this is no agenda with the
drone star
state in the morning everybody
I'm Adam curry and from
Northern Silicon
Valley where I'm wondering if
this bird
poop is a gift from North Korea
I'm John Steed Evora all right
two
places to start from bird poop
or burger
boobs your call sir well I
don't have
much for the bird poop was a
one shot
although it was referring it was
referring to the meteor that
broke up
over the Marianas that thought
everyone
thought was maybe them would
mean well
of course in the middle of the
I think
Guam was hit by typhoon YouTube
typhoon
YouTube I don't know anything
about this
look it up I know there was a
typhoon
but I didn't know it was called
YouTube
I'd pretty sure it could be
wrong in
fact I was that was called I
heard the
report I never I never read
anything but
it's they she said YouTube and
I found
that in I did write that down
that story
is look here's here's a story
where lots
of people died and no one's no
one's
attributing it to climate
change much
because they don't have the
right
reporters and it's also brown
people you
know gives a shit house is not
important
not important I did want to
start off
our last show of the year just
with a
little simple deconstruction a
reminder
what the No Agenda show is here
to help
you with and that's just just a
little
bit disappointed that one of
the most
emailed articles over the past
few days
to started Thursday was the
estrogen in
the impossible burger which
apparently
is so much estrogen that it
will make
men grow
rests
hey you saw this yeah I did of
course
and of course everybody quickly
debunked
well but that's not that well
the
debunking is I guess if you'd
have to
eat four whoppers a day for you
know for
five years and then maybe maybe
you'd
have an a cup for whoppers
right then
what I was disappointed in is
that you
know where was the No Agenda
thinking
cap people if this is such an
easy one
and only we're too obsessed with
headlines and little synopses
and we're
not really doing the work
anymore it's
disappointing though you know
if you
look at all the stories there's
a source
for this report and the source
comes
from the tri-state livestock
news of
course also known as the
newspaper that
ranchers read and it came from a
veterinarian who to publish
this so not
even a research no I just want
people to
understand that you it's worth
looking
for two seconds and they meant
wow okay
now I understand what's going
on instead
everyone is online at least I
don't
think it really made it much to
mainstream because why would
any any
television station or newspaper
do
another at all those do a
negative story
about a Burger King that's not
going to
happen but online yeah online
it's just
no deconstruction pieces a
voice again I
can't I can't do it I can't do
the voice
it it's it's a natural talent I
can't
force it
welcome those of you who were
just told
this morning by Scott Adams on
his
periscope that you must listen
to the no
agenda show that was nice he
give us a
plug he did find it quick what
he
finally listened to his show
think
here's what I think happened
i'ma think
I'm gonna go listen to the
interview
they did with me was it last
week pretty
good show that I think about it
no I
believe what happened I've I
have not
heard it yet I have not looked
at it
because it happened just before
the show
started I think comic strip
blogger
at least he's taking credit for
it put
something into the chat and
said oh no
agenda show and Scott apparently
responded to that and said oh
yes no
agenda is a great podcast you
should go
and listen that's what I think
so good
worry well thank you comic
strip blogger
it was indeed you very good
work yeah I
don't what you have to do I'd
like to
remind everybody the no agenda
Christmas
album sir Chris Wilson's EP is
going to
be online for you know the full
12 days
of Christmas so you have a few
more to
get it link in the show notes
you can
find it any show notes calm and
it's
well worth it I have a great
end of show
mix from that album which is
the ring
doorbell hack so we'll be
listening to
that at the end of the show
ah and even though I thought it
would be
kind of hard to put a something
together
today there's some interesting
news out
there I'm glad you got it cuz I
ended up
getting caught up in a number of
retrospectives and I ended up
with some
old clips and I'll do a thing
later what
is this like you're going
mainstream on
me now you're gonna do like
like all the
m5m boys no I'm going meta
mainstream oh
so I took a listen for example
on the
media yes they had a day did a
retrospective of that one else
that's
right the worst I only listened
to it
the first minute and a half and
I was
like no and someone emailed it
to us and
was very enthusiastic about it
I think
or did I just misunderstand my
email Yod
really that bad well I mean if
you want
me to get into a couple clips
that I
didn't clip it too much but I
made my
own list of what they talked
about
because the clips are not
really that
great do you wanna if you want
to we can
do news or we can start off
with you
slamming than the mainstream
for this
that what do you think I rather
start
slamming okay I'm with you boy
let's
start slamming otm these well
don't say
Oh TM mm-hmm as opposed to in
the
morning
they have otm on the morning on
the
media on the media yeah well
the first
clip is this is what they've
learned a
lot on the media is a a radio
show
produced in New York City WNYC
I think
yes part of the NPR public radio
spectrum I've been on it and
when when
podcasting first kicked off
they had me
on the interviewed me yeah for
a little
bit does anyone have a clip of
this how
I'm sure it's out there I'm
sure they
have it in the archives without
it
anyway so it's the guy that's
the kind
of the fae producer comes on
and he
talks about what we've learned
we've
learned a lot and by the way
this is
really a prelude for him
begging for
money for the podcast they have
a
podcast
aside from the huge amounts of
money
they probably received from n
whatever
that that station is plus the
underwriters all the
underwriters they s
whatever you want to call it
but here we
go
o TM learned a lot 1 hey there
this is
John Hanahan ot I'm producer at
the end
of the year we like to comb
through our
archives they stop this is the
exact
moment where I turned it off I
remember
hearing this guy come on as one
of the
producers and like can you
imagine any
No Agenda producer talking like
that and
the enunciation hey there this
is John
Hannah Hannah Theon producer at
the end
of the year we like to comb
through our
archive or pull out some of the
new
words we've learned and this
year we had
a bumper crop Telos someplace
we are
bound to end up this is where
this
historic ox complex gets us
into trouble
disco girl comes from a nap
photo
editing app called disco
technical debt
is doing the quick and dirty
and not
really figuring out what things
need to
look like in the long term
clearly we
all learned a lot this year the
hell did
they just talk about learn
anything by
broadcasting still stuck at
combing
through the archives these
words that
you never heard of that were
important
somehow important and they and
then by
the way they continued with
more of
these went into a pitch oh okay
I didn't
believe me I the rest of its
indecipherable but then they
went into a
pitch for money and then they
went two
more words I never heard of as
though
this was all sort of some sort
of thing
so I gave up on that part and
moved into
their their big story decided
they're
gonna look at what the real big
stories
were and and the big trends for
the year
and in media and all the rest
we asked University of Chicago
historian
Kathleen Ballou to lay out some
of the
ideological fundamentals of the
white
power movement the notions that
motivated that shooter and
also the 2017 unite the right
rally in
Charlottesville Virginia
replace us what
does that even mean people in
the white
power movement see a whole
number of
social issues as fundamentally
being
about a threat to white
reproduction
abortion is a threat because it
might
kill white children immigration
is a
threat because of the threat of
hyper
fertile populations of color
over
running a white nation LGBT
rights and
feminism are a threat because
they might
encourage white women not to
bear white
children all of this is felt
not as a
soft demographic change but as
a real
apocalyptic threat Wow now just
this one
by the way should have been the
third
one but this fine is did over
they have
to be in order but white power
is one of
their big themes and it turns
out by
their logic the only reason
that all
these women are people anybody
men women
blacks Hispanics whoever
Catholics
doesn't matter the only reason
that
they're against abortion it's
not
because of some fundamentalism
or some
religious way so we need more
white
people yes because the white
thing it's
probably more babies of color
who were
aborted but I've you know who
cares
right it's this is better logic
for
their purpose that was a nice
one for
Christmas guys great so they
actually
believe this so that's one of
their big
issues they had other ones but
let's
play a couple I got two other
clips and
then we move on but here's
another
here's another big story this
is the one
on conspiracies even
apocalyptic we all
crave explanations for things
we don't
understand so some of us fill
in the
blanks with conspiracy theories
we dug
into that with animal an author
of
Republic of Lies American
conspiracy
theorists and their surprising
rise to
power how can we weren't
interviewed
what the hell
was that there's a whole book
American
conspiracy series did you get a
call did
you get an email memo nothing
it used to
be that far-right conspiracy
theories
went from fringe sites some of
them
actual disinformation sites to
eventually places like FoxNews
and
that's sort of where they
stopped and
now they have another stuff
which is
they go from Fox News to the
president
or from fringe sites like
Infowars
straight to the president like
my props
to the president or from fringe
sites
like Infowars straight to the
president
and this problem continues to
get worse
and worse what is the logical
extension
of all of this this is good
John what do you think really is
happening in the world when it
comes
from info Warren Street to the
president
out-of-control tinfoil Henry
so one thesis is that especially
state-backed disinformation
sources like
the ones we've seen in Russia
like the
internet research agency except
that one
of their goals is to make the
information ecosystem so
chaotic and so
unstable and so unreliable that
people
start believing that the actual
objective truth is not knowable
and that
they should stop looking for it
oh no
conspiracies by the way only
right-wing
has never been a left-wing
conspiracy
Dora there all right wait wait
stop
Cooper the day for that one
just out of
it just definitely clip of the
day
yep touch through this whole
thing and
it all the culminated in Fox
News that's
right and it and and the other
route is
from Infowars direct to the
president
yeah
Alex Jones hotline to trump hey
listen
up tears with wait until you
hear my
update on Seth rich maybe we
can get in
next year's retrospective so
now we have
some other ones from Russia
Russia
Russia this is the big story
now this
was a little tougher to kind of
grasp
but it's called it this is
another major
trend according to these guys
on the
media there are media
deconstructors
inversion we're going to return
to a
couple of the year's biggest
themes for
us anyway and let's start with
one of
the first episodes of 2019
which we
called everything is fake
I spoke with New York magazine
senior
editor max read about the
endlessly
innovative ways the internet
messes with
our sense of how the world
works we know
that about 60% of traffic on the
Internet is human of the
remainder that
spots and then there's this
huge portion
of bots that are pretending to
be humans
to saying hello I am a user and
I would
like to see this advertisement
and click
on it and then I'm gonna walk
away from
here so what happens when a
facsimile
Internet where fake people
visit fake
websites and generate fake data
begins
to rival the size of the human
Internet
when the truth becomes so and
meshed
they're indistinguishable max
introduced
me to the term the inversion
which is a
take on what can happen so the
inversion
was a name that YouTube
engineers gave
to an event in 2013 when the
site was
under attack from fraudulent
bad traffic
YouTube like most platforms has
pretty
sophisticated fraud detection
systems
but those systems work by
identifying
real and fake traffic in part
based on
the percentages on the site
this attack
was so large that it was
brushing up
against about 50% of the
traffic and the
engineers were genuinely
worried that
their systems would start to
regard real
traffic as fake and fake
traffic as real
how why they work with machine
learning
so they take
samples of behavior and they
can say the
majority of our users act like
this and
the minority act like this and
so this
minority is likely robots so if
the
majority at least on a given
day is
robot the machines say well
that's the
legitimate traffic that's the
traffic
that's supposed to be here all
these
BOTS and all these silly humans
who are
trying to watch videos we need
to kick
them off the service oh this is
a good
story
I like this inversion because
of course
in the advertising internet the
inversion is complete it's been
going on
for years for years people have
been
fundraising ripping off
advertisers with
nothing but fake traffic this
is not new
did you call the company called
monopoly
was that the name of the
company like
monopoly know what I know I
know what
you're talking about but no it
was a it
was in Florida yeah you call
them up
well I need some traffic I need
some
traffic are the only thing the
only
reason for this story is to say
don't
advertise on the internet
advertise with
us you can trust us you can't
trust that
YouTube thing there was that
element but
they did mention that this
story dates
back to 2013 so it's not really
a 2019
anything right so this kind of
a fake
hmm so anyway they went on with
other
things the white power was a
really
major major theme yes and as
you know I
noticed all these left doing
operations
of white supremacy white
supremacy white
supremacy all these left-wing
operations
without exception including
these guys
all over looked at one of the
really
great events of 2019 that would
that was
media related in fact it was
media
driven mm-hm
jussie Smollett if not a single
one
brought it up huh
nope huh go figure
no you're stunned the kind of
stunt
[Music]
racist I should play that the
end of the
show again
yeah so they missed that one
entirely it
wasn't a big story John no one
really
talked about it wasn't on the
news at
all with note that we didn't
have
newscasters crying I see you
mika
brzezinski crying please yeah
well while
those guys were jacking off to
themselves WikiLeaks released
some
actual newsworthy information
it's been
going on for a few days but
they finally
got what I consider the mother
lode of
this document dump of the
Office of
prevention of chemical weapons
the OPCW
which is a no big un outfit and
their
reports actually they're
independent I
believe no they're in The Hague
though
they're mmm okay independent of
what I
think they're I think they're
more
closely aligned with the EU
than they
are the UN uh could be could be
there's the documents and
emails where
the chief of cabinet at OPCW
instructs
that an engineering report you
removed
from the secure registry which
is their
archive and here's an email
please get
this document out of the
documents
registry archive and please
remove all
traces if any of its delivery
storage or
whatever in Dra
and it just keeps on going on
that these
cylinders that were found at
duma that
apparently were the chlorine
gas that
killed all these children there
was a
big fat hoax and the reports
their own
reports stated very clearly
symptoms
observe observe were
inconsistent with
exposure to chlorine and no
other
obvious candidate chemical
causing the
symptom could be identified we
we drop
bombs over this yes a bunch of
missiles
over this because because trump
was
upset about the little children
yeah and
of course the no agenda show
yeah that
would be you and me yes we
identified
this as a whole
from the get-go cuz it'll do
because it
was illogical didn't make sense
and and
remember you had those you had
like the
rocket stuck in the in the
ground up
headfirst in the ground
unexploded like
thing with tail fins on it the
whole it
just looked bogus all the
reports we got
from people in the field said
it was
bogus
and this years ago two years
three how
many years ago was this it
wasn't that
long because it was early
within the
first year of Trump's two years
ago more
than more than ten years a
couple years
ago
yeah but why paying attention
to that
though it'd be crazy no I'll be
just
nuts all right supremacy so let
me let
me lay the smack on you about
South
Ridge something you know when
when
everything when the din dies
down in
media land around this time of
year when
everybody's off doing white
supremacy
and inversion retrospectives
sometimes stuff comes bubbling
up and
here's I've I found out about
this
really late last night and I
got up this
morning early I was trying to
listen to
a couple of podcasts understand
what's
happening there are a number of
journalists who claimed Seth
rich who
was the DNC staffer who was
shot and
subsequently died in DC which
I'm pretty
sure we still believe based on
reporting
from people like Seymour Hersh
that Seth
rich was probably the person who
exfiltrated the data from the
DNC server
and it looks like he was killed
over it
which oh I mean how could you
even think
this how could you even be so
stupid I
mean there's they're actual
people on
Twitter who registered new
accounts
every day just to come after
you and I
about the about our opinion
about this
so it's important to somebody
that that
that gets says that we had shut
up about
that and and the family was who
was
gagged
well more interesting the
brother of
Seth rich he's suing a number of
independent journalists not
even like
non-main Matt couch I think he
appears
on Fox from time to time a
number of
different journalists about
now but it says it's a civil
suit and
really all it's for if as I
understand
it is for discovery so this law
through
law firm Wilkie Farr has filed
civil
suits which kind of specious I
haven't
seen them but I'm just telling
you what
I've heard and I'm trying to
distill it
down into understandable
information
have sued a number of
independent
journalists or alternative or
whatever
you want to call them to invoke
discovery and get information
about what
they know what do you have what
did you
know about sets and then you
know
there's audio seymour hersh
saying that
he heard from an FBI source
that this is
what happened this firm will
key far
represents CrowdStrike in a
criminal
criminal suit which of course
is ongoing
regarding Ukraine etc so and
and and I I
guess we could have known this
but it
seems like this is the way that
some of
these big law firms work when
you're
when you have a client an
important
client and you're defending them
certainly in a criminal suit if
you want
to get any kind of extra
information
from players who were ancillary
to it
you just file an onsen civil
suit
against them and go into
discovery and
get as much as you can and some
of these
journals these alternate
journals are
not falling for it
here's the main thing I learned
that it
wasn't just the emails which
were actual
traded from the system which we
have on
authority from people like
beanie and
others who've looked at and we
did the
research on the Donny he used
math to
figure out that you couldn't
get this
information over the internet
at the
time of the considering the
connection
they had but what you have to
back up a
minute because you're going on
as if
we are expected to know what
the source
of this information is you have
not
really is it a podcast you said
yeah I
was one of these last guess was
it it's
uh Laurie says and I've never
heard of
her before she's uh I guess she
maybe it
seems like I don't know I guess
turns
out he has podcaster please very
credible I think she may be
friends with
Laura Loomer who I don't deem
incredible
you know she definitely has
done a
journalistic work in the past
but she
was talking about her
experience with
and up and this link in the
show notes
to her podcast about an hour
and she's
talking about if she's reading
the the
discovery demand she's received
and
she's laughing about them and
she
explains some of this but the
thing that
I was going to get to is that
according
to her and others who are in
this
lawsuit the thumb drive did not
contain
just the emails it contains an
image of
the server which is a pretty
damn big
thumb drive or a very small
server I
yeah it's possible though I've
done a
lot of work with VirtualBox and
all that
you can definitely image a
server on a
USB Drive yeah if it's 128 gigs
or that
might be enough I don't know
the state
of the server but that it was
not just
the emails which of course put
Hillary
Clinton and Donovan and
what's-her-face
Debbie wasserman-schultz put
them all in
a big pickle with the with the
Democratic with the
preliminaries with
the nominee where they had to
steal they
screwed birdie and it came out
on these
emails but apparently there was
voting
software stuff on it
algorithms for the voting
machines
documents about deployment of
this
software that's all I know it
doesn't
mean anything more or less than
that if
true it has very deep and it
makes a lot
of sense if it wasn't little
I'll give
you a couple of good research
some the
one part of it that makes kind
of sense
even though I don't know what
if she
even knows what an image is now
she's
very very unknown on
technically he for
example if you're dead if
you're sitting
and you have access and you're
putting
stuff on the thumb drive I
don't know
about you but I know I'm kind
of the way
I do things if I have a let's
say 500
and gigabit gigabyte thumb
drive and I
and I download 100 or 100
gigabits of or
gigabytes I'm sorry of emails I
got 400
gigabytes left I'm gonna just
put stuff
on it well so how about this I
mean
you're the one that introduced
me to a
Cronus and there's multiple
types of
software you install the
software
package you plug in a drive and
you say
mirror the drive right in fact
an
Acronis will mirror a drive and
I cuz I
back up my Tarab my terabyte
SSD which
is what I use on my main
machine I back
it up I'm not a great backing
up I
backup once a month and I use
the
cronniss to mirror the drive so
if the
thing ever blows up which SSDs
will do I
can just plug the other drive
right in
and I'm back in business I
might I may
be a few weeks lost a few weeks
of
material but it will do I it's
interesting to try to back up a
lot of
files onto tamo drive it takes
a long
time it's not gonna be fast
with a
cronniss using a USB 3 it takes
to
backup a terabyte takes about
an hour
and a half max and and you know
who
knows the size of the server
but also if
I'm gonna steal something it
would make
more sense depending it wasn't
a Windows
server I don't know what it was
was it a
UNIX server if you're just
going to
steal emails it's probably I
don't
you've ever messed around with
exchange
server let's say it was Windows
or even
with me with them with send
mail or
something like that you go in
and get
the the mail spool now none of
that's
gonna happen you just want to
mirror the
drive and get out of there I
think that
that would make a lot more
sense than
I'm just going to copy these
emails that
would take forever just to
remind us
longer than mirror into drive
so just to
remind us assume that these
guys I mean
they're running a terrible I
don't know
is at that point in time is this
I doubt if they had a big drive
I mean
it probably you know some
minimums like
something I wanted I don't know
but know
that regardless even if it
wasn't a
thumb drive it could have been
a USB the
SSD drive yeah just it's too
long to
play the whole thing but just
to remind
everybody those little drives
those
little plug-in drives from
Costco plug
it right into USB for fact seth
rich was
spotted at costco just two
weeks before
his untimely death seymour
hersh is an
award-winning journalist and
was fine i
didn't clip this podcast where
i got
this information from but the
woman who
was with just tory t o r e
she's like
well there's a couple other
people who
were also being sued by this
law firm
who represents CrowdStrike and
she goes
to delicious mat mat mat couch
you I
guess she knows hymns like
here's some
other guys in those seymour
hersh I
don't know who that is just
runs by yeah
yeah she runs by Seymour Hersh
she's
never heard of him
it just give us a quick
background on
Seymour Hersh
Seymour Hersh is the guy who
outed the
US government for the me lie
massacre
that's how he got started he
became the
number one and one of the top
investigative reporters in the
country
and has continued to work until
this day
when he has been sidelined by
the media
because no one wants to talk to
him cuz
he's got too much good stuff
they kept
they kicked him out of the New
York
Times and because this stuff
was too
revealing then he was running
for the
London Review of Books but then
they
couldn't take it anymore cuz
somebody
came knocking at the door
saying hey you
know you just saw broke this
guy's he's
no award-winning right he has
multiplied
you know he's won Pulitzer yeah
so he is
a and he's what he's incredibly
well
respected by the Lib Joe's and
so there
you have it ah well I'm going
to play a
bit of this clip which was
audio of him
explaining that the FBI told
him what
happened with Seth Ridge I'm
going to
play a little bit of it so you
can
swallow whatever you had in
your mouth
about the kid okay what I know
I know
comes off an FBI report don't
ask you
know how you can figure out of
it around
long enough the kid gets I
don't think
he was murdered I think I don't
think it
was murdered because of what he
knew the
kid say niceboy27 he was not an
IT
expert but he learned stuff you
the data
programmer but he learned stuff
and so
he's living on one Street
someone she's
so pretty even in a very rough
state of
it and in the exact area was
very bit
different about ten I'm sure
you noticed
it about eight or nine or ten
violent
stuff and I robberies no shit
with
somebody brandishing a gun and
it's big
his hands I'm telling you what
I'm sure
you know what his hands are
marked up
the cops included he fought off
the
people tried to run any shot up
try to
the backward of 22 small
caliber and
then they the kids who didn't
ram it got
scared didn't take it okay so
what'd the
cops do this and here's what
nobody
knows or I'm telling you maybe
you know
some above when you have a tip
like that
DC cops if you're ticked you
generally
don't just go yep or find out
what the
moat we're going on you have to
get to
the kids apartment and see what
you can
find if he's dead you don't
need a
warrant but most cops get a
warrant
because they
as a roommate you need it
warming so
they get a warrant I'm just
young there
is such a thing they go on and
how they
can't do much with its
computers pants
were the council not much about
it so
the DC cops they have a cyber
unit in DC
and they're more sophisticated
they come
and look at it the idea is
maybe he's
had a series of exchanges if
somebody
says I'm going to kill your
mother
fucker over a girl and they
can't get me
they are the cyber guys did a
little
better but they can't accept it
so they
call me they call the FBI cyber
unit at
DC the DC units of Washington
field
office is a hot-shit unit they
and the
same one they call Emma said
the time to
get through here so they find
this is
according to the FBI report
what they
find is he makes fun personal
you have
to know yesterday often note
some basic
facts with one of the basic
facts is no
there's no dmg will possess the
email
that that exists beyond May
22nd May
21st 2013 select email from
either one
of those groups and so this so
what the
report says and he makes
contact with
WikiLeaks that's in his
computer and he
makes contact now ok so it's
worth
listening to the whole thing
but so
there was actual proof
according to
Seymour Hersh who has some
believability
and credibility that the FBI
discovered
that he had been contacting
WikiLeaks
they had a Dropbox the
passwords have
been exchanged and it seems
like this is
a story that gets so much
better when
you think of it being an image
server
which could have much more data
on it
that was problematic
and that the law firm who was
representing CrowdStrike who
apparently
well actually who installed the
anti
hacking software which you know
two days
after they installed it that's
when
apparently the Russians were in
the
server so it's a quagmire and
you know
when the Dean dies down this is
popping
up to the to the surface do I
think it
will go anywhere ultimately no
probably
not because now with these guys
who are
doing the medias coverage in
the liberal
media itself when they're
concerned
about white supremacy and
that's the
reason they're anti-abortion
now that
kind of logic I mean they're
completely
scrambled there's also another
piece of
very disturbing news kind of
along these
lines do you remember a doctor
Robert
Epstein or Epstein I should say
the name
rings a bell yeah here's
actually your
clip which will remind you
remind all of
us exactly who dr. Robert
Epstein is the
number one financial supporter
of the
Hillary Clinton campaign in the
2016
election was the parent company
of
Google alphabet okay who was
our first
witness they were her number one
financial donor and your
testimony is
through their deceptive search
methods
they moved two points in her
direction I
would say this is the professor
who
showed with deep research which
was
immediately discredited of
course but
the research stands by itself
we went we
did a very deep dive on the
research at
the time I think on the show
this was
one of the stories of the year
that
again along with Jesse Smollett
nobody
covered his wife was killed
December
23rd really in a very freakish
car
accident
how she lost control of her
Ford Ranger
the truck quote slid out of
control slid
across four lanes jumped the
median into
the path of a freight liner
semi hauling
two dump trailers
jeez right
it's yeah it sounds like it's
one of
those things you see in the spy
films
yes when they tried to
assassinate
somebody it's always overkill
well
remember who was the husband so
long ago
before Andrew Breitbart died
after
drinking a wine at a local
Hollywood bar
and Michael who was the who was
the the
reporter who hit the tree Oh
Hastings
Michael Hastings yeah with his
ex s spy
wife right God I mean this look
we'll
just call it coincidence that's
all
yeah the Hastings story was the
most
disturbing of the group because
of the
nature of that particular wreck
so but
this sounds pretty bad yeah
yeah and and
this you know this professor he
he kind
of came and went you know he he
made it
he made his statements Cruz
made a big
deal out of it we saw clearly
that if
you have the ability to
manipulate the
top two choices on Google
search which
Google of course has that
ability those
are the only two that matter
anything
else is just going to be noise
underneath the noise floor when
it comes
to clicking on stuff and that's
how
information is managed into
people's
brains by yes i relational apps
improve
that you can sway like some
boys like
but yeah a large amount of
people to
think differently no yes huh
well that's
I know yes happy end of year
news
everybody we could be doing a
retrospective about white power
or we
could just tell you what's
actually
happening in your world today
and the
more I think about you bringing
those
otm retrospectives to the show
the more
I like it just shows you how
lame how
lame it all is you can't trust
any of
these fuckers any of them on
any station
and I'll do my own
retrospective here I
have one retrospective clip I
saw that
you had your retrospective you
titled
them ret so I have 1 ret clip
Jeff
to remind everybody exactly how
it works
when it comes to messaging to
citizens
Nancy Pelosi explaining the
wrap-up
smear of course it's great that
she's
explaining it because I think
she's very
good at it it's a
self-fulfilling
problem you demonize and then
you it we
call the wrap up sneer if
anyone talked
politics cause the wrap-up
smear you
smear somebody with falsehoods
and all
the rest and then you
merchandise and
then you write it unless I see
it's
reported in the press that this
this
this and this so they have that
validation that the Press
reported the
smear and then it's called the
wrap-up
smear now I'm going to
merchandise the
presses report on the smear
that we made
and it's a tactic and it's it's
self-evident what she admits
here in
this part of the story is you
create the
smear and you go to your
friends in the
media who then will report it
for you so
that you can then say look what
my
friends over there reported in
the media
that's the only part she missed
in her
ask well she was yes she was not
explaining it well but it's a
trick that
this it's in the books
I mean it's known trick in the
CIA is a
met a master of it and the way
it was
usually would initially
explained is
that they would go to the point
of
placing these articles or these
smears
in foreign publications yeah
although
that's it that's the best you
put it in
in the Uganda times then the
New York
Times can say according to the
Uganda
times yeah and then they report
it and
then then you say look and you
did a new
report what the New York Times
report is
and the New York Times just
reported
whatever the Ugandan Times
reported
which was done by a CIA guy
working at
the Uganda Times and this is
why it's so
important to have so many
people placed
in all the publications that
are Aegeus
and that's why you need all
this drug
money to have this black budget
the
sea-ice budget is who knows
what it is
but they have a lot
people working for him at the
newspaper
level yes not just that but I
am willing
to say anybody who appears on
television
on a news show which is never
about news
if the if the station has the
name as
the word news in the name you
know it's
not news so if they show up and
they
have a book they're CIA they're
immediately suspect they
probably didn't
write the book very few people
write
their own books and very few
people get
to go on expensive book tours
I've been
looking at this business for
about a
year or so you don't just get a
Hampton
on a book tour and I will argue
that a
bit oh yeah and I'm not working
for
anybody except to no agenda
listener but
now that you bring that up we
might as
well play this ret clip mm-hmm
this is a
William Arkin guy and this is a
spooks
is pundits clip so you talked
about the
people who populate the
networks as
pundits and you've been a
fierce critic
of the national security state
or at
least understanding who it is
who is
explaining things to us reading
from
Politico former CIA director
John
Brennan laid a super spook they
said to
be reborn as a TV news II he
just cashed
in at NBC News as the senior
national
security and intelligence
analyst served
as first expert views and Meet
the Press
the Brennan acquisition seeks
to elevate
NBC to spook parity with CNN
which
employs former Director of
National
Intelligence James clapper
former CIA
director Michael Hayden a
similar
capacity other lesser-known
National
Security veterans thrive under
TV's grow
lights almost too numerous to
list they
include truck rosenberg former
acting
DEA administrator chief of
staff for FBI
director james comey and
counselor to
former FBI director robert
muller Frank
fig Lucy former chief of FBI
counterintelligence Oh Juan
Zarate
deputy national security
adviser under
Bush at NBC Fran Townsend
homeland
security guys are under Bush
and it goes
on and on and on these are now
the
pundits and so
you have a situation like
president
Trump announcing he will
immediately
withdraw US troops from Syria
and have
the troops that are in
Afghanistan you
have this massive attack on him
that's
actually led by the permanent
national
security state under the guise
of
pundits on television well I
think that
you've I mean what you said
stands for
itself Amy but I would add to
it that I
think the real crisis is that
when we
have a panel discussion on
television in
the mainstream press and even
in the
mainstream newspapers we don't
populate
that panel with people who are
in
opposition we have a single war
party in
the United States and it's the
only one
that is given voice and so
really the
crisis is not so much that
there are
experienced government officials
speaking out the problem is
that there
aren't critics who are sitting
next to
them saying that you're full of
it
they're also spokes so to me we
need to
balance that and I think that
probably
because of the phenomenon of
Donald
Trump let's just be honest
about it
really what we see on TV now is
former
Obama administration officials
masquerading as analysts who are
nonpartisan when in fact they
are
partisan and and indeed we see
fewer
retired generals and fewer
retired
admirals who sometimes are
useful in
terms of explaining the
profession of
arms and the conduct of military
operations in favor of these
political
figures who have a partisan
view I just
don't think the American public
gets
well served by the fact that
there isn't
a broad range of opinions on
those
panels I want to see peaceniks
I want to
see academics I want to see
historians I
want them to as much have a
voice their
dream of understanding what's
going on
as I do see a former Obama
administration official we have
to break
yeah yes please break away so
for sure
if you ever come out with that
vinegar
book then we know you've been
compromised that's that
it's a given that some yeah
yeah he's
gonna have to write that
vinegar boss
[Music]
okay well we're in this topic I
do have
a Hersh clip that kind of backs
that
other clip up and this is when
he was on
al Jazeera being interviewed to
Seymour
Hersh oh this is another
literate
Rhett's yes I think it's going
to hell
now what you have is if you
don't like
Trump you read the New York
Times and
Washington Post and what
certain cable
shows CNN if you like Trump you
watch
Fox News and you read other
paper that's
equal all your that's flying
into a
Trump narrative Fox News is not
the same
as New Times you know Sam still
does
good journalism by the way the
Fox News
but it doesn't but the
credibility of
the New York Times because it's
so
hostile to him maybe
legitimately but
over the top I think they've
gone way
over the top in terms of like
running an
anonymous letter yeah okay how
long ago
was this because it was one of
his last
nonnamous letter this was in
January of
this year
yeah well that was definitely
one of his
last appearances ever well it
was on
eligible Al Jazeera of course
do another
thing from this exact same
theme just to
stick with the RET theme again
from this
year in January and what we
just heard
about the New York Times and
the guy who
owns the New York Times New
York Times I
here's Jill Abramson the New
York Times
her former employer the former
executive
editor of the New York Times
Jill
Abramson criticizing that
newspaper in
her upcoming book calling The
Times news
coverage unmistakeably
anti-trump let's
bring in howard kurtz
fox news media analyst and host
of media
buzz she's not going to be
making a lot
of friends among her former
colleagues
at the New York Times with a
lot of what
she has to say in this book
Howie
absolutely not Jon but this is
an
extraordinary rebuke by Jill
Abramson
the former executive editor as
you say
if she not only calls the news
coverage
on mistakable anti-trump she
says the
younger staff they're the woke
staff
members as she puts it are so
concerned
about what they see is the
dangers of
Trump's presidency that they
want to
throw out the old journalistic
standards
she also says that given the
papers
mostly liberal audience
there's a financial reward for
the times
and running so many stories
about Trump
almost all the negative of that
is
soaring traffic yes that's why
people
come to the No Agenda show this
is true
yes I have two observations
about
something the president is
doing which
is not I don't think being well
I'm sure
it's not being analyzed by news
so this
is just you know one one VJ to
an old an
old columnist we're pulling out
of a lot
of different areas and Trump is
making
some very interesting moves
that is
obviously not being reported on
very
very broadly at all Japan is
now and I
think at the invitation of the
president
moved into the Strait of Hormuz
this is
you know where was like 60% of
the
world's oil passes through this
20 mile
nightmare this straight yeah
and of
course Iran has you know been
been
making trouble yeah we had a
drone shot
down or shot her own drone down
who just
a big quagmire but what I think
is
happening is Trump is pulling
completely
out of all of these regions you
know
Turkey and Russia are now
messing around
in Libya you know what leave it
leave it
just leave everything to those
guys and
mainly because we don't need to
get our
oil from the Strait of Hormuz
in a brief
breaking report on Friday
Japan's Asahi
Shimbun said Tokyo had decided
to send
its own troops to the Strait of
Hormuz
instead of joining the us-led
coalition
tasked with safeguarding
commercial
shipping in the Middle East it
said
Prime Minister Shinzo Abbott
told his
ministers in a National
Security Council
meeting to review the mission
specifics
it also said that because ah
they had
visited Iran in June possibly
to serve
as a mediator between Iran and
the US
this could be a move to avoid
clashing
with Iran and at the same time
stay on
board with Washington's plan
for the
defense shipping the Strait of
Hormuz is
a crucial area in term
of international trade because
if the
route taken to transport 20% of
the
world's petroleum so I think
Trump made
some kind of deal with with
eBay and
said look you go park over
there I'll
take care of those disputed
islands that
I that we all know are really
yours but
China's are trying to take them
over and
and that will be the new
theater for us
so if you know that's the oil
part or
petroleum another thing always
important
when the world is you know just
in the
world in general is gold where
is a lot
of gold mining done
it's a place we've all heard of
but week
I certainly always kind of
glaze over
when I hear Burkina Faso I and
whatever
where is it what's in Africa
and this
report from france24 tells us
that maybe
Trump is not so interested in
everybody
having any more gold or mining
it or
whatever his attack did not
come out of
nowhere even if it is the worst
attack
in burkina faso's modern
history we have
seen a sharp increase and I
mean a very
sharp increase in attacks since
Burkina
Faso as a whole became sort of
dragged
into the broader conflict and
the
broader sort of jihadist
insurgency that
began in this whole region
around 2015
it's perhaps no accident that
France
just last month in November
announced
that they were deploying more
troops as
part of their bark on reach
operation
throughout the Sahel regions to
Burkina
Faso I always love that you
never hear
about any other countries
messing around
in Africa finally we hear about
the
French it's and more
specifically right
to the region where these
attacks happen
today it's the so called three
borders
region it's where Burkina
Faso's border
meets up with Molly and me
share and as
these attacks are escalating
another
military presence in the region
the u.s.
is reportedly planning to
withdraw
troops
and yeah what I could tell you
comes at
the big caveat this is
according to a
report that actually appeared
in the New
York Times a couple of days
back saying
that the US military is now
weighing
proposals for a major reduction
or even
a complete pullout of American
forces
from West Africa not just from
Burkina
Faso or from but from West
Africa in
general and that this is part
of a
broader Pentagon sort of
rethink of its
entire global deployment
strategy so
drawing West Africa would be
the first
in line but there could also be
American
troops being drawn down from
regions in
Latin America Iraq Afghanistan
why as
part of the new focus on is
this not the
story of the year I mean it's a
week I
didn't withdraw recently by not
the
media of this some report in
The New
York Times somewhere mentioned
it but
this is this is huge pulling
out of
everywhere and it makes so much
sense
go ahead you have the next 20
years of
bullcrap whoever wants to go in
China
have at it
certainly if I mean Burkina
Faso it's
gold really is mining it's a
there two
major exports are gold and
children who
mined for gold small-batch this
small-batch artisanal mining
that's
really what they do and a lot
of you
know there's other mining
around around
Burkina Faso and other countries
surrounding it in West Africa
in general
but again you know what we
always put
more troops in under some
bullcrap ruse
of Ebola we gotta go protect
everybody
or our interests so that's done
with and
I think that this is part of
the overall
Trump strategy of no just no
pulling out
of it it may have to do with the
outrageous squandering of funds
yes
trillions of dollars that could
go into
our own economy I just lament
every time
I like I was driving in Oakland
uh a
couple days ago just some
streets and go
from here to there and it was
like yeah
I mean it was like pothole city
and I'm
surprised I didn't break an
axle for 12
years he's not broken an axle
yet but
the complaints have been there
hey it's
borderline situations believe
me his car
luckily I you know I Drive a
car that
hasn't well made yeah but I
don't know
yeah well you know where's the
coverage
done there's no no no let's
just talk
about impeaching peach and peas
or beef
well you bring you bring up a
good point
about about the squandering of
funds and
this is where it gets a little
difficult
and I've just had a lot of time
to think
about this if you look at that
just take
Ukraine as the example you know
where
yeah one American news and Rudy
Giuliani
and they're going to uncover
thousands
of sealed indictments seven and
a half
billion dollars transferred
back to you
know everybody everywhere it's
a lot of
it's in the actual government
documents
themselves if you look at money
that was
intended for the Train it does
take a
genius it's you know 300
million dollars
was earmark government money
our money
tax money 300 million dollars
for AIDS
education in
Ukraine and that's going to
NGOs and and
that's how it works you set up
you know
it's like hey John we got a
buddy over
there and you know they make it
in
Congress and you know they got
some
chips in with somebody else so
why don't
we start a little
non-governmental
organization we will educate
podcasters
how to be be free media
something like
that and then we'll get into
your market
we'll get twenty five million
dollars we
put together a class though
this is what
it is and this is what we
should be
doing I know this is the you
need a good
grassman ship person somebody
knows how
to write grants and you can you
can make
a lot of money off of this
thing that
they're trying to put an end to
and I
think is wise to put an end to
it
because it is squandering
taxpayers
money is not going toward jets
it's not
going toward anything you know
but but
wait wait wait wait this disel
this will
make you laugh Greece what do
we know
about Greece Greece is broke
it's broke
it's broke
however the finance that was
the finance
minister the defense minister
Nico's
poolboy Panagiotopoulos told
parliament
earlier this month that they
needed to
upgrade their VIPRE class f-16
fighters
and so they're going to spend
two
hundred and eighty billion
dollars
on upgrading their f-16 fighter
jets who
even knew Greece had fighter
jets don't
you do they really need them no
because
it's for us it's us we give the
Greek
money through IMF and other
mechanisms
and it came right back to us so
we'll
have a nice tool that per se
okay
Lockheed is that not us well
I'm not you
know what I mean
it comes right back to the u.s.
to
Lockheed but others whom the
maintenance
contracts the shipping the
logistics
it's all economic hitman stuff
and it's
not really booming anybody but
assholes
who were already rich or their
kids and
one American news is I mean we
played
this months ago about paul
pelosi her
son they've now wrapped it up
into a
little news item we were quite
a bit
ahead of this one as the
ukraine scandal
backfires on the Biden family
the
Pelosi's may be the next to
come under
scrutiny an old promotional
video
resurfaced on Thursday more
than six
years after is uploaded by an
energy
company which does business in
Ukraine
the video starts out with Nancy
Pelosi
speaking about her efforts in
office to
push for clean energy her
message is
followed by a promotional
statement from
her son Paul who was a board
member of
vist
and an executive at its related
company
energy lab just two years after
this
video is uploaded Pelosi led a
congressional delegation to
Ukraine to
discuss issues like energy
security and
her son travel to the country as
recently as 2017 on behalf of
the
corporate governance initiative
where he
now serves as executive
director do you
run a court you have a corporate
governance business and you're
here in
Ukraine speaking with
representative the
government investment bankers
discussing
certain things relate to the
soccer
exactly the Biden faces similar
allegations they use his
father's
position to make lucrative
business
deals in Ukraine and China
so there you go just you'll
give the kid
some money well you know that
way you
can spread it out a little bit
by the
way you know that a one
American news is
suing Rachel Maddow no I did
not know
this
no I looks like they have a
case tell me
and so rachel is going on
saying well
you know whatever I say
something is not
really a fact it's just
something I
think for what happens when it
never has
I'm a hotshot lawyer it was the
case
about what did she say she said
that one
American news was was a Russian
front
but paid for by the Russkies I
hope
someone says that about you and
I well
he'd have to assume but yeah
well that's
the hope said they have a case
and then
now she's all freaked out about
it well
she should be because she's got
a big
mouth yeah someone yeah it's
about time
someone took her down a notch
well be
more than a notch if one
American news
has its way
yeah we'll see that's good I
didn't know
that yeah it's pretty fight got
a kick
out of it
all right I think we with that
with that
at the one hour mark exactly
I'd like to
thank you for your courage and
say in

be
reaching out to you
that's no agenda stream comm
where you
can listen to all of our live
shows
there's 24 hours day there's
something
running a podcast which you can
later
subscribe to but it's really a
cool
place to hang out and exchange
information or just troll other
people
and yourselves also in the
morning to
our artists for episode 12 o -
we titled
that one invidious phobias
which i think
is the title of 2019 I really
liked it I
still have to look up the word
invidious
every time I think it means
scary or
something like that
Mike Reilly Mike Reilly brought
us the
perfect Boxing Day artwork
Santa Claus
Saint Nick boxing with the
kangaroo and
not only was it just perfectly
done it
pops because it was yellow
background
and yeah it's a pro well guys
say the
guy's a pro we found that at no
agenda
art generator calms where you
can look
at all of the art 10 times as
much art
as we have episodes there was a
lot of
good art and so we had to make a
decision and they would that's
we picked
a we generally swing a little
bit toward
original art if we can find it
and in
other words the guy draws
something yes
and O'Reilly pretty good at it
I mean he
I mean he boys he does one
piece usually
and he's not like it Darren
O'Neill gets
more hits because Darren
O'Neill's the
productive guy he's like Bam
Bam Bam Bam
does five pieces of show easy
yeah with
one hand where we talk about to
say oh
this piece I really like this
piece yeah
I know I would say you you will
like I
won't like is something
somebody won't
wait well you know you know
what we
should actually well let me
finish this
story because this kind of the
way it
works and say ah you know you
look at
this Darren O'Neill and they
say well I
hate the gays dude nice then
you find
another piece of okay would
pick that
it's also Darren O'Neill I
always say
well I don't feel so bad about
rejecting
his other people look I'm just
looking
at the at the page it would be
an idea
although I don't think I have
the
bandwidth but it would be an
idea you
can literally take what the
artists are
doing while we're doing the
show and you
could put that into a timeline
that
would switch when we switch
topics I
mean it goes from Kevin Spacey
to Trump
to Jane Fonda to the the the
boob
growing burger is it's almost
it's
almost in a time line it's very
interesting now that's is that
project
for yet and a lot of times the
guys like
in the last show there's
somebody who
tried to outguess the show
there's
always one artist by the way I
don't
recommend doing this cuz it's
pretty
hard to do is say I know what
they're
gonna talk about yeah oh yeah
well
that's the burger we didn't
talk about
the burger last time no I send
people
already they did art for the
last show I
thought about the burger he
never talked
about the burger I wasn't
actually until
you brought it up on today's
show I was
never gonna talk about the
burger but
I'm a burger kind of guy you
are your
burger kind of guy mmm I'm a
I'm not a
nothing burger
the point is is that trying to
outguess
we're gonna talk about is not
to because
we don't just because was in
the news or
it was some sort of gimmicky
story
doesn't mean we're gonna talk
about it
and generally we don't know and
generally the things that we
think all
we have really got to talk
about that we
forget to talk about that's
that that's
the show that's when you only
have
thousands of producers outside
the
studio there's not actually
someone here
to kick you and say hey
remember talk
about this well let's thank a
few people
for being executive producers
and
associate executive producers
for show
twelve
oh is it twelve Ostrom or three
yes now
is this our year-end special
this or is
this a this know that with
everybody's
well the year-end special is
actually
going to be on the 2nd of
January this
is the special but anyone who
contributed three hundred
thirty three
dollars and 33 cents forgotten
an
executive producer for this
show will be
can use it they can claim
executive
producer ship for the No Agenda
New
Year's special ah okay and then
that and
they were not gonna do another
one of
these special executive
producer things
until July fourth which is the
fourth of
July for you I know you don't
remember
that date but you know just
because you
wrote a shitty sentence in the
newsletter drafted to try and
tell me
that I don't know what July
Phila friend
what cut and then you called me
a
communist you McCarthyite I'm
reminded
of star like thirteen or in
that movie
where the guy comes in and he
somebody
tries to talk about the 27
Yankees and
the guy doesn't know what he's
talking
about
and so they figure so let me
just
mansplain this okay John always
sends me
the newsletter to look over and
there's
usually some typos and so I
what I do is
I click always there's usually
some
typos one or two it's not a big
deal and
then I'll copy the line I
pasted the
line with the correction and
this first
line was
you know this it was I just
didn't
understand it and so I copied
and pasted
the line about you won't have
another
chance like this until July 4th
and like
wow we're not kind of any
special shows
until July 4th I know what July
4th is
so I just replied July 4th
question mark
can you come back with Jack
comrade make
up some kind of commie please
so I'm
thinking I'm going back to
stall like 17
or 13 wherever that movie was
and they
beat the crap by this guy
doesn't know
anything about the 27 Yankees
and I'm
thinking poor Adam who doesn't
like
sports he shows up in a Nazi
concentration camp right all
right who
won the 20 to 2019 World Series
I'd be
like put me up against the wall
gotta be
more people that don't follow
sports and
be more so today that back in
the day
but Colditz was it not cold
it's Stalag
a Stalag 13 cold it's I think
it was
called I remember I don't
escape from
escape from style like 17
that's what it
was okay anyway let anyway
listen
anyways people who helped us
year wait
wait stop who won the FA Cup
wasn't at
Liverpool
you know this is another thing
that
bothers me let me let me stop
again okay
so I'm watching ESPN which is
just
deteriorated I mean they're
okay during
their football playoffs and
even though
they don't have good sound
engineers it
seems they I'm looking at the
scores
underneath and they're showing
all these
British club sports soccer
scores hmm
and this is one after another
I'm
thinking why are they doing
this because
it because Americans are all
into
British
they're all Manchester United
fans or
witnesses they they know that
nothing
goes better with avocado toast
than some
soccer scores then I think to
myself
well if that's true why are
they so
racist about it
racist where's the soccer
scores from
Brazil where's the soccer
scores from
Mexico where's the soccer
scores from
Africa well but this you know
if you
were just like it where's the
cricket
scores from India it was kind
of a big
championship me but this is
week after
week day after day we're
talking about
the regular season they're just
showing
British scores of soccer games
it's Iran
it's a plot but they don't show
Brazilian scores they don't
show Mexican
they don't show any other
scores from
any other countries just
bridges they
don't even show the this stuff
well they
do show they'll show Madrid
that some of
the scores of them in the
continent
well here's I'm gonna answer
this for
you maybe they maybe they've
figured out
that by only showing the
British scores
they will keep old white coats
like you
engaged wondering why there's no
Brazilian scores because you're
clearly
yelling at the TV let's thank
some
people by the way everyone
should yell
at the TV is fine it is good
let's start
with Richard Bagwell at
Louisville
Kentucky you don't even give a
horse-racing scores you keep
one two
three four five six which he
does yes
that's right beautiful call I'm
sure
Richard even though I don't
think he's
claimed yet to know but Sir
Richard
country's my annual
contribution of the
best podcast in the universe
requesting
jobs karma the original Pelosi
solo also
requesting Adam except my
LinkedIn
requests okay well this is a
very good
point I have not managed my
password
like I had do not know the
password I
know I can retrieve it I have
not
managed my LinkedIn profile
probably
ever but I think I I set it up
when we
started pod show because that
looked
professional I am hereby
requesting to
outsource my LinkedIn profile
and anyone
who is serious I would like you
to
manage it because I believe
that man
the profile is of huge
importance and
could actually help the show
I'm sure somebody'll take you
up I mean
I'm thinking of doing it but I
wouldn't
no no no I'm not letting you
anywhere
near that thing jobs jobs jobs
and jobs
that's karma I think I just I
just felt
the keepers ears perk up going
hmm maybe
I could manage that yeah she
could
probably do it oh I know she
could I
don't think I can afford her
you know the pair alright
onward with
Sir AJ van der Steen in Carlsbad
California with $1,000 this is
our
retired lieutenant colonel from
the
Marines ah yes that's right he
always
ends its has it been a year
since we
last heard from or did he come
in an
interim I think about once
every six
months what we love you know he
came in
during the year at least once
if not
twice what's with smaller
donations but
he always sends a very nice
note with
that he was he got he got
himself into a
health Jam as you recall from
the last
note and he he's back I believe
he's
also its official title sir
Joseph with
an F Earl of Southern
California when
approved oh there are issues
with the
segmentation down there and it
has to be
resolved by the peerage
committee it's
taking a little taken a lot
longer than
it should clearly I don't you
know what
is with these guys I know
anyway so he
always writes on marine
letterhead is
very attractive
I am John and Adam I have
attached my
last contribution for our
calendar year
2019 omnibus budget please put
it to
good use
regret that we are a bit tardy
with this
submission we were visiting
family in
Texas where we got a clear
impression of
the awesome power of the m5m
though we
spent three weeks with the most
prolific
Trump haters Rachel Maddow
Watchers and
just plain crazy people for
this family
I guess you know you're in
trouble when
you see Rachel Maddow on the
family
Sirius XM radio list and the
bumper
sticker beto on the back I
honestly
didn't know that Sirius XM
carries full
time Maddow Show
we love our family but it sure
is good
to be home
1,500 miles away is Carlsbad uh
this
contribution makes me eligible
eligible for promotion - Earl
on the
peerage list okay well with
this with
the blessing of all the members
of the
peerage committee I would like
to
maintain sovereignty over the
Southern
California Protectorate please
change my
title to Sir Joseph pearl of
Southern
California and asked the back
office to
send the appropriate parchment
no
jingles but I would you I would
I could
use a bit more of your great
goat health
Karma thank you and Merry
Christmas to
you and your families so I
think I
should put him down for an earl
upgrade
we just leave the Protectorate
in
abeyance for now I think you
can give
him to protect your it in
abeyance
in California in abeyance yeah
ia that's
six billions is abeyance ABA
why why I
think is a Bob eBay and I think
it's EU

and punch it in it'll give you
an
underline if some punching it
in your
right a be what yes you're
right you're
correct this with an e good
okay so he's
on the list
outstanding well I'm glad you

your health issues and the
family don't

like you go through this
probably did
him well to go down and makes
you

way makes you appreciate life
insanity
sanity of the amygdala yeah

in the
somebody's driveway and she

wouldn't say
anything both the products from
lavender
blossoms and Jambo from Jambo
Joe have
now we're not sure if it's if
it's
directly attributable but Tina
had like
a sciatic nerve problem which
could be
quite painful and you know the
minute
the CBD was applied the next
day things
got better
I'm not saying it's completely
attributable but I'm a believer

with about 10 attendees the
good news is
we collected $220 the bad news
is 200 of
the 220 came from the barren of
this so
we're gonna put Baron and Verde
no no no
he put it in there keep it
there other
remaining 20s from your host
meet mister
genitals as this was an
inaugural
meet-up of strangers I didn't
push too
hard for donations however we
plan to
make this a regular thing so
the future
so in the future I'm gonna get
more
strongly encouraged donations
if for no
other reason than we don't look
like a
bunch of douche bags no day
that you may
be interested in as you guys
have
predicted everybody got along
well and
there was no awkwardness
whatsoever
all attendees were male most
were 35 to
55 with 120 two-year-old and
one over 65
2 to 3 learned about the no
agenda show
from today in tech a couple by
word-of-mouth and a couple by
just
listening to random podcasts
and one
from the Donald the Donald
subreddit hmm
I've been I've been struggling
to come
up with a short explanation of
exactly
what the meetup is
you know because what is it
exactly that
makes this it's such a mouthful
to say
well you meet people who have
really one
thing in common is that they're
not
going to be triggered by
whatever you
are what you say or and you're
not gonna
feel triggered by then yeah
it's a
trigger 'less environment but
then he
finishes no no finally one of
the most
interesting observation was as
follows
although many different topics
were
discussed there was zero
mention of
impeachment hmm yeah as far as
I'm aware
he says right I thought this
was odd
considering it's it that this
was the
big controversial news of the
week
no I think that's exactly right
and no
agenda meetup would completely
ignore
that so that's not important
it's a sham
Pietschmann
anyway I'm struggling with
coming up
with the right descriptive
sentence I
want oh just a sentence so
somebody can
write it for us we have people
out there
are creative okay
last on our list of the
associate
executive producers staff on
Madison in
Brooklyn 200 $11.55 we need more
Brooklyn listeners by chance
donating
purely first excuse me selfish
purposes
need I need that sweet sweet
Nancy job
jobs come and I have the
hiccups for an
idea I propose to my boss which
would
eliminate a management position
that
gave me a hefty chunk of change
I'm
enjoying the show as always we
need 9
more seasons
yes seasons now we're not we're
doing
seasons I'm against this this
idea of
seasons but you brought it up
much
before and I've never never
been someone
else someone else brought it up
previously I would never
recommend this
I don't like weight doing in
blocks of
1,000 shows exactly worth we're
1k
blockers we don't mess around
here yes
be more than happy to give you
some
sweet Nancy jobs karma for that
idea you
propose and let's hope that
works out
tap on thank you very much for
your
courage and your support jobs
jobs jobs
and jobs
vote for job you've got karma
and that
concludes our list of
executives that
associate executive producers
for show
12:03 I'm gonna have trouble
with this
number by the way I keep
thinking 19
that's okay and thank you to
these execs
and associate execs you know
the deal
this is the credit that you
deserve and
you need to take it you need to
display
it proudly loudly if only just
for the
badge that that it is that the
Badge of
Courage of Honor but it can
also be a
lure to bring people closer to
you an
executive producer I wonder
maybe he's
looking for an unknown
anything could happen with an
executive
or soceity executive producer
ship as
long as you use it accordingly
and thank
you will be thanking more
people $50 and
above in our second segment and
if you
have not supported us please
consider
that for our next show the
first one of
the new year by going to Dvorak
org
slash and news you know what's
really
going on these days our formula
is this
we go out we hit people in the
mouth
stop the hammering
[Music]
I have an update I'm an update
I need an
update yes an update so let me
see I
don't have an update sound
update sound
I have an update update on
23andme in
the military I have the update
sound
update nice I'm time coding
that there
was a story that we talked
about last
show of the show before about
the
military not wanting any of
their
enlisted people anybody at the
Pentagon
not wanting anyone in the
military to do
one of these DNA tests
specifically
23andme and ancestry.com were
mentioned
and it was a little confusing
there's
like oh it's national security
security
of the troops you know we
weren't really
sure what it was about but of
course we
have a very vast array of
producers many
who are boots on the ground
literal
boots on the ground and to
emails I'd
like to share some information
with the
first one this one let you know
the
military actually takes a DNA
sample
during the initial medical
processing I
was told the DNA profile is
kept on file
in order to identify remains if
a
soldier is killed in action and
could
not be identified by other
means that
makes a lot of sense doesn't it
but
instead of the military saying
we
already have the DNA you don't
need
another test the second email
is perhaps
a little more pertinent Adam
the reason
they're not saying the the true
reason
is because having your own DNA
under
your control could help you or
others
discover unknown kids belonging
to
military members this could or
could not
be a problem in the military
and even
punishable under military law
example of
the kid as a result of adultery
that's
illegal Uniform Code of
Military Justice
UCMJ best-case scenario may be
single
troop had one nightstand and
didn't know
now the kid and mom take part
of your
check and the kid is entitled to
military benefits
don't think the military wants
to deal
with that because it could make
you less
deployable I think that's
probably
something to that I think that's
probably it
I mean I hear so much about
yeah I yeah
I would never do a DNA test
just my own
personal privacy reasons but
there are
so many people who find out
that they're
you know that their parents
aren't their
birth parents or their brothers
been
adopted none of this seems like
a great
idea to know they people who
know and
have found this out I think
typically at
the end they say well you know
at least
it enhanced my knowledge of Who
I am but
it comes along with a lot of
heartbreak
and you know stuff
I know a guy who's a
stockbroker II and
one day I saw him he was like
he's got a pail any tourney
somebody
knocked on his door
and it was his son mm-hmm and
he never
met or knew he had 21 years old
Wow
yeah whoops like what whoops
oops
there was a a little bit of a
fracas
that happened think two days
ago Putin
did his
his big press conference for
for the
media where he answers all these
questions a year does a big
press
conference all day there I said
I was a
week ago so now we have people
from all
over the world to listen to the
show a
comic strip blogger I'm not
sure if he
is polish or if he grew up
there or if
he's there now I have no idea
but the
pressure is polish I think he's
polish
so he sent me a note saying wow
look at
this he was accusing the poles
of be
assisting the Nazis and that
there was
the damn anti-semites in Poland
and he
said you have to talk about you
my talk
about this I no agenda put a
knockoff
upon it so I take his note and
of course
the clip that he sent with it
associated
but you know there's the
subtitles and
there's you know
interpretations so I
sent it to Sir Jean you know
the Earl
over here because he speaks the
Russian
and so I said well what's going
on so of
course I get the Russian
version which
is comrades this is this is
much ado
about nothing you know so it's
like
everyone's arguing about who
was the
biggest shitheel in in world
war ii when
i've discovered that this had
nothing to
do with any of that it is
purely a
political statement by Putin
for a
pipeline according to the
Russian state
television for them are putting
under
his end-of-the-year speech to
high-ranking military officials
with
accusations towards the Polish
diplomats
from the 1930s he referred to
the 1938
appeasement part where the
Allies agreed
to the petition of
Czechoslovakia what's
more he reserved particular
criticism
for Poland namely stating that
Poland's
impossible to Germany at the
time was a
Nazi sympathizer essentially
they called
it with Hitler this is clear
from the
documents and archives
particular
critique was reserved for the
Polish
Ambassador at the time use
ellipse game
apparently put in service about
him and
he means that bastard that
anti-symmetric peg he expressed
full
solidarity with Hitler and his
anti-semitic views in Erie and
he is
given Australian
according to Polish analysts
are several
reasons why put in a singling
out Poland
first is the practical seizing
of the
construction of the Nostrum
that's it
that's what this is all about
because
Poland is playing with us see
that's
right
Trump gave Poland the Visa
Waiver like
theirs they're helping wart the
North
stream to pipeline which is the
big deal
for Gazprom in Russia that's
what all
this is about and meanwhile
exactly what
I'd wanted is people yelling at
each
other over something that
happened
before they were both born
and gene is a Duke I'm sorry
it's not an
Earl who is also the sheriff
yeah that's confusing he just
wants to
be a Duke he is a Duke so
anyway so
that's what this is about
it's all about the pipelines
and by the
way you know this is the
Russian agent
Donald Trump who was making all
this
trouble Russia yeah and also
also
Putin's running the USA
according to the
Lib joes and Russia had just
finalized a
two point nine billion dollar
transfer
of money to Ukraine for gas
transport
you know they're they're at war
and this
is you know our national
security
now they had a nice little chat
in
Vienna and they figured it all
out they
also exchange prisoners don bass
prisoner swap so now maybe it's
not
quite as horrible as the m5m
would have
you think it is they're clearly
doing
business well the m5 Em's got
its own
agenda and I actually agree
with the guy
earlier they William Arkin
character who
is the old military
intelligence guy
that you don't you will never
hear on
the air again after that little
thing he
did on the Amy Goodman show
mm-hmm uh
where it was like you know it's
a what
does one party in charges the
war party
yes well this is true I think
we saw the
war party just giving us the
news and
they're not gonna tell us
anything that
does anything you do it piece
that was
like a big game about peace but
during
the war party I was thinking
about this
you look at the people who were
well
there's a couple things first
of all the
ruling class and I had a long
discussion
with the keeper about this
about the
what the ruling class is
because I
believe it's people who run the
banks
are the ruling class the
educators the
universities of the ruling
class yes
politicians but they the
politicians
aren't actually calling the
shots
they're influenced by everybody
else
I mean it isn't is that how
would you
define the ruling class
I would say is the top top-level
influencers right but not
necessarily
lawmakers but just influencers
I think
there's a few lawmakers in the
class
must be so the Nancy Pelosi is
of course
part of the ruling class yes
she would
be there so if you look at the
ruling
class and my goodness man look
at who is
running the country buddy in
Congress
it's worth over a hundred
million
dollars that's not really
there's a lot
of his a lot of them they're
all pretty
old they're seventy plus which
is you
know it doesn't bother me at
all but
when you think about how they
view
Russia they grew up with the
Soviet
Union and USSR and I think
there's
plenty of trauma that went
around and
I'm not diminishing you know
the Cuban
Missile Crisis and I don't know
how old
you were but and that I can see
that
would have been very scary to a
lot of
people of a certain age today
you were
maybe too young but doesn't
matter these
people who are running the show
who was
between 75 and 80 witnessed
that and I
think have trauma the same goes
for
their whole globalist New World
Order
view which is whatever we keep
getting
pushed towards and I was
watching an
interview with a Dutch
politician and he
made this point he said these
people who
are the ruling political class
grew up
with John Lennon's Imagine and
had to
think about it and then you
look at the
lyrics
imagine there's no heaven it's
easy if
you try no hell below us above
us only
sky imagine all the people
living for
today imagine there's no
countries it's
not hard to do nothing to kill
or die
for and no religion to sound
like
something like a formula to get
shot
this is the the dream no
borders no
religions we're all one we all
live in
peace and harmony a brotherhood
of man
I'm a dreamer but I'm not the
only one I
hope someday you will join us
and the
world will live as one yeah I
was very
it's a very new world ordinary
thing new
world order no borders one-world
government that's what he left
out yeah
imagine there's one world
government
dominated by the ruling elites
I mean he
should add some more lyrics
I'll rewrite
it for you they got they killed
him
because he didn't put that in
that's
probably what happened there
yeah I know
it just hit me it's like yeah I
can see
where people who grew up and I
remember
the song but you know it was
like the
the 10th anniversary of it well
by the
time he wrote that song he was
in the
ruling elite even though he
didn't know
it was the ruling class yeah I
mean you
know what card he's a
billionaire I mean
let's get a clue here yeah yep
yeah
exactly
of course he's not the real
polls aren't
doing us any favors this is a
different
guy now it doesn't matter and
your point
is well made well it still is
yeah it's
still proposing as the same guy
yeah and
he probably thinks he's that
guy now so
so one way or the other
these people are going away it
will get
better
how much longer can they last
they're
done
just then they pass it on to
their kids
yes turn an CE Pelosi is toast
man she
is her her eyebrows are at her
hairline
now just touch your face your
eyebrows
start above your eye socket hey
one more
facelift and she's gonna have a
goatee I
hadn't heard that one would I
like it
guilty
okay alright enough of my
silliness that
you want to hear another
retrospective
let's do a retrospective first
of all I
want to bring in a
retrospective of an
ISO showing that this is a 12
second ISO
that it was used at end of show
we used
to have used longer ones when
they were
funny no
[Applause]
I think they I think the nose
habits are
you sure we use that end of
show I'm
pretty sure hmm it's doubtful
but it's a
good one it's a very good one I
mean I
have one that I that I'd like
to offer
as as a potential
this is Matt Gaetz the
congressman Matt
Gaetz no agenda for America
doesn't get
much better than that
yes that's somebody read it
yeah that we
could have we had that one and
we just
dropped the ball on it this is
the one
though that that's that's the
one that's
good we have this is another
one of
these little clips that I
picked up this
was my favorite this was from
the spy
show Berlin station this movie
ran this
in January it's a retrospective
I
consider one of the best cuz I I
consider it my favorite clip of
the year
and this is the turn this to
set it up
this is a one of the spies had
quit the
agency but now he's he's still
living in
town and he's gonna everyone's
afraid of
what he's gonna do and here we
go what
do you know about Gilbert Dorn
Gilbert Dorn same as everyone
legend put out to pasture saw
and did it
all during the Cold War cast a
pretty
long shadow at Berlin station
he never
left retired in Berlin did not
know that
let me guess he's writing a
book worse
podcast that is the new spook
outlet of
the future podcasts that's
where all the
spooks are moving towards
podcasts I
think this is a good idea yeah
hey you
want some influence that's the
way to go
people the people are tuning
out of your
m5m before you continue with
retrospective let's do
something a
little more current there's an
issue in
Australia that the temperature
of the
sea has gone down yes I know
it's a
problematic it's at the same
time a
climate change is burning
everybody
alive in Australia so you know
somehow
this has to be fixed you might
want to
get a pencil and a piece of
paper to
write down the reason as
brought to you
by the BBC
potential for these fires in
this
particular case this year we've
had a
phenomenon known as a positive
Indian
Ocean dipole and what that
basically
means is sea temperatures in
the eastern
side of the Indian Ocean so
close to
Australia have been lower than
average
now cooler seawater generates
less rain
the warmer the warmer the air is
essentially over the oceans the
more
rain we get because the oceans
have a
little bit cooler there hasn't
been as
much rain that's one of the
reasons why
it's been so dry across
Australia
because the ground is so dry it
heats up
more quickly so you know we can
trace it
back we can find reasons for
this but
scientists will obviously be
looking at
it in the broader context of
world
events to see that linked with
climate
change alright then rich thanks
for
bringing us up to date on those
weather
conditions this yes lovely we
have to
link it to climate change the
positive
Indian Ocean dipole of course
if it's
not the arctic blast what was
the other
the other term we had there's a
bunch of
them like yikers like to bring
up the
fact that there's gonna be they
made the
predictions gonna be no snow in
England
ever again yes the children in
England
would only see snow in snow
globes yes
so it's the opposite of the
polar vortex
is the positive Indian Ocean
dipole
which of course we've heard
about for
years whenever this took place
no never
ever and how it just rolls off
I think I
need to play it again just from
ice I
just need to hear just need to
hear him
say that again we've had a
phenomenon
known as a positive Indian
Ocean dipole
and what that basically means
is yeah I
mean can you believe this and
they say
that I the straightest is when
they say
there's no the oceans aren't
rising
because Australia again is
providing a
sponge effect oh yes sucking up
the
water yeah and the cyclone bomb
we got
we need to we need to keep
track of
these well let's go back to and
again to
January and remind ourselves
this is a
nineteen second ret ami climate
gloom
who study published this week
finds the
melting of Greenland's ice sheet
may have reached a tipping
point it
could severely increase sea
level rise
over the next 20 years the
report
confirms other recent studies
which
warned the Arctic is warming at
twice
the rate of the rest of the
planet
due to climate change yes and
let's just
do a little update we'll go to
Google
which I don't use typically
animals do
warming at twice was one of the
originals we had a clip that
you had of
all these people saying this is
twice
the rate twice there how does
one place
gonna be with global global
being the
operative word well here's one
place
started warming it twice the
rate so now
let me just hear what Amy said
again new
study published this week finds
the
melting of Greenland's ice
sheet may
have reached a tipping point
and could
severely increase sea-level
rise over
the next 20 years the report
confirms
other recent studies which
warned the
Arctic is warming at twice the
rate of
the rest of the planet and
climate watch
Canada is warming up twice as
fast as
the rest of the world so we
have Canada
the Arctic northern hemisphere
UK this
is fantastic
everyone's claiming it
everybody Russia
warming twice the global rate
Australia
warming twice the global rate
Britain
China warming twice as fast
Ireland warm it just look it up
on
Google it's all there horseshit
people
that's what I say
manure do chavala
then bringing up one more of
these and
then I'll get back to normal
yeah you
might as well go to this ret
fat people
I don't think I remember this
one
keep doing what why researchers
say
obesity is bad for the
environment
obesity and global warming both
heavy
topics now linked by a new
study from
the London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine it says
people who
weigh more tend to drive more
and eat
more and all that food it
shipped on
average 1,500 miles from words
grown to
your plate fat people
researchers
contend are killing the planet
more so
than those who are thin well I
don't
remember this clip you don't
know but
does this mean that fat people
are
causing global warming yeah
that's
that's a whole new dimension to
fat
shaming right there oh yeah
damn I know
I'm surprised it didn't catch
on there
was a I think the reason it
didn't catch
on is because most of the people
seriously in the global climate
crisis
are tend to be overweight
hopefully
since it's just making that up
there was
a what was this article and
know if it
was in the Los Angeles Times it
was it
was a professor he has from
California
to address climate change we
must
seriously question private
property
ownership I really like this
angle that
this guy is taking
who is this guys names from UCLA
aspirations of home ownership
and the
belief in the importance of
private
property could be reinforcing
the
conditions that result in
wildfires see
the idea here I think and maybe
it's
it's been part of the agenda 21
push and
subsequently the 2030 goals and
the 2050
climate neutrality is to not
let you
determine where you want to
live or what
your house looks like now you
should
just all be renting and the
homes will
be built specifically like
cinder blocks
I guess just a cinder block
where you
sit in it best new housing
developments
that you describe like that are
also
easily convertible into minimum
security
prisons they are sad for true
to no
agenda imagine all the people
who could
do this oh yeah that'd be fun
[Music]
and on we go with some people
that
helped us and show 12:03
starting with
Lauren smudski in Pleasant Grove
California and she sent a check
in and a
note you know I just came in

note

confess
I've been a No Agenda listener
since
early double-digit episodes

factor in
the 800 8 donation as I came up
with the
number a few weeks after the
6969
started and I added to my hit
my people
in the mouth speech my
girlfriend at the
time told me to list of the

this
much count and then he goes to
he leaves
cursor did you stop you

years in
several vacations but I finally
hit her
in the mouth about a year ago
I'd also

the contributions will be in
her name
going forward and since she
makes more
than me she's been indirectly
contributing to the show for
some time
now yes that's right get it
from your

she was
always making more money than

attention to the show or
dislike the

he
doesn't make as much money as

party
that's just like a party thanks
guys
thanks for sending that in and
this is
what happens at these meetups
people
come together who really in in
regular
passing in life would probably
never
bump into each other but we all
have
this one thing in common
amygdalas of normal size and we
can talk
about anything without anyone
getting
triggered about it because we
know it's
just not worth it we're not
participating in the game and
there will
be a number of them for the
month of
January Amsterdam kicks off on
the 3rd
at restaurant Delphine and
entrepreneurial is your
organizer for
that one that'll be at 5 o'clock
Amsterdam time at the same time
the
other end of the world Seattle
the
Seattle monthly at a new
location the
hop vine pub check the back of
the bar
Patrick will start organized
organizing
that at 7:30 then on the 7th of
January
the second biannual Knoxville
meetup for
a clock at Barley's Knoxville
sir seats
it are hosting for you also
undone on
the 9th that will be a show Dave
Thursday the note this is a
good one and
no agenda tuned man tour the
Beirut stop
this is Jesse Coyne Nelson he
has done
end of show mixes for months
almost
without fail every single show
and I've
seen him progress I mean you
you hear a
Jessica Nelson makes you'll
know it
right away because he often
sings and
it's atrocious but somehow it
makes it
work he's a traveling teacher
and he's
set up a number of meetups as I
said
Thursday the 9th in Beirut
Lebanon Jesse

rabbit hole

excelsior slaves come one come
all first
attempt at a Long Island and
New York
City Gitmo nation meet up meet
at st.
James restaurant and bar
Andrew Grasso will be hosting
that and
that is your a current overview
for no
agenda nation meetups go to no
agenda
meetups calm where you too can
enjoy in
this in this activity which is
a great
compliment to the show because
the
meeting people in person is
incredibly
important
having that human interaction
the troll
room is good no agenda social is
fantastic but when you get
together and
you drink and you talk and you
see each
other's faces and yeah you know
it and
the energies it's a very good
thing it's
fact scientific fact look it up
in the
model report
well that was a good report
yeah well
this is we got good people man
we got producers all over Gitmo
nation
well let's do at least of one
impeachment story which is that
the
impeachment has stalled stalled
and so
nobody knows what to do about
this and
so they don't even know how to
report it
here for example is NBC's report
President Trump and the first
voice of
dissent or at least
dissatisfaction
among Republican senators over
the way
the Senate leadership is
planning the
president's trial we get more
from Hans
Nichols tonight President Trump
dealing
with a potential Republican
defection on
impeachment Alaska senator Lisa
Murkowski signaling she's
unhappy with
senator Mitch McConnell's
pledge to work
in total coordination with the
White
House when I heard that I was
disturbed
Murkowski who has defied party
leaders
in the past responding to these
comments
from the Senate Majority Leader
last
week my kids from the from the
president's lawyers Murkowski
demanding
some distance from the White
House we
have to take that step back
from being
hand in glove with the defense
I need to
be able to sit back and look at
both
sides of this president Trump
has
relished in Republican unity on
impeachment we had a hundred
ninety six
or so republicans voting a
hundred
percent we didn't lose one
Republican
vote in the house while putting
his
faith in McConnell's Senate
Neves
ultimately that decisions going
to be
made by Mitch McConnell and he
will make
it he has the right to do
whatever he
wants he's the head of the
Senate but
Trump today admitting that
impeachment
is impeding his role as
commander in
chief writing on Twitter it
makes it
much more difficult to deal
with foreign
leaders and others when I am
having to
constantly defend myself
against the
do-nothing Democrats it Hans is
with us
now Hans how are other
Republicans
reacting to Senator Murkowski
comments
tonight
we heard from Louisiana Senator
John
Kennedy's a Republican and an
impeachment skeptic saying she's
entitled her opinion and Mitch
McConnell
is entitled to his but still no
news on
a potential trial or a start
date Wow a
minute and a half that I'll
never get
back yeah that's that's so empty
you know this is the biggest TV
show on
earth but the thing is Donald
Trump is
the show he's the show so
everything you
hear has to relate to Trump
every news
story everything Keith he can
never be
impeached the media if they
could would
give him a third term
he is the show yeah
yeah and now that the
impeachment
stalled yeah what do we do
these guys
are like beside themselves
because they
can't cover it parently as we
point out
on this show every show well
there's all
kinds of news stories around
that could
be covered yeah but that's not
the show
that no one cares about dead
people in
the Philippines we won't even
pull
global warming into it we can't
connect
it to trump did Trump ever have
a
Filipino hooker no sorry no
story what
else there they're working on
it now
there is there are some other
parts to
the big show that I wanted to
touch on
before we say goodbye to 2019
as the
show progresses if you don't
have money
then you're not in the show and
Elizabeth Warren I think is
running out
of money and when you run out
of money
you're not buying ahead to me
don't buy
ads you're not in the show you
get voted
off the island so now it's
Warren she
was great she was just great
just a few
days ago she was great but now
no she
doesn't like polling and I
don't know
her medicare-for-all answer
wasn't right
I mean it's annoying I think
when any
kind of political candidate
says I don't
do polls I mean yeah I get it
you don't
want to hire pollsters but you
can't
ignore the polls I mean the
polls 50% of
her voters are saying that
they're not
for Medicare for all is she
gonna ignore
that poll because her numbers
continue
to drop and is in Medicare for
all to
blame for Warren's crash should
she not
be paying attention to that
poll well
Medicare for all I think is a
big piece
of this puzzle because if
there's one
thing the Democratic voters
want it's
not actually universal
socialized health
care or anything like that it is
defeating Donald Trump so they
need to
nominate someone who will be
electable
and Elizabeth Warren over the
summer was
sort of positioning herself as
the
person who could be that who
could be
the electable progressive maybe
not as
far to the left as Bernie
Sanders but
maybe doing better sharper on
the trail
than Joe Biden but I think her
stumbles
around Medicare for all have
left some
Democratic voters a bit worried
that
she's not the person to get
them across
the finish line yeah in other
words she
has no money just look at the
numbers
she's running out of money
can't buy ads
can't buy polling numbers so
she's off
the island done you know out of
here
well if this is one of the rare
opportunities in California we
have because everyone wants to
be that's
word California's gonna be
important in
one election and one election
only
that's the Super Tuesday number
because
there's a lot of numbers
involved in
so although Democrats want to
win
California and so they're
advertising
here but if I watch the ads the
only two
people that are advertising to
an
extreme blow me every once in a
while an
ad comes in and it pops and it
pops out
there's only two and which one
take a
guess who Webb nuumber Bloomberg
Bloomberg is number one he and
who do
you think the second one is
biting well of course it's
Biden yeah I
should have known
yeah Bloomberg and Biden are
advertising
like crazy and I don't see
anybody else
advertising at all they're not
gonna
cory booker's never I've never
seen a
Cory Booker at no I think mayor
Pete is
now somewhat in play because he
does
have money that's why they call
him Wall
Street Pete
although Amy Goodman and
Michael Moore
had a hard time with the mayor
Pete the
other day I mean yeah just like
any
candidates politician you know
people
watching this will have their
disagreements or whatever the
one thing
you can't disagree with is he
has been
true to his convictions about
Bernie but
here comes the Millennial
that's running
their age I love that correct
themselves
and say I think that's his new
name put
Mary Putin may know mayor poot
now mayor
poot got a butt slammed by all
right
wing press and here's how Fox
News
presented his interview with
the Iowa
Des Moines Register wanna
legalize
marijuana but this is the first
time
we've heard a 20/20 contender
pledge to
decriminalize every single drug
out
there listen to this
our serrations should not even
be a
response to drug possession
maths coke
ecstasy all of it mayor Pete
releasing
his bold drug plan this week it
also
includes reducing sentences for
other
drug offense so you know this
is of
course what Fox News would do
timecode
that good if you listen to the
full and
now he sat with the Des Moines
Register
for an hour and a half but he's
actually
saying something a little bit
differently and I'll play it
since we
have some time it's a little
long about
two minutes I do not disagree
with what
he's saying we I think we've
discussed
on this show many times what
Portugal
did by now that must be 18
years ago
they decriminalize didn't
legalize they
decriminalized all drugs as far
as I
know you can you can go to a
doctor and
get a prescription for opioids
or
whatever whatever you need
whatever your
addiction is but across the
board the
numbers show that criminality
related to
drugs declined a prostitution
declined
significantly a lot of things
went down
and there is a difference
between not
locking people up who are
strung out who
clearly have a dependency issue
and need
medical help there's validity
to this
but when you the way it's
presented the
way Fox News just presented
that to you
he's intended to make you feel
my God
when a meth addict running
around never
mentioned Portugal in any of
these
reports we all need because
Portugal
it's just like what approves a
great
point but they it's not a point
anyone
wants to make it's weird and
you know I
am against the lowering of
standards for
crime you know if you're
drugged out and
you're committing crime or
you're in the
nuisance
goodbye you gotta go whatever
whatever
the penalty is whatever you're
doing but
just for possession or for
using or for
being addicted it's not
necessarily
something you should be locking
people
up for not real popular with
the Fox
News crowd I think I've
developed much
more in the direction of
criminal
justice reform I would not have
said
even five years ago that what I
believe
now which is that incarceration
should
not even be a response into drug
possession what I've seen is
that while
there continued to be all kinds
of harms
associated with drug possession
and use
it's also the case that we have
created
in an effort to deal with what
amounts
to a public health problem we
have
created an even bigger problem
a justice
problem and its own form of the
health
problem if you think about the
adverse
impact on the time we have kids
in South
Bend who've grown up with the
incarceration of a parent as
one of
their first experience that
makes them
dramatically more likely to
wind up
themselves having an encounter
with the
criminal legal system and so
I've always
been skeptical of mass
incarceration but
what I love that line I've
always been
skeptical of mass incarceration
yeah
everybody should be skeptical
of mass
incarceration pute what is that
you know what Hitler did mass
incarceration that was very
skeptical
geez poot one of their first
experience
that makes them dramatically
more likely
to wind up themselves having an
encounter with the criminal
legal system
and so I've always been
skeptical of
mass incarceration but but now
I believe
more than ever that we need to
take
significant steps like ending
incarceration as a response to
simple
possession
on that is that across the
board so if
it's a mess so you're hearing
all this
context which Fox News doesn't
give you
and here comes the one piece
they took
out of it and listen what he
says after
that for ecstasy any drugs if
it's
possession the incarceration
isn't
that's right it doesn't mean
legalization of everything and
you know
one issue that gets
dramatically less
attention than some other forms
of
addiction is something like
synthetic
marijuana in our city it's
mostly
affecting African American
youth but in
a case like that what we found
is it's
convenience stores selling this
stuff
that is basically rat poison
sprayed
onto grass you'd be much better
off with
real marijuana for this stuff
very toxic
and we've worked with the
community to
make sure that we were
addressing it at
supply in with anybody who was
selling
right the reality is we're
seeing more
and more counties and states
prosecutors
local criminal legal systems
who want to
keep people out of
incarceration but
don't have the funding so that
their
long back locks on these
alternative to
incarceration programs of these
diversion courts that's the
example of
the sort of thing the federal
money
ought to go into it's another
example of
something that pays for itself
higher
rates of rehabilitation
another the cost of
incarceration
another the human cost of
people being
divided from their family their
community or whatever support
network
might be best positioned to
help them
through an addiction scenario
and again
don't get me wrong I'm not
talking about
blanket I do believe in
legalization of
marijuana but I'm not talking
about
blanket decriminalization of a
lot of
other harmful substances I'm
saying that
our enforcement efforts should
be
targeted at those who are
willfully and
sometimes violently profiting
off of it
not at those who get caught up
at the
level of having a substance
abuse
problem so the sad thing about
this is
here's a newsroom with eight
people from
the board of the Iowa Des Moines
Register and not a single one
of them
can come up with lucid thought
about
incarceration being a huge
business in
America that is set up by
politicians
who who want people to be
incarcerated
because it's money in the bank
what is
the name of the company the
correctional
facilities no Corporation of
America
there's one of them there's
another one
with a more high-tech name that
I can't
recall something in the chat
room knows
what it is not a single person
of that
newspaper this really important
newspaper can come up with that
Trump so obvious and then the
final
thing I actually watched these
Des
Moines Register interviews
because well
because only little snippets
are taken
out and force-fed into the left
or right
paradigm whatever you're living
in so it
can affect you Joe Biden said
I'm not
gonna refuse also does that
exactly what
he said and all really do you
stand by
your earlier statements that you
wouldn't comply if you were
subpoenaed
to testify and then impeachment
trial
before Essen correct and the
reason I
wouldn't is because it's all
designed to
deal with Trump doing when he's
done his
whole life trying to take the
focus off
him the issue is not what I did
not a
single person a single person
even that
thug Giuliani is pretty
compared really
have said I did anything other
than my
job every one of the people
whose sworn
testimony work for him said
Biden did
his job and he did it well this
is all
about a diversion and we play
his game
all the time he's done in this
whole
career he's done in this whole
career
and I'm very proud of the job I
did I
never never never moved off of
dealing
with corruption there every
single
person thought that prosecuted
Germans
should be fired from the IMF to
all our
European partners and the
people in the
administration but this is a
technique
he uses all the time he's a
chronic liar
does that position you as if
you're
defying a subpoena to putting
yourself
above the law well look the
grounds for
leg to call me would be
overwhelmingly
specious but so I don't
anticipate that
happen in any way but what it
would do
if I went let's say I
voluntarily just
said literally go make my case
what are
you gonna cover you guys are
instead of
folks maybe you're gonna cover
for three
weeks anything I said and he's
gonna get
away you guys buy into app all
the time
what a joke think about it as
we say in
my church examine your
conscience
doesn't mean I shouldn't
testify if you
thought I should put sake
what's the
battle it's all about what he
does all
the time his entire career take
the
focus off this guy violated the
Constitution he said it in the
driveway
of the White House being
knowledge he
asked for help don't you find it
fascinating this the only
president that
thinks that you know I've
learned three
things one letter recruiting
doesn't
want me to be President and
that's why I
spent millions of duction all
these
thousands of BOTS they were
finally
taken down so Joe goes nuts at
the end
they're just rushing BOTS around
Facebook but what he what he
the reason
why you didn't hear this is
because he's
calling out the media in his
own Joe way
but he's saying you guys focus
on that
everything he doesn't said it's
like
he'll get away now true or not
doesn't
matter but he's scolding them
so we
can't tell you what Joe said
just that
he said he won't go
and that is why you need to
continue to
produce no agenda in 2020 as
this is how
we help you this is what keeps
you sane
and thank you for those of you
who
helped produce this in more
ways than
just donations
it's just we have a lot of your
eyes
your size assumes it's a
community
effort
we're what we're kind of what
the left
once that wants to be I do have
a couple
of things I wanted to get out
of the way
first of all let's clear out -
Eddie
Gallagher story
and which is gonna go which is
gonna go
nowhere I don't know anything
about the
Eddie Gallagher story well you
should
know about the Eddie
Gallagher's tomb
god that's why here we go to
start with
any Gallagher one and you get
catch up a
retired Navy SEAL who's been
celebrated
by President Trump is under new
scrutiny
tonight after the weekly a
documentary
series from the New York Times
obtained
videotaped interviews from the
Navy
investigation of Gallagher's
conduct and
we want to warn you what you're
about to
see and hear is disturbing now
is this
the guy who took a trophy
photos with
dead Iraqis yes okay yeah this
is this
is a problem with this is a
problem in
general well this is a problem
in
general and a guy if the guy's
a psycho
like some of these people like
to say
behind behind behind closed
doors it's
possible you have to remember
he's not
in the name he already got
drummed out
right and the whole thing that
Trump did
even though this is really an
attempt to
just slam Trump
it was the get him his little
his little
pin back and that pretty much
is all he
wanted mm-hmm and so Trump did
that in
many people thought it was fine
I mean
the National Security Adviser
this guy
O'Brien defended Trump there's
a lot of
people that the right wing was
all in on
this because they thought this
guy was
getting railroaded and he was
getting
rubbed drummed out for no good
reason
well let's but it's possible
there was
good reason but whatever the
case it's a
Trump met with him the way the
way Obama
met with Bergdahl but Obama
paid for
Bergdahl
yeah well yes Obama paid for
Bergdahl to
get out Trump really didn't did
what
this wasn't a big money loser or
anything really bad but let's
play play
through this because we had a
number of
people bitching moan that we
never we're
not covering it as if it was
like this
is a scandal but he had let's
play
Gallagher - yeah I got crazier
in 2018
one after another Navy SEALs
expressed
grave
turns about their platoon
leader Eddie
Gallagher they are going
against this
unwritten rule of not taking
dirty
laundry outside of the seals in
Navy
tapes obtained by the weekly
they accuse
Gallagher of targeting
civilians women
and children it kind of turned
into the
platoon being and he's personal
like
sniper escort to get him from
place to
place so you could try to do
this in a
garage he's just fighting metal
pieces
team members saying they would
intentionally fire shots to
warn Iraqi
civilians other snipers was
shoot so
they were run away in hide
before any
would the times also obtaining
helmet
camera video never seen outside
of a
courtroom
a young Isis fighter had been
wounded by
a bomb Gallagher is seen with a
medic
bag pushing him and then the
camera goes
black it is not clear why in a
text
message later the New York
Times says
Gallagher writes he got him
with my
hunting knife but that seal
Corey Scott
changed his story in a
bombshell moment
at Gallagher's trial last
summer after
being granted immunity he said
he was
the one who killed the Isis
fighter yes
okay I'll waiting for all to
play before
I render my judgement here well
then
play the third clip Eddie
Gallagher was
acquitted on charges of murder
and
attempted murder he was found
guilty of
posing for a photo with the
corpse they
went in and they just told these
completely fantastic
unsupported and
fake stories Gallagher's
attorney says
the New York Times is trying to
re-litigate the story and says
Gallagher
has asked him to sue reporter
Dave
Phillips there's a couple of
members of
the time
who had a personal animosity
towards
Eddie Gallagher
you know they didn't perform
well in
combat they were afraid of
being called
out for being cowards they made
up a
story and they went with it
this past
weekend Gallagher posed for
photos with
President Trump at mar-a-lago
it was a
great fighter he was the one of
the
ultimate fighters tough guy in
November
President Trump
ordered the Pentagon not to
strip
Gallagher of his rank and
Trident pin
we're still sort of you know on
cloud
nine about it now but I can
tell you
that you know we my family is
completely
you know grateful for this
decision the
Navy SEALs tonight and an
attorney for
Cory Scott are not commenting
NBC News
has not spoken with any of the
individual seals shown in those
taped
interviews but the New York
Times says
it reached out to every one of
them they
all declined to comment
huh so this is a story that is
is
undecipherable you don't know
one way or
the other on this the it but
it's on
it's water under the bridge at
this
point well and why are they
dredging
this up if they can't even
prove it well
because it's just an antitrust
story yes
an anti-trump story but in
general
civilians who have never been
in combat
need to shut up we have this
expectation
somehow we are you know we're
the we're
the proud men and women and we
we have
the righteousness on our side
and we go
in there we do clean kills no
we drone
people we shoot them up in half
we do
horrible things hand-to-hand
combat
IEDs on boat everywhere war is
ugly ugly
business no one has the right
to talk
about it unless you've been
people who
have been in combat who have a
thousand-yard stare they don't
talk
about it this whole thing is
actually
insulting just - it's insulting
to war
war is horrible it's ugly it's
nasty
people are being shredded to
bits
and now that's why we should be
getting
out of these unnecessary yes is
the key
word yes
unnecessary Wars I mean it the
people
behind these unnecessary Wars
or a bunch
haven't served themselves
half-hour
general second sir chicken
Hawks have
not served yeah it's disgusting
I can't
believe that I mean I we
haven't done
this story I know why I haven't
done it
because of course I saw come by
but I
don't like
I can't bring myself to talk
about
something that I really cannot
talk
about and to hear other pundits
and
douchebags talking about what's
right or
what's not right give no I I
was in Iraq
for ten days you wanna know
what scared
shitless is go to the desert
where these
boys and girls are and and
where they're
being fired I have no idea
what's going
on you'll talk very differently
so this whole thing is
disgusting that
it's that they're bringing it
up just
just to do an anti-trump story
hell
awaits you dickheads hell yeah
all right
here's the story about for your
ally
yeah take us out on a high note
John got
to get ahead this will be a
high note I
know a real high note huh yes
because
we're gonna talk about drones
to be
regulated
the FAA today put out the most
comprehensive proposal yet to
regulate
drones the new rules are
designed to
make the skies safer and they
wouldn't
just affect commercial drones
but also
smaller consumer drones too
gotta
Schwartz has those details in
the skies
across America more drone
liftoffs than
ever before from hobbyists to
delivery
drones and tonight a sweeping
rule
proposed by the FAA could bring
real-time tracking the most
drones as
soon as they take flight think
virtual
drone license plates with
beacons that
broadcast their location and
identity
even for small drones bought by
consumers a tracking system that
regulators say is needed before
massive
fleets of drones start making
the kind
of same-day deliveries
companies like
Amazon Google and UPS have been
planning
for years the new proposal also
aimed at
addressing safety issues when
it comes
to close calls with the new rule
allowing law enforcement to
monitor
where nearly every drone takes
off the
NTSB already investigating
several
instances of drones crashing
into
aircraft and even a hot air
balloon in
Idaho seen here from the drones
camera
as it hits the side and tumbles
out of
the sky
a drone hitting an aircraft of
any size
is potentially a life or death
situation
dozens of other drones getting
way too
close
sometimes shutting down air
traffic and
causing massive delays at
airports like
Newark for grounding critical
air
operations during catastrophic
wildfires
over there drop down for now the
proposal is only a draft giving
the
public 60 days to comment and
then
another three years after the
regulations are finalized to
take effect
and until then any plans for
large-scale
drone deliveries are still a
future out
of reach
Scotty Schwartz NBC News Los
Angeles
well I don't know exactly what
was in
this report because it was just
what I
think is going on is that drone
delivery
to your home is not going to
happen it
will be it'll take 30 years for
the
self-driving car to be
everywhere if
it's even in 30 years this is
not going
to happen it's a danger to
menace to
society it's a danger to anyone
who has
a drone flying overhead with
the package
it's all intended for investors
it's
meant to sex up the company
where's uber
were there with their people
drones no
it's all meant to get investors
excited
to bring more money into your
secondary
offerings has nothing to do
with reality
dream on it's not gonna happen
I'm
all-in
you're right is exactly what it
is they
get their little publicity for
it and
that's it that's you miss the
kind of
the new where they actually
showed three
drones one with the UPS logo
one with an
Amazon logo and one with
another logo
exactly
that's it for your
deconstruction for
2019 we will return it to 2019
we'll
return after us on that no
