Manterruptors

00:00 You wanna go for a ride in the fliver? Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's Sunday May 1st 2016 and time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 821 This is no agenda Battling bits bites and local LTE provisioning Broadcasting live from the capital of the Gitmo nation lowlands Amsterdam In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where I have no such troubles, and I'm constantly black. Black Bottom Buzzkill! In the morning... Oh man. Worst opening ever for my end. Sorry about that. What happened? Nah it's been a horrible day John. It's just been a horrible, horrible day Yeah Can you talk into the mic that would really help? I am right on the m- Okay If i was any closer to the mic I'd be behind it Okay well its always interesting how whenever we want to start the show things start to break down

00:58 So here I am in still on the SS Plop, here on the poop deck in the canals of Amsterdam. Poop Deck of the Plop! Yeah, on the poop deck of SS Plop exactly and it's been... It started off great today beautiful weather Of course the last day when we're leaving The day that I have to work But beautiful weather. And so I start prepping around noon, it would give me six hours before the show starts and about... Seems like way too much time but okay? Well typically i work Saturday night and then get up early Sunday morning and then work another four hours so it's about right about six hours did prep for the rest of you know earlier in the week

01:42 And about 12, 25 the internet goes out. But both networks on the boat... I'm sort of like okay well i can always do this T-Mobile thing again and I can't get uh because you have to buy a high speed bandwidth check this out 100 megabytes which is about 15 minutes of the show now maybe we could get away with 30 minutes of the show that would be that's 20 dollars For one gigabyte, but check this out. You can't buy... So I said well why don't you give me 10 of those? I got a show to do it and I need bandwidth now Now you have to wait until you use up the 100 megabits And then you'll get a text message and then you can order another hundred megabits so that you can start over again

02:32 The problem is that it never provisioned. It never got through and it worked on the... You didn't even get the first hundred megabits? No, no! So I've been on the phone with them and then you know, and the owner of the boat who's not even in the country and I'm trying to find people who have access to any network anywhere on the canal. Tina has got Sprint we're calling up Sprint they're like yeah you got high speed data but yeah you can't use hotspot because you need CDMA for that which by the way I don't understand why you need CDMA If you have high-speed data, what difference does the hotspot make for CDMA? That sounds like bullcrap. It sounds like bullshit to me. It sounds like bull crap! You're working and you're in Europe on a Sunday expecting things to work that there's nobody wants to work No! Unbelievable They were not interested at all Not interested in helping me And I didn't sleep a lot because last night

03:28 We had the big family gathering. It was Tiffany and her husband Guido, and her son, and then Willow... Guido or Guido? Well we like to say Guido just to fuck with him Then there's Tiffany from Italy of course with Alessandro, the actor comedian director Jack of all trades and their two kids. Can I get a bit part? Yeah easily! He has two shows now in Italy Two shows that are running one is like a sitcom that he's writing producing directing and starring in And some blooper show you know typical funny web videos

04:13 And Tina. So of course this was a trial by fire, this was Tina's introduction into the family. And? Oh that would have been fantastic of course! I knew that would be great and but then we got home and i was just in time to start listening to the you know...I guess it was just the White House Correspondents Dinner had just started so it was around midnight my time. So I stayed up to listen to a lot of this and get clips and so it's been rough. I don't want to complain too much Okay, but that's kind of sucked. I did learn a lot though John you want to talk about some things have learned or yes? This is what I was hoping to hear right off the top okay Well first of all I hung out with we went to see Lex and his Iranian wife Fariba You know Lex with the war holes and the lichten steins the big collection you bright day art guy Yeah The Art Guy my old boss

05:11 And his wife had just returned from a two-week trip to Tehran. She said, Adam I knew you were coming so I have stuff to tell you. Great! Alright now we're gonna learn something. How is everybody feeling? What do you guys think about the watermelon head carry? He says no one gives a shit about that No one cares in Tehran it's like... You have no idea She brought back magazines, just popular magazines about fashion and music. There are women in these magazines and on the covers no scarf, no headgear whatsoever." She says it's changing drastically right now. It said it's really incredible. That's the way it always used to be. Yeah but nobody was really suppressed for a while she said this we haven't seen this in a long time because has been decades since I've seen this decades

05:56 And, and I said is this all over Iran? She says no. This is really Tehran where you know most kids you know they're 20 years old and yeah she said we got iPhones and everything but the head you know now the lack of the head scars...and it appears that the you know the mullahs they don't care anymore They're way too busy with making money as was her which is probably what they've always been too busy doing But now they're not even suppressing to people that much I also learned that a billion-dollar trade has opened up since the lifting of some sanctions, and this is one of them. And I did not know that Iran is the largest... if not one of the largest producer of pistachio nuts." Yeah, pistachio nuts and saffron are two other big moneymakers. Yeah so now the pistachios apparently you know there was a shortage because of Iranian sanctions

06:56 Well, now we're going to be swamped with nuts. Yeah! And yes she had these huge bags of nuts that she had brought back her... it was pretty cool Do you know that pistachio nuts are naturally toxic to most mammals? No I didn't know that Really? It's a toxic... it's actually a toxic nut That somehow over the eons The human species has managed to adapt as uh To be able to eat in the first place otherwise they'd be dropping dead Huh No, I didn't know that. Well we had a few they were delicious! Oh they're delicious everybody loves the pistachio and in ice cream fantastic oh yeah oh man and these nuts when you know these are um i guess then i guess there are not roasted? They roasted? They must be roasted or not if you eat them the pistachio nuts Yeah but they still had the red on it was a different color than i was used to now of course it was taxi eric who took us

07:57 Taxi Eric, as you know he's the man of the street so he knows what is going on and he was pointing out. He says what has been happening here in The Netherlands is they have gone full tilt trying to pull the country out of... It's depressed here I mean There is no economy. The economy was Russia, Russian oil and gas products and the farm products can't go there so there's all kinds of issues and they're trying to kickstart the economy with huge infrastructure. John, they have bridges, they're building on one side putting on wheels rolling over for a new highway, they're building new highways next to highways that look pretty new to me

08:38 Just pouring the money in. They're building an underwater parking garage in Amsterdam under the canals! This is a lot of monies going into this. Huh, so a lot of construction going on? It is the only sector... This is what you're supposed to say. Right! The old-fashioned notion, sorry the old fashioned economic notion about saving yourself during a depression is to build Now and that's and that's what struck me as well as you know from we heard President Obama talking about this and from time to time We hear like a Feinstein or someone will say hey, we really need to put some more money in it

09:16 At some point we had the shovel ready jobs or whatever some money went somewhere But shouldn't we be continuing that I mean is that still a system that works? I don't know if the Dutch even believe it themselves, but the money's certainly going in yeah well. I mean this what we're doing around here Hmm right it drives into San Francisco. It's unbelievable hmm. It's like just construction projects everywhere Yeah I guess in a way, yeah. But is it municipality money? Is it city money or private money? It's like city money to me. Okay well that would work then. Everybody I've spoken to every single person when I say you know hey the terrorist attacks pretty close to home everyone says oh yeah we're just waiting for it to happen here and they are blase about it John

10:08 Ah, good. That's actually good! Yeah they're like, ah it's unavoidable we know it'll be our turn soon okay well whatever hmm quite remarkable We took a boat tour and I so we've been to the Rijksmuseum to see the night watch of course when in Amsterdam you have to see that And we said, well let's take a canal boat and across from the Rijksmuseum you have canal boats. I said to the guy which is the best tour? He says well really since there are not a lot of people here today why don't you get on the boat that has an open boat with only 12 seats in the captain but it'll probably just be you guys. There was one other couple so we went around and this meant John I could do this! This is...I might have to do it but this is a career for me

10:52 This is perfect. He's got an electric boat, he floating around just telling stories like it's really great you know how the Dutch people to Amsterdam we put this water we control it so great who's so smart. I was thinking... He took me past my old house and was talking about boats in the canal as of 2018 Only electric boats in the canals. No more diesel, nothing else no outboard motors only unless it's electric Yeah, that's pretty extreme It is and it

11:30 kind of coincides with the mission of the country. I think we talked about it before and it's not a mandate yet, but it is certainly being discussed... ...of making the entire country an e-vehicle country by 2020 which is four years away! And that's why—I know we've talked about this before—Amsterdam is filled with Teslas. Filled with them. Every street there are one or two Teslas where their own private charging station. So I looked into it got the full details now If you want your own parking spot in Amsterdam, there's a list that is about five years waiting period to get a parking spot near your house if you are resident of Amsterdam. But if you buy an electric vehicle and of course a lot of the people who live on these canals can easily afford Tesla The government, the council municipality puts in a charging station at no cost for you And as far as I know

12:27 Part of the cost of the electricity is even subsidized. And you wouldn't get a Tesla, but you can get it about these other e-cars. There's a Mercedes there's a new yeah yep but also the smart cars they're smart cars that are E vehicles and like the BMW like the I3 and this there's all kinds of in cars around one of those Yeah couple of them actually look at stupid well like Tesla is not that much better Well the S I think is an attractive car It's an attractive car, but it just- it's not really... you know you have cab drivers driving around in them. It's not really a handy car You know? Hello? Hello! Did I lose ya'? Yeah. Uh, no. Oh there you are. I gotcha'. I hear you again. Okay Well what I was saying was that the Tesla is a big car Hold on hold on hold on hold on let me just write down the time for that Say again the Tesla? It's a cycle of some sort This Tesla is a- Tesla S is a big car

13:37 for those roads. It is, it's a long car for those roads but as a cab it's not really super functional I don't think that's too big yeah well and even the new one the x is still too big maybe the three if they ever make them might be okay but I'd get into one of the other cars I mean a leaf would be a nice small car to have Yeah, the leaf. I have not seen any leaves now. I think there's a Peugeot electric guitar... People have electric guitar parking here! Peugeot and I think there is Renault. There are definitely some French electric cars running around Those aren't over here Let me see what else they have Oh oh we got paparazzi that was pretty funny Finally?

14:26 You know, these assholes could have called me and I would have given them the... You know someone's making at least 500 bucks off of it. Easy money John! Easy money. I can probably get you a number you can just call them Give me some numbers and i'll go in there because I got some shots Yeah, I bet you do And of course, I got the lowdown from Willow. Italy is she says it's a shit it's a hell hole 55% tax he says 40% unemployment everything to stand still it's crap and what was apparent with both my sisters you think the media reporting is poor on they'll just take someone as an example Donald Trump in the United States when that shit gets watered down and translated into Dutch or Italian being it's like

15:20 You can't even utter the name. You can't even start with a dit-dit. You weren't gonna say Donald, were you? It's unbelievable! I mean, Willow and I actually argued for a little bit. Like come on man... I'm your brother. She started listening to the show. Oh yeah of course but she got busy. She had stuff to do. It's risky. Yeah it is risky it is risky Yeah, so this morning it was like five o'clock and I slept a couple hours and was listening to the repeat of... And then I made the mistake of cruising by the Reddit. The no agenda in-the-morning subreddit It really makes me not want to do show when i read that Oh just a bunch of those people are useless No but its disturbing Its always the same thing People are just complaining about us so called defending Trump

16:21 I don't know that we've ever defended Trump. No, but you spend 15% of the time on Trump saying yeah there's 50% more media coverage of him hello? We deconstruct media! We're not a mainstream media panel oh let's talk about Bernie what do you think his chances are?! That's not what we do somehow people have this idea... Thats what some people want us to do Yeah no that's what a lot of people want us to do and that's not what we do. It's never gonna happen It's, I mean if we were going to do that we just go work for some commercial operation actually make some serious money. Thank you! You know it was like well i know he is on vacation but should have done this or should have done that gee I don't understand what this and yeah its crazy im on vacation my girlfriend has two weeks of vacation the whole year spending with her but Im still gonna work

17:13 You know, it's like you get that grief. Well back off... let's back up a minute because you didn't really finish your thoughts on the paparazzi Oh okay well I finished my thoughts on the paparazzi Yeah where were they? What did Tina think? These are the right questions So we're parked or moored right by a bridge And so we're on the deck and you know, it's beautiful sunny weather although cold. And I'm going to go for a walk and we start going across the bridge and I see the lens and like this guy is like, you know, he's moving around. He sees me. The guy is so brazen. He switching lenses. It's like he's switching it, switching lenses. Hey, hey, cheapskate get a good zoom lens that cover all the bases. So I had my umbrella

18:07 And I run towards him, waving the umbrella. He sent me the picture of it. I have to send that to you." Because I'm like, I'm going to beat you over the head! So he goes away and then we turn around and walk back... ...and there's another guy sitting between the cars. Like, hey Adam! Fuck you!" Okay so we go back in but this whole walk back over the bridge to answer your question Tina has never witnessed this. This is new to her And so all I could do was, keep your chin up. Just smile and just keep your chin up. Whatever you're doing don't stop smiling the minute you frown! The minute you frown...and i'm doing this smiley...the minute you frown that's the shot it's gonna be Tina Unhappy in Amsterdam so okay keep smiling. Exactly. Yeah plastered smile look good yeah wink now she looked dynamite she had the sunglasses on so that looked good

19:05 I really hope they use that picture of me waving my umbrella at the camera. It's like a Sean Penn moment, I'll send it to you guys sent it to him he said that was pretty funny here it is. I'll send them all to you, he said be like buncha shots and that's the twisted thing its like he stalking me takes pictures and then a wee transfer turns up hey Adam thought you'd like to see the pictures It's a silly world. It's a silly, silly world. Yeah it was very funny And then my phone rings. I'm like, yes? Because I see a number...a Dutch number but not a recognizable number. Yeah. Adam! This is Pfft, so-and-so from Story. Yeah we just got some great pics—I'm telling you We just left this scene and she's on the phone Hey do you want to talk and do interviews? No i'm not going to do any interview with you

20:04 So just give me some quotes, are you happy? Just write something nice. Please I need a quote." No no i'm not gonna do that but hang up and then that woman called Christina because we saw it was Christina was at the dinner too of course and she says hey Christina hey your dad's in town with his new girlfriend. Christina is like yeah so Yeah, but is he happy? It's none of your business. None of my business! Stop bothering me!" And then of course she's like so what do you think about Mickey and a click? Christina hangs up Then later the afternoon... That's great Later in the afternoon... Who'd I have here

20:51 My buddy was... No, that was actually when Christina came for the dinner. So Christina sitting here said hey there's someone waving at you so I look behind me and it is a not unattractive woman standing there waving at me and she looked kind of like a Russian with long blonde hair. All right i'll bite but have to go out on the deck go around walk to the other side of the boat Hey Adam, I'm sorry to bother you. Yeah? Listen i'm from the weekend and I just wanted to ask you a couple of... No! Is that a TV show? Sorry? Is that a tv show? no it's also a magazine And while im doing this she got some guy in a moped over at the corner taking pictures It was uh..it was little busy What did Tina think

21:42 Well, she thought it was pretty surreal. You'd have to ask her! No I... you know? It was surreal. What i think she thinks is that she's happy that the pictures we saw if those are the ones they published are nice That's all. But do you know what they're gonna do? She already knew it. She said oh it's going to be- They'll photoshop them No, no. You could do that. Oh, I would do it Photoshop you so you look like he had a stroke? No, they're going to make it. They are going to make him look happy. And I think the way we'll do is get one of those pictures of Patricia where she's frown and looking down with the collar up high and say Adam and Tina in Amsterdam. Patricia said something like that. That's what they do. That would work just to get her going. So she'd come back with some material. Yeah, that's good play

22:31 Anyways, I'm very happy that we're going to Paris tomorrow because well there's this news report the city of Paris is preparing for the worst case scenario an epic catastrophic 100-year flood that could decimate the region City managers and emergency workers are anticipating what would happen if the river Seine burst its banks experts believe a If Paris experienced a hundred year flood, major landmarks and boulevards would be inundated and flooded with water. More than one million people would be without power heat and safe drinking water. What was that? Hmm. This sounds fantastic for you!

23:09 Infrastructure, such as bridges, subways and communication networks would all be severely damaged. Emergency workers say raising public awareness is essential. The population of Paris without a doubt has progressively moved away from the culture of risk. It does not always take into account the gravity it is not always aware that we know that this risk of major flood which is a risk they will have serious consequences will certainly occur in an unpredictable number of years. Emergency flood drill will run for about two weeks and workers from across France, yeah, and across Europe will participate. Exactly! But they're really out there scaring the citizens John. See what did I find? There was a couple of things... The place will be beautiful Well listen to this, listen to Belgium What do you mean the place would be beautiful if there was a flood in Paris

24:01 No, it's not going to flood there. Bull crap! Oh you mean when we go there the place will be beautiful? Of course of course yeah however we will be taking what is the... What was name of the train? The TGV no not the TGV no the other one I have the app for it oh right the other one the Thales Thales yeah exactly so the Thales goes through either Antwerp and Brussels or just Brussels And this report is all over the news here about Brussels. Belgium is to supply iodine pills to all 11 million inhabitants, to help protect against radioactivity in the event of a nuclear accident. The whole country! Eleven million people... Iodine pills? John think about it we need to get our iodine like the seed man get our iodine going now we can still blanket the Netherlands We can have no agenda Adam Curry approved iodine

25:01 Well you've got the name there. Yeah! Iodine helps curate your sleep. Curidine! Hi, remember me? I'm Adam Curry. I taught you how to say Madonna properly now i'm going to save your life with my iodine pills and if you order now free boner pills accident Iodine helps reduce radiation buildup in the thyroid gland. Previously, the country only gave pills to people living near to its seven reactors spread over three sites. Before, it was a perimeter of 20 km. Now we're going to take measures for people up to 100km. We'll provide iodine pills for the whole country.

25:48 The government says the new measures take into account reactors in neighboring countries close to the Belgian border. Earlier this month, Belgium refused a German request to close down two of its oldest reactors temporarily because of defects found in their pressure vessels So the implication is that there would be a terrorist attack and there could be some event and then we all need to be prepared I'm not sure iodine will really save everybody though Unbelievable It's just scaring me. It sounds to me like Europe is completely nuts. You know, it's kind of what I said everyone has just been hammered down you know with like they've all been hit with a rubber hammer

26:35 just depressed, they're just kind of waiting for something to happen. And there's a you know we had man talk about the referendum they had with the against the Ukraine Association Agreement with the EU and yeah though the law is very clear that Prime Minister has to make a decision one way or the other. And what he's saying, and Brussels are saying is well instead of saying you know we won't do it at all maybe we can change it a little bit make everybody more happy But the law for this referendum specifically is incredibly clear. And so now they're, the same people who held the referendum have filed a lawsuit because the prime minister according to the law has to make a decision to either take the referendum as advice and say okay we're not going to ratify it and as only country which in EU law

27:32 or procedure maybe, would mean that if not all 28 member states ratified then it's not ratified. But they're now saying well you know we can always just start going and while you guys figure your stuff out... You catch up later! And the people are not stupid they get it but now they're just... Blase is not the word I'm looking for jaded of death whatever That's that is the vibe. Now people are still happy, but these are the people who you know I talked to him like we went to Thursday night We were lucky enough to find one restaurant open because that wasn't done until 10 30 quarter to 11 and everything was closed And and this lady was just closing the kitchen she'd been there for thirty years She said oh Adam all right come on in look I close the kitchen But I still have some leftovers it was dynamite, and she fed us some crazy bami and uh...we had the prawn crisps

28:30 And then she had the, you know, what's the Indonesian cake that it also has pistachio in it but it's all natural. It has green layers and pink layers. You ever had that? Yeah, that thing. And it goes along with a liqueur that is paired perfectly. And so you got a good meal there privately. Yes, yes. You're the owner? Yes! The owner knew me that's benefit. Oh the owner knew you but also it was just one of those things because your celebrity. Yes, oh hello I'm Shirley you've heard of me my name is Adam Curry and i'm looking for some dinner I'm looking for free food. No, i paid uh but you know she's like now she's really happy and it said yeah he said you know what do you think about what's going on? She says oh I don't watch television. I don't read the newspapers. I can't do it. I make food

29:18 I make food for everybody. That's the way to go! It is the way to go, isn't it? You tell that to our producers that get off... The television is just a brainwashing tool and you just proved when you said it was Willow or whoever one of those... Both Willow and Tiffany both of them both of them. Both are all sucked in again because you start if you go back to that well and you just gets sucked right in next thing you know your all gonna die. Exactly exactly Unbelievable Yeah Let's see, I have one more. Well just a little update Italy as i mentioned earlier you know they're a mess but now they're being pressured by Germany and by Berlin and specifically of course Austria Vienna As you know they are closing down borders And they want Rome to now take some responsibility for the southern route

30:11 which is now starting to open up. And we talked about it earlier with the Brenner Pass that want to close off, That is under construction a full-on fence Germany's interior minister said on Friday that migrants should no longer be able to get to northern Europe through the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia The so called Balkan route. He said there was now concerned that the number of refugees coming from Libya along alternative routes would rise he says I already said in Vienna, but it's clear about the Balkan route is a thing of the past and and no longer will or should be a place from where people will be waved through to Germany and Austria, and to the center of Europe. He was speaking after a meeting with his Austrian counterpart as work continued on the border fence at the Austrian side of the Alpine Brenner Pass crossing into Italy

31:01 The Austrian minister said the fence would send a clear message. There won't be the image of a seal off, he says rather this is a clear signal that if the 200 000 to 1 million people waiting in Libya to travel north start moving we will be in a position to effectively close this border. He said the measure was necessary to prevent the Brenner Pass turning into a major corridor for migrants looking to reach northern Europe after arriving to Italy through the Mediterranean. There you go, just keeps on going. I was thinking about this... You know China has more than one they have two or three or four of these things ghost cities that are equipped for to do have at least 1 2 maybe 3 million people? I hear ya! This is better than my Wyoming idea

31:58 You take, these cities are already built and a lot of them are kind of deteriorating because they don't have anybody there to maintain them. So you're getting weeds. They got symphony halls, they got grocery, they've got shopping malls, they've all the stores closed everything's closed because nobody is living there. There's maybe 10 thousand people in one of these cities that say But you could take one of these cities and designate it as the little, you know Syria. And make people sign certain documents so they can't become radicalized and just take the entire million of these people and put them in one of these cities and if there's another million there is still room! Yeah... Sounds like a good idea to me Well It seems like some infrastructure that is needed I mean is food gonna magically appear?

32:48 I think in China, yeah. Okay. The Chinese are trying to supercharge their... It doesn't sound very practical John. It's very practical. There is a million people! You gotta fly a million people? To China?! They can walk. Okay alright. So, um... I'm gonna get one more pet peeve off my chest and then we're done. Then we can move into some stuff because you thank God you overcompensated love it with clips that is Zika! Get it? Zika! Zika! Yeah, yeah, I'd like to review one more time that this zika bill which we dissected on was it four or five episodes ago now John

33:36 It's funny because I have the perfect clip for what you're going to talk about. About 5-4 episodes, when it first broke out when that bill was first proposed at 1.9 billion, 1.8 billion, you went after it and discovered stuff? Right and that was the $1.9 billion is what tipped me off because that is the Ebola money and the problem is that $1.9 billion in addition to the, I think it was 4 billion we already have was pledged by all these NGOs and organizations but wasn't paid up including the Google boys and the Silicon Valley investing club for 25 million and you know all these different little places and adds

34:22 And then it's $1.9 billion, but where it's going to is to the Dutch army, going over here to National Institute of Health, you know their R&D budgets... It's not going to solve Zika or save people. Yes, it's going to local NGOs but that's not like a huge medical staff necessarily You know, look at the list. I'll put the list in the show notes again and so that's why it really irked me when i heard Marco Rubio on the floor of the Senate with the following... A few weeks ago I went back to Florida on a Friday and I sat down and met with officials from the Department of Health from Florida. I met with leaders from Puerto Rico on health sector. I met with doctors that live in Miami-Dade County and also officials of Miami-Dade County

35:13 I'm gonna, they're freaked out about the Zika thing. I don't know any other term to use. They're freaked out about this Zika thing man! They really freaked out at it. Then i'm very concerned about it as well and that's why I do support fully and immediately funding this situation and I've asked our colleagues to do so quickly as possible. I can only speak...I want to speak briefly about Florida experience with us and there are two things that are deeply concerning and then I'll speak about some of the things we should be doing Get ready for John First, the summer months are upon us. Anyone who's been in Florida in the summer particularly... Summer has already started basically in Florida if you go outside The spread of mosquitoes as a threat virtually everywhere in the state is just massive It's just a way of life And the notion that there is this very deadly disease that we're still learning about by the way Just a few weeks ago What? How's it deadly

36:04 It's deadly, I mean it will create birth defects but that's different. Deadly means it kills you. Thank you this is another... Specifically when we say deadly it means it kills you Yes people are now talking about Zika as if its Ebola It's very subtle, but it's happening. And Rubio is right up front with it's deadly you can die now we know there is a coming his way there was a court yes probably state of Florida for sure there's a correlation between I should probably look that up and tell you exactly how much the state of Florida is getting as a correlation between micro microcephaly and and Zika but in its yeah people can die from things

36:47 But you could die from pneumonia. this disease when it was first discussed ever, and it's been around since the 40s. Known since the 40s. 1952 is probably right. The Rockefeller Foundation. Okay 52 and you know its been around before then? Yep! At most mild flu like symptoms mostly no symptoms whatsoever And there still be argument about the larvacide so... Well you can't be right because I just heard the senator from the great state of Florida say that It's deadly and we're still learning about it

37:40 And the notion that there is this very deadly disease, that we're still learning about by the way. I mean seriously! It's a very deadly disease but we're still learning about it? That we are learning about the part maybe not so deadly Marco The notion that there is this very deadly disease that were still learning about by the way Right just few weeks ago they said Zika well Zika only impacts small population of people A very significant population of people We are learning that this disease impacts whoever touches You don't have to, first of all you don't have to be symptomatic to spread it. Stop stop I was waiting for it What does he say? What kind of brainwashing is this it only affects a small portion of the population or a significant portion of the population. Yeah, yeah He said small The reason you took me so long because I was actually stunned i think well It had to hear it a couple times. I think what he's saying is we've heard a lot of things including Small piece of the population large part of the population that's what I think he meant

38:41 I think that's what he meant. Let's listen to that again. But sexually transmitted no less. Sexually transmitted, John! Two? Two whole cases?! Yes Stop the presses! Okay hold on Hey guys in the press room stop John wants you to stop the presses Stop the presses two dead from Zika Front page headline Go There are multiple ways In Florida alone we've had at least 2 cases of transmission sexually transmitted

39:28 By the way, it's just a matter of time before someone in Florida gets bit by mosquito. I'm telling you it is just a matter of days weeks hours before you'll open up a newspaper turn on the news and its going to say someone in the continental United States was bit by mosquito and they contracted Zika And when that happens then everyone gonna be freaked out not just me and not just people who work for health department in Florida this is going to happen Ok we go to professor Dvorak, Professor in biological sciences Yes, yes. Professor Dvorak here. Hello professor Dvorak! Is it truly only just a matter of time before someone is bitten by the Zika virus and gets... A mosquito carrying the Zika virus? Yes thank you that's what I'm saying. Yeah I would say probably it's probably true and then everyone will be... That specific mosquito that carries that viruses in South Florida It's mostly in the Everglades And everyone will be freaking out he said

40:24 Well, with these reports like this? Yeah! Everyone's gonna be freaking out because they're easily freaked out apparently. Let's listen to the CBS report... Can I just finish Marco for one second? Oh yeah, finish him and then I got...then you gotta listen to this. I know! I know you got a doozy There's just way too many mosquitoes to avoid it The second is that Miami-Dade County in particular but a lot of Florida is the transit point for all Latin America So for example one of the places most impacted by Zika is Brazil Well, this summer there's an Olympics in Brazil and they are going to be hundreds of thousands of people that cross through Florida get to Brazil and back on top of the normal number travelers. It is just a matter time it is not a question if it is a question of when

41:09 So I look at this from a Senate perspective and say we are going to fund this. We are going to spend money on Zika in Washington, D.C., number one because we should It is the obligation of the federal government to keep our people safe And this is an imminent and real threat to public safety and security of our nation and our people so the money's going to be spent The question is do we do it now before this has become a crisis or do we wait for it to become a crisis? What's so interesting is that he keeps talking about, we need to fund this now. We need to fund this now but it's not... There's gotta be some deadlines. These guys are in real hurry to rush this money out But it's not really their money You'll recall what's really going on is they're collecting They want the money IN

41:55 Remember, this is what it's about. They want... This is money owed to the Ebola... Save the Ebola victims that was pledged has not been paid and the president had been asking previously, hey come on guys you gotta step it up. You got to pay this money and now they want to transfer the remaining money to the Zika Protection Fund but it's a collection call. The Dutch Army? Yes but its a collection call! That's...that's the crazy point Well, it's definitely not being discussed properly in the news media. In fact... Yes? Here it is! This really disgusted me this is the Zika report as played out on CBS and what you want to listen to is the very last comment by Scott Pelley who who it's almost as if they

42:51 I guess they don't know anything. They're just reporting the superficial facts and everybody's bought completely in, it's like your two sisters. Whatever you know is going around as the local meme that oh we gotta get this 1.9 billion dollar It's a little kicker at the end that just galled me. A mosquito there will eventually become the first infected with the Zika virus in the US Dr Umair Shah is in charge of public health for Harris County What will happen the next day after the first case of locally transmitted Zika? All of a sudden people are going to say oh my gosh let's get funding, let's do all these things Well we have an opportunity to get those resources there and change our policies today And yet were not thinking about it in the same way

43:39 The White House has requested 1.9 billion dollars to fight Zika and the mosquitoes that carry it, but members of Congress have left town for a week without providing any additional funding and Scott today the CDC reported that a patient in Puerto Rico has died from a rare complication of Zika hard to imagine why there's a delay doctor thanks very much A rare complication of Zika? Hard to believe there is a delay Yes Unbelievable to me. Oh, it's not- pfft! Not unbelievable to me anymore this is Ebola all over again. See we couldn't really you know... Remember when? We still to this day have not seen a person puking and shitting from Ebola. Not one I'm not saying it didn't happen

44:30 But gee, you'd think it was so bad that at least we have one shot of someone really dead. Well it's not like if you remember the first reports when I first came out oh its gonna be 10 thousand dead every month and is going to increase and increase there'll be millions of people with Ebola We're all gonna die because nothing can stop this disease which has already been portrayed as one of the worst viruses ever Yeah Even though never appeared in the world until the 70s when they were creating these things in those labs in Bethesda Yeah In Bethesda You think that's what Zika is? I don't think so. No, I don't think Zika is a real virus it's not lab virus

45:09 But it's just an opportunistic thing because it showed up with the same time as this encephaly. And of course, there is still the larvicide which is known to cause this problem. That has kind of been dropped out of the conversation. A lot of No Agenda producers write us little notes talking about that and that's still up for grabs and nobody wants to ever...because you would be blaming Monsanto or whoever makes this stuff. You can't do that! It just seemed like a good opportunity. Zika is an opportunistic thing with this virus and then the 1.9 billion, it's a lot of money. Yes it's a lot of money. Staying with vaccines for a moment... I definitely will put that Zika PDF back into the show notes or make a copy in the show notes for today

46:06 So we had another bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital. And I don't know, you got a clip on that? Hello? Hold on... That is... What is it? John stop stop stop! Stop stop stop! You dropped out hold on 46 56 uh I'll say hey you got some clips and you'll pick it up. You got some clips at the hospital Not the new one. I have to, I have the results of the investigation of old one with some analysis that's dynamite Good because i have questions about Doctors Without Borders as it relates to vaccines in a moment So do we need to leave on this? You want to do this now Well It depends...I mean...uhh Okay well you know what no We can back into it. We can back into it. I'll tell you why

46:56 So, I see this Doctors Without Borders. We have another hospital that's been bombed. Been you know 20 service men women personnel have been disciplined because it was a huge cock up and whatever they're gonna say it was not a war crime because hey we had the wrong coordinates then we had the radio didn't work with the communication dropped out... What? That's old bombing This is the new one This is the new one. No, the old bombing is just finished and all those things that you concluded was part of the final 300 page report or 3000 page report That wasn't part of the new one? No I don't think so Okay I could be completely wrong but even if it's... The old one fine too You know

47:45 is this Doctors Without Borders organization, and of course I go searching around. Well you only have to put in Doctors Without Borders, CIA and you get enough. It's really impossible to figure out what may be going on but they're not just a bunch of doctors who go out and help people in troubled areas they're also a lobbying group What are they really? Did you know that they lobby for vaccines Hello? Pretty. Uh, yeah. Blowing up the hospital! Hold on you dropped out again. My question was... Yeah I don't know if I can call you back if it's gonna help. Yeah okay alright so no I didn't know where you were but I was asking did you know that they were a lobbying group? Yeah I-I know we're good if you just bring that up again Okay did you know they are lobbying group

48:56 I, this whole thing with the AC-130 pummeling that one hospital and i've got some clips that kind of indicate it was an illegal act action anyway whether it was a hospital or not. Yeah, I knew they were a lobbying group because by coincidence the day before the most recent bombing Doctors Without Borders were protesting the price of pneumonia vaccines so they're protesting Pfizer's headquarters But I don't understand, isn't pneumonia a condition? It's not a virus. It's not a disease is it? No there are a number of elements that cause pneumonia. Okay like pneumococcal disease yeah and you need a vaccine for that

49:50 They have vaccines for it, but they seem to be... there's so many little guys that cause pneumonia. Yeah! That the vaccines are only partially work. But I understand. Just for a certain type of virus you might get. I just found this to be a little bizarre Well, let's play the hospital bombing analysis. This is the background of this I believe ran on CBS and it gives us the story as it emerged in the mainstream media and told by the mainstream media as they always screwed up and it was there with just a whole bunch of mistakes that were made. And you know, nobody really got oops criminal action against them. Oops! Well today we learned how the US Air Force mistook a hospital in Afghanistan last October for an enemy hideout

50:43 42 people were killed in an airstrike on the charity hospital that's run by Doctors Without Borders. David Martin reports 16 service members are being punished, but none faces criminal charges. The 3,000-page investigation into the destruction of the hospital details a series of mistakes and miscommunications whose only excuse was the fog and fatigue of war. The report called the strike by the devastating firepower of an AC-130 gunship a disproportional response to a threat that did not exist The actions of the American commander who called in the strike and the aircraft commander who carried it out were not reasonable under the circumstances. Yet General Joseph Votel, the overall commander of the war in Afghanistan said that litany of human error did not, in his opinion add up to criminal negligence There was no intention on any other parts to take a shortcut and they were attempting to do the right thing unfortunately

51:41 They made a wrong judgment in this particular case and ended up targeting this Doctors Without Borders facility. The gunship was given the coordinates of a government building taken over by Taliban fighters, but its targeting system zeroed in on an open field instead. The aircrew picked out the closest building that resembled the one they were supposed to hit and unwittingly targeted the hospital But they were not certain and kept radioing the commander on the ground, looking for clarification on the building to be struck. The ground commander who could not see the target from his position gave a go ahead and according to the investigation willfully violated the rules of engagement

52:22 Rounds away, the aircraft reported firing the first of 211 rounds. Some of the 16 officers and men who were disciplined were relieved of command and given letters of reprimand that will end their careers. Families of the victims received payments of $6000 or $3000 depending on whether their family member was killed or wounded. Doctors without borders called the punishments inadequate when compared to the deaths of 42 people. Scott? Sounds legit to me John! Alright, now there's a couple of very interesting anomalies. Not to mention the fact that the US says they were there for half an hour and doctors without borders say this plane was circling and shooting for an hour-and-a-half.

53:09 Now how do you, even in a half an hour? You know those Gatling guns or I don't even know the machine guns. I'm not sure what armaments they have but one side of that ship is just loaded with gear to shoot with so you're there for half and hour and you've got this equipment, this modern equipment and you managed to get off 211 rounds?! What!? Doesn't these things shoot like 200 rounds a minute or about two hours a minute? That's the A-10 that has that huge Gatling gun. This is the C-11. Well, no but these things have got machine guns they're very armored it's the AC130 is a giant plane that circles and shoots like crazy and it's not gonna shoot 211 rounds in half an hour

53:57 Let alone an hour and a half, what's it do? Shoot one every couple... you know boom. This I really don't know. I really don't know what they carry Well, you can look it up while you play this clip which is the... This is the... They got an expert that could come in to PBS and he brings in some new information I didn't know anything about. And let's play a Clip 1. For more on the military's investigation and the mistakes that were made we turned Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre. He's now with the Washington Examiner and an occasional special correspondent for the NewsHour. Jamie, when we first started reporting this story when it happened in October, the narrative was that U.S. forces or Afghan forces were under attack and that this air cover was there

54:45 in officially ended in Afghanistan at the end of 2014. So, US airstrikes are limited to just three very specific instances protecting US troops on the ground going after remnants of Al Qaeda and protecting Afghan forces if they're in danger being overrun and slaughtered now The commander on the ground said he did this because his forces were under fire but what the report shows is is

55:42 which has a whole series of factors involved, never would have happened if the commander on the ground had not exceeded his authority in calling in that air strike. Which is essentially to soften up the target so Afghan forces could mount an offensive That's not something US troops supposedly were doing. Mm-hmm They have... It was illegal order to begin with 105 millimeter howitzer M102 which is what four inches? Those are pretty big. Yeah, that's a good guess there were just shooting at one gun I guess 200 was a possibility you wouldn't need more than 200 to flatten the building with those they also have me see no that's the biggest thing well of course they also have hellfires but it didn't they said round so they didn't say hellfires but yeah there's um twenty millimeter cannon 40 millimeter and then the howitzer seems like most of them had the howitzers but not all

56:45 I don't know which model this was. Okay, well let's go to hospital bombing analysis two All right so let's talk about the series of errors that led to this tragedy First doctors without borders has said listen we tell everyone in the battle theater exactly where our locations are The military has this list But it looks like this flight took off without that list to begin with. Yeah, there's no question that this was a protected site That was not supposed to be hit It was on the No Strike List but as in any accident or mishap like this There's a whole series of things that go wrong He's not gonna tell me they took off and forgot the list which is apparently piece paper

57:25 Is that what they're gonna tell me? Please, please say it ain't so. You interrupt that chain at any point the bad thing doesn't happen and this one started when the AC-130 gunship took off in what you thought was an emergency mission to go help some US troops on the ground turned out they didn't have to They were on their way back because of that they took off early did not have the no strike list loaded into their plane They also were then threatened by a shoulder-fired missile from the ground that caused them to divert... I will say the no strike list, that may be something they side load. They don't want to transmit it but still it seems like something you could probably

58:06 at least have an older version of. When they came back, they were at a different angle. The targeting system pointed them to an empty field and then they made the really fatal mistake and that was to try to identify the target visually on the ground based on the description that they had and they simply confused the hospital building for this government compound that was about 1 quarter mile away And you know once they thought that was the target They were convinced They were locked onto it and began really withering

58:48 fire from the air that lasted almost a half an hour. And this is based off of a description they're getting from someone who's on the ground not next to the hospital or next to where the fighting allegedly was happening but several kilometers away? Yeah, there were nine kilometers away and that's what another violin you know normally you have to have eyes on the target There's somebody on the ground called a JTAC, Joint Tactical Air Control. Essentially it's a spotter who is spotting the target they're supposed to have eyes on the target what the report found was nobody had eyes on the target not the Afghans not the Americans and of course the crew of the plane didn't either and this by the way is a very fearsome weapon this AC-130 gunship It's a modified AC-130 aircraft with a series

59:31 cannons out the left side, it circles the target and just rains shells down on the target. It can really do damage to a target and that's what happened here Yeah, this sounds like it. You know... I don't think that's the sound like 211 either but it also doesn't sound like a weathering as plausible story ring fire for half an hour is not 211 shots now okay I agree but he makes the point that pretty fierce aircraft that can do damage. But they say, oh we forgot the post-it note? Yeah that's not good. You know stick it on the dashboard and you'll be good to go. No! And there is nobody verifying anything its just like this I'm telling you this was done on purpose? Purpose, on purpose. For a reason. The thing we don't know is the reason but let's play clip 3 and then we will be done with that

1:00:23 Jamie, even in this report there still seems to be a discrepancy in how long this attack took place. The government has one number on how many minutes the AC-130 was circling this hospital but the Doctors Without Borders folks at the beginning had a different number? Yeah so they said it was about an hour and half And by the way, they were making desperate calls to the US military headquarters saying look we're being attacked you know call off that plane The Pentagon today admitted that those calls as you might expect went through some layers of bureaucracy before they the message was passed to ground commanders. According to the Pentagon's investigation, once they determined that was happening the information was relayed to the plane crew and they stopped shooting but again as you mentioned there is a discrepancy about that and Doctors Without Borders has put out their own investigation, their own account of what happened based on eyewitness reports from people on the ground and really it is just a horrific description of this very terrible tragedy that happened in the early morning hours of the day

1:01:25 Man, what a mess. This doesn't sound... None of this sounds right and the glossy report. Well the implications of Doctors Without Borders is that the borders is let me see was it Nicholas Sarkozy one of his top guys went to run Doctors Without Borders and he was a known CIA agent you know that's the kind of stuff I'm running into? I don't know if any of that's true there may be some wisps of smoke there But it, what is this the fifth hospital now? This has got to be... Yeah well yeah. What's the message and if the CIA is involved what are they shooting at the CIA for that doesn't make any sense No no but just because someone or top of Doctors Without Borders may be in cahoots doesn't mean that the people on the ground are being sacrificed you know

1:02:27 These people don't stop for 30, 40 dead people. They don't care? Especially if you can make it look like an accident. Well the whole thing was poorly reported Doctors without borders still irked about the whole deal and these and the guys who sent these orders in especially the illegal order Which because we're not supposed to be involved in any of this stuff, and it's because we're supposed to be out here's what I think So I think what happened is The crew was questioning. This is what I understand The crew was questioning is this a legal order? And that's when communications didn't work well We all know how that works

1:03:09 Come in, come in. Headquarters come in! AC what the... AC what the... Excuse me... And then you know fuck it let's go When you have a report that is 3000 pages That always to me is a giveaway That means its obfuscation Lots of facts Lots of facts Lots of facts Lots of bullshit just fill it up Yeah, well you know one thing's for sure we have a lot of people on the inside in the military they're gonna first I'm sure they will set us straight on exactly what type of weaponry there was about the rounds because you seem to be interested in that overly interested in that. I just find it weird that they would say 211 specifically as though they're counting them and you know... You never know with these numbers like it's like the 1.9 billion someone may go oh 2 and 11 that's this

1:04:10 That's the genius of the No Agenda producers in our network. Yeah, well there is that and I'm hoping somebody chimes in we do have a lot of people in the military listening to this show And with that I want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C! The C stands for classic car tweets Dvorak Ah Well In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all ships and sea boots underground subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. Yeah! In the morning everybody in the chat room knowageinthestream.com I'm sorry for the in-and-out as what happens with the situation that we're in right now can't help it but thanks for showing up Also thank you to Martin JJ he brought us a lovely artwork

1:04:56 For episode Martin JJ. He is back for episode 8 2 1 with our Dutch girl there about to I think he photoshopped her mouth a little wider as kind of like a wink where that herring's going in. You know what I mean? Yeah, it looks more like a clownish look. Exactly! Sucking the fish. But we appreciate all... sucking in soot. We appreciate the work that all of our artists do at noagendaartgenerator.com If you feel like it submit for this episode but you can always just go out and check it check what's going on there they make great art for your wall

1:05:37 You got a new apartment. Yeah, low on cash print a couple of these out dynamite yeah people think you're like some sort of a Connoisseur art collector. Yeah connoisseur exactly honest or nice in the square black frame you can get them at Ikea yes Square-frame they have them with the and you can size the thing pretty well Don't you remember one of our producers had a how to oh how to free no agenda Artwork, I bet you there's a link to it. Hold on think you can get like a really high quality I think if you do like an 8x8 frame with the like 7 by 7 or something in depends on how they're matted I Think there's a 5 x5 mat on a 8x8 frame or something at IKEA. It was only 70 But it's doable and that would be very attractive yeah

1:06:39 Okay, I can't find it. Let's...I've seen people have in fact I think Ramsey Cain and... Yes! They have it on the wall of the office you're right maybe it was Ramsey Cain who had that for us he had the link yeah they have a bunch of them on the wall they look great It's another free service with no agenda. But people do help the show and we're going to thank the executive and associate executive producers for showing 821 starting with Jason Berg in Portland, Oregon $300 I want to send out a Mayday alert to stop community tear down and the growth of urban infill

1:07:15 It's the night of Peacock Lane. I need karma to stop a dishonest developer hiding behind a shell game of trust and fake companies. He is trying to tear down one of the houses on a street with history going back to the 20s, known as The Christmas Street. He wants to build cheaply built housing that does not fit in with the rest of the street and will look like a boil on the community of neighbors and friends that is Peacock Lane. Oh no, he's got a link to peacocklane.org Sir Jason is pissed off apparently yeah of course needs karma to stop this we'll take care of that here's your karma you've got karma Kevin Kelly I should have done this already Kevin Kelly has an email that he sent into accommodate his

1:08:09 His thing. You're going to hear me get louder if I go to my email? Oh yeah, this is another little glitch we're working on trying to figure out sometimes when John types on his keyboard, this microphone gets really loud. I know you've all heard it before and it's very strange and it's like the entire room was being sucked through your butthole into the mic. It's crazy. Wow! It's image I don't care much for that. And there it is. There it is It's always when I go to the one mail system too. Let's see, it's a, it's an interrupt conflict. Do we have that with IRC at the interrupt conflict between your drivers and your peripherals back in the good old days? Now, the other thing of course as I talked

1:09:05 Mark of the of my who candles me emailing has been sluggish John and Adam ITM episode 818 is coverage of the Zika was outstanding that is Thanks to Adam Curry who actually looked into it instead of saying I don't know why it's taking so long to get some money Where's where's my money? That segment and really the entire episode is a great place to start when introducing someone new to the show. 818, okay we'll take that as advice. That's 818 good advice indeed thank you. Readily available information about a global scam that no news agency seems remotely interested in discussing

1:09:46 Along with this donation, I'm also including some pictures from a recent trip to Crimea. Oh yeah! This is...I'm going to put this in an upcoming newsletter not the next one maybe that went after it was absolutely beautiful i stayed in Yalta right on the Black Sea there's no doubt that you're in a post-Soviet territory but the landscapes are stunning and the people generally warm and welcoming nobody treated me as if I was the enemy I can say this, that Peninsula ain't going back to Ukraine if they have any say in the matter. These people including the friend i was visiting are as happy as clams to be part of Russia there is no doubt and them in my mind that they made a voluntary choice to succeed from the Ukraine after years away felt was neglect

1:10:31 There was no invasion. And a quick chat with anyone on the street or in an Uber car, it's interesting, would reveal that this decision they made was not voluntary and is one they are quite happy with. I visited on the two-year anniversary of their former annexation—I might as well have been on the 4th of July—in Sevastopol. It was a Festival-like atmosphere, Russian flags everywhere. Children's faces painted in Russian white blue and red large outdoor concert stages thousands of people celebrating outside my please give a shout out to my friend Bill

1:11:07 who was recently donated and hit two of his kids in the mouth. May also have a shot of karma and a sucking in soot." Two of his kids, two of his kids in the mouth! Well while you were reading that I... hold on let me get this sucking in soot. That's an important one to have standing by oh we can actually do a little jingle here there we go um I got the pdf and so here are the countries what they owe these payees and this is what it's about. So when Marco Rubio says, we're gonna get this funded he means hello, hello United Kingdom you owe us $500 million dollars Hello France! You're about 111 million short Hello Germany you promised 391 you've only given us 134 Hello Silicon Valley Foundation where is your 25 million? You pledged you've given nothing

1:12:04 European Union, 939 pledged. 715 given. Hello! Hello hello! That's what this is about Oh Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Hey, you owe us 5 million PG Allen here Paul Allen Family Foundation Uh for your short 14 million dude And uh then where is the money going? The Dutch Army. Yep, 668 million is going to Liberia that makes sense. Why? Yeah I don't know Guinea 835 million then we have here we go the World Food Program well 302 million UNICEF 312 United Nations women a million bucks why not

1:13:01 And then the Netherlands Ministry of Defense, 7 million. Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency 1 and a half million. US Department of Defense 631 million. No wonder everyone's up in arms! Literally... And CDC is about 800 million dollars. Yeah I'm sure that they will save the world with that Samaritan's Purse, Save the Children, World Vision. Goal International Medical Corps they're probably legit. It's gotta be somewhere in there! Someone's got to be legit but you know it's...but this is not

1:13:43 This is just giving it to all these other countries and taking it from one country. Maybe this is a precursor to climate change? That's what it is! It's a slush fund. Alright, here's Obama for you. We'll do the jingle. In the 1970s there would be regular days where people would not go outside. You've got karma.

1:17:05 Yeah, and he says please let John say Kosten Jaar Abonnement geen Agenda Show Close it What he says is Kosten Jaar Abonnement Geen Agenda Show. Okay that means what? It means This is the the cost of a yearly subscription to The No Agenda show 200 bucks That's reasonable He says somehow monthly donation Yeah, somehow monthly donations don't work with PayPal. Huh? Therefore a little more than a year of monthly donation in one go please keep up the good work some very enjoyable shows recently Thank you a more EU reporting welcome where you got plenty today But also the Trump reports are very insightful as to how the MSM is trying to influence the sheeple Yes indeed thank you exactly right exactly right and I do want to say that

1:18:02 Got a tweet the other day from someone who said, hey that's an interesting little email I got from you guys and it was Hey! The NOA Agenda Show has unsubscribed you from your subscription. We need to mention this from time to time. That is what happens with PayPal for sometimes just unknown reasons I think it's credit cards expiring is pretty much what seems to be the most frequent reason but it all can just happen for no good reason and of course we are not unsubscribing you and Many people get unsubscribed And don't even know it so you might want to check if you think you have a subscription here, but here I've concluded something oh I believe that this happens because the No Agenda show, unlike a lot of shows that have these subscription systems there's a checkbox you can make. That if you change your credit card or anything they will wait and track you down until they get the new credit card in there and then you're back on track for paying the subscription And i've always disliked that process. If you wanted to unsubscribe you could do it various ways including just

1:19:05 In other words, it makes almost impossible unsubscribe. Yeah The problem is is that because you chewed the promise because we the no agenda show has have chosen to not check that box It's our fault That's okay And then they so they blame us well these guys They put it down other things but now know yeah, they want it that way Okay You don't want to gouge your listeners If you don't want to play nice, okay. So the thing people have to do that you really do have to once every probably every six months check to see if your subscription is still working because I'd say we lose like a lot of money every year because of this issue. Yes, I agree. All right finally Jessica Wyatt in San Antonio Texas 200 bucks and she's got a note in here. This is actually going for her.

1:20:01 then in tune, going for her husband's knighthood. And she wants to credit him she got a note and then another note the notes says please apply this donation to Andrew Wyatt's knighthood now I don't know if she wants to take the executive producer credit or not but we'll give him the knighthood credit but you have to do your own bookkeeping Jessica so keep us in loop and when it happens let us know In the morning she writes high...she wrote a handwritten note Hi, John enclosed you will find a check for the amount of $200. That is I would like to be applied toward my husband's knighthood and smiley face. I am writing to get a Kickstarter karma and chemtrails please. I live in San Antonio Texas and I'm very excited about bringing my dream of opening a nerd clubhouse to life

1:20:54 What is that? What's a nerd clubhouse, it sounds interesting. Since my Kickstarter campaign launches on May 1st my donation and karma requests are intended for your Sunday show to get this thing started on the right foot the link will be available on www San as in san Antonio nerd s-a-n-e-r-d so it's SNERD with two Ns It's a nerd dot club. Oh, geez... If you're curious go check it out. I'm gonna check it out right now. One in! A one-in? Like Sane Nerd. Would be Sanerd. Dot Club. Dot Club. Sanerd dot club. Okay. I still prefer No Agenda as THE talking people show but at least now I get some of the insider jokes. Hope you like these stationaries. You can explain them to me

1:21:53 Station there's a bunch of cats at the top. Okay, so that said that's our you can tell it give us recordings to nerd club Yeah sounds interesting and she's just you know an hour down the road hour in 20 minutes if its cool I'd love to go check it out Maybe it's a place for Texas meetup might be Sun says yeah, we're looking for places yet the nerd plays that become anyway That concludes our executive producer and associate executive producers segment for 821. I want to thank everybody, we do have a show coming up. Of course the next show is a clip show of Barry. We haven't concluded which one it's going to be but it will be... Sir Cyber has re-edited the second episode of The No Agenda Funnies, I think he called it

1:22:43 And I listened to that's never been played the second episodes never been no and I list about 45 minutes in there. I laugh You know, it's odd always laughing at yourself like man we're funny but yeah I'm just going to look in the mirror. But he did a lot of work he did A LOT OF WORK! I know he did... I know he did So that'll be running on Thursday and so you won't be able to read the donation segment but that will be moved all the donation segments and all everything that comes in will be moved to Sunday with an extra long segment And uh....so then we'll look forward to that and by the way this coming Thursday is May Day

1:23:20 That's correct. And we'll have a special donation segment for people because people really like them not I'm not May Day, Sanco de Mayo. Yeah let me get it straight the upcoming Thursday is Sanco de Mayo this today is mayday now in that in the Netherlands uh the fifth so they don't really celebrate I don't think there really is any may day celebrations which is odd for kind of a socialist country but on May 5th um instead of the Cinco de Mayo, which of course would not make sense here. The Mexican population is not that big. Sure it wouldn't. But it's Liberation Day when the Americans and Canadians liberated the country so you know... Really? Yeah a big festival huge! Huge! So its Liberation day AND Cinco De Mayo Yes A double hit And it is Adam and Tina one year anniversary It's a triple hit I tell ya

1:24:15 So your anniversary was because you like the Mexican culture so much, you met on Sanco de Mayo? Yes. Well Tina's half Mexican Is she? Yeah she's half Mexican and half Lithuanian but I just say that she is back up Russian in case they need more. Oh it's a good mix Apparently she's very pretty. Okay, that'll do it for this go to Dvorak dot org slash NA and think of someone getting on board with one of the programs yes And of course these credits the executive producer and associate executive producer credits These are ones that come at the beginning of the show because you're really making this show happen and we look forward to thanking everybody else above $50 who of course make the show happen as well

1:24:58 And they get their obvious producer credits for participating in the program. They're really good to put anywhere that you might have a CV or some kind of resume and as John said we'll have another show, we'll have the comedy show coming up on Thursday and Sunday will be back with an extra long thank-you segment. Devorac.org slash N A. And of course in the meantime you'll have a full week to be out there getting our formula Our formula is this We hit people in the mouth Trails in the karma, so I kind of got it karma So taken aback by her nerd a nerd place would seem to be girl nerds there too girl nerds Nerd at good nerd good nerds nerds Good nerd can really go cuz that sounds dirtier than nerd and nerds can answer. Yeah

1:26:04 Alright, I found a couple uh... Did you get anything from the correspondence? The White House Correspondents Dinner. No Ah crap See- I had- They actually stopped watching it Well I had clips I only wanted to play two clips and only got the first clip See I wanted to play the second clip but because of all the horrible things that happened there was a pair of clips It was the president then it was the uh what's his name Larry Wilmore Wilmore is his name who uh Yeah Wilmore So here was the President I do apologize I know i was a little late tonight. I was running on CPT, which stands for jokes that white people should not make. Now so uh European listeners or listeners outside of Gizmo Nation proper won't know necessarily what CPT stands for and I don't think we talked about this in the show

1:27:04 This happened in New York and Hillary Clinton was on stage with the mayor, one of the actors I think the main guy from Hamilton. And then the mayor says well sorry I'm late it was on CP time which is an old racist joke for color people time. But the joke was, no I'm on cautious politician time. And the joke fell flat it was like you know in context it was probably funny but if he just have a soundbite... You know like they screw Trump they screw Clinton too only If it would've been Trump there would have been a million times worse Oh yeah Yeah for sure So now the president is making a joke about that flat joke and wow! I have a crack in my screen holy shit

1:27:51 You have a crack in your screen? Yeah, my brand new MacBook. Wow! Never mind... But it was kind of like jokes white people should never make and then Wilmore came out and of course this is the clip I wanted to play where he said you know the president's hair is so white it was yelling all lives matter. He had all these kinds of jokes which And they're not offended by him, it's just a joke. It was funny but let's just agree that its racist joke But it was institutionalized you know? It wasn't like no one knew he was going to make these jokes and it was all okay That's pushing for me Now maybe I'll go back and look at it Yeah, but I wish I had more clips I find the correspondence dinner to be tedious It is...it is

1:28:51 Yeah, Wilmore. It is tedious you're right but I tried to get some stuff from it but just technical difficulties made it almost impossible however... Well that did everyone a favor! I'd pick up a couple of interesting clips because now the conversation seems have turned to the woman's card Mimi has received several offers from Hillary Clinton to actually get a woman's card which looks like a little credit card Yeah, I thought that was genius by the way. I like that but what- What i have not been able to find which I know it happened... ...I know it was said.. It's so hard because of the corruption of how search engines work. I'm pretty sure that Hillary herself or her campaign said early on... ...said you know if I was a man and I wouldn't have gotten 5% of the votes

1:29:47 But she meant it in a different way. Like, you know... How did she say it that way? It was exactly what Trump said only she said it in her advantage I can't do remember this that she said that No, I wish i did. I think someone may remember. Let me see...I have the... Someone might be able to dig up a clip for you that would be great. Or a transcript would even be good if we could find that. A transcript would be good So anyway so that's what I've been seeing and of course uh..i'm over here so I'm just trolling around looking at different little bits and bobs from some of the news stations Ah man it's so hard to get clips from CNN with the autoplay You know you can't bookmark his hair horrible MSNBC though had Michelle Goldberg on

1:30:31 She's from Slate, I don't know if you know her. I don't know her personally. Okay but do you know of her? No. Okay, well anyway here she is and this is now all on the woman's card tip Because it's just gonna be so vicious and so ugly when you think about the amount of racism that has been unleashed by Obama being president And then you think about all of the submerged gender anxieties Of men losing their primacy in kind of the American system and all of that Did you hear that? Oh yeah, men have lost their primacy. What's the problem? What are you bitching about? Let me ask you... All the white man have lost their primacy. Men in general lost their primacy. Okay let's say that true it is true so now what do you bitchin' about

1:31:27 What's she bitching about? Well, because we're still happy camper. No, we're still in the way She's bitchin that were in the way So we've lost our primacy but where we're hanging on by fingernails because we're in the way are Are sad bodies arse are sick ugly men Menis Maleness is just in the way I think that's what she means plausible? Okay. Because it's just going to be so vicious and so ugly when you think about the amount of racism that has been unleashed by Obama being president, and then you think all of this... And that by itself yeah the racism unleashed by Obama being president I'm sorry i have to say unleased by the President himself has been increase.. And by this woman she is a racist!

1:32:13 Because it's just gonna be so vicious and so ugly. When you think about the amount of racism that's been unleashed by Obama being president, and then you think of the submerged gender anxieties of men losing their primacy in kind of the American system and all that, you know. In the American system John we're losing our primacy in America? Is that the whole system is at the economy? Is it the banking system? Is just politics? We're just losers! We are just slimy flesh eating no good losers. good.

1:33:12 Err? Err, misogynist. I love that little err she does in the front there. Err... Oh really? It stands for something?! No! No! You're kidding me! Like ER-err misogynist?? Yeah, I'm just telling you. She says it in such a way that it's not like she saying errrr as some sort of a hype or stalling word. I thought it was just like errrr! Really? Err massagist? No, I think it means something. Does anybody in the chat room know what err massagist might refer to? Okay well here look it up John my bandwidth is crap

1:33:54 No, no don't do that then your mic goes loud. You're right so I think it's you are misogynist? Misogy-no errrr Well hold on a second book of knowledge definition of error misogynist The word misogynist means a misanthrope who dislikes women in particular. I think it means primary Book of Knowledge Definition of Error The word or has two meanings as a noun one estate in Northwestern United States on the Pacific to a room in a hospital equipped for the performance All right, you're fired. You're fired go at you I don't know but I don't know oh here's er with it seems to exist err

1:34:44 10 types of misogynist men we all need to know about. Well, here we go! Let's see John... 10 types of miso- manter- man- Manterrupters? Manterupters?! This is a good one. Manterupters That's a great one are you nuts!? In every workshop conference- Don't manter up me! Here in every wor- don't manter up me! In every workshop conference meeting discussion group or classroom conversation there's usually at least 1 guy who wins this title These men will often hijack the conversation and or derail its original topic in order to match their own personal interests. I do that sometimes, but I catch myself doing that. I don't think i'm a manterupter. You're a manteruptor! I knew it! The... let's see emotional labor dodgers? I'm not interested in that one. Manspreader? That's an unknown term. A goit? No no not goit Man babies? Man babies?! Man babies

1:35:48 I don't know what a man baby is. Maybe that's the people that hang out with the women like her. Uh, mansplainer and we've heard of that one. Manarchists, mactivists and progressives. Hold on a second. I gotta shoot myself right now bro hey there'll be a progressive man A manarchist this is genius Manner where's the er misogyny? I'm still looking for it mannequin. This is too good Mannequins often tend to devalue or invisiblize Movement work that's traditionally been thought of as women's labor childcare medic work flyer making distro cooking relationship building okay, the Cis sexists

1:36:39 Cissexists. How am I? Cissexist, almost imperative term for you. Negating someone's gender identity. Anyone who says they're a woman is a woman. You are not the authority on womanhood. Oh really? It says anyone who says... Wait! I wonder how women feel about that. You are not the authority on womanhood case closed. Case closed Case closed. You're not the authority on womanhood, case closed! Okay I'm sorry but i didn't want to have to do this right now. I didn't want to have to do it but I'm gonna have to do it But I have come across some very sad audio and three pieces It just comes to me now... The internet is being flooded for all the face bags

1:37:38 culture appropriation. So we're going to learn some things, we're going from culture appropriation... ...to a professor at a college explaining exactly what white privilege is and then I have a kicker an extra bonus explanation for us but i thought maybe it would be interesting listen to another one of these YouTube millennials who will explain to us what cultural appropriation is. We did it on the last show, would you like to just maybe tell us one more time what that is John? Culture appropriation? That's where you lift some ideas or some process done by culture that you think could be good in another culture and you steal it

1:38:24 As though it's not... you steal it as though it was owned or copyrighted or something instead of some long-lasting cultural identity, idea, jazz for example. White people playing would be a cultural appropriation. Okay please don't interrupt when she does the headdress part because we know that's bullcrap and is not worth stopping for that But listen to how she twists this and where she takes it. Cultural appropriation is basically when you take something from a culture that you don't belong to, such as a Native American headdress, cough, Coachella...and use it outside of that cultural context usually without understanding its cultural significance and oftentimes changing its original meaning for example the swastika which we are all

1:39:11 familiar with as a symbol used by the Nazis during the Holocaust. I love how it's doing the Holocaust now, but maybe to the Second World War? Probably gonna be a swastika on the screen just kind of go with it! Originally this swastika was used as a sacred symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism to represent prosperity good luck and liberation however it started being associated with rather opposite concepts in the 1920s when it was appropriated and bastardized by the Nazi Party. Now is that cultural appropriation?! Uh, no. I didn't think so! That's just some taking the design and calling it your own they actually reversed it. They did reverse it yeah But there is not that the culture that created the original symbol and what it represented was not

1:40:01 taken and stolen. All that was moved was the symbol itself with no culture attached to it so how's that cultural appropriation? Well what she gets to do is she gets to tell you that when you appropriate someone's culture, you're a Nazi! That's the idea. Ah exactly! This is the perfect example of an outside group taking something of religious and cultural significance, And changing its original meaning so that it's no longer accessible to the group that it was taken from. But that's not cultural appropriation darling! Certain examples of cultural appropriation include Katy Perry performing in a modified kimono and geisha makeup, Katy Perry performing in a bindi, and just...Katy Perry in general There you go, Katy Perry is a cultural approp- uhhhh buhhh appropriator

1:40:49 The horrible girl? That bitch. But isn't America supposed to be a melting pot? Okay, here we go you ready the melting pot oh When did we I always thought New York City was the melting pot is America of the melting pot yeah We're the melting pot what does that mean the melting pot That means people come from all over and they all get into our culture, which is a mix of cultures. And they become Americanized and they don't just sit there in the ghetto speaking Arabic. The myth of the melting pot is an outdated model used to describe the equal blending of cultures to create one single new and better culture Is that true? Kind of

1:41:43 Kind of mmm. It's are you okay? However most sociologists have scrapped this idea and choose to look at the blending of cultures like a salad keep their own What she said most tend to look at it like a salad Theologists have scrapped this idea and choose to look at the blending of cultures is like a salad It's a salad We're with the salad of the world with a salad bowl of the world oh I mean, it's just- if you...

1:42:43 What's going to wind up happening is if you wear cornrows in your hair, you're gonna be Hitler. You're killing children and forcing them to let... It's horrible! By the way, she says the 20s is 1933 when the swastika became the symbol official symbol of the Nazis fascists. I didn't think... She's got nothing right here and i didn't think yeah exactly but it the internet is that the face bag is filling up with this stuff filling up with Okay, that's Facebook. That's why it is a horrible thing by the way The swastika in Finnish military history was actually used by the Finnish Air Force in and around First in 1918 now and Paul only wasn't cocked It was straight up-and-down it wasn't a cocktail right to a tilted wasn't tilted Paul Pierdomon just said this waska is also a runic symbol for the Sun and very closely linked to the sun wheel of the

1:43:43 the Celts and the symbol of the Celtic god Tyrannos. It goes way back, it goes way back. Yeah well okay so where are these... By the way good entry in the Wikipedia on this swastika you should everyone should look at it's very interesting very entertaining Where do the kids learn? Well where did the kids learn this they learned this in their colleges their schools. They haven't learned anything Well yes they're learning this and I'm going to prove it to you This is Portland Community College, who have... A bastion of the intellectuals of the United States. Okay go! Well I mean this- I know, i know, i know it's happening at Ivy League schools as well John don't you think? Well we have our people and I got a letter to read right after your done. Err misogynist. Okay they had Whiteness History Month which was an important- What? Whiteness History Month

1:44:43 Whiteness? Yes, whiteness. Was this sponsored by Tide or was it all... which laundry department are you talking about? This is about whiteness! This is about being white and whiteness and we can all learn about whiteness. Whiteness! You get it? Whiteness! Yeah there's the way you do your laundry. Remember this is Portland Community College the bastion of higher education as you pointed out And this professor explains... yeah yes Do you want to say something No, just play him. I'm already on pins and needles here Is this a black guy or white guy? This is a white gal A white lady And she... And this is one of the students filmed this on his or her iPhone Zerr iPhone So you can also read along on the screen But it's audible enough to hear the examples As she first explained to us exactly what White privilege is Sir

1:45:40 Because I wanted to sort of start off at the same place in terms of how- Stop. Yes, stop. You could back this up with that woman that used to be running NPR they sound exactly the same advertising whatever. She does! Don't you think? Maybe... Do i have that one? Is that the one we're always looking for? Let me see. NPR... So when you're always advertising, okay let's try it here we go. The year that just ended hospital- No that's not it. Damnit! Why can I never find that one?!

1:46:22 Underwriting underwriting is what it was under writing under writing now. I can't find a John We'll just we'll find that for another time all right Research or academics, or just general conversation happening out in the world and I think it's important for us to just start by defining white privilege because that inevitably does come up when we talk about white fragility. So, we're going to look at a few definitions The first one is... Excuse me This is actually from Robin... Sorry, I just lost my train of thought. I apologize. You can see- She's such an idiot! The logic kid doesn't remember who wrote the quote but okay here comes

1:47:16 You can see where it's from, The Social Construction of Whiteness in Women. And it reads white privilege is a set of advantages and or immunities that white people benefit from on a daily basis beyond those common to all others Did you get that? I got white people benefit on a daily basis that i couldn't understand. Above all others, above all others. Above all other? Others yes. Social construction of whiteness in women and it reads white privilege is the set of advantages and or immunities that white people benefit from on a daily basis beyond those common to all others yeah beyond beyond all others A set of privileges... That include the queen Yes she's white if the queen is white

1:48:00 No, no but does it all... is it all the same? So the Queen doesn't have any extra white privileges than I do. Of course the Queen has extra privileges! But there's something wrong with this definition She's got white to the max plus plus plus one privilege Yeah but that's what it is It's a set of benefits we enjoy above all others Okay Alright Well apparently that's over Well here's more Another, from Francis Kendall says white privilege is an institutional rather than personal set of benefits. Institutional rather than personal set of benefits so it's institutionalized white privilege. Granted to those of us who by race resemble the people who hold the power positions in our institutions

1:48:49 one of the primary privileges is having great access to power and resources that people have colored in. In other words, purely on the basis of our skin color doors are open to us that are not opened to other people." And lastly from James Baldwin, being white means never having to think about it. There you go! Being white means never having to think about it Okay, well whatever I guess. I don't think about it that much no But did now that we have the as the other clip with the end of male primacy does that mean to whites? Males are now like ah you know get the privilege a more No, no you play right into my cards. No now. We know yes now we need to hear the definition and explanation of and this again is from whiteness history month

1:49:40 White fragility that is where we're headed John white fragility For you This is from Robin D'Angelo, who I mentioned earlier has done a lot of work around this subject. And she says white fragility is the state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable triggering a range of defensive moves These move include the outward display of emotions such as anger fear and guilt and behaviors such as argumentation silence and leaving the stress inducing situation

1:50:21 these behaviors in turn function to reinstate white racial equilibrium. So did you hear that? No, it's really hard to hear okay white fragility is when you have white privilege but you deny it and you get angry and you start to talk loud and you start to become yes Yes, I know! I'm completely white fragile. White fragility is my middle two names. ...E Martin did another nice definition... She blogs about a lot of really nice things and- Oh this is great. The professor's now going to read a definition of white fragility from a blogger because she writes really nice things. I thought this was really nice because it's less academic but says some important stuff. She says white fragility is at its essence gut level pushback

1:51:08 It's like the fight-or-flight response of white people who want to believe that they and the world by extension are less racially divisive than they really are. This is perfect! So, white fragility is when you want the world to be less racially divided than the world is and YOU ARE because you're really racist, you see? When you say you're not... These people are absolutely clinically insane. When you say you're not racist, that actually means you have white fragility and are therefore racist and have white wealth- I think- Not racism, white privilege let me put it that way You know this woman is suffering from all of this white privilege stuff Well! It's interesting you say that Hold on hold on we'll roll it back just a couple seconds here comes White extension are less racially divisive than they really are

1:51:59 It's when you feel like the wind has been knocked out of you, when a person of color points out something that you've said. Seems rooted in a privileged experience with the world." When-when you feel the wind is knocked out of you when a person of color points out something you said as I guess being part of white privilege? "...it's when you desperately want to defend why well intentioned institution that your part isn't really racist It's when you evade talking about certain parts of who you are for fear that it will make you vulnerable for critique from people of color. I know, when i read that definition, I was like oh my gosh totally see myself there. Like im going through this Melinda timeline right? Im going through this Melinda timeline right about how incredibly white privileged and white fragile I am listen right? Oh my gosh totally see myself there

1:52:48 I was going through this Melinda timeline, right? Maybe the 12-year old Melinda or the 25 year old Melinda. Through my own evolution because we make mistakes even with our best intentions we make mistakes and i just really love that so it's like I did feel it. It felt in my gut when I was reading that. I'm like yeah you have done that too So she's saying not only is this true, but oh my gosh I've been doing this my entire life when i was three when i was five when i was ten. When i was a teenager...I have suffered from white privilege and because I've denied it because of denied that I have white fragility and therefore I'm racist! You know if you're out there and you want to date a black guy just do it we don't need this bullshit. Or misogynist

1:53:37 Is that what you think it's about? Rationalizing your dating some black guys. Probably got a reputation Hey, it's okay we don't mind if you're dating the black guy Yeah fine No white guy wants to date ya I can tell you right now You should see the video but I think and I think she's non-binary No, that could be. Well this all reminds me of this clip which I think summarizes the whole thing You nailed that by the way. This is the kid... What? You nailed it! It was good Kid shoots intruder. This to me is the future America Burglars are gonna think twice about hitting this house in Alabama. Home to 11 year old Chris Gaithier He was home alone Wednesday morning a man broke-in They've been actually hit before

1:54:36 This time the kid was ready. Instead of calling 911 he grabbed a 9mm handgun. I guess you didn't think it was a real gun because he didn't worry about it, he just kept on walking. I shot through a hamper that he's carrying and it went straight through his leg. He started crying like an old baby Full metal jacket. The intruder was taken to the hospital, Chris credits his stepdad for his shooting skills. He shot him through the hand? Is that what he said? No it's through the leg and it was crying like a little baby. That line is worth it! Where?! It's crying like a little baby this is an 11 year old shooting some guy saying he's crying like a baby. Just stop just stop just stop.

1:55:29 What where did this take place? Alabama. Alabama, I gotta hear that again That was good when we hear that kid again. I went straight to the bag and hit him in his leg He started crying like an old baby Full metal jacket Really what kind of kid cries when you see when your shot in the leg man up it wasn't a kid It was an intruder Even better. But the kid's gloating over this. I shot it. Put this kid in that woman's class! Great combo. Well then, I have another one for you. This kid should meet her. Sally Cohn is one of my favorite commentators on CNN. Sally Cohn

1:56:24 K-O-H-N. We had an argument, I thought she was lesbian for sure and you said maybe she wasn't? You know what i'm talking about Sally Cohn Yeah, she's a... did you find out if she is lesbian or not? No. She hates men but I don't know if she's lesbian here. Shes still the most qualified candidate running period number one and number two If we're gonna go there fine look people are only voting for Donald Trump Most of his supporters are only voting for him because he's a white guy and frankly They're only voting for him because it's a white guy racist much very

1:57:13 gender and race. Let's talk about gender and race, but let's really talk about the policies that these candidates support. She is the best candidate for women and for men, for white voters, for voters of color. That is what people are deciding on. That is why they're supporting her. And she's a woman? Thank God it's time we need a president. Wait wait wait wait you stepped on the last bit because I like the way she says it. You stepped out hold on. She's the best candidate for women and for men, for white voters, for voters of color That's what people are deciding on. That's why they're supporting her and she's a woman, thank God it's time we need president Thank god it's time. Do I dislike that man? I Disliked when the women say we need a woman but just give me a good for that Clearly not the best but chase don't like that Now you said about the emails so there's a couple of things one is this increasing in

1:58:07 information coming out and stuff that we've kind of already guessed would eventually start to happen with these emails. So if you follow the money trail of Hillary Clinton's email server, it was actually set up by Justin Cooper and Justin Cooper is like the number one advisor to Bill and he's an advisor at the Tenon Corporation this is the company that seems to be kind of like a backdoor for money coming into the Clinton Foundation and Umar Abedin worked there. There was that controversy if you recall, John? Where it's like how can you work there and work at the State Department at the same time

1:58:53 Oh, I can do it. But what happened is interest is Justin Cooper He was the guy who registered the domain name Clinton email calm but also President Clinton emailed or played president Clinton comm I think and so he's on the original internet registration documents And and so the servers were set up by the guy who got the immunity. And apparently, the legal bills are now in $100,000 and the Clintons are paying for it but this guy is the one that set it up and it makes so much sense because if you have Bill Clinton's email and Hillary's email on a server that you at least registered and you got the guy to set it up privately maybe it's kind of easy if you want to see what's going on both sides and where maybe some information might be interesting to have some money go back into The Clinton Foundation

1:59:46 But it would be a third party, so there's no direct contact. But yet the single server that housed both of these email accounts apparently... That is what the FBI supposedly is working on. Yeah well we'll see. Well and Jane Sanders was asked about this. I hope this was CNN. And all her answer is, you know, okay and stock. But she says a couple things that I hadn't noticed before and then went back and she does it constantly. Let's see if you recognize it. That's as far as you'll go the email thing... Even if the FBI were to raise a big deal about that then you'd think It's not your cup of tea. It's not the way you want to go No what we said right from the beginning You hear that? She says what WE SAID! She goes back and forth so say Bernie he said but she says who is this? This his wife

2:00:41 Who's wife? Bernie Sanders' wife. Jane Sanders, Bernie... Bernie Sanders! Okay okay I started over with that one so I didn't know that so I was not listening for the right thing That's alright I find it kind of odd she does it a couple times and she does it frequently We we we said who is who is we? So that's as far you'll go to be fair even if the FBI were to raise a big deal about that then you'd think It's not your cup of tea its not the way you want to go No, what we said right from the beginning. I mean he in... Right after the debate where you said enough of your damn emails He also said there's a process it's going forward It's an FBI investigation We want to let it go through without politicizing and then find out what the situation is And that's how we still feel I mean would be nice if the FBI moved along but I don't know

2:01:36 It's a cis couple. Oh yeah, that makes sense. Urrrr! Urrrr couple! And then you probably saw... Did you have anything on the protesters at the Trump thing? A couple of things on the protesters. First of all there was actually a real protest going on in San Francisco and nobody gives a crap about this. This is an ongoing guy starving himself to death. Let's see where is that clip It is Trump. I got the Trump protests and then I got, where's this other one? Minor protests. Well there are protests...ignored it. Yeah minor protest this is the real protest these idiots they went over to protest the California Republican Convention but they're not Republicans what are they protesting but they went over there and meanwhile this is going on in San Francisco

2:02:31 A group of protesters have been on a hunger strike for nearly a week to protest police killings of unarmed African-American and Latino men. The activists have been occupying the sidewalk in front of the Mission Police Station, responsible for a number of the recent killings. They want San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee to fire San Francisco Police Chief Greg Sewer or resign himself. To see our coverage of the San Francisco police killings of Alex Nieto and Luis Gangora Okay. Yeah, of course no one cares about that. Nobody knows about it now who cares?

2:03:09 Something may make a difference. So here's the Trump protests as reported on ABC. Tonight we begin with that extraordinary sight Donald Trump forced to hike around a giant crowd of protesters to go through the back door at an event outside San Francisco this was the scene outside a Bay Area hotel police holding back hundreds of protesters but they broke through the barricades surging toward the entrance forcing Trump and his motorcade to go around And all of this playing out as helicopters hovered above. You can see Trump there jumping down a step, climbing up the grass to the back door ABC's Cecilia Vega leading us off. Tonight throngs of angry protesters in San Francisco blocking roads knocking down barricades flashing with police and riot gear. Hey wait a minute I hear this kid going

2:04:03 It's like a lot of sweet thing going like I think it was like that on a roller coaster Cecilia Vega leading us off tonight throngs of angry protesters in San Francisco blocking roads knocking down barricades Clashing with police in riot gear. And when Donald Trump's jet touched down, the crowd was ready. ABC's Josh Haspel right there. Protesters outside the Hyatt Regency trying to use whatever entrance they can to get inside and stop Donald Trump from speaking here The Republican frontrunner forced to take a detour. Watch as Trump leaves his motorcade surrounded by Secret Service, jumping down from a walkway crossing a grassy median on foot to get into the hotel. We went under a fence and through a fence...

2:04:53 Oh boy, it felt like I was crossing the border actually. At his rally overnight protesters jumping on cars driving donuts nearly 20 arrests but the Trump show out west a marked contrast to the campaign in Indiana. I think that's what Jane means when she says we I guess, but these people all had Mexican flags which i thought was this all about? No not all of them. They had the hands up don't shoot black lives matter it was all there John everything well they had a lot of mexican flag and meanwhile the protest in San Francisco actually does affect the Latino community in san francisco nobody's there now these are paid protesters like ten people that these are paid protesters these protesters are paid this is what did this is what your college kid

2:05:40 This is a possible avenue for college kids. Yeah, I could just become a protester. Soros got the money professional protester and i love this clip. Yes professional protesters it's disgusting. Professional victim... What? Play this clip. U.S students dumber than ever The latest nation's report card shows high school seniors are losing ground the US Department of Education reports that average math scores dropped last year for the first time since assessments began in 1992 Reading scores were flat, but they've dropped five points since 1992 as a result only 37% of all seniors were judged college ready in math and reading

2:06:23 Yeah, I don't think it's unique to the United States. Common Core is a scam! I don't think it's unique to the United States. Let's play this then. Can I just play one bit from the protesters? This is a follow-up to that clip you gotta play this and then you got it. Whatever, I'm good. Kimmel man on the street. Always a winner what is this display? They're asking two questions The first one is, how many Marvel characters can you name? And the second one is name the vice president. Name some presidents. Just a couple. Name as many Avengers as you can. Captain America, Thor, Hulk... Black Widow, Hawkeye

2:07:13 Uh, Scarlet Witch? Quicksilver? Iron Man. I think that's it! Is that it?! Okay! Name as many US presidents as you can. Grover Washington... Grover Washington Jr.? Yeah the musician. Just the two of us baby we can make if we try Yeah, it's Los Angeles. That makes sense and they had one person after another until they finally got to a woman who knew all the presidents. Yeah well she didn't know any Marvel characters. Chill chill chill for the bit. So this is a protester interviewed by MSNBC

2:08:03 And she's in her Black Lives Matter hands up don't shoot t-shirt. At this point Trump is already inside but she doesn't know it now you're not going to be able to see the expression on your face, but the pause just imagine her jaw going... What? What?! What! I feel like rushing over the barriers and heading towards the entrance. I think, uh...I'll do the sound effect so you know exactly where it is. Feel like rushing over the barriers and heading towards the entrance of a convention is the right way to approach this. I think that we should be interrupting the convention and making sure that Donald Trump does not take stage today Do you plan to keep, uh, to keep protesting throughout the day as he comes in? We're not going to let him in. So we will protest as long as we need to ensure that he doesn't make the stage. Well I think he is in but um... But do you have plans for him to come out? I mean it's-do you plan to keep going throughout the day? We do plan to continue yes. All right. He's already inside! What?! What did she say at the very end? Oh well, um...I stepped on my own bit. Continue yes.

2:09:07 the very end she said. For him to come out, I mean do you plan to keep going throughout the day? We do plan to continue yes all right we do plan to continue but the idea was not let him take the stage what is this that's obstruction of incompetence protesters those are paid his page shills are no good How, what would be effective? I mean let's look at it from the other side for a moment. Because you know there are a lot of millennials out there who do not listen to our show obviously if you really want to be effective what can you do with Donald Trump if we were to strategize well what can we do to really undermine him

2:09:50 There's gotta be something. I think we should hire some professional protesters and have them do self-immolation around the whole thing, dump themselves with kerosene and light it up! John C. DeVore acts as lead of the day... I didn't mean to hit that one. It was that. That was that. I like that one. You know what you could do? Not a thing I have any ideas about. Well they don't either straight-up violence and load these people up with machine guns, and then that would probably end to the visit. But I don't know...I think it's just dumb to be honest about what difference does it make whether Trump goes in front of that stage of Republicans at a Republican convention and says anything? What difference does it make to these people?! No, I don't think it makes any difference to them they're just partying! They're just partying hey there's a rally you know used to be when you were in school

2:10:44 Hey, we got a bonfire. There's a rally tonight." You put on your Letterman jacket and you go out there in your T-Bird. Hey girls? Hang out right? Yeah! Convertible. Of course! Hey babe. What's up? Hey Rizzo. Wanna see my raccoon jacket?! You wanna go for a ride in the fliver? Wait a minute... what is the fliver?? Look it up. Okay, I will. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab On No Agenda In the morning I think you would be a great Knicky Knicky That's your role What is a knickey? Knicky! You never saw Grease?!

2:11:35 Actually, you know the funny thing is about that movie. I've never seen it. I've seen in the movie and the play even I have Not seeing to play either. I don't like movies that are kind of the play. I like to play I think there are different art forms And they should be kept separate well The movie isn't light its a musical but the movie isn't it is acted It isn't like the play You know what this is your homework? And then you look at Kaneki. I'm not gonna go watch grease come on Okay, I'll watch your canicky man. You're still good guys to have that I have a bunch of movies back to mean girls is the one I want to see everyone's agree wish you haven't seen Mean Girls No, I have not seen Mean Girls. Oh it was great Tina Fey is first like this movie. I don't know why but it reminds me of Lex and I was looking at his art collection Yeah, oh man so he has a warhol of Jagger And he says there's eight of these he says as eight of these I have seven

2:12:36 I said, let me guess. He's cornered the market on that one? There is one that he doesn't have and Mick has it! Mick has the eighth! And there are only four prints of The Beatles in the Cavern Club with a full picture not cut off but the full picture Only four prints were ever made and he has one of them. He's got an amazing collection Yeah those collections are worth millions Eventually. Well, he said the Warhols... He was buying prints you know back in the day for eight nine thousand dollars and now they're 35 some 50 This is crazy if you got anything real from Warhol like a not just to print It's it's up to a million insane soup cans and They're broke again hold on 214 214 Soup cans are you back?

2:13:39 Yeah, I'm back into you. Last words I heard were Warhol back in the day Okay so my last words for you are soup cans Yes what is a soup can worth nowadays? Well the print is up to 56 if you have all set then it's... The complete set is what you want But I had never really seen this Lichtensteins Oh my god! I think I am more in love with those Lichtenstein are very valuable And they're beautiful Now, brat-brat-brat pow wow all this action. Yeah yeah that's good stuff let's take a look at this yes I think we start off with the noise it's alright you can get noisy okay the Liechtensteins are probably worth 30 million dollars each really

2:14:32 Well, it's a bit. He's one piece sold that yeah holy crap record price for painting at the time they first sold using Tina and I got to go back and like you Tina you distract him And I'll cut I'll cut the Lichtenstein out You can probably just take it out of roll it up If I want he'd probably say I go take it home use it for a year or two That would be fine. He does that to all his friends except not to America because there's all kinds of... Oh, well... Crap man it's complicated. Yeah, it'd probably like smuggling or something. It is complicated. I would think that the Warhols are worth lots. I just don't know the price offhand but yeah this a multi-million dollar collection of good stuff. It was fun fun to look at.

This show is worth the price of admission of a movie or 12 and beyond! Popcorn suggested I am looking forward today's discussion of Euroland and the smug of the press corps To the girl from Yale from whom you read the note please don't give up hope

2:32:39 This is to Anna. I'm currently graduating from Brandeis, liberal among liberal schools and they made it out... what? What? What? I currently graduated in Brandeis Liberal and Made It Out with great friends stay away from the student government and tightly associated clubs They breed the hive mind with their current quest for ideological purity. Be respectful of teachers while making sure to remain unafraid to speak up, join clubs that don't involve the SJW crowd's opinions if they really ruin your class time you're wise to go down the sciences route

2:33:18 Above all, know that there are many many kids out there who think like us. Yes! Who are kept sane by no agenda and other independent outlets who would jump to know you exist too. Candidly if you haven't found them by junior year Yale may not be the best place for you although I would never begrudge you for keeping that Ivy League name attached Anyway, just a little note. I thought was good to read because it's a Yes We're proud of there's hope there's some hope Just so you know in case you have one for Next Sunday we do have a jingle for spot the spook a spot Spock everybody wants Nice nice Chad Tidemom

2:34:13 So you know we have that. It works, yeah I think it's okay Hey there was a bit of my... to music What do you want? Sorry nothing well but okay Elizabeth Borden Yeah but I'm gonna... Is that why he plays Spots? No no I'm going to skip here for a second iIm gonna go to Kirby if you don't mind These these booths I know State Department spokeshole My favorite We have an additional 250 boots on the ground, which we know we never said we wouldn't put boots on the ground. This is not really boots in the ground but it's people's feet and boots so we have troops in Syria. Question coming... I was thinking about that last thing you play when he's trying to get out of there. He would be the guy, Kirby would say like these aren't boots on the ground they're all wearing Nikes! No that's the other guys. You know a very valid question

2:35:13 Hey, you know how we just are we just throwing troops on the ground anywhere We want now can we just do that in any country? You want you know if we would admit a big deal about doing that in Iraq until We came and we kicked the other guy out who was being a pain-in-the-ass then the good new guy came in It's like oh yeah Please come and help us. Remember that Oh yeah, we didn't do that with Syria. Did we? On the deployment of US forces in Syria, Syrian foreign ministry has strongly condemned the deployment today and said this intervention is rejected and illegitimate it happened without the Syrian government's approval

2:35:52 And it's a blatant act of aggression that constitutes a dangerous intervention and the gross violation off serious sovereignty. The defense, the Iranian Defense Minister has said that the U. S decision to send more troops to Syria is a flagrant aggression too. Any any comment on that? Well He's right. We didn't seek the Syrian Government's approval before making this decision, and I find it at the height of irony to call this a blatant act of aggression when they continue to gas and barrel bomb their own people in a reportedly now bombing hospital in Aleppo. That

2:36:32 And those are blatant acts of aggression against our own people, their own citizens. This is and I'll say it again as I've said several times today this is a an additional increase in special operations forces that will be doing advise and assist missions to help those fighters who are going against Daesh become more effective in the field. That's it, that's their job. QUESTIONS AND RESPONSE TO IRAN'S DEFENSE MINISTER STATEMENT QUESTIONER 2 What about Iran? QUESTIONS AND RESPONSE TO IRAN'S DEFENSE MINISTER STATEMENT Iran defense minister has said the same thing and he – MR KIRBY Well why would my answer be any different to Iran if they said the same thing? QUESTIONS AND RESPONSE TO IRAN'S DEFENSE MINISTER STATEMENT So it doesn't say anything about Iran you said about the regime

2:37:12 MR KIRBY Well – yeah, but it still stands. I mean the – I don't know why my answer would be here. QUESTIONER Iranians forces in Syria? MR KIRBY That assessment — QUESTIONER Yeah. MR KIRBY You're saying that Iran defense minister said it was a blatant act of aggression for us to put special operations force there? QUESTIONER Exactly. Yes. MR KIRBY Well, my answer would be the same. It's not. It's not. QUESTIONER Is it a breach of sovereignty though? Is it a breach of Syrian sovereignty as you recognize that sovereignty? MR KIRBY This is a – we have had this discussion so many times, Said. He's, this is a really key question. Have we had this discussion so many times about sovereignty of other nations? It sounds exasperated! Oh, we've gone over the top... We are allowed to invade other countries don't you know this?! Isn't it a breach of sovereignty though? Is it a breach of Syrian sovereignty as you recognize that sovereignty? This is a- we have had this discussion so many times Saeed

2:38:12 We have The president has the authorities he needs to go after Dash and that's what this is And this is part of a coalition effort. We're not the only ones involved in this fight there are 66 other nations Yeah, so I decided to Go and to see if I can figure out a little bit about, you know what exactly is the permission? How...what under what ruling how is this okay. Do we need an act of Congress? What are we doing? This is more than just a couple of dudes hanging out now it's becoming more and more It seems like we're breaching sovereignty Senator Wicker was questioning General Dunford about this very issue. General Dunford as chairman

2:38:57 Wiker this is a I think it's wicker wicker. Okay, thank you wicker Yeah general Dunford as chairman McCain just pointed out most of the fatalities and civilian casualties in Syria are caused by Bashar Assad's barrel bombs and air attacks do you agree that we have the capability to take out Assad's Air Force? I do, Senator. And why have we not done so? We have not declared war on the Syrian regime, Senator. You're not saying it would take a congressional declaration of war to take that action?

2:39:38 I think it would take the president directing us to do that, Senator. Okay so the...I wonder why the President has not directed us to prevent these civilian fatalities and casualties by taking out Assad's Air Force? The task he's given us militarily is against ISIL, Senator What would be your recommendation in that regard Specifically as to whether attack the regime or not. As to whether we should take out the Air Force that is causing the majority of civilian fatalities and casualties? Yeah, Senator I'd prefer not to give that recommendation in public That's a policy recommendation if i was going to provide it then I would have provided it to the President in private The point is how are really there what are doing? Have we declared war? Are we gonna declare war? What are we gonna do about this Who's that idiot who was asking questions? Weicker

2:40:27 That was Weicker. Now, by the highest I could get, the Secretary of Defense Ash Carter and now he is finally going to explain about the authorized use of military force. There we go! And what and why he wanted that when he didn't get it, and how we can still be there. But what I struggle with is how can we criticize the Russian incursion into Ukrainian sovereignty? When we are carrying out now escalating military operations in Syria without the permission and really even against the will of the sovereign event nation. That's a kind of good question! I like that kinda comparison. Ah, that's a great question How does that work?!

2:41:25 I am correct, am i not? That Syria has not invited us to conduct military operations within the nation of Syria. You're- you're correct and just uh... Uh address a couple of points that you've made first of all I want to hasten to say I'm no lawyer um but Oh boy whoa whoa he's the secretary of defense The guy in charge of the war apparatus Just so you know I'm no lawyer You can understand why that got my attention. But we do have lawyers, with respect to the AUMF authorization for the use of military force I agree with you i testified in favor of there being such an AUMF importantly because it would signify to the troops that the country's behind them now how about that?

2:42:18 No one ever, I don't think they ever sold it that way. Say let us go kick some ass officially because the boys and girls out there... They're a little confused! Hey, wait a minute. What are we doing? Do we have...do we declare war but what are supposed to do it? Are you allowed to go something and can't show a piece of paper so we know it's real?" We see now confusion illegal orders all kinds of things that happening with this confusing chain of command and apparently the Secretary of Defense is a problem because he's not a lawyer but he's got lawyers Let's continue. I gotta play that again

2:43:15 I believe the lawyers tell me that everything we're doing is all justified according to our law and international law. It's to the region, attests to that so i think they feel that but that would have been another way of attesting uh to that. I am told by the lawyers and I believe this that the legal basis for what we're doing exists in both domestic law and international law for everything we're doing. But again, I'm not the expert on that and couldn't explain to you the ins and outs of it. You know... Hey parents! Your kids are going off there. Kim will explain why we can do it or whatever but just trust me, the lawyer said its okay This guy is a dick Dick, dick, dick We'll say that uh The um

2:44:03 If there's a difference between what we're doing in Syria and what the Russians did in Ukraine, we're trying to fight real terrorists. We're not trying to destabilize a stable situation So we're trying to reach. Every word is Assad has to go, he has to go but we're not trying to destabilize anything really I mean no that's Assad must go! The Russians were the victims of the Kagan's We are the ones who destabilized Ukraine or Ukraine not the Ukraine. Ukraine yeah. We destabilized it And to say we're not trying to do it. We're not trying to destabilize any, were fighting terrorism! Assad must go! If there's a difference between what we are doing in Syria and what the Russians did in Ukraine...we are trying to fight real terrorists. Real? Not trying to destabilize a stable situation. A stable situation?! Unlike Libya that was perfectly stable situation. Turn order and decency, not the other way around

2:45:05 Let me roll that back one. It's almost over last few minutes. This is great situation So we're trying to return order and decency not the other way around so I don't know what a lawyer would say but as a Common-sense answer is oh, but I don't know what a lawyer would say But no we were fighting real terrorists. We're just gonna destabilize anything damn it Lost him right in my clip of the day 240 sticks yes every 30 minutes

2:45:47 Amazing. Okay, come on back boys! Come on back...come on back! Got something back Not everybody's back What happened? That was weird That's connected Why is this one not connected? C'mon c'mon c'moooon Okay we're back We should just connect in a moment Yep John disconnected I'll get him back now Kay Ow ow ow hold up

2:46:53 Hold on. 30 minutes exactly! Yeah, what the fuck is that bullshit? I don't know... It's really- It's like some government thing. Hold on. Let me see if we can get this stream going again. 30 minutes. It's almost to the T. Come on. Here we go. Try it again. Okay. So I believe we left off where you were going to give me Clip of The Day No, no. Nice try. Come on! Borderline Clip of the Day. I'll take a borderline clip of the day. I had to hold wind up but followed the trail... No clip of the day?

2:47:50 I can't say for sure why it's not a clip of the day, but it just lacked...I think it lacked energy. Okay well let me try this one. Let me try this one. It wasn't that surprising. Come on! The whole lawyer bit was pretty funny Yeah it was okay. It was funny to a point but it was borderline Elizabeth Warren did one of those come in and talk before the empty Senate deals? Oh, the bullshit thing. That was invented largely by Newt Gingrich No really? I didn't know that Yeah he's the one who first utilized the idea of talking late at night to an empty audience and letting it stream on C-SPAN

2:48:29 And he kind of invented the idea. Well, she takes advantage of it and she was doing a rant about Dodd-Frank and... Of course we know and I think Jim Briney also did a whole piece on the amendment that pretty much threw out the whole notion of taxpayers not being on the hook for derivatives where if derivatives felt there was another crisis And she speaks, not that I have the... just a short bit of the clip just for the funny bit. She speaks about $10 trillion worth of derivatives that are now federally insured and that 10 trillion dollars is from three banks and that's you know derivatives so it's basically its insurance but its from the three. It's Chase City and was Bank Of America? Is that it or JP Morgan?

2:49:21 What? It might, I don't know. I don't know if it's JP Morgan or Bank of America. Sounds more like AP Morgan. Yeah but it's three guys and there are three banks and so she's talking about that and how is a travesty we're all gonna die that's pretty much what she's saying well you know but she has to explain to people what this...what we're going through again she's trying to explain how derivatives are dangerous Man, she would be great as a president. I'm sad she's not running one day. I guess she has no more chance to... The problem I see with her is the President is that she's a big talker and I get this from when she came on the floor of the...I guess because she was a senator

2:50:03 She comes out and she goes on about the robocalls. Yeah, and then she plays one you know where I am so-and-so you know Robo caller this is they've never been stopped just now they got these guys calling for they claim to be with the IRS I got another one of those calls by the way just didn't follow up and get a recording yeah it's slightly different Indian Anyway, but the reason why I think she'd be fun as a president because we get lots of great sound bites and clips from her cause she's crazy. Mr President eight years ago we suffered through the worst financial crisis in generations millions of people lost their homes, their jobs, their savings and although the economy has improved under President Obama's leadership many of those families are still struggling to recover today terrible subprime mortgages were at the heart of this crisis

2:50:53 But Wall Street invented other new financial devices, including exotic derivatives that piled risks on top of risks in the financial market. The subprime mortgages were like hand grenades but the derivatives packed them together and magnified the risk turning them into giant bombs that blew up parts of an economy. The hope is that the lights will be back on by then Hand grenades. Did you sweeten that clip? Of course I did! No, she had explosions in the Senate John it was fantastic. Hand grenades package and they blew up the economy Thank you. Yeah thank you You're welcome yeah thank you

2:51:43 Alright, play us out John and I'll do your special request. Well, I can't wait! I'm gonna do a few clips. I wanna do a little clip blitz because this is hard when... These are clips that are specific to the local news that you're not listening too. The News It's. This is my opportunity to catch up with everything back home. This is your opportunity to catch up? I have one two three let me just go four. Oh my goodness another one. Hold on a second. Alright John, what's your first clip in the Cliplets? Reagan movie. Reagan movie! Cliplets! Will Ferrell is set to play former President Ronald Reagan in a movie and they're

2:52:25 Few people not happy about it. Farrell will portray the 40th president in Reagan, a comedy about a White House intern who must convince a dementia-stricken Reagan that he's an actor playing the president in a movie. In an open letter to Farrell on her website, Reagan's daughter Patty Davis asks the actor why he thinks Alzheimer's is suitable material for a comedy. His son Michael Reagan posted on Twitter What an outrage. Alzheimer's is not a joke, it kills! You should be ashamed all of you." Will Ferrell who is also producing Reagan has yet to comment. Let's go to Screwball Twists to the San Bernardino killings. Breaking news tonight from California, arrests stemming from the investigation into the terror attack in San Bernardino The brother of the shooter Syed Farouk and his wife and another woman accused of a marriage scheme To allow one of the women who is from Russia to stay here in the US

2:53:24 Here's ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross now. Today's new criminal charges grow out of the massive investigation, the San Bernardino terror attack that killed 14 people. Anybody who had any connection to the husband-wife team of attackers, Syed Farooq and his Pakistani wife was put under tight scrutiny for any possible wrongdoing In February, FBI agents raided the family home removing files and documents leading to the arrest today of three members of Farouk's family. Farouk's brother Raheel, a decorated US Navy veteran, Raheel's wife Tatiana Wow! And Tatiana's sister Maria all charged with marriage fraud scam to get a green card for Maria

2:54:09 who is a Russian citizen. The illegal immigration activities of these individuals never would have been discovered were it not for their involvement with the San Bernardino attackers But when the FBI arrested Farouk's best friend Enrique Marquez for providing the guns used in the attack, Agency Marquez admitted he was being paid to go through with a sham marriage with Maria, the other Russian sister Authorities thought Maria was living with a man in Los Angeles who she said was the father her child and not Marquez David the government provided no evidence today that any of these three were involved in the actual attack and San Bernardino or knew about it in advance right Brian Ross on this case from the start Brian.
