CHUD

00:00 No, he's lazy, he's lazy, he doesn't do it right. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah. And Sunday, April 21st, 2019, this is your award-winning Gimel Nation Media Assassination, episode 1131. This is no agenda. Contemplating a name for the new studio and broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas capital of the drone star state in the morning everybody From northern Silicon Valley where I made a very interesting observation about some train earlier today. I'm John C. DeVore Well, I'm

00:37 Waiting for your interesting train observation. Okay, listen this I think this is important So there's a train that goes from Seattle to I guess LA I'm not sure where it ends up, but it's a it's called it's the coastal and it's a big train It's like these effort same kind of configuration except when I started watching this train because it goes by on the way down south about anywhere between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. within a two hour window. And when I first started seeing this train, which is a couple of, we were paying attention to it, which was a couple of years ago, it had two observation cars, those semi dome cars that are just, there's no, you just sit in there and you can see every, it's a very nice car. They have one on this effort up to Sacramento about a year ago, the same exact train,

01:27 stopped having the two dome cars and they just had the one. And it's always been one. And I realize what it is. Nobody goes to the dome car to look and see the nice scenery that you could get from side. They're on their phones. Oh my God. Yeah, I think you're right. Of course. Of course they are. So why are they going to waste a dome car? Nobody cares. No. In fact, when I was going up to Sacramento, I sat most of the time in that car because it's kind of interesting to see what's out there, especially as the train goes on some route that's not near the highways. And you find all kinds of homeless encampments. It's very entertaining. The car was never full. Super entertaining. Well, it's entertaining to me. Well, happy Easter, Jean-Claude. Happy Easter to you. Happy Easter to everybody else. This is your Easter program.

02:23 Let's say, sorry about this Sri Lankan problem, the Easter celebrators there. Did anyone claim this yet? Do we know who's claimed these atrocities? No, I haven't heard anyone claim anything and then media, they've captured seven people. And the media refused to say who it is. I checked all the Canadian outlets, they refused to say who it is. The Sri Lankan news won't say who it is and New York Times had an article, they won't say who it is, although they hinted it was Muslims. Oh gosh, we're going through this now. Yeah. What a crappy thing to do. It was churches and hotels?

03:06 Yeah, there was a three churches and then a slew of hotels All high-end hotels were tourists tend to stay rich tourists. Hmm. Damn. Well, yeah, sorry about that Don't have much more for anyone on that coming to you from the new studio today. Yeah. Yeah, you sound good Yeah, it sounds pretty good. It's still booming. There's nothing on the walls. So Just before we started you told me you gave me a very handy pro tip. I Which is to open the door. It does help, it makes a difference. It does. I was telling Adam how I...

03:46 I think it was a CES, I don't know, 10 years ago when the digital amplifiers were first coming out and Texas Instruments was making most of the chips for them. And they also bought this very high-end digital amp company. And so they took us into this room inside one of the suites in the hotel where they were going to give us a demo of the digital amplifier technology using cheap speakers. And then modeling expensive speakers on the cheap speakers using DSP. Yeah, and doing feedback and listening to them and tuning. And so the guy was, the guy, this engineer was tuning the room.

04:29 And he'd open, to get this he'd listen and then he'd open the bathroom door. And I asked him about what he was doing, and that's where he says it lessens the bass effect, moves some of the bass out of the room, and makes the room bigger. And then he started moving the cushions from the, went into the bedroom of the suite and pulled off the mattress. And he leaned it over in some spot where he sensed there was a some sort of a standing wave or something. I have put studios together in so many hotel rooms where I've done just that with pillows and you know against the wall and I could probably do that here. I'm not facing the wall, I'm facing my back is to the wall so the it's literally bouncing off the wall I can hear it. I know you can't but I can hear it so I'll have that fixed. Egg cartons!

05:20 Egg cartons. It's not the prettiest look, egg cartons. I might go for some foam. Yeah, I think it looks cool. No, it's not cool. Get those big giant square blue ones that hold 24 hours of the program. It's anything but cool. No, that's not cool. Yeah, they look cool. You don't think so? So here's the thing. I really want to, and I can't believe I said, so here's the thing. I have to stop that. This is a lot of people are doing this in the media. So here's the thought. Pay attention to it. A lot of people are doing it. Um... Do I just... I'm thinking of just going sparse with the egg cartons or some professional alternative. Or I could just hang all kinds of memorabilia shit on the wall. Which would also work. You know, I got, uh... You know, the commemorative platinum records. I've got pictures. I've got tons of stuff. I just feel like I want to keep it... Now that's a bit much. I want to keep it completely sparse and I'm a little tired of...

06:18 MTV guy on the wall. I think you you in a room full of with egg cartons on this you know staple up all over the place would be very cool-looking even though you don't think so I think it would be so especially if there was those blue 24 egg squares those are the ones you want well that would help with a name for the studio we call it the chicken coop the chicken coop the curry the curry coop let me write this down Curry coop curry curry coop to maybe just the chicken coop because that's what it would be Hmm interesting well, I'm taking ideas. I'm open to ideas thick cork usually works, too Okay, so we moved Friday. Which was I am hurting I don't know when the last time is that you moved house. Yeah, exactly I refuse to take part in such a

07:21 My core, you know, my midriff, my back, the soles of my feet, everything hurts. It's an undertaking every single time you do it. And I think this is the last time. Tina keeps saying, I'm dying in this house! Easy, easy, we've got to get married first. Feet first! Feet first, I'm coming out of this place. We're really happy though, but oh man. And meanwhile, while the moving's going on, I'm also trying to read as much as I can of the Mueller report, volumes one and volume two. Now all 13 hits. And I'm sure you didn't take a look at it. I did, I took a look at it. Ah, what did you think? I have one of those PDFs that the guy- Yeah, the searchable PDF? He changed the PDF so it's searchable, yeah, searchable PDF. Yeah, I like that. I'm searching for this and that. I like that.

08:16 Well, before we come into any conclusions, I do have a few... let me see, I got a few... I see this was kind of the... you know, Volume 1, which is the no collusion part, there's not much discussion about that. It's all about the conduct and the what do you call it, the possible obstruction of justice. But this is what I'm hearing everyone say in the mainstream media based upon what they read in volume two. Here's Chip Todd. One item worth noting before we go to break. The Mueller report validates most, not all, but most of the reporting done by major news organizations throughout this investigation.

09:02 Many, many of the stories we were told that were fake news show up as reported in the Mueller report and confirmed by first-hand accounts. It's something worth considering the next time you hear someone use the phrase fake news so loosely. Okay, Chip Todd, we'll do that. That's MSNBC, here's CNN. And the other thing this report did is that it really corroborated a lot of the good journalism that was done. in this entire, you know, he went after all of us every single day. The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN. And when you go back and you look at this report and you look, you're like, all these stories that were fake news. Well, Mueller shows that this was actually going on. So they're all congratulating themselves over a job well done. And it is true when you read volume two, it reads a lot like many of the reports that were in the M5M.

09:54 about lying, underhanded behavior, trying to... get Mueller fired trying to have someone else do the dirty work. Actually, Trey Gowdy had an interesting comment on that. All right, so the fact that he was looking to supposedly fire Bob Mueller and later on get Jeff Sessions to essentially do the same thing, that neither happened. In the end, obviously, Mueller stayed, completed his report. Some have likened that to be obstructing justice or the process of justice. Obviously, it was a jump ball for Mueller and his team. What do you think of that?

10:34 I hope we have not gotten to the point where thinking about doing something is a crime in this country. I hope that's not where we are. Or discussing what your options are with your advisors. Well, the only thing that prevented that from happening, you know, Congressman, is that the aides didn't do it. Right? They didn't do it. Right. And he didn't fire the aide and go get an aide that would. Interesting. Calling it a thought crime. Yeah, that's the trend. And from a legal standpoint that may be correct. I've read a lot of reports and documents in the 11 years I've been doing this program, and Volume 1 was pretty lawyerly. There was lots of lawyer terms, even explanation of what collusion was in legal terms, but Volume 2, it didn't really have any legalese in it.

11:27 interviews with people, reports of what they said. And if you read, if I had read that on WikiLeaks and you just replaced Donald Trump with Hillary Clinton, I would have been, yeah, what a horrible person. But the difference between anything we've ever read about, for example, Hillary Clinton and this volume two, is it's just what people said. There's no emails, there's no paper trail. I think Trump is saving grace is that he doesn't use email. So it's one thing to have his lawyer or the White House attorney, Don McGahn say, well, it's all hearsay. Yeah, he wanted me to go fire Mueller or the first words out of his mouth were,

12:13 My god there goes my presidency. I'm fucked and it looks in you know it was did he say like that or do you say? Someone goes my presidency fucked or you know did he yell it? I mean, there's that's hard to Understand yeah, you can't really hear say Watch enough law and order all the public So There's just not evidence in there. It's what people said and that's a big difference. There's a couple other things the president does. He says our country instead of this country and he's a nationalist versus all the rest who are globalists. But not using email is probably the smartest thing he's ever done.

13:05 or ever not done. George H.W. was the same way. Yeah. CIA guy, he's not putting anything in an email because everyone can get to it. Right. And that's exactly how Uncle Don got in trouble is he had a memo. He had a memo about a meeting that he didn't tell his boss about because that was when he was a national security advisor to Bush when he was vice president. And you know that was the Iran-Contra memo. And the minute you write something down, the minute it goes into the archives and then it's a problem. Well, it depends. It's also not a problem if you do, if you when you write stuff, something down, it's always a CYA memo. Well, yes. And that is the one thing that came out of Volume 2

13:54 is the meeting in the Oval Office with Obama and Susan Rice then being advised to send an email to herself two weeks after that meeting, which was close to the handover of the presidency. And specifically in that said that Obama had apparently said, let's do it by the book. And that was a CYA. That was, you know, sending yourself an email on advice of the... I remember people used to say, this is a long, long time ago, hey, if you got a great idea and you want to trademark it, just send yourself a registered piece of mail with the idea in it.

14:38 Have you ever heard this? Oh, yeah. Does that actually work? Does that hold up? Well, it's not for trademarking. Oh, no, for patents. I'm sorry, patents, right. That works? That's valid? There is some element of it that is valid, yes. So back to the report. A couple of things that were interesting. I thought the note about Seth Rich or the piece about Seth Rich how Julian Assange basically smeared him while he was working with the Russians. The Russians, by the way, there's no actual proof of a lot of things. There was indictments, and of these indictments I don't think anyone has been, has appeared in front of a judge or a court or a jury. An indictment is just an indictment, so nothing was proven. And Donna Brazile

15:35 remembers very well what happened to the DNC server and she works for Fox News now. almost a year inside of our systems. And by the time we got to it, we were wiped out and we didn't know. But a year before that, what happened then? I wasn't chair, so I cannot speak to that effect. And also that you guys never actually handed over the server. We handed over a replica because- A replica. But it was starting- But take that aside. Forget that. Because we had to figure out, we had to figure out. And you see, that's another thing. This report goes into deep

16:15 analysis of what happened. Yeah, no it's not really, it's not really deep analysis, it's a lot of interviews with people. Here's NPR on the voting system information. Another topic the Mueller investigation looked at was the targeting of America's voting system. What did you see there? So, we really learned something new here, and it's that these agents, the report says that these agents were actually more successful than we thought at breaking into local governments. We knew that they had sent phishing emails to dozens of local election officials in Florida in an effort to try and break into their systems, but we had no indication that they were ever successful. The report says that the FBI thinks they were successful in at least one Florida county government.

17:04 We know nothing yet about which county that was, and no county in the last three years has announced that they were breached. I even talked to the head of the Supervisor of Elections Association in Florida, and he says he hasn't heard anything about a breach. So there's still a lot of details to come, but we did hear something new here. Yeah, fake news is what I'm hearing. And it's just a technicality, but I really, you know, you and I both I think despise the blatant lies that become facts such as fine people on both sides. What else do we have? There's, you know, all Mexicans are rapists and murderers. Yeah. And so I think they should at least say alleged hackers.

17:50 It's now just become a fact where it's not proven at all, certainly not for the DNC server. The Internet Research Agency, their Facebook stuff, yeah, I think that's pretty much proven. Everyone came out with enough evidence. But here we go. Voting systems hacked. No one knows anything about it in Florida. And then there's the Assange and Seth Rich issue. Over the next two months, the report says that Russian agents compromised as many as 59 different computers. They also broke into the network of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. The report also... Even saying they broke into... No, it was a phishing activity.

18:30 Hack that's they just they just used his password because he willfully gave it to them That's not exactly breaking in Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta The report also gets into how these attackers communicate with wiki leaks and how Julian Assange? falsely tried to pin these attacks on a DNC staffer and not on Russia and that caused Bill Binney to to come out of I would work once again if you do not know who Bill Binney is you have to look him up. He's one of the original whistleblowers. In fact when we were first doing this show when I was in San Francisco frequently, we would talk about the building on the AT&T building on 2nd Street all the time.

19:14 Yeah, which is go buy it. Yeah, the big windowless building that that had this basically a tap and everything at the time that was probably possible with just a tap. Everything that was on the Internet was being sucked out and piped off to some storage system. And Bill Binney, he says, no, no, no, no. There was definitely contact with Seth Rich. Guy Clevenger, he foiled information from NSA asking for any data that involved both Seth Rich and also Julian Assange. And they responded by saying, we've got 15 files, 32 pages, but they're all classified in accordance with the executive order 13526 governing classification. And therefore you can't have them. But that says that NSA has communications, records of communications between Seth Rich and Julian Assange.

20:08 I mean that's the only business that NSA is in, copying communication between people and devices. 35 pages that they won't give up under FOIA. That's a lot of pages. How come that doesn't show up in these stories? It's even worse. I saw you were being barraged on Twitter by people saying, say it wasn't Seth Reich, it was the Russians. Yeah, well the report said very specifically, and it did it in such a way that it kind of stood out if you looked it up, the Seth Rich part, that this is bullcrap, that there's Seth Rich and nothing to do with nothing.

20:45 And so I, and this, there's a bunch of trolls that are been badgering us about Seth Rich, you too. I just block immediately. You responded, I was surprised. I don't think that works, the reporting of that. They just get a new name and start over again. Yeah, I know, but I do it anyway. It was under your advice. Anyway, so. This guy comes out and I said, well, you know, if we're going to accept the report at full value, it's full, you know, there's no Russian collusion. And he goes, okay. I'm sorry. I mentioned Seth's rich. I'll never do it again. And that's what I did said no No, you have to apologize to his family. That's that's what those family. They don't know me That's what the troll always says. Are you going to apologize now? Yes, what the troll always says and I don't understand what who this troll is or what what is oh I do of course. He's from reddit. Oh

21:39 Just a reddit nut? Yeah, there's only one of them and he's three different people. Three different screen names. Okay. He should find a job or something. It's really getting old. So sadly, pretty much across the board, all news is only talking about this. What we just discussed. Oh yes, it's ruining the news cycle. There's nothing else to talk about. These guys have just got a hair up their ass and they can't get it out of their system. I think those clips you played earlier. And there's even a good one with Jeanine Pirro that Trump retweeted this morning. It's an eight minute screed and she goes on and in the screed she's bitching about this, what you're just complaining about.

22:23 And she plays a bunch of other clips, which are just as bad or worse, all saying, well, the Mueller report proves he's guilty. I mean, these guys never give up. It's unbelievable. That's all anyone's doing. I mean, Sri Lanka got about a mention Okay, here we go. And that's maybe that's why we don't know anything. They're too busy You know circle-jerking themselves. Oh, look how great we did. Let's talk about this. Let's talk about how horrible is we got to impeach It makes our job tough. It do beseech you must impeach. But it does make our job tough because we don't get less of it. I did find some things going on. Can I just stay with this one more clip? I'll stay for the two more clips. No, I only have one. Chuck Todd, who we affectionately call Chip Todd, he has a podcast.

23:18 I'm sorry, it's the Toddcast. I'm sorry. The Chip Toddcast. In fact, I want to call this the No Agenda Toddcast. I think that's much better. It's a Toddcast, baby. Sounds like you're a kid, an adenoidal kid. I'm a Toddcast. And he was, you know what happens when someone does a podcast or a talk, especially a Todd cast, they're much more relaxed. They say things they may not say in their mainstream position. Yeah, they just kind of chat away. And Todd was hanging out with a WAPO reporter. Let me see which WAPO reporter was this.

23:57 Phil Rucker and they're talking about money being raised for the 2020 election and even though there's some impressive numbers and this is really all that the mainstream is interested in because you want to highlight the candidate with millions of dollars because they're going to spend it on you, on your network. That's what that money is for. Yeah, they do it on yard signs and there's other things but a lot of the money goes towards traditional television advertising. So of course Todd checks all this and he was just amazed at how little Donald Trump has actually raised

24:35 compared to Obama around this time. Trump's money was shockingly mediocre. It was less than what Obama raised from at this point in time of his reelect, less than W. The contribution limits are higher and he's been working at it longer. And even the cash on hand total was surprisingly just on par. Is just just them burning, spending a lot of expensive days at Trump properties, which then cost the campaign a lot of money. I mean, that is it is amazing how much either money they're wasting.

25:12 And they raised some 80 million in the first two years and it's all basically gone. Yeah. They spend through that money really quickly. It looked like a big total compared to the Democratic totals because the Democratic numbers were so low. But 35 million I think is really not that much. And Trump's going to have to get to work. He's not actually done a lot of fundraising himself. Those big Mac shops owners don't like him. that's what we're hearing. They don't like him. He doesn't like to travel to these events. When he does them, they tend to be at Mar-a-Lago, right down in Florida, but he's not working the circuit the way Obama did. He would make multiple trips out west, you know, hit Seattle, Chicago, all the big cities. And Trump, he's talking about how great Obama was instead of running the country, he would do all these campaign events. That's what he's talking about. And Trump is too lazy. He doesn't like to do it. The

25:59 donors don't want to give him money. He trips out west, you know, hits Seattle, Chicago, all the big cities and Trump you just you see a laziness there in the fundraising side. Sure. Lazy! He does these huge rallies. No, he's lazy, he's lazy, he doesn't do it right. He doesn't know how to do it, it's wrong, he's lazy. Trump you just you see a laziness there in the fundraising side. Sure. And I'm sure that's gonna pick up because his campaign folks know this. I like Todd. Sure. And the fundraising side, sure. And I'm sure that's going to pick up because his campaign folks know they weirdly surprised he's lazy about fundraising because it's other people's money. He loves other people's money. That's number one. And number two, it's people pretending like I just I think we think that the dream place for Donald Trump is at a fundraiser where people are sucking up to him and handing him cash. I don't mean to be that facetious, but I mean, this is what Donald Trump lives for. Other people's people handing him money and people telling him he's great.

26:55 Well, he should do a podcast That's a podcast for you. By the way, I don't want to say too much but I hear a like a 3k, you know ground loop tone in in this Todd cast you may not hear it through the sky, but I'm hearing a Like a ground loop in the background. It's alright. It's alright. I have four clips before we go. Oh hell. Yeah. All right bang me. Oh Couple of things first of all I'm very upset about a couple of the cause most of these clips. We got some issue that I find disturbing and let's start with PBS this is Hari Sreenivasan who I thought was the most neutral of the of the people over there because they all turned very biased and

27:40 But I picked up a little usage issue here with this particular report. This is a report on Trump kvetching. Hari, PBS. President Trump continued to attack special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and obstruction of justice. Before heading out to play golf near his Mar-a-Lago estate where he is spending the weekend, Mr. Trump tweeted out a by-the-numbers video that said the investigation cost $30 million and took 675 days. And he again claimed there was no collusion and no obstruction. Yes. So the little thing there was, again, he claimed there was no collusion.

28:23 Oh, you're so right. I keep missing those. You're so good at that. He uses the word claim rather than said because claim makes it sound as though the guy's bullshitting. And so this was the most skewed I've ever heard this guy when he said this because he didn't claim anything. Mueller said there was no collusion. The report said there was no collusion. And then he makes it worse by saying he continues to claim. And so it's like he's he's swimming upstream. You know, it's just I'm trying to drown in here I'm continuing to try to not drown. It was a very very skewed I just knocked this guy down about five notches in my book and so far as biased reporting is concerned that was extremely biased It was a 23 second clip and right there boom. There's there was a common theme over the weekend about Trump going to Mar-a-Lago which

29:24 I don't even think he tweeted it, but someone tweeted, someone with a blue check mark so you know they're important, tweeted the Southern White House, which I think has been in the lexicon. And I started doing something with Twitter, because it's kind of boring, but I'll just look at what's trending, and that actually changes quite frequently. All of a sudden I see Southern White House trending. I look at it, and there's people losing their minds How dare you call it this? There is only one White House. You don't even deserve to be in that one. This is an outrage. It's the people's house. There is no such thing as a Southern White House. And you go and look at previous presidents.

30:08 We had Nixon, had the Florida White House, in fact a lot of them in Florida. I think Truman called his house in the Keys the Little White House. Yeah, they all did. There's tons of- Bush had his ranch. Yes. It was a Texas White House. Yeah. And it really, I really had to conclude that what's going on and luckily- Kenny Bunkport is another one that comes to mind. Kenny Bunkport, yes. What's really happening is it's just a group of maybe it's 20-30,000 people who are just on Twitter all the time yelling and yelling and yelling because it's not making it into the M5M. They were too preoccupied with, you know, patting themselves on the back.

30:49 And such a good job and so you can see these waves I wish I had a way to analyze it I'm sure you know with some programming you can you could turn it into a graphical wave of the outrage and then Is anyone reporting on it on television? No drops off the cliff gone. The outrage is over. We'll move on to something else and these people here's another one Another one that I caught which is Clapper. Yeah. Clapper goes on CNN and he said and he the way it was presented was as though Clapper thought it was terrible that the way it was presented in the headline you'd think that Clapper finally came to grips with reality. Oh, please. And then when you listen to Clapper there he goes again off the deep end. He's actually worse now because him and Brennan are both like worried sick that something bad's gonna happen to them.

31:40 You take on how the AG has handled this process, culminating in today. Well, to be honest, Chris, I'm a bit disappointed. I think The Attorney General clearly is trying to paint as favorable a light on the Mueller report as possible. And when you read it, it's pretty devastating. I'll tell you, though, the big thing for me, the big deal for me in this was laying out in very rich detail the magnitude and pervasiveness of the Russian interference in our election in 2016.

32:17 And personally gratifying because of the intelligence community assessment that we rendered on January 6th of 2017, briefed then President-elect Trump on about the Russian interference. But this report, we only scratched the surface. And I hope Americans will take the time to read that. You know, collusion, obstruction aside, the big deal to me is the magnitude of the Russian interference. And no one can say they didn't interfere and in fact, I think, taint the election. Taint the election. Tainted the election. Taint the election. Now, I thought it was that he was taking credit for this because he was the head of DNI.

33:02 It was like, wasn't, didn't they all including him? I'm sure we could find clips of this. all agree that the Russians did not taint the election? That's what I recall. Yeah, they all came out and said, well, yeah, the Russians tried, they tried to do this and that, but we don't think they infected anything. They had no influence, you know, except for a few stupid ads, $100,000 worth of ads on Facebook, maybe. But they went out, they all, and it was, he was one of these people. Now all of a sudden he's convinced they tainted the election? Went a few seconds before he said that in this particular report that we just played he says we're so proud of being so accurate He made a mistake he was in the in the press corps you see he's now part of the press so that's why he's Participating in the in the back padding in the a good job. Yes, I got two more short ones They're not sure but there's one other there's one other thing that I need to conclude reading volume 2

34:04 The president, I don't know if it's all presidents, doesn't really have a lot of power. There's not really a lot of stuff that he could get done. It's a lot of yelling and this and that and firing people. I do agree. But they can set the tone though and they can do other things and that's what I think they're most afraid of is that He's setting the tone, a weird postmodern tone that is going to affect politics forever. In fact, then I can be able to get him out of here. It's going to be worse every minute he's in. Paraphrasing, that's the issue. Paraphrasing Abraham Lincoln, who said, I cannot claim to be responsible for events, rather I was carried by the events themselves.

34:46 And I wonder how much power the president really has. It seems kind of on... He can veto bills, that's a big deal. That's a big one. That's the one really. That's it. So yes, okay, that's his power. He got that. Now let's go to the... This is Trump... CBS went on about his tweeting about Mueller. So they made a report out of it. This is Trump new tweets about Mueller and CBS. Before hitting the golf course at his Florida resort, President Trump took another swing at what he called the crazy Mueller report. He said some of the statements made about him are total BS and only given to make the other person look good or me to look bad. Special counsel Robert Mueller found insufficient evidence of a conspiracy with Russians in the 2016 presidential election. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I got to stop that. She's conflating two different things.

35:40 She said, she said absolute, no, she, that's, this is a lie that she's doing it wrong. She's doing it right. Insufficient evidence of a conspiracy with Russians. Let me just explain why. He found insufficient evidence of obstruction of justice. He said there was conclusively no collusion or whatever conspiracy you want to call it. And she's now just kind of, whoops, just kind of weaving the two. If you can put those two together, then you can bring the collusion issue back into play. Good or me to look bad. Special Counsel Robert Mueller found insufficient evidence of a conspiracy with Russians in the 2016 presidential election, but he did not make a ruling on obstruction. Mueller wrote, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. Mueller investigated 10 episodes for obstruction and said the evidence does point to a range of other possible personal motives animating the president's conduct.

36:40 the act was committed. The judge's ruling is not a Was this a case of corrupt intent or was this just the type of visceral reactions that we've seen from President Trump in various areas? Mueller considered President Trump's firing a former FBI Director James Comey, telling White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Mueller. McGahn refused and trying to get former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reverse his decision to recuse himself from leading the investigation. Ultimately, this report is a 400 page tale of self-inflicted wounds. I mean, it's like watching NASCAR for the crashes. Time and time again, the president commits acts that make it seem like he was guilty. OK, it took me nowhere. But this one here, I got something out of. This is the new impeachment talk.

37:39 There was more sharp reaction today to the Mueller report. Senator Mitt Romney said he was sickened by some of the president's actions detailed in the report and for the first time a major Democratic presidential candidate is calling for impeachment. Here's Nancy Cordes. The Mueller report is igniting impeachment talk on the campaign trail. Today, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren became the first major presidential candidate to say that the severity of the president's misconduct, as outlined in the report, means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings.

38:15 House freshman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez signed on to the movement too. But Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi pushed back, saying one step at a time. Like many Democrats, she views impeachment as time-consuming and politically risky. Maryland Democrat Jamie Raskin. Impeachment shouldn't be a fetish for anybody, that would be ridiculous, but it shouldn't be a taboo either. It's part of the Constitution, it is the instrument of self-defense for the people and the Congress. But first, he says, Congress needs the full report. The report is very damning. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler made good on his subpoena threat today, ordering Attorney General William Barr to release the complete and unredacted version of the report so Congress can pursue its own investigations.

39:05 I see considerable evidence of obstruction of justice, which is what Mueller said. Late this afternoon, Nadler and five other top Democrats rejected an offer to view some of the redacted material next week. They balked at Attorney General Barr's conditions, including one that would prohibit discussion of the full report, even with other committee members. It's an outrage! Now, I got a completely different view of this. He's the president's lawyer. He's not the country's lawyer. He's the president's lawyer. My take on this whole report that you just listened to is that Beto O'Rourke is out. He's been kicked out of the picture. CBS is a CIA broadcasting system. And they brought up Liz. They brought up Liz because Beto O'Rourke has been calling for impeachment for months. What exactly went wrong with Beto?

39:58 I know Mayor Pete took his thunder, I know that, but then how did he just drop off? What's he doing? He's got money, what's he doing wrong? I think what happened is when they uncovered all that punk rock era stuff and a picture of him with all this weird stuff painted on his chest. Oh, that made him unelectable, is that what they're thinking? I think it made him unacceptable to the party. Huh. And they just kicked him to the curb. And this report, because they brought the Elizabeth Warren thing up and made it very clear that she's the first. Good point. Good point. To do this, which is not true, because Beto O'Rourke, who is a serious candidate, has been doing it for months, literally months.

40:45 To make this proclamation on this show, on CBS Evening News, tells me one thing. Beto is kicked to the curb. He's done. And this finalizes it from my perspective. And I believe I've heard Mayor Pete, which is his name, by the way, because no one really wants to say Buttigieg. Just call him Mayor Pete, Mayor Pete, Mayor Pete. Yeah, Mayor Pete. Mayor Pete. I think Mayor Pete was calling for impeachment. Impeachment. Mayor impeachment. He might have, yes. It's possible. And just so everyone can stop sending us emails. Yeah, we're pretty convinced he's a spook. It's not like a big secret.

41:26 No, his background is way too spooky. Road scholar. Oh, and then he'd sign this all over the place. It's all in there. It's all in there. It's got like a checklist. A spook checklist, which is so easy to identify nowadays. We should actually put that together. And it's one of their better tries, I would say. I think the spooks have done pretty good with him. Yeah, which then of course, yeah, it's the new CIA. See the CIA, you watch, you'll have white hair. CIA stands for Catholics in Action. That's that's the joke in Washington DC. I'm pretty sure Mayor Pete is a devout Christian and so he would fit within that part of the milieu, but this is the new CIA. All right, we'll take the gay guy.

42:16 Well, let's go over my CIA material here today. Gina Haskell finally came out and did his talk at apparently one of the CIA, CIA university branches. I had no idea this was one of them, but they have a national security confab every year. And she came to speak with another ex-spook who's the COO of the University of Auburn. And so she's in there and there was one guy interrupting, but most of it was just mostly her discussing one thing or another. I did get this clip though, which I think you'd get a kick out of, which is the first clip, which is CIA spies on Americans. But we do, CIA does play a role in tracking lone wolf style attacks or attacks that may be inspiring. Hold on.

43:09 She actually said lone wolf. I have the ISO. Oh good, I'll let it play then. I'll grab the ISO. Style attacks or attacks that may be inspired by foreign terrorist ideology such as ISIS. Lone wolf. The lone wolf. She says lone wolf. How did that happen at an education level that she must have enjoyed? She's from University of Kentucky. Did she say anyways at any point? I didn't notice, maybe. By the way, I've looked that up. Anyways is okay now. She's very dull. And when you see her and you see her talk and the whole thing, you can see why she was a great undercover spy. And she's Brennan's protege.

43:55 Supposedly, yes. We understand. But she is so demure and kind of like every woman, you know, Midwesterner, you know. It's just a normal kind of a middle-aged woman. And if she was a spy, super spy, you would never figure this out just by on. And her background doesn't indicate it either. She doesn't have the right, uh, the right education or anything. She's very well hidden. I can see that. But she did. And, and she did mention that, by the way, that clip says that they spy on Americans.

44:31 So I think people should note that because they're not supposed to but they're doing it. I was so I was so obsessed with the wolf part. Maybe we should listen to that again. Okay. Hold on. I want to hear that again now. But we do, CIA does play a role in tracking lone wolf style attacks or attacks that may be inspired by foreign terrorist ideology such as ISIS. Well she's kind of skirting around. I don't have the beginning of it but this is about Americans. Okay.

45:08 Well, that's wrong. Talking about American lone wolves. You can't do that. That's the CIA's is foreboding from doing this. Well, that's what they're doing. And that's what you do is you just have GCHQ over there in the UK do the spying and then hand it off to you. This is probably the mechanism. This is what they did with Trump. It's the way to go. But here's the thing that's interesting, whether she's a protege of Brennan or not, I had no idea this was going on. This is the second clip. Women have taken over the CIA. You know, for the folks that don't know, you are the first female director of the Central Intelligence Agency. And I know the strides that we have made in the intelligence community in terms of promoting the best and the brightest.

45:58 But what would you say to young women out there about leadership in the your agency and what it is women ought to be aspiring to? Well, I think at this point in history, it is a great time to be a woman at the agency or indeed in the wider intelligence community. At the moment at CIA, setting aside my own position, the head of operations is a woman. The head of analysis is a woman the head of science and technology is a woman You might sense a conspiracy here, but Our general counsel is a woman the head of diversity and inclusion is a woman Yeah, I think yes in important roles But there have been there have been a lot of women traditionally in CIA just not in leadership roles Was that the only point they were making or?

46:59 Women in general in CIA. I think that just a lot of women but the one the diversity officer being a woman is I think I don't know how long that's been going on but I think that's how potentially Mayor Pete. Yeah I was just gonna say it's like all right. It's gotten into the situation. Yes. So there's something going on at that agency, but you know, they're working against the interests of the American public if they're going after Trump, which they seem to be doing. Of course, that was never brought up in this discussion. The thing is, the guy who was disguised, I can't remember this guy's name, but he's COO of Auburn and he was an ex-DIA, head of DIA. And he was in Trump's transition team, this guy, Bradley or Montgomery, I can't think of his name. I just have to get my notes out.

47:44 Which leads me to believe that a lot of people in Trump's transition team weren't really working for him. Not really working for him. Benefit Trump because this guy should have said something about the obviosity that the CIA and the intel community is going after Trump, or at least the leadership is. I don't know about the down below people. Mike Pompeo, who was Trump's CIA director before he became Secretary of State, was here in Texas this past week and he did a little Q&A type thing at Texas A&M. And I thought this was worth sharing. In terms of how you think about problems, when I was a cadet, what's the first, what's the cadet motto at West Point? You will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do.

48:29 I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like we had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment. We lied, we stole, we cheat, we even had courses on how to do it. Wow, that's a great clip. Thanks. Only in Texas. He's an evergreen. Only in Texas. Yeah, well Pompeo seems like kind of a boob. An oaf maybe I should use the word. I don't know, man. I think he's got a lot going on. Well, he's got his background indicates he's not an oaf, but he seems to be, seems to seem, he presents himself as one. Right. All right.

49:21 Okay, well just as an entremont because this kind of slipped through the cracks, it doesn't get the type of attention that you would expect. But of course we know who the true enemy is of the United States. That is Russia. Even though I recall Hillary Clinton trying to do a reset and you know making sure that we shared in our uranium and you know there was all kinds of friendliness but somehow they're the arch enemy. However, this just took place. On Wednesday, April 17th, an airport employee in New York pled guilty to acting as a foreign agent on behalf of the Chinese regime. She smuggled luggage onto flights for Chinese military officials. The woman named Lin Ying may face up to 10 years imprisonment. She will also forfeit $170,000 for her actions.

50:09 Lin began working with the Chinese state-run airline Air China in 2002. She became a manager in 2009. She mostly served Chinese VIPs and government employees. Both the FBI and DHS were involved in the case. FBI Assistant Director in Charge William F. Sweeney said, We believe this case isn't unique and hope it serves as an example that the Chinese and other foreign governments can't break our laws with impunity. Lin would accept luggage from officers of the Chinese Communist Party or CCP, but would mark it as unaccompanied or even check it in under another passenger's name. She also encouraged other employees to help military officers, saying their primary loyalty was to the Chinese regime.

50:51 Attorney Richard P. Donohue for the Eastern District of New York said, This case demonstrates how seriously we address counterintelligence threats posed by individuals in the United States who work for foreign governments, such as China. Lin may have her citizenship revoked if evidence is found that she lied in the process of obtaining it. Lin will be sentenced on September 10th. Now this was a rather poor read from the news person. It's from some out there called NTD, but it is the only clip I could find of what happened. This is kind of a big deal, I think. I think this is a huge deal and it's...

51:30 Well, this is an example of what you said at the beginning of the show, is that because of this Trump mania over the Mueller report, we're not getting these news stories, which is a, that is a very important story. Yeah. And I get it from NTD, a guy who's in his bathroom recording his report. It's worse than a podcast. Yeah, worse than a podcast. And actually the report went on for another two minutes with all these different cases of, you know, spying of Chinese nationals who are here legally and just spying. Yeah. And that's kind of how you do it. I mean, that's how spies work. You come in legally, you assimilate. But yeah, it's Boeing secrets, it's NASA secrets. There's a lot of this going on in Silicon Valley. I think you've mentioned it from time to time. Absolutely.

52:22 Well, that's an interesting report. There's no follow-up. Nobody else is covering it. This is terrible. Nothing. Oh, I just see I missed one clip. I have a Glenn Greenwald Oh, he's still irked. Well, this was a great... It's not so much about the content as it is... Well, it's also... The content is good. But he's asked to be on NPR and this is right after Julian Assange got arrested. Or, as you and I have intimated to each other, was it really Julian Assange? I've seen websites that show Julian Assange body doubles. Pretty uncanny. We should talk... Before we play that clip, let's discuss this.

53:00 Well, it's the beard, you know, it's the beard that threw me off. He used the beard to cover up facial features and also the chin line. You might not be able to duplicate that. So you grow a beard. When's the last time we saw him with a beard? I don't think ever. I don't think I've seen him with a beard. So he comes out and then he's carrying, the thing that triggered me was he's carrying a Gore Vidal book. Yes, and the book and he showed and it's very clear and as they're hauling him out and you he's also not standing So you can't get his height if you haven't noticed that trick. Yep So he could have been a short guy, tall guy, who knows because they're carrying him out and so you can't do an analysis of his height. And you know, no, and John, no one has done analysis of that. It's automatically assumed that he would not go and they dragged him out. Who knows what's going on? And that's the oddest thing. I've never seen someone get dragged out hogtied like that. He wasn't even hogtied. They were holding onto his legs. I don't think they were tied.

54:01 No, no, they're just hauling him out so you couldn't get a height. So explain the book. If you see some of the pictures, there's a couple of the cops that have a funny laughing look on their faces, though they know the scam is a scam of some sort. And so they're hauling him out. He's carrying this Gore Vidal book, The History of National Security, The History of National Security something. But it's a funny book that he would read. Well, now I need to know what this is. Clearly, this was a sign. Gore Vidal. Yeah, well it seemed like a signal, the book was a signal of some sort. Because why would he have the book anyway? He's hauling some guy out of there, he's got a book in his hand? Yeah, yeah, it's like, hey, hey, you've got me tied, you're dragging me out. Let me just take my book, please, I want to take my book. Yeah.

54:48 So the book is a giveaway. And so not that we're overly suspicious, but that's what we do on the show because we're looking for the scams that are going on and the poor reporting, which everybody does, so us. And so yeah, I think it says we could have been an extraction. I mean, the extract that could have been a diversion for an extraction. I mean, maybe some guy with dark hair and a mustache walked out a couple of days later or walked out the next day. Well, I was going to say there's a lot of reports of him being able to slip out, you know, dressed as a maintenance worker, or I think I'm pretty sure he was able to go in and out of the embassy.

55:31 I would hope so. And maybe he had a body double come in. It makes a lot of sense. If that was me, I know that you as my friend would get some Tourette's head-shaking guy and throw a wig on him and help me out. Yeah, I think I'd just go over to your old place in Texas and grab one of your wigs and we'd use that. Okay, unnecessary roughness on the play. Anyway, so, Gregg Greenwald, don't laugh. He has every right to be pissed at his at this introduction and just the whole thing is is

56:07 shameful by NPR for a fellow journalist and I think Greenwald did a pretty good job on this but this is true media hysteria. I want to bring in another voice here it is Julian Assange's colleague Glenn Greenwald he's on the line he's a longtime backer and proponent of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. Glenn thanks for taking the time this morning. Sure I'm not sure why you introduced me as a colleague of Julian Assange since I'm not actually that I've reported on him as a journalist but I'm happy to be with you. I, when I heard that I'm like wow what a dick. Oh he's not gonna, Greenwald's not gonna put up with that crap. Well stand by he does not. Well to tell, I would love if you could actually. Actually I think the NPR journo is just confused. He's conflating Snowden with you know stuff that might have you know done the WikiLeaks dumps and he's he actually is just poorly prepared.

57:03 I would love if you could actually, just so people understand, characterize your relationship with him and with WikiLeaks. Sure, I'm a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who has reported on... I wish I could say that. I am a podcast hall of famer who has been reporting on... And WikiLeaks over the years just like NPR has and beyond that I don't have any relationship with WikiLeaks or Julian Assange and I'm not sure why you're trying to imply otherwise. Have you been in contact with him today or leading up to this? No. And what do you think of the charges against him? well i agree with the obama justice department the washington post editorial two thousand eleven the guardian editorial from yesterday and the consensus of press freedom groups around the world which is that prosecuting julian assange in connection with publishing secret documents that showed u s war crimes is one of the greatest threat to press freedom possibly imaginable and the indictment that the d o j issued

58:03 says, among other things, that Assange, for example, encouraged Manning to get more documents than she had originally provided, which is something journalists, I don't know if you work with sources or not in your reporting, but I do. This is something journalists do every day. They say, thanks for getting me this. Is there any way you can get more of that? So to criminalize that, encouraging sources to get more classified documents is to criminalize journalism. And I would hope no journalist would stand behind the Trump administration as it tries to do that. Obviously, if Julian Assange actually... You know, I gotta tell you, I have listened to so much radio in my life. Do you hear the edits in this thing? I hear edits all the time. Did you hear this blatant one?

58:45 I didn't, I wasn't looking for edits. This has been edited to tighten it up. Yeah. Yeah. To get more classified documents is to criminalize journalism. And I would hope no journalist would stand behind the Trump administration as it tries to do that. Obviously, if Julian Assange actually hacked into a government database, that's just standard criminal hacking, but the indictment doesn't say that. The indictment says that Julian worked with Chelsea Manning and encouraged her in order to get these documents, which again, that's something journalists do all the time. We'll have to see what the evidence says. Obviously, hacking is a crime, and just because you're a journalist doesn't mean you get to do that, but encouraging a source or working with a source to get documents is pure investigative journalism. And that was the end of it. The guy let him go right away.

59:34 Poor Glenn. That guy's a douche. Who was that guy? I think he's from Here and Now on NPR. He's a very recognizable voice. Yeah, I think he's from Here and Now. I don't know what his name is, but poorly prepared. Can't they get Greenwald on a Skype line? I mean, they have good Skype connections in Brazil. Yeah. He's on like the world's worst POTS line. This I didn't think about. I was still wondering how we can get our hands on it. You should have been thinking about it because it's, you know, because it was like an interview on a phone. We need a Pulitzer.

1:00:15 What's her we're not getting one. Oh, we might get a Peabody if they get rid of a couple of the judges a Peabody Oh, what is the Peabody for Oh Peabody is for excellence Excellent in mostly in broadcasting. Oh, we should be able to get that. Oh, yeah, and has any other Podcaster want a Peabody? Yeah, not yet. We'll be perfect to be first. That's like I got the first Marconi for for podcasting They had to change the rules so they need to change the rules. No, I Well, yeah, we can start promoting it now. People out there should help us. All right. That was classic. It was actually pretty funny.

1:00:55 Let's see what else we've got. The Yellow Vest updates, I've got a PBS report that's one of the few things that showed up that was outside of the Trump derangement crap. In France today, Yellow Vest demonstrators set fires through rocks and complained about huge sums being donated to restore the Notre Dame Cathedral after Monday's devastating blaze. One protester's sign read, everything for Notre Dame, what about for us, the poor? In Paris, large portions of the metro were closed and across the country about 60,000 police were deployed on the 23rd weekend of protests against President Emmanuel Macron's economic policies. Macron was about to unveil new policies in response to the protests on Monday but cancelled when the Notre Dame fire erupted. So a couple things about that. One, I've seen reports in Europe saying that the yellow vests are, you know, they're

1:01:48 They're just not stopping this this this was a false flag. They're saying so now we're gonna burn the rest of France The thing is the backfired according to Pachinic's thesis and I think he was right on this one is that Macron's Popularity didn't change one bit with the Notre Dame incident right and it and the backfiring is this it's like hey, I Look at all the money that these rich people are going to throw at the Notre Dame roof. Exactly. And we get nothing. No, we got to pay extra tax. And we got to pay extra carbon tax to rip these same rich people. Yes, I think that was the backfire. Yeah, it probably just pissed them off more. That was the backfire. I totally agree. And it seems... Did you get the note from Sir Mark Hall?

1:02:31 About the redesign of the reconstruction. Yeah, I did about the Belgian is the Belgian artist architect. Yes, Belgium Wim Delvoye Wim Delvoye says he's going to take part in the international competition and it seems like he's already a shoe in and he wants to do the the glass and the steel I think that you were talking about in the newsletter. Yeah I put it in the newsletter, I think. This came up in a dinner conversation, actually with JC, who we're talking about the symbolism of changing the, instead of using the old plans for it. Because this thing has been changed a few times along the way, and most of these old Gothic and Renaissance churches were

1:03:15 built and kind of rebuilt and then they cave in and they do something different. They keep changing them. And then this thing I think the last time the Notre Dame burnt was in the 1600s and Victor Hugo wrote about it. And I think they probably changed some things then. And they can't get, they can't do the old roof anymore because those were, I didn't know this, but apparently those were oak, giant oak beams, which I know you can get giant redwoods still. They do not ignite quickly. No, they don't. But I know you can get giant... And Redwood doesn't catch on fire that easy either. But it's the size of the beams. You can't get those beams anymore, so they're gonna have to use something else. So that's already a modification. And so if you're gonna modify it, why don't you open up the...

1:04:03 put a glass roof or put steel beams. I mean, there's other ways you can go and still have the same appearance and still be cool, but it'd be faster. I think I think by now you've probably seen as I predicted it would come out this way and because the reports were already there now the rector rector Patrick Chauvet says well looks like it was a computer glitch that actually caused the fire his exact words but we will not know we may find out what happened in two or three months which seems much more likely than this immediate it was an accident it was a cigarette but it was you know whatever it was.

1:04:41 I heard cigarette butt. I think Chris Cuomo said that. Could it have been a cigarette butt? Cigarette butt. You know, those strange things like the smoke. This is a galois. AP is reporting it. How does a glitch cause a thing to catch on fire? Did the cap go off in one of those computers? I had a cap go off once. A capacitor blew up in one of the computers I once had. Yeah, still you got to have a pretty big fire to get the oak started. Yeah, well, just a capacitor. Yeah, so no, I doubt it was a big cap. I think maybe it's in the translation. I still think

1:05:21 that what they're going to point to eventually is that there was a relatively new system, monitored 24-7, two people in the building at all times, sensors everywhere, brand new wiring, but that it said that there was a fire in a different spot. And that's what confused the firefighters or something the wrong way. Yeah, but that doesn't help us get to what started the fire. Well, no. But isn't it great to have a theory for us all to obsess over and then not even think about what started it? Isn't that kind of how it works? And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the chicken coop, John C. Dvorak! Good morning to you, it's about time. All the ships at sea, the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, the sums in the water, all the dames and knights out there, hello. In the morning and happy Easter to the troll room, hello trolls.

1:06:14 They've been very, very gracious to grace us with their presence at noagendastream.com. Anyone can do it. Come on in. You can listen to the live stream on Sundays and Thursdays and you can troll. You can be helpful if you want, but trolling is permitted. Just troll. Also, in the morning too, there he is again, Darren O'Neill. Brought us the artwork for episode 1130. Title of that was Troll Union. No coincidence. And Darren has just been cranking him out, and this was the glitch pull-down fire alarm. It was a beautiful piece with the French flag in the background. Yeah, the French flag was a nice touch. Positioned nicely. And I'm just continuously amazed how the press accepts glitch as an answer. What happened with the system? Oh, glitch. Okay, I'll report that. Because, you know, God forbid we look into what the glitch was.

1:07:15 I don't know what to tell you. No, nothing. I mean, your complaint is, you know, A, it's falling on deaf ears. B, it's a rightful complaint that no one seems to care about at all. And it's true. These reporters are terrible. They're no good. It's true. I think any... It's true. It's true. It's true. I think any reporter who uses the word glitch in a newsroom should be fired. Should be fired, by the way. So thank you, Darren O'Neill. NoahArtGenerator.com, that's where you can view all of the art. Man, we have over... What do you think now? I think we have like 15,000, maybe even more. Let me see. How many do we have submitted so far?

1:07:59 Yeah, we have 13,000, over 13,000 pieces of art throughout the years. So happy with the artistry. So happy that everyone participates and you can do it too. That's a good part You can upload anything and it might get used for album art which really helps the program people notice that they tend to click on stuff That's new fresh and exciting could also be in the newsletter could be on t-shirts at no agenda shop.com Please check out no agenda art generator, and it's an ongoing competition. It is a friendly one It's a friend. Well, yeah, it's kind of friendly. I

1:08:36 So we had a triple witching for our donation segment. We had 420 celebrated widely. That was a donation which you had an interesting amount for and then there was also Easter of course and what was the third? Tomorrow is Earth Day! Oh Earth Day! Can't wait to share some stuff with you. Earth Day. Earth Day. It's the day that we celebrate the earth. Yes, earth. Okay, well let's start with thanking a few people and that's a celebration enough for us. Knight Leonard, $499.99, leads the way. He's from Holland and he says, keep up the excellent work, no jingles, no karma. Well thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Knight Leonard. I don't even know where in the Netherlands. I wonder where he lives. You could probably dig it up.

1:09:25 Sir Craig Porter, the Ronin, $420.69, that's 420 and 69, get it? ITM John and Adam, no jingles this time, but I'd like to request a karma shot for all those who came to the Portland meetup. Yes, there was a Portland meetup and Melancon was there. I have a quick note from him actually. Yes. He had a quick... Oh, you don't want to do that now since we're on Portland? No, Mel and Son's donation came in. Ah, okay. Thanks for telling me. I was a little worried only three people had signed up on Meetup.com, but we ended up... You should go to NoAgendaMeetings.com.

1:10:09 Meetup.com does not work. It's no agenda meetups.com don't know agenda meetups.com the reason that meetup.com doesn't work because they have all these For example if it's like a week before the event you can't sign in and there's all these things it's terrible I don't like meetup.com. I never have liked well. You know the real boss of us Mimi. She hates it. Oh Yeah, well she does hate it. Well, I hate it too. I hate it more than she does. But we need, anyway, he said we needed to, we ended up having about 20 people show up, which is not bad for just a standalone meeting. With the permission of the peerage committee, we'd like to claim Oregon local 33 for our group as Oregon was the 33rd state admitted to the United States. Very nice. I like that. That's a magic number. I didn't know this. Didn't know this about Portland. Stolen magic number.

1:11:01 I'm very happy to put these together monthly going forward. I also have another peerage committee request. As I know, I am most likely at the Viscount level, but I don't want to go through the accounting as it has been. in progress since 2012, I'd like to request an appendage to my surtile, Sir Craig Porter the Ronin. Oh, okay, we put that in there already. As I become a knight in Florida, move to Iowa, then move to Oregon, and I ride a motorcycle, so the thought of being a roving knight, technically a knight errant, but it doesn't flow off the tongue as well, and I'm not sure

1:11:45 Being a roving knight. Roving is appealing to him. Thank you for your ruling on this. You can have that. It's a quick ruling. Yes. That's off the cuff, I can do it. Finally, I passed the amateur radio general class exam, looking forward to some HF and JT65 slash FT8 DXing. Yes, FT8 or FS8 call, which is what we're all using these days. I look forward to it, Sir Craig. I just got to get my wires up here. They got some great trees. Oh, the trees are perfect. I can have an 80 meter 80 meter antenna, but I know I'd I'm probably need some help. I need some guys who have done there's guys You know, yeah they got guys with the bow and arrow and they can or the slingshot and they shoot it over the tree And I just I can just see catches on fire These are professional radio operators and 73 sister Craig 73s and he needs a he wanted a Karma, right? Didn't he ask for that? Yes karma shot

1:12:51 You've got karma. We have a Melancon jingle, don't we? I think we do. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest, Sir Dwayne Melancon. There he is. He comes in the Archduke of the Pacific Northwest. He's a Grand Duke because of some It was a long story back when it says Archduke on the spreadsheet. I know it says Archduke on there I don't know why it says that $333.33 from Tigard, Oregon wine growing area. My jingle sir Jeff

1:13:33 balanced news diet and a jobs karma, please. This is a thing. Okay, ITM gents, it's been a while. I'm not overboard, just over-obligated. Trump's tax changes haven't been good for me. I can no longer deduct much of my state income tax, so I had to write a big check to Uncle Sam, but I still feel like I need to send you some value. Keep up the great analysis. Now, do you have a note from him? I do. Yeah, you were just gonna read it a second ago. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. Yes, and hold on a second. It was regarding the meetup. That was the... He said... It's the new studios causing these glitches.

1:14:11 Do not use that word. Adam and John, I just left the Portland meetup. It was small but we made up for it in technique. Okay. There were about 13 producers there and the conversation was great. Thanks to Sir Craig Porter for putting this together and we are thinking of doing it more often, perhaps even quarterly. Ah, Craig Porter's thinking of doing it monthly. As you noticed previously, there's a high concentration of techies at these events and ours was no exception. Sir Tim, here's what the techies brought, okay? We got dudes named Ben. Sir Tim brought a stick with a picture of John on one side and a picture of Adam on the other side. Technology at work, ladies and gentlemen. You two are definitely there in spirit. This is my first meetup, I am certainly will not be my last. Karma to all producers and knights everywhere. Thank you, Sir Duane Melanthon, Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest.

1:15:03 Yes, I can't believe this was his first one. He's been around for so long. There's a lot of guys that are always going to be their first one. One of our oldest, I think he's a baron, he is a baron of Oakland. a bean has never been to one of these things. We've had a couple over here. Yeah, well and once the nuptials are behind us I can't wait to do a couple more. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe we travel around a little bit to get to them. Because if you guys are doing them, then we definitely have to show up. Once in a while. And we appreciate it. Maybe randomly so we don't even announce it. If you wake up with the blues, trying to fill your day with news, there's one thing you must remember, no agenda in the morning. For a healthy balanced news diet, try noagendashow.com. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.

1:16:02 You've got karma. Dropping down to associate executive producer, we start with E. Brett Heenan, Jr. from Geneva, Switzerland. Love your work. Your show is the only news you'll ever going to need. It was that. Well, thank you very much. Nick. Eyes. Mendy, Sir Nick Dragon of the four domains in Waterford, Michigan, to 1482. It's a birthday call of some sort. Count my donation as a vote for Easter in your poll. Okay. So that's the 82 cents. Now, yes, we did a poll, which will the second half of when we get to the second donation segment, we'll discuss and see who won Easter versus 420 versus Earth Day based on the donations. It's a straw poll. It doesn't.

1:16:57 It's reflected. We've got one vote for Easter here, so we gotta make sure to note that. Adam, if you could, please wish the smoking hot Mary Cordero a happy birthday today. She's on the list. We'll make it happen. Lastly, can I get a John's gonna get, get hums the Sunday Times. John's gonna hum the Sunday Times. That's right. And he, I don't know if you can even find that. And he's Trump, he's Trump the President, karma. Thanks guys, love the show. I highly recommend attending a Michigan local one. Meet up soon as we've been meeting long before it was cool. I was at the first of these meetings because we are number one and the designation came from me. Can you just imagine someone's like, hey, you gotta listen to this podcast. And then they hear, can I get a John's gonna hum the Sunday Times?

1:17:52 ♪ John's gonna harm the Sunday Times. ♪ He's Trump, he's Trump, the president. You've got karma. I can find anything. Baron Dirty Dick. Baron Dirty Dick bangs of DC in Arlington, Virginia. $200. Yeah, the Baron. You guys have been putting out Straight fire. I've got, I have the same. This is a PayPal, uh, weird character. Well, we've been putting out, stop putting out. Stop putting out this interesting fact. Old millennials are now referred to as zillennials. I don't think so.

1:18:46 I need some, I checked this tonight, I have older millennials and they never heard that because we do have the generation Z which is younger than millennials and so I don't think the Z would be incorporated into millennial moniker. Doesn't make sense. It's possible. You guys recently wished my two year old Archer Campbell Bangs a happy birthday and gave big brother Barrett Bangs, three years old, a call out as well for being a loyal listener on episode 1119. Welp, we created two little monsters every day. We listen every day. We listen to episode 111 I want to watch Little Mermaid again, so that's my daughter used to watch it was you don't have to tell me what is JC JC used to watch what's that does?

1:19:37 Charlotte's Web cartoon. Over and over, over and over and over. I would come into Christina's room at night and the, you know, Little Mermaid would be playing and I'd turn on, she'd be asleep, I'd turn off the VCR and she'd go, hey, turn that back on I was watching. It's just... Kids. Kids. Kids. Can't kill him. Give them everywhere. Give Archer Bangs and Barrett Bangs a big congratulations for becoming big brothers to Colton Reed Bangs. Woohoo! Got him. Spice it up however you see it. Maybe the sad party horn from your 10 year anniversary. Archer actually laughed so hard he snarfed his yogurt at your goat scream for his birthday. Here's... Okay, so who's the new human resource?

1:20:27 Yeah Colton Colton Colton, all right And that's the real reason I'm writing. Thank you for your karma over the past 24 months. My mother beat cancer. My wife and I constructed our dream house in the people's Republic of DC, which also became my official protectorate of the barony earlier this year. We also welcomed them. Our third masculine human resource on good Friday. And I got a new job turned one down to wow. After this week in a patch that will keep me. home 80% of the time as opposed to on the road 80% of my current job. Maybe it's random number theory, but that's a lot of karma to come true. Cancer, new home, new human resources, jobs. Or maybe it's because I have my sanity thanks to you two. Either way it works. Sorry for the long note, NJNK. I was wondering, did he request karma for each of those individual cases? He might have.

1:21:23 I don't know. Karma's a crazy thing. He's come and gone. He's an old Eagle Scout. Yes. He's smart. Huh. Anyway, so that concludes our list of executives. Wait, wait, wait. P.S. John, I'm cracking a 1998 Chateau Montrose Easter Sunday to celebrate Colton's birth. Is that a good wine? The 98 Montrose, let me think, as I have had most of these vintages. I would say that's going to be a spectacular product, yeah. Lovely. Fantastic. I mean Montrose was interesting because their greatest years was 89. I'm going to go into it. They're great. It's good. I can write off my Montrose. The 89 and 90, which for some unknown reason back in the day, they, Chez Panisse had this wine buyer who would be putting stuff, they'd be putting Montrose and Margot's on the wine list and they were cheap. By cheap, I mean less than a hundred dollars. And that's outrageous, especially for those two vintages.

1:22:26 And what it indicated to me, every time I see these wineries, they have a certain quality of wine, and all of a sudden it jumps through the roof as the best wine ever. Then the winery is sold like within two years. Well, that's how you want to do it. That's what they do. And they all do it, which shows you how much, how good wine can be at some of these places that normally don't care. I mean, Montrose has always been a quality product, but they didn't care this much before. The 98 is under the newer ownership and they were, I'm just getting started, I think they bought them in 95, I think. I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it was around that era. And then the 98, which I have, I vaguely remember, but the 98s...

1:23:11 are interesting Bordeaux's because they were super hyped and then they never really panned out as much as they were super hyped in the 99s in many cases were better but I'd say it's gonna be a great bottle of wine. What other podcast brings you wine information to that detail? There is only one and you need to support it. Now you can take that out there and say, you know what I got a good one. Hey, propagate the formula. Our formula is this. We go out We hit people in the mouth. So we have Earth Day on Monday and apparently, I looked at it this morning, a new video went viral and within 48 hours racked up 20 million views. Gosh, it reminds me of something. Remember that, what was that guy? Kill that guy in Africa.

1:24:18 Yes, yes, Kony, Kony 2012, Kony 2012. Thank you, which also just skyrocketed. Yeah, because these are famed. I was at a seminar once with, it was a journalism seminar and some kid was there and he talked about how the game, how he says he could do this. There's ways of creating a bot network and a rotating IP accounts that you can game YouTube and rack the numbers up to the millions. I think there's a lot of these. There must be a service that you can get.

1:24:55 I would think so. I don't know what it is, but there's a way to get like millions and millions of hits and there's a way to scam them out of money. That's why they've changed a lot of their models if they suspect this is going on. And that Kony 2012 thing, those numbers were jumping. What was the reason for it? There was no reason for it. It was bull crap. And do you remember the guy behind the organization? It was all really, I have to look into it, it was sketchy, but there were big celebrities involved. And then the kid went nuts and was running around naked, jumping on cars and some issue. A meltdown. Here's Clooney from 2012.

1:25:34 I'd like indicted war criminals to enjoy the same level of celebrity as me. That seems fair. That's our objective, is to just shine a light on it. If our goal is to get Coney's name known, the known should join us. We are targeting 20 of the most diverse and influential culture makers to speak out about Coney and make him famous. Well, this is a set model now and taking over the reins from Clooney who is under command and control of Amal and just needs to shut up and do whatever she tells him to. What'd he do recently? Came out of the woodwork for something. We just talked about it. We had a call to call Clooney. I know, I can't even remember what it was for. It was in Sudan again. No, no, no, no, no, no. It was, oh, media freedom?

1:26:27 Oh no no no, it was the luxury hotels owned by the Sultan of Brunei. Oh right, the Brunei guy. Yeah right, which was all boycott Dorsets. Right right right. So now Leonardo DiCaprio has taken over the reins and for Earth Day he has put together quite the organization. Now there are a couple of websites you need to look at but this really is coming from his Oh, there's a name for it. It's a special kind of foundation. Ugh, Tina would be kicking me in the ass if I did. It's a donor. It's like it's... Help me now.

1:27:09 I have no idea what you're talking about. You're allowed to do a new kind of structure, a new kind of foundation, a donor advised foundation. That's what it is, a donor advised foundation. Never heard of it. Yeah, it's a big deal. It's a tax thing. This is what Mark Zuckerberg did, donor advised foundation, where it's really a profit making enterprise, but you don't control anymore how it's how the money is spent or where the profits go, but you can't dictate where certain donations go to. It's a tax thing and I'll have to look it up. But it's a new thing with all the celebs and the rich people. So it's the Leonardo DiCaprio. So in other words, it's some borderline scam. I feel, well,

1:27:58 There's pluses and minuses. If the labs are doing it, it's a borderline scam. Probably. So we love the earth.org and then there's the Action Network are involved in this and my favorite the carbontax.org people and they somehow even Rock the Vote has gotten into this group And they got Lil Dicky, who you would think is, oh, it's just some kind of rapper. Well, Lil Dicky is a highly educated rapper who worked at Silverstein Goodby for many years. He's an advertising guy. But then he had this side career of being a hip hopper rapper, and he's had some success. But this has to be his most successful move to date.

1:28:41 He put together a song made for Earth Day and climate change and it's called Earth and it is a highly produced Extremely expensive, I think, just looking at what they did. Animated, a la Disney, like really, you know, animals and all the animals are celebrities. Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, Adam Levine, you know, just goes on and on. The usual suspects. Yeah, so it's almost like a Disney movie where you have the usual suspects, where you have celebrities who are the voices and they're singing.

1:29:20 A couple things about this, it starts off with a real life, although it's a set, but very, very beautifully shot and done. And you can just listen to the audio and you'll understand this as the setup for this seven minute video. Millions in California are dealing with the dangers of extreme heat and rapidly spreading wildfires. 103 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, 112 in Burbank as climate change continues to yield record temperatures. Get out of the road! Relax, dude.

1:30:02 Alright, so we hear the news report, Los Angeles is kind of on fire, the bus overheated, and the movie I was looking for is Lion King. It's like the Lion King only it's got everything's animated and I pulled So what do you recall that we were talking about people being particularly Democrat left lefties being so frustrated and angry about everything in the world that they've resorted to cussing and swearing a lot? Yes, we discussed this this phenomenon. And we've identified this we've identified it returning when they're really really off the hook. This is the problem with this video.

1:30:44 There is so much lewdness, so many f-bombs, so many... Really? Oh yeah! Oh yeah. I mean, I'm just gonna play three short clips, but the whole thing is filled with cussing and curse words and well, let's see. What do I have here? We're going to play the... Okay, here's the... some of the animal... some of the animals, animal intros. Now can you hear what he's saying? Hi, I'm back. There's a problem with this whole song is it's all auto-tuned to shit Yes to auto-tune so you can't understand a word. Well, you will understand once you get into it I'll just give you the first one. Hi. I'm a baboon. I'm something I heard it and my and my anus is and my anus is huge is what he said

1:31:36 I'm a baboon I'm like a man just less advanced and my anus is huge Hey, I'm a zebra No one knows what I do but I look pretty cool in my white or black I'm a lion cub And I'm always getting licked Meow! How's it going on the couch? I'm a marijuana plant I can get you fucked up

1:32:15 So you kind of see what's going on here the injuries a lot of cussing I don't know what the huge anus has got to do with anything Oh, but when you see the video the the the shot the animated actually zooms into the the baboons butt and then we're in his anus and then we go to the next scene. Now the thing is weird. You have to see it. Now, sounds unhinged. Now listen to this. It's, you know, women's orgasms are better than dicks. It's like a Disney animated thing. I thought it was for kids.

1:33:00 And now we'll wind it up where we take it to the conclusion. So I'd somehow meant to clip that closer. I don't want all this bullshit here. Hold Here we go. Come on, everybody. I know we're not all the same, but we're living on the same earth. Everyone who's listening has been to Earth, Ariana. We're not making music for aliens here.

1:33:49 You know what Bieber we might die I'm not gonna lie to you I mean there's so many people out there who don't think global warming is a real thing you know we gotta say this planet we're being stupid Guys everybody look into whatever the fuck Leonardo DiCaprio is always pushing because I feel like that guy knows more about the earth and how we're fucking it up than Anybody like if the aliens did come we should definitely send Leo as our guy our rep in fact The profits that come along with the streams and the sale of this song are going right into the earth. Let's raise some money for charity. Any words, Leo? This might be my favorite song ever. It's awesome. Wow. Thanks, Leo. My favorite song ever? Yeah. He produced the whole thing. Wow. Yeah. This is why, you know, this brings me back to why, you know, you shouldn't let the inmates run the asylum.

1:34:44 I mean this is where suits come in handy. It's like you can't do this. It's terrible. That's the worst thing imaginable. And how's that helping the situation? Well, I'm not sure. Well, besides getting people to sign up and to be aware, I'm just, I'm confused as to why All of this effort and all these celebrities went into this project and they just put in all kinds of, I think, inappropriate content for young children. Isn't that who they're speaking to? Isn't that the main audience? They should be trying to brainwash. That's the goal. But to do it that way just seems like it's offensive. This is an obscene production. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense why you want to do it that way.

1:35:38 And there's some triggering moments. The zebra's there and then the lion cub comes in, but what happens is the lion cub falls onto the zebra and two lions and they eat the zebra. What? They're ripping it apart. Yeah. And then the cub says, I like to get licked. They're trying to traumatize the children? Something like that. It's very bizarre. Now, it's getting a lot of attention. It's getting a lot of attention. So this is, you know, that always works. Has anyone called them out for this abomination? Well, it's Easter. There's no one working. Who's gonna call anybody out on Easter? Everything's pre-recorded, bunch of numb nuts on television. Of course not. But they're gonna get the attention they wanted. And I think they may play it like this. Well, we needed to get your attention.

1:36:31 No. And we had to resort to severe tactics. What else could you come up with? What other excuse? I think what you said would be the Curry Dvorak consulting companies, a saving approach. How do we save this mess? The Curry Dvorak crisis communications company. Crisis consulting company. I think that would be where that comes from. I think there, no if you can produce something like that you have to have your head up your ass. And so you're going to be, you're gonna be sensitive about criticism. What? We didn't mean to do that. No, you're not getting, you missed the point, you're horrible.

1:37:09 They're gonna be defensive. Really? Really? No, no, they're gonna say, you don't get it. How about that? You just don't get it. That can happen. You know why? Old white male. You don't get it. You're not hip like Lil Dicky. Even the guy's name, Lil Dicky. Alright, now I have some serious climate change news as there was an important news story coming out of James Cook University in Australia which has been problematic in the entire climate change Hoax, let's just call it what it is scam. You know, we've had multiple Australian news reports where they're very happy that some of these guys got kicked out because they just were just insane but turns out James Cook University is all in and deep and there was a lawsuit about a scientist

1:38:03 Who was fired because he did not agree with the all-in message of the Great Barrier Reef? What does the scientist study? The Great Barrier Reef. And I have to say, I've heard for several years now, it's dying, the reef is dying, it's over. And I kind of took it at face value, like, I guess it's happening. I don't know if it's climate change, but it's dying. Was that your impression? Well, I was told this. I've never really looked into it. But the message was exactly what you say. It's dead, it's dying, we're all going to die because of it. The ocean's warming up and obviously nothing... You heat up Canada, by the way, and the next thing you know, everybody's dead. Instead of them growing more stuff, getting into agriculture. I mean, if Canada heated up,

1:38:54 It would seem to me to turn Canada into the mid, our Midwest and they would prosper. But apparently not. You need carbon tax up there. And by the way, I just wanted an aside. Apparently I was off on my carbon tax analysis. Oh. And so I was, instead of a dollar per gallon, it should be more closer to 25 cents or less. Yeah, I got a note. According to one of our Burton producers. Yeah, I, yes. Okay. This is the news report barrier reef scientist Peter Ridd who won court victory against his dismissal from James Cook University in Australia. Fantastic news today for freedom of speech, as I've said here several times. Professor Peter Ridd is a great barrier reef expert who was sacked shamefully by James Cook University for questioning claims by colleagues that the reef was being destroyed by global warming.

1:39:50 He was sacked for saying things like this. We can no longer trust the scientific organisations like the Australian Institute of Marine Science, even things like the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. A lot of this stuff is coming out, which the science is coming out, not properly checked, tested or replicated. And this is a great shame because we really need to be able to trust our scientific institutions. Well, the federal court today ruled that Ryd's sacking was unlawful. Joining me is Gideon Rosin, the policy director of the Institute of Public Affairs, which has supported Rudd's fight for free speech. Gideon, thank you so much for joining me. What did the judge find exactly? Well, the judge found essentially that every action the university took against Peter, whether it be the censures, whether it be the gag orders and whether it be in fact his final sacking, were all invalid.

1:40:41 measures that shouldn't have happened because they overrode and contravene Peter's right to free speech and free intellectual expression that's contained in his EBA. So all of what Peter suffered from talking out against the climate change orthodoxy, everything that he was hit by for speaking against the so-called settled science that the reef was in danger was all found to be invalid because he was protected for free expression. So I got a I found an interview with this Peter Peter Ridd and I have a few very short clips all around 40 seconds This guy was he was a professor for 30 years He's been with the college for 30 with the university for 30 before you play this I want to mention that I'm running to a lot of experts on climate and other

1:41:25 Meteorological and we run into these guys doing the show They all say the same thing they can't say anything because they get fired they get kicked out they get This is like a more like it's beyond just a hoax. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah well And this is a good example this guy who is the expert on can't even use his own expertise because he's going against the orthodoxy. Well let's start with that question first off. A couple of years ago... Is the Great Barrier Reef dying? No, look, the reef is in fantastic shape. I often say that of all the ecosystems in the world, possibly with the exception of Antarctica, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the best preserved there is. So Peter, what would you say to

1:42:14 the naysayers and the usual suspects who would paint you as somebody who doesn't care about the environment. Well, you know, I come from an environmentalist family. Right from a very early age, you know, being in environmental organizations, I used to be president of the local branch of the Wildlife Preservation Society. I'm an environmentalist. Yeah, well that's not good enough because you weren't towing the line. And he says it clearly. He says, well, everything's great. Barrier Reef is better than ever. But, uh, What happened to him is incredible.

1:42:53 Extremely officious meetings. The administrations wouldn't talk to me, it was all done through lawyers. Stuff to my wife wasn't allowed. It was like being hunted actually. And you'd get these brown paper envelopes and your heart would race and I'd literally be sweating profusely until you'd read through yet another batch of allegations made against you. It was just a horrible time, absolutely horrible time. Reading his emails, all these crazy meetings, come here, tell us exactly what you did.

1:43:30 And meanwhile, is there any good science being performed at this James Cook University? The basic problem is that we can no longer trust the scientific organisations like the Australian Institute of Marine Science, even things like the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. A lot of this stuff is coming out, which the science is coming out, not properly checked, tested or replicated. And this is a great shame because we really need to be able to trust our scientific institutions. And the fact is I do not think we can anymore. I think that most of the scientists who are pushing out this stuff, they genuinely believe that there are problems with the reef. I just don't think they're very objective about the science they do. I think they're emotionally attached to their subject. Yeah, I think we agree with you. And then finally, what does this really result in within the universities? Well, we already alluded to it, as we have many times in the past. If you can get a person where you can

1:44:25 monitor all their communications, you can isolate them, you can then crush them psychologically. It's the old trick of any totalitarian regime. That's what they do. And this is unfortunately what's happened to universities now. They've become very authoritarian organizations that are run by the administrators rather than by academics. But this is a place of higher learning. This is a place of supposedly of open intellectual inquiry. And that's the problem. If this was a company, well they sort of own you, right? But this is a university and if these sorts of... A public institution. A public institution, public money is being used here and to use that to do these sorts of things is a disgrace to what a university should actually be. Would it be fair to say that

1:45:10 in the 21st century at our universities, the old ethic of the search for the truth at the very least has been diluted. I think that's definitely true, yeah. I mean it's in the funding as well that you've just got to go along with whatever's the flavour of the month. And what in particular attracts the most funding? I can hazard a guess but... Yeah, well you've got to say climate change at least half a dozen times in any application to have any chance at all. Currently, a Professor Ridd is learning to code. Well, I got a global warming story that CBS decided to push out. Okay. And there's a real little gotcha in here too that you might pick up on. Pollen count and global warming BS CBS. Pollen counts across the country are exploding. 30% of the country tonight is in the medium high range, the areas in

1:46:09 in red here on your screen or where it's worst. Errol Barnett reports from North Carolina. When an annual rite of spring collided with an incoming thunderstorm in North Carolina recently, the pictures looked like Armageddon or Polmageddon as photographer Jeremy Gilchrist described his drone footage showing tree pollen hovering in the atmosphere. It left a thick yellow pollen film, everything outside coated by the male flower seed. So doctor these are the culprits right now anyway. Yeah these are the bad actors you see so sort of the tallest ones there the big towering pine trees. A recent study analyzed pollen data from 17 locations across the globe and found that climate change may be making things worse. Allergist Dr. David Fitzhugh. You know as we see

A recent study analyzed pollen data from 17 locations across the globe and found that climate change may be making things worse. Allergist Dr. David Fitzhugh. You know as we see

1:46:58 climate change evolving, allergy seasons tend to start earlier, they tend to last longer and the absolute pollen counts are much higher. Last week the pollen count in North Carolina was the highest of the year at more than 3,200 grains per cubic meter of air or very high and this video from Tennessee shows just how much pollen is visible throughout the South. That's bad news for the more than 50 million Americans with seasonal allergies. So this is because of climate change that we're all having these issues? Well, I got the biggest kick out of the little thing he said near the end. And he said it in a hysterical way, hysteric way. He goes, and this is the highest it's been in the year. Hold on. And this video from Tennessee shows just how much pollen is visible throughout the South. That's bad news for the more. No, it was before that, I guess. No, it's after. More than 50 million Americans with seasonal allergies. No.

1:47:56 Well, maybe not. Well, the point is, is that at any point during a year, there's a moment when something's the highest of the year. Well, of course. So saying something, oh, it's the highest it's ever been this year. It's always going to, at some point during the year, there's always going to be a moment where it's the highest. You don't make that a big giant point. It's just the way it is. It's also a day when it's the lowest. But that doesn't mean anything if it was went from if the highest is a small amount or a big amount. Just to me, to use that phrase, it's the highest it's ever been this year. That's great. Well, I'm an expert on the topic and I must say we have, we're right in the trees in the back of the house. I have had almost zero issues and I'm thinking... Liar! No, I'm thinking again that the biggest problem is

1:48:55 Construction and downtown Austin is continuously under construction and the pollen picks up, you know, God knows what is picking up. Construction stuff. And of course whatever the drug companies throw into the air just around the timing of the advertising buy, but otherwise it's pretty good here. I'm feeling good. I'll knock on wood, but I'm feeling pretty good. You have the hepas all over the place? No, no, no, no. What do you mean no? No, I just have the, you know, we have regular HVAC system and it's a, but we have the door open, screen door opens, no problem. I have not had a problem. Huh. Yeah. And it's pollen season. Well, according to this report,

1:49:40 I should be dying. You should be having a problem. It's longer lasting. You know, the funny thing is they talk about this longer lasting. I used to be have allergies. I don't, I haven't had any problem in the last 20 years. Well, of course I don't even have a mailbox. So, you know, I have all kinds of issues. There was a report by the way, there was an interesting report came from the NOAA, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. They have 114, speaking of rural, rural temperature monitoring stations in the US since 2002 and what we've seen 2018 was 0.3 degrees Fahrenheit colder than

1:50:22 than the first two years measured in 2002. February and March 2019 combined are the coldest two-month period ever recorded in a temperature anomaly. We don't hear that. I'll send you the link. It's a very interesting... I don't believe it. That's right. Well, I've got a video I want you to see then. It's animated. Since we're doing the current study that we just did, the Earth Day, we didn't do anything on 420. I should talk a little bit about it. First of all, let's talk about, which was yesterday, let's talk about legalize it polls that CBS pointed out, which I think was kind of revealing. On the eve of 420, the day some in this country celebrate marijuana, a new CBS News poll shows 65% of Americans

1:51:15 think pot should be legal. That is up six points from last year. Compare that to 1979 when we first asked this question in a CBS News poll, only 27% favored legal marijuana. Okay. Yeah, why would that be? I almost, I almost... Brainwashing. I should have clipped it. There was a report I saw this morning that the marijuana industry is racist. It's racist against black people. Yes, and black people, they deserve to be running the industry. Because it's because of... Why? Well, the crux was because of the high cost of licensing.

1:51:59 And, hide me on, now I'm pissed, I should have clipped it. The reporter said, you know, white people, no, black people don't necessarily have friends and family they can go to and ask for tens of thousands of dollars. One of the most racist things I've ever heard. I was disgusted by the whole report, which is why I didn't clip it. But now you bring this up, like, geez. Well, but so San Francisco has this 420 celebration, which they've had for decades. Yeah. And of course, 420 is a reference to one of the schools in Marin County that always smoked pot or its kids snuck out of high school, I think, to smoke pot on April 20th and has kind of been lost in the shuffle, the origins of this 420 deal. Don't forget, it's also Hitler's birthday.

1:52:49 Oh, I didn't, yeah, I forgot. I didn't, I did forget. Now, so San Francisco has a big part of Golden Gate Park, a big part, and people, and it's fenced in. And people go there to openly smoke pot, and they've been doing this for some years, and it's been, even before it was legalized, they were doing it. Even though the crowds are nothing like they are today. There was a picture in the newsletter of last year's group, and it's like a, you know, to the horizon, bunch of guys, mostly, with a few women, you know, smoking some doobies. Hey man, do you have any more? And I just think this is like the

1:53:33 the dumbest event I can imagine. It's like a smoking, I guess, like they used to have in colleges for before a football game and everyone smoked cigars. But I just, what is the point of this? Can't you just have a few pals and go smoke some dope? Why do you have to be in Golden Gate Park with probably 10,000 people smoking pot unless you're just looking for a contact high and you don't want to smoke it at all? I don't know. It's California, John. What do you want me to say? They're weird. They're just weird. It's nothing you can say about it. Hey man, I'll tell you this, the park's got no poop, man. Yeah, except it's got tons of poop, man. No, there's no poop. Oh, the poop has gotten worse. I was reading it in your local gazette. Yeah, yeah. They're setting new records for human poop. Here it is. People are pooping more now than ever on the streets from SF Gate on the streets of San Francisco. It's because it's been determined to be free speech. Pooping?

1:54:32 Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. Look it up. Some judge says it's free speech. They got rounded some guys up for proving on the streets. Wait a minute. Now, you're kidding me. Free speech is what they think of the city government. I have to see some legal documentation of this conclusion. Alright, I'll try to dig something up. Pooping is free speech? This is fantastic. Pooping on the street is free speech. I mean, this needs to go to the Supreme Court. We already had the whole is money free speech argument. Now we have to determine if pooping is free speech.

1:55:12 Yeah, free speech. Wow. You took me by surprise there my friend. Pooping is free speech. It's too long for a title but it's in the region of what we're looking for. Yeah, that's true. Okay, back to some real news for just a second. Let's check in with our good friend Wesley Clark, General Wesley Clark, to remind ourselves of all the countries on the West Clark 7. This was information he received not long after 9-11 and which countries were going to be targeted and we've been tracking these for well for quite a while now So I came back to see him a few weeks later And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan I said are we still going to war with Iraq and he said oh, it's worse than that He said he reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. He said I just I

1:55:59 He said, I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense's office today and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years. Starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran. Okay. This report I've been holding on to for at least a week and a half just because I wanted to make sure we played it because you won't hear about it on what pathetically is called news. Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir has been overthrown and arrested after almost three decades in power. Months of demonstrations intensified when the army took the side of the protesters. Bashir is also wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Darfur. Well speaking on state TV this afternoon the defense minister Awad ibn Ulf said the army had decided to oversee a two

1:56:55 year transition period ahead of elections. for two years. The 2015 constitution has been suspended. We will put in place a state of emergency for three months and a curfew for one month. So this is not an unimportant country. But I have an overarching question. Where's Clooney? Didn't he have the satellite, his eye in the sky, and now there's a coup that has not only gone unreported in the news, but Clooney isn't all over it with his Sentinel project? Well, I don't know what the Sentinel project would have. That was really trying to keep an eye on the villages.

1:57:53 in South Sudan, I think, if I'm not mistaken. And yeah, no, this came up, we actually had a clip, a Sudan update talking about this, this overthrow of this guy. This guy is a bad actor. I mean, he should have been overthrown years ago, but they couldn't vote him out because the so-called democracies in Africa aren't really democracies. They're just You know, ways for one guy to get in power and then stay there. Did we play this, the Sudan update? I guess we did. Yeah, we did. Let me play it again. It's only 38 seconds. In Sudan, the ruling military council announced today that it will not extradite deposed leader Omar al-Bashir, but will try him at home instead. Gee, well, you was on the ball. I don't even remember. Are you sure we played that? I have a feeling we didn't play it. We may not have played it, but I did have it. That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. Well, good. And we basically had the clip about Sudan we've been sitting on for two weeks.

1:58:48 We're like the news media in that regard. Thanks, Mueller. Yeah, thanks, Mueller. We need a thanks. Get Fletcher to yell one out. I got something else. What did I get? Fletcher, yell, thanks, Mueller. That'd be good. We can use that. I got a thing. Who sent this to me? We need a Mueller shoutout. Are you fed up yet? Well, you'll be happy to know we heard from the Kremlin today about the Mueller report. Any collusion? I'm here to tell ya, you're not crazy. There's nothing new here, we're fine. Obstruction. Allegations of collusion. I'm sorry, of collusion. Any collusion? No collusion.

1:59:29 No obstruction. Any collusion? Obstruction. Put another way, the special counsel found no collusion. Obstruction. And so there's a lot of daylight between there's nothing to see here, there's nothing wrong, and there's enough of... I thought there was more Mueller in that, this Tom Stark weather. Yeah, you're right. I think your intuition is spot on. We need flesh to say MUELLER! Mueller? He's gotta be Mueller. He's gotta be Mueller. Yeah, we better. Not Mueller. I'm thinking maybe we already have this. I don't think so. Maybe. But play the CBS. Here's the CBS weekend. And this is the latest. This was from yesterday. And this is their latest thoughts on the impeachment thing. And it essentially is our basic thesis of calling for impeachment, but really never executing and doing this instead. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is the first major presidential candidate to mention impeaching Mr. Trump.

2:00:29 But other 2020 hopefuls say there's a better option. If we really want to send Trumpism into the history books, the best thing we can do is defeat it decisively at the ballot box in 2020. On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning to hold a conference call with Democrats to go over the findings in the Mueller report, what she calls a grave matter. David Pelosi says they will also talk about, quote, the next steps that must be taken. Well, Pelosi's concern, as you had in that when she did her 2006, by the way, it was not. Yeah, it was 13 years, not 23. 13 years ago. I was wrong. She did her interview and she talked about this because they were trying to impeach Bush, which I didn't really realize until I listened to that whole interview in much the same way they're doing here. The Democrats are and she says it's just going to harm the party.

2:01:23 Because you just like you can't do this. You can't just impeach some guy because you don't like him, which is what's going on. If you don't like somebody, I mean, it's just like, I'm gonna get back to my wine stories. If you're at a restaurant and you refuse and you send a bottle back, you can't send it back and expect to get a new bottle for free just because you don't like it. You can only send a bottle back if it's damaged. Right. Or corked. Or it's bubbling or... It stinks to high heaven. It smells like dog poop, things like that. You can send the bottle back and they take the bottle and get you another bottle. But you can't say, well, you know, I don't like this wine. Well, you can't, that's no good. And that's what they're doing. And the public, I think, doesn't like it. I think the Democrats are hurting their public.

2:02:15 chances in 2020 to an extreme with this this mania. Well they're bringing out the big guns for this and I think it's very similar to climate change. I think we'll see something very similar with vaccinations as well. We're going to have the anti-vaxxers. This is picking up a lot of steam. You know, now you can't crowdfund, go fund me if you, I guess if you even say that you are skeptical. Now it's defunding, deplatforming going on everywhere. But the mind control, and I believe this may be a big mistake, the mind control which was set into motion

2:02:57 in the 70s on the American public, but I would say the world at large because I watched this show when I was growing up in the Netherlands. It had subtitles. In fact, Meathead was known as Meatball, translated to Dutch, Gehoogte Bal, instead of Meathead, would be Gehoogte Hoofd, all in the family. They're going to reboot it. And every time someone says this I always like to comment, it's been rebooted, it's called Family Guy. It's the same show. And so just to explain a no agenda theory for those who haven't heard it, the character Lewis Carroll played, Archie Bunker, was at the time

2:03:43 And John, you can attest to it more than I can, because I think you at one point said it was very much like your dad. But that was what a Democrat was like, except... A Democrat, the working class in the United States during that Archie Bunker era, working man. bitching and moaning about one thing or another. They were always Democrats. There was no way a guy like that would have been a Republican. That's just a blatant lie. And it was the Republicans were all the kind of they were always considered and thought of as the kind of the white collar guy, skinny,

2:04:18 you know, maybe a pocket protector, you know, business guy, guy who owned the local stores. He wasn't a working guy. The working guys were all Democrats. They're all union guys. And Archie Bunker was one of them. He was a, he would be a Democrat by any standards whatsoever. But because- I'm sorry, Carol O'Connor, not Lewis Carroll. Carol O'Connor. Yeah, Carol O'Connor. Lewis Carroll is the writer. Yes. Anyway. Because the Lear folks, Lear Foundation, so they were Democrats and union members themselves, but they couldn't bring themselves to ridiculing his fellow Democrats. So they made him a Republican just arbitrarily. It's bull crap. Here's the report. Some of you may remember the hit sitcoms All in the Family, The Jeffersons. Well, ABC has announced that they are airing a live classic

2:05:11 You cannot laugh at the character you're playing. You cannot be aware that he's funny as an actor. You have to play him intensely and you have to play him fiercely and angrily and that's what makes him funny. Now I realize this may just be a one-off I guess maybe so

2:06:00 Live they're gonna do a live version. Yeah, it's gonna be a one-off this live. This is what I think was it I think it's NBC has done a bunch of these live shows cuz they're not a Revive live television. It's ABC has been doing that. No, I know I'm saying NBC's. Oh, they're doing as well. I believe it's NBC has done these Broadway plays live and It's just got traction and so people like that. I think I pretty sure was ABC. I that did the live Broadway stuff? Yeah, and they did Jesus Christ Superstar. Yeah, it was ABC, and it could be. Well, Disney, you know, is a little more show business than any of the other two networks, so they would be that way. It'll be interesting to see how that works. Oh, it's gonna be a... I think the guy's right. It's gonna be an insulting to the public bust. You know, last night, without knowing how long the movie... I would stop.

2:06:57 Let's take some notes. I'll bet you they're going to talk about global warming. Oh boy. I mean, it's not really hard to figure out what they're going to do. They're going to have global warming, maybe vaccinations. Just the things you named a minute ago. Yeah, probably. What else? Trump is an idiot. Yeah, well, yeah, and yeah, no, yeah bunkers gonna have to be a huge Trump fan. Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can already we can write it ourselves. In fact, let's let's do our own little performance two days before Well, I was I was gonna follow up that last night till we're done with everything. I've you know, I've been moving prepping all this stuff and

2:07:41 like it's like nine o'clock so let's just watch a movie and Black Klansman is premiering on HBO not knowing this is an 18-hour movie and and we're watching it so we didn't get through the whole thing but twice before we stopped and had to go to bed it was so obviously written with Trump hate the first it was Yeah, that racist thinks that all rapists and murderers and it was completely the Trump rhythm of what Mexicans are. And then later, he's talking to, I forget who's talking to each other, talking about, oh man, this racist, really this racist stuff? Yeah, yeah, I predict one day, one day in the future, it could happen, there would be a racist in the White House. And it was so obvious.

2:08:34 I mean, jeez, it's a historical piece and they tie all of that history into Trump. It was Spike Lee, man. I don't know. I found it disturbing. Yeah, well I haven't seen the movie. Uh, not that you mentioned it makes nothing but sense what you said. Yeah, you'll you'll you definitely have to watch it. I'm gonna finish it tonight or tomorrow night. It's beautifully done and it's points, you know, long, long in the tooth. But it's just like, oh man, just get over yourself already. No, that's never gonna happen. Anyway, looking forward to the live reboot of All in the Family. We do have a few people to thank for show 1131. Starting with Sophia Pandalaya, I'm guessing. $150. She's in San Jose.

2:09:41 She said she just completed an exhausting job hunting process which culminated in a fantastic offer at a great company. I wanted to share the job and thank you guys for helping me keep my sanity. Thank you. Thank you very much. And she put some more job cover for her at the end. Night of the Vector Realm, 1-11-11. Any funny jingle at the end would be good for him. Philip Veenstra, 10180. And now we go into the competition. Yes, explain the parameters. We had three things you could vote for. Earth Day, which was a vote of $84. Yeah. Easter, which is a vote of $82. These are the number four times the date, which one of our producers suggested for 420 day, which is $80. So 420 should win because it's not only the cheapest of the votes,

2:10:35 But more with our audience we've suspected is the most popular now. We already got one vote for Easter So we're gonna put to put one plus one on there, okay? So we start off with sir Brian the miserable IT guy who votes for Earth Day. Oh I got a video for you, and he that's it. That's our one vote for Earth Day We says it was the biggest and Earth Day is the underdog that's true. Oh It is true, it is the underdog. We expect it to be the underdog. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it got no votes. Well that's it, it was one. No, we had two. So one plus one, two. Two votes for Earth Day, the underdog. No, no, no, the other vote is for Easter. Oh, I'm sorry, one for Earth Day. Yeah. See, fuck the Earth.

2:11:24 Yeah, one. Okay, here we go on to Easter. Okay. So we start with Daniel Lind in Humboldt, Texas, $82. Larry Hay, John Grumling, Todd Beeson, happy Easter he says. Sir Benjamin Ritgers in Boone, Iowa. Sir Bernie Atima in Hinton, Iowa. Sir Chris James, parts unknown. And last is Sir Malinowski. I count eight. Okay, that's eight plus one? No, eight total. Okay, eight. Okay, eight. Okay, that's eight. One to eight so far. Okay, here we go. Now we're going to the 80. Now, I'm not sure how to deal with these. Somebody, a couple guys came with boob donations. In fact... No, a boob does not count.

2:12:17 Let's see what they say. No, no, no, no, no. No, if they say it, I'm going to give them the credit for it. No, because Tyler Fox says, if I count Tyler Fox chiming in to say boobs should win over weed, religion and virtue signaling day. I mean, Earth Day. Okay, boobs, there'd be a separate category. We're going to count their votes as boobs. I think boobs beats the earth. Well, boobs beats the earth. We've got Paul Tytel in Toronto. 8008, Lee in Omaha, Nebraska, 8008, Tyler Fox in Austin up the street from you, Kevin McLaughlin in Locust, North Carolina, Jeffrey Steckroth, also boob, 8008, Sir Herb Lamb comes in and says, happy Easter, or he's just says best, happy Easter comes from dirtbag, okay. So that's six. So that's six boobs. Six boobs. Six boobs. Six boobs. That's a lot of boobs.

2:13:15 Okay, now we got Easter. Oh no, this is 420 day. Even though, Sir Dirtbag Dave comes in at 80. It says Happy Easter, but he just gave me 80, because that's one. David Nixon, Anthony Fields, Sir William Durkin, who also has a knighting coming up where the C stands for Cadence Catcher. Here's my guess. I'm glad somebody paid attention to that. This donation takes me to Baronet. Okay, we got him marked down. And he says, before my title change I must confess, Podfather, I have sinned. I was accidentally double knighted. When I've asked for karma since this error, it's only received bad karma. Oh boy. I wanted meatballs and Manhattans at my knighting, but there must have been an error in the back office because Adam never included them. Could this be the source of my bad luck? What can we do to correct this problem? Knight him a third time. Okay, done.

2:14:10 One item, sure. Yeah, drop the meatballs in there. Alright, it's meatballs and, what was it, Manhattan. Alright. So I count five weed. One, two, three, four, five, yeah. Five. The last one is Travis Blevins in Portland, Oregon donated 80 bucks for the 420 donation in celebration of the Portland meetup. Now, okay, so five. to six, which got the boobs got the boobs beat it. The boobs beat 420. Yes, the boobs beat 420. But the over the earth wins. Earth is completely unimportant. Easter wins. So there's your wins. Easter wins. Congratulations. Me too. It says a lot about our audience. I appreciate that. They're saying also, you know, our audience, our producers are off I see on the on the people who hate us boards. They call us chuds.

2:15:07 Chuds. Yeah, it's a Christian homeschooled uneducated dummies. You never heard this? The chud? No, I like it. You got to do it all uppercase. Chud. And I saw this one. Chud. What the hell is chud? Christian homeschooled uneducated dummy. Okay. In fact, I think that's our title right there. Chud. I wrote it down. I was just thinking the same thing. It's too good. It should be chud or chuds. Was this a movie? I'm looking at the troll room. The troll room says it was a bad Roger Corman movie. Oh, there's no such thing as a bad Roger Corman movie. I don't even know what we're talking about. Either that or you're being redundant. There you go. Sir, let's continue with Sir Brian Coffman. Congratulations Easter. Yeah, congratulations Easter. Sir Brian Coffman, which is today. Sir Brian Coffman, $75.75 in Scottsdale. Rick, $59.

2:18:44 Maybe it was your late birthday wish. Maybe. Wishful thinking, 50. Sir Andrew Gussick and last but not least George Wuchet in Universal City, Texas, 50. I want to thank all these folks for producing show 1131 and it keeps things going. Thanks. Yes, and it's your program so you are producing and this is how it works and thank you. We appreciate it. Certainly for this Easter. We have a couple of meetups that I'd like to reiterate. April 27th we have the Zurich, Switzerland meetup. May 2nd, Seattle, Washington. May 4th, Baltimore, Maryland. May 18th, Cincinnati, Ohio. The 25th of May is Eastern North Carolina and the 25th also is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

2:19:36 And we talked about the Portland meetup. This is from Alyssa from the Atlanta meetup, which was the same day as the Portland meetup. In the morning, John and Adam, we had the Atlanta meetup today. It was super successful. We had about 27 people show up, some from North Carolina, even one from Tennessee. Wait, was that Coble? Probably. It was a blast. We decided to call ourselves Atlanta Local 404, which I think is approved. John, what do you think? Yeah, I like it. 404 error message sounds good. Yes, I like it. Even the Archduke Sir Herb Lamb himself was there, attached a picture of most of us including your heads on sticks and a red book we wrote our emails on. And some good-looking women at the Atlanta group. And time codes. Yes, actually all around a pretty group.

2:20:30 Thank you for your courage for a great show bringing people together. It was a great event Alyssa also Adam I remember on one show a while back you said you'd be interested in coming to an Atlanta meetup Let me know if there's a date if you want to come out no pressure, of course. Yeah Definitely. We want to do a lot more meetups and the fact that we get this struck that we're getting this structure in place I think is very encouraging not just for the program but for you as humans, you know, I You go to Holland about once every year, maybe once every two years, but you go. Most of the flights...

2:21:08 Go out of Atlanta if I'm not mistaken. Go through with, well I've stopped doing that because I've gotten screwed too many times. But yeah, you can definitely fly from Atlanta to Amsterdam and that would, so the idea would be go to Atlanta a day early, do a meet up and then fly to the Netherlands the next day. I think that's a valid point. Or on the way back. Yeah, I think it'd be, nah, the way back you're tired by the time you land in Atlanta. Okay It's just a point of order. That's all yes. We look forward to that and thank you again everybody We need some jobs karma and goat karma for those who requested it and please remember to support the program We'll have another episode on Thursday vorac org slash and Jobs jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs karma

2:22:07 And today is the 21st of April, 2019. Here's a look at our birthdays on the list. We have Lee in Omaha. He turns 42 on the 23rd, getting it in nice and early. Jane Owsley says happy birthday to her smoking hot hubby, Brett Owsley. He turns 49 today. Congratulations. Sir Benjamin Ritger's 43 tomorrow. And Sir Nick says happy birthday to his smoking hot Mary Cordero. We couldn't agree more happy birthday for everybody here at the best podcast in the universe Now we have a kind of combo Combo title change, but we're going to take this opportunity to try and rectify the karma for sir William Durkin so John once you

2:22:55 Yeah, you get this is the third time a night. All right for the third time William Durkin, please step forward you have a seat at the roundtable. We're not going to make an official spot as baronet and We are very proud to pronounce the KV for the third time sir William Durkin now baronet of the no agenda roundtable for you we have Well, look we have meatballs of Manhattan's we got I don't have to tell you to go to noagendanation.com slash rings because you already are a knight. Let us know if the karma

2:23:49 correct if you if you receive a karma correction hopefully. All right I got a couple clips here. Yeah I got a couple things. How about this one? Egypt election now makes you wonder. Egyptians went to the polls today to vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to hold power until 2030. Another amendment on the ballot would broaden the military's power, a move that critics see as a step toward authoritarian rule. El-Sisi's government has arrested thousands in recent years and has rolled back freedoms won in the 2011 pro-democracy Arab Spring uprising. Voting is scheduled to continue through Monday. So much for that.

2:24:35 All right, let me try this on you. Porgy and Bess, the Gershwin masterpiece is a love story set in a fictional poor black neighborhood in the American South. In this song, Porgy declares his love for Bess, who's being shunned by the rest of the community. When the opera premiered in 1935, it was groundbreaking because it was written for and performed by an all-black cast. And in fact, the Gershwin estate requires that all performances of Porgy and Bess star all-black singers. Now enter the Hungarian State Opera, which is reviving Porgy and Bess for a limited run this week. The opera's general director is a guy named Sylvester Okavac.

2:25:21 an ally of Hungary's far-right anti-immigrant Prime Minister Viktor Orban. What could possibly go wrong? Well, for one, Okavac hired a white cast, and then to get around the casting stipulation, he asked the performers to sign an affidavit saying they self-identify as African American. And more than half the cast signed. Where'd it go? Austria. You know, if you're going to play this self-identifying bull crap, you might as well do it right. You might as well go all the way. I think that the woman who courses the postmodern example is that Dolan woman who was being black. She wore makeup. She wore blackface essentially. Yes. Yes. Self-identified as black. She was president of the NAACP chapter, wasn't she? Yeah.

2:26:10 I'm cool with that. I think this I just think that's very funny. Well, here's one for you I've just picked up a couple of random clips. That's by the way. That's a winner Gretna Fire and Rescue rushes to help a 59-year-old man with a racing heart at work. He does not have a history of heart problems. The squad has a 20-minute drive ahead to the emergency room. At one point, the patient's heart rate is 200 beats per minute. During the seven-mile ride from 140th and I-80 to Lakeside Hospital, something happened that isn't covered in the treatment plan.

During the seven-mile ride from 140th and I-80 to Lakeside Hospital, something happened that isn't covered in the treatment plan.

2:26:51 Potholes. The driver apparently hit a monster-sized one because medics told the hospital, as relayed by Omaha scanner on Twitter, the jolt of the pothole converted the patient's racing heart to normal rhythms. It's rare, but it's a well-described phenomenon. One way to treat that is with an electrical shock. Classically, you'll see on television, the paddle's clear and the big jolt. Turns out you can do that with a pothole. Just so you know, John, in case you have a fib or something like that, just get in the car. Just take a short drive down to 80. Yeah, you don't, you might have to go quarter mile and you're already good. You'll probably be fixed. Oh yeah, it won't take even that long. The road down here, Jacuzzi has got potholes all over the place. In a similar medical topic,

2:27:40 I've always been quite fascinated by Adderall and Vyvanse and how this is treating ADHD or even other forms of youthful... Yeah, by firing kids with amphetamines. Yes, for some reason the amphetamine works and they certainly get better grades. I've seen fabulous grades from this ADD and ADHD medication. But it doesn't work for everybody. Sadly and then you know kids need help Luckily there's help right around the corner The FDA has approved the first medical device designed to treat children with ADHD. It's about the size of a cell phone and it sends a low-level electrical pulse to the brain through a patch placed on the child's forehead. In clinical trials, it took about four weeks for the results to kick in and children showed statistically significant improvement. The FDA says that the device should only be used on children who are not being treated with medication. Isn't that special?

2:28:44 Hey kid, let me fix your ADHD! Now you can just tase your kid. I hope the patch on the forehead is decorative. I mean, electroshock, it just seems so outdated. A prediction, the lobotomy is going to make a comeback. At this point, we can just predict this stuff. I agree. Let's play this, since we need to know this is very important since we're talking about health issues. There's a flu season going on, continuing, of course. The flu season is still going at 21 weeks and counting. That makes it the longest since the government started tracking this more than a decade ago. A new strain that emerged in February started causing more illnesses. The CDC estimates there have been up to 57,000 flu-related deaths this season.

2:29:42 So 57,000 dead. Flu related deaths. Yeah, related. Yeah, which means pneumonia typically. Pneumonia usually. But I wonder if the new strain is covered in the vaccine. They never really make that clear. It could be just another strain. We had that happen in California. I think it was during our show era, which is probably about six years ago. They had a flu, everyone got shot and then there was some flu called California flu. Showed up at the end of the season and everyone got sick all the people that had this shot, right? Right, right. So that was a somewhat different people on hand people and a couple of clips of the elites of the world

2:30:26 I probably should start with this one. Victoria Kagan-Noodleman. That's right, Vicky Noodleman. She went, uh... where did she go again? She was at a big think tank and then she left after a year and all of a sudden she was just off the radar but she's back! We are thrilled that Toria is back, said Jim O'Brien. Vice chair and European practice lead of the Albright Stonebridge group. She's going in big time This is the Madeline Albright exit strategy. This is this is a big international group. This is no joke It's paid a fortune. This is yeah, this is serious stuff. Let me see. What is she gonna be doing? Well, I guess she's gonna be at the Europe practice. What the hell? Why would she be there? Well, I think I overthrow the Europe. Oh

2:31:28 What she does, she says F to E U. Yes, I was just gonna... So she's an expert. I was just gonna say we should probably remind everybody who she is. The Clintons are still on their listening tour, which I think is poorly attended. Although I have no actual attendance records. This went around on the social media. Some guy got so bored with listening to the Clintons talking that he had his own questions that he shouted from right on the side of the stage because he did it on his cell phone. And, uh... Bill, this is boring. Why don't you talk about Jeffrey Epstein? I want to know about you and Jeffrey Epstein. Talk about... No, no, you! Jeffrey Epstein flying on the Lolita Express. Lolita Express, you pedo.

2:32:28 Oh, wow. Yeah. I can't, we need to know more about that. We need to about Trump on the pedo express. We need to, we're going to find out nothing. We need to know about the lawyer Dershowitz. I know we're not going to find out. We need to find out this. We need to, we're going to find out, find out nothing. Yeah, you're right. I got it. This is kind of interesting cause this opens the gates to all kinds of hell. Okay. This is the EPA getting sued for good reason. A federal judge in Flint, Michigan has ruled that residents there can sue the Environmental Protection Agency for contamination of the city's water supply that began in 2014 and continued for years. In her ruling on Thursday, Judge Linda Parker said EPA employees knew lead was leaching from old pipes

2:33:16 and knew that Michigan regulators were misleading residents. Nearly 5,000 residents joined suits against the federal government, alleging EPA officials and employees, quote, negligently responded to the water crisis. The federal government tried to have the cases dismissed. This is a big deal. How so? Well, because they start suing the EPA over some of these local things like that. for having knowledge and then refusing to do anything about it because they were preoccupied with global warming and care about the water issues. It's gonna change the way the agency acts. But how is the EPA directly responsible versus states themselves? Negligence.

2:34:04 They, if they hadn't known anything about it, it would be different. But apparently they, there's evidence that they knew about it and didn't do anything. They have, they have jurisdiction over the state and regional agencies. And the state, you know, they are in the case around here we have the Air Resources Board in Sacramento and then we have the local agencies and the EPA. And the EPA is really the supreme court. Well that's your old stomping grounds isn't it? Didn't you vote for the California EPA? Absolutely. What I learned is that every layer you go up they're dumber.

2:34:39 Very strange. Okay, so you're uniquely qualified to tell me what the next step would be with this if the EPA knew about this and did nothing and withheld it? Well, the next step is they're going to get sued for like a billion dollars. It's kind of damage as we're talking about. It's going to be a nightmare and it's all on Obama's head. It's his boys. It's that woman, that crazy Irish woman that was running the place and more preoccupied with global warming. That's right. Who? Is it from Obama's days? Yeah. That's when the poisoning took place. Who was that again? What was her name? McCartney or something. McCarthy. I think her name was McCartney. Yes. Wasn't she the... She had the really heavy Boston accent? Yeah. Yeah.

2:35:30 Yes, here we go. Gina McCarthy, here we go. What steps should we be taking? I'm joined by the nation's administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, Gina McCarthy. Very good to have you with us. First of all, the key points of this report, as far as you're concerned, as far as science is concerned, they're not disputable, correct? That's correct. This is a clear indication that we're already today facing the impacts from climate. It's not just about future projections anymore. You're right. Let's imagine for a moment. You're right. She was obsessed. Now I remember she was obsessed with climate change and was doing nothing else but climate change. Yeah. This is, what else do we have here?

2:36:16 common sense. As we continue our efforts to address improved air quality, we must also, as the president has made clear, take steps to address climate change. Every single clip we have of her. Every clip of her will be about climate change. He's like, yeah, air is important, but... Being poisoned in Detroit. Climate change! It's amazing when you just play some stuff that we've played in the past. Let me see when that clip was originally. That's in 2013. Yeah, it's... Gosh, we've been doing this a long time. Okay, let's do one more and then we'll do our nice Easter end of show mixes. We have some good ones from... Oh, we have The Fletcher with Carolyn Blaney, Sir Chris Wilson, Cyborg Dave and Tom Starkweather. We've got a promo from Horowitz.

2:37:15 Of course, in a promo. Okay, we got some some diddy here from Dominique Sweeney and Sir Seat Sitter is jam-packed. So, okay, I want to play this clip. I've been meaning to play this a very horrible situation happening to Haitians who were born and raised in Dominican Republic. They're being tossed out. And it brings the point, one of the great things about our Constitution is our ex post facto laws, which I've been reading from the... What is that? What is an ex post facto? And people should look at ex post facto. Can you give us a brief... Yes, an ex post facto, which is illegal. An ex post facto law is one where, like, for example, let's say you get arrested for, say,

2:38:01 throwing a cigarette butt down on the ground. And the cops say, well, you can't really charge him with anything because we can't find any laws that say it's illegal for him to do that. And so, okay, well, we'll pass a law and now you can charge him. So you pass a law that retroactively charges you. It's totally illegal in this country, in state, any level whatsoever to pull that stunt. You can pass a law that takes the onus off of you You know, in other words, you legalize something. And so you legalize marijuana and you let people leave prison. You don't have to, but you should. So it does work in that direction, obviously. Yeah, it works in one direction, but not the other. So you can't all of a sudden pass a bunch of crazy laws making what you did yesterday

2:38:47 Illegal. I'm guessing this is different in the Dominican Republic? Apparently. There's another border story playing out in our hemisphere on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. The Dominican Republic and Haiti sit side by side yet have a complex and fraught history. During the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of Haitians crossed into the wealthier Dominican Republic to escape poverty and political instability only to face color-based racism and at times violent repression. Recently, in what international human rights organizations took to be a swipe at those with Haitian roots, the Dominican government made headlines when it ended birthright citizenship for children born in the Dominican Republic to undocumented parents. NewsHour Weekend's Yvette Feliciano has more as part of our ongoing series on Haiti. January in the Dominican Republic's city of Himani, near the main border crossing into Haiti.

2:39:43 Earlier in the day, 34-year-old Jesus Lom, exiler, says he was detained. Exiler, a Baptist pastor, says he was unjustly held by Dominican immigration authorities for six hours. They come and ask me, hey you, black guy, where are your documents? I took them out and they said, get on the truck. And while we drove I asked, what is the problem here? I have my documents. And they said they had to verify. Exiler was born in the Dominican Republic to Haitian migrants, and he is a legal resident here. But he is not a Dominican citizen, and he cannot vote. That's because, according to the Dominican government, his Haitian heritage makes Exiler a foreigner in the country of his birth.

2:40:32 They call you illegal. They say, you are not from here, you are Haitian, go to your country. Most of us don't even know Haiti. We don't know anyone there. It used to be that, with few exceptions, being born in the DR made you a citizen. But constitutional and legal revisions that took full effect in 2014 changed all that. Under the new law, many Dominicans born to undocumented parents between 1929 and 2007 would lose their citizenship. So would their children, their children's children, and on and on. The Dominican government has no estimate of the total number of people affected. But human rights groups estimate hundreds of thousands suddenly lost their citizenship.

2:41:20 Yeah, give the Dominican Republic a nice douchebag. I wasn't prepared for that. I was thinking about... I'm giving the douchebag. Where's the big douchebag? Oh, you want the big douchebag. There's a there's a long I'm putting this together to maybe take a week or two there's a group of elites who are buying up islands and You know you can obviously the Clintons are involved, but other names well Branson But they called I think that 12 island challenge and Haiti and the Dominican Republic It's all a part of it, and there's weird crap going on Hopefully I'll find some clips to be able to

2:42:04 Explain a little bit more, but yeah, it's either the 10 country challenge or 12 country Caribbean challenge. You can look it up This something's going on there that is beyond the pale. There's more than normal Yeah Fletcher's like nah, not only one I got two No, I think it's got to be Mueller Yeah, yeah Mueller's the way to go. Thanks Fletcher. It's here at the end of this show. Okay. Oh, yes perfect And that is it for the program for today Thanks everybody who? Is here at live during your Easter celebration?

2:45:18 Good morning. The local newspaper, Le Parisien, is reporting that a fire alarm went off here at Notre Dame Cathedral shortly after 6 p.m. on Monday, but a computer bug showed the fire's location in the wrong place. The paper is also reporting the flames may have started at the bottom of this fire and may have been caused by an electrical problem in an elevator.
