That was going to be Entertainer of the Decade!
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, November 7th, 2019.
This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation media assassination episode 1191.
This is no agenda.
Vaping my life away.
And broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here at 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 no shooting today.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Oh, is this your breaking news?
Hey!
No shooting.
No shooting today.
Yeah, that was a weird one.
Up in your neck of the woods, seeing as we don't have all the normal information.
We don't know the shooter's name.
We have no manifesto.
No, they have the shooter's name.
Oh, they do have the shooter's name.
Yeah, that's been reviewed.
That was yesterday.
Oh, okay.
I just thought the coverage was different.
The coverage was weird, and I'll tell you why.
I have some clips.
Oh, wait.
Before you start, I want to tease something.
I have a review today of possibly the best OTG phone yet.
Oh, jeez.
This is turning into the phone review show.
Are you going to do an unboxing?
I'm perplexed at your response.
We are helping people with their mental sanity.
And he was like, look, they've got a connector at the bottom.
Well, you're going to participate like a good doobie, because this is very important.
We have a phone that finally solves your problems.
Solves nothing.
Jeez.
All right, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have interrupted your flow.
Because everyone's going to be on pins and needles.
Okay.
For this fabulous tease.
The art of the tease, my friend.
That's how it goes.
All right.
We reset.
Good.
Gee, tell me about the shooting.
Okay, so there was this shooting.
So I wake up.
It's about nine.
And I wake up and there's all this reporting going on.
Live coverage of this chasing around town.
There's choppers.
Mm-hmm.
They're going from house to house.
A bunch of SWAT teams come out, and they're surrounding somebody's house.
They say it might be the kids, and then they go surround a neighbor's house.
Now, you're seeing all this happen?
This is out of your window?
No, no.
This is on the TV. Oh, okay.
All right.
Good.
And it's all they said, because I'm not around there.
I mean, this is the local coverage, but they have it streaming, so I'm watching all of it.
And this is about 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock.
It goes on to about, I don't know, 10, 30, 11 hours.
But meanwhile, the incident took place at 7.30, slightly before school, and it took place outside of the class where there's gun detectors and things, I suppose.
Maybe, maybe not.
But what happened was this kid brought a.45, and apparently it was a six-shooter, a revolver.
Gee, it's not automatic and not scary-looking.
We can't ban it.
What are we going to do?
Yeah, it's not scary.
And somebody mentioned that he took very careful count.
So he shoots off five rounds into five nearby kids and then shoots himself in the head.
Now, this all happens right at the beginning.
Right.
So we have five kids shot and a guy who shot himself in the head.
Hours later, they're looking for this guy.
By running around town.
And meanwhile, the reports are all written up, and they're on Twitter.
Here's what we know.
The gunman shot himself, and five people are in the hospital, and he's in the hospital where he later died.
And then now there's been coverage after that was, oh, where's this manifesto?
Manifesto.
We can't find a manifesto.
I know.
I was so disappointed.
I want a manifesto.
It's like, now everyone has to have a manifesto.
But wait, wait.
This kid wasn't white, I think.
Wasn't that the big problem?
They were looking for a white guy?
You saw a picture of him.
They had pictures of him.
He was kind of a...
Not white enough!
I mean, he could pass for white maybe.
It looks like he was a little Japanese.
It was hard to say.
But most of the kids are set as a mixed-race school, so it's not a big deal.
So that's bullcrap, and there's no evidence of any of that.
I think it's just drugs, but nobody wants to talk about that.
Well, no, that's the first question.
Was the kid on any type of antidepressants or other psychotropic drugs?
Question number one!
It goes to Zephyr, by the way.
Uh...
Yeah, you're right.
How many cars?
All right.
Now, don't forget, we've got all the information.
The kid shot himself.
He's there.
And they haul him into the hospital.
So why are they running around town?
So there's something else going on.
So let's start with the...
We're actually seeing something unfolding right now.
We have fire department personnel with bulletproof vests and helmets on.
That's something I've never actually seen here in Santa Clarita before.
But they have their bulletproof vests that say LA County Fire Department on the back of them.
So you're saying fire department, you're talking about rescue personnel are also wearing bulletproof vests and helmets.
Yes.
It's very unusual.
I thought that was actually a police officer, but it's not.
That person has the trademark yellow radio of the fire department personnel typically carried, but they're also, their vest is marked LA County Fire Department.
But right now I'm looking from the ground.
I'm in front of the forum.
It's a newer building on the campus.
It's a performing arts center, so I'm just in the southeast of that building.
And so we're seeing several parents who were able to make their way in here on the grass field just embracing each other, moms embracing each other, fathers embracing the moms.
They have their small children here as well.
But you can imagine, you know, just the amount of heartbreak these parents are going through and just they don't have really much information to go on.
We're getting more units here from other stations as well that are still rushing in.
So it's been sirens and sirens and sirens all morning.
When I first heard the call go out of my house, I thought maybe, you know, this sounds like it could be a training exercise, but it sounded different.
And so you heard outside my window, because I live off of one of the main roads here in Santa Clarita, you heard unit after unit after unit after unit.
Different types of sirens, CHPs, sheriffs.
You heard some from some off-duty police officers because a lot of police officers live here in Santa Clarita.
And so you have a lot of those people who are, you know, in plain clothes, have their vests and tactical gear here helping with the uniformed officers and deputies here at the school.
And so you have a lot of response here in front of the school along the front main driveway here on Centurion Way.
And so, more ambulances coming in right now from the American Medical Response.
I can't tell you how many ambulances have come in.
Since I've been here, I've counted at least 10 to 11 that have rolled through here and then about 4 or 5 that have left.
Okay.
Now, seeing as this was a long clip, and I listened intently, means that you have something to say with it.
Is it possible that there was a drill and a live event at the same time?
Could this be our lucky day?
Well...
I was thinking about what the hell's going on because this all took place within five or six minutes.
He emptied the five rounds and put one in his head.
16 seconds.
The news everywhere.
16 seconds.
It was all over.
It's not even five minutes.
Just dumb.
Yeah.
And it was all caught on video.
They had apparently cameras on this whatever area it was.
But it's an open area.
It's an open area.
And so...
So this was all done within a minute or two.
Yeah.
At 7.30 in the morning.
This other stuff is going on afterwards, and it's like 11 ambulances.
It's funny, though.
They did say 11 ambulances came in and five went out, which is five for the five people that were injured or shot, which was kind of interesting.
And meanwhile, this was the sheriff that's giving this report, and they got the fire department all...
Gussied up in bulletproof vests and people were running around and every agency.
This was unbelievable.
Over-response to an incident that was just like a...
goes on in Oakland daily.
The whole thing was baffling the way they were going on as though they didn't know anything.
Anyway, so I just found the whole thing to be the most...
And it may have been a combination event, and so they said, well, hell, you know, we're here, so let's just spend a few hours going through this, rounding up the kids, making them put their hands in the air, shuffling, bringing the SWAT teams.
They do the drills, and then they have to complete the drill.
I mean, whether it's a live event or not, I'm sure there's something to that.
Here's a shooting.
There's a kid on the street talking about it.
What?
Okay, first of all, can you say and spell your name for us?
Yeah, Adam Eichenseer.
The last name is spelled E-I-C-H-E-N-S-E-H-R. And you're a student here at Soccer Society?
Yeah, I'm a sophomore.
I'm in ASB. Okay, tell me your experience this morning.
Okay, so I was just leaving for school and I was walking through these woods here and I got a text from a couple friends to not go to school because they heard shots and, like, coughs.
At first I didn't believe it because I just thought it was like maybe a generator blew up or something because, you know, you would never think this would happen.
And then I saw, like, coughs.
And so I stopped and I called my mom and she told me to come straight home and so I did.
And all my friends that I've come in contact with are okay as of now.
So you've been in phone and texting contact with your fellow students?
Yeah.
What are they telling you from inside there?
They've been telling us about when they get evacuated by police.
And they've been talking about how many kids have gotten shot or people.
Just making sure everyone else is safe.
Did any of them say that they saw or heard anything?
A lot of people said they heard.
One of my friends said he saw someone reaching into his backpack, but he's not 100% sure.
Did they say that they heard the gunfire?
Yeah, many people said they heard the gunfire, like loud booms.
Alright, so what do we do with this kid?
I don't know.
So the kid says something interesting.
Yeah.
He says, they said it would sound like gunshots, and he says maybe it's just a generator that blew up.
No, did he say generator or transformer?
I think he said transformer.
No, he said generator.
Huh.
What generator blows up and sounds like a gun?
I don't know.
Where do these kids get these ideas?
I'm still waiting for you to tell me that no one died.
I'm on the edge of my seat here.
No, I can't.
I think two people died.
Um...
Let's do this one.
This is another 49-second lament, which is, again, this is where they're brainwashing the kids into believing.
And we're now getting word that there are two patients in critical condition at Henry Mayo Hospital, and there are three en route.
And we are getting word.
I saw a tweet from the sheriff's department, and we had been speaking with Sheriff Villanueva a moment ago who agreed that he thought there were three patients.
But again, with this fog of war, so to speak, it is a very active situation.
Now there are approximately five victims.
So it sounds like there were three that are en route to the hospital, two that are already there in critical.
So there's the possibility that Sheriff Villanueva was referring to the three that are currently being transported.
So the information is going to be very fluid.
We're learning this with you as it's happening.
And it is just crazy.
It's crushing to think that these children are having to go through this day in, day out.
All right.
What is your takeaway?
What are you thinking about this?
Well, the sheriff was wrong about the numbers right away.
The sheriff is no good.
But this day in and day out comment was like, the kids have to go on through this day in and day out.
This is just like a brainwashing.
Let's go to the know-nothing sheriff real quick.
They have to do something, though.
They couldn't make any point about the gun.
It wasn't a good gun for the...
It was a revolver.
For banning guns.
They didn't even talk about the gun in any detail, but when they said it had six bullets, well, how many guns have six bullets besides a six-shooter?
I don't know.
You said it was a.44.
A.45.
That was on the news?
It was a.45?
Yeah.
Well, that's going to be a revolver then.
What can you tell us about what's going on right now in Santa Clarita?
Well, the three victims have been transported and they're receiving treatment right now.
The school is obviously on lockdown.
We've done some evacuations.
We've extended a lockdown to the local elementary schools that are in the area.
We have our full deployment of our personnel on scene.
We're working hand-in-hand.
Our Special Enforcement Bureau, the SWAT team, we're doing searches.
We're following up on all the leads, and we're trying to determine the exact whereabouts of the suspect.
Sheriff, do you know if those victims are, in fact, gunshot victims?
We do know of at least one that is a gunshot victim, yes.
But you don't know about the other two?
Don't know the details, yes.
It's a little bit too early to have the details.
But we'll have that available hopefully within the next hour.
Sheriff, do you suspect there could be other victims, or do you feel confident that that's the number of people directly impacted with the initial shooting there at Saugus?
And I'm not trying to project what the other two injuries are.
I'm just saying, do you feel confident that at the scene, those three are all we're going to find at this point?
Yes, I'm very confident that the worst of it is what we know so far, and then if there are other victims or injuries, it might be just people fleeing and stuff like that.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Wow.
Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah, well, okay, well.
They don't know how to report.
This is the worst.
I mean, this is very poorly covered.
The news media did a piss poor job.
I mean, like you said, the whole thing was over in 18 seconds.
With the shooter there or the gun in his hand.
I mean, it's just beyond me.
But anyway, this is the comments on the drills.
Again, this is...
I think there's a girl, some girl that was bitching about the whole situation.
Now, has the school been doing drills, shooter drills, throughout the year?
Yeah, they do multiple drills.
And I always said, oh, I hate that this is the new normal.
But I see why now.
Do kids know what to do in an assault like this?
Yes.
They know.
What are they supposed to do?
Hide, shelter in place, or run if you can.
What do you understand as to what you're supposed to do?
I know if you're in a classroom, you should just stay if there's a teacher.
And if you're already outside and really close to an exit, you should try and run.
But if you're not close to an exit, you should duck into the nearest class.
So this is what this school is teaching you?
Yes, yeah.
Yes.
These are the training classes you guys have had.
Yeah.
Yeah, like lockdown drills and stuff.
Lockdown drills.
Yeah.
So what are you guys going to do now?
Well, I have to go to work.
It's just, I don't know.
We don't know.
We're just going to take it minute by minute, I guess.
That's the mom, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The one thing I thought was interesting also was that if you're in the hall, you just duck into a room.
Well, if there's a lockdown drill, they lock all the doors.
You'll be pounding on the door trying to get in.
I don't think the kid paid attention in drill class.
I don't know.
You try to get out or you go in.
What would you do if you're having these drill classes constantly?
They're all fake.
You get very jaded.
Yeah, you don't pay attention.
This is the problem.
I think this is what they're trying to do there.
Anyway, the whole thing was a joke.
I'm sorry about the kids that get shot, but we don't have the manifesto.
We don't know anything, and they can't figure out why the guy did it.
It doesn't always have to be a manifesto.
It has to be a manifesto now.
The rules.
I think if there's no manifesto, we have to double-check on the medication.
I think that's the number one thing.
You know, there was a kid in, before we get back to the important news, there was a kid in Holland, and his parents kept taking him to the emergency room, emergency ward, to the psych ward, because he was freaking out, he was acting really weird, and twice they were turned away, and they said, no, this is just the normal first side effects of his ADHD medication.
And he wound up killing two girls!
So, you know, it's like, who the hell knows?
You got to be careful with this stuff.
So there was, this was the news.
Of course, we had the impeachment inquiry hearing with the former ambassador to Ukraine.
That was in the news.
Over in Euroland, though, quite a different scene as Randy Andy.
Prince Andrew had a sit-down interview with the BBC, an hour-long interview about his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.
Did you see any of this?
Because it was good.
I watched a bit of it.
They had some excerpts.
I wasn't going to sit down and watch the whole thing.
I figured you would.
Yeah, that's what we do here at the No Agenda Show.
And of course, the stuff they pull out for the mainstream and it winds up on YouTube is all carefully selected.
There's a lot more interesting stuff that he said.
I'm sure there's some great stuff that he said.
And I'm anxious to hear it.
And there was a huge revelation in this interview, almost offhandedly.
So we'll start with...
I just love all these.
I mean, his denial, of course, I have that clip.
Everyone saw that clip.
But it's more interesting to hear how Prince Andrew speaks of Jeffrey Epstein and what initially attracted him to this international man of finance mystery.
Quite often, if I was in the United States and doing things, and if he wasn't there, he would say, well, why don't you come and use my houses?
So I said, that's very kind.
Thank you very much indeed.
But it would be a considerable stretch to say that he was a very, very close friend.
But he had the most extraordinary ability to bring extraordinary people together.
And that's the bit that I remember, is going to the dinner parties where you would meet academics, politicians, people from the United Nations.
I mean, it was a cosmopolitan group of what I would describe as U.S. eminence.
U.S. eminence.
Mmm.
Yum.
Can't wait to get lists and lists of names of the U.S. eminence.
But really, it wasn't really his friend, you see.
Yeah, he stayed at the castle, but he wasn't really the main guest.
He was your guest as well.
In 2000, Epstein was a guest at Windsor Castle and at Sandringham.
He was brought right into the heart of the royal family at your invitation.
But...
Certainly at my invitation, not at the royal family's invitation, but remember that it was his girlfriend that was the key element in this.
He was the, as it were, plus one to some extent.
It was Ghislaine.
She was my friend.
Ghislaine was the one.
Jeffrey Epstein was just her plus one.
What did I know?
Was it a plus one, to some extent, in that aspect?
You threw a birthday party.
Does the palace send out invites with a plus one on it?
Plus one.
Whoever you want, just plus one at the door, you're good to go, old chap.
It was the plus one, to some extent, in that aspect.
Am I right in thinking you threw a birthday party for Epstein's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, at Sandringham?
No, it was a shooting weekend.
A shooting weekend?
Just a straightforward shooting weekend.
It was nothing special.
Just a shooting weekend.
John, when are we having another one of our straightforward shooting weekends?
Just you and me and a couple of pals.
We've got an own shoot.
It's under schedule.
But during these times that he was a guest at Windsor Castle at Sandringham, the shooting weekend...
We now know that he was and had been procuring young girls for sex trafficking.
Uh-oh.
We know that.
At the time, there was no indication to me or anybody else that that was what he was doing.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's a clear denial.
Now, the problem is there's so much evidence...
Of his involvement with Epstein after the conviction in New York.
And of course we have the famous picture of the two of them having a stroll in Central Park.
Very inconvenient.
Especially if you say, you know, he wasn't really my best friend.
It was the dinner parties and he wasn't even there.
I was just using one of his houses.
It was kind of like a big train station.
People in and out.
I don't know what was going on.
I was just using that.
It was perfect.
So how do you explain the walk in the park?
Oh, a very simple explanation for that, of course!
Why?
Why were you staying with a convicted sex offender?
Right.
I have always, ever since this has happened, and since this has become, as it were, public knowledge that I was there, I've questioned myself as to why did I go, what was I doing, and was it the right thing to do?
Now, I went there with the sole purpose of saying to him that because he had been convicted, it was inappropriate for us to be seen together.
Oh, he was going to break up with him.
And I had a number of people counsel me in both directions, either to go and see him or not to go and see him.
And I took the judgment call that because this was serious, and I felt that doing it over the telephone was the chicken's way of doing it.
I don't break up with my boyfriends over the telephone.
I'm no chicken.
I had to go and see him and talk to him.
Yes.
Wait a minute.
Stop a second.
Didn't he just say he wasn't even friends with the guy?
He had to break up with him.
It was inappropriate.
Inappropriate, you see.
And so he wanted to let him down easily.
So he wanted to do it face to face with a stroll in the park.
And I went to see him, and I was doing a number of other things in New York at the time, and we had an opportunity to go for a walk in the park, and that was the conversation, coincidentally, that was photographed, which was when I said to him, I said, look, because of what has happened...
Can you believe it?
The picture that they have of them in the park was the actual breakup talk.
I don't think it is appropriate that we should remain in contact.
And by mutual agreement during that walk in the park, we decided that we would part company and I left, I think it was the next day.
And to this day, I never had any contact with him from that day forward.
Oh, yes.
Okay, so the big new reveal is...
Yes, go ahead.
Well, I was going to say, you listened to the whole thing.
What did you say about the girl that he was snuggling up against?
Oh, I'm getting there.
Who came out and publicly said that she slept with him at least three times.
Yeah, well, we're getting there.
That's part of the big reveal.
Now, here's the clip.
So you never heard any of those.
Here's the clip that everybody heard about him.
Well, he's such a good guy.
Everyone knows he's honorable.
And this is why he just couldn't go and just break up over the phone.
He had to do it in person.
At the end of the day.
At the end of the day.
With the benefit of all the hindsight that one could have, it was definitely the wrong thing to do.
But at the time, I felt it was the honourable and right thing to do.
And I admit fully that my judgment was probably coloured by my tendency to be too honourable.
That's just the way it is.
It's just the way it is.
I'm too honorable, you see.
That's a beauty.
So, Virginia Roberts, this is the one that he's in the picture with, which the Buckingham Palace has said that this picture is obviously photoshopped, because that could never be.
And so, you know, the BBC interviewer, she's very well informed, she goes through, but you were in Tramps, and it's funny to hear them talking about Tramps.
This is a pretty famous nightclub in London, Tramps, double M, Tramps.
And they're dancing with her, and you were sweating, and everyone saw you, and then there's a picture, and he's just like, no, no, no, that's just not possible.
In fact, in fact, this is where we learn something very important, and important, he is going to use something to prove his innocence, but at the same time, It proves exactly who, or should I say, what he is.
I have no recollection of ever meeting or being in the company or the presence.
So you're absolutely sure that you're at home on the 10th of March?
She was very specific about that night.
She described dancing with you, and you profusely sweating, and that she went on to have baths, possibly...
There's a slight problem with the sweating, because I have a peculiar medical condition, which is that I don't sweat.
Well, I didn't sweat at the time, and that was...
He's a reptile!
Another non-sweating reptile!
Well, David Icke has been saying that the royal families consist of reptiles for years.
Right, but what are the chances that Barack Obama doesn't sweat, Hillary Clinton doesn't sweat, Prince Andrew doesn't sweat?
Yeah, it's weird.
Rep-tiles.
He says he didn't sweat then.
Yeah, well, I'll play the rest of it.
He sweat now!
...medical condition, which is that I don't sweat, or I didn't sweat at the time, and that was, oh, actually, yes, I didn't sweat at the time, because I... Stop, stop, stop it again.
...had suffered what I would have...
Do these reptiles have a way of all of a sudden starting to sweat?
Is there an operation that we're unfamiliar with?
No, I think they never sweat.
He says he didn't sweat at the time.
Right.
Well, he's implying that he sweats now.
Well, you're making me stop it, but he's about to explain the name of the condition.
No, he said it.
We heard it already.
Reptilitis.
Okay, we didn't hear that.
But I think what happens is these guys, they don't sweat until it's time to shed the skin.
So then, they get all profusely...
Oh, because the sweat helps get the skin to slide off.
Yes, it slides off.
Exactly.
Because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War when I was shot at.
Oh.
And I simply...
It was almost impossible for me to sweat.
And it's only because I have done a number of things in the recent past Yeah, like, shed my skin!
But I'm starting to be able to do that again, so I'm afraid to say that there's a medical condition that says that I didn't do it, so therefore...
Anyway, that's his big proof.
It couldn't have been me!
I don't sweat!
I don't sweat!
It can't be me!
Stop with these baseless allegations!
Oh, beautiful.
Beautiful.
Hey, another two animated no agendas over the weekend?
Yeah, I saw them.
Jeez.
I love them.
She's cranking them out.
She's going to burn herself out.
I hope not.
Yeah, she should pace herself.
I agree.
You know what's happening?
Everyone's like, I love this segment!
Do this!
I love it when she just takes something from the current show.
She gets it.
She knows what to do.
No, she's got to stop doing what you vote.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would talk to her.
Oh, very good.
Very good.
Very good.
And I love seeing the Give It Up for Raven, but for the Netflix special, that's an evergreen we can put in any time, or series I should say.
I think the topical stuff really works.
You could put that Adam Schiff and the non-career, non-professional, you could put that on South Park today.
Yeah.
Very South Park-ian.
South Park-ish.
It's Park-ish.
South Park-ish.
All right, well, speaking of such, of course, we spent the time, I spent the time, I'm sure you did too, watching Maria Yakonovich, Yakonovich, the former ambassador to Ukraine, testifying.
It's like, oh my God.
I'm so tired of this.
Before we get there, I want to play...
We don't play too much of Scott Adams, but he had a theory.
He doesn't show up in my timeline anymore, so I keep forgetting to even check him out.
Thanks, Twitter.
Oh, Dave, Twitter.
He's been shadowbanned from you.
Oh, totally.
Of course.
And we follow each other.
So why should we see each other's tweets makes no sense.
Yeah, no, they'd rather have a look at somebody else's tweets.
Yeah.
So he has this theory, and I cut this down because his Periscope things, which are very entertaining, and he's got his new book out, which he's promoting incessantly.
Oh, yeah.
Loser Think?
Loser Think.
Have you read it yet?
I've got it.
I've got a copy, but I haven't read the whole thing yet.
It's about dummies in the society.
Yeah.
But listen to this, and it's just two clips.
It kind of explains something, I think.
At least we should have this in the back of our minds.
Do you want me to start?
Yes.
It is the complete, let's say, collapsing of serious politics and entertainment.
They're no longer separate.
Yeah, agreed.
This president has merged entertainment and politics.
Now before you say, that's a bad idea, he's been doing it for a while and it works really well.
What do we always say on this show?
Politics is show business for ugly people.
He's the first person smart enough to do it.
Now, other leaders, of course, have put on spectacles.
Let's take the British royal family, where they have a wedding, for example, big spectacle.
So it's very common for governments to put on a show.
Whether it's the Romans throwing Christians to the lions, whatever it is, military parades, leaders put on shows.
This particular leader, President Trump, is basically putting on a wrestling match show, and people are still treating it like it's not a show.
If you were to look at Trump's tweets through the filter of government, And you just say, alright, this is the government I'm watching.
Let's see what the government is doing.
Oh, it looks like the leader of the government sent this tweet.
Let's see what it says.
The leader of the government just tweeted some trash talk to somebody who was testifying to Congress while she was testifying to Congress.
And she's a good person who's served the country loyally for many years.
Rah!
Rah!
Because that's the government filter.
Now let me move you over to the other filter, you know, the one that's actually happening, not the one that's ridiculous.
Here's the other filter.
Entertainment and government have merged.
We have a president who understands that because he created it.
He's the one who merged the entertainment.
He's the one who puts on the rallies.
He's the one that tweets funny things.
He tweets memes.
He's putting on a show.
I'm glad to see that Scott finally figured out what we've been doing for these past 12 years.
He doesn't listen to this show.
But he's got another little angle to it, which I think is kind of cute.
So let's play part two.
He's putting on a show.
Was there a better show?
Yesterday.
Then the president tweeting trash talk to this about the hearings while they were happening.
No.
No.
You can pretend to be offended by that all day long.
And I will consider you part of the show.
So all the people who were...
I'm so offended!
I'm offended!
I'm so offended!
I do not consider you to be observers who are offended, because you're not.
You're observers.
But it's more like you're part of the show.
The thing that people who are offended and commenting on it don't realize is that they're part of the show.
I'm sorry, you're part of the entertainment.
Literally.
I literally consumed your comments as entertainment.
I didn't read it for news, because it doesn't really have any news value that I care about.
But I read it.
Why is it that I consumed stories about the people who were terribly offended at the president?
Why was I consuming that at all?
Why did I pay attention?
For knowledge?
Nope.
I didn't gain any knowledge.
Nothing I care about.
Was it for entertainment?
Yeah, it was.
That's an interesting perspective.
Of course, that's what we know, but hearing it like that, that may actually fuel a lot of this hatred of the media towards the president, because for years, that's been their job, is to entertainmentize people.
I like that.
Entertainment ties.
Entertainment ties.
Well, you know, Saturday Night Live, actually I thought there was a repeat on last night so we didn't watch, but this morning I saw that they had done a new show.
They totally get it.
Did you see the open?
No, I did not watch it.
I don't watch it on Saturday Night Live.
Yeah, it's on late here.
I'll play the first minute or so.
They understood it very well.
This week, 13 million Americans tuned in to watch the impeachment hearings as multiple officials testified against President Trump.
But some complained the hearings were lacking in pizazz, dull, and not the masked singer.
So to make sure people are paying attention, we now present the hearings in a way that underscores how scandalous these revelations really are.
This is Days of Our Impeachment.
Where the only thing at stake is democracy.
Starring Adam Schiff.
Excitement, emotion, and none of it from me.
Cross-examiner with a mysterious brain injury, Jim Joy.
Anyway, so they do it like Days of Our Lives.
And they totally play with the feigning a feint in the background when Bill Barr shows up.
I mean, they understand that it's completely entertainment, but that's what the media themselves were saying.
Like, it wasn't snappy enough.
There was nothing that really caught anyone's attention.
And so I guess they had to then make up stuff on all sides of the spectrum.
Well, that's where Trump comes in when he started tweeting about the woman who wouldn't have known that she was being tweeted about until Schiff brought it up during the discussion.
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
The leader of the free world is doing this to you.
And meanwhile, there is a significant portion of the United States public that gets it, that is in on the deal.
I sure as hell hope something good is happening.
Are you taking care of something while you're doing this sideshow, President?
That would be nice.
Well, he seems to be, but it seems also besides the point.
Yeah, true, true.
But when he says, the thing that I liked about Scott's little theory is that, which is our theory, Is that the part that we didn't consider as much, I don't think, although I think we sensed it, which is that these people that get into the middle of the street and scream, no!
That woman in the green, for example, and all the rest of these maniacs.
Yes, we know her well.
That is definitely part of the entertainment package.
It's part of the show, of course.
Part of the package.
It's the obligatory audience shot, only it makes sense.
It's true.
If you compressed everything that's happened in the past three years and pulled out all those things, you'd see it as a show.
You'd see the story arc, everything.
Sometimes there's too many cliffhangers that don't pan out.
I remember when we found out who actually shot JR, it was kind of a letdown.
Well, if you ever remember watching The Sopranos, they left so many loose ends, it was horrible.
We need someone to die and come back, and it was all a dream.
We need that sequence somehow.
I'm not sure how we do it.
Yeah.
So there was some other...
I presume you have nothing from the impeachment.
I do have one from the day before, though, because I wanted to play this.
This is Jim Jordan going after this.
This is the end of it, where Taylor...
Uh, Ambassador Taylor pretty much says that he doesn't know anything and that everything he got was from hearsay from people he talked to.
Sometimes that's better than direct evidence, I'll have you know.
Well, yeah, according to the one guy.
Just so you, Quigley, yeah, just so you know.
But this is so stupid and it's like, it's befuddling.
This is Jordan versus Taylor.
Ambassador, you weren't on the call, were you?
You didn't listen on President Trump's call and President Zelensky's call?
I did not.
You've never talked with Chief of Staff Mulvaney?
I never did.
You never met the President?
That's correct.
He had three meetings again with Zelensky and it didn't come up.
And two of those they had never heard about as far as I know.
There was no reason for it to come up.
And President Zelensky never made an announcement.
This is what I can't believe.
And you're their star witness.
You're their first witness.
You're the guy based on this, based on...
I mean, I've seen church prayer chains that are easier to understand than this.
Ambassador Taylor recalls that Mr.
Morrison told...
Now, again, this is I hereby swear and affirm from Gordon Sondland.
Ambassador Taylor recalls that Mr.
Morrison told Ambassador Taylor that I told Mr.
Morrison that I conveyed this message to Mr.
Yarmouk on September 1st, 20th.
This all happens, by the way.
This all happens, by the way, in Warsaw, where Vice President Pence meets with President Zelensky.
And guess what?
They didn't talk about any linkage either.
The time of the gentleman has expired.
Ambassador Taylor, would you like to respond?
The only response...
I have two responses, Mr.
Chairman.
Thank you.
And Mr.
Jordan, glad to take those questions.
Let me just say that I don't consider myself a star witness for...
They do.
I don't.
I'm responding to your questions.
Don't interrupt the witness.
I think I was clear about I'm not here to take one.
I've never heard.
I've watched a lot of C-SPAN.
Never or rarely that I can recall I've ever heard the chairman go, don't interrupt the witness.
Responding to your question, don't interrupt the witness.
I think I was clear about I'm not here to take one side or the other or to advocate any particular outcomes.
So let me just restate that.
Second thing is that my understanding is only coming from people that I talk to.
We got that.
We got that.
And I think this clarification from Ambassador Sondland was because he said he didn't remember this in his first deposition.
So he wanted to kind of clarify.
But I think, Mr.
Jordan, the way I read this, he remembers it the same way I do.
Yeah, and it's real clear, right?
It's very clear to me.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ambassador Taylor.
We went over this hearing on Thursday, didn't we?
Yeah, I didn't have that clip, though.
Oh, okay.
You want it for the record?
I want to be on the record with that clip.
Okay, good.
Well...
Here's something about yesterday.
This is from CBS. I actually have the whole complete report, which is too long to play.
No, you've been playing long clips this morning.
If you play, well no, one of them was only two minutes.
But if you play the beginning of this clip, just play the beginning of the long clip, the 407, which is the complete, CBS took the whole show.
Paris is on fire.
Their bombings are going on.
Every country in the world, there's all kinds of things going on, but no, no.
We've got Brexit.
We've got Paris burning.
We have 23 people killed in Bolivia.
Firebombs in Hong Kong?
Stop the presses!
We've got some FSOs!
FSOs have priority.
Just play the beginning impeachment report complete on CBS and just listen to the beginning of it.
And by the way, it's extremely lopsided.
And it's just like the intelligence community put this together more.
They're just befuddled by why they can't get rid of this guy.
But just play it.
You start to hear right off the bat how it's a twisted report.
Good evening and thank you for joining us on this extraordinary night in U.S. history.
President Trump tonight is accused of witness intimidation and now faces another possible impeachment charge.
Never before has a president publicly attacked an impeachment witness at the moment they were testifying, as Mr.
Trump did today on Twitter.
It came during chilling testimony from Marie Yovanovitch.
The highly respected diplomat and anti-corruption crusader told Congress she felt threatened and intimidated by President Trump.
Yovanovitch said she was removed from her post in Ukraine after being, quote, kneecapped by a shadowy smear campaign.
Kneecap the bitch!
Like, he's Tony Soprano, now he's kneecapping people.
Oh, brother.
It's so stupid.
Everything is based on a basic lie of the order of what was said on this call.
And it's just been reshuffled, and we're done.
So, okay, now let's just move on and let's prove our point.
No, they can't do that.
They can't bring themselves to just ending this fiasco.
No, but for stupid people it's working.
Because they don't want to see Trump get re-elected.
No, I understand.
So they will do anything, go to any...
We've got to write down who the worst were.
You know, for the trials.
For the Nuremberg trial.
We have to have a list.
We need a list.
We need a list.
Okay, we'd have the worst.
Let's do it like a wine classification.
The five growths of Bordeaux.
So you have your first Grand Cru, premier Grand Cru, which is right at the top.
The Chateau du Cam is right there.
Well, let's play this other thing.
This was at the end of this long four-minute one that you cut off.
Yes.
And they bring in Margaret Brennan, and then you get to hear this.
And Margaret joins us now.
Margaret, I want to get to some breaking news tonight, because we're learning about some testimony that was behind closed doors today about David Holmes' deposition.
What have we learned?
Yes, this is the American diplomat who was in Ukraine and had first-hand knowledge.
He overheard a phone call between Gordon Sunland, the U.S. ambassador to the EU, and President Trump.
It happened on July 26 at a restaurant in Ukraine, immediately after the ambassador had met with Ukrainian officials.
And I'm looking now at notes here from a copy of Holmes' testimony that was obtained by CBS News.
And according to what he said, the president was speaking so loudly, Sondland had to hold the phone away from him.
The president was talking so loudly.
The president was so loud.
And so that is how Holmes heard the details of this conversation.
He heard the president ask, will he do the investigation?
To which Sondland replied, he will do anything you ask.
He was speaking about the president of Ukraine doing anything you ask.
So this is now someone who heard this proposed deal essentially being floated.
This is so significant, and I spoke to a source who had been in the room for the deposition, and this was behind closed doors, not in an open hearing like Marie Yovanovitch today.
And that source told me that this presents not only new problems for the president, but for Gordon Sondland, the ambassador, who testifies next week, and that at a minimum he may need to turn on the president or potentially face jail time.
That is big news, Margaret.
Thank you.
Now, we're kind of in it, so I know what's going on when I hear this report.
But anyone else, it's like, what?
And there's also a lot of Vanovichvich names.
The American public is very bored with this.
And I think this second, this call that the ambassador overheard, someone else had overheard it, I think that's why Trump made his move in the big show business spectacle that this is.
The White House has now released a memo between President Trump and President Zelensky that occurred on April 21st.
It was about 16 minutes long.
And in this call, President Trump extends an invitation to President Zelensky.
According to the memo, he said that when you're settled in and ready, I'd like to invite you to the White House.
We'll have a lot of things to talk about, but we're with you all the way.
President Zelensky then accepts the invitation.
And says he looks forward to the visit.
Zelensky also extended an invitation to the president to visit the Ukraine for his inauguration.
Now, this is important because, of course, the president has been saying that there has been no quid pro quo in his dealings with Ukraine.
In this exchange, he was extending an invitation to Zelensky without any conditions on it.
And of course, they're releasing this memo of the phone call just as the House Intel hearing gets underway.
So we will continue to read through this text and also monitor the hearing.
I believe Chairman Schiff is still in his opening statement, and we'll bring you the latest as we have it, guys.
I mean, seriously, it really is a waste of time at this point.
There's just nothing going on.
This is not an impeachment hearing.
This is an inquiry.
The thing that I found interesting, I'm watching the Maria Yovanovitch...
And looking at her background, you know, she's Russian and she moved to Canada.
So she didn't grow up in the United States.
I think she moved to the States when she was 18.
And there's all just a whole bunch of things about that period when she was in Russia in Ukraine and the timing of it.
And I had my thoughts kind of right away.
Just look at her.
I mean, you look at her.
What do you if she if you didn't know she was working for the State Department?
What would you think?
Spook!
Spook, of course.
It's like she has all the hallmarks of a KGB agent.
But no, no, that doesn't make all that much sense.
But then I heard, and I didn't clip this, She was testifying that, well, you know, Mike Pompeo, he did initially defend me inside the State Department.
He was trying to protect me, and she felt appreciative of that.
I'm like, now why would Mike Pompeo do that?
Well, that's what you do with your fellow agents.
And so we go to Steve Pachanek, who has pegged this and unravels the storied background of Maria Yovanovitch.
She was born in Russia.
Now, what's unusual about that?
Nothing.
She was born in Russia, speaks perfect Russian, undoubtedly, and parents went to Canada first.
They didn't come to the United States, so they came to Canada.
Meaning the U.S. didn't accept them initially.
Then they came to the United States and she went to a very private elite school, what's called the Episcopalian, the Kent School in Connecticut, which is near Hotchkiss.
And Hotchkiss was near Lakeville.
I knew all about it.
But these are the elite private schools that really recruit some of the top students for their various languages and different cultures.
And if you look at their video, it sounds great and, you know, it has all the right words and the right attitudes in terms of diversity.
But what makes Maria really different and unusual is she was not naturalized.
She was 18.
Then she came and took a foreign service exam.
I don't buy that.
And the reason I don't buy that, I happen to know that if you are a Russian female and you come to the United States, the first agency that would really like to help you and your parents, albeit their Russian parents, is none other than the CIA. And why is that?
Because the CIA... Needs to have people who were born in that culture and in that particular area.
The Russian speakers who are acquired Russian here in the United States are not as good as the native speakers who are Russian speakers.
And in fact, I would suspect that Maria Yanovitch or whatever she wants to call herself as minister, ambassador or ambassador is really a CIA operative from the very beginning because the Kent School was a feeding school.
From Connecticut, like Hotchkiss was, like Yale, into the CIA. And then as we provide, we in the political part of the State Department, we provide cover for the agency, albeit its ambassadors.
So in effect, they have two jobs for the price of one.
Spot the spook.
Spot the spook.
Everybody wants to spot the spook.
It's really too bad that so many of the great conspiracy theorists are conservatives and Republicans.
I'd like to question Melania.
Doesn't she seem like the perfect Russian spy?
Like the mole on the inside?
No one ever talks about that.
She has all the earmarks.
Totally!
All of it!
And the Russian spooks are the ones that are usually even prettier.
Our spooks aren't as pretty as the Russians.
I think we have a more wholesome looking spook.
No, but the Russian spooks, they have an edge to them.
Yeah.
Danger, you know, like, oh, she could kill me, but I think I want to have sex with her.
It's one of those...
It's just like that.
It's just like that.
Let me see, what else was going on with the impeachment?
From the trial itself, or the trial, from the testimony itself, not much.
There has been a lot of chatter going on.
Oh yes, now this is interesting.
It is from my beat from the thousands of sealed indictments, so take this with the truth and timing from whence it cometh, from Joe DeGeneva.
Once again, on Lou Dobbs' show, Lou Dobbs, I think, has really put all reputation he still has left into Victoria Tornson and Joe DeGeneva, the husband-wife lawyer team, because he has them on all the time.
Glenn Beck was all over this too.
And Glenn Beck, if there's anyone who's an authority in alternative media on George Soros, it's Glenn Beck.
He's the guy that had just had Soros in the middle of the blackboard and would just be drawing this show after show after show.
But there is something to be said for George Soros' involvement in Ukraine and all the things that are going on around Ukraine through his non-profits, and this was brought up by DeGeneva, and it has some interesting data points.
George Kent had pressured Ukrainian prosecutors to back off an investigation into ANTAC, the Anti-Corruption Action Center that George Soros Group has sponsored as such.
This is a complicated deal here, and it seems that he wanted to keep an investigation of Ukrainian corruption With limits on it, even as he answered questions today.
Your thoughts, Joe?
Well, there's no doubt that George Soros controls a very large part of the career foreign service of the United States State Department.
He also controls the activities of FBI agents overseas who work for NGOs, work with NGOs.
That was very evident in Ukraine.
And I think this is true.
There's a lot of NGOs that are used as cover for spies.
In fact, we're pretty good at it.
Putin kicked all NGOs out of Russia after it turned out that we had our spies in these non-governmental organizations.
So I think that's a real possibility.
And Kent was part of that.
He was a very big protector of Soros.
His testimony today showed this kind of stern sort of discomfort with not being included in certain discussions.
But the truth is, George Soros had a daily opportunity to tell the State Department through Victoria Nuland what to do in Ukraine.
And he ran it.
Soros ran it.
He corrupted FBI officials.
He corrupted Foreign Service officers.
And the bottom line is this.
George Soros wants to run Ukraine, and he's doing everything he can to use every lever of the United States government to make that happen.
For business interests, not for good government business.
His organization is not anti-corruption.
It's anti-competitor.
It goes after people who compete with George Soros.
Sounds right to me.
Well, but what are they competing with?
What George Soros entity...
Are we talking about business interest-wise?
I don't know what he's invested in, but you would have to think that if all his buddies, including Vicky Newlander over there, creating and overthrowing the government, putting the people in that we want, George wants, I don't know.
He has all kinds of investment interests, and then he has his little NGOs, the anti-corruption group, and they go after his competitors, maybe after Russians, maybe after other oil companies.
I'm not buying this completely because for one thing, I don't know what his competitors do or what he does supposedly.
I mean, I know he's a massive currency and stock trader.
Mm-hmm.
Which is one thing, but what business, he's not like, I mean, everyone's not like Warren Buffett, where they, you know, buy these companies and sit on them and just amass a fortune just by doing that.
That's very rare.
There's not that many investors that do that.
He sort of seems to me just to be a troublemaker.
It looks like he has at least $1 billion investment in, ooh, $1 billion.
I'm just, because it's interesting I started to look it up.
Let me see.
The Ukrainian Redevelopment Fund.
So that's a billion dollar fund to redevelop Ukraine.
I mean, you know.
Yeah, but that's who competes with that.
I don't know.
That's just a corrupt operation.
I mean, if you take over like a government, what amounts to a government entity, that's different, I think, than ruining its competitors.
There's no competitors.
I'm just reading headlines.
From 2015, George Soros has long called for the West to pump billions into Ukraine.
Now he says he's ready to walk the talk.
So I'm sure he wanted that to go the way he wanted.
Anyone would do that.
Yeah.
Especially if you can control a higher echelon.
Of course.
And that was 2015.
Kind of convenient.
And then you can just...
Yeah, very convenient.
And then you can just kind of skim off millions and millions.
Or more.
Yeah.
The other kind of exciting news that...
And I'm being very demure about it because I don't believe any of this.
I've been around long enough to no longer be too jitty about thousands of sealed indictments.
And even the Attorney General of the United States, who seems to be ready to go after who he has identified as the resistance, kind of barely excites me anymore.
Unfortunately, just in the past few years, we have seen these conflicts take on an entirely new character.
Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called the resistance.
Hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
You gotta back it up when he says character.
Back it up.
Start the whole clip over.
And start to think that he actually sounds a little bit like a sped up Jill Abramson.
With a super fry?
Almost vocal fry.
Light fry.
Light fry.
Okay.
All right.
I'll keep that in mind.
And this one says character.
It sounds just like the way she'd pronounce it.
Right.
She would say character.
Character.
Okay.
Unfortunately, just in the past few years, we have seen these conflicts take on an entirely new character.
Character.
You're right.
A little fast.
A little fast.
If he lowered his voice an octave and dragged it out, he'd be a chick.
Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called the resistance.
And they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch and his administration.
The fact of the matter is that in waging a scorched earth No holds barred war of resistance against this administration.
It is the left that is engaged in the systematic shredding of norms and undermining the rule of law.
Big talk.
We shall see.
We shall see.
We're waiting.
Yeah, nothing.
We're waiting.
It's bullcrap.
Well, how does it feel?
Yeah, how does it feel to be dragged from your home and to the black van you're from?
Like Roger Stone.
Ah yes, we knew the jingle would come in handy again someday.
Roger Stone.
Guilty, all seven counts.
Yeah, I have the CBS rundown if you want to hear it from the CIA. Yeah, I do.
I do.
Hold on a second.
Let me go to...
What is it called?
Stone?
Roger Stone.
Roger Stone rundown.
A somber-looking Roger Stone, who for years claimed his innocence, left court without saying a word.
The long-time confidant of President Trump was found guilty of five counts of lying to Congress, one count of witness tampering, and one count of obstruction.
According to prosecutors, Stone lied to protect the President.
Mr.
Trump...
Is this Begay's?
Yep.
Yeah, I thought I heard my buddy who's a little consummated.
Responded on Twitter.
So they now convict Roger Stone of lying.
What about all the others?
Didn't they lie?
While an informal advisor to the Trump campaign, Stone boasted that he was in contact with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
I actually have...
Communicated with Assange.
But he denied ever telling Mr.
Trump that WikiLeaks was going to release thousands of emails harmful to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Can I ask you, did you have any interactions with President Trump about those WikiLeaks releases?
I did not.
Wow, is that the gays asking the question?
Yes.
He's crowning!
I swear, listen, do you have any...
At least thousands of emails harmful to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Can I ask you, did you have any interactions with President Trump about those WikiLeaks releases?
I did not.
Stone is the sixth Trump associate convicted or to plead guilty in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Former independent counsel Scott Fredrickson said Stone may be hoping for a pardon.
Did Mr.
Stone go to trial with the expectation that a pardon would be forthcoming down the road before he ever had to be sentenced to prison?
Stone will be sentenced in early February, and because he was convicted on all seven counts, he faces a maximum 50 years behind bars.
Now this was a big win for the resistance that Attorney General Barr spoke of.
This is the guy that ruined so much.
If it wasn't for this guy, this a-hole Stone, who was...
Basically, he hacked into the DNC email.
He gave it to WikiLeaks.
It's all Roger Stone.
And there's so...
This is vengeance.
Finally, we can get back in this asshole.
He's going to jail.
He's going to rot in jail for the rest of his life.
Witness, Bill Maher Show with Donna Brazile.
Will President Trump pardon Roger Stone?
Not before the election, would be my guess.
Well, he's going to be sentenced on February 6th.
I hope he roasts in hell.
Whoa!
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
That son of a bitch.
Whoa!
Hold my beer.
Work with WikiLeaks to destroy not just Democrats, but to destroy our democracy.
Democracy!
Roast in hell.
And I wish I'm at the sentencing hearing because I'm going to wear the best looking red dress I could and say, go to hell.
Anybody who sits down and try to work with a foreign government that is trying to destroy our country, destroy our candidate, yeah, they work to destroy Hillary Clinton.
They work to sow discord between Hillary and Bernie.
And yes, they took our emails, took our personal information, and then they turned against us and threatened our lives and harassed us.
Go to jail.
She is.
This is the best case of projection I've ever heard, because it was the emails that showed that Donna Brazil was complicit with the Democratic National Conference.
Committee.
Committee to undermine Bernie Sanders and rig the convention in favor of Hillary Clinton.
And she finally has a way to justify her anger at herself by blaming it on Stone.
It's unbelievable.
Stone had nothing to do with those leaked emails.
It doesn't matter.
It was the leaked emails that showed Donna Brazile had given the questions prior to a debate.
She's the most complicit in the whole thing.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign.
But no.
No, no, no, no.
I'm sorry.
Roger Stone ruined our democracy.
Instead of these bitches, since she used the word, Who actually did subvert democracy in their own party.
Backslash rant.
Man, oh man, oh man.
That's a good catch.
Well, it's not just a catch.
It's like it got splattered in my face.
Like a bukkake of lies.
Oh, please.
What?
So let's take a look at...
Oh, by the way, just a quick side note.
Yes?
Greta's heading home.
I know.
We're so happy she hitched a ride.
16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has set sail for Europe, ending an 11-week visit to North America that saw her lead student strikes for the climate while calling out world leaders over their inaction on the climate crisis.
Thunberg hopes to reach Madrid, Spain, in time for the U.N. Climate Summit in early December.
She and her father, Svante, are sailing aboard the 48-foot catamaran La Vagabonde, refusing to fly because of the high-carbon footprint of air travel.
Democracy Now!
will cover the U.N. Climate Summit in Madrid.
Did you see that catamaran and the family that lives on it?
Yeah.
It's just an interesting group.
They're this mom and dad and young child who's like, I don't know, pre-toddler.
And they live on this catamaran full-time.
And they do YouTubes.
Let me think of all the things I'd want to do in November is take a 48-foot catamaran.
Across the ocean.
Across the Atlantic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, let's hope they make it.
No, I'm sure...
It'll take them...
I think they...
We'll see.
They probably go pretty close to the coastline.
They go all the way up north.
It's going to be so cold.
Oh, God.
All right.
Sorry to imagine.
Well, at least they can keep the...
Keep the perception going of how incredibly important it is.
Important.
I got a clip.
I got a clip of Planet Money.
Had a double shot in under three seconds.
This reporter has fry and tea.
They were sharecroppers.
Grew corn, cotton.
Cotton.
Cotton.
They were sharecroppers.
Grew corn.
Cotton.
Corn.
Cotton.
Yes.
I can't even do the fries as bad as she did it.
Cotton.
Let's do some updates around the world, because there's all these riots going on.
Yeah, let me see if I have one I can kick us off with.
I'll start us with one from Prague.
Around a quarter of a million Czechs protested on Saturday, demanding their prime minister resign over concerns that he's dismantling democracy.
The protesters filled Prague's Letna Park, where some of the biggest rallies were held in November 1989 against communist rule.
On Monday, it will be 30 years to the day since communism ended.
I want justice.
Justice and, I don't know, I want to be proud of this country and I cannot be now.
So I need democracy here.
I need, I don't know, more money for good people and not just for some, I don't know, basic minds.
Many protesters chanted, we are here, echoing the cry from 30 years ago during the protests that propelled Václav Havel into office.
Protest leaders want Prime Minister Andrei Babish to sever ties to his agrifert business that they say represents a conflict of interest or else resign.
You know, I just realized when we do something like this, when we do a little around-the-world trip, we should do it like the pros do.
So we should do a music bed so it's more coherent that this is all one report.
Yeah, you're right.
All right, here we go, everybody.
We're going to take a trip around the world.
We're going to see what's going on in all those other countries.
It's crazy out there, y'all!
One year since the anti-government protests began, France's Yellow Vest demonstrators were back on the streets of Paris on Saturday.
Paris police fired tear gas as clashes broke out near the Port de Champerey as protesters were preparing to march across town.
Police also intervened to prevent a few hundred demonstrators from occupying the Paris Ring Road.
All right, John, what else do you got in the world of craziness around the world that the news is not reporting?
Oops.
Iraq!
Hold on, where's Iraq?
That's right.
Something in Iraq.
In Iraq, soldiers opened fire on protesters in Baghdad Thursday with live fire, rubber bullets, and tear gas, killing four people and wounding scores of others.
This brings the death toll from anti-government protests to at least 320 since October 1st.
Iraqis are opposed to widespread corruption and demanding job opportunities and basic services, including clean water and reliable electricity.
That's right.
It's crazy all around the world.
No agenda keeps you informed.
What's next, John?
A short-lived ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip has broken down.
Israeli warplanes resume bombing parts of the besieged Palestinian territory Thursday, while members of the Islamic Jihad group fired a fresh salvo of rockets at southern Israel from Gaza.
At least 34 Palestinians have been killed and over 100 injured since Israel assassinated the Islamic Jihad leader Bahabu Alata on Tuesday, killing him and his wife and injuring their children.
Showing the world burning in less than 60 seconds.
What's next, Dvorak?
Report on Venice.
Report on Venice!
Streets and canals merged as the second highest tide ever recorded swept through Venice on Tuesday.
Undaunted, most tourists took to touring the city on gangplanks.
But some chose to swim through St.
Mark's Square, the city's main piazza.
As waters hit 1.87 metres high, the highest in half a century, sirens sounded.
For residents, the effects are devastating.
Our masks, our flights, everything.
Look at what we're living with here.
I just want to cry.
The city's mayor has declared a state of emergency, blaming the rising waters on climate change.
Meanwhile, much needed offshore barriers designed to prevent floods remain unfinished.
The project, started in 2003, has been dogged by delays, soaring costs and corruption scandals.
And Venetians are demanding progress.
It's been ten years, but they have done nothing.
It's in total neglect.
It does not work, and they have stolen six and a half billion dollars.
Our politicians are all thieves.
They should be in jail.
The damage is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars, and there are concerns that this flood is the starkest warning yet that the city is drowning.
And that's your world burning in 60 seconds or less on your No Agenda show.
We're all going to die.
We're underwater!
We're underwater!
We're doomed!
I think we have a format here.
This is something we could do.
Where'd that one come from?
Water for doom.
That's Glenn with a double N. I thought it might be a possible end of show ISO, actually.
It's a little long.
Well, I have a couple I want you to listen to.
Okay, I'll give you my candidate again first.
We're underwater!
We're underwater!
We're dooms!
How many seconds was that?
It's too long.
It's six seconds.
It's too long.
Yeah, because you bitched in my five-second one the other day.
Well, if I did it, not to be honest, if I picked it up from here, it's three seconds.
Here's three seconds.
All right, so I'm just saying.
We're doomed is good.
Okay, I got ISO. I got wow.
ISO wow.
Okay, ISO wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
You should have said that a couple times to make it sound like she's crying.
Wow, wow.
Wow, wow.
Okay.
Then I have a thing from AOC yelling for a revolution.
This is two seconds.
Who here is ready for the revolution?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
I do like that one.
That's kind of good.
Who here is ready for the revolution?
It was liquid.
Hot liquid.
I'm silly today.
What else do you have?
That's the only two I have that I can see.
No, okay.
Well, I like the AOC a lot.
Yeah, it's a good one.
It's a very good one.
And yeah, I'll see if I can shorten up the Dooms.
That might be better for a different time.
Regardless, with that, I would like to thank you for your courage in saying the morning to the man who put the seas in cold catamaran!
Good morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
In the morning, all ships on the ground, food, feet in the air, subs in the water, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to all of our trolls in the No Agenda Troll room who are there faithfully.
Let me see how many trolls we got hanging out here today.
Let's see.
1,142 trolls!
Nice.
That's noagendastream.com, where you can hear the soon-to-be-nighted Darren O before this show on Thursdays and Sundays doing the pre-stream.
Oh, no, today is Sunday.
Oh, actually, I put it on the page on noagendastream.com.
I actually put the grid.
Remember we talked about the grid?
No.
Yes, you do.
No, I don't.
Yeah, the people want to know what shows they're hearing.
Oh, yes, they do.
They want to hear what shows they're knowing, knowing what shows they're hearing.
So you just do a show you want to look and see.
Yeah, so I put a link.
Actually, it's a link to the Gitmo list, gitmolist.org, which, of course, tracks all this stuff.
We have the best producers.
It should also be broadcast on the sub Band channel and put on the radio and stream across as a crawler.
Okay, whatever you said, I agree.
I think it's a great idea.
I'm not quite sure what that was.
The RDS channel, you mean?
Yeah, yeah.
Gotcha.
Yes, noagendastream.com.
Take a look at the new link that shows you exactly what you're listening to.
Also, in the morning, to the artist who brought us the outstanding artwork for episode 1190.
The title of that was Olive Theory.
And this was done by Mike Riley, professional artiste.
And it was LMNOP, very, very pissed off.
Which is exactly what LMNOP are, seeing as they have been jacked in the ABC song.
And there were a number of good pieces, I have to say, that we could choose from.
But does this pop or what?
And it's really, really, what a great piece of artwork this is.
It's dynamite.
Now, I was thinking, we always say art by, and that's the actual credit.
Shouldn't this be a more official credit for these artists?
Shouldn't this be like art director or art direction?
Isn't there some term that is equivalent to an executive producer?
Well, if they were picking the art, then they could be the art director.
We're actually the art directors.
Right.
But how...
What is the category for an Academy Award for art?
Is it art direction?
There's not a...
Well...
I don't know.
I don't know that I've ever seen an award for cartoons or anything like that for the Academy Awards.
Illustration.
Or anything else.
Okay.
Designer.
Art designer.
Just art.
Fine.
All right.
It's settled.
Okay.
I just want to make sure people get good credit.
That's all.
Good credit.
Set design.
There you go.
That'll do it.
Thank you very much, Mike Riley.
And everyone who submitted artwork, you should check out the ones that came in that we didn't use for the album art, but will be used, I'm sure, for something else.
You can find it at noagendaartgenerator.com.
Sometimes it's a little weird to create a new account, but I guess if you try and try again, eventually it works.
You have more experience with that than I do, Jon.
Or is that something Paul Couture has to fix from time to time?
I don't know that it needs fixing, but maybe it does.
Yeah, sometimes I get an email people can't.
I mean, we do get a lot of newbies that get on there somehow.
I don't know.
I'll try.
I'll go.
I joined it a long time ago.
I'll try again.
All right.
Noagendaartgenerator.com.
And that is a part of our value-for-value system that we adhere to here.
We don't take no money from corporate interests, absolutely no commercials, no sponsors.
If we talk about any product, we like it or we don't like it.
No, it's the producers of this show.
That's you.
You're the ones that keep it going.
Not just paying...
Helping us pay our bills, but also we've got server bills.
When you count it all up, it's pretty interesting what it costs just to keep something on the air and not use YouTube or Podbean.
Podbean has its limits.
If you get the kind of listenership we have, you'd have to pay a lot of money to Podbean.
We've got petaflops, baby, petaflops of data going out.
And that is typically helped enormously by our executive producers and associate executive producers, and we like to mention them, in an appropriate place for showbiz terms in the program that's right now.
So, John, who are we thanking today?
Wow.
Hey, I'm in my DJ mode.
You're in your total DJ mode.
I've got my music beds.
Yeah, you're out of control.
Yeah.
Probably some new bud.
Is that what the deal?
New bud?
No, but I had it in the freezer for a while, so maybe somehow that.
Oh, maybe it changed.
It morphed.
It's a Tiva for sure.
Yes.
Okay, Mr.
Laughing.
$111,111,1110, which also matches up with our Veterans Day show.
Ah, correct.
Yes.
From Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Loris Lobovia.
There he is once again.
And here he is with a note.
Thank you for your great analysis and deconstruction.
Thank all the producers that make this show remarkable.
The searchable database is invaluable.
Hint.
That's bingit.io?
Just bingit.io, bingit.
To non-contributing listeners, please demonstrate your value to humanity through contributions before we all die from the climate crisis or terrorist attacks.
Bush too led the way with using terrorism to get votes.
I used to say no check is too small until I received a one-cent refund check.
Yes, one cent.
Sent via USPS and posted with a forever stamp.
What?
I put the check in a drawer to save for posterity.
Three months later, I received another letter, again USPS, but using discounted postage, stating the one-cent check was uncashed.
And I should cash it.
Or, if lost, request another check.
Gotta love the system, don't you?
Two thoughts from this experience.
First...
The movie Office Space had a profound impact on auditors requiring full reporting of very small customer refund amounts.
TPS reports.
Secondly, the scent sign is long gone from the keyboards and I miss it.
I consider using my royal typewriter just so I could use the scent key, but the ribbon is dry.
Enjoy impeachment and the climate emergency and, of course, terrorist threats coming to a re-election near you.
No jingles, no karma.
Oh, man.
Cereonymous of Dogpatcher and Loris Lobovia always bringing it to us.
This is a good one.
That was a good note.
And a little more humor than we're used to him, typically.
Yeah, he's in a mood like you.
Well, I'm having a good day.
It's the day.
It's the week.
It's the month.
It's the year.
It must be that.
It's the changing of the colors.
It's the leaves changing from green to yellow.
Oh, that's it.
Okay, good.
Just making sure I know.
Now, here we go.
This is just Tobias.
It came in very much like Onimus.
This is an anonymous-like note, except it was not typed and it was handwritten, and the postmark was from some other area.
But other than that, it was a very anonymous note.
Apparently, by the way, Option Key 4 on a Mac still gives you the sense sign.
Just as an aside.
The difference here is that, yes...
The difference here is that the note is short.
But get your pen out.
Okie doke.
This is an insta-night.
Oh, nice.
Thank you for the No Agenda show.
It's quite acceptable.
Please keep it going.
I would like to be knighted Sir Tobias of the Wetlands.
Okay, got it.
And here's your note.
Sidra.
S-I-C-I-D-R-E as in, like, sample cider.
And foie gras would be appreciated.
Oh!
We shall mess the fattest goose we have for you, sir, Squire.
No jingles, no comments.
Sincerely, Sir Tobias of the Wetlands.
Now, he sent us a 1,000 Swiss franc note.
Wow!
That's more than a thousand bucks, I think.
No, no, they're about one to one.
I think it's a buck or one right now.
Swiss francs were tagged to the dollar some time back, and they pretty much kept par.
And then there's a fee of cashing it over, which will probably knock down it.
Yeah, you're right.
It's 1.01.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
Is it a crisp note?
It's a crisp new 2019 series.
Mimi got into this note because she was looking at it.
It's got micro holes.
It's got holograms.
It's got directional printing inks.
It's got multi-colors.
Does that have something for the blind?
Some raised bumps so you can find out like the Dutch used to have?
I don't know if there's...
There may be.
I mean, there's so many things on this bill that it's out of control.
Nice.
So it's a pleasant bill to handle.
And it's a thousand.
We don't even do $500 bills in the United States anymore.
No.
We don't.
It's ridiculous.
Why?
Why?
Because we wanted to get rid of all cash.
How does it make sense to you?
Look, in the 1970s, we had a dollar's worth of about $10 today.
It's about a 10x thing since about 1972.
We've got to have inflation of 10x.
But while we're having inflation on the upside, so pennies are worthless, a dollar's worth, today's dollar, the 1972 dollar's worth about $10 today.
Why would you drop all the higher levels of bills?
And a $100 bill is like For all practical purposes, worth $10 in 1972.
So we're restrained to have just a bunch of $10 bills?
You know the answer to this.
What is this?
What kind of line of questioning is this?
I'm grilling you.
It's the war on cash.
Exactly.
You're stupid.
You should have Apple Pay.
You should have the Apple Credit Card.
You should get your Credit Karma.
You should have your Google Bank account.
Whatever you do, don't get any Bitcoin.
Don't get any of that stuff.
That's evil.
Anyway, I want to thank Tobias for his contribution and education.
Yeah, thank you very much for your courage.
And it's almost a shame to have to exchange that note.
Sounds like a beauty.
Meanwhile, we got Justin...
Fiedler in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at 433.67.
And he actually did it through PayPal.
With the donation today, my smoking hot wife, Tiffany Fiedler, should be up for a damehood.
Nice!
The dame drive continues as requested.
Good work, Justin.
She's going for a promotion at work and needs a little jobs karma on top of her damehood.
Can you add some Hefenweizen and hoes.
H-O-E-S. China is Hefenweizen hoes!
Yeah.
To the round table.
Sure.
For jingles, please play Dealer's Choice, Sharpton, Goat Scream, and Jobs Karma all around.
Thanks for all you guys do.
Gurgle and the third right.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Vote for jobs!
Harmony.
There we go.
Ah, that's a couple that's destined for many years together.
In love and harmony.
I'd say.
Nick Craig's next on the list with the last executive producership at $333.33.
He's from the Infection Survival Podcast.
Oh.
Infection Survival Podcast.
A couple of tchotchkes.
A key ring.
Podcast tchotchkes?
Are they podcast tchotchkes?
Does it have his podcast name on it?
Both of them are podcast tchotchkes.
It's a key ring, one of them.
Is this doing anything special?
Are they like a prepper podcast or a medical podcast?
Infection Survival.
I wonder exactly what.
It's just called straight up the infectionpodcast.com.
Infectionpodcast.com So you can go to Infectionpodcast.com I got it.
Okay.
I'm glad.
Nick Craig in Wilmington, North Carolina.
ITM gentlemen, forgive me for I have sinned.
I've been a total douchebag since 2013.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
I also need to call out Sean C. Douchebag!
And Brian A. Douchebag!
Both hitting me in the mouth and not contributing to the value-for-value model.
What a bunch of douchebags.
I recently got a job as a dude named Ben in the MSP world and decided Decided part of my first paycheck needed to be donated to the best podcast in the universe.
Shout out to the boys from Myrtle Beach Meetup Group.
Keep up the great work, gents and 73s from KD2KPL. Give me a Stay Woke in AJ. Oh, I should have given you these.
I'll tell you what they are.
Stay Woke in AJ It's Real and a Trump Space Force.
Followed by karma.
What's AJ? It's real.
Oh, I got that.
Three times.
And the Space Force?
Yeah, Space Force.
Followed by what?
Karma.
Karma.
Okay, I got that.
My millennials!
Stay woke!
It's real!
Space Force!
You've got karma.
There you go.
The podcast, by the way, it appears to be a gamer podcast.
Didn't see that coming.
Oh, well, those are popular.
Didn't see that coming.
No, it's very popular.
No, I was with you, and if you look at the card that he sent me, his business card, it has a...
It's got a black hand and a couple bug-eyed guys.
Brian and Nick are the two guys that do it.
Then it says infection.
It's pretty ominous.
Yeah.
If I gave this, if I was one of the guys and I wanted to meet somebody, I said, here, babe, here's my card.
They would run.
They would run.
Especially if they're dateable, right, John?
It's possible.
Yeah.
There are datables out there.
Wearable datables.
Beyond my era, Sir Redbeard comes in as the associate executive producer for show 1191 when he's in Glasgow.
And he came at $250.
And he says, sending now asking for home selling and moving karma as my family and I are moving.
Wait, wait, wait.
I don't have that at all.
What?
You have?
I don't have all that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
The first line was cut off.
Sorry.
I got it.
Continue.
Sending now, asking for...
I'm sorry.
Just couldn't see it on my spreadsheet.
Sending now, asking for home and selling and moving, Carmen.
My family and I are moving from Houston, Texas to Glasgow in the UK. I've been here for two months now getting everything ready.
So he's in Glasgow.
But I'm headed back for a bit before we all move back at the end of December.
No jingles, just karma.
Thanks for the infosainment, Sir Redbeard.
You've got karma.
I have the note for the next one.
I don't know why Eric didn't pick it up.
And the next one is...
Ono Priester.
Priester.
Which means he's the preacher.
Priester.
That is...
Remember the Dutch, in the days of Napoleon, everyone had to re-register, so they made up phony names.
And he's from Seust.
Seust.
Hi, Adam and John.
Happy to chip in a little more.
Wait, wait, wait.
23456 is his donation.
Ooh, nice numbers.
23456.
Hi, Adam and John.
Happy to chip in a little more, just to show my appreciation of the value Noah Jenner provides me every Thursday and every other Thursday each week.
If possible, please write up 3456 for the peerage account of Juliet Knauss.
Oh, so that's part of the Dame Drive.
So, Julia, you can notch that onto your ticket and keep track of that.
This is the Canadian girl.
The remainder I selflessly reward to my upcoming peerage where I would strive for the title of Sir Lather of Indecision.
Tomorrow is November 16th, which he obviously wrote when he sent this donation in.
The official entrance of Sinterklaas here in the Netherlands.
I am happy to report that in my hometown, it is indeed Soost-Pete.
Not Soot-Pete.
Just Blackface.
I roll...
Yes, that was Soot Pete.
That's what we titled that.
Oh, man.
As Adam said a few shows ago, Adam reported extensively about the going-ons
in Slave Nation 31.
That's in the Netherlands.
And indeed, we are governed by a ship of fools.
It touts your very imagination.
It puzzles me that this happened on our watch.
Karma for all listeners of the No Agenda show, especially for you lot.
Kind regards from Ono Priester in Seuss.
Thank you, Ono.
You've got karma.
Actually, we do have some updated MH17 news for today's program.
If we get to it, the program is jam-packed.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, I want to thank all these folks for the executive and associate executive producerships taking on the responsibilities for show 1191.
Yes.
And these credits that you have hereby received, executive producer and associate executive producer, are valid and actually quite valuable if you use them in the appropriate place.
We suggest putting it in your profile.
On Twitter, or if you must, some of the other bags.
And of course, noagendasocial.com.
But really, the LinkedIn is the place where it makes a difference.
It looks cool.
And good stuff happens.
Sounds cool.
It sounds cool.
Hey, baby.
You can have a gaming podcast business card or one that says, Executive Producer No Agenda Show.
If only I could find an unknown for my next talent search.
Would you know anybody?
That's how you do it.
You'll find them in bars.
And we'll be thanking more in our second segment, $50 and above.
Again, thank you so much.
This is your show and you're making it happen.
If you'd like to contribute and get yourself a de-douching, very simple.
Go to our website.
That's right, MA17 coming up.
And the OTG phone, another tease.
What are we going to do?
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water. Order.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Blah.
Blah.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Let's see, there were some other things that were, let me see, some things that needed some attention.
Well, I have one that we can play in the meantime, which is pretty funny.
Okay.
This was, you know, this guy, Howard Kurtz, he's got some media type show on Fox.
And I guess Fox has been given some sort of a edict not to ever mention this whistleblower's name, this guy that's...
C.O. Morella, whatever his name is.
Yeah, whatever his name is.
Spook.
Yes.
And so here's an example where somebody, it comes up in the conversation...
And the name is just casually mentioned by one of the people on the panel.
And Kurtz goes into kind of defense mode.
It's very funny to listen to a guy.
Well, we don't know that's his name.
We don't know.
He just freaks out because he knows he's going to get in trouble.
For letting this happen on his watch.
When it doesn't match their political motivation.
And of course, Adam Schiff first demanded that the whistleblower testify until that precise moment that it was revealed that they had coordinated prior to him filing the complaint.
That the whistleblower had spoken to Schiff's staff.
So it seems like the media are just following what Adam Schiff wants, and that's not a good look.
If Rand Paul wants to out the whistleblower, and he can do so on the floor without any legal consequences whatsoever, why hasn't he done it?
Why ask the press to do his dirty work?
Because he's a hypocrite and a weak man who wants someone else to do his dirty work.
But also, perhaps anybody who knows who it is, I don't know who it is, many of our journalists here don't know who it is, but would face an enormous political blowback.
So it's easier if the press does it.
Well, but I want to take a step back.
When we say, why hasn't the press done it?
I could say, why hasn't Fox done it?
I could say, why hasn't the Federalists done it?
Actually, this is one of the things I don't quite get about the conversation we're having.
There has been reporting on this whistleblower.
The president is saying that the media is not doing its job.
How are you guys exempt from that?
The New York Times did all but reveal his name in September.
They gave all the details.
The New York Times was the first to basically half out the whistleblower by saying he's a CIA officer who had been assigned to the White House.
Real Clear Investigations has identified a man named Eric Cherimella as the whistleblower.
So it's already out there.
We could be talking about this reporting and talking about whether that's accurate reporting or not.
So I feel a little bit confused about why we're pretending that it hasn't already been reported.
I just want to clarify that I don't know that that is the person.
That might be the first time that the name has been mentioned on Fox News.
And not by a Fox News reporter.
I just want to clarify that I'm going to come to you on this.
I don't know whether this is actually the person or not.
And I don't want to speculate about that.
Oh man, these people are chicken shit and I'll tell you why.
I know exactly what's happening here.
First of all, if you are a CIA agent, which I believe Caramella, whatever the guy's name is, Caramella Mai, I believe he's a CIA agent.
It's his job to be involved in some of these conversations.
He's on loan from the agency.
So you're saying he's a CIA agent working in the United States against the law?
Well...
No, the idea that a CIA agent can ask for immunity is not possible in our system.
So if he truly is a CIA agent, which I believe, then if he's working on behalf...
Of the agency and doing whatever he's doing.
And that's appropriate that the agency could be there to be informed.
But you don't have any kind of immunity when you're an agent.
It's just not how it works.
You're in it.
You're in it for life.
You cannot go and spill the secrets later on.
And for the same reason, outing a CIA officer is an offense.
And you can go to jail for that.
Like real big boy jail.
see Scooter Libby outing Valerie Plame.
And that's why they don't want to do it.
Because, you know, the New York Times came very close by saying it was a CIA agent, but didn't actually say who it was.
So that's the problem.
That could, you know, look, Roger Stone is going to go to jail for the rest of his life for kind of minor infraction.
So, you know, if anyone has any idea that it's a good thought to out a CIA agent in this weird environment, I understand, but they're not being honest about it.
It's just bullshit.
Crap.
What they should have done is Kurt should have done exactly what you said.
He should have said the exact same thing instead of...
Yeah, just be honest about it.
I don't know who it is.
I don't understand why no one's saying that.
Maybe they're too stupid to know.
Jamokes, Kurtz.
I don't even know who these people are.
When is this show on?
Is it a weekly show?
Or a daily show?
It's one of those weekend shows.
He's famous.
He's well known.
I mean, it's not like it's a slouch show.
And yeah, the woman who mentions the guy's name because somebody else mentioned the name.
Once the name gets mentioned and then somebody else keeps mentioning it, it's still speculation for all practical purposes.
Yes.
The guy's name is unpronounceable, so I don't know if we can't mention it on the show because we can't pronounce it.
But it's just the wimpiness in the way they do it.
Instead of saying, look, it's illegal, and they should have gone into it.
It's illegal to mention somebody's name if we know for a fact, even though they don't know for a fact, but they assume they know.
Everyone seems to think it's this guy.
Well, if you know for a fact, you can't out him as an agent.
That's the bottom line.
Yeah.
Let's see how show business is intertwined with politics once again.
One of our producers caught this and said, you know, when you guys played the clip from The Guardian with Hillary Clinton, she said something about retiring Trump.
And I want to retire him.
I want to see him retired.
And he asked if I knew the cultural reference that coincides with this term.
And that is Blade Runner.
The original...
Yes, Blade Runner...
In both Blade Runners, but I think the original one...
Actually, he sent me a clip.
Blade Runner is out to find replicants.
These are the android humanoids.
Yes, the replicants.
And what he does is the following.
May I ask you a personal question?
Sure.
Have you ever retired a human by mistake?
*laughs* No.
So maybe she was talking about something else.
She's talking about assassinating him?
Yes, retiring for sure.
Well, that's disgusting.
Not really.
It's just part of the show.
Hillary knows a bit of the show business ball.
She knows how to play it.
But I think what's happening now with Amazon's latest Jack Ryan series, which some people are jitty about, getting all into it.
Kind of hard to watch.
I haven't watched any of it.
One of our producers sent me a clip.
He says, now this is interesting, whereas they're talking about Venezuela, and everything they say about Venezuela is true except for one glaring change, which was probably slipped in there by the Lear Hollywood Foundation, if not just wishful thinking.
The fact is that Venezuela is arguably the single greatest resource of oil and minerals on the planet.
So, why is this country in the midst of one of the greatest humanitarian crises in modern history?
Let's meet President Nicholas Reyes.
After rising to power on a wave of nationalist pride, in a mere six years, this guy has crippled the national economy by half.
He has raised the poverty rate by almost 400%.
Did you catch it?
Play it again, please.
I'll play the relevant bit.
Let's meet President Nicholas Reyes.
After rising to power on a wave of nationalist pride in a mere six years...
What nationalist pride?
This country is socialist.
What are they talking about?
Venezuela is now bad because of a nationalist pride.
Do you see the subtlety?
Not that subtle.
Nationalists, bad.
Socialists, apparently good.
When the nationalists came in, that's when everything went to hell in a handbasket.
Okay.
All right.
Beautiful job of propaganda.
Yeah.
Well, that's how it works.
This is the kind of thing that's sickened me about some of the broadcast television efforts.
No, it's not an effort.
Who are they trying to kid?
Well, they tell it like it is.
It's a better story.
The real story's better.
You know, a bunch of idealists, socialist idealists that get in there.
They can't run anything because they don't know what a business is.
They run everybody out of town.
You know, the whole place goes broke with one of the biggest oil fields in the world sitting right off the coast.
I mean, come on.
How does that work?
OTG going OTG. I'm an OTG kind of guy.
That's right, everybody.
We're going off the grid.
OTG going OTG. Here it is!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Another OTG. Well, I teased it.
You hung in long enough.
I know that you're all jitty about it.
You want to hear what phone I have discovered.
I'm very excited by this.
And this is really something I've been waiting for in the U.S. for quite a while since we have not really received the Nokia banana phone that's still Asia only.
The radios don't work with, at least not with T-Mobile.
So nothing's really been available here that made any sense.
Until, and I think it was someone in Europe or Asia who reviewed the Nokia Banana phone and pointed to a link that there is a new phone available for the GSM providers, so that's T-Mobile and AT&T, and that is, drumroll please, that is, where's my drumroll?
Wait, I got it right here.
And that is...
Yeah, well rehearsed.
And that is the Alcatel Flip Go 3.
And I would recommend everybody...
Already.
It sounds like when you flip it, it howls like a dog.
It's fantastic.
The Flip Go 3 is upgraded from the original Alcatel Flip, which I tried a while ago.
It was just not up to par at all.
This is running KaiOS.
To review, the idea of the OTG lifestyle is multiple layers, but most importantly, it is meant to wean yourself off of the smartphone where you are a zombie person.
And you're just like everybody else.
And you're controlled by this thing that's notifying, telling you what to do.
You're continuously feeding back with all the sensors that it has.
So whoever's on the other end of those fabulous apps knows exactly if you're standing, sitting, reading in bed.
All of that stuff.
What's the name of this thing again?
Give it to me.
Alcatel.
Flip Go 3.
And you can even go to the T-Mobile website.
T-Mobile is selling it for $100 or $4 a month.
So it's incredibly affordable.
It is 4G LTE. I've had it for a full 24 hours.
And I have used it, not extensively.
That's the point.
And I can tell you that the battery, after a full 24 hours, I'm looking at it right now, battery is at, what do we have?
81%.
So that's not bad after 24 hours of some standby, obviously, but also usage.
Now, why is this phone so perfect?
Because when you go OTG, which means you can enjoy outside, you can actually laugh at the other zombies running around with their phones in their hand, glued to their head, bumping into stuff, getting killed in traffic.
Yes.
You said it was the Alcatel Flip Go 3.
It turns out to be the Alcatel Go Flip 3.
Hmm.
That's interesting.
Okay.
Maybe I said it wrong.
I thought I got it right off the box.
Okay.
Alcatel Go Flip 3.
Thank you for the correction.
Well, I wonder why it has such a silly name.
So here's what's great about this phone.
Besides the price, besides it's incredibly light, it has the screen on the front when it's closed.
It's a flip phone, so it attracts attention.
It's like, oh, what do you have?
This is the latest, baby.
Uh-huh, cool, let me see.
You can hang up with the very satisfying close of the lid.
All of that's standard, but...
Because it has KaiOS, it has some interesting features.
First of all, it has a very good email program that will just do some email if you need to.
It has a web browser, HTML5 compliant, that will just kind of do some web stuff.
It actually does Twitter better than the iPhone 5 that I was using.
It has SMS, MMS. And here's where it gets interesting.
They have an app store and apps, and these are HTML5 apps, so they're really kind of like web-based apps.
App is a big word, which you can develop for it as well, and we'll talk about that in a minute.
And they have a couple of things that you can load but don't have to.
They have a Facebook app.
They have a Twitter app.
They even have a Google Assistant app, which if you choose to enable it and use it, which is by default, you have to undo that.
It's very interesting if you need to do something in a pinch, you can actually dictate into the phone and it will type that out for you instead of you messing with the keyboard.
Of course, that directly puts you in communication with Google and they know exactly what you're doing, so you don't have to do that.
But the fact that it's there is interesting.
Everything you want, if you need it in an emergency, is in this phone, yet it doesn't do jack crap otherwise.
It has no other sensors.
It does have GPS. You can, in fact, if you want to, run Google Maps.
It won't give you turn-by-turn directions.
You have to click Next yourself.
But in a pinch, which is all you really need this for, it can do all of that.
But basically, for SMS text messaging, for phone and email, and, oh yes, wait, hold the phone, you can indeed load a WhatsApp HTML5 app and use WhatsApp on this phone if you have to.
I don't recommend it, because obviously...
The true beauty of OTG is you're ultimately feeding less information into the machine.
The less the information the machine has about you, the better.
On top of that, and this is why I advise everyone have this, don't throw away your old phone, your smartphone, with all your apps and all your yippee-die-yucky choo-poop-poop things that are so cool and you absolutely can't do without.
You can always throw that in the car, throw it in your bag, turn it off, Because the Alcatel GoFlip 3 also has a built-in hotspot.
So you really can be OTG for as long as you need.
If you need to do that little extra thing, like your podcast partner sends you a text message, the text message says check your email for the newsletter, you can indeed open it up and reply with email.
Predictive text.
It's not all that bad for short replies.
And if something really happened, I really, what, oh my God, I don't know what to do, then I could always turn on the hotspot and use my laptop to get at whatever I need to do.
$100, I am blown away by what this phone is doing.
It is right on the edge of where you want to be.
It does enough things well enough, but not well enough that you actually want to pick up the phone and do it on the phone.
You won't ever do that because you're bored.
Alcatel GoFlip 3, a great OTG device.
Seems pricey.
A hundred bucks?
Well, I got my blue phone, which is a full-blown smartphone.
I know, but you don't want the full-blown smartphone.
That's counterintuitive to the whole mission.
Well, to your mission.
My mission is to keep the phone in the closet.
Yeah.
Well, I never used it.
I never take the phone with me.
Everyone's got phones around me.
Why should I have a phone?
Okay, you're so much better than everybody, okay?
No, I'm not so much better than everybody.
You don't have to be snotty.
Who's snotty?
Who's snotty?
You're like, meh, I got a phone that's better than that.
It's cheaper.
I never said that.
I said it's cheaper.
Yes.
And it's a full-fledged phone.
I mean, I just think this phone's too expensive.
If it was 50 bucks...
What price do you put on your sanity, Dvorak?
This is about keeping people sane and not having a cheap-ass smartphone.
You can buy a $50 smartphone, too, if you want.
The whole idea is sanity.
If you have the cheap blue smartphone and you put it in your pocket, you're going to use it.
You're going to be a zombie.
It's infectious.
I don't think putting a phone in your pocket is a good idea.
Well, we agree on that.
So, okay.
Well, thanks for that.
GoFlip3, trademark.
Flip is trademark for some unknown reason.
Really?
Yeah.
GoFlip3, it's a TM, not the circle R, which means it's not registered.
It's just under advisement.
They'll sue you if you try to mess with them, is what you're saying.
Yeah, because you're going to bring out a flip phone.
GoFlip.
It's cute looking.
I like the style of having the window giving you the time.
It will give you an SMS notification.
And the long battery life is a huge plus.
That's a big key.
Big key to success.
Very few smartphones will last a day.
You can drop this thing.
You dropped it already?
Oh, yeah.
It's not going to break.
You know, it's clamshell, so the screen inside is protected.
I mean, it's really...
I always thought KaiOS would be good.
You can set all these permissions, and instead of saying, don't let these apps...
For any app that's running, which is a big word for app, it's an HTML5 app.
For any app that's running, you can determine if it can access, you know, your microphone, etc.
And instead of saying allow this app or deny this app access to GPS, it says geolocation, which I find an interesting choice of term.
Does that mean that it actually is hiding the ability to geolocate me in general from the app?
Well, geolocation is a combination of GPS and Wi-Fi location.
And perhaps cell towers.
And cell tower location.
So I'd like to know what they're saying about that.
Yeah, if they say you can turn off geolocation, they can't find you.
That's right.
The only thing that it needs is a podcast app.
We have lots of dudes named Ben and developers.
I don't believe there's no podcast app for that.
There's no podcast app for it.
And it does have a regular earphone jack.
It has Bluetooth.
I think one of our smart dudes named Ben can write up a quick podcast app.
And they pick up about 45 customers that way.
Oh, for sure.
Because I went to the T-Mobile store yesterday to buy it.
And, you know, they have a lock on their safe.
You know, we'll go get one from the safe.
And you have to wait 10 minutes because they have a time lock.
I guess that's somehow.
Yeah.
So if you come in, you rob the place, say, open the safe!
Like, they can't say, well, we could open it, but it won't open for another 10 minutes, so you have to hang around, presumably, to get the bounty.
But I said, how's it doing?
Are they getting robbed a lot?
Yeah, some of these phones, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He said it happened just last week.
Not that location, a different one.
Someone came in with a machete and got the money.
His phones are being ripped out of the store every day.
Every day!
Well, I know the Apple store is a subject to gangs coming in.
In fact, one story, the guy rams the whole front of the store is glass.
They ram the front, and then they come in and swoop up all the phones.
They clip the wires, you know, that they're hooked to.
And off they go.
So the guy said, they're selling like hotcakes.
He says, people are snapping these up.
Yep.
You're just making that up.
No.
No, I'm not.
Why would I make that up?
To promote this idea of buying this phone, you're getting a discount.
Are you being bought off?
Oh, jeez.
I just don't see it.
For $100, I do not see people buying these phones like crazy.
But okay.
I'll take your word for it.
Okay, boomer.
Well, it's probably an appropriate thing to say there.
It's about sand.
I thought you enjoyed this.
We promote this lifestyle and now you're turning people off.
No, I'm all in on it.
You're accusing me of being on the take.
I'm still conscientious about the expense.
You're accusing me of being on the take.
Well, well.
Well, what?
Now you're making it worse.
Now you're making it sound like it happens all the time.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I hinted.
It was a joke.
I kid.
I kid.
Well, anyway, you know what works fine on it?
Wikipedia's new social network.
Have you tried that?
Yeah.
You sign up and immediately say, well, there's 60,000 people waiting for you and pay me.
What?
Yeah.
If you go to...
What the hell is the name of this thing?
It's wiki.social or...
Whalespace.
Whalespace?
Jimmy Whale.
Jimmy Whale.
Whalespace.
What was it?
WT.social?
Yes, WT.social.
So, okay, already a member, log in.
All right, so I'm going to log in.
Hold on a second.
Because I already created an account, and it says, okay.
You want money right off the bat?
So now, no matter what I do, no matter what page I try to get to, it says, you are number 66,390 on the waiting list.
Financially support our mission for social without selling user data and get immediate access to the site.
How would you like to contribute?
Select your country.
How would you like to pay?
$12.99 monthly or $100 per year.
Yeah, you cannot see anything for free.
Zero.
Which is okay.
That's not going to work.
But where's my little taste?
This is not how drug dealers operate.
No, he doesn't know how to do it.
He said, oh, send invitations to get access to the site earlier.
I think $12.99 monthly is kind of a, you know, I would like to do, I would spend $12.99 for a test, you know, to know that, I mean, for the show.
It's too high.
Hey, Wales should start selling these flip phones.
He knows how to ask too much money.
So, yeah.
I don't know.
I don't think I want to pay first.
I want to see a little bit.
You can't see a single thing.
You can't see a timeline.
And it seems to be focused around news.
I don't know if I really want that.
I don't even use Facebook and it's free.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're not giving up anything for that.
Except your life.
So, to kind of round out the...
The OTG segment.
So now I have one last, you know, I'm pretty good now.
On the road, I have very low visibility because there's just not a lot of data that I'm handing.
Of course, there's some geolocation, although the phone says that it'll shield me from Google seeing that or anyone seeing that.
Do you have any car tags that you use to get across bridges or toll roads?
No, I do not.
I don't.
But I was reading about Microsoft Advertisement, Inc., And this is really, you know, I always knew that Microsoft was doing a lot, but they're really ramping up their ad network.
And it's all coming from desktop searches.
It's all coming from stuff you're doing on Windows 10.
I mean, just for my basic computing needs, I think I have to get, for the show, I have to be on Windows.
I just have to be.
It's just what everything's running on.
And it's not a problem.
It's, you know, it's one device.
But for my regular computing, I'm seriously considering to switch to something else.
Windows 10, and I put this article in the show notes, it's disgusting what they're doing.
You can not install Cortana all you want, but that hoe is running throughout your entire desktop life, sucking up data and sending it off to Microsoft.
It's very...
Disconcerting.
Yes.
I don't understand.
Why does an operating system have to be spying on me?
It sucks.
It sucks.
And they're not bashful about it.
They're just saying, oh yeah, no.
People are searching for stuff.
Once you hit that Windows key, that start key, that flag, once you hit those four little boxes, it's tracking you and sending that off.
It's lame.
It's terrible.
I would have hoped you had more feedback than that, but...
I don't have much to say.
I was actually surprised it's as bad as it is.
I would love to go to Linux, but Linux...
Well, for one thing, you can't do what we're doing on Linux because even though you hear, well, you're not using the right distro and you're not using this.
No, Skype on Linux stinks.
It doesn't work for crap.
Anyone that tells you otherwise isn't doing anything.
I mean, it's not as though anyone's doing a podcast on Linux.
That's the least of the problems.
There is little to zero support for any sophisticated USB devices on Linux.
If someone has that, you got the drivers, and you can make my mark of the unicorn run.
I'm even willing to consider trying it, but I don't think so either.
But you can use Jack!
Pulse audio with Jack, man.
All the cool kids are doing it.
No, it won't work.
And GIMP. But what I'm saying is just my regular computing work, which is everything else that I do currently on the Surface Go.
Interesting, I have a Go Flip and a Surface Go.
I got something going on.
There's something going on with your brain.
I love the Surface Go.
It's a fantastic device to use as a tablet or a laptop.
I do everything else on it, but it's just spying on me.
I've read articles about...
The OTG segment's morphed into the whining segment.
All right, take over then, dude.
Oh, no, you're not calling me dude now.
You're calling me a white hat.
No, I say you should close the segment before we talk too much about this anymore.
That's what I said.
It's all yours.
I don't...
No, you got...
Don't you have the closing thing?
You got to go to the song or something?
No, I'm closing it.
No, I'm just closing it.
I'm just closing the door quietly.
Hmm.
You've been nothing but negative.
No, I got nothing.
You've been nothing but negative.
I'm a negative Nelly today.
I think so.
Well, you don't should blame yourself.
It's a balance.
You're so over-the-top positive, I have to be a little negative.
It's just the way it works.
Oh.
I got something for you.
This will make you feel better.
So, you know, you're the pipeline guy.
So there's all this talk about Trump, and there's all this stuff, and then we just showed a whole blitz of international news that nobody's even talking about.
Yeah.
Well, they're not even talking about the local stuff anymore.
This is from...
I had to get this...
Amy Goodman?
No.
You'd think she'd be all over this.
But no, I had to get this story from Al Jazeera.
Now, there is anger over plans to expand an oil pipeline near the lands of indigenous people in the U.S. state of North Dakota.
A recent leak at another pipeline nearby is making activists even more anxious.
From Linton, North Dakota, Alan Fisher reports.
And we'll begin the hearing.
Some came a great distance, some came to object, and some were veterans of the fight to stop the pipeline in the first place.
You will pray for your sins!
For months they stood in defiance at Standing Rock in North Dakota, determined to block the building of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
When the courts gave the go-ahead, the protesters were forcibly removed from the land.
Now the company that built the pipeline wants to expand it, pumping twice as much oil through it.
Environmentalists are worried.
If you double the amount of oil going through a pipeline, if you do have a leak, If you're going to have twice as bad a leak, so that's a real concern.
The state has been hearing the case for the expansion and the arguments against.
This is life.
We're humans.
We can't eliminate all risk.
One of those objecting is the Sioux Tribe, the Native Americans from Standing Rock, their worries heightened by a leak at the nearby Keystone Pipeline.
Huh.
I thought it was funny.
The Keystone Pipeline, this famous Keystone Pipeline, sprung a leak.
Oh no!
This would be top of the news otherwise.
This would be top of the news.
Amy would be there.
Yes, she was on site back in the day.
That's right.
Now she doesn't even cover this.
Now they don't even care.
It's like one of these things that was a passing fancy.
So we were buffaloed to thinking that this was a big deal when these poor Indians must have thought, oh great, we got it made.
We can put, you know, we, but once that court order changed and now they're trying to do other things, they don't even want to cover it.
This is not covered in this country at all.
Well, we have a very similar story going on here in Texas, right above Austin or actually basically through Austin's turf.
They want to run a pipeline underground.
And I believe this will be a natural gas pipeline.
And it's running through this, you know, this very porous rock that we have.
And so if a leak springs there, then, you know, of course, we'll all be underwater.
We'll all die from gas poisoning.
I don't know.
But it's another one of these things that there is just no news report.
But honestly, everything that calls itself, if you have news in the title of your channel, you're probably not news or your program.
None of this is news.
It's activists posing as journalists or something like that on every news organization.
It's ridiculous.
Yes.
And here's what we get from here.
Democracy Now!
would normally be there on the site.
Nothing.
They're doing stories like this.
I want you to just listen to this story.
It's got nothing to do with Trump, but they put a little Trump dig in anyway.
Walmart reopens.
In El Paso, Texas, the Walmart store where a white nationalist gunman killed 22 people three months ago reopened on Thursday.
The alleged killer published an online manifesto moments before the August 3rd attack, echoing President Trump's rhetoric about an invasion of immigrants.
Oh, man.
Jeez.
That is just shameful.
That is.
Well, almost as shameful as what the BBC did.
We had our producer from Holland, Ono, who was talking about his cousin.
Was it two of his family members that died in the MH17 plane that was shot down over Ukraine, which we speculated there's a lot of different ways this could have gone, but they keep coming out with a report, but it's not really a report.
We don't really have the black box information.
Well, we do, but you can't see it.
And, you know, he's one of the family members in Holland who are supposed to be satisfied by the reporting and the reports that the JIT, the Joint Investigation Team...
And no one's buying it.
It's not satisfactory to anybody.
It's very impactful.
You get 250 people, mainly Dutch, who died.
It's a lot of people that are affected by that.
So Bellingcat, the crowdfunded spook outfit, who have cracked the case based on internet reporting and pictures, Bellingcat, question mark, underneath the sea for some reason.
So they obtained the phone calls We've heard these guys talking on the phone back and forth.
You probably heard this a long time ago.
Well, now the Bellingcat claim is that these calls were made on encrypted phones which were only available to the FSB, the follow-up to the KGB. Ergo, it had to be the Russians who were giving the go-ahead to the Ukrainian rebels to shoot down MH17. And the BBC picked this up I won't play the interview with Bellingcat because it's just too long.
But really, he said, oh, it's great that someone hacked the encryption on these phones.
Yeah, I believe that right away.
And the BBC took the ball, ran with it, and they created a dramatized English version of the call just to make sure you believe the Bellingcat evidence.
It was the worst single incident of the war in eastern Ukraine, the shooting down of flight MH17 in 2014.
All 290 passengers, 298 passengers and crew on board the aircraft from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed.
Ever since, an international team of investigators has been examining how the missile came to be fired and who was responsible all the way up the chain of command.
Today, there was a significant development.
The investigators released recordings and transcripts of intercepted telephone calls which point to close links between very senior Russian officials and the rebels accused of firing the missile which brought the aeroplane down.
We've voiced up an excerpt of one.
It's from the 1st of July, 2014, 16 days before MH17 was shot down.
In this conversation, you can hear a member of the separatist militants, the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, telling a local commander that men are coming with a mandate from Shoigu.
Sergei Shoigu was, and still is, Russia's Minister of Defence.
I've got people in Slavansk, but how shall I put it?
They're not local.
They're from the north.
I don't talk to the locals at all.
Can we get in touch with them?
As the commandant of Makayevka, I'd very much like to know what the f*** we're moving towards.
We're moving towards unity of command.
People with a mandate from Shoigu have been coming here and kicking all the local warlords the f*** out of the units.
And then people from Moscow will take charge.
But this does not apply to Makayevka.
You tell me this.
I don't care about Makayevka.
I need to know one thing.
When this happens, who the f*** do I report to?
You will report to the Minister of Defence.
Which one?
Who?
The Minister of Defense of the DPR. And who would that be?
The Commander-in-Chief Boroday.
I don't think Boroday is Defense Minister.
What about Strelkov?
No, no.
Our Defense Minister is Strelkov.
But the Commander-in-Chief, like a President or a Prime Minister, the way it is in other countries, he is Boroday.
Well, Russia has been swift to respond to all this.
The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, questioned the very authenticity of the recordings.
The verdict, the ruling was made right at the very beginning.
All that followed was nothing but shoehorning materials to support the chosen tactic of accusations by the group you mentioned.
So I guess the call that came out originally just wasn't impactful enough.
The translation is correct.
I'm reliably informed from many of our agents at Centre.
At the center?
Yeah.
Are you telling me that what we heard was a reenactment of the call with cussing bleeped out to make it seem as though they're actually doing it?
Yes, exactly.
This is really not journalism.
Of course it's not.
It's Hollywood.
It's show business.
I know.
And BBC. It's like, oh, you didn't, but you have to understand people.
This is the call we want you to focus on.
Okay, we'll have some people reenact it for you then.
Bizarre.
But I think you're right.
Whatever it is, it's not journalism.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
And thankfully we have a few people to thank for show 1191.
Our donors.
Karen Becker tops the list.
She's in Tualatin, Oregon.
Or Tualatin.
Tualatin, Oregon.
The wine-growing area, I believe.
Joshua Scott.
Scott in Lafayette, Oregon.
7777.
She was at 175, by the way.
Michael Halb, 75.
No jingles, no karma.
Well, thank you.
Jeffrey Morgan in Bourne and Berkshire, UK, 7491.
It's a long note there for some reason.
What is he saying there?
Do you have anything?
Let me see.
You like the boomer sections.
I'm not sure.
I'll continue.
William Durkin, 7373.
I took my ham radio license today and aced it thanks to the QRZ.com ham radio crash course.
Okay.
That's right.
Well, as soon as you have your call sign, which usually takes a couple weeks, let us know.
And, of course, go to k5acc.com.
The NAMS are still on the air.
I checked in a few times, but odd times.
But there's always about 10 people connected.
So we'll see you on the air.
73s.
Congratulations.
Sir Milkman of the 3D Printer.
Of the 3D printer repairman.
Oh, that's an interesting job.
6996.
Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Earl of Luna in Locust, North Carolina.
6969, Robert.
Oh, hold on.
This is a knight.
And Earl, emergency swasson of karma.
You know what that means, so we've got to give that to him.
You've got karma.
We've got to make sure our knights are taken care of.
Robert Hausner in Marmora, Ontario, Canada, 6577.
He says, please stop saying okay, Google.
Show some porn with black women.
I got a note from someone else who said, apparently, whenever I say, okay, boomer, that Google also responds.
Not when you say it, but when I say, okay, boomer, Google some porn, that that works.
It's pretty well documented that you say it and it works.
And apparently a lot of people were written in saying that if they say, okay, Boomer, it also works.
Oh, okay.
I didn't.
I only got two notes.
I got about five notes.
But everyone did agree that your voice would trigger it.
Mine didn't, which I find distressing.
It's looking for some notes.
You are the OTG kind of guy.
You can't even activate that stuff.
I'm an OTG kind of guy.
You can't even activate it.
That's how OTG you are.
Jonathan Keegan in Charlotte, North Carolina is going to become knighted or something?
Yes.
6006.
He will become Sir Psychopath?
Psychopath, I like that.
Psychopath.
Yes, very nice.
But it makes him sound like a psychopath.
I like it.
Thank you very much.
And see you on the podium in a minute, Jonathan.
Not Jake, quiet corner, U.S. 5678.
Oh...
Romdos of the Troll Room.
5555.
Hey, Romdos.
This is his first donation.
That's interesting.
Give him a dedouching.
Okay.
You've been dedouched.
Okay, he's been going on about video games after that, so that's the end of that.
Chris Wilson, but not...
Yeah, that's our guy.
He's in East Lakes, New South Wales, Australia, 5210.
Incorrect post now and in the morning, gentlemen.
Please find an ever-reducing Aussie boob donation.
$8008 in exchange.
Rate continues.
This rate will all be...
He's got something to say here.
To be read on JCD's best indignant producer.
Oh yeah, he's irked about...
Yeah, I'll just summarize.
He is not a drunken minstrel.
He's the drunkard minstrel.
Yeah.
And he says, this refers to my ability rather than my proclivity.
Well, you know, if we have to address him properly.
So, well, in his case, for sure.
And he says, shout out to Jeremy the douchebag in Bondi.
See you at the meetup next Sunday, he says, douchebag.
Okay, Sir Chris Wilson, prominently featured, end of show mixes again today.
Well, I think he put the douchebag call out of it.
Send off.
Thank you.
There you go.
Andrew Benz in Imperial, Missouri.
5505.
And the following people, we don't have a big donation segment today to say the least.
And I hope people would step up for the Thursday show.
But here's a $50 donor's name and location.
There's only one, two, three, four, five of them.
Amanda Zwart in Madison, South Carolina.
Joel Deruen in Savannah, Georgia.
Sir Chris Lewinsky in Sherwood Park, Alberta, one of our early supporters is still hanging in there.
Josh Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma, and Adam Moray in Middletown, Maryland.
That's it.
But we do want to thank these folks for helping produce show 1191.
Every donation is important to us.
Important, no less.
It's important.
Yes.
Thank you for those of you who stepped up, particularly in these days where it's difficult to even remind you that we have a show coming up since email is also broken and hijacked for everyone else's interest.
We're just kind of struggling here.
On the outer fringes of the network, trying to keep it going and trying to deconstruct as best as we can.
And luckily, we have a lot of fine people who are always willing to help.
Thank you so much.
And also, everyone under $50, those are some of them want to be there for anonymity, but many others are on our subscriptions.
I encourage you to take a look at those.
Just having one of those ongoing does help.
If everyone did one, we'd be in a much better place.
Thank you for that.
that.
And remember, you can support the next show, which will be on the second Sunday or the first Thursday by going to...
Dvorak.org slash N-A.
It's a birthday, birthday, on no agenda.
Uh, well, today is...
Oh, hold on a moment.
I'm out of control.
I was going to say, today is...
What are we at?
The 17th of November, 2019.
One big whopping birthday.
Amanda Smart says happy birthday to her husband.
He is celebrating today.
So you're at the whole jingle just for you.
Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
Okay, we do not have any title changes.
However, I do have, I believe I had an emergency health karma Sir D.H. Slammer requested.
If you don't mind, please mention emergency broken neck healing karma for Kenneth Peterson in Boulder, Colorado.
So we'll hand that out right now on behalf of Sir D.H. Slammer.
You've got karma.
You've got karma.
And let's bring up our Knights and Dames for today, John.
So if you can bring up your...
Here you go.
I got the big one.
The big one for the Dames.
All right.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Up on the podium, please.
Darren O'Neill, Tobias, Tiffany Fiedler, and Jonathan Keegan.
Gentlemen and lady, all of you are here thanks to your support of $1,000 or more in aggregate.
And that means you are joining the illustrious group of the No Agenda Knights and Dames at our round table.
We have a cornucopia of good things ready for you.
But first, let me pronounce the KD with your official name.
Sir Darren O'Neill, Sir Tobias of the Wetlands, Dame Tiffany Fiedler, and Sir Psychopath.
For you, we have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
We've got heiferweizen and hoes, cedra and foie gras.
We've got breast milk and pablum, ginger ale and gerbils, and yes, mutton and mead.
It's here at every single roundtable.
The four of you, head over to noagendanation.com slash rings.
And hand Eric the Shill your personal details of address delivery and your ring size and he will get that out to you as soon as possible.
It's like a party!
It's like a party!
Yes it is!
First, we have a couple of meet-up reports.
This is where people, producers of the No Agenda show, hang out together, meet, and have non-triggering conversation with very healthy amygdalas.
Cincinnati had their meetup.
John and Adam happy to report on a successful meetup of no-agenda producers and fans in the Cincinnati area on this day, the 16th of November of our year of our Lord, 28-2019.
There were about 12 of us in total.
Strangely enough, 90% of them happened to be dudes named Ben.
Of course, this means a lot of discussion.
By the way, that is not uncommon.
How surprising!
Hey, I'll take them.
The dudes named Ben, Dudette's named Bernadette, they are going to save the world.
And not only that, the funny thing is most of the dudes named Ben that are part of this group, they're all, they got more, they got varied interests and they're all pretty, they're good conversationalists, almost all of them.
Because they feel safe.
Except that one guy.
Because everybody feels safe in the same environment.
We can talk about stuff.
So, as Baron Foxbat of the Cook Islands, the man with the tan says, 90% of them were dudes named Ben.
Of course, this meant a lot of discussion about various IT stuff and also ham radio and such.
John and Adam were, of course, also there in stick and paper form.
Some photos were attached.
All the best to both of you.
Thank you, Baron Foxback of the Cook Islands.
That was fantastic.
I'm glad that you had a successful meetup.
We got our first two audio reports, meetups.
Very happy with...
This is a shining example of a meetup report.
26 seconds from Michigan Local 1.
Shut up already.
It's science.
Hi, Adam and John.
This is No Agenda Local 1, founded on May 19, 2014, by John C., as in Costco Wine Dvorak, at the Arbor Brewing Company in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Tonight our round table is in a Novi pizza shop.
And we're talking about the episode in which John criticized the listener who sent him some trail mix.
Actually, no.
But this is how fake news is created.
In the morning!
See?
That's what I'm talking about.
That's a report.
That's a meet-up report.
Then the Wichita meet-up.
I think there were about nine people there.
They decided to do something different.
They were in a restaurant with about 150 people and decided to get the whole restaurant in on the joke with a jingle for the show.
We need to get a sound recording for this Netflix demo that we're doing.
Did he say Netflix demo?
I think that's what he said.
For this Netflix demo that we're doing...
I hadn't heard that the first time.
People are like, wow, yeah, man.
For Netflix, not for a podcast, but for Netflix, yeah, we'll do anything, man.
We'll do anything.
For this Netflix demo that we're doing, a guy that yells in the morning all the time.
So.
Everybody in the restaurant just yell in the morning, like on the count of three, that would really help.
I've got my sampler here.
Do you guys mind helping me out?
Okay, let's do it.
Alright, we need to quiet.
Three, two, one.
I think that was perfect.
Thank you guys.
Yes, for our Nexflix special.
Nexflix.
Nexflix special.
That's our new hashtag.
Nexflix.
Well, that took a lot of nerve.
I love it.
I like it.
Very good.
Quick list of the meetups coming up for this week.
Actually, Friday the 22nd.
We'll be in The Hague at 6 o'clock.
That's in the Fiddler Den Haag in the heart of the city.
On Saturday the 23rd, it's Kamloops, BC, Scandinavia at the Noble Pig at 6 o'clock.
Sunday the 24th, Lowlands, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
This is the big...
Let me see, where are they doing this?
It'll be the third meetup in Utrecht.
There you go.
Sunday afternoon at DB's, a cafe in the inner ring around the city.
Used to be a train factory.
That'll be at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Sir Hendrick organizing.
Also on Sunday, Aggieland College Station.
Oh, man.
That's so cool.
I've been there many times.
Calling all NA producers, listeners, douchebags, and citizen slaves.
Meet at Moe's Irish Pub.
Joshua McLean will be your host.
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Aggieland College Station is probably one of those tailgate pre-gamers.
Also Sunday the 24th in Sydney, Australia.
This is what the drunkard minstrel alluded to.
At 3 o'clock, the second official meetup for Sydney-based No Agenda producers located in Merrickville.
Sunday at the Gasoline Pony.
It sounds like, you know, those guys, man.
He's got a lot of weird names for bars around the country.
Australian and Texas sounds...
I'm sure that a gasoline pony would be great here in Texas, too.
Then, for the week after that, Saturday has the Southeast London UK meetup.
It's the fifth one already.
Oh, woeful attendance issue.
Hmm, 2 p.m.
The Southeast London meetup returns to major applause combined with the Real Ales Ways, somewhat legendary.
Bring your own vinyl night at the Real Ale Way.
GWFF is organizing 2 o'clock, and that'll be Saturday on the 30th.
And that's your meetup report, your meetups for the coming two weeks.
Remember, it's very important that we get out there and meet each other and have face-to-face contact.
People seem to enjoy it.
It benefits all.
I agree.
Let me see.
What do I still have?
Um...
Yeah, exactly.
I got some Green New Deal stuff, but I'm not sure that's...
I heard the Bernie thing.
How about...
Here's something I just wanted...
How about the gun...
You know, this gun lawsuit needs to be discussed.
This is a bad turn that nobody's really talking about.
This is suing the gun manufacturers?
Yeah.
Okay, gun lawsuit.
Any more setup?
We roll.
Well, that's right.
I mean, the justices let stand a landmark decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court, which said the families of Sandy Hook victims could sue Remington.
That's the manufacturer of the rifle that was used in the massacre.
Now, the gun industry had actually asked the justices to get involved, saying it had broad immunity from these kind of lawsuits.
So today's order, letting that lawsuit go forward, that was a big win for those families, Nora.
All right, Jan, thank you.
Now, do you have any...
I mean, I know this is the report that I heard as well, but I didn't get any more in-depth.
I didn't hear much about it.
Well, they're trying to keep it on the down-low.
Because it's going to cause a bunch of people to make a fuss.
Yeah.
How does that legally work, even?
I don't know, but I think they're going to let it go forward to see how they're going to argue it.
Maybe it's just the idea to entrap the argument and then push it out and then kill it at the Supreme Court level.
Could be.
But we don't know.
And if they start suing Remington and the local suppliers of weapons, they're not going to be able to do the overseas ones, but they'll start suing the gun...
Stores where the guns are bought.
It can get completely out of control.
It could wipe out the ability for anyone to ever even buy a gun anywhere.
Oh, I'm sure.
And they're also coming for video games now.
All the investors have been warned.
The violence in video games, you're going to see legislation.
And this is at an investor conference.
People are pulling back from their bullishness on video game companies as an investment.
They see a lot of problems ahead, which would go right hand in hand with any type of...
Other gun legislation.
This is a story that a lot of people have emailed to me and said, well, could you please deconstruct this?
Because it sounds like it's bullcrap, of course.
There's not enough information out there for me to fully deconstruct it, but I can help everyone on their way.
This is Taylor Swift's latest issue with her former record company.
And Sandy Ocasio-Cortez jumped in to support her.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday voiced support for artist Taylor Swift on Twitter.
The award-winning singer and songwriter tweeted Thursday about her ongoing battle against record executives Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta.
According to Swift's tweet, Braun and Borchetta, who own the rights to Swift's older songs, are prohibiting the 29-year-old from performing those songs live.
The freshman congresswoman took to Twitter to show her support for Swift.
Private equity groups' predatory practices actively hurt millions of Americans.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Friday, Their leveraged buyouts have destroyed the lives of retail workers across the country, scrapping one-plus million jobs.
Now they're holding at Taylor Swift's own music hostage.
They need to be reined in.
I just love The Hill.
That read is so dead.
It is the deadest thing I've ever heard.
And they create videos out of that.
I can't believe...
Anyway, Sandy needs to back off.
She's way out of her league here.
And Taylor Swift is being disingenuous.
And Taylor Swift is a publicity...
She's a marketing genius.
And she's a publicity hound.
And this is just more publicity for her.
The main issue is...
You notice in all the stories, they definitely make the point where she was going to be named the entertainer of the decade.
They always slip that in.
Well, this is what's going on.
As far as I can tell, because we don't have all the information.
Now, to just say, the previous record company owns the rights to those songs.
This is not entirely true.
Whoever wrote the songs has the rights to the songs, to the words, or the music.
The publishing is what she gave up.
It's not abnormal.
Most artists do that.
Even when you have a smart hedge fundadio who will move your whole family to Nashville to make you famous and get you rich, it doesn't mean that you still don't make those early bird mistakes.
So they have the publishing.
And this story goes hand in hand.
It's two items.
One is...
Oh, they won't let me perform my old songs.
I was going to be an entertainer of the decade.
And I can't use it in my Netflix special.
You see, this is the rub.
It's about the Netflix special.
The Netflix special falls under different rights.
It's not a broadcast right.
This is streaming.
This is different.
This is a sync right.
There's a whole different can of worms of whoop-ass that opens up when it comes to using the songs, publishing them on a...
On a device, which you can argue any way you want, but whether it's a Blu-ray, a DVD, or a CD, or a stream, it all falls under different types of publishing rules.
So she wants to do something that she doesn't have the right to do, and she's trying to use public pressure and literally saying, well, they have other artists, and you should tell those artists too that those guys are no good.
Very disappointing, Taylor.
Very disappointing.
She should be honest about how it works and maybe help some kids in the future who have some stupid dream that they can become stars like Taylor.
Not that it's impossible, but then they wouldn't make the same mistake.
Instead, she's playing it like David versus Goliath, and it leaves a taste in my mouth I don't associate with Taylor.
That sounded really weird.
I don't...
Yeah, I don't know about what you just said.
It's a Dutchism...
In Dutch you say...
It leaves a strange taste in my mouth.
But I... I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm sorry too.
I have to read that.
You're talking about somebody asking you for advice and they want you to deconstruct stuff.
Yes.
Headline, CBC. It's torture.
Is a mysterious cannabis-related illness underdiagnosed in Canada?
Scromiting?
No.
What?
Little is known of the cause of CHS. CHS? Or why it affects some heavy cannabis users and not others.
A mysterious cannabis-related illness is turning up in emergency rooms in Canada, but exactly what causes it is unknown.
Yeah, scrommeting.
Don't say scrommet in CHS. We call it scrommeting, and it's the puking and screaming at the same time.
People with CHS suffer from repeated bouts of vomiting in between these episodes or times without symptoms.
Yeah, this is the scrommeting.
Hyperamesis.
I think they've poisoned the weed.
No.
When we talked about this the last time, a lot of producers said that they had also had this, and the only way apparently to stop the effects of scrommeting is a hot shower, because somebody does something to your nerves.
I say if your body is responding in any way to something you're taking, you should stop taking that thing.
That would be my advice.
That's the basic advice.
I've had a lot of THC produce, a regular daily user, and no, this has never happened to me.
They discussed a hot shower in here, but they also, this is pretty funny.
I'll read this to you.
Typical anti-nausea medications like Gravol have little effect, and treatment recommended includes rehydration, stopping cannabis use completely, and psychological counseling.
Haldol, an anti-psychotic drug that is used to decrease excitement in the brain, can have a positive effect.
We've talked about this in years past.
It's a horrible product.
As can capsicum, the hot chili oil, which derived from chili peppers, can mimic the hot shower effect.
So I guess you can rub hot chilies all over yourself and start to burn from that, and that seems horrible.
If this happens to you, you should take up drinking.
I don't know.
It's very sad.
I've never seen it.
We have producers who have witnessed it.
And I believe them.
And it's apparently quite horrible.
But I just...
Yes, scrumity.
I just find it peculiar that this has only happened in the last few years.
As opposed to the 100 years of dope smoking that's been going on.
You make a good point.
Because I grew up in Amsterdam.
I grew up with everybody smoking it.
Never heard of this.
Never.
Never.
Well, today's stuff is different.
I know.
It could be THC poisoning, just that plain and simple from the high percentage that they've bred these plants to produce so much THC. It's kind of frightening.
Yeah.
And you can OD on water.
I mean, it's just whatever it is.
And it's probably, I think we did go through this, it's probably people who are dabbing, so they're using the highly concentrated oil and they're igniting that in a vaporizer type device.
You can overdo it.
The idea of weed is kind of like the OTG phone.
Take the edge off, man.
Cool, chill, relax.
Not whack-a-doodle.
Because that's what that stuff makes you.
The wax?
The wax?
Waxadoodle!
It's crazy.
Alright.
My last clip.
Okay, I have a funny last clip too.
I don't have a funny last clip.
I have a depressing last clip.
Oh, great.
Then we'll do your clip last.
No, my clip goes now, and then you should have the funny clip.
Oh, okay.
Bummer.
Okay, bummer.
The decline of milk.
This is a depressing situation as far as I'm concerned.
What am I looking here for?
Dean Foods.
Dean Foods.
The nation's biggest milk producer, Dean Foods, filed for bankruptcy today.
The company, which also owns MacArthur Dairy, has been struggling as Americans pass up milk in favor of juice, soda, and milk alternatives.
Milk consumption in the U.S. has dropped more than 40% since 1975.
I still drink it.
She still drinks it.
Now, the thing that they didn't mention is they also own Berkeley Farms.
And Berkeley Food, they bought out, you know, it used to be a Berkeley company, then they moved to Amberville and they got bought by this Texas operation, Dean Foods.
They wanted to corner the market on milk products, I think.
And then they couldn't handle the bookkeeping and then they went broke.
But it's annoying to me because the Berkeley Farms is one of the only places that makes a decent, well-balanced buttermilk, which is a favorite of mine if it's done right.
And that's that.
So it's just done and over?
But are people drinking less milk in general?
They said it's down 45% since 1970.
Wow.
Well, there's so much negativity about milk.
Well, if you go to Whole Foods, you look at the section there, it's got almond milk and soy milk and bug milk and they have cockroach milk.
They've got all these crazy milks there that are not milk.
They should be illegal.
They're not milk.
It should be almond juice.
Soy juice.
No, no.
It's nut sap.
Nut sap.
Nut sap is what it is.
Beautiful.
Okay, that was my news.
You get to close the show.
I will close the show with a 23-year-old YouTuber.
I'm surprised that you didn't even bring this clip.
You're the guy that watches these cute girls on YouTube.
You're fascinated with them.
I mean, it's just what you do.
Sometimes.
And then, no, I'm sorry.
You watch those, then you send them to me and say, look at this dingbat.
Now that part is true.
So, beside the fact that if you send your DNA to an outfit like 23andMe, you know, the police can pretty much now access it when they want.
You know, the warrant is easy.
These companies give up your DNA immediately.
I know you got nothing to worry about, but maybe you do, because what these annoying companies like 23andMe do is they will also actually tell you what your ancestry is.
They will tell you about your DNA, which can be very disappointing if, oh my god, you're more than 99% white!
No, that's not cool.
That is not cool.
They took away my Asian heritage altogether on this one.
99.9% European is what it's saying now.
Like, tell me that it's not the rudest thing you've ever heard.
And 0.1%, wow.
Middle Eastern and North African.
North African!
That's a really small percentage.
Not very happy about it.
Glad it's on the paper, though.
Also, side note, I realize that...
Most likely, any type of African heritage could have been from slavery, and in which that case most likely wasn't from love.
Could have been.
Not cool.
I am not happy with any ancestors that were involved with that, but I do still want to be a little bit African.
Very disappointing.
Is this a black woman?
No, she's white as in the snow!
She's white as the snow and she doesn't...
Because there was a black girl on one of these things where it turns out she's like 90% white.
Yeah.
And she had a beef.
She was bitching and moaning.
No, this is a white girl who's disappointed that she has no Asian.
Of course, she's believed all her life she has Asian heritage and only 0.1% black.
Very disappointing.
And it was probably slavery black to boot.
What is she going to do?
It's not cool, 23andMe.
Brother.

And so when you elect a politician...
And then they let you down.
It feels like rejection.
It feels like heartbreak.
It feels like betrayal.
And it feels like I never want to love again.
That's what that feels like.
And so I understand how that feels because I felt that way.
But you know what happens when you say I never want to love again?
Your heart gets black.
And you turn angry.
and you get buried.
Once upon a time you did a crime Toilet lie to the FBI Didn't you? - Woo!
