Gonna be World War Three. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, January 9 2020. This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode 12 109 This is no agenda.
deconstructing the Dream Team and broadcasting live from
opportunity's own 33 Here in the frontier of Austin, Texas
capital, the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
from Northern Silicon Valley where I was saying and thinking
the same thing. Go Niners and Jhansi Devorah Buzzkill.
Only guy know who chokes on his own name. John Z. Do you want to
do it over? Are you happy with your performance?
I didn't need choke on my own name. That must have been a
glitch in the in the Skype.
Oh, okay. Yeah, must have been it. Well, sorry. You go. Yes, go
for it. So do we have the final teams for the Super Bowl
finally.
Answer me. Do we?
No, we don't. Oh, today we have two games today. The
championships are the two conferences. And then winners.
Those two winners go to the Super Bowl in a couple of weeks.
Okay, so who are the possible choices just so I can call it
now and be done with it?
Oh, well, you have the San Francisco 40. Niners. Yeah. And
they're playing I don't know who they're playing because there's
really not a team that can beat them. Let me think, well,
they're playing somebody. And then you have the Kansas City
Chiefs playing the Tennessee Titans.
Okay. I think that oh, no, no,
the Niners that's where I'm looking at the chat room. The
Niners are playing the team from Green Bay Go Go packers.
Okay, so you didn't give me any information.
Okay, you got the Green Bay Packers the San Francisco 40
Niners the Kansas City Chiefs the Tennessee Titans. Those are
the four
Okay, the Titans for the win, they take it all? Why? Why
question these things I am from the future.
Normally that sort of political economic reason that you make
these selections, just just
No, no, no, no, no, I'm just guessing. Now once we get to the
final two we can do the political economic reasons. This
is just a gut feeling.
Okay, well, there'll be likely to get past Kansas City but
well, I ever know they they are. They're kind of a surprise team
to the lowest seeded of the whole foursome. It's time for an
underdog miracle they got as far as an
underdog underdog time. I would like to welcome the brand new
listeners from New York City to the no agenda family. As
we got an affiliate New York now, finally,
there was an ABC there was an important dinner last night here
in Austin. Ah, yes, this was the former New York banker. It was
his wife's birthday. And they celebrated this in the brand new
hotel in Austin the proper, which I believe several of the
attendees had invested in so this was like the investors have
a dinner at the hotel that's brand new. Can you imagine what
that was? Like?
Sounds like a lot of cigars and booze.
Now, but the the New York former banker and his wife they are it
is kind of like the welcoming committee to New York and anyone
who's who moves from New York to Austin. Yeah, they're always
told all you got to you got to hook up with those guys. And I
will say they connect everybody. And they, you know, so there may
be eight or eight couples there last night, all of them between
40 and 50. All very successful. Everyone's still working. No one
retired women to know trophy wives, and all MSNBC viewers. So
this. This was this was very entertaining
to see that.
Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. So however, I have kind of good news. What
I've noticed is that these obviously very busy people and,
you know, they're, they're just active in their businesses. They
clearly use MSNBC as a guide, as you know, as their guide through
the morass of news. Once I was kind of able to hit him in the
mouth a bit, they were all extremely surprised with the
information I had and very open to it. Actually, there was no
that's unusual. Yes. And I don't know if this is a trend. I think
it may be because people are so tired of years and years of this
bull crap in the media. And so the keeper was on the other
side, you know, of course, strategic placements. We weren't
sitting together and she was across the table. And at a
certain point, when someone next to her A gentleman said to you I
think Adam Schiff is a really good upstanding politician. That
was the funniest line of the night. And of course the keeper
like really? What? And but everybody was open to to
alternative information and once they figured out that I was the
pod father Oh, okay, well now Now everyone, of course, had to
tell me what their favourite shows were, which are pretty
much universally the daily, which is the New York Times
daily, but I understand that a lot of MSNBC is rename
it the Gailey.
MSNBC, jawed really, I'm trying to make friends here. And the
story so next to me is a young woman from New York and she's
only been in Austin a short amount of time. Huge Howard
Stern fan, say, Oh, this is an opportunity for me now at now, I
may be able to, you know, get a listener here. So well, you
know, I was I've been in New York, I lived in New York for
Bill listeners by
50. I think she may be listening 15 years. I love Stern. I said,
Urbino ever since he got the serious he has changed a little
bit. And I think the new wife Beth, I think has turned him a
little soft and changeable. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Did you hear
the interview between Howard and Hillary Clinton? I said, Well,
of course I did. That's Prime Material for our show. He says
how fantastic. So yes, it was really fantastic. And they said,
you know, she's gonna run. That was the best thing I could have
said all night. What? No, say? Yeah, absolutely. Said. It's all
in the cards. It's all set up. We've been predicting it just
like we predicted the Pope. Anyway, John, I think we have a
lot of new listeners who will be very, very surprised
to hero.
No, don't say zero. It was a, it was a really good evening. And I
And again, I have to say I love the openness. And it's to me, it
just proved that. Yeah, people just listen, you know, and oh,
one one gentleman was like Rachel Maddow, you cannot. She's
so good at the facts. I'm like, no, no.
I wouldn't say that.
I'm positive man. What?
optimist? You're an optimist. I'm
a big optimist. Exactly. That was nice. Well, I figured you
know that maybe maybe they'll learn something if they catch
one show. And we'll see him at the next dinner. At the next
birthday dinner. We'll do it all over again at the all moved to
New York. And the worst of all moved from New York to sorry,
moved to Austin. Yeah, they've all New York. Yep. From New York
from Manhattan, some in finance some healthcare some other
day run a witness protection programme. Actually, I think it
may be a form of that. It's not it's not a you know, it's very
plausible. Like, Hey, man, if it's getting a little hot and in
the city house, move on over to Austin, we'll take care of you.
No worries. Wow, no worries. Yeah. Now, these people are
still afraid of guns. They haven't seen enough of them yet.
So that's very, you know, there's some fear there.
Understandable. If you're coming from New York, I'll talk to you
next year. Get used to it. Yeah,
well, what else did you learn? You might learn some a couple of
things going on that were besides the politics of the New
York Bankers all being into MSNBC and probably all Trump
haters.
No, I don't think Well, I don't think they were this is this is
what the big thing that I learned to take away was, I
think they're just tired of if they were Trump haters, none of
it showed there was actually not a single no one said anything
that I heard the whole evening about Orange Man bad or any of
that. Truly, just like, if I had actually asked, Hey, what do
you think? Hold on, stop. I don't want us to interrupt your
flow. But is it possible that what you are witnessing is a
bunch of very satisfied folks that weren't going to be bashing
on Trump? Because they know he's done? He's gone? He's through?
No, no, in fact, I don't think so. Because one of the guys is
an architect. And, you know, he's building out in East
Austin. And I said, Well, that's great, because you got the
opportunity zone. Oh, yeah. That's fantastic. That's the
best thing. We got this great tax breaks. Oh, you mean, the
Trump tax break? What? Yeah, so it's the opportunity zones?
Yeah. What do you think did that? No, I don't think I don't
think that the I. It felt to me like, everyone's just tired of
it. They'll watch Rachel. Maybe they'll watch Morning Joe.
There's some definite Morning Joe viewers, brother. Oh, yeah.
Mika Brzezinski is great. I said she was better when her dad was
alive. Did that make more sense to make fun of her? And but no
one no one pushed back not I have Good, I have a good feeling
about it, it means that it means that people have just been
beaten down. And now their minds are, I think, kind of open for
change, or different ideas. And I'm not trying to change anyone
from their political persuasions, but just maybe a
little less on the derangement side, you know, it's like, let's
just chill down. It's not all nuts, which is what I
consistently explain is that's what we do. We try to keep you
healthy. Not feeling good. Listen, tomorrow is what I said.
So I expect them all to be here. Okay. And Australia
note couple of notes. Yeah, I
have several notes I've got actually let me I have a little
a little clip to play. And that will get us started.
A major storm system has brought valuable rain to drought
affected parts of Australia's east and it's also caused at
flash flooding on major roads. A cleanup is now underway in many
areas as the heavy rain moves on to the north south Wales with
North close.
It's hard not to smile seeing the happiness on this farmers
face. Heavy rain drenching drought stricken parts of the
country's east also helping to dampen fire zones. The downpour
is being celebrated in our regional centres, but it's
created some chaos in the cities in southeast Queensland severe
storms triggered widespread flash flooding. 330 millimetres
of rain has been recorded at lodo Creek on the Gulf Coast,
where the SCS has responded to more than 100 calls for
assistance. The deluge is so great it closed not only the
Pacific motorway for six hours, but also theme parks wet and
wild and MovieWorld shut for the day as the water levels rose
zookeepers using brooms to try to keep alligators in their
enclosures, and wading through the water to rescue koalas.
Although 100 millimetres of rain has been recorded at Bandera in
the northern Tablelands. And for the first time in five years,
water flowed through a creek in a drought stricken regional
town.
Once again, Australia. You're welcome.
Well, I got a note from a friend. That was the biggest
squeak I've heard your chair make yet. She has always leaned
away and joined the club. Okay. I also got my volume cranked way
Yeah,
that's good. It sounded fantastic.
Thanks for this show. It keeps me entertained this from
Neville. You have to cry or laugh as most politicians in
both our countries focus on anything as long as it's not to
the benefit of the voters. Thanks for the rain. It's been a
big help to Australia and not just to New South Wales to
climate change. Faithfulness slash faith followers, has
attacked our prime minister for the fires. It's his fault. As he
does not do enough to change the climate crisis. This is even
though our own scientists cannot say there's a direct link and
have publicly said so. The greenies will also not admit
they have some responsibility, build up a fuel and opportunity
for fires. About 15 or 20 years ago, they pushed Greenie
policies through state and local governments slowed or stopped
back burning.
Hello, yeah. Closing roads
and reduced management of national parks and imposing huge
fines on farmer managing their own fire risk, and preventing
clearing trees and growth near housing estates. They also will
not recognise most fires are started by people often on
purpose and some by accident. Anyway, go and prepare as heaven
forbid it is summer in Australia and is unlikely to warm it and
it's likely to warm up again. He wants and it's true for this
comment. Yes now. So I'm watching Christina Amman poor
and she's got some Aussie on there. And she's arguing that
he's arguing that climate change can cause these fires. And he
kind of made the same points or that Neville here is making
which is that's mismanagement they'd let it happen. Yeah, even
even even the Aborigines say hey, you know we didn't have
this happen and when we were in charge of everything here
because we knew what to do we do we take care of we set little
fires keep stuff smouldering all summer long, so we had to kind
of contained
Yeah, you have to do this in these areas. So this guy's
arguing with Christina Emma poor who's going on and on with every
litany 97% of all scientists, how can you say such a thing?
And she's just all all in she's a, which we'll discuss later in
the show a true believer. And this guy says, here's the
problem that we're really starting to witness now. People
don't want to do anything to prevent fires anymore, because
it's so much easier to just blame climate change.
Sure, yeah, that makes sense. I was all
in with this guy. What he said, Yeah. Oh, it's climate change
this fall. Okay, well, we just had to do something about that
and we won't it won't have these fires anymore. And it's okay.
You know?
Well, that's the same. That's the same in California. I guess
that's the same in California. It's the same attitude.
Essentially,
yes, California has the same series of project like when I
when I was working for the air pollution district, we would
have Bert these burned days. I mean, it was always carefully
calculated when you did um, so you wouldn't have an inversion
layer. But you'd have a burn day and they burn off Disaronno
county burned it to the ground pretty much under controlled
circumstances. And you'd never have these these problems. You
wouldn't have paradise, the whole city burning to the
ground. How does that happen?
So so we came to the rescue, and there's just no denying that we
operated the rain sticks. These are high precision instruments.
They are there from Utah made by Sherry Osborne. These things are
official. They are they are the real deal. You I believe keep
yours in the gun case. During the day, and safe gun safe. I'm
sorry, even better gun K gun safe. To make sure there's no
illegal uses.
You don't want anyone grabbing it or something who God knows
why would happen
because we shook we shook our sticks. And there was about
three day delay, which of course, part of that is just the
time difference with Australia, the speed of light, but also
when people are listening to the show people download
that. Yes, download the podcast. Yeah, no, that's
exactly my point is that there's some delayed reaction and
response in certain areas based upon one people download and
listen to the show that preceded per funk. Paul funk, who's in
Indiana. He says Sunday I want to send you a little report from
the region. An episode behind says crypto. He said three days
ago I listened to the rainstick episode and for the next two
days we had rain in Highland Indiana. My hypothesis he says
is that some of the power of the rain stick is stored in the
audio and then released when someone plays the episode which
would explain why when you shake them on air, you're getting
blowback in other places. I think it's completely true. And
I know it sounds crazy, but every single time when asked to
shake the rain stakes, it rains where it's supposed to rain. And
this was That was five months of drop all of a sudden, two
podcasters step in bada bing bada boom.
Yeah, we've done it before, but it also causes problems locally
and elsewhere. Yeah, it does.
Now we had pretty crappy weather. And I just heard all of
New York tune out. Yes. Okay. They're gone. Staying with the
green New Deal. George Monbiot.
I've just got your joke there.
George George Monbiot. Who is He? Is he just a columnist or is
he's made? His is? He's a communist activist? Yeah. Oh,
yeah. The large is a major, major socialist,
right. And he writes for The Guardian. And he has covered a
lot of the the climate crisis and the green New Deal. And he
was interviewed in a talk show in the UK. And I need to play
this because this is I think a lot of people follow his
thinking, a lot of people will follow him. He has a following.
He's, he's been around for a long time. I think he's very
popular in in these types of circles. And here, he explains
what we really need to do. And it then is right down the line
agenda 21 What we really need to do in order to save the Earth,
what would you say people should do, John?
What we have to do is a big structural, political, economic
stuff. You know what, what we're being told to do is change your
cotton buds, and all these pathetic micro consumerist
bollocks, which just isn't gonna get us anywhere. You know, is
there one or two things you can do? As a consumers do make
change switch to a plant based diet? That's one big change no
meat. animal farming has its massive environmental mass.
Another one stop flying. Yeah, but But beyond? Actually,
everything we have to do is
establish first of all, stop eating meat stop flying. These
are number one number
two lie. Why oh, as you get to live in a case like shaming.
Another one stop flying. Yeah, but But beyond that, actually,
everything we have to do is change the system, we have to
overthrow this system, which is eating the planet with perpetual
the system is eating the planet. I mean, since when was GDP a
sensible measure of human welfare? And yet everything that
governments want to do is to try to boost GDP. Now, people like
the OECD or the World Bank, because oh, we're not asking for
a lot of growth just 3% a year. That means doubling in 24 years.
Yeah, we're bursting through all the environmental boundaries and
screwing the planet already. You want to double it. Double all
That, double it again, keep doubling it. It's madness. We've
got to find a better way of measuring human welfare than
perpetual growth. We've got to start ramping down all fossil
fuel production and leave fossil fuels in the ground. And at the
same time, and this is a nice bit of it. It turns out that
through massive rewilding ecological restoration, you can
draw down a lot of the carbon dioxide we've already produced
huge amounts, allowing the forest to come back the marshes
to come back.
So I think this rewilding, that's the get everybody to live
in the cities thing. It's like everybody live in the city so we
can keep an eye on your control. Yeah. And then we'll rewild
everything else. rewild
to draw down a load of the carbon dioxide, we've already
produced huge amounts, allowing the forest to come back the
marshes to come back, the sea floor to recover from trawling
and stuff, they draw down carbon dioxide, and can take us a long
way towards stopping climate breakdown. At the same time as
stopping ecological breakdown, there's time, but we can't do it
by just pissing around at the margins of the problem. We've
got to go straight to the heart of capitalism and overthrow it.
Right, overthrow capitalism, and we're done. That's all we need
to do, along with stop eating meat and rewild.
Yeah, that guy.
That guy indeed.
Why don't we just get we're going to talk about as Amazon
moves to this clip. This is a guy that was on one of the one
of the kind of quasi right wing talk shows on the radio where
they like to get guys on her. It's kind of nuts. So this guy
has been doing this for a long time. This is less unite. Get it
less generic.
That's his real name less, you know, right. Okay.
All right. That's his name, though. And as the name he uses,
and he's on the Dorie Monson show. And here's a clip
climate activist in Portland, has come up with a solution for
improving the environment. He would like to see the human race
eradicated, whose name is Les Knight, and he said that he has
concluded the best thing for the planet would be a peaceful phase
out of human existence. Well, I knew I had to talk to this guy.
So let me welcome less.
That's such a disc jockey. Well, I got
to the Dorie Monson show. Hello, les
Dory. Good. Glad to hear from you. Yeah, I don't really I
think eradicate is the wrong word. I know that some news
sources are saying that but a peaceful phase out wouldn't be
an eradication, that's what we're trying to avoid.
Okay, so a peaceful phase out meaning what I know that you
had, for example, it sounds like you got yourself a vasectomy
many years ago, because you didn't want to populate, is that
right?
That is correct. Yes. And so many people are telling me
lately, you go first, and I'm saying okay, I did now Holy
shit.
I just had a great idea. This makes so much sense. What this
that is to fix the solve climate change. Forced vasectomy,
vasectomies.
Ooh, hold on. I think you made it. You've made a philosophical
blunder there. Oh. Well, I don't think you have to force it.
Yes, I hear you go.
Okay. All right. So tell me about this. Why? Why do you
think Earth would be better off if mankind was not a part of it?
Well, everywhere that we have left has flourished. Even
Chernobyl, which we can't go to, for, you know, 24,000 years,
because of the radiation. All the other species that we had
wiped out from their bears and boars, all sorts of things are
coming back.
Why would we care about other animals more than we care about
mankind?
Well, it's it's equal, it doesn't have to be more than we
are causing the sixth great extinction. Hundreds of 1000s
species are going extinct because of us. And if we phase
ourselves out, we won't voluntarily we won't go
involuntarily in the, the great collapse that is bound to come
if we continue causing extinctions of other species.
Now, there's not gonna be any great collapse. I
think you're right. What if what a what a great idea, because
there's so many men who are so willing to virtue signal and
show that they're on board not just with with women and and you
know, bringing more equality, but also to save the Earth.
Yeah, I think I think you're nuts off movement. Well, no,
wait,
wait, I let's let's work on it. Let's work on a little bit of a
campaigning here for a second. We need a chant. So
how about Hey, Paul, your balls have got to go, hey, hey, oh,
let's do something a little more subtle. Don't be daft. Don't be
silly. Save the Earth. Snip your Willie. To get in their skin,
they will work on it. Okay. But
what this brought me to an interesting little aside, I did
a little research. This guy, I looked him up. And he's about 72
or so. And he said he had. Okay. You already know where I'm
going?
Well, do you think he's shooting blanks at this point?
He had a vasectomy at 24. Oh, geez. No, like, he just got a
vasectomy. Oh,
and but that was, wow. So he didn't just get one. That's the
whole point.
Well, this is what but this is what is interesting, because I
think there's a lot of guys like this out there. Because if you
look at the timeline, when he got his vasectomy, according to
my calculator,
that was that was the population boom, probably.
Exactly. He got his vasectomy around 1974, based on the
numbers, which Kate and Paul Ehrlich's book came out in 68.
And that was the first salvo and then the Club of Rome, which I
mentioned earlier to you, comes along, and they came along, and
they were formed in 68. And in 72, they came out with their
first report called the economic growth or limits to growth. And
then they came up with the second report, which, after
Limits to Growth called man kind at the turning point, and they
were promoting the end of the world, if anyone remembers that
it's old enough, I should brief you on this. They were promoting
the end of the world in the year 2000. Because we're going to run
out of resources and we have too many people. And that would be
the time to get a vasectomy. And
to be clear, to be clear a lot at the end of the world
population bomb was as big a deal in the media then as
climate changes today.
Almost exactly the same, we have less less usually. So I want to
just reiterate that this had a lot this this this notion, which
I believe resulted. I think there's a lot of people out
there that are gullible. I'm gonna use the word gullible
probably. And so they're in a situation because they're so
stupid and gullible that they had their they got clipped in
their in their 20s. And, and I want to read this little tidbit
from a an abstract from the publication of social biology
performed in refuse vasectomy, a decade of waning popularity and
increasing awareness of safety and family. And over this they
abstract family planning clinics, and a random sample of
private physicians throughout the US were surveyed in 1972 and
84. To learn the incidence of performed in refuse vasectomy,
and to discern attitudinal change over time toward delayed
physical and psychological sick Kweli related to mastectomy That
means after effects data show that after a dramatic rise in
pop it dramatic. This is the key word here. Yeah, a dramatic rise
in popularity in the early 1970s. Wow. incidence has fallen
significantly in the intervening years. And then they did try to
figure out why this was and they said the greatest decreases
reported by a physician they think it was the physicians
predilection to practice defensive medicine because you
get sued every time somebody's balls will up. This to me is
mama right after the climate crisis, which brought me to the
third point, which is a book that should be in our reading
list. Okay. It came out in 1951 called the truth to true
believer. And I'll read a little bit who wrote this, who was Eric
Hoffer. Eric Hoffer was a kind of a lecturer and a
longshoreman. He was called a longshoreman philosophy,
philosopher. He did a whole bunch of books, a whole bunch of
they're all very readable. But the true believer that came out
it's 51 used to be standard reading in colleges. Because
there was a problem with kids that were gullible. Gullible
Strauss true believer was a correctional tome. It was
printed and stopped. They stopped printing in 2002. So it
was on the market for 21 years and then they you know who needs
it? But let me just read a couple of things here. Hoffer
analyses the decision wicky Hoffer analyses. In attempts to
explain the motives of the various types of personnel
personalities that give rise to mass movements, why and how mass
movements start progress and and, and the similarities
between them, whether religious, political radical or
reactionary. He argues that even when their stated goals or
values differ, mass movements are interchangeable, and
adherence will often flip from one movement to the other. And
we saw that with the, you know, the climate frizam world is
going to freeze same people
went from from new ice age is coming to we're all gonna die in
a fiery hell
and that the motivations for mass movements are
interchangeable, thus religious, nationalist and social movements
where the radical reactionary tend to attract the same type of
followers, same type of followers, believe in the same
way in the same tactics and theoretical tools use the same
tactics, those examples and examples. And I shouldn't
mention just part of the part one a little synopsis. He says,
mass movers began with a widespread desire for change
from discontented people who placed their Locus of Control
outside their power, and who also have no confidence in
existing culture or traditions. Feeling their lives are
irredeemably irredeemably spoiled. Oh, you've ruined my
childhood. Exactly. And believing there's no hope for
advancement. Oh, we're all gonna die, or satisfaction as an
individual true believers seek self renunciation. Thus, such
people are ripe to participate in a movement that, that offers
the option of subsuming their individual lives in a larger
collective. And that's exactly what we're witnessing with
climate change. I
think you've nailed it. I think that is, I mean, the clip was
not Clip of the Day worthy, but this analysis certainly was
certainly. And it's perfect. It's a perfect time to shame men
into doing this. Get the climate back, snip your sack. I mean,
there's a million things we can come over and push the climate
back. It's easy snip your sack. I mean, it's just there's so
many we can do. Yeah, and then that snip my sack doo doo doo
doo. Now I'm a believer, we can just go on forever. Oh, the song
was Chris Wilson is
rolling around, go to snip.
We'll keep our eye on this. If it's not already a thing. I
think we should promote this just to be good for the show. We
need I mean, we already have the women saying oh, I'm not gonna
have children anymore. No mentioned by the way of
sterilisation or anything. No, just a conscious choice not to
have children. But we all know that it's really men who are the
problem, one man can spread his demon seed across multiple
women. So we know that we have to go to the source of the
problem. The problem with climate change is too many
people. That's because there are too many men who have active
organs.
Yeah, you're checking all the boxes? That's right.
Well, that's that can almost go in the Red Book that that's
going to happen. By the way that the landmark case with the kids
who are suing the government for climate change, because they
didn't do enough.
Yeah, tossed out
didn't even didn't even hear it just tossed out. No, no, no,
this is not is not gonna go. I'm sorry for the kids.
If people go out there and read the book, The True Believer,
they'll find there's a lot of he's got some very interesting
theories, how people get met, they actually turn themselves in
mature and childlike, which is why you'd have a leader like
Greta, who's a 16. Year was ludicrous. It's a book is fast.
And after he kind of left it out of the out of the
I'm putting it in the show notes, putting it in the show
notes, putting in the show notes right
now has to go. It has to be read by everybody in the show notes
in a show notes.com.
Now, very interesting. You mentioned a few minutes ago that
you had clips from Christiana Amanpour from siano.
I said I saw the show. Oh,
because I also was watching Christiana on poor in these past
few days, and I did get some clips, which I think are
relevant. Considering that we now have a dream team for a
Dream Team for Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate.
Even I didn't see this one coming. You have the two guys,
Alan Dershowitz who I respect I think he's, he's the the proto
constitutional lawyer. And before he he didn't virtue
signal against Trump. He was always on CNN, MSNBC was
everywhere, everybody I hailed him, but then he, you know,
said, Well, you know, according to the Constitution and everyone
hated him right down to Martha's Vineyard.
Well, I have the PBS intro clip to the to the Dream Team. If you
want to just play that as an intro to what you're going to
discuss. Yeah, let me see Prach its unveiling Prach
in President Trump's legal defence team for his Senate
impeachment trial is taking shape and expanding. It was
widely reported that it will include Ken Starr, the former
independent counsel whose investigation led to President
Clinton's impeachment, and retired Harvard law professor
Alan Dershowitz, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, and Mr.
Trump's personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, are expected to lead
the legal team during oral arguments beginning on Tuesday.
So not only is Dershowitz but also can start both men involved
in the slap on the wrist prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein
in Florida. You can't make this up. Both of those guys were
involved in that deal with the Justice Department and Jeffrey
Epstein to get him his little private cell where he could
leave 10 hours a day and just go back to sleep and he had his own
wing. Those guys are doing this. Here's the Alan Dershowitz
explaining what his role will be. The abuse
of power allegation is that that request conditioned on money
that was federally mandated under the law for a different
purpose
is I'm sorry, I'm sorry, playing it the wrong way around here he
is talking about his role. Well,
my job next week will be to present the constitutional case
against impeachment a case that I've been presenting, on your
show in two books in 25 articles, I will not deal with
the nitty gritty of the facts and whether there should be
facts. Now we can't now he means something else. But in some
media training would be appropriate here. Dersch
chuckles
I will not deal with the nitty gritty of the facts.
That's all you need that clip, just play that over and over
again, on CNN, that little bit is enough, and
whether they should be witnesses or not, but just from a personal
point of view, the Constitution approach, which was suggested in
prior preachment impeachments was always to have the facts
presented to the House of Representatives cross
examination, you then get a report, and the report is what's
put on trial. The one thing that's critically clear, is that
if the Democrats are allowed to call witnesses, President
Trump's lawyers will have to be allowed to call witnesses, and
they're going to determine initially, whether the witnesses
are relevant. On CNN all day, they've been saying today that
Hunter Biden wouldn't be relevant. But of course, he'd be
relevant, if witnesses will call, because the issue is, was
he corrupt? Did the President legitimately have an interest in
ferreting out corruption, including the corruption of
Hunter Biden? So I think if the Democrats begin to open the
door, they will regret it also will put the trial off for
months, maybe even longer than that, because they're going to
call Bolton, Bolton will want to testify, the President will
invoke executive privilege, and then the Senate will have to
take that case to court. And the court will have to decide either
on a blanket way or question by question way, whether or not
Bolton has the right to answer these questions. Remember, he
doesn't get to make the decision. It's made by the
President in the first instance. And then the courts.
So according to the country's constitutional lawyer, no way,
it doesn't even qualify. And of course, he said that on Fox
News, he doesn't get to say that anywhere else, I guess.
He kind of meant yes, there's a lot of this stuff isn't said
anywhere else. And he does mention that they and I'll play
this little clip this is the clip is professor on testimonies
on impeachment. This is a professor from NYU who is on
PBS. This is not CNN, this is not MSNBC. And he just threw out
this little snippet when it was when they were discussing the
idea of bringing Hunter Biden on board to testify
like atmosphere, maybe the press people and who he wants are
people like Hunter Biden aren't directly relevant to the case.
And I think that's part of it is to try to like flip the
narrative and to being about something else.
I was Hunter Biden not part of the case. I would like somebody
to answer me that. But all of the data, including PBS on this,
all of the news sources are making the claim that Hunter
Biden
irrelevant is not relevant case has nothing to do with it. No,
of course not.
And now if you want to contrast to that, listen to this. I have
a Rand Paul clip, which is pretty hard to come by.
It's something worth playing. Yeah, certainly.
Because he's usually pretty much kept out of the off the air, but
this here's Rand Paul talking about the same kind of thing.
Can you think Any company, anywhere in the world that
whatever pay millions and millions of dollars to somebody
that is here, what is
this Hannity?
Yeah and forth. That's all you can get on?
I gotta tell you, I cannot watch that man. That's very hard. And
I don't it's I can't listen to him on the radio is there's
something about him. It's just like, Oh, you're just beating me
with your wet blanket all the time. Stop. That's the way he
talks, I guess brilliance? Do you? Can you would any business
ever do that?
Well, it goes to the heart of the matter of the President's
being accused of withholding foreign aid. And his argument
is, well, we were studying corruption. And we wanted to
know about corruption in Ukraine. And I think the Biden's
are as corrupt as the day as long as no young man who's the
son of a politician gets 50 grand a month who has no
experience three were working for a Ukrainian oligarch, you
know, I mean, for goodness sakes, it smells die. Haven't it
smells like corruption. And every day on the mainstream
media, they say, oh, there's no there there. This has been
investigated, there's no corruption. I think the American
people don't buy it. But here's the thing is Fair's fair. And if
they're gonna put the president through this, they're gonna have
to have witnesses on both sides. But I'll tell you what my fear
is, is that some Republicans are going to vote for witnesses will
get those the ones that Democrats want. And then when we
have the votes on bringing witnesses or letting the
President choose his witnesses, I think those will fail, not
only because of those Republicans, but because a whole
variety of Republicans may not allow the whistleblower may not
allowed Biden for one reason or another because they serve with
him. But if it turns out and the Republican bases that this looks
like only Democrat witnesses, and no presidential witnesses, I
guarantee that the Republican break the Republican base, will
punish those people who said that I can't support any
Republican that does that I can tell you right now,
right? Yes. And the narrative is about to fall apart, let's
shrink some amygdalus here. I got an email from a person who
works at a DC lobbying firm. And I have confirmed that with one
of the partners of the firm, that doesn't happen often, but
the partner actually confirmed this. Now I want to read this.
This is about left Parness. And left Parnas is, you know, the
guy with the hair stuck on his head, the he's bald, but he just
thinks it looks good if he sticks those strands here. So he
is described as Rudy Giuliani's crony, you know, he's out there,
he's doing deals, he's trying to, you know, this spying on the
ambassador or whatever. This is very important to understand.
Unless Parnas was a client of the lobbying firm I work for in
DC. And I confirmed that here's the important thing to know
about lev. He paid Rudy Giuliani $500,000, for him to copy the
business model of LifeLock. And this makes sense, because I kept
trying to figure out what is this company that he used to
donate campaign funds through fraudulently apparently, or
that's under indictment called fraud guarantee, which, you
know, the mainstream laughed about this, wow, you can't make
this stuff up. That guy's a fraud. So he has a company
called fraud guarantee. No one actually looks into it. This is
true. The guy tried to create LifeLock, which is a great
company who will email you from time to time and say, Oh, you
better keep your subscription up for $25 a month, we found your
information on the dark web, you don't want. I'm not kidding. The
key I noticed that keeper left it she because she had LifeLock.
And she left it because I said I don't want all my shit in a
single point of failure. And And ever since she left it, she's
getting all these threatening emails, Oh, we found you on the
dark web, this information about you and the dark web Sign up now
to get off the dark web. So he Giuliani was helping him
advising him recreate the LifeLock business model. So Rudy
Giuliani was working for him, not the other way around. And
this guy, the problem, the the trouble he got into was for
bribing local officials for pot licences. So the the accusation
from the lobbying firm employee is he's just doing this to raise
his own profile. His own political profile, maybe
but certainly profile view, sorry. Avenatti to it completely
an Avenatti story, except I haven't I didn't stick the hair
on his head. He went full bolt. Enter Christiana Amanpour. She
does an interview with the foreign minister of Ukraine.
Vadim per cycle. This is the secretary of state this is the
foreign minister this As the guy who deals with everything with
other countries, he deals with the United States State
Department. And he's been in the inner circle of as the
landscapes and before he got elected, and throughout his
entire first year in office Christianna on poor you is so
held in the guys in I think it was actually in DC, at the
embassies in its outside shot. And he's, you know, he's just
doing this interview, he has business in Washington, DC,
because that's what Foreign Ministers do. Christiana port is
so hell bent on getting him to admit about this quid pro quo
and it's so obvious to Lev Parnas. You know, he's the, he's
the missing link in everything we can now we can now we can
finally get rid of the of the President, Orange Man bad. But
she can't make it happen. And her valiant efforts are well
appreciated. But this clip, which ran on CNN International,
has not aired once on CNN in the US. And this is one of the main
guys who would know exactly what's happening. He is just
like Hillary Clinton was a sidekick to Barack Obama when
she was Secretary of State. The guy was on the call. He I have a
couple of clips from this interview,
Mr. Foreign Minister, let me ask you the questions that everybody
is talking about right now. Left upon us. A crony of.
She even says a crony. Isn't that interesting how she sets
that up? Really
now? Lev Parnas, a crony of Rudy Giuliani, who is the President's
personal lawyer has now spoken out, as you know, and he has
said several things, mostly that he did carry a very explicit
message from the President via Rudy Giuliani, that there would
need to be a quid pro quo if Ukraine was going to continue
getting any kind of assistance, financial, military, political,
whatever kind of assistance. And furthermore, he is now said that
he is spoken to key officials within presidents Lenski circle,
since you are one of those and you were when this happened? Did
you get that message from Lev Parnas?
No, you have to kind of get into the guy's speech pattern,
because he's obviously not a native English speakers. English
is impeccable, but it's very, it's very, it has a heavy accent
is a little jerky. But the question is very clear and
obvious. It's all
Ukrainian media as well, today and yesterday. And strangely
enough, my name was not mentioned, although I'm Minister
of Foreign Affairs. And I frankly, I never spoke with this
individual. And again, frankly, I don't, I don't trust any work.
He is now saying the assistance, which we he is referring to was
reviewed each and every year annually, at least twice and
half a year at the end of the year. So we knew that this
assistance is to be reviewed, sometimes it would be cut,
because of the some political understanding of what is to be
done in Ukraine, sometimes being in race, which is now we're
observing at the end of the year, we will receive even more
than it was planned. I understand that this doodle,
which I don't know, personally, but he is now trying to save his
own case. And I again, I don't trust what he's saying. And I
would know I was so tired of these questions about the our
own payments, what we were trying to tell Americans that we
are we are so happy to have bilateral support from both
parties. And we will be happy to have it as well.
So I know it's you'll get into it as you listen to him. But
he's saying no, this is very normal. It's very normal. Every
six months, we adjust, we talk to the State Department talk to
our counterpart parts. Sometimes things have to be adjusted down,
we have to do certain things. All in normal course of
business. This left parnaz guy, not quite sure what he is, he
seems he has like he has his own problems. As he said he's
fighting for his own case, the guy when he did the interview
with Rachel Maddow had a GPS tracker on his ankle. Because
he's he's on bail. He's not allowed to leave the country,
etc. But that doesn't work. For Christiana, I'm poor. Let's make
sure you're
you say that your name hasn't been mentioned public. I just
want to make sure that you will never receive this kind of
message verbally or otherwise, from anybody connected with
Rudolph Giuliani or representing the press
just to make sure you didn't you know, like trick me and someone
else told you there was a quid pro quo. Are you really sure?
I never met Rudy. I never met these foreigners. And they all
are the name mentioned the I believe that people are not
tried trying to raise their political importance. I never
had the chance. And frankly, we don't need this channels. Our
channels of communication with Americans are well established.
If some of the unofficial contacts through the advisors
that's why advisors for we took the official formal part. We're
happy with the conversation. I was at all the meetings and the
conversation is the telephone and the person And with
President Trump and I can tell you with all certainty that he
was never mentioned that we have to do something. And presidency
was always telling him that whatever this message and this
in the lesson you were teaching us all this 30 years or
independence, that it should be rule of law and should do
independent judiciary and prosecutor agenda from the
President, we finally got the message, we're not going to
intervene because of some political gains. We told him if
you have information, send us through the official channels,
which is Prosecutor General's office, you have your prosecutor
agenda, we have ours, let them talk right. If anything to be
investigated, less investigate this.
Again, we understand there are always things that are
political, or things that need to be done for, particularly in
the arena of corruption in Ukraine. We understand sometimes
all or parts of the funds are held, withheld, delayed, because
we have to do something very normal course of business. Just
send us the changes, whatever you need, we'll get right on it.
But but but didn't, didn't the President get all pissed off and
and not attend the inauguration. Because because there was no
formal announcement of of investigating the Biden's
clearly the United States had made it clear that either the
President or the Vice President was going to come to President
Solinsky inauguration. And this we are told also was mentioned
by the left partners, Rudy Giuliani or a number of people
who they say we're carrying message to your president. It
didn't happen as you very well know, they didn't come to the
inauguration,
I can tell you why. We as of some, some blame can be on our
side, because we had to do it in very fast way. Prisons. elinsky
wanted to leave the parliament's free from from his new
presidency. And we have just a couple of days to make it legal.
We have been when the limited by ourselves by time. So we gave
quite a short notice to all the nations in in our case in the
American case, Secretary Perry came, we believe that would
we'll have somebody else if we want to, if we give more more
time for the foreign delegations.
So now he could be covering and that would be the one view of
this. But what he's saying and this is the kind of like a
number two guy in the country? No, we made the decision, you
know, a couple days before, it's not easy to move the President
or Vice President, if we had want really wanted that level to
show up. We would have planned that differently. We got
Secretary Perry, and then it was Secretary of Energy. We feel
that was pretty appropriate. Okay, one more time. This can't
be true. What about what about that Ambassador sondland Key
clearly said quid pro quo. I just can't
be Trump. Okay, so let's just be perfectly clear, Mr. Foreign
Minister, or even the President's own ambassador to
the EU sondland, whose was tasked with the Ukrainian brief
says that there was a quid pro quo. Was there a quid pro quo,
as far as you know? And were you surprised when you did actually
hear that that military aid was being suspended?
I know, personally, Buster, sondland. And I have to again,
remind you that he was political appointee. He was not on the
formal side is over the State Department. He was also close to
the circus, which were sort of trying to get in their own
business. Like, wait, maybe he was bringing message. But if you
read him in his statement, he never talked to me, although I
was the advisor, and then Minister of Foreign Affairs,
about any prepare for our or any any unofficial cat channels or
ways of what we can do to get closer to President Trump. No,
he was talking to some people who believe was instrumental
that time, I personally see that we are okay with the support we
have right now. And we don't need sorry, to be blunt. And we
don't need this unofficial support is not on the level at
the level when we have these American Americans already, we
can have the support. And if we are told that the system's
military assistance can be affected by some lack of reform.
This is a normal conversation we had with Americans so many times
before. And during this particular year, you're
describing right now, we had a couple of times to explain to
members of Congress that we understand that this system is
not coming from this guy. It is connected to some reforms we
have to do to change and we were doing so it was not about
political gains on in his any side. We heard this this
assistance is important to our we told them that this is
important, and it is connected to some reforms, which we were
doing.
And that was it. She could not beat it out of him. And this is
as far as I understand kind of the crux of this abuse of power,
which we now know is not constitutional impeachment
article. Well,
I mean, I know you slipped into my subconscious the idea of Clip
of the Day
No, no, no, I didn't Call I would give you a
clip of the date for this because it's really an
outstanding clipping and unbelievable catch. But because
that guy is so difficult to listen, yeah, it's hard to give
you a borderline.
Okay. And I'll accept the borderline. It's completely
fair. But that is the whole now. It's just the foreign minister.
We also have the actual president saying no, it was no
pressure. Now, they could be lying. You know, Trump may have
a gun to their head behind the scenes. I don't know.
seems unlikely Ukrainians, if anyone's got a gun, it's damn.
Yeah.
So to me, that just kind of shuts it all down. So I'm not
sure what you're actually going to talk about. But it seems like
this is all you know, we're moving from pitches. This
is the Muller report. Base Docs is I mean, it's the same kind of
thing a bunch of oh, I had to lunch with one of the lib Joe's.
Oh my goodness, this should have been top of the show.
Well, we had top of the show was better. And bringing in the true
believer, I think epitomise the lib, Joe. That was a fun
conversation we're talking about normally net the very end when I
knew Trump was mentioned that this is why I was listening to
you and the bankers team because everyone was no no one's saying
anything about Trump, because you never triggered him. It took
me a while but I finally Oh, you
had to trigger him. Interesting. Interesting. You didn't do that?
No. Well, hello, I was I was a guest. You shouldn't do.
Unless you want to. You want to have to be worked for a couple
of weeks. You didn't want to trigger? Because if you
triggered him and you got what I got all my god. Here's a couple
of little tidbits. One left is the most important guy ever.
Ever, I mean, more important than who's the last most
important guy forgot who
was no smaller when whatever. Calling or
calling of a knotty Cohen. Yeah, exactly. The same.
Yeah, it's gonna be the devil. This guy Trump is done.
Democrats are gonna get both the House and the Senate in 2020.
And then if he's still in office somehow because it's a
possibility that Trump has a solo act, which never happened.
I watched this and you have to the President doesn't come in
and then Lou ever like nobody votes did for a Republican
president then votes the Democratic ticket. They just
don't do it. No. But no, no, that's what's gonna happen.
Okay. And then because
did you wait, did you say hold on, let me put that in the Red
Book. Did you do that I
was writing down. I didn't have anything to write on. But I
remember as most of it because like there's beds available.
Everybody's going to jail. Everybody who's worked with
Trump so far has gone to jail.
The topic of 1000s of sealed indictments come up.
By me. I was just saying he's just a reflection of the other
crazy side of things. But he said Barr is going to jail for
jail. Is this the Giuliani jail, jail jail. The jail bars the
worst by the way corny these guys now I don't know where
they're getting his but somehow, Barr has turned into this, you
know, great guy, to this horrible person has gone to
jail.
Did they mention any kind of charge?
Vague corruption. Everybody's corrupt the whole operation.
This is the most and then what was funny about this
conversation was first he starts off with and he actually had a
better list than I had at the top of my head of Trump's
accomplishments. He had, you know, pretty much every one of
them it did that people would say well, here's what Trump's
done and he had them all. Okay, and the reason that Trump has
accomplished what he has is just by sheer luck
Oh, it was really the process of the government that made it all
work
yeah. Oh, but he's doomed he's done that but
well that's very similar to the to the opportunity zone like oh,
no, that's just Trump happened to be there that that happened.
Yeah. Went going Keating anyway, so I got a kick out of it.
That was it. That was that was the only problem is that this is
what brought me
by the way. This is what brought me around to the to the idea
that this was he's incredulous you won't listen to anything.
And he won't listen to anything other than what he what his
sources are, which you won't tell me. I told them what they
were just CNN, MSNBC because he knows MSNBC guy, New York Times
for sure in the Washington Post, period. That's your four sources
of information for most of these people. And This is why this got
me to thinking about the gullibility factor. These people
and there's a lot of them. And it really concerns me that
they're just hook line and sinker. They're so gullible,
that they believe this stuff without any critical thought
whatsoever. And they don't even care to hear anything. The
opposite of whatever they've been whatever they bought into,
and I put this on the climate science people, the climate
crisis people, the people that were into the new ice age and
air and the people that got there to get clipped when
they're in their 20s This is dare gullible and this my
friends are gullible,
gullible travels,
man oh, man oh, man that this was the professor. Yeah. Wow.
Well, he's getting it from both ends, so to speak. And he's
getting it from the from the, from the academia and from
Rachel. Rachel Maddow. I love that. That's it, because that's
literally the same thing on both sides. They're all going to
jail. They're all corrupt.
It's a mirror image is complete.
It's well, it's just kind of good. Because when you disturb
one
for us, well
don't give away the secrets of the show. It'll if you change
something on one side, you may see a complete an equal change
on the other side matter and antimatter. Yes. Whoa, now we're
deep. Wow.
disappointing because it's like you think people would be having
to try to think for themselves a little bit. But it's just litany
it's just bang, bang, bang, boom. And it's, and it's I'm
almost like, I might as well have Rob Reiner at the table.
Man, talk about me talking about being good for the show. That
would that's,
by the way, Rob Reiner is a buddy. If I if I could
ask people friendly. Would you please refrain from filling out
online forums for people to be a guest on the no agenda show?
It's very embarrassing to the show. twice, maybe three times a
week, I get an email from an author from someone who has
another podcast from you know, like, hi, we want you on the no
agenda show and that you know, they sign it Adam curry Adam
mccurry.com Ha ha ha. So then I have to explain now this is just
some overzealous fan I guess. You know, we don't have some
joker one of the bad show haters, but
it's like people subscribing me to the idiotic newsletters.
Luckily, most of them you know, check before they bought it.
Auto subscribe you. I believe you. Did you just recently do a
new one. Just the other day?
No, I haven't for a while.
That's me. Thanks, bud. But, you know, for guests, it's just rude
and it wastes time and you're not funny. And you know, we
don't have guests. So stop it. Don't do it. Maybe you thought
you were helping but you're not I don't think they thought they
were helping.
form of harassment could be could be by the way.
You know, the the the transmission of the Articles of
Impeachment was what? 28 days. 30 days. I'm now thinking now
that I've had a good look at these pens. These are these are
Mont Blanc pens. Are their
mom blokes with a gold
about a waste of the taxpayers money
they're about now I don't Well, she got them. It's a they're
engraved with Nancy Pelosi signature.
Yeah, that's a good one.
I think they had to wait for the pens to get delivered. Wow, what
else could it be? I mean to get and you know, they had 30 of
these pens that probably about three grand eats so that's not
bad. You know? $90,000 expensive.
I mean,
when I looked at Mommy brand I looked at No, I looked at Mont
Blanc pens, and the one that resembles it I don't see the
exact pen in their lineups, or maybe even a total custom job
for all I know. But the one that looks like the most is
$3,000 $3,000
That's engraved as include engraving. That's before
engraving. What
Yes. Mont Blanc pens are not cheap. I mean that you've
gotten that pen as a souvenir. I mean, I'm sure what they're
gonna all end up in a little display case, but I just use it
who's that sort of?
Bake it in some Lucite now? Yeah, it's, they may have at
least a week for those pens. Yeah, that's and you know, she
was really hammering on the date it being the December 18. And
this was important. So I think she had that date on the pen is
engraved with her signature.
The dates on the pen. Yes, the date of the impeachment. The
date of the impeachment of the date of the transfer the
date of the impeachment, which is her whole thing. She wants it
December 18. She wants it to be remembered that schoolchildren
need to remember this when she did Paul Revere nursery rhymes
in infamy. She's not gonna get anything out of this just this
is going nowhere for her. Well, we think she's gonna be famous
in the history books.
In her mind, she's there. She will be
she will be remembered as the first female speaker of the
house. That that's that's a kind of a big deal, but I can't I
don't I doubt you could name me the Speaker of the House during
the Roosevelt administration, which probably was a pretty
secure situation. Can you know, I can't either I don't know who
it was. No. Who's the speaker the master and Truman? I don't
know.
And again, people don't seem to care anymore. And they're moving
on with their lives though. They'll just watch Rachel and
you think
that but then when I had when I got the trigger and going
because I did that's true. You know, boom, next thing you know,
corruption and the horrible person the orange MAN bad.
Everyone's going to jail. Unbelievable. All right, I'll
try some triggering next time but I have to set this it's not
going to do it.
I know the individual in a large group.
It could trigger each other could go it could be an
explosion. The whole hotel could have gone smoke.
Like a nook.
With that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you the man who put the C and Vasek to me John.
Good morning to you in the morning to you Mr. Adam. J is C
curry or something. J really? See see Adam Clark and Clark.
Yes. Clark curry Adam Clark curry would you send like a
paper company in the morning to you in the morning to all the
chips to see in the boots on the ground defeat in the air. The
subs in the water and all the damage the nights out there
and in the morning to the trolls who are always hanging out at no
agenda stream.com Let's see how many trolls we have there.
today. We have a little troll counter 1240 Hello trolls all
looking beautiful all the same height. They're there to listen
to the show live we have a number of shows on no agenda
stream.com which go live. But we also roll them out. Just the

enter the chat room and that's kind of the troll room and you
can hang out with people discuss find out more control. That's
one of the main features is we encourage the trolling no agenda
stream.com Also in the morning to the artists who bought us the
artwork for episode 1208 The title of that was weeping
angels. And this was Nick the rat who's back who has done it
once again.
Got a lot of compliments for this yard.
You and was you said it was great. I've never watched
grommet and walnut whatever so this was not for me. I defer to
you. And I think we made a good
for you. We couldn't find anything else that you'd like.
That's true and you didn't like this piece either.
No, I was like it doesn't really mean anything to me. But I
deferred I think I said yeah, no
you did I give you that you defer to me and I assured you
that it was a funny piece. And it was I could hear you rolling
your eyes.
Funny it's a complaint I get at home too.
And you rolled your eyes and then you said okay well we'll
give it a shot it gets because what you said what you convinced
you finally was at a jump
to pop yet popped off the page. It was the only one that popped.
Always looking for pops.
But yeah, it was a funny piece. It was Amy Klobuchar as a
Wallace and Gromit character
and people and the compliments. were abundant. So it was a good
choice. Good piece by Nick we thank all the artists who are
always in competition friendly competition. No, it's friendly,
it's friendly. They're always thanking each other on Twitter
like congratulations, hey. No agenda art generator.com is
where you can see all the submissions there's a lot there

therefore incredibly fun to look at. It is also used on mugs T
shirts, hoodies, etc. Had no agenda shop.com where the
artists the shop and the show benefit. It's used to
newsletters and you are welcome to jump into the fray no agenda

at the last minute. It was kind of interesting.
I know. Eric sent me a Redux spreadsheet. He said I guess
some stuff came in
No Well there was a couple of things that came in late but
let's go over what we have. Okay. Sure Ana misses at the
top, but he comes in or he sir
animates of lower slip of Dogpatch and lower Slavia right.
And he writes, he came in with with one of his coded numbers
12321 does do the $32 First
of all, so he's Thank you, sir autonomous. And now for the
decoding of the the number and the note. Well, the note
a couple of things is he this is not a real one of his normal
notes. This is a note because he's established a fund for a
new Daming right now. Thanks for all the producers that make the
best source of news in the known universe the value from this
show continues to be immeasurable to me. My effort
for Dame lady support seem too complicated. Now then he says
this please credit the women that donated to show 1200 games
are not included in this promotion is to add new
roundtable members so I don't know what he means by
this. So he says for episode if I understand him correctly,
Episode 1200 Female donors receive his his fund
for this particular go round, so is that Brittany, Alison, Olga
Sherry, Lindsey Cassidy, Jennifer, there's a bunch of
them. Oh, he
wrote him down or you look them up.
I looked him up. To simplify this promotion any woman that
donates at least double nickels on the dime for this show. And
the previous show will share equally in the donation credit
toward their totals. Okay, this has to be divided up. I rely on
you to to determine to divide divisor the divisor and identify
them to troll room can confirm things of you like I
knew it was going to be too easy. He's finally come around
and he's decided he wants to make us work.
All week is when does that not happen?
We have to and by the way, we are passing this off to Eric
right for him to figure out
he's not going to do
more of course we can do this
separately. Okay. Now he has this thing here he wants me to
do he changes his mind about this part. But I'm going to just
kind of summarise he apparently Rene DuPont and show 12 Six is
the woman who had the courage. She had the courage the way he
puts it to hope she would share in the dame drive from
promotion. I thought it was just a smart move on her part.
Because she came out and said hey, yeah. So he's going to give
her an instant dame.
Wow.
When he when she comes up with a dame lady title. And so there's
another $1,000 in advance, which is not, not on this not included
in the original promotion.
No, it's not included in this donation. Okay. It's part of the
original promotion. All right.
I'm very confused. So
I know I know. I am too, but I got kind of a handle on but
Renee, if she gets ahold of us if she's listening, and she
shouldn't be listening, if she's so sincere. And if she's not,
she condemned me for using the word so she'll get in touch with
us and give us a title and it will instantly shame her at some
later. Later event. Producer note he writes all right being
on a non US commercial carrier over a country's airspace when
the country launches missiles can be disruptive to air
traffic.
You may experience some discomfort during flight.
Danny says as far as he finishes off, I hope yum yum. Keeps his
missiles in his pants during my visit next
month. What he's going to North Korea. Oh my gosh, this is the
mystery. Oh, no judging goes no karma. So we don't know. We so
anyway, that's where we stand.
I'd like a souvenir. I'm thinking a poster. That's a
really bad joke.
So all the women who donate the show 1200 And there's at least
12 of you, you can drop 100 bucks into your account.
Nice. Just the way I see it. Makes sense now. Okay, so now,
is there any other work that needs to be done in the show
notes? Or oh,
no, we're good. We're good to go.
Good. Wow. You know, he's truly the patron. I know he doesn't
want any titles. He doesn't want us to call him anything other
than Serrana. Most of Dogpatch from lower Slavia but what a
fascinating guy or gal we don't even know if it's a man or a
woman quite honestly.
You know, it's a man. We talked about his wife. Oh, okay.
All right. Well, thank you so much. And this is a new twist to
the value for value model. Yes, I know we kind of understand.
You get a car. You get a car?

I noticed that he had a longer note. I don't know why it was
not in here. Sir hashtag Nolans or Dragonheart. His last
donation there in Beverly Hills. Now this actually came in and I
don't know why but it came in as two separate donations but then
it wouldn't qualify for anything. So So I combined them
okay to make to make the note readable and at the
100 bucks from each one of them in two separate postal mail
orders or what have money orders. Dear I, Adam and John,
please find your donations to the best podcast in the
university and closed and noted below the show continues to be
salient, timely, and it's reassuring to know that we have
fellow like minds out there in the wilderness of Wilma, in the
wilderness of insanity. Alright, world risks entity. A little
anecdote regarding the T dropping craze which I believe
you may have touched upon a few shows back when I was growing
up, you could always tell when someone was not from my
hometown, when they pronounced it, as always said, toronto,
toronto. Well, visitors forced to second T as in toronto,
toronto. Yeah, I would say that I think there are some words
I've noticed and people have pointed out that even I dropped
some T's but it's a little different than important.
At that point. Dropping a T into something. Yes, I agree with you
what you just said, almost a reverse of what is happening
now. And I imagine if trends continue, that poor second T may
be lost forever.
Okay, now for a second T
Bronto. I've been to Toronto. I mean, I think the T is in there,
toronto,
toronto, toronto, toronto, toronto, toronto, toronto,
that's our executive producer and Associate Executive Producer
list for show 12. And I want to thank each and every one of them
for keeping the show alive. And
especially these execs and associate execs because this is
really what keeps us going. And you get a synonymous of
Dogpatch. Who's paying it forward sharing the love for the
dame drive. That's highly appreciated. And you know,
we're, this is truly a value for value network. I mean, and I
just want to go back to Allison's note, that was an
Allison Yeah, Allison, who is an educator by day options, Trader
by night listens to the show, felt comfortable with our
analysis, no World War Three coming, this is all just a big,
a big PR move on both sides, you know, a lot of flag tweeting
back and forth. She didn't go in for the hedge. It's not like she
invested in something and made a billion dollars, but she didn't
spend money on a downside because she felt comfortable
with the analysis, made the money and then sends that value
back onto the show. I mean, it could not be a better example of
how it works for certain people. It can work for anybody multiple
ways
that we keep people sane, is really extreme, easily go off
the deep end and think some crazy stuffs gonna happen and
then start hedging, because you're fearful, but it's a
mistake.
In this case, certainly. Absolutely. Another way y'all
can help I did want to mention is subscribe to the no agenda,
animated channel animated no agenda. We are very close to the
magic 5000 number. And I know a lot of you don't have a Google
account, so no YouTube and it's for very good reason. And I
support that. But then, you know, I'm sure you have a friend
or a colleague or someone in the cubicle next to you, you can go
and go subscribe them to the show. Just we need to get to
that 5000 number so the algos kick in so we can finally exit
with our Netflix series. So that would be highly appreciated. And
thank you again executive producers and Associate
Executive producers for producing episode 1209 of the
best podcast in the universe. We have more people thank meet up
reports coming in the second second half of show and we will
be here again on Thursday. If you'd like to support us go to
devora.org/and
a live thing that you can use a lot of the information to be
very lucky in business our formula is this
we go out we get people in the mouth
is key Okey doke
bars going down bars going down? What's going
boy? bars going down? Oh, oh, I gotta play some fun for you.
This is fun. This, we're going back to the debate. And this is
the Hot Mic clip that CNN released. So we had Bernie and
Elizabeth Warren going out at the end, and you call me a liar
on national television. And when you couldn't hear that during
the original debate at the end, you could just see Bernie
extending his hand was Warren's pissed off. There's clearly
something going on Tom Steyer standing there like a dope and
just listen to the audio higher thing is still the key to this
whole thing to me
is listen to the audio again.
A liar on national TV. I think you called me a liar on national
TV. Let's not do it right
now. Whatever that discussion will
have. You're called meal and you told me I don't wanna get milk.
I just want to say hybrid.
Now, what was very interesting is that this was obviously we
certainly deconstructed it to be a a move on CNN part to push
Bernie out. That was the whole argument about could a women
when a woman wins the election, and then you know, this happened
at the end. No one heard it. Oh, crap. We got to make Bernie look
even stupider that let's get the audio out and it appeared in a
report on CBS with I think this is Nora spoken to Senator
Warren.
Either Senator Bernie Sanders nor Senator Elizabeth Warren.
I have no further comment on this. I
wanted to discuss what everyone else is talking about their
confrontation after Tuesday night's debate, told me a liar
on national TV. called me a liar on national TV.
Looks like do it right now. You want to have that discussion?
We'll have that discussion. You called meal and you told me
the disagreement stems from whether he wants told
now did you hear a difference? I shall play that this doesn't
Nora O'Donnell obviously. I'm gonna play the CBS report
snippet again.
Their confrontation after Tuesday night's debate
told me a liar on national TV. called me a liar on national TV.
The original audio as played by this show on the previous
programme is different. A liar on national TV you see she she
messed it up she said a liar on national TV.
I think a liar on national TV. I think you called me a liar on
national TV.
So I don't know why. But they decided to double the exact same
piece instead of the original clip.
I remember it as I think it called me a liar on national TV
not I think a liar or whatever she said there. But I the first
part was extremely garbled and you couldn't hear it. I think
there's even a third version of this, but it's Yeah, I don't
know. I read this. Just to clarify. I don't think it I
don't think it was a miss. I don't think it was illegal quote
unquote.
Well, maybe not illegal trying to
make it. I don't think they needed to repeat it. I think
they just couldn't they couldn't just use the one Yeah. Now. Now
the thing about this I finished is that CNN doubled down by
having a body language person on to discuss this. Did you get it?
I have it. Yeah.
Is it the one from YouTube? Is it that lady? Oh, no.
This is from what I've never seen this. Before. She's the
best Jen. This is a woman named Janine and the clip. If you want
to queue it up is unfortunate. I spelled it hon Nene, I believe
or something stupid. Or I got Nani Dr. Body language. But
anyway, the thing that I noticed about this or I was thinking
about and I'm glad you got that other clip from CBS. And I
pointed this out in the newsletter that The New York
Times in particular has been going after Bernie at David
Brooks came out with a column saying but Bernie's a jerk. And
then did New York Times has a reporter that just goes after
Bernie they every day are now pulling out the all the weapons
they can to submarine Bernie's campaign. They don't play as
Bobby's they don't play as his rallies because they're just not
going
to do that. Well, the rallies have numbers, they look great.
And yeah, they've got big numbers and God forbid, God
forbid we get the election we deserve in America put the
socialist
making sure Bernie doesn't really have much of a chance and
but he still keeps his numbers up. So they've got to do all
these other things. This particular analysis is quite
interesting. And of course it makes they make it clear that
Bernie is a liar.
Scandals hurt you more when they seem plausible, right?
This is not CNN. This is our favourite Joy read show on
MSNBC. Bernie Sanders does have a thorough physicality
you know when he when he talks that is a shaking your fingers
at Hillary Clinton shaking your finger push shoving weirdy you
know his physicality makes me think yeah, he could have said
you know, listen, I think in this environment a woman can't
wait that doesn't seem like a first of all, I think I think
Bernie's lying. We see him he structures forward anyway joy,
but here he turtles if you look at his eye level when he turtle
the If he does do that he isn't turned against like it head goes
down and shoulders come up just she,
she makes the assertion and this is an interesting one to look
for. If your eyes dropped below your shoulders because you've
dropped your head down your turtling. Yeah, that is an
indication of a liar.
Boy. So he's a reptile. This is the best part,
not only answers questions, when he makes the denial, his whole
shoulders come up like a little kid getting caught, his eye
level is below his shoulders. This is trying to hide in plain
sight. And many of us we don't know what to look for. So if you
look for this right out of the gate, in the strongest denial is
simply saying no. And I think women in particular, we want to
believe human beings. So we're like, yeah, I would I would say
that he literally said, Well, as a matter of fact, I didn't say
it. That's nine words unnecessary. No. Did you vote
for Donald Trump in the last election? Absolutely. No. No.
Did you dress up as an Easter Bunny and Easter? Absolutely no.
Right. So it's no we say no, absolutely. It's actually not
the strongest now you're you're playing with me here in the
game, but at least you're getting the no one here. We're
not hearing the no with Bernie. Also with Bernie. He has
numerous hotspots. He says, Well, liars like to start with,
well, he looks away he laughs I think you might have been
coached to laugh in this moment. A lot of politicians are coached
to laugh in the difficult times. So we're focused on the
laughter. It's supposed to send a message that this isn't
serious. It is serious. If he said it, which I believe that he
did, he would have been better to just own it. You know, Barack
Obama wrote a book years ago, years ago, and he said what in
the book, he tried cocaine and marijuana, and he never touched
the stuff again, we never talked about it when he was president
after that. It just disappeared. We wouldn't be talking about a
six day celebrity you did the opposite.
What does that say about you mainstream media that you've
never talked about it? We talked about it? Was that Larry
Sinclair talked about it quite extensively. President Obama
apparently was smoking a lot of things back in the day. Yes, I
don't really have in what I do. Have, I finally got the super
cuts analysis. What the? The M 5am. Thought of the debates and
this is pretty much all MSNBC, CNN, PBS, CBS, NBC,
this was not the type of night of ambition. We expected. It was
a dull and plotting debate.
There weren't a lot of fireworks. Was it fiery?
Did you know Could you feel the crackling in here?
No, not really even any pointed questions. We saw no one swing
big. Nobody looked good on the debate stage and night for me
was dispiriting caution was the most active participant. The
Democrats got to do better what we saw tonight, I want this race
to get tougher. But Is anybody competent? Looking at these
people? There was nothing I saw at night that would be able to
take Donald Trump out his race has been gentle. And whoever
comes out the other side is running against Donald Trump.
Was this going to condition the ultimate nominee to take on the
beast that Donald Trump is everybody's weakest
performance? If you can't take on and take charge in the
debate? What gives people the confidence you can do that with
Donald Trump?
I'm feeling the swamp come in. Here she comes. By the way, I
did that at the table last night. I said Hillary is gonna
swoop in didn't bat and I thought it was normal that I did
that. So Hillary is now pretty much owning Sundance festival.
Everybody's talking about the Hillary documentary, which airs
on Hulu, march 6, which is just the timing is just just kind of
beautiful. If you're interested, I can play the trailer with ever
new trailer out some of the audio I think the the
particularly the end of this trailer really tells you what
she's thinking
provoke strong opinions. Ready? There's so much to talk about. I
didn't grow up thinking about going into politics, but much to
my surprise, was elected president of the public and I
got into law school. I thought I'm going to try to make a
difference in people's lives.
I took a class and I saw Hillary sitting.
And he was watching me and she closed the Law Group. They said
if you're going to keep looking at me, and I'm going to keep
looking back, we ought to know each other's names. I'm Hillary
Rodham, who are you
Jews different than anybody I remember us. I really want to
marry you but you shouldn't marry me.
There is a set of expectations about a First Lady. I violated
them from the very beginning. She brought to the forefront
women's roles in society. This is
radical feminism. We decided to ask Hillary to become Secretary
of State surprised people. Hillary's polarising.
Human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human
rights If people
run up clutching copies of that speech reciting that line from
it,
email, email, mails, bang, it played into all of this
suspicions, she's so sketchy
hold and calculating, you could actually be crazy.
There is this sense that she knows that she is an ethical
moral person, and that can blind anyone. You know, you get
scarred up a little bit.
But it wasn't like I thought, think about the most stupid
thing I could possibly do and do it
and didn't want anything to do with them. Chelsea put herself
between us and held both our hands.
As long as she has been in public life, there have been
these ups and downs, you know, be our champion, go away.
You want to make a difference? You want to have an impact?
Well, then you gotta get in the arena.
Did gotta get in the arena. I'm telling you, man, this is a
campaign.
How many if the trailer just has to have a bunch of these
hypnotic vamps, and then they play a kind of a lullaby thing
later in that trailer. I wonder if during the show itself,
they're going to be trying to trick us with music,
how to play that kind of music, and then just been this sucker
sin? Yeah. Well, what I'm always looking for is okay, what is
going to be the insurance policy this year? Because obviously,
the Senate is not going to kick the President out just seems
highly unlikely Anything could happen, and it'd be great for
the show, but it seems highly unlikely. We've already heard
the mainstream say that no one can take on Trump. None of these
guys can do it guys and gals. know everybody call him a beast.
Trump is who will take on Trump the beast.
So let's go to that clip. Sir, as I know it,
I know. I know. That's that's that was a that was on MSNBC
saying Trump is a beast. They can't beat him. So what is beast
mode? Beast Mode? What is the what is the plan? Let's go to
the Council on Foreign Relations, shall we? They
usually have some ideas when they're on drinkin in the club,
Jane Harman stands up and asks a question of a panel discussing
this very issue. And she injects some interesting concepts.
So we haven't talked about any potentially catastrophic events
that could happen between now and the election, such as
another major terrorist attack, Major 911 style attack, which
maybe not that but close enough, or massive Russian
disinformation campaign, clearly identified but massive, really
creating doubt in many states about whether the election was
fair, and who voted and all that if those things happen.
Especially given the fact that we have acting everybody in the
homeland department and so on. How does that affect the
election?
What do you think of this? What do you think of what how does
your brain even work? Well, obviously, the only thing that
could still disrupt this is, you know, like a 911. So not
exactly, but kind of like a 911 style attack where lots of
people did. And, you know, the Russians actually changed the
votes. What Why does this woman even think this way? This is?
Anyway, she's always creeped me out. I think she's a reptile for
sure.
Here's the answer. Great question.
Great question.
On the terrorist saw that question, a lot would depend
upon what happened, how it happened, how close to the
election, who is seen as being responsible for it? Is it clear,
for example, that the administration failed in some
way or failed in with its immediate response? So there's a
lot of factors that would play it out. But going back to this
issue of whether doubts are raised about the legitimacy of
the vote totals, if you're asking sort of look at one wild
card that could really unsettle American politics, I think it's
exactly that. And you don't actually need to have anyone
penetrate a the electoral rolls, or to change the vote, if people
believe perhaps because of disinformation, that somehow a
vote count wasn't actually accurate. And that would matter
obviously, the most, if you have a very close election, I mean,
imagine a state in which it holds the balance the electoral
college about, you know, less than 1% margin, and there are
questions raised about whether the votes are accurately
tallied. That would be I think, a problem that would have a very
long shelf life, which is why I would hope that we as a country
would have taken much greater steps to ensure our election
security.
Now it's just a drinking club, that just you know, shooting the
breeze shooting from the hip that just spitballin but, you
know, that would be an obvious tactic is to say the Russians
change To the actual votes take us back to hanging chads and
stuff like that. And then then manual counts and recounts that
you can just see it coming down Broadway, they're coming up with
another truly disinformation. Here's some
something else going on parallel to this, which is if you haven't
put in, you know, to analyse it well, but everybody and their
sister is going after Zuckerberg.
Yeah Even boss. Even Biden said he does he doesn't like Zucker
Berg.
They it's always the lefties. The right wing is like said,
Well, you know, whatever. They don't like Facebook. They don't
like its influence, but the left seems to be adamant about and it
seems to go like this. I don't understand Wiles why Zuckerberg
isn't with us, us, huh? Wow, the Google boys are what can
I just because I actually watched two hours of anti trust
hearings, which I have a clip for maybe after the second half.
The main issue seems to be that face bag has decided not to
censor or take down political ads. That may not be factually
correct. In fact, the New York Times wrote, and I have it in
the show notes somewhere. I'll paraphrase it. New York Times
wrote, I mean, it's, you know, while Donald Trump blatantly
lies in ads about, you know, Joe Biden, face bags, not taking it
down. So I think that's where a lot of this anger stems from.
Yeah,
I think there's, well, they're definitely two but that's again,
they're targeting him to the New York Times is now I'd make the
thing that can't be overlooked. When you discuss the New York
Times, or even the Washington Post or any of them targeting
Facebook is because Facebook is eating their advertising lunch,
and also stealing money from the big boys
who also were Twitter, the dumbbells that they are so we're
not going to do any political ads during the season. I think
that is the number one advertising event in the United
States is an election. election season billions of dollars.
Billions, mainly going online now and the least 70% I think is
going to be spent online.
Dumbbells. That's about it.
Yeah. Oh,
we're not gonna take any money. Oh, no. Jack Dorsey had to go to
be asked Elon Musk, what do you think? What would you do if you
ran my company? What did Elon say? I can't remember. It wasn't
anything serious. Oh, man, like Yeah, I know what he said. Ilan
said get rid of all the bots and you'll be fine. But that was a
serious to me. No. But yeah, there's a dumbbell if he doesn't
want to be political advertising is is a bonanza is the money. So
the Les Moonves investor call a couple of number of years ago
where he goes on and on bragging about how much money they made
during the last election cycle.
Let's let's go play that clip. The
advertising climate couldn't be better right now. And I've never
seen it this odd for a number of years. Third quarter scatter was
phenomenally good. And fourth is even better than that. So as the
year ends, and we move into 16, guess what, in 16, we have an
extra AFC champion playoff game. We have the Super Bowl and we
have a year of political advertising. That looks like
it's shaping up to be pretty phenomenal. You know, we love
having all 16 Republican candidates throwing crap at each
other. It's great. The more they spend the better it is for us
and go Donald keeps keep getting out there. And you know, this is
this is fun, you know, the, you know, watching this let them
spend money on us and we love having them in there. We're
looking forward to a very exciting political year in 16.
Isn't it interesting that Les Moonves got hashtag knee tude?
Yep, laughter
says Oh,
Donald, next thing you know, he's out. He's out.
Oh, yeah, I'll show you.
Want you to name one of the women who he Louis. costed or
anything? Is there anybody that you can think of? I don't know.
Yeah, it
was one of the older women. It was like in her. I think she's
in her mid 50s. And then same age as me. She was in accounting
or something or within the company, but apparently he he
was quite the Yeah, the mover and shaker within the
corporation. Well, he had to go. Yeah, he had to go but that's
exact Please. So here's Jack Dorsey. No, we won't take your
money. Okay, short face bag, I mean, Twitter. And the bag is
the bag. They just keep it. But Oh yeah, well,
you know, whatever it was ever blah, blah, blah. If you don't
like what these guys are advertising to do some
advertising and be your own.
Since since it came up, there was an antitrust hearing. I was
several hours and it was held in Colorado for some reason.
Apparently, they had these trials in the field, I think
they call them. And so they, they bring in people and it was
against Apple. It was software guys like, oh, you know, Apple,
you know, we can't, we can't really even do it and make money
off of our software. Apple wants 30% from the App Store. If we
even put a link in the app, you know, they may may take it off,
you know, the, they have too much power, too, which I say
well, their phone their system, you know, go make a phone.
Google, of course, was under the gun. The most interesting, I
think was Amazon, who was really turning out to be, you know, a
true Evil Corp. And we've discussed this again, just one,
this is the CEO, his name is Barnett of popsockets. And
popsocket. Is the that's the phone case you put on your
smartphone, and then the button pops out. So you can hold on to
it. It's very popular with women. So they can walk around
shopping with their bags with
a bunch of these got it?
Well, right. So the the original popsockets, which is patented
trademark, but patented, for sure. And yeah, this is this is
a big item, like 170 million units. So sold. But this guy
explains how Amazon operates. And we'll I'll play it's not
that long. I'll play this and then we can discuss it if
necessary.
So we started our direct relationship with Amazon, about
a year and a half into business. So the middle of 2016, we
started selling product to Amazon, Amazon, in turn would
sell our product on the marketplace. It was immensely
successful. Within five months, Amazon became our largest
customer. And we became one of Amazon's most significant
players in the mobile, mobile electronics accessory category.
We were popsockets was the number three search term at some
point on Amazon. So we had immense success. But despite the
success, we we never felt like we had a genuine partnership
with Amazon. So the problem of counterfeits is the first
problem we'll talk about, we had enormous amounts of fake
product, they were taking our sales, creating bad customer
experiences. And of course, it was illegal. So illegal activity
on behalf of those selling them. And when Amazon was the seller,
Amazon was clearly engaged in this illegal activity and
multiple times, we discovered the Amazon itself had sourced
counterfeit product and was selling it alongside our own
product. For a year and a half, we requested the Amazon take
some action, some serious action, and just require
evidence from sellers that they were selling authentic product
after a year and a half. Finally, in exchange for about
1.1 point $8 million of retail marketing funds, which my my
team deemed ineffective. Amazon agreed to work with their brand
registry to department to require this evidence.
So the way it works now on Amazon, is if you want to
actually have your product, in this case, the guy's original
product, not imitate imitation. If you want that to even show
up. You have to buy ads on Amazon. And these guy, I mean,
it's it's pretty brazen, what they're doing is like, okay, so
we have a store and you're in the store and then you're very
popular in the store, then we're going to promote other products
either like yours, or complete rip offs and illegal product.
And if you don't like it, well we can change that. But you have
to advertise advertising for Amazon's own store. This genius
is truly Evil Corp.
It's just pretty bad. Yeah. Oh my goodness, these kinds of
business scams which are pretty hard to regulate. I don't know
what you do about it. I mean, you owe nothing at Amazon
because it pulls stunts like this or just are you going to
try to make yourself aware so you don't buy the scam product?
Yeah, they sold all kinds of crazy stuff that is no good. I
mean, I remember there's a company that was selling memory
sticks. That would when you plug them in and says you got two
gigabytes, but it's only like 128 Meg's because it was some
trick that was going on in a day so lots of them and before that
took them off the market. I'm reminded of the book publishing
business which I was involved in enough so that when Pearson
publishing started buying up all the computer presses, they
bought all of them. They bought Prentice Hall, they bought
Macmillan, and they own Q. And if you had a best seller, if you
had wrote a book that was like a real hot book, they would have
Q, do a kind of a copy or a clone of the book. And then they
would promote that. Because with Q it was all all the writers who
just paid per book, they were never paid royalties.
Right? Right, right. You got money on royalties?
Well, let's just shove our interests over to the queue book
where it nobody's getting any royalties, we sell more books,
and then it would they would put their, their promotion behind
the queue book. This goes this sort of thing goes on constantly
in business is just horrible. Microsoft used to be known for
stealing people's ideas and making kind of cheap copies of
them and putting people out of business, right?
Well, in this case, though, people have put all of their
trust and their product and and everything into Amazon. And it's
putting businesses brick and mortar businesses out of
business. People have to start learning to support businesses
directly I guess. If they want them to stick around otherwise
these things will go away. That's that's just the market
forces going
away. There's public isn't. The public's conscientiousness is
lacking? Yeah.
Oh my God, no more top holders. What will we do? What will we
do?
I'm going to show my school by donation to no agenda.

the sides. Oh, you didn't sign up fast enough you did to do
this. You got to do that you got to jump through hoops. Yeah,
because it's all arbitrary because because you weren't
calling the shots yourself. These guys had a bunch of
arbitrary rules and what you had to do and all the rest of it, it
was just it was just barriers that made it so you couldn't
really do a lot of meetups because the reflect the it was
just it was just too rigid. It was too restrictive. There's no
agenda meetups and doing stuff yourself this way we we have our
own servers for the for our
show and I just like to mention this is another excellent
example of the value for value system our value for value
network Daniel Tomash set up no agenda meetups.com And you know
that's his contribution and he took away all the headache and
look at the result I cannot agree with you more
and mentioning and we must have mentioned me me who does
probably a lot more work than she should.
Well, no but we definitely need to mention Mimi I kidding there
but the point is is that this is the kind of thing that it just
shows you that if you if you don't you go into these these
Silicon Valley ideas and just following following along as
your Gmail and meetups.com and all these other systems and they
always end up failing at some point leaving you in the lurch
um this what bothers me about LinkedIn Yeah, I mean LinkedIn
when I first joined them, you could download your your your
contact list and and maybe use it in a in your own address
system or whatever you wanted to do. And they would have the
email addresses they stopped giving you the email addresses
of your own contacts and download you get anything.
For years all we do is instal apps and say I would like access
to your contacts is that okay? For years we've been giving
Silicon Valley our contact and now they're saying no maxis.
Yeah,
douchebags. LinkedIn is a pathetic shell of itself because
of that one factor. And I would not advise people to join it
even though they're not going to stop because it's a good way to,
you know, build up a lot of people following you're
following them pick up chicks now. pick up chicks. Yeah.
That was an interesting article in The New York Times, which was
shared widely. And I'm, I think, most no agenda producers were
not surprised by this. But the rest of the world suddenly
figured out that wait a minute, it's very easy to figure out who
you are based on facial recognition. In fact, the New
York Times even wrote this secretive company that might end
privacy as we know it, brother, and the company is called
ClearView ai do something very simple. scraped all of the
social media sites. Now face bag, probably LinkedIn if I'm
sure you can scrape some YouTube Venmo all kinds of sites to
gather you know, when you're when you have a party, ladies,
I'm looking at you and you take a selfie with with your squad.
And then you tag everybody to this company went in and said,
Oh, look, there's a photo with tags of people, and then put it
in their database, you posted it online. So it's very, very
appropriate for them to use that and store that in their
database. And using very simple facial recognition, you can just
say, hey, here's a photo of someone, we got it off a close
closer TV, we got it off, you know, whatever it is, you put it
into the machine, and it then spits out your name and links to
everywhere that your name has appeared on Facebook, YouTube,
Twitter, etc, etc, Instagram, and 600 law enforcement agencies
are using this. And apparently the New York Times was
surprised, as were many people what? You gave the information
to the world. And now and I love the headline secretive company.
Is that a secretive company? The guy's name is Tom tot
hunt Taun Taun Taun. Top and just throw it together. Yeah.
It's an obvious thing to do as a price is a big shock to anybody.
Yes. It'd be very naive, who was the tech writer who wrote that?
What was who was now hold on? Let
me check it out. The right the tech tech writer, tech writer,
the tech writer, Kashmir Hill,
whose Kashmir hill I have never heard of them.
Sure. Kashmir Hill is a tech reporter based in New York, she
writes about the unexpected and sometimes ominous ways
technology is changing our lives, particularly when it
comes to our privacy. She joined the New York Times in 2019,
after having worked as an investigative reporter at
Gizmodo Media Group, and to right
at his moto investigator group.
editor at fusion, her writing has appeared in The New Yorker
in The Washington Times Oh, she gave a TED Talk. In 2018, she
gave it her TEDx. It just says TED talk what your smart devices
know and share about you in which she described what
happened talks have devolved into that in which she described
what happened when she transformed her apartment into a
smart home and monitor the data being sent out of it. Well,
let's see. She may be lying about that. Let's see if it was
a TED talk or TEDx? Because that would be funny.
Ted, for women, there's Ted for women. What is that? Other
little offshoot?
It was a tear. Oh, no, it is? No, it's a business. Let me see.
Here it is. See, is this a tip? No. It's a proper Ted. It's a
proper Ted Ted proper. Not a shed
a TED Talk to discuss the mundane and the Bunnell
Yep. She got it last year. Wow. Yeah. Or no, a year a year ago.
820 18. Yeah.
Anyway, that talks about you know, worms growing in the in
your walls or something, you know, more interesting.
Now the European Union is looking at a temporary ban on
facial recognition in public places. This is good. In fact, a
lot of countries are doing much better than we are. I got a note
from one of our producers who is in the field of RBA robotics
process automation, which I cavalierly called Screen
Scraping. This goes back to the the company plaid which all of
your financial apps are tied into. The way they manage your
bank account is by you stupidly enough giving your login and
password to the company so that they can then do anything they
want profile. They could do anything that you can do in
front of your computer, logging in yourself. They in fact, they,
they replicate the human being a few things he wanted to share
with us this tech is far beyond screen scraping. The tools are
capable of using image recognition, optical character
recognition, handwriting recognition, neuro linguistic
programming to some degree machine learning to simulate a
human user as much as possible. popular platforms are blue prism
UiPath, automation anywhere, but now Microsoft is also entering
the field. So what can they do give an access to an account
with credentials, absolutely anything that user can do, and
likely more with permission from the target company, which would
be your bank. They're not defeated by Citrix environment
automation prevention measures, although they are slowed by it.
They can use everything we mentioned, as well as DOM DLM,
which is Document Object Model manipulation, JavaScript
injection API's, anything you can think of they can use as
data or a data connector. Australia, interestingly, has
legislated against this.
They are
that's called the consumer data right? Under this legislation,
eventually, all industries, not just banks will need to create
standard API's that give customers the right to share
their data with the apps. The legislation gives the customer
the right to explicitly control what data is shared, what it is
used for, and they can require it to be deleted at any time. Of
course, this is not possible with plaid, even if you leave
them they still have. By the way, I think the easy way to get
rid of if you don't if you want to make sure that plaid can't
log into your bank account is change your password and put in
two factor authentication. That seems to stop them dead in their
tracks. Now you won't be able to use Venmo Cash App Robin Hood,
acorns coin base, everything that you do money with on your
phone, but I think the no agenda show would recommend this as a
good thing to do is to leave
I have a really good idea for people who need to do this kind
of thing. Okay. Actually carry cash. Still, they're still
available. It's old fashioned.
Well, you're gonna give cash to your buddies to settle the bill
of drinks. No, no, we can't have that
cash. And we keep a couple of hundos in your wallet. You look
like a big shot.
We we missed our opportunity once again, even though we
should have both understood this I'm very mad, mad. Our exit
strategy once again been thwarted. We've been usurped.
We're idiots. We learned years ago that every single website
that performs a public service does not necessarily have to be
a nonprofit or governmental website, but a public service
would have to have everything annotated for the for the death,
which means all videos need to have subtitles. There's more
that needs to be this is Americans with Disabilities Act
regulations. Yeah. And we've already seen companies getting
sued over this. Can you believe that we missed this one? A deaf
man filed a lawsuit against Pornhub Yeah, he's and he I
think I think he can make this stand up in court to coin a
phrase to and that will that can you imagine how much work that
will be? To create all of these all porn videos make sure they
have subtitles and we also have to have ADA regulations for for
the blind you need to have man walks in with pizza. Woman opens
door scantily clad that has to be in that's going to be a law.
It's going to be a regulation. Yeah. I agree. We should have
been suing them. This witness has no agenda written all over
Mueller. I happen to have hearing aids it's just a
coincidence. I can't hear it. I need help.
Yeah, we missed the boat. I do have a clip blitz for the end of
the show if you want yeah, actually, let's let's roll up
the wheel that's the that's the that's that's that's the clip
blitz wheel. Wow. Okay, red.
Three red 33 Clip Blitz. Good. Please. All
right, let's start with Putin stays in office.
Russia's government abruptly resigned today, after President
Vladimir Putin proposed sweeping changes to his country's
constitution that could keep him in power after his term ends in
2024. The amendment would also give the Russian Parliament
greater authority in your state of the nation speech in Moscow,
Putin insists that his overall proposal follow the law.
He's not regulated. The amendments do not affect the
fundamental basis of our Constitution, which means they
can be approved by parliament within the framework of the
current law through the adoption of the corresponding
constitutional laws.
Hours later, a Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and his entire
cabinet quit, Putin tapped Mikhail new Schuiten who is head
of the Russian tax service to be the next prime minister.
Me too in China,
a journalist and leading activist in China's fledgling me
to movement was free today after three months. Human Rights Watch
said that 30 year old Sophia Wang Shu and Shin had been
detained on a charge known as suspicion of provoking trouble.
She had reported on the me to movement, sexual harrassment in
the Chinese workplace and on the protests in Hong Kong.
flew in Kansas City. Oh shoot.
Sorry, I dropped your clip. And the flu is affecting
children particularly hard this season. A rare strain of the
virus is going around. And it is proving deadly. KCTV fives Casey
Jones is live and she's been investigating exactly why this
year. The season seems to be so bad. She's live now from
Children's Mercy on Broadway. Casey.
Here at Children's Mercy. They've been seeing a lot of
type B flu cases. That's right on trend with national numbers.
Most deaths and hospitalisation in children have been linked to
this type beat. So doctors say to reduce their likelihood of
ending up here a vaccine is the answer
to the three red 33 complaints complaints.
Lunar New Year
celebration, millions of Chinese began heading home today in the
world's largest annual human migration, travellers crowded
train stations and airports bound for reunions with family
so they can celebrate the Lunar New Year together on January
25th.
Through to do one more China population up and down. Okay.
In China officials announced that the population grew again
last year to 1.4 billion, even though the birth rate actually
fell to its lowest level in 70 years. Meanwhile, the working
age population declined. But the number of those over 60 grew
they now make up 18% of the total Chinese population that's
it
let's zoom in our clip bullets for January 19 2020. You are up
to date with all the news that matters in our
blood you know what's kind of funny about the one of the clips
there's a lot of moves from obviously Judy, on PBS but was
the one about and I didn't notice this until I just heard
it, which is this concept that the Chinese they when they
celebrate the Chinese New Year they have a big migration. Yes.
Yeah, people in his party. But the wordage is they're heading
home. Hmm. Now normally when you're celebrating some say
we're going to celebrate something you go out, you go
out, you go out. You're not you don't the beginning of the
migration is not heading home. So So that implies that all
these millions of Chinese that are gonna go celebrate Lunar New
Year. Guard ha home they're all you know, in some bucks card
minute some places anywhere but home. They're at Foxconn.
Foxconn where there's a million employees.
Yeah, they're, they're, you know, they're trying not to look
into the nets that will catch them if they jump out a window.
Unbelievable. I do want to bring us up to speed. And let's see,
there were there were actually some good hearings. So the
Colorado antitrust hearing was it was kind of boring. It was it
was offside it was a you know, the hearing in the field, but
there was also a hearing about Afghanistan. Now apparently
we're very close to or according to the top livan who have
tweeted, what a world What a time we live in. The Taliban has
tweeted, that looks like we're ready to sign a deal. Sometime
this coming week. The President has been talking about this. But
of course, we've been too busy with drop, and Lev and, and
cronies and Giuliani. Here's a report. It is one of the few
reports that could find about what was going on with the
inspector general. We know the the Afghan papers came out. The
war has cost trillions of dollars, immeasurable value in
lives, that everyone has been lying. We've been shafted
horrifically by three presidents. Now this will be the
third one. Nobody seems to care because Trump, Orange Man bad.
Here's the voice of America's report.
John Sopko, Inspector General of an independent government
watchdog created by Congress to combat waste and abuse in the US
reconstruction effort in Afghanistan. Sherman told the
House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday, a persistent
incentive to lie about your progress on the ground and hurt
us efforts in Afghanistan.
You create from the bottom up and incentive because of short
timeframes. You're there for six months, nine months or a year to
show success that gets reported up the chain. And before you
know it the President is talking about a success that doesn't
exist. And I think that's a good issue to look at not whether
there was line. But why
the hearing comes one month after a Washington Post report
that government officials misled the public about us games and
Afghanistan for years and hid evidence that the war had become
unwinnable. The newspaper cited see guard documents as evidence.
But Richard Boucher, who served as Assistant Secretary of State
without Asia during the Bush administration says there was no
deliberate deception.
I think all of us tried to tell the truth in terms of what was
going on in the war, the difficulties that we were facing
the difficulties of getting things done in a chaotic
situation like the one in Afghanistan,
despite notable failures, experts say a rash exit from the
region could lead to deadly or outcomes. We're at
a stage where we know we want to withdraw, but we want to do it
responsibly. And that requires a negotiation process.
We are so the Trump administration has been
negotiating a peace agreement with the Taliban to finally
bring the war to an end.
Well, we shall see. But it's very very upsetting that no one
has certainly not the media who holds government accountable.
They don't seem to give a crap about it. I mean, there's
hearings going on there's clips for the for the grabbing.
There's people that talk to you can interview people it's just
like oh ho hum we you know how that goes silly. Oh, government
dickheads
Yeah, that's pretty much the summary there that
you nailed. You got anything for for we leave.
You want something funny or interesting? Yeah, it's funny
and kind of interesting. This is the story comes out of Kansas
City. It's actually I think, really taking place in Iowa. But
this is the trial by combat guy.
Tonight, a payola man is making headlines all over the world.
He's proposed throwing out a judge's gavel and settling a
custody battle with swords. He's asking a judge
for trial by combat.
You heard that right. And KCTV five
Betsy West retracted demand trial by combat.
We can all thank Game of Thrones for bringing attention to the
phrase trial by combat.
I've seen the television show and read the books.
That's what pail is David O strim. had in mind when he
submitted these court filings in Iowa over a protracted child
custody and money battle. The attention grabber Petitioner
demands the court sanction trial by combat to resolve these
disputes
are not interested in physically causing harm to anyone.
He says he's not violent or crazy but frustrated by what he
considers a system that in some counties specifically in his
case, he says is stacked against men when it comes to issues of
custody and financial support.
They've tried to ignore me not address equal custody. And I
think this puts a spotlight on them
I saw the reports about five minutes long but apparently this
guy's to have you can't get any attention. So he's done this and
now it's become a big issue and I was being examined for being
unfair to men. Ah, Brother, brother.
It's just one of those eye roller things like okay, that
was its clickbait clickbait. It's, this is how we do
clickbait on the no agenda show. We do it at the end of the show.
There's no benefits us. Is there any benefit just click bait just
click bait and that's our deconstruction for today as we
head towards the second half of the first month of 2020 Looking
forward to seeing you all back here again on Thursday. And

A long time ago, knew back then that Articles of Impeachment
would be filed. And I knew if I had the chance with all of his
incoherent rants, that may be a long shot. He'd resign. But
Mueller's report made me shiver with every finding and delivered
conviction was the evidence is inconclusive. I can't remember
if I cried when the Ukraine call leaked from inside. I handed out
those pins with pride day. VP, bmp was sent.
To the orange bad God, I took this letter to the Senate goes
to the President and then go from Ukraine will abroad saying
this is the impeachment I signed. This is the impeachment.
It's a hoax. Everybody knows that. As you know on December
18, the House of Representatives upheld as constitutional duty
and voted articles of impeachment against the
President of the United States, Donald Trump.
When I find that Donald Trump's in trouble speaking Nancy comes
