00:00 Ha ha hi! Enjoying just eight hours of sunlight and broadcasting live parallel to runway 27 at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Gitmo Nation Lowlands, In the Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley which isn't half as interesting but we have an impeachment going on... I'm John C. Gorak. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Oh man.... I got here it was dark, I woke up and I got to work and its dark again

00:43 It's like it's dark a lot. Well, it's only eight hours of sunlight right now in the Gitmo lowlands No, there's no northern lights here At least not that I know of oh man what a trip and it never sees Now expect to hear the travel report sometimes the best part of this show is gonna be real short Real real sure you know what was interesting that I've I left yesterday 11 a.m.. Flight No pre-check of course course But there's no line at TSA I go through I have the whole studio with me now, I don't think there's been one sing maybe one other time before and

01:33 That it went right through everything. The studio bag, the wire bag... ...the microphone! They didn't even try to pull it out like, ha-ha-ha got a vibrator in his bag no none of that It was perfect they flew right through not an issue Then we had a tailwind got in half an hour early all that was good Except for the fact that once again KLM had no Wi-Fi on the flight They apologized for it but come on it's like how can I cant and they can't keep that together That's because it costs money. Olive Theory, yes likely. You know if we just take the Wi-Fi and don't turn it on on half the flight? Yeah! We'll make a million bucks. Fifty billion dollars Exactly I did have an OTG moment that really teed me off just before I boarded the plane in Austin

02:26 So we have the new terminal and this is where a lot of the Delta flights originate from. And this new term was... You mean in Austin? Yeah, in Austin yeah you've got the the New International Terminal and so they built everything beautiful new on the inside but all of the kind of coffee places are down the other end and they decided here is where we're going to innovate. Innovate! Which like one of those coffee machines Have you seen the automatic coffee machines at the airport? Well, you haven't been to an airport in 10 years probably but they... What?! They have a coffee machine! Yeah. You know it's kind of cool with the touchscreen and uh These machines have been around forever But here is what was different so you can pay with cash So you have to swipe your card

03:14 So I swipe my card and uh... It should be free by the way, the coffee at an airport. Oh no! No, I don't even know what it was but i'm sure it was five bucks at least Too high? Yeah of course it's too high so you know the machine you can look through it arm And then you have your pin number You know which you're assigned when you pay for it and you type in your pin it's like oh well hello Mr Curry welcome here is your coffee The window opens and there's your coffee and the coffee's not bad So I go back to the gate, and get a text message from the fucking co- I'm sorry. From the damn coffee... From the COFFEE MACHINE! Telling me that i should use Lyft next time I come to the airport so they have tracked my telephone number through my card swipe and then decided to send me an ad message after paid for my coffee

04:05 I thought you were off the grid, man. Yeah...I wanted coffee! Okay shut up about your off-the-grid You know what i'm talking about this is this is? I think this this is illegal. I did not consent Why would it be illegal well? I didn't give my number to the coffee machine Somebody has it. You know what it is Is that It's I look at Jack Dorsey It's The Square Network square does This minute you're on their payment network they share all your details with everybody It angered me. Wow, I paid for the coffee and now you're gonna send me an ad too? If it were free... Okay good! I won't take Lyft but thanks for reminding me. But no, I paid for it AND they sent me an ad Yeah yeah they're double dipping Well I'm boycotting them now Boycotting who? The coffee machines Oh brother I wonder if you can do something fun with them You know they have these new coffee machines in San Francisco that are

05:08 That are they look like they're people making coffee, but it's a bunch of robot arms. Yeah, this is what I'm talking about I'm not talking I said you didn't listen to me. You had the robot. Yes Yes, the robot you see that cars after just went by okay Let's stop on the coffee. I have an important report a train report since she brought up the sephora how many how many cars was it? 10. 10 cars? Economy's doing great! Apparently, because of climate change global warming scorched earth more people are taking the train this holiday season It was a busy weekend on the roads, in the air and on the rails as Amtrak expects the numbers will show a record-breaking surge of travelers. Amtrak had its largest passenger count during last year's Thanksgiving week with over 846 thousand riders that number is expected to be met or exceeded this year so many people especially in some of those college markets

06:05 faculty, staff and students need to get back from once they came. Spokesman Mark Magliari says Amtrak spends months preparing for the high volume of holiday travelers that includes adding more trains to routes and supersizing others. The most important thing is... Super size! I'll wait for it. and reliable. With so many passengers it's likely trains will experience some delays thankfully riders can get real-time updates on Amtrak website our trains are all equipped for us with GPS and our systems talking back and forth to the train Rachel Pearson News Radio 105.9 FM And on the rails Amtrak trains headed to Chicago this morning were running on time one notable exception

06:45 California Zephyr coming to Chicago from Emeryville, California near San Francisco. It was running about five hours late How come you were not aware of this tardiness of the zephyr? Because of the extra cars Five hours late The California Zephyr everybody You remember from those beautiful ads it's great and five hours late nice well that's nothing like the train apparently that was like Forgot where this was what happened, but I think it was the southern part of the country a train was two days late That's fantastic well. I'm in Europe. I am here at the At the airport hotel which as you know is my favorite Which means everything kind of works and I didn't do the best studio build this time? I was really groggy when I woke up and went to bed when we got in oh

07:43 It's just I was like, you know when you literally sleep drunk. That's how I felt just wobbling around the hallway Yeah, like wobbing around What am i doing? But you turn on the news because I want to give a little local flavor for the show today and of course the news is only one thing right now in all of Euro land because when you have these countries close together everything's interconnected. In particular air travel there's a massive, massive strike in France today Well it is absolute chaos here for workers in Paris 11 of the city's 16 metro lines are not operating today. Most metro stations, like this one behind me, are closed and shuttered and we're going to see big demonstrations later in the day

08:33 and shops and businesses along the routes of the protests are mostly shuttered. Banks have put up wooden screens to try to save their windows, and cash dispensers from being smashed as they have often been during the Yellow Vest protests and thousands of police are being deployed in the French capital because of fears that yellow vests and anti-capitalist protesters who are likely to be violent may join the union marches across the city.

09:09 Even for people who are not on strike today, getting to work is a huge struggle and I've spoken to many people who have resorted to bikes or simply walking. Hospitals are open but all but non-urgent operations have been cancelled and many schools are also closed. A lot of shops decided just shut for the day avoid possible damage by if those protests do turn violent. So millions of people on the street in France, which screws up everything, the train traffic to air traffic is really bad because KLM Air France they're all one Delta pilots you know this they have to reroute everything it's vacation time it's well well exactly It was the ground crews that went on strike which makes it really tough

10:04 You can't do much without the ground. I have a report similar report called massive strikes that came out of Francat, French source. Okay let's have a listen to that. By law public sector transport workers must give their employers 48 hours notice of their intention to strike This allows the French railway operator SNCF to announce its traffic plans at least 24 hours before disruptions begin. Based on the information it's received, the company has warned about major transport chaos on Thursday with only one in ten trains running as normal

10:44 Served routes will be the high-speed TGV lines between Paris and other major cities in France, including Bordeaux, Lille and Marseilles. Meanwhile around half of Eurostar trains including 16 between Paris and London have already been cancelled according to the company's website. Also striking are employees of RATP which runs Paris' public transport system Only two lines on the metro will be operating as usual. Eleven lines will be closed and three will be running during rush hour only. Regional train, bus and tramlines will also be badly hit. Last but not least air travel will be affected. Three of the unions representing ground crew for Air France have joined the strike along with air traffic control staff

11:34 20% of flights, most of them short-haul have been cancelled on Thursday. for several years this conversation I've been following it in the Netherlands basically the pensions don't have enough money, the pension funds. Certainly not the government run pension funds and so they want to cut everybody they're talking about 35% less and old people are pissed off! And rightfully so although in France Euro news puts their own little spin on it.

12:28 accept that it is necessary to reform France's complicated pension system and to streamline it. What President Macron essentially wants to do, is to scrap the country's 42 different pension systems and harmonise them bring them into one uniform systems so It is a paradox. I've spoken to an economist and sociologist about this, and they explain it by saying well the French support the reforms with their heads but with their hearts they're still backing the strikes so difficult perhaps to grasp but for now the strikes do enjoy a very high degree of public support

13:19 Well, it's just getting underway. I think all of Europe is going to start burning People are done with it. They're so done they're done they've done with it done with the EU that done with all the bullcrap Did you know that even the Irish farmers had also protested we miss this? No, but about five days ago They stormed the the Irish Parliament tractors somehow. I didn't see the light. Yes. I did hear this I don't have a report but I did hear it So between the unionized by the way one of the things about them is French, especially in Paris that you didn't get on any of these reports. But it is played up on some of the European stations which is they've taken to the streets now bicycling to work many are on scooters there apparently this scooter invasion has helped. Well we can get to work very nice

14:14 I see issues. You can feel it in the air and everybody's all in with the strikes, okay six out of ten according to Euronews but everyone here is like yeah, yeah I agree so why wouldn't that happen here? You got the farmers you got organized workers they're all going against the government and I think maybe Trump had something to do with it And? Well there was this NATO summit And I have to say, I kind of like the new Macron giving Trump a big mouth. That was kind of cool to see

14:51 Like yeah, okay president. Well you know Isis isn't really over it's not really done yet Did you see this clip with him in my call? I mean a clip of the clip I have a clip a clip of that event Which I liked and I think I think it's good one because Trump got a little pushback That was fun to watch and I don't think he took it very well And two, I like it because if I were Germany, I'd be going, you got a big mouth over there France. What are you doing saying NATO's crap and Trumps crap?

15:36 a tremendous amount of captured fighters, ISIS fighters over in Syria. And they're all under lock and key but many are from France many are from Germany many of them UK they're mostly from Europe and some of the countries are agreeing I have not spoken to the president about that would you like some nice Isis fighters? Now i think he did that because Macron was talking crap about NATO which of course is true but Trump is really proud of the two percenters who have paid their dues and France isn't there yet. And so I think this was kind of a snide remark towards him saying, would you like some ISIS fighters? The ones that we get rid off for you and then Macron comes back! You can take everyone you want let's be serious. Let's be serious. There are large number of fighters on the ground. ISIS fighters coming from Syria, Iraq and the region

16:33 It is true that we have foreign fighters coming from Europe, but this is a tiny minority of the overall problem we have in the region. And I think number one priority because it's not yet finished... ...is to get rid of ISIS and its terrorist groups." So wait a minute! I thought we got rid of ISIS? Now he's saying we didn't?! This was a slap in the face! "-This is our number one priority!" And it's not yet done. I'm sorry to say that you still have fighters in this region, in Syria and now in Iraq and more and more. The whole destabilization of the region makes the situation more difficult to fix the situation against ISIS. Don't make any mistake your number one problem are not foreign fighters this is the ISIS fighter in the region and you have more and more these fighters due to the situation today

17:26 This is why he's a great politician, because that was one of the greatest non-answers I've ever heard. And that's okay." that Trump laid on the entire EU earlier. Oh, what was this? In that little meetup This is the best clip I could get of it was actually part of a summary but this is the random...this is actually quite... This is something none of the mainstream media people are going to play. These are the random NATO comments. I inherited a situation where the European Union which was formed partially for this reason I guess for lot of reasons it was formed but partially

18:13 make better or take advantage of the United States and they've done that very brilliantly and frankly it's not right so I've exposed it a lot of people didn't know it and we're doing things about it. We are doing things man, do big things huge huge things about it So what he said was the EU which I have always firmly believed was established to as a bulwark against the United States and so far as economics is concerned, they want to have this big giant market that could compete with us because we're a big giant market. Well are just by ourselves. Yeah. So every time somebody brings it up everyone gets bent out of shape well

19:02 I think that Macron is doing something very interesting. All of a sudden his balls dropped and he's got a big mouth, and he's talking about NATO is no good we gotta have our own army... I don't think he's talking about a European Army, he's talking about a French Army which they have you know they've got the Mirage fighters and they fly all over the place And that works out so well for him Meanwhile in Britain according to The Daily Mail would take that with a grain of salt The slaves there being told to keep the population down and to stop them from killing trees, Britons should eat gray squirrels. That's an interesting take on the bugs! I can send him a recipe... We had a recipe that our Southerners developed called burgoo. Burgoos? Squirrel stew. Maybe we should publish it in a newsletter. I'll make it! We got tons of squirrels in Austin

20:00 Ah, it's good eating. It's only really good if it has tire tracks though then you know what is the best? Nice and tender. Yeah, tender and marinated. Let us listen to this. Here is Al Jazeera NATO meeting report from Al Jazeera. Trump response on being asked about the Canadian Prime Minister comments Well he is too fast And soon afterwards he tweeted that there was no need for a final press conference Emmanuel Macron meanwhile continued to press his case for change. Who is our enemy? How can we act together against international terrorism in particular, these are all subjects that were not sufficiently settled. Our debates should be about something other than budgetary and financial issues. The voices of reassurance were left sounding a bit thin We have always been able to

20:58 overcome these differences and then unite around our core task to protect and defend each other. And that's exactly what we do today! The question it all raises is central to what NATO is, and what it exists for What happens to an alliance built on collective defense when that collective commitment, that spirit of unity isn't as solid as some would like it to be? Yeah... never will be either No It's just going downhill Then we have the big COP 25 taking place. Well, before we leave that I did want to discuss the fact that there was a little back and forth between Trudeau and Trump

21:45 And it had to do with Trudeau making some illusions or something about Trump being late. No, no this was the so-called hot mic camera episode between Boris Johnson... Did you get a good tape? A clip of this? It sounds like bullcrap! Let me tell you I let me tell you I tried for about 15 minutes. I tried filtering, noise reduction... I tried everything to make it audible enough for the show and it's just not there. They have the subtitles in the video clip where these guys are basically talking about Trump being late or whatever

22:22 Who cares? Really. But it did result in Trudeau making up some phony baloney story about it to try and cover his ass, and that brought one of the Canadian competitors to Trudeau, this Sikh named Jaimet Singh. And he had a funny thing to say, he supports Trump. Oh yeah this is the guy who was also running wasn't it? Yeah the Sikh. And here he is on Trudeau. I'm looking for a Sikh clip and... Jagmeet!

22:59 Okay, I could have known. What I've said often about Mr Trudeau is that he certainly says some things in public and then says things very differently in private for example He talks about the importance of indigenous relationships as being a priority in public but and then private any closed-door fundraiser with wealthy donors He mocked and made fun of activists that were complaining about a legitimate concern about clean drinking water and mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows. Very different approach in public and very different an approach in private. And that's something that I've said before There's many reasons to criticize mr Trump, but criticizing about making someone late to a cocktail party is not one and these these two Mr. Trudeau's in public and private is something that we've seen I've seen many times and I think Canadians are starting to see more and more Wow It's just like the this the sub show of Big Brother. It's like come on get back to the main program

24:00 It leads me to believe, because when you saw that thing you tried to get the clip from it was a little gathering around Trudeau. This leads me to believe that the guy is probably pretty funny in this small group and probably pretty nasty That I believe! I don't know if he's funny but i'll believe... well the nasty could be funny of course He could be funny and nasty but he looks like one those guys who'd gather around him Slam other people and it probably is very entertaining. I mean Boris Johnson was laughing about something Boris Johnson laugh about anything This guy, I think he's onto something here this such who doe is one of those guys Tell you about this guy yeah, this guy is really I might have got to tell you It's just really no good anyway so you were going on about We're changing topics

24:57 Well actually I was gonna do an entremont. Let me see... Yes, only discussed on the previous show just four days ago We talked about it, we looked for the historical. We predicted it and here it is! The spirit of giving has arrived in mid-Michigan. It feels good. It makes you know that there's good people out there An anonymous donor paid off peoples layaway items at the Midland Walmart Now this what great about it

25:33 So not only do we know this is gonna happen, but it also happened in Florida the same amount at a Walmart And but I don't have couldn't get any clips One is because I had to set up a proxy and so there was all kinds of issues Getting through to certain sites certainly the local TV stations websites. They're all just say you're from Europe No, no can-do But I'll finish this one because this is not only as the whole set up a native ad for Walmart. They do it every year, but this time the station was in on it just listen how far they go. I paid my layaway and only owed a penny. Melissa Halliday's gifts all paid for, frozen dolls and a tablet. Gifts for her 3 year old daughter who also has a birthday in December Her payment would have been nearly $230 dollars. I was in shock, didn't know how to feel but then I sat at home and cried for a little bit

26:34 And then I went and picked up my items. Walmart confirmed with us the mystery donor paid off around $3,000 in layaway items focusing on gifts for children and the gesture is one that Melissa won't soon forget. I was off work for a while for medical conditions So we've been behind on bills and struggling a little bit. It was just great to get that phone call, it was something that really helped us." Now we've reached out to Walmart to try to find out the identity of the mystery donor but they're keeping it anonymous so if you are the donor and you're watching...the people who you helped out wanted to say thanks God bless. It really helped our family and we're very, very happy.

27:28 Okay, did cost him 250 bucks to pay off the ladies bills and then probably well they said it was three grand. They said it was 3000 that the total payment to pay off the layaways. which seems low. Okay, but yeah so that could be all fiction. But they did well that's also true but I saw the same report in Florida and i saw another one from Pennsylvania so they're doing it nationwide It's a part of a scheme. Yeah, it's an advertising scam and I'm surprised that these new stations by the way should be ashamed of themselves. They're in on it! Come on this was clearly in on it. That's what I'm saying that's why they should be ashamed to themselves they're totally in on this is a sold proposition they come around with every year you know one or two of the stations actually couple of station usually run it and uh...they get paid to run it

28:27 And then the sales guy comes up to the new staff, says look I know you saw the story. We really gotta cover this because we've go another buy coming up so if you could mention Walmart a couple times maybe get a little shot and do the standup in front of the Walmart sign that would be great okay You know thats how it goes! And get me those TPS reports That'd be great! Get me those TPS reports Very good, Walmart. Proud of you! Another fine American scam perpetrated on the watching public. Some other bonehead marketeers from the various other retailers haven't come up with this scam and use it for their kind of preempted because if you do it before Walmart does that then it looks like sour grapes makes them look bad You know, you could actually sell this idea to local stores

29:23 Yeah, look I'm gonna get you a... it doesn't have to be the layaway but it can be any good Samaritan giving for something and you could sell it as a whole package. These guys, the local guys should be doing it to their local stores Yeah. There's a lot of potential here for sales, but you and I both know people who do broadcast sales. Yes. Oh yeah! Brown shoes... too much work. Exactly. Reminded-I'm reminded of the time this probably is in the compilation to so i'm working for tech tv and it was about a couple years into this gig doing a daily show

30:08 on the air of their network. I go to New York to meet with one of the salespeople for something, and they had a check...I forgot what purpose or my meeting was but I went there and so I believe that person's not in some woman. Oh she's not in this she's coming then oh there she is he's coming off the elevator says oh I'm happy now I'm John C Dvorak and just oh you're who? John C Dvorak okay are you uh your do what I said, I have a daily TV show on this network. Oh! What's it called? Did you walk away in disgust? I did actually. Yeah, I would too. It was disgusting they didn't know anything They're selling supposedly selling ads for this network and nobody knows any of the shows they never watch it. I mean its ridiculous No, just the numbers game saying what are the ratings let me just see the numbers I don't care

31:09 I don't care. They don't! They don't care well let us go to the COP 25 for a moment this is the uh, the 25th? 25th or... Amy will be there Have they done this for 25 years already or do they multiple in a year 20- is it seriously? It must be the 25th year so they just keep on you know of course we're not really represented there OR are we because apparently the whole delegation Nancy and the crew We're out there Pelosi and she got on the mic. Where was this? Well, it's the new locale remember they Was supposed to wasn't supposed to be in Bolivia Where was it supposed to be? It was all shit wherever something went horribly wrong with this one I think I believe this one's in Madrid Yeah, it's in Madrid but it was supposed to be hold on stop

32:02 Are you telling me that during a major impeachment trial, that seems to be the most important thing happening in this country at the moment if you are to take the Democrats seriously. That Nancy Pelosi traipsed off to Madrid with a couple of her pals? Even better than that she said something which I think is impeachable! And I will explain why after we listen. This is a mission, this is a passion of this is the scientifically based approach to all that and we're here to say to all of you on behalf of the House of Representatives in the Congress of the United States were still in it We are still in it. So...We're still in the Paris Accord apparently according to Nancy now

32:53 For all the things she says about what the president can and cannot do, it is not her responsibility to say what we're in or not. Not when it comes to treaties that's...that's the executive branch so she should not be saying these things. So we're stepping our bounds? What does she think she's President?! She should not be saying these things and certainly not with that slur! My goodness Yeah, it's not that much. It's embarrassing boys I don't know what it is but she's also tired No, I think she's tired You know, I'm tired from going back and forth the Holland a couple times these people do well Of course they fly a little differently now fly middle seat coach no Let's see who else weighed in of course Carrie

33:52 What's his name first name Kerry Joe Kerry Kerry Pete Kerry John Kerry? Yeah, no he's Under his watch as Secretary of State is when they got this whole Paris thing together And you know it of course yes clients send these people there. No did you you and me I He has, you know clients at Bain Capital although of course now that's just a former company but I'm sure he's got clients there and he is now also part of some group. I'll have to look it up and see exactly what they are. You know find in the second here is talking about how severe it is uses it analogy we've discussed before. Before you play this

34:42 You have seem to have forgotten our previous agreement. I know but... Which i'm gonna let it go, but Well the minute you think he's too boring lemme know It's only a minute ten so hopefully we'll be able to get through it The fact is that uh Boring! It's in the beginning, so hold on. The fact is that we are so far behind that you need now to organize nations almost as if we were at war. That is why we call this new organization World War Zero because no one country can solve the problem of climate change. You have to have every country at the table most importantly the 20 or so largest economies in the world which are about 85 percent 90 percent of all emissions

35:30 Secondly, you've got to start to make a set of decisions that are really enormous. Not unlike the decisions that were made in the course of World War II to make sure we could win the war We're not doing that today! We need to accelerate the transition through decarbonized transportation To move to electric vehicles That means you gotta accelerate the process of building infrastructure so you can charge those vehicles around the nation uh... you have in their whole set of interlocking decisions none of which are being made by the united states at a large national level because we have a president who says that climate change is a chinese folks and the result of the american presidency moving out of the position of leadership the president obama administration gave it

36:17 is that other nations that want to be slower and laggard about it are doing so. So the entire effort has been slowed, and its very dangerous lives are being lost now here in our country mudslides fires floods droughts And in other parts of the world, which is all interconnected there are challenges to food production to habitability. People are going to be refugees climate refugees already are climate refugees. This World War Zero thing is big! It's a... it's really nothing. It's part of a bigger non-profit. Who is he fighting against? Who is this war against? Well, this is what's interesting. It's a nonprofit and so it's the project of this big nonprofit which is filled with admirals and generals. It isn't actual military industrial complex operation that he's in here

37:15 And he's got, you know, Celebrities. He's got all the big names. Let me see... For some reason I've lost my place with this. Who was it? Oh yeah! The American Security Project. This is a bunch of fine people. What do you think Board of Directors want to hear a few? That always helps. Obviously. Yeah let's see Board of Directors Okay, Gary Hart He hasn't been around the heart. Yeah Christie Todd Whitman But then we get Brigadier General Stephen Chaney US Marine Corps retired then we get

37:59 Congressman Donald Breyer, Lieutenant General Daniel Christman also retired. Let's see Admiral William Fallon we got Vice-Admiral Lee Gunn the Honorable Chuck Hagel he's... It sounds like a drinking club! it's a whole defense club who have are naming their latest thing World War Zero because we have to fight it like World War Two. Well in that case you better get the Russians on board because you need them to win but they got Ernst Moines, everybody's in this club and I bet they get paid too They probably suck some money out of something It's gotta be, it's gotta be Probably not minor amounts enough to buy better booze That's what its all about

38:48 I think that sounds what it was, sounds like. It sounds like the Army Navy Club roster with the way you're reading these names. It's exactly what it is. Bill Nye piping up again with one of his famous PSAs and this... The science guy? Yeah! The science guy and he sitting in this shot with stacks of dollar bills or you know that maybe they're Benjamins, you can't really see. So stacks as we call it is we say in hip-hop stacks and racks racks a stack stacks lots of money and he's letting the truth out if you want to be rich get on board so here it is people I'm gonna level with you the real reason you should do your part to combat climate change is... It'll make you filthy

39:33 So he is telling kids, get on board Get some government money to do some research and you'll get rich by being on board the climate train. Kind of pandering, it's a very... that doesn't make it sound like anyone is very sincere about the problem No

40:17 No, it's all about the Benjamins for this guy. It did give me the ISO possible ISO and turn off the damn lights I thought that might be a possible end of show ISO Turn off the damn lights That's actually not a bad one because i have one competitor which came out of the impeachment hearings Oh okay And this is hearings 11 ISO Okay He's really gonna look at this and say huh? Yeah like that we got some submission We got some submissions from uh from no agenda kids Don't eat me Bojiden, you're scary. So scary! I like Bo-Bojiden and then we had a take two... Don't eat me Joe Biden! I liked that one too they're both kind of good yeah they're both usable i don't know about end to show but i think they're true just generally just the use in general well i have the i think i have the absolute end of show

41:13 End of show I so you ready you got to sit down for this because it's made for us. Oh my god We've run out of clips or we can use that as a pre end-of-show when we actually run out of clips I'm filled with them today Somebody really loaded you up. Well, just people hear this stuff and like oh yeah we're gonna give you some ISOs man get some ISO's going on Good i'm glad it's getting competitive Yes All right where were we? Well I think you've mentioned a couple times You might want to bring me up-to-date on the impeachment I have um let me see...I don't have much actually

42:04 In fact, I have very little. Because I didn't see it. I was traveling during the first rule. What I understand this round now we had Jerry the troll Nadler and he was running it this is the Judiciary Committee that would actually draft and file articles of impeachment And now we've gotten to the point where we had to bring lawyers to explain to everybody how what the president did was impeachable. Do I have this right that that's what it was? It was a bunch of lawyers doing, explaining to you how the law works in America? Was that what was happening here? No it was mostly a bunch of lawyers opining

42:51 They're all, well let's see here. Let's play the long... You can stop this if it's too long This is the hearing rundown on NBC Now I want to mention something So this thing is on the networks Not Fox but CBS and ABC Wait they put the whole thing on the networks? During the day Yes, they preempted their programming during the day. Wow what a mistake? Kathy Lee and oh What a mistake! Oh this is going to hurt them so much Think of all the ad slots were losing out on Christmas are they insane Well they pulled the plug on it Okay what happened was there letting this thing slide and

43:41 And it's going on and on until about, I think about Pacific time around 10 o'clock maybe. All three networks almost simultaneously and this was during the part where Doug Collins was ranting about something and they also... This is right after the Republican lawyer who is actually an anti-Trumper but he's the only guy they'd allow, was going on about how this is all a bunch of nonsense. And just as that was going on all three networks at the same time pulled the plug! Oh really now?

44:21 Yeah, it was almost like it was okay boys. ABC's pulling the plug we're pulling the plug. ABC what about NBC? They're pulling the plug we're pulling the plug. ABC they're pulling the plug we're pulling the plug It would be good to know who pulled first Who won who plugged first yeah it was impossible To tell because when one pull the plug you go next network they're pulling the plug and they're all pulling the plug I betcha CBS went first there There are the big dog aren't ya You know its...I believe maybe CBS did go first And then they led the way and they pulled the plug, and everyone pulled the plug. So then all go to a little short-term analysis saying it in fact contradicting what you just heard especially on NBC well that's terrible! You know guys comes up says well the Trumps really there is nothing here so you're on thin ice with this stuff and they pull the plug and meanwhile

45:12 CBS pulled the plug but still had a little box with it you can see what's going on. Oh running on yeah, is there anything? Hearings underway live right now! Too boring to show You could see Doug Collins screaming his head off You couldn't hear it though This was the only good part of the hearings And they didn't even air that oh who's running that show these guys are nuts That's gonna cost them a lot. They screwed up, yeah now let's listen to the long and you don't have to play the whole thing but this is what I wrote down on NBC inviting a panel of constitutional scholars to bolster their investigation President Trump has committed impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors by corruptly abusing the office of the presidency What has happened in the case today is something that I do not think we have ever seen before

46:01 A president who has doubled down on violating his oath to faithfully execute the laws. Three of the Democrats experts arguing the President's alleged misconduct pressuring Ukraine's leader to investigate the President's political rival, Joe Biden is grounds for removal. The Republicans loan witness dismissing the Democrats case as wafer thin I'm concerned about lowering impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger. Democrats emphasizing the urgency for action If we do not act to hold him in check now, President Trump will almost certainly try again to solicit interference in the election But the top Republican Doug Collins appearing exasperated attacked the inquiry as a partisan sham It didn't start with Mueller it didn't start with a phone call You know where this started? It started with tears in Brooklyn

46:55 in November 2016. With Democrats eyeing an impeachment vote before Christmas, Republicans say they're focusing on the calendar not the facts this is a fast impeachment I would argue it's not a fast impeachment its predetermined impeachment The tone not always scholarly professor Pamela Carlin taking offense to the Republicans assertion the experts have not done their homework I would like just say to you sir that I read transcripts of every one of the witnesses. I'm insulted by the suggestion that as a law professor, I don't care about those facts." Later Carlin drawing criticism for invoking President Trump's 13-year old son to make her point that a president is not a king. The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility so while the president can name his son baron he can't make him a baron. The first lady tweeting Pamela Carlin you should be ashamed and Carlin later apologizing

47:48 I want to apologize for what i said earlier about the president's son. It was wrong of me to do that All of it coming as Rudy Giuliani, the President's personal lawyer already under scrutiny for his role in the pressure campaign on Ukraine is back in Eastern Europe According to the New York Times, meeting with an ousted Ukrainian prosecutor as Giuliani again tries to dig up dirt on the president's political rivals. All right Peter so what's next in this impeachment process? Yeah Lester after today's marathon hearing House Democrats are trying to keep to a short timeline to review the evidence draft articles of impeachment and vote all in the next two-and-a-half weeks

48:28 Yeah, so I did catch the angry Stanford law professor who had to apologize about what she said about the president's son. By the way...I thought it was a funny line and she could have stuck by her guns! That is what Trump would have done but no, no, she wimps out as you know this is classic spineless democrat kind of thing and she starts apologizing for what? What does she do wrong? Nothing Well, you said okay. Yeah It was not politically correct to mention him why yeah? Why what difference does it make it's a funny line She executed it perfectly she got her point across had nothing to do with the law or analysis or anything I mean the reason who it is the reason why is exactly that that was the problem. It was a highlight of the entire telecast as seen stealing highlighting she had to be hammered down for it and

49:25 But yeah, I agree. It was good there was one piece he bought into the hammering yes stupid she should have said stop the hammering And I did catch I did catch one clip of of Jonathan Turley. He's a law professor from George Washington University, I guess... The guy that was representing the Republicans? That's obvious! But i did like what he said because first of all on the plane since uh I had no internet I did download the House Intelligence Impeachment Report which is about 300 pages and I read

50:05 Well, you know at a certain point you skim through some things. But I spent several hours reading this and it's fictional! It's things that are just absolutely not true such as it states that under huge public pressure only then did the president release the transcript. This is not true This is not true. He released it almost out of the blue, there was no public pressure I mean it was the next day wasn't it? Well he released it out of the blue pretty much yeah I think it was pretty close to when they started bringing up the topic he did as a mechanism

50:50 stave off continued bitching. But it wasn't because of public pressure, what are they talking about? Yeah and there's stuff like you know the quote from the whole thing all of this is based on a transcript being interpreted with artistic license so when you say then the president asked to quote do us a favor And then the quote ends, to dig up dirt on his political rival Joe Biden. It's just not true! It's just not what's in the actual transcript now that they have... No it's a lie. Yeah well let me play this George Washington University professor because one of the articles of impeachment would be obstruction of justice

51:35 and which they've already tried with this president but they're trying it again because he is taking these committees to court over certain things they want. I don't even know what it is they want besides his taxes, but whatever! They've got a lot of documents they want more and he's taken him to court and there's an interesting historical perspective to this when it comes to impeachment. You're saying article 1 gives us complete authority that when we demand information from another branch it must be turned over or will impeach you in record time? Now, making that worse is that you have such a short investigation. It's a perfect storm! You set an incredibly short period, demand a huge amount of information and when the president goes to court you then impeach him! Does that track with what you've heard about impeachment? Does it track with the rule of law we talked about? So on obstruction I would encourage you think about this

52:37 In Nixon, it did go to the courts. And Nixon lost! And that was the reason Nixon resigned. He resigned a few days after the Supreme Court ruled against him in that critical case, but in that case, the court recognized there are executive privilege arguments that can be made It didn't say you had no right coming to us don't darken our doorstep again it said we've heard your arguments We've heard Congress's arguments and you know what? You lose. Turn over the material to Congress." Do you know what that did for the judiciary is it gave this body legitimacy, it wasn't the Rodino extreme position that only you decide what information can be produced I can't emphasize this enough and I'll say just one more time if you impeach a president If you make a high crime

53:36 and misdemeanor out of going to the courts. It is an abuse of power, it's your abuse of power you're doing precisely what you're criticizing the president for doing we have a third branch that deals with conflicts at the other two branches in what comes out of there and what you do with it is the very definition of legitimacy I don't know if that went over anywhere, if anyone cares about it. But that was an interesting historical perspective is that true about Nixon? Yeah he's right about... He was very good on there kind of laughing a lot because of these other maniacs especially that woman

54:16 And who just was a, you know... Well in fact I'm gonna skip one. We want to play a couple of things but let's go to the kind of summarize things. I think Gates that the guy who is always getting criticized for being rough little too harsh on everybody. Oh really? He did have it and he had his... He's Republican. Yes kinda has kind of a Muppet face You know, like when you scrunch it up? Yeah a little bit. It's kind of funny. He looks like one of the Muppets. Muppet gates yeah But he definitely laces into everybody and does a pretty good job of it I thought he was the best Of all the guys but there is other stuff that I want to play but let's play this guy first This impeachment to Gates one.

55:13 belongs in impeachment file. And then, Mr Jake Flanagan wrote in Quartz a Harvard law professor thinks Trump could be impeached over fake news accusations my question Professor Feldman is since you seem to believe that the basis for impeachment is even broader than the basis that my Democrat colleagues have laid forward do you believe your outside of the political mainstream on the question of impeachment? I believe that impeachment is warranted whenever the president abuses his power for personal benefit or to corrupt the democratic process. Did you write an article entitled, It's Hard To Take Impeachment Seriously Now?

55:49 Yes, I did write that article. Back in May of 2019... Did you write since the 2018 midterm election House Democrats have made it painfully clear that discussing impeachment is primarily or even exclusively a tool to weaken President Trump's chances in 2020? Did you write those words until this call on July 25th? I was an impeachment skeptic The call changed my mind, sir. And for good reason. Thank you I appreciate your testimony. Professor Carlin You gave 2 thousand bucks or you gave a thousand bucks to Elizabeth Warren right? Uh...I believe so. You gave twelve hundred uh...bucks to Barack Obama

56:26 I have no reason to question that. And you gave $2,000 bucks to Hillary Clinton? That's correct Why so much more for Hillary than the other two? Because i've been giving a lot of money to charity recently because all the poor people in the United States Well those aren't the only folks you've been given to Now have you ever been on a podcast called Versus Trump? Woah! I think it was on a live panel that the people who ran the podcast called Versus Trump On that, do you remember saying the following? Liberals tend to cluster more. Conservatives especially very conservative people tend to spread out more perhaps because they don't even want to be around themselves Did you say that yes I did Wow again the podcast The Star of The Show Fantastic

57:16 Well, these are all lawfare lawyers. This is a group called the Lawfare Group and they've had all these different strategies I think every single one of them is a member of the group and their strategy has been to get rid of the president one way or another And they publish this! They publish strategies...they're the ones behind the you know the Convention of States to usurp Electoral College, and there's all this kind of stuff going on. It's you know... Right I think they're maybe responsible for the idea that the states will their electrical... electrical? Their electoral... No no it's an Electrical College from now on! I don't care what... The Electrical College vote is specifically changed to the popular vote winner

58:05 Right. Countrywide Yeah, that's the idea. That's the idea Yes so if I'm in Nevada and electoral vote would go to Trump but the popular vote for the US which means California votes for Hillary, then I have to change mine to Hillary. Correct yeah that's great they're working on it anyway this part two of this is he continues to excoriate these folk do you understand how that reflects contempt on people who are conservative? No what i was talking about there was the natural tendency if you put the quote in context the natural tendency of a compactness requirement

58:48 to favor a party whose voters are more spread out. And I do not have control over conservatives... Professor, hold on again, I'm very limited on time professor and so i just have to say when you talk about how liberals want to be around each other in cluster and conservatives don't want to be around each other until they have to spread out it makes people- You may not see this from the ivory towers of your law school but it makes actual people in this country feel like- When the president calls me- Excuse me! You don't get to interrupt me on this time now let me also suggest that when you invoke the president's son's name here, when you try to make a little joke out of referencing Barron Trump. That does not lend credibility to your argument and makes you look mean it makes you look like you're attacking someone's family the minor child of the President of The United States so let's see if we can get into the facts

59:34 To all of the witnesses, if you have personal knowledge of a single material fact in the Schiff report please raise your hand. And let the record reflect no personal knowledge of a single fact and you know what? That continues on the tradition that we saw from Adam Schiff where Ambassador Taylor could not identify an impeachable offense Mr Kent never met with the president Fiona Hill never heard the president reference anything regarding military aid. Mr Hale was unaware of any nefarious activity with aid. Colonel Vindman even rejected the New Democrat talking point that bribery was invoked here. Ambassador Volker denied there was a quid pro quo and Mr Morrison said there's nothing wrong on the call, The only direct evidence came from Gordon Sondland who spoke to the President of United States and the President said I

1:00:21 want nothing. No quid pro quo and you know what if wiretapping a political opponent's an impeachable offense I look forward to getting that inspector general support because maybe it's a different president we should be impeaching. Oh my goodness, and you know amidst all this Trump did a good job another sales job sold another 250 million dollars worth of stuff and Congress is not approving it Or they're dragging their heels or doing something else. Because they want... You know, you can't get them to find themselves in a heap of trouble if they start bucking the industrial military-industrial complex when they're supposed to be the big supporters and again this is not gonna do this is not gonna bode well for them. I, you know remember Trump said at some point we had a clip he's talking about never Trumpers He says it's in some way there worse than Democrats who hate Trump which is most of them

1:01:19 This whole Ukraine thing again, it's I think it's so deep. I think it's so corrupt There was so much money in the the round-robin You know boomerang where you we give them money except We don't really give it to him and turn around and say hey who's got something? We can sell these guys Here's the money then never Trumpers must be the Republicans who were in on the deal Why else would you be so anti and so angry about this? This one little country which is not our, you know... This is not the firewall between Russia. There were Nazis in World War II! It's like it must be that it must be so bad because why else would you roll out all of these people to just embarrass themselves The whole thing is embarrassing

1:02:13 And it's a shit TV show. That is what the most embarrassing, that is un-American. Un-American! Yeah I agree with that let's play a couple of short few second clips this is the impeachment snippet from Doug Collins. It sums up very simply like this Just 19 minutes afternoon on inauguration day 2017 the Washington Post ran the headline the campaign to impeach. The president has begun Yeah, yeah We knew that it's yeah we knew that yeah That's a clip there where you love that and it's around that little picture of that articles still floating around And then he continues with this little gem Mark Zad

1:02:56 who would later become the attorney for the infamous whistleblower, tweeted in January 2017. The coup has started! The impeachment will follow ultimately and in May of this year Al Green says if we don't impeach the president he'll get re-e-flected. Yes That pretty much sums it up. Now are they doing something again? I do have one last clip, which was since we're going to balance this a little bit let's have Nadler and this hearing is to Nadler and he has got a little piece of history in here i believe just the right clip. I want you to see if you can identify it

1:03:34 No, I'm trying to identify the cliff that you're talking about hearings to in Nadler BS. Ah, I got it 2016 The Russian government engaged in a sweeping and systematic campaign of interference In our elections in the words of special counsel Robert Mueller quote The Russian government perceived that would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome close quote the president welcomed that interference We saw this in real time when President Trump asked Russia to hack his political opponent. The very next day, a Russian military intelligence unit attempted to hack that political opponent." What was I missing here? Well the thing is you see he said that Trump asked them to... Oh! This story it was a joke! It started as a joke

1:04:33 He also has unfortunately I don't have this one. I thought it clipped it out, but he says I'll go back and dig this up because it's pretty fun on a is another gaffe of fact But can't find it on here alright. I'm good all right Let's do a quick 2020 overview before we take our first break There are a couple of things happening now did we did discuss briefly? Joe's bus. Yes, we did talk about the malarkey tour the malarkey tour and I bring this up in context of a question that we were at that we asked Producers on the previous show he said what was it? That got you hooked on no agenda You take a couple listens And and we got some interesting responses most way too long to read On the show but but very thoughtful

1:05:33 And the one I liked very much was from Angela Brown, who...I'll read a little bit of this because it does kind of play into this. I had to listen to the show in order to hear it right away. I liked your voices and the back-and-forth you and John have, I'd listened to N.A occasionally when visiting my brother and he repeatedly tried to hit me in the mouth over the years. I didn't listen because they already had a full roster of podcasts in my feed this is of course a problem John we gotta realize that people have a roster of podcasts so I didn't think I could fit in an additional six hours a week like you're so busy

1:06:14 My brother was successful with his attempts to hit my father in the mouth and I will say that when we visited him in the hospital that last month of his life he would always have his headphones on listening to no agenda chuckling and smiling much of the time. That's beautiful! After he passed away, I decided to finally give NA a try for real and see what it was that kept him entertained or what my brother kept going on about at first I did not get it either there were a lot of inside jokes and acronyms sayings and clips that went right over my head I felt a little out of it because everyone seemed to be in on the jokes except me. But, I loved the funny catchy jingles and your and John's rapport when impressed me The most though was that you truly did not seem to have an agenda mind blown now etc etc And i realized that this is a common

1:07:03 thread or a common thing amongst people that it's the jingles and the song parodies and our funny things that really draws the newbies in. So I think is probably a good idea to do more of that in the beginning of the show, you know what I mean? How much more we can do because the whole beginning of this show is one big... Well, I mean stuff like if we're talking about Joe's bus then maybe we play something like this. Robot has got a big old bus! And I've concluded

1:08:04 I've concluded that we're right. Somebody on Joe's campaign absolutely hates him, wants him to look like an idiot, wants him to fail You can go to any branding company you can go to any marketing firm None of them will ever suggest you name it the no malarkey tour in 2019 Ever Well, this coincides with your other... with the continuance thesis. Yes! Which is when we hear all these clips of him sounding like he's in a bucket you know? He's mic'd with the poorly mic'ed. They do this on purpose or he's up against the mics distorting everything. Yeah I think it's sabotage

1:08:53 You can, Jean provocateurs they exist. I mean there's plenty of them in within the Trump organization that hate him It's gotta be it's gotta be! I mean it's so wrong. It's just wrong. I mean it makes no sense you can talk to anyone like who decided that was a good idea? It might have been funny in the 80s Yeah In the eighties it would've worked maybe early 90s but probably not it was already toast by then for now I don't know Joe Biden. Dope! Big dope tour. So then we had... Oh, this is kind of cute

1:09:37 This is from World whether world free beacon when is that a free beacon people they do the super cuts Yeah, free beacon. They do the super cut so did a supercut of Kamala Harris leaving the campaign and what the What the mainstream media and for those you who are new to the show? You would say MSM mainstream media But we speak hacks or so we say M5m in case you were wondering what that was Because the five is an S on a calculator upside down in high school So they put together a little a little compilage. They put some music under which I always find It's too bad Yeah, it's annoying because you know first of all it could have been a better song that just isn't cut in nicely But you'll get the idea and she

1:10:25 a great candidate. the boxes. I remember on your show she was just extraordinary She is genuine, she's warm, she's sparkling! She brings a remarkable passion It's it's a bittersweet moment i think it's a high integrity move on her part She is a very young and talented political figure Kamala Harris looks like the future of the Democratic Party

1:11:05 Kamala Harris, the telegenic California senator. I think she's a better candidate now than she was when she started. Do you think that women are still held to different standards as candidates? It's tough to be a black woman in politics They have to be perfect on the stump which...I never saw her stumble Was she treated badly by the press? I mean just give it to us straight! I think she was definitely treated badly by the press She got pummeled by sexism Pete Buttigieg like a lot of white guys evaluated on his potential She's evaluated based on her resume and her daily performance. There you go, it was sexism and racism from the Democrats apparently that got Kamala kicked out of the race Not that she was an idiot? Or that she had no platform or program or talking points. No platform to say laugh too much.

1:12:00 That's that's my camera impression. I think I'm doing pretty good with it. Yes, pretty good sir Kevlar sent me a note He said we missed an important Important piece of the Bloomberg clip that I played of him and Fifi Lagarde talking about taxing the poor because you know It's its taxes or death basically that was his That was his reasoning is like we have to have tax your tax for your good health Yes, we have to tax you otherwise You don't you will eat wrong slave buddy But he actually said something He used a common phrase and I think the truth came out in what he was really saying but the comparison is a life or a job or taxes or Life which do you want to do take your poison?

1:12:48 The phrase is pick your poison, but he apparently just wants him to take poison regardless. Take your poison slaves! Just take it! Just take a poison! Yeah that's what he's saying. Elite. That guy has zero chance Oh yeah I know but he's gonna throw a bunch of money at the network so no one's gonna tell him this until he spends you know a couple hundred million This clearly has to just... Shh don't say anything they have good money coming in Don't let them know By the way we'll say this Those ads are running here. In California? Tons of them! I see a Bloomberg ad probably twice a day, every day That tells me that it's meant to wreak havoc on what's going on and i still think that it is very possible that come convention time...I don't even know when it is there will not be single candidate that can lock up enough democratic delegates or superdelegates or whatever they're called

1:13:49 to actually get the nomination. If you throw in a Bloomberg who apparently is throwing the money into the Democratic pool in California, then that must be... The whole plan must be to screw it up! To bring... to pave the way for the swoop my friend Because we'll see well How are stern the other day? I listen again. I listened to the Stern interview it was Uninteresting it was so so unlike Stern of the old days. I mean he could not be

1:14:25 He could not have been far enough up her butt crack and it was really, it was quite sad. It was pathetic and I you know we've talked about Stern before as being a great interviewer yeah in this case all he was doing was yakking fell down flat you know if there were so much that he could have talked about and so much she could have gotten into with uh with Hillary but he didn't or at least not in the stern way! It was clear...you know okay he loves her fine great But watch out! She spread her wings and went in for the swoop on The Graham Norton Show in the UK. And where are you? Are you saying forget me, is that your mantra now? Not yet. Wooo! Yes!

1:15:16 Because the rumor mill is flying that you could step back into the ring. Yeah, I hear that. I especially have been deluged in the last few weeks with thinking about doing that but right now... Whoa whoa whoa! She said she didn't even hear this the first time what did she just say? ...been deluged in the last few weeks with thinking about doing that That's interesting. She has been deluged with thinking about it, in other words she has been deluging herself! Yes that is exactly what she said I hear that...I especially have been deluged the last few weeks with thinking about doing that You are so right

1:16:06 She's delusional herself right now. I'm not at all You know planning that I'd have to make up my mind really bucket challenge wait listen to this thinking about doing that but right now, I'm not at all You know planning that I'd have to make up my mind really quickly. Ah Again with the gotta make up my mind it has to make a good mine really quickly No, you don't you just wait for the convention? You know what's I think its planned I think it's going down because it's moving very fast What's moving very fast what listen again, you know planning that I'd have to make up my mind really quickly Because it's moving very fast. What's moving really fast

1:16:48 There's messages in here. But I do want to continue to influence the debate, you know? I'm not leaving the political arena completely. you know, make it clear that we have to hold our current leadership accountable. So I'm on Twitter and not as clever as Chelsea is at dealing with a lot of the undercurrents of Twitter but I am out there all the time sort of pointing out some of the foolishness and craziness that we are currently experiencing so yeah i'm not going anywhere I just don't know what role I will be actually in

1:17:31 Uh-huh, leaving it open. Yeah everyone still leaving it open It makes so much sense when wherever she is whenever as this England of course But whenever she says oh no I'm not I'm not ruling it out Everyone goes wild they'll jump they will jump on it They will love her She will be the Savior just to come in here's a new way. I'm looking at it She has two She's not going to do Iowa and she's not going to do New Hampshire. And there's no reason to do either one of those, and she might as well said the old rule is will every president since Cleveland has won either Iowa or New Hampshire? It's not important you can easily I'm sorry, I need to correct you. I need to correct you it's not important it's not yeah

1:18:20 I, it's just not. And she knows this times have changed Super Tuesday is really the big day that anyone has to worry about but she could make an impact immediately by getting on the South Carolina ballot so you'd have Buddha judge is gonna win Iowa that's whether your one thinks and it's either going to be Warren, but probably Bernie will win New Hampshire. Neither one of those two are gonna be the president and even if Warren wins because there's too many forces against them and

1:18:56 In fact, there's forces against almost everybody except Hillary. And so Hillary can see this and say well I'm gonna run in South Carolina because she is a big favorite in South Carolina because the South Carolinians love Bill. So she'd run in South Carolina and win get immediate momentum for Super Tuesday. sweep that pretty much probably take about half or more than half of the various elections and she'd be good to go. But why even bother with that? She can't wait till the convention, it's risky! It looks sleazy... Is it any sleazier than what they did to Bernie in 2016 is it any sleazier? The whole Democratic National Committee had to resign

1:19:45 To resign it was so sleazy. I hope she comes back, how good would that be for the show? Oh! I go to bed...I pray for her to step back in this not as everyone's a loser in this gig right now no one's a winner everyone knows it Yeah, that's why they're trying to impeach Trump. It's their last best hope! And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the Cs in the electrical college John C. Dvorak

I love it very much and you should check it out, noagendastream.com Lots of fellow trolls hanging out there in the troll room Also in the morning to Darren O'Neill He is the man who brought us the artwork...I think? Is this the second time in a row? He already had hat tricks No he has not Oh thats right we had data before that Well he brought us art For episode 1195 The title was The Eranahams

1:21:19 And we didn't even see it the first time. I think we had to look at the art several times before we saw the blackboard, no agenda computer 101 dropping the T nice touch. That's actually what made it work that totally made a work and you don't see right off the bat your eyes sees computer then you look out like ah! I see what you did there And that was hands down the best one and we appreciate that Darren O'Neill and everybody else there were some competitors But it was definitely though. Oh, it was it was once we saw the drop T With a shoe in it was easy easy for us actually going with the pre-extinction part of Larry Dane Yes, I was promoting it yeah Until until we saw the the drop tee on the blackboard It was good is a good piece very nice piece and also nice the way did the chalk

1:22:11 font. Yeah, it was good you know top-notch this is what the value for value system is about bring it and bring more of that Darren thank you noagendaartgenerator.com that's where you can find All of the art submissionals for the pre stream and a lot of these go on to T-shirts and mugs at noagendershop.com And we're waiting for more people to come up with some innovative ideas what to do with this fabulous artwork, NoAgendaArtGenerator.com On this program We have listeners but we call them producers because they actually do produce the show not just with

1:22:47 clips and thank you again for those of you who have sent in clips but also deep knowledge of certain topics we have experts in almost every field and I mean almost every field that I can think of, but we also have producers who sustain us with their finances. And about this time on the show just like Hollywood we like to highlight our executive and associate executive producers in this case for episode 1196 Indeed and we like to start with Seems to be coming in constantly here, sir. Dave fougasoto earl of america's heartland and saudi arabia Wow $353 in a dime And he writes in a note which I actually have a printout of

1:23:32 Dearest Leo and Tolstoy, greetings. In the tradition of NA numerology today's donation is the summation of dates to celebrate Dame Melody and my anniversary 6th December and Dame Isabella's birthday 7th December. Oh nice! Did she get on the birthday list? I think so. Yes, I believe so added into the donation amount is a thrice of 333 33 for some travel karma So you have to put that up and flying back on Friday from a tour of the continental holdings of my earldom Unfortunately Dame Melody will be in Austin Austin when I get back and following a brief reunion She just off jets off to Budapest

1:24:15 or as they like to say Budapest, Bucharest for the international part of her master's program. We will reunite as a family in Mainz in a few weeks after spending almost five years there it is a special place for us all and where I finally divorced Twit hitched my wagon under the no agenda show and never looked back. After a few days of Gutenberg City, I returned to the kingdom with my dames in tow to celebrate another work day known as 25th December." It's a local fave. They'll be spending the winter break with me enjoying the festive Riyadh season until having to head back to manage the heartland My amygdala says hi Thanks for all the great deconstruction Please send me a random rev manning and a wee bit of goat karma for all the upcoming travels geez

1:25:12 Talk about being on the road. You know, I had we had dinner The Keeper and I had dinner with Sir Dave the Earl of America's Heartland in Saudi Arabia and Dame Melody and Dame Isabella And I gotta tell you, Isabella is...I don't know. Is she 13? 12-13? This young woman she'll be Secretary of State or something one day She is so well traveled so well versed knows how to hang out with boring adults They're doing her a very interesting service with this traveling and exposing it all these different cultures and people I'm excited to see what becomes of her

1:25:53 Huh. Well, good. It sure is a fun group to hang out with! Yeah and when they come back to Austin when it all works out we look forward to yet another dinner Go ahead and boom shakalaka brother And here's the go karma You've got Yes, the troll room says quite correctly that it may be true but you've got to keep her away from Uncle Joe. Yes this is true so we'll make sure she goes nowhere near Joe onward with Sir Roy Pierce in Fort Pierce Florida 334

1:26:36 We have a note from him, by the way. $304 bucks. This is very funny note by the way for... This unusual note does not the kind of note most guys send in I've tried different Linux distros twice a year for a decade. All have loaded and run as described, none survived their first update. Mint was the worst! All four user interfaces vanished. Universal forum advice was to return to the Windows because Linux is for those folks proficient with the Linux console My problem is not so much with Linux As it is with the assholes that use it Roy

1:27:16 Alright couple things I actually had an issue with my Linux What yeah, I know well what happened was something ran over well a Couple of things but I had this running on several machines at the same time the same install And they all broke. They wouldn't boot up and you know things were breaking. I couldn't figure it out so And so I posted a link on noagendasocial.com and on twitter.com Now, No Agenda Social immediately dudes named Ben like okay try this do a ctrl alt f1 get into the command line and i did and that's how i found out quite quickly that my drive had filled up and of course when your drive is full then it can't create temp files and so oh okay i understand the problem there On Twitter, I got that

1:28:04 Oh, switch back to the Mac! Upgrade to Windows 10! You should've tried Mint like Dvorak said. It's like work on your material people By the way I blocked every single one of those people who did that. I'm so tired of the amateur comedians when i'm actually asking for some help and then it's like Put a timecode for that one. Yeah, it was just oh man I can't believe people are so mean but I also figured out I know why we like Linux it's obvious

1:28:40 Our show is the Linux of podcasting. It's exactly, it's the same problem! Takes a while to get into it you got to try it a couple times and over the years its worked better The quality of work is really depending on where downstream from everything we have to get good mainstream clips We are the Linux of podcasts I'm telling you that's why thats why we attract these kinds of people And I'm proud of that. Well, Roy definitely was irked does Roy want a karma for that or just wants to move on? Give him one just anyway. I think so too. You've got karma coming in as our last is executive producer Stephanie Bell who does not have a note she's in Great Britain. I did could not find an email from her under Stephanie anything or bell anything

1:29:31 So if she has something to tell us, I hope she sends it in somehow that we can identify it the email stream. Yeah, I'm looking now and I don't see anything either so... She gave me $333 dollars and I would just throw some karma out for her. Okay? You've got karma! Jim Bennett Toronto Ontario 23456 Adam he says Adam, ITM Adam. It's been exactly one year since my lost my dad! I'm sorry to hear about your own dad's passing and hope your family is doing okay. Underlayed, I'm certain that qualified for a knighthood if you donations ago but wanted to note the if you cease using the term Candinavia this will be my last contribution right okay so we have the show don't cave to haters

1:30:26 I'm confused now. We had a Canadian citizen say that if i ever use that term again he'd unsubscribe! Yeah, well Jim Bennett is at 23456 in Toronto Ontario If somebody ups the ante you'll reconsider from now on it's still Candidnavia. I agree. I think Candidnavia is in the Candidnavians seem to be fine with it and thank you very much Jim thank you Yes, and then Zachary McLean comes in next at Cottage Grove Minnesota nuts 200 that's not a big group today. Thanks to the W ATP for mentioning the show wait w ATP Thanks to W ATP for mentioning the show what's W ATP? I have no idea well apparently this got this gut Zachary to listen

1:31:18 Yeah, I started listening two weeks ago. He's already donating love John C Devorak on CNET Wow excellent not many people have seen you on scene that but you did a great job apparently yeah, I was doing my CD-ROM reviews there Twin Cities check in de douche him since it's by request only wink all right You've been d douched I hope to keep giving you love. Okay, now i'm a little stumped. W-A-T-P it must be a podcast as it ends in P Oh who are these podcasts? Oh okay we were... Who are these podcasts yeah that's very good We were on who are these podcasts No! We were highlighted on one of their shows That's what I am saying, that is what I am saying they highlighted us when did they do this? oh It was awhile ago

1:32:15 But I guess he just listened to it two weeks ago. Maybe recently again, I've listened on and off quite a bit actually that show because although sometimes they go off with less high quality podcasts... And that's hard to imagine because there is so much high quality out there! Somebody said there are like 700 thousand podcasts this week of which 100 thousand will be gone in two weeks Of course. Well, a lot of people can't keep up the pace thanks to those guys out there that's you know yeah that's a good podcast I would recommend listening to it i used to do the show on Sirius we'd be promoting all the podcasts and we play little bits of them for two hours a day until they saw the danger

1:33:04 It's like yeah, this is probably not a good idea to promoting this and we're gonna do our own thing. Yeah Can't do this anyway last associate executive producers Glenn Bukowski Actually who calls himself a dude named Glen Bukowski from Sarasota Florida And he comes in at 200 bucks and has a note okay He wrote in it's real no because you can hear that after my last donation John requested that I report back with the results of the Trump jobs karma I received. The jobs karma worked well and i am now working in a much better dude named Ben job with significantly higher pay over three years ago, I hit my friend Chris Sirvelera that's it...in the mouth and he has become an avid listener to the show but uh

1:33:59 but on the house. Please call him out as a douchebag. Don't be shy guys, I hit him again! I would like that double down in the first Trump-only Jobs Karma that you played for me which contains clapping at the end please also play John Brennan's guilty until alleged and slave meat can eat macaroni and cheese now See, this is the problem. Oh by the way I'll finish this before I make my comment Thanks again for all your hard work and for providing the best podcast in the universe Uh...I don't know- I mean we have a variety of Trump jobs karmas Yes Now this one he said has clappy at the end Yeah yeah I know which one he means Okay so you know which one he means? Mmhmm

1:34:50 So that's probably the only one we should use because it has been proven. Well, no I don't think so! First of all nowhere is dynamic its very low energy and unless its specifically requested which appears to double your income apparently I'm gonna stick with the classic. I would not just do that all of a sudden, that's not a good idea. Okay now this one you're going to play him his favorite though Yes, I'll play his favorite and first I'm gonna play Brennan People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity Jobs jobs jobs

1:35:31 You've got karma. Told you! It's very low energy, but it must have some secret spark going on somewhere. Maybe it creates a low pressure zone of karma and gets... sucks it right in there. Pressure zone of karma? Yeah. I want to thank all these folks these are our executive associate executive producers for show 1196 And I want to remind people, we do have another show coming up on Sunday. Adam will still be in Holland and we'll be doing it from there. Yes and thank you to these executive producers and associate executive producers who scored that credit and you can use it anywhere the credits are recognized even

1:36:10 LinkedIn, and everyone seems to be using it for the jobs karma. LinkedIn is the place to be that's where these things pay off but you can also... And I like seeing that on Twitter if you put in there in their profile description and if I see that I'm gonna follow you John's gonna follow you which will do something Hopefully it'll make me more visible if I follow more people. I'm so suppressed on Twitter and my own partner who have been doing a show with for 12 years doesn't even get my tweets Olive Theory. This is true, by the way. Yeah it's quite annoying. I get about when you see this is only recent where it's been usually the show tweet has always gone into my feed which it should since they follow you but more recently I've only been getting every other show tweet and then I complain about it yeah and I can see it happening because I tweeted out and and I think on the last show where you had this issue

1:37:07 It took a good 10-15 minutes before I got to retweet, so and so i know that it's being pushed away. Fine whatever uh do we have a couple of make good here? This is from Sir Aro, Knight of the Knots. And he said thank you for all what you and John do I've heard you say on multiple shows this note is from a knight so we need to read it yes We do that frequently You can imagine how disappointed I, a knight was when the note I wrote about my smoking hot wife becoming a dame was not read I pulled it up and shared it with her after the donation segment, so no need to cover now. As the only new entrant to the roundtable for The Thanksgiving Show she was very honored and excited to become a dame She appreciates what NOAA Agenda does for the greater good And I apologize we missed it We absolutely do read notes from Knights So I will read them

1:38:02 relevant part of your Thanksgiving Day message. My donations from the credit union allowed me to reach knighthood a couple of years back and I now see that i have reached the baronet level, however I would rather bestow a dame hood upon my smoking hot wife! I now believe that couples that are able to recognize the torrents of BS coming at them no matter what source it is coming from are much happier than couples stuck only in dementia A or B. Call Calling out someone on TV as a liar is much more fun when done in unison with your spouse The love of my life simply wishes to go by the title of Dame Kitty She got that and she also had her cookies and Kahlua at the round table. Thank you very much, sir Arrow Knight-Of-The-Knots

1:38:41 And then we had a special emergency health karma from Sir Kilgore Trout of the dude's name Ben. So another night note that we will read, I've been enrolled in the $4 week program for awhile now but i'm sending this quick note to ask for some karma from my younger brother Chris just learned he is scheduled for surgery this Friday morning after being on a wait list for six months The estimated nine hour procedure is to treat acoustic neuroma non cancerous growth on the cranial nerve He'd been keeping his diagnosis quiet until deciding on the surgery earlier today brain surgery can always use a good dose of no agenda karma Good luck, Chris. Thanks for continuing to bring us the best podcast in universe from Sir Kilgore Trout of the dudes named Ben and we're gonna throw in this special goat twist for his brother there you've got

1:39:32 Karma. Never underestimate the power of the karma and if you want to support the program in our value for value network all you have to do is go to the following website Dvorak dot org slash N A And remember it's always Candanavian until it isn't Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth Order Where were you kid been waiting for you shut up slave they I was watching some Australian television and There's a very interesting transsexual in In Australia who is saying some things that are very unpopular with the trans activists community

1:40:34 Which often consists of people who are not trans at all. And it's very consistent with things we've heard from the official No Agenda tranny, Ali Jade and I wanted to share this interview because this Katie McGregor you might have seen her she used to be Malcolm McGregor and think she transitioned when she was even in the armed forces Have you seen her around? You know what I'm talking about. She's a sports writer... No, I do not but i'm going to look her up! Yeah so she's a sports writer writes about cricket freelance sports writer and was kicked off of pretty much every writing job she had when she said things about the trans community similar to the clips I'm going to play here but being a trans woman I thought it was interesting

1:41:17 to listen to her take, as she is much more in line I think with the way you and I think about particularly the transitioning of children at very early age. And we'll start with, well kind of her stance about the trans activist community. The ABC you were supposed to go for the ABC they appeared to have dropped you. The trans movement you tweeted and made many comments that they regard as heretical They've dropped you Very happy to be at war with the trans movement by the way I think their dangerous i think some of the ideology there purporting to stand for is sinister

1:41:55 and frankly it's at odds with what a lot of trans people think. Frankly this unelected cabal don't speak for plenty of trans people who are quite conservative, I happen to be religious, a believer in God i have a lot of trans friends who are the same but this cabal mainly based out of Victoria where half of them are on the payroll of the Andrews government. They are the voice of transgenderism in Australia and they speak for no one but themselves, but some of what they stand for is appalling and yeah I'm no longer Flavour Of The Month at the ABC. I was dumped with no explanation last year as a cricket commentator uh i tweeted today I have been on Sky five times in the last fortnight

1:42:39 I have been on the ABC once this calendar year and i did that purely because i wanted to meet Jordan Peterson. I haven't been on the ABC for 12 months So the ABC, I didn't know they say it that way. The ABC is clearly anti-trans at least this trans woman because yeah if you're not toeing the trans line then you get ostracized and now let's dive into the kids issue What do you what? Do you make of children school kids being pushed into hormone therapy or even surgery by teachers and doctors and parents Where do you think the line should be drawn? I think there are some misperceptions on this. Unless i'm missing something, I don't believe children are eligible for surgery

1:43:23 I think kids at 13 or thereabouts are entitled to get hormone blockers, providing they have a medical diagnosis. And I think that's appropriate providing there is medical and parental involvement. I am more sceptical and as you know, I opposed the Safe Schools Program when it came out. There is some stuff on gender fluidity in this... The point that Rita made earlier There are two genders, male and female. I am a transsexual. I am not a woman. I can't live comfortably as a male. I arrived at that decision very painfully but in my view there are two genders there are not 52 genders. I just don't get where this nonsense is coming from and it's being peddled in schools and I think it's dangerous but I don't want for a moment

1:44:16 to be seen to impede legitimate medical treatment for kids who are suffering genuine discomfort about their gender. They should get the best care that's available, namely psychiatric intervention and at a certain point providing they are genuinely transgendered and have dysphoria then they should be given appropriate medical support but surgery shouldn't happen before 18 and I'm sure it doesn't So all of that is apparently an issue. You hear what he said there at the end? Yeah, he says I think it doesn't well It does maybe well Maybe not in Australia But it doesn't the United States or at least that's we're led to believe yeah some that was not like yes nice Please just say it Say just say man nobody can do that but the 52 72 I thought was a gender number. I think he's off by 20 Breaking news

1:45:12 I just got a text from President Trump. You know, this is on... Now, I have ignored all of the you know they keep wanting 100 bucks 100 bucks now we're in the now i've been moved down to another category. I shall read it to you. Gosh this is great! There's so much here I can't even keep track of how many there are here This is this is the latest shoot just pass by Hold on, the OTG phone has to... It's like a comedy. It is I have to scroll through all you know do you know how many messages i get from the Trump campaign on a daily basis with all the matching it's another match except that just scrolled through they're gonna match oh that's that's good they're gonna match see finance update president trump asked you where your donation was don't let him down in this impeachment fight donate in the next hour for three times match

1:46:07 But now wait, here's the next one. This is today. President Trump colon first quid pro quo then bribery now treason? They are liars and frauds! Let's end this scam donate $35 dollars now they're really trying aren't they they went from a 200 to 100 and now it's 35 yeah you're gonna be your next step is going to be chip in three bucks I'm gonna get kicked off the list if Yeah, well don't the 35 is too high. If you chip in at the three buck level They'll jack it back up to the next level and then maybe give it another shot I don't respond to messages like this And besides I only donate two campaigns to get on the list and I'm on the list. I would like you to do something Mm-hmm. I'm not on that list. I'm on the yeah, oh yes Would you like me to sign you up? No no God

1:47:02 People do that to me all the time. I don't know why anyone would do something like that, so here's what i'd like you to do... I'd like you is to sense a note back MIFT saying that you gave more than this before and now you're saying to me, because you know they don't track any of this. No. At any real level? Of course not. They track probably some big deal if your dropping a grand their going to be tracking ya but your down there so I gave you 100 bucks last time and now youre telling me i didnt give anything what's wrong with you! Okay ill do it. And see what happens

1:47:47 It's probably as effective as me tweeting back at the coffee machine telling my thought they were assholes. Yeah, it didn't reply to me either so Unless you put the word stop in there somewhere You don't get a reply from these systems But I will try it I will try it and I'll try it after the show of course anything for the show John anything I have a clip that was on Democracy or Deutsche Welle. I'm going to ask you about this because dogs are really valuable in Europe? Some dogs, I guess!

1:48:24 Well, here play this black market dogs clip. Dogs like these can bring in lots of money dealers are trying to peddle a puppy in Berlin we recorded the attempt on a hidden camera oh but she's cute where is she from? Animal welfarist Stephan Klipstein seen here on the left witnesses scenes like this almost daily He finds suspicious ads on the internet and alerts the police. The illegal trade in dogs is a multi-billion euro business. This is another typical ad, the dog's presented by itself on his sofa and has bad eye inflammation. A respectable dog breeder would never present his dog like that. And the 500 Euro price is way too cheap!

1:49:08 From a regular breeder, it would cost from 1000 to 1200 euros. Oh yeah! Purebred dogs they go for that kind of money? Sure this and this makes nothing but sense that they are all over this in Europe because dogs are people too we have human trafficking now we have dog trafficking Dogs are people too Most of these dogs apparently being sold in Germany by these but in the gray market black mark German Shepherds No, there's strays. Did they bring from Romania and Poland? They find a bunch of stray dogs They patch him up shave him a little bit and sell it as a full as a thoroughbred I

1:49:59 Uh-huh, sure. Sure 500 bucks. It's a steal of course I guess The dogs are people too meme is seeping into people's brains though. It's, People really equate dogs with human beings This is a local news report warning everybody that we must be very careful with the holidays particularly with our furried human friends because they will eat your ornaments So this is Gatsby and she has a potpourri of holiday trouble most recently eating what did you say? 15 apple centerpiece Here's the deal It's the holidays. It's a dangerous time for pets. Today on First at Four, we have the information you need to enjoy the holidays and keep people like Gatsby... People? Animals! Like Gatsby safe." Yeah she tried to save herself but she said people like Gatsby She called the dog a person Well that what she said yeah You're right People like Gatsby Wow Here is the deal Here is the deal Oh there are some people too I know Joe Here is the deal Okay

1:51:01 A cornucopia of... teas. It's getting bad out there. Teas? Yes, as in tea dropping I was watching ESPN. Oh, tease! I thought you meant like PG Tips? No no no tease dropping the tease i was watching espn as you know i often do. I had one the other day lost it was one of these... It was right in the middle of a good clip oh i gotta get that and couldn't find it again. Oh i have this one from Dan Orlovsky. You know him from ESPN? I don't know. Well, here he comes. I love you guys! You know why everyone like gets so exhilarated when they climb Everest? Because it's the most difficult mountain to climb right to catch and get to that peak not anymore i think there are other mountains. Right thanks

1:51:52 But the Ravens have to go climb that mountain. Like, I love Baltimore but that's the biggest mountain this NFL has ever seen when it comes to organization until someone... Even the guy there said Mountain interrupted him and said Mountain and the guy doesn't take the clue and keeps going Mountain. He keeps saying Mountain. Mountain. Well he is a quarterback. It's a former quarterback so what do you expect? But this was surprising, a national advertisement for oil of Olay. Is skincare from around the world better than Olay? To find out, Olay faced the world. We tested our vitamin B3 formula and beat Japan's top moisturizers South Korea is most innovative and even the $400 French cream. Olay Regenerist face 131 premium products from 12 countries over 10 years. Olays hydration was unbeaten every time.

1:52:49 Anything. Now you're doing a national spot Wow! A national commercial Somebody paid her to say unbeaten And a lot of money that's thousands of dollars, a national spot That-that's a big ass deal and then... For over 10 years Olay's hydration was unbeaten every time Unbeaten Unbeaten and she'll get residuals from that. She usually gets $10 less. Oh yeah, she'l come away with a half-a-million dollars. Well I don't know about that! It's possible... But secondly it certainly in the ten grand range if if it airs a lot during the Christmas but unbeaten? And someone in the world says hey that's great this is the millennials they're not permeated by agencies and ad buys. And they are all down with it

1:53:42 Yeah, they're totally down with it. Oh man! Yeah we're doomed yeah I've been corresponding with one of our homeless producers Gregory Jacobs he has in the San Diego. If you have to be homeless that's the place to be The guy clearly is incredibly intelligent like over-the-top and and he has a phone he has an Obama phone so he can send me messages And he, I mean this is some disturbing stuff. But then he sent me this one clip which he recorded on his phone as a vocal fry from Gregory Jacobs. I just want you to have the same experience that i did like oh that should be interesting. What else is for vocal fry? Okey dokey and you hear that cop car in the background! Oh man Gregory be safe out there. Well that's a topper not really okay let's see what we got on the clip list

1:54:45 How about, I'm going to get a few of these out of the way. First of all we never really did the update on BBC Hong Kong elections so i got two-parter here. Good. There's Hong Kong elections BBC starter. Okay Chinese government has responded to the landslide victory for pro democracy candidates in Hong Kong elections by emphasizing that the territory will always be ruled from Beijing and has warned against further protests Pro-democracy candidates won almost 90% of the seats in the local elections and the result is being seen as an outright rejection of Carrie Lam's leadership, and a massive show support for the anti-Beijing protests that have been going on there for months.

1:55:26 Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports now from Hong Kong. This is not the sort of media attention usually given to the winners of a local council election, but last night's victory for Hong Kong's Democrats was no ordinary win it was an unprecedented landslide these newly minted young politicians won 85% percent of all the seats contested Wow I didn't hear anything about this Of course. Why? I'm sorry, what am i thinking so so what's going on with that So they're changing the local government Yeah it's not gonna do much good I mean they also had that situation did the Chinese are ignoring this The also the situation where they passed this bill and Trump finally signed off on its condemning you know The Chinese are not... Now this is the uh the Uighur Muslim Bill I think is what this is

1:56:22 I don't know that. Yeah, it's possible yeah but here's the kind of response to it this is a not sure where this came from China condemns Trump pro-Hong Kong laws Beijing is strongly criticizing bills on Hong Kong China's foreign ministry firmly opposes them accusing the US of meddling in its domestic affairs It says the move violates international law and basic principles of international relations The Hong Kong regional government also criticized these bills that Trump signed into law. It said the move interfered in its internal affairs and damaged relations with the United States. The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of China's State Council said the act severely violated international law and basic norms governing international relations

1:57:08 The liaison office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong also condemned the move saying it was essentially supporting the actions of rioters and Was an attempt to destabilize the region. I don't know where that clip came from well this China News Service Yeah, well there's two there's two bills one was a resolution condemning The actions in Hong Kong which is like okay? It's a resolution which just says we disagree but this other one I think they had in their provisions to stop Huawei from selling their stuffs to the United States. And, it's not a block but there is some provision in there that certainly would be something that made China nervous about that? Personally, I think you're absolutely right and the reason why

1:58:01 We know what we did with Cisco. We know, we know what's in the Cisco stuff! We're spying on everybody through the big routers, the big iron, the heavy metal... So of course we don't want China to do the same thing to us and that's all that it is. That's the only reason you make such a fuss? Yeah, of course I mean they're not doing it to D-Link. D-Link That's what I put my open WRT on, man. On D-Link? Yes! There was some other China stuff that i was tracking... Let me see.. China bars US military from Hong Kong ports over support for protesters so that's a kind of

1:58:48 Yeah, here it is. It was the Uighur bill that the US House passed demanding sanctions over human rights abuses in Xinjiang camps Do we know anything? I mean, I've heard about this. Everyone seems to be in universal agreement that it's happening. I've seen – I've read stories about – You have seen pictures. I have seen pictures. I've heard stories that I'm wicked on the mic and on the tutorials. It's – I wonder how true it is! Is there really a camp in Uyghur province that has a million Muslims incarcerated in kind of concentration camp?

1:59:29 Do we know doing a very good job of denying it? I'm still waiting for proof. I've only seen some stories and some yeah, some pictures of the outside of a building I just I wonder well I don't know what kind of proof you're gonna be able to get out of China especially Of that particular facility But you don't see him denying it which seems to me to be the first step in into being a bunch of bullcrap Somebody got to say now is not happening those are old barracks from World War two hmm They're not saying that. Well, we have producers in China Yeah but they're not going down to that part of the... That area is not a pleasant area Not a good vibe? I mean it's like going too well It's not bad. I mean its not a place to hang out Probably not especially if you're nosing around

2:00:21 We are also going to talk about Iran because we had some personal stories and Iran is in the news in the Netherlands again today as the Netherlands has joined INSTEX, I-N-S-T-E-X. The INSTEX which is the European...I think it's How many are on now? I think there, let me see. Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands Norway Sweden joining in with...I'm pretty sure France Germany and the UK who established INSTEX and this is to combat the United States locking Iran out of the SWIFT payment network which is pretty much the network for all payments international at least certainly in dollar payments. Maybe they can go, maybe their Iranian's can go to pop money? Well

2:01:13 I mean more egregious is the fact that these countries are doing it. You know, they're creating a shadow banking system with this or shadow banking transfer system and they were all kind of if you recall when we first reported on it they were all kind of hedgy yeah well they were just talking about getting it done but now they've actually said they're going to do it and by January 31st uh it should be in full swing and these countries will be doing trade with Iran subverting the US sanctions. This is not gonna stand I don't think so either, it's very bold Trump was so irked about these meetings over there that nobody's covering this we hear about on our show there's one only story going on around Iran I do have a clip where they apparently they commandeered a vessel

2:02:01 This is a clip as Iran caught smuggling weapons to Yemen. The Pentagon says the US warship has captured a vessel with missile parts believed to be linked to Iran, the seizure was made in the northern Arabian Sea and the crew has been transferred to the Yemeni Coast Guard Washington accuses Tehran of illegally smuggling arms to Houthi rebels fighting the Yemeni government. Yeah, you got to do it legally like we do! You know make a big deal out of it and sell it and say hey We're selling the Saudi Arabia to go kill some people in Yemen. You gotta do it with big fanfare Yeah that's legit Now the last time I was here had dinner with Lex Harding who was my first boss And were still good friends amazing

2:02:46 and his wife is Iranian. They frequently go to Iran, in fact he was locked out of coming to the United States for 10 years because he had been to Iran and somehow he finagled enough with the embassy that they got a visa for the United States which forget the exact language but it's something to the effect of you've received this permission As an exception to the proclamation, the proclamation being I guess the President's Proclamation? Well, I didn't know this. So you're telling me that because he visit...you know, he is a Dutch citizen right? Yes, yes

2:03:29 So he visits Iran and now the US won't let him in the country because he visited. He went to get a, and this is two years ago I went to get a visa And they said that we see an Iranian stamp here in Tehran Well my wife is from Iran she lives with me then she has a Dutch passport now She's dual citizen and they said oh sorry You can't come into the United States. That is on the books right now, that is the proclamation, the immigration... But how's this different than people bitching and moaning and groanin' about the fact that if you go to Israel they won't let ya into Saudi Arabia if you got a Israeli stamp on your passport?

2:04:07 I've agreed, not going to argue that. What was interesting is her telling me about... she has a little store there. The way it works is basically she's been supporting her entire family which is quite vast because the economy is completely dead they were running a little rug shop or something that she had opened up and And the family was running it and there's just no customers. There's no money, there's no food It's really bad! And I don't think... Well, No, I know that this is not... Is that me? Go away you scammers

2:04:51 I don't think this is discussed or reported on at all, but these sanctions really are hurting the people of Iran and it just keeps on going. And the news always just kind of you know Iran this, Iran that... But there are a lot of people there who are in trouble because of these sanctions. It's really killing the country! Well that's kind of the idea of these sanctions but it never works. Yeah but its warfare if you hurt the people like that it's war yeah Well, the idea but the idea let's do the idea. Okay The idea is that well if we if we put the clamps on this country and make everyone suffer Then they'll rise up against their rulers And take over the place and make everything fine into like us We tried this Well, we've tried it and I think we just do it now out of sadism Okay

2:05:52 No, I don't want my name on that out of sadism. I'm not in on that. I think it's sadism! It's just like watching the YouTube videos where some guy does something nasty and falls into a hole after that. Some sadistic kind of mindset allows these things to go on... Well- I dunno. They just want their whole country to dry up and blow away, I assume It's not working. It's like the Cuba thing, it's the same thing Well it's not working and then we have this alternative payment network to make things work for them and this is going to come to a head And I really feel that United States media Is not even looking at it For whatever reason What do you mean for whatever reason? Trump! Oh I'm sorry Impeach! Impeach of course! John C Devorak baby

2:06:53 Today's Teddy K. He's an OTG kind of guy. OTG kinda guy! That's right, we got the OTGs on the no agendas and there is some news to report as the worldwide camera network is growing with this I specifically mean The Ring doorbell Yep Favorite oh yes so now the province or I should say these the city of Chowda In the Netherlands, you might pronounce it as Gouda. It's where the cheese and the candles comes from. I've been to that little town! Oh did you go to The Cheese Factory?

2:07:34 No, I just got off the...I was on the rail and it said Gouda or whatever. And I said wow look at this! This is the place where they make the cheese so i jumped off and wandered around to downtown. You didn't see any cheese? Then I got out of train went back. Well They are now subsidizing the inhabitants of Gouda with 250 euros if they install a ring doorbell and take a subscription so that the cops can then see the recorded video. Oh, I can see that yeah So they're actually subsidizing these citizens

2:08:21 Yes, who would take the deal? Everyone's taking the deal. Are you kidding they love it? I mean that's sure That's the cost of the whole thing The ring doorbell cost wasn't a 90 bucks 100 bucks and then you get free and then it's like, yeah 20-20 No, it's like 40 bucks a year for the subscription Yeah And now how we just have the government of this fine town or just saying oh You know what? Oh, you know what will just subsidize it then cheesy ploy We have from the ABC, Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It looks like they are moving quickly towards the micro grid idea by outfitting their customers with the so-called peak smart technology. Peak smart

2:09:13 And this I'm reading now from the ABC. It allows the electricity network company to send a signal that turns the air conditioning down for a short while during times of peak demand when the network is feeling the strain. We cycle down the compressor, which is what creates the cooling part of the air conditioner says Peter Price an executive general manager at Energy Queensland. It cycles down for 20 minutes, the fan still runs blowing out cold air. Customers don't even know we've done it but it pulls down the peak demand enough to make a difference! Mr Casey got a rebate that covered about half the cost of installing the air conditioners and he's a happy customer. Everyone is happy. Yeah so that is the future where you will give total control to your

2:10:00 to your energy company so that they can then determine what temperature you have in your own home. And people are happy to do it! Eventually Google owns it all Oh yeah, Google's totally gonna own it Now while on the OTG segment I do have a note to read from producer Ken whose written...I've gone back and forth with him on a couple of items He's a ham And so we went back and forth, because he said oh you use a ham. I said you should too apparently it's an old timer. He's a nam A few weeks ago he writes while watching a PBS examination of the campfire debacle in California i thought how critical would have been for a couple of hams to get involved cell towers and phone lines had been liquefied decimated! A couple decades ago in Los Angeles I was a member of the LAPD Ham Watch

2:10:55 In wide areas of the valley north of downtown LA, LAPD officers could not communicate with dispatch on the other side of the mountain range. The bad guys figured that out and officers were getting shot and crime was skyrocketing. An officer who patrolled that area had a ham license and fired up his rig whenever he was in a bind. You gotta read that again, but he fired up his rig. Come on man put a little hard into his rig. Yeah But a couple of times He suggested it in the chain up in the chain and this cell The call went out for volunteers our ham watch link soon became essential and cops were getting their licenses en masse

2:11:44 The 1994 Northridge earthquake epicenter was a short bike ride from my house. Landlines and electricity were out, but I was able to get my Jeep out of the garage. My little Kenwood 733 model became the comm center for about the first four hours. Wow! Cell phones were few and far between in those days. With cyber war upon us, it's a no-brainer for China, Russia or Iran et al to take out our communications at will Now that I've written that, I'm going to go dig up my old rigs and see if they all still work Thanks

2:12:24 Well, and you know how long will it take before Energy Queensland says you know we've really got to turn off everybody's internet for a little while. You know peak times, we can't have you on the Internet or whatever the problem is it makes so much sense just to take the test take the test It's very simple. Grab a couple of those cheap China rigs, the bail fangs... Bail fangs? There is not one dude named Ben listening to this show and there are plenty of dudes named Ben variously that can't just take, without studying could go take it. Without studying but all you have to do is just go to the ARRL dot net they have the current questions with the proper answers published all you have to do is know what the answer is its multiple choice the answers will be out of order from the test from the prep test duh but yeah you can read it through once and still get it then you buy a couple these $25 rigs

2:13:26 Throw one in your car throw it in the kitchen throwing you just have them everywhere. I think just in case that's all Okay, alright ham boy alright we gotcha and then I do have a little update on my favorite OTG phone of the moment this is the The Alcatel Go Flip 3. Not to be confused with the Alcatel Flip, which was shit underpowered no good This is the one you want to have it also has the 4G It's got a lot of things in there I have there is a little chink in the armor though The first thing to note is I have made some phone calls on this

2:14:11 It is dynamite. I mean, really it's almost like being transported back in time to make a phone call on the flip phone because it adheres to the curvature of your head for most people John Kerry needs a special version but it fits nicely you can hear people properly not like that slab that you're pressing up against your cheek trying to position the hole right over where your ear opening is This is a if you want to talk to people on the phone, which I know is a weird concept But I do it a lot more since I can't do much more with it or at least not fast It's a great phone to talk on here's the rub when you hang up There is nothing more satisfying than that click. You know we just see Just click it closed and it's supposed to hang up The problem is when you do that you click it closed you hear beep

2:15:11 From the closed phone. You always hear the last second of the phone disconnecting while it's already closed Does that make sense what I'm saying? Yeah, and this annoys you It's so dissatisfying The whole point... Do you like the finality of this? Yes, yes! You have the explosive like... And there's no finality if it's gonna make a beeping sound. Nooo! Of course not it's very weak. It's huge user interface issue otherwise the phone is... I think that's solid note to the CEO of Alcatel. Please immediately change that

2:15:51 And you might want to get that as the report and now out that the iPhone 11 Pro still collects location data even when you have it all turned off Apple says that's desired Behavior mm-hmm. I'm sure it is Yeah, I'm sorry not a bug. I'm sure it is So again, you know consider what you're using? It's not just the tracking It's also just do not want to use the thing because it's so bad Oh And try some Linux while you're at it. The OTG Reports on your No Agenda Show Well, let's take a little another short clip just to keep us up here on the Space Force update. Ooh! Been waiting for that. Russia's president is accusing the US of viewing space as a potential theater of war Vladimir Putin says the rapid development of America's space command has prompted Moscow to ramp-up its own sector. Putin insists he is against militarizing space Donald Trump says he wants the U.S. to dominate space. Space force

2:16:56 I think there's something else going on here, but this is a little radical. But second half of show stuff. that the Russians jumped in on this with this complaining uh so they could get involved with Space Force because this is all to set up shop and space to stop the alien invasion coming. No, what are you talking about? We were finally getting everyone's getting their act together because like damn it man! The Israelis they got bases there we gotta do something about this I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda imagine all the people who could deal with us oh yeah that'd be fun I have a few people to thank for show 1196 and we're heading to show 1200 by the way.

What does this worth to you this work that we're doing It's very different too many different people and I think the big revelation was just that

2:24:40 that people were interested in supporting the show financially for the value that they receive from it, which is why you now are immediately called a producer. But also the numbers themselves became content, where we have double nickels on the dime. You hear it all the time there's 5 4 3 2 There's all these 6969 The threes that the six this is the boobs This oh it's become content which is really It's an unbelievable concept and I'm gonna do the karmas And then I want to share a little clip as the virus

So first I want to thank you guys and everyone who came in under $50 this is for people who are on our subscription programs diligently every single week or month or sometimes by episode, are on a subscription program and also people who want to be anonymous so we do not read notes under fifty dollars to make sure we don't mess anything up Thank you so much for supporting us!

Tim, your executive producer from episode 962 hosting that Spokane Washington seems like a lot of West Coast 7 p.m. local time Jeffrey Aikenberg is hosting that at the Nectar Wine & Beer We have the Chicago meetup, Chicago Illinois. This is the big one it's the Midwest furry convention we cannot wait to see these photos and I do expect a video of furries singing the Gitmo Nation national anthem. I will be very disappointed if you don't get that. I think it also would be good they had their furries just yell shut up slave or... A couple things yeah but we need video

2:29:18 It needs to be video. Yeah, and in fact as much as we can get and we do have a couple of submissions from our Meetup reports Let me see here I've got Yes, I have audio first of all I finally have the Australia the Sydney meet up Gitmo Nation anthem which i've been trying to play for three episodes is crapping out We have a winner In the morning, Gitmo Nation We are all charged up to be Human resources and servants in our lands and our ships at sea From east to west Down under to the lowlands

2:30:07 and beyond. We are happy and distracted slaves Now listen to the very end here. Could you please leave immediately without fuss? Yeah, you can get kicked out of the bar! These are really great I don't know that everybody has to do that because everyone kind of knows the words... Where was this? Australia

2:30:43 Sydney now most bars at least the European ones especially when you get to the bars in Germany These people are constantly singing. Yeah, but they also had a goat's head and a whole bunch of other weird things I think if you're gonna sing loudly don't bring the goathead Yeah, probably right. Now we did get some and I really appreciate the songs and you know we have a number of these and you know that...and i think it's almost Requirement that you have a meetup that you sing the song. I really like that We're not gonna play it every single show in The Meet Up Report, but we did get to audio meet up reports The first one here is the Kitchener meet-up Hey guardians of reality This is sir strumming these stinky Swedish fish night at the bog of eternal stench were all hanging out here a bunch of slaves for your imagine

2:31:38 In the bar and you overhear this Like honey, let's move to another table. These guys are nuts a guardians of reality This is sir strumming the stinky Swedish fish night of the bog of a turtle stench We're all hanging out here a bunch of slaves first meet up in Kitchener went pretty well Everyone is not triggered and we're just gonna pass around the table and say yo Oh And this is local for 2033 Katherine the patient proof that meetups are not just sausage fest.

This is Brian also having a good time at the meetup still a douchebag soon to be a knight in the morning now that's a meet up report model meet-up report beautiful so I'm so i'm in the bar like you said next to this group yeah and my wife turns to me she says hey what's going on? And I say Shriners Shriners. We need the hats! Shriners... I love those shriner hats. Yeah, well yeah i think we're headed there and then we had the Puerto Rico meetup uh hosted by our very own Jambo Joe Winky from The Cannon Club in Old San Juan Puerto Rico this is Jambo Joe and John Henry Sir John of the Zika Wow

2:33:18 Excellent. So we still don't know why Jambo Joe is there? No, no he's probably opening up a new store who knows it's a new market for him you know he's gonna be a billionaire the first official... He has the potential. He does have that he knows how to market stuff And then the value for value model something happened this week, which is worth mentioning Dave Rubin started a new company and his explanation for this was very interesting I'm very happy that he has seen the light you know Dave Rubin. I think he was Was he doing commercials at any point before he went to patreon?

2:34:02 I think he may have. Yeah, I think there was some maybe YouTube money and then there was de-platforming or demonetizing and then he went to Patreon... Pulled a rug out from under him And then you know he looked at his 10% that Patreon takes and is like well That's no good! And then he decided to launch his own company called locals Locals.com that's a good domain name actually and here is his little pitch which again I found really great on one hand and I do have an issue with what he's doing on the other we officially closed my patreon account For weeks, I had been telling people leave patreon join us at Dave Rubin calm We built out a great site so that we could just do the same fan funding that we were doing on patreon we actually went to

2:34:44 A place where we were offering no rewards. So on Patreon I was doing all these Google Hangouts and we were sending people all this stuff and it was becoming another job unto itself And We then just created Dave Rubin comm and we allowed people to just donate whatever they wanted to do to help us Keep the show independent everything else, and we found that by not even giving rewards Just showing a little bravery just kind of sticking up against big tech, against Patreon in this case that our revenue actually jumped about 30%. So we were actually giving people less rewards and that we were giving them no rewards anymore. And our revenue jumped because people were like oh Dave and Jordan and Sam and a few other people it's like you guys are doing something good and doing something brave- All right I just gotta stop here

2:35:27 Stop with the doing something brave. You're not brave, okay? Oh do something very brave people are not donating because you're brave you have an outstanding product That's all you need and then you just say what is it worth to you in a really bizarre time So as we decided to do that I thought this isn't enough You know I because of a couple years of doing this have built a nice A nice business here and i've got, a great staff and we were able to build us a website And figure out how To fan fund in my garage i'm in My garage right now. My studio is in my home my control room right over there as a guest bedroom and the greenroom Right over there is another guest bedroom We've built an incredible business here and what i realized was i want to start giving the tools

2:36:13 that I've been able to build. I want to start giving them to other creators because these problems are not going away." Now, I have not signed up for Locals but he does talk in this... the whole thing is about half an hour. He does talk about this new business that he started and I'm not really going to say I think that's a good idea Because you're basically going to run into all the same problems. You just walked away from and to say look I had a look here's the deal look, I had a couple of years to build my business and You know he kind of implies that you need these tools And you can bypass those couple of years to start your business this is where I'm gonna say no No it takes time it took us. I'm gonna say a

2:37:08 Five years at least until it became a little bit viable for us. Maybe even six or seven years, do you remember? Two No! Before it was viable I didn't quit my job until Year 5 You didn't have to quit your job Yeah I did What do you mean? Well, eventually you're going to quit your job because you're gonna quit your job. Yeah but then if for a couple... If we knew what we know today it's very easy to get zero through 100 in two years this doesn't take six seven eight years Okay this is interesting but you still have to build it and I think the No Agenda Show recommends you build this yourself! I can only presume Dave Rubin's new business is charging people for these tools

2:37:55 Yeah, I would hope so. But this is... just do it yourself! You don't need tools! That's what you're talking to the choir here. I know that's- I'm speaking to people. This is though he like says what he really said and let's just be honest about it He said, you know this Patreon we could do Patreon ourselves. Pretty much it will do a better page. Copy what Patreons doing and just change the name to the day of Reuben dot com or locals dot com but it's still Patreon for you suckers but meanwhile for me I just did the VIG is missing now get all that minus credit card fees of course which he can pick up by everybody else pickup now this business nonsense

2:38:41 I mean this is genuine. Yeah, that's what it felt like a little bit to me It's like you know yes You're right about it's amazing if you just let people send you whatever they think it's worth although He didn't say it in those words it works But then like oh you can I guess you're gonna? You know they have to make things complicated Yes, I mean nobody wants to just take a look at the simplicity of it The thing is you which I think we learned just before on accident is that simplicity is really the way the world works. If you want it to be simple, you make it simple. That's why we don't have a big staff of producers and engineers- This is this is the main thing! This is where most people are killing themselves with. And also learn to tape live because the post production will kill you. It will kill you

2:39:39 Yeah, this is why no post-production's no good. People have to realize that I mean that's what happened to one of our competitors and they did model after us but they're putting out a good product camera with the name that I can never remember the name of that old podcast They're putting out a great product actually, but it was post-produced take three or four days to get it out the door Yeah, well they also doing video. There's another there's another video which is no reason for that even unfiltered Unfiltered was the name of the show unfiltered very good. It was a very good podcast yeah and Kind of like had no agenda twist they stole a lot of our jingles and things Which you know we groused about now and again? And

2:40:25 Simple but they had too many people that they were doing video and they're doing posting the whole thing up And it was semi rehearsed and almost scripted. It was just like, come on We're gonna get right now we're gonna give away all the secrets is real simple one open-ended two as many payment methods as you can garner. And never be afraid of checks or bank transfers, or anything like that. Be open to that particularly in the United States there's a lot of ways you can transfer money from bank account to bank account for free I would say consistency of if you say you're gonna do it every Thursday then do it every Thursday twice a week on Thursday, Do your show and do it more or less on time. Do it in real-time and then I think the number one secret to this success after you've conditioned people...and you may want to just..I mean I would recommend people also

2:41:23 address and even recognize your listeners as producers, because that's what they are. And the new radio is... What podcasting is has gone way beyond the let me call you my request on the phone line or whatever it is completely interactive your people are making your show If you haven't figured that out, it's never really going to work. So your listeners are your producers. Your producers are the ones who are responsible for keeping the content honest on par on track whatever it is and they're the ones who will support it financially but then above all the reminder and I think the newsletter is of critical importance importance Critical people need to be reminded

2:42:13 And that's it. Is there anything I'm leaving out? Quality product! Above all, if you don't have an outstanding product all the aforementioned will not work at all No it's not gonna work unless you're providing something people really want or need and can't get anyplace else Or it entertains them... we try to do a variety of approaches various, let's say. Where we have entertainment value, we have informational value, we have analysis value, we do what we can but this has a lot to do with the fact that were both older and experienced. Yes you should also be old! We're older experience well travelers are better broadcasters. You should also be old. Be old and then your good to go Yeah the older is better

2:43:02 I finally received my Epstein didn't kill himself bumper stickers. I got them just before I left so i haven't put it on the car yet. Oh, put them on a building in Amsterdam No, I didn't bring them with me they're still at home but there are some interesting things regarding Epstein that have cropped up now two stories this week the first one Jeffrey Epstein's private banker at Deutsche and City found swinging from a rope executive suicide before FBI could question him. Yeah, there was it there was a banker from Deutsche Bank and I have a call into the former New York banker to find out what's going on but there's never any evidence

2:43:44 that he was Jeffrey Epstein's private banker the same way that there was this small aircraft Piper went down in Indiana. And this is a very odd story. The guy apparently had some, had someone just fill up the tank an intern who was working you know like on a jobs program and that's the guy... The story is very sketchy Yeah but then they say this was Jeffrey Epstein's plastic surgeon he must have been killed by the wrong gas I mean come on! There's no evidence Epstein even had plastic surgery but okay

2:44:24 So these things I find very annoying. Very annoying! Every death you could relate to Jeffrey Epstein Yeah, exactly and you know...I just want to point out that since almost the inception of this program We've been talking about elites and sex parties and pedophilia, all kinds of weird things. In fact that's how I got my name The Crackpot! That's how it started with the radio station that got burned down in the Netherlands figuratively speaking And now it's just mainstream chicanery. Now we're just laughing about it like, yeah... Like it's the most normal thing in the world It's not even really news anymore Although the BBC is still staying on the Prince Andrew thing as they interviewed Virginia Roberts and that interview aired this past Monday Now apparently they had already interviewed her before they did the Prince Andrew interview So that's how they knew about the sweating and the dancing

2:45:23 that he responded to, that was impossible because he's a reptile and has to shed his skin every 10 years. So now this piece aired and it's all over for Prince Andrew. Now to that royal scandal in Britain TV viewers tonight saw a dramatic interview with Prince Andrew's accuser Virginia Gouffre called on the public to stand with her against sex trafficking Charlie Daggett on what could be more damaging news for The Prince He knows what happened. I know what happened and there's only one of us telling the truth, and I know that's me." That truth as Virginia Giuffre tells it in her first interview on British soil is that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 years old It was taped before Prince Andrew went public in that widely criticized interview where he strenuously denied all allegations. I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady

2:46:19 None whatsoever. But Jufrese says the prince had sex with her on three occasions She was brought to London by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein where she was instructed to dance with Prince Andrew at a nightclub It's horrible and this guy was sweating all over me like his sweat was like it was raining I have peculiar medical condition which is that I don't sweat or didn't sweat at the time. And then Tufray described what happened next to the townhouse after the club It didn't last very long, the whole entire procedure it was disgusting He wasn't mean or anything but he got up and said thanks walked out

2:47:05 I sat there in bed just horrified and ashamed. It was a wicked time in my life, it was really scary time of my life. I had just been abused by a member of the royal family It is a scandal that refuses to go away and one that has shaken the royal family to the core. In the wake of the crisis, nor the decision has been made for Prince Andrew to step away from all public duties for the foreseeable future." Oh yeah! Oh yeah... He's in the lead. Well I have a question you know? For one thing i realized that i probably had met this guy

2:47:47 Prince Andrew? Yeah, there was some Silicon Valley thing I got suckered into going to. And you know me and uh... Yes i do Okay, I'll go to this because now I'm gonna get to meet Prince Andrew and somebody else or some other celebrity there. Turned out there was like a million people there and you maybe could stand in line he'd come by and do give a high five or whatever. I don't even remember if I actually touched him that could have seen it for sweaty but what's it when you were in England am I just mixing up these princes? Wasn't he always known as Randy Andy? Randy Andy yes Randy Andy oh yeah

2:48:25 Mmm, I don't know no no. No not that I know of I thought he was supposed to be Randy Andy And I thought you're supposed to be gay no Randy Andy because he's just all over the supermodels He had all these buddies who ran modeling companies? He was in the set oh yeah He was in there and quite frankly if you touched him You should go scrub your hands who knows I can't actually remember What the event but I may have which one of those things where I go in something like oh my god, there's too many people here. I'm I can see you go no and turn around and walk right out. I can see you doing Believe me as I've done that many a time now luckily in the United States America We always have our humor and our wits about us we'd like making fun of things the Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself meme is

2:49:17 Very American. I think, uh...I like it It's funny It lifts the spirits and there is nothing like- It lifts the spirit And there is nothing like going into a Walmart and saying hey! I'm looking for my buddy Could you please announce his name? And ask him to come to the register Good afternoon Walmart customers If I may have your attention please Will Mr Clinton Gilgitstein Mr. Clinton killed Epstein

2:50:11 I love that. What's his name? I can't believe somebody is buying it, this is like a joke on the Simpsons Yeah but it works Well yes Clinton killed Epstein What's his first name Clinton what's the last name kill Depp stein okay come on That's one of my favorites Kill Depp Stein you want to leave on this high note or do you want to bring us down with the final clip Well, we got a couple of final clues that could bring us down. Well let's just do this one. This kind of brings us up. Just catch people off with the fact that Brynn and Paige are now out on Google.

2:50:49 The end of an era at Google. The online giants co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are taking a step back from parent company Alphabet, leaving their roles as CEO and president In a joint letter announcing the shakeup the pair said they would remain actively involved but said it was the natural time for change While it has been a tremendous privilege to be involved in the day-to-day management of the company for so long, we believe it's time to assume the role of proud parents offering advice and love but not daily nagging. After founding Google as Stanford graduate students in a garage over two decades ago Page & Brin went on to become one of the tech industry's most successful double acts

2:50:11 I love that. What's his name? I can't believe somebody is buying it, this is like a joke on the Simpsons Yeah but it works Well yes Clinton killed Epstein What's his first name Clinton what's the last name kill Depp stein okay come on That's one of my favorites Kill Depp Stein you want to leave on this high note or do you want to bring us down with the final clip Well, we got a couple of final clues that could bring us down. Well let's just do this one. This kind of brings us up. Just catch people off with the fact that Brynn and Paige are now out on Google.

2:50:49 The end of an era at Google. The online giants co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are taking a step back from parent company Alphabet, leaving their roles as CEO and president In a joint letter announcing the shakeup the pair said they would remain actively involved but said it was the natural time for change While it has been a tremendous privilege to be involved in the day-to-day management of the company for so long, we believe it's time to assume the role of proud parents offering advice and love but not daily nagging. After founding Google as Stanford graduate students in a garage over two decades ago Page & Brin went on to become one of the tech industry's most successful double acts

2:51:37 The Silicon Valley duo moved from Google to Alphabet when it was created in 2015 as part of restructuring, to include new initiatives such as self-driving cars. The pair have been pursuing a more hands off approach for some time... A move that's drawn criticism as Google faces pressure over anti competitive practices and tax avoidance After taking over the reins at Google four years ago Sundar Pichai has become the public face of the firm He'll now also become Alphabet's CEO. While the move is the most significant leadership change at Google since its creation, Page and Brin aren't giving up their ultimate power. Between them they still control 51% of voting rights on Alphabet's board. Is this just a formality? These guys weren't really involved in the day-to-day anymore

2:52:27 Was there about a year ago? I thought the Sundar was doing everything They were their his boss. He was just doing what he was told no, and I didn't realize that's gonna continue By the way with just with them in a lower profile Yeah The thing is what are they gonna do anything? I'm sure they're gonna do something big and public and have something to do with space or some Another one of those I didn't realize that Sergey everybody goes into space Sergei now he was married to an Wojcicki Yeah, and divorce and she is the CEO of 23andme what I didn't realize is that Anne's sister Susan is the CEO of YouTube. It's kind of incestuous you think I just didn't realize it until I did never put it all together like wait a minute That's the sister so his sister-in-law got a cushy job. No that's nice
