00:00 Russia, Russia, Russia. Deconstructing nothing burgers for over a decade and broadcasting live from the darkest coins of the internet here in the capital of the drone star state in the Cluedio. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. The northern Silicon Valley, here I sit. It's raining out. I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Nothing like your twice a week weather report. It's always very important for the podcast. It was a shower. It's a little late in the season.

00:41 Well here we are John, it is Thursday and this is everyone's going non-stop commercial free uninterrupted ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC. How disappointed they will be? Yeah well it's pretty well known what he wrote in his memo is all he's gonna say. Yeah it's uh I listened to a little bit this morning what referring to uh former FBI director James Comey's testimony. He released his opening statement yesterday which even that was you know the the universes have never been so apparent and separate from each other. Now we both read this this opening statement and did you see anything egregious? No it didn't say anything actually.

01:31 It says he took notes. He didn't like Trump. Trump kept trying to have meetings with him I don't know Comey doesn't say it, but he could have said that Trump was hitting on him Well, I do have a few thoughts about it, but I wanted to read just some general responses on the face bags if you want all Well, I what I was gonna suggest is that What is this running thing that we've got on here where we actually have our what we're saying is coming through As words. I have a thing on my screen, which is your little Skype thing. You said yeah. And it's whatever I say, it's coming through as voice recognition. It's typing it.

02:23 Oh my god, you're right. I can see it. It says, I have a thing on my screen which is... and whatever it is I say, it's coming through as a... Wow! Is this a new Skype feature? Oh, I know what's happening! It is actually NSA and they've somehow looped it back, those fools. I think they made a mistake. This is great! Do not do anything. This is a free transcription service. Unfortunately, it's only your side. Do you see me coming through? Yeah. No, I've never seen that. And not only that, here's what's interesting about it. It's good. It's very good. My good... Well, also we're good speakers too. We're not like, you can't handle the... Okay, you can't handle the truth.

03:08 How did that, how did it translate? You can hand it, whoops, the problem is it scrolls off. Oh, no. So what's it, just to like... Well, truth. It says truth? I don't know, I'm trying to see. No, it says truth. Oh, so it actually fixes it. I had no idea this was taking place. Did anyone in the war room know this was happening with Skype? I mean, I don't know when it started. This is the first show where I've seen this. For sure. Now, we, I've got to videotape this because I've never seen this before. This must be some kind of... Where is it scrolling to? It's just scrolling up. You got to expand your window and then you can scroll back. I just got to take a video of this for a second. This is crazy. So I'm looking at John's Skype, which, interestingly enough, is actually a photo of Hillary Clinton. That is his avatar.

03:53 Now, let's just say something so I can have the scroll here. Yeah, testing 1, 2, 3 on the old scroll. And coming through on the chat message, there it is. Boom. That is outrageous. I have never... Where's it going to? Where's it being saved? Well, it's just, I don't know, the NSA. I mean, Sky... Alright. Well, enough of our amusement with the system. I'm very amused by that. Now, before we started with the face bag stuff, I thought I might want to play like the background. Oh, we can't do anything yet. We have to do a jingle. Call me, call me, call me, call me all the time. Call me. Woo! Didn't translate that. You said woo when you said woo.

04:41 Alright, I have the CBS had a whole number on this. They read from this transcript. I think they summarized it pretty good. This was the clip is Comey memo testimony one. Today fired FBI director James Comey previewed the testimony he will give the Senate Intelligence Committee tomorrow in its investigation of Russian meddling in the US election and whether anyone in the Trump campaign was involved. The committee released Comey's opening statement today in which he says the president pressured him to drop the FBI investigation of Mr. Trump's former national security advisor. Comey says Mr. Trump described the FBI's Russia investigation as a cloud and asked Comey what Comey could do to lift it.

05:31 The testimony based on Comey's notes also confirms that the president was not under investigation. Chief Congressional Correspondent Nancy Cordes begins our coverage. Comey's seven-page opening statement describes his conversations with the president in detail. Seven days after the inauguration, Comey says, the president invited me to dinner. It turned out to be just the two of us. My instincts told me that the one-on-one setting meant that the dinner was, at least in part, an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage relationship.

06:07 Sure enough, Comey says, the president said, I need loyalty. I expect loyalty. I didn't move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. We simply looked at each other in silence. He wanted to have dinner because he wanted to stay on. The president has claimed Comey proposed the dinner and denies that he demanded loyalty. Did you ask that question? No. No, I didn't. But I don't think it would be a bad question to ask. Their next encounter, Comey says, came three weeks later in the Oval Office at the end of a scheduled counterterrorism briefing. The president told the group that he wanted to speak to me alone. After the others left, the president began by saying, I want to talk about Mike Flynn, the national security advisor who had just been fired for lying to the vice president about his conversations with the Russian ambassador. Flynn is under scrutiny by the FBI.

07:03 Isn't there a little, isn't it true that Flynn resigned and wasn't fired? I mean, it's semantics. But it's changed from he resigned to he was fired. They're just kind of crossing the wires there. That's a good catch. I think this is all part of this... Yeah, I keep hearing he was fired, but I think he resigned under pressure, but he wasn't... I have a thing later in the show or probably during this segment. showing where CBS in particular pulls that stunt all the time. Yeah, it's nice. It's poor journalism. Ambassador Flynn is under scrutiny by the FBI, but Comey says the president told him, I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He's a good guy. I replied only he is a good guy.

07:55 The White House insists this is not a truthful and accurate portrayal of the conversation. But Comey says he found the meeting so concerning that he shared it with the FBI leadership team and decided to implore the Attorney General to prevent any future direct communication between the president and me. Yeah, he actually was they go on I got a part two if you want to play it well He makes a big I need to read you something real quick He's sick of being talked to by this guy hitting on him When you use Skype's translation features Skype collects and uses your conversation to help improve Microsoft products and services. How about that?

08:38 Well, one of the things we do know is that Microsoft, when LearnOut and Houseby went out of business, and this was discussed during that era, and it hasn't really been discussed. Who's LearnOut and Houseby? LearnOut and Houseby turned out to be a company that was kind of a Ponzi scheme, but they had bought up almost all the voice recognition systems available. And they made this juggernaut of voice recognition. And then somehow, because Microsoft had a piece of the action when they went bankrupt, Microsoft ended up with all these technologies and they sat on them for years. I mean, this is, we're talking 10 years here. And everybody in the voice recognition business was always mumbling under their breath that if any, if Microsoft

09:21 ever decided to get into voice recognition in a serious way as opposed to the kind of the way they have a little microphone at the bottom and you do a voice recognition and I mean there's some aspects of voice recognition in Windows 10 but it's always been believed that they could do serious voice recognition that you just blow IBM away if they wanted to and I think that's what we're looking at. Apparently this also does translations okay so let me try something I'm speaking Dutch now and I'm trying to figure out if Skype translates this into English so my best friend John can hear it all. What you say, you're halfway through with your head.

10:15 Like you and Bane's elf magic opened older helped legless grammar nailed it Okay, onward with Comey 2. And yet a month and a half later, quote, the president called me at the FBI. He described the Russia investigation as a cloud that was impairing his ability to act on behalf of the country. He said he had nothing to do with Russia, had not been involved with hookers in Russia, a reference to an allegation made in an unsubstantial. And I can just hear him saying, I didn't know hookers. A dossier put together by a former British spy.

10:51 Comey says the president asked what we could do to lift the cloud. Comey reassured Mr. Trump that he was not personally under investigation. The president, Comey says, repeatedly told me we need to get that fact out, calling again 12 days later to ask what I had done about his request, adding, because I have been very loyal to you. Very loyal. We had that thing, you know? Comey says I did not reply or ask him what he meant by that thing. Oh, man I wish we had recordings and and contemporaneous notes from all of our presidents I'm pretty sure people will be very shocked about things that presidents say I mean Johnson was well known for sitting there taking a dump and making everyone stand outside the smelly bathroom door Yeah, he was terrible horrible people

11:42 Nixon was well recorded, but this thing kind of got my attention because it was like Comey didn't know how to react to it. I'm wondering what Trump was referring to. I haven't thought about that. Good. Because I read this memo and I saw something different. I'm sorry. First, I just have to play. I have to give you a couple responses. So these are former colleagues of mine at MTV and And they're posting on Facebag this morning stuff like, did I miss anything? I had to be... Did I miss anything? I mean people are... They think that this is it. You know, this is the explosion. This is... It's all gonna take place. It's gonna happen. It's gonna get impeached. And the same... And may I ask you, I mean, it's not like a live sporting event. Yeah, it is. Do they know that you can... I guess it is to them, but do they know you can actually just go look at this on C-SPAN anytime you want to?

12:46 Probably not. No, I would say the majority is just watching probably CNN. No, CBS is playing it. Yeah, everyone's NBC, ABC, MSNBC is probably what they're watching. So they read the same notes, memo, contemporaneous notes that we read. Their response, blatant coercion. I need to share. Wow! It's really like reading a weird fairy tale. Trump thinks he can just be the king in his storybook fantasy. It's just bizarre. Yeah, crazy town, Nina. Also damn surreal. Crazier still, the Congress won't do its job. If he doesn't get impeached after this, I'd give up. To which I posted, please!

13:39 I didn't because if I do that I'd be kicked out of there. I mean I've already been kicked out of MTV anything and they we have an alumni group. And heaven forbid you get kicked out of the face bags. No, then we'll have nothing. But here's how I read this. I'm just reading directly from the memo and these two paragraphs are right after each other. January 6 briefing. I first met then President-elect Trump on Friday, January 6 in a conference room at Trump Tower in New York. So he was the elect president, he was not in office yet. I was there with other intelligence community leaders to brief him on his new national security team on the findings of an IC assessment concerning Russian efforts to interfere in the election. At the conclusion of that briefing, I remained alone with the President-elect to brief him on some personally sensitive aspects of the information assembled during the assessment.

14:32 And then we have a couple paragraphs about this intelligence report that has the hookers urinating on the bed or on him or whatever it is. It was on the bed, and it was specifically on the bed that Obama and Michelle supposedly slept in. Thank you for reminding us of that salacious detail. So he goes through that, and then right after that, the next paragraph, It is important to understand that FBI counterintelligence investigations are different than the more commonly known criminal investigative work. The Bureau's goal in counterintelligence investigation is to understand the technical and human methods that hostile foreign powers are using to influence the United States or steal our secrets. The FBI uses that understanding to disrupt those efforts. Sometimes disruption takes the form of alerting a person who is targeted for recruitment or influenced by the foreign power. Sometimes it involves hardening a computer system that's being attacked.

15:28 Sometimes it involves turning the recruited person into a double agent or publicly calling out the behavior with sanctions or expulsions of embassy-based intelligence officers. On occasion, criminal prosecution is used to disrupt intelligence activities. And then if you continue to read, I have a feeling that this started off with Comey going to Trump saying, Oh, look what we have. What are we going to do about this? I mean, why else does he have to put in his opening statement here what the FBI does? They blackmail people is what they do. It may be very possible, just two split universes, that Trump was sitting there going, what are you trying to blackmail me, Comey? What are you doing? I can see that. Hey man, I got this report. It's not really confirmed. We don't really know anything. But yeah, you know, you're going to be president. Yeah. We don't know the nuance of what happened.

16:22 But I have a feeling Trump might have felt threatened by that. Well, the problem... that's interesting. I mean, I can't discount it. I mean, we don't know any context of any of this stuff, obviously. But to me, it was like, you know... All we're doing is analyzing what's placed before us in a very objective manner. So, I, you know, I'm like, well, I don't know, man. So, when he refers to that thing, it could be anything. It could have been that thing where they had dinner. It could have been, but this is when Comey was coming in. I'm sure he was, you know, big man on campus still. And, you know, I know, I'm just saying. He's definitely the tallest guy around. No kidding. So, I just had a different vibe about that, that there was something else that was going on.

17:17 From Trump's perspective, and you know a guy who talks to people in the manner of, you know, I need loyalty, honesty, loyalty. You know, that kind of guy could have his, you know, could have his the hairs on the back of his neck rise up when Director of FBI comes in and says, well, we got this thing man, you into hookers. And that comes up, you know, again and again. And why? It's possible. Yeah? I mean, it's not without, it's not completely crazy. No. Unlike what you read from the face bags. Wait, wait, wait. You think the face bag is crazy? Listen to Chris O'Donnell. Today, June 5th. I mean, what's his name? Is it Chris O'Donnell? No. It's not Chris. It's Larry. Larry O'Donnell. Lawrence. Yeah, Larry. Today, June 5th, 2017, 2017, just might live in history.

18:12 as the day that President Trump made the decision that destroyed his presidency. We're going to show you how that decision was announced today. The video you're about to see might be the video that we're showing you years from now, when we're pinpointing the beginning. Maybe it's because he's not worried about the testimony.

18:55 Oh, what a fool. He's not all the all the wow that's actually a that's a big one I'll take it if you want to hand it out. I mean, I'll give you a borderline. I think there's better to go I say that is because I I'm not monitoring that network and I That is just delusional. Correct. I mean, and the thing that bothers me about it the most is it makes all sorts of assumptions. And the base assumption behind what he just said is that Donald Trump is guilty and should be impeached immediately for crimes against the country.

19:32 Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Because that's what the assumptions are. He fired the guy and he was fired him because he was trying to, you know, obstruct justice. Obstruction of justice. And now he's too stupid to tell him to shut up. Well, let's have it makes all sorts of assumptions. Let's go to sadly. I mean, it's Nancy Pelosi, always sad to listen to even sadder when she's on The View. But listen to the same mentality from Joy Behar. So let's talk about this Thursday because former FBI Director Comey is about to testify publicly to the Senate Investigation Committee and he's expected to say that basically Trump pressured him to end his investigation into Russia, which sounds like obstruction of justice. Is this a serious bombshell and is it grounds for impeachment?

20:18 You knew she'd get to that word. She's hopeful. When that word comes up, I always say to my colleagues in the Congress and my constituents and people across the country, what I said before anything you do has to be based on data evidence facts so you can speculate but it's got to be the law and the facts and how they match up. But Trump will

20:54 That is truly delusional. No idea how anything works if you say those things. That's Pelosi now grabbing the woke meme. Unbelievable. That's the way it goes. You know, these people, the Democrats in this case and the Liberals that are trying to do, in my theory, this is my basic theory, they're trying to do all this to maintain a heightened sense of he should be impeached, just to keep this thing, Russia's involved, they're trying to ruin our country.

21:53 They're just trying to maintain this. Maintain it. Oh, I agree. I agree. For two years until 2018 and then again they say, well, here's what we have to do to get these to fix things. But in the process of maintaining it, they're creating, I think, a sickness. Really, and it's going to be a huge problem for them because they're going to make their own people, the people that would be voting for them, not want to come out to vote because they'll give up on the country. They'll be, you know, taking, I think, the recent situation in Ohio with all the heroin deaths or heroin, whatever it is they're using. And we have some overdose stories in today's show. I think as a result of this, I think these people are hurting the country. There's another problem. Where's helping the guy succeed? That's what happened when Obama got in. He wouldn't have any experience as a president. Why are you even asking this? Just dumb. There's another problem with

22:52 this contemporaneous note turns memo. The February 14th Oval Office meeting, let me see, the FBI leadership team agreed with me it was important not to infect the investigative team with the president's request, and that was the removal of the cloud. We also concluded that given that it was a one-on-one conversation, there was nothing available to corroborate my account. And here comes. We concluded it made little sense to report it to Attorney General Sessions, who we expected would likely recuse himself from involvement in Russia-related investigations. And this is actually the drop the investigation of Flynn. But if you look at the timeline, so that's February 14th. February 8th, Sessions was confirmed.

23:44 Then the 14th is this meeting where then right after, after the contemporaneous notes taken in the FBI vehicle, on the FBI laptop, Comey and FBI leadership decide, you know, we don't, let's not give that to Sessions because he's going to recuse himself. The problem is, as far as I know, the first time Sessions and Kislyak controversy came up, was almost, was two weeks later, March 1st. No one knew about this. It was certainly, well maybe, maybe FBI knows everything. But it was not public knowledge that he, that there was, it was the controversy hadn't even started yet. Well again, it's about Flynn and perhaps he thought that just because Sessions just got in the job and he was just appointed by Trump that he would recuse himself for that reason. Well but then he already knew there were Russia related issues with Sessions.

24:45 Which didn't break until two weeks later. Okay. There's just some missing bits and bobs here. It doesn't really matter, because it's not going to say anything that's going to make a damn difference. No, he's going to say what's in the memo. He's going to say... He's going to repeat it over and over. He'll be cute. He'll be funny. He'll be nice. He's not going to be that funny. I heard him making some jokes already. Oh, I had to break a date with my wife to have dinner with the president. But you know, that's a pretty good excuse. He's not going to say much of anything. He's going to be screamed at by the Democrats are going to make a big scene at the hearing. We've seen all these hearings and I'm watching hearings for five, six, seven, eight, nine years, almost 10. And you know what happened? Then they come out and Kamala Harris, by the way, is the latest phony that goes up there and makes a big scene when she gets her asked questions. Never really asking any questions, just making kind of mini speeches. And he's not going to say anything about anything that's not in that memo.

25:47 And he's gonna defer to Mueller. He's gonna say, well, you know, there's certain things we can't do because Mueller's doing this investigation. We can't, we can't tarnish that. And so they're gonna get nothing out of this. And then all these people like Joy Behar and everybody else or Lawrence O'Donnell are all going to be very disappointed. They're gonna start, they're gonna start attacking Comey. I was just gonna say, since we really don't know at this point, exactly what's going to happen. I think more interesting is what will the response be when the inevitable is that just really don't have anything or what do they say? No there there? No there there. No there there. Hey, check this out. Jeopardy question. Ready? Talk of the town 800. She wrote of Oakland, California, there is no there there. And that would be Gertrude Stein. See, I would have won Jeopardy.

26:41 Why? Because I knew the answer to that question. There's no there there. No one else knows this, only you know this stuff. No, no, everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially those people who live in San Francisco, all know this. I can assure you. They all hate Oakland and they love pulling that quote out. Oh man. Yeah, so I really, I don't have much else because, you know, other than... Well, let's see, I got a couple of things. Comey is being sued by the way. By whom? Let's see. Former US intelligence contractor and other current and ex-government officials alleging the Bureau has covered up evidence provided to agents showing widespread illegal spying on Americans. This is kind of being snowed under, this lawsuit. I want to know more. Filed late Monday night, was assigned to the same federal judge who has already ruled that some of the National Security Agency's collection of data on Americans violates the US Constitution's Fourth Amendment, etc., etc.

27:45 This is from the new outfit, Circa. You know, that's all of a sudden they're the... Didn't we already talk about them? They're part of the TV network, the Republican thing, the right wing. In passing, we have not really talked about them. Oh, they're good. Whatever they're doing, they're getting their message out for sure. Very interesting outfit, this Circa news. We have to keep an eye on them. Well, we have a couple... The thing that CBS did, Scott Kelly's back. I don't know if he's yeah, yeah, all the rumors everything I thought he was out for good, but no he's back and

28:23 And of course the news, he is the guy. I didn't realize how powerful he was. The whole temperament, the entire tenor, everything about CBS News when he's back is outrageously anti-Trump to the point where it is, so he's the guy, he's the demand, he's the go-to guy for being the, he's the hit man. So he comes in there and everything turns sour. And I've got an example in this particular report that you played the clips from. It continues on with your buddy Jeff Pagais. The guy sounds like he's just about to take a dump. That is my buddy.

27:45 This is from the new outfit, Circa. You know, that's all of a sudden they're the... Didn't we already talk about them? They're part of the TV network, the Republican thing, the right wing. In passing, we have not really talked about them. Oh, they're good. Whatever they're doing, they're getting their message out for sure. Very interesting outfit, this Circa news. We have to keep an eye on them. Well, we have a couple... The thing that CBS did, Scott Kelly's back. I don't know if he's yeah, yeah, all the rumors everything I thought he was out for good, but no he's back and

28:23 And of course the news, he is the guy. I didn't realize how powerful he was. The whole temperament, the entire tenor, everything about CBS News when he's back is outrageously anti-Trump to the point where it is, so he's the guy, he's the demand, he's the go-to guy for being the, he's the hit man. So he comes in there and everything turns sour. And I've got an example in this particular report that you played the clips from. It continues on with your buddy Jeff Pagais. The guy sounds like he's just about to take a dump. That is my buddy.

29:08 So it goes on to talking about Russia and as though it's all part of the same thing. There's lots of innuendo but this is the thing. This is CBS last hit job on Russia investigation. One, and then there's a thing that happens in here that just really, really, really got my goat. A gaze who's been following the Russia investigation from the start. Was that it? Because I had taken issue with that.

29:53 That was one of them, but that's not the one I'm gonna handshake. Oh, don't shake his hand because it'll it ruins the independence the time the bureau was nearly six months into a counterintelligence investigation of Russian meddling in the election and the evidence was mounting on March 20th at a congressional hearing Comey confirmed the probe that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts. Among those under scrutiny, fired National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former campaign advisor Carter Page, and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The entire thing has been a witch hunt. The president has consistently dismissed the Russia investigation, but just as Comey alleges Mr. Trump pressured him over the investigation,

30:51 Sources also say he made similar requests of the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and the director of the NSA, Michael Rogers. I don't believe it's appropriate for me to address that in a public session. Now, if you back that up a little bit, actually it plays again in the second half of the clip. He said, back that up about, I don't know, 15 seconds so you hear what his assertion is followed by It starts with sources. Yes, the illustrious sources. ...dismissed the Russia investigation, but just as Comey alleges Mr. Trump pressured him over the investigation, sources also say he made similar requests of the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and the director of the NSA, Michael Rogers. I don't believe it's appropriate for me to address that in a public session.

31:50 That was very tricky editing because that's not exactly how it went down. That's not exactly. It's not how it went down at all. Yeah. He says that they pressured him, they pressured Coates, which who was the guy who talked? They said they said the exact opposite, didn't they? Well, no. Yes, they did. In fact, in the next clip he will say the opposite, but they just let that slide because he's obviously, it's the guy who was the NSA guy who said the exact opposite. But they let that slide because obviously the NSA guy's a liar, but their sources have got something going on. Now, he says the sources said that these guys were also pressured by Trump.

32:27 And then they cut to Coates at the end of the clip you just played, and Coates says, I don't think it's appropriate to say what we talked about when I talked with the president. It's not what we do. And they made it sound as though that had something to do with what the assertion was that the sources said. But in fact, that was a question about conversations, just general conversations with Trump that was asked by one of the Democrats on the panel. It was taken completely out of context. Sources also say he made similar requests of the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and the director of the NSA, Michael Rogers. I don't believe it's appropriate for me to address that in a public session. Today, neither would answer questions about their interactions with the president, but they denied any outside influence. To the best of my recollection, I have never been directed to do anything I believe to be illegal

31:50 That was very tricky editing because that's not exactly how it went down. That's not exactly. It's not how it went down at all. Yeah. He says that they pressured him, they pressured Coates, which who was the guy who talked? They said they said the exact opposite, didn't they? Well, no. Yes, they did. In fact, in the next clip he will say the opposite, but they just let that slide because he's obviously, it's the guy who was the NSA guy who said the exact opposite. But they let that slide because obviously the NSA guy's a liar, but their sources have got something going on. Now, he says the sources said that these guys were also pressured by Trump.

To the best of my recollection, I have never been directed to do anything I believe to be illegal

33:22 immoral, unethical or inappropriate. On May 9th, the president abruptly fired Comey, who was in the FBI's Los Angeles office at the time and learned about it on television. The White House initially said Comey was fired for his handling of the Clinton email investigation, but later the president made clear it was about Russia. In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. Shortly after the president tweeted a threat, James Comey... That is not a correct attribution either.

33:59 Let me just hear it again. He makes this, he goes on and says, well Trump said it was about the Hillary things, but he made it clear. And he doesn't make it clear at all. He's just rambling about something like he normally does. And the other clip that was earlier in this little sequence where the guy, the head of the NSA goes, I wouldn't, no. flat out denied it but they just glossed it right over and kept going. This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story. Shortly after the president tweeted a threat, James Comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. Before we started the show I heard- Out of context by the way. Yes. Again. I heard Comey say, I hope the president has tapes. I'm in, he says. I'm all in. Release them. Because he knows there's nothing bad on there.

34:59 If there's a tape. And of course it's recorded by some agency somewhere. Yeah. But this report, this is one of the worst egregious CBS reports with just slopping a bunch of different fact toys together to develop a narrative that's not true. for the purposes of exciting their audience. And I just think, and it's very apparent when Scott Pelley's around that this goes on to an extreme. When the other guys are there hosting the show, and when you're the anchor supposedly of these news shows on these networks, you're the editor-in-chief.

35:38 You're not just the guy that's just, you're not just a meat puppet reading copy that somebody else writes. You are in charge of the direction of the show. And it's obvious to me that Pelly, maybe I'm almost thinking now that they were gonna, CBS wanted to move Pelly out of there and bring in some other guys and then some agency perhaps that begins with a C said no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, this guy is back in. You're right. There's got to be some inside dirt on that. Well, we'll see. I don't even have to look at the testimony to know things are going well for the president because the Dow was up 80 points, so I'm sure... That's how you gauge it. That's how you gauge it. In this day and age, yes, the Dow goes up. Things are good. We're all good. I think if you start monitoring face bag, it probably gets better material than the Dow. It's a lot funnier, that's for sure.

36:37 I just love the people who are just freaking out. I mean, well I don't, I mean I find it incredibly sad, really. Incredibly sad. Um... Jeez. Wanna do a quick scan? Then we can be kind of done with it. Let me see. Angus King and Comey both quote Henry II from 1170. Who will rid me of this troublesome priest? Do you think the current president could vote- could quote Henry II? Do you think the current president could even quote Henry Winkler? That's pretty good actually. Let me see. Did anyone just watch? Yeah, I'm just reading straight from my feed. Did anyone just watch the questioning from Senator John McCain? Did that make sense to anyone? My mouth dropped open. I'm still shaking my head trying to make sense of anything he just said. Confused and addled. Very disturbing. Let's see, what else do we have? This is great. Let me see, there's the professor. Is he saying anything? No. He's talking about sexual behavior of flies. Okay, that's great.

37:39 I'm surprised the Republicans didn't go after Comey about him having a friend leak a story to the press. Sounds like a major strike against him, although it wouldn't affect the outcome. Oh my goodness. Oh, this is my favorite. This is what the GOP exemplifies. Ideology is more important than honesty, integrity, and country. If the Russians and pussy-grabbing liars can deliver the goods, then country be damned. This is evil. They believe their social and political ideologies is worth any cost, even a pact with the devil. They claim the moral high ground while selling these United States to dictators and creating fodder for terrorists. They are scum. That's a 66-year-old woman right there.

38:19 She is and she would probably never defend the country in a million years and most of these people are she's from Cali She's from California. She's good at community theater, California I'm not kidding. Move to Austin to get away from the... well I mean there's a lot of... Austin's just as bad. That's what I'm saying, she's in Austin. Oh she's in Austin? Oh okay. Well she's from California and moved to Austin. This is what we've been infected with here. Yeah well, hey. It's funny.

38:58 We're already infected with that. And I see here is someone I know in Amsterdam, she's holding up an American flag coffee mug in one hand, a Stolignaya bottle of Russian vodka in her other hand, and Comey on the TV in the background, watching Comey in Amsterdam, serving the appropriate beverage cloaked in the appropriate vessel. You people are scum. These are the scum. These are the idiots. Please don't unfriend me. You would ruin my life. Anyway, so let's talk about this leaker for a second because that's that was and I do have the background on her also on CBS Jeez surprise surprise and It would yeah That was actually probably written that this I wanted this leaker thing is a very Sketchy and no shit. This is John hold on a second first of all let's just talk about the document itself and

39:55 which includes a slide showing with little beautiful circles and squares and arrows how information was passed from the DRU and then they did a spear fishing expedition and then they flipped it backwards and threw that arrow and then, oh wait a minute, let's double around the loop. Yes, and there it is in WikiLeaks. It was a total no proof, no evidence Just a story and can I ask you just a simple question because I've been just been baffling me The the documents sent to the intercept which were supposedly stolen Which is something which is something you have warned us about on this very show for a decade. I

40:43 about the yellow dots. Yes, I have, but that's the irony of that is if when you start looking into it, they actually took a photo of the documents which would not reveal those dots. So that's bullcrap. No, well, what they said is they said it was a really high quality scan, which I think is a cover up for exactly what you're saying, that that probably wouldn't work. Anyway, all this Everything I saw that came out of the intercept appeared to show redacted documents. Yes, because the way they do it at the intercept the same way it went with with Snowden initially and this is why we were always laughing about it's like you get the documents in they call up their buddies there at the whatever agency and say hey What do you think of this? Anything we need to take out anything you don't like?

41:33 And then they say, okay, we don't like that. You can just take those names off. Okay, good to go. You can go, you can go ahead and you can go publish it. No problem. What they then subsequently did, they really, if you know, their source, you know, oh, we always protect our sources. They kind of did not protect their source. No, at all. No, they even said where she lived. And then here's the, I mean, so I'm, when I saw this, when I saw the document, that's really what it was about. When I saw the document, this is bull crap. This is dropped to show that there's some, there's two Russians that were, you know, wiretapped, whatever. They just pulled the, the digital recording like they'll do from the Skype interview, this Skype thing one day. And that's how they got the names. The names were redacted. They just wanted to get that out and just, you know, and then this,

42:26 When you get this woman whose name is Reality Winner, I mean, are you just gonna throw it in my face and stomp on it? I'm not an idiot. I'm not. It's like naming your kid Theodore or something. It's crazy. The adorable. T-dog. Now if you, when you try to find any of her tweets, she's either somebody who erases her old tweets. Oh, the tweets that I've seen if they're real. But there's also direction, there's a lot of misdirection because her real Twitter name is Sarah. Yes. So you go find the old Sarah feed, Sarah Winner, which is a real name. I think the rest of this is nonsense. This is the sketchiest and every picture of her is exactly the same. She's got this look, she's got that

43:13 uh, like the sorority reject kind of, you know, 25 John's 25. I got shirts older than this girl and she has a, and she has a top secret security clearance and can walk around and can be tweeting how much he hates the president. I mean, it's a man. How many people have security clear? It's like 3 million. Yeah, there's fun. There's a lot. But anyway, she's, yeah, she's going around supposedly doing hate tweets and I, this thing just stinks. And it doesn't do the intercept any good to let her get, however this came down, maybe with a complete set up in every way, to let her get busted like this. What kind of operation? No one's going to give them documents. No way. Here I have five facts we need to know. Hold on. Five facts about Reality Winner. This is always good. I think this is from heavy.com.

44:08 So let's see. Fact number one, she served in the Air Force and received a military commendation last year. Okay. What is fact number two? Search warrant said the FBI was tipped off by her email exchange with a podcast. This was probably my favorite. Busted by a podcast. That's sad. Yeah, it doesn't say. According to a search warrant obtained by Heavy, a special agent with FBI received information, the winner was possessed and willfully sent classified information that was believed to result in damage to national security, the agency received the tip from the news outlet that received the document on May 30th, that's Intercept, saying it may have received classified information. The court document said the reporting was dated by the NSA as May 5th. After launching an investigation, they found that Winner was one of six people who had access to the document in question on her computer since it was published internally.

45:02 When investigating those six people, authorities found out that Wynner had email contact with the news outlet on March 30th and then again March 31st from her personal Gmail account. So smart. In that email, Wynner asked for transcripts of a specific podcast and a second email confirmed that she had subscribed to the podcast. The No Agenda Show is a... I bet you it was the Intercept podcast. It probably was. Yeah. But nice, and you know, it only took us 15 years with podcasts now responsible for taking down a president. Congratulations. Very good. I know, I'm so proud. Well, a few things there for someone who's working in security at all to be using a Gmail account to do any of this is one giveaway because it seems to me what you want. There's plenty of ways. I mean, I'm not

45:52 There's plenty of ways around it. There's public libraries, there's anonymous accounts that you can create on more than just Gmail. I mean, why use the obvious? We know that they're very closely connected to the CIA, probably the NSA too. I mean, duh. Let's put it this way. If this type of person has this kind of clearance and is conducting this type of business and acting in this manner, we have a very serious problem. in our system. We've had guys that had some clue that they went on for years as spies and they've been given, usually with the Russians, selling stuff to the Russians, a number of stories about these characters and they, you know, the CIA could never catch them. They took the lie detector test and went on and on with dead drops and all the rest. And now if it's going to be

46:45 If these people are so... Maybe they just dumbed down the public for this reason. They're sick, no John, they're sick. No, they're sick. They have been made sick. She totally... I think for whatever, however this happened to her, it probably wasn't hard to coerce her or to push her and nudge her along because this is exactly the type of person that has this anger and this severe disappointment and really just It's hatred, hatred. Hillbots, yeah. Forget hillbots, it's hatred. They've been turned into hating flesh. It's very disappointing and it's very destructive and yeah, you can't have this going on. Very destructive. Yeah. Well, that's why we're here to... Well, it doesn't bode well for the country and it's getting these people for the sole purpose of getting more Democrats elected in 2018. Which truly is what it's about. For the sole purpose of that, they are encouraging this.

47:41 By the way, do you think that Anderson Pooper picture of hers is real? From Reality Winner? No. I don't think so either. I think that's total scam. I liked it though. I like the picture. The fact that Anderson Pooper took a picture like that of himself at all, staring off into the distance. But that picture is real. The picture is real, but I don't know if it was actually in her office. And why doesn't he address it? I've been waiting for him to say something. I don't know. Because we know he was he was CIA. We know he worked there. It's not a secret. He uh... No, it's not a secret at all. It's a known fact. It's in his bio. And on the picture if it's not photoshopped, I don't know. Reality, thank you for your service. Love, Anderson. And he's standing there like Red Adair. Looking at the fire in the distance. Anderson will take care of it.

48:32 The great that would if you haven't seen this picture anyone listen, so it was in the last newsletter guys fantastic and you should unsubscribe to the newsletter because a lot of sales pitches going because we you know we ask for Contributions to support the show which is one of the reasons the newsletters done But the newsletters got a lot of good stuff in it. Yeah, but everyone's well I always get irk when people just act and subscribe and then they and Well, some real work goes into it. There's three, four people involved in every newsletter, mainly you writing it. Then you send it out and we all send back comments and try and catch stuff and suggestions and then you're picking. I mean, it's a real job. It takes you a couple hours, I'm sure, to do a newsletter.

49:15 It takes about three hours to do that newsletter. But I'm collecting stuff for it, so it probably adds another hour or two. Because during the week I'll see, oh this has got to go in the newsletter. Or people will say, oh you should put this in the newsletter. And it's usually photos or some sort of something funny. I try to keep it light. Anyway, so I presume if there's anything interesting that the War Room or noagendasocial.com will let us know. But I'm not expecting anything earth shattering at all. There's something very pathetic about Reality Winner, if that is indeed her real name. We've seen no documentation, because it used to be Sarah. What happened? Where'd that name go? So we do have the one thing going on, just a little side here, we have the cutter action, but

50:09 Have you noticed that Al Gore has been floating around a lot? Do you want to get into it? I mean we can totally, I got a lot of Agenda 2030 stuff including Al Gore. Now you have a clip? Yeah, I do have an Al Gore clip. Why don't you play this Al Gore clip? Okay, hold on. Our air, our water, our earth, the very soil itself, our food, our bodies poisoned! Poisoned! What? That's not Al Gore. Okay, you got me. Oh, I'm sorry. I got that clip mixed up with the thing in the Twin Peaks show. All right, hold on, hold on. I have, let's do a little, a little Agenda 2030 global climate change. First we'll do all the crazy and then we'll do something kind of half intelligent. What I liked a lot about the Trump-Paris pullout was France's president, Macron.

51:07 His response was very interesting. And he's very wrong about what he's saying, because he needs to check out some of the regulations and the rules. But he pretty much invited every disillusioned American, certainly if you're in the climate global warming research field, to come to France. You know, I understand. Free? Well, listen. Tonight, I wish to tell the United States France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history. To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs... I love engineers. Engineers, entrepreneurs, apprentineurs... Apprentineurs, engineers with your vaginas. To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs,

52:02 It's just funny and gyneers. I'm gonna say that I'm Adam curry. I'm a social engineer and gyneers entrepreneurs Responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States I want to say that they will find in France the second homeland I call them A second homeland, John. France can be our second homeland. Can we get a... does that mean we get a passport? A French passport? No. Here's the thing... What? Here's the thing... These are false promises, boo! Let me tell you something. You can't just immigrate to the EU. France has no control over that. There's EU regulations, Mr. President. You don't determine who can come in anymore. You can't just invite anybody.

52:55 That's not how it works anymore. Go read the regulations. I call on them. Come and work here with us. You want a work permit? Really? I can't get a work permit. I can't get a permit. The only way I could stay in the EU legally is because my daughter has dual nationality. But I still would have to go through a whole rigmarole. You cannot do this. So, liar, liar, pants on fire. Here with us. to work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you France will not give up the fight. Yes, vive le climat! It will not do it. Vive la temperature! Okay, so we're all invited to go party in France. Al Gore as you mentioned is out and about and

53:48 And he is just doing the same thing. Well, we lost a lot of time when the US did not join the rest of the world community then. And while it is true that we have this sustainability revolution underway, and it's very exciting, it has the magnitude of the industrial revolution but the speed of the digital revolution. But we're still not changing fast enough. Because the it's not just the scientific community warning us now It's mother nature every night on the TV news is like a nature hike through the book of Revelation 70% of Florida's in drought right now miss fish. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're in drought Do we have fish on the street? Which one is it? I'm any percent of Florida's in drought

54:30 right now. Missouri just declared an emergency with another one of these historic climate-related downpours. We've had 11 once-in-a-thousand-year downpours in less than 10 years. 11 once-in-a-thousand-year downpours? You can hear this one coming back at you. Downpours in less than 10 years in the United States. So we have to move faster. You know, right now as we speak, this drought in Florida, according to Horowitz, who's been posting on Twitter, it's just being, they're being flooded. Not from ocean rising either. Yeah, it's been, they expect it to rain until the end of next week. It's insane. Well, here's Chris Wallace from the Fox News.

55:17 calling out Al Gore on his failed predictions. the world would reach a point of no return within ten years and you called it a true planetary emergency. Where eleven years later... No. Weren't you wrong? Well, we have seen a decline in emissions for the first... on a global basis. For the first time they've stabilized and started to decline. So some of the responses of the last ten years have helped. But unfortunately and regrettably a lot of serious damage has been done.

56:01 Greenland for example is losing one cubic kilometer of ice per second every single day. I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean. FISH! Hashtag FISH! Swimming in the streets. The fish were swimming in the street at high tide. How can they have homeless in Miami when you can eat so cheaply? Someone sent me a pretty good article about the fish. Yeah, I mean this is a hashtag Miami fish. Miami fish. Yeah. This is from producer Aaron. Listen to your Sunday show, just listen to the mayor of Miami. The reason Miami and every other town in America is having flood problems is because they have not controlled their rainwater runoff. Over the last 50 plus years, these towns have failed to take into account all of the hard surfaces, parking lots, buildings, etc. that no longer allows rain to naturally be absorbed into soils.

56:52 and instead has rerouted all of it to the waterways, and then they restricted the flow of these waterways with bridges that didn't account for the extra water. That is why, and I have these documents in the show notes, FEMA is redoing their flood maps, and insurance companies are now forcing homeowners to have flood insurance on properties that have never been flooded before. It's about... I mean, it's... I'm not an engineer, but it's arguable that that is what is happening. But okay, we have fish swimming in the streets. Thank you, Al. example is losing one cubic kilometer of ice every single day. I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day. On a sunny day is my favorite part. It was a sunny day and there was fish! And I said, hey fish, how you doing fish? The same thing was true in Honolulu just two days ago, just from high tides because of the sea level rise now. John, check out the look out the window for me. How's it doing there in California?

57:48 It's actually really low, there's so much mud flats I can almost see to the Costco. We are going to suffer some of these consequences, but we can limit and avoid the most catastrophic consequences if we accelerate the pace of change that's now beginning. Okay, so Al is still on the same track. Doesn't really answer the question other than, hey, I guess we're doing a pretty good job, but it's still, we're all gonna die, Book of Revelations. Now this is next clip. Um, we played the original long video from this guy. People, he's cropped up again. I'm very happy, but you know, people don't really know. A lot of people are new to this show. So there's a new piece of video or that I want to play. Yeah. This is John Coleman, the founder. I don't know why Coleman's out and about the way he is, but he's, well, why not? He did a definitive piece some time ago that was, I guess it's been kind of

58:43 Over the years I think things decay on YouTube and they go you can't find them or something. I don't know It's pretty easy to find but he was on with Brian Seltzer from CNN, that's the media guy. Yeah, any any in the I unfortunately don't have this but in the intro He's like Oh climate denier etc. And then he brings on you know co-founded that all this fake news wrong information about Coleman and Coleman calls him out on it and just lays down some facts, I think. I resent you calling me a denier. That is a word meant to put me down. I'm a skeptic about climate change.

59:19 And I want to make it darn clear, Mr. Kennedy is not a scientist. I am. He's the CEO of the Weather Channel now. I was the founder of the Weather Channel, not the co-founder. And I'm glad you did because I am addicted to the Weather Channel. I watch a lot of cable news. Stop talking now. Hold on just a minute. I'm not done. Wow. I love the way they tell me, I love the way- Shut up! I'm not talking now, hold on just a minute, I'm not done. That's apparently how you do it. Hold on, hold on a minute, I'm talking. You gotta talk to people like children today, it's insane. Hold on just a minute, I'm not done. And CNN has taken a very strong position on global warming that is, that it is a consensus. Well there is no consensus in science. Science isn't a vote.

1:00:01 Science is about facts. And if you get down to the hard, cold facts... There's no question about it. Climate change is not happening. There is no significant man-made global warming now. There hasn't been any in the past and there's no reason to expect any in the future. There's a whole lot of baloney and yes, it has become a big political point of the Democratic Party and part of their platform and I regret it's become political instead of scientific. But the science is on my side. I don't think we're gonna come to the conclusion about the topic right here what I do want to Allow it to happen on CNN To your viewers hello everybody what I do is no global warming

1:00:48 What I do wonder is when you see the government, when you see NASA, when you see other institutions... That's actually pretty funny. Like, last time he'll ever be on CNN in his life, he will be six feet under. There is no global warming. You should have had a bullhorn. What I do wonder is when you see the government, when you see NASA, when you see other institutions say that 97% of climate scientists agree, do you think they're making it up? What I don't understand is... Now he has a very different take on this 97% bogative number that we've deconstructed many times down to where it actually came from. I like his explanation better. It's easier for people to understand. Well that's a manipulated figure and let me explain it to you.

1:01:33 The government puts out about two and a half billion dollars directly for climate research every year. Let that sink in. We've discussed this before. Two and a half billion dollars every year for climate research. Directly for climate research every year. It only gives that money to scientists who will produce scientific results that support the global warming hypothesis of the Democrat Party opposition. So, they don't have any choice. If you're going to get the money, you've got to support their position. Therefore, 97% of the scientific reports published support global warming. Why? Because those are the ones the government pays for and that's where the money is. It's real simple. But that doesn't mean it's right. That doesn't make it true. That only makes it bought and paid for. The money goes in circles. Yep, there you go.

1:02:28 And there you have it. But the best, well I have two best clips really. The funniest one was your governor. I have the governor clip. Well I have it queued up so shall I just play it? Hit it. You play yours if it's different I'll play mine. Wait wait wait. Where's yours? It just says Jerry Brown. Jerry Brown. Alright let's listen to Jerry Brown. When President Trump pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accord last week, California Governor Jerry Brown saw an opportunity to go green in China. Ben Tracy reports from Beijing.

1:03:04 This is serious stuff. This is not a game. This is not appealing to your political base. This is dealing with the existential threats to humanity. California Governor Jerry Brown may now have more in common with the Chinese government than he does with United States government. In a setting normally reserved for visiting heads of state, he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is now viewed as the world's leader on climate change. China is the world's biggest polluter. Do you trust them to lead the world on this issue? Well, they're taking the climate threat serious. So I say all to the good and California will collaborate. I just hope that Washington comes on board sooner rather than later. Yeah. Yeah. I have a very different clip. That is that is the whole story. And I guess what they're doing is they're sharing engineers and knowledge.

1:03:59 Is there any actual money taking place? Except for a lot of cool trips, I'm sure. Yes, there will be some money taking place because it appears as if that our future wind power and some of the other stuff we get and solar panels will all be bought from China. Well, here's the good government. And by the way, this whole thing is like pollution. China has actual pollution, honest to God pollution, soot. They have the real pollution that kills people. They don't have CO2 emissions. They have that too, obviously. But they're the worst in the world and here we are, oh well, they're leading. They're the leaders. Yeah, exactly. Democrats like money from the Chinese. Just ask the Clintons and Obama.

1:04:51 This was, I think, a much funnier clip from Jerry Brown saying the same thing, just in a much better way. decarbonize our future. I had to do that to a pot the other day. It's a pain in the ass, by the way, when you have real buildup of carbon because you can't scrape it off. It gets on there. It's very difficult. But it's not carbon dioxide. He's saying we have to decarbonize. Yeah, we have to get this stuff off of my pot. We know we have to decarbonize our future. If we don't, it's a horror.

1:05:44 People are going to die. Habitat will be destroyed. Seas will rise. Insects will spread in areas they've never been before. This is not a game. It's not politics to talk to your base. It's humanity and whether it makes it through the 21st century. So California will stay the course. We're already embarked upon a very aggressive and a program to reduce our own a people, 30% of the world's economy. This is our under two coalition. It involves Canada and Mexico, states and provinces in Germany and China and Mexico, all over the place. So yes, what Trump has done, it's wrong.

1:06:50 It's gonna cause damage, but we will take this negative catalyst and we will mobilize the people of our own state of California and we will also join with people throughout the world. This is too serious to do anything less than that. Okay, here's a question for you. Yeah. And why doesn't the mainstream media or any media for that matter bring this up? How is this not A violation of the Logan Act. How is this not a violation? He's doing business, he's doing treaties, he's doing global warming agreements with China and there's about seven other governors that are gonna do the same thing. They're gonna team up with China, the new leader.

1:07:40 Here, section 953, private correspondence with foreign governments. Any citizen of the United States, whether he may or may not be with the authority of the United States directly or indirectly, commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government. It's the Logan Act all over again. Now they made a big stink about Flynn having a chance. It'll come up again today. I'm sure it'll come up again today. Yeah, it will. How come this isn't a violation of the Logan Act? Well, if it's happening, it should be. It is happening. He's over there, he was hanging out, the way the CBS report had him, they had the movie of him, they're sitting there in this grand hall next to the head of China and it says only great people at a head of state can ever be in this situation and he's pushing California as an independent vehicle. This is a violation of the Logan Act. Get out while you can, man. Get out while you can.

1:08:37 He repeated this message and it kind of came across the same way on some different stations, but the message was very consistent. We know we have to decarbonize our future. If we don't, it's a horror. People are going to die. Habitat will be destroyed, seas will rise, insects will spread in areas they've never been before. This is not a game. It's not politics to talk to your base. It's humanity and whether it makes it through the 21st century. That's right everybody! California! Light up the key in my back, Nancy!

1:09:21 I know it's your gag, but he's my dad Did he say I'd like to hear that he says or we're not gonna make it to you Or did he say we're not going to make it through the 21st century? Because we're in the 21st century. Oh, well let's just do it again then. With the effects. We know we have to decarbonize our future. We should dehumanize our future. That'd be better, Jerry. Just you and the elites. Get rid of all the carbon structures. You know, those, what are they? Grass eaters. If we don't, it's a horror. People are going to die.

1:09:58 Habitat will be destroyed, seas will rise, insects will spread in areas they've never been before. This is not a game. It's not politics to talk to your base. It's humanity and whether it makes it through the 21st century. Whether we may not make it through the 21st century. I think that's what he said. Yeah, we're all gonna die. This is the fire and brimstone. Floods, pestilence, which is the insects. I'm glad you bring this up. It's all the religion stuff. I have received. We have a bunch of heathens out there that buy into this crap. I have received several emails as feedback regarding evangelicals and how they view particularly Nancy Pelosi because we played her on the last

1:10:45 on the last show, you know, with a lot of religious stuff as it relates to this. Right, and I believe my commentary on this was that the evangelicals aren't buying a bit of this. Okay, I have a couple notes. Beth, yes we see through Pelosi and any politician that tries to use Christianity to gain popularity. And while I'm on the subject, I meant to email you guys for a while now and mention that I appreciate the fact you two aren't negative towards Christians. It means a lot that you don't beat us down or ridicule our faith even though you don't believe as we do. Yeah. That's true. Well, we do ridicule everybody fairly, but I don't think we ridicule on religion. Grant says, yes, I see through Pelosi's words. It is however not a safe assumption that my fellow Christians, note I did not say Republicans, can also see through it. I know plenty who can't. For your information, the Pope is not an evangelical Christian, he's a Catholic. Evangelical Christians are of Protestant descent or in protest of Catholicism.

1:11:41 I can... I would... there's a charismatic movement within the Catholic Church that is very similar, if not identical, to the evangelicals. Next is from Michelle. I'm listening to show 9 or 3 5 right now. John and yourself were talking very briefly about if the evangelical vote could be swayed by climate change. Talker suddenly talking about God and being good stewards to God's creation in the environment. My answer is yes, absolutely, these people can be swayed. My mother-in-law is the kind of person that would fall into this type of category. If the argument makes some type of sense and could be equated to the Bible and God's will, sometimes even a devout believer can be swayed to believe anything, despite what they know as fact, flat earth included. In short, not all evangelical voters would see through a sudden narrative shift regarding the climate and adding God to it as one would hope. In fact, many may fall neatly in line. Love the show, Michelle, and then the final one,

1:12:41 From Jason. Nancy Pelosi is a nut bar. Evangelicals are not Catholic, they are Protestant. The vast majority. We went through that. In the sphere that is casually called Christendom, there's a huge schism. It is divided into the RCC and the Protestants. The single most important difference... Okay, that's a lot about God. As for how this ties into Christianity and climate change, the flood and the covenant. This is why you will find very few Christians that are worried to a panic. If you believe in the Bible, then there is no doom coming other than the tribulation end times. God said he would never again flood the world. That was a good one. I didn't know this.

1:13:22 That's an interpretation I think is probably true, which means the mudflats are here to stay, exactly where they were in 1890. One could argue that it is us that are flooding the world, but that puts us in supremacy over God. Extremely arrogant to the point of hubris. Another thing is that most Christians are in agreement regarding our place on earth as stewards. We are here not to simply enjoy things but to be good stewards of the things we have. This means that real pollution is the issue and not some hopped up worry about a necessary trace gas." And then he just talks about some Freeman Dyson stuff, etc. But I think that God promised he would never again flood the world. I like that. And why is that just an interpretation? Did he not say it? Well, I don't know that he said that per se.

1:14:13 I mean, it's an interpretation because the way the Bible is written is if you want to read anything from the Bible, you want to go to one of these websites that has like 50 Bibles deconstructed. And so you look at the one Bible says this, another Bible says that. And the reason I got into this was because I was very interested in the discussion of the phenomenon of tongues, especially during the George Bush administration. You mean speaking in tongues? Yeah. And I've always believed, and I think when you look at the Daniel Webster version of the Bible, which had this, I thought, outlined the best, is that, and if you think the logic of it,

1:14:52 Only recently has it become this babbling language. Earlier, it was, I think, and the Daniel Webster version will back this up, it referred to having speaking in a foreign language. So it was rude. It was considered rude to be like, for example, in a church speaking in tongues, meaning that you would be in church and there'd be somebody next to you speaking in Romanian. When it's an English church and everyone's speaking in English and Latin, of course. And if you start looking at it from that perspective, all the references to tongues in the Bible makes a lot of sense. And it has to do more with, you know, rudeness and how you should... And I would also say it means that if you live in the United States, for example, an English-speaking country, you should learn English. I think that is backed up by this thesis.

1:15:47 Meanwhile... Now, get off the subject. No, no, no. John Cook, who is a cognitive scientist at the Center for Climate Change Communications at George Mason University, listen carefully, Climate Change Communication, has done a study and he's testing a quote, vaccine, it's in quotes, so it's not really a shot. A climate change vaccine? Yes, against climate change denial. Now here's a story. This is George Mason University in Virginia. He recently tested the strength of inoculation messages against the notorious Oregon petition which uses fake experts to cast doubt on the scientific consensus on climate change.

1:16:32 In the PLOS Plus One, that's a serious medical journal, Cook and his colleagues reported that when about 100 study participants were presented with the misinformation alone, their views did further polarize along political lines. But when another group of participants were first warned about a general strategy used in misinformation campaigns, in this case, they were told that fake experts had often been used by tobacco industry to question the scientific consensus about the effects of tobacco on health, and was shown an ad with the text, 20,679 physicians say, luckies are less irritating, as in lucky strikes, the polarizing effect of the misinformation was completely neutralized. Nobody likes to be misled no matter their politics.

1:17:16 This is Cook, the scientist. He suggests that inoculation messages may serve to put listeners on alert for trickery, making them more likely to scrutinize the information they receive. So there's a lot of business going on here. How about this? The idea is, and this would be borne out in some of the theories that the US Army developed about going in there and creating these false documents so you can point at them. Sure. to prove your point that climate change is going on when in reality the climate change side is where the phony documents really are. In fact, I think that was proven out when we saw ClimateGate, which really punctured the whole climate business when all these emails were exposed showing, oh, we're not getting the right numbers. Let's change our numbers. Change the p-values. There is one guy in the Senate who was preaching

1:18:15 Preach him what you like to hear and he nails it. Your previous guest sounded like, you know, my goodness, the sky is falling, mass extinction, really? So I don't think we should be alarmist about this. I mean, the planet's 4.5 billion years old. We have gone through great extremes of climate change, natural, and now we may have a man-made influence as well. But these people, the question I always ask these alarmists is, how much is nature and how much is man? They act as if it's a given that man is the only source of climate change. Well, my goodness, the great climate changes in our history all happened before the Industrial Revolution. So is there climate change? Can man have an impact? Yes, but let's don't be so alarmist as to say such.

1:18:59 outrageous things that if we don't sign the Paris Accords there's going to be mass extension? That is a ridiculous statement. Well I don't know if it's a direct cause and effect relationship but obviously scientists, you can go onto the nasa.gov website right now and see what the effects are of man-made climate change. I mean, some of them... But if you look at the accord, if you look at the accord, even the intergovernmental committee that promotes all of this, even they say it might be 0.2 degrees over 100 years. And you also need to make sure your viewers know that most of their modeling has been wrong. They readjust their modeling every year because they haven't been very good at predicting things.

1:19:41 Predicting the future is notoriously difficult and this is, modeling is not an exact science. It is a science that has variability and probability. You know what I'm saying, and this is the big argument that none of you guys get and nobody ever looks at is how much is nature and how much is man? I'm perfectly willing to admit that man can have an influence and that we should minimize our pollution. But those who say that it is all man and don't acknowledge that the 4.5 billion year old planet has gone through massive climate change based on natural effects. The most dramatic ice ages, the dramatic warming and cooling of the planet all happened before man was even around for the most part. Even when man was here, man was only burning fires.

1:20:23 So we have had dramatic, we've had carbon in the air 600 times what we have now. And so it's gone up and down. And I'm not saying we should forgive and discount pollution, but we should not be so alarmist that we're willing to give up all the American jobs based on computer modeling that has been notoriously inaccurate over the last 15 years that it's been developed. Why did we change the name from global warming to climate change? Because there's some uncertainty now whether it's getting warmer or colder. And I can tell you, if you look at the details of the modeling and the projections in the last 15 years, they've been altered almost every year because their modeling doesn't add up. All these people saying we're going to have a hundred foot rise in our seas in the next hundred years, that kind of alarmism is not scientific. And actually, if you read many of the people who do want to control pollution, they will tell you that that's nonsense.

1:21:13 There you go, there's your climate models. Indeed, in fact we harp on this, the models, these models are bogus. I think that Scott Adams' cartoon pretty much summarized it. Oh, which one was this? Floating around, I'm gonna try to get, I'm gonna put it in the newsletter, but Scott's kind of a stickler about people just using his stuff, and so I'm gonna get permission. Oh, okay, yeah, I gotcha. A lot of artists are that way. I don't know if he's as bad as he used to be, but when the internet first cranked up, he used to, he used to have, he's an engineer, or however you pronounce it, he used to scour the net for people using his cartoons. Ah, and go sue them. I don't know if he ever sued anybody, but he definitely got a hold of them.

1:22:05 I remember talking about that kind of guy, Jim Marshall, the photographer, who's I collected a number of his pieces when he was poor and he was selling them cheaply. And he I knew the guys have died recently and he used to be a tough kind of a tough Armenian character and he would go around he's the one who took the picture of Jimi Hendrix with the guitar and and the cigarette lighter lighting it on fire with the with the cigarette juice or whatever lighter fluid is what we call it cigarette juice man so that picture is one of his in fact many very iconic photos are his okay and if you ever stay at the Hard Rock Cafe and

1:22:51 Casino in Las Vegas all the photos and all the rich and gorgeous. Oh god no. And so he he used to go You just find out somebody's stealing his stuff. He would just go to their offices and then slam their hand in a door Really? Yeah Yes, the word got out. Oh, that's funny. That's funny.

I actually had a special karma, night jobs karma request. We always break for our nights. This is from Simon Leonard, might be a long shot because I don't have a donation lined up for the show tomorrow but I thought I'd try my co-workers and I love your show. Love your show. We work at a little locally owned Apple computer repair shop in Victoria, BC and listen to your show on Thursdays live. Hello! We just got word, isn't that crazy that somewhere 20 seconds later in Victoria someone's hearing, hello!

1:40:09 The internet is fabulous. We just got word that our store is going out of business and Friday is our last day. What? Yeah, well it's Mac, Apple computer. You know, you can't prepare anything. You can upgrade your memory by buying a new one. We straddle both dimensions at our store and the No Agenda Show always gives us great fodder for conversation around the office. If you could give us some Trump Jobs karma for our collective hunt for new work, it'd be insanely appreciated. Like I mentioned, I don't have a donation lined up for tomorrow, but I'm on the $4 a show subscription plan and plan to stay on it anyway. If you could give Carl, Armin, Linden, Warren, and myself some jobs karma, that would really help improve our spirits and our chances of moving on successfully. Remember to call Carl out as a douchebag too. As he has yet to donate even though he's an avid listener. On Sundays as well, I might add. Thank you very much.

1:41:03 Oh, he's hoping to be a knight someday. Well, I got kind of hoodwinked there. I thought I was breaking- What'd I say? But, uh, I- you know, I understand. It's a scam! Now where's my Trump thing? Jobs! No, that's not it. We have Trump jobs. Mm-hmm. Trump jobs. Here we go. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! You've got karma. I hope it works. All right. And onward. And that is it? Right? No, we got two more. We got two more. Okay. Jennifer... Oh, brother. Chocoletchik. Chocoletchik. Chocoletchik. That's what I think it is. Chocoletchik. You're kidding me. I'm not kidding you. Calgary, Alberta, $200. Can I please get a fuck cancer and a karma from my loved one? Jeez. This is bad today. Fucking cancer! Fucking cancer! Fucking cancer! You thought karma

1:42:09 And finally, a lot of 200s today. This is good. This is good. It's a good little group. And finally, last but not least, Susan Johnson in Newburgh, Oregon, $200. And she sent a card that says, thank you on the card. And then she wrote a note in her longhand. Very readable. Dear John and Ann, thank you for your faithfulness, gentlemen, to the show, to us producers, and to the No Agenda ideal. I no longer mind my commute as I spend the time tuned on to you two being informed and entertained. A couple of times you have mentioned the name Seth, and not in a positive light. I would like to call out Seth, A Seth, as a douche.

1:43:03 He hit my son in the mouth who then hit me in the mouth, but I've never heard Seth's name as a donor. Keep up the good work on the best podcast in the universe, Susan Johnson. Alrighty. There you go. That concludes our little group of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 936. And these are credits that you can be used anywhere professional media credits are recognized and the suggestion is to use them on your LinkedIn, other business related profiles on the social medias. They apparently help you get the jobs. And I think we should do an extra jobs karma because a lot of people seem to need it today. And we'll be thanking everyone else who came in at $50 or above later on the program. And remember, we have another show on Sunday. Please, please, please support us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Jobs, jobs, jobs.

1:43:53 Jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma. Devorah.org slash N-A. That's right everybody, you've got a couple more days over the weekend to go out there and form your laws. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Shut up, snake. I've already fixed the bouncing icon. We're done. You don't have to do it. Okay, great. Sorry about that. It just really was tripping me out. Oh shit, it's still doing it. Well, you didn't fix it then. While you're working on fixing it, I do want to mention something. We had a discussion about two months ago about these names like Seth. And the name that came up and cropped up because it became one of the five most popular names and has maintained that for the last five or six years, Mason.

1:44:55 Yes, Mason, correct. I think I identified the source of the popularity and I have a theory behind it because... Well, now I will tell you what I believe is that it's related to Mason from one of the Kardashian girls. Unfortunately, then that girl was named during its height of popularity. She did not make it popular. The boy, the boy was named. Yeah, it's just a girl's name too. Mason Williams. Who's Mason Williams? Mason... Oh, that's interesting. Really? Mason Williams is a guitar player famous for classical jazz... gas. Huh. A huge hit in the 60s and then re... a second time around hit in the 80s and he was a good-looking guitar player. He was on the Smothers Brothers show a lot. Okay, stop. That's why I don't know. Smothers Brothers.

1:45:54 This Mother's Brothers show was a huge hit. Yeah, I know, but I'm a little too young to have been a part of the hit generation. Well, I'm just saying that this rotation came around and this guy, and I think it's the only, I've never heard this name before, Mason Williams. And I think it was one of those, you know, heartthrobs that a lot of women named their kids Mason after they, you know, because they got middle-aged or whenever they had these babies. And then Mason became a hot name. It once became a hot name and it just stabilized as a hot name. I just, to only, because I kept, I was obsessed with this. I kept looking back because it's always like some soap opera star named Kimberly or something, you know, it's always something. And so I kept looking back, Mason, Mason, Mason jar. I couldn't come up with anything. Then I saw Mason. I like the Mason jar thing. I liked that. I thought that was a good one. All right. Okay. Let me just tell you what's going on right now. So no longer is the Skype icon bouncing in the dock now instead. And I've tried to turn it off.

1:46:51 A message window comes up with what you are saying to me three seconds ago. It's giving me like a closed caption of what you're saying. It's popping up every time you talk. We have to stop this. I can't continue. It's driving me crazy. I have a solution. The solution is to turn it off and I can tell you how because I can't do it. It's a Windows thing. What? Yes, I did. So I have to turn it off? Yes. Make yours go away? Yes. You started it. I never started anything. It's I think by accident. If you can please follow these instructions. I'm looking. Oh, there's instructions? Yeah, I have instructions. Oh, okay, go. This could be like the now this is the flight crew in the tower. We're going to help the stewardess land the plane. I got an amateur at the wheel. Okay. All right, here we go. My man is playing.

1:47:45 Click click on the contact that would be me and uncheck the Skype translator button Which is just below the call button any luck now? Here's what my problem is somehow I only have I know it's a way. I don't have split windows. I get just your One window open just click you double click on my head, okay?

1:48:22 Here, I'll help you out a little. I just double-clicked on your head, and now I got your full screen. That's all I got. I'm jiggling the handle. Now, do you not see under the call button a little translate button? Don't have the call button up. I'll assume I get the call button back. I mean, I just said I just let these things go. I mean, I don't like concerned about these I have Tourette's it's triggering me like okay. I got the contacts up. Okay now. Here's the call button I give a End call now. Let's do this. Wait. Wait. Let me just look. Oh, I'm gonna have to stop the recording fixes. I can't I'm gonna freak out. Oh

1:49:02 Can you understand that this dude it's very odd, but it's triggering me like crazy. Yes, I can understand. I know well I personally cannot understand it. I actually think it's funny, but I can understand it and I know the way you are in the way that this is going is not something you want to enjoy. Thank you. So I'm looking at so let's turn off all translation services. Go to the tools menu tools go to options general. Options. General. And then there should be a Skype translator. Options, general. Uh, okay. Here's what I got when I got on general. Uh, double click, show me when I'm away, start Skype when I start Windows, sign me in, show pictures, show message previews inside bar, set program to English. There is no such button. Okay, hold on a second. Hey, control room!

1:49:56 Adam, what's going on? Can we just take care of this? All right, everybody, we're gonna stop tape. Stop tape, that's five, everybody, that's five. And we're back, everybody, in five, four, three, two... There we go, much better. I just wanted to explain the problem. Well, first of all, while you're explaining it, I'd like you to explain why this just became a problem when it wasn't a problem when we first noticed it. I don't know why this... No, it was a problem throughout the whole show. I'm sitting here and every time you would speak... Couple seconds like later the Skype doc starts to you know the Skype icon is bouncing in the dock now the reason here's why it's a problem There's a lot going on here what I'm doing the show I have notified more room I got email notifications I oh I My Skype thing was all in just in the in the comments like I was sick. It was all like

1:50:51 I could have just clicked it in or wouldn't have even... but nothing's bouncing around. No, but this isn't... it's typical of the Mac. It... it's... I don't want to talk about that. The point is I really had to stop it because whenever something flashes on one of the three screens I'm using, it means something for the show and this... and then I got the... the icon to stop bouncing and then the notification centers showing me your whole text across the screen. Oh! And by the way, it was all backed up. Oh yeah? So how did you... I mean, I can't start it. I don't have a translation services on the Mac. I don't know. Well, here's the question on my mind more so than you can't start it. First of all, I did not ever check a box that... because this little menu thing... Wait, was your Skype upgraded for a better experience recently? No, because... no, I don't think so. And so I think it's the same old Skype, but

1:51:45 The question on my mind is, why should you be getting all that stuff in the first place? Getting what stuff? All the translations, everything I said. Why was the voice activation going into you if I'm the one who wanted it? Why don't you call Microsoft? I don't know. And I have to say... It seems to me that if I click this box and I'm getting this voice recognition thing turned on for maybe because I want it, because I need, maybe Maybe I don't have a speaker and I just want to hear what you have to say because that way you can do it that way. The War Room remembers you on the last show messing around with some translate thing. I don't remember it, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, holy crap, that was really, I'm sorry, it was just really freaking me out. Well, what gets me, and I'll say it again, there's no reason in the world you can't turn it off on your end. It doesn't make sense. This whole thing is ridiculous. You think?

1:52:48 Oh my goodness. Okay, we need an intermezzo of something. Some sort. I don't remember where we were at. Oh, we did our donation segment. Well, it's almost time for the second one. My goodness. My goodness. You turned off the... Well, let's talk about... Hold on. That's only in the moment. That's like an alarm clock. That's right, okay, I'm back. Here we go. What are we talking about? Let's go drugs and just do the drug story. This is the first one is frugs, but it means drugs drugs in Georgia. There's been a massive drug overdose in central Georgia at least two dozen cases.

1:53:24 over the past 48 hours and reports are still coming in. So far as many as four people have died. It is just the latest alarming example of the overdose epidemic in America. Mark Strassman begins our coverage. Authorities in central Georgia say a deadly new drug has hit the streets hard. It's the largest cluster of opioid overdoses in state history. Bibb County Sheriff David Davis. This is a poison and it acts very fast. fast and our timeline is very tight to be able to get to these individuals and render them aid. At least two dozen users have been found unconscious or unresponsive in the last 48 hours, and potentially four have died from overdoses.

1:54:12 Toxicology analysis of the street drug is incomplete, but investigators believe the yellow pill is being falsely sold as the pain pill Percocet, but is laced with other drugs. When it's taken, the patients are experiencing significant and severe decreased levels of consciousness and respiratory failure. Now, is there a street version of Percocet? I know that, you know, fentanyl, we know all that. This story makes it sound as if they have the pill looks like a Percocet and it's being sold as such on the street. Yeah, this is a major problem. But it's also, I guess it's just kind of human nature. Well, the good news, if there is any, and I don't think there is generally speaking, is in part two of the clip.

1:55:04 And I do want to make a commentary on it after we play it. Now listen to this. Overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50. According to preliminary data compiled by the New York Times, deaths last year likely topped 59,000 and that's 19% more than the year before. In Ohio, they were up even more. You know what we need to do? We have to get rid of the guns. And Dean Reynolds is there. On May 26th, Cleveland Police Sergeant Timothy Maffo's body camera was running as he approached a man slumped in a car and it turned out minutes from a fatal drug overdose. Three applications of Narcan, the anti-overdose drug, and the victim finally started coming around. Sergeant Maffo says it's become a grim routine. Have you encountered the same person twice? Oh yeah, yeah that's

1:54:12 Toxicology analysis of the street drug is incomplete, but investigators believe the yellow pill is being falsely sold as the pain pill Percocet, but is laced with other drugs.

Three applications of Narcan, the anti-overdose drug, and the victim finally started coming around. Sergeant Maffo says it's become a grim routine. Have you encountered the same person twice? Oh yeah, yeah that's

1:56:03 That's pretty common. There were 11 overdoses just last night in Cleveland, two of them fatal. In Ohio, at least 4,100 people died from unintentional drug overdoses last year, a 36 percent increase from 2015 when the state led the nation in the rate of overdose death. Kentucky, West Virginia and New Hampshire have also experienced shocking increases as has the East Coast generally. Most of it tied to heroin or prescription painkillers called opioids often laced with a powerful narcotic known as fentanyl. In Ohio alone, nearly 4 billion opioid pills were prescribed between 2011 and 2015. Even the state's lieutenant governor, Mary Taylor, recently disclosed that her two sons are now battling opioid addiction. Thomas Gilson is the medical examiner for Cuyahoga County. If you look at how many people die in this country from opiate overdose, we're looking at the same number of casualties in the entire Vietnam conflict.

1:57:05 The crisis affects rich and poor, white and black, old and young. Last Thursday, the 911 operator in Akron received this call from a nine-year-old. My brother is not breathing. How old is your brother? One. It's unclear how the child got the opioid in his system, but he died on Sunday. Ohio is now suing five big drug companies which manufacture prescription painkillers, charging that they knowingly minimize the risks of addiction. Yeah, boy. And by the way, this lawsuit is going to go through and the thing is the CEOs who overpay themselves anywhere are going to get away with this. They should criminalize

1:57:51 somehow criminalize some of this and put some of these CEOs of these drug companies, who if you see a lot of them, to me look like mafia guys, and throw them in jail. This is ridiculous. It's out of control. Well, this is, and this also harkens back, you know, call back to your newsletter. The problem is that certainly when it comes to network news, whether it's on the three by threes or whether it's on the cables, they are pretty much eating from the drug companies. Tina and I were watching last night and just one after another. And you know what the sad thing is? You know who they're targeting with this, John? Us.

1:58:28 That's the sad thing. That's why you're watching. Yeah, listen to this one. A true story with Keytruda. On Keytruda, my scans started showing good news. In a clinical study, Keytruda offered patients a longer life than chemotherapy, and with high levels of PD-L1, it could be your first treatment instead of chemotherapy. Keytruda is for adults with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, who test positive for PD-L1, and whose tumors do not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK gene. Now listen to the side effects and possible outcomes. Sounds like something I gotta get! I have pretty much all of those. Man, oh man. It's out of control. And this is, whatever this is, you know, this is instead of chemotherapy, but when you get to the opioids,

1:59:43 I don't think, no one will go to jail. It just doesn't make any sense. It's not how the system works and no one will report on it. No reporting, don't exist, didn't happen. Well, that report was done on CBS, so I give them kudos for that. This is just, you know, hey, hey, you know, we're just, we have to do something guys, you know, you know, maybe y'all should, you know, maybe y'all should step up a little bit so we don't have to report so heavily on the court case. That's the conversation I'd be having. That's what I'd be having. Yeah. That may be actually the reason for that report in the first place if you were going to go there. Yes, yes, yes. Well, there's another lawsuit against ABC and this is something that we discussed. Remember Pink Slime?

2:00:24 Oh yeah, pink slime. And ABC did a, you know, this was years ago. I think the lawsuit is now finally going to court. A high stakes defamation lawsuit opening this week with Beef Products Incorporated taking on ABC News for nearly $6 billion over a series of 2012 reports that referred to BPI's signature product as pink slime. A label the company says torpedoed its revenues. It's the first major court challenge against a media company since accusations of fake news by US President Donald Trump and his supporters have become part of the American vernacular. You are fake news. Reuters legal correspondent Anthony Lin. Well they're objecting to what ABC and some critics, you know, using the term pink slime, which you know they regard as pejorative. Basically this is a meat product. They call it lean finely textured beef and it's been used for decades.

2:01:22 as sort of a supplement to other meat cuts in ground beef that's sold in supermarkets, used in fast food. with the trial taking place in Elk Point, South Dakota, just 20 miles north of BPI's headquarters. Union County, where Elk Point is located, was won easily by Trump, who made bashing the mainstream media part of his presidential campaign. Please bring him in! A BPI lawyer even borrowing a phrase often used by the president at a January court hearing, referring to ABC's report as fake news. Fake news. Fake news.

2:02:06 Oh my my my my my. Well, that's gonna be, they're gonna have to settle that one. Let's talk for a moment about the UK. A lot is going on today is their vote, which should be very interesting. I'm pretty sure Tories will get it and they'll just continue. Well, I think they'll get but I think they're gonna lose their edge. I think that this was a bad idea. It was not a good idea at all in my humble opinion. In your humble opinion, I think everybody would agree with that. Now we had this another attack and it was really fun. I mean I have Pogo TV or whatever on Roku so you can watch Sky News and you can watch a number of things. Piers Morgan, I mean I should play these first. Let me see. No, but Piers Morgan had Sadiq Khan on who was the mayor of London.

2:03:02 on it Pierce now does like the morning show on I think it's sky or channel 4 and He asked a very simple question and no matter what interview or what piece of news footage you see from the mayor of London. His message is the same, it's constant and consistent and it's a real chicken shit answer. We're right now, if you commit, I said earlier, if you're a football hooligan and you whack a few people at a football match, you get a banning order. If you do it abroad, you get a control order which means you can't travel. You know, and yet if you're a jihadi who wants to go to Syria and fight, against British troops on some occasions, we just let you calmly come back in. Only one of them is currently under one of these control orders. And yet 400 have come back out of the 850 who've gone to Iraq or Syria to fight. How do we know how many? I mean obviously this is a UK problem. You are mayor of the capital city where the most recent terrorist attack has taken place. How many of those 400 have come back to London?

2:04:00 The estimate is just over half. Where are they? How are we letting people back in to the UK who haven't just been trained, they've actually fought potentially against our troops? How are we letting them back in without knowing exactly where they are and what they're up to? Because out of all the thousands of people that we're concerned about, surely those who've actually gone to fight are the biggest risk. That's one of the reasons why it doesn't make sense for the government to be cutting resources from those... But where are they? You're the mayor of this capital city, where are they? Hold on a second. I can't follow

2:04:38 400 people. What I can do is make sure policies because we can what we can do those make sure that the resources for the police and the experts to follow these people. Why can't you instruct the police? Why can't you call Cressida Dick right now and say every one of those people who's come back from a war zone who's in London I want them followed. Let me see why. Because the Met Police budget roughly speaking 15% to 20% is funded by me the mayor the rest comes from central government. If the Met Police budget is being shrunk and reduced they've got to prioritise and use their resources in a sensible, savvy way. What could be a bigger priority than people coming back from a Syrian battlefield with intent to harm British citizens? Why is it not the number one priority? Why are these people just allowed to come back in in the first place and then the London Mayor doesn't appear to have a clue where any of them are? I mean, no disrespect to you but where are they? Well that's one of the questions that obviously the police and security services are looking into. But this chap here... Siddiq, you're the Mayor of London.

2:05:35 Yeah, and it just goes on a set wait the question. I think there's a something screwy about this from this perspective What party is the mayor of London isn't he a liberal Democrat or is my neighbor? I believe he's I think he's not a Tory war room. He's not a Tory we know that much He's not a Tory. He may be a way. Maybe a Lib Dem. We'll find out now I not being a Tory, why doesn't he, with this going on, because I know he could use this answer and it would change things instantly, why doesn't he say, hey, ask the Home Secretary, ask the Tories, ask the Home Secretary, ask the Home Secretary why they're not dealing with this. I got nothing to do with it. Instead, he doesn't do that, which he should logically do, but I think he's just a Muslim defender. Well, let's go back a few years. He was a lawyer.

2:06:28 when he literally defended 9-11 terrorist Zakaria Smousawi. that the confessions were obtained under duress and under torture. As there is no evidence against the men, the men need to be released straight away and sent back home to their families. The Egyptian government and the state prosecutor have made a terrible mistake They can correct that mistake by releasing their men now. What we're concerned about is they're compounding their mistake by continuing to detain them and having this farce of a trial. This is a breach of Egyptian's own very important law. Egypt has a proud history of being the custodians of law and justice.

2:07:17 There you go. He is literally a Muslim, a terrorist. I shouldn't have said Muslim defender. What I meant was a Muslim terrorist defender. Yes. And because he could have said, I don't see why he didn't say, well, ask those homosexuals, because he doesn't want, he wants these guys here. I never liked this mayor. I always thought he was corrupt in some funny way. But what gets me and what Pierce and his co-host nailed is, hold on, you know, you know that there's 400, you know, they're back half of them. So you know who they are, but you're, oh I can't, I can't follow, I can't follow 400, I can't, I can't follow them, no. Because they took away my money. That's what he's saying. Oh, I didn't have the budget. And meanwhile, the slaves in the UK are like... Many London-bound passengers flying... Well not just British, but they're also Americans... ...out of Los Angeles said they were alarmed, but would carry on with their travel plans. We've already bought the tickets for everything and we're staying right in the city. So...

2:08:14 You know again you can't stop living you just have to go and hope for the best just have to be cautious and Keep living our life and not let it stop us in London heightened security as forensic investigators scour the area in all honesty We have to have confidence in the security mechanisms that are in place So, you know, like I say you can't live in fear. You have to live your life So everyone's oh, yeah, no, this is the time to go Well, I don't know. I mean I almost went after Manchester So it's not necessarily the right time to go. But if you do statistical analysis, that's right. I do have some insider info from a couple of our producers in Gitmo Nation GMT. Now it has been, let me see, 10 points. Here we go. First I know for sure, okay, somebody died because a friend of mine, I know very well, James Mullen from Hackney was a close friend of someone I know.

2:09:11 Second, I know the hospitals are full filled with people with gunshot wounds. This is not being reported I know this because the person I know whose friend died went around all the hospitals trying to find his deceased friend without success Remember they said oh only 50 bullets But it appears a lot of people were shot by police bullets or so I met I don't know who else had the the jihadis had knives and a van a truck and But there's no real reporting on this. For sure one person got a headshot. But yeah, I think there's a lot of unexplained stuff. There's a lot of weird things going on with this. Well, the one clip I have... And you should be outraged if you're in the UK. What do you mean you don't have the money? What do you mean you don't have the money? Are you serious? Or is he just saying that so please don't vote? I can't get to the war room for some reason. All of our infrastructure went down or something. It was very strange.

2:10:17 Why? I mean, the outrage should just be astronomical. Well, it might be. Or is he just saying that so you don't vote for Theresa May? Is that possible? I think if he wanted to do that, he would have thrown the whole question at the Home Secretary. Right. Right. So I don't think there's political. I think he's just like a defender of these guys. He likes the I don't know But here's the story that got me. This is the guy but yeah Yeah, one of the one of the terrorists the guy was on a TV show. Oh, they knew all they knew all these guys It's all whenever it's a lone wolf. They always had eyes on him at some point But here's the story that of course RT loves to give these the West English

2:11:01 English and America is the needle. So this is an RT report, so it's definitely slanted. But this is a very interesting report on but the terrorist. In time British authorities have revealed more details about one of the London bridge attackers at the weekend. It emerged that as well as appearing in a documentary called The Jihadis Next Door, he also worked on the London Underground transport system. Polly Boyker has more. His extremist ideology was right there for British authorities to see. Khurram Butt's radical views were captured on camera in 2015 for a documentary about jihadists that was watched by millions in the UK. MI5 did look into him, but they found no evidence that he was planning an attack and he was deemed low priority. So low priority that he was able to get a job with the London Underground.

2:11:53 He's said to have worked at various tube stations including Westminster, which is right next to the British Parliament. Incredibly, it's reported that he was sacked for poor attendance and not his extremist views. Karam Butt worked for London Underground for just under six months as a trainee customer service assistant, leaving in October last year. And the revelations don't end there. This is the block of flats where Karam Butt lived with his young family on the ground floor. One neighbor's told journalists that his wife reported Butt to the police.

2:12:29 two years ago because she was worried that he was trying to convert children to radical Islam. On another occasion, a former friend reported Butt to the police because he was worried that Butt had been radicalized through watching online propaganda. So they had all the reports they needed and MI5 was aware of this guy because he was in the documentary. Yeah. You know, these security agencies, what do they do for a living? Well they're not supposed to do this kind of... don't they? They say they thwarted five. You know, it's always that. Saved or created. Now this is what the London mayor is really interested in. You've come under quite some pressure from the US president. What do you think that he's got against you? Well look, I mean, since Saturday I've been working with the police, with the emergency services, with the government and others.

2:13:29 to deal with the horrific attack on Saturday. I just haven't got the time to respond to tweets from Donald Trump. Would you like the state visit to be called off? Well, my position remains the same. I don't think we should be running out of the red carpet to the President of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for. I think one of the things when you have a special relationship It's not different, no different to when you've got a close mate. You stand with them in times of adversity, but you call them out when they're wrong. And there are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong. You know, we've been, it's been hammered into us for two generations, but really starting with my generation, you know, be kind, you know, love, peace, you know, can we all get along? Everything's great.

2:14:18 And no one wants to just say, no, I'm going to beat back. You know? And people in the UK, when they hear this, oh, everything he stands for, everything we don't want. I don't know. We're not entirely safe in the US, but we haven't had this. You know? So at what point do people say, you know, I'm really tired of people getting killed. And the crazy thing is here in the United States, the same thing with the political correct atmosphere. You know, if you like, I am America's always kind of big. Hey, I'm gonna don't tread on me. I'm gonna kick your ass, which is now racist. Of course, the Gatson flag can't even use that. Can you use the phrase probably? Then you know, that's like, oh, that's you're frowned upon. And this is what he's saying. Well, no, he said that he stands for everything. Every day. What was it again?

2:15:14 He's against everything we stand for? Yeah, pretty much. His policies... well, let's listen to it here. The president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for, I think one of the things... Everything. Everything you stand for. Okay. What policies are this? Or just it's all about the Muslim travel ban. It's all about the travel ban. My friends in London, they all universally say, Damn Muslim, which is extremely, you know, they're incredibly racist, but they're very they're angry about it But no one really does no one says anything. It's really it's really quite meek and timid. It's I find it fascinating that there's no incredible outrage

2:15:57 And we know that Theresa May, you know, said, oh, the internet is a safe space, we gotta stop all that. Now this is flowing through here and CBS... I have a clip. I have a clip too, so you play your clip and then I have my Theresa May clip. All right, this is actually Fran Townsend. And there's... Oh, Franny. Yeah, Franny's the, you know, kind of milfy, she was a... Was she National Security Advisor, I believe, for Bush? She's in the business. Well, she's clearly in the business. A little tidbit that came up here in the introduction. CBS News Senior National Security Analyst Fran Townsend with us. She was President George W. Bush's Homeland Security Advisor. She's been interviewed by Trump administration officials seeking a new FBI director. Fran, good morning. Wow, this is before the new guy was announced. She would have been great.

2:16:45 Don't you think she would have been fantastic as an FBI director? I'd hope that she would. But she wouldn't take that job. She's semi-retired. She's coasting. Yes, and she's got this gig at CBS. How significant is this component, this cyberspace component, and how should it be addressed? Charlie, I think that this is the single most important component right now. Let's remember, using the telegram channel, the encrypted messaging application, ISIS called for Ramadan attacks using cars, knives and guns. And we've seen this incredible rise in these Ramadan attacks right now.

2:17:22 And so I think what Theresa May is trying to say is we need to battle the cyberspace just as you would the physical space air, sea, land. We need to approach it in that way as a to confront them to deny them the use of the Internet. Addressing the cyberspace issue. You know, I read this morning that Twitter said it suspended 370,000 accounts in the second half of 2017 for promoting terrorism. Now this is what's incredible to listen to. Yes, they deactivated 387,000 accounts. That doesn't mean it was 387,000 people, but these morons don't even see through that. They're presenting as, oh my God, there's almost a half a million. No, this is all retweeting bots and click farms. And- But mostly, I mean, if you're going to do this, it seems to me you want to create yourself a little army of Twitter users. You write a script.

2:18:17 a JavaScript that creates accounts and just rotates through names like Robert1, Robert2, Robert3, Robert4. And since it's all screen-based, you can do an account. There's no CAPTCHAs that I know of or that I know of on Twitter to make an account. So you can have one guy just with a nice script create a $10,000 or $20,000 accounts in two or three days. That's a huge number. It sounds like they're trying to do something. They are. They were very late to the game and they had to be sort of shamed into doing it. And they have an understandable and righteous concern about First Amendment. I get that.

2:18:54 By the same token, you can't allow yourselves to provide these social media companies material support, right? This is, it would be, that's a criminal offense to provide material support. And so you have to do more. They have to deploy technology that will allow them to identify video, audio, pictures and take them down. Aren't there videos still online right now? Wow! Wow! an American by drone! Woohoo! And everyone's like, yeah, mm-hmm, yeah. Yeah, yeah, no problem. And please disregard the fact that he was a featured luncheon speaker at the Pentagon in 2002-2003. He was freely invited into the Pentagon to speak about how he could help bridge the gap between the radical Islamic community and the intelligence and armed forces.

2:19:54 And then he was legally killed and his son was legally killed while he was having it. Did they mention, did they bring up the fact that it was righteous and legal to kill the 16 year old? Well, of course not. Why would you do that? Pictures and take them down. Aren't there videos still online right now? There are, Gail, and Anwar al-Awlaki is probably the best example, an American-born al-Qaeda cleric who was rightly and legally targeted with a drone attack by President Obama and killed. If you go online right now and you Google him, you can bring up his sermons, and so he's, that stuff's still online and he's permitted to terrorize us from the grave.

2:20:31 I'll walk by! I target you from the grave! I worked on that all night. Sorry. Hold on. That's terrible. There we go. I can't get it back. One, two. Hey, it won't stop. One, two. Stop, stop, stop. There we go. No, it won't stop. I can't stop myself. There we go. What? It's been quite the day. Now, that was a piece of propaganda crap. It's horrible. CBS again. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they can't. I mean, there's no...to let her get away with...I mean, I think she's a good analyst. I think she does great work. Yeah, she's cute. And I like her. She's pretty. And she comes out and says, rightfully and legally, they throw that in on purpose.

2:21:27 It wasn't like casual that she was just thinking it. This was rehearsed. She had the whole paragraph all set up and good to go. It's online. It could actually be one guy that did all 387,000, but we don't know. But it wasn't more than a dozen. But they're talking about that has to be removed, you know, free speech. The slaves, that's what it comes down to. We cannot have Silicon Valley mainly facilitating speech. Just no! Just no to speech is what it is. I mean we need a very different education system, we need people to think about. We as human beings are not prepared for the internet. We still have tailbones. We don't know what the hell, how to deal with this. Witness what's going on.

2:22:24 I'm 52 and it's getting hard on me sometimes. And then you got all this stuff popping up and jiggling and beeping and bonking. And you actually know about the mechanisms. Most people don't even have a clue. Yes, yeah. Especially those facebaggers you keep quoting from. Yeah, it's rough. They have no clue that we're even ridiculing them. Let's play the Theresa May thing which takes it to another level. Again, after three deadly terror attacks in as many months, now Britain's Prime Minister said she's prepared to rewrite current human rights laws if they get in the way of attempts to implement new anti-terror legislation. I mean longer prison sentences for those convicted of terrorist offences. I mean making it easier for the authorities to deport foreign terrorist suspects back to their own country.

2:23:14 And I mean doing more to restrict the freedom and movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they are a threat but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court. And if our human rights laws stop us from doing it, we'll change the laws so we can do it. Theresa May's approach to countering terrorism differs from her political opponents. The Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn wants an overhaul of foreign policy, connecting the attacks to foreign wars. He's insisted he would do everything possible to prevent further atrocities, but has voted against anti-terror legislation no less than 17 times since becoming an MP. You know, I just figured it out. I know what's going on there in the UK.

2:24:06 And you actually brought this up in relationship to Donald Trump, which is nothing, not a part of this story. But if you take into account Brexit, which is now a serious conversation, why people voted to leave, it turns out, according to the Office for National Statistics in the UK, that there are now, let me see, what is the number? Up to, it is increasing with 12% year over year, the cases of syphilis and there are serious conversation about people saying that this syphilis epidemic is making people nutty, which is what syphilis does. Yeah. And since you brought this up with the whole Trump thing that he maybe had syphilis and that seems to be popping up, we need to keep our eye on this. But before you know it, everyone's gonna be like, that guy has syphilis.

2:25:07 Seriously though, seriously. Well syphilis has always been a problematic disease. In fact, there was a... before it was eradicated by penicillin or killed off by penicillin. It had a very interesting reputation of more...it created insanity. It made it look like you had other diseases that you didn't have. It's not an easy disease to diagnose either. It's not like gonorrhea, for example. Are there any external signs of syphilis or is it just you just go nutty? Well, let's look it up. Oh, this is a good one. I can't wait. Ladies and gentlemen, where else do you get a team, a crack crew focusing down on the symptoms of syphilis than right here on the NO Agenda show? I tell you. You got it? Okay. Uh, as, well no, as I just, I just.

2:26:02 It's a very funny word to spell. Same day syphilis tests. Oh. It's a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria blah blah blah. The signs and symptoms of the, oh by the way I have an ISO for you. Yeah. Which I just use, kind of use. This is the. From Tucker. Tucker ISO. Yeah. Blah blah blah blah blah. sexually transmitted infection. Thank you. You can use that for any purpose. For anything, yeah. Just if I feel it. The signs and symptoms vary depending on which of the four stages, primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. The primary stage classically represents just a canker sore.

2:26:47 A firm painless non-itchy skin ulceration, okay? There may be multiple sores, which probably similar to I guess a genital wart, I'm guessing. But there may be multiple sores. And secondary syphilis, herpes. Sounds like herpes. So you might get mixed up with herpes. And is there a cure for syphilis? Yeah, penicillin. I feel queasy all of a sudden. Yeah, well, you're just going to get worse. In secondary syphilis, a diffuse rash occurs, which frequently involves the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Now this is like, okay. That's late stage? So if I start to get a rash. That's second.

2:27:29 Second stage. There may also be sores in the mouth or vagina. In latent syphilis, which is stage three, which can last for years, there are no symptoms. But then, stage four. Tertiary syphilis, there are guma, soft non-cancerous growths, neurological or heart symptoms. Yeah, you get heart problems too. Syphilis has been known as the great imitator as it may cause symptoms similar to many other diseases. Now if you have syphilis on your hands or you have the rash, that's not transferable? It's only through sexual contact? That's my understanding. Yeah, it's rare. It says fewer than 200,000 US cases per year. Spreads by sexual contact. Treatable by a medical professional. Medium term. Resolves within months. Requires a medical diagnosis. Lab tests or imaging is always required. Hmm. So and when do you go crazy? Is that the last stage? It's just one of those I think it must be. Hmm.

2:28:30 There's not really much discussion about them making you nuts, even though it's a very known symptom. Well, there's serious talk about this and we need to keep an eye out because when you have people saying Trump may have it, and that's why he's nuts, and then, you know, I mean, it could just be anybody. You know what? You should all get a yellow star if we have syphilis. That'll help. It's real. This is the world has gone nuts. I tell you John it's gone nuts I'm gonna show my soul by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun I wouldn't recommend looking at this wiki page Because there's a lot of photos here that are not a pleasant Okay, let's get back to the

We love the tweets when you can send it. Um, I have a few things. Yes, this is one that hold over from the last show. I came across an interview with Seth Rich's girlfriend. Another guy named Seth. Yes, Kelsey and

2:36:12 Now, you know, we've heard a lot of different accounts of this but I thought this short clip was just interesting to add to the arsenal. More than two months since the killing of Seth Rich, the 27 year old Democratic Committee employee. His girlfriend still wants answers. Whoever shot the gun. probably doing it out of anger. Rich apparently was talking to Kelsey Molka on the phone when he was shot in the back and killed July 10th while walking home from a bar. The officers that arrived actually couldn't believe he passed because he was So it confirmed there from her as well. He was just talking away. How could he how could he have died? Are you using a Radio Shack mic? No, that's I didn't I didn't make that clip someone else found it for me, obviously Then This is something

2:37:11 And then I definitely want to talk about Qatar, Qatar. But this is something I've heard about, I read about, I finally got a clip, just I wanted to bring it up, because I do not understand... A, why it's happening, B, why it's not a much bigger story in the M5M. Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to lock up anyone entering the United States illegally. But four months in, a Reuters investigation finds U.S. border agents are still releasing illegal migrants after they're caught crossing the border from Mexico, just as they did under the Obama-era policy known as catch and release. There's one big change, though. Far fewer migrants are trying to cross into the United States.

2:37:48 Border agents telling us that's because Trump's rhetoric has convinced people in Mexico and Central America. And correctly, it turns out that Trump is already cracking down. The finish of the story is interesting by itself, but that's just going on? I thought that was going to be stopped. And why isn't, why aren't people yelling about this? Well, I think if it's, if it's actually having a psychological effect in preventing people from coming here in the first place, that's okay by me. But the story obviously is to say, hey, hey, hey, they're not doing anything. It's... Yeah, but that's not a story. I had to search high and low for this clip. That's why I'm confused. Oh, I don't know. I noticed this too. Yeah. Now, the thing... Well, they got... Just because it's got... For one thing, it's got nothing to do... It plays to the wrong base. And so the stories always have to play to the right base, which is the liberals and Democrats.

2:38:44 And so those stories are that, you know, he's insane. He needs to be impeached. You mean the story has depth? Russia, Russia, Russia. Yeah. Well, same goes because I know it does not fit the story, the narrative, whatever you want to call it. is this rift in the Middle East with Qatar. And no agenda listeners know exactly what's going on, but everyone is saying, oh, yes, terrorism, Qataris are the finance of... We all know finance is a terrorist. We know it's the Saudis. But this is not about terrorism, this rift. And to me, it sounds like Trump is behind this. And the reason why it can't be discussed is the following.

2:39:32 Qatar, the whole Syria issue is about competing pipelines. One, and Syria has the port, and the idea was natural gas from Iran through Iraq into Syria into Russia's port off to Europe. And Russia is always looking for new ways to be the supplier to the biggest customer, which is the EU, which is Europe in general. Qatar shares an oil field with a lot of enemies, a lot of animosity between Qatar or Qatar and Iran. You have to look at the map to see where all these places are and look where Saudi Arabia is in respect to this. And the Qataris wanted a pipeline going up through Syria into Turkey and then it would go into Europe.

2:40:19 And that has been the problem as Assad said, yeah, you know, it's cool. No, I don't think so. I'll take this pipeline. And then we have this crap going down. Now to thwart any of this is in a roundabout way, is it now supporting Putin? Are the Saudis now supporting Putin? You have to know and you have to listen to CBS report. I've got two clips, which is the Qatar CBS and the Qatar 2. And it they can't seem to want to deal with the pipeline stuff because it's too complex. It doesn't feed into the right narrative. That's the Russia. Yeah, Russia, Russia, Russia and impeach, impeach, impeach. Yeah.

2:41:13 CBS News has learned this evening that Russian hackers are suspected of interfering with a news site in the Gulf state of Qatar and may have put out fake information that helped spark a diplomatic crisis. A number of Arab nations have cut diplomatic and commercial ties with Qatar and here is Margaret Brennan. President Trump appeared to take credit for sparking the diplomatic crisis. In a series of tweets, the president said his recent visit to Saudi Arabia was paying off as the kingdom and nine other countries severed relations with Qatar for allegedly funding radical ideology. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. This is like really a sick interpretation by CBS. He made that tweet, I remember it, because they did this huge military deal. Yeah.

2:42:04 That's what he meant by it's paying off. But they just twisted it right before our very eyes to make it sound like it's paying off so we can screw Cutter. Why? Why are they saying that? Why are they doing that? No, no, I'm saying why would Why would Trump go all the way to Saudi Arabia to screw Qatar in their world? I mean, they don't even explain it. I mean, there could be reasons, but they're like mixing this and that. This is like this kind of, you know, it's like a, it's just like they chop stuff up and then they re, you know, they just keep shuffling cards and they, oh, here's a good clip. Let's make it about something else. I got both. I got an idea.

2:42:47 Make it about hacking, Russian hacking. Barking the diplomatic crisis. In a series of tweets, the president said his recent visit to Saudi Arabia was paying off as the kingdom and nine other countries severed relations with Qatar for allegedly funding radical ideology. That is really quite bizarre that they just twist that. But the president made no mention of that last month when he met with the Qatari emir, instead offering to sell him weapons. Lots of beautiful military equipment. During that trip, the president vowed to unify the Muslim world against terrorism and Iran. But tension spiked in the past 24 hours, with countries in the region closing their airspace to Qatari planes, blocking trade and cutting diplomatic ties, sparking Qataris to stockpile food.

2:43:36 The US launches airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq from a base in Qatar. The tiny Gulf Emirate hosts around 10,000 US troops. That's one reason Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has tried to de-escalate the crisis. We certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together and address these differences. Now it goes on, but let's just listen to what they said so far. Jeff Begay. Which makes no logical sense. Okay. Somehow the Russian hackers screwed up some news stories, but Trump was behind that too somehow because after all he had said that things are going great. He told them, he told them, go hack Russia.

2:44:19 And meanwhile, of course, he'd been to Qatar and he sold them something, I guess, beautiful. They put a really kind of an evil clip in there. It just suddenly I heard it where he said, beautiful war machines. And, which I just thought was chicken shit, but that's okay. And then they never do the...this is a who, what, when, where, and why with no why. There was no explanation except it starts with Russian hackers and ends up with Trump somehow wanting this with no explanation. And everybody knows Saudi Arabia is the big funders. In fact, RT did a little report on this. I didn't clip it, I don't think.

2:44:55 But they went on and on ridiculing how stupid the idea was because Saudi Arabia is really the big funders more than Qatar. And it's just...this is the one of the...again, another example of CBS not being...you know, just doing destructive reporting with no...with just...I mean, if anybody just thinks about these reports, they go, this doesn't make any sense. I'm gonna go to part two. Well, first we'll do that. I saw it in your clip list. I like it. They're using that to, this is the RT new transition. It's just, they're using it too much. I kind of like that. Yeah. Yeah, it's not bad. Let me try it again. Yeah, it's pretty good. Jeff Begay is in the Washington newsroom. And yesterday, US Ambassador Dana Smith praised Qatar's great partnership in countering terrorist financing.

2:45:54 Smith has broken with the president before, lamenting last month on Twitter that it is increasingly difficult to spend the day explaining our democracy and institutions. Today, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert tried to soften the president's comments on Qatar. They have made progress, but they still have work to do. More work needs to be done. Smith is not the only frustrated long-term diplomat, but Scott, while President Trump wants his own nominees in place, he's only appointed 11 ambassadors to fill 188 empty State Department slots. Margaret Brennan at the State Department, thanks. In Paris today, a man attacked a police officer with a hammer. It was stand-ended, I don't know why that was there.

2:46:40 A couple of things. One, they twist the report to make it sound like it's because he doesn't have the right ambassadors, even though this ambassador they quoted I mean, this was the most, this report was terrible. They take stuff out of context. They say the ambassador had to explain how our democracy works as if this is really trying to explain why Trump's in office. I mean, it's innuendo and all this other crazy stuff. This Scott Pelley does have to go. Now that said, they did introduce in this clip, Heather. Yes.

2:47:16 And so I have some clips from, but I didn't put them on this show, but Heather is the new girl, the new girl who's flirting with Matt. Yes, yes, yes. And I saw Jen on the panel on CNN yesterday. Yeah, she's on the panel and she must be jealous because Heather is prettier. What's Heather's last name? Something crazy. Heather... It starts with an N and some crazy name. It doesn't even seem like a real name. But you can put Heather State Department's spokesperson. Heather Nowart. Nowart. And she has a binder.

2:47:56 that is the size of a bookcase. It's bigger than the other guys. Oh, it's way bigger. And she she's constantly fiddling with it. And she goes right to somebody asked a question. She goes to the tab. She's looking and looking. It takes her sometimes two or three minutes. Flip, flip, flip, flip. I'll bring some clips for the next show. I like I like her hair. This is an appropriate length for her. It's more modern. Yeah. And we're only discussing this as television professionals, television producers. Right. Because I keep seeing Dana Perino on the Foxes and she has her hair really long and it's completely ruined any look she had. She looks bland, not just bleh. I agree 100%. Dana Perino needs to cut her hair, give herself a pixie look. And I really like Gilfoyle when she parts her hair off to the side.

2:48:48 That's a good look for her. Yeah, that's a good much softer Not, you know, not so Barbie dolls. Well, Perino definitely needs to work on her hair. And there at Fox, they got them showbiz people that they should fix her up. And these dresses, it looks like she's wearing a harness. When she sits down, they shift up, you know, and it should be like flush with her skin against her, you know, her armpits and everything and her neckline. And it's not. It's just, it's like she's wearing a harness and sitting down at the round table. Well, they probably fired the dressers. No, they got no more money. Wardrobe! Wardrobe! I'm sure they don't, you know, I noticed when I was at Tech TV, the first people that they fired were the makeup people, which is always the first to go. Always the first to go. Anyway, so this Heather, she's fiddling around, she goes through the, and then she finds the document, she'll read it. She does a really good job of reading. It sounds like she's talking. She's not. She's reading from press releases and she's

2:49:42 somewhat flirtatious with Matt, which is a plus. And she's very pleasant and she doesn't, she's not like the other two women that were there under Obama. And I guess whoever's running the State Department at the time. Thanks, Obama. Yeah, it was. They were condescending. This woman is very natural and she seems very nice. I must admit, I had kind of given up on Matt and the whole State Department briefings. I'm going to get back into it now. I'm back on the beat. And that's not because of it's it's because of Heather, you know, she's she's flirting with Matt. We need to document not She says she's not gonna do a daily which Matt wants I'm sure he does So he's gonna do it twice a week. I do it twice a week Yeah, Thursday and Tuesday and then you'll have she'll be on today Really? And I think I think this is a good choice. I

2:50:32 Yeah, I have not seen her. I've seen her but not really in the context of regalia. Yeah, when you see her you're gonna go, oh okay, this is more like it. Except for that binder. She's obviously not gonna do off-the-cuff remarks except rarely. I have one more thing. By the way, the last thing I should mention, the place was packed to the gills. You know, we watch the State Department. No, they're not. No, people are half asleep. It's like dull. But this was packed to the gills. Excellent. I'm back on the beat. Back on the beat. I mean, we have I have twice the amount of show. We're gonna have to move a lot toward to Sunday. But I did want to ask you, do you know without looking it up? Do you know the name of the new Apple product that was announced?

2:51:26 It's funny because Horowitz and I talked about this on DH Unplugged, about the Apple announcements. And all I remember is that they have a new pad that's a pound. You saw the speaker thing for your home. Yeah, I did. Do you remember the name? No, and I think that's a flaw. Thank you. You ask anyone, they'll say iHome or whatever, and even though iHome exists, Apple could buy that company and poop them out and not give a crap, almost. It's called the HomePod. The stupidest name- This, to me, is the pivot. This is where Apple went completely off the deep end. HomePod. I don't care about what it does, what it can do. You break the i brand, you broke it.

2:52:17 and you make it into a pod? No. This is very, very poor branding, poor marketing, and brought to you by a very unenthusiastic kind of guy. It's a short apple, I say. Well, it's gonna be a while. I think when the market turns around, which should be within the next 12 months, I mean, I don't mean turn around a little bit. I mean, turn around, a Dow down 30%. Yeah, yeah, which will happen. Yes, well it's bound to happen, it happens all the time. Why wouldn't it happen? And so when that happens, I believe Apple should draw, I have to number someplace, I was doing some research on where Apple's gonna head because long-term puts are very attractive. Which is the easiest way to follow. And also, what phrase did Apple, because I watched the whole thing and it was very boring to me and I've been a Mac guy all my life, Apple guy I should say.

2:53:17 Although I've recently started using Windows, Windows 10, for specific applications and I find myself on Windows 10 a lot more. It's just snappy, it's, you know, it doesn't, it's kind of not offensive. But the thing they said, oh I didn't clip it, over and over, machine learning. This is the buzzword, John, machine learning. You didn't catch that, huh? I did kind of catch it. I mean, there's been so much of that, that term's been used so much in the industry all around. Everybody's all jacked up about it. Meanwhile, they, yeah. That I just, I guess I didn't know. Meanwhile, they changed their entire podcasting app. They're changing the way feeds are made, I think, because, you know, I don't want to be arrogant.

2:54:09 But, you know, how- you guys know where I am. How hard would it be to ping me and say, hey, take a look at this. You know, do you have any input? You know, I'm sure they didn't reach out to Dave Weiner. But no. They're just- they're changing the- I don't know if it's- I'm sure they'll- it'll be backwards compatible, but you know how that goes. For how long? And then we all have to switch to Apple's frickin' format. Maybe that's why they didn't show it to me. Maybe. I don't like it. I don't like it. I'm getting that impression. It's not a personal thing. It's just, you know, we let these guys into our game because, you know, and it was kind of sad from the get-go because Apple's like, yeah, podcasting! And then, you know, they flooded the whole podcastosphere with NPR and other mainstream 5M content.

2:55:07 Yeah, but they support everybody and now I don't know you know it's all a part of the mp3 is dead That's gonna. It's a good all we all got to be Apple a AC and their special feeds well I'm gonna find him to protect content. I'm gonna fight against it. I'm not gonna. I'll have none of it All right three minute warning Wow ah Tucker with Mark Stein Yeah, I get the Tucker with Mark Stein. Who is this guy? I like he's he's Candanavian. No Oh Mark Stein has been around the the right wing talk Sphere or talkosphere talkosphere

2:55:49 Talkosphere. He's been around for decades. He's incredibly erudite and he's, I think he's got a couple degrees or something. He's very hard to debate. The girls love him. He's got that kind of faux British accent, kind of an in-between Canadian. He's a Canadian but he's got a British accent. The girls love him, man. They love him. So Mark, here you have a president who invited Al Sharpton to the White House as a domestic policy advisor more than 80 times, lecturing us about ethnic politics and tribalism. Like self-awareness somehow doesn't exist for this guy?

2:56:26 No, he always does this bloodless Mr. Spock routine that everyone else is motivated. I think they showed Obama in Canada just before this piece with Stein and yeah, Obama was, he was, when you think about it, he is totally doing a Spock. Bloodless Mr. Spock routine that everyone else is motivated by emotions and opinions and he He is the only one who uses reason and logic, and he does this whole kind of dispassionate thing. Apparently there's a big market for it in Montreal. Six thousand people showed up to hear this speech.

2:57:07 I think there's never been a better time to be a unilingual francophone in Quebec, because everything he said was a condescending, superior put-down of the world he left behind, essentially. Well, that's really the question. Does he understand the world he left behind? He hates Donald Trump. Donald Trump got elected because of Barack Obama. I wonder if he knows that. Pfft. The world has gone nuts, man. I tell you. Well, here's the Obama, clips of the Obama ramble, which was preceded this little thing you played, where I just thought it was priceless the way Tucker comes out of it. The world is at an inflection point. We are going to be inviting in those who argue that democracy doesn't work, that restrictions on the press are necessary, and that intolerance and tribalism and organizing ourselves along ethnic lines are the answer to today's challenges.

2:58:07 and extreme nationalism and xenophobia and the politics of us versus them. Isolationism or nationalism where they can suggest rolling back the rights of others. Openness to immigrants and refugees, that's fundamental to who we are. I'm convinced that the future does not belong to strong men. Blah blah blah blah blah. Is that where it came from? Blah blah blah blah. Yeah, it was good. It was good. It was funny. Yeah, no, I look I'm just gauging Tina. She she loved you know she loves she loves Tucker well not loves Tucker but she really likes Krauthammer and who's the guy with the long head? Hume. Brit Hume.

2:58:54 Oh, Brydgium, yeah. And I have to say, because I watch all of it, Jesse Waters is doing a pretty good job on the five, which is hard to watch. It's just... It's because they're just... I don't know, that glib style of right winger that is just really hard to watch. And then they throw the token token in there. He's a double token. He's a Democrat and black. It's fantastic. If you're gay and Jewish, it'd be even better. Token, token, token, token. It would be good. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. But it's like, come on already. He's a little, he has that same kind of arrogance. What's his name again? What's his name again? Yeah. What's his name? That's his name. Yeah. That guy. Bernard Shaw. Whatever happened to Bernard Shaw? George Bernard Shaw. He died a long time ago. No, no, no. Bernard Shaw. Remember he was the big CNN host. Yeah.

2:59:44 Yeah, I don't know maybe just went away. I have three possible last clips, okay I'll take anyone, but if we're voting what do you got I got the CBD story the spelling bee girl Which is a cute human interest story, but we can play that later the AT&T scams customers like the old days it has to be the scam clip A growing number of cell phone customers are complaining they're being moved to new more expensive plans without their permission. Julie Watts has the story of one man's surprise switch.

3:00:20 In January that I started getting the text messages and Al Stilo quickly realized his granddaughter's phone was to blame But just as he was about to double his family plans data limit for an extra 10 bucks a month He says the rep offered a better solution. She said I can do something to slow down her daddy usage and it won't cost you anything Al agreed to give it a try but when he opened his next bi The plan had been changed out to a new mobile share doubled the base price of fees. And when he called t AT and T explained once y go back. I didn't authoriz

3:01:02 We requested wireless complaint data from the FCC regarding switching phone plans without permission. AT&T accounts for more than 37% of all complaints, Verizon a close second at 25, Sprint accounts for 22%, and T-Mobile 15. Less than 10% of the people actually file complaints. Anna Montes of the utility watchdog group TURN says this type of thing happens more than most realize. Part of the reason for wanting to switch people to new plans is because the phone companies does make more money off a customer. In a statement, AT&T said, As for Al, I just felt that I was being handled very poorly. Now after we got involved AT&T did credit his account and switch him back to his old grandfathered plan. In San Francisco, I'm Julie Watts. Wow. Alright John, you gotta say it. It's a scam. Now this is...

3:02:02 More or less, these guys' mentality, this is they...what are we gonna do now that we can't slam our customers, which is what it was called. It's called phone slamming, yeah. Phone slamming, so they put you on these plans that you didn't want, you never ordered, and they said, well, we're gonna record this just in case, and people wouldn't do anything about it. These guys are criminals. I'll say. They're crooks. Yes. They're breaking the law. And then you have guys that do customer service, guys say, oh, well, you switched. We tricked you into it, but you can't switch back. That's bull crap. You can switch back. Why can't you switch back? Whose rule is this? So they can't even, these guys are dishonest. I really don't dislike these companies and I wish they would throw some of these CEOs in jail for a weekend. I mean, they're not gonna get them years and years sentences that they need. There you go, everybody.

3:02:54 Nothing like a JCD rant at the very end of the show. It's a scam. It's a scam All right, everybody. We will be back on Sunday with another Jam-packed episode of the best podcast in the universe we continue to guard your reality as best as possible Despite the syphilis getting harder by the day. I Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, here in the common law condo in the Cluedio. FEMA Region 6 on the governmental maps in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where... By the way, did anyone notice that the Warriors won the AIM 3 and this thing and maybe just sweep the entire playoffs? Well, I did. I'm John C. Dvorak. We will return on Sunday right here on No Agenda. Adios, mofos!

3:04:05 Don't worry, be happy Having a gin and tonic with my friends, flirting with handsome men, hanging out with brilliant women is what offends these people so much. I'm going to do it more pain. These people don't give a shit about the environment. They came for the simulator. Like, I could stop the simulation. I can't. Hey, anything for science. And they came for the simulator. We are free for this free world in their own feeble minds. We, of course, move forward to raise our roads, put in ponds. Oh, I know, I had to.

3:06:07 The only thing you can do is... I can't stop it. The hair equality goes and we're going to go after it. And therefore the alleged climate benefits... Well, I was having dinner with an Australian like... Every country meddles up with this. I mean, it's a good breed of science. The internet and Pakistan or Africa or whatever, like... It's great. It's come together and say we're going... I can't stop this. Like, I... Meddles up with nations according to... I feel so great about... Global average temperature less than 210 degrees. Pakistan or Africa? It's climate benefit. The end of space needs to be bringing London and... ...infra-science. The emergency services were just phenomenal. Some point you have to learn from. Cowardly, evil people. They're not meeting their obligations, we just read it's obligations.

3:06:50 On the streets of Manchester have inspired us to read more or less whatever. Flabbergasting. Well, it could start the simulation. I can't stop. I can't stop. Kiwis and Aussies have asked Adam to please come visit us here in the Antipodes. So he's agreed to sojourn to the ends of the earth. New Zealand, Australia on a trip with no Perth. From the top of MT to Tassie below.

3:08:06 Queensland, South Australia, he'll livestream our show. And while Sydney and Melbourne still argue who's best, the folks who miss out, they all live in the West. Now Adam's our mate, and I'm sure there's a reason, cos on a podcaster's wage, you have to travel off-season. And the logistics to traverse Australia's wide girth Is probably why he's not visiting Perth Like a life without bacon, or a pub with no beer And all the sad things I could be listing off here

3:09:08 But I wrote this jingle for some laughter and mirth And call Adam Douchebag, but not visiting Perth Call Adam Douchebag, but not visiting Perth Douchebag! I got ants I got ants

3:09:50 I don't know if we had ants. We had ant invasion. I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine, fine grind black pepper, we were having dinner and yeah! I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it. These things are peppery. I got ants. I got ants. These ants, they don't need a lot. And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you. I'm gonna back them off by doing the burning trick. You just torch them. And you leave them there. The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch, and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back. I got ants. I got ants. I got ants.

3:10:59 I got ants. Ants. Ants. Ants. Oh my! Oh, they're not that bad! Adios, mofo. Blah blah blah blah blah.
