About this episode

The State Department admitted to intentionally editing a 2013 press briefing video to scrub footage of Jen Psaki answering questions about secret negotiations with Iran. Officials initially blamed a technical glitch for the missing three minutes involving Fox News reporter James Rosen, but later confirmed the use of a white flash transition to hide testimony that contradicted the administration's public timeline of the nuclear deal.

In Austin, voters rejected Proposition 1, prompting Uber and Lyft to suspend operations over mandatory fingerprint background checks. Facebook curators in Menlo Park reportedly used injection tools to artificially inflate or suppress news topics, while FBI Director James Comey confirmed a formal investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Columbia School of Broadcasting and Early Radio Careers

The hosts discuss their early experiences in radio and broadcasting education. One host clarifies he graduated from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, not the Columbia School of Broadcasting, which was a separate entity in the 1970s. They recount early experiences at K Foothill College's low-watt FM station and the production of original radio plays.

00:00 Hello Donald, this is Vlad. Listen... listen! Struggling in the rain, sticks shaking aftermath of broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state. A few region 6 here in Austin Tejas In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and we're in northern Silicon Valley where apparently recyclables are now a problem. I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill Yeah everything is a problem today man you sound muffled talk to me I do? A little bit yeah you were sounding great in the pre-stream and then all sudden

00:43 Were you not looking into the microphone? Looking. Yeah, you gotta look into it yeah really look at that microphone when you talk Look there's a round thing inside It's a little trick we picked up in the academy I'll give you more high end or something We used to have this thing out here called Columbia School of Broadcasting I am a graduate of the Columbia School of Broadcasting No! I'm sorry The Connecticut School of Broadcasting Oh that's different That's very different What was the Columbia School of Broadcasting? I have no idea. Some guy out here who was a big time jock of some sort, and he maybe was a station manager, decided to start this school. Yeah. I think...I don't know. This is like in the 70's, I guess.

01:27 Right. And are you a graduate? No, of course not God no okay good Yeah, man so I went to it. I went to K Foothill College for one semester or two semesters and took two semesters of broadcasting In school and then he had a live station So we you know was was it like a 1010 watt like a ten watt FM station or something yeah It was something like that by maybe more than ten watts it was enough that you could hear it It had pretty good has it well Chris is sitting right on the water, so it's a pretty good range Yeah But how much was the boy that was FM yeah and what did you use John C?

CHAPTER 02 / 32 Discussion

Austin Prop 1 Defeat and Uber Lyft Data Disputes

Austin voters rejected Proposition 1, leading Uber and Lyft to suspend operations within city limits due to mandatory fingerprint background checks. The discussion posits that the conflict is actually centered on ride-sharing companies' refusal to share granular passenger data with the City of Austin. Comparisons are made to data mining practices at American Express and the high valuation of user data over transportation revenue.

austin· uber· lyft· prop 1· ride-sharing· data mining· fingerprinting

03:06 Hey, let me start right off with a local report John with a little bit more information because after our show on Sunday I did a really deep dive of course have been out of the country so i hadn't had an opportunity to do that for sunday which would have been more appropriate but just following up on our big local news story in Austin Tejas. A massive nine million dollar ad campaign could not sway Austin voters they shot down prop one yesterday by more than 10 points 12 points to be exact forcing ride-sharing companies to get fingerprint background checks Uber and Lyft both say they will now stop operations as of tomorrow morning in Austin. Now, Uber says they'll keep operating in Austin suburbs but not come into the city that would rule out rides to the airport because that is within the city limits." Okay so it didn't take me very long to get to the absolute bottom of this and no surprise It is of course we already knew wasn't about fingerprinting This has been debunked But there's your local news doing their job reading the press release for the city

04:04 This dispute has been ongoing. It happened in New York, it happened in San Antonio, it is happening now...it happened before in Houston and is happening again in Houston and its a provision in the ordinance that Uber gave into in Houston is now trying to renegotiate that a year later they did have a deal they wanted too with New York because what the city of Austin was requesting that was the grievance for Uber and Lyft, was all of their ride data. This is what the problem was in Houston they... I'm just talking about Uber now wanted to be in that market so badly this okay for a year we're gonna give you all our data and now they're renegotiating because they have sold that data to New York City And the city says, our city here in Austin says- Wait stop back up

05:00 Houston sold the data to New York? No, no. Uber sold their data to New York that was...that's the kind of deals they want to do and they've sold their data to Visa and MasterCard this is what they really are this is not about transportation I think they could give a crap about the transportation angle it's about their data would you have any idea what uber knows about me? Me?! Yeah And they wanted to give that to the city and the city fairly they say well we would love to have this data Because, you know we have traffic problems and you have such great data about traffic flows and people flows individuals and groups of people. Which of course... You can buy the data from Visa and American Express and you can see exactly what kind of person is driving as a passenger in the car. Austin did not want to pay for that.

05:49 That is what it's about. And as I was going through this researching, Austin has hired... The city of Austin hired 23 data scientists in the past year so they were ready to grab all that data Uber just wants to sell it. It sounds again like this data is the solution everything Yeah which is why Amazon keeps advertising products to me which I just bought Right and they're probably the top data miner They are supposed to be good at it So, it's built on somewhat of a false premise. But I understand Uber and Lyft not wanting to just give that to the city. That was the provision they had to give that data to the city and that's what they said no we're not going to do it. No one has reported on this! They haven't even reported on the 1% of gross fees which are required to pay under the regulation

06:44 It's just astounding, that the city of Austin can't even... not one person. I got into two Ubers of course you know we did our last Uber rides Sunday night going out to dinner which needs to be discussed Yeah. And, uh, and you know, I'm talking to both the drivers like, oh yeah, this is all about the data they knew. And they, and this is where I learned about San Antonio where they did this with the other argument about the data that not want to share their data. And I understand that it truly is the business of these rides. Let's call them ride share companies. I like to call him depression job apps. Well, I don't know if it's entire business by we'll say it's definitely a profit center

07:24 I think it's, if you look at statements from 2013-2014 Uber about their data they were building up their valuation because of what the value that the perceived value of the data they have on drivers and riders alike. That's what that 40 billion valuation was about They still had...they're not making money as far as i know they're losing money So what supposed to go on with this data? Before you answer that, I will say something. I was at an event some years back when the CEO of American Express was talking about something and he said... And that's when he discussed which we've talked about on the show. In fact, we talked about this whole thing on the show but what we talk about it on the show where that's where American Express comes up with all these algorithms that will for example, I'll say it again, I think we said in number year ago if you go to a gas station

08:26 and get two tanks of gas, one after the other. Like you bring somebody with you and then you fill up your tank put the thing back, fill somebody else's tank but put the thing back then you go to a shoe store like some Nikes. Boom! Car gets blocked. It's blocked immediately Yeah it's 2 tanks of gas in Nikes that'll do it And we've had people on this show who listen to this show do that experiment And they found it, the card got killed. But I wonder if it also... Well let me finish. The guy who is American Express CEO comes out and he says we have so much data on people we don't use against them but we could profile anybody that's a card user or we could tell you who they're having affairs with everything.

09:16 So you marry that with the movement of these card owners, now you're talking. Now you're really talking. This guy's trouble! Yeah so... But, you know... I was listening to some of the tech-horny news shows over the weekend. And of course this was discussed by everybody but it really was more about fingerprinting and no one has done anything! It's not that hard! You gotta think that the local press in Austin is all in or just stupid!! Or just reading press releases. Lazy is the word. Lazy? Well, yeah lazy but it's institutionalized laziness It's like what's the point so I find out a little bit more maybe you know it's kind of sexist Why bother? Eh why bother? It's not worth the trouble hey do you want to go get a beer Oh yeah your right Okay well in the same vein let's listen to this clip Twitter and The CIA

CHAPTER 04 / 32 Discussion

State Department Video Alteration and Iran Negotiation Lies

The U.S. State Department admitted to intentionally editing a 2013 press briefing video to remove footage of Jen Psaki answering questions about secret negotiations with Iran. Officials initially blamed a "glitch" for the missing three minutes, which featured Fox News reporter James Rosen. The edit utilized a "white flash" transition to hide the removal of testimony that contradicted the administration's public timeline of the nuclear talks.

state department· jen psaki· iran nuclear deal· james rosen· video editing· white flash· transparency

19:20 Meanwhile, that story neatly obfuscates another story which should have been getting a lot more traction. It got... definitely got some but you're not hearing people they don't understand what's going on this is the missing three and a half minutes from an archival footage of Victoria Newland lying even better it was actually Jen Psaki lying about Victoria Newland who lied that she said when, when she said that the US had not had any secret negotiations with Iran before the February deal. And it turns out as we now know that there were secret negotiations going back to 2011 and if you look at that videotape of that one particular State Department news briefing which they do daily all of a sudden there's a white flash when that question comes up then you know what like which we see a lot in this

20:12 It's kind of a standard video editing trick, certainly propagated on the web. If you can't really get out easily if you don't have another shot to cover the edit just do a white flash! And blind them! Yeah and this is exactly what happened only a few weeks ago when Francois Hollande was meeting with President Obama and he said Islamic terrorism and that was...the audio was cut out just cut they just cut the audio with all kinds of plops and clicks And this is, of course was intentional. I mean a white flash does not happen there's an...I've never seen the video anomaly have been around video long time both analog and digital and digital man which was my mind at and digital and you just don't that just doesn't happen get all kinds of artifacts but you're not going to get a full-on white flash so this came up in the State Department Matt asked the question I'm a little disappointed by Mat

21:11 Because there's two obvious points in here where he should have just said, what are you saying? What are you talking about as this came up and the stand-in for Kirby today was Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau. Now didn't we look into her? Isn't she either related to the Kennedys and Justin Trudeau or both I don't know. I don't remember She doesn't have a Wikipedia page That's crap. I forgot the book of knowledge man Well listen to her trying to get through Matt's question, and then if you're interested I have of course the missing video Audio of the missing video tape these three minutes that were edited out here's Matt our favorite AP reporter this report that the video of briefing from a couple years back with

22:02 Jen Psaki was edited to remove questions and her answers about when the Iran negotiations began. What's going on here? Yeah, so we saw that report – we actually spoke to Fox about this yesterday, so thanks for that question. Thanks for that question! I'd back up. Oh, back up because i got ahead of myself! This is a daily press briefing from 2013 the transcript of that daily press briefing and video was always available transcript was on state.gov this is exactly what they said about the previous time this happened

22:42 Oh, but the transcript was there. But you know just the video just got messed up. Sorry. Video was available on other sites There was a glitch in the State Department video when Fox flagged it for us we actually replaced it with a video from Divvids which... Now when you are a reporter and someone says this happened because of a glitch and you're actually in the televised news business I would say you have to say, what do you mean? He's not in the televised news business. Well, yeah. He's in the written news business you're right he's just being televised well He did he did ask a question is the military repository where a lot of news media gets its video The whole video was there and we also annotated it on our YouTube channel Yeah, but that I mean a glitch this just seems awfully strange and coincidental Okay Matt Lee Matthew Lee Matthew Lee It is no longer acceptable

23:45 as a journalist, to even consider the word glitch an explanation for anything. If you cannot drill down at least one layer deeper and say do you mean a...an error? A software bug? Uh..a hard drive crash? Anything but glitch! Why-why do reporters even good ones like Matt Lee Just accept that, even though he's saying well it was coincidental but he didn't even ask what the glitch is and it gets worse with this woman. It was always up though? And the video existed on other channels I can't speak to... If you were looking on the state.gov website and going to try to watch that part of briefing it wouldn't have been there

24:30 So the briefing was there, as I said. The full transcript was there. Several minutes were like missing. No and so we have subbed it out. But can you... has anyone looking into or why? We're looking into it genuinely. Genuinely! Wow when you're lying that's the thing to do genuinely Isn't that kind of a tell, John? When someone does something like that. Do you think this has anything to do with the Hillary Clinton rumored plane crash? Yes! Thank you That was going to be my punchline but yes, of course This is very important and she says... Leapfrogged the punch line It's okay We're looking into it genuinely we think it was a glitch I mean are there other... We're looking into it genuinely we think it was a glitch

25:19 I'm sorry, in what universe does a journalist not question glitch? Have we even looked at the definition of glitch? Let me ask. Book of Knowledge. Definition of Glitch. The term glitch means a fault or defect in a computer program system or machine Okay, no it doesn't. No of course not This is a bad definition Remember this is a computer telling you what it is I mean are there other videos that are not to our knowledge at all But you know we're taking a look at its process You know if we were unaware and as soon as we found out about it We made sure was whole but is there any indication that you've since you'd since this would brought to your attention? I guess yesterday

26:03 Yeah. Have you discovered that it was altered at all? Not to my knowledge, there was a missing portion of it we pulled from another online source... Meaning they didn't have the originals anymore I'm trying to figure out how exactly the portion You know what its something were looking into Oh Videos It is We've changed our procedures and this so technical forgive me for this Okay right there We've changed our procedures, and this is so technical please forgive me. She goes on to explain absolutely nothing but they have a backstory And I don't know if they changed the procedures after this glitch took place or if the change of procedure was a reason for it It sounds like hey next time we tell you to rip something out of the video Don't use a white flash you dick! Cause that's what happened-I can see it happening

26:57 Like it comes down. Uh, yeah we got a call from state We gotta edit one of those videos Okay what do we do? Well talk to the guys down at editing Okay what should we do? Somebody got fired So technical no its not It's not technical, I can figure it out. F you lady for saying that. Forgive me for this we've changed our procedures on that but we are taking a look at it. You know certainly... We're gonna edit differently Yeah! We're never going to do white flash edit ever again and will change them. We should probably get rid of the transcripts too Procedures on that but we are taking a look at it. You know certainly transparency and getting information to you guys not only here in the briefing room but on the web and searchable is a priority Oh its a priority

CHAPTER 05 / 32 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Oman Plane Crash Conspiracy Theory

A theory is proposed linking the State Department's video censorship to a rumored 2011 aviation incident involving Hillary Clinton in Oman. The discussion suggests that the edited footage of James Rosen's questioning might have contained clues regarding a secret meeting or a covered-up plane crash. The hosts call on "producers" to investigate flight records and military archives for evidence of a 2011 runway incursion.

hillary clinton· oman· plane crash· james rosen· state department· aviation incident

27:47 It's a priority. We can't always do it. Place the white flash with the camera falling over and then being upright. No, with a goatee just right in the middle of goatsy right in the middle. Do you want to hear the minutes that were lost? Yes, I would. I think everyone would. This is something that only the Noah Jims show... Where'd you get it? Well as she said divids that's the military archive and there was a full copy on there now those other copies floating around now of course. Hold on a second then why didn't they just use that copy to replace That's what she said. She said they got a copy and then replaced it or put the piece in, probably replaced it. Play the piece. All right so important to say this is James Rosen this is the guy who was arrested wasn't he arrested for being a spy from Fox News?

28:37 I don't remember this either. Oh, he was indicted? Yeah yeah for espionage and he was talking to some guy... Oh right that guy! Yeah! Yeah i think so. Maybe a coincidence, I don't know. He's from Fox News and so here he is asking Jen... Wasn't he from the New York Times originally? Thought it was always Fox News. No, I think there's some New York Times connection the whole honest thing this let's get stop the show Okay Well if we have to let me talk to the engine room again Takes longer every time to stop the show

29:19 I could just ask the book of knowledge if you want to know something. Yeah, well you should do that too but it's funny... Book of Knowledge! Wikipedia James Rosen. Read more? Yes read more! Shut up! Read over?! I leave for 12 days, she gets all bitchy on me. I don't know what's going on with that. All right? Did you figure it out? We'll deal with it later. It is not important. Okay so now with that in mind... With the possibility of a Hillary Clinton plane crash that she was involved

30:12 Keep one of her staffers keep that in mind on the 6th of February in this room I had a very brief exchange with your predecessor, but this is from 2013 this tape Toria Newland about Iran and With your indulgence. I will read it in its entirety for the purposes of the record and so you can respond to it Rosen There have been reports that intermittently and outside of the formal P5 plus one mechanisms, the Obama administration or members of it have conducted direct secret bilateral talks with Iran. Is that true or false? Newland We've made clear as the vice president did at Munich in the context of a larger p5 plus one framework we would be prepared to talk to Iran bilaterally but with regards to the kind of thing you're talking about on government level no That's the entirety of the exchange

31:04 As we now know, senior State Department officials had in fact been conducting direct secret bilateral talks with senior officials of the Iranian government in Oman perhaps dating back to 2011 by that point. So the question today is a simple one when the briefer was asked about those talks and flatly denied them from the podium that was untrue correct? I like his phraseology That is untrue, correct? I mean James... You're talking about a February briefing so ten months ago. Oh my gosh! I don't think we've outlined or confirmed contacts or specifics beyond a March meeting. Uh..I'm not going to confirm others beyond that at this point uh-huh So... Do you stand by the accuracy of what Ms. Newland told me

31:57 that there had been no government to government contacts, no secret direct bilateral talks with Iran as of the date of that briefing February 6th? Do you stand by the accuracy of that?" James I have no new information for you today on uh...the timing of when there were any discussions with any Iranian officials. Let me try one last way. Okay go for it. One more! Is it the policy of the state department- I love how she goes sure! You know I'm not going say anything but you can ask all you want are I don't see what's so damning about all this at the moment.

33:00 bilateral channel that fed into the P5 plus one negotiations. We've answered questions on it, we've confirmed details. We're happy to continue to do that but clearly this was an important component leading up to the agreement that was reached a week ago. Since you standing at that podium last week did confirm that there were such talks at least as far back as March of this year I don't see what would prohibit you from addressing directly this question. Were there secret direct bilateral talks between the United States and Iranian officials in 2011?

33:37 I don't have anything more for you today. We've long had a ways to speak with the Iranians through a range of channels, some of which you talked about. A channel? You mentioned. Ensign open a channel! But i don't have any other specifics for you today The Los Angeles Times and Politico have reported that those talks were held as far back as 2011 Were those reports inaccurate? I'm not sure which reports you're talking about. Are you talking about visits that the Secretary and others made to Oman or are you talking about other reports? I am talking about U.S officials meeting directly and secretly with Iranian officials in Oman as far back as 2011 The Los Angeles Times and Politico have reported those meetings Were those reports inaccurate? I have nothing more for you on it So, that had to be removed And there's only one reason in my mind why that needs to be removed now

34:28 And that is an obvious link between Hillary Clinton's health and something that happened probably in Oman when it comes to an aviation incident that she was in. There must be some way of getting some records of the plane crash because you just, plane crashes are always like reported investigated... You just don't have a plane crash It just disappears off the face of the earth. I mean, when it comes to military you know they can do anything they want Yeah but this is State Department, it's not like a military plane Well if anyone knows anything they will talk to us but it seems to me at 2011 crash in Oman which would have had at least one casualty it may have been an incursion on the runway and this

35:23 This is where we have no idea. But otherwise, why else? It's not that damning like a whoop-dee-doo but the secretary at the time was of course Hillary Clinton and she'd be the one because she loves traveling. Yeah, bracket those miles. Racking up miles. She's going to be floating around being a big shot and then she get into this wrecking God don't let this information get out now it's a coverup which is what always fails Well, we're gonna this guy's onto it. This guy's irked anyway, I mean that's a White House was on James Rose and their story after story about them spying on him in 2009 Yeah, I think there was something between him and Clinton and he was I think he's the one who discovered the missing three minutes hmm possible possible

36:14 I was just thinking, maybe...I should have done this. I don't know why I didn't but maybe there'll be something on one of the flyer talk forums about this? Let me just see real quick. Oman and 2011 let's see these guys report on everything search okay one result really one result oh no result all right the work needs to be done but we have enough people who are around in positions of being able to know this And it was probably reported as some military plane, something else. But if we can at least pinpoint a 2011 incursion in Oman then we're a step further so producers get on your ball! On your ball! Another scandal around Hillary. Well that is kind of coming down to close.

CHAPTER 06 / 32 Discussion

FBI Investigation of Hillary Clinton Email Server

FBI Director James Comey clarified that the bureau is conducting an investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server, rejecting the campaign's "security review" terminology. The segment covers Cheryl Mills walking out of a deposition and rumors that the Kremlin is debating whether to release 20,000 hacked emails. A satirical scenario is presented involving Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump discussing the leaked data.

fbi· james comey· hillary clinton· cheryl mills· email server· vladimir putin· kremlin

37:13 Now, if you've been watching any mainstream news media you've seen the... Hey! Hillary's calling it a security... What is she calling it? Security review. James Comey coming out and saying what no this is not a- What are you talking about I don't understand anything This is not a review In fact, here we have Fox News reporting on this. Well here's the thing The FBI director James Comey today said this to a pen and pad with reporters not on camera but on the record quote I don't know what that means We're conducting an investigation That's the Bureau's business That's what we do i'm not familiar with the term security inquiry Oh inquiry He went onto say or security review So basically whatever

38:05 Hillary Clinton calls it, it's still an investigation. Yes and its not complete and this is one of the reasons Bernie Sanders is still in the race so long as Clinton has this hanging over he wants to make sure the democratic voters have an alternative. i think the fbi is getting very frustrated, they are under some political pressure here to wrap things up quickly and leave her alone. as our colleague judge mahalitano was saying earlier today, you have to remember that the same group that investigated david petraeus is investigating hillary clinton. a lot of them think Clinton did things that are probably a lot more serious than Petraeus ever did, and they're looking at the punishment that he faced. I think—I think they're frustrated." So you mentioned Judge Napolitano there who I like a lot. We look on the show we like him in general for his analysis because it's always pretty broad and out there of what possibly could happen

39:01 Here, let me see. Before we play that and another quick 10 seconds here about something that apparently happened during some of these depositions with some of the actors involved. Comey doesn't like people making light of what his team of professionals are doing whatever comes out of this investigation he's annoyed and Cheryl Mills walkout not look good if it's just a security review why you walking out? Did you know about this Yeah, I did so she walked out. That's talk about optics what you know she's been in our conversation on and off for a while Oh yeah? Yeah, we thought whether the guy was gonna be the fall guy

39:40 But now it turns out maybe Sheryl, but for her to walk out and or at least that's someone leaked. I've had it with this questioning. I'm out! Listen to Napolitano the judge Napolitano really takes it all the way home It's a...It's something that causes closer and closer to a perfect storm for Mrs Clinton there is lot of moving parts Last week, her five closest aides were interviewed by the Department of Justice and the FBI. One of them reportedly said I don't remember, I don't remember, I don't remember red flag to the FBI next week Mrs Clinton will be interviewed by the FBI even though she told all kinds of reporters over the weekend i've never heard from

40:17 Of course she never heard from them. Her lawyer has heard from them. Next week, her closest aides will be giving a deposition and an examination under oath outside of the courtroom on the whereabouts of emails Now we find out tonight that the most significant of her staffers The guy she paid $5,000 to commit a felony to migrate her secret emails from a government server to an unsecured personal server. Her IT specialist, they can't find his emails and at the same time we learned there's a debate going on in the Kremlin between the foreign ministry and the intelligence services about whether or not they should release the 20 thousand

40:57 of Mrs. Clinton's emails that they have hacked into and received and stored all of this is happening at once Hello, Donald. This is Vlad listen listen I just tell them I have all the emails we hack them it's funny It's funny without him. We release then what do you think Donald? I can see it beautiful Yeah. I, that was Donald, I respect you! I can see those two guys becoming great friends. Great friends! George Bush became buddies with him. Hands across the border people. That's fantastic, I love this is very very funny. Then all of a sudden out on the talk show circuit on the uh let me see he showed up in a couple places CNN...I think CNN if i have

CHAPTER 07 / 32 Discussion

Sidney Blumenthal and Clinton Foundation Influence Peddling

Sidney Blumenthal's role as a consultant for the Clinton Foundation while advising Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Libya is examined. The discussion focuses on potential "pay-to-play" dynamics where foreign donations to the foundation allegedly influenced U.S. State Department policy. Reference is made to Muammar Gaddafi's 2009 visit to the United States and his tent being pitched on Donald Trump's estate.

sidney blumenthal· clinton foundation· libya· muammar gaddafi· benghazi committee· conflict of interest

41:44 Maybe missing that one, but I do have so Sydney Blumenthal is Intimately involved in this and we know from a lot of his emails some of the more confidential ones that he would be Sending advice to Hillary Clinton there were documents that went back and forth mainly as it pertains to Libya and Blumenthal was uh...I guess she's a lobbyist Is he officially a lobbyist? He may be consultant. I don't think he's a registered lobbyist, but what the implication is... He refused to talk to the FBI Well that's not exactly what he says. Well i have a clip But first when you're CNBC-I love these guys in the morning crew over there They nailed him right at- CNBC or MSNBC? CNBC so Joe what's his name

42:40 The lead guy in the morning, what's his name? Joe. When you hear him you'll know and nails the guy right in the beginning. You met with the FBI about the emails Well as I've said I can't comment on an ongoing investigation At least he called it an investigation so you're off the reservation there So it's not just a security review Because Comey yesterday said, I don't know what that is. The word investigate is in FBI Federal Bureau of Investigation this isn't investigation so we cleared that up. Now, the implication is that as he was working with a full-time job for the Clinton Foundation... ...He would be sending Hillary Clinton emails with intel saying hey you know beautiful actually Gaddafi is going to use all his gold to create the Gold Dinar.

43:36 And this is something that Hillary Clinton then passed around and said, oh we got to do something about this. We've got to talk and really what was happening is the French were afraid of this at the time it was Sarkozy and he had an election coming up so I really wanted to start bombing Libya He had a bad background you know like bad optics with Gaddafi Of course everyone's been in photographed with Gaddafi at The Tent Everybody! Clinton... Tony Blair... Trump Didn't Trump have Gaddafi pitch his tent in his backyard? Was it Gaddafi who pitched the tent? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Pretty sure. Could be could be. Well he had all this extra property. You can set up shop here because apparently Gaddafi needed to be in a tent. Here, Muammar Gaddafi's tent finds home on Donald Trump's estate September 22nd 2009 yeah

44:27 And there's pictures. Remember he had all those hot bodyguards? All the hot chicks? Right, the hot nurses! They were not nurses no they were dressed in uniforms I thought there was a... oh that's right That's right i thought he had some hot nurses too but that may have been somebody else His uh his body guards yeah the hot body guards Yeah let me see uh I gotta look at those pictures again Yeah, all those women. Very nice! Okay so everybody had bad optics there but the implication is look if you something need to happen in Libya and then hey Hillary here's what's going on in Libya and then you get a big donation from the Clinton Foundation which according to the mourning team here gee how silly... A Clinton foundation donation or the other way around? No from no there would be a donation in this case maybe from France or French

45:18 NGO, something into the Clinton Foundation. Yes. Yeah you said from... I made a mistake. Into the Clinton Foundation and that would then of course be the incentive to change or to adjust or to implement new policy Here he is. stunned.

46:22 Second I came out, I said that I wanted it to be public. On the question of so-called clients... ...I had no contracts with anybody and didn't invest in anybody No one made a nickel No one spent a penny And I had a real job at the Clinton Foundation working on educational projects That was a separate matter All these were clarified You weren't getting paid by Libya? No. But should we think that at that time maybe there was ever influence in state department affairs that were influenced by donations to the Clinton Foundation? I don't know whether we've totally vetted, whether it certainly has the aura of perhaps or something untoward going on, or at least certain people think that. This is bullcrap you know! The way this works

47:17 is that you, yeah you don't get paid by them. And the reason for that is because if somebody asks you directly are you being paid by the Libyans to say these things? You say no I'm not getting paid a nickel right after the whole thing is over it's always agreed upon then you can bill him for it after the fact yes very common to do that but it was well known and well published that Blumenthal was a consultant to Libyan interests previous to this. So, of course the payment and everything can come later and they know how to back themselves up He does say something at the end that's a there's something comes up with the very end here I think that report show that that there were not donations to the Clinton Foundation that had any influence on State Department policy

48:12 What reports? I don't think anyone's actually looked at that correlation deeply. You know, about the Benghazi committee...I've urged for the release of my transcript. I've always urged for it so i want to be completely public How would we know that donations wouldn't affect policy Yes! Now you're talking how would we know Of course wrong question how can you prove a negative? I mean- How would you know? Yeah Well, I think that there have been some examples that have been reported and in the Times and they have been debunked. In the Uranium... Debunked? Are you or the Clintons at all concerned about this film that's coming out in the next several days from Cannes a documentary about The Clintons and money

49:00 Don't know anything about that. Yes, he says I don't know anything about that There's no nothing about it witness the trailer for Clinton cash greetings from Washington I want to thank all of you for your work to root out corruption that weakens economic development, feeds black markets and organized crime. And undermines the promise of democracy. I believe in the oldest adage in American politics which is follow the money A new report today claims that The Clinton Foundation gives about 10% of its money that it raises to actual charities Enormous amounts of money have flowed into The Clintons

49:38 from foreign governments, foreign financiers and businesses. The Clinton Foundation dropping a self-imposed ban on collecting funds from foreign governments and entities You have a foreign corporation or a foreign government that wants something from the State Department while Hillary Clinton is Secretary of State They will make a large payment to the Clinton Foundation That will be followed by favorable action on their behalf They've created a model for massive self-enrichment that allows you to go into so called public service, but get extremely rich at the same time. Oh yeah! I gotta pay our bills

50:21 Before we had to worry about money from Wall Street and big labor. Now we have to worry about it coming from around the world and infecting our politics with the Clintons, nothing is sacred everything is for sale but we are the ones who are paying the price maybe just maybe the American people are tired of being sold out We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water, just send your cash. So that is the land of unconfirmed... Yes we came! We saw! He died. Yeah so the timing is perfect isn't it?

CHAPTER 08 / 32 Discussion

Clinton Cash Documentary and Peter Schweitzer

The documentary film "Clinton Cash," based on the book by Peter Schweitzer, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The film investigates the financial ties between the Clinton family's wealth and foreign entities. The hosts discuss Schweitzer's background in investigative reporting, including his previous work on congressional insider trading featured on 60 Minutes.

clinton cash· peter schweitzer· cannes film festival· documentary· stephen bannon· investigative journalism

51:02 Well, who produced this thing? Oh that I don't know. But who cares! Well I do Okay let's see Clinton Cash Movie Let's take a look We can find out very easily Huh? Should be in the IMDB Yeah That's what the search contains IMDB Peter Schweitzer Let me see Interesting Doesn't...ah Peter Schweitzer is the author Was that the guy from the book? I think it is It was probably It doesn't ring a bell. You know, they don't have a proper... it seems they don't have a proper entry in IMDB that is odd! Let me see Peter Schweitzer and Clinton Cash is not on IMDB if its in Khan, if it's playing in Khan being introduced Its gotta be an IMDB That makes no sense let me look at Clinton Well you know think about this stop Yeah now I know exactly where your going

52:06 If you're gonna bring something like this out, you have to keep it under wraps as long as you can because the Clintons will go after and the thing never comes out. Let me see... Okay here's Schweitzer notable work she has done do-as I say not as i do profiles in liberal hypocrisy okay so he is a right winger Clinton cash and he got peterschweitzer dot com Let's see what it says. Investigative products, early work on Jeremiah Denton's National Forum Foundation focused on many fronts and the Cold War. He's a guy who is an old timer. Co-authored a national review article with Denton's son James often cited as Jim murdering SDI about the suspicious deaths of several European officials who supported the Strategic Defense Initiative

52:52 That's interesting. Why is it that's pro pre no agenda? Yeah, well at the NFF Schweitzer also published a report titled The Meaning and Destiny of the Sandista Revolution in 2012 Steve Kroft used Schweitzer work as a basis for our blockbuster report on CBS' 60 Minutes about congressional insider trading. That's the one that we talked about about the Congress doing insider trading. Oh, yes! And then keeping all their documents buried there you have to go look at it by hand and we had one guy go down in the basement yeah. Down in the basement titled Insider The Road To... Hold on a second some idiot has got some I'm getting pinged on Skype The road is stuck da-da-dah throw them all out blah blah blah

53:45 Dan fluette is the producer. You know these are people these are operatives These are not movie people this is something of this is probably and just hearing those clips I heard pretty much every single clip we've had on our show I think they just made a movie with a whole bunch of no agenda clips Wouldn't be the first time people take our clips and make a new product out of it Let's see, Daniel Fluet is a producer. His previous works have included The Hope and the Change, The Undefeated, Battle for America, Fire from the Heartland, Grace Before Meals, Push in the Face of Evil and Score. I would say he's right winger

54:25 Oh yeah. He's only done documentaries, although Grace Before Meals he was an associate producer which you know... I should mention something that happened uh i think it was in 2008 I remember a discussion about this and they had uh I think it was about Michael Moore The Republican, some think tank had gone and determined that the most important next step for the Republican conservatives was to get good at documentaries because they thought that they were really sucked at them. And I think it's probably still true. And Obama bots when they see a documentary or if they see Jon Stewart blathering on stage for half hour there they go all like oh yeah

55:08 Go all into whoo. Oh, man this is so interesting so you know really makes you stop and think They can't do the same thing now with the guy The British guy that you detest I don't test anybody British well the British guy I detest You bitch about him because I don't understand how a British guy could say these things Cliff Richard No, the guys on HBO I think are Showtime. Oh! Oliver? Yeah, John Oliver. John Oliver! I love it...please everybody go look at his most recent episode where he talks about how studies and study shows 20 minutes to 25 minutes the guy goes on about how studies show then and that things are happening and how the news media propagates without reading anything then everything is bogus all these studies all stupid but not a word about i don't know 97% of all scientists or anything like that no that just we'll just gloss right over that

CHAPTER 09 / 32 Discussion

Psychology Replication Crisis and P-Value Manipulation

A discussion regarding a "crisis in psychology" highlights how researchers allegedly manipulate data to achieve publishable results. The segment focuses on the misuse of "p-values" in statistical modeling to create the appearance of strong evidence where none exists. This academic pressure to "publish or perish" is linked to broader skepticism regarding scientific consensus in other fields, such as climate change.

psychology· neuroscience· p-values· replication crisis· statistical fraud· academic publishing

56:11 Which brings me to another thing if we can interject. Are we done with this? Yeah, I'm kind of...I'm kind of done with Clinton. Alright well I think we left it- We got a few things- We've got some homework to do and I hate that idea But I did want to mention that I had dinner Tina and I had dinner Ah here we go! You need an intro for these dinners Well we have an intro but it was not really a full on OBOT dinner You know, because what happened was the artist and her husband had to cancel. It's another installment of... with the Obots. So it wasn't really an Obot dinner. Oh, they weren't there? No because they weren't there now of course... Yeah but you were at the professor who's a total obot. Professor yes, Professor Ross is of course uh an obot as his lovely wife Jennifer Who for some reason was really on her and really very talkative and yeah happy I don't know she's probably talking to him because

57:08 Those other the other two the artist and her husband may be intimidating could be it could be it could be some people you know It reminds me. I'm not gonna hate these as an example That's okay, but but they just went into the cable Hall of Fame because I watched this show I think is one of the best shows on television You'll think I'm crazy It's the NBA show that is done on TNT with Charles Barkley, Shaq and Kenny. Yeah I watch it all the time! Well you never watch it but its a great show because its very funny but when they start substituting people... The magic has gone!

57:47 Well, the magic's gone but it also changes the dynamics. Shaquille O'Neal talks all the time when Charles Barkley is not there. Barkley otherwise hogs the whole conversation and so the dynamics change as the people change is all the point I'm trying to make. Yeah and boy did it ever change! But The Professor Um, he said I said hey how's it going? And we talked a little bit of politics. Of course and obviously the first thing he says is well I bet you're really happy. What do you mean why would you be happy yet? You should have said yes. I had a great trip in Amsterdam and got some publicity thanks yeah thanks for putting those paparazzi pictures in the newsletter that was pretty funny those are the covers yeah um

58:36 Yeah, well yeah. So this is fantastic for the show! This you know this is really good it's a teaching moment for the universe and we're trying to provide the tools to learn He wasn't buying that at all, of course. Because the show is just a pro-Trump show? Of course! So then I go to Jennifer and say, boy... What are your thoughts? She says well let me guess you're gonna hold your nose and vote for Clillery? For Clillery. Something's wrong with Clillery. Somethings wrong with his new name. Are you going to vote for her? And yes, of course this is the meme Hold Your Nose and Vote for Hillary. Hold Your Nose and Vote for Hillary. Yeah yeah so she was not happy but now she will

59:17 But then the professor said, well I'm kind of in a midlife crisis. Oh He says that? Yes to me privately you know the girls are talking. Well this is not too private now but go on oh no hello he knows the drill um i hope Just between you and me Adam. Just between you and me Adam. I think it's looking for a job really because why else would you say the following Yeah, I'm the world of psychology and of course he is neuro. He's in neurosciences yeah one of the top men yeah years He says highly it was sought out. It was stolen from UT by Stanford that does not happen because you suck No And he's got a lab and he just got some somebody's chair award and they actually give you a chair when one of these awards Yeah, no yeah Just called it share note but that he received to share what this true yes

1:00:16 They actually gave him a chair? Well, let me... You don't believe me?! No! He even posted about it. Okay, well he posted about it. Well I mean now i'm thinking maybe I should read it to you we'll find it anyway Let's assume they got a chair go on Now I didn't want to take notes because so I got one key bit of information wrong But I'm pretty sure one of our producers will know if not in the chat room later He says what's been going on there's a crisis in the field of psychology and that psychologists all over the world have been Tweaking their studies by tweaking the n key numbers, I think is what it's called. N-key? I don't know. Okay so there's some variable in statistics which is why I don't understand any of it There are some variables that start with an end dash something

1:01:08 and the general exception... We will have the answer on the Sunday show. Yeah, we will! The general acceptance now by these psychological community is they've all been so worried about not being published because of course if you don't have any results you're not going to get published that they have been there's so much data at this point in these sciences particularly from fMRIs etc that say you can pretty much manipulate the data to get any outcome you want. And he is disgusted, he's sick and tired of it. He says I'm at the point in my life where I want to do something break something. How old are you again? 49. That's about that time when you want to do that and I encourage that but...and of course my next step in was

1:02:07 Well hey man, if that's happening in neuroscience... could it be happening with global warming? I know! Well i don't know enough about the field. Okay thanks but my point was made and taken Oh, dynamite. That was a three-pointer. Yeah it was there was so we need to look into this and into the because he says everyone's talking about this crisis in psychology because of the manipulation of the data interesting hmm well you gotta get published just get your tenure you gotta get published to get those grants you gotta get published for this and that So yeah

1:02:52 Find something everyone's interested in and then you... Oh wait, maybe it's the p-values. You know what? Someone just posted this in the chatroom Yeah I think of..I don't know why I came up with n number but maybe I think is the P values your right hold on next letter over let's see he actually second statistics fraud and that's how I search the Googles ah here you go statistical errors yes the p value there you go thank you chat room AJSGROY That's what it is, the p-values. And so this is what is used in statistical modeling which I believe would be the same used in predictive modeling. P value as a measure of discrepancy of the fit of a model or null hypotheses H to data Y In theory that p value was a continuous measure evidence but in practice it is typically trichotomized approximately into strong evidence weak evidence and no evidence

1:03:55 They want to move away from the no evidence. Yeah, it's just moving the p-value up that's all you have to do it changes things across the board that's the idea I'm gonna put this in the show notes P-values. Before the Sunday show even, before the Thursday show was even done we had it! We did it on the fly So there's a crisis in that field and they're recognizing it I haven't seen down on the front page of New York Times And wouldn't this be important when were looking at SSRI medication all kinds of drugs Wouldn't it be important to know that many many of these studies which John Oliver pretty much should have been talking about on his damn show with the p values

1:04:36 Wouldn't it be important to discuss this, make up a... what do they call it? Conversation. Yes yes Well that's not happening people! Shut up slave! It's another installment of Dinner with the Obots That's all you got?! That's all I got. I told ya was not a full on- Oh man, well if the food any good at least Oh we went to the Salty Sow Which was dynamite and we had- The salty sow? That's where Michelle Obama ate when she was in that I'm sure that's why they chose the restaurant. Damn it, I should have remembered to ask Oh man! I missed that what an opportunity to ridicule oh man Come on champ show us how tough you are I am not tough enough apparently

CHAPTER 10 / 32 Discussion

Salty Sow Restaurant and Bone Marrow Presentation

An anecdote describes a dinner at the Salty Sow restaurant in Austin, Texas, a location previously visited by Michelle Obama. The host provides a graphic description of a bone marrow appetizer, comparing its presentation to a "trough" or "gutter" filled with green and brown substances. The story concludes with a review of the restaurant's ambiance and charcuterie.

salty sow· austin· bone marrow· michelle obama· charcuterie· dining

1:05:16 Oh man. Yeah, the salty sow famous in Austin. Michelle went to let's go there. I guarantee...I'm going to send her an email and say hey how'd you come up with salty sow? You know it's true um they had bone marrow which is not that doesn't sound appetizing. It doesn't sound appetizer or non-trick appetizer then it doesn't sound appetizing and I don't think think it's presented appetizing Well, they don't do a good presentation. Well... well they do half like a bone and the goop is in the bone you're scooping out of that trough in the bone. Tina took one look at it she's like yeah no I'm gonna have soup She didn't eat the bone marrow? Shes not a bone marrow eater? Umm.. No

1:06:02 She didn't want to try it for the first time in that presentation, which I can understand. It was... Okay well I don't know what the presentation was exactly. But I just told you! No you told me but I don't see it and I mean I can visualize laying there's just a bone piece of marrow or just couple bones. Close your eyes. I'm gonna help you close your eyes. Imagine what is the bone that connects your uh... First theramin I'm sorry. You're right what am i even thinking? Theremin all right here we go close your eyes, okay now here We have a bone about A foot long bone and it's sawed Lengthwise in half so you have like a trough like a gutter on the house And that's filled with chunky green brown Goop which you then slide out onto yeah green Brown there were Green bits and uh oh

1:06:49 Right, so you get my point. Then you just scrape it out with the back end of a spoon or what? Yes! Green?! It was green and brown yeah. Ah! What color? Green. And it had kind of slimy bits in it... Yeah its always slimy. So I can imagine where someone might say- look im fearless If I saw the green I probably wouldn't eat it. You could put anything in my mouth No, that's not the way it is normally. It shouldn't be prepared that way or it shouldn't be presented that way and we also had charcuterie board now there was good food salty sours well known for its ambiance and good food I've only had dinner there once long time ago this was very enjoyable a recommendation from Adam and Michelle Flotus okay mm-hmm and Next time in Austin I'll go there for sure

CHAPTER 11 / 32 Discussion

1:09:37 So Don Tomaso, DTRO Toronto. Dear Wallace and Gromit I have been dismayed as you as the lack of donations of late at the show... The show quality he says and content have been more than outstanding! And in fact if anyone listened to this Adams presentation here of the two items that we had at the beginning of the show You would know exactly true Including the thing about the data in Uber, which nobody's reporting on but they talk about it. I think this! I think that! You know right? Right?! They gotta do...right?? I think this! I think Uber is gonna do this! Well no, I think right? Uh huh.

1:10:28 I finally limited, or I'm sorry. Geez! I'm not gonna be able to read anything today. I finally landed a great job after many years of underpaid frustration the thing that sealed the deal was value for value. I was able to demonstrate and... The personal brand I have been building using the techniques and values demonstrated by fantastic hosts of No Agenda Show it's better than a personal career coach we he says he says WE are better than a personal career coach. Huh? Yeah, we you and I are better than our personal career coach. We whatever we're doing which is not completely intentional it helps people in life some of it's not intentional some of it is but you're right I think generally speaking the best stuff that we deliver is not intentional as career coaching but it turns out to be good example the new gig he says involves longer commute and no agenda is perfect for the ride

1:11:25 I laughed all the way to and from work while listening to the clip show. It was fantastic! Mm-hmm, it is pretty funny I am sending you the amount of 2345.67 which came from a rental we have on Airbnb and will continue to share some of that income with you and hope to make Archduke this year!

CHAPTER 12 / 32 Discussion

Millennial Scrubs and Blacksmith Donations

Donor Nick Kosterman provides a definition of a "scrub" as a "buster" who lacks ambition, referencing popular culture terminology. Another donor, Christopher Dolan, and a blacksmith named Richardson the Farrier contribute to the show. The segment discusses the costs associated with shoeing horses and the effectiveness of "karma" requests from listeners.

nick kosterman· millennial· scrub· buster· blacksmith· horse shoeing

1:16:26 He's a millennial. He says, a bit about myself I'm a millennial but not a scrub what does that mean? A scrub? Yeah it's what he says. Book of Knowledge definition of scrub The term scrub has several different uses. As an adjective, one of domestic animals not selectively bred as a verb 1 clean with hard rubbing 2 wash thoroughly 3 postpone indefinitely or annul something that was scheduled and as a noun dense vegetation consisting of stunted trees or bushes. Wait! The act of cleaning a surface by rubbing it with a brush Nah, I don't buy any of this. He's the guy that looks like a guy named Bill Finn whatever it is Hey John and Adam gotta catch up for the lost time on donations started listening six to seven years ago in Hold on a second Let's just stop right now Nicholas

1:17:26 The sense is no good. Started listening six to seven years ago in university, no in the university maybe at university at the university he loves this show I donated before and called out my buddy Joe as a douchebag and gave him karma shot that day he had a hyper hypertension attack and was hospital did his apple watch warn him I guess not. Be careful of this combination, it happens to be super effective which means he was a call somebody out as a douchebag and then give them karma He says apparently not very healthy thing to do this way once the douche bag and karma at the same time?

Christopher Buckley and the Elite Disdain for the Internet

A host prepares to attend the wedding of Cat Buckley in New York City and recounts a 20-year-old anecdote involving her father, Christopher Buckley. During a family gathering, Buckley allegedly dismissed the future of the internet and mocked the host's career at MTV. The segment explores the perceived arrogance of the "intellectual elite" regarding technological shifts.

South Sudan Famine and Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte

The segment covers the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, where drought and famine are forcing mass migration. The hosts criticize George Clooney's role in the formation of the state. Additionally, the victory of Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippine presidential election is discussed, noting his controversial "death squad" rhetoric and comparisons to Donald Trump.

1:24:54 Yeah, Brazil? No not Brazil. Here's one for you. Play the South Sudan and then play a couple of Clooney clips. Okay! Being driven from their homeland in South Sudan out of sheer hunger farmer Aping Riyang and his family are being forced to flee north to neighboring Sudan as his home country sinks deeper into a famine He is among tens of thousands leaving the country because of drought and a lack of food. I am leaving with anger and sadness, because hunger is forcing me to leave my homeland. Your homeland is your homeland! If there was something to eat, I would not even think of leaving." These children are suffering from malnutrition.

1:25:54 Is a spine! Yes! As requested. So how is the... What's Clooney up to? I mean, he was one of the guys who created the state of South Sudan from what i can tell. Yeah, Clooney's not doing much it's all about Amal He's trying to make Amal happy and whatever her issues are It's all Amal, Amal, Amal, Amal, Amal, Amal All about Amal This can't last Uh, what so uh wow The nation-state had just got a new president. Hold on a second, let me see… In the Philippines— There you go. —Rodrigo Duterte has declared victory in the presidential election and vowed to rewrite the Constitution. Duterte won the election despite periodically admitting to his role in death squads, joking about the gang rape of an Australian missionary and pledging to kill tens of thousands of people. He's been dubbed the Filipino Trump.

1:26:53 What? That's outrageous. It's really the last bit that really does it, this thing. And pledging to kill tens of thousands of people he has been dubbed the Filipino Trump. Stop compresses. Yeah. Clip of the day I don't know how I missed it. That is why there are two of us darling. That is why there are two of us you know someone said...I know what your beat I know what you're beat. Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff too! I don't know how I missed that one... That's a gem! I mean she did- I'm surprised that Donald somehow threw global warming in. She has her other big thing. Uh no there was a lot of that of course it's always somewhere Well she did have since you brought it up uh huh She did have like kind of a segment about the created story A number of them actually Oh Let's play the setup uh DN setup this is these both need setups

CHAPTER 15 / 32 Discussion

Democracy Now Coverage of Washington State Protests

Protesters in Lynden, Washington, blocked a bridge to prevent attendees from reaching a Donald Trump rally. The hosts critique a Democracy Now report that characterized the rural community as a "hotbed of Nazism" and a center for KKK activity. They suggest the protests are becoming a "career" for activists using mobile apps to coordinate demonstrations.

democracy now· lynden washington· trump rally· protests· kkk· fascism

1:27:52 This is a story about the protesters in Lind or Linden, Washington. Yes which they've described as a hotbed of Nazism. No! In Washington State? Yes okay. Washington state so they had a big protest that block a bridge and nobody could go to the Trump rally this is like there let's keep anyone listening those guys speak right approach and so they had some producer from Democracy Now up there talking to people and then it It's borderline idiotic to listen to it. But play this is the one of the two clips I've got, play this one. This is the second one that doesn't have... The second one has car passes, play the one that does not have car passes. Hi my name is Thomas and I'm here to support folks who are organizing locally against fascism and Donald Trump We're in Linden, a rural community near Bellingham Washington. It's on the northwest corner of the United States

1:28:50 It's a community where white supremacy has been rampant. What is going on? Since it has been colonized and we're particularly drawing attention to Linden because... Wait, stop! Stop, stop, stop. Are we confused I thought Indiana was the racist place No, no. This is Linden Washington and it's institutions... And we're particularly drawing attention to Linden because here has been the center of Ku Klux Klan rallies and organizing for at least a hundred years Now that was Indiana I don't understand how it can be in Washington as well? And right now it's a hotbed for racism against farm workers We're not gonna allow Donald Trump to come into our community and spread hate and try to encourage the detention or

1:29:36 or the terrorism towards people of color and undocumented persons. My name is Josefina Mora, and so right now I have my arms in two tubes each side. And on my right there's Nia, she is chained to a ladder, and on my left there's Thomas, he's also chained to a ladder. So we're blocking about 80% of the street, and so we also have a couple vans that are blocking the road for uh... that are stopped um... soaring pretty mixed reviews i guess mostly negative surprising for linden washington not surprising for any place in the black at the road

1:30:14 My goodness. Negative reviews, not surprising for Lyndon Washington they blocked the Bay Bridge recently and there was negative reviews I'm trying to get to the city only the bridge but you're misunderstanding John what she's talking about now these are all this is a career now for these kids they have an app And then they check in for a job. Okay, the job consists of you chaining yourself to others and being strung across the road and then you get feedback from the users until she probably got a one star rating instead of a five on the app because it was just not really a good thing It could be. Not to mention it, I'm taking a bad attitude. I'm thinking that's a great app is what iIm thinking now this so the next thing the next report which is the passing car is just another classic example of oh let's blame everything on Trump This could have been a setup they could have done this themselves there's a million possibilities but now somehow even though they're at the bridge which is a distance from where the trump rally was because you could walk there otherwise

1:31:13 They see this, they make an observation. They see this car go by. They assume that it's from the Trump rally I don't know that it is nobody does they don't do any reporting on it but just listen to the way its presented So um and passing us now is one of the cars leaving the Trump rally It has a very big confederate flag displayed on top of it This will be! This will be! A free land! A free land! So they were Bernie people. Yes, exactly! And the guy with the Confederate flag was probably some stooge from the Bernie campaign. Yeah. No this guys are... This is all dirty tricks I mean the best example of that was this one another report from Democracy Now and it just seems to me

CHAPTER 16 / 32 Discussion

White Nationalist Delegate Controversy and Southern Poverty Law Center

The Trump campaign removed William Johnson, a leader of the American Freedom Party, from its California delegate list following a Mother Jones investigation. The discussion analyzes the Southern Poverty Law Center's characterization of Johnson's group and the media's focus on white nationalist support for Trump. Johnson's public calls for a "white ethnostate" and his robocall campaigns are reviewed.

william johnson· american freedom party· southern poverty law center· delegates· white nationalism· mother jones

1:32:07 This looked like a dirty trick from the get-go, and it involves some guy who is—just play this report. Donald Trump and the white nationalist. Hold on. I got to get the right one? Yeah! I saw this. Well, Donald's Trump campaign—Donald Trump's campaign is facing criticism after it named a prominent white supremacist leader to its list of delegates in California. William Johnson is the head of the American Freedom Party, which aims to preserve, quote, the customs and heritage of the European-American people," unquote. Over the years he's advocated for the creation of a white state and the deportation of almost all nonwhite citizens from the United States.

1:32:51 Johnson's name appeared on a list of delegates published by California Secretary of State Monday. After Mother Jones broke the story, on Tuesday the Trump campaign blamed Johnson's selection on a quote database error and removed him. The correspondence published by Mother Jones shows that Trump— Stop right there. Don't forget this little element in the story. They removed him, they found out who he was and they removed him The story is now as far as I'm concerned over but it's a dirty trick I didn't even know this! The guy's name is William Johnson there are like 1000 of these folks but they're gonna play this up anyway They dropped him from the list but let's hell with that

1:33:32 blast this operation as much as we can. So let's just start piling on to nothing, but let's continue." And removed him. But correspondence published by Mother Jones shows the Trump campaign was in touch with Johnson as recently as Monday. The Southern Poverty Law Center has described Johnson's American Freedom Party as arguably the most important white nationalist group— Hold on a second. How did they get that? How'd they get that correspondence? Because it sounds like they're looking at something in a database. It's a dirty trick. And they got Cory— I just want to hear it, I just want to hear it! —Poverty Law Center has described Johnson's American Freedom Party as arguably the most important white nationalist group in the country. Earlier this year, Johnson Super PAC funded a pro-Trump robocall to voters

1:34:17 The American National Super PAC makes this call to support Donald Trump. I am William Johnson, a farmer and white nationalist. The white race is dying out in America and Europe because we are afraid to be called racist This is our mindset it's okay that our government destroys our children's future but don't call me racist! I'm afraid to be called racist It's okay to give away our country through immigration but don't call me racist I love the don't vote for a Cuban.

1:35:03 Hey man, don't vote for the Cuban. One question now before you go further I just want to ask you one question is it not the ugly side of democracy even though we have a republic but we adhere to democratic values is it not the ugly side quote-unquote of democracy that everybody gets to vote? And whether you're a voter, a delegate whatever. But that should reflect all values of the country and it should also reflect the racists, it should reflect the crazy people, it should reflect tinfoil hat wearers... You cannot say you're not allowed to participate because you are a racist

1:35:45 Or am I missing something? Isn't that just unfortunately how democracy works and mob rule. You also have the right to bitch and moan about guys like this Of course, of course! Well okay good point you make a fair point But he was removed, but he was removed from owning part is the best part of the whole thing Of course because that's what I'm like. Yeah, of course it is now this character Put out some robo call big deal then somehow they got a hold of it I don't know how that happened cuz I'd never heard This is some while ago because it was talking about Ted Cruz not even in the race anymore So it's got nothing to do with what currently happened, but that's okay

1:36:24 And then the guy disclaims any connection with Trump, but of course that's not pointed out. So the guys just some you know anyone could one can randomly do this I mean the Koch brothers are they don't like Trump either So I don't know why nobody mentions that. They are almost at the point where they said they support Hillary and she refuses to accept their support, but she couldn't do anything about robocalls if they started doing them. I'm Charles Koch! I love Hillary! That will not go away. It happened. And so they go on and on with this... By the way, they could do that if they wanted. The whole thing is bullcrap but let's go to part two

1:37:03 And there's a couple of elements I want you to pay attention. One is that the Southern Poverty Law Center says it's one of the most important, one of the most important organizations this crazy political party and I wish they'd pay attention how many people are in this party? Why is it the most important? Please know that the Southern Poverty Law Center holds almost half a billion dollars in assets from donations They're not just some little organization that is in poverty in the South. We're like, oh we've investigated them! No no they are a big ass PR arm of I don't even know if they care which party they work for. Of the liberal elite? Probably liberal elite, yeah. All right. Part two. So talk more about who he is, how well known he is and what exactly the conversations that you understand... Oh man! What a good one got to roll that back she did a whole conversation did you hear it? Yeah oh yeah It was a good one conversation What exactly the conversations

1:38:04 And she said it like this. The conversation, the conversation! And what exactly? The conversations... She's the poster child now for the conversation And what exactly the conversations that you understand, what the communication has been with the Trump campaign? Sure. So he leads the American Freedom Party— What?! It's a political party, white nationalist political party. You know it probably has just a few thousand members at most. They've never successfully elected a president. It has a few thousand. Two thousand, three thousand members and it's important at all? Very important yes very important John. Most important according to Southern Poverty it's got 3,000 members oh my god what are we gonna do? You know probably has just a few thousand members at most they've never successfully elected a candidate Wait a minute first he says very important then he talks with disdain hold on. We have just a few... I'm going to roll back here we go nationalist political party one more

1:39:03 This is the guy from Mother Jones who wrote this story and as soon as he asks any question, he starts off with sure. Oh God! And does he do right at the end? Because that's the way to do it. Sure we can talk about how we're not making any money yet but we're going into a direct-to-consumer play right?! It's a political party, white nationalist political party. You know it probably has just a few thousand members at most they've never successfully elected a candidate yet you know as you mentioned they are arguably the most important white nationalist group in the country because of the people involved and their sort of like brain trust for

1:39:44 the white nationalist movement, such as it is. And some of their members are sort of intellectual—whether there's a former California state professor or there's a former Reagan appointee on their board of directors—and they talk about They're not they don't consider themselves to be white supremacists. They argue that they don't claim that the white race is superior to other races, but they do want America to be a separate white ethno state so they would like to kick out the non-whites from America. Last year... Is that true? Do we know if that's true? Have they actually said that? I find it hard to believe

1:40:32 I think it is true. I think the guy, this guy Johnson William don't call me Ray J. I think he said things to that effect if this is a drinking club If its anything Yeah 3 thousand members During an interview That's not even you know just barely a podcast audience Seriously WFMZ in Pennsylvania William Johnson openly called for the formation of a white state This is what he said We're seeing now a dispossession of the majority in this country and it's not just through illegal immigration, it is through legal immigration. What we are happening now is that America is being replaced by other peoples and a group of people should not willingly open up their borders or allow other people to take over. And what has happened for the last 50 years there has been relentless onslaught of propaganda anti-white propaganda if you stand up and say I want to preserve this country for our own

1:41:25 our own people, you're called a racist. And as a result of that every aspect of our society has gone downhill and we have to address that issue. From your perspective would you close the borders entirely? Well even if you closed the borders entirely it is not going to correct the system. If you look at the demographics now that the white children are the vast minority in school districts everywhere in United States. We need to look at total way. We need to create a separate white ethnostate." This diversity is a failure! That is William Johnson speaking on WFMZ in Pennsylvania, Josh Harkinson talk more about—I mean this is a person who's extremely well-known. This isn't someone that you had to research their background to figure anything out about

1:42:14 Oh, gee. He starts to ends up with the thing with this guy is extremely well known they're very influent by the way there is already a white state it's called Idaho. Extremely well known that was why only this bull crap I've never heard of this guy no how what does she mean by extremely well-known? I think they were on the wrong track though because that's not what everyone's focusing on of course the stop Trump media movement is still going It's all about the taxes now, which is gonna- it's just not going to go anywhere. Because I think that Trump supporters think... They'll probably think similarly like hey come on man we all want to fuck the taxes and so Trumps better at it maybe he'll show us how to do it! I don't know but I just don't see him really gaining any traction but uh its He responds poorly to that So thats uhh

CHAPTER 17 / 32 Discussion

Jeff Daniels and the President of the World Concept

Actor Jeff Daniels is criticized for comments suggesting the U.S. President is effectively the "President of the World." The hosts argue this reflects an arrogant "Obot" worldview. A theory is discussed regarding Bill Clinton potentially being sent to the hospital or "purgatory" during the campaign to generate sympathy for Hillary Clinton and neutralize attacks on his past.

jeff daniels· bill clinton· hillary clinton· globalism· newsroom· hospital

1:43:04 That's kind of good. Jeff Daniels came out, now Jeff Daniels of course is you know he is extremely well known and as a newsman serious newsman We all know this. A serious newsman from what was it called? News studio, Newsday, Newsnight... What was the...? Newsnight yeah whatever not Newsnight but it was the news that some it was some it was a show that was supposedly an accurate portrayal of a newsroom like CNN might perhaps have right and It's all bullcrap. I've been in plenty of so they're rolling him out you know this makes sense for him to come on he's yeah, well He's also very well-known Liberal representative oh yeah Then he's kind of a cock and that's also it's so we I mean look at anything that Trump's done And also if plays into hatred it plays into what's the worst possible thing? We can create and then fan that flame and that's why you've got racism bigotry and

1:43:59 And make America white again. That's what he should say, and he knows that. He is playing to them whether or not he can take it all the way to November. You want to say no? But where has he tripped up yet? But, you know I look at the stats and hope. He looks at the stats what from 538? From Nate Silver? To hell everyone who doesn't want him to be president shows up in votes And I just... It's not just the President of United States it is the President of the world Now this has got to stop but i hear this a lot from my Obama bot friends and I call them on it then I say You sound like a Republican

1:44:47 When you say that. We're the president of the... He's the President Of The World? How very dare you! That is a horrible thing to say, I've never noticed this This is oh hoho It always said he'll be the President of United States of America but we all know that really the President of The World I guarantee you can find a million clips and I'm gonna put together montage Yeah, the president of the world. I'm embarrassed... Talk about being arrogant to make these sorts of assumptions. Especially coming from the Democrat side! They're the ones who keep talking about partnership. I was in the European Union just recently

1:45:28 People are not... This is another one. The world is laughing at us! No, the world is not laughing at us people are worried they're scared because they've been fear-mongering into believing as my Moroccan Uber driver in Paris said Donald Trump wants to start World War 3 and kill all Muslims They're not laughing But when you say You know really our president is the president of the world then they're laughing And that you make us look like idiots Jeff douchebag Daniels. It's not just the president of the United States, it is the President of the world and like Hillary or not I do she has got international street cred. No she is so gangster! And its a dangerous world

1:46:16 I like that she's been around several times, certainly as Secretary of State and her whole history. And the fact that again like him or not Bill Clinton is available as a sounding board just internationally...I feel safer that way. Okay what Jeff doesn't know is that Bill was about to go into the hospital he doesn't know that does he? No, I don't know that either. Oh yeah of course because Donald Trump is attacking Hillary Clinton on being an enabler and being evil on women and is bringing up Bill Clinton's past, and their marriage. And the only thing she can do—and I judge her by the character she has portrayed to me publicly in the past decades—is send Bill into the hospital so that any attack regarding Bill would be seen as a very low blow." Yes you can't do that. Cannot do this! It's not time for him to die yet but there he will rest in purgatory

1:47:18 In Hillary Purgatory, whether he needs... and she will sit on her throne when it's time depending on how close the race is. Thumbs up or thumbs down for Bill? They will have a picture of Bill probably in the cover of one of them tabloids and it will have him with one those oxygen masks on. Yeah! In a tent. Oxygen tent I don't think they'll go that far. How about a hyperbaric chamber? But it will be shot, bed shot he'll look like hell which he does anyway and have the oxygen mask on and they'll say Bill close to death! Yeah yeah Trump low blow! And Trump's gonna have...Trump will have trouble beating Hillary if if Bill is in either in the hospital or dead yes

CHAPTER 18 / 32 Discussion

Ben Rhodes and Obama Speechwriter Hubris

A New York Magazine profile of Ben Rhodes revealed his disdain for the "blob" of the foreign policy establishment and his pride in deceiving the public regarding the Iran deal. The hosts discuss a Charlie Rose interview featuring Obama speechwriters, including Jon Lovett, who reportedly wrote the "if you like your insurance, you can keep it" line for the Affordable Care Act.

ben rhodes· barack obama· speechwriting· charlie rose· healthcare· deception

1:48:10 Because you can't speak ill of the dead and what's she gonna do? And then Hillary is going to get a lot of sympathy. Now, I've talked to people about this versus RSD... Before we go in yes, I want you to say this has been our theory for years that this would happen. Years! This is not something we picked up on 4chan or Reddit you A-holes Yeah, we started this I think maybe four years ago when it was apparent that Hillary's gonna run. And we outlined it and we had a... It's in the Red Book? It's going to be during the primaries or whatever. We had...it was debatable The two of us debated the timing of it And that's the only thing that we varied on this. I brought this up with friends of mine every so often and they say, oh what'd that make Hillary look bad? You know cause she's going to be the grieving widow. How is a grieving widow ever gonna look bad? So a lot of people don't seem to understand how this works but Hillary if Bill dies and it would probably

1:49:07 Something she'd want anyway. She doesn't want Bill Bick in the White House, she wants to be the boss So she doesn't want him in there anyway you know go stay in your place No of course not because no but and Bill is got he's almost one of these guys who thinks he can take it with him So I still have the Clinton Foundation if story, I'm gone. You know what can happen? If I'm gone i'll still have it he's just doesn't yeah but so dead or not we don't know but I would say time for him to go into hospital but that also depends a bit on the email thing and if that ever comes out uh but I've two other quickies um well published thing was in New York Magazine regarding

1:49:57 Ben Rhodes, who was talking about and laughing in the interview about how easy it was to deceive the American public with speeches that the president would give. Which has caught a little bit of fire here and there people are talking about it a little bit but I think for people just looking at mainstream for some...a little bit of background you know they're not going to find it. But Charlie Rose had a couple of Obama's speechwriters on Who of course wrote speeches for all of the catchphrases, what they do. The president is a great delivery mechanism he can deliver a joke He can deliver a tear. He's fantastic this president is one of the best One I agree one of the best just fantastic but listen to the hubris of these a-holes But my point Is that you have equal impact on serious speeches because it's about style use of language

1:50:55 I really like, the joke speech is the most fun part of this but the things that i'm proudest about were more serious speeches. Health care, economic speeches and I think... Lovett wrote a line about if you like your insurance you can keep it. How dare he? So somebody wrote that line and probably was this guy His buddy throws him under the bus. Hey, you wrote that line? Somebody wrote it. What was this that you picked up? Where is this? Charlie Rose did a Charlie Rose show. There's a whole... Oh yeah those guys at the round table Yeah! You should really listen to it because It's sickening just to hear these douches And then Trump called into I think it was Chris Cuomo's show He's good friends with him Although Cuomo pretends to put up a fight I think he tromboned his mom or something and keeps talking about his mom

CHAPTER 19 / 32 Discussion

Donald Trump Debt Buyback Strategy and Media Misinterpretation

Donald Trump's comments regarding the national debt and buying back bonds at a discount are defended against media claims that he suggested a default. The hosts explain that Trump was describing a standard financial maneuver involving interest rate fluctuations and currency printing. They argue the New York Times incorrectly reported that Trump intended to force creditors to take losses.

1:51:50 But when I read this in Paris and I read, oh Trump is crazy. He wants to shortchange the investors in the United States the full faith and credit Krugman wrote about at The New York Times everybody was writing about how dare he? How dare Donald Trump even suggest that we would default on our loans meaning treasury bonds that we wouldn't pay them back 100% how dare he! Everyone was outraged. I heard what he said And he clarified it, and to me it seemed like a pretty simple thing that he said which was not that crazy.

1:52:37 In other words, we can buy back debt at a discount. Isn't that very normal suggestion? If the rates go up then we will be able to buy back in a discount that seems like I saw some of this thing with Cuomo but I didn't notice that was a good yes it's exactly you're exactly right but i'm going to relate something This is he 70 and he was raised obviously during my dad used always say this He said, well you know they always want to keep it...you want to have a controlled inflation that was a certain amount and he says if you really get into trouble you want to crank it way up because that makes money cheap so you can buy back debt at a discount.

1:53:21 If the interest rate goes to 20%, then everything's falling in terms of the value of the dollar. And that's when you buy, you buy your bonds back, you buy all your stuff back at a discount so you can buy back the entire United States debt- Yeah, at a discount! Yeah, huge discount if you do this right. The way it is now is just the opposite. You've got deflationary things and money's worth more. So if you start buying the bonds now, you're getting gypped So that's, yeah it's a very common approach. But that's the traditional approach that came out during the Roosevelt administration, that kind of thinking And it is not radical

1:54:03 No, it's very common thinking actually. And in fact Trump says the second half of that strategy he mentions in the rest of this interview People said I want to go and buy debt and default on debt These people are crazy This is a United States government First of all you never have to default because you print the money There ya'go see? He understands the system We'll buy we'll print up some money we'll buy back It's that simple you okay so there's never the fault but but the point is i would it was reported in the new york times incorrectly though he said he would go to creditors and make them take less part of the failing new york times and other places that uh... that by water default on debt you know i'm looking at that i understand that better than probably anybody i know how to

1:54:50 I know how to deal with debt. So, I'm pretty sure no one can argue that he's the king of debt. Not the only king but yeah, he is big on the debt. Well, I love that but you know it's huge and dangerous and you have to be careful when you have to do what you're doing But let me just tell you if there is a chance to buy back at a discount US in other words interest rates go up and the bonds go down, you can buy debt. That's what I'm talking about people had it at times and others wrote oh Trump wants to go with key creditors and buy debt at a discount now there could even be time when somebody comes in but with the government they're never going to walk in and say do me a favor would you buy my debt at a business discount? In business that happens all the time I bought mortgages back when the market

1:55:33 it went bad. I bought mortgages back at tremendous discounts and i love doing that, there's nothing like it actually gives me a great thrill. It's a great thrill! I get so turned on by buying distressed mortgages my god i'm rock hard but in the united states with bonds that won't happen because You know in theory the market doesn't go down so that you default on debt and that's what happens So here's a story just to have it corrected if we have an opportunity where interest rates go up, and you can buy debt back back at a discount. I always like to be able to do that if you can do it, but that's all i was talking about they have it like i'm going to go back to creditors yes and i'm gonna restructure debt it's ridiculous alright no it's ridiculous but they print it out wrong purpose all right so well i think the new york times should uh print a retraction yeah they will on page 17 in the bottom yeah listen that was a good clip yeah hey i did a lot of research into um

CHAPTER 20 / 32 Discussion

DDT History and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring

The history of DDT and its ban in the United States is traced back to Rachel Carson's 1962 book "Silent Spring." The hosts discuss the political nature of the ban and its impact on malaria deaths in Africa. They argue that the scientific evidence against DDT was exaggerated and that its prohibition led to millions of unnecessary deaths from mosquito-borne illnesses.

ddt· rachel carson· silent spring· epa· malaria· environmentalism

1:56:32 Zika and DDT, since we picked up on a few clues from Fauci. From...Singers and Disease... Sorry? Broth. I always forget that I need to play that clip He is the guy who first came to our attention not because of his prowess in vaccinations but Good to be here Broth That was really the reason he caught our attention It was like the universe was signaling us Watch this guy So I think, I kind of know where this is going. It appears that... and if i go back in history, 2006 the World Health Organization said DDT is okay again to be used because we have a crisis with malaria and this was before we started the show so we weren't really reporting on it although DDT has come up many times but in the history of this podcast

1:57:27 And it is a surefire way to get rid of mosquitoes. And it works incredibly well, just some of the details there was even back in the day when this was used everywhere certainly by the military and saved a lot people from dying of malaria There were investigative journalists who really investigated the claims of DDT and were eating a full tablespoon of DDT for breakfast every single morning to see if it would affect them or not. And this is very important case because it really came to light, this was before the EPA had been created, the Environmental Protection Agency, and it came to light in the United States mainly through a book

1:58:13 a book called Silent Spring, which was written by Rachel Carson. And I have a little clip here of her reading a little passage from her book now but i did not read the whole thing but I got the book and just read as much as they could it. I'll tell you this is one my Arrow books It was a huge blockbuster Yes But it was more prose than scientific It was really kind of, you know... We're all gonna die. So original All Gonna Die? It wasn't we're all gonna die but here's how it sounded A few minutes research in any supermarket is enough to alarm the most stout-hearted customer If a huge skull and crossbones were suspended above the insecticide department The customer might at least enter it with respect normally accorded to death dealing materials

1:59:07 We spray our elms, and the following springs are silent of robin song. Not because we sprayed the robins directly but because the poison traveled step by step through the now familiar elm leaf earthworm robin cycle. These are matter... The very familiar elm leaf earth worm, earthworm robin cycle yes very familiar. There's a record observable part of the visible world around us they reflect the web of life or death that scientists know as ecology hmm there you go it's ecology We're all gonna die! Okay

1:59:49 Now, from this book what we learned first and foremost and where the science went was the thickness of condor eggshells. I looked it all up it was condor. Okay, but which is even rarer than but it could later have also turned to pelicans because this was not a scientific decision. It was a political decision and for many years since then the pro DDT group has been saying and I think with some validity Ever since DDT was outlawed, millions of people have died needlessly. And of course there was an incredible increase in malaria and other mosquito-borne disease deaths certainly in Africa after the after DDT was outlawed now it's not that they couldn't use it but the USAID has a specific regulation that they are not allowed to finance or send DDT directly

2:00:45 There are some other possible issues. You know, the half-life of DDT is years that lasts a very long time and then of course there's been lots of fear mongering over the years about deformities people dying I even got a couple notes from some of our producers said oh yeah but i know people who were maimed by DDT but scientifically there's no proven evidence reproducible to my knowledge and I've done quite a lot of search research on the topic But what happened is this created the Environmental Protection Agency. That it came out of this book, came out of this conversation and therefore just kind of the ground zero of the green movement So for Fauci in the previous episode we brought him up to...and this is what we think he was alluding too and I think you'll hear here again To bring back DDT which pretty much is still used all over the world

CHAPTER 21 / 32 Discussion

Zika Virus Funding and Vaccine Industry Ruse

Dr. Anthony Fauci's request for $1.9 billion to combat the Zika virus is framed as a "problem-reaction-solution" strategy to secure funding for the vaccine industry. The hosts suggest that money is being diverted from Ebola accounts because that crisis has ended. They characterize the push for a Zika vaccine as a financial ruse involving NGOs and philanthropic organizations.

zika virus· anthony fauci· ebola fund· vaccines· silicon valley· funding

2:01:41 India has, they still manufacture and use it. Many countries around the world use it. It's still in multiple products even DDE which is a kind of a byproduct there's also many products but not in the United States where it is outlawed and of course again USAID can't give any money to poor countries if its going to purchase DDT so here's Fauci on NPR talking about Zika of course and funding it. And in this he confirms a couple things, he confirms that the money needs to come from the Ebola fund its 1.9 billion dollars He's not completely straight about it because we know that at least half a billion has to come from United Kingdom It's pledged money Hello Silicon Valley friends of Silicon Valley 25 million dollars you pledge you douchebags

2:02:31 and also about what I think is going to be the solution to the problem-reaction solution. Problem, which i believe will be created conversation about DDT bring it back no we can't bring it back no we can't it's gonna kill everybody save the children then it'll be ah but we have the vaccine The only question is who will have it. There is no treatment for this virus, this particular disease is generally a rather mild disease. It's characterized by rash by fever by aches and pains and by some inflammation of the eyes and then it generally goes away in several days to a week how

2:03:06 However, if you are a pregnant woman and you get infected during pregnancy, you could have dire consequences for the fetus. And that's really what this is all about. It's about protecting pregnant women given that so far no funding has been by the way that it's kind of first time we've heard anyone say that this is only about protecting pregnant women Okay. Who I guess we're going to give a vaccine, sounds like a really good idea What this is all about it's about protecting pregnant women Given that so far no funding has been allocated to stem the possible spread of the Zika virus, what is the situation? I mean what is being done or not being done because of that. Well we are moving ahead. We cannot wait this is a serious situation as we enter the robust mosquito season in the next couple of months So we could not wait

2:04:03 to get the money appropriate. We had to move money from other very important areas, to be able to start work on Zika. Now that can only take you so far we have to go back fill that money that we essentially mortgaged out of other areas to get this situation going and the only way we can continue to sustain the effort is to get that money that the president has asked for Well, what do you think Congress is going to do about this? Especially if there are areas of the country where constituents are unconcerned. Well, I think that everyone realizes that we do need the resources. What we're seeing now is a disagreement about how those resources are going to get allocated in the sense of emergency versus appropriation moving money from Ebola accounts there's a lot of discussion back and forth but i do hope that we very soon get the resources that we need. Money! I think what's happening

2:05:07 is that all these countries and the philanthropic clubs like the Silicon Valley Club, they're all going hey wait a minute yeah we pledged Ebola but Ebola's over. And so it's all like giving blood to the you know, you had a disaster nearby and you go give blood to the Red Cross or give blood to some of the Blood Bank. Yeah and they sell it to somebody else! And they already say saying yeah we don't need any more blood for this so we're gonna take your blood anyway and put into storage and give it to somebody else or are we going to donate to Haiti?

2:05:45 Yeah, the Bush Clinton deep got phony baloney deal you give your money. They supposedly go to Haiti Don't give your blankets give your money to get into my cash and the money in Haiti We got other things to do yeah exactly Red Cross crap if I'm giving my money to a specific thing I wanted to go to that specific thing right so that's why people are reneging and but everyone was all ramped up because look people were ready to make a Vaccine no matter what we don't care what it is But you can't make a stop, no. We need our vaccine money we need our research money hey we're all set up here we need this money hello? We're an NGO it's just a ho- it's a ruse there's one other little thing that I

CHAPTER 22 / 32 Discussion

Rio Olympics and Zika Virus Fear Mongering

Low ticket sales for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics are being attributed to fears of the Zika virus. The hosts argue that the virus is localized to northern Brazil and that linking it to Rio is a form of media fear-mongering. They suggest the United States may be undermining the Brazilian games because Chicago lost its bid to host the event.

rio de janeiro· olympics· zika virus· brazil· ticket sales· npr

2:06:27 I know we take it into consideration, but it's good when you hear it. In Brazil the finishing touches are being put on Olympic venues to make them ready for their August 5th debut But Brazil has some other things going on a recession political chaos high crime and the spreading Zika virus So there may be a lot of open seats in those new venues when the games roll around Catherine Osborne reports from Rio If the Olympics were held today, the bleachers would be very empty. Only about 50% of Olympic tickets and 15% of Paralympic tickets have been sold — that's under half what London had sold at this point before its 2012 Olympics

2:07:05 More worryingly for organizers, international ticket sales have also been weak. Blame Zika! The mosquito-borne virus has been tied to birth defects in newborns and health authorities have advised pregnant women not to go to the games All this may mean that Brazil is stuck with a lot of venues and little to show for it Now wasn't this... was this the meeting that Bill Clinton was at or the one that President Obama flew into? That we lost? A couple things we had to note I don't remember Obama going down there but A couple things you have to know. One, the Zika virus if I'm not mistaken the outbreak was up north and Brazil is a massive country it's huge! Huge! It's massive and it's like even you know it's like... You see this happen your do you live in California which is a large state and something will happen

2:07:54 Sacramento, California the big fire and people will say hey. Hey you're in California is the fire affecting you? No the fires 90 miles away which is a long way or it could be in Chicago You're an American if you've heard of the fires are you okay? Just so you know this was President Obama And they wanted to be in Chicago and you remember he went to Chicago They made a big deal about this And he lost, he did not help. We have talked about this before and with some suspicion that maybe the United States is behind this whole thing Yeah hey Brazil

2:08:33 Yeah, why did you get the Olympics? You guys are broke. Chicago would have been perfect he could have been the queen of the ball in Chicago after his... Well yeah but he did a lousy sales job so they didn't get it and then there wasn't enough, they didn't pay off this committee that Olympic Committee is a corrupt operation now we I think that's pretty clear but So I don't know that there's any Zika in Rio But that is irrelevant They never mentioned this. How many if you went on the street and did one of those Jimmy Kimmel or Fallon or whatever man on the street things, you'd be say Brio? And where's it? Where's Zika? Zika was found where?

2:09:17 I think it's up by, up north. It's like near the equator... People wouldn't know North of Fortaleza or something? It's up there. I didn't know Up there by the Equator is not really near this is nowhere near Rio unless somebody could say well yeah those cases in Rio Yeah but mosquitoes can fly. They have an argument. Mosquitoes can fly As far as, they'd have to be blown a long way I mean I don't know that any Sacramento when it was only 90 miles away Sacramento mosquitoes would get blown down here doesn't happen These are localized phenomenons. Anyway, yeah I don't know...I've not heard anything that Rio or Sao Paulo any of those Brazilian uh... Well you just heard NPR link Zika to the Olympics so that is what we can look forward to That would be the idea and we'll get a vaccine Novartis maybe but it's very simple process and i don't believe there's any...it's out-of-patent of course

SV40 Contamination in Polio Vaccines

An archived CDC fact sheet from 1960 reveals that millions of Americans received polio vaccines contaminated with Simian Virus 40 (SV40). The virus, found in monkey kidneys used to grow the vaccine, has been linked to certain types of human cancer. The hosts note that the information was recently removed from the CDC website but remains available via the Wayback Machine.

sv40· polio vaccine· cdc· cancer· monkey virus· contamination

2:10:14 So I think anybody can manufacture this. Dow Chemical could manufacture Merck, but the Indian guys they're already manufacturing DDT the whole discussion and how the EPA was formed out of it in general is interesting history really is there wasn't there wasn't another thing that came out from the CDC or it was removed from the web but there's an archive page and it's from 1960. And here it is, I have a copy which is on the way back machine from the CDC Cancer Simian Virus 40 SV40 and Polio Vaccine Fact Sheet

2:11:00 Then it has, you know, SV40 is a virus found in some species of monkey. SV 40 was discovered in 1960 soon afterward the virus was found in polio vaccine more than 98 million Americans received one or more doses of polio vaccine from 1955 to 1963 when a proportion of vaccine was contaminated with sv-40 It has been estimated that 10 to 30 million Americans could have received an sv-40 contaminated dose of vaccine SV40 virus has been found in certain types of cancer in humans, but it has not been determined that SV40 causes these cancers. But this is now something that was published and then taken down... So the Seedman version is I told you there's a cancer virus in the vaccines! That would be the Seedman version. But concerning? Now I was born in 64 so I fall outside of the bracket. Yeah. I remember the sugar cubes and the pfff

2:11:59 How do things get contaminated is a better question. Yeah, well that is the question doesn't say it doesn't say hmm so anyway sorry to put down on everybody born before 1963 Yeah, well that's a lot of people. I think they've been trying to kill off that group War babies that would be you my friend versus the calm They've been trying to kill off that group with no effect have been trying to kill you off my friend Oh yeah Vietnam war draft year There's one thing after another and it's mostly the Democrats are constantly trying to kill all the baby And now they're giving you euthanasia. They really want to get rid of you guys early It's too late

Panama Papers Database and Mainstream Media Criticism

The release of a searchable database for the Panama Papers is dismissed as "stupid" because it lacks raw documents. The hosts criticize mainstream media's failure to understand the "three-dimensional network" of podcasting, noting that outlets often only focus on repurposed NPR shows or the "Serial" podcast.

panama papers· database· leaks· mainstream media· podcasting· serial

2:21:09 And we have a network that's structured around the network that is reflected by the network of the show goes over. Exactly It's three-dimensional. It is! It is. It's three dimensional. But it's so odd that they just, that they never see these things. They just never see it I get a biggest kick out of the stories too, talking about podcasting podcasting and then there's nothing even ever talk about podcasting. They actually talk mostly about repurposing PBS shows You mean NPR shows? NPR shows. Yeah, exactly! They mostly talk about that or Serial. That's like the biggest thing... Oh oh nobody ever heard of podcasting before Serial. Well you know which is an extended news story yeah it's sad and so the Panama Papers came out with a database that you can search

2:22:09 Yes, I've been playing with it. But it's stupid! It says right there... There are no raw documents. Yeah, that says its stupid. It is stupid. You can find people names. They just extrapolated documents and made nifty little web pages but you're not even seeing the raw documents This isn't a leak? Its failing. Whatever the idea was behind this, it's failing And this is the next, oh you've got a database look up your name. That's not interesting You're not in there by the way Neither are you? Well that's rude of you to check Well you checked me! Oh you really checked me didn't ya No I'm not really Yeah uh huh I know you're not in there Uh huh Why would you be Exactly I know your finances I'm a podcast I'm a podcaster Podcaster

China Tech Startups and Office Sleeping Culture

A report on Beijing's tech startup culture describes employees working 16-hour days and sleeping in bunk beds at the office to maximize productivity. The hosts compare this "fighting spirit" to sweatshop conditions and note similar trends in Silicon Valley. The HBO show "Silicon Valley" is praised for its realistic portrayal of the industry.

2:23:07 Oh man. Alright, I got a couple things. Okay good and we have a clip that's coming up at the end of the show Which is soon, which is soon. Yeah okay well you tell me when it's time for the clip Blitzen I'll start our story up Alright good! I got a biggest kick out of this story This is the story about oh they work on these guys to death in China It's about tech startups and China And this sounds like you know...I think for some reason the whole tech scene is just sick and this is a good example What's name of the? It's called Startup In China Ah sorry Got it Now, despite this new Lego factory China is going through a major transition from heavy manufacturing to a more service-oriented and high tech driven economy. The country's young entrepreneurs are certainly dedicated to the point that tech startups now encourage employees to sleep in the office just to squeeze the most out of their working day Here's more

2:24:01 It's night time in Beijing, but the working day is far from over. In China's tech start-ups 16 hour work days are not unusual. In this company an internet recruitment platform Liu Zhanyu spends the night in a room next to his office it saves him several hours commute every day so from Monday to Friday he bunks down here Sleeping at work seems quite normal to me. Our boss always says our ambition will keep us awake so we won't feel tired The hard part is I can't see my child very often

2:24:38 Companies expect employees to sacrifice their private lives as the technology sector grows more and more competitive. It's now 11 p.m., but people in this office are still hard at work. Chinese people are adding a dose of fighting spirit into entrepreneurial culture, They disregard personal achievement and devote everything they have, let their passion burn to further the dreams of their team. Code slaves! This is bullcrap! This is like a sweatshop... Oh well it's not gonna be all the worst part about working on the assembly line kind of thing that's your assembly line guys have gotten it straightened out to the point with only really working six hours today they got break at good hour lunch in the couple other things that date our day but so by maybe six hours of assembly line work

2:25:24 This 16 hour a day thing is which is all over Silicon Valley. Yeah, and China apparently now it's worse than working on the assembly line.

2:30:10 He's uh, this is a yeah. Well he's got a lot of spirit let's put it that way Spirit is what they call today. He's got spirit that guy Let's play one more clip before cliplets okay? This is Snapchat and CBS. It's kind of an interesting story. A lawsuit claims that the mobile app, Snapchat was responsible for a high-speed crash. Snapchat is instant messaging with pictures and most people use it for fun but Jerica Duncan reports a few are snap bragging about dangerous stunts and violent crimes

2:30:48 16 year old Amy Joyner of Delaware died last week after being beaten in her high school bathroom. A student allegedly recorded the attack with a cell phone and shared it on social media. Seniors who laid as I attended a vigil for Joiner, social media plays a big part in a lot of what's going on nowadays you know? It's cool It's cool to record a fight. It's cool to be on social media because of the fight and I think that is where a lot of us mess up." In Ohio last week, this 18-year old allegedly live streamed the rape of 17 year old girl on the app Periscope She faces upto 40 years in prison for charges including illegal filming of minor

2:31:27 In March, near Tacoma three teenagers were charged with raping a 15-year old girl and posting it on Snapchat an app with more than 100 million daily users. So this is how snapchat works you can take video or even pictures before I send the video i can choose from a number of filters this one will show you just how fast I'm going Last year 18-year old crystal McGee from Atlanta allegedly used this speed filter to take a selfie and show her friend She was driving 107 miles per hour moments later. She crashed into a driver who was seriously injured McGee survived but continued to post pictures of herself while on a stretcher with the caption lucky to be alive I have heard teenagers say

2:32:13 The things don't feel real until you see them on social media. Lisa DeMoor is a child psychologist. We're talking about situations where people are seriously injured and in some cases dead It's so tough with teenagers because their better judgment can be overridden by their wish to be connected to their friends In a statement, Snapchat said we actively discourage our community from using the speed filter while driving. The company says a do not snap and drive warning appears in the app but Scott that was not the case when we used the app as passenger. Oh man... Is this pathetic? Yeah well but you know kids have been doing things for for the great photo forever since photos now they got nothing better to do

2:33:03 Like there's an element of nothing better to do. Yeah, yeah I love that curl creates a wreck and it takes pictures of herself on the stretcher Yeah still lucky to be alive blessed blessed love in light yes We send you loving like blessed i use that so often now on the face bags but just everywhere lovin light because The people who aren't in on the joke think i'm very nice and and uh your sweetheart sweetheart And i have What do I have?

California All-Gender Bathroom Bill AB 1732

The California State Assembly passed AB 1732, requiring all single-use bathrooms in public businesses to be designated as all-gender. The hosts argue this is part of a "war on men" and criticize the politicization of restrooms. They mock the idea of requiring all-gender signs in private homes and discuss the cleanliness of public facilities.

2:33:51 Before we move into the clip blitz, two things. One is a question about what kind of state you are living in. Monday California State Assembly passed AB 1732 A bathroom bill that would require all single-use bathrooms in public business and government establishments to be designated as all gender toilet facilities California continues to move forward, be forward-thinking. Lead the way! Think about how we can be more inclusive and frankly more tolerant. Assembly member Philip Ting coauthored the bill he says gender inclusive single use restrooms are just common sense and should be more convenient for all people to use Now listen to this guy And my hope is that we depoliticize the bathroom issue You aren't politicizing it But assembly member James Gallagher argued that if this bill becomes law

2:34:37 The state would be deciding how business owners should best serve their customers. He also argued that gender inclusive single-use restrooms will inconvenience women No woman wants to use the bathroom after many men have been in that same bathroom Now, so he actually said that And, uh... yeah. First of all war on men. It's part of the war on men obviously but what about the single use bathroom in anybody's home is always used by a man? You have to have a sign! That's the point. In my house?! Yes! Of course you will! This is ultimately- California building code will include a sign on every bathroom that says it's all gender

2:35:25 I gotta get one of those signs and put it on my bathroom. But you know, this if you want to know if there's the world laughing at the United States of America yes! The world cannot believe we're arguing about who where you can poop and who can poop where And then taking it one step further into, hey ladies you don't want to be where we poop. We're disgusting animals! Excuse me I'm very... First of all I don't poop away from home if i can avoid it do not like it but you know but I leave everything clean and I don't make too much noise. I despise airport bathrooms with men though gosh and I hear the women are no better

The book, the movie? Book. The book and movie. And now we're getting reports everywhere about Caitlyn Jenner possibly transitioning back to a man Yeah she never had the lump it off of me. The lumpectomy No no then I still am not convinced those are implants

2:37:09 Do you think she's just wearing falsies? I'm not, i'm just looking at the pictures. I've discussed this with multiple women uh they all agree that it is possible that this has been tightly controlled so to speak and that he may never have even had the implants put in That could be but there could easily removed if they were But even so he had pecs He picked pecs to start with Yeah and then you can push them around And so do we need do anything more than say, we expected this? I don't think so. It was pretty much of a... yeah it was obvious the guy didn't even want to change his voice which is just like he's the guy in drag it was just across dressing exercise which is okay laid up yeah played up that that's perfectly fine no problem what you wear man I don't care what you do but sad if

2:39:01 And now on a much lighter note, a town in Germany has put traffic lights on the sidewalks for people who are so glued to their smartphones that they fail to see what is right in front of their noses. These flashing lights are designed to attract the attention of even the most intent while texting and walking Officials in Augsburg installed them at tram crossings after a series of accidents that involved people getting injured while staring at their phones. Come on, look up everyone! The whole world is out there. There will be no more payday lending ads on Google starting in July.

Last one... Army cadets The West Point Military Academy has launched an investigation into a group of African-American women cadets after photos surfaced showing them posing with their fists in the air as they were set to graduate. The gesture was seen by some as a sign of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Tommy Smith and John Carlos raised their hands in a similar gesture, at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City

2:41:45 But a West Point graduate who spoke with the cadets told The New York Times, quote, these ladies weren't raising their fist to say Black Panthers. They were raising it to say Beyonce. For them it's not a sign of allegiance to a movement It's a sign that means unity and pride and sisterhood. Very very very good job. Alright we're wrapping up!
