Come Together

00:00 You chaps have more cheek than Kim Kardashian. And from Northern Silicon Valley where I remain, I am John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Boss Kill! Did I hear the Zephyr go by again? That's a good one Alright so this is a mystery that was a gong yeah an avogong A what? A gong Yeah, a gong Yeah, gong Oh nice Which i'll try to relent from playing to an extreme it took uh

00:58 It just showed up mysteriously. Now the family bought me a gong for my birthday and it's downstairs in the hall so when people show up at the house they get to go on that love right there man oh yeah That's like a big giant gone. Thank you ever see a Jay Arthur rank movie No, not recently. You could type it in and see what a gong can look like. Oh cool So this gong shows up I guess over Christmas because this is the box that was at the post office I was bitching about it couldn't pick up but there's nothing attached to this note so I call the meme and say who sent me another gong? Huh

01:37 And this seems to have been sent in by one of our producers. Wait, do I recall a tweet maybe? Was there a tweet someone tweeted you about a gong? I don't remember that. Hmm...I don't remember either Hey! In the morning to Tom Waits Apparently he's a listener. Tom Waits?! Yeah The Tom Waits guy!? What is he building in there?? Oh good. That's cool And I'm just read about it. Hey, hey Tom tweet will you? Do something for the show there was something strange that happened You know let me from Motorhead died which yes and It's just a behavior she retweeted that I believe oh

02:23 No, I actually retweeted Michael Butler saying he was gonna do an emergency rock and roll show. That's the guy who you know who can really do a tribute yeah Butler Yeah that's the guy you can do it a tribute but but I found myself And I stopped myself from doing it what turns out everybody does and it's a phenomenon that is...I just want to get your take on it so Lemmy's dead like oh crap now I have, I think of interviewed Lemmy but if i've talked to him a total of 10 minutes in my lifetime that's it. But of course I have pictures and video and stuff so like oh let me go find a picture of me and lemme! And then I stop myself saying why am I doing this? And then as I look at my face bag feed just like and of course you know that I have a lot of friends on the face bag who um

03:12 are in the music business, everybody posts pictures of themselves with Lemmy. And what is the point? Are you just... but help me out John. Now that you mention it! Yeah I mean what is the point because before the internet if someone died we didn't walk around with photos of ourselves look he's dead and here's me here's me look at me look at me I'm with Lemmy It's a very silly thing, but I had this phenomenon. Not to mention it But I'm healing because I stopped myself from doing it but yeah now that I mentioned it There is a picture of me and so on That is funny, thats a good observation Its apparent not to mention it Why? You gotta wonder why Yes you do have to wonder why

04:03 Don't know why the show connectivity no I think it's ego. It has to be a nice connection connection Yeah, I'm connected to the dead. I mean everybody knows you get connected to the dead You know everybody is you know? The dead if you hung out with let me either you were talking philosophy We're playing music or you would just a groupie or that was pretty much or you were getting them drinks That's pretty much it well there you go anyway sad Love and light rip so sad I wanted to see the picture now No, no. No no no it has to be at least a year before I do that now I mean lots of way. I see it. I'll put a picture up with me. I just photoshopped it. I don't care It should be you me and let me in the middle there's a picture post that I won't pose that if someone gets us a Photoshop of that yeah

04:54 Put me in there. I got my hands around and head easily women and and but i will put on it rip love and light so sad yeah, they're So sad now uh i saw a photograph watching them my twitter feed And there's a picture of kate middleton In A corset Kind Of exposing herself in some way or other and i looked at this thing and i said and it was like played kind of straight? and i'm But it's such an obvious Photoshop job that her head is way too big. It's actually kind of blend, brushed in pretty nicely I have to say it looks like it might be an actual head on somebody but its not! Its a photoshopped job and im surprised we don't see more there goes the Zephyr by the way no car attached I got an email just speaking what you just mentioned from Mary Stolbach

05:52 Subject, rampant misogyny! The things you say about women in your so-called show? OMG. It seems to me your parents didn't teach you good manners Perhaps it's that way in Amsterdam? Question mark question mark question mark Not to mention your old pal Dvorak 50s mentality I'm impressed really What? I guess she doesn't understand the show. Guess not... I replied, you clearly missed the point remove your privilege try again! I'm sure i'll get a fine response to that You won't get anything back No of course not Uh... Well she didn't send me a note Heh heh no

06:33 Well, she thinks the difference between you and me is that I think there's some You get a pass. You get a pass! Well, I think there's more to it than just getting a pass. I also think that they figure They... Figure that they can maybe save you. I'm beyond safe 50s mentality not gonna help him. Yeah can't-can't get him back no way I'm done So they saw whatever that guy he said Coot. Well, I don't know which is worse crackpot or coot it's cooting crackpot Coot did you see poppy Harlow? Poppy Harlow? Yeah on C on the CNNs

07:15 No. Ah, well it happens in the wintertime It's happened a couple times in the past few years when they turn on the brain scrambling machine That's part of the MKUltraMonarch program Oh yes I can see this and I wanted to clip because... And I did clip but then I lost the clip and then we didn't go back together and Then I wanted to double click that I wanted to do a ISO of just a little part where she goes Well here is Here's what happened. Oh God, poor girl. And then she comes back... Brian thank you so much and for all of you on Twitter who are asking if I'm okay thank you so much! I got a little hot and I passed out for a moment but i am fine we're gonna take a quick break We'll be right back Now that sound that she made there That sounds suspiciously like the president's sound that we clipped on the previous show

08:35 Everybody was making those weird noise yes, I enhance it. Yes. I assumed rotated and enhanced and So I think the American that doesn't quite work that Yeah, I think we just had lots of Okay, but that wouldn't be the real deal Poor pop. Well, she when I would it happen? I first thought that she would babble a little longer instead of the bit And that member the other there was a dispate of anchors that they started yet The proxism from some radio waves or they don't even know why but they had some with all these theories and then stopped What was the other girls name who that happened to oh

09:25 I'm sure we had that clip somewhere. We did, we had a couple of them because they would babble for awhile instead of just... she just passed out and bleh. Yeah, um.. I don't remember who it was And i wonder about her She's sitting down yeah and she had a hot flash or something and she passed out I dunno, sounds suspicious Well if it was a true hot flash I dont think shes well could be im not sure how old she is but could be Those hot flashes are crap And I can spot them. I can see women having hot flashes. You can? Yeah, for some reason... Do you see the aura? ...and I go over and say, Hot flash! Are you okay? Yeah and then hold on to them and I give a big hug. Mop their brow tell him it's gonna be okay An Austrian hug So it's going to be interesting in Austin at midnight tonight stroke of midnight open carry goes into effect here Nice they could shoot it there No, no I don't think that's allowed

10:23 But if you have a concealed carry license, you may open carry as of the first. So crime about to go down in Austin that's good Well we're having normal celebrations every which way but most the world is except Belgium Oh Belgium I got a clip? I have a clip You want my clip or...I've 34 seconds a clip My clip has got a punchline to it. Okay, then I'll play mine and then yours. Amid tight security Brussels had been preparing for the city's traditional New Year's Eve fireworks and festivities now the event has been called off over fears of a militant attack The decision was taken in conjunction with the Belgian government reportedly due to information it had received It is the nature of a gathering of so many people an enormous number you know last year 100,000 were here

11:05 and you can't control and check everyone who comes to the event. And as the inquiries are still ongoing on a local and federal level, and elements of those inquiries still being analyzed it was decided it was better not to take the risk." Now before we go to your clip... My clip is better. Oh well let's play your clip. Wait wait wait I had a comment about this yes so I wanted to hear the comment Bunch of pussies. Ah you've given up, you've given up! Are you kidding me? That is... I mean okay it's Belgium has been you know they capitulated now i don't think that's really what happened though oh You got a bean counter in there and looked at what does these fireworks cause holy crap are you kidding me look at the money we can save

11:52 We could have a party just amongst ourselves in the office. But it is, now this is where the EU government sits? This is... You know to say no more celebrations. They already shut down the whole of the whole city for a week almost yeah And oh did you did you hear? During this let me bring it up here so during the shutdown we had you know the army that Army was out and whatever army Belgium has and You know I wanted to run around trying to figure out over stay indoors shoot cower in the corner shelter-in-place meanwhile apparently So the Belgian whatever

12:31 Armed forces were there because they have a whole different barracks. They were Shacked up in the police barracks or the police station And now there's a big investigation apparently eight Army guys that had an orgy with two police women in the in the barracks Yeah, those Belgian police you know what I have to say about that all aboard trains good planes bad I'll let that slide. Now, my clip i think is a little more dramatized and I think because it comes from ABC they actually put an exclamation mark on it

13:10 All right. Overseas tonight, Belgium on alert threats of a possible terror attack forcing authorities to cancel New Year's Eve fireworks in Brussels the decision today following the arrest of two terror suspects accused of plotting to attack police soldiers and huge crowds celebrating the holidays authorities saying the plan may have been inspired by ISIS Get that in there Inspired it's so fabulous. What do you have any proof of anything, but that sounds good Well CNN had the best I think They came out with a terror package which ran a couple of times yesterday Two minutes of pure terror and and I think we should just share it with me in the year Sheer terror

14:02 With New Year's fast approaching, authorities across the world on alert for terror from Belgium to Bangladesh to New York City. People should feel safe this new year's eve because we're there you're going to have one of the most well-policed best protected events at one of the safest venues in the entire world Police in Belgium arrested two men Tuesday in connection with a plot they say to attack historic sites in the Belgian capital on or around new year's Eve Historic sites? What happened to big crowds?

15:00 You know, it becomes very troubling. They keep using words like actors directed by... I mean it's bothersome. The plot inspired though not directed by ISIS. I think JJ Abrahams couldn't make it Police conducted several terror raids Sunday and Monday seizing military uniforms and Isis propaganda the Belgian government raising the threat level to three out of a possible four meaning an attack is likely In Dhaka, Bangladesh the US Embassy warned US citizens of possible attacks on New Year's Eve. New York says there is no credible threat to the new year celebrations but it is dispatching 6,000 officers to Times Square where more than 1 million people are expected on Thursday night The Secretary of Homeland Security encouraging New York Police Academy graduates to be vigilant on their new beats. In the face of this current threat to your country

15:57 I encourage you to build bridges to the communities in this city that the Islamic State is attempting to target for recruitment. Underscoring the homegrown dangers, a British couple were both convicted today of preparing for acts of terrorism... Terrorism! ...after investigators seized stockpiles of chemicals and bomb-making materials at one of their homes It really is quite annoying to have to listen to two minutes of this guy talking like this And this video showing them testing an explosive device. It is clear that a radical and violent Islamic extremist ideology was the motivator for these offenses. On the battlefield in Syria, the coalition announced that air strikes killed ISIS leader Sharaf al-Mudan who officials say had direct links to the mastermind of the Paris attacks and was actively plotting more terror. Happy New Year citizen!

16:51 Yeah, I just realized guy has got one of those voices. So is that guy in NBC who Charlie has that strange cadence? It's getting on my nerves. Just saw another report so we have you know the actors we have was not directed by and then here's a headline alleged jihadist arrested in June on charges that he plotted to blow up Times Square may also be May also be the fiend who stabbed a nine-year old Staten Island boy in the neck five months earlier and what some investigators now believe was a botched ISIS audition. Come on What yeah, they call it. It's called an audition for what and well to New York Post go for them for the movie I don't know this is too many movie terms being used Yeah, I don't like that either Anyway, anyway you say it's obvious. I say yeah, it's obvious Isis I see he's there here. They're here everybody oh they're here Isis

18:00 So that brings us to the BS of the day. The BS of the day? Yeah, we need a jingle. I watched this and I know this was going on. I've heard about it. It's been for couple weeks as little snippets and then shows up on the big news broadcasts and so I decided to clip it. And it's just the most illogical, nutty thing and I've always been surprised... We'll talk about after you play the BS of the day! For many American travelers, a driver's license is their ID of choice when boarding a domestic flight. But as early as next year that may not be enough to clear security in some states instead you might need a passport. I think that's a little extreme. You need a passport to go through? No

18:49 In 2005, Congress passed the Real ID Act pushing states to issue more secure driver's licenses that are tougher to counterfeit and feature new technologies. The issue has gained more attention in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino By ensuring that there's consistency in a type of identification that's being presented at airports they're looking to mitigate the threat of terrorism Okay hold on So the San Bernardino attack had to do with getting on airplanes with a driver's license? Oh, wait. Wait, wait! Maybe it was the Paris attack that had to do with getting on airplanes with a driver's license? You know that there is no constitution... There is no... I know you're not required to show ID. You are not required to show ID. You have the right to free travel in the United States. All those states of course can change if they want too. The way California as of midnight tonight has changed their rules and uh... If they feel that your are danger to society then come in and take your weapons

19:51 Yeah. Well, that's... Anybody can say you're a danger. In fact there is a number of bunch of gotchas in this pretty funny like what? But let's get back to this now This is the real ID thing that took place 2005 and all the conservatives out there Oh we can't have this because they express what you just said and some other arguments We can't do this because it's though This is like a national I-ID card which is what it amounts to And registration Exactly. And so they made a big fuss about it, but where are they now? They're too busy partying. Everybody's knuckling under to this! They're too busy partying... they got nothing better- they're not paying attention to us

20:32 And by the way, Washington state... They showed that this report went on and they showed the three levels of states that have followed the rules. Most of the states but a few states in the middle and the deep south surprisingly enough they're all in. The deep south, by the way Alabama, Mississippi or what's the other one? Georgia and Florida. in. Oh, we're all in lockstep sir." Of course they were the ones moaning and groaning about national ID but they're all in that states that are kind of sketchy there. We'll get around to it which include your state Texas and California yep and then there's about four or five states that are just so far behind the curve supposedly they're gonna be in trouble you won't be able to fly out of there

21:18 Washington State being one of them. Now we have Washington's, look at the Washington state license it has all this security crap all over and there is black light things light up and holograms are on the license I don't see what the problem is This is bull crap It's a very slow erosion of a free society into a police state and no one's doing anything about it. No, no one is doing... And the states that are wrong I want to say this again those deep south states big shots big talkers they're the first to sign up for this yeah there's your conservatives well have you heard about the new house resolution that was introduced

22:01 By let's see House Resolution 569 now. It's a resolution, so it's not a bill But every all the Democrats signed on to this resolution condemning violence bigotry and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States So this is this is on the way to being outlawed Oh This is what we were getting we already witnessed this you already said it doesn't know how to been test bed in the UK oh The UK took her one step further now You know they're able to use their powers for cyber bullies As we know. And wait, there was another thing from the UK about that I do want to read this House bill for a second What was... hmmm? I'll get to it in a second but let's just look at this House bill and again resolution not a bill Whereas the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes and rhetoric have faced physical verbal and emotional abuse because they were Muslim or believed to be Muslim whereas the constitutional right to freedom of religious practice is a cherished United States value

23:02 not law, value. And violence or hate speech towards any United States community based on faith is in contravention of the nation's founding principles." They forget to mention the free speech part in here so they go through a more... it's like a UN document almost whereas where as resolved that the House of Representatives one expresses its- Can anybody really pay attention to history when they make these comments? The amount of anti-Catholic hatred that was just endemic to the United States, especially in its early years... Ongoing. Yes! ...was ridiculous. Oh these papists there used to be called. Papist. But John how about anybody who just calls out Republicans as crazy Bible thumpers? Same thing. Crazy Bible thumpers. That may be a nice backfire. That's hate speech!

23:53 So it's resolved that the House of Representatives 1 expresses its condolences for the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes, steadfastly confirms its dedication to the rights and dignity of all its citizens of all faiths beliefs and cultures denounces in the strongest terms the increase of hate speech intimidation violence vandalism arson and other hate crimes targeted against mosques Muslims or those perceived to be Muslim recognizes that the United States Muslim community has made countless positive contributions to the United States society, declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all U.S citizens including Muslims in the US should be protected and preserved urges local and federal law enforcement authorities to work to prevent hate crimes and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those perpetrators of hate crimes and reaffirms the inalienable right for every citizen to live without fear or intimidation and practice their freedom of faith

24:51 And I don't think anyone has said that Muslims can't practice their faith. But it would have been a little more balanced if this resolution had said, taking all of this into account we of course protect defend and uphold the Constitution including its First Amendment but they didn't do that No The first amendment's got to go Well, there was that guy who was a... Yeah. The guy floating around? Everybody signs on to that. That's factless. In Yale! Yale! Everybody is all on board with that. Let me get rid of this thing. It's stupid. I have... well speaking of that so now the FBI... but first of all that the FBI is even involved in this

25:33 But they are now, uh... They've offered a $5,000 reward for the perpetrator of this hate crime. Spring Valley Mosque was covered in bacon over the weekend Touching and eating the meat is against the religion of Islam So now authorities are investigating it as a hate crime Action News spoke with the founding member of that mosque earlier today He says he understands there may be some misunderstandings within the community about their faith Especially after the recent attacks in Paris and San Bernardino Well the FBI is now also involved in this investigation. And wash your hands after touching any raw meat! The FBI is involved in this investigation? In a bacon tossing problem? The FBI's involved... Yeah, somebody's getting overtime for that. Yes yes Now apparently in Germany free speech is on the move

26:23 It's also a copyright issue. And by the way, I want to stop because I just thought about this. If you notice that these crimes... there was one around here or somewhere where somebody threw a brick through a window at some small mosque that was just really a... Christalmacht! It's just real... it was in a strip mall and it was one of those little... and I've seen most of the reports have been these little strip mall operations that are really just community centers But you never see anything or hear anything about one of those massive Saudi-built mosques ever being defaced, or anything going on around those things. Is it possible that this...you know and they're that's what the ones that push the Wahhabist in the Salafists philosophies which nobody seems to want to talk about this aspect of in the Saudi Arabians financing all of these very hateful mosques? And nothing ever

27:17 is reported about any of those. Is it possible that the Saudis themselves, not the Saudis but the agents of these mosques are trashing these little mosques to get people into the big mosque? Sure! That's very possible Wouldn't surprise I would always like the recent report in Salon magazine, which is all over Twitter They went on some somebody screwed up a mosque and it was again one of those little strip malls and salon Was all over at all. I hate crime hate crime that turned out the guy was a Muslim Oh, then it can't be a hate crime so they pulled the story But again, it was a Muslim going after one of these little bitty mosques yeah this is very suspicious if you ask me I Found that the British thing

28:01 So they're coming out with this new, with these new powers which for pedophilia for hate crimes for bullying. Oh yeah and jihadists now they'll be able to pretty much I think just read anything they want They can get all the powers and now headline from the UK Emotional bullies, emotional bullies could face five years in jail. Five years in jail as new... Emotional bully? Yeah listen, emotional bullies and relationships can be punished if this bill... In relationships?! Yeah right! For up to five years in jail and this law comes into force today. Partners who cause severe psychological harm will be targeted through the Serious Crime Act

28:49 Now, emotional abuse is real. I'm not saying... but relationships are challenging and they've been that way forever! The behavior can range from stopping a partner socializing dictating what they wear monitoring them online or spying on them with phone apps You're not gonna wear THAT are you? Honey baby not those shoes This is, uh... Hey! Gimmo Nation East. I think i already said goodbye to you but im just gonna wave as you fall down the precipice there That's outrageous Yeah And I believe the bill was introduced today and theres a lot of abusive relationships that are designed that way

29:37 True and also will guys get a fair shake if they're no emotionally abused and Emotion is taking your husband to court over this isn't that itself emotional abuse? Yeah, we're constantly threatening it. I think this is can't do this thing This is what we call the slippery slope. I think it's no just the bottom already slip Screw the slopes the worst where's the bottom look enough? Wow Ah, sad. Well they've been managing to slip all the same stuff that they pull in the UK over here and I think you're at...you observed this some years back and it's been true ever since they were there with a test case. And mind you- They put up with it? Mmhmm. Apparently they put up with everything even though if you get into conversation well we don't really take it that seriously. We don't really do that yeah alright. Yeah oh yeah we got cameras all over the place but nobody really looks at them. Yeah. I mean they've rationalized their way out of this instead of like tearing down the place

30:38 Wow. And I'm, you know the Daily Mail has a very large presence in the US huge readership with their website Yes they do So this is continuous and people see this just the stream but you know what i haven't seen? I haven't seen on Twitter or the facebag anywhere people going This is outrageous! No not at all. I stumbled across the article almost And it's outrageous. It is outrageous, it's outrageous! Well here's another question I have for you... So there's this ongoing and of course we'll need to talk about this a little bit About you know Bill Clinton Donald Trump the back-and-forth. He's bad for women he's a misogynist etc and of course The the claim from candidate Clinton is that Isis is using Donald Trump as a recruiting tool yeah in movies Yeah, well Whatever that's the claim yeah how then can we not only sanction but also applaud

31:44 the anger that is being evoked by Anonymous because they're posting and this was a whole, this was another op an anonymous op let's call Muslims goat fuckers. Yeah! That's really funny yeah that was the main thesis of those posts right but that I would argue is inciting hatred and violence So you can't have all these laws. You can say, look Congress passed this resolution but then it's funny and okay if Anonymous does that by the way some of them are very funny I liked it but that's not my point where is the outrage? No! This is oh it's cool it's great Donald Trump asshole Anonymous awesome check your privilege people That's a good catch yeah Trump by the way I was watching

32:39 Jerry Seinfeld, he did the new season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with the president. You have to see this. It's outrageous! And so Jerry rolls up in a 63 Stingray Beautiful example of it and you know first of all this whole episode the president is so arrogant He's I mean really you have to watch it. You can't even pull one clip he's just so incredible like yeah, I should be on Mount Rushmore We sure it just wasn't joking around. No, no, no, he likes to be with comics because he thinks... He and Jerry was nervous! He had notes and he was looking at his notes for questions. Probably cause they had guns trained on him. It's possible but Seinfeld said something about the 63 Corvette Stingray and it reminded me of where we are today

33:33 I'm paraphrasing with something like, you know the 63 Corvette Stingray. It was loud it was brash You know It's just thrown together Like we in America used to do with our cars like stick all this shit on it put big bumpers on it Put this oversized engine in it and like and we loved it And that is the magic of Donald Trump We love the 63 stingray That's why Donald Trump is doing so well It's- he is everything America. It's pushed on, bits and bobs like Mr Potato Head. Brr, burger! That's what we love. Well that's an interesting theory. The 63 Stingray wasn't thrown together that randomly... This is what Seinfeld said

34:18 Oh, he did? Yeah. That's funny because he is like this car nut even though he doesn't really have a collection I don't think this is his...I think he borrows them No, he does He borrows all of them Usually at the beginning it says where he got them or thanks to get the end and credits who we borrowed from Right He gets a lot of cars Not a lot but he gets a few cars from Leno's Three garage full of cars There guy was real collector Yeah Leno for sure Well since we got the elections A few election clips. Okay, this is the Financial Times for us stories like the Chinese stock market Sagas the eurozone crisis see ongoing question about the Fed and the state of American business Volkswagen have been incredible for FT circulation and for attracting readers to our site

35:08 But the real gift that keeps giving and giving and giving, that no one expected is Donald Trump. I mean Donald Trump is now the Kim Kardashian of the political and economic world in America! In a sense you put him on a headline and guarantee get massive amount of interest from Financial Times readers And I'm sure BBC listens too. There ya go again You do never underestimate the American public. I want to call out CBS ever since john dickerson took over face the nation i've been watching that show is so it's a competitor to uh... the other show and then meet impressed with me to meet the ponies be with tapper

35:47 or not tap who's that other guy does uh goatee yeah the yeah him yeah me chuck chuck chuck chuck chuck meet the press is snide and it's really got this other this guy it's just really a snide nasty show john dickerson He's the most objective guy I've ever seen do any of these shows. And who is he? He's a new guy that took over Bob Schaefer on Face The Nation, you know, he hasn't gotten a lot of accolades but I watch him...he plays it straight Trumps a candidate, he's not a clown or a bozo! Right. He's just a candidate let's talk at it from those perspectives and he-and its just an absolutely refreshing thing to see this guy Oh, he won't last

36:30 He's a little neutral. He might be too neutral, but he gets good people that have a good discussion... I think I have a clip here from one of his shows. Yeah it looks like donor class FTN? Yeah this is one of the clips that you'd get on this and its down to earth discussion its not a oh what a bonehead! What an idiot! What a clown! Where's hi spinning bow tie?! What did we learn, if anything about money? We're talking about the situation in which basically the grassroots overwhelms the elites. The elites are the ones with the money there was a lot of talk before this campaign about how candidates with fundraising prowess Scott Walker gone from the race. Jeb Bush shock and awe he'd raised so much money not doing well in the polls Did we learned anything about the power of this populist movement with respect to money? We learned that you can't buy an election And that is very heartening

37:25 that small donors can still have a big influence. We also were reminded of a lesson that we knew before but forgot in all of the super PAC moments, and that is donating to a candidate is the first vote so the candidates who can draw small donors can survive because that's real support. And the funny thing with Trump, that people overlook is he talks about you know I don't want your money i'm financing my own campaign... He's not!

38:00 He's not if you go back and look because he's not buying TV ads, so he's not spending big. He actually has enough small donations unsolicited coming into his campaign that he's financing it with their money So we were we have been reminded that The money primary does matter, and that is in the small donor not necessarily the big donor. Yeah it's part of the interesting paradox of Trump that this billionaire would serve as the most effective vehicle for those populist... This populists train is something we've heard going back several cycles certainly to Pat Buchanan but that Trump is able to call out the donor class the way he has because he's been a member of it is kind of remarkable

38:42 I didn't see this, but did the-I'm sure that right after this they said it's so amazing that this was supposed to be the year of Citizens United. The Super PACS! The Koch brothers were going to buy the elections! Buy the Senate! And i guess they didn't mention that, did they? That is exactly uh... the point i think there was being made even though They wasn't actually saying This show has made that point before Oh okay and then if you listen to this start this discussion It's actually sane Because they're not... I mean if it was on Meet the President, well how does a clown like Trump manage to pull this off? Okay. Okay! Then I like what you're saying. You've given props

39:21 This is on Fox or CBS? CBS. All right, well I'll start watching it. Everything's CBS. I got a clip of Trump about his he's now going to start spending on ads Yes good. I'll be spending a minimum of two million dollars per week and perhaps substantially more than that. Where? Jeb has spent 40 million dollars and you guys... No he hasn't spent $40 million He's wasted $40 million That's great. This is an opportunity. Did you see Savannah Guthrie? She's on the CBS show, right? Savannah Guthrie is on NBC. NBC? Yeah. Hi, NBC. She had Trump on the phone and now Savannah is beautiful but

40:09 She kind of fell apart. We saw that she was beautiful. Now we get another letter from that woman. Yeah, she's a news model and I don't know why but Well, actually I think I do know why. Because having been in the media and when you're at a big corporation and the conversation especially if it's live is not going the way that you think suits will want it You get flustered, you get nervous Oh this is no how its supposed to happen! Oh no, I don't know what to say Donald Trump, I'm afraid of him! He also said that he has, this is different tweet quote A terrible record of women abuse And I wondered if you could get specific about that What are you referring too? In particular

40:51 All of you look at the different situations, of course we can name many of them. I can get you a list and I'll have it sent to your office in two seconds but there were certainly a lot of abusive women and if you look whether it's Monica Lewinsky or Paula Jones or many of them that certainly will be fair game. Certainly if they play the woman's card with respect to me that would be fair game. You mentioned Monica Lewinsky. Are you saying an alleged extramarital affair that of course he has now admitted is that fair game in a campaign? Yeah, I don't think that's a He's admitted it. You don't have to use the word all right which is exactly so are you saying an extramarital affair by Bill Clinton Is their game and something that you think should be in the campaign? Wow

41:45 You don't have to use the word alleged. She's using it just randomly. Well, to protect the Clintons of course is what you do. But I think that other thing you've noticed with going back again to this discussion of grassroots support... You mean conversation? As about no, I mean discussion and Citizens United has not come up in the conversation from any point... A discussion you mean? No, the conversation. The conversation? They have... it has just not shown up! I mean you know because everything... Bernie Sanders stopped? No Because it's like moot now so they've shot themselves in the foot because Trump is not supported by the Koch brothers And nor is Bernie Sanders Right exactly

42:36 So how the yeah this is hopefully this will stop and that people realize that this is just This kind of like the 40 million that Jeb Bush wasted it went to people. Oh, yeah Yeah, we know what went to people? Yeah, I went to course I saw the Spike Lee movie And it was called Chi-Raq Okay, and I didn't once. I wonder what circumstance did you see it on Amazon? I did not realize it's an Amazon Studios production okay, so it was on Amazon yeah download right is you have to pay yes, okay 1499

43:18 Wow! But you know, I never complain about movie prices. Just look at the credits at the end. Do you think? No, I understand that a lot goes into it but... But do have a quick review of this because let me take a look at this thing and I didn't realize it was Amazon Studios but of course because it is Amazon Studios everybody made money on this Spike Lee of course at the top but everyone's in it All those guys are in it. I'm looking for my yeah, I'm looking for my notes here Yeah Amazon is not considered one of the smart Investors and movies well money away And I don't think they know how to begin this there's great cameos and they're not even cameos full-on roles lots of lots of Superstars we supposed to pay that guy $1,500 for that one second yell right all right very common but

44:16 watching it and what it is, the story of Lysistrata which of course was a great Greek tragedy where the women I think of Sparta say we're going to stop. We don't want war anymore so now we're not gonna have sex with our men anymore And this is a very old story and it's retold. Almost all of the dialogue in the movie is rhymed or rapped because, of course, it's in Chicago and there are a lot of hip-hop rap things around it which makes it a little jarring to watch but the big problem is this thing is just jam packed with war on guns

44:57 Everything's brought up. Sandy Hooks, South Carolina the gun show loophole It's like watching CNN in a movie Wow or democracy now maybe I should say Well if it was democracy now there'd be more climate change issues in the movie Correct that didn't show up But it as an art piece interesting to watch, but it's so blatant It's almost like they plug these bits into the story. Hey let's make sure we hit these talking points It's complete talking points very disappointed. So you're telling this is the movie stinks? Yeah sucks yeah You know it's nice to watch as a doesn't are it's look at guys a great director. I don't know about that No, it's worth watching for the cinematography but The message is

45:41 Yeah. Of course no one will watch this. You're right! $1499, I know movies... No! Nobody's gonna watch that!! No. Not gonna happen. It'll show up probably on History Channel eventually. Eventually. Eventually Now, Germany's much more creative with their new product. For the first time in 70 years, Germany is publishing a new edition of Adolf Hitler's political treatise Mein Kampf. The Bavarian government has held the copyright to the work but that expires at the end of the year and Munich's Institute for Contemporary History plans to begin selling copies Germany's Justice Minister, Heiko Maas says officials can do little to stop them. It is not easy to ban this for copyright reasons however anything that seems to be a hate crime can be pursued. Criminal offenses related to hate crimes will be very systematically pursued in the future The new addition will include thousands of critical comments and a survey shows 51% of Germans are in favor of allowing it sale

46:39 But Jewish leaders fear the new printing will inflame racist sentiments in Germany. Why racist? Why not xenophobic or anti-Semitic? I didn't understand... Everything's racist. ...the closes, but this is a business opportunity John It's out of copyright. We can make beautiful, leather-bound Mein Kampf books and sell them." Uh yeah okay or... it's not really our... I know the exact same thing is going on with the Diary of Anne Frank you recall maybe a couple years back we detected there's some there's a fight between two different foundations? You have the Anne Frank Foundation and then the Anne Frank

47:26 something else. One is in France, one is in Belgium and they've been arguing over the copyrights so this Anne Frank's... Is it Anne Frank's hideout in Holland? Yes Amsterdam well I don't know but I didn't look it up but I know there are two different groups who claim to own the copyright now this is the copyright expires on January 1st Which would mean it should be able to be put online and, you know, put on just anywhere so people can read. It's a very important book is a very important document historically but now these two groups are fighting because they believe that they own the copyrights and then they have done so much significant additional work to The Diary that they now have new copyright on it. Well, they have a copyright under additional new work

48:14 But my that's probably true, but they they don't I guess the point is their pill company. They think they're a big farmer They can pull this kind of crap off no it's about money It's about money and find it unbelievable not doable with copyrights find it unbelievable just put it out This is this is for generations now This is needed more than ever do for our income. This is all we've got this you haven't planned for the future Enough about this podcast, but I'm talking about the book hey It's an I mean get your check your check your privilege people Stop this. This is great the more now more than ever people should be reading this book kids Let them read it for free nah not copyright we own copyright just sell it sell it horrible people Money-grubbing horrible people turn a lighter note mm-hmm

49:07 So I've been watching the 3x3 thing, we can play a little bit of that. There's nothing i love more than a little 3x3. Now it's time for 3 by three! Experiment by JC Dean! Comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC The never ending 3 x 3 Alrighty, 3x3, what is this now? It's 13 months. Three years... I've been watching ABC looking for the...I'm kind of concentrating on the native advertising. And they do it on all the ABC shows, and they're doing more than any one. Is it like product placement or real native advertising? Well this is a little bit about both. I'm looking for real native advertising and let's see, I got two examples here but what they've done seems to me because they can't seem to sell the C-block anymore

50:05 Even though they had a couple of, they got a couple of gimmicks and one of them actually turns out to be an axe. Ask Adam I'll do that one later but they've moved it to the D block And now they're selling the entire D block to whoever wants to buy it. As a native ad, the whole block could be yours? The whole block's in there but in this case because they can't sell out their inventory... I don't know who is selling this but I do not know if you've ever met TV and radio advertising salesmen. Let me think. Yeah! I have employed many of them. What are you talking about? Most were terrible. They have brown shoes and all wear brown shoes. Brown shoes hey, you sell ads.

50:41 You got a good show, they can sell plenty of ads. And I have my stories to tell too. So they've gone into the D-block and so they decide to use the D-block as much as they can for like native Native advertising house advertising. Oh, for their own stuff? For their own... So the main thing now is they've been running all you gotta watch the ABC New Year's Eve party and they do all kinds of teases for it but the worst one was this one and this is the D-block native ad house ad Finally tonight the famous stars who are in the new Star Wars movie but like so many of you I didn't catch it either here's Nick Watt

51:23 Records are tumbling as the force awakens. Now, the biggest opening two weekends of all time, Biggest Christmas Day and the fastest movie to pass a billion box office dollars. Unicorn! Inevitably her secrets are spilling out 007's Daniel Craig plays an ineffectual stormtrooper Spectre was filming in the studio next door to Star Wars Craig just popped over for a day Star Wars alums Ewan McGregor and the late Alec Guinness lend their voices, Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lord is a resistance fighter briefly. Oh and Bill Hader of SNL and trainwreck fame was a voice consultant

52:02 and DC has made very specific guidelines for online and television. You have to disclaim it somewhere." So they did that? Yeah, well I'm not saying they didn't do that but its just like give me a break who cares this is the stupidest story I've ever heard but they keep doing this. The one thing I have to say though and there's just little side thing I promised was going talk about this couple shows ago in mention of newsletter what Disney has done something really don't see that much

52:53 which is normal marketing strategies. Generally speaking, when you're selling stuff if you have a hot... You know the movie industry we've seen this they have a crap movie and so they push the heck out of it before it comes out and they let it die in the box office and everyone goes oh well but when they have a hot movie they don't milk at the way Disney's doing there are still doing deals for all sorts of like tie-ins on for this movie and that's what you're supposed to do Genuine marketing you don't let the thing throw it against the wall after all this heavy-duty marketing and then just let it die on the vine, you keep marketing and marketing and marketing. You never stop." And that's what they're doing and I'm actually very impressed by that. They're gonna crack all records for total sales using this technique. Oh yeah! Of course they are still working licensing deals continuously... It's great Now, the other native ad that i saw is an ad that went unsold. I think they packaged this up

53:52 It's about streaming the Beatles. They packaged it up and played it in the C-block as usual, but nobody bought! Oh they didn't buy it? So they didn't have Pandora or Spotify or anybody take the bait on this one. Who knows?! So they didn't mention a brand... But they did this story anyway so I decided just to take the story because its kind of interesting This is the clip here you gotta be careful. This asks Adam Beatles AD ABC1 Well The Beatles their music streaming online for the first time on Christmas Eve And can you guess which song was the clear winner Well, I stopped it right there. Uh-huh what song was the clue? I'm asking you You're the guy what song was the clear winner if I give you can give us a top three be great Oh man, I know this is a tough game And I'm not looking it up because it would be very easy and I think I saw This news article flowed by and I was not interested How about okay now we got to I'll give you my I'll give you five that I think of one of them's gotta be in the red down so It has to be

54:57 Come together. Just guessing What else would be? Help little help for my friends I'll say imagine doesn't count right has to be Beatles but can't be John Lennon can be solo work I don't know Hmm, I don't know man is it kind of just gonna play the answer I don't think I have any of them probably The answer well the Beatles their music streaming online for the first time on Christmas Eve and can you guess which song was the clear winner

55:38 What were the other two he mentioned I didn't hear him well, what were you doing? I was too busy celebrating. I had the number one are you kidding me? I nailed it come together the most popular followed by let it be Hey Jude. All right, let's look at these songs come together Let it be hey Jude Which is they're all on the same album aren't they? I don't know if they're on the same album or not But these are all politically themed songs in today's world which makes me very suspicious And I don't know why you'd pick come together as a best Beatles song no I didn't say was my best Beatles song I'm thinking about the people I'm just who would I'm a disco jockey I know the public

56:25 Well, I don't... okay tell me explain to me why Come Together is such a great song. If i could explain 35 years of radio disc jockey experience? I would! I can't I didn't say it's the best song, it's the most streamed song. Yeah the most played. So come together which is a song about getting you know... It's an anti-Donald Trump song. Let's start with that! You're saying its rigged? Its Spotify those damn Swedes rigging our elections again. Tell ya! I'll take it now come together and truly think of it. Okay I don't need any more than this let's face it it's an anti Donald Trump song. Hold on hold on

57:04 This is also incredibly unfair and bullcrap, you're right. They should have sold it to Spotify You know we find out oh the Beatles you can stream them you go open Spotify And there's like a couple tracks they have right there which are gonna click first So it's you know It's what has played most not ranked rated or popular. Oh so they haven't set up that way? That falls into your thesis Yeah yeah Although you guessing the song ruined a whole thing, but that's okay. The long shot I think you probably read it somewhere. No no no no why? Why do you throw shade on me? On the theory the Theory I am an anti Donald Trump thing I gave you I gave you that's my ops for your very proud of yourself

57:57 Let's go to the second song, let it be. When you find yourself in times of trouble Hillary Clinton comes to me I think you might be onto something with that Yeah and Mother Mary, Mother Mary Okay Mother Hilary Mother Hilari okay Okay so this is theirs...I think these are two politically themed songs that they phonily balonely put up at the top And then the last one hey Jude This is an Israeli anti-Israeli tune Of course it is Hey, Jew. Yeah well this is here it is the number three most popular song the most streamed song from The Beatles on Spotify They should have added this one So hey Jude

58:50 Okay, come together you probably guessed for a good reason but there's no... Hey Jude is not the... If given a choice of the entire catalog of Beatles songs Hey Jude wouldn't be in the top 10. I disagree I disagree. These are boring tunes and Beatles have a lot of good stuff! John, check your privilege! I don't know why i said that but it sounds great. I'm a disc jockey. I've played these songs for 40 years now 37 years these are the songs they want yesterday they want hey Jude they want to come together. Yesterday was in front of top three. I'm just telling you this is what they want and that song Hey Jude was written about

59:35 Julian, Julian Lennon. I just changed it from Hey Jules to Hey Jude but... I think this is a politically motivated list. Okay. I'm sorry! And then he couldn't sell the pots maybe Spotify said well ah well they're the ones that put the list together Well was it only Spotify or did Apple? It's a scam! Yeah okay and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you John C, where the c stands for come together Dvorak. Okay well in the morning to you Mr Adam Curry also in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there And in the morning everybody in the chat room noagendastream.com good to see y'all there on the last day of 2015 and In the morning to all of our artists and Nick The Rat did you get that email from PewDiePie?

It's an all-out art war Well you know I looked at the art that PewDiePie would put his effort into actually trying to make art that we'd pick instead of just anti NickTheRat art yeah exactly i think it would be time better spent I agree then its also cheapening the page and the whole idea You know this is like a volunteer thing people can you know do what you know? They don't have to submit anything and just because Nick the rat happens to be on a roll And I mentioned to PewDiePie cutie whatever his name is yeah that you know for a while we had the dominance the ruling years of Martin J.

Yeah, it's on the song. Amen. OK. Um, I want to mention something here

1:08:25 Mimi showed the other day she was on Facebook. Facebag? I like that, by the way. Yeah, I think it's good too. On the No Agenda pages and there was a guy on there because i don't look at that and the guy on there is railing about how he went back first he condemned me for saying you shouldn't have to go back and listen all the shows because it's dumb so he spent the last two-and-a-half years...I saw her posting So I know what you're gonna talk about try so she said for the last two and a half he's just that he doesn't care What I think it's interesting And so he's why listen to all the shows in episode one all through to the current shows and He says it's interesting because you get some you get a true feeling for the breadth of the show as It develops. I don't believe you have to go all the way to want to do that. I think you can start at 100

1:09:15 But he's feeling for the breadth of the show. But then, which I thought was interesting... It's amazing how often those guys are like six months out on their predictions! They'll say something six months out and then it will happen And I said, well that's a good observation because when you're... Well sometimes when you're out way too far like six months. Yeah then no one cares by the time it comes around. When it comes around everyone else is taking credit who was at like two weeks out so It is true we do that We are very good at it Mimi's comment was actually little different on the Facebook page No what she said? She said just because he says he doesn't need to doesn't mean you have to listen to him That's what she said

1:09:59 That's what she said. Robert Slout Jr., $222.22 from Glendale, Arizona we get an email from him I don't see one. Let me see let me take one last look... Okay i finally got the end of show so if I can get this thing to work What are you looking for bro? Slout S-L-A-U-G-H-T I think. Do I have it spelled right? Yep, nothing.

I would appreciate some baby girl pregnancy karma for boys and a dream. For Mr. who has four boys already he doesn't need another one for Mrs. Strange and some, and the little girl will be more fun.

But like an F the EU 2 to the head shut up slave little girl.

I have a I've two divorces that say probably not We'll say probably now what I probably can't hit her in the mouth it's not gonna work

1:13:32 Well you... He just wants girlfriend advice. I don't have a girlfriend. Oh, I thought he just wanted her girlfriend's advice to get the girlfriends to uh.. To hit her in the mouth! Yeah, to watch this show and listen to this show. Oh yeah, I know how. If you go to the No Agenda player and you can just go through the different episodes and find one where we're talking nice about nurses There are plenty of those That's what, lots of them Yeah, or nurses in the post office. We yeah very fondly are very fond of nurses and postal workers absolutely All right, I'm giving some karma definitely wants that for 2016 congratulations Thank you for your support.

1:14:27 to give yourself and your families a big shoot of karma, and play any jingle that you enjoy. John I was wondering if you would be willing to create a Kickstarter for your cycles book? You do have to give the money back if you don't deliver it now. I was thinking about this. About a Kickstarter? No about... There were something what was the thing that got on too just recently? You started looking into something. Oh Flat Earth! No, no. Something real the dude likes to actually learn about. Now I think about it later... Oh you mean resonant antennas? No! But that's part of the- Mag loops?! No, something newer. Oh yeah okay got it. Sorry for the delay. ETA on Dvorak's brain. One minute. Something about you and there is..I should explain a couple things one of the things that- I'm already not liking how your starting this.

1:15:25 you do something similar but not the same and then the rest of my family does kind of the same thing I do, which is like The Cycles book. The Cycles book is done. I just need a little impetus to finish it, to produce it. I did The Cycles book for myself to understand some of these cycles. Now I understand them, it's kind of over now... I totally understand that. The other thing is the Vinegar book. I did the same thing pretty much the Vinegar book is like a week from being done and I can finish at any time but I kinda learned what I needed to know. pretty much everything I need to know about making vinegar, I just haven't done the book part of it. Now you do this very similar thing but you take it more extreme than I do and I'm actually kind of like amazed by that and you've done this before

1:16:11 And here's what I'm gonna predict. You get into something, like you got into the podcasting thing and you invented it for all practical purposes and then you actually implemented it. For some reason you made some investments that were really good and you started a helicopter company because for some reason you got deep into to the point where you lost all your money Now, but that's getting into... I just want to point out that my business partner in the venture was a crook and ran away. He was wanted by the Scotland Yard and ran out of money so it wasn't exactly that idea was bad. Well you picked the wrong guy. But it doesn't matter pick the wrong guy. You always pick the wrong guy. Pick the wrong partner yeah?

1:16:49 Now, but you did I got became a ham. You decided to become a ham bunch of people became hams you got carried away? You just went deep into it deep. You're not designing antennas. I don't know what Europe Yeah, during the 20 meter band 8080 meter band with a little bit or without my God mm-hmm so okay So you'd you would have been in that position for years The next thing you're doing, because I just spotted it. What is he doing here? Hold on hold on let me think the next thing i'll be doing yes the next thing you'll be doing because you are a nut thank you is private rail cars now your just starting to look... I gotta tell you wow! You know me when I saw that Railcar 33 and I thought about first of all

1:17:46 Why don't I just sell the Airstream, rent this thing because it goes all the way across the country. Have you seen this? With a master bedroom, it's got stripper poles is fantastic and just do the show from the train." Now... Or get one and rent it out. I'm thinking the following is going to occur if you stay interested, which you tend to do. You're more focused on that. I'm really not a train guy but I am interested in personalized transportation. You can be a train guy easily enough. I can be the Uber of Train! Well, thinking along those lines And here's why I'm thinking it. All of a sudden, your interest has been peaked and you're looking into it." This is the first signs of what's gonna happen. The second thing is you've already done kind of a leasing business in the past with helicopters. Yeah, yeah...and you know how? You make money on the deadheads that's how you make the money. So here you have a business that's wide open for internet connectivity for them and there's nobody who really

1:18:48 Done anything with these private rail cars are all individual you're one of onesies and Tuesday's I've got two of them. I can be the two I can be the uber of trains You could be some guy who's like a train guy in fact hold on a second now? I know a lot of train guys, you're one of them. I'm never been a train guy Never had a train set was never really interested yeah But let me trains it before I mention this let me just say that we just get the URL Let me get the domain name. Let me see if it's available Please say yes. Doom doom, doom doom. No too bad I was gonna get troober dot com that would have been great. Nah it's been taken The Uber of trains! Troober Oh i get it How about uber tea? Uber tea? I'ma bet you everything all of that stuff is taken man You can just bet on it Who is...ubertea dot com That's gonna be taken Yeah that's taken By some uh German outfit

1:19:54 I want my domain name back. Work on it, okay? Well maybe... It's a possibility and i think would be fantastic because those trains are dynamite there's all kinds of them! There are so many of them out there these private cars Now here is the part that people may not know some people have figured this out but in some cases it is my belief that you live vicariously through me And I am thinking that all you are really pushing for is for me to drive up right in front of your house behind the Zephyr Johnny

1:20:31 Am I right? Really am i right exactly true? outstanding Good and let's uh, let's play. Let's move on Let's give victor as karma will put a couple of faint good jingles at the end of the show I have one I have a jingle for him and that is also one for you because you requested it Bill from indie came through I've been watching you No no no no no no no no no no come on where was I'm just gonna wait till we get this done. This is a rowdy crowd!

You've got Karma. And finally last but not least is Brian who is an Irvine California and it only wants to be known as Brian

1:22:27 And let's see here, where is he? Please keep me anonymous. Just call me Brian Irvine. Bri-ivine! That should be an honest enough. Yeah, I'd be a complete douchebag. I've been listening to from the very first episode or he puts it in the very fifth episode. Yep! I've never contributed even though i love this show please de-douch me. No let's do that right now. You've been de-douched. I also want to comment that the shows are never long enough. The longer, the better! When I catch up on No Agenda episodes, I have to listen to other podcasts... It's a very sad time for me when he listens to other podcasts. I can't get enough of No Agenda. Thank you so much for the work you guys do to make this the best podcast in the universe."

1:23:29 Thanks. Have a great New Year, Brian! Happy New Year to you Brian I want to give you big dose of closing out the last executive or associate executive producer donation for 2015 Thank You very much Brian! You've got karma And that'll conclude our executive associate executive producers for a show. 7861 reminds you that next show is seven, which will end the mile high club offer. Then you get in the mile high club and did 787 jet last Boeing number they've used. They haven't done it 97 I'm sure they'll do a 999 or something one of these days

1:24:09 But remember to go to Dvorak.org slash NA, we do have another show coming up on oh I guess it'll be the third or second? First show of the new year! Yeah first show of the new year so anyway Dvorak.org slash na. Thank you all very much for these end-of-year contributions to The Best Podcast in the Universe always forgetting the formula! Our formula is this... We go out and hit people in the mouth Hey citizens. Shut up slave! Shut up slave? Oh, I have two promo items We have a brand new No Agenda CD which is titled AGW WTF This is from of course our producer Why am I spacing

1:25:14 Ramsey. Ramsey, thank you very much. Kane. Sir. Sir Ramsey Kane I don't know what happened there it must have been that MK Ultra weapon focused on my head finally new NA CD this one's a whopper and pulled enough clips for four No Agenda CDs and this is the first the forthcoming CDs will all be topic specific the source one being focused on anthropogenic global warming it's titled AGWWTF and can be found as usual at noagendacd.com propagate the formula slaves hail Apple Thank you very much for that idea. It's great, and I remember during the era of the trucers in the mid-2000s there used to be a group of them that hung out around San Francisco's financial district with signs hanging up holding a sign up and they were handing out CDs which was just a bunch of little documentaries about 9 11 attack

1:26:12 It's very interesting. They've got a lot of attention, they got a lot of CDs out there. You can also download the mp3s if you want to do it that way but it's fun to download them he's even got the ISO so you can burn the CD, he's got the labels everything is a great initiative we really appreciate it Also Matthew J. Steven said Adam please remember to plug the meetup site MeetUp.com slash noagenda Looking for anyone wanting to organize meetups for the human resources, anyone wanting to host let me know I'll make them the organizer. In most cases it's actually very little work pick a location at time I keep hearing people want to have a meet up so let's get it going! Next Meetup... Yeah we need to do that. Next Meetup Dallas Fort Worth January 9 4 p.m.. Bedford Texas

1:26:56 Already a half dozen human resources planning to attend. Hey, I might go out there. Where's my driver Texas? I said near the Dallas Fort Worth area now again on my email because they just look at that Just notice something in my email mm-hmm have an email from Chelsea Clinton Asking you to chip in $1 for mom My mom could really use your help today hate it when they say chip in They always use that word ship in And I got a, who else sent an email on the Hillary account? Let me just see. Bill bill sends a mail send one on the Hillary account yeah John see it would mean so much to my mom To have your support before the year ends tonight. Yeah, this campaign wouldn't be possible without it without my Donation it won't be possible So here's that here's the hitch in $1 before midnight Mimi because I remember I'm Mimi on that email I can't say you blame me You know I thought back on this This is not true

1:27:59 It was an accident that I put Mimi. Yeah, adamantcurry.com named Mimi and very funny. Mimi says Hillary, I can't say it any more clearly if we lose Iowa or New Hampshire is going to be a lot harder to win the nomination and were going to be in a weaker position when it comes time to keep a Republican out of the White House before midnight's deadline chip in one dollar to help win the crucial early primaries. Mine was pitch-in You got chipping. I got chipping, yeah. Yeah i got pitching but this message doesn't...I mean you know this better than I do. I feel this is not exciting! I don't want to donate when if we lose it could be hard to win

1:28:45 Really? Is that Hillary playing the underdog card again, like we discussed. Is that her idea because I don't find that to be very motivating other than you know look at what Trump's doing yeah well We're great were winning or doing a great job and the title of this subject is for email Taking a negative approach like that is not a positive thing it's not good But does it work? The thing that I see missing from the pitches and we get all the pitches. I get the pitches, you know on this mailing list. The main thing i see missing is because they're trying to get the youth vote. You'd want to get the use you vote. Well, they're passing up on the whole thing about these Millennials They want a story yeah yes one song. Yeah, we were talking about this after the show John and I the only time we really talk is after the show then I should be recording boredom We have to post and I should be recording because sometimes you read things like from the web And they're just beautiful reads man It's just so good

1:29:47 But we're talking about this, the millennia like Whole Foods. If you go into Whole Foods and I'm going to let you come up with the punchline, you go into Whole Foods anything you buy there has a story. Oh my grandmother made this lemonade and then she died of cancer and I found in the bottom drawer the recipe and everyone loves Grandma Lucy's fantastic lemonade hope he would enjoy it as much as we do! And then of course that the big selling point is What you told me I did. I have it on my salt oh Yeah, a small batch small batch that's right Small batch yes, I noticed this when we were Christmas shopping Mimi and I were at the this Housewares place called sur la tabla which is there's one in Seattle which means? On the table something like that and

1:30:42 It's really expensive stuff. So I went over and there are these little bottles, they're not little little but they're small, I'd say they're probably 12 ounce maybe 14 ounce bottle that was grenadine syrup but it wasn't grenadine syrup in the you know like $6 quart you can buy at a liquor store It was small batch. Small batch? Small batch grenadine syrup. I love that. Peter's small batch grenadine syrup and it was 20 bucks! Yeah, small batch. And so it's like twice as much just for the moniker, small batch soy. I was mentioning this to Adam and then he pulls up some salt that I have in the kitchen which makes you wonder but he brings his salt and it says how do you have a small batch of salt? What makes you wonder? Frank... What makes you wonder that I've salt in the kitchen? No, that you'd have a small batch of salt

1:31:38 Well, Tina gave me these as a gift and I yeah those are gifts all and we actually were taught we were talking about salts Yeah, so then and then I said oh my god. You won't believe what it says right on the top small batch It's not like there's a whole ocean full of salt But small that salt everywhere the best podcast in the universe small batch edition Small Batch small bash up most well Hillary did So they're doing a crappy job is what it was to summarize. Yes, no it's totally crap Hillary had a little moment and you can just see and this of course was scripted set up with some kid about What does her the pay perspective I think is what she calls it in this clip? The pay perspective pay perspective to equal pay

1:32:30 But this is how the youths of America have been corrupted and how, of course, this propagates through these scripted appearances. Clinton did not mention Trump by name at a rally in New Hampshire. She argued the economy does better when a Democrat is president. She also got a question about equal pay for women came from a young boy whose mother is a teacher and father is an engineer. I think my mother is working much harder, is working more harder than my father. And she deserves to have more money... like get more money than my father! Oh that's really so sweet! This is SO wrong So the takeaway for this kid on equal pay is My mom works harder for my dad She should have more money This kid needs to be taught something right away

1:33:25 That how hard you work does not equate to how much money you make. But that and but just... Right, which is a bad message by the way Very bad message I mean so a guy who digs up coal, ya know? A guy who just digs a ditch by hand You know it's almost a lot harder than the guy with the backhoe He gets more money Well this is-I was talking about this at dinner the other night or we were talking about this, the American male particularly middle-aged white guy is portrayed endlessly everywhere as a doofus loser. Okay honey I'm sorry i forgot to get it. It's been going on since the 50s there's been a concerted effort since the 50s in media to portray the American white male family man as a doofus

1:34:19 Do is that maybe it started with all in the family is when a really no no No, it was way before that all in the family just exaggerated it and made it kind of a mocked it mocked actually mocked the model yeah and but before that with father-knows best and all those black-and-white shows, Ozzy & Harriet. What did Ozzy ever do? What'd he do for a living? I don't know! Simpsons of course has been more recent that's been ongoing for a long time. The Simpsons again is the same thing taken to an extreme which is kind of what the All in the Family was into, it made the guy even bigger A-hole and what was annoying about that guy... Bewitched

1:35:01 Yeah, just a bonehead stumbling bumbling guy. The thing about All in the Family was it was Norman Lee or left-wing propagandist promoting this guy supposedly and during this era this made no sense he was portrayed...this guy Archie would have been a middle class suburban living kind of a right-wing Democrat. He would have always been a Democrat, that was the era where those people were...the working class entire working class was Democrats during most of this country's history. This guy for some reason because it didn't fit the model perfectly Norman Lear decided to make him a Republican. And that works very well! Which makes no sense at all. But it worked well

1:35:51 Well, it worked well for the ratings and it was great for the liberals in the Hollywood market. I have to say that...I'm not inspired or anything but I do think that the relationship between men and women uh..in ISIS is much more attractive to me Among the many Islamic State rules unearthed by a US military raid is a detailed code for how to deal with female sex slaves. Including when the so-called owners of those women can have sex with them. Jonathan Landay is on the story. Fatwa, this religious order was issued to settle disputes that arose between members of the Islamic State. Hey man! That's my slave! Over the treatment of female slaves so it deals with when sex can be had with a woman captive who can have sex with... There are actually very humane ideas they've got here

1:36:46 when they can have sex with them, the different prohibitions on the different kinds of sexual activities that can be had with them and that kind of thing. Many of the sex slaves are from religious minorities like the Yazidis who have faced intense persecution from ISIS since the militants rolled into Iraq last year and their often brutal treatment is presented in shocking detail Here comes my favorite So one of the prohibitions mentioned in this fatwa is one against an owner having sex with a captive woman and her daughter. It's the old mother-daughter combo, Jon! Woohoo! Nas for botan!

1:37:26 Now you can see why you have these morons from different places Deciding to join Isis thinking they're gonna get some sort of a deal No It's not a good deal because you can't have sex with the mother and You can't have sex with the mother and the daughter at the same time which goes against all rules of pornography daughter The prohibition says you can either have sex with the mother or you can have sex with the daughter. Let me think But you can't have sex with both most mainstream scholars reject Islamic State's interpretation saying the practice of slavery is forbidden in Islam Well, okay. Well those Isis guys man I don't think it's forbidden in any religion actually and the religious texts hmm but yeah What's that woman? It's gonna write you another letter um course. I'm sure Misogynist Adam yeah misogynistic adam at Marie dot coms right that would be me and will be me

1:38:22 So where were we? We kind of lost track. Uh, we were talking about salt and stuff so yeah... Salt! Yeah Okay, we can move on I think we've got a small batch Very small batch Umm..I think i have another Let's talk- Hey, I tell you what I think it is time to open the climate gate Ohhhh I'd love to go to the gate To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gaaat Usually I'm the one at the gate opening it up. Yes, I rarely do this very excited because I've been watching as part of my three by three have also been watching Democracy Now and Amy Goodman who's that was a big pusher of climate science? And let's start with like early in the week when we had all these floods there was like a really strange weather you recall we had tornadoes and you were scoffing at me then

1:39:15 Dallas and another 20 people died around here. It is terrible now, yeah in Dallas was and they showed that she did a great job of showing what a mess it was so Texas got hit hard we got... And I want to say i wasn't the Aries net I was participating passing traffic back-and-forth when needed oh good good no that's what being a ham is all about We could save your life honey I need to buy this $2,000 transmitter because it could save your life It'll save somebody's life and is worth a lot more than, that life is worth more than $2,000. Absolutely Now let's start with the first of the week and Amy does a great roundup of all the disasters happening everywhere in the world as well This is weather porn And this is Amy Goodman Weather Report 1 Hold on Yes One

1:40:08 At least 43 people died over the Christmas holiday weekend in a series of storms that hit the South, Southwest and Midwest United States. Missouri and New Mexico have declared a state of emergency. Tornadoes were reported in 10 states including Michigan which recorded its first ever tornado in December The deadliest storms were in Texas, where at least 11 people died when tornadoes hit areas near Dallas. Now a historic snowstorm is heading toward Dallas after causing blizzard-like conditions in New Mexico, Oklahoma and western Texas. Another 10 people died in tornadoes in Mississippi—six more in Tennessee. Flash floods also killed at least 13 people in Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas, where as much as nine inches of rain fell

1:40:52 on some areas. A Birmingham, Alabama resident described the destruction after a tornado touched down. Meanwhile heat records were broken on Christmas Day across the East Coast from Maine to Florida and Christmas Eve the thermometer topped her record breaking 70 degrees in New York City Philadelphia and Washington DC Extreme weather also continues around the world. More than 100,000 people have had to evacuate their homes in areas of Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina amid severe flooding and British Prime Minister David Cameron has deployed 500 soldiers to address unprecedented flooding in northern England. Scores of flood warnings have been issued across England Wales and Scotland. We'll have more on the links between record-breaking heat tornadoes

1:41:40 I'm out of time. She brings it all together as you know, you know that there's not climate but okay I feel so sad for the children of England. They'll never see snow again only in snow globes Yes, I wish we had a clip of that. Yeah well no It was just an article news But it was now I just want to at the by the end of this series like yesterday The day before the show she decided to wrap the weather again but this time Let's see, what is the name of this clip? Beating the Drum. Beating the Drum, yeah, this is Beating The Drum. Yesterday she decides that this report that we just heard was just too long before she could get to her punchline about climate change so she rewrote it and and this is the way she handled the second go-round. Extreme weather fueled by climate change continues to ravage parts of the United States. Severe flooding across the south caused two barges to sink in Mississippi while a road collapsed in South Carolina

1:42:39 In Wichita, Kansas powerful winds forced a passenger jet carrying 160 people off the runway. Meanwhile officials in Missouri say four international soldiers who were in the state for training are among the flooding victims their car was swept away as they drove I thought this was all caused by El Nino? Well it's caused by climate change let's face it Hey hold on! Hold on The science is in! Now, science... So she brings this guy on who's this expert and who just wrote some paper about tornadoes. And she brings him on and the first thing the guy does is this-and it's some journal I've never heard of but the first thing she does is bring this guy on and this is a clip number one

1:43:27 And he kind of like soft pedals her whole idea because she's so into this. Play this and then I have a little comment, because I will now... playing the role of a journalist, I will ask the next question after this clip. ...of the paper The Increasing Efficiency Of Tornado Days In The United States recently published by the journal Climate Dynamics Professor welcome to Democracy Now! Can you start off by talking about the weather we've seen especially the tornadoes? Is there a link to climate change? Well first of all Amy it's really important to note

1:44:03 That the link between climate change and tornadoes is still in its infancy. Nothing is conclusive. What we do see though, is that tornado seem to be coming even bigger bunches So in the past we might see a day with five or six tornadoes Now we're seeing days with 10-15 tornados All right, seem. They be seemingly...they seem. They seem. Allegedly. Now this is the spot where she comes in and this is where she would if she's doing her job or instead of just pounding the drum for climate change, she would say well there's more. Is that? Is it possible that has something to do with the way they're reported because reporting has changed a lot over the years and ever since that movie that came out, Cyclone movie I can't remember the name of it.

1:44:58 I think it's called Cyclone. Sharknado, no, Sharknado. Twister. Sharknado. I'm talking about twister not sharknado. People have been more aware now they popularize tornado chasers or tornados come and go and they get reported differently than they used to be 50 years ago so there might be more because there are just more reporting. And maybe there is more access to media? is just more, more and more. So what exactly would your question be? That would be the question is it possible that the reason for the observed...more observed tornadoes because of reporting has changed Oh! That's a trick! Watch it! So, that's the kind of question I'd ask in this circumstance. Let's see what Amy does. We might see a day with five or six tornadoes now we're seeing days... Is she biting into an apple? I heard that on the first clip too! What is she doing it's like she bit into an apple?! ...we might see a day with five or six tornadoes now we're seeing days with 10 to 15 tornadoes

1:45:57 And so talk about those links, the links to both the numbers and also the intensity. Intensity? Yeah, there are actually two things that we see not only are we seeing tornadoes come in bigger bunches We're also seeing them last longer once they hit the ground they seem to be They seem to be. This is all bullcrap! Total lies. For the beginning, they seemed to be this... we don't know? Is there any numbers to back any of this seems-to-be stuff? No Also the word now is the scariest part of the season's weird weather is coming soon it will heat up the North Pole

1:46:42 Yeah, we're gonna get a North Pole heat wave now. Yeah the north pole fabulous That's enough fabulous all right It's hard to take much of this but that's my that's my version of your climate report That's a good I like it. I like it you can close the gate yes here We go and I probably should close the three by four Kinda closed Alright, we got some... I don't know why I have two clips of this. About... well let's see how long are they? Two reports The Israeli government is suggesting that it may file a formal complaint with the Obama administration because of allegations published in the Wall Street Journal that the White House has continued to spy on the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and on other top Israeli officials

1:47:35 The journal's story suggests that the Obama administration continued to spy on the Israeli government because of concerns that Israel was going to try and find a way to derail negotiations between P5 plus 1 and Iran over that country's nuclear program. even though the white house is not formally uh... condemned or rejected the story officials unnamed in the wall street journal piece suggested that they had to continue doing things i'd like this for national security purposes we play the second clip because it's something a little more interesting as i was conducting foreign surveillance on israeli officials including primus is a guy from reuters german and then yahoo and uh... within

1:48:19 dragnet surveillance, some communications from those officials to members of Congress was also included. So incidentally members of Congress senators and law and representatives their communications during the Iran nuclear negotiations were surveilled by by the Obama administration. This flies in the face of President Obama's statements in the aftermath of Edward Snowden leaks on NSA surveillance of US allies such as Germany's Angela Merkel Unless there is a compelling national security purpose, which there is we will not monitor the communications of heads of state and government our close friends and allies So what the problem here is that Congress persons and senators

1:49:01 You know, their communications were eavesdropped. And of course you can do that to the citizens of a state but you do it to their leaders, their rulers they got all bent out of shape But I would love to see some of this because, of course we have a disproportionate percentage of Jewish Congress persons and senators who clearly have very direct links to Israel. And I would've loved to seen what was going back and forth. Yeah. Schumer's email. Schumer and Head is Gone Lady and all of them I mean, it's just interesting that the amount of Jewish congresspersons and senators is disproportionately high to the makeup of the population that they represent. I don't know how high is... Yeah! Of course no, It's very high. Okay well could be. Let me find out. Most come from... Well there are a couple of them that don't but most come from pretty Jewish districts and tend to be in the house So 2% of the adult population in United States is Jewish?

1:50:12 Who is this from? This ABC. Can we trust ABC? Generally, unless it's an ad Jewish representation accounts for 7% of Congress and 12 percent of the Senate which ABC News says is a considerably high percentage so yeah before you call me a Nazi... Yeah, pointing it out Hate speech Thank You In New York New York is coming up with Some new regulation which I find interesting New York City has warned landlords employers and businesses. They could be running afoul of the law by purposely calling a transgender woman him or mister when she prefers a female title and pronoun or by barring her from using a women's restroom

1:51:09 New guidelines detail the legal protections of transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers, gender non conforming New Yorkers and what constitutes discrimination under the city's human rights law. You know, it's an old thing that you always see. Coaches will do it, sergeants in the army will do it, cops will do a lot of people to do it there's a fight or something break is two guys start beating each other up and somebody comes into interrupted and they come in and they say ladies ladies stop it right oh yes speech yes this rude I mean it's meant to be misogynistic its rudeness everything so everything's wrong about

1:51:52 Well, the whole American culture is being ruined by this stuff. That's always been a funny scene. Call a bunch of guys ladies! Alright... The guidelines- here we go. Todays guideline strengthens those laws by ensuring that every transgender and gender nonconforming person in New York Receives the dignity and respect they deserve. This is Mayor Bill de Blasio, the guidelines state Dress codes requiring men to wear ties or women to wear skirts are discriminatory Failing to provide yeah So if you have a dress code at your work And it requires men to wear ties or women to wear skirts they-you can be fined for this What? In New York, yeah

1:52:42 New York, the town that everyone wears a suit and tie? Only if it's a required dress code. So as long as you don't require it... You guys don't have to wear a suit and tie here in the office! But if you want to work here, you might want to consider it. If you wanna get a job, you might wanna think about it. You might wanna consider it. So we have to resort to unwritten rules to run the society now. If you write something down, you're going to get sued. This will end John... I think it'll begin to end when we have the 2017 depression Right Because people won't care who they're eating! I don't care what your pronoun is You're tasty Very nice Yeah no there are um.. They call it... What did they? I know if I save this They call it

1:53:34 Front stabbing. This is Wall Street Journal that came out today and they're saying that Companies are encouraging Their employees to no longer be nice to each other well you can be nice be cordial But just say it just state it You don't have to pussyfoot around everything I'd been I really agree this is hurting business Well, you can't be...you can't talk in an audience if you're in a meeting. Anything you say could violate someone's safe space or hurt them and companies are now really saying hey let's just be...they call it front stabbing where they put your finger on someone's chest to please just cut to the bone get it out there. No one is going to do that! But it does highlight how anti-competitive all this stuff is.

1:54:33 Yeah, it's bad. All right what else I'll say well probably right about now Angela Merkel is giving her New Year's Eve speech and for This will be about an hour in 15 minutes For the first time ever there will be Arabic subtitles Arabic mm-hmm before the migrants Is it Arabic that they write to speak in Syria? A-a, yeah? Think so. It's a dialect it's all Arabic is all a dialect. There should be some gaps

1:55:13 But that's gonna drive people crazy in Germany. Yeah, I've got several emails about it and Angola in general is not doing too well It's been a busy Christmas for German police in the Bavarian city of Rosenheim every day They say up to 2,000 migrants cross into the country from Austria It's hard on our families because they are without us and the federal police are on duty around-the-clock Most officers consider it part of their job, but not everyone in Germany supports Angela Merkel's policy. According to the Develt newspaper, Germany's federal states are planning to spend around 17 billion euros dealing with the refugee crisis in 2016. That is almost 2 billion more

1:55:55 than the central government allocated to its education and research ministry this year. The German economy can cope, latest data suggests industrial companies plan to increase investments by 6% in 2016. And long-term Germany needs migrants. Migration is sort of purely economic terms will be good for the German economy and will help to maintain growth especially when you consider that population growth in Germany itself is weak but it is a very tricky balancing act and I'm not sure that Merkel is quite as in charge she should be of the current situation. Her popularity rating has fallen in recent months as result to the migrant situation and de Welt said the latest figure could end up being far higher, It was apparently based on estimates that 800 thousand refugees would come to Germany in 2015 at the end of November the actual figure was already 965 thousands

1:56:48 Yeah, and this policy is so mind-boggling to me. I've seen this policy fail drastically in the Netherlands. Well you're gonna see it again. Oh it's much worse they're expecting 35 million Muslim immigrants living and working in Germany by 2100 How many? 35 million That's built that's built They have a lot of kids because I guess they like having kids but also you get money for each kid you produce Right. He's a money maker! Yeah, and if you can get the kids to be productive it's okay but I'm not so sure... Well this will be a problem Now also in Euroland the bail-ins are back two banks failed and have seen bail ins meaning these shareholders in the bank lose And of course oftentimes people are coerced into

1:57:45 investing in a bond that the bank perhaps holds. So Portugal had a bank bail-in and Italy had a bank bail-in, which is very similar to what happened in Cyprus and this is kind of the new Troika idea like if your banks failing we don't really care you just screw the shareholders or depositors even because they take some with the depositors. Well they should take the depositors with them Alright, well now I've got a couple of things here that I want to get out of the way. One is there's been a lot of discussion about Gitmo which has really irked me

1:58:32 Obama's making a last ditch effort to close this thing. Yeah, that's what he said. He said you can take that to the bank. I'm gonna close Guantanamo! You can take it to the bank? Never going to take it to the bank It's a bail-in of his Bank apparently and what happened...it seems to me..I got these reports from Democracy Now!, it seems as though I don't think Obama wants to close Gitmo or ever cared to close Gitmo. These full of crap But the liberal news media, specifically Democracy Now! is so naive. If they just look at the facts they'd realize Obama did not release as many prisoners as George Bush did but they blamed the Republicans that he can't release them because the Republicans led George Bush to it but

1:59:15 The Republicans wouldn't let him do it, even though he of course had the House and Senate to himself at the beginning. He could have just closed the place. And now they're blaming the Pentagon? Oh, the Pentagon won't let him close it! It just goes on and on with one story after another about how he can't close it because everybody else doesn't want to close it." I think he doesn't want to close, and I think that the giveaway here is what they don't bring up is take a look at the drone numbers. George Bush killed...oh, well, I don't know if you had maybe 100 or something like that with the drones? I don't have the number but we do know Obama is like a drone maniac. He's killing people left and right as much as he can. It's way over what Bush ever did

1:59:52 So and they're just blind to this and so I'm gonna play the report. They're not only blind to it, they think it's funny! I have two words for you predator drones You will never see it coming. Yeah, exactly. So start with Gitmo Update. This month will mark seven years since President Obama's inauguration that also means it will be seven years since the president ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Bay military prison in one of his first executive actions We all know that has not panned out, with 107 prisoners still there. It's also well known that congressional Republicans are the biggest obstacle passing a series of measures blocking Obama's efforts

2:00:34 But now a new report sheds light on another hurdle that's received far less attention. According to Reuters, the Pentagon has thwarted the Obama administration's efforts to close Guantanamo by imposing bureaucratic hurdles to delay or derail prisoners' release. A former official compared negotiating prisoner releases with military brass to punching a pillow. The Pentagon delays forced four Afghans to spend an additional 40 years in Guantanamo despite their approval for transfer. The Pentagon has even meddled with the effort to enlist other countries in accepting free prisoners. It's refused to provide foreign governments with photographs and basic documentation necessary for the transfer process, and it's barred foreign delegations from spending the night at Guantanamo and reduced their interview times with eligible prisoners making the prisoners much harder to vet." I have a question maybe it's appropriate right now

2:01:30 to explain the issue of Guantanamo Bay. I think that people don't even talk about it anymore, what exactly is the issue? Why was the president so adamant about closing it?" Well, it was determined by the left mostly that this was a horrible place. It was a place where you could just imprison people without due cause without habeas corpus or anything, just throw them in there. It's like a throw away the key it's like devil's island kind of an operation. Yeah but habeas corpus is not...is for American citizens is not to... Well but even if there was no military...I mean the whole thing yes that's the point you get him out of US soil so you got even if he was American you could take an American I think they tried to do that with one guy who supposedly was a terrorist. I'm just trying to understand why everyone was crazy about closing it? What was..it wasn't Abu Ghraib I think a lot people may be confused and

2:02:23 Well, there was a crossover with Abu Ghraib because there was some supposed torturing going on by the CIA at Guantanamo too. And that's why he was gonna close it? I just don't remember! The reason is because we didn't think it was bad... It was not in the United States' interest to have this sort of Devil's Island prison. It was bad for our image. It was just a bad thing. What was good or what was it doing? You can take that to the bank It was just, it became a campaign issue in 2006-2007. And so he was all in on it. Oh okay well we're gonna close this take you to the bank we're going to close right away and so he got an immediately signed some papers that is to close it and nothing happened

2:03:07 And I just doubt his sincerity about the whole thing because it's handy. I think Guantanamo is seen as...I don't think it's a good thing to have either, but it's seen as handy because you can threaten people with it, you could throw them in there and once you throw him in that you'd like to throw away the key they don't have to be guilty of anything. You can just throw him in. It's great! That's great for the empire And somebody briefed him on it, I think. And he's been all in on it! This is nonsense this report on democracy now. Because Obama... the poor victim is Obama. Republicans are causing it as if he can't

2:03:46 You know, take a team and walk over there and find out what the problem is. Why can't you get these Afghans out of here? Also start firing people so you want to dishonorable discharge and you can sue the government trying to get your pension if you don't get this guy out of here tomorrow. He's the president. I mean, you do have some abilities to take action and make things happen This is why... He's not doing any of it! No no It's bullcrap So here's part two where he's blaming the Republicans again as all these- As the Republicans fall for everything The obstruction appears reserved for President Obama While President Bush transferred 532 prisoners out of Guantanamo and faced no political opposition

2:04:25 has only been able to transfer 131 during his two terms. Obama has said he'll push Congress on closure during his final year in White House, but Reuters notes with the added obstacles from the Pentagon it's increasingly doubtful that Obama will be able to fulfill his pledge." Yeah. Poor guy. Yeah He does a good job of playing the victim card. He doesn't want it closed anymore than any of these other guys want it closed It's too handy! No...no...it's nice to have a place you can just throw away the key I was looking... It's like that Chicago operation, which they finally cracked down on. That bill... Yeah, take your prisoner. That's more egregious than anything else. Well that's just on our property. It's on the United States soil. It's outrageous that that's going on in Chicago. Well we're talking about this report came out and investigation. The Pentagon Department of Defense has to be audit ready by 2017 so their last year is coming up

2:05:24 Oh, I have not heard this. Yes well there's two other nuggets of information one the amount of money the army not the defense department the army alone lost track of between 2003 2011 5.8 billion dollars they just don't know where it is just lost track of it Lost track of it now The Pentagon spoke to Reuters and said we're probably not going to meet the deadline They got two year, a year. A whole year. Would you like to know their reason? Don't put a bunch of auditors in place and have people start looking at numbers. Oh no! No would you like to know their reason?!

2:06:03 I'll bet. The main reason is rooted in the Pentagon's continuing reliance on a tangle of thousands of disparate, obsolete largely incompatible accounting and business management systems many of those systems were built in the 70s and use outmoded computer languages such as COBOL! And old mainframes they use antiquated file systems that make it difficult or impossible to search for data okay Bullshit! Go look at SAP or Bonn. These guys are still running crap on Cobol, that's what they do What a lie and Reuters? Okay, I'll write that down Yeah with the hook in their mouth reel them in Here's here's the final quote from a former defense official It's like if every electrical socket in the Pentagon had a different shape and voltage No no come on

2:07:02 And this is your, well it's Reuters. They lose all credibility. Technology when it comes to technology reporting people really really don't know what to do The journalists are clueless the tech horny news journalists are clueless Well they only want talk about phones and oh there's a new Google Glass its remodeled Oh my god Well, this is bullcrap. It's a lie! In fact I would wager to say that Cobol... if you've got the AS400, these IBM systems it may be old iron but it does work. Yeah, it's not as though the stuff isn't working. Numbers are going in and coming out. Yes of course! No, its fraud waste abuse and criminal activity

2:07:56 And then, oh well poor boy I guess they can't do it. They're doing the best." We are a nation that we love violence and war. I'm sorry it's what is who we are? We have bombs and rockets in our national anthem! I don't think that's in most national anthems. We got bombs bursting in air... That's who we are. Here's an interesting story. Oh this one by the way did you catch this This is the, uh... about the Secret Service guys? Mmmmm no. A very strange story out of the blue happens to be Hillary's boys for some reason this happened There is another headline we're following on the campaign trail tonight a deadly crash involving four secret service agents assigned to keep candidates safe in this case assigned to a Clinton rally ABC's Lindsay Janis is in New Hampshire

2:08:51 This is what's left of the Ford Taurus that was carrying four Secret Service agents who are on duty protecting Hillary Clinton. The agents, two men and two women were driving down this New Hampshire highway during a snowstorm last night when the driver of a vehicle in the oncoming lane crossed over double yellow lines hitting them. Two ambulances requested motor vehicle crash within traffic This is a head-on collision. That's correct, yeah so both vehicles collided with each other and then spun off of each other All the victims including those four agents had to be cut out of their vehicles The driver of the car that caused the crash 45 year old Bruce Danforth died on the scene Police say Danforth who has previous arrests for drugs was driving on a suspended license

2:09:36 Today Hillary Clinton giving her condolences to the victims saying she's grateful every day for the Secret Service Kill the ones that want to pop the news about her is what I say. That's what i'm looking at it like an orchestrated hit reminded me of uh, The series Rubicon. Yeah, this guy's in the lane He moves over for a perfect head-on with the one car that's got the Secret Service guys in it. Did I misunderstand? It speeds up! Was this a former Hillary Secret Service person? These are the current Hillary Secret Service people The current ones...I think, or they were the ones that were doing the shh... The ones who know...The troublemakers! This is a message to somebody, I have no idea. It's the troublemakers oh yeah Wow But this is definitely uh

2:10:29 you know, something's up with this. I thought it was very fishy." Well just to reiterate we heard very early on from insiders that the Secret Service hate her and that they will totally...you know what is the term? Klap uit de school. Sabotage! No they would uh..that's a Dutch saying i can't come up with an English version for it which means they would clap out of school I know it doesn't really translate. No, they're gonna rat on her and tell everyone about what she's really up to! I don't think they're going to get away with that. This was a message. There is another one here... an odd murder.

2:11:14 That seems suspicious. OK, the one from Democracy Now! Odd murder. Syrian journalist and documentary filmmaker who worked to expose atrocities by the self-proclaimed Islamic State has been killed in Turkey. Naji Jurf worked with the citizen journalist group Raqqa is being slaughtered silently In a statement, the group said Jurf was assassinated with a silencer equipped pistol in Turkish town near the Syrian border He was due to fly with his family the next day to seek asylum in France. Did you hear about the Ian Murdoch death? No, he is the founder of Debian Linux Oh yeah, yeah, the Linux guy right somebody people requested us that discuss this I've never heard about it but i looked into it. I looked into it too and here's what I can't find I can't found find any official

2:10:29 you know, something's up with this. I thought it was very fishy." Well just to reiterate we heard very early on from insiders that the Secret Service hate her and that they will totally...you know what is the term? Klap uit de school. Sabotage! No they would uh..that's a Dutch saying i can't come up with an English version for it which means they would clap out of school I know it doesn't really translate. No, they're gonna rat on her and tell everyone about what she's really up to! I don't think they're going to get away with that. This was a message. There is another one here... an odd murder.

I looked into it too and here's what I can't find I can't found find any official

2:12:03 announcement that he either killed himself or was killed. I mean, we only have tweets! Yeah, then someone's and then someone said that he committed suicide But I where I don't have it disappeared in this the whole thing is very suspicious And what what is being said is all you know he was being abused and then he was tweeting about the abuse? I don't see how you can be in jail and tweeting at the same time over your arrest that I'm there was that his Being beat up by the police yeah came over beat him up once and they came back three of them. Yeah including a lady cop from San Francisco and beat him up again for what? But this is we don't know. We only know that's what he tweeted. Horrible story I want more information, I was really unable to maybe you know by tomorrow or something will have more but i can't really comment on it because I just don't know anything else than tweets

2:12:53 I mean, well, it gets the insinuation is he was working on a very successful open source projects like Docker and of course Debian Linux. And you know, Bob, I guess we have to, you know, some guys killing them off to stop Lennox. I don't think so. Yeah. That's what I was thinking it just somebody says all his very big in the open source community made lots of enemies. I'm thinking why does nobody try taking a shot at Richard Stallman? There's a guy who has made nothing but enemies You don't hear any of this because this doesn't happen. There's no reason what did the guy do that he would be targeted? Because he's an open source I mean come on So I got a note here Adam read the fucking chat room, and I'm doing a show here So let me say with a heavy heart debian's pass more in the passing but buh-buh-buh I Don't see it. I just don't see it They don't say how he died

2:13:48 Yeah, was he hung? Did he shoot himself? Did he cut his wrist? Did he take pills? I mean come on one of them. Nothing. Yeah, I need a little more info for sure And why did it become such a color out of the blue becomes such a tweeted up Well people are obviously oh no it's a murder well if you're insinuating It's a murder If you see the tweets yes Yes, I just don't understand how police yeah How you can be tweeting when you're being beat up in jail? I just don't get it. I don't get it Okay We'll find out We'll find something out. I doubt it, I think this whole thing is a... I don't know, I really don't know. A creation or something? But people are obviously shocked because he's a big presence on the you know these mailing lists are huge and a lot of people were shocked guys 42 was apparently dead and maybe his police brutality who knows but there's no reporting other than from some tech press

2:14:43 so Chat room give me something I can get all their information from the tweets. That's what I think yeah Yeah, which is not really you know people don't even know if it's him tweeting because he Rita cats for all I know Just saying By donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah Well As usual, we have people to thank. We want to thank them profusely for helping support show 7... what is it? 786? And as soon I find my cursor... It's attached that thing no one will use! It's called a mouse. There it is. Jeez. 786 Alright let's start with Sam Leong in Toronto Canada 12345

2:15:43 And he... By the way, the amount of hate from the chat room that we are just saying give me some reporting is pretty crazy. The chat rooms nuts it's a real problem in fact the chat room because we have a real chatroom that lets us we let them condemn us yeah and we don't has very poorly moderated so no but I did we don't want moderation No i'd like disruption to be taken out That's not disruption. There is no disruption. No, I'm saying disruption...what if some guy for example Joe Schmoe is on there and he just has you know something just a line that goes down to the bottom and all the way keeps going it says go Patriots yeah we have moderation for that that does not happen what I'm talking about We have that but people just being mean and yelling at us It actually gives me power

2:27:17 to wish you a good slide into the new year or guten rutsch as they say in German. Keep up the good work and keep the fire between you two burning! The more I listen, the more i realize how amazing your combined talent really is it's yin and yang You have it. It's push and pull what I've had a lot of different ideas, and of course all of them pretty much deemed nutty by you No particular yes, I didn't say the Rental train cars are nutty no talking second ham guy was nutty know everything else Well maybe well this second half for show what about it? Well? I never said it was nutty

2:28:02 Yes, I said that space elevators were the future. Space elevator. Though a tried and tested way to launch space missions, firing rockets isn't fuel efficient. Thoth Technology of Canada says its planned 20km high space elevator tower could solve that If you have a 20km tall tower and you launch from the tower then you can get this space in single stage orbit so normally on rocket launches you launch vertically for awhile and then you expel those stages of the propellant, and those will fall down back to the ocean. And then you continue on. By this, you would eliminate that part of the journey

2:28:48 The Thoth X tower could cut mission fuel costs by 30%. The tower will be built of reinforced inflatable sections, while a hollow middle would allow an elevator car to bring the rocket to the top. Thoth says it could also be used for communications, to generate wind energy and even for tourism. There's a lot opportunities for the structure... So I'm hearing this something this guy is full of crap why did they do this report but listen... Tourism is one You'd have a great sight of the earth at 20 kilometers up. You see about 1,000 kilometers in any direction Thoth has a US patent for the tower, which will be more than 20 times higher than any other man-made structure. It plans to build a working prototype within five years The company is also part of NASA's mission to land on the asteroid Bennu Yeah So they're part of NASA? Let's see... You'd get in the elevator and you go up 100 thousand feet

2:29:44 Which is what they say. Yeah, 20 kilometers. There's no air up there and so you have to bring a Scott Airpack or something I don't know how long it'd take to go up 100 thousand feet that's...20 miles they say? 20 kilometers Okay well we'll call it twenty miles just for the round things off So I can do some math No! That's like two times as much No its not It's like twenty percent more Maybe Not even that much A kilometer is 1 point 8 something A mile is one point eight kilometers almost 2 I'm sorry. I must be nuts again second half of show crazy curry 1 point a kilometer is wrong Okay, not one point eight miles How many we go to the Google mm-hmm you're right it is? One point six no was that high yeah

2:30:39 And the Canadian dollar is 72 cents. Well that's... It's more frightening than not knowing, yeah one point is at one point The irony of the Canadian dollar is that it was worth more than a dollar like about three years ago A couple years ago now I mean Now we should see the thing collapse so fast We should go live in Canada Well shopping in Canada is fantastic Of course, and it makes oil cheap for us. Everything! How does that work? Why is their currency down by 25% almost which is the same in miles I've never seen a collapse like this And they're expecting another 20 percent drop Wow Anyway okay whatever the case you go away...it would take forever to get up to the top

2:31:24 It takes forever. I just love that you thought a mile and a kilometer were about the same, that's... Well, I never thought they were the same because I look at my speedometer and I can see that if i'm doing 100 kilometers I'm not doing anywhere near it. 60% more is not the same as 20%. Well, it's definitely not the same as 1.8. Its close-1.8 is closer to 1.6 than 1.2 Yeah, 2.2 Just can't stand it, can you? Should have been 1.4 New rules! The mile is now 1.4 kilometers. Screw y'all, alright. Whatever the case it's still a long ways up and if a bird hits that thing the whole thing will come tumbling down. That thing is stupid. That's the stupidest idea ever Well...it's funded by NASA It's funded

2:32:18 That makes no sense to me. That's taxpayers money at NASA! Yes sir So you're paying to build this fiasco? And you think it's fine I'm not taking your bait Okay... I learned something interesting about the Volkswagen scandal Yes. Which I still think is, uh... increasing evidence actually showing that it was a real hit job on the German economy. Definitely! And now Bosch is being brought into it What did Bosch got to do with it? Well, Bosch, they sell the engineering of the electronic ECU, the Electronic Control Unit for these cars The software is in the ECU

2:33:17 So now Bosch is being brought into it. And Bosch, Bosch is huge! Oh my gosh I don't know if they have different divisions If they can protect other divisions They could just spin off this one They'll have to Well, they're probably where all the coders were. Or they're probably the ones who came up with it... I wouldn't be surprised if Bosch didn't come up with the idea. So some research includes insight into cheating for advanced managers and code extraction from ECUs from eBay so they've been trading this code around too. Yeah now these guys...Bosch is going to be in trouble and it's just another company, another German company that's being hit. Find it very fascinating actually

2:34:04 Well, if you're an American company and you're playing by the rules or at least your cheating in a way that's not so obvious or bad You'd probably bust these guys of course and target them Because they're the competition. I still think it's a good time to buy a Volkswagen. I would, if i had the money. They're on sale the whole thing. I wanted to mention something about this internet dot org and Mark Zuckerberg all bent out of shape and saying that you know this is wrong and unfair...I'm talking about the free internet that Facebook is providing they just shut it down in Egypt uh they shut it down in India

2:34:46 And, you know this was the big vision. The big dream of Mark Zuckerberg to connect another billion people and I applaud the government of India. I applaud the government of Egypt for whatever radicals are running it for I looked into what is actually going on and it's a despicable operation that Zuckerberg is trying to put together Explain. The idea is you get free internet in the form of something called the Free Basics, okay? And I'm gonna go to their website you can check it out. You said okay! I know i did but it says Tizolacon Valley story so you have to say okay and write a couple times otherwise people don't think you know what you're talking about

2:35:38 Here it is, at internet.org so they have this platform reach the next wave of people coming to the Internet join the Free Basics Platform by adding your app website or service to free basics which provides people free access to a range of basic services and markets where internet access may be less affordable So the rub with these governments and they call it net neutrality but what is going on is you get the access but only for the free basics If you want to go onto the internet, any other website than the Free Basics then you have to pay. And even that they say that I immediately uploaded noagendershow or registered noagendershow.com and we'd go through this whole process of why it should be on the Free Basics Why should everybody have it? Then I looked at the guidelines

2:36:32 the participation guidelines as to what these free basics will do with your internet content and how egregious, this is Zuckerberg building the biggest walled garden ever. So stop! You've actually, instead of just doing a report on this you've actually taken part. Yes I registered our website of course! Great That sounds like a winner for us we get that Indian market with the they know they never donate because they're cheap yeah They will at least listen No We are not going to be approved We won't but where's my approval? I'm still waiting Listen to the participation guidelines and free basics and what these guys really do

2:37:13 So if you say, all right my site noagendashow.com please put that in the free basics here are the five points your site may be proxied to make your content available through Free Basics you can let us know that you want to pull your site from Free Basics at any time but because we may need to make product and marketing adjustments we may require up to 60 days from receipt of your notice to transition gracefully So they've right up front, they're saying here's how you get out. Don't read the rest! In order for your content to be proxied as described above your URLs may be rewritten and embedded content like JavaScript and content originating from other domains will be removed Your name and logo maybe included in Freebasics products screenshots of the service and press releases but we won't use your brand in larger marketing promotion without first asking your approval

2:38:03 Any data or reporting we provide is deemed Facebook confidential information and cannot be used by you for any advertising purposes or shared with third parties. What does that mean? It means they just own your content, you cannot get any information about it and any information you have cannot be used to sell to advertisers Developer participation on the FreeBasics platform, including the information submitted with your application is otherwise governed by our standard legal terms. By clicking submit below you confirm that you are authorized to read these terms etc., etc.. So what they're doing is they are taking your content removing all links just disconnecting it from the free and open web and putting it into FreeBasics and giving that to the stupid citizens of the world

2:38:53 They want to completely control everything. I think it's very, very smart tech savvy of India and Egypt to say no screw you there is no free lunch then they want to control everything and eat right down to what your content is. Of course they do! Yeah but its pretty egregious when you see what they really want to do Well if we got this...say we got approved what would happen? I would be very surprised as well what happened Why would you be surprised? I see no reason why they're going to allow a website that has heavy download available and talk shit about them. I see no reason why they would ever allow that Well, we don't really talk poorly...I mean besides the facebag complaints It seems as if- it's not like a stand We don't have a theme song for it Not yet! We do so much

2:39:56 But then again... It's face-bag blowback. Yeah, you're probably right if they actually listen to the show. Not that no one does. That's only Tom Waits, the only other guy listening to this show. Well at least he tried Tried what? Oh, well yeah. They say within seven days but I don't think it's gonna happen But I totally agree this is very very bad Why not just give people internet access with a web browser? We haven't done predictions You always get to do predictions Yeah I'll do a prediction Are going to die Phone apps

2:40:42 It has to go to the browser. There's a whole bunch of reasons for it, maybe we should do that next show and it may not happen in one year but I see the shift the open protocols and like the HTML5 protocols. Well, one of the... Okay let's stop, stop, stop, stop. I'm gonna give you some, I'm gonna start grilling ya now with this since no reason to do a vapid prediction without backing it up. What about the flashlight? Again, the thing is this flashlight that lights up my screen and then I go down the stairs. Why would that have to go to the browser?

2:41:20 I find that to be more... That's a hardware. It's the functionality of hardware, so it's not- What about the camera? Same thing? Same thing. It's hardware. What about the Magic 8 Ball? Here is why instead if you have some serious questions, we'll answer them. Those are questions! No, just name an app Yes, because I want to know why these apps need to go into the browser. The reason why is people don't update their apps it's very hard to deploy a new version... Oh it's also pain in the ass every time you start the phone up. I mean I only turn my phone off and on once in awhile but turn off... You have 50 apps that need updating! Why? Thank you for making my point so... Why do they need constant updating? Well if you look at how the internet and open protocols work

2:42:14 Everything is updated, but you don't need to do anything to update. So this is reason one. Reason two... The amount of storage that these apps are taking up is growing out of control. Memory's cheap! Okay! But people are running into trouble and ultimately the app ecosystem is limiting It is limiting in functionality. I would say the number one problem is the updates, people don't do the updates, functionality stays behind developers pull their hair out we got to develop there won't be enough money to create all apps for all the different platforms it's just an insane

2:43:04 Alright, I get it. We were centralized we went decentralized we're centralized It's going to come back that doesn't mean Facebook is gonna go away and I use Facebook on the browser I don't install the app for it. I think some obvious reasons and a bit but you know, it works reasonably well that way It's not like a big huge downer on functionality That's my prediction. It will have to go away from apps, it is unsustainable for developers... You can't build a plan if people aren't upgrading and you have to jack the storage? No! I think it's time for the pendulum to swing back

2:43:41 Okay, your prediction. I don't really have one But I can dream one up you wrote a nice article in PC magazine like that about the cloud which one the cloud? Well it cloud yeah, good art. I put it in the show notes even okay The clouds dead will make that prediction actually You know what other things is gonna be something Microsoft's gonna have to do something about their cloud It just doesn't work well. Just think it works and then it doesn't work. It's just like it's a very sketchy product Hold on, I gotta get an aspirin. You have to get an aspirin? I got a pounding headache! He has a pounding headache... Well he's off to get the aspirin. I will then lecture you about the gong whoever gave it to me now The gong comes with one of these little gongers It's this thing that you hold and you gong with it Doesn't happen often Now what's interesting is that the gong from downstairs has a different kind of a gonger And when I hit against this gong it barely doesn't really register as a softer sound Beautiful

2:44:53 How's that sound? It sounds like it's time to go is what it sounds. Sounds like you're getting rid of your headache. Yeah, that... Alright I'll do a prediction on the next show Okay! I have one last clip. I tell you the cloud is getting on my nerves The cloud has been on your nerves from day 1 Yeah well now its on my nerves So just say why Because it doesn't work as advertised All right, last news story from me. A Denver non-profit is trying to raise awareness about homelessness by passing out drugs The group Cannabis Can handed out hundreds of pre-rolled marijuana joints to homeless men and women This group says it's trying to get the people of Denver to pay more attention To the homeless in their community a lot of the people that we spoke with really were just like if I had a regular access to a shower and haircut

2:45:52 I my life would be so much better. I'd have so much more opportunity cannabis gets them there, but it's their idea under Colorado law It is illegal to smoke weed in public But it can still be given as a gift recipients must be 21 or older and no money can change hands Money changes hands legal Bullcrap but I have two clips okay I have the, this was a short clip. This is when i watched the McLaughlin report in it and they do their predictions for the next year. They have two shows of these. He nailed it! So he does his prediction on what's the most defining political moment

2:46:38 of the year, this is McLaughlin himself. And this cracked me up at play it. The most defining political moment President Obama's decision to skip the international rally in Paris after the massacre of the editorial staff at Charlie Hebdo magazine more than 40 world leaders attended the march drawing more than 3 million Parisians How is Mr. Hebdo doing after the attack? So he is apparently promoting the idea that there was actually, these guys were actually in front of a large march. We ran the photo with this newsletter... This was bullcrap! This was a photo op! He didn't even know that?! Apparently not or he wouldn't have presented it that way. I think a lot of people don't know it

2:47:20 That's why it was in the newsletter. I have the photo of the photo op It is a bunch of guys as a group which shot a certain way? I'm surprised that the news media even ran it because it was such a phony Setup, it was phony and maybe Obama didn't want to be involved in some bullcrap Didn't carry go into last minute no. I don't know who went somebody knows something Was it Kerry? Somebody were yeah Now, the last one is this was an interesting kind of news. It looks like and this is the way under the radar news it looks like we're going to keep people in Afghanistan forever because JSOC is gonna be headquartered there. JSOC is the joint forces operation what do you know? There's a kind

2:48:04 Joint Strike Force Group. White House is reportedly considering a Pentagon plan to maintain at least one base in Afghanistan, despite President Obama's initial pledge to withdraw most U.S. troops by the time he leaves office. In October, Obama reversed that plan saying 5500 troops would remain in Afghanistan through the end of his term as the Obama administration expands its use of special operations forces around The New York Times reports a proposal now under consideration would use a base in Afghanistan as a hub for special operations troops and intelligence operatives throughout Central and South Asia. Yeah, I'm reading that Campbell—General Campbell said, "'I want to keep as many troops here on the ground as possible,'' and does not rule out seeking additional forces."

2:48:54 Well, you know when they let that guy out of Gitmo that was going to take care of the problem. You can take that to the bank! At the very end there'll be a lot of posturing at the end of his presidency A lot of posturing and a couple like look what I did and then go off and do your big boys & girls billion dollar speeches and break it in and enjoy it in style Yeah, that's how it works best Alright everybody Another year. Happy New Year to everybody! And we mean that, happy new year to everybody Be safe Make smart choices and remember...
