	You know, people going up to Joe like, hey Joe, bah!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, January 23rd, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1210.
	This is No Agenda.
	And broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Boston, Texas, capital of the Dome, Star State.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're awaiting the attack of the Russians, I'm John C. DeBoer.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	I'm looking through my news articles.
	I'm not aware of the Russians attacking us.
	What's going on?
	That's what shifts is going to happen.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that!
	Man, I gotta tell you.
	After yesterday, I really wasn't liking my gig so much as I used to.
	You know, I had a bad day yesterday.
	Let me just explain.
	After two days of this bullcrap, Which violates the United States Constitution, I might add, because as you know, in the Constitution it's clearly stated that thou shalt never create boring television.
	That is our United States law.
	And, by the way, what a shitty set that was, too.
	What is with them?
	Like, people are standing in someone's marble bathroom.
	Horrible set.
	Bad set.
	Bad actors.
	Everything bad.
	So last night, we go out to dinner with the kids.
	And we're going to drive them home, and it's raining.
	And so I pull over into a left-hand lane to get onto I-35 or something.
	And it's dark.
	It's raining.
	And the minute I pull up to the light, two guys appear from the shadows.
	And immediately start waving at me, and then I realize, pretty quickly, they're squeegee guys.
	Now, I haven't had a squeegee...
	Yeah, this is new now in Austin.
	As a vocation, you're allowed to stand on a corner and squeegee people's windows, wash their windows.
	In the rain.
	Again, it's raining, two guys approach the car, and immediately it's got a stick, which is the squeegee.
	I'm like, hey, no, no, no, no.
	And then they start yelling and blah, and so I roll down the window and I say, no.
	And then they start putting the squeeze, the sticks on my car and on my hood, and I diffused it for myself.
	I said, do not touch the car.
	And I don't know if it was the way I looked or whatever, but they kind of backed off, but didn't really.
	It was a menacing experience, not so much about what happened.
	For the first time ever, I contemplated putting my hand on my firearm.
	And I'm really torn about it because, you know, it's like...
	I don't know.
	I was mad and a little startled at the same time.
	And I was like, whoa, this has got to stop.
	I mean, I'm a dude.
	Imagine women driving around with these douchebags accosting.
	And I'm not saying they're homeless.
	They're grifters.
	This should not be allowed.
	Anyway, so it really set me off.
	I was in a very, you know, the adrenaline was through my course.
	I couldn't get to sleep.
	Glad you find it entertaining.
	It's very entertaining.
	It was not that great.
	I'm still...
	We don't even have squeegees in San Francisco or Berkeley.
	You mean squeegee guys or just squeegees?
	Oh, you know what I mean.
	Yeah.
	It's...
	Oh, man.
	So somebody came out of New York City from the 80s...
	In a time machine.
	In a time machine and said, you know, Austin is ready for this.
	And they're also like, hey man, well you should give us money if you don't want to.
	You pulled into the squeegee lane.
	I said, whoa, the squeegee lane?
	No.
	All of a sudden you pull over left and that's the squeegee lane.
	Something bad's going to happen.
	In the rain.
	Something bad's going to happen.
	In the rain.
	This will not end well.
	This is Texas.
	Yeah, some guy gets shot.
	Well, sooner rather than later so that the message can get out because this is just not okay.
	Anyway, let's get to the most boring part of our life, shall we?
	What the heck?
	They preempted everything on television the first day.
	It's stupid.
	Except on the Fox affiliates.
	They just ran their regular programming and cleaned up.
	At a certain point, I saw that, because I was watching CNBC, because I always wanted to get their analysis.
	But they were doing zero analysis, just continuously running, running, running, the whole thing.
	And Fox eventually just cut away and started doing analysis, which I thought was the smart move.
	Because people, I mean, are just bored to tears of this stuff.
	No one cares.
	This is not a TV show anyone's watching.
	It's beyond no one cares.
	They're repetitious.
	Yeah, that too.
	In fact, I do have a clip that highlights the repetition.
	Okay.
	We're going to have to bore people a little bit just so we can...
	No, hey, I don't think so.
	I've only got like two clips.
	Okay, good.
	And mostly they're bitching and moaning about this.
	Yeah, good.
	So I think we're good to go.
	All right.
	In fact, there's so few clips, I didn't even subcategorize it as a certain kind of clip.
	Okay.
	Here's the overwhelming argument.
	This is Senator...
	This is on C-SPAN. This is John Barrasso comes on and he's bitching and moaning.
	This is after the event down in the basement.
	The overwhelming argument.
	If you read the brief that the House managers brought forward, 11 times it says...
	The information is overwhelming.
	The facts are overwhelming.
	Nadler has said we could do this in three minutes, that it's a rock-solid case.
	Present the case and let us vote.
	If the vote is on the impeachment of the President of the United States and the evidence is overwhelming, Present it and ask us to vote.
	We ought to be able to make that decision.
	Right now, we're going to hear from the managers.
	They're about five and a half, six hours into a 24-hour presentation.
	We'll then hear from the White House and their defense and then have 16 hours for questions.
	It does seem to me that at the end of that, most senators will be pretty well informed on whether they know which way they're going to vote and aren't going to need any additional information.
	Yeah, you know, one thing was prevalent throughout the past two days from the analysis across the board.
	You heard this.
	Well, it's going to be a long day.
	So tiring.
	Some of these senators, I mean, they can't have their cell phones and they can't talk.
	In fact...
	Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
	All persons are commanded to keep silent on pain of imprisonment.
	That was the opening, hear ye, hear ye.
	I love that one, by the way.
	I'm glad you got that clip.
	Just constantly.
	Oh, well, it's so long.
	Poor senators.
	Oh, man, they have to sit the whole time.
	I'm thinking to myself...
	Every single day in the United States, thousands, if not tens of thousands of citizens, American citizens, sit on juries for hours on end with no cell phone, no talking, no sleeping, no drinking, no getting up for a little interview, a little hit in the halls.
	No!
	These guys are douchebags and complete, for that reason alone, completely disconnected from all reality.
	In America, citizens are called for jury duty.
	And that's really the other side of voting, in my mind.
	And you are a part of the legal process.
	It is your duty as a citizen.
	And I don't hear people bitching and moaning like these guys did, or the news media saying, oh, they'll get out of it, by the way.
	They don't have to sit on juries.
	I'm like, I got this job.
	I can't sit on the jury.
	Okay, good.
	You're excused.
	I found it very offensive.
	I did.
	And then...
	Well, they could have killed the whole thing.
	I don't know why they didn't.
	I mean, now they're moaning and groaning.
	This is the one where they're bitching and moaning.
	This is Cruz number one.
	Coming off day two, first day.
	Well, we're in the first day of the Democratic managers opening arguments.
	And one of the realities that's already setting in is just a few hours into their opening arguments, they're already repeating the same points they made for 13 hours yesterday.
	And I suspect the Democrats...
	Through a fit yesterday, insisted they needed at least three full days to present the arguments.
	I think we're going to see an awful lot of repetition making the same points over and over again.
	Yes.
	Which was true.
	Correct.
	He nailed that one.
	Exactly.
	Did you want to play two?
	Well, you can play the second part of it as Cruz kind of...
	More generally complaining.
	It's not bad.
	You can play it.
	There were two things in particular today that I thought were highly notable.
	Number one, several of the Democratic managers made the case that Ukraine denying Ukraine military aid endangered lives was a tremendous blow to American national security and was wrong even a moment of delaying military aid to Ukraine risked lives.
	You know, there's an old saying that hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.
	And this is a really powerful example because if there is such a compelling national security interest to give military aid to Ukraine, Then what do these House Democrats have to say about the years that Barack Obama refused to give lethal military aid to Ukraine?
	In fact, I traveled to Ukraine in 2014, came back and urged Barack Obama to give lethal military aid to Ukraine.
	The Obama administration refused to do so.
	They sent blankets and MREs, but they wouldn't give lethal aid.
	On the other hand, the Trump administration has given javelin missiles, has sold javelin missiles that can take out Russian tanks.
	And so, if the House manager's argument is correct, I guess the consequence is, under their argument, maybe they should have impeached Obama if not giving military aid to Ukraine was a deep threat to U.S. national security.
	A second point.
	I think the House managers made a very serious strategic error today.
	Adam Schiff's arguments to open the day-to-day directly drew into question Hunter Biden and made not only his testimony relevant, which it already was, but it is now critical because the House Democrats have built their entire case on the proposition that any investigation into Barisa and corruption was a sham, that it was completely debunked.
	The problem is, there is very significant prima facie evidence of corruption.
	Hunter Biden, the son of the then sitting president, Joe Biden, was being paid $83,000 a month, a million dollars a year.
	I'm sick and tired of this storyline, too.
	We've heard it.
	We know it.
	We get it.
	Background in oil and gas, no experience.
	And at the same time, Joe Biden has publicly admitted that he threatened Ukraine.
	He withheld, or threatened to withhold, a billion dollars of aid.
	Unless and until Ukraine fired the prosecutor that was potentially investigating the company on which his son served on the board.
	Kill, kill, kill.
	You've heard this all.
	I want to read today's headlines from the Google News.
	That if you go, you know, Google News, just the major headlines.
	Yeah.
	News.Google.com.
	Number one, Schiff warns of Russian attack on U.S. mainland as day two of Trump's Senate impeachment trial concludes.
	That's Fox News.
	Yeah.
	Los Angeles Times column.
	There's a column.
	Republicans wanted to impeach Trump from the start.
	Okay, that's interesting.
	Then the third article is New York Times, and we know them.
	Trump acts like a politician.
	That's not an impeachable offense.
	What?
	Well, I mean, forget.
	We all know that this is a show and that the president is not going to be removed.
	That's just abundantly clear from the numbers.
	And I'm going to reiterate that neither side wants witnesses.
	Neither side wants additional documentation.
	They certainly don't want Hunter Biden.
	Neither side.
	Because they are all incredibly corrupt when it comes to Ukraine.
	We've said it before.
	The money is circling around.
	There's millions of dollars going into all kinds of family members and NGOs and non-profits.
	And it's been going on for decades.
	Ukraine happens to be one where people got a little bit too excited because we basically took the place over with Victoria Nuland and with Brennan and John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
	They were all there, all a part of it.
	Luckily, this will be finally exposed, not on the mainstream.
	But in a podcast.
	And I've got a big surprise coming up.
	I'm going to devote a lot of my time this year exposing the double standard on my own podcast.
	Oh, fun.
	And I'll do it.
	I love Ingraham.
	Oh, fun!
	She's like, shit, how come I don't get that on my show?
	No, it's going to be in a podcast.
	Go Rudy!
	Oh, fun.
	And I'll do it with records, recordings, tape recordings, financial records.
	A lot of people were pulling a lot of money out of Ukraine.
	And I learned a lot more about Ukraine than I did just the millions that Joe Biden stole there and the millions that he stole in Iraq and the millions that he stole in China.
	And it is a disgrace that he's not under investigation.
	Can't wait for that podcast.
	They'll be promoting it.
	So the crux, really, of the obstruction of Congress article, which isn't discussed much, is that it's about executive privilege.
	And I dove into this because, you know, you keep hearing, well, executive privilege...
	So the Democrats pretend they want to hear from John Bolton, the, at the time, National Security Advisor.
	They pretend they want, they don't really, we just went through that.
	But the President says, no, well, under executive privilege, I'm not going to allow him to do that because he knows a lot about what I think, about different world leaders, etc.
	So that's just not appropriate.
	And it is the right of the President and other members of the executive branch to maintain confidential communications and And now I'm citing from Wikipedia, the Book of Knowledge, Truth Above All Truth, under certain circumstances within the executive branch to resist some subpoenas and other oversight by the legislative and judicial branches of government.
	That's being called his evoking executive or possibly evoking executive privilege and not wanting to show documents under the same executive privilege is being deemed as obstruction of Congress.
	Now, it's not in the Constitution, executive privilege.
	The Supreme Court, this is where it comes from, this power, ruled that executive privilege...
	And, this is the fun part, also not listed in the Constitution, Congressional oversight, each are a consequence of the doctrine of the separation of powers derived from the supremacy of each branch in its own area of constitutional activity.
	And this was decided in United States v.
	Nixon.
	So, the irony of Congress, and specifically the House of Representatives, is they keep touting, it's our constitutional responsibility for oversight!
	It's equal branches of government!
	Bullshit!
	Both of these two sides were determined by the United States Supreme Court, and it's in the same case.
	So you can't, on one hand, say the president has no right to do that, while on the other hand you're saying we have the full right to oversight.
	Because it's all in one court case, and it's decided by the Supreme Court.
	So this whole thing is just insulting.
	It really is.
	Yeah, well, there you have it.
	However, we did have some nice little moments from, and there was just a lot of messaging everywhere.
	Everybody's messaging everything.
	Well, I wanted to get my messaging out of the way, which is a couple of short clips, just to show you where CBS and the mainstream media was coming from.
	They were happy as a clam that this was going on, even though they weren't playing a lot of clips that we were listening to on C-SPAN. Mm-hmm.
	But let's listen to how jacked up they are in their impeachment.
	This is Nora O'Donnell pumps impeachment on CBS. This is her intro.
	In a series of dramatic, dramatic, dramatic presentations stretching into the night.
	She got hung up there.
	She got stuck like a broken record.
	Weird.
	No one knows what that means.
	In a series of dramatic, dramatic, dramatic presentations stretching into the night, House managers laid out their case to remove Mr. Trump from office, at times using his own words against him.
	Today was the first of what will be three eight-hour-long presentations by the Democrats before the president's lawyers are even allowed to speak.
	Woo! - Woo!
	Dramatic, but she's using his own words.
	Did you see that Schiff brings out some clips?
	Tries to do clips.
	He does a shit job of it.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's clips again.
	They did clips in PowerPoint.
	Yeah, clips.
	And the clips were junk.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, then Nancy Cordes, she brings her on after, you know, she's all jacked up about this is going to be some big deal.
	Nancy Cordes comes on and she's not much better.
	And she's hoping for the best, but she's getting nowhere.
	There's another short clip of just, you know, throwing it to Nancy.
	Nancy's got nothing.
	Nora, the impeachment managers are walking the Senate through all the evidence step by step.
	Every phone call, every email, as they lay out why they believe this Senate should be the first in U.S. history to remove a U.S. president from office.
	I love what Schumer was doing.
	That's about it for the mainstream media right there, those two clips.
	I love what Schumer was doing consistently.
	Whenever he was speaking in the hallways, he'd talk about all the president's men were doing this.
	All the president's men, which is a very sly throwback to Nixon and Watergate.
	That nobody will get.
	I got it.
	You got it, yeah.
	Yeah, you and nobody else.
	I got it too, but come on.
	Jay Sekulow, one of the president's lawyers, signaled to the No Agenda show consistently and with great valor.
	33 days.
	33 days they held on to those impeachment articles.
	33 days.
	There was such a rush of national security that impeached this president before Christmas that they then held him for 33 days.
	33.
	That's the magic number.
	There was a lot of 33s going on.
	Yeah, which really makes you wonder.
	Sadly, yes.
	Sadly.
	Okay, so, just to kind of wrap it up, unless you have something else.
	Let me think.
	Do I have something else?
	No.
	Nothing else.
	That's it.
	You got it.
	I do have this.
	This is from a little earlier, a couple of weeks back.
	This is Shields and Brooks talking about the impeachment and how it doesn't really make a big difference because in his insightful way, Well, you'll hear it.
	One against the 47% in favor of impeachment, 40 against.
	A little bit of an overstatement.
	If you compare this to Watergate, it took 26 months after the break-in at Watergate, 14 months of hearings, to get to the point where we are now with Richard Nixon.
	That was the summer of 1974, one month before he resigned, to the point where we are with Donald Trump right now.
	And as far as, I mean, you can look at all the polls.
	Ipsos does it.
	It has done six since the end of October.
	It's gone from 47% in favor of impeachment, 41 against, to 47% in favor of impeachment, 40 against.
	I mean, it's been next to no movement.
	I just think that what we have, quite frankly, is the early stages.
	And we're very much in the early stages.
	And I think, you know, for us to rush, Jeff Horowitz, the Democratic pollster, does the Wall Street Journal, NBC poll, with Bill McIntyre of the Republican.
	Compares it, the impeachment and conviction in the Senate, as to the criminal part of a trial.
	And the civil trial will be the election of 2020.
	Donald Trump may very well be not guilty in the criminal part, but right now he is in just terrible, terrible shape looking at November of 2020.
	I guarantee you the ratings are going to be so bad for everybody with this kind of drivel, this kind of dumbass partisan analysis on all sides of it.
	It was just a waste of intelligence, human energy.
	I'm irked about it.
	Well, I really am.
	I'm irked.
	Like, shut up, all of you.
	This is so stupid.
	And no one's sincere.
	No one means it.
	At all.
	By the way, Hunter Biden has to appear in court in Arkansas for his paternity suit.
	Oh, yes.
	I feel bad.
	I'm thinking that Hunter Biden may not be long for this earth.
	No, I've felt that way since I saw his interview.
	Yeah, he is a huge problem.
	Really, really not good for Joe, not good for the Democrats, not good for any of it.
	Meanwhile...
	If I was him, I'd just head out of the country.
	He may be out of the country, for all you know.
	Meanwhile, everybody is over in Davos, and I did watch as much Davos coverage as possible, and it's important for us because that's where the elites are.
	It's the annual gathering of the reptiles.
	Trump was there as well.
	Here's what he had to say about some of the impeachment process.
	The facts.
	What did you make of the dust-up between White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and General Nadler last night?
	And are you absolutely against John Bolton, testify?
	Well, you're asking a lot of questions.
	First of all, Gerald Nadler.
	I've known him a long time.
	He's a sleazebag.
	Everybody knows that.
	Yeah, I heard that too.
	There were some actual interesting stuff going on.
	CNBC had a panel.
	They're always over there for the financial angle.
	And they had the Sajid David, who's the United Kingdom's Chancellor of the Shekhar.
	Which is, I guess, you could just say Secretary of the Treasury.
	So he's the money guy.
	And they pitted him against our money guy, Steve Mnuchin.
	And the topic was about the tax on Google, Apple.
	It's called the digital tax, which we've discussed several times.
	It's the European Union essentially soaking...
	And in this case, I guess the UK is going to do it as well, essentially soaking the American companies for tax revenue that we all know that they're cheating and that we're not getting the tax revenue.
	But these companies now feel that, you know, hey, you can't use our very favorable tax system, which is the the Irish double Dutch reach around up and over Donkey Kong, whatever they call it, which essentially gives everybody a way to not pay any taxes anywhere.
	But I'll give Mnuchin some credit here as he's saying, hey, you know, this is just not okay.
	You're not just going to tax our companies.
	I'm not a fan of Google.
	I'm not a fan of most of these companies.
	Amazon, I do use them one way or the other.
	But just willy-nilly taxing doesn't seem like a very fair deal, and this exchange went down.
	We plan to go ahead with our digital services tax in April.
	It is a proportionate tax, and it is a tax that is deliberately designed as a temporary tax.
	So it will fall away once there is an international solution.
	I think we've been pretty clear that we think that the digital tax is discriminatory, There's an OECD process that we're participating in.
	International tax issues are very complicated.
	They take long times to look at.
	If people want to just arbitrarily put taxes on our digital companies, we'll consider arbitrarily putting taxes on car companies.
	So that's where the 25% rumored tariff comes from.
	I like Mnuchin.
	I like him because he's kind of autistic and straightforward.
	Kind of.
	Okay, he's very...
	He's a weird guy, but I like him.
	He doesn't have the turistics anymore.
	He's got that under control.
	Yeah, well, I don't think he was used to being in the public so much, and he's kind of like you.
	You, when you were on MTV and you did other things where you just...
	Put it under control, even though it's a strain.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	Yes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Right?
	Yes.
	Right?
	I had to work twice as hard as the other VJs, and that's not saying much.
	Here's what I have a hypothetical.
	Davos takes place every year.
	It's very well planned.
	Yeah.
	Now, what is to prevent...
	I mean, if terrorism is such a major, major...
	Yes.
	Why it seems to me that if you really ran an international terrorist operation and you were trying to screw things up royally, I would even put Soros into this category.
	Why don't they plan to blow up the whole place with either a nuke or just a series of massive bombs?
	Well, you're making a lot of things you could do.
	You're making a strategic mistake here.
	Half of these people, if not more, are in cahoots with terrorists, so-called terrorists, or with the organizations behind them.
	It doesn't behoove them.
	That's why you don't see, rarely do you see anything happen in the Netherlands.
	The Netherlands is the narco state of the European Union.
	All drugs flow through the harbor, flow through the whole country, You can get into the Netherlands, you know, no problem with immigration.
	You can get to any other country you want.
	It doesn't behoove anybody to do that.
	They need these guys.
	Some of them.
	I'm just saying, what you're doing is an analysis.
	What I'm doing is asking a hypothetical question that if all this terrorism thing was actually existed, how come this hasn't happened?
	Yes, okay.
	So I did indeed give you an analysis, but I think that's the answer right there.
	They've got friends everywhere.
	They are the terrorists.
	Thank you, finally.
	Of course, tons of climate change talk at Davos.
	And Reuters put together a little report which, of course, pitted David versus Goliath, Orange Man bad, Greta Thunberg good.
	Thousands of miles away from his impeachment trial in Washington, President Trump was in Davos on Tuesday at the World Economic Forum where climate change has been talk of the town.
	The president had an environmental pledge of his own.
	We're committed to conserving the majesty of God's creation and the natural beauty of our world.
	Today, I'm pleased to announce the United States will join the One Trillion Trees Initiative.
	Had you heard about this?
	Only just now.
	The One Trillion Trees?
	That's a lot of trees, man.
	That's a lot of trees.
	Somebody did the math.
	I think what happened was somebody did the math on the trillion trees.
	And it turned out that it would offset so much with the idea of just a trillion trees.
	We wouldn't have any oxygen.
	It would offset so much carbon dioxide, you mean?
	Yeah, and we'd probably boost the oxygen levels.
	A trillion?
	That's a lot of trees.
	If the oxygen goes up too high...
	Oh, the place catches on fire.
	No, dinosaurs come back.
	One trillion trees initiative being launched here at the World Economic Forum.
	One trillion trees.
	But in an apparent rebuke to the initiative, the teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg said simply planting trees isn't enough to combat climate change.
	We're not telling you to offset your emissions by just paying someone else to plant trees in places like Africa while at the same time forests like the Amazon are being slaughtered at an infinitely higher rate.
	Planting trees is good, of course, but it's nowhere near enough of what is needed and it cannot replace real mitigation and rewilding nature.
	Big words!
	Mitigation.
	She said rewilding.
	She did.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, we called that.
	That was the title of our last show.
	We knew that was coming.
	Yeah.
	The rewilding.
	Well, she actually called for the elimination of all fossil fuel usage now.
	Yeah.
	Immediately.
	Trump responded in kind.
	And I can understand where people may hear this next clip and go, holy crap.
	Do you guys write his speeches?
	But to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse.
	They are the heirs of yesterday's foolish fortune tellers, and I have them, and you have them, and we all have them.
	And they want to see us do badly, but we don't let that happen.
	They predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the 70s.
	And an end of oil in the 1990s.
	These alarmists always demand the same thing, absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives.
	We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country, or eradicate our liberty.
	I think it was smart that he didn't pull in the, you know, the same people said in the 70s we're going to die of Arctic freeze.
	I think that was probably smart because people would immediately say, oh, conspiracy theorists.
	But the peak oil, I mean, we went through that, peak oil.
	I love peak oil.
	The peak oil was the stupidest thing ever.
	You were using it as leverage.
	I always thought that was clever.
	Yeah, I was saying.
	And then they pulled the plug out.
	You must not have been the only guy because they pulled the rug out from under peak oil.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because I would say, hey, do you believe in peak oil?
	People go, oh yes, I believe it.
	Problem solved then.
	Climate change won't happen.
	We're going to run out of oil.
	It may suck, but, you know, we won't die from climate change.
	And that immediately shut people up.
	And so then I think you're right.
	They went, crap, this is not working.
	Curry's onto us.
	Pull it.
	Curry.
	The head reptile was in attendance.
	This would be Prince Charles.
	As we know, he is along with Prince Philip, actually, but Philip doesn't do any appearances anymore.
	Prince Charles had his own...
	He kicked off, I think, the climate change subcommittee at Davo, and I pulled a couple of clips just so we could see what he is thinking.
	Now, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the midst of a crisis that is now, I hope...
	Well understood.
	Global warming, climate change, and the devastating loss of biodiversity.
	Hadn't heard that one in a while.
	When's the last time we heard biodiversity?
	He's bringing it back, our Chuck.
	...are the greatest threats humanity has ever faced, and one largely of our own creation.
	Now, I have dedicated much of my life to the restoration of harmony between humanity, nature, and the environment, and to the encouragement of corporate, social, and environmental responsibility.
	Quite frankly, it has been...
	A bit of an uphill struggle.
	But now, it is time to take it to the next level.
	Woo!
	In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model.
	Having been engaged in these issues since...
	This is very interesting.
	He says we have to...
	What do you say?
	Do we have to change or upgrade our economic model?
	Evolve.
	Evolve.
	And he's telling the truth, because this is the plan.
	Is evolve the economy, evolve the economics, change everything so that guaranteed the people, like us, wind up with less money.
	But now it is time to take it to the next level.
	In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model.
	Having been engaged in these issues since, I suppose, 1968, when I made my first speech on the environment, and having talked to countless experts across the globe over those decades, I've come to realize that it is not a lack of capital that is holding us back.
	It's a lack of capital from you!
	Oh, deploy it!
	short of a paradigm shift.
	One that inspires action at revolutionary levels and pace.
	Okay, blah, blah, So that's basically the standard level, a standard talk.
	But he went a little bit further here.
	This is the big menu of stuff that Chuck is working on.
	So beginning here at Davos and throughout the year, and in order to identify game changes, investments and barriers to transition, I will be convening a broad range of industry and issue roundtables, including, but not limited to.
	Are you ready for the list?
	This is the reptile agenda for climate change.
	Not about burning up in Australia from the so-called climate change wildfires.
	Not about drowning under the oceans.
	No, no.
	He's taken it to, as he said, a whole new level.
	Aviation, water, carbon capture and storage, shipping, forestry, plastics, financing, digital technology, the bioeconomy, nature-based solutions.
	Renewable energy, battery storage, electric vehicles, fisheries, integrated healthcare, cement, steel, traceability, and labeling, and agriculture.
	At the end of which, I shall probably be dead.
	I'll give Chuck that one.
	That's quite a list!
	Right down to healthcare, and wow, there's a lot going on in reptile land.
	And just to wrap it up, of course, we always have to think of the children.
	Everything I've tried to do and urge over the past 50 years has been done with our children and grandchildren in mind.
	Because I did not want to be accused by them of doing nothing except prevaricate and deny the problem.
	Now, of course, they are accusing us of exactly that.
	So put yourselves in their position, ladies and gentlemen.
	We simply cannot waste any more time.
	The only limit, the only limit is our willingness to act.
	Oh, won't somebody please think of the children?
	So, that's it.
	Same old message from the reptiles.
	Expanded on the money they're going to take away from us.
	Expanded on the areas they're going to take it away or take the services away.
	I think when you talk about healthcare, I think it means you're going to get less of it.
	And don't forget, they're going to try to make us eat more bugs.
	More bugs, yes.
	Because that's what they eat.
	And we always joke about this, about the reptiles.
	I have another little nugget of proof here that they exist.
	And, well, of all people in the House of Representatives, who would you put at the top of the list as being a reptile?
	The House of Representatives?
	Yes.
	Well, Schiff, of course.
	Yeah.
	That wouldn't be my top one.
	Why, you think Nancy?
	Oh, Nancy Pelosi, you say?
	Why, listen to this clip from the Bill Maher Show.
	And you have to be ready to take a punch and you have to be ready to throw a punch for the children.
	So I don't worry about that.
	But what I am concerned about for the children is the future of this country.
	and we have to have our common ground, a mainstream message.
	Now, in the recent election, we won.
	We showed in the House that we know how to win.
	Disciplined, focused, cold-blooded in terms of just winning.
	Good to have your cold-blooded self on our side.
	There you go.
	Nancy Pelosi, everybody.
	All right, thank you so much for joining us.
	Completely cold-blooded, and she admits it.
	She admits it.
	Cold-blooded.
	Hiding in plain sight.
	Yes, and as another data point, and this surprised me, and I still don't really understand how it can even be.
	Let me bring up this story here.
	This is, hold on.
	Since the 19th century, the average human body temperature in the United States has dropped, according to the Stanford University School of Medicine.
	So wait, wait.
	So what you're saying is the average That doesn't mean yours or mine.
	No, average.
	It means there's more reptiles bringing the average down.
	Yes, and listen to the statistics.
	I don't know exactly what it is in centigrade.
	We could look it up.
	But I've always grown up knowing that 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, made famous by Karl Reinhold August Wunderlich, Who published the figure in 1868.
	That is the human body temperature.
	And there's a song about it.
	Hey, 98.6, it's good to have you back again.
	I always thought it was about a radio station, but of course it wasn't.
	It was about not being sick anymore.
	Apparently, in the United States, the average body temperature now is 97.9.
	A full half degree lower.
	I find this concerning.
	Yeah.
	I didn't know it was that much.
	I thought it would be more than 98.2.
	No.
	So, they're clearly breeding.
	And they're spreading.
	So, you know, we have to be on alert.
	Maybe they're the squeegee guys.
	I don't know.
	But it's very, very troubling to me.
	Well...
	It's something to think about.
	I use it as a gag all the time at the table, although I'm half serious.
	Maybe I'm all serious, but whatever.
	The kids are supposed to say, you really think there's people that are lizards among us?
	Yes.
	Look around.
	Have a look.
	It's a good explanation for a lot of stuff.
	Guys, obviously, he's just a weird-looking character, and he's also somewhat hypnotic, as you pointed out, in the recent event you had at the dinner party, where people were all jacked up.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, fantastic.
	What a solid politician.
	What a great guy.
	Yes, exactly.
	Okay, so speaking of lizards, shall we listen to a few in...
	I'd love to get through the 2020 clips that I have, because some people...
	This is all Democrats.
	They're all out on the trail.
	They're all doing stuff.
	Bernie's...
	And I think there was a big vice, you know, the online and HBO... Basically, the advertising agency that creates content known as Vice.
	They invited all of the Democratic candidates to come by and talk.
	It was on stage, kind of that setting.
	I'm not sure if this one from Bernie Sanders is there, but this is concerning the wall.
	The partially built wall between the United States and Mexico.
	You said the wall is symbolic and it represents...
	Yes, sir.
	So, wouldn't it be proper to tear that symbol down in order to achieve that?
	It may be.
	But, you know, how much is it going to cost to tear it down?
	Should you do that, tear it down?
	I don't know.
	Maybe the answer is yes.
	That's something you're willing to consider.
	You're willing to consider tearing down existing fencing between the U.S. and...
	I'm willing to look at that.
	But again, if it's going to cost me billions of dollars to tear it down, I'd rather invest that maybe in the needs for child care in this country.
	But it's something, you know, we can look at.
	When did child care become such a hot button again?
	The state now needs to pay, or the state needs to control our children while both parents are off working?
	Is that the idea?
	What exactly?
	Yeah, you need this so the state can be there to also propagandize the kids.
	Yes, you had a...
	When did Bernie become...
	I mean, Bernie's all nervous there.
	He sounded like a fast talker.
	Well, I think maybe the question was nerve-wracking for him.
	I don't know.
	It was a different Bernie.
	I don't think so.
	You had a...
	I'm totally...
	Have you ever seen that Bernie dancing clip?
	That's not Bernie.
	You had an interesting item in the newsletter about children's books, the propagandizing children.
	Yeah.
	Some photos there, but yeah, I started getting into these books.
	They're propaganda books that are being sent out for...
	It's supposed to be so cute.
	Some of the listeners or producers think that maybe some of them are put on.
	I'm not so sure.
	I'm looking at the list here.
	There's Woke Baby, Dream On Little One, Nursery Rhymes for Social Good.
	Heaven forbid if you have old nursery rhymes.
	Then there's a bunch of these books.
	A is for activist.
	C is for consent.
	Are you teaching a baby about sexual consent?
	Oh my goodness.
	Are you kidding me?
	And are these really selling?
	Are they best sellers?
	Are they doing well?
	They're selling like hotcakes.
	The Little Trailblazer.
	And the Little Trailblazer has a picture of a woman wearing a burka.
	And a black baby.
	I'm not getting some of this.
	Look at these.
	The ABCs of equality.
	Jay's doing the ABCs of the stock market for DH Unplugged, but the ABCs of equality.
	What is a baby or a kid, a toddler?
	This is for toddlers and kids and people that you read these books to.
	Please, baby, please.
	Here's a book.
	This is the book.
	The title of this book, Counting on Community.
	This will put the kid to sleep.
	Luckily, your No Agenda show has gone past this and is going straight to audiobooks, we've decided.
	The No Agenda Press is proud to present its first audiobook for babies.
	Gitmo Nation Publications present No Agenda Babies, read by Sir Chris Wilson and Squire Arlo Jeffrey.
	No agenda babies are very brave.
	No agenda babies yell, Shut up slave!
	No agenda babies love mac and cheese.
	No agenda babies count to 33.
	33!
	No agenda babies like their porridge.
	No agenda babies thank you for your courage.
	Thank you for your parents.
	No agenda babies like playing games.
	No agenda babies can be knights and dames.
	Knights and dames!
	No agenda babies go knight and such.
	No agenda babies resist me much.
	No agenda babies go to bed yawning.
	No agenda babies end up.
	Just go to No Agenda Gitmo Nation Productions, pick up some of those audiobooks for your babies.
	No Agenda Babies.
	That would be better than this one.
	Now, let me get just a couple more of these out of the way.
	Baby Feminists, and there's a bunch of these.
	My first book of feminism, Baby Feminists.
	Pink is for boys.
	And by the way, I have pink shirts.
	This is like presuming that no man has ever worn pink.
	This was also defended in a lame way by my daughter.
	But I'm going to finish anyway.
	And she actually defended this, too.
	One of the baby feminist books has a bunch of babies dancing around a circle.
	And the boy baby, a redhead, I might add, a redheaded baby, had a pink boa.
	Oh, God.
	I do not think.
	That pink boas are appropriate.
	The pink boas for baby boys are appropriate.
	They're not appropriate for anybody.
	What's wrong with you, man?
	You're not woke.
	You're just a joker, you know, a flamer.
	Come on.
	What is wrong with you?
	It's going on and on with this little topic.
	I mean, it's kind of gross.
	No, okay, let's put it this way.
	Fine, you want to push that stuff?
	How about baby's first gun?
	Yeah, now you're talking.
	Is there a book like that?
	Now you're talking.
	The Senate Amendment for babies.
	How about something like that?
	I think it would be a winner if we can sell it to all the MAGA hats.
	Brave baby.
	Brave baby.
	And he shoots a burglar.
	Hello?
	Exit strategy.
	What's wrong with you?
	You're giving away all our best material.
	This is perfect.
	We should totally be doing these books.
	Yeah.
	Do you know how many MAGA hats would buy him?
	Well, we can go jail and do the illustrations for him.
	If you want to do brave baby and you have him shooting somebody, a baby with a gun, it'll be a board book.
	It'll be right in there with the rest of them.
	Berkeley bookstores won't carry these books, though.
	Oh, no.
	We'll have to sell it exclusively through the Infowar store.
	Yes.
	They'd be the only store that would sell it.
	We'd make millions.
	Maybe boner pills.
	Now you're taking it too far.
	Back to the reptiles.
	Joe Biden also had to virtue signal, and in this case about immigration and illegal immigrants residing in the United States.
	I believe his first or second wife and his daughter were killed in a car accident, which is disputed, but I believe maybe the driver of the truck was drunk.
	Do you recall any?
	And I try to look it up and there's different stories everywhere.
	Like, you know, some say yes, some say no.
	Biden definitely at some point said, you know, a guy who decided to drink his lunch instead of eating it.
	So there's insinuation.
	You have to go back to the old newspaper reports to see what's what.
	Right.
	But the insinuation is that they were killed by a drunk driver, by Joe in the past.
	So here comes an interesting question about illegal immigrants.
	They go off to school wondering whether when mom comes and picks them up, is she not going to be there because an ICE agent was there to arrest her?
	Or she takes them to the doctor, that she's going to not be there because she is, quote, undocumented and an ICE agent is going to pick them up.
	So how do you change the culture?
	You change the culture by saying you're going to get fired.
	You're fired if, in fact, you do that.
	You only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed, and I don't count drunk driving as a felony.
	Wow.
	Well, drunk driving is a felony in multiple states, and doing it more than once will result in felony charges.
	I found this to be pretty crazy.
	I mean, to go that far to say...
	Well, this is interesting.
	I think I'm going to give you a clip of the day for that, and not because it's such a great clip, but because it does introduce this factor.
	Why all of us...
	Just tell me I'm wrong about this analysis.
	Wait, stop!
	Let me take my clip of the day first.
	Clip of the day.
	Otherwise we forget these things.
	Yes, true.
	I was hoping that we forget it.
	Douche.
	You know people that stop smoking, they become nuts about it.
	Yes, very anti.
	And there's people that stop drinking.
	They become nuts about it.
	Oh, what are you doing?
	Oh, how can you drink that stuff?
	If you had somebody killed, if your wife that you cried in public over, and one of your kids were killed by a drunk driver, this would be something that would linger forever.
	You'd think, yeah.
	So Biden wouldn't all of a sudden start passing off drunk driving as, eh, meh, no big deal.
	Unless there was something more to the original story.
	Right.
	There may be.
	There may be.
	I just thought, just to even say that, there are a lot of families out there who have suffered loss because of drunk drivers.
	And then to say, it's not a felony, by the way!
	I.e., you can't get kicked out of the country for being here illegally and driving drunk.
	To me, it's kind of like, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yes, you should go.
	But not to Joe.
	Yeah, you should go.
	Not to Joe.
	Not to Joe.
	Mayor Pete.
	That was a very interesting clip.
	Thank you.
	This one will not be as interesting.
	It's Mayor Pete, says enough.
	He had his...
	Interesting factor zero.
	He had his Jeb Bush moment.
	By having better hands guided by better values on those pulleys and levers of American government.
	So can I look to you to spread that sense of hope to those that you know.
	Come on!
	Here, I'll fix it for him.
	By having better hands guided by better values on those pulleys and levers of American government.
	So can I look to you to spread that sense of hope to those that you know?
	Please clap.
	Fixed it for him.
	Boy, that lame laugh is not going to get him any votes.
	I pulled it as an ISO. It's even worse as an ISO. I think it might be end of show ISO. I haven't got anything to beat it.
	You got nothing to beat it?
	Oh, okay.
	Let's go straight into heavy rotation then.
	There we go.
	Two more topics.
	Michael Bloomberg, he's out on the trail.
	He went to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
	Bloomberg is really spending, by the way.
	Apparently, if you join the Bloomberg campaign, immediately you get a brand new MacBook Pro and an iPhone 11.
	Everybody who joins.
	I'm joining.
	I know.
	It's like, I'll join.
	He's also paying people, you know, mid-level...
	There are operatives in the Boots on the Ground campaign, I guess, who typically get $4,500 a month with most of the other candidates.
	He's paying them $10,000, so he's trying to steal talent.
	That'll do it.
	Totally, it'll do it.
	I mean, you get a MacBook Pro, an iPhone 11, and $10,000 a month?
	Shit, fuck the podcast.
	I'm in.
	I'm in.
	Right.
	You can put it off podcasting and move right to that.
	Where do I sign up?
	But now he's trying to get the very much, in my mind, in play.
	You know what?
	Before you go on, can you guess what's Bloomberg's net worth?
	His net worth?
	His personal worth?
	How many billions is he worth?
	I think he's up in the...
	20 billion range?
	50 plus.
	50 plus billion.
	That's all his stock, of course.
	But it doesn't matter.
	50 plus billion.
	You can spend that.
	He can spend a billion on this campaign and it's peanuts to him.
	Anything he wants.
	Anything he wants.
	So he is now going after the African-American vote.
	And I think this is where he's going to fail.
	And whichever Democrat...
	Wants to win has to have the black vote.
	And I'm talking ADOS, Descendants of Slavery, the American black vote.
	And so he's going after it with something he calls the...
	What does he call this thing?
	The Greenwood Initiative.
	And I've put that in the show notes if anybody...
	I mean, it's more of what black Americans don't want, obviously.
	Here he is in Tulsa announcing it.
	But when you think about it from an economic perspective, the exploitation worked exactly as it was designed to do.
	Slavery, sharecropping, Jim Crow, segregation, and redlining.
	For Hunza's years, Americans systematically stole black...
	I like how he kind of passes through that pretty quickly, doesn't he?
	Hunza's.
	Hunza's.
	Hunza's years.
	Black freedom and black labor.
	A theft of labor and a transfer of wealth enshrined in law and enforced by violence.
	And the impact of that theft over a period of centuries has meant an enormous loss of wealth for individuals and families across generations.
	A kind of reverse, a compound interest in reverse.
	Well, it's time...
	Compound interest in reverse.
	Interesting.
	Like anyone in that audience understood what he was saying.
	Well, nobody understands it, because that concept doesn't exist.
	No, it's in a black hole, maybe.
	Tristan Reverse.
	Well, it's time to say enough, and to do something about it.
	To damn well suit the hundred dollars.
	Yeah!
	We got chips!
	We got chips!
	Come on, Bloomy, we got chips!
	What are you going to do?
	That is why I've come back to Tulsa.
	Because the challenge of African-American wealth creation today...
	Africa.
	I just heard that.
	Chase is having stumbling left and right here.
	Back to Tulsa.
	Because the challenge of African-American wealth creation...
	Wow.
	If you're trying to speak to African Americans, try to get it right, Africans.
	Today is inextricably linked to the racial inequalities of the past, and I'm determined to make breaking that link a centerpiece of my presidency.
	Ah, centerpiece of his presidency, he says now.
	You really have to read it to understand it, but I do have a second clip where he explains his grand plan.
	And As context for this, and I know a little bit because of the show I do with Mo, African Americans are looking for what they call something tangible.
	Reparations would be fantastic.
	Now, that's probably not going to happen.
	But any candidate that says, I'm going to give African Americans this...
	It cannot include other groups.
	It can't be to minorities.
	It can't be to black and brown people.
	No, you're brown as long as you're a descendant of slavery.
	African Americans, that's the group he needs to go after.
	That's what he's targeting, and let's see if he's going to deliver.
	Fulfilling Dr.
	King's vision of economic equality across all colors is a monumental challenge.
	But I'm not running as president to do small things, but to do big things.
	So today I'm proposing a sweeping and ambitious strategy to invest in black wealth creation and close the racial wealth gap that plagues our country.
	The strategy we're announcing today is comprehensive and inclusive, and it has three big goals.
	One, we will help a million more black families buy a house to counteract the effects of redlining and the subprime mortgage crisis.
	It's spelled out not as specifically African-Americans in this document, but again, it's done by income levels.
	Two, we will double the number of black-owned businesses, which right now are far too few.
	Magic!
	And three, we will help black families triple their wealth over the next 10 years to an all-time high.
	And notice that he goes from African Americans to black.
	I mean, this is failing.
	He's failing with this massively.
	Thank you.
	That will reduce but not eliminate the wealth gap between black and white families, but it will build the momentum we need to close it entirely someday.
	Yeah, I think he's going to fail on this.
	The whole plan is just like Kamala Harris.
	It's the same thing.
	It's like, talk a big game, and then ultimately it comes down to, oh, well, you know, it'll be for low-income families, which is really racist.
	And just on the building homes, the CFPB... What is that?
	Is that the...
	What is the CFPB? I don't know.
	Hold on.
	I should have prepared for this.
	The CFPB is the Consumer...
	Oh, it's Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
	Yeah, the one that's going to keep robocalls from ever happening again as of a number of years ago.
	Oh, by the way, I got five yesterday.
	It was in one hour.
	I get them all day long.
	Including the Social Security one twice.
	The Consumer Financial Bureau, what did I just say?
	CFPB, has sent a request to Congress to amend the ability to repay slash qualified mortgage rule to remove the DTI... And you may remember DTI, debt to income, for all borrowers of, what did they call it?
	They said it wasn't subprime, it was almost prime loans.
	So they're doing the exact same thing that was structural up until 2008.
	So even if you don't really have the wealth in order to purchase a home...
	It'll collapse the economy.
	That's exactly what will happen, yes.
	They're removing the DTI requirement, or it's been requested.
	Let's see if it happens.
	I find this fascinating.
	He's full of crap, this guy.
	But that's not Bloomberg.
	That is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
	Oh, they're full of crap, too.
	But let's get back to Bloomberg.
	So he's advertising heavily here.
	Yeah.
	And when I say heavily, I mean heavily.
	Him and Steyer.
	Wait, wait.
	Is it anti-Trump ads, or is it only pro-Bloomberg?
	The Bloomberg ads are not...
	The Steyer ads are anti-Trump.
	And they're also pro-Bloomberg.
	He's got some ads that aren't just pure anti-Trump, but he has more anti-Trump ads.
	Bloomberg ads are subtly anti-Trump, but they're mostly Bloomberg.
	Bloomberg's a great guy.
	Bloomberg came out of nowhere.
	He was fired when he was 40, and now he's worth 50 billion.
	I don't know what that means.
	Does that impresses people?
	I have no idea.
	But he's advertising and advertising and advertising.
	Especially in California, which is a shallow culture.
	You said it.
	It's a known fact.
	It's a shallow culture, and we like, you know, we're Hollywood.
	You know, if you can put a babe up there, put somebody that's attractive.
	Right.
	This guy is unattractive.
	He's too New York-y.
	And he's...
	I just don't see him getting anybody voting for him.
	Can we have a good looking guy?
	You could run pretty much any Hollywood guy that's dumb as a fireplug But, you know, anyone, and they'd get more votes than Bloomberg.
	It's unbelievable.
	The thing is...
	They think that Bloomberg thinks he can just buy his way into this.
	It's not going to happen.
	Apparently, his ad spend has actually increased the cost per minute of advertising, of political advertising.
	He has single-handedly raised the price because he's just flooding the market with money.
	And it's...
	He's really only getting any attention at all, I think, because he's flooding the television mainstream market with money.
	I see it in Texas here, too.
	Except the ones he runs here in Austin are anti-Trump vote for me.
	And it's Bloomberg with a lot of black people.
	Huh.
	Well, it'll be fun to see.
	I'd like to see when Super Tuesday comes around, which is he's targeting those states.
	Yeah.
	And California's one of them.
	And California's got a lot of electoral votes, and so does Texas.
	So Texas and California will be targeted.
	And any other state with a lot of electoral votes will get targeted by Bloomberg.
	I don't think people are seeing these ads in Montana.
	Yeah.
	I could be wrong, but people can report in where they see these ads.
	Well, all I know is we're seeing lots of these ads.
	And it's just Michael Bloomberg is this great guy and he can do this and he can do that.
	But he's just, so they're undynamic ads.
	They're not, and Bloomberg never smiles ever.
	Not really.
	Have you ever seen the guy won't smile?
	I mean, even Steyer fakes a smile once in a while.
	Yes.
	As seen in the most recent animated No Agenda feature.
	It's very funny.

	Final Reptiles, although semi-reptile, one of them is The Big Lawsuit.
	Well, a Democratic duel happening off the campaign trail.
	2020 hopeful Tulsi Gabbard filing a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton.
	Gabbard was on Fox& Friends this morning.
	For Hillary Clinton and her powerful allies to attempt to smear me and accuse me, really implying that I'm a traitor to the country that I love, is something that I cannot allow to go unchecked.
	Clinton did not name Gabbert, but she strongly implied that she was referring to the Hawaii Congresswoman.
	Clinton's spokesperson is calling this lawsuit ridiculous.
	I did read the lawsuit.
	She makes some good points in there, although it is indeed an issue, I think, legally, that she never actually said Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian agent.
	That's not true.
	She never said that.
	No, I know that, but I've gone to, I spent a lot of time with these attorneys that talk about, that are involved in libel and slander.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, good, good.
	You do not have to really name the person.
	If the implication is there, it's as good as naming them.
	So you have to be careful.
	Wow.
	In the papers for the lawsuit, it says, I'm going to paraphrase because I couldn't find it very quickly, Tulsi Gabbard is a natural person, has not in the past currently or does not expect in the future to be contemplating suicide.
	I thought that was a nice touch.
	I thought that was good.
	Insurance policy in the suit.
	Gotta do that.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, John C. Come on!
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all the ships at 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, checking in at noagendastream.com.
	Let's see what our current tally is for today.
	Amount of trolls, 1,036 trolls at the ready and trolling away, which we love because that's what it's for.
	Go to noagendastream.com.
	Had a couple of phone calls over the past few days.
	We're going to work on upgrading the website to make it really functional because we have all the pieces we need.
	Really all the pieces we need.
	I'm very excited about how that's going to work out.
	That is where you can find all kinds of podcasts.
	They're on the stream 24-7.
	You can go into the chat room, which we like to call the troll room.
	Learn about it.
	Learn about other trolls.
	And just troll if you want.
	A lot of the live shows are fun to do.
	And then a big in the morning to the artist for the artwork for episode 1209.
	The title of that, as we already alluded to, was Rewilding.
	Popular term, co-opted right away by Greta.
	The artwork was a comic strip blogger.
	And you liked it right away.
	You said it was the only one that made you laugh.
	Yeah, it made me laugh out loud.
	And it was...
	Because it was so silly.
	It was...
	It was the climate change.
	We had quite a decent theory and perhaps even a new exit strategy business of providing vasectomies to men who want to save the earth.
	Z is for vasectomy, babies.
	I think I have a short...
	Have your baby.
	No, it actually goes like this.
	So cut your nuts off.
	Yeah, cut your nuts off.
	Cut your nuts off to save the planet.
	Cut your nuts off to save the planet.
	Full version, end of show.
	Thanks again to Mr.
	Chris Wilson.
	Yeah, so there was a picture of meat, no meat, a picture of an airplane, don't fly the airplane, and a very well, it's a cartoonist rendering of hairy balls, and it was something very funny about it.
	Yeah.
	And it just worked.
	It's the short, the hairs.
	It had an art crumb quality to it that was fun.
	Ooh, wow, that's quite the compliment.
	Comic strip blogger did that for us.
	Yeah.
	I think this is his wheelhouse.
	No agenda, artgenerator.com.
	There were many other fantastic examples and submissions for the show.
	We have about ten times the amount of art as we do episodes, but it's fun to go take a look.
	They're fun to use for other things.
	It's completely open source.
	Noagenda shop uses them and pays the artists themselves and the show.
	And you can participate yourself.
	Go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And I did want to promote a new website, which one of our producers put together.
	I don't know if he wants to be named, so I won't mention him by name yet.
	Noagendaexperience.com.
	And I think that this may possibly...
	Be a contender for replacing, not the domain name, but the NoAgendaShow.com.
	If you look at this website, NoAgendaExperience.com, he's taken, and this is what I love about our value-for-value network of producers, He's taken all these disparate pieces, pulled them together, so right away when you hit the page, you see the last four episodes.
	If you click on an episode, it brings up a player, but it also has the transcript, and the transcript plays along with the audio.
	It's beautiful.
	It's really quite astounding.
	It's really cool.
	There's action.
	There's actually a service out there that does that sort of thing, and they are extremely overpriced.
	Well, this is just taking all the different pieces that I produce through the Freedom Controller, but also the transcripts, which ClogWog in Australia does.
	We've got the No Agenda Player integration.
	I'm really impressed by this, and I'm liking this as just a total...
	Like a place to go.
	And it has, you know, the network.
	It has all the different websites that are important.
	I'm going to give it the once-over.
	Yeah, I'm very, very impressed and kind of excited about it.
	That's one way people provide value to the show.
	The other is through finances, and we definitely need that, and we do have people to thank.
	We like to thank the top donors for each episode and bestow them with the well-deserved title of executive producer or subsequently associate executive producer.
	And let's see who we've got on today's list.
	Yeah, and it's a real credit.
	Sir Husky Bottoms of the Hardwoods is our opening executive producer.
	He's top of the list.
	$464.04.
	He's in Franklin, Tennessee.
	Sweet little town.
	Yay.
	I want to tell you something, but first let me tell you this.
	I only realized how long...
	This is a gag from the last show.
	I only realized how long it's been since my last donation when I searched for my donation math.
	My only donation last year was in the amount of $62 on September 3rd, which must have been Adam's birthday.
	I need a dedouching!
	Oh, hold on a second.
	I was lowering the desk.
	Here comes the dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	So he is now at the lower level of Baron, which is Baronet.
	Which I'd like to take the liberty to request a title change.
	Check that and make sure it's Baronet.
	Oh, I will, as you continue, yes?
	As I'm in the final stretch of closing my business, I'd like to change my name from Sir Husky Bottoms or the Hardwoods to, it would be Baronet Mule Strong, I believe.
	I have that, I have it corrected in the show notes.
	You're sure he's going to be a Baronet?
	Well, if I'm not mistaken, three knights is a baronet.
	I think it's four knights are baron.
	Do they only have Viscount in there somewhere?
	You are the peerage committee.
	I hate to say it.
	I know, but this is a numbers thing.
	It sometimes confuses me.
	Numbers, man!
	It's complicated.
	I'm glad you do the finances for the show.
	It makes me feel really secure.
	Yeah.
	Tina always asks me, you sure you trust Dvorak with all the money?
	I say, what do you mean?
	Maybe Double Knight is Baronet and 3K is Baron.
	Somebody in the troll room, look this up quick.
	Don't come up with the answer.
	I'll just keep reading.
	My pronunciation being the Sheriff of Leaper's Fork.
	As I hearken back to the days of John harassing Adam about his spin class, oh, I should go back into that.
	I can only assume he might have some thoughts on running into a fellow knight.
	Sir...
	Sir Russ, I guess, in a hot yoga class, hot yoga, H-O-T yoga, here in Franklin, Tennessee.
	I'm sure that once Russ hears of my ascension to the Franklin peerage, he will have no choice but to donate.
	Oh, so in other words, Sir Russ hasn't been donating.
	No, but what does that have to do with my spin class?
	Apparently, he is worried that if you're in one of these...
	Kind of classes, you know, where it's mostly women and you're there as the guy, you know what I'm saying?
	Get my drift, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
	Mm-hmm.
	That you have, there must be some protocol for approaching another night.
	Oh.
	Hmm.
	So he doesn't know.
	By the way.
	I'm here weeks away from completing my last commitments and I will be able to switch gears from business owner to salary and commission board.
	Could I please get some Trump jobs karma as well as an asset liquidation goat karma?
	Yes, and he will be a baron.
	A double knight is baronet.
	Then you get baron.
	You should kind of know this.
	You are the peer.
	I do know it.
	I do know it.
	I'm right now.
	I didn't get enough sleep.
	Oh, it's okay.
	All righty.
	Jobs!
	You've got...
	There we go.
	We need a report back on the efficacy of the Trump karma.
	Yes, and I keep getting messages.
	I have not heard from someone who said it didn't work.
	I have heard from several people saying it does work.
	I think there's a version that doesn't work, and I think we're staying away from that version.
	Okay.
	I'm just guessing.
	All right.
	Frank Asgenstadt said, Knight of Armandale, Baron of Stonington, Viscount of Port Phillip Bay, Australia.
	Wow.
	That's the way you do it, by the way.
	Right there.
	42590.
	Use them up.
	Hello, John Adams.
	It's been a while since my last executive producer donation to Be Precise.
	It was back in June 2017.
	Now we have two guys in a row giving us...
	Detailed dates.
	I like it.
	Previous donations.
	It's in honor of my daughter's upcoming wedding on Sunday, 26th January, which is also Australia Day.
	Oh.
	Some we don't.
	Write that down for the newsletter.
	It'll be Australia.
	We should make a big deal out of it.
	Yes.
	The donation amount matches my daughter's birthday of 25th April 1990, which also happens to be Anzac Day.
	Another significant day in Australian history.
	I'd like some karma for my...
	Well, I don't know what that is.
	Somebody might know.
	No, we've discussed Anzac.
	Go ahead, keep reading.
	I'll tell you what it is.
	Okay, I'd like some karma for my incredible wife, Michelle, to ensure Sunday's wedding celebration goes smoothly.
	My monthly 11-11 has promoted me to Viscount on this path to earldom next.
	Keep up the amazing work because the M5M certainly won't do it.
	P.S. Please feel free to butcher the pronunciations of my surname.
	Everyone else does.
	Frank Agenstadt, Knight of the Armandale, Baron of Stonington, Viscount of Port Phillip Bay, Australia.
	Anzac Day is a commemoration of all those fallen in wars in Australia and New Zealand.
	And I think it's an April 25th.
	There you go.
	It's an April.
	And he wanted a karma, so we'll give him that.
	You've got karma.
	Ahem.
	Excuse me.
	Anonymous comes in at $350.
	I would like to return some of the value the show has given me after many failed and expensive...
	What?
	IWF treatment?
	I think it means IVF. Oh, it says IW. Okay.
	IVF treatments.
	My smoking hot wife fell into depression.
	I did not know what to do.
	Luckily, a producer mentioned the Crichton model of the donation segment in a donation segment.
	Short conversation with a specialist gave her hope.
	And it worked out.
	Wow.
	I would appreciate some...
	There you go.
	Huh?
	There you go.
	Now you're talking.
	I would appreciate some baby karma so it all goes well and we can soon have a new slave in Gitmo Nation cow.
	Gitmo Nation cow land.
	Thank you for your show and special thanks to the producers.
	Love and light.
	The Crichton model fertility care system is a form of natural family planning which involves identifying the fertile period during a woman's menstrual cycle.
	Okay, that's...
	Isn't that just what they called the thermometer method?
	Or the rhythm method?
	The rhythm method, yeah.
	Hey, we're going to send you some badass baby karma right now.
	Let's see if we can make that work.
	You've got karma.
	Al, Lavender Blossoms is here with $33.33.
	That's a little tip we get for plugging his lavenderblossoms.org.
	We don't plug it.
	He puts it in his donation notes and he sends us products.
	No, we like it.
	We like the products.
	It's not that we're doing any sort of extracurricular favor.
	Well, when you say plug it, it sounds like it's some kind of ad.
	I never thought of an ad as a plug.
	Ads are paid for.
	Yes.
	That's fine.
	I just want to make sure that everyone understands that we love the product.
	In fact, he started the business.
	I think sent us some product.
	We liked it.
	Gave it to some other people.
	Mimi uses the CBD creams.
	All those different varieties.
	She's only found two that are worth of powder.
	Lavender Blossom is one of them, and the other one was Mary's.
	Those are the two brands.
	Plug in it.
	And the main reason is because many of these products stink.
	They actually stink.
	Lavender Blossom smells nice.
	Yeah, they literally stink.
	All right.
	Baroness Susan Johnson comes in.
	She's our first associate executive producer at $280 in Hillsborough, Oregon.
	She wrote a card.
	Oh.
	I've got two cards actually for this show.
	That was a total number of checks over 50.
	And they're all cards.
	It's a thank you card.
	It's very pretty.
	A Dame Drive donation to go towards Haley Hunsinger's Damehood for her birthday on January 30th.
	I think she's on there.
	She turns 28 in the morning.
	Baroness Susan.
	There you have it.
	How nice.
	And we'll have her on the list.
	Thank you, Baroness.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	For Haley Hunzinger.
	Todd Troutman comes in.
	She's over there down the street from you in Austin, Texas.
	That $250.
	It finally clicked...
	That any media that never mentions the Smith-Mund Modernization Act is in itself propaganda.
	That's a good point.
	And that's essentially all of them.
	No agenda is the only source I'm aware of that reveals this important information.
	Unconcerned with anything being read or not, Just want to show appreciation for the value.
	And we'll show it right back with a little bit of karma for you.
	You've got karma.
	It's funny, you're both in Austin, you're both pushing this idea.
	Personally, I've always believed that the media's been promoting propaganda with or without the Smith-Mundag.
	It doesn't seem to stop him, let's put it that way.
	Baron David of Pennsylvania comes in at $222.22.
	Here's a bag of deuces.
	Thank you, Baron David.
	Scott Morgan, $204.
	And this comes from the No Agenda Local 512 January meetup.
	Yes, I'll be reading the meetup report in the second donation segment.
	Thank you very much, Scott.
	He is Sir Scott of the Armory, so he organizes quite a bit.
	And I'm sad that I wasn't at the last meetup.
	You know who was there?
	Sergeant Fred, our old buddy Sergeant Fred.
	Vietnam vet Sergeant Fred.
	I have not spoken to him in years.
	He always used to come in with double nickels on the dime.
	And I know he had some health issues, truly Agent Orange health issues, so we wish him well, of course, and hopefully I'll make it to one of these.
	They always do it on Thursdays, so I don't feel like I have to go.
	That's the point, and I appreciate it, but I would like to see some people.
	I'd like to see everybody again, so thank you to the No Agenda Local 512-512-January Meetup group.
	You guys are great.
	Sir Don, Baron of New Hampshire, comes in with $203.
	Can I ask you a question?
	I'm sorry.
	Can I ask you a question?
	So if a meetup group hits an executive or associate executive producer level, shouldn't we have a different thing for them, like a garrison?
	I'm just spitballing, as we say in politics.
	Shouldn't we have levels for the groups, for the meetups?
	So you want to turn the meetups into a competition?
	No, I was just saying it would be nice.
	Maybe people...
	Well, yes.
	It's called gamification, if you really must know, and I thought it would be fun.
	Well, maybe.
	We'll think about it.
	If it's demanded, we'll do it.
	Okay, that's the way to go.
	That's how we always do everything.
	If you bitch at us enough, we'll finally do it.
	Just keep the notes coming.
	Onward with Sir Don, Baron of New Hampshire, who says, John, my name is pronounced Keel.
	Okay, Sir Keel, Baron of New Hampshire.
	Huh.
	That's interesting.
	Just a joke.
	Just to get around to check out the Animated No Agenda, pretty...
	Pretty friggin' awesome.
	And I subscribed, and my three different Gmail accounts all subscribed.
	Very good.
	Excellent.
	That's what we need.
	That's how you get the algos interested.
	Yeah.
	It's been a while since I last donated, but always listening.
	Thanks for the dose of sanity you bring to my life.
	My brother, who is entrenched in mainstream media and the university life claims he is clinically depressed from all the shit.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	in the mouth.
	Thanks for bringing my sanity, some karma, please, and the long-lost...
	It's science.
	Thanks, guys.
	I think it would be worth it to try and hit him in the mouth.
	I mean, no one's really too far gone.
	I had a...
	Well, let me get to last.
	I had a dinner.
	I was at dinner.
	Let me give him his karma first, and then I want to hear about your dinner.
	Look it up.
	It's science.
	You've got karma.
	I have more thoughts on this, but I'm starting to notice a trend, because after having lunch with one of the LibJoes, and then having dinner in a Berkeley house with a bunch of people that seemed normal, until, you know, Trump was brought up into the conversation, which was not by me.
	They just felt like doing it, but I couldn't help but, you know, toss in a couple of things like...
	Out of the blue.
	What did you do?
	What did you do?
	Well, I asked a simple question because somebody brought up, you know, the country's going to pot and Trump's a horrible guy and Putin's running the country.
	This keeps coming up.
	He's Putin's puppet.
	Putin's running the country.
	That's why we keep putting sanctions on him, I guess.
	It's interesting.
	So I say, you're telling me that you think Putin is running the country.
	And she says, whose dad was CIA, incidentally, she mentions that.
	She said, well, no, but he's calling the shots.
	Yeah.
	And everybody nodded in agreement at this table.
	They're all bouncing their heads up and down.
	And I'm looking around thinking, are these people insane?
	They literally, not in any other way, they literally think Putin is running the country.
	Or at least calling the shots.
	How is this even in the realm of...
	It's very easy, John.
	I don't know who these people were.
	These are headline readers, man.
	These are the same people that I had dinner with.
	They get a headline.
	They hear a lead from Jake Tapper or they hear from Rachel because they only consume one type of diet.
	They're eating kale all day.
	Eventually, you're going to get sick if you eat kale all day.
	So they're eating stuff that's really...
	Babies in cages!
	Oh, really?
	They did the babies in cages?
	Now, you didn't get into that with anyone, did you?
	Like, oh, actually, it was Obama.
	Tell me you didn't do that.
	No, but it was late enough in the evening, because the dinner was pretty much over.
	We were eating dessert.
	I think it's something that somebody said like that.
	And I said, well, this is great, but I think I'm done.
	I wasn't going to get into a political discussion because there were just people that didn't really keep up with politics.
	They weren't following the news.
	And I bailed out and everybody else bailed out too.
	The whole thing broke up right there.
	Oh, man.
	Putin!
	That's so sad.
	Damn Putin.
	I mean, I hear pundits say that from time to time.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, they have some statistic to back it up, like, yeah, Putin's...
	I mean, it was an American policy previously to whatever it takes to keep Russia out of the Middle East.
	So for people who are still in the USSR, Soviet Union frame of mind...
	I think it comes across as very scary that we've made, I think, the smart move.
	Say, here, have at it.
	Have at it.
	You enjoy.
	We don't need them anymore.
	We got the oil.
	We got our own oil.
	We don't need it.
	That's at least what I've told.
	I have not counted the oil myself.
	Well, whatever.
	It's very depressing that people think Putin's calling the shots and they're rational.
	Is that really depressing to you?
	It is.
	It's because these are otherwise rational people.
	And why would you live in a country where you think Putin's calling the shots that Russians are running the United States of America?
	Are you kidding me?
	I feel pity.
	I feel that people are sick.
	These people truly have some health issues.
	And they're doing it to themselves.
	No, there's no doubt about that.
	You can tell.
	No president really runs.
	We have a process government, and you can see it.
	It's on display.
	We have 12 hours of debate about how we're going to run a trial.
	I mean, this is process government.
	Everything is process.
	This is why nothing ever works.
	It works fine.
	It's intended to be so.
	So people who think that Putin is somehow running the show are idiots and have been mind-controlled and should be careful at what other things they're thinking outside of politics.
	I can't imagine.
	They're making bad decisions all day, all night.
	Man, oh man, oh man.
	Okay.
	Onward with our last associate executive producer, Sir Carl with a K in Rochester, New York, $200.33.
	Gents, I heard John playing clips from a podcast and making fun of it on a recent episode.
	Well done.
	Huh.
	I knew I had to contribute to the show again.
	Keep up the great work.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Hey, you gotta pan another podcast, man.
	Apparently, people like that.
	I don't know what it is you play.
	Well, you know, I wanted to do that as a feature some years ago.
	No, I'm against it.
	I'm against it.
	I don't like it, but...
	You were against it, and I knuckled under.
	If it's an M5M podcast, like the Chuck Toddcast, you know...
	No, no, it was like the normal...
	It was actually the first one I ridiculed, which the guys got a kick out of, was the morning stream.
	Yeah.
	Oh, boy.
	Did that stir up a whole bunch of crap.
	So you don't live in the online world?
	You close the show and you're done and you go finish your book?
	No.
	I'm out of here.
	You're writing vinegar stories, and I have to deal with the fallout, you know, because no one emails you.
	I get it all.
	Yeah, well, yeah.
	Well, the guys at the Morning Stream, you know, are great.
	Is that still on?
	I don't know if it is anymore.
	That's a good question, which is, you know, that is a good question.
	I don't know if it is.
	These guys do a lot of work.
	He asked for No Jingles, No Karma.
	Karma will not give that to him, but I would like to play something for your friends.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	And I think you might want to consider an upgrade of friends.
	Thank you.
	There's only so much you can do in the San Francisco Bay Area.
	This also shows you the necessity for the No Agenda meetups.
	This is exactly why people like to go hang out together, because even if you have different beliefs, and I mean beliefs, like godly beliefs, religious beliefs, political beliefs, it doesn't matter.
	No one cares, because they all understand.
	We're all here.
	You think this, I think that, whatever, fine.
	I'm not upset by it.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	And thanks to these executive producers and associate executive producers for keeping the show going for yet another episode.
	It is highly appreciated.
	We'll be bestowing Sir Husky Bottoms of the hardwoods with his title upgrade in our second donation segment.
	We also thank everybody who comes in over 50 but under the associate executive producer level.
	You can help us for the next show.
	That's a can, C-A-N. Help us by going to the following website address.
	Dvorak.org.
	And remember that hitting a friend in the mouth can make a friend forever!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water.
	Order.
	Shut up.
	That guy's so goofy.
	That's a good one.
	The spy candidate.
	The spook.
	Pete Buttigieg.
	No one's fooled by you, Poot.
	We know that you're a spook.
	It's okay.
	Good try.
	They always try.
	They do pretty good.
	Well, you know, their limitations is the problem.
	They can't veer too much away from the...
	You know, you get put on a road.
	You can't really you can't gun the engine.
	You can't do anything.
	It's too restrictive.
	It's not that spooks.
	I mean, the fact that George H.W. Bush became president is only kind of a fluke that because he was vice president.
	He can kind of coast in.
	Right.
	Speaking of which, what we didn't talk about because it's pretty boring, Hillary Clinton and she has been propagated.
	We don't have to play clips or anything.
	She's been helping spur along the anti-Bernie move, started by CNN. No, started by the New York Times, let's be honest.
	Okay, well...
	Really, back in the previous election is when it started, when they actually screwed him out of a nomination.
	The M5M, mainstream media, not showing any of his rallies, any of the girth and the vastness that is Bernie on the road.
	It's quite spectacular.
	It's not like Trump, but it's Trump-like in size, enthusiasm.
	It's definitely there.
	So we had a, you know, we saw Elizabeth Warren in cahoots with CNN, trying to take out Bernie, make him look bad.
	Then all of a sudden, again, a CNN poll.
	And why people still look at, I don't look at polls, because we learned...
	That you can be 98% certain one candidate's going to win, but then it was really 98% certain the other candidate, and it was all the pollsters.
	So I don't see why people still rely on polls other than they need to fill up some vapid space on television.
	Bernie ahead of Biden.
	We should mention, no pollster since the debacle of 2016 has shown any chops that Well,
	that's what I'm basically saying.
	Polls are no good.
	They're just not good.
	They're not working.
	And why they're not working, I don't know.
	But the reliance is astounding when you get a CNN poll all of a sudden.
	And I love that MOE, the margin of error, is now like 5%.
	You know, they're just throwing shit in there.
	So it could be neck and neck race, 5% margin of error.
	There could be a 10-point difference for all you know.
	It shows that Bernie is moving ahead of Joe Biden.
	And then Hillary Clinton comes out and says, nobody likes him.
	He's a jerk.
	No good.
	Screw that guy.
	All a part of her Hulu documentary, which I'm now more...
	My understanding is, I haven't seen the documentary, is that it's not part of the documentary.
	No, it's a part of her interviews.
	It's part of the interview process.
	She said this...
	During interviews.
	Yes.
	About the documentary.
	Yes.
	And that's exactly my point.
	Is that the documentary, no one cares about the documentary.
	Sorry.
	The documentary is meant so that she can have a reason for being interviewed in this very period.
	That's why it's after Super Tuesday.
	She needs to be either in control or I don't know if...
	I mean, I'm still so hopeful, John, that your prediction of her swooping in may be in a broken convention.
	Well, I haven't given up completely.
	It's a reason for her to speak.
	Scott Adams actually had a...
	I'm surprised you didn't pick up on this.
	It's kind of your beat.
	His theory...
	Is Hillary wants to annihilate Bernie again, and the Clintons may very well still control the DNC. I mean, the DNC owed a lot of money, and the Clinton campaign bailed them out.
	I don't know how the back office is looking, but she may still be in control.
	And her saying Bernie's no good, and this was Scott Adams' theory, is to have Biden...
	The candidate.
	Then throw Kamala Harris as VP candidate.
	And of course, both of them are no good, can't really tie their shoelaces, so she would still be controlling the strings in the background.
	That's Scott Adams' theory.
	I've heard about this and I would have, I'm not unaware of it and it is my beat, but it's dumb.
	I mean, everything Scott comes up with is genius and this is one of them.
	For one thing, Kamala Harris is, and you've got your ADOS podcast, you know this, she is not beloved by the black Americans.
	I just like hearing that.
	You've got your ADOS podcast, thanks.
	Thanks for categorizing it that way.
	Now, Bernie, not Bernie, Biden has the black vote.
	If there's a black vote to be had, he's got it because he was the vice president of Obama and everybody likes him.
	He'll get the vote.
	He'll lose that same vote if he puts Kamala Harris, the cop, the DA, on the ticket.
	So that makes no sense that he'd do that.
	He won't do that.
	He'll put, I mean, there's better qualified people, but I still think I'm going with Grisham, the governor of New Mexico.
	Don't you still...
	The VP isn't chosen in the Democratic round.
	And I think very much the black vote is in play for the Democratic nominee.
	The VP candidate isn't picked until much later.
	Or am I wrong?
	No, the VP candidate...
	Traditionally, not traditionally, way back in the olden days, they used to be how the other party would have a VP. Nowadays, the way it's done is that once they determine at the convention who is going to be the Democrat candidate, he sends a list of people that he wants to be his running mate.
	With emphasis on number one on the list, they always pick that person.
	And whoever, in other words, Biden, if Biden is chosen, will pick the running mate.
	And they will just be unanimously, yay, yay, yay, we want that person too.
	And I think it's going to be Grisham, it could be others.
	I think Klobuchar is an interesting idea.
	But she's not diverse enough.
	Grisham is both a member of the Hispanic Caucus and she's a member of the Native American Caucus.
	She's got three check marks.
	She's a woman, Hispanic, Native American.
	Boom.
	One, two, three.
	Klobuchar's got one check.
	Boom.
	It's a woman.
	Unless you want to put a check box next to throw staplers at her staffers.
	May I give you a tip next time you have lunch with your friends?
	Instead of saying...
	Whenever he wins the nomination, as in it's always a guy, I think you should say Z. I should say that, but I'm not going to because I'll never remember it.
	And I'm not saying he because there's not a chance a woman could win because there is.
	New York Times went nuts and decided to roll out again just to slam Bernie.
	They rolled out a huge 3,500 word.
	I got notes from people that are normal Democrats stunned by this.
	They put out an editorial and Kind of with the big pictures and 3,500 words was a long, long op-ed to say the least.
	They're normally 800 words.
	I'm advocating for Klobuchar and Warren because a woman should be running for president and it should be one of these two, kind of kicking Biden into the curb.
	I think you're being way too intellectual about this.
	The only theory I can see now, other than some kind of brokered convention where Hillary somehow gets the nomination, seems very unlikely.
	The most obvious Occam's razor is Hillary VP Joe Dyes.
	It's simple.
	There's a track record.
	Everything is there.
	I mean, it all makes sense.
	Occam's razor includes the Hillary, but the Clinton hit list does that in Occam's razor.
	That's what I'm saying.
	What do you mean?
	That is truly Occam's razor.
	We have other candidates putting in their lawsuits, I don't want to kill myself while I'm suing Hillary.
	Occam's razor is a meaning, you know, there's a reason that this is simple.
	It's right there in front of our eyes.
	I don't think anyone...
	People would love her to be VP. And everyone would know.
	Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
	Go, Joe!
	And then, you know, people going up to Joe like, hey, Joe.
	You know, see if they can get him into a heart attack.
	Don't you think?
	Well, Joe actually said he's only going to run for one term.
	Ah, no, there you go.
	There you go.
	So she would have term two.
	Ah, fantastic.
	Here is just a small piece of an interview regarding the Hulu documentary.
	The director of this is Nanette Bernstein, who I really like her work because she did The Kid Stays in the Picture.
	Which was the movie version of Robert, what's his name?
	Robert Evans.
	Yes, Robert Evans.
	Fantastic movie.
	I think it won some awards even.
	So I'm very disappointed in this drivel that she's been clearly paid to make.
	I was looking forward to talking with Nanette because I really found myself in great rapport with her.
	We had originally thought about doing a campaign film and then she came back and said, you know, your story is part of a much larger story about women and everything that's going on.
	And I just was really, you know, very comfortable.
	It's interesting what she said.
	I wasn't quite sure what she meant.
	We thought we would just do a campaign video.
	And I was wondering, does that mean it would just be about the campaign, or were they going to do a campaign video together?
	Do you know what I mean?
	I can't quite figure out...
	That's actually a very interesting catch.
	Because it's almost implying, since the discussion had to be recent after the 2016 election...
	That she was going to do, well, it could have implied she wants to do a video about the previous campaign or a new campaign video, a video of her running again.
	And then we have the Madonna post.
	That was from 2016.
	You do realize that, don't you?
	Oh, I didn't realize that.
	Okay, I didn't want to call you out on Twitter publicly, but...
	Oh, you should have called me out.
	Oh, you should have just sent me an IM and said, get erased.
	No, no.
	I did what everybody else does and shrug her shoulders and go, it's Dvorak.
	Oh, whatever, it's fine.
	I've posted old stuff.
	I never knew that existed.
	It said it right there, posted in 2016.
	It's a little timestamp.
	Why is she doing it and posting it again, then?
	What's the point?
	Did she retweet it?
	Somebody did.
	So it was just a retweet, but she didn't repost it.
	It was the old post from 2016.
	I thought Madonna reposted it.
	No.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Let me listen to this Hillary thing again.
	I want to listen to what she says.
	I was looking forward to talking with Annette because I really found myself in great rapport with her.
	We had originally thought about doing a campaign film and then she came back and said, you know, your story is part of a much larger...
	Nah, I think it was thinking about just doing a campaign film, which tells me even more that this was only intended, particularly with the release date, because you release this any...
	This is not like Theaters don't have any space for her movie.
	No, it's going to be on Hulu.
	March 6, I think, is the release date.
	It's chosen.
	She's got all of Sundance.
	She's going to be all over the place.
	It's just to get interviews and be a force in the media around the Democratic nomination.
	And probably the intent was, you know, we'll just do some bullshit film about, pardon my language, about the campaign.
	So I just need something so I can be in the media.
	And then, it's like, well, this actually could be pretty good.
	You know, let's do something about how fantastic I am, just in case.
	I don't know.
	But I don't think it was for a campaign video.
	It was really...
	Yeah, you're probably right.
	That's the way I see it.
	Uh-oh.
	Dogs are people, too.
	Yes, dogs are people, too.
	I wanted to mention two stories about our furry friends, our fur babies, the dogs, who are clearly people.
	The first one is almost an OTG segment at the same time.
	Spotify, and now also Netflix, but Spotify is the one I checked, now enabling you to create a playlist for your dog so that when you're at home or when you're not home and your dog is there, then your dog can feel good about him or herself and not feel too lonely.
	And I was very interested in exactly what these playlists were.
	You know, I'm thinking we're going to get Bow Wow Wow.
	I mean, are we going to get Snoop Dogg?
	Let the dogs out.
	I mean, what exactly would this playlist be?
	I have to give Spotify credit to whoever is running the show over there.
	It is a complete profiling exercise.
	You are the one that creates the playlist for your dog.
	It has like, is your dog big?
	It's all about your mood, your feelings, your thinking.
	They're identifying you with really personal, emotional information by making you think that this is going to help your dog not be lonely.
	It's very smart.
	They are capturing 15 different pages of information so they can then come up with some playlist for your dog.
	I think it's very smart.
	They did a good job on that.
	And then they're selling it.
	Right.
	All that data.
	Exactly.
	Got a big...
	Well, it's causing some consternation from the U.S. Department of Transportation, who is now seeking comment on proposed amendments to regulation of service animals on flights.
	And I am very happy that they are opening up this...
	This craziness, and I will explain briefly, there is a thing as a service animal, typically it's a dog, and these are trained specifically for people with certain disabilities.
	These disabilities are typically mobility, vision, auditory issues, and there are very strict ADA, American Disabilities Act laws.
	You can't even ask someone to About what their dog does.
	As long as it has gone through the training...
	Under penalty of what?
	Penalty of law.
	You're not allowed...
	Under penalty of law.
	What happens to me if I ask somebody what their dog does?
	No.
	They can sue you.
	You're not allowed to ask that.
	You can say...
	They don't even know my name.
	Is the dog trained for your disability?
	You're not even allowed to ask what the disability is.
	I've studied this, so I'm telling you this.
	No, no can do.
	The problem is...
	People started to buy service dog vests and little badges and stickers so they could take their dog on the plane.
	It started with dogs and then it went all the way up to miniature ponies, the little horses.
	And this is all for emotional support.
	And finally, because it's very problematic for people of actual service dogs because people don't understand.
	It's very confusing in all realms of service and particularly to them and the animals, the actual service animals.
	So, the proposal is, define a service animal as a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.
	No longer will an emotional support animal be considered a service animal.
	That's the biggest one and I'm all in on that.
	However, they're considering a category for a psychiatric service animal to be a service animal and require the same training and treatment of psychiatric service animals or other service animals.
	So you can't just have an emotional support animal.
	And thank God, put your pets with the neighbors like everybody else does.
	It will allow airlines to require passengers with a disability who are traveling with a service animal to check in at the airport one hour prior to travel time required for the general public to ensure sufficient time to process the service animal documentation and observe the animal.
	It will require airlines to promptly check in passengers with service animals who are subject to an advanced check in process.
	It will allow airlines to limit the number of service animals traveling with a single passenger.
	Allows airlines to require a service animal to fit within its handler's foot space on the aircraft.
	It will continue to allow airlines to refuse transportation to service animals that exhibit aggressive behavior and to prohibit airlines from refusing to transport a service animal solely on the basis of breed.
	Most importantly, done with you dog people.
	And I have nothing against dogs.
	I really despise the dog owners ripping off the joke in the system, jerking everybody around with your poodle with a sticker on his head saying, the service animal is an emotional support animal.
	Blow me out of here.
	Goodbye.
	Now, you can imagine people are losing their shit over this.
	In particular, Fox News!
	Fox Business News!
	Finally, the Department of Transportation considering a ban on emotional support animals from flying with their owners after a surge of, well, unconventional animals have made headlines.
	Someone tried to fly with a peacock, you may remember, Maria.
	We've seen pigs, we've seen many horses.
	If these new rules pass, Maria, only professionally trained service dogs would be allowed to fly with their owners.
	I was on a flight a month ago with a great dog.
	My opinion, let him stay, Maria, but I'll send it back to you.
	Of course let them stay.
	This is not good.
	I don't like it.
	Thank you, Cheryl.
	This story is hogwash.
	This story is hogwash.
	It is something that's trumped up by the media.
	We keep showing, and yeah, I'm calling us out for it.
	We keep showing that video of the peacock in the airport.
	That peacock never got on a plane.
	And it's a story that is, this is a story that's being pushed by the airlines because they want to charge you money for bringing your dogs in carrying cases on board.
	And why not?
	Why not?
	Fat people have to buy an extra seat.
	No.
	I have no sympathy for this.
	Round trip on Delta, for example, it is $250 for the dog to stay in a crate.
	It is not that big of a problem.
	You know what's a problem?
	Real Housewives...
	I don't want to hear that.
	I'm stopping the clip.
	But thank you.
	Thank you, U.S. Department of Transportation.
	Finally, it really bothers me.
	I've seen people with an emotional support dog in pre-boarding!
	Adam at Curry.com.
	Yes, for all your emotions.
	Adam at Curry.com.
	He's the one who hates the dogs.
	I don't hate dogs.
	Dogs are people, too.
	I hate people.
	In general.
	All right, I got to get this out of the way now.
	This was the...
	We talked about on the last show, which was this...
	And by the way, if you haven't noticed...
	They didn't bomb Colorado.
	It hadn't blown up and there was no revolution.
	That's the podcast we were harping on.
	I think that's what our donor was talking about.
	Why am I getting credit?
	You did a better job of slamming the guy than I did.
	But you're right.
	How can DC and Colorado are still here?
	I thought that we'd connected the dots.
	Oh, it's next weekend or is it this weekend?
	No, it was this weekend.
	It turned out to be on Monday.
	The base is the base.
	The base.
	The base.
	Another fine made-up name.
	The base, which is a guy in Canada, and I guess they have a couple of guys that live in Georgia that are part of it.
	But let's listen to the base story, and this is this Catherine Herridge who moved from Fox over to CBS. Oh, my God.
	So now she's doing crap.
	She did pretty good stories on Fox.
	Now she's going to do crap on CBS? Pretty much, here's her discussing what happened.
	On Canadian Patrick Matthews' computer, agents found a profanity-laced video he taped, declaring, if you want the white race to survive, derail some effing trains, kill some people, and poison some water supplies.
	Matthews and two associates were arrested last week in an FBI sweep of members of the neo-Nazi group The Base.
	They discussed traveling to Monday's gun rights rally in Richmond to start a full-blown civil war.
	U.S. Attorney Robert Hur said the men were doing more than just talking about violence, having built an assault rifle and purchasing more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
	They packed food and supplies, including a gas mask, intending to load their truck, quote, for the war, end quote, in Virginia.
	Three other alleged members of the base were arrested last week in northwest Georgia at the group's training camp.
	Catherine here at CBS News, Washington.
	So sad.
	So sad, Catherine.
	Now, a couple of things.
	Wasn't al-Qaeda, didn't that mean the base?
	Yes, at the base as in the database.
	Yes, it's totally taken from the Al-Qaeda.
	It's a derivative, and it's clearly some joker who set this up.
	I mean, they arrested some guys at their training base.
	I want to play the media medley I have here that someone put together.
	I don't know where this one came from.
	You do a better job of sourcing these things.
	But this is one of them.
	This was before, of course, we had our podcast that we played.
	The Common Sense podcast had discussed this.
	It was going to be the revolution was going to begin.
	It's happening.
	It's on.
	Dude, Alex Jones was there in an assault vehicle, ready to document all that was going to happen.
	And I told Sir Ducifer, I said, this is a dud, man.
	Why are you wasting your money going there?
	Nothing's going to happen.
	Nothing happened.
	Of course not.
	Nothing ever happens.
	But let's listen to the way it was built up by the media.
	This is a bunch of clips put together in the media medley of what was going to happen.
	This is pre-weekend.
	And everyone was all in, hoping for the best.
	Right now, thousands of gun rights activists, white nationalists, militia groups all swarming the Virginia state capitol.
	There are a lot of people nervous about what's going to happen.
	Authorities in Richmond are on high alert.
	It could be a tense day.
	It's a polarization.
	What may happen in Virginia.
	Several hate groups, supposedly some white nationalists.
	White nationalists.
	White nationalists.
	Nationalist groups.
	White supremacists.
	White extremists.
	This entire rally stands in opposition to the meaning of this day.
	Virginia on the edge.
	How concerned are you that there might be some people in this crowd that may want to get violence?
	There's certainly a lot of concern here.
	Raising fears of a dangerous confrontation.
	It could be violence.
	There is real concern there about what the intention is behind this.
	There's a lot of concern about the potential for violence that sparked violence.
	Tensions high in Virginia may cause I'm clearly trying to avoid another Charlottesville.
	In Charlottesville.
	Could see a repeat of what we saw in 2017 in Charlottesville.
	Similar to what we saw in Charlottesville.
	Worrying about a repeat of Charlottesville.
	Horrible 2017 Charlottesville disaster.
	You look at what happened in Charlottesville.
	The two sides clashed in Charlottesville.
	Men walk through the Capitol in Virginia carrying weapons of war.
	Many demonstrators are in fact heavily armed.
	Heavily, heavily armed.
	Look at the gear.
	What is this all about?
	Militia groups.
	Armed militia.
	These militia groups.
	Far-right militias.
	Militia groups.
	Far-right extremists.
	Extremists.
	Extremists.
	Look, those threats which caused the governor to call for a state of emergency have simply not emerged.
	The police very clear in saying that they have not had a single arrest during this rally.
	Yes, let's top that real quick with Sandy Ocasio-Cortez's take.
	But that organizing challenges many of the operating tenants that the United States was founded on, including racism, but also including the protection of capital over human beings.
	You know, another thing that I've been really thinking and sitting with today is that there's this gun rights protest that's happening down in Richmond.
	On MLK Day.
	On MLK Day.
	Here's the image that has struck with me the most about that.
	That's actually really disgusting with those two there.
	Say, on MLK Day.
	Really?
	Have you ever looked into the history of the guy who apparently killed Martin Luther King Jr.?
	Or was it government agencies?
	But okay, let's just say, it's so disgusting for people to show their support.
	Protest gun rights, she said.
	Oh, you mean like pro-Second Amendment?
	Okay.
	That's happening down in Richmond.
	On MLK Day.
	On MLK Day.
	But here's the image that has struck with me the most about that.
	Is that when we go out and...
	March for the dignity and the recognition of the lives of people like Freddie Gray and Eric Garner.
	The whole place is surrounded by police in riot gear without a gun in sight.
	And here are all of these people flying Confederate flags with semi-automatic weapons.
	And there's almost no police officers at that protest.
	Police was crawling with cops.
	She's full of crap, obviously.
	Of course there were tons of police officers everywhere.
	No, Confederate flags, no cops.
	Everyone's against you on MLK Day.
	That is some of the most racist stuff I've ever heard.
	Really outrageously stupid.
	These people.
	Well, this came up at the dinner table.
	This is actually what got me to leave.
	Okay, here we go.
	Again, this is exactly what the Lib Joe said.
	Who exactly was at the dinner?
	I mean, names, but just friends?
	Well, there was a couple I didn't know, but I knew of, and they're local celebrities, let's put it that way.
	But I got this from the Lib Joe, and this is what bothers me, because it's like, where's the sheet?
	That's producing these talking points.
	And I decided, and I did some work, I decided that it's the New York Times.
	The New York Times is responsible for all the talking points, and I think the New York Times is responsible for what CNN reports, and it was, oh, CNN's a horrible bunch of anti-Trumpers.
	And then MSNBC, oh, MSNBC is just a bunch of, you know, pavement pounders for the Democrats.
	No, they're all getting their cues from the New York Times, and the Washington Post is a secondary cue provider.
	They're the backup.
	They're like the CIA thing where you plant a story, and then one person points the book.
	According to the New York Times and the Washington Post, and vice versa.
	Yes, and so they're doing this, but it's mostly the New York Times.
	And that's when they said they had this recent editorial about Trump not being impeachable or something.
	I'm very baffled by that, but...
	So I'll just give you the quote.
	The reason we have the bad situation we have with the medicines, the high price of drugs, and the high cost of health care is white supremacy.
	You didn't storm out then.
	Surely you asked for an explanation before you left.
	No, no, I stormed out.
	Ah!
	It was like, wait a minute.
	But I said, I heard the same thing from the Lib Joe.
	He said, oh, it's white supremacy.
	He starts blaming white supremacists.
	And I'm looking at him.
	He's white.
	By the way, everyone at the table, when this white supremacy thing came up and everyone's nodding, oh yeah, white supremacy.
	They're all nodding.
	They're all white.
	So what is this?
	What is this?
	It's like self-loathing Jews.
	It's like, what is this white supremacy thing?
	And so I did make one question.
	I said, so you're telling me that the pharmacies and the high price of drugs and everything is because of white supremacy?
	Yes, the white supremacists want to suppress the blacks.
	They want to make it so the blacks can't get medical help.
	And so I'm thinking, I'm the one paying these ridiculous prices.
	Yeah, you damn white supremacist.
	How is this benefiting me to screw over some black guy so he can't get medical care?
	Well, you're not in the club.
	You've got to join the white supremacist.
	That's where you get your check, apparently.
	Wow.
	So I heard that again on this little medley, white supremacist, white supremacist.
	Now, five years ago, I never heard this term.
	No.
	No, it started...
	Where did these guys all of a sudden get all their power?
	Trump?
	Yes.
	Trump's the enabler.
	It started with Charlotte.
	It started with Charlotte.
	Charlottesville.
	Charlottesville, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Now, they pinned that on him, unfairly.
	You know, find people on both sides, and boom, that was enough.
	Sadly...
	Yeah, it worked.
	You know, I think you're going to have to kill some people there.
	You've got to stop it.
	You can't have them procreating.
	They're going to have to kill themselves.
	It's pretty obvious.
	I'm going to show my salute by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Now, with every white sheet for the KKK, free healthcare!
	So you have, now we have people that are mentally stable contributing to the show, and we want to thank you, Genetic, every one of them.
	Yes.
	Baronet Sorkanov, Pencil Tucky.
	$129.58, and he's got a birthday for himself.
	He sent a card in, too.
	And it's probably one of the best cards I've gotten.
	Oh, nice.
	It says, I spent money on this card, and it's got a grumpy old man on the front.
	And then he says, and that makes me a better friend than all those lazy hipsters on Facebook.
	Happy birthday to himself!
	Mm-hmm.
	A baronet sir can have a birthday donation for me.
	I admired that.
	But the card is a keeper.
	Anyway, he's got a birthday.
	He's on the list.
	William Duncan.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Or Durkin.
	Yeah, it's Durkin.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	He's got a birthday, too.
	Andrew Austin in Westminster, Colorado.
	It should be in Austin.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Hmm.
	Ian Field, $100.
	Sir Herb Lamb, the Earl of Georgia, he's in Georgia, 8008.
	Ronald Shull, 8008.
	He actually, this actually, did this come in again?
	I think this is actually his pop money donation from last show.
	Maybe not.
	Anna Mercuriev in St.
	Louis, Missouri, 6666.
	Sir Sam, 6009.
	That's a lopsided small boobs.
	Brandon Lovejoy in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
	I'm sorry, 5833.
	There's another 50.
	And he wants some Jobs Karma coming up at the end.
	And Anna, by the way, said thanks for the sanity.
	So we always love hearing that.
	Thanks for the sanity.
	Sir Phenom in Atlanta.
	Appleton, Wisconsin, 58-33.
	What did the 58-33 week first do?
	I can't remember.
	Now here's one.
	Jaraj Kojic.
	Jaraj Kojic, I'm thinking.
	Yeah, Jaraj Kojak, I think, yeah.
	We've heard him before.
	Sir Lucas of the Lost Bits in Tacoma, 55-10, double nickels on the dime.
	He's got a Chinese New Year note there.
	Read it and see if there's anything in there.
	Meredith Madden in Manassas, Virginia.
	Now, this does need to be discussed.
	Maybe not discussed, but I'm confused too.
	Meredith says, I would very much like to take part in Sir Animas' Dame Drive, but like you, handsome show host, I was confused.
	I was listening to episode 1200 in my office and went to make a donation, but then it seemed that the Dame Drive would only start in 2020.
	I started my monthly donation at that time.
	Instead, please add me, a millennial woman, to the Dame Drive now!
	I just want millennial women.
	She's in the Dame Drive.
	You're in the Dame Drive.
	Thank you, Meredith.
	Sir Fulmer...
	Brahman in Harrison, New Jersey, 55-10.
	Stas Gomberg, 55-10.
	Aaron Lambert in Tumwater, Washington, 54-33.
	Jonathan Evans, 54-32.
	Sir Herb Lamb of Georgia.
	And this is, yes, second donation for this show, third for the month.
	I'm making this donation as part of the Dame Drive on behalf of Alyssa Carnus.
	She's been instrumental in organizing the local 404 meetups and is relocating to Gitmo Euroland and AP. AP? AP? I had planned to make this donation at the Atlanta meetup, but will not be able to make it.
	Good luck and safe travels, Alyssa.
	Best Sir Herb Lamb, Earl of Georgia.
	Thank you.
	The Dame Drive is on.
	What's AP? I don't know.
	AP? I have no idea.
	Associated Press.
	I don't know.
	Eric Hilbert in Noblesville, Indiana.
	50-40.
	Forrest Martin in $50.05.
	And now the following people are $50 donors, name and location, starting with Ryan Curry, or Curly, $50.
	Robert Case in Mill Spring, North Carolina.
	Thomas Tollett in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
	Alexa Delgado in Aptos, California, down the road from me.
	Kathleen Stokes.
	Daniel Laboy, who I believe is Sir Daniel in Bath, Michigan.
	Sir Patrick Macomb in New York City.
	Bingo, done.
	We're done, and that's our group.
	Short but good.
	Kathleen Stokes said, I haven't donated in a while, but the insanity of the M5N combined with John's commitment to get the newsletter out has reminded me how much I value the No Agenda show.
	Thank you both.
	And Eric Hilbert, he's on the list, says, Happy birthday, 40th birthday to Sir Achilles from your twin brother.
	I just want to thank him for hitting me in the mouth over and over again, the same way I hit him in the head with rocks while he was climbing trees in our youth.
	His mouth smacks finally hit home for me in August of 2016.
	I still have a PhD and he doesn't.
	Happy birthday.
	Happy birthday.
	Nothing like brotherly love here on the No Agenda Show.
	And thank you all for being producers of episode 1210 of your best podcast in the universe.
	Thank everybody profusely, everybody who sent in clips, ideas, boots on the ground.
	We've got tons of stuff always incoming.
	And the finances, well, those who could do it, do.
	and everybody really could.
	We have a lot of people under 50 who are in some of the monthly programs.
	So we appreciate anything that you could do.
	But these people who we've named, we are thankful to.
	And it's part of our Value for Value Network.
	And you can always support us for our next show by going to Dvorak.org Slash N A Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, and Jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got Karma Now, before I continue, we have a karma request from Nikki.
	I actually should have done this.
	I'm a monthly subscriber.
	$30 typically would not hear from Nikki because we cut off at $50 for mentioning on the show.
	But I'm about to lose my job.
	I am kindly requesting jobs, Karma, if not too much to ask.
	Thank you and appreciate you both for the sanity you provide.
	Okay, we'll do it again.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You stop.
	Karma.

	Congratulations and thank you for supporting the No Agenda Show in the amount of another $1,000.
	On top of what you've already done twice, we are very, very grateful.
	No Agenda!
	That's right.
	No Agenda!
	Meetups happening all over the world.
	No agenda producers getting together, talking, hanging out, no triggering.
	It just doesn't happen.
	Having a good time.
	And here's a quick report from the most recent No Agenda Local 512 meetup.
	A small but dedicated group had a great meetup at Docks on a cold and raining January evening in FEMA Region 6.
	The Viscount of the Skies, Sir Tyler, came out for his first meetup since the Monster Austin meetup last year.
	Talk of a flying outing in the Mooney was discussed and planned.
	I still want to go flying with him.
	He's got a...
	Mooney is a fantastic aircraft.
	It's also known as the Widowmaker.
	So enjoy the flying outing.
	The discussion was lively with no triggering as we had our monthly dose of fellowship.
	Even with only six of us, we were able to monster $204 for the NA Local 512's first associate producer title.
	One of our group actually made his very first donation.
	So please hit J with a well-deserved deduction.
	You bet.
	D-douched.
	And this is from Scott Morgan, Sir Scott Baronet, Knight of the No Agenda Armory, and we thank you very much, all of you, for being there.
	I hope to see you very soon.

	It's what it's all about.
	And thank you all for supporting our Value for Value network.
	Well, I have a few things to talk about.
	Well, let's talk about the coronavirus.
	Okay, I have a clip.
	Okay.
	It's called coronavirus, I guess.
	...a new virus that has killed nine people and infected hundreds more in China has now spread to the U.S. A man in his 30s from Washington State is the first person in America to be diagnosed with coronavirus, it's called.
	The man returned to the Seattle area last week from a trip to Wuhan.
	That's the city in central China where the outbreak began.
	Right now that patient is in isolation in a hospital north of Seattle.
	Our number one priority is to complete the identification of all the patients' contacts, reach out to the contacts, and monitor their health.
	Enhanced screening is already in place at three U.S. airports, with two more being added this week.
	Our Dr.
	Tara Narula is here at the table with more on this story.
	You hear about it, you see the mask, it's very disturbing.
	How worried should we be?
	What is it exactly?
	So this is a form of coronavirus.
	We've known about coronaviruses before.
	This is a new strain.
	This is a virus that's found worldwide.
	It causes typically a mild or moderate respiratory illness, but it can be more severe.
	We saw that with SARS and MERS, which are also forms of coronavirus.
	So certainly the CDC is recommending that we be cautious about this, that we be proactive, Because it is a new strain.
	It is contagious.
	So interestingly, they think it does circulate in animals and occasionally can make the jump from animals to humans, which is what they think happened in this case, because the initial cases were surrounding an area, a market, a seafood animal market in the Wuhan area.
	And so they think that it started in animals, it was transmitted to humans, and now they're saying that, in fact, it is spread between human to humans.
	Yes, every report is kind of similar.
	We've seen this.
	The fear-mongering hasn't quite reached any peak yet.
	I feel it will start to build because it's a great thing you can cut away from the impeachment to have a breaking news alert.
	Oh my God, hazmat suits.
	Very, very scary.
	I did get a boots-on-the-ground report from Wuhan.
	As we have people there, let me just grab it here.
	Where's my boots on the ground report?
	Darn it.
	Are you looking for that?
	I should mention something that's left out of the reports.
	I don't know, maybe something you could play with, which is that coronavirus is really a virus that affects animals, namely dogs.
	And they kind of go out of their way.
	A lot of these dog kennels will have a break out of a certain corona.
	It kills all the dogs.
	And it sometimes jumps from the dogs, from dogs to people.
	Yes.
	And now it seems to be jumping from people to people.
	I have my report.
	Well, once it gets to people, it can go from people to people.
	It's going to.
	It's going to.
	I'm not...
	If you recall, I contracted SARS. You remember that?
	In San Francisco.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	I don't remember it, so you can't say yes.
	How can you not remember it?
	I was sick for like five days, and I even did the show.
	Yeah, but when you do the show, you're going to be sick as a dog, and who would know?
	Yeah.
	It's true.
	I survived it.
	You know, the thing is, people who are a little bit weaker, when you get respiratory illness, you can get lung pneumonia, and that's what kills people.
	This is from producer...
	As it happens, I am currently in Wuhan, China.
	I even had to go to the hospital in the beginning of January, just as reports of the virus started.
	That was quite the experience.
	My wife thought it was much nicer than in Ukraine, though.
	I cracked some ribs.
	This is our producer.
	I cracked some ribs ziplining in Thailand over the holidays.
	Had to get it checked because it was hurting more than it should.
	No damage, but the hospital has everyone stacked together waiting for CT scans.
	We had to walk through an emergency ward and wait with the very sick standing all together, kind of like in a subway.
	The conditions are ripe for mass spread of any disease.
	And the habits here do not help.
	It is commonplace in China to cough without covering your mouth.
	They will walk down the street, they being Chinas, they will walk down the street in the grocery store, subway, anywhere, and just cough on everything.
	They cough so much and so hard, it's common to have phlegm come up.
	This, of course, is just spat out right then and there, on the floor, on the street, or even beside the table at the restaurant.
	In restaurants, bones or undesirable things are just spat out right there on the table.
	Not in a napkin or on a dish, on the table.
	I really don't think the washcloth they use to clean the table has any bleach or anything other than disease from all the tables.
	Wuhan has about 11 million people.
	It's on the confluence of the Yangtze and the Han Rivers.
	They call it the Chicago of China, but I consider it to be closer to Detroit.
	This city has the largest French investment in China, with Renault being a huge influence.
	Auto manufacturing, steel, and other heavy industry is very prevalent here.
	It's about to have the world's largest memory fab.
	Semiconductor industry becoming a big player here.
	Although it is half the size of Shanghai, it has a larger area of about a thousand square miles.
	I can tell you, since I live in both cities, Wuhan is huge.
	My clients are scanning for fever as you enter.
	If you're okay, you get a daily color-coded health smiley sticker.
	My main client had an employee come down with the virus.
	We were advised not to come on site due to the health and safety concerns.
	My company is now shipping the local employee surgical masks because you can't get any here.
	The Lunar New Year holiday, which is coming up, is akin to our Christmas and New Year break.
	Most people will travel back to their hometown to spend it with their parents and relatives.
	Many Chinese have moved all over the country to have better jobs.
	They estimate one billion trips will be made over this holiday season.
	I'm adding to it as well as I'm going back to Shanghai on the first Thursday of the week and then off to Japan for some skiing after the zip lining in Thailand.
	What else?
	And I got a follow-up email from him.
	He just got out before they closed the entire city down.
	And regarding that, an article from Nature magazine from 2017, February 2017, this is the article I'm reading from it, inside the Chinese lab poised to study world's most dangerous pathogens.
	And guess what they study there?
	I don't have to tell you, do I? Coronavirus.
	So all this, it was the market, and maybe it was, but it seems like something may have gotten out.
	One of the workers may have been contaminated.
	I am not too worried all of these things.
	Yeah, people die.
	Yes, I'm sure we'll have hundreds of people die.
	People die from flu.
	People die from all kinds of diseases.
	30,000 flu deaths a year, usually.
	Yeah, and it's not from the flu, it's from pneumonia.
	However, pay attention to the M5M. This report, I think, is important because in the context of the U.S.-China relations, their stock market value, this is...
	Rather significant.
	A new viral outbreak from China is spreading around the world.
	Countries like the US, Japan and Thailand have confirmed cases.
	And on Wednesday a Chinese health official has said the virus is adapting and mutating.
	So what exactly do we know about this flu-like virus?
	Health officials now say it can be passed from person to person.
	So far, hundreds of cases have been confirmed and several people have died.
	Symptoms include fever, coughing and difficulty breathing and can lead to pneumonia.
	The exact origin is unknown, though Chinese officials have linked the outbreak to a seafood market in the city of Wuhan.
	All of the deaths so far have been in that central Chinese city.
	It's also home to a Foxconn plant, which is a key supplier to Apple.
	And it's hosting Olympic qualifiers for women's soccer next month.
	Things to look out for next will be what happens over Chinese New Year and whether fear takes its toll on the global economy.
	Millions of people are preparing to travel around China and abroad for the New Year celebrations, raising the risk of a wider contagion.
	The sphere of a pandemic has also sent chills through the markets.
	Investors are comparing it to China's 2003 SARS outbreak that killed nearly 800 people and, by some estimates, caused $40 billion in global economic losses.
	Aviation and luxury goods stocks have already been hit particularly hard, with concerns it could deter Chinese consumers from traveling or shopping.
	So that, you know, already the Chinese on their social media are saying, ah, this is clearly the Americans.
	They planted a virus to bring us down.
	I'd love that you're just as conspiratorial as we are.
	My favorite, though, is...
	The patent for coronavirus, which is patent number 10-130-701, issued November 20, 2018, for a firm that researches this in the United Kingdom, California.
	I really don't think that this is some biological weapon that the government has released.
	All I would say is, you know, make sure if you get the virus, you get the patented one.
	You don't want a knockoff from China.
	You want the actual coronavirus so you can be cool with everybody else.
	And look for the hazmat suits everywhere.
	It's going to be great.
	It's not going to be a big deal, except on the M5M, a great breakaway story for the impeachment because, you know, it'll get us all excited about something.
	Gotta do something.
	Yeah.
	So I'm...
	So that's...
	I don't think there's much to be worried about at all.
	Yes, it's your face.
	Wars, wars on the day.
	Being a cigarette.
	Yes.
	You're so cute.
	The Vape Wars is Been following this for probably a year now.
	We went through another story that came and went.
	Remember, we were all going to die from vaping.
	Turned out about, I think, 15, 20 people died because they had some bad THC cartridges.
	This, however, was used immediately by the tobacco industry to kill off even more of the vaping industry.
	Got the president involved, got the first lady involved.
	For this total hoax, trying to make it look like the THC deaths were related to vaping, just vaping liquids or vaping nicotine, which it wasn't.
	I think we deconstructed that.
	And of course, it is also intended to bring in the IQOS, the I-Q-O-S, smokeless tobacco product.
	But interestingly, the CDC is now stepping back from their broad recommendation to refrain from, as the Wall Street Journal headlines, e-cigarettes.
	The agency removed from its website guidance that people should stop vaping if they were concerned about the illness.
	And this comes from a conversation that was overheard, as reported by Rolling Stone magazine, During an Oval Office call on speakerphone, the President expressed regret for getting personally involved in the issue.
	Quote, I should have never done that fucking vaping thing.
	Thank you, President.
	At least you turned it around.
	And he actually gave, according to Axios, gave a lot of crap to Ansaris, his Health and Human Services Secretary, who I think was in on it.
	I think was in on this whole deal to screw vapors and to help the tobacco industry.
	And I'm actually personally affected by this, and I'm happy the president is turning all this bullcrap back.
	And pretty quickly, too.
	Only a year of this.
	Although the damage may be extremely permanent.
	Another way that mainstream media can distract us from the impeachment...
	And let's get the update on this because this is getting pretty good and I think this is going to end up not the way people hope.
	This is the Weinstein update on CBS. Today was a milestone moment for the Me Too movement as the first witness took the stand in the New York trial of Harvey Weinstein.
	In a surprise move, Weinstein's lawyers revealed they would use the accuser's own words against them.
	Jerika Duncan was in the courtroom.
	Disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein, recovering from a recent back surgery, stumbled as he entered the courthouse today.
	Do you feel like you're having a fair trial, Harvey?
	At the heart of this case, two allegations that Weinstein raped an aspiring actress in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and an allegation he sexually assaulted a different woman in his Manhattan apartment in 2006.
	Prosecutor Megan Haas didn't mince words telling seven male and five female jurors he, referring to Weinstein, was not just a titan in Hollywood, he was a rapist.
	Defense attorney Damon Sharonis countered with his own plan of attack, citing the hundreds of emails, texts and notes sent from the alleged rape victim that he says demonstrates a loving relationship.
	Phone notes that describe Weinstein as a casual boyfriend and emails to Weinstein, one that read, I love you, I always do, but I hate feeling like a booty call.
	It's signed with a smiley face.
	Annabella Sciorra is expected to testify tomorrow.
	Now, the Sopranos actress alleges Weinstein raped her in the 90s and she did not report it to authorities.
	Overall, this trial is scheduled to last at least another four weeks.
	Nora?
	It'll be fun to break...
	He's getting off.
	He's what?
	He's getting off?
	Oh, he's totally getting off.
	But let me mention something.
	If anyone gets a shot at this, if you get over-the-air television, you'll find a sub-channel called Court TV, and it's the old original Court TV from Fox that took off the air that had that horrible woman.
	They got rid of her and put a really crack group of people together, all lawyers, a couple of Very attractive women, and they go over these cases with a fine-tooth comb with a lot of experts, and it's fascinating.
	It's absolutely fascinating.
	The Court TV, and if you start watching Court TV, you're going to be stunned by it.
	It's so good.
	But they have discussed this case.
	And one of the things they brought up is Gwyneth Paltrow's, I guess she made a deposition.
	And this is just going to be used against the whole thing.
	The deposition essentially went like this.
	Gwyneth says that, yeah, Harvey invited me up to his bedroom.
	And I went up to the hotel room.
	And he came out with a robe.
	And he said, would you like to give me a massage?
	And Gwyneth then said, no, I wouldn't.
	I'm not interested.
	Goodbye.
	I'm out of here.
	And she just left.
	Yeah.
	Now that is going to be used to get what all she did was she just said, no, this is going to be used against everybody.
	I mean, this is like a perfect, you know, this.
	Why didn't you do that?
	Yeah, this is this guy's getting off.
	I think so, too.
	There was some interesting extra court documents.
	I don't know which woman it was who testified, but maybe it was the first one, and she'd had an ongoing relationship.
	And by the way, rape happens in relationships, and it's still illegal.
	You can't just rape someone.
	But the salient detail was that she went into the bathroom and found a syringe with an erection drug.
	I did not know this existed.
	You shoot it into your pecker and then, oh my god.
	Yeah, I know somebody that actually used that product once.
	What's it called?
	I can't remember, but it's not like, there's not much to it.
	It's really a little, it's like a pinprick thing.
	And you end up with this erection that just doesn't go away.
	And you end up chasing everybody around the apartment for hours.
	And this is one of your friends who was at the lunch?
	No.
	No, because this guy wasn't a white supremacist, so it was different.
	Okay, gotcha.
	Yeah, that's been discussed, that product.
	I can't remember the name of it, but yeah.
	That's crazy.
	Well, anyway, so this guy's getting...
	It's now for sale at the InfoWars shop, though, I think.
	Oh, I'm sure it probably is.
	InfoWars.
	They have the best version.
	Yes, they do.
	The other story that I think is going to get someplace...
	I personally think it's a great story because it brings up a lot of OTG issues.
	Ooh, love it.
	Well, this is the Bezos-Saudi hack story, and I have the CBS version.
	Bezos' phone was hacked, possibly by the Saudi crown prince.
	Jeff Pegues on a motive and what's in a new forensic investigation commissioned by Bezos.
	Hold on a second, I want to get ready for Jeff Pegues' report!
	According to the report...
	Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had exchanged messages on WhatsApp before.
	But the message sent in May of 2018 set in motion a wild chain of events.
	The UN says an MP4 video file sent from a WhatsApp account.
	Used by the Crown Prince infected Bezos' phone and caused a massive and unprecedented exfiltration of data.
	The flow of information out of the Washington Post owner's phone jumped by 29,000 percent, and he would soon get messages from the account signaling that he was being spied on.
	The Saudis were unhappy with the Washington Post coverage of the kingdom and their columnist Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the regime.
	Five months after Bezos' phone was hacked, Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, for which the Saudis ultimately took responsibility on 60 Minutes.
	Did you order the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?
	Absolutely not.
	This was a heinous crime.
	But I take full responsibility as a leader in Saudi Arabia, especially since it was committed by individuals working for the Saudi government.
	One month after the killing, another message from the account of bin Salman included a photo of a woman resembling Lauren Sanchez, whom Bezos was secretly having an affair with.
	Soon after, the National Enquirer broke the story of Bezos' affair, and Bezos blamed the Saudis.
	Today, the Saudi foreign minister denied his government's involvement in hacking Bezos' phone.
	I think absurd is exactly the right word.
	The idea that the current prince would hack Jeff Bezos' phone is absolutely silly.
	And Jeff joins us here.
	What do we know about how someone would gain access to Bezos' phone?
	So this was spyware, and we're told that Bezos didn't even have to click on it for it to sweep up his information.
	It can get your passwords, text messages, even have access to your phone.
	And so now the U.N. is calling for the U.S. to investigate.
	The FBI, though, is not commenting.
	Yeah, I see this as an orange man bad story, I think.
	I don't.
	I see the story as a BS story to start with.
	I mean, there's so many screwball questions that need to be asked, which is including the...
	First of all, let's start with these phones and the permissions you give for almost any app.
	All the permissions you give for almost any app include all your data.
	It includes all your phone lists.
	It basically lets you...
	They say we can hack your phone.
	So any app that you have on your phone can do what was done to Jeff Bezos' phone.
	You have to agree with that.
	I mean, you've seen these lists of what we're giving permission to when you put any old app on.
	Now, we don't know if it was Android or iPhone.
	We don't know this.
	Well, we know it was probably Andre since Bezos has the Fire phone and something.
	They have a lot of licenses.
	I don't know what phone it was.
	It would be nice to know.
	But just to step back for a second, why is nobody looking at Facebook?
	Why wouldn't this easily be Facebook spying on Bezos?
	They own WhatsApp.
	It could easily be Facebook, but this also brings up a lot of other questions.
	This took place five months before the killing.
	Why would Khashoggi and Bezos be exchanging notes and pictures on WhatsApp in the first place?
	Does this make any sense?
	As you've seen in the impeachment trial, a lot of shady characters use WhatsApp.
	Or as one of the lawyers said, WhatsApp or not WhatsApp.
	Why is Bezos and the Saudi prince, this guy, The murderer.
	When did they become buddies?
	Well, the story goes that they met at some function and exchanged phone numbers, and then the Saudi prince or his account sent a piece of malware, maybe disguised as a video.
	It was probably some kind of executable, if it happened that way.
	I don't know.
	Well, that brings up another question.
	According to Pegues, he says at the end, you don't even have to execute the program.
	Okay.
	How does that work?
	Nah.
	It ain't gonna work.
	That's bullcrap.
	That's what I said.
	I think it's an orange man bad story.
	Because Saudi Arabia and Trump, that's the problem.
	Saudi Arabia.
	Don't you remember Khashoggi was almost literally killed by Trump?
	Yeah, it's a stretch, but you could be right.
	And Trump has got a beef with Bezos.
	Okay, this brings a couple of other points I want to get out of the way.
	How much nude photos...
	And crazy stuff does Bezos keep on his phone?
	And why would anybody keep that kind of stuff on their phone?
	That seems kind of risky.
	Are you confusing a rich person with someone who's smart?
	Those two don't necessarily go together.
	He's an idiot.
	And then they threw out an extra little ditty, which unfortunately this is the one opportunity where it'd be nice to have video for this show, even though it's normally negative.
	Piguet says that this prince sent a picture of a woman that looked a lot like Lauren Sanchez, which is the woman that Basil was having the affair with.
	He used the word resembling.
	And on the video, they showed the picture.
	This woman looked nothing like Laura Sanchez at all, unless maybe when she was 14 or And I'm wondering, they just throw this picture of this woman up.
	They don't throw a lot of pictures of the naked Bezos or anything like that up, but somehow they got a hold of this one picture and they posted it on the...
	I'm going to tell you.
	Here's the story I feel the M5M will cook up.
	If this thing is even real or not, it doesn't matter.
	This was all meant as an attack on Bezos, Washington Post, by Trump, through his proxy, MBS... All of this smells of Orange Man bad.
	It hasn't surfaced yet, but I'm just waiting for it to show up.
	Well, the whole story stinks.
	Well, it's shitty reporting, for sure.
	And Pegues is one of my favorite reporters, because he...
	Well, besides that, he does a thorough job, but when he drops the ball with you didn't even have to execute a program to make this thing take over your phone, that's nonsense.
	I mean, there are types of worms and things that can do this sort of thing, but that doesn't require anything pretty much.
	It just kind of gets through the network.
	program specifically and then specifically say that that program which caused the problem never had to be executed that is very sketchy and it seems to me that pagues would have at least explained this a little bit i think he was just given this story here read this you know and he didn't do any reporting at all you need to ask the tech guy Thank you.
	Well, there's a guy, the tech guy.
	Anyway, I just found that story to be dubious.
	Well, since you brought in OTG, no jingles, I just wanted to bring up one story, a recent trend, which is, again, baffling to me.
	The which character are you trend.
	Now, you haven't seen this, although you do stalk people on Instagram from time to time.
	A new filter has been created.
	Now, it says it's been created by just a user of Instagram, but I'm going to place questions around that.
	It is the what character are you, and if you go on Instagram, you will see thousands of people, just their face, staring into the camera, and above them is a little box that goes, and it'll show you which Disney, it's totally random, it'll show you which Disney character you are, or, you know, all these different variations.
	Meanwhile, people are giving a beautifully accurate, close up, Picture of themselves to Instagram!
	And no one seems to understand what they're doing.
	It's really baffling.
	First of all, that anyone would care about that.
	Some random generator that says, oh, you look like a Daffy Duck.
	Okay.
	But they stare in the camera for 10 seconds while this thing is going above their head.
	That's for face recognition.
	Of course it's for face recognition.
	People.
	It's very, very disturbing.
	Get off this stuff, please.
	I read a lot of comments about people kind of realizing that this is going on, but they can't resist doing it anyway.
	Yeah, it's very...
	It's addiction.
	It's a definite addiction.
	Okay.
	I was, of course, wrong about the Titans.
	I would like to give you the winner of the Super Bowl.
	I'm going to call the winner now, and I would like to tell you why.
	Okay, this is a backup for people who weren't listening to the show.
	There was the playoff games, and Adam thought the Titans were going to win everything, and they lost right away.
	So he's now, after that beautiful prediction, going to tell us who's going to win the Super Bowl.
	But now we're going to base it on some of our more political...
	Background information.
	And I thank the other Adam for helping me out with this.
	Producer Adam.
	The Chiefs.
	Calling the Chiefs.
	And here's why.
	Awareness to racist team names.
	We'll have the Tomahawk, the Tonto chants, all that stuff.
	Kansas City crowd is going to be painted as derogatory and racist, and therefore, finally, we will see teams changing their names from the Redskins, the Chiefs, the Indians.
	It'll bring up the conversation.
	It's best to have the Kansas City Chiefs win so we can once and for all get rid of all these racist sports team names.
	Okay, well I will take the other team then, with a rationale.
	It'll be the San Francisco 49ers because of the poop and the homelessness.
	What, they need a boost?
	So you know what happens when they win is they go wreck the city.
	Is that the idea?
	The only way to get the poop cleaned up.
	Now...
	And that you will still have the same effect.
	You say, well, the Chiefs lost because of the bad karma for using an Indian as a mascot.
	Twofer.
	Okay, I like that.
	I'm still going to stick with the Chiefs, but I do like your thinking.
	Because they can't lose with that.
	They can always go for that.
	I'm going with the poop and the Niners.
	So you're going with poop, I'm going with racism.
	Perfect.
	Okay.
	And that...
	Well, before you finish, I do have a clip I wanted to get out of the way because it expires.
	Oh, okay.
	This clip expires.
	It's for people who want to buy stuff in an auction.
	This is the Sinatra Auctions coming up in New Jersey.
	People should go.
	And buy stuff and maybe send some of it to the no agenda folks, myself and Adam included.
	If you've ever imagined yourself living the lavish life of a super celebrity like, say, Frank Sinatra, a little piece of that dream could soon become a reality.
	You actually have a chance as the public to own something that Frank Sinatra sat on or slept on.
	S&S auction.
	But enough about...
	Enough about Mia Farrow.
	Sweesboro, New Jersey, recently purchased the contents of Frank Sinatra's Executive Suite at the former Golden Nugget Casino in Atlantic City.
	And this Sunday, it's all up for sale.
	It's an English canopy bar.
	It's solid mahogany.
	Some of the items were surely used by Sinatra to entertain his famous friends.
	Others, like these marble commodes with golden seats, are flush with Hollywood opulence.
	These commodes would probably have cost somewhere around $20,000 to $30,000 when they were new.
	At casino mogul Steve Wynn's direction, items from around the world furnish Sinatra's enormous 1980s suite.
	Some items can be had for as few as $100 or less.
	Others, like this Ferdinand Bertoad clock, could fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.
	The clock is ornamented in bronze with an ebony case.
	Personally, I'm a huge fan of Frank Sinatra.
	Dominic Amiradio, along with his father and grandfather, are three generations in the high-end auction business.
	This is one of their favorite collections.
	The pieces that we acquired are very awesome.
	Check it out yourself at a preview Friday before the auction on Sunday.
	In Swedesboro, New Jersey, Cleve Bryan, CBS 3 Eyewitness News.
	Yes, I'm glad that you want more stuff.
	Look at that bar they had in there.
	I have to, you know, when I guess really knew how to treat his headliners right, build a whole suite for them.
	All right, everybody, that is our deconstruction for today.
	And in honor of the incredibly long, boring television show known as The Impeachment, we have only one end-of-show mix.
	It's long.
	It's in honor of The Impeachment.
	But it is Sir Chris Wilson who has taken The Impeachment pie the day The Impeachment was signed to a new level.
	So it will be the only end-of-show song, but it is an absolute piece of art.
	You will love the lyrics.
	Let's see.
	Coming up on NoAgendaStream.com right after we're done, Hog Story.
	It'll be the Suckabag episode.
	Be on the lookout for that.
	And we, of course, will return on the second Thursday of the week, which some call a Sunday, where we will deconstruct the most latest news.
	Whatever's going on, we watch so you don't have to.
	And I am coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas.
	It is FEMA Region No.
	6 on the governmental maps.
	If you're looking for us in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm staying out in Chinatown, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Be good to each other.
	Until next time, adios mofos!
	And such.
	On December 18th, the House of Representatives impeached the President of the United States.
	An impeachment that will last forever.
	So apparently what she wants is some nursery rhyme or some little jig that will talk about Nancy Pelosi, the great Nancy who impeached the President on December 18th, that school children will recite in the future.
	This moment will be remembered.
	And it will be remembered for something she did.
	And I think it will go down in history.
	And someone has to make a jig about this or some kind of song.
	I'm looking at you, Chris Wilson.
	Oh, shit.
	Okay, let's do this.
	A long, long time ago I knew back then that articles of impeachment would be filed And I knew if I had the chance In between his incoherent rants Maybe in a long shot he'd resign Welcome
	to my show!
	I can't remember if I cried When the Ukraine call leaked from inside I handed out those pens with pride The day the impeachment was signed Bye-bye to the orange bag guy Took my letter to the Senate cause the president lied And
	them good old boys from Ukraine were bribed Singing, this is the impeachment I signed This is the impeachment I signed Did you write the book of hate?
	And will you make America great?
	And what will CNN now quote?
	Now do you believe that he stole the election based on exit polls and Clinton that she had the popular vote?
	We're in love with him and our future's looking pretty grim.
	We won't take the abuse of pushing the fake news.
	So we rallied on to obstruct all the MAGA hats in their pickup trucks.
	I knew I would resist we much the day the impeachment was signed.
	Bye-bye to the orange bagger.
	Took my letter to the Senate.
	Mr.
	President lives.
	Them good old boys from Ukraine, what right?
	Singing, this is the impeachment I signed.
	This is the impeachment I signed.
	More than two years in the Mueller zone.
	Jail Maniford and Rochester.
	Michael Flynn and Papa G. An impeachment filing from Al Green to Congress back in 17.
	Set the tone for how it's gonna be.
	The decision Mueller handed down, drove Putin's henchmen out of town.
	Inquiry adjourned, but no verdict was written.
	And his Rand Paul read from Atlas shrugged.
	The runes across Trump Tower were bucked.
	And FISA court weren't scrubbed.
	The day the impeachment was signed.
	And they were singing bye-bye to the orange bag.
	I took my letter to the Senate because the president lied.
	And then good old boys from Ukraine were bribed.
	Singing this is the impeachment I signed.
	This is the impeachment I signed.
	Abernady with his stormy cheetah.
	An island hopping into a liter.
	The black book man was locked inside.
	Thank you.
	And did Epstein really kill himself?
	They blamed it on his mental health.
	Convenient for many that he died.
	And World War III they tried to plan By drowning some guy from Iran Distraction of the week Future's looking pretty bleak But the impeachment it was here to sign Approved by all for Christmas time Wait for month-long pens to arrive The day the impeachment was signed
	And we're all singing bye-bye To the orange bag I took my land to the Senate Cause the president lied And them good old boys From the Ukraine were bribed Singing this is the impeachment I signed This is the impeachment I signed.
	Oh, and there we were for all to see.

	Gathered with our masks and flags.
	The women, hipsters and guys in drag.
	To defeat this orange Hitler clown.
	Oh, and as we watched him on the stage.
	Our hands were clenched in fists of rage.
	Deplorables in his spell.
	We're gonna give them hell.
	And as the flames climbed high into the night.
	Antifu came to pick a fight.
	Attack the fascists and alt-right.
	The day the impeachment was signed.
	And we're all singing bye-bye to the orange bad guy.
