00:00 Climate shouse. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. And Sunday December 1st 2019 this is your award-winning Gimel Nation Media Assassination episode 1195! This is no agenda... Dropping the T's counting 33's and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 the frontier of Austin Texas capital of The Drone Star State in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where I am now a big fan of Weetabix with a little maple syrup. I'm John C DeBarre. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! Weedabix, what's next? Marmite?! Weedabix Kids grow up on that That's what kids in the UK grow up on is weedabix. Weedabix! You can buy Weedabix! Yeah. Funny story, Weedabix was also made in Canada and sold here once in awhile. I don't know where-I've only found it by accident

00:56 But or as the kids would say on accident still understand how the kids the kids So I looked into it, it's actually an Australian product called Wheat-Bix. That was the two guys who invented it that were sold out from under them they moved to South Africa started up a company called Weedabix and then they moved out to England eventually Oh really? Standard product this goes back to the 20s Wow! I would say that there is a Lanham Act issue with Wheatbix and Weedabix It's too close You know what you should try that with some of that Shanksville maple syrup

01:33 Well, I use maple syrup but I don't open every maple syrup that comes along right away. That's next in line actually. I had to! That is outstanding! I'm sure it is they wouldn't have sent it to us otherwise. It just...it's too small. Pennsylvania probably makes a distinctive maple syrup because these different areas make the trees taste different Yeah, well yes. I've licked many a tree and i can agree they taste very different anyway. I have licked some bark myself yeah you know that's where DMT comes from from tree bark. The DMT tree? Yes and you got to have a druid who knows how to do it but that's what that's where the good stuff comes from is from the tree hey thanks for the newsletter that was really nice

02:28 Oh, you're welcome. I thought you were going to be in Holland today? The newsletter was kind of misleading." Well not really...I mean it would have corrected you but it made sense. I guess it was just confusing if you didn't know exactly what's going on yeah. I leave this week and I arrive Thursday morning like early. I think I explained this on the show maybe I wasn't clear So fly Wednesday, arrive early Thursday sleep do the prep then do the show Sleep and then Friday we have everything going on Okay And I have to stay the weekend otherwise it's $6000 Right you can't afford not to What is that? Why did they start that idea and why are they still doing it? Well it started a long time ago 20 years ago. Well if you stay a Saturday you get less costless Yeah what is up with that

03:20 Well, it was load balancing obviously but on the backs of the passengers I don't know. It doesn't make sense to me. Well we might as well start with my unsafe airline clip then hold on a second since i'm flying anyway The FAA's tests are designed to replicate the real-life panic of an onboard emergency. Smoke fills the cabin as the lights suddenly go out now under orders from Congress to set minimum seat size standards, the FAA is looking at whether smaller seats actually pose a threat we want to see if varying seat pitch and width has any influence or effect on

03:58 the time it takes to evacuate an aircraft. But critics say the tests up till now have been flawed, no one grabs for an overhead bag there are no children elderly or disabled participants and very few are obese but dilemma three out of four Americans were not overweight yet the airlines have been shrinking sea sizes for years from 35 inches down to 31 inches and less today. A lot comes down to plain and simple comfort but number one should be safety If we can't get out during an emergency evacuation, then people are really in trouble. The new FAA test involves 60 volunteers at a time ages 18 to 60 still no children disabled or elderly but the FAA promises the tests should better reflect America's weight demographic

04:44 Aircraft manufacturers must prove that every passenger can get out of a plane within 90 seconds with half the exits blocked The question tonight is whether too close for comfort is also too close for safety So there was a couple things I hadn't realized thinking about that or listening to that clip one is children disabled and elderly Wow, they will hamper my exit Probably we should put him in their own section Well, that's an idea but I've got an idea that I've floated a few times. which Noah's likes, you should... and I think this is the most logical thing to do with airline fees. Is you should charge by the pound! Yes, I have heard this in the past but still that doesn't mean that i won't have a child hampering my emergency exit. Get out of the way kid! You can pick the kid up and move him. Cage the kids put them downstairs everybody wins parents win too

05:44 Yeah, well see you're just being flippant. I'm actually serious about my by the pound thing because it's all calculated by the pound of weight how much fuel it takes to move X number of pounds. Mm-hmm yeah yeah you're not my enthusiasm... No no! I'm thinking about it but now I mean what? My little flights if you on some of these little puddle jumpers you get on they go from here to there they do weigh you before you know on some of these flights sometimes yeah sometimes I don't know. I think the way we charge is just fine, the fact that they're overcharging is not so fine and then we're charging for a weekend That's what I want someone to tell us why that is taking place It's load balancing! I'm telling you, I just told ya

06:30 I neglected to say or to mention something which i think i do every year on the last show Thanksgiving is Black Friday and how in recent years the anti-american United States of Europe has picked this up. I have clips! Very good, I'll finish my statement. Have picked this up and actually in every language they call it black friday It's not Zwarte Vrijdag in Dutch. You hear, nou kom op schat we gaan even lekker naar de Black Friday! Kom we gaan! That is one way to hear it and it's in the media everyone calls a black friday and I think what happened

07:17 Everyone is so wrapped up in the commerce of it and the fact that it's Black Friday That they forgot to warn people there'll be a lot of people out there A lot of people congregating and it could be nefarious actors roaming around trying to cause to wreak havoc. There were no warnings well No, well this black friday thing first showed up in on our show went two years ago when I was in England for Thanksgiving Yes, ah that's right. That's right I thought i was reporting it but i wasn't. Because i was stunned, there's Black Friday because the day after Thanksgiving is black friday and thinking what's black for what? What this is an American thing! And then if i recall the report was that its Amazon that was behind promoting Black Friday in Europe oh that would make sense yeah to get everyone you have to get people jacked up so they can have Cyber Monday

08:14 I think that's the long-term goal. I didn't realize at the time that this had been going on and when i reported on it, this has been going on in many parts of Europe. And this report from DW describes the whole situation. This is Black Friday DW report. Love It or Leave It! Black Friday is part of the calendar now a day of over-the-top deals and big retailer hopes. This year's been no different although some participants are in less than festive mood Santa Claus in Los Angeles makes it obvious to one and all what black friday is about Christmas is just around the corner, so buy mountains of presents or just spoil yourself. But buy! Buy! Buy! Black Friday arrived in Europe years ago like here in Paris where consumers are also scrambling for bargains but this year in Paris and many other European cities climate activists have joined the throngs

09:04 They're making sure everyone gets to hear their protests against consumerism, wasting of finite resources and packaging. Some shops shut their doors to stop the activists from protesting inside. Many customers were suddenly locked in and only a few were allowed in at a time. The climate activists are calling it Block Friday – the idea being to block the shopping spree to publicize their environmental concerns. We are protesting against overconsumption today We can consume but more fairly, more ethically. So when you buy a handbag don't get a new one every year to change the color keep it it lasts 10 or 15 years." From Block Friday back to the US and Black Friday shoppers are more interested in finding bargains than worrying about climate change for the downsides of consumerism

09:51 We got up at 1am, so you know the anticipation that you see behind us there's a lot of people in line. So you want to be the first person to get what you want on Black Friday." Traditionally black friday is the most important sales day of the year The US retail sector depends on it being a success Do it so nice climate change. I love this. Can you imagine what would happen with a bunch of climate change nut balls in front of like, one of these Black Friday things at Walmart or something? It would be unbelievable to get the crap beat out of them! Yeah they'd be trampled But this is the European way, of course

10:31 But it's been going on forever. Apparently Paris was a big Black Friday operation, I guess...I don't know what it's like in Holland they didn't report on that. Although the French members of Parliament did come out with a statement they're right in line with XR they want to ban Black Friday because of resource waste and overconsumption Which to be honest is, there's some fairness to that. This is the kind of mentality that you have to wonder about some of these governments You need consumption in an economic system like we run If everybody just stays home and uses old purses it really isn't going to be good for the economy They're wondering why they are always struggling

11:12 Get your glad rags and your handbags, ladies. Old purses! And then what does global warming have to do with consumption? I mean i can see you making some kind of a... Overconsumption no the overconsumption everything you consume has a carbon price attached to it Don't you realize this? That would have to be it. Although, now I'd have to be it so here's the Black Friday report with now this one here is another one that's this is the NBC one and I have to this is a local This one here they were looking at this like I think this is a native ad in disguised as a news report and they lead...this is of one of the most

11:57 I'd say heinous reports on Black Friday, because it's a report on Black Friday and the retailing get out there and buy stuff. But they couch it as a homeland security warning. And then they dropped the whole storyline of the Homeland Security and just get into the native ad selling stuff. While you were eyeing the sales, tonight a new warning keep your eyes peeled for scams. The Department of Homeland Security wants you to beware of fake websites while shopping online sharing two examples and red flags websites that have unusual addresses or lack contact info adding if the price is too good to be true it probably is

12:38 But for many consumers, there's no stopping their shopping. Much of it coming online. Black Friday saw a record high $7.4 billion in online sales nearly 3 billion of that coming from smartphones alone flying off the shelves this season and kids toys Paw Patrol LOL surprise and frozen to merchandise and electronics including laptops Apple AirPods and big screen TVs Experts say this year, when searching for those deals the calendar will actually work in your favor. There's only 22 days between Cyber Monday and Christmas which is six days less than there were last year. Consumers are going to reap the benefits of that because retailers you're gonna see them offering more sales starting sooner

13:22 So the sales have been worth it? Oh yeah, absolutely. But not all shoppers are leaving with a full stocking on social media complaints that Walmart after advertising the marked down Apple Watch abruptly cancelled orders saying they were out of stock Walmart calls it a technical issue saying those customers can reorder at the same Black Friday price For shoppers in Atlanta, there's only one measure of success this season. If I can leave with some stealer deals, I'm going to try and find some deals that knock our socks off! So Walmart had this overstock issue of these damn Apple watches and they're like oh man what are we gonna do? Buy a native ad! Yeah that is pretty... What was the word you used?

14:14 News report disguised as a... No, no. He said hmmm I don't know. Yeah, it was okay. It'll come back to me He used a good word in the intro to that. That's exactly what piece of shit. I think we could have said too Very obvious like it goes on and they give dropped his Walmart story And is which has got nothing to do with their homeland security? Yeah, and they drop this Walmart thing at the end about oh yeah They ran out of them Apple watches or discounted some of these watches for 124 something $75 offer It's still an expensive product, but it's cheaper than buying it from Apple And I'm wondering why Apple has to run stuff through Walmart. They also have a Costco operation now No But they've gone all in man that they're selling everywhere They can't it's the ads that they're doing on TV now the cocoa ads with the with the telcos this they're doing a lot

15:08 By the way, before I forget... They're pumping them out. Probably about 14 in the next 14 days we'll have our annual Secret Santa who pays off everybody's shit on layaway will have that one coming up Will it be for Walmart again? Because usually it's Walmart Yeah probably Walmart Walmart's Walmart. Yeah, so they have that thing you get the news report Oh everyone on layaway was paid off by a secret Santa yeah Maybe target maybe targets coming just as like you know these others things always come I'm missing new story You can expect year after year or month after month there every six weeks or whatever? Yeah, it'll be some and it'll be Walmart. Yeah, oh somebody paid. Oh this man such a great guy

16:00 I'm trying to find one of those older reports. Lay away now... And he's Mr Anonymous. No, it's always some anonymous person who pays everything off but what would we have named a clip like that? Oh, I don't- That's a tough one to outgain. Let me see this. Walmart is offering new incentives to attract high schoolers. No, that's not it Damn, I know we have this. If it's not under Secret Santa you're gonna spend too much time looking for it Okay there is not a lot in... yeah okay anyway we'll have a new one in a few weeks It will be coming shortly Well I think what was it 5.4 billion dollars done online in the US that's pretty good No 7.7 something That was all of last year wasn't it?

16:52 I don't know. This report was pre... well anyway, but Tina and Elise went out shopping in the afternoon they said it was not that bad it was okay but it wasn't crazy people weren't killing each other I think more of us just online I think Amazon is right they push this and a Walmart of course also has their online whatever they bought didn't they buy something for billion dollars and trying to catch up to Amazon with it? Okay yeah bought some company Well, good luck. It'd be better if we had two of these companies really competing instead of just Amazon dominating everything. Yeah they bought Jet that's what it was jet yeah Anyway I like the climate change angle um i do have a couple of updates in the Green New Deal uh corner and the first would be that there was an article in Ad Age now ad age is still meaningful for the industry isn't

17:48 I believe so, advertising age, ad ages. Or is it ad week and advertising age? Yeah those two of these. Ad week and ad age. And their advertising age tends to be the more old-fashioned, more traditional, and I think better done publication personally. Back when I was in the industry and you would look forward to add week was more like who's moving where who's you know? Who's got a client whose pitching but at age yeah, I agree. That's more a little deeper in the industry well Aaron Hall who I don't know if he writes for them regularly But he's the group director of naming at global brand strategy firm Siegel and Gale Who I don't know but sounds impressive two names And he wrote an op-ed

18:41 in ad age. Renaming climate change, can a new name finally make us take action? And he starts off by saying I was a professional namer. I create names for companies products and services after the global climate strike this past September. I found myself thinking about the terms climate change and global warming are these scientific terms which i think is funny by itself are these scientific terms too neutral do they do enough to grab attention and inspire people to take action Well, I don't need to read the rest of the article except for some of the highlights because obviously he's looking at rebranding climate change and getting his cohorts along for the ride because there is a lot of climate activist advertising going on. It's what we do. It's money! Good money! And if you have the right brand and the right branding whether it's for product that you want intertwined with climate change or just wanna get some of that sweet sweet government dollars You gotta have some good names

19:40 So, he set himself out a little strategy. You know the way you do it in advertising For Reach the new name needs to speak to a global threat affecting 7.5 billion humans As such our global team of namers from London New York San Francisco and Shanghai developed these new names The audience. I'm trying to give a little advertising spin to it This is his briefing, you know he's pitching to the community So wait before you continue i have not read this so this is all news to me and now did he address the fact that they've already tried to change global warming to climate crisis and climate emergency? He's completely ignored that because he actually has some of that in his pitch names

20:25 He's actually not keeping up. No, I think he ignored it purposefully and he has a number of names and he probably threw in some stuff just to make it you know like oh yeah that kind of heard that but we want something better. I think its something they do if you wanna sell pair shoes show someone the sandals the boots and then the shoes you actually wanted them buy audience. The brand needs to reach an audience that isn't trained in scientific terms, like climate change it's a scientific term we need these folks to understand the severity of what's happening to their planet and inspire them to make more eco-friendly life choices and pro-climate choices at the ballot box...and the message

21:08 There are many possible themes, tones and styles of names to explore. The name could signal hope fear or change It could be a call to action Be more descriptive Or use familiar metaphors that emotionally connect us to the issue With all this in mind our team of wordsmiths developed You can't charge for a name like Wordsmith. Never call your global name branding team Wordsmiths! Anyway, with all of this in mind our team of wordsmiths developed the following new names for climate change now I'll just give them to you if you want a little further explanation i can go into the pitch paragraph but we'll start with the first two Global Meltdown and Global Melting

22:02 Wow, what a lip smack. Well let me tell you this is interesting both of those are terrible by the way so this guy I would fire on the spot he has more so he has more i'm just... You're fired! But the reason I say that is because I was talking to the Lib Joe's in a little roundabout on the chat messaging thing yeah the RCS And I was ridiculing this stupid picture of Greta. This has been put on the side of a building in San Francisco and it's like just huge head that's just a monstrosity, and it is frightening. I think people should protest the city council as scaring kids

22:55 And I said, why don't they put somebody else up there? And I mentioned Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King. There's a million people you'd want to paint a big head. It would be more appropriate for the... I can't wait for the comeback! And one and I said why did they do this? So one of the Lib Joes writes back because the earth is melting Okay so he... So this in in the lexicon Yes Well, these options are subtle brand shifts from global warming. Subtle? Yet they deliver a more negative image These names signal that ice caps are melting but also create a more visceral image in the mind That real feeling of melting when it's too hot outside We'll move on Climate collapse or climate chaos

23:55 Well, climate collapse I think is they've tried that the problem with climate collapses. Oh well we're done We're done over go back to work Well he personally likes the alliteration and naming you would choose a naming trick proven to enhance memorability So I don't like either one of them then he goes on to boiling point or melting point Again with the melting yeah, it's just swing. It was just done during the winter where they're all bundled up outside I don't know yeah complaining about the boiling point. It's a boiling point Let me type my scarf It's time to take the gloves off and stop pretending sometimes a brand names-to-be name needs to be hyperbolic to truly capture hearts and minds

24:41 If we don't take massive action now, Earth will be uninhabitable. An irreversible barren wasteland. Plants and animals will die! Humans won't be able to survive extreme weather like floods, droughts and fires. If we don't change, we wont even be able to spend time outside This term paints the direst picture of what's to come And what we must avoid...and is likely the edgiest brand name from our exploration Care to guess? By the way, for anyone to write that in adage, that paragraph you're pretty far out there. Scorched earth is his term which of course is not anything new but he feels that would be really good to get people's attention. That's terrible! Alright now we have some other

25:32 Scorched earth is a specific, it's not a scientific term but it's an historical term. And it means where you're in war and then you decide to burn down everything behind you so that anyone chasing you cannot get supplies or live. I mean scorched earth policy? You can't put that word because they assume somebody's actually doing something I'm trying to think did this Aaron Hall that he come up with the new coke name? It seems like you might have been on that team. He has a couple other honorable mentions, so that was it That's his pitch those are hers in names. Thanks. He has a couple of honorable mentions emission critical planet critical Pre-mission critical is upon listen to this one pre extinction This I like

26:21 You and I could use this. Climate change, yes! I believe we are in the pre-extinction phase which of course is true. That's actually pretty good because your extinction rebellion is exploiting that Yeah but we can actually say this because of course were pre-extinction We always are perpetually in pre-extinction That's why I like it Pre-extinction...We have to come up with a little slogan Well here's the great collapse Which I think is an interesting... The Great Collapse sounds like an economic thing. It's no good! And then Earth Shattering, ugh! That's not good? None of these are good except pre-extinction that's kind of cool. Yeah it's kinda cool but well it's not gonna get the job done. Wait a minute Sir Gene weighs in he says why not just call it Earth Cancer that'll give everybody the right idea

27:18 That's actually better than anything this guy said. It was better than the rest Uh, here's the latest from Extinction Rebellion. We're here outside YouTube headquarters because- Oh yes they're protesting outside YouTube headquarters in London We are here outside YouTube headquarters because a Guardian report has found that the majority of Youtube videos- By the way it's Guardian reporter! Reporter! It's a reporter! It's their fault! Has she bundled up? Of course! We are here outside YouTube headquarters because a Guardian report has found that the majority of YouTube videos go against the scientific consensus about the climate crisis and we're asking them to tell the truth about the climate crisis and not let this misinformation be spread. Once you've watched one video which promotes misinformation it feeds through your stream, and it keeps going on with just more and more and more misinformation so that's the way its algorithm works People do what they do because of the stories that they're told The majority of videos about climate science on YouTube

28:22 are telling lies. Are you in charge of this company? No! That we are in an enormous emergency. If people understood the reality of the crisis that we face, then they would be here on the streets with us. There ya go. Extinction Rebellion Pre-Extinction Rebellion See a picture there, I got a picture of that guy who heads up that thing is just a horrible looking person he looks like Satan In the UK, they had a... I guess they had some kind of climate debate and neither Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage decided to show up. So on the TV... because this-I don't know if they decide last minute or they said we're not coming. I think it was more like we don't want to do this

29:09 And so they had three or four different party leaders, and then on either end it would have been Boris or Nigel. Instead they had melting busts of them – ice melting. Very funny! Unfair by the way this is a typical unfairness to do that but they could have had brought a spokesperson in that said, you know. That means the way you're supposed to do it for people who want to do campaigning the way you're supposed to do it is somebody doesn't show up well he didn't show up but we do have another representative self-proclaimed UKIP or Brexit party member Bill Jenkins here and you bring some stooge in

29:59 That's got nothing to do with the party. He doesn't believe in anything over there and just makes a fool of himself Or he's a stutterer, right? There's some you bring some you bring people like that And you don't pull this other stuff because it's too obvious the other way the it this way The way I'm describing is never much necessarily obviously steps to the you know fine-tuned folks who listen to no agenda show uh, there was quite the fracas over the past couple couple days as a bolsonaro of brazil Brazilian President Bolsonaro claimed that a group that supports, I guess works in an NGO Amazon forestation NGO receive money from Leonardo DiCaprio and that they're the ones that set the Amazon on fire.

30:51 Yes, I have this is the oh you do. Yeah, of course. I love this. I'm covering your ass today. Yeah well Thanks Which one is it every? Every topic I got a clip Well here's how it works. I sit down. I'm gonna do clips if I see you have the clip I'm just gonna get the set dressing. I'm gonna get the window stuff yeah You're getting all the credit Oh, you're... it's oh please. What just which clip is it? Bolsonaro! It was the segue that was so beautiful Thank you By the way before you segway out what you're gonna do I do have a couple other screwball climate change things but let's listen to Bolsonaro this thing looks like

31:31 I don't know who this is a publicity stunt for, but it's for somebody. Tonight, a war of words between Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio. President Bolsonaro blaming the star for the devastating Amazon wildfires earlier this year. DiCaprio is a cool guy he said giving money to set the Amazon on fire. Bolsonaro has accused certain non-governmental environmental organizations of deliberately setting fire to the Amazon, all to get donations. It contacts Leonardo DiCaprio he alleges. He donates $500,000 you are contributing to the fire in the Amazon. Investigators have not found any evidence so far to support the accusations

32:12 And now the actor and avid climate activist is hitting back, saying in an Instagram statement... While worthy of support we did not fund the organizations targeted. Adding that he remains committed to helping secure the Amazon for the future of all Brazilians The fires so far have helped destroy millions of acres... Now hold on before this concludes How can this not be a problem for the XR folks? When he's saying, well while it's worthy of support of burning down the Amazon we didn't do it this time. Isn't this whole thing like wasn't everyone all out of their minds because of these fires and it was going to create more carbon dioxide and less plants? Where did I miss the change here that is okay for him to say oh it's good that they do that

33:06 Well, there were this was disco we discussed this in great detail as I recall In from all kinds of perspectives and they do burn the forest quite a bit every year Yes part of a process that they used to not disagreeing with it But how come the Extinction Rebellion aren't up in arms that he would actually support that? scenario which supports no then let DiCaprio supports the burning of the Amazon I don't know. Don't you remember that with Amazon is burning we're all gonna die? Yeah, because it's the lungs of the earth! Yes the lungs of the earth did we miss this report and now but oh Leonardo said it's good then then we just don't talk about...I'm sorry maybe I'm misinterpreting this

33:52 You might be misinterpreting something because I don't remember, I don't know that's in there. Can you play it and tell me the specific part you're referring to? Yes. $500,000 dollars you are contributing to the fire in the Amazon. Investigators have not found any evidence so far to support the accusations And now the actor and avid climate activist is hitting back, saying in an Instagram statement. While worthy of support we did not fund the organizations targeted adding that he remains committed to helping secure these while worthy of support. The NGO that burned down the Amazon? We didn't give them money! Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay yeah well there's two things in that clip that are bothersome That's one of them the other one is an Instagram announcement When are people starting to do their announcements on Instagram? Isn't that just for photos? No man! If you're Leonardo...that's your platform

34:47 That's where you go! The Amazon for the future of all Brazilians. The fires so far have helped destroy millions of acres of the ecosystem known as the lungs of the earth. Governments around the world, including Brazil need to work together to make sure this doesn't continue For the president of a country to claim that an actor is actually trying to hurt the environment that he's trying to protect it just shows how little Bolsonaro has in his pocket Did you hear did you listen that last part again and really understand the implications of what he said? I want to hear it again at the last ten seconds here. Yeah, that guy comes in some joker comes on at the end and says something oops continue for the president of a country to claim that an actor is actually trying to hurt The environment that he's trying to protect is just it just shows how little Bolsonaro has in his pocket

35:42 Does he it sounds to me like he's implying that actors in general have no power. Well, there's that But he's saying that actors in general would never never know actor Oh Right just as all All creative people are Democrats Yeah according to a John legend so there's this kind of arrogance in amongst the ranks and that if you're an actor, or you're an artist and therefore you'd wanna do this and you wanna do that. You wouldn't even think of voting Republican! Who was the guy at the end there? Who did say that? It was some guy... it was some stooge I don't know They may have had a lower third with his name on it He wasn't not important person but he was making commentary

36:30 But I just was what I saw he left it in cuz no actor could ever ever do that. No actors are all good We're all for client we're all against climate change with us after you want to hear the John Legend clip for refreshing Please well, we've always been liberal musicians actors act as its almost by disposition we deal with the gay and lesbian community all the time so we're gonna feel like They should have the right to get married, just like we do. We deal with people of all colors and all races and we travel to different countries all the time to perform so were going to have a more global view and a more inclusive view it's almost by nature and by circumstance of things that we do

37:17 So if America doesn't want to consume the art of people who are liberal-minded, there's not going to be a lot of art for them to consume. As simple as that! Because the best artists most of them are liberal sorry There is some country artists I know they're conservative I have a lot of country artists that are friends and believe me some of them are liberal but they don't make a big deal out of it because they know it'll alienate their base. Most creative people are liberal to say I have a lot of country people who are my friends Is that not the same as saying? Yeah, I have black people who are some some other my best friends like people who are my friends Country people with my friends exactly the same. Thanks legend and then we also reintroduced this secret vote thing Which is that well you know if you got him in a secret vote they'd vote against them

38:08 And that's what he is implying there. He says a lot of country western singers are... Ah, yes! Do you hear that in there? In the closet. They're in the closet, they can't really say anything because they know it. Yeah but if you actually could get them to say what they really meant... Oh yeah, oh yes, obviously So DiCaprio continues to be a good shepherd or steward I should say of agenda 21 as he is now officially announced his investment in the Beyond Meat vegan burger company. Chemicals are us! Now, is that true? Do they have chemicals? Better living through chemistry Yeah well... Is it-I thought it was just all beans

38:51 Sure, this kid there's a bunch of shh. There's a I don't have the package in front of me But there's a lot of additives and things to make it work And it's peas I think right the Now did you want to do some more a climate change because yeah, I got a few since we're on Yes, I'm a chasing and it's pouring rain here in his freezing cold. Oh man We had thought it makes I think is worth thematic we had a couple of dreary days here as well cold wet But actually not where I am It's actually not as bad as it is everywhere else in the Bay Area but Yeah, we got an invasion of purple urchins as an NBC report. This is Purple Urchin's Invasion 1 With an environmental emergency impassions and unexpected predators disrupting a fragile ecosystem off our west coast. Gotti Schwartz went under the sea with a group trying to make a difference before it's too late

39:44 You'd never notice from along the coastlines of California, but below these picturesque waters an ecological emergency is unfolding. We're going to show you underwater To see this hidden crisis you have to go deep with the small scuba armies of volunteers all the way to the sea floor where purple sea urchins are invading and destroying what were once vast kelp forests So these act almost like lawnmowers Exactly like lawn mowers It'll actually form feeding lines that kind of sweep across an area. The sea urchin's just one piece of a catastrophic trifecta devastating the ecology of California's sea life

40:21 Warming waters from climate change and a disease wiping out starfish, the sea urchin's natural predators have led to a purple urchin takeover. A few years ago these kelp forests stretched all up and down the northern California coast but they have been decimated! They are known as The Redwoods of The Ocean And this is one of the last patches left So only 10% that's not too bad I guess if it has been decimated? But they have been decimated! They are known as The Redwoods Of The Ocean And this is one of the last patches left Which is why volunteers like Joshua Russo are spending their weekends trying to remove as many purple urchins as they can bag. So this is one of the last stands? Yeah, we've lost over 90% of our kelp beds in Northern California Experts say the kelp forests are the foundation for countless food chains from plankton to abalone fish crabs sea otters All now replaced by a barren seabed of urchin's Now where do these come from

41:19 You see urchins? Yeah, are they indigenous to- I think so. I think they're native and they used to... Here's the real problem. They bring me this on Global Warming. Yes! Global warming kills the starfish and- Well, the starfish died of some mysterious disease that they've never identified and it could be replenished because they're pretty... Because the starfish love these urchins And anyone who eats uni knows what they're going for there Yeah, I was gonna say. I mean can't we it sounds like a good supply of Food yeah, we couldn't do it a lot with these urchins if the fishing trade There's like a billion of them Oh right now they estimate yeah And there are two all over the bottom this pointy They're horrible looking things and their pick they're trying to I don't know what that weather bothering but when you listen to part 2 You can get kind of a clue

42:13 And then we'll talk about it after you listen to this part. But on shore, solutions are limited with regulations restricting how many urchins can be harvested and only by hand. If that's all the law will allow us to do then we'll do the best we can but it is futile So for now volunteers are plucking them out one-by-one purple drops in a bucket for a problem growing every day I think we need emergency legislation Well it seems to me what would happen here was that sea urchins these little purple guys

42:53 were being harvested. Being protected by some bull crap legislation and they grew out of control Yeah, hello? And this is a Democrat state They could change the legislation easy enough I don't think it's a federal law that keeps you from just taking a plow because you can see You could go down there if he has some mechanical stuff because you have to By law you can only pluck these things by hand and you can't even count to a billion Let alone pluck a billion of these things out of the bottom. You know it's obviously the sushi restaurant owners lobby that is keeping these regulations Probably killing all these things and they're running short, and then they said no No you can't do that you know guys are killing all these damn things And so they legislated to let them grow and so now they're taking over the place and I

43:45 There's a lot of this story that needs to be further investigated, but starfish is one of the problems which may have been for all you know poisoned. Yeah To keep the sea urchins going so they can have more uni The Japanese love uni well now You're talking some trade with Japan apparently we're selling rice to China now So why would sell sushi to Japan? Well, yeah. I don't see why not? I don't know now somebody out there who's an expert do we have some people that we have people definitely say this is not the edible sea urchin but i dont know why would it be protected in such a way if wasn't so im sure its the edible one and starfish apparently loved eating them so its a mess but global warming isn't the problem No, but its always fun to mention

44:39 Yeah, it just keep hounding and hounding and hounding. Because it works? It does work as we know I don't know if I get any more global warming stuff here Well no but we do have this This is something we probably at least should get out of the way to At least so we can feel better that We're doing this show on the on a...We did on Thanksgiving were doing today or you are in Holland and let's listen to what is going on around the country, The Thanksgiving Weather Report. Good evening dangerous deadly weather is slamming much of the US right now. Blizzard conditions tripling parts of the Rockies Midwest Great Plains even Arizona and this is just a beginning

45:21 More than 70 million people will also be hit with gusty winds, flash floods and tornadoes. Treacherous conditions for the 55 million traveling home from the holidays. Airports are on alert, canceling flights thousands more already delayed We're tracking multiple storm systems this hour. Kathy Park starts us off Tonight, powerful storms creating chaos for post-Thanksgiving travelers as snow heavy rain and strong winds barrel across the country. In Colorado hurricane force wind gusts whipping snow in all directions creating whiteout conditions. These winds are really whipping through here tough even for this meteorologist to stand and dangerous for those daring to drive on the roads

46:06 In Arizona, a massive pileup on the interstate with trucks stuck for hours. And a snowy Grand Canyon town declared state of emergency with no power stranding 1,000 tourists. Tornadoes even touched down in Phoenix and floodwaters turned deadly in nearby Gila County an RV got swept into this creek only six people made it out alive as water quickly submerged the vehicle Listening to this in audio is probably even better than watching this on television. I think it is except for one thing What's that they had a photo or shot or video of the Grand Canyon? Covered with snow yeah Wow was that something to look at it's just the Grand Canyon, but there's snow all over the place It's very pretty hmm We should do we should do our own little report. I think you should toss to me. I'm at Austen Bergstrom Airport

47:05 And we've got a report from Adam Curry's in Austin Bergstrom Airport as we speak. Adam? Yeah, John! John I'm here if you can imagine... This weather is really messing up a lot of travel plans for the holiday travelers. We've got this wind here, it's just... Oh hold on a second! My camera man is falling down As you can tell its horrible for Thanksgiving and that's it be safe everybody back to you in a few minutes John Thanks Adam, that was Adam Curry at the airport Be safe buddy

47:42 People in the troll room like, hey man sounds like there's some static or something. What am I hearing? That's the wind blowing on the mic you fools! You put all this time into production. If you listen to that report that I had the clip of, they put that sound into the voiceover which is a reporter in a hurricane out in the wind and he's got a dead cat or whatever he was using to muffle his sounds not helping That's my favorite kind of report. Love them! So now they're just using that sound to make it windy sounding? Yes, exactly Bad miking Very funny Yeah Ah! Yeah so same thing Speaking of the holiday Thanksgiving day Oh wait I'm sorry I have one more global warming clip Oh well that has precedence of course Well we are on the topic Sea level rise shortly on Deutsche Welle

48:46 If you live in coastal areas of China, Bangladesh India Vietnam or Thailand You may have to move within the next 30 years. The reason? Sea level rise A new study predicts that by 2050 increases in sea levels due to melting ice sheets could affect more people than previously estimated Yeah, I think what they're trying to create is some kind of panic selling moment so the elite can come in and get some nice beachfront property. And when they brought this guy on who did this report for some climate change operation and he admitted that there was no difference in the numbers that they've ever been except now they're perceiving the possibility that the landmass is getting lower Yes it's sinking

49:35 It's sinking. Yes, instead of the sea level rising actually the land is sinking and a lot of that is happening there's a lot of erosion because of sand theft primarily A lot of these islands sand is being stolen and it helps make that country sink like the Maldives stealing sand Onward. So we laughed on the last show a bit about the Newsweek report that Trump, oh he's spending his Thanksgiving holiday golfing and drinking or golfing and whoring around and of course you went to Afghanistan which was somewhat unexpected now that Newsweek reporter was fired

50:21 And now the reporter is retorting saying, hold on a second. I called the editor who was on duty and told him hey something's going on and he filed my report anyway it's his fault! Yeah, so they're pointing their point. Yeah the pointing fingers at each other I like it yeah running scared But it just shows how phony The news business is everything you saw on television pretty much Maybe your local live news cast but even that had a lot of pre-roll packages because that's what happens It's just they stop with news they go home to have their own then public be damned and

51:00 and they just file their reports, make it up as they go along. And it's not just Thanksgiving! It happens with many other things... That's why I like being here, and like being live. Oh, I thought you were gonna have a clip that was going to exemplify this? Oh if only I did! No...I have other fun stuff to talk about but yeah I kind of followed that story with that woman in her false report and she was told the file at days early so she had to guess what was gonna happen Hey give us your Thanksgiving report earlier just tell us what Trump is doing A lot people don't realize it when people die

51:38 Their obits are already on file. Good to go, that's how they sometimes slip out by accident Yeah every so often somebody accidentally prints one of them Very well prepared obit There was a big revelation in the Jeffrey Epstein case That was detailed in The New York Times Apparently some hacker named Kessler has come out of the woodworks and in fact, has been talking to different parties for several months saying that he has an entire server full encrypted etc. etc., of prominent people from Jeffrey Epstein's recordings

52:21 that he set up the secure server or a secure server for Epstein and That he had access and he's now created a replica of it. He went to the some lawyers I mean, it's very just got it this morning So haven't really yeah because he's gonna get killed if he doesn't do this right? Yes But but what's worse is he went to some lawyers said okay You know I have this what are we going to do and the lawyers actually wanted to as per this hacker, wanted to take that information and use it to blackmail the people themselves. Geez! Think about who your lawyers are? Well here I have a clip from The Weekly Podcast because of course if it's Jeffrey Epstein we got to move it off the front page to a podcast. This story really began for us the day in July

53:12 Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and criminally charged with sex trafficking of minors. Suddenly he was someone who had a lot to say about the world, but he didn't have much to say about it. What they've done with reporting is it's like they're trying to all be Scorsese, you know or You know Phil Spector the wall of sound look at these edits I've got these little music beds and these hit just get to the damn story They're trying to make a Emmy award-winning. So what is it Marconi award winning stuff every single time? whether so dramatic this story really began for us the day in July and

53:53 Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and criminally charged with sex trafficking of minors. Suddenly he was someone we were thinking about, one of the big questions was where his money was from? How does someone like that come up with hundreds of millions of dollars? And we were tantalized by the fact that he seemed to have influence with a lot of powerful people These weren't models and Hollywood people. These are some of the biggest names in business and finance. There were Nobel Prize winners, Wall Street bigwigs... The list goes on and on. And we wanted to figure out why people had gravitated to him even after he had become known as a sexual predator

54:39 And then in September, our reporters met a man who claimed to have a secret trove of information from Epstein's properties. This is someone who had extraordinary probably unparalleled inside access to not only Epstein but his Epsteins digital archive If what the informant was saying was true it had the potential to unlock Jeffrey Epstein's most important secrets Whoa! See, that's what I mean. It's like... Here on the No Agenda Show as we think about the most important things Jeffrey Epstein might have done it could be something nefarious Yes exactly

55:29 Needed that in there. We should just do the show like that just over be playing music in the background Well, if you read the reporting on it though It's this is interesting of course, you know, which is reading from a script Yeah, we could they could have been a clip here a lot shorter I just take forever to say what they wanted saying and I just loved that they have You know, there's this guy out there who says hey I've got it and apparently showed something on his phone. The guy should set up a dead man switch and make sure that stuff goes to WikiLeaks if anything happens to him Yeah well...I don't know if you want it go to WikiLeaks but Well some place He has said this yes Wordpress blog What? No square space for your dead man switch? Sacrilege

56:25 In the MeToo arena, a very important study has come out in the Springer Evolutionary Psychological Science section of their publishing system. So it's an official one I can only get the abstract because they don't have any way to purchase this. Springer Verlag? Yes Sexual strategies and the perception of sexual advances. Oppression or opportunity? Here we go! And remember, this comes originally from Eliza Schlesinger as highlighted by The No Agenda Show

57:05 From an evolutionary perspective, the perception and interpretation of sexual advances depend on sex-specific mechanisms, individual differences in the perceiver's mating strategies, and the actor's attractiveness. In two studies participants evaluated hypothetical situations of sexual advances from a coworker varying in attractiveness. Can you imagine this study John? Can you imagine setting this up? I would love to study. Can you imagine, we're like hey! We're gonna do a study can the No Agenda show help choose the participants? That's right it's like doing a casting call Varying in attractiveness that was Study 1 and physical appearance or status in Study 2 Well that's very slight difference There is another one Yeah In both studies But he's rich Here's here's the thing though

57:57 In both studies, men perceived sexual advances as less negative than women. Especially when the advances arise from a physically attractive actor." Wow! First stop to presses! Furthermore... Read that again? I had no idea. Who could have thunk?! In both studies, men perceived sexual advances as less negative than women especially when the advances arise from a physically attractive actor. Now mind you, men are the horn dogs so it's less than women I think since i don't have the study and pretty sure they put in there to make women sound less douchey but its amongst...it really equal as we continue read furthermore the higher these socio-sexual orientation of the participants what that hell does that mean? Socio sexual

58:56 I have, you know generally speaking i could probably like from some perspective answer a question like that. I have no idea what you're talking about. Socio-sexual. Sociosexuality is the individual difference in the willingness to engage in sexual activity outside of a committed relationship Oh cheaters! The higher... Why did you say cheater? Sociosexual doesn't even imply that That's a crazy term, but anyway keep reading it. It's science man! Shut up it's science Furthermore, the higher the socio-sexual orientation of the participants, the less harmful these sexual advances are perceived. Oh okay! Finally, the same behavior from an attractive or physically attractive actor is perceived as less harmful than from an unattractive actor. Results are discussed from an evolutionary perspective on the perception of sexual advances." So it's a scientific fact

59:56 That if you're hot, you can harass all you want. Well I think that's borne out by reality and then poor Harvey Weinstein must really feel like a crap head after he's the ugliest man in the world apparently Well, Billy Joel already proved to us that as long as you got talent or money it doesn't matter how you look. That's how he got Christie Brinkley. Yeah but then she left him at the drop of a hat. That was the alcohol and that was the problem. There is no staying power. Staying power! I just thought you'd be happy about it. I thought you would be chaffed-chuffed about that. Chaff-chuffed? Chubbed? I don't know what the term is.

1:00:46 Well, I'm not necessarily happy about it. It just confirms reality and it's just like the whole thing and now you got... Because unfortunately it reopens the, well she's too ugly to have a boyfriend kind of argument. No no! The heartless right-wing girls are good looking heartless right wing women are always condemning the ugly women for being uh... ugly. They do. What? No I..the logical outcome is why didn't you sexually harass me because i'm ugly is that why Oh, that's a great way to go. Of course it's going that way! Yeah then you got just the opposite the pendulum swings in the opposite direction I mean already if if yours in the social justice circles and someone says well would you date a trans woman? You have to say yes If you don't say yes then your transphobe so would you date an ugly woman of course you have to say yes Yes, of course Well that's part of the laws they keep trying to pass in California where you can't discriminate on account of looks

1:01:50 literally on account of looks. And this was put forth by a bunch of people who are all, have their ears gauged they got face tats they got horns that have been embedded into the head Their faces red, look like the devil They've got canine teeth that had been implanted so they looked just horrible looking people They're just gruesome And you have to hire him. All right, do you want to do a 2020 politics here? You wanna do something else we have a couple minutes if you wanna I have some... Do you want to do a little Brexit? Oh yeah! Brexit would be good. Yeah, we're getting into this. We're getting into some action here. Yeah, we're gettin pretty close. First of all, I have a man on the street report that's kind of interesting This is uh they're talking about brexit and the upcoming elections How important in this election do you think Brexit is

1:02:46 very important. That's what I think. I think it is going to be the most important question Brexit is a really important issue for Britain at the moment and so its hard to separate it from the election But dig deeper and things get more complicated Is there anyone in particular that you think is better placed than anyone else to sort Brexit out? So I don't want Brexit to happen, so whatever outcome of the election makes that more likely would be good for me. A Conservative would get it over their line, I would believe

1:03:26 Is that what you want to see happen? Not necessarily. Opinion polls indicate that the number of people who will base their vote on Brexit has more than doubled since the last election, from 18% to 40%. Now add the prominence of Brexit as an election issue to the huge divergence of views on Brexit and what you get is bad news for a settled result Vote for the party that wants to stop Brexit. Labour has a clear plan to get Brexit sorted within six months We can get Brexit done now

1:04:01 One way or another, almost everyone you talk to wants Brexit over with. But what if the voters are so bored of Brexit they screen out the issues around Brexit? What if the voters screen it all out and they decide to vote on the domestic issues that worry them whether it's NHS or housing or all those other issues and those are areas where by-and-large the Opposition Party, Labour Party have got the strongest policies and biggest support That's one among many variables in the coming election. The country's issues have been put to the back foot whilst they're talking about Brexit, so I don't know if anybody is competent enough? I'm a bit confused with it all, to be honest with you. See! You know it's too difficult... The polls do point to a Conservative victory though and if Boris Johnson wins a majority that could mean the UK leaving the EU he says by Christmas. By Christmas

1:04:59 It just never ends. Now there's some irregularities that took place, we had this stabbing on London Bridge which enabled the Prime Minister to be interviewed and speak because you know it's a they have a two-week dark period where there's no campaigning, there's no political messaging, there's really nothing on television I think or there's no political programming perhaps? I don't know exactly what the rule is, but you can't campaign. It's some kind of stupid rule so they had to get special permission for the Prime Minister to speak on television about it But also this knife attack itself...I mean when you have an important election coming up which will be very determining for the outcome of Brexit

1:04:01 One way or another, almost everyone you talk to wants Brexit over with. But what if the voters are so bored of Brexit they screen out the issues around Brexit? What if the voters screen it all out and they decide to vote on the domestic issues that worry them whether it's NHS or housing or all those other issues and those are areas where by-and-large the Opposition Party, Labour Party have got the strongest policies and biggest support That's one among many variables in the coming election. The country's issues have been put to the back foot whilst they're talking about Brexit, so I don't know if anybody is competent enough? I'm a bit confused with it all, to be honest with you. See! You know it's too difficult... The polls do point to a Conservative victory though and if Boris Johnson wins a majority that could mean the UK leaving the EU he says by Christmas. By Christmas

1:04:59 It just never ends. Now there's some irregularities that took place, we had this stabbing on London Bridge which enabled the Prime Minister to be interviewed and speak because you know it's a they have a two-week dark period where there's no campaigning, there's no political messaging, there's really nothing on television I think or there's no political programming perhaps? I don't know exactly what the rule is, but you can't campaign. It's some kind of stupid rule so they had to get special permission for the Prime Minister to speak on television about it But also this knife attack itself...I mean when you have an important election coming up which will be very determining for the outcome of Brexit

1:05:51 with, you know either stays the same or goes away entirely or as many would hope there's a majority for the conservatives and they can go ahead and ram everything through and make it happen. To all of a sudden have an immigration-based tragedy take place is always handy! This is beyond handy In particular because both...the guy who did this He was out on special circumstances at a conference for early prisoner release and the guy who was with the Tusk, I think. There was a guy with...I love these guys who are all of sudden out there battling a guy with an IED belt with a fire extinguisher. Very heroic!

1:06:38 But the guy with the tusk was also out on some special program for killing a 15 year old or something. The whole thing stinks. This is way too convenient. Let's stop and deconstruct it I do have one report that we could at least play for background which is the stabbing Stabbing makes sense Police at work, at the site of Friday's attack One of the victims has been named as Jack Merritt. He was attending a conference on prison rehabilitation at the time and 250 kilometers away extensive searches at the home of the attacker 28 year old Osman Khan he served time for terror offenses but was released early subject to an extensive list of conditions

1:07:21 And it is this revelation that has stirred debate in a country in the middle of a general election campaign. We want to toughen up sentences for serious and violent offences, and I've said for a long time now that I think the practice of automatic early release where you cut a sentence in half really serious violent offenders out early simply isn't working and I think you've had some very good evidence of how that isn't working, I'm afraid with this case. I think we need to look at what happens in the prisons what happens with the probation service and what happens with the role of the parole board in this

1:08:01 and make sure that the sentences are appropriate, but above all it's what happens inside the prison. If prisons continue to be understaffed overcrowded and a lot of prisoners not being properly supervised then I think there is a danger to everybody in the future. And correction it wasn't the guy with the tusk it was a different guy James Ford Now couple of funny things here Let's just go to the conspiracy side, this is all staged. Now there was some guy that was stabbed and it probably wasn't staged but let's just say if it was staged here are some elements I thought that... Yes okay, I have an element or two as well.

1:08:43 In the middle of the bridge it's got a Norwal tusk. Which I'd never heard of before in my life, I've never heard the term norwall, never heard it. Norwals like a giant sea otter or it's like a sea lion kind of animal, it's like uh... A big giant one, a big thing and apparently is a tooth that grows into a tusk And he sticks straight out and you can stab things with it. But this guy's got this thing which apparently was at some fishmonger's hall, which he grabbed off the wall to chase him. Which is what I think I'd do too like oh let me think of a weapon! There we go So let me grab this Norwal tusk and run down over to the Brooklyn Bridge and have this thing be poking him with it

1:09:27 A little suspicious to go through all that trouble. The Brooklyn Bridge would have been very interesting Another guy's got a fire extinguisher where I don't know where he lugged this thing from That was my favorite He lugs his fire extinguisher and he sprays the guy And I think he conked him in the head with it which is typical of if you have a fire extinguisher and hit, you can do a headshot with it You'll knock the guy out And so then some cops show up and the guy is pretty much subdued it seems to me, he's taken to the ground. But they clear away and the cops put four slugs into him Yeah, this was the part that I especially when you're doing it at close range and why? I mean you're afraid he's gonna blow himself up and then you're gonna shoot in the area from that angle. Yeah, that angle as well now if we're going to take this to like the conspiracy side wouldn't it be possible if this whole thing was staged and these these boneheads had to be getting out of there who knows about The guy with the tusk I don't know about that but they

1:10:24 The whole thing could have been, you know just a crack of shit and he was carrying a fake bomb vest. Well stop here is the most annoying part of this when the story broke everybody was not reporting a fake Bomb vest it was reported as a hoax bomb vest which means something very different than Fake versus hoax is not the same thing and why why were they saying hoax hoax hoax? But in a maze code it must be the guys got a fake bomb this is it possible that The fake hoax bomb vest was actually a bulletproof vest very likely

1:11:08 Yeah, a good one not as you know a Kevlar You know one of those kinds that they use in battle But you could cover that up with some fake bombs and so you pump the four bullets carefully into the bulletproof vest And hauled the guy off. I like it job well done. I like it but but That's why I think the term hoax was code yeah Could be let me just see if it was the BBC as well who were reporting that let's see USA Today hoax, Telegraph reported as a hoax. New York Times as hoax and then that kind of went away but to me it was I've never heard that reported as a hoax because the hoax means intentionally tricking people but well actually what is the difference between hoax and fake? Well a fake bomb this is just objectively what it is

1:12:15 Bomb vests would be one in to suppose a trick. I'm sorry well, huh hoax the actual definition is a humorous or malicious deception So if it was hoax the guy meant it as a joke no malicious That wasn't the term though wasn't know malicious deception you just read the definitions in there Okay, nice humorous or malicious malicious. Yeah, right malicious and Okay, well I just found that to be odd and I like your theory though none of it made sense It made zero sense to be shooting the guy from what was it? Maybe four feet right there boom-boom-boom and And maybe as you say it was too You know There had to be some kind of item. I mean that would really hurt if he hit someone even with the vest from that distance but

1:13:07 But you want to aim perfectly at the vest, so maybe that's why it was so close. Regardless very convenient for the election let's just put that out there whether it was real or not. Very Trump- not Trumpian very Bushian George Bush would they always jack up the alerts. Oh, we're up at red alert where's orange alert? I Missed that Re-election of George Bush They jacked it up to orange because were under threat from the terrorists. I missed the old alert system It was so much fun with Ned the one that never changed it was just printed on every permanently or insurance

1:15:59 So let's thank a few people starting with anonymous duke executive producer five six seven eight nine from michigan. Oh, it says no location but Michigan's good enough. I've been donating anonymously since 2011 to Zoom past Duke status sometimes years ago. Woo woo! Thank you boomers for all that you do love and light for Curry's dad happy Thanksgiving and such a day late but not $1 short shout out to Gramerica and Mo Faxx and No Agenda Social the book Dark Alliance by Gary Webb as long as hell is

1:16:38 As long as hell but is so good. Adam and Mo brought it up on episode four Not that I can remember but years ago Yes, all right Gary Webb's the guy who broke the story about the Iran Contra scam going on with the CIA That's right brought it. I broke it out at the San Jose Mercury News Yeah They got pushed back from the government even though the story was completely true and everybody knew it But they got pushed back ended up getting fired for being a bad journalist ended up going, you know living out his life and I think then killed in Sacramento. And it was like this is a good example of doing good work. Two to the head gun in the left hand A lot of it had to do with the fact that he was working for corporate media so we don't do that Andrew Brewer yeah and you can thank Knight Ritter for the whole thing Good work boys! Andrew Brewer in Winston-Salem North Carolina $500

1:17:42 I am gentlemen and thank you for your courage jcd mentioned patterns on the perfect thanksgiving show is not the thanksgiving show was perfect lot of people like that show yeah it got me thinking about my donations to the best podcast in a realize that i It gives some value for value every 300 episodes or so since the beginning of The NOAA Agenda show, which means it is time to chip in again during these breaking bombshell beginning of the end times. The donation finally catapults me to knighthood after all these years of normal amygdala development and sanity."

1:18:20 Shamborsan and dark chocolates we a perfect addition to the roundtable. What is that shamborsan? No, what you look it up and then add it no I've already ordered it But I figured I mean I don't know why I don't know what it looks like I don't know if I'm gonna put it in front of the right seat could be a gobble goo for all You know where I would like to sit as this sir sir Savoir savour savor savour I don't know save or of the Yadkin Valley grapes hmm In recognition of a surprisingly spectacular vintage being produced in the region. This is a wine, this is a type of grape! You should know this. I should know it but I don't. Where's Yadkin Valley? I don't know that either. How do you spell it? Y-A-D-K-I-N

1:19:14 Yet a Atkin North Carolina. Oh, it's in North Carolina product. No, I guess the North Carolina This is I'm gonna tell you on this side here. I noticed when I first went to Bordeaux in 1973 and A lot of the vineyards that weren't the great vineyards where every grape news worth thousands of dollars But in many of the small vineyards, they had side by side growing with the grapes in Bordeaux. I don't think you can see this anymore and I don't think I've seen it since tobacco. So you have a little vineyard and a tobacco field all in the Bordeaux area. And I have always said well that's interesting that you can grow tobacco where you grow these grapes

1:20:00 And I've always had it in the back of my mind, so when we went to North Carolina which is a tobacco growing state and found that they were switching a lot of these tobacco fields to grapes. and I visited a lot of wineries there. I visit more barbecue places than wineries, I will admit but I went to a lot of winers and the wine was quite good! And it was made with kind of a lack of self-assurance low self esteem you know is this any... Well your from California, you must know about this so here try this and try that and try this as if everyone from California's a wine expert

1:20:38 And in fact, the wine was very good. And I think they can grow some good grapes up there in North Carolina. I think eventually it would be seen as one of the great wine growing areas of the world. I think that tobacco has something to do with it. It's a...it's in the earth. I think there is something to do with it. In the earth, very nice! But I don't know what this Chambourcin is anyways. Well, Chambourcin is a grape from France originally. Huh? Yeah It's probably a good wine they're making in some of the areas. I noticed this when i was in Texas, I hate to keep going off the track but people will appreciate some of this uh so I'm in the hill country going they got a bunch of wineries there all over the place and vodka distilleries yes we have a lot of deep thing on the hill vodka yep

1:21:22 Yeah, it's one of the best in the world. And so I went to all these little wineries and didn't buy anything because for one thing they're overpriced and they're not that good but it's interesting that they've taken a liking to growing Tempranillo outside of Austin, Texas and every winery made some of it. And it seems to take well to Texas and Tempranillo is the grape that's mostly grown in Spain to make the great Riojas and other wines but so Texas has potential for that particular grape anyway on

1:21:59 Onward. Sorry. I like it, everybody loves it John! Don't listen to what they say. You've been de-douched.

Love and light Knight Bruce. All right Bruce thank you.

1:33:35 And last but not least is Chris G, $200. ITM, Gent's first donation was hit in the mouth by a co-worker... Oh hold on! Hold on! First donation? We gotta dedouche! You've been dedouched I am going to make it clear that i disagree with this policy Really?! I think it has to be requested Okay, I'm sorry. I thought we had treated this differently in the past. I must be remiss No, I don't think you did. I just don't think it's ever been expressed Okay tickets come up that often most people ask for the de-douching and Some people have said I don't want to deducing because they haven't given enough money and we didn't deduce okay? I will no longer Unrequested unrequested deducing is off the table

1:34:32 Okay, toad but his douche deducing has been put into the into the wild so he's been deduced it did happen Yeah So he's nothing we can do about it He was hitting him out by a co-worker one year ago didn't not get much of this show at first It was interesting, but appreciated the deconstruction in humor now Stop stop. Did you? Did not get much of the show at first but appreciated the deconstruction and humor. What else is the show? This is like our two main points, like let's deconstruct... That's a kind of an interesting observation. Alright but I- What else IS there?! What else are we doing? What is it you liked so much please will do more of it! Huh

1:35:18 Now I get it and love it. Requesting Jobs Karma for my youngest human resource on her upcoming interview, also goat screamin' your little girl yay! Thanks Chris G. Absolutely and thank you for your courage and for your support. Jobs jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs! You thought... Karma. Yay!!! You know I wonder what the mechanism is that you listen to the show and you don't get it, but you keep listening because there's something about it. There are some reasons why people listen to the show... A lot of people listen to this guys are nuts! They're a couple of jerks? No I think it goes more like this they hear so and this is a problem admittedly it's a problem

1:36:08 But anyone who is told, hey this is a great podcast. There's no agenda and they have no political agenda but they deconstruct the news and it starts off with... I can understand its jarring We have had that complaint early on. You know, because you guys make it... And the complaint was that this show is trivial because you started off like a morning zoo. Right! That's part of the problem I think But there were reasons to do that and those reasons are still valid Oh yes they're valid but then i'm also always amazed

1:36:51 when we do 14 minutes of talk about Linux Mint distros and people still show up, and actually a lot of them appreciated our biannual Linux Talk. Well, I said at the time after the show. I said to you I'll bet you some people will check out this ultimate Linux 19 and They will get back to me and say that's really I'm glad just told us about that And guess what? well nothing I Got well, I got a lot of email a lot Yeah Of course a lot of it is

1:37:33 Well, you know that's downstream three levels. You don't want that you want Arch Linux That's what the bad boys have yes So there's a lot of that but it's appreciated because I could know there are some questions that I had and people would answer But anyway, the point being at what point is it and maybe people could email us this What? Well, you listen to it. You probably didn't get it right away What was it that was either holding your back or what wasn't that that made click? Oh Because I think you're right. There's something that happens that people say, oh, I see and I don't know what it is 12 years this

1:38:13 I've held this job down longer than any job have ever done in my entire life. Just want you to realize that almost three times as long as any job i've had and it's a job, we actually talk for six hours a week which is non-trivial for generally broadcasters talk for an hour a day. Well thats just the talking part forget the rest. And its talking talking talking Yeah, it's interesting. There is no doubt about it has some there something magical Well, magical for sure. And a lot of that magic is directly attributable to the people we just heard from our executive producers and associate executive producers for this episode 1195 of The No Agenda Show because it is your podcast! That's the big difference that we put in. We don't have listeners. We have producers and then everybody else. And of course you start to call these people douchebags. That was...that's on you but that's what producers get to do

1:39:09 that's the big difference. That's why it's working and We'll be thanking more of these fine folks in our second half, our second donation segment But for this please recognize that these credits are valuable and you can use them in places that can do good for you including putting them in your LinkedIn description And if you are so inclined If you would like to be an executive or associate executive producer of no agenda show 1196 Please go to vorac.org Slash and a and I promise you no more mint Linux talk of this show Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Yeah, I do want to be see I had to back you off on that because they do have to say one more thing Oh about Linux About this mint Linux ultimate So I'm really you're really gonna. Do this okay?

1:40:13 just because I forgot to do it last time. So, I've got this Mint Linux and I'm just playing around with it and so I type a document, you know LibreOffice document. And I said what happens if we go to the printer? And so I hit print... It worked right away! It worked right away. I know, and I didn't have to go find a printer and had to load any drivers it's a Epson printers the next P950 it just worked! And that was what stunned me the most Okay well since you brought it up... I too am still on Lubuntu I'm very happy. Please forgive me Yes now not about anything about Linux but I was thinking

1:40:57 That and maybe that maybe this does exist. Maybe I'm so out of touch But when I was growing up we had classes in school, we had woodworking We had shop you know we had home economics which meant cooking and stuff There should be a class and maybe there is I would just call it tech or technology class And you enter this class. You're given a laptop and A CD, and you're told okay? You're going to create the perfect computer for you And you're going to learn how to do that in this class and of course you know it starts with choosing a distro of Linux and then customizing it because

1:41:40 The more I realize how incredibly shackled I was by the two predominant operating systems, and Linux is now finally the place where I can actually use it. And I'm not saying this lightly—I've tried many times over the past years—and in fact, I would say that way to do it is just get your VirtualBox for free and try it because you can't break anything. You don't have to boot anything on your drive and it'll work just fine at least for testing and probably even better than that But we should be teaching kids the actual basics of how this stuff works because they're dealing with it in their everyday life. And you know, when I look at a smartphone... ...I can see all the things that are taking place and how it comes to-how the information eventually... ...you know is comes back onto my screen and there's tremendous benefit to that! There's tremendous benefit to the creativity you'll have in the future if you really understand how things work but this is not being taught and the only way to learn it

1:42:39 And boy is Linux a great way to learn how this stuff works because you actually have to get your hands dirty to make it work. It's just a thought maybe it exists. Maybe classes are doing this I know we would have heard of it Well, there in fact what you said which is the same when I was a kid they had wood shop Mm-hmm They had metal shop they had auto shop Yeah Auto Shop sure and all the kids would learn how to tune cars into whatever he wanted eat and they had home home Economics right? And it was a it was a room full of

1:43:15 Now the problem is, while I'm saying this of course we're about 30 years too late because Apple and Microsoft and now Google with Chrome OS have completely swamped the educational system and are eating your children alive literally. Because you are a slave to how they want you to do things just try and install Windows 10 out-of-the box these days they try to suck you into creating an online account with Microsoft no matter what you try I think you should take this computer shop class and actually extend it so you actually build your own box. That's what that's what i just said! Well, you said take a laptop... You gave them a laptop? No no, you give them a computer... Oh, you mean the actual built- Okay yeah why not?! Yeah get a CPU... How about just a Raspberry Pi? This is fantastic! It's cheap to do! But I'd like to see a real computer come out of this! Yeah but you're old school

1:44:10 Well, raspberry pie and those little nudnik things. And some of these other little devices also fun are do we knows or whatever the hell they're called? Let them strap stuff onto it and learn about this stuff. They teach none of this for Christmas please for Christmas give your child one of these raspberry pie startup kits for kids you will not regret it maybe you will but I anyway I think that we're... this whole idea of learn to code. No! You've got to understand how the stuff works, make it work for you. Learn to code is a scam? Of course it's a scam. Well, a scam. It's do you want to be an obedient tech worker or do you want to be the next genius to wear a turtleneck

1:45:02 So, while we're talking about Brexit a minute ago I do have this little sub clip because we've talked about this on the show and you've always been baffled by it. And I was baffled with my friends in England that keep coming up... Ah yes! I know exactly what this is about This is about the leaked documents isn't it? Well this is in this case the clip is very short one but its WTF clip play it. Jeremy Corbyn also says he's obtained documents that reveal Britain's National Health Service could be up for sale in a post-Brexit trade deal with the United States Yeah, this is the big scandal apparently A trade document between the US and UK leaked out And we already heard this rumor like they're selling out the national health system! A year ago?

1:45:50 So of course it's selling out the NHS, Trump is going to take it over. Well no, it has to do with the pharmaceutical industry and they feel like it's not advantageous I do not know what's going on but it is not advantageous for the UK according to the socialists yeah well while we're on this topic of trade and dirty dealings and big industry I had a little bit of chance to go back and look at some of the vaping roundtable that the president had. you know he was about to sign a document that kind of or some regulation was going to effect I don't think there was a law per se but of course they do want a law, to ban the flavored vape liquids because oh it's how the children how they're getting addicted to nicotine all this on the heels of the great vaping disaster people dying from vaping went away pretty quick as you can tell we cured it somehow

1:46:50 And only in America, no one died anywhere else. Don't vape in China don't vape in Europe don't vape in the UK but they only died here And the first sightings in North Carolina of the I-Quas store already popping up. That's... Oh, the test market! North Carolina? Well very important because this is still all about tobacco and the reason the vape industry—I'm just gonna recap for people who haven't been along for the ride—the vape industry was kneecapped —that's a good one—kneecapped because the tobacco industry, which is quite big in billions of dollars terms makes no money on nicotine. They need to sell leaf they need to sell the plant they need to sell tobacco that is necessary to generate revenue The states need to get that revenue because I've already written bonds against it That revenue was taxes but its also for death there's extra special money that the tobacco companies pay

1:47:51 nicotine to be taxed, but that's really not what it is about. It is big tobacco beating down the innovators, beating down the little man who just wants to inhale water vapor! And here's what Romney at the round table, Romney all of a sudden Romney is in the room with Trump and he has got a big mouth. Jewel removed mango in September 2018 and youth use grows it was the number one most popular product on market flavors are not issue they are attractive to you kids how about children? Yes sir! We've got almost 6 million kids addicted to nicotine and there getting addicted to nicotine because of flavors 66% of the kids

1:48:31 Addicted to these products are saying they didn't even know it had nicotine in it. They thought it was just a candy type product It's the flavor of the straw that kids need, and its health emergency I salute the fact that Juul has said we're taking these products off the market because we care about our kids The adults have access to menthol products What? What did Romney's firm Bain Capital do in the past? Let me think.

1:49:31 and aiding two other tobacco titans to dominate the Russian market. Romney's consultants helped foreign firms and aspiring oligarchs decide how to quarrel Russia's riches, including writing an official manual that outlined how best to navigate the process. At the same time, Bain leveraged its contacts with senior Russian officials to arrange sweetheart deals for its tobacco clients Of course, he's always been a shill for big tobacco and he is in the room as a senator shilling for his former clients. I'm somewhat outraged Oh you are not outraged You know what? You expect this from that guy He is a douchebag Yes let me douche him Now lets... One thing there I just kind of chuckled about

1:50:17 Which was, he said the 66% of the kids smoking these things vaping. Didn't even know there was nicotine involved. 60s, I know! These kids know nicotine's involved that's why they're doing it and then he goes... I applaud Juul for taking the flavors off the market He is in cahoots with Juul The whole idea was to strangle Juul To buy them and smother that shit into the ground so we can bring our new

1:50:54 smokeless tobacco. Iquos, smokeless tobacco coming to a store near you people kids will love it! Oh they're gonna ram it down everybody's throats? We'll see... John apparently there may be a comeback to the vape apparently well okay so first of all apparently people who have vaped and have smoked love the Iquos it is apparently a great hit So that I don't know. I don't know either, I'm just telling you what I've heard so the product is supposed to be good but... But that could be propaganda your hearing! Listen look here's the deal Trump was about to sign some kind of regulation or legislation he stopped and said well hold on we need and it was after this meeting

1:51:47 We need to think of, you know why? Because he hates Romney so much. He sees what's going on and is like I'm not gonna give this to you Romney! I'm not gonna give this vaping to you! Yeah...I'm pretty sure you might be right Of course I am! Of course! Now- Cause' he doesn't like Romney. Romney is a...pretty much of a horrible person A slime ball! It's a slime ball! He swarms me And he's in with the tobacco guys and he's a Mormon, then they should be doing everything to stop all tobacco products. So that doesn't make any sense? It's like the drug dealer who refuses to use the drugs he sells. I hate drugs! These drugs are terrible would you like to buy some? Exactly... exactly

1:52:36 Since we've already joked about it several times, I do have a couple of dropped tea clips that i wanted to share. Now this was from a recent protest in Greenville earlier this week. A problem which I will say that I believe feminine hygiene products should have a lower or no tax rate and I'm all for that You know, this really the cost of feminine hygiene products are an outrage and I feel bad that women have this secret tax really just a tax on their life but okay men have other things.

1:53:17 But there's the pronunciation issue which came into play in this clip. Three-quarters of women think that tampon tax should be a thing of the past, with 67% of them saying it is a form of sexism One poll conducted a study of 2,000 women who have had periods on behalf of intimidia and it's not just financially where women feel like they're cheated 3 in 5 women said their school sex ed class did not prepare them for their periods And they are NOT here for stigma surrounding menstruation with 37 percent saying talking about it is still taboo. In fact, a quarter said they've seen or heard someone say women shouldn't come to work when they're on their period. Somewhat surprisingly women 18-24 were most likely to think society still sees it as quote shameful according to the Intimina study and it affects the way women talk about menstruation too with more than half saying they're more comfortable using a euphemism like quote monthly visitor when discussing it so

1:54:05 So even though 8 in 10 women said discussing menstruation openly and honestly is important, it seems we have a ways to go. Why are you so fired up to support Trump? I'm a big Trump supporter. I didn't really get into voting until Trump became president in 2016 and i'm just excited it'll be my first rally, I just wanted to come out and support him! I'm really proud of everything he's doing and hope he's able to keep it for more years. Support him... Support Him Yeah So partially it sounds like there is a southern thing to it

1:54:48 There's also a British thing. I think Love Island UK has not been helpful and I had a clip, now I don't know what happened to it this is kind of unfortunate...I had a clip from South Park from 1998 let me just see what the heck happened to this yeah do another one of my great setups John! Yeah You should have this clip lined up before you know Lilliquy I have here's the thing. I have the whole Everything opened up, I'm ready to go it's like my it's like a running gag on the show now It's not even that funny. I've done it a couple of times really I'm pissed at myself Oh My favorite one is where I have this great clip? I want to play and somehow I miss edited it or you have liked it last three seconds That's the best way to go but

1:55:43 Oh man, okay. Well and then I have... that was kind of my payoff going into... well i'll go into this bit then. God damn it! South Park apparently had an episode in 1998 where uh where this was discussed. I'll look for that when we play this clip which is from a Netflix special The Keeper and I watched yesterday or the day before. Was it Mike Birbiglia? He's a comedian, and he all of a sudden he rolls into this bit that is something that we really have taken issue with on this show And it shows up in donation notes all the time! The instructor was like what's the most exciting thing about having baby Which is a new thing for us where they don't say THE baby They're just like

1:56:34 baby we were like we just want baby to live. We don't have high hopes for this thing because we went to hospital and we spoke with doctor and she did test it's touch-and-go at moment Yeah, that's good. So I found the clip but for some reason it doesn't show up in my... Let me see if i can play directly from the drive. I knew I hadn't forgotten it Will it play? Yes. Here we go, South Park 1998. Hello children! My name is Dr Adams Welcome to the planetarium I thought it was planetarium Well it is But I have a bone disease which impedes my ability to pronounce the T in planetarium That's a pretty weird bone disease yes perhaps someday I can get a bone marrow transplant So they were doing it back then

1:57:34 Yeah, well it's I think it's been installed. You listen to these linguists that guy who berated us they think is some sort of a trend but I don't know that as a trend anymore than saying university or thinking about that the other day oh I went to university yeah you can say went to college You say I went to the university, I'm in the university. Not in the college... you can say I'm in the college and certain situations most of time are like oh he went to college! He went to university it should be the same why am I so upset about this misusage? There's one other minor gripe that I have that I'm hearing more and more is anyways. I love anyways! That's second to any who

1:58:24 But anyways is said with sincerity, not as any who was... All right. Well fine It's mocking but you know talking about bad language Talking about people that kind of talk funny out of class Let's talk about Joe Biden Oh yeah! This is clip-of-the century I had to go back and say this has gotta be a deepfake This can't..this cannot be true It could be a deepfake. I thought about this too, because there's no real documentation for this but it has been going around and it is the kind of thing he would do? Yeah well did you see... There was a clip running around of him being introduced on the stage and this old woman had her hands out and then he nips at her finger That's his wife! Isn't it?!

1:59:15 Is that his wife? Oh, it's Jill. Well whatever the case is she standing there and she's throwing her arm out It's almost like a comedy act where she says and then we get Mr. Bynum And she puts her hand out in the air right in front of his face like somebody in a cheap Benny Hill skit If its' his wife then it's okay...whatever Yeah I think it was his wife Still kind of odd The whole thing was funny but you know give some humor But this particular clip here which Weeks should play is the worst. And by the way, you know I sit on a stand and it get hot. I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun and the kids used to come up reach in the pool and rub my leg down so straight and then watch the hair come back up again they look at it So I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap and I've loved kids jumping on my lap

2:00:31 And I tell you what, the men are now all men. The guys that work with down here and they're all guys at the time They were all good man most of them made an awful lot themselves. And Earl Larkin had a rough time Some of you knew Earl. I came back as a public defender He just rambles like this now. This could be a deep fake and it wouldn't surprise me well I've seen but he could all but it's one of those things that's believable Well, yeah, I've seen full-length versions of this and as part of his corn pop speech Which is why it's surprising and it's only showing up now because this was part of the corn pop in the end the chain and whoop his ass

2:01:16 I did get an ISO. It's creepy, of course! Okay...I'm putting it right into the ISO slot already knowing it's gonna win. I got hairy legs! Yeah beautiful. Wait a minute? I have an ISO from the New Orleans thing too which I sent as late clips which is today was breaking news they were had a shooting in New Orleans and like play the ISO from that clip. Uh wait oh yes here we go Please no, do not drink and drive. No. Okay then you're the- Are you kidding me? Hairy legs beats drinking and driving any old day. I got hairy legs! Yeah yeah yeah

2:01:57 Terry, oh yeah. Back to Biden we do have a Biden campaign rundown off of NBC which we should play and it's got a little Kamala Harris thing at the end which I want to comment on. ...are investigating the motive... now presidential candidates are back on the road crisscrossing the country among them Joe Biden hoping to make a splash with a big push in Iowa here's Kelly O'Donnell Today in Iowa, the Joe Biden campaign bus on an eight day 18 county tour of the first caucus state trying to rev up his lagging poll numbers beginning in council bluffs. I promise you

2:02:38 We're gonna win this race. His new ride branded in Biden speak as the no malarkey tour, he says to contrast President Trump. The reason we named it No Malarkey is because the other guy's all lies many but not all Democratic hopefuls hitting the trail across the country with stakes high for early state voters Anything anyone says could make or break what I feel about them as candidates. I haven't committed yet, but we have so many good candidates running Also in Iowa today Kamala Harris at a Des Moines house party We have the ability to unlock the promise of our country

2:03:20 We have the ability, this is she's never said anything of substance. We have the ability to unlock the promise whatever that is of our country. A what does that mean and B why didn't Obama do it? He was in there for eight years at a Des Moines house party. We had the ability to unlock the promise of our country Yeah I mean they gave Obama the key We have the ability to unlock. What is the promise of our country that needs to be unlocked? Well, Harris is done for I'm sure you saw that the resignation letter from one from one of her campaign managers. No, she resigned saying if the leadership's not there...I think she bolted to...where did she go to? She went to someone else's campaign

2:04:16 Think Buddha judge. Oh yeah, it's a mess over there! It's a total mess! Kamala Harris cannot organize her own campaign She is no good... she is just no good we knew it She had a pretty face, you know the ha-ha-ha she kind of the Hillary wave and it fell apart. And I thank Tulsi Gabbard for ripping that apart within... what was that debate two? Or is it first one? Yeah, I think we'd know as debate 2. Yes she, that's what Tulsi Gabbard brought down Kamala Harris. Because Kamala went after Biden for not being a good for being a racist or something. And she really went after him hard and it was unexpected because everyone was really happy with each other. So then the next debate, Tulsi goes after her and everyone's like oh I'm glad somebody is doing it you know? I'm glad somebody's going after her Biden was probably very happy and that was the end of Kamala The defector went to Bloomberg so she went to Bloomberg campaign

2:05:18 So Kamala's campaign has fallen apart. But there was some interesting news in the New York Times about a group, a dark money group with 70...with a 75 million dollar ad campaign. The groups name is Acronym They also have a put now. That's a 501 c3 corporation So we do not actually know who the donors are so we don't know who's providing this 75 million But they also have a political action committee, which is a 501 C4 company called Pacro nim and

2:05:57 And we do know some of those donors, but everyone's trying to figure out who has put the $75 million together which is going to be spent specifically on winning seats and elections for Democrats. So, so for local elections, for state elections and they claim on their acronym website anotheracronym.org they claim that they have all that there already have been responsible for 65 Democrats winning elections in the past I think year or two whatever they say here. So we're not quite sure

2:06:37 So it's a shadowy group. Very shadowy, but we do know because of the the pacronym they do have to publish their donors and I'll tell you two million came from the National Democratic Redistricting Committee that's a political nonprofit run by Eric Holder Obama's first attorney general $300,000 from Dollar Shave Club See What else well? the funny here the The list Newsweb Corporation 1.5 million Fred I chaner do you know him oh

2:07:23 Yeah. United Food and Commercial Workers Union, 1.3 million at the top 2.6 million is Soros Fund Management so you kind of get the idea who's probably in on this big ad but yeah I did hate to start off with them every time but I did pull a couple of these ads and i think they're worth discussing because I find them to be It's highly racist. So the idea is these ads are supposed to get you to knock the vote, knock-the-dot vote and to get Democrats out and voting but not just any old Democrats no this is the white Democrat because you guys are dumb we start with a scene two children with lemonade stand in front of their house black man comes along

2:08:10 One dollar a cup, fresh squeezed! Right here. Oh hi sir would you like lemonade? Uh would you like another two years of the... You got a permit for that?! I'm just playing. You guys voting this November? Um iIm sorry we're actually quite busy right now but can I get you a gluten-free cookie or maybe some organic? 9-1-1? I'd like to report a suburban educated white woman out here selling lemonade with her kids They talking about they're not voting. I need you to get down here and investigate because this is ridiculous And could you hurry please? I feel threatened So does the rest of black America I thought there's a lot of powerful stuff in this. There's a white woman, heck! A white woman who doesn't want to vote and i'm-I feel threatened and so does the rest of black America? Uh next commercial three uh clearly... Is this supposed to impress somebody or get them to

2:08:57 think other than the fact this is like a douchebag operation? Well, let's continue and we'll decide. I've only picked three of the series there are quite a few of them and these professionally produced by the way another 30 second We see three young women white with Lululemons on in the park posing for selfies in the traditional manner you would see black man walks by Excuse me So just to be very clear, this black guy calling out the white women

2:09:55 But they also do some ageism, which is kind of cool. What you'll see here is all boomers all in their I would say 70's these faces are close up beautifully shot very nice beautiful characteristic Faces of people yeah, that's a 65 to 75 year old range but close-up looking right into the camera Dear young people don't vote don't vote everything's fine the way it is Trump That was us. He's our guy! Tax cuts for the rich? Hell yeah, I'm rich as fuck! Climate change... that's a you problem

2:10:31 I'll be dead soon. Sure, school shootings are sad! But i haven't been in a school for 50 years... I can't keep track of which lives matter. Sure you don't like it so you'll like some meme on instagram if the weather is nice maybe you could go to one of those little marches You might even share this video on facebook. What do you want from me? You young people never do what I do I do. I do! Midterms, primaries... Every single election will be there but you won't because we're a generation of doers not whiners and we're doing great

2:11:11 Very ominous music at the end there. Bill? Yeah I like the one line in there of the woman, for one thing they make him all sound senile which is probably not gonna vote but that's okay but the woman says I can't even keep track of what lives matter Well, it's very aggressive at 75 million is not gonna get you very far But it's a valiant effort and creatively as I think they're pretty funny. That means racist ageist everything you'd You'd expect everything that Democrats play in and

2:11:47 A couple more things here. Nate Silver from 538 Media, the genius, the statistician that everybody is all jitty about who... Yeah once upon a time... He completely missed the entire Donald Trump phenomenon he says on the tweeters keep in mind that the subtext hell maybe just THE text of the Bloomberg campaign is to facilitate a brokered convention It's not competing in the early states. Instead, it's hoping for a chaotic outcome there than it hopes to have a brokered convention." Now we've posited this ourselves... Posited we did! And that still could be and it could be in combination that Bloomberg is in there too pave the way for the swoop I don't know they could be getting ready for the Hillary swoop

2:12:45 It seems like something is kind of up with Hillary. Now if there was an inkling of her re-entering the race, every television media organization is going to be somewhat careful with disparaging her since she will hold purse strings if she swoops in. She'll have a lot of money to spend and the political season is when mainstream media makes their money it's bigger than Christmas, it's a lot bigger than Christmas they it's Christmas every two years or four years for your market an election appropriately

2:13:26 And Fox News is clearly feeling something is possible. They had Anna Paulina on, she's from Turning Point USA so you know these are very anti-leftist people, anti Democrats specifically This is just a kind of a chopped-up version of what happened recently when she said something about Hillary Clinton and then listen to what the Fox News host says. Of course, she should be investigated There's plenty of evidence that Hillary obstructed justice by destroying evidence in a gross and massive way Joining us now Anna Paulina director of Hispanic engagement at Turning Point USA And Doug Schoen Fox News contributor and former pollster for President Bill Clinton Good morning to you both and happy Thanksgiving

2:14:12 They think it's only fair. I'm all for starting a Clinton investigation! I am just amazed that with everything going on in the world, we still have Hillary Clinton in the headlines. Well she won't go away... She likes herpes So because the girl says Hillary Clinton won't go away like herpes, they cut the segment short. throw her off completely and then in the next hour you want to reiterate that we do not condone the language that Anna Paulina just displayed here, and we apologize to Secretary Clinton for that Fox News does not contend condone hers sentiments This is the strongest evidence. We've ever had that she's coming back into the race when Fox is sucking up to her for that

2:15:08 There's some- Holy crap! That's Clip of the Day. Oh, well thank you that's... I agree with you! That was a great catch. Well especially the second one. The second one nails it No it has a 1 2 punch is obviously not a just one good clip but it was part of a process. So she says that she won't go away, like herpes you won't go away which is I don't know... It's not even a funny joke! Is that off-color? It's like 1980s Paul Provenza material yeah it's not you know contemporary. Hold on a second

2:15:45 How about my comedy reference? Yeah, I don't even get that. But you know it's like a bad penny she could have said or whatever doesn't make any sense anymore as archaic Like bad Mexican lunch oh that would be racist i'm sorry It was like herpes. It keeps coming back like bad mexican but I mean I would have said well that's I mean there's a lot of ways to handle that but it's not obscene Well they thought it was really inappropriate So Hillary's still being protected even by Fox. Buddha judge Mary Pete got a huge hit job from the root

2:16:25 Because of course we know the problem with the elections in general will be the black American vote. The black voters was going to make this happen and the fight is on now with blacks for Trump, and you know well who actually has the blacks with the Democrats? And Mary Pete got butt-slammed by The Root! It really related, I mean it was a total hit job. It was something that Buttigieg had said in 2012 or 2013 and Michael Harriot from The Root had said Pete Buttigieg lies like an MF-er. And I won't say the word because we try not to use that on the show

2:17:12 So this warranted a quick explanation on the Joy Reid show, which is always fun to have two black people talking about a white guy who can't attract black people. It's just a beautiful fest over there at MSNBC After Michael Harriot of The Root penned a scathing response to comments that Buttigieg made back in 2011 about black children and education. In a roundtable interview with no people of color present, Buttigieg opined that kids in minority neighborhoods haven't seen the education system work and they lack role models who can personally testify to the value of education Harriet's response was scathing. He wrote that Buttigieg knowingly failed to address the structural and institutional factors which create education inequality, instead placing the blame on the black community itself a kind of Paul Ryan-ish culture critique. Buttigieg, to his credit responded to the trending piece by calling Harriet to have discussion but the article landed right in the middle of a larger problem for the young mayor who has become a media favorite and boasts growing support from mainly older white voters in places like Iowa

2:18:15 but who has struggled to gain support from black voters. Without Rich, it's real hard to become the Democratic nominee and joining me now is Michael Harriot senior writer at The Root. Michael it is great to have you on the show welcome um so let's talk about this this piece that she wrote that went everywhere I got texted by about 400 people. To be honest... I got texted by about 400 people. why these problems exist. And so when you're the fear of black voters is that when they get into these annals of power and they get into these rooms, and they'll start talking about fixing the education problem in America this is what will happen. They'll say well you know they need some role models or maybe they just need some after school programs on we know it's a problem

2:19:12 of institutional inequality that fits into the history of racism in America. But what a nasty thing to do. Pull a clip from eight, nine years ago and then say this guy's... It's shit! It's abhorrent. It's really shameful. You know they want to get this guy marginalized a little bit because the race right now is for vice president and Cory Booker is targeting it

2:19:48 And so you want a black guy in there. So let's go after anyone who is a possibility, I mean you have the opportunity, whoever nominated president is gonna be a white guy and from what we can tell it's gonna be Bloomberg or Biden, Sanders... The white guy Hillary. White Guy Hillary. Well Hillary is kind of coming late but so you wanna start moving things around a little bit to get the right vice president candidate. So what do we have to have? We have to have a candidate that's contrasty, so you could have Warren which no one wants to deal with her, so she's done but you could have a woman any woman would do. You can have a gay male white guy because he is actually minority insofar as these guys the way they think with their identity politics

2:20:46 or a black guy. So Buttigieg is the target to get out of the way so you can get a black guy in there, so we can maybe get Cory Booker and the idea would be that of course you're gonna either have Biden or Sanders as say the president or Biden just front runner although he could be taken out or Bloomberg but Biden is probably not going to last four years Well, of course. Yeah right and but Stacey Abrams why wouldn't it be her? Wouldn't she be a perfect VP pick? You're the only one that's pushing this by the way. When was she mentioned in that piece you just ran? Ahhhh... She is just as swoopy as Hillary!

2:21:22 She's not going anywhere. Well, I do have a nice piece to understand Mayor Bloomberg's thinking just in case anyone was interested in him This is from last year this was the IMF spring meeting 2018 this is when Fifi Lagarde This is a great clip. Fifi Lagarde was still the ruler over there at the IMF, but she had this little presentation where she does one-on-one with Lagarde and she has her one on one chat on stage with Michael Bloomberg and they're talking about taxing people and really taxing the poor

2:21:58 Because of course no matter who's coming in certainly on the Democratic side Republican side probably as well They're coming after you they're gonna raise taxes something has to happen With their system at least with this old thinking this elitist thinking so here's two of the most elitist people I could think of Christine Lagarde and Michael Bloomberg talking about Taxing the poor slaves and listen all the way to the end taxes are regressive, but in this case Yes, they are. That's the good thing about I'm sorry what does it actually mean when they say taxes are regressive?

2:22:36 That means that you, progressive taxes means that the tax rate goes up. Right? As you get as you pay make more and more money your tax goes up and it increases. Somebody low gets 10%, somebody up gets 50%. But that's progressive That's progress. Regressive is the other way around where everybody either gets taxed the same or there is no progress, or their taxes actually go down as you make more money. Taxes are regressive but in this case Yes, they are. That's the good thing about them because the problem is in people that don't have a lot of money and so higher taxes should have a bigger impact on their behavior and how they deal with themselves So I listen to people saying oh we don't want to tax the poor

2:23:27 Well, we want the poor to live longer so that they can get an education and enjoy life. And that's why you do want to do exactly what a lot of people say you don't wanna do. The question is, Do you wanna pander to those people or do you wanna get them to live longer? There's just no question if you raise taxes on full sugary drinks for example they will drink less And there's just no question that full sugar drinks are one of the major contributors to obesity, and obesity is one of the major contributors to heart disease and cancer and a variety of other things. So it's like saying I don't want to stop using coal because coal miners will go out of work

2:24:13 Well, we'll lose their jobs We have a lot of soldiers in the United States and the US Army But we don't want to go start a war just to give them something to do And that's exactly what you're saying when you say well Let's keep coal killing people because we don't want Coal miners lose their jobs. The truth of matter is there aren't very many coal miners left anyways and we can find other things for them to do but the comparison is a life or a job, or taxes, or life. Which do you want to do? Take your poison! So it's regressive... It is good Now this is my favorite part. It is regressive..it is good so they're going to now justify taxing poor people so that they can tell them how to live their lives because you're stupid and you're poor You should want to live longer and listen to us!! Which do you want to do take your poison?! So its regressive....It is good

2:25:09 There are lots of tax experts in the room and fiscal experts, and I'm very pleased that they hear you say that. And they all say there's two things in life which are absolutely certain one is death the other one is tax so you use one to defer the other one? That's correct okay that is exactly right well said genius Genius, genius! This is essentially the king taxing the peasants to save their lives because if they don't pay their taxes these peasants will kill them. Exactly

2:25:50 This is a good for you, peasant. Here, peasant give us what little money you have there we go and now will say it... We will take the sword away from your throat and we will return next year to collect more money! You have just gotten one year of extra life! Congratulations stupid poor person!

Chicago, by the way is our number one location for no agenda listeners according to MailChimp. Nice! Really? Yeah. Huh. Who knew? I did not figure that out

2:37:11 The meetup reports need to be shorter or they need to be accompanied by some audio just because people are going to get pissed off when there's start, hey you didn't read my meetup report! So I'm going to do this one from the Hague. This was from Robin from the Dunes of The Hague last Friday. A successful first meetup in The Hague, great location a bit dark good beer and nibbles interesting people and interesting stories we produced some no agenda signs to lure our producers but they were not sufficient luckily Samuel the Beastmaster wore his slave shirt and acting as a beacon

2:37:49 once in a while, while chatting in the morning did also help. Twelve producers showed up among the deuce bags were knights and even barons and almost barons good crowd we had guests from Sydney Australia Harlem New York Rurmond Ousgese The Hague distances were not important most attendees have IT related professions there was also someone from a national intelligence service A smash cart salesman? What's a smash cart I'll tell you something by the way at all meetups one spook appears. Oh, yeah You have to spot the spook you got to play of the game And they're and they're also keeping tabs making sure we're doing it right now many were very conversational

Smash cart salesman several government and travel industry professionals if we book our travels through the last one we can get cheap tickets there you go while our inside contact saves up credits that she will donate fully to the No Agenda show I will say it's a win-win and there's a lot more to this note which is a little too much for today's program but thank you very much Robin great work and you know it's interesting Producer Chris sent me the No Agenda Sydney meetup Gitmo Nation National Anthem again. I save this file, then put it into my system... ...I check that it works! I check it before the show and now I go to put it into the player and again it says error unknown format. I do not understand unsupported files. This is the weirdest thing- It worked! And now it doesn't work anymore

2:39:33 There was that intelligence guy. This is, that's very frustrating... It allowed you to play it once! Yes its self-destructed after one play this is very odd okay well I can't play it again for Chris I don't know and I'm sorry I'm gonna have to re record my own version Yeah, so we got that and then for everybody who requested it.

Of course, we already have the files. Yeoman! I like saying yeoman. I like yeoman but it's yeoman. And with that... This reminds me of my mispronunciation when i was a kid of Chouse Chouse? Yeah, chouse. I'd look at it and read it and say oh, chouse. I don't know what the hell that means. Was that choose? Chaos! Oh ha! Chouse to you but climate chouse now we finally got her Climate chouse! Climate chouse... I'm writing that one down Yes, that's a good one Climate chouse

2:43:26 How old were you when I read it? I still said shouse to myself. Really?! Yeah, it wasn't until college do I realize that was chaos! All right, do you want to roll us out with one last clip before we do end of show mixes which are nice? I might point. Oh by the way What was it like the last and the show mix? I think there was a song Epstein didn't kill himself a punk rock in a classic 80 style Punk Rock beautiful song written I said to you that could song is commercial Are we gonna have to pay ASCAP fees but then you told me it's one of our guys Written by sir Ducifer Rob do and performed by The False Flags now Outstanding! It was very good.

2:44:11 Very very good. Well, I've got a couple of things. I've got the blood bodies I can push off but let me think if there's one here that well Let's get catch up with oh, well, I could do a riots report just about three short clips Well, I'm afraid I can't do the music anymore. I'm afraid to do that because we get pushed back and complaints So well We don't want to do this museum play the riot read let's do the right reports get him out of the way This is riots in Colombia All right I'm gonna have to start flying my airship! In Colombia, anti-government protesters have called for another national strike today after talks between a protest committee and right-wing President Iván Duque failed. Massive protests have rocked Colombia for six straight days last week—hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets for the largest national strike Columbia has seen in decades. Four people have been killed so far, including 18-year old student Dilan Cruz who was shot in the head by a police projectile.

2:45:10 Ouch, ouch. Riots in Chile. In Chile President Sebastian Pinera has sent a bill to lawmakers that would allow military troops deployed to the streets of Chile amidst ongoing anti-austerity demonstrations This comes as Human Rights Watch has condemned police and military brutality against anti government protesters At least 26 people have died in the 40 days of Chilean protests. This is Human Rights Watch America's director, Jose Miguel Viganco. There are hundreds of worrying reports of excessive force on the streets and abuse of detainees such as brutal beatings and sexual abuse that cannot be left unpunished and should be quickly and vigorously investigated and punished by the Chilean judicial authorities

2:45:57 And what's your third? And the last one, unfortunately is mislabeled. It's just under Iran. In Iran, videos of the Iranian security forces' violence against protesters are emerging online as Iran has partially restored Internet access—which was almost entirely blocked—for over a week. Amnesty International says over 100 people were killed in the crackdown-against demonstrations sparked by a sharp rise in gas prices earlier this month. U.S sanctions against Iran have contributed to the economic crisis Iranian officials now say internet access in the country could be curtailed indefinitely And here's a question for our NAMs, our no agenda amateur radio HAM operators With this going down in Iran has anyone made contact with a ham operator from Iran? Because when the Internet is out when the apocalypse comes

2:46:57 Don't the ham radio guys have to stand up and save the world I lost their job. I would like to know if anyone has actually had contact with an Iran a ham in Iran a ham Vrana him you just was saved the whole show for that You mean we have a title finally? No, we have plenty of titles Iran a ham is good though Yeah, I'm keeping it. I'm gonna try myself see if I can get a Iran a ham on the line but Alright everybody, that does it. I will be traveling but we'll be here on the box for our Thursday show The first Thursday of the week Look forward to that very much Please remember us not just in your prayers but also at Dvorak dot org slash NA It's a fun little place to go check out and support this show which after all is yours And uh...

2:52:06 Perfect call! Think of it, 33 what they get away with. 33 what they get away with. Wow! He's just throwing in the 33s? You know the thing is it was so well done I didn't catch it the first time as we point out on this show endlessly. 33 dead in Pakistan bus collision South Africa flood death toll rises as government declares 33 disaster zones. 33 what they get away with Robert De Niro It's like living in an abusive household. You feel you don't know what's going to happen next, what crazy thing is going to happen next? What's gonna make you say, well, what the hell is going on? There's only one angry person gets to say what is real. That isn't a simple thing that I need working now here out of California where people are frat. F*** you! So critical if you want it. God f****** how could you... F*** you, you're upset because your living in Spain

2:53:03 33 what they get away with. Eaton, profit jumps 33% in fourth quarter Guinea seeks a 33% stake in mining projects Pub sells 333 million fewer pints year over year South Africa, 333 rhinos lost to poaching This is ridiculous Our listeners know that we're on to this because we keep bringing it up. 33 what they get away with! But when you talk about apology, I think the one that you should really be apologizing for and the thing that you should be apologizing for are the thirty three thousand emails that you deleted and that you acid washed Donald Trump has just tweeted and its a huge one

2:53:43 specifically in the context of India. Let me read that tweet out for you if you can't read it very clearly He says, The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as fools. I got hairy legs
