do you think?
	I'm really confused.
	What is this criminal investigation about?
	It was launched in July by the FBI about potential engagement and collusion, whatever you want to call it, between the Russians and the Trump campaign.
	What do you think it is?
	What is the alleged criminal activity that prompted this?
	Do you have any idea what they might think may rise to the level of a criminal offense?
	No, I don't.
	That's obviously an item of great interest to me.
	What is it that any of us did that would rise to the level of a criminal infraction?
	I just don't know.
	I'm flabbergasted!
	Going to the FISA court illegally?
	Might that be one of them?
	No, luckily...
	Jeffrey Toobin was on hand to explain the conspiracy theory.
	I can tell you what the theory has been, is that there is this Ms.
	Fudd character who works in a university in Italy, and the theory has been that somehow the deep state, people in the CIA, planted with him the idea that...
	Interesting to note that he thinks the deep state is people in the CIA. Yeah.
	That was an interesting little giveaway.
	Planted with him the idea that the Russians were helping Trump.
	Ms.
	Food told it to various campaign officials, George Papadopoulos among others.
	It got back to the FBI and that's what launched the investigation.
	Perfect!
	He nailed it!
	It's exactly right!
	The deep state started this investigation.
	There's no evidence.
	As far as I'm aware, to support that hypothesis, it is clearly, I mean, it is at this point just a right-wing fantasy, but that, I think, is the core allegation.
	If I might add to what Jeffrey just said, I'd just make the point that that had absolutely nothing to do With the intelligence community assessment that was done in January of 2017 and briefed to...
	That's his defense?
	That had nothing to do with the assessment?
	He makes his...
	Toobin says there's no proof of this and meanwhile...
	Clapper's kind of saying it's true, but it had nothing to do with it.
	What's wrong with these people?
	President-elect Trump and his team at the Trump Tower on January 6th.
	So those are, again, separate things.
	And that is a really far-fetched theory, in my view, that somehow MISF was set up by the FBI to create this conspiracy that he was trying to generate the impression that the Russians that somehow MISF was set up by the FBI to create this conspiracy They explained it beautifully, which is the nutty thing.
	And I can tell you what's coming next, because we already got a preview of that on the last episode.
	You will hear this was I'm watching this unfold.
	I'm thinking, OK, so my our internal joke, thousands of sealed indictments.
	Here we go.
	It's finally happening.
	But to people like Chunk, Chunk Ugar, at the Fine Young Cannibal Turks, this is how he sees it, and his prognostication is coming true.
	I'm here to tell you, and I hope it never comes to fruition, and again, I don't think it's going to because I think we're going to fight back and we're going to win, but if Donald Trump were to be re-elected, I guarantee you he will start locking people up.
	Yes, exactly.
	And this is what people...
	You're going to start seeing this everywhere.
	Oh my God, he's turned full dictator.
	He's abusing the entire Justice Department to lock up his political opponents.
	Over and over again, that we should lock up his political opponents.
	People who think he's kidding...
	He said that.
	You heard it over and over again, right?
	He said he should lock up his political opponents.
	I heard it over and over again.
	That's what he does.
	And as a quick reminder, go look up Bill Barr's defending of FBI snipers at Ruby Ridge and tell me this guy's on the up and up.
	I'm not believing that.
	So let's listen to two extremes of this, whatever it is that's going on, which is, I think, kind of the...
	Same thing I get from the Lib Joes, only the other way around.
	This is a guy who does one of the many hosts they now have at InfoWars.
	And this guy could – I'm only going to play a minute 26 of this, Robert Barnes.
	He comes on and he does about, I don't know, 45 minutes of nonstop blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And it's all about the indictments and all the rest of it.
	Robert Barnes here with a special Saturday breaking news report and information and a deep insight into what is happening in the Spygate investigation, what is happening in impeachment, what is happening in the Giuliani case, what is happening in the Roger Stone case, and how they all interrelate and interact with one another.
	Breaking news out of Washington today is that former FBI general counsel James Baker has flipped and will be testifying against James Comey, will be testifying against Andrew McCabe, will be testifying against former associate counsel Lisa Page, former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strozik.
	And other personnel involved in the attempts to set up and ambush General Mike Flynn, the attempts to set up President Trump, the attempts to illicitly spy on the Trump campaign through the investigation and the illicit FISA warrants on Carter Page,
	and other activities including information that may implicate former CIA Director John Brennan, former National Security Director James Clapper, James
	Baker?
	The problem was using the name James Baker.
	There's about 50 of them that have always been associated with the government.
	Yes.
	This particular James Baker.
	I had to look him up.
	It's not the one I'm thinking of.
	James Baker goes back to Clinton, doesn't it?
	The one I'm thinking of?
	There's different.
	That's the point.
	What a mistake.
	There's James Bakers that go back to Reagan.
	There's James Baker.
	It's a very common Washington name.
	This James Baker I never heard of.
	But he's apparently flipped.
	He's flipped.
	And he's got the exact right name to do it because his name is James Baker.
	So if you have a hero of James Baker in your family, make him go into government service.
	So that's kind of, you know, he goes on and on and on.
	He goes nuts.
	Now, in a more, I'd say, a shorter version, 35 seconds worth, this is...
	Amy Goodman kind of summarizing things, and this is the clip, how the left sees the Barr investigation.
	Very simple.
	Justice departments opened a criminal investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation in the latest move by the White House to discredit the work of special counsel Robert Mueller.
	The move by Attorney General Bill Barr will give the Justice Department the power to subpoena witnesses and to convene grand juries and to file criminal charges.
	Congressmember Gerald Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted in response, These reports, if true, raise profound new concerns that the Department of Justice under A.G. Barr has lost its independence and become a vehicle for President Trump's political revenge, he said.
	Oh, brother.
	Revenge!
	He's not the attorney of the United States.
	He's the attorney of the president.
	Well, you know what?
	He needs one.
	Because that Giuliani character is not doing a great job.
	I think Giuliani's doing fine.
	No, no, no, no.
	If you see Giuliani and Laurie Ingram, he's doing fine.
	No, wait.
	Did you not hear the butt dial call?
	We talked about in the last show the butt dial call.
	I didn't remember that.
	Yeah, it was dumb.
	Yeah, but I don't think we talked about it, but okay.
	I believe we did.
	I believe we didn't.
	Well, it was like he apparently sat on his phone and then they could hear...
	I don't know about you, but I've heard many a Butt-Dell calls that have come in.
	Yes.
	And I've never been able to decipher one single one.
	That was going to be my point, is that people put such great importance on this, and I've listened to it.
	I have the clip, but it doesn't make any difference, because you can't hear anything.
	And I sat there for two minutes, and I realized how often I've done this.
	Mainly from you, quite honestly.
	I don't carry a phone.
	No, when you do, you butt-dial, and when you butt-dial, you butt-dial me.
	Because I'm at the top of everybody's list.
	I am the number one butt-dialed man in America.
	A? Yes.
	I'm the number one butt-dialed guy.
	Well, I've gotten butt-dialed by everybody, including you, I might add.
	And all you hear on the other end is...
	There's nothing.
	I have sat on butt-dialed calls for a long time.
	Now, in the olden days, when the phones were rigged funny, the regular landlines, and they would just open up a line...
	Yeah, if you didn't hang up, then it would stay open on the other end.
	It could.
	There's different, and sometimes some mechanism would take place and the thing would just open up.
	You could hear very clearly off of a landline because the phone's in the air, it's more ambient.
	But the butt does, and some guy's butt's in your pocket to begin with.
	It's useless.
	But there is Giuliani sitting there going like, we need money.
	We need hundreds of thousands of dollars.
	And that was enough.
	What more do you need?
	It's all about perception.
	So for you to say Giuliani's just fine, no, he looks like a moron.
	He's not just fine.
	He's fine on the Laurie Ingram show.
	I guess you watch.
	I don't.
	Well, I watch clips.
	Now, the funny thing about this last one, the way he had...
	The way Amy saw it was, it was just to nullify the Mueller report, which nullified itself.
	Yeah, because it was so strong.
	It's in there.
	And then the other thing was to get revenge, you know, which is what he's going to do anyway.
	But I don't know.
	This to me is the exact same when you hear the Libjos go on about how Putin is running the country.
	This is the right-wing version of The indictments and the criminal investigation, all this is going to happen.
	Nothing's going to happen.
	I'm going to tell you, here's my prediction.
	Zip.
	Meanwhile...
	Nothing's going to come of any of this.
	Yeah, I'm afraid you're right.
	You know, this is why we jokingly call it the thousands of sealed indictments because we've been hearing about this for years and just waiting for it to happen.
	Comey, though, is getting kind of bold.
	He's out to...
	I guess it was Politicon, one of these conferences where I think people go and sell their books there mainly.
	Yeah, that's what you do.
	You write a book and then you go...
	Can I get your autograph, Mr.
	Comey?
	Yes, it's going to cost five bucks.
	You're going to have to stare at people.
	I saw Mitt Romney say this the other day.
	You are all going to be asked, where were you and what did you do?
	Now, I suspect what's going to happen is what's going to happen after the Joe McCarthy fever broke in 1954.
	McCarthy disappeared overnight and all of a sudden, no one had anything to do with it.
	I was never involved.
	What?
	Trump who?
	I expect what we're going to experience because this is going to go away very, very quickly.
	We can't allow that to happen.
	People have to be held accountable because you're responsible for what you say and for what you do not say.
	And if you're in a position to speak, you owe it to this country to speak is how I think about it.
	And I wrote it all in my book.
	Yeah, he's so brave.
	James Comey.
	Well, not really that brave, because, you know, what if Trump gets re-elected?
	What if he wins again?
	Will you still believe that?
	I will be...
	From my new home in New Zealand, I will...
	But I still will believe in America.
	What?
	This is...
	Fuck you.
	I'm sorry, Comey.
	I didn't mean to drop that F-bomb.
	But here's the guy saying, oh, if you're an American, then you'll speak out.
	But if Trump wins, I'm going to go to New Zealand.
	Come on.
	And then...
	So funny.
	Makes you not want to get into the book business when you hear these jamokes.
	A bunch of phonies.
	They're phonies.
	Phonies.
	They're all phonies.
	Most people are phonies, I find.
	Do you have a clip?
	I have nothing but clips about that.
	Now, I do have something else.
	I think I'm figuring out what's going on with these fires.
	Maybe not necessarily what starts them.
	No grand conspiracy.
	This is just something that was staring us in the face.
	I just hadn't caught it yet.
	One of our producers sent me a clip of something I started looking at.
	I'm like, wait a minute.
	I've got to dive into this.
	First, let's start with, is there any update on what's happening with these fires and subsequent shutdowns?
	A, are any of the fires blamed on Pacific Gas and Electric for their wires sparking stuff, or were they safe with these public safety power shutdowns, the PSPS? What's the boots on the ground reporting?
	Well, the big giant fire that apparently started from a transmission line that shorted out, and it turns out that PG&E can shut down all the power for all the little people, the people, the hungry masses, but the transmission lines were still active, and now they're starting stuff on fire, and it appears that the stock at $5.
	If this transmission line accusation on this last big whopper fire that's going on right now came from a transmission line that just shorted out the big – you know what we're talking about, the big giant tall tower lines, then most of the stock analysts say that this PG&E stock will be worthless then most of the stock analysts say that this PG&E stock will be worthless and
	So for sure some of this has to – we can't ignore the position of the utility company and what's happening with them and what writing is on the wall for all utility companies as climate change is responsible for this.
	You cannot deny that.
	Here's the deal.
	Here's the deal.
	All right, look.
	Here's the deal.
	Look.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Hey, look.
	Look, here's the deal.
	So, hey, look.
	Here's the deal.
	The fact of the matter is?
	The fact of the matter is this has never been a problem before.
	We've had high winds all the time.
	If you look at the real stats, the number of wildfires has lessened since the 1900s.
	And...
	PG&E is just incompetent.
	Their equipment's old, it's shorting out every which way, and the trees aren't trimmed back.
	They don't do any more controlled burns in California like they used to when I was a kid.
	I haven't heard about a controlled burn for the last decade.
	And controlled burns are needed in a place like California, which is a tinderbox.
	So this is just a mismanagement.
	And then there's some screwball stuff about a few of these fires, like this winery that just burnt down.
	There were guys out there, oh, the winery, the Stonehill.
	Ah, insurance scam.
	Well, I don't know whether it's an insurance scam or not, but I'll tell you this much.
	It's supposedly started by embers.
	Oh, yeah, an ember.
	There's no fire around this winery except the winery's burnt to the ground.
	Oh, ember, an ember blue, two miles.
	Apparently the ember blue, which is possible.
	But they show this winery and they clearly show...
	Look, and there's a winery that's burnt to the ground except for the stone front.
	And there's all the collapsed corrugated steel.
	The roof was corrugated steel.
	So how does an ember...
	Land on a roof that's made out of corrugated steel and torch the place.
	Oh, please.
	Hello?
	Hello, you know it's directed energy weapons.
	That's an easy one.
	Well, you know, to be honest about it, I think this is a screwball thought of yours.
	But to look at this fire at this winery that had the steel roof that's burnt to the ground, it looks like some sort of an energy beam just blew it up.
	Okay, let's mark the time code so when we argue about that in the future...
	I said it looked like.
	Yes.
	Well, I'm surprised that you're not looking at the climate change aspect of all this, John.
	First of all, can we agree that based on the news...
	Don't you agree?
	Wouldn't you agree with me?
	Wouldn't you join with me in saying that the mainstream news clearly pegs this issue mainly on climate change?
	No.
	No, please.
	I think the mainstream may be the national media, but locally they're not.
	No, not nationally.
	Nationally, I mean, the wildfires in California have been pegged on climate change for the past 10 years.
	Well, the past few years for sure.
	Okay, few years for sure.
	What is the problem with climate change?
	We're not getting any traction.
	Yeah, it's good to weaponize the children with Greta.
	That's a nice touch.
	So let's burn down California.
	Well, we need to get some economics going.
	How long have we been waiting for this climate change bullcrap to pay off?
	Al Gore's not getting any younger.
	The Kleiner Perkins clean tech investors not getting any younger.
	That investment has sat there for 15 to 20 years.
	Yeah, it's never paid out.
	Ah!
	And this is where I stumbled upon something new that is all over this wildfire news.
	And it turns out the true scam they're going with now in the climate change gambit centers around California and, interestingly, Austin, Texas.
	And the scam is called...
	Get your mind away from the fires.
	That's just a reason to show people that we need something else.
	If someone said, hey, you know, we could really solve this problem with these fires and everything if we did something else, that sounds completely logical.
	Why haven't we done this before?
	And it's called...
	The Microgrid.
	Hi, I'm Craig Lewis, founder and executive director of The Clean Coalition.
	Look it up, The Clean Coalition.
	I'm Kenny Klittich, program director for The Clean Coalition, a nonprofit dedicated to accelerating the transition to renewable energy in a modern grid.
	We'd like to tell you about the Community Microgrid Initiative, our revolutionary approach to changing the way that the electric grid is designed and operated, encompassing significant levels of clean local energy.
	Traditionally, the electric power grid has been based around large central power plants, sending electricity through long-distance transmission lines to get the energy where it is actually needed, where people live and work.
	We now have an opportunity to redefine how the grid works, to accept large amounts of renewable energy, to avoid significant investments in transmission infrastructure, and to make communities more resilient.
	Community microgrids envision leveraging resources like solar, wind, energy storage, and electric vehicles within community areas to provide at least 25% of a community's total energy needs from local renewables.
	They can also provide backup power for an entire community during short outages and indefinite backup power for critical facilities like fire stations, hospitals, and water treatment plants.
	Our solution is to build a handful of full-scale community microgrids across the country to show how they unleash the power of affordable and clean local energy while providing local economic benefits and unparalleled community resilience, paving the way for the rest of the nation.
	Woo!
	All right, microgrid.
	It sounds so smart.
	Decentralize the electricity and then put it into the power of these little things known as community aggregators, which is another thing you have to look up.
	And then we'll just have all these great clean...
	In fact, the way we'll do it is just like this huge pilot project we're doing in Austin, Texas at the Miller housing section.
	Where we'll have solar panels on the roofs and we'll have a huge battery we're going to put down for this community.
	Only a couple hundred homes.
	We might have to have some, you know, maybe some backup gas or maybe a little bit of windmill stuff.
	But this is going to be great.
	A smart grid is an intelligent, internet-like network that aims to help consumers understand and manage how and when they use electricity.
	Smoothing out the spikes in demand, securing the supply, and saving them money.
	Todd and Hannah Calvert's house may look like any other, but like all houses in their Austin neighbourhood of Miller, it's communicating with their power utility about its energy consumption and its solar power production every 15 seconds.
	The pioneers of the Pecan Street project believe that it could reinvent how we use electricity across America and the world.
	Instead of information flowing to the utility and energy flowing from the utility to you, the energy might flow both ways and the information might flow both ways.
	So it makes it a smarter system overall.
	We can make better decisions and kind of take control of our energy consumption.
	An example is my coffee maker.
	I've spent tons and tons of time finding the perfect coffee maker, and it keeps the water at a specific temperature, so when you put it in, it's at exactly 202 degrees, and blah, blah, blah.
	And I've come to find out, you know, through the monitoring and whatnot, that keeping that water at that temperature...
	The monitor...
	I hope your mind is open to what's going on here.
	It's using a significant amount of energy, much more than is worth the really good coffee that it makes.
	Most people don't understand that electricity actually costs more to generate at different times of the day than others.
	This information will be very valuable to people if they want to shift their usage to a different time.
	So this project...
	Hold on a second.
	Stop.
	He said that electricity costs more to generate...
	At different times than others.
	That's what he said, yes.
	How does that make any sense at all?
	It doesn't because it's irrelevant.
	Because you've got guys on overtime maybe at night?
	It's irrelevant to the overall story.
	It's not irrelevant to the fact that he's full of crap.
	No, that's the whole point.
	This is all full of crap.
	I'm reading here from Scientific American about this very project in the PECAN district, as we say here in Austin.
	They will use a variety of relatively new features appearing in urban grids, including large storage batteries, a rising number of rooftop solar installations, and new computer-controlled programs and switches.
	They will also ask for help from home owners.
	Some utilities are already promoting devices such as two-way controls on air conditioners, thermostats, even electric water heaters to reduce consumer power demand on super warm days when you actually want your air conditioner.
	This is about total control.
	Finally, they figured out a way to take something that is not innovative at all, just say, okay, we're just going to put some local power nearby, we'll throw a couple batteries in it, because if we disconnect you, I'm sorry, it's a blackout we couldn't control, but maybe we just have to disconnect you for whatever reason.
	It's not like this hasn't happened with Enron in California.
	Assholes get into the system and shut it down for all kinds of reasons.
	We are not going to give you your full power with your microgrid.
	Oh, no!
	We're going to control your fridge, your air conditioner, your washing machine, everything, Internet of Things.
	The Nest thermostat already does this.
	Complete control over you and your home.
	And all the power utilities are getting into it.
	Are you seeing some utilities move faster than others to adopt microgrid?
	Oh, I would say within the last three or so, if you used to go to a microgrid conference, There would never be a utility panel, and so now there often is, and there are early adopters.
	I think in California, some of the California utilities are actually partnering with CCAs, Community Choice Aggregators, to start.
	There's one up in Humboldt County for an airport.
	There's one in Southern California.
	So a CCA, a community choice aggregator, is where a neighborhood gets together and says, well, we're going to buy our own energy, which already was set up, apparently, and fits beautifully into this microgrid concept.
	And so they're going to be in control.
	They're not a private entity.
	They're either partially owned or wholly owned by the state or by the city.
	I believe in Lancaster, and there's a few other projects.
	But there are utility...
	ComEd in the Chicago area has got a microgrid they're deploying.
	In Texas, Encore has deployed a microgrid.
	In Vermont, Green Mountain Power.
	So you are seeing...
	So what you're seeing is a transformation of the energy companies, the utilities going from a single grid...
	To this new expansion, which they're going to own all of it.
	Make no mistake.
	They'll own it.
	They'll control it.
	So we get down to the local level where we can screw you even more and force you to have your smart meters on everything because we're going to have to control what you do and when you do it and how much you do it.
	And when you know that guys like Bloom Energy are in on it, you know the scam is real.
	So, you know, with the PG&E and the California fires, PG&E is going to be filing for bankruptcy.
	There is a loss of confidence in the whole grid.
	What do you think the fallout from that is going to be, and how will it affect clean energy?
	So, more and more companies are going to rely on microgrids.
	The way for you to think about a microgrid is, should there be something wrong with the macrogrid, which is the utility, you can isolate yourself.
	And have this building have the electricity and all its needs taken care of using a microgrid.
	And those will be bloom-like systems along with other energy sources integrated, storage, solar, whatever you have, into a microgrid.
	In the last three years, we have had more than 50 installations of microgrids for our corporate and industrial customers.
	So those guys are in, so you know the scam is on.
	And it would be easy to say this is not such a bad idea.
	If we could add nuclear, yeah, right, dream on.
	But it's going to be used as the...
	A fix for climate change, and I will do that in a series of very short clips taken from the Microgrid Knowledge Conference 2019, and this is all that they were talking about.
	I find micro-grids to be particularly interesting because they are meeting a number of challenges that we have right now.
	The reliability of our grid, our ability to integrate more renewable resources, and our ability to, in general, just combat climate change by helping to transition our overall grid from where we are today to where we need to be.
	We need to transition our grid to where we need to be.
	It's a great conference, but more importantly...
	Microfers themselves have a major role to play in fighting climate change and creating community resilience and economic resilience for folks all over the globe.
	Ah yes, resilience, the big word of the conference.
	We need resilience.
	The conference is really an opportunity for people to push the agenda forward.
	And help communities prosper difficult years ahead.
	That's right, difficult years ahead, but really, let's push the agenda!
	This conference is really an opportunity for people to push the agenda forward.
	Oops, I did that one twice.
	Here we go.
	Microgreens are a key solution to climate change adaptation.
	They are already a proven way to solve building resilient energy infrastructure.
	Yes, it's all about the transition, climate change adaptation.
	It's the way to go.
	It's the wave of the future.
	And the microgrid is really the center of everything that's happening in our energy transition, and it might be a problem.
	Now, I could go on and on.
	Well, I think the money is still with the utilities.
	I, of course, thought about this.
	Like, well, who's doing it?
	And it's nothing special.
	It's just that the utilities are going to have control in a much more economic fashion for them.
	So they can say, well, we've just got to go to the grid.
	And if something, for whatever reason, just turn it off.
	Well, they'll be good for 45 minutes with that big battery put there.
	But turn everything off, slaves.
	It's control.
	Well, that's what a lot of people believe, and I'm one of them, that the whole climate change argument's all about.
	Well, yes.
	Didn't you hear the guy say, push the agenda?
	It's all Agenda 21.
	Control how you live, control when your car can be charged, because that's another part of it, getting that electric car.
	But, yeah, well, we decided to turn your Tesla charging off in order for you to have air conditioning.
	Hope you don't mind that.
	Good morning.
	This is sophisticated.
	It's sophisticated.
	It is.
	It's sophisticated.
	I agree.
	It's very sophisticated because it's just using all the tricks that have been learned over the years and using Silicon Valley speak.
	Yeah.
	And the memes that have been incorporated into the schools, what they've taught the kids to respond to.
	Yeah, it's extremely sophisticated.
	It makes you wonder how anybody could actually coordinate this, which I think they can't.
	Well, I think there was one...
	That's a good point about coordinating.
	We'll get to that.
	This is the very last clip I have of.
	This is also from that Microgrid Knowledge Conference.
	And they had two consultants.
	And I think you could hear them a little bit better, too.
	It's just the last clip, and I think we can take it from there.
	This is Lisa Cohn with Microgrid Knowledge.
	I'm here at Microgrid 2019 with Tristan Jackson and Andrea Rutallo of Advisian.
	Andrea, tell me what gets you excited about microgrids.
	Why are you laughing?
	This woman, she's so bubbly.
	Oh, look who I'm with!
	I left it in there because that's the whole point.
	This is a conference where people are getting ready.
	They're getting issued their orders on what to do.
	These are big consulting companies.
	These are like 50,000 person IT companies helping utilities integrate and shepherd them into the microgrid age.
	What gets me excited is that we are bringing the energy systems, energy consumption back to the local level.
	So we are able to...
	Now this is important because this is where the kids come into play.
	This is where I think it's all going to come together is what this woman is saying.
	So...
	We are able to help communities and people that are not talking about this connect their consumption to actually the generation at the local level.
	With centralized power systems, I think people have disconnected how their daily decisions can impact the world.
	It's incredible that we are able to reduce emissions, increase efficiency, but also get people more aware of their impact in the world.
	This goes back to the guy with his coffee.
	So he has been taught now, shamed actually, you know, you keeping your coffee water at a perfect 202 degrees ready for your perfect cup of coffee is hurting the world, man!
	You have no idea what your consumption is doing.
	And this is the message that is being sent to us is, oh, you don't know the consequences of how you just waste energy.
	So when we bring that microgrid closer and we say you can't use your air conditioning, you'll know what a bad person you were for even ever thinking of doing that.
	That's what this is.
	Think of the consequences.
	When it's centralized and it's a big power grid, we don't think about our actions, what consequences they have for the poor, starving children of Africa.
	Absolutely.
	Tristan, what about you?
	What gets you excited?
	I fully agree with Andrea's point about connecting the understanding of end use to where things come from and raising that awareness is a very neat aspect of the distributed energy system.
	So neat!
	To me, the thing that I find most exciting is the ability to adapt to new conditions and to improve power quality, resilience, reliability, and safety with systems that also can be more efficient and reduce emissions and also bring down costs.
	So there's many good outcomes from a single sort of basket of technologies.
	Basket of technologies.
	Well, I'm glad at least they dropped the word which I would expect them to use, and you'll never hear it.
	Robust.
	Right, now they're using resilience.
	Yeah.
	Well, this brings to mind something.
	It's possible that when we discuss the Enron scam, that that was an early attempt at what we're seeing now.
	Sure.
	The idea that, oh, we have to have rolling blackouts because the state is using too much power.
	We don't have enough power.
	We have to have rolling blackouts.
	And for the next 10 years, which, by the way, they told us that locally now, the next 10 years we're going to have blackouts because of these wins.
	We've never had them before, but now we're going to have them for the next 10 years.
	But it was for the next foreseeable, for the unforeseeable future, just during the Enron era, we have to have blackouts and brownouts because the state cannot sustain the power requirements, which is obvious bullcrap because once these guys got run out of the state, the state was doing just fine again.
	And then they said, oh, God, what are we going to do now?
	It's possible that Enron was part of this whole scheme to begin with.
	And since they blew it up, they screwed it up because they were making too much money on the side or who knows what.
	It's too early.
	Which, by the way, why are these microgrid guys all nonprofits?
	Well, I'll tell you why.
	um Here's the Clean Coalition, which is based in California.
	This is the first clip I played when they explained what is a microgrid.
	They are an industry group, non-profit.
	I'll read the quote.
	The Clean Coalition has an impressive ability to identify the most effective clean energy policies and advocate for their widespread adoption.
	America's economic future and its national security depend on transitioning to clean, resilient, distributed energy.
	And I am honored to be an advisor to the Clean Coalition.
	James Woolsey, former director of the CIA. This is the kind of people who are involved in this.
	On the board, of course, so he doesn't have to do much.
	Wasn't Woolsey also the one that was with Elizabeth Holmes at Theranos?
	Yeah, I think he was.
	I think you're right.
	See if you know any of these names.
	Josh Becker from Lex Machina.
	I'm sure we can look them all up.
	They're all in the Council on Foreign Relations and we can figure out what they're all about.
	All of these guys.
	It's all the same stuff.
	But it's interesting now that you mentioned it because the thing that brought down Enron was the greed because they were making money hand over fist gouging people and doing this bull crap in California with the rolling blackouts.
	And that got the attention of the world and they got rousted and fined and jailed in some instances, I believe.
	But now you have to – that was a mistake.
	It was a blunder.
	Well, it's all kind of coming together now.
	Maybe if you look at the Enron as, okay, we know we can get people – of course, they were dumb.
	They got recorded and, you know, it's like people heard what they were really doing and they didn't share the money.
	That's probably a bigger problem.
	They were making out like bandits and people looking in going, hey man, where's my piece of the pie?
	Right, which is typically a company that doesn't have the...
	Silicon Valley is the place that spreads the wealth around as much as possible.
	Mm-hmm.
	To keep everybody happy.
	But for years we were talking about smart meters, and smart meters, you don't want this, you don't want the government knowing what you're consuming, in particular because the smart meters are two-way, and that they could shut them off.
	Or they could limit you.
	So that's where it started.
	Now for years we've been hearing, oh we need to, smart grid, smart grid, smart grid.
	We need a smart grid.
	Rebuild the infrastructure for a smart grid.
	Our mission, says the Clean Coalition, is not, the Clean Coalition is a non-profit organization whose mission is to accelerate the transition to renewable, resilient energy and a modern grid through technical policy and project development expertise.
	It's happening.
	It's on.
	They're finally bringing it together.
	And it's being done under the guise of microgrid.
	Because really, what is bullshit?
	They'll just put another transformer station near you, and then they'll charge you extra to pump in so-called green energy.
	It's going to cost more, and you will be able to use less because, oh, you have no idea what the impact is of your usage.
	Especially to keep that coffee pot warm.
	And I was amazed at how much information has just spiked onto the scene in the past year about microgrids.
	And just go look at...
	You don't even have to put the word microgrid in the search.
	Just look for PG&E. It pops up everywhere.
	Microgrid.
	Got to go to microgrid.
	Yes, microgrid is the way to go.
	Good catch.
	It's fascinating, because on one hand, it sounds so logical.
	It does.
	But when you...
	I mean, I gotta go take a look at this awesome project.
	Hopefully I can find someone here who can get me a tour without exposing me as the skeptical shill that I am, to go take a look, because...
	Should be no problem.
	These guys are always overconfident.
	They're all jitty about it, yeah.
	You'll have no trouble getting a tour.
	I'm very interested in this.
	This sounds great.
	Now, of course, if we have the smart grid topology and we have these little micro grids, it would be great to drop in a backyard nuke and then we wouldn't have to have all of the limitations because it would just run forever and it would just be great.
	This is population control.
	Thank you.
	It's Agenda 21.
	It's all...
	They say it.
	We've got to move the agenda.
	You've got an area rioting.
	Kill their power one at a time.
	Boom.
	Done.
	Easy.
	Yep.
	But leave it off.
	You got one computer console someplace, and you have to switch off, off, off, off, off, off, off.
	And what's interesting, although I didn't make a compilage or something.
	And if everyone's on electric cars, they can't even drive out of the area.
	But they're going to determine whether your car could be charged or not.
	You see, it's going to be much more...
	It's going to be horrible.
	Who's going to decide when your air can be on?
	Right now, I got rid of Nest because Google was determining what the temperature was in my house based upon what they thought.
	You remember I was getting all those messages all of a sudden on the Nest?
	Oh, yeah.
	We'd like to turn it off for an hour because we're doing Save the World Hour and no one uses it.
	Don't you remember that when I was back downtown?
	Yes.
	Yeah, it was a message.
	Save the world hour today between whatever time, whatever.
	We'll turn it all off and collectively we'll save so much human life, whatever.
	More poor people in Africa will live because of this.
	Or you can opt out.
	Yeah, and that is a willful...
	Yes, it's a little early for an OTG segment, but I'll just tell you, yes, people who opted out of making their video available to the police from their Ring doorbell, subsequently, Ring gave the police stats about users who opted out.
	How disgusting is this?
	This is great.
	We're watching the police state unfold.
	Yes, in real time.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	I mean, and all this stuff will start to talk together.
	Donate more to the No Agenda show.
	We'll all go down together.
	I have a feeling that the microgrid in Austin may not be providing enough power to Opportunity Zone 33 on Thursdays and Sundays.
	Oh, we're sorry.
	You've got that podcast.
	No, no, no, no.
	We've got to lower your power.
	We've got to downgrade you.
	You're going to be browned out for a bit here.
	You're only going to allow your fridge and your air conditioner.
	No, you know what?
	Go outside.
	No air conditioner for you.
	Yeah, wow.
	So everybody, I want you to be on the lookout for microgrid resilience and transitioning.
	Yeah, you'll see it.
	You're starting to see it now.
	Yeah, and I'm sure Atomic Rod Adams will chime in because it would be perfect if at least they can put these stupid grids in place and then we can add our backyard nukes.
	I have some hope, but no, not really.
	It's the two-way control.
	That's the thing that is...
	It's the educational aspect so people can understand how much you use.
	You don't know the consequences of your coffee.
	Don't understand what it's doing.
	You're so rude.
	Just leaving your coffee at 202 degrees of water so that you can have the perfect cup of coffee.
	But in Africa, they have nothing!
	That's it, man.
	That's it.
	I'm totally digging what's going on here.
	Now, I would also, as you started off, I would love for people to think about, where's the money?
	Let's get an exit.
	Let's invest in the right thing.
	Let's get out of this gig.
	Yeah.
	Maybe there was a code in here.
	New Zealand?
	Well, that was Comey.
	You know, these things are bigger than us.
	New Zealand has been the place for the elites to escape to for years.
	They've been buying up all the property there.
	Yeah.
	Good luck.
	Mm-hmm.
	They'll just nationalize all that property.
	New Zealand's a socialist state.
	I hope people realize that when they think of going there.
	I know one guy who moved there years ago, a very famous guy, and he got sick of it.
	Well, with that, I would like to thank you for your courage for the past 12 years and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in clean coalition twice, John C. Dvorak!
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls.
	Many of them have been here for 12.
	Well, not quite.
	I don't think the troll, well, the troll room was the chat room before.
	We had it pretty early, but I don't think 12 years.
	In the morning to you trolls there at noagendastream.com.
	I see you.
	I see you all hanging out and feeling good.
	Oh, nice-sized amygdalas.
	Very, very good.
	That's noagendastream.com where you can listen to our show, but many, many other shows.
	You know, somehow someone started doing these station IDs and then now they're all over the stream.
	At your behest, I might add.
	I didn't want it to turn into a nightmare.
	You are colluding with the No Agenda show.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	It's the international version of the station.
	Nice, I like that one.
	And my favorite was from Brent, who said, I hired a guy to do a station ID for you.
	He sounds just like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
	Listen to the No Agenda show if you want to live.
	You're listening to the No Agenda Show, you idiot.
	I don't know if he sounds exactly like Schwartz.
	He sounds like a guy with adenoids.
	I think you should get your money back.
	It doesn't work unless you read the note.
	Is that Arnold Schwarzenegger?
	No.
	But it's appreciated.
	And that's the lengths that people go to to support this show and make it that much better, clearly.
	But we also, we'd like to thank our executive producers, associate executive producers, and really all producers who have supported us for the past 12 years.
	I mean, there's people who have supported us with $5 a month for all this time.
	In fact, I have one.
	We're going to be a little long today because we have a lot of long notes.
	This was from Brian.
	Adam, I want you to know the reason I started giving $5 a month was because years ago on the show you said that if everybody who listened gave $5 a month, that would be enough for the show to go on indefinitely.
	Everybody.
	Of course, we only have about 1.5% who listen, who donate.
	The value I've gotten from the show is immeasurable.
	But really, $5 a month, that's something that even I, a meager man currently living the new American dream of just getting by, can do.
	Thanks so much for the view of the world, changing information, hilarious entertainment the two of you have given me consistently all these years.
	The show is one of my favorite things in the world.
	Happy 12th anniversary.
	See, that's what I'm talking about.
	You know, it's funny, brought up the old meme just getting by, which we extracted from an Obama discussion of the American dream, which apparently was back in the day.
	I have it here.
	In the end, the folks I hear from in letters or meet when I travel across the country, they aren't asking for much.
	They're just looking for a job that covers their bills.
	They're looking for a little financial security.
	They want to know that if they work hard and live within their means, everything will be alright.
	they'll be able to get ahead and give their kids a better life that's the dream each of us has for ourselves and our families no and so long as i have the privilege of serving as president i'll keep fighting to put that dream within the reach of all americans the dream of just getting The American dream is...
	This eking out a living.
	What kind of a guy?
	This was terrible.
	That's the difference between him and Trump, the motivational speaker president.
	Thank you.
	Exactly.
	This was so lame.
	As an American.
	It's depressing to hear that.
	Our dream is not just get by and be able to put food on the table and send my kids to some overpriced nanny spot.
	No!
	No!
	The American dream is to be the guy in the Rolls Royce.
	One day I'll be that guy.
	Or whatever it is.
	One day I'll be the president.
	Or one day I'll be the teacher.
	Or the fireman.
	That clip, that particular clip, which is brought up by our $5 guy, is disgusting.
	It's disgusting in every way.
	Alright, let's thank a few people who helped us out on this show, at least on the executive and associate executive producer level.
	This show being number what?
	1185.
	1185 episodes.
	Sir Pants is at the top of the list.
	I'm surprised we didn't get more big donors, but we didn't.
	Sir Pants, though.
	Maybe they were in a depression.
	I don't know.
	Well, Sir Pants came in from Wabatosa, Wisconsin, with $1,000.
	What have I got on the screen here?
	Oh, never mind.
	$1,026.07.
	What is up with the number?
	What's the number?
	Because he doesn't really explain it at all.
	He says, he's got a short note, which we like.
	Keep rocking.
	Keep hitting him in the mouth.
	Let's give some karma to all those who are in need.
	From Sir Pants.
	You've got karma.
	Next on the list is Mark Jasper in Alhambra, California.
	$500.
	Off to hospital tomorrow.
	Off to the hospital tomorrow, to be correct.
	He has to go to university first.
	He's going to go to university, then hospital, then house.
	Sir Omega Project reaches knighthood with this and $500 on $923.19.
	Okay, well, you're on the list, apparently.
	Yeah, for sure.
	Baron Walkman of Buckeye, $432.10.
	Barron Walkman, Jill Abramson, stop the hammering.
	Oh, here's what he wants for his requests.
	Jill Abramson, mumbling, vocal frying.
	Stop the hammering, two to the head.
	Dear John and Adam, many around the globe today want to say congrats on 12 years of podcast and such.
	Your insight of M5M deconstruction is second to none, according to the Mueller report.
	Just know, as I cozy up with the wife tonight, listening to John's romantic fisting nuts tune, I'll be thinking of those 12 years.
	Damn, things are look up.
	That's what he says.
	He says, damn, things are look up.
	Okay.
	Oh, and McLeod is still a douchebag.
	Oh, here we go.
	Douchebag!
	Please play Darren O. JCD chair gently squeaks.
	End of show.
	Baron Walkman of Buckeyes.
	Yes, I'll do that.
	And here's the other requested jingles.
	To rake over.
	Stop the hammering!
	You've got karma.
	So Brian Barrow, 38376.
	And he's in the UK. Congratulations to you and your wonderful support team for 12 years of the best podcast in the universe.
	You are our support team.
	With the long overdue donation, I finally achieved the rank of Earl.
	See accounting attached.
	I'd like my upgraded title to be the Earl of Mead.
	I'd take chili and wheat beer at the round table.
	My full title, Black Knight Sir Brian Barrow, Protector of Royal Wooten Bassett.
	And the Baron of Barbados and Viscount of video games and the Earl of Mead is too much of a mouthful for the show.
	But I'll keep this for formal occasions.
	Put it on your letterhead.
	Here's to another 12 years of the show, which will give me time to move to Duke and beyond.
	And to meet more of the No Agenda community in the meantime.
	I'll claim my protectorate and get it added to the peerage map.
	Thank you, Sir Brian Barrow, and I'll see you with that long-ass title later.
	Sir Aaron Christensen, Sir Circumlocution, actually, at 36896 in Frankfurt on Main in Deutschland.
	Aaron Christensen, the Euro Knight, checking in.
	I wish you a happy 12th.
	The interweb said this was supposed to amount to 333 euros, but PayPal is charging me more.
	Go figure.
	Anyway, you're worth it, and I don't just say that to all the girls.
	When I became a knight in my last donation, I was so delirious with joy that I forgot to request my special title, Circumlocution.
	Yes.
	We got it.
	And then he explains it.
	We kind of get the gag.
	Nice word and seems germane to the subject of the show.
	No, I don't know about that.
	Show me your sexuality and then give me the whole load.
	Tell me about the sexuality.
	It's in your DNA. I'm going to give you the whole load today.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That whole load clip is getting more and more popular and it's finding more and more uses.
	It's very useful.
	It's a useful clip.
	We have some sick people listening.
	Just saying.
	Hey, Joe Biden said it.
	Right.
	Sir Dave.
	And Dame Melody and Lady Isabella coming together at $360.33.
	Happy 12th from all of us Fugazotos.
	All of the best.
	I want to give them a little karma from me and the keeper.
	You've got karma.
	Or is it the keeper and I? Goat karma.
	Oh, they want goat karma?
	Yeah, it says right there.
	Oh, I didn't see that.
	I'm sorry.
	Add the goat.
	You've got...
	Thank you!
	Sir Nubbin, in Indianapolis, 33829.
	He wants some goat karma too, and Reverend L. Respict, I'm donating for your 12th anniversary, and in memory of...
	Late departed maternal grandmother of his.
	I, with this donation, should become a baron and would request the title change to Sir Nubbin, Baron of the Valley.
	Okay.
	Alrighty.
	I think that's on the list.
	Yep, it is.
	And so, respect and go karma.
	She's getting lunch at Chipotle.
	You can sing along, John.
	The Tortise in the race.
	Kim Kardashian, Siganoi Weaver.
	Rush R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	They're all Jiddy. R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
	There's no real conflict.
	Resist.
	We must.
	Resist.
	Just a little bit.
	We must. Just a little bit.
	We must. Just a little bit.
	And we will much about that.
	We committed.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Brian Baronet of Northern Connecticut in West Hartford, 333.33.
	Happy 12th to the best podcast in the universe.
	I'm late in listening to Thursday's episode but was gassed by the shutout shade thrown at the No Agenda Forums.
	And the Gitmo Nation Roundtable podcast.
	Did we throw shade?
	Seriously?
	He was gassed by it.
	You're right, and you're wrong about our attitudes.
	Wait, wait.
	You are right, and you are wrong?
	What?
	One of our boys, Sir Barron of Northern Connecticut, was involved in this loopy operation over there.
	I'll get grief for that.
	The group of devotees and lovers haters had all sorts of reasons for complaining and flaming on the forums.
	Of course.
	This is like years and years and years ago.
	I was still in Los Angeles, man.
	That's how long ago.
	This is nine years ago.
	Touchy.
	Of course, NoGen is such a tight-knit community and so much so in 2009.
	So much more so in 2009, really?
	I don't think so.
	That anyone's individual disagreements with John and Adam can sometimes feel personal.
	This, of course, is why I still sometimes feel the need to email in and complain when I feel you've missed the boat.
	On something.
	And then follow it up with a small donation in addition to my weekly subscription.
	So it's like, that's all an NAF and GNR people.
	I am sure many are still around and many are overboard.
	Jim L, Radio Ned, Wap, Caplets, Jan, Eugene M, Robin Police, Eric Carlson, Eric Ortega, Harley, Spurlock, and many others.
	No, is that...
	He wants us to douchebag them all?
	No, no.
	That's saying...
	Oh, I see.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't think this quite makes me a Baron, but I will check back and top off later.
	Invisible hat, please.
	Sir Brian Baronet of Northern Connecticut.
	That's interesting.
	He needs a hat.
	Send me a hat.
	On its way.
	Here it comes.
	Wait, here we go.
	Here we go.
	The hat being delivered via drone.
	It's interesting, though, that he feels a good thing to do is to email us, complain, and then donate.
	To kind of like whip the dog, then give him a bone.
	I love constructive criticism.
	I love, like for instance, we made a big mistake on the last show, which was really your fault because I was reading it right.
	It said Daily Caller, but you convinced me very quickly that that was Ben Shapiro's outfit where he's the Daily Wire.
	And so I got probably 10 emails, people just saying, oh yeah, you messed that up, confused it, which kind of blew the whole Jew card joke because then it didn't work anymore.
	It still worked.
	Well, it was still funny, even though factually incorrect, but that I appreciate.
	But, you know, there are people coming in, you...
	Yeah, that was my fault.
	It's okay, though.
	But the joke was still valid.
	The joke was funny.
	But anyway.
	Listen, you're producers, so yes, if you're a producer, you need to feed back.
	Just consider how you do it.
	We, too, are only human.
	And we do this all by ourselves from John's desk drawer.
	It's actually a drawer in a china cabinet.
	It's true.
	It's true.
	The show is run out of John's china cabinet.
	It's one drawer.
	Every once in a while I point and somebody comes over and I say, you know, the whole No Agenda show has run out of this drawer.
	It's that and a Radio Shack 101 project kit.
	That's what the show is running on here.
	We do have gear.
	Adam has more gear than I do.
	Yeah, we got gear.
	We got gear.
	Anybody wants to hear?
	They hear through the gear.
	Ah, your musical style is never tiring.
	LeBoutier, 333 bucks.
	He says, LeBoutier!
	LeBoutier!
	Best podcast in the universe indeed.
	Keep up the great work.
	Thanks, Ed.
	Thanks, Ed.
	I think it was a Sir Ed, if I'm not mistaken.
	Ron Convette in Lincoln, Nebraska.
	He becomes our first associate executive producer.
	$279.28.
	And I looked in the email.
	I couldn't find any notes from him.
	I looked.
	I didn't find anything.
	It came in as a check, I guess.
	Oh, no.
	Wait.
	Now, I'll blame Eric for this because I did say I think there's note attached.
	Oh, yes.
	It does look gray, which would be the color.
	It is gray, which means it's a check, but it should still say John has note.
	Correct.
	Forgive me, Podfathers, I've not donated in some time.
	Please de-douche me.
	You got it.
	You've been de-douched.
	For my 59th rotation around the sun, he's got a birthday call out.
	Okay.
	That I did not tell Eric.
	Okay, this is wrong.
	Get your pin out.
	It's alright, I have a pin.
	I usually come to the show with one.
	Do you use a pin or a pencil?
	Yes.
	For my 59th rotation around the sun, which takes place Tuesday, the 29th, I've decided I need to donate more boobs.
	I've determined that I can reach Knighthood with only 12 boob donations and some change.
	This donation represents three boobs and the change.
	Now that I'm only a couple of boob donations away from Knighthood, I shouldn't be too long before I can sit at the round table.
	Nice.
	Thanks for all the good work you do.
	Please call out Brad Jazuski as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	When was his birthday?
	His birthday is on Tuesday the 29th and he becomes 59.
	Okay.
	Gotcha.
	Seems like a very juvenile note for such a mature male.
	I'll just mention that in passing.
	But again...
	We expect nothing else from our group.
	Onward to Black Knight Scott, Baron of North Georgia, $250.
	And he has a short note.
	He says, yes, the wine is good here.
	Baron of North Georgia.
	Always good to know.
	You know what I'm looking for?
	I'm looking for, and actually, I know the Familia, whatever it is up in Arkansas, that one really good winery that's in the Ozarks.
	Post Familia, I think is the name of them.
	They have the only muscadine wine that I've ever had that I could actually choke down without gagging.
	Are you a guzzler?
	No, no.
	Muscadine wine is very peculiar.
	It's made from a grape that's about the size of a medium-sized tomato.
	Each grape is that big.
	Wow.
	It's actually the size of a large apricot, each grape.
	Hmm.
	And they don't grow in bunches.
	It's a funny grape.
	But it's a grape.
	And it's called a muscadine.
	And it's really good eating.
	If you have children, they love eating these things.
	They're delicious.
	But the wine that it makes is really rank.
	But And it's made everywhere in the South.
	You can grow these grapes in Louisiana.
	They make muscadine wine down there.
	It's supposed to be good with deer.
	It's nasty, but people make it any...
	Is it like plum wine or something?
	No, no.
	Plum wine is delicious by comparison.
	This is really bad.
	This is horrible stuff.
	It is.
	It is the worst.
	I think it's just some sort of a local challenge to see how much of it you can drink before you throw up.
	I'm It's never been fully explained to me why they even bother making wine from this stuff.
	But I have had some from this one post-familia winery up in Arkansas that makes a good one.
	By good, I mean you can actually drink it.
	Alright, enough said.
	I'm just mentioning this story enough.
	Hey, you know what?
	These are things that you learn only on the No Agenda show.
	And, mind you, that impresses the crap out of people when you lay that smack down on them.
	Yeah.
	But I'm sure that there's somebody, you know, since they grow it all over the South, I'm sure somebody, you know, they make a really good one here in Birmingham.
	I don't think so.
	Sir Horatio of Arabia in London, UK, 242.42 is next on our list.
	And he writes, congratulations from the desert, so he must be in Saudi Arabia, for 12 awesome years.
	Sanity retained twice a week.
	And then he says, double 12 years, not a slave.
	Oh, okay.
	That's what he's saying.
	Oh, nice.
	242.42.
	Beautiful.
	Yeah.
	Moving it forward for 12 more years.
	Thank you so much.
	We do like getting it in advance.
	Sir Rod in Amsterdam.
	222.22.
	Is this our Sir Rod?
	Who is this?
	This is, uh...
	Yes, it's Roderick, Sir Rod, Sir Roderick, yes.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's not Rod Adams, though.
	No, no, that's a...
	Roderick shortened his title to Rod, so he's Sir Rod, and he's from the TPO podcast.
	Oh, right.
	He's the mainstream guy.
	The great TPO podcast.
	Yes, exactly.
	In the morning, John and Adam, Tuesday, October 29th, is the birthday of my TPO podcast buddy, Bert Brusson.
	Brusson.
	And mine as well.
	Whoa!
	Bert becomes 44 and I'll be 55 the same day.
	This is our birthday present for our best podcast for the Please continue the great job.
	Okay.
	You're on the list as far as I can tell.
	Yeah, on the list.
	And thank you.
	And happy birthday to both of you guys.
	55.
	You'll like it.
	It's not bad.
	As a podcast.
	Unless you have to drive at that speed.
	Unless you wake up at 55 and you find your careers doing a podcast.
	Otherwise, you'll feel great.
	My whole life's been leading up to this podcast.
	Yeah.
	Sir Richard Garrett in Thunder Bay, Ontario, outskirts of Toronto.
	$212.12, a bedroom community.
	Hi, Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	Sorry my donation is about an hour late in Austin time, but hopefully it gets through early enough to be read on the 12th anniversary show.
	It's been a while since I've shown that donating is love.
	But I'm happy to report that your show inspired and helped me get through seven years of undergrad and law school.
	And I was finally called to the bar last September.
	I start...
	Wow!
	Hold on a second.
	So, we helped him get through seven years of undergrad in law school and all the way up to the bar.
	He's in the bar.
	He made it.
	He passed.
	He passed.
	So, he was called to the bar, which is what we call when you take somebody to...
	Right.
	That's when you got to pay is when you get called to the bar.
	I started listening to the show through the Blackberry podcast app in 2011.
	The company's gone.
	There's nothing left of Blackberry.
	We destroyed it with our podcast.
	When I randomly searched for politics and never looked back, On how the M5M has been projecting a narrative to control so many people who don't understand what's going on in the world.
	Please give me a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And now this is the part that's controversial.
	Yeah, I have a problem with this, but okay.
	And this is going to be semi-experimental because I think we're going to do this, right?
	And then we're going to have him give us some feedback.
	We need a report, yeah.
	He is going to ask for something that has been banned from the show based on some reports.
	Well, based on consumer reports and safety reports and results, pure results of the process.
	Yeah.
	This is the Trump jobs, jobs, jobs karma.
	Now, anyway, he says, thank you for everything you've done for the past 12 years, and now he's going to receive.
	This is, again, an experiment.
	It's not for everybody.
	No.
	But we're going to do it this one time, and then we're going to have to make up for it if it fails.
	If it works, I would be very interested.
	It might work.
	Oh, hold on.
	He's a Canadian.
	This may make a huge difference.
	Oh, Trump jobs in Canada does something different, maybe.
	Maybe.
	All right.
	Let her rip.
	It basically gets someone fired in the States and then you get the job over there.
	Let us know how it goes.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Alright.
	It's on you.
	Sir Richard, and thank you very much for supporting us.
	I will point out something.
	This was the pure Trump.
	The other one may have been a Trump-Pelosi combo.
	Jobs!
	Jobs!
	Maybe that one's better.
	You know what?
	I have the combo. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
	And jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	I think...
	He's going to become an MP. I think it's the Nancy going, let's vote for jobs!
	I think that's what really gets you the job.
	There's something about that plea that makes it happen.
	Anyway, thank you.
	John Hawley's next on the list.
	We'll find out from Richard later.
	We will.
	$212.12 in Blaine, Minnesota.
	Minnesota nuts.
	Dude named Ben.
	Here's a listener, been a listener since the run-ups to the 2016 elections.
	I think you guys are the best, in best form during these times.
	During election period, yeah.
	Maybe.
	I've been going back and listening to a lot of 2016 shows again, and kudos to all the producers creating the end of show mixes.
	I almost drove off the road last week when you played the one again of...
	John fisting is nuts.
	I have to tell you that we forget about this stuff, and I'm relying on producers, particularly execs and associate execs, because that's where you know that we'll read this and we'll get to it.
	We have so many funny things that...
	I mean, it just doesn't come to mind anymore.
	And when I played that again, oh my god.
	It was...
	And it kind of came right on...
	We were talking about it.
	We were laughing.
	And then last night...
	I know you saw it.
	Jennifer Buchanan...
	Made a video, an animated video, out of one of our bits about Gurgle and Sharpton.
	Did you see that thing?
	Yeah, it was great.
	She's got some new tools.
	It's beyond great.
	Now, I think she's talking about the tool that made the video.
	She may have a new boyfriend.
	I'm not sure what tool she's referring to.
	Well, or both.
	You never know.
	But, I mean, we watched it a couple times, and it kept being funny.
	She even got my little Tourette's in there.
	Yeah, my head was bobbing back and forth.
	With the head bouncing around.
	If you haven't seen it, go look at noagendasocial.com.
	Look at Adam there.
	You can find it.
	Anyway.
	It's an animation.
	Yeah, but it's another one of our bits that is just, you know, sometimes you can't write this.
	If you wanted to write a funny show, you would never come up with that.
	And yet there it was.
	He continues.
	By the way, you forgot a great promo donation, 21212.
	It's even a palindrome.
	I guess we did.
	I forgive you and sent it anyway.
	Which is what he sent it.
	Curiously, it just put me over the edge to knighthood.
	If it pleases you, knight me, Sir John of the Dunkirk mudflats.
	He says, I almost put mudflaps.
	He's doing material to himself.
	Reckoning Below.
	Request Kristoff's and Black.
	I'm sorry.
	Kristoff's and Black Lager at the round table.
	If there's room.
	What's Kristoff's?
	We put in the extra leaf on the table.
	So it's a little bigger for all the stuff for today.
	What's Kristoff's?
	Do you know?
	No, I have no idea.
	We'll see it at the round table.
	You're going to be there.
	Yeah, I will.
	They kept moving me over.
	I lost my good seat.
	No agenda, but no jingles, but karma for all.
	No exit strategies yet, please.
	ITM John.
	You've got karma.
	Oh, you have an anonymous donation from Austin?
	Well, probably your neighbor.
	Probably.
	Anonymous donation.
	This donation is for each of my two nephews.
	Who both, Nicholas and Jeremy, who both listen to the show and need a serious dedouching.
	So it's Nicholas Markovich and Jeremy Minchuk, both need a serious dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	This donation gets them started toward knighthood.
	For jingles, please play the firefighter hose.
	I know what that is.
	Yeah, but that's not a jingle.
	It's only 17 seconds.
	Throw in some Sharpton gurgle.
	Ah, finally.
	Yes.
	Somebody's bringing that in.
	And China is asshole.
	It's asshole.
	H-O-E. End with karma.
	All right.
	So you take your hose and you roll that sucker as far as you can get it.
	And then some guy, some dude behind you is blasting you with his hose.
	A couple of guys.
	Oh!
	It gets better.
	Yeah, so you're getting blasted, so you can stay cool.
	It's really hot.
	Gurgle and the third right.
	You've got karma.
	Sorry.
	Personal pleasure.
	Yeah, you get a kick out of that stuff.
	Jason McKinney, sir, no pointer.
	Sugar Land, Texas.
	Another Texan.
	200 bucks.
	I didn't realize that I share a birthday with no agenda, so I decided to celebrate both with a producer credit.
	The That's right.
	That's right.
	Poop and high rent are not what I'm looking towards, looking forward to, is what he meant.
	No.
	I would join both of you on NAMS, since I'm a ham, KD5, KMA, 73.
	73s, K5ACC. But I don't have my Baofeng HT currently, nor, they're cheap, nor do I have the knowledge to connect to the DS-STAR. Also, a reminder to all hams, renew your licenses when they come due.
	Keep the community strong.
	Can I just say, so we're not on D-Star, we're on All-Star, and if you have any kind of 2-meter or 70-centimeter rig, which could be a bowel thing, then you can use any repeater that's connected.
	Go to k5acc.com for more information.
	I'm the NAMS, the No Agenda Hams.
	Can I request a China is asshole?
	That's true.
	And a few seconds of ants, if time allows.
	Look forward to your lucky 13th.
	Sir, no pointer in Jason McKinney, Sugar Land, Texas.
	China is asshole!
	You're the president of your sitting there.
	Oops, what is that?
	That's not the right one.
	Hold on.
	We got your birthday on there.
	What?
	Oh, we got his birthday?
	What happened to the, uh...
	I gotta find this.
	Hold on.
	I got ants.
	I got ants.
	You've got karma.
	Kind of messed it up a little bit.
	There we go.
	And that concludes our list of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1185.
	I want to thank each and every one of them for helping put this show together.
	Yes, thank you very much for being here, for celebrating with us today.
	Many of you have been here from the first hour, from the beginning.
	Many of you have come up along the way.
	Some of you have gone overboard, come back, and all of the support is appreciated because it is your show.
	So you've kept this going.
	This experiment just won't stop.
	Twelve years running.
	I'm very proud.
	You should be proud as well.
	And I think it's a perfect opportunity for those of you who got the executive or associate executive producer credits today.
	To list them wherever you might have them listed.
	You can actually go to Visa Bristaprint and get some cards because you can now claim to be an executive producer or associate executive producer of the No Agenda 12th Anniversary Special.
	I think this is a little better in parlance of production.
	Would you agree?
	Yeah, I think so.
	I think if you say the 12th anniversary special...
	Yeah, then you can do...
	People that produce specials are special people.
	They're specialists.
	So thank you for that, and I look forward to thanking more people in our second donation segment.
	It will be 12 years and one show on Thursday, so please feel free to support us once again for this, the second Sunday of the show's experience.
	Dvorak.org slash That's right, 12 years and we never had a fight!
	But we still wear condoms.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water!
	Water!
	Shut up, slay!
	Shut up, slay!
	So what year...
	Oh, you know what we forgot to do, which I think is my fault since I'm driving?
	We forgot to thank our artists for the artwork.
	Oh.
	I'm a total nincompoop.
	What do you mean, we?
	Oh, you're going to get racial on me now?
	That's just a reference to a joke about, you know, cheese.
	Yes, exactly.
	It's a punchline.
	Yes.
	It's like, I tried to do that, and I said, what do you mean, Kimo Sabe?
	And I got excordiated for that.
	Ah, you know the reference.
	Yes, I know, but it's very bad.
	You can't say Kimo Sabe.
	What does it even mean?
	Was there really a word, Kimo Sabe?
	I mean, this sounds like something made up.
	No, do you remember Aaron Bursell at Podshow?
	Vaguely.
	Big guy.
	Big guy.
	Later went on with everyone else to Spoke or Smap or Spam or Spoof.
	What was that?
	Spelunk.
	Splunk.
	Plunk.
	Splunk.
	The database company.
	And he was either full or part American Indian.
	And one day, with something going on, I said, what are you talking about, Kimo Sabe?
	And he got really pissed at me and said, you're racist.
	What are you talking about?
	It's like a reference to it.
	No, no, no.
	Do you know I'm American Indian?
	Because apparently Kimo Sabe is somehow as bad.
	It's like, it's a bad word?
	So all along, it was...
	The more you learn, John.
	The Indian guy was calling the Lone Ranger a douchebag or something.
	Maybe he's Indian for douchebag.
	Yeah, the Lone Ranger is a racist show.
	Racist.
	Bunch of racists.
	Well, what are you going to do?
	By the way, you know that beginning, I was digging through some.
	I wanted to put together a couple of archive clips just to bring them out so you can remember these things.
	Yeah, but we've got to thank the artists first.
	Ah, yes.
	Now you can blame me.
	Don't worry, privately we do it all the time.
	So we want to thank the artists, and believe me, if we'd passed this one by, it would be hell to pay.
	The cover art for episode 1184 was hands down the best.
	It was brought to you by Comic Strip Blogger, and it was the EU logo bleeding, dripping out.
	And I don't know, for some reason, we looked at a lot of different things.
	That were up there.
	People did gurgle stuff and some other...
	But the symbolism of it in timing with Brexit, I think it was just cool.
	It just totally made it all fit together.
	I used Darren O'Neill's 12th anniversary, 12 years of excellence as the newsletter art, which then I retweeted, because I thought that was a nice piece.
	Yeah, and this is the point, that so much of this art is funny, it's humorous, you know, doing good memes with topical humor to make it really work.
	Some of it just is completely inappropriate to be displayed in public.
	Some of it is gross.
	Yeah, it's like, we don't really want that on the front of iTunes.
	In fact, we'll never be on the front of iTunes if we do that.
	But there was something else.
	You were going to make a mention of something, but you probably forgot I did about the art.
	No, I think there was one piece.
	I'll tell you which one it is.
	Yeah, it was another Darren O'Neill piece, the one I liked, which was the Gurgle piece, which showed...
	Who is a Nazi propaganda...
	Oh, right, right, right.
	I thought that was a good piece.
	Yeah.
	But yes, it was a good piece.
	It was funny.
	But somehow the...
	I don't know.
	You were in love with the bleeding logo.
	You're right.
	What can I say?
	I was in love with the bleeding logo and I pushed it.
	I pushed it to make it happen.
	And it was not for me.
	There's no reason not.
	I liked it too.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Sometimes we just...
	This is how a good relationship works.
	Well, it's like having two art directors.
	We're actually the art directors of the show.
	But it's a committee.
	It's not like one guy is always going to be picking the same kind of thing constantly.
	If we have a real art argument, then I always let you win because you know more.
	You have more creds.
	You don't always let me win.
	That's nonsense.
	Whenever we choose what you want, that's me letting you win.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah.
	We're always in super agreement, John.
	There's never any disagreement about anything.
	I also like, you know, the other one that was, the ones that were good, was the flag being raised, which I think was the show before.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, okay.
	Credit went out there, so was it CSB or Comic Strip Blogger?
	No, it was Comic Strip Blogger.
	Huh.
	Whatever happened to that other guy?
	CSB, I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Got deported.
	So I went back and looked at some old clips to figure out, let's get some...
	There's no clips from 12 years ago, but there's a lot from 10 years ago.
	And it's 10 years ago, by the way, where we got the punch him in the mouth clip.
	I had the...
	Which is interesting.
	The hit him in the mouth.
	Hit him in the mouth.
	But I got a couple of clips from 2009 about...
	Oh, nice.
	That I thought would be worth replaying.
	I thought one of them, we played it, it was kind of a mainstay for a while.
	This is the Clinton-Hillary clip that I always thought was, you will remember it when you play it.
	Hillary's concluding a trip to Africa now with the only female elected president on the continent in Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
	But a couple of days ago...
	She was in Goma in the Congo, the site of one of the most difficult refugee camps in the entire world.
	I don't know what you think, but I think American Secretaries of State ought to be in the places of human misery around the world.
	Like your home.
	Wow.
	2009.
	So what was the occasion of this?
	Was that...
	This is, I guess...
	Kind of setting Hillary up for...
	Well, this is 2009, so she was just the Secretary of State?
	I just thought it was a nasty comment, personally.
	Yeah.
	And then the other one I pulled out, which I thought was kind of interesting, is this Game Men clip, which is another 29 seconds.
	Let's take a look at our victim.
	Which group does Dante look like?
	The men on the left or the men on the right?
	What TV show is this?
	This is from, I think this is one of the SVU. I think it's SVU. It's one of the Law and Orders, I believe.
	And it was the first time I ever heard this.
	And if you look it up, it's documented.
	And I thought we'd bring it back into play.
	And so I thought I'd pull this clip out.
	Which group does Dante look like?
	The men on the left or the men on the right?
	Um, the men on the left?
	Oh, you have a sixth sense.
	By that I mean you see gay people.
	You think Dante's gay?
	Yeah, and so do you.
	All the men on the left are gay.
	A new study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology showed that most people can identify gay men by face alone.
	It has to do with the pattern of muscle tension in the face.
	Yeah, good luck with talking about that these days.
	Well, wasn't it based on research?
	It was based on research.
	Guys had put together an ALGO and they could detect that.
	Then they had a pretty high success rate.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's just...
	I think I'm pretty good at detecting that too.
	Well, I think...
	Might be a good gator.
	Well, sometimes you could be wrong.
	I mean, sure, but...
	You're bringing up some guy who looks gay, you know, facially.
	It's not like he's dressed in pink.
	But it's a guy who just looks gay.
	And you can bring this up with millennials.
	Really?
	Wait a minute.
	You brought up to a millennial, hey, I can see if a guy, if a dude's gay just by looking at his face.
	That's what you said.
	Oh, okay.
	No, I'm going to keep saying no until you stop saying what you're saying.
	No.
	No.
	What you do is you're watching TV or something and you say, that guy looks gay just out of the blue like that.
	Because he does.
	Unfortunately, with most Hollywood productions, it's like everybody.
	But the guy looks gay and then you throw this factoid at them about people who have been studied and their facial looks.
	You can spot certain, not all by any means, men who are gay because they have a certain look.
	And it always just makes him nuts.
	Yeah.
	Even though they agree that the guy looks gay.
	How can a guy look gay unless there's something to him looking gay?
	They can't get their head around it.
	I would not recommend this as a fun experiment for the weekend with your millennial.
	You're probably best to stay away from this whole idea.
	No.
	No.
	It's already been come and gone.
	It's come and gone.
	Oh, that was it?
	Those are your historical clips?
	Those are my two historical clips.
	It turns out in 2009 when we first started doing clips to any extreme, there weren't a lot of clips to pick from.
	I would send you like six clips and that would be it.
	Sure.
	2004.
	Well, A, there wasn't such an abundance.
	We didn't really...
	Well, we did have YouTube, I think, at the time, 2009.
	We had YouTube then, didn't we?
	Of course we did.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, stuff...
	People weren't putting their stuffs on YouTube.
	Oh, no.
	The mainstream didn't want any part of it.
	Now it's a deluge.
	Yes, it is.
	A deluge, for sure.
	Well, I have a couple of, let's see, some 2020 stuff, just to kind of move it along.
	We had the Honorable Elijah Cummings was laid to rest, and he got quite the send-off from the elites in Washington.
	Of course, he's an iconic figure.
	He was a huge part of the civil rights movement.
	At least that's what we see on the Wikipedia.
	He was at Selma.
	He was certainly a part of the dramatized, televised parts, which is very good.
	He's very important for things he's done.
	And, of course...
	He was very embroiled with the President.
	He went down fighting, as we've seen many people tweet.
	He was still signing all kinds of subpoena papers as he was dying.
	He went down a champ to try and get the President impeached.
	And I think there's certain things, first of all, when you have this big, I mean, it's really, it's nice and it's the honorable thing to do.
	I hope we don't have for every single congressman.
	I mean, I don't know what the cutoff is or what qualifications you need to lay in state.
	It's rare.
	It's very rare.
	McCain had it, which even that was considered reasonably rare.
	But Elijah Cummings, man, they set it up nice.
	And the way they had the ceremony done, it was a grand production.
	It was beautifully done.
	I really despise that Hillary Clinton politicized her eulogy.
	And it's not about Clinton.
	It's not about Cummings.
	It's just inappropriate.
	It's inappropriate to do that.
	But if you've read anything about the Clintons, and it is Clinton Cash, I believe, that starts off...
	With the opening chapter in the book, it's the Tim Russert funeral.
	Tim Russert, who is the predecessor to Chip Chip Todd on Meet the Press.
	Chip Todd.
	So Tim Russert, he died, and all of Washington came out to celebrate his life in the church, and the whole first chapter of this Clinton Cash book is an account of how they work the crowd.
	Because that's what they do.
	They go to funerals, weddings, and they work the crowd.
	And I wanted to play this for posterity's sake, because...
	Well, before you play it, I think a lot of it has to do with, I could be wrong here, but I think that the Elijah Cummings coffin was filled with cocaine.
	But he also prayed and worked for healing.
	He weathered storms and earthquakes, but never lost his faith.
	Like that Old Testament prophet, he stood against corrupt leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.
	And the crowd goes wild.
	applaudissements Now, there's a little more to that.
	So she essentially is comparing Trump and I guess Melania, the first lady, to King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, who of course were the false prophets.
	Jezebel was really the bad one in this mix.
	King Ahab was no sweetheart, but it was Jezebel.
	I think that she means, does she mean Melania with that?
	You know, it's beyond me.
	Jezebel, she herself suffered a gruesome death of defenstration, which I had to look up.
	Have you ever heard of this, death by defenstration?
	I have no idea.
	It means they throw you out the window.
	Oh, like, uh-oh.
	So they just throw you out the window.
	Most of the buildings back there were only two stories.
	Defenstration is the act of throwing someone out the window.
	The term was coined around the time of an incident at Prague Castle in 1618, which became the spark that started the Thirty Years' War.
	This was done in good bohemian style.
	At least they did it in good bohemian style.
	So yeah, these are of course horrible people and she just said, hey, you know, he didn't bow to those horrible people, but it gets better.
	And he looked out for the vulnerable among us.
	He lifted up the next generation of leaders.
	Leaders!
	He even worked a few miracles.
	And he kept reminding us Life is no dress rehearsal.
	The American people want to live their lives without fear of their leaders.
	And as leaders, we have a responsibility to keep the promises made when running for office to make the lives of Americans better.
	So, of course, we should not be afraid of our leaders and other slam at Trump.
	By the way, the way she phrased it, she made it sound as though she is one of the leaders.
	Yes, she did.
	And this is my second point, is I'm sick and tired of politicians calling themselves leaders.
	You're a representative, a chosen—well, Hillary Clinton is not a chosen representative— She's chosen by Ilzebub.
	But this has got to stop.
	This leaders.
	Oh, Leader Pelosi.
	Oh, Leader Schumer.
	Oh, Leader Hillary.
	Buzz off.
	Didn't we have a clip of Nancy and Chuck calling themselves leaders?
	Didn't we have a clip of Jim McLaren?
	Not McLaren, but Jim.
	There's McNeil.
	McNeil Lair.
	Jim Lair.
	Once asking somebody, he said, well, what will happen if you become our ruler?
	Remember the ruler clip?
	Yes, I do remember.
	Let me see.
	I don't know if I have it.
	Guy called the guy, he's going to be a ruler.
	He's not even a leader.
	It's not beyond leader.
	You go from leader to ruler.
	We're the slaves.
	Yes.
	Well, I'm sick of it.
	And I just don't think it's okay for people who have been elected to represent portions of the American public to refer themselves as leaders.
	You're dead on.
	They're representatives.
	They're not leaders.
	And they're definitely not rulers.
	No.
	But you're right.
	She counts herself in there kind of the way she worded it as a leader.
	Ugh.
	Sickening.
	That's an interesting pet peeve.
	Sickening.
	Sickening.
	Well, it's kind of like our country.
	You know?
	The country.
	No, everyone else is this country.
	No, it's our country.
	My country.
	No, it is our country, but mostly people of the Hillary ilk refer to it as this.
	Oh yeah, this country.
	Now let's go to two of the leading candidates for Democratic nominee to run as president.
	A very serious process, very serious job.
	Two of the same question asked in a little different manner.
	By two or opposed to two of the leaders, leaders in the race, which is different from leader in the House, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
	The question is about the cops and it's basically about the talk.
	So if you're and it's asked posed by black Americans who are saying, hey, what would you tell your kid?
	If I were your kid, what would you tell me about dealing with the cops if they pull me over?
	And Joe Biden goes first.
	Hold over for routine traffic stops and end up dead.
	If I were your daughter, what advice would you give me the next time I need to stop by the police?
	If you were my daughter, you'd be a Caucasian girl and you wouldn't be pulled over.
	So first of all, he says, oh, no, you would be Caucasian.
	You wouldn't be black if you were my daughter.
	And you wouldn't get pulled over.
	What?
	What's wrong?
	That is what's wrong.
	There is institutional racism that still exists.
	And what it should require is every police department in America should have to go through what they used to call back when I first got started in the women's movement, sensitivity training.
	Hello, pot, kettle calling, Joe, with your sensitivity training.
	Sensitivity training?
	I haven't heard that term for 30 or 40 years.
	But I think it's...
	By the way, that's extremely bullshit.
	Women get pulled over all the time.
	Of course!
	It's incredibly rude to say this about the police.
	Like, well, if you were my kid, you'd be white, you wouldn't get pulled over.
	And there's systemic racism.
	F you, Joe Biden.
	I think we're a little more integrated these days.
	I don't know if you're still living in the busing era.
	And Bernie Sanders, he's completely nuts.
	My question is to you, if I'm your son, what advice would you give me?
	So remember, this is about advice.
	Just what Bernie Sanders thinks of law enforcement in America.
	The next time I'll be pulled over by a police officer.
	Next time you pull over by a police officer.
	I would do my best to identify who that police officer is in a polite way.
	Ask him or her for their name.
	I would respect what they are doing.
	in the back of the head, but I would also be very mindful of the fact that as a nation, we have got to hold police officers accountable for the actions that they commit.
	And that is, so to answer your question, I would be very cautious, if you were my son, in terms of dealing with that police officer, but I would also defend my rights and know my rights.
	And make sure, if possible, that police officer's camera is on what goes on.
	Thank you.
	A tepid round of applause for Bernie on that one.
	So basically, hey, you know, whatever you do, careful, because these guys will shoot you in the back of the head.
	It's not okay.
	Wow.
	This is crazy talk.
	And by the way, who's protecting you, Bernie, when you're roaming around?
	Do you have any kind of security detail?
	Are they related to police?
	Do they have guns?
	Do they have guns?
	Be careful.
	You're going to get shot in the back of the head.
	Unbelievable.
	That's a borderline clip of the day, that one.
	That's a beauty.
	Well, I'm sad I have to take it because it's so disgusting.
	So douchey.
	Shooting in the back of the head.
	Super douchey.
	Now, the guy I really would like to have run for president has done an interview on Big Boy TV. Now, the whole interview I'm going to deconstruct with Mo on Monday.
	This is Kanye West.
	Who is bulletproof.
	I envy Kanye.
	He is able to do pretty much anything he wants, say exactly what's on his mind, and people still buy his damn sneakers.
	And they buy his music.
	He has sneakers?
	Yeezys, baby.
	The Yeezys.
	The $500 sneakers.
	He has $500 sneakers.
	Yes.
	And so he, you know, first Kanye was saying, hey, you know, I can, I'm a black man, I'm putting on a red hat supporting Trump.
	Isn't that crazy?
	And now, his new album, which dropped, did you see it drop?
	It dropped.
	Yes, I understand it broke when it dropped.
	It dropped and broke.
	Called Jesus is King.
	This is part of his spiritual journey.
	He has these Sunday morning sessions, which are quite cool to watch.
	And it's all, you know, it's church.
	I don't know if he's going back to his religious roots, but he's now portraying that.
	And he's getting a lot of grief for showing that he believes in God.
	Yeah.
	Even though he believes he's God or is better than God, whatever it is, he's showing his faith and he's getting a lot of grief for it.
	And from that interview, I want to play two minutes because I just love what he says.
	They were fighting for us to have the right to our opinion, not the right to vote for whoever the white liberals said black people are supposed to vote for.
	You get what I'm saying?
	Then James Corden went in and said, well, this president, you're Christian, and this president, I don't see anything Christian about him.
	I said, okay, so last year y'all tried to tell me who I'm supposed to vote for because I'm black.
	Now this year, white liberals trying to tell me who I'm supposed to vote for because I'm Christian.
	That would be like, I live in Calabasas, so everyone in my car has got to be a convertible, huh?
	It's just all based on y'all vision of what I'm supposed to do.
	And I understand like a lot of people, it's not a matter of whether you like it or who like it.
	We are in a country where we're allowed to like whatever we like.
	What do you say to people that say you turned your back on?
	Exactly.
	100%.
	I have turned my back on the idea of victimization mentality.
	We are locked up.
	We went from one and four.
	We went from one and four to one and three, but we always pointing at the white people, but yet we want to spend all of our money on foreigns.
	We want to spend all our money on luxury as opposed to going and buying some land.
	America is for sale.
	And there's a lot of barren land.
	Disney bought a lot of it in Florida.
	But the culture has you focused so much on fucking somebody bitch and pulling up in a foreign and rapping about things that could get you locked up and then saying you about prison reform.
	Like, it's, bro.
	We brainwashed out here, bro.
	Come on, man.
	This is a free man talking.
	Democrats had us voting Democrats for footsteps for years, bro.
	What are you talking about?
	Guns in the 80s?
	Taking the fathers out of the home?
	Plan B? Lowering our votes?
	Making us abort our children?
	God should not kill.
	See, there's a guy I would actually consider calling a leader.
	Although, looking at the troll room, you guys don't understand Kanye, that's for sure.
	People dislike him.
	Interesting.
	Hmm.
	I learned something here about rolling up in a foreign.
	Yeah?
	I hadn't heard that term.
	He's referring to a Benz, I guess.
	Well, it's the three B's.
	It's Beamer, Benz, Bentley.
	But I never heard the rolling up in a foreign kind of like that.
	Then you start using it.
	If I had a foreign to roll up in, I would.
	You just use it.
	You don't have to have one.
	Right.
	Is that rolling up in a foreign?
	I like Kanye.
	Well, I don't know him, so I can't say one way or the other.
	I don't know him either.
	I just like him.
	His music is alien to most of my tastes, which most hip-hop is.
	He's no Green Day, let's be honest.
	Yeah, that's a completely different genre, so I don't know why you equate the two.
	No, it's not to your taste.
	No, my taste tends to classical music, that's what I have, running 24-7.
	Yes, I know that.
	I'm not making fun of you.
	And Rihanna, I'll put up with her.
	See, then I would have been making fun of you if I said, you'll put up with her.
	Very nice.
	You'll put up with her.
	So let's take a look at a couple of things.
	Let's go back in time again, much before the show ever began.
	Unfortunately, I made this clip and then I never got to...
	I had the guy's name at once, but this is a Democrat congressman on the House floor.
	Uh...
	Well, you can try to, people can try to guess the date, but here we go.
	And 24 years ago with the President of the United States, this day feels to me like we're taking a step down the road to becoming a political lynch mob.
	We're in so much hurry to get this done so it can be in the Saturday-Sunday news cycle and have our mint juleps at 5 o'clock.
	We are going to find a rope, find a tree, and ask a bunch of questions later.
	It will be too late for fairness.
	Back in the day when you could still talk about lynchings as a Democrat.
	Ah, good days.
	Good days.
	Miss those good times.
	Yeah, 1998.
	Was this in response to...
	You can't say anything anymore.
	Except on the No Agenda show.
	This is where somehow...
	No.
	And why is that, Adam?
	There's only one reason.
	Because there is no way to deplatform us.
	We have our own infrastructure run by us.
	And when I say us, I mean the producers.
	I'm talking about Void Zero, Bemrose, Derino, everyone running the stuff.
	We have our own information streams.
	We have our own network.
	We have our own social network.
	And most of all, we don't have advertisers.
	I'm going to show myself all by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	That's right.
	We play five clips and back to thanking people.
	What?
	In fact, we do have a few people to thank for show 1185.
	The roundup, the people that are thanking us for our 12th anniversary, and it's a good list.
	Starting with Noah Wattenmaker.
	I think I'm pronouncing that correctly.
	I'm sorry, I need to stop you for a second.
	What did you mean by we play five clips and we're back to thank you?
	It seemed like a short interlude.
	Let me tell you exactly how this works.
	One hour into the show is when I try to get us to start executive producerships.
	At five minutes past the two-hour mark is where I try to get the second segment started.
	Any complaints?
	No, it's the way the block system works.
	It's been like this for a long time.
	It just seemed like it flew by.
	Oh, because you're having fun.
	That makes sense.
	I guess.
	I just mentioned it because I thought we were flown by, but I look at the clock and you're actually behind.
	Exactly.
	You're 10 minutes behind on the normal clock.
	Exactly.
	Nora Wattenmaker starts us off at $185.65.
	And this is another guy that's going to the podium.
	This makes me a knight at last.
	I'd like to be dubbed Sir Koya of the Sierra...
	Batholith.
	What?
	Batholith?
	Okay.
	That's what it says.
	Batholith.
	With some clean sheets and hot cocoa at the table, please.
	Love y'all, producers included.
	Of course.
	Happy anniversary.
	I think he sent in a note later and said, could you please change that to fresh sheets instead of clean sheets?
	He says he didn't feel like it made any sense.
	So, yes, of course.
	I have them.
	I have them ready for you.
	Sir DaddyCast is up $144.
	Congrats to us.
	Sir Arthur Gobitz, which I don't remember hearing from him for a while.
	Thanks for my sanity, is what he really says.
	Mark Hall, which I believe is your buddy in Texas.
	Sir Mark Hall, the official documentarian of the No Agenda show.
	Sir Code Monkey and Renner, South Dakota.
	And by the way, these are 120.
	That was Sir Gobbets was 121.21 and Mark Hall 121.21.
	Those are 10 years, 12 years of slave donations.
	Hold on, hold on.
	That's followed by Sir Code Monkey at 120.
	Can I just read Sir Mark Hall's note for a second?
	Sure.
	Dear John and Adam, congrats on 12 years of no agenda.
	Four out of ten psychologists say no agenda is more addictive than cocaine and Oreos.
	Could be.
	Sir CodeMonkey120120 in Renner, South Dakota.
	Colin Pettit120120.
	Or Petit.
	These are also the 12-year ones from the previous show.
	Melchior Vonderdecken.
	Melchior Vonderdecken.
	Melchior.
	Yeah, that makes more sense.
	And he's in the Czech Republic.
	Yes, he is.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Czech Republic.
	Yeah, CZ. 120120.
	Thank you.
	Candler, 120-120.
	John Grumling, pretty amazing, 120-120.
	Pretty amazing this show has lasted this long.
	Also, he says, just as amazing no one else seems to have figured it out.
	That does surprise me.
	It's not amazing, but it does surprise me.
	It's like, haven't you figured it out that the key to maybe all modern media, yeah, all modern media, all new media, the key is you have to have the people producing with you.
	It's no longer consumer stuff.
	This is the mistake they all make.
	I think he means more than that.
	I think we figured out that, but he's also, I think, referring to the material.
	Nobody else does our show.
	I mean, there was one group that did it for a while, kind of, but they overproduced it.
	They tried to do video.
	They tried to do video.
	Well, you're talking about something else.
	No, no.
	The video, you're right.
	They tried to do video.
	I don't know what the point of that was.
	It just added to the overhead.
	It was a problem.
	It added to the problem, yeah.
	We've seen other groups that do get pretty good shows and they make a lot of money and more than we do actually.
	But they got 10 people working there.
	Yeah.
	They got a producer and they got a guy on the board.
	A gopher.
	A gopher.
	Mike guy and a gaffer.
	A gopher and a gopher.
	Give me some coffee.
	Gaffer and a gaffer.
	Give me some coffee.
	And a fluffer.

	Can I just go back to Abraham Daly since he will be knighted?
	He says, I've been listening to the show for 11 years and have been supporting the show when possible since 2012.
	This donation makes me eligible for knighthood.
	I would like to be knighted as Sir Ed of T6R7. What is that reference?

	What?
	There was another de-douching needed.
	But do an anonymous, just a de-douching for the one guy I missed.
	You've been de-douched.
	And that concludes our list of well-wishers, producers, and helpers, and everybody who just gave us the congratulations for the 12th anniversary of the No Agenda Show.
	I want to thank each and every one of them.
	Yes, and also everybody who supported us under 50, which we no longer mention on the show just for brevity's sake.
	I mean, it's just five clips and we're back to thanking people, apparently.
	Yep.
	But seriously, everybody who supports the show is a part of the success of the show.
	We are the success.
	This is what we're doing.
	And just look around and look at the people that you're in communications with on No Agenda Social.
	Oh God, maybe even on Twitter or Facebook if you're still there or in the troll room.
	These are your people.
	There are people.
	And we somehow have created this value for value network that just keeps on chugging.
	And yes, no one's figured it out.
	Maybe we're special.
	I don't know.
	We're special.
	But I really, personally, and I know I can speak on behalf of John, appreciate, in particular, the people who really struggle to support the show and do it anyway.
	Thank you.
	It's highly appreciated.
	And as you can see, and as you'll see today, even with $5 a month, people do make knighthoods and become a member of the club, but you're really already all part of it.
	So thank you again.
	And remember, we'll do our next show.
	We just keep on truckin' on Thursday.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Okay, we got some jobs.
	We also have a...
	I got a lot here for this segment.
	We also have an F-cancer report from Phil Rodas for his cousin Di, who was undergoing her second round of treatment.
	Could I please have the community get behind her with an F-cancer this week?
	Sir Phil of the Northern Lakes, of course.
	Stop it!
	Stop it!
	You've got karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	It's your birthday, birthday!
	October champion!
	Well, let's see.
	Today is the 27th.
	Hold on a second.
	27th of October, we have quite the birthday list.

	Sir Rod says happy birthday to his podcast buddy Bert Brisson, who turns 44 on the 29th.

	And Sir Nubbin keeps it a little shorter and becomes the Baron of the Valley.
	Both of you, our thanks for your support of the No Agenda Show and yet an additional $1,000 aggregate amount.
	Thank you for your courage, gentlemen, both of you.
	And now we go over to our Knights and Dames.
	We've got, actually...
	Looks like only nights today.
	Remember, we're still on that dame drive.
	Get your favorite dame onto the podium here for the ceremonies into the round table.
	John, we need our special 12.
	I got the middle-sized one here.
	No dames.
	That's right.
	I'll grab mine.
	Nice and long.
	Up on the podium, please, Mark Jasper, John Hawley, Noah Wathenmacher, and Abraham Daly.
	Gentlemen, all of you have supported the No Agenda Show in the amount of $1,000 or more.

	And we'll get those rings and the sealing wax and your official certificate out to you as soon as possible.
	Of course, you have to hand over some pertinent information like your address and your ring size.
	It's very helpful to get that out.
	And I guess we have the No Agenda Cloud coming soon, which Eric has teased.
	There'll be all kinds of stuff, especially for the Knights and the Dames and accounting, and also for meetups.
	That's right, the meetups.
	No Agenda Cloud!
	It's like a party!
	It's like a party!
	That's right!
	Wow, there's a lot of meetups on Sunday.
	We'd like to do a little bit of a rundown for you.
	Brand new to the list is Wednesday Toronto Local.
	And this will be Elizabeth May Straw Drive.
	So at the meeting at the Duke of Westminster is the name of the venue.
	And that'll be on Wednesday at 5.30 in the afternoon.
	On Friday, the 1st, Seattle Monthly at 7.30 in the Canterbury Ale House.
	Saturday, the 2nd, Boston at noon.
	Pay attention to these times at the Faunel Hall Beer Garden at the Patios.
	A lot of people are going to be there, a lot of organizers.
	Updated the Tri-State Pennsylvania Meetup, Somerset, New Jersey, 3 o'clock on Saturday.
	That'll be at Stage House Tavern, Somerset, New Jersey.
	The 7th, that's next Thursday, Orange County, No Agenda Meetup, Part 2.
	That'll be at 6 o'clock.
	Please go to the Boss Cat Kitchen in Libations in Newport Beach.
	Also on Thursday, Myrtle Beach at the Sneaky Beagle.
	And that'll be at 7 o'clock.
	The Torchlight Brewing in British Columbia, Nelson to be exact, is where you can find the meetup at 7 o'clock on Friday.
	And still to come, on the 9th of November, North Charleston, South Carolina, Auburn, Sierra Foothills, California, Southwest Ontario, Scandinavia.
	On the 14th, Local 512, Austin, Texas.
	We'll be doing that again.
	The 15th, the Wichita Cowtown Hoedown.
	And the 22nd, in The Hague, in the Netherlands, Kitchener, Ontario.
	The 24th will be Utrecht in the Lowlands.
	And the Southeast London-UK meetup will be On the 30th, a couple of quick, although it's hard to make anything quick when it comes to meetup reports, and please note that there's no way we can do all your meetup reports, A, because they're very long.
	You need to put them on noagendameetups.com so everybody can enjoy them, but also there's too many meetups.
	I do want to make mention of the Shanghai meetup, which had seven people in attendance.
	Sent me pictures.
	So there's Atlano, Pat, Adam, Ruiz, JCD, and Adam.
	Oh, JCD's head's on a stick.
	That's right.
	You were there.
	Magnum, Dr.
	Jones, my head on a stick, and Mark.
	Five Americans, one from the UK, one from Ukraine, two tech engineers, and four teachers.
	Which is very nice to hear.
	And they had a very good time.
	And that was, I think, Professor Jones, our PhD, who organized that.
	And nice to know that we reach all the way to Shanghai enough for people to hang out and meet up with each other.
	I didn't know they'd get the show there.
	How did they get the show?
	I didn't know they could.
	I guess they have ways around the Great Firewall of China.
	The Queen City slaves held their inaugural meet-up Friday night at the Sycamore Brewing in Charlotte.
	Now, this was hosted by Bill Cameron.
	There were 15 to 20 producers that showed up, brought together by the Heads on the Sheet poster.
	Everything good, they say, about no-agenda meetups held true for our group, an eclectic mix of Gitmo Nation slaves, having never met one another, but chatting and laughing together like lifelong friends with no triggering and plenty of in-the-mornings.
	Rick, whose night name I did not catch...
	From China was also to give us the authentic China is asshole.
	We had nights, pre-nights, pre-dames, douchebags, the resident No Agenda tranny Ali Jade, and it's true, and a Seed Man fan wearing a Space Force t-shirt.
	I'm glad that people got to meet the official tranny of the No Agenda show, Ali Jade.
	She keeps us on the straight and narrow, as it were.
	Conversations ranging from neurolinguistic programming to Epstein to what's your favorite first-person shooter?
	Couldn't have found a better group of people to spend my Friday night with.
	Truly a blessing to be connected to all these like-minded individuals through an organic network that you two have led over these past 12 years.
	Yes, we're leaders.
	It's refreshing to have conversations with people that see through the propaganda of the M5M and the groupthink of the modern popular culture driven by the elites.
	And I think I have one more.
	Yes, the Oregon Local 33 meetup.
	This is interesting.
	Greetings, Podfather.
	Buzzkill, we had a great turnout of 14 at the FN Brewery in Oregon City with the intention of doing some axe throwing, but things don't always go as planned.
	Turns out there were only two throwing lanes and they were already booked for the night.
	Then we came to find out they had a really loud live band on stage.
	That combined with limited indoor seating left us standing outside in near 45 degree weather wondering what to do.
	Fortunately, they had a couple of large outdoor fire pits as some kind souls brought a large stack of kindling to warm us.
	Next thing we know, it's four hours later.
	Guests as far away as Seattle.
	Always like a gathering of old friends.
	Ages spanning from 19 to well past 60.
	Meetups are part of any well-managed amygdala health plan.
	And I read these so people can understand how important this is.
	And this is your doing.
	We're just making time for it on the show, and we help with some infrastructure also produced by you.
	But this is the group that you're a part of.
	And I think that some of these relationships will last on for a long time.
	Beyond Adam and John, the show may continue forever, but eventually we'll go down.
	This is where you say something encouraging.
	Hello!
	Noagendameetups.com is where you can find all of the meetups that we were discussing, but also, if you don't see one near you, why don't you go ahead and create one?
	And thank you all for your courage for supporting this, supporting the show, and for being with us for 12 years, or one year, 12 months, or 12 minutes.
	You're all welcome here.
	Yeah, there are a few people that actually were since the beginning, and then there's some people that started at the beginning.
	We don't recommend that.
	We recommend you listen to the show as it goes, you know, the one that we just did.
	It doesn't matter who I talk to when it comes to that.
	If I say, you know, I was talking to someone the other day.
	I said, you know, people, if they miss three shows...
	They'll go back and they'll listen.
	They'll catch up.
	And I think you and I, John, are both of the opinion that why?
	Just listen to what's new.
	Yeah.
	There's something about the episodic nature or missing something, I guess.
	Well, you do miss certain things, but we try to back announce as much as we can.
	It's hard, though.
	A lot of things that we just take for granted.
	That's why I wanted to play that clip about the gay faces.
	That's the reason?
	Yeah, that is the exact reason.
	But see, if I said Ranch Hand right now, not everybody would understand because they haven't listened to all the shows.
	You're right.
	Ranch Hand is one of the other little tidbits lost in the shuffle.
	But is it that important?
	No, I don't think so.
	Let's take a look at the unhoused situation, both in California and in Austin, Texas.
	Austin, now it looks like we have reversed the rules.
	You will no longer be allowed to camp and or sit on public sidewalks unless you are 15 feet from the doorway.
	So cops now literally have rulers to measure out 15 feet.
	And if you're within that 15 feet, they still have to...
	Give you fair warning.
	Tell you where you can go.
	Make sure that you understand where you can go.
	And only then can they do something about it.
	And so we continue to have the unserved and clearly unwelcome homeless population stuck under the bridge and the highways of 183 and I-35 with very little done for them, of course, because now it's only become an argument about where we're going to stick these people.
	One of our local guys here, and Tina's really big, she follows the unhoused conversation very closely here in Austin.
	And here's a guy who's part of this group of people who are really trying to figure out what to do.
	And wow, what an idea!
	He decided to talk to a homeless guy, record him, and see what he had to say about the changes in the city ordinance.
	And this is the conversation now.
	Should it be...
	Should it also pertain to sleeping under bridges and highways?
	Should we move them out of there as well?
	John Moran, he's over here on 4th Street, and he's got a couple of thoughts he'd like to share about Abbott's I should probably add to this that Governor Abbott has threatened the mayor of Austin.
	If the homeless don't disappear, if we don't protect the other citizens of Austin, he's going to send in...
	Government agencies to clear everything out.
	And that would be TxDOT, Texas Department of Transportation, who apparently would be removing everything under the highways and the bridges.
	Saying that he's going to use TxDOT to remove the encampments underneath the bridge.
	What do you think is going to happen and how do you feel about it?
	Chaos.
	A riot.
	One thing, a riot.
	It's all I'm going to put to work.
	Big Arth riot.
	Why do you say that?
	Because you're moving us out from under bridges and doorways.
	It's going to cause city workers and also city people cause kayaks.
	Because we're not going to move, we'll come back and it's going to cause a fight.
	Without city officers taking and moving us, you're going to have the city to move us?
	You think it was good that the council has banned camping on sidewalks, but you think that they should leave the camping under the bridge?
	Yes.
	Under the bridge, yes.
	Sidewalks, Norway, no.
	I don't mind flying a sign.
	Flying a sign, you mean panhandling, holding up a sign asking for money?
	But camping on bridges, keep that.
	We need that area.
	Sidewalks, doorways, bend that part.
	I don't mind that.
	Bridges, leave them alone.
	At least somewhere you can sleep.
	Somewhere.
	Because you're taking all of it.
	I found that interesting.
	He's like, you know, we shouldn't be hanging out on the sidewalks.
	He said, I don't mind flying a sign, which is begging.
	But no, we shouldn't be sleeping on the streets in front of businesses, but we do belong under the bridges and the...
	We belong like trolls.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Civil war in Texas.
	It's very possible.
	But now let's see how things are going in California, where this...
	Well, is it the Santa Rosa bike trail, I think, the one that...
	The video went viral, the guy biking along this trail, and it's just miles and miles of...
	That was in Southern California.
	Wasn't it Santa Rosa?
	No.
	There's no action in Santa Rosa.
	Oh, really?
	In the Roseland area of Santa Rosa, the Joe Rodota Trail is technically the property of the Sonoma County Regional Park System.
	But lately, those calling the shots here are the homeless who have taken it over.
	A group of angry residents calling themselves Citizens for Action Now posted this video of the encampments running for a quarter mile up the trail, including a man who appears to be injecting himself in full view of everyone.
	Police estimate more than 100 tents in the camp, but they say they can't do anything about it because of a 2018 federal court ruling in Idaho that said homeless people cannot be evicted from public property unless there is a bed available and storage for personal belongings.
	Oh, I think you heard this on the No Agenda show.
	This is the case that came out of Boise and is being touted by douchebags all across the country as, oh no, we can't actually remove homeless encampments because it's unconstitutional.
	I'll put that article in the show notes.
	Yes, please.
	Oh, by the way, you misled me.
	Why?
	For one thing, I didn't know there was this action, but it's only a quarter mile.
	So that's the guy driving for miles and miles like the one in L.A. That one in L.A. It's different.
	That's different.
	Yes, I was wrong.
	But it keeps going.
	So officials have now simply posted a sign warning the public against using this public trail.
	I'm kind of seeing it as...
	Giving in.
	Giving in or giving up temporarily, maybe, until they figure out what to do.
	And the homeless seem to agree.
	Rayvon Hill lives here and works to keep this place peaceful.
	But she believes the sign establishes this area as a place where the homeless can reside in lieu of providing enough beds for all that need one.
	Do you see that as some kind of an acknowledgement that this is now your space?
	Um...
	We have been given the right to be until they give us places where we can actually be and not have to get shifted every other day.
	The sheer number of homeless people has outpaced government's ability to deal with it.
	But it is also too big a problem to ignore, and homeowners are making sure officials understand that.
	In Santa Rosa, John Ramos, KPIX 5.
	I want to throw something in here to this mix because this comes out of this Idaho case.
	And it's really unusual that some local case in Idaho becomes like the rallying cry for homeless advocates.
	And I think homeless advocates are actually advocating homelessness in California or elsewhere because in the 70s, for example, there was a ruling by a local judge In Berkeley, that prostitute streetwalkers, there was a lot of streetwalkers back in the 70s, that you couldn't arrest any of them unless you arrested all the customers.
	And so the cops weren't going to do that because it was just not going to happen.
	It was going to make a mess in courts and everything else.
	So they just...
	For all practical purposes, from around 1973 or 1974 to about 1980...
	Streetwalkers were legal in Berkeley, and it turned out to be Oakland, just kind of in the Bay Area.
	But I didn't hear that it was legal all over the country.
	Well, let me add something, because as it relates to the Boise case, the Ninth Circuit struck down the camping ban there, saying that it violated the Eighth Amendment's protection on cruel and unusual punishment.
	That's the whole, that's what they're basing it on.
	And of course the Ninth Circuit would be, oh no, you're right, that's cruel and unusual punishment to have your tent taken away.
	And so Boise has appealed to the Supreme Court, which is what everybody's waiting for.
	But that's what's going on.
	It's a social justice warrior take on the Eighth Amendment.
	Well, the Ninth Circuit would be one of the groups to do it.
	Exactly.
	And this is what Austin is also saying.
	Well, we can't.
	It's really a problem because, you know, Boise had it with their Eighth Amendment problem.
	We'll have to wait for the Supreme Court.
	I don't know if these people are pussies or what it is.
	I mean, obviously...
	Well, there was a report.
	I didn't clip this.
	Now that you brought this up, I should have.
	But Democracy Now!
	did a whole special on homelessness in the Bay Area.
	And they cited Oakland as ground zero.
	Really?
	Interesting.
	Which really isn't.
	But it is on one hand and isn't on the other.
	But I would say three years ago or four years ago, if you were, when the homeless situation was street pooping and all the rest, especially in San Francisco, it was starting to boom, it was becoming a boom.
	Oakland was, there was no homeless in Oakland.
	And I always thought to myself, well, you know, Oakland takes a harsher stance than anybody else, and so San Francisco's loaded with homeless and Oakland's got none, and then now all of a sudden Oakland's crawling with homeless.
	They got huge encampments here and there.
	And public parks have been taken over like they're supposed to be parks for, you know, kids and the rest.
	And there's just homeless encampments in there.
	It's shanty towns.
	And I must have been stemming from this Idaho situation then.
	Yes, it's the same thing.
	And this has gone all up and down the West Coast.
	And it's, well, we might as well just call Austin a part of the West Coast when it comes to justice.
	And of course, none of this actually deals with the problem of the homeless.
	It's all just, where do we put them?
	Which is the sad part about it, because you get to this point where you've made it, you know, for four months, it's been mayhem in Austin, certainly downtown, and now it's not even about how do we help or what can we do, it's just where do we put them?
	And where do we not put them?
	It's disgusting.
	It is actually tremendous privilege, all of Austin.
	It's one big douchebaggery of privilege.
	So, Tina and I are having dinner with Alan Graham at Community First Village this week.
	So maybe I'll have more to report about what happened to our homelessness czar who quit after one day on the job.
	I'd like to know that story.
	Well, that's a hopeless situation.
	Thanks for that report.
	Question.
	You tweeted on Thursday that you couldn't even find my tweet about the show.
	Did not show up in my stream.
	I mean, I can find it by going to Adam Curry.
	Right.
	But I follow you, and I get a stream of tweets from everyone I follow, and some of them never show up, and yours didn't show up at all.
	And I went all the way to the day before, and I went all the way forward, so I made sure that I could make this tweet, that you weren't in there, and you weren't.
	You know, it's interesting because I was discussing this with Tina and she says, yeah, but you really don't tweet.
	I said, what are you talking about?
	She said, you don't tweet.
	I tweet every day.
	My wife has not been seeing my tweets either.
	Because she just looks in the stream, she doesn't see it.
	She says, you don't tweet.
	I tweet?
	You do tweet.
	I mean, once in a while, the tweets come through.
	Last week, especially the show tweet, I always look for that.
	That comes through about, I say, two-thirds of the time, and then a third of the time, it never shows up in my stream at all, ever.
	Well, I want you to pay attention, because I think, well, at least I had a realization of what the problem may be.
	Twitter may think I'm just a bot, and I'll tell you why.
	Every time I tweet out the show or every time I tweet out the pre-show art, it's all through the API. It goes through the Freedom Controller, through the API, and it posts, which I'm sure gets a mark against me in Twitter land.
	And I also, I have not followed anyone new in a long time.
	So I decided to start just following people.
	In fact, if you show up and you have no agenda exec or associate exec or just producer, I'll follow you.
	If I see it, I don't always see it.
	And I think, just based upon a couple days worth of tweeting, I think that has made a difference.
	I think the algo just was fading me out as some bot that isn't really that interesting.
	It's true, I don't really engage, and I reply to people.
	That's about all the tweeting I do.
	But everything else comes from the API, and I think that may be hurting my...
	That and I have no checkmark, of course.
	That could be hurting my...
	I don't think this checkmark has anything to do with this.
	Oh, hell yes!
	Absolutely!
	Do you want to tell me that if Twitter has a choice of who they put in your feed, they're going to show the checkmark first before they show me?
	Of course it is!
	That's the cult which you're in, I might add.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, I think that has a lot to do with it.
	No, I don't notice this.
	I do notice that your tweets that I'm following specifically...
	I specifically follow you.
	I'm not getting you.
	And now that you mentioned Tina's not getting you either, this is now at the point of being ridiculous.
	That means nobody's getting you.
	The story of my life, nobody gets me.
	Nobody gets this guy.
	It's truly the story of my life.
	Nobody gets this guy.
	Anyway, so I really don't care.
	No, I don't.
	I really have stopped caring.
	It doesn't add that much to us, Twitter.
	It's an alert mechanism, so it's easy.
	But I think people who really are interested have an account at NoAgendaSocial.com where we don't have any algos.
	I'm there all the time.
	Yes, I know.
	And that is free, unlike, and I love that this finally happened, Google is now charging.
	This is hilarious.
	If you have Gmail and you're using more than, I think it's 15, maybe it's 13 gigabytes, which fills up pretty fast, you're now going to have to pay monthly.
	What?
	Yep, they've stopped.
	If you're going to pay, why pay Google?
	That's not the one you want to pay.
	No.
	If you have 13 gigabytes of email stored on Gmail, and you're just a regular Joe who does not listen to the No Agenda show, has no idea that you can actually get email in other places, safer, more secure, better, and that Google looks through your email to market towards you.
	Yeah, they do.
	You're now going to pay for the privilege above this 13 or 15 gigabyte level and people are starting to figure it out because Google put this It's
	been about 15 years for free?
	Bait and switch.
	Yeah.
	Long game.
	I would recommend ProtonMail, personally.
	And I think you should do your own mail server.
	A lot of people like ProtonMail.
	The only thing I don't like about it is they have one encryption key for everybody.
	So, if someone sends me a message from ProtonMail, it's encrypted by default, or they can make it encrypted, turn on encryption, but it's not a personal key.
	It's always a key for everybody, which is very strange.
	I have a few wind-up clips.
	I do have my riots report because there's all these riots that aren't being reported, although Democracy Now!
	mentions a couple of them, but they don't mention all of them, and then PBS mentions a couple that Democracy Now!
	doesn't mention, and they don't mention the Democracy Now!
	ones.
	Why would they?
	It's not about Trump.
	Let's go.
	Let's get through these riots so we can see what's going on.
	Here's the riots report.
	This is Chile.
	And Bolivia.
	President Sebastián Piñera called for a major reshuffling of his cabinet today following mass protests in Chile this week.
	One million people took to the streets in Santiago last night calling for economic reforms.
	The protests there began more than a week ago after a now canceled increase in subway fares.
	Piñera declared a state of emergency across much of Chile earlier this week but said he plans to lift it as soon as tomorrow.
	At least 17 people were killed and as many as 7,000 have been arrested since the protests began.
	Protests also continued last night in Bolivia after an official vote tally showed President Ivo Morales received enough votes to avoid a runoff in last Sunday's election.
	Residents in La Paz banged pots and took to the streets, demanding another vote despite Morales declaring victory.
	The official count showed Morales had more than a 10-point lead over Carlos Mesa, a former president, but Bolivia's Supreme Electoral Tribunal did not declare a winner.
	The United Nations, along with the U.S., Brazil, and Argentina, are demanding a runoff vote between Morales and Mesa.
	Wait a minute.
	Who's our guy?
	Well, apparently not this guy.
	We've got to figure out who the shill is.
	Do they have anything of value there?
	No, so we don't care that much.
	But let's go to Ecuador, where there's riots.
	In Ecuador, indigenous rights activists say they've halted negotiations with President Lenin Moreno over the government's persecution of indigenous leader Jaime Vargas.
	Vargas is the head of the indigenous nationalities of Ecuador, Canae, the organization that led recent anti-austerity protests in Ecuador.
	The massive anti-government protests were ongoing for two weeks since ceased after President Moreno and indigenous leaders struck a deal to cancel an austerity package pushed by the International Monetary Fund.
	Whoa, it's just globalists, globalists, globalists.
	Beautiful.
	Globalists, globalists, go to Guinea.
	Oh, my God.
	In Guinea, tens of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of the capital Conakry and other cities around the West African nation Thursday, opposing a proposed constitutional change that would let the sitting president run for a third term in office.
	The protests were heavily policed but peaceful, unlike smaller demonstrations last week that saw police open fire with live rounds, killing at least nine people and sending scores to the hospital.
	After those protests, authorities sentenced a dozen opposition politicians and civil society leaders to jail terms of up to one year.
	And not even getting to Hong Kong, France, and parts of Europe.
	Let's go to Iraq!
	In Iraq, security forces used tear gas to fight protesters who tried to enter Baghdad's heavily fortified green zone today.
	Demonstrators attempted to remove blast walls that were built on a bridge in central Baghdad to protect the government area.
	Today's clashes came just one day after at least 42 people were killed and renewed violence between government forces and the leaderless demonstrators.
	149 people were killed during the first round of demonstrations earlier this month.
	The anti-government protesters are demanding better jobs and services.
	Now, this is in the green zone, which we don't talk about much anymore, but it's a thing built by the United States.
	There's a big, monstrous embassy in there.
	Two billion dollar projects, the green zone.
	It's a huge, safe area in the middle of nowhere, or in Baghdad, in the middle of it, that is kind of impossible to get into.
	Once again, they'd lob a missile in there, but they didn't get any further than that, than attacking this.
	And it's huge.
	It's like the size of Hayward.
	And...
	This is just, to me, I'm seeing these go on and on, they don't like talking about it, but If you look at the depression cycle, which we should be in the middle of, it always results in all these riots and craziness going on around the world, all at the same time.
	But we're not in a depression because of our motivational speaker president.
	We may be in a depression, we just don't know it because we're all motivated.
	Yeah, something like that is going on.
	But these riots are like the indicator to me that something's up and it's everywhere.
	Yes, the Netherlands with the farmers.
	Yeah, and that's another one I didn't count.
	Yeah.
	You're right.
	Well, please bear in mind that the president is using the same phony baloney bullcrap stats that have been used, well, for as long as we've been doing this show when it comes to unemployment.
	And all these numbers are bogus.
	It's bogus.
	And all these homeless, I think, are an indicator.
	Did you think?
	Now, we did have this with, I remember this with Bush, and then with Obama, we had the camps, and then it kind of fell off the radar.
	And this is because of what you're being fed by the mainstream.
	The mainstream media is doing a poor job of informing the public.
	A large disservice.
	And, you know, have we talked about the pig swine flu?
	No.
	I mean, it's still ongoing.
	China still has a huge problem.
	That's not discussed in the least.
	No.
	None of it.
	Well, we do hear stories even like this from Democracy Now!
	Listen to this.
	This is the Weird World Series news.
	In sports news, the Houston Astros fired Assistant General Manager Brandon Taubman Thursday after he yelled at Sports Illustrated reporter Stephanie Epstein and two other female reporters, quote, Thank God we got a Suna.
	I'm so effing glad we got a Suna, he said.
	Epstein was wearing a purple domestic violence awareness bracelet at the time of the incident.
	Meanwhile, Major League Baseball is reviewing the status of Bob Drake, one of its senior umpires, just ahead of Game 2 of the World Series Wednesday night.
	Drake tweeted, quote, We'll be buying an AR-15 tomorrow because if you impeach my president this way, you will have another civil war, MAGA 2020.
	Drake since deleted his Twitter account and apologized.
	Oh my goodness.
	How is this sports news?
	Well, first of all, go Astros.
	Nice recovery yesterday.
	Nice.
	Second, it's...
	What?
	I can't be proud of our team?
	Jeez.
	It's not the Austin Astros.
	It's...
	They're from Texas.
	We don't have Astros.
	We got nothing here.
	We got...
	We have the Austin...
	Mud hands.
	I lost my train of thought.
	But yes, how about this?
	We need our own bracelets.
	Brown.
	For the color of poop, which is what you got.
	A brown poop bracelet for Gitmo Nation.
	I think that's the way to go.
	I'll leave us on a high note.
	With proposed legislation for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
	And this would change Section 53 of Chapter 272 of the General Laws.
	What?
	I'm just mumbling to myself.
	Do you want to share?
	I'm reading from my list.
	Sorry.
	This microphone is too sensitive.
	You actually heard me yawning from about five feet.
	A couple of shows ago, and it irked me that you could hear it.
	How do you think I felt?
	Here's the new law, and I just want you to know, this is where it's headed.
	So Massachusetts, home of Liz Warren.
	This is a change in the law.
	By the way, before you go into that clip, do you know George Soros today came out for Liz Warren?
	Really now?
	Yeah.
	Then she's the globalist, duh.
	Nice.
	No, it's not a clip.
	I'm just going to read this law to you.
	A person who uses the word bitch directed at another person to accost, annoy, degrade, or demean the other person shall be considered to be a disorderly person in violation of this section and shall be subject to the penalties provided in subsections or demean the other person shall be considered to be a disorderly person A violation of this subsection may be reported by the person to whom the offensive language was directed at or by any witness to such incident.
	Can you believe that?
	What?
	Yes, you can no longer use the word bitch or if this passes.
	So I guess they are expecting Warren to win the nomination.
	And there it is.
	It's preemptive.
	Exactly right.
	Preemptive.
	Well, that is it for just another episode of your best podcast in the universe.
	Let me just say just another one.
	We've been doing it for 12 years, but you know we'll be back to do yet another one.
	12 plus 1.
	12 plus 1 it is.
	Thanks again, everybody.
	We wouldn't be here without you, and you wouldn't be here without us.
	It's a match made in heaven.
	And thank you, John.
	Well, and thank you, Adam.
	Yeah.
	I know you don't like that kind of stuff, but I mean it, so...
	Coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas.
	We are the capital of the drone, Star State.
	You'll find us in FEMA Region No.
	6 on all the governmental maps.
	Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA until Thursday.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's, you know, there's actually not even any smoke around here, so what can I say?
	There is a little breeze, though.
	That's kind of nice.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Coming up, the grumpy old Ben's 33.
	They'll be talking about guns.
	And end-of-show mixes from Chris Wilson, Jesse Coy, Nelson.
	Until Thursday, everybody, adios mofos and such!
	Woe to you, O Gitmo Nation, for the M5M sends fake news with wrath.
	Because they know their time is short.
	Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the goat.
	But it is a magic number.
	Its number is thirty-three.
	I heard a goat.
	My mind was blank.
	I needed time to think to get the beverage from my mind.
