Ted Cruz Extramarital Affair Rumors and Democratic Glee

A dinner party in Austin involving former New York bankers and Democratic supporters leads to a discussion regarding rumors of Senator Ted Cruz having an extramarital affair. Attendees expressed a sense of glee regarding the potential scandal, while the hosts debate the morality of celebrating political foibles. The conversation shifts to Cruz's professional record, including his numerous appearances before the Supreme Court, and a disagreement over whether the Senator should be labeled an extremist.

ted cruz· austin· democrats· supreme court· isis· extramarital affair· gossip

02:29 Oh yeah, you're a celebrity stooge. Everybody needs one in their life! Every dinner party should have the celebrity stooge Now the people who were here... very interesting crowd definitely Obama bots no doubt about it even though I think some of them were extremely wealthy I believe one guy and his wife... Typical of the Democrats, of course. Very very rich. People have been bamboozled about this fact. Yeah exactly but there wasn't a lot of political talk at the table which was nice but when it did come up Trump had to come up in the conversation No no no wow Ted Cruz came up in the conversation Oh Texas connection Well but what's interesting

03:20 There was like a lot of, oh we can't really know. He's talking this means it's gossip Yeah it was gossip Oh yeah but you know and people were very wary of me But they so wanted to say I said You really shouldn't say anything because I can be trusted five minutes later Like well here is what we've heard People want to tell us that I have noticed this over the years If you have an outlet, in other words you have a voice that is public. They will...people that want, they want this information to get out but they know it's wrong. Very wrong! But they tell you because they know you're gonna tell. So here is how that part of the conversation went well yeah I really feel bad about saying this but we are pretty sure that its going to come out any day now that Ted Cruz is having an extramarital affair. Interesting right?

04:18 Well, I mean... Well here's what was interesting about it. It's not unusual! Here's what was interesting so the wife of big-time contractor, I mean like big time contractor building contractor she said you know the way she said it I said you know I think someone said oh that's probably or Adam you probably think that's really hilarious and no actually I find I find that sad if that's true, that his marriage is falling apart. It's not hilarious! Why would it be hilarious? What do people think of you? No it wasn't that... but I get the feeling when this was discussed and heard about this everybody was saying that with some form of glee

04:57 And the woman goes, a young lady I should say. No, really nice people but...I mean, I did call her out. There is especially the Democratic side of the ledger they get a kick out of Republican foibles that involve morality because Republicans present themselves as highly moral. The Republicans themselves see themselves, I believe more if you're gonna take the religious side of it. I think they see themselves as more fallible and so it's never a surprise that some guy at a high level like Ted Cruz would maybe have an affair right? And they would all see it the way you do kind of this is too bad. Well two things...I saw it as sad yes and then I also said well hold on second you say this with some form of glee well yeah he's no he's an extremist

05:47 Like, hold on a second. Back up one second. This guy's very successful... He is a good senator and very successful prosecutor. Nine times in front of the Supreme Court is nothing to sneeze at the number of people that can say that. Very few people who can say that. A dozen maybe? And I said, In addition to that, I don't care who it is even if it's the vermin supreme with the boot on his head If you want to run for president, I give you respect But it went, she said no but he's an extremist. I said you mean extremist like ISIS? Yes yes! Oh okay well then i think we're done here. Please... He's creepy but extremists now I don't think so. I don't think he committed any jihad in the US Senate. That was really the only political speak that was going down but here's what's interesting. Ah found it. What sorry what'd you find

CHAPTER 03 / 51 Discussion

Darryl May Encounter and Japanese Baseball Statistics

An awkward social encounter at Jeffries restaurant in Austin occurs when one of the hosts is introduced to former New York Yankees starting pitcher Darryl May. Unaware of May's professional sports background, the host mistakenly asked if he coached Little League. The discussion covers May's career statistics, including his time playing for the Hanshin Tigers and Mori Giants in Japan, and the embarrassment of failing to recognize a major league athlete.

07:39 He wanted to from California and I'm sitting like this guy and the way the banker introduced me. I don't understand why he did that, but he's like oh hey no meet Adam you know? You like guns meet Adam what the fuck is that? What are you talking about well you get paid in guns! I said what are you talking about just because at one point so we had one of our knights had New Yorker right yeah Of course of course really Well he's the first to say i'm a pinko liberal from New York fine So this guy next to me, I thought it was an awkward introduction. And what do you do? Yeah baseball sports and like oh god. Because he seemed like a nice guy but...and actually caught myself in the middle of saying what I despise people will say to me MTV yeah i don't know anything about their music I don't care about videos or anything and I said I don't know anything about sports I'm sorry man that was stupid thing to say What do you do? You know just talking

Darryl May Dameron is he a baseball player? I would say it was the starting picture for the New York Yankees Darryl May is the starting pitcher for the Yankee's No he left, he was the starting pitcher Was this Darryl May? Darryl May The guy that you were sitting next to? And I'm like you coach Little League I didn't know. I didn't really know until I got home yet to look him up. He must have felt like an idiot was very kind about it, but you know what? It's not a big deal this guy is. You're not his sports fan. You don't know anything about it. Why would you? I didn't even recognize his name. But I think that wasn't Yankee fan if you were a Yankee fan. It was an epic fail

09:36 It was okay that didn't know who he was when I said, oh what do you do coach Little League? He's like no. No not really Didn't say I'm Daryl May, you know left-handed or was it GM? I'm the famous New York Yankees left hander starting pitcher You should have got his autograph Oh yeah Hey now that I don't care about sports but I know your famous can have your autograph Nice fabric Oh man, I felt like such a dick. That was hilarious So it doesn't sound like a productive in terms of the show did no No, no, what's that? Looks like that. It says want to let you know but failed in front of Darryl May Darryl strawberry, I might have recognized but Daryl, I don't know Darryl may yeah only from the cocaine Strawberry yeah, well I wasn't on New York radio during this

10:30 Strawberry days. Oh, he was one of the best players ever it was very good Yeah And but he's buddy you know I did he just quit He was a starting pitcher plus paid for the Yankees. Uh, it's a couple of years ago. It's gotta be years ago seven eight years ago I think no no 43 so it has to be a while ago. I think maybe 23. Yeah he wasn't very successful as 20 if you were if it's like a sports fan who here's what I should have said yes there's a bunch of guys out there and Bill Ziff by the way was one of these

11:07 Photographic memory for statistics. Oh, geez yeah now his was all basketball stats But it's if you but there are guys with baseball stats and so you sit next to this guy And you'd go Darryl May Yankees How do you feel about having a horrible record of 26 and 43 with 5.16 earned run average? That sucks! I would never say that, even if I knew though that information. Uh oh... am i wrong?! I just needed to get out of there He actually spent four seasons in Japan. I know, I know! Now that would be worth talking about what's it like playing on a Japanese baseball team? If i had known I would have brought it up because Japan did come up in the conversation with the Hanshin Tigers and the Mori Giants. Well guess what here's the good news

12:01 We're now connected so the next time I see him. I'll throw a whole bunch of stats at him Don't know this dad's and his dads are embarrassed hey, why do you suck? But he seems that's kind of interesting out totally So did they really have small equipment The only question what's it like in the locker room what else do we need to know really Anyway onward yes, so we had a couple things happen this week obviously the And we saw it happen when Trump quit the debates and went off to... Now, what were the final numbers? What were the ratings numbers? The overnights were a little unclear. Fox numbers. The fox numbers were 11-12 million which was down from 25 or whatever it was for some people. Well but the previous debate was already less than that wasn't it? The previous one was actually the lowest. Yeah yeah. So its been falling off so you can't really tell. It's maybe trending down and Trump got four

Donald Trump Wounded Warriors Event and Media Coverage

Donald Trump hosted a benefit event for veterans and wounded warriors in Iowa as counter-programming to a Fox News GOP debate. Media outlets including CNN and MSNBC provided live coverage of the appearance, which featured high-profile donors pledging millions of dollars. NBC's Chuck Todd compared the atmosphere of the Trump rally to a rock concert, contrasting its high energy with the more formal and "low energy" environment of the official debate.

12:57 He wasn't even scheduled anywhere, but he somehow got four. But now a moment I was screaming at the television CNN cut to it live MSNBC cut to it live but it was during Rachel's show and so the minute he was... And then I wound up watching the whole thing on C-SPAN It was pretty good little appearance he did. It wasn't a lot of I'm gonna make America great again You know, there truly was a lot going on for the wounded warrior and veterans. It was great he had his friends coming up on stage like here's Shifty LeVar Swifty whatever his name is oh and got big sunglasses on yeah give it a million dollars yeah million dollars today yes all good I don't like talking like my friend Trump here but you know i'll give you a million dollars

13:47 It was actually Trump apparently called them about 20 people and got his six million dollars before it even happened. I have a Chuck Todd clip listen to how Chuck Todd explains the difference between the Trump event and The debate because he went back and forth between two venues. It had a rock concert atmosphere All right, there are because you know Chuck Todd is mr. Rock and roll obviously There is this I've been a lot of Trump events now And if there's always this same feeling but particularly when it's on a college campus see if people that Want to just see the show some don't like Trump some love Trump But it is sort of like this rock concert feel that has dedicated groups I think fish concert or deadheads and things like that Wow so relevant

14:29 I'm thinking this is like a fish concert, man. This is really dynamite Yeah was the real rock and roll last concert? I went to was fish concert or deadhead said I'm a dead head things like that I'd give Trump had Oh Trump had Wow Chuck Todd good one Trump bed teasing was just how much energy and excitement with it Drake right on the outside everybody's freezing And then you came here to the debate and it was just so Proper I don't have to put it. It was fine, but there was just you know I had to borrow a phrase it was low energy He's even using Trump bits now Trump is a Low-energy week is weak he's weak. He's weak

CBS News Investigation and Trump Debate Boycott

The "3x3" media analysis examines how CBS News, ABC, and NBC reported on Donald Trump's decision to skip the Fox News debate in South Carolina and Iowa. Major Garrett's reporting for CBS is characterized as a "hit piece" that questioned which veterans' groups would actually benefit from Trump's fundraising. The segment also covers Bill O'Reilly's unsuccessful attempt to persuade Trump to return to the debate stage and the perceived softening of network attitudes toward Trump's candidacy.

cbs news· major garrett· donald trump· bill o'reilly· fox news· iowa caucus· veterans

15:15 Well, they had this there was an interesting thing I was watching the three by threes again and they it was interesting how they dealt with this situation. The CBS guys of course slammed- I'm sorry is this an official 3x3 report we're doing or? Okay yes. And now it's time for 3x3 You may sing along Experiment 5JCD Comparing stories from ABC, CBS & NBC Never ending 3x3 The never-ending 3x3 week 52 now CBS hates Trump, no doubt about it. I'll say and just as an example of CBS hating Trump they well they did their analysis of the whole thing contrasted with ABC and i don't know if I clipped the ABC one but I don't want to play them both because they're too long but uh... ABC did a an analysis you know what's due these are updates in that election cycle but let's listen today the eight the CBS which is I believe

16:19 a hit piece. Yes, Trump debates CBS hit piece would be the title. Yes. In South Carolina last night Donald Trump played up his counter-programming move against the Fox debate from here where do I go? Iowa! What am i going to do there who the hell knows we're gonna raise you know what we're gonna do we're gonna raise a lot of money for the vets that's what Fox News scrambled to pull Trump back on the debate stage, using Bill O'Reilly to plead its case. Forgive, go forward, answer the questions, look out for the folks just want you to consider it The Trump campaign has not said what veterans groups would benefit from his event tonight but some have said thanks but no thanks

17:04 Peter Kaufman is with the progressive vote vets org Veterans are not a political prop that they can just trot out and exploit because they don't want to They don't want to answer tough questions Trump's top competitor in Iowa Ted Cruz ridiculed the GOP frontrunner He doesn't want to answer questions from the men and women of Iowa about how his record doesn't match Chris Christie faulted Trump's hair trigger temper. This is a few days before the caucus and the candidate who is leading in some of the polls decides, in a snit not to come. That's not respectful it certainly not. What is this snit? Snit! What is this snit? Snit! Snit is dumb

17:47 What a joke. Come on, Chris. The snitch like having a fit that's not respectful is certainly not presidential. Rand Paul has clashed with Trump before I'd say that he's already hedging his bets because he's used to buying politicians while I've given him plenty of money. He predicted more time tonight to discuss shrinking the size of government. I'm concerned about the debt. I'm concerned about borrowing a million dollars every minute and I'm concerned about the government leaving us alone. Bush running in the back of the pack here still clings to hope Can Jeb Bush be a surprise story here on caucus night? Yes, since the expectations are so low.

18:24 Is he grabbing a little bit of humor all of the sudden, our boy Jeb? Yes since the expectations are so low. Well you have succeeded there governor Mission accomplished Wow and he brings that in the big fail of his brother He's gonna use mission accomplished as is pay off what a dick it was I liked it So we have what there was a couple things that happened that were interesting got 30 more seconds You've you got 30 more seconds want to play the whole thing up. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah play it out Mission accomplished Rumors have run wild all day about a possible last-minute truce, but truce between Fox and Trump. Scott moments ago Trump's campaign manager told us quote Mr.. Trump is not participating in the Fox News debate seems clear major Garrett Thanks very much CBS news by the way will be carrying tonight's trump event on our 24 hour

19:23 digital news service CBSN. It's available on all devices at cbsnews.com. CBS News dot com. They're on the bandwagon! Yes, CBSNews dot com I'm hearing a lot of noise... it's not even noise but the way the networks are talking about Trump i felt to change did you feel this in your three by three analysis? I felt it was a softening. The CBS report was a hit piece, but they softened the ability to plug their own show... I agree. Now we almost have to go into Wounded Warriors from this, but do you want to wait for that? You didn't let me answer the question. No. I don't think there's a massive change. I think there is just a softening. Yeah, a softening, but shift. There is a shift. I felt the shift. I didn't feel a shift necessarily by

20:15 Maybe since I've been following it so closely. It may have snuck past me because you would you have small little changes Yeah, cuz I'm definitely not hearing that there's a clown Chuck Todd did chalked up Chuck Todd's report is bright there as proof yeah The word what happens and I think the thing about The New York Times And I think I have A New York Times clip here Clinton was endorsed by the New York Times editorial board today and called her one of the most qualified candidates in modern history. Sanders, the paper said...

CHAPTER 06 / 51 Discussion

New York Times Endorsement and Hillary Clinton Experience

The New York Times editorial board officially endorsed Hillary Clinton, describing her as one of the most qualified candidates in modern history while noting Bernie Sanders' focus on income inequality. Commentator Van Jones appeared on CNN with Don Lemon to discuss the shift of politics into the realm of reality television. Critics argue that Clinton's experience as Secretary of State and Senator is overshadowed by foreign policy failures and a lack of legislative achievement.

hillary clinton· new york times· bernie sanders· van jones· don lemon· cnn· secretary of state

20:56 She's not one of the most qualified in recent history. I would say George HW Bush would be, and I think her husband Bill is more qualified. He was a governor for very long time and he knew how to govern...I've been hearing two things about Clinton. She's the most qualified. Van Jones had a couple of things to say about it. That guy is nuts about her now! Now? Well, it's gotten worse He said, and I have it. I tried to find it but lost it. I did get one Van Jones clip but it was essentially... Let's finish the New York Times. We've still got some seconds on this.

21:36 The paper said has brought important issues to the forefront like income inequality, but does not possess Clinton's experience Jim. Ah the experience What experience? I don't know He's been a senator forever and he's been in government most of his life. He's got more experience than she does What did she do what's her experience wife? Phony a senator who didn't do anything much like Obama and then Secretary of State have screwed up the world Yeah That's that the kind of experience they're looking for so van jones is on don lemon yeah and i have the clip if you wanted to play it but I'll explain what happened because we can skip it. Oh wow this my two favorite people well here let me explain what happens Van Jones is great, is a long thing right? I have only a piece... Now Van Jones was president Obama's green

22:26 Are and then he got didn't get kicked out didn't he said something was some controversy, and you gotta have to leave He's a communist and somebody pointed it out. And so they kicked him out there you go But now he's a political you know yeah So he comes on and he's bitching and moaning about Trump. And it was expected that we take people from the reality world, the reality TV world, then bring them over to the real world but he brought everyone over to his world! Everybody is now in a reality point! Oh no! He goes on and on... and you can hear Don trying to come in because

23:05 because clinton's do or not then but trump is doing something he's on stage right he's got a status of don lemon cuts off and joan television we're now living centers donald trump reality tv show and we can't get out of it and so i think that uh... you describe for us to him you know understand in some ways that Politics has always had an entertainment component to it, but this is just gone so far away from what you would ordinarily expect. It used to be done and you remember these days I don't know a couple years ago where a politician would fight to get on the debate stage because they wanted to engage the public This is the first time in American history that a politician said I'm not going to debate and got more attention than everybody else combined

23:54 something terribly wrong with the system. Stand by, I just want to check in for a moment Donald Trump looks like he's leaving the stage and the music is saying something You know, they're singing him off. Adele rolling in the deep so I think he's probably gonna go over to the spin room Ryan and you know to Ben Jones this point we can talk about a spin or whatever but has he fired two... Has he fired the Republican Party? Is he fired Fox News? He is in a war zone Alright, goodbye Van. Whatever Van Jones was saying... Goodbye Van! ...Don Lemon was already all in He's gone that was good. He's gone he's into the reality of using the term fired and I'm watching this take place and Van Jones is killed his segment was off And they had some new little talking head in the box perfect, and I'm thinking what is van jones? Thinking to himself when this happened though

CHAPTER 07 / 51 Discussion

Bill O'Reilly and Donald Trump Religious Dispute

Bill O'Reilly attempted to use Christian tenets of forgiveness to pressure Donald Trump into reconciling with Fox News and Megyn Kelly. During a televised interview, Trump responded by citing "an eye for an eye," leading O'Reilly to argue that such a philosophy is strictly Old Testament. The exchange highlighted a growing rift between O'Reilly and the Fox News executive team regarding their inability to manage Trump's media presence.

bill o'reilly· donald trump· megyn kelly· fox news· christianity· old testament· forgiveness

24:51 What happens is this is what you, this is live television. It's how it goes and don't take it personally Van we love you man talk to you next week now O'Reilly was apparently assigned I think O'Reilly and I was switching back and forth And he was on, so the Trump thing everyone's live on the Trump thing. I have to say Rachel Manno but you know after the first 15 minutes and they came back to her she was rolling her eyes going well we're not gonna stay with this all night really really childish really childish She was funny, I saw that too. But then I saw O'Reilly and he had the split screen and he had the debate of course on the split screen... And he looks pissed! He just looked mad. Well, I'm glad you brought that up because on Thursday before... During the day they brought Trump back onto The O'Reilly Show and I believe the following if you listen to this O'Reilly, this is the clip where it says Trump-O'Reilly

25:52 If I, if my interpretation is correct and you can kind of hear it in O'Reilly's voice. O'Reilly is having a feud with Megyn Kelly. Oh for sure he's pissed off that they didn't have him on the show. He never got to be a questioner or anything like that. The controversies on Fox are supposed to be with him. That's his problem Now, O'Reilly I believe was, since he's a blowhard of sorts. An entertaining one! He came out and pretty sure he told the executives, I can get Trump back Oh. Turn it over to me. Ah, okay. I'll get him back. Step aside boys! Yeah let me show you how it's done. Let me show you how we do this So he does this thing with Trump and one of the rare things with Trump where Trump is on a split screen with Trump but Trump is on video normally he does all his stuff on audio and you know over the phone which is insulting to the interview if you don't have too there's no reason for him to do that No

26:51 And you could see it in Trump's eyes that he can understand that O'Reilly was trying to work him. He was trying to work him, and then...and he wasn't going to get worked, he wasn't getting sold, he made his mind up. So he showed the kind of sales resistance it was absolute That got O'Reilly actually aggravated and the last part of this clip you can hear it in O'Reilly's voice. He is like not getting Trump to go along with the program, he is going to be embarrassed Megan is gonna be on him Oh! You said that you could do this and you couldn't And he just knew that was his last ditch to try save the situation and he couldn't do it. And believe me folks

27:38 This is exactly how it works in television land. This is exactly how it works! In your Christian faith, there is a very significant tenet and that's the tenet of forgiveness Don't you think that's the right thing to do? It probably is, but you know it's called an eye for an eye I guess also. You can look at it that way. No no no! That's Old Testament! Bill! No no no no! If you're the Christian the eye for the eye... Wait a minute that was his approach? His approach was to call Donald Trump out based on religion?! He- he- I believe he knew that Trump is kind of a lightweight religions guy. He's not religious. No. He's like Sanders

28:18 And so, but he likes to portray himself as such. So he thought... I believe this is what I'm thinking as somebody who has some clue about sales And I believe he thought he could leverage that by kind of embarrassing him. If you were a Christian, you'd do this and so he figured Trump would have to duck the wonder. That's very short-sighted of O'Reilly. That's not the way... I thought it was very poorly executed but it's called an eye for an eye also. You can look at it that way too probably. No no no! That's Old Testament. Bill, if you're the Christian, the eye for the eye goes out Here's what it is. Turn any of the- Bill, let me tell you're taking this much more seriously than I am. Excellent Yeah and now go to the part two where this is the desperation Alright think about it say look I might come back forgive

29:11 Go forward, answer the questions. Look out for the folks." Well even though you and I had an agreement that you wouldn't ask me that which we did... I will therefore forget that you asked me that because I told you up front don't ask me that question because it's an embarrassing question to you. And of course i'm not going to listen but i'm not gonna listen to anybody. Ohhhh.... It was chilly. It is wonderful to see that Trump has now successfully alienated the left and the right. Yes, he's alienated everybody but the public! Except the public exactly

Hillary Clinton Fear and Trump's Campaign Tactics

Speculation arises that the New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton out of fear of her potential retribution rather than genuine support. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's campaign tactics are analyzed, including his use of a private 757 aircraft and red-carpet arrivals to create a sense of spectacle. An anecdote about Trump inviting children to tour his plane is cited as a reason for his high favorability among the public despite opposition from establishment media and pollsters.

29:50 Except the public, the public. And there was a... I tried to clip something but it was just too long and nothing really good enough but they put in the show notes of C-SPAN call in you know their call in show and it didn't matter what line they were picking up It was one after another yeah Trump now whether that is his ground game or people we can get our producers to call in on C-SPAN so he's clearly got some mastery And the public... I think what you're gonna see is, now going back to the New York Times thing when they endorsed Hillary. They did that for one reason from my perspective. They're afraid of her. Hell yeah! They know that if they don't endorse her and she gets in

30:32 she's going to be trouble. Sanders won't be, so if he gets in and they didn't endorse him... So what? He got in. Just on the public loving Trump I don't know if this is the way it happened Trump landed his plane It was all coordinated I think it must have been you know seven o'clock on the dot whatever No, a little bit earlier than that. And they actually break the news to Trump is arriving and his plane is... They've lit it on the tarmac John. They've put lights out. It's beautiful. Nice! Beautiful. And they have a little podium he's got the red carpet stairs coming out of the plane so 757 is a great plane and you know gets up there and says wow I didn't expect all these people here. I was going to get off the plane and go we have about five or six stops

31:25 And I see this kind of a crowd, so we have to... We can't just leave you flat. Right? We gotta talk for our little while Yeah and he does something that always works! I know this from my own experience It always works By the way do any- Do we have like young kids here Like 10 years old Okay, let's do this. I have a little bit of an idea we'll have it look at that handsome guy I haven't why don't we put them over here and will let them but without their parents? We'll let them run through the plane does that sound good So let's get a little group together. We'll get some groups who are running through That's like the helicopter rides remember yeah The kids go run through to play no way

32:07 No wonder people like this guy. Come on, how simple do you have to see things? This is so obvious and people love the guy except... Well you're gonna see Fox never liked Trump to begin with they let's thing at the very beginning of the first debate proved it right and the guy who does the poll the polls yeah the pollster he's now you can't trust him I know somebody tweeted something i mentioned this And he's not trustworthy. And now you're gonna see O'Reilly, who has been kind of on the fence because he is objective and neither right nor left or whatever he likes to say He is going to start going after Trump because he really sees himself as a head-hopper One of those people that can make and break ya! And he's gonna go after Trump and regret it

Wounded Warrior Project Public Relations Response

Joanne Freed, the Public Relations Director for the Wounded Warrior Project, sent an email to the show thanking the hosts for criticizing a CBS News investigation into the charity. The organization claims the CBS report, led by Chip Reid, was a "shameful" dramatization that harmed the veteran population. A leaked audio clip of Chip Reid suggests he personally pitched positive stories about the project that were rejected by network executives in favor of the investigative piece.

wounded warrior project· joanne freed· cbs news· chip reid· public relations· veterans· charity

32:57 It's going to be a while because Trump doesn't like the idea of slamming guys like he knows, a fellow traveler guy who is nasty. Yeah and O'Reilly is very nasty and he doesn't want to get into it with him but he's going to have to at some point cause O'Reilly is gonna start to go after him Now I wanna talk about the wounded warriors for a moment before we move away from Trump But we have the same clip by sawing in your list and I'm like ah! We had the same clip Okay This is their out Yeah, this is... I also want to say that I received an email from the public relations director of Wounded Warrior Project. Okay? You want me to read it? Yeah! Because a lot of things happened with our conversation about... Yes, so we got sent to those guys and they listened to us Well there's a couple of things Some people were... I got a lot of military pushback

33:55 from people in the military, and you know these are people who send me encrypted messages. Wisely? Yes and they really really don't like Wounded Warrior Project at all and I do have some theories about it first Adam & John sorry i couldn't find john's email address this is from Joanne Freed the public relations director yeah I appreciate the segment you did on wounded warrior project your segment helped put smiles on our faces just when we needed it most Thank you for noticing how shameful the reporting was by CBS. We wish more people had your take and we definitely need this type of support! It's amazing how CBS with a few voiceovers and dramatization can cause such a media frenzy, the story did not do the veteran population any good." Don't know if you happen to see the 35 second video clip we posted on CBS

34:42 about, it should have been about CBS. I wanted to share with you the stance you took on why this is...this segment came out-came about with such a harsh lashing out our organization definitely makes sense especially after you watch this clip! So here's the clip uh...I guess...uh...here it is. I enhanced this one a little bit but I'm sure its the same clip so and this is at the end of the interview so CBS did an interview with the CEO that guy on the horse he was not his horse in the interview who came in with a segue and at the very end, I've seen this happen so many times. I have never done this because it's a chicken shit thing to do and it shows you how pathetic CBS is. This isn't the letter? This is me! We're done with the letter! No... This is Chip Reid who did the interview and he said that the interview was done and then he just thanking the CEO who we just excoriated with A-hole questions and then he does this

35:42 All right, I think we're good. I'd much rather be doing just a happy story about Mets but...I do love telling these stories when they're great in fact i have a whole file full of stories Wounded Warrior Projects stories that I have I've been pitching over time and haven't gotten, but anyway. So what he's saying is, you know, Hey man, you know, sorry to ask these questions, you know? But I love doing it when the things are good about vets. I have a whole file of stories that I've pitched that are positive but they just won't do it and then he ends with... Anyway! When I got a job, You gotta job. When I gotta job, You gotta job What's your job then? To be in A-hole?! Unbelievable Where did you get that??

36:29 From the woman who from the oh is that that was oh jeez. That's a very embarrassing thing to have recorded You don't have that you that's not the clip you have no, not at all really No I have a clip that is CBS because there wasn't III what? Maybe can read a couple of the notes from the vets But whether or not this, we're not saying this. I have it let's discuss that in a moment. I want to hear your clip and then i have a theory about Wounded Warrior Project. I did more work after this but my clip also entails the follow-up you just heard sorry hold it yeah sorry my as you know we did a whole thing uh we played a lot of the CBS hit piece which was weak it was poorly done It was using some crazy is making

Charity Navigator Watchlist and Executive Salaries

Charity Navigator placed the Wounded Warrior Project on its "watch list" following allegations of lavish spending, though critics note that many prominent organizations, including Common Cause and the Nature Conservancy, appear on similar lists. An analysis of the organization's Form 990 reveals CEO Steven Nardizzi earns $475,000 annually, which is compared to the $600,000 salary of Planned Parenthood's Cecile Richards. Questions remain regarding the specific metrics the charity uses to define successful veteran reintegration.

charity navigator· wounded warrior project· clinton foundation· cecile richards· planned parenthood· form 990· ceo salary

37:16 the audience excitable about a guy driving a Segway as though that's some sort of motive and a five dollar per head bar tab. And a $5 per head bar tab. It's an outrage, I tell you! Outrageous and so it was weak it was weak so here is how CBS gets out of it. You just heard Donald Trump mention our CBS News investigation of the Wounded Warrior project which exposed lavish spending for parties and conventions well today Charity Navigator, a national evaluator of charities put WWP on its watch list

37:53 Yeah, yeah. They're on the watch list with everybody that's a charity except the Clinton Foundation! Oh gee... they're not on the watch list? You can go to this watch list. The watch list is everybody, common cause... Here's just the Cs if I just started reading the Cs. Care! Child Health, Child Leukemia Foundation, Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism City of Harvest, City of Hope Common Cause, Common Cause Educational Fund Conservation Fund Concord Coalition, it goes on... Cousteau Society Covenant house it goes on and on and on this if they watch everybody And then they grade them all then they did what they just put them on the watch list recently like Just now, and then they gave him an immediate grade of a C Which wasn't enough because there's plenty of veterans organizations that charity watch has rated as F. Okay? I want to give you my opinion on this based upon a Tina and I did a lot of research yesterday about

38:55 One of the many things we share in common is our love for Form 990. She works at a non-profit, so I said you could really help...I'd love your opinion on this organization and so she went through the full nine...she took couple hours to go through the whole website and here's what she came back with. First The idea of huge salaries, which always comes up. Same with Planned Parenthood although we don't really complain that much about the $600k Miss... What's her name? Richard's miss Cecile Richards is making. Cecile, the CEO of Wounded Warrior Project makes $475k but when you have an organization of this size that is not a crazy number if you want professionals running the business but I said I got a lot of pushback people saying these guys are corrupt they outsource things to family members which they need to disclose if that's true... You can do that we have to disclose it on your form 990 is not there

39:58 It's very complicated to understand from the website what exactly their goal is, although it's to help vets—wounded warriors specifically—reintegrate. Help them get jobs and help them with financial stability. What's complicated from their communication is they say that they helped 8000 families...it's now more 16 thousand families and about 80 thousand wounded warriors But we don't know, they do not explain exactly what success is. I think it's different based upon each case but they also don't say if that's unique 80 thousand or if they help those eighty thousand they get help multiple ways the same person getting helped multiple ways and then

CHAPTER 12 / 51 Discussion

Major Garrett and Katy Tur Media Bias

Donald Trump's refusal to donate to the Wounded Warrior Project is linked to the negative CBS News investigation. The discussion highlights personal animosity between Trump and reporters Major Garrett and Katy Tur. Garrett's bias is traced back to an early campaign encounter where Trump insulted his journalistic integrity, while Tur reportedly faced similar friction after being assigned the Trump beat for NBC.

major garrett· katy tur· donald trump· cbs news· nbc news· journalism· media bias

46:10 So I think all help is good help, but you're always going to get these kinds of pushback from people. I understand it! What's interesting is if you listen to the report with Scott Pelley talking about how they are on the watch list at Charity Watch which everyone's on their watch list But they played again by the way that was chicken shit reporting. Oh totally! To do that but they also premised it with Donald Trump mentioned because somebody at CBS asked Trump in an interview Where's this money going? Where is all this vet money going that you... Well, he said they looked at the ten organizations and they had spread it out. They looked at a bunch and they said... And the guy specifically said what about wounded warriors? And Trump says we're not gonna do wounded warriors because of that CBS report Oh I didn't hear him say oh that's great

47:00 And so that kind of pulled the rug out from under the CBS thing. So then you got this thing with Scott Pelley where he references Trump and then says they're on the watch list, and then they drop it. It's dropped! Yeah this is CBS. CBS is...of the three networks- They hate the veterans man! The CBS hates Trump. This is the group that has Major Garrett Who really hates Trump? And this stems from a very, or I've pointed this out in another show. This stems from one of the first encounters on the campaign trail very early on when Trump was on the front page of The New York Daily News as a clown and Major Garrett ran into him and Major Garrett asked him something and Trump says if you were a good journalist you wouldn't ask a question like that and insulted it. Insulted Major Garrett and walked

47:56 Turned his back on him and walked, just walked off. And I think Major Garrett should be taken off the Trump beat because he is got a bone to pick and he's doing his best you know give Trump a bad time but he is just should be taken of this beat immediately It's like that turd girl whatever her name is on NBC. Turr, Turr, Kristy Turr Turr. I don't know why turd comes up, it just sounds... So Christie said she had the Trump beat solely at the beginning and she got into a beef with Trump and he just gave her nothing but grief for being incompetent

48:37 And she started going after him. I mean, I don't know why he does this but they should...if these operations are legit they say okay you insulted the reporter the reporters got to be taken off the beat it's just that simple yeah i mean you could leave them on if you just want to get after the guy but you're not supposed to do that If the guy insults the reporter the reporter has done is done Yeah! I have only two clips from the actual debate no actually only one clip I have two. I have the end of Kasich As far as I'm concerned, Kasich who you know. I like that he's still up there and he has a like his strategy is simple and he repeats it over and over again. I did this in Ohio. I can do I can scale it up from America. Yeah yeah well that's no that's his theme but when he laid into this topic be disqualified disqualified himself for any any office representing the citizens of the United States as far as I'm concerned. You appear to back

CHAPTER 13 / 51 Discussion

John Kasich and FBI Encryption Backdoors

During a recent debate, Governor John Kasich expressed support for creating "backdoors" in encrypted cellphone technology to assist the FBI in tracking terrorists. This position was criticized by MIT scientists and tech companies who argue that such vulnerabilities would be exploited by hackers and foreign adversaries. The hosts dismiss Kasich's stance as technologically illiterate and a disqualifying factor for his presidential candidacy.

john kasich· fbi· mit· encryption· smartphone· cybersecurity· terrorism

49:37 in another debate, a so-called backdoor to encrypted cell phone technology which protects most smartphones that we all have from hacking and it includes our phones and also protects the cellphones of the terrorists. Now the tech companies in a group of MIT scientists smart guys right? Smart guys! If they create a way for the FBI to have a back door into our encrypted communications then the bad guy's will exploit too and they say that this is going cause more security problems than would solve He watches too much television. No, no, no...

50:31 You are a covert A-hole is what you are. Some of this, oh we'll take care of it and fix in the back and won't tell the American public that were gonna have back doors Sorry Kasich No more, your gone That was really really lame Huh Really lame Yeah that was bad Bill was out on the campaign trail Yes And I think we have an early warning signs Oh Of his health Okay. Listen to him shilling for Hillary Who will do the most to make you a part of the future that the president painted in the state of the union? How are we gonna do it and who's the best changemaker to do it It's not close, Hillary is the best changemaker I don't know did you hear at the beginning of that Did you hear how- You sure that wasn't a recording problem No! That was him he slurred He's straining to get the words out listen Who will do the most to make you apart

CHAPTER 14 / 51 Discussion

Bill Clinton Health Concerns and Slurred Speech

Audio from a recent campaign appearance by Bill Clinton suggests potential health issues, as he appeared to slur his words while advocating for Hillary Clinton. The hosts create an "ISO" audio clip of the former president struggling to say "who will do the most," comparing his current state to a "falling apart" version of his former self.

bill clinton· hillary clinton· campaign trail· health· slurred speech· iso· audio analysis

51:31 I can't believe this. Yeah, that's... I took it straight. No, you're using an old tape recorder or something. It's fluctuating! I made the clip myself! Who will do the most to break you apart? That's terrible! You gotta ISO that! Just a who will do the most...? Yeah. I should probably do that, let's see how far we want to go with it. Who will do the most to make you a part of the future that the president painted in the state of the union? Just who will do the most is probably the best part isn't it? Yeah, this race has really fallen apart That's the best part where he is really falling apart. Yeah, we like that! That's terrible I've been listening to some of these things and i never caught that Let's go back to the debate because they do have a couple clips that are interesting Well im just finishing up this ISO for you

52:16 I'm just gonna do who will be, who will do the most right? Yeah that's all you want. That's dynamite! Hold on save selection and we save the selection as Bill... Okay play it out. Bill Who Will Do The Most This is an end of show stuff man i gotta do this right hold on seven five okay alright okay We have successfully created the ISO And here it is WHO WILL DO THE MOST! Who will do the most! Why do we do this? Because it's hilarious, that's why. Poor Bill. So I caught a little bitty thing that I think we're going to start to watch for and this was during the debate when Bush and Rubio went at each other... And play this clip and i'll tell you what the gimmick is.

CHAPTER 15 / 51 Discussion

Jeb Bush and the "Marco" Diminutive

Jeb Bush utilized a specific debate tactic by referring to Senator Marco Rubio simply as "Marco," which is interpreted as a diminutive intended to make Rubio appear inexperienced or like a "little boy." This strategy is compared to Sarah Palin asking Joe Biden if she could call him "Joe" during the 2008 VP debate. The use of first names in a formal debate setting is viewed as a calculated sign of disrespect by political consultants.

jeb bush· marco rubio· sarah palin· joe biden· debate tactics· political consultants· etiquette

53:12 So, okay. This is historical stuff with these guys. Yeah play it again Okay, because he used to support a path to citizenship. Did you well but you changed? Okay, so this was an exchange that Bush won But what was interesting here and I think you're gonna start to see this would bush did somebody this was a consultant that came up With this hmm using the word Marco Was a diminutive So did you, Marco? Ah yes. Remember when Sarah Palin went up there to talk to do the debate with Joe Lynch? Yeah can I call ya Joe? She asked him specifically if she could call him Joe because it's disrespectful to use people's first names in these environments Correct so he is using...she is just using Marco as though he was a little boy

54:00 And it was done that way too, with an arrogance. It said so did you Marco! Yeah well he doesn't like him We're going to see more of the use of... Senator, it should be senator which is what you call... It should be. Yeah, it should be yeah. Senator Rubio That's not right senator as what he should say I agree that's not right Marco is an insult and this is going to be used more and more because Marco Rubio I don't think noticed it but he may have but He's too inexperienced I think He's inexperienced? Yes He's a kid Now, meanwhile we have all the stuff going on with new emails from Hillary. I went back and she's been very consistent, very smart this way but I did not send or receive any emails marked! Marked!

CHAPTER 16 / 51 Discussion

FBI Investigation of Hillary Clinton Emails

Reports from "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski suggest that the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server is far more advanced than the public realizes. Sources within the Obama administration and the FBI indicate that agents are "chattering" about a potential indictment. The timing of the investigation's conclusion could be "cataclysmic" for Clinton's primary campaign against Bernie Sanders.

hillary clinton· jim comey· fbi· joe scarborough· mika brzezinski· morning joe· department of justice

54:52 Although I believe that technically she has the responsibility not to do that. Well, there's also a discussion that they never are marked per se in the email or in an exchange it's just you're supposed to know But there's, now remember it is the FBI who was investigating Hillary Clinton for her emails and improprieties. We don't really even know what the investigation is but we do know who runs the FBI that is the long-term banking Republican known as Jim Comey And you just gotta think that he's probably making a little bit of trouble. And it's great when these things leak out and I love listening to the Morning Joe dudes, and Mika because they like to be kind of elitist and let it slip out what people are talking about and what people aren't talking about It is disgustingly elitist the way they do this

55:47 As particularly Joe Scarborough saying I know something we all know about it, but you know We don't really talk about I'm gonna let a little bit out and in fact screw you Scarborough. Hey Mark He's on with mark Halperin. It's from a network executive High up at another network that we all know that asked her first of all What are you doing talking to another Network executive high-up? You don't like our station anymore That's what I'd say. What are you doing? Hey Scarborough, what are you doing at work that we all know is that a party? Maybe maybe you don't work executive high up in another network that we all know that asked When we were going to start talking about Why most of us around this table or hearing from multiple sources and I'm sure you are too But now he's discussing a collusion in the news business

56:38 Hey, when are you guys going to start reporting on that thing we all know about? This is playing into the basic public suspicion. Somewhat based on truth by the way... That the news media go around and hang out at bars and they drink and discuss things and collude! Yeah, that's exactly what's happening Most of us around kind of bringing it he's given a soft landing on this very When we were going to start talking about what? most of us around this table or I love that really, I'm really careful with my words hearing from multiple sources and i'm sure you are too

57:22 that the Hillary Clinton investigation of the FBI is far more progressed and we're hearing it, Meika and I have been hearing it from the top officials in the Obama administration for actually several months now. And we can't go to a meeting in Washington where we don't hear this. I'm sure you're hearing the same thing." Do you think Joe and Meeka take meetings in Washington? Hey, we want to have a meeting about you. I doubt it too. We don't hear that. I'm sure you're hearing the same thing What what is what? What are your all of our sources are high up for telling us and Nicole was hearing the same thing that this investigations far more advanced than then we The public knows what are you hearing? Yeah

58:05 Well, there are three things that people are keying off of I think Jeff first of all There a lot of chatter amongst FBI agents many of whom have never been big fans of the Clintons But she's and we've talked about this a lot. They do not let especially Hillary Do not like her And we have from inside We don't know if those people are still working there but the Secret Service always said they're not FBI but the Secret Service always said we won't let her win We won't let her win.

58:51 I like it. So that's what we can look forward to, we're now waiting for the indictment this is interesting. Undermine confidence in some Democrats and the notion of going forward with Secretary Clinton and the last thing is there are some people in the White House who are starting to talk about this It's not clear to me whether they know what's happening or there's just their intuition but the body language among some Obama administration officials is This is more serious And something's gonna happen again The timing of it could be if not cataclysmic pretty bad for Secretary Clinton Yep. Well, maybe this invites all kinds of speculation about what could be done to change the news cycle so Clinton can get through this? Well also I saw Elizabeth Warren- And you may have caught it with that little ISO clip you made. Bill!

59:41 Yeah, exactly. Play it again. No I just played it hold on a second play it again. I can do it! I'm good I'm getting there. I got it Who will do the most? I got it. I nailed it Yeah, you-you've got All I need is 30 years and a shaky hand And then I can be Bill God It's terrible The chatroom feels he's channeling Elvis and I think there's something to it Oh! That's a good catch, my friend Who will be the most We're gonna win this race Who will do the most Come on boys let's go to the big kahuna Who will do the most? Yeah good alright I'm done Tourettes

CHAPTER 17 / 51 Discussion

Elizabeth Warren Presidential Prospects and Robocall Complaints

Speculation regarding Elizabeth Warren entering the presidential race suggests she could unite the supporters of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. However, she is criticized for failing to take effective action against illegal robocalls during her time in government. An anecdote describes a persistent robocall targeting "Mimi Smith Dvorak" that failed to provide a functional opt-out mechanism, highlighting Warren's perceived lack of legislative results.

elizabeth warren· bernie sanders· donald trump· robocalls· mimi smith dvorak· consumer protection· twitter

1:00:37 It helps. Yeah, so Elizabeth Warren... let me see if I can find her. She tweeted something that-I got a number of retweets even from it. You're gonna start lowering her odds? I think the odds are 201 right now for her to run or win. To win! If she runs she wins There is no doubt in my mind, if she runs she wins. Republicans and Democrats will all vote for her She has Bernie Sanders and Trump rolled into one without the annoyances And she seems reasonable and she's full of crap

1:01:13 Just what we need in America. That's for a president call you know she was the one who did the big Investigation of the woman to people that keep robo calls oh, yeah Robo called she didn't do anything She did nothing so I get this robocall it's come twice And I got my recording put on the show if I can catch it comes on says hello Are you Mimi Smith Dvorak? If you're Mimi Smith Dvorak, press one. If you're not Mimi Smith Dvorak, press two if your if you want to hold for Mimi Smith Dvorak press three and it goes on and on So I push the first time he comes I just pressed four. I think was forwarded to disconnect Yeah, because just kept playing and then just kept playing and playing and playing so I just hung it up

1:01:59 And so I went, so it came again like the next day. Are you Mimi Smith-Dvorak? Press one if your arm...you know and it goes on So I said okay I'm gonna talk to these people and find out what's going on. So I press 1 Are you Mimi Smith-Dvorak? Press 1. If you're not Mimi Smith-Dvorak, I press one again." Nothing! It doesn't do anything. You press all the buttons and it just keeps playing this message. What a jip! A total jip and so he's just hung up on it but now I'm thinking geez...I mean this is the kind of thing that we were supposed to have ended. And I'm just saying Elizabeth Warren is a do nothing big talker and she's just shooing into becoming president

CHAPTER 18 / 51 Discussion

Twitter Technical Issues and PewDiePie Artwork

Twitter experienced significant technical difficulties, including the failure of its "t.co" URL shortener, which broke links across the platform. The hosts discuss the dangers of centralized web services and the "flaky" nature of modern social media infrastructure. Additionally, they credit "Network Dolly" for the episode's artwork, which may feature the likeness of YouTube personality PewDiePie.

twitter· t.co· centralization· pewdiepie· network dolly· podcast art· url shortener

1:02:41 Well, she was tweeting some stuff that was very presidential. And I would tell you what it was but Twitter seems to be down at the moment. Yeah they've had some real problems. They had... Did you see that their... God how often we've warned against this centralization trick? Their URL shortener has been flaky Very flaky So if you post- If you paste a URL or you tweet a URL It always gets changed to t.co slash Right, a shortened version. Yeah this thing is breaking so that means that not just if you post the link that people can't get to it but every link you ever posted people can't get too yeah good work everybody on the centralization and now Twitter's not even loading for me I should have saved it my own fault It'll still be there when it finally comes back up You know with that I think I should thank you for your courage and passion

1:03:43 That say in the morning to you and passion John C Dvorak. Yes, your passions are your passion c stands for what come passion? The sea stands for compassion Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry! In the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feeding the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there Yes, in the morning everybody in the chatroom noagendastream.com good to have y'all here uh...in the morning too let's see our artist was Network Dolly for episode seven nine or four of The Best Podcasts in Universe and you'll recall that title was Party Boat and the artwork it was a nice piece

1:04:20 It was the no agenda one with their listeners. You kind of had the silhouette of a guy and gal in that little yoga pose, it was nice I liked it! We believe this is... if the artist has another can say otherwise this is the character PewDiePie Oh you think yeah? Yeah probably And I say that because he submitted too many pieces and many of them were meh. No, and they also see also as a style most artists by the way

CHAPTER 19 / 51 Discussion

No Agenda Value-for-Value Funding Plea

Adam Curry sent a "disheartened" email to the listener base after a period of low donations, resulting in a record-breaking response from "Executive Producers" and "Associate Executive Producers." The hosts discuss the financial realities of running an independent podcast and the "celebrity with no money" trap. The influx of support solidified the show's "Value-for-Value" model for the month of January.

1:04:57 Have start identifiable styles mm-hmm I mean we can like you can just see the high end the ones who make my a lot of money as artists and there's we have about three or four of them that are High-end professionals not Professionals are professionals, and there's a high end professional The high-end profession is extremely stylish And they haven't real like oh this is obviously so-and-so And just, you know... So you sent out an email which had a dire message. I sent out an email, a plea! Yes. I only do this—I think the last one I sent at this level was probably two years ago But this January was particularly bad It was terrible and I did say that last—what really got to me was the last mailing which was done for the previous show

1:05:40 It was 18, because I had just cleared the account. Completely cleared the account of all the money and everything before I sent out to emailing and then get to midnight so I can finish putting this together And there were eighteen responses Yeah, that's so I said that was not right and Maybe the headline. I mean it got the response rate was what it was It wasn't bad but it wasn't great but it was but the 18 was just got to me So I put out a note expressing my Disheartened attitude about this in Seoul core when we do this We get to really see how many people really give a crap yeah And you get you get a lot of interesting feedback You get a lot of feedback

1:06:25 And we get a lot of donations. Of course, it slows down again but we get a lot of donations right at that point. So this is going to be a lot of donations to thank people for today I have to say which is fine and great and I really want to thank everybody for being so responsive but it was an email that was asking for support.

Iowa Caucus Procedures and Microsoft App Concerns

Todd McGreevey provides a "boots on the ground" report from Davenport, Iowa, explaining the unique and often confusing procedures of the Iowa caucuses. A new Microsoft-developed app will be used to transmit vote totals from 1,681 precincts to Des Moines, raising concerns about potential technical failure or fraud. Unlike previous years, the GOP will "lock in" delegate percentages at the precinct level to prevent late-stage manipulation.

1:13:16 Let's face it dogs are pretty cool. They come in different shapes and sizes a dog sitting in the toilet right now on the video Each one has its own character impersonal acute dog videos dreams Two things they all have in common though, they smell to play and man can they smell bad? Excellent alright there you go. There's your shout out Okay, I have not tried this product. I don't know if I can endorse it yet And I don't have dogs But I do like the idea onward so you got this very long note which is just I wish I wouldn't advise people to write more succinctly a little bit because It screws up the spreadsheet to such an extreme. I can't read the guys name Can you read down yours? Yeah, Todd McGreevey

1:14:09 And where's he from? Davenport, Iowa. 420 miles. Yeah, this is Tom. He's one of our meeters...meeting greeters. Yes. Boots on the ground report from Iowa is there are no teeth in the preference voting that goes on in the Iowa caucuses. Well this a note that necessary for either party. Republicans write-in their name and then have...actually I have a clip and I want to play this clip before I read this note. How caucuses work How caucuses work. Here's the question because I think a lot of viewers are confused about this, Monday night comes what happens? They go to local school they go to local where do they go you go like in your district and how many people do you sit around and talk to good great questions The way i explain it to my students actually is a private Do you consider that to be a great question

1:14:52 I thought it was a great question so i didn't die because i knew you were going to say stop the clip because of that. Normally, I do bust in and then go all caught again. No, no, you go like in your district and how many people do you sit around and talk to? Good great questions! The way I explain to my students actually is a primary as a vote, a caucus is a conversation followed by about conversation. I think that's where the grassroots come in. That's also if we want talk later about fluidity... We don't have much time let's cut to the chase So the bottom line, they're going to go in almost every campaign is going to have somebody designated to talk. If not citizens will naturally stand up and talk advocate for their candidate there'll be some conversation and then you have a vote almost immediately after that even before the meetings over that boat will be transmitted through our new app with Microsoft and we'll start adding up. And then what? What is this at Microsoft app? What was

1:15:45 They're gonna do caucusing through a Microsoft... Caucusing with the- I have no idea. Even before the meeting's over, that vote will be transmitted through our new app with Microsoft. Oh this is pfft! Fraud! And we'll start adding up those results in Des Moines. Well I can tell you what's going to happen right now This app will fail Somethings gonna go wrong It always does This is dumb. And then what, is that the last round? I mean because they say people can change their minds and there might be a vote and then they switch their candidate... At this point once that vote has taken in those 1,681 precincts That vote has transmitted to us Actually we've done something different this year in the GOP We're actually going to lock those percentages in What I mean by that Is let's say Candidate A gets 30% That 30% from that candidate will remain at The county convention, district convention

1:16:32 all the way to the national convention. Thank goodness, thank goodness because I remember being on the air last year where there was some alleged rumor of The Missing Van and we thought, We're tired and want to go to bed so let's just count the votes! Good luck Jack! We'll take care of that, I promise Megan. Yeah this is a good little piece particularly what Todd is sending in People outside of America don't understand how it works. Nobody does because this is an old-fashioned system that nobody uses anymore except Iowa and what it amounts to, to me...because I was raised under the newer systems in California and elsewhere, it amounts to be electioneering. You go into a big meeting, okay we're gonna vote and normally people just vote you can't...there's signs in some places in California says no electioneering.

1:17:15 You can't be out in front of an election place with picket signs saying, vote for Trump. That's illegal but in Iowa this is just the opposite it's like you sit and you argue with oh no Trump sucks! No he doesn't he's okay because of this and this and this and we're gonna I think go yeah okay now let's vote but this would be illegal in most places but that's the way they do it so let me read from our contact there on the boots on the ground No teeth in the preference voting that goes on the Iowa caucuses for either party. Republicans write in a name and then hand fold a piece of paper to candidates faithful within each precinct who have positioned themselves at each precinct to collect the pieces, the papers or otherwise the votes I've watched the final vote count several times up close That's not where this slide of hand comes in It's when the folded pieces of paper all gathered and whisked away To be counted soon thereafter that has no chain of custody

CHAPTER 22 / 51 Discussion

Iowa Caucus Corruption and Ron Paul 2012 Precedent

The Iowa caucus system is criticized for its lack of "chain of custody" for physical ballots and the potential for "nepotism and sabotage" by county chairs. The 2012 Ron Paul campaign is cited as an example where grassroots delegates were "bulldozed" by the establishment at the national convention. Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee's involvement in the current cycle is also noted, particularly their attendance at Donald Trump's veterans' event.

1:16:32 all the way to the national convention. Thank goodness, thank goodness because I remember being on the air last year where there was some alleged rumor of The Missing Van and we thought, We're tired and want to go to bed so let's just count the votes! Good luck Jack! We'll take care of that, I promise Megan. Yeah this is a good little piece particularly what Todd is sending in People outside of America don't understand how it works.

That's illegal but in Iowa this is just the opposite it's like you sit and you argue with oh no Trump sucks! No he doesn't he's okay because of this and this and this and we're gonna I think go yeah okay now let's vote but this would be illegal in most places but that's the way they do it so let me read from our contact there on the boots on the ground No teeth in the preference voting that goes on the Iowa caucuses for either party. Republicans write in a name and then hand fold a piece of paper to candidates faithful within each precinct who have positioned themselves at each precinct to collect the pieces, the papers or otherwise the votes I've watched the final vote count several times up close That's not where this slide of hand comes in It's when the folded pieces of paper all gathered and whisked away To be counted soon thereafter that has no chain of custody

1:18:11 I've proposed precinct meeting rules where at a minimum the number of so-called voters in the room was known before the pieces of paper were counted. To no avail! The voters are sheeple Regardless, the real vote that takes place in the Republican precinct caucuses is the election of local delegates. This may be why by the way I'm going to stop this maybe why it was wise of Trump to have the Santorum guy yes in Iowa because he knows the tricks and Santorum did it last time in Iowa We won yeah, he won. I went on to be a frothy mess on the internet you know it's fighting Santorum and Hucklebee

1:18:56 Hucklebee. They both went to the Trump event! Yes, I saw it was good It was what was funny at the beginning of the debates when they had their initial kids table debate, Santorum had a big smile on his face because he already signed onto the Trump event and they were grilling him about why you go into this. It was easy, veterans a-holes that was an easy question. But he said I've got nothing else to do at nine o'clock which is when the big debate was. I think if Trump gets in and say, I don't...I have not been predicting he's going to win the presidency but let's say he does. You can be sure that Santorum and Hucklebee- Good to go of course! Hucklebee will get on the cabinet or they'll get some position from the people In fact Hucklebee's name will change to Hucklebee That's gonna be that great, that huge

1:19:54 Our contact goes on. Regardless, the real vote that takes place in the Republican precinct caucuses is the election of local delegates from each precinct to move on and represent the county convention That's hands on as close to your neighbor as it gets in engaging in the political process. Lots of speeches go on for all candidates before the slips of paper are handed around the room, but how many those people who gave a speech are stepping up to be delegates to agree to stay involved with the party and going into the next level meeting at the county convention question mark? Not enough! This is where I think Sanders is gonna have a problem because the millennials who were all-in for him

1:20:34 How much work do they really want to do? They're not like workaholics necessarily. They'd like to get involved, they'd do a little bit and then the next thing you know, they are done smoking dope! They're smoking dope. You can read it from here because I can't get this thing to scroll correctly. From there, depending on that county's propensity for nepotism and sabotage a guy or gal who stuck it out in the February snow and ice may or may not even get to run for seat beyond county especially if the chair of that county handpicks the slate that goes to district including people who did not show up at precinct Members of the local media group Super Liberty in Scott County, Iowa documented much of this over the last two general election cycles and I contributed to that documentation. To the documentation of this corruption, I sat front row center at a state convention at state conventions and have been in the running as a delegate to go to national. In 2012 Ron Paul

1:21:24 They had loads of delegates from Iowa and other states that made it all the way through the corrupt precinct, county district and state delegation process. And when they emerged at the national convention, Boehner bulldozed them! It's a rigged system." Now he goes on... I think the most important thing to know is that Todd has a podcast that we also run on The NOAA Agenda Stream called Agenda 31. And I think sometimes it airs right after our show so you should definitely check that out agenda31.org Okay, next is James Schmidt. I want to give him a little karma for that and for his donation Thank you very much Todd. You've got karma highly appreciated good report good report We're screwed is what the outcome is the result of the report? Well it's not gonna tip this balance of anything and I think It'll be interesting if Trump really wins big I'm crediting the campaign guy

No Agenda Jingle History and Newt Gingrich Anecdote

A listener's request for the "very first No Agenda jingle" leads to a discussion about the show's early theme songs. Brian Hinman recalls an old TechTV interview where Newt Gingrich reportedly spent the entire segment looking at waitresses rather than the interviewer. The hosts also acknowledge several first-time donors from Texas and Illinois who responded to the recent funding plea.

German Migrant Rape Fabrication and Racial Hate Accusations

A 13-year-old Russian-German girl in Berlin admitted to fabricating a story about being kidnapped and raped by Arab migrants, an allegation that had sparked an international dispute between Russia and Germany. Meanwhile, a long-time listener in Belgium accused the hosts of "racial hate" regarding their coverage of Muslims and European migration. Adam Curry defends his perspective as "Dutch skepticism" rather than bigotry.

germany· berlin· russia· sergei lavrov· migrants· belgium· racial hate· skepticism

1:58:19 Alright, well you only talked about the Europe situation. I got that 13 year old kid not raped Let me see it's a great story Not raped okay raped not raped Prosecutors in Germany say that at thirteen-year-old Russian German citizen who accused migrants of raping her fabricated Her story after spending the night at her boyfriend's place The girl disappeared from her home in Berlin in mid-January. Afterwards, she claimed that Arab migrants abducted and raped her Her accusations ignited an international dispute between Russia and Germany Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov accused Germany of a cover up while the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that Moscow was using the case as political propaganda

1:59:06 Can you imagine this idiot 13 year old, she sneaks out of the house and goes to spend the night with her boyfriend. And then they ask her for what happened? I got raped by migrants! She makes up this stupid story and it creates an international incident Well i do have a couple of migrant stories from uh from the EU's The first one is more arrivals or non-arrivals in Greece More than 35 people including several Several children have drowned and 75 have been rescued after a boat carrying migrants and refugees to Greece sank off Turkey's western coast on Saturday. Rescue efforts were continuing in the afternoon, one man was detained by police on suspicion of human trafficking and organizing the voyage. They rescued 31 people who'd been drifting on rafts near Kos

1:59:50 And another 15 all Syrians who'd been stranded on a rock off Samos more than a million migrants and refugees arrived in Europe last year and a further 3,600 died or went missing according to the UN Yeah It's things things are very very disturbing and now I should maybe just get that one note will just kind of odd someone long-time supporter of the show who said, the way you talk about Muslims and particularly the Dutch and Belgians is so filled with racial hate I cannot support you anymore. And I found that disturbing... Am i filled with racial hate? I think you reflect pretty much to dutch skeptics Okay fair enough Fair enough I don't know if there's a racial hate

2:00:45 I don't know. I don't think it's racial hate at all." I think you reflect a certain perspective that can be misinterpreted, when in fact you're just delivering a certain thought process which i think is valuable especially to the American listeners to understand it. Although really when...I haven't discussed this. It was jarring. I even discussed it with Tina And I think what really sets this guy off is the, because he's in Belgium. Yeah. And what set him off is my endorsement of Donald Trump. This is a big deal. Okay now that you mentioned that, I want to play a clip. I was going to maybe save it for the next show but I can play

CHAPTER 30 / 51 Discussion

European Media Bias Against Donald Trump

Analysis of "France 24" coverage reveals a deep-seated European bias against Donald Trump, with commentators labeling him a "clown" and a "racist." The discussion highlights how Trump's comments about Brussels being a "hellhole" were mistranslated as "rathole" in Belgian media. The hosts contrast Trump's non-interventionist stance on Syria with Hillary Clinton's "ghoulish" celebration of Muammar Gaddafi's death.

france 24· donald trump· putin· syria· gaddafi· hillary clinton· hellhole· brussels

2:01:27 I was doing my thing and I was listening to French 24. They have these debates and these discussions, and the Europeans in general are so...they're worse, for one thing, they're more jingoistic, they are more bigoted." Well, and I'll interrupt for just a second from the Dutch perspective having grown up there this is what already...Dutch people do not understand Americans particularly have a nice day. Any Dutch person who's been to America for the first time, usually they do the van traveling, they love the romantic idea of Route 66

2:02:06 But whenever I've talked to Dutch people who have come back from their first trip to America, everyone says have a nice day. Have a nice day! What is that? It's so shallow it's so shallow. No no this is who we are when we say have a nice day that's all we mean. Have a nice day man just have a nice day. What could be more shallow than the classic European back and forth greeting the French are examples of this with three kisses Or you go in Germany, vegan is good and that's about as shallow as you can get. Yeah but this Trump thing it's like I eat babies for breakfast and if you really listen to what I said there's a show And your not going to be voting for Trump? Of course! You know who I vote for. Vermin Supreme it's obvious

2:03:03 Alright, this what is this right 24th? You have a group of people there's a there's a British bread a bunch of French some guys in America lives in France and And they express with glee, what a clown! The whole thing is jerk. All of Europe... I think that what you're gonna listen to here so it's not a short clip but what you're going to listen especially Americans You should listen to this with it in mind that this is what all of Europe is kind of thinking and that's what the Belgian guy he has been in his group the guy who doesn't like you anymore because of Trump, only because of Trump. And I think your analysis is correct. I'm interested to know, I mean, is it that popular? Is it a if you change Muslim by any other religion people would be screaming. It's not some of these statements are just not acceptable yesterday was about Brussels. So even Belgium said Brussels was a hellhole

2:04:01 Yeah, which the Belgian papers translated as a rat hole. Which made it even worse! I mean he's just an equal opportunity insulter. He goes around spreading hatred and insults wherever he goes. The Nigerian... People even make up insults. Nigeria, he's probably the most hated man in Nigeria because a Nigerian paper made up a story about him making all these racist remarks now everybody in Nigeria believes it He is a divisive figure as well In the US Republicans have big problem more and more popular and at the same time more and more unpopular if you look at that the latest polling figures there you have it The blue line there is his favorable rating

2:04:47 And so he's unelectable, isn't he? That's why some people joke that as a former member of the Democratic Party. Maybe it's actually there to completely torpedo the Republicans and make what are their five new cycles behind this is so old. This ball maybe Democrats like yesterday when you're playing havoc with the Republican Party I mean they really don't know what to do because he isn't really ideological we keep using sort of buzzwords like, oh he's a conservative right-winger, Tea Party support all that. But he isn't really an ideological candidate at all. He is Donald Trump is his ideology. Ego is his ideology. He borrows a bit from the left and a bit from the right. Whatever feels right to him. And he says what he wants. I think we should just review this email briefly that was sent to me... Well before we do that I want to go over what we just heard because there are couple things in there which should be noted

2:05:45 One is the mistranslation of hellhole to rat hole yeah, which is just and then no one's calling out the newspaper for doing this It's a new one then that then the note that did Nigerian press had made up a bunch of racial stuff And we've noted before that he's been called a racist even though. He never seen a phobe Yeah And and they did none of them say well, this is terrible. It looks like it's a hit job Why would they do that? And now all of Nigeria hates him and they just think this is hilarious Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho and their kind of laughing meanwhile doing the same thing yeah Adam has stated he supports Donald Trump and I understand that from the perspective of Trump kicking against the establishment, but I do not understand this with regards to Trump's gross simplification of reality and the world and his focus on protectionism threats and conflict instead of openness reaching out in diplomacy. What video do you guys get to see over there? If anything

2:06:44 Trump has only said he wants to sit down with Putin, wants to reach out doesn't want a fight not threats and conflict I'm just not seeing it. He wants the Russians to take over the mess in Syria? Yeah far as he's concerned maybe specifically said let them do it why are we wasting our money how is that advocating conflict yeah In fact, I've never heard him advocate any such conflict. No. He always...I think early on in the...he said we should bomb ISIS, bom-a-bom-a-bom-a. Fine everyone says that. That's it! Yeah and Hillary Clinton is so much nicer when it comes to killing people honestly. Lady MacDeath

2:07:25 But just definitely the Europeans are being fed a very negative... In case you guys forgot. And they also don't have a sense of humor over there, it seems to me. In case you forgot since you all be behind Hillary. Unconfirmed. Yes we came! We saw! He died! We killed Gaddafi! I love myself. Oh yes, oh yes fabulous. Yes perfect. You really... That is that was that is if they if you ran against Hillary and just played that clip over and over again you'd have to wonder what kind of a ghoul is Hillary? Is she yeah? Ghoul. That's a very good one ghoul

CHAPTER 31 / 51 Discussion

German Political Unrest and AFD Shooting Comments

Violence against refugee centers in Germany is escalating, including a hand grenade attack in Willingen-Schwenningen. Frauke Petry, leader of the right-wing "Alternative for Germany" (AFD) party, caused a scandal by suggesting border guards should have the right to shoot illegal migrants if necessary. Chancellor Angela Merkel's popularity continues to slide as the AFD gains double-digit support in national polls.

germany· angela merkel· afd· frauke petry· refugees· hand grenade· willingen-schwenningen

2:08:04 She's a ghoul. Okay, onward of course we still have real issues with the migrants in now we're going to Deutschland here is what is happening people are pissed off Germany's justice minister has pledged to take steps to crack down on attacks against migrants it comes after unidentified attackers threw a hand grenade at a refugee center in the southwest town of Willingen-Schwenningen The device had been primed with explosives, but it's not clear whether a detonator was attached. The degree of violence against refugee homes is frightening he says if now hand grenades are being thrown into buildings in the middle of Germany This has to be investigated. The perpetrators must be severely punished we do not want to see dead people as a result such acts No that would be day wrecker I guess... Dead people

2:08:59 Meanwhile, Angela Merkel also under fire from other political parties. We have the AFD which what is that alternative? What is AFD? The right wing I know for sure Here's what they're thinking about doing. In Germany, right-wing opposition party leader Frauke Petry has stoked a social media storm with provocative comments about refugees in an interview published in a German newspaper on Saturday Petry who is one of the party leaders of Alternative for Germany or AFD says police should have the right to shoot at illegal migrants She told the paper quote border guards... Now we're talking now we are getting some news bites

2:09:38 D says police should have the right to shoot at illegal migrants. She told the paper, quote border guards must prevent illegal border crossings and even use firearms if necessary. Meanwhile German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been appearing to try to appease critics of her open door policy on refugees. I hope that during the winter time, she says when refugee numbers are low we will make visible progress. The numbers need to be reduced further and they mustn't increase again in spring." Merkel has also repeated calls for a Europe-wide solution to address the crisis She so far resisted pressure from her critics to cap the number of refugees allowed to enter Germany But the popularity of Merkel's conservative bloc has been slipping

2:10:23 The Chancellor's loss, however has been the AFDs gain with its support across Germany now in double digits. Oh! There you go things are heating up politically for Miss Angela Sweden... It is not going to end well No, well Sweden is already there ahead of everybody and it looks like they have the right idea Sweden is preparing to send back nearly half of all the asylum seekers that entered the country last year And is ready to charter planes to take rejected applicants back home. Now, now mind you this is an official procedure what's going on here. Chartered planes? Oh yeah they're gonna 80 thousand John. They're gonna fly them out? Eighty thousand of them listen! And it's ready to charter planes to take rejected applicants back home

Sweden Deportation Plans and Migrant Center Violence

Sweden is preparing to deport up to 80,000 asylum seekers whose applications were rejected, utilizing chartered planes for the operation. The policy shift follows the murder of a 22-year-old female caretaker at a teenage asylum center. The hosts reference the TV show "Lillehammer" as a depiction of the cultural integration challenges facing Nordic countries.

2:11:07 Up to 80,000 people could be involved in an operation the Interior Minister is calling a very big challenge. No kidding? We're not planning to deport anyone but we're planning so that those people who doesn't get their asylum approved should return to the country of origin So the headline is a little... The truth is a little nuanced versus the headline because there could be eighty thousand who do not qualify uh... for asylum and that is who they will be sending back and i believe that they will be sending them out currently forty five percent of asylum applications are rejected in twenty fifteen sweden took him one hundred sixty three thousand people do the maths and it's clear many refugees will be leaving sweden i think this is not true

2:11:50 Because this is writing 80,000 people go back to their country. This is an immigrant obviously? Which people which country I don't know We've left our country to come to Europe a place of human rights women's rights children's rights This decision from the Swedish government does not help us. No, of course it doesn't help you! Do you want help? On Monday a 22 year old female caretaker was stabbed to death by 15 year old in an asylum seekers teenage center. This and similar incidents have led some Swedes to harden their hearts... ...and Stockholm to end its previous open doors policy

2:12:26 It's introduced border controls and much stricter document and identity checks. I can't wait to see how the American press deals with the oh-so fabulous Sweden sending everybody back! Oh no, how can that be? I thought we idolized them they're so great them in the Danes and Norwegians... And i'm very happy that we talked about Lillehammer, the television show Steve Van Sant's gangster show And then hopefully people have now watched the first couple of episodes of season one where you see the whole subplot of these migration centers, and this plays out in Norway. Where the immigrants are taught culture and value and how to integrate... This bit from Bill Maher where Thom Hartmann was on tickled me

CHAPTER 33 / 51 Discussion

Bill Maher and Thom Hartmann on European Migration

Liberal commentator Thom Hartmann appeared on Bill Maher's program to discuss Sweden's decision to deport 80,000 refugees. Hartmann argued that immigrants should be required to learn the local language and culture, a stance typically associated with the political right. Maher, known for his criticism of Islam, expressed support for European countries "hardening their hearts" against the current migrant influx.

bill maher· thom hartmann· sweden· liberal· migration· islam· culture

2:13:23 how he has swung to the other side, Mr. Lefty. Sweden, one of the most liberal places in the world announced this week they're sending 80 thousand refugees back. Let's just correct Bill Maher that is not true? But your overall point is made. They have a little buyer's remorse. One way to put it, go ahead. They're also doing something in Sweden and I believe in Norway as well that is actually quite useful and that is when new people come in number one they are taught the language number two they are taught the culture And you know back all of these years I've been debating right wingers who have been like immigrants have to learn English first!

2:14:01 You should see him when he does that little imitation. I saw it, i saw this. He didn't really do well on this show. I'm sorry? He didn't do well on the show. Very poor. He presented himself very poorly. Immigrants have to learn English first and you know it actually makes a certain amount of sense. Do you want to be able to function in a society? You want to be able to buy bread at the store? It seems like this is the first step Any in any country including in the United States and we're starting to do this now in our public schools But we need to do it more extensively is to bring is when people come in from another culture to say, you know Your culture's fine. But here's our culture Wow what's next pro-life Tom Tom Thumb Hartman? This is this is exactly the kind of guy against all that. Do you have more of this clip no Okay because when he said your culture is fine

2:14:54 Mark came back at him. He says but it's not fine Excuse me I did I cut that off? I didn't think that was you thought that was a good line by Mark Well, I thought it was kind of epitomizing the point you're trying to make which is that Mars kind of...I mean he's always been anti-Muslim. He's anti religion but he's really anti Muslim and it just pounds home the point your making which is that Mars kind of in some screwy position right now and he is liking these guys getting kicked out of Europe. He sees it as a problematic situation

Charles Barkley on Super Bowl Racial Narratives

NBA legend Charles Barkley criticized ESPN and sports media for framing the upcoming Super Bowl between Cam Newton and Peyton Manning as a "black versus white" or "good versus evil" narrative. Barkley argued that such "fools" on talk radio use race to generate ratings rather than having honest conversations. He emphasized that both quarterbacks are great players and the focus should remain on their athletic achievements.

charles barkley· espn· super bowl· cam newton· peyton manning· race· sports media

2:15:32 He also doesn't think the culture is fine. He doesn't like that culture now so culture stinks the Racial divide within the United States continues to be abused for entertainment purposes Thank you very much Hollywood, but you are doing it in this case it has now spilled over from the Oscars so white and luckily we have some now of course I'm the guy who doesn't know who Darryl May is so you know, but I know Barkley. I recognize him Barclay. Charles Barkley. Yeah and he was on one of these radio sports talk shows which i never listened to of course

2:16:13 But he said something that was equally as concerning as Oscar's so white. He is a racial component, to be honest with you. He's talking about the Super Bowl and I believe we're going to have in this Super Bowl correctly if i'm wrong the way it looks we may have black quarterback versus white quarterback am I correct? Well, it even goes further than that. We may have won the team with the black quarterback in an all-black uniform against the team with a white quarterback in an all-white uniform This is not by mistake It's a racial component to be honest with you Dan I hate that because we as black people got way more important crap to worry about and stuff like that preached she preached

2:16:53 Barkley, but you said. And you know and ESPN has already started their crap about black versus white good versus evil and I know a lot of those fools over there got ready to go talk shows but you can still see their frame of this narrative uh black against white good against evil they really annoy us the hell out of me we really just can't appreciate again greatness of uh payton And clearly Cam is on the track to become one of the greatest players ever. But I just hate, you can already see him framing a narrative black versus white good versus evil and that's the problem when you have two weeks in between games but they're both great players they're both good guys but you know a lot of these fools on Espen got radio shows and the best way to make talk radio good is make it racial so bring every fool in the world when you bring up race

CHAPTER 35 / 51 Discussion

SAG Awards Diversity and Idris Elba Flub

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are analyzed for their heavy emphasis on diversity following the "Oscars So White" controversy. British actor Idris Elba, known for "The Wire," won two awards but "flubbed" a line by welcoming the audience to "Diverse TV" instead of "Diversity TV." The hosts mock the "snooty" nature of the awards show and the perceived over-correction by Hollywood regarding racial representation.

sag awards· idris elba· diversity· the wire· tnt· tbs· british humor

2:17:47 Because race is a very serious subject, but you got so many fools out there. They can't have an honest fair conversation on race." It's a long story in sports guys know what I'm talking about. I went down kind of a bit of a rabbit hole Which I'd well in Tom by the race thing I thought you're gonna bring up this and throw this in it But I want you to keep on this topic, which is the SAG Awards were off What did I miss them? Yes Okay, I missed an award show

2:18:28 Yeah, you missed the SAG awards. Oh jeez! SAG-AFTRA as it is now What channel was that on? It wasn't on a network, it was on one of the cables TNT or something Like Reels or something I don't know, it's one of the off... oh, I think it was TNT Or TBS, one of the two And they was on and they had this guy, the guy who played... Did they have any celebrities? They had good celebrities there. I mean did they have any... No it was packed! Yes all the celebrities were there. Can't believe this huh?! So it was no.. It was good viewing in that regard and they're all blowing each other's... Blow yeah. Just blowing each other. Blowing each other.

2:19:03 So the guy who so they're there, okay? I got this clip. So they're coming out one day every opportunity to give the black an award yeah Oh sag was going to be better than everybody now. I guess sag is gonna be better than everybody so they have this There's one British actor who won the award for me one two eight He won two of these SAG, called the Actor Award. He won two of these awards and he's coming up...he is British! He is a British black guy who played one of the characters in The Wire and you wouldn't know if he was British until he comes out as an American. Oh now I understand. If they're all blowing each other off course, why would you want to blow the black guy? So he's now coming up to give awards after winning two and he's following a black woman who just won an award. And he makes this comment, I think he blew the line in it. He should have said one thing but then he said another. It is such a fabulous young cast. Diversity at SAG? That's the clip? Yes! Okay let me roll it back for a second... It has been such a fabulous young cast. It has been the joy pleasure of my life

2:20:07 Thank you so much. Hold on a second, that called for something else hold on a second I want to be the director on this i can do this. Much. Alright roll track and cue voiceover! Ladies and gentlemen Abraham Addaf and Idris Elba And camera please zoom in and go crackdown crackdown CRACKDOWN! Crackdown lesson! Ladies and gentlemen welcome to diverse TV It actually works against him in this case. Well, I think he was supposed to say... He's British and this is... Ah so it was just British humor? He was making a joke? Yeah well he was making the joke but i think the joke that was written for him was and I'm sure it was written because they were making a point out of giving every black person who could an award uh I think the joke was diversity TV. You said diversity TV

2:21:08 He flubbed the line. He said diverse. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Diverse TV. Diverse TV? Oops! Jays! It's not like diversity is a specifically means something specifically diverse. Diverse is wrong he flubbed it. He flubbed the line I just rolled my eyes and said I gotta put this clip on the show. He flubbed the line John He's an actor, he flubbed a line. Ladies and gentlemen welcome to diverse TV. But yet... It was the code word but that wasn't the code word you got the wrong word People but yet it worked kind of. They laughed. They still applauded him politely.

2:21:54 So he won for best actor in something I think at Best TV drama or movie from a fatigue or something He's I just really like this guy when he's an actor as a personality. I don't think much of him He's just another snooty Brit, but he's really good. He played that name again What's his name again? It's like Idra it's got a screwy named Idra Elba or something like that Elba Okay, I think here is it. I went down a rabbit hole and I think I also came up with an opportunity which I think we should discuss Business yeah business the business you better you better get the your curry Dvorak Yeah, that's curry devoid of this is the curry Dvorak software development group okay before let's start first

CHAPTER 39 / 51 Discussion

Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton's Governing Experience

In an interview with Politico, President Barack Obama claimed that Hillary Clinton is more experienced than any non-Vice President who has ever sought the office. The hosts challenge this assertion, questioning what Clinton has actually "governed," noting that being a Senator or Secretary of State are legislative and administrative roles rather than executive governing positions.

barack obama· hillary clinton· politico· secretary of state· senator· governing· vice president

2:34:36 Does it warrant a jingle? Yeah. Okay, hold on... Well I don't know where are we at Skye? It doesn't really need a jingle. It does! What is this? These are just ask Adams. I need the jingle here we go Ask Adams There we go. Ask Adam, good to go. Yeah I got a double there.

It's just Obama talking about Hillary. Seemed to tilt toward Hillary Clinton in an interview with Politico She can govern

2:35:20 And she can start here day one. More experienced than any non-vice president has ever been who aspires to this office." Hold on a second, do you want to ask the question first or did I get to respond? I'm going to ask the question first yes his first comment is she can govern so i'm gonna ask you what has she ever governed The state of New York? No. She was a senator, that's not a governing role. Secretary of State is... Secretary of State is not a governing role. Nothing! No it's an administrative job. So what does she govern that she can govern? I have no answer for you. I'm stuck

2:36:09 Okay, I have the answer. Can I listen to that clip one more time? May I listen to the clip one more time please Sure, can I have a clue one more time seem to tilt toward Hillary Clinton in an interview with Politico she can govern and She can start here day 1 More experience than any non vice president has ever been who aspires to this office What I don't understand the non vice president Well, it's because... Vice presidents know how to govern by default? I guess. I don't know how that works as a cool crap dude. So you want to know the answer? What she governed? Yes! Has she governed? What has she governed? I'd love to know the answer what has she governed? Nothing! Okay okay now here we go on to the second one oh there's more all right

CHAPTER 40 / 51 Discussion

Glenn Beck Gold Line Pitch and "Douche Knuckle" Critique

Glenn Beck is criticized for using a "shameless" fear-based monologue about physical and financial insecurity to transition into a commercial for Gold Line. Beck suggested that in "dangerous times" where nothing can be trusted, listeners should turn to "biblical" assets like gold and silver. The hosts label Beck a "douche knuckle" for exploiting his audience's anxieties for profit.

glenn beck· gold line· ted cruz· donald trump· financial insecurity· biblical times· advertising

2:37:04 Alright, now this is Glenn Beck. This is a two-parter I'm gonna play the first part of the Glenn Beck clips and the first where you can see the difference I hope Do you need to set up or we go straight into it? Yeah, I'm gonna give you a setup because this is Glenn Beck Getting upset and he's upset. He gets into these moods, and you know right now He's in the big thing to support Ted Cruz And he's worried sick about Donald Trump hates Trump yeah So he's into this...he's gonna get himself worked up so play part one Oh hold on a second I gotta play that after the Ask Adam jingle if you want it then this will be cool here we go That was good

2:37:48 I'm gonna end the show with a personal note on something that happened to me today. Is he going to cry? Just play it! It really made my blood run cold, a bit... We're entering really serious and dangerous times in different ways than i expected and Okay where is he going with this? I think i know the answer but, I don't want to kill your gag. I know the answer! I'll write it down. Okay play it out. Wait let me just read alright? Let me just roll back a little bit because its funny and well worth it. Do I actually have the uh... You have an ISO of it? I have it rolled back on this part too. Oh okay here we go. Hmmmm I wonder where he's going We're entering really serious and dangerous times in different ways than I expected

2:38:53 And right now people feel some economic security. When they start to feel physical insecurity, all bets are off when financial insecurity becomes really truly real who doesn't know what's coming next for more people than it already is? All bets are off I would suggest when there is a time that you can't trust anything, you go back to biblical times. There's one thing you can trust... Gold! Yeah, there it is! The numbers are at the bottom of the screen. Call Gold Line and find out if buying gold or silver is right for you but do it now. Gold, I tell ya! Ladies and gentlemen, buy gold! Buy gold! What an incredible douche knuckle

Wool Dryer Balls and Soap Nut Testing

A $25 donor requests a moment of silence for the late Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci and complains about static cling from dryer balls. The hosts discuss the benefits of sheep's wool dryer balls and plan to test "soap nuts" (natural soap berries) as a laundry alternative. Adam Curry mentions he will test the soap nuts on his partner Tina's clothes to see if they are effective and non-allergenic.

I'm close to knighthood hopefully by giving a little bit even without getting credit sorry that's my ego talking...I will still feel good! The check has a memo about dryer balls I bought them, but now my laundry is staticky as hell. I may try a hybrid of natural dryer sheet with them and perhaps you can have a moment of silence for Buddy Cianci the former Providence Rhode Island mayor and convicted felon who died this week He was basically Richard Daly but went to jail All right in the morning to you and I had Sent him a note back Oh nice

2:58:06 The suggesting I don't know if he's using the wool dryer balls because i think they have a little drier the sheep wools the sheeps wool Yes, the ones that are made from sheep's wool. I believe will kill this static cling I don't have static oh my no I've been using the balls haven't gotten any static cling recently I don't have any slight static clean either But then there was a lot of it has to do with humidity by the way There was a little Twitter thing that you and I both responded to, and I ordered them. You said they look bogus. Someone said hey there's natural oil soap nuts, soap berries... Oh yeah! Well listen to this how could how could i pass up this opportunity? An eight pound bag no wait a minute good for 240 washes only $18 that's a deal if it works

2:58:58 I question whether it works. Well, well i'm gonna find out! I mean, I think they foam up... that wouldn't surprise me a lot of things in the world foam up You know how clean we know how? We're going to test it?! I'm gonna wash some of Tina's clothes that she left here then we'll know if she goes hmm my clothes are so soft So you're gonna test it on her even though she may be allergic She's not allergic to nothing which will put you out of luck for about a month She's not allergic to anything No sir Thank you all once again. This is so highly appreciated We have a couple of things will play at the end of the show in our end montage But do want to hand out some jobs karma everybody can use it even if you have one Jobs, jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs

2:59:45 And one quick PR mention before we move into the birthdays. If you have Apple TV, Mike Mills at mikemillsmlzz has created an app no agenda app for the Apple TV which not a lot of people have this device yet But it is very cool because because you can when you go to the channel the app I guess channel app whatever if you listen to live stream, and you can Follow along with a chat so that kind of makes sense when your if you're watching it If your list watching I guess live it also of course has back episodes and everything so fun stuff. That's not a bad idea It's a very good video. It's just the chat the chat yeah, it makes total sense right Yeah

3:00:31 And a reminder, we'll have another show on Thursday. A nice list for today. Robert Woods says happy birthday to his son Moses who was born October 4th, brand new human resource. Christopher Grace is happy birthday to his son Ryan one month old yesterday. Brian Hinman happy birthday to his wife Lori she's celebrating today as is Matthew Windendwindedals BFF Bill also celebrating on January 31st Happy Birthday from the best podcast in the universe!

3:01:08 And then we have two title changes.

CHAPTER 46 / 51 Discussion

EFF, Mozilla, and Google Financial Ties

The financial relationship between the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the Mozilla Foundation, and Google is scrutinized. Google reportedly pays Mozilla $100 million annually to be the default search engine and is a major donor to the EFF. The "HTTPS Everywhere" extension, a collaboration between the EFF and the Tor Project, is introduced as a tool that forces encrypted connections on websites.

eff· mozilla foundation· google· tor project· https everywhere· encryption· mtv.com

3:02:46 Well, that would be common. Yes, common for this show. Well first we need to discuss the relationship between the Electronic Frontier Foundation heralded by many lauded by most as the bastions of freedom. I don't like them, I've had my run-ins with John Perry Barlow no one wanted to support me at the MTV dot com domain name dispute even though they're supposed to help with legal stuff like that but yeah it was commercial I was MTV so they turned their nose up you should recuse yourself from this debate Yeah that's not gonna happen if i just did a disclaimer No! I'm the one bringing it up there is no debate unless I bring it up

3:03:29 The relationship between EFF, the Mozilla Foundation and Google needs to be discussed up front. Google donates a lot of money to Electronic Frontier Foundation that in fact I believe they're one of their largest donors. Google also pays the Mozilla foundation...I want to say it's 100 million dollars a year but some outrageous amount... That was 44. Okay who is counting? Some outrageous number to have google be the default search engine in the browser. So now we have the HTTPS Everywhere Have you been following this? A little bit, but I'm sure i haven't been following it with any alacrity compared to what you're about to present Okay. So the HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox Chrome and Opera extension This is how it starts that encrypts your communications with many major websites making your browsing more secure

3:04:28 Encrypt the web. Install HTTPS Everywhere today! And they play this off, and if you look at the whole page from the EFF about what a great idea it is. First of all the first line pisses me off. HTTPS Everywhere is produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and The Electronic Frontier Foundation We know who funds The Tor Project and we know that The Tor Project is not necessarily a complete end-to-end secure solution They continue by saying many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by using quote clever technology

3:05:19 to review requests to these sites, to HTTPS. Information about how to access the project's Git repository and get involved in development is here." So first of all... The first thing I wanted to know was this so they're proxying what they are pertaining to do is turn unencrypted, insecure connections which by the way if you go to the noagenda pages there's no HTTPS it just HTTP And the reason for that is there's no reason to, um... The overhead I'll say of having a certificate. You know? I agree There is expense to it and then for secure transactions What's the point? What's the point? I'm getting to the point

CHAPTER 47 / 51 Discussion

HTTPS Everywhere and the Ad-Blocking Circumvention Theory

A theory is presented that the push for "HTTPS Everywhere" is a psychological and technical trick to circumvent ad blockers and prevent ISPs from inserting their own advertisements. By forcing encryption, Google and its partners can maintain control over tracking and advertising data. The hosts argue that 90% of websites do not require encryption and that the "big red X" warning for HTTP sites is an anti-competitive move to marginalize non-compliant publishers.

https everywhere· ad blocking· isps· root certificates· google· safari· encryption

3:06:04 No, I'm saying what's the point of doing HTTPS? Oh well there is no point other than when you are running HTTPS guess what doesn't work. Ad blockers. I'm all ears ad blockers, ad blockers. Oh that's interesting so here is what they're even saying where did you get this? This is a great story for me You should be all over this and you should be all over this here So let me just give you a few then so they start to let up a little bit in this sadly many sites still include A lot of content from third party domains that is not available over HTTPS

3:06:46 As always, if the browser's lock icon is broken or carries an exclamation mark you may remain vulnerable to some adversaries that use active attacks or traffic analysis. Adversaries who use active attacks OR traffic analysis! You mean Google's competitors? Yeah... That's what they mean However the effort would be required to eavesdrop on your browsing should still be usefully increased So there even giving away that this is pretty much being done to circumvent the ad blockers, but it gets worse if In the git code at github they have the icons that will be displayed if you go to a website That does not have HTTPS by default and it will be a big red X

3:07:38 So let me get this straight. Now hold on I will say that i'm getting pushback from the chat room that it does not stop ad blocking, I disagree! This is a psychological trick The psychology of it is ultimately...I'm going to predict for you right now that the HTTPS everywhere, everyone will be told this is what you have to do and really when it's HTTPS who is going to be handing out the root certificates? What'll be easy. It can be real easy to get your certificate from the same guys who are pushing this and it will be free fine But I'm telling you, this is about advertising and tracking. They don't want other people tracking they wanna have some kind of control over the advertising and they certainly don't want ISPs down at the other end inserting ads over theirs This is a complete...and I think almost anti-competitive move Well it does beg the question And by the way chat room instead of just saying I am wrong please tell me why I am wrong

3:08:42 And keep going, John. It does make the question I'll ask the chat room this question Why do you need it on 90% of the sites out there? It is it's overhead that's unnecessary. I don't care when I'm looking at Amazon and Going through them to all the books there because I'm looking for a book that it's encrypted Oh God, everybody see people can figure out that you're looking for books Or why, when somebody goes to the noagendashow.com site? Why does it need to be encrypted? The show is put into the public domain! You can put in on your own website what needs... What's so secret about it?! What does it need to be encrypted for? Encryption is now being marginalized by making everything supposedly and so important that it'd be encrypted when it doesn't need to be encrypted

3:09:29 And everyone has all these... I don't need to encrypt half this crap. Everybody has all these technical answers. I don't need to encrypt the Vorac website! Exactly, thank you. Everybody has all these technical answers. Well the ads are inserted after they're... No listen, you're right John why? Why because they love you and want to protect you from the bad trackers? Oh please get over yourself grow up people Google our A-holes alphabet whatever they are This is not okay and EFF is complicit And everyone's gonna have it installed and then these extensions, well that's not an HTTPS ad. No we're not going to proxy that you watch! You watch...and notice that Safari is not in this little consortium they have not been pulled in or they are not participating

3:10:14 So I, you know...you can say whatever you want. This is about ad blocking and they're being very very sly about, oh we need to protect you. Well they wouldn't roll something out like this with immediate ad blocking because it would be so obvious No of course not! But your saying its just part of the scheme and i will watch It's going to start... We'll see if your right or wrong I think you're probably right. You have a pretty good sense about these things." We all know what happens when you go to a website that for some reason Google deems inappropriate, it's happened to Dvorak.org several times... Then you get a big scary burglar reaching through a little cartoon screen on your browser saying, Oh this is not secured. You should go back and go away or if you really want to take that risk click three more things you can get through now if you have an HTTP website versus HTTPS you will get an X in the it's going to be a big red X. This is yeah this is breakage. This sort of thing is not good

CHAPTER 48 / 51 Discussion

Zika Virus Hoax and Pesticide Cover-Up Theory

The Zika virus outbreak in Brazil, linked to microcephaly in infants, is characterized as a potential "hoax" or cover-up for environmental toxins. The hosts suggest that the birth defects may actually be caused by heavy pesticide or herbicide use in Brazil, where certain chemicals banned in 22 other countries are still utilized. They note that the Zika virus has been known since the 1940s without previously being linked to such severe abnormalities.

zika virus· brazil· microcephaly· pesticide· herbicide· hoaxes· nature

3:11:16 Now, I like that everybody knows so much about everything but mark my words. This is about advertising. The only good phone's the landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite! And as always on the No Agenda Show we are very open to feedback and criticism you just let us know will follow up on this guaranteed you're not going to hear about it from all the tech hornys they love it all so much Google saving them keeping them all safe safe from bad websites That's a good voice. Thank you By the way, Tina thinks people in Holland are angry because I do the Dutch accent thing. She thinks that's probably why. Did you get some feedback? Is the Dutch giving you crap? No! Most people like it but they're not Dutch. No Dutch people have written me saying they think it's hilarious It is funny Yes, I know The Dutch have a screwy sense of humor and if they say that its funny even though they might no be laughing They mean it

3:12:19 It's the most honest culture you'll ever run into. John, we are... I think we should get 10 more minutes out of this puppy for today. We're way long. We're long. We're so long! We're Long Dong Silverlong. Let's do one more bit-I got one more thing for sure. Alright. I can put it off or I could do it? We have to put some stuff off. We gotta talk about this someday. We gotta talk about it next time. Wait, wait, I have the lead in. Hold on. I have... here we go. I have the lead-in! The race is on to find a vaccine as the mosquito born Zika virus takes hold in the Americas, it's being linked to severe birth defects around 4 000 suspected cases of microcephaly have been reported here in Brazil. I think that's enough of a lead and everybody knows about this horrible zika virus that is making children being born with small heads

3:13:06 I believe this to be some sort of a hoax or lie that we can discover who's behind it. And it's...and I agree, we both exchanged a couple of documents and I believe there is a couple theories out there most of them are nutty but you know my favorite one Mimi brought up because she got off Facebook. Oh, genetically engineered rubella! And it's just done, it is being made for the government to kill people or something. It's one of these crazy Facebook things I believe it to be what it is and this will turn out to be the case and I think its a... No no! I know what it is. Its climate change You know specifically what it is? Climate change There are bunch of people that said that too which was funny Oh sure

3:13:51 It is some sort of pesticide or new pesticide or herbicide that is being used extensively in Brazil. And Brazil is fairly well known in that community, the poison community... From what I've learned... Yeah whatever bring it over we'll kill the forest and kill the bugs Some of these pesticides are banned in 22 countries the ones that are being used in Brazil. We have the... Yeah, they'll do anything and this is bullcrap because this virus has been around since the 40's? And I think first identified or more yeah. I heard that in 1930 it was identified but its really never... But it's always beautiful to use a virus because of nature you know You can't even say conspiracy theory or anything just oh it's nature well we're screwed who we can fight nature It's great

CHAPTER 50 / 51 Discussion

Zika as a Public Relations Smokescreen

The Zika narrative is compared to previous "crises" like the bee colony collapse and Ebola, which the hosts argue are often used as smokescreens for corporate malfeasance. They speculate that a specific chemical product in Brazil is responsible for the birth defects and that the virus story was created to protect the manufacturer's liability. Listeners in Brazil are encouraged to investigate which products have recently been pulled from the market.

zika virus· public relations· brazil· chemical companies· ebola· bee colony collapse· terrorism

3:20:21 The Zika virus thing is a fraud, it's a hoax. Yeah it's like Ebola It's like peak oil It's like the killer bees I'm sorry...it's the bee colony collapse What other crises have we witnessed? When you get old enough You hear enough of this bull crap Things like the bee colony collapse can be probably traced Probably to these problems They were inventing too many screwy sprays And they test them in Brazil This is a chemical, if you could find the public relations people pushing this story the hardest. You can find out who their clients are and you will find the company responsible They're gonna get this thing off the market because they know what we're going to do What if somebody figures out what we've got here? It's making these small headed babies We gotta pull this product

3:21:10 Send out some, create some bogus story. Let everybody think it's Zika which has been around forever. It's nothing new you wouldn't even know what you had. This is what is poorly known because this came up at the dinner Then I spewed a little bit of this on them, but I saw the huge question mark faces. They don't know me yet so like I backed off a bit but that's it you know this thing has been around since the 40s really? Really isn't it? But no, it's not like some crazy head shrinking virus people get afraid man they get bigot yeah It's terrorism, what it is. Terrorism. Is a form of terrorism. Of course no agenda... Whoever it I can guarantee that the company that makes the head shrinking product which is an outstanding product on its own has pulled this thing off the market subtly so if you can find out in Brazil we have Brazilian listeners what product has come and gone

3:22:08 That's probably it and then you can find the public relations people that created the smoke screen this story is a smoke screen Yes, yes get these guys out of business. Yes Get that product gone before anyone discovers in and suddenly This little product this problem was gonna go away with a head shrink I feel so sorry for those kids they look so weird they're gonna get rid of the The prime will go away and say, well it must have been a mutation or they have some bogus excuse. You can wait for it you can just wait for it you can just wait for it. You can see it coming down Broadway now but we don't recommend repellent We have-we recommend doing other things to protect yourself from the horrible Zika virus And wash your hands after touching any raw meat Less than 10 minutes to go! Alright I think...I think we should go This is one of the longest shows we've ever done

CHAPTER 51 / 51 Discussion

Outro and End-of-Show Mix

3:27:02 Who will do the most? Can you see that juice?! Get out of my vagina! AHHHHHH!!! The only anti-dargational moments where there's an ant that you do not torch and that's as in ants carrying one of the dead heads back. Oh no, it has to be... That's the guy with the leg up. Of course! Yeah, that's the guy, the guy from the side of a hill Do you think that hill is just one big ants' hill? No, its mostly bedrocks Bedrock hills, right here. Yes, on this side of a hill. It's a big giant rock But there's enough soil, these ants don't need a lot. There should be enough soil, enough soil, that's called siege mode. What other modes do your ants have? Well they have sneak attack, this is called siege mode. What other modes do your ants have? They can trick stuff for people who are special and let's go start to deal with these Argentinian Ants And this trick does indeed work So one of the things that the ants will

3:27:47 in the kitchen is that they'll send a scout 1, 2 or 3 or 4 scouts out. Every single time. For example, for people who are special and the West Coast has to do their research into ants and endistrictos districto's district I have a trick for people who are special and the West Coast has to do their research into ants and endistricto's district if they find something they go back and report back back and report back next thing there was a line of this guy with some long extension it says yeah but like with uh...it has a you can bend it a bendy some of them bends some of them don't I recommend the metal bendys cause then you can let it hang on by the cheapest land you see when you find all the ones that run around ya get tortured And you leave him there. Wouldn't it, wouldn't one of those crack pipe lighters be better? As a general rule I am just fine with drinking the booze. Hold on a second. And drinking the booze!
