RET

00:00 PENIS! I'm not gonna be so pe- Growing burger boobs and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here at the frontier of Austin, Texas. Capital of the drone star state in The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where i'm wondering if this bird poop is a gift from North Korea? I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Morning

00:38 Alright, two places to start from bird poop or burger boobs your call sir. Well I don't have much for the bird poop was a one-shot although it was referring to the It was referring to the meteor that broke up over the Marianas, everyone thought was maybe their Christmas gift. But meanwhile of course in the middle of the... I think Guam was hit by Typhoon YouTube! Typhoon YouTube? I don't know anything about this. Look it up. I know there was a typhoon but i didn't know it was called YouTube

01:14 I'm pretty sure. You could be wrong, in fact it was called...I heard the report but never read anything but she said YouTube. I found that interesting and did write down that story is look here's a story where lots of people died and no one's attributing it to climate change And I think it's because they don't have the right reporters. And it's also brown people, who gives a shit? This is not important! Not important...I did want to start off our last show of the year just with a little simple deconstruction

01:51 A reminder what the NO Agenda show is here to help you with and I'm just a little bit disappointed that one of the most emailed articles over the past few days, it started Thursday was the estrogen in The Impossible Burger which apparently is so much estrogen that it will make men grow breasts. Now you saw this Yeah, I did of course. And of course everybody... It was pretty quickly debunked Well but that's not the well the debunking is i guess if you'd have to eat four whoppers a day for five years and then maybe maybe you'd have an A cup

02:34 I think if somebody ate four Whoppers a year of any sort, they'd get an A cup. Or B cup by then What I was disappointed in is that you know where was the no agenda thinking cap people? This is such an easy one and only We're too obsessed with headlines and little synopses And we're not really doing the work anymore It's disappointing so yeah If you look at all the stories there's a source for this report And the source comes from the Tri-State Livestock News. Of course! Also known as, The Newspaper That Ranchers Read

03:15 And it came from a veterinarian who published this. Not even the researcher? No, I just want people to understand that you... It's worth looking for two seconds and then be like oh okay now i understand what's going on instead everyone is online at least I don't think it really made it much too mainstream because why would any any television station or newspaper Do a negative story about Burger King. That's not going to happen, but online it's just... No! Simple deconstruction people. Can you do that voice again? I can't do the voice. It's a natural talent and I can't force it

04:05 Welcome those of you who were just told this morning by Scott Adams on his periscope that you must listen to the no agenda show That was nice. He give us a plug he did finally what what do you find? Listen to a show and I think here's what I think happened I'm gonna think I'm gonna go listen to the interview they did with me Was it last week, I can't remember pretty good showing that I think about it No, I believe what happened. I have not heard it yet...I have not looked at it because it happened just before the show started. I think Comic Strip Blogger—at least he's taking credit for it—put something into the chat and said oh no agenda show and Scott apparently responded to that and said Oh yes! No Agenda is a great podcast you should go and listen. That's what I heard.

04:51 So good work! Well thank you, Comic Strip Blogger. If it was indeed you... Very good work. Yeah I don't... That's what you have to do. I'd like to remind everybody the No Agenda Christmas album Sir Chris Wilson's EP is going to be online for uh you know the full 12 days of Christmas so you have a few more to get it link in the show notes You can find at nashownotes.com and it's well worth that I have a great ender show mix from that album which is the Ring Doorbell Hack. So we'll be listening to that at the end of the show and even though I thought it would be kind of hard to put a something together today there's some interesting news out there

05:38 I'm glad you got it because i ended up getting caught up in a number of retrospectives and I ended with some old clips and I'll do that thing later. What is this? You're going mainstream on me now, like all the M5M boys? No, I am going meta-mainstream so I took a listen for example on The Media Yes, they had a... They did a retrospective of the 20 minutes. That's right! Yeah, the worst I only listened to it the first minute and a half and i was like no and someone emailed it to us And was very enthusiastic about it, I think. Or did i just misunderstand the email? Oh my god! Really? Is that bad? Well if you want me to get into a couple clips...I didn't clip too much but I made my own list of what they talked about because the clips are not really that great Do you want- If you want we can do news or start off with you slamming them mainstream for this? That would be fun. I think I'd rather start slamming Okay

06:40 I'm with you boy. Let's start slamming here we go. Oh TM these are all the ones say OTM Mm-hmm as opposed to in the morning they have OTM on the morning On the media oh, I'm the media yeah who? Well, the first clip is that this is what they've learned a lot. Now hold on let's back it up On The Media is a radio show produced in New York City WNYC I think? It's part of the NPR public radio spectrum. I've been on it when podcasting first kicked off They had me on he interviewed me you know for a little bit Oh does anyone have a clip of this? No, I'm sure it's out there. I'm sure they have it in the archives

07:24 I doubt it. Anyway, so the guy that's kind of the Faye producer comes on and he talks about what we've learned. We've learned a lot and by the way this is really a prelude for him begging for money for the podcast they have a podcast aside from the huge amounts of money they probably receive from whatever that station is plus all the underwriters they have? Yes whatever you want to call it But here we go OTM Learned A Lot 1 Hey there, this is John Hanrahan OTM producer at the end of the year. We like to comb through our archives I stop This is the exact moment where I turned it off I remember hearing this guy come on as one of the producers and like can you imagine any no agenda producer talking like that and The enunciation he puts in his voice and we'd like to do a little retrospective at the end of the year enjoy this

08:21 Hey there, this is John Hanrahan OTM producer At the end of the year, we like to comb through our archives and pull out some of the new words that we've learned. And this year... We had a bumper crop. Telos – someplace we are bound to end up This is where this HistoraVox complex gets us into trouble. Visco Girl comes from an app, a photo editing app called Visco Technical debt is doing the quick-and-dirty and not really figuring out what things need to look like in the long term Clearly, we all learned a lot this year What the hell did they just talk about? What did they learn?! I'm still stuck at... They learned nothing apparently. They didn't learn anything about broadcasting! I'm still stuck at combing through the archives. Yeah, they splashed these words that you never heard of that were important somehow and then by the way they continue with more of these he went into pitch Oh okay

09:19 I didn't believe me, the rest of it was indecipherable. But then they went into a pitch for money and then they went to more words that never heard of as though this was all sort of some sort of thing so i gave up on that part moved into their big story. They decided they're going to look at what the real big stories were and the end the big trends for the year and media and all the rest We asked University of Chicago historian Kathleen Belew to lay out some of the ideological fundamentals of the white power movement, the notions that motivated that shooter and also the 2017 Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville Virginia. You will not replace us! Replace us? What does that even mean?!

10:06 People in the white power movement see a whole number of social issues as fundamentally being about a threat to white reproduction. Abortion is a threat because it might kill white children, immigration is a threat because of the threat hyper-fertile populations of color overrunning a white nation. LGBT rights and feminism are threat because they might encourage white women not to bear white children all of this is felt not as a soft demographic change but has a real apocalyptic threats

10:43 Now, this one by the way should have been the third one but it's fine. They don't really have to be in order but white power is one of their big themes and it turns out that by their logic the only reason that all these women or people anybody men women blacks Hispanics whoever Catholics doesn't matter The only reason they're against abortion It's not because of some fundamentalism or some religious reason. No, no! We need more white people Yes because of the white thing Even though it's probably more babies of color who are aborted but I you know who cares right? The logic is this is a better logic for their purposes

11:29 That was an eye roll nice one for Christmas guys great. Yeah Mm-hmm, so they actually believe this so that's one of their big issues They had other ones but let's play a couple I got two other clips and then we move on yes But here's another here's another big story This is the one on conspiracies even apocalyptic We all crave explanations for things we don't understand, so some of us fill in the blanks with conspiracy theories. We dug into that with Anna Merlin author of Republic Of Lies American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise To Power Hey! How come we weren't interviewed? What the hell is that there's a whole book

12:08 American conspiracy theorists? Did you get a call, did you get an email memo nothing it used to be that far-right conspiracy theories went from fringe sites some of them actual disinformation sites to eventually places like Fox News and that's sort of where they stopped. And now they have another stop which is they go from Fox News to the president or from fringe sites like InfoWars straight to the president again we're being snubbed hello Hello, Crackpot here. I'd like my props to the president or from fringe sites like Infowars straight to the president and this problem continues to get worse and worse What is the logical extension of? all of this

12:52 Oh, this is so good John. What do you think really happening in the world when it comes from InfoWars straight to the President? Out of control tinfoil hattery So one thesis is that especially state-backed disinformation sources like the ones we've seen in Russia, like the Internet Research Agency. That one of their goals is to make the information ecosystem so chaotic and so unstable and so unreliable that people start believing that the actual objective truth is not knowable and they should stop looking for it. Oh! Success!

13:34 Wow! Do you believe this? So conspiracies, by the way only right wing. There's never been a left-wing conspiracy. They're all right wing Wait stop clip of the day for that one just out of it just definitely clip of the day And she up talks through this whole thing and it all culminated in Fox News That's right and and and the other route is from InfoWars direct to the president Alex Jones hotline to Trump. Hey listen up here's what's got wait until you hear my update on Seth Rich maybe we can get in next year's retrospective so now we have some other ones yeah that's kind of interesting from Russia and Russia this is the big story now this was a little tougher to kinda grasp

14:23 But it's called, this is another major trend according to these guys on the media. They're media deconstructors. Inversion! We're going to return to a couple of the years biggest themes for us anyway and let's start with one of the first episodes of 2019 which we called Everything Is Fake I spoke with New York Magazine senior editor Max Reed about the endlessly innovative ways the Internet messes with our sense of how the world works. We know that about 60% of traffic on the internet is human, of the remainder that's bots and then there's this huge portion of bots that are pretending to be humans saying hello i am a user and i would like to see this advertisement and click on it and then I'm going to walk away from here

15:09 So what happens when a facsimile internet, where fake people visit fake websites and generate fake data begins to rival the size of the human Internet? When the two become so enmeshed they're indistinguishable. Max introduced me to the term The Inversion which is a take on what can happen So the inversion was a name that YouTube engineers gave to an event in 2013 when the site was under attack from fraudulent bot traffic. YouTube, like most platforms has pretty sophisticated fraud detection systems but those systems work by identifying real and fake traffic in part based on the percentages on the site

15:46 This attack was so large that it was brushing up against about 50% of the traffic. And the engineers were genuinely worried that their systems would start to regard real traffic as fake and fake traffic is real. How? Why? They work with machine learning, samples of behavior and they can say the majority of our users act like this in the minority act like this and so this minority is likely robots. So if the majority, at least on a given day is robot... The machines say well that's the legitimate traffic thats the traffic supposed to be here all these bots and all these silly humans who are trying to watch videos we need to kick them off the service. Oh! This is a good story I like this inversion because of course in the advertising internet the inversion is complete

16:30 It's been going on for years. For years people have been fundraising, ripping off advertisers with nothing but fake traffic! This is not new it used to be called the company called Monopoly wasn't that the name of the company? Like monopoly... No, I know what you're talking about but no it was in Florida. Yeah you call them up and say hey... I need some traffic! The only reason for this story is to say don't advertise on the internet advertise with us You can trust us you can't trust a YouTube thing There was that element But they did mention that this story dates back to 2013 so its not really 2019 anything

17:13 So it's kind of a fake. Anyway, they went on with other things and white power was really major major theme. Yes. And as you know I noticed all these left-wing operations of white supremacy, white supremacy, white supremacy, all these left wing operations without exception including these guys all overlooked one of the really great events in 2019 that was media related In fact, it was media-driven. Mm-hmm Jussie Smollett not a single one brought it up huh nope huh Go figure no you're stunned the kind of stun If you watch or racist if your man you're a pig I should play that at the end of the show again

18:05 Yeah, so they missed that one entirely. It wasn't a big story John no one really talked about it wasn't on the news at all was know we didn't have Newscasters crying I see you Mika Brzezinski crying Please yeah well while those guys were jacking off to themselves Wikileaks released some actual newsworthy information. It's been going on for a few days, but they finally got what I consider the motherlode of this document dump of the Office of Prevention of Chemical Weapons, the OPCW which is you know big UN

18:45 outfit and their report... Actually they're independent I believe. Oh, they're in The Hague though! Okay independent of what? I think they are more closely aligned with the EU than they are with the UN. Could be could be there's the documents and emails where the chief cabinet at OPCW instructs that an engineering report be removed from the secure registry which is their archive and here's an email please get this document out of the documents registry archive and please remove all traces if any of its delivery storage or whatever in DRA

19:26 And it just keeps on going on that these cylinders that were found at Douma, that apparently were the chlorine gas that killed all these children. There was a big fat hoax and their own reports stated very clearly symptoms observed were inconsistent with exposure to chlorine and no other obvious candidate chemical causing the symptom could be identified We dropped bombs over this. Yes, we launched a bunch of missiles over this because Trump was upset about the little children and of course the no agenda show. Oh that would be you and me! We identified this as a hoax from the get-go cause it was illogical. Didn't make sense...and remember you had those

20:14 You had like the rocket stuck in the ground, head first in the ground unexploded thing with tail fins on it. The whole thing just looked bogus! All of the reports we got from people in the field said that this was bogus and this is years ago! Two years? Three? How many years ago was this? It wasn't that long because it was early within the first year of Trump's administration. Okay so years ago more than two years ago. A couple years ago But why paying attention to that? That would be crazy. No! White supremacy So let me lay the smack on you about Seth Rich When everything, when the din dies down in media land around this time of year when everybody's off doing white supremacy and inversion retrospectives sometimes stuff comes bubbling up

21:09 Here's and I've found out about this really late last night, and I got up this morning early I was trying to listen to a couple of podcasts understand what's happening there were number of journalists who claimed Seth Rich who is the DNC staffer Who was shot and subsequently died in DC which? I'm pretty sure we still believe based on reporting from people like Seymour Hirsch that Seth Rich was probably the person who exfiltrated the data from the DNC server and it looks like he was killed over it. Which, oh I mean how could you even think this? How could you even be so stupid? There are actual people on Twitter who register new accounts every day just to come after you and me about our opinion about this

21:57 So it's important to somebody that we get shut up about that. And the family was gagged? Well, more interesting the brother of Seth Rich is suing number of independent journalists not even like non-main Matt Couch I think he appears on Fox from time to time a number of different journalists about now but it's it's a civil suit and really all its for if as I understand, it is for discovery so this law fruit law firm Wilkie Farr

22:33 has filed civil suits which are kind of specious. I haven't seen them but i'm just telling you what i've heard and i'm trying to distill it down into understandable information, have sued a number of independent journalists or alternative or whatever do you want to call them? To invoke discovery and get information about what they know. What do you have? What did you know about Seth Rich? And there's audio of Seymour Hersh saying that he heard from an FBI source that this is what happened This firm, Wilkie Farr represents CrowdStrike in a criminal suit which of course is ongoing regarding Ukraine etc. So and I guess we could have known this but it seems like this is the way that some of these big law firms work

23:19 when you have a client, an important client and you're defending them certainly in the criminal suit if you want to get any kind of extra information from players who were ancillary to it just file a nonsense civil suit against him and go into discovery and get as much as you can. And some of these journos these alternate journals are not falling for it Here's the main thing I learned that uh... just the emails which were exfiltrated from the system, which we have on authority from people like Benny and others who've looked at. And we did the research on the he used math to figure out that you couldn't get this information over the Internet at the time of considering the connection they had but what do you have to back up a minute because you're going on as if

24:13 We are expected to know what the source of this information is. You have not really... Is it a podcast you said? Yeah, oh it was one of these journalists. Whose podcast was it? It's Lori Says and I've never heard of her before she's uh.. I guess she may be... She credible? Pfff! I don't know. Podcaster. Yes, Podcaster please very credible. I think she may be friends with Laura Loomer who I don't deem incredible, you know she definitely has done journalistic work in the past but she was talking about her experience with and up and there's a link in the show notes to her podcast about an hour. And she's talking about if she's reading the discovery demands she's received that she's laughing about them and she explained some of this but the thing that I was going to get too is that according to her and others who are in this lawsuit the thumb drive

25:07 Did not contain just the emails it contained an image of the server Which is a pretty damn big thumb drive or very small server. I you know, it's possible though I've done a lot of work with virtual box and all that you can definitely image a server on a USB Drive yeah if he's 128 gigs or that might be enough? I don't know the state of the server but that It was not just the emails Which of course put Hillary Clinton and Donna Brazile, and what's her face? Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Put them all in a big pickle with the Democratic... With the preliminaries for the nominee where they had to screw Birdie and it came out in these emails

25:51 But apparently there was voting software stuff on it, algorithms for the voting machines. Documents about deployment of this software that's all I know it doesn't mean anything more or less than that if true it has very different and makes a lot of sense if it wasn't just emails. Well I'll give you at least some the one part of it that makes kind of sense even though if she even knows what an image is. No, she's very non-technical. For example if you're sitting there and you have access and you're putting stuff on the thumb drive I don't know about you but I know kind of the way I do things If I have a let's say 500 gigabyte thumb drive

26:41 and I download 100 gigabytes of emails, I got 400 gigabytes left. I'm gonna just put stuff on it." Well so how about this? You're the one that introduced me to Acronis and there's multiple types of software you install the software package, plug in a drive and say mirror the drive Right, in fact an Acronis will mirror a drive and I because I back up my terabyte SSD which is what I use on my main machine. I back it up...I'm not great at backing up. I backup once a month And I use the Acronis to mirror the drive so if that thing ever blows up which SSDs will do I can just plug the other drive right in and I'm back in business. I may be lost a few weeks of material but

27:35 It will do it's interesting to try to back up a lot of files onto a thumb drive it takes a long time. It's not going to be fast. But with Acronis, using a USB 3 it takes... To back up a terabyte takes about an hour and a half max And who knows the size of this server? But I'll tell you if i'm gonna steal something it would make more sense depending on was it a Windows Server or I don't know what it was Was it a Unix Server If you're just going to steal emails It's probably, I don't know if you've ever messed around with Exchange Server. Let's say it was Windows or even with SendMail or something like that You go in and get the mail spool No! None of that is going to happen. You just want mirror the drive and get out there That would make a lot more sense than I'm just going to copy these emails that would take forever

28:27 Just to remind us. Yes, it would take longer than mirroring the drive So just to remind us... Let's assume that these guys I mean are they running a terrible? I don't know is at that point in time It says I doubt if they had a big drive and I made probably you know some minimal I don't know but no Regardless even if it wasn't a thumb drive there could have been a USB SSD drives Yeah, just it's too long to play the whole thing but just to remind everybody those little drives as little plug-in drives from Costco. Mm-hmm plug it right into USB for Seth rich was spotted at Costco Just two weeks before his untimely death Seymour Hirsch is an award winning journalist and was fine I didn't clip this podcast where I got this information from But the woman who was with just Tori Torey

29:22 She's like, well there are a couple of other people who are also being sued by this law firm who represents CrowdStrike. And she goes to Matt Couch I guess she knows him and says here is some other guys I know Seymour Hersh I don't know who that is. What? Yeah yeah she runs by Seymour Hersch has never heard of him just give us a quick background on Seymour Hersch. Seymour Hersch is the guy who outed the US government for the My Lai massacre That's how he got started and became the number one of the top investigative reporters in the country, and has continued to work until this day.

30:01 when he has been sidelined by the media because no one wants to talk to him because he's got too much good stuff. They kept, they kicked him out of The New York Times cause his stuff was too revealing then they was writing for The London Review of Books but then they couldn't take it anymore cause somebody came knocking at their door saying hey you know stop this guy now. And he is award winning right? He has multiple awards Oh yeah! He won Pulitzer's So he is a and he's incredibly well respected by the Lib Joe's so there ya have it Well, I'm going to play a bit of this clip which was audio of him explaining that the FBI told him what happened with Seth Rich. I'm gonna play little bit of it so you can swallow whatever you had in your mouth.

30:44 Well, I know it comes off an FBI report. Don't ask me how you can figure out if they're on long enough the kid gets I don't think he was murdered I think I don't think it was murder because of what he knew the kids a nice boy 27 He was not an IT expert but he learned stuff in the data programmer, but he learned stuff And so he's living on one street, someone I- He was going for even in a very rough neighborhood. And in the exact area where it did there about 10, I'm sure you know this is about eight or nine or ten violent robberies most of them with somebody brandishing a gun And it hit his hand, I'm telling you. His hands were marked up the cops concluded he fought off the people tried to run and they shot him twice in the back with a .22 small caliber. The kids that did it ran they got scared didn't take its wallet okay so what'd the cops do then? Here's what nobody knows but maybe you know something about them

31:35 When you have a death like that, DC cops if you're dead you generally don't just go... You have to find out what's going on. You have to get the kids apartment and see what you can find If he is dead then you don't need a warrant but most cops get a warrant because they don't know if the guy has a roommate So they get a warrant I'm just telling ya there is such a thing They go in the house and they can't do much with his computer's password. The cops don't know much about it, so the DC cops have a cyber unit in DC and they're more sophisticated. They come to look at it. Maybe he had a series of exchanges with somebody who says I'm going to kill you motherfucker over girl or... And they can get in. The other guys are doing better but they can't make sense out of this. So they call

32:18 They call the FBI cyber unit, a DC unit. The Washington field office is a hot shit unit and they say more. They call in the Fed to get through and here's what they find this is according to the FBI report What they find is he makes kind of personal you have to know your three you have to know some basic facts with one of the basic facts that there's no DNC or Podesta email That this beyond May 22nd, the last email from either one of those groups. And so this, so what the report says is that he makes contact with WikiLeaks. That's in his computer and he makes contact now I have to be careful... Okay, it's worth listening to the whole thing but there was actual proof according to Seymour Hersh who has some believability and credibility that the FBI discovered that he had been contacting WikiLeaks they had a Dropbox the passwords have been exchanged

33:17 And it seems like this is a story that gets so much better when you think of it being an imaged server, which could have much more data on it that was problematic. And that the law firm who was representing CrowdStrike who apparently Well actually, who installed the anti-hacking software which two days after they installed it that's when apparently the Russians were in the server. So it's a quagmire! And, you know when the din dies down this is popping up to the surface. Do I think it will go anywhere ultimately? No probably not because... But now with these guys who are doing the media's coverage and the liberal media itself when they're concerned about white supremacy and that's the reason they're anti-abortion that kind of logic. They're completely scrambled! There's also another piece very disturbing news kind of along these lines do you remember Dr Robert Epstein or Ep Stein I should say

34:23 The name rings a bell. Yeah, here's actually your clip which will remind you remind all of us exactly who dr Robert Epstein is the number one financial supporter of the Hillary Clinton campaign in the 2016 election was the parent company of Google Alphabet Oh yeah Who was our first witness they were her number one financial donor and your testimony is through their deceptive search methods They moved 2.6 million votes in her direction, I would think... Yeah this is the professor who showed with deep research which was immediately discredited of course but the research stands by itself we went we did a very deep dive on the research at the time i think on the show This was one of the stories of the year that again along with Jussie Smollett nobody covered His wife was killed December 23rd Really? In a very freakish car accident

35:16 Somehow she lost control of her Ford Ranger, the truck quote slid out of control, slid across four lanes, jumped the median into the path of a freightliner semi hauling two dump trailers. Right? It's yeah, it sounds like which one of those things you see in these spy films when they try to assassinate somebody. It's always overkill well remember Who was the husband so long ago before Andrew Breitbart died after drinking a wine at a local Hollywood bar? Michael who was the who was the reporter who hit the tree Oh Hastings Michael Hastings Yeah with his ex-spy wife

36:04 Right. I mean this, we'll just call it coincidence that's all! Yeah the Hastings story was most disturbing of the group because of the nature of that particular wreck. So... But this sounds pretty bad yeah? Yeah and you know and this professor he He kind of came and went, you know. He made his statements, Cruz made a big deal out of it We saw clearly that if you have the ability to manipulate the top two choices on Google search

36:40 which Google of course has that ability, those are the only two that matter. Anything else is just going to be noise underneath the noise floor when it comes to clicking on stuff and that's how information is managed into people's brains by placement. Yeah as I recall Epstein proved you could sway like some huge amount... yeah a large amount of people to think differently. Yes Huh. Well that's... I know! Yay, it's happy end of year news everybody we could be doing a retrospective about white power or we could just tell you what's actually happening in your world today and the more i think about you bringing those OTM retrospectives to the show the more i like it just shows you how lame how lame at all is you can't trust any of these fuckers any of them on any station

37:37 And I'll do my own retrospective here. I have one retrospective clip, I saw that you had your retrospectives, you titled them RET so...I have one RET clip just to remind everybody exactly how it works when it comes to messaging two citizens Nancy Pelosi explaining the wrap-up smear Of course, it's great that she is explaining it because I think she's very good at it. It's a self-fulfilling promise you demonize and then we call the wrap up smear if anyone want to talk politics called the wrap up smear You smear somebody with falsehoods and all the rest And then you merchandise them Then you write it unless they see its reported in the press That this this this and this So they have that validation that the press reported the smear

38:31 And then it's called the wrap-up smear. Now I'm going to merchandise the press' report on the smear that we made." It's a tactic, and it's self evident. What she omits here in this part of the story is you create the smear and go to your friends in the media who then will report it for you so that you can say look what my friends over there reported in the media! That was the only part she missed Well, she was not explaining it well. But there's a trick that is in the books. I mean it's known trick and the CIA is a master of it and the way it was initially explained is that they would go to the point of placing these articles

39:21 or these smears in foreign publications. Yeah, oh that's the best! That's the best you put it in uh...in the Uganda Times then The New York Times can say according to The Uganda Times Yeah, and then they report it. And then you say look! And then you report what the New York Times reported. Yes. The New York Times just reported whatever the Uganda Times reported which was done by a CIA guy working at the Uganda Times and this is why it's so important to have so many people placed in all the publications that are agents and you, that's where you need all this drug money to have this black budget. The CIA's budget is who knows what it is but they have a lot of people working for them at the newspaper level. Yes not just that but I am willing to say

40:10 Anybody who appears on television, on a news show which is never about news. If the station has the word news in the name you know it's not news so if they show up and they have a book They're CIA. They're immediately suspect they probably didn't write the book very few people write their own books and Very few people get to go on expensive book tours I've been looking at this business for about a year or so You don't just need a book tour, and I will argue that a bit And I'm not working for anybody except no agenda listener But now that you bring that up we might as well play this

40:53 R.E.T clip, this is a William Arkin guy and this is the Spooks as Pundits clip So you talked about the people who populate the networks as pundit's And you've been a fierce critic of the national security state or at least understanding who it is Who is explaining things to us reading from Politico former CIA director John Brennan laid a super spook they said, to be reborn as a TV newsie. He just cashed in at NBC News as the senior national security and intelligence analyst served his first expert views on Meet the Press. The Brennan acquisition seeks to elevate NBC to spook parody with CNN which employs former director of national intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director Michael Hayden is similar capacity

41:39 Other lesser-known national security veterans thrive under TV's grow lights. Almost too numerous to list, they include Chuck Rosenberg former acting DEA administrator chief of staff for FBI Director James Comey and counselor to former FBI director Robert Mueller Frank Figliuzzi a former Chief of FBI counterintelligence Juan Zarate deputy National Security Advisor under Bush at NBC Fran Townsend Homeland Security Advisor under Bush and it goes on and on These are now the pundits. And so when you have a situation like President Trump announcing he will immediately withdraw U.S. troops from Syria and have the troops that are in Afghanistan, you've this massive attack on him that's actually led by the permanent national security state under the guise of pundits on television

42:32 Well, I think that you've – what you said stands for itself Amy. But I would add to it that the real crisis is when we have a panel discussion on television in the mainstream press and even in the mainstream newspapers, we don't populate that panel with people who are in opposition. We have a single war party in the United States and its' the only one that has given voice And so really the crisis is not so much that there are experienced government officials speaking out. The problem is that there aren't critics who are sitting next to them saying that you're full of it. They're also spokes... So, to me we need to balance that and I think

43:15 probably because of the phenomenon of Donald Trump. Let's just be honest about it, really what we see on TV now is former Obama administration officials masquerading as analysts who are nonpartisan when in fact they are partisan and indeed we see fewer retired generals and fewer retired admirals who sometimes are useful in terms of explaining the profession of arms and the conduct of military operations, in favor of these political figures who have a partisan view.

43:54 I just don't think the American public gets well served by the fact that there isn't a broad range of opinions on those panels. I want to see peaceniks, I want to see academics, I want to see historians...I want them to as much have a voice in terms of understanding what's going on as i do see a former Obama administration official." We have to break! Yeah please break away so for sure if You ever come out with that vinegar book, then we know you've been compromised. That's a given. Yeah because the CIA is going to have to write that vinegar book. Spotless spoof. Everybody wants new spotless spoofs. Okay well we're in this topic I do have a Hirsch clip that kind of backs that other clip up and this is when he was on Al Jazeera being interviewed Seymour Hirsch Oh this is another retret? Yes gotcha

44:49 I think it's going to hell. Now what you have is if you don't like Trump, you read the New York Times and Washington Post and watch certain cable shows CNN if you like Trump you watch Fox News and you read other papers... But they're not equal though are you? That's buying into a Trump narrative! Fox News is not the same as The New York Times. The New York Times still does good journalism in the way that Fox News doesn't credibility of the New York Times because it's so hostile to him, maybe legitimately but over-the-top I think they've gone way over the top in terms of like writing an anonymous letter. Yeah okay how long ago is this? Because there was one of his last... The anonymous letter! This was in January of this year yeah well that was definitely one of his last appearances ever

45:30 Well, it was on Al Jazeera. Oh, Al Jazeera of course! Just to do another thing from this exact same theme just to stick with the RET theme again from this year in January and what we just heard about The New York Times and the guy, oh The New York Times, The New York Times! Here's Jill Abrams slamming the New York Times to her former employer. The former executive editor of the New York Times, Jill Abramson criticizing that newspaper in her upcoming book calling the Times news coverage unmistakably anti-Trump Let's bring in Howard Kurtz Fox News media analyst and host of Media Buzz She is not going to be making a lot of friends among her former colleagues at the New York Times with what she has to say about this book Howie

46:14 Absolutely not, John. But this is an extraordinary rebuke by Jill Abramson the former executive editor as you say and she not only calls the news coverage unmistakably anti-Trump she says the younger staff there, the woke staff members that she puts it are so concerned about what they see is the dangers of Trump's presidency that they want to throw out the old journalistic standards She also says given the paper's mostly liberal audience There's a financial reward for the times and running so many stories about Trump almost all the negative that is Soaring traffic. Whoa, you got butt slam Yes That's why people come to the no agenda show Yeah, this is true yes I have two observations about something The president is doing which is not I don't think being well, I'm sure it's not being analyzed by news

47:09 So this is just, you know one VJ to an old columnist. We're pulling out of a lot of different areas and Trump is making some very interesting moves that are obviously not being reported on very broadly at all Japan is now, and I think at the invitation of the president moved into the Strait of Hormuz. This is you know where was it like 60% of the world's oil passes through this 20 mile wide little... This is a nightmare this Strait of Hormuz! Yeah and of course Iran has been

47:49 been making trouble, we had a drone shot down or shot her own drone down. Just a big quagmire but what I think is happening is Trump is pulling completely out of all of these regions you know Turkey and Russia are now messing around in Libya You know what, leave it. Just leave everything to those guys and mainly because we don't need to get our oil from the Strait of Hormuz." In a brief breaking report on Friday Japan's Asahi Shimbun said Tokyo had decided to send its own troops to the Strait of Hormuz instead of joining the US-led coalition tasked with safeguarding commercial shipping in the Middle East

48:29 It said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told his ministers in a National Security Council meeting to review the mission specifics. It also said that because Abe had visited Iran in June, possibly to serve as a mediator between Iran and the U.S., this could be a move to avoid clashing with Iran and at the same time stay on board with Washington's plan for defense shipping. The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial area in terms of international trade because it's the route taken to transport 20 percent of the world's petroleum. So I think Trump made some kind of deal with Abe and said, look you go park over there. I'll take care of those disputed islands that we all know are really yours but China's are trying to take them over and that will be the new theater for us so if you though that's the oil part or petroleum another thing always important when the world is just in the world in general is gold where is a lot of gold mining done?

49:26 It's a place we've all heard of, but my eyes certainly always kind of glaze over when I hear Burkina Faso. Like whatever... where is it? Well it's in Africa and this report from France 24 Tells us that maybe Trump is not so interested in everybody having any more gold or mining it or whatever This attack did not come out of nowhere. Even if it is the worst attack in a Burkina Faso's modern history We have seen a sharp increase and I mean a very sharp increase in attacks since Burkina Faso as a whole became sort of dragged into the broader conflict and the broader sort of jihadist insurgency that began in this whole region around 2015. It's perhaps no accident that France just last month, in November,

50:12 announced that they were deploying more troops as part of their Barkan operation throughout the Sahel region to Burkina Faso. I always love that you never hear about any other countries messing around in Africa, finally we hear about the French! More specifically right to the region where these attacks happened today it's the so-called three borders region It's where Burkina Faso border meets up with Mali and Niger. And as these attacks are escalating, another military presence in the region, the US is reportedly planning to withdraw troops. Yeah. And yeah what I could tell you comes with a big caveat this is according to a report that actually appeared in The New York Times couple of days back.

50:52 saying that the US military is now weighing proposals for a major reduction or even a complete pullout of American forces from West Africa, not just from Burkina Faso but from West Africa in general and this is part of a broader Pentagon sort of rethink of its entire global deployment strategy. drawing west africa would be the first in line but they could also be american troops being drawn down from regions in latin america uh... iraq afghanistan why as part of a new focus on is this not the story of the year I mean, we covered the West African withdrawal recently but not like this. Why isn't the media covering any of this? Some report in The New York Times somewhere mentioned it but this is huge pulling out of everywhere and it makes so much sense! Go ahead you have the next 20 years of bullcrap whoever wants to go in China have at it

51:52 Certainly if it's I mean Burkina Faso, its gold really is mining. It's a there two major exports are gold and children who mine for gold small batch A small batch. Artisan gold mining, that's really what they do and a lot of you know there's other mining around Burkina Faso and the country surrounding it in West Africa in general but again you know we always put more troops under some bullcrap ruse of oh Ebola! We got to go protect everybody or our interests so that's done with and I think that this is part of the overall Trump strategy

52:32 No, just no. Pulling out of it done. A lot of it may have to do with the outrageous squandering of funds. Yes. Trillions of dollars that could go into our own economy I just lament every time... like I was driving in Oakland a couple days ago Just some streets that go from here to there and it was like I mean it was like pothole city! Yeah. I'm surprised they didn't break an axle for 12 years, he's not broken an axle yet. But the complaints have been there! Hey it's borderline in some situations believe me these cars luckily I you know i drive a car that hasn't well made yeah

53:15 But I don't know. Yeah, well you know where's the coverage on this? No no no let's just talk about impeach and peach and peach and peach. Well you bring up a good point about the squandering of funds And this is where it gets a little difficult and i've just had a lot of time to think about this If you look at, just take Ukraine as the example. You know where One America News and Rudy Giuliani and they're going to uncover thousands of sealed indictments seven-and-a-half billion dollars transferred back to everybody everywhere it's a lot of its in the actual government documents themselves if you look at money that was intended for Ukraine... Oh yeah it does take a genius! It's 300 million dollars

53:58 was earmarked, government money our money tax money 300 million dollars for AIDS education in Ukraine that's going to NGOs and other... And that's how it works. You set up, you know it's like hey John we got a buddy over there you know they make it in Congress and you know they got some chips in with somebody else so why don't we start a little non-governmental organization? We will educate podcasters how to be free media something like that And then we'll get an earmark and we'll get 25 million dollars. We put together a class... Oh, this is what it is! This is what we should be doing I know! This is the exit strategy! We're available

54:41 Now, you need a good grantsmanship person. Somebody knows how to write grants and you can make a lot of money off this thing that they're trying to put an end too. And I think it's wise to put an end to it because it is squandering taxpayers' money. It's not going toward jets. It's not going toward anything... But wait! Wait, wait, wait. This will make you laugh. Greece? What do we know about Greece? Greece is broke. It's broke. However The finance minister, the defense minister Nikos Panagiopoulos told parliament earlier this month that they needed to upgrade their Viper class F-16 fighters and so they're going to spend 280 billion dollars

55:36 upgrading their f-16 fighter jets. Who even knew Greece had fighter jets? Do they have to do they really need them no because it's for us, it's us we give the Greek money through IMF and other mechanisms and it came right back to us so we'll have a nice... Not us per se. Okay Lockheed is that not us Well, I'm not a shareholder. You know what i mean it comes right back to the US to Lockheed but others who've been maintenance contracts this shipping the logistics its all economic hitman stuff and in it's not really behooving anybody but assholes who are already rich or their kids and one America News is I mean we played this months ago about Paul Pelosi her son

56:29 They've now wrapped it up into a little news item. We were quite a bit ahead of this one." As the Ukraine scandal backfires on the Biden family, the Pelosi's may be next to come under scrutiny. An old promotional video resurfaced on Thursday more than six years after it was uploaded by an energy company which does business in Ukraine The video starts out with Nancy Pelosi speaking about her efforts in office to push for clean energy. Her message is followed by a promotional statement from her son Paul, who is a board member of Visque Oil and an executive at its related company Energy Lab My name is Paul Pelosi, of course I'm on the board of Visco Oil. And Visco's here today to talk about accelerating the future and that's what Visco oil does it uses technology to maximize the use of natural resources like oil and other resources

57:16 Just two years after this video was uploaded, Pelosi led a congressional delegation to Ukraine to discuss issues like energy security. Anderson traveled to the country as recently as 2017 on behalf of the Corporate Governance Initiative where he now serves as executive director. So you run a corporate governance business and you're here in Ukraine speaking with representatives from government investment bankers discussing certain things related to soccer? Exactly. This comes as Hunter Biden faces similar allegations they used his father's position to make lucrative business deals in Ukraine and China So there you go, just give the kids some money

57:52 Well, you know that way you can spread it out a little bit by the way You know that one American news is suing Rachel Maddow. No I did not notice now. Not only looks like they have a case Tell me and so Rachel is going on saying well, you know whatever I say something It's not really a fact this just something I think But what happened? She had to hire some hot shot lawyers. What was the case about, what did she say? Did she disparage me? She said that One American News was a Russian front bought and paid for by the Russkies I hope someone says that about you and I Well... You'd have to sue them but uh Yeah well thats the whole point They have a case and now shes all freaked out about it Well she should be because shes got a big mouth yeah

58:39 It's about time someone took her down a notch. Well, it'd be more than a notch if One American News has its way Yeah well we'll see that's good I didn't know that yeah its pretty fun I got a kick out of it mmm all right I think we've kind of... With that at the one hour mark exactly! I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you The man who put the C in Christmas John C DeBorek Well, in the morning to you Mr. Anker and all the names of knights out there. In the morning to the trolls! And let me see how many trolls do we have here today because it is still... Oh wow nice 1071 trolls on deck and all there to serve

59:28 And to troll, which is what they do so well. Thank you trolls for being there! NoAgendaStream.com got big plans for that website this year and finally going to try and get something together make it a little more cohesive We'll be reaching out to you. That's noagendastream.com where you can listen to all of our live shows, there is a 24-hour day, there is something running, a podcast which you're going later subscribe too but it's really a cool place to hang out and exchange information or just troll other people and yourselves also in the morning to our artist for episode

1:00:06 1202, we titled that one Invidious Phobias which I think is the title of 2019. Really liked it. I still have to look up the word invidious every time Think it means scary or something like that Mike Riley Mike Riley brought us the perfect Boxing Day artwork Santa Claus st Nick boxing with a kangaroo and not only was it just perfectly done it pops because it was yellow background and Yeah, it's a pro like I say the guys are pro we found that at no agenda art generator comms where you can Look at all of the art ten times as much art as we have episodes. So there was a lot of good art mm-hmm and so we had to make a decision and That's we picked a We generally swing a little bit toward original Art if we can find it in other words they got draws something yes well and

1:01:08 And O'Reilly's pretty good at it. I mean, he... Well he's a pro! He does one piece usually. Darren O'Neal gets more hits because Darren O'Neill's a productive guy. He's like, bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! I got five pieces! He does five pieces of show easy. Yeah with one hand tied behind his back. Where we talk about too is say oh this piece...I really like this piece yeah and you won't lik it i won't like it something that somebody won't like well you know what we should actually Well, let me finish this way a story goes cuz it's kind of the way it works and say ah You know you look at since Darren O'Neill and they say well I hate to gaze. You know he did nice then you find another piece Okay would pick that It's also Darren O'Neill and we say well And I don't feel so bad about rejecting his other people Look at I'm just looking at the at the page

1:02:03 It would be an idea, although I don't think i have the bandwidth. But it would be an idea you can literally take what the artists are doing while we're doing the show and you could put that into a timeline that would switch when we switched topics. I mean it goes from Kevin Spacey to Trump to Jane Fonda to The Boob Growing Burger... You know? It's almost in a timeline! It is very interesting Yeah, that's the project for yet another day. And a lot of times the guys do like in the last show there is somebody who tried to outguess this show There is always one artist and by the way I don't recommend doing this because it's pretty hard to do Is say I know what they're going to talk about Oh yeah Well that's The Burger we didn't talk about The Burger last time No people already did art for the last show but The Burger We never talked about The Burger Actually until you brought up on today's show I was never gonna talk about The Burger

1:03:00 But I'm a burger kind of guy you are your burger kind of guy. Mm-hmm I'm not a nothing burger The point is is that? Trying to out guess what we're gonna talk about is not too because we don't Just because it was in the news or with some sort of gimmicky story doesn't mean we're gonna talk about it and generally We don't know and generally the things that we think oh, we really got to talk about that. We forget to talk about That's that element too, which is a real... That's the weakness of the show. Yes it is! That's when you only have thousands of producers outside the studio there's not actually someone to kick you and say hey remember talk about this well let's thank a few people for being executive producers and associate executive producers for show 1203 yes now is this our year-end special? This

1:03:57 No, everybody's... Well the year-end special is actually going to be on the 2nd of January. That is the special but anyone who contributed $333.33 or got an executive producer for this show will be can use they can claim executive producership for No agenda New Year's special. Ah, okay! And then that and then we're not gonna do another one of these Special Executive Producer things until July 4th which is the fourth of July for you I know you don't remember that date but... You know just because you wrote a shitty sentence in the newsletter draft doesn't mean you have to try and tell me that i don't know what July 4th... Covrad! What kind-and then you called me a communist you McCarthyite?

1:04:49 It was, I'm reminded of Starlight 13 or that movie where the guy comes in and somebody tries to talk about the 27 Yankees and the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. And so they figure he's a Nazi. Let me just mansplain this okay? John always sends me newsletter to look over and there's usually some typos. And so I what I do is... Not always! There are usually some typos, one or two it's not a big deal and then I'll copy the line that paste the line with the correction and this first line was like you know this it was just didn't understand it and so I copied and pasted the line about you won't have another

1:05:30 chance like this until July 4th, I'm like wow we're not gonna have any special shows until July 4th. I know what July 4th is so i just replied July fourth question mark he you come back with yeah comrade like wake up some kind of commie! Jeez So I'm thinking, and going back to the Stallag 17 or 13 wherever that movie was. And they beat the crap out of this guy who doesn't know anything about the 27 Yankees! And I'm thinking poor Adam who doesn't like sports... He shows up in a Nazi concentration camp or a prisoner of war camp. Who won the 2019 World Series? I'd be like, put me up against the wall! I'm dead. There's gotta be more people that don't follow sports. More so today than back in the day. Kolditz was it not? Stalag 13? Kalditz I think it was called...I don't remember

1:06:30 I don't remember. Escape from Cold Loops? Escape from Star Like 17, that's what it was. Okay. Anyway... Let's let anyway less anyways people who helped us here wait wait stop who won the FA Cup wasn't at Liverpool you know this is another thing that bothers me let me let me stop again okay so i'm watching ESPN which has just deteriorated I mean they're okay during their football playoffs and even though they don't have good sound engineers it seems. I'm looking at the scores underneath and they're showing all these British club sports soccer scores, and this is one after another I think why are they doing this? Is it because Americans are all into British

1:07:21 They're all Manchester United fans or what? Chelsea? No, they know that nothing goes better with avocado toast than some soccer scores. Then I think to myself well if that's true why are they so racist about it Racist? Where's the soccer scores from Brazil?! Okay... Where is the soccer scores from Mexico!? Where is the soccer scores from Africa! Well, but this- you know if you were just watching- Where are the cricket scores from India?? It was kind of a big championship. Anyway This week after week day after day we're talking about the regular season They're just showing British scores of soccer games randomly It's a plot But they don't show Brazilian scores

1:08:11 show Mexican, they don't show any other scores from any other countries. Just Britain just they don't even show the stuff while they do show they'll show Madrid some of them scores in the continent. Well here's the thought I'm going to answer this for you maybe they don't even maybe they figured out that by only showing the British scores They will keep old white coots like you engaged wondering why there is no Brazilian scores Because you're clearly yelling at the TV. I am, I yell at the TV! Let's thank some people By the way everyone should yell at the TV it is fun It is good Well let's start with Richard Bagwell in Louisville Kentucky

1:08:57 They don't even give horse racing scores. He gave one, two three four five six which he does every year. Yes that's right beautiful. We'll call him Sir Richard even though I don't think he's claimed it no but Sir Richard countries my annual contribution to the best podcast in universe requesting Jobs Karma the original Pelosi solo also requesting Adam accept my LinkedIn request okay well this is a very good point i have not um manage my password I had do not know the password.

Many thanks for all the plugs on the show for The Furry Con Meetup in Chicago! We had a blast! We are furry enthusiasts. And why not? Why not. No, there's no reason... So I have a furry kind of a... Well let me explain what happened. Chest

1:24:57 And when you're going to the toll plaza, get a little closer to the left. A little closer to that thing and slap a sticker on it. You can see bands everybody's putting stickers up but there is no agenda stickers like always irks me when I drive to drop at the toll booth and there is place where you easily placed a sticker And there's no No Agenda sticker. I like that, but also the baggage carousel. That is one of my favorites. It is a good place to put a sticker. They never stay long because they wear down quick because of the suitcases... But there's nothing like seeing you know a sticker come around and go round again You can kind of mark it! Like oh yeah okay that's where it started. My suitcase not here. I'm getting dizzy. No agenda show. No agenda show. It works! It does work

1:25:48 All right, back to where we were. We hope the new changes help us survive and grow in 2020 well we hope so too for those who...and we didn't talk about it today about noagendaartgenerator.com But art from that website, some that's not even been used on the show at all or in newsletters goes onto t-shirts mugs hoodies stickers etc. And then a portion of the third of the proceeds goes to noagendershop.com A third goes to the artist and a third goes to the show it's a beautiful value for value collab and I appreciate what Tony and the team are doing there

1:29:54 and stop the hammering along with a long overdue de-douching. So now I gotta find all the other stuff because it was... Well, there's just too much you can find pretty quickly but you can do the de-douching now! Okay here we go! You've been dedouched But resist? We must! We must and we will much about that be committed. And I couldn't find it! I couldn't find it, damnit, couldn't get in time! What? Stop the hammering? Yes! Do you know how many... Can I do one on word search and do you know how many jokes we have about stop the hammering? Just play a random one. Well what is this actually one of my favorites okay well now I'm gonna do this sequence over again. But resist we much We must and we will much about that

1:30:53 Be committed. Stop the hammering! There we go, now it feels better feel good now You're you know your people should know that Adam is superstitious I am? Us What?! It's more like obsessive compulsive but yeah you can call it superstitious Scottsdale meetup Oh Nice okay got the other two hundred twenty dollars beautiful how many people that i didn't get a note so I don't know what you want to do with the check and it says here we had our first meet up in scottsdale this came from jenna.

1:31:38 We had our first meetup in Scottsdale with about 10 attendees. The good news is we collected $220, the bad news is 200 of the 220 came from the Baron of Verde Valley." That's funny! So were going to put Baron at Verde... No no no, it's a Scottsdale Meet-Up. He put it there. Keep it there. Are the remaining 20 from your host me? Mr. Genitals As this was an inaugural meetup of strangers, I didn't push too hard for donations. However we plan to make this a regular thing so in the future I'm gonna get more strongly encouraged donations if for no other reason than we don't look like a bunch of douchebags! There's no data you may be interested in as you guys have predicted everybody got along well and there was no awkwardness whatsoever all attendees were male

1:32:36 Most were 35 to 55 with one 22 year old and one over 65. Two to three learned about the No Agenda show from Today in Tech, a couple by word of mouth and a couple by just listening to random podcasts. And one from the Donald subreddit. I've been struggling to come up with a short explanation of exactly what The Meetup is You know because what is it exactly that makes this? It's such a mouthful to say well you meet people Who have really one thing in common is that they're not going to be triggered by whatever you are What you say or and you're not gonna feel triggered by them

1:33:23 Yeah, it's a triggerless environment. Let me finish his note with this. Finally one of the most interesting observation was as follows Although many different topics were discussed there was zero mention of impeachment Hmm yeah As far as I'm aware he says Right I thought this was odd considering that this is the big controversial news of the week No i think that's exactly right and no agenda meetup would completely ignore that That's not important It's a shampeachment! Anyway, I'm struggling with coming up with the right descriptive sentence. I want just a sentence. Somebody can write it for us we have people out there who are creative. Okay And last on our list of associate executive producers is Staphon Madison in Brooklyn $211 and 55 cents We need more Brooklyn listeners

Nine more seasons. Seasons? Now we're doing seasons! I'm against this, this idea of seasons. But you brought it up once before and i've never subscribed to it. No no someone else brought it up previously. I would never recommend this

We're doing in blocks of 1,000 shows Exactly worth we're one K blockers we don't mess around here Yes be more than happy to give you some sweet Nancy jobs karma for that idea You proposed and let's hope that works out Tafon Thank you very much for your courage and your support jobs Jobs jobs and jobs Let's vote for jobs! You've got Karma And that concludes our list of executive producers and associate executive producers for show. 1203. I'm gonna have trouble with this number, by the way. I keep thinking 19... That's okay and thank you to these execs and associate execs You know the deal This is the credit that you deserve And you need to take it, you need to display it proudly loudly If only just for the badge that it is The badge of courage, of honor But it can also be a lure To bring people closer to you Executive producer? I wonder Maybe he's looking for an unknown

1:35:59 Anything could happen with an executive or associate executive producership as long as you use it accordingly. And thank you, we'll be thanking more people $50 and above in our second segment and if you have not supported us please consider that for our next show the first one of the new year by going to Dvorak.org slash N A You can look pretty smart around New Year's! You know what's really going on these days Our formula is this We go out...we hit people in the mouth Order! Stop the hammering. Shut up, slave. I have an update of an update. We need an update? Yes, an update. Let me see...I don't have an update sound. Update on 23andMe in the military. I have the update sound. UPDATE! Nice! I'm time coding that

1:37:04 There was a story that we talked about last show of the show before, about the military not wanting any of their enlisted people anybody at the Pentagon not wanting anyone in the military to do one of these DNA tests. Specifically 23andMe and Ancestry.com were mentioned and it was a little confusing they're like oh its national security security of the troops So, you know we weren't really sure what it was about but of course we have a very vast array of producers many who are boots on the ground literal boots on the ground and two emails I'd like to share some information with. The first one just want let you know that military actually takes DNA sample during the initial medical processing

1:37:51 I was told the DNA profile is kept on file in order to identify remains if a soldier is killed in action and could not be identified by other means. That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? But instead of the military saying we already have their DNA you don't need another test The second email is perhaps a little more pertinent Adam the reason they're not saying that the true reason is because Having your own DNA under your control could help you or others discover unknown kids belonging to military members.

1:38:28 This could or could not be a problem in the military and even punishable under military law. Example of the kid as a result of adultery that's illegal, Uniform Code of Military Justice UCMJ Best case scenario maybe single troop had one night stand and didn't know now the kid and mom take part of your check And the kid is entitled to military benefits I don't think the military wants to deal with that because it can make you less deployable I think there's probably something to that. I don't think that's probably it! I would never do a DNA test just my own personal privacy reasons, but there are so many people who find out that their parents aren't their birth parents or their brother's been adopted. None of this seems like a great idea to know. People who know and have found this out...I think typically at the end they say well you know at least it enhanced my knowledge of Who i am but it comes with a lot of heartbreak and stuff

1:39:33 I knew a guy who was a stockbroker and one day, I saw him. He was like... he's kind of pale and he turned... somebody knocked on his door and it was his son that he never met or knew he had 21 years old! Wow yeah whoops what? Whoops whoops there was a little bit of a fracas that happened uh i think two days ago Putin did His big press conference for the media where he answers all these questions. Yeah, once a year he does this big press conference and spends all day there I think it was a week ago So now we have people from all over the world to listen to the show comic strip blogger...I'm not sure if he is Polish or if he grew up there or if he's there now? I've no idea but... I'm pretty sure he's Polish!

1:40:34 So he sent me a note saying, look at this! He was accusing the Poles of assisting the Nazis and that there were the damn anti-Semites in Poland. And I said you have to talk about it. You must talk about this on no agenda. Puta naga for Poland So I take his note and of course the clip that he sent with it associated, but you know there's subtitles and there's interpretations. So i send it to Sir Gene, the Earl over here Because he speaks the Russian and so I said well what's going on? So of course, I get the Russian version which is comrades. This is this as much to do about nothing You know it's like everyone's arguing about who was the biggest shitheel in in World War two When I've discovered that had nothing to do with any of that It is purely a political statement by Putin for

1:41:33 For a pipeline! According to the Russian state television Vladimir Putin ended his end of year speech to high-ranking military officials with accusations towards the Polish diplomats from 1930s. He referred to 1938 appeasement pact where the Allies agreed to depolitician of Czechoslovakia What's more he reserved particular criticism for Poland namely stating that Poland's ambassador to Germany at that time was Nazi sympathizer Essentially they colluded with Hitler this is clear from documents and archives Particular critique was reserved for the Polish ambassador at the time, Józef Lipski. Apparently Putin said this about him... That bastard! That anti-Semitic pig! He expressed full solidarity with Hitler and his anti-Semitic views. According to Polish analysts there are several reasons why Putin is singling out Poland First is the practical seizing of construction of Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline due to US sanctions

1:42:29 That's it. That's what this is all about because Poland is playing with us! See that's why Trump gave Poland the visa waiver, so like they're helping thwart the Nord Stream 2 pipeline which is the big deal for Gazprom and Russia. That's what all this is about and meanwhile exactly wanted one it is people yelling at each other over something that happened before they were both born... And Gene is a Duke I'm sorry he's not in Earl who was also the sheriff Yeah, that's confusing. He just wants to be a Duke and he is a Duke so anyway So that's what this is about it's all about the pipelines and by the way You know this is the Russian agent Donald Trump who was making all this trouble Russia yeah, and also I also Putin's running the USA according to Lib Joe's in Russia Just finalized a two-point

1:43:28 nine billion dollar transfer of money to Ukraine for gas transport. You know, they're at war and this is you know our national security now they had a nice little chat in Vienna and they figured it all out they also exchanged prisoners Donbass prisoner swap so now maybe it's not quite as horrible as the M5M would have you think it is there clearly doing business Well, the M5M's got its own agenda. And I actually agree with the guy earlier, the William Arkin character who is an old military intelligence guy that you will never hear on the air again after that little thing he did on Amy Goodman show

1:44:15 uh where it was like you know it's a what there's one party in charge is the war party yes well this is true I think so the war party just giving us the news and they're not going to tell us anything that has anything to do with peace now we talk a big game about peace but they're the war party. You know, I was thinking about this um if you look at the people who are, well there's a couple things. First of all the ruling class and I had a long discussion with The Keeper about this about what the ruling class is because i believe it's people who run... The banks are the ruling class, the educators, universities are the ruling class and yes politicians but they the politicians aren't actually calling the shots they're influenced by everybody else. Is that

1:45:04 How would you define the ruling class? I would say it's a top-level influencers. Right, but not necessarily lawmakers but just influencers. I think there are few lawmakers in the class. Must be! So Nancy Pelosi is of course part of the ruling class Yes she would be there so if you look at the ruling class and my goodness man look who is running the country... I think anybody in Congress that worth over 100 million dollars That's all them Not really, there's a lot of them. There are all pretty old they're 70 plus

1:45:40 Which is you know, it doesn't bother me at all. But when you think about how they view Russia They grew up with the Soviet Union USSR and I think there's plenty of trauma that went around and I'm not diminishing You know the Cuban Missile Crisis And I don't know how old you were but in that I can see that would have been very scary to a lot Of people of a certain age today. You were maybe too young but doesn't matter These people who are running the show, who were between 75 and 80 witness that and I think have trauma. The same goes for their whole globalist New World Order view

1:46:22 Which is what we keep getting pushed towards. And I was watching an interview with a Dutch politician and he made this point, he said these people who are the ruling political class grew up with John Lennon's Imagine. And had to think about it... you look at the lyrics Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today imagine there's no countries It's not hard to do nothing to kill or die for and no religion too sound like something? Yeah sounds like a formula to get shot

1:47:06 This is the dream! No borders, no religions. We're all one we all live in peace and harmony a brotherhood of man I'm a dreamer but i'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one Yeah, it's a very New World Order-y thing. New World Order no borders one world government that's what he left out! Imagine there is one world government dominated by the ruling elites I mean he should add some more lyrics. I'll rewrite it for him They killed him because he didn't put that in and that's probably what happened there

1:47:46 Yeah, I know it just hit me. It's like yeah! I can see where people who grew up and...I remember the song but you know it was like the 10th anniversary of it Well by the time he wrote that song He was in the ruling elite even though he didn't know it. It was the ruling class. Yeah, I mean You know McCartney is a billionaire? I mean let's get a clue here. Hmm. Yeah Yep. Yeah exactly Well, of course he's not the real Paul. These guys aren't doing us any favors! He is a different guy now but it doesn't matter and your point is well made. Well yeah...it still posing as the same guy. And he probably thinks that he's that guy now So one way or another these people are going away It will get better

1:48:33 I mean, how much longer can they last? They're done. It's not just them passing it on to their kids. Oh yes and Nancy Pelosi is toast man she is her eyebrows are at her hairline now now just touch your face your eyebrows start above your eye socket hey one more facelift and she's gonna have a goatee hadn't heard that one but I like it Goatee Okay. Alright, enough of my silliness. Do you want to hear another retrospective? Yeah let's do a retrospective! First of all I want to bring in a retrospective of an ISO showing that this is a 12 second ISO that was used at end-of-show we used to have use longer ones when they were funny No!

1:49:23 I think the no's have it. Are you sure we use that end of show? I'm pretty sure. It's doubtful, but it's a good one! It is very good one. I mean I have one that I'd like to offer as a potential and this is Matt Gaetz The congressman Matt Gaetz. No agenda for America! Doesn't get much better than that Yes, somebody read it... yeah we had that one and we just dropped the ball on it This is the one though That's the one It's good

1:50:10 We have this is another one of these little clips that I picked up. This was my favorite, this was from the spy show Berlin Station. We ran this in January as a retrospective. I consider it one of the best...I consider it my favorite clip of the year and to set it up, this is when one of the spies had quit the agency but now he's still living in town and everyone is afraid of what he is going to do, and here we go. What did you know about Gilbert Dorn? Gilbert Dorn... same as everyone legend put out to pasture saw him during the cold war cast a pretty long shadow at Berlin station He never left retired in Berlin Did not know that

1:50:59 Let me guess, he's writing a book. Worse! Podcasts That is the new spook outlet of the future Podcasts that's where all the spooks are moving towards podcasts I think this is good idea Yeah Hey you want some influence? That's the way to go People are tuning out of your M5M Before you continue with retrospectives, let's do something a little more au courant. There is an issue in Australia that the temperature of the sea has gone down. What? Yes I know it's problematic and so at the same time climate change is burning everybody alive in Australia

1:51:45 So, you know somehow this has to be fixed. You might want to get a pencil and piece of paper to write down the reason as brought to you by the BBC potential for these fires. In this particular case, this year we've had a phenomenon known as a positive Indian Ocean Dipole and what that basically means is sea temperatures in the eastern side of the Indian Ocean so close to Australia have been lower than average now cooler seawater generates less rain the warmer the air is essentially over the oceans the more rain we get because the ocean's a bit cooler there hasn't been as much rain that's one of the reasons why it's being so dry across Australia

1:52:25 because the ground is so dry it heats up more quickly. So you know we can trace it back, we can find reasons for this but scientists will obviously be looking at it in the broader context of world events to see that link with climate change. All right Ben Rich thanks for bringing us up-to-date on those weather conditions there Yes lovely! We have to link it to climate change... The positive Indian Ocean Dipole Of course! If it's not the Arctic blast, what was the other term we had? There's a bunch of them. The polar vortex... It was like to bring up the fact that there is going to be no snow in England ever again Yes, children in England would only see snow and snow globes

1:53:08 Yes, so it's the opposite of the polar vortex is the positive Indian Ocean Dipole which of course we've heard about for years whenever this took place. No never ever! And how it just rolls off I in fact I need to play it again just for myself...I just need to hear Just need to hear him say that again. We've had a phenomenon known as a positive Indian Ocean Dipole and what that basically means is... Damn! I mean, can you believe this? And they say that with a straight face. This is when they said there's no- the oceans aren't rising because Australia again is providing a sponge effect. Oh yes. Sucking up the water. Yeah

1:53:48 And the cyclone bomb. We need to keep track of these. The cyclone bomb, that was a good one! Well let's go back again to January and remind ourselves this is a 19-second RET Amy Climate Gloom A new study published this week finds the melting of Greenland's ice sheet may have reached a tipping point and could severely increase sea level rise over the next 20 years. The report confirms other recent studies which warn the Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the planet due to climate change Yes, and let's just do a little update

1:54:27 We'll go to Google, which I don't use typically and we'll do warming at twice the rate. This is right this was one of the originals we had a clip that you had of all these people saying this is twice the rate twice through how does one place going to be with global global being the operative word How does one place start warming at twice the rate? So now let me just hear what Amy said again. A new study published this week finds the melting of Greenland's ice sheet may have reached a tipping point and could severely increase sea level rise over the next 20 years The report confirms other recent studies which warn the Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the planet

1:55:11 In Climate Watch, Canada is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the world. What? There you go! So we have Canada... The Arctic... Northern Hemisphere... UK This is fantastic Everyone's claiming it Everybody, Russia warming twice the global rate. Australia warming twice the global rate Britain China warming twice as fast Ireland warmer just look it up on Google it's all there horseshit people that's what I say manure du cheval

1:55:55 Then, bringing up one more of these and then we'll get back to normal. Yeah You might as well go to this R-E-T fat people I don't think i remember this one Kit Do on why researchers say obesity is bad for the environment Obesity and global warming, both heavy topics now linked by a new study from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It says people who weigh more tend to drive more and eat more And all that food? It's shipped on average 1500 miles from where it's grown to your plate Fat people researchers contend are killing the planet more so than those who are thin Well I don't remember this clip You don't?! No!

1:56:41 But does this mean that fat people are causing global warming? Yeah! That's a whole new dimension to fat shaming right there. Oh yeah, damn I know i'm surprised it didn't catch on. There was an interesting... The reason it didn't catch on is because most of the people seriously in the global climate crisis tend to be overweight Oh please, just making that up. There was a... what was this article? I don't know if it was in the Los Angeles Times It was a professor from California to address climate change we must seriously question private property ownership and really like this angle that this guy is taking What's his name? He's from UCLA

1:57:35 aspirations of home ownership and the belief in the importance of private property could be reinforcing the conditions that result in wildfires. See, the idea here I think and maybe it's been part of the agenda 21 push and subsequently the 2030 goals and the 2050 climate neutrality is to not let you determine where you want to live or what your house looks like. No, you should just all be renting and the homes will be built specifically like cinder blocks I guess just a cinder block where you sit in it and enjoy. The best new housing developments that you describe like that are also easily convertible into minimum security prisons

1:58:22 They are! Sad but true. And on we go with some people that helped us in show 1203, starting with Lauren Smudski in Pleasant Grove California and she sent a check-in and a note She came in with a hundred dollars.

For me it took a few years and several vacations but I finally hit in the mouth about a year ago. I'd also like to request a de-douching as the contributions will be in her name going forward and since she makes more than me she's been indirectly contributing to this show for some time now." Yes! That's right Get it from your woman. You've been de-douche'd! Okay, um... I wonder if the fact that she was always making more money than him put her in a state of mind not to pay attention to the show or dislike the show because what does he know? He doesn't make as much money as me Wow. I'm not gonna go there really

2:05:31 I'm just suggesting the possibility. Because it took him over a year to get her to like the show? Well, now they're set for life. Well, I guess so. Judy Schwartz is also set for life.

I have not been able to retrieve it from noagendameetups.com, but The Keeper and I are going to be in Florida Delray Beach on the 21st of February It's a Friday and we need a meetup organized because it's gonna be fun And I think we're even getting Maybe Horowitz will even drive up for it

Say yes Andrew you're famous don't worry People will love you yeah no problem No problems there So please get on the stick people and confirm with me so we can have some closer coordination for the Delray Beach Florida meetup on February 21st The Delray beat up We had a number of Meetups take place of course over the course of the past week and we got a report, an audio report which if it's short enough... And I edited this one down to make it tighter. I'm happy to play it! This is from the fourth Trajectum meetup in Utrecht, The Netherlands also known as Gitmo Nation Lowlands. Hello this is Sir Henrik at the 4th Trajectum meeting in Trajectum, also known as

2:13:22 Utrecht your name is Bob was together sir Rob Sir Robert of Eastern there we go and this is Dave with a little head Cory with my echo 10 boom 10 boom Timbo thank you dame Cory of ten bone yes hello Adam I've been case it Benny for the first in utah fantastic English of course sorry Adam I'm Kees, I am an escaped slave.

Sir Herco, knight of the fabled fiefdom of Utrecht I mean, just hearing that you want to be there. That sounds like a great group! I love Dame of the Doomsday Denier, I Drink White Wine... can't get much better than that. Yeah it sounds like a party. It's just like a party thanks guys thanks for sending that in and this is what happens at these meetups people come together who really in regular passing in life would probably never bump into each other but we all have this one thing in common amygdalas of normal size

2:14:43 and we can talk about anything without anyone getting triggered about it because we know it's just not worth it. We're not participating in the game, and there will be a number of them for the month of January Amsterdam kicks off on the 3rd at restaurant Dauphine And Entrepreneurio is your organizer for that one. That'll be at 5 o'clock Amsterdam time, the same time The Other End of the World Seattle, the Seattle Monthly at a new location, The Hop Vine Pub Check the back of the bar Patrick will start organizing that at 730

2:15:18 Then on the 7th of January, the second biannual Knoxville Meetup 4 o'clock at Barley's Knoxville. Sir Seatsit are hosting for you Also then on the 9th that'll be a show day Thursday The No... this is a good one and no agenda Toon Man Tour The Beirut Stop This is Jesse Coy Nelson He has done end-of-show mixes For months almost without fail every single show I've seen him progress. You hear a Jesse Coy Nelson makes you'll know it right away because he often sings and it's atrocious, but somehow it makes it work He's a traveling teacher

2:15:59 And he's set up a number of meetups, as I said Thursday the 9th in Beirut Lebanon. Jesse will be hosting this at The Rabbit Hole on Makdisi Street in Lebanon, 6 o'clock Beirut time and looking forward to getting a sound clip from the people who meet up there!

That's the Saturday and two weeks The Long Island meetup Excelsior Slaves come one come all first attempt at a Long Island and New York City Gitmo Nation Meet up meet at St James Restaurant & Bar Andrew Grasso will be hosting that And that is your current overview for No Agenda Nation meetups Go to noagendameetups.com where you too can enjoy in this activity which is

2:16:55 great compliment to the show because meeting people in person is incredibly important. Having that human interaction, the troll room is good no agenda social is fantastic but when you get together and you drink and you talk and you see each other's faces and yeah it and energies...it's a very good thing! It's fact scientific facts look it up in The Mueller Report Well, that was a good report. Yeah well this we got good people man We got producers all over get my nation well let's do at least one impeachment story Which is that the impeachment has stalled?

2:17:41 Stalled. And so nobody knows what to do about this and so they don't even know how to report it Here for example is NBC's report President Trump and the first voice of dissent or at least dissatisfaction among Republican senators over the way, The Senate leadership is planning The president's trial we get more from Hans Nichols Tonight, President Trump dealing with a potential Republican defection on impeachment. Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski signaling she's unhappy with Senator Mitch McConnell's pledge to work in total coordination with the White House. When I heard that, I was disturbed. Murkowski who has defied party leaders in the past responding to these comments from the Senate Majority Leader last week

2:18:24 I'm gonna take my cues from the president's lawyers. Murkowski demanding some distance from the White House We have to take that step back from being hand in glove with the defense. I need to be able to sit back and look at both sides of this. President Trump has relished in Republican unity on impeachment. We had 196 or so Republicans voting 100%. We didn't lose one Republican vote in the House, while putting his faith in McConnell's Senate moves Ultimately that decision is going to be made by Mitch McConnell and he will make it. He has the right to do whatever he wants, he's the head of the Senate But Trump today admitting that impeachment is impeding his role as commander in chief writing on Twitter It makes it much more difficult to deal with foreign leaders and others when I am having to constantly defend myself against the Do-Nothing Democrats

2:19:20 And Hans is with us now. Hans, how are other Republicans reacting to Senator Murkowski's comments tonight? Well we heard from Louisiana senator John Kennedy he's a Republican and an impeachment skeptic saying she's entitled her opinion and Mitch McConnell is entitled his but still no news on a potential trial or a start date Wow! A minute-and-a-half that I'll never get back Yep That's so empty It's... you know this is the biggest TV show on earth But the thing is, Donald Trump is the show. He's the show! So everything you hear has to relate to Trump every news story everything he can never be impeached The media if they could would give him a third term. He IS THE SHOW!

2:20:12 And now that the impeachment stalled, what are we going to do? These guys are like beside themselves because they can't cover it apparently as we point out on this show every show. Well there's all kinds of news stories around that could be covered yeah but that's not THE SHOW! No one cares about dead people in the Philippines We won't even pull global warming into it. We can't connect it to Trump Did Trump ever have a Filipino hooker? Sorry, no story. No they're working on it now There is there are some other parts to the big show that I wanted to touch on before we say goodbye to 2019 as the show progresses if you don't have money then you're not in this show and Elizabeth Warren I think is running out of money And when you run out of money You're not buying ads me don't buy ads you're not in the show you get voted off the island so Now it's war she was great

2:21:07 She was just great, just a few days ago she was great. But now? No! She doesn't like polling and I don't know her Medicare for all answer wasn't right... I mean it's annoying i think when any kind of political candidate says I don't do polls. Yeah I get it you don't want to hire pollsters but you can't ignore the polls. The polls 50% percent of voters are saying that they're not for medicare-for-all is she going to ignore that poll because her numbers continue to drop And is Medicare for all to blame for Warren's crash? Should she not be paying attention to that poll. Well, Medicare For All I think is a big piece of this puzzle because if there's one thing the Democratic voters want it's not actually universal socialized health care or anything like that It is defeating Donald Trump so they need to nominate someone who will be electable and Elizabeth Warren

2:21:52 Warren over the summer was sort of positioning herself as the person who could be that, who could be the electable progressive. Maybe not as far to the left is Bernie Sanders but maybe doing better sharper on the trail than Joe Biden but I think her stumbles around Medicare for all have left some Democratic voters a bit worried that she's not the person to get them across the finish line yeah in other words she has no money just look at the numbers she's running out of money can't buy ads can't buy polling numbers so she's off the island done You know, out here this is one of the rare opportunities in California we have because everyone's wants to be that's where California is going to be important and one election and one election only. That's a super Tuesday number cause there's a lot of numbers involved

2:22:37 So although Democrats want to win California and so they're advertising here, but if I watch the ads the only two people that are advertising to an extreme. Bloomberg. Every once in a while an ad comes in it pops out there's only 2 and which one take a guess who? Bloomberg is number 1 and who do you think the second one is? Biden. Well of course it's Biden, yeah I should have known. Yeah Bloomberg and Biden are advertising like crazy and i don't see anybody else advertising at all they're not gonna get Cory Booker's never...I've never seen a Cory Booker ad no um I think Mayor Pete is now somewhat in play uh because he does have money that's why they call him Wall Street Pete although Amy Goodman and Michael Moore

2:23:28 had a hard time with Mayor Pete the other day. of young people are for him in the latest poll 52% of young voters that's about Bernie but here comes the peep bit. The millennial that is running 2%. Two percent of 18 to 35 year olds are for the person their age Young people want to have poop in a judge. We had poopity just yes, I'm not trying to avoid that love that boot a judge I think they say put then that's it not saying poop. They say poot here young people want to have poop in a judge we had poop bit of justice And then they're gonna correct themselves and say Listen young people want to have poop in the church. Yeah, I'm not trying to avoid trying to pronounce the name It is

2:24:29 You pronounce his name Poot! Poot. And then he corrects his Buttigieg. He never corrects Poot I like Poot, I think that's his new name. Poot. Mayor Poot. Now, Mayor Poot got butt-slammed by all right wing press And here's how Fox News presented his interview with the Iowa-Des Moines Register. Many of them want to legalize marijuana, but this is the first time we've heard a 2020 contender pledge to decriminalize every single drug out there listen to this incarceration should not even be a response to drug possession

2:25:19 across the board so if it's a meth or coke or ecstasy any drugs, if its possession incarceration isn't. That's right. Meth, coke, ecstasy all of it mayor Pete releasing his bold drug plan this week also includes reducing sentences for other drug offenses So you know this is of course what Fox News would do COKE! METH! HEROIN! Time coat If you listen to the full... now he sat with the Des Moines Register for an hour and a half.

2:25:55 But he's actually saying something a little bit differently, and I'll play it since we have some time. It's a little long about two minutes...I do not disagree with what he is saying! We've discussed on this show many times what Portugal did by now that must be 18 years ago they decriminalized didn't legalize they decriminalized all drugs as far as I know. You can go to a doctor and get her prescription for opioids or whatever you need, whatever your addiction is but across the board the numbers show that criminality related to drugs declined prostitution declined significantly A lot of things went down

2:26:43 And there is a difference between not locking people up who are strung out, who clearly have a dependency issue and need medical help. There's validity to this, but when you the way it's presented the way Fox News just presented that to you is Intended to make you feel. Oh my god. We have meth addicts running around never mentioned Portugal in any of these reports well neither does because Portugal It's just like what proves a great point But they did it's not a point anyone wants to make its weird and yeah I am against the lowering of standards for crime

2:27:22 You know, if you're drugged out and you're committing crime or you're a nuisance... Yeah! Goodbye. You gotta go whatever the penalty is for whatever you're doing, but just for possession or for using or being addicted? That's not necessarily something that should be locking people up for. Not real popular with the Fox News crowd! I think i've developed much more in the direction of criminal justice reform. I would not have said even five years ago what I believe now, which is that incarceration should not even be a response to drug possession. But what I've seen is that while there continue to be all kinds of harms associated with drug possession and use it's also the case that we have created in an effort to deal with what amounts to a public health problem We have created an even bigger problem

2:28:15 a justice problem and its own form of the health problem. If you think about the adverse impact on the child, we have kids in South Bend who've grown up with incarceration as one their first experience that makes them dramatically more likely to wind-up themselves having an encounter with criminal legal system And so I've always been skeptical mass incarceration but I love that line. I've always been skeptical of mass incarceration. Yeah, everybody should be skeptical of mass incarceration poot! What is that? You know when Hitler did mass incarceration that was very skeptical. Geez poot! One of their first experience... That makes them dramatically more likely

2:28:55 to wind up themselves having an encounter with the criminal legal system. And so I've always been skeptical of mass incarceration, but now I believe more than ever that we need to take significant steps like ending incarceration as a response to simple possession. on that is across the board. So if it's meth or coke... So you're hearing all this context which Fox News doesn't give you and here comes the one piece they took out of it, and listen to what he says after that. incarceration isn't. That's right, it doesn't mean legalization of everything and you know one issue that gets dramatically less attention than some other forms of addiction is something like synthetic marijuana in our city is mostly affecting African-American youth but a case like that

2:29:43 What we found is it's convenience stores selling this stuff that is basically rat poison sprayed onto grass. You'd be much better off with real marijuana than this stuff, which is very toxic And we worked with the community to make sure that we were addressing it at the supply end, with anybody who was selling it. The reality is you're seeing more and more counties and states, prosecutors in local criminal legal systems who want to keep people out of incarceration but don't have the funding so that there are long backlogs on these alternative-to-incarceration programs and these diversion courts. That's the example or sort of thing federal money oughta go into. It's another example something pays for itself higher rates rehabilitation

2:30:25 None of the cost of incarceration and none of the human costs to people being divided from their family, community or whatever support network might be best positioned to help them through an addiction scenario. And again, don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about blanket...I do believe in legalization of marijuana but i am not talking about blanket decriminalization of a lot of other harmful substances. I'm saying that our enforcement efforts should be targeted at those who are willfully and sometimes violently profiting off it not at those who get caught up at the level of having a substance abuse problem. So, the sad thing about this is here's a newsroom with eight people from the board of The Iowa-Des Moines Register and not a single one of them can come up with a lucid thought about incarceration being a huge business in America

2:31:18 that is set up by politicians who want people to be incarcerated because it's money in the bank. What is the name of the company, The Correctional Facilities? Correctional Corporation of America is one of them there's another one with a more high-tech name that I can't recall something in the chat room knows what it is not a single person of that newspaper this really important newspaper can come up with that So obvious. Trump man, Trump! So obvious and then the final thing I actually watched these Des Moines Register interviews because well because only little snippets are taken out and force-fed into the left or right paradigm whatever you're living in so it can affect you Joe Biden said oh I'm not gonna I won't refuse all subpoenas I'm not going to be subpoenaed blah blah blah

2:32:11 That's not exactly what he said! At all, really. Do you stand by your earlier statements that you wouldn't comply if you were subpoenaed to testify in an impeachment trial before the Senate? Correct and the reason I wouldn't is because it's all designed to deal with Trump doing what he has done his whole life trying to take the focus off him The issue is not what I did Not a single person Not one Single person Even that thug Julian and his great compatriots have said I did anything other than my job. Every one of the people who swore in testimony worked for him, Biden did his job and he did it well. This is all about a diversion. And we play this game all the time. He's done it his whole career. He's done it his whole career. And I'm very proud of the job I did. I never, never moved off dealing with corruption there.

2:33:06 Every single person thought that the prosecutor general should be fired from the IMF to all our European partners and the people in the administration. But this is a technique he uses all of time, he's a chronic liar. Doesn't that position you as if your defying a subpoena putting yourself above the law? Well, look. The grounds for them to call me would be overwhelmingly specious but so I don't anticipate that happening anyway But what it would do if I went let's say I voluntarily just said let me go make my case What are you gonna cover? You guys instead of focusing on him you're going to cover for three weeks anything I said and he's gonna get away! You guys buy into it all the time Not a joke Think about

2:33:55 As we say in my church, examine your conscience. Doesn't mean I shouldn't testify if you thought I should but think what it's about! It's all about what he does all the time his entire career take the focus off this guy violated the Constitution He said it in the driveway of The White House He acknowledged, he asked for help. Don't you find it fascinating? This is the only president that thinks that... You know I've learned three things One, Vladimir Putin doesn't want me to be President That's why he spent millions of bucks on all these thousands of bots that were finally taken down by Facebook Alright so Joe goes nuts at the end there He just blahblahblah Russian Bots blahblahblah Facebook

2:34:39 But what he, the reason why you didn't hear this is because he's calling out the media in his own Joe way. But he saying, You guys focus only on everything he does and says it's like he'll get away now true or not doesn't matter but he scolding them so we can tell you what Joe said just that he said he won't go and that is why you need to continue to produce no agenda in 2020 This is how we help you. This is what keeps you sane and thank you for those of you who helped produce this in more ways than just donations It's a community effort where what were kind of what the left wants to be I do have a couple things that wanted to get out of the way first of all, let's clear out the Eddie Gallagher story

2:35:40 Which is gonna go nowhere. I don't know anything about the Eddie Gallagher story Oh, you should know about the Eddie Gallagher story That's why I'm here Here we go Let's start with Eddie Gallagher one and you get catch up A retired Navy SEAL who has been celebrated by President Trump is under new scrutiny tonight after The Weekly, a documentary series from The New York Times obtained videotaped interviews from the Navy investigation of Gallagher's conduct And we want to warn you what you're about to see and hear is disturbing. Now, is this the guy who took a trophy photos with dead Iraqis? Yes. OK. Yeah, this is not... This is a problem in general. Well, this is a problem in general and if the guy's a psycho like some of these people like to say behind closed doors it's possible. You have to remember he's not in the Navy He already got drummed out Right

2:36:34 And the whole thing that Trump did, even though this is really an attempt to just slam Trump. It was to get him his little pin back And that pretty much is all he wanted. And so Trump did that and many people thought it was fine, I mean the National Security Advisor, this guy O'Brien defended Trump there's a lot of people that... The right wing was all in on this because they thought this guy was getting railroaded and he was getting drummed out for no good reason Well let's but it's possible there was good reason but whatever the case Trump met with him the way Obama met with Bergdahl. Obama paid for Bergdahl! Yes, Obama paid for Bergdahl to get out. This wasn't a big money loser or anything really bad but let's play through this because I had a number of people bitch and moan that we're not covering it

2:37:31 As if it was like this is a scandal, but let's play Gallagher tune. The guy got crazier and crazier In 2018 one after another Navy SEALs expressed grave concerns about their platoon leader Eddie Gallagher You can tell he was perfectly okay with killing anybody They are going against this unwritten rule of not taking dirty laundry outside of the seals. In Navy tapes obtained by The Weekly, they accuse Gallagher of targeting civilians women and children. I saw Eddie take a shot at probably a 12 year old kid It kind of turned into the platoon being Eddie's personal sniper escort to get him from place to place so he could try and do the sniper ops. He is just like mental chasing. Team members saying they would intentionally fire shots to warn Iraqi civilians. The other snipers would shoot, so they would run away and hide before Eddie would engage them They were trying to protect the civilian population from Eddie The Times also obtaining helmet camera video never seen outside of a courtroom A young ISIS fighter had been wounded by a bomb

2:38:35 He came over the radio and specifically said, don't touch him. I got him? No way you touch him he's all mine Gallagher is seen with a medic bag pushing him and then the camera goes black it is not clear why All of sudden Eddie just starts stabbing the dude I see Eddie laying over on with the knife Sticking out his neck In a text message later, the New York Times says Gallagher writes, got him with my hunting knife. Did he say anything when you did this or did you just literally pull out a knife and start stabbing him? He pulled out a knife and started stabbing me. But that seal Corey Scott changed his story in a bombshell moment at Gallagher's trial last summer after being granted immunity. He said he was the one who killed the ISIS fighter. Did you suffocate them? Yes

2:39:21 Hmm, okay. I'll wait for it all to play before I render my judgment here We'll then play the third clip. Eddie Gallagher was acquitted on charges of murder and attempted murder, he was found guilty of posing for a photo with the corpse They went in and they just told these completely fantastic unsupported and fake stories Gallagher's attorney says The New York Times is trying to re-litigate the story And says Gallagher has asked him to sue reporter Dave Phillips There are couple members of the platoon who had a personal animosity towards Eddie Gallagher. They didn't perform well in combat, they were afraid of being called out for being cowards... They made up the story and they went with it

2:40:02 This past weekend Gallagher posed for photos with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. He was a great fighter, he was one of the ultimate fighters tough guy In November president trump ordered the Pentagon not to strip Gallagher of his rank and trident pin We're still sort of on cloud nine about it but I can tell you that my family is completely grateful for this decision The Navy SEALs tonight and an attorney for Corey Scott are not commenting. NBC News has not spoken with any of the individual seals shown in those taped interviews, but the New York Times says it reached out to every one of them they all declined to comment.

2:40:45 So this is a story that is undecipherable. You don't know one way or the other on this, but it's water under the bridge at this point and why are they dredging this up if they can't even prove it? It's just an anti-Trump story. Yes, an anti Trump story but in general civilians who have never been in combat need to shut up We have this expectation somehow we are, you know...we're the proud men and women and we have righteousness on our side. And when go in there we do clean kills! No! We drone people, we shoot them up in half, we do horrible things hand-to-hand combat IEDs everywhere. War is ugly, ugly business

2:41:34 No one has the right to talk about it unless you've and people who have been in combat who have a thousand yard stare They don't talk about it. This whole thing is actually insulting Just to its insulting to war War is horrible It's ugly, it's nasty People are being shredded to bits and now that's why we should be getting out of these unnecessary Yes as the key word yes unnecessary wars I mean, the people behind these unnecessary wars or a bunch of... Haven't served themselves! Half our generals haven't served. No they're half poor chicken hawks. They're just doing it for the money. Half our generals have not served. Yeah is disgusting. We haven't done this story. I know why i haven't done it because of course I saw come by but I'm like yeah

2:42:27 I can't bring myself to talk about something that i really cannot talk about and to hear other pundits and douchebags talking about what's right or what's not right. You have no idea, I was in Iraq for 10 days you want know it scared shitless is? Go to the desert where these boys and girls are and when they're being fired at you've no idea what's going on! You'll talk very differently so this whole thing is disgusting That it's that they're bringing it up just, just to do an anti-Trump story. Hell awaits you dickheads! Hell!

2:43:09 Brother. Yeah, alright take us out here's the story about your alley yeah take us out on a high note John I gotta get out of this will be a high note hide oh real high note huh yes because we're gonna talk about drones to be regulated the FAA today put out the most comprehensive proposal yet to regulate drones then new rules are designed to make the skies safer and they wouldn't just affect commercial drone but also smaller consumer drones too Gotti Schwartz has those details In the skies across America, more drone lift-offs than ever before from hobbyists to delivery drones. And tonight a sweeping rule proposed by the FAA could bring real time tracking to most drones as soon as they take flight Think virtual drone license plates with beacons that broadcast their location and identity even for small drones bought by consumers

2:43:58 A tracking system that regulators say is needed before massive fleets of drones start making the kind of same-day deliveries companies like Amazon, Google and UPS have been planning for years. The new proposal also aimed at addressing safety issues when it comes to close calls with a new rule allowing law enforcement to monitor where nearly every drone takes off The NTSB already investigating several instances of drones crashing into aircraft and even a hot air balloon in Idaho, seen here from the drone's camera as it hits the side and tumbles out of the sky. A drone hitting an aircraft of any size is potentially a life or death situation

2:44:34 Dozens of other drones getting way too close. We missed the drone by about 30 feet off our right wing Sometimes shutting down air traffic and causing massive delays at airports like Newark or grounding critical air operations during catastrophic wildfires For now, the proposal is only a draft giving the public 60 days to comment and then another three years after the regulations are finalized to take effect. And until then any plans for large-scale drone deliveries are still a future out of reach. Gotti Schwartz NBC News Los Angeles Well I don't know exactly what was in this report because it was just Peter Metz like well there's just a lot drones flying at Amazon and we have those guys

2:45:19 What I think is going on that drone delivery to your home is not going to happen. It will be it'll take 30 years for the self-driving car to be everywhere if it's even in thirty years this is not going to happen, it's a danger, it's a menace to society, it's a danger Anyone who has a drone flying overhead with a package. It's all intended for investors It's meant to sex up the company where's uber were there with their people drones No, it's all meant to get investors excited to bring more money into your secondary offerings has nothing to do with reality Dream on its not gonna happen

2:46:14 I'm all in. You're right, it's exactly what it is. They get their little publicity for it and that's it. That's you miss the kind of where they actually showed three drones one with a UPS logo one with an Amazon logo and one with an Uber logo Exactly That's it for your deconstruction for 2019.
