This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1197.
This is No Agenda.
Covering the cop and broadcasting live parallel to Runway 27 at Schiffel Airport in Amsterdam.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the rains have washed the area clean, I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
You know, I said Amsterdam, but I didn't mean to do that.
It just came out.
You said Amsterdam.
I heard that.
It came out that way.
I thought you were meant to say it that way.
It's time to leave.
I'm an Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, man.
I'm an Amsterdam.
Yes, I am.
Another gray, rainy day.
You've got the same, I hear.
No, no.
Right now it's sunny.
Oh, I thought you said it.
Oh, the rain had washed everything away.
It's already done.
Yes, the rain seems to be done.
Now, is today Pearl Harbor Day or tomorrow?
The Pearl Harbor Day was yesterday.
Was yesterday, okay.
That was the day that was a date.
A date.
A date.
That will be something.
It'd be there for infamy.
I don't know.
Well, you wouldn't know it.
You wouldn't know it being over here.
Did anybody do anything about that in the States?
No.
That's when somebody mentioned it to me in an email thanking us for doing such a great job on this show.
They mentioned it.
I said, holy crap, I didn't even mention it in the newsletter.
It's a good thing to mention.
So I sent out a little note.
Yeah, I saw that, and that was appreciated.
My grandfather was in the Navy, lieutenant commander.
Now, he wasn't at Pearl Harbor.
He got lucky on that one.
But interesting that it's completely just been wiped away.
Not even a mention.
I had nothing over here.
Not a single thing.
Even on the international scene.
It wasn't a lot over here that I noticed.
It was just mostly football games.
Yeah.
High-quality ones, too, so who cares about anything in the past?
Let's just do pretend war.
Have the jets fly over, but let's not remember anything.
That's interesting.
Well, the impeachment here is page 17.
No one cares.
Well, that's unusual, since I know basically Europe is a bunch of Trump haters.
That may be, and what's on page 17 is...
You know, the typical skewed...
I mean, you think it's bad when the U.S. press writes down what Adam Schiff says, but then have the Dutch...
Make his stuff up.
The Dutch press then just copies that and translates it to Dutch, and, you know, now it's facts.
It's how it works.
It's a very, very simple system.
Very simple, simple, simple.
But, yeah, nobody cares at all, it seems.
Huh.
Yeah, the only thing, let's see, what are we learning while I was here?
Learned a couple of things.
There's a number of things I wanted to know about, which is what was the feeling in Holland about the Brexit, for example.
You know, I would say that the Dutch aren't that interested in Brexit either.
They've got their own crap going on.
In fact, the biggest news here, outside of the fact that the farmers really are threatening to cut off all supply routes to all supermarkets right around Christmas...
Which people are like, well, you know, I support the farmers, but if they're going to ruin my Christmas, then I don't think I like that so much.
The support seems to be limited.
But the big news is they announced the hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Did you get it?
I missed it by a hair, John.
Just by a hair.
In fact, they had to get three hosts.
They get three hosts?
That gave you a better opportunity.
I guess I was not on the short list.
Hungry, by the way, has pulled out.
They said, we're not participating in this stupid contest with women with beards, is what Orban has said.
Remember, it was the...
Well, that's a reasonable thing.
At least he has a backbone.
He's barely coming out and saying, it's too gay.
No.
Which, of course, the song contest.
No, he hasn't done it yet.
But he's literally like, wait, what kind of show is this?
There's a point to that.
You've got to give him credit for saying it.
I kind of like that.
But the new phrase here in the Netherlands, you know, it's hilarious.
And that's also news.
You know, it's a small country, but everyone has to drive 100 kilometers an hour.
That's the max, which kind of shrugs their shoulders and go, idiots, and they grouse a little bit.
No one's really doing much else with it.
We had the same situation in the 1970s in the United States when we had the gasoline crisis.
Well, I was living here when that struck, and they had car-free Sundays.
Well, there was that too.
Did we have that in the States?
No, we didn't have that in the States, did we?
No, but we had every other day for being on the road.
For getting gas.
It's also for being on the road in some places.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I remember it was just, there was no cars on the road Sunday.
And it seemed to go on for...
A year at least.
People need to drive.
They're talking about that again here.
We'll get into that in just a moment because it all has to do with climate change and that is the other big news.
COP25. I have some clips too.
I did want to finish up the Dutch report.
Continue with the Dutch report longer.
I don't have that much.
We had to go to COP25. Yeah.
I got some good stuff from COP25. I have a 100% hit rate of coolness factor with the millennials with my flip phone.
They love it.
They love it.
And here's what's interesting.
They say, oh man, I'd love to have this phone.
I want this phone and I just keep my other phone, my smartphone, at home or in my bag or whatever for Instagram.
That's the main thing.
Can I do Instagram?
I said, no.
Oh, okay.
But they all love it.
They think it's cool.
They like the idea of not being able to do too much, and of course they love the fact that WhatsApp will run on it if you load it, because that's the only way you can communicate in this country.
No one uses text message anymore.
All of Europe is all sold on WhatsApp.
It is so disappointing.
I've never used WhatsApp.
Oh yeah, I've used it.
I got banned from it, actually.
I got banned from WhatsApp.
Yeah, didn't we talk about that?
How do you get banned from WhatsApp?
I was using a Python library because I wanted to write a script.
When was this?
This was probably a year and a half ago.
Just before we went on vacation to Mexico, which should be easy for you to remember because we barely ever go on vacation.
So that's how long ago it was.
It was just after that, because I'd read this book, Automating Things with Python.
And I was like, oh, this is cool.
And so, you know, there's some scripts that I still use today, some minor things.
But what I wanted is I wanted to have a Python script that would run on a server, would check to see if there was a WhatsApp message, and then would send that via text message to me.
And then in theory I could respond and it would go back.
But it never got that far because the library that I used, you know, exhibited abnormal behavior from what they would expect to be hitting the API or whatever.
And my number got banned.
Boom.
Done.
And, you know, I got a note that said, you're banned.
There's no way to resolve this.
This number may never ever be used again.
So, and if you don't have the phone number, that's an actual cell phone, you can't even register for WhatsApp.
That's how they do it.
And it can only be on one phone at a time.
And so that's the story of how I got banned from WhatsApp.
Well, that's, besides being a boring story.
I mean, you asked for it!
It's deplorable!
It's deplorable!
It's typical.
It's typical.
That's what it is.
Companies are a bunch of douchebags.
They don't even have the wherewithal so they could maybe resolve something that was a mistake.
You didn't do anything to screw with them.
Yeah, in fact, I did write a note to info at something or support or help, whatever.
Yeah, that helps.
No, never even a reply.
In fact, I don't know how they do it, but somehow those electronic messages go right into the shredder.
Yeah, well, dev null, as we say.
And then the final thing from the lowlands, the phrase, as you know, they've already co-opted, Black Friday.
We have Black Friday!
As much as they hate America...
How do they get suckered into this?
Everybody hates America, but yet they get suckered into the stupidity of Black Friday where there's no Thanksgiving.
I know!
It's a purely commercial vibe, and for some reason they love it.
Well, the Dutch love a good deal.
I don't want to say they're historically cheap asses.
Who doesn't?
Who doesn't love a good deal?
Come on.
The phrase that pays these days in the ever-changing media landscape is binge-watcher!
Binge-watcher?
Binge-watchen!
Binge-watchen!
You nailed it!
Binge-watchen!
Hey!
Binge-watchen!
They finally figured out binge-watching.
So, between Black Friday and that...
They're doomed.
Yeah, they're taking the worst elements of American culture and maxing them out.
It's so disappointing.
This is the problem.
Yes.
Alright, that's what I got.
And then we had a nice family gathering for my dad, and that was all beautiful, and everybody came, and so I'm ready to go back home.
But, not before I kick off our COP25 coverage, which has been wall-to-wall here.
This is what everyone is...
It's been wall-to-wall on Democracy Now!
In fact, I even got two or three clips from Democracy Now!
But the first one would be from the British side.
Now, ocean de-oxygenation.
This is the big one, ladies and gentlemen.
This is what came out of COP25. This is what everybody is speaking of.
Now, ocean deoxygenation.
Probably haven't heard of that, but it's a very big problem.
Ocean's losing oxygen due to climate change, which will, in turn, affect hundreds of millions of people.
According to a new United Nations report, scientists are calling this the ultimate wake-up call to humanity.
Why?
Well, the ocean represents 97% of the physical habitable space.
I love how they bring in a 97% number again.
This is genius.
This is very good messaging.
We have the 97% of all scientists are all in agreement that the humans are breaking the earth.
And now they bring in the...
The oceans cover 90% of the Earth.
The ocean represents 97% of the...
I'm sorry, it represents...
It represents...
...physical, habitable space on the planet.
It is central to sustaining all life on Earth.
The major drivers of ocean oxygen loss are...
What the hell is he talking about?
He says that the oceans represent 97% of all inhabitable...
Yes, I was waiting for you to stop me on that.
Well, I did.
I stopped you.
What is the...
What?
What's he talking about?
This is bullcrap.
97% of the Earth is...
We're all living on the ocean?
What is he saying?
Physical, habitable space...
Let's roll it back and let's listen again, because this is the report.
Well, the ocean represents 97% of the physical, habitable space on the planet.
It is central to sustaining all life on Earth.
Okay, it represents 90% of the...
97!
97% of the habitable.
If you're a fish...
That is an interesting little statement you got there.
Anyway, we continue.
The major drivers of ocean oxygen loss are climate change and nutrient pollution, with the latter affecting coastal areas.
Scientists say rising sea temperature caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions is leading to oxygen-depleted zones.
The report found the loss of oxygen from the world's ocean is increasingly threatening fish species such as tuna, marlin, and sharks.
Oh, it's just horrible.
And this was the headline.
This was what they were jamming down our throats.
I'm not quite sure what it has to do with climate change other than one of the authors of the report, the spokeshole, was everywhere.
I think she did a news hit on every network from...
I saw her on...
Well, I didn't see her on CNN International, I don't think.
But she was on Euronews.
She was on France 24.
She was on Sky News, Al Jazeera.
And you just look at her and you already don't like her.
I'm just telling you when you see her.
Mina Epps, I think is her name.
She's got big AOC glasses with thick rims.
Red, red, wearing red.
Hair tied back.
Big...
Those big rock, like Nancy Pelosi necklaces.
You know, the ones with the big stone.
What is up with that?
Why do women think that's cool?
Does that look cool?
Well, it's replaced pearls.
Oh, that's what it is.
Look, I'm not wearing pearls.
Is that the idea?
I think that might be it.
I'm not sure.
I kind of agree with you.
I think most iterations of this, there are some...
Fine iterations that are nice, but most iterations are ugly.
It's what you expect on Madeleine Albright.
What's your girl's name again?
Mina?
Mina Epps.
Here she is.
So it's a different...
I can tell you exactly what she is.
She's the...
Director of Global Marine and Polar Programs.
Whatever that is.
Here we go.
So it's a different type of crisis.
It's a crisis of the ocean.
And you're absolutely right that it has been missing from the climate change negotiation and very much been focused on what's been going on at land.
So I think it's very...
Notice she says it's been missing from the climate change negotiation.
Which is a little different from the climate change conversation or the reporting or the fear-mongering.
It's clearly being used as a chip in the negotiation.
I don't know.
What are we negotiating about?
Is this something I missed?
Is this about the money?
I'll betcha!
It's been missing from the climate change negotiation and very much been focused on what's been going on at land.
So I think it's very timely.
This is a blue cock and finally the ocean.
Now tell me what she's saying here.
This is a blue, and I can't hear the word.
I listened several times.
Let's go over it a couple times.
We'll get it.
So, I think it's very timely.
This is a blue cock.
I mean, I know what it sounds like, but it can't be.
She said it was the blue cock.
Blue cock, but what is a blue cock?
Well, I don't know if you've been to Portugal, maybe.
It's been going on with land.
So I think it's very timely.
This is a blue cock.
And finally, the oceans, which contains 97% of living space, is getting the attention they deserve.
So what we're seeing, or what we've seen, is actually a decline in 2% of the global oxygen level.
They have been reduced by 2%.
I can't breathe!
It doesn't sound like a lot.
But just these two small changes will have enormous implications.
But within that is actually masks a lot of regional differences.
So we can take an example of the southeast coast of California in the deeper waters.
We've seen a decline in 30% of oxygen level in the last 25 years.
Ooh, that's right by you!
So how does this all affect, you know, the light in the ocean and ultimately us?
Because we're depending on it for the regulatory systems.
So deoxygenation will have an impact on biodiversity, on biomass of commercially important species and vulnerable species or rare species, but also habitats.
So those oxygen-rich and which are favourable conditions to some species will shrink.
These are shrinking, these habitats.
But also, we are altering the energy and biochemical cycles within the ocean.
Do you hear this bullcrap?
Do you hear?
I mean, she said nothing that makes any sense whatsoever.
Blah, blah, blah.
Oxygen, blah, blah, blah.
It means these upwelling systems, which are absolutely crucial to sustain these fisheries.
That's bringing the nutrient-rich waters up into the surface areas.
So we are seeing that species are migrating because of this.
What the IUCN did is that we worked with 67 different experts around the world, putting together this report, looking at this cumulative impact, but also the linkages to climate change.
So this is all those different parts of the puzzles are coming together.
And of course, climate change has an amplifying effect to these issues.
We're already seeing the changes, and they're drastically all the alterations that we've done to the oceans.
So what I see here is a hijack.
It's a hijack.
Some other group came in.
Do you think that the ocean people are trying to get into the action?
Yes!
Yeah, the blue cocks, they're coming in.
They want some action.
And then what does she say at the end?
Well, of course, we're looking at the linkages between this and climate change.
So it's not really a part of your climate change story.
Yet she's the star of the show.
Well, she's not the star of the show here.
Well, no, but...
I can't even find her on the YouTubes or the Googles.
Really?
Really?
I'm not spelling her name right or something.
Well, I don't know how to spell it.
It's Mina Epps.
E-P-P-S. Let me just see.
Mina...
Nope, that doesn't look right.
Oh, yeah.
Mina Epps.
M-I-N-N-A. Double N-double P. Mina Epps.
And there she is.
Yes.
Alright, now he gets closer.
Oh, her.
Have you seen her before?
She's like a stereotype.
Yeah, put a beanie on her, a green one, and have her go stand up.
Put a red one on, she'd be like Meg.
She is a bit like Meg, exactly.
She's got these big stones around her neck.
Yeah.
Yeah, I told you.
Told you.
Told you she's all about that.
Big smile.
Got the big smile.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
And the intelligent hipster glasses.
While you're looking, I shall play you the report that everybody's buzzing about.
And, of course, the reason why we have to drive 100 kilometers an hour max here in the country.
Why the farmers have to cut their output by 50%.
Because...
The results are in.
And Europe is failing on climate.
Woo!
The European Environment Agency's report shows that the EU could do better when it comes to curbing emissions.
Many of the targets which we set for ourselves for 2020 will not be reached.
So you could say, no, we are not on the right road.
We should implement better.
And if we are serious about the von der Leyen agenda towards the Green Deal and the sustainable development...
You notice, by the way, they talk here of a Green Deal, not the Green New Deal, just the Green Deal, which we were obviously unaware of.
No, we've heard this before.
The Green Deal?
Just by itself?
Oh, okay.
I forgot.
...meant better.
And if we are serious about the von der Leyen agenda towards the Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals, we will also have to come with really new policies.
At the current rate, greenhouse gas emissions will reach 4,000 megatons of equivalent CO2 by 2030.
With a bit of effort, the EU could reduce its emission to almost 3500 megatons at the same date, and then achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
If Europe wants to get serious about going green, there is one sector that can't be ignored, transport.
The black spot remains essentially on the issue of greenhouse gases, since today the transport sector has emissions that are 30% higher than those of 1990.
Over the last four years, greenhouse gas emissions from transport have started to rise again.
Faced with the scale of the task, the European agency stresses that solutions do exist.
Technologies are available, but it also insists on the full implementation of EU policies.
Yeah, so what they're saying there is Europe, you failed.
This is why the Dutch all of a sudden work, because they all want to be the best of the class.
The politicians, they all want to look good in Brussels.
Look at what we did.
We made our stupid slaves drive slower.
Yeah, we'll get them.
We need new and innovative ways of curbing our carbon emissions.
Don't drive, slave.
Everybody has to go electric, John.
All the cabs all around the whole country will all have to go electric.
They've gone crazy here.
And people are just like...
Okay, that's all fine.
So I'll take us up to COP. I know you have clips, so I want you to jump in.
I only have two clips, and it's really less about COP and more about The underlying currents that are going around this thing.
Let me take us to Madrid first.
Now, this was, you know, there's been lots of people out on the street, and they're running around, and it's a very big deal, so they're getting a lot of coverage.
They're spraying them with high-pressure hoses.
They're rioting in the streets of Madrid thanks to this operation.
So here were the pro...
Remember, the Spanish guy says, hey, because they're supposed to be in Chile.
Yeah.
And he says, come on over, do it in Madrid.
We'll love to see you.
And then this guy costs the citizens of Spain a lot of money.
Well, they're there and they have a new chant that I picked up.
It could not be...
I saw the chant.
You did?
You saw the new chant?
I think it's the same one.
I mean, it's not, I guess if you want to call it new, but it's formulaic, but go on.
Oh, God, you're power.
You're power.
Tell me how you're standing.
Tell me how you're standing.
Yeah, it's longer by any hour.
It's longer by any hour.
Power.
Power.
People!
Power!
People!
Because the people got the power.
What?
Power!
People!
Power!
Power of people!
Well, yeah, you got me.
I heard the one where they're just yelling the same old formulaic, like, what do we want?
No, I like this.
People have the power.
It's standing there like sheep.
It's the underlying socialist mentality.
It's sheep being sprayed by water cannons.
People have the power.
Yeah, you got the power.
Here's your power right here.
So then Greta arrived in Lisbon.
She went to the wrong place.
She was on a catamaran or something.
Or the guy that they flew over.
Yeah.
So I have a couple of bits here.
Now, this was from Democracy Now!
I checked.
These are not your clips.
And this was also before, I guess, Amy went to whatever secret studio she had.
This is...
Right, the climate justice speech.
What this is, and this is kind of the overall theme here, it's somebody please think of the children.
It's like, they have Greta, of course, but they've got a hundred kids, and all of them are cute, you know, they're all in the 15-year-old range, 13, 15, you know, they're well-spoken, they're angry, they're They're mad, they're really mad, and they're up on the podium, and they're mad, and they're just mad!
So here is the speech.
We are a youth movement that fights for climate justice.
We fight for climate justice because our house is on fire.
And because our house is on fire, we've organized and striked for the climate, together with thousands of students, many times this year.
Our demands are simple.
In Portugal, we need to reach carbon neutrality by 2030.
We need to keep fossil fuels, including gas, on the ground.
We need to provide clean energy for all.
And we need to cancel new airport projects, Montijo included.
This is interesting.
Montijo is a brand new airport that they've been planning in Portugal, which is going to be massive.
Four runways, and they want to make it the hub for cheap airlines, which I think is economically probably a really good idea.
Yeah.
Well, not for these kids.
Apparently, they don't want cheap flights.
No cheap flights!
Because we need a system change, not a climate change.
Oh, my God.
We are still far from winning.
We know that change disturbs the ones in power.
They tell us our country's ambitions in climate policies, but we know it isn't.
They tell us they are doing what they can, but we know they're not.
But we also know that this is the struggle of our generation, and we will not give up.
We all have raised like a wave to demand climate justice for all.
And we need everyone to join us.
If we lose, everybody loses.
Now we are, like Greta, heading to COP25 in Madrid.
We'll meet with thousands of other climate activists from many countries, including the Global South.
There, we'll be protesting once again against the priority given to profit over our lives.
Now, of course, these kids, they do realize that politicians are full of crap.
I like that part where they say, these guys will take profit over our lives any day.
That's good.
And you should know that because, of course, that's true.
It's just been misguided.
That's the sad part.
The seas are rising and so are we.
Greta, wait.
Thank you for having inspired the youth.
Thank you for being radical in your speech.
Thank you for showing politicians and corporations that will no more accept the climate chaos they've provoked.
Greta, don't stop.
Because together we are going to change the system and demand climate justice for all.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
And we will put out the fire in our house.
Thank you and welcome.
Now, that was just kind of to give you an idea.
These kids, they went on the train with Greta to Madrid.
That's how they got there.
But the UN Secretary General also spoke, and he said something new, which I think is, we've got to figure out exactly what it means or how it will be implemented.
This is Antonio Guterres, who is the UN Secretary General.
What is still lacking is political will.
Political will to put a price on carbon.
Political will to stop subsidies on fossil fuels.
This, to me, was a winner.
Fossil fools.
I mean, it's so good, he doesn't even know how good it is.
Yeah.
I mean, if an American did that, it would be like, oh, genius, fossil fools.
All right, but that's not the thing that I was talking about.
Political will to stop subsidies on fossil fuels.
Political will to stop building coal power plants from 2020 onwards.
Political will to shift taxation from income to carbon, taxing pollution instead of people.
We simply have to stop digging and drilling and take advantage of the vast possibilities offered by renewable energy and nature-based solutions.
So we need to shift from taxation of carbon instead of taxation of income.
This is a big idea.
Well, it's a big idea.
It's a bit specious.
I would say they, of course, they never remove taxes.
You end up taxing carbon and income at the end.
Yes, at that time of the week.
At the end of 24 hours, yes.
And, but what is he, what about taxing carbon?
What does this mean?
Well, If you put a price on carbon...
Let's start with the American economy.
I think we're bringing a trillion dollars in income tax money, something like that.
I can't remember the exact number I wrote up in that essay.
How are you going to get that by taxing carbon?
Especially when everyone's running away from it.
Well, that would be the idea.
The idea is you emit X amount of carbon, and we calculate that by the type of vehicle you drive, the type of house you heat and or cool, if you eat meat.
So you get a number.
You get a score.
And that score is what you're going to be taxed on.
So the idea is, just like Bloomberg always says, you know, it's like we've got to tax the poor people so they don't kill themselves.
In this case, so they don't kill the earth.
Well, this is one of these things where, how do you tax this without creating an onerous system of monitoring?
This is kind of what I came away from.
It may be the idea, John.
No, this is what I came away from.
I only have two clips from the operation.
And it's Amy introducing the situation.
In the process of her telling us why they're doing this thing in Madrid instead of I think it's Valparaiso or one of the places in Chile.
I don't know.
Some place in Chile they were supposed to do it in the Chilean guy.
The president says, no.
We don't want...
This is a hassle.
It's not a good time for me right now.
It's not a good time for me.
We have riots in the streets.
We don't need you guys here to make it worse.
So, of course, that's...
Amy just accuses him of being a right-wing nutball that doesn't want to deal with climate change when he's got more to deal with.
She doesn't address it honestly, but there's a bunch of things she does bring into the picture, which is this, and I think that last clip that you played is representative of this idea, which is to To get population control, one world government, you can't do climate change without social justice.
I don't know how much of this you got over there, but the idea of linking the two has become very apparent.
Can I binge-vote social justice?
So let's just play clip one here.
We're broadcasting from Madrid, Spain, where the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as...
You know, I'm sorry, I gotta stop.
She sounds like, you know, I'm broadcasting live from the surface of the moon.
I want you to know how important this is.
Don't you get that vibe from her?
She's a little more chipper in that way.
She loves going to these events and becoming the only, you know, she broadcasts from there and she's like a minor celebrity.
Oh yeah, does she have her big rock necklace on?
I bet you Amy has one of those.
You know she does.
Yeah, but she wouldn't wear it on the television.
We're broadcasting from Madrid, Spain, where the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP25, began Monday and will continue through next week as environmental leaders from around the world gather to negotiate global solutions to the climate crisis.
The summit was supposed to be held in Santiago, Chile, but the country's right-wing president, Sebastian Piñera, canceled the summit just over a month ago amidst massive protests against economic inequality and austerity.
Spain's president, Pedro Sanchez, then offered to host the summit.
Activists have converged in Madrid for the summit and are hosting an alternative summit of their own, Cumbre Social por el Clima, the Social Summit Festival.
The Alternative Summit has been organized by social justice and environmental groups to draw attention to the ongoing political repression in Chile.
Corporate influence on the Climate Summit, Spain's own failure to address the climate crisis, and the Eurocentrism of the Climate Conference, which is being held in Europe for the third year in a row.
The Alternative Summit begins Saturday morning, that's tomorrow, at the University of Madrid, and will kick off tonight with a climate march through the city center.
This is very encouraging what I'm hearing here.
It is because apparently a group has figured out that this climate negotiation, which I've never heard these cops called climate negotiations, but obviously what they're doing is they're negotiating money Which will go to industry, you know, government coffers.
It will go to people who already have money.
Yes!
Thank you.
They're going to take money from poor people and from taxpaying people and give it to people who already have money.
Yes.
And they figured it out.
And that's why...
Now, of course, they put that under the banner of social justice, which is, you know, we know will be a co-opted, misguided mission.
It always seems to be.
But it's encouraging.
That at least people see the bullcrap for what it is.
Well, I know, but these people, these social justice warriors, splinter group.
Yeah, splinter group.
Splinter group, yes.
Good name.
And so you have a splinter group coming up, and they're marching and rioting, and they're making this chants.
I think that one earlier that you had, there was one of their chants.
Yeah, they have people power, man.
We can binge watch it for the people power.
And they are protesting that regular cop thing, even though Amy can't get her head around that, because the social movement operation, which has a warehouse nearby, put her up and put a studio in there for her.
Oh, that's where she was.
She's all giddy.
She's all, well, she's...
In her case, it's hard to say what she is, but she's very happy and joyful that she's been recognized.
She's chosen one.
So important.
And clip two kind of brings a little of that in.
We're broadcasting from the Convergence space that activists are using as a hub for their organizing.
It's a union hall and former monastery that today is covered in colorful protest art and bustling with organizers that have pulled the Alternative Summit together With only a few months' notice.
So we're right here in the Cumbre Social, in the Social Summit for the Climate, with one of the organizers, Tom Kungharts.
He's a journalist and activist with Ecologists in Action.
It's great to be with you.
Welcome to Democracy Now!
Tom, as we sit here, this place is surrounded by posters.
Maybe we can do a broad view of the walls.
It says Plaza de los Pueblos, the Plaza of the People, Salvemos la Tierra, Save the Earth, as well.
Let's decolonize.
That is a very important issue.
We have a huge historic debt with millions of people who were slaved from Africa to America and never have been justice about that.
So the issue of anti-racism and anti-colonism is very important for the march, also today at 6 in the afternoon.
So hopefully thousands of people will be gathering in this very important march.
Tell us about this place that we're in.
It is a former monastery.
Yes, it was built more than 400 years ago, but it was a trade union building since the 80s.
Yeah, that was slick.
Yeah, he's going on about reparations and injustice.
It's like, what?
On and on.
Slaves!
He could have gone on for days and she made him stop because it was becoming too obvious what's actually going on.
I mean, she's the one who invited him on.
There's no reason to cut him off like that.
But this is what's going on.
There's a bunch of these lunatics that are just a bunch of communists.
Let's be kind of honest about it.
And then Spain's loaded with them.
I mean, we probably have a number of Spanish communists that listen to our I hope so.
But when they start going on and on, there's no discussion by this guy about climate change.
It's about reparations and injustice.
That's the negotiation.
That's the negotiation right there in a nutshell.
Hey, we've got to negotiate.
Hey, this is number 25 already.
Where's our piece of the pie?
What are you guys negotiating?
And there's already a lot less.
We've got a lot of this triggered by It began in Chile.
A couple of major oil and gas companies apparently sponsored Part of COP25. That's fabulous.
They just threw in a bunch of money, which you'd think that they'd be happy to get this money from these people because they're always bitching and moaning.
Dirty money.
But as soon as the money came in, all these socialists started demanding that this is co-option and we don't want your money.
Right.
And all this sort of thing has become an issue.
Now you have this splinter group.
Sounds like somebody wasn't invited to the Exxon party.
That's exactly right.
Hey man, they're partying up over there.
They had shrimp cocktail.
They had these big giant prawns, man.
Exactly.
And they were on ice.
There was a big giant thing and they were on ice and they were all spread around.
And the cocktail sauce was delicious.
You could grab one of these giant shrimp and dip it in the sauce and it was good.
You're making me hungry.
I've seen these things so often.
It's always the same.
It's 10 to 7 here.
I haven't eaten.
I'm getting very hungry.
Get a big giant prawn.
So, it was Michael Zedd who sent me this whole hour of one of Amy's reports.
And she interviewed some other teenagers.
Here's another Swedish teenager.
Always fun to laugh at accents in kids.
So I should say, as we're speaking here, your pal Greta is in Lisbon.
She's just made landfall, and she is about to actually speak.
Others are speaking first at the news conference.
How excited are you?
If she does begin to speak as we're doing this segment...
Then we'll have to shut you up because you're not important.
...we'll go directly live to her.
Your father's a scientist?
Yes, he is.
So I've always grown up with lots of scientific talking around the house, and it made me really curious to learn more.
This kid is programmed!
What do you think of our president, President Trump in the United States, saying climate change is a hoax?
Well, yeah, listen to the United Science.
It's out there, and it's their responsibility to read up and educate themselves, all leaders of the world.
This kid is so programmed with a new term, United Science.
You've got to listen to the United Science, she said.
What do you think that is?
I think that's a new term.
I think she flew on that one on her own.
Well, I like it.
United Science is a good one.
In fact, I wrote it down.
United Science.
Here's the second one.
Hang on.
United Science.
What message do you have for world leaders?
Listen to what the science is saying.
Do we need to drastically reduce our carbon footprints and take care of our environment?
It's your responsibility to do that and not put it on us.
We can't wait any longer.
Oh, poor kids.
Poor kids.
Can't wait any longer.
What is she...
Is her foot on fire?
I mean, what's going on?
Her house is on fire.
Her house is on fire.
She's been programmed...
Send the fire department over there and put the fire out.
That's what Greta's doing.
Greta is there to put out the fire.
You heard it.
Maybe in some far distant future, people are going to look back on this Greta phenomenon and wonder exactly how insane...
People who were during this era?
No, I'm glad you brought this up.
This is a kid.
I'm glad you brought this up.
Because it's very easy for us boomers, although, sorry, I have to stop for a moment.
I now have official boomer cutoff date.
You are not a boomer if born after August 23rd, 1964, nine months after Kennedy was shot.
So me being September 3rd, I am actually a Gen Xer.
But for purposes of this show, I'll be a boomer.
Because it's more fun that way.
You're the world's oldest Gen Xer.
Yes.
The OG Gen Xer.
That's me.
But I remember all the things that we've been told would kill us.
And I'm not alone.
I didn't know that he was still doing shows, but John Stossel, who I think he was on Fox News, and then he was kind of pushed off to Fox Business News, and now he's on YouTube.
But he's still doing...
Wait, wait.
You've got to at least give the guy a little more credit than that.
John Stossel...
On the Big Boy Network.
He was on ABC News.
Oh, ABC. You're right.
He was on ABC News.
For years and years and years and years.
But the problem was, apparently, he was a Republican.
And they can't have Republicans doing these shows because apparently he liked to throw his two cents worth in once in a while.
Well, he didn't even opt for the typical RT deal, which is what you do when you get thrown off mainstream media.
When you get kicked off Fox.
Well, he couldn't get any traction on Fox because...
We want to stop for a second and put our executive hats on for a minute.
Sure thing.
He never really was a Fox type.
He always looked like a network type.
He looked like there is a network type.
This is why I don't think Lara Logan's going to do very well at Fox.
It's the hair.
You're right.
It's the hair.
It's the whole...
It's the gestalt.
He also may be a bit too honest for Fox.
I've always thought he was a pretty decent guy.
I thought he always kind of...
His whole thing was he was like the original Tucker Carlson in terms of being a guest that he found out that these horrible things have been going on.
Can you believe it?
That the public's been getting screwed?
Holy mackerel.
I can't believe it.
He was just this type of guy.
But he's always had that network, the big three network look, ABC in particular.
And we had a local...
There's a newscaster here that was one of these people.
I can't remember her name.
She was here a long time ago, but she was a big-shot ABC reporter.
those shows where you have two or three people yacking about some story, a 60-minute clone.
And she quit and became a local newsreader here, and she couldn't do it because she was, and you can see this, she was a national type, couldn't work local, couldn't be local.
And I think the same thing's true with Fox.
There's only been a very few network people, and there have been a few network people from the big boy networks to Fox that have moved over and been very comfortable over at Fox.
Well, who?
Stossel's not one of them.
No, but who did move over?
Oh, there's a bunch of lesser guys.
They're mostly field reporters, and I could think of a few names.
I'd have to go look them up.
But there's more than a few that are at Fox that used to be at ABC or CBS. Hmm.
Well, Stossel is doing his same show, basically, on YouTube.
And someone pointed out to me, and I just pulled the first 35 seconds because it kind of put me onto an idea.
This environmental catastrophe bearing down on us.
I keep hearing that we're killing the Earth.
How dare you!
You have stolen my dreams and my childhood.
But wait.
I've been a consumer reporter for years.
I've covered so many scares.
Plague, famine and perpetual war will kill us.
We're going to run out of oil.
Nuclear power will give us cancer.
Killer bees swarm ever closer.
Bird flu, flesh-eating bacteria.
The list of terrible things that we're going to get us is long.
And yet we're living longer than ever.
None of those scares turned out to be as frightening as the warnings.
But I'm told global warming is different.
Entire ecosystems are collapsing.
We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.
So, you know, Stossel is probably a boomer, I think.
He's probably about my age.
I don't know if he's older or younger.
But I agree.
And I just wanted to take us down a little short trip down memory lane.
When I was Greta's age, is what I'm calling this segment today.
When I was Greta's age, 1978, I was...
Stossel was born in 47.
Oh, Stossel's a big boomer.
He's a boomity-boom-boom-bermer.
He's up in your neck of the woods, boomer.
And so that's why they kicked him off the air.
Because he's old.
Ageism.
Exactly.
Just ageism at Fox.
And he did a report on 5G. I know he did.
So, old 5G, year out, that's it, done.
You don't fit anymore.
But when I was Greta's age, this was my segment.
In 1978, I was 14, so just a little bit younger, but when Greta started, she was that age.
When I was Greta's age, this is what I was being scared with.
In 1977, the worst winter in a century struck the United States.
Ha!
Arctic cold ripped the Midwest for weeks on end.
Great blizzards paralyzed cities of the Northeast.
One desperate night in Buffalo, eight people froze to death in maroon cars.
Pat Bushnell was on the road that night.
Traffic just absolutely stopped.
I was afraid of being stuck in the car all night long with the cold and the wind running out of gas.
And then what?
I think that if we had to go through a real bad winter, just like we just went through, I think we'd have to think about moving someplace else.
Move where?
The brutal buffalo winter might become common all over the United States.
Climate experts believe the next ice age is on its way.
According to recent evidence, it could come sooner than anyone had expected.
At weather stations in the far north, temperatures have been dropping for 30 years.
Seacoast, long free of summer ice, are now blocked year-round.
According to some climatologists, within a lifetime, we might be living in the next ice age.
Now, if you don't think that didn't...
Worry me as a kid.
It did.
And it was only one show that I'm highlighting here.
We didn't have the internet.
Did you catch the voice, by the way?
Did you recognize the authority?
Support B-Boy a little bit.
Yes!
Leonard Nimoy, Dr.
Spock.
There is little doubt that someday the ice will return.
At least eight times in the past million years, it has advanced and retreated with clockwork regularity.
But we are unprepared for the next advance.
The result could be hunger and death on a scale unprecedented in all of history.
What scientists are telling us now is that the threat of an ice age is not as remote as they once thought.
During the lifetime of our grandchildren, Arctic cold and perpetual snow could turn most of the inhabitable portions of our planet into a polar desert.
So I just play this for the people who are young, who are like, eh, these old boomers, shut up.
We've been through this, kids.
This is one time where it makes sense.
We've been through this.
We've been through all of it.
And it was the exact opposite.
And it was the same people.
John P. Holdren.
There's actually one or two.
There's apparently two very famous guys from that era.
I mean, most of the guys have switched their sides to go the other way because this is where the money is.
But there's still one or two holdouts that still think we're going into an ice age.
I'm with them.
I've been so affected by Leonard Nimoy from my youth that I am still believing.
I believe.
It can be true.
And that's what the media does, and everyone's happy because the climatologists get money, Leonard Nimoy got money, whoever produced this series got money.
It's just lots of money.
There's a lot of dough in this.
Well, yeah, they still get to the bottom of why...
This is so important to so many people, and this is definitely population control.
Oh, well, that's always...
In that thing, I think you even mentioned 5 billion people on the planet.
They're all going to perish.
They're all going to die eventually.
That's extinction.
Extinction.
You know, I'm surprised someone doesn't call it.
What ecosystems have collapsed?
She said those ecosystems are collapsing.
Yeah.
Which ones?
I don't know.
I'm sure there's some bug.
Some bug.
I just find this woman to be annoying.
Yeah.
Girl.
Yes.
Oh, I have two quickies before we move on to...
Unless you have anything else on COP25. No, I'm good with COP25. I'm sure I'll have more in the next show.
Got a note from one of our producers, who shall remain anonymous.
I've worked in the marketing department at Walmart for 20 years.
I know who this is.
He says, we met at the Fayetteville meetup some years back.
I can confirm that Walmart has never paid off a layaway for a native ad.
Walmart is way too cheap.
Walmart would never spend the money when there are good Samaritans willing to do it.
Nice theory, but false.
However, I'll pitch it in the next meeting.
That's a no agenda producer for you.
You'd do that.
I find it hard to believe.
I still think it may be the...
I find it hard to believe, too.
I mean, sometimes you can be working for a company you don't really understand corporate.
Well, but he was in the corporate marketing, so...
Well, he's in the...
Well, yeah, I don't know.
And then this was a very good tip from producer Jonathan, telling me about how I solved the problem with the robot coffee machine.
He says, oh, I just go in any gas station, buy a $25 prepaid Visa card.
Like, okay, thanks.
A lot of effort to go through to not get spanned by a robotic coffee machine, but...
It's the second part of his note that is interesting.
This is an official no-agenda travel tip.
Travel tip.
Travel tip!
As a secret side benefit, and don't let this get out, he says...
Get Fletcher to yell travel tip.
No-agenda travel tip!
Don't let this get out.
You can use this card now in flight on any airline and buy whatever you want.
It will always be approved if it had any balance at all and you will enjoy your drinks and food for free.
Apparently, they're storing swipes only in the air due to the unreliability of plane data, and it also slows down the process.
So they only run them when they're in cellular range.
They prefer a small loss in the lesser-known fringe cases in exchange for easy sales in the sky.
A no-agenda tip, and it's not traceable to you.
This is a larcenous tip.
No, it's not.
It's not larcenous.
Totally larcenous.
I'm just saying that if you run out of money on your card, you know, it's sometimes not a big deal.
Is that a better way of explaining it?
You might as well hit the old duty free store in flight.
I think I'll get some of these pearls for my girlfriend.
Hey, she'll like this big rock necklace.
Wait, you have a girlfriend?
I'm just...
Sorry, sorry.
I thought that was really funny.
Okay, we do not recommend this, this larcenous tip.
It's a fascinating tip, though.
Yeah.
So on the heels of there being quite a faction of people believing that Matt Drudge has sold the Drudge Report and that someone else is now running it and he hates Trump or whatever.
I've never really...
Do you look at Drudge Report?
I've never really gone there.
I think...
10, 15 years ago I used to hit it.
It's just a link list.
I mean, there's no reporting in there generally.
Once in a while there's something.
Most of the time it's just links to other stuff.
I think it's because he never did an RSS feed that I just never followed.
It's like, get a feed together, man.
He never did that.
So he sold it?
Well, that's what the word is.
Well, so the reason why I bring it up, because I don't care, is that a fan site...
of the Drudge Report, and the fan site has 1.3 million followers, tweeted, the best podcast in the universe, with Adam Curry, at TheRealDvorak, hashtag ITM, and a link to NoAgendaShow.com.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, and then the Gab guys jumped in.
Welcome new listeners.
Yes, and then the Gab guys jumped in, and they got a couple hundred thousand, so it's like, you know, it's nice.
We got some Link love.
It's probably all bots.
Who the hell knows?
It's all bots.
1.3 million bots.
I don't know.
I don't know if there's anything going on there.
Yeah, that's kind of the problem.
Yeah.
Let me see.
Do I have anything else?
Oh, yes.
I did have three more things I wanted to mention.
A beautiful Christmas animated No Agenda is out if you haven't seen it.
I'm sure you have.
You saw the latest.
I mean, it is.
And it really is something for the producers because if you don't know our language, then you're not even going to understand what they're singing.
But it's a great job.
Beautiful.
Thank you, Jennifer.
Dame Jennifer.
I have a new search engine to try out.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
You might like this as well.
It's SwissCows.com.
And they're in Switzerland.
You know, they have a big no data tracking storing promise.
And they have a lot of, you know, that's pretty much what they are.
They are an AI company.
So they sell AI solutions.
And they have some interesting little widgets in their search engine.
But my point being, it doesn't seem to track you.
They pledge they don't.
They're in Switzerland.
And it's fast and it gives you good results.
So it's something to try.
Something to...
I will give it a once-over.
You give it a once-over.
And the final thing...
Oh yes, I came up with a name.
I was waiting for this.
This will probably take us into impeachment.
Dave Weiner, my co-inventor of podcasting, he blogs a lot.
All the time.
And I subscribe to his feed, although somehow I get his stuff 18 times.
I don't know how many feeds he has and stuff is messed up in my aggregator.
But he is like your Lib Joes.
He's completely off the rails about Trump.
Thinks Nancy Pelosi would be the best president ever.
But the thing that got me is he now claims that NPR is clearly now being run by Republicans.
Because he didn't like the NPR reporting on some of the impeachment hearings.
I have to find an alternative source.
NPR is just all Republicans.
I'm like...
What do you call a guy like Dave Weiner?
Because I'm looking for, you know, you have your Lib Joes.
I don't have any Joes.
And by the way, for people who don't understand, or are new, Lib Joes is, the Joes are journalists, and these are two friends of John's who are semi-retired, but they're the big boys.
They've written for the big, big publications, for the big papers.
But they go unnamed further.
And they're...
We don't like the term libtard, so libjo makes more sense.
And so I was looking for a name for a guy like Winer, and then it hit me.
A libdev.
Oh, that's actually a good name.
It's a great name.
Because there's a ton of LibDevs here in the Bay Area that work at Google.
It's also...
Jack Dorsey.
Yes, LibDev.
Exactly.
LibDev.
And, you know, lib dev is also, you know, if you ever get into your Linux package manager, you'll see a lot of libs and devs.
So it's kind of has a triple meaning.
But yeah, it's like lib devs.
And that's what we got to be on the lookout for because they're everywhere.
And they're also trying to change open source development itself.
You know, removing terms like master and slave from your projects.
From your master and slave arrangement.
Yeah, from your GitHub.
It's crazy.
Anyway.
I don't know what they're going to do about male and female plugs.
Oh, there's all kinds of issues.
There's got to be 75 different kinds of plugs.
Yeah.
You mean like regular plugs?
Plugs, plugs?
75 genders.
Oh, I gotcha.
Sorry.
I'm out of control.
No, not really.
Let me see.
So, where are we at?
You know what?
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we tease some 25 for 45 stuff?
Whatever that means.
That's impeachment.
The 25th for the 45th president.
Hello.
We'll tease some.
So coming up in just a minute, we're going to do some impeachment stuff.
But first, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in COP25, John C. DeBoer.
In the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning, all ships of sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to our trolls at NoAgendaStream.com.
It's the Troll Room.
I apologize, the stream dropped out for a moment there.
You can listen to the stream...
Live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It's just 365 days a year.
It just never stops.
And there's always, always people in there who are more than willing to hang out, chat, troll, discuss, just, you know, whatever you want.
It's there.
It's a great place to have some kind of semi-human contact.
And, of course, you want to troll the show.
So you can do that at noagendastream.com.
And then also a big in the morning to data.com.
Data brought us the artwork for episode 1196.
We titled that one Clinton Kildepstein, which apparently a lot of people liked.
And this was the dog smoking the pipe.
Yeah, the dog smoking the pipe.
Now, why did we choose this one?
Because it was the best piece that was there, and we knew it would pop.
Well, there's always the big pop.
We like the, let me see, what else did we like?
You know, there was some funny stuff, but if you make really small letters, it won't, A, it doesn't pop, and it just, you know, you can't read it.
It's, that's always a shame.
Try to look at...
Take your art and make it...
Put it on a 250 by 250 and see if you can read it.
Yeah, 256, I think, is...
I see already Comic Strip Blogger has done a permanently banned from WhatsApp art for this show.
And that's how it works.
We've got artists who are listening to the show live in real time, creating art, pumping it out.
I mean, you can almost just watch, just refresh that page as an extra piece of entertainment as we're doing the show.
Sadly, we can only choose one, and we do that at the end.
Right after the show, we choose title, a little opening segment, and the artwork.
And we thank Data for his participation and for the value he provided to the show because it makes a big difference.
And as far as I know, everybody's iOS device now also updates the artwork again.
So we are back and good to go.
It's important.
Thank you very much.
Noagendaartgenerator.com And then we receive a lot of value from people who like what we're doing.
They like the value.
And they do that in monetary form.
And we always like to thank our top donors of the show as they come in as executive producers and associate executive producers, just like Hollywood, except you don't get hookers and blow.
You get your note read and your jingles played.
Fair trade.
Yes, and here they are.
This is the executive and associate executive producers for show 1197.
This, by the way, means we're coming up on show 1200.
Yeah, three more.
It's going to be on the 19th of December, I think.
It's the Thursday the 19th.
We'll be our 1200th episode.
Wow.
That'll be a special show.
All right.
Let's start with Paul Yassi.
Paul Yassi in Meckway, Massachusetts.
$353.17.
With this, I become Sir Paul Knight of the command line.
And then he's got accounting, and then he's got some money.
Okay.
Alright, Paul.
So, I'm going to put...
Hold on.
I don't think I had that.
What did he want?
Bailey's and...
Coffee and Bailey's.
Coffee and Bailey's?
That's it?
Just regular old coffee?
Coffee and Bailey's.
Well, no.
Coffee would be one of them and Bailey's would be another.
So, you put it in the coffee.
I understand.
I understand.
Okay.
Coffee's and Bailey's.
Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
There you go.
Happy to oblige.
It was good.
It was good.
Chris Kendrick, 34567.
No jingles, no karma.
Adam and John, in response to the last show, I'm offering my expert analysis of what goes on in the brains of a new listener to the No Agenda show.
Here is my own experience as a first time No Agenda listener to being on and a fan and night at the...
Oh no, does it stop there?
No.
Oh, no, that's horrible.
Well...
Oh, man.
Let me see if he's got some email in here.
I'm looking, too.
I do not see it.
Oh, that sucks.
Oh, man.
He might be kidding us.
Oh, okay.
So here it is, and then not give us the answer?
Yeah.
You really think that poorly.
And then, by the way, what happened was...
Okay, well, Chris, if there's something else, then please email it to me or John or both of us.
And I'll give him a karma just in case.
Oh, no, he didn't want any.
I'm sorry.
No, he said no jingles, no karma.
There's no email either, by the way.
No, I don't see an email.
Okay.
Dame Laura in Daleville, Virginia, $311.23 in the morning.
A day that will live in infamy.
Thank you both for the sanity you provide.
And by the way, it's a date.
For people out there who are sticklers for details.
It's a date that will live in infamy.
December 7th.
Thank you both again for the sanity you provide.
Also an enormous thank you to the producers who composed the Nothing But A Dame song at my last request.
It reminded me of my mom and made me smile.
And I hope that Adam can have happy memories of his dad when With this recent passing, Merry Christmas to all the listeners and two requests.
One, Jobs Karma, Nancy.
And if possible, the Dame song along at the end of the podcast.
Love you all.
Dame Laura.
Well, Dame Laura, thank you very much.
Yes, I have it queued up for end of show mixes with a little teaser for you right here.
Dame drive, Dame drive.
It's a Dame drive.
And baby, you can be a Dame.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yay!
That's not the one she meant, but I have the actual...
No, I know.
Was that Tom Jones?
Yes, the actual Tom Jones singing on the show.
Tom Jones, everybody.
Special appearance.
James Varga comes in as an associate executive producer, $233.
Dear J&A, your show continues to deliver high quality value.
I can't tell you how many times I've been ahead of the curve and well-informed with I like to call the No Agenda Collective and request baby-making karma for my better half, and I are in the process of trying for our first human resource.
Woo!
Jingles a little girl, boom shakalaka, and don't eat me, Hillary.
Sounds perfect.
And did he want karma?
Yeah, baby-making karma.
Of course.
Boom shakalaka.
Boom shakalaka!
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
Ha!
You've got karma.
I love the kids.
Oh, no.
Anybody out there with little...
Actually, little boys sound good, too, but little girls in particular sound very cute doing these adult phrasings.
Yes.
Actually, no sense coming from them.
That's the best.
Yeah.
I'm still working on theater...
Version of douchebag, but he hasn't quite nailed it yet.
See, in true Dvorak fashion, you're even getting the youngest member of the family to chip in.
Chip in.
Chip in, kid.
When we have the dinners, everybody is encouraging him to say douchebag in a very concise way.
Yeah, I think Child Protective Services should pay you a visit.
It's not exactly cool what's going on there, man.
It's fine.
The kids love it.
John Foley in Chicago, meanwhile, loves it with $217.33.
ITM, gents, thanks for all the entertainment and sanity you deliver each and every week.
Three years and three weeks after listening to my first episode, it's time to join the roundtable and reminisce.
After one year of listening, I gave up 2x speed and started listening at normal speed.
After two years, I could see native ads and media manipulation everywhere, and my amygdala returned to normal size.
After three years, I deleted all non-default apps from my phone and bought a ham radio.
I can't.
Yeah, we got this guy.
He's on.
We got him.
He's got a hook.
I can't quite say I'm a full OTG kind of guy, and I still wear my Apple Watch, but I finish every run with 33 miles so the bastards know I'm on to them.
Just like the guys who see my WhatsApp complaints.
Now, at the start of my fourth year, I'm wondering if it's time to jump ship, as the show has brought me to a funny convention.
No, no, no.
Read, read.
Oh, it's brought me to a furry convention.
Yes, he's in Chicago.
Yeah, well, that'll wake you up.
Regardless, Night Me Sir Jofo, The Plundering Knight.
Jingles, can I get the Fletcher Foley yell and some goat karma?
If possible, with one extra goat.
The extra goat for Sir 10T and all the other dames and knights of the Federal Reserve District 7.
Yes.
I have put a link towards, and we'll talk about it later on, towards the big Midwest Furry Convention No Agenda Meetup.
There is video, just so you know.
I'm very proud of us.
Bully!
You've got...
X or Goat, as requested, and thank you very much, and see you at the roundtable.
I look forward to it.
X or Carl with a K in Rochester, New York.
200.
Gentlemen, on Thursday's show, we received a $200 donation from Zachary McLean, who gave a nice shout-out to my podcast, WATP. Oh, that's the...
Yes, yes.
We talked about it.
Yeah.
As a thank you to him and to both of you, I'm matching his donation.
Oh, 2X. On Who Are These Podcasts, we play John and Adam's voices during the intro of every episode as a tribute to No Agenda.
That's where our admiration for other podcasts ends.
We spend each episode breaking down a podcast or two and examining why they suck.
All in good fun, of course.
I kid, I kid.
Anyways...
Listen, just let me say that, listen to our admiration for that, Baba.
Let me just say that at the end of the day, Noah Chenda, the best podcast in the universe, right?
Also, a quick hello to Sir 23, Knight of the Electric Ocean, who I met through your show.
Please place Oreos are addictive.
Shut up.
Isn't that funny?
Yeah.
Oreos are addictive.
Shut up.
It's science.
That's true and a karma.
Cheers.
Sir Carl with a K. That's your random number theory.
We go through months of no addictive Oreos and then all of a sudden two in one show.
Yep.
Funny how that works.
Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
Shut up already.
It's science.
That's true.
You've got karma.
There you go.
Who Are These Podcasts is a podcast that people should listen to.
It's very funny.
But then again, you have to lose.
They're just tearing apart a bunch of people.
Which, you know, we actually almost did something like that on this show.
Yes.
We thought better of it.
Yes.
That's the perfect way to say it.
We thought better of it.
Blake at the Pacific Northwest, $200.
$200.
ITM gents, this is my first time donating.
I need a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Biden whole load hot liquid.
My brother hit me in the mouth in small bits in the past year or two, and I began listening on my own commute and love the media deconstruction with comedic relief.
This donation will interrupt the plans he had to call me out as a douchebag.
Oh, no.
He had these plans after receiving the Screaming Goat desk toy.
I sent him as a gift.
I think I got one of these.
Yeah, I got one too.
The Screaming Goat.
They're great.
If it actually...
There it is.
I sent him as a gift note saying, douchebag on it.
He will take a jobs goat karma, please.
Keep up the good work.
Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
Blake of the Pacific Northwest.
I'm going to give you the whole load.
It was liquid.
Hot liquid.
I was soaked.
And I couldn't see.
It was coming off of my eyelashes into my eyes.
I didn't want it to be in my mouth, but it was running down my eyes.
You've got karma.
Gee, what a combo.
Okay, so I got one more here.
What, there's another one?
Another one of these?
No, just there's a note from the meetup that they also enclosed $200.
So they have to be on the executive.
Oh, yes.
This is Santa Ynez Local 805.
Cue up the de-douching jingle and a goat karma.
The Santa Ynez Valley meetup is growing in popularity.
The second local 805 meetup was tonight in Buellton.
Oh, he's got a B-U-L-Ton.
I know it's B-U-L-Ton.
B-U-L-Ton.
And features seven standard age producers and four of them associated human resources.
As with all other meetup reports, we are instantly at ease and talking about all sort of crackpot subjects and nary a trigger.
Topics range from Oklahoma City bombings to the latest light insane California laws where to find all these local gun ranges, which is good to know.
What speed multiplier we listen to on the show.
Everyone is one ex except one producer who does 1.25.
It's the sweet spot, I tell you.
There was a roughneck slash shipcom technician.
State park ranger, county firefighter, slave trader, human resources, QA technician, and of course a dude named Ben.
Listen to that group.
Stop.
Listen to that group.
The world could disintegrate around us.
You got these people in your family, in your network.
We can do anything.
There's more?
Yeah, a retired Marine and a Navy retired were both represented.
One producer came from over 70 miles away.
Marcel, producer and proprietor of the world-famous Gino's Pizza, kept us fat, drunk, and happy.
Excellent.
The place was packed, but somehow the producers' orders came out ahead of the others.
As always, the meetup was great fun, and we were already planning the next meetup.
Then he's got 200 that he collected, and there's also attached some notes.
ITM from Dame Bang Bang was there.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, Sir Andrew, keeper of the something.
I don't know.
Let's pretend I wrote something witty.
Says Dame Simona.
Dame Simona.
Dame Simona.
DH Slammer, of course.
Dame Bang Bang.
Gino's there.
Here's 12 years of making the best podcast in the universe.
Adios mofos and such.
Keeping My Sanity.
That was some guy in Buellton.
Clay or Cly or something in Dane Bang.
I said two notes.
Anyway, that was the meetup down there.
I want to thank them for producing that.
Yeah, and we have a couple more meetup reports in the second half.
Now, I think, this is, I hope that these monies come in, because, you know, people are now collecting and then sending it in.
There is a delay, you know, so sometimes you might get your meeting report, but the donation will come later, but we'll handle it just like we did this one.
And I just have to ask, did you hear from a guy, Joshua, who sent us a donation through an Australian bank transfer system?
I believe so.
Okay.
Because I know there's been some back and forth with this Australian situation.
I told him what happens.
He found some transfer system.
Right.
And he says, does it work?
I said, I don't know.
We don't know what works until you try it.
So experiment and send me updates.
Right.
So I don't know what I haven't heard from him.
Well, you might want to check your spam box or something because he's been trying to get a hold of you.
Because he says it was delivered, but you would have seen it if it came in.
I think.
Yes, I would have.
Okay, so we're on.
We're looking at it.
Some of these systems are very slow because I don't know why there's no interest at all.
Yeah, it's basically a pop money down under, I think.
But apparently it worked.
We'll get it resolved as soon as we can.
Yeah, we like that.
We like it because there's no fees, you know?
It's just boom, boom, in and out.
Although, who the hell knows?
And I would like to thank you, along with my co-host, Jean-Claude Dvorak, for all of these executive producers and associate executive producers who have helped us out and provided us the value they get from the show right back into the show itself.
It is, after all, something that you are all producing, and that's why you are the producer.
We'll be thanking more people, $50 and above, in the second half.
And I'll be back...
What is today?
Today is Thursday, right?
Yeah.
I'll be back next Thursday, the second Thursday.
What is today?
Sunday?
It's Sunday.
I knew it was Sunday!
I'm flying back home tomorrow, that's all I know.
If you'd like to support us for our next show, which will be on a Thursday, go to...
Slash N-A. And you can look smart around the water cooler you know all about COP25. Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water.
Water.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
You know, I should mention about COP25, and no one's said anything about it.
I assume it has to do with the relocation to Madrid.
But the COP25 signage behind the dais and on the stage, it says COP25 Chile, Madrid.
Oh, really?
It says Chile still?
I didn't even notice that.
Yeah, it says Chile in small letters and then Madrid in big letters like it was put on later.
Well, yeah.
Chile's going to take credit for it, I guess.
I don't know.
Somebody bought the sign and they couldn't do it.
They couldn't fix it, yeah.
Okay.
Well, there are some things.
Well, you want to talk a little bit about impeachment?
Yeah, well, first I'd like to remind everybody.
My favorite clip.
You know, I want to remind everybody, as we go into the impeachment segment, tomorrow, Monday the 9th, there will be new hearings.
But also tomorrow...
No, no, they're supposedly going to push them off to Tuesday.
Oh, I thought they were going to do it tomorrow purposefully because of the Inspector General report that's coming out, which will include...
Thousands of sealed indictments!
The TikTokers, as they're known, they're TikTokers.
People like Hannity and DeGeneva.
By the way, Media Matters has noticed that Joe DeGeneva and Victoria Toonsing have vanished from Fox.
They're no longer on the Fox business talking up the thousands of sealed indictments.
They've been deplatformed.
Well, you know, you can't keep pulling this crap that this is going to happen.
And by the way, on Wednesday, he's got too many.
He's too specific.
We have clips of him on a Monday saying on Wednesday.
Right.
But they're really gone now.
And I was thinking about these hearings and this whole thing.
I have a question.
I just need to understand one thing.
If I were in these hearings, and we all know they're really boring, and people are asking all the wrong questions, the entertainment value is 0.1.
It's just nothing of any...
CNN has lowest ratings in three years amidst their constant impeachment coverage.
But if I were asking questions, I would say, I would like to know.
Regarding this phone call that the president made with the president of Ukraine, Zelensky, why is it that the otherwise reality-based television show Veep, the vice president, uses video screens with all the world leaders, yet our president is like on a bakelite phone, and they got people writing down what he said.
Why is this?
Why don't we have the cool video screens?
Or do we?
Or is it just the president with that big phone with all the buttons on his desk?
Seriously.
Veep is a very realistic show to some degree.
Or was.
And she's always calling up world leaders on the secret closed circuit system.
It has a name.
I don't know what it is.
It's the encrypted video.
We have the president of Bolivia on the video system, ma'am.
Well, they just used all the old sets from our man Flint.
Okay.
All right.
And just on the heels of that, I would say, I do believe that the lady who had the Baron Trump joke, I think she ruined it for the Democrats.
I think she really blew it because that was the only thing that really made news.
And if you went on the street and said, hey, you know, what did you hear about the hearings?
They'll say, oh, well, that woman, you know, she shouldn't have said that.
I can't remember her name either.
Well...
But yeah, she's a terrible person.
I do have a clip of her that somebody picked up, I think, from 2003.
It's 2006.
Her name is Pamela Carlin.
We both have the same clip.
I shall play it.
The rich, pampered, prodigal, sanctimonious, incurious, white, straight sons of the powerful do pretty well everywhere in the world, and they always have.
But what about us?
Snarky, bisexual Jewish women who want the freedom to say what we think, read what we want, and love whom we do.
That's your clip.
You don't have the same one?
Well, my clip, I think, has a little better sound.
I'm not sure.
But mine has a little kicker at the end that you don't have.
Oh, hold on.
What did you name it here in your clip list?
It's that female judge of impeachment.
It's no wonder she has a problem with old white men.
Because we have more reason than they do to love America.
The rich, pampered, prodigal, sanctimonious, incurious, white, straight sons of the powerful do pretty well everywhere in the world and they always have.
But what about us?
Snarky, bisexual Jewish women who want the freedom to say what we think, read what we want, and love whom we do.
Stop yelling at me!
Well, you had a bit at the beginning, too, which I didn't have.
Yeah.
You and me, you and me, old white guys, we don't even love America.
Because we have more reason than they do to love America.
No, they have more reason.
Okay, yeah.
And who said you can't love who you want to love and say you want to read what you want to read?
You can!
There's no problem.
I know what she's talking about.
You know, she's being floated by some nutjob group as a possible...
But when Hillary Clinton wins in 2020, they'd like to see her as a Supreme Court justice.
Oh, can you imagine?
Yes.
For the show, I can only pray.
That clip that we just played, and she can't get in.
She's already screwed herself.
You can't do stuff.
You can't say this sort of thing and expect to get...
Approved.
It's not going to happen.
It was the...
Who was the group here?
Oh, Demand Justice.
Of course.
The climate change people.
Demand Justice.
All right.
Yes, so...
She made it interesting, but it was interesting outside of the actual entertainment portion that was on television the whole time.
My favorite clip is that, so we have these hearings and everything is going according to Democrats' plans and you have, you know, there's actually kind of a, I'd say, confirmation.
We're headed toward confirmation of what Al Green and Maxine Waters have wanted.
To impeach this president so he can't be re-elected, which pretty much is what they say.
But wait a minute.
Now that we're on a roll, it's not that we can't just bitch about anything we can think about.
And so what?
So Al Green has a problem.
Whoa.
Mr.
Speaker, I rise because I love my country.
And I have a problem.
But I also rise today...
With heartfelt regrets.
It hurts my heart, Mr.
Speaker, to see the Judiciary Committee hearing experts on the topic of impeachment.
One of the seminal issues of this Congress.
Hearing experts, Mr.
Speaker, and not one person of color among the experts.
What subliminal message are we sending to the world when we have experts but not one person of color?
Are we saying that there are no people of color who are experts on this topic of impeachment?
What is the message that we're sending?
Mr.
Speaker, if I am wrong, I will apologize.
But if the committee is wrong, if the Congress is wrong, what will it do?
People of color for too long have been ignored by one party and taken for granted by the other.
Too often this happens.
Not always, but too often it happens.
Mr.
Speaker, I refuse to be ignored and taken for granted.
I came here to represent the people who are ignored and taken for granted.
Not one person of color among the constitutional scholars.
It seems that there's a desire among some to have the output of people of color without input from the people of color.
Now, before we do anything, I'm going to give you clip of the day for that.
Fantastic.
That is so fantastic.
Isn't it great?
The guy who is so worried about the racists currently occupying the White House, that's how he would say it, still feels that getting rid of this horrible scourge on our democracy, even though it's the Republic, that that's less important than bitching about this.
Yeah.
But he's right.
The key there was he said, we've been ignored by one party, with that he means Republicans, and taken advantage of by the other.
No, not taken advantage, but taken for granted.
Oh, taken for granted, I'm sorry.
Same.
That's even better.
Taken for granted, yes.
The black vote is in play.
I think the black vote is, I know at least one guy whose vote is in play, I think the number of which is being floated around is 30% of the black votes in play.
That's a huge number.
If that goes independent or if it doesn't go towards the Democrats, if it goes to Republicans, it's over.
I think even 5% could sway it.
It's going to take more than that.
But if they start to bail on the Democrats, the Democrats are going to have to do something other than take the black vote for granted.
Well, they've already, from my vantage point, the Democrats have already started pandering to the new black, and that's transgender.
They've been doing that for a while.
There's not 20% of the population, that's for sure.
I know, but who said it was smart?
And then they're also pandering to the mostly Catholic Hispanics, which is very risky because a Hispanic will turn a Republican at the drop of a hat.
Very quickly.
Although, is that maybe what this is all about?
I pray for the President all the time.
Nancy Pelosi.
Oh, she's so prayerful.
Prayerful.
I'm prayerful.
I'm praying for this.
I'm praying for that.
Prayerful.
Did you see her town hall?
She did on CNN? I might have caught a piece of it.
I didn't record anything from it.
Oh, I have a...
I think I may have one Nancy clip.
I have two.
This is from the town hall she did on CNN after the whole red, white, and blue, draped in the flags, we're going to impeach, and after she yelled at the journalist, although, of course, he's from Fox, so she doesn't consider him to be a journalist.
And she did a town hall, completely set up, of course, with people reading questions the way you want to do it with Jake Tapper.
And the first question out of the gate after Jake did some back and forth is, you know, obviously, why do you want to do this?
Why do you want to impeach instead of just win at the ballot box?
Some argue that the 2020 election is a better process for removing the president from office.
What made you decide to continue with impeachment proceedings despite it being so close to the election?
All kids think like that and speak like that, of course.
That's a whole year and a couple more months for the president to be in office.
And I appreciate your question.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
One of the things that the president did was to undermine, jeopardize the integrity of our elections by asking a foreign power to intervene.
You know what the ask was.
To announce an investigation into his potential rival.
This is interesting and important.
The narrative has shifted ever so slightly, ever so slightly, from the phone call and requesting the investigation into the Bidens, although he actually, the favor he asked for, where he specifically said favor, according to the transcript, according to the Mueller report, as reported by the Drudge Report.
He said, hey, look into this 2016 thing.
It seems like the corrupt government of Ukraine was complicit.
There's also some server.
Do me a favor.
And then later on, it's actually the Ukrainian president who starts about the corruption, and then Trump talks about Biden.
But this has shifted now to the ask.
You know what the ask was.
The reason she says, you know what the ask was, is because she doesn't actually want to explain it.
I think she doesn't want to mess it up or whatever.
You know what the ask was.
And then she goes into it very briefly.
This is new.
And this is the new mistake.
That Trump made is he wanted President Zelensky of Ukraine to go on television and make a big deal about Joe Biden.
That is now, and listen, I'll play it again, but that is now what they're going after.
...our elections by asking a foreign power to intervene, you know what the ask was, to announce an investigation into his potential rival...
To announce.
You know what the ask was.
So she even cut herself off at the intervene.
This is very, very weak.
And if he isn't stopped from doing that, he will continue.
He invited intervention to come on in.
The intelligence community says they're completely certain that the Russians disrupted our election in 2016.
Hanging out with Sandy Ocasio-Cortez too much.
That they are 24-7 doing it all the time.
And so when the president is saying, well, the Ukrainians actually did it, you know, their conspiracy theory and the rest, that has to be stopped.
Because what the president, one of his grievances, his offenses, is that he was jeopardizing the integrity of our election, and we could not let him continue to do that without holding him accountable for it.
It's very weak.
It's really.
It's thin.
It's really, really thin.
But that's the new, new narrative that I got from the town hall.
They're going to have to figure out what they're doing, because they seem to be a little rudderless.
A little?
Well, they seem to be rudderless, and it's...
You get the sense that the Nadler and the Schiff are arguing with her constantly about how to go about this, but she's the boss, technically, and so she's going to...
Well, Pelosi has her own issues now with Ukraine.
And I have to say, OAN, One American News, they've decided to start kicking some ass.
And I'm not...
I still really don't...
I mean, I think they're Christian faith-based, I think, is their deal.
Yeah, definitely.
And it's a family-owned.
But they are going after...
Well, the issues that we've discussed and we've played clips and we've had many discussions about.
And...
They really see eye to eye, at least with me, I think with you as well, about all of that was going on with Ukraine and this gravy train that everybody was on.
Now we have to go back to 2000, what was it, 2012?
I don't remember now.
14.
When we basically co-opted the entire government, we determined who was going to be in the government with a coup with snipers who were killing people, killing the Ukrainian cops and security forces with snipers.
John McCain was hanging out with ISIS people in Ukraine.
Brennan was over there handing out donuts.
It was a Brennan operation.
It was a total CIA operation.
It was the worst they've ever done.
It's embarrassing how bad it was, particularly when Victoria Nuland's phone call was taped and distributed.
And leaked by the Russians.
Yes, where she said, F the EU. Um...
But this gravy train is starting to come off the rails, and One America News is all over Paul Pelosi Jr., who was one of Paul Sr.
and Nancy's sons, who, of course, had a cushy little gig with the Ukrainian oil company.
The House Intelligence Committee wrapped up its public impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill, but another story continues to unfold surrounding the son of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
While the Ukraine scandal revealed the Biden family's ties to the country, the less-told story surrounding Paul Pelosi Jr.
is still unraveling on the sidelines following revelations that he was a board member of the Ukraine oil company Vyskoil, an executive for NRG Lab.
America's Rachel Hassan has caught up with journalist Patrick Cowley, who's been covering the story of the House Speaker's son.
Take a look.
I wanted to follow up with you because you've been covering this Paul Pelosi Jr.
story.
We now know that two major Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, have sons with business connections in Ukraine.
And we just went through that public impeachment hearing centered around that Ukraine phone call between President Zelensky and President Trump.
How do you think the Paul Pelosi Jr.
story plays into this Democrat-led impeachment effort?
I think it's clear that Democrats and also establishment Republicans, people of the political class, were using Ukraine as their own personal piggy bank by putting their family members on the boards of companies to act as surrogates.
This is total quid pro quo.
Foreign aid, I believe, was used in order to grease this foreign country, Ukraine, in order to advantage the private sector business deals that were being done by these Democrats.
What specifically do you think should happen next when it comes to Paul Pelosi Jr.
and Nancy Pelosi?
I believe that Republicans in Congress have subpoena power and they're not using it.
I think Republicans are in defense during this entire impeachment process when President Trump is out there saying, look, I'm exposing the corruption.
I'm exposing the private sector business deals, the cronyism that was going on in Ukraine, the corruption.
And in fact, by law, the United States is supposed to help Ukraine clean up their corruption.
And so this is all a diversion in order for the Democrats to ameliorate themselves of these private sector, very shady And I like that he said it properly.
He said, Democrats and Republicans.
And it's exactly what they're accusing Trump of.
And this is not just Ukraine, but this was the bungled, botched operation where they just said, oh, we're going to give you all kinds of military aid.
We're going to give this to you.
We have the power.
We're Article 1, Nancy.
But, you know, can you hook my son up?
And then John Kerry's kid, Biden's kid, Pelosi's kid.
Are you kidding me?
They all had their hand in the cookie jar.
And I'm sure the Never Trumpers...
It just seems like this has got the...
In the olden days, this has the New York Times, the LA Times, the Washington...
This has the...
The big boys should be all over this story.
This...
Thank you.
This is your All the President's Men.
This is your Bernstein and Woodward and Hogwarts.
Those guys should be all over this.
You're so right.
You're so right.
But I have a little more evidence of this new, new narrative because they have this bit of a problem.
The New York Times started this.
The New York Times really wrote the article, the current narrative Bible, that said, and this gets funny, that, you know, so the real ask here, as you just heard Nancy say, the ask was for the president of Ukraine to make a public announcement that he's going to investigate Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and for all of this horrible corruption that's been going down, and that's what it was.
And the New York Times wrote something extra.
They said that the plan was to have the president of Ukraine announce this on the CNN show GPS with Fareed Zakaria.
Now, we all know Fareed.
Fareed is the Indian Pakistani of origin.
I don't know if he's Indian or Pakistani.
I'll look it up.
Yeah.
And he's a globalist.
He is...
He wants the Constitution to be repealed.
That's right.
He feels the Constitution is stupid.
Should get rid of it.
It's no good.
And he got pulled into this.
And all of a sudden, they're telling him, like, yeah, he was supposed to do it on your show.
So Fareed Zakaria, who I think his show...
I don't know when it airs in the US, but I saw this here on CNN Internacional, and it made me smile.
The phrase quid pro quo is usually translated as something for something.
In the case of President Trump's communications with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, it appears that the quo was supposed to have been a declaration of his commitment to undertake investigations into the 2016 election, as well as Joe and Hunter Biden.
The New York Times has reported that a public announcement was set to be made on my CNN program.
So I think I owe viewers my best understanding of what actually happened.
Can you imagine?
Oh, now I have to go and make this come true?
With my best understanding of what happened?
Okay, New York Times, here we go!
Ever since Zelensky was elected president in April, my team and I have been interested in having him appear on the show.
We began the process of establishing connections with the new administration, which was cordial and efficient throughout.
On September 13th, I met with Zelensky in Kiev on the sidelines of a conference I was participating in.
And let's stop right there.
Normally, a normal show would never even think about it.
But he said, I met him while I was participating at a conference.
Oh, this is Ukraine.
John, where's the donors from Ukraine?
There's nothing but good stuff happening there.
Everybody's in on this.
I looked it up.
This is the Viktor Pinchuk Foundation, which held six public lectures on the occasion of the 16th annual YES meeting.
That is the Yalta European Strategy.
This is the...
And this guy's pro-EU, of course.
And he wanted to...
He wants to get Ukraine into the European Union.
And indeed...
Public lecture, Western Decline, China's Rise, and a New World Order by Fareed Zakaria, host of Fareed Zakaria's GPS, Friday, September 13th.
So, yes, he was getting paid.
He's on the train.
Who is this, Victor Pinchuk?
Well, would you believe it if I told you he was a big pipeline baron?
Nah, that would be too crazy, wasn't it?
More people sucking off the oil teat of Ukraine.
Way to go, guys.
Way to go.
He came across as smart, energetic, and with a much sharper feel for politics than you might expect from a neophyte.
He came across as smart, energetic, and with a much sharper feel for politics than you might expect from a neophyte.
Of course, you know, I'm so used to the real politicians.
We really understand how you're supposed to do these things.
But this neophyte wasn't too bad for a comedian.
It was a brief conversation, but we did discuss most of the big issues he faces.
Ukraine's relations with Russia, the U.S., economic reform and corruption.
We also talked about whether he wanted to do the interview in English, which he speaks well, or Ukrainian.
I left with the sense that all was well.
Zelensky had perhaps seemed a bit distracted, but I assume this was because of the many challenges he faced.
See, this is the color that he's adding.
Well, you know, now that you mention it in New York Times, he did seem a bit distracted.
Maybe because he was thinking, oh boy, this is the show I'm going to announce the Biden corruption scandal on.
Yes, he did seem distracted.
It's a testament to Zelensky's skill that he did not let on in any way the immense pressure he was under.
Maybe he wasn't under any pressure, but okay, let's put it that way.
Amazing how the neophyte was able to fool me, Fareed Zakaria, the man who does speeches about the New World Order.
It was surprising that he just...
As we now know, for months the Trump White House had been mounting an intense campaign to force him to publicly announce those investigations.
He had tried to resist and put them off in various ways, but ultimately decided he would have to give in according to The Times.
According to the Times.
There was no ask.
He didn't ask Zakaria, can I talk about this?
It never came up, but okay.
His team apparently concluded that since he was planning an interview with me anyway, that would be the forum in which he would make the announcement.
Though neither he nor any of his team ever gave us any inkling of that.
However, after my meeting with him in Kiev, my team had begun to discuss the potential logistics of the interview with his team, time and place.
But the ground had already begun to shift.
Just imagine Zelensky's dilemma.
By the time I met with him in Kiev, he knew the aid had been released, but the backstory had not yet broken into public view.
So this makes even less sense.
So the aid had already been released, he knew the aid had been released, but somehow he was under enormous pressure to still mention this?
I mean, I thought he was supposed to mention it before the aid was released.
Isn't that how it goes?
Isn't that what quid pro quo is?
What?
Yeah, that's what it is.
It had been released, but the backstory had not yet broken into public view.
Ukrainian officials I spoke to about the release of the aid at the time were delighted but a little surprised and unsure as to what had happened.
Zelensky and his team were probably still trying to figure out whether they should still do the interview.
A few days later, on September 18th and 19th, the Washington Post broke the story wide open.
The interview was called off.
We are, of course, still trying to get it.
Well, there's only one thing I can say about that.
Bullshit!
So Zakaria is an Indian, a Muslim Indian.
You don't have to say it with such disdain.
Well, he's a Muslim Indian because, well, I didn't mean to say it with disdain.
And I probably would be inclined to think he's a Muslim Indian.
He's an atheist because he went to Yale and then Harvard.
It's pretty hard to be religious.
And he was busted for this.
He got his PhD from Harvard in government studies, which is dubious.
He's on the board of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Oh, yeah.
He's no globalist.
But the thing that's interesting to me...
Is that he was busted for plagiarism.
Yes, several times, I think.
Yeah, he's a plagiarist.
And then it's like, I know people that have been busted for plagiarism, and there's different ways of getting around it.
We discuss it on the show.
But six days, I'm going to read from the wiki page.
Six days later, after a review of his research notes and years of prior commentary, Time and CNN reinstated Zakaria.
Time described the incident as, I don't know, isolated.
It's not intentional.
And CNN found nothing that...
What it says to me is somebody said, hey, this guy's working there for a reason.
Put him back in there.
We don't care what you think.
Well, the New York Times didn't give him a heads up.
He was caught flat-footed on this.
It was actually longer.
I cut out some irrelevant bits.
But he just was talking around the subway.
Basically...
He's like, he has no...
He can't really back up the claim.
Didn't look nervous.
The guy was funny.
Didn't come up.
Then he didn't do it.
Cancel the interview.
Yet this is the big ask that Nancy Pelosi apparently is basing the impeachment, the articles of impeachment on.
Well, they're going to have...
I don't know how they're going to pull this off.
The real problem the Democrats have...
Is that they are corrupt and stealing money?
Well, besides the fact that they're a corrupt operation stealing money, taxpayer money, when you start seeing what this real source is, are taxpayer money.
That's why they get rich in office.
But insofar as the impeachment, the technicalities of the impeachment are concerned, if they actually go through with it, or they voted in, they may not vote it in.
I mean, it's possible some Democrats will have a clue.
Mm-hmm.
They will have pushed this over to the Senate right during the period where many of the senators that would be involved in the trial have to be on the road promoting themselves for president nominee for the Democrat Party.
Yeah, the timing could not be worse.
The timing is bad for them.
It's good for Hillary.
Yes, it's very good for Hillary.
It's just a matter of waiting.
It's all happening.
It's all happening.
Anyway, as a side...
What's the word I'm looking for?
Not even a side note, but something because of all of this coup d'etat in 2014, it was 2014 actually, the role that Joe Biden played, just the whole coup that took place.
Forget about the corruption, just the coup that took place thanks to corruption.
Turned Russia eastwards, in particular with their pipelines.
And just six days ago, Vladimir Putin participated in the official opening of the Power of Siberia natural gas pipeline to Asia, servicing China.
This is one of the most intricate pipeline projects that has ever been undertaken and completed.
It goes through Russia's eastern Siberia, north of Mongolia to the border with China, 2,200 kilometers across Russia's east territories.
It can withstand temperatures to minus 62 degrees centigrade.
raid.
It can withstand earthquakes, and it connects up to, I mean, there's two underwater pipelines under the Amur River, and it connects to the Chinese gas pipeline going into Shanghai.
I mean, this, and it just opened.
Gas is flowing.
And, you know, they're going to start with 38 billion cubic meters a year, but they believe that they can crank that up to double that amount by 2025.
So good work, everybody.
Good work.
Yeah, well, you can blame the Democrats on this one.
Because they've been trying to get Russia and the United States.
Not just Democrats.
It's Congress.
It's the whole kit and caboodle.
If the good guys weren't involved in this one, they're involved in something else.
That's the real message.
It's all shit.
The thing that in the 70s happened, which when Nixon opened China, the idea was to get China...
And Russia to split so they weren't allies in any real way.
So we're supposed to be doing all this business with China and now they're our buddies and we let that go a little too far.
And it's always been the idea that you don't want China and Russia to be big time allies in case something, you know, some kinetic war breaks out and those two guys are together.
It's like...
It's pretty much impossible to beat them.
Well, now they are literally connected, and it looks like about 10% of China's natural gas requirements are now being provided by Russia.
I'm sure we didn't have...
Was that on...
Did Democracy Now!
cover that, or the NewsHour, or did anyone bother to look at the implications of that?
Let me think.
Don't hurt your brain.
No, of course not.
Well, it's a bad situation.
Yeah.
And I would still blame Pelosi.
You got anything else on the impeachment stuff?
I don't really have a lot.
I have...
Let me take a look at my list.
Oh, you just hit your bell.
Well, while you're looking, I do have...
Someone sent me this.
Whenever Rudy Giuliani is on TV, I tend to switch.
And we've been programmed.
Like, ah, there's that bumbling fool.
But of course if you think about in terms of how the president thinks of him as one of the greatest crime fighters Of our time which has some validity When you hear him rambling, but kind of you know after we've gone through a year at least of a little more detail about what happened in Ukraine And then you know you hear what Giuliani was actually discussing with people.
It's short, but it makes sense I investigated all of this and Starting in November of 2018, and I finished it by March 28, 2019.
Now, why is that significant?
The Ukrainians brought me substantial evidence of Ukrainian collusion with Hillary Clinton, the DNC, George Soros, George Soros' company.
They put it in my lap.
They came and gave me testimony.
This is under oath.
It's signed under penalties of perjury by Victor Shulkin.
He's more than willing to come to America and testify before Congress and point the finger at Joe Biden and his son and basically support what the president said.
It's no wonder that Saturday Night Live makes consistent fun of this guy.
He's dangerous to a lot of people.
Yeah, yeah, he's got that, he's got the...
He's like a hanging judge mentality within a district attorney's body.
Or what's left of one.
And he likes to go after people.
That's what he's always done.
Semi-ruthless according to people who have been involved with any of his targeting.
Yes.
Okay.
Well, we'll see what happens.
I think they're making a mistake by attacking him.
Well, this has been non-stop.
They're trying to get him thrown in jail.
I do have the Pelosi clip, the weird accusations clip where she's just mumbling and bumbling.
I don't know what the hell she's saying half the time, which was part of the press conference.
Only a 32-second clip.
Our democracy is what is at stake.
The President leaves us no choice but to act, because he is trying to corrupt, once again, the election for his own benefit.
The President has engaged in abuse of power, undermining our national security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections.
His actions are in defiance of the vision of our founders.
And the oath of office that he takes to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
She says, she slips into stuff.
These guys do this all the time.
They slip in little gems.
And what she slipped in on that one was he's once again trying to corrupt the election.
Yeah.
Once again.
As if he did already once, but he didn't.
It was the Mueller report.
Pretty much said he didn't.
But they keep hanging their hat on the Russian Mueller report nonsense.
And they just keep doing it.
They never let up.
Well, they have to because...
Somewhere, it has to come back to Ukraine's involvement with CrowdStrike and the server, which was the real ask that Trump had, do us a favor, was about that.
So they have to continuously say, and that was just before I left for the lowlands, that was the talking point was...
Really?
Really, Ukraine?
That's Russian disinformation, man.
Don't you know that's disinformation?
That's been debunked.
It's a conspiracy theory.
It's Russian disinformation.
So they have to keep that going, and the only proof they have is by saying, the entire intelligence community agrees.
No, it was really only one.
It was really only the director of national intelligence who agreed.
The other 16 agencies actually said, well, we didn't really sign off on it like that, but okay.
So they have to keep it going.
But I mean, the timing of it is flabbergasting to me.
I mean, it also gives Trump so much time.
A whole year.
He could burn them all.
And then go into the election.
That's stupid.
I just don't under...
It can only be panic moves.
It's not...
There's no rhyme or reason to how they're going about this.
No.
No, they seem to be...
Yeah, panic may be what's going on.
It has to be.
Podcasts are the best thing in the universe, of course.
I can say that.
I'm just one of the inventors.
Because you get people to say stuff on podcasts that's just fantastic.
You never hear it on mainstream.
Our friend, the Mooch, Anthony Scaramucci, he has a podcast.
Did you know he does his own podcast?
I heard about this.
About the podcast?
Yeah.
I have not heard the podcast.
It's called Mooch and the Mrs.
He does it with his wife, which is very funny.
And he brings in a guest, Dylan Howard...
He is Australian entertainment journalist who is the vice president and chief content officer at American Media.
He oversees Us Weekly, OK, Star, InTouch, Lifestyle, Closer, National Examiner, Radar Online, National Acquirer, I mean, The Globe.
He is the ratmeister of all meisters.
And they're talking about Epstein.
Epstein, murder or suicide?
I've got to think murder.
And I do believe that he was acting as a foreign agent of a foreign government.
Setting all these people up.
Setting people up.
I've actually seen photos inside his New York penthouse.
There is one room that is lined with industrial-sized Xerox machines.
Next to it is a room that has a bunch of cameras, screens.
So every room was being taped.
Everything, every person was being watched and listened to.
I believe he was acting as an agent of a foreign government in a classic honey-trap system.
When did all those tapes come out, Tim?
Someone has them then, right?
Does the FBI have them?
The FBI theoretically should have them.
So too should local authorities in Palm Beach County where he had a house.
In Florida, there is a law called the Sunshine Law, which means that you can get access to every police record.
I sought those tapes.
Now, according to the local authorities, they don't exist.
And as part of the book that's coming out in December called Epstein, Dead Men Tell No Tales, we speak to a former Palm Beach police officer who now has asylum in Russia who says that he's in possession of all of the Jeffrey Epstein tapes that were recorded.
And New York or just the Palm Beach?
Just Palm Beach.
Well, there's got to be really salacious tapes then.
You would imagine.
If what he says is true, and that these tapes exist, and that they are encrypted and they're in Russia, this guy fears for his life, that's why he's been given asylum.
Well, that means Vladimir Putin has those tapes.
Exactly right.
And so that could be, you know...
Could be some people on those tapes.
I mean, we see pictures of President Trump with them.
One thing I can assure you is I can say for certainty that MI5 is concerned that Prince Andrew is caught on tapes and that those tapes are in the hands of the Russians.
Compromise!
Well, that would explain the bum's rush.
Yeah.
Prince Andrew's been given after he tried to get himself out of a pickle by being on a couple of these interview shows, and then now the royal family's just shipped him to Siberia.
Supposedly we should not hear from him again ever.
Well, I'm trying to see how I can word this.
I got a note from one of our producers.
Yeah.
And this producer travels around the world, and this producer was at a, like a Miss contest of a different country, so not Miss America, maybe one that would lead up to the universe.
And Prince Andrew...
Uh, was there.
And he immediately tried to get rid of his security detail and was saying to the girls, hey, you know, you can come and stay at Buckingham Palace with me.
He was trying to hook up with him.
And no success, because of course, Gilay Maxwell wasn't around to help him out.
Uh, but the Randy Andy thing, I mean, he's a sleaze.
The guy's a total douche bucket.
Um...
And so, yeah, I think you make a good point.
It's like, oh, we really got to clean up some tracks here.
I just love that the Mooch does that on his podcast.
I mean, it could be total fake news.
I don't know.
I like it, though.
It's good podcast material.
It's like the tweet that's been going around some woman who talked about...
Ghislaine Maxwell giving Clooney a blowjob.
I was going to bring this up.
Tiffany Fitzhenry, who does decent reporting, she did a search for George Clooney on WikiLeaks, came up with...
What was she saying here?
She came up with...
Interesting results, what she thought was most interesting and wrote about, and I put the article in the show notes, 276 global intelligence files that mention George Clooney by name.
1,507 Sony emails that document and mention George Clooney.
That's expected, of course.
But there's 98 DNC emails, 26 Podesta emails.
But this Global Intelligence, which is Stratfor, which is the Spooks for Hire outfit in Austin.
We got a lot of them.
276 Global Intelligence files.
And I've linked to it in the show notes.
It is quite fun to see.
And the one that she's getting all the attention for is the one...
So it's not just a tweet.
It's from the intelligence files.
I'll read it.
Ghislaine joked that maybe I should keep it open.
I might find a suitable husband before I get any older.
Always the instigator of a good joke, but unable to take one herself.
She didn't like it when poked back that it was her...
That it was more in her recent taste of men since she loved to brag about her rendezvous with various lovers.
Once she came back giddy as a schoolgirl with an explosion of news with all the build-up and excitement.
You'd think she was the next crown princess she was so excited, but she had actually given George Clooney a blowjob in the bathroom at some random event.
She never let that one down.
So you take Clooney with his satellites, you take Clooney with all the things he's doing.
We've been saying it on this show for years.
George Clooney is a spy.
Now there's a sentence that needs a bit of qualification.
Wow, I've never even heard the original for that.
I thought I was playing the jingle.
Wow.
Did we lose the jingle?
I don't know.
What do you mean, we?
Damn it!
This is what I meant.
George Clooney!
Is a spy!
Big build-up.
Big fail.
Way to go, Curry.
Damn it.
So, yeah.
Tiffany Fitzhenry.
She's pretty interesting.
Yeah, well, of course, there's another story that's going to go into the dumper because it doesn't have enough to do with Trump.
Yeah, exactly.
More Trump!
I'm going to show myself all by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
And we do have a few people to thank for show 1197.
We will thank them now.
Starting with Eric Arsjoe, I guess.
He's Swedish.
He's in Stockholm.
Let me see.
Came here with $199.99.
We're going to bump him up.
You're going to make him an associate exec?
Yeah, because it seems that's like a...
That's like a currency conversion thing.
Yeah, that's what it looks like to me.
Okay.
Dude named Ralph comes in right after that at $127.41 from Miami, Florida.
Colin Preston, $127.41.
No jingles, no karma.
Tim Esau.
Esau.
Esau.
You know, we had a politician with that last name.
I think it was Esau.
Esau.
And Tiggert.
He's over there with the Granite Duke.
In Oregon, yeah.
$123.45.
And he's also in Local 33, which is...
This is...
I don't know what this is.
Local 33 donation swap for credit to another local 33.
Ah, okay.
Hold on a second.
This is where I knew this would fail.
Damn it.
Hold on.
What's the...
Okay.
They did a meetup and they did donation swap, but this...
See, this is what's so confusing.
Because I think they did that on the spot.
And then the idea was, because I asked about it, I got an email, the donation swap is everyone donated money, they threw that into a bucket, and then they pulled it out.
And then, so you might have done $10, you could get $5, or you could get $50.
That was kind of their Christmas Secret Santa idea, which was interesting, but I thought it was all going to come in as one donation, and now I see it's already been split up.
So...
You've got to be careful when you do it.
I don't care.
I want people to get credit properly and it's not going to work this way if someone then sends in their swap.
You know what I mean?
Not really.
We'll just read it as is.
We'll deal with it.
It will be fixed with a memo.
Somehow.
Surup's next and he's up in Seattle, Washington.
$102.50.
He's calling it the flu donation since I have the flu.
His temperature is 102.
25.
Sorry.
I don't think that's going to catch on.
Juan Francisco Lara Maya I don't know.
He needs jobs karma.
Give it to him at the end.
It's $100 from him.
Thanks, Juan.
Baron Walkman of Buckeye 8008 Sir Hashtag Uh, in Yarmouth, Maine, 74.
Cassidy Eastwood, 6667.
Brian Pearson, 6666.
Uh, Aaron Cornell, or Carell, Aaron Carell, 60.
Uh, Luke Phat from Iowa, 5555.
Dajon Katic?
That's an Eastern European name.
It could be pronounced.
Yeah, he's from Russia.
He wants to see how Dvorak will butcher my name.
Can I try it?
Dejankatic.
I'm wondering.
Sergeant Postal in Miami Lake, Florida, 5533.
Ryan Smith in Raleigh, North Carolina, 5510.
Matthew Durney, 5432.
Charles Quinn, 5280.
Ah, the Mile High Donation.
Oh, we forgot all about that.
Used to have that as a regular donation.
Hans Lukes in Brooklyn.
Now, Hans says, thanks for the fantastic show.
Two Thursdays a week.
My friend Joe Arco tried to hit me in the mouth years ago.
I finally gave in this August.
Now I'm out here swinging wildly, hoping to hit a few more in my wake.
Oh, so it's not a deducing.
And besides, he didn't ask for it.
Okay.
Thank you, Hans.
Swing away in Brooklyn.
$50.33 from Hans.
Hmm.
Sir Sage of Whiskey Flats, $50.01.
He's also the Baron of Minnesota, I think.
Yeah, well, he would like to...
I think this was the email that went back and forth.
He would like to know how to claim a protectorate.
Ah.
Which is a good question, because people think that you have to do that and it's announced again.
You're in charge of all that.
I just produce this stuff.
What are we doing with that?
Yes.
Yes.
How does it work?
It will be addressed.
It will be addressed in the next meeting of the Peerage Committee.
It will result in a memo, by the way.
Okay, another memo.
Damn it.
Edward Mazurik in Memphis, Tennessee, 50.
Jonathan Meyer in Xenia, Ohio, 50.
These are all $50 donors.
I'll just read their names and locations.
Michael Welsh in North someplace New York.
North Mass something.
Larry Hay in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Tony Smith in Fort Worth, Texas.
Baroness Monica in Dayton, Alberta.
Valley or something in Alberta.
Can I stretch this box out?
It's Drayton Valley.
Yeah, there it is.
I got it.
It's North...
Massapequa for our friend Michael.
Yes, Drayton Valley, Alberta.
James Martin in Beaverton, Oregon.
Portland Local 33, part of the Portland Local 33 group.
And by the way, Baroness Monica says she really enjoys the shows lately.
Lately.
Okay.
Lately.
Well, good.
So I want to thank all these people for producing show 1197 and helping us get it off the ground.
Yeah, and I want you to know that all of you also are execs and associate execs, but also people who come in under 50.
A lot of that's for anonymity, but people are on the programs.
Get on the program, people.
It's good to have a sustaining donorship, and we appreciate it.
It can be quite low.
It can be $5 a month, but go to Dvorak.org to find out.
In just three shows, it'll be our 1200th episode.
If we did a show every single day, that would be, what, three and a half years, non-stop.
So, don't even count the hours.
But this experiment has been working.
We've been keeping it together.
We never had to drop a show.
We were never able to go to a third show.
We've been just making the best damn podcast in the universe, and we've done it with donations in our value-for-value model today.
Considering you, producers, and not listeners.
You're producers.
And that has been the idea.
This idea has been tried by many.
And we've looked at Sam Harris, who has an incredibly successful podcast, he says.
I mean, it's always number one, two, three, somewhere in the charts.
Whatever that means, it's deemed a very successful podcast.
We saw him pivot from advertising-based to donation-based.
You remember?
We played it on the show.
Sam Harris.
Yep.
I'm going to go to advertising.
Well, it didn't work out so well for Sam.
And he made quite some blanket statements, and I would like to share them during this donation segment so that you can feel good about what you've been doing with your production.
Okay, so I have an announcement to make about a change to the podcast going forward.
Okay.
As most of you know, the show has relied on audience support for several years, ever since I realized I was allergic to running ads.
But it's finally become clear to me that the support model is broken, probably in principle.
The ad model is also broken, but for very different reasons.
First, let me say that those of you who have been supporting the podcast are total heroes.
You are the reason why I've been able to grow it into the platform it's become.
So I want to thank you for that.
I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to have you.
And I doubt there's a podcaster out there for whom the support model has worked.
John?
Has it been working for you?
Well, it works for us.
It works for Jen Briney.
Yeah, it works for the Grimerica guys.
And the Grimerica guys, it works for a number of podcasts, if you do it correctly.
Yes.
Better.
But it still isn't working the way that I'd hoped.
The percentage of people who support the show has never climbed beyond the single digits.
And I now have several years of data on this.
This is fantastic.
Never climbed out of the single digits.
Dude, you should be lucky if it's 2%.
If it's 2%, you're lucky.
Does this guy...
What does he think?
He doesn't have any experience in the field, obviously.
He says he's several years in the field, but he's going to...
He's just going by his own.
He doesn't do any research.
You should know that 2% is a huge number.
Yeah.
Uh...
I guess if your audience is only 1,000 people, 2% is what?
20 people?
Yeah.
That's still for 1,000 people, you get 20 people.
Small churches that have a congregation size of perhaps...
A thousand to two thousand people do very well for themselves.
Well, but they're also guilted right there in front of everybody to put money into the basket.
If we could come to your house, we would!
...has never climbed beyond the single digits, and I now have several years of data on this.
There seems to be some law of behavioral economics at work here.
I mean, seriously, do five seconds of Googling.
So those of you who have supported the show are true outliers, and that's awesome.
But the psychological reality is that we've all grown used to an Internet that is almost entirely subsidized by ads.
And the negative effects of the ad model are now legion.
It has undermined our politics.
It has nearly destroyed journalism.
It has given us clickbait and insane privacy violations and cancel culture.
It is true to say that almost everything that is wrong with our digital lives and much that's now wrong with our society can be traced to this business model.
No, I agree with him there.
That's totally all on board with that.
And of course, I've talked about this in several episodes of the podcast, and the problem isn't going away anytime soon.
And one insidious consequence of the ad model that is especially relevant here is that it has anchored everyone to the expectation that most digital content should be free, or nearly free.
See, I think this is where he's just wrong, you know?
This is...
Not everybody thinks the way you do.
It's not true.
There's legion people out there.
Forever.
And every content creator who tries to build a business without ads feels this force of gravity.
John, do you feel the gravity?
Do you feel it bringing you down?
That's probably from sitting in a squeaky chair, not because of anything else.
Pulling everything down to zero.
And I can now say from experience that even real success down this path terminates in a broken business model.
No, it's not broken.
So, I'm changing the model.
Here we go.
If you start with a broken idea and you do it half-assed...
Exactly.
What was he doing?
I don't know.
He never explains the details of how much he actually brought in.
No, of course not.
No.
He didn't do it right.
But he has a solution, which is the shittiest ever.
path terminates in a broken business model.
So I'm changing the model and turning the Making Sense podcast into a subscription service.
For non-subscribers, beginning with this episode, all episodes of the podcast will be half episodes.
So non-subscribers will get the first part of the conversation, but they won't get the And the first part won't be edited in a way that makes it seem sufficient.
It won't be sufficient.
The point is that if you really care about listening to this podcast, you'll need to subscribe through my website.
I give him 18 months before he's running ads again.
Now, a couple of things about that idea.
First of all, it introduces a Information that only some people receive, but always gets referred to.
Yes.
Problematic.
Very problematic.
You know, so you're talking about something, and it also causes a problem, especially with the two of us, where did we talk about it in the second half?
Is that a second half information?
I can't even remember what day of the week it is.
As proven earlier.
Now, that model would work, and we've never done it, but it would work on the DH Unplugged show.
For the stock picks.
Yeah, it's a different kind of show.
Yeah, and you could do stock picks that you had to pay to listen to.
Right.
And that would make sense.
We just never implemented that idea, but it would make sense there.
But it doesn't make sense in an information, pure information show like this or any other, anybody's show, including especially his.
And it becomes exclusive, which really annoys people.
But you know what the mistake is?
So, let's say he...
I'll be really...
I'll be very generous.
Let's say he has 3%.
He said the single digits, so I don't know.
I'll just say...
It doesn't matter.
5%.
5% are your producers.
So now you're going to cut off everybody else.
So 95% of the people who were listening could have been potential supporters, can hit people in the mouth, can give you ideas, can give you feedback.
He is just saying, F you, you don't count.
Although, and I didn't clip this, he said...
If you can't afford it, send me an email.
We'll give you a year for free.
Like he's a pharmaceutical company or something.
Yeah, that's very patronizing.
Insulting, yeah.
Well, good luck with that.
I don't know.
We could talk about this kind of thing forever, but I think we should maybe move on to some interesting topics.
Like, for example...
Well, I have a nighting, and we have a meet-up report.
We actually have business to do.
We do have some business to do.
So anyway, my point was, thank you very much for sticking with the model, because it is working for us.
Look, We're not driving Ferraris.
We don't buy houses in Beverly Hills.
I think he has a nice house.
But, you know, we're doing a show with you and we're happy about it.
And please support us for the next one, which will be just the only three more to go before episode 1200.
All right, I have two nightings here.
We don't have any birthdays, which is interesting.
It doesn't happen very often that we have zero birthdays.
Also, we have no title changes, but we do need...
I thought I saw a birthday in there somewhere.
No, I got no birthday.
In the spreadsheet?
Of course, or in the email.
I'm not sure.
No, because it would have been yellow on the spreadsheet, which I don't see.
Yeah, no, I know this is not on the spreadsheet.
No, there's nothing in the email.
Well, if there's one, we'll make good.
We absolutely will.
But for now, let's get some knights up here.
Hello?
Do you have a blade?
Yeah, I got a big one.
I got the big one.
Is that the big blade?
You're just happy to see me.
Paul Yossi and John Foley.
Both of you stepping up here, gentlemen.
You, too, are about to be inducted into that club.
It is the club of the No Agenda Knights and Dames.
We sit here at the round table.
We have all kinds of goodies to munch on, so to speak.
And I hereby am very proud for your contribution and $1,000 or more to the No Agenda Show to pronounce the K-U, Sir Paul, Knight of the Command Line, and Sir Jofo, the Plundering Knight.
Gentlemen, for you, we've got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
We have coffee and baileys, we have cookies and vodka.
We've got pog and poi, rabbit meat and goat milk, cowgirls and coffin barners, breast milk and papham, ginger ale and gerbils, bong hits and bourbon, and, of course, mutton and mead.
If you just go to noagendanation.com slash rings, Eric the Shield will take your information.
We'll get those rings out, too.
These are real signet rings.
You get sealing wax and, of course, a certificate, and you can send official No Agenda Nation correspondence, and eventually you can get your peerage and claim your protectorate when you get up to the baron status.
And thank you again for supporting your podcast, the best podcast in the universe.
All right, meetups.
It's like a little party.
This is where the human resources of Gitmo Nation come together and have human interaction at a basic level.
And it works extremely well.
People enjoy it.
You heard it earlier in our first segment.
And I need to immediately tell you off the bat that the Austin No Agenda Local 512 meetup is happening today at 2 o'clock.
The show will barely be over by then.
This will be at Doc's Backyard in Sunset Valley.

January 9th, Beirut, Lebanon.
This is a real meetup?
Jesse Coy Nelson, as it turns out, who does a lot of our No Agenda end-of-show mixes, is a traveling teacher.
He has been in Korea for the past couple of months, and he still does a mix almost every show.
He's doing Beirut, and he says a couple more coming up, some of the more interesting places, so we'll give you details as they come along, noagendameetups.com.
Also, the 25th of January, Moscow, Russia.
Mokba!
That'd be great.
Wouldn't you just want to go to that?
Holy crap.
It'd be so nice.
Thank you to...
It was Jofo, who just got knighted.
He was, I think he, I don't know, I guess he organized the FurFest No Agenda meetup.
There are pictures, pictures and video available.
The first annual Midwest Furry No Agenda meetup was a rousing success.
Top-notch media deconstruction mixed with drunk, sweaty dudes named Ben, dry humping, and sexual animal costumes.
It's a deadly combination.
Birds of a feather truly flock together.
The meetup was small but fierce.
We had two normies from Chicago.
That's like you and I, John.
And four furries from all over the states, from North Carolina to California.
Well, I knew what I was getting at.
So we had, in the furry convention, which was obviously why they were there from North Carolina.
They weren't there for the meetup.
There's meetups closer.
They were furry.
So we have a furry, I guess, contingent.
Of no agenda producers that are furries.
Yes, we certainly do.
Oh, that's great.
And their furry outfits are beautiful.
Oh, furry outfits are, yeah.
I mean, this is some high-class stuff.
Looks really good.
And of course, there's videos of them dry-humping each other.
I had to suggest that they had sex in these outfits, the millennials at the dinner table.
And everybody knows about the furries, and they all got aghast, saying they would never risk any bodily fluids on these costumes.
That I can believe, actually.
This is never going to happen.
High-end stuff.
Very high-end.
That would be probably a great convention to go to, especially if they don't mind having their picture taken.
I understand that the bar they met at, the bartender would not allow any of the furries to keep their heads on.
I didn't hear that part.
Oh, really?
Oh, that sucks.
Yeah, they had to take those off.
No.
That's no fun.
Anyway, a good time was had by all.
Photos of that, once again, are in the show notes, at the bottom of the show notes page.
You'll find them, NA Chicago Furry meetup, photos and videos.
And thank you, everybody, for doing these meetups.
It means a great deal to everyone who participates, and it seems like it's...
I mean, what podcasts have this?
Where the listeners, just producers, just go hang out with each other and talk about stuff that they're interested in across all boundaries of race, color, creed, religion, age, and have a good time.
And the hosts don't even show up This is the best idea we've ever had, Dvorak.
The best idea we've ever had.
Thank you.
Well, I like this show once in a while.
Noagendameetups.com.
Yeah, yeah.
It's Saturday.
I'm going to the shoot.
I'm going to the meet shoot.
Oh, good.
Go do some shooting.
Of course.
Got to do some shooting.
We're in Texas.
Noagendameetups.com.
And, of course, Dvorak.org to support your podcast, the best podcast in the universe, according to the Mueller Report and fans of the Drudge Report, after it was sold.
Now, to jump to something a little weirder.
Weirder than meetups with furries?
Okay, I'm all ears.
Do you remember the first, what was the first school shooting that kind of triggered a fad of school shootings that you remember?
Well, I guess Columbine would be the most obvious.
Yeah, Columbine.
Well, Columbine was predated.
And to an event that got no credit, even though it was horrible.
No credit as the best ever?
The first ever?
No credit as the progenitor of all the rest of these shootings.
Oh, okay.
It was the original, the OG school shooting.
Didn't we have Dunblane, which was in England, the UK, where the Boomtown Rats made the song, I Don't Like Mondays?
Wasn't that one of the OG? Well, we're talking about North America.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Okay.
And it was in 1989.
It was in Canada.
Oh.
At the L'Ecole Polytechnique, which is a school of pyrotechnics.
And it was specifically a femicide.
I'm sorry.
Oh, killing girls?
Women?
Yeah, only.
I've never heard of this term, but I could figure it out.
A femicide.
Femicide.
Yeah.
Now, let's play this, because most Americans don't know about this, and even the Canadians can't seem to, to this day, come to grips with it, even though we're, what, at the 30-year anniversary, if you want to call it that, of this event which took place in 1989.
Columbine was 1999.
It was 10 years later.
So let's play these clips.
This is, I'm told, the worst shooting disaster in Canadian history, third worst in North American history.
December 6th, 1989.
The day before midterm exams at École Polytechnique in Montreal.
Just before 5pm, Marc Lepine walked into the engineering school with a semi-automatic rifle.
Within 20 minutes, he murdered 14 women.
Wow.
That's Nathalie Prevost, one of the survivors of the Polytechnique Montreal Massacre.
He came in the class, shot in the wall just behind me.
He yelled at the guy that they have to leave the classroom.
Nine women all together in the corner of the room.
He told us that...
We were there because we were feminists.
And I answered him back that we were not feminists.
And if he wants to study at Polytechnique, he can come with us.
And then he shot.
Tack, tack, tack, tack, tack, tack, tack.
Pretty loud.
Pretty awful.
It's awful.
And you see, I saw the eyes of a colleague die.
And then you know that you will die.
You're the next one.
And it takes a second.
And then you're on the floor.
And it's finished.
Nine people were shot in that classroom.
Six died.
All women.
Over the next 15 minutes, eight more people were killed.
All of them.
Women.
What followed the shooting was utter chaos.
Emergency responders didn't really know what to do, as this was one of the first active shooters in Quebec and one of the first school shootings in North America.
You know, I love when you do something like this at the end of the show.
It really makes me want to come back to this program, to this incredibly depressing show.
The music was spot on, too.
So, what was the deal with this guy?
The guy hated...
Well, you can't say he was a misogynist because he ended up dead, but you don't know because they never got to grill him.
But he goes into the class and says, okay, all you guys, all the men, out.
Wow, he separated them, gee.
And made them leave and then started gunning down the women.
I know nothing about this.
This is great.
I mean, it's not great.
No, it's not great, but it's something we should know about.
The Canadians, they didn't know how to deal with it.
The cops took a half an hour to get there.
I don't know.
You mean they weren't doing a drill nearby for this exact scenario?
Apparently not.
They have a lot to learn.
But the whole thing was, the writers and the reporters, and they talked about one in the next clip on The National, refused to even bring up the sexual aspect to it, that it was a femicide.
The guy was killing women only, and he was making sure the guys were safe.
There were a number of miscommunications and delays for first responders to actually get on the scene.
Police only entered the building when they got word the suspect had taken his own life, nearly 25 minutes after the first 911 call.
The coroner's report called the disaster plan poorly defined, and the operation as a whole suffered as a result.
The media was also unsure how to handle the situation.
When he came out and said that there were a dozen students that...
The reporters just all got real quiet.
You don't very often see reporters get quiet, but nobody said much after that.
The coverage following the massacre often excluded the word feminist, unless to quote the killer.
It was portrayed as an individual situation.
A lone gunman spun out of control.
We were sent out to try to find out why the murderer would have done this.
What must have happened in his childhood or his background that made him commit an act of violence.
You do what you're told, but at the same time there was no reflection on would we cover the violence against women angle because that seemed beside the point.
I was watching The National and The late Barbara Frum was doing a special on this and you could see on a national scale that she too was trying to not make it about violence against women.
But isn't the crime the brutality against this particular group this time?
It could have been another group.
Would we be having vigils for every group?
If it was 14 men, would we be having vigils?
Isn't violence the monstrosity here?
Matt Lepin's motive could not have been more clear.
He said it in the classroom as well as in his suicide note.
But it would still take decades to call it what it was.
Canada's first mass femicide.
Globally, as a society, imagining that one of our boys can kill 14 of our girls.
It's so hard to conceive.
It's so hard to accept.
It's to see a big flaw in our society.
So I don't agree, but I understand why people in charge wanted to diminish the division between men and women.
We have some Kando trolls in the troll room, and they're pointing to a lot of things.
Is there a gun control thing that just came out about this, and this is why it's in the news again, or is this just a throwback that you picked up?
No, it's in the news because it was on December 6th, two days ago, 30 years ago.
Mm-hmm.
In fact, the gun control was in play in Canada during this little episode, and that's one of the things that makes it like you don't hear about it, because we've got all these gun control laws here in Canada, and meanwhile this happens.
So what I'm reading is that Trudeau unveils new gun control platform while measures from 2015 are still not in force.
So is that how he celebrated on December 6th with a new gun control?
This was obscure.
It did not really show up as a major anything.
I don't remember Trudeau mentioning it.
Maybe he did.
But it is a good thing you could leverage.
You know, if you're working on gun control, I'm surprised it hasn't been leveraged by the Americans.
Yeah, this seems to be the OG incident.
Yeah.
In the Americas.
Wow.
Or North America.
Well, that's very depressing.
Thanks, John.
That's great.
You're welcome.
I try to keep the show lively.
I do have some...
I have the antidote.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Nutty Biden rambling.
Oh!
Like we haven't seen enough of that all week.
1.2 billion.
So you go ahead and you stack spaghetti sauce at a store in a supermarket.
You control the guy or the woman who brings out the carts on a forklift.
What happened?
Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States of America.
It's actually...
It's not much worse than Trump.
It's just Trump has, you know, it's funnier.
It's funnier.
Oh, my goodness.
I think it's funnier than Trump.
I agree.
Now, Biden was in Iowa, and that's where he said that little speech.
But I do have the thing, Iowa farmer versus Biden.
Now, do we really need to do this?
Is there anything new in this?
Well, you've seen it, Dan.
Yeah, oh yeah.
It's everywhere.
He's calling the guy, hey, sit down, fats, and it's not true, and shut up.
And it's again with this microphone.
Is that the one?
Hey, fats, sit down.
My sound is absolutely no proof of my sound doing that.
They were playing that on Democracy Now!
So I do have the third clip from that little ditty, which I call the bad segue.
Oh, okay.
Now this is, I want you to listen to this.
She's going from the Biden story that you're just ridiculed, where Biden and this guy get into a beef.
She goes from that and cuts into another story.
Normally she does a two, about a one second, about a three beat Pause between her stories.
But once in a while, she just reads from one story to the other, making it sound like the same story.
And this is an example.
And that was former Vice President Joe Biden lashing out at the town hall in Iowa Thursday.
The Pentagon's considering sending thousands more troops to the Middle East to counter Iran.
The Wall Street Journal reports up to 14,000 more U.S. troops could be...
Stop.
I gotta hear that again.
That was great.
Ha!
The Pentagon's considering sending thousands...
Wait, I gotta go back.
And it was former Vice President Joe Biden lashing out at the town hall in Iowa Thursday.
The Pentagon's considering sending thousands more troops...
To Iowa.
...to the Middle East to count...
That was good.
That was good.
I liked it.
I did note that she uses the term, which I thought was reserved for Trump...
But the Democracy Now!
show is on board with Elizabeth Warren, I think.
Oh, wow.
And so she uses the term reserved for Trump, where Biden now lashes out.
Lashes out, yeah.
Well, it's Amy.
Who knows?
We don't have an end-of-show ISO, I just realized.
This is a problem.
Well, you've got classics.
I think Stop the Hammering always works.
Yeah.
Let's listen to it.
Since you want me to lighten it up, I got my last clip.
Okay.
Thank goodness.
The second part is optional.
Okay.
So Katie Hopkins...
Is the, kind of the right-wing commentator.
Used to be on LBC and she's, she's floating around.
She's a big Trump supporter.
She's on Fox.
Don't I see her on Fox sometimes?
She comes on Fox once in a while.
She just, she lambates people.
She's actually a good radio personality because she's just over the top nuts.
Okay.
So she's giving a speech to some conservative group and she, And I was watching her do this.
She has the thing written down.
She's writing this down.
But she apparently hired some joke writers.
Oh, God.
Okay.
And I think, you know, she does a credible job.
And I think anyone who does public speaking should find some joke writers and maybe do your material like this.
My name is Katie Hopkins.
I am a straight, white, Christian, conservative, married mother of three small children under 15, and I am proud to be all of those things.
People who know me know that most of my Muslim friends have 15 children under the age of three.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I don't have Muslim friends.
I've had two husbands so far.
I like to call Lovely Mark my current husband to keep him on his toes.
I guess I'm a bit like Ilhan Omar except I've never married my brother.
I did try proposing to Donald Junior earlier as well.
I think I could be so much better for him than Kimberly.
After all, I've never dated a Democrat, unlike some.
So she goes on.
Wait a minute, I didn't get that one.
Kimberly Guilfoyle was married to Gavin Newsom.
Oh, okay, of course.
Well, these are pretty good.
She delivers.
It's not bad, it's not bad, but then she goes...
It's not great, but it's good.
It's not great, but hey, she's a radio person.
She's doing stand-up.
It's almost as bad as a podcaster, yeah.
She's probably a podcaster now.
But, you know, it's...
Well, actually, I think, didn't she lose some lawsuit?
I was reading about this.
Yeah.
Oh, that could be a win.
She was...
A slander lawsuit.
She's slanderous.
A slander lawsuit for 500 million pounds, and she had to sell her house.
Oh, well, then she should have...
The podcast joke is not that funny.
Yeah.
It's not funny at all.
Well, she does do a nice slam here on somebody else.
I'm kind of like, wow, this is interesting.
I guess there's a contingent of people in the UK that hate a certain somebody.
The moral of my first marriage, ladies and gentlemen, is do not marry a man that looks like Matt Schlapp.
Too much hair.
That much hair is not natural.
He looks like something that came out of the forest.
And I'm glad to see that so many ladies here have gone for a much more aerodynamic husband.
In the head department.
Not gesturing at you, sir, but I'm definitely gesturing at you.
It's good to laugh, isn't it?
I mean, really.
I've come to realise that we lived in such utterly mad times that sometimes our best defence is truly just laughter.

I talked about him earlier.
Lowlands Jasper.
Secret Agent Paul returns with a professional new song.
That'll be up first.
We have Tom Starkweather and, of course, as promised, the Nothing Like a Dame song.

Our amygdala's so small from deconstruction twice a week.
We have foamers, we've got zappers, we've got time to watch and train.
What do we want?
We want more!
We've got newsletters from John.
Body clips from other shows.
We get tingles sent to Adam.
And the stamp that they expose.
We've got one-click book donation.
And they read our notes as well.
What do we want?

All the knights and dames who've gathered in our Kipmo neighborhood.

You must admit that there isn't anything finer than to see a producer who has supported the best podcast in the universe in the amount of $1,000 or more who was born with a vagina.

But it's the same queen here.
Irritable, stop trolling us.
We have a song to sing.
Hit it, guys!
