It's as phony as it comes. Bangin' home base and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in downtown Austin, Tejas, in the Cluedio. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm fresh back from a great meetup in Oakland, I'm John C. DeVore. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Fresh back. Fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh back. You mean yesterday? And guess what? What?
Just as we're just as we're finished finishing the opening here it comes Yes, I got nine car train with no attachments I don't I don't know why we're doing this but we're doing it I'm quite sure why we're trying to beat this effort to the punch This is the best podcast in the universe. You're no agenda show we do the show twice a week on Thursdays and today is the Thursday Sunday and for some reason we try to beat the The Zephyr. We try to beat the Zephyr and every day is a Thursday apparently. At least it's working for me. It's working for me. I honestly sometimes really don't know what day of the week it is. I get confused. Well, this is kind of a screwball thing because you don't have the same, it's very unro, you know, it's not rotational. It's just like your two days and you got three days off and then two days and then you get it. Yeah. I also have a little bit of an aversion against the date because I live by these dates.
All the show notes, every folder with clips, every show notes, the mp3 itself is all in the format of na-episode number-year-month-day. And I literally see my life passing before my eyes when I do the show. And the older I get, the more annoying it becomes. The older I get, it's like every time, no, it's September, what? We're almost in October? What? I went to visit Christina before I left. 28, man, she's hanging out with her friends. Like, what am I even doing here? What are you gonna do, hang out with a bunch of 28-year-olds? Is that what you're angling for? Yeah, I did. It was fun. I was hanging out with the 28. I learned a lot. I learned a lot. What do you think you're gonna, what's this old man doing here? I learned about the Pluto in Scorpio kids, hmm?
Bet you haven't heard of that, huh? Alright, so you got your millennials, right? And after that, you know, like from 95 you got your Generation Z. But there's this apparent, and it's a thing, you can bing it, there's the Pluto and Scorpio kids born between 85 and 95, it's just one decade, and they are the ones who are supposed to be the leaders who show the path for these other generations who are so Misguided and ill yeah, I don't know what they call him. I mean, I guess you'd call it that would be JC Buzzkill Jr. Exactly it's it's but it's apparently he acts like that Like he's hey. I'm here to save y'all damn it Yeah, like your buddy Beto down there
Oh, Beto, is it Beto? Beto. I don't know, Beto, Beto, you say tomato, I say Beto. I saw a little bit of the debate and I noticed you had clips. I'm very pleased you do because you having clips of a Republican debate in Texas means it must have been pretty funny or worthwhile listening to at minimum. No. No? No! This Beto guy. It was interesting because he's well if we want to start with that or we want to start with your report from Europe, I think yeah, yeah, we can get into this but I do have a lot of opinions about this little Texas thing going on down there. Okay, I don't have much of a report but just a couple things that I picked up on there. There is such a problem and I'll just call it a Moroccan problem in the Netherlands.
And when I tell people about what's happening with the Moroccans, they're like, wow, the immigration really messed up the Netherlands. And I had to think about it and say, no, hold on. They had specific Moroccan immigration from 96 or 97, because I'll recall moving back to the Netherlands and Pim Fortuyn was just coming up. And I was like, holy crap, something's happened here. The Netherlands are really more like a beta program for all other EU countries for this type of immigration. But I really noticed it when I was staying with my buddy after the show on Thursday. He said, well, you're hungry, want to get something? Yeah, I want some shawarma because I can't be in Holland without having some shawarma. Which is made by... Explain. Shawarma is a pita bread and it's very old. It's been around in the Netherlands for 40 or 50 years. Originally Ben Cohen, my buddy in Amsterdam, he was one of the first to set it up. So you got a big hunk of lamb's meat and it's on the rotating spit vertically.
And it's all about the special... It's different than a gyro? It's very different from a gyro. And it's all in the herbs and then you eat that with a red kind of salsa sauce and on top of that a white garlic sauce. It's a very Dutch thing, particularly later at night if you've gone out... It's not Middle Eastern. It is, but it's very Dutch. I don't want to condemn the Dutch cuisine, but it's all stolen. Oh yeah, the Dutch, their cuisine is potatoes. It's potatoes. Potatoes and some, a little bit of meat and fish on Friday. Yeah, that's the Dutch. The Dutch have no cuisine. Yeah, of course it's all stolen, but so we were in Laaren, which is one town over from Hilversum. Hilversum is... Cultural appropriation. Oh yeah, the Dutch are filled with that.
But the mosque, the mosque have been blasting at 110 decibels for decades in Holland. And people, you know, the Dutch people are very willing and you know they kind of got suckered into it but now they're realizing it's the beta program. My buddy said well it's in Hilversum, we'll have to go over the highway. I'm like it's the next town over. No, no, he was driving a Mercedes which he borrowed. And he said, I can't drive this car through there on a Thursday night. It's too... we could get carjacked. Are you kidding me in Hilversum? Where I used to work, where I did television and radio from, you know, for years in my younger days? He says, yep, that's how bad it's gotten. And it's... so it's this very odd, you know, situation that you don't recognize the country.
Then in the news, a lot of talk and it's kind of filtering through to M5M about how the Dutch and paperwork is now coming up and there's, you know, the Dutch equivalency of Freedom of Information Act being filed and responded to. It appears the Dutch finance not just a lot of the White Helmets activity in Syria, but also a lot of the, let's just call it, the coup in Kiev. that there was a lot of Dutch money financing the shenanigans that went on there and now people are speaking about... What? Yes! Speaking about... You think that could account for the shoot-down? You know, would you think? Would you think? And so people are now saying, hey, you know, what are we? Are we part of, you know, the American regime toppling network? Well, yes, indeed. The Dutch...
The toppling network. ATN, the American Toppling Network. That's a network you can monetize if you're in the right camp. Wait, so now the US apparently are in a deal with the Netherlands for US intelligence and military to access sovereign Dutch ground sovereign territory at any time including Curacao which is important because if you look at the map Curacao is down there you know above Venezuela and you know northern Africa not that far from Libya so you know there's a lot of different reasons why they could be strategically interesting. Venezuela, Libya there's no nowhere near each other what are you saying here? Did I say Libya? I meant Venezuela not Libya. Venezuela
Yeah, okay. It's right underneath Curacao. Hold on, let me look at the map for a sec. What else is near there? Hold on. I don't think I'm that far. Let me see what else is near there. Let's see. Well, Colombia's next to it. I don't know where Curacao is. Yeah, Colombia's next to it. Curacao's a little bitty operation up north. It's right off of... Yeah, it's right above... kind of northeast, I guess. No, northwest. You got Aruba, Curacao. Yeah, you got Colombia. You got a lot of important stuff there. Anyway, now it turns out that the Dutch may be joining the Five Eyes. What? Yeah. I don't know if it'll be Six Eyes or Five Eyes and a toenail. Six Eyes would be Cross Eyes. Five Eyes and a broken toenail. I'm not quite sure what they're going to call it.
But yeah, oh, this is like an international network of intrigue. Uh-huh. Well, we always knew the Dutch were kind of less of this not more but the Kiev thing you nailed it It's like hold on a second what got shot down a flight full of Dutch people You gotta think something's weird. Something weird is happening somebody on that flight. We have never really have we ever looked at the manifest? Oh Yes, there were the only thing that really popped up at the time if I recall was about five doctors who were on the way to an alternative medical summit where they were they cured AIDS. Yeah, I don't know. I just always wonder about this. You know, they did the opportunity for these these spooks to kill a plane full of passengers to get to get to one. Yeah, to get to one has happened. Mm hmm.
I have to call my friend King Lex ask him what's going on. Hey King I'm sure he knows all about it. Let me see what else did I learn? Oh, I learned that the children Do you think that maybe you know you to talk about this being a the Dutch? Being the beta test for this. Let's bring a bunch of Africans in from the north areas and some other Middle Easterners, you think that maybe the entire diversity movement which began about 20 years ago was a pretext just to get people kind of just like to saw it, you know, like their body punches, the diversity body punches to get people to get them, soften them up and get them ready for it. Move these guys in there. Sure.
But the sad thing is that just it's so over accepted now that you know now that people are kind of on to it like wait a minute this isn't quite working out very well for us. It's way too late. Yes, too late. You've got you've got you know the immigrant Moroccans now the second or third generation they're in parliament. They are part of the political system now. Well, as well they should be if they're running the place. Yeah, yes, but some of the dare I say old white Dutch people are going what happened? Well, it's the old white Dutch people that let it happen. Yeah. Well, so what are you gonna do? Let me see what oh I learned The kids these days love the theremin however They showed me their instrument of choice when it comes to the theremin something you will have to bing to go look at some YouTube videos and
The Badgerman. The Badgerman? Yes. B-A-D-G-E-R-M-I-N. You should probably Bing that and you'll see what the Badgerman is and I think I need one. I don't know if you can buy them off the shelf. You probably do need one. I don't know if you can buy them off the shelf or if you have to construct it yourself but I really like the idea. Do you have it yet? Did you find it? No. Well, if I tell you then it's not as funny. I'm not sitting here with a keyboard and a hand-raised. Here's one. It's a little movie, The Badgerman. Yes, Badgerman. Badgerman played properly. It looks like a theremin. It's got the two hands. Yeah, but... The guy's dicking around. Instead of a theremin, it's a badger. Instead of a thera, it's a badger? Yeah, instead of a theremin, so instead of a board, they took a dead badger and mounted a theremin on it. Oh, there's a badger there.
They stuck a thing in his head. They created... This is not for sale. I don't know. I want one though. It's listed on the Classic FM website as one of the 13 weirdest musical instruments ever. What, the Badgerman or the Theremin? The Badgerman. I just liked it. Like, okay. Anyway, so we had it, you know, of course Tina had already gone off to be with her sisters and family. And so I got home, when I tried, Saturday morning I flew back.
And, uh, pretty uneventful. I'm tired though. It was groggy this morning getting... Oh, by the way, when you're boarding, they always have the pre-boarding stuff. Yeah. And, you know, it's people with kids, it's been expanded now to... Well, you always have, no matter what airline it seems to be... But it depends on the carrier. But the kids always go first. Young children go first on almost every carrier. No, not on Southwest. Yes, on Southwest. No, on Southwest they go after the A group. Between the a and the real group the kids go on yes, okay? Well you know who always also on Southwest gets to go on first is active military
I've always wondered what is active military? Do you have to like be in combat fatigues? Do you have to have your weapon with you? What is active? You have to be ready to gun down people right there. They say active. You have to be active. You have to be hauling some artillery onto the plane. I don't know what, matrial. Here I am with my carry-on matrial. What is this active military bullcrap? It's either military or not active. That just hit me all of a sudden. What is going on with this? Well, what it's a misnomer. What it means is that you're currently serving and you're going from place to place, but you're in the military. I mean, that is your current job. Yes. OK, well, that's my guess. It just sounds a little strange. It does. It sounds like you're going to be shooting up to place. Yeah, it does. The only other thing I'd like to mention off the top, just as a quick dip into the OTG world,
Something I noticed with the Kyocera, and I think I have a theory as to why it was happening, the battery would not last as long as it does here in the States. I'm talking like really losing 5% an hour. Okay, not even using it just it being stationary. Yeah, somebody's tapping into it No, that was my first inclination. That'd be mine I believe they use different frequencies in the EU for their 4g lt or 4g I don't think you think you should choose a more juice Yeah, I think maybe because of maybe some interpretation of the radio or I don't know how it's built but that is a problem because it's It's not gonna fly to have it, you know
Basically work a couple hours and then have need to be charged. Well, you flop the battery out Can you you can but you know, so then yeah, I got an extra battery, but still it's going too fast It's going too fast and that's what I didn't using it. You should look into it. Yeah Well, I thought I want to say something now that you mentioned it that the fact that you can't flop the battery out swap. Oh From you know like take three or four batteries with you and the thing goes dead you put a new one in the fact that you can't do that on most phones today is a is an Abomination it's a communist plot. It's an abomination it is I'm in total agreement
So but someone one of our producers did find another phone which you know this damn Kai OS which I really liked so you have the cat b35 mobile phone, which is they are now selling as You know a feature phone with some smartphone capability ie you know you have a modern browser but now Google bought them I think we may have discussed this Google bottom and Here it is. Get ready for Cat B35. Perfect for those who need a reliable and tough phone, but also some of the functionality of a smartphone. And so now they've put in Google Assistant. I don't think you can get that out of it if they've put it in at the operating system level.
You don't want that. No, it's an atrocity. It was a good operating system. I had a lot of hope for those guys and then they sold out to Google. Bastards. You know the money is there and it's like what would you do? I do the same. It's like the Borg. We'd both do the same thing. Yeah, screw it, sell it to Google. Let's go eat oysters. Let's go to Paris. Let's go see Pierre. Let's have our hair done. It's like the podcast network that got sold to, wait for it, iHeartRadio. Aren't they broke? Yeah, they're about to go completely belly up as far as I can tell. I mean, I don't know how they're still holding on. But yeah, there's $55 million. They probably put that much into it.
Yeah, some of these deals are just pretty much plain poker. Yeah. Anyway, none of that is really important. What hit me on the flight home is learning of your unceremonious dismissal by email from some winky wonk from your 35, 36 year vocation as writer. Have you been writing for PCMag for 36 years? No. Actually, I started in August 1986 and I was continuous ever since. I was going for the record. So how many years is that? 30? About 32. Over 30. And so I'm going for the record because I know these other guys have been, you know, they've faded out. They couldn't handle it. Which other guys? Which other guys? Oh, I mean all the other guys died.
Back up and explain what happened just so people have some context. Yes, I got fired out of the blue or actually technically I got put on a hiatus which we all know. We all know what that means. Half a brain knows what that means. Although it's not it we do have a contract my wife of course is gonna give him grief because there was a contractual Obligation to send us our thing in writing and all they're screwed. Oh the divorce Oh, yeah, I don't know Mimi's And there's no such thing as hiatus in the contracts, it's bullcrap. But they got some new, became a social justice warrior. If you looked at the newsletter, I have a few of her many tweets about Trump's a dumb.
And she said, you know, he's a moron and it's all the same. It's just might as well put the name Rob Reiner on there. You got the same kind of. So I realize that everybody in New York is like this. Well, but not only that, you wrote something. In the newsletter about this which I did not realize and I don't think we've ever even discussed that you had tried to Get PC magazine to at least mention the no agenda show whenever they did one of those lists of great podcasts to listen to and I'd which I did not yet know you had attempted to do but they Refused apparently or just would never never put us on anywhere. They're only gonna put us on it. I
And they get a lot of lame podcasts on that list. It's a very poorly done list, but it's done by one of the... The problem is, this stuff is all... I know how these magazines work. So you give it to a couple of people, they make a list and put it in the next issue. Yeah, we've done that. And they put their favorite things on the list and they got, you know, what about Dvorak? You know, he works for us. You know, he's got a podcast. He's got two of them actually. When you listen to him, that guy's like a lunatic. Oh, right. Loony. It's right, right, right-winger Trump apologist. But there's none of that in the DHM plug show. They could have put that in there. That's a pretty well-recognized… Well, considering, you know, PCMag often links to stock quotations, I would say it would be… was that MarketWatch more? I guess MarketWatch is that… That was MarketWatch. PCMag never did that.
Anyway, the whole point is, look, it feels a bit like me at MTV at a certain point, seven and a half, eight years, and MTV is dog years, and my stay was kind of getting there, and that's why I eventually wound up leaving myself. Well, I would have loved myself. But I had the record to set. I was going for 40 years. At least 35. Well, besides that, it would have been nice if someone had, I don't know, called you? Yeah, nobody called to this day. In fact, I still haven't gotten a note from anybody. All I got was that first note from this woman, this SJW.
And, uh, and you sent the same note to everybody else too, by the way. There's two other, I know that, well, one for sure, Tim Baharan, who's also a columnist at PC Man. Is he also an old white man? He's an old, no, he's not white. He's kind of a mixed race guy. Oh, racism! But he's old and he's, he's a male. Well, hold on. Wait a minute. I feel a lawsuit. Well, it's hard to show over this sort of contract work. Anyway, so he got the exact same terse note and found it to be very offensive. And he never heard from anybody. So they just, I don't know what happened, but they've gone off the rails. I do have an email from someone that I thought was interesting. I think I have it here, hang on. This is actually quite a fascinating note this guy wrote in.
Yeah, this is from this I'm probably gonna print this on one of the websites this is from We'll call him Peter I. It's a disgrace what PCMag did to you. Someone has spent such a long time in that place and with such a professional caliber as the one you hold should be treated with a whole lot more respect than that. Blatantly dismissive email. It talks volumes about the new editorial management staff and their values, but they don't care about their audience either. They disrespect them as much as they did you. I ditched my digital subscription to PCMag after
the turn to consumerism brought upon by an editorial change over a decade ago. Not long after, I also ditched the PCMag webpage over their incredible turn towards a Mac magazine done with barely any PC content whatsoever. The only thing that kept me visiting from time to time was your column and as you described in the newsletter, it was being hidden on purpose and had become a feat to find. To get more conversation topics with my son, I turned to a Ziff Davis sister online publication, IGN. At the time of that switch several years ago, I was aghast at how much PC related information I could find on that council and PC gaming site than on PCMag. Nowadays, IGN seems to have
given an amazing leap forward in the SJW arena and has surpassed PC Mag's cultural Marxists, leading at least by a year or two, going as far as baiting its readers with columns, articles, and opinion pieces that have absolutely nothing to do with gaming and everything to do with post-modernism to the point that I barely visit their place. Just yesterday, IGN was pushing Michael Moore's latest anti-Trump movie. What does that have to do with gaming? I have no idea. I gotta be honest with you I also kind of like all the hate comments about this particular story He doesn't been revelant for 20 years. He was wrong about everything It just keeps on going The same guys well
It sucks. It's not like we don't know that all things come to an end. Like, this show will eventually come to an end, by death more likely than anything, but... And it juries out on who's gonna die first. But you know, it's like... You start hanging out with those 28-year-olds. It'll happen quick. But you know, it's like, you know there's an end to everything, but just the... Just a call, you know, that's the part that I don't understand. Just like, hey, you know... I haven't been fired from too many jobs, but when I got, I do get fired. But I mean recently because of the magazine pullbacks. When I was writing for Forbes, and it's typical the way you do it is like, hey, it's like, it's like the office space, the Lumber guy.
Um, can you give us a call? Yeah, give us a call. I got a great talk. Yeah, that'd be great. And then they talked to you and they tell you, you know, you know, you can't do too expensive. And we're gonna go in another direction. I think I've even fired you once. Kind of didn't I had to fire you kind of at Mevio or something? You never fired me. You cut me back. I cut your salary. I cut your salary Hey old white man, guess what? We're going to deal because I was getting this ridiculous health insurance that apparently was costing the company $4,000 a month or something. Yeah, the health insurance was well worth I remember that Oh keep me on man for health insurance. Okay, well take care of it
Yeah, but that's how it goes. It's unfortunately, but at least I called you. I called you and said, hey, here's what's going down. And I told you what the story was. And you're like, oh crap, but okay. Because you're smart. You understand how things work. I was unceremonious of PC Mag. Yeah, I love you. I've canceled my subscription. A lot of people are writing notes to this Wendy woman. Oh gosh. And what's she gonna do? She's not gonna even read. We have to write notes to the CEO if you want to get any action. So I'll just tell people if you're gonna do anything. It's like it's meaningless. So yeah, the thing that is to me also entertaining is people say, well, do a value for value column like you guys don't know John. This is not gonna happen. There will be no value for value column. There will be no agenda magazine.
I have a good idea for a website. I'm probably going to do so and get to keep my the real loss for me is not like the PC Magazine. It's the moniker so I can get, you know, review products. Yeah, chicks. He had chicks man. They're flocking to the house. There's one outside now PC mag groupies, baby Anyway, so I'm gonna you can look for that in some time in the future Well since you brought up Michael Moore then let me kick it off with today's program up Pedro did what? You're right. All right. He was on Bill Maher this weekend. Promoting his new product. Apparently the movie is a complete, according to Hollywood Reporter and Variety, the movie is a complete tank. It's in the tank. Interesting. You know, when I was listening, because I have not seen it of course, when I was listening to this interview, I thought to myself, you know, this could be a shark jump moment for this guy.
And, well, I have a couple clips. I was fortunate enough to be able to catch the whole interview. He was the opening interview, which is usually about 10 minutes. The little bitty one in the front. Yeah, about 10 minutes. So I broke it down. And let's start off with an intro. And, you know, the movie is 11-9 instead of 9-11. I guess... Bad idea. Yeah, I don't think that was the best title choice either, but let's listen to the intro and they set this up a little bit and I can no spoiler here where the movie and everything this whole interview in fact is all about getting people to vote for Democrats in the midterms. And you have done it again, Maestro. I don't know how you keep doing it. You know, you do what journalism should do, which is you make what's important interesting. I like how first he's going to say you're like a journalist, but then later it's going to be to get people to vote Democrat.
Yeah, and compelling and you can't take your eyes off it and this movie first of all the title fell right in your lap there didn't it yeah he was appointed president right to 29 in the morning on 11 9 that's spooky 16 yeah, yeah, whoa spooky Is it are they like 11 nine truthers now is that a now a thing instead of a 9-11 truther? It's an 11-9 truther. It's so spooky. It fell in your lap. Yes. It was a prophecy It was the elders of Zion up there didn't it? Yeah, he was appointed president right to 29 in the morning on 11 9. It's spooky 16 The movie coming out right before the election obviously
You want that? Yeah, because he's a journalist. You know, he does what journalists don't do. You don't make any bones about it. You're a polemicist like I am. We want people to agree with our point of view. Yes. And vote. Like all journalists. And vote. And vote. Is that the main message you want to... What's the main thing you want people to come away knowing from this? It's not a democracy if you're sitting on the bench. Everybody has to get off the bench. Everyone has to participate. It's not a spectator sport. It's a republic. Right. And, and but what the movie shows and tries to explain as to why sometimes people stay on the bench. And, and I get into talking about this about the Democratic Party and, and it's a, it's a, it's a bit of a balancing act in this film because it's, you know, when I heard him say it's a bit of a balancing act in this film,
That to me was already a flag that said hmm this may not work out so well this I don't know why but to hear you say that Hollywood reporter says it's a dud Doesn't surprise me. ...in this film because, um, it's, you know, it's listed as Michael Moore's Trump film, but nobody wants to go to the theater and look at Trump for two hours. Yeah, I think that's exactly what your fans want to see. So I do a favor for the audience. I don't think you see him more than 20 minutes in the film. But it is about the Trumpian time in which we live. Okay, the Trumpian time. I think that's a mistake right there. We know Trump has ratings. We know it doesn't matter who's watching, they want to watch him. Isn't that what we've learned?
Yes, we've learned that we've learned a lot and I don't think this guy's learned anything in fact except I mean he was had a clue early on when he thought that Trump would win if you remember Mm-hmm. He said I think Trump's gonna win because I don't think they know anybody else is talking to the right people I don't think Hillary's got a chance he went on about this as you recall we played him his clips on the show and then Within a few weeks he backed off on it because I guess he got nothing but grief from all his Hollywood friends What are you saying this for Hillary's gonna win? She's gotta win this idiot wins. We're screwed so then they go he Changes his mind and went back into the wrong he went. I think he non-commercial direction right there now well
So he does talk about the Democrats as well, and he knocks Obama, which I didn't clip any of that, but he does some good Obama bashing. but also regarding the superdelegates situation and he's very clear about that and then you just when you kind of like okay he's got something good there then it's back to racist rhetoric. The DNC a few weeks ago they had a meeting and they said they got rid of the superdelegates but they didn't. People need to understand this. All they did was say the superdelegates cannot vote on the first ballot at the convention. After that, they can vote on every ballot and everything else. So they did not get rid of the superdelegates. And to the Republicans' credit, they actually don't have superdelegates. Whoever's at that convention is, you know, whoever is there to represent the white people that voted for them. Oh, there we go! There you go. I mean, isn't it? That's racist!
Those white people who voted for Trump. Does he ever look in the mirror and note that he's a white guy, an old white man? Not in this context. He's honorary black guy I guess. White people that voted for them. The white people deserve a party Bill. They're Americans too. That's how Trump won. He made his people feel like a minority. the American public, which is self-identified as white, 77% of the American public self-identifies. Including a lot of Hispanics. A lot of Hispanics, because of their Spanish descent, they consider themselves white. They don't consider themselves anything else. And for the Democrats to continuously insult this group of people,
over and over and over. What kind of a strategy is this? Well, if you want people to go to your movies, not a good one apparently. Trump won. He made his people feel like a minority. Right. They still think that. I mean, they think reverse racism is a bigger problem than racism. Wow! They think reverse racism is a bigger problem than racism. How about just racism, Bill? How about all racism? I'm flabbergasted by this guy. And let me ask you another question when it comes to elections. What is one of the big talking points of all parties, but specifically the Democratic Party? What is their issue with Republicans? It'll come up again. Campaign finance reform. Oh, there's money. Oh, it's too much money. Rich people putting money. Oh, we have to get rid of... Am I right or wrong on that?
It's one of their big issues that they never do anything about and in most instances the Democrats outspend the Republicans. They did so with Hillary versus Trump. Hillary outspent Trump by two, almost two to one, I think. I know it's more than that. Wait, wait, forget the spending. Forget the spending. Wait, but also Obama's a big, you know, huge... Forget that. How about just rich people? It's, oh, Koch brothers this, Koch brothers... They don't even put into... Oh yeah, no, the most rich people... Yeah, but they're complaining about the money. About people putting money into elections. That is the main beef. I've got to get rid of the money out of elections. Unless you're Bill Maher and put in a million dollars, then you're a hero. In this small little example, you see how sometimes the Democrats really screw it up. They're the party of the people. They should be there for the people. They should fight for the people. But the good news about this election in November is that people like myself and others, you've contributed to the DSCC. I'm still failing.
Where do you get this money? Because I... no divorces, no alimonies. Really. People ask me this all the time. No divorces, no alimonies, no kids. Right. Oh yeah, no kids, those horrible resources. No stupid hobbies like celebrities have. I don't collect fucking cars or motorcycles or paintings. I don't do coke or hookers. Oh really? No coke, Bill? Okay. No. All of the crazy shit that people do, I don't do. So I'm the Mets. So there's a lot of money that yeah, I'm Matt, but that's what I spend it on right
Which is okay, because if you're Bill Maher, then it's okay to spend a million dollars into politics. It's fine then. Right. That's what, because... Thank you for doing that. Thank you. And what I and others have done, have gone out and... Woo! Yeah! Yes! And let's go to more. And let's go to run for office. And by the way, that million looked sillier five weeks ago when I did it, because the Senate didn't look like it's in play. It is in play. It is very much in play. Yes, it is. It's in play! Thank goodness money changes elections. Remember he tried to recruit, uh... Steve Ballmer on the last episode of his show. More money, more money that we want into elections. Last clip, and this, I think this is borderline defamatory, maybe even, what's the word?
Maybe, maybe. Maybe libelous, yeah. I thought this went pretty far. And there's a smear campaign on the internet. So we're talking about, we're on to the Supreme Court nomination with Kavanaugh and Professor Ford. Yes, yes, for sure. And things go viral. And you know, we've become this death threat society. And you know, people say to me sometimes, oh, you know, do you think this could get violent? I think it is violent. But I also think that's Trump's next card to play. I've already seen him talking about it. If he's, if the Democrats take over, he says they're very violent people.
We're the violent people. You're the puppet. He turns it around. But that's what he has when the Mueller report comes out or when some other thing crashes down on him. He's the violent person. He's the sexual predator. Oh, totally. He is an admitted sexual predator. And I don't mean just Hillary Bush, Bob. You're the only person on TV who will state exactly what, you know, if you, if anybody is a public high school teacher in here, a public school teacher, if you, there's a law in the state of California and in most states that if, let's say, your 13 year old girl student comes to you and says, my dad keeps saying that if I weren't his daughter he'd be dating me. My dad said the other day that the thing that we have most in common is sex. This picture my dad wanted me to take with me sitting on his lap and kissing him. If you were a teacher and were given that, you were required by the law
to turn him in. Because he's a pedophile apparently, John. That's what I hear Michael Moore saying, he's a pedophile and he probably boffed Ivanka. I mean, he might as well just say that. But you've shown this on your show. He has done, he did this when she was a tween, when she was a teen. And he bragged about how voluptuous my daughter is and she's... Where did the ugly orange man... Show me on the doll where he touched you. Teenager... The thing is that we let him get away with this. The media let him get away with it. All his friends in the media. Let him get away with it? Les Moonvis. He was getting away with it? With what? Well, with pedophilia. With who? With his daughter!
What proof of there is this? He's just one of these loving, you've seen these guys in the past, you see a lot more than you do today. You look at some of these old TV shows, you can see that people are a little less reluctant to like hug a kid. What Michael Moore is saying is if you were a school teacher and Trump said these things... Yeah, he should have turned him in. Trump should have been turned in by now. And his friends let him get away with it and then he goes straight to Moonves who was far as I know was not Donald Trump's friend. Quite the opposite. Just because Moonves got kicked out for harassment and abuse doesn't necessarily make him a pedophile too. Tween when she was a teen and he bragged about how voluptuous my daughter is and she's a teenager. The thing is that we let him get away with it. The media let him get away with it. All his friends in the media, Les Moonves, Roger Ailes,
All the Bill O'Reilly's, the Matt Lauer's. I show this all in the film. The Matt Lauer's, oh yeah, was a big Trump fan. Bill Shine, who was the guy at Fox News when Roger Ailes was there covering Bill O'Reilly, now he's the advisor to Trump in the White House prepping Brett Kavanaugh, the Republican party. They're only six degrees from sexual harassment at that party. I don't know, if we were to count, it looks like a lot more left-leaning dudes have been locked up or kicked out for hashtag Me Too. Could just be me.
and they want to go after her now and they've given her until tonight or something like that. Well, right now I think when we're on the air. Because women love ultimatums. Especially those who have been victimized by men. Nothing like saying to a potential rape victim, you got until 10 o'clock to tell us about the rape. That's pretty much what the Democrats are asking for. Tell us about the rape, tell us about the death, the death threats that Kavanaugh bestowed upon you. And you know, both these guys are childless, so what would they know about calling someone a pedophile? What would they know about the love you might have for a child? How you can be proud for a child? Look, look, I love my kids, my kid's beautiful.
I wouldn't be dating her, but you know, I, okay, it's a TV show, you say something funky, but it wasn't a pedophilia, you know, pedophile remark. It's stupid. No, no, you guys are out of control, but you know, the more I listen to this stuff, I keep thinking to myself, is this going to cause a backlash at the polls? Well, how about the box office? It starts there. Well the box office he killed the box office. Oh, he did it the whole idea of the movie is nothing. It's just you killed the box office I thought it was a dud yeah, well he killed the box office But it was the do the movie have any legs to begin with as anybody is this anything that hasn't been rehashed a million times It's just a bunch of Trump hate you can go on Twitter and get it for free You don't have to pay the ten bucks to go see the movie Get it for free Free let me see Hollywood Reporter
Anyway, I'll look for it. It's been it came out a couple days ago. There was a headline I got them on their mailing list and they had Put it out and then it just got so 10 10 million opening week. No 10 million opening weekend. That's probably gonna be about it total. Yeah, I don't think it'll be much more no no no no shoot I is it confusing story anyway, I I don't think it's going to do... it just won't... it's like what I was telling you about Tina, you know, she... regardless of politics, she doesn't want to hear what Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the billionaire, has to say about Trump. She wants her to be funny on TV and she will purposely not read her opinion because she doesn't want to ruin it when she's watching, you know, whatever the... The acting, yeah. Yeah, the acting. Whatever the show is called. Veep, Veep. Yeah, which is a great show.
I understand this, like, ugh, you ruin it for me. Yeah, these people are ruining their brand. Yeah. Well, that'll clean up. It's really stupid. It'll clean up a lot. So that was kind of a lead-in to Supreme Court related stuff, which I do have a few clips for. I don't know what you have, if anything, on the topic. Well, I have a couple of things. I got the woman's, which I refer to as CBF. You know, before you do that, would you mind if I just played a compilage? No, play, do your thing. The compilage, although this is, would have worked on the previous episode of No Agenda as well as one of those super cuts. It's, you know, this is when we were really talking about the issue of a panel of white men who are going to make the decision.
And just the vitriol... What panel of white men might this be? This would be the Judiciary Committee. Really? Which is funny, because there's a bunch of women on that committee. Ted Cruz is a Cuban. I guess maybe he probably self-identifies as white. Well, what's the 11 men then? And what's his name? The character from Massachusetts, the black guy who's gone off to Booker, Kamala Harris is black. Hold on, hold on, no, no, no, hold on. Let me see what the 11 men... Who are these 11 men? I'm looking it up now. Let me see. The 11 men. Isn't it a subset of the committee? No, it is the committee. The committee is a subset of the Senate. Well, maybe they're talking just about...
Republican men on the on the it says how will the image old what is this 11 now and I feel stupid bull crap thing This is typical. It's not even true. It's not even a panel of 11 dudes There's no 11. No, not 11 what white guys where'd they come up with this then? Well, what are you talking? What's everywhere everywhere all male lineup? Oh GOP senators might get female aides to question. Okay, so the I understand now What they're saying is the Republican senators who are on the panel are all old white men and there's 11 of them and it's because they By definition have a majority that it's just the 11 white men who will make the decision the Democratic votes don't matter I think that's what's being implied. Are we on board with that?
for the purposes of this debate. Judiciary Committee. You've got all white men on the Republican side here. On the Republican side, all 11 are white men. The Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, it's 11 white men. And the Republicans, it is 11 white men. The Republicans, it happens to be 11 white men. Are these white Republican men essentially going to ask her if she's telling the truth? 25 years since the Anita Hill hearings, what hasn't changed is the number of white men. I know
have covered lots of these white men. And so at the end of the day, if they have a bunch of white men once again defending another white man. You have 70-something year old white men, no offense to them. No offense! We don't like the process being disrupted. On the Senate Judiciary Committee is all white men. Almost worst case scenario for a bunch of white men on the Senate Judiciary Committee. If you're white, you're a racist. Do they want me to watch their station I Am over 50 I am white they should have thrown in straight just for good measure Come on
I love those compilages. They're my favorite. Who did that one? Supercuts, supercuts on that. It's always in the show notes. NASHowNotes.com. They always do fun stuff, but they didn't do... I like it when they don't put music under it. So you can cut out one. Yes, I prefer that too. I don't like the guys who try to, hey, let's get artistic and put some crappy music under that maybe people won't like. It's a very bad idea. The stuff stands alone too. It does. It's nice when it's clean. Yeah, you don't have to prove that you're Steven Spielberg. It's fine. We're very happy. Yeah. Let me see, do I have anything else as background? No, I have some other clips, but let's see what you've got. Let's go to the real rundown, this CBF real rundown stalling, and this is actually
The little punchline at the end of this goes on from here, but this is what it's really all about. While the details of when and how are still being finalized, the possibility of hearing directly from Christine Blasey Ford promises political fireworks that could derail President Trump's Supreme Court nomination. Kelly O'Donnell is with the president in New Jersey tonight and has the latest. Tonight, the answer looks like yes for an extraordinary public hearing to happen next week with a lifetime Supreme Court appointment on the line. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers informed the Senate Judiciary Committee today that she has accepted an invitation to provide what they called first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct
But the time, place and details are still in dispute. A senior White House official reacted, this seems like another delay tactic. Yes Yeah, it seems like another delay tactic is a delay tactic. Yeah, I have a clip about that Well, we'll play part two of this and then you can play yours tense negotiations remain underway to determine specifics including whether Ford or Cavanaugh testifies first about her claim that when they were teens in the 1980s at a party with underage drinking Cavanaugh groped her and tried to remove her clothes
Kavanaugh categorically denies that allegation. Today the judge was spotted leaving his Maryland home and has said he will go back to Capitol Hill to defend his integrity. At a conservative conference today, the vice president said Kavanaugh will be confirmed. The president and I are confident. that Senate Republicans will manage this confirmation properly with the utmost respect for all concerned. The president expressed similar enthusiasm last night in Missouri. He was born for the US Supreme Court. He was born for it. And it's going to happen. And Ford's lawyers said in their letter to the committee that they are disappointed in the leaks and the bullying. The White House also tells me that they are frustrated by the process, saying delays are unfair to the nominee who wants to clear his name and testify. Yeah, so this next clip that I have will kind of show and refers to your previous one.
that all of this is really meant to delay and there's rules in the Senate and it's really kind of plays into our, my original thesis that Trump doesn't want him confirmed. He's given him lots of outs to quit, you know, ahead of the game, you know, just get out to save his family. But I don't think he's going to get confirmed at all and here's why. Politically. This is from MSNBC which was surprising to hear this clarity on their so-called news channel. Politically, Matthew, this seems like a no-brainer for the White House to just say, you know what, I got other people that I can get, I got other people that might excite the base more. I think about Judge Amy Comey Barrett.
That's her. Why are they putting their, they've got their own reputational issues on the ballot. Why add this? Well I think the big reason is the calendar. I think the democratic strategy, it was apparent on day one of the confirmation hearings, is to delay the nomination past the election. To delay the nomination is to defeat the nomination. And if you're able to defeat the nomination, then the question becomes, well, who next? And what is the time frame for confirming that judge to the Supreme Court? So they're sort of trapped by the calendar. If that time frame goes beyond the election, an election in which it's very possible that the Democrats win both the House and the Senate, then what you're looking at is an empty seat on the Supreme Court for two years. Mazie Hirono basically raised this possibility in a news conference just this week. So that's why the White House and Republicans nationally are behind this nomination, at least want to see both sides tell their story next week. Right, but next week is going to be Thursday, and if it's Thursday, then there is some rule in the Senate that pushes the actual vote back and it won't be until after the midterms, is my understanding.
Which would kind of make sense on a long bet from Trump to say to use this as oh my goodness We have to we have to keep the Senate at minimum. Yeah, get out and vote get out and vote And otherwise, it'll just be two years without without any confirmation because it just it won't happen probably But I think he's you know, it's a it's a hedge on his part. Here is Senator Mazie Hirono Confronted with some again. This is from left left favorite. Yeah, she's pretty funny This is Jake Tapper on CNN confronting her with the facts about all four witnesses that the judge or that the professor has presented to be on you know to be Interrogated as witnesses
So four people said to be at the party Ford described have denied knowledge of the incident. Brett Kavanaugh, obviously, Mark Judge, who she says was in the room, PJ Smith, and even Ford's longtime friend Leland Kaiser. So there hasn't been a law enforcement investigation, but there are these statements from the four people she remembers being there who don't remember the incident or don't even remember being at the party in question, according to her friend Leland Kaiser, who says she believes her, but doesn't have any memory of it. Doesn't Kavanaugh have the same presumption of innocence as anyone else in America? I put his denial in the context of everything that I know about him in terms of how he approaches his cases. As I said, his credibility is already very questionable in my mind and in the minds of a lot of my fellow Judiciary Committee members, the Democrats.
So, he comes and you know, when I say that he's very outcome driven, he has an ideological agenda, very outcome driven and I notice she's not addressing the question. I can sit here and talk to you about some of the cases that exemplifies his, in my view, inability to be fair in the cases that come before him. This is a person that is going to be sitting on our Supreme Court making decisions that will impact women's reproductive choice. He very much is against women's reproductive choice. And I can tell you two very important cases in which he applied the same standard but came to totally different results. There's a difference between applying the law, as she says here, and saying he's against
women's reproductive choice. I don't know why you have to, why can't you just say pro-choice? Is that not foreboding too? That's a way of, yeah, you want to present it. She presents it, I think there's like talking points or some way of doing it. Yeah, you present it as a message. You get scolded by your parties. You can't just say it this way. And Schumer's the guy behind all this. Oh yeah. There's two very important cases in which he applied the same standard but came to totally different results to make it much harder for women to get this kind of coverage. So there's There are... There's just no evidence for what she said. ...many indications of his own lack of credibility. It sounds to me like you're saying because you don't trust him on policy and because you don't believe him when he says, for instance, that he does not have an opinion on Roe v. Wade, you don't believe him about this allegation about what happened.
at this party in 1982. Is that fair? This is why it is so important that there be at least an investigation so that there's some effort and collaboration. We think that there was a lot of drinking going on as far as a friend, his friend Mark Judge, not even testify. That is astounding to me. He was right there in that room. He refuses to testify. Oh geez, he was right there in that room. Well, let's talk about that for a second. I want to mention something by the way, Mimi brought this up. She says there's not a girl in the world, especially at that age, who doesn't have a friend or two that she would, if this had happened, she would have been bitching and moaning about it to at least three women. Yeah.
Because women talk to women. They do. That's what she says, simply. Women talk to women. Where are the women that would back her up that she'd ever mentioned this to anybody? She didn't, this never happened. That's a good lesson by the way. Women talk to women. Yes, all men should pay attention to that commentary. All old cis white guys pay attention. Old cis white guys know what we're talking about. Women talk to women. Well, I was... About everything. I was again astounded by CNN who brought together a panel, a diverse panel, across what I could see was income
levels in white cis female society, Republicans, and asked them about Kavanaugh and asked them about what they thought if this was true or what it meant for old allegations to come back up. I don't know if the producer of this segment is still working for CNN but the results were kind of predictable and they didn't even really edit it that much. As far as I can tell, maybe people sit at home and get really upset. It's like, oh my God, these Republican women, they should not even be called women anymore. They're just horrible. How many of you believe Judge Kavanaugh when he says this didn't happen? I believe him. I do believe him. How can we believe the word of a woman or something that happened 36 years ago when this guy has an impeccable reputation?
It was nobody, nobody that has spoken ill will about him. Everyone that speaks about him, this guy's an altar boy, you know, a scout. He's, you know, because one woman made an allegation. Sorry, I don't buy it. But in the grand scheme of things, my goodness, you, there was no intercourse. There was maybe a touch. Can we really? 36 years later, she's still stuck on that? Had it happened? I mean, we're talking about a 15 year old girl, which I respect. You know, I'm a woman, I respect. We're talking about a 17 year old boy in high school with testosterone running high. Tell me what boy hasn't done this in high school. Please, I would like to know. Why would she come forward if this wasn't true? Because it has basically destroyed her family. She's had to move, she's gone undercover, she's gone...
death threats. We don't know any of this to be true. So if she's lying, why come forward? She's also destroying his life, his wife's life, his children's lives, his career. I mean, why did she come out sooner if she's telling the truth? Why didn't she come out when he was going into the Bush White House? Why didn't she come out when he's been a federal judge for over a decade? Why not have a thorough investigation instead of just the two of them he said she said? It doesn't matter. It does not matter what everyone else has to say. This is what happened though with Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. The FBI investigated it took three days, done. Why not now?
Well, this is not the same. This is a high school kid. I mean, it's not a Anita Hill story. Does something that allegedly happened some 30 plus years ago matter today? You can't judge the character of a man based on what he did at 17. And I would hate to think that 30, 40 years later, somebody is going to destroy your life because somewhere at some party you It's not right, but maybe you're not supposed to. And who brought the alcohol for these kids? As women though, do you have some sympathy for her? For what she's going through? No, I have no sympathy. And perhaps maybe at that moment she liked him and maybe he didn't pay attention to her afterwards and he went out with another girl and she got bitter or whatever the situation is. They're kids. So this was a great example. Women talk to women and I don't, I think that
This was borderline suitable because there's a lot of things they were saying that I don't agree with. Like, oh, that's what 17-year-old boys do. No, I've never really done that. I don't think you've done that. No, I've never jumped on some girl and tried to take her top off. No, but so where you have... You know, women talking to women like this, you'd expect women to be talking to women like, you know, another way on the other side. And the information just doesn't seem to be there. The only thing that was valuable that I caught again on CNN was the effect of alcohol on long-term memory brought to you by Sanjay Gupta.
And I believe she was also consuming alcohol at this party. Was she or was she not? Yeah, it was a drunken brawl. It was a drunk fest from the sounds of it, at least the way it's been described. And that one woman does bring up a funny point which would get somebody in trouble, I'll bet you, depending on the statute of limitations. Who bought the alcohol for these kids? Yeah, I like that one too. Back to the new developments in the Supreme Court confirmation battle. Christine Blasey Ford says she is willing to speak with the Judiciary Committee about her accusations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Topic likely to come up, how reliable is someone's memory when alcohol is involved? CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, breaks it down.
Well, Ana, I think there's a lot of assumptions when it comes to memory and alcohol, and oftentimes those assumptions are wrong. Let me start off by telling you this, that a lot of the research comes from witnesses to crimes. They took people who were intoxicated witnesses to crimes. and sober witnesses to crimes, and they basically found that in the short term, if people were questioned right after a crime had occurred, there was not a lot of difference in terms of recalling details between someone who was mild to moderately intoxicated and someone who was sober. that was in the short term. So that surprised a lot of people. Now there is something known as blackout drunk, which is not the same as passed out. Blackout drunk is when you can be talking, you can be walking, you can be interacting with people. But essentially, you're totally amnestic to it, meaning you'll have no memory of it. There's also something known as gray out, which is essentially islands of memory. But basically, I think that's what I
Really not remembering gray out there's also the component of time how much time has passed Since the event and this is really important here because I think when you look at how memory is actually encoded You realize that alcohol can have a real impact on a certain aspect of memory so when we remember things we look we see we hear we feel and And those sensory inputs are immediately transferred into short-term memory. That happens pretty quickly. And that's why people, again, who are intoxicated can remember things pretty well. But it's that next phase, going from short-term to long-term, where alcohol sort of acts like a sledgehammer.
And it's why people can remember things so vividly one day and then a few days later really have no recollection of it at all because the memories were never in those long-term stores. So that's just a little bit of an idea of how alcohol does impact memory, both in the short term and in the long term. Anna? Interesting. Thank you, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. it being authentic or real, which is that supposedly she took a lie detector test and passed it. And he should take one too, which is the meme. But what lie detector test did she take? Who gave it? When was it? I don't remember this. I mean, it wasn't covered very well. I think it's bull crap.
There's a lot of this, just as well, let's stop and back up and we can just stop these clips and just say this whole thing is a charade. It's just a it's a scam. It is. And the scam is obvious. The scam is to delay until the calendar kicks in and they can't confirm. So we get our you get Beto in so we can move to that. God, you know, just just one last thing here. Let me see if I get this whole debate, this Kavanaugh with the women and the Fords and the and the Chrysler and everybody in there. This has become the Twitter convo du jour and it's it's it's destroying Twitter. Well Twitter is really getting out of control. People will leave the platform. They're going to leave the platform. People are leaving the platform. They are de-platforming themselves. Self de-platformization. Yes, I'm thinking about it. Self de-platforming. Yes!
Well, you need to self-deplatform out of California first. That would be my first order of business. We'll get to Beto in a second. Beto, Beto. You say Beto, I say Beto. Because first I have to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you John C! Yes, the man who put the C in PC Magazine, Dvorak! Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, in the morning to all the ships at the sea and the boots in the air. And the subs in the water! And all the dames and knights out there. Yes, and in the morning to our troll room. Our troll room at noagenderstream.com. Very good to have everybody there. It's nice to have the back room chat up as well. And you'll have some screen real estate. Nice back here in the drone star state.
That's where you can always find all of our trolls during the live show twice a week on Thursdays. Also in the morning to Mike Riley who brought us the artwork for episode 1070. The title of the episode was Alexa in Alexis and we had a tough time choosing the art. As predicted a lot of people did the they live robot face on Joe Biden. And Nick the rat had the best it the best version of the face, but man was Mike Riley's artwork complete with You know he had to obey in the background. He had the note you know no agenda I like a topic of conversation on Twitter. Yeah, cuz I had no really no really yeah, well because O'Neill and
Nick and some others they like to talk about sometimes and I chimed in say well the reason you know we pick what we did is because it was a little busier and when you have a choice of being Busy artwork in terms of having a lot of junk on that on the piece as opposed to being super clean unless it's incredibly elegantly funny I mean there has been moments where like for example I think it was Martin JJ or whoever one of the regular guys from the past who did the simple Jeb Bush with the big bottle glasses just these simple big eyeball glasses. It was nothing more to it than this simple. I mean it was just it was the choice at the moment and
We love what people are doing with the new headers and stuff. That looks very cool. We're gonna ban a couple things. Yes. We're gonna talk about something. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, we're banning... anybody who uses FOMR... And what was your that what was the one that you see I don't have any problem I mean they put me down I'd crash jerk off or something. No no no no no no not pert no they would that would be banned No, there's not podcast jerk off longtime podcast personality, which I'm okay with it's a little lengthy Oh You know, I think you're a little tired of being called a foamer even though you brought the whole topic up yourself. Yes. So if a ban is in place apparently, a ban... You cannot use foamer on your artwork if you want it to be picked.
No agenda art generator dot com. Thank you very much. Mike Riley. It's highly appreciated We love all the art that comes in and you can take a look at all of it It's very useful for all kinds of fun things and projects. There's over 12,000 pieces of album art 12,000 pieces of album art and there's probably at least a thousand outstanding pieces. Yes Oh more than that We've had a thousand and sixty, a thousand and seventy episodes. So there's more than a thousand outstanding pieces. There's more. There's the ones that didn't quite make the cut. Now it's a fantastic archive. I hope there's a backup of it.
Yes, I've been trying to get our guy to do a backup. I always get very worried about stuff like this. I lost my copy of WebCopier Pro, which is my favorite spider. John, our producers need to do this. We're not good at this. Yeah, somebody can do it. Well, we can do it, but we can't do it. No, we'll do it and then it'll be on a drive. Don't know where the drive is. It's a nightmare. It's lost. It's a nightmare. I know I made a copy somewhere. This is not what we do. I'm just being honest. I have stacks of hard disks that I have to go through once in a while. Literally. I have a stack of hard disks. So when I put a machine out of service, I've been doing this long enough, over 30 years at PC Magazine, I have a,
stack of hard disks cuz I take the old hard disk and I I have a thing you can take the hard disk and plug it into this device and it'll Think it's like a real drive and it is and you can look at your old hard disks And it's like you can't go through all this crap. I'm just drill them all by the way I did want to mention that I didn't realize it but Christina and her girlfriend and the roommate had not seen they live yet. Oh Yeah, but boy did they love it Oh yeah, they loved it. Yeah, they loved it. It's corny, but great. So, noagendaartgenerator.com, again, it's a great resource and also you can go to noagendashop.com. Those guys put on t-shirts, make sure the artists get paid. I mean, it's a beautiful ecosystem. It's a part of our value network, Value for Value. And this is the donation portion of it, the first one for each show where we thank our executive producers and associate executive producers. You know, I have to say something about They Live.
Because it's a movie that once in a while you think about these things. The way the they live concept works is that the reason you can't see the signage and all the brainwashing and these ugly people that are roaming around, and there's lots of ugly people roaming around, is because of this transmitter, which is actually symbolic of the media. That John Carpenter, always thinking in metaphors. That transmitter is a transmitter that's transmitting these waves to make you not see these horrible looking people and brainwashing. And that transmitter is the mainstream media. It's a transmitter. That's right. Anyway, so that's what that's all about. And we are your vision. We are the glasses. Yeah, where are those sunglasses? That's right. You put them on twice a week. They work on Thursdays.
It's gonna get old I know you're gonna get tired. It's already old. Okay. I'll stop move along All right, so we do have a few people to thank and I want to incorporate a couple of people that were at the Oakland meetup, which was a great little event it was very unusual how many people showed up Sorry, how many people attended? 53 no nice number. That's a pretty big meetup. That's not a small little diddy I'm I left it unfortunate getting a sore neck and wait a minute you bailed I bailed at 730 it was gonna go to 8 so I left a little early and I missed Def a ball who showed up late Oh and the blind Dame which is I felt really bad about luckily Mimi took you know Demis Mimi pretended to be you sure to introduce them to every old me meal never Mimi pretended to be you and she didn't know the difference is that what you're telling me about the blind they knew the difference they're very disappointed to make it up to him yes you should it's horrible and
And then I was kind of disappointed that some of our regulars from the area weren't there. I mean Dame Tanya could have been there. Bean, Sir Bean, he never shows up to anything. So okay. Anyway, so we have two executive producers that came out of this group. Including, of course, Sir JD, the baron of Silicon Valley was there with $300 and something to match anybody's $100 donation. Wow, great. He just gave the whole money. I mean, he only matched a couple. But he actually ended up collecting $533 and we'll credit him with the $333.33.
And then the other, and he'll be executive producer, and so also Luke and Beatrice Hatcher from Oakland came in with 333.33 in a check with a note too. Now I wanna, this is what I wanna talk about about the meetup. This was the most disorganized, not in terms of the meetup actually happening, but in terms of the people that showed up at the meetup. It's as if they showed up and then they said, I don't know, it's the Dvorak's there, well, we didn't bring the envelope with the money and a note, so let's go to the ATM. This is according to Jay. She says, everybody went to the ATM and they came out. Wait, you're like a hooker in Vegas. You're like a hooker in Vegas. You're like a hooker in Vegas. You can always go to the ATM, darling.
They all donate 60 bucks and according to Jay it's like yeah, they went to the ATM took a hundred out kept 40 put 60 in it It wasn't half the time. It even wasn't an envelope It was like a piece of paper made to look like an envelope some scratching right? Let's be honest the style. Here's the note. This was this was a check style points count. Oh It was very funny, but Luke and Beatrice, they came up with a check, which one of them had, I think. And then there's this piece of torn paper. It's like torn. Hey, John, long time no see. What an outrage! Well, I mean, it's just, one of the notes was on the back of this guy, I'm not gonna embarrass him or anything. It was on the back of his wife's shit to get some free cafeteria meal.
He had his wife's name on the back and he's like scribbled something on it. This was so, so last minute. Classic Silicon Valley area. I love it. Let's do this at the last second. Of course I'm reflective of that too. Long time, first time. Please clarify. You said chit, not shit, right? Chit. Chit. Yeah. C-H-I-T. No one knows what a chit is. No, not everybody knows. This is an international program. Look it up. Thanks for all the work you guys do to keep us informed and entertained. Love and light. No nothing else. There's no jingles. You can throw in a jingle one. Just give both JD and these folks a... JD also had a...
He had his money in his envelope, it was a Betty U Fong, it was a state envelope that was torn open and he stuffed his stuff in there. Then he had some notes scribbled all over it. It was unreadable, unreadable. It's an outrage, here's some karma, thank you. You've got karma. Oh man. But he may be organizing what he's calling a peerage dinner. Oh, that's an interesting idea. We'll talk about that more in the future. I also want to mention one of the other nights that were, I think it was a night, he came up with this great, two great ideas. One, he's getting a lot of little stickers made, but he's getting a, it turns out that most homeless people living in tents
will let you stencil a message on their tent. Whoa! Give them money. Advertising opportunity. He says it's the advertising opportunity of the century and he's getting a no agenda stencil made and he's gonna go from homeless encampment to homeless encampment and dole out some cash and stencil a no agenda show on these tents. This is big, John, this is big money. This is big money. Hey, so hold on a second. We need to get some publicity for this at some point. Do we want to do it on noagendashow.com or do you want to have one of our crazy URLs that forwards to No Agenda Show?
I don't know. Yeah, because otherwise it's formative stages. Let's let us develop. There's a bunch of homeless people in all these tents. I've got this stencil on him and I'm talking, I've got a couple of home, oh, the guy left. Well anyway, he told me before he left that these guys came along with 10 bucks and they would, they would spray on their tent. They said no problem and they ended up spraying on everybody's tents. This podcast has an innovative idea for helping people out of poverty. It's called the No Agenda Show. No agenda, done by former VJ and former PC Magazine writer, John C. Dvorak.
John C. Dvorak was just recently fired from his job at PC Magazine, which he notes was before the lucrative tent action. I love it. It's a great idea. I'm all for it. It's a great idea. Yeah. Fabulous. Hey, we paid him, man. Nine out of ten homeless people prefer the No Agenda podcast. We're sick bastards. Sick, I tell you. That is one of the better ideas. It's one of the best ideas I've heard. Can we tie it into blockchain somehow and do a cryptocurrency with these people? Blockchain stenciling! Do a crypto with these people and help them out of poverty? As we laugh and laugh at the plight of the homeless. Very good. Yeah. Very classy. No, we're horrible. We are horrible. It's terrible. But hey, ten bucks is ten bucks. Right? Yeah. I'm all in. All right. And what else from the meetup?
Uh, no, there wasn't much else. Are you gonna thank some other people later? Oh, Briony showed up. Oh, how's Jen doing? She was in dimension B and she's kind of snapped out of it for a while. She's doing fine and uh... Does she still like me or does she... I introduced her to Mimi immediately and the two of them hit it off. Oh, perfect. Yeah. They're both, you know, tall. She's gonna be living up there before you know it. Well, there's an element of this. I don't know if I can even discuss it. Yeah, I think so. Which I'll discuss in the future. Oh, come on! Well, Briony apparently thinks that or likes the idea and she's... I think she might have the chops because I tried to explain why I was helping Briony to mentoring her and her model. Because she's got talent, that's why. She's a natural.
She's a natural podcaster, she's got a good voice, she knows how to use her voice. Yeah, she's talented. She wants to try doing some stand-up. Oh, interesting. I bet she could do it too. So Mimi, of course, produces comedy. She knows everybody in the business. She already has a date at Giggles or what is it called? Giggles and Yuck Yucks. She's got a gig? So Mimi can coach her a little bit, mentor her in the stand-up business enough so that she could actually do something, practice, see if she likes it. And then I said, hey, good, she's yours now. Oh, handoff. Oh, very good.
Very good. Does she still like me or she pissed about our Twitter back and forth according to Mimi? Yeah, and Jay I guess it was listening on some of this She is grousing about you. Yeah, I knew it's damn it Yeah, but I'm only saying to help her. She's just grousing. You're too harsh on her. You're harsh. Love baby. It's tough. Love tough love I don't say because I got I have lots of other things I can do in my world So we're gonna do more of these meetups a here and there. We do mere more of this mentoring Yeah, we do more this mentoring. We wind up hating me. You wind up hating me and doing stand-up. Welcome to podcasting Hey worked out for me
Right. So anyway, but that will do we should do more of these. I'm gonna do another one in Seattle. I'm gonna do another one in the S. Oh, you're just cranking them out. We got to get our Austin meetup done now. Damn it. Yeah, you can. We should do at least we should do one a month, but we can't. We'll do one every couple months, maybe. Alright, so let's go on. Well, it sounds like you had a good time and I'm very happy and I'm glad people showed up. We didn't like the place, the Drake's place. Surly Waitresses and they didn't like the fact that we had so many people crowding around. It was a huge, huge place but they wouldn't give us the kind of tables we wanted. It was a bunch of... You know, this seems to be a bit of a thing. These places
Don't want to, you know, give you an area because, well, you know, we can make more money the other way around. Stuff like that. Very dickish. Dickish, yeah. That's the word. Dickish. I want to thank everybody who came to the meetup. That's fantastic. Sounds like you had a good time. Yes. You and Curry, a couple more things, items. Are you and Curry ever going to like do a meetup together? No. I said no, probably not. We don't actually like each other. We don't. We're not really... The other one is, I have a great idea. Oh yeah. Do the show live together during the meetup. Hello? Exactly. Did I tell you this already? No, I get that all the time.
All the time, yeah. You have a great idea. On stage, on stage, on stage. They want to see you on the Shays and me with my Tourettes. We're a great show. So I told the guy, I said, here's the problem. I finally, I had to kind of discuss this with this guy, because he was adamant. I said, here's the problem. It involves an audience. And both of us are kind of have a performance gene. And so we start playing to the audiences, me especially. You know, I won't even be talking about these items that we try to discuss in the show. I'll be doing jokes and making funny comments, see if I can get a rise out of the audience. It would be a disastrous show.
It would totally suck. And I'd be really confident conscious of my of my tics and stuff. You'd be all nervous about your tic. The tic? No, no, tics. Plural. What are you talking about? Yeah, they're jerking around. Spitting. It's unbelievable. Okay, let's start thanking some people. They were done. I think I covered it. All right. But anyway, thanks for everyone who did show up. That was great. Where's Alan Bean? That's what I'd like to know. Brian Barrow, 34567, sir? Brian? I'm not sure, I don't remember. I think so. Really sorry to hear about your PCMag partying ways situation. Take this donation as a sign you still have the support of the No Agenda audience.
Without meaning to be funny, please give yourself some jobs karma. Yeah, I was thinking about that too. What kind of jobs karma would you prefer? We have the Nancy and Trump, we got the Trump and we got the just Nancy. Oh no, don't give me the Trump. Just what? The Nancy job. Just the regular Nancy. Regular Nancy. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! Henceforth, henceforth to be known as a regular Nancy. Yes, a regular. Give me the regular Nancy. I want a regular Nancy. Yeah, sounds right. Steve Fisher, 33333. RIP, PC Mag, I bet they don't last another year. I remember when PC had spawned out of Popular Electronics. Oh, is that true? Well, it kind of was true. PC Magazine was actually started by David Bunnell and then it was bought by a guy named Tony Gold and Bill Ziff bought the company out from under. Oh, right.
Right, but now and but now started PC world pissed off which was an opera and and Ziff did have popular electronics, which they folded Because this is the reason I just have nobody very few people know this but popular electronics Folded because the circulation was too high Wait a minute, come back at me with that. Let me just let me check the bong for a second. It folded because the circulation was too high. Yeah, it's too high and growing. Were they losing money on every edition? Not that anyone can tell, but Schiff has this very unique theory of, and he is the specialist in this, and likely I got to sit and chat with him a lot about special interest publishing, and I got a lot of insight that I still discuss occasionally.
The way he always saw special interest publishing it was really has to be super targeted and you could get so you had a you created a world right and so PC magazine was a world into itself and that's why all Advertising had to be about the stuff that you talked about in the magazine. You could not have an ad from Ford, right? anything and and apparently this Popular trust was getting so big that it was losing this this the to focus on a small enough group that you could sell to the advertisers. It was all about creating an audience for the advertisers. And they were branching out too much. That audience was not being defined specifically enough and he decided to hell with it. Boom. Binga-bonga-bong. Anyway, he goes on Book Report, Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks and White Liberals, 2005. He explains the race problem in a way that you will never hear anywhere else.
Remember, he's a successful black man. His other books are highly recommended to you. He's a very interesting guy, yes. He's at the Hoover Institute. Have you read this book? No, I have not. Okay, it's on the list then. He's a very easy to read writer. He's a very good writer. Sir American Carnage. He's also, you never see him in a review or anything because he's a black conservative. Sir American Carnage, 33333. Aka, sore American carnage when I saw on Twitter that John had been unceremoniously fired from PCMag. I had to donate since it has been a little while since my last contribution. Firstly, the show has been excellent lately. You two provide incredible information and analysis value. Second,
I'm always listening through the archives between current shows. Recently I came across a complete gem. When James Comey was first clipped and analyzed on the show, episode 656, Adam referred to him as a nut job. Which is the exact term Trump used after firing him. Coincidence? Read the book. This further confirms the long time suspicion that Adam is from the future. I have attached the clip in question. Thank you both for your courage. Very strange. He, I guess he was forced to do, he's coming into his own now.
And now he's, you know, now it's a couple months, he's been in his department, and this guy is a great, like a nut job operator. And he is a frightening individual. I can't even remember me saying that. I don't remember it either. You know why? Because of the alcohol. There's no long-term memory. Huh. Maybe. Good catch. You know what? Thank you. It is sometimes astounding what we've discussed on the program. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty. There was a book that came out and I'm gonna discuss it soon about the how the the we coddled our American children into morons that they are and I went to search.na show notes sure enough it was the same guys and Atlantic article from six years ago. I mean it's crazy what we discuss on this show.
I'm not gonna argue. It's almost like we're being guided from a cosmic source. Yes, from the number three six and nine. Yeah. Eight should be in there somewhere too. All right now we have one I'm just looking it up to see if there's a note from him because there's no note on this Jonathan Wall August 29th is that right? What? No, no, that's 2014 never mind. Are you looking through Squirrelman? So we have a donation from Norman Walls Uh, from Kyle, Kyle, Lua, Kona, Hawaii, three 33. Unless that was from the last show. I'm not sure. No, I don't remember this one. Okay. Well anyway, if he has something to tell us, he'll let us know. Mark Jasper, $300. I have never been fired by a front hole. Man, that's a comment there for you. Thank you for your courage. Mark Jasper. Yeah. Darn.
Onward to the associate executive producers, Sir Chad Biederman, the Baron of Guam, 250 bucks. Bless me, John and Adam, I spent one year since my last donation. I've been working on bringing down my credit card debt and had planned on mailing a check in the next few months. However, the news of JCD's departure from PCMag drove me to act early. John is one of the few voices in the world of so-called tech punditry that actually moves past the gee whiz Excuse me, gee whiz sophistry of great innovations that aren't great, revolutionary, useful, or benign. Let me stop you right there for a second.
I have learned, and as I'm sure you have as well, we were talking about some great tech on the previous show, the new Apple Watch, which some people found a very humorous analysis. But the term complication, a complication on a watch face, comes from the traditional watchmaking world. Neither of us knew this. Because we know we're not we're not fancy watches But back in the old days if it was more than just a watch with hands Like a moon or date or anything else besides just the time is known as a complication Thanks, and that's why Apple uses that a great opportunity to rebrand, but okay. It's good I'm sure the Baron of Guam appreciates that interruption. I'm sorry I
I'm tired of people telling me how, but it's a good piece of information, I think. Now I know. And why would Apple use that term? The Baron of Guam is growing old. I mean, come on. I know. I'm tired of people because I think it confuses people. I'm tired of it. Go back. Baron is back. Chad, here we go. I'm tired of people telling me how great a network voice activated microwave oven is when it only takes two to three minutes to make a bag of popcorn in the damn thing. That's Amazon. Didn't they just release a new microwave with Alexa in it? It's dumb. Did you see it? I haven't seen it. Who wants it?
I think that's peak Alexa. Put your cat in the microwave immediately. It's peak Alexa right there. You still have to get out of your chair to take the bag of popcorn in and out of the microwave, you nitwits. What's the benefit? Pretending you're on Star Trek? Who thinks crap like this has any utility at all? See, we've... Chad can be writing some columns here. Yes, indeed. This is someone who has been influenced by your magazine. I think, no, he's always... I believe guys like this are always this way. They just need someone to confirm their already existing opinions. Okay, well that's still important. That's my belief. I think that's what the show does too.
kind of know this is going on but they need somebody to kind of outline it for them because they got other things to do they have jobs. And someone they can always blame later. Will Dvorak said it? Yeah well that's good too. As you no doubt have noticed I really appreciated John's pieces in PCMag because they seem to be the only place where common sense would kick in with regard to Silicon Valley inventions and personalities. Luckily we still have such insight at the No Agenda show but only if my fellow listeners donate. Related congratulations to Adam and Tina on their upcoming nuptials. She sounded like a keeper to me for the first time Adam mentioned her. No, she is total jingle request
Star Wars from L Sharpton. I don't know why but that cracks me up every single time Chad Baron of Guam we can give him some karma to is a good guy everyone's going nuts about it Yeah, I don't know why either but it is it's no reason for it to be funny It's just funny Scott Floyd in Clayton, California to $200 and 30 cents. I I wanted to donate 200 to finally become a knight and help the slacks. 30 cents on the back to tie it to the many years of Dvorak has been sharing his insights in PCMag with many other sources. I'm hoping to be Sir Scott of Diablo. Can you de-douche me? You've been de-douched. Can you play the Obama mariachi no no no and resist me much?
Thank you both and sorry about PC Mag John, unbelievable note they sent to the next Bay Area meetup. I was watching my kids Friday and letting my wife have the weekend off so I couldn't make it yesterday. Okay, you know what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Be committed. You've got karma.
And he says, it's his birthday. Hope I get this in on time. I'm on vacation in New Orleans having my rent boys and Chardonnay. Here's the money. There's plenty of it down there. Here's the money I will, although you can get some muscadine wine back in Louisiana too. Oh, I thought there was plenty of rent boys down there. I didn't know you were talking about the Chardonnay. Yeah, rent boys. They're available. Here's the money I would have spent on one. I'm taking one for the team today. Is that all it costs? Rent boys are too high. Is that the market? Is that the going market now? Gerald might or might not know. It's from Durham nearby. Now, I want to talk a little bit when we get out of this segment about North Carolina and the storm. Because there's something that no one has covered. I don't know why. Maybe Gerald can send us a note later about it. Okay. That concludes it. Those are our producers, associate producers and executive producers for show.
1071 I want to thank you should everyone ever be for supporting this operation. Yeah this operation Thanks you and we'll be thanking more people in the second donation segment for people who came in with $50 and above and As always another show is coming up this time for reals on Thursday I look forward to it as as does my partner in crime John C. Dvorak you can remember to support us at a vorac org So, you're gonna do that, I just wanted to mention I have this, uh...
Let me see. I finally got one. Where is it here? Before you go to that, I do want to mention there was one more associate executive producer at the meetup. Came in, it was like another scrunched envelope. 200 bucks inside. Another last minute job. NJNK Anonymous. Oh, okay. I don't know who it was. I got a boing. It's kind of a weird one. You got your boing! I got a boing. You got your boing. I got my boing, man. All right, we're going to talk about North Carolina. Oh yes, North Carolina. Now, there's been coverage and coverage. There's been a couple of stories about this, but if you remember a number of years back, and this has been going on, it's still an ongoing problem. North Carolina is one of the biggest producers of pork.
in this country. And I would say you might have an investment opportunity because a lot of it gets exported to China. But there have, and there were tons of stories, 60 Minutes and the Nightlines, all these things about the huge piles of pork or pig crap all over the place. And it was like stinking up coal counties of North Carolina. stink because of the pig crap that was everywhere and all these pigs, shit all over everywhere. And apparently a million or more pigs were killed by this storm, these floods and these storms. What happened to all the pig poop? Does anybody write a story about it? The whole state has to be inundated with pig poop. It's like a sewage mess and no one has discussed this.
Now I know that everything went from North Carolina to South Carolina. But where there to yeah, but where does it ultimately flow? I mean this stuff is managed I mean, but Tina was telling me that she looked at the Lady Bird Lake Which is really part of the Colorado River, which is managed by the lower Colorado River Water Authority It's all connected and she said there was sludge coming through the other day I mean you got to wonder who to where you're right. Where does it go? Who takes care of it? Where did you just roll off down to? This is the Gulf? Nobody's writing about it. Are these guys... Was that picture of Cooper sitting and standing in the water? Was he actually standing in pig poop? I don't know. I think he was. It must have been. Do you have a clip? I don't have a clip. It may be an outtake. I'm going, boy, it stinks here for some. What is this stink? What is this smell? I just think it's very poor reporting. Well, zero reporting.
Anyway, just it just bothers me and I really realized how poor the reporting is when you when you When you're over in Europe and even you know certainly from our side as well We're not getting enough information and cool tidbits from our producers I mean you look at what had did you know about the big brexit breakup? They were all in Austria and and the EU said I Screw you, Theresa May. We're not taking your deal. And then she went back and they're all yelling back and forth and apparently it's all about Northern Ireland. I mean we don't know any of this in the United States of give my nation. None of it. None of it. Did you see it on Democracy Now? Did you see it on PBS NewsHour? These are not unimportant events. No. No, that's because it's got nothing to do with Trump.
Although, it did remind me that Trump had told her, look you gotta approach the negotiations this way and he said, no she didn't want to take my advice so she'll do her own thing, it's gonna be very tough. And it looks like she went into a negotiation and didn't do it right. And I can, you know, it's the, now it's the EU guys who are all sitting there all high and mighty and they're gonna show their big swinging dicks like, oh we're the EU, we're not gonna take your damn deal, do a no deal Brexit. And I think, of course I think there is a real conversation, but it's about Northern Ireland and it's called the backstop. Which means if they're not able to get a deal by 2020, then Northern Ireland would remain under the economic control of the European Union and not under the United Kingdom. Now I'm not sure why Northern Ireland itself is so important.
I mean it's industrial, is that where all the Google, no they have it in Ireland, not in Northern Ireland right? The Apple and Google. I don't know, we'd have to look into it but nobody seems to be covering it. I tried to look around a little bit and I really couldn't find like a specific reason. Well, somebody came up with this thesis that if you could do a no deal Brexit and then base everything on WTO rules, which are really more of a meta, that would screw the EU over. In other words, you have to trade. If you're in the WTO,
which they are, both groups. You can't do any of this kind of stuff you want to do. You have to follow the rules of the WTO. And you've already signed on to the WTO. We've done it. A lot of our laws in the United States are null and void because of the signing on to the WTO. And for some reason, they take precedent, which screws over a lot of small businesses in particular. But that's what they should do. Just say okay, we just could you WTO rules. That's that's it. We're just going by that that stuff. Well, so this of course is Once again raised the talk of another vote a do-over on break on the Brexit vote. It's a lot more of that and Yeah, who knows what's gonna happen? I don't I just think the EU's it's gonna sit there They're not gonna they're not gonna give him a deal. Yeah, go ahead and figure it out. Theresa May No, I don't think you're gonna give him a deal either. Oh
But then you've got to doubt the brexit at all is it a break is it a brexit if it didn't happen? Falls in the woods. Yeah, it's all just it's all just imaginary anyway, so we have a piece of paper somewhere, and we do some stuff yeah, um I Don't you see what else do I have here? There's a number of different directions. We can go there is an important bill That is coming up for a vote very soon now, which is not getting a lot of coverage. I think it's interesting. This is a federal bill. Mr. President, the Agriculture Committee has put together an excellent piece of legislation. For the first time in 80 years, this bill legalizes hemp.
We forget, but hemp was widely grown in the United States throughout the mid-1800s. Americans used hemp in fabrics, wine, and paper. Our government treated industrial hemp like any other farm commodity until the early 20th century when a 1937 law defined it as a narcotic drug, dramatically limiting its growth. This became even worse in 1970 when hemp became a Schedule 1 controlled substance. In Colorado, as is true across the country, I've talked to a lot of colleagues here about this, we see hemp as a great opportunity to diversify our farms and manufacture high margin products for the American people. Yeah baby, good products. Now apparently, this is the farm bill?
And let's mention something here. Sure. Industrial hemp. not the same as marijuana plants. That's correct, however an important part of this farm bill is that is the extract rule for CBD. That will be legalized. That will be a part of it. So you can create marijuana where marijuana hemp advertising whatever you want to call it where you can extract CBD for some groovy products. Yeah, anti-convulsants mostly. Well, there's lots of stuff. Anyway, yes, this needs to go through. Oh, and I think it will. And of course, this could be a pretty big little economic sector. And we're good at it. We're farmers. We could be very, very good at this. They're talking about CBD portion of it alone. Well, no, legalization of hemp and CBD could grow consumer market to $22 billion. That's not bad. It's a nice little cottage industry.
And I will say this, the hemp is very useful. We're talking again, not marijuana, not CBD, not THC. The plant has a fibrous content that can be used to make cloth, rope, almost all ropes were made from hemp cars. Hello, what are you laughing about? What cars are made from hemp? Go being a hemp car, it's right there, hemp car that also ran on hemp. It's there. And Cheech and Chong, hello. But yes, there's a hemp car. The usefulness of hemp in industry is quite high. Now, the one thing left out of this report is that when it was made illegal, it was made illegal by... This is... Now, people can check this out and call me on it because I'm not looking at the research as we speak. The Hursts. Yes, it was the Hursts. William Randolph Hurst supposedly had a bunch of
tree farms and hemp could be used to make newsprint and apparently early newspapers were had a high composition of hemp. I don't have this information in front of me. I'm just pulling it out. I've heard this as well. I've heard that this was the beginning. I've heard it but I'm not sure it's true. And that's when they started printing stories about Mexicans who were high on the marijuana weed and were freaking out and were coming here to rape our women. Now, that was the reefer madness era. And so they made, they illegally made the whole hemp plant, which is not in our... These industrial hemp plants, which are huge, can be used to make ethanol. I know that probably more efficiently than corn. And they can be used to make paper and all these other products that come from this plant.
Supposedly Hearst was behind the abolition movement, or one of the guys, and it worked out for him. Yeah, well it's going to work out for us because that's another sector that we can enter into and tax the hell out of. Which is just like, oh man, I love this story. What a statistic. This is from CNBC. New research on teen vaping shows that about 20% of high school students have used e-cigarettes in the last 30 days. The number has soared 75% from a year ago. 75%. Great.
That is according to a Wall Street Journal story citing unpublished federal data. By the way, they're saying this the whole read here is with... Oh, geez, it's horrible. These children are vaping. I mean, is he a doctor? Does he have a medical opinion on this? I mean, he certainly has an agenda. Like, oh God, so fuck the children. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is considering a fast-track review process for e-cigarettes that include features that discourage use by kids. The FDA announced a historic crackdown on e-cigs last week, threatening to ban some products like flavored nicotine that appeals more to kids. Like cucumber? I saw peach, I saw mango, cherry. There is something to be said about the oral...
She sounds hungry. I just want to point out that you create regulations for one reason and one reason only. Right after regulation comes taxation. This is so obvious, but they're like, oh save the children or some crap like that from your financial news station by the way. fixation, Freudian... Yeah, but if you're selling, I mean it's one thing, if you're selling it to try and help smokers kick an addiction, you don't need all these... Generating new nicotine addictions. A delivery system to generate new nicotine addictions is just... And you don't know what it does to their lungs, as FDA commissioners constantly said, delivery system through the drugs, drugs, or through the lungs is not a way that he would ever suggest you... No, through the nose, that's how we should do it. You get your intake of anything.
You're right, Liesman. Now I want to outlaw vaping. I'm turning into a big government regulation person. We're switching... That and the tariffs and all that stuff. I know, it's upside down. Become a hardcore big-time government guy. Like me and Elizabeth Warren. I am. Exactly. Two ends, they bend. They meet. Space-time. Space-time continuum. Stephen Hawkins. Are they high? What are they talking about? I mean, this is the weirdest segment. It's like they can't make up their mind if it's good or bad or it's like the tariffs or do we need this now and children shouldn't, you know, it's good if you're trying to wean people off smoking. How about a whole new category of drug? I mean, this is...
This is another taxable moment here. This is fantastic. Get on board, people. near schools Because that's where the kids are doing all the vaping. This is fantastic You get the kids hooked on the vape and of course We're gonna legalize the nicotine part because that's and that's the way it works now We've cut out all the young guys like Dexter, you know Dexter at his own they still has his vapors e-liquid company doing really well but it's gonna get cut out eventually because you'd have to pay a million dollars per flavor to get it approved and
You get all the kids jacked up on it, they're going to school, you got Bluetooth controlled so it's like, uh, slave in seat number five, if you have the answer right I'll turn on your vape. And they go, thank you teacher. This is a setup for these children. Yes, it's all part of it. I mean that's that's the beauty of it is you couldn't you can be vaping You could be dabbing and no one will really know Exactly. I know but 75% increase in vape and believe me. It's not just kids vaping Cucumber nicotine all right well. Thank you for that report a little report for you. Can we go to Beto? Oh?
Yeah, Beto, Beto, Beto, Beto, Beto, Beto, Beto. A couple of things about this guy. Now I don't know, I've heard him talk enough that I think he's trying to sound like Obama. He's kind of doing... Yes, yes, yes, yes. And he's even being compared to Obama. We had that in our last report. Because he's using Obama's cadence. Yes. Now, there's a very short clip. I don't have the whole thing. I had the whole thing. It's boring. So I got just a piece of it. This is him in a black church and he's using as one of his items is that woman that I don't even know if she was...
She wasn't a white girl, but she's the one who went into the black guy's apartment below hers and shot the guy to death. Yeah, she's a white cop. She's white. I thought she was. She looks Hispanic to me. Oh. It's beside the point. She's a cop and she went and shot this guy to death. And you know, this is a sketchy story. Everybody knows what is this? Maybe it was a jilted lover. We don't know. The story has never been fully realized, so we don't care. But this guy's in a black church getting everybody all riled up. And tell me, just listen to his cadence. He's not trying to be Obama in a black church.
in this very year, in this community, that a young man, African American, in his own apartment, is shot and killed by a police officer. And when we all want justice and the facts and the information to make an informed decision, Yeah, totally totally what was wrong in him son of midnight man, you know if we can find that grace Anything is possible. Yeah If we can tap that grace Everything can change
Yeah, it's a little bit, it's taking a little bit from Martin Luther King. Yes, yeah, Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King, the narrators. Yeah. And also, this guy's playing this. Also, I saw him, a video of him at the drive-thru, the Whataburger drive-thru, which is big in Texas, or Whataburgers, and he was doing air drums in the car. You know, all hip and stuff. There's nothing more pathetic than a white guy doing air drums at a Whataburger drive-thru. Yeah, it's like the scene in the couple scenes in Office Space where the guys... Yeah, it was bad. ...listening to rap. Very, very, very... Yes, exactly.
Now, so we have the Beto Cruz debate that went on. Yes, yes, yes. And a couple of things that my take on this. For one thing, Cruz has always been kind of a snot looking guy that I don't think has a lot of personal appeal in terms of his appearance. Beto's worse. Beto looks like the kind of kid that was in school, you'd want to punch him or pull his pants up or do something. You want to be mean to a guy like this. If you're in high school, I'm talking about in the olden days. Nowadays, no. Can't do anything. Were you like that? Were you mean to the nerds? Because I was that guy.
I was better with a nerd that was the Beto. Yeah. Yeah. Well you'd have been somebody would have you know tripped you or And I had Tourette's Oh yeah, you'd be screwed. So nowadays you're safe because everybody's all into the, oh, the poor kid. Let's treat, let's put this, make an example out of him without doing anything to him. Let's just give him a diploma just because he's sick. So this is this Beto guy. He's a very, Beto is, the problem that Cruz has is Beto is a lot taller than Cruz and much more stately.
Until you actually look at him. He's a Ichabod Crane guy, he's got a bunch of veins in his neck. His neck is like he might be a lizard. It's possible that he's a lizard. I don't know for sure, but he might be and that's why he's got this, he's got the cadence now, this Obama cadence. Yeah, lizard, lizard talk. Lizard talk. I've got three debate clips. All right. I got the clip that I picked up early, which is the two of them bickering, and then I have three others, but Here's what you have to remember a couple of things Cruz was a borderline professional debater. He was a master debater Master debater master debater and he Should be able to kick anyone's ass in a debate. I think this guy Somebody took him aside and said hey you want to beat Cruz here? I
You want to just point out what he's trying to pull with his discussions because he's pulling stunts. Cruz is pulling stunts and this guy, this Beto guy brings up, but in a number of points during the debate, Cruz would shake him up. He would say something to get him all shook up and he'd be nervous. So he's not as good as Cruz in debating, but he's pretty good at doing retorts. Here's the bickering clip. And we are moving on here. Sorry? Yeah, play that clip. Oh, no, I thought you were talking in between. I'm sorry. And we are moving on here. Of course I support the Second Amendment.
In what way, in what respect, and name one judge you've ever supported who would actually uphold Hillary. You may not understand how the House and the Senate work, but it's your job in the Senate to decide if you're going to support or not support a given nominee. Did you endorse Hillary Clinton? Not in the House. Did you endorse Hillary Clinton? That has nothing to do with the support of the Second Amendment. It does because Hillary promised every justice she would appoint would vote to overturn Hillary. I fully support the Second Amendment. You're both past your time, gentlemen. Let's move on. here. Oh yeah. After that little back and forth, and the guy got a good one in there. If you understood the House and the Senate, you know. By the way, he actually even stutters like Obama when he shook up.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good. Good catch. All right. So here we go with the Beto Cruz. Beto is talking about all the blacks in prison. He's trying to appeal to the black vote in Texas. But he's kind of one of those guys. I don't know if the black voter would. I mean, they like to hear him going on and on. But He's got this really smarmy quality that I don't know if blacks really, I don't think they like Cruz either. I just don't think they're gonna come out and vote for either one of them. But let's play, this is the way it would, this is clip one and this is kind of the way it goes. That is disproportionately comprised of people of color. Too many unarmed African American men losing their lives in this country. Too peacefully
protest that injustice non-violently and to call attention to that to prick the conscience of this country so that those in positions of public trust and power will finally do something. Standing up not just for your rights but everyone's rights in this country there's nothing more American than that. That's your time Congressman. I'm gonna have to ask again for the audience to please please refrain from reacting and applause okay we need to get through a lot of questions here. Senator Cruz. You know, Congressman O'Rourke gave a long soliloquy on the civil rights movement. And I'll tell you, one of the reasons that I'm a Republican is because civil rights legislation was passed with the overwhelming support of Republicans and indeed
The Dixiecrats who were imposing Jim Crow, the Dixiecrats who were beating those protesters were Democrats. And that's one of the reasons I'm proud to be a member of the party of Lincoln, a member that stands for equal rights for everyone, regardless of what race, what ethnicity. Every human being is a creation of God that our Constitution protects. But nowhere in his answer did he address the fact that when you have people during the national anthem taking a knee, refusing to stand for the national anthem, that you're disrespecting. the millions of veterans, the millions of soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines that risk and fight and die to protect that flag and to protect our liberty. And to be clear, everyone has a right to protest. You have a right to speak. But you could speak in a way that doesn't disrespect the flag, that doesn't disrespect the national anthem. And I'll tell you, those civil rights protesters would be astonished
if the protests were manifesting and burning the flag. Dr. King, that's not something Dr. King stood for. He stood for justice without disrespecting the men and women who fight for this country. I just have to say something about that. I'm so tired of hearing this bullcrap. I mean, Trump aside, I'll get to him in a second. The kneeling for the flag during the anthem issue The problem is not the kneeling and all, the problem is not that the flag is for the men and women who died. No. The problem is it's a militaristic reality television show.
and the military pays for their militaristic part of it. It's war games, it's jets flying over, it's a part of the package, it's a entertainment package that you are ruining. And Trump is very street savvy in this regard by framing it as un-American, unpatriotic and causing a big stir about that and being able to point to unpatriotic behavior as uncapitalist because you're losing ratings and losing advertising money. Yeah, there's all those elements. Putting this aside. Yes, this thought of yours, which we've discussed a lot. I just wanted to make sure people remember Yeah, well you could the problem is I have a thing that relates really what to what I'm shutting I'm shutting up what Cruz did he went through it he did his debate thing and he went after the guy and he did this and he that and
Now I'm gonna play Beto's retort to what Cruz said specifically, not to the issue at all because he doesn't address the issue. He addresses, this is why I think Beto's good, unfortunately he's easily shooken, but I think he's good at this. What he does is he deconstructs what Cruz does instead of discussing the arguing with Cruz because you can't beat Cruz he'll just beat you up because he's a kind of a semi-professional. Do we want to rewind a lot? Do we want to read the last 10 seconds of Cruz just so we're back in there? Yeah, we'll do the last 10 seconds and then cut to... We'll go to the master debater and then we'll go to Bader's retort. I'm sorry for interrupting the flow I didn't realize that's what you were doing. ...constitution protects but nowhere in his answer
Did he address the fact that when you have people during the national anthem taking a knee, refusing to stand for the national anthem, that you're disrespecting the millions of veterans, the millions of soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines that risk and fight and die to protect that flag and to protect our liberty. And to be clear, everyone has a right to protest. You have a right to speak. But you could speak in a way that doesn't disrespect the flag, that doesn't disrespect the national anthem. And I'll tell you, those civil rights protesters would be astonished if the protests were manifesting and burning the flag. Dr. King, that's not something Dr. King stood for. He stood for justice without disrespecting the men and women who fight for this country. Okay, now we go to Beto's retort. You heard Cruz's answer. First of all, he again tried to mislead you by taking a peaceful protest during the national anthem to burning a flag. No one here, myself included, has suggested that anyone should be doing that. He also grounded his answer in partisanship, talking about
the GOP being better than the Democrats. Listen, I could care less about either party at this moment. At this deeply divided, highly polarized time in our history, this moment calls for all of us, regardless of party or any other difference of race or sexual orientation, how many generations you've been here or whether you just got here yesterday. We need to come together for this country that we love so much. Yeah. Beto Butz. And on here, the next question for Senator Cruz. Nice Beto Butz. I thought he handled that perfectly. Instead of addressing any of Cruz's things, he deconstructed it. Yeah, it was very good. Very good. Now, overall though, I would say that Beto is taller, he might be more imposing, he might be... But he's no master debater.
There is no master debater that we know of and he's got the he's got the lizardy thing going on Which is kind of bothersome. He might be a lizard now We can play the Beto Cruz rundown which I believe is somebody else's analysis of the whole situation It was an incredible debate. I have to say really watching it's online if you haven't seen it But I do want to you know, this this is closer than expected this race. They really thought Ted Cruz wouldn't have any competition. What were your main takeaways from the debate? You know, I would have three takeaways. First and foremost, from a technical standpoint, Senator Cruz has debated countless times. He was even a debate debater back in his college days, and I think that really showed last night from a technical standpoint. But the second point is just what a cultural, political moment. I mean, anyone who watched that debate, that is the most perfect illustration of where we're at in our political climate in 2018 that I've ever seen.
on made this close. And I think it was interesting to hear him talk about the issue of immigration through an economic lens. That's something that many Democrats in other parts of the country haven't done. But Congressman O'Rourke sought to really make the case that the president's immigration policies aren't just—he made less of a personal appeal and more of an economic policy pitch. And I thought that was interesting, given the demographics of the state and the geographic location.
Now with that in mind, I do have to play an offbeat clip. This is not talking about, you know, Beto didn't go on with the, oh, there's, they're separating the moms from the kids and all this thing. That, which is a very, apparently such a big issue that even shows up in Ireland. And I have a Nigel Farage clip. Okay. where he's on his LBC show and his radio show and he's got this hysteric Irish woman who's going on and on about this situation with the immigrants which really began, as you pointed out, with a judicial
I guess an edict in the 90s that required the separation of the parents from the children at the border for this, whatever, for some particular reasons. It's been going on throughout the entire Obama administration, but everyone makes a scene about it. So it's all Trump's fault. But listen to this is the problem that the Democrats have is the hysteria. This is Nigel versus the hysteric Irish woman. And Donald Trump, he's a dirty rat putting those little children in cages. What kind of human being does that? Someone who's related to Hitler does that.
May, what he's doing is sending a message, don't try to come to America illegally. And it does look extremely tough, I agree with you. But May... They're doos, they're doos. But don't do that to little children. God forgive them. That is a terrible, terrible thing he's doing, getting children from their mothers and putting them in cages. What kind of... I mean, what kind of people do that? Well the alternative, May... The alternative, May, is to do what... May, the alternative is to do what Mrs May, to do what Mrs Merkel has done and to say anyone can come that wants to come. I mean, do you see this is the great issue May, that is dividing politics right across the West. It's how we deal with our borders, it's how we deal with refugee seekers, it's how we deal with illegal immigration and his message... Don't treat Nigel, you don't treat people like that. For God's sake, you don't treat people like that.
That was sad in so many ways I mean this woman believes the reporting and thinks that Donald Trump personally is ripping children away from their mothers standing there doing it jamming them into a cage oh my goodness well all right then I had a beato clip but forget that I'm gonna play my My clip from a black woman in Pasadena at a city council meeting who is very happy with ICE and what they are doing and her plight is just
It's it's something that you don't hear. Well, I didn't get off a mainstream media. You won't see it on television Prior to that we don't know we know that we originate from Africa but we've never been there. Okay, that's the first thing. The other thing I want you to know is that I grew up in Pasadena area and many of my best friends were Latino. Okay, there's a huge population, but they were Chicanos and they loved blacks. There was no problem. The reason I say this to you and the reason why it's so important right now is because I left to go to Texas and came back and was being harassed
by illegal immigrants. Not Chicanos, Mexicans. They were following me, they were looking at me like, what are you doing in Pasadena? That's how much that border had opened up. What I want to say to you is that we have been forgotten. Blacks and Africans, African Americans. And the reason why I can tell you that is because they call me EEOC. There was a paragraph for Latinos. There was a paragraph for Asians. Nothing for blacks. And I just about hit the roof. What I want to say is everyone has a right to be here. You do what you need to come legally. Can you actually hear this? Because it seems a little hard to hear for me at the moment. It's barely audible. But it's good enough. I mean, I can hear that she's irked about the fact
I'm hearing this message from more than one person. Yeah, like one of many blacks saying hey What about us you yeah, and and this EEOC Democrats you haven't done anything for us You didn't even trying to do something for us. You're making it worse. Yeah, and the EEOC thing is is also, you know, I didn't realize African Americans no longer a part of the equal opportunity movement in in California and I didn't know that either. Yeah, yeah. Well the clip is in the show and I think people should go and listen to it there. Cuz we have to move on with more things! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda!
Yeah, moving right along. So let's go over, I'm going to do the first, I'm going to start off with this separate listing or mention of the people at the Oakland meetup. Oh nice.

Ryan William Bryant, who in Spartanburg, I think he may be a Sir, South Carolina. Uh, he doesn't negative comments about PC Meg Daniel, the boy in Bath, Michigan, Patrick may calm Sir Patrick in New York City. Uh, Sir Chris, Sir Chris of the vortex ring state. Ah, yes. Island, Washington. You don't want to be in a vortex ring with your helicopter. He's there and he's saving the day. Uh, he's 50 years or last guy. And that'll be the producers for show 10 71. I want to thank each and every one of them for helping us out.
Yes, and of course thank you to everybody who came in under $50 which is anonymous. Sometimes someone who lives in, I don't know, Slovenia would want to give their name, but they want to be anonymous anyway, so they'll give under $50. We had a guy, Ben Anonymous, who I think he gave $50 or $60, but he says he's the only guy... Now I think this is wrong. I think this is a mistake. I don't think this is true. He says he's the only dude named Ben named Ben. No, oh no. I'm sure we have more. I think most people named Ben are dudes named Ben. Yes. Because if your name is Ben, you really don't have a lot of choices in life. And if you're a man, because that you never know. You end up being a guy working on machines and computers. Yeah. Ben. Dude named Ben.
So we thank everybody who came in under 50. You're on our layaway programs and our subscriptions to sustaining donations. They are very important. We appreciate it. And thank you very much and keep the checks coming. We need to make sure we have a good check flow. In case PayPal pulls the plug like they apparently did on Alex Jones. I'm looking into it to see why they did that because we've had nothing but good luck with PayPal. So they've actually been pretty good except for the Unibyte encoded stuff everything else have been pretty decent with and that is a problem, but yeah It's not much of a problem You've got it, but you know they also remember they cut it didn't they was it MasterCard or PayPal as well? Then they cut off wiki leaks. I think was PayPal wasn't it. I don't know yeah I'm pretty sure so yeah, but that's crazy What would you do if you run the company and the government comes in you know CIA? Support support InfoWars free speech man
I don't think it was the Infowars. Well, maybe, but I know that WikiLeaks was the government that was going after him and they probably went from door to door to tell people to cut off their funding. Yeah, but that was also, what's his face, from the 250 million dollar website. The door Oh Madara. Yeah, PR drama car. I'm a dog. Yeah that guy he was in charge of it that at PayPal back in the day Yeah, yeah, you can't on one hand say the social justice warrior fired me from PC Mag and not see the obvious connection between Omidyar and PayPal and we can use that there now nobody was then He's not there. Yeah
I have a very nice note to share. This is from John Overall, and you may remember him. His dad passed away earlier this month, and he's in Candinavia where he died, and he wanted to see if he could get a color guard since he was a highly decorated naval man. And so I got a very nice note from John. He says, hi Adam, please read this on the show or whatever you want to. I've got an official word from the US Navy this morning that an official honor guard will be at my dad's funeral to present colors, fold the flag and play taps. Without no agenda and the help of this community, I am not sure this would have happened. It seems the Navy doesn't need provide for out of country honors, but they sure don't make it easy to locate the correct office that you need to contact.
A big thank you to the No Agenda community is in order. Thank you, Adam, for taking my request and moving it along to Agent Orange. Thanks to Agent Orange for moving it along to his contact, a Brigadier General. And thank you to the General who gave me his personal number and a number to call and a person to talk to so I could make this happen. And thank you to the U.S. Navy for sending the team to honor my dad, CWO Ford Gerald W. Overall, for his service to the United States. You have no idea how much this means to my mom and the rest of the family to have the honors. Karma works, cheers from John overall. Hey, we pulled it off. I'm proud of the community. As expected. Yeah, it went fast though. This is very good.

I have a couple of notes and also a very interesting bill that popped up in California, your neck of the woods regarding the
The scooters, the electric scooters, the dockless motorized scooters. There should be some pictures floating around. I hope somebody sends it to me of the scooter that we had at the meet up. Somebody stole it off the street and brought it into the bar and got me to pose with it. I haven't seen that one yet. Well, line bikes. who I believe has an investment from... and this is not a bicycle, it's the scooters, the little... Yeah, this was too, this is a bird. Oh, it's a bird? Well, I think Lime has an investment from Alphabet. So there was a lot of lobbying going on for a new law for motorized scooters.
and it was signed into law on the 19th by Jerry Moonbeam, Jerry Brown, and they did something very interesting. See, one of the issues with this program Is they want a couple of things to be law and a couple of things not to be law. And I have to give props for all these companies and their uber ramrod approach. You know, jam every, just flood the cities with these things without asking any permission, without doing any real legwork. Then, or at least not a parent, then get everyone hooked on it. The kids love it. Of course, older people like me, white sis. Males we don't have smartphones, so we can't participate in this revolution this mobility revolution
Yeah, yeah, it's a revolution. It's a revolution. I think we had these when I was a kid. I'm surprised they don't have me put a bunch of these where you have like a two by four with two roller skate heads at either end and a wooden box and there's some... A soapbox. Yeah, it's like a box. Yeah. Well, so, you know, so now regulation is starting to come in, but there's a lot of lobbying. And there's a number of things that you don't want as a mobility company. There's some laws you do want and some you don't want. Now the good news is that across the board, but even in this new bill in California which is Assembly Bill 2989, there it does say you may not operate a motorized scooter upon a sidewalk except as may be necessary to enter or leave an adjacent property. So I like that.
You may not leave a motorized scooter lying on its side on any sidewalk or park a motorized scooter on a sidewalk in any other position so that there is not an adequate path for pedestrian traffic. So those are all good. But what you do not want at any time is a law that forces people to wear a helmet. I would say that's the number one problem because, you know, your usage will go down immediately. Oh yeah, because who's going to walk around with a helmet all day? Exactly. So we needed that. Which kind of goes contra to the news reports of people being hit and dying with their heads splitting open. Another two people died this week. And you also don't want speed to be limited. So here it is in California, this new law, this bill would permit a local authority to authorize the operation of a motorized scooter on a highway with a speed limit of up to 35 miles an hour. Oh my god!
Yes, and then this is the tricky one. The bill does require the operator of a motorized scooter to wear a helmet only if the operator is under 18 years of age. So this is beautiful because you also need to have a valid driver's license. or instruction permit. They lowered that, I didn't even notice that, they lowered that to instruction permit. So if you're over 18, you don't need a helmet and you know, you'll be able to drive up to 35 miles an hour on these things. Go for it! Take yourself out of the gene pool, because that's what's going to happen. That's what you're going to be doing with a little, with a product that has those little wheels and it has inadequate braking at that speed. Oh, they have a braking requirement.
Yeah, well, you'll break. You want to hear it? It's gonna stop on a dime. Oh, no, no. You want, you need to hear the definition of the braking requirement. Okay. The motorized scooter, you may not operate a motorized scooter unless it is equipped with a brake that will enable the operator to make a braked wheel skid on dry level clean pavement. That's the brake requirement. The brake requirement Means you have to be able to skid? Yes, on dry level clean pavement. So it just locks the wheel? I've never heard of something so bizarre. That's pretty weird. That's your braking requirement. So it just locks the wheel? Yeah. But that's not gonna stop ya. If you're doing 35 with those little wheels, you're gonna skid about, I don't know how many feet you're gonna go, but it's not gonna be... Blow a tire. If I were you, I'd jump off.
I'm just saying that's just the that's the law. Well good work Alphabet. You've made the world a little bit safer. So when I went to the meetup there was a bunch of these scooters flying around Oakland. Unbelievable. Well while we're on the topic, because of course this is happening in Austin, I am boots on the ground in the middle of this and I have to say Tina picked me up at the airport and we were driving back into downtown I thought there were more. I thought I think it looks like there's more of these five. It's a damn things It's just just zipping all over the place. I said I can see it I can feel it in two weeks, so I have to go out and investigate I'll find out by tomorrow. I'll know if they've dropped more in here, but got a note from Bill. He says a quick perspective I thought you might find interesting. He's from California from Silicon Valley
I believe. I was back visiting Austin this past weekend. I'm an Austin native and have been living away for the past several years and started chatting with several of the tech workers that have flooded the city while I was out one night. They remarked to me that while they're living and paying taxes in Austin, they don't see Austin as their city or as home. Instead, they see themselves as long-term tourists just there to have some fun for a few years then back home to California. To me, that's summed up how things have changed over the last few years. The city has been flooded by a group of people who refuse to invest themselves into it and just see themselves as tourists. This is the same that this is the so the effect will be the same as you see in a big concert on the grassy area and it's one of the big parks and when the concert's over you look back and it's filled with
garbage and litter and half-eaten hamburgers and the place is an outrageous mess. There's Austin coming up. Yeah, that's it. If you don't care, you're in the city, ah, this is great. Throw the stuff, just throw stuff over your shoulder. You know, and you're right. They don't have respect for the city. That's a good point. That's why they don't care about throwing the dockless scooters around and riding over the streets. Screw you, you locals. Ah, you dumb Texas hick. Yeah, you're a dumb Texas hick. Yeah, yeah. That's the way Californians are. Wow. Take it from me.
Wow. That's a good point. That's a good observation. Yeah, it's a good one. Yeah. I got a note from Nathan. He's a teacher and he was listening to Thursday's show about the climate conversation. Yeah. He says, ah man, the climate conversation had me rolling. I'm a teacher at a new high school in Washington, the Vashon High School. and he said it was okay for me to mention this, which is a very small politically left town. The science curriculum I was told to teach is only about carbon. Remember they were talking about carbon instead of carbon dioxide? Yeah. So this is so the actual science curriculum talks about carbon
and how it builds up in our systems. I teach biology, he says. Teaching kids that carbon is some kind of evil particle that we must eradicate from the atmosphere. Well, I'm not an idiot or a pussy, so I decided not to teach this away. Instead I found the article that is below and will build an entire unit off of it. I just want you to know and that you and John know that there are good people working hard in the systems that exist. I always push students to question everything and explain to them the simple truths of this country and planet. The students come alive when we have real conversation and counter ideas that are presented to them. They are not combative or angry. As my years in high school grow, it's very, very clear to me the issue we have in education is about 20% high schools and 80% universities. The kids are open and interested here but completely turn once they leave us. Love the show, always will.
But it sounds like he's gonna get killed. Thanks to show up always will man. This is my my swan song Thank you for what you do and helping all of us stay a little more sane. Yeah Oh, by the way, he says co2 only makes up 0.03 of our breathable air. Yeah. Thanks teach It's way down there. Yeah, exactly that does bring me to another agenda 2030 clip of global global warming. This is Something odd is going on here three A hot and fiery start for a mission that will study the coldest places on Earth. The new NASA satellite was launched safely onto a path that takes it almost directly over the poles. Its quest? To determine precisely how global warming is affecting the planet's ice.
ICESat-2, as it's known, is equipped with a green laser that'll fire down on glaciers and sea ice. The faster the beamed pulses of light bounce back to the satellite, the thicker the ice must be. And if the heights are seen to drop over time, it'll indicate the ice is melting. Previous observations have shown that both Antarctica and Greenland are losing mass as warm ocean water erodes their edges. And in the Arctic, the floating sea ice has lost two-thirds of its volume since the 1980s. But the changes that are occurring are often quite subtle, and scientists say only the most exacting measurement tools can tell us what's really happening.
It'll be a few weeks before ICESat is ready to start work. NASA is reassuring everyone that the laser cannot itself melt the ice it's monitoring. But look up on a dark night and you might just catch a green dot passing across the sky. I'm blind! I mean, come on! You're telling me! that it was what is this to once and all prove that the ice is melting or is this green laser for some other purposes perhaps not just measuring the ice and how will you be able to see the green dot unless you're you know over Greenland or wherever it's measuring
Come on. I don't believe this is for submarine tracking or slave zapping. Somebody who knows about green lasers can probably tell us. I mean, come on. This is a very flimsy cover they've built up on this one. Looking at the ice. I have a couple of clips I want to get out of here. One is I want this just a kind of a media clip. I want to recommend to people to be a little more cautious if they ever do interviews with the media, especially if you're a male. You don't want to sound like some sort of a lunatic, a wimp, or some sort of a screwball. Apparently there was a tornado that touched down somewhere in Canada and there's this guy that they found the interview who was very upset by this tornado because it almost took his daughter into the tornado and he was very upset about this. But I found this to be one of the
One of the worst displays of masculinity ever heard on television. When it ripped her roof, my daughter, she went flying off and I'm holding her hand. I almost let go because she was slipping and I said if she's gonna die, I'm gonna die with her. Oh man. Wow. That's just like the Wizard of Oz.
He's flying off into the tornado, really? Yeah, sure. Yeah, but no one was... nothing happened. Nobody died in the tornado. It sounds a bit like, leave Britney alone, okay? It made me fake. It sounded a bit fake. Yes. I also have a... you know how... I don't know why this has not caught on, but this John Brennan thing. Oh, did you see the note from Dudenay Muhammad? Yes, Dudenay Muhammad told us he thinks that the guy, yeah, I know, we got to find some... I have his note here. The snippet you had about Brennan had some interesting factoids that gives it some weight as these guys may have some reliable sources. Example, the use of the term shahada, which is a declination of faith that takes place when someone converts.
He says if anyone else has more info, he says let him know. Dude named Mohammed's all over it. And he's our resident Muslim, boots on the Muslim ground. So let's play this. This is a very interesting clip. It's not about Muslims in any way, but it makes me think that maybe they're doing a, I don't know what they're up to, what everyone's up to, but this is Lou Dobbs, second stringer over there at Fox. Lou Dobbs on the communist Comey and Brennan. Last night, Congressman Gohmert was with us here and he put the spotlight on something that a lot of people didn't recall or even know about James Comey's political past. Here he is.
I did not know until last week I saw an article from 2003 where Comey was bragging that yeah I was a communist until I became whatever I am now. I'd never heard that. Comey the communist. How about, who knew that? It was amazing. Well, we know that now. That 2003 article the congressman referred to from New York Magazine in which Comey says this, quote, I voted for Reagan. I'd move from communist to whatever I am now. I'm not even sure how to characterize myself politically. He's not the only member of the deep state to have an ideological turn. Leftward of Karl Marx, former CIA director John Brennan also revealing he was once a communist sympathizer during the Cold War, for crying out loud.
Are you kidding me? Joining us tonight, James Callstrom, former assistant director of the FBI. He served almost three decades in the FBI and the captain of the United States Marine Corps. Great to see you, sir. I never thought when I came back from Vietnam that there'd be a communist that was the head of the CIA. Exactly. Wow! Well, we didn't we know that Brennan had been member of the party of this maybe the Socialist Party wasn't there something that there was some other news story I recall about that doesn't surprise me. How does this guy get the clearances and now he's bitching and moaning he doesn't have clearance anymore? You know what John? How did he get one in the first place? All will be revealed in the book will be dead sadly but it will be in a book in the future. There's someone listening to this show who'll be like, hey I remember John and Adam talking about that. They were from the future.
You want to play the second half of this? Sure, I like this. I never thought when I came back from Vietnam that there'd be a communist that was the head of the CIA. You know, this boggles my mind. I grew up on the FBI television show in which they were pursuing communists. It was like, stop FBI! The guy would shoot boom boom and then the FBI would go poof, dead. Or down, not dead. Oh, he got him immediately. That was the FBI show. And there's one at the head of the CIA and one... Hold on a second. Don't you remember during the Obama years, who was, of course, was, you know, unlike Trump was run by defense intelligence, Obama being run by CIA. Don't you remember there was a whole period where they started to make the Feds look like goofy losers? The FBI, I remember us talking about it. The FBI was made into goofballs.
Yeah, it was on all the TV sitcoms that your guys and all the rest of them were putting these storylines in there where the FBI is a bunch of boneheads. In fact, they got to the point where they have to do a new whole series they somehow solicited or coerced. I'm guessing coerced, well probably with money, which is easy enough. Coerced Dick Wolf into creating a whole new series and he's the law and order guy on all these shows, he's a famous producer. I'm surprised they haven't brought him up on sexual harassment charges because he obviously doesn't like women. Oh, he's still in the program, you know, he's still delivering the goods. So he's doing a whole series on the FBI and if you watch the trailers, it's coming out in a few weeks, you watch the trailers it's like, what are you kidding me? It's like these guys are saving the world, who are really a lot different than the goofball era. Yeah.
Exactly, but they were pursuing communists and there is there's one at the head of the CIA And one I wonder if only I'm calling in Brennan were in the same like you know the same den you know like the Cub Scout den the copy in the same communist den somewhere up in the Bronx or some well It's I don't want to say that I convinced of it, but it could be possible that they would share a cell and Now that was a pun. Yeah, you can see him sharing a cell get it communist cell cell jail cell And the other guy loved this idea of a Cub Scout den of communists We have a pretty cool domain name mockingbirdlist.com which I've now and someone made a list of
all of the journalists who are suspected, I'm very clear, suspected of maybe being part of a revamped CIA Mockingbird program and that should be right now it forwards to no agenda show but I think it's gonna forward to the list. Good. Soon. Yeah it is good. I'm gonna play one last clip we'll get out of here. This is from the OTG files. This is the bin, no what's it called, the stir shaken program. Okay, I have one more clip after this and then we're good. We can leave. A virtual explosion in annoying robocalls. Estimated by next year, half the cell phone calls you receive will come from scammers. Do you trust your phone? Not at all. I don't
I don't ever answer it. Telephone industry programmer Alec Finischel shows us how easy it is with the right software for robocallers to swoop in. You can call anyone in the world, pretending to be anyone else in the world. Jim Dalton of TransNexus says the industry has found a solution. Stir or shaken, it's called. There'll be some work, but it's not a major change of the telephone network. Phone companies can use StirShaken to authenticate the number for every call with a digital fingerprint. Calls without that special ID may be flagged or even blocked. Problem is, StirShaken appears to be on hold.
The FCC tells NBC News, we believe that this industry-led effort is the fastest way and hope some companies will implement it within the year. Today an industry spokesperson tells NBC News, users should see improvements by late next year. But consumer advocate Maury Mahoney wants to know who will pay for it. We want the FCC to ensure that it's free for consumers. With consumers scammed out of more than 9 billion dollars last year alone, returning trust to the phone network is critical. Yeah, so I think the key here is, you know, you get a verified token, which I'm not too crazy about having. Some verified thing, so you know that it's really me calling.
And what happened to Pocahontas? Wasn't she supposed to stop this? Pocahontas has done nothing. She's a big phony. The amount of calls I get, and they do now, is they call from 512 area code. Yes, I have to say I've seen the same phenomena You don't get so much because I have a landline through Sonic and they have one of these systems implemented which blocks Probably more than 75% of these point fake. Oh, that's and my cell phone is always off. So I never write anything on that Now I just wanted to play this one last clip. All right, and this is the one and people have seen this This is the woman is pink lady. That's Marina. What's her name? She's from being hauled off code pink. Oh
She's a code pink woman, she's being hauled off, and I'm watching this thing and they're looking at the Twitters, oh, she said the right thing, she gave a nice speech. Where was this? I didn't see it. It was one of these think tank meetings. She jumped onto like the CFR stage or something? Yeah, pretty much. And then they dragged her off. She was yelling at this group. The problem I have with it is she was obviously miked. Oh, really? Oh my goodness. Because if you've ever heard anybody hauled off one of these things, you hear him as an echoey, hey, stop it. You're killing me. You know, it's not she was miked and I don't think it was a shotgun mic. It didn't have the characteristics of a shotgun mic. It had the characteristics of a lab. And I have the beginning of this clip where you can hear it where they'd Mike where she's Mike and then they bring her up.
You can hear in the background, and she's very clear. And they're bringing her up, and I don't see anybody following her with a mic. I don't see any way that they could have this so crystal clear the whole time. She's miked, and they have it going through the board, and it goes right on the C-span. It's as phony as it comes. The most ridiculous thing I have seen. The world community wants to keep the Iran nuclear deal. Our allies are the Germans, the French, the British. They want to keep in this deal. The world community wants to keep the deal. Let's talk about
The guy's dragging her off for less audible than she is presumably they're right on top of her I want to ask Do you think these sanctions are hurting the regime or are they hurting the Iranian people? They're hurting the Iranian people. Okay, what's the source of the video? You said C-SPAN? Yeah. Huh. Now it goes, she's being dragged off and it's a, and she's being dragged off and she's being, she's not at the podium, her decibels stay the same the whole time. And she says, you're actually hurting me, because it wasn't in the script for it to hurt.
Ah, good catch and I think you're right. She said you're actually hurting me. Yeah, troll room catch. So they're holding her off, they're moving her out and this entire 90 seconds is very clear as if it's... but who's sending this message? I think she's a sincere Code Pink person but I... I wonder, this whole thing is so scamish that it really bugs me. Did you play the whole thing? No, I got another 30 seconds. It has a nice little ending to it. We're making a case for war with Iran. How did the war with Iraq turn out? You're doing exactly the same thing we did in the case of Iraq. We don't want another war in the Middle East. Let's see. How does Iraq turn out? How does Libya turn out?
people of Syria suffering. And how dare you bring up the issue of Yemen? It's the Saudi bombing that is killing most people in Yemen. So let's get real. No more war. Peace with Iran. I tend to agree with you. It doesn't sound extremely direct as I would like it for a let's say a not a lav microphone But I presume that it's underneath her clothing so that it was it would stay on so the sound is consistent and that's really the thing her voice level is consistent throughout this whole ordeal while the people who are trying to drag her off are not. So I agree and this means that C-SPAN or the producers of this event which may very well have been an in-house event or you don't know, someone is complicit and said oh Code Pink's gonna jump up here let's mic them.
And let's give her some hair and makeup. She's probably outside waiting to jump in and say, hey, do you mind if we mic you? That way your message can get through. Yeah, and they get hair and makeup and they had the floor director ready to cue her. Yeah, sounds like, yeah, good catch. Very good catch. Yeah, this is a complete setup. It's a fake. And it's just like who, why, where, we don't know any reason because nobody else would even catch this fake except this show. Because we have some chops That is the phoniest thing I've ever seen I got the biggest kick out all these people on Twitter going all worked up about oh look at this What a great job is you to get her message wardrobe had the pink t-shirt ready and everything was great All right, everybody. That is our show for today and we return on Thursday Excuse me with another episode of the best podcast in the universe. We deconstruct the news you come for that and you stay for the stories and
I think or something like that. Yeah, who cares? I care because they stay. Yeah, stay people seem to like it We appreciate that if you're listening to knowage in the stream calm we have rock and roll geek show coming up next with Zell Clemson And I am coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state, FEMA Region 6 on the governmental maps in the 5x9 Cluedio in the common law condo for now.
