Climate shoutouts Adam curry John C. Devorah. December 1 2019
This is your award winning give on nation media assassination
episode 1195 This is no agenda dropping the T's countin 30
trees and broadcasting live from opportunity's own 33 the
frontier of Austin, Texas capital, the drone Star State in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I am now a big fan of
Weetabix with little maple syrup. I'm John Cena
and buzzkill
Weetabix. What's next Marmite? Weetabix. Kids grow up on that.
That's what kids in the UK grow up on is Weetabix Bix? Weetabix?
Yeah. Funny story we have mixes is also made in Canada and sold
here once in a while. I don't know where I've only found it by
accident. But or as the kids would say on accident. I still
understand the clients, the kids. So I looked into it. It's
actually an Australian product called wheat dash. Bix, yeah,
that was the two guys who invented they were sold out from
under him they moved to South Africa started up a company
called Weetabix. And then they moved that to England eventually
and Oh, really? Oh, so standard, probably this goes back to the
20s
Wow, I would say that there's a Lanham Act issue with WeetBix
and Weetabix. It's too close, too close. And you'll you should
try that with some of that Shanksville maple syrup.
Well, I use maple syrup but I don't open every maple syrup
that comes along right away. Next line I
had to I had to that is outstanding.
I'm sure it is. To us.
It's just it's too small.
Pennsylvania isn't is probably makes us distinctive maple
syrup. Because it's it's you know these different areas make
the trees or date taste different.
Yeah, well, yes. I've licked many a tree and I can agree.
They taste very different.
Anyway, look some bark myself.
Yeah, you know the that's where that's where the DMT comes from.
From tree bark. Yeah, yeah. The DMT
tree.
Yes. And you gotta have a druid who knows how to do it. But
that's that's where the good stuff comes from. From the tree.
Hey, thanks for the newsletter. That was really nice.
You're welcome. Yeah, I thought you were gonna be in Holland
today. The newsletter was kind of misleading. Well,
not really. I mean, would have corrected, you know, it made
sense. I guess it was just confusing if you didn't know
exactly what's going on. Yeah, I leave this week and I arrive.
Thursday morning. I sleep like early. I think I explained this
on the show. Maybe I wasn't clear. So fly Wednesday, arrive
early Thursday sleep, do the prep, then do the show sleep.
And then Friday, we have everything going on. Okay. And
then I have to stay the weekend. Otherwise, it's $6,000.
Right. You can't afford not
what is that? Why is that? What is that idea? And
why did they so doing it? Yeah. Well, it started 20 years ago
and Well, if your stairs shattered a you get less, cost
less. What is that for that? Well, it was load balancing,
obviously, but on the backs of the passengers. I don't know it
doesn't make sense to me.
Well, we might as well start with my unsafe airline clip then
hold on a second. Since I'm flying anyway.
The FAA tests are designed to replicate the real life panic of
an onboard emergency. smoke fills the cabin as the lights
suddenly go out. Now under orders from Congress to set
minimum seat size standards. The FAA is looking at whether
smaller seats actually pose a threat
we want to see a varying seat kitchen with has any influence
or effect on the time it takes to evacuate an aircraft
but critics say the tests up till now had been flawed. No one
grabs for an overhead bag. There are no children, elderly or
disabled participants and very few are obese. But dilemma three
out of four Americans are now overweight. Yet the airlines
have been shrinking sea sizes for years from 35 inches down to
31 inches and less today.
A lot of it comes down to plain and simple comfort but number
one should be safety. If we can't get out during an
emergency evacuation, then people are really in trouble.
The new FAA tests involve 60 volunteers at a time ages 18 to
60. Still no children, disabled or elderly. But the FAA promises
to test should better reflect America's wait demographic.
aircraft manufacturers must prove that every passenger can
get out of a plane with a 90 seconds with half the exits
blocked. The question tonight is whether to close for comfort is
also too close for safety.
So there was a couple things I hadn't realised thinking about
that. or listening to that clip. One is children, disabled and
elderly. Wow, that they will hamper my exit. Probably we
should put them in their own section.
Well, that's an idea. But I've got an idea that I've floated a
few times, which know is Blake's. You should. And I think
this is the most logical thing to do with airline fees is you
should charge by the pound.
Yes, I have heard this in the past. But still, that doesn't
mean that I won't have a child hampering my emergency exit. You
pick the kid up and move him because you cage the kids put
them downstairs. Everybody wins. Parents win too.
Yeah, well, I see you. You're just being flippant. I'm
actually serious about my by the pound thing. Because it's the
soul calculated by the pound of weight, how much fuel it takes
to move x number of pounds. Yeah, you're not
thinking about it. But no, I mean, no, I
little flies up on foot. And some of these little puddle
jumpers you get on they go from here to there. They do way up
for you, you know, on some of these flights times.
Yeah. Sometimes. I don't know. I think the way we charge is just
fine. The fact that they're overcharging is not so fine.
It's this. And then we're charging for a weekend. That's
what I want someone to tell us. Why that is taking
place. It's load balancing. I'm telling you, I just told you. I.
So I neglected to say or to mention something which I think
I do every year on the last show Thanksgiving is Black Friday,
and how in the in recent years, the anti American United States
of Europe has picked this up. Black Friday have clips. Very
good. I'll finish my statement has picked this up. And actually
in every language, they call it Black Friday. It's not as Varta
Friday in Dutch. So you hear now come up, starts kind of liking
the Black Friday, call him behind. You know, that's that's
one way to hear it. And it's an immediate everyone calls it
Black Friday. And I think what would happened is everyone is so
wrapped up in the commerce of it and the fact that it's Black
Friday that they forgot to warn people to be a lot of people out
there a lot of people congregating and that could be
nefarious actors roaming around trying to cause to wreak havoc.
And there were no warnings.
Well, no. Well, this Black Friday thing first showed up in
on our show went two years ago when I was in England for
Thanksgiving. Yes.
Ah, that's right. That's right. I thought I was reporting
back that night because I was stunned. I was good. There was
Black Friday, because the day after Thanksgiving is Black
Friday. I'm thinking puts black what watch this is an American
thing. And then I if I recall, the report was that it's Amazon
that was behind promoting Black Friday in Europe. Oh, that would
make sense. And yeah, to get everyone to Yeah, to get people
jacked up so they can have Cyber Monday. I think that's a long
term goal. But I didn't realise at the time that this had been
going on and when I reported on it this has been going on in
many parts of Europe and this report from DW describes the
whole situation this is Black Friday DW report. Love it
or leave it Black Friday is part of the calendar. Now a day of
over the top deals and big retailer hopes this year has
been no difference. Although some participants are in the
less than festive mood.
Santa Claus in Los Angeles makes it obvious to one and all her
Black Friday is about Christmas is just around the corner. So by
mountains of presents or just spoil yourself, but bye bye bye.
Black Friday arrived in Europe years ago, like here in Paris
where consumers are also scrambling for bargains. This
year in Paris and many other European cities, climate
activists have joined the throngs. They're making sure
everyone gets to hear their protests against consumerism,
wasting a finite resources on packaging. Some shops shut their
doors to stop the activists from protesting inside. Many
customers were suddenly locked in, and only a few were allowed
in at a time. The climate activists are calling it block
Friday. The idea being to block the shopping spree to publicise
their environmental concerns,
protesting against overconsumption today, we can
consume but more fairly more ethically. So when you buy a
handbag don't get a new one every year to change the colour
just like keep it. It lasts 10 or 15 years
from Black Friday back to the US and Black Friday. Shoppers are
more interested in finding bargains than worrying about
climate change or the downsides of consumerism you got
up at 1am. So you know the anticipation that you can see
behind us there's a lot of people who are aligned so you
want to be the first person to get what you want on Black
Friday
should additionally, Black Friday is the most important
sales day of the year. The US retail sector depends on it
being a success.
So nice climate change is very new.
Imagine what would happen with a bunch of climate change nut
balls in front of like, you know, one of these black friday
things at Walmart would be unbelievable. They get the crap
beat out of them. Yeah, they'd be trampled. But this is the
European way, of course. But it's been going on forever.
Apparently, Paris was a busy Big Black Friday operation, I guess.
I don't know. But it's like a holiday and report on
friendship Members of Parliament did did come out with a
statement. They're right in line with XR, they want to ban Black
Friday because of resource waste and overconsumption, which to be
honest, is the kind of
mentality that you have to wonder about some of these
governments. You need consumption in a in an economic
system like we run. Yeah. Everybody just stays home and
just uses old purses. It's just really good for the economy.
They wonder why they're always struggling.
Get your glad rags in your hand bags, ladies old person.
What is global warming have to do with consumption? I mean, I
could see
consumption now as the overconsumption everything you
consume has a carbon price attached to it, realised this,
though I'd have to be it. Although not I'd have to be it.
So here's the Black Friday report would not this one.
Here's another one. That's this is the NBC one. And I have to
this is a local, this one here. They were looking at this. This
is like I think this is a native ad and disguised as a news
report. And they lead this is a one of the most, I'd say heinous
reports on Black Friday because it's a report on Black Friday
and the retail and get out there and buy stuff. But it but they
couch it as a Homeland Security Warning. And then they dropped a
whole storyline of the Homeland Security and just get into the
native ads selling stuff.
While you're eyeing the sales tonight. A new warning keep your
eyes peeled for scams. The Department of Homeland Security
wants you to be aware of fake websites while shopping online
sharing to examples and red flags. websites that have
unusual addresses or lack contact info, adding if the
price is too good to be true, it probably is. But for many
consumers, there's no stopping their shopping. Much of it
coming online Black Friday saw a record high $7.4 billion in
online sales. nearly 3 billion of that coming from smartphones
alone, flying off the shelves this season in kids toys Paw
Patrol, LOL surprise and frozen to merchandise and electronics
including laptops, Apple air pods and big screen TVs. Experts
say this year when searching for those deals, the calendar will
actually work in your favour.
There's only 22 days between Cyber Monday and Christmas,
which is six days less than there were last year consumers
are going to reap the benefits of that because retailers you're
gonna see them offering more sales starting sooner,
so the sales have been worth it. Oh yeah. But not all shoppers
are leaving with a full stocking on social media complaints that
Walmart after advertising a marked down Apple wash abruptly
cancelled orders saying they were out of stock. Walmart calls
it a technical issue saying those customers can reorder at
the same Black Friday price. For shoppers in Atlanta. There's
only one measure of success this season. I can leave with some
stellar deals. I'm gonna try to find some deals that knock knock
our socks off.
So Walmart had this overstock issue of these of these damn
Apple watches and they're like, Oh man, what are we going to do?
By native ads?
Yeah, that is pretty what was the word you used? News report
disguised said no, no, no, I do. It was okay. We'll come back to
me he used the good word in the intro to that is exactly what
piece of shit I think we could have said it was very obvious
it is very obvious like it goes on and on and they get dropped
his Walmart story and his which has got nothing to do with
Homeland Security. And they dropped this Walmart thing at
the end of that oh yeah, they ran out of the Apple watches
their discount this on these watches for 124 Some $75 offer.
It's a it's still an expensive product, but it's cheaper than
buying it from Apple. And I'm wondering why why Apple has to
run stuff through Walmart. They also have a Costco operation now
they've gone all in man. They're selling Everywhere they can have
the ads that they're doing on TV now the CO CO ads with the with
the telcos this they're doing a lot. By the way I before I
forget pumping them out.
Probably about 14 The next 14 days we'll have our annual
Secret Santa who pays off everybody shit on layaway. We'll
have that one coming up. Will it be for Walmart again? Because it
usually is more Walmart
Yeah, probably Walmart, Walmart's Walmart's Walmart
so they have that you get the news report. Oh, everyone's on
layaway was paid off by a Secret Santa? Yeah, well, maybe target
maybe. Come and just as like, you know, these others things
always come. I'm gonna say it was story you can expect year
after year or month after month or every six weeks or whatever.
Yeah, it'll be some. And it'll be Walmart. Oh, somebody paid.
Oh, this man, such a great guy.
I'm trying to find one of those older reports. Lay
away now. And he's Mr. Anonymous.
No, it's always some anonymous person who pays everything off.
But what would we have named a clip like that?
I don't, that's a tough one to two hours. Yes.
Yeah. Ryan is offering new incentives to attract high
school. No,
that's not it. Damn, I know we have this. I know. We
just started your secret Santa, you're gonna spend too much time
looking for it.
Okay, and there's not a lot and. Okay. Anyway, we'll have a new
one in a few weeks.
Right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think was it $5.4 billion done online
in the US? That's pretty good. 7.7 something that was that was
that was all of last year, wasn't it? I don't know. This
report was pretty well, anyway, that Matina in at least went out
shopping in the afternoon and said it was it was not that it
was okay. But it wasn't crazy. People weren't killing each
other. I think more of us just are online. I think Amazon is
right, they push this. And Walmart, of course also has
their online, whatever they bought, and they buy something
for a billion dollars, and they're trying to catch up to
Amazon with it. Okay, yeah, bought some company.
That's
really good. Like, that'd be better. We had two of these
companies really competing is just Amazon dominating
everything.
They bought jet. That's what it was jet. Anyway, I do it. But
like the climate change angle? I do have a couple of updates in
the green New Deal.
Corner. And the first would be
that there was an article in Ad Age, the Ad Age is still still
meaningful for the industry, isn't it?
I believe so advertising. Advertising Age at age is always
ad weak. And advertising is so close to the ad, we can add age
and their Advertising Age tends to be the more old fashioned
more traditional. And I think better done publication.
Personally,
I agree. Back when I was in the industry, that you would look
forward to AD AD AD week was more like who's moving where
who's you know who's got a client who's who's pitching, but
at age? Yeah, I agree. That's more deeper in the industry.
Well, Aaron Hall who? I don't know if he writes for them
regularly, but he's the Group Director of naming at global
grant brand strategy firm Siegel, and Gale, who I don't
know, but sounds impressive to names. In he wrote an op ed in
adage renaming, climate change, can a new name finally make us
take action. And he starts off by saying I was a professional
name or I create names for companies, products and
services. After the global climate strike this past
September, I found myself thinking about the terms climate
change and global warming. Are these scientific terms, which I
think is funny by itself. Are these scientific terms to
neutral? Do they do enough to grab attention and inspire
people to take action? Well, I don't need to read the rest of
the article except for some of the highlights because
obviously, he's looking at rebranding climate change and
getting his cohorts along for the ride because there is a lot
of climate activist advertising going on. It's you know, it's
what we do money.
It's big, good money, I think money and if you have the right
brand and the right branding, whether it's for product that
you want to intertwine with climate change, or you just want
to get some of that sweet, sweet government dollars. You got to
have some good names. So he set himself out a little strategy,
you know, the way you do it and advertising for reach. The new
name needs to speak to a global threat affecting 7.5 billion
humans. As such, our global team of neighbours from London, New
York, San Francisco, and Shanghai develop these new
names. The audience, I'm trying to give a little Advertising
spin to it. This is a briefing now as he's pitching to
me before you continue, I have not read this. This is all news
to me. And now he did. He addressed the fact that they've
already tried to change global warming to climate crisis and
climate emergency.
He's completely ignored that because he actually has some of
that in his in his pitch names.
Because he's just, he's actually not keeping up.
No, I think he ignored it purposefully. And he has a
number of names, and he probably threw in some stuff just to make
it, you know, like, oh, that yeah, I've kind of heard that.
But we want something better. I think it's something that you
do. If you want to sell a pair of shoes, you show someone the
sandals, the boots, and then the shoes you actually wanted to
buy? Audience, the brand needs to reach an audience that isn't
trained in scientific terms. It's like climate change. That's
a scientific term. We need these folks to these folks, to
understand folks to understand the severity of what's happening
to their planet and inspire them to make more eco friendly life
choices and pro Climate Choices at the ballot box, and the
message. There are many possible themes, tones and styles of
names to explore. The name could signal hope or fear, or change.
It could be a call to action, be more descriptive or use familiar
metaphors that emotionally connect us to the issue. With
all of this in mind, our team of wordsmiths developed. You can't
charge for a name like word Smith, you can never call you
never call your global name branding team word Smith.
Anyway, with all of this in mind, our team of wordsmith
developed the following new names for climate change. Now,
I'll just give them to you. If you want a little further
explanation I can, I can go into the to the pitch paragraph, but
we'll start with the first two global meltdown and global
melting.
Wow, what a lipsmack. Well, let me tell you, this is
interesting.
Both of those are terrible. By the way. This guy would fire on
the spot. He has more. He has more. I'm just Dr. Fired. But
the reason I say that is because I was talking to the lib Jos in
a little roundabout on the on the chatter to chat.
Messaging, but yeah, there are the RCS Yeah.
And I was ridiculing the stupid picture of Greta, is this been
put on the side of a building in San Francisco and it's just huge
head. That's just a monstrosity. And it just, it's frightening. I
think people should protest. The city council is scaring kids.
And I said and I said why don't you put somebody else up there.
I mentioned Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King was a million
people you want to paint a big head, it would be more
appropriate to I can't wait for the comeback. And what and I
said why did they do this? And so one of the lib Joe's writes
back because the Earth is melting.
Okay, so.
So this is in the
lexicon? Yes. Well, these options are subtle brands shifts
from global warming subtle, yet they deliver a more negative
image. These names signal that ice caps are melting, but also
create a more visceral image in the mind. That real feeling of
melting when it's too hot outside. We'll move on climate
collapse or climate chaos
will climb climate collapse, I think is they've tried them to
promise climate collapse is all well, we're done. We're done.
We're over. Go back to work.
Well, he personally likes the alliteration. A naming trick you
would to a naming trick proven to enhance memorability. So I
don't like either one of them. Then he goes on to the boiling
point or melting point. Again with the melting Yeah, hey, it's
just sweat slinger. They all it was just done during the winter
where they're all bundled up outside. I don't know. Yeah.
They're complaining about the boiling point. It's a boiling
point. Let me take my scarf over, it's time to take the
gloves off and stop pretending sometimes the brand names to be
named needs to be hyperbolic to truly capture our hearts and
minds. If we don't take massive action now Earth will be
uninhabitable and irreversible barren wasteland. Plants and
animals will die. Humans won't be able to survive extreme
weather like floods, droughts and fires. If we don't change we
won't even be able to spend time outside. This term paints the
dark the die A picture of what's to come and what we must avoid
and it's likely the edgiest brand name from our exploration
carrier to guess. By the way, for anyone I met Apocalypse for
anyone to write that in adage, that paragraph you're pretty far
out there. A scorched earth is his term which of course is not
anything new but he feels that would be really good to get
people's attention. That's terrible. All right, now he has
some other
Gorch Earth which is specific is a not a scientific term has
historical term. Yes. And it means where you you're leaving
Europe in a war and they you decide to burn down the
everything behind you so that anyone chasing you cannot get
supplies or live. I think this scorched earth policy. I mean,
you can't put downward because that assumes somebody's actually
doing something.
I'm trying to think did this Aaron Hall, did he come up with
the new coke name? Seems like he might have been on that team. He
has a couple other honourable mentions. So that was it. That's
his pitch. Those are his his names. I think she has a couple
of honourable mentions in mission critical. Planet
critical.
Pre mission critical is
upon listen to this one. Pre extinction. This I like you and
I could use this with climate change. Yes, I believe we are in
pre in the pre extinction phase. Which of course is
pretty good because we aren't we are extinction. Rebellion is
exploiting that.
Yeah, but but we can actually say this because of course,
we're pre extinction. We're also
perpetually in pre extinction. That's why I like it.
Pre extinction. We have to come up with this little snow slogan.
Well, here's the great collapse, which I think is an interesting,
and another great collapse sounds like an economic thing.
Yeah, this is no good.
And then earth shattering. That's no good. Oh, there's none
of these are good. Except pre extinction.
That's kind of cool.
That's kind of cool. But well, it's not gonna get the job done.
Sir Jean weighs in. He says, why not just call it Earth cancer.
That'll give everybody the wrong idea.
That's actually better. Jeanne said is better than anything
this guy said. It's better than the rest.
Here's the latest from extinction rebellion.
We're here outside YouTube's headquarters because
they're protesting outside YouTube YouTube headquarters in
London.
We're here outside YouTube headquarters. Because I got a
report, it's found that the majority of YouTube
by the way his guardian report, report is a report.
It's they're funnelled up, of course,
way house like YouTube headquarters because a guardian
report is found that the majority of YouTube videos go
against the scientific consensus about the climate crisis. And
we're asking them to tell the truth about the climate crisis
and not let this misinformation be spread once you've
watched one video, which was misinformation that fits your
stream, and it keeps going on with just more and more and more
misinformation, because that's the way its algorithm works.
People do what they do, because of the stories that they're
told. The majority of the videos about climate science on YouTube
are telling lies, lies in charge of his company know that we are
in an enormous emergency if people
understood the reality of the crisis that we face that they
would be in the streets with us.
Then you go extension extinction rebellion pre extinction
rebellion see a picture
they got a picture that guy there's heads that thing up,
it's just a horrible look. And Percy looks like Satan.
In the UK, they had a I guess they had some kind of climate
debate. And neither Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage decided
to show up. So on the TV because I don't know if they decided
last minute or they said we're not coming I think was more like
we don't want to do this. And so they had you know, three or four
different party leaders. And then on either end, it would
have been Boris or Nigel. And instead the head melting busts
of them of ice melting.
Very funny. I wish there by the way, this is the typical
unfairness of the whole thing to do to do that, but they couldn't
have brought a spokesperson in it said you know, for people who
want to do campaigning, the way you're supposed to do it is you
you have so many doesn't show up. Well, he didn't show up but
we do have another representative self proclaimed
you Kip or Brexit party member, Bill Jenkins here and you bring
some some Sujan that's getting Nothing to do with the party
doesn't believe in anything there and just makes a fool of
himself. Or he's a stutterer. Right. There's some earplugs,
you bring through like that and you don't pull this other stuff
because it's too obvious the other way, the this way, the way
I'm describing is never much necessarily obvious. It's up to
the, you know, fine tune folks who listen to the no agenda
show.
There was quite the fractious over the past couple of couple
of days as Bolsonaro of Brazil. Brazilian President Bolsonaro
claimed that
a group that supports
I guess works in an NGO Amazon forestation NGO receive money
from Leonardo DiCaprio and that they're the ones that set the
Amazon on fire.
Yes, I have this clip for you. Do you? Oh,
I love this.
Hi. Covering your ass today. Yeah, well, thanks. Which one is
every? Every topic I got a clip.
Well, here's, here's how it works. I sit down. I'm going to
do clips. If I see you have the clip. I'm just gonna get the set
dressing. I'm gonna get the window stuff.
Yeah, you're getting all the credit. Oh, you're all wet. Just
okay, it's false. It was it was the Segway was so beautiful.
Thank you. By the way before you segue out what you're going to
do. I do have a couple other screwball climate change these
blisters and the Bolsonaro this this thing's looks like I don't
know who this is a publicity stunt for but it is for somebody
tonight a war of words between Brazilian President Jair
Bolsonaro and Oscar winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio,
President Bolsonaro blaming the star for the devastating Amazon
wildfires earlier this year. Caprio is a cool guy, he said
giving money the Amazon Fire Bolsonaro has accused
nongovernmental environmental organisations of deliberately
setting fire to the Amazon to get donations. In context
Leonardo DiCaprio He alleges he donates $500,000 You are
contributing to the fire in the Amazon. Investigators have not
found any evidence so far to support the accusations. And now
the actor and avid climate activist is hitting back saying
in an Instagram statement. While worthy of support we did not
fund the organisations targeted adding that he remains committed
to helping secure the Amazon for the future of all Brazilians.
The fire so far have helped destroy millions of acres column
before this concludes how how can this not be a problem for
the XR folks? When when he saying well while it's worthy of
support of burning down the Amazon? We didn't do it this
time? Isn't this whole thing like wasn't everyone all out of
their minds because of these fires and it was going to create
more carbon dioxide and less plants? So where did i Where did
I miss the change here that this that it's okay for him to say
Oh, it's good that they do that?
Well that this was discussed we discussed this in great detail
as I recall in from all kinds of perspectives and they do burn
the forest quite a bit every year yes part of the process
that they used to I'm not
disagreeing with it but how come the the extinction rebellion
aren't up in arms that he would actually support that
the Shannara would support know that
let DiCaprio supports the burning of
the Amazon?
I don't know. Don't you remember that? Amazon is burning? We're
all gonna
die if we miss the lungs of the earth. Yeah,
did Yes. The lungs of the earth did we miss this report? And now
but all Leonardo said it's good. And then we just don't talk
about I'm sorry. Maybe I'm misinterpreting this.
You might be misinterpreting something because I don't
remember. I don't know that's in there. You can you play it and
show me this specific part you're referring to?
Yes. $500,000 you are contributing to the fire in the
Amazon. Investigators have not found any evidence so far to
support the accusations. And now the actor and avid climate
activist is hitting back saying in an Instagram statement. While
we're there support, we did not fund the organisations targeted
adding that he remains committed to helping secure the
well worthy of support the NGO that burned down the Amazon. We
didn't give money, give them money.
Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay. Yeah, well, there's two
things in in that clip that are bothersome that's one of them.
The other one is in an Instagram announcement is what when people
shouldn't do their announcements on Instagram. Is that just for
photos?
Oh man, if you're Leonardo you can that's your platform. That's
where you go
Amazon for the future of all Brazilians. The fire so far have
helped destroy millions of acres of the ecosystem known as the
lungs of the earth.
Governments around the world including Brazil need to work
together to make sure this doesn't continue for the
president
of a country to claim that an actor is actually trying to hurt
the environment that he's trying to protect. It's just it just
shows how little Bolsonaro has in his in his pocket.
Did you hear? Did you listen to that last part again, and really
understand the implications of what he said.
I want to hear it again. The last the last 10 seconds here.
Yeah, that guy comes with some joker comes on at the end and
says something. Oops, continue for the president
of a country to claim that an actor is actually trying to hurt
the environment that he's trying to protect. It's just it just
shows how little Bolsonaro has in his in his pocket?
Does he it sounds to me like he's implying that actors
general have no power. Well, there's that. But he's saying
that actors in general would never never no actor. Oh, ever
right?
Just as all all. All creative people are Democrats.
Yeah, according to John Legend. So there's this kind of
arrogance in amongst the ranks. That you know, if you're an
actor, you're an artist, and therefore you'd want to do this
and you want to do that you wouldn't even think of voting
Republican. Who was the guy at the end there who did some sit
down guy was some stooge. I don't know. They may have had a
lower third with his name on it. It was not even important
person, but he was making commentary. But I just was what
I started up today, and that was no
actor could ever ever do that. No actors or glare you?
Were all for client. We're all against climate change. As an
actor. Do you want to hear the John Legend clip for refreshing
refreshment, please?
Well,
we've always been liberal musicians, actors, actors, it's
almost by disposition. We deal with the gay and lesbian
community all the time. So we're going to feel like they should
have the right to get married, just like we do. We deal with
people of all colours and all races and we travelled to
different countries all the time to perform. So we're going to
have a more global view and a more inclusive, it's almost by
nature, and by and by circumstance of the things that
we do. So if America doesn't want to consume the art of
people who are liberal minded, there's not going to be a lot of
art for them to consume. As simple as that. Because the best
artists, most of them are liberal. Sorry. There are some
country artists that I know they're conservative. I have a
lot of country artists that are friends. And believe me, some of
them are liberal, but they don't make a big deal out of it
because they know it will alienate their base. I'm telling
you, most creative people are liberal
to say I have a lot of country people who are my friends. Is
that not the same as saying yeah, I have black people who
are some some of my best friends
like people who are my friends, contribute with my friends.
Exactly the same. Thanks, legend. And then we also
reintroduced the secret vote thing, which is that well, you
know, if you got a minister, you could vote, they'd vote against
him. And that's what he's implying. There. He says a lot
of country western singer. Ah, yes. Yeah, they're that in
there in the closet. They're in the closet. You see, they can't
really say anything because they know they
can't say anything but if you actually could get them to say
what they really meant. They're all liberal.
Yes, of course, obviously. So DiCaprio continues to be a good
shepherd. Or Stewart I should say of agenda 21 as he is now
officially announced his investment in the Beyond Meat
vegan burger company.
Chemicals are us
now is that true? Do they have chemical
Better Living Through Chemistry? Yeah,
well is it I thought it was just all beans Sure, there's there's
a bunch
of there's a I don't have the package in front of me but
there's a lot of additives and things to make it work and as PS
I think right
the did you want to do some more a climate change because I got a
few since we're on climate change and it's pouring rain
here and it's freezing cold oh man we had started makes I think
it's worth ematic we
had a couple of dreary days here as well cold wet,
but it's actually not where I am. It's actually not as bad as
it is everywhere else in the Bay Area. But yeah, we got an
invasion of purple Urchins is an NBC report this purple Urchins
invasion, one
with an environmental emergency and passions and unexpected
predators disrupting a fragile ecosystem off our West Coast.
Gotti Schwartz went under the sea with a group trying to make
a difference before it's too late.
You'd never noticed from along the coastlines of California but
below these picturesque waters, an ecological emergency is
unfolding. We're going to show you underwater to see this
hidden crisis you have to go deep with a small school armies
of volunteer Here's all the way to the sea floor, or purple sea
urchins are invading and destroying what were once vast
kelp forests.
So these act almost like mod Mars, exactly like
on Mars form feeding lines
to kind of sweep across an area.
The Sears is just one piece of a catastrophic Trifecta
devastating the ecology of California sea life. Warming
waters from climate change and a disease wiping out starfish, the
sea urchins natural predators have led to a purple urgent
takeover. A few years ago, these kelp forests stretched all up
and down the Northern California coast. They have been decimated.
They're known as the red ones of the ocean. And this is one of
the last patches left
so only 10%. That's not too bad. I guess if it's been decimated
on your coast,
but they have been decimated they are known as the red ones
of the ocean. And this is one of the last patches left. Which is
why volunteers like Joshua Russa are spending their weekends
trying to remove as many purple urgence as they can back. So
this is one of the last stands that we've lost over 90% of our
kelp beds in Northern California. Experts say the kelp
forests are the foundation for countless food chains from
plankton, the abalone fish crabs, sea otters, all now
replaced by a barren sea bed of urgence.
Now, where did these come from?
Sea urchins?
Yeah. Are they are they indigenous? Yeah, they're
kind of I think so I think they're native. And they used to
here's the real problem. They're bringing me to Sunriver global
origin. Global warming kills the starfish and the starfish
died of some mysterious disease that they've never identified.
And they could be replenished. Because they're pretty, because
the starfish love these urchins. And anyone who eats Guney knows
what they're going for there.
Yeah, I was gonna say I mean, can't we? It sounds like a good
supply of food. Yeah, Guney. We can do a lot with these
urgencies, the fishing trades.
There's like a billion of them. Oh, right now they guesstimate
Yeah. And they're out there all over the bottom. There's point
either horrible looking things and they're picked. They're
trying to salary what they're where they're bothering but, but
when you listen to part two, you can get kind of a clue. And then
I will talk about as you listen to this part, what's changed out
here,
we have a crisis in the making. The ocean is dying, because
we've got a, b and c are
eating everything. But unsure solutions are limited with
regulations restricting how many agents can be harvested by hand?
If that's all the law, will allow us to do then we'll do the
best we can but it's futile.
So for now, volunteers are plucking them out one by one.
Purple drops in a bucket for a problem growing every day. I
think we need
emergency legislation.
It seems to me what would happen here was that sea urchins these
little purple guys were being
being protected by being protected by some bullcrap
legislation and they grew out of control.
Yeah, hello.
And this is a Democrats state they could change the
legislation easy enough, I don't think is a federal law that
keeps you from just taking a plough. Because you could see
you could go down there if you had some mechanical stuff
because you have to by law, you can only pluck these things by
hand and you can't even count to a billion let alone pluck a
billion of these things out of the bottom you know, it's
obviously the sushi restaurant owners lobby that is keeping
these regulations
probably killing all these things and we're running short
and then they said no, no, no, you can't do that. You know,
guys, you're killing all these damn things. And so they
legislated to let them grow and so now they're taken over the
place and as a lot of this story that needs to be further
investigated, but I'm starfish is one of the problems which may
have been for all you know, poisoned. Yeah, to keep the sea
urchins going so they can have more Guney the Japanese love oni
Well now you're talking some trade would with Japan
apparently we're selling we're selling rice to China now so why
would we sell sushi to Japan?
Well, yeah, I don't see why not. I don't know now somebody out
there who's an expert Do we have some we have people that we have
been we definitely have taken say this is not the edible UI or
the edible sea urchin, but I don't know why would it be
protected in such a way if it wasn't? So I'm sure it's the
edible one. And starfish apparently loved eating them. So
it's a mess but it but global warming is not the problem.
No, but it's always fun to mention it
Yeah, it's just keep pounding and pounding and pounding
because it works. Does work as we know I don't know if I get
any more global warming stuff here. Well, no, by we do have
this this is something we probably needed to get out of
the way to at least so we can feel better that we were doing
the show on the And we did it on Thanksgiving. We're doing it
today we're doing it where you're in Holland. And let's
listen to what's going on around the country that Thanksgiving
weather report. Good evening. Dangerous
deadly weather is slamming much of the US right now. Blizzard
conditions crippling parts of the Rockies, Midwest, Great
Plains, even Arizona, and this is just the beginning. More than
70 million people will also be hit with gusty winds, flash
floods and tornadoes. Treacherous conditions for the
55 million travelling home from the holidays. Airports are on
alert. Cancelling flights 1000s More already delayed. We're
tracking multiple storage systems this hour. Kathy Park
starts us off.
Tonight. powerful storms grading chaos for post Thanksgiving
travellers as snow heavy rain and strong winds barrel across
the country. In Colorado hurricane force wind gusts
whipping snow in all directions, creating whiteout conditions.
Winds are really whipping through here tough even for this
meteorologist to stand and dangerous for those daring to
drive on the roads. In Arizona a massive pile up on the
interstate with trucks stuck for hours and a snowy Grand Canyon
town declared a state of emergency with no power
stranding 1000 Taurus tornadoes even touched down in Phoenix and
floodwaters turned deadly in nearby healer County. In our V
guns swept into this creek only six people made it out alive as
water quickly submerge the vehicle
listening to this and audio is probably even better than
watching this on television.
I think it is except for one thing was that they had a photo
or shot or a video of the Grand Canyon it covered with snow.
Yeah. Wow. Is that something to look at? It's just the Grand
Canyon but there's snow all over the place. It's very pretty.
Well, we should do we should do our own little report. I think
you should talk to me. I'm at Austin Bergstrom airport.
And we've got a report from Adam curry. He's in oxygen Austin
Bergstrom airport as we speak Adam there John John. As you can
imagine that this weather is really messing up a lot of
travel plans for the holiday travellers we've got here it's
just a camera man like countless horrible for Thanksgiving. And
that's it
buddy Thanks Adam. That's Adam curry at the airport be safe
buddy.
People in the in the troll room like hey man sounds like there's
some static or something What am I hearing that's the wind
blowing on the mic you fools put all this time into production to
have a bit you know use that's actually if you listen to a
report that I had to clip of. They use that sound into the
into the voiceover they use my sounds the sound of a god
reporter in our hurricane out in the wind and he's got a dead cat
whatever he's using to muffle the sounds not helping.
That's my favourite kind of report. Love them.
So now that is using that sound to make it windy sounding.
Yes. Exactly.
Bad miking. Very funny. Yeah. Yeah, it's a routine thing.
Oh, so much. Speaking of. of the of the holiday, Thanksgiving,
Thanksgiving.
I'm sorry. I have one more global warming clip. Oh, well,
that has precedence. Of course. Well, we're on the topic. Yeah,
sea level rise, shorty and Deutsche Avella.
If you live in coastal areas of China, Bangladesh, India,
Vietnam, or Thailand, you may have to move within the next 30
years. The reason sea level rise. A new study predicts that
by 2050 increases in sea levels due to melting ice sheets could
affect more people than previously estimated.
Yeah, I think what they're trying to create is some kind of
panic selling moment. The Elite can come in and get some nice
beachfront property.
And what they brought, they brought this guy on who did this
report for some climate change operation. And he's admitted
that there was no difference in the numbers that they've ever
been, except now they're, they're perceiving the
possibility that the landmass is going getting lower. Yes, it's
sinking. It's sinking.
It has instead of the sea level rising, actually the land is
sinking and a lot of that is happening. There's a lot of
erosion because of sand theft. Primarily. A lot of these
islands sand is being stolen and it helps make that country sink
like the Maldives. Stealing sand onward. So we laughed on the
last show a bit about the new Newsweek report that Trump, oh,
he's spending his Thanksgiving holiday golfing and drinking,
golfing and Horan and Van Horn aren't around. And of course, he
went to Afghanistan, which was somewhat unexpected. Now that
Newsweek reporter was fired, and now the reporter is recharging,
saying, Hold on a second, I called the editor the who was on
duty. And I told him, Hey, something's going on. And he
filed my report anyway, it's his fault. Yeah. So they're, they're
pointing fingers at each other. I like it. Yeah, running scared.
But it just shows how phoney the news business is everything you
saw on television, pretty much maybe your local live news cast,
but even that had a lot of pre roll packages, because that's
what happens. This just they stopped with news, they go home,
they have their own public be damned. And they just filed the
reports and you know, make it up as they go along. And it's not
just Thanksgiving, it happens with many other things. That's
why I left. That's why I like being here. Like being alive.
Oh, I
thought you were going to have a clip that was going to exemplify
this.
Oh, if only I did know. I have other fun stuff to talk about.
But
I don't I kind of follow that story with that woman in her
false report. And she was she was told to file it days early.
And so she had to guesstimate what was going to
give us your your Thanksgiving report early. It just just
a lot of people don't realise it when people die. They're obits
ready
to go. That's that's how they sometimes slip out by accident.
Yeah, every show was somebody's accidentally prints one of them.
Yeah. Very well prepared obit
there was a there's a big revelation in the Jeffrey
Epstein case. That was detailed in the New York Times.
Apparently, some hacker named Kessler has come out of the
woodworks and has been, in fact has been talking to different
parties for several months, saying that he has an entire
server full encrypted, etc, etc. of prominent people from Jeffrey
Epstein's recordings, that he that he set up the secure server
or a secure server for Epstein and that he had access and he's
now created a replica of it. He went to the the some lawyer I
mean, it's a very I just got it this morning, so I haven't
really Yeah,
because he's gonna get killed if he doesn't do this, right. Yes.
But he but what's worse is he went to some lawyers said, okay,
you know, I have this, what are we going to do? And the lawyers
actually wanted to, as per this hacker, wanted to take that
information and use it to blackmail the people themselves.
Think about who your lawyers. But here
I have a I have a clip from the weekly podcast. Because of
course, if it's Jeffrey Jeffrey Epstein, we got to move it off
the front page to a podcast. This story really
began for us the day in July, that Jeffrey Epstein was
arrested and criminally charged with sex trafficking of minors.
Suddenly, he was some
I'm just gonna say upfront, I am as much as I love this
invention, podcasting. What they've done with reporting is
it's like the trying to all be score sassy, you know, or, you
know, Phil Spector, the Wall of Sound look at these edits, I've
got these little music beds and these hit just get to the damn
story to trying to make an Emmy Award winning, or what is it
Marconi award winning stuff every single time with an
episode dramatic.
This story really began for us the day in July, the Jeffrey
Epstein was arrested and criminally charged with sex
trafficking of minors.
Suddenly, he was someone we were thinking about. One of the big
questions was where his money was from,
how does someone like that come up with hundreds of millions of
dollars.
And we were tantalised by the fact that he seemed to have
influence with a lot of powerful people.
And these weren't models and Hollywood. These are some of the
biggest names in business and finance.
They were Nobel Prize winners, Wall Street bigwig is the list
goes on
and on. And we want to figure out why people had gravitated to
him even after he had become known as a sexual predator.
And then in September, our reporters met a man who claimed
to have a secret trove of information from Epstein's
properties.
And this is someone who had extraordinary probably
unparalleled inside access to not only Epstein but his
Epstein's digital archive,
if what then For Matt was saying was true, it had the potential
to unlock Jeffrey Epstein's most important secrets.
That's what I mean. It's like you're on the no agenda show as
we think about the most important things. Jeffrey
Epstein might have gone. It could be something nefarious.
Yes, exactly. needed that we should just do the show like
that just over
should be playing music in the background.
It could be useful Well, if you read the reporting on it,
though, it's this is interesting. Of course, you
know,
we're reading from a script. Yeah, we could, they could have
finished clipping there have been a lot shorter. I just taken
forever to say what they wanted to say. And
I just love that they have you know, that there's this guy out
there who says, Hey, I've got it and that apparently showed
something on his phone,
set up a deadman switch and make sure that stuff goes to
WikiLeaks if anything happens to him
Yeah, well, I don't know if you want to go to Wiki Leaks but
well someplace Yeah, well, he's that's he has said this yes that
he has a
WordPress WordPress blog.
What no Squarespace for your deadman switch sacrilege in the
me to arena very important study has come out. In the Springer,
evolutionary cycle, psychological science, publish a
section of their publishing system. So it's an official one.
I can only get the abstract because I don't have any way to
purchase this in
your Verlag. Yes.
Sexual strategies and the perception of sexual advances,
oppression or opportunity. Here we go. Remember, this comes
originally from Eliza Schlesinger, as highlighted by
the no agenda show. From an evolutionary perspective, the
perception and interpretation of sexual advances depend on sex
specific mechanisms, individual differences in the perceivers
mating strategies, and the actors attractiveness. In two
studies, participants evaluated hypothetical situations of
sexual advances from a co worker varying in attractiveness. Can
you imagine this study John can imagine setting can you imagine
well, hey, we're gonna study can the no agenda show help choose
the participants?
Right, it's like doing a casting call.
Varying in attractiveness, that was study one and physical
appearance or status in study to non that's very slight. There's
another one Yeah. Yeah. In both rich and out, here's here's the,
here's the here's the thing though. In both studies, men,
perceived sexual advances as less negative than women,
especially when the advances arise from a physically
attractive actor, for the
first stop depresses. Furthermore, he dead again, I
had no idea who could
have thunk. In both studies, men perceive sexual advances as less
negative than women, especially when the advances arise from a
physically attractive actor. Now, mind you, the men are the
horndogs so it's less than women. I think, since I don't
have the study, I'm pretty sure they put it in there to make
women sound less douchey. But it's amongst its really equal as
we continue to read. Furthermore, the higher the
socio sexual orientation of the participants What the hell does
that mean socio sexual?
I have you know, generally speaking I could probably like
from some perspective answer that question like that. I have
no idea what you're talking about. Is socio sexual.
socio sexuality is the individual difference in the
willingness to engage in sexual activity outside of a committed
relationship Oh cheaters
the higher they say cheater socio sexual doesn't even imply
that political crazy term but anyway, keep reading science
man Shut up, it's science. Furthermore, the higher the
socio sexual orientation of the participants, the less harmful
these sexual advances are perceived, okay. Finally, the
same behaviour from an attractive or physically
attractive actor is perceived as less harmful than from an
unattractive actor results are discussed from an evolutionary
perspective on the perception of sexual advances. So it's a
scientific fact that if you're hot, you can you can harass all
you Want
Well, I think that's borne out by reality. That poor Harvey
Weinstein must really feel like a crap. Man in the World
apparently.
Well, Billy Joel already proved to us that as long as you got
talent or money, it doesn't matter how you look at that. You
got Christie Brinkley, you know, so
she left him at the drop of a hat. That was the alcohol. That
was the staying power.
staying power.
Just thought you'd be happy about I'd be chaffed chuffed
about that chaff shuffle. shrugged. I don't know what the
term is. I
don't know what that means. Well, happy about it just
confirms reality. I just like the whole thing. And now you got
Chris unfortunately reopens the well, she's too ugly to have a
boyfriend kind of argument. Oh, it's gonna be heartless,
heartless right wing girls, the good look, and heartless right
wing women are always condemning the ugly women for being ugly.
Now, what know the logical outcome is? Why didn't you
sexually harass me? Because I'm ugly? Is that why?
Oh, that's a great way to go. Of course, it's going that way.
Yeah. Then you got just the opposite. The pendulum swings in
the opposite direction.
I mean, already, if if you're in the social justice circles, and
someone says, Well, would you date a trans woman? You have to
say yes. If you don't say yes, then you're transphobic. So
would you date an ugly woman? Yeah, of course. You have to say
yes. Yes, of course. Yes.
Yeah. Well, that's part of the laws they keep trying to pass in
California, where you can't discriminate on account of
looks. Ron literally kind of looks and this was put forth by
a bunch of people who are all give their ears gauge, they got
face tats. They got horns that have been embedded into their
head, their faces read, they learned dev little It literally
looked like the devil they get a canine teeth that had been
implanted. So they looked just horrible looking people that
just gruesome and you have to hire them.
Alright, you want to do a 2020 politics here? You want to do
something else? We have a couple minutes if you want to.
I have some healing to do a little Brexit. Oh, yeah,
Brexit will be good. We'll get
into this. We get into some action here. We're
getting pretty close. Yeah.
First of all, I have a man on the street report. That's kind
of interesting. This is they're talking about Brexit in the
upcoming elections is
how important in this election? Do you think Brexit is very
important?
That's what I think, I think is going to be most important
question banks. It's
a really important issue for a lot of important issues, Britain
at the moment, and so it's hard to separate it from the
election,
but dig deeper, and things get more complicated. Is there
anyone in particular that you think is better placed than
anyone else to sort Brexit out? So I don't want Brexit to
happen. So whatever outcome of the election makes it more
likely would be good for me. What conservative would get it
over the line, I would believe is that what do you want to see
happen? Not necessarily. Opinion polls indicate that the number
of people who will base their vote on Brexit has more than
doubled since the last election from 18% to 40%. Now add the
prominence of Brexit as an election issue to the huge
divergence of views on Brexit. And what you get is bad news for
a settled result.
For the party that wants to stop Brexit
Labour has a clear plan to get Brexit sorted within six months,
we can
get Brexit done now,
one way or another, almost everyone you talk to wants
Brexit over with. But
what if the voters are so bored with Brexit? They screen out the
issues around Brexit. Both the voters screen it all out and
they decide to vote on the domestic issues that wire them,
whether it is the NHS or housing, or all this other
issues. And those are areas where by and large the
opposition party the Labour Party have got the strongest
policies and the biggest support.
That's one among many variables in the coming election
that country's issues have been put to the backfoot. For us,
they're talking about Brexit Brexit, so I don't know if
anybody's competent enough. I'm a bit confused with it all to be
honest with you see.
The polls do point to a conservative victory though and
if Boris Johnson wins a majority that could mean the UK leaving
the EU he says by Christmas
by Christmas just never ends,
that there's some irregularities that took place. We had this
stabbing on London Bridge, which enabled the Prime Minister to be
interviewed and speak because you know, it's a they have a two
week is a two week at the two week dark period where there's
no campaigning, there's no political messaging, there's
really nothing on television. I think there's ord there's no
political programming perhaps. I don't know exactly what the rule
is, but you can't campaign I think yeah, I don't know it's
rule isn't some kind of stupid rule. So they had to get special
permission for the Prime Minister to speak on television
about it, but also this knife attack itself. I mean, when you
have an important election coming up, which will be very
determining for the outcome of Brexit with you know, either
stays the same or goes away entirely or as many would hope
there's a majority for the Conservatives and they can go
ahead and RAM everything through and make it happen to all of a
sudden have an immigration based tragedy take place is always
handy.
This is beyond handy in particular,
because both the the guy who who did this he was out on special
circumstances at a conference for earlier prisoner release and
the guy who was with the task I think there was a guy with I
love these guys who are also out there battling a guy with a with
a an IED belt with a fire extinguisher to very heroic, but
the guy with the task was also out on some special programme
for killing a 15 year old or something the whole thing stinks
isn't
stopping dead deconstructed. I do have one report that we could
least play for background, which is the stabbing.
Stabbing makes sense
police at work at the site of Friday's attack. One of the
victims has been named as Jack Merritt. He was attending a
conference on prison rehabilitation at the time and
250 kilometres away extensive searches at the home of the
attacker 28 year old as mankind, He served time for terror
offences but was released early subjected to an extensive list
of conditions. And it is this revelation that has stirred
debate in a country in the middle of a general election
campaign.
We want to toughen up sentences for serious and violent
offences. And I've said for a long time now that I think the
practice of automatic early release where you cut a sentence
in half and let really serious violent offenders out early
simply isn't working. And I think you've had some very good
evidence of how that isn't working. I'm afraid with this
case.
I think we need to look at what happens in the in the prisons,
what happens with the probation service, and what happens with
the role of the parole board in this and make sure that the
sentences are appropriate. But above all, is what happens
inside the prison if prisons continue to be understaffed,
overcrowded, and a lot of prisoners not being properly
supervised. And I think there is a danger to everybody in the
future. In a
correction it wasn't the guy with the Tosca was a different
guy, James Ford.
Now a couple of funny things here. And let's just go to the
conspiracy side. This was all staged. Now there was some good
buddy that was stabbed and he probably wasn't staged, but
let's just say if it was staged, here's the some elements. I
thought that
Yes. Okay. I haven't Alamance Ross. Yes. Okay.
Some guy in the middle of the bridge has got a norwall Tusk
which I'd never heard of before in my life. I'd never heard the
term norwall Never heard it.
Nor was like a giant sea otter. It's like a sea lion kind of
animals like a big giant one a big thing. And apparently it's a
tooth that grows into a tusk and a stick straight and you can
stab things with it. But this guy's got this thing, which
apparently was at some fish with fishmongers Hall on the wall
grabbed off the wall,
which is tasty, which is what I think I do too. Like, oh, let me
think of a weapon. There we go.
So let me grab this norwall tusk and rundown out of the Brooklyn
Bridge and have this thing and be poking him with it. A little
suspicious they did go through all that trouble. Would have
been very interesting. Another guy's got a fire extinguisher
where I don't know where he loved this thing from.
That was my favourite.
He loves his fire essentially spraying that guy was great. I
think he caught them in the head with it which is typical of if
you have a fire extinguisher and you can do a head shot with it
you'll knock the guy out. Yeah. So there's some cops show up.
And the guy is pretty much subdued it seems to me and they
just take into the ground, but they said clear away and the
cops put four slugs in To him
yeah this was the part that I especially when you're doing it
at close range and why I mean you're afraid he's going to blow
himself up and then you're going to shoot in the area shoot from
that angle and
yes angle as well Yeah.
If you're going to take this to like to conspiracy say wouldn't
it be possible if this whole thing was staged in these these
boneheads had to be getting out of there who knows about the guy
with a tusk? I don't know about that. But the the whole thing
could have been, you know, just kind of cracker shit. And he was
carrying a fake bomb vest.
Well, stop. Here is the most annoying part of this. When the
story broke, everybody was not reporting a fake bomb vest. It
was reported as a hoax bomb vest, which means something very
different. Fake versus hoax is not the same thing and why why
were they saying hoax hoax hoax
monochromators code? The guy's got a fake bombas is it possible
that the fake hoax vote bomb this was actually a bulletproof
vest?
Very likely.
They're a good one not as you know a Kevlar. You're one of
those kinds that they use in battle. But you could cover that
up with some fake bombs. And so you pump the four bullets
carefully into the bulletproof vest and hold the guy off
i like it job well done.
I like it. But But that's why I think the term hoax was code
Yeah, could be
let me just see if it was the BBC as well who were reporting
that Let's see.
USA Today hoax Telegraph reported as hoax New York Times
as hoax and then that that kind of went away. But to me it was
I've never heard that reported as a hoax. Because a hoax means
intentionally tricking people. But well actually, what is the
difference between hoax and fake?
Will have fake bomb this is just a fake. It's just objectively
what it is a hoax bomb. This would be one in participants.
I'm sorry.
Well, hoax. The actual definition is a humorous or
malicious deception. So if it was hoax, the guy meant it as a
joke.
No malicious.
That wasn't the term that wasn't
no malicious deception. You just read the definitions in there.
Okay, now humorous or malicious?
Malicious. Yeah, right militias. Okay, well, I just found that to
be odd. And I like your theory, though. None of it made sense.
It made zero sense to be shooting the guy from what was
it? Maybe four feet? Right there, boom, boom, boom. And,
and maybe as you say it, it was too, you know, there had to be
some kind of I mean, that would really hurt if you hit someone
even when the vest from that distance. But you want to aim
perfectly at the vest. So maybe that's why it was so close. But
regardless, very convenient for the election. And let's just put
that out there. Whether it was real or not

We've got Oh 1161 Not bad almost as high as our episode number.
Fantastic.
Oh, that's gonna be cool. We hit episode and trolls
patrol. We are at a patrol 1195 today but no agenda stream.com
is a good spot to go hang out. I did also want to promote
animated no agenda, which you can find in the show notes as a
link to it direct to the YouTube or just putting your search
engine animated no agenda. The magic number is the most recent
episode. Fantastic job by Jennifer once again. Also a big
in the morning to our artists for episode 11 94 a Thanksgiving
special so that artists can actually say that he was the the
the artist for the no agenda Thanksgiving Day special 2019
and Darren Darren O'Neill did it it was perfect. It pops like
crazy it was the no agenda turkey with the Epstein didn't
kill himself on his on his chest. Everything about it was
perfect for our Thanksgiving special. I really liked it. And
it worked. Well, you could be a little more positive just it
worked. It was like good job. Darrin
popped it popped. It was good. It was the it was the clear
winner of the group
that no agenda art generator.com is where you can find all of
this and where you can create an account hopefully if it works
and upload some yourself we always look forward to right
after the show to see what everybody has done. It's kind of
the desert for our no agenda meal twice a week on Thursdays.
So let's thank a few people starting with Anonymous Duke
executive producer 56789 from Michigan says no location by
Michigan is good enough. I've been donating anonymously since
2011. zoom past Duke status sometimes years ago. We Whoo.
Thank you boomers for all that you do love and light for
curries, dad, Happy Thanksgiving, and such a day
late but not $1 Short shout out to GROW AMERICA and Moe facts
and no agenda social. The book Dark Alliance by Gary Webb, as
long as hell is this long is long as hell but it's so good.
Adam and Moe brought it up on Episode Four.
Not that I can remember years ago. Yes.
All right. Yeah, Gary Webb was the guy who broke the story
about the Iran Contra scam going on with the CIA. That's right
brought it I broke it out of the San Jose Mercury News. Yeah,
they got pushed back from the government even though the story
was completely true and everybody knew it, but he got
pushed back. He ended up getting fired for being a bad
journalist. Ended up going you know, living out his life and I
think then killed in Sacramento and it was like, you know, this
is a good example of the good doing good work
to to the head gun in the left hand.
A lot of it had to do with the fact that he was working for
corporate media. So we don't do that. Andrew Brewer. Yeah, and
you can thank Knight Ridder for the whole thing. Good work boys.
Andrew brewer in Winston Salem, North Carolina. $500 ITM
gentlemen, and thank you for your courage. JCD mentioned
patterns on the perfect Thanksgiving show. He thought
the Thanksgiving show was perfect. A lot of people like
that show. Yeah. It got me thinking about my donations to
the best podcast and to realise that I give some value for value
every 300 episodes are socialist the beginning of the no agenda
show which means it is time to chip in again during which
during these breaking bombshell beginning of the end times the
donation finally catapults me to knighthood after all these years
of normal immaculate development nice sham bursts and and dark
chocolates. Were a perfect addition to the round table.
What is that? Chambourcin would you look it up
and then add it?
I've already ordered it but I figured I mean, I don't know
what I don't know what it looks like. I don't know if I'm going
to put it in front of the right seat.
Could be gobbly goo for all you know where I would like to sit
as the SIR sat savour sabar savour, Sabo, I don't know, save
or have the Yadkin Valley grapes in recognition of a surprisingly
spectacular vintage being produced in the region.
This is a wine you should this is grape. You should know this.
I should know it but I don't know where she had kin Valley. I
don't know that either. You have a couple of Yadkin Valley. How
do you spell it YADK I N Yadkin? Yet a Adkin. North Carolina. Oh,
it's a North Carolina product. Oh no, it's the North Carolina.
It is I'm going to tell you on this side here I noticed is when
I first went to Bordeaux in 1973. In a lot of the vineyards
that weren't that great vineyards were every great use
worth 1000s of dollars. But in many of the small vineyards,
they had side by side growing with the grapes in Bordeaux.
This is I don't think you'd see this anymore. And I don't think
I've seen it since tobacco. Ah, so you have a villa vineyard and
a tobacco field. All in the Bordeaux area. And I've always
said well, that's interesting that you can grow tobacco, where
you grow these grapes I've always had in the back of my
mind. So I went to North Carolina, which is a tobacco
growing state and found that they were switching a lot of
these tobacco fields to grapes. And I visited a lot of wineries
there. I visited more barbecue places and wineries, I will
admit, but I went to a lot of whiners and the wind was quite
good. And it was, you know, it was made with kind of a lot of
lack of self assurance, low self esteem, you know, is this any,
you know, well, you're from California, you must know about
this. So to try this and try that and try this. And as if
everyone from California has a wine expert, and in fact a wine
was very good. And I think they can grow some good grapes up
there in North Carolina. I think eventually it would be seen as
one of the great wine growing areas of the world.
I think that tobacco has something to do with it. It's to
do with it in the earth. Very nice.
But I don't know what this Shem Borsen is. Most
important is a great from France originally. Yeah.
It's probably a good wine they're making in some of the
areas I noticed this when I was in Texas. It they kept going off
the track, but people will appreciate some of this. So I'm
in the hill country going they got a bunch of wineries there.
They're all over the place and vodka distilleries. Yes,
we have a lot of
vodka. Yep.
Yes, one of the best in the in the world. And so I went to all
these little these wineries, I didn't buy anything because it
was there for one thing, they're overpriced, and they're not that
good. But it's interesting that they've taken a liking to
growing temperature Neo outside of Austin, Texas, and every
winery made some of it and it seems to take take well to Texan
Texas. Yeah. And temper Neo is the grape this mostly grown in
Spain to make the great Rio Ha's and other wines, but it's loose.
So Texas has potential for that particular grape. Anyway,
onward. Sorry. I like everybody loves a job don't host this or
meet up at one of these more established wineries in the

health karma as I go into a deviated septum surgery on
Tuesday could use the healing power that the no agenda
community I truly believe and everyone who hears this and
thinks a happy thought makes a huge difference to my recovery
karma works people
yeah there's a lot to be said for that.
Thanks to the both of you for keeping us all see yeah that's
why the bigger audience the better thanks for the both of

work of Dr. Shaun Baker has been doing in the carnivore diet. It
has saved my life. Love and Light night Bruce. Bruce. Thank
you. And last but not least is Chris G. $200. ITM gents first
donation was hitting them out by a co worker. Hold
on, hold on first donation, we got to deduce.
You've been deemed deuced?
I am going to make it clear that I disagree with this policy.
Really? I think it has to be requested.
Okay. I'm sorry. I thought we had treated this differently in
the past. I must be remiss.
No, I don't think you did. I just don't think it's ever been
expressed. Okay. Tickets come up that often most people asked for
the D douching. And some people have said I don't want to D
douching. Because I haven't given enough money. And we
didn't d do
okay. I will I will no longer Babouche without permission is
unrequested unrequested, D douching. is off the table
okay towed by his douche de douching has been put into the
into the wild so he's been de Deus did happen. So there's
nothing we can do about it. He was hitting the mouse by a co
worker one year ago did not get much of the show at first was
interesting, but appreciated the deconstruction and humour now
Stopstopstop
did not get much of the show at first but appreciated the
deconstruction and humour what else is To show like our two,
our two main points, like let's deconstruct
interesting observation. All right, but what else is there?
What else are we doing? What is it you liked so much, please,
we'll do more of it.
Now I get it and love it requesting jobs caring for my
youngest human resource on her upcoming interview. Also goat
scream and your little girl. Yay. Thanks, Chris. G.
Absolutely. And thank you for your courage and for your
support
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. That's Volker jobs.
You know, I wonder what the mechanism is that you listen to
the show and you don't get it? And but you keep listening,
because there's something about it that you listen, there's some
reason you keep a lot of your listeners. So these guys are
nuts. They're a couple that
No, I think it goes, it goes more like this. They hit so and
this is a problem admitted it's a problem. But anyone who is
told, Hey, this is a great podcast, there is no agenda.
There's really, no they have no political agenda. But they
deconstruct the news. And it starts off with wanting to
format everybody I can understand it's jarring.
We have had that complaint early on, which we know because you
guys, and everyone was at this show is trivial. Because your
plate you started off like a morning Zoo.
Right? That's
seriously part of the problem. I thought there was reasons to do
that. And those reasons, reasons are still valid.
Yes, they're valid. But you know, then I'm also always
amazed when we do 14 minutes of talk about Linux, mint distros.
And people still show up. And actually a lot of them
appreciated our biannual Linux talk.
Well, I said at the time after the show, I said to you, I'll
bet you some people will check out this ultimate Linux 19. And
they will get back to me and say, That's really, I'm glad you
told us about that. And guess what happened?
Well, nothing, nobody.
I got well, I got a lot of email. A lot of you know, of
course, a lot of it is well, you know, that's downstream three
levels, you don't want that you want Arch Linux. That's what the
bad boys. So there's a lot of that. But it's appreciated.
Because I couldn't know there aren't some questions that I had
and people answered. But anyway, the point being, at what point
is it and maybe people could email us this what? you'd listen
to it, you probably didn't get it right away? What was it? That
was either holding you back? Or what was the that that made?
Click? Because I think there's I think you're right, there's
there's something that happens that people say, Oh, I see. And
I don't know what it is 12 years here, this is this. I've held
this job down longer than any job have ever done in my entire
life that just want you to realise that almost three times
as long as any job I've had.
And it's a job. It's the actual job for six hours a week, which
is non trivial for generally broadcasters talk for
the talking part. That's forget, forget the rest.
I mean, it's talking, talking, talking. Yeah, it's interesting.
There's no doubt about it as some there's something magical.
Well, magical, for sure. And a lot of that magic is directly
attributable to the people we just heard from our executive
producers and Associate Executive producers for this
episode 1195 of the no agenda show, because it is your
podcast. That's the big difference that we put in we
don't have listeners, we have producers and then everybody
else and of course you start to call these people douchebags
that was that's on you, but that's what producers get to do.
That's the big difference. That's why it's working. And
we'll be thanking more of these fine folks in our second half
hour second donation segment. But for this please recognise
that these credits are valuable and you can use them in places
that can do good for you including putting them in your
LinkedIn description. And if you are so inclined if you would
like to be an Executive Associate Executive Producer of
no agenda show 1196 Please go to vorak.org/n A and I promise you
no more mid Linux talk of this show.
Our formula is this. We go out for yet people in the mouth
Hey, I do want to, I had to back you off on that because I do
have to say one more thing. Oh, about Linux, about this Mint
Linux ultimate. So I'm really you're really going to do this,
okay? Just because I forgot to do it last time. So I've got
this Mint Linux, and I'm just playing around with it. And so I
type a document or you know, Libre Office document. I said,
What happens if I go to the printer? So I hit print,
it worked right away.
It worked right away. I know. I didn't have to go find a
printer. I had to load any drivers. It's Epson printers,
the next p 950. It was just worked. And I was that was what
stunned me the most.
Okay, well, since you brought it up it and now I too, am still on
Ubuntu. I'm very happy. Give me Yes. Now the only not about
anything about Linux. But I was thinking that and maybe maybe
this does exist, maybe I'm so out of touch. But when I was
growing up, we had classes in school, we had woodworking, we
had shop, we had to home economics, which meant cooking
and stuff. There should be a class and maybe there is I would
just call it a tech or technology class. And you enter
this class, you're given a laptop, and a CD. And you're
told, okay, you're going to create the perfect computer for
you. And you're going to learn how to do that in this class.
And of course, you know, it starts with choosing a distro of
Linux. And then customising it. Because the more I realise how
incredibly shackled I was by the two predominant operating
systems and Linux is not finally at a place where I can actually
use it. And I'm not saying this lightly. I've tried many, many
times over the past years. And in fact, I would say the way to
do it is just get your virtual box for free and try it because
you can't break anything and have to boot anything on your
drive. And it'll work just fine, at least for testing, and
probably even better than that. But we shouldn't be teaching
kids the actual basics of how this stuff works, because
they're dealing with it in their everyday life. And you know,
when I look at a smartphone, I can see all the things that are
taking place and how it comes to how the information eventually,
the end always comes back onto my screen. And there's
tremendous benefit to that. There's tremendous benefit to
the creativity you'll have in the future if you really
understand how things work. But this is not being taught and the
only way to learn it. And boy is Linux a great, great way to
learn how this stuff works, because you actually have to get
your hands dirty to make it work. It's just a thought maybe
it exists, maybe classes doing this,
I would have heard of it. Well, in fact, what you said which is
the same when I was a kid, they had woodshop they had metal
shop, they had auto shop. Yeah, auto shop. Sure. And all the
kids would learn how to tune cars and do whatever you want to
do. And they had Home Home Economics, right. And it was, it
was a room full of
ovens. Now the problem is, while I'm saying this, but of course
we're about 30 years too late because Apple and Microsoft and
now Google with Chrome OS have completely swamped the
educational system and are eating your children alive,
literally. Because you are a slave to how they want you to do
things. Just try and instal windows 10 Out of the box these
days, they try to suck you into creating an online account with
Microsoft no matter what you try
to take this computer shop class and actually extended so you
actually build your own box. That's what that's what I just
said. Well, you said take a laptop. You gave him a laptop.
You give them
a cup. Oh, you mean the actual bill? Okay, yeah, why not? Yeah,
yes. GPU.
No. How about just a Raspberry Pi? This is fantastic. It's an
option but I'd like to see a real computer commodity Yeah,
but
you're the old school
well, Raspberry Pi and those little nude Nick things and some
of these little devices also fun. Yeah, Arduinos or whatever
the hell they're called.
Let them strap stuff onto it and learn learn about this stuff.
They teach none of this for Christmas, please for Christmas.
Give your child one of these Raspberry Pi's startup kits for
kids. You will not regret it. Maybe you will. But anyway, I
think that we're this whole idea of learn to code now. You've got
to understand how this stuff works make it work for you learn
to code is a scam of course it's a scam. Cornwell a scam? It's Do
you want to be an obedient tech worker? Do you want to be the
next genius to wear a turtleneck?
So we're we're talking about Brexit a minute ago, I do have
this little sub clip. Because we've talked about this on the
show. We've always been baffled by it. I was baffled by it.
We're very friends in England they,
yes, I know exactly what this is about. This is about the leaked
documents, isn't it?
Well, this is in this case, that clip is a very short one, but
it's a WTF clip. Yeah, I play it.
Jeremy Corbyn also says he's obtained documents that reveal
Britain's National Health Service could be up for sale and
a post Brexit trade deal with the United States.
Yeah, this is the big scandal, apparently a trade document
between the US and the UK leaks out. And, and that's where they
and we already heard this rumour, like they're selling out
the National Health System a year ago.
Yeah.
So of course it is selling out to the NHS. Trump's gonna take
it over?
Well, no, it has to do with the pharmaceutical industry. And
they feel like it's not advantageous. I do not know
what's going on, but it is not advantageous for the UK
according to the to the socialists. Yeah. Well, while
we're on this topic of trade and dirty dealings and big industry,
I had a little bit of a chance to go back and look at some of
the vaping roundtable that the President had, you know, he was
about to sign a document that kind of or some or some
regulation was going to effect I don't think there was a law per
se but of course they do want a law to ban the flavoured vape
liquids because Oh, it's how the children how they how they're
getting addicted to nicotine, all of this on the heels of the
great vaping disaster of people dying from vaping went away
pretty quick as you can tell adult we cured it I guess
somehow. And only in America no one died anywhere else they
don't vape vape in China don't vape in Europe don't vape in the
UK but the only died here and the first sightings in North
Carolina of the i cos store already popping up.
That's Oh, detest market, North Carolina.
Well, very important, important because this is still all about
tobacco. And the reason the vape industry. I'm just going to
recap for people who haven't been along for the ride. The
vape industry was kneecapped, that's a good one. kneecapped
because the tobacco industry which is quite big in billions
of dollars terms makes no money on nicotine they need to sell
leaf they need to sell the plant they need to sell tobacco that
is necessary to generate revenue the states need to get that
revenue because they've already written bonds against it that
revenue is taxes but it's also for deaths there's extra special
money that the tobacco companies pay they're trying to get to the
nicotine to be taxed but that's really not what it's about. It
is big tobacco beating down the innovators beating down the
little man who just wants to inhale water vapour and here's
what Romney at the round table Romney all of a sudden Romney's
in the room with Trump and he's got a big mouth yeah.
Mango in September 2018 and youth use ropes here's the
number one most popular product on the market flavours aren't
they are attracted to your kids?
How about the children? Yes sir.
We've got almost 6 million kids addicted to nicotine and that's
and they're getting addicted to nicotine because of flavours 66%
of the kids addicted to these products are saying they didn't
even know it had nicotine in it. They thought it was just a candy
type product it's it's the flavour of the strong the kids
and it's a health emergency I salute the fact that jewel has
said we're taking these products off the market because we care
about our kids the kids and the adults and the adults have
access the adults have access to mental products through jewel
they have a tobacco flavour products and they started
putting out putting out cotton candy flavour and and what is it
unicorn poop flavour this is this is kid product.
This is kid product it's horrible. The children this is
no good because children are getting addicted nicotine that
flavours. This is just nasty. Why did Romney's firm Bain
Capital do in the past? Let me think
an explosive new report by the Huffington Post sheds new light
on Romney's time at Bain and Company, the Boston Consulting
firm. It describes how the firm made millions on Big Tobacco by
helping Philip Morris increase its revenues in the US and
aiding to other tobacco Titans to dominate the Russian market.
Romney's consultants helped fall foreign firms and aspiring
oligarchs decide how to quarrel Russia's riches, including
writing an official manual that outlined how best to navigate
the process. At the same time, Bain leveraged its contacts with
senior Russian officials to arrange sweetheart deals for its
tobacco clients.
Of course, he's always been a shill for Big Tobacco and he's
in the room as a set Senator Schilling for his former
clients. I'm I'm somewhat outraged
Oh, you are not outraged you know you're Spectres from that
guy's a douchebag
Yes, let me do shall let's
let's do one thing in there I just kind of chuckled about
which was he said the kid 66% of the kids yeah. Smoking these
things these vape vape and didn't even know there was
nicotine involved 60s You know it but daddy's kids no nicotine
is involved. That's why they're doing it
and then he goes, I am I applaud jewel art is dumb. And I applaud
jewel for for taking the flavours off the market. He's in
cahoots with jewel, the whole idea was to strangle jewel to
buy them and smother that shit into the ground so we can bring
our new smokeless tobacco, I qua smokeless tobacco, come into a
store near you people kids will love it. Oh, they're gonna ram
it down everybody's throats. Oh, see I errantly John apparently
may be
a comeback to the vape
apparently. Well, okay, so first of all, apparently, people who
have vaped and have smoked love the i cos it is apparently a
great hit. So so that I don't, I don't know, either. I'm just
telling you what I've heard. So the product is supposed to be
good.
But but then it could be propaganda you're hearing but
listen, and
look, here's the deal. Here's the deal. Trump was about to
sign some kind of regulation or legislation. He stopped and
said, Well, hold on. We need and there was after this meeting, we
need to think of you know why? Because he hates Romney so much.
He sees it. He sees what's going on. He's like, I'm not gonna
give this to you. Romney. I'm not gonna give this vaping
I'm pretty sure you might be right. Of course. Of course.
Now, she doesn't like Romney. Romney is pretty much of a
flying bars. slimeball you slime
swarm me.
And you know, he's in with the tobacco guys, and he's a Mormon
and they should be doing everyday to stop all tobacco
products. So that doesn't make any sense. We look at Yes, it's
like a, it's like the drug dealer who refuses to use the
drugs he sells. Yeah, I hate drugs. These drugs are terrible.
Would you like to buy?
Exactly, exactly. Since we've already joked about it several
times, I do have a couple of dropped T clips that I wanted to
share. Now, this was from a recent protest in Greenville.
Earlier this week, problem which I will say that I believe
feminine hygiene products should have a lower or no tax rate. I'm
all for that. You know, this, this really the cost of the
feminine hygiene products are are an outrage. And I feel bad
that women have this the secret tax really just a tax on their
life. But okay, men have other things. But there's the
pronunciation issue which came into play in this clip three
quarters of women think that tampon tax should be a thing of
the past with 67% of them saying it's a form of sexism. One poll
conducted a study of 2000 women who have had periods on behalf
of antamina. And it's not just financially where women feel
like they're cheated three and five women said their school sex
ed class did not prepare them for their periods. And they're
not here for the stigma surrounding menstruation with
37% saying talking about it is still taboo. In fact, a quarter
said they've seen or heard someone say women shouldn't come
to work when they're on their period. Somewhat surprisingly,
women 18 to 24 were most likely to think society still sees it
as quote, shameful, according to the intermedia study, and it
affects the way women talk about menstruation too, with more than
half saying they're more comfortable using a euphemism
like, quote monthly visitor when discussing it. So even though
eight and 10 women said discussing menstruation openly
and honestly is important, it seems we have a ways to go.
Finally that I'm like, was this the right clip? Is this
important? Right, here's, here's the here's one from a Trump
rally. Why are you so fired up to support Trump?
I'm a big Trump supporter. I didn't really get into voting
until Trump became president in 2016. And I'm just excited to be
my first rally. I just wanted to come out and support him. I'm
really everything he's doing and hopefully he's able to keep it
up for more years.
Support him it's support him. Yeah. So it's partially it
sounds partially like there's a southern thing to it. There's
also a British thing I think the love Island UK has has not been
helpful. And I had a clip Oh no I don't know what happened to it
this is kind of unfortunate I had a clip from South Park from
1998 Let me just see what the heck happened to this yeah do
another one of my great setups John
Yeah you should have this clip lined up before you know well i
soliloquy
I have here's the thing I have the whole I've everything opened
up I'm ready to Oh, it's like my like a running gag on the show.
Now it's not even that funny.
I've done it a couple of times. I really am pissed at myself.
Oh, my favourite one is where I have this great clip I want to
play and somehow I miss edited it or you have like did last
three seconds.
That's the best way to go. But man, okay, well, and then I have
the CNN that was my kind of my pay off going into law go into
this bit then. Dammit. South Park apparently had an episode
in 1998. Where, where this was discussed. I'll look for that
when we play this clip, which is from the Netflix special. The
keeper and I watched yesterday the day before. It was at Mike
Birbiglia. He's a comedian. And he all of a sudden he rolls into
this bit. That is something that we really have taken issue with
on this show and it shows up in donation notes all the time
instructor was
like what's the most exciting thing about having a baby which
is a new thing for us where they don't say da baby they're just
like we were like we just want baby to live we don't we don't
have high hopes for this thing because we went to hospital and
we spoke with doctor she did test and it's touching go at
moment and that
that's good. So I found the clip, but for some reason it
doesn't show up in my let me see if I can play it directly from
the drive. I knew I hadn't forgotten it. Will it play? Yes,
here we go. South Park 1998
Hello, children. My name is Dr. Adams. Welcome to the planet
Areum I thought it was planetarium. Well it is. But I
have a bone disease which impedes my ability to pronounce
the T and planet area. That's a pretty weird bone disease. Yes,
perhaps someday I can get a bone marrow transplant.
So they weren't doing it back then. Yeah.
Well, it's I think it's been getting stalled. I mean, you
listen to these linguists that guy berated us they think is
some sort of a trend but I don't know that it's a trend any more
than saying university or thinking about that do they? Oh,
I went to university Yeah. You can say went to college. You say
I went to the University IV but I'm in the University I'm not in
the call you can say I'm in college and certain situation
most of the time I by the guy he went to college. He went to
university it should be the same I why I'm so upset about this
misuse as
well. There's one other minor gripe that I have that I'm
hearing more and more is anyways, I'm sick. I love
anyway.
You love it. Second to Anywho.
And but anyways, it said with sincerity not as any who was
alright, well, fine,
is mocking but you know, talking about bad language, talking
about people that kind of talk funny out of class. Let's talk
about Joe Biden. Oh.
This is clip of the century I had to go back. This has got to
be a deep fake. This can't this cannot be true. It could be
a deep fake. I thought about this too, because I don't know.
There's no real documentation for this, but it's been going
around. And it's the kind of thing he would do.
Yeah, well,
what did you see? There's a clinic running around of him
being introduced on the stage and this old woman has her hands
out and then he nips at her finger.
That's his wife.
Is it
Is that his wife? Oh is Jill Well, whatever the
case is, she's standing there she's throwing her arm out it's
almost like a comedy act where she she says and then we get Mr.
Bite and she puts her hand out in the air right in front of his
face like like somebody in a in a cheap Benny Hill skit.
Oh if it's his wife then it's okay then whatever. I think it
is still kind of odd. The whole thing
was funny but it was funny but you know you gave give the guys
some your with this particular clip here, which we should play
is the worst.
Your I saw. That made me aware when I was in law school proudly
for Holloway proudly for your dad, first African American
state senator in the State of the State of Delaware.
Everything about And by the way, you know, I sit on the stand and
it get hot I got like I got hairy legs that turn that that
turn blonde in the sun. And the kid used to come up and reach in
the pool and rub my leg down. So it was training that watch the
hair come back up again. They look at it. So I learned about
roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I'd love
kids jumping on my lap. And I tell you what, the man there now
all men the guys I worked with down here and they're all guys
at the time. They're all good men. Most of them made an awful
lot of themselves and our Olark and had a rough time you some of
you knew Earl I defy came back as a public defender
is rambles like this now this could be a deep fake and it
wouldn't surprise me well I've seen it could but it's one of
those things that's believable.
Well yeah, I've seen full length versions of this and it's part
of his corn pop speech which is why it's surprising and it's
only showing up now because this was part of the corn pop in the
end the chain and whip his ass
good get icop
Of course okay I'm putting it right into the ISO slot already
knowing it's gonna win got hairy legs yeah beautiful.
Wait a minute I have an ISO from the New Orleans thing to that
which I sent his late clips which is today was the breaking
news there had a shooting in New Orleans. I play the ISO from
that that that clip.
Wait. Oh, New Orleans. Yes. Here we go. Please no, do not drink
and drive. No.
Kidding me. Hairy legs, beats drinkin and drive in any old day
got hairy legs. Yeah, yeah. Terry. Oh, yeah.
Back to Biden. We do have a Biden campaign. Run down for on
it off of NBC, which we should play. And it's got a little
Kamla Harris thing at the end which I want to comment on are
investigating
the motive. Now presidential candidates are back on the road
criss crossing the country. Among them. Joe Biden hoping to
make a splash with a big push in Iowa. Here's Kelly O'Donnell.
Today in Iowa, the Joe Biden campaign bus on an eight day 18
County tour of the first caucus state trying to rev up his
lagging poll numbers, beginning in Council Bluffs,
I promise you, I promise you. We're going to win this race.
His new ride branded in Biden speak as the No malarkey tour.
He says to contrast President Trump
is because the other guys all wise
Many but not old, democratic hopefuls hitting the trail
across the country, with stakes high for early state voters.
anything anyone says could make or break what I feel about them
as candidates.
I haven't committed yet. But we have so many candidates running
also in Iowa today, Kamala Harris, at a Des Moines house
party,
we have the ability to unlock the promise of our country. We
have the ability.
This is the she's never said anything of substance. We have
the ability to unlock the promise, whatever that is of our
country. But what does that mean and be why didn't know Obama do
it? He was in there for eight years.
At a de Moines we have the ability to unlock the promise of
our country. Yeah, I mean, they gave Obama the key. We have the
ability
to unlock what is the promise of our country that needs to be
unlocked. While Harris
has done for I'm sure you heard saw the the resignation letter
from one of her her campaign. She resigned saying the
leadership's not there I think she bolted to when she go to she
go to Buda judge, she went to someone else's campaign. Think
Buddha judge Oh yeah, it's a mess over there. It's a total
mess. Kamla Harris cannot organise her own campaign. She's
no good. She's just no good. We knew it. She had a pretty face.
You know, the HA HA she kind of the Hillary wave and it fell
apart. And I think Tulsi Gabbard for ripping that apart within
the board that debate too, or is it the first one
that was always debate too?
Yes, she she that's what Tulsi Gabbard brought down Kamla
Harris,
because Camela went after Biden for not being a good for being a
racist or something. And she really went after him hard and
it was unexpected because everyone was really happy with
each other. So then the next debate Tulsi goes after her. And
everyone's like, Oh, that somebody's doing it. You know,
I'm glad somebody's going after her, um, Biden was probably very
happy. And the end defectors the end of Camela, the defector
went to Bloomberg. So she went to Bloomberg campaign, cameras
campaign is falling apart. But there was some interesting news,
the New York Times about a group, a dark money group, with
70 with a $75 million ad campaign. The group's name is
acronym. And they also have a problem. Now, that's a 501 C
three corporation. So we do not actually know who the donors
are. So we don't know who's providing the 75 million. But
they also have a political action committee, which is a
501. C four company called PAC Cronin. And we do know some of
those donors, but everyone's trying to figure out who's put
the 75 million together, which is going to be spent
specifically on winning seats and elections for Democrats. So
So for local elections for state elections, then they claim on
their in the out their acronym website, another acronym.org.
They claim that they have all that they're already had been
responsible for 65 Democrats winning elections in the past, I
think year or two, whatever they say here. So we're not quite
sure. So shadowy group, very shadowy, but we do know because
of the pack acronym. They do have to publish their donors.
And I'll tell you 2 million came from the National Democratic
Redistricting Committee. That's a political nonprofit, run by
Eric Holder. Obama's first the Attorney General $300,000. From
Dollar Shave Club. See, what else? Well, the fun to hear the
list news web corporation 1.5 million. Fred I chainer. Do you
know him? Yeah. United Food and Commercial Workers Union 1.3
million at the top 2.6 million is Soros Fund Management. So you
kind of get the idea who's probably in on this big? Yeah, I
did hate to start off with them every time. But I did pull a
couple of these ads. And I think they're worth discussing because
I find them to be highly racist. So the idea is these ads are
supposed to get you to knock the vote knock the dot vote, and to
get Democrats out and voting but not just any old Democrats. No,
no. This is the white Democrats because you guys are dumb. We
start with the scene. Two children with a lemonade stand
in front of their house black man comes along would you like
lemonade?
Would you like another two years of the you got a permit for
that? You guys voting this November? I'm sorry. We're
actually quite busy right now. But can I get you a gluten free
cookie?
Or maybe some?
Hello 911. I'd like to report a suburban educated white woman
out here. Some eliminate her kids they talked about they're
not voting. I needed to get down here and investigate because
this is ridiculous. And can you hurry please, I feel threatened.
Sort of the rest of black America.
I thought there's a lot of powerful stuff in this. There's
a white, a white woman who doesn't want to vote. And I'm I
feel threatened and so does the rest of black America. Next
commercial three. Clearly,
you're supposed to impress somebody or get them to think
other than the fact this is like a douchebag operation.
Well, let's continue and we'll we'll decide I've only picked
three of the series is quite a few of them. And he's
professionally produced, by the way. Another 32nd we see three
young women white with Lululemon Zhan in the park posing for
selfies in the traditional manner you would see black man
walks by Oh, excuse me.
Have y'all made plans to vote November? No. Number one, I like
to report an emergency and apart three white women just taking
selfies triple selfie and progress using filters emojis
the same pitch over and over again wearing pyjamas and they
literally have no plans of voting in November.
Excuse me. That's not illegal.
Please hurry, like smell an avocado toast.
So just be very clear. It is black guy calling out the white
women. But they also do some ageism, which is kind of cool.
What you'll see here is that All boomers all in their I would say
70s These faces are close up beautifully shot and very nice,
beautiful characteristic faces of people. Yeah, but that's a 65
to 75 year old range but close up looking right into the
camera. Dear young people don't vote.
Everything's fine the way it is Trump. That was us. He's our
guy. tax cuts for the rich. Hell yeah.
Fuck climate change. That's a you problem. I'll be dead soon.
Sure school shootings are sad. I haven't been in a school for 50
years can keep track of which lives matter. To you know, like
yourself. You'll like some meme on Instagram.
If the weather is nice. Maybe you could go to one of those
little marches. You might even
share this video on Facebook.
New young people never do
what I do. I do. I do. midterms, primaries, every single election
will be there. About you. Oh, it's because we're a generation
of doers. whiners? We're doing great.
very ominous music at all. Yeah,
I liked one line in there. The woman for one thing they make
themselves sound senile, which is meat probably not going to
vote but that's okay. But the woman says I can't even keep
track of what lives matter.
Well, it's very aggressive at 75 million is not going to get you
very far. But it's a valiant effort. And creatively as I
think they're pretty funny, I mean, racist, ageist, everything
you do, you'd expect
everything the Democrats play and,
and a couple more things here. Nate Silver, the 538 media, the
genius the statistician that everybody is all giddy about who
once upon a time he completely
missed the entire Donald Trump phenomenon. He says on the
tweeters keep in mind that the subtext held may be just the
text of the Bloomberg campaign used to facilitate a brokered
convention. It's not competing in the early states. Instead,
it's hoping for a chaotic outcome there. Then it hopes to
have a brokered convention. Now, we've posited this ourselves
posited, we did. And that still could be and it could be in
combination that Bloomberg is in there to pave the way for the
swoop. I don't know it could be getting ready for the Hillary
swoop. It seems like something is kind of up with Hillary now.
If if there was if there is an inkling of her re entering the
race, every television and media organisation is going to be
somewhat careful with disparaging her since she will
hold purse strings. If she swoops in she'll have a lot of
money to spend and the political season is when mainstream media
makes their money. It's bigger than Christmas is a lot bigger
than Christmas. They it's Christmas every two years or
four years for your market and election appropriately. And Fox
News is clearly feeling something is possible they had
Anna Paulina on she's from turning point USA. So these are
very anti leftist people, anti Democrats specifically, this is
just a kind of a chopped up version of what happened
recently when she said something about Hillary Clinton and then
listen to what the Fox News hosts says, of course,
she should be investigated. There's plenty of evidence that
Hillary obstructed justice by destroying evidence in a gross
and massive way. Joining us now Anna Paulina, Director of
Hispanic engagement at Turning Point USA, and Doug Schoen Fox
News contributor and former pollster for President Bill
Clinton. Good morning to you both Thanksgiving. think it's
only fair. I'm all for starting a Clinton investigation. I'm
just amazed that with everything going on in the world, we still
have Hillary Clinton in the headlines. Well, she's she's
come back.
She's like herpes.
Okay, that's news that we're breaking here. We're gonna we're
gonna wrap this segment a little early dive because some of the
language that was used in this segment we apologise to our
viewers for that.
So because the girl says Hillary Clinton won't go away like
herpes, they cut the segments short, throw her off completely.
And then in the next hour,
we want to reiterate that we do not condone the language that
Anna Polina just displayed here, and we apologise to Secretary
Clinton for that Fox News does not condone condone her
sentiments.
This is the strongest evidence we've ever had that she's coming
back into the race when Fox is sucking up to her for that
silly crap Clip of the Day.
Oh, well, thank you. I agree with you clip
that was a great catch.
Well, especially the second one the second one.
It has a one two punch is obviously not a just one good
clip. But it was part of us of a calm process. Calm, calm. So she
says she won't go away. She like herpes. She won't go away, which
is I don't know is that it's not even a funny show off collar.
It's like 1980s Paul Provenza material. Yeah, it's not about
my comedy reference.
Yeah, I don't even get that. But you know, it's like a bad penny.
She could have said or whatever. Doesn't make any sense anymore.
It's archaic.
Like bad Mexican lunch. Oh, that would be racist. I'm sorry.
Like herpes, it keeps coming
back like bad Mexican. But
I mean, I would have said, well, that's, I mean, there's a lot of
ways to handle that. But it's not obscene.
Well, they, they thought it was really inappropriate. So Hillary
is still being protected even by Fox. Buda, Judge Fox Fox is
really hooded judge Mary Pete got a huge hit job from from the
root cause of course we know the problem with the with the
elections in general the the black American vote the black
vote is what's going to make this happen and the fight is on
now with with blacks for Trump and you know the wall who
actually has the blacks and the with the Democrats and Mary Pete
No guts, but but slammed by the route. The article was really
related to me it was it was a total hit job was something that
Buddha judge had said in 2012 or 2013. And Michael, Harriet from
the route had said, Pete Buddha judge lies like an MF er, I
won't say the word because we try not to use that on the show.
So this warranted a quick explanation on the joy read
show, which is always fun to have two black people talking
about a white guy who can't attract black people. It's just
a beautiful fest over there that MSNBC
after Michael Harriet of the route penned a scathing response
to comments that Buddha judge made back in 2011, about black
children and education, and a roundtable interview with no
people of colour president, President Buda judge opined that
kids in minority neighbourhoods haven't seen the education
system work and they lack role models who can personally
testify to the value of education, Harriet's response
was scathing, he wrote that Buddha judge knowingly failed to
address the structural and institutional factors which
create education inequality, instead placing the blame on the
black community itself. A kind of Paul Ryan is culture
critique. Buda judge, to his credit responded to the trending
piece by calling Harriet to have a discussion. But the article
landed right in the middle of a larger problem for the young
mayor, who's become a media favourite and boasts growing
support from mainly older white voters in places like Iowa, but
who has struggled to gain support from black voters
without rich. It's real hard to become the Democratic nominee.
And joining me now is Michael herriott, senior writer at the
route Michael, it is great to have you on the show. Welcome.
Let's talk about this this piece that you wrote that when
everywhere I got texted by about 400 people
reach be to be honest,
I love I got texted by about 400 people, I don't think so join
everywhere I got
texted by about 400 people to reach
be to be honest, everyone in this race, and especially
someone as educated as Pete Buda judge knows why these problems
exist. And so when you the fear of black voters is that when
they get into these adults of power when they get into these
rooms, and they'll start talking about, you know, fixing the
education problem in America, this is what will happen.
They'll say, Well, you know, they need some role models, or
maybe they just need some, you know, some after school
programmes when we know, it's a problem of institutional
inequality that fits into the history of racism in America. So
when
you frame it like that, there's no white person who will be
allowed to even enter the race, because that is a hit job. It's
not. I have nothing with Mayor Pete. But what a nasty thing to
do. Pull a clip from that eight, nine years ago, and then say,
this guy's poor and it's really a shame. They want
to get this guy marginalised a little bit because of race right
now as for vice president and Cory Booker is targeting it. So
you want a black guy in there. So let's go after anyone who's a
possibility. I mean, you have the opportunity you're going to
have whoever's President nominated president is going to
be a white guy and Uh, from what we can tell is going to be
Bloomberg, it's going to be more Hillary,
and otherwise
Sanders, the white guy,
Hillary, white, gay, Hillary,
or Hillary? Well, Hillary kind of come in late. But so you want
to start moving things around a little bit to get the right vice
president candidate. So what's what do we have to have, we have
to have a candidate that's contrasty. So you could have
worn which no one wants to do her deal with her. So she's
done. But you need good have a woman Any woman would do, you
can have a gay male white guy. That's because he's actually,
you know, a minority insofar as these guys the way they think,
what their, their way of identity politics, or black guy.
So Buttigieg is a target to get out of the west and get a black
guy in this room and get maybe Cory Booker. And the idea would
be of course, you're gonna either have Biden or Sanders at
say, as the President or Biden is the front runner, although he
can be taken out or we're Bloomberg. But Biden is probably
not gonna last for years.
Well, yeah, so you're right, that and what Stacey Abrams, why
wouldn't it be her wouldn't she be?
You're the only one that's pushing this by the hamster
wheel, where she mentioned in that piece that you just run
out. She's just a swoopy as Hillary,
she's not going anywhere. Well, I
do have a nice piece to understand Mayor Bloomberg is
thinking just in case anyone was interested in him. This is from
last year. This was the IMF spring meeting 2018. This was
when FIFA guard
this is a great clip.
FIFA guard was still the ruler over there, the IMF, but she had
this little presentation where she does one on one with regard.
And she has a one on one chat on stage with Michael Bloomberg.
And they're talking about taxing people and really taxing the
poor. Because of course, no matter who's coming in,
certainly on the Democratic side, Republican side probably
as well. They're coming after you they're gonna raise taxes,
something has to happen with their system, at least with this
old thinking this elitist thinking. So here's two of the
most elitist people. I could think of Christine Lagarde and
Michael Bloomberg talking about taxing the poor slaves and
listen all the way to the end
taxes are regressive. But in this case, yes, they are. That's
the good thing about I'm
sorry, what does it actually mean? When they say taxes are
regressive.
That means that you progressive taxes means that the tax rate
goes up, right? As you get as you pay, make more and more
money, your tax goes up and increases 10% somebody up gets,
you know, 50%, that's progressive, that's progress. A
regressive is the other way around, where the where
everybody either gets taxed the same or there's no progress, or
the taxes are actually go down as you make more money.
Okay, taxes are regressive. But in this case, yes, they are.
That's the good thing about them. Because the problem is in
people that don't have a lot of money. And so higher taxes, we
should have a bigger impact on their behaviour and how they
deal with themselves. So I listened to people saying, Oh,
we don't want to tax the poor. Well, we want the poor to live
longer, so that they can get an education and enjoy life. And
that's what why you do you want to do exactly what a lot of
people say you don't want to do. The question is, do you want to
pander to those people? Or do you want to get them to live
longer? And there's just no question. If you raise taxes on
full sugary drinks, for example, they will drink less. And
there's just no question that Phil sugar drinks are one of the
major contributors to obesity and obesity is one of the major
contributors to heart disease and cancer and a variety of
other things. So it's like saying, I don't want to stop
using coal, because coal miners will go out of work, well will
lose their jobs. We have a lot of soldiers in the United States
in the US Army, but we don't want to go start a war just to
give them something to do. And that's exactly what you're
saying. When you say well, let's keep coal killing people,
because we don't want coal miners lose their jobs. The
truth of the matter is there aren't very many coal miners
left anyways, and we can find other things for them to do. But
the comparison is a life or a job or taxes or life, which do
you want to do take your poison.
So it's regressive. It is
good. Now, not just this is my favourite part. It is
regressive. It is good. So they're going to now justify
taxing poor people so they can tell them how to live their
lives. because you're stupid, and you're poor, you should want
to live longer and listen to us, which
do you want to do take your poison.
So it's regressive. It is good. There are lots of tax experts in
the room and fiscal experts, and I'm very pleased that they hear
you say that. And they all say the two things in life which are
absolutely certain one is death. The other one is tax. So you use
one to defer the other
one. That's correct. Okay. That's exactly right. Wilson,
genius. Genius. Genius genius.
This is this is essentially the king taxing the peasants Yep. To
save their lives because if they don't pay their their taxes,
these peasants will kill them. Exactly. This is this is this is
a good for you peasant. Here peasant, give us what You little
money you have there we go. And now we will say we will take the
sword away from your throat. And we will return next year to
collect more money. You have just gotten one year of extra
life.
Congratulations, stupid, poor person.

shorter or they need to be accompanied by some audio just
because people are gonna get pissed off when there's start
day you didn't read my meat so I'm going to do this one from
The Hague. This was from Robin from the dunes of The Hague last
Friday a successful first meet up in The Hague. Great location
a bit dark good pier and a good beer and nibbles. Interesting
people and interesting stories. We produce some no agenda signs
to lure our producers, but they were not sufficient. Luckily
Samuel the Beast Master wore his slave shirt and acted as a
beacon. Once in a while while chatting in the morning did also
help 12 producers showed up among the douchebags were
knights and even barons and almost barons good crowd. We had
guests from Sydney, Australia, Harlem, New York, or moved to
space. The Hague distances were not important. Most attendees
have IT related professions. There was also someone from a
National Intelligence Service, a smash cart salesman. What's a
smash cart?
I'll tell you something, by the way air at all meetups one spook
appears.
Oh yeah, you have to spot the spook. Got to play the game. And
then they're also keeping tabs making sure we're doing it.
And many of them are very conversational.
Very, very conversational. Yeah. Smash carts, salesmen, several
government and travel industry professionals. If we book our
travels through the last one, we can get cheap tickets. There you
go. Well, our inside contact saves up credits that she will
donate fully to the no agenda show. I will say it's a win win.

Climate shoutouts How old were you when When? When you
high school obviously this one I read I still said shoutouts to
my family. Oh yeah, I wasn't until college to I realised it
was chaos
all right. Do you want to roll us out with one last clip before
we do end of show mixes which are nice. I might point out some
good well by the way what was the last the last in the show
mix I think there was a song Epstein didn't kill himself a
punk rock and a classic ad style punk rock is beautiful song
written I said to you that could song is commercial are we going
to have to pay ASCAP fees but then you told me to one of our
guys
written by Sir do suffer Rob do and performed by the false
flags. Outstanding it was very good. Very very good.
Well, I've got a couple of things I've got the lot of these
I can push off but let me think of there's one here that well
let's get catch up with well I could do a riots report is three
short clips.
Well, I'm I can't do the music anymore. I'm afraid to do that
because we get pushback and complaints. So well. We
don't want to do this music just play the right way. Listen to
the right reports. Get them out of the way. This is riots in
Colombia,
right.
In Colombia anti government protesters have called for
another national strike today after talks between a protest
committee and right wing President Yvonne Duke gate
failed. Massive protests have rocked Colombia for six straight
days. Last week, hundreds of 1000s of people poured into the
streets for the largest national street Colombia has seen in
decades, four people have been killed so far, including 18 year
old student Dylan Cruz, who was shot in the head by a police
projectile.
Ouch. Riots in Chile.
In Chile, President Sebastian Pinera has sent a bill to
lawmakers that would allow military troops to be deployed
to the streets of Chile amidst ongoing anti austerity
demonstrations. This comes as Human Rights Watch has condemned
police and military brutality against anti government
protesters. At least 26 people have died in the 40 days of
Chilean protests. This is Human Rights Watch America's director
Jose Miguel Vivanco,
there are hundreds of worrying reports of excessive force on
the streets and abuse of detainees such as brutal
beatings and sexual abuse that cannot be left unpunished. It
should be quickly and vigorously investigated and punished by the
Children's
authorities. And what's your third
and the last one unfortunately is mislabeled is just under
Iran, Iran.
In Iran, videos of the Iranian security forces violence against
protesters are emerging online as Iran has partially restored
internet access, which was almost entirely blocked for over
a week. Amnesty International says over 100 people were killed
and the crackdown against demonstrations sparked by a
sharp rise in gas prices earlier this month. US sanctions against
Iran have contributed to the economic crisis. Iranian
officials now say Internet access in the country could be
curtailed indefinitely.
And here's the question for our NAMS or no agenda, amateur radio
hams operators with this going down in Iran has anyone made
contact with a ham operator from Iran? Because when the Internet
is out when the apocalypse comes don't the ham radio guys have to
stand up and save the world?
Is their job
I would like to know if anyone has actually had contact within
Iran a ham Iran a ham Rhonda him he just
was saved the whole show for that.
You mean we have a title finally?
Right now we have plenty of title so Iran a ham is good
though.
Yeah, I'm keeping it I'm gonna I'm gonna try myself see if I
can get an Iran a ham on the line. But alright, everybody
that does it. I will be travelling but we'll be here on
the box. For our Thursday show. The first Thursday of the week.
Look forward to that very much. Please remember us. Not just in
your prayers, but also at the vorak.org/na is a fun little
place to go check out to support the show, which after all is
yours. And we've got end of show mixes it's Christmas time so I'm
rolling them out. We have plenty of them. We've got Jesse Coyne
Nelson. We got Chris Wilson and a classic. From Joshua Joshua

away with 33 What they get away with wow
you know the thing is it was so well done. I didn't catch it the
first time as we point out on this show it endlessly.
33 dead in Pakistan bus collision. South Africa flood
death toll rises as government declares 33 disaster zones
33 What they get away with Robert De Niro.
It's like living in an abusive household you feel you don't
know what's going to happen next. What crazy thing is gonna
happen next what's gonna make you say what, what the hell's
going on?

33 what they get away with
Eaton profit jumps 33% and fourth quarter Guinea seeks 33%
stake in mining projects. Pub sells 333 million fewer pints
year over year, South Africa 333 rhinos lost to poaching.
This is ridiculous. Our listeners know that we're on to
this because we keep bringing it up
33 What they get away with. But when you talk about apology, I
think the one that you should really be apologising for and
the thing that you should be apologising for the 33,000
emails that you've deleted and that you acid washed.
Donald Trump has just tweeted and it's a huge one,
specifically in the context of India. Let me read that tweet
out for you if you can't read it very clearly. He says the United
States has foolishly given Pakistan more than $33 billion
in aid over the last 15 years and they have given us nothing
but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as fools.
