Commie Comey

00:00 It's as phony as it comes. Bangin' home base and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in downtown Austin, Tejas. In the Cluedio! In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where i am fresh back from a great meet up in Oakland I'm John C. DeVore Actor It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Fresh Back! Fresh Fresh Fresh Back! You mean yesterday? Guess what? What?!

00:37 Just as we're just as we're finished finishing the opening here it comes Yes, I got nine car train with no attachments. I don't know why we're doing this but we're doing it I'm quite sure why we're trying to beat this effort to the punch This is a best podcast in universe your no agenda show would you do the show twice week on Thursday's and today? Is the Thursday Sunday and for some reason we try to beat the The Zephyr. We try to beat the Zephyr and every day is a Thursday apparently, at least since last week It's working for me! I honestly sometimes really don't know what day of the week it is...I get confused Well this is kind of a screwball thing because you don't have the same-it's very unro-you know? It's not rotational so it's like your two days and then when you got three days off into two days And then yeah Yeah I also have a little bit of an aversion against the date because I live by these dates

01:33 All the show notes, every folder with clips. Every show notes... The mp3 itself is all in the format of na-episode number-year-month-day and I literally see my life passing before my eyes when i do this show! And the older I get, the more annoying it becomes! The older I get, it's like every time, no, September? What we're almost in October. What? And then I went to visit Christina before before I left and you know 28 man she's hanging out with her friends like what am i even doing here? What are you gonna do a hangout with a bunch of twenty-eight year olds is that what your angling for yeah I did I would think was fun that was hanging out with the 28 I learned a lot I learned a lot. What do you think he's gonna...what's this old man doing here? I learned about the Pluto in Scorpio kids hmm

02:27 Bet you haven't heard of that, huh? Alright so you got your Millennials right then and after that like from 95 you got your Generation Z but there's this apparent and it's a thing. You can bing it There's the Pluto in Scorpio kids born between 85 and 95 It's just one decade And they are the ones who are supposed to be the leaders who show the path for these other generations Who are Misguided and ill yeah, I don't know what they call him. I mean that gets you going it That would be JC buzzes exactly it's but it's apparently he acts like that Like he's hey. I'm here to save y'all damnit Yeah like your buddy Beto down there

03:17 Oh, Beto. Is it Beto? Betto! I don't know...Betto, Bet-oh. You say tomato and I say bettow. So I saw a little bit of the debate and I noticed you had clips. I'm very pleased you do because you having clips of a Republican debate in Texas means it must have been pretty funny or worthwhile listening to at minimum No! This Betto guy It was interesting because he's well if we want to start with that or we want to start with your report from Europe, I think yeah We can get into this but I do have a lot of opinions about this little Texas thing going on down there Okay. I don't have much of a report But just a couple things that I picked up on there in there is such a problem And I'll just call it a Moroccan problem in the Netherlands

04:06 And when I tell people about what's happening with the Moroccans, they're like wow the immigration really messed up the Netherlands. And I had to think about it and say no hold on... They had specific Moroccan immigration from 96 or 97 because i'll recall moving back to The Netherlands and Pim Fortuyn was just coming up And I was like, holy crap something's happened here. The Netherlands are really more like a beta program for all other EU countries for this type of immigration But I really noticed it when i was staying with my buddy after the show on Thursday. He said, well you're hungry want to get something? Yeah! I want some shawarma because I can't be in Holland without having some shawarma which is made by... Explain Shawarma is a pita bread and its very old It's been around in the Netherlands for 40 or 50 years Originally Ben Cohen my buddy in Amsterdam he was one of the first to set it up So you got a big hunk of lambs meat and it's on the rotating spit vertically

05:03 And it's all about the special... It's different than a gyro? It is very different from a gyro. Yeah, and it's all in the herbs and then you eat that with a red kind of salsa sauce and on top of that a white garlic sauce. It's a very Dutch thing particularly later at night if you've gone out... South Middle Eastern! It is but it's very... I don't want to condemn the Dutch cuisine but it's all stolen Oh yeah, the Dutch all their cuisine is potatoes. It's potatoes and some little bit of meat and fish on Friday Yeah that's a Dutch have no cuisine yes of course it's all stolen but so we were in Laaren which is one town over from Hilversum. Cultural appropriation oh yeah the Dutch are filled with that

05:51 But the mosque, and the mosques have been blasting at 110 decibels for decades in Holland. And people are... you know the Dutch people are very willing and they kind of got suckered into it but now they're realizing it's the beta program." My buddy said well it's in Hilversum we'll have to go over the highway I'm like it's the next town over! No no he has a... He was driving a Mercedes which he borrowed And he said, I can't drive this car through there on a Thursday night. It's too... we could get carjacked! Are you kidding me in Hilversum? Where I used to work right where it was I did television and radio from you know for years in my younger days says yep that's how bad has gotten and so it's very odd situation that you don't recognize the country

06:38 Then in the news, a lot of talk and it's kind of filtering through to M5M about how the Dutch paperwork is now coming up. And there's you know the Dutch equivalency of Freedom Of Information Act being filed and responded too. It appears that Dutch finance not just a lot of the White Helmets activity in Syria but also a lot of the let's just call it the coup in Kiev that there was a lot of Dutch money financing the shenanigans that went on there and now people are speaking about... What? Yes! Speaking about- You think that could account for the shootdown?! You know, would you think. Would ya think And um So people are now saying hey what are we Are we part of the American regime toppling network Well yes indeed The Dutch

07:33 The toppling network. ATN, the American Toppling Network That's a network you can monetize if you're in the right camp Wait! So now the US apparently are in a deal with the Netherlands for US intelligence and military to access sovereign Dutch ground sovereign territory at any time including Curacao which is important because if you look at the map, Curaçao is down there above Venezuela and northern Africa not that far from Libya so there's a lot of different reasons why they could be strategically interesting. Wait wait wait... You're saying Venezuela? Libya? There's nowhere near each other what are you saying here did I say Libya? I meant Venezuela not Libya. Venezuela!

08:22 Yeah, okay. It's right underneath Curacao. Hold on let me look at the map for a sec what else is near there? Oh yeah hold on I don't think i'm that far Let me see what else isn't near there let's see well Colombia is next to it. I know where Curaçao is. Curaçao has a little bitty operation up north yes it's right yeah It's right off of uh... Yeah, it's right above kind of northeast I guess no North Yeah Northwest you got Aruba, Curaçao Uh yeah You got Columbia you got a lot of important stuff there Anyway, now it turns out that the Dutch may be joining the Five Eyes. What? Yeah! I don't know if it'll be Six Eyes or Five Eyes and a toenail... Six eyes would be cross-eyed! ...Five Eyes and a broken toenail. I'm not quite sure what they're gonna call it

09:11 But yeah, oh this is like an international network of intrigue. Uh-huh but we always knew the Dutch were kind of less if it's not more but the Kiev thing you nailed it It's like hold on a second what got shot down? A flight full of dutch people. You gotta think something's weird something weird happening somebody on that flight We have never really have we ever looked at the manifest Yes, there were the only thing that really popped up at the time if I recall was about five doctors who were on their way to an alternative medical summit where they cured AIDS. Yeah no no...I just always wonder about this you know they did opportunity for these spooks to kill a plane full of passengers to get one guy yeah to get through one has happened mm-hmm

10:02 I have to call my friend King Lex ask him what's going on. Hey, King? I'm sure he knows all about it. Let me see what else did I learn up? I learned that the children Do you think that maybe you know you do talk about this being a Dutch Being the beta test for this let's bring a bunch of Africans in from North areas and some other Middle Easterners, you think that maybe the entire diversity movement which began about 20 years ago was a pretext just to get people kind of like their body punches. The diversity body punches to get people... To soften them up and get them ready for it? Soften them up and move these guys in there. Sure

10:49 But the sad thing is that just it's so over accepted now, you know. Now that people are kind of on to it like wait a minute this isn't quite working out very well for us It's way too late! Yeah its too late You've got the immigrant Moroccans now their second or third generation they're in parliament They are part of the political system now Well, as well they should be if they're running the place. Yeah Yes But some of the dare I say old white Dutch people are going what happened? Well, it's the old white Dutch people that let it happen Yeah Wow So what are you gonna do? Let me see what oh I learned The kids these days love the theremin however They showed me their instrument of choice when it comes to the theremin something You'll have to bing to go look at some YouTube videos

11:44 The Badgerman. The Badgerman? Yes, b-a-d-g-e-r-m-i-n You should probably Bing that and you'll see what the badger man is and I think I need one! I don't know if you can buy them off the shelf... Well you probably do need one. I don't know if you can buy them off the shelf or if you have to construct it yourself but I really like the idea Do you have a yet did you find it No. Well, if I tell you then it's not as funny... I mean, I'm not sitting here with a keyboard and hand-raising... Here is one! It has a little movie of the Badgerman. Yes, badgerman. The badgerman played properly. It looks like a theremin. He has got the two hands Yeah but... The guy is dicking around Instead of a theremin, its'a badger. Instead of a thera? Is it a badger? Yeah instead of a theremin so instead of a board they took a dead badger and mounted a theremin on him Oh, there's a badger there

12:35 They stuck a thing in his head. This is not for sale! I don't know, i want one though It's listed on the Classic FM website as one of the 13 weirdest musical instruments ever What? The Badgerman or the Theremin? The Badgerman I just liked it like okay Anyway, so we had it. Of course Tina had already gone off to be with her sisters and family and so I got home when they tried out Saturday morning I flew back

13:15 And, uh... pretty uneventful. I'm tired though it was groggy this morning getting- Oh by the way when you're boarding they always have the preboarding stuff Yeah and you know it's a people with kids that's been expanded now to well You always have no matter what airline it seems depends on the carrier But there's kids always go for young children go first on almost every carrier No not on Southwest Yes on Southwest! No on Southwest they go after the A group Between the a and really group kids go on. Yes, okay? Well you know who always also on Southwest gets to go on first is active military

13:54 I've always wondered what is active military? Do you have to like be in combat fatigues, do you have to have your weapon with you? You have to be ready to gun down people right there. They say... You gotta be active! You gotta be- but you have to be hauling some artillery onto the plane. I don't know what- matrial here i am with my carry on matrial What does this active military bullcrap it's either military or not me active That just hit me all of a sudden. What is going on with this? Well, what it's a misnomer what it means Is that you're currently serving and you're going from place to place but you're in the military I mean that is your current job Yes Okay well That's my guess It just sounds a little strange No it does! Sounds like you are gonna be shooting up the place Yeah it does The only other thing I'd like to mention off the top Just as quick dip into the OTG world

14:46 Something I noticed with the Kyocera, and i think i have a theory as to why it was happening. The battery would not last as long as it does here in the states. I'm talking like really losing 5% an hour Okay, not even using it just being stationary. Yeah somebody's tapping into it No that was my first inclination That'd be mine I believe they use different frequencies in the EU for their 4g lt or 4ge I don't think you should choose a more juice yeah, I think maybe because of some interpretation of the radio Or did I don't know how its built but that is a problem cuz It's not gonna fly to have it You know

15:31 Basically work a couple hours and then have need to be charged. Well, you flop the battery out Can't you can but yeah, so then I got an extra battery but still it's going too fast It's going too fast And that's what I didn't using is you should look into it Yeah well I thought I want to say something now as you mentioned that the fact that you can't flop the battery out swap From you know like take three or four batteries with you and the thing goes dead You put a new one in the fact that you can't do that on most phones today is it is an abomination It's a communist plot. It's an abomination it is I'm in total agreement

16:08 So but someone one of our producers did find another phone which you know this damn Kai OS Which I really liked so you have the cat b35 mobile phone, which is they are now selling as You know a feature phone with some smartphone capability ie. No you have a modern browser But now Google bought them think we may have discussed this boo Google bottom Here it is. Get ready for Cat B35, perfect for those who need a reliable and tough phone but also some of the functionality of a smartphone And so now they've put in Google Assistant I don't think you can get that out of it if they put it at the operating system level

16:56 You don't want that. No, it's an atrocity! It was a good operating system I had a lot of hope for those guys and then they sold out to Google bastards You know the money is there and it's like what would you do? Oh, I'd do the same. It's like the Borg We both did the same thing. Yeah screw it sell it to Google Let's go eat oysters. Let's just go to Paris. Let's have our hair done It's like the the podcast network that got sold too wait for it I heart radio Aren't they broke? Yeah, they're about to go completely belly up as far as I can tell I mean I don't know how They're still holding on but yeah those yeah, and there's 55 million dollars They probably put that much into it

17:41 Yeah, some of these deals are just pretty much plain poker. Yeah. Anyway, none of that is really important what hit me on the flight home is learning of your unceremonious dismissal by email from some winky wonk from your 35-36 year vocation as writer... Have you been writing for PCMag for 36 years? No Actually, I started in August 1986 and I was continuous ever since. How many years is that? 30? 32. Over 30. And so I'm going for the record because I know these other guys have been faded out they couldn't handle it Which other guys which other guys oh I mean all the other live guys died

18:32 Back up and explain what happened just so people have some context. Yes, I got fired out of the blue or actually technically I get put on a hiatus which we all know that half our brain knows what that means Although it's not we do have a contract my wife of course is gonna give him grief because there was a contractual Obligation to send us our thing in writing and all they're screwed. Oh the divorce And there's no such thing as hiatus in the contracts, it is bullcrap. But they got some new became a social justice warrior if you looked at the newsletter I have for few of her many tweets about Trumps dumb shit.

19:20 And she said, you know He's a moron and it's all the same. It's just might as well put the name Rob Reiner on there You got the same kind of so I realize that everybody in New York is like this Well, but not only that do you wrote something? In the newsletter about this which I did not realize and I don't think we've ever even discussed that you had tried to Get PC magazine to at least mention the no agenda show whenever they did one of those lists of great podcasts To listen to and I'd wish I did not yet know you had attempted to do but they refused apparently or just would never Never put us on anywhere. They're only gonna put a sign it

19:58 And they get a lot of lame podcasts on that list. It's a very poorly done list, but it's done by one of the... The problem is you do stuff as all I know how these magazines work because he'd give it to a couple people and make a list and put in the next issue. Yeah we've done that. They put their favorite things on the list and they got what about Dvorak? He works for us. You know he's got a podcast. Got two of them actually when we listen to him at guys like a lunatic. All right loony It's right, right. Right-winger Trump apologist. But there is none of that in the DHM plug show they could have put that in there and that's a pretty well recognized… Well considering PCMag often links to stock quotations I would say it would be was at MarketWatch more? That was MarketWatch. PCMag never did that.

20:44 Anyway, the whole point is look I and it feels a bit like me at MTV to certain points seven and half eight years that in MTV as dog years near my stay was kind of getting there. And that's why eventually wound up leaving myself Well, I would have loved myself. But the record just said that I was going for 40 years! At least 35! Besides that it's just... It would've been nice if someone had called you? Yeah nobody called to this day In fact I still haven't gotten a note from anybody All I got was that first note from this woman This SJW

21:21 And, uh... Now do you know- You sent the same note to everybody else too by the way. There's two other I know that well one for sure Tim Baharan who is also a columnist at PC Man Is he also an old white man? He's an old no he's not white he's kind of a mixed race guy Oh! Racism! But he's old and he's a male Hold on wait a minute I feel a lawsuit Well, it's hard to show over this sort of contract work. Anyway so he got the exact same terse note and found it to be very offensive and he never heard from anybody So they just I don't know what happened but they've gone off the rails. I do have a An email from someone that I thought was interesting if you guys did by habit here hang on This is actually quite a fascinating note this guy wrote in

22:15 Yeah, this is from I'm probably going to print this on one of the websites. This is from We'll call him Peter I. It's a disgrace what PCMag did to you, someone has spent such a long time in that place and with such professional calibers the one you hold should be treated with a whole lot more respect than that blatantly dismissive email it talks volumes about the new editorial management staff and their values but they don't care about their audience either! They disrespect them as much as they did you. I ditched my digital subscription to PCMag after

22:52 the turn to consumerism brought upon by an editorial change over a decade ago. Not long after, I also ditched the PCMag webpage over their incredible turn towards a Mac magazine done with barely any PC content whatsoever! The only thing that kept me visiting from time-to-time was your column and as you described in the newsletter it was being hidden on purpose and had become a feat to find To get more conversation topics with my son, I turned to a Ziff Davis sister online publication IGN. At the time of that switch several years ago, i was aghast at how much PC related information I could find on that council and PC gaming site than on PCMag nowadays IGN seems

23:36 given an amazing leap forward in the SJW arena and has surpassed PC Mag's cultural Marxists, leading at least by a year or two. Going as far as baiting its readers with columns articles and opinion pieces that have absolutely nothing to do with gaming and everything to do with post-modernism to the point that I barely visit their place just yesterday IGN was pushing Michael Moore's latest anti Trump movie What does that have to do with gaming? I have no idea. I gotta be honest with you, I also kind of like all the hate comments about this particular story. He hasn't been Revellant for 20 years! He was wrong about everything! It just keeps on going. There's always a couple of those guys. Usually the same guys

24:30 It sucks. You know, it's not like we don't know that all things come to an end Like this show will eventually come to and end by death more likely than anything but... And it juries out on who is going to die first But you know, its like- You start hanging out with those 28 year olds Yeah well it'll happen quick But you know there was an end to everything but just the call That's the part I don't understand Just hey I haven't been fired from too many jobs, but when I got...I do get fired. But recently because of the magazine pullbacks When i was writing for Forbes and it's typical the way you do is like hey It's like the office space lumber guy

25:14 Um, can you give us a call? Yeah. Give us a call. I got to talk. And then they talked to him and tell you, you know, wait, we're gonna go in another direction. I think I've even fired you once Kind of didn't I had to fire you kind of at Mevio or something? You never fired me. But you cut your salary Hey old white man, guess what? Because I was getting this ridiculous health insurance that apparently was costing the company $4,000 a month Health insurance is well worth. I remember that Oh keep me on man for health insurance Okay, well take care of it

26:01 Yeah, but that's how it goes. It's unfortunately... But at least I called you! No, I called you and said hey here's what's going down and I told you what the story was and you're like oh crap but okay because just smart You understand how things work? That was unceremonious of PCMag. Hey, yeah, I love you. Well um, I've canceled my subscription! A lot people are writing notes to this Wendy woman Oh gosh And what's she gonna do? She's not even going to read it. We have to write notes of the CEO if you want to get any action, so I'll just tell people if you're gonna do anything It's like...it's meaningless So yeah The thing that is To me also entertaining as people say well Do a value for value column like you guys don't know John this is not gonna happen there will be no value for value column There will be no agenda magazine

26:54 I have a good idea for website and probably going to do so in getting keep my real loss for me is not like the PC Magazine comics, the moniker. So I can get you know review products. Yeah chicks He had chicks man. They're flocking to the house is one outside now PC Mac groupies, baby Anyway, so I'm gonna you can look for that in some time in the future Well since you brought up Michael Moore then let me kick it off with today's program Pedro did what? You're right. All right, he was on Bill Maher this weekend Promoting his new product apparently the movie is a complete flight according to Hollywood Reporter and Variety The movies is a complete tank It's just in the tank interesting you know when I was listening because I have not seen it of course when I was Listening to this interview. I thought to myself. You know this could be a shark jump moment for this guy

27:54 And, well I have a couple clips. I was fortunate enough to be able to catch the whole interview here was the opening interview which is usually about 10 minutes. The little bitty one in front? Yeah about ten minutes so i broke it down and let's start off with an intro and you know the movie is 11-9 instead of 9-11. Bad idea Yeah, I don't think that was the best title choice either but let's listen to the intro and they set this up a little bit. And no spoiler here where the movie and everything this whole interview in fact is all about getting people to vote for Democrats in the midterms. Well you have done it again Maestro! I do not know how you keep doing it? You know you do what journalism should do which is you make what's important interesting. I like how first he's gonna say you're like a journalist but then later its going be to get people to vote Democrat

28:46 Yeah, and compelling and you can't take your eyes off it. And this movie first of all the title fell right in your lap there didn't it? Yeah he was appointed president at 229 in the morning on 11 9th spooky 16 yeah Is it are they like 11 nine truthers now is that a now a thing instead of a 9-11 truther? It's an 119 truth. Er, it's so spooky. Huh? It fell in your lap Yes, there was a prophecy. It was the elders of Zion up there didn't it yeah He he was appointed president right to 29 in the morning on eleven nines. That's spooky 16 The movie coming out right before the election obviously

29:31 You want that? Yeah, because he's a journalist. He does what journalists don't do! You're not making any bones about it... you're a polemicist like I am We want people to agree with our point of view Yes And vote Like all journalists And vote Is that the main message you have for us? What is the main thing you want people to come away knowing from this It's not a democracy if you are sitting on the bench Everybody has to get off the bench. Everyone has to participate It's not a spectator sport. It's a republic, right? And and but what the movie shows tries to explain as to why sometimes people stay on the bench and I Get into talking about this about the Democratic Party and it's it's a bit of a balancing act in this film because um When I heard him say it's a bit of a balancing act in this film

30:25 That to me was already a flag that said hmm this may not work out so well This I don't know why but to hear you say that Hollywood Reporter says it's a dud Doesn't surprise me. ...in this film because, um... It's you know it's listed as Michael Morris Trump film but nobody wants to go to the theater and look at Trump for two hours Yeah I think that's exactly what your fans want to see So no. So so i do a favor for the audience right don't think you see him more than 20 minutes in the film Oh darn! But is about the trumpian time In which we live Okay The trumpian time I think that's a mistake right there. We know Trump has ratings, we know it doesn't matter who is watching they want to watch him Isn't that what we've learned?

31:10 Yes, we've learned that. We've learned a lot and I don't think this guy's learned anything in fact except I mean he was had a clue early on when he thought that Trump would win if you remember mm-hmm He said I think Trump's gonna win because I don't think they know anybody else is talking to the right people I don't think Hillary's got a chance he went on about this as You recall we played him his clips on the show and then well Within a few weeks he backed off on it because I guess he got nothing but grief from all his Hollywood friends What are you saying this for Hillary's gonna win? She's gotta win and just idiot wins were screwed So then they go. He changes His mind and went back into the wrong when I think he non-commercial direction right there now well

31:55 So he does talk about the Democrats as well, and he knocks Obama which I didn't clip any of that but you know He does some good Obama bashing but also regarding the superdelegates situation and he's very clear about that. And then you just when you kind of like, okay He's got something good there then it's back to racist rhetoric. The DNC a few weeks ago They had a meeting and they said they got rid of the superdelegates But they didn't people need to understand this all they did was say the superdelegates cannot vote on the first ballot at the convention After that, they can vote on every ballot and everything else. So they did not get rid of the superdelegates and to the Republicans' credit they actually don't have superdelegates whoever's at that convention is you know whoever is there to represent the white people that voted for them.

32:51 Those white people who voted for Trump. Does he ever look in the mirror and note that he's a white guy, an old white man? Not in this context... He's honorary black guy I guess White people that voted for them The white people deserve a party Bill They're Americans too. That's how Trump won, he made his people feel like a minority. the American public, which is self-identified as white. 77% of the American public self-identifies... Including a lot of Hispanics? A lot of Hispanics because they're Spanish descent. They consider themselves white. They don't consider themselves anything else and for the Democrats to continuously insult this group of people

33:45 over and over and over. What kind of a strategy is this? Well, if you want people to go to your movies not a good one apparently Trump won he made his people feel like a minority Right They still think that I mean they think reverse racism is a bigger problem than racism Wow! They think reverse racism is a bigger problem than racism How about just racism Bill how about all racism? I'm flabbergasted by this guy And let me ask you another question when it comes to elections. What is one of the big talking points of all parties, but specifically the Democratic Party? What is their issue with Republicans? It'll come up again. Campaign finance reform. Oh there's money! There's too much money! Rich people putting money... Am I right or wrong on that?

34:41 It's one of their big issues that they never do anything about and in most instances the Democrats outspend the Republicans. They did so with Hillary versus Trump, Hillary outspent Trump by two almost 2 to 1 I think... I know it's more than that. Wait wait forget the spending! But also Obama is a big you know huge... Forget that how about just rich people? It's Oh Koch brothers this Koch brothers they don't even put in there most rich people yeah but they're complaining about the money or putting money into elections that is the main beef I've got to get rid of the money out of elections. Unless you're Bill Maher and put in a million dollars, then you're a hero! In this small little example we see how sometimes the Democrats really screw it up They are party for people they should be there for people they should fight for the people but the good news about this election in November is that people like myself and others You have contributed to the DSCC I'm still feeling

35:42 Where do you get this money? Because I... no divorces, no alimonies. Really. People ask me this all the time, no divorces, no alimonies, no kids? Right. Oh yeah! No kids those horrible resources! And those stupid hobbies like celebrities have I don't collect fucking cars or motorcycles paintings and i'll do coke or hookers you know really no coke bill okay now all the crazy shit that people do I don't do so a lot of on the Mets So there's a lot of money that yeah, I'm Matt but that's what I spend it on right

36:20 Which is okay, because if you're Bill Maher then it's okay to spend a million dollars into politics. It's fine then! Right that's what because... Thank you for doing that thank you and what I and others have done has gone out in many times. And by the way that million looked sillier five weeks ago when i did it because the senate didn't look like its in play-it IS IN PLAY! What? IT IS VERY MUCH IN PLAY! YES IT IS! It's In Play!!! Thank goodness money changes elections remember he tried to recruit uh Steve Ballmer on the last episode of his show. More money, more money that we want into elections. Last clip and this I think this is borderline defamatory maybe even... what's the word?

37:07 Maybe, maybe. Libelous is landless? Maybe libelous yeah I thought this went pretty far. And there's a smear campaign on the internet. So we're talking about, now we're onto the Supreme Court nomination with Kavanaugh and Professor Ford? Yes, yes for sure. Things go viral and you know we've become this death threat society Yeah. People say to me sometimes oh do you think this could get violent I think it is violent but i also think that's Trump next card to play. Ah! I have already seen him talking about if he's... If the Democrats take over He says they are very violent people

37:49 We're the violent people. You know, he always turns it... you're the puppet! Always turns it around but that's what he has when The Mueller report comes out or when some other thing crashes down on him He is the violent person. He's the sexual predator Oh totally He is an admitted sexual predator and I don't mean just Hillary Bush-Bush You're the only person on TV who will state exactly what, you know... If anybody is a public high school teacher in here, there's a law in the State of California and most states that if, let's say your 13 year old girl student comes to you and says my dad keeps saying that if I weren't his daughter he'd be dating me. My dad said the other day that the thing we have most in common is sex. This picture of my dad wanting me to take with sitting on his lap and kissing him If you were a teacher and were given that, you're required by the law

38:50 to turn him in. Because he's a pedophile apparently, John That's what I hear Michael Moore saying He's a pedophile and he probably boffed Ivanka! I mean you might as well just say that But you've shown this on your show He has done...He did this when she was a tween When she was a teen And he bragged about how voluptuous my daughter is and she's... Where did the ugly orange man, what? Show me on the doll where he touched you. Teenager that-the thing is we let him get away with this The media let him get away with it All his friends in the media Let him get away with it! Less Moonvis He was getting away with it Yeah Getting- With what?! Well with uh pedophilia But who!? With his daughter

39:31 What proof of there is this? He's just one of these loving, you've seen these guys in the past. You see a lot more than you do today. You look at some of these old TV shows and see that people are little less reluctant to like hug a kid What Michael Moore is saying is if you were a school teacher and Trump said these things... Yeah, he should have turned him in. Trump should have been turned in by now! And his friends let him get away with it and then he goes straight to Moonves who was far as I know was not Donald Trump's friend quite the opposite Just because Moonves got kicked out for harassment and abuse doesn't necessarily make him a pedophile too. Tween when she was a teen, and he bragged about how voluptuous my daughter is, and she's a teenager... The thing is that we let him get away with it. The media let him get away with it all his friends in the media Les Moonves Roger Ailes

40:27 All the Bill O'Reilly's, the Matt Lauer's. I show this all in the film. The Matt Lauer's oh yeah was a big Trump fan. Bill Shine is now who was the guy at Fox News when Roger Ailes was there covering on Bill O'Reilly Now he is the advisor to Trump and the White House prepping Brett Kavanaugh They're Republican party... They are always six degrees from sexual harassment that party has I don't know, if we were to count it looks like a lot more left-leaning dudes have been locked up or kicked out for hashtag me too. Could just be me and they want to go after her now, and they've given her until tonight or something like that. Right. Ridiculous Well right now I think when we're on the air. Because women love ultimatums. That's what... Yeah Especially those who have been victimized by men You know nothing like saying to a potential rape victim Or you know, uh, you got till 10 o'clock! To tell us about the rape

41:30 That's pretty much what the Democrats are asking for. Tell us about the rape, tell us about the death... The death threats that Kavanaugh bestowed upon you And both these guys are childless so what would they know about calling someone a pedophile? What would they know about the love you might have for a child How can be proud of your child? Look at my kid! I love my kids! My kids beautiful I wouldn't be dating her, but you know... Okay it's a TV show. You say something funky but it wasn't pedophilia or pedophile remarks. It was stupid. No no, this guy is out of control. But the more I listen to this stuff and keep thinking to myself Is this going to cause backlash at the polls? Well how about the box office? It starts there!

42:10 Well the box office he killed the box office. Oh, we did it the whole idea of the movie is nothing It's just you tell I killed the box offices. Yeah, I thought there was a dud yeah well He killed the box office But it was to do the movie have any legs to begin with as anybody Is this anything that hasn't been rehashed a million times? There's just a bunch of Trump hate You can go on Twitter and get it for free not to pay the ten bucks to see them Get it for free Free let me see Hollywood Reporter Anyway, I'll look for it. It's been a did which came out a couple days ago There was some headline I got them on their mailing list and they had Put it out in an age. It's got 10 million opening week no Ten million opening weekend that's probably gonna be about it total yeah, I don't think there'll be much more No, no shoot is it confusing story anyway?

43:11 I don't think it's going to do... It just won't. But it's like what, uh, what I was telling you about Tina, you know? She did- regardless of politics she doesn't want to hear what Julia Louis Dreyfus the billionaire has to say about Trump she wants her to be funny on TV and she will purposely not read her opinion because she doesn't want to ruin it when she's watching, you know whatever the, uh... The acting yeah! Yeah, the acting! Whatever show is called. Veep! Veep! Yeah which is a great show I understand this, like ugh. You ruin it for me." Yeah these people are ruining their brand yeah well that'll clean up a lot so that was kind of lead into to Supreme Court related stuff which i do have a few clips for you know what you have if anything on the topic

44:00 Well, I have a couple of things. I got the woman's side which i refer to as CBF. You know before you do that would you mind if I just played a compilage? No play your thing! The compilation although this is would have worked on the previous episode of no agenda as well was one of those super cuts it's uh yeah this is when we were really talking about the issue of a panel of white men who are going to make the decision And just the vitriol... What panel of white men might this be? This would be the Judiciary Committee. Really?! Which is funny, because there's a bunch of women on that committee Ted Cruz is Cuban or I guess maybe he probably self-identifies as white Well what's The Eleven Men then? and what's his name? What's his name? The character from Massachusetts, the black guy who was going off to

44:55 Booker, Kamala Harris is black. Hold on hold on no no let me see what the 11 men... Who are these eleven men? I'm looking it up now let me see the eleven men isn't there a subset of the committee No it is the committee The Committee is a subset of Senate Well maybe they're talking just about Republican men on the, no it says how will the image of what is this 11 now and I feel stupid. This is a bull crap thing this is typical It's not even true? It's not even a panel of eleven dudes There was no eleven, no! Not eleven white guys Well where'd they come up with this then? Well what are you talking about? Everywhere! Everywhere All male lineup Oh GOP senators might get female aides to question Okay so the...I understand

45:48 What they're saying is the Republican senators who are on the panel are all old white men and there's 11 of them And it's because they by definition have a majority That it's just the eleven white men who will make the decision. The Democratic votes don't matter I think that's what's being implied Are we on board with that? for the purposes of this debate.

46:29 Judiciary Committee. You've got all white men on the Republican side here On the Republican side, all 11 are white men The Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee it's eleven white men And the Republicans is that there is eleven white men The Republicans happens to be eleven white men Are these white republican men essentially going to ask her if she's telling the truth? 25 years since the Anita Hill hearings what hasn't changed is the number of white men I know have covered lots of these white men. And so at the end of the day, if they have a bunch of white men once again defending another white man... You have 70-something year old white men no offense to them No offense! We don't like their process being disrupted. On the Senate Judiciary Committee is all white men Almost worst case scenario for a bunch of white men on the Senate Judiciary Committee If you're white you're racist

47:22 Do they want me to watch their station I Am over 50. I am white they should have thrown in straight just for good measure Come on I love those compilages. They're my favorite. Who did that one? Supercuts, super cuts on there it's always in the show notes. NASHowNotes.com and they always do fun stuff but they didn't do...I like it when they don't put music under it

48:04 So you can cut out one. Yes, I prefer that too! I don't like the guys who try to... hey let's get artistic and put some crappy music under there maybe people won't like it's a very bad idea this stuff stands alone too. It does when it's clean yeah you don't have to prove that your Steven Spielberg is fine we're very happy Let me see, do I have anything else as background? No. I have some other clips but let's see what you've got. Let's go to the real rundown, this CBF real rundown stalling and this is actually The little punchline at the end of this goes on from here, but it's really... This is what it's really all about. While the details of when and how are still being finalized, the possibility of hearing directly from Christine Blasey Ford promises political fireworks that could derail President Trump Supreme Court nomination

48:52 Kelly O'Donnell is with the president in New Jersey tonight and has the latest. Tonight, the answer looks like yes for an extraordinary public hearing to happen next week with a lifetime Supreme Court appointment on the line Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers informed the Senate Judiciary Committee today that she has accepted an invitation to provide what they called first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct But the time, place and details are still in dispute. A senior White House official reacted this seems like another delay tactic.

49:32 Yes Yeah, it seems like another delay tactic is a delay tactic. Yeah I have a clip about that well would play part two of this and then you can play yours tense negotiations remain underway to determine specifics including whether Ford or Cavanaugh testifies first About her claim that when they were teens in the 1980s at a party with underage drinking Kavanaugh groped her and tried to remove her clothes Kavanaugh categorically denies that allegation. Today the judge was spotted leaving his Maryland home and has said he will go back to Capitol Hill to defend his integrity at a conservative conference today, the vice president said Kavanaugh will be confirmed. The President are confident

50:19 that Senate Republicans will manage this confirmation properly with the utmost respect for all concerned. The president expressed similar enthusiasm last night in Missouri He was born for the US Supreme Court, he was born for it And it's going to happen. And Ford's lawyers said in their letter to the committee that they are disappointed in the leaks and the bullying The White House also tells me that they are frustrated by the process saying delays are unfair to the nominee who wants To clear his name and testify Yeah, so this next clip that I have will kind of show and refers to your previous one

50:59 that all of this is really meant to delay and there's rules in the Senate, and it really kind of plays into my original thesis that Trump doesn't want him confirmed. He has given them lots of outs to quit ahead of the game just get out to save his family But I don't think he's going to get confirmed at all and here is why. Politically, this is from MSNBC which was surprising to hear this clarity on their so-called news channel. Politically Matthew this seems like a no brainer for the White House just saying you know what? I got other people that might excite the base more. I think about Judge Amy Coney Barrett

51:39 That's her. Why are they putting their, they've got their own reputational issues on the ballot why add this? Well I think the big reason is the calendar. I think the democratic strategy it was apparent on day one of the confirmation hearings is to delay the nomination past the election. To delay the nomination is to defeat the nomination And if you're able to defeat the nomination, then the question becomes well who next? And what is a time frame for confirming that judge to the Supreme Court. So they are trapped by calendar. If that time frame goes beyond an election in which it's very possible that Democrats win both the House and Senate then what you're looking at is an empty seat on the Supreme Court for two years. Mazie Hirono basically raised this possibility in a news conference just this week, so that's why the White House and Republicans nationally are behind this nomination, at least want to see both sides tell their story next week Right but next week is going to be Thursday And if it's Thursday then there is some rule in the Senate that pushes the actual vote back and it won't be until after the midterms Is my understanding

52:39 Which would kind of make sense on a long bet from Trump to say, to use this as oh my goodness We have to we have to keep the Senate at minimum. Yeah get out and vote get out and vote And otherwise it'll just be two years without without any confirmation because it just won't happen probably But I think he's you know, it's a it's a hedge on his part. Here is Senator Mazie Hirono Confronted with some again this is from left-left favorite. Yeah, she's pretty funny This is Jake Tapper on CNN confronting her with the facts about all four witnesses that the judge or that The professor has presented to be on you know to be Interrogated as witnesses

53:27 So four people said to be at the party Ford described have denied knowledge of the incident. Brett Kavanaugh, obviously Mark Judge who she says was in the room PJ Smith and even Fords longtime friend Leland Kaiser so there hasn't been a law enforcement investigation but there are these statements from the four people she remembers being there who don't remember the incident or don't even remember being at the party in question according to her friend Leland Kaiser who says she believes her yes but doesn't have any memory of it Doesn't Kavanaugh have the same presumption of innocence as anyone else in America? I put his denial in the context of everything that I know about him, in terms of how he approaches these cases. As they said, his credibility is already very questionable in my mind and in the minds of a lot of my fellow Judiciary Committee members, the Democrats

54:17 So, he comes and you know when I say that he's very outcome driven. He has an ideological agenda as very outcome-driven and I notice she is not addressing the question. I can sit here and talk to you about some of the cases that exemplifies his in my view inability to be fair in the cases that come before him this is a person that is going to be sitting on our Supreme Court making decisions that will impact women's reproductive choice He very much is against women's reproductive choice. And I can tell you two very important cases in which he applied the same standard but came to totally different results. There is a difference between applying the law, as she says here and saying he's against

55:00 women's reproductive choice. I don't know why you have to, why can't you just say pro-choice? Is that not foreboding too? That's a way of yeah... You want to present it. She presents it and I think there is like talking points or some way of doing it. Yeah he presented as menace. He gets scolded by your parties. Can't say it this way and Schumer the guy behind all this. Oh yeah! There are two very important cases in which he applied the same standard but came to totally different results to make it much harder for women to get this kind of coverage so there There are... There's just no evidence for what she said. ...many indications of his own lack of credibility, and I put that in a context. It sounds to me like you're saying because you don't trust him on policy and because you don't believe him when he says for instance that he does not have an opinion on Roe v Wade You don't believe him about this allegation about what happened

55:48 at this party in 1982. Is that fair? This is why it is so important that there be a decent investigation, so that there's some effort and collaboration We think that there was a lot of drinking going on as far as his friend Mark Judge not even testify That is astounding to me He was right there in that room he refuses to testify Oh geez! He was right there in that room Well, let's talk about that for a second. I want to mention something by the way Mimi brought this up She says there's not a girl in the world especially at that age Who doesn't have a friend or two that they she would if this had happened? She would have been bitching and moaning about it too at least three women Yeah

56:30 Because women talk to women. They do that's what she says simply, women talk to women where are the women that would back her up? That she'd ever mentioned this to anybody She didn't just never happened! That's a good lesson by the way Women talk to women Yes, all men should pay attention to that commentary. All old cis white guys pay attention. Old cis white guy's know what we're talking about! Women talk to women... Well I was... ...about everything. I was again astounded by CNN who brought together a panel, a diverse panel across what i could see you as income

57:07 levels in white cis female society, Republicans and asked them about Kavanaugh and asked them about what they thought if this was true or what it meant for old allegations to come back up. I don't know if the producer of this segment is still working for CNN but the results were kind of predictable and they didn't even really edit that much As far as I can tell, maybe people sit at home and get really upset. It's like oh my God these Republican women they should not even be called women anymore they're just horrible How many of you believe Judge Kavanaugh when he says this didn't happen? I believe him. I do believe him. How could we believe the word of a woman or something that happened 36 years ago where this guy has an impeccable reputation

57:53 It was nobody, nobody that has spoken ill will about him. Everyone that speaks about him this guy's an altar boy you know a scout he's you know because one woman made an allegation sorry I don't buy it but in the grand scheme of things my goodness there was no intercourse there was maybe a touch can we really 36 years later she still stuck on that had it happened? We're talking about a 15 year old girl which I respect You know, I'm a woman. I respect... We're talking about a 17-year old boy in high school with testosterone running high Tell me what boy hasn't done this in high school? Please! I would like to know Why would she come forward if this wasn't true because it has basically destroyed her family She's had to move she's gone undercover

58:36 death threats. We don't know any of this to be true. So if she's lying, why come forward? She is also destroying his life, his wife's lives, his children's lives, their career I mean why didn't she come out sooner if she's telling the truth Why didn't she come out when he was going into the Bush White House? Why didn't she come out when... He's been a federal judge for over a decade. Why not have a thorough investigation instead of just the two of them, he said- Because it doesn't matter! It does not matter what everyone else has to say This is what happened though with Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill The FBI investigated it took three days done why not now

59:13 Well, this is not the same. This is a high school kid. I mean it's not an Edith Hill story Does something that allegedly happened some 30 plus years ago matter today? You can't judge the character of a man based on what he did at 17 And I would hate to think that 30 40 years later somebody's gonna destroy your life because somewhere as some party you It's not right, but maybe you're not supposed to. And who brought the alcohol for these kids? As women though do you have some sympathy for her for what she is going through? No I have no sympathy and perhaps maybe at that moment she liked him and maybe he didn't pay attention afterwards and when I was another girl or whatever this situation is they are kids So this was a great example of women talk to women

1:00:00 This was borderline suitable because there's a lot of things they were saying that I don't agree with. Like, oh that what 17 year old boys do? No, I've never really done that! I don't think you've done that! No, I've never jumped on some girl and tried to take her top off... You know, women talking to women like this you'd expect women to be talking with me like another way on the other side and the information just doesn't seem to be there. The only thing that was valuable that I caught again on CNN was the effect of alcohol on long-term memory brought to you by Sanjay Gupta

1:00:35 And I believe she was also consuming alcohol at this party. Was she or was she not? Yeah, it was a drunken brawl... It was a drunk fest from the sounds of it, at least the way it's been described and that one woman does bring up a funny point which would get somebody in trouble, I'll bet you depending on the statute of limitations Who bought the alcohol for these kids?! Yeah! I like that one too Back to the new developments in the Supreme Court confirmation battle. Christine Blasey Ford says she is willing to speak with the Judiciary Committee about her accusations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a topic likely to come up. How reliable is someone's memory when alcohol is involved? CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta breaks it down.

1:01:20 Well, Ana I think there's a lot of assumptions when it comes to memory and alcohol. And oftentimes those assumptions are wrong Let me start off by telling you this that a lot of the research comes from witnesses to crimes They took people who were intoxicated witnesses to crimes and sober witnesses to crimes, and they basically found that in the short term if people were questioned right after a crime had occurred there was not a lot of difference in terms of recalling details between someone who is mild-to-moderately intoxicated and someone who was sober. that was in the short term. So, that surprised a lot of people now there is something known as blackout drunk which is not the same as passed out drunk. Blackout drunk is when you can be talking, walking and interacting with people but essentially your totally amnestic to it meaning you'll have no memory of it There's also something known as grey-out which is essentially islands of memory I think thats what I thought

1:02:17 Really not remembering gray out there's also the component of time how much time has passed Since the event and this is really important here because I think when you look at how memory is actually encoded You realize that alcohol can have a real impact on a certain aspect of memory so when we remember things, we look we see we hear we feel or And those sensory inputs are immediately transferred into short-term memory. That happens pretty quickly, and that's why people again who are intoxicated can remember things pretty well. But it is that next phase going from short term to long term where alcohol sort of acts like a sledgehammer

1:02:57 And it's why people can remember things so vividly one day and then a few days later really have no recollection of it at all because the memories were never in those long-term stores. So that is just an idea of how alcohol does impact memory both in the short term, and in the long term Anna? Interesting. Thank you, Dr Sanjay Gupta. it being authentic or real, which is that supposedly she took a lie detector test and passed it. And he should take one too, which is the meme but what lie detector tests did she take? Who gave it when was it I don't remember this. It wasn't covered very well. I think its bull crap

1:04:01 There's a lot of this, just as well. Let's stop and back up and we can just stop these clips and just say this whole thing is a charade It's just that it's it's a scam! It is and the scam is obvious The scam is to delay until the calendar kicks in And they can't confirm so you get our you get Beto in so we can move to that guy God You know Just one last thing here let me see if I guess this whole debate This Kavanaugh with the women and the Fords and the Chryslers and everybody in there This has become the Twitter convo du jour and it's destroying Twitter. Oh, Twitter is really getting out of control I agree People will leave the platform... they're going to leave the platform! People are leaving the platform They are de-platforming themselves Self De-Platformization Yes, I'm thinking about it Self De-Platforming yes

1:04:55 Well, you need to self-deplatform out of California first. That would be my first order of business. We'll get to Beto in a second...Beto Beto. You say Beto I say Beto! Because first I have to thank you for your courage and say In the morning to you John C! Yes the man who put the C in PC Magazine! Dvorak! Well in the morning to you Mr Adam Curry In the morning, in the morning to all the ships at sea and boots in the air. And the subs in the water! And all the dames and knights out there Yes, and in the morning to our troll room Our trollroom at noagenderstream.com Very good to have everybody there It's nice to have the back room chat up as well Nice screen real estate, nice back here in the drone star state

1:05:41 That's where you can always find all of our trolls during the live show twice a week on Thursdays. Also in the morning to Mike Riley who brought us the artwork for episode 1070, the title of the episode was Alexa in Alexis and we had a tough time choosing the art as predicted lot people did they live robot face on Joe Biden And Nick the rat had the best it the best version of the face, but man was Mike Riley's artwork complete with You know he had to obey in the background. He had no agenda I like a topic conversation on Twitter yeah because I had oh really well really Yeah, well because Oh Neil and

1:06:28 Nick and some others they like to talk about sometimes, and I chimed in saying well the reason you know we pick what we did is because it was a little busier when you have a choice of being busy artwork in terms of having a lot of junk on that piece as opposed to being super clean unless it's incredibly elegantly funny. I mean there has been moments where like for example, I think it was Martin JJ or whoever one of the Regular guys from the past who did these simple? Jeb Bush with the big bottle glasses just these simple big eyeball glasses It was nothing more to it than this. Yeah, I mean it was just it was the choice at the moment and

1:07:12 We love what people are doing with the new headers and stuff. That looks very cool. Oh yeah, well we're gonna ban a couple things... Yes! Yeah we were going to talk about something there go ahead. Yeah we're banning anybody who uses FOMR And what was your that? What was the one thing you see I don't have any problem. I mean they put me down I'd crash jerk off or something no no no not pertinently would that would be banned No, there's not podcast jerk off longtime podcast personality which i'm okay with it's a little lengthy oh my god

1:07:49 You know, I think you're a little tired of being called a foamer even though you brought the whole topic up yourself. Yes. So if a ban is in place apparently... A ban! You cannot use foamer on your artwork if you want it to be picked No agenda art generator dot com. Thank you very much Mike Riley It's highly appreciated we love all the art that comes in and you can take a look at all of it It's very useful for all kinds of fun things and projects as over 12,000 pieces of album are twelve thousand pieces of album art And there's probably at least a thousand outstanding Pieces yes Oh more than that

1:08:34 We've had a thousand and sixty, a thousand and seventy episodes. So there's more than a thousand outstanding pieces There is more! There are the ones that didn't quite make the cut Now it it's a fantastic archive I hope there's a backup of it Yes, I've been trying to get our guy. I always get very worried about stuff like this. You know what? I lost my copy of Web Copier Pro which is my favorite spider. John, our producers need to do this we're not good at this. Yeah somebody can... well we can do it but we can't do it No! We'll do it and then it'll be on a drive don't know where the drive is It's somewhere in Mexico. It's a nightmare. It was lost

1:09:13 It's a nightmare. I know, I made it copy somewhere! This is not what we do, just being honest. I have stacks of hard disks that i have to go through once in awhile. Literally, I have a stack of hard disks. So when they put a machine out of service...I've been doing this long enough over 30 years at PC Magazine stack of hard disks cuz I take the old hard disk and I have a thing you can take the hard disk and plug it into this device, and it'll think It's like your real drive And it is and you can look at your old hard discs. And just like they can't go through all this crap I'm should just drill them all by the way did want to mention that I didn't realize about Christina and her girlfriend in their roommate Had not seen they live yet Oh yeah, but boy did they love it

1:10:02 Oh yeah, they loved it. Yeah they loved it. It's corny but great! So Noah Jenner ArtJenner.com you know again and it's a great resource and also you can go to noagendershop.com those guys put on T-shirts make sure the artists get paid I mean it's a beautiful ecosystem as part of our value network Value for Value and this is the donation portion of it the first one for each show where we thank our executive producers and associate executive producers You know I have to say something about They Live Because it's a movie that once in awhile you think about these things. The way the they live concept works is that the reason you can't see this signage and all of the brainwashing and these ugly people that are roaming around, there are lots of ugly people roaming around, is because of this transmitter which is actually symbolic of the media

1:10:54 That John Carpenter, always thinking in metaphors. Because that transmitter is a transmitter that's transmitting these waves to make you not see these horrible looking people and brainwashing and that transmitter is the mainstream media it's a transmitter! Anyway so that's what that's all about And we are your vision We are those sunglasses You put them on twice a week they work on Thursdays It's gonna get old I know you're gonna get tired. It's already okay, I'll stop move along All right so we do have a few people to thank and I want to incorporate a couple of people that were at the Oakland meetup which was a great little event it was very unusual how many people showed up

1:11:42 Sorry, how many people attended? 53 no nice number. That's a pretty big meetup. It's not a small little diddy I'm I left it unfortunate getting a sore neck and wait a minute you bailed I bailed at 730 it was gonna go to 8 so i left a little early and I missed Defabaugh who showed up late oh and the blind dame which is her husband, which I felt really bad about luckily Mimi took you know them as Mimi pretended to be you. Make sure they introduce them to everyone or Mimi will never Mimi pretended to be you and she didn't know the difference? Is that what you're telling me about the blind dame? They knew the difference there very disappointed had to make it up to him somehow Yes! You should It's horrible

1:12:22 And then I was kind of disappointed that some of our regulars from the area weren't there. Dame Tanya could have been there, Bean, Sir Bean? He never shows up to anything. So okay anyway so we have two executive producers that came out of this group Including, of course, Sir JD the Baron of Silicon Valley was there with $300 and something to match anybody's hundred dollar donations. Wow! Great! He just gave the whole money I mean he only matched a couple but it's actually ended up collecting five hundred thirty three dollars and we'll credit him with 333 333

1:13:09 And then the other, and he'll be executive producer. And so also Luke and Beatrice Hatcher from Oakland came in with 333-333 and a check with a note too. Now I want to, this is what I want us talk about about the meetup This was the most disorganized, not in terms of the meetup actually happening but in terms of the people that showed up at the meetup. It's as if they showed up and then they said I don't know it's just Dvorak's there well we didn't bring an envelope with the money and a note so let's go to the ATM this is according to Jay. Wait wait wait! Everybody went to the ATM and came out... You're like a hooker in Vegas you can always go to the ATM darling

1:13:53 They all donate 60 bucks and according to Jay it's like yeah, they went to the ATM took a hundred out kept 40 put sixty in it It wasn't half the time. It even wasn't an envelope It was like a piece of paper made to look like an envelope some scratching right? Let's be honest with this style. Here's that note. This was this was a check style points count I It was very funny, but Luke and Beatrice they came up with a check which one of them had I think. And then there's this piece of torn paper it's like torn! Hey John, long time no see. What an outrage! Well just one of the notes was on the back of this guy...I'm not gonna embarrass him by saying that. It was his wife's shit to get some free cafeteria meal

1:14:44 He had his wife's name on the back and he scribbled something on it. This was so last minute, classic Silicon Valley area. I love it! Let's do this at the last second because I'm reflective of that too unfortunately. Long time first time. Please clarify you said chit not shit right? Chit. CHIT. Yeah C-H-I-T. No one knows what a chit is. Not everybody knows this international program. Look it up. Thanks for all the work you guys do to keep us informed and entertained. Love and light, no nothing else there's no jingles You can throw in a jingle one just give that both JD and these folks a...JD also had

1:15:26 He had his money in his envelope, it was a Betty U Fong. It was an estate envelope that was torn open and he stuffed the stuff in there then he had some notes scribbled all over it. Unreadable! Unreadable! It's outrage! Here is some karma thank you You've got karma Oh man But maybe organizing what he's calling a peerage dinner. Oh, that's an interesting idea we'll talk about that more in the future and I also want to mention one of the other nights that were...I think it was a night he came up with this great two great ideas what when he's getting a lot of little stickers made but he's getting a it turns out that most homeless people living intense

1:16:15 will let you stencil a message on their tent. Whoa! Give them money. Advertising opportunity He says it's the advertising opportunity of the century and he is getting the no agenda stencil made, and he is going to go from homeless encampment to homeless encampment and dole out some cash and stencil a No Agenda show Wow On these tents This is big John this is big money This is big money. Hey, so hold on a second... We need to get some publicity for this at some point! Do we want noagendashow.com or do you want to have one of our crazy URLs that forwards the No Agenda Show?

1:16:55 I don't know. Yeah, because otherwise it's formative stages. Let's let us develop our podcast is advertising on homeless people's tents. We now go to Joshy Dvorak on the scene. John what are you learning down there? There's a bunch of homeless people in all these tents! I've got this stencil on him and I'm talking, I've got a couple of homies. Oh the guy left. Well anyway he told me before he left that these guys came along with 10 bucks and they would spray on their tent. They said no problem and they ended up spraying on everybody's tents! This podcast has an innovative idea for helping people out of poverty it's called The No Agenda Show. No agenda done by former VJ and former PC Magazine writer John C. Dvorak

1:17:42 John C. Dvorak was just recently fired from his job at PC Magazine, which he notes was before the lucrative tent action. I love it! It's a great idea. I'm all for it. Fabulous. Hey we paid him man! Nine out of ten homeless people prefer the No Agenda podcast. We're sick bastards! Sick I tell you... That is one of the better ideas It's one of the best ideas I've heard. Can we tie it into blockchain somehow and do a cryptocurrency with these people? Blockchain stenciling! Do crypto with these people and help them out of poverty As we laugh at the plight of the homeless, very good Very classy No, we're horrible We are horrible...it's terrible But hey 10 bucks is ten bucks Right Yeah I'm all in Alright what else from The Beat Up

1:18:46 Uh, no there wasn't much else. Are you gonna thank some other people later? Oh, Briony showed up! Oh how's Jen doing? She was in dimension B and she kind of snapped out of it for a while. Yeah. She's doing fine and uh... Does she still like me or does- I introduced her to Mimi immediately and the two hit it off. Oh perfect yeah. They're both tall. She is going to be living up there before we know it Well, there's an element of this. I don't know if I can even discuss it Yeah, I think so which I'll discuss in the future Oh come on well Briny apparently thinks that or likes the idea and she's bad I think she might have the chops because I tried to explain why you know? I was like helping briny to mentoring her in into her model cuz she's got talent That's why she's a natural yeah

1:19:36 She's a natural podcaster, she has got good voice. She knows how to use her voice. Yeah she is talented! She wants to try doing some stand up. Oh interesting I bet you could do it too. Mimi of course produces comedy and she knows everybody in the business She already has a date at Giggles or what is it called? Giggles and Yuck Yucks. So Mimi can coach her a little bit, mentor her in the stand-up business enough so that she could actually do something and practice if she likes it. And then I said good! She's yours now. Oh handoff oh very good

1:20:20 Very good. Does she still like me or she pissed about our Twitter back and forth according to Mimi? Yeah, and Jay I guess it was listening on some of this She is grousing about you yeah, I knew it's damnit Yeah, but I'm only saying to help her. She's just grousing you're too harsh on her. You're harsh love baby It's tough love tough love. I don't say because I got lots of other things I can do in my world So we're gonna do more of these meetups a here and there More of this mentoring yeah, we'll do more this mentoring We wind up hating me if he wind up hating me and doing stand-up welcome to podcasting Hey worked out for me

1:21:00 Right. So anyway, but that will do we should do more of these I'm gonna do another one in Seattle and when you another one in the house just cranking them out We got to get our Austin meetup done now damn it Yeah You can we should do at least we should do one a month where we can't it will do one every couple months maybe hmm Alright, so let's go on. Well it sounds like you had a good time and I'm very happy and glad people showed up. We didn't like the place, the Drakes' place with surly waitresses and they didn't like the fact that we had so many people crowding around us huge huge place but they wouldn't give us the kind of tables we wanted there was bunch of... You know this seems to be a bit of thing these places

1:21:41 Don't want to, you know give you an area because well. You know we can make more money the other way around Very dickish Dickish yeah, that's the word dickish I want to thank everybody who came to meet up this fantastic sounds like you had a good time A couple more things items are you and curry ever gonna like do a meetup together no I said no, probably not. We don't actually like each other. The other one is...I have a great idea! Do the show live together during the meetup. Hello? Exactly! Did i tell you this already?! No, no, I get that all the time

1:22:28 All the time, yeah. You have a great idea! On stage, on stage... They want to see you on The Shades and me with my Tourette's? We're got great show So I told the guy, I said here's the problem. Finally, I had to kind of discuss this with this guy because he was adamant. I said here is the problem it involves an audience and both of us are kind of have a performance gene. And so we start playing to the audiences me especially you know I won't even be talking about these items that were trying to discuss in show. I'll be doing jokes and making funny comments see if i can get a rise out of the audience It would be a disastrous show

1:23:09 It would totally suck. And I'd be really confident conscious of my tics and stuff. You'll be all nervous about your... The tic? No, no, tics plural we're talking about. Yeah they're jerking around, spitting. Okay let's start thanking some people they were done with it. I think that covered it alright but anyway thanks for everyone who did show up. That was great. Where is Alan Bean that's what I like to know Brian Barrow, 34567... Sir? Brian? I'm not sure. I don't remember. I think so. Really sorry to hear about your PCMag partying ways situation take this donation as a sign you still have the support of the No Agenda audience

1:23:50 Without meaning to be funny, please give yourself some jobs karma. Yeah I was thinking about that too what kind of jobs karma would you prefer? We have the Nancy and Trump we got the Trump and we got just Nancy Oh no don't do me the Trump Just regular Nancy Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! And Jobs! Let's vote for jobs Henceforth, henceforth to be known as a regular Nancy. Yes, give me the regular Nancy! I want a regular Nancy. Yeah, sounds right. Steve Fisher, 333.33 RIP PC Mag I bet they don't last another year. Sure! I remember when PC had spawned out of popular electronics. Oh is that true? Well it kind of was true. PC Magazine was actually started by David Bunnell and then it was bought in a guy named Tony Gold and Bill Ziff bought the company out from under

1:24:51 Right, but now and banal started PC world pissed off which was an opera and in Ziff did have popular electronics which they folded Because this is the reason I just nobody very few people know this But popular electronics folded because the circulation was too high. So Wait a minute, come back at me with that. Let me just let me check the bong for a second it folded because the circulation was too high Yeah, it's too high and growing. Were they losing money on every edition? Not that anyone can tell but Schiff has this very unique theory of... And he is the specialist in this and likely I got to sit and chat with him a lot about special interest publishing and I got a lot of insight that I still discuss occasionally but

1:25:45 The way he always saw special interest publishing it was really has to be super targeted and you could get so you had a when You created a world right? And so PC magazine was a world into itself. That's why all Advertising had to be about the stuff that we talked about in the magazine. You cannot have an ad from Ford, right? anything and and apparently this Popular trance was getting so big that it was losing this this to focus on a small enough group that you could sell to the advertisers. It was all about creating an audience for the advertisers and they were branching out too much. That audience was not being defined specifically enough, he decided hell with it. Boom! Anyway goes on book report Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks & White Liberals 2005 He explains the race problem in a way that you will never hear anywhere else

1:26:43 Remember, he's a successful black man. His other books are highly recommended to you. He is very interesting guy yes? He is at the Hoover Institute Have you read this book? No I have not Okay it's on the list then He is very easy to read writer. Very good writer Sir American Carnage You never see him in a review or anything because he is a black conservative Sir American Carnage 333-33 Aka, sore American carnage when I saw on Twitter that John had been unceremoniously fired from PCMag. I had to donate since it has been a little while since my last contribution. Firstly the show has been excellent lately you two provide incredible information and analysis value second

1:27:25 I'm always listening through the archives between current shows. Recently, I came across a complete gem when James Comey was first clipped and analyzed on the show episode 656. Adam referred to him as a nut job! Which is the exact term Trump used after firing him. Coincidence? Read the book! This further confirms the long time suspicion that Adam is from the future I have attached a clip in question Thank you both for your courage Very strange, he...I guess he was forced to do it He's coming into his own now

1:28:05 And now he's, you know... Now it's a couple months. He's been in his department and this guy is like a nut job operator! And he is a frightening individual I can't even remember me saying that! I don't remember either You know why? Because of the alcohol There's no long-term memory Yeah maybe Good catch! Well thank you because It is sometimes astounding what we've discussed on the program. Yeah, yeah it's pretty... There was a book that came out and I'm gonna discuss it soon about how we coddled our American children into morons that they are and I went to search.nashownotes sure enough there was the same guys in Atlantic article from six years ago! I mean it's crazy what we discussed on this show

1:28:58 I'm not gonna argue. It's almost like we're being guided from a cosmic sources yes from the number three six and nine yeah Eight should be in there somewhere, too All right now we have one i'm just looking it up to see if there's a note from him because there's no note on this uh Jonathan wall august 29th is that right? Uh what no no that's 2014 never mind Are you looking through scroll man? We have a donation from norman walls Uh, from Kyle Kaya Lua Kona Hawaii 333. Unless that was from the last show I'm not sure. No? I don't remember this one Okay well anyway if he has something to tell us he'll let us know Mark Jasper $300 I have never been fired by a front hole Man! That's like commentary there for you Thank you for your courage Mark Jasper Yeah darn Geez

1:29:59 Onward to the associate executive producers, Sir Chad Biedermann, the Baron of Guam. 250 bucks. Bless me John and Adam I spent one year since my last donation. I've been working on bringing down my credit card debt and had planned on mailing a check in the next few months however the news of JCD's departure from PCMag drove me to act early. John is one of the few voices in the world of so-called tech punditry that actually moves past the gee whiz Excuse me, gee whiz sophistry of great innovations that aren't great revolutionary useful or benign. Let me stop you right there for a second

1:30:37 I have learned, and as i'm sure you have as well we were talking about some great tech on the previous show. The new Apple Watch which some people found a very humorous analysis but the term complication... A complication on a watch face comes from the traditional watch making world neither of us knew this Because we know when I would have fancy watches But back in the old days if it was more than just a watch with hands Like a moon or date or anything else besides just the time is known as a complication Thanks, and that's why Apple uses that great opportunity to rebrand but okay. It's good guys Yes, I'm sure the Baron of Guam appreciates that interruption. I'm sorry

1:31:29 I'm tired of people telling me how, but it's a good piece of information. Now I know and why would Apple use that term? The Baron of Guam is growing old! I mean, come on. Because i think it confuses people. I'm tired of... go back Baron is back Chad here we go! I'm tired of people telling me how great a network voice activated microwave oven is when only takes two to three minutes to make a bag of popcorn in the damn thing That's Amazon didn't they just release a new microwave with Alexa in it? It's dumb and did you see it haven't seen it who wants it

1:32:08 I think that's peak Alexa. Put your cat in the microwave immediately! It's peak Alexa right there You still have to get out of your chair and take the bag of popcorn in and out of the microwave, you nitwits What's the benefit? Pretending you're on Star Trek?! Who thinks crap like this has any utility at all? See, we've... Chad can be writing some columns here. Yes! Indeed this is someone who has been influenced by your magazine I think no he's always-I believe guys like this are always this way they just need someone to confirm their already existing opinions Okay well that's still important That's my belief i think that what the show does too

1:32:52 kind of know this is going on but they need somebody to kind of outline it for them because they got other things to do. They have jobs and someone can always blame later will Dvorak said it yeah well that's good too as you no doubt have noticed I really appreciated John's pieces in PCMag because they seem to be the only place where common sense would kick in with regard to Silicon Valley inventions and personalities luckily we still have such insight at The No Agenda Show but only if my fellow listeners donate Related congratulations to Adam and Tina on their upcoming nuptials. She sounded like a keeper to me for the first time Adam mentioned her. No, she is total jingle request

1:33:30 Star Wars from L Sharpton. I don't know why but that cracks me up every single time Chad Baron of Guam we can give him some karma to is a good guy everyone's going nuts about it Yeah, I don't know why either but it is no reason for it to be funny It's just funny Scott Floyd in Clayton California two hundred dollars and thirty cents I wanted to donate 200 to finally become a knight and help the slacks. 30 cents on the back, to tie it to many years of Dvorak has been sharing his insights in PCMag with many other sources. I'm hoping to be Sir Scott Diablo can you de-douche me? You've been de-douched! Can you play the Obama mariachi no no no and resist me much

1:34:24 Thank you both and sorry about PC Mag John, unbelievable note they sent to the next Bay Area meetup. I was watching my kids Friday and letting my wife have the weekend off so I couldn't make it yesterday. Okay, you know what? No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no Be committed. You've got karma.

1:35:09 And he says, it's his birthday. Hope I get this in on time. I'm on vacation in New Orleans having my rent boys and Chardonnay here is the money. There's plenty of it down there. Here's the money where all you can get some muscadine wine back from Louisiana too. Oh, I thought you said there was plenty of rent boys down there? Yeah, rent boys are available. Here's the money I would have spent on one. I'm taking one for the team today. Is that all it costs? Rent boys are too high. Is that the market, is that the going market now? Gerald might or might not know this from Durham nearby. Now I want to talk a little bit when we get out of this segment about North Carolina and then and the storm because there's something that no one has covered i don't know why maybe Gerald can send us a note later about it okay That concludes it those are our producers associate producers and executive producers for show

1:36:05 1071 I want to thank you should everyone ever be for supporting this operation. Yeah, this operation Thanks you and we'll be thanking more people in the second donation segment for people who came in with $50 and above And as always another show is coming up at this time for real on Thursday I look forward to it as does my partner in crime John C Dvorak You can remember support us at Dvorak.org So, you're gonna do that- I just wanted to mention.

1:36:58 Let me see. I finally got one where is it here before you go to that? There was one more Associate executive producer at the meetup Oh came in it was like another scrunched envelope 200 bucks inside another last minute anonymous It's kind of a weird boy, I gotta boy boy good boy All right, we're going to talk about North Carolina. Oh yes, North Carolina. Now there's been coverage and coverage they did say there's been a couple of stories about this but if you remember a number of years back and this has been going on is still an ongoing problem. North Carolina is one of the biggest producers of pork

1:37:47 in this country. And I would say you might have an investment opportunity because a lot of it gets exported to China, but there have and there were tons of stories 60 minutes in the nightlines all these things about the huge piles of pork or pig crap all over the place. And it was like stinking up coal counties of North Carolina stink because of the pig crap that was everywhere and all these pigs, shit all over everywhere. And apparently a million or more pigs were killed by this storm, these floods and these storms. What happened to all the pig poop? Does anybody write a story about it? The whole state has to be inundated with pig poop! It's like a sewage mess and no one has discussed this.

1:38:37 Now I know that everything went from North Carolina to South Carolina. But where there to yeah, but where does it ultimately flow? I mean this stuff is managed I mean, but Tina was telling me that she looked at the Lady Bird Lake Which is really part of the Colorado River which is managed by the lower Colorado River Water Authority It's all connected and she said there was sludge coming through the other day. I mean you got a wonder who do what you're right Where does it go who takes care of it? Where did you just roll off down to blue? This is the Gulf? Nobody's writing about it. Are these guys... Was that picture of Cooper sitting and standing in the water, was he actually standing in pig poop? I don't know! I think he was It must have been Do you have a clip? Don't have a clip Maybe there'd be an outtake, going boy stinks here for some reason What does this stink? What does this smell? Very poor reporting Well zero reporting

1:39:36 Anyway, just it just bothers me and I really realized how poor the reporting is when you when you? We over in Europe and even your certainly from our side as well. We're not getting enough information and cool tidbits from our producers I mean you look at what had did you know about the big brexit breakup they were all in Austria And and the EU said Screw you, Theresa May. We're not taking your deal." And then she went back and they're all yelling back and forth and apparently it's all about Northern Ireland? I mean we don't know any of this in the United States of give my nation none of it none of that did you see it on Democracy Now! Did you see it on PBS NewsHour? These are no unimportant events No, that's because he's got nothing to do with Trump

1:40:22 Although, it did remind me that Trump had told her look you got to approach the negotiations this way and he said no she didn't want to take my advice so she'll do her own thing. It's gonna be very tough and it looks like she went into a negotiation and didn't do it right And I can, you know it's the now it's the EU guys who are all sitting there all high and mighty and they're gonna show their big swinging dicks like huh we're the EU. We're not going to take your damn deal doing no-deal Brexit! And of course I think there is a real conversation but it's about Northern Ireland and it's called The Backstop Which means if they're not able to get a deal by 2020, then Northern Ireland would remain under the economic control of the European Union and not under the United Kingdom. Now I'm not sure why Northern Ireland itself is so important

1:41:11 I mean it's industrial, is that where all the Google? No they have been in Ireland not Northern Ireland right. Right yeah Apple and Google. We'd have to look into it but nobody seems to be covering it. Well I tried to look around a little bit and really couldn't find like a specific reason Well, somebody came up with this thesis that if you could do a no deal Brexit and then base everything on WTO rules which are really more of a meta. That would screw the EU over. In other words you have to trade if you're in the WTO

1:41:48 which they are, both groups. You can't do any of this kind of stuff you want to do. You have to follow the rules of the WTO and you've already signed on at the WTO we've done it a lot of our laws in United States are null and void because of signing under the WTO for some reason they take precedent which screws over a lot of small businesses in particular but that's what they should do Just say okay, we just could you WTO rules. That's that's it We're just going by that stuff well so this of course is Once again raised the talk of another vote a do-over on break on the Brexit vote It's a lot more of that and Yeah who knows what's gonna happen? I don't think they're not gonna give him a deal Go ahead and figure it out Theresa May no, I don't think they can give them a deal either Oh

1:42:47 But then you've got to doubt the brexit at all is it a break. Is it a breaks if it didn't happen? Falls in the woods yeah, it's all just it's all just imaginary anyway So we have a piece of paper somewhere and we do some stuff Yeah Let me see what else so I have here there's a number of different directions We can go there isn't important bill That is coming up for a vote very soon now, which is not getting a lot of coverage. I think it's interesting this is a federal bill Mr President the Agriculture Committee has put together an excellent piece of legislation For the first time in 80 years This bill legalizes hemp

1:43:36 We forget, but hemp was widely grown in the United States throughout the mid-1800s. Americans used hemp in fabrics, wine and paper Our government treated industrial hemp like any other farm commodity until the early 20th century when a 1937 law defined it as a narcotic drug dramatically limiting its growth This became even worse in 1970 when hemp became a Schedule 1 controlled substance. In Colorado, as is true across the country I've talked to a lot of colleagues here about this we see hemp as a great opportunity to diversify our farms and manufacture high margin products for the American people. Yeah baby! Good products now apparently this is the farm bill?

1:44:29 And let's mention something here. Sure, industrial hemp not the same as marijuana plants. That's correct, however an important part of this farm bill is that is the extract rule for CBD that will be legalized that will be a best part of it so you can create marijuana where in there have marijuana hemp advertising whatever you want to call it we can extract CBD for some groovy products Yeah, anti-convulsants mostly. Well there's lots of stuff Anyway... Yes this needs to go through Oh and I think it will And of course this could be a pretty big little economic sector We're good at it we're farmers! We could be very very good at this They are talking about CBD portion of it alone Legalization of hemp and CBD could grow consumer market to $22 billion That is not bad It's nice little cottage industry

1:45:33 And I will say this, the hemp is very useful. We're talking again not marijuana and not CBD and not THC. The plant has a fibrous content that can be used to make cloth, rope almost all ropes were made from hemp cars. Hello? What are you laughing about? What cars are made from hemp? Go being a hemp car it's right there. Hemp Car they also ran on hemp It's there. And Cheech and Chong, hello! But yes there is a hemp car The usefulness of hemp in industry is quite high now the one thing left out this report that when it was made illegal it was made illegal by... This is not people can check this out and call me on because I'm not looking at the research as we speak The Hurst Yes it was the Hurst William Randolph Hurst supposedly had a bunch

1:46:36 tree farms and hemp could be used to make newsprint. And apparently early newspapers had a high composition of hemp I don't have this information in front of me, i'm just pulling it out. I've heard this as well but that's when they started printing stories about Mexicans who were high on the marijuana weed and we're freaking out and we're coming here to rape our women Now, that was the reefer madness era. And so they made...they illegally made the whole hemp plant which is not in our...these industrial hemp plants which are huge can be used to make ethanol I know that probably more efficiently than corn and they can be used to make paper and all these other products that come from this plant but

1:47:23 Supposedly Hearst was behind the abolition movement, or one of the guys. And it worked out for him! Yeah well it's gonna work out for us because that's another sector that we can enter into and tax the hell out of Which is just like, oh man I love this story. What a statistic! This is from CNBC. New research on teen vaping shows that about 20% of high school students have used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days The number has soared 75 percent from a year ago. Seventy five percent great

1:47:59 That is according to a Wall Street Journal story citing unpublished federal data. By the way, they're saying this... The whole read here is with... Oh geez! It's horrible these children are vaping. I mean does he have a doctor? Does he have a medical opinion on this? He certainly has an agenda like oh god so fuck the children FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is considering a fast-track review process for e-cigarettes that include features that discourage use by kids. The FDA announced a historic crackdown on e-cigs last week, threatening to ban some products like flavored nicotine that appeals more to kids...like cucumber? I saw peach, I saw mango, cherry. There is something to be said about the oral...

1:48:48 She sounds hungry. I just want to point out that you create regulations for one reason and one reason only, right after regulation comes taxation! This is so obvious but they're like oh save the children or some crap like that from your financial news station by the way fixation, Freudian... Yeah but if you're selling it to try and help smokers kick an addiction you don't need all these candy flavors. But generating new nicotine addictions a delivery system that generates new nicotine addictions is just doesn't... And you don't know what it does to their lungs as FDA commissioners constantly said the delivery system through the drugs or through the lugs is not a way he would ever suggest you... No! Through the nose thats how we should do it You get your intake of anything

1:49:32 You're right, Liesman. Now I want to outlaw vaping. I'm turning into a big government regulation person. We're switching... That and the tariffs and all that stuff! Right? I know it's upside down anyway. Become hardcore big-time government guy. Like me and Elizabeth Warren. Exactly two ends they bend. They meet. Space time! Space time continuing. Stephen Hawkins. Are they high what are they talking about I mean, this is the weirdest segment. It's like they can't make up their mind if it's good or bad or it's like the tariffs are doing need this now and children shouldn't know it's good If you're trying to wean people off smoking how about a whole new category of drug?

1:50:17 This is another taxable moment here. This is fantastic, get on board people. near schools Because that's where the kids are doing all the vaping. This is fantastic You get the kids hooked on the vape and of course We're gonna legalize the nicotine part because that's in that's the way it works now we've cut out all the young guys like Dexter, you know Dexter at his own they still has his vapors e-liquid company doing really well but it's gonna get cut out eventually cuz you'd have to pay a million dollars per flavor to get an approved

1:51:03 You get all the kids jacked up on it, they're going to school. You got Bluetooth controlled so it's like... Uh, slave in seat number five! If you have the answer right I'll turn on your vape. And they go, thank you teacher This is a setup for these children. Yes, it's all part of it. I mean that's the beauty of it is you can be vaping... You could be dabbing and no one will really know. Yeah exactly! But 75% increase in vape and believe me It's not just kids vaping cucumber nicotine. All right well thank you for that report. A little report for ya. Can we go to Bato?

1:52:08 Yeah, Beto. Beto. Beto. Beto. A couple of things about this guy... Now I don't know if you've heard him talk enough that he's trying to sound like Obama He's kind of doing... Yes, yes. And he's even being compared to Obama we had that in our last report. Because he's using Obama's cadence. Now there is a very short clip I don't have the whole thing you had the whole thing it's boring so i got just piece of this is him in a black church and he's using as one of his items is that woman that I didn't know if she was

1:52:46 She wasn't a white girl, but she's the one who went into the black guys apartment below hers and shot the guy to death. Yeah she was a white cop yeah She's white. I thought she was she looks Hispanic to me Oh It's beside the point and she's a cop and she went and shot this guy to death And you know, this is a sketchy story everybody knows what it says something may was a jilted lover We don't know that stories never been fully realized so we don't care But this guy's in a black church getting everybody all riled up and tell me just listen to his cadence He's not trying to be Obama in a black church

1:53:22 in this very year, in this community that a young man African American in his own apartment is shot and killed by police officer. And when we all want justice and the facts and the information to make an informed decision Yeah, totally. Totally what was wrong in him? If we can find that grace anything is possible yeah if we can tap that grace everything can change

1:54:17 Yeah, it's a little bit. It's taking a little bit from Martin Luther King. Yes yeah Martin Luther King. And also I saw him have a video of him at the drive-thru but Whataburger Drive-Thru which is big in Texas or Whataburgers and he was doing air drums in the car You know, all hip and stuff. There's nothing more pathetic than a white guy doing air drums at a Whataburger drive-thru. Yeah it was like the scene in the couple scenes in Office Space where the guys were listening to rap. Very very sad.

1:55:00 Now, so we have the Beto Cruz debate that went on. Yes yes yes. And a couple of things my take on this for one thing Cruz has always been kind of a snot looking guy that I don't think has a lot of personal appeal in terms of his appearance Beto's worse. Yeah, you know Beto looks like the kind of kid that was it was in school He'd want to punch him he said go pull his pants up You know or do something? You want to be mean doing out like this if you're in high school I'm talking about in the olden days nowadays no Were you like were you mean to the nerd because I was that guy oh

1:55:38 I was better with a nerd that was the Beto. Yeah, yeah well you'd have been somebody would have you know tripped you or And I had Tourette's Oh yeah, you'd be screwed. So nowadays you're safe because everybody's all into the oh what a poor kid let's treat this put this make make an example out of doing anything to him Let's just give him a diploma just cause he's sick This is his Beto guy He's a very... Beto is The problem that Cruz has is Beto is a lot taller than Cruz and much more stately

1:56:16 Until you actually look at him. He's a Ichabod Crane guy, he has veins in his neck His neck is like he might be a lizard It's possible that he's a lizard I don't know for sure but he might be and that's why he got the cadence now this Obama cadence Yeah Lizard talk, Lizard tone I've got three debate clips Alright I've got that clip which i picked up earlier which was two of them bickering And then I have three others Here's what you have to remember a couple of things Cruz was a borderline professional debater. He was a master debater Master debater and he Should be able to kick anyone's ass in the debate I think this guy somebody took him aside and said hey, you want to beat Cruz here? Um

1:57:09 You want to just point out what he's trying to pull with his discussions because he is pulling stunts. Cruz is pulling stunts and this guy, this Beto guy brings up... But in a number of points during the debate, Cruz would shake him up. He would say something and get them all shook up and they'd be nervous so he's not as good as Cruz in debating but he's pretty good at doing retorts. Here's the bickering clip. And we are moving on here. Sorry? Yeah, play that clip. Oh no I thought you were talking in between, I'm sorry. And we are moving on here... Of course I support the Second Amendment!

1:57:49 In what way, in what respect and name one judge you've ever supported who would actually uphold Hillary? You may not understand how the House and the Senate work but it's your job in the Senate to decide if you're going support or not support a given nominee. Did you endorse Hillary Clinton? Not-not-not in the House. Did you endorse Hillary Clinton? That has nothing to do with the support of the Second Amendment. It does because Hillary promised every justice she would appoint would vote to overturn Hillary. I fully support the Second Amendment. You're both past your time gentlemen let's move on here. Oh yeah, after that little back and forth and the guy got a good one in there if you understood the House and Senate by the way he was shut up. Hold on hold on... He actually even stutters like Obama when he's shook up

1:58:30 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good good catch. All right so here we go with the Beto Cruz. Beto's talking about all the blacks in prison he's trying to appeal to the black vote in Texas but he's kind of one of those guys I don't know if the black voter would...I mean they like to hear him going on and on but He's got this really smarmy quality that I don't know if blacks really, I don't think they like Cruz either. I just don't think they're gonna come out and vote for either one of them but let's play... This is the way it would, this clip 1 and this is kind of the way it goes. That is disproportionately comprised of people of color too many unarmed African-American men losing their lives in this country to peacefully

1:59:12 protest that injustice non-violently and to call attention to that, to prick the conscience of this country so that those in positions of public trust and power will finally do something. Standing up not just for your rights but everyone's rights in this country there is nothing more American than that. That's your time Congressman I'm going have ask again for the audience please refrain from reacting and applause okay we need to get through a lot of questions here Senator Cruz. You know, Congressman O'Rourke gave a long soliloquy on the civil rights movement and I'll tell you one of the reasons that i'm a Republican is because civil rights legislation was passed with the overwhelming support of Republicans and indeed

1:59:56 The Dixiecrats who were imposing Jim Crow, the Dixiecrats who were beating those protesters were Democrats. And that's one of the reasons I'm proud to be a member of the party of Lincoln, a member that stands for equal rights for everyone regardless of what race, what ethnicity every human being is a creation of God that our Constitution protects but nowhere in his answer did he address the fact that when you have people during the national anthem taking a knee, refusing to stand for the national anthem that you're disrespecting. the millions of veterans, the millions of soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines that risk and fight to protect our flag and liberty. And everyone has a right to protest you have a right to speak but you could speak in a way that doesn't disrespect the flag or national anthem and I'll tell ya those civil rights protesters would be astonished

2:00:52 if the protests were manifesting and burning the flag. Dr King, that's not something Dr King stood for he stood for justice without disrespecting the men and women who fight for this country. I just have to say something about that...I'm so tired of hearing this bullcrap! Trump aside, i'll get him in a second The kneeling for the flag during the anthem issue The problem is not the kneeling and all, the problem is not that the flag is for men and women who died. No! The problem is it's a militaristic reality television show

2:01:31 and the military pays for their militaristic part of it. It's war games, it's jets flying over, it's a part of the package! It's an entertainment package that you are ruining. And Trump is very street savvy in this regard by framing it as un-American, unpatriotic and causing a big stir about that and being able to point to unpatriotic behavior as uncapitalist because you're losing ratings and losing advertising money. Yeah there's all those elements Putting this aside. Yes, this thought of yours which we've discussed a lot I just wanted to make sure people remember what yeah well you could The problem is that I have the thing that relates really what to what? I'm shutting up What Cruz did he went through it He did his debate thing and he went after the guy and he did this and either

2:02:27 Now I'm gonna play Beto's retort to what Cruz said specifically, not to the issue at all because he doesn't address the issue. He addresses this is why I think Beto was good unfortunately he's easily shooken but I think he's good at this what he does as he deconstructs what Cruz does instead of discussing the arguing with Cruz because you can't beat Cruz he'll just beat you up because he's a kind of semi-professional. Do we want to rewind? Do we want to read the last 10 seconds of Cruz so that we're back in there? Yeah, do the last ten seconds and then cut to... We go to The Master Debater and then we'll go to Bader's Retort I'm sorry for interrupting the flow i didn't realize that's what you were doing. ...constitution protects but nowhere in his answer

2:03:15 Did he address the fact that when you have people during the national anthem taking a knee, refusing to stand for the national anthem that your disrespecting? the millions of veterans, the millions of soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines that risk and fight and die to protect that flag. And to protect our liberty. To be clear everyone has a right to protest you have a right to speak but you could speak in a way that doesn't disrespect the flag that doesn't respect disrespect the national anthem. I'll tell you those civil rights protesters would be astonished if the protests were manifesting and burning the flag. Dr King, that's not something Dr King stood for he stood for justice without disrespecting the men and women who fight for this country. Okay now we go to Beto's retort. You heard Cruz' answer first of all he again tried to mislead you by taking a peaceful protest during the national anthem to burning a flag no one here myself included has suggested that anyone should be doing that he also grounded his answer in partisanship talking about

2:04:15 the GOP being better than the Democrats. Listen, I could care less about either party at this moment at this deeply divided highly polarized time in our history. This moment calls for all of us regardless a party or any other difference of race or sexual orientation how many generations you've been here whether you just got here yesterday we need to come together for this country that we love so much. Yeah Beto Butzlam! Moving on here the next question for Senator Cruz nice Beto Butzlam I thought he handled that perfectly. Instead of addressing any of Cruz's things, he deconstructed it! Yeah was very good Very good Now the other... now overall though i would say that Beto is taller He might be more imposing but he's no master debater

2:05:03 There is no master debater that we know of and he's got the He's got the lizard II thing going on which is kind of bothersome. You might be a lizard now We can play the Beto Cruz rundown, which I believe is somebody else's analysis of the whole situation It was an incredible debate. I have to say really watching it's online if you haven't seen it But I do want to you know this this is closer than expected This race has really thought Ted Cruz wouldn't have any competition. What were your main takeaways from the debate? You know, I would have three takeaways first and foremost from a technical standpoint Senator Cruz has debated countless times he was even in debate debater back in his college days and I think that really showed last night from a technical standpoint but the second point is just what a cultural political moment I mean anyone who watched that debate it that is the most perfect illustration of where we're at in our political climate in 2018 than I've ever seen

2:05:56 on made this close. And I think it was interesting to hear him talk about the issue of immigration through an economic lens, that's something that many Democrats and other parts of the country haven't done but Congressman O'Rourke sought so really make the case that the president's immigration policies aren't just he made less of a personal appeal and more of an economic policy pitch. And I thought that was interesting given the demographics of the state and the geographic location

2:06:44 Now with that in mind, I do have to play an offbeat clip. This is not talking about you know Beto didn't go on with the others they've been separating the moms from the kids and all this thing that which is a very apparently such a big issue that even shows up in Ireland and I have a Nigel Farage clip okay where he's on his LBC show and his radio show, and he's got this hysteric Irish woman who is going on about the situation with the immigrants which really began as you pointed out with a judicial

2:07:26 I guess an edict in the 90s that required the separation of the parents from the children at the border for this, whatever. For some particular reasons it's been going on throughout the entire Obama administration but everyone makes a scene about it so its all Trump's fault But listen to this is the problem that the Democrats have is the hysteria. This is Nigel versus the hysteric Irish woman. And Donald Trump, he's a dirty rat putting those little children in cages! What kind of human being does that? Someone who's related to Hitler does that?!

2:08:01 May, what he's doing is sending a message. Don't try to come to America illegally and it does look extremely tough I agree with you but may... They're doos! But don't do that to our children God forgive them That is a terrible terrible thing he's doing getting children from their mothers and putting them in cages What kind of people do that? Well the alternative May The alternative, May is to do what... May, the alternative is to do what Mrs Merkel has done and say anyone can come that wants to come. Do you see this is the great issue May? That it's dividing politics right across the West It's how we deal with our borders, it's how we deal with refugee seekers, it's how we deal with illegal immigration. And his message... Don't treat Nigel, don't treat people like that! For God sake, don't treat people like that

2:09:01 That was sad in so many ways I mean this woman believes the reporting and thinks that Donald Trump personally is ripping children away from their mothers standing there doing it jamming them into a cage oh my goodness well all right then i had a beetle clip but forget that. I'm gonna play my My clip from a black woman in Pasadena at a city council meeting who is very happy with ICE and what they are doing, and her plight is just...

2:09:40 It's it's something that you don't hear. Well, I didn't get off a mainstream media You won't see it on television Prior to that we don't know but we've never been there. Okay, that's the first thing The other thing I want you to know is that I grew up in Pasadena area and many of my best friends were Latino okay? There was a huge population But they were Chicanos and they loved blacks There was no problem the reason why i'm saying this to you And the reason why it's so important right now Is because I left to go to Texas and came back and was being harassed

2:10:30 by illegal immigrants. Not Chicanos, Mexicans they were following me they were looking at me like what are you doing in Pasadena that's how much that border had opened up what I want to say to you is that we have been forgotten blacks and Africans African Americans and the reason why i can tell you that is because they call me EEOC There was a paragraph for Latinos. There was a paragraph for Asians, nothing for blacks and I just about hit the roof. What I want to say is everyone has the right to be here. You do what you need to come legally with me." Can you actually hear this? Because it seems a little hard to hear from me at the moment. It's barely audible but it's good enough. I mean I can hear that she's irked about

2:11:24 I'm hearing this message from more than one person. Yeah, like one of many blacks saying hey What about us you yeah and and this EEOC Democrats? You haven't done anything for us. You're even trying to do something for sure making it worse Yeah And the EEOC thing is is also you know that I didn't realize African Americans no longer a part of the equal opportunity movement in California I didn't know that either. Yeah, yeah well the clip is in the show and i think people should go and listen to it there because we have to move on with more things!

2:12:09 Yeah, moving right along. So let's go over... I'm gonna do the first time to start off with this separate listing or mention of the people at the Oakland meetup that gave $100 or $50 dollars or more which is a lot of people especially the $60 from the ATM. I want to appreciate that it was great Brian Mickey in San Francisco $100 who had it doubled, Eri Kayuragi.

I don't know. Yeah, I'm pretty sure so no That's crazy What would you do if your run the coming in the government comes in yes see I support Infowars free speech man

2:21:50 I don't think it was the Infowars. Well, maybe but i know that WikiLeaks was the government that was going after him and they probably went from door to door to tell people to stop cut off their funding yeah but that was also what's his face uh from the 250 million dollar website The door Oh Madara. Yeah, PR drama car Amador yeah that guy he was in charge of it then at PayPal back in the day Now you can't on one hand say the social justice warrior fired me from PC Mag and not see the obvious connection between Omidyar and PayPal and we kill you not there now nobody was then He's not there

2:22:30 I have a very nice note to share. This is from John Overall, and you may remember him his dad passed away earlier this month and he's in Candinavia where he died and he wanted to see if they could get a color guard since he was a highly decorated naval man And so I got a very nice note from John. He says, hi Adam please read this on the show or whatever you want to. I've gotten official word from the US Navy this morning that an official honor guard will be at my dad's funeral to present colors fold the flag and play taps without no agenda and the help of this community i am not sure this would have happened it seems the navy doesn't need provide for out-of-country honors but they sure don't make it easy to locate the correct office that you need to contact

2:23:18 A big thank you to the No Agenda community is in order. Thank you, Adam for taking my request and moving it along to Agent Orange. Thanks to Agent Orange for moving it along to his contact a Brigadier General and thank you to the general who gave me his personal number and a number to call and a person to talk to so I could make this happen. And thank you to the US Navy for sending the team to honor my dad CWO Ford Gerald W overall for his service to United States. You have no idea how much this means to my mom and the rest of the family to have the honors. Karma works, cheers from John overall." Hey! We pulled it off I'm proud of the community.

Haven't seen that one yet well line bikes who I believe has an investment from... and this is not a bicycle, it's the scooters. The little... Yeah, this was too, this is a bird. Oh, it was a bird? Well, I think Lime has an investment from Alphabet so there was a lot of lobbying going on for a new law for motorized scooters

2:27:14 and it was signed into law on the 19th by Jerry Moonbeam, Jerry Brown. And they did something very interesting see one of the issues with this program Is they want a couple of things to be law and a couple of things not to be law. And I have to give props for all these companies and their uber ramrod approach, you know jam every just flood the cities with these things without asking any permission without doing no real legwork then or at least not apparent Then get everyone hooked on it The kids love it Of course older people like me white sis Males we don't have smartphones, so we can't participate in this revolution this mobility revolution

2:27:59 Yeah, yeah it's a revolution. It's a revolution! I think we had these when i was a kid...I'm surprised they don't have me put a bunch of these where you have like two by four with two roller skate heads at either end and up and a wooden box and there's some so much yes like a box yeah well um so the you know so now regulation is starting to come in but there's a lot of lobby lobbying And there's a number of things that you don't want as a mobility company. There are some laws you do want and some you don't want now the good news is that across the board but even in this new bill in California which is Assembly Bill 2989, it does say you may not operate a motorized scooter upon a sidewalk except those may be necessary to enter or leave an adjacent property so I like that

2:28:53 You may not leave a motorized scooter lying on its side on any sidewalk or park a motorized scooter on the sidewalk in any other position so that there is not an adequate path for pedestrian traffic. So those are all good, but what you do not want at anytime is a law that forces people to wear helmets I would say that's the number one problem because your usage will go down immediately. Oh yeah cause who's gonna walk around with a helmet? Exactly! Which kind of goes contra to the news reports of people being hit and dying with their heads splitting open. Another two people died this week, yeah? And you also don't want speed to be limited so here it is in California This new law this bill would permit a local authority to authorize the operation of a motorized scooter on a highway With a speed limit of up to 35 miles an hour! Oh my god

2:29:48 Yes, and then this is the tricky one. The bill does require the operator of a motorized scooter to wear a helmet only if the operator is under 18 years of age So this is beautiful because you also need to have a valid driver's license or instruction permit. They lowered that, I didn't even notice that they lowered that to instruction permit so if you're over 18 you don't need a helmet and you know you'll be able to drive up to 35 miles an hour on these things go for it take yourself out of the gene pool because that's what's gonna happen. That's what your going to do with those little wheels and it has inadequate braking at that speed oh they have a braking requirement

2:30:31 Yeah, well you'll break. You want to hear it? It's gonna stop on a dime! Oh no no do you want...you need to hear the definition of the braking requirement okay The motorized scooter-you may not operate a motorized scooter unless it is equipped with a brake that will enable the operator To make a braked wheel skid on dry level clean pavement That's the brake requirement The brake requirement Means you have to be able to skid? Yes, on dry level clean pavement. So it just locks the wheel I've never heard of something so bizarre That's pretty weird That's your braking requirement And so it just locks the wheel Yeah But that's not gonna stop ya If you're doing 35 with those little wheels You get a skid about... I don't know how many feet you're gonna go but It's not gonna be... Blow a tire If I were you I'd jump off

2:31:32 I'm just saying that's just the law. Well, good work Alphabet! You've made the world a little bit safer. So when i went to the meetup there was a bunch of these scooters flying around Oakland. Unbelievable. Well while we're on the topic because of course this is happening in Austin... I am boots on the ground in the middle of this and I have to say Tina picked me up at the airport and we were driving back into downtown I thought there were more. I thought it looks like there's more of these five deeds a damn things It just does zipping all over the place. I said, I can see it I can feel it in two weeks So I have to go out and investigate I'll find out by tomorrow We'll know if they've dropped more in here but got a note from Bill he says quick perspective I thought you might find answer interesting He's from California from Silicon Valley

2:32:20 I believe. I was back visiting Austin this past weekend, I'm an Austin native and have been living away for the past several years... ...and started chatting with several of the tech workers that have flooded the city while i was out one night They remarked to me that while they're living in paying taxes in Austin they don't see Austin as their city or as home Instead they see themselves as long-term tourists just there to have some fun for a few years then back home to California To me, that's summed up how things have changed over the last few years. The city has been flooded by a group of people who refuse to invest themselves into it and just see themselves as tourists." This is the same... so the effect will be the same as you see in a big concert on the grassy area and it's one of the big parks and when the concert's over you look back and its filled with

2:33:12 garbage and litter and half-eaten hamburgers. The place is an outrageous mess, there's Austin coming up! Yeah, that's it. If you don't care and you're in the city, ah this is great! Just throw stuff over your shoulder You know and you're right they don't have respect for the city That's a good point That's why they don't care about throwing the dockless scooters around and riding over the streets Screw you, you locals Ah, you dumb Texas hick Yeah, you dumb Texas hick Yeah yeah, that's what Californians are Wow Take it from me

2:33:50 Wow. That's a good point, that was a good observation. Yeah it's a good one. I got a note from Nathan he's a teacher and he was listening to Thursday show about the climate conversation yeah? He says ah man the climate conversation had me rolling i'm a teacher at a new high school in Washington the Vashon High School and he said it was okay for me to mention this, which is a very small politically left town. The science curriculum I was told to teach is only about carbon remember they were talking about carbon instead of carbon dioxide? Yeah so the actual science curriculum talks about carbon

2:34:31 and how it builds up in our systems. I teach biology, he says teaching kids that carbon is some kind of evil particle that we must eradicate from the atmosphere well i'm not an idiot or a pussy so i decided not to teach this away Instead I found the article that is below and will build an entire unit off of it. I just want you to know, and that you and John know that there are good people working hard in the systems that exist! I always push students to question everything and explain to them the simple truths of this country and planet." The students come alive when we have real conversation and counter ideas that are presented to them. They are not combative or angry as my years in high school grow it's very, very clear to me the issue we have in education is about 20% high schools and 80% universities. The kids are open and interested here but completely turn once they leave us. Love the show always will!

2:35:23 But it sounds like he's gonna get killed. Thanks to show up always will man this is my swan song Thank you for what you do and helping all of us stay a little more sane yeah Oh by the way, he says co2 only makes up 0.03 of our breathable air now thanks teach its way down there exactly that does bring me to another agenda 2030 clip of global warming this is Something odd is going on here three A hot and fiery start for a mission that will study the coldest places on Earth. The new NASA satellite was launched safely onto a path that takes it almost directly over the poles, its quest to determine precisely how global warming is affecting the planet's ice

2:36:10 ICESat-2, as it's known is equipped with a green laser that'll fire down on glaciers and sea ice. The faster the beamed pulses of light bounce back to the satellite the thicker the ice must be and if the heights are seen to drop over time it will indicate the ice is melting Previous observations have shown that both Antarctica and Greenland are losing mass as warm ocean water erodes their edges. And in the Arctic, the floating sea ice has lost two-thirds of its volume since the 1980s But the changes that are occurring are often quite subtle and scientists say only the most exacting measurement tools can tell us what's really happening

2:36:51 It'll be a few weeks before ICESat is ready to start work. NASA is reassuring everyone that the laser cannot itself melt the ice it's monitoring, but look up on a dark night and you might just catch a green dot passing across the sky. I'm blind! I mean come on... You're telling me? that it was what is this to once and all prove that the ice is melting or is this green laser for some other purposes perhaps not just measuring the ice and how will you be able to see the green dot unless your over Greenland wherever its measuring

2:37:30 Come on. I don't believe this is for submarine tracking or slave zapping, something like that. Somebody who knows about green lasers can probably tell us. I mean come on this is a very flimsy cover they've built up on this one looking at the ice. So I have a couple of clips I want to get out of here One is... This just kind of a media clip I want to recommend people be little more cautious if they ever do interviews with the media especially if you're male You don't want to sound like some sort of a lunatic, a wimp or some sort of screwball. Apparently there was a tornado that touched down somewhere in Canada and there's this guy that they found the interview who is very upset by this tornado because it almost took his daughter into the tornado and he was very upset about this but I found this to be one

2:38:23 One of the worst displays of masculinity ever heard on television. When it ripped her roof, my daughter she went flying off and I'm holding her hand I almost let go because she was slipping and i said if she's gonna die, im gonna die with her. Oh man... Wow! That's just like the Wizard of Oz

2:39:01 He's flying off into the tornado, really? Yeah. Sure! Yeah but no one was... nothing happened nobody died in this tornado It sounds a bit like uh leave Britney alone okay?! It made me fake! It sounded a bit fake Yes I also have it you know how i don't know why this has not caught on but this John Brennan thing Oh, did you see the note from Dudenay Muhammad? Yes. The Dudenay Muhammad told us he thinks that the guy... yeah I know we got to find some... I have his note here of a note here the snippet you had about Brennan had some interesting factoids it gives it some weight as these guys made some reliable may have some reliable sources example the use of the term shahada which is a declination of faith that takes place when someone converts

2:39:48 He says if anyone else has more info, he says let him know. Dude named Mohammed's all over it and he is our resident Muslim boots on the Muslim ground. So let us play this. This is a very interesting clip but its not about Muslims in any way but makes me think that maybe they are doing I don't know what they're up to what everyone's up to but there's Lou Dobbs second stringer over there at Fox. Lou Dobbs on the communist Comey and Brennan Last night, Congressman Gohmert was with us here and he put the spotlight on something that a lot of people didn't recall or even know about James Comey's political past. Here he is

2:40:28 I did not know until last week, I saw an article from 2003 where Comey was bragging that yeah i was a communist until I became whatever I am now. I never heard that! Comey the Communist? How about it who knew that is amazing Well we know that now That 2003 article the congressman referred to from New York Magazine in which Comey says this, quote I voted for Reagan. I'd move from communist to whatever I am now. I'm not even sure how to characterize myself politically. He's not the only member of the deep state that have an ideological turn leftward of Karl Marx former CIA director John Brennan also revealing he was once a Communist sympathizer during the Cold War for crying out loud

2:41:14 Are you kidding me? Joining us tonight, James Callstrom former assistant director of the FBI. He served almost three decades in the FBI and a captain of United States Marine Corps great to see sir I never thought when i came back from Vietnam that there'd be a communist that was head of CIA Exactly Wow Well, we didn't know that Brennan had been member of the party of this maybe the Socialist Party wasn't there something that there was some other news story I recall about That doesn't surprise me get to clearances and now he's bitching him. Oh, he doesn't have clearance anymore You know what you get one in the first place all will be revealed in the book Will be dead sadly but it will be in a book in the future There's someone listening to this show who'll be like hey, I remember John and Adam talking about that they were from the future

2:42:08 You want to play the second half of this? Sure, I like this. I never thought when i came back in Vietnam that there'd be a communist that was the head of the CIA. This boggles my mind! I grew up on uh... the FBI television show which they were pursuing communists. It was like stop FBI and then the guy would shoot boom-boom and then the FBI would go poof dead Or down, not dead. Oh he got him immediately that was the FBI show. And there's one at the head of the CIA and one... Hold on a second don't you remember during the Obama years who was course was unlike Trump was run by defense intelligence Obama being run by CIA Don't you remember there was a whole period where they started to make the Feds look like goofy losers? The FBI but I remember us talking about it the FBI was made into goofballs

2:43:02 Yeah, it was on all the TV sitcoms that your guys and all the rest of them were putting these storylines in there where the FBI is a bunch of boneheads. In fact they got to the point where they have to do a new whole series they somehow solicited or coerced I'm guessing coerced well probably with money which is easy enough Coerced Dick Wolf into creating a whole new series and he's the law-and-order guy Right right right right famous producer I'm surprised they haven't brought him up on sexual harassment charges because he obviously doesn't like women. Oh, he's still in the program you know? He's still delivering the goods So he is doing a whole series on the FBI and if you watch the trailers it's coming out in a few weeks You watch the trailers its like what are you kidding me?! It's like these guys are saving the world! Who really are alot different than the goofball era

2:43:56 Exactly, but they were pursuing communists and there is there's one at the head of the CIA And one I wonder if only a guy calling in Brennan or in the same like you know The same Dan you know that the Cub Scout den the cover during the same communist dens somewhere up and Bronx to some well It's uh III don't want to say that. I convinced of it But it could be possible that they would share a cell Now that was a pun. Yeah, you can see him sharing a cell get it communist cell yeah cell jail cell and the other guy loved this idea of a Cub Scout den of communists We have a pretty cool domain name mockingbirdlist.com which I've now and someone made a list

2:44:48 all of the journalists who are suspected, I'm very clear, suspected of maybe being part of a revamped CIA Mockingbird program and that should be right now it forwards to no agenda show but i think is going forward to the list. Good soon yeah it's good. And I want play one last clip we'll get out of here this is from the OTG files this has been... what's called? The stir shaken program Okay, I have one more clip after this and then we're good. We can leave. A virtual explosion in annoying robocalls estimated by next year half the cell phone calls you receive will come from scammers Do you trust your phone? Not at all

2:45:33 I don't ever answer it. Telephone industry programmer Alec Finischel shows us how easy it is with the right software for robocallers to swoop in You can call anyone in the world, pretending to be anyone else in the world Jim Dalton of TransNexus says that the industry has found a solution Stir Shaken its called There will be some work but not major change of telephone network Phone companies can use StirShaken to authenticate the number for every call with a digital fingerprint. Calls without that special ID may be flagged or even blocked. Problem is, StirShaken appears to be on hold!

2:46:13 The FCC tells NBC News, we believe that this industry-led effort is the fastest way and hope some companies will implement it within the year. Today an industry spokesperson tells NBC News users should see improvements by late next year but consumer advocate Maury Mahoney wants to know who will pay for it? We want the FCC to ensure that its free for consumers With consumers scammed out of more than 9 billion dollars last year alone, returning trust to the phone network is critical. Yeah so I think the key here is you know you get a verified token which I'm not too crazy about having some verified things or you know that's really me calling

2:46:57 And what happened to Pocahontas? Wasn't she supposed to stop this? Pocahontas has done nothing. She's a big phony The amount of calls I get and they do now is they call from 512 area code Yes, I have to say actually the same phenomena you don't get so much because they have a landline through Sonic and they Have one of these systems implemented which blocks probably more than 75% of these fake calls And my cell phone's always off. So I never write anything on that right now I just wanted to play this one last clip All right, and this is the one and people have seen this This is the woman is pink lady. That's Marina what's her name? She's from being hauled off code pink

2:47:39 She's a code pink woman, she was being hauled off and I'm watching this thing and they're looking at the Twitters. Oh! She said the right things, she gave a nice speech... Where was this? It was one of these think tank meetings it wasn't there. She jumped onto like the CFR stage or something? Yeah pretty much then they dragged her off but she was yelling in the screen The problem that i have with is that she was obviously miked. Oh really?! Oh my goodness. Because if you've ever heard anybody hauled off one of these things, you hear him as an echoey, hey stop it! You're killing me! She was miked and I don't think it was a shotgun mic that didn't have the characteristics of a shotgun mic. It had the characteristics of a lav. And I have at the beginning of this clip where they'd mike her up

2:48:30 You can hear in the background, and she's very clear. And they're bringing her up and I don't see anybody following her with a mic. I don't see any way that they could have this so crystal clear the whole time. She's miked! They have it going through the board and goes right on to C-SPAN. It's as phony as it comes. The world community wants to keep the Iran nuclear deal. Our allies are the Germans, the French, and British. They want to keep in this deal. The world community wants to keep the deal. Let's talk about

2:49:07 The guy's dragging her off for less audible than she is presumably they're right on top of her I want to ask Do you think these sanctions are hurting the regime or they're hurting the Iranian people? They're hurting the Iranian people. Okay, what's the source of the video? You said C-SPAN? Yeah. Huh... Now it goes, she's being dragged off and she's not at the podium. Her decibels stay the same the whole time. And she says you're actually hurting me because it wasn't in the script for her to hurt

2:49:59 Ah, good catch and I think you're right. She said you're actually hurting me. Yeah troll room catch! So they're holding her off, they're moving around and this entire 90 seconds is very clear as if it's... but who's sending this message? I think she's a sincere Code Pink person but I wonder, this whole thing is so scamish that it really bugs me. Did you play the whole thing? No, no, I got another 30 seconds. It has a nice little ending to it. We're making a case for war with Iran! How did the war with Iraq turn out?! You're doing exactly the same thing we did in the case of Iraq! We don't want another war in the Middle East! Let's see how does Iraq turn out!? How does Libya turn out??

2:50:46 people of Syria suffering. And how dare you bring up the issue of Yemen? It's the Saudi bombing that is killing most people in Yemen, so let's get real no more war peace with Iran." I tend to agree with you. It doesn't sound extremely direct as I would like it for a let's say and not a lav microphone But I presume that it's underneath her clothing so that it was it would stay on so the sound is consistent And that's really the thing her voice level is consistent throughout this whole ordeal while the people who are trying to drag her off are not. So I agree and this means that C-SPAN or the producers of this event which may very well have been an in-house event, you don't know someone is complicit and said oh Code Pink's gonna jump up here let's mic them

2:51:35 And let's give her some hair and makeup. She probably found sideways to jump in, said hey do you mind if we mic you that way your message can get through? Yeah and they get hair and makeup and they had a floor director ready to cue her yeah sounds like good catch very good catch This is a complete setup it says its fake and its just who why where we don't know any reason because nobody else would even catch this fake except this show Because we have some chops That is the phoniest thing I've ever seen and I got the biggest kick out all these people on Twitter going all worked up about Oh, look at this. What a great job as you to get her message Wardrobe had the pink t-shirt ready and everything was great Alright everybody that is our show for today and we return on Thursday Excuse me with another episode of The Best Podcast in The Universe We deconstruct the news You come for that new stay for the stories
