About this episode

Donald Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom triggered massive demonstrations in London, featuring the viral Trump Baby blimp and intense clashes between Remainers and Brexit supporters. During an interview with The Sun, the President warned Prime Minister Theresa May that her current negotiation strategy could kill a future US-UK trade deal. The visit has intensified the narrative of a global political crisis as European leaders grapple with the administration’s unpredictable foreign policy.

FBI Agent Peter Strzok faced a volatile joint hearing before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees regarding anti-Trump text messages sent to Lisa Page. Representatives Trey Gowdy and Louie Gohmert challenged Strzok on his August 2016 vow to stop the Trump candidacy, while Democratic members like Jerry Nadler and Sheila Jackson Lee pivoted to the border crisis. Testimony also touched on Strzok’s out-of-scope polygraph results and his removal from Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel team. Meanwhile, the OPCW issued an interim report on Douma, Syria, finding no evidence of nerve agents despite previous media claims used to justify military intervention.

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee repeatedly mispronounced WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s name as Julian Assad during the heated congressional proceedings. The episode also highlights a bizarre digital glitch at the Oakland Zoo that left visitors suspended in Swiss-made gondolas for thirty minutes. Executive Producer Heather Fuchinari and Associate Executive Producer Michael Delosier provided essential support for this deep dive into the non-stop chaos scandal outrage machine.

California Recycling Crisis, Chinese Contamination Standards

California faces a recycling crisis as local facilities struggle to process banned plastic bags and Amazon packaging materials. China has implemented stricter 99% purity standards for recycled materials, leading to the rejection of contaminated American waste. Consequently, items previously destined for recycling are being diverted back to landfills.

california· recycling· china· plastic bags· contamination

00:00 Well, the whole thing is depressing. I just read an article today about how California is the great hope of recycling.

00:38 The great hoax of recycling. You read it wrong I'm sorry you read the same article? No Oh, there was this- I didn't save it because I'm like alright Of course you didn't save it Fix the poop and then I'll believe it They've decided Yes That they can't ha- we're over recycling Huh They little plastic bags that they've y'know banned but they still around These were plastic bags Yeah They don't want them Wait, the recycle bags that the homeless people used to poop in? Yeah. Oh my goodness! They don't want them and they don't want bubble wrap and they don't want that crap that Amazon stuffs in their packages with you pop the big giant pillows. Hmm hmm... Huh I can't find this story I do not know where it was And he said oh no we can take anymore We don't know what to do with this stuff What does is amount too? I dunno What's the base what are things really behind it

01:33 We send all of our crap everywhere. The Chinese won't take it anymore! Yeah, the Chinese won't take... Oh but we already discussed this because... They made a big stink about it. Literally yeah no the what I remember is our recycling is so poor that the recycled material was too contaminated the Chinese don't want to deal with it That was the article yeah Well was contaminated in other words they used to have a broader like you know if there's a little dirt in the bag or something They didn't now it has to be some like 99% or 9 not that hot not that high like 90 percent right? Pristine, but we can't seem to deliver that well. I'm sorry I can't warn you enough But we do need you there on the scene boots on the ground as the ship sinks oh

CHAPTER 02 / 58 Discussion

No Agenda Show Support, Listener Donation Frustration

The hosts open the program by expressing frustration over low listener support following their extensive analysis of nine hours of FBI testimony on C-SPAN. Despite featuring compelling photos in the show's newsletter, only about 30 people donated, leading to a discussion about potentially taking a summer hiatus.

no agenda· donations· fbi testimony· c-span· newsletter

02:21 That is kind of important for you to stay in California. So they're putting all these bags in the dump? The way they used to do it! Yeah, good old days... nice Well, before we get underway here today I think that anyone listening to this program would realize that this would be a very important show an important episode in light of the enormous amount of energy spent on going through nine hours of FBI testimony. Which anything that involves C-SPAN is always a lot of work and that came in Thursday You know, a lot of things that we need to look at with the... A lot of hate towards the US from UK. Just a lot to do! I think it was obvious and important show Would you agree? No But i only say that just to be... A dick?! Contrary... Just like the UK Did you see those photos in the newsletter? You're not gonna let me finish my statement because I'm little pissed off

03:24 Okay, the support we got for this show. I have other things to do with my life Oh yeah, I'm telling you right now. I'm serious look why don't we just take the summer off? No, let's just take the summer off and ridiculous lie often be not it'd be a bad idea okay Well, I just need to get it out of my system because it's just gonna sit there festering cuz I'm pissed about it Yeah, everybody oh can't wait for the analysis. It's gonna be great show What like 30 people may be donated total including under 50 come on? Alright, I'm done. Yes! I saw the pictures in the newsletter... I thought the pictures in a newsletter would get us more donations than it did. Yeah, you know- Either that or maybe the pictures are so depressing that, I mean, it's deterred possibly we did get a nasty note from some guy. I should read it

CHAPTER 03 / 58 Discussion

Donald Trump UK Visit, Anti-Trump Protests in London

Donald Trump's visit to the United Kingdom sparked massive protests in London, featuring the "Trump Baby" blimp and various derogatory signs. The hosts contrast Hillary Clinton's 2016 concession speech promises with her subsequent opposition to the administration. They note that mainstream media focused heavily on the balloon while ignoring the scale of the actual demonstrations.

donald trump· united kingdom· london· hillary clinton· protests

04:18 Now let's just explain what we're talking about here. You know, there were protests in the United Kingdom as the president was there—the United States President—and the protests were all about how Trump is horrible... He's a dick! He's Hitler! Shittler was my favorite. Wait I had a new jingle for this. This is it. Here's a short Trump rotation. Racist! Sexist! Homophobic! Xenophobic! Now, name the voice! That's Hillary. Is that me? That's Hilary. Oh, that's Hillary! That's Hillary slowed down. Very good you tricked me completely. That's Hillary slowed down. Wait I want you to remember what... Can you play it sped up at a regular speed? No no I can't Well then that's Hillary but what did Hillary actually say

05:17 compared to what did she do after the election. I got a clip, the Hillary concession... The archive clip play it. Last night i congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country Donald Trump is going to be our president Oh she offered doesn't mean she meant it sincerely just an offer that's just words She offered to work with him but what does she do instead? Worked against him. Yes, well she offered a Fantastic American she is yes yeah so the president's over there in the UK and He's Before you go there I just want to make the final comment about those pictures that were in the newsletter yes which is Nobody in the main mainstream media over here showed any of this

06:13 They short sheeted the demonstration, which was massive. Yeah they pretty much only showed the blimp. Well blimp is a big word. The pathetic balloon of... They showed the balloon and that was pretty funny but they didn't show any of the demonstrations which were extremely rude very un-British Seems to me also I saw signs, you know Americans in the UK You know so there's a bunch of expats doing this as well Have to endure constant Needling while you live there. I know I have British friends and when I talk to them is like oh your guy Trump Yeah, yeah There's a lot of that some sure they're sick of it but taking it out Nice and the World Workers Party made all the signs

Andrea Mitchell MSNBC Coverage, Royal Protocol Criticism

MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell criticized Donald Trump's visit to Windsor Castle, comparing it unfavorably to the state visits of Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan. Media coverage focused on alleged breaches of royal protocol during the President's meeting with Queen Elizabeth II. The hosts identify "again" as a new media buzzword used to concatenate various grievances against the President.

andrea mitchell· msnbc· queen elizabeth ii· windsor castle· protocol

07:03 Well, a lot of them were made by them. But there was also a liberal party made a lot of signs yet there was just a lot of nonsense going on and it should have been reported on it didn't get report one of the reports I think you may be here at one of the clips which is it was glossed over like oh that was a big protest but it wasn't as big as they'd hoped That was the report. Well, part of the issue although the protests went on long enough for them to cover it MSNBC Andrea Mitchell had three screens Because we had the president with the Queen and of course he looked like a buffoon He did it all wrong didn't you know didn't do protocol turned his butt to the queen. I'm not sure what he did wrong Then we had yes, then We had the protests and then we were all waiting for Rod Rosenstein to come out with these fantastic indictments Of more Russians And here's a clip of Andrea's hate as we see the present leaving Windsor Castle so that was a very abbreviated

08:04 Royal welcome. This is not at all the state visit, the overnight, the state dinner that the Obamas and other presidents Ronald Reagan... When I hear this what these people want is they want a fairy tale They want to fairy tale of oh there's the Queen it's so romantic It's old-fashioned world. It's so wonderful and the Obamas knew how to do it right? Not at all, the state visit the overnight the state dinner that the Obamas and other presidents Ronald Reagan and others he was at Windsor the Obama's were at Buckingham Palace He had tea with the Queen So we can say that there was a royal welcome but this is a direct result

08:42 of his policies, his pronouncements, his violation of intelligence agreements by announcing things about what happened in Manchester. Other offenses that have been made and now again with this visit again with this interview that he did I like this use the word again and Andrea Mitchell does it allot But you'll hear it more and more in the M5M lexicon. Again! Which is now we can just concatenate everything that has been said about Trump, the entire rotation just goes into the word again. Again! You see what he's doing? Again! Manchester other offenses that have been made and now again with this visit

09:30 Again, with this interview that he did with the British tabloid which so offended and could be undermining Theresa May's prime ministership. We're going to have to leave it there. This has been a remarkable split screen show. A three way split between the protesters in London and of course what is happening at Windsor and most importantly in terms of the American election process what happened here with Rod Rosenstein's announcement Now, Trump did an interview with The Sun. That is the British tabloid she mentioned and the interview was actually recorded on tape it wasn't just a printed interview which made it more interesting for our show

CHAPTER 05 / 58 Discussion

Donald Trump Sun Interview, Theresa May Brexit Advice

Donald Trump conducted a recorded interview with The Sun tabloid, stating that Theresa May's Brexit strategy might "kill" a potential US-UK trade deal. The President claimed he offered May advice on how to negotiate with the European Union, but she chose an opposite route. Media outlets characterized the remarks as highly offensive to the British Prime Minister.

theresa may· the sun· brexit· trade deal· european union

10:12 Here is the offense that our president made, and by the way she's not my queen I just want people to know that. Well if they do a deal like that it will most likely because we'll be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with UK so it will probably kill the deal with... If they do that their trade deal with US will probably not be made What did you mean? Because we have enough difficulty with the European Union. You know, we are... We're cracking down right now on the European Union because they have not treated the United States fairly on trade. Now if they do that I would say that would probably end a major trade relationship with the United States. I actually told Theresa May how to do it but she didn't agree with- She didn't listen to me What did you say? She didn't listen No, I told her

11:07 how to do it. That will be up to her to say, but I told her how to do it she just said she wanted to go a different route. So you would be prepared walk away if they didn't give you the right terms? Oh absolutely! I think what's going on is very unfortunate too long... You know deals that take too long are never good ones. What did you mean by the UK being too long? A deal takes so long somehow They never work out very well. I did give Teresa who I like, I did give her my views on what she should do and how she should negotiate and she didn't follow those views. I would actually say that she probably went the opposite way if you really look at it. She probably went the opposite way and that's fine! You know? She should negotiate in the best way she knows how but its too bad

12:01 Oh, so offensive! So offensive to say these things. And he gave her- He said here's how I would do it and she went the other way okay? Yeah the sun made a mountain out of a molehill and everybody got all bent out of shape in it again there was all these crazy protesters which were like completely unhinged with all kinds of mixed messages, which I thought were fascinating personally. Especially the Brexit stuff because you can just see this is everything but that was in the street marching with Trump as a big piece of poop with red hair. Every one of these people are

CHAPTER 06 / 58 Discussion

Brexit Blame, Nigel Farage and UK Remainers

Protesters in London are increasingly blaming Donald Trump for the Brexit outcome due to his public support for Nigel Farage and the "Leave" campaign. The hosts argue that the demonstrations were primarily organized by "Remainers" who are angry that the UK is leaving the EU. They criticize Farage for "taking his foot off the pedal" by resigning after the vote.

brexit· nigel farage· london· remainers· european union

12:51 Not, they're all remainers. Trump never went to London. ABC reported that he went to London and met with the Queen but didn't mention he met with the Queen in Windsor and then he went to Blenheim, a big castle that had his fancy dinner that was with May and others He never went to London. Yeah, he said in that same interview, he said I didn't go to London because it didn't seem like people wanted to welcome me and says by the way you're not doing this to Donald Trump, you're doing this to the American people! You're being rude which but again... Which is why and I mentioned this again in the newsletter which is why I believe they did mainstream media in United States did not play anything about the demonstration because it would have gotten

13:37 under the American skin. I mean, yeah even to people who hate Trump we can hate Trump in our country what business is of yours to hate him like this? I'll tell you why no because this is the the remainers Who hate Trump? Yes, as you recall Trump, you know multiple times has said well You know Wouldn't be a good idea if you guys stay in the EU because it's gonna be hard for us to do a deal We're doing a deal with the big block and then we can't do a deal with you. He's friends with Nigel Farage You know he was like oh I can't wait. I hope that they the people of England speak their mind and that they vote right That was the day before Brexit

14:19 So of course he's complicit. He did it! This is the great thing people are blaming Brexit on Trump Yes, they are and that was very clear in the protests Yeah so I understand what they hate They hate Brexit and Brexit is gonna go down to defeat because Farage took his foot off the pedal by quitting Yep And I blame Farage yeah Well, there was plenty of hate back here. If you want to get into it I have a multi-parter from NPR which was beyond typical for them. I guess the silence means you're interested? Yes, I'm all ears. Yeah, you're interested. This is what I... Very interesting! Well NPR still has credibility certainly with... They've got shit ton of credibility. Even though their news director was unceremoniously fired for being a douchebag in the hashtag Me Too movement

NPR Global Disruption Tour, European Diplomatic Crisis

NPR reports suggest that European leaders are facing a "global political crisis" due to Donald Trump's unpredictable foreign policy. The network introduced the term "Global Disruption Tour" to describe the President's recent interactions with NATO and his upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin. Bureaucrats express concern that traditional intelligence-sharing alliances are being undermined.

npr· nato· vladimir putin· china· global disruption tour

15:18 their news is still pretty good. But listen, this is on point and Michael Z did a bang-up job of helping me go there was a very long episode we cut it down to just a couple of clips here but the way they're speaking and there's multiple people in these clip so I'll try mention them by name multiple people who are using existing but also new Meme ology I would call it and trying to launch new memes you know because what do we have now not not necessarily on? His personal being but about what he does What do we have in the rotation, oh, I don't have the rotation in front of me. Oh wait. No you have a job web page There's a webpage somewhere for this. Oh yeah, it's Electric weenie yeah okay that's cosmic

16:16 Cosmic weenies. I'm sorry, I should get these things right Well and it doesn't matter Here are a couple And the topics, this was really about Trump and the topics discussed in this were his visit to UK NATO and of course is upcoming meeting with Putin. European leaders are finding that there is no way to really understand this man he's unpredictable to the point where they have no faith or trust in him and I think it's forcing them too consider whether there are alternatives depending on the United States at least for the next

16:52 two and a half years, whether they have to chart more of an independent course. I don't think any of them really want to contemplate closer alignment for instance with China our great rival power and certainly at this point Russia is out of the question but they feel like they can't depend on America They don't know what to expect And this is a global political crisis Lisa Lerner Do you think it's that serious? A global political crisis or do you think people are just kind Listening to the president and thinking, well you know wait 15 minutes and see what he says. Oh no! I think it's a global political crisis. I totally agree with Michael. It is a global political crisis we are witnessing John. That somebody told us because we need to know this for the show by the way that website is cosmicweenie dot com slash trump underlined flaws dot

17:49 HTM? Exactly. I love you, man! Thanks for keeping with our show format in the style guide that's very important here we go bureaucrats around the world because of this global political crisis don't know what to do and it's unclear for those mid-level bureaucrats they don't European bureaucrats they don't know if what the US side is telling them it's true if its agreed to across administration if those are promises that those, that the U.S side can keep and that makes getting anything done basically impossible including sharing intelligence which is a big point of a lot of these alliances, a big piece of it so this global disruption tour is a big problem Global disruption tour? Yes Wow I love that Isn't that good The global disruption tour he's coming your way

CHAPTER 08 / 58 Discussion

Liberal World Order, CIA Warnings to Israel

Media outlets are increasingly using the term "Liberal World Order" to describe the international systems allegedly being trashed by the Trump administration. A report from New York Magazine claims the CIA warned Israeli intelligence not to share secrets with Trump because Vladimir Putin might have leverage over him. The hosts question the validity of these claims and the "cornerstone" status of NATO.

liberal world order· cia· israel· mossad· vladimir putin

18:44 And... Wow. That took a lot of nerve! No bias there! Nah, it's just NPR those guys are on the up and up. In this next clip there is a term that is used a little differently in general but they are using here and I want everyone to be on the lookout for this because one my favorite terms we're always looking out for someone talking about The New World Order and we have all kinds of variants, but in the past couple days since Trump went to the UK I've been hearing the following. Jack Beattie are you what do you think about this notion that that Trump is basically talking to his folks back home and he's...and if a few foreign leaders are bruised in the process so be it?

19:31 I think that's partly true. He is talking to them, he is also talking for Vladimir Putin! This week New York Magazine cited an Israeli report that an Israeli, right after Trump's inauguration, the CIA called in Israeli intelligence operatives and said to them basically, Putin has something on the President. And we would advise you not to share any secrets with him." Well then a few months later in the Oval Office he did share a particular secret about ISIS with the Russian ambassador and foreign minister.

20:11 You know, if that's what the CIA was thinking about the president then he has done nothing since to contradict that view. That Putin has something on him and what Putin wants above all is what the president has been doing disrupting, trashing the structure the liberal order and this weekend uh... this week NATO. The cornerstone of American security. Okay the term is the liberal world order typically it's now being used everywhere huh and this is new

CHAPTER 09 / 58 Discussion

Israeli Intelligence Claims, Trump and ISIS Secrets

The hosts deconstruct claims that Donald Trump compromised Israeli intelligence by sharing ISIS-related secrets with Russian officials in the Oval Office. They argue the reporting is convoluted, as it suggests the CIA warned Israel not to trust Trump, yet Israel allegedly provided the information anyway. The discussion touches on the "pee-pee tape" rumors as a potential source of Russian leverage.

israel· isis· cia· vladimir putin· intelligence

20:50 I didn't, I'm glad you caught that. I caught something in this little piece that was interesting he used one of these flipper-oos that the mainstream media does where he makes an assertion and then proves it with something that's got nothing to do with it At the very beginning he says, oh the CIA and the... Well let's listen. You stop it when you're ready. Jack Beattie are you what do you think about this notion that Trump is basically talking to his folks back home and if a few foreign leaders are bruised in the process so be it? I think that's partly true. He is talking to them, he is also talking for Vladimir Putin. This week New York Magazine cited an Israeli report

21:37 that an Israeli, right after Trump's inauguration, the CIA called in Israeli intelligence operatives and said to them basically Putin has something on the president and we would advise you not to share any secrets with him. Well then a few months later in the Oval Office he did share a particular secret about ISIS. Right this is something that no one witnessed? No it's...no! It's not at all He says the CIA told the Israelis don't share anything with Trump because that Putin's got something on him. And then to prove his point, he says and then it happened! Trump told somebody something but wait a minute

22:27 This is the Israelis are not supposed to talk to Trump and not give Trump info. If Trump says something about something, whatever it is what's that got to do with? It is not a proof I agree What kind of convoluted reporting isn't why doesn't somebody who's sitting there say wait a minute? What are you talking about please they wouldn't do that because then they know that we can't clip it That would be completely wrong So let's go over this again. The CIA told Israeli intelligence not to talk to Trump because Trump is compromised, and then Trump talked about something the Russians did to the public in some closed system... No no no he mentioned something about an Israeli initiative that that's the way I recall the story but he told the Russians that

23:24 Trump telling the Russians something about the Israelis in regards to ISIS. Oh, boy then play it back then I may have mistaken this. I think you might have and if a few foreign leaders are bruised in the process so be it! I think that's partly true he is talking to them He's also talking for Vladimir Putin This week New York Magazine cited an Israeli report that an Israeli, right after Trump's inauguration the CIA called in Israeli intelligence operatives and said to them basically Putin has something on the president and we would advise you not to share any secrets with him. Well then a few months later in the Oval Office he did share a particular secret about ISIS. So what they're talking about is

24:16 some highly sensitive Israeli intelligence on ISIS. I may have jumped to conclusions Some of it still holds because the Israelis clearly didn't listen to that advice and they told Trump some secret About ISIS? Yeah But that could've been planted for a purpose as check Trump out Whatever the case, The way this guy... What is it with... Okay, the CIA knows Russia has something on Trump supposedly which may account for the CIA's being so adamant about screwing with the presidency in the United States I mean, it would make some sense. What is it? I have no idea! It's the peepee tape! If there's something... There must be something that they must know... It's the peepee tape!!

25:03 What else could it be? That's the one we all want to see. Nothing will... my life will not be complete until I've seen the peepee tape." The guy does say something very weird at the end here that I do want to highlight. He structure, the liberal order and this weekend, uh, this week NATO! The cornerstone of American security Oh really is NATO the cornerstone of our security Since when yeah, this is NPR. I just want to point it out well. I mean it Yeah, maybe no It's the cornerstone of European security course design for course we can protect ourselves yes

CHAPTER 10 / 58 Discussion

Misogyny Allegations, Trump Attacks on Female Leaders

An NPR caller alleged that Donald Trump uses misogyny as a political tool by specifically attacking female leaders like Angela Merkel and Theresa May. The caller also linked the President's demand for Elizabeth Warren to take a DNA test to the Me Too movement. The hosts counter that Merkel and May simply lead the two most important countries in the European Union.

elizabeth warren· angela merkel· theresa may· misogyny· dna test

25:41 And let's take a call. Callers are listening to NPR and let's hear what they have to say. Yeah, I wanted to make the point that it's no coincidence that Trumps attack on our European allies you know his gift to Putin that he chose to do it in such way where he is attacking two female European leaders and if you put that into context of what he said about Elizabeth Warren this week, who I'm no huge fan of hers necessarily. But his implications about gently forcing her to take a DNA test... That's our president talking about our senator making fun of the Me Too movement, I believe implying rape?

26:28 So it's clear that misogyny is definitely a tool he has been using, and I would also like to make the point that he is using this to also appeal to the right in these European countries. It's not just his base – he is trying to build an international group which I find extremely frightening given the history of last century The caller's point is that he is a trained misogynist, uses it everywhere to his political advantage and is attacking female European leaders. I thought he was just a buffoon who didn't know what he was doing now? He's some great schemer! Now let's go over two things with the guy said... He had this thing about Elizabeth Warren okay we'll just ignore that yeah and it had nothing to do with rape here take a DNA test you were raped yeah guess what he's trying to imply

27:21 What's, what are they? If you take a look at Europe right now who is the dominant country. Germany Was that run by a guy? It's uncertain at this point Hey I'm trying to do something serious here I need some proof Yeah, well there's that. He does look a little like... or she. So it runs into... okay and then who is our best ally in the EU that is really at the top of the news right now? I think its the United Kingdom So Trump's attacking two women out of the blue. Yes misogynist There are the two leaders of the two most important countries in the EU period it's beautiful Well, but that's just a caller here granted he was pretty professional sounding actually I kind of liked it I wish we had a shill well could be

CHAPTER 11 / 58 Discussion

Non-Stop Chaos Scandal Outrage Machine Meme

The hosts highlight a new descriptive phrase used on NPR: "Non-stop chaos scandal outrage machine." They attempt to turn the phrase into an acronym (NSCCOM) and discuss how the media uses such repetitive descriptors to frame the public's perception of the administration's daily activities.

npr· memes· acronyms· media bias· chaos

28:13 I'm gonna throw in just another gratuitous fantastic Trump rotation meme. It's just terrible when the federal government is in charge of large numbers of lives, it's not efficient, it's not fast-moving, it's not built to be compassionate and humane so your heart absolutely breaks One does wonder why this isn't remaining in the news in a more prominent and visible way. I think to some degree it sounds so horrible to say, but it's reality that the story has kind of become familiar. We know the contours we know how terrible it is people have seen it and related to that is the fact that Trump is this nonstop chaos scandal outrage machine

29:01 Non-stop chaos scandal outrage machine. Man, that'd be a great show title if it was so long It's not even a good acronym I know no I was just very yeah you can make it into an acronym I think we would catch on Yeah but its NSCCOM Some non-scum scum scum scum scum SCM SCH now SCS cush come it doesn't work now I want to transition with the final clip into The Peter struck testimony, but I want to leave it open cases anything else you wanted to do here about brexit or NATO? Or anything of that ilk

CHAPTER 12 / 58 Discussion

Peter Strzok Testimony, Michael Brown on Scripted Hearings

The hosts transition to the Peter Strzok testimony, noting that former DHS Secretary Michael Brown described such hearings as scripted productions cleared by the Office of Management and Budget. They argue that the Strzok hearing went "off-script," leading to visible anger from committee members. Media analysis of Strzok's performance varied between praising his "noble" public servant persona and criticizing his dismissiveness.

peter strzok· fbi· michael brown· dhs· c-span

29:54 Well, come on here. I got too much stuff from the hearings because a lot of it is hilarious. Yeah well but i don't have hilarious stuff all I have and that's why I want to segue in a transition Is I believe my theory is holding true and that the cover-up is right before our very eyes. And some people know it, some people don't but... It's very easy to see what's going on I didn't need Well I did! But I didn't need to watch 8 hours of testimony We needed to watch eight hours just to get the funny shit because it was fantastic and I probably should play this very short clip beforehand Well before you leave I do have a clip just to show you the interregnum Well no this is gonna help you

30:35 This is... No, it's not. Go on. Yeah it is. This is former DHS Secretary Michael Brown. Remember him? Brownie? Oh yeah! Brownie! Brownie from Katrina. Good job, Brownie. Here's what he has to say about Senate hearings But to go back about just a regular hearing If an undersecretary or any other government official Is going to testify His testimony is cleared through the Office of Management and Budget That testimony is given to the senators and congressmen in advance. The questions are given to the witness in advance It's a show, it's production I just wanted everyone remember that this was scripted And went off-script which why most people there were pissed off That's why they were yelling at us They we're going off-script Exactly

31:25 Exactly. So let me play this last bit from On Point, because that kind of leads into my assertions. And there were moments I've just seen bits of the hearing but there were moments when struck really some very noble you know, I'm a public servant, I represent the FBI, I resent this the imputation that I have somehow dishonored my job and so on. He came off pretty well in those moments, but on the other hand the Republicans were certainly right to say they were alarmed

CHAPTER 13 / 58 Discussion

Strzok-Page Text Messages, The Lovers Context Theory

The hosts analyze the text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, questioning the official narrative that they were "lovers." They note a lack of romantic emojis in the transcripts and suggest the "affair" was a cover story to provide context for their anti-Trump bias. Scott Adams is credited with first suggesting that the "lover" context was used to soften the impact of the messages.

peter strzok· lisa page· scott adams· fbi· emojis

32:04 you know, how dismissive he was of Trump and of Trump's followers. However, those were private communications! People are allowed to have political opinions... The text messages were private? Yes! And they only came to light because they were done on the public email and that was only done apparently to avoid marital complications Okay, now I've been saying from day one that these text messages look nothing like two people in a relationship My main thing was they couldn't find to see and I did as much work as I could on what we had available with the unibyte you're the unibyte encodings of Emojis that were translated into these transcripts or the text messages and I saw no lovey-dovey talk about

32:52 At all, there's just none. There is not a single heart emoji no eggplant emoji No peach emoji, no tongue emoji Hey I know my emojis And there is reason for this and part of it is this Now you and Ms Page used personal phones in accounts to communicate Have you turned over those communications to the inspector general? No sir If not, why not? Sir they asked and working with my attorney the Inspector General and I arranged it in agreement where i would go through my personal accounts and identify any material that was relevant to FBI business and turn it over. It was reviewed there was none and my understanding is the inspector general satisfied with that action. Okay

33:36 So what happened here is Peter Strzok was asked very similarly similar to Hillary Clinton by the way I guess that's how things work in government Could you just go through all that stuff and just give us what you find as relevant? Don't give it all to us so we can take a look at it And he says We had all of this stuff all this personal stuff on imessage and gmail and G chat, and that was not relevant at all to the case whatsoever So I guess all of the lovey-dovey stuff was there. All of it, yet somehow all of the official text messages had to be taken in context and the context is incredibly important this is what I've been trying to explain for a couple of shows now

34:28 Scott Adams actually helped me come to this conclusion because when the first text came out, weeks and weeks and weeks ago. Scott Adam's in one of his periscopes said you know we have to take into context that these people were lovers and if so Peter Struck is saying hey baby don't worry I'll stop him i'll take on the world then you feel a certain way everyone feels that was positioned from the beginning from the very beginning it was their lover No one asked, it just came out immediately that was put out in front which is against FBI policy as well fraternizing and that way I believe or to some degree so so that the conversations they had on their non-private there they're conversations that we received that we've seen the ones that we've seen That they would be put into a context of lovers don't worry baby late at night

CHAPTER 14 / 58 Discussion

Trey Gowdy Interrogation, Peter Strzok "We'll Stop It"

Representative Trey Gowdy grilled Peter Strzok regarding his August 2016 text message stating "we'll stop it" in reference to Donald Trump's candidacy. Strzok claimed the "we" referred to the American people, but Gowdy pointed to later texts where Strzok expressed "terrifying" fear when the electorate actually voted for Trump. Gowdy accused Strzok of having an unprecedented level of animus while leading major investigations.

trey gowdy· peter strzok· fbi· 2016 election· collusion

35:23 But if you remove that context and see it as one colleague to another, And this has always been my problem with text messages. There's no context within text messages, but we were given the context right from the get-go They're lovers that's how you have to read all of this Trey Gowdy Not only does I think he under he knows what's going on listen to this exchange You're investigating this alleged Russian collusion with a Trump campaign? You're the lead investigator you originated the investigation your the point of contact you drafted the document And here you are before you've interviewed a single solitary witness saying F Trump then that same day your colleague Lisa Page wrote Notice how he uses colleague, he almost does air quotes to accentuate that. Well maybe- He does a two beat stop Yep

36:15 and says your colleague... yeah it's very, very uh well he'll do it again. Listen. That same day your um colleague Lisa Page wrote maybe you're meant to protect the country from that menace And you responded, I can protect the country at many levels. We're not even a week into an investigation that you originated approved with a contact for it hadn't interviewed a single solitary soul until August 11th and you're already promising to protect the country from that menace Donald Trump

36:53 And then on August the 8th, you still hadn't interviewed anyone. You're eight days into your Russian collusion with the Trump campaign investigation and he got another text from your colleague Lisa Page. Trump's not ever going to become president right? Right? And you replied no? No he's not we'll stop it By the time you promised to stop him from becoming president on August 8th, how many interviews had you conducted? Mr. Gowdy so two answers that one with regard to how many interviews had or have not been conducted I've been directed by counsel for the FBI not answer that question second sir i think it's important to take those texts in the context of how they were written and what they meant And someone may ask you that question Agent Strunk but I didn't

37:44 I ask you how many people you interviewed before you wrote it. If you want to get into context, let one of my other colleagues do that with you. Here's what I want to know who is the he and he is not? He is then candidate Trump so when you said no Donald Trump's not in connection with a question going to become president what's the it We'll stop it. Chairman Gowdy, that text needs to be taken in the context of... I'm asking if you want to have a debate over a two-letter word we're gonna have do that some other time what and who did you mean by it?

38:25 Mr. Gowdy, as I've stated that text was written late at night in shorthand... I don't care when it was written about. I don't care whether it's longhand cursive. I don't care about any of that! I want to know what IT meant agent Strzok? It would be his candidacy for the presidency and my sense is that the American population would not vote him into office. Right right well we hadn't gotten to the will yet Well, I'm trying to cut through the chase and explain the text. The will is the American people! Is that right? That's your testimony. The will stop it you were speaking on behalf of the American people. Is that correct? Mr Gowdy what my testimony is and what I said during extensive asking this question during our prior interview is...I don't recall writing that text. But are you denying writing the text? What I can tell you is that text in no way suggested that I or the FBI

39:17 would take any action to influence the candidacy of Eddie Trump. That is a fantastic answer to a question nobody asked. The question to you is, will we be permitted to answer the questions that were posed? So do you can hear that Gowdy knows what's going on or he's just a really good prosecutor and I think he knows what's going on. He knows that the context is what's been changed and he's trying to highlight that And I think he's right, because if the public... and it's too late. It's not going to work Everyone already thinks- by the way it is misogynist just to go ahead and believe that right away Oh man woman yeah totally believable No its ehh..I'm no buying this This is the cover up in front of our very eyes You remove the context you think hey these are two dudes who are not in a relationship Hell would break loose! It would be a different conversation

CHAPTER 15 / 58 Discussion

Louie Gohmert Confrontation, Strzok Medication Remark

Representative Louie Gohmert accused Peter Strzok of lying under oath and questioned how many times he lied to his wife about his affair with Lisa Page. The exchange became heated, leading a Democratic committee member to tell Gohmert he needed "medication." Gohmert argued that Strzok's actions have caused long-term damage to the credibility of the FBI and the justice system.

louie gohmert· peter strzok· fbi· hillary clinton· medication

40:17 Okay, well I mean what you're saying is that the guy's just a douchebag lover Who go more goes after and the best and Gohmert has do you have that clip? I have all of Gohmert good. I was like Gohmert is I think by the way completely valid for him to ask this question Completely valid well let's play the second half of Gohmert because it's too long Part one, Gohmert goes after the guy for not following up on some early reports about the Clinton server. It goes on and on and it strikes pretty evasive and Gohmert gets irked by the way he's not answering anything and pretending he doesn't remember anything or saying he doesn't remember anything

41:06 and then Gohmert starts to get irked, and then we go into part two which is this with this clip. And you do it with a straight face! And I watched in the private testimony you gave... ...and i told some of the other guys he is really good He's lying, he knows- We know he's lying and he could probably pass polygraph. It's amazing Mr Chairman... No this is my time. Mr chairman, I'm sorry, point of order. Point of order The general state is point of order. A member of this committee just asserted that this witness who is under oath and a former... They should just say off script instead of point-of-order, that would be funnier Mr Chairman! Off script! Off script! ...agent in the FBI lied there's no evidence to that I ask him to withdraw it. I do not withdraw it he is not a member of Congress It's not a violation of the rule and just as you have been expressing bias through your members about

42:00 What a hero. There is not a single person on this committee who has ever characterized a witness as lying. It's my time, so you can praise him. No the disgrace of what this man has done to our justice there is the disgrace! And it won't be recaptured anytime soon because of the damage you've done to the justice system. And I've talked to FBI agents around the country, You've embarrassed them, you've embarrassed yourself and i can't help but wonder when I see you looking there with a little smirk How many times did you look so innocent into your wife's eye and lied to her about Lisa? Mr. Chairman, this is outrageous! The credibility of a witness is always an issue... Mr. Chairman, please there are no more witnesses. This is intolerable harassment of the witnesses. What is wrong with that?! You need your medication! I just needed to stop there That was the line of the century

CHAPTER 16 / 58 Discussion

House Committee Rules, Peter Strzok "Alien" Face

A procedural debate broke out during the hearing regarding whether members of Congress are permitted to "impugn the character" of witnesses. The hosts also discuss a viral clip from the five-hour mark of the testimony where Strzok made an unusual facial expression, which social media users jokingly compared to a "shape-shifter" losing control.

house of representatives· hillary clinton· twitter· shape-shifter· fbi

42:59 You need your medications! Oh my goodness, this is good. This was...this is still why we do it. Clinton controls the time. I ask that the witness be permitted to respond. He will be permitted. Did you ever talk to Hillary Clinton during your investigation besides the one questioning you mentioned before that or after that? To this day? We have ordered Mr Chairman Point of order, Mr. Chairman The gentleman will state his point of order It is I think against the rules of the House for a member of the committee to be impugning the character of a witness Oh my God He should ask questions to elicit...the purpose this hearing is to elicit information he should ask questions to elicit information Should not be impugning the character uh..of the witness The gentleman has advised that the rules of the house only are directed to members of the house and the President of United States

43:56 In other words, it is okay to impugn the character of witnesses in any way whatsoever? Listen I've heard many members on your side of the aisle impugn characters. Somebody who is covered by the rules of the house but the gentleman... Has 20 seconds left the clock will be turned back on and he can complete his time and then the witness can respond So if you talk to Hillary other than Hillary Clinton other than the time she was examined in front of the witnesses No, so after throwing away what you have with all the bias. You have never even gotten a thank-you I yield back did did you ever see a Reaction shot of struck when Gohmert was doing that because I couldn't find one

44:45 I think there was a couple in there. It was during the thing and that when he really chewed him out, but hmm, I don't know by the way There was a just as an aside there was a clip going around the Twitters of struck making this kind of alien looking face Yes Was that a shop job or is that for real? I saw I found it Okay, it was for real I don't have the note here, but it was at if it was in the five. I think is around 530 mm-hmm five hours and 31 minutes that Period right he drops his head and he looks up above and he gives that creepy look it was only a split second But it was real yeah well shape shifters can't hold it all the time Shifter's gonna shift baby. I mean this is all there is to it oh

CHAPTER 17 / 58 Discussion

Polygraph Failures, Out of Scope Security Clearances

Representative Raul Labrador questioned Peter Strzok about a 2016 polygraph examination that was found to be "out of scope." The hosts explain that being out of scope can mean a polygraph was "fishy" or that a five-year validity window had expired. They suggest that Strzok's security clearance for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) should have been revoked during this period.

peter strzok· polygraph· raul labrador· sci· security clearance

45:36 So, Gohmert mentioned something about you could probably pass a polygraph test. And so I was very interested in this and I did some research on it. This is the time that is valid? That whole sequence? Yes, this was a yeah. It was very good is raw Raul Labrador Who I believe from Idaho and he and it's a draw lab or funny observation? I'm curious if this is the first time that Russia tried to interfere with an American. Oh, no No, no, that's not right. No its who wasn't that did that Labrador did something else Labrador was good though. That's actually a good funny. It's very funny clip

46:17 Once you play that, I'll figure it out. Oh here it is now Out of Scope 1. Sorry. Ah! Out Of Scope yes now I remember this was good When was the last time you were subject to a polygraph? Approximately two or three years ago Two or three years ago To your knowledge have you ever failed a polygraph or found to be out-of-scope? Uh...I've never failed one I was out of scope prior to my last polygraph And that would have been at what time? You said two to three years ago. Could you be more specific? Sir, I think we can cut to the chase. There's an email that talks about people being out of scope for a polygraph which generated my last polygraph Oh don't worry We're gonna be cut to the chase So if so you want to go ahead and say January 2016 when you received a text or an email correct

46:59 Sir, if that's the date I'll stipulate to that. I don't have those dates. Okay we'll take that as a stipulation. Has an examiner ever accused you of attempting to use countermeasures during a polygraph examination? Not my recollection no You received your email in January as you stated and you've stipulated too your polygraph was out of scope in January 2016 To your knowledge how long was your polygraph out-of-scope? Sir, I do not know...I recall it's The second to last polygraph I had was when I was a supervisor at Washington field office which would have occurred somewhere between 2008 and 2011. My understanding of what out of scope means for the FBI is that polygraphs have kind of five year span

47:42 of effectiveness or validity. We had several people, including me trying to get right into a particular... I'm glad you got this John because i was so busy with the other thing. I heard it and I'm glad that you did some research on this on the otoscope stuff? Yeah Yeah, there's some good stuff online about it. But he kind of tells everything if you're out of scope You have to put parts of your top secret clearance or taken away from you right especially one aspect specials or circumstance Yes documents or something see yes and it's got a funny name

CHAPTER 18 / 58 Discussion

Doug Collins Questioning, SCI Access Violations

Representative Doug Collins challenged Peter Strzok on why he maintained access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) despite an out-of-scope polygraph. Collins cited Department of Justice procedures requiring individuals to be "read out" of SCI access following polygraph issues. The hosts speculate that the "fishy" polygraph results were related to Strzok's undisclosed affair or potential "scheming."

doug collins· peter strzok· fbi· sci· polygraph

48:18 I mean, if you look it up is got to find it means something funny. But it has to do with what he was investigating on with Hillary and with Trump. He had to have that clearance but because he was out of scope technically had to have that clearance pulled from him so he should not have been doing the investigation investigations right now. Now struck tries to say well unless I lied on the polygraph That's what I understand. As the clip continues, did you play all of Clip 1? Yeah. As the clip continues this guy makes it... This is Doug Collins from Georgia and I believe he was an ex-basketball player could be wrong anyway played part two and then I'll explain what i found out during the time that you were out of scope did you have access to SCI yes sir are you aware that

49:11 FBI procedure that a failure or out of scope polygraph does not terminate a top secret but however, a failure of this would require you to be read out of SCI access. although you could maintain your top secret. This was a direct answer from a question that I posed and was received within the last week, were you aware that you should have been read out of any SCI information? Sure, I believe... sensitive compartmented information. Right! I believe he used the word failure which implies in my mind a failed poly, i am not and was not aware of the fact that an out-of-scope polygraph required to read out of SCI Then the question, I accept that Mr. Strzok but I want to get back to the question. The answer came back from FBI and justice itself

49:56 that it was, that is the procedure. So the next question I have is after the 2618 you did your polygraph at what time? You said you were out of scope and brought in by giving a polygraph when would that have been? Again sir my recollection is 2016 timeframe but after that email but I don't know when within about a month or two I think Are you also aware in the publicly stated version of IG report there has been some serious questions and issues concerning polygraph information and lack of polygraph procedures at the Department of Justice and FBI that was brought out by the Inspector General? I'm not generally aware that there was a report but i'm not aware of the conclusions. One of the general concerns on this is when you're out-of-scope, and this is the answer coming back from Department Justice, you should have been read out of SCI my concern is during this time frame you were involved in two very high profile what would have been or at least getting ready for SCI information which you are not read out of

50:53 Okay, compartmented information. So he shouldn't have been doing either one of those investigations and he pretends to not know what the hell is going on right? so if you look a little deeper apparently the polygraph test that he took during sometime before January 2016 or whenever actually that's when he got his memo he did the polygraph test later had to do, he semi-failed. Getting out of scope according to the documents means that doesn't mean that you failed a polygraph but it means it was something fishy about it

51:36 Right. And or you see there's something fishy about it, or you have gone too long in other words over five years without taking a polygraph test that put also on the scope but that's not what the situation was with this I think at some point he mentioned I don't know how to interpret polygraph lines i think goes on and so that is full of it It was out of scope during the polygraph That's the way I understand it. Yeah. Ah! It's from the affair. Okay So someone asked about that and he lied about the affair. Well, you said it earlier you said you didn't know but it's fraternization You cannot be a superior or working with somebody in certain kinds of situations and most government agencies Yeah yeah so he was fishy about the affair

Lisa Page Perp Walk, "Trump Other Than a Douche" ISO

The hosts comment on Lisa Page's public appearance during her "perp walk" to the hearing, noting she looked different than her high school photos. They also highlight a specific audio clip of a congressperson asking "How was Trump other than a douche?" and suggest it would make a popular ringtone for listeners.

lisa page· fbi· ringtone· iso· perp walk

52:22 And that was out of scope, which meant he shouldn't have been doing any of this stuff. He shouldn't even have been up there talking today because he wouldn't have gotten himself into getting his tinder ring. Good point! Of course, of course... I didn't even think of that one By the way, can we just stop and say that Lisa Page looks a hell of a lot better than her high school yearbook photo we've been seeing? Yeah she looked pretty good. I saw that too! They're hollering... She got all dolled up to do the perp walk. She got this, she's got the pumps on for the perp walk, the pumpy perp walk. That's very fun. All right so uh i want to get two things. The chairman of the committee had

53:08 struck read from his document. And I thought that was funny, and I think that's worth playing it in. Then I also want to play a couple of things the Democrats did that cracked me up so... Let's see what we got. Oh by the way, I have an ISO here for consideration. Okay, give it a listen here. It says, How is Trump other than a douche? Hi, how was Trump other than a douche? I'll take it. It's a good recommendation End of show hi how was Trump other than a do that is my ringtone. Hi How was Trump other than the douche That's a great ringtone. Hi. Yeah, I was Trump other than a douche hello Have that coming out on my flip phone people will totally go nuts

Darrell Issa Reading, Strzok Text Message Recital

Representative Darrell Issa forced Peter Strzok to read his own text messages aloud for the record, including "OMG he's an idiot" and the "insurance policy" text. Strzok initially denied writing one of the messages but was forced to continue. The recital included messages from 2016 where Strzok expressed disbelief at the state of the country and used profanity.

darrell issa· peter strzok· fbi· melania trump· insurance policy

54:01 Where is this? Ah, the stroke reading texts. Yeah there you go Or as one congressperson or senator said Strazik I forgot who that was In front of you have a one sheet of paper that was presented to your few minutes ago and i'm going just go over it to go to a date and then ask you to read your own words Marcia hold on This not the chairman this is ISA Oh, is that Darryl?

Right? No he's not and will stop it

55:42 Repeat that again. No, no he's not we'll stop it August 15th 2016 I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office That there's no way he gets elected But i'm afraid We can't take that risk It's like an insurance policy and the unlikely event You die before your 40 on October 20th? 2016 I can pull away what And I deferred To The Chairman Whether Just Use One Letter if You don't mind why The F What the F happened to our country lease? Okay, read it again that way sir. Did you not was? You just want to hear it yeah me to repeat it please okay, sir sure happy to indulge you I can't pull away what happened to our country lease I want to go back to the Gaudi bit

CHAPTER 21 / 58 Discussion

Gowdy on Strzok's "Terrifying" Election Reaction

Trey Gowdy highlighted the contradiction in Peter Strzok's testimony regarding his respect for the American electorate. Gowdy noted that while Strzok claimed "we'll stop it" referred to the voters, he later texted that the prospect of those same voters electing Trump was "effing terrifying." Strzok maintained that he was merely expressing a personal belief about a potential administration.

trey gowdy· peter strzok· fbi· 2016 election· electorate

56:29 because now we're talking again about the who is the we and in the first case, because Gowdy did a pretty good job on this with him. In the first case it's well that would mean the American people and here's how Gowdy... I know what you're gonna pull it's a good clip your testimony a couple weeks ago was though we met the American people which I found confusing because on November 7th which is the day before the election you said this You were concerned that those same American people that you were speaking on behalf of might actually elect Donald Trump president, so you said OMG this is effing terrifying.

57:08 I think we know what f-ing means. Pretty sure we have OMG down too What was terrifying about those same American people you trusted to stop him in August not stopping him in November? What was so terrifying about that, Agent Strauch? Mr. Gowdy, I do not have a copy of the transcript We have not been provided that transcript It's your text! It is not the transcript it's your text Mr. Gowdy, what I would say in that is one, I was not referring to the American electorate at all. The American electorate I respect and their decisions and their right to vote is absolutely a cornerstone of our democracy so no time did I insult or call into question the judgment or the power of the American electorate but what I was expressing in that text is my personal belief and my personal sense of how I saw and what I believed in the potential up

58:00 coming administration. That's what I find so confounding because in August you blamed the we on the American people that the American people would stop it because you don't want it to be you and Lisa Page. Mr Chairman, this is a different point of view. I'm given five minutes to answer. We have been, we have indulged this harassment nine minutes. What I find confounding agent Strzok is you were counting on the American people that was the we you referenced in August when you said will stop it but the American people didn't stop he actually won so then we go to March of 2017 and you're already talking longingly about him resigning

CHAPTER 22 / 58 Discussion

Democratic Committee Reactions, Purple Heart Comment

Democratic members of the committee, including Steve Cohen, defended Peter Strzok, with one member suggesting he deserved a "Purple Heart" for enduring the hearing. The hosts criticize this comparison as insulting to wounded veterans and an example of "social justice" terminology being applied to political testimony. They argue the Democrats used their time for grandstanding rather than investigation.

steve cohen· robert mueller· purple heart· social justice· fbi

58:40 We will stop him and I agree if it was two FBI dudes And there was no relationship would have been a very different freakout in America right now Well, the whole thing is depressing. Now... Uh..I do have a couple of counter clips just so we can balance this a little bit Gotten some notes from people thinking that we're just bashing or boosting Trump? I don't know what were bashing But let's say some of the Democrats... Can I just stop? Stop. Yeah, you and I could make more money if we decided to just go all nut job right wing Republican alt-right a-hole so we could make a lot more money! Yeah, we could do very well for ourselves as a couple of right wing jokeboxes It's a consideration at this point No it's not Shut up man i'm doing a pitch shut up That'll be the day

59:38 Frogs are growing balls. We never went to the moon! Oh, wait a minute... I say that already. Okay so here's it let me there's a bunch of short clips this is typical of the Democrats when they get the floor every other guy is a Democrat and they get the floor besides taking the floor by screaming and yelling all the time that do Republicans never interrupt the Democrats even when they said something like this this is hearings Democrats from TB Okay. You can't handle the truth and the truth is this is the most corrupt administration ever and it's going to be exposed by Robert Mueller, thank God I yield back and I thank you. Woohoo! Okay that has nothing to do with the hearings but they gotta get their two cents worth in. Play Hearings Democrats from TWOT. Thank you Mr Chair. Mr. I don't know where to start if I could give you a purple heart I would

1:00:35 But I this is the same reaction. I had the first time I heard it a purple heart is when you're wounded Both my grandfathers have purple hearts It's just a tad insulting yes, just a little bit on the insult and it also shows I don't know ignorance to start And why didn't everybody did everyone erupt? I give you a purple heart. I would where's the eruption you deserve one This has been an attack on you this by the way fits in the social justice mean he has literally been injured According to today's politically correct standards because words do actual harm they really hurt you bullet Yes, it is equal just like yeah It's terrorism really she's start

Jerry Nadler and Sheila Jackson Lee, "Julian Assad" Gaffe

Representatives Jerry Nadler and Sheila Jackson Lee used the hearing to pivot to the border crisis and the separation of 3,000 children. Jackson Lee characterized Trump's meeting with Putin as an "annual performance review." During her remarks, she repeatedly mispronounced WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's name as "Julian Assad," which the hosts highlight as a significant gaffe.

jerry nadler· sheila jackson lee· julian assange· putin· border crisis

1:01:28 If I could give you a purple heart, I would. You guys are skip. I'm going to go to number three. This is Nadler the guy who is the reigning Democrat sitting next to the chairman? He's he would be the chairman if the Republicans take over. I must say before I begin my formal statement that This country has a number of emergencies right now under the jurisdiction of this committee, which we're not spending any time or attention to. The leading one obviously being the fact that 3,000 children were improperly taken away from their families and the administration seems either unwilling

1:02:07 out of total incompetence, unable to return the kids to their families even under court order. We oughta be holding hearings about the intentions or the competence of the Department of Homeland Security on this question." And then we have the great, this is the last of these little clips. Hearings Democrats Sheila Jackson What we have not done is investigated that children being stolen away from their families Nor have we looked at our president meeting with Mr Putin getting his annual performance review while offending our NATO allies

1:02:53 The performance review. I thought that was a great line now She went she went on and on and I do have one ISO of her she's condemning Everybody that had anything to do with Hillary losing, and then she has this interesting mispronunciation Of Julian Assange This is Julian Assad Iso. With WikiLeaks, Julian Assad! Wait a minute that now you're competing with your own Iso man? I mean... That's a good one huh? Let's just see we have

1:03:32 Oh, hold on. We have... where is she? I like that one a lot. Here we go here it is. Julian Asad! With WikiLeaks, Julian Asad Hi how was Trump other than a douche? With WikiLeaks, Julian Assad I don't know it's a toss-up to toss up I'd like to come back to my final clip in this series. Okay, then I have one more series and I'm done. Okay. And well you... Yeah, I'll just wrap this up because we've had the we now understand that the we in this case meant between two FBI agents and now we go back to the reason that Strzok was kicked off the, and that is the official term used, is kicked off the Mueller team

CHAPTER 24 / 58 Discussion

Robert Mueller's Decision, Strzok Removal from Special Counsel

The hosts discuss Peter Strzok's removal from Robert Mueller's Special Counsel team. Trey Gowdy questioned why Strzok was removed for the "perception" of bias rather than the "existence" of bias. Strzok testified that his meeting with Mueller lasted only 15 to 30 minutes. Gowdy concluded that Mueller could not tolerate an agent with such "unprecedented animus" working on the investigation.

robert mueller· peter strzok· jim comey· impeachment· fbi

1:04:15 And it's obvious that Mueller saw this guy and this relationship exactly for what it was. Two FBI agents conspiring, whether with real stuff to back it up or not we don't know but he didn't see it as two lovebirds. We're going to go into one other time period May 17th 2017 Bob Mueller is appointed Your friend Jim Comey's been fired. He has already leaked the memos to his law professor friend and Mueller a special counsel Do you remember how long it took for you to start talking about impeachment after Bob Mueller was appointed? I don't sir One day, one day

1:04:53 And you are talking about impeachment and for anyone who may have missed it the day after his appointment, Agent Strzok? You did it again five days later. Now how many interviews had you done as part of the special counsel team within the first five days of his appointment? Sir, again same answer as before. I can't get into details... Right and the answers also the same it's zero no interviews have been done. I don't know if that's true or not? No interviews had been done by August the 8th when you're talking about stopping him and how terrifying it would be for him to win and how you can protect the country And no interviews have been done before your talking about impeachment of the president

1:05:36 No wonder Bob Mueller kicked you off of the investigation, Agent Strzok. My question is if you were kicked off when he read the text shouldn't have been kicked off when you wrote them? Not at all Well it wasn't the discovery of your texts Mr. Strzok It was the existence of your bias that got you kicked off! No Mr Gowdy it wasn't I do not have bias my personal opinions in no way... Well then why did get kicked off? Why'd you get kicked off?! Mr. Gowdy, my understanding of why I was kicked off was that based on an understanding of those texts and the perception that they might create... Well hang on a second Agent Strzok! Hang on a second! Perception? You're saying it was the perception there are 13 Democrats on the special counsel probe including one who went to what he hoped was a victory party That's a perception problem too They weren't kicked off

1:06:28 You were. Why were you kicked off? Mr Gowdy, I cannot speak to Special Counsel Mueller's staffing decisions or the reasons why he did or didn't... How long did you talk to him when he let you go? My recollection is it was a short meeting somewhere between 15-30 minutes probably around 15 minutes And your testimony is Bob Mueller did not kick you off because of the content of your text He kicked you off because some appearance that he was worried about. what was originally said being changed. I don't give a damn what you appreciate, Agent Strzok. I don't appreciate having an FBI agent with an unprecedented level of animus working on two major investigations during 2016. Bingo! Boom shakalaka! Let me kind of take your position and try to explain what you're doing. Yeah

CHAPTER 25 / 58 Discussion

Conspiracy Theory, Strzok and Page as Political Operatives

The hosts propose an alternative theory that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were not actually lovers, but political conspirators. They suggest the "affair" was a smokescreen designed to protect the FBI by framing their anti-Trump coordination as private, romantic communication. They note the lack of public evidence regarding divorces or separations among their respective spouses.

peter strzok· lisa page· conspiracy· robert mueller· affair

1:07:32 And I tell me you can tell me if i'm wrong. Okay, what this amounts to is that this was actually a conspiracy between struck and lisa page who weren't lovers maybe not we have no actual evidence well wait let me demonstrate i'm sorry Who weren't lovers but they were conspirators? Hence the reason for not giving up any of the texts that were personal, if you noticed from his personal phone. Because if you looked at those texts, you'd see no lovey-dovey stuff because there was no lovey-dovey stuff they weren't

1:08:08 lovers, they were conspirators. And that's the reason he failed the lie detector test. He may not even been grilled about having an affair but this scheming and plotting against the current regime may have come out in some funny way. There was a lot of hints into people asking questions including Gohmert who said specifically you could probably pass a lie detector test And so what we have here is the elimination of a conspiracy by Mueller. Yep, Mueller saw it he got rid of it but we have to protect the agency etc., etc...

1:08:53 And so from the get-go this lovers thing was dreamed up and it's... It was a, yeah. No one has questioned this! Have we seen an interview or even a paparazzi shot of either of the other spouses? No Do we know if anyone filed for divorce is there separation? There is no reporting I really don't know But you'd think that in today's, shit man we're tracking people on airplanes and making up stories about them. So why wouldn't someone do that? Why isn't it out there I don't know but i agree with you I think that the polygraph hadn't put together yet and you nailed it on that You nailed it That is the outer scope part

1:09:39 But the rest is just two people conspiring. And they had Andrew McCabe and all kinds of other people involved in that, insurance policies... It just becomes a little more real when you remove the lovey-dovey thing which was given to us as fact from the get go Yes, it was a smokescreen from the beginning. Yeah that's the cover-up and that's how they can soften all this. And you hear everything from the NPR interview like oh! That's ridiculous, that is private life... because of course everybody feels that way because people are sick, you know? People have affairs and probably people who are presenting these programs to you know what that's like

1:10:18 So they all shed it that the be horrible of someone else. That's just my opinion Yeah, so it's a war of your mind is what this is good one fantastic It is that one of the best openly covered up things I've ever seen Well, I like this angle. I'll subscribe to it because it does make more things fall into place Your emoji thing is that what triggered the whole thought on your part? Yeah obviously and then and you were skeptical about the affair from the beginning I was I just took it for granted I was mistaken I think now that I look at because it's the only thing that actually makes sense in these two guys or this was a

CHAPTER 26 / 58 Discussion

Peter Strzok's Background, Iranian Upbringing and Spying Theory

The hosts explore Peter Strzok's childhood in Iran, noting his father, Peter Strzok Sr., worked for the Army Corps of Engineers and Bell Textron during the Shah's reign. They claim this information is missing from Strzok's Wikipedia page. A theory is presented that Strzok may have been an operative for Iran, explaining his intense opposition to Donald Trump's plan to dismantle the Iran nuclear deal.

peter strzok· iran· cia· barack obama· valerie jarrett

1:11:01 This guy's a bad actor, and he looks like one. And maybe he is a lizard." I have a real no agenda out there alternative theory. Okay? Okay. Peter Strzok's Wikipedia page is incomplete at best and probably some of it's fabricated. Peter Strzok his son... He was actually Peter Strzok Jr., his father Peter Struck senior Worked initially as a lieutenant I think Lieutenant Colonel But and I'm looking from old newspaper clippings actually so it's not just some web page, but it's a newspaper clippings And later for Bell Textron, but first. It was army Engineers and then later yeah here we go lieutenant colonel US Army Corps of Engineer later in

1:11:59 intelligence that would be defense intelligence and then after retiring he worked for Bell Textron and He this period happened for six years with his son there with him and his family Do you know where he was? Where Peter Strzok jr. Grew up in Iran Oh Peter Strzok Jr.. Grew up in Iran, and this is not reflected on On his Wikipedia page. But his dad, there's a pretty good interview about him that I have here. Now what was the years? Do we know? Yeah... It was Shaw years obviously. Oh yeah for sure it was Shaw years He actually liked Khomeini His dad was a fan of Khomeini

1:12:48 See, I'm thinking if there's a date in here. Judgment error? Anyways, it is Strzok whose job was Bell Techstrom was terminated when he left Iran but he's already making plans to flight to Saudi Arabia early next week to check on a new job with the construction enterprise there. Let me see where it talks about this kid... Somewhere says here that his son left when his son was six years old now take into account Now, and this is just a really out there theory. Yeah I'm enjoying it as fine our listeners the few of them that get that helps sponsor the show are enjoying it to continue. I would assert that Peter Strzok Jr.,

1:13:36 And of course he was a part of the whole FBI team and Department of Justice when Obama was doing this off-book deal with Iran. Remember, this wasn't something that went through the Senate it was an agreement that he wrote billions of dollars went over there Valerie Jarrett definitely pushing for an Iran deal There's a lot in the struck text and a lot that he says in his testimony He, I think that there's a distinct possibility and I have to go much deeper on this. I'm gonna need help from our producers...I think there is a distinct possibility that Strzok Jr was actually a spy for Iran and then who knows what this hearing is about? Who knows who's involved maybe for all I know Mueller is trying to out this guy!

CHAPTER 27 / 58 Discussion

Religious Conversion Theories, John Brennan and Obama

The discussion shifts to unverified claims regarding the religious affiliations of John Brennan and Barack Obama. The hosts reference researcher Daniel Pipes and suggest that if Strzok's family converted to Islam while in the Middle East, it would align them with the Obama administration's foreign policy goals. They also mention Strzok's involvement in a 2011 DEA/FBI case involving an Iranian plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador.

john brennan· barack obama· daniel pipes· islam· saudi arabia

1:14:29 But there's something about this. Let's take it a step further if you're going to go in this crazy direction, which is nuts! Yes I agree To do business with Saudi Arabia A lot of people realize that John Brennan the CIA director turned Muslim I would assume it's possible that Strzok Sr. turned Muslim and Strzok Jr is a Muslim, thus he could work with Obama quite easily who I still believe is a Muslim. It's nuts to think that but if you read the documents by Daniel Pipes, very renowned researchers at the Hoover Institute and he's got essays on this. He says there's no doubt that Obama's a Muslim and I don't understand why nobody even wants to discuss in open forum

1:15:13 or ask him. I mean, he said a number of times that he's a Muslim but then people don't know no you're not so there's a narrative going on that may or may not be based on Muslims doing some business and Trump it looks like he hates Muslims so you'd go after him even though he may or may not hate Muslims you don't know He's just skeptical of Muslims, let's say. So there's a lot to be said for that thesis I like the conspiracy thing is a little more solid obviously than this but the fact that this is all expunged from his wiki page is pretty telling In 2011 there was an Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador Right

1:16:06 The FBI special agent who signed the complaint regarding the Iranian Quds forces and this assassination attempt Struck mm-hmm. Yes, sir. It's a DEA officer that's a DEA case I don't know why FBI is in it all of a sudden but oh I was thought it would be what would it be DEA? Oh if you read the if your it's a very lengthy document Drug enforcement agency? Yeah, it's this... It was DEA case and it got taken over by the FBI. And I'm not... Look, I'm a little incomplete on this but I'm just seeing all these different things in Struck's background related to Iran not reflected in his official or semi-official biography we all know what Wikipedia is

1:16:58 This was Mansour Arabasiar, sentenced in New York Federal Court to 25 years in prison for conspiring with Iranian military officials to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to United States. Who hates the Iranians is the Saudis who also moved to Saudi Arabia. Strux family after they were in Iran Yeah, it's very spooky. Now it's just an out there theory! It really is and I don't think that far out The only reason I say this because this information is not in the wiki page But it would give Strzok much more incentive to go so idiotic about Trump because he knew one thing for sure Trump was going to blow up the Iran deal And if he truly was a agent or an operative Or maybe just an Iran lover

CHAPTER 28 / 58 Discussion

Show Credits, Mike Riley's Elizabeth Warren Artwork

The hosts thank Mike Riley for the episode's artwork, titled "Chip In," which depicts Elizabeth Warren as a homeless person begging for money to stop the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination. They encourage listeners to visit the No Agenda Art Generator and mention the show's live "troll room" at noagendastream.com.

no agenda· elizabeth warren· brett kavanaugh· mike riley· artwork

This was related to her emails that she sent out asking to chip in for three bucks to stop Kavanaugh so So it was great, Mike. We really got a chuckle out of it and it was just a good piece of art and we appreciate your work. NoAgendaArtGenerator.com is where Mike uploaded his artwork and you can too.

Executive Producer Heather Fuchinari, IT Deployment

Heather Fuchinari from Fullerton is credited as the show's executive producer. She contributed $3,333.33 while undergoing a 72-hour IT deployment and interviewing for a new job. The hosts joke about using "Executive Producer" status on dating apps like Tinder and correct a previous error regarding the NATO phonetic alphabet.

heather fuchinari· fullerton· it deployment· tinder· nato alphabet

1:19:27 Well, we only have two people to thank as executive producers and associate executive producers.

Michael Delosier, Boob Donation Memes

Associate Executive Producer Michael Delosier from Maryville, Tennessee, combined several "boob" themed donations ($9.09, $8.08, and $6.06) to reach his credit level. The hosts discuss the "Lift the Boobs" donation app and perform a "de-douching" ceremony for him. They also reiterate their appreciation for the "bevy of boobs" supporting the show.

michael delosier· maryville· tennessee· boob donation· memes

1:22:12 I really hope i'm sending this to the correct address. Apparently you were. Hello, Xanphir 2.0 and Podfather!

CHAPTER 31 / 58 Discussion

World Cup Final, France Victory and Globalism

France defeated Croatia 4-2 in the World Cup final, an event the hosts frame as a victory for "Globalism." They argue that France's diverse team of immigrants was used as a symbolic message against movements like Brexit. They conclude that the "Brexit thing is dead" and the UK will remain a "cog in the new German empire."

france· croatia· world cup· globalism· immigration

1:25:32 Update, France the globalists have won the Globalist World Order Cup 4-2 against Croatia. Yeah of course yeah yeah we had some people writing in I sent you the note you saw that note? Yes yes I saw all the notes but I don't think it really makes any sense now to deconstruct it's over Well, I know but i thought the note had kind of predicted this. Yes that the globalists will win. They have to. Globalist would win because they have more immigrants... That's a good one! They have more immigrants on their team and Croatia is notorious for you know being pretty Croatian and so because France said all these immigrants on their team as if

1:26:19 they would win because of that. So there was a message, look we need... And it was shown in the pictures the Guardian had this crazy signage on their, that they put up all over town during their Trump protest. It was a pro-immigrant thing, we need more immigrants and I'm telling you this Brexit thing is dead! Yeah, I think I have to agree with you it's way over. Nice try Brits You're just gonna be a cog in the new German empire. Let's call it what it is."

CHAPTER 32 / 58 Discussion

Jim Jordan and the Penn Quarter Group, Intelligence Outsourcing

Representative Jim Jordan highlighted a footnote in the House Intelligence Committee report regarding the Penn Quarter Group (PQG). Led by Daniel Jones, PQG reportedly received $50 million from wealthy donors to hire Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS. The hosts criticize the FBI for "outsourcing" intelligence work to private firms led by former colleagues, calling it systemic corruption.

jim jordan· penn quarter group· daniel jones· fbi· fusion gps

1:26:57 Which is probably safer for the world, except it's probably gonna... Germans they can't help themselves. Let me get my last couple of clips out of the way because there was a couple other little items here that were side-lights to this investigation and this is Jordan who's that guy from Ohio who's just in trouble. It was under attack right? He's he's under attack for hashtagging. Oh he's under smear attack yes. Shmear attack yes. Being shmeared. Let's play Jordan and PQ. This is a little aside, I wanted to play it because I heard this...I lit up like you would and you probably heard this too and thought the same thing. I haven't done any research but i think we should keep in tune for Jordan and PQG. Well we'd sure like to know! I want to refer you to um.. I don't know that you have this in front of you but this is the House Intelligence Committee's report

1:27:50 Chapter 6, there's a footnote on page 113 and it says this. In late March 2017 Daniel Jones met with the FBI regarding PQG the Penn Quarter Group which he described as exposing foreign intelligence or put foreign influence in Western elections He told the FBI that PQG was being funded by 7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California who provided approximately 50 million dollars He further stated that PQG had secured the services of Steele, his associate and Fusion GPS to continue exposing potential Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

1:28:30 Are you familiar with this meeting Mr. Jones had with the FBI? I'm not and i don't know if that's accurate or not but, I'm not aware. I'm going from the intelligence report that the majority issued from the House Intelligence Committee. I'm not aware of that meeting or who that is Have you ever spoke with Daniel Jones? No Do you know mr jones at all? I do not Alright Yeah, I did catch this and it appears our internal Federal law enforcement known as the FBI has outsourced just enormous amounts of work to former colleagues who go off and start these little independent groups with just phenomenal contracts. The same goes for CrowdStrike, which we'll talk about in a moment but this is the same this is a group led by Daniel Jones and he has been involved with government

1:29:28 Specifically, he even notes on their own website with the FBI for years. And this is what has happened is just like DHS we outsource it to ex-DHSA holes so they can build all the naked body scanners the FBI outsources their intelligence to their ex colleagues and pays them good money because you know that when they get out there'll be doing the same thing Yeah, so it's disgusting. It is corruption! Yes, total corruption Now the other thing Jordan brought up was this Simpson and Korn connection including the connection with David Korn the guy who used to be the commentator that was outed as a misogynist The nut job

CHAPTER 33 / 58 Discussion

Glenn Simpson Testimony, Fusion GPS and FBI Collusion

The hosts discuss contradictions between Glenn Simpson's testimony and FBI records. Simpson claimed Fusion GPS never spoke with the FBI, yet Peter Strzok's emails suggest the bureau received copies of the dossier from Simpson and David Corn of Mother Jones. They suggest there may have been three distinct copies of the dossier circulating among different agencies and media outlets.

glenn simpson· fusion gps· fbi· david corn· dossier

1:30:11 at Mother Jones and he had something to do with this dossier in the beginning apparently. I just want to play this little clip because there was a, there's confusion over the possibility that there are two dossiers Oops, I'm sorry. Accidentally ejected. Here we go. My direction from the FBI is that may not answer that question. Let's go back to the email you sent that you won't talk about. Are there three copies of the dossier as evidenced by what you said in this email? Sir, to be clear, I want to talk about this email. You can say all you want but you're not talking about it and you're not answering my questions. Are there three copies?

1:30:47 The three copies of what? The McCain copy, the BuzzFeed copy and the one that you got from Cornyn Simpson. Sir the most I can say is we received a variety of copies and different types of reports Let me ask you one other question. Glenn Simpson testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on August 22nd 2017 He was asked did anyone from Fusion ever communicate with the FBI His response No no one from fusion ever spoke with the FBI So here's what I'm having trouble understanding. If Glenn Simpson says no one ever spoke with the FBI, how is it that you got a copy of the dossier from Simpsons? Someone's getting cornholed today! Sounds like a recipe for success to me... So that came up and didn't uh- And i will say without any collusion this is the only clip that overlapped that we had today Oh that you had that clip That was the only one everything else We had different things we brought

CHAPTER 34 / 58 Discussion

Media Logic, Peter Strzok and Leak Claims

A news clip suggests that because Peter Strzok did not leak information about the Russia probe, he had no political bias. The hosts mock this logic as a non-sequitur. This leads to a discussion about a 21-year-old student's communications textbook, which features the history of podcasting but contains inaccuracies, prompting the hosts to question the quality of modern university education.

peter strzok· media bias· russia probe· communications· textbooks

1:31:49 Oh, that's good. I think we have some second sense about this is inexplicable last clip This is the law. This is just a local analysis done by just a rap clip. This is only 12, was it? 12 seconds or so. It's the wrap clip after they go through all their discussion of this event and I want you to just listen carefully to this and tell me what do you think is wrong with the logic. Drew attention for the appearance of bias against the president. Chuck testified yesterday that the fact that he didn't leak any information about the Russia probe shows that his political views did not play a role in his work

1:32:29 Huh? So let me just understand what's being said here because he did not leak that proves that he had no bias That's what they said Hey makes nothing but sense to me everybody and in weather today And people wonder people wonder what's going on with it with you with your news ah You know, I'm in one of the One of the adult under 40s who's, you know doing AP exams and stuff. And she got her final year school and she taking a communications class. Who? Elise. She is one of Tina's daughters. Elise? Elise yeah. How or Elish? Elise. Elise. Elise. Is she um... An adult under forty of course. She is 21

1:33:22 Just to give you an understanding of why people are misunderstanding things or take things for granted. And she's taking a communications class and she had to get an extremely expensive book, which is just another ripoff. A scam! Another scam these children go with it. It angers me $100 for a textbook. Okay. Scam. Yeah big... Oh, you could rent it from Amazon for 60. You can rent the book from Amazon. Double scam. Yeah, scam-scam And I said, well, I'm in some of those textbooks. And she goes to the index and sure shooting there I am about podcasting. What were you doing there? Yeah, it was hanging out and it was about podcasting Was your name in there? Yeah no, the whole history... Oh okay that makes more sense The history of podcasting which by which was pretty good It's better than most accounts but also wasn't completely right So you always have to think Well if that's not right what else is not right in the book? An so then There's a question on a test

CHAPTER 35 / 58 Discussion

Newspaper Industry Decline, Classifieds vs. Digital Move

The hosts debate the cause of the newspaper industry's decline. While a university textbook claims the "move to digital" was the cause, the hosts argue that television first crippled newspapers, and the loss of classified ad revenue to sites like Craigslist was the final blow. They characterize the move to digital as a "Hail Mary" attempt to save a failing business model.

newspapers· craigslist· television· classifieds· digital media

1:34:21 I think it was a practice test and she says, okay what caused the decline of news of the news business? And it was in context of newspapers. Yeah! And I said well that's really... Do you have the question? I can give the right answer What would be the answer you gave? Television That would be one but it was more modern so more You're snapping your lips It was more modern? When the internet came along, what was the main thing that brought the newspapers down. What did the internet do? Fake news No, classifieds

1:35:12 So it all depends on how you- That is an element. The thing is, okay here's the history goes like this It was actually television that really brought the newspapers to their knees required all the stuff that took place in the newspaper business from joint operating agreements which were the thing that saved the newspapers even though it was sketchy To the decline of the evening paper All came about because of television Television sent the newspapers into their death spiral Yes, the classified thing was propping up a lot of papers and when Craigslist came along although it was offered to the newspapers directly even though they I'm sure they don't discuss that in there as kind of a joint venture or whatever.

1:35:58 did their basic, we know how to do what we're doing. Get out of here and that was the end of that and that really hurt the papers bad. So yeah very badly because it was as you say it was propping up their revenue so I picked up the story and said well I was there when this happened what happened was they lost their classified business which is propping up the news and then they couldn't make money anymore but the correct answer according to the test is the move to digital That's the answer I mean, if that's the type of thinking critical thinking and historical relevance people are being taught you've got to question university. The move to digital was a hail Mary to try and save themselves. It was because of the loss of revenue of the classifies they had to go digital because everyone well that in effect the newspapers weren't producing as

1:37:00 You know, it's an arguable position that would be debatable. I thought it was highly debatable too and I think the move to digital is just too short of an answer It's not that important. It's a complicated answer, it's a series of problems that took place and the move to digital is just the last of what might be another event after the move to digital... Right. ...that further erodes their position. I mean yeah you could say Facebook- Would that be the answer? I don't know! You could say Facebook or Google. shallow. This is yes, you know requires a little more thought than this so that's why you can get news reports like the ones we just played and since it's only 11 seconds I'll play it again drew attention for the appearance of bias against the president truck testified yesterday that the fact that he didn't leak any information about the Russia probe shows that his political views did not play a role in his work

1:37:56 I mean, that's an abstraction. You know? And it's incorrect. If you think about it as at some level, it's a non sequitur makes no sense. Yeah, I know. Well, I can't help that she's taking what is she doing? What does she expect to do with this certificate? What is she getting out of this grad degree graduate graduate to graduate from? She's in junior college now. No, she's going to be a senior. Senior in a regular school. Yes, and they're teaching this yep sounds like it To be honest about it sounded math that was like a high school text What so what did they say about podcasting that was inaccurate? Oh I'd have to get it again But yeah never mind now It's not that important is nothing important And it's also my version of history who knows everyone can have a different version as fine as I really don't care

CHAPTER 36 / 58 Discussion

Russian Intelligence Indictments, George Webb Lawsuit

Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian intelligence operatives for hacking the DNC. The hosts note that details in the indictment, such as the "Act Blues" spear-phishing setup, are identical to claims made in a 2017 lawsuit by George Webb. Webb's theory alleged the Awan brothers were responsible for the hack, leading the hosts to question if Mueller's team plagiarized the details.

robert mueller· dnc hack· george webb· awan brothers· spear phishing

1:38:57 So now we have the pre- oh well, before... so the president's on his way to meet with Putin and then the new meme is launched. He should not meet with Putin because Putin HACKED our election! I like the fact that the Democrats, various Democrats are coming out and telling the president what he should or should not do. Very much. I mean they're just grandstanding there's no way is going to pay attention any of them work but this is the worst kind of grants standing in head in front of the 2018 elections yeah I think they're starting to blow it be honest about it but the timing the timing of course is fantastic I think in in the President's favor to have a new 12

1:39:43 12 new Russians indicted on, you know the very last minute of your business week there on a Friday. I have a clip, we can play it. Yeah, I'd love to hear it! But first I want to play the pre-clip which is twelve indicted stunning detail, I think Paul and Dan, the indictment against 12 Russian intelligence operatives is stunning in its detail. Spelling out just how aggressively Russia was instilling huge amounts of data from Democrats to interfere with the 2016 election. Stunning amount of detail! I read this stunning amount of detail which interestingly enough at times to the letter is identical

1:40:32 to a lawsuit filed in California in 2017 by George Webb, if you remember that name. George Webb is some ex-intelligence guy who was doing video after video after video... Remember this? We played a couple of his clips. He'd still do it! It's like daily videos. Like could be five could be 15 minutes and he was mainly talking about Podesta and in 2017 he sued Podesta and other elected public officials including some in the Justice Department And his allegation was that it was the Awan brothers who hacked into the DNC, to the Podesta system. The DCCC CCC and that it was those guys

1:41:17 That did the hack Who obviously you know with working for Debbie Washam and Schultz probably had access to a lot of things And we know that these guys were just let off the hook very easily with some slap on the wrist for I think rather Outrageous banking fraud. I think I would get in more trouble. Oh, yeah You would that's why I think the whole thing was some sort of a CIA scam well Who knows exactly, but the fact that some pieces of the indictment were identical... I have both of them in the show notes. Identical to the Mueller indictment of the spear phishing setup where they used Act Blues instead of Act Blue to have people click on that. All of this

1:42:04 It seems, you could say it was plagiarized. I don't know if it was but to say oh such incredible detail yeah it was a lot of detail for a Justice Department who never saw the server they never saw it this is like the WTC 7 will go away well here we need a jingle for it the server got what's a server won't go away with in the server let me add something to this and this goes back to the PQB that we were talking about CrowdStrike, which has Ukrainian backing, Ukrainian co-founder who hate Russians I might want to point out. At least a lot of them do. A lot of them do That's what CrowdStrike is about and the CEO is Sean Henry good friends with Robert Mueller lunches with him goes to symposia with him together

CHAPTER 37 / 58 Discussion

CrowdStrike and DNC Servers, Roger Stone Exchange

The FBI's indictment of Russians relies on data from CrowdStrike, a private firm that examined the DNC servers because the FBI was never granted access. The hosts highlight CrowdStrike's ties to Robert Mueller and its Ukrainian backing. The indictment also mentions Guccifer 2.0 reaching out to Roger Stone, though Stone maintains the exchange was "benign and innocuous."

crowdstrike· robert mueller· dnc· roger stone· guccifer 2.0

1:43:06 And these are the guys that got the server and made all these allegations, now cited as a top US security firm. So the FBI's indictment not only is it based upon third party and not any investigating they did there's also no way to go back and check it because the servers have been wiped clean so this whole indictment can never hold any water There's no proof to show Unless, you know somehow you're gonna say well these guys seem okay. Yeah we'll just take their word for it

1:43:42 Yeah, it seems unlikely. So well let's play this second half information Russian command unit two six one six five in charge of stealing information Headquartered in this building in Moscow and 18 miles away here were units seven four four five five Allegedly weaponized the information posting online including through wikiLeaks damaging information on Hillary Clinton and Democrats just three days before the Democratic National Convention. Mueller portrayed the Russians as nimble, one example in the indictment suggesting they appeared to step up their attacks on Clinton on the same day as... Nice cyber effect by the way. This appeal from candidate Trump Russia if you're listening I hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing

1:44:33 That very day, according to the indictment, the Russian conspirators for the first time attempted to hack email accounts at a domain used by Clinton's personal office. Mueller also claims that hacker entitled Glipsefer 2.0 reached out to someone close to the Trump campaign believed to be his longtime strategist Roger Stone writing do you find anything interesting in the docs I posted? And then, please tell me if I can help you anyhow. Stone himself was not indicted he told ABC News that he is the person mentioned in the indictment but he insists that he's done nothing wrong Any objective person who will read that exchange will see it's benign its innocuous

CHAPTER 38 / 58 Discussion

CrowdStrike Demo Report, Intelligence Community Projects

A show producer provides a report on a private CrowdStrike demo, describing it as a project of the intelligence community staffed by former CIA and NSA agents. The company leverages Splunk for data mining and uses "managed hunter teams" rather than true AI. The report warns against their "white glove" option, which allows the company full access to a client's data.

crowdstrike· splunk· nsa· cia· machine learning

1:45:17 Special counsel Mueller's indictment list is growing. 32 people indicted so far with five felony convictions and more than 100 criminal charges Yeah, great course that's brought up on the hearings constantly. Oh there's a hundred people been in charge and then so many died and died and this is all for like these are all for like you know littering Producer Chris K attended a private or semi-private demo from the CrowdStrike folks The people who brought you the pewpew map And he sent us a little report which I'd like to share

1:45:57 Good day to the OG Podfather, sent you a tweet about this week ago. I attended a CrowdStrike demo here's he sent me a ton of screenshots which i will share with you John and maybe put them in the bin there...I don't know if it is useful for anything but just interesting to see. I'll put them in the newsletter. It was an eye-opening experience! I did get a few jokes on the PewPewMap and then doing the DNC server hack job not the FBI. There's a producer ladies and gentlemen When I did that, they seemed quite proud that they did the DNC break-in investigation and exposed those Russians part of the hack.

1:46:36 They are thoroughly convinced it was the Russians and not an inside job, which is a theory I agree with. There was way too much data moved for it to be done inside the network. I can't see them transferring that much info that quickly over an internet connection." Throughout the demo they threw out a lot of buzz terms. They said their staff are all former CIA and NSA It's the outsourcing of your intelligence. The guy who did the demo for me was a seven-year veteran of the NSA I have no doubt that CrowdStrike is a project of the Intel community and now check this because we know a lot of people who work at this company they leverage Splunk to build out their product You know, a lot of Pacho people went to Splunk. Brief me on this again

1:47:21 Splunk is a product that you put on I think on top of the database. It's basically a data mining engine and it's used lot for recommendations and for some Some funky way of using a database, um obviously I'm doing a poor job explaining it But it is a data mining tool in a lot of the pot show foot Yeah And they went public and everyone made a lot of cash over there They leveraged Splunk to build out their product. I've used Splunk before, so i'm not surprised this is the route they went It makes me wonder if Splunk as an Intel community project as well Yes, and you know for them going public I would say yeah probably if they were very successful offering. I'm certain that the NSA is like the CIA in that no one ever truly retires They truly retires to just move on to another arm of the organization. I learned a lot about out from my wife's granddad He's a retired CEO has a whole bunch of private stuff here about what he did

1:48:16 Back to the pitch. At times I found myself getting caught up in the sales pitch on all the fancy screens, of course my no agenda inoculations kicked in and pulled me back from going full retard... never go full retard! That's what he says. We never got to the pricing structure, I'm still waiting for that whopper of a number to come back It's a nice product and i have no doubt it can replace antivirus malware and firewall functions at the desktop just like the Cisco firepower product its strength is in getting enough people to use the product in order to learn and detect new exploits and attacks They talk about machine learning, but they are very much using actual humans since the machines can't learn yet with the so-called AI. They refer to the team as the managed hunter team and they call them their force multiplier

1:49:03 They also offer what they call their white glove option. This is someone crazy enough to allow them to view all their data and step in when a live attack is detected, and to remediate it for you. Anyone who chooses that option needs to be fired! Below are some of the buzz terms they threw out I'm not sure if this will help the show but I always want to share what I learned as a fellow dude named Ben yes The dudes name Ben make it happen As always, love the show. Grew up watching you on MTV and reading John's columns I'm a bit overdue for donations so i need to rectify that before I fall into full-on douchebag Here are some of the buzzword terms 125 billion events a day They only collect metadata DNA of an attack Nation states An indication of attack or IOA Non sales staff all XCIA and NSA IT hygiene And built on Splunk So... Nice hyped up company

CHAPTER 39 / 58 Discussion

Bitcoin Mining Allegations, Russian Election Interference

Media reports on "Meet the Press" claim that Russian operatives mined Bitcoin to fund their election interference activities. One commentator compared this to "stealing the plates" from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to mint US dollars. The hosts find the comparison outrageous and note that the Mueller indictment does not actually request the extradition of the 12 Russians.

bitcoin· russia· election interference· meet the press· extradition

1:49:58 Nothing there doesn't make sense. Led by a guy who was friends with Robert Mueller, who just indicted people based upon his buddies information from his commercial company I'd say shaky at best. Say the least Yeah or that Now that doesn't mean we didn't have enough people going just ape shit over Trump having the audacity to go see Putin and again I think if anything he set it up this way like yeah, go ahead tell him now is perfect before I go over there. Let everyone go crazy and ask me that you know did not go or to tell Putin down to extradite these people It says just all kinds of CNN was just going nuts on a second was extra dice extra edition requested

1:50:50 I bet it wasn't. It's being, no it's being... in the indictment? Yeah. Oh that's a good question! Well I have it here. I guess I could look..I can do a quick search. I don't think extradition was asked for. Of course not. Let me just see. Pull this open and here we go. Let me do a quick search extra...no And the phrase not extra, not even found. So no, of course not now. No, I know. Of course not. I mean you think at least go against the 26165 guys let alone to 74455 right? But also an indictment is not a conviction but do you think it was

1:51:33 Anyway, so the Putin is crazy. Putin isn't not job Putin is doing all kinds of crazy stuff Actually somehow he's any smarter than that dummy Trump Well here's meet the press from this morning says support that you and I were talking about before the show it also notes That among the things the Russians did was mining for Bitcoin now Bitcoin gets complicated But basically what that does is you have a computer system? That does incredibly complicated computations And by completing them, the system allows you to generate more Bitcoin. Which means the Russians generated money to make this happen They literally minted money to hack our election system. Now, the president saying well I don't know if i'm going to ask for extradition is stunning! If someone broke into the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and stole American dollars to commit a crime against the United States it would be an immediate call for extradition. They are literally minting money! Yeah that sounds like a good comparison to me Wow Is this guy off the rails?

CHAPTER 40 / 58 Discussion

Syria Peace Prospects, Russophobia and Rapprochement

Cynthia Hooper suggests on news programs that a peace deal in Syria between Trump and Putin would be "bad" because it would allow Russian media to dismiss critics as "Russophobes." The hosts criticize this logic, arguing that the media is framing potential peace and diplomatic "rapprochement" as a negative outcome for the world.

syria· vladimir putin· helsinki· rapprochement· russophobia

1:52:35 nuts or what? It's like stealing the plates and printing US dollars. Um, no it's really not isn't that great? That's the funniest thing I've heard for quite a while. I'm gonna give you borderline clip of the day for that being so outrageous Well, what say ye from clip number two and listen carefully to what she's really saying. This is Cynthia Hooper now if Trump actually does go to Helsinki meets with Putin and has some kind of cordial interaction with him or even reaches a deal on something quite concrete like Syria

1:53:16 The Russian press is going to be able to sort of say that any naysayers To this new kind of detente or rapprochement are simply again echoing this old story of Russophobia and that plays very well to the Russian people. Okay, so if I understand her correctly If Trump and Putin somehow arranged to create peace in Syria That's bad. It's bad because it's bad because then everyone could say, because then the Russians can promote themselves as not being horrible I mean...I'm speechless over this

1:53:55 What kind of ill logic do these people deal in? And I love that she says rapprochement. She says rapprochement and Russophobia. Russophobia and rapprochement, I mean gee! Rapprochement. Rapprochement, I do tell ya. Well then we have this... Kimberly, you have a lot of contacts in the national security community. This is where she's going to talk to Kimberly Dozier. I believe she is a former CIA operative. Community what do you know about the current threat? Well, this current threat is something that is much discussed, much recognized by the intelligence community, by the Pentagon. And it's something that they are daily fighting against so you're getting a bird's eye view of what President Trump is getting briefed probably nearly daily. That said

CHAPTER 41 / 58 Discussion

Cyber War Declaration, Crimea Conflict Misreporting

National security analysts are calling for a "declaration of war" on Russian cyber threats, similar to the war on Al Qaeda. During a news segment, a reporter incorrectly stated that there is currently a "war going on" in the Crimean Peninsula. The hosts mock this reporting, noting that while there is tension, there is no active kinetic war in Crimea.

cyber warfare· al qaeda· crimea· ukraine· russia

1:54:45 What Trump hasn't done, to our knowledge is to declare some sort of war on cyber threats by Russia the same way there was a declaration of war on Al Qaeda. War on terrorism And while every day you've got national security professionals battling it out in cyberspace against Moscow, what you don't have is a concerted effort with extra resources like we had in the war on terror. That's what they do not seem to be able to get across to the president in briefings to him and its matter of frustration for people who think maybe he will take some major hack before he gets

1:55:27 that they are not just adversaries but enemies probing US defenses every single day. Probing our defences? We're not doing enough with cyber, it'll take a major hack before this dummy figures it out! Stupid, stupid dummy. And this one took the cake! As Putin and Trump prepare for that face-to-face meeting the people of Ukraine are watching closely Does this meeting signal a resolution for the Crimean Peninsula where we should just remind you there's a war going on backed by Russia on Ukrainian territory? What?! But first... Wait John there's a war going on in Crimea I didn't know that Oh you didn't know that There is a war going on in Crimea Did you not hear the reporter just say that

1:56:12 Listen again. I think it's a war on prices Resolution for the Crimean Peninsula where we should just remind you there's a war going on backed by Russia on Ukrainian territory There's a war going on. I think we need to go do our correspondent right now Thanks, Adam. Be safe! That was Adam Curry reporting from Crimea. Where there's a war going on? I think it's the War on Prices at Ivan's Furniture. And with that...I think we should take a little break and need to breathe after that big report. I got one more ISO for your consideration Okay sir. I'm sorry yes not not sir Riz yes new podcast

Listener Donations, Brian Brushwood "New Podcast" ISO

The hosts play a high-pitched audio clip of Brian Brushwood shouting "Yes! I got a new podcast!" and adopt it as a new show meme. They read through a list of $50 donors, including Whitney Simon from St. Louis, who donated on behalf of her boyfriend Matt's birthday.

Tom Starkweather, Biker Animosity in New York

End-of-show mixer Tom Starkweather donated $50 and shared his experience with "incredible animosity" toward bikers in New York City. He noted that drivers often escape charges for hit-and-runs while bikers are blamed. The hosts also thank other mixers like Danny Loose and UK PMX, and acknowledge a donor from Valencia, California.

2:02:46 Yeah, we get a lot of that recently. Thomas Starkweather... That's where we can push the envelope on the insanity part a little more! Hey I want to read this from Thomas. Thomas is one of our end-of-show mixers and we have one... Thomas Starkweather? Yes and he did one for us today as well and actually i want to credit everyone who has End of show mix today, so it's Danny loose. We've got Tom Starkweather and UK PMX is also back So we've got some great end-of-show mixes And he says with this $50 donation his donation is in addition to my monthly and is specifically in response to a surprising Positive note from John on both DHM plugged in the best podcast in the universe regarding people using bikes

2:03:30 I did not want it to go unnoticed. In New York, we face incredible animosity from the cops and distracted drivers in matters of bikes. Drivers often get off with no charges for hit-and-runs and the biker gets blamed posthumously. Requesting moving karma as I move in with my girlfriend, a brilliant news producer and NA producer of this year. Yes excellent! We'll have many hours together enjoying the show. Many thanks Tom. Congratulations Tom we look forward to all you guys do that and all our producers but this is uh...this makes me happy You know, we should mention we do have a lot of people that are in the media actually. Those photos that were taken and were put in the newsletter and there was way too many of them And now it's about half the collection who was done by guy who had to remain anonymous because he is a member of the MSM. And you could be making real money from that stuff

2:04:21 Well, he probably is. I mean he just wants to side load it. He probably took his you know if it was his job to cover it may not have been right but he knew what the NOAA agenda thinking was specifically for no agenda style signs, in other words the nutty ones that have messages. That's unusable for M5M so you're right Yeah he couldn't use Trump loves Brexit No! Hey here is a song...Trump loves Brexit Oh as in love and marriage? Trump loves Brexit Love and Marriage Trump Loves Brexit It goes together like blah blah blah blah Come on people

2:05:03 I can write the lyrics if you want. Yeah, I can tell. Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce classed in Valencia California and we know how to pronounce Valencia or he said not Valen-shaw, Valencia.

PayPal Subscription Issues, Birthday Wishes for Matt

The hosts explain that PayPal often blames the show for expired subscriptions, but the issue usually stems from the hosts' refusal to "hound" users for updated credit card numbers. They conclude the donation segment with a "Happy Birthday" wish for Matt, the "douchebag boyfriend" of donor Whitney Simon, and hand out "jobs karma" to various listeners.

paypal· subscriptions· birthday· matt· no agenda

2:05:46 Showed 1051. Thank you very much Yes, I said my piece of the beginning so don't have to bring that back up But you know my feelings on it and then no way can that detract from the support we've seen from these fantastic producers and the ones who are still on our programs our Subscription programs in fact they just got an email from one of them During the show he said holy crap. I checked at my subscription had been expired by a PayPal which they typically blame on us And that, of course doesn't seem logical nor is it true. So if you have a subscription or 1212s... Well I have the explanation why we get blamed. When i put these together, I've chosen personally on behalf of myself and Adam

2:06:33 to not do a trick that PayPal and other collectors do, which is to move forward the donation to a new credit card number or whatever and hound the person until they cough up the new numbers. Or they just get transferred to the... Because we find it's rude? I think it's rude. Yeah And so because of that choice, it's our fault Yeah, that's why. Okay right because we're weird we don't want to be rude then they say well the no agenda show you got to talk to those guys I see well technically they're right but the wording is annoying

2:07:14 Technically they're right and that's all we can do about it. Yeah, well again We want to thank all those people Thank our executive producer and associate executive producer and everybody else who came up on the list here today? We got some karmas to hand out some jobs karma some relationship Karma from travel Karma Anonymous also requested some jobs Carmen wanted make sure I'd do that And thank you again another show for you filled with deconstruction on Thursday find us and support us at Dvorak.org slash N-A jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs you've got karma

2:07:58 It's a birthday, birthday on No Agenda! Well donations etc don't get in the way of content today. Only one birthday to celebrate but we do it wholeheartedly as Whitney Simons says happy birthday to her douchebag boyfriend Matt and we concur Happy Birthday Matt from everybody here at The No Agenda Show That's it no nights.

Oakland Zoo Gondola Glitch, Clip of the Day

A "digital glitch" caused visitors at the Oakland Zoo to be suspended in Swiss-made, state-of-the-art gondolas for 30 minutes. The hosts highlight the irony of a high-tech failure occurring in the heart of Silicon Valley. They play a "glitch" themed song and award the report a "borderline clip of the day" for its repetitive use of the word.

Well this one's just...I'm going through the clips and they're all up on the screen and I go and close them out when it goes to this. And this one just showed up. I don't even know or remember cutting it but this is the crime terrorism espionage clip. Crime terrorism in espionage Nah, it doesn't cut it by new podcast. Well not by today's standards No I mean you should have spread these out and you're just shooting your wad and yeah It was like I'm not gonna clean it up This is just one of these things either got it or you don't yeah? I'm not gonna spread anything out And do have a clip of the day for you You do well. I mean, I think it said I think it's a it's a clip for you It's a clip for you because I know how much you'd love these clips

2:09:28 Do I have to get... okay. Hold on, let me get some jingles. I don't even know what it is but i can guess what it is so I'm gonna get at least one jingle set up Okay which clip am I playing here? Oakland Zoo gondolas. Oakland zoo gondolas Some visitors to the Oakland Zoo were stuck high in the air for about 30 minutes this afternoon they were suspended in the zoos gondolas a zoo official said that digital glitch was to blame A GLITCH! Shut Up About The Glitch to reboot the system. The gondola started moving again at about 2 30 this afternoon as you spokeswoman said passengers were inconvenienced but no one was hurt they are state-of-the-art custom made gondolas Swiss made and with state of the art comes a lot of technology fully electric they're fully digital there was a digital glitch if you have computer problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems so to glitch ain't one

2:10:25 That's great reporting and that comes from the home of Silicon Valley ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, San Francisco California where everything is just a glitch And it was a double-glitch report it was a fantastic double glitcher Yep, double glitches they're rare there They're rare but when you find one in the wild this very satisfying yeah geez I'm gonna give you, you know. I can't give a clip of the day for that but i want to give you a borderline and deserve that And then my favorite video from this week as we've been tracking this progress over years We even have it nickname forum that apparently now people are using as well. I believe we coined the term

Jean-Claude Juncker "Sciatica" Incident, Dutch PM Reaction

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was seen stumbling and losing his balance at a NATO summit, which officials attributed to "sciatica" and back pain. The hosts argue that Juncker is clearly intoxicated and that Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte was "winking at the camera" while defending him. They characterize Juncker as a "lush" whose alcoholism is an open secret in the EU.

jean-claude juncker· nato· sciatica· alcoholism· mark rutte

2:11:10 Juncker the drunker. It was a difficult NATO summit for everyone, but none more so than European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker The 63 year old stumbled and lost his balance several times ahead of dinner on Wednesday evening. Junker has said he suffers from sciatica and others confirmed he complained with back pain. Just a CID. He doesn't have serious health problems as far as I'm aware of, but he does have back problem for some time Do you think that was the problem? Because he was smiling and in good spirit so... No no yeah but he is good spirited But he has a back problem for some time For the rest I think we'll go to the commission to ask more information Euronews reached out to the European Commission for comment A spokesperson said it's not appropriate to discuss health issues publicly Drunk or not drunk

2:12:02 I think we know the answer. The guy's a souse! You have to see the clip because it was... I saw the clip No, not the clip but the clip that i just played from Euronews when both people who are answering the question one of which is the Dutch Prime Minister Margritte When they're saying this well you know he has no official health problem They're winking at the camera How are they? Subconsciously, one eye like a little smile and both in the other first guy too. Everyone knows it's like the biggest secret The guy is a lush Yeah he's an alcoholic obviously And he needs to be helped Yeah if he's in public representing the EU and he sloshed I mean come on! Anyone who denies this should be on the Mueller team

Ride-Sharing Serial Rapist, "Bike-Sharing" Moniker Critique

San Francisco police arrested a serial rapist who posed as a ride-share driver to lure victims. The hosts use this to criticize the term "ride-sharing," arguing it is a "bogative" moniker for what is actually a commercial taxi service. They similarly criticize "bike-sharing" and electric scooters (like Lime), calling them "scooter rentals" that have become a "scourge" on city sidewalks.

ride-sharing· uber· lime· scooters· san francisco

2:13:00 That was good wasn't it? I'm practicing for my alt-right career. Yeah, well you might have to go there. Uh huh... So now I have a couple of leftovers from the earlier part of the show. Might as well play them and get my stuff out of the way. Oh! I do have one news item. Alright. And yeah, I remembered the era and i've always equated the current ride sharing era with the hitchhiking era of the late 60s There's a lot of free transportation, but in this case it is not free anymore and it's controlled because there are apps so there's less chance. But the hitchhiking era ended because of rapes and murders to kind of summarize things even though I had a friend who hitchhiked from coast-to-coast which was a big deal like a badge of honor that a lot people did. Let's put this way, reporting about rapes and murder stopped hitchhiking?

2:13:53 Yes, yes. That's probably more accurate well this is going on with ride-sharing now We're hearing a lot of this sort of thing San Francisco police said they've arrested a man who they're calling a serial rapist the man authorities claim fooled his victims into thinking that he was their rideshare driver and then sexually assaulted them Anyway that went off for 10 minutes given this report as some creep That I don't know what they are. They how do they intercepting these calls or they just drive around? Oh, no, like you're waiting. I read a quite an In-depth article about how this is done there's there's ways that they can spoof

2:14:33 the app or spoof with GPS locations and a number of things that are being done so they can get your ride, they can find out if you have arrived. They can then drive up themselves and grab the ride or they can book a right on your behalf and then have the GPS You know, spoof the GPS so it looks like you're in the car driving around and then you get charged and they get the money. I mean there's a whole bunch of different things that are possible. It's technology man! It's glitch! It's just a glitch baby! Professor Ted Moment there... And can we please- this is your- this is your work but can we please stop with his bogative ride sharing moniker? It's not ride sharing

2:15:18 And now we have Uber, of course is invested in Lime and these damn bikes, these scooters electric scooters. The Scourge of Austin on the sidewalks So I looked into this and they call it bike sharing. You're not sharing anyone's personal bike, you're renting! It might as well be called car rental or bike... Yeah yeah, just call it bike-sharing. Let's call it car sharing. I mean it's bogative, it's not true and it makes it sound friendly but it's not, it's just scooter rental. Just call what it is, it's not sharing anything. Not sure why we can't get off of that name

CHAPTER 48 / 58 Discussion

Entyvio Commercial Warnings, PML Brain Infection

The hosts deconstruct a commercial for the Crohn's disease drug Entyvio, which includes a warning for a rare, fatal brain infection called PML. They note the disclaimer states the condition has "not been reported" with the drug, leading them to wonder why the warning is included. They discuss a theory that more horrific warnings actually increase consumer interest in pharmaceutical products.

entyvio· crohn's disease· pml· brain infection· drug commercials

2:15:58 It worked. Yeah, you're right it did it did I believe yeah go ahead well let me play a couple of things uh I'm listening that I don't think I have the whole commercial but maybe I had part of it this product called MBO which is for yeah MBO it's for people who are nuts sometimes I should say Is this another is this a psychotic drug? It might be but the point is they got a little piece of information in here I've never heard on any as a disclaimer. I've never heard anything like this if you're moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's symptoms are holding back and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough it may be time for a change

2:16:46 Ask your doctor about Intivio, the only biological development approved just for UC and Crohn's. Intivio works at the site of inflammation in the GI tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission Infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. Antivio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. PML a rare serious potentially fatal brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. This condition has not been reported with antivio. Tell your doctor if you have an infection experience frequent infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores liver problems can occur with antivio nice

2:17:26 Alright, I have... Sounds like a winning product. It's for Crohn's disease Well, if you have Crohn's disease you can be pretty damn desperate so I can understand that anything people would love anything that helps That would be true So this disease or this disease this drug could cause this brain virus that gets will kill you or something Yeah But this says there's never been a reported incident of it using in tibia. So where do they get this information from and why do they have to disclaim something that's never happened? I don't know, I've never heard it ever on any as you know we both listen these drug commercials is you know ears perked up now uh I've never heard anything like that

2:18:16 I've seen this commercial, and I've heard this before. I never thought to clip it but you're absolutely right like that's what they're saying is like this cause could cause PLM which could virus in your brain you'll die but that's never happened But if anyone of you feeling we got a headache Maybe this is your old theory just add on a bunch of horrible things that can happen Yeah To get people to take it because by your old theory well the theory is and this is evidenced with cigarette packages The more, the bigger the warning. The more horrible the warning, the more inclined people are to buy the product and use it And why this is I can't explain but this is why these cigarette companies in Europe in particular where this is mandatory have the most unbelievable pictures

CHAPTER 49 / 58 Discussion

Walk Away Campaign, Confession Booth Video Style

The "Walk Away" campaign, where former Democrats share their reasons for leaving the party, is being dismissed by some as a "Russian bot" operation. The hosts argue it is a sincere movement using a "confession booth" video style borrowed from reality TV. They play a clip from a woman advocating for "freedom of thought" and walking away from political shunning.

walk away· youtube· reality tv· russian bots· freedom of thought

2:19:01 And, you know it's gotten to a point I know that people in the Netherlands certainly joke about it saying. Uh...I have baby dying of cancer can I trade that? Who has a horrible lung picture? I mean they're playing these games like go fish! Go Fish! There is another oddball clip play this walk away girl and freedom of thought Yeah this from though this is a Russian bot I presume The walk away movement is just Russian bots You know that don't you It's not real I can't even remember what it's about. Well, you know the walk away campaign? Yeah! Walk away. Right. Oh yeah oh no right walk...right right right The walk-away campaign...right this is why...okay don't have to play this clip yet. The walk-away campaign well i don't know that its Russian bots Well it's not but that's what's being said No John thats whats being said because of course it's a real thing

2:20:02 Oh, okay. You have me confused because I was lost track of it already. I'm sorry no that's we had a couple things on... A couple shows ago we talked about it a little bit then I forgot all about it and there's a bunch of people that are kind of getting its kinda kick-started to use that word Well, it's also a format which you pointed out. It is a new format used on YouTube... maybe not new but more people are doing it. It's confession booth style. Hey y'all! Yes, a lot of Catholics like this by the way. Yeah hey y'all let me tell you about my walk away moment. Which is important because that is what reality TV is

2:20:43 You see the scene then you have the confession booth people understand confession booth video very well So I think it's highly effective. Well, I never thought about it is coming from reality TV Why did it is that you mentioned all these are the scenes the same? It's like they're talking Oh yeah bill, you know he left me and I you know Yeah, interview what this one girl. I like this one this one It had a nice message to it and I thought it was sincere even though when I retweeted, I got yeah now that's bull. She has always been you know Republican. A lot of people think there is just Republican shills but I don't think so

2:21:24 You know, the real issue is that we have a news media that answers to corporate sponsors not to actually conveying real news. And sadly the majority of Americans are getting their news from those sources somehow in the last year advocating for freedom of thought has become a radical notion And I am sorry to anyone who I tuned out in the past. I am sorry to everyone like me, who's getting shunned, who is getting insulted by friends, by family just because you want to be able to think for yourself and you want to be able to advocate that everyone should be thinking for themselves

2:22:26 Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of that. Yeah, I thought that was a good no agenda message. Totally no agenda message and what i like about the walk away is it doesn't say become republican it says walk away from this this is not what I want Yeah, it's very different from become Republican. Right? I need to read a little passage here from an interview in the Spectator who interviewed Harvey Weinstein who at 66 is facing well pretty much life imprisonment for him because he wouldn't need much for him to die in jail and very tasty little quote here that I'd like to share from this interview And this is Harvey speaking To the interviewer

CHAPTER 50 / 58 Discussion

Harvey Weinstein Defense, Asia Argento Allegations

In an interview with The Spectator, Harvey Weinstein claimed he never forced himself on women but admitted to offering acting jobs in exchange for sex, stating "everyone" in Hollywood does the same. The hosts discuss his potential legal defense and mention that Asia Argento allegedly dated Weinstein for ten years before accusing him of rape. They suggest the "Me Too" movement has largely faded from the news cycle.

harvey weinstein· asia argento· hollywood· me too· sexual assault

2:23:09 Listen, you were born rich and privileged and you're handsome. I was born poor ugly Jewish And had to fight all my life to get somewhere You got lots of girls no girl ever looked at me until I made it big in Hollywood Yes, I did offer them acting jobs in exchange for sex But so did and still does everyone but I never ever forced myself on a single woman Call me naive or stupid but in a funny way I believe him And here is the reporter speaking. I've seen Harvey and Ashton during my annual Christmas party, the one I throw every year in New York with Michael Mailer He hits on every young woman but a naive way Quote will you give me your address? I'll make you star! Is the theme of the pickup Some say yes some say no his reaction is always the same smile laugh and hit on the next one There you go The man needs to be heard there's a very explicit warning there

2:24:10 And also that's going to be his defense. He is going to say, he dated Asia Dargento apparently for 10 years before she claimed that he raped her which I'm not saying he didn't there is a lot of information still coming out and Harvey Weinstein is a douche and deserves to be in jail but what he is saying listen carefully it's still happening Yeah, Hollywood. Duh! I mean people really want to be on the screen But as you said it will all go away once we once they had that one special election with the You know the dude who wrote something in a yearbook? Oh yeah right that hell is his name. Kind of dropped the... It's gone. Me too isn't is gone. It's just gone. It's done. I guess we fixed it Everything's fair now everything's good for the women

TimeHop Data Breach, Centralized Platform Risks

The social media platform TimeHop suffered a major data breach, compromising the accounts of millions of users. The hosts warn that TimeHop's model—which requires access to all of a user's social media accounts to track history—is inherently dangerous. They argue that uploading access controls to a centralized platform is a significant security risk for "adults under 40."

timehop· data breach· social media· millennials· security

2:27:01 We do it every day, the celebrities! Like that? Or is that too valley girl? Yeah. You got it. You're nailing it. It's pretty good. Alright so there's that one then there are two... well actually there was a hack that just came in this morning and I want to talk about this particular hack Time hop. I don't know if you've heard of time hop, but I had not heard of it. I have heard of it but I don't remember what it is. Time Hop is very popular with the adults under 40 and I'm speaking to them specifically But anybody who uses these systems... You use that term two or probably three times in the show It's millennial Obviously for some reason Yeah well I've said this previously which you don't remember I said Millennials prefer to be called adults under forty

2:27:49 I don't know a one millennial that prefers to be called that. Alright, so it's millennials TimeHop is a platform where you give them access to all of your accounts your social media accounts and they track everything so their interface is a way for you to easily hop back in time to see what happened across your social media channels at a specific date or specific time Now, the phallus and they were compromised and there's millions of course of pieces of information out there. You know it's breached this is what happens but the problem with this is that you gave them... A second ago a second ago you used the word phallus. Fallacy I meant yeah you know why don't you listen to what I'm talking about and stop being... Okay I'm sorry I'm trying to speak in terms of what you're going through. God damnit! It pisses me off when you do that

2:28:40 It's not funny. If it were funny I could understand, you know just ant-fucking my words... I know it's very beavish in my head. For the fucking amount of donations! I don't need to take that abuse Okay Continue please Uploading your information and your access controls to a centralized platform is stupid You think? There's another one and I'm gonna tell you right now called updater dot com An updater.com is a company that is being heavily marketed to millennials and college kids

CHAPTER 53 / 58 Discussion

Updater.com Business Model, Real Estate Data Mining

Updater.com is a service marketed to college students and millennials to help manage the logistics of moving. The hosts reveal that the company's business model involves selling "contextual and personalized" data to businesses trying to reach relocating consumers. They warn that users are "being taken" by providing credit card numbers and subscription details to a platform that will eventually be hacked.

updater.com· real estate· data mining· moving· privacy

2:29:16 because it helps you move. So what you do is, you give them your address, your cell phone all your subscriptions, your cable subscription, your credit card number, you give them everything and when you move they take care of it all and all the management companies of all buildings in America are now signing on to this system where they have all of your information to make your moves easy and I tell you, I've seen this and heard with my own eyes It's great. This is so handy, it's so easy particularly when you're moving around during your college years from one apartment to a dorm your address changes and I just wanted to read their business model because they're pretty big company just so people understand what their business model is

2:30:03 Hundreds of the most prominent real estate companies in the US, from real estate brokerages to property management companies rely on Updater to help their clients transition to their new home. With significant market penetration of all U.S household moves, Updater enables contextual and personalized communications between relocating consumers and the U.S businesses spending billions of dollars trying to reach them You are being taken And it's dangerous because these guys get hacked, they got a lot more than some token authorization like the TimeHop people. And I'll say the same for what's-the-name of the company that will protect your identity? Those guys are going to get hacked too and everyone's identity will be out in the open once again. This is a bad thing to be apart of. Well this stems from that...I think it was a financial services company

2:31:04 You'd put all your accounts in with their system. The US Postal Service does this too and also you get magazines and all kinds of crap showing up I don't know about the postal service, but what? I've done it! We talked about it on the show doesn't matter if you don't remember we've used them and then they put you on lists. You don't think these guys put you on lists? Yes they're selling it that's my whole point Or is there a fee for this? Not to the college student, no. Oh well there you go now your product I just read you the business model Yeah i know but didn't know that they were just productizing these poor users You mean kids Kids yeah Well im looking at the users and they have bunch of pictures And theres mostly young women Some old guy

2:32:04 black old guy, a mom-looking woman. So they're not marketing directly to kids? Not in the... maybe not the website but they are at colleges you better believe it that's where I got the information from. They would have to sign up for something well i can see it No they're not dumb they just misinformed and they say oh this is so great its so handy but their giving credit card numbers everythings in there yeah wouldn't be a good idea and then finally get hacked and boom your broke Finally, just to add some more context of the reason why I like my Kyocera flip phone which does not have an app infrastructure. Apps are just evil and it's not about the GPS in fact these researchers from University in Boston forget which one

CHAPTER 54 / 58 Discussion

Side Channel Attacks, Smartphone Sensor Spying

Researchers at Northeastern University demonstrated "side channel attacks" that use a smartphone's accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to track a user's location without GPS permission. These sensors can be accessed by malicious apps, such as a simple flashlight app, to guess where a user lives or works. The researchers note that there is currently no way for users to turn these sensors off.

side channel attack· accelerometer· gyroscope· northeastern university· privacy

2:32:49 did some tests and here's what they learned. It's called a side channel attack because it targets sensors in your device that weren't designed to provide location like the accelerometer, it measures how fast the phone is moving the gyroscope that tracks rotation and the magnetometer which works like a digital compass Guevara Nubir is a professor at Northeastern. People don't really realize that their mobile phone with access to all these sensors is in some sense potentially the best spying device you can imagine. And he says combining readings from the sensors could arm criminals with secret info As they become more and more accurate, this may become a primary means of invading users' privacy They tested it out in cities from New York to London and say it works best in places like Boston where streets aren't set up like a grid

2:33:43 If you were to travel the same path every day, we have extremely high probability to guess where you live or work. He says hackers could access your device through a malicious app like this simple flashlight the researchers created You need an app installed on your phone but once that is done all other processes are automatic And he says some apps may have complete access to some of the sensors in your device without asking for permission. As long as you have your phone switched on and the app is already installed on your phone, this would record your information The team used Android devices for this study but say it would also work on the iPhone because permissions for the sensors are similar Apple declined a comment Google tells us its latest operating system quote

2:34:29 restricts access to sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, and smartphone sensors do not directly provide user location data. And this research highlights just how difficult it would be to use these sensors for location tracking." Is there currently a way for users to turn all these sensors off? Unfortunately there's nothing. The team is now searching for solution meantime at the best way to protect yourself is only download apps from Google and Apple's official stores. And always keep your operating system up to date. Oh yeah, I'll get right on that Only to point out that as I said, it's all the sensors. It's not just the GPS and there did this it's very accurate you know the You know the compass app doesn't use the GPS it uses the accelerometer or you know There's a whole bunch of things I think we have an opportunity for For an app ourselves that would they would counteract this whole thing maybe put you back on track? Do you mean like shut it down yeah Yeah, I don't think that's possible Come on

OPCW Douma Report, Chemical Weapons Allegations

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) issued an interim report on the April 7th attack in Douma, Syria. The report found no evidence of organophosphorus nerve agents in environmental or biological samples, contradicting initial claims used to justify military action against Bashar al-Assad. The hosts argue that the media is "hushing up" these findings because they don't fit the established narrative.

opcw· douma· syria· bashar al-assad· chlorine

2:35:31 Maybe be able to shut down all those sensors. Yeah, shoulda woulda coulda I bet you can maybe maybe and then now I have to report something mm-hmm the You know Theodore the little debate is the adorable its first word no wait wait wait Wait is it gonna hurt my feelings? Maybe it wasn't Dada Mama or Opa app at really oh Yeah, his first word was app. Yeah app oh my god I'm very sorry to hear this well expect how do you feel? I did I thought it was kind of funny So they're just giving the kid the iPhone to shut him up like every other parent No, they were they refused to do something like that They're not idiots now. They gave him a taste of the good stuff though otherwise he wouldn't be asking for it

2:36:30 Well, he points to cognac when he says alf. So it seems unlikely... Now he's getting a good education! Grandpa is on the case this is good news. Hey Gramps dip my binky in that again will ya? We know what's going on. A report from the OPCW which is worth sharing because you know what do we know about Assad and chemical weapons Well, it depends on what we're told. I mean a lot of it is we've had to kind of reverse engineer to know what we know. Well the most recent attack on April 7th was chlorine was it not? It was chlorine and killing people and it was Assad's zone. Remember they had the proof and the thing came through the roof look here it is this is all Assads doing

2:37:26 You're talking about Bashir, not Julian. Exactly! Bashir al-Assad. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, OPCW issued an interim report on their investigation to date regarding the allegations of chemical weapons use in Douma Syria on April 7th The activities in Douma included on-site visits, collected environmental samples, interviews with witnesses data collection. In a neighboring country the team gathered or received biological environmental samples and conducted witness interviews. Hold on are you gonna let me guess what happened? Sure It turned out there's a bunch of bullcrap OPCW designated labs conducted analysis of prioritized samples the result results show that no

2:38:13 Organophosphorus nerve agents or the degradation products were detected in the environmental samples, or in plasma samples taken from alleged casualties. Along with explosive residues various chlorinated organic chemicals were found in samples from two sites for which there is a full chain of custody Worked by the team to establish the significance of these results is ongoing so they're gonna try and Hush up the chain of custody because they know where it came from And guess what? It wasn't from Assad and there was no nerve agent involved. Gee, did you hear a new reporting on that?

2:38:51 Well, the first time this happened when they determined those early rocket attacks that were violating Obama's red line Yeah Those early reports indicated that it wasn't Assad and there was plenty of documentation to back that up And we didn't hear much about that if anything so I would guess that no You're not gonna hear anything about it because it doesn't fit into the scheme of things exactly. Oh Exactly, but I'm glad that we are have a chance to report these things just need the headline. It's enough it's kind of depressing no Well, they think that we do important work. It's depressing We get not supposed to pray little compensation this last round

Israel Moon Mission, Elon Musk Falcon 9

Israel announced plans to land a probe on the moon in 2019, using a Falcon 9 rocket built by Elon Musk's SpaceX. The hosts express skepticism about the mission's success and mention that Musk has been "unmasked" as a top donor to a Republican PAC. They joke about the possibility of a "moon race" and the return of Saturn V technology.

israel· moon· elon musk· falcon 9· spaceil

2:39:32 And the news is just worse than ever about reporting real news instead of what some narrative somebody dreamed up or said that CIA wants them to report. And I blame the CIA for this, although they seem to have some sort of a... The goods on Trump nor do they think they do about something the Russians have on him which sounds like... Sounds like it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, sorry That's right everybody we are in the second half of show you know what that means a trip to the other side I thought it means we have 10 minutes left go on and we have about five minutes left Israel Are going to land on the moon in 2019? Obviously just to visit their moon bases, but they're just pretending. It's a new thing and

2:40:38 I'm glad they're doing that so now it'll be finally we'll get a race and maybe they bring back the Saturn 5 or whatever it took to get to the moon. So, I'm told but that's not why I break into second half of show now I bring to you the true... Hold on a second was that some sort of news report? What? Or is that just something was unwise group? No! The Israeli who announced this have they even set the satellite up Let's see, Space L said they're sending a probe will be launched from Cape Canaveral in a Falcon 9 rocket built by Elon Musk. Okay And they're gonna land the probe on the moon not a person a probe and he bets it doesn't make it No I'm not gonna bet because Elon you know still has a Tesla flying in space Oh Elon who of course has been unmasked as a top donor to House Republican to a PAC

JFK Assassination Theory, E. Howard Hunt and Aliens

Attorney Douglas Caddy claims that CIA officer E. Howard Hunt told him John F. Kennedy was assassinated because he was about to share the "most vital secret"—the presence of aliens—with the Soviet Union. The hosts discuss the "Majestic 12" (MJ-12) group and the 2001 "Open Disclosure" event in Washington DC. They remain skeptical of the theory but find the "alien presence" angle intriguing.

2:41:38 You may want to think about shorting Tesla tomorrow. He's just a Republican douchebag! Now, the true reason for the second half of show is finally can tell you why JFK was assassinated. Oh cool Former Washington DC attorney Douglas Caddy was a close friend of E Howard Hunt who he represented when hunt was found to be at the center of The Watergate scandal in 1972 Hunt was an officer in the CIA when John F. Kennedy was president. Hattie claims that he asked Howard Hunt about the assassination one night and received a shocking answer The last time I saw Howard Hunt was in 1975 He called me, and said you'd like to have dinner So dinner was finished we went out to the sidewalk And I thought well this may be the last time I'll see Howard is going away again I'm moving from Washington and so at my own curiosity I said to Howard

2:42:41 I was John Kennedy assassinated. And he said, John Kennedy was assassinated because he was about to give our most vital secret to the Soviet Union and I said our most vital secret? I said what could that be? He leaned forward and looked me in the eyes and he said alien presence. He shook my hand and walked away If the stories about the Majestic 12 are true, and those involved with the top secret group were ready to take such drastic measures to keep its existence hidden. Was it ever discontinued? Do you think that MJ-12 is still in existence today? Well what I've been told is that they have changed

2:43:29 the letters and the numbers probably more than once. So it's the same idea, it's the same control, same files, same archives, same power. If you look at what has happened in last six years, It is really possible that more decisions have been made inside of our government because of this subject ETs and technology than any of us would ever know Yeah, baby! There you go. It doesn't make any sense if you follow the literature and I'll include the Corso document in that and then subsequent discussions that have been made public The most interesting of which of course took place in...I think it was March or May

2:44:23 of 2001, just before 9-11 where there was something like 40 of these guys from different parts of the government and all over the place making this huge confessional in Washington DC. Yeah it was open disclosure Open disclosure and they had all kinds of discussions about this It's believed that... The literature believes that the Russians know about this There wasn't nothing to disclose that Kennedy was going to tell them that they didn't know And they were in cahoots with us, these guys blasted them once in a while. In fact that famous Russian nuke recently I think it was about three years ago they blasted the big bomb

2:45:08 atmosphere at some 10 miles or 20 miles up or something it was in the some obscure part of Russia and it was it was in violation of the treaties about blowing up a bombs above yes yeah I recall yep yeah nobody made a fuss or said anything about it because that was obviously done for some deterrence purpose. How dare you speak out against The History Channel? Well, as soon as you brought that I could tell it was a history check because that one guy who asked the question is that weird looking character with all the hair from the Madusa-looking guy. I love that guy! That's fantastic So I'm just gonna bring people back up to speed on this so yeah it seems unlikely All right Guy, think we can close this out for today? I do have... let me see.. I got a Hillary... I think time for one more
