Christopher Buckley Wedding, Elitist Political Sentiment in New York

A high-society wedding in New York City brought together prominent Republican and Democratic families, including the heirs of William F. Buckley. Attendees expressed strong disdain for Donald Trump, with many guests arguing that a Trump presidency would be catastrophic for the country. Despite some reservations about Bernie Sanders, the prevailing sentiment among the elite guests favored Hillary Clinton due to her perceived experience.

03:23 Levy, leave it no? Levy is levy yes. Levy wedding so that is my second cousin I think my cousins daughter that's my second cousin okay Is it? I'm asking its...I don't really know quite honestly That cousins thing is a mystery to me Well in Texas cousins as you know wife same thing So this was quite the affair, John. I had expected some elitist stuff but wow! You were in elitist central? Oh yes and now you have to know... Did you feel comfortable? It's my family of course i feel comfortable.

But at the same time we had in the same wedding parties, we had a number of very staunch Democrats including my

Louis Farrakhan on Obama, Presidential Limitations and Systemic Control

Louis Farrakhan previously suggested that while Barack Obama may have been well-intentioned, the existing political system prevents any president from enacting significant change. This perspective explains why Obama was unable to close Guantanamo Bay despite early promises. The same systemic constraints would likely apply to Donald Trump, limiting his ability to accomplish his stated goals if elected.

louis farrakhan· barack obama· donald trump· guantanamo bay· political system

05:47 And everybody all in on Trump is going to, it's gonna kill us. We're going to die! We are going to die if Trump becomes president I heard this verbatim. Um... I got into this not this completely Not the same exact thing but i got into some little discussion and I brought up this point that when Obama was elected I got to see an interview with Farrakhan Yes, it was a Muslim. I think we even played some of this on the show back when

06:26 And Farrah, and somebody asked him do you think Obama's gonna do anything that's like what he says? And Farrah kind of says I think he's well intentioned. We had this attitude about him too. He's well-intentioned but he's not going to be able to get anything done because the system is in place to prove...you know, you just can't do anything! You could just do what they tell you to do and that gets done and it makes it look like you're doing something And I, you know always remembered that and it kind of turned out that way with this guy. He just...I don't think he really initiated anything he just did what he was told kept Gitmo going it was the first thing is supposed to shut down how did that not work? And so I said if Trump got in this is what would happen It'd be the same thing What do you expect him to be able to get accomplished right exactly So that's why that's the way I handle this now

Abigail Kirsch Catering, Luxury Wedding Industry Costs

The Buckley-Levy wedding at Pier 61 featured catering by Abigail Kirsch, a high-end service known for starting prices around $100,000 for dinner alone. The event maintained strict black-tie standards, reflecting the traditions of the upper elite. Observations of the lavish centerpieces and menu highlighted the significant financial investment required for such high-society functions in New York.

07:18 Anyway, go on. I'm sorry... Okay so at the dinner you know it's kind of loose and they had rehearsal things all day and this was they had wedding plans this has been planned for a year and the evening catered would really means from soup to nuts At Pier 61, the lighthouse... if you're familiar with this venue. But it's like right on the water and you know it's got a corner where the ceremony takes place and you're basically looking out over the water with the sun setting over New Jersey I mean is beautiful but the whole thing is done by Abigail Kirsch

07:58 And I didn't know what that meant, because of course I was looking at the centerpieces and the menu. And I'm saying wow this costs a lot of money! Then one my cousins said well Abigail Kirsch catered everything this is all her show Who's Abigail Kirsch? You should go look at that She really doesn't start under 100 grand just for dinner alone It's crazy Yeah, exactly. This was like a real wedding that you very rarely see nowadays except in the upper elites and black tie everyone black tie Which was nice now because it was black I don't own a tuxedo I haven't owned a tuxedo for a very long time because I fluctuate in weight And how often do I need to tuxedo once every two or three years? If that yeah It used to be Rock & Roll Hall of Fame You know bit the Waldorf but once a year but

Rent the Runway, Designer Dress Duplication at High-End Events

The popularity of the Rent the Runway app led to a fashion faux pas at a high-society wedding where three different women wore the same Badgley Mischka gold lamé dress. While the service allows users to access expensive haute couture for a fraction of the retail price, it lacks a tracking mechanism to prevent multiple guests at the same event from renting identical outfits. This contrasts with the custom, unique gowns typically provided to celebrities for events like the Oscars.

rent the runway· badgley mischka· haute couture· fashion· designer dresses

08:49 So, of course I rented a tux. And Tina found this...I don't know if you've ever heard of this place where it's called Rent the Runway and you rent an haute couture dress from a designer and they send you...it's kind of like a tuxedo rental except it's a dress that you've seen on the Paris runway! You can rent it for significantly less than what the dress would cost Yes, well those things cost a mint. Oh yeah and it's cool because they deliver it in a garment bag and then you drop it into UPS box and it goes back the next day but here is the problem with this fabulous app on his website or whatever the heck it is one of the designers is Bagly Miska

09:39 And Bagly Miska had this year on the runway, I happen to know this though. Had this year on the runway this gold kind of lame dress which is very distinct. You're wearing a big chain mail piece of gold pretty much and it's available on Rent The Runway and subsequently there were three women at the wedding wearing the same dress because of course this website doesn't track who's renting what And it was hilarious. And I went to every single one of them and said, hey by the way you wear it best. To everyone of them. Yeah that would be you! Of course! You really wear this dress best It's bad enough that you notice but its probably still considered an insult No because all the women in the procession line going into where the ceremony was taking place Don't these women have their own dresses to wear? Well no

10:29 Doesn't everyone have their own limo service? No, we have Uber. You know doesn't everybody has their own dress- no! No you do to rent the runway so it shows you kind of two things one is pffft you rented that dress bitch I seen it And the worst, you know... Most of the people that do the Oscars all those actresses they don't own any of those dresses. Yeah it's just but those are made for them and their unique now luckily there was no one who was wearing Tina's dress I'm very happy like I think i'm gonna have to take someone out if that happens but we were looking at our man so that was interesting to see that take place in this big elitist affair which was really beautiful No doubt about it! I learned something did you know where tying the knot comes from?

CHAPTER 06 / 49 Discussion

Tying the Knot, Marriage Ceremony Origins and Symbolism

A wedding ceremony featured a traditional ritual where a priest used a stole to physically tie the couple's hands together during their vows. This practice is cited as the literal origin of the phrase "tying the knot." The ritual symbolizes the binding of the couple together through their shared commitments and religious blessing.

tying the knot· marriage traditions· wedding vows· symbolism

11:12 The phrase tying the knots I'm trying to think if i do but, I don't think. I do I did not know But so they had the priest that two guys one and it's like It was almost like dj jazzy jeff in the fresh drivers in a band yeah that DJ Jazzy Jeff from the Fresh Prince you have Two guys on stage and then as one point is that you know there's doing their vows And everything who clearly these senior guy? I wish I remembered their names He took off his you know with scarf his shell what he called at the The thingamajigger around his neck. Exactly, which has been blessed by... could be the Pope! Could be a cardinal and then he ties their hands together and then he ties that around their hands in a knot as the vows are being made I didn't know that's where it comes from tying them up. That's some bondage ceremony you were in accouplation with? Well i'm pissed off if that's true

CHAPTER 07 / 49 Discussion

General Vincent Brooks, North Korea Armistice and Peace Agreement

General Vincent Brooks recently took command of U.S. forces in Korea and suggested that the current armistice should be replaced with a formal peace agreement. This aligns with long-standing arguments that North Korea primarily seeks a permanent end to the state of war rather than a temporary cessation of hostilities. Meanwhile, South Korea continues to pay approximately half the cost of maintaining the U.S. military presence on the peninsula.

vincent brooks· north korea· south korea· armistice· peace agreement

12:07 Now, so again Trump talk completely foreboding. Don and Meg's my uncle Donna Meg of course you know they're now in their late 80s then I think everything was quite overwhelming for them in general and I certainly was not gonna go hey good to see you guys hey this is my new girlfriend what the going on with North Korea? I just kind of trying to be a little calm in that regard The girlfriend that went she's everyone loves her then yeah they're all saying you know what are you doing with him He's a podcaster. He's a podcaster? A podcaster! But I was sitting next to him and next on Meg, and so we of course had a chance to chat... And he said you know, we'll probably talk later which didn't happen We said I do have good well Thanksgiving big Thanksgiving thing coming up this year today but i do want to tell you about something that's going on something really interesting happened in Korea

13:03 I said there's a brand new army general, four-star general who is taking over Vincent Brooks and Vincent Brooks before he took his post which this is maybe this past week. I think he went up to the dividing line what does that the what do they call that? The 21st parallel or the 33rd parallel one of those wherever uh wherever the division is between North and South Korea and he said in a statement he said This is where we signed an armistice was arm-arm a tis am I saying it right miss our night and not being able to say armatist armatus armistice is it what is it you'll never say I can't get it now had it did so as you said I visualize the words about this and then you start armatus armatus nice armor I said oh I said it right armatus there you go armatus to harm it yes it is am ARM at IC e armatus day armatus

13:59 Armatus. Does it sound right to you? Yes, it does now. Armatus. That's where they signed the armatis agreement and then the four-star general said what this really should be is a peace agreement Yeah And if you recall this is what Don has said from day one From day one he said that this is all they want give them that and You'll see things end It's armistice Armistice, you're right...armistice Anyway, it's what they don't want. They want just a peace agreement. No armistice just means... Lay down your arms! It doesn't mean that its like bull crap okay we're gonna stop for now but we're still going to fight someday Exactly What does that mean? Someday when were all pissed off enough Yeah well this whole is something I

14:48 Just baffling why this, it is obviously just continued because South Korea is such a good partner to buy stuff from us. And it turns out somebody was bitching about you know let's shut down some of these bases we get 200 300 of them around 800 and run the world exactly and somebody mentioned that they're paying half of the freight on this South Koreans that's a lot of money yeah and although they'd be you know if we didn't have anybody up there probably save more but beside the point And yeah, they're just suckers and this would be ideal. Suckers? I thought they were suckers! Who gives a crap about North Korea it's just a backward operation when they join... When it all becomes one country again It'll be kind of formidable but you know in the past has never really worked out at least from the Japanese perspective Yeah exactly Anyway so Don was real hyped about that and he then so um.. I'll send him a follow-up email You know conversation has been opened

Christopher Buckley Internet Predictions, Luddite Speechwriting History

Christopher Buckley, a former speechwriter for George H.W. Bush, admitted to his poor track record of predicting technological trends, having once claimed the internet would never be profitable. Buckley also joked about his past skepticism regarding the fax machine. Despite his history in high-level political communications, his son describes him as a "Luddite" who avoids modern technology like text messaging.

15:41 You recall that the father of the bride, Christopher Buckley who is no longer married to my cousin but of course they're still both parents. That he had said some 25 years ago at The Big Family Homestead in Armlock New York when I was all hyped up on the internet. This is... Internet meh! No not meh. He said in front of everybody Yeah, you know that internet thing. That's Don't make me maybe we'll be sending email no one's gonna write for the in it There's no money on the Internet isn't I gonna work? We've got that right Shh didn't want to give him anything

16:24 So as I met his son, who was the bride's brother. Now Connor... This kid he- His admission video to Tufts where he was playing I think Rachmaninoff and solving a Rubik's Cube at the same time? So this is the kind of family I have you can understand why yeah You can understand why I'm the douchebag podcaster! I can't even pronounce Rubik's Cube or armistice for that reason So I said, he said oh have you seen my dad? And I said yeah it's been a long time. This was with his mom and Tina was there we were just chatting a little bit the evening before but I really want to remind him of how he told me this internet thing would never work out and Connor is 25 or 26 years old so he laughs at it like haha yeah just look at his career how did that work out? Bam! Snap! Nice!

17:15 He says, my dad is the biggest Luddite in the world. He doesn't even text! And this is a guy who was speechwriter for... I think didn't he write for George H Bush? I think he HW. Yeah that's where Don met him and that's how Lucy met him It's all very incestuous Washington DC So I did get my chance to say Hi to him He's the groom? No, to the father of the bride. Christopher Buckley! I got a chance to say hi to him and remind him about what he had said And what did you say? Well first of all I said hey Christopher congratulations and he looked at me like he doesn't know who i am and I said it's Adam Curry and he took my head in his hands and said oh my god

18:07 Oh my god, Adam it's so good to see you. You look like someone who just won the Nobel Peace Prize for physics! I'm not quite sure why he said that. And then he kisses me, and says... Because you're wearing a tux? Yeah! You look like a little Swedish. And yeah, then he's like oh how is it going? I said yes quick quick quick. He goes Christopher, you're busy tonight but i did just want to remind you when you told me that the internet would be nothing would come of it and no money would be made and it was basically a dumb idea. And he looks at me says Yes, I remember But I also said the fax machine would never work. He says, he says, I'm really the worst guy at predicting anything so... Okay that was nice i'm glad he at least copped to it

18:51 But then we had... I'm glad he copped you, but what he should have said was if you presented him with that. He says yeah, yeah it is finally caught up to it's a piece of crap Well well I wanted I wanted to talk more with him. He said oh I really need to speak with you Of course We didn't talk anymore, but we will we will I have his snail mail address I'll send him a postcard Remember Air Mail? Yeah, I still have it. It was just a piece of paper with stickums on it and you wrote on the paper and it was the envelope at the same time. Air Mail envelopes... I think everyone who now listens to this show—and maybe we should do this too—get some of those old Air Mail stickers or write AIR MAIL right across the envelope for everything you send! For everything you send yeah, Air Mail.

Buckley and Kennedy Family Union, Political Dynasty Intermarriage

The marriage of Kat Buckley and her groom represented a rare union between two of America's most prominent political dynasties: the Buckleys and the Kennedys. The Maid of Honor, a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy named Kick Kennedy, noted the irony of the staunchly Republican and Democratic families joining through marriage. The event drew comparisons to historical royal marriages used to consolidate power between rival factions.

19:47 What was interesting, of course in this is we had the father of the bride. He does his speech you know the uber-uber Republican You cannot get more Republican than Buckley and he's cracking jokes! And he must have made five Jeb jokes particularly it started off when he had...you know like he was saying something and then he paused and then no one clapped or he said please clap That got quite an applause from the Obama-backed crowd. And, you know, he had beautiful words to say and he choked up and it was perfect. I mean it was picture, picture perfect like everything else in the wedding was picture perfect but then something very bizarre happened...is it The Matron of Honor? The Maid of Honor? The Bride's Best Friend? David Morgan 3 The Maid of Honor is the bride's henchman. John Ligato Yes, The Maid of Honor

20:38 And she gets up to talk, and she's about the same age—millennial. And...and uh…she says well you know really the only thing that Cat and I have in common is both our grandfathers—no no both our fathers have a F as their middle name. I'm sorry, both our grandfathers have an F as their middle name because of course we had William F Buckley and my grandfather Robert F Kennedy so this is kick Kennedy This is Robert F. Kennedy's granddaughter, was he an f2? I guess he was yeah and so we just had the most Republican family talking and then the most Democrat family talking that was very bizarre

21:24 That's very bizarre. You were, if this was further back in history you'd be watching some Spanish woman who is related to the crown marrying a French woman so they combined the countries into one Yeah and she was funny She was really funny She had some good stories to tell And she's named after Kathleen Kennedy, who was another dead Kennedy. Did you know about Kathleen Kennedy? I lost count... She was Robert and John's sister and she died tragically in a plane crash and her nickname was Kick. I'd never even heard of her which is just interesting

Washington D.C. Insider, Smith-Mundt Act and Government Propaganda

A high-level Washington D.C. insider expressed interest in the technical aspects of global broadcasting and the legal implications of the Smith-Mundt Act. The repeal of certain provisions in the act now allows the U.S. government to disseminate propaganda domestically. The individual, who represents international broadcasters, discussed the challenges of reaching audiences in regions with limited internet access, such as parts of Africa and the Middle East.

24:04 but I did not ask her. She's the bride, um... The evening before at the dessert and drinks a guy came up to me and he says wait you're Adam Curry right? This is it turns out he's 61. He looked like he was my age. A guy looked really good just you know almost a George Rappard kind of but not sickly tanned but you know No wrinkles. White hair? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, that is a really beautiful Italian wife from DC the DC insiders and he might as well have assigned DC insider stuck on his forehead but he beeline to me at least that's what it felt like and that was observed at this dessert and drinks thing

24:48 And I'd say, yeah Adam Curry. He said yeah and I couldn't place him but he was obviously from the bride's family some connection that i didn't know. He says well don't you know so-and-so who started up MTV with Bob Pittman? I said nah I really kind of came at the last days of Pittman so I don't know many people and then he's talking... this podcast, you know. And he says what are you doing? I'm working on podcasting stuff. I'm a podcaster and he's like it's very interesting but because I represent a lot of broadcasters around the world and now I'm like uh-huh

25:27 And, you know it's very hard for them to come up with good quality and he was very interested in this. He does these radio stations that you can listen through a phone line which apparently 40% of the world there is no way they can get online, you know they can't stream audio. So I think one of his companies he may be an investor i'm not sure yet... He uh you know that company takes thousands of radio stations or radio streams and then puts it into a system so people in Africa or other countries Middle East who may not have adequate internet they can just call into a phone number and then put on their speaker and listen and of course when you really think about is not that much different from streaming

26:13 Audio directly, you know the a over IP right although the DNA and the quality of the quality is there's some differences. Yes So he's talking about you know these broadcasters in Africa they need no better equipment Don't think an ultimate podcast device like yeah, I'll sell you a couple of those as an Africans. Yeah, what'd she get going on? And then, you know I said yeah it's very interesting. He talked about Voice of America and I said yeah well of course Voice of America now is propaganda and he says yes Smith-Muntt! I'm like what? Yeah Smith-Muntt was overturned... There is only one other person in the universe who I know would even bring this up anywhere and that's my partner and your now all of a sudden talking about the Smith-Muntt Act which was repealed which now allows the United States government to propagandize its own citizens even if it's accidental

27:04 Yeah, yeah. I know all about that." And so we said well we should definitely talk then at the dinner he beelines to me Adam! Adam! Wow man...I had no idea looked you up and was like you're the real deal You're the proto-podcaster. He didn't say that but might as well have And I said, we really need to talk. So he comes over you in the first place because probably somebody told him to or something like that? Well this is my question... If you said he'd beelined then he had to be told to go... But he was not introduced, he belined to me and then in the evening and he was way over on the other side, he belines

27:47 Very flattering by the way, extremely flattering for somebody to say I looked you up. You're the real deal! You got your visionary your visionary! Yeah let me tell you a quick story on this side...I'm at this big event in Vegas and there's this beautiful woman across just the same exact situation you're dealing with here she beelines right to me and she says can you introduce me to Bill McCrone? Okay It wasn't quite that bad. Hmm, so he's done his research You know and he's now spouting this you've got to come to DC I'd love for you know to sit down and meet

28:31 And I said, yeah. Tina's not been to D.C., and I'd love to come." It used to be really cool when Don was really in the administration he could get a White House tour without a beat. He says, oh what do you want? Oval Office? White House? You wanna meet some people in the Obama Administration? I'll make it happen just tell me when...I might not be able to get you a meeting with the president. Okay, it's alright. I'll take that meeting if he has time so don't worry about it So now I'm like, oh really? Did you look him up? I did. I'm not going to tell you who it is but i will tell you he has a master's and JD from American University and a masters from Berkeley Oh jeez! What I should better say

29:26 Well, oh hold on a sec what happened I was gonna It's uh To me that was like mmm now. I definitely need to I Definitely need to take this meeting because this guy is going to be one of them you know spot the spook spot the spook Everybody wants to do the pop quiz. But so anyway, somebody tipped him off to begin with So he took the beeline and talked with you for a little bit You were interesting enough that he left To go look you up Yes That's kind of the giveaway If you're at a wedding I don't know if I'm at a... Somebody was looking you up Wow! I'm telling ya Either I have my new handler This is my new best friend It's very possible

30:12 Yeah, could be. But I'm taking that meeting! I'm going to DC. I'd be crazy not too. Crazy not too. Yeah and so... I'll start looking for a backup host. Thanks. Oh, two Brutus? Dang. Dang. Um yeah, so you know that was truly bizarre but i can't wait to find out more about uh about that at least if you want to meet the twerp I saw the twerp on TV this morning. No, and she looked orange like Trump! That was kind of interesting Susan Rice when we refer to the twerp Susan Rice She's looking for a job in the Trump administration So everybody who is dead against it they all had this hatred that it's crazy. I don't know Hatred of Trump mm-hmm It's like I'm listening to Deutsche Welle more than usual and

German Media Perception, Bernie Sanders as a Leftist

German media outlet Deutsche Welle characterized Bernie Sanders as a "resilient rival leftist" in its coverage of the Democratic primary. The reporting highlights how international news organizations frame the American political spectrum, specifically focusing on Sanders' socialist policies compared to European standards.

31:51 Alright. There's a report, the other one from Deutsche Welle which is the... see if you can see it should be a report on Donald Trump and rap or something like that.

Yeah, I read this morning...I read the headline something and he was talking crazy Is this his current butler or is it a former butler? No no no, this is some old butler The headline is Trump's Butler so do you think its his current butler obviously

32:40 Well, the way they play it on Democracy Now is guilt by association and that kind of story because they're afraid of Trump too. I don't know what everyone's afraid of but anyway we played Trump's butler Meanwhile, the Secret Service says it will investigate Donald Trump's former butler over a Facebook post in which he referred to President Obama as a, quote, Kenyan fraud and called for him to be hanged. Anthony Senecal worked for Donald Trump for nearly 30 years. Trump's campaign has said it disavows Senegal statements. I just remembered by one of my cousins, you know and she's pretty level. She has a big-ass job at marketing and Big retailer and but I like her a lot.

Anthony Weiner Documentary, Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton

A new documentary detailing the political scandal surrounding Anthony Weiner is being released at a critical time for the Hillary Clinton campaign. The film features behind-the-scenes footage of Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, who is Clinton's closest aide. Critics suggest the timing of the release could create unwanted distractions and negative associations for the Democratic frontrunner.

33:43 Can you guess what it was? His hair. No, no she said I cannot believe that he talked about his daughter like he wanted to date her! Oh yeah. Like did you see the clip? She says yeah i think so... Did you see the whole thing that what the context was? No but still you could never say that! Okay..I don't know if I got through to her but you know it's really and man there's stuff going on right now against Hillary. How many documentaries are out right now? Ten?! We've got the Clinton cash, we've got this new one about Anthony Wiener... The Anthony Wiener scandal was one of the strangest political episodes of our time This documentary with extraordinary behind-the-scenes footage dredges it all up

34:33 all up again at the worst possible time for Hillary Clinton and her closest aide. Worst? How many women were there, can you remember? What I would like to talk about is housing in the Bronx any questions about that? For Congressman Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's closest aide and constant presence at her side new documentary about his sordid political tale couldn't come in a worse time. Couldn't come at a worse time Well, I'm spending a lot even though you can't say spending time It's just you try to put in the back of your head and but before I go in that direction I have to back up back to your stories because I did interrupt You said you will follow up on something That was at the dinner at the party and then I took off into another track and you never finished. That's thought Chat room may have to help by can't follow-up on

Democrats Abroad Convention, Bernie Sanders Support in Berlin

The Democrats Abroad global convention held in Berlin resulted in a significant victory for Bernie Sanders, who secured nine of the eleven available delegates. American expats living in Europe expressed strong support for Sanders' "democratic socialist" policies, which they find more aligned with European social systems. Despite Sanders' success abroad, many attendees acknowledged that Hillary Clinton remains the likely nominee.

democrats abroad· berlin· bernie sanders· delegates· expats

35:28 Said well, I'm just something in double blah. I have to follow up on this and then I interrupted you with Maybe it was about the the new four-star general and in Korea. I'm gonna fall over done on that We talked about that before he brought that we said that okay? Well, we don't remember your show When I listen to the show remember what I said Anyway, now I interrupted you again. I'm sorry no it's okay I was waiting for you to finally give us your Deutsche Well a clip that we've been waiting for well I think is this day okay? So I didn't even know this took place but the Democrats have a convention in Berlin The American Democrats yeah, huh

36:10 Yeah, and at that convention I think they have something like 11 or 13 or 9. There's 19 delegates that will go to the regular conventions that come out of this convention. It's all the expats from all over the world they meet in Berlin. Excellent. And I think this is at the end of this, I think they throw that little kicker in there but this is a good little rundown Democrat convention in Berlin It looks like America and sounds like America But we're actually at the headquarters of Germany's Social Democratic Party as the Democrats abroad get together for their global convention There are 13 delegates up for grabs and the overwhelming majority are for the so-called democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. Bernie's older brother Larry says that is not surprising. His policies, domestic policies in particular free of universal health care paid leave from work for various reasons very close to what people experience in European countries

37:09 Most of those present are pretty certain Hillary Clinton will get the nomination. They can live with that, as long as the Democrats stay in power The convention's German hosts are full of praise for Obama's achievements over the past seven years. You have achieved a lot as Democrats in the last years and you can be very proud of that But there is one person threatening to spoil the party, Donald Trump. Could a populist billionaire really become president of the United States of America? For me as well, it is a wonder that someone who bears so many characteristics of a carnival barker, a narcissistic carnival barker could come this far. It would be the worst thing in the world and I might not want to ever go back to the United States. I might just stay in Mexico and that'd be hard because my family's in the states. Oh, so hard!

38:07 But when it comes down to it, most here are sure that Clinton will win the election in November. Even if the Democrats abroad are throwing their weight behind Sanders for now giving him nine of their eleven delegates. Huh... huh... interesting This guy seems to be winning somehow, even though he's losing. It's very odd when I see 25 thousand people in a stadium and another 15 thousand outside but you only see a picture somewhere on the blog because it is not being shown anywhere. It's pretty typical. BBC has a big article today about headline A Trump Presidency Has Americans Looking North

Celebrity Relocation Threats, Trump Presidency and Canada

Several high-profile celebrities, including Lena Dunham, Cher, and Miley Cyrus, have publicly stated they will leave the United States if Donald Trump is elected president. Google searches for moving to Canada spiked following Trump's primary victories. Critics view these statements as repetitive "rerun" stories that appear during every major election cycle.

lena dunham· cher· miley cyrus· canada· donald trump

38:48 And Google searches for how can I move to Canada spiked after Mr. Trump won seven out of 11 primaries and then there's... This is not a new story, of course they've been playing this up for some reason. No they keep doing it yeah so now we're... There's a rerun, I call these rerun stories and you have to wonder why there's been a couple of them in the news. Because they're out of ideas! And listen who the celebretties are Lena Dunham of Girls Raven Simone formerly The Cosby Family and The View She says, I'm gonna move to Canada with my entire family. I already have my ticket! No, I literally booked my ticket, I swear! Cher says if he were to be elected i'm moving to Jupiter John Stewart says... Florida! John Stewart says I would consider getting in a rocket and going to another planet because clearly this planets gone bonkers. I'm a little sick of John Stewart actually with his holier-than-thou bearded like somewhere between Clooney and Letterman attitude

39:48 And he's, what is he? Putting together a farm with his wife for abused animals. That's great! But... He's not really doing the work anymore. He's really just all bot. Yeah I'm disappointed. Yeah me too. I mean it has some little production aspect to do with the Colbert show. It's got some angle on that. And John Oliver show and you've got little pieces of him. A little bit of John Oliver. And, uh... Let's see. So Whoopi Goldberg of course says maybe it's time for me to move You know I can afford to go Good Miley Cyrus-I'm moving if this is my president Well this may actually be the benefit here! It's a huge benefit! A lot of people are going to start voting Trump and just get rid of some of these people Where is Barbara Streisand? Oh, she said something, I'm sure She said she was gonna move with George Bush got reelected and didn't Did you hear the new London mayor about Trump

CHAPTER 17 / 49 Discussion

Sadiq Khan Election, London Mayor and Sharia Law Concerns

The election of Sadiq Khan as the first Muslim mayor of London has sparked intense debate regarding liberal tolerance and the influence of Islam in European capitals. While supporters see it as a victory for unity over fear, critics express concerns about the potential for Sharia law and the demographic shifts in major Western cities. Khan succeeded Boris Johnson, taking over the administration of the UK's capital.

sadiq khan· london· muslim mayor· boris johnson· sharia law

40:46 Didn't know the the new guy took over from Boris Johnson. Yeah, and if you want I'll be happy to read the text I received from my uber British friend Michelle You know the one with the nightclubs with a strip with the strip clubs all right right this trip club guy I sent him a note actually this was This was think before the previous show when I said I'll read it to you verbatim Hey, I'm prepping for the show. What's the vibe on London's new mayor? Are you ready? Ready for this? Okay... An elected- I'll do the accent! An elected Muslim question mark question mark question mark in the bastion of democracy liberal tolerance no booze No birds Sharia law conquer from within breed your way into governance What does the Queen think?! I have a Muslim in charge of her capital city

41:33 What would Richard the Lionheart say to the Moors governing England's capital city? Washington next or New York! What happened to free speech, the right to dislike things and express? Or is that discrimination against our freedom of opinion?" I guess he's not so happy with the new mayor of London. And that may be a sentiment amongst this type of British subject I wouldn't be surprised, but they voted him in. Yeah? Muslim population that could be rather large you know Could be rather large. Be quiet Book of Knowledge! Here's what my concern would be if i was over there and In London and he got elected And I looked over at the polling that always comes out and it was like

42:20 99% of the Muslims all voted for him. Yeah, sure that's how it works That's a problem if this was happening everywhere in Europe. It's in Rotterdam is a Muslim mayor And it's mayors. It's very smart, they're doing mayors and maybe you know what if the population is that's the majority of the population at least who are coming out and voting? You get exactly what you deserve so I have no problem with it The hypocrisy though... You know like the way the game is normally played in a democracy as you vote for the best candidate If you're a Muslim you just don't vote for guy just because There's a special place in hell for Muslims who don't vote for Muslims

CHAPTER 18 / 49 Discussion

Sadiq Khan vs. Donald Trump, Mainstream Muslims and Liberal Values

London Mayor Sadiq Khan criticized Donald Trump's views on Islam as "ignorant," arguing they risk alienating "mainstream Muslims." Khan, a member of the Labour Party and a self-described feminist, claims that Western liberal values are fully compatible with Islam. He has publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton and positioned himself as a counter-voice to Trump's rhetoric regarding Muslim immigration.

sadiq khan· donald trump· mainstream muslims· feminism· hillary clinton

43:00 Oh wait, that was Hillary with women. I'm sorry The hypocrisy of this guy is quite astounding You've been talking about Donald Trump quite a bit just in the past couple of days It's a hot topic in the United States for obvious reasons And you've been quoted as saying that defeating Donald Trump is now personal Can you elaborate on that? Look it's quite clear to me from my experience during my campaign That my conservative opponent sought to divide communities here in London Here in a campaign that was a politics of fear. And what's quite clear from Londoners last Thursday with the overwhelming mandate that I received is London chose hope over fear, London chose unity over division

43:44 The reality is, I'm quite clear in my mind that Western liberal values are compatible with mainstream Muslims. Interesting he's saying a couple of things here that are noteworthy He uses the term which i do no believe has been used Mainstream Muslims Have you heard the... I don't think i've heard this term specifically from any politician. Mainstream? I think you've caught something there. And mainstream, would the mainstream not mean the majority? Do we have data? If someone is not mainstream, ie., the mainstream being love peace and unity and harmony which sure but i'm willing to buy that's the mainstream what do you call the non-mainstream

44:31 alternative media, wrong incorrect media. Podcasters? Right you know so what is if you say mainstream for Muslims you can't say alternative Muslims you can't say you know Wrong Muslims, maybe that would be the right phrase. So there's a new one in here so it says mainstream Muslim which this girl from MSNBC messes up later in another interesting way. That Western liberal values are compatible with mainstream Muslims I didn't decide to stand for office to be Donald Trump's nightmare but what I make with respect to Donald Trump and those advising him is I think that your views on Islam are ignorant

45:11 I think yes, it is the case that there are a small number of criminals terrorists who do really bad things and really horrible things. And seek to justify their acts of terror in the name of Islam. Has this gentleman has he looked across that little pond there at Calais? At the Muslims who are being kept in tents pooping in the mud climbing over barbed wire And you're complaining about something Donald Trump said, whereas your entire union is marginalizing mainstream Muslims of all people. And of course there may be one or two bad apples but please, pot kettle what are you talking about? But the vast majority of Muslims not just in London but around the world are peaceful A vast

46:09 I gotta understand the terminology. I think this is very, very poor showing of this London mayor He needs some words that mean something. Law-abiding They love being Muslim Many of us love being Western Many of us love America and Americans Many of us So it's vast many mainstream My worry is by Donald Trump and his advisors giving the impression That western liberal values are incompatible with Muslims And Islam You're inadvertently Playing to the hands of the extremists who say that Islam and the West are not compatible. Mayor Khan Not only called those views ignorant, he also said that they were risky that they risk alienating Mainstream Muslims mayor khan is a liberal. Sorry you talking me?

46:53 Yeah, what is she saying? He's back her up. Why didn't she get those quotes She's got the guy blabbering about nothing half the time and then she says he also said there's ignorant And she starts listing off this well. I hear that he said ignorant in the beginning. He did say ignorant It was at the very beginning wasn't it wasn't it kind of muffled the West compatible mayor Mayor Kahn not only called those views ignorant, he also said that they were risky. That they risk alienating... That part we didn't hear you're correct. Mainstream... I don't want to hear it! No! I don't want to hear her saying it Well because maybe she didn't get it but it gets better. But then she's making it up

47:29 Could be. Mainstream Muslims, Mayor Khan is a liberal he's a member of the Labour Party He supported same-sex marriage despite threats from Muslim extremists Islamic extremists OOBS! So she went with the Muslim mainstream Muslims and then she said Muslim extremists which would be even worse than Islamic extremists or jihadists or whatever Well in terms of keeping the memes in the right... Exactly, but that only highlights the bogativity of mainstream Muslims. What does that mean? They were bitching about his position on same-sex marriage was it one person? And were they mainstream? Makes sense two or thousands we don't know Is a liberal he's a member of the Labour Party He supported same sex marriage

48:23 despite threats from Muslim extremists, Islamic extremists excuse me in this country and he's a self-described feminist who backs Hillary Clinton. A feminist? He is a feminist John! I don't think we... you certainly don't look too kindly upon men who call themselves feminists It's bullcrap it's like the men will call themselves lesbians This is like a bogus attempt to get a date with some dummy Yeah. So this guy's looking for a date or what? I don't know, but I don't know what he's looking for but it's keeping my eye on him He is a feminist! I'm a feminist we're gonna get along just great That about sums it up think you're right

CHAPTER 19 / 49 Discussion

Caitlyn Jenner Transition, Kardashian Family Marketing Strategy

Skeptics suggest that Caitlyn Jenner's public transition may be a calculated financial move orchestrated by the Kardashian family "cabal" to maintain media relevance. Observers note that Jenner has not attempted to modify her voice, a common step in gender transition. Claims have also surfaced that Jenner's physical changes may be the result of specific plastic surgery side effects rather than standard transition procedures.

caitlyn jenner· kris jenner· kardashians· transgender· marketing

49:18 Yeah, it's a douchebag to say that. Anybody who says- any male who says he is a feminist... Unless he is like transitioning or transgendered but there something going on where he has become a woman. That's fine! We might as well go right into that Okay, well let's see what I got on my list. Caitlyn Jenner man! We gotta go straight into Caitlyn Jenner How can you avoid this? Oh yes we've got a lot of notes on Twitter and elsewhere You probably have them on Facebag Yes And um... Yeah well we nailed it Now there are couple things that i learned Now, we...you started. We predicted this when it all started and your theory was what we adhere to this is about a big book deal the movie and then the reality show of course that's not doing so well but we have a big Sports Illustrated coming out she supposed to be wearing his medals scantily clad and now we're hearing you know we figured the best the best yes the best

50:18 Gambit if you will was to reverse and we talked about this quite extensively. We should find out what shows Yeah, it was one of those things we if you listen to the show You know that these things come on to the show as an element of the show We did we deconstructed on-the-spot in real time And we said go on that show thinking I was gonna come up with that thought I did But not quite the way you had it with the book deal But that came from, because we have listeners who are in transition or transgender. They are very valuable to the intelligence network And I think we've saved a lot of them from, you know... or they say, oh you saved me because i'm thinking a little differently about my position and when if... Well, I'm not quite sure how that works either but we did. It doesn't matter as to the show. I think it has to do with the analysis and showing that the bullshit that comes out is a lot of effects people adversely yes and we kind of try to cure that

51:17 So I think i said one or two shows ago, so I'm not even convinced because now you know there's talk of he's going to de-transition. You're not convinced of any of it? You think the whole thing is bogus? Yes well... He hasn't done anything yet! And yes and I'm gonna tell you right now exactly how I know this. From our listeners from our producers our audience, first of all we got a lot pushback saying, hey the guy is not even trying to transition his voice. And that is...you know everyone's different but that appears to be pretty much you know across the board it seems to be what men transitioning to women want to do and they start working on their voice and she has...Kaitlyn has done no work

52:06 Might as well talk like this while smoking a cigar. And so I've been looking at some other anomalies, and I'm pretty good at this! I looked at Sheryl Crow the other day and she's always wearing bell bottoms...I bet you she's an Oompa Loompa And she's, yeah it turns out she's five foot two. You know so I can see the tricks. Maybe because of her ankles? Yeah and i said uh on the show is that I don't even think the breasts are real. I don't think Bruce Jenner got implants when becoming Caitlyn from one of our producers now this is not a one of our transgender producers...I don't think..it could be! I don't know doesn't matter oh Adam

52:48 I thought you knew. Those are not breasts! My friend worked at the Los Angeles plastic surgeon's office that routinely had to remove both Bruce Jenner and Kenny Rogers quote, breasts that result when you have liposuction on your torso The fat displaces once you stop of that procedure Eureka! You get breasts not implants Your keen eye impresses was the final parting word there And I think that's true. I don't think he has breasts, he already had pecs as a guy...as an athlete he had pecs and I think maybe even recalled that he had or maybe all those oh he was in there to shave his Adam's apple maybe it was just lipo! And then stopping the fatty tissue moving up into his breasts

53:43 I'm not going to say that this isn't the case. From all evidence so far indicates that this is something of one of the Kardashian... The Kardashian cabal, the cabal! The Kardashian cabal with a genius behind it One of the women, the older ladies Yeah Chris, the momager Chris Jenner. Yeah, she yeah and this was a scheme to And with all acted all the oh I can't believe he did this and all the rest of it It's just it's just a money-making Scheme that He wanted to get a little more attention there all these girls were doing their best job they were doing great

54:24 You know, and everyone hanging around him doing fine. They get a lot of publicity He felt like the idiot that kept walking in the scenes Yes! Here I am, hi, oh hi dad Hey move, the camera's shot. You're in my line So he had to do something and she met with the mom who's the genius, and she says well here's what we can do. I've got this...I've been thinking about this for a while now just listen don't say anything until you're finished And then you can tell me what you think. Then she laid it out and said okay I'm all in on that. Oh, oh before...I just remembered the groom at the wedding he's a he's at Morgan Stanley finance and the family finance a lot of brosips and finance good-looking guys all in finance

CHAPTER 20 / 49 Discussion

Donald Trump Tax Returns, Hillary Clinton Speech Transcripts

Donald Trump's refusal to release his tax returns is viewed by some as a strategic "red herring" designed to bait Hillary Clinton. If Trump eventually releases his taxes and they prove unremarkable, he can use the momentum to demand Clinton's unreleased Goldman Sachs speech transcripts. There is speculation that these transcripts may not even exist in a formal capacity, potentially creating a significant hurdle for the Clinton campaign.

donald trump· hillary clinton· tax returns· goldman sachs· transcripts

55:13 And I was talking to one of them, and of course politics came up. And you know, that thing was about Trump or today... You know this guy, Trump knows what he's doing. He probably has his taxes ready to show which is gonna wait until Hillary goes completely nuts and say oh well here- I want to stop ya? Yeah. Is that this would be something we're not going to put in the book but i think it should be in the book? It could be in the book uh I think you're dead on on this. This taxes thing looks like a red herring, it looks like a setup! It's so obvious now to me. Because he made such a big statement, oh i don't think i need to show my taxes to anybody And and and i love the way... You know? It's none of your business when the question was is the voters business no not really it's not a requirement it's just not it's not a necessity

56:00 But it doesn't matter. Where's the list of qualifications that makes him unqualified not to show the taxes, but he's going to show you I think you're right is gonna show below roll attacks are they can be boring and so I said yeah it's gonna be boring you're gonna see whatever it is and he's gonna turn around and say now where your transcripts? And then I looked at guy and I said there are no transcripts because there were no speeches It was just checks in the guy looks me goes holy crap how did I miss that I think that is going to be a problem. It's a long game, yeah. It's gotta be! He's not gonna roll him out and then he's gonna do... That's actually great flip. Actually they use that as leverage for the transcripts which you're right. Everyone who listens this show has to agree because if you nailed it there are no transcripts. We know exactly what the transcript would be

56:55 Oh, you're important. Blah blah blah. You this you that oh great g- rah rah I mean how horrible could she not if she did a speech She's not saying hey we really stuck it to those fucking peasants in 2008 didn't we? No she's not saying that! It's not gonna be super embarrassing anything she said We've only heard one or two people off the record say well was kind of... I'm sure she did one or two speeches But what is it 25 how many are supposed to be uh How many is she supposed have done I think her and her husband did 150 million dollars worth or something last year. And then, I don't know lots but she's a boring speaker and... She is very boring! ...any speeches for the Goldman Sachs are writing one up now and they just have to make sure that... Oh yeah we'll get one sure we got one Yeah here is the transcript it just the transcript was written by Uma Abedin over the last couple of months Let's go back to the LGBTQIAP thing

CHAPTER 21 / 49 Discussion

Department of Education Guidance, Transgender Student Bathroom Rights

The U.S. Department of Education and Department of Justice issued a "Dear Colleague" letter providing guidance on the treatment of transgender students under Title IX. The document defines "gender identity" as an individual's internal sense of gender, which may differ from their sex assigned at birth. Schools are advised to allow students access to facilities, including bathrooms and locker rooms, that align with their gender identity to ensure an inclusive environment.

title ix· department of justice· transgender· bathroom policy· josh earnest

57:53 And just all the coverage that kept coming through on The Transom over the past couple of days. It's so... we are so pathetic and I've been, having listened you know to SiriusXM 127 progressive you know, Michelangelo Signorelli. This... You know people don't agree at this bathroom thing what bathroom can you use? People don't agree and it's okay but I'm going to think-I'm going to state that big gay has pushed this they are pushing then it's not even transgendered people who are pushing it It's male homosexuals They are pushing and they're the ones that are just outraged and just want to just RAAAGH! And its come to this head where now we look like a moron country

58:38 Where can you poop? It boggles the mind. And somehow, if you're transgendered you have the right to any bathroom you want... If you're not transgendered, you don't! So where are the equal, I don't know. It's just driving me crazy. Here is... They're getting, well let me interrupt again. They're getting way, if you watch that I've been doing the three by three and if you watch these stations they are starting off their newscasts with this. Yes! It's outrageous how much coverage it's getting. I'm going to have to listen to Gay USA or whatever that show is

59:14 And I can figure out which of the... It's called The Michelangelo Signorelli Show. But it might as well be called Gay USA, yes! But it's so ...I don't hear ...I pay attention to all anything. I listen to my daughter you know but trying to who can I listen to? Who else is complaining about this? Most really only and primarily white gay men And they're so angry at Republicans and they're so angry, because we want a cake. It's because of the cake stuff that these laws came up with. Then the president does something very bizarre... ...and comes out with it. It is not a directive from him or a presidential directive I despise reporting on this! It is from the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division

1:00:08 And it is titled Dear Colleague Letter on Transgendered Students Notice of Language Assistance. They got in a whole bunch of language, and you know they have some terminology... ...and if you don't mind just- this is about Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 Yes, which has ruined everything. So I'll just...I just want to run through a few pieces of this because I don't see anyone even reading anything from the document that says Obama's presidential directive. No, a presidential directive PD is very specific document and that's not what this is! This is not a directive. This is a colleague letter. Okay couple of definitions which are important for us to understand in this conversation we have

1:01:01 Terminology. Gender identity refers to an individual's internal sense of gender a person's gender identity may be different from or the same as the person's sex assigned at birth so I would be male sex assigned at birth because that is the next piece of terminology Sex-assigned at birth refers to the sex designation recorded on an infants' birth certificate should such a record be provided at birth. That even is removed from the actual biology, but okay... And transgender describes those individuals whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth So as an example of transgendered male or someone who identifies as male But was assigned the sex of female at birth A transgender female or someone who identifies as female was assigned the sex and male at birth

1:01:53 Without doubt, gender identity refers to how I feel about myself as an individual. But I only have a few choices which this is the part that makes no sense to me If you can only be... and the lumping together of LGBTQ, L-G-B-T-Q-Q-I-A-P. That's impossible for all those letters in the acronym to all feel the same about something but which is also bigoted and you're lumping people together it's very contradictory to what I think these people are trying to achieve

1:02:35 Compliance with Title IX, this is the big deal. As a condition of receiving federal funds... ...a school agrees that it will not exclude, separate, deny benefits to or otherwise treat differently on the basis of sex any person in its educational programs or activities unless expressly authorized to do so under Title IX or its implementing regulations." So already I have a problem because The sex, as a word the sex of a person. It says on the basis of sex any person in... treat differently on the basis of sex of any person that's not defined you mean gender identity or sex assigned at birth they're just throwing out sex so it doesn't really what is it? They didn't define it in this memo So what is sex? Is that the physiology? Is that the biology

1:03:38 I continue, the departments treat a student's gender identity as the students sex which i'm just going to presume they mean sex assigned at birth. for purposes of Title IX and its implementing regulations. This means that a school must not treat a transgender student differently from the way it treats other students of the same gender identity." But they are! Because the transgender student may choose any restroom he or she, or the transgendered gzee desires so they are being treated differently A school may provide- That's an excellent point It's bigoted! Totally bigoted Extra privilege

1:04:22 A school may provide separate facilities on the basis of sex, that would be male and female bathrooms but must allow transgender students to access such facility consistent with their gender identity. I'm okay with that but i should also be able to say it won't but my gender identity today is female. I'm going to use the female restroom! None of this makes any logical sense, any whatsoever, any! And the way it's being handled is even crazier. Listen to The White House Josh Earnest putting his foot in it. The challenge here is not to isolate anybody It's not to discriminate against anybody It's not to make anyone unsafe It's actually to ensure that our schools are as inclusive and respectful

1:05:14 and safe as they can possibly be. And that's why the guidance that we've put forward includes tangible, specific suggestions for how that can be achieved. So let me just give you one example there are some school districts across the country that have sought to enhance the privacy of their students by making relatively minor changes to shared use facilities. In some cases, that means just putting up curtains. Really? People are- have more privacy when they're changing their clothes or taking showers in- Oh man... oh my god What has happened?! What has happened??

1:05:52 What happened to co-ed? What happened to...oh man, this is you people are going to be in certainly in America can be so messed up about their sexual identity. Their gender identity. Maybe that's the idea it is the idea John and I'm putting the blaming Caitlyn Jenner for a lot of this now all this really started with Caitlyn Jenner and the conversation and then I'm all for love and peace and harmony in everything, but this who can use what bathroom? Well. I'm reminded of- This is why i'd like to move to Canada! This is a reason to move to Canada! Oh they'll be doing that up there for sure... eh? Eh?

Bathroom Practicality, Gender Neutrality in Public Spaces

Discussions regarding bathroom access often overlook the practical differences in facility design, such as the efficiency of urinals in men's rooms compared to stalls in women's rooms. Some women already use men's facilities at crowded sporting events to avoid long lines. Personal anecdotes from college dorms highlight the historical discomfort associated with communal, non-private showering facilities.

bathrooms· urinals· gender neutrality· public facilities

1:06:39 They have, I'm reminded of the practicality of bathroom use in most situations. Where you go to a sporting event and women have always been if they want to get into fixing something when you have a man's bathroom which has let's say say five toilets and 10 urinals. And the woman's bathroom has five, maybe six or seven toilets. They really need to have the number of urinals as toilets in a women's bathroom so they can get in and out because if you never notice at a football game or any event there is a long line of women waiting getting into the bathroom and they don't have this same structure to hold it as well and its miserable.

1:07:23 And so smart women who do have, you know the ballsy ones they just go into the men's bathroom. Yes! There is always women in there And so there's a couple gals in the bathroom, you know in the toilet. They're obviously not using the urinal but they're in there and they come out and go what da? And then leave and nobody gives a crap! You just get shocked by it when you see it but its like... What's wrong with that?! When I was in college all three months The dorm, the shower had no doors It's all dudes walking around and I'm not particularly. I was not very really Particularly comfortable with it because I have what is known as a pop and grow so you know I look like I'm really really pathetic I'm being honest But if we do now, I haven't heard the women complain go on well pop and grow he's there

Nancy Pelosi on Transgender Rights, Identity Labels

Nancy Pelosi defended the federal guidance on transgender students, framing it as a protection of existing civil rights. The policy has faced significant pushback from state officials, including the Attorney General of Texas. Critics argue that requiring individuals to "identify" or label themselves to access specific rights is inherently contradictory to the goal of living without discrimination.

1:08:23 Operative. Yeah, I don't need the details of that go on with your story. All right here's a Nancy Pelosi lying Hold on why did she all of sudden go mono once you go mano on me let me fix that yeah Pelosi can i even do that? I don't know if we can make it mono anymore Just listen to it in mono and one channel To the schools across the country the Justice Department and the Department of Education It is nothing new It is nothing new. It is just a guidance to the schools We're talking about transgender people and we're protecting their rights to participate as they identify Well, there you go Their rights that protecting their rights to identify As they identify Yet whatever that means I don't have that right? I guess well

1:09:21 Do I have to declare myself? Do I have to say, I'm 100% transgendered or can I say today. I'm feeling a little female Well, I think you've got it yeah, I think your complaint should be with your attorney general There in Texas the guy who went ballistic oh that guy's an a-hole Yeah, he was the education guy what is he who is he no? I think he was like the Attorney General do you ever clip from him No, I didn't get a clip from it. You're just spouting off like a douchebag! There you go... But really taking it... Of course this is a local issue for everybody but still have we gone insane? We've gone insane This problem will not persist or maybe it will I don't know I'm like I have no words for it I have NO WORDS FOR IT Maybe part of that's my European upbringing but I'm not only seeing bigotry I'm just seeing idiocy

1:10:24 You cannot explain to me how you have to wear it. Let's put it this way, in the United States of America the vibe now, the vibe in general from people... What is that? Did you just hit the bell? No! That wasn't me. What was that? That was crazy I don't know what that was. Something you're doing. You have to actually label yourself before you can have this so-called right Isn't that inherently wrong Like I have to say, hold on. I'm trans! Isn't the whole point that you can just live your life? You should be wearing some sort of an identifier like a badge How about a yellow star it's always my favorite! You're stepping on my joke It's MY punchline and i've delivered it

1:11:17 Oh man. But that's, yeah! That's exactly it. Everyone is going to have to have some sort of a label. Let's label everybody. Yes and you have to have it on...somewhere you have to identify though it's right in the suggested conduct. Identify. You have to identify Apparently you can't identify privately. Alright, I'm done with that. I'm sick of it Well play the pet peeve thing then Ah, might as well Adam C Curry's Pet Peeve of the Day Moving right along i think its time to say in the morning to you John C where the c stands for connect the dots Dvorak!

No Agenda Art, NickTheRat's Hat Trick

Artist NickTheRat has achieved a "hat trick" by providing the cover art for three consecutive episodes of the No Agenda program. His work has also been featured in the show's newsletter and recent clip shows. The hosts encouraged other artists in the community to submit their work to provide competition for the dominant contributor.

No Agenda Value-for-Value, Producer Donations and Birthdays

The No Agenda show operates on a value-for-value model, relying entirely on listener contributions rather than traditional advertising. Executive Producer Sir Robert Alter and several Associate Executive Producers provided financial support for episode 825. Listeners also contributed notes regarding Al Gore's comments on climate change and celebrated personal milestones, including Jim Carlson's 70th birthday.

value-for-value· donations· executive producer· al gore· climate change

1:12:56 might have already figured out if you're a new listener, if you were in the wedding party yesterday. You probably aren't listening anymore but we don't take any advertisements or anything. All I noticed...I listened to it did you hear the show that he told us about at the wedding party? Yeah! I listened to it you know I couldn't get past The Trump love. He keeps talking so boring. Podcasts are no good These podcasts are no good and it's so hard to listen to. Yeah, but you can stop it and fast forward. Listen at double speed! Anyway, so we live solely and survive solely by what the producers afford to us. And that is in many cases research information inside information intelligence background clips links stories knowledge knowledge and experience Knowledge and experience is very big in our network. This is the most important thing. And finance

1:13:54 So we have our producers and we like to treat them the same that Hollywood does in this case as executive producers or associate executive producers. And of course, we have all of our producers in our donation segment and today we kick it off with...what do we have John? We have a single loaner for an executive producer. This was not a great day, by the way. But it wasn't actually as bad as the last show and we do have one two three four associate executive producers but let's start with Sir Robert Alter who became from Kansas City Missouri with $300 is the executive producer for Show... what is it? 825. 825 yes. Eight and a quarter

1:14:37 And he says a note, his note is actually I checked it and looked and his note is nada. So he doesn't care to say anything which is fine with us but we'll give him some karma anyway whether he likes or not You've got karma. Next is Sir Norman Baranet from Woodstock, Ontario California 23456 one of my absolute favorite donations he says keep up your great work like getting by letting us hear that piece of work Al Gore blamed the distress of the people of Fort McMurray on climate change

1:15:17 This comment is brought to you by Today's World Opportunism. May I have a Bill Nye, come on champ! Followed by whoop get out of my and Obozo You Might Die What was the... okay the thing i don't understand Is that Al Gore blamed the distress of people at Fort McMurray On climate change Do you remember? I don't have a clip of it but I believe he did something like that Because I have the clips here, but just okay. It might be that one and then what was the other one he wanted? Come on champ whoopee Okay hold on you might die

1:15:56 That's all? Oh, that seems so easy. Whoopie he wants to be calm obviously but he wants come on champ get out of my vagina and you might die Okay I'll start with this Al Gore thing i hope it's the right one Fiscal stimulus in a coordinated way aimed at infrastructure that the country needs which means decarbonization uh renewable energy batteries storage sustainable parts Now I don't think that's it now I don't think that's it So come on champ show us how tough you are Get out of my vagina You might die You've got karma. I'm a little uh, I'm a little handicapped in the mobile setup with the... Yeah it's funny that's a funny combination The speed of which i can put things together. You might die. I like the way the producers dream these they can kind of hear it in their head and they say I'll bet you that'll sound good yeah get out of my hmmm you might die sucking in soot would be another good follow-up to that

1:16:56 Sir Christopher Grey in Grand Blanc, Michigan 23456 says holy fuck thanks for all your help keeping me sane. Sir Grey You're welcome sir grey and thanks for helping us keep ourselves sane as well Sir Chewy in Laval Quebec 23456 Uh, ITM deconstructors of the MSM from Sir Chewy keep up the Candanavian angle. Thanks for the... we're gonna have to because half our listeners are going to be up there I don't know why. That's exactly it! Thanks for the best podcast in the universe and he's uh yeah okay well i thought How many dollarettes was this? This is 312 dollars 20 cents Dollarettes Dollarettes It's a very nice term

1:17:46 Talk for a second while I go grab the note. Yeah, so I want to thank Sir Chewie. I'm actually going to give him a little bit of karma because he deserves that. You've got karma! Yo yo yo... It's gonna rain here in New York in a minute it's gonna pour. I actually used part of this note in the newsletter. Although didn't do much good. Ah good, good good good This is my third contribution. This is Jim Carlson from Denver 23456 this is my third contribution I've been waiting until my birthday, my 70th and i guess i have to accept it May 12. Could you please put him on the birthday list? Yes okay Jim Carlson may... I regularly listen to your show normally two or three times for all shows so as not to miss all the information

1:18:37 Think it's a show you can probably listen to double listen to yeah, well the gym Jim he was turning his turn 71 70 70 on what date on the 12th 12th okay gotcha all right couple days ago And he was putting it off putting it off. No I have to admit that I'm going to be seven You can't stop it now Jim next stop 71 I enjoy your comments in the news that i don't have the time or the interest in listening to. Your requests for donations do not represent all the hours you spend and present, preparing for two shows per week! Your analysis of clips are great and clearly identify key statements in each clip and what is indeed being said or discussed." That's what they're really saying. Right. Eventually become a knight not my intentions to listening to your great podcast

1:19:35 I don't know what that sentence makes no sense. Keep up the great work for all of us! If you ever have a meeting in the Denver Sanctuary City area, I would like to attend your comments are very necessary to keep us all informed and current. I like that the Zika info is being represented as what it is more political contributions to other than what it is intended. Zika's not the problem that 1.9 billion is going to resolve I like the monies directed toward Ebola. Those who disagree really do not get it Thanks again for the greatest podcast on earth All right, that's James. I'm gonna give him some karma for all that well deserved. You've got karma

TSA Security Delays, Homeland Security Funding Requests

Homeland Security Secretary Jay Johnson is facing criticism as airport security wait times reach record highs across the United States. While officials attribute the delays to increased travel volume and a shortage of Transportation Security Officers (TSOs), Congress has agreed to provide additional funding for hiring. Travelers are currently being advised to arrive at airports at least three hours before their scheduled departures.

tsa· jay johnson· homeland security· airport security· congress

1:20:21 And that's the only, uh...that's it for our Executive and Associate Executives Producer Show. We will have a few more to mention at next break. Yes and of course I'll be back in Austin on Thursday and we'll do another program Did you hear? Oh, okay. Good one. Finish this up because I know you have to fly back and there's a lot of news about that and i think i've figured out why Remember us at Dvorak dot org slash NA! And even though you may not be an exec or associate exec You can always be out there propagating our formula Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Shut Up! Brains

1:21:15 I do want to say before you I do want to say hi to Mary, Mary Greg. She's my cousin's wife live up in Vermont she listens and does she yes And she sat next to me for the dinner and from time to time She'd lean over where she go you're gonna have a fantastic show tomorrow It's gonna be great it's gonna be fantastic You have so much material from tonight I love that girl. Like you are going to have a good, a good time tomorrow." And like what do you mean? With the show! Oh wow thank you yeah well she can see it if she listens to the show she can see material and it's also the only state that never receives chemtrails so maybe she just healthy yeah that'll do

1:22:06 Alright. Alright, what did you want to say about flying? Well there's a big thing going on and I figured out what it-what causes this This is a um... Oh, is this about the lines of TSA? Yeah. The lines of TSA. Yes! Shut up slave! Okay I got them in the right order...I'm going to put them in the right order. I have a number of clips too and depending on what you have we'll see what I need to do. Okay let me do..I can do three maybe but let's do two for sure. TSA story one this is the PBS report on the situation

1:22:42 The US Transportation Security Administration is appealing for patience as travelers face growing security delays at airports. Lines have gotten longer in the face of tighter security procedures and fewer transportation security officers or TSOs At Washington's Reagan National Airport today, the Secretary of Homeland Security Jay Johnson promised corrective action Our job is to keep the American public safe. We're dealing this spring and summer with increased travel volume, which obviously puts an added burden on our TSOs and increased demand on the system but

1:23:19 But we're not going to compromise aviation security in the face of this. Congress agreed this week to inject more money into the TSA, hire more officers and take other steps. In the meantime officials are warning passengers to arrive at least two hours ahead of their flights Jed Johnson, I just want to say it. Jed Johnson is a dick! He's out in three months he only has a couple of months left he does not give a crap he's just showing up like blehblehbleh he's a dick and he's ruined it this guy should be demote- fired don't let him resign fire him It's an atrocity

CHAPTER 27 / 49 Discussion

TSA Intentional Slowdown, PreCheck and Private Security Threats

There is growing suspicion that the current TSA delays are an intentional "slowdown" by the agency to secure more funding and push travelers toward paid services like PreCheck and Clear. Major airports in New York, Atlanta, and Seattle have threatened to replace federal TSA screeners with private security firms due to the inefficiency. Congressman John Mica criticized the agency for failing to adequately prepare the public for the crisis.

tsa· precheck· airport security· john mica· private security

1:24:00 Well, they said three hours and midway. And so see me there? So I listened to all the reports on this and I kind of figured out what was really going on here because it's out of the blue and they don't that she mentions that they have less TSO officers than before they... Yeah because I know what's going on and I read the bill. Do you want me to say what I think or do you want a deconstruction? Yeah, I want you to say what you think. It is my understanding that the timing of everything was there would be so many people using PreCheck and Clear, clear dot me which is now everywhere all over Austin but no one using it No one use in the lines

1:24:36 That they said, oh we can have less staff because we'll have so many people going through the fast lanes. I agree with this and that's what happened if they'd and that is a management blunder on Wall Street you would be out on your ass I don't think that's what the real problem is because this is... they had that cutback some time ago and this result is only recent. Oh, they want more? And of course everyone wants more money! You let this come to a head. Well there's always... they want some more money but I think what we're dealing with here is a slowdown on purpose and I think I know the reason why it's kind of suggested in the CBS story. Well some mysterious audio tapes surfaced today. They were provided to The Washington Post- No no you get the wrong story

1:25:17 Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry wrong CBS you got it. I'm sorry my mistake It was late. That's a good story, I can't wait for that one! Western edition airport lines are getting longer and tempers shorter today the Secretary of Homeland Security promised action at JFK in New York average wait times have nearly doubled to more than 20 minutes but the wait Monday at Chicago's Midway Airport was more than 90 minutes it took the passenger who shot this video so long to find the end of the line We decided to play it in real time as you watch our report from Chris Van Cleve. The long lines at airport checkpoints stretch from coast to coast about as long as the line in Midway must have felt. Many frustrated flyers are using the hashtag I hate the wait to complain about the problem

1:26:12 It's terrible, look at the line. I've never had to do this before. Yesterday in Phoenix it was checked luggage that got waylaid a glitch in TSA The TSA says the checkpoint delays are being caused by about an 8% increase in airline travel and a shortage of security officers. The agency has also intensified its screening process to more carefully monitor all passengers after a federal investigation revealed significant security vulnerabilities I would not characterize it as a national crisis. Today, Secretary of Homeland Security George Johnson outlined plans for hiring more officers and deploying more canine teams to busy airports ahead of the summer travel season when lines could get even longer. Thousands of people have missed flights during this period. Did you do a good enough job preparing people for this new reality? I'm focused on what we do going forward and making sure

1:27:11 that we are focused on this, that we are anticipating. That this has both the personal attention of myself and the TSA administrator." Congressman John Mica sat on the floor Washington's Reagan Airport to hear the secretary's briefing I asked the secretary if he felt they had done a good enough job preparing the American public for these lines, for the situation that's been created. No, no, I don't think so at all. Unfortunately, the way it has been brought to their attention is by the media, by thousands being left behind in almost every airport. And it seems many airports agree with the congressman Scott last week that three New York area airports joined Atlanta and Seattle in threatening to kick out the TSA for private screeners. And we just got to the end of the line in that smaller picture at Midway Airport Chris Van Cleave, thank you Yeah and this is also poorly explained

CHAPTER 28 / 49 Discussion

TSA Labor Tactics, Security Vulnerability Humiliation

The TSA's current operational difficulties may be a retaliatory response to recent undercover tests that exposed significant security vulnerabilities, such as the failure to detect weapons. By strictly adhering to every protocol, the agency can create massive delays as a form of "work-to-rule" protest. This tactic pressures the government for more resources while inconveniencing the traveling public.

tsa· labor union· security screening· airport delays· Newark

1:28:04 how, you know...what is the TSA if Airport can hire their own security firm to do it? What exactly...? Which they used to always do. Yeah and it's the same people and the attitudes! When we arrived at Newark I'm a little tired of JFK in LaGuardia so the bad Newark is usually pretty good. It was Friday where we landed or so we were in the car around three And so just to give you timing, but leaving the airport from the gate we walked past a line very similar. I saw this report and it snaked all the way through. It was incredibly long! When we went to New York three weeks ago or how long ago it was... We landed in Newark too and as you're leaving there's this huge line

1:28:56 That you just have to, you kind of parallel it only your going out. Yeah And its ridiculous and here's what is going on the way I see it Okay Oh by the way give us a timing how long did it take get from the exit to the car? Uh what do you mean Well, you said you should have been... No the line that we were walking fast. The line was going the other way. We were walking past the Line Inn and it was through corridors. It was snaking around bathrooms and everyone looking grumpy of course but mainly when we went from Austin Bergstrom and of course

1:29:34 It was busy in general on a Friday and we walk right up to the premium line with our economy tickets, walk right through. No one says anything ladies and gentlemen this is no agenda travel tip just do it what are they gonna do arrest you? No then... And you should do the same but TSA if they have a line just walk through oh I'm sorry now we had uh We had pre-checked Tina did not but the line with but the the pre check line because I went through the regular line with her. The pre-check line was zero, there's nobody and big sales, big boosts clear dot me go sign up now but and all i can say is it costs $420 for the global entry which gives you the pre-check sometimes 420 dollars! The amount is hilarious by itself thank you a homeland security...I got the joke but it shows that America if you want you any you can get better service from the government as long as your have money

1:30:33 Yeah, you gotta pay for it. Here's what's going on the way I see it because it was mentioned in two of their...I listened to four reports on this and two of them kind of hinted at it. This all stems from and I'm saying this from a perspective of someone who worked for the government and as well is also an inspector at Trailmobile and I've pulled this stunt. I've personally done this because most of the time lot of these jobs that you'll have, we are very sensitive to a lot of things like complaints that are unnecessary. This all stems from those boneheads in one of the government agencies that decided to sneak a gun through

1:31:13 the TSA check line and then humiliate the TSA showing, look there's no security here we got a gun through. Look here is the gun! And so TSA has decided oh really? So you want us to be so thorough that an expert who obviously knows what he is doing snuck a gun in, a pro snuck a gun in and now we have to okay we can do that no problem Show up three hours before the flight. Yeah, and do a slowdown. I agree. A slow down classic slow down unions do it Everybody does it nobody's calling him out on this and they just are rude All of them they're just pissed off except for the people in the pre-check line They always seem quite happy Because they don't have anything to do yeah, they kind of like that

1:32:04 Well, there was a this is so much pre check as it is. Is that screw you which is I did this at trail mobile? I've told the story before when I was an inspector there my guy I was used to joke around with some guy who changed jokes and his foreman came over and chewed me out Yeah, I wasn't working for him. I wasn't he wasn't my boss but he told me to get out of there It shouldn't be wasting his employees times So I started doing ultra I was red tagging everything because it was all red taggable. You have to have a lot of leeway when you're doing this kind of work, don't ya? Okay but at the same time... But at the same time if they throw out a glitch oh! It's a glitch! A glitch for the different topic. Yeah but those glitches happen everywhere and baggage is always held up somewhere. But i agree with you and hey

TIDE Database, TSA Agent Terrorist Watchlist Scrub

TSA Administrator Peter Neffinger testified that 73 employees were identified in the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) database. Following an FBI review, most of these individuals were "scrubbed" from the list as they did not meet the criteria for being actual terrorist threats. The TIDE database is a central repository for classified information on over one million known or suspected international terrorists.

tide database· tsa· fbi· terrorist watchlist· peter neffinger

1:32:52 I'm all for it. Get rid of the TSA, get rid of your viper teams, get rid of all this trauma you're thrusting upon people and your shitty-ass attitude." San Francisco's been talking about the same thing throwing the TSA out and putting in those...the Filipino mafia that used to run the place. Whoever! There was a hearing on The Hill with a TSA administrator his name is Peter Neffinger And Neffinger is no small dude. He was, he retired as vice admiral of the Coast Guard, served as Vice Commandant of the Coast Guard and so he's an administrator and he should I guess know how it works but when i listen to a guy like that I'm always thinking procurement that's all he cares about...and he was asked some questions about the problems and also about there were apparently 73 people who are working at TSA agents

1:33:51 Are we calling them agents? I think we call them agents. Even though they cannot arrest you... No, no TSO is the boss of the agent but even a TSO can not arrest you They have no power They can call a police officer to arrest you. They have no power So 73 of them were in the tide Which I had to look up. Tide. Well, just to clarify they actually weren't on the no-fly or the watch list They were in there and what was called the tide database that terrorist information data Mart environment And this is how information that may or may not indicate a direct association with terrorism so one of the first things we did was I wanted one of the FBI's read on every one of these individuals and The answer back. Was that none of them were met sufficient? Information to actually

1:35:01 directly call them a terrorist or, or associative of terrorists. But that said we look back at it many of them no longer hold their credentials two of them had their credentials removed and The remainder have actually been scrubbed out of the database on the advice of the FBI Scrubbed? Scrubbed out of the database! But it was very valuable to get in for what it did for us though is it allowed us then to get automated access To the categories of that separate database which then ultimately could feed into the terrorist watch list or the terrorist screening database and now we do a full automated review of every single credential holder against that database. This tied database is not discussed often I've never heard of it Terrorist identities data Mart environment

1:35:51 Now there are some specific technical uses for the jargon of a data mart, but it usually is something that you can be able to distribute it or sell it or share it. The Book Of Knowledge has an entry tied as the US government's central database on known or suspected international terrorists and contains highly classified information provided by members of the intelligence community such as CIA, DIA FBI NSA LMNOP and all the others. There were 1 million names in Tide! In 2008, more than 27000 names were removed from the list when it was determined they no longer met the criteria for inclusion. But what you just heard is they're now looking at adding new categories to this terrorist identities data mart environment and I find it very unlikely that there were 73 international suspects from the TSA in the database

1:36:51 If it's only supposed to house known or suspected international terrorists, then you probably got a lot of people there in this database—one million. are not international by any means. Probably not terrorists, it sounds like from the way the FBI had them scrub those names. Scrub! Yes, scrub. Get those guys out of there. How did these guys get on that list? You cannot get yourself off the... You cannot get yourself off the No Fly List which is a subset of the data mart environment The database in turn is used to compile various watch lists such as the TSA's no-fly list. So I would like to know if i'm on the list and do I have a right to ask if I am on the list? You have a right! Just send it Freedom of Information Act request in. We need to do that more often Yeah we do, yeah we do...I don't like this database. They finally pulled the plug on that idea. I don't like this database at all

Social Media Background Checks, Federal Security Clearances

Officials argue that public posts on platforms like Flickr or Facebook can provide insight into an applicant's judgment and character. This move formalizes the "due diligence" that many private employers already conduct during the hiring process.

1:37:57 I don't like it. And i think they're very cavalier, but... They are very cavalier there's like the credit reporting bureaus. The put yeah yeah the Stasi. It's a surprise you don't combine all of them um now you can have this apartment but it's only a studio apartment! I can afford 150 bucks a month i got enough cash to pay for a year in advance No! No. You're on this list you can't get an apartment. Get out? That's right Yeah, there was some news about that. About who is using that now... Someone was going to be using that type of information Social media... Here we go. Feds will now check your social media history before granting security clearance Well it kind of makes sense I guess

1:38:37 Sure it does. If you're gonna be stupid enough to post all these pictures on Flickr, if you're stoned drunk and wheeeeeeewwwwww! If your arm up in the air and dumping booze on somebody, y'know hiking up your skirt having photos of yourself taken... Yeah! You dumb enough to let that get posted I wouldn't hire ya. Yeah, I think you got a point I mean really? Yeah. I've always do due diligence on people, you know, I'm gonna meet somebody or something and check it out and look to see if there's any photos of them on the internets. See what they're doing, see if they're plastered. I was going to play... let me see..I had a thing here hold on It was this Well while your looking at that I gotta look for something here Whatcha got? There was about

Zika Virus Funding, Rio Olympics Health Concerns

Public health experts are divided over whether the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro should be postponed due to the Zika virus. While some researchers warn of a potential global health disaster, U.S. infectious disease officials maintain that the risk is manageable. The debate is occurring alongside a push for $1.9 billion in federal funding to combat the virus's spread.

1:39:29 I have a one clip on Zika. Oh, okay. Trying to sink the Olympics of course this is all that everything in as far as i'm concerned is looking more and more like intelligence folks sinking the olympics yeah And then at the end of this clip there's a kicker. Cana thank you we turn now to the Olympics in Rio and new concern tonight for the American athletes The game's now just three months away and this evening One health official saying the games should be postponed As we get new images of an American patient and what Zika looks like, the symptoms after he came down with it. Here's ABC's Lindsay Davis. As these athletes prepare to represent the U.S in rowing a call for the Summer Olympics in Brazil to be canceled or postponed because of Zika. An article in The Harvard Public Health Review this week calls it a no-brainer for the Olympic

1:40:20 organizers that the Rio 2016 games must not proceed to avoid a full-blown global health disaster. But the nation's top infectious disease official disagrees. It is not a universal systemic threat to anyone there because Zika is generally a mild disease while Megan O'Leary and Ellen Tomek say they may want to have children in the future right now they're focused on bringing home the gold so was there never a question in your mind whether you would go to Rio or not? Never question. This is gonna be just another hurdle or another obstacle to have to face but you know we're going." They plan to take the necessary precautions to avoid this these are pictures of the infection on a New York man who returned from Puerto Rico with bloodshot eyes and a painful rash that spread all over his body today health officials told Congress it's short-sightedness is making the Zika problem even worse by failing to provide the necessary funding to fight it David to be here both

FBI Secret Surveillance, Microphones in Public Spaces

The FBI has been caught planting hidden microphones in public locations, such as bus stops and light fixtures, around the San Francisco Bay Area to record conversations without a warrant. These recordings were intended to gather evidence in a real estate fraud case. Defense attorneys are challenging the legality of the program, arguing that individuals maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy even in public settings.

1:41:18 The necessary funding. You gotta slip that in there. Yeah, it's the funding! It's all about the funding. We want that $1.9 billion let's have it now I got the clip. This was in relation to the total police state that we have, that is we are now starting to rival the United Nations of Gitmo Nation East and this is something's going on in your backyard! We are exposing a surveillance program operating all around the Bay Area federal agents planting microphones to secretly record conversations KPIX5 Jackie Ward is at the Oakland courthouse Now Jackie can they legally do that?

1:41:54 Yes, they can. Which may surprise a lot of you out there just imagine standing at that very bus stop having a conversation with your friend and having no idea that your conversation was being recorded it happens all the time in the FBI says that they don't even need a warrant to do it They plant microphones under rocks, they plant microphones in trees. They plant microphones in equipment I mean there's microphones that are planted in places that people don't think about because that's the intent FBI agents hid microphones inside these light fixtures and at this bus stop without a warrant to record conversations between March 2010 and January 2011 The feds are trying to prove real estate investors in San Mateo and Alameda counties are guilty of bid rigging and fraud

1:42:37 Jeff Harp is a former FBI special agent and is now a KPIX 5 security analyst. An agent just can't go out and grab a recording device, and plan it somewhere without authorization from supervisor and you know the special agent in charge The lawyer for one of the accused will ask the judge to throw out their recordings telling me that quote speaking in a public place does not mean that the individual has no reasonable expectation of privacy Private communication in a public place qualifies as a protected oral communication and therefore may not be intercepted without judicial authorization So Jeff also says if you're going to conduct criminal activity do it in the privacy of your own home That was the original intention of the Fourth Amendment, but we'll see what the judge has to say on May 25th What I got eyes or what

1:43:29 You have to ISO. If you're going to conduct criminal activity... Do it in your home! ...do it with the privacy of your own home. Hold on a second, I probably should do that right now. That is pretty funny But how will-how you feel about that? In the Bay Area? Yeah, the Bay Area. That's... Welcome to the Bay Area. I mean that is just insane. You know how good you are so windy and crummy? I don't know what kind of recordings you can get if not using specialized shotgun mics or something like Target. Hold on a second let me get this. So Jeff also says if your going to... Let me ISO it right now while we're doing this might as well. Okay.

1:44:08 I can do this part. So Jeff also says if you're going to conduct Hold on, I can make it tighter. I can make it tighter. I can do this. Here is... There's... That was okay if you're going to conduct criminal activity do it in the privacy of your own home that nice there you go What do we call it so he can remember? Criminal activity Activity home, okay. Thanks. There you go all right good good call who called Jay well I think that the Having these mics all over the place It seems to me

Well there's a lot of these already that are doing the shot monitors if gunshots are being heard... Yes no the gunshot thing is all over. But regardless people buy into this no matter what because it's CSI we know this works! We've seen it all the time! Yeah we know we know it works from the TV show. I mean we can't even record The President because of the sound of phony digital cameras going Let alone that we're going to record something at the bus stop. But it puts people... I think it does, It's achieving what is needs to do is make people afraid. Yeah they are all afraid. Here's the thing that I think is being lost on this If you can see one of these mics someplace just steal it! Hell yeah

Jeremy Scahill, The Assassination Complex and Drone Warfare

Author Jeremy Scahill's new book, *The Assassination Complex*, details the secretive process the U.S. government uses to select targets for drone strikes. The book, featuring a foreword by Edward Snowden, describes a "labyrinthine" system where foreign intelligence is used to build profiles of individuals for the "kill list." These profiles, sometimes compared to baseball cards, eventually reach the President's desk for final approval.

And his colleagues collaborated in a new book called The Assassination Complex inside the government's secret drone warfare program Jeremy thanks so much for being here really appreciate it Thanks Jake So your book has a lot of disturbing details about the process through which United States

1:48:05 legally executes people with drones, legally in the United States point of view. How does the process of killing someone with a drone begin? It's actually quite a labyrinthine process that often begins with foreign governments that are allies of the United States providing the initial intelligence on people that it alleges are involved with terrorism or may be connecting with terrorists. So, for instance in Yemen, the Saudi government provides the United States with a lot of the intelligence that is used to develop profiles of people that the United States wants to take out. The African Union countries in Somalia that

1:49:00 you know we had as kids were collecting baseball cards where you have your favorite baseball player there are the eyes their home runs etc except these are profiles of people that the u s is contemplating killing and they have their statistics they were connected to them on by attacks uh... they've been on the telephone with x y & z people and it goes up the chain and then one other secret documents that we got shows how the president the secretary state the secretary defense and various military intelligence officials all are part of a process that ends up on the president's desk with an up or down on whether or not this person is going to die. Wow! Thumbs-up, thumbs down like Julius Caesar

1:49:38 Hail Caesar! Hail Caesar. And this baseball cards, or what they call BBCs? That means something entirely different on Craigslist I'll tell you man... They might want to change their acronym Speaking of such... I don't know what that was go away. That was weird Now I had a couple...I bought a bunch of the Saddam Hussein baseball cards Came I have but I got them in Iraq. They gave me the you know all the Taliban guys or whatever the deck of cards Yeah, I think it paid a buck up there something like that time pretty sure that if I keep him long enough to be worth a couple bucks so Junk around the house hey before we go into an inevitable break I was very pleased to see

Eurovision 2016 Voting, European Union Technocracy

The 2016 Eurovision Song Contest featured a controversial new voting system that split power between the public and "expert juries." Critics argue this mirrors the technocratic structure of the European Union, where unelected experts hold significant sway over democratic outcomes. Ukraine's victory over Russia and Australia was seen by some as a politically charged result reflecting broader European tensions.

eurovision· ukraine· russia· brexit· technocracy

1:50:29 Yesterday on Logo TV, I've never heard of Logo TV. Very pleased to see the Eurovision 2016 Song Contest being aired live exactly the way it should be with an over-the-top gay guy and a sidekick doing the commentary one of the best things that ever seen on television Did you get the gay guys from Logo TV or did you get some other feed? I didn't get any feeds. Oh, you didn't watch? This is your beat! It's always been your beat. I thought you would watch?! Oh man... No, no, I never watched this show. I think it's a dumb show. I think its overproduced. But we should have done our predictions because- Why was the same prediction that we made last year and we woulda nailed it

1:51:18 But it was even better this year because they did so many new things. They changed the way the voting runs, now they say doesn't change the way it actually works but the reporting of the voting could not have been a more exact example above how the European Union wants the people, the slaves of Europe to shut up and listen to the smart people who understand how it all really works And we will get to the Brexit with this and I got really stoked by watching Brexit The Movie, which is a brilliant piece of propaganda from... What is this? Brexit The Movie. You have not seen this? No! Oh immediately you know what right now it's like all right stop the show we'll be back tomorrow. You should watch

1:52:07 It is a brilliant piece of propaganda, it's brilliant. Which takes us all the way back to World War I when that's when the government will take care of everything started in Britain and of course after World War II as things progressed in Germany all regulations were dropped and Germany became the powerhouse of production, economy and commerce in all of Europe. And Britain is pretty much the ugly stepchild that has just been regulated by people who know exactly you this is how it should be. They take that through a logical conclusion to European Union where this is exactly what EU has wanted, what all politicians want, they want technocratic people who are not elected but will just run everything for the stupid people

1:52:56 So they couldn't get away with it entirely in the Eurovision Song Contest voting, but the way they did it is we have televoting. Y'all can vote whatever you want democratic right? But that'll only count for 50% of though because we have... The other 50 percent is from expert juries and each individual country. It just so incredibly Rude and demuning... diminuing, demeaning. of the European peoples. Listen, here's their own promo video. Oh! Here's how it works. Delight in Kiev among Crimean Tatars Ah screw me that's the wrong one sorry this is the one I want. Here's the one I want In this video we are presenting an exciting big change in the voting procedure of the Eurovision Song Contest Exciting change This is how it works Wow First each vote is worth the price of admission fee It's an exciting ch- and its animated Take your pills Its anima- What did you say?

1:53:58 Take your soma. Take your pills, be happy! I can't even start it up. In the voting procedure of the Eurovision Song Contest, this is how it works First each national professional jury will award 1 to 8 10 and 12 points to their favorites Professional professionals professionals in the grand final these points will be announced by the spokespersons from all participating countries in the usual way Oh, the Dutch lady was great. Oh my god I should have clipped it i just remembered she came out in full force hello yes this is the Netherlands here everybody's great show this show is so fantastic great job everybody

1:54:42 I should have clipped it. Based on the televoting, each country will award a second set of 1 to 8 10 and 12 points to the ten songs they like most The televoting points from all countries will be combined and announced by the host starting with the country receiving the fewest points from the public And ending with the country that received the highest number of points from the televoting So the winner will only be known at the very end of the show. In the semi-finals, the same voting system will be used but only 10 qualifiers will be announced as usual After the grand final you can find the individual jury votes and televoting rankings on our website eurovision.tv Well extremely exciting as you can tell Very exciting this change He sounds like a character in a Paul Verhoeven movie

1:55:37 another fine Dutch reference. Yeah, yes so now what was interesting is how it wound up Ukraine winning Australia who of course are a member of the European Broadcast Union and have been transmitting the the contest for 30 years, I believe. But now they participated of course Russia participated and the way it was taken was oh screw Russia! They couldn't even beat Australia so it was Ukraine-Australia-Russia whereas I thought I heard that Ukraine gave Russia all their points

1:56:14 There are millions of points at the end there. I didn't read it that way at all, what i saw was... Hey Europe! You called the Eurovision Song Contest? Look who's in the top three No one from Europe! No one Well, so but now but just I want to say one more thing we all the powers that the elites want To make people get used to use to it. Yes There you go. Let's just make him They're kind of European because they won a European contest The whole thing was frui But I but I learned something and and I am going to force us in the near future to do this

1:56:58 This is a new format and it's a winning format. It is going to be a huge successful format, for you and I if we can get our asses in gear doing live audio commentary on live televised events...it is-I don't know if its money maker but it can be hilarious! And I could see you and I looking at this thing just ragging on everything which this gay guy and his sidekick, I don't know who she was were good. It was funny! Do you have any clips of them? No, but I didn't have a way to clip it...it's a logo TV How do we get- no no But it was good. It was just funny You know the campy gay humor really works when you see the guy show where some woman show up screaming at the top of her lungs with huge wing like shoulder pads that shimmering from the heavens The whole thing is insane

1:57:59 I'll go back and watch it. No, you don't have to but we should've done the correspondence dinner...I think we could even do sports and make it fun! You and me. And people all they have to do is watch the TV there may be some slight delay but I think we can get a pretty real time like maybe a second if we need too just do commentary on any big televised event yeah we could probably do as well as Joe in the rivers better I think we can do better What's that other guy? What's the guy that does, um... used to be on Leno and he was super gay. And he's doing a Hollywood Live today or whatever it is Oh Ross! Ross Ross Ross the intern Yeah but you and I can make it funny without having to be gay. I think you and I can do- because by the way It's so stereotypical that uh..that The Gay Lobby should be against it

1:58:57 Yeah, you'd think. Yeah I mean it's hilarious. That stereotypical Hollywood gay which doesn't even exist. Totally. Very rarely maybe some antique shop owner in some part of San Francisco perhaps but generally speaking that guy is just a Hollywood stereotype prancing around making... It's unbelievable yeah although and all the straights laughing oh-ho-ho that guy so funny prancing around like he's gay Oh he is gay Yeah, that's terrible. Yeah, you're bigoted! It was funny though which is the way it used to be we could just laugh about things and not go all crazy And get all up in our safe space about stuff I like to be in my safe space Safe Space

Donald Trump "John Miller" Tape, Media Manipulation History

The Washington Post released a 1991 audio recording of a man identifying himself as "John Miller," a publicist for Donald Trump, who sounds remarkably like Trump himself. While Trump previously admitted to using the pseudonym as a joke, he recently denied being the person on the tape. The story is being used by critics to highlight Trump's long history of manipulating media coverage through various personas.

donald trump· john miller· washington post· people magazine· media

1:59:43 Alright, here's the one you were talking about. This is the CBS report and by the way, the giveaway on this... By the way, CBS as we both read that Carl Bernstein report on the CIA in the media. Yeah which was written in 77 something like that is available online people should all read it. It's very interesting and I think it has he was written because his partner, I think was always an intelligence agency of some sort and had a story so he wrote this long thing He cited CBS as being the

2:00:20 more or less in the employ of the agency, just straight up. Well some mysterious... I'm sorry! And so you have to consider the source on this as CBS but compound it with two other sources that are brought into this story and by the way i kind of all been thinking this is Donald Trump that's on this tape but yeah The two other sources though are the worst Washington Post has become a stooge for the Hillary Clinton campaign, which means they're in Washington DC. They were students of the agency and there's some reason they were all in on Hillary and the other one is The New York Daily News. These are only two they use. They use Washington Post and New York Daily News. The New York Daily News is the one that had these horrible front pages of Trump. He's a clown! He's an idiot! And you know he dolled up to look like Krusty the Clown. So this is just ganging up but this is a great story

2:01:17 Okay, and here we go. Well some mysterious audio tapes surfaced today they were provided to the Washington Post by an anonymous source The question is is the voice on them Donald Trump? Here's Chip Reid In 1991 a People Magazine reporter recorded a call from someone identifying himself as John Miller who said he was representing Donald Trump The recording has now been published by the Washington Post You might have noticed Miller sounds a lot like Trump. For about 14 minutes, Miller talked and boasted mostly about Trump's exploits with women Including he said Madonna

2:02:07 I wanted to go out with him, but I can tell you... He's living with Marla and he has three other girlfriends. He is coming out of a marriage that he started doing tremendously well financially and he just thought it was too soon Soon after the interview, Trump admitted that he was John Miller and called it a joke gone awry. But today he denied it. It was not me on the phone and it doesn't sound like me on the phone I will tell you that yes of course is Donald Linda Stacy of The New York Daily News has covered Trump for years how sure is she? On scale of 1 to 10...I am ten! I'm eleven everybody in the news business knows this goes on with Donald he's been doing it for

2:02:59 30 years. It's like you'd be in a newsroom and say, oh it's fake Donald Trump again." Today the Washington Post was interviewing Trump about his finances when a reporter asked him if he had ever employed someone named John Miller Scott we're told the phone suddenly went dead. No! Why are you ruining minutes of my life with this story? Just thought it was a funny story, and I wasn't going to necessarily play But you had heard you had pre-played it a little while ago. You wanted to hear it Okay So you were asking to ruin your own life? Oh well by the way John Miller is kind of interesting was the CIA guy from CBS yeah does he sound like that yes coincidentally and then I just thought that was peculiar Yeah It's like we know this isn't

2:03:48 This this presidential like do they have nothing that is there nothing left? Is that is that all, is that it? That's it. Oh, he lied 25 years ago and he calls up... Shit I've done this! I'm pretty sure. Everyone has done this. For sure have done this Yeah you call in and get some sucker listening to your bull- yeah. No, no i don't know. I never heard of John Miller It's bad enough if I call up as John Miller If I call up with Adam Curry they're like who? This is the same thing. John Miller or Adam Curry They don't know who they are talking to They hang out by me

CHAPTER 36 / 49 Discussion

George Clooney on Trump, Media Ratings and Fear

At the Cannes Film Festival, actor George Clooney asserted that Donald Trump will never be president, accusing the media of failing to ask tough questions. Clooney argued that Trump's rise is a result of news networks prioritizing ratings over substantive reporting on issues like the refugee crisis. However, Clooney's own comments were criticized for being contradictory regarding the use of "fear" in political rhetoric.

george clooney· donald trump· cannes film festival· media ratings· refugees

2:04:24 Well, there are some other... I just have a couple of other lame-o things that should be played here. I'd like to share with you... Let's see This was our friend, our pal Clooney! Actor George Clooney saying this about Donald Trump at the Cannes Film Festival There is not going to be a President Donald Trump That's not gonna happen The room full of international journalists applauding the actor, not everyone applauding back here at home. Clooney has raised money for Hillary Clinton Now what I found interesting was the long version and this truly is

2:05:01 This truly is the election cycle of the soundbite. You know, it was something we talked about in maybe the 70s? Is that when the soundbite idea really kicked into high gear late 70's or some election where it's all sound bites! It's all sound bite! The concept of the sound bite was born... I remember that but I can't identify the period I do remember that, because it was all soundbites. You have to speak in soundbytes you have to speak in sound bytes and of course with today's editing capabilities digital editing...you can edit things so quickly witness this program we run somewhere between 20 and 50 clips a show I mean and it's just two guys and we're old we're at age and we still can barely push the button then we can still make it happen we can even do ISOs on the fly

2:05:45 As we witnessed, as everyone witnessed on today's show. You've done it before? Yes so here is a longer version of what Clooney said There is not going to be a President Donald Trump That's not gonna happen And by the way that is the press applauding Just so you know That's not an audience thats the press! Thats right this was a press conference good catch The presses applauding Oh! Go George! You hottie Unbelievable the press. Oh thank you! We weren't able to do it and then of course Clooney's gonna yell at the press There is not going to be a President Donald Trump That's not gonna happen It's not gonna happen because we're not gonna use fear, fear is not something that's gonna be

2:06:32 what drives our country. We're not going to... What is he saying? This is odd, is he fear I guess fear okay. What has been witnessed for the last 20 years? I don't know but isn't aren't the Democrats specifically Hillary Clinton saying be afraid if Donald Trump becomes president, we're doomed. Isn't everyone using this fear? I'm moving to Canada! You know i'm so sick and tired of people saying when they say something it's okay and you say the same thing but change name and it's not okay from all sides that's going to be

2:07:09 what drives our country. We're not going to be scared of Muslims or immigrants, or women... we're not actually afraid of anything so you know we're not gonna use fear so that's not- Yes! You are afraid of Donald Trump thats what everyone keeps saying So afraid that you want to move to Canada I think it is when you address it as a harbour- Well why did he say fear of women? I'm sorry He said fear of women That's something that were gonna uh.. thats gonna be what drives our country. We're not going to be scared of Muslims or immigrants, or you know women." That's very funny! Did he think about his wife? George it's okay if you can just tell us we know you're afraid of her and your trying to get out a bad relationship. We know Amal is no fun George You are afraid of women He did say that didn't he? We shouldn't be afraid of immigrants What was the other thing he said

2:08:05 Muslim or women I'm a bit babe. Can I go on the record? I'm afraid of women that's gonna be what drives our country. We're not going to be scared of Muslims or immigrants, or you know women... This is where Clooney got his wires mixed because the statement you throw out as a bot, as an Obama bot or Hillary bot, he calls it women sluts and pigs! He calls these immigrants no-Muslims allowed This is why he used to have Prendergrass as his handler. As his handler, and they didn't let him go out by himself but now that I guess he's divorced from whatever agency was working for which i doubt he's still not working for them but He does stuff like this That's why they have to clip it We're not actually afraid of anything Because he says stupid shit! Well this one was dumb The good news is And thank you George

2:09:06 I don't have to be afraid of women, finally. Or you know... Women we're not actually afraid of anything so you know we're not gonna use fear So that's not going to be an issue. If you ask me if it is a harbinger and i think that you would agree and i think we all sort of see it I think that sorta landed in a way Trump is actually- I'm not sure what he said let's listen again I didn't get that either What the hell did he just say? This is why I liked it so much. Just playing that stupid sound by, It's not gonna happen! What? Because Clooney is going to stop it and beat him up...I don't know but nooo So you know we're not going to use fear so thats not gonna be an issue If your asking if its a harbinger I think that- What is a Harbinger? A force to be reckoned with or book of knowledge Define Harbinger Hold on

2:09:56 The word harbinger has two different meanings as a verb foreshadow or message and as a noun Something that proceeds and indicates the approach of something or someone. Oh, it's okay It's a it's a bad omen shadow than Oman foreshadowed in Oman yes Okay Thank You book of knowledge very good is if you're asking if it's a Harbinger I think that You know, and I think you would agree. And I think we all sort of see it. I think that's sort of landed in a way Trump is actually a result in many ways of the fact that much of the news programs didn't follow up and ask tough questions. Didn't ask tough questions there it is So now he's blaming the news media

2:10:36 who are happily there clapping. Where do they ever ask tough questions? Thank you! And by the way, let me point something out... The public doesn't want to see tough questions because it just looks like you're hounding the guy No we don't care about that You didn't answer the question, well I thought i answered the question We want conflict! All we want is conflict, we just want conflict That's what drives ratings And George, do you think he really doesn't know this? all these cable news numbers. Oh, there you go! 24-hour news doesn't mean you get more news it just means you get the same news more so the more and more... And then and the press is laughing at him Or you hear these guys You know their ratings go up because they can show a empty podium saying Donald Trump is about to speak As opposed to taking those 30 seconds and say well let's talk about refugees which is the biggest crisis that's going on Ratings loser

2:11:38 No, no. This is why you don't run the network or the studio George about refugees which is the biggest crisis that's going on in the world right now in a way. You know I'm also looking at him with laser eyes. You better say refugee That's my thing say refugees. Thank you, right? I think he is afraid of women world right now You know would really all of the corporations fall on their knees if we did actually inform a little bit so I think that this movie is Pointed and talking about this is his movie out one of the things I figure there's a great

2:12:16 uh... disaster in uh... in the way we inform ourselves right now which is we've lost the ability to to get you and tell that you think it's a fact george clinton is a spy uses this fine yet there are other than that can give me some of the day for pulling out thank you very much i appreciate I do it. The only one that has competition which i now eliminate from the clip of the day, but you want to play before we get to this segment? You could get a second. Because this is a call back to something you talked about earlier! Okay, I'm ready

Clinton Foundation, Energy Pioneer Solutions Conflict

The Clinton Foundation is facing scrutiny over a $2 million commitment to Energy Pioneer Solutions, a for-profit company with close ties to the Clinton family. The company's owners include a neighbor of the Clintons in Chappaqua and a prominent Democratic fundraiser. IRS regulations generally prohibit 501(c)(3) organizations from operating for the benefit of private interests, raising questions about the foundation's grant-making process.

clinton foundation· energy pioneer solutions· bill clinton· chappaqua· irs

2:13:57 from the Clinton Foundation to a company of which I think maybe 33% but that would be too good to be true, 30% shareholder. A woman, let's see what is her name? Julie something or other hold on The name of the company, here it is. At Bill Clinton's behest a two million dollar commitment for energy pioneer solutions was placed on the agenda during a September 2010 conference of the Clinton Global Initiative as it turns out the commitment is a bit of an issue at the heart of the issues that foundation sent the funding to a company that has significant ties to the Clinton family. The IRS website states that any 501c3 should not be operated for the benefit of private interest of course

2:14:52 Here we go. Energy Pioneer Solutions was founded in 2009 by Scott Klebe, a Democrat who twice ran for Congress from Nebraska and internal document from that year showed it as owned 29% by Mr. Klebe, 29% by Jane Eckert the owner of an art gallery in Pine Plains New York and 29% by Julie Taubur McMahon of Chappaqua close friend to Mr. Clinton who also lives in Chappaqua. And as this is being reported, I think this was CNBC, Stek sent me this he nailed this one! This is a catch and a half. This company which is for-profit company Energy Pioneer Solutions which was actually 30% owned by Clinton's friend who lives in Chappaqua

2:15:39 And part owned as well by the treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. Let's not forget that, but yes just up the road is this woman who visits the Clinton household every so often when Mrs. Clinton isn't there. Oops! Great catch, Doug love that here's Debbie Wasserman Schultz who used to be Tina's senator in Florida. She a senator? She is a senator, isn't she? No no she is a congressman. Congressperson yes about the FBI email investigation it was just lovely to hear her finally sputter and go completely off the reservation not know what to say got into an argument over

CHAPTER 39 / 49 Discussion

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, FBI Email Investigation Semantics

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz struggled to define the FBI's probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server, alternating between the terms "investigation" and "inquiry." Schultz maintained that Clinton is not the target of the probe and that the election will ultimately be decided on economic issues rather than the email controversy. She also claimed the U.S. has seen 74 consecutive months of job growth, a figure disputed by economic analysts.

debbie wasserman schultz· fbi· hillary clinton· emails· investigation

2:16:31 if it's an investigation or an inquiry. It was just a beautiful piece of television history We are conducting investigation, that is the Bureau's business That is what we do I'm not familiar with the term security inquiry Is she taking this as seriously as the FBI is? I think it's important to underscore that Secretary Clinton isn't even a target of this inquiry, investigation whatever i-word you want to use. Okay hold on... Whatever i-word do you want us to use?! She's not the target of the investigation John! This should be headline news Yeah, It should be top in the news What other i words could we find for Debbie Wasserman

2:17:10 Investigation, inquiry, inquisition. Inquisition would be good. I have my dictionary in front of me and can find all the i words We need some more words. Idiotic, imbecile, ignoramus, idiot, impotent... we can use a lot of I-words. This election is going to be decided on whether because I've repeatedly been told that my understanding as Secretary Clinton How do you know that? Because i've been told that?! know that it's not targeting her because they said so?

2:17:59 I am only repeating what my understanding is, but beyond that this election is going to be decided by voters who care about making sure that they have a president who has their back. Who will build on the 74 straight months of job growth we've had in our economy. Wow! That's brazen. 74 straight jobs growth? That's a lie. It's a lie. We have not...we've had jobs added but we've had some months more lost correct? Yeah, the magic number is 160. All right But they've lost them. In and around anyway... Who won't take people's homes? Everything under that number means that you're losing is not good, it's negative because just the replacement market alone in this large 300 million plus country, the replacement number in other words enough people quit their jobs or they retire and new people come on board to keep that even as 150 so if you're below 150,000 you are losing jobs

2:18:58 So anyway, I believe that to be a lie. crisis and the great depression, that's how voters are going to make this decision on who they want to be their president. And that is why our nominee will eventually win this election. When you release 55 thousand pages of emails and demonstrate the transparency Secretary Clinton has throughout this I word... Yes most definitely!

Katrina Pearson, Trump Muslim Ban Policy Clarification

Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pearson defended Donald Trump's recent comments characterizing his proposed Muslim ban as a "suggestion." Pearson argued that Trump has not backpedaled on the policy but is open to adjustments once proper vetting procedures are established. The media has portrayed these comments as a softening of Trump's position as he moves toward the general election.

katrina pearson· donald trump· muslim ban· policy· media

2:19:35 And that's still not what the voters are going to be making this decision on when they decide who they're voting for, for president. I also just want to reiterate that in my time i have sent one email with 50 000 pages you know just an attachment or whatever this fifty thousand pages is completely meaningless So then we had Trump, he was coming out defending himself and he had his little... This woman is so bizarrely interesting to watch Katrina Pearson. She has like the very tiny head really jet black hair and all scrunched up and she's of some ethnicity which I can't quite identify

2:20:12 I said she looks really interesting, interesting but she's really full of it. Everyone knows by now he is not a traditional political candidate but he is seemingly softening his positions right now that he has to worry about getting the nomination the Republican presidential nomination. He has to worry about a general election. sensitive issues like a temporary ban on Muslims coming to the United States. He now says that's a suggestion, he seems to be softening his position on tax policy is he now moving away from the right shall we say towards the center as he worries about a general election because that's what regular politicians do and we also need to have some definition of regular politicians and irregular politicians

2:20:55 How do you become a politician? You have to be a politician to become a politician, to be a politician. It's elitist is what that is bro. No not at all What Mr.. Trump is saying Is that yes all of his policies are suggestions like any other Yeah, no. Katrina! No, no... He was very clear on this. Very clear. Oh recall that time when if you liked your doctor You can keep your doctor I think that is funny but it's not working This is a flaw This woman is a flaw now in the strategy Guess what? That actually didn't say the policy This is the woman who's always representing him The dark hair Very often yes, very often Even though she was short Uh, I don't know She looks very tiny

2:21:37 I don't know if she's short, but i think that she's got a smile on her face. She's blundering this is not good This is weak and they don't have anything which to me well I'll deconstruct with voters and he has not backpedaled let me repeat this He has not back peddled on his muslim ban he said he would back off of it in an instant things have taken place to where we could properly vet individuals. So this media outcry of how Trump is somehow backed off of his Muslim ban, I find quite absurd because that is just simply not the case." What I don't know John, did Trump himself say these were recommendations or are those someone else's words? Because that could be going on here...that someone else said extrapolated

2:22:17 the temporary Muslim bans. No, I've not heard a Trump clip where he says this is just suggestions! Yeah...I think that's what happening here now that i think about it but she is handling it poorly then because she said he never set a suggestion he said until we figure out which is fair statement Which is what you said? It was just what he said and I don't know if where ever he said it was his suggestion I don't know that he did. OK, well she is it just seems like a that the Trump operation seems discombobulated.

George Stephanopoulos, Clinton Foundation and Missing Emails

Donald Trump clashed with George Stephanopoulos over the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton's missing emails. Trump pointed out Stephanopoulos's past work for the Clintons and his undisclosed donations to their foundation. There is ongoing speculation that the Russian government, led by Vladimir Putin, may possess the deleted emails and could release them as an "October surprise" to influence the election.

george stephanopoulos· clinton foundation· hillary clinton· vladimir putin· emails

2:22:53 It just kind of does its own thing. I don't think they have a structure, and he put somebody in there that's supposed to be able to just handle it. You know what I mean? And even worse or better take care of it until I fix it because as we suspect, he has his tax documents ready. He has this plan ready. Because if he is ready for whatever it is...he's playing everybody Shoot, I would do it. It's so easy now! So easy at this point... Here he is finally calling in just giving George Stephanopoulos some crap and deservedly so because of course he was the White House spokeshole. And still associated with the Clinton Foundation and yes they really find pathetic and there are clips of this that i think we may have played one once He is on the record as saying Bill Clinton is a psychopath not a very good person

2:23:54 So people are sending me a link to somewhere where Trump says that. So good, okay yes it's Cheryl Bacoff Okay I gotta look at that! I can't play it right now but we'll check that for Thursday show. Yeah so here's Stephanopoulos who donated the Clinton Foundation...I don't know if he has ever had a full-time job or part time job but he is a Clinton insider everybody knows and everyone is okay with except he forgets to disclaim every single time which you should do as a good journalist If he is considered a journalist which I don't think he is You said you would release your tax returns when Secretary Clinton released her email she has turned over all the emails in her possession. She didn't turn over all, there's plenty missing I read yesterday where there are a lot of emails missing don't tell me she is a good friend of yours and i know you worked for him and you didn't reveal it but uh... she did not turnover her e-mails there are a lot of emails missing There were emails from your staffers missing? She turned over the email she has. There were emails missing all over the place that the whole thing this scam there were emails missing all over the place Where's Vlad? Vlad gonna come out now That was so cool It was a good set up

2:24:52 for Vladimir Putin to come out and say, you know the emails. He would even probably do so many emails. That's what missing from this whole thing is the Russians just to release the whole cache. To release it yeah because that would say yeah she was insecure and here are the Russians I don't understand why they don't do that It's timing John! It's timing he's just waiting its timing its timing but I think it's gonna happen and if it comes out with Putin saying oh by the way heres all of the emails we took that we hacked Game over. Yes, it would be game over for Hillary So I think that's waiting in the wings It could be the October surprise! Woohoo!

Newsweek Teen Survey, Taylor Swift and Modern Icons

A Newsweek retrospective comparing teenagers in 1966 to those in 2016 shows a dramatic shift in admired icons. While 1960s teens looked up to figures like JFK and Helen Keller, modern teens list Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Selena Gomez as their heroes. Abraham Lincoln was the only historical figure to appear on both lists, highlighting the changing nature of celebrity and influence over fifty years.

newsweek· taylor swift· beyonce· icons· teenagers

2:33:24 Apparently in 1966 Newsweek surveyed a new concept then which was teenagers. I thought teenagers started in the 50s, the term teenagers That's a good question...I'm sure it did! I think it did But I wonder if it goes back further Anyway, Newsweek did a retrospective they looked at what they reported in 1966 and in 2016, so 50 years. Nice! Yeah. There are distinct differences... What did you say? It has to be interesting. There are distinct differences says Newsweek between today's teens and teens in 1966. Fifty years ago teenagers most admired icons were JFK Abraham Lincoln George Washington Lyndon Johnson and Helen Keller

2:34:13 Today, only one of those names remains the same. Abraham Lincoln and only one other president President Obama made the list rounding out the 2016 list of teen heroes Taylor Swift Beyonce and Selena Gomez That is progress ladies and gentlemen that is probably crap that's progress right there I'm telling you Taylor Swift's the most dangerous woman in the world. Yeah, and and you were the one that identified her very early on in this. I did! I think it was within the first few shows I identified Taylor Swift as a... before anyone knew who she was as the there's a dangerous woman because she was noodling

2:34:51 She was noodling. Is that clip still around? I'll see if i can dig it out. Hold on. But Taylor's strive for perfection only makes the people who work with this young star respect her that much more Now, this is from... This is February 14th Let's go! There have been times where I've played a solo and then she'll say well can you kind of do this and she'll sing me in melody and I'll incorporate that And uh.. That's very impressive for someone her age Yeah, all right. There was somewhere there was noodling but the noodling takes place in there somewhere yeah so many notes She says too many nodes stop noodling which I think it was scully airy said about Mozart oh yes Yes um I have a I've got one alright.

Christine Lagarde, IMF Brexit Warnings and Hitler Comparisons

IMF Director Christine Lagarde warned of significant economic "downside risks" if Britain votes to leave the European Union, including a sharp drop in the pound. Meanwhile, "Leave" campaigner Boris Johnson drew controversy by comparing the EU's goals of European unification to those of Napoleon and Hitler. Prime Minister David Cameron continues to argue that a Brexit would lead to higher prices and job losses for UK households.

christine lagarde· imf· brexit· boris johnson· adolf hitler

2:35:49 Because we talk about the Brexit, I want to keep my Brexit propaganda. This is to get the Brits to vote not vote God you're gonna we're all gonna die if we vote for Brexit this is Lagarde I have the same clip. The Lagarde Brexit clip, lovely. IMF director Christine Lagarde was in London Friday underscoring what she calls significant downside risks of a Brexit. Should a sharp drop in external financing follow an exit vote for example this would imply a significant depreciation of the sterling

2:36:25 and large contractions of investment and consumption, implying lower output, low growth and higher domestic prices. Will the warnings from outside be enough to keep Britain within the EU? Britains go to the polls on June 23rd to show their true colors. We're all gonna die! Yeah, there was an even better one which had big... this is Cameron in studio Big signs that showed like a big price tag You know so the price tag that has kind of one end is sharp you know How like how like a clearance sale tag might look? That's what I'm talking about clearance sale tag and it had on it, you know purr

2:37:10 household per year 4999 pounds huge thing was as tall as the Prime Minister himself. The EU referendum campaign has courted controversy in the UK with leave campaigner Boris Johnson comparing that he use aims to Hitler's while remain campaigner and Premier David Cameron claims that Britain's will be out of pocket if they vote to leave both have drawn criticism for fear-mongering if we vote to leave on the 23rd of June we will be voting for higher prices, we'll be voting for fewer jobs. We will be voting for lower growth. We will be voting potentially for a recession. That is the last thing that our economy needs." Remain campaigners are pushing the economic argument which they say The Leave Camp are losing while Boris Johnson said that Europe suffered from a massive democratic void. I'm telling you if

2:38:04 Vote Leave on June the 23rd and take back control of this country, our democracy and our economy. Then we can prosper and thrive and flourish as never before." Adding fuel to the fire Johnson told British paper The Telegraph that various people including Napoleon and Hitler had tried to unite Europe under a single entity but it ends tragically adding that the EU was trying to do the same by different means. Best use of Hitler ever! You know, he's right. Yes! It has always ended poorly Yeah who else tried it? That is what is going to happen with this deal. It will end in a civil war because these guys in Brussels you know they don't care but they just want to homogenize everything as the giant German state. Its not even homogenization its they want a ruling class

9/11 Commission, Saudi Embassy Involvement and the 28 Pages

Former 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman stated that the classified "28 pages" contain evidence of support for the hijackers from individuals working within the Saudi embassy and government-funded charities. While the commission previously found no evidence that senior Saudi officials were aware of the plot, Lehman is calling for a vigorous pursuit of lower-level involvement. Critics argue that the reporting often downplays the clear links between the Saudi government and the individuals named in the FBI summaries.

9/11 commission· saudi arabia· 28 pages· john lehman· fbi

2:38:56 This is what this and so this is the counterweight to this propaganda. Is Brexit the movie? Which is you know, it's paid for by the leave campaign So it's you know, this is I this is propaganda well done just well done You sit there and go huh? What it's crazy Why are we doing this? Well bit is propaganda but what isn't of course Of course now everything that everything these days is propaganda my goodness It's gotten bad. Here is my final, I think of some import... We're back with the 28 pages and John Lehmann who was on the 9-11 commission is talking about what may be in these 28 pages What do we think is there? Is it important? It's an allegation that has lingered almost since the moment The Towers fell

2:39:48 That Saudi Arabia was somehow tied to the 9-11 attacks. Now, speaking to CNN by... Weren't they? The so called hijackers weren't they mainly from Saudi Arabia that's not a secret. Yes all of them. That's not a secret! No thats not a secret So when he says somehow tied to Saudi Arabia isn't that a tie right there Yeah revision. Quite revision They're all from Saudi Arabia It is an allegation that has lingered almost since the moment the towers fell that Saudi Arabia was somehow tied to the 9-11 attacks. Now, speaking to CNN by telephone former 9-11 commissioner John Lehman says the classified 28 pages of a congressional report into 9-11 contain evidence that as many as six Saudi individuals supported Al Qaeda in the run up to the attacks

2:40:38 Those individuals, he says worked for the Saudi embassy in the US. Saudi charities and a government-funded mosque in California. Lehman makes clear that the 28 pages which are mostly FBI summary reports contain no smoking gun and like the 9 11 Commission concluded Lehman does not believe the Saudi government or any of its senior officials supported or were aware of the 911 plots However, Lehman says that evidence of lower-level Saudi involvement was never sufficiently investigated and should now be quote vigorously pursued. Other commission members including former federal prosecutor Richard Benveniste are echoing Lehman's call We would not be so arrogant as to think that we with our limited time and resources have

2:41:28 investigated every single aspect that there is to look at in the 9-11 disaster. You know what gets me about this reporting is they make these comments, well there's no evidence that it hooks to the... They worked out of the embassy but there's no evidence that has anything do with the Saudi government Because I'm thinking yeah because everyone's so liberal that Saudi government.

Salty Sow Bone Marrow, Listener Grievances and Atheism

A listener named Jennifer corrected a host's previous claim about a meal at the Salty Sow restaurant, defending the presentation of the bone marrow. The exchange prompted a humorous discussion about "airing grievances" before the holiday of Festivus. The segment also touched on the host's willingness to accept criticism and a brief aside regarding atheist perspectives on the afterlife.

SWIFT Banking Cyberattack, BAE Systems and North Korea

The global financial messaging network SWIFT reported that a cyber heist targeting a Bangladeshi bank is part of a wider campaign involving the same malware used in the 2014 Sony hack.
