I have no time to rest and watch something. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak last Thursday, October 31 2019. This is your award
winning get one nation media assassination episode 1186. This
is no agenda, voting on a vote to vote and broadcasting live
from opportunity's own 33 in the frontier of Austin, Texas
capital at the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all noticed
that neither team could win one single home game, but a bunch of
losers. I'm John Cena var. Raglan Buzzkill.
Yes, I know what you're referring to. We're very sad
here in Texas.
As the home team,
they they got their pants beat
could not Well, the other team did, too. Neither team could win
one game at home. And I know the first time in the history by the
way, just really? Yeah. First time in history. Okay, first
time in history. Oh, I didn't realise it was historic. Yeah,
but it was embarrassing. Okay. Too bad. Yeah, too bad today?
Well, the game is over is at the end of the season. Baseball is
done. Good.
When is it? When is the Super Bowl is not cranking up pretty
soon. Next week, ready for it. I'm ready for the bowl, the big
bowl. That's what I'm ready for. All right, I'm going to remind
us, I'm going to remind us from my list here. Because way too
often to the good things get discussed outside of the show,
just by accident, and I wrote down we need to discuss the
Logitech mouse.
So my battery went out again, on the Logitech mouse,
which is in three weeks. I
know it was a lot longer than that, but maybe you went out.
And so we got into the discussion and Adam decides to
be the big dog and just bury me with all the crazy crap that his
Logitech mouse can do that I've never heard of my Logitech
mouse, we've got a mouse the size apparently is the size of a
bulldog that's got all these features.
It is actually big and it's heavy. And I really like it, it
has kind of like a gyroscopic wheel as the scroll wheel which
you can set on clicks physical clicks, so did click, click,
click, click, click click, or you can set it to freewheel and
you just and you flick that wheel and your pages go up and
your pages go down.
As a beautiful, make that noise. Yes,
listen. And it has two buttons on the side. In a web browser,
you can go forward or back. So with your thumb, you can say
I'll just go back a page click that is actually quite handy.
And it's a very good mouse. And I do not need batteries as often
as you do. But that's the mouse striking back at you as
well, my masters has a number of features. It's got a scroll root
wheel that may or may not do what yours does. It's got two
little buttons on the left side and none on the right. And it's
got a little button in the middle, like a third mouse
button and it's got the regular two buttons. But the question
that came to mind as you are going on and on about the
virtues of your mouse.
Hey, I like my mouse. Yeah.
Was take take over the mouse industry. What else were
they going to do? I know how they did it. I know how they did
I know what their magic feature was. Okay, go. It's the USB
dongle. Everyone was dicking around with USB mice. And it's
you know, they would work and then it wouldn't work especially
on the Mac it would crap out and then you know, then of course,
Apple came with their magic mouse whoop, which was you know,
ergonomically just didn't feel right. And these guys had the
plug and play just plug in the USB dongle, boom, this thing
works. You don't have to worry about it. I think that was a
success
that I will agree with that you stick that little radio dongle
and it's not it's not like Bluetooth is not you know, it's
like something else. It's their own thing is to get in and his
mouse works.
It's yeah, it's still two, two and a half gigahertz I think.
But yes, all works well. It's
still using the frequency but it's not Wi Fi.
So let that be a lesson. If you're going to start a company,
dongles dongles, when
will they definitely have taken over the business? And now he
would max even use them.
And now on to the important news of the day that I watched all
morning. Watch these Jumoke. The Congress, the representatives in
the House, discussing why they should have a vote to then
subsequently be able to vote on
on a vote that we're going to vote on,
it's pretty much what it is. is although to be honest, it is
setting up the guidelines and the rules for whatever continued
inquiry they're going to do. And as you'd expect, it was all the
Republicans voted against one independent voted for I don't
know who that was. And all but two Democrats voted for so
that's passed. And it's a resolution which I did look it
up and it's really just like, well, we'll be fair, and we'll
let the President's team interview witnesses and there's
some subpoena powers and but in the, I think, in the parlance of
Joe on the street, say, well, they voted to impeach him. I
think that's the whole point. People see this like, Oh, this
is impeached. Is he gone? Is he done? It's getting close. It's
getting real bad yeah, I think that's about all I have on the
matter. I mean, I I tried to well, actually, here's this is
from yesterday, I recorded everything this morning. And
Pelosi came out. And she was she did it wasn't even worth
listening to for the show. Some guy put up a set up an easel I'm
like, Oh, now we're gonna get a presentation. Now just put up a
flag or printed flag. He's on she stood next to it like, Oh,
yes. Article, one new and audible. Please, Nancy Skeletor.
Go away. It's the whole show. I keep having to explain to people
this you have to understand this is wrestling. This is the
format. Trump's Trump was in the wrestling organisation. WWE was
an E, then I guess there'll be W E or WWF?
I don't know. At the time, I
don't know. He knows how to do this. It's just a big show. And
it's no it's gone on too long now.
It has gone on too long. And it's getting tedious.
here's the here's Pelosi yesterday, she was asked a
question about the Articles of Impeachment, since Al Green
wants to have racism as one of the articles. President's a
racist, we have to impeach him. We need racism to be one of the
articles of impeachment and Pelosi pretty much had the same
answer consistently.
Well, for an impeachment, Articles of Impeachment to
succeed. I hadn't really actually seen his articles of
impeachment, that racism we'll deal with that resolution on the
floor. But as I have said over and over again, with all the
respect in the world for Mr. Green is very prayerful person.
And it cares very much about our Constitution. And
she says this a lot, very prayerful person. I don't think
I've really ever heard this use that often the term prayerful, I
have
to assume it's some sort of an insult
even though it's a Democrat, Al Green, yeah, probably
he cares very much about our Constitution and our country. So
as I say, with all the respect in the world for him, we have
six committees that are working on following the facts in terms
of any abuse of power, obstruction of justice and the
rest that the President may have engaged in. That is the serious
path that we are on. Mr. Green is not serious, but I'll deal
with that on the floor. We voted to table it. I don't know what
we will do. Deal with it on the floor. A lot
of dealing with it on the floor. So I guess that's what's gonna
happen all day. They're going to be dealing with it on the
table. A lot of stuff on the floor wasted. So Misha, clean up
the place,
we're wasting everybody's time. It's tiring. It's not even fun
to pull dumb clips.
Yeah, it's all green. You know, we do have a clip from him from
a few weeks back where he says the only reason we got to
impeach him because he's gonna get reelected.
Yes, this is the new see. Here it is.
You've been calling before starting Articles of Impeachment
since 2017. But a new Quinnipiac poll taken after the release of
the redacted Mueller report found that 66% Say Congress
should not start impeachment proceedings and there's a sharp
partisan divide, as we all know it only 4% of Republicans
favouring impeachment. Congressman, are you concerned
that impeachment talk may actually help the President's
reelection?
I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will
get reelected.
Yes, we can't have that. Do these people understand what
they're saying?
I think not.
I mean, Woe is me.
They don't share what they're saying. Let's go back to a
classic clip. Right. I pulled a couple of classes.
Oh, you pulled some classics. Okay. Well, we did regarding war
because we do have some other stuff to talk
about. No, no, it's about people don't don't pay much attention
to what they're saying. Ah, okay. This is the classic my
Muslim faith.
Sorry. Yeah, this is This is a different favourite, but hold on
a second. Why am I not seeing an under M? Centre? Classic? And
I'm not seeing an under C? Two dozen eight. Oh, there you go. I
could have known.
John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're
absolutely right that that is not my Christian faith.
Please, although Obama did come out
in the past, finally, no,
that would be incorrect. Now he has his Obama Foundation and
they had a summit and so all the children are on stage and you've
probably only accept two. Well, I pulled the it's about a minute
40 Okay, let's just listen to it. I thought it was the
question is Who was he really directing it at? And but in
general, it was interesting that he came out and said this
because he's right,
you know, this, this idea of purity and you're never
compromised, and you're always politically woke and all that
stuff. You should get over that quickly. The world The world is
messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff,
have flaws. The people who you are fighting may love their
kids. And, you know, share certain things with you. And I
think that one danger I see among young people, particularly
on college campuses, Molly and I talk about this younger goes to
school with my daughter. But I do get a sense sometimes now
among certain young people and this is accelerated by social
media. There is this sense sometimes of the way of me
making change is to be as judgmental as possible about
other people. And that's enough, like if I tweet or hashtag about
how you didn't do something right, or use the word wrong
verb or this is
what I thought was kind of interesting that no one has said
anything about there's no issue with people using the wrong
verbs. The word the President couldn't find was pronoun, but
for some reason he said verb
about how you can't do something right or use the word wrong verb
or then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself because
man you see how woke I was. I called you out get on TV. Watch
my show. Watch grown ish.
Which is also interesting since you know after blackish there is
actually a show called mixed ish which he should be watching that
not grown ish.
Watch my show. Watch grown ish catch, you know that's not
that's not activism. That's not bringing about change. You know?
If all you're doing is casting stones you're probably not gonna
get that far. That's easy to do.
So of course we we mocked the president but I liked that he
said that and I liked it. A lot of news media picked it up and
people should hear this and maybe they'll listen to the
former president Why not come on listen to the pres
go together listen to him Don't you verb and pronoun was a good
point to make Yeah, couldn't make it didn't make the point.
And no one called him out on it that's that's kind of meta. Hey
Obama. I'm calling you out for using the wrong sing in call out
wrong word wrong word man. All right back to the track we want
to track go I was on a track
Yeah, cuz I interrupted was my Muslim faith clypeus device got
more to say and then you never said it? No, it
was it was about Obama's you know, that's that was the track.
That was the track. Well, then let's let's mess with another
president. Let's mess with the with President Trump with I
mean, if it wasn't bad enough that we killed Baghdadi for the
third time. We
buried him at sea. I'm sorry. I can't even say it. It's so
stupid.
How do we bury a bunch of scrapings from it? See that's
what I said on Twitter.
It was Yeah, exactly. It's like a pencil sharpener cake. Just
spread that over the ocean. And you won't get to see any
pictures. Oh, no, none of that.
But what pictures you get to see if he blew himself up. Did you
hear the latest one though? They get modified it.
Okay, so just Just so we're clear, and then I want to hear
the modification. When Obama killed Bin Laden, it was exactly
the same. Meow, we had buried him at sea. That was money, even
though the guy is killed all these people responsible for
911. Instead, they said, Oh, no, no, we respect the Muslim faith,
we have to bury him at sea, and you can't handle looking at
those pictures. And everyone in the media went, Okay. And that
was it. We never saw pictures. We don't know if it was really
him. You know, of course, they identified DNA through some a
vaccination programme and the whole thing was so sketchy. And
now Trump does exactly the same. Exactly the same.
And I will mention, as somebody on Twitter pointed out, how does
this desert living clan develop a practice of burying people at
sea? There's no oceans around Mecca.
That's a very good point. And then we have all the animations
of the compound and then this insulting video which is clearly
been overlaid with the filter to make it look all grainy because
you know, God forbid people understand that we can see a
pimple on your ass from outer space. Oh, no, it's hard to see
it's a little grainy. Even the compound looks similar
to that well, yeah, yeah, well, I think all come
Oh, they forgot to do is leave a stealth helicopter behind for
the Chinese to pick up everything else was exactly the
same script, the same director on the animations, which they
just whip up like, this is really important. Yeah, let's
get the 3d guys aren't it? Yeah, let's, we need to show people
how this work plays. Lies. But I guess that's how you end a war.
Right? I guess that's how you end the you leave that for your
legacy. Right? I talked to panic about it.
Oh, I will. I will before I have my little clip. I want to hear
what he had to say.
He said, Well, of course you said total bull crap. He said
but this is exactly why is he doing this is the AD This is not
him. To this is
this is I get the feeling. It's not him. It's his rogue
actors who have some agenda that either he's playing into or
doesn't care or whatever. Maybe he likes it. I mean, to be
honest, when you can get up and and talk like, you know, the big
man, he died like a dog. Well, let me play a little clip. So as
an alternative version, if you will.
Last night, the United States brought the world's number one
terrorist leader to justice. Abu Bakar, Al Baghdadi, Abu Abu
Bakar, Abu Bakar, Danny,
come on, John, nod your head sing along.
A comment about searching the car for Baghdadi abou many years
back daddy abou died after running into a dead end tunnel.
Abu Baghdadi is dead.
This is much better. This is what you'd expect from our first
black president to do some, you know, slow jams and kind of roll
it out. No, it takes the white guy to do it. Right.
Well, the funny thing is ABC starting to do this sort of
thing. They have a feed. CBS started this feed so it's called
CBS and and ABC is the CBS ABC today or something. And it's a
news. It's just a 24/7 bunch of people going on and on about
various news stories very tight. And Ellen is a little more
produced and in time started and CBS is version but they have a
musical bed over the whole thing to La
cat as it continues to Gus they're 60 to 80 mph and mainly
that's the one that you want me to play.
No wonder we're talking about Baghdadi.
Well you said ABC I'm sorry.
Yeah, ABC I got I got no but that that clip.
I'm out of control. I don't know what to do. Your Jim So Judy
with it. What am I doing?
So they brought up so I just told you that part about this
but the musical bed because I have about five clips from this
operation. Oh, I'm sorry. And they're all annoying. Well, I
was
sad that I noticed. So first of all, so they if it's anything
like I just heard in that preview clip. This is somehow
some old radio guy. Casey he has worked his way into the news
division. They say that shit let him deal with the overnights you
take care of that. It's like it's way too dry. Man. We need
to spruce it up a little bit. We need a little music bed and then
he called him production. and had these you know, of course
because you can't just use any music so they cost another five
five grand to licence it and that's and this is going to be
the result I guess this is
oops, here's the clip and but what's interesting is up because
they've embellished it, they've told the story a new way, which
makes zero sense about how Baghdadi died, but it brings to
mind the spider a whole and it brings to mind the tagging in a
in a tube or whatever the what's his name did, but this is an ABC
this really this this clip is called Baghdadi story spider
hole.
harrowing new video released of the raid that killed ISIS leader
Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. This video from the Pentagon showing
airstrikes taking down ISIS supporters outside Baghdadi is
combat troops moving in single file, then the compound
flattened the Pentagon confirmed Baghdadi quote crawled into a
hole with two small children and blew himself up while his people
stayed on the ground, but was unable to confirm President
Trump's claim. Baghdadi was whimpering and crying in his
last moment. Officials also revealed the military dog used
in the mission was slightly wounded during the chase by live
electrical wires. The four year veteran has since returned to
duty. You're right. It's the format is part of the format
when we end a war. The end save we're basically Japanese save
face is we make so Saddam Hussein was in the spider hole.
Gadhafi was in the sewer pipe. And this one who in this way,
and I have to say Trump did it did one better he died like a
dog like a dog in a tunnel with kids.
So why would he take grab two kids and go into this hole and
then blow himself up? Does this make sense to anybody? No.
Now makes zero so the whole thing in the little animations?
Come on. It's insulting. Just in so and then apparently they've
you know. And now of course, everyone's going nuts over this.
Let me see what I have here. Apparently, among documents
found in Baghdad is ISIS compound. They always have
30,000 emails. Yes. Yes. comes from the US State Department
from 2010 to 2011. Classified but you know who was in the
State Department? I mean, this is just it's, it spawns so much.
Bull crap and distraction. And when
they showed when they showed the overhead shots, I don't only saw
it on this crazy report of the bombs hitting the area. Yeah,
from wherever. Yeah. I don't know if it's from a bomber.
I mean, it's reversed video because you know, I mean, with
an iPhone. It's even the iPhone five that I use which is of
course cloaked but have you seen the iPhone with the three
cameras? You can get a shot with that that is unbelievable. No we
have to have the inverted video reverse black is white white is
black pretty soon as your explosion you can't do anything
it's it's a scam and they should be ashamed it
could be a complete scam but if they're going to tell us that
they show this bomb hitting the compound which look like
blockbusters and blow up pretty big Yeah. Oh that Smithereens
out of anything in the vicinity should it killed Baghdadi and
pulverising torch those papers? But no for some reason the guy
ends up in a tube with two kids and his bed his suicide belt it
is a bunch of carefully organised papers from Hillary
Yeah, this makes people buy in any of this.
Well, yes, of course if you watched Fox, they're all in on
it. And they were all angry which of course was pretty funny
about the Washington Post had their head their headline and it
was mocked endlessly as what was their headline? I'll stare now
where is it now? I'm sure you read this
John didn't you know you're talking about the old bit?
Yeah, well the old bit it was the headline he was the off
stare religious
man yeah cleric uh well well alerted scholar
Astaire religious scholar that's what I was looking for. Yeah,
and and why now besides the fact that that was totally feeding
the right wing and five him what is the point of them doing that?
I mean, is that their their wink saying yeah, we know this is
bullcrap. You didn't kill anything because I could see it
that way if but I have no I don't they just say it. Why
doesn't anyone just go hey, this sounds like bull crap. We killed
this guy three guys, three times before.
Remember the guy the guy that we killed two or three times? Just
the one eyed guy. the Marlboro Man, the more beheaded yet named
after a pack of cigarettes ago was in I guess he was in the
north Sahara or some area like that. Hey, mister Africa and he
was killed. We killed him two or three, two or three times.
Let me see was at this point. intelligence officials believe
this is the mastermind of the attack that he looked hard belt,
a ruthless Moke tar ball Makara that's the guy
who bizarrely also runs an African organised crime network
that reportedly has made 10s of millions of dollars in ransom
from kidnappings and the successful smuggling of
diamonds, drugs and cigarettes.
But also and we've forgotten about it because it's so long
ago. Let's just remember those videos those ISIS videos the
highly produced they don't do that anymore. I guess the the
studio shut down or something? Yeah, the London studio shut
down. Yeah, they had the you know, they had the flames the
guy in the cage and they had the beheadings, which always cut to
black right at the right moment. And they had the dramatised
sound even true tomb tomb and slo mo of these
isolettes play over it relentlessly.
Yes, well that is that's actually one of our
we now play it relentlessly
Well, no, we long time ago we just we decided or around this
time that it would make sense to set up a reminder for people at
the home but it's going on with my system here Oops. Oh boy.
Here we go don't need to know what they need to know agenda
is the show that's really you need donate to no agenda list to
John Adams be that own a to a no agenda. Science is turning into
Klieg.
I mean that's promotion right
there. But they stopped was based based on it recruitments
I don't want to say anything but yeah, based on now we both have
a we both have the Sharpton gaff I have it lined up.
I have the whole thing followed by my I took a ISO which
combined it gaff twice. Yeah.
All right. Yes, he did. Well, if you got if you got some editing
work in there, I don't want to. Well, I
have editing work done only on the ISO. Okay, what do you have
the full clip to I have the full clip. It's called sharp. Dan.
Where is it? My naming this. Yeah, you're out of whack to
complete? Yes. Terrible to them. Sorry. Complete Sharpton
Baghdadi comment.
Gotcha. So here is the full on.
President Trump said that because of the killing of Al
Baghdadi, that dag me that the world is a better place. And I
would give credit to he and those that were responsible for
it. But we have a lot of work that must still be done in the
area of terrorism in the same area of the world, where Al
Baghdadi Baghdadi was an in our own nation.
So that was him screwing up and I combined the first half of the
second to make this go ISO
Al Baghdadi, Baghdad de Baghdad, Baghdad, he was
good and to show why. So for me what a tool and you know, he's
sitting there, he's probably just sitting there going, Man, I
hope I don't mess this up. Because he always says, my
critics. He says my critics were like that I did that. And then
because he's thinking that at the top of the show, he goes
into all crap back did he bagged it back? Oh, man. Millions, the
guy makes millions, millions, millions. I tell you, good for
him. See now of course, we've already heard that the President
was lame because ISIS already had a new leader and Baghdadi
probably wasn't running the group anyway. And then the Obama
White House photographer said wow, that that picture of you
and the and the and the boys and bras and that was staged? Yeah,
they were all looking at the camera. Of course it was staged.
But what he's saying it wasn't as good as the one with with
Hillary and Obama in the in the War Room. You know, he's just
not good enough. That president is
shot that that guy took. Yes, exactly. So he's dashmesh I woke
up I didn't win a Pulitzer for that's what he's saying.
Precisely. Horrible, man. Anyway, so yeah, I'm not buying
by the way That's the one if you look at it carefully, that's
where Hillary's smelling her finger.
I don't know anything about that. Yeah, you can take a look
at the picture. She's smelling her finger.
Yes, you look at that picture and you can see it. Okay. Until
oh, by the way, that just a little aside. Did you follow the
little episode where Trump? Trump posted a picture of him
giving a dog?
Yeah. Which was the honour. Well, someone photoshopped that,
obviously. Yeah. And then I saw a series everyone goes nuts.
It's photoshopped. No kidding. I mean, it's, I don't even know
what to say at this point. It's so I mean, I guess I guess
that's what Obama meant by we're not all perfect. Sometimes good.
People do weird stuff. I love it. Because for us, you know, we
know exactly what he's doing. He's trolling the media. And
they all bite on it. It's just come on. And it was a dog
talking about biting. I mean, it's just nuts.
Ah, good one. Talking about biting, twisted German Shepherd
telling you who was apparently slightly wounded that I didn't
know.
Yeah, dogs get wounded the boy good boy. Yes. Oh, all right. So
we got that out of the
way. Yes. Thanks. Good. Yeah. Thank God. Thank goodness we
did. Well, we might as well stick with a little bit of this,
since it's top of the hour. Little bit of Lucy anymore
impeachment stuff we need to talk about. I mean, what is this
one so fast? And maybe just good to reiterate that it was three
weeks, not even four weeks ago that the transcript came out and
we read the transcript and didn't see any issue. And now
fast forward, we're voting to vote. And apparently, the
ellipses in the transcript were words that were not included in
the final transcript. So now there's three Yes. Now there's
some controversy over Yeah, this ellipses or doesn't, you know,
paren, dot dot dot Perkins, and in two spots, and apparently
that is that's where Trump said something of great importance
that should immediately have him rousted from the Oval Office, or
something like that, huh? Yes, terrible. Well, yeah. All right.
So let's look at the most recent Hillary rumour, do you have
anything because you know, we're still kind of waiting to
celebrate your win.
I literally beg to get pretty soon because the deadline for
some of these primaries is around October 5, November
November 5, November 5, so she has to do make her move by No,
I'd say by the end of the month, which is like tomorrow, today is
the end of the month. So tomorrow is the end of the
month. Yeah.
Tomorrow's the 32nd. Today is the 31st. Okay. Here, Bill
Clinton was on some kind of panel. It's only a very short
soundbite. So I may have to play it twice. And the question was,
Is Hillary running? She may
or may not ever run for anything, but I can't legally
run for president again.
Maybe the question was, will we see it Clinton in the White
House? But he left it open? She may or may not right. Well, what
if it's not this? What would she run for? PTA?
Well, I don't think she'd get that gig. I don't know. I don't
know what what the point of that was and what he was trying to
get out. He wasn't I don't know. All I know is it's got to happen
pretty soon. She could skip a primary or two and not really
hurt herself and she might want to do that because the New
Hampshire and Iowa the first two that come up once a caucus.
Those are never really predictive and people have won
those and lost it can Bernie's probably a shoo in to win New
Hampshire. Right? So are Warren either one of them? They're from
the area so is it slant gotta be slanted, so maybe she's just
skipping jumping in South Carolina times where she would
win.
Tom Steyer is doing the rounds. He got a nice piece in The New
York Times today. You know what, you know, he's still he's still
I finally wrote
advertising in New York Times, so they had to give him some
space. I know what you're telling me. I
think that's exactly what it is. And this was all well, you know,
he was Tom Steyer. Yep yep. Yep. He was right all along his work
it did it. Because he, you know, that was his whole thing was the
impeach now movement, whatever which he spent, they say, double
digit millions. So apparently that is, thank you very much,
Tom. Steyer. You've done it but yeah, more likely to Just needed
to add a little bit of benefit for the big advertiser that he
is.
Yeah, I'm sure that took him out to dinner too. Very common.
But what is interesting is Twitter coming out and saying
that they will not take any political advertisements for the
2020 election.
Now, this is a company I would consider shorting for making the
kind of a decision. And they
say they only have $3 million lined up. I mean, this just so
everyone understands. The biggest moment of all media
advertising, in particular television ads in the past four
years online is an election newspapers. It also newspapers,
but a lot of it goes towards television, newspapers, I know
that's where you get your extra Benny's. But yes, I agree for
Twitter to say all you know, now Now we're not going to do that.
Is Jack Dorsey really that ideological? Is he really trying
to be kumbaya on this
is not benefiting the shareholders I'd roust him
well. Face bag skyrocketed after their earnings yesterday, which
came on the heels of this Twitter announcement and face
bag saying no, no, no, we're, we're we think it's fair. We
think yeah, it's not idiots. Now, of course, do you know how
much they made in the third quarter revenue?
I don't know. I didn't notice
$17.6 billion in border in a quarter. Yeah, that's insane.
And 90% of it from mobile advertising. Now I don't have
Facebook anymore anymore. And I think most people use it on
their phone. But believe they shouldn't it's not from a
display ad you saw on your I mean, they call it advertising.
No, I'm not buying it. This is from all the data and everything
they're tracking on you and every other app that is
connected to the to the graph. It's
huge just that you're just a guinea pig if you have mobile
Facebook,
but now they're kept their cost did go up quite a bit. I think
they had an extra that went from seven to 10 billion in in in
they just I read it as cost so we still they had their
profitable I don't know by how much. But that's quite an
increase in costs. And that of course, is people that they've
they've had to bring in to censor everything and they've
got their high commission command and they when will when
Will everybody just give up on this dribble? Dribble vert
dribble. There are people very upset about face bag, saying
they will not ban political advertisements as it relates to
Brexit. As we now oh, let me check up. Oh, my God. Aren't
they supposed to leave today? Isn't this the last day?
That's right. Today's today? Yeah, no. Well, let's see who
hit that one on the on the nose. Right that you did. Yeah, of
course. This is not going to happen. And I had a lie. Of
course, I wanted to set it first. Yep.
And now it'll be interesting to see what happens we'll general
election. Well, general election and who is going to benefit from
knowing how to work face bag?
I mean, will it be Brexit party?
That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking the Brexit party. No,
it now is. Have we heard is Faraj all in he's running for to
be elected? Or is he holding Johnson's feet to the fire? Or
do we know anything of any strategy? Well,
I can tell you from listening to his LBC show for a long time
that he I believe, was holding his feet to the fire but then
that this is the sidetrack that took place because Johnson was
outflanked by the vote both parties actually and lost his
majority and is going to be out. But they have to do but nobody
wants to take the job, which is the joke of it. And frankly,
he's still running the place. True by the way.
Tim was like I'll do it next time. I'm good. I'm good with
this Pm
stands. So they're going to have another general election which
will put all kinds of should make a huge change that the
Liberal Democrats think they're going to pick up some seats, so
the worst. And then there's the Brexit party, which hopes to
make some some inroads. I don't they probably won't do as well
as they should.
But now his dominant coming fiasco is Dominic Cummings. Is
he working with Faraj? You know who he is right? The No. Oh,
he's the guy who did the whole exit
campaign and all that killed right together but the movie
about Yeah. Because I
know he was he went into the Boris Johnson camp. I guess he's
got no I'm reading his article right here, Dominic Cummings to
remain at Boris Johnson side in election campaign. So he's the
guy who knows how to do it. Yeah, yeah.
It'd be very he knows how to do it to a point because he hasn't
done it.
Well, he wouldn't be he did the Brexit vote. All right. He
wasn't able to mind control the members of parliament.
Apparently, the people worked fine. I guess it's the people's
fault. Thank you for clarifying. Boris did do a little tribute to
the Speaker John Bercow as this is his This is his final group.
I don't know how many times we're gonna say goodbye to this
guy. But
like a bad penny.
I think this is it.
But Mr. Speaker, I know the whole house will want to join me
in recording that after 10 tumultuous years this is your
last Prime Minister's questions. And as befits a distinguished
former Wimbledon competitor, you have sat up there in your high
chair and not just as an umpire, ruthlessly adjudicating on the
finer points of parliamentary procedure with your trademark,
Tony Montana scout. And Mr. Speaker, not just as a
commentator offering your own opinions on the rallies you are
watching sometimes acerbic and sometimes kindly, but above all,
as a player in your own right, peppering every part of the
chamber with your own thoughts and opinions. Like some tennis
ball machines. I'm uncomfortable tennis ball machine, Mr.
Speaker, delivering a series of literally unplayable
unreturnable, formally returnable volleys and smashes
and although we may disagree about some of the legislative
innovations that you have, and you've cared so deeply for the
rights of backbenchers that you've done more than anyone
since Stephen Hawking to stretch time, particularly as we come to
the end of what must be the longest retirement since Frank
Sinatra, Mr. Speaker, I'm sure the whole house will want to
join me in thanking you and I'm hoping that you enjoy your
retirement the soothing medicament that you described.
Yeah, still not Yeah, that Johnson has that understated
British style of humour that is only at the upper reaches of the
society. It's very
it's not available to the funny it's not available to the common
or this kind of humour at all. And you had in the newsletter a
whole list of countries where crap is going on?
That was a long list to actually wanted to
add a why I emailed you and said you add the Netherlands with the
farm ID I added them now there's something else going on the
Netherlands after the farmers not checked it. They haven't the
Christmas the nitrogen crisis.
Right where there are nitrogen. So we're ll nitrogen soil based
nitrogen is been where else Where else is rationed by the
EU?
Where else is night does nitrogen emit in what other
sectors in the building sector construction? I guess, I guess
is maybe when they make cement or something somewhere. I don't
know this. So check this out because of the nitrogen crisis.
This is this is the headline in the Netherlands because of the
nitrogen crisis. The government has put on hold for months now.
18,000 construction permits. So the building sector has stopped.
And now they're like what and so now the building contractors and
construction guys are going to The Hague. I don't know if
they're going with cranes and sledgehammers, but now they
could do some damage. But they're already the government
is already talking about emergency payments for people
who
are going to go details on this. Well,
as it turns out, I am going to get mo lowlands I will be doing
Sunday show from there. I have been in not invited to
participate, which means they paid for a ticket and anything
to go see my kid a free trip, right. I've been invited to
celebrate 100 years of radio in the
Netherlands. So you're not that old.
So this will undoubtedly be a television show with a whole
bunch of people with the face perfect for radio on television,
which is always a little jarring. And I will be there
through Thursday for the Thursday show, that's just
logistics. And I will get a boots on the ground report as
well as hopefully some information about the farmers in
Germany but I think this is a scam. You think well, but it's a
scam. It's not the farmers aren't really protesting they're
not really up in arms and they
have farmers basic scam. What about the nitrogen? No, no,
no, hold on. That's the Netherlands. Now I'm talking
about journal itoa. Germany. Yeah, now I'm talking about
Germany, German, the Germans. Apparently the German farmers
are up in arms, but not for the same reasons as the Dutch and up
in arms. And this report, which you're only going to hear there
was one tractor parked near near some government office. You when
you hear the players involved, you understand it, but Oh, no,
the Germans are not just protesting. They are suing
Deutsche government.
Well, I'm here outside the courthouse with perhaps a very
physical symbolic representation of the farming community here
tractors have actually shut down the road outside of the
seriously
one tractor in the shot, no be rolled. So no. Well, how
often is a peaceful demonstration going on there
behind me in solidarity with the farmers as this very landmark
court hearing begins today, the German government stands accused
of failing to stick to its climate targets most notably
failing to stick to its targets to drastically cut co2 emissions
and greenhouse and the farmers who are plaintiffs here today
say that this is neglect and that this has led allowed for
the effects of climate change too.
So just and I can let this play out. So they are suing because
in Witten the payoff comes at the end, because the German
government neglected to hit their targets of 40% reduction
in co2 Chi, who would have thought they couldn't make it,
but the government promised it they promised they promised
it. And so the farmers farmers who usually most of the time
they're spent farming and working their butts off. But
because of this well wait global warming thing they had that
they're they're pissed off, but they can actually
show damage. They have had damage because the government
didn't hit their targets,
take place. effects, which these farmers have felt very
drastically over the last two years alone. These farmers
coming to court today have seen dramatic floods in 2017. And
then drought in 2018. So
this is great. This is I think this is a seminal court case. So
the farmers are saying, You promised you promised you would
reduce it. And since you didn't climate change gave us a flood
in 2017 and a drought in 2018. There never been in the history
of Germany. No, we need money now because you screwed us with
your lies. This is great. So now the government is somehow going
to have to say, well, the fire the drought in the flood really
wasn't from climate change, or do they have to agree because
that is the unpaid rate scam. Thank you.
Earlier I spoke to Lisa Gardner, who is a Greenpeace climate
change expert and she told me why the German government still
has a long way to go to meet its targets.
Well, since 2007, the NGO German government has repeatedly said
that they want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40%
until the year 2020. And there's a lot of measures that the
government could still take to achieve that target. And the
most obvious one is to shut down coal power plants, because
they're still one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases in
Germany.
So the scam works like this. I guess you bought wheat you and I
will buy a piece of land no agenda farms, we'll call it and
we just let it sit there. And maybe we have someone roll a
tractor over it to make it look like we did something. Throw
some seeds around and then just wait for you know, some weather.
Because eventually some weather will happen and then we go sue
everybody sounds it sounds doable kind of debt actually
sounds like an exit strategy.
No, no, I have our exit strategy.
Oh, yep. Trey tell.
Well, once again, Jennifer Buchanan put out another
animated video for no agenda. This is our Dame you know the
the Gitmo nation choir the penis choir. I think they're called
but you know, Chris Wilson and the whole gang who put the dame
song together. Did you see the video? Oh, yeah. Well, it's
obvious. We are the new South Park. All we need to do is have
Jennifer just create 22 minutes A week of cool video of just
stuff we're talking about, because apparently it's funny.
And then we cut a deal with Comedy Central and we're done.
We're exit we're out. We have over almost 1200 episodes of
material.
Yeah. Well, she's she's gonna have to be a partner, then.
Well, of course, of course, we'll
cut her in. But I could do that
this is a total exit strategy.
And we could do a 22 minute show has to be commercial breaks. No,
no,
no, no, you're missing it. If we write something, you know,
almost number one rule of the show. Whenever we script
something, it fails. It sucks. It's horrible. So just take
pieces of our show that are funny. It's almost like the end
of show mixes really. And then do it in video. And then you
just stick a whole bunch of on one after another.
Yeah, you can do that. I'm just saying they have to be done in
it with the clock. Well, yeah,
yes. 22 minutes. Yeah, there have to be three commercial
breaks, obviously, if that's what you meant. I'm sorry. I
misunderstood. You did? Yeah. We just take piece from the show.
And and then we're done. And then we kick back. And then we
know once in a while and was do a show. I say it was just to
show and we'll do a show on the agenda.
We well, actually with 1200 shows in the can. Yeah, I
suppose you got enough for years and years of these van
animations. Yeah. And they're good. They're very entertaining.
I mean, she already has the character development.
She's like, very talented, and she seems to be able to crank
them out. That's what I'm saying. It's where she only had
to crank out let's say two a week so we can get ahead. And
here's how we sell demand. She loves this tool. This tool she
calls it.
Hi, guys. Thanks for inviting us John and I have been partners
with Jennifer just recently in the no agenda. We need a better
name than no agenda for our our animated series.
Anything a better name and you're gonna be the guy given
the blow jobs.
And the what? Well, this is I'm working on our pitch. Yeah, so
I'm saying here it's Rick and Morty meet South Park. Come on.
Who wouldn't want to
Rick and Morty meet South Park perfect. Everybody
would want that. It's yeah, you got great show.
Did the right Gambit. I mean something something meets
something and it
just like South Park you know, just you throw in some
characters and all sudden Hillary swoops by she's flying.
It's the same thing only we make it a hell of a lot cheaper. And,
and we can, you know, reduce our workload.
We can coast in on this one.
Kick back and watch the dough rolling brother yet.
We haven't. Have her approve it. I'm sorry. And then she was she
was she has not approved this this idea. But if she does, and
she's in and she could probably hire a couple people. Yes, she
can retire to it's perfect. Give me the
art director say No, I don't no, no, no, you got to have no, it's
got to be blue capes blue cape. I
want to tell everybody something. I've known John C.
Dvorak for a bit. He's actually enthusiastic about this idea.
He's not taking this as a joke. Am I right?
Yeah, I think it's actually doable. Because the last one she
did, which was the little Broadway musical thing. Yes. I
thought was professional. It was at a level it was that it was it
was at the highest level that I think you can achieve. It's
extremely professional. It's something that if I saw it on TV
or on Netflix,
you'd hit the DVR series record in a heartbeat.
I would, I would definitely if it was on Netflix. I'd watch it.
Actually do a deal with Netflix. Well, actually, that Amazon
Amazon's up for grabs, you know, right now is a good time because
these guys are quickly they're dying to start use a package. We
need to do the pilot.
Yes, we need to do the pilot. We're so someone needs to find
the right clips for the pilot. Yeah. Not you and eight. That
doesn't mean you have to do anything, John. It's like I'm
putting it out there. Hey, someone has to go find the right
clips. send those to January
may have to did the team is going to probably be expanded
from the three of us. Taking like Chris probably has to get
involved because he'd have his materials his Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And he's this. He's the songster. And we got other guys
do it. It'd be actually take a look at the Credit Roll for
South Park. Right? call those people and take a look at the
Credit Roll and see how many people there are. And that's
probably how many people we're going to need. These are big
budget productions. Well, that's what he sees. They go on
Netflix, there's millions and millions of dollars involved.
It's not as though Exactly. They're given somebody 50 bucks
to go do this stuff. You know,
and we can play them off against each other. It's like, well, you
know, we just left Netflix, Jeff Bezos. So I don't know, do you
guys want to do a better offer for us? Because we're kind of
kind of all in for that.
I don't know if that being a good sales pitch, but we'll
worry.
That's what all the the documentary guys are doing that
they'll go to Netflix and Amazon and play them off against each
other.
Yeah, watch what you do.
And another piece of it, you lose
in existence. And now what and now apples doing some dumb
thing. Yeah, but the two or three TV shows are doing I think
if
we were if we want no one to see it and make the most money, we
give it to Apple.
Well, that's me make the most money as part of that equation.
Yeah, but no, we can put like put the pipelines in. There's a
lot of stuff you can do. As long as it's funny, it's got to be
funny. And another bit of PR news got a nice mention. I gotta
mention, actually on the Joe Rogan show, but within like the
first 12 minutes of the show, which is really good, because
that I saw
that it goes let me give you a document to give my impression
of it. Joe Rogan's talking he says, Well, you know, there's a
lot of worry, like the first generation of podcasts or we
started 2009 Even though it's not not even close, but okay. I
mean, Leo Laporte was doing podcasting. Way before that you
were way before him. And so he's like, third generation, maybe
but he's going on as is. And then you know, the people that
invented pike Kevin Smith jumps into Yeah, Adam Curry's in is
like the podcast, father. He did. He's been doing stuff
forever. You should. You should get him on this show. Rogan?
Yeah, yeah, sure. And then he continues. Rogan was not
enthusiastic about this idea. And I think he hates you,
and then you're really increasing the chances here. And
then Kevin Smith, bless his heart says, Hey, remember when I
told you to have McCauley? I mean, so basically, I'm the
Macaulay Culkin of podcasting. If I'm lucky I can get because
apparently Macaulay
was somebody wasn't you
said Macaulay Culkin, I saw the thing. He said I told you to get
Macaulay Culkin on and he was great. And Joe said yes. So
Kevin Smith was said get him on. Anyway. Thank you to everybody
who went to be thanking Kevin Smith. Well, I'm gonna thank him
in a minute. Thank you to everybody who went to Joe Rogan
or rogan.com/contact and filled out the form as me.
Oh, that helps.
Yeah. So I know, everyone's like, hey, it's either this. I'm
a producer, which is exactly what you want to do. But there's
also people who just fill in my name, my email address and say,
hey, I want to be on the show. Anyway, I did hear
from Matt the Booker. It wasn't your in your good. Well, no,
I wouldn't say that. He said, I will run it by Joe. That to me
means no. And I don't understand. I mean, I maybe I
mean, look if you if you don't know anything about me, I'm sure
Joe's visions of that guy. Well, yeah,
okay, let's let's back up. Let's best meta, just a little bit for
Joe Rogan was a MMA guy. He actually a fighter. And he looks
at and he's young man. He's really stand up comic fire.
Tough guy is tough guy. He's a big, big dude. And he remembers
you as the guy with long blonde hair. You know, it's kind of
wispy. He's thinking Oh, this guy's a pencil neck geek. I
don't want him on my show.
Maybe, maybe just thinks it'll be boring. But so when when Matt
Well, you wouldn't be boring. You're good, you're good. But he
doesn't he doesn't know that and to spice it up when Matt the
booker got back to me. I said, Hey, I promise you know what I
say? Yes, it's about time I showed Joe how to roll the
professional Amsterdam coffee shop spliff. And because you
know, these guys are all about the weed. I mean, it's I'm
perfect guest for the show.
That's what surprises me the most insofar as the week is the
Kevin Smith. You watch this guy on the Joe Rogan show and he
brings boxes of weed
his own way in which sounds super stoned wheelchair we
why this guy's not doing anything creative. He's wasted
talking
about he's touring with his
some little movie that may come on
silent it's the it's the reboot now it's not as
okay he did clerks one clerks to why
no I'm gonna protect I'm gonna protect Kevin in this deal. He
he also just FYI he had a massive heart attack and almost
died. So he's just getting back from that.
Yeah, again, you
know we don't make now I know what it is.
So he's like, you know on the show and they're talking about
dope and smoking and dead. zone with any of these guys.
I've done D BMT I can talk about my experience. But more
importantly, we can talk a little bit about podcasting the
early days. That'd be fun. That's 10 minutes. And then we
could talk about crazy shit. I know lots of stuff. Yeah, well,
I but when when Matt said that, run it by Joe. I was like,
anyway, I
ended my old kiss of death.
I ended my note by saying, regardless, please tell, Joe,
that I never imagined my invention would be taken to such
incredible heights. And it makes me happy. And that's true.
Because Joe Rogan is the tonight show of our era. It's there's
nothing compares to it. Because it's completely opposite of
these bogus talk show formats. That's what makes it so great.
Anyway, I'd love to be on but I'm trying to get a hold of
Kevin because he's doing a show in Austin tomorrow. Well, that's
why he has this. What he calls wheelchair we like, oh, I want
to go talk to Kevin's he was going on with that we'd although
I doubt he brought it into Texas if he's smart. Be a little
careful with that. So I don't know. I guess we'll just have
a goal for this year. You said it in January. You're still
working on? I'm glad that you're at least consistent. Yeah.
That's always my goal is to get an interview with William
Shatner, and I can't do that and people are hounding him. I heard
him do a voiceover AMCO or something the other day.
This is what we're doing wrong. You need to pay him. That's how
he comes on. Right. That's what you need. What
am I thinking?
Oh, my goodness. Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put
the C in can't get booked on Joe Rogan John C. Devorah. Egg
and meningiomas jam curiosa in the morning all ships and sea
boots on the ground subs in the water and all the names nights
out day in the morning to everyone in the troll room. No
agenda stream.com is where we like to see the trolls hang out
during our live shows on both Thursdays of the week. Or
alternatively, if you've listened on Sundays, that works
too. And it's no agenda stream.com You can listen to us
you can jump in the chat room troll along but there's tonnes
of shows. In fact, it's 24/7 operations so you can check in
anytime there's always someone there, even just to answer a
question or just to just to chat. It's a good place to hang
and there's actually very little triggering going on, considering
it's pretty much free and open for all trolls to come in. And
I'd also like to wish a hearty in the morning to Yuka Yuka yok
er who brought us the avant garde artwork for episode 1185
We titled that one resilience, which is what your power grid
will be once we get the micro grids in place. And it was for
our 12th anniversary our celebration. And I thought it
was little off centre honestly John immediately told me this
was avant garde
Yeah, yeah, I thought was the most striking avant garde piece
now it's possible he just put this because this could happen.
He just put some dumb 12 into the into the code generator that
they have pushed it off centre so it was actually not his
doing. I mean, it's possible that was it but it still was
avant garde
Don't you think that maybe Van Gogh at a certain point went
squiggly line squiggly line? Okay, good. I'm keeping that I'm
sure these guys have that. So yeah, this no agenda art
generator.com is where you can look at all the art there's a
lot of great Halloween art that people did for the pre show
today at this this great art it's all in the eye of the
beholder but I think I love it all. I love all the effort and
thinking that goes into it. And it's Halloween Today is
Halloween. And you can you can use this to you know, you can
print them out if you want to you can make your own gear or go
to no agenda shop.com where they do it for you and the artist
gets a piece of the action affordable and always great
quality. I think. Sear it's so Yuka y O K er is ser Euchre e u
ch ar e. So it is one of our knights but I don't think it
ever had a an art piece chosen before Hattie.
I don't know that he ever sent one in. Because this
is first and probably no, no. A couple others. Yeah. I don't
think for a reason. Yeah.
He's said for in maybe total. Okay. All right. Well, let's
thank a few people for producing show 1186
And these are real producers. You know, we we have seen now
what it means to be a producer. And we're taking that to the
next level with our Comedy Central show. I mean, I'm sorry,
our Netflix animated series. So these are people who should
probably go along for the ride eventually. Don't you think?
Yes, if you're if you're an executive producer, or have been
in the past that you should just get a credit on one of the
episodes somewhere you got to get or that actually makes more
sense we take, here we go. Every single snippet we take from an
episode, which is animated and used in our Netflix animated
series. Then the people who were the execs and associate execs
for that particular episode, they get credit on the Netflix
animated series.
Yes, I think that's good that would encourage more people to
join in.
I just want to keep saying our Netflix animated series. So
people get used to it. Who are the execs for today, John?
Well, first of all, we start with John Patrick in Decatur,
Illinois, at 35791 Post anniversary respect. The best
podcast in the universe keeps getting better to Thursday's a
week. Thanks to you both for reportage that keeps my amygdala

Oh, which is nice. Not heard from the anonymous game. And
I think she used to like give us $50 a month into always marking
sanity. Another note on the check. Yes. And I think she's
decided that it's better to do it this way. So just six months
boobs Reiner bucks. Its executive producer. And it gets
a card read. We read her stuff anyway, because she's so unique
because she's so unique. So she writes down a card. A very nice
card that came in from from a little company in Victoria BC.
Nice card. Congratulations on 12 years of sanity. Please send me
some green card interview karma. Oh, wait, she has apparently
moved herself from Canada Navia to New York. Oh, yeah, that's
great. So and she has a complaint already, which I don't
blame her.
Well, can I just stick with the with the with the green card
interview?
Oh, yes. I have a tip.
Yes. Well, first of all, you have nothing to worry about. You
really don't I don't know if if she's green carding based upon
work? Or if she's, if there's a relationship because you can you
can get a green card for that too. Or if she? I don't know,
but for sure. If you need him will be your references. They
can call us right from the meeting. And we will confirm
that you are an executive producer of the no agenda show
soon to be featured in a Netflix animated series.
Actually, that's a great idea. Yeah. And and I'm, I'm all in.
Okay, so just so she knows. We're here for you.
We'll give me some phone numbers. Also, can you please

Chanel, Chanel. Chanel. New.
Yeah. This donations on behalf of the Muscatine what muscadine
wine lovers like me to one thing John got incorrect was the size
of the muscadine it may be the size of a cherry tomato, not a
medium sized tomato. They are very large but nowhere near and
apricot. Well, I got well maybe not bill.
Pretty good. You get a note from Moe. Yeah, I got no from Moe he
says that.
He says he's got a muscadine wine. I gotta try that as a kid
he grew up
eating apricot sighs muscadines
are the biggest grapes I've seen in Georgia so I don't know they
I think they vary in size. Thank
you. Thank you.
Somebody sent me a picture that of a Musca two different size
muscadine grapes and wanted removed the big one was the size
about I think third bigger than the size of a quarter in terms
of his diameter.
Well that that wonderful chat has made it into the end of show
mixes so people can look forward to that.
The rest he got right and I love my must dress I got right you're
talking about it tastes dreadful as wine. Is that what you're
talking about? I love my muscadine wine challenge. I am
from the south. Well, I'm gonna hope so.
Carmen Birkin like a true Yankee. Nice. And that's it.
That is it isn't.
That's it. That's all we gotta do. There is no more. Well,
little short today,
we do want to thank profusely, these producers who stepped up
and show their value. And again, if you're new to the show, no
corporate interest here. No commercials, no ads, no
underwriting sponsorships. And if we talk about a product
because we mean it good or bad. But to keep the lights on which
has been working for the past 12 years, we've said hey, don't pay
for the show. If it gives you no value if you do, just tell us
what the value is. That's the part that the mainstream never
figured out. Even the mainstream of podcasting never figured that
out. That if you have an outstanding product, it will be
valuable to different people in different ways. And if you can't
support us financially, you know you're doing a good job with
your notes with your expertise with your remixes your jingles
your artwork and just propagating the formula hitting
people in the mouth and we thank you so much for that and you can
continue to do that or if you haven't do it this coming Sunday
go to vorak.org/try baby soon to be an animated Netflix series
you can count on it formula is this we go out for yet people in
the mouth
and I did want to give a little shout out to Erina who runs no
agenda social.com. You know, the this is all open source
software, the mastodon platform, we have our own little corner of
the fediverse at no agenda social.com You can get an invite
in the troll room or if you go to any of these show notes and a
show notes like calm no agenda show notes.com There's a link
there which you can use to sign up. And he's keeping that thing
running. But there's a lot of issues when you have you know,
there was a big version upgrade and what people don't and people
don't understand how much data this this Mastodon stuff eats. I
mean, we have, I think we have like 10 terabytes of drive space
now hooked up to it. Because it's just you know, with the
pictures
and the phone, and we're just a node, we're just
a node and we're blocked by law and you have to stop
and stop yourself for a second and think Twitter's not just a
node it's all of it. Yeah. Oh yeah. Those guys must be at this
is why the shadow banning and missing things and they do
everything they can to keep from sending this stuff out. I
believe that Twitter is is over their heads in over their heads
and probably do what they claim that they're doing
and I think the algos is the problem in their case is they
might be able to do it just on a feed basis but having all that
modified in real time for each individual user it that's a lot
of resources that way Oh, and they're not they're not even
cracking a billion a quarter those guys are toast. But But my
point is, Aaron is doing this, you know on the side. He took
over for me because I couldn't I couldn't deal with it anymore
and the price was becoming astronomical he As his own metal
servers, you know, he's got the hardware, he's got racks and
he's got bandwidth. And so he's really donating that in his
time. So for those of you who are surprised, or you know are
pissed off about it being down from time to time, think about
that. It's a lot of work. It's he's doing it on the side, but
the reason it's so resource intensive and then you want to
do an upgrade, you know, just backing up our system. It takes
hours because of the voluminous amounts of data. That said, I
miss it too when it goes down. And John, I know you're, you're
crying your anger is cited
myself when it goes
here in the corner. Just wanting to just wanting to cry. You're
rocking back and boring. Understand? It's
like l beg God God God giggy
Did you see the most most recent amazing Polly
now I did not see the most amazing Polly's recent effort.
Well, amazing. Polly is a candid Navion YouTuber, and she
connects the dots man. She connects your dots.
And yeah, and she connect your next dots where there are no
dots to connect. Well, she's so good at it. She
connected dots in your backyard. Yes, Surrey Bob, she
connects to the scene. Missed it. Well, I'm
going to play a little clip for you of the amazing Polish me.
Going as much as I hate dogs.
No, no way.
It's just a joke. Everybody I love dogs have had several dogs
just not anymore. And don't like Many dog owners. So amazing.
Polly was interested in impossible meat. Which she of
course, she's the amazing Polly she views this as an agenda 21
type company, and she was researching who was behind it.
And with AGENDA 21 We mean total control over the people.
You don't get to the triangulation control it needs
to be done. It's yeah, it's population
control. By controlling the temperature of your house, how
far your car can drive what you can consume. And of course we
just because of climate change in general, we can't eat meat.
Because it's just bad. We all have to be vegan. It's a lot
bigger than that. But go ahead it's not some conspiracy theory
agenda 21 is absolutely real and the climate change push is a
part of it. As to whether climate change a human made is
true or not is it's undeniably a part of agenda 21 So she looks
at impossible meet and she sees who the investors are and of
course she find some some names that we know who are all in on
this
which we could call the usual suspects Yeah, you could call
him the usual
suspects of course and impossible meat has been an
incredible success story but what she was most interested in
our amazing Polly I like it I like Polly I think she I think
she is quite amazing. She did not understand the explanation
of how they got the how they get the the red blood ish liquid to
be a part of this for all intents and purposes veggie
burger. They explain it by saying it's a root of something
but she looked up the roots and they're certainly not read
there's some haemoglobin that they add to it a soy haemoglobin
Do you know how that how they get the the actual
blood issue get the red juice and the veggie burger? Yeah. How
did they do that? I think it's the blood of babies.
UN Environment tackling the world's most urgent problem,
meat. So I had all kinds of questions, and I was gonna dig
into everything. You see, here's a list of the other partners in
his venture at Impossible Foods and they're curious bunch Khalsa
ventures. I don't know that one, Bill Gates. I know that one.
Google Ventures, I know that one and open philanthropy project.
I'm pretty sure that Soros all these other ones, I bet have
amazingly interesting people behind them as well. I would
love to know but unfortunately, I got too shocked to keep
researching. Because as I was reading article after article
combing through for little details that might tell me how
do they get the soy protein to turn red? I'm really curious
about that. Really curious because that's an animal thing.
As I was reading all these articles, I found out I came
across a detail it was the address of their 63,000 square
foot facility in Silicon Valley, California. And I thought, Oh,
great. I'm going to do a street view on this factory because I
want to show a picture of it and show how it's not much more
healthy for the environment that a farm is. So I did Here it is.
I googled it. I copied and pasted it. And there's the
building, click on it. There I am standing in front of it. So
ugly it's white, nondescript, no windows, no name. So turn
around. Let's look what else is on the street. And oh my god. Do
you see that? Can you read that? Planned Parenthood? You nailed
it. You nailed it.
On the Google Map, impossible. Meat is right across the street
from I don't know what Planned Parenthood is doing there in
Silicon Valley. When shopping,
that's what they're doing.
And she had to stop her investigation. Understandably.
She was too upset. Yes. In other words, amazing. Polly was
swinging through town for some reason, threw together this
package, and then found it found it a beautiful out. Should work.
Yeah. Well, I
think she did a great job.
Well, I'd like to find out what's causing this right. And
by the way, if you think about why does why when you bite into
an Impossible Burger where possible meat wherever this
company is. There's three of these guys doing this. Do you
have to have red juice come out? To me? It means it's
undercooked.
Yeah, so yeah.
I don't want my ground up beef to be undercooked. Oozing red
goo? No. Sorry. I wait, what is the appeal of that to
vegetarians? Or vegans? Why did they want to see red juice
coming out of something?
Well, that's that's not the appeal to vegans. It's the
appeal to people who like meat but are all in on the programme.
Well,
then why did the vegans put up with it? They should say this is
an abomination. Because they do vegans not eat just because of
the red red juice.
I think I think as a vegan, you could eat babies. I don't I just
think it's animals. That's the problem.
Okay, well, that's probably true. buy into that. So let's
talk about the fires for a minute.
Yes, let's because there's a lot, a lot going on, like more
fires in the place down. I'm surprised we're even on the air.
How are you?
Do you have any smoke in the air at least or no? We
did a couple of days ago, there was some the wind was just
right. It was we was smoky. It was okay. So well.
How far is the is the closest fire like 50 miles from you?
About 40 miles? Okay, so or actually, maybe even as far as
80 miles? I'm not sure.
But if the winds go at about 60 miles an hour you could be
scorched before the end of the show?
Well, there's no wind today. So I don't know what you're talking
about. Good. All right. So let me refresh. Read from producer,
our producer anonymous. Yes. Very nice to work for pg&e. Yep.
During Episode 1185, you had pretty long discussion of the
micro grid is my day job is writing software for he said,
he's a dude named I sent him a note back he sent me no no back.
He's a dude named Ben who works for the company. As writing
software for a company in the utility space. I literally wrote
the software user interface that allows power utilities to
remotely shut down your household services, some some
percent of utility customers, you're welcome. Let's just Let's
just stop for
a second. So what we have talked about, about the utility company
controlling your household usage, according to our
producer, we have no reason to doubt is true. He literally says
wrote the software user interface that allows power
utilities to remotely shut down your household service for some
percent of utility customers. There you go. That's also part
of agenda 21 that
percent of the utility customers are the ones with the smart
metres. You didn't say that?
Well, of course, of course. Are the smart well, your
analysis was admirably cynical and has elements of truth to it.
Was this a good one elements, folks in the energy industry see
it differently. micro grids are in in micro grids are an
invention of energy sector companies, such as my employer
Hold
on a sec, let me let me just backtrack not everybody heard
the micro grid grids, micro grid micro grids conversation. The
idea is to build small little power utilities in
neighbourhoods, they will call it a micro grid which will be
connected to the macro grid, ie your power service provider, and
the micro grid we'll be able to cover any brownouts or blackouts
in in the network. But in order to do that, you will need to
have to you will be obliged to have to weigh control of some of
the things that are already taking place, such as your
lights, they can be remotely turned ON OFF or dimmed your
thermostat can be turned up down or off, you're washing your
smart fridge, your smart washing machine and they all come with
Wi Fi is all part of a coincidence or a glorious plan
in order to make the battery last because it's just a big
battery, and then they'll sell that of course as green, because
they'll will buy wind and solar and they may even put solar
panels on the roof, but you won't be able to use everything
because the power grid goes down. Your micro grid
takes over anything because stuff's all junk. Yeah, micro
grids invention. They are co opting corrupting public
interest in environmentalism to encourage transfer of control
over to utilities to local governments, not to bust up
utilities, but to bust up state level regulation that is
strangling the industry. This is remember,
this is perfect. You're seeing both sides of the argument. The
pala member
that he continues remember that utilities are government granted
monopolies that are highly regulated at a state level
regulators aren't technical experts. They should be they
should be they are dilettante political operators answering
only to corrupt political machines. Okay, regulators this
is by the way when you're in the business, you do take these
attitudes about
course I totally I understand that these
regulators have a veto power over anything utilities tried to
do via rate control. He did he had some errors in here that I
pointed out to him and he couldn't really backing back
himself up. Here's an industry scenario in our business utility
Hello.
Yeah, so this is what happens. If you think that you can make
fun of the power utility. They just cut you off. I told you
this. Nothing good comes of these micro grids ever. And now
let's see. John, John, are you there? Hello. Your fate I get
cut off again. The minute you started bitching about them and
you said Oh, yes. This is how these people operate. They cut
your power off. Funny. Where was I? You were at the the word
being cynical. You said that he had some mistakes that you asked
him about nuclear.
And you Okay, well, we're gonna go back to where I'm gonna read
from here. Okay. While you're in analysis was admirably cynical
is where I got cut off?
No, you can't because
you went on to think about micro grids was came after that. Yeah.
So pretend I just said micro grids. I'm leaving it all in
because it was too beautiful. You start bitching about them
and they cut your power. That's
what happens. This is what we have to put up with. Remember
that utilities are government granted monopolies which are
highly regulated as had stayed at a state level. Regulators
aren't technical experts. Although they should be their
dilettantes, political, dilettante political operators
answerable only to corrupt political machines. As a bit
extreme, regulators have veto power over anything utilities
tried to do via rate control.
Well, maybe why are you so cynical about his report?
Because you're really Pooh poohing it like, oh, man,
I know. I'm not I think everything he says is true, but
he's not inlet, okay. Because I've been on I worked for an oil
refinery that I worked for regulator that regulated oil
refiners, I was on both sides of the fence, and being on both
sides of the fence makes it you get a little better perspective
on on some of this stuff. He's on one side of the fence. So
he's getting one side, he's never been on the other side.
Okay. And that's just it's you can tell that, you know, just
just ended with an extreme position, but
this is what I like, because we're hearing the position of
inside the power companies, they're feeling like they're
under attack. There's idiots who have not let them do anything.
That's their words. And that this is now all because they
just want to, you know, ruin us to do something else. Or is that
not what he says?
That's kind of what he says. I don't even have to read much
more of this I can jump ahead. Okay, so what happens when the
routine maintenance is vetoed by the State Board eventually
maintenance happens as a function of disaster relief to
trunk fails catastrophically and replacement happens under
emergency protocols. And he goes on. He makes the comment here's
an insider's taking pg&e As for current pg&e debacle, the
decision makers and my company behave as if they're hedging
bets that California is in the process of executing a long term
hostile takeover, pg&e, you could call this nationalisation
but it's on the state level. For years California utilities
Commission's have been severely restricting large scale
maintenance activities a PG and E is If this I don't buy further
the state government has severely reduced tree clearing
and branch removal that keeps the rural grid healthy. I asked
for a specific example of that. He could not provide one. I have
branch removal on my property and his pg&e crews that come out
now they're gonna stay your nor anybody else. You're not rural
have trees, but he says there's trees all over the East Bay and
they're maintained by the says
rural.
Well, he's referring to tree okay. Is he specific to rural
grid healthy, or not rural, but I'm in a tree lined area, and
they come and cut trees.
We all agree you're totally rural. We're just leaving that
you're now okay.
You're just you're just bickering over one word rural.
I'm talking about trees. Now. So they come out and cut my trees.
But because the tree is out in the sticks, they won't cut it
because the state won't allow him to this is nonsense. I asked
him for his proof of this, and he couldn't provide any
Wow, man. I mean, he's just trying to give you as an
opinion. And then if you would read everything normally without
the cynical tone, and then kicked in here, it would have
been better.
State government was adequately warned that this would be the
result which is all these fires. Now we gotta remember PG, and
he's also the operation that had his pipeline blow up in the
middle of nowhere. And San Bruno mountains, the whole gas line
exploded a main thing it did took out like a whole block of
houses and killed a bunch of people. This company is
responsible for a lot of this stuff, and they're blaming it on
everybody but themselves. He goes on and says PGn has become
a punching bag from various disasters caused by bad
maintenance, for which the Utilities Commission and state
government has been largely responsible. Here again,
pointing the finger. The rainmakers in the office think
that eventually the state government will use some
disaster as a pretext to assume control. And they write their
contracts accordingly. Wouldn't surprise me. Well, this part it
doesn't surprise me it is possible. To put this into no
agenda terms it looks to me like California is executing a
classic mafia bust out scam. Fall out from Enron allowed the
state government to grab pg&e by the nuts. The state government
is milking them. Driving acquisition costs down until
they die when they're sucked dry. California will declare
pg&e Dead or they're bankrupt already and execute the
takeover. What do you want to bet that when this happens,
California will beg for federal bailout money to pay for it. If
it worked in Puerto Rico, it can work in California. Okay. So
let's assume that that's what's going on. As a Californian, and
if they can pull this off and get federal money free money.
I'm all for what's wrong with that. What specifically is wrong
with trying to pull this stunt? Well, EGD is falling apart. They
can't keep up, man.
May I say something? Can I guess you said, as a Californian,
what's wrong with getting federal dollars to fix the
problem? As a Texan? I say, blow me California. That's my tax
dollars.
You don't get any federal money that state of Texas does to get
any federal money for anything ever.
Sure we do.
California is this is the largest economy in the country.
But overall, we lose more weight more of our federal tax. We lose
more federal checks when it goes out and comes back. Many states
like Alabama, for example, gives a lot more money back from the
feds and they put out we want our money back. I don't think
there's a problem with that. Okay. So I think this is fine.
pg&e is falling apart. It's pretty obvious. And they were
pulling a stunt. I think it was just before the show started. I
heard about this from one of the PGE guys and they would do this
crap. The company the company itself is corrupt. I don't care
what this guy thinks that all you have to do is watch the CEO
go and give his spiel, you can tell this guy's a douchebag but
this is a company that used I talked to some guys that worked
there. He says, Yeah, they'll lay it a date we worked there
for
see again, it's not a good idea to call people who control your
power douchebags. I mean, this is it just makes no sense. Okay,
hey, listen, pg&e. Could you turn his power back on because I
just want to finish the show. please pretty please.
And say oh, it's the state's fault. They won't let us trim
trees as bullcrap. Okay, I'm done. Going back to the fire.
Apparently Southern California Edison International is also on
the verge. of bankruptcy. Yeah, that's they provide Southern
California I guess with
with electric motors down there and double bust out
and I don't know if they're actually bankrupt. I know that
their stock prices plunged. But I'm not sure what the what the
financials are, but it's kind of messy. Yeah, you need you need
to have a state
by the way. Let's stop right here. And it may mention
something. The states too damn big. It should be three states.
Yes, our favourite. I'm with you. Let's continue
with the fire report. Now. So the fires were going on. And
they're you know, they were reporting pretty
straightforward. They weren't say blaming global warming,
global warming on everything. But no, you go to Democracy Now
where they're obliged to make everything about global warming.
So I have three clips. That talk about the California fires, and
pretty much blame the fires on global warming. So pee genies
not really at fault if you take this approach, because it's
global warming. So I want to play that just to give you a
taste of this, this is clip one from democracy. Now fires
fires in California are typical this time of year, but the
length and severity of the state's fire season has grown
due to climate change. Of the more than 4000 firefighters
working across the state to contain the blazes at least 700
are California prisoners, while salaried firefighters earn an
annual mean wage of $74,000 a year plus benefits prisoners
earn $1 per hour when fighting active fires.
Amen. Do you remember when back in the good old days out west,
there would be a fire and all the men would would immediately
grab their shovels and they'd go do it and they'd save it
themselves now, like, pay that prisoner $1.
Anyway, this was she blames on global warming, she gets that
little that little gem in there. Nobody else is brought that up,
of course, Democracy Now. That's the kind of thing they would do.
I thought that was interesting. We got a bunch of prisoners out
there fighting the fires, it seems like it
seems like the California way,
by the way, they should not be punished paying full tilt
ticket.
What is full ticket for a firefighter
75,000 a year, you can guess it's probably about, I don't
know, $25 an hour or something like that. She's probably 30
probably 30. All right. So then we go back to the global warming
climate change today. So we go to Democracy Now. This is part
two.
Well, we know from research from scientists that climate change
has dramatically worsened fires in the West, there's research
that says that fires have gotten 500% more risky as a result of
climate change. And that two times more area has burned
because of climate change.
I liked the scientific term, more
risky. 500% more risky. What does that mean?
Well, this, the research says, so that's all the research not
proves. No, the research says I think what she means is because
of climate change. Everything's dry. So if you get a fire, it's
worse. The 500 numbers pretty sounds pretty unscientific to
well. Here's
the dude she's a professor at the University of California
Santa Barbara. Well, they're both she's like a dolt you know,
expressionless faced woman was, you know, obviously, I believe a
Trump hater. But I can't prove that but she looks like the
type. And she is just like, and she teaches gender studies or
some that she teaches something weird. They mentioned at the
beginning of the clip. It's something climate science and
new age or something. And she goes on as at the end of that
clip. Yeah. Okay, so we hear this and that and she's going on
and on. So then a little later, and the same show they bring
out. Now remember that, according to to Amy, the length
and severity is bad and this one 500% Worse, they go on and on.
But then they bring out Gavin Newsom who's a democrat and a
climate change guy, the whole thing, but listen to what he has
to say.
I recognise this moment, generates tremendous amount of
anxiety, the high profile images that people see not only that
Kincaid fire in Northern California, but now the Getty
fire in Southern California and Los Angeles, generate
consternation generate concern. But this, interestingly is a
moment in California that is very familiar. We've actually
had a below average fire season to date. experiencing at the
moment is slightly above average at the high end of average for
this time of year. It doesn't feel that way. But in fact is
the case As the state has been well resourced, the state has
been very forthright in terms of pre positioning assets to a
degree that we had never have in the past.
So that's the governor of California.
Hey, you know, you guys already got some federal money
apparently.
Use more. So, always anyway, the point is, is that these two
women go on and on wringing their hands. And then Newsom
comes on and mentions the reality. And you of course, like
to bring out your 1842 clip. It's time to explore it.
If only it was a clip. It's there were no clips. News
article. Yes, it was the diary of the professor. And I think it
was 1860. And he wrote that California he did not understand
how anyone could or would ever want to live there because it is
hell on earth with its mudslides, its fires and it's
earthquakes. And no one listened. And nobody listened.
It's been like weather's good. The fires in California have
been there forever. The problem is they put people around
well, they put people in the wrong spots, as like, you know,
billing and flood zones in the Midwest and then they get
flooded and everyone wonders why oh my god were flooded or on the
East Coast housing development in a flood zone or people
who build on the coast and then also like, like you like you
then claim federal emergency funds and go build their new
house again on the beach. Is like I'm against this and I'm
like, I'm sorry. Especially sending money to California
screw y'all. You don't care about us,
but we used to actually manage these fires with controlled
burns and all these other mechanisms, which they stopped
doing from what I can tell I haven't heard about these for
decades.
Well, isn't that isn't that part of what the pg&e Insider was
saying is that they won't let them do certain things when the
control burns be part of the control burns were never done by
PG and E. Okay, but they've stopped someone from doing it
now he says that they stopped him from cutting I understand
is a separate issue. separate issue. But if let's just say
that's true, we'd have no proof that he would probably fall
under the same reason why they haven't done controlled burns
for whatever reason it is it sounds like the policy
I don't believe so. I believe that controlled burns were
stopped by a bunch of environmentalists it's probably
releasing too much co2 and control Brizard done by people
like Ducks Unlimited and these hunters who needed to clear
these read areas with all these do this places go blank you know
if there was ever any when they always do it when there's zero
wins so they can actually control the burns. And they in
the state the state had different forestry operations
that would do this and they they disbanded them there's a lot to
be there's a lot of discussion about this in the state. Then
they just gave up on all this control stuff to say hell with
it, it's gonna burn it's gonna burn and so they just let it
burn and they get these fires all the time. They're just
completely out of control and you know, burning people's
houses down and wineries and everything in between this is
ridiculous it's poorly managed the state's out of control
there you go. That's why we should not send them any money
by the way, I am happy to see that at least California
provides needles to your drug abusers that's that's good use
their safe. So right on cue, a reminder, your no agenda show
has tracked the vape bull crap from the beginning. And to
summarise very quickly, the big tobacco industry, which is a
very big industry, and it's very powerful, so powerful, in fact,
that it got Trump and the First Lady to jump on the anti vaping
bandwagon. Why do you say well, because vaping was taking over
the cigarette smoking business. And with vaping you can only
really sell nicotine and a couple other chemicals. You
can't sell what this huge industry has invested in for 100
years at least, which is tobacco, they have a tobacco
production system they need to sell tobacco. They develop the i
cos IQ O 's which will be a so called smokeless, odourless,
it's not either but much less offensive smoking device which
takes tobacco and heats it produces a wonderful drawl and
flavorful taste without igniting the tobacco. In order to do
this, they purchased jewel for eight $18 billion and they're
driving it into the ground. And with it legislation that will
ban I mean, even if you say you vape you'll get arrested within
two months. That's where this is going. And this is the latest
former executive e cigarette company Juul has filed a lawsuit
says it shipped a million contaminated pods this year but
told no one. In the lawsuit Siddharth brasier alleging that
company leaders often responded to concerns about health and
safety by quoting former CEO Kevin Burns, who allegedly said
half our customers are drunk and vaping like expletives who the
expletive is going to notice the quality of our pots. And this
was of course the dagger all the way into the heart. Because we
were able to bring in a lawsuit that does not explain what the
so called contamination of a million pods was. It doesn't
literally does not say it. They were over the date that is
mentioned in this lawsuit. But all we needed is to have the
quote uncorroborated of the CEO saying that screw they're all
drunk mofo screw him, they don't know what quality is of the
vape. And we get the slip in the contaminated word, which leads
back to 34 people who apparently have died from vaping, although
almost 90% of those people were vaping THC cartridges in
addition to a Joule or other vape products. So we kind of
think that that's where that went wrong, but it doesn't
matter. The PR coup is complete, already flavoured vape sticks
are off the market, they fired 500 people a jewel, they're
going to close the whole thing down, and you will start to see
I'm thinking Christmas, they gotta hurry up if they want to
do it. And they may not be able to make it but they have, they
have time and money clearly. And it's an as Troels pointed out,
nothing new with vaping heating up tobacco leaves. But this is a
modular system. This was the genius of the vapours. You could
buy a vaping pan you could squirt in your juice and
everything would work. Now you will buy your heat sticks, which
will be the same cancer sticks that you smoke that were
cigarettes only. It won't stink up the room, which has also been
kind of the holy grail of the big tobacco industry for years,
going back to the leveraged buyout and the smokeless turd
smelling cigarette barbarians at the gate. So it's done and it
happened within but what is this? John? Two months time? Two
months? They completely broke it down?
Yeah, yeah, Jewel situation. Actually, we didn't catch it.
When it's when it happened when the bio took place.
The buyer? No, no, we didn't catch that. No, we didn't
realise what
they were up to, which was more sinister. And the reason we
couldn't see it that way, because it's unbelievable
billion. You don't buy a company for 18 billion to ruin them on
purpose.
Unless you've got 100 billion to play with, I guess.
Yeah, it's like one of those things, you know, how do you
lose a million dollars? You know, start with 10.
Get into aviation.
It's the way you do that. Yeah, ABA. Yeah. So the numbers are
we're beyond comprehension for pulling this stunt. But it's a
jam. Why really give them I give them full credit for this one.
This is one of the best mood manoeuvres I've ever seen or
witnessed in my life. And I'm probably never a lot of people
don't even realise what happened. But this is a
fantastic, fantastic play I've never seen and I don't see a
movie should be written about it.
Well, yes. And I don't think any anyone has deconstructed the way
we have. I don't think anyone has followed it the way we have.
And it's like every single show there was another development in
exactly the manner that we once we figured it out that they were
just really taking this big Hail Mary. But for me, when Trump and
Melania came out in Oh, yes, poor vaping bad. I mean, Trump's
gonna win every single tobacco state in the union, because that
was the deal. He did a deal with the devil right there. So what
So besides Virginia, what other tobacco states so we have
Carolina is his it's all his this is? I mean, how big is the
tobacco industry still? They've got to be huge.
Do we have a number? I don't have a number. I don't really
follow it that closely.
But the influence the influence of the tobacco industry is is
just incredible. And they did it. And in the eye cos is going
to come well
if you consider it an agricultural product and if you
see what it what they charge for a pack of cigarettes, and then
weigh the contents as an agricultural product and
consider what it would be by the pound like tomatoes, right? It's
way a great
business. Yeah. I wonder if they get subsidies as farmers to
probably do it. all farmers do I'm gonna get to anyway. I'm sad
about it. I like vaping. Now you're seeing news reports.
Well, people are to quit vaping because they're so hooked on the
joule, which is possible. I mean, nicotine is addictive. are
so hooked on Joule that they're not going back to smoking
cigarettes. Yeah, mission accomplished. Mission
accomplished. Very good. While you saw it unfold right before
your very eyes and all the we will never have a resolution on
the people who who passed away from lung issues related to
vaping whether it's
new means 404 million or so that die every year as
well. 400 I think ordered 1000 400,000?
Well, 4035, you know,
I wanted to go back and revisit for a second. something the
President said about we have the oil. We're pulling out we killed
him. Baghdadi is dead. We've got the oil. And I'm thinking to
myself, what oil, Syria's total oil output is 0.3% of the world.
I mean, it's Yeah, sure they've got oil, but then it hit me.
We're on the border, the new border or whatever the imaginary
border is between Turkey and Syria. It's kind of murky. It
was right up there. There's two cities we've talked about for a
long time. And even before anyone was talking about it, and
it's Homs and Aleppo. And these are the two these this is where
our troops are so called not boots on the ground are now
stationed and you know what they're doing? They either
protecting or stopping a pipeline. Because that's what
this was about. It was yeah, it was about Russians and stuff.
But it was really about the Iran pipeline, that we're not going
to let them build. And if in I encouraged people to once in a
while just open up. I mean, I know you don't have a map. So
open up your Apple Maps or your Google Maps, and then take a
look at Syria, and right to the left there, right in the
direction of any pipeline that we're going to stop. And that
will be either a natural gas pipe, probably natural gas
pipeline. There's two there's competing one from Qatar, which
is problematic these days, because Saudi Arabia and Qatar
hate each other and the other ones from Iran. We hate Iran,
and we hate all those guys. But what is to the left of Syria?
What is to the left there, right where we want the pipe to come
out and go on to ships or go somewhere else. It's Lebanon,
Lebanon and what's happening in Lebanon
Hariri is gone for the demonstrators remain 1000s
stayed on the street into the night. But the main protest camp
close to the Prime Minister's headquarters, they see Hariri
his resignation as a victory. But for them, it is just the
first step
basically on part of the of the war. We can say that we need to
change we need. We start with the with the with the
government, the bigger things will be with the establishment.
The purpose of the demonstration was to change the whole
democracy that was stolen by political party for 30 years
earlier, protesters celebrated the moments of the first big
change to that political system. Prime Minister Hariri announced
to the nation that he was stepping down
I am going to the presidential palace to submit the
government's resignation to President Michel own people in
all regions in response to the will of the many Lebanese people
who have taken to the streets to demand change. But there
are powerful forces in Lebanon who are against the change the
protesters are demanding before Hariri announced his
resignation, supporters of the Shiite Muslim political
movements Hezbollah and Amal rampaged through the main
protest camp. It was the worst violence since protests started
nearly two weeks ago. Activists are back at that camp on are
determined to continue that fight Hariri his departure has
lifted their spirits, but it may not be enough to end the
country's turmoil.
So it seems like we're in the business of causing some crap in
Lebanon, we already have put severe sanctions on the country,
which is part of the problem and it was just ratcheted up at the
beginning of October. And I'm thinking the Saudis are doing
this. And this note, the Saudis are no foreigners to messing
around with the the Iranian proxy group that has Belaz. In
fact, here's a clip from 2017. Three years ago,
regional tensions over Lebanon are escalating after Hezbollah's
leader says Saudi Arabia has declared war On Lebanon, it
comes as the leader of the Iran backed group accused Riyadh of
detaining Lebanon's Prime Minister. Saad al Hariri,
same guy. What is going on here?
Wow, that's a good catch. It's
the same guy. Yeah. And three years ago on the Saudis
kidnapped him, and then there was more unrest. And now what's
happening is the Hezbollah is is coming through and kicking
everybody's ass who was protesting about the injustice
and elites having too much power? It's a mess, and it's
gonna be verbalised. It's on the list. It's a West Clarke seven
list item. It's honest.
It's been realised before and is so rubbish. And I don't think
it's ever completely come out of being rub alized on how much
more damaging?
That's true. That's true.
So it's like pre Rob alized.
But my goodness, but it's so obviously connected.
Yes, probably the State Department has got nothing to do
with Trump. Apparently we have our own separate foreign
overseas government control. Yeah. That's, you know, the, you
know, whatever Trump says is get Yeah, that gets be nice to get
rid of according to the Democrats, because then you
know, you can be more unabated you don't have this crazy
president that is telling your way. We don't want to be in the
Middle East. Yeah, we do. No, no, no, we don't. Yeah, we do.
Just, that's just crazy. Once you go into the middle is where
we're gonna go anyway. Well, and we're bureaucrats, and we can do
what we want. Oh, my goodness. So I was listening to some
Millennials peace speaking and we've noticed this before. I
have a couple of examples. I want to play to you as a quiz.
Oh, I'm always in for it's just as I kind of
make it easy because I emphasise a little more than I should
have. I may have given it away. Okay. But I have two clips. One
of them is the first one I'm going to under set it up but I'm
gonna tell you what it is and cue it up. This is the clip that
is ABC News streaming, ABC new streaming news. last clip, okay,
now, this is the there's a word in here where there is a missing
letter, but this is a person that works for the network.
To la cat as it continues to Gus they're 60 to 80 miles per hour
and mainly in the higher elevations but then also extreme
fire danger parts of the San Diego mountains, the eagle
mountains, mountains as well.
Mountains, mountain mountain part of Mount Ponton mountains.
So she can't she says Martin
why are we dropping the Putin thing? Why are we dropping the
T's it's Putin it's important
well I got another one for you see if you can see if you can
spot this one now this came from a podcast all right. And I don't
know if I should mention the name of it because it kind of
you know, it's Yeah, you should just the voice coach of of
millennial voice coach it was on the podcast she's all jittery
about everything. And she goes on and on and just and I'm
thinking she's a voice coach. Keywords she throws in a she
does one of these drop tees I want to see if you can spot it
teaches that Michael Howard and I did these workshops with her
she totally transformed my life. And I realised how important how
important how important the waist and the body and the
breath were to feeling connected to people to
That's the voice coach we're so doomed
we're we're totally do
I like to fry those nice fries she's got
a bunch of fries this is nothing I could have taken so much for
her she says and you know and you know and you know and that's
really and all these things she did so many flaws and then when
she says important part and I can't take it anymore I got a
clip this very
important. Well, I think I can top it for ridiculousness. If we
had a commercial podcast I if we had a bear as a sponsor, which
this clip from this next podcast is sponsored by bear, the
pharmaceutical company. I think that says enough right there.
But if you're sponsored by bear by big Bayer is a big boy, my
bad big boy, big boy Bayer or any other large corporation you
must of course completely adhere adhere to the correct verbiage.
And you must be socially justice woke. And you therefore must
make sure the entire show is gender neutral. Makes sense,
doesn't it? I mean, you can't have a show. We can't be
sponsoring a show. John. Yeah, we're looking at this show over
here. This podcast as a pretty good reach of neon. The host is
very famous Um, we want to sponsor him with our
pharmaceutical products. But can we make sure that doing
everything properly?
What do what? We got paperwork in sign? What
do we need to? Yeah, we need to make sure he signs the paperwork
that he keeps everything general neutral. So
we sign off. Let's see
how he's doing. Let's check in with Penn Jillette of Penn and
Teller fame.
I have now made our show and I hesitate to say this because I
sometimes flip up. Yes, sir. For comedic reasons for rhythm.
Yeah. But I believe our show is now completely gender neutral.
Yes. Great.
And it's really hard, because ladies and gentlemen has to go.
Yeah. And the other thing that's very hard for me is that as you
know, I'm very, very badly educated. Well, for that, for
that reason, the first law is certain kinds of speaking are
important to me. Yeah. So using the plural. Third person for
singular. Yeah. Fingernails on chalkboard. Yeah. Because it's
the way I was. Everybody in my neighbourhood did that. Yeah, I
didn't want to. So I always want to say he or she, yeah. So
saying they is, it feels like, it shows me as being stupid and
uneducated. And I don't want to do that. But I now have realised
that That's right. So I've gone through our show. Wow. So it's
only they is the pronoun. And I use people's names, but I never
say the man over here, or he or she. And there's one or two
places where rhythmically, it's very hard to know that I mean,
that person when the line has to go comedically, yeah. And I'm
fighting the poetic rhythm. That's just the prosody of it.
I'm fighting that so hard against what I know is right.
But I think in the long run, it's worth it. And why was I
made? You know, it happens. Yeah, I made a couple of missed
calls gender wise. And I gotta tell you, it happened in the
first bit of the show, and I was still going. Yeah, at the end of
the show, and after the show, it was like, you know, standing
ovation. 3000 people, they come back to get my mics off, and I'm
going off the poor person. Yeah. That's the reason is that no,
no, that wasn't the reason. The reason is, it's the right thing
to do.
The future of podcasting, ladies and gentlemen, can you can we do
it? Can we keep this show gender neutral? Do you think we can
finish this show? In a gender neutral way
we can. Maybe we get down to the end, we can finish it. Sure. Are
you ready to try?
Yeah, it's gonna get real difficult. In this next segment.
I'm going to show my school by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Well, we have a few people that think business are gender
neutral. You can't thank any of them. Thank you very much.
That'll be the end of today's show. We'll be on Sunday, right?
I think we can try it and I'd like to start first by thanking
our two producers from Kona Hawaii. Chris, our Kona person.

We have zero nights zero title changes. Zero. It's a down day,
man. No kidding. Happens. Let me give you a little update on on
the unhoused situation in Austin, Texas. As this debacle
continues not improving Well, they did it change the local
city ordinance back. So I would say that the there's overnight
pretty much no camping downtown at least not what I saw. Mind
you. It's now 37 degrees in Austin, Texas. So I hope these
people have found places to shelter, but only in a few days
from now. Everything under the highways and it's a 30 it's
actually 183 and Ben White Boulevard. All of those
encampments under the highway will have to go
since the spring the city of Austin has taken response
possibility for cleaning up and maintaining what's underneath
state highways. That's going to change next Monday, textile
workers will post these signs under overpasses. They'll send
teams Monday to clear property that will be saved for 30 days.
The signs list numbers and locations for interval care
Salvation Army and the arch for help in the short term. The
city's homeless strategy officer says they don't expect major
disruption because many under overpasses are already known and
working with the city. Over the next week, the Austin Chamber of
Commerce will be announcing more of their community partners and
also releasing more details about what these long term
solutions will be.
Up until this point, many downtown business leaders had
been large critics of the city of Austin's policy allowing
people to camp sit in line and Panhandle in many public places.
We were at city hall when Austin Mayor Steve Adler and city
council members learned about the governor's decision to move
in textile crews. Adler says he's worried the action could
scatter people too quickly.
They might end up in a place that's harder for us to find
them we know that it is point where we're able to find people
get them get them caseworkers help get them in homes in ways
we can't when they're dispersed in dark
places. You know we need in Austin we needed a homeless
hunt. This is perfect
question hunt the
homeless. What?
This one fiscal year beginning in January? Yes. It started off
in your little Burg there. It started off oh the homeless can
camp anywhere they want on all the sidewalks it's all fine
because it's camping out there and then it month Oh no. No,
just remember, neighbours July
July it's not January 1 July they started that and they're
your neighbours are just neighbours. You know, so they
camping the other neighbours. And it goes from that to hunting
them out of town and overnight what kind of what happened?
psychopaths.
Did you listen to the report? It's yeah, this is the this is
the feud going on between the city of Austin who continue to
call them your neighbours of course they're your neighbours.
Camping, come and do whatever you want. And the Governor
Abbott, he's sending in the Texas Department of
Transportation to kick everybody out. Adler's then saying, Oh, we
won't be able to find them because they'll scatter that's
what's going on.
Fine once you get some, but it's
it's almost worse last night to keep her and I had dinner with
the Alan Graham and his wife at their tiny home in the
community. First village here in Austin, which is one of the few
programmes that's working takes no money from state government,
federal or otherwise, it's all donations, their housing over
250 people who pay rent, have jobs, or have steady income,
Social Security or disability but have to live in a community
and no cops running around policing everything.
Everything's fine. People do drugs, he's doing their own
house in the privacy of the little tiny home. And they do a
lot less drugs than they used to. And they seem to be worried
it's been going very well and they're adding another 500 in
the next year. They connected with the coda the Circuit of the
Americas, which is a commercial business. We have Formula One
this weekend. And the story you're about to hear was
actually tagged by a producer who copied both of us on it and
gave this as the article actually reads and even. The
video starts off with the Great Seal of the city of Austin as if
Austin has done anything. Which the city has nothing to do with
this next report
as Formula One fans from all over the world head to Austin to
them Austinites experiencing homelessness are heading to
work. There's more than
several 1000 positions that are filled. Certainly we can carve
out some for those who are in this particular situation for
three days. This weekend Circuit of the Americas is employing
people who are struggling with homelessness. The work will all
take place overnight and include setup and janitorial duties
as corporate partners of this community. Let's use the
opportunities we have to look across the entire population and
see where we can do some good and that's all we're trying to
do here.
The temporary employees are people receiving services from
to Austin nonprofits carry toss in Mobile Loaves and Fishes
a whole covey of people showed up to want to participate in
this Mobile Loaves and Fishes founder Alan Grant says word of
the job opportunities spread quickly through their community
first village so
really simple. You just got to find the people that want to
work and so when you work with organisations like Mobile Loaves
and Fishes and keratitis which are involved in this particular
programme, we know the people
it's the first time Coda has employed people experiencing
homelessness, but many hope it's not the last
We would love them to lean into us. And I'm sure the other
organisations that serve the homeless population and help
bring them dignity that will ultimately help them get up off
the streets.
So here's here's the part that pisses me off about this report.
The people from Caritas is an organisation here and they do
register, people experiencing homelessness. But the people at
the community first village, these are just jobs, they're not
homeless, they have homes. It's actually it's much better than
than what the report is saying. These people are off the street
trying to live in a community get their lives straight, many
of them have, and here's a great job opportunity at $15 now
remind you, which is more than kids get paid to retail in in
Austin, some a lot of them are working seven to $9 an hour. So
it's actually an incredible win. But it's presented in a weird
way like, Oh, don't worry about it. Awesome. It's all good.
We're taking care of it. When behind the scenes. Do you know
what the ideas are that these idiots of Stoke City Councillor
coming up with? They want to build one of those indoor
training fields, you know how you have the it's like a tennis
court with a blow up dome? Yeah, they want to they want to erect
one of those and put the homeless in they're
not gonna put him in there to play tennis.
Well, now that would be a better idea than just the blow up dome.
These people are stupid. And I can't I I can't tell you every
everything that I learned from Alan, because
there's some old hangers on the field.
I don't want to put him on the spot. But, you know, we had our
our homeless resource officer who big fanfare came in to
Austin and quit the next day.
Oh, yeah. This is what you went to have that you wanted to have
the dinner for? To find out? Why?
Yeah, well, apparently, there was a disagreement between one
particular city council member and kitchens. And the resource
officer who just had enough of it and said, Screw it. I'm not
going to do it. And I think part of it was there was a demand
that the new homeless resource officer within a week we'd have
a detailed report as she went, are you guys insane? It's gonna
take at least two months to gather all the data and really
understand what's happening.
Anyone who's in kitchens,
she's or one of our council members, one of the elected
council members. Troublemaker. She's a douche total. Like you
just Oh my God. Look up a picture. You don't even have to
hear her speak. And you know what kind of person you're
dealing with here. Okay, I will do that in kitchens. Austin City
Council with an E A N E kitchens que ECAA tch
but I thought we could do a hybrid idea. Why don't we just
get some bouncy castles for the homeless? I mean, I like the
idea of the blow up dome but let's have a look and have some
fun at the same time.
Yes, this woman is a younger version of a woman that Mimi has
trouble with and this Port Angeles
from the same race exists as this race of
alien women. Yes, it's bad and I wish she looks serious she's
just looks like a dummy
Isn't it interesting how you can look at someone like that and go
I know exactly how she is. And I know exactly why why someone
walk away like I don't want to deal with you. That's a no at
all nitwit. And a not in my backyard are disgusting. Anyway,
it's good to see that the local that the people of Austin
understand that you cannot fix people homelessness is not a fix
with a house or something now, they need community they need
people around them. And luckily there's places like Mobile
Loaves and Fishes community first village you understand
that and are doing something productive and otherwise what a
waste of our tax money and we got to vote all of these people
out except we just voted them in like idiots. You can't vote them
out the next election week next election we can
you think you can Oh, you think I can challenge you to get rid
of this woman?
I don't know if I have the energy.
If you had the energy, you couldn't do it. They get
entrenched. It's very strange phenomenon. It's and they have
their little cliques. Oh, my God, the woman's some room
become number of women's groups and they're all in it together.
Is this a really it's insidious? Yeah, sorry. Well, sometimes you
think, well, maybe global governance is better. Because
these people were actually placed in these positions of
responsibility to get you to think what I just said, when in
fact, there's got to be a different way of getting rid of
these people putting responsible people in.
I should have added this, this story to your millennial
segment. But we should we need to keep it in mind for our
animated series on Netflix. Now, what is one of the things that
are one of the things that I don't I understand it, but I
don't agree with it, when it comes to our show, or maybe any
show in general, is this listening at one and a half
times speed? Right. And a lot of people do this. And I would say
it's particularly of a certain generation. And it's a
compression, it's a self induced compression mechanism, where
they just want to cram more into their heads. Don't stop and
smell the roses on the way just give me more podcasts faster.
jam it in there, give me tweets and fun and 40 characters jam it
in there. I don't want to add I have no time to rest and watch
something.
Well, now Netflix timecode down, please.
Netflix is going to offer options to raise the speed of
your viewing experience up to one point 25 or 1.5 times speed.
Because the very first video they do this, they do this
trick. They've been doing it for decades on aeroplanes. Oh, I
didn't know is in flight entertainment. So you can see
the whole movie before you land. But but it's not a new
technology. Let's put it that way.
Well, no, but it just seems like can we find some time to just
relax and let it come over you and enjoy? I mean, to me, it's
like I've said it. I've said it before? Do these people go to
the Louvre and jog past the Mona Lisa?
Yes, they do. I mean, this is this has ever been to the
Louvre.
I haven't seen people jogging by but I take your word for it. You
know, and also how about this, here's an idea. Be selective.
You don't need to listen to everything. Just the no gender
show just the no agenda show, obviously. But you know, I don't
know it can't
feel like I feel like I'm in a good kind of a beatnik
stateless, this can't
be good for you. It just can't. Also, we won't do any jingles or
anything. But if you have a Fitbit, you're in luck. Google
is about to buy it. And it's not to keep you healthy.
I find this to be a distressing story.
Well, let's see if they if it actually goes through.
They'll see any reason why wouldn't. I do want to play get
this clip out of the way which is apparently Evanston, Illinois
killed Halloween.
I think we both had this clip in our list for three weeks
now to a controversy that has a lot of people talking as
Halloween approaches. One suburban school has cancelled
any celebration of Halloween and an effort not to exclude any
students. And 35 Lexy. Souter is live in Evanston tonight with
much more on the story. Let's say I was at Lincoln Elementary
School will no longer celebrate Halloween. That's a first for
the school for this year. That means no costumes for kids, no
classroom parades, but we've been talking to parents on both
sides of the issue and they say they they see why this has
changed. This year, Halloween will only exist after school
hours. For students attending Evanston, Lincoln Elementary.
These kids have a lot of chances to do candy I love trick or
treating, but they don't need to do it in school. This
grandmother of a Lincoln fourth grader wholeheartedly supports
the school's decision. Seeing multiple reasons as to why in
school celebrations should end I think there are two reasons to
not do it in school. One is that there are kids whose families
don't want to celebrate and who are kept home who feel excluded
by it. The other is is that I think most schools now we're
moving away from having lots of sweet treats and big
celebrations in school blocks away at Washington Elementary
and in school Halloween party is still planned.
What are you going to be for Halloween?
This mother of a six year old says she's looking forward to
continuing her family's tradition of creating homemade
costumes.
I think with Halloween, at least in modern times. It's not
necessarily a religious holiday.
What it's totally totally wasn't a religious holiday until it
became like pagan but it's definitely based in religion but
okay,
fairly a religious holiday. So I don't feel like it's favouring
one group over the other
district. 65 says in a statement quote while we recognise
Halloween is a fun tradition for many. It is not a holiday that
is celebrated by everyone for various reasons. And we want to
honour that. We are also aware of the range of inequities that
are embedded in Halloween celebrations that can take place
as part of the school day and the unintended negative impact
it can have on students, families and staff. Welcome to
the no agenda show.
I knew we get it in somewhere.
Yeah, I'm glad we did. Now the thing about this is that this is
because of some Muslim complainers. Oh, really? And now
I want to just back up a little bit because the Christian
complainers that a lot of fundamentalist Christians have
been complaining about Halloween celebrations in school for
decades. decades. And so now Nah, man, now too many kids
enjoy it. They didn't want Muslim because Mitch is about
this. You're dropping it Now this tells me a couple of things
one I think is fine I think if the Muslims don't want to do
Halloween and everyone's gonna knuckle under do it go push your
weight around. But the thing is the long term I see the Muslims
and the fundamentalist Christians actually joining
forces at some point to do some to move mountains I think they
can as it as a force the two groups because the Muslims
actually have a lot of leverage because we because the Liberals
out there bend over backwards to go right right right. A bunch of
atheists but whatever the Muslims say God we don't want to
stab in us they actually
I don't think I don't think they I don't think they think that I
think they think
end over backwards. So the two groups that fundamentalist
Christians and the Muslims the fundamentalist or not, I think
do a lot can move a lot of things make a lot of things
change if they ganged up well. The only comment I have gang up
on the rest of these guys. The only comment
I have is that you said mountains and clearly you should
have said mountains.
Mountains can move mountains. I'm going
to try to remove all the T's from my speech
wherever possible. You'll sound exactly like Christopher Walken,
if it's important.
