About this episode

Hillary Clinton faces intense scrutiny following a series of gun control proposals and a town hall performance labeled as insincere by critics. The Democratic frontrunner advocated for universal background checks and a ban on military-style weapons, while an NBC News focus group in New Hampshire described her as polarizing and condescending. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama was declared unwelcome in Roseburg, Oregon, by local officials who accused the administration of politicizing a recent mass shooting for grandstanding.

In the Middle East, General John Campbell admitted a U.S. airstrike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz was a chain-of-command decision, contradicting earlier claims by Afghan forces. Tensions escalate as Iraq considers requesting Russian airstrikes against ISIS, potentially sidelining U.S. influence in the region. Simultaneously, the U.S. Treasury Department has launched an inquiry into how ISIS acquired a massive fleet of Toyota Hilux pickups, while Senator John McCain continues to badger military leadership over a feckless strategy in Syria.

Domestic oddities include a Florida school district paying $600,000 after a principal hypnotized students before their suicides and Burger King customers reporting green stool from the Halloween Whopper. Vice President Joe Biden delivered a high-energy speech to the Human Rights Campaign where he accidentally coined the term transjester. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct these events alongside reports of George Soros funding migrant networks in Europe.

Richard Moffat Criticizes John C. Dvorak for Lack of Podcast Prep

Richard Moffat, a frequent donor, sent a critical note to John C. Dvorak requesting that he prepare more thoroughly before each podcast recording. Dvorak defends his routine, noting he wakes up two and a half hours before the show to work, while Adam Curry mentions his own late-night clip production schedule. The hosts discuss their different approaches to show preparation and the physical toll of seasonal allergies in Austin, Texas.

CHAPTER 02 / 45 Discussion

Edward Snowden Propaganda and CIA Tuxedo Photo

Edward Snowden reportedly expressed a desire to leave Russia, a move characterized by the hosts as a potential extraction operation or propaganda effort. A photograph is discussed featuring a younger Snowden in a tuxedo alongside former CIA Director Michael Hayden. The hosts suggest this image reflects Snowden's earlier involvement with the intelligence community before his public whistleblowing.

02:37 Well, I gotta tell you man. There was just... First of all, I have horrible allergies that really hit me again Oh here we go again! Every year this happens Yeah and it's not- You can't get away from it It's not in the brochure for Austin, I'll tell you that It's not on the brochure And you claim that everybody has this problem Usually not the first year but the second year you get here That's when its gonna hit ya really hard That's bad. It means that the environment that you're in wants you to get out Only the only the strongest survive is the way I see it this is to get the douchebags out Hey hippie, get out Okay, I saw nothing but distractions. I saw companies fighting each other great distractions I see the military industrial complex doing very very

03:27 questionable things. Well, that's this is not news. Yeah except when they actually go to the peace did you see the pieces floor? I just caught it this morning was that about Snowden wants to leave Russia he we this isn't yeah I saw this did you it's just like propaganda This is like I'd rather be in prison. Yeah than be in Russia Yeah, well this is the extraction part of the operation now that he's... That's what I have to assume that that's what it is. It's an extraction part. Oh yeah? And I have a great picture which I'm going to put in the next newsletter. I was gonna put in the last newsletter but I didn't and I decided to keep the newsletter a little shorter. But in the next newsletter I have a picture of Snowden. It's all over the place when he was a little younger and his in his tuxedo hanging out with Haydn Michael Haydn, the CIA guy. Now that's an old picture! We've seen that before haven't we?

04:16 I don't remember seeing it before. I think I remember and i think is when Hayden was at the CIA and that's when he was getting his assignment And you get to wear a tux, and you get to look like James Bond. Yeah Let me start with The War on Crazy if you don't mind? No, I don't care Okay The war on crazy is pretty much how I think we view the call for comprehensive gun control measures And it was very interesting to see how we had this huge vacuum created when, of course you identified much earlier than the mainstream the hospital that was bombed in Afghanistan.

CHAPTER 03 / 45 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Gun Control Proposals and Town Hall Performance

Hillary Clinton introduced a series of gun control measures during a heavily publicized media blitz, including an appearance on Saturday Night Live. During a town hall event, she advocated for universal background checks, closing the "Charleston loophole," and banning military-style weapons. The hosts criticize her delivery as insincere and "psychopathic," specifically mocking her emotional "quiver" while discussing victims of gun violence.

05:04 And it was, the way I saw this happen is like there was just everyone was like well what are we going to do and it became really big. There was this huge vacuum and then Hillary Clinton slid in with them with an unbelievable just blanketing of primarily NBC affiliated stations She was given massive airtime, including Saturday Night Live. And it was well coordinated because of course as you know my name is Mimi on the Hillary Clinton Ready for Hillary emailing list thanks a lot John. You're looking back and I think that was an accident It was an accident that you subscribed me as Mimi to the Ready for Hillary campaign Yeah So I get tons of emails

05:56 And one of them says, Hillary Clinton is the only person to come up with comprehensive gun control reform plans. Did you see or hear anything comprehensive? No! But you can say that... Well, you can say it but if you don't actually publish anything or if you listen to this on-to me really unbelievably insincere woman Standing there talking about what she's going to do I thought it was clip worthy this Epidemic and for some reason as she recorded this on a 78 rpm record I'm not sure what happened to the sound on this is she gonna wait before you play any more of it Is she going to discuss the fact that? Gun violence has actually decreased significantly since 1990s Just the 90s. Yeah, he said let me think no this

06:56 epidemic of gun violence. Wait, wait what you talking about? There's no epidemic it's decreased! Thank you we'll continue you just keep interrupting because it's exactly what we need to do. No boundaries knows no limits of any kind there's plenty of limits all right who lapsed this up well Mimi loves it Mimi yeah adamant curry comm me me. Oh that's me me and when this happens people are quick to say That they offer their thoughts and prayers How many people have to die we actually act it's time for us to say wait a minute We're better than this

07:47 Our country is better than this, but we need to go back and with all of our hearts. She's got this quiver in her voice which is really... she's doing a good job on this. What? Oh! This was her town hall oh man you have.. I missed that. Oh hohoh! I've got a couple clips from it Working not just in Washington but from the grassroots up Demand that we have universal background checks. We have to close the loopholes Loopholes, you know we've got what's called a gun show loophole the gun show loophole That's a good one or check it and we've got what's now being called the Charleston loophole Oh, that's new Charleston loophole How is it now being called I never heard of it she coined it this this is how your role This is what you do? We also must address

08:37 The very serious problem of military-style weapons. Military style weapons? How about getting rid of military style cars?! That's always bothered me. These square pieces of crap that are roaming around on the streets, military style. We have got to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. Domestic abusers. People with serious mental health problems. Ja! We must make a list! We must making a list! Put you on da list! What is a serious mental health problem? Is Asperger's a serious mental health problem? Is autism a serious mental health problem?

09:19 Tourette's a serious mental health problem? I could be holding a gun and just start ticking, and then the thing will go off. Could kill people! That could happen it's actually one of the little uh that's one of the kind of things that happened in the movie Spy How about Mr McCarthy? How about depression? Yeah absolutely you know what because then people will shoot... You know, i'm not going alone! That's right um so we must make a list We must have lists to put people on There has got to be Tracking and record-keeping. So many of the parents of these precious children... Listen to this, John. Now she's breaking it down into quivers. She's good! ...children... A psychopath. She doesn't even have any empathy. Listen. Tracking and record keeping. Yes! Tracking! So many of the parents of these precious children who were murdered... Precious. Precious. Have taken the unimaginable grief

Oh this is part of it, oh brother this is part of that scheme with that they told Hillary she's got to have more empathy she's gotta laugh more Yeah, yeah. Oh yes. So they got her now bawl-screwed crying on cue crying on cue the the quiver is good And I'm gonna try and replicate it because she's my master now. She's my guru. Play it again. And have tried to be the... Have tried! Bill, can you tell me how to do that? I don't know. Well, he said he didn't have sex with that woman. It depends on what the wording and the meaning of the word is...is tried Hillary And have tried to be the voices that we need to hear Ideally what i would love to see is gun owners responsible gun owners hunters form a different organization Hunters?!

11:21 from these extremists. Extremists? Man oh man, oh boy okay that sounds pretty comprehensive to me I don't know exactly what she said, but it sounds pretty confident. She said that we need to make lists Meanwhile now i've been a big fan of that too. Of lists? Have you heard of Schindler's List? I have a checklist for travel. I have a travel checklist and I'm constantly on the kids my wife and everybody else they travel And they show up somewhere and then they go oh I forgot no checklist You didn't have a checklist Oh I forgot my blah blah where was your checklist yeah so

CHAPTER 04 / 45 Discussion

President Obama Declared Unwelcome in Roseburg, Oregon

The publisher of the Roseburg Beacon appeared on Bill O'Reilly's program to state that President Barack Obama was not welcome in the Roseburg, Oregon community following a mass shooting. Local officials, including the Douglas County commissioners and the sheriff, reportedly reached a consensus that the President should not visit for "political grandstanding." The community expressed frustration that the President politicized the tragedy before all victims were even identified.

12:00 I didn't see this myself, but it was sent to me because I don't watch Bill O'Reilly on the democratically controlled Fox News Network. But he had the publisher of The Roseburg Beacon on the show and got some local flavor and color about what people in the community of... The Oregon Community College are feeling about President Obama's using this event for political means. And there's one little gotcha at the end that I want to talk about. There is a rumor President Obama might go to Roseburg, Douglas County. The funeral will start Thursday and I guess they will extend into next week How will the president be treated if he does indeed travel to Roseburg?

12:53 Well, I think the president first of all is not welcome in the community and that isn't just my opinion. We've talked to dozens upon dozens of citizens some family members of the victims are elected officials and you may have a copy if you don't i'd be happy to read from it on the air that our Douglas County commissioners along with our Douglas County elected sheriff who was very popular and our chief of police came to a consensus language about him not being welcome here to grandstand for political purposes. Alright, alright let's just encapsulate why they don't want President Obama to come? Well the bottom line Bill is that a number of people believe that when the president opened his press conference we still have

13:40 finish counting the bodies on the campus right behind me. We haven't identified whose children were killed and whose were not, and even at that same moment he is saying some people will accuse me of politicizing this issue, and he goes on to say but it should be so he's not only acknowledged that it could be politicized he was doing so deliberately So now he wants to come to our community and stand on the corpses of our loved ones to make some kind of a political point It isn't going to be well received people, not by the families and not even by our elected officials. Interesting very interesting well if that happens Mr. Jakes we'll check back real quick real quick. Check this out now so first of all I don't know if that's really the whole community's feeling but he references the sheriff who we've discussed in great detail

CHAPTER 05 / 45 Discussion

Westboro Baptist Church Funeral Protests and Sign Marketing

The Westboro Baptist Church is discussed regarding their ability to fund frequent travel for funeral protests despite having a small congregation. The hosts speculate that the group generates revenue through the marketing and licensing of their infamous protest signs. A humorous aside explores the idea of these signs being sold as art on platforms like Etsy.

westboro baptist church· funeral protests· marketing· licensing rights· etsy

14:26 But then he adds this little thing at the end. What is it with these Westboro Baptists? Now, this is a very small congregation I think its 30 or 40 people And and somehow they have the funds, and they have the means to travel a lot of money from their signs They make money from the signs. The God hates fags signs yeah I think I'm kidding this licensing right there's licensing rights for half cell designs you can if you find their website by the signs and they have different damp posters of the signs really have this Individual science you could buy them in there now reasonably priced

15:21 And I was looking at him as items of art. Are they on Etsy? What you're gonna hang a God hates fags are in your house only what did lot of the signs are quite funny That's the one I keep seeing. Well, that's one of them but yeah they make a... Is this maybe because they go out and they protest funerals? They're marketing their signs when we see them out there If you think that's really what it's all about is the sign? It seems more to me like a feminine, where you can hire these beautiful women who will paint their topless body or their whole naked bodies in protest because you can hire those guys There was no agenda painted all over them

16:02 I wonder how much that would cost. Yeah, probably not as expensive as you think it's probably cheap relatively So don't you think it's possible that maybe there's the group just to be a-holes and show up and disrupt things? Yeah Okay Meanwhile, and I'll sell some signs yeah, I need a jingle for It's a new segment wisdom from whoopee Please no, nobody out there do that. Nobody do that! We need a sign wisdom from Whoopi Sign is different than jingle I said- uh i mean jingle we need to sign too give me a sign God hates whoopee

CHAPTER 06 / 45 Discussion

Whoopi Goldberg and The View on Gun Licensing

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar discussed gun control on The View, with Goldberg suggesting that background checks should include the mental health history of a person's entire family. Goldberg, a gun owner herself, argued for stricter tracking of households with children on the autism spectrum or with other mental health issues. The hosts mock the panel's logic, particularly the claim that it is easier to get a gun than a driver's license.

whoopi goldberg· joy behar· the view· gun laws· autism spectrum

16:44 Now, I only do this because I do truly believe The View has an audience that's all in and they listen to these women. It's such a diverse group! I mean it is such a diverse group of great women all led by Whoopi Goldberg who is a gun owner by the way But she is, most black smart black people are gun owners. And she had... She has words of wisdom for what we should do about the gun problem in the United States. You notice how everyone says this country? This is starting to irritate me it's usually tacked on that we have a conversation and this country

17:21 As if we can't say here or in America or the United States. I'm not sure why that is it's some kind of weird linguistic thing. It's an interesting observation you'll see it, it's whenever... Well I think it's because as part of a larger meme and so it incorporates like the meme So rigid that it comes out exactly the same way every time. It's also so condescending like you stand above or speak for the car I don't know as it is bugging me anyway Here's wisdom from whoopie there needs to be stricter gun laws actually this is a put this in Listen these crazy women there needs to be stricter gun laws. I have guns I'm sorry, this is um I think it's Ray what's her

18:03 What's her name? Simone, the Cosby kid. Who is on there? Yeah, academic. Okay but then listen to Joy Behar. I liked them up. Joy Behar is back that's right! Joy Behar listen to what she says she is so dumb There needs to be stricter gun laws. I have guns. Parents need to lock them up. You need to lock them up they need...I personally think you need tougher gun laws and there needs to be some type of reform It's easier to get a license to drive a car than to get a gun And no one calls her on this. It's easier to get a gun than get a driver's license, that's what she meant to say What sense does it make? It's easier to get a driver's license than a gun Moron okay here comes whoopie the biggest thing that you could do with the gun law is You need to say okay

18:53 You wanna get three, four guns? You wanna get a gun? I need to know the background of your family. Yeah! I need to make sure you don't have... Right, show turrets in your family or depression in your family. We need to put you on the list what is wrong with your family. Children in your household. You have children's in your household that are crazy like you? Crazy, they've autism do you have autism? Three-four What is it now? one in every three kids is on the so-called spectrum, which can also mean you're just spinning around walking on your tippy toes or you're incredibly intelligent. Now, you got children with autism in the home? Because they've all been... No guns for you!

19:31 You want to get three four guns you want to get a gun I need to know the background of your family. I need to make sure you don't have right children In your household that can walk over and just give the guy I need to make sure that your stuff is locked up I'm a gun owner Yeah, yeah, I mean this is not new But I'm responsible. I'm a responsible person, and yeah, I know how to do what i'm supposed to do And I don't mind them doing the background check on me. I've nothing to hide I have nothing to hide! I got nothing to hide. Oh really whoopie? I have nothin' to hide in your vagina! Oh sorry couldn't help myself play selfies iso

20:21 Where is... uh, okay? Oh my god! I didn't really love it. Oh man who was that?! Who was that!? I couldn't help myself. I got punchy around 2am and couldn't help it yeah it's um It's concerning. Is that all you got? What else can you do except for I put in the show notes just and this unfortunately now seems to be like a Karl Rove Republican talking point is hey, just repeal the second amendment so i don't feel good that was our conclusion because now yeah I don't want people... Yes it's cropping up everywhere Call us Republicans

Florida Principal Hypnotizes Students Before Suicides

The Sarasota County School District in Florida agreed to pay $600,000 to the families of three teenagers who died after being hypnotized by their school principal. The principal, George Palakas, reportedly hypnotized students to help with focus or stress before several committed suicide. The hosts compare the incident to MKUltra-style experimentation and question if the students were also on antidepressants like "The Vance" (Vyvanse).

sarasota county· hypnosis· george palakas· student suicide· mkultra

22:09 And there was a story that, and I've been trying to find like a video report. When did this happen? This is in Florida. Sarasota County School District in Florida has agreed to pay $200,000 dollars each of three families whose teens died after a principal hypnotized them. Oh great story! Do you have anything on this story? No, I got the same story. So I read the same thing some principal is into hypnosis Yeah And so he was hypnotizing kids left and right apparently You know they had like once they didn't like studying or they hated history Or yeah Well They couldn't walk in chew gum and so he hypnotized them and then for some reason to think his went off the rails killed themselves and killed Themselves and they don't know why that kid principal finally left and now he's running a bed-and-breakfast or something in West Virginia Which is a place? I wouldn't recommend going

23:02 Look at this watch I just bought. Isn't it interesting? First of all, you know the idea that you can hypnotize someone...I think we've discussed this before universally is like oh no it's not possible you can't really hypnotize people it's all a trick and here as the court saying this guy is responsible But also, if you have... and it doesn't mention in the articles I could find if these kids were on any type of antidepressants or on Adderall or Vance. It's The Vance that found out. It's not Vi-Vance, its Vance! Are you on The Vance? Do you have any Vance?

23:39 What's Vance? Vi-Vance. It's the kid, the millennial nickname for Vi-Vance. Vi-Vance is an amphetamine but they call it The Vance Is it like Adderall? It's exactly the same Oh okay well why don't they just call it Adderall Because its a different brand name and it does work differently oh sure it does It's called amphetamines. Yeah, it will work that distributes I think it distributes more evenly over the day or something Oh, it's got a time release time release. Yeah fancy because you gotta call the Vance You have any Vance on you? Do you have Vance? Hey baby, got any Vance? Let's just... you know. Okay. Since we're on the shooting I do have one question. Wait let me just finish my point! So lets just say some of these kids who committed suicide might've been on the Vance or Prozac or anything that is prescribed. Oh they'll never get discussed

24:32 But it would be very easy to make these kids crazy and go shoot up places and then shoot themselves. It seems... So now you're thinking of a hypnotist guy? It's just proving a point that it is possible. I like the idea though. Proving a point that it's possible. Some mad hypnotist, CIA rogue. MKUltra! Is out there hypnotizing kids who will shoot themselves. I'm not making MKUltra up. I know about MKUltra and its very well documented. And you want to look at MK-800 is what you want to look at. That's the medication. Okay, mm-hmm What is it? What specifically is the chemical? Oh...

MDMA Clinical Trials for PTSD Treatment

Clinical trials using MDMA (Ecstasy) to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are showing positive results in controlled therapeutic settings. The FDA is overseeing studies where soldiers and other trauma survivors use the drug to facilitate therapy. One host jokes about having PTSD to justify trying the substance, while the other warns about the potential for brain damage.

mdma· ecstasy· ptsd· fda· therapeutic setting

25:11 I said just what you want to look at. I didn't say that i was prepared to talk about it. Well, you brought it up? Okay, Ibgef... So did you see this there's a piece that just ran on some of the news networks about some guy and I think he's in West Virginia, he's down in West Virginians and he's in some one of those little smaller states where they got special permission to experiment with MDMA. No, I didn't see this Ecstasy. Yeah, yeah. I'm familiar with that. And he's using it in a therapeutic setting Isn't that what it was developed for initially? My understanding is that it was originally developed as a blood clot correction It was some sort of...it was something for your circulation I know that it wasn't even outlawed until

25:56 Well into the 90s, I think. It took a while. Yeah because and probably because hold on a second here's something we can make money off of and they've been talking about bringing it back specifically for PTSD Right! And other forms of depression Yes you know this? I knew this but didn't know the guy was experimenting in West Virginia Well i think its West Virginia I don't where he is specifically but there's this guy and they show him a lot of it and he's doing PTSD and um...and he says he cures it with most people, including soldiers. He's working with them now and the FDA is overseeing this study and he is having good results but they showed a video of it. It was that thing where you got some woman trying to get her... she has some PTSD for some reason and he's talking to her saying oh man you feel so nice! Touch me touch me! Unbelievable I gotta try this stuff one day Don't try it, its not good for your brain

26:54 Well, it's supposed to help you. Well yeah if you have PTSD I'm sure it is good for your brain in that regard because you've got some real problems but if you don't have problems and just want go on a buzz...I don't know anybody! My therapist told me yesterday that I probably have some form of PTSD Oh now you're just looking for an excuse to try it? So I get off your case. I am not kidding You might Yeah I think it would hurt the show Well, if I was on ecstasy while doing the show it might not be... God so good to do this show. Oh look at my pop screen feels so good on my lips. Mmmmm that feels good. Alright alright you've convinced me. I'll start today. We don't need that on the show! So on the way back from San Antonio from my therapy

Burger King Halloween Whopper and Green Poop Rumors

Burger King's limited-edition Halloween Whopper, featuring a black bun, became a viral sensation due to reports that it turns consumers' stool green. The hosts discuss whether the phenomenon is a result of green food dye or a clever PR stunt aimed at millennials. Despite the curiosity surrounding the "green poop" meme, both hosts find the black bun unappetizing.

27:54 Which I encourage everyone to go into some form of therapy at some point in your life. I think our show helps a lot of people Oh truly, but even the therapists need therapy John Yes And as I do you know I took junior Adam to have some junk food because that's what he likes and I stopped off at Burger King and tried...I couldn't do it! I really, really wanted to see if eating the Halloween... Oh that black burger? If it would give me green poop. I wonder what's in there. I think it's just squid ink? I don't think it's true, but I think someone came up with it or some native ad apparently up to three days after you eat the Halloween Whopper you have green poop! I do not think so... It sounds like an urban myth if ever there was. John, I bet she was a German who came up with this idea.

28:56 PR campaign that maybe it started by accident, but it's being propagated everyone go look at YouTube There's people filming their poop. I didn't know this well It's a and it makes sense because it's not gonna turn your poop they say no they say it just green dye They say its FDA regulated and approved green guy though is the black bun oh Look, maybe we should both try it. I'm not trying it! It's unappetizing. That's how...I thought I was gonna puke and like can't do it. Can't do it. I cannot eat this thing No. It's unappetizing and I've seen pictures of it and its like who would eat this? This is a black bun But don't you think this could be kind of like a PR move at this point for millennials because kids love this if you look at Twitter that was like I can't wait to try just to see if it turns my poop green

McDonald's All-Day Breakfast and Deceptive Native Advertising

McDonald's launched an all-day breakfast menu, an event covered by major news networks in a manner the hosts describe as "deceptive native advertising." A segment from KTLA in Los Angeles is highlighted where a reporter was kicked out of a McDonald's while attempting to film a promotional piece. The hosts argue that these paid segments masquerading as news are an "abomination" that ruins television integrity.

29:47 Eat beets and see if it turns your pee red. Okay, or your poopy. I'm trying to like... You know what i was trying to do? And this is the result of a non-rehearsed show. I'm trying to lead you into The McDonald Story. I'm trying to hand it to you on a silver platter. Well yeah, I appreciate that although you completely killed my segue to the clip about the shooting saying that I had to finish my thing and now you've changed the subject. Oh but after you asked me if that's all I had! All right Let's just pretend I didn't talk about that at all. No, no, I think we should go to the McDonalds too but I have the McDonalds thing set up a little differently Okay, now however you like. I have we reason what Adam was trying to do there is get me to go from green poop to McDonald's which is an interesting logical transition. It's the logical it's an interesting segue that I wasn't grabbing right away because I was a little annoyed. I'm sorry now that were on our way uh I will say this McDonald's and and we did a clip some time ago on ABC and if you could probably still find it if you look at McDonald's um ABC

30:51 Does McDonald's native ads constantly which one would you like we have a lot of them are they all McDonald's? Yeah, like new at McDonald's puff piece man that puff piece big Donald Snow strife Play any of them. Yeah, I think Burger King is dropping sugary sodas from its kids meals instead It will replace them with fat-free milk low fat chocolate milk or apple juice McDonald's and Wendy's have announced similar moves also news today that maybe it was this one We have so many this happens to be ABC all the time hold you back from breakfast Do you like them?

31:26 I do, i always get that one. Are you excited about the McGriddle being McDonald's? Oh this one! This is a great one! This is really good. This is the one on Fox Yeah it might get at 4 o'clock Wait a minute wait a minute we're being pushed off by the McDonalds oh alright! This is your clip this is the reason...this is the clip we had to play as the final clip Well, I thought that's the clip that the guy sent us. That we have to play this is people ladies and gentlemen caution caution show off the rails I'm gonna stop. I'm just gonna follow your direction you tell me let's go with let's just start with the most recent clip on ABC Nightly News. Hold you back from breakfast, do you like the Mc- And this is no Which one is this? ABC worst native ad ever Sorry I don't know what this other one is maybe it's my fault That's the clip! and McDonald's tonight finally serving up all day breakfast The menu apparently though varies by region hash browns hot cakes available in most places but the egg McMuffin not available in parts of the south where they have biscuits instead When we come back here The newest Powerball winner

32:30 Alright, that is not news that should be on the network news. No! It's an advertisement for McDonalds explaining that they have biscuits instead of muffins in certain parts of the South Right Which, you know is interesting information but McDonald's can pay for a damned ad although they did pay for a damned ad. Oh this is all... Yeah clearly paid for and they paid for that and Starbucks does the same with the pumpkin spice latte I do not want my news cluttered with native ads. I think it's an abomination Now the one that we have which is the McDonald's clip which is when you keep

33:07 kind of playing is the kicker to this story. Just so you know, John that I'm going to play it after because you just accused me the clip that you said is the one I shouldn't be playing is from March 12th So maybe it's the same damn thing! But I'm gonna play that after we played the clip that you think I was playing Well that would be interesting Thank You...I was not playing the clip you thought I was Okay, well I'll accept it Alright So here's what this is supposedly a recent clip that's been going around and it is a native ad gone bad. This is this is the local station that got the native ad gig KTLA in Los Angeles, KTLA got to get so they go into McDonald's to promote bull crap some of their new products or something and the McDonald's manager kicks them out hold you back from breakfast do you like them I do are you excited about the McGriddle being done

34:02 Yeah, I might get it at four o'clock. Wait a minute wait a minute we're being pushed off by the McDonald's Oh alright there was McDonalds controversy going on here please go along I've been shamed outside of the McDonald's Was he in the witness protection program? Wow! Is that a breaking news story there Wendy? McDonald's is stopping you We can't shoot in here Alright alright were going out private property Do they know they're our sponsor? We're coming out. Wow, good job McDonald's! I've been kicked out of McDonalds! Alright no more stories on McDonalds Oh no... Wow Well you can look in the background and go... They are so confused They don't know what to do at this point They are like What do we do There is nothing on the prompter You should start plugging iHop Yeah I know This was the faux pas

34:54 I didn't want to say it, but you did. There's iHop! Maybe you can go over to iHop and give them some free publicity all day long. Give me a break. What is wrong with you? Oh no... Well what would have been cool was if they had like some crazed kid at that very moment walk in and shoot it up That would have been great. That would've been television history Let's see what that other clip was from March 12th Burger King is dropping sugary sodas from its... That one already Then I don't know what the other one was, John. I don't know Okay well whatever the case I think we made our point and I use whatever the case liberally Which is that these native ads are ruining television They're not acceptable! They're not acceptable No

35:39 They're not acceptable. They're deceitful. They are incredibly deceitful and McDonald's is the worst offender! They are doing them as we saw, they were doing them at local stations like KTLA I think they've done them on our local stations here And they just pound us endlessly on ABC Nightly News or Network News whatever it was called NBC News Tonight or whatever it was called Anyway Alright Let me move into something serious. Well, before you do that I want to play still want to play that clip about the shooting please because it's kind of political It's a good segue thing maybe you can use it as a segway. You got it Ben Carson

CHAPTER 12 / 45 Discussion

Ben Carson Smear Campaign and Carly Fiorina

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson faced a series of negative reports in the National Enquirer and Radar Online, including allegations of surgical malpractice. The hosts speculate that rival candidate Carly Fiorina may be behind the "hit job," citing her alleged deep ties to the CIA and her controversial tenure at Hewlett-Packard. Carson's recent comments about victims of mass shootings are also analyzed as part of a broader media attack.

ben carson· carly fiorina· national enquirer· cia· neurosurgery

36:19 is under attack. And they are, there's a good even the National Enquirer's radar, even though the National Enquirer... Yeah I saw that! They're accusing him of being a crappy surgeon He left sponges in some kids head? Sponge in the brain And by the way, how does that even work? You're doing brain surgery. It's mostly done through all kinds of optics and stuff you're not cracking the guys head completely open and then leaving a sponge in there with nobody noticing really? Right. Doesn't make sense but they were out to get him because... But it happens I mean all kinds of... Somebody said this looks like a hit job to me

36:57 One of our producers suggested, and I have to agree with this. Who would benefit from this the most to get rid of this guy? Carly. And Carly Fiorina also was the CEO of HP when they had that woman who's died, the woman who is the chairman of the board, who is Patricia something...I can't quite remember her name but she's the one who sicked the private detectives on The Journalists and it was a huge scandal in Silicon Valley. Remember that? Yeah, she did when the board was all in disarray. And oh yeah! Oh yeah. And Perkins... Tom Perkins from McClainer Perkins who's a notorious venture capitalist billionaire who is married to Daniel Steele and he said it's an interesting character kind of mean-spirited guy

37:48 He quit the board of HP because of Carly and this woman. And he hated Carly, and the family, HP family hated Carly. And to accentuate how messed up it was after that whole strife Ray Lane who I know very well because my client when I had my first company Was he COO at Oracle, I think? Or president. And then later he became probably the only Republican to Kleiner Perkins and he then went on to run HP and it was disastrous! Disastrous...and Ray Lane's a pretty good operator He could not put it together

38:28 So she really messed it up there. Yeah, she's all and I believe this thesis that she's behind the Ben Carson smears She's the only one who really benefits if she has I'm trying to figure this out. I keep getting messages from producers out in the wild Who claimed that she has very high CIA clearance and it's probably because of her HP background but there's something to it that I just haven't found yet. If you look at her bio, she had a position or some cooperation agreement with the CIA and HPE. There you go! And she was doing a lot of work... She may have friends still? I think it was Hayden by the way our buddy Bald Head who was the guy who warmed up to her and provided the NSA with a bunch of computers on

39:22 uh... overnight basis with a we're designed to go to other customers and they went to the nsa instead because he needed on and she's very cooperative with the uh... intelligence agencies in would be hard for her to you know pull some strings and get an attack on ben carson going in every which way here is an edited debentures attack uh... that someone of the networks uh... I believe this was, I don't know for sure but maybe CBS. From the indications that i got they did not rush the shooter on CBS this morning Ben Carson doubled down repeating the suggestion that victims of last week's mass shooting at an Oregon Community College could have done more to protect themselves he apparently didn't know that an army veteran did in fact try to stop the shooter you know who Chris Mintz is? No

40:12 The Republican presidential candidate ignited the firestorm yesterday. I would ask everybody to attack the government because it can only shoot one of us at a time, that way we don't all wind up dead. The former neurosurgeon posted a provocative defense of the Second Amendment on Facebook writing, Some rivals like Senator Lindsey Graham took issue with Carson's remarks I just don't think that's the road to go down in terms of questioning people who have lost their lives because you have no idea what you would do. Donald Trump came to Carson's defense. The Republican presidential field has largely responded to last week's campus massacre by rejecting calls for stricter gun laws in Iowa today Hillary Clinton jumped on their rhetoric and then you've got people running for president on the other side who say well

41:05 You know, we just need more guns. Yep. So it's a hit piece? Oh obviously! Obviously and yeah they're gonna I think the sponge in the brain thing hadn't caught fire but it could happen It was also been he also one kid he operated without permission with all kinds of stuff but his National Enquirer so it's likely true Embellished because these guys are good. Yeah, but they ran it in radar which is their kind of their spin-off? It's been off the farm team I don't know that's the beta test it was actually in the National Enquirer itself

CHAPTER 13 / 45 Discussion

John McCain Criticizes Obama's Military Strategy

Senator John McCain appeared in a committee hearing to badger military leaders about the lack of a coherent strategy in the Middle East. McCain criticized President Obama for prioritizing budgetary issues over military welfare and for having a "feckless" foreign policy. The hosts suggest McCain is attempting to discredit the President to ensure the passage of the $612 billion National Defense Authorization Act.

john mccain· barack obama· ndaa· military strategy· foreign policy

41:47 So, McCain... I've been following McCain very closely and i think it started when he brought General Petraeus. As far as I know do you get to just keep calling yourself a general and wear your uniform no matter how long? Well the uniform part that seems sketchy He was wearing his full battle dress or uh no not battle dress all the ribbons and everything Yeah the ribbon dress The ribbon... All what was lacking was a sash Yes. And when we came...and he had that whole thing about Syria and he had all these nuclear, you know it's like this is worse than a nuclear war the fallout will be horrible using all these nuclear bomb terms and so there are couple things going on the first thing I'm really gonna think maybe very sinister plan at play here

42:41 This is something that is not being talked about quite that openly, although I've been waiting to read the full text. issues have not been resolved. So the President of the United States is placing budgetary issues ahead of the welfare and benefit of the men and women who are serving in the military, in their ability to defend the nation I cannot imagine a president of the United States vetoing a bill that authorizes the ability of Americans to fight this, to defend this nation under these most- Interesting uh... slip there. I'm not sure what he wanted to say but he was, to fight this- uh uh uh uh Play it again. The ability of Americans to fight this, to defend this nation Mmhmm mmhmm To fight what? Under The Nation To fight then-

43:39 To fight the nation. Yes, indeed. That's what he was gonna say. Defend this nation under these most challenging circumstances But maybe because of his failure to lead and because of his feckless foreign policy in today Maybe feels that we don't need to have the wherewithal to fight it Okay So McCain is on a mission here And I'm going to try and follow this thread all the way through so we had this This bombing of the Médecins Sans Frontières, the Doctors Without Borders Hospital which has been in this particular spot in Afghanistan for a long time. And here's spokesholder Josh Earnest

CHAPTER 14 / 45 Discussion

US Bombing of Doctors Without Borders Hospital in Kunduz

General John Campbell addressed the "tragic" US airstrike on a Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. While the military initially claimed the strike was requested by Afghan forces, Campbell clarified the decision was made within the US chain of command. The hosts express skepticism over the "mistake," noting the precision of modern GPS targeting and questioning the General's call for "in-depth training" following the incident.

kunduz· afghanistan· doctors without borders· general campbell· c-130

44:23 with the official White House statement on this bombing which was done by a US C-130. These are brave individuals who are using their skills to try to improve the lives of people that they would otherwise never come into contact with and the fact that some of those individuals lost their lives over the weekend is a profound tragedy Now listen how he spins this... And nothing less Nothing less, isn't it? A profound tragedy However scale of this tragedy is significant enough. Significant enough? But, but is it one person if one person dies its no good? Is it ten what has to be... It was twenty that's significant what does nineteen? That it demands a full investigation and you saw from the president statement that he issued over the weekend that he expects a full accounting uh...of what exactly has happened so there are actually three different investigations that are ongoing in each of these

45:18 Investigations will be aimed at trying to get as much accuracy as possible around the details transpired in the lead up to this tragedy. Okay, now here's what I know and here's what i've been conversing with some of our military producers about you can even take google earth and you can zoom in on places where there's an object and you can note the gps coordinates now this is well documented The entire theaters of war are codified with GPS coordinates. Probably the entire globe is codified with GPS coordinates, and this isn't a system when there's a lock... When there's a series of GPA... When the target is painted—and you're going to hear General Campbell talk about this in a second—

46:10 Regardless of who paints the target, who says this is it... those GPS coordinates go into the system and if there's something in there that is a friendly target or that needs to be avoided. A known structure then all kinds of bells and whistles goes off which leaves only few explanations one might be, we may hear this, cyber attack someone messed with the system It's not willy nilly! I mean, you can't believe that there's so much sophistication going on in our military yet when we toss out some bombs we're just like, ah just throw them somewhere. Pinpoint accuracy! We're completely precision strikes all of this stuff is all of a sudden now oh oops no i'm not buying that and it may be worse here's general Campbell I would like to discuss the tragic loss of lives and the strike on the hospital in Kunduz

47:08 By way of background, U.S. Special Operations Forces have been providing training advice and assistance to Afghan National Defense forces who had been engaged in a tenacious fight with the Taliban. On Saturday morning, our forces provided close air support to Afghan forces at their request. To be clear, the decision to provide aerial fires was a US decision made within the U S chain of command." So the question is, was there a break in the chain of command? Did it come all the way from the top

47:44 Where are these decisions made? Who makes the decision to do this? It went through the chain of command. A hospital was mistakenly struck, we would never intentionally target a protected medical facility I must allow the investigation to take its course and therefore i'm not at liberty discuss further specifics at this time That's the transparency you're talking about thank you However, I assure that the investigation will be thorough objective and transparent I'd also like to remind the committee and the American people that we continue to make extraordinary efforts to protect civilians. No military in history has done more to avoid harming innocents We've readily assumed greater risks to our own forces in order to protect non-combatants

48:31 To prevent any future incidents of this nature, I've directed the entire force to undergo in-depth training in order to review all our operational authorities. I don't understand this sentence. They have to undergo in depth training? To understand what happened?! I've directed the entire force to undergo in-depth training, in order to review all of our operational authorities. What? Very strange right? Wow that's a great catch! Very strange...I'm not sure what this means In order to review all of our operational authorities and rules of engagement Our record stands in stark contrast to the actions of the Taliban They've repeatedly violated the laws of war. Blame it on those guys now by intentionally targeting civilians. Oh, United Nations attributes more than 70% of the non combatants killed and wounded in this war to the Taliban. Okay? So his message is

CHAPTER 15 / 45 Discussion

Military Leadership Tensions and the NDAA Budget

Senator John McCain's interrogation of General Campbell is framed by the hosts as a coordinated effort to portray the Obama administration as incompetent. The discussion centers on the $612 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the financial interests of the military-industrial complex. The hosts argue that the Kunduz hospital bombing serves as a distraction while the massive budget bill is pushed through Congress.

john mccain· general campbell· ndaa· military budget· strategy

49:23 Strange. Strange, and he's there very much- And this is of course in front of McCain who then proceeds to pretend to badger him but just like with General Petraeus He's only doing it to make a point Most of us were taught to believe there was only one option for victory and success at the mission But you've been asked for options Dare I ask how many? Huh?! Say what? Dare I ask. Dare I ask, well dare i ask means we already agreed what you do. Ask for options really. What I've done is taken look over the last uh since I've been on the ground in the last 14 months and seen where the Afghan security forces are at and different metrics that we take a look at in order to ensure that they have the right capability... But is there only one option to achieve the most efficient, the most effective

50:22 least in danger of further casualties. I don't understand this, uh...I thought that usually my study of warfare is you develop a strategy and implement the strategy with a plan." Do you feel where he's going here John? It's not good! No well it's completely- He's trying to completely discredit the president, and remember he has the National Defense Authorization Act on the table which you know we really haven't seen everything. We need to... this is 612 billion dollars! This is the mother load this is what it's all about in this country and I said this country where we have this conversation. You don't say hey we're gonna

51:07 have five or six plans here, five or six options that we're going to pursue. Most commanders in chief that I've ever known of have called their military people together and say give me the best strategy that we can employ and what's necessary to achieve the goals of that strategy. Am I wrong somewhere? Am i getting something wrong? Leading the witness. Dick, leading the witness. I don't think...I couldn't comment if you're gettiing something wrong sir What I would say again is that provided options to take a look at outcomes. Train advise assist in a CT capability Afghanistan post 2016

51:48 So you have been giving them... CT? Counterterrorism. Counterterrorism. Oh, okay. Options plural right not... He's really trying because the general is not all that great McCain wants him to say that the president has no strategy and has asked the high command for options Yeah, McCain wants him to say something that will get him fired The general? No. He wants the general to say something that will get the General fired, that's why the General is reluctant to say anything I disagree! No no he wants the General to discredit the President That will get him fired It will not get him fired

52:30 No, this isn't... they agreed to this John. I think that-I think they agreed. You think the president agreed to this? No! McCain and the general agreed Yeah but that doesn't mean the general is still under the commander in chief he could get fired pushed aside sent to Alaska there's a lot of things you can do This sounded more like a setup to me than what you're saying Well it sounds as though he's reluctant to go along with it Well because I think McCain said all I'll do the options word you just going uh huh Well, the general kind of general won't get fired. He flubbed his lines pretty much and here's McCain trying to bring it together What most commanders-in-chief that I've ever experienced a give me give me the strategy Give me the plan see what it takes so that we can succeed in a

53:15 in the best and most efficient way to accomplish our goal. That's the American way! And we all know what a goal is, it is a free stable democratic- Bomb them! Afghanistan. Bomb them as the goal Well... It's uh... Curious times Uh but of course those of us that uh Here comes Make any criticism apparently don't know alot of things that the president of United States knows Mmhmm Okay So, I'm feeling this is a setup and I gotta tell you when you look at what's on the table it's all about money. 612 billion dollars whatever is in there this thing has to get passed It has to be pushed through we can't have alot of analysis The big distraction is oh im sorry We killed doctors, we killed kids And now we have to completely discredit the president and then McCain came onto CNN

CHAPTER 16 / 45 Discussion

Syrian Proxy War and General Petraeus's Strategy

Senator John McCain and General David Petraeus have called for a more aggressive US strategy in Syria, including the establishment of a no-fly zone. The hosts highlight the "clusterfuck" of the US supporting different rebel groups through the CIA and the Department of Defense. They warn that a no-fly zone would lead to direct military engagement with Russian aircraft, which are currently conducting strikes in the region.

syria· vladimir putin· david petraeus· free syrian army· no-fly zone

54:12 And he brought this around to Syria and I don't know, maybe it's just me. In the next two minutes it sounds like McCain is explaining the entire Syrian issue and not holding back. President Obama saying on Friday that his administration is not going to make Syria into a proxy war with Russia take a listen We're not gonna make Syria into a proxy war between the United States Russia, that would be bad strategy on our part. This is not some superpower chessboard contest." Well of course it is! And here's what McCain had to say... My question to you Senator, Is this conflict in Syria already a proxy war with Russia? Of course it is and when the president says we're not going have that right, We don't have a strategy. Excuse me, we don't have a strategy

55:13 It's a strategy. Well, it almost sounds like he's pushing for a military coup when I put this all together John It's this is there is something going on here recall the events that took place over the weekend when the president wouldn't John Kerry When we were watching this some military buildup including anti-aircraft missile batteries and fighter aircraft Isis doesn't have fighter aircraft And so that was kind of interesting, but more importantly John Kerry called Lavrov three times to find out what was going on. The president met for 90 minutes with Vladimir Putin, then 48 hours later a Russian general shows up at our embassy in Baghdad to give us an hour warning that strikes are commencing That is treating the United States with disdain and contempt And of course they are hitting the Free Syrian Army

56:07 Wow. It gets better! and Bashar Assad want to do is provide us with the choice between ISIS and Bashar Assad. But in order to that you take out the Free Syrian Army which, uh... in case of the DOD trained one it- Hold on a second! This is the problem We have rebels, one group of rebels is financed and run by the CIA. And the other group of rebels is run by the Department Of Defense! No wonder it's all- It's a clusterfuck I've never heard that admitted either John

56:59 Yes, this guy's got a big mouth. Which in the case of the DOD-trained one group is now down to four or five approximately nine million dollars each. Hillary Clinton broke with President Obama this week she called for a no fly zone over Syria president Obama was asked about that and he said there's a difference between running for president and being president who do you side with on this idea of a no fly zone Secretary Clinton or President Obama? Here she comes Well, obviously Secretary Clinton but more importantly General David Petraeus testified before the Senate Office of the Affairs Committee not too many days ago where he really laid out a strategy of what we need to do. Many of us have been calling for for a long time. Okay so we have the... Hold on a second let me just ask you an obvious question So at this point

57:52 They want to create a no-fly zone so if a Russian jet, which are flying all over the place flies around they're gonna blow the Russian jets out of the air? They will engage. Is that what they're advocating? That's what Petraeus advocated yes! Yes Then what are these people clinically insane? Yes Hello captain obvious He really laid out a strategy of what we need to do which many of us have been calling for for a long time And listen to his candor and his demeanor. He is very relaxed normally he's like I can't believe it man this president, but now he's done I'm really calm because I think I've got it all in the pocket

58:28 Stop the barrel bombing, establish a no-fly zone. Arm the Kurds get some forward air controllers at work there build up the Free Syrian Army again and It's not too late. This flood of refugees is a direct result of our failed policy. Okay... A year ago, the president said our goal was to grade and destroy ISIS. To grade? Like they're in Common Core? No! We've made no progress there and of course we now see Vladimir Putin inserting himself into the Middle East in a way that Russia has not been since Anwar Sadat

59:06 Threw the Russians out in 1973, he is maintaining his base and he is now dictating the pace of events in Syria which is a course an abdication of American leadership. Alright! Abdication of American leadership I think the other boot, so to speak is yet to drop but with... Well i think the funny clip which she didn't bring up. Which is really the telling clip. I consider it my clip This is the one that is not being, you can find this story but you will not find it on any of the networks news. You didn't find it on any those talk shows and you didn't hear McCain talk about it but this is the real issue right here suppressed story about Russia

CHAPTER 17 / 45 Discussion

Iraq Requests Russian Airstrikes Against ISIS

Iraq's Parliament Defense and Security Committee head, Hakeem al-Zamili, indicated that Iraq may soon request Russian airstrikes against ISIS on its soil. The Iraqi government reportedly views US-led coalition efforts as ineffective and prefers the intelligence-sharing mechanism established between Russia, Iran, and Syria. The hosts suggest this move exposes the failure of US policy and the reality that the US has been using ISIS as a mercenary force.

iraq· russia· isis· hakeem al-zamili· intelligence sharing

58:28 Stop the barrel bombing, establish a no-fly zone. Arm the Kurds get some forward air controllers at work there build up the Free Syrian Army again and It's not too late. This flood of refugees is a direct result of our failed policy. Okay... A year ago, the president said our goal was to grade and destroy ISIS. To grade? Like they're in Common Core? No! We've made no progress there and of course we now see Vladimir Putin inserting himself into the Middle East in a way that Russia has not been since Anwar Sadat

59:06 Threw the Russians out in 1973, he is maintaining his base and he is now dictating the pace of events in Syria which is a course an abdication of American leadership. Alright! Abdication of American leadership I think the other boot, so to speak is yet to drop but with... Well i think the funny clip which she didn't bring up. Which is really the telling clip. I consider it my clip This is the one that is not being, you can find this story but you will not find it on any of the networks news. You didn't find it on any those talk shows and you didn't hear McCain talk about it but this is the real issue right here suppressed story about Russia

59:58 Iraq may request Russian airstrikes against Islamic State on its soil soon as the country wants Moscow to have a bigger role than the US in the war against militant group. That is according to the head of Iraq Parliament's Defense and Security Committee on Wednesday. Hakeem al-Zamili said that decision may be made in coming few days or weeks depending on Russia success in Syria air strikes Baghdad views US-led coalition airstrikes are ineffective and hopes Moscow could play a bigger role in fighting against ISIL. Zamele also hoped the intelligence sharing mechanism between Russia, Iraq, Iran and Syria could transform into a joint operation in the future to fight against ISIL. There's an interesting little foreign policy flub. So the way I see it

1:00:52 So, the military is in Syria with the Defense Department. The CIA is in Syria. Those two they must be at odds with each other. Well if we're going to go back to our original thesis and the old report, the CIA is ISIL... Yes And they are in Syria? And this is what I think is causing the big stir. We can't start killing our own guys, yeah! Because they're mercenaries... And everybody talks about oh you know we were ineffective against ISIL because we are ISIL which is what Iraq has now figured out

1:01:35 This is a really screwed up situation and I think McCain is...I think not what you're thinking. I think McCain has just given up. Oh, okay now the way I judge it... That would account for his demeanor too The way I judge it as he has not given up. I'm going to say that this attack, this mistaken bombing of hospital was not a mistake It's just not a mistake. It was meant to show incredibly crappy leadership, abdication of American leadership... He used that word, abdication of American leadership and all this while the National Defense Authorization Act needs to be passed and it may just only be about the money? You say hey you don't know what you're doing let us do it we've got it down we just need you to pass well you're not going to pass this? And then Vladimir Putin... By the way Vladimir Putin

CHAPTER 18 / 45 Discussion

Vladimir Putin's Geopolitical Strategy and the Checkers Meme

The hosts discuss Vladimir Putin's recent moves in Syria and Ukraine, noting his ability to fill power vacuums left by the United States. They mock the White House's "checkers vs. chess" meme, which attempts to downplay Putin's strategic intelligence. Additionally, a report from Moldova details the arrest of smugglers attempting to sell radioactive cesium to ISIS, raising concerns about "dirty bomb" threats.

vladimir putin· crimea· moldova· cesium· checkers vs chess

1:02:28 Come on, man. It's not that far to Russia! He doesn't want the crazy... I am actually stunned that Putin didn't get into this deal earlier. It's his guy- I think he was smart to wait. I think it was very smart to wait. Well, I mean, he did kind of get in when he took care of the gas canister. Let's look at some other history. Let's look at Ukraine So, what happened when McCain...again McCain and what's-her-face Noodle Bucket, Victoria Nuland. They went in and they set up the putsch. They set up the takeover of the Ukrainian government. And subsequently... Brenner was roaming around which is the one that really makes you roll your eyes. And subsequently Putin gets Crimea. You'd almost think McCain is working for Putin the way he does things and the way it rolls

1:03:29 Oh, so Putin just waited? Thank you. You created all that vacuum over there I'm gonna jump into Crimea Hey thanks for creating this crazy vacuum over here in Syria I'm just gonna move in It was ours all the time And then this report, this is a good one. Armed police arrest a man in Moldova another swoop by the authorities in Eastern Europe cracking down on groups selling radioactive material to Middle Eastern extremists In the suspect's car is cesium, a deadly chemical and they're showing a glass vial John, a glass vial wrapped in a handkerchief This is... this is cesium. He was specifically seeking a buyer from the Islamic State group

1:04:12 This incident happened in February 2015. Authorities working with the FBI have foiled three other similar attempts in the past five years by gangs with suspected Russian connections. Moldovan police have repeatedly gone undercover to infiltrate deals, the country has become a thriving black market in nuclear materials driven by criminal organisations. Though some have been arrested, the kingpins of the deals have escaped capture and evaded long prison sentences. So this hasn't caught fire yet I'm not sure why but to have smugglers selling cesium to ISIS so they can make nuclear bombs? Come on! Is it that easy John? I have no idea

1:05:08 I have no expertise in selling cesium. And the white...I don't think that's, you know, but a dirty bomb is all he could get out of that. And the White House is so clueless and I think this really shows they were caught off guard by all this like one-two punch They're so clueless that they're reverting back to stupidest memes ever But there was one premise of your question that I would disagree with I don't think President Putin is playing chess, he's playing checkers. Please really? No we said this gag! We back to that again. There are a bunch of editorial cartoons showing that Like really? It was like Putin sitting on one side of the chest table and Obama has got a checkers piece on his side Yeah And then he moves it and says king me or something you know whatever...and uh...

1:05:59 Somehow I think we first heard that meme like it was a while ago. It was a mmm was it five years ago at least is old Let me see hmm, it was McCain. I think who said No, it was Obama actually here. It is this is January 29th so let me move you on to the other big story that we've had and that is your reach out or Cuba's reached to you and your reach to... Ah fuck, I don't want to go through the whole thing but apparently Obama says Putin is no chess master he's playing checkers. So they use that in January. Huh? And oh here it is another one in February. I dunno what this is. Uh, I do think it is- Nah, I don't care But its an old meme and they're just resurrecting it That's pathetic

CHAPTER 19 / 45 Discussion

Toyota Trucks in ISIS Propaganda and US Treasury Inquiry

The US Treasury Department has asked Toyota to help explain how ISIS acquired hundreds of brand-new Hilux pickups and Land Cruisers seen in propaganda videos. ABC News' Brian Ross reported on the "truck of choice" for terrorists, while Toyota claimed it cannot control indirect or black-market sales. The hosts suggest the sudden media focus on Toyota is a coordinated effort to protect the American auto industry or exert economic pressure on the Japanese automaker.

toyota· hilux· isis· brian ross· us treasury department

1:06:52 I'd say it's really pathetic and then on all of this something that we've been talking about for maybe a year at this point About the Nike shoes and the Toyota vehicles. I actually have a clip that runs down the entire Toyota story I would love to hear this And this was on ABC, and I think this is the most complete report. And it has all the humor from our perspective of this story that because we spotted the Toyota trucks when...I don't know how long ago? It must have been a year ago! No way longer than that really and it was what it was before ISIS

1:07:33 It's when we started, there was these incursions of this kind of... I think it was even maybe during the bomb crisis. We started seeing these Toyota trucks everywhere with the good guys and bad guys had them and they had a machine gun mounted on the back of their truck. And they were brand new! Not all of them. The ones on parade when we were talking about it, they're all shiny? Yes those are all brand new but I'm talking about the early days when we first started seeing the Toyota logo everywhere. Okay gotcha now this is on ABC so there's an element and you'll hear it at the beginning of the report of native advertising although I don't know if they sold anything to Toyota but they may as well have with the way they start this report when they go to the correspondent

1:08:13 We turn now to a question being asked by American authorities after so many videos and images of ISIS. U.S. counterterrorism officials asking why are ISIS fighters driving so many similar trucks, and where are they getting them from? Look at these images. ISIS fighters riding in Toyota pickups and Toyota Land Cruisers Authorities now asking the automaker can they help officials figure out why ISIS has so many Toyotas? ABC's Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross looking for answers to this The Toyota Hilux pickup is one tough truck As the BBC Auto Show Top Gear demonstrated Here it is! Seemingly indestructible

1:09:00 Which has made the Toyota Hilux a truck of choice in war zones around the world Including by Isis. I loved how he said it's the truck of choice for all terrorists around the world Get your Toyota Hilux now Now with special machine gun 50 caliber mounts their propaganda videos show convoys made up mostly of Toyota Hilux pickups as its member was it jump for Toyota wasn't that the campaign and I don't remember that. Land Cruisers and now ABC News has learned that a US Treasury counter-terrorism unit is asking Toyota to help them determine how so many of its trucks, both newer and older models have ended up in the hands of ISIS And please pay no attention to the weapons they're using, the tents they use or any other material which is all U.S stuff

1:09:48 Yeah, all US stuff. How do they get it? In the US State Department by 45 of them and ship them over somewhere I Could be just stolen former American diplomat Mark Wallace who now runs the counter-extremism Project says he suspects Isis supporters are buying many of the trucks from Toyota dealerships and then turning them over to the terror group. We believe that sales are being diverted from these dealerships in order to support ISIS I think it's a concern of the United States government and our allies The Iraqi ambassador to the United States says ISIS has hundreds of brand new Toyotas in its fleet How could they, these four wheel drives with hundreds of them where are they coming from?

1:10:30 Toyota says it does not know how Isis is getting its vehicles and that it's impossible to control indirect or black market sales. But no one from Toyota would agree to appear in our report, and when we went to last month's big Toyota dealer meeting in Las Vegas hotel security officials flashed lights into our camera lens and ordered us to stop taping...or else. If you could just walk right out this way And Brian with us now, we just want to make this clear. Toyota says it doesn't know how ISIS is getting its hands on these trucks That's right David in a statement to ABC News Toyota says it is not aware of any of the steelerships violating the company policy not to sell to terrorist groups All of this Dave is part of a broad US effort by the Treasury Department to keep ISIS from using his huge supply of cash to equip and resupply Its terrorist army. Alright Brian Ross your team thank you

1:11:22 So, this is a comedy show. You know it's just I cannot believe for a single second just like Volkswagen where the Volkswagen fraud was known for at least a year in public domain by the BBC not by any just show but by Newsnight This is not like news to these people there's a reason why its happening right now You can't tell me that all of these analysts and military personnel, but only now they're saying hmm. There's a lot of Toyota trucks there Hmm come on is it Chevy truck month yet? Maybe it's maybe it's the sale for an effort you know to switch out What do you think it is I don't think they're gonna suit well Well we've been we've seen attacks on Toyota before yep with the out-of-control cars and all the rest up oh

1:12:12 I have no idea. I just know it did happen, just happened although they obviously picked up on the idea a little while ago since they went to the Toyota dealers thing last month and that means that story had to be underway at least two or three weeks ago maybe longer but all came in once and didn't come with just ABC at once It came with all of them Every network every meme on the internet all the tweets and everything is bang bang bang bang bang all within the last few days It wasn't like three weeks ago when they obviously got not could there be do you think that could be economic sanctions or there? Could be some something done against Toyota. I couldn't harm Toyota other than it's not gonna be able to do anything

1:12:54 I don't know what the point of it is. I don't know, i have no idea. I don't think this is an accident. I just...I don't think it's an accident either not because the stories are so pre-prepared weeks and weeks ago obviously from what he said And all came together at the same time all within the last week All of a sudden every news outlet bang bang bang bang bang just like clockwork When you see coordination like that in the news media something sums up right sums up somebody pushing the button So, but we have to think about it more and then we'll come up with it. We always get to the bottom of everything. Yeah. It seems a bit far fetched I think all this is coordinated for the American auto industry. It does seem far-fetched and pretty desperate

I think he would like some karma Okay happy to hand that out too no problem You've got Karma Now we have an example of this which I think it one our best shows for the random number theory where all out of the blue A bunch of people do the same thing

I'm moving around here. Here it is! That's what he's talking about where you're prepping looking for the notes you're not prepared He said that at the one hour and 38 minute into the program, Adam mentioned the is all handwritten. The something executive project maneuver it was about behavioral science in other words brainwashing. Okay something around we didn't change behavior or modification to brainwashing anyway want to thank him let's give him some karma for being so grumpy you've got karma

CHAPTER 21 / 45 Discussion

European Migrant Crisis and Local Backlash in the Netherlands

Citizens in a small Dutch village protested the expansion of a local asylum seeker center, leading to an attack on an official's car. The hosts discuss the growing tension in Europe as quotas for migrants are increased against local wishes. They also mention a Kickstarter campaign by the UN Refugee Agency that uses emotional imagery of infants to solicit donations for those traveling to the Austrian border.

netherlands· migrant crisis· refugees· asylum seeker center· kickstarter

1:28:46 We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Shut up slave! There you go I've discovered something that might be interesting about the migrant crisis which is really coming to a head In The Netherlands there were very angry crowd of citizens of this rather small village

1:29:25 who were promised that they would only... I think initially it was, we're going to set up an asylum. They called it Asylum Seeker Center But of course this will be used for the migrants sometimes now called refugees in Euro land and Initially, they said we're gonna have 1400. Now you have to understand that there's a number of these I can see this oh yeah, and you know there's a There's a sports ground at your parents don't want their kids to go You know play soccer there anymore because now because of migrants Refugees whatever you want to call? They're worried and so they and this is before

1:30:05 any of this, you know the Middle East migration took place. They had already agreed with lawmakers okay we'll make it 700 and then they said well you know we got this problem we have to take our quota of these people so we're moving back up to 1400 and people lost their BS And they attacked an official car, like some local official attacked their car. What country is this? The Netherlands, Holland. Oh yeah! There's just... people do not

1:30:43 It's interesting, there is a Kickstarter now which is run by Kickstarter and the United Nations. The United Nations Refugee Agency I wanted to clip it but there really nothing there but the way its portrayed you see people who want to walk to the Austrian border or they want to get to the Austrian border 180 kilometers and then they have infants Of course, this is what's shown in the video. And what was fascinating to me is they decided at a certain point after four days of camping out and they're saying hey you know they lied to us they said they were going to take us they put us on trains to camps haven't heard that before in Europe and so we're not going to walk and so then yeah the kids have blisters their crying there falling down there's nothing to eat and they're walking on this side of the highway

1:31:32 And they are just cars, just going by and no one gives a crap. No one gives a crap! The Europeans I'm generalizing are assholes it's really incredible but of course is all born out of fear and misunderstanding they don't know what is going on. Just take the other side of this, I did see some interesting stories that were Europeans that were going out of their way to help people and making a fuss about the fact that what you're saying is generally true but they were helping. But there was a minority... Adamus Then the migrants attacked them and stole their food and pushed into the ground. John That would make the story more interesting. Adamus Well, that's happening. There are all kinds of... John I'm sure it does. Everybody is a good person

CHAPTER 22 / 45 Discussion

George Soros Funding Migrant Information Networks

Research into the website w2eu.info, which provides maps and advice for migrants entering Europe, reveals it is funded by organizations linked to George Soros. The hosts trace the funding from the Migrants' Rights Network to bordermonitoring.eu. They argue that Soros is intentionally creating "chaos" in Europe to profit from market fluctuations, a strategy they term "trading on chaos."

george soros· w2eu· bordermonitoring.eu· open society· migrant rights network

1:32:21 But here's what I stumbled onto. If you go to W2, number 2, EU dot info Now, we've been trying to figure out who was providing the information. You know? Was it a secret map that some of these guys go into the camp in Turkey and say hey, we're going to open up the doors and you know I gotta get out and move on... And these people they have smartphones, they have Wi-Fi devices, their deafness... Give me the URL again W2, that's number two E U dot info Independent information for refugees and migrants coming to Europe. And this is a full site with maps, with addresses... Nice! What you get, this is good find. Well wait until you find out who's behind it. Ha ha

1:33:09 So, w2eu.info provides information to refugees and migrants that might be useful on their journey to and through Europe we want to give access to counseling and useful contacts in different European countries. I wonder how they expect these people get to Iceland which is on the map but okay... But every country you would need is in here Wow, this is a great one. Isn't it? Oh yeah! Here active participation spread this site and link it we are always in need of translators from English into French Arabic and Farsi the web guide as a work-in-progress if you have any other special information don't hesitate to send us your material now on the about that is the about

1:33:52 Let me see, is there anything about them specifically? Traces Through Europe is a growing exhibition starting at the outer borders of the Europe. It's called Traces Through Europe Traces through Europe is telling the story of those who are on their journey through Europe to talk about successful arrivals without a fingerprint registered and about Their precarious future of forced return. A book in a documentary in this deal So I did some research on this and it turns out that this is because I did some who is lookups you know the typical stuff it's not all that hard to do and it turns out that this is run by bordermonitoring.eu so we should probably go to border... border... border monitoring dot eu and but I think this is multiple language site or you can at least translate it uh, is in German only? In German no can't be um but they they claim to be the

1:34:55 the parent organization. And so I dove into that one and guess who was funding bordermonitoring.eu, and thus subsequently w2eu.info? Okay you can already guess Soros yep It's part of the Migrants' Rights Network, migrantsrights.org and they provide the funding to bordermonitoring.eu and thus are the ones creating this information for you The refugees yeah encouraging it think we're encouraging and giving in the map giving them the entire The entire plan how these guys could do all this and and you know your thesis which we talked about a couple shows ago Is that why is no? Why does a guy like Soros do this, and it's to create this massive confusion He wanted money. You wanted chaos if you know how to trade on chaos Which he doesn't art yeah

1:35:56 You can make millions and billions. He may probably make a fortune on this deal And what would the investment be or how would he do that? I don't know because i don't know how to trade on chaos, but is this a known term trade on chaos? I like it a lot! I don't know if it's a known term but people trade on different kinds of things and Chaos would be one of them I like it. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, the guy's unbelievable. He's all over it! Beck was right! The only thing Glenn Beck was ever right about... And because you know we got him fired from Fox because he was saying whenever you whenever you say oh George Soros open society and so people go are your conspiracy theorists crazy well not really

CHAPTER 23 / 45 Discussion

Lebanon Refugee Crisis and Trading on Chaos

Lebanon is reportedly at a breaking point, with one in four residents now a refugee due to the Syrian Civil War. The hosts discuss the potential for financial experts like Horowitz to explain how investors can "short" government bonds during periods of extreme social instability. They reiterate the concept of "trading on chaos" as a primary motivator for globalist funding of the migrant crisis.

lebanon· syrian civil war· government bonds· chaos trading· horowitz

1:36:39 Bitch about the Koch brothers It's really unbelievable It's funny that you mentioned that the all conspiracy theory a conspiracy theory in this thing and then Soros is behind everything But meanwhile, that same person will be on board with all the Koch brothers. Oh, yeah exactly They're finding out that Republicans they horrible was not discussed as the situation in Lebanon This is the front line in the refugee crisis after more than four years of civil war in Syria neighboring Lebanon says it can no longer act as a buffer zone for those fleeing the fighting As Europe worries about its crisis, one is at breaking point here. Where 1 in 4 of the population is now a refugee and there's no official places for these families to go so often they end up living in unsafe abandoned buildings They live wherever they can and as months turn into years tensions with the local population are increasing Yeah what could possibly go wrong with that?

1:37:40 Nothing. I think you can, I'm trying to...I was thinking ever since you brought that question what can you trade? I think you could trade on bonds. I think in short bonds government bonds This is something we could bring up with Horowitz. I'm gonna talk to Horowitz Trade on chaos is a good term and I'm gonna copyright it for you Okay thank y'all write a book Right after the vinegar book a little bit. He can't wait for that small book it won't be a Chaos so maybe it's appropriate now to play the the most recent performance from Nigel Farage in the Starfleet command there was a link to and the show notes if you want to hear it on your own machine sometime But I think I thought it was a gem, and it had that's where he got the picture In the newsletter you see the picture of

Nigel Farage Criticizes German Dominance in the EU

UKIP leader Nigel Farage delivered a scathing speech to the European Parliament, accusing Germany of dominating Europe through an undervalued Euro and aggressive trade policies. Farage argued that the EU has shifted from a project of peace to one of power, leaving countries like France and Greece diminished. He predicted that a "Brexit" is increasingly likely as the British public seeks to regain control over their borders.

nigel farage· angela merkel· brexit· eurozone· greece

1:38:21 and murk all on a lot of that no one is leaning away from our you know this body language things so obvious in the middle line got up later in just wrote gave up he gave a pretty good speech kind of trying to counter what for us said but it was mostly use of the kind of utopian types beach and and what farage does here is he really leans into the violent past love of europe in particular between France and Germany. Yes, he's trying to goad them And we know that if you want strife in Europe all you gotta do is have Germany attack France That's how it always starts Have we done this twice in a row? It also goes back far enough that French attacked the Germans I mean Napoleon was not attracted by the Germans He was not a nice guy Yeah it goes back and forth Thank You

1:39:14 Nobody in their right mind would not agree that it was a sensible thing to do, to get France and Germany together round the table. To break bread with each other, to have a trade deal with each other back in the 1950s and work as sovereign democratic nations for peace. All of that was absolutely right-and high minded. Sadly, the whole thing has become corrupted Tony Blair said the EU today is no longer about peace, it is about power and how right he was and how that power has shifted. When Kohl and Mitterrand came here representing their countries 25 years ago, it was a partnership of equals but no longer France is now severely diminished

1:39:55 trapped inside a currency, frankly from which he can't recover. And the French voice in this relationship and in Europe is little more now frankly than a pipsqueak We're living. I'm not sure is there another historical, tried to find it another historical meaning behind Pipsqueak? Is that something horrible about someone who buckled the pressure for Hitler or something? I don't think so. I think it's really just a common term that she was the means of little diminished person as little man squeaking. Wait how tall is Farage had said this up yet his song of his stickers Independence Party stickers and then he had a bunch of people behind hit a whole group

1:40:35 Around him that was just chortling and clapping at everything. He said holand is 5-7 does that count as a pipsqueak? I don't think so really ah Five seven for a male you can be borderline petite mail it to you know T fossil heat mail email Hi, welcome to the gap yes, do anything for petite males That's an actual term chip and in Europe is little more now frankly than a pip squeak The Brits liked it. Living, and it's an irony isn't it? I didn't know he was 5'7", so that wasn't insults. Project that was designed to contain German power has now given us a totally German dominated Europe Just look at the Euro

1:41:23 Germany has a currency that is undervalued by 20%. A growing and massive trade surplus. And most growth in the German economy since the collapse of 2008, has indeed been in exports to other Eurozone countries such as your very big arms sales to countries like Greece And when we have a general election that says a country like Greece wants to change direction, well I'm sorry but that now must be brushed aside because the Germans don't want it. And it what must count as perhaps the worst piece of public policy seen in modern Europe for half a century when you compounded the already failing and flawed EU common asylum policy by saying to the whole world, please come to Europe. We saw frankly virtually a stampede

1:42:13 And we learn that 80% of those that are coming are not Syrian refugees. In fact, what you've done is to open the door to young male economic migrants many of whom I have to say behave in a rather aggressive manner quite the opposite to what you would ever expect to see from any refugee and yet when that failure When that failure is met by objections from countries like Hungary, their opinions are crushed. This isn't a Europe of peace it's a Europe of division it's a Europe of disharmony It's a Europe that has a recipe for resentment and yet

1:42:53 Faced with all this failure, both of you said the same thing today. You said Europe isn't working so we must have more Europe! More of the same failing? Well there is I think a bright star on the horizon it's called the British referendum And given that none of you want to concede Britain the ability to take back control over our own borders, a Brexit now looks more likely than at any point in modern time. I hope and pray that Britain voting to leave the European Union will be the beginning of the end of a project however noble its original intentions has gone rotten.

Boots on the Ground Report from Hamburg, Germany

A listener report from Hamburg, Germany, describes the disparity between the treatment of German retirees and new immigrants. While senior citizens receive approximately 650 euros a month in social security, new migrants reportedly receive 800 euros. The report notes that many German retirees are forced to scavenge for bottles to survive, while the general populace remains supportive of migrants due to "national guilt" from World War II.

hamburg· germany· social security· immigrants· national guilt

1:43:39 We have a boots on the ground report from Germany. Oh good! Sir Kelby Koenig, who says he's the self-proclaimed future JCD I think it's a compliment Hi Adam fortunately we couldn't attend the Boulder meetup this year i had a flight that night to germany while traveling i fell behind of The Best Podcast in Universe looking forward to hearing some real deconstruction seeing Germany and the migrants firsthand was very interesting While in Hamburg I saw hundreds of immigrants walking the streets And he did exactly what a No Agenda producer was, you know. He goes up and talks to them so when asked about their feelings towards the mass immigration every German citizen replied the same way they said these people are hurting and need help this is the I think this is the national guilt that Germans have from yeah World War II

1:44:27 That felt good about helping others in need. Their only complaints were that senior citizens of Germany receive around 650 euros a month for social security, these new immigrants receive 800 euros a month even though they've never worked in Germany in their life! It was sad to see a person in retirement digging through trash bins for plastic bottles to be recycled. A person who worked their whole life and gave to the government for their future retirement, and they have to spend any free time dumpster diving to make ends meet." The other complaint was that the reason these poor people were even traveling to EU is because of the damn Russians! They're all in there on the Russian's being all over world problems

CHAPTER 26 / 45 Discussion

German Industrial Decline and Volkswagen Integrity

Germany's industrial orders fell by 1.8% in August, signaling a potential downturn for "Brand Deutschland." The ongoing Volkswagen emissions scandal is cited as a major factor in the loss of perceived integrity for German manufacturing. Chancellor Angela Merkel is reportedly visiting India to bridge the economic gap caused by slowing demand from China and the fallout from the VW cheating scandal.

germany· volkswagen· industrial orders· angela merkel· emissions scandal

1:45:07 That's a, yeah I didn't expect that. That is very good report! I didn't expect that at all and i thought it was good too And then of course we have this report which could be posturing but its something I expected on the heels of the Volkswagen scandal For so long the world's manufacturer of choice Germany known for quality you could trust But is that about to change? It's a spectre raised by shock fall in industrial orders, down 1.8% in August despite predictions of 0.5% rise. NAB's Nick Parsons. Germany is doing what everyone classically does in this situation which is to blame the lack of overseas demand now this may work for one country individually but of course an aggregate it's mathematically and logically impossible for it to be everyone else's fault

1:46:00 China's slowdown is no doubt having an effect. Hence Angela Merkel's visit to India in the hope they'll go some way to bridging the gap But brand Germany is suddenly not such an easy sell, says Parsons as the VW emissions scandal continues to deepen. I don't think it's under threat terminally but it certainly tainted in the very short term. Germany if it stood for anything was quality and integrity now the quality is undoubted its the integrity where there are question marks and it'll be interesting to see the extent to which customers really do care about that

1:46:36 or whether they just want the quality, whatever the price and to hell with the consequences. Volkswagen shares fell 3% in early trading after a letter showed it had cheated emissions tests on 8 million vehicles in the EU. Brand Deutschland...in trouble! Yeah, interesting There is something good that Volkswagen did. Volkswagen owns Porsche And I was reading about the...I don't remember when our producer sent this to me. Reading about the new, the 2017 Porsche 911 and let's see where i can find this So you know everyone is working on the cool in-car stuff and we have borderline tech news like Apple's CarPlay

CHAPTER 27 / 45 Discussion

Porsche Rejects Android Auto Over Data Collection

Porsche decided not to include Android Auto in its 2017 911 model due to Google's extensive data collection requirements. The contract reportedly required the vehicle to transmit speed, throttle position, and engine revs back to Google. Porsche opted for Apple CarPlay instead, as Apple only requires the car to confirm whether it is in motion.

porsche· android auto· google· data privacy· apple carplay

1:47:28 I didn't know this but there is Android auto. Are you familiar with this product? Android Auto? I'm not familiar with it, but i know about it Okay Everyone's trying to get into everyone's trying to get into the act So here's what here's what and I will I'm gonna build Germany up. I'm going to build them up here No technical so this is that this is motor trend actually isn't more I never read Motor Trend no technological reason that the new doesn't have Android Auto playing through its massively upgraded PCM system. What is PCM? Personal Car Management or something like that? Something like that So why doesn't it have it as part of the agreement any automaker has to enter with Google when you want to put Android Auto in Porsche said certain pieces of data

1:48:13 are required by the contract to be collected and transmitted back to Mountain View, California. Vehicle speed, throttle position, coolant oil temp engine revs pretty much the entire OBD2 dump whenever someone activates auto Android Porsche said nope they're not going to do it They did of course go with Apple The only thing Apple Play needs know is if the car is moving So that's... That's pretty uh... That's pretty evil I'd say of Google Well, they're just data junkies. It's horrible. And anyone who... So if you have a car with Android Auto then you know- Nobody does! They will. I don't think that with those requirements nobody is going to put up with that crap. Let's see. We shall see. Now since we are talking about autos might as well bring in this little background on the crap they use in these diesel engines. Mark Lopicola one of our producers sent us a note because he apparently drives a diesel

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Problems for Truck Drivers

A truck driver provides a "user perspective" on Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), which the EPA mandated for truck engines in 2012. The fluid, which is primarily urea, reportedly freezes in cold temperatures and emits a strong odor similar to cat urine. Drivers face significant performance issues, including "limp mode," if the DEF system fails or if the engine's "regen" soot-cleaning process is interrupted.

def· diesel exhaust fluid· epa· trucking· urea

1:49:15 And I'll read it. I've been driving truck. Yeah, driving truck that's how you talk about it? I didn't know that yeah we discussed this last tour when I was in Idaho. I did remember vividly and you drive a truck. I can't remember anything since 2004 is my experience with the dreaded death diesel exhaust fuel. It's their green stuff In 2012, the EPA forced truck engine manufacturers to build these DEF systems into their engines. One more hoop to jump through my slave training exercises I guess... Trucks lost 50 gallons of fuel carrying capacity to gain a 14 gallon DEF tank! And cold winters like two years ago? DEF freezes solid!!!

1:49:56 The pumps of the fuel stations freeze. The five-gallon bottle product has to be stored inside the truck or it will freeze and, of course, the tanks of the trucks freeze Oh and if you don't want to store DEF inside the cab of the truck because it stinks like piss! Cat piss apparently Because is mostly urea Every so often, the engine had to perform a regen which means the truck must remain running for half an hour or so around 1,000 RPM. The truck has to be parked as well." This is all like...this reminds me of all these greenies in Berkeley they put in all these bike lanes and now the traffic doesn't move and it's just sitting there idling pumping out all kinds of noxious gases which wouldn't be happening if the cars were actually going from point A to point B instead of sitting there but okay

1:50:46 That's my thing by the way, I just got off track. The truck has to be parked as well. The regen is supposedly to run as it...as the truck is moving but that's hit or miss. The process cleans out the soot in the exhaust stack and again it stinks to high heaven! So much for California and New York no idle laws Some manufacturers allow the truck to run without def others will cause the engine performance to degrade. I had this happen once in the 401 in Canada, 25 miles an hour it was all I could do for speed. This performance may also occur if you decide to skip the regen procedure." I thought you might want a user perspective on death so... Very nice. Very nice. It's like someone driving around with this crap. Very nice. I didn't know anything about it! I didn't even realize that you can fill that up at certain gas stations. I've never seen this. I guess we go to truck stop they probably have a pump for it

Rentboy.com Raid and Potential Political Blackmail

The Department of Homeland Security raided the male escort site rentboy.com, seizing servers containing decades of customer data. The investigation began under then-US Attorney Loretta Lynch and has already resulted in the outing of David Geithner, brother of former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. The hosts suggest the FBI and DOJ now possess a massive "blackmailing database" of high-profile clients and politicians.

1:51:39 If you're driving truck, you do. You drive in truck? You drive in truck! Now while your driving a truck get other truck drivers by the way to listen to NOAJEN it's perfect show for trucks. Perfect for... well we have a number of uh truck drivers They don't have enough Well maybe they're just not vocal but we haven't for sure SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Big supporter of the show big big research supporter Brian the gay crusader from Chicago. Yeah, and He reminded me about the takedown of rent boy calm and we didn't talk about this But did you know surely? You've missed it? Yeah I missed it. No, I mean you miss rent boy calm anyway no I missed his story yeah, mr. M boy now so rent boy calm is Was has been running since 1997

1:52:37 And, you know, pretty small operation but $10 million in revenue according to most reports. And it's no different from Craigslist ads or what do we have? Backpage... There are lots of places where you can hire escorts they focus specifically on male escorts so they were rated by federal officers. Rent boy I get it! Yes were raided by not the FBI but Department of Homeland Security. Although, FBI is of course involved and

1:53:16 They not only arrested the seven people who were running rentboy.com, but turns out these guys were not using a data center. Stuff like this happens I think when you're...you know you started in 1997 and do it in-house and they were using...what were they using? They had a pretty big pipe directly into into their building and they had their servers there, and the servers were confiscated. Now this investigation started in 2013 according to all documents And this started in the Eastern District of New York now who was The US Attorney at the time in the Eastern District of New York? I don't know our country singer Loretta Lynch Who is now the attorney general

1:54:11 while this goes down. Okay? And she's very tight with Comey, as you can recall they were both together on the stage together. Yeah, her and Comey got something going on. Mm-hmm The investigation there's There's kind of a parallel track here David Geithner who works at Gawker I didn't know that Little Timmy Geithner's brother had used Rentboy Rentboy.com to set up, you know some high end hooker on a business trip and everything's out there now his techs back and forth he was going to pay two-and-a-half thousand dollars it was the whole like romantic setup it's kind of pretty embarrassing and sending selfies back and forth all this comes through a rentboy.com connection so now the feds have

1:55:07 all of the data, all of the customers, all who are registered with this rentboy.com I'm thinking this is a huge blackmailing opportunity. Oh yeah! Wow This will have fallout This is a good one So we need to keep our eye on it Keep your eye out for the database showing up on one of the wiki things or on the tour somewhere Because of these things. Well, but it wasn't hacked I mean it was taken... Yeah but you know doesn't mean it can't be... Right leaked Leaked that's the word Can you imagine?

1:55:49 because you'd want to leak it for political purposes if you needed to. Yeah, well I think that's maybe why this...that's the sidetrack that Tim Geithner's brother all of a sudden he's outed as using rentboy.com? I think there's a parallel there that is important maybe that's kind of showing what's going on does reach into... Oh maybe what it does is it shows you what could happen but what he said so um what happened was the escort that David Geithner had contacted figured out who it was, that he was Tim Geithner's brother. And this guy had some tax problem or you know some issue maybe with immigration I don't know what it was and David Geithner said well you know what? I'll see you in wherever he was flying to and uh...you know all talk to my brother about what I can do for ya. So this is pretty embarrassing not good at all

1:56:42 So, I think that's kind of the...that's a very subtle message out there saying, okay. But there's got to be a ton of politicians and people who really just don't want that information out there. That's worse than Ashley Madison and the feds have it. They have it. It's terrible. Yeah. Well on the FBI, of course is since its inception especially during the era of J Edgar Hoover was pretty much of a blackmailing operation Well, yeah. It's in their DNA. Yeah it's in their DNA. Tell me about your sexuality. It's in your DNA. You know? It'd only be used for good though. Big push from Facebook I have a question for you about this. Law student Max Schrems challenged... Oh wait that's the wrong one I'm sorry. I like The Voice. That's not the one I wanted. Let me see here

Facebook's Amos 6 Satellite and Internet.org in Africa

Facebook partnered with Eutelsat to launch the Amos 6 satellite, part of Mark Zuckerberg's Internet.org initiative to bring connectivity to Africa. The hosts criticize the project as a "crappy publicity stunt," noting that satellite internet suffers from extreme latency and is inferior to the fiber optic networks Google is currently laying across the continent. They argue that Wall Street is being misled by the PR narrative of "connectivity as a human right."

facebook· mark zuckerberg· amos 6· internet.org· satellite internet

1:57:37 Yes, this one. This is the Amos 6 Facebook's latest salvo in the race to bring the Internet to the entire world Facebook has partnered with French telecoms company, UtelSat to share all the broadband of the Amos 6 satellite. You can see here the bits in dark orange are exactly where this particular satellite covers so you can just how sparse it is. Put all that together and the need for this technology is very clear I love the ominous music its really nice they're really setting up here they're showing satellites flying through space over Africa We believe that connectivity is a human right

1:58:15 The Amos 6 is the latest feature of a broader Facebook-led initiative called Internet.org, A project to connect the 4 billion people globally who still have no internet access. Okay we need to pick this apart for a second because everyone is all going goo goo gaga eyes over oh so cool! So cool! Zuckerberg's a genius yes he's got an engine always gonna bring internet to everybody to the masses with satellite Now, let me tell you something about internet satellite. It sucks! Yeah it totally sucks. It's the antithesis to the Internet. The Internet being a connected web or network of networks is how it works and like why? Is this the only way we've got people with iPhones in Africa... We build pipelines... Yeah mesh network would work down there You know what turns out that Google has been rolling out fiber like crazy Facebook In Africa Yes

1:59:13 Yes, since 2012. They've been rolled the entire...it's only the coast right now which makes sense so they pretty much see it... The west coast of Africa is pretty good. And the east coast but not South Sudan. South Sudan is the only place that doesn't have a...that the fiber has not laid down. I don't understand why they don't put some fiber in this area where I am? Oh, Africans needed a multi. I feel like one of those four retired Germans digging through cans while somebody else gets all the good stuff. I tell you what's going to happen is Africa will have Google Fiber and we're going to be stuck with Facebook satellite. That's probably what's going to happen but this is such a PR play by Facebook trying to make it look cool with a clearly subpar product. I mean I got that internet thing that you have little

2:00:01 The Raspberry Pi and it downloads the daily dump of, you know like a hundred megabytes of data. Some Kickstarter project I forgot what it's called right now and I said oh that's interesting. You can't put this together unless you have deep technological knowledge there is no way. It comes in separate sh- It's just crappy publicity stunt Yeah, yes it's a crappy publicity stunt but Wall Street is falling for it. Well people fall for all this crap Let's face it Nobody knows what they're no one's ever tried using satellites the worst

US and Russian Jet Encounters Over Syria

The Pentagon acknowledged a "close encounter" between a US aircraft and a Russian jet over Syria, though the aircraft remained 20 miles apart. The hosts mock the media's portrayal of the event, noting that 20 miles is not a "close" distance in aviation terms. The incident highlights the lack of a formal deconfliction agreement between the two militaries as they operate in the same airspace.

syria· pentagon· russian jets· close encounter· deconfliction

2:00:41 for connections. I mean, it really lags time and I can see how you could fake it by loading some little app in there that make it look like the thing's doing more than it is while you're waiting. Forget trying to do Skype or FaceTime or anything like that. That would be near the latency will be out of control. It'll be seconds before goes up late with seconds literally literally literally. And I thought so. That was okay. Uh, unless I want to talk about the jets New York jets. No, I want to talk about the Russian jets. So the Russian jets have been harassing the Turks and there's been a couple of funny stories about the Jets in every one of the network news. I'm gonna do a three by three story here. All the network news, oh, the Russians you know, Americans had to divert! They had to move out of their way because these Russian jets are in Syria they're causing nothing but trouble

2:01:34 And only one network, and I believe it was ABC mentioned this little tidbit which is kind of important. It seems to me although MSNBC when they broke it as a breaking news story that Russian jets had in a close encounter with an American jet in Syria. Close encounter but they handled it very poorly they put one of the producers on to talk about the story and she just blew it up right at the beginning by telling you the truth which was a huge blunder so let's play US encounter with a Russian Jet Oops.

2:02:23 know now the Pentagon is acknowledging that there was an encounter between a US aircraft and Russian aircraft over Syria in the past several days. Now just to make it clear, they didn't come within 20 miles of one another but the U.S has established these rules for aircraft flying over Syria right now that until Russia and the U.S can come to some sort of agreement on how they they will deconflict their airspace, the US aircraft will not get within 20 miles of any Russian aircraft in the area. So what this meant was a US aircraft came near close to 20 miles of another Russian aircraft and it had to actually divert away from its flight path, divert away from whatever its target was and move out of the area so that there wouldn't be any kind of conflict between the US and the Russian aircraft

2:03:09 Now now all the networks played they left to 20 miles out of the story. Yeah, I hadn't heard that one yeah Yeah, they left the 20 miles out. They just told you there was a close encounter ABC I will admit late late late in the story kind of subtly mentioned There is a twenty mile thing but that only this woman who's obviously doesn't get didn't get the memo Just said and by the way It's 20 miles 20 miles I maybe one of those air-to-air missiles can be easily hit something 20 miles away with those speeds 20 miles is 90 What is it half a minute and 20 seconds? Well, let's beside the point. 20 miles is a long...it's not what I call it close encounter. If you want to call 20 miles of close encounter that's like saying the moon is going pretty close to the earth and in fact close enough to be an orbit but this to me is bull crap. It was just somebody veered off a little bit so they made a big story out of it. Now that doesn't mean that the Russian guys aren't acting like dicks because I believe that they probably are with the Turks

CHAPTER 32 / 45 Discussion

Turkey Complains of Russian Airspace Violations

Turkey reported that its F-16 jets were harassed and placed on radar lock by an unidentified MiG-29 near the Syrian border. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called Russia's explanation of an "accidental" violation unacceptable, asserting that Turkey's airspace is NATO airspace. The hosts discuss the tension between the Russian pilots and Turkish forces, including the use of "radar locks" as a form of intimidation.

turkey· nato· mig-29· f-16· jens stoltenberg

2:04:12 And this next story, which is the Russian jets in Turkey acting like dicks may or may not be true. But whatever I can imagine a pilot doing this and I think it's funny." The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Palmyra strikes killed 15 Islamic State fighters It's said another four Islamic State fighters were killed near Raqqa, the eastern city which has been the group's stronghold in Syria for the last two years. Despite this progress Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Russia against losing Ankara's friendship after Russian warplanes allegedly twice violated its airspace near Syrian border at the weekend

2:04:53 Moscow said the first occasion was a mistake and it is investing the second. On Tuesday, Turkey also complained its F-16 jets were harassed and put on radar lock by an unidentified MiG 29 aircraft on the Syrian border NATO said Moscow's explanation was unacceptable So one of these guys in a MiG29 locks onto missile On the one of these F-16s, a guy freaks. Goose! Goose! So I personally thought it was kind of funny but i'm sure if you're piloting... If your flying a Mach 1 is not so funny No its not funny at all But it is..I can just see these guys doing that Of course thats what you do Beep beep beep beep beep Hey im over here Beep beep beep beep Just letting ya know

2:05:44 So the Russian jets in Turkey, part two is the NATO guy. I like this clip because this is the... This is your guy. This is the guy you do, who's I guess the head of NATO? This isn't this is the new guy from Finland. This is the new guy. Finland we have him...I gotta hear him before I can do them. Well here he goes. This is Jens. Jens is his name. For us this doesn't look as an accident Oh! We have to speak it like a Dutch guy that's how it works not an acci-dent This is very bad, very very bad of the Russians. For us this doesn't look as an accident. This is a serious violation of the airspace and actually there were two violations during the weekend

2:06:30 So that just adds to the fact that this doesn't look like an accident. The violation lasted for a long time compared to previous violations of airspace we have seen other places in Europe." I think he also said as part of that, flying over Turkey is breaching NATO airspace which I found curious. Because it's not NATO, Turkey. Well I think Turkey is NATO No they're not NATO! I thought they were? No they are...I think their friends of NATO. No there just not in the EU i think they're a NATO They might be hold on maybe im wrong Is turkey and NATO? Im pretty sure I thought it was just that they were just friends and therefore they get some kind of...no you right yeah I'm sorry now it now and then became okay I'm wrong yes NATO airspace go away stupid Russians

2:07:27 Meanwhile, this report I'm not going to play the third part of that is not that interesting. But let's play Russians needle the US over sincerity and terrorism. Italian Defense Minister Roberta Puglietti he said the U.S will however conduct basic technical talks with Russia about efforts to ensure flights over Syria are conducted safely Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry says Washington's refusal to share intelligence with it about the position of Islamic State militants shows the U.S is looking for an excuse not to fight terrorism I think they've nailed it The Russians have figured this out We don't want to fight any of this stuff we want rebelization we want ISIS to do well

The Love Laundry Club and Antique Washing Machines

A segment from "The Soup" features a club of men who meet weekly to discuss and use antique washing machines. These hobbyists maintain a collection of vintage appliances, including a rare Whirlpool model known as "The Pounder" that uses a vertical agitation mechanism. The hosts find the niche hobby both "sad" and "nerdy," but fascinating from a mechanical perspective.

2:08:15 The Iraqis have probably figured this out too, that's why they're inviting the Russians in. We're not talking about that! We want ISIS to be great again! This whole story where the American public is being fed is nonsense... We have audio from the cockpit of the MiG-29 locking on to one of our fighters Oh my god I didn't really allow that There you go taking a selfie! Yeah I heard that, yeah it was him Taking a selfie! Man Okay, I got a little entremont here. Yeah so on the one of the I Started to sense always so on one of the morning shows on a weekend This was clipped from the soup But it's just no soup stuff and I could just clip this one part soup hashtag soup Soup

2:09:08 the soup that Sean eats. Yes, the soup yeah. So meaty! This is a clip from a show there's apparently a club they track down and just listen to this clip of the love laundry clip uh-oh maybe it's time you change your attitude Try to be more positive. More enthusiastic! Alright everybody, we're gonna go down and do laundry now. More like these guys. Bring your dirties. Load me up there we go They love laundry Which way are the machines? I'm not sure i got that one... I thought this was right up your alley This is the Love Laundry Guys They for the Love Laundry Tour

2:09:54 There's a club of men somewhere and they have, I guess they rented a house or something and each guy has donated or brought in some sort of antique washing machine. And so they have all these different washing machines, most of them fairly modern not like a bunch of old crummy ones. This is sad! and these guys have a meeting every week amongst themselves they bring their laundry in and use the different machines to discuss its mechanisms this is very sad it's very nerdy that's very funny but they had this one I remember this washing machine I haven't seen for years because there are some fascinating washing machines but there was one called The Pounder

NBC Focus Group Labels Hillary Clinton Condescending

An NBC News focus group in New Hampshire revealed deep-seated negative perceptions of Hillary Clinton's personality. Participants described her as "condescending," "polarizing," and "bitchy," with some suggesting her attitude would lead to political gridlock. The hosts note that NBC reportedly edited out even more negative comments to soften the blow to the Clinton campaign.

2:10:34 I think it was made by Whirlpool. And it has a mechanism in the middle with some sort of like weird looking flaps on it and it goes up and down instead of back and forth to shake up the clothes, and just goes up and down really fast and it just makes a pounding sound. I don't know how this thing ever lasted more than 10 loads but... I think they ordered the pounder once from Amazon. Bang bang bang! Maybe something different? I want to split up the D block, C-D block. I want to split it up with a little bit of what's happening in the election cycle 2016 because we've seen some...I mentioned at the top of the show we had Hillary just making a sweep! Everyone is confused. How did this happen? Of course it was very well coordinated NBC... Now... They're crying still as well Yeah

2:11:28 It appears that word went out and NBC is really helping the Obama administration get Joe Biden onto the stage, and to push Hillary out or down. A couple of things that I saw that were interesting... Although here is a this is the town hall that Hillary did Which was, I mean if you have an opportunity to watch this. This is where she was crying. This was a very well orchestrated every question was softball dumb but this one kind of caught my attention Well first i want to thank you for your candidacy You're such a role model for women my age and so thank you for putting yourself out there

2:12:20 Thank you for your candidacy. So in your emails, you told Senator McCluskey that you guys should go out and celebrate with something unhealthy to drink so I'm wondering what your favorite celebratory unhealthy drink is? A martini a vodka martini. And it came both ways, ya know shake it. Shake it not stirred. On MSNBC, this is where it got kind of ugly. In other words she just drinks straight vodka? She probably hammers it down. Her face looks like it man... Did you see the cover of The National Enquirer what I told you about? Where she says that she has six months to live and then Bill was forcing her to do this? It's great! So they had this...I'm gonna play out of order maybe more interesting

2:13:09 They had a focus group completely, completely set up with Shills to bash Hillary. And here's the discussion they had about it. So New Hampshire, more skeptical audience? Similar on the emails I don't like the way she handled it but they don't think there is anything wrong with that. They don't think should be big deal But that conversation which we showed a little bit of at the end when he started talking about her personality We showed our video what we thought was heard best giving speech and about her beliefs, and boy they had a visceral reaction. And once that one woman suggested that she might have a personality issue the whole room agreed as you saw show of hands they think that's what could stop her that she's polarizing and there are aspects of her personality that they think men in particular won't like. We actually cut out a good bit in there...out! That was even more negative because we thought it was actually too negative and didn't like some of the connotations

2:14:04 So they cut out pieces because it was too negative about Hillary. Are you interested now in hearing what they said, what was left in? I remember...I think I've seen this. This is actually quite interesting and I'm glad you clipped it because I sure didn't Here's the focus group. I think my opinion is a little bit more general just that she speaks articulately about her positions without having that edge and that scorned kind of woman thing. That's a little off-putting. Just talk more about that I think that, because i think that can put off a lot of male voters. Tell me what it's like? What are you seeing there? You know when she's...I don't want to use the word but... Bitch! It's that like women need to be equal

2:14:51 I don't, i just... Right. ...I don't think- I don't feel unequal. I agree, I don't feel unequal. I don't feel that I've had a job where I feel unequal to my male counterparts so it's not an issue that speaks to me It's double standard if there was a guy up there saying he would be impassioned Do you agree with Shannon that some people might see this? Oh yeah! I like Hillary, I think she is strong candidate but she has I don't think you have to have that. Yeah, and she has out of that condescending and i can see that causing gridlock. What person says gridlock if they're just some guy off the street? I don't think they say it. You can see that causing gridlock She does seem like a little condescending

2:15:32 I don't even think it's condescending. That's like a strange word for me, i'm thinking its more like... Bitchy? Yeah or and..I am woman, I deserve it. If she could lose that, I'd vote for her! That is my biggest problem with her. It's not necessary Raise your hand if you think that could hurt Hillary Clinton's chances of getting elected. Everybody's hand goes up. She doesn't push off alot of men people love her hate her and thats part what does that to her attitude or whatever So condescending bitch is the consensus And then... Well, they nailed it! Yeah of course. And then NBC somehow they get an exclusive John, an exclusive

CHAPTER 35 / 45 Discussion

Pro-Biden Super PAC Launches Draft Joe Ad

A pro-Joe Biden Super PAC released a "powerful and personal" advertisement urging the Vice President to enter the 2016 presidential race. NBC News received an "exclusive" first look at the ad, which the hosts interpret as a sign that the network is helping the Obama administration push Biden as an alternative to Hillary Clinton. The ad focuses on Biden's personal resilience and "angelic" qualities.

joe biden· super pac· nbc news· 2016 election· draft biden

2:16:09 an exclusive of the powerful and personal ad urging Joe Biden to run. This morning, the campaign calling for a Biden campaign is now up and running today NBC News is getting an exclusive first look at the first pro-Biden ad Exclusive First Look? Wait a minute these are the guys who make ads and then buy airtime stations to run the ads so they gave an exclusive first look What do you think they got? Is this a freebie, John? You think there's a freebie they get? I doubt it. But they may have gotten a discount or they may have gotten placement. There's placement place. I think it's a big buy. It is a huge buy could be a big by in that placement to get a free deal. They get this at the beginning and well placed has gotta be in a position where people listen to it. Or maybe he's like look we're going to give you this so you can use it as an exclusive here's our media plan

2:17:01 We'd really like to go with you guys, we want to see how you do. Could you throw in Scarborough making some fun of Hillary? That would be nice if you could do that." So they went all in and this ad is... Oh Joe is angelic! To hit the air produced in hopes of drafting the vice president into the 2016 race. Yeah drafting it's a super PAC obviously It's real money going into real advertising to really get him to run All that's missing is the candidate. You're on the cusp of some of the most astonishing breakthroughs in the history of mankind. This powerful and personal ad produced by a group of Biden supporters with a simple message, Joe run! Okay so I went to see what Joe was up to and Joe was speaking... it was for human rights council i think

CHAPTER 36 / 45 Discussion

Joe Biden's Speech to the Human Rights Campaign

Vice President Joe Biden delivered a high-energy, teleprompter-free speech to the Human Rights Campaign advocating for the Equality Act. During the address, he praised the LGBT community for "setting free" straight Americans and used the term "transgesture" instead of transgender. The hosts are impressed by his oratorical skills but suggest he may have been "half in the bag" or drinking during the performance.

joe biden· human rights campaign· lgbt· equality act· transgesture

2:17:55 And he's on the podium, big boomy sound. I got to hand it to this guy John. He doesn't use a teleprompter and he's good whatever has happened Joe Biden...I think he has it all! He has everything needed to dupe the Americans into voting for him but of course you know we wouldn't be no agenda doing pick up on a couple anomalies in his speech. The American people are so much better than their leaders give them credit for not only did all of you by the chances you have taken in your careers and your lives. Not only did

2:18:33 You've heard me say this before, you have set free millions of straight men and women. John! We're free! We're free at last! Thank God Almighty I'm free at last! Who is he talking to? Talking to gays and lesbians and transgenders and bi-curious. Oh and the gays and lesbians have set the straights free? They have set us free... And listen carefully, again this is all off the top of his head pun intended. You freed them from the stigma they fear if they spoke up and defended their lesbian or gay or bisexual or transgester. Transgesture? That's the one! I like that. This is, the truth always wants to come out and Joe Biden... Transgesture. This is why I love this guy. But I think I love him more than Trump now when he says transgester are you kidding me?!

2:19:29 That's great, because that's probably how he sees him. He's like what is this court jester running around? A dude with a wig... You can just see Joe saying that can't you? Oh yeah! This guy is about as amenable to the gay and lesbian transgesture community as a drunken Irishman in a New York pub And he's going to take credit for something which you'll probably recall what happened They're lesbian or gay or bisexual, transgender brother or sister friend college roommate. I believe from the beginning that not only did the social disapprobation... Disapprobation? Wow! I know and this is without prompter

2:20:14 What does this mean? I have no idea. Oh, disapprobation is probably hate. Strong disapproval typically on moral grounds. Disapprobation dynamite word! What did he use for a modifier? I believe from the beginning that not only did the social disapprobation... Social. Society keeps so many LGBT members from coming forward, it also inhibited the tens of millions of straight people from coming forward to support him but as i said back in 2012 Here he is do you remember when he trumped the president?

2:20:55 On same-sex marriage? On 2012. Yeah, don't you remember that like the president was vaguely yeah And then the president did this quick sit down with with what's her name Ross Abrams, I think. What is her name? And everyone was pissed off that Joe had said, oh yeah same-sex marriage is great so he's now taking full credit for it Back in 2012 the vast majority of the American people agreed with me with what I said and have agreed with you for a long time before then So you left the Supreme Court absolutely no choice. No choice whatsoever! I mean it!" He's doing something very interesting, and i have a second clip which just has a dynamite punchline at the end

2:21:41 He is, his message which I think we'll see him do is because of the pressure that you the American people and in this case it's only LGBT but okay you the American people. You've created so much pressure that the Supreme Court had no other option which is Doesn't sound like this is how the Supreme Court is supposed to run. No, and it... But what he's doing, he's handing the citizenry on a platter saying look when you come into action when you want something to change You can do it so that the Supreme Court can't even go around you Now here's the one with the big punchline at the end There are still those shrill voices in the national political arena Hillary! Trying undoing what has finally been done

2:22:31 But they're not going to succeed. Don't worry about it." He almost sounds like George Carlin there, the game is rigged! Not gonna succeed? Not gonna happen? Very good this very rigor trying to undo what has finally been done but they're not gonna succeed don't worry about it The American- No really I mean this sincerely The American people have moved so far beyond them and their appeals to prejudice and fear and homophobia And because of how far you've moved the American people, the remainder of the work and much work has to be done. I promise you will come much more quickly and more surely it will increase in its rapidity The change that we need another good rapidity this guy's dynamite John This is all off-the-cuff there's no paper There's no nothing It's great! I strongly support the Equality Act and it will pass

2:23:31 It may not pass this Congress. It will pass because it's simple and it's straightforward The American people think the law already prevents an employer from firing someone because they are LGBT. The American people already think, it is illegal to deny you housing. The American people already think what the act calls for. The problem is they don't know that it's still legal." Listen to the cadence and the buildup of this, are you not impressed? I'm really impressed by this. I just think well go on play it no I mean Joe can give a speech but that's not what the problem is with him okay we'll wait for the punchline then. "...places so the one way if you could change this overnight

2:24:29 would be to infuse in every mind in America that there are still, there are still 41 excuse me 31 states he was prepared he had all the data that can deny you employment and housing etc we just have to so I look I'm not your staff but I kind of like your staff here's a deal. I've told this to Chad A lot of you are very successful women and men. Put your money into advertising, not about other people! Let them know it's illegal in their state!" Put your money into advertising? Are you kidding me Job? This is- this guy is all in he said buy ads for ME to deny someone a job based on race let them know the American people

2:25:26 The American people are all ready with you. Look at the numbers, though there's homophobes still left most of them are running for president I think Come on! That was good Yeah you get impressed by these guys um yeah Joe still has a couple problems One he's a drunk And he'll be given that same speech hammered and it won't be quite as slick It will be great for the show He was half in the bag on that speech to be honest about us where he came up with this trans gesture I'm telling you, I think it can hold his liquor. You think is drunk or not drunk? Huh?

CHAPTER 37 / 45 Discussion

Hillary Clinton's Strategy for the Democratic Debates

The hosts analyze the upcoming CNN Democratic debate, predicting it will be a "love fest" between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders unless Joe Biden enters the race. They suggest Clinton actually wants Biden to run so he can neutralize Sanders, allowing her to remain above the fray. Without a "wild card" like Biden or Trump, the hosts believe the Democratic debates will suffer from low viewership.

hillary clinton· bernie sanders· joe biden· cnn· democratic debates

2:26:13 I think he was drunk during that speech, but he wasn't at his edge where he's gone. Where he completely just... I like him! You know what can Hillary do? Hillary is supposed to be the LGBT... Well, I think Hillary wants him to run She should come out and say she's bisexual or lesbian Hear this out Hillary is Hillary. She is a force to be reckoned with if she can get Joe to run, Joe's just not going to take anything much from her he's gonna kill Bernie Sanders and the two of them are gonna have a little fist fight verbally at the debates and then not the first one maybe the second one and then you know Sanders will be taken down a notch or two and it'll be Hillary will rise above it this is a Hillary play

2:27:01 Hillary wants Joe to run. Every time they ask her about this, in fact I don't have any clips of this but i've seen it over and over again what do you think about Joe Biden running? Joe's a good friend of mine! I don't want to talk about it we'll see what happens if he gets in the race and she's just very amenable about Joe running doesn't discourage doesn't encourage is so neutral as ridiculous So I think Joe is going to be talked into it there's been a lot of... I think he's already in I think he's in Well then he probably wouldn't be giving these speeches I think he'll be at the CNN debate, which they're now touting like a boxing match. Have you seen the promos for this thing? It's not going to draw anybody unless Trump becomes a Democrat. They're trying though they're so clueless over there they think that Hillary Bernie is gonna be a fun show

2:27:49 Yeah, no. That remains to be seen. Of course it's not going to be a fun show but they think that they're probably pre-selling the ad slots for the pre and post analysis like crazy! The thing that people like about Trump during these debates and during his speeches is that he goes after guys. He calls them weak He calls them dipshits. Yeah, he calls them stupid He goes on and that's entertaining and people go watch it You got Bernie Sanders won't say a bad thing about Hillary period And Hillary won't say a bad thing about Bernie It's gonna be at love fest who wants to watch that? No its gonna suck

DraftKings Insider Trading and Podcast Advertising Conflicts

The daily fantasy sports site DraftKings is facing allegations of insider trading, a story the hosts claim many major podcasts are ignoring due to advertising conflicts. DraftKings and its competitor, FanDuel, spend heavily on ads for shows like Joe Rogan and Howard Stern. The hosts argue that the No Agenda model is superior because it allows them to deconstruct such scandals without fear of losing corporate sponsors.

draftkings· joe rogan· howard stern· insider trading· fantasy football

2:37:12 Sir Dobler, Knight of the Knowage and a round table for you. We have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay root beer and legos, hookers and molly, malt and barley and hops puppies and tailors vintage sport Cuban cigars are single malt scotch wenches and beer geishas and sake vodka vanilla bong hits in bourbon sparkling cider and escorts breast milk and pablum and obviously always for the lovers mutton and mead go to knowagenda nation Dot-com slash rings loves a button in meat. Hey, I did want to mention just briefly Just tying into our model for a moment okay That you know we don't have any advertising we talk about anything We want we have we could do whatever we want? We have no masters other than the actual slide program well yeah that if you've been following draft kings calm and

2:38:00 you know, their insider trading. These guys spend a lot of money on podcast advertising. Oh yeah I didn't notice this! Oh yeah they've got big podcasts too like Joe Rogan... You know i've said this and Horowitz and I talked about these guys the DraftKings and the other one there's two operations that are running parallel uh and by the way a lot of it turns out a lot I think DraftKing is owned by a bunch They've got deals with NBC. I don't even know if they're paying full... They advertise on Howard Stern! They also are partly owned by Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Kraft of the team in Boston. Their ownership is deep into the sports world, they have deals with Major League Baseball that's a-I don't know if they're paying full ticket for these ads, DraftKings and The Other One or whatever it's called

2:38:56 But these guys are just going crazy. If I was getting money from them for an ad, I would demand payment on the right immediate payment. I wouldn't go 90 to 60 days. What I'm interested in just to prove a theory...I would like people to find podcasts covering this story that take advertisers from DraftKings I don't think there'll be a podcast in the world that would cover the story. Absolutely, will there be? Not a single one and this is exactly the point now it's just fantasy football it's insider training with $1 billion but I think...I don't see any of these big podcasts are saying well you know these guys are doing this and I don't see that why would they exactly that's the point

2:39:45 I think you're just biting the hand that feeds you. Exactly, exactly! That's why we ask for donations directly from our... This came up in the conversation this really bothered me. You mean a conversation? The conversation. Somebody brought it up and noticed on Twitter and somehow has become a meme if anyone says oh i hate it when people say that your are the product If your not paid, your not the product. That's bull, its bull And so they've been trying to condemn the notion that if you're getting something for free, you are the product because you're being sold to the advertisers. There's been two or three essays written about this... Why do people hate it when that's being said? Why they hate it? Because they got advertising going on and I haven't seen anyone asking for straight support say anything like this. Let me go back and explain it again

CHAPTER 40 / 45 Discussion

Bill Ziff's Special Interest Publishing Formula

John C. Dvorak recounts his time at Ziff Davis and the publishing philosophy of Bill Ziff, who perfected the "special interest" magazine model. Ziff believed that readers of magazines like PC Magazine or Modern Bride should be "immersed" in a specific world, meaning all ads had to match the editorial content. This strategy turned the readers into a "packaged product" sold to advertisers at high rates, a concept Dvorak says still applies to modern media.

bill ziff· ziff davis· pc magazine· special interest publishing· advertising

2:40:36 I first heard about this idea and knew about this idea when I was working at Ziff Davis, and I knew Bill Ziff who was the king of special interest publishing. And he came up with the formulas and perfected the idea of putting... He had magazine like Boating! and Flying!, and Brides, Modern Bride, and all these... I think one of the brides- How about QRZ? Yeah, The Ham Radio Magazine same thing So you have these specialty magazines and the idea was that is you cultivate an audience that's very specific. And PC Magazine, for example would always like really condemn when he had an editor come in and say I think we should have more articles for beginners. And they would just almost get fired on the spot from even thinking that way because you don't want beginners. You wanna certain group of very high end readers that you can package

2:41:34 You package the readers and you hand them to an advertiser, you say look what we've got. We have got this audience and that's why they do studies on how much money you make it how much college you had and all this stuff so you can back it up. Oh! And they're all very educated and they go to this show and they go to that show Look here they are were selling them to you give us $50,000 which is what a one-page ad cost in PC Magazine during its heyday. And so they're, oh yeah I'll give you 10 of these ads here's a half million dollars because we want to talk to these people and that's what they want to do. They wanted to put an ad in the magazine that talked specifically to this audience that was created for the purposes of selling to the advertiser. You are the product! I don't see how it could be any simpler than that. So let me understand this

2:42:24 If you follow that formula, and that was a bit...that's still a very successful formula I think. Oh yeah! So if you had let's say let's take a random...let's say if you had a tech show then to really succeed You should have lots of technology-based advertisers which is the antithesis of what people want What producers say they will do Well this isn't one of this is up This is a I'll tell you the story if people want inside stuff Because Bill Ziff had this theory, and he believed that PC...any of his magazines, Modern Bride, PC May, any of them.

2:43:03 That if you're reading Modern Bride or Today's Bride, or whatever the magazine was huge by the way. If you're reading that magazine he believed that everything in that magazines should be about being a bride all the advertising should be about bride related and The same thing with PC Magazine when you open PC Magazine You would see nothing but ads for computers computer products services yeah all kinds of stuff The idea was, and because it was brought up like the sales guys don't want this. They wanna sell ads so they'd always bring up and get fired for doing it if they push too hard. They bring them, all right we can get it, we can get Ford. We have Ford come in when you have General Motors wants to buy a bunch of ads on PC Magazine why did you never see any ads from General Motors and PC Magazine? Because it violated the principle that you wanted immersive

2:43:53 You want the reader immersed in the technology. And the idea was because you're thinking about technology, because all of the articles are about technology and all new stuff and reviews, you are more open to now accepting an ad when it comes your way in the magazine saying maybe I'll buy that But it would take you out of the world. It's like Disneyland, they put a berm all around Disney World or Disneyland because they don't want anyone seeing outside the little world they've created You take them out of the world when you put the Ford ad in there or cigarette at or anything the way well for to Not that yet to get back into the world is too hard run those sorts of ads the people who do podcasts about technology should only by this theory and

2:44:34 have advertisers for technology products. Yeah, and they don't! That's my point! Yeah it is dumb They don't because they have some... well why they don't is dumb I guess? Well there are a lot of reasons why they say that but this what you want to do right borderline fire anybody who is mingling with the sales guys. Now, I was kind of...I loved mingling with the sales guys because you learn all these sales tricks. Man 2 Because they have discretionary budgets for strippers. Man 1 And they have big budgets to buy... Man 2 For strippers?

2:45:25 And so I'm always hanging out with the sales. But, you know, it's not approved...you shouldn't be hanging out with the sales guys because they always think they're going to do a sweet deal if you write about this and all that stuff but I never did any of that because I tend to write about trends anyway. Right right. It's a very interesting structure, the whole thing but I can tell you this Advertising for the kind of work we do is impossible. It's impossible because we cannot afford to have anything influencing our coverage and deconstruction of these stories, and that's why we ask for your help. Exactly this I was going to save this for Sunday but maybe i should bring it in now um We were talking about block pop block now I can't even say it block pocalypse

Adblock Plus and the Acceptable Ads Racketeering

Adblock Plus is introducing a program to allow "acceptable ads" through its filter in exchange for a fee from advertisers. The hosts describe this as "legal racketeering" and "extortion," noting that the "Acceptable Ads Manifesto" website is registered to the lead developer of Adblock Plus. They discuss the future of online advertising and Google's efforts to bypass blockers by serving ads directly from primary domains.

adblock plus· acceptable ads· vladimir palant· racketeering· google

2:46:19 The ad blockpocalypse? Blockpocalypse. So Adblock Plus, right on the heels of the new Google CEO has come out with their request so they're going to start allowing ads to come through the ad blocker as I predicted! Yeah you did predict this and they have now on their website requirements for acceptable ads There's no acceptable ads if you're using adblock or you're blocking for a reason. And they are going to take a nominal fee from advertisers, as they state... This is in the form of extortion! They should be very careful this is racketeering. Well I think it can prove its racketeering and we'll show why in a minute

2:47:08 Do you want to run down the quick list of what is an acceptable ad? No, I'd love to hear this. Okay point one static advertisements only no animation sounds or similar Preferably text only no attention-grabbing images now they say preferably so there's a hedge there yeah and Ad placement. Ads should never obscure page content for pages featuring a reading text ad should not be...for pages featuring a reading text, ads should not be placed in the middle where they interrupt the reading flow however they can be placed above the text content below it or on the sides The same applies to search result pages paid search results cannot be mixed with organic results Hello Google

2:47:51 When ads are placed above the content of a main page, it should not require the user to scroll down. The available vertical space should be 700 pixels. Advertising should not occupy more than one-third of that height. When placed on the side, ad should leave enough space for the main content The available horizontal space should be expected to be at least 1000 pixels. Advertisers should be clearly marked as such with the word advertising or its equivalent and should be distinguishable from page content, for instance via a border or different background color. Marking and placement requirements do not apply for hyperlinks with affiliate refer IDs." And it goes on and on and on...

2:48:31 What I found interesting those are all that is not gonna make any ad work No, but what I found interesting was the acceptable ads manifesto. Oh Go to acceptable ads org we the undersigned the under signed being read it Duck duck go share thought ad blog plus of course customer URL again. I'm sorry acceptable ads org And they have a manifesto. So this is the user side, this is... They're saying this is users who have a manifesto where we will accept as an acceptable ad

2:49:12 So they're using the same language. This is our manifesto! 1. Acceptable ads are not annoying 2. Acceptable ads do not disrupt or distort the page content we're trying to read 3. Acceptable ads are transparent with us about being an ad 4. Acceptable ads are effective without shouting at us 5. Acceptable ads are appropriate to the site we're on and it goes on and on but here's the thing I did a who is because it doesn't say exactly who this acceptableads.org is The Who Is website is registered to Vladimir Palant, who is the lead developer for Adblock Plus That's racketeering right there so they're pretending

2:50:07 The good guys on acceptable ads and they're also running the consumer manifesto? Give me a break. There's a column in there somewhere for you, John. Yeah, you're right. There is a column in there. Well I am very disappointed... I would call this legal racketeering, unless the district attorney or somebody gets on this. But I would say that this is very disappointing because I like the product and use it. And use it yes. Well you're going to start seeing acceptable ads show up? Well these acceptable ads...I will say this one thing, I'll give them credit for

2:50:53 They're ineffective. Those ads are no good. That's exactly who wants an ad that doesn't shout or have flashy images? This has not going to work, so what you're gonna have to do for advertising in the future if you're gonna get through all this stuff because these guys are gonna block anything that's actually effective which amounts to it because of the and the others aren't gonna work No one's gonna do them So there's these guys aren't gonna clean up on this great idea know What has everything has to go toward native advertising No, I disagree. Google is selling some product where they're saying it compresses your website pages but it also then encapsulates your advertising in Google's safe advertising way which can be blocked? Well, I'm dropping Google from the discussion. Okay. I'm talking about content sites other than Google that have stories like New York Times Online

2:51:50 I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying though. Google is selling a product that will effectively turn your website into a website that cannot be blocked by ad blockers because it's all from the same URL, it's the Google system so and they'll change it to whatever your domain name is and it all comes under the guise of it'll load faster and then they determine you can't use JavaScript or some versions of CSS It's, they're fighting. You are making the assumption that everyone is going to buy into this? No I'm just telling you what is going on and not making any assumption Well this all bad For who? For advertisers It's bad for advertisers, it's bad for advertisers Bad for the users This whole advertising thing on the internet still hasn't shaken itself out It wont! Its not gonna work Long term it doesn't work I've never believed in it

Jimmy Kimmel's Man on the Street Tax Plan Prank

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel conducted a "man on the street" segment where he asked Hillary Clinton supporters if they liked her new tax proposals, which were actually Donald Trump's policies. Participants praised the ideas—such as cutting corporate taxes and eliminating the estate tax—until they were told the plans belonged to Trump. The hosts highlight the "mind control" on display as supporters immediately struggled to reconcile their approval of the policies with their dislike of Trump.

jimmy kimmel· donald trump· hillary clinton· tax plan· mind control

2:52:49 It has to work on something. Yeah, but the only thing that works is like spam. Spam still works as long as you can scatter enough then people pick it up and click on things. People are sometimes interested but you have to have the flashy image yet that doesn't work otherwise. Yeah people just block it out with their own brain they don't even need adblocker I took your advice and watched a couple nights worth of Jimmy Kimmel You said that was the best late night talk show. It is and uh, and I you know Fallon yeah okay whatever Colbert he better find his voice that's his problem

2:53:32 And people, he has to find his voice. People... No no no, he's still doing that character He's got a ramp it up. He's really gotta go big time back to the character That's his problem but okay Okay you can through the character thats possible But then Jimmy Kimmel did something I liked alot and i've been.. I just haven't had an opportunity To talk about Donald Trump's tax plan which I read I don't know if you had a chance to look at or even heard of it Yeah yeah most of it Any initial comments? No none You're not for or against Uh, it's not what I, you know what? I'm for wealth tax. If it's not about wealth tax, I don't care. Well he has a wealth tax in there. It's kind of, it's wishy washy wealth taxing. But Kimmel did something that I liked a lot because it's a variation an honest variation on the man on the street interview now we know if you do man on the street be interview 100 people, you pull the four funniest out that you want to make your point with and then you air that right. That's how

2:54:28 Yes, and before you go on because I've been watching a lot of Kimmel. And his man on the street things which include that clip that you've been playing which is part of one of his man-on-the-street bits are varied he has a number maybe 20 or 30 variations on how he does the man on the street. It's approaching as close to genius in this one little man-on-the-street bit, I mean when Lena was doing it had to be one bit jaywalking and then he tried to change into something else but jaywalking was the only thing that worked. Kimball has a number of different

2:55:07 He's got a very good writing crew, I have to say. So the plan here was we're going to go out and first establish people are all in Hillary bots and then we're going to say what do you think of her tax plan? But instead of it being Hillary's tax plan which I don't think she has one announced yet they took pieces from Trumps tax plan. Ah that is one his bits Are you a Hillary Clinton supporter? Yes I am. I like Hillary, yeah I support her! I'm a Hillary Clinton supporter well for one it's definitely time that we have a woman in the White House Well i think a female president would be a great idea Are you a Hillary Clinton supporter? I sure am What about Donald Trump? Next You don't support Donald Trump at all? I do not Would you able to support anything about Donald Trump

2:55:58 In short, no. Donald Trump? Uh... Nah not so much I feel cold towards Donald Trump You wouldn't support Donald Trump No Okay and would you support Hillary Clinton's plan to cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%? I'd be a- I think that's a good idea Do you support Hillary's plan to eliminate the estate tax Yes! I do support that Do you support her plan to eliminate taxes for those who make less than $25,000 a year I would support that, yes. Do you support her plan to eliminate the alternative minimum tax? Alternative minimum tax... Yeah! I support that. Do you support her plan to eliminate the estate tax? Yes And what would you say if i told you those are all Donald Trump's proposals? I would say He is a pretty smart man. I'd say I feel stupid. I would say That that shocking

2:56:57 But I mean, if it is, i'm still not voting for Donald Trump. He's a caricature." What would you say if I told you those are all Donald Trump policies? Did you hear that programming did you hear the mind control kick in on that woman uh-huh That was fantastic! All of a sudden you can almost hear the switch flip. I would say that that's shocking but I mean If it is, I am still not voting for Donald Trump Click click! Blah blah blah I'm telling everybody he's a character. What would you say if I told you those are all Donald Trump policies I wouldn't believe that. Why I support Donald Trump then? The black man is smart. Yeah, I'll support Donald Trump then! It sounds like a good deal to me. I liked that. I thought that was really good. He does a bunch of those things the one that i had the clip which where I took that little sub-clip Is another example what he does with the men on the street and in this case he sets up a premise

Jimmy Kimmel's Selfie Today Segment

In another Jimmy Kimmel segment, pedestrians in Los Angeles were asked if they had posted a selfie that day. One woman, Heidi Odette Scherzinger, claimed she had challenged Evel Knievel to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1974 but was stopped by a "campaign issue." The hosts use the clip to illustrate the "doomed" state of modern society and the eccentricities of people found on the streets of LA.

jimmy kimmel· selfies· evil knievel· snake river canyon· los angeles

2:57:57 of some sort. In this case, the premise is a question—it's not always a question but in this case it's a question and And he asked the question of the person on the street, and then the audience is required to say yes or no whether this person is going to answer it a certain way. And in this case... Oh, yeah I've seen that. Yeah, yeah. He asked them...and there's two, I only have two examples on here maybe there's a third but there's two but the second one is priceless. The first was got that screwball and I just want to play so you can hear where that word came from but the premise is well the question

2:58:33 did you have you taken a selfie of yourself today which i would think is that the you know this is like to me isn't indictment of society but also are you an asshole could be the question yes and so they've always so they get a stop it clip in the city do what he's gonna say yesterday on the all say yeah no andy generally get pretty correct but you have to listen to this clip because there's this this woman comes on after this this character and it's just kind of something you only get in Los Angeles. Next up, I'm Brian Eubank and i'm from Corona California boring place Have you posted a selfie today? What about Brian? All right well wow A resounding yes let's see Yes I have uh this is a mom selfie I look great! I know look how gracious we look right oh my gosh

2:59:28 I didn't really love it. That's what everyone in the rest were doomed by the way, we're fucking doom John this is over its That's what everyone in the rest of the country thinks everyone in LA sounds like, right? Alright next. Hi! What is your name and where are you from? My name is Heidi Odette Scherzinger I'm originally from Cinnamonson New Jersey Heidi have you posted a selfie today Has Heidi posted a selfie today? Well let us find out I challenged Evil Knievel in 1974 when he failed to jump over Snake River Canyon. Somebody made a campaign issue out of me so i never got to jump but all this can be verified

Joe Friday's Hippie Lecture from Dragnet

A clip from the television show Dragnet features Sergeant Joe Friday lecturing a "hippie scum" youth about the dangers of instant gratification. Friday's speech touches on "instant orange juice," "instant transportation," and "instant answers," which the hosts find remarkably similar to modern complaints about millennials. They note that the generational divide and the desire for quick solutions are recurring themes in American culture.

dragnet· joe friday· hippies· millennials· instant gratification

3:00:31 All this can be verified. What if she got some... That's fantastic, that's fantastic! I came across a little clip and this was kind of in... we need to do it again. We've got 10 minute warning here we gotta stop This is in... I'm sure you saw the drunk kid who was demanding his jalapeno mac and cheese. Everyone was laughing about it? Everybody had that all over them. Yeah, whatever okay But we complained about Millennials and we complained of all their problems And then ran across this clip from Dragnet When did this run? Is this like 60's? 50, 60 when did it run. I think it was we went through the transition from black and white to color so I think it was probably mid-50's to close of the 70's It was on for a long time. I don't know when this episode came out. Um...it is in color So its probably not one of their early early ones

3:01:24 and they pick up some hippie scum kid, which we would be like I think kind of back then like damn hippies. Was that kind of analogous to what we call? Yeah. Damn millennials know no as much the hatefulness of the hippies in the late 60s, which is probably when this end through the 70s was extremely high. Well isn't there hate for millennials not did not the same well it's we have a good start It's the millennials are rather lovable. Noodle boy, two words noodle boy. Yeah they're well they're loveable so here's Joe Friday lecturing the hippie kid and I just thought it was interesting to hear

3:02:03 the similarities between what we complain about regarding millennials versus this probably late 60s hippie kid. People are free today to make their own mistakes because of it and that may just include you I don't know maybe part of it's the fact that you're in a hurry, You've grown up on instant orange juice flip a dial instant entertainment dial seven digits instant communication turn a key push a pedal instant transportation flash your card instant money shoving a problem push a few buttons instant answers But some problems you can't get quick answers to no matter how much you want them. We took a little boy in the central receiving hospital yesterday, he was four years old He weighs eight and a half pounds his parents just haven't bothered to feed him That kind of it sounds very similar today. Yeah It's a universal except for the instant orange juice I didn't realize that was an issue

CBS News Sweetened Reports and Vape Convention Outro

The hosts critique a CBS News report by Holly Williams on Russian cruise missile strikes in Syria, noting the heavy use of "sweetening" (background music and sound effects) to manipulate viewer emotions. Adam Curry announces he will be attending a vape convention in Houston, which he describes as a cross between Comic-Con and a porn convention. The episode concludes with a final "In the Morning" sign-off and a warning to wash hands after "touching anyone on the internet."

3:02:54 You know, instant entertainment. Flash a card get some cash seven digits dial the number crazy town. Yeah I think you can get a lot of them. I should start looking for more of those since i have a collection of all that crap I've been archiving.

I'm an OTR guy Alright, I have one last joke clip if you want something kind of funny. I have a longer clip which i can move to the next show... I also have the cruise on Sunday

3:03:38 slamming the Sierra Club president, which was... Okay I'd like to hear that. My clip which is the long one we moved this Sunday is on CBS Network News The most sweetened report I have ever heard on any news broadcast. I need to hear this now! I can't wait till Sunday That's pretty long This is a 2 megabyte file Yes But it just sweetened to death That is a very... It's Holly Williams and she's giving this report. She's not even there, she's in Istanbul and this report is like... No wait wait you know what? You're right save it for Sunday and then we will replicate the report with our own sweetening

3:04:19 So the challenge is that each of us have to do one report with lots of sweetening? No, no. We'll do it together and then we'll... I think we should produce it! That's what I mean. We'll produce a sweetened clip. Okay, well play yours on Sunday. Why don't we play now then people can even help us with the sweetening Okay, you know what? Warn the affiliates we're going late. To seize the military initiative from the United States Russian warships fired dozens of missiles in support of the Assad dictatorship Russian bombers hit rebels some of them backed by the United States The US has been bombing Syria for a year attacking the ISIS extremists Holly Williams is covering

3:05:04 Russia says it launched 26 cruise missiles today from its warships on the Caspian Sea. They flew over 900 miles across Iran and Iraq, hitting parts of northern Syria where both ISIS and al-Qaeda linked fighters have a heavy presence. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the high precision Kalibr missiles used for the first time reflected good preparation and training by his country's military

3:05:43 But the US says Moscow's airstrikes in Syria are also targeting moderate American-backed rebels and that Russia's real goal in Syria is to prop up the regime. Protected by Russian air cover, regime troops began a ground offensive today in rebel strongholds. Opposition fighters hit back in some of the most intense fighting in several months but after four years of bloody civil war Russia's air campaign may be tipping the balance in favor of the Syrian regime

3:06:28 Russia's military buildup in Syria now also includes a battalion of ground troops, according to the U.S. ambassador to NATO and Scott that is despite Russian assertions that it will not use ground troops in its operations inside Syria And the US said those Russian troops are equipped with their top-of-the line tanks and artillery Holly Williams reporting from Istanbul tonight Holly thanks Wow you know There was not one moment, I mean she came out of it obviously to do the live hit but during their report there was not one moment of silence. Well here's what they missed... They didn't have this song in it! I think they missed a great opportunity put the hit song in. I don't know if they know that, know how to do that?
