About this episode

Kankakee gas stations face a wave of cyber-hacking as gas jackers bypass pump terminals to steal fuel, while former Texas Governor Rick Perry is spotted flying commercial on Southwest Airlines without an entourage. The vulnerability of fuel infrastructure highlights a week of domestic security concerns, including a successful social engineering attempt to bypass TSA Pre-Check at Midway Airport. These events coincide with a massive 10% Dow Jones correction as Charles Schwab analysts point to global growth fears in China.

Senator Ted Cruz shifts his legal stance on the 14th Amendment to align with Donald Trump, while ABC and CBS frame the term anchor baby as a scripted offensive slur to benefit the Hillary Clinton campaign. The FBI expands its investigation into Clinton’s private server, specifically targeting aides Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Jacob Sullivan for potential criminal liability under 18 USC 2071. Meanwhile, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund begins a fire sale of Greek national assets to German banks, and Efraim Halevy of Mossad signals elite support for the Iran nuclear deal despite verification loopholes at the Parchin military site.

Caitlyn Jenner faces potential manslaughter charges in Malibu just as ratings for I Am Cait collapse due to a lack of authentic conflict. In a lighter moment, a family of bears in a New Jersey swimming pool goes viral, sparking theories that the story was a plant to promote the CBS series Zoo. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak celebrate episode 750 by deconstructing the rise of science as a modern religion and the peculiar marketing of medical catheters on Fox News.

CBS Series Zoo, Cecil the Lion Promotional Theory

The hosts examine the possibility that the global news coverage of Cecil the Lion was a coordinated promotional push for the CBS summer series Zoo. They describe the show's premise involving animals rebelling against humans and note its poor critical reception and ratings despite the timely real-world controversy.

cecil the lion· cbs· zoo· james patterson· animal rebellion

01:29 You know, Cecil the Lion. This whole thing...this played out over the past two months correct? Well before you do that can I explain a couple of things about bears in the pool since your unfamiliar with this? Sounds like there were some bears in the pool somewhere! Yeah well yes there were bears in the pool five of them How hard is that to understand?! I get it But it was in Jersey Were there bears? A lot of bears in Jersey Only those that drive motorcycles Oh, oh. All right anyway onward OK I did not realize this but the Cecil Cecil Cecil the lion thing appears yes how crazy is it? To have been a promotional push and I didn't realize it maybe dentistry for what for the new CBS series event this summer known as Zoo. Oh zoos already on yeah

02:29 Did you see Zoo at all? I've tried to watch it a couple of times. Listen, I don't hear anything exactly where the birds were the monkeys have you ever heard this quiet out here Predators kill for food but these people who just murder stay that's good boy I love they put that in there

03:12 Born to be wild you will be eaten by lions this summer on CBS So this is a they have a whole bunch of trailers, but did the Lions eat the people who are hunting them? Yeah This show came out before this Cecil incident right and it didn't go anywhere And it didn't and it did not go anywhere. No ratings It came out end of May beginning of June didn't go anywhere no ratings unwatchable crap It's because it's a piece of crap. Yeah, hence... The whole premise of this show is that the lions among other animals but the Lions are tired of being hunted for trophies and then they rebel

03:59 And then they draft their friends the dogs. Turn them into wolves! Yes, well dogs are big friends of lions in this show Yeah I can't help it. I saw that one and went oh this makes nothing but sense yeah Well it doesn't make any sense to me It doesn't make any sense that shows even on but you know different things get green-lighted Have you ever had the following happen to you? And I should have looked this up. I bet you there's a high death toll of people tripping over a suitcase in the hotel room. In the dark." I don't know about the death toll, really? You think somebody died? Have you ever tripped over a suitcase...in the dark? Yeah, I have And it's one of the most painful awkward things to happen It depends on how you catch it If your wearing your shoes Well not when im going to the bathroom in the middle of the night Oh, try and go before you go to bed That is my advice Write it down Wait a minute

CHAPTER 05 / 54 Discussion

Chicago Architecture Tour, New Homeless Begging Formats

Observations from a Chicago visit include a recommendation for the architectural boat tour and a visit to Millennium Park. A new "format" for homeless begging is identified, involving individuals sitting with their heads between their knees holding specific signs about lost jobs and families, which is compared to similar tactics seen in Barcelona, Spain.

09:47 Anyway, so... Can I remind members of the audience who want to donate to us in person a little just a little etiquette thing? Okay. Whatever your donation is put it in an envelope and give us the envelope Yeah with writing on the envelope So we know what's going on. Yeah, so you have your name if its cash Curiously enough no envelopes were handed to me But I did learn a number of things on this trip Have you ever done the architectural boat tour of Chicago? No, but I hear it's fantastic. It's outrageous! If you're in Chicago, you must take this boat tour. It is...I mean, I had no idea. I've been to Chicago lots of times. Yeah, I used to live in Chicago when I was a kid. Really where did you live? I lived right now in an area that's all Hispanic. It's pretty close to the...pretty close inn

10:41 What is that? Old Town. Can you give me a little more help on that? On North Avenue, okay north avenue area So went to Millennium Millennial Park which I call Millennium Park but i guess that's wrong Did the tour and man it's really nice there's one thing I noticed though this is there's a new format for the homeless beggars and you know me When I'm walking down the street... Five bucks. No, not if you're just begging for money if you're doing something, if your tap dancing, if your hitting drums with a stick, I'm good for ya but the new format and it's always jarring when you see homeless people because well although its starting here in Austin as well You talking about the cosplay?

11:27 What's cosplay? Well, the guys dress up in like a Smurf opera. No no no no or big giant Mickey Mouse. Here is the new format and I saw at least five people doing this they're sitting on the ground with their head between their knees you know so their faces between their knees holding up a sign against their knees that says lost job home and family am incredibly embarrassed please help And I must have seen five different versions of this lost job, family kids dog. I know exactly what this looks like because i've seen it in Europe. I saw it Spain and Barcelona to be exact. Huh? I've never seen this before but its a format. Three years ago But its an obvious format Yeah! And I don't like it. If you had a house and a job and a family and you lost them

12:24 You know, come on. You can do better than that." I'm just not buying it. I'm sorry. I'm not buying it. Well tips for the homeless! I'm sure we have plenty of homeless listeners.

CHAPTER 06 / 54 Discussion

Southwest Airlines Travel, TSA Pre-Check Social Engineering

An account of flying Southwest Airlines through Midway Airport describes a successful attempt to get a non-Pre-Check passenger through the expedited security line by distracting the TSA agent. The efficiency of Midway Airport is compared favorably to O'Hare.

southwest airlines· midway airport· tsa· pre-check· security

13:05 Uh, so what's got to be that? That's the way to go Southwest. Yeah you just did this is just a short two hours and nine minutes wait on to come in for that crap midway exactly two hours and nine minutes is perfect absent and Midway And believe me anyone going to Chicago if you can go to Midway cuz that oh Harry it takes you all hours into Chicago suck suck sucks all the time Midway is a great airport And, but actually on the way over I'd booked the tickets and I had my pre-check. And Tina doesn't have a pre-check and so she said well why don't you just go through the pre-checks? I'm not going to do that we're not slaves come on! We're both going through the pre check line watch this

13:47 And so I held on the two tickets, her ticket behind mine. The two driver's license on top of mine and I go to the TSA guy and we're standing next to each other put down Hey how you doing? Gee is it too busy? And i'm just trying to distract him Yeah you were trying to buffalo him...and it worked! Oh that's a shame It works! What are we paying these people for? It worked! We sailed right through Now on the way back here's the kicker We're in the plane, we boarded Did you get back with the pre-check No, we had as we're going through the pre-check line and at Midway the It wasn't even a TSA woman. It's one of those airport women You know who stand there and say show me your burning passion? Yeah, it's just your wife's not pre check I said hold on a second Who are you you're not my wife go away from me Didn't work Your wifes not preaching your wives now preaching this is not my wife where's my life

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry was spotted flying Southwest Airlines to Austin without an entourage. The encounter included a brief interaction where Perry asked about a visible wrist injury, leading to a discussion on the humility of certain public figures versus typical celebrity behavior.

rick perry· southwest airlines· austin· celebrity· governor

14:49 Wrong wife. No, so we're on the plane and we're sitting down And you know how when someone you recognize if you can see him out of the corner AI and you kind of have that instant recognition That's what humans are So good at neural networking be unlike Google tagging photos or Facebook automatically You were pretty good at it nice and I look I see oh my god Guess who was walking onto our Southwest flight to Austin hitman? Nope Two more you need two more What? Two more guesses. It wasn't The Rock Close, no! No Let me think... Madonna No Rick Perry Oh cool Yeah I said hey governor how you doing and i had my wrist wrapped up and he puts his hand on my shoulder How ya healing son? I was flabbergasted like uh coming along fine gov

15:49 And then as we're leaving the airport, because he was just there picking up his bag. I don't know what happened but i thought it was kind of cool. He's laid back and people are looking at him you know whatever and uh... Oh he flew into Austin with ya? Yeah! He's on the same flight Southwest yeah southwest yeah oh man how mighty have fallen. Then you know as were leaving he's leaving and I say hey he says well hey man have a good trip home man Oh, okay. Manning me? That's funny! Yeah I thought it was...I wonder what the backstory is maybe he just always flies on this it's probably easier well there's the ease factor and it's also uh he's I guess he's not putting on airs no definitely not no and you know a private jet because I've been really super famous back in the day and I think that I was probably so full of myself but there's no way I would fly

16:46 Southwest as a celebrity. Well, you know there's between him and you I'm all in on Rick Perry now It was good right? Yeah, I thought it was yeah, that's great didn't have an entourage nothing nothing just by himself That was funny huh? Huh? Yeah, I know but give them new props Anyway, so I picked up a local news story from Chicago that I wanted to share this falls under our cyber hacking heading the unintended consequences of technology, I'll just play it. Cathy, gas stations have always been popular targets for armed robbers now savvy crooks don't need guns to make off with full tanks instead these gas jackers are armed with inside information Gas Jackers! and tonight they aren't the only security threat at the pump The i-team has learned of a glitch that could... Awww! A Glitch! expose those underground storage tanks to potential cyber attacks

Gas Jackers, Cyber Hacking at Kankakee Gas Stations

A local news report from Kankakee, Illinois, details "gas jackers" who use inside information or pick locks on pump terminals to enter test modes. This allows them to pump free fuel and sell it to other drivers for cash, highlighting vulnerabilities in gas station technology.

kankakee· gas jacking· hacking· cyber attack· surveillance

17:49 For something like this to happen is just crazy. This surveillance video from a gas station on the north end of suburban Kankakee capturing the unusual hacking theft in action last month on a busy weekday evening cars start lining up at pump 7 but from inside the station owners say this monitor shows no activity, no prepaid, no credit card activated, no gas being pumped or so it seemed I noticed that gas was being pumped but nothing was indicating on the register So right away my instincts kicked in that okay, something's going on. Kankakee police tell the I-Team this is an unusual heist in progress The thief apparently from the Chicago area. I believe this was him investigators suspect He picked the lock on this terminal and entered a...I love to pick the lock...fault security code Oh cyber sounds! Allowing him put the pump into test mode essentially pumping gas for free

18:42 Police say his goal, cash. Nice! He was lining up people saying hey I'll fill up your car for 20 bucks and it's so simple you know of course the password is probably password 123 on most of these things. Something like that yeah test mode we're gonna see we're gonna see so many of these examples People have such... Get a clue. These technologies don't work! Well, they work but they do not work necessarily in your favor or it depends on who you are. They don't work? Yeah. I mean yeah something happens but they're just not what's supposed to happen. No. What they described is not supposed to happen. Uh-no. Of course not. But I think its good we're going to see a lot of this type of jacking and hacking going on Jacking and hacking Gasjackers

19:32 Jacking and hacking. I'm jackin' and hackin'. There's a joke there, I won't go into it. That's alright So what else? Well, I don't have much else... well, I want to thank everyone who said we should meet up but didn't have time. I'll come back to Chicago We can do a meetup. Go to Chicago and actually set up a meet-up so you get 10 or 20 people Yeah, we will do one. We're going to do a proper meet-up. If they have enough people in the area then... Just Tina's friends & family is enough for a meet-up Yeah, we should do a meetup. It's just like you said, two hour flight is nothing. Well here's what I'm going to do...I'm gonna take the Airstream up to Chicago Did you get it yet? Tuesday Yep! Tuesday So are you gonna get the Airstream on Tuesday and then its gonna be in Chicago by the end of the week? Yeah no. So where are you gonna park this sucker? Oh um..the dealer will let me park at the dealership for 50 bucks a month

CHAPTER 09 / 54 Discussion

Airstream Acquisition, Love Laundry Tour Signage

Plans are finalized for a new Airstream trailer, which will be parked at a dealership and tested at McKinney State Park. A producer offered to provide vinyl decals for the trailer, leading to the branding of the upcoming road trip as the "Love Laundry Tour."

airstream· love laundry· decals· road trip· mckinney state park

20:32 That's reasonable. Very nice way if you had a storage room would be 50 bucks a month and you can use, I believe you will use the trailer as the storage room for all your crap. Where am I going to put this crap? Oh, I know just throw it in the air stream now so Tuesday night I'm gonna do a test right away but drag the thing from the dealership. I'm gonna go to McKinney State Park And uh, you have a hitch. Yeah yeah I have a hitch hello didn't i drag a trailer around the country before? I don't know if he did that whatever car you were using then it was already blown up by still have mustang sally she probably still has 90 horsepower left in her It's a Mustang oh ho its mustang sally is a Dodge Ram okay yeah yeah yeah Dodge ram that'll be fine or whatever else I can find

21:25 So I'm very excited for the little pink pill tour. Actually, we got a nice signage offer from producer Alex and my brother and I started listening a few months ago heard about your Airstream decal would like to see if we could donate that We have a chain of laundromats lovelaundry.com just put that on the side Just give me a love laundry The Love Laundry Airstream I think thats better than Little Pink Pill Tour The Love Laundry Tour Love laundry, love laundry and everything else. We would love to have our dedicated sign makers make you perfect signage. This is probably a decal sticker vinyl I'm not sure what I need. Well you need something that says noagendashow.com and it should be just that should be a standalone it goes across the back

22:21 Oh yeah, just a stand. Well you know what I always liked the bumper stickers Eric had which was Wake up in the morning? Yeah, Joe didn't know agenda show calm. I always like that That was a nice sticker effect that it's still on my daughter Jay pass it on her suitcase and she has a clear one mm-hmm It looks dynamite. Yeah, it's one of the better stickers and slogans to wake up in the morning. I like it It has so many too much meaning But I think we should call it the... what was the name of that company again? Love. The love laundry tour. That's the name. Touring laundromats from coast to coast Hey man, can you do my underwear? Anyway Is this like a roaming laundry? Wow! That's cool And so i've looked at uh You know, I want to tour the parks mainly

CHAPTER 10 / 54 Discussion

Mobile Internet Connectivity, Verizon LTE vs Satellite

Technical preparations for the Airstream tour involve choosing Verizon LTE coverage over satellite options for internet connectivity. The setup will include a Yagi antenna and booster box to ensure the ability to prep the show and watch C-SPAN while traveling through state and national parks.

verizon· lte· yagi antenna· mobile internet· airstream

23:11 And... We got plenty. Yes, we do and I looked at every... There's a state... The funny thing is there are different levels of parks. The state parks depending on the state but most of the state parks are dynamite and they're pretty well equipped for trailers so state parks then you have your national parks which are stunners but they're very expensive. Well Yellowstone is the park that I wanna go to first. Yeah, you'd enjoy it? So here's what I've discovered. I've looked at all of the options satellite options You know what no way! Satellite is not gonna work for us Verizon has such incredible coverage and I'm a T-Mobile user for my regular stuff, but such an incredible reach. You can buy these booster boxes and they boost... Femtocells? What are they called? Femtocells? I don't know maybe that's what it is well you purchase it with a Yagi antenna

24:03 Which gives you incredible gain and you can it will do the LTE and again? It can boost up to like 50 miles or something. Why don't you get right at OTA a Receiver while you're at it is there not that what's that what's an OTA receiver over-the-air it takes your regular seal year into dude drive into That's what I'm talking about That's what you get you did oh, but he says Verizon What's the point of that if you just get OTA no You mean for anyone you mean What is OTA? I don't understand what you're saying. Over the air, it's just like old-fashioned television. You have your UHF antenna... John this is for the show! This is for internet connectivity. Oh for the show?! I thought you were talking about television. No! Oh yeah, I need to watch a lot of television. Well see that made no sense to me because if you're going to talk about satellite... Nooo! Oh I'm sorry. ...I thought that would only be for television cause you can't use that for anything else. Internet, no internet.

24:59 So yeah, you're doing the right thing. Yeah And it should be at least enough to do prep for the show and watch c-span But if we're having issues I can always just you know drag the thing down to some Wi-Fi closer by whatever so I'm happy I'm very excited This is what you've always wanted me to do yeah, you shouldn't you shouldn't be very excited? I'm thrilled He's great. This guy is floating around. The love laundry tour! Love laundry tour with a... How about just I heart laundry? And by the way, that would really confuse him what?! I guess the guy is some laundry mogul guy. What does this guy do he's a laundry mogul that's what you can tell

25:47 Oh man. Yeah, it's gonna be a great fall but I have to get moving on this! I gotta do this in September. I don't want to be stuck in snow and crap No no no no no no no no no You wanna get out there and do meetups People would love to see you Are you going to show up at one of them? Oh absolutely Ah yeah sure okay That'll happen I'll be there You can count on it Alright good. What would you other than this small chit-chat to discuss? Yeah, I think we got some other things I've got tons of stuff really I have a lot of stuff Let's start with that just start with your since you're talking about Texas John about Rick Perry let's talk about Ted Cruz Ted Cruz Okay So I have a double clip hit a double shot double shot of cruise so cruises and this is Cruise in 2015

CHAPTER 11 / 54 Discussion

Ted Cruz, Birthright Citizenship and 14th Amendment

The discussion focuses on Senator Ted Cruz's shifting stance on birthright citizenship. Clips from 2011 and 2015 show Cruz moving from defending the 14th Amendment as a Supreme Court litigator to supporting Donald Trump's call to end automatic citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.

ted cruz· 14th amendment· birthright citizenship· immigration· donald trump

26:38 Would you support a change in the 14th amendment if necessary to achieve that? Absolutely. We should end granting automatic birthright citizenship to the children of those who are here illegally Look, I would note that has been my position from my very first days running for the Senate. I was advocating for this back in 2011 and so I welcome Donald Trump articulating this view it's a view I have long held Okay, and well let's listen to him in 2011 the 14th amendment provides for birthright citizenship I've looked at the legal arguments against it. And I will tell you as a Supreme Court litigator those arguments are not very good As much as someone may dislike the policy of birthright citizenship It's in the US Constitution I think it's a mistake for conservatives to be focusing on trying to fight what the constitution says on birthright citizenship

27:36 Lies, I tell you. He's a liar! I stole those two clips from MSNBC were out to get him. Well they're right and this is for Cruz who was very successful accomplished litigator Is he even a constitutional lawyer? I guess he is well What is it? I mean I've read many opinions about this 14th amendment about the anchor baby stuff and To me It seems like So here's how it would work, and I know quite a bit about the immigration process having done it twice.

28:14 Uh, the only way that would work is if your child then... when the child is 21, the child can say hey I want to be an American citizen. I can have an American passport then they could go through the process of us but it's not sponsoring petitioning for uh the parents and any other direct family members to become resident aliens yeah so that's not really a super effective way of doing it No well from your experience apparently not Oh, but it was the last time which is horrible and expensive. Yeah I don't know that's really if you believe that it creates the chain and gives some form of rights yeah only after the child is 21 and chooses the American citizenship And I think Christina actually has dual citizenship because of her mom

29:09 Even though she was born in the US, had an American passport from almost day one. The US had no problem letting her have dual citizenship because their mother's Dutch. I can't- It used to be illegal years and years ago when I was a kid you couldn't be a dual citizen Me too! They said oh Mr. Curry if you want to have dual citizenship then you can just have the dutch citizenship You clearly are doing this for tax reasons or some other bullcrap like that And so you would not be allowed back in Well if your going to be on that tip Let me see, I have... Well, since you mentioned Anchor Baby I do have a couple clips that I want to play. Okay. I want to play this one which is the Anchor Baby 1 clip because... and I will explain why this clip was important to me Do we need to give little context and background for some of our European listeners? Does everyone understand what's going on with this or...? I think it's kind of explained in here. Anchor Baby is a term that Trump likes to use but apparently, uh... It's so politically incorrect!

CHAPTER 12 / 54 Discussion

Anchor Baby Terminology, Jeb Bush and Media Framing

The media's focus on the term "anchor baby" is analyzed, specifically how ABC and CBS framed Jeb Bush's use of the phrase. Despite Bush previously advising Republicans to avoid offensive language, he defended the term, leading to a scripted response from Hillary Clinton on Twitter.

jeb bush· anchor baby· major garrett· cbs· abc news

30:12 There's a couple of points I want to make after this clip. You don't regret it? No, do you have a better term? I'm asking you. You give me a better term and i'll use it That echoed Trumps language the day before. You mean its not politically correct and yet everybody uses it? So you know what give me a different term, give me a different term What else would you like to say Bush has a history with this phrase. In 2013, he helped launch a group called the Hispanic Leadership Network and instructed Republicans to avoid language offensive to Latino voters. Charlie had read in part quote don't use the term anchor baby major Garrett in Washington before you get into your deconstruction John I think I have a clip that adds value to this in between your two clips if you say so but go on yeah play that because then it may actually

31:02 further emphasize my problem. Well this, this is ABC... This is the guy and I think the clip actually starts off with a repeat of the ABC reporter Tom Lamas. You're gonna ruin my point. Okay then go ahead I'll let you go All right I heard this clip The first time I heard it was Major Garrett and he's always dogging Trump And I heard this clip to say that Trump had earlier denounced the term anchor baby. Ah, you said mm-hmm. Mm-hmm I'm just saying I've heard the same report and not saying I heard the same thing Well this is the joke of it It's not Trump And when I first when I heard this and I went got my second clip I'm thinking to myself well This is interesting because this contradicts that the report that I just heard on ABC Oh, I'm sorry there was one am I looking at here? The second one is a BC. Yeah Okay

32:02 What's the first one? The first one was CBS. Yeah, that's where Major Garrett works so I said this is funny major Garrett's full of crap because the CBS report clearly says something different and you can play that This is the ABC report. I'm sorry the ABC well as you see how easy...I got confused! I'm sorry! Both candidates today facing questions about why they use the term anchor babies to describe American born children of undocumented immigrants. The implication, parents have the children to anchor themselves in the US so they're not deported. Are you aware that the term anchored baby? That's an offensive term people find that hurtful. You mean it's not politically correct and yet everybody uses it just two years ago Bush chaired a Hispanic outreach group that sent a memo to Capitol Hill suggesting conservatives don't use the term

32:49 baby, but now he's defending it. Hillary Clinton later offering up suggestions on Twitter tweeting how about babies children or American citizens? She is clearly seizing the Republican battle which if Donald Trump has his way won't end anytime soon. All right. Well, we may or may not have come to the same conclusion but when I went back to get the Major Garrett clip for the show today it was clear that he said Bush not Trump Right But the way they presented it at first they had a little bush then they would longer Trump Trump Trump Trump and then he did a switch on me and put in my mind that it was Trump that's being contradictory

CHAPTER 13 / 54 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Scripting, Dictionary Definitions of Anchor Baby

The "anchor baby" controversy is characterized as a media script designed to provide Hillary Clinton with favorable talking points. Observations are made regarding NBC and other networks suddenly presenting the term as "offensive" or "derogatory" in on-screen dictionary graphics without citing specific sources like Merriam-Webster.

hillary clinton· abc news· dictionary· linguistics· political correctness

33:38 but it's not. Well, I'll play my clip which has pieces of what we just heard in yours and to me something else became very apparent particularly because of the veracity of this ABC guy now we know ABC is corrupt We know they're all in with the White House. We know they're certainly all-in with the Clintons George Step of Hubernopolis is all in with the Clintons. He works for him, yes he's an operative Are you aware that the term anchor baby? That's an offensive term people find that hurtful You mean it's not politically correct and yet everybody uses it So that's...that's the first version The first time they did it It's a script John check it out Now both Trump and Bush are facing tough questions

34:18 about the term anchor babies. You are right, Bush started this guy asked Trump about it and now all of a sudden they're both using the term and here's the rest of the script used to describe American born children of undocumented immigrants implying parents have children to anchor themselves in the US so they're not deported. I don't regret it. No do you have a better term? I'm not, I'm asking you. You give me a better term. Right so there's the Bush version and it is really about what Hillary did in return which completes the whole script. I'll use it, I'm serious. Go for it, go for it! Don't yell at me behind my ear though But just two years ago Bush co-chaired an Hispanic outreach group that sent a memo to Capitol Hill suggesting conservatives shouldn't use the term anchor baby

35:03 Hillary Clinton later offering up suggestions on Twitter, tweeting how about babies children or American citizens. There you go it's just a script to give her some good fodder Give her something other than the negative stuff she is getting slammed with that. Exactly They showed there are two other things one they showed a copy on the one report but second one I played which was Anchor Baby Debate? Yeah the ABC one Yeah, they actually showed from that old Bush memo and it had all kinds of things. Because you could read it on the screen... It said do not use illegal aliens! Do not use... That's what is said!

35:45 Do not use illegal immigrants. That's fantastic! It had all this stuff in there, I want to get a copy of that thing because it was just a joke. I love it And then worse which is...I don't have a clip from because it was a visual again NBC when they did this story and they didn't and of course we're doing three networks for three weeks Oh 3-in-3 everybody yes When NBC did it they flew they did the fly-in of supposedly the dictionary definition of anchor bait. Oh, does it say it's a derogatory term? Let me guess worse first to come I don't know what they wait xenophobic maybe now now it wasn't that bad but wherever they I don't know where this came from because they never decided didn't say Miriam Webster didn't say anything I think this is I want to find out I took a photo we looked at and we looked at it and it said nothing derisive or not trying

36:33 This came up in the following way, boom. It said Anchor Baby and it was in Franklin Gothic and right under it in italics it said... offensive. I haven't found that, I've never seen it and then when the beginning of the definition was a derogatory term meaning so this is bullcrap they just made this up yeah that i think what i think that's clear if this has made up to make give Hillary an opportunity to call anchor babies children or human beings It would have been funnier she said human resources then I would have believed her Trump did his big rally in Alabama. Yeah, and this is how cool this guy is He circled the stadium twice it with the 757 fly by And then on C-SPAN One of our producers caught this This is a c-span coverage before he's in and you see your shot at the stadium and then you hear this Hold on for some reason its mono I mean let me

CHAPTER 14 / 54 Discussion

Donald Trump Alabama Rally, Media Coverage Tactics

Donald Trump's large-scale rally in Alabama featured a Boeing 757 flyover. The segment critiques how networks like MSNBC and CNN cut away from the speech after 20 minutes, and highlights Paul Begala's comments on "the Trumpification of the Republican Party" and his use of the word "croak" regarding Trump's candidacy.

donald trump· alabama· c-span· msnbc· paul begala

37:37 It's only one channel. Hold on a second, why is that? That's strange." One of my favorite observations and one of the very extreme—well not extreme just normal liberal left-wing blogs was gloating over CNN and MSNBC cut Trump speech off after 20 minutes I think they gave him 20 minutes? Yeah. Hold on, I think i have it now let me just see MSNBC is all... Oh there we go here we go Time to Trump than anyone Opening of the Trump Tour Here We Go! TRUMP! Love that That's funny Especially since Van Halen could use all the goodness they can get right now

38:39 Man, David Lee Rothman. I'm sorry, I like the guy but he has no business singing anymore Anyway so then we have this uh... This is on Anderson Pooper 360 Anderson Pooper 360 He's talking to a Demitwot operative Paul What's his name? Baglia. Oh, that guy is the worst! Well he said something pretty outrageous at the end of this little clip. Do you agree with that? That this is sort of appealing to what used to be called Reagan Democrats? No I love that by the way. Angry white men, formerly known as angry white men now known as Republicans

39:29 This is the Trumpification of the Republican Party. I'm always amused, and Amanda's not doing it because she's too smart but I have Republican friends who look me in the eye with a straight face and say well Trump doesn't represent the Republicans Well wait he's the Republican candidate who is leading among Republicans in the Republican polls He IS the Republican party! He defines it now...I'm just curious because I don't think he's going to make all away I don't think he's gonna be the nominee as I've said God is good to me but no that good What's gonna croak him? What's going to croak him? Yeah, you know this is funny because I knew that. I had this clip Mm-hmm But I never clipped it because I don't know where I lost it somewhere but yeah what's going to croaking? Really croak as in kill I guess What does it mean to you yeah? What's gonna croak him oh

40:18 Well, I think what he means is in the general sense as a candidate. Yeah maybe... What's going to kill this candidacy? But if you said that about anybody else it would be an outrage. Oh if you said that about Hillary or anybody like that people would go up in arms nobody gave a crap because this guy's just another schmuck and wind Now I have to say I was very impressed for once by The Morning Joe Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Maybe her dad went something like, you must start to sound a little less

CHAPTER 15 / 54 Discussion

Huffington Post, Donald Trump Entertainment Section Policy

Mika Brzezinski of Morning Joe confronts Huffington Post editor Ryan Grim over the site's decision to cover Donald Trump in the entertainment section rather than politics. The critique points out the inconsistency in this policy by citing the site's past political coverage of celebrities like Al Franken and Ashley Judd.

huffington post· mika brzezinski· ryan grim· al franken· ashley judd

41:00 You have to put them down a little bit about the Trump. John Maass It's funny, him and Soros sound the same. Adam Bachman They are the same guy. Have you ever seen them in a picture at the same time? No. John Maass Yeah, it hasn't happened. Adam Bachman So The Huffington Post continues to only put Donald Trump news in the entertainment section. And I find this... John Maass That's subjective. Adam Bachman This is…I find this to be interesting and important. The Huffington Post has influence there's no doubt has influence, but they have sworn and I believe the Washington Post maybe online. There's like some other guy from the Washington Post who is also on board with this but the Huffington Post

41:40 Why does that have to be called post anyway? Where does this come from, Post? Post? Yeah. Post! Yeah it's an old news name for a newspaper. Okay well hello Huffington Post 1720 calling we want our post back What else are you gonna call it So Mika took the uh this douchebag kid I forget his name who is all riled up, he's totally jacked about how righteous he is and Trump is just a distraction. And she actually does something really cool at the end and she calls him out with several examples as to how they're full of shit!

42:19 We need to talk about this because I think you guys have made a mistake Yeah, so I mean nobody can deny that Donald Trump is partly where he is in the polls because of the media coverage Do you hear this guy already? I hate him And this is it's the political editor. I think of The Huffington Post and our big statement Is that are big statement because you know we're the media all we have a big statements with a statement statement Trump is not as serious candidate He's an entertainer do that You were new like of you you along Along with the Huffington Post, Washington bureau chief is Ryan Grim. You wrote this month or last month explaining your decision not to cover the campaign of Donald Trump as part of your political coverage and that's what you said. You said Trump's campaign is a sideshow we won't take debate

43:05 If you're interested in what the Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette. Is it okay for a news organization reporting news? Reporting on facts is it okay for them to make big statements like this John? Is that okay? Yeah! It is?! Yeah they do whatever they want... Is that journalism? Is it journalistic? I think it's ethically sketchy and i think people are thinking you'd be condemned for but that's not the case. Well here's the rest, Mika Wolff explains... Except Danny he's in first place by a mile in Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina Republican establishment members are now starting to say this guy may be the nominee

43:46 Yeah and Bernie Sanders may or may not be in first place in New Hampshire but Mika has to go to C-SPAN to watch coverage of him. Because of Donald Trump's celebrity he is getting this perpetuating nonstop wall to wall coverage that no different honestly than when CNN went wall to wall on Malaysia. He says it's no different that when CNN went wall to wall on the Malaysia airline crash How about when CNN and the rest of them went wall to wall on Obama? Thank you! But hold on, following logic let's say there was like a former comedian and performer for Saturday Night Live who never held political office who is running for the Senate. HuffPost would cover that as entertainment right? Sure, how about Al Franken? Whoops he says sure! How about Al Franken? Oh... Senate run on politics in 2008. I mean you can't it is what

44:28 I'm sorry. No, how about an A-list Hollywood actress who had never went for office who was considering a Senate campaign? You've covered that not in your entertainment pages right? How about Ashley Judd on HuffPost Politics in 2014? Well she's a woman and a Democrat! And how about a businessman and pizza mogul who had the 999 plan has never run for president and was known for some great quotes that surely would be entertainment right? Right?! Right and this guy is a douche knuckle. He walked off the show, not this show but he walked off that set you know like a year ago

45:05 And he's just, you know these this shows you what's wrong with your press. Yeah and I think Huffington Post now qualifies as mainstream media all they seem to do is copy mainstream media Oh no they've always but they steal a lot of stuff too that it's not really uh i don't know how people can quote it or point to it or anything it's just that it's a joke yeah Well, you think that's the only joke? And I think this really proves it. These guys are trying to be kingmakers or something...I have no idea what they're thinking but... Let me see here....well here is another one of those douches

CHAPTER 16 / 54 Discussion

Jeremy Peters, Hillary Clinton Email Legality

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters is criticized for his framing of the Hillary Clinton email scandal. The discussion suggests his reporting serves as a distraction from the Clinton Foundation's finances and notes his refusal to use the word "illegal" when describing her use of a private server, opting instead for "impermissible."

jeremy peters· new york times· hillary clinton· emails· clinton foundation

45:42 This is Jeremy Peters. I think this is the kid who initially reported on the Hillary emails in a very, very sly kind of way we deconstructed all that how we believe that he jumped into help distract from the Clinton Foundation and had some wishy-washy stuff about the emails, but it really turned out to be a good distraction because no one's really talking about that anymore. About the hundreds of millions of dollars coming into The Clinton Foundation and he was on... It worked? Yeah! Oh yeah! Maybe... His name is Jeremy Peters New York Times And now they're hounding him about The New York Times as far as I can tell not actually reporting that what she did is illegal

46:27 What she did is illegal. And listen to this guy who's just, you know he's just not going to condemn his favorite person She did not do it properly It was an impermissible use Right and there were questions from the very beginning about whether or not this was I'm just asking you The federal judge You see he says its impermissible Impermissible but okay fine He says that sure I'm not arguing whether or not it was permissible or impermissible All I am trying to figure out what Donnie was saying, which is... Okay how does this affect her politically? It seems like it would hurt you to say that yes the federal judge who works day in and day out. Who follows the law and reads the law it's his job to interpret the law says that he impermissibly used email And I'm just trying to figure out Is this fine if he's saying that he's wrong can you not just say... Because your saying well I don't know! Its a question of how it affects the populace

47:24 I'm not going to indict Hillary Clinton. Yeah, why bother? Why bother at all. Obviously looking for a job when she has her you know hopefully she gets president and then he gets a job as a press secretary. A spokesman exactly! I had this happen to me when i was writing op-eds of the chronicle. I ran ahead of...a guy who was the editor for very short time You want out him or...? He..I can't remember his name 20 years ago 30 years ago

CHAPTER 17 / 54 Discussion

FBI Investigation, Potential Criminal Liability for Clinton Aides

Legal experts and commentators discuss the FBI's expanding investigation into Hillary Clinton's server, focusing on 18 USC 2071 regarding the concealment or destruction of records. Speculation arises that aides such as Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, or Jacob Sullivan may face criminal liability or be "thrown under the bus" to protect Clinton.

fbi· huma abedin· cheryl mills· obstruction of justice· sean hannity

48:05 And he, I do remember him hating my material because I was actually writing slightly conservative. He's a Republican! And he ended up being, went to work for Feinstein. It just... Oh of course! Went right from the newspaper right to Feinstein Of course But I have a Sean Hannity who's the opposite of this character from The New York Times you just cited and he's citing one of these three laws that she may or may not have violated probably has and then there's a little she then Guilfoyle who used to be a prosecutor and

48:51 You've got 18 USC 2071. Let me stay on that third one for just a second here, whoever having the custody of any such record proceeding map book document paper or any other thing willfully and unlawfully conceals removes mutilates obliterates falsifies or destroys the same shall be fined under this title or in prison not more than three years or both and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office of the United States. What's interesting about that is you add a whole other element to those three laws which is if she consciously erased them and the FBI retrieves them, that is now obstruction of justice. Correct. So she's looking at penalties and fines there? That's when people say oh they're not going to get her. You'd be surprised

49:36 And then what's going to happen is they're going to try and turn someone within her inner circle, and there are people that are vulnerable. They're also looking at potential criminal liability for any kind of part they might have played with obstruction of justice or deletion of emails or this property." And that's Uma Abedin and Cheryl Mills as well. So you can be certain if it's Clinton style they'll look for someone take the fall. Yeah, you nailed it John, and you nailed this on Thursday as well when I went looking and searching for more condemnation of the AIDS. And I have two quickies here. This is just using that word first, the AIDS, oh the AIDS could be doing it all. The other side, the Democrats you've got Bernie Sanders filling stadiums as well 28 thousand people are expecting and the email controversy where is it now?

50:20 getting worse by the day for Hillary Clinton and as much for her as for some of the aides around here at the State Department. The FBI investigation is getting more serious every single day, there's more signs that there were emails that were classified either marked classified or should have been marked classified that we're sent to her nobody thinks she sent them yet but they were sent to her and ended up on that home server of hers law. And so the FBI now they're not just investigating the server itself, but how these messages got to her did her aides paraphrase top secret things and send those things to her server? Again it's everything about this way they've handled it this week clumsy defensive invasive and actual seriousness of the investigation gets a little bit more serious every single day and we're worrying for politically a little more serious everyday worrying politically that is CBS who are all in together

51:13 Here is the same. I would agree by the way, I've been again three networks 333 times three everybody CBS is Using the bad photos of Trump as portrayed in a newsletter Innuendo and a bunch of stuff they are definitely not on Hillary's side And they are now giving a choice of which aid we're going to before Throw under the proverbial autoboost.

CHAPTER 18 / 54 Discussion

Jacob Sullivan and Cheryl Mills, State Department Targets

The media's focus on specific State Department aides, Jacob Sullivan and Cheryl Mills, is analyzed as a sign they are being positioned as fall guys for the email scandal. Sullivan's background as a Yalie and his roles under Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton are reviewed to assess his dispensability in the current political climate.

jacob sullivan· cheryl mills· state department· benghazi· libya

51:55 The first email from April 2011 was forwarded to Clinton by aid Huma Abedin. It cited intelligence reports from the US Africa Command on Libyan troop strength and movements The second, forwarded by aide Jacob Sullivan outlined reports of possible arrests in connection with the Benghazi attack. The concern in the intelligence community is that classified emails on a private server could be more easily hacked or compromised." So they do two things here one is they give a clear choice but did you catch and I'm not sure why But the way they said it, well there were...the way the lady read the script was two emails. One sent by a Huma Abedin and one sent by A Jacob Sullivan I actually thought that his name was A Jacob Sullivan

52:42 But for some reason they decided to present them. That's interesting, it's almost like they're... Now you have to play it again! You know what I'm saying right? It's like... You should tell me this in advance. I'm sorry. Is she saying aid? Yeah, both of them. Oh okay. So they're emphasizing the word aid Okay well that's actually even better when you think about it yeah they're setting somebody up and there was that third one Mills oh who's Mills whose mill That was the one in the other report right when Guilfoyle went on about who's susceptible to being Well guess who its not gonna be

53:33 It's not gonna be girlfriend Uma Abedin. She is not... I wouldn't think so, so it's either going to be Mills Cheryl or this guy. It'll be the guy. Well that's Joseph... Yeah, they're gonna throw anyone under the bus who's going to be a man. And I think I looked at his...he has a wiki page on it in second. He does? Yeah and I think he is very dispensable. If I had a wiki page, I'd have a lawyer. Well he is gonna have an obituary. Let's see, born in 1976 American policymaker and top foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton 2016 election campaign

54:15 What do you see? He's a senior advisor to the US government for the Iran nuclear negotiations. Hmm, so they'll take him out with that bad deal. This guy is... listen to this prior to teaching at Yale he was a Yalie, so you know what that means. Yeah Illuminati Sullivan was deputy assistant to the US President Barack Obama, national security advisor to Joe Biden as VP. Also served at the director of policy planning at the U S Department of State and his deputy chief of staff to us Secretary of state Hillary... He served when she was a secretary of state." I think this guy's that he's toast. I think you might be right because especially if he was Chief of Staff, was he Chief of Staff?

55:07 No, I don't think he was chief of staff. What was she...what was he doing for her when she was secretary of state? You said something. Hold on. That's right at the end. Director of policy planning and as deputy chief of staff. Okay well that's there is a plus who is chief of staff I wonder because that's another guy they could go after or woman. Let's see Chief of Staff Clinton Secretary. But that's the person I try to flip Why would it have to be Cheryl Mills? There you go! Real-time. Amen, fist bump. Real time analysis everybody doesn't get much better than that does it? How hard can it be?!

CHAPTER 19 / 54 Discussion

Jon Stewart, Presidential Debate Moderator Petition

A petition with over 140,000 signatures calls for Jon Stewart to moderate a 2016 presidential debate. The hosts argue that while Stewart is a talented scripted performer, the role of a debate moderator is fundamentally different from his work on The Daily Show, though it would be a "ratings bonanza."

jon stewart· presidential debates· petition· daily show· media

55:50 Well, and then finally CBS is... Those are the two targets that will have to get out of this. So it's going to be between Cheryl Mills and Jacob Sullivan? They'll be pointing fingers at each other And you think Cheryl will be the one to go because she's a woman? No I think it'd be the guy they're gonna get rid of the man She said loyalist to women Right right course I mean, let's get real. And then this from CBS... Time reports on a growing effort to let Jon Stewart host a presidential debate His fans launched a petition shortly after Stewart left the Daily Show They want the Commission on Presidential Debates to consider letting Steward moderate a debate The petition has more than 140 thousand signatures 1,000? 140,000?! So really...?

56:34 I've known Jon Stewart a long time, but he's very good at written pre-scripted gags. They'd really have to script quite a lot for him to do a good job on... and as a television personality And being a debate moderator is not the same as being the news debunker and making, you know, cracking jokes. It's just not the same. However... Howard Baetjer Now here's the other problem. John Maxwell However for the show known as The Presidential Elections it makes a lot of sense I mean is a ratings bonanza! Howard Baetjer They could save him for that if they're gonna use them at all but in the meantime he's not getting on because everybody's scrambling everyone wants to do this

CHAPTER 20 / 54 Discussion

Roger Stone, Donald Trump Operative Theory

Roger Stone's frequent media appearances following his departure from the Trump campaign are viewed as a strategic operative move. Stone's comments on a potential Biden-Warren ticket and his continued praise for Trump suggest he may still be working in Trump's interest despite the public "firing."

roger stone· donald trump· joe biden· elizabeth warren· cnn

57:15 Because it's good for their, you know... You work at CNN and you're gonna bring somebody in from the outside when I can do it? Yeah. Oh they'll be angry yeah. Yeah he's just going to create nothing but ill will in the company. Final clip we have two actually but this is so Trump says he fired his policy advisor Roger Stone. That was a while ago. A couple weeks back and Stone has been on just about every channel. You've probably seen him on your 3x3 And he, I think...I have a feeling that he is just a Trump operative. A spy! Yeah all he does is go out and great Trump. Well we don't know why Joe Biden met with Elizabeth Warren but a lot of people were pushing her to run for president Do you think it looks more likely that he's going to jump in? Well my Democratic friends reflected an increasing lack of ease with Hillary Clinton My Democratic friends uh huh Her unfavorables are climbing She's mired in this email scandal

58:14 she's on defense, she is explaining and when you're explaining in politics you are losing. On the other hand Vice President Biden I think appeals to the same kind of establishment Democrats that Hillary Clinton does and the weakness of Hillary Clinton appears to be to her left this is why Bernie Sanders is doing so well. This I think explains why the vice president is meeting with Elizabeth Warren on paper at least is the ideal candidate to knock off both. She would co-op Sanders and she could very easily beat Hillary Clinton. So you're talking about a potential Biden Warren ticket? Well before I decided what i want to do if I were Joe Biden, I want to know what's on Elizabeth Warren's mind because she is potentially a stronger candidate than the sitting vice president look Joe

58:57 Joe Biden has been an effective vice president, but as a presidential candidate he dropped out of the last caucuses after getting 1%. So this Stone guy seems like he's just an operative. Somebody asked Trump the question you know ever since you fired Stone uh... He's been doing nothing but singing your praises and that's on CNN! And Trump's response was I should have fired him sooner. Wow we need that clip That makes sense Hey, Ben. I'm going to fire you and then you're gonna go and chill for me." Yeah we'll just give you a paycheck later or during if you want it to... You know whenever so here's McLaughlin group predictions Oh no! McLaughlin Group which of course is the most scripted show ever Pat? The odds have moved to about 50-50 John that Hillary Rodham Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee

Google Search Manipulation, Political Vote Swinging

A Politico report suggests that manipulating Google search result rankings can swing voter preferences by up to 25%. The discussion notes the high number of former Google employees working in the Obama administration, including the Chief Technology Officer, as a potential conflict regarding information control.

google· seo· politico· election rigging· white house

59:47 Hillary Clinton is still the odds-on favorite to be the nominee. It's very hard for anybody else to get in there, but I really want to salute the two women who got through The Ranger School big moment for women. Big moment for women! Okay? I think the biggest moment for women in the last couple weeks has been the play by play announcer for The Oakland Raiders as a woman now And she's good. Yeah, I would not have known anything about this. Of course not. Final piece of...this is something Politico did a test now—I haven't looked into all of their methodology but they did a test with two…they also had a control group that was two couple groups and based on the results or the result rankings of a Google search

1:00:43 which they emulated by using real search results and real websites that these links led to, they state that just by rearranging the order of answers of political questions in Google — which Google wouldn't even have to do. I mean SEO can take care of that to some degree — that the vote can swing as much as 25%. Yeah, I saw this too. What do you think? I think it's true! I think Google could rig the election But you can also rig Google It doesn't just have to be... How many people are working at the White House right now? Lots in the State Department Including the chief technology officer of these United States is a Google woman She is a Googler A Googler

1:01:43 That is another huge unintended consequence of technology. And we know SEO people who can do amazing things. Yeah, but it's like a movie... Only the ones that are full-time can do amazing things because it's such a moving target. Google keeps changing its algorithms ever so subtly. Sure sure sure But still I mean we try to do SEO with our titles you know. We don't do any SEO! We come up with a title and then pray, it's the spray-and-pray methodology no no no no we don't do any SEO but

Executive Producers, McDonald's Lobster Roll Critique

The show acknowledges top donors and executive producers, noting a rare "three double donor" occurrence. A donor's note from Connecticut sparks a critique of McDonald's new lobster rolls in New England, which the hosts suspect contain more pollock or "fake meat" than actual lobster.

1:04:09 Yeah, it's probably beneath you. Hey I had a funny situation this show Really? Funny am i gonna be laugh hilariously funny funny funny So we had three uh Eric put in the note he says two people have donated twice for this show, and both becoming executive producers in the process. And that would be Paolo Tosciani in Twickenham and Sir Otaku in Louisville Texas. But the joke of it was

1:04:47 Two checks from Craig...is it Cavell? Yeah, Cavell. From Auburn, Pennsylvania came into...I just added them together and made it 246 but so we actually...now I'm gonna ask you how often have we had three double donors that were gonna go with the... Dr. Kahney. I don't think we've had at all ever. I don't think so either. Three double donors, it's a three double donor show! It's a three double donor show? Three the magic number and... That's right. In the morning! Proof of the random number theory. That's right. Three double donors everybody This is why when a celebrity dies everybody knows two more are gonna drop There was a whole 30 rock about this

1:05:33 Anyway, well we all know it's true. We don't need to qualify it any other way. Well there you have it Chris Eisbach in Cheshire Connecticut is our top executive producer and he came in at $375 just Cheshire Connecticut Just wanted to send this donation on your 3 slash 4 millennial show To thank you for your help and keeping us all sane I was listening to show 748's discussion of McRibs native advertising and it reminded me of MacDee's latest atrocity. They now serve lobster rolls here in New England. God, they have mac and cheese-ified lobster. Yeah this is a gourmet dish the... what is it? Truelux here in Austin does that as well. I find it abhorrent

1:06:24 You can't beat a regular lobster, real one. A lobster tail just dipped in butter They will do anything to make us slaves feel like we are living it up while they're taking us down Includes no actual lobster meat Is that right? Yeah It's usually crab McDonald's lobster mac and cheese lobster has no lobster Oh I don't know that for a fact but typically its crab Or that Pollock fish that they make into a fake. That tilapia?

Donation Etiquette, The $100 Make-Good Campaign

A discussion on donation etiquette arises after a listener attempted to attach demands to a $100 contribution. After the hosts rejected the conditional donation, a "make-good" campaign in the newsletter resulted in numerous other listeners sending $100 to offset the loss, demonstrating the show's value-for-value model.

donations· newsletter· etiquette· make-good· karma

1:07:16 Please give me some karma along with the Hillary and what difference at this point, what difference does it make? And a little girl yay. What difference at this point doesn't make? You've got karma. Thank you very much, Chris! I'm shocked to hear that producers are making demands for donations. I'll tell you, I'm just shocked." Here's a little something to keep you with my $100. Do you want to explain what that is? I wrote a newsletter because some guy...it just hit me the wrong way because I noticed this over the years that we've been getting these sorts of things and it used to be worse actually. This guy comes in he says if you play this clip on there and then don't laugh or else

1:08:16 And so I thought that was just like too much of a demand. And we actually watched it, it's unwatchable and didn't have the right kind of content for the show. So I said, no, we're not doing it keep your $100. But then I started thinking about it, before other people make demands in the early days we had some joker who I'm sure is now listening because he probably gave up on this show because he was an A-hole And he said, if you guys stop begging for money I'll donate. Yeah oh thanks sure yeah that's how it works. Yeah that's how it works right now. He copied both of us. How stupid do you think we are? He copied us both on that email and I had the same response but you actually replied quite nicely saying uh you know what keep your hundred dollars. We don't want to do that

1:08:59 Well, it was yeah for different reasons and one of they didn't fit in the show so I decided to make a theme of the newsletter. I said and I put $100 make good donations or anyone who wanted we got a Dozen or two people that came in with 100 dollars to makeup for the lost hundred dollars Turned out to be 50 because he came back with another note We went back and forth and saying you know give me fifty just for interest although I haven't seen it I could be wrong. Sir... Wait, wait he wanted something here didn't he? Yeah okay read his note yeah He says shock shock shocked! He wants a please i want to jingle but ever since i set the Obama mariachi jingle as my ringtone and the lgy for my message notification that's pretty good. That sounds good. I feel like got a little piece of this show with me always

1:09:51 He's got the great analysis. Well, I keep propagating the formula to everyone I come across in the DFW area. K5VZ. Hey! Kilo 5 Victor Zulu 7 3s from the Kilo Fox 5 Sugar Loom of November And that is an older call sign, which means he's been around. Doesn't mean it's a vanity call signs on an older call. I don't know why would have one by two? It's you can get if you are a general and you've got one that says Twitter or something. Yeah, but doesn't mean it's an older callsign just because it's a short one. Well did you actually take the test? Yes. OK, you know what? Hey no

1:10:51 Come on. Yay! You've got karma Yeah, I might have to report you to the FCC Go ahead, go ahead Stooley! Report you for...you know? You didn't even identify yourself in that segment Linton Harry and uh was it Tiwi North Territory Australia uh... territory three hundred dollars i could not find any note from him by all look at the look to look to look they can find anything and tried his really is emails will therefore try that nothing so little if you are hairy if you got something to say let us know how it looks like a bus for him yet makes in this executive producer then associate executive producer justin lee and clinton north carolina again no no no

Listener Feedback, The Burden of Deconstruction

A letter from a listener in Dublin, Ireland, describes the social difficulty of "deconstructing" news after becoming a No Agenda producer. She outlines three options for dealing with friends who believe mainstream narratives: rolling one's eyes, being seen as a crackpot, or remaining silent.

ireland· deconstruction· mainstream media· knowledge· karma

1:11:35 It's completely impossible to find. And Sir Craig Cowell, who sends checks in through one of the banks in Auburn, Pennsylvania also no note 24666 from him those two checks combined. Lynn Sutton in Step Aside really? Is that the name of town? Step Aside? Step aside a Dublin Ireland or it's against a district or something two three four five six Donation from Lynn Sutton using my husband's PayPal account dear John and Adam. My husband Baz Sutton hit me in the mouth at the start of this year And I have been listening within interest ever since I would like my donation to go towards his knighthood having listened to your show I love man

1:12:23 I have one overwhelming observation that i wanted to share. You often speak about the man overboard syndrome that affects some listeners as they bitch about you being too negative. Man overboard! Now, let's share with you a noob perception on this before i started listening to your show life was easy No agenda show ruining lives for eight years. I listened to the news, in fact i worked for a talk based news radio station and i was very content on believing what i heard to be true when i started listening to your show i was amazed at what i was hearing on the news

1:13:06 the so-called truth versus your deconstruction of the stories to show the anomalies or what is being reported against what's really happening. Having this knowledge is actually very difficult as you listen to your friends, family colleagues etc believing in mainstream without questioning anything. Ruining friendships and families for eight years in a row. While I have listened to you guys know that there was more to the story than they have been told this means you face three obstacles Options. One, rolling your eyes at their ignorance. Two, being the crackpot that rants like a lunatic about how they know nothing! And three more likely shutting the hell up option three is the easiest option as it avoids getting into an argument that leads to either one rolling your eyes or two being a crackpot so what am I saying is having this much knowledge

1:14:00 can actually be taxing when compared to believing the mainstream. So I would like to thank you for your courage and say keep up the good work, but i'd also like to say to John read your damn tweets! I highlighted the mac and cheese button weeks ago Can I please have a, I love bugs, amen fist bump the magical shape-shifting Jews and a general karma for everyone. Yes well Lynn...I'm curious what do you think Lynn does? Does she just roll her eyes in their ignorance or does she go for option three where she just shuts up? I believe by reading this note, by deconstructing this note itself, she's slightly argumentative

1:14:37 She does none of those three. She actually chimes in Oh no! Right at the moment with a little jab, A little... Yeah, a little knife point, a little needle point there. Yeah. That's good Well that is very kind of you Lynn Particularly that your doing this for your husband That is true love I heart laundry Tastes like poo. When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them, swap them, raid them... Bomb them, bomb them and bomb them again! Come on everybody! Let's go for the magical shape-shifting juice! Step right this way! Here we go! Roll up with a shape shifting juice The magical shape shifting juice It's an illustration The magical shape shifting juice

No Agenda Morning Zoo, Comedy Compilation

A listener-produced "Morning Zoo" compilation of the show's funniest moments is highlighted. The hosts discuss the value of their "credits" system, noting that being listed as an executive producer on the show has reportedly helped listeners secure employment on LinkedIn.

1:17:55 I forgot who did it for us. Well, we'll find out. That's important. Let me just morning zoo. While you're doing that, I'll explain something. This fellow that Adam Sir cyber sir, cyber, sir, cyber has put together an entire show of This is gonna suck, you know? Because it's always just dumb stuff and it's not really the kind of stuff we... Well, it's all of our comedy bits. It's our comedy stylings! The little bitty comments. And I have to say that when I started listening, figuring out that I was going to listen for five minutes maybe

1:18:43 I'm in about minute 11 and now, actually to my own material this is pathetic. I am laughing out loud! That's your own jokes? This guy has really put together an astonishing compilation of just the funny stuff that we do on the show and it makes me realize that people always compliment us for being humorous We are funny It was funny stuff I mean I've been laughing at myself So we will definitely be using these in the future, and I will do a little teaser and play the first minute or so of the second morning zoo bit from that entire show as one of the close-off show segments. Okay. That'd be nice

1:19:26 And, well we thank these executive producers and associate executive producers profusely. This is how our system works. We don't take any advertising. You can't bribe us for anything. Any product reviews that we do is because we like the product or don't like the product and these credits are Real, just like Hollywood does them.

Liberator Medical, Catheter Advertising on Fox News

An analysis of the show Outnumbered on Fox News focuses on its advertising demographics, specifically a graphic ad for Liberator Medical's catheter sample packs. The hosts discuss the "catheter demo" of traditional television viewers and the bizarre nature of the commercial's presentation.

fox news· outnumbered· liberator medical· catheters· advertising

1:20:12 We go out we hit people in the mouth I'm gonna fix this thing. What's going on? I have an ad and I wanted to play it's only a short shorty Are you getting paid? I wish It grossed me out, and this is the show on Fox Uh-huh called Outnumbered what is the show about okay outnumbered is is a show where there's five women

1:20:50 chatterboxes, but it's not like the view or the real or all these other ones where women are dingbats. They're actually... they at least present themselves as thoughtful so there is this four thoughtful women on their and then there is a bring a man in And to get it outnumbered. Oh, what? This is a complete war on men thing! It's kind of... but that's not what the point of this particular thing I'm discussing is about which is you always know who is watching the show by the ads and by advertising, of course. And I have never seen an ad like this in my life. I have never heard of an ad...this being an ad worthy product

1:21:38 And I was grossed out. Now everyone who uses catheters can get a better catheter with Liberator Medical's free catheter sample pack There is the all new compact catheter for women, the closed system catheter, the polished eyelid catheter, the discreet pocket catheter Call for your free catheter sample pack with free shipping I have an idea. So on the side of the airship, we have iHeart Laundry ask for your free catheter sample pack inside. Hey man! Give me one of those catheters packs man. This is great for smoking doobies. Hey wait a minute you can use a catheter to smoke a doobie?

1:22:22 Have you ever done this? No. But the way this ad ends with a bunch of phone numbers up, get your peck today! They show a guy coming up to knock on the door and some old fart opens it And they hand him a box, so huge. It's like this massive monster box that gives it to this guy I'm going oh my God! I think it's no secret that people who watch regular television are up there in the catheter demo

Female Viagra, SSRI Side Effects and Libido

The approval of Addyi, the "little pink pill" for female sexual dysfunction, is linked to the widespread use of SSRI antidepressants. A producer's personal story illustrates how antidepressants can eliminate sexual desire, creating a secondary market for drugs intended to restore libido.

addyi· ssri· antidepressants· libido· big pharma

1:23:00 The catheter demo that's one show title show catheter demo Yeah Hey, sticking with big pharma for a minute I had producer Daniel sent in a note about the the female Viagra the little pink pill yeah, they'll be and He I think he nailed it He says, Adam let me relate a personal story. As I've mentioned to you previously, I'm currently on medication for a major recurrent depression for about a year and a half now. So these are SSRIs these are the things that... And the side effects besides anal leakage you may want to kill yourself if you have suicidal thoughts call your doctor but they are antidepressants.

1:23:49 Ever since I've been taking my current medication, I've had pretty much zero sexual desire. It's not that things don't function but the thoughts don't even enter my mind and i get no dissatisfaction on release Now that I'm slowly building off my dependence on the medication, which does work," he says. My desire is slowly returning." This cannot be a coincidence with much of America drugged up on something which yes...I wouldn't be surprised if the need for HSDD medication is caused by this. I think he's nailing this! This makes nothing but sense I'm pretty sure that women outnumber men on antidepressants. I have no data to back it up, but just looking at the ads again... It's usually women who are featured in the ads

1:24:34 So it's perfect. We drug you up so that you don't want to have sex and then we give you something to counter-drug you, make you want to have sex. You're almost normal again! Sleep wake sleep wake pill I'll go to sleep take a pill Wake up take a pill Go to sleep take a pill Yeah it's the same thing as the sleep wake sleep wake thing where you're drugged up all the time for all practical purposes. You can't go to sleep because you're high on Benny's and I guess that's a true... Hello 1960 calls! I'm sorry, they said they want their Bennys back. Hey Benny in the jets! A guy wrote in Wayne Roper and he mentioned something it came out earlier in the show and I didn't bring it up tonight but I was annoyed when he says because we haven't actually

1:25:23 I don't think, maybe you did but i don't know. It says great analysis of the Trump coverage. I've noticed that some journalists media personalities are calling Trump the Donald as if to dismiss him as a caricature it's annoying he says yeah I think that's good catch. There is also Teflon Don I haven't seen that one. Oh, but I think... yeah, I've seen this a couple times. But Teflon Don originates from New York from uh was it the uh... Gotti? Huh? John Gotti! John Gotti right they called him the Teflon Don Yeah because he always got off right then so now Good lawyer So it's good It's interesting Yeah something to watch out for is the kind of thing that we just call calmly going on Uh I found another thing Which you've written down on paper

Caitlyn Jenner, I Am Cait Ratings Decline

The decline in ratings for the reality series I Am Cait is attributed to a lack of conflict and an overly "politically correct" approach guided by GLAAD. The hosts argue that reality television audiences seek drama and conflict, which the show has failed to provide despite high-profile production.

caitlyn jenner· e! network· reality tv· ratings· glad

1:26:10 I'm sorry? Oh, you wrote it down on paper because you shuffled your papers and said that you found something. I realized a couple of things one... uhmm... Caitlyn Jenner is annoying. Hello Captain Obvious! Welcome to the show. She is so annoying I watched it in episode four or part, I couldn't watch that. I have watched an episode as well yeah Well here's my little... just listen to her in this Caitlyn Jenner is annoying clip Pick a couple of girls they might not come because its trans price this weekend Umm..I'm just wondering how the heck am ever going to get out of here because I don't want anybody following me certainly to your house but I'm gonna give it a shot

1:26:58 Okay, cool. Till then babe! Cool! Till then... Okay bye! Bye! Woo baby! And I was like, why is this show losing ratings? They had you could not have asked for a better deal with ABC and ESPN owned by ABC with the SPS award. You could not have asked for a better show big ass Hollywood producers on it and then it sucks and why does it suck because the whole show is about

1:27:42 the community, the transgendered community then and how you know how we're affecting the world and other world is affecting us. And now we all have to be in line politically correct Who fucking cares? We want to see your junk slapped between your butt cheeks! We wanna see you putting on your makeup This is...and glad that gay lesbian alliance for anti-defamation They are special consultants on the show. They've tried to, they thought for some reason that these are professional Hollywood producers...they thought that the American public is actually interested in transgender in the process and we'd be all in oh yes it's so great no! No!

1:28:31 No. That's all lip service! I think your premise is wrong too My premise? Yeah, that we want to see as junk Yes that's what gets ratings What gets ratings on these reality shows is conflict Not just morbid curiosity and good wits from my angle There's no conflict on this show Well they're finally doing something They're going to try and boost the ratings I think they are doing the right thing here They're going to have Kris Jenner propose to Caitlyn, and so they'll remarry as wife and wife. Where's the conflict in that? It's a conflict in your brain No This is nonsense There has to be real conflict people screaming at each other They did try to produce a little conflict by bringing on this fourth episode Kim Kardashian Let's put Kim on it maybe that will jack up the rating You stole my dress! Was there something like that

1:29:25 No, there was no conflict. It was her trying to help him make amends with the... it was terrible! This show is sucks! Is sucks I think we agree on that Alright now here's the funny thing Now i believe is E-Networks part of the ABC complex? Because it's on E. Whatever the case, and I said whatever the case on purpose... Here is the thing that is kind of funny because this was somebody came up with the idea when we first discussed this a while back that the whole thing was set up by the Kardashian mom who is the superstar in this process. She must have had it removed from her, we don't need you or something like that. That's why I think part of the failure is going on and it was supposedly if... NBC Universal owns E. Okay well then this makes more sense because

1:30:24 There's no reason to run this story. In the three by three collections, I do look at news items that are one station carries in the other one doesn't. One network dwells on something and another one doesn't. ABC is the only one who carried this story and I think it's kind of interesting because there is a call back to the early days of his pre-switching sexes. This is the Caitlyn story, ABC only. There was word from authorities tonight that Caitlyn Jenner could face possible charges The LA Sheriff Department planning to recommend charges to prosecutors after that fatal accident in Malibu last February They are accusing her of unsafe driving Her SUV colliding with Alexis A woman was killed in the accident Yeah well it proves a point

1:31:08 Now if proves a point women can't drive This was before the operation. I know that! Yeah, well... Well, I don't know what you did but I think that- I think something bad happened. I think he probably is- We have a vehicular manslaughter or something going on and now we can use this sex change. Oh it's all screwed up. Oh right yeah i was confused. I was confused He was pulling a dune buggy like an off road dune buggy You know like a real manly kind of thing to do When he crashed. Yeah, oh well I'd be quite happy if we don't have to talk about Caitlyn Jenner anymore. I think it probably come up once or twice in the future It just may but i'm just going to have to disagree Then I would love for us to produce two episodes you produce one episode with conflict and I produced one where We see him tying his junk back into...I'm telling you that's the bonanza baby right there That's the sweeps episode No

North Korea, Propaganda Speakers and Military Exercises

North Korea enters a "war footing" after South Korea resumes propaganda broadcasts via giant loudspeakers at the border. The segment questions the timing of these events, noting they coincide with planned U.S.-South Korean military exercises and the use of "Giant Voice" warning systems.

1:32:14 All right blows up at the police station that would be something hmm. Let me see I have a confusing North Korea did you hear this North Korean? saber-rattling story Because apparently South Korea set of a bunch of speakers and then North Korea blow them up Yeah, so play this because if he listened to the story This is what was on PBS and it just seems not to be fleshed out properly. North Korea went on a war footing today and issued an ultimatum, the north's leader Kim Jong-un demanded that South Korea halt new propaganda broadcasts at the border by tomorrow night or face a possible attack. At a briefing in Pyongyang, a senior North Korean officer declared the south deserves severe punishment

1:33:02 Their aim is to bring about the collapse of the ideology and system which our people have chosen themselves, and which our soldiers protect with their lives. And to deprive us of our power in all areas of our lives." In turn, South Korean troops went to their highest alert status amid reports of North Korean missiles possibly moving to launch positions. At the same time U.S. officials confirmed a temporary pause in military exercises with South Korea. The exercises have since resumed." Yeah I did catch that. Oh gee we're doing military exercises and something horrible happens with North Korea? Hmm let me see... But there's a timeline issue with this story.

1:33:46 There's a timeline issue with this story, which was expressed at the very end of the story. Which was the United States stopped doing this and now they're resumed? What was the timeline here? Was this like...is this over a couple of weeks? It sounds like a new story that just happened a couple days ago but then how do we stop doing these exercises and now they've resumed? All in this small space of time. Well, it makes no sense to me Do we have a sale coming up of stuff to North Korea? To South Korea? I have no idea This whole thing is just crappy poorly Told story I didn't want to look at it. That was stupid They were gonna yeah, if they're gonna send missiles and probably blow up the speaker set as they're trying I guess some new giant speakers that We should get the You we should get a speaker. We should get that geek show guide those Geek Show guys you like on the Twitter network Yeah, which would have them go to eater geek is you go to South Korea and rate this and rate this the speakers Or maybe tune them up a little bit

1:34:51 There was something else, what was it? Remember the big giant speaker story. Well you mean the giant voice? Yeah the big giant voice. It's still a couple of them around the country. Gee I bet we still have some clips from the joint. I bet that is what they had going on and it was just beaming into North Korea. I think thats all they have here Giant Voice System this an example Ocean Beach San Francisco. These things are everywhere in America, by the way. Don't they talk? I think they're talking this... Yeah. This is a test of the outdoor warning system. This is only a- I guess when they really have to activate this system to tell people what to do. Let me talk Euroland for a moment

Greek Debt Crisis, German Privatization of Assets

Following the resignation of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) begins a "fire sale" of Greek national assets.

The board of directors let's see board directors we have Greek, Greek, Greek. I like these trains and it was just... It's all Greek people. These are all these people are screwing their own country isn't it beautiful though some of the things that are available? Oh yeah even a freeway interchange looks like it's for sale. And meanwhile

1:40:11 Isn't great or what the times we live in where we, you know, we just screw a country. Everyone's looking at it via, we launched these memes saying they're lazy bastards anyways so everybody hates them. Everybody fucking hate that works too by the way people love that I think it was a lazy bastards. I think it was Tina's friend Teresa she and her she went to Greece to Rodos and all she heard from fellow was, you know, the Greece thing. You know they are really lazy and so they really kind of deserve all this." Which is kind of not true although nicely launched... No it's actually one of the most productive people in Europe! Now add to that that we then bomb Libya which we never saw any footage of but I don't think there's ever seen any good footage of these so-called no fly zone where we just bombed the crap out of Libya

Syrian Refugee Crisis, Mediterranean Crossing to Greece

Thousands of refugees from Syria are arriving on the Greek island of Lesbos after paying smugglers $3,000 for boat trips from Turkey. The humanitarian situation is described as dire, with migrants facing long walks in extreme heat and sleeping in the open air upon arrival in the European Union.

syria· greece· lesbos· refugees· turkey

1:41:05 I've seen lots of footage of the place that's... Well, not of the bombing itself. It's rubble-ized now and so a thousand people a day are making the crossing from North Africa, from Libya to Greece. Jubilant upon arrival these migrants have reached the Greek island of Lesbos and importantly for many the European Union. Accustomed to receiving daily boatloads of people volunteers are on hand to welcome their rivals as they take the first steps in their new lives. No more life! War? We need the life. That's what we need, we need the life These poor guys are like, we're at war, we got hunger poverty... We need a life! There is no life in Syria Each one of the migrants who just arrived on the island paid $3,000 for their trip from Turkey Again proof that were in the wrong business John This isn't good business It was just a couple dinghies Shoot, we could get air mattresses, you know, AeroBeds

1:42:09 Float them on there. The bears were eating. Yeah. To Lesbos, their trip lasted around two and a half hours. Volunteers were waiting to offer them food and water but hopes are soon dashed as they face an eight kilometer walk to a nearby village Despite the beautiful scenery the intense summer heat proves too much for many And they end up sleeping on the side of the road. Respect to our woman who made it to the village but faces another journey to reach one of the islands. This is a very nice lady and she's, they're all smiling John! They're all really happy they got us Syria Of course our weapons are killing Syrians Our guns are you know we're providing them No one gives a shit about these people Migrant camps We take four hours to come here Sleep outside And now we are here with good people

1:42:56 Now they help us. We hope we go another place, good place... Yeah we need a little bit of help." We just need a little bit of help is all the poor woman is asking for. I've got a clip and of course this clip that you have doesn't represent what's going on now which is now that they're moving these guys through Greece and they're hitting Macedonia and now all hell break loose are shooting each other And...but I'm kind of interested in the way there's a descriptive. The next report, the one that I have here is from NewsHour PBS with Judy and Judy uses the word migrant or immigrant, immigrant for the immigrants and other people who are doing the actual reporting using refugees which we've been talked about this before. It definitely should be refugees because that what's going on here it's not like somebody deciding to move. And they're caused by us!

CHAPTER 35 / 54 Discussion

Macedonia Border Violence, European Migrant Crisis

Violence erupts at the Macedonian border as security forces use tear gas and stun grenades to repel thousands of migrants traveling north from Greece. The ITN reports highlight the "state of emergency" in the region as over 160,000 people have entered Greece so far in 2015, seeking passage to Western Europe.

macedonia· greece· refugees· itn· humanitarian crisis

1:43:50 Well, no that's of course the course is caused by us and Eastern most of Europe because Europe has to suck all these people up and What's interesting is that this report, which I believe will be the most official report of what we're supposed to think because this is another one and I pointed this out before. Another one of these reports that PBS uses they don't have their own reporters for this even though they do from ITN. Ah yes whenever they do the ITN report that is a package deal that has been put together. Messaging, as opposed to this official. Europe's migrant crisis turned violent today along Macedonia's border with Greece. Macedonian security forces used force to drive back thousands of migrants trying to head deeper into the continent We have a report from Juliet Bremner of Independent Television News From one battleground to another

1:44:47 Survivors from Syria's brutal civil war driven back at the Macedonian border Riot police Wow, hold on. Can we just stop and say wait a minute from their Civil War? Civil War though was Syrian thing Yeah, that's official. That's officially what it is Okay I know it's bullcrap, but this is a position that we're in. Oh God... Officer people of Macedonia they shoot the people

1:45:33 A state of emergency has been declared in the south and north of the country. Around 36,000 arrived in Macedonia last month heading through Greece to the border town of Givgelia traveling by train to Kumanova and onwards to Serbia and Western Europe John this is perfect! The Germans are running them on trains hmm do they give them a little patch? They don't want to stay in Macedonia. They are in transit, but now find themselves trapped There is more than three or four thousand they are coming more so it's it's not believable What what my cadillac I do you know and they do and they know that we are only crossing But now they all stuck sleeping without cover

1:46:19 cover in a country that's not prepared for the influx. There are hundreds of vulnerable persons, children babies other persons with extreme vulnerabilities including medical needs most of them if not all of them stay rough in the open air Tonight there are calls for an end to these heavy-handed tactics and for Greece and Macedonia to instead offer assistance to desperate people More than 160,000 migrants have arrived in Greece so far this year and nearly all head north. Bomb them! Bomb them! And bomb them again! I want to stomp on them, I want to swap them, I want to raid them...

1:47:03 This is a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. I know, and we're not even... the Americans at least if you listen to the normal news that we're not even paying any attention. They are migrants! They are annoying migrants. Three by three analysis of these three networks there has been Rarely once a while. There's a little short snippet of it was 60 second bit of a story bitching about something or other It's just they just throw it in and these are children They're women and children and kids kids, and they're very tasing them there spraying them with raid This is this is a she this is

Black Lives Matter, Hillary Clinton Confrontation Script

The confrontation between Black Lives Matter activists and Hillary Clinton is analyzed as a potentially scripted event. The discussion touches on the movement's funding from George Soros's Open Society Institute and critiques the rhetoric used by activists regarding the deaths of Tamir Rice and Sam DuBose.

black lives matter· hillary clinton· george soros· sam dubose· tamir rice

2:06:45 I think you're right, John. I was thinking that Hillary Clinton was real in that Black Lives Matter thing and you said it was a script...I'm going to re-stand. I think you're right. There's... It was fake to me! Yeah. You liked it It was good. I thought it was a good script. Yeah, it was good. Well... You know the camera's there and this is bullcrap So these two Black Lives Matter spokesholes... You okay? Did you get it? Just trying to clear my nose. Uh, I know the problem They were on... Was this CNN? I'm not sure

2:07:29 But just listen to them speaking. Now, what I do believe to be true—what Hillary alluded to is that there's no legislation, there's nothing backing up these groups. They are solely intended to wreak havoc, create problems, create tension, create racial divisiveness And we know that one of the major funders is the Open Society Institute. That would be George Soros, never seen in the same photo with Brzezinski. I just want to have a lot of trouble so I can keep my wealth

2:08:06 Right? Yeah. Did I nail it? Pretty good! So Julius, we can expect more of that kind of interrupting the candidates as they try to speak. He's even said, can we look forward to more interrupting the candidates if they try to speak you guys are so awesome! So Julius, we could expect more of that kind of interrupting the candidates as they try to speak is that what i'm hearing I think what the video that Dinesh and I, and others are in shows is that there is actually more diverse tactics than just shutting down. But from the palette of things we will do as a diversity, we'll shut them down, we'll have meetings it'll whatever takes to get Black Lives Matter on the national agenda is what where is what were seeking to do. And its important

2:09:01 It's important to note that folks want to characterize and judge the Black Lives Matter movement in myriad ways, but what no one can argue with is that this is a pressing issue. This is a pressing issue and some people live in a world where it's just a pressing issue in politics and some people live in a world where it's actually our kids dying. And so if folks wanna inform their own perspective on Black Lives Matter. It's the urgency that we see in the video of Sam DuBose who got shot in the head, point blank range in a car just for driving it's the urgency of Tamir Rice who was 12 years old who was shot literally for playing and this is... He was shot for playing? Literally? Literally! Who says literally? Literally! Shot for play- Hey kid are you playing?! I'm gonna shoot you

2:09:54 No. No! ...who was shot literally for playing, and it's the urgency of Sandra Bland... It was shot while playing? Say what?! He wasn't shot FOR playing he was shot WHILE playing Yeah but LITERALLY shot for playing. For playing. For playing. For playing. And it is the urgency of Sandra Bland What is the point of these sorts of lies Well, its about to happen you're gonna hear in the next 20 seconds The case that everybody knows so temper. That's interesting, Sandra Bland he says well everyone knows about that no we actually we don't know that's part of the problem with that particular case and we don't know what happened but he just says well everybody knows if I you stupid stupid everybody now the case it everybody knows so temper out I would say temper your perspective with urgency than black lives are actively under attack and we are in a

2:10:46 in a terrible war with our own country. Now, here's where it gets interesting because of course we have the counterweight to Black Lives Matter and that is All Lives Matter To these guys, all lives matter means something very specific. African-Americans are Americans and we're not treated like that We're not treated as if black lives matter And when people say all lives matter it's actually a violent statement because the only time that people say our lives matters in opposition to Black Lives Matter It is the most violent statement of love that you can do. Violent statement of love that you can do? All lives matters! Yes, we understand that is true but in this country for the long time

CHAPTER 43 / 54 Discussion

All Lives Matter, Rhetoric of Violence

The segment examines the claim by activists that saying "All Lives Matter" is a "violent statement of love." The hosts characterize the escalating rhetoric as a "brain twister" and suggest that the people running the country do not actually care about any of the groups involved.

2:09:54 No. No! ...who was shot literally for playing, and it's the urgency of Sandra Bland... It was shot while playing? Say what?!

Violent statement of love that you can do? All lives matters! Yes, we understand that is true but in this country for the long time

2:11:27 The United States acts like black lives don't matter. Yeah, okay so it's a violent statement to say all lives matter so this is literally going to rile up violence So if you say all lives matter they see that as the most violent act of love You can do whatever that means The most violent act of love Wow! That's a brain twister right there So these guys are a hate group I think Yeah, I think they are a hate group. It's pretty obvious and i just want to reiterate you're all wrong no lives matter the people running the show don't give a crap about you No lives matter! NO LIVES MATTER TO THEM!

Sheriff David Clarke, Racial Division in Media

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke criticizes the Black Lives Matter movement and the mainstream media for "fanning the flames of racial division." He argues that the media acts as a propaganda wing for a "mob" that drowns out meaningful conversation within the black community.

2:12:19 And he just, I mean he really just laid it out and uh...I don't remember what he was on but i like what you said. Do you think there's a way to have a beneficial conversation within the black community because people outside that are going to say we're not the ones who can go in and talk about black-on-black violence? Effectively, we're not a part of that community. But it's an important topic do you think it's possible within that community to have a meaningful conversation on that? A meaningful conversation John could you come over tomorrow night and I'm gonna have a meaningful conversation or everyone a meaningful conversation even though we're not from that community. Only if you've got Chardonnay. Do you have chardonnay for everybody? I want it cold. Cold for a meaningful conversation!

2:13:01 that community to have a meaningful conversation on that. Well I'd like to think there is but i haven't seen any indication of it because this whole black lives matter movement is dominating the conversation they're dominating the stage right now, they're trying make this about the police. The police are one of few things thats right in St Louis Missouri and one of few things thats right Ferguson Missouri and until mainstream media because they've been the propaganda wing for this movement. And so, the liberal mainstream media stops fanning the flames of racial division and starts giving the microphone on stage if you will to this mob that are going to continue to drown out people who really need to step up and who can make a difference in the American ghetto." There ya go! In the American ghetto I love that. He said drowned.

2:13:49 Did he say what? He did. He said they drowned. Let me hear that again. They drowned him out. The mainstream media, because they've been the propaganda wing for this movement until the liberal mainstream media stops fanning the flames of racial division and starts giving the microphone on stage if you will to this mob. They're going to continue to drown out people who really need to step up and make a difference in the American ghetto." That kind of ruins his whole statement doesn't it?

Science as Religion, Martin Luther's Catechism

A PhD in theology provides an analysis of science functioning as a modern religion, citing Martin Luther's 1529 Large Catechism. The argument posits that a "God" is anything on which a heart relies, and that modern trust in scientific institutions mirrors 15th-century religious faith and idolatry.

martin luther· theology· science· idolatry· catechism

2:14:28 Drowned. I made a mistake in the newsletter only two people. Oh, oh, I didn't catch it. I always proofread it and I didn't catch you what you get this well? I And I know how to do I know the right word but I used the wrong one when I use that twice. Oh boy It was The show is beholden To the audience and ice wrote beholding ah It's behold then, be. I'm sorry i missed that one well i mean i missed it i've read it a couple of times and for some reason i didn't catch it i know the words and uh you know what are you gonna do yeah i do my best we had a we had an interesting conversation john on the last show over chardonnay in a conversation about science being the new religion oh yeah with your buddies but i got a lot

2:15:19 I bet you did. But, like to share one with you... Did your buddies send a note in or anything? I bet you 10 bucks they're not listening to this show anymore. Well, I forgot to mention that Professor Russ also had a vasectomy and he looks like a lesbian! There ya go. This is a note from Sir Eric of Chi-town. You know if I if that's... I don't with friends like that who needs enemies. What? That comment! What can I say is just an observation It's based on a book I read in the 19th, not in the 20s But look at Professor Ross he looks like a lesbian and you can't help it Yeah you can't help once you get the vasectomy this is where direction you go yeah but his wife made him do it

2:16:06 Of course. Hey Adam, hope you're enjoying your time in the Windy City! At least you've come up for some decent weather... As an ordained pastor someone who has a PhD in theology and whose doctoral work covered the idea of what a God is here's another angle on the science as a religion conversation A hint? You are right Now do we have a great producing audience or what? The best An ordained pastor, Phd in theology So take that, Professor Brain. We have professors in theology! Something you are not a professor in." And there you have it... In 1529 the German reformer Martin Luther—we all know him—did he not start the Lutheran Church? Pretty much. Published his large catechism as he was unpacking the line from the Ten Commandments quote, "...You shall have no other gods before me," end quote

2:17:01 He reflected on what a God is. A god, wrote Luther... Remember this professor saying this! A god, wrote Luther, is anything on which your heart relies, anything in which you put your trust therefore it's very possible for science to be a God and for religion to form around it Yes This connects with the original sin phrase that people of power keep tossing about A phrase which is a very complicated metaphor I wish they would actually explain. And here we go! The original sin of Adam and Eve according to Genesis 3, is that they trusted the serpent and their own desires more than they trusted what God said regarding the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The original sin is not trusting God above all others which still, as the theological argument goes are sins today

2:17:48 If the response is that trust is not religion, they are technically right in that there's no formal hierarchy or structure. But... Trust is the essence of faith and faith does lead to religion, especially amongst those who blindly or uncritically follow a way of thinking that is designed to build trust in a way of thinking or acting. As reminder I'm a pastor so I know this problem from both personal experience and academic work In today's media science IS a kind of religion Whenever people talk about science just replace the word with God or purple fairies or magic Purple fairies And the effect will normally be the same. Science is being used on the media-consuming public like religion was being used on the public in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries." Yeah, this is a...of course a lot of people refer to this process as idolatry. Mm-hmm. What are what are the little things you worship around idolatry? Idols!

2:18:45 No, no. There's a different word I'm looking for. The religious symbols? Well anyway... An example of this which includes a salute. Ah! Hail Apple! Hail Apple! I'd host you for your meal during your time here but my wife hates the show. Just with the... I'd host you for your meal during your time here. My wife hates the show? My wife hates the show! Oh well, keep up the media... But why?! I don't know! He needs to explain. Anyway sir Eric... A lot of it was tied in that note we received earlier where I read about people not... You know, the show contradicts your thought process if you're all-in with mainstream media. I just love that!

2:19:38 Here's a professor, here is the professor in two paragraphs explaining why science is religion and then his toss away. I'd host a meal for you during your time here but my wife hates the show. Oh well... Hitting people on the mouth for Jesus Sir Eric of Chita. And now just realize it is not The Book Of Knowledge we should be looking things up in The Tree Of Knowledge. That's a bit much. Okay, so you already have the jingle anyway Anyway I appreciate that Sir Eric pastor sir Pastor Eric and tell your wife I said hey You know you turned on your friend there

Subway Subliminal Messaging, Hillary Clinton Plan B

An anecdote about office workers independently choosing Subway for lunch on the day of the Jared Fogle allegations serves as a discussion on subliminal messaging. This transitions into political analysis regarding Democrats seeking a "Plan B" as Hillary Clinton's candidacy faces increasing questions and Joe Biden considers a run.

2:20:21 Yeah, well he turned on me. I guess he did. Come on! You know what? I can take abuse in a private setting but you want to do that on the face page? No no no...I'm not gonna stand for that. Oh it was on Facebook that's right. It wasn't private email. He decided to bring it out in the open and try to humiliate you And he had his fellow professor nuts jump onboard That's crazy Oh yeah, that's bad. That's not okay and then you know his wife compared me to Hitler! ISIS Yeah you got the Hitler thing in there Come on One more email John from Sam In the morning That's hilarious! ...that you brought up that Subway was packed the day that the Jared allegations came out. I almost emailed you to tell you a similar anecdote... I work in a small office with eight people, myself included. I bring lunch to work as do two other co-workers of the five guys that always go out to lunch four of them independently of each other decided to get Subway for lunch that day subliminal messaging works Wow Yeah, huh? I didn't expect that

2:21:24 Well, I didn't even think about it until you brought it up. Yeah, but I should have been always on trying to catch that stuff I have a clip all right because they don't know what this clip is I Have my list of clips and reduce them in the morning usually remember what they are We'll just play no at Hillary cracks news our random clip on the No Agenda show had a really terrible launch to her candidacy There's been a series of questions a series of things that she's been defensive on and there are Democrats now thinking in the back of their mind, do we need a plan B? I think that's very real. This has gone from a very small chance of implosion to maybe a larger chance where Democrats are saying that Sanders can't carry the ball

2:22:10 into the election and there may need to be someone else. There's no one obvious, to be honest but I think those questions have now been raised in a serious way." There was a report today Mark that and Michael that Vice President Biden is asking some technical questions about mounting a campaign but we'll see. He has indicated he will make a decision. Joe Biden like every other presidential candidate still dreams about being elected president it doesn't go away away. It is a lifelong affliction. A lifelong affliction? That's what he said, weak analysis all week analysis we see on the news are these two guys that one guy from The Washington Post and then Mark Shields and the two guys go back and forth. The guy from The Washington Post supposed to represent the Republicans and he doesn't

CHAPTER 47 / 54 Discussion

Donald Trump, Media Context and Boston Incident

The segment critiques Matt Taibbi's coverage of Donald Trump in Rolling Stone, specifically regarding an incident in Boston where two men attacked a homeless man. The hosts argue that Trump's comments on the "passion" of his followers were taken out of context to paint him as inciting violence.

donald trump· matt taibbi· boston· immigration· rolling stone

2:23:00 He's just another Democrat, it's so obvious. And they go back and forth I got a follow-up clip here which is more weak analysis. Okay... Well you have two of them all right yeah there's one's two and one should be... I actually play the Trump one OK. There we go. A movement at the same time, Judy let's be very blunt about this please is a mean spirit in this in the electorate he's appealing to I mean when the CNN poll asks which of all the candidates do you agree with on immigration by a four to one margin Republican primary voters say Donald Trump or Donald Trump whatever else he is his position is anti immigrant

2:23:44 Overall it is devastating Michael's absolutely right. It is devastating the Republican Party in the long run because Asian voters the fastest growing minority in the country Who supported George HW Bush when he lost badly and 92? voted even more Democratic than 47% of Asians voted again hurting them in the long run, but in the short run it's helping him with the Republican primary voters. Right? Well there are members I completely agree who want to be pale versions of Trump which i think is hurting them and hurting the party. How can you get more pale than Trump? Yeah. There was a story that I first caught on Rolling Stone magazine which

2:24:32 I condemn Rolling Stone magazine. No, Rolling Stone is completely against Trump. A bunch of assholes! And Ma Taibbi's one of the big promoters of the anti-Trump rhetoric. So just gotta read this... This is Matt Taibbi He's the one, he is the hitman. He starts off by saying so two yahoos from South-E in my hometown of Boston severely beat up a Hispanic homeless guy earlier this week while being arrested one of the brothers reportedly told police that quote Donald Trump was right all these illegals need to be deported When reporters confronted Trump, he hadn't yet heard about the incident. At first he said well that would be a shame but right after that he went on to say I will say the people that are following me are very passionate they love this country they want this country to be great again but they're very passionate i will say that now This is so taken out of context and if you read The report of what actually happened these are two A-holes who apparently were peeing on a homeless guy

2:25:30 But the way I reports, I read this that he came after the guys peeing on them with a crowbar and He was hitting at them and then they hit back but you know This whole thing is that he said she said allegedly might have said And been taking a whole different quote out of context. What does Matt Taibbi hope to get? An ambassadorship? What does he want from this I'm so disappointed. He's good at his financial Wall Street stuff. Well, you know it just makes you wonder because he is just myopic. I mean he is blinded by Trump and it was all alleged... And then I caught the story also on Facebook people going this is not funny anymore! This guy's crazy we gotta stop him Trump's gonna kill America!

CHAPTER 48 / 54 Discussion

Efraim Halevy, Mossad and Iran Nuclear Deal

Former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy appears on PBS NewsHour to signal support for the Iran nuclear deal, which the hosts interpret as messaging for the "Jalitz" or elite Jewish community. Halevy defends the IAEA's Yukiya Amano and suggests that Israeli public opinion has not been allowed a full debate on the agreement.

efraim halevy· mossad· iran deal· iaea· yukiya amano

2:26:16 Stupid moron. Why do you follow that guy? It just doesn't make sense to me. Well, he gets my blood pumping Yeah, I was very disappointed in this case. It's bigoted coverage of Trump. There are plenty of things you can go after Trump that are real but taking some incident out of context and moving it over to here... So unnecessary! There is a thing going on which I have to mention which is the messaging. It doesn't happen too often on NewsHour. Usually shows up on network TV but apparently this long-winded ex head of Mossad You rarely see these guys from the Israeli side, these spies come out and start talking. And he was on NewsHour? What was the reason for his being on NewsHour? To me his name is Efren Helevy. The reason in my opinion was to inform the elites specifically the elite Jews

2:27:18 The Jalitz. The Jalitz, which would be to tell them... Those No Agenda guys are racist man! They're bigots. If you just to tell the cognoscenti what's going on so they don't believe everything they hear in other words Israel is this what the message is my opinion but who else's opinion I'd be saying? We're all in on this. This agreement is fine, everything you're hearing about what Netanyahu's doing is just smoke screen for keeping his people from...

2:27:57 You know, the right wing or whoever it is that hates this idea from getting all bent out of shape. This is so scripted, so rehearsed. This guy talks like a robot. He's the worst communicator ever. It went on for a long time way too long for NewsHour. So it was all messaging paid for paid for he's telling us what how to think about this situation and the Mossad guy which you know as they run the place So let's hear what he has to say, part one. As well the Associated Press reporting that Iran will be able to use its own inspectors they have a side deal with the International Atomic Energy Agency where Iranian inspectors will be in charge of looking at the military site this so-called Parchin site The argument is that this is a big loophole in the agreement how do you see it?

2:28:47 This is an agreement which is a secret agreement reached between the Director General of the IEA, which is the United Nations body charged for years with supervising implementation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The director of this agency, Yaakir Ahmano is not only a veteran in this field of disarmament. He's been highly regarded and he has impeccable credentials Up to now Israel has respected Yaakiro Amano Respected his judgments and I think we should wait and see how the ultimate

2:29:25 process of the negotiations he is now conducting with the Iranians and the outcome of these negotiations at the end of this year, how he will be satisfied with the arrangements that he's setting up in order to monitor these activities. Okay So that was to get, that was one of those questions. We have this issue, this new issues floating around about the secret agreement, the secret agreement, the secret agreement, they run is get inspect themselves. Let's just push that aside with that comment. I've done something crazy and you tell me when you want it. I did something really crazy John

CHAPTER 49 / 54 Discussion

Iran Nuclear Deal, Parchin Site Inspection Roadmap

The specific "Separate Arrangement 2" regarding the Parchin military site in Iran is deconstructed. The roadmap allows Iran to provide its own photos, videos, and environmental samples to the IAEA using authenticated equipment, which critics argue is a significant loophole in the verification process.

iran· parchin· iaea· nuclear inspection· roadmap

2:30:02 I actually took a look at the secret agreement. I was actually wondering why you took so long? Yeah Okay, let's play part two and the guy is going to get some more stuff out of the way And this went on for like i said a long time and the message is don't worry about it just You know this is fine Finally Mr. Levy how difficult Is It for you To support This Agreement when your Prime Minister When The majority Of Israeli Public Opinion We are told opposes First of all, there has been no real public debate in Israel on this. The Knesset which is the equivalent if I may say so of Congress has not even discussed it once. I think there is an attempt here to stifle public discussion. I'm not alone in this view. There are others who are thinking likewise

2:30:52 as I am. One of them is General Uzi Elam, the former head of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission a highly regarded general The man who led his battalion and stormed the Old City in 1967 And there are others like Professor Ben Yisrael whose head of R&D Of the Israeli Defense Establishment for many years an Air Force general In the Yom Kippur War, the vast majority of public opinion and official opinion said there would be no war. Very few people stood up and said the opposite Let's not have another Yom Kippur in reverse Okay so he's talking war well in reverse yeah

2:31:36 Well, let's read through the paragraph 5 of the relevant paragraph above the side letter known as Separate Arrangement 2 agreed to by Islamic State of Iran and International Atomic Energy Agency on 11 July 2015 regarding the roadmap. Point 1. Iran and the Agency agreed on the following sequential arrangement with regard to the Parchin issue. Iran will provide to the agency photos of locations, including those identified in paragraph 3 below which would be mutually agreed between Iran and the agency taking into account military concerns. 2. Iran will provide to the Agency videos of the locations, including those identified in paragraph 3 which would be mutually agreed upon between Iran and the Agency taking into account military concerns. 3. Iran will provide to the Agency seven environmental samples taken from points inside one building already identified by the Agency and agreed to by Iran and two points outside of the Parchin Complex which would be agreed between Iran and the Agency

2:32:33 4. The Agency will ensure the technical authenticity of the activities referred to in paragraphs 1-3. Activities will be carried out using Iran's authenticated equipment, consistent with technical specifications provided by the Agency and the Agency's containers and seals The above-mentioned measures would be followed as a courtesy by Iran by a public visit of the Director General, as a dignitary guest of the government of Iran accompanied by his deputy for safeguards. And six, Iran and the agency will organize a one day technical roundtable on issues relevant to Parchin." You know you can make this sound like they're just gonna give us everything and we just have to believe them but

2:33:15 But I think the details, and this is the roadmap. This is not the detailed agreement. This is the road map. I think it's probably going to be reasonably okay if you take into account what's really happening here is every country in the EU and outside but certainly the EU are all now negotiating with Iran for business everyone is...this is a bonanza Iran is open for business and everybody loves it. They're big buyers. Yeah, you know what the number one... I don't understand what are except for the rubalization theory? Mm-hmm. I don't understand what our reluctance is unless we want to get the upper hand for business but we're gonna give it away like we did with Cuba that Canadians took all of real estate investing now do You know what the red gold is red gold mm-hmm

Iran Trade Opportunities, Saffron and Red Gold

As sanctions on Iran are lifted, European countries are rushing to secure business deals. The discussion highlights Iran's dominance in the saffron market, producing up to 160 tons of "red gold" annually, valued at approximately $20 million per ton, alongside opportunities in caviar and Persian rugs.

2:34:02 Tell me. You, I think you've probably mentioned this to me before Iran accounts for 130-160 tons of the 200 tons of this red gold produced worldwide every year far outranking Spain Italy the US China Afghanistan No we've talked about it This is you talking about saffron Yes Saffron. Yeah, no the Persian saffron. You said yeah-no? Yeah no. Talk about saffron! I'm hearing it a lot more too which is annoying. If you go to the right stores in ethnic parts of certain towns, you can get the best of the Persian saffron. It is fantastic! Now is saffron an important spice? Explain it. Yeah if your Spanish or Portuguese or Middle Eastern yeah its a very important spices I mean saffron rice which is actually staple here at the house is quite tasty

2:35:02 It's extremely expensive. Not caviar expensive, where you... You know? Because you don't need much of it What does saffron cost? I dunno it's a lot! What do you think a ton... You buy this container of saffron for like 20 bucks or 25 bucks and it has no weight There is just some saffron in there. It's just like... I dunno what it costs A pound?! It's outrageous Let's look it up! I'm looking it up right now We shall consult the tree of knowledge! Consult the blitz! Doesn't work What do you have on that? I don't have anything. I have $10,000 a pound that's sounds about right 10 so $10,000 a pound a ton being 2,000 pounds yeah do the math help me help me do the math ten thousand times two thousand is 20 million

2:35:55 Let's see, we got 1-2-3-4. Yeah 10 thousand times 2 thousand is 20 thousand. It looks more like 200 million to me. Oh crap! 200 million? Oh my god... Hey Charlie Prime blow me. Two hundred million per pound per ton. They have they also do what they also do certain kinds of very exotic Basmati rice out of it. That's a really... Anyone who likes food would like the... And rugs! Yeah, rugs. It's always the rugs. Persian rugs have become more rare because they don't export as many but the prices have fallen through the floor you I can imagine what you probably get in their early day before they become repopularized because right now they're not popular

2:36:51 Fantastic product. So but this is it these are the types of deals that are being done And there's no...this Iran deal is happening. It has nothing to do with them being afraid of nuclear...look, Iran is having a...they're ruining Yemen. They're... David Morgan, Jr.: Oh by the way let's go back in. It is 20 million because I realized they added one too many zeros. Okay but it was thinking of 100 thousand. Mike Gellard, Jr., There's still a lot of money. Five zeroes. A lot of money. Yeah that's $20 million. Mike Gellard, Jr. Yeah that's a lot of money so all these deals are being everyone's jumping in on the deals everybody yeah but us And we know about saffron. How could we miss out on that boat?

CHAPTER 51 / 54 Discussion

Agenda 2030, Global Warming Feedback Loops

The transition from Agenda 21 to "Agenda 2030" is noted. A scientist from the University of Alabama explains that the global climate may be less sensitive to carbon dioxide than models suggest, citing natural feedback loops and the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions and El Niño cycles.

agenda 2030· agenda 21· global warming· carbon dioxide· el nino

2:37:31 Alright, I have... let me see. I do have one little Agenda 21 which you know now is agenda... Also caviar! It's another big caviar operation Oh really? And i think they've got the modern caviar type of uh yes yeah some of the best caviar They- You have some of the modern techniques where they can cut the fish open scrape up the eggs and then seal the fish Then send it back?! Yeah, I think so I've heard about this. Cool! Yeah, they cut it open get the eggs out and then shh... And the poor fish is like what the hell happened? It was back in the water. Well, I guess it better produce more eggs So so the fish wakes up in a bathtub full of ice Right your liver's gone

2:38:13 This is, now Agenda 21 has changed now to Agenda 2030. I don't know if you followed this but the big Agenda 21 groups all came together and they're all hooting and hollering they now have their final goals it's no longer called agenda 21 it is agenda 2030 which you will recall your date my date I said it was going to be 2030 and nailed it Yep, this is give you that one. Mm-hmm It's something going on there and this so this is just a global warming perspective And this is from I always like pulling out You know some some clips from people who are I don't know scientists University of Alabama's Earth System Science Center He's the director of his outlook on global warming. I thought was worth a listen but what we do know them to largest impacts on temperature are the El Ninos in the Pacific

2:39:02 as well as volcanic eruptions which shade the Earth when they put the dust and smoke in the stratosphere. So once you account for both of those, there's not a whole lot of warming in the planet The conclusion we have reached is that the world...the global climate is not very sensitive to carbon dioxide And that can occur if the climate responds in its many facets to release heat when you add the heat from carbon dioxide. So, carbon dioxide does allow more heat to be retained in the system—the climate system

2:39:44 But the climate system also has many ways to allow an increased release of heat to space. And so we think that's what's going on, that there are feedbacks that are allowing that heat to escape and not accumulate the way models have indicated." Oh! So sorry about your... Ouch! No! Owch! So sorry about your models. Oohh, that's nasty. Now uh What it's hopeless that guys message will go nowhere No, but at least we played a little bit just what we play for our audience our producers all know this and just for the idea be the one or two guys Oh, you know. You're full of crap. Yeah, I like to show I like this show But there's your gear nuts yeah about the global warming I have I think we're almost done here, but I do how would I have oh?

Guantanamo Bay, Relocation and Resort Theories

Secretary of Defense Ash Carter is tasked with finding a "responsible way forward" to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. The hosts speculate that the prisoners will simply be moved to other locations like Poland, while the site itself could eventually be converted into a Cuban resort.

guantanamo bay· ash carter· cuba· detention· poland

2:40:32 I think the president is going to make good on his promise because of course he'd never want to leave office without having closed Guantanamo Bay. Yeah, Gitmo. Right? Gotta go- Take it to the bank! First thing that's gonna do by the way. You can take that to the bank, that's right if you wanna have him uh... Go uh... YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK! ...go and close Gitmo and everyone been saying how come you lie, you lie but looks like Ash Carter our new Secretary of Defense Hang Dog Ash who is Dick looks like he's tasked with doing it and he's gonna tell us how ultimately the facility surveys will provide me the rest of the president's national security team and Congress with some of the information needed to chart a responsible way forward

2:41:20 and a plan so that we can close the detention facility at Guantanamo in this chapter in our history. There are some who have been deemed eligible, and then there's an ongoing process of periodic review. There are some who have been deemed eligible. There have been others who have not been deemed eligible. And it's that population that we need to find a place to detain. If it's not Gitmo then its got to be somewhere else Poland. But this, so this is the point that and of course the American human resource citizenry are so dumb to be like hey close Gitmo didn't he? Yeah all he did is he moved it to Poland or wherever! The whole point was to release these prisoners who were being held you know unjustly. The other thing I think was one of the reasons they want to do this now finally

2:42:15 is because once they did the deal with Cuba, they're gonna take that prison camp and turn it into like a resort or something that Americans can go there. You'd fly in to get there. Make you know spend a bunch of money on it with an American part of it And then you could get your probably your visa right there stamped at the border and walk right into Cuba. We could turn it into a theme park. That'd be cool. You can get, you know, when the Cubans could come to that and then and then you can stand on a on an apple crate with a hood on your head and with your nuts being shocked. That's Abu Ghraib Oh I'm sorry oh well we hey no one will know the difference just put it in there No one will know the difference this is feel like

Stock Market Correction, Global Growth Concerns

The Dow Jones enters "correction territory" with a 10% drop, the worst week since 2011. Liz Ann Sonders of Charles Schwab attributes the volatility to weak growth in China, plunging commodity prices, and uncertainty regarding Federal Reserve policy, describing the correction as a "cleansing process."

2:43:01 Hi everybody, welcome to the Gitmo theme park. The Gitmo experience! Gitmo experience to put on your hood. Woo! Okay I love the Gitmo experience You got anything to leave us with, though? I got one. It was actually part of a system of stories but i'm just going to play the punchline and but i'll explain the system okay so i'm watching the three by three and then i started news and everyone you know is that the market collapsed uh man you know it's actually did it collapse or what happened went into correction at 10 finally after oh is it was it was a ten percent correction overall john

2:43:40 So far. Oh, wow! I didn't realize it was that much? Yes it was good. Is that the Dow 10 point correction? Yes the S&P I believe has not made this full ten percent yet. Okay good but this is supposed to happen once every year and it hasn't happened for four years. Well its a buying opportunity isn't it? when it bottoms out, which could be like Monday. I don't know. But everyone has all these analysis and the best analysis was a woman who is this strategic person from I think Schwab, and she was on NewsHour. And she had a very nice...actually we can play that. It's a very good explanation of how to think about this. Is this the NBC...? No, Stock Market Correction PBS. Gotcha! For some answers to what's behind it all, we turn to Lizanne Saunders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab. Lizanne welcome back to the program. So this is—I'm reading—this is the worst week since 2011? What is going on?

2:44:40 So what may on the surface seem like a bunch of disparate things, they're actually very interrelated. You've got very weak growth in China—some data that came out today showing that part of their economy in contraction. We've got the plunge in commodity prices including oil prices which ties back to the weakness in China so just global growth concerns deflation concerns and deflation is a fairly toxic environment because if whether you're consumer or an investor if prices are continuing to go down And then, this is all brought up uncertainty regarding Fed policy and how Janet Yellen long span of very, very mild equity performance. Well when you say overdue for a correction I did read one columnist in the New York Times today who said this is actually as bad as it seems he said it's a much-needed breather when some markets have been starting to look a little bubbly that was Neil Irwin. Oh I agree with that I think that corrections are healthy they bring sentiment it keeps complacency from becoming pervasive so I think corrections are

2:45:51 healthy. They're a cleansing process now whether we're at the end of this one I'm not so sure we're not even quite there yet for the S&P 500 although the Dow is in correction territory which is down 10% or more Alright, so that was probably the best of the group. The big three didn't have anything like that they had some kinds of analysis but my absolute favorite was CBS and this is classic network analysis this is there's nothing here let's do an analysis some sort of a metaphor lets do something and this is the dirty shirt clip Okie doke.

2:46:42 Identify this dirty shirt thing previously, John? I don't know. Hold on! Wait, dirty laundry? Let me see... Was it dirty laundry? No no no It just seemed like a dumb analysis. Yeah but I distinctly remember something about a dirty shirt Why do i have dirty shirt in the stock market three times here is that the same clip let me see what is this The US That's strange Dirty, I'm maybe you had maybe you had that may we play this clip early. I don't know I don't remember it. I have dirty shirt stock markets now That's what's the date on no? No that's all today. I'm sorry must be wrong. I thought dirty laundry and man I'm why well he gave me heard the same guy Well, you know what do you know what it all leads into what I heart laundry oh there you go That's the obvious answer All right
