About this episode

The disappearance of EgyptAir Flight 804 has triggered a wave of media speculation, with outlets like CNN relying on unverified ADS-B data to suggest violent maneuvers before the aircraft vanished. While news cycles lean toward terrorism, evidence of electronic failure or catastrophic disintegration at flight level remains a viable alternative. This tragedy unfolds as the TSA faces a national staffing crisis, leaving 5,000 fewer screeners than three years ago and forcing passengers to sleep on cots in major airports.

Chaos at the Nevada Democratic Convention resulted in death threats against State Party Chair Roberta Lange after 64 Bernie Sanders delegates were denied status. In Kentucky, a Fayette County machine glitch delayed results that ultimately favored Hillary Clinton, fueling concerns of establishment interference. Meanwhile, financial analyst Charles Ortell and Judge Andrew Napolitano highlight FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation for alleged solicitation fraud. In foreign policy, Donald Trump signaled a willingness to negotiate directly with Kim Jong-un, while the U.S. Senate passed a bill allowing 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia despite threats of a $750 billion asset sell-off.

Megyn Kelly and Ivanka Trump navigate high-stakes media appearances to manage the Trump campaign's image, while Whoopi Goldberg defends Clinton’s private email server on The View. Max Verstappen secures a historic Formula One victory for Red Bull Racing, providing a brief distraction for the Netherlands. This episode features artwork by Neil Campbell and a knighting ceremony for Tony Marengo.

Dvorak's Law of Economic Depression, Lipstick Effect Correlation

The hosts discuss a Medline study that provides an experimental demonstration of the "lipstick effect," where women's spending on beauty products increases during economic downturns despite overall declines in consumer spending. This phenomenon is linked to Dvorak's Law of Economic Depression, which posits that during recessions, certain services become higher quality and more affordable. The research suggests this behavior is rooted in primal mating psychology and the desire to attract mates with resources during lean times.

00:00 This just in, apparently wreckage has been found. Adam Curry John C Devorah It's Thursday May 19th 2016 a time once again via Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 826 This is no agenda Gliding through the slime known as political rhetoric and public relations, and broadcasting live once again from the capital of the drone star state here in FEMA Region 6 Austin Tejas. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where i'm doing my best to avoid toe fungus...I'm John C. DuBois. Yeah, it's all over the place apparently. I've watched television... Oh no! There is a fungus among us! Oh nose! Really? Okay Hey let me start off John by uh... I'm very excited with some very exciting news Of course we have discussed on this program for eight years Dvorak's law of economic depression and today i am proud to announce that we can add a little bit to it and I think that we should capture this right away to make it your own

01:05 Okay, I'm all in maybe review first Dvorak's law. What is that? Oh no what this law is have plenty of them about the hooker There's a 40-year cycle about it because said depression know about the hookers oh yes Talked about it all the time It's kind of humiliating No not at all yes apparently during an economic downturn the hookers are better looking and cheaper And let me slide in with this beauty, which comes to us from an actual study done. Who was this? This was done by... I have to find out which... Anyway it's published on Medline so it's a real study. Abstract!

01:54 Although consumer spending typically declines in economic recessions, some observers have noted that recessions appear to increase women's spending on beauty products. The so-called lipstick effect! Using both historical spending data and rigorous experiments, the authors examine how and why economic recessions influence women's consumer behavior. Findings revealed that necessary cues—whether naturally occurring or experimentally primed—decrease desire for most products e.g., electronics household items However these cues consistently increased women's desire for products that increase attractiveness to mates

02:34 The first experimental demonstration of the lipstick effect. Additional studies show that this effect is driven by women's desire to attract mates with resources... With resources? Hey, I'm a podcaster full of resources over here! Depends on the perceived mate attraction function served by these products In addition to showing how and why economic recessions influence women's desire for beauty products, this research provides novel insights into women's mating psychology, consumer behavior and the relationship between the two. This is primal stuff! And it's helping Dvorak's law directly... a direct correlation." Yeah I think it's in edition yeah. It would fit right in. We should publish it. I'm gonna do a book on this. Finally!

Texas Weather Patterns, Lake Travis Water Level Recovery

Recent heavy rainfall in Austin, Houston, and Corpus Christi has led to flood alerts across Texas. Lake Travis has reached full capacity for the first time in over a decade, necessitating water drainage into Lake Austin to prevent overflow. Despite the abundance of water, local authorities maintain level two water restrictions, which is characterized as a price-gouging tactic.

lake travis· austin· texas· flood alert· water restrictions

03:18 It's called, in the depression there is more vinegar. Or something. Make your own vinegar during the depression! I buy it So we got another flood alert here in Austin Oh yeah you guys apparently looks like you had some rain in Corpus Christi and I guess Houston again Yeah San Antonio, Houston...Houston is having problems Let me ask a question You're Texan now I think Yeah, that proves it all I know is that Texans complained bitterly and long about Lack of water during the summer. They have so much rain there especially compared to here I think is like a couple of feet or something So when when I moved to Austin which is now five years ago

04:16 had a house out by Lake Travis. And that was getting, you know the water level is getting lower and lower... You recall? Maybe I don't recall. I had pictures of the lake and you see all those docks, the dock houses for your boat, boat houses. Yeah! All up on dry land but not just a little bit but 40-50-60 feet above where the water should be. Right. but actually starting late last year, we have so much rain that Lake Travis is now so full for the first time in I believe 10 or 12 years they had to drain it off into Lake Austin. Because draining it off as if its having this high level... Into lake Austin! No because otherwise it would overflow We have a dam specifically for this If it overflows you don't want that either But yeah So seems like there need more reservoirs

05:11 Possibly, but you are right and we have more water than we need right now. But we're still under level two restrictions or some bull crap like that so they can gouge it with water prices of course. Of course, but yeah, I think that is a the downside to us shaking the rain stick for Candinavia which apparently worked work somewhere didn't work here. We have some nice hot weather every day for last three four days 80 Alright, but all right. Well that was interesting and click I just heard the sound of Why wake up everybody here we go alright what you been what you've been tracking? What have you learned there's a bunch of things There's uh there's some good stuff. I liked in Nevada stories as they come out more and more Oh wait listen oh We should probably say no. I have no idea what happened to the Egypt air flight

CHAPTER 03 / 44 Discussion

EgyptAir Flight 804 Disappearance, Media Speculation

The disappearance of EgyptAir Flight 804 is analyzed following reports of the aircraft swerving violently before vanishing. Criticism is directed at CNN and other news outlets for relying on ADS-B data from FlightTracker24, which may reflect electronic failure rather than actual flight maneuvers. While media speculation leans toward terrorism, the possibility of a catastrophic disintegration at flight level remains under consideration.

egyptair flight 804· cnn· ads-b· terrorism· flight radar

06:10 No idea. Yeah, there's no data on Sunday Hopefully we'll have the data on Sunday So there's no data There's nothing I can really say other than We really need to tell the spokesmodels On the news channel and of course CNN is they can't believe their luck They pulled Richard quest off of some some prostitute and put him out in the middle of the night But the thing that is disturbing is how everyone keeps saying, well the plane swerved violently to the left and to the right. When you look at the flight radar which is not radar or Flight Tracker 24 which is not radar it's ADS-B

06:49 When you see an icon of a plane, yes the plane is swiveling left and right. But I'm pretty sure that may have just been a piece of electronics that was swiveling left and right if you're going almost 400 miles an hour at 37000 feet and your swerving now you're breaking up is what's happening And now, oh terror! The only angle and it turned out it started last night. It was around 1230 AM. I actually went to bed with CNN sound on so you know I figured that would get some information or maybe wake up and learn something. So I wake up this morning they still don't know anything they come back with all well looks like terrorism is more likely yeah actually from a percentage standpoint the terrorism is more likely that's the cause than just

CHAPTER 04 / 44 Discussion

TSA Security Line Delays, Airport Staffing Crisis

Air travelers across the United States are facing extreme wait times at security checkpoints, leading to missed flights and passengers sleeping on cots. The TSA is under fire for a shortage of 5,000 screeners compared to three years ago, while Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson prepares to leave his post. The discussion highlights the inefficiency of Pre-Check lines and the questionable push for more canine units to solve logistical delays.

07:34 catastrophic disintegration in flight at flight level. Well, since you brought up an airplane let's play this. Okay fine yes yeah we'll get to this Egypt thing The only thing they haven't said is hey what if they just turned off the transponder for a minute to do something else that's I'm always baffled that no one ever thinks of that Did we have missing aircraft in our time? It's just gone. No transponder info. All right, what you got for... TSA revolt continues us get back on that story Good evening and we begin tonight with several developing stories first the anger mounting tonight against the TSA passengers across this country angry after missing their flights sleeping on cots because of long lines

08:21 And late today we learned of a closed-door meeting. This time the airlines on Capitol Hill fighting the TSA too, saying it must be fixed and it all comes after at least one senator said the TSA chief should be fired unless it's all fixed by Memorial Day weekend nine days from now ABC's Alex Perez leading us off Flyers are in open revolt. It's just confusion here. It is ridiculous. Are you kidding me TSA? Very frustrating! Sharing that anger on the hashtag I hate the wait check out the endless lines at O'Hare and 330 this morning then

08:58 is Newark at 430, Tucson at 5 in the morning. And tonight's dire predictions of those lines will just get worse this summer expected to be the busiest ever expectations of 231 million passengers up from 222 million last year that's 95 thousand more passengers every day but with five thousand fewer screeners than three years ago. You know we came back from from New York Monday I flew out of Newark and you wouldn't expect it but there was a half hour process getting to the gate mainly because this is just one person at the ID check and only one

09:44 and it was only a magnetometer, only one magnetometer. One belt you know if you're going to shove people down into a hub for Southwest and for JetBlue is... You know? You're gonna back up! And I... It's the idea! Yeah! And i paid attention. Screw the public. I paid attention because I was like okay this is obviously because of the slowdown uh but and the first thing that was interesting is they had a pre-check line in regular line and the regular line wasn't just it wasn't that it was the pre check was longer the regular line which is going faster People like, well they have the airport nincompoops who are custodians pretty much. But they'd say hey what line you getting into? Because they have some badge and they got a little security services badge and one guy was like where's that pre-check line? The FAA says there has to be a pre... Everyone is getting angry about the pre checkline it just stupid! The whole thing is stupid It's very stupid but let me here's a question that I have

10:41 Why? Because I haven't heard this. I've been watching this story develop and go on for the last, five or six days maybe but it's been continuing and where is the reporter... And they have these different spokespeople saying oh it's for the safety, it's just safety. Where is the question being asked How is this week different than two weeks ago? There weren't, there's not more people flying this week than there were two weeks ago before this all began. What changed? The slowdown and just putting less personnel in I guess. Just wondering why some reporter doesn't ask that question. Nobody on these network news stories talk about a slow down they talk about... They don't say look at all these lines are mile long! They don't say that there is a slowdown taking place

11:35 And that is why... They're reporting, there's no reporting. It just a- they shoot a picture of a long line and bitch about it No! It's not even- B roll they just have that on the shelf then you don't need to shoot the b-roll anymore Now they threatened to fire some guy and you know That's not gonna happen because you can't just do that Department of Homeland Security is in disarray Jeh Johnson who was the secretary of DHS Is leaving You know he's He's leaving in a month or two He doesn't care We're left with this And, you know... even if the lines were unavoidable for whatever reason. And they keep talking about we need more canine! What is that about? Every news report, We need more canine! Are you looking to start a new canine program or how does that actually help the lines? Why do you need more canines? They say it will speed up the lines and I say bullcrap. Bullcrap How's it gonna speed up the line? I don't know. I'm just regurgitating

12:34 Yeah. But I'm just bringing this up because I'm sick of the story, but I'm actually sick of the way they're handling this story that's what i'm sick of well here's here's The only thing I would request you know while Of course it has to get worked out You know because someone screwed up and you have the budgets weren't there whatever the issue is It's not the people at TSA who are you know checking you however these assholes should take a little course in being fucking nice to people I mean, I got so mad just coming back from Newark. And you stand at the other side of the magnetometer and they hold their hand like... You know just like waving you with a hand. Come on come on come on come on! And my immediate response is to go slow

13:23 That's funny, I do the same thing. And it pisses me off! Actually the way- The way I do it is like you're standing there and it's like... What is going on? And then uh..the guy kind of come on come on come on and then so what I do is I give him a quizzical look Like what should I do?! Well you can get away with that. Whaaat? Whaaaat?? I should just go full retard on him. Whaaattttt? Whaaaaaat? Whaaat? And then I'm afraid!! I can't go, oh no what's gonna happen? I'm afraid! Anything but it's flying out of Amsterdam. You know nice everyone's pleasant they're making jokes with the passengers you know they're not all so serious about it but look you can't even arrest me. It's a psychological problem that is very troublesome the way these people are acting and everybody knows

14:19 That it's a pain in the ass, but just let me just hey. Just be nice and stop yelling at me These are guys and guys ladies and ladies unless you said that and women who were hall monitors in high school They had keychains with lots of keys on it. And they have keychains with lots of keys and then they're exposed because they're on a belt, but that's not entirely fair because there are these people who are just happy to have a job is a jobs well if their happy to have a job they sure don't express that thank you That's the point then there certainly not all hall monitors a lot of them just lazy a-holes Lazy lazy

CHAPTER 05 / 44 Discussion

Nevada Democratic Convention Unrest, Bernie Sanders Supporters

Chaos erupted at the Nevada Democratic Convention as Bernie Sanders supporters protested perceived rule changes and the denial of delegate status for 64 individuals. State Party Chair Roberta Lange reported receiving death threats after the proceedings were abruptly adjourned. While party leaders express concern over potential violence at the upcoming national convention in Philadelphia, Sanders has denounced violence while maintaining that the process was rigged.

bernie sanders· roberta lange· nevada democratic convention· delegate dispute· democratic party

15:07 Yeah, well you're the hall monitors. I can I bet money on it and yes if you work for the government You serve me? I'm a well work with your program Can't raise my arms above my shoulders first big laugh for this show what's that? I'm sorry if you work for the government you serve me What am I absolutely and what am I thinking how silly of me so let's talk about the violence in Nevada oh Oh, I have an actual clip of the violence in Nevada. Okay well you play your clip and then I'll play my little series because I was...I figured it out. I thought I figured it out but somebody on Democracy Now! figures it out and is like ah. Well here I have 30 seconds this is when Roberta Lange, I believe she's the chair of the Nevada Democratic

15:56 committee, convention something else and where she says okay it's all the motion adopted all yays all nays you can't barely hear anything and then just listen to the response of the mainly Bernie supporters I presume in this clip. Listen to her. What the f***?

16:43 Yeah, it's called democracy. It is called your democracy people that's how it works very very very very good So violence broke out the cops had to be called in all kinds of things happened People were throwing chairs and it's because which I dispute I have not seen a single chair thrown in any lost chair throw Okay, I hadn't seen it. I hadn't seen yeah And it wasn't you know wasn't like Tossed the way into the ages throwing. It's like a little toy wasn't even at Bobby Knight toss, but I saw it a chair being tossed and So we have a bunch of different things a lot of this seems to be rigged and bullcrap And I think the whole thing is hilarious now when you say when you say rigged What do you mean? The the actual invention? I'm just saying rig now. I'm going to explain later. I don't Go go let's go with a couple of clips here's the

17:37 Let's go with Sanders vi- no, uh... Sanders violent turn best threat. This is the ABC report which played this up quite nicely These images of angry Bernie Sanders supporters fighting over delegates in Nevada tonight coming to represent a nasty feud shaking up the Democratic Party. It got so bad, the state party chair received death threats. We should be hung in the middle of town held dead. You're a disgrace to the American people Sanders denouncing the violence, but after another hard-fought primary night he's still vowing to stay in the race. We are into the last ballot is passed! We have a possibility of going to Philadelphia with a majority of the pledge delegates But reality is that nearly impossible To take the lead among pledged delegates Sanders needs to win 67% of those still up for grabs

18:39 And that defiance from his supporters now has some Democratic Party leaders worried that it's their convention that could take a violent turn. Well, a couple of things one I've heard this all he needs this much he needs this much to give and get anywhere and there's been going on for months so this is continuing as you know It's all still based on these superdelegates which are not up for grabs but they should be. Let's play Sanders' violent turn 2. Okie dokie... Is this Feinstein? We can just spot these people with their voices.

Hillary Clinton Speaking Fees, Goldman Sachs Transcripts

New financial records reveal that Hillary and Bill Clinton earned millions in speaking fees during 2015, with Hillary raking in $1.5 million for six speeches. A report from a source at Goldman Sachs suggests these "speeches" were actually brief 15-minute Q&A sessions in informal settings. The lack of transcripts and the high pay for minimal effort lead to allegations that these payments function as political bribes.

hillary clinton· goldman sacks· speaking fees· bill clinton· financial disclosure

19:26 Because I worry about what it does to the electric as a whole and he should too. As this plays out, Hillary Clinton in the spotlight once again for those controversial speaking fees new financial records show Clinton raking in nearly 1.5 million dollars for six speeches last year her husband bill 22 speeches for over five million dollars. I got an email about that from one of our producers who works at Goldman Sachs If you would like to hear that, hold on. It was really... of course my general thinking is that there were no speeches! Which is a very nice thesis I like it

20:11 Hold on a second. Did he hear his speech? Well, no I'm looking for the email but i'll paraphrase so he saw one speech and he knows of no others at Goldman Sachs and he knows of know any other colleagues in the industry who have ever seen any speech from Hillary Clinton And he says it was really not a speech It was a 15 minute Q&A like in the lunchroom pretty much And so his conclusion is that, you know maybe she just did phone calls. Because the thing is you cannot just take a check I mean that would show up somewhere if you didn't...I mean there's all kinds of records but maybe it was you know just a small setting but it was Q&A and

20:58 So either there were no speeches, so there are no transcripts or the speeches are so non-existent in these Q&A formats that people would go wait a minute you sat down for 15 minutes have you got $250,000? Yeah it's just a bribe. Yes but this is...it just furthers the deconstruction of the thinking that she has nothing to show and what she may have to show is so short and so minut It would be embarrassing. Yeah, it is embarrassing that this is all gonna get there's all kinds of stuff going on She's gonna have nothing but trouble let's go to This is no this is another ABC report on a different day This is the Sanders on ABC the reason I want this because he's got Debbie Wasserman Schultz Getting all nervous about all this I reject

CHAPTER 07 / 44 Discussion

Democratic Party Leadership, Vocal Fry Commentary

Democratic leaders including Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Barbara Boxer criticize the Sanders campaign for "fanning the flames" of discontent. A commentary on a Democracy Now segment notes the use of "vocal fry" by a guest discussing the history of the Democratic primary process. The segment argues that the party's selection process was never intended to be purely democratic, tracing back to the McGovern-Fraser Commission reforms.

debbie wasserman schultz· barbara boxer· vocal fry· democracy now· mcgovern

21:52 any implication that our campaign supports violence. A defiant Sanders told CBS News today that his campaign did not encourage the chaos at Nevada's Democratic Convention over the weekend. For democratic leaders in Nevada and elsewhere to suggest that our campaign has anything to do with creating violence is an outrage, unacceptable State party officials have accused the Sanders camp of convincing an irrational minority that the proceedings had been rigged against them, which led to a day of unrest. His supporters later posted this state party chair's number online and she got hundreds of threats. People like you should be hung. The crowd was out of control

22:38 California Senator Barbara Boxer tried to speak but got booed. She's one of several senators who have called their Vermont colleague to express concern He was stunned that I felt that my safety was in peril and I can only hope that as a leader, he is a leader. That he's taken care of it. Not so nice now its on the other foot that shoe huh Barbara? Trying to pick up all those environmental guys early in your career? The incident has weakened the fragile detente between Sanders and party leaders, especially with some Sanders supporters already vowing to protest at the national convention in July. It's time to move forward Party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz tried to turn the page today

23:24 Was there anything about the rules in Nevada that was unfair, that was rigged against the Sanders campaign? Absolutely not. It was eminently fair and run according to the process that was approved back in 2014 She initially said Sanders was fanning the flames of discontent but now tells us she believes he is taking the matter seriously. Anthony, party leaders are walking a tightrope here because they know they can't afford to alienate Sanders or his millions of supporters When appropriate I have a clip from a Sanders supporter who was there at the chair throwing event

24:03 I'll throw this in, this was a supporter and I think she's one of the organizers kind of on the ground there. Angie Morelli with our friend Rachel Maddow. having are petitions that we've spent a great amount of time collecting and done in accordance with the rules of the convention. We had many Hillary Clinton folks come up to us and be like, what's in those petitions? They told us not to sign them. The Hillary Clinton campaign told them not to sign them. What's in them? And we explained some of these petitions that had nothing to do with actual quote or with the actual results of what would have happened on Saturday ahead

25:01 everything We I walked up to him and was like, sir can you explain to me what would have happened in this situation if your rights were being stolen and you're representing a grand amount of people. And felt like it's not a democratic process? He looked me square in the eyes in front of my lawyer and said this is not supposed to be a democratic process

25:51 There you go Shut up slave shut up slave. Well, there was a long discussion about this on democracy now with some dingbat that had a vocal fry issue and Talking about the history of all this and the Democrats apparently it stems back to McGovern and then Jimmy Carter who were elected in a fair manner by the party, what the party wanted. I actually clipped that vocal fry woman because it's just so phenomenal. Yes she is close to the one from The New York Times and they went on with this

CHAPTER 08 / 44 Discussion

Political Dirty Tricks, Roger Stone, Watergate Tactics

The unrest within the Democratic Party is theorized to be an orchestration by Republican "dirty tricksters" like Roger Stone to exacerbate internal divisions. This strategy mirrors Watergate-era tactics used by figures such as Dick Tuck and Donald Segretti to sabotage political opponents. Reports of gunshots fired into a Sanders campaign office in Nevada are cited as evidence of high-end "mob activity" influencing the election cycle.

roger stone· donald trump· cointelpro· dick tuck· donald segretti

26:29 And it was a very interesting explanation. It's not supposed to be democratic because we've given up on you people, you're idiots! So we're going to do it ourselves is really what the message is but let me get to the point that I'm trying to make Let's first start off with some unreported news that was on Democracy Now This is a very short clip this is Sanders Nevada unreported Bernie Sanders victory in our comes amid tensions with the Democratic Party. After Sanders supporters erupted into protest Saturday at the Nevada Convention, they say rules were abruptly changed and 64 Sanders supporters were wrongly denied delegate status. Clinton ultimately won 20 pledged delegates to Sanders 15. The state party chair Roberta Lange said she received death threats while state party headquarters were vandalized Senate minority leader Harold

27:17 Ari Reid, urged Sanders to condemn the behavior of some of his supporters saying he faced a test of leadership. In a statement Senator Sanders rejected violence and noted during the Nevada campaign shots were fired into his campaign office in the state and his staff's housing complex was broken into and ransacked He also accused Nevada Democratic leadership of quote using its power to prevent a fair and transparent process at the convention Saturday Now the shots fired is a good one. That's what kind of leads me to believe that this guy's analysis coming up, this clip is Democracy Now on the Nevada Convention and Roger Stone and this is what I've believed since this whole thing began which is that

28:00 As a payback, this is Trump behind the whole thing. What happened in Nevada? Can you Jessica Stites talk about what we just saw I mean there's a police line in front of the stage I think about— And, Rick, would you like to weigh in on that? Yeah. Well, we saw the footage. It was a very contested convention. The Clinton folks say the Sanders folks knew the rules in advance and then complained when the rules didn't advantage them. The Sanders folks say that basically we have an establishment that's trying

28:39 assert their powers. I think when I look back historically, I see the attempts to exacerbate these divisions as possibly a strategy of Donald Trump and the Republicans. He has an ally named Roger Stone who was part of Watergate. The whole strategy of Watergate all through 1972 was to create division that were based in real divisions but to exacerbate them so like A Roger Stone type figure would steal letterhead from one of the Democratic candidates, write a letter accusing another Democratic candidate of cheating and then get that out to the media. Right? So the idea is if Democrats can't get back- That is an incredibly simple hack! I'd never even thought of that just use someone else's letterhead or spoof an email good idea

29:30 Yep, I like that. So the idea is if Democrats can't get back together in the general election then the Democrats can't win now these divisions are real and anger is real but the exploitation of it is very similar to kind what the FBI did in COINTELPRO they take real divisions and try and turn them into I a document in which Michael Deaver, Ronald Reagan's longtime aide tries to pitch Ronald Reagan as a columnist for the National Enquirer in 1975.

30:23 Okay, now it seems to me that this is a this is a well-deserved payback for Bernie That's what the gunshots seem to be coming from I had not heard that at all about gunshots. Yeah They kept that quiet yeah, so there's a couple of shots fired into the headquarters You want to send a bunch of thugs over to our rallies? Take a couple of shots until you're to your office or what do you think right because this is like we're now dealing with some high end mob activity and And I can just see this whole thing being orchestrated by some dirty tricksters. And this is going to be... I think that's a very, very, very, very...I'm all in on that. Yeah, dirtiest tricksters. This is gonna be one of the worst since the early days of the first Nixon administration where you had these famous dirty tricksters. Dick Tuck! People should look him up.

31:17 Dick Tuck used to dress in costumes. Every time Nixon would show up there'd be some costume, he had some sign. Dick Tuck is a very interesting character and it resulted in Nixon having to hire couple of these same kinds of goons to uh... be his dirty trick guys like one of them segretti donald segretti is a name that comes to mind was another one of these characters and roger stone i guess is another one You know, this will be fun. This'll be fun to watch but if our listeners will catch most of it I think because we will have deconstructed a lot of it and so you say oh that's that makes sense The general public will have no clue in this is gonna be hilarious to watch how they react all these are producers Unanimously caught something on CNN during the voting in the primary Regarding

Kentucky Primary Voting Glitches, Fayette County Results

During the Kentucky primary, a "machine counting problem" in Fayette County caused a delay in reporting. Once the glitch was resolved, a large jump in votes erased Bernie Sanders' narrow lead, handing the advantage to Hillary Clinton. The incident fuels skepticism regarding the reliability of electronic voting machines and the influence of establishment interests in primary outcomes.

kentucky primary· fayette county· voting machines· bernie sanders· hillary clinton

32:15 My favorite topic, the voting machines which I'm against as you know very against it. The voting machines are a plague Yeah they were a plague and they were a problem A competitive race that lead at the moment for Senator Sanders who had a seesaw in the last 30 minutes or so Senator Sanders up 46.9 to 46% So essentially one point lead for Senator Sanders One of the things we're waiting for is I've been talking all night long about Fayette County, the Lexington area where you do have a significant African-American base. This is key to Secretary Clinton's hope in the states as you see she has had this consistent 10 point lead it's consistent because we've been stuck at 8% for quite a long time now We are told there was a machine counting problem in Fayette County that they expect to have resolved and we are expecting to get a rather large jump in the percentage of the returns from Fayette County pretty soon. And that will be very telling about the race going forward because as you come back out statewide and take a look again, Senator Sanders with a narrow lead but there are more than enough votes in Fayette County and also here in Jefferson County. So there's Sanders in the lead at moments

33:09 Moments later, the glitch is fixed. As we go through the final 18% of the vote as you noted 47 to 46%. You see the .2s there if you want add those in one thing that were waiting for was Fayette County which last time it was at 8%, now it's 100%. They had a machine counting problem and all the votes came in once and snap you see the lead here Secretary Clinton when it was at eight percent had a ten point lead that went down a bit. Then all sudden snap, she was winning! Fantastic. Yeah, there's a number of states where this has been a problem. She is obviously buying votes. It's something...something. Yeah well nobody wants Bernie in there he is like an outside screwball you don't need this guy same way nobody wanted Trump. Trump managed to push his way through what should have not happened I mean we shouldn't be looking at Trump

34:01 But they couldn't do anything about it because of one reason or another, now everyone's bailing out on their... I'd never support the guy, Adelson Shelley. He said, well he said, I wouldn't vote for this guy and then next thing you know he's going to give him a hundred million which is the latest and then of course the Koch brothers are not in on this guy which would think that these Democrats would be kind You know, my favorite thing is the Koch brothers say we're going to vote for Hillary. Hell with you guys! Right? And you'd think because of the whole theory is whatever the Koch brothers want they control the world with their money They would say oh great give Hillary the money Yeah But no-no like they don't yeah so this is all crap There certainly was a lot of talk still about Donald Trump Of course there's a long awaited interview with Megyn Kelly

CHAPTER 10 / 44 Discussion

Megyn Kelly Interview, Settle for More Book Launch

Megyn Kelly's highly publicized interview with Donald Trump is dismissed as a PR exercise designed to promote her upcoming book, "Settle for More." The interview was noted for its cordial tone, contrasting with their previous public feud. Kelly's book promises to discuss her "year with Donald Trump," which is characterized as a strategic move to capitalize on the political drama.

megyn kelly· donald trump· fox news· settle for more· book deal

34:53 Which was a total dud of an interview, who cares? They were nice and cordial. Kelly could... I think I counted five different outfits for the different interviews she did She used the red outfit from Donald. The red one yeah And then she had four or five inch spike heels on Yeah so it's fine With her foot all twisted up to look like a sexy foot even though it looks pretty big to me Not that I'm not of knowledge What is Megan Kelly's shoe size? Sorry, I don't know the answer. We'll go find out 12 Well This was grooming her because the Shapiro interview is the only one that was interesting But this was grooming her for something and I don't know why no it is okay wasn't grooming This is PR well in addition to the Kelly file I have been working on a project

35:49 A book which I'm unveiling right now. It's called Settle for More, my life motto." I saw this and didn't put it two and two together sorry. Yeah that is the main thing. She is going big with this. Ever since I was an unhappy lawyer years ago. The book shows how I did just that. with some tears and laughs along the way. And yes, for the first time I will speak openly about my year with Donald Trump You can pre-order it now wherever books are sold Was she dating him or what? She did the case doesn't she? Yeah by Year With Donald Trump Her Year With Donald Trump consists of what interviewing him once and then giving a crap on the book Well you know if i had to choose between My Year with Donald Trump or Vinegar The Book

Ivanka Trump Interview, Financial Disclosure Statements

Ivanka Trump appeared on CBS to defend her father against a New York Times article regarding his treatment of women. While she appeared composed on camera, her voice was noted to be quivering, suggesting internal stress. Simultaneously, Donald Trump filed financial disclosures claiming a net worth exceeding $10 billion and expressed a willingness to negotiate directly with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

ivanka trump· donald trump· nora o'donnell· cbs news· financial disclosure

36:35 I don't know. No, just saying maybe... Well, I guess I should do a book called My Year with Donald Trump. How about My Year With Vinegar? Nothing wrong with that! More than a year and that's the problem. Let's go on. Yeah, I want to get one since you brought up Trump let me bring up this thing this was the CBS Nora O'Donnell interviewing there is kind of a Trump rundown and i think in here she interviews Ivanka and Ivanka is you could I did when you watch her she looks cool as a cucumber yeah she's just beautiful too. She looks cool as a cucumber if you just listen, as you will on this clip, she sounds like a nervous wreck today Donald Trump said he is worth more than

37:21 than $10 billion. That was the bottom line in his financial disclosure statement filed with the Federal Election Commission The statement shows that Trump's net worth increased in the past year His income topped 557 million dollars not including dividends, interest capital gains rents and royalties Also today, Trump told Reuters that he would be willing to talk directly to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un about the nuclear program in that country. That would be a major shift in U.S. policy. Our Nora O'Donnell talked to Trump's daughter Ivanka today

38:01 I'm gonna ask you about the New York Times. They ran a front-page article this Sunday about your father and the treatment of women Did you read it? I did and I found it to be pretty disturbing based on the facts as I know them both in the capacity as a daughter and In the capacity as I heard it right there, I heard the quivering Yeah, she's quivering bad. And I'm telling you when you watch this... I saw it! But I saw it. I did not notice it. I was too busy just looking at her like oh my god how does someone create this creature? She's a nervous wreck. She had the baby what like four weeks ago yeah this girl is dynamite and she's got no cankles nothing. It's unbelievable. Adamatcurry.com please but yeah I could barely

38:49 Pay attention. Oh my god, this is so stunning She covered it up with their beauty It was astonishing because I listened to the clip when I was producing and said holy crap She's a nervous wreck and O'Donnell was an asshole. No she she was hounding her I wonder if she would have Chelsea that way She had, and she had I have a picture. I gave one screen capture and she's got her nose in the air And she's giving her a dirty look yeah, and even at the beginning of the thing where she says did you read it? She had a very snotty sound to her voice. She is a bigot Yeah, she hates the Trumps yeah, and she hates this woman Yeah Which is I think was reflected in her nervousness both in the capacity as a daughter

39:36 and in the capacity as an executive who's worked alongside of him at this company for over a decade. So I was bothered by it most of the time when stories are inaccurate they're not discredited, and i will be frustrated by that but in this case I think they went so far. They had such a strong thesis and created facts to reinforce it and there is backlash on in that regard But the New York Times stands by its story. So, yeah I agree well she's very good at that she's very good at covering it up that's very good but she was definitely nervous I agree you know regarding the Donald Trump Kim Jong-un which of course is exactly what we should be doing and by the way i think there's something ironic about your uncle Don

North Korea Policy Shift, Kim Jong-un Negotiations

Donald Trump has signaled a major shift in U.S. foreign policy by stating he would be willing to speak directly with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Critics point to Trump's previous comments calling Kim a "total nutjob" to highlight inconsistency. The media's pronunciation of the North Korean leader's name is also mocked, noting variations like "Kim Young-un."

donald trump· kim jong-un· north korea· nuclear program· foreign policy

40:28 who apparently is all in for Hillary for some reason. Well, no they're not all in they are going to hold their nose and vote for Hillary. Okay oh yeah that's what they are all gonna do. Hold our noses and vote for Hillary. This would be the opportunity for him to be the go-to guy Exactly, exactly. Wow! So here I got a couple clips regarding this Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has caused a stir once again This time he's declared he is willing to talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un To discuss Pyongyang nuclear program The proposed meeting would mark a significant change of US policy towards the politically isolated regime

41:11 I would speak to him. I would have no problem speaking to him. All right, so of course we have an ISO. Can you stop for a second? This woman and i heard this before she said Kim Young-un It's always been Kim Jong-un. This is the second time I've heard somebody say that, because it was an accident. No this is a European report because the J in many European languages is pronounced as a Y Or is utilized as a why. I was thinking it was on CBS too, but okay So you so Jugend Hitler Jugend not jugend? Well nobody says jugens No that's my point But that's why they're making that mistake it's for the same reason that people don't say Madonna to say Madonna

41:58 Madonna. Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs! Dynasty, yeah all my favorites alright here's a Lyso well I think it's a serious problem because he's probably on the wacky side he certainly could be in total nutjob okay so we have Trump that's what you do you go out and get the old clip of him saying is a total nut job and here is the Red Book predicted Korean news report Okay, put it in the red book. Yeah you nailed it! Now I have a couple other things of note

CHAPTER 13 / 44 Discussion

Media Memes, Trump Muslim Ban Context

The media is accused of stripping context from Donald Trump's statements, specifically regarding his proposed "Muslim ban," which he later described as a "suggestion." In context, Trump argued the ban was a temporary measure pending a better understanding of radical Islamic terrorism. A similar critique is applied to a Hillary Clinton clip where she discusses using language as a weapon, which can be easily edited to change its meaning.

donald trump· muslim ban· media bias· memes· hillary clinton

42:47 Let me see, I have... Oh yeah! But i wanted to follow up on this because we were talking about and you also spent some time in the newsletter about how things are taken out of context and even statement is made at the beginning. For instance like an example Donald Trump says oh now all of his Muslim ban was just a suggestion then of course that's disproven or it isn't you know, then that is barely reported on and then it just all...you know the original suggestion the original psychological suggestion that he is now...that's all just a suggestion. It's what sticks in everybody's mind right?

43:32 Yeah. Okay, you guys are right. Yep yep so I thought for a moment let's just... These are memes these memes are just out there they're out of control and it is very it's very very easy to do So here's the full Donald Trump quote because of course the headline is Donald Trump now says oh no that was just a suggestion Now The Muslim Ban was a suggestion this is used everywhere but she uses a punchline I heard from Obama bots on the street yeah just a suggestion blah blah blah okay So here's in context a serious problem. It's a temporary ban it hasn't been called for yet Nobody's done it this is just a suggestion until we find out what's going on, but we have radical Islamic terrorism all over the world I mean you can start at the World Trade Center frankly You can go to Paris you can go to San Bernardino all over the world And I think it's a little different when you hear it in context He's not saying oh that was just a suggestion he says no one's doing it yet suggestion This is where we should do

44:28 I find that to be quite different. Yeah, I think you're right but no one the nuances are not to be dealt with. Well, let me see if I can launch one. I got a clip of my own. We should be using language as a weapon to divide Americans. Perfect! Hillary says we should use language as a weapon to divide Americans. Play that one again. You should be using language as a weapon to divide Americans. Isn't that beautiful? That's a killer would you like to hear it in context no i'm fine with that Acknowledge that we have very serious differences, but this is not a place nor. Is this a subject where we should be using language as? A weapon to divide Americans see how easy it is yeah anyway You can pull that clip out of the the show notes eight two six no agenda notes calm Let's see if we can launch something of our own let me see then I have ah yes We need to get down to

CHAPTER 14 / 44 Discussion

Clinton Foundation Scrutiny, Wall Street Speeches

Mainstream media figures like Mika Brzezinski and Andrea Mitchell have begun questioning Hillary Clinton's judgment regarding her Wall Street speaking fees and private email server. Critics argue these were "self-inflicted wounds" that reinforce public distrust. The timing of the speeches, occurring just weeks before her presidential announcement, is highlighted as particularly problematic.

hillary clinton· clinton foundation· wall street· andrea mitchell· mika brzezinski

45:33 The Clinton Foundation. I do have a couple clips here about... I have only one, I've got one from Judge Napolitano Oh good! We'll end with that because I have one before then I want to end with the judge First here's Mika from the Brzezinski, the elite daughter Don't you wanna get ahead of it? Before somebody gets their hands on these transcripts No I really don't No, I really don't You know why she is saying that because no there isn't nobody getting their hands on anything cause they don't really exist Andrea Mitchell now with criticism over the Wall Street speeches. So in the first couple of months of 2015 she knew she was going to run, and announced in April between January and April she made a million-and-a-half dollars in speeches including speeches of 200 thousand plus 315 thousand plus only weeks before she was announcing I still wonder about the judgment that Bill Clinton while he was running still making speeches four million plus in their financial disclosure. There's some perplexing thing

46:31 toughest issues she's had to deal with in these primaries, which would be the speeches she gave on Wall Street and her use of an exclusive email server for Secretary of State. Both are decisions she made herself. These are completely self-inflicted wounds and it makes you wonder... You know, she knew she was either going to run for president or that she might run for president even at the point she became secretary of state so why did she take these actions that are guaranteed to reinforce some of the questions about her her behavior, you know. Her judgment I don't understand it." No well you're laying it out for us obvious bribes and she just took the risk of doing it late in the game yeah no scenario she doesn't get the job as president and she still has got the money exactly here is the president

Obama Commencement Speeches, Political Rhetoric

President Obama's commencement speeches at Rutgers and other universities are criticized for focusing on political attacks against Donald Trump rather than inspiring graduates. Obama's remarks targeted the idea that "ignorance is a virtue" and challenged the rejection of political correctness. The use of graduation ceremonies as a platform for partisan campaigning is noted as a departure from tradition.

barack obama· rutgers university· commencement speech· political correctness· donald trump

47:13 at Princeton, where he was doing the commencement speech and he took a little time to... But I saw headlines as slammed him, slammed him. President slammed him! It was okay. The world is more interconnected than ever before and it's becoming more connected every day building walls won't change that isolating or disparaging Muslims in politics and in life Ignorance is not a virtue. It's not cool to not know what you're talking about! at Stanford, where he was inspirational and it was about the future and what these ladies and gentlemen could do. His advice was don't follow your heart or mess around. And what does the president do? Talks about him and about his elections and his party and how stupid Donald Trump is great message really really inspiring that's perfect for commencement. It's not cool to not know what you're talking about! Yay because your students ate it up

48:29 That's not keeping it real or telling like it is. It's not challenging political correctness. All right, so now I have a rather long clip which is a whistleblower. This just came out recently. Lots of ink. Yes Charles Ortell. Lots of air yeah Now should we play you an Apollo Napolitano first or after? Well, the Napolitano clip is not as good a clip as I'd hoped to get because he was rambling just like this guy you're going to play. He was rambling? Yeah well but that's why he said such a long clip it's kind of a...I have a pretty good summary i think we can play at last okay what uh Napolitano

CHAPTER 16 / 44 Discussion

Clinton Foundation Fraud Allegations, Charles Ortell Whistleblower

Financial analyst Charles Ortell has released reports alleging massive fraud within the Clinton Foundation, claiming it has never had a compliant audit since its inception in 1997. Ortell asserts that the foundation improperly mixed non-profit work with for-profit activities and functioned as a "solicitation fraud." Judge Andrew Napolitano confirms that the FBI is investigating the relationship between foundation donations and State Department policy decisions.

charles ortell· clinton foundation· fraud· fbi· judge napolitano

49:11 Yeah, because it doesn't go into all of it but it goes into just enough that makes a... Because he concludes well. He's a good concluder So this is Charles Ortell Clinton Foundation fraud whistleblower as did he write a book? I presume you did Not yet, he's a... you know I've been trying to figure out this guy got uh... Who is this guy? He's an Wall Street analyst from what i can tell. But I'm not absolutely sure. I think he has done the work and I think this just beginning of the end for The Clinton Foundation because we've been tracking it since Haiti with the bull crap, you know just collecting money. Oh yeah and there's a bunch of interesting tidbits about what you're supposed to do when you collect money for disasters which apparently they didn't follow any of the right rules. Yeah there is alot of that

49:58 Okay, we'll listen to him. This was on Fox Business News which is a smaller venue for I think a story as big as this. After looking into the Clinton Global Initiative records on more than one year Charles Ortell financial whistleblower and analyst found major discrepancies that he says could be fraud. He joins me now I just want to explain to our audience, you know, you are somebody who looks into these very detailed financial records. It is a ton of work it took you 15 months to do this. You're somebody that correctly identified the problems at both GE and AIG so this is not a political thing. This numbers and this finance is hard work. It's your business now looking inside this

50:39 started to go through your reports, you have 40 reports that you're going to be releasing. One thing that jumped out at me I mean there are so many details but one of the biggest is this idea that Bill Clinton paid himself and collected payments from something called Laureate for $16.5 million dollars This is related to The Foundation explain that relationship to us Sure in a foundation unlike typical business activities You're not actually allowed to mix Not-for-profit work with for profit workers strictly not allowed to do it And Bill Clinton has actually from the very beginning been taking payments from donors for speeches. Hillary's been taking payments for speeches, for business activities that have not been disclosed in the financial filing to the foundation with the way they need to be. Last week The Wall Street Journal had a big piece about a $2 million investment that was a private deal arranged through the global initiative This is a far bigger thing this is a multi-billion dollar deal that was in trouble

51:36 that agreed to prop itself up by hiring Bill Clinton as chancellor of this for-profit university system globally. Sounds like Trump University. It's way bigger! Is it, is it...is this illegal? Is it fraud? I mean this idea of coming link is that's one of the major themes here is the idea that they mixed for-profit business with their nonprofit Company and then also government influence. What would you call that? I mean, is it fraud? Is it illegal can you go to jail what is that well Yeah, I mean there's various aspects to this set of illegal activities There are operating solicitation frauds And those are the easiest things to understand when you have a charity or and you're soliciting in states, in foreign countries. You absolutely have to file truthful disclosures and you can't slough it off on accountants or the executives. The trustees are responsible for doing that. And the IRS and tax authorities don't trust you they require you get audits. The Clinton Foundation no part of it has ever gotten a compliant audit since inception October 23rd 1997 That's something that is required everywhere I mean now everyone gets financial audits They're not doing that

52:37 Actually, I don't think that's a law. That is something that is done but not so sure it's an actual requirement that you have the statements audited for your regular 990s, but whatever. I heard this guy in a different interview apparently if you are... A lot of states require some sort of proof that you can be tagged because people who are donating and taking off their taxes That's what is the problem here All right minute left. I'm doing that you say that there were disclosures on one side about how much people had given And disclosure from the foundation about what they had been given didn't match What do you make of that? Well, this is big stuff and it gets to the heart of the controversy The lowest learner controversy the IRS has all this information

53:28 they have extensive files. So when you have a foundation and you make donations, you have to list out in your filings who got the money. Similarly, you have to list out on these filings for the IRS only not for the public who gave you big donations so anybody in the IRS...I did this myself! I'm one person it's taken me 15 months But I took the big donors, the big governments and foundations and looked through their filings and compared them with what they said they gave to the Clinton Foundation. With what the Clinton Foundation says it receives in press releases and other disclosures And there are massive discrepancies The final thing, you say that they only give—I mean this is something I always get stuck on. They only use 10 percent of their budget towards charitable good works what they're actually supposed to do. I mean the rest of it amazingly 33% to salaries and benefits 47% all

54:17 of their expenses, which raises the question is this even a charity? I mean isn't that the essential question. No it's absolutely essential question because you can't just say we couldn't just form a charity and go off to Europe. You have to have a specific tax-exempt charitable purpose and there is no evidence that The Clinton Foundation was ever approved to be anything other than a library and research facility in Little Rock I didn't know that either. Yeah, this i think is a harbinger of things to come john and I use that word specifically this just so you know the word Harbinger which we discovered on the previous episode I'm hearing everywhere Well, it's a harbinger for sure. They're going to see if it has legs... This is being rolled out in the very polite way and I'm not sure how far its gonna go but here's Napolitano We don't know how much people took in that the foundation brought in we don't know where they all went He also going to show a lack of authorization by the federal government and by state governments to solicit funds

55:19 in the amount and in the manner that the clinton foundation did he has also provided the fbi with much of this information which is intrigued to the fbi report it has begun an investigation of the relationship of the clinton foundation president clinton speaking fees and secretary of state clinton's decisions while she was the secretary of state made according to mister or tells records and the records are from republic documents to benefit people that had, and foreign entities that had contributed to the foundation. You follow all of this? I do but... This is a public corruption investigation of primarily Mrs Clinton secondarily the former president and their foundation Maybe next time remove the sock from the microphone

CHAPTER 17 / 44 Discussion

New York Times Misogyny, Slut Shaming Allegations

The New York Times is accused of "slut shaming" Rowanne Brewer Lane in a front-page article about Donald Trump's past relationships. Lane has publicly stated that the Times took her words out of context to fit a negative thesis. The reporters are criticized for their condescending tone and for implying that Lane's romantic involvement with Trump discredited her professional experiences.

new york times· donald trump· rowanne brewer lane· slut shaming· media ethics

56:08 That was taken off the internet. I could not get it any better. Well, what someone needs to do is just look at the donations then look at the State Department or other policy decisions that were made. Of course, the news media should have been doing this all along but they're all in for wanting her to be president! This is unbelievable to me. It is And then they run a front page article on Trump that doesn't like women or some bull crap. Oh, I have...let me see..I have a clip of the two reporters who wrote that from The New York Times? Do you have a clip of the one woman who they cited mostly and she comes out and says this is bull crap, this is not the way it was supposed to be interpreted No, I don't have that. She was all over the news so I figured people had seen that we didn't need to necessarily do that

56:55 But yeah, one woman was like the one is that this particular clip is about. She says it's totally untrue. This is not at all my experience with Donald Trump and on CNN they brought these two to account. And this is... Can I stop you for a second? Sure. Just so we can remind our producers that the Democrat Party has really banking on women to vote Democratic. They do it with the gun control issues, they do it with this other kinds of scare tactics... The abortion, white men, white Republican man old white man straight man cisgendered man menmenmenmenmehnmennlemen Yeah I was gonna say men

57:41 Oh, they've had so many people on that show. I guess we could be the new Aston Kutcher and you could be a... I think this shows off the air. Here we go! This is these two reporters and you have to see them really to fully appreciate the douchebaggery of them it's like no. And as you'll see like i think one of the things that readers noted with our story was that we kind of changed the format a little bit we wanted to had this be an opportunity to hear these women in their own words as much as possible and so that's why you had large chunks of excerpts from our interviews. All taken out of context, notice how she said we changed the format up a little? That's not something that just happens overnight at a publication like The New York Times would you agree with? Oh let me tell ya having written for The New York Times

58:28 This place is outrageous with their controls, the editorial controls. I mean...I wrote a piece once on Comdex and I had to go over it with the editor to make sure that every word I'd use has been approved. I mean you talk about every word has to be an approved word so it got to the point where there's this one phrase I was complaining about the showgoers hitting on the booth bimbos. Oh boy, yeah! That got taken out. It was a concern that she spent a bunch of time with the editor... She was concerned on the usage of the term hitting-on. Oh wow

59:10 Okay, because they found it Frank Rich had used the word or somebody had his oh your gold. She said You can use hitting on because it was like its very very control so if something like this you don't there's nothing just what I saw he was mr Donald and Mr.. Harold and mister this and mister that yeah, and IBM is always I dot B dot m dot yeah It's this is a very, very rigid operation. So if they're bending the rules and changing the format, they're changing it up a little bit. That's not something that happens overnight. Certainly not just right. This is a scam for front page story as much as possible. And so that's why you had large chunks of excerpts from our interviews

59:53 And so, you know we thought that was a really powerful way to kind of capture the experiences of variety of women inside and outside the workplace. Guys she very clearly uses the words it was misleading, you took her word out of context, you didn't fully quote her is what she suggests. You know she said she called something flattering right after one these anecdotes As a journalist, that's concerning. She can barely say... Oh it's the New York Times I gotta be careful I might want to job there one day. Journalist... Isn't that concerning? As a journalist that is concerning! What do you guys think happened?

1:00:33 You know, when I interviewed Roanne she was very clearly... She used the word taken aback at one point about that example. I think it's pretty clear from the fact that she went on to date him that she had a big big experience with him. It was an encompassing one, it started off with her being asked to put on a bathing suit and taken out to the pool And by the end she was traveling with him Atlantic City in a helicopter This is one of them this is one of the most misogynistic disgusting things I've ever heard from anyone from The New York Times How dare you sir?

1:01:09 How very dare you accuse a woman of jumping into bed with someone because it started with the here's and put this bathing suit on. They assassinated this woman's character! It was just totally that she's making it sound that way, but in fact... If you're like at a pool, hey put on bathing suit and go do some swimming. Would you like to take a ride in the chopper? I'm going over here if you want to come." It seems casual to me... Hey look at this thing! You wanna touch it?! Of course that's how it works! Where is that in the story!? I wish!! But obviously they are saying oh this woman is just a slut. This is slut shaming

1:01:51 It really is. Especially because the woman, Rowan whatever Roman or whatever her name is she says this is not exotic at all my experience it was not some predator who came after me and you know hung some trinkets on me like a bathing suit and then boom bingo boom shakalaka And by the way even if it was that way Even if it was that way grown women can do whatever she wants Here's The New York Times morality police saying oh what a slut Yeah, you're right. This is total slut shaming it's... It is... I can't use the word. It's shameful but because of the slut shame and shame if I can think of something else. It's ridiculous! These people should be fired

1:02:34 Well, they're not gonna get fired. They're doing the job that they're told to do apparently but this was storytelling This is all or this is again, you know Accompanying one it started off with her being asked to put on a bathing suit and taken out to the pool and by the end she was traveling with him Atlantic City in a helicopter And I we quoted her warmly and at length and yeah We pointed out that she went on to have a whirlwind romance with him Oh man Okay, well that's your story. That's exactly how you think of how other women act. It is shameful for the gay guy and this cute girl to sit there and say, well we quoted her warmly. What does that mean? Is that in the guidebook at The New York Times? Please quote all your sources warmly. I think that Trump if he's going to get anywhere, he's going to have to make peace with the CIA

CHAPTER 18 / 44 Discussion

Intelligence Community Influence, Operation Mockingbird

The discussion explores the historical and ongoing influence of the CIA on American media, referencing Operation Mockingbird and Carl Bernstein's reporting on the subject. It is suggested that Donald Trump will eventually need to "make peace" with the intelligence community to avoid continued media assassination. The New York Times and CBS are identified as primary outlets for state-sponsored narratives.

1:03:31 That's what this is. I could be wrong, I mean, I don't know for a fact because I'm not in any part of this system but this paper and CBS...CBS is the other one. I've started to watch them more and it's like oh brother they're really slipping it in there even ABC's a little you know they've kind of given in and they've given Trump some slack and pushing Bernie a little bit yeah because they were the Jeb Bush thing. NBC, I have not really followed them and start following him on a drop ABC and start watching NBC. And but CBS is the worst than they were cited like it's in The Last Show and Carl Bernstein's long essay on the CIA and the media. Yeah. And The New York Times is another sellout operation where they just do what their toll we know that Operation Mockingbird Operation Pundit all of these CIA programs

1:04:25 We're all uncovered as the church Commission committee right think coming it was which was eventually reversed all this does all the findings and most of the information has been Disappeared but Trump's gonna have to make peace with these guys because they're gonna just keep doing this crap Even though it hasn't been effective. That's the diary I'd be careful they do run the drone program so yeah, be a little careful then my final clip for me was Bill Kristol, one of the original neocons co-author of the project for a new American century that called for the new Pearl Harbor before 9 11 and considered to be one of the Republican elite.

CHAPTER 20 / 44 Discussion

Media Polling Scams, Campaign Spending Strategies

The media is accused of manipulating poll results to create the appearance of a "close race" to maximize advertising revenue from political campaigns. While Hillary Clinton has a massive cash advantage, Donald Trump's reliance on free media and social networks like Twitter disrupts traditional spending models. The recent $100 million pledge from Sheldon Adelson to Trump is seen as a signal for other Republicans to fall in line.

polling· campaign finance· donald trump· hillary clinton· adelson

1:08:26 Well, I have one thing at least to kind of summarize some of this. They've already got the cash machine geared up ready To go and let's play this clip. This is just from yesterday in yesterday's news new polls Okay, new polls. Donald Trump with key meetings today. He hopes will send a new message about foreign policy and what his financial disclosure forms reveal About his wealth here's ABCs Tom Yamas with the numbers he still won't release his tax, okay? That's I don't know how they got out of there, but it is there was a couple things

1:09:19 This is, you know...you know they strategize this because you've been in these kinds of executive meetings. So you're sitting around and you know the poll scam and how it works? And we've talked about this on this show for years. Yeah, for advertising results. You want to get the most money into the coffers of the networks or the newspaper, whatever you are. Close race, close polling. So when making a close race always. Now, it's always been if you remember the very beginning of the primaries. It was always Oh Trumps got a ceiling of 30% and that's that we don't worry about it And then next thing I kept creeping up and creeping up to the point where were there The message was the meme was oh he's going to ruin the Republican Party There is no chance of him beating Hillary and not only that but its gonna destroy the Republican Party because he couldn't possibly be now he's ahead in the polls

1:10:11 So what's happened is that the meme makers who didn't want this guy to run in the first place, pushed aside for the monetary interests. Yes of course! So what we wanna do because whose got most money right now? Hillary seems like she has tons of money yeah so let's push Trump into front into the front so she's gonna start spending that money immediately and all those PACs which are freaky those people don't know what they're doing there going to start throwing crummy ads onto the networks as fast as they can because they gotta do, they got to start now. Because Trump's cribbed all of a sudden he is ahead of her and this is just going to be hilarious to watch as they try it at...because for one thing their real problem if you're having a meeting having executive meeting is how do we squeeze more money from Trump? Because he's a tightwad! Yeah this guy has no good

1:11:02 You know, so we were stuck with him. We would have gone with the other anybody else because we could get them to spend money but Jeb Bush would have been perfect look at the money he squandered but we can't do that yeah but what Trump has understood the network effect which we of course on this program understand very well where it's not just one way it's not good enough to just send emails from MailChimp saying chip in for Hillary Trump must die I

1:11:41 Trump will just have, I think the way he will play it. He'll just have tons of people like our own producers creating great ads really funny that will cost almost nothing and they won't have to be broadcast on TV! Trump just retweets them losing proposition Well, this is what I'm saying. There are meetings going on right now. Yes! That's why they push Trump ahead because they know at least it's not gonna be a cakewalk for Hillary so she's gonna have to start spending big but meanwhile the big problem is what are we gonna do about Trump? We can't get enough...we can't squeeze him Hold on. I call to order a meeting of The Curry-Dvorak Consultant Group Open the floor now to suggestions and how can we...how can the media stop Trump or squeeze money out of him preferably

1:12:29 Well, preferably you can't stop him so we can give up on that. These guys are lunatics who think they can unless somebody does something evil but the goal is to squeeze money out of them somehow now he has talked about You know, accepting money finally. He's got his billionaire friends Shelly Adelson will drop him a hundred million. And that announcement is extremely important as you know I see time and time again I see people on the TVs saying But what happened? How come all these Republicans flipped all of a sudden?" Well, there's the magical $100 million dollars which is not for Trump. That's really for Congress and for the Senate because now that money is going to start coming in uh...to get the House and the Senate in order and majorities there And anyone who was up for re-election this year including John McCain is very silent all of a sudden! Oh well yeah but I guess I'll support him you know then I can't really go against them because

1:13:26 If Trump becomes president, everybody knows that they will be the first to get cut off from everything. So they're all pussies and this moment which is barely discussed if at all is really... I mean it's passing us by as we speak but notice the people who are all against Donald Trump and now are quiet or have said yeah you know I support our party and that's because they're up for re-election including John McCain one of the most vocal opponents who was personally uh, attacked by Trump that you know. Trump said I like people who don't get caught which has turned into he makes jokes about veterans! You know? Yeah well they like to twist the memes but they're gonna stop doing that as we get closer to the election But those people need to be voted out They're pussies

1:14:21 Yeah, well it should be. But we're going to start seeing a slowly kind of pivot... let's use the Silicon Valley word. The media is going to pivot away from the attacks because they want the money! Oh well there you go that's what I do here with here's how i start focusing the stories So they may even just mention the money. They'll say, well Donald Trump... They're going to start mentioning the money for sure then? Yes! In fact let me interrupt. They're gonna probably do that Trump is probably risking a lot by not spending the money I think but i think they will pull it right back to the houses To the House and to the Senate because that's still money those people need to spend money The money too everybody needs money But their gonna have to somehow

1:15:15 I think one thing you can do is imply that he's an amateur because he hasn't got enough money. And how about this? How about this, they may even go all out because I've always held...and at this is the first election where it may not be true. I've always held true that the person with the most money becomes president. Barack Obama was in...the first round was a billion, second round was two billion spent And it's of course not all just in advertising, but a lot of it is. A majority if you look at the budget. So, I think that they will...you'll probably see the following. Well Donald Trump has only spent $60 million versus Hillary Clinton's blah-blah-blah. It took two billion for Barack Obama to win! They're gonna start doing stuff like this? Here is another way to go you can try this because if you can get Hillary really spending because she got tons of money they are going to spend it all although they are gonna pocket a lot

1:16:08 Look at Hillary. But she knows how to do that, so what they're going to do is they're going to... you're gonna see stories like this it's gonna be a parallel story where Hillary is moving ahead in the polls. That's why you want to push Trump up there now You pushed Trump up now, so you got him okay? He's out spending him and moving up in the polls Yes out spending him and moving up in the polls All right that will shake trump make it shake some money out of them Okay everybody all in favor say aye Aye! All nays The ayes have it congratulations

1:18:41 because the typeface was too small. Yes, yes it was shrunk down and then there's still the problem with people who will put the show number on the art which means that this can't even be used as evergreen sometime in the future it's a once you just swung for the fences and struck out don't do that. Because we do occasionally like a couple weeks ago they had three pieces came in one of them was okay wasn't great but Often we go back and some it we've spent as long as a half an hour going back into the archives to find something that would be appropriate for a specific show. So just so you know, let's thank a few people including Sir Andrew Largeman

9/11 Saudi Arabia Bill, Sovereign Immunity Concerns

The U.S. Senate passed a bill allowing families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia, despite threats from the kingdom to sell off $750 billion in U.S. assets. White House spokesperson Josh Earnest expressed concern that the legislation would undermine international laws regarding sovereign immunity. The administration fears this could open the United States to similar lawsuits in foreign courts for its own military actions.

1:24:28 Shut up, slave. And of course we always like to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers at the beginning of the show just the way it is in Hollywood because these credits are real just like The Peerage is real. Okie doke as real as it gets. Yeah let me see a couple those little side light clips here Let me see what I had. Oh yeah, here's this is interesting uh this is the 28th this was a short bit this was about the 28 pages and they're saying it was going to pass some law that required or something and then Josh Earnest comes out and says something which said which kind of doesn't quite explain it

1:25:10 Until you think about it, then you realize oh this isn't good. 28 pages. The Senate's passed a bill that would let the families of September 11th victims sue Saudi Arabia for any role it played in the attacks This comes as the Obama administration faces renewed pressure to release twenty-eight classified pages Of the 911 report which are said to contain details on the Saudi role. Saudi Arabia has threatened to sell off up to $750 billion in Treasury securities and other U.S. assets if the measure passes? White House spokesperson Josh Earnest opposed the bill. This legislation would change longstanding international law regarding sovereign immunity, and the president of the United States continues to harbor serious concerns that this legislation would make the United States vulnerable

1:26:04 And other court systems around the world. Yes like the International Criminal Court Well, not only that but what it says to me and this is why they don't want to release a 28 pages despite the Saudis not wanting this if we and That's I know what the Senate staking because if we can start suing the Saudi Arabians for 9-11 that's 3,000 people that could sue yeah over this. We have killed probably a hundred thousand in Iraq? Yes That could sue us Yeah, but they're brown that's lesser status They can still sue? Well the dead ones can't Well, they have families. Okay. Yeah, but he was very clear... Buried with suits! He probably should be buried with suits but we could be and now this whole thing is a disaster. No, I mean he was very clear in all kinds of other venues around the world yes the International Criminal Court nobody there wants to go to jail right? Right. I get it yeah and we'll see what the big bad Saudis do

Zika Virus Response, Larvicide Spraying Controversy

New York City has begun aerial spraying of larvicide to combat mosquitoes linked to the Zika virus. However, some researchers suggest that the larvicide itself, rather than the virus, may be responsible for the spike in microcephaly cases seen in Brazil. The discussion highlights the irony of citizens "begging" the government to spray chemicals on them and their children in the name of safety.

zika virus· larvicide· microcephaly· monsanto· new york city

1:27:03 Another bill that was in the House, which I do not think passed was H.R 8907 which is Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2015 very short bill really the entire purpose is to allow to reduce regulation on pesticide and larvicide use Which as far as I can tell, really it's only two things. You won't have to request an individual license each time you want a spray and i think there is some documentation that you won't have to do But of course this was tried, actually the Democrats blocked this as Republicans were trying to push this through using Zika as the obvious... Oh we have Zika! We need to loosen restrictions on pesticide and larvicide spraying in big farming.

1:27:56 Agro business. I do have my Zika clip well, I've got my clip first here's New York City Happy much like it did during the West Nile virus scare a few years ago The Department of Health will begin an aerial spraying operation Marsh and non-residential area at two dozen sites on Staten Island the Bronx and Brooklyn including Marine Park Weather permitting, it will be a three-day operation between 6am and 7pm. Mosquito populations are expected to rise as heat and dam weather conditions escalate. Officials stress they will be using environmentally friendly larvicide to kill the infant mosquito eggs. Larvicide again? Yeah, larvacides. Small heads are coming. Explain!

1:28:43 Explain. Well, everyone believes that the larvicide down in Brazil when they were using was really the problem with creating this microencephaly Is the actual larva side itself which is to kill the larvae? Yeah. Small heads of... Wait wait wait! Okay hold on a second we gotta do this right We have here the great Dr. Dvorak Why can't I get this now The great Dr. Dvorak who is going to look into the future and tell us what will happen with this initiative from New York City, go ahead Dr. Dvorak There will be small heads cropping up in New York and eventually discover that the larvicide is the problem not the mosquitoes And by the way when you're doing all these mosquito spraying then mosquito doesn't exist in the New York area

1:29:43 I know. Or otherwise there'd be dengue! They're just spraying the citizens like bugs, like bugs you're just a bug people. To kill the infant mosquito eggs residents of Marine Park are concerned and relieved that the city is taking action. I just want my kids to be safe Think of the children You know, the mosquitoes they harbor a lot of diseases. So I think spraying is a good idea. I'm definitely concerned about the virus but i'm happy that the city's taking the precautionary measures to make sure that we're safe as a community There are a lot of mosquitoes around here Of course because we have the salt marsh right over here But it's all...I'm troubled by the fact that they're spraying. We're glad- I love how they cut that guy off! I'm told by the fact of spraying

1:30:24 by the fact that they're spraying. We're glad that they're spraying because she's seven months pregnant and we don't want any problems." Health officials say Zika is not considered dangerous for most people, however Zika does cause birth defects. that they could have problems with developmental delay, not hitting their milestones and cognitive problems later in life. No, that's just a schooling system that causes this Connecticut teenager was shocked to learn she is contracting the disease after becoming pregnant while visiting her fiancee in Honduras. Pay attention to this girl you'll see here come back soon with a baby with a small

1:31:00 head. My mom had to get the larvicide sprayed in time and she was like your blood work got back and you were positive for Zika. In parts of New Jersey they're attacking the mosquito. I love the vernacular there By tested positive for Zika. We're positive for Zika In parts of New Jersey, they are attacking the mosquito problem a different way Eat babies eat! Some communities are stocking waterways with a type of fish that eats the eggs of mosquitoes It's a very clean way to control the mosquito population because the fish eat the larvae of the mosquito They eat them before they become mosquitoes There you go Well New Jersey is at least smart They try and do something different

1:31:46 Yeah, well that's actually a smart idea. That's the way to go not with the larva side and which larva side is this? Do we know which one made it I forgot it still when I could look it up It's been brought up by it done that I just want to know who makes it That's all wanna make sure there's a Monsanto product Why does that not surprise me somehow? All one in the same but here's my first of all I want to play as an advance on a plane ISO in advance So you could have it in your mind so when you see it in context, I would say when doing an interview... this is CBS again and CBS of course is the most compromised of the networks.

CHAPTER 25 / 44 Discussion

Zika Funding Debate, Media Leading the Witness

CBS News is criticized for its biased reporting on Zika funding, specifically for "leading the witness" during interviews to justify a $1.9 billion emergency spending request. Senator Marco Rubio and Florida Governor Rick Scott are pushing for immediate federal funds to train pest controllers and increase mosquito inspections. The segment argues the media is creating a "pressure cooker" environment to force congressional spending.

zika· cbs news· funding· congress· marco rubio

1:32:30 And they do what they're told and they are pushing for this money. They got to get from Congress, these guys so they can spread some corrupt money around the world. So they're all in on how bad it is that the government's being cheap and not coughing up $2 billion dollars for whatever... 1.9. It's not the government, its the pledged money from other governments. Right we talk about it but here is the leading witness clip ISO, you'll hear it in the report Is that ten times what you normally get? It's about ten times what we normally get. Okay, 10 times what you normally gets is about 10 times what we normally get Yeah to play it one more time so I can understand the dynamics of it where the guy The reporter says is this 10 times what he normally gets? Leading the witness! Yes Wes Was that 10 times what you normally get? Its about 10 times what we normally get Okay Im gonna... Alright To me I would listen and go woah this is ridiculous Let the guy talk What are you telling him what to say

1:33:25 But okay, this is the Zika CBS report about 10 times what you normally get. It's a race against time to kill mosquitoes that carry Zika virus linked to birth defects today The Senate approved just over 1 billion dollars for the battle but that's only about half Remember we used to use the word linked to it'd be link to Al Qaeda? Remember now they're using this for Zika. Linked to link to birth defects. It's the link to thing, it's back. Yeah, link to. Link to yeah we don't use that anymore but just say it's ISIS We don't say linked to Al-Qaeda Notice that's just gone. There are no more links to Al-Qaeda. The Senate approved just over $1 billion for the battle, but that is only about half of what the President has asked for. The House majority wants even less... 622 million. All Zika cases in the U.S so far have been in people who traveled from Latin America But health officials here expect mosquito borne infections will occur in the US soon David Begnaud is in Florida

1:34:29 There are over 100 cases of Zika in Florida, more than any other state in the U.S., and officials say more funding is the key to stopping the spread. Florida Governor Rick Scott... This is an urgent need we need to be doing this now We need to come to a conclusion now. We need prepare before we have the crisis Republican Senator Marco Rubio represents Florida and agrees If this becomes a serious outbreak it's not going to cost 1.9 billion It could cost 4 billion or 5 billion It is money the state needs, for example, for mosquito inspectors. Florida does not have enough of them to monitor neighborhoods so the state is now paying to train private pest controllers in emergency Zika detection. Michael Doyle is director of Mosquito Control in the Florida Keys. The key is going house-to-house spraying for the mosquitoes under the bushes

1:35:19 in the under your porch. All the calls we're getting are throughout the county and then there's the demand for spraying. Anton oversees mosquito control in Broward County, how many calls a day are you getting from people who'd like for you to go spray in their neighborhood? On average on about 4-500. Of course please government spray me please spray my kids government please spray. A day Is that ten times what you normally get? It's about 10 times of what we normally get. But it is for expectant mothers here that the fear looms largest, is it a boy or girl? A girl. Emergency room nurse Laura Pratt is expecting her first child next week There are so many risks to worry about and this is just something else but I could be doing my normal thing and potentially harm my child

1:36:07 Now, let's agree that the virus exists and... By the way. Yeah we should but by the way this report went on for another five minutes. Really? Yeah with the conclusion that we need more money but anyway yes this virus does exist it is not bull crap But the important thing here is that these are studies that show that maybe the larvicide that is causing the microcephaly and this is just not being brought up anywhere No, it's been brought up but it's out of the really doesn't it doesn't add to the meme. We need 1.9 billion Yeah pay up suckers we promised that money to other people they're getting antsy they got payroll to make yeah come on Silicon Valley fund We do what we say here's the Zeke of and I think this is the finale as it on CBS from there's a little more from that

1:36:57 that piece. Say what? That was another leading the witness. Yeah, oh yeah it's a whole thing is filled with that But this is because they did a pre-interview and the journalist, the interviewer's not actually listening to the guy. He just waiting for the answers that he expects to his questions as per the pre-interview which he probably didn't even do. You'll see this on talk shows all... Those guys are too big to do pre interviews no way! You'll see this on talk shows all the time but all the time it was like so yeah you know we had an interesting story about something happened last Thursday at The Drive In didn't you?

1:37:55 Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah that was really interesting. I did have that. You know it is already mosquito season in the south and you have to ask yourself as public health officials are asking do we really need to wait for the very first mosquito right here in United States to get infected with Zika and spread it locally? before springing into action announcing a full court press that is so desperately needed. Dr John LaPook following Zika for us every day, John thank you very much." Thank you very much for following it for us everyday this is really important thank you so much thank you thank you thank you. John LaPoop. Oh this just in apparently wreckage has been found from the Egypt Air 804 Okay well that's a start you'll have the whole thing on Sunday I will on Sunday. I have uh...I have a clip that was just so bizarre

CHAPTER 26 / 44 Discussion

Whoopi Goldberg, Hillary Clinton Email Defense

Whoopi Goldberg defended Hillary Clinton on "The View," arguing that if her private email server was a security risk, government officials should have noticed it years ago. The discussion references "Guccifer," the hacker who originally exposed the private accounts of political figures. Goldberg's defense is mocked for its lack of understanding regarding how classified information is handled by the State Department.

whoopi goldberg· the view· hillary clinton· emails· guccifer

1:38:42 that I think it would be just nice to switch it up a little bit. This is Whoopi Goldberg, you know that's usually good for a laugh? Oh yeah this is your beat! This is my beat indeed and she was going on about the Hillary Clinton emails which she wigged out a bit but she did some funny stuff which was in my mind ISO worthy...I'll have to listen to her well she IS ISO worthy...let's listen to it uh but her contention is that everyone should shut up about Hillary's emails because they never spoke about it before. They never discussed it, they were receiving emails from her they could have seen there was from a non-government email address and if they didn't speak of then there was no big deal than why are people bitching about it now? And she should just say the same thing about Bill Cosby then. I will point out than in 2013 Guccifer

1:39:37 They remember Guccifer, which we all like the name because we've been calling Hillary Clinton Lucifer for years. Guccifer hacked into several email accounts... George Bush, Poppy Bush's drawings, his paintings and also 20 000 emails from reported to be from Hillary Clinton which I believe are the ones that the Kremlin is talking about when they suggest they may or their suggestion on the internet that the Kremlin may release those. That's probably more factual Anyway, so here's whoopee. So far I say about the emails is what I asked her how is it if these were so? That nobody who got those email said hey Hill

1:40:30 Maybe you shouldn't be sending this across this nobody said Jack until she said she was running I find that amazing and the other thing Nine hours 12 hours with her saying what happened over in big what happened if I got it? I do this sometimes on the show, but now that you'd never do it on TV. It's not a good look when you It's now not good They asked you there was nothing else they could ask. They the last thing they could have said was how long did it take you to give birth? That was a lad that was the only question they didn't ask

1:41:11 that off-screen. That's right, and so they got the answers because you get the answers you don't want or you think there's more isn't a good enough reason to put the country because this is after all about us this really is about our country it's not about who wins are losing its supposed to be about what we want. And that same woman who was in the Benghazi hearings who stood like it's so strong is the same one that's going to be debating this guy in these debates where he knows nothing Americans are going to see the truth very shortly. For the emails though, remember she decided what emails to turn over She made deletions on that server that we didn't know about Why didn't people who got the e-mails... because I have to assume they were more than just her daughter

1:41:54 I'm assuming she sent them to other people in government. Someone could have said, hey! My goodness! He didn't go to the lengths of setting up a private server in his home. Somebody should have said then... But nobody did and that's what makes me and I know it doesn't matter what I think but I am untrustworthy of people who wait And say, oh no now they're classified. Now they're classified but everybody's seen them already! See that's my argument against her though because a lot of that information is born classified and what that means is she as Secretary of State is supposed to know based on the content not the indication. Can I just ask you a question? Have you ever been Secretary of State? I have not but she has and I expect her to know her job. And so...and I'm going assume that she did know her job

1:42:44 And other people and other people because she was there an awful long time to be Screwing up that badly as if we listen to that. I mean she was there several years somebody should have noticed that My god I think she should have been that person to notice that. But they weren't classified and they weren't classified until... At the end of the day, they weren't classified until the government just classified them We'll be right back with more Hot Topics. Yeah, alright. Oh brother! I know she's horrible but you know? That's the legit noise that she's making which of course i was able to turn into a nice isofest How long did it take you to give birth?! Get out of my vagina!

Max Verstappen Formula One Victory, Dutch Pride

Rookie driver Max Verstappen made history by winning his debut race for Red Bull Racing at the Spanish Grand Prix, becoming the youngest winner in Formula One history. The victory has sparked a wave of national pride in the Netherlands, momentarily distracting the public from economic and EU-related concerns. Max is the son of former F1 driver Jos Verstappen.

Google I/O Keynote, Google Home Spyware

At the Google I/O keynote, the company unveiled "Google Home," a voice-activated assistant designed to compete with Amazon Echo. The device is criticized as a potential spy mechanism that integrates with Nest thermostats and other home automation tools. Additionally, Google's "Firebrand" framework is highlighted for its ability to track user interactions within apps with extreme granularity.

google i/o· google home· nest· privacy· firebrand

1:45:07 I just thought it was a kick because this should be happening and well we can do some tech news. Oh, hold on a second let's uh... Let me get to it. Uh..I actually set it up this time so I'd be able to be able to find it and did I find it? Yes! yes I did! I found it! Well, it looks like Google just rolled out a clone of your favorite device. You know I watched based on your tweet about Google IO keynote? I watched! Yeah Amazon... Amazon... Google Home yeah

1:45:52 Yeah. Well, pathetic It's gonna be hooked up to everything that you know it's okay Google you say okay Google and by the way... Ah! No ah ah hold on hold on I saw something very subtle change in that if you watch that video shoot i should have clipped it That little promo video with a stupid family who only talked of the google thing? yeah They changed at beginning its OK Google there is twice Ok Google then it's Hey Google Yeah hey googles part of it yeah thats new So I think it's the word Google that is triggering. It's hey and okay or a well, the fact is Google where they're kind of taking it from Hey Siri

1:46:32 You see this all see the subtlety there. I forget his phrase hey Siri yeah, they're making it so it's compatible Yeah exactly anyway It's again then they show turning on and off lights and turning as soon as you leave the house that turns off your nest controller And does all stuff This is just hacker some hackers have got to be out there Just just just oh there must be in a state of ecstasy Because you could use as a connection to the whole house, which I still think is going to happen. People are going to and when you see all analysis nobody mentions this stuff somebody's gonna get ahold of the interface and they're gonna so soon she leaves their house the nest thermostat goes to max goes to 200 degrees all your ovens turned on or coffee pots turn everything is turned on all the lights in the nest

1:47:23 And you come back and your power bill's way up, the house is boiling hot if it doesn't catch on fire. Uh, hilarious. You're really taking this to an extreme. That's just going to happen. But no, but this is not just the, this is not just happening with Google home. This is that industrial society and its future we're now moving into the future phase. We have your cars are hackable stop it pulled off on you know turn the deploy the airbag turned the windshield wipers on turned the radio all the way up start honking the horn. Yeah. This is this Google home. I mean don't happen to Amazon echo too The thing that I found more disturbing from the from the Google keynote was firebrand Did you do you watch all the way to the end to watch the fire brand stuff? I miss fire, but I got sick of it. This is firebrand is this framework which some specifically made for apps not just Android but also iOS and It really truly is a spy mechanism inside

1:48:21 any app so they know exactly where you're pressing. I guess in some cases how hard you're pressing, where you came from, where are going to and just all of these little tracking tricks which is stored on Google Cloud and you know what happens with that. You get the agreements like hey if you use this for free it's already available now put it into your apps but we get the aggregate data on the back end or maybe not even aggregate data who knows? And there was no protest It was just creepy. There's no protest about any of this stuff And then there is, and then there is other mind boggling... Here where Google is truly doing something evil in my opinion This ummm it wasn't another firebrand stuff it was another modular

1:49:12 some kind of development kit that you put in and In an app if you want to make a reservation Let's say Bill click this link to make a reservation through open table It can then talk to the open table server and bring in only that portion of the code of the app So you're really running an app within an app, and you don't have to install apps all the time But what they've recreated is a web browser You know, but instead of it being the free and open web now everything is jammed into an app. So instead of going from webpage to webpage you go from app to app to app sucking it inside the app seems like a very bad idea long term It seems like its just gonna break all kinds of stuff Why do we need to recreate the web browser? That's all they've really done

1:50:02 It's all just crap the way I see it. I'm not using any of this stuff. Yeah, I did like that They had multiple women present At the I.O conference yeah, they had to one they all kind of won now that no I thought they were all kind Of hot even even the one with a dorky dress The well I thought the one with that was wearing her boyfriend's shirt Yeah, oh they came out first yeah with that belt with this front and open is hanging in the back like some slob Then she had this sex the sexy leather wide leather belt Hanging low yeah That was sexy well I can see all those developers like huh

CHAPTER 29 / 44 Discussion

Driverless Trucks, Teamsters Opposition, UBI

The push for driverless trucks is expected to face significant opposition from the Teamsters union and state-level regulatory hurdles. The transition toward automation is linked to the rising discussion of Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a solution for human workers displaced by technology. The "obsession" with roboticizing service jobs, such as using iPads in restaurants, is criticized for destroying entry-level employment.

driverless cars· teamsters· universal basic income· automation· google

1:50:42 Yeah, why do we have more girls on it before? Yeah. Well took you so long girls... Girls But yeah none of this will end well None of its going to end well with all this technology the less You know use all you want but don't be dependent upon it and you'll be really really sorely disappointed I've been writing about another thing which, maybe done four or five articles on the driverless car. And i'm a big fan of the drivers is driverless car but everybody thinks I hate it because my information that what I've been talking about is negative about why the driverless cars not going to do well right away because... No but you're a proponent! You're saying your proponent we have a bet

1:51:31 Yeah, I'm a big proponent of driverless car. But I don't think it's going to go as well as they'd hoped because for one thing the first thing they want to do is driverless trucks and if there's any group of people that would get a little irked by this it's the Teamsters and these guys are tough cookies! And they don't want a bunch of driverless trucks on the road and I've also said you're not gonna get every state to agree on allowing driverless cars and all you need is just a vertical line of states Right down the gut, right up in the middle. The South Dakota and North Dakota and Nebraska just right down to probably to Texas but you don't even need Texas. You could leave Texas out because no one's going to drive through Texas anyway. And that takes care of the coast-to-coast... Oh! The coast-to-coast. You're gonna have driverless trucks going coast-to-coast? You can't go coast-to-coast if you have this get out and stop the damage. But John let me just stop you right here. Let me just stop you right here

1:52:27 Because this conversation about things like this and I'll equate it pretty much to a disappointment from the Google IO keynote where nowhere did anyone promise me that my refrigerator would order milk when it was out of milk. I've been waiting for that for 25 years, that has been the promise so it seems like such an easy one but we have been psychologically indoctrinated to believe that this is all a good thing. Oh, I'm so hot and horny for the driverless car or for the driverless truck! Why do we want to put human beings out of business? And this is why we hear the universal basic income UBI you're going to hear more and more of this as we start to take away jobs from human beings who are actually pretty good at it my biggest pet peeve is these damn ass iPads in restaurants where you no longer have a server

1:53:22 In Texas, I believe they make $2.04 an hour and the rest they make on tips. And they're hustling! And it's a part of the vibe and it's nice...I don't want all this technology. It's just horny horn dog thing like oh so cool but ultimately Those of you listening when your kids can't get part-time jobs Because it's all been roboticized or automated then what hey kid congratulations. You're 18 Here's your universal basic income have a nice life Why why are we so obsessed with making all this happen? Why does no one stop well, you're talking to the wrong guy Because I'm not know but you can help with some insight as to why you think What is this obsession? I think it's brainwashing but

1:54:11 Or just fascination. People like shiny objects and this is the gizmos of the day, oh look! That's why some people buy you know this Apple Watch I can't like either one of us would never in a million years buy something stupid like that. Never that would be so incredibly dumb It's unbelievable But back to my point which was that This isn't going to happen as fast as everybody liked it because what got me triggered was they said Oh its gonna by 2020 we're gonna have these driverless cars all over the place and maybe there will be a couple but thats not going to be the case with these driverless trucks that they're gonna go coast to coast or whatever and here's my clip. This is what goes on in most normal societies I believe even though we always make fun of the French because

1:54:52 Because they don't put up with anything. Oh, yes I have a clip of this too and here they are Paris strikes in France as many as 220 thousand people took to the streets across the country to protest labor reforms backed by President Francois Hollande The measures would cut overtime pay for truck drivers and make it easier for companies to fire people on Tuesday truck drivers blockaded roads police fired tear gas and water cannons And 87 people were arrested or let play joined the protests in Paris Yeah, they don't mess around there in France. Exactly right! Hell yeah! Here we are... More clashes, if we're just talking about Euroland. Greece-Idomeni where the border has been cut off We've been tracking this for a couple months now There have been more violent clashes overnight between police and migrants in the 10th city that has been created on Greece's northern border with the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia The incidents began earlier on Wednesday evening when hundreds of migrants ran towards a police block pushing a train wagon to break through to the other side

European Labor Protests, Migrant Crisis Unrest

Massive labor protests have erupted in France against reforms that would cut overtime pay for truck drivers and make firing employees easier. Meanwhile, in Greece, violent clashes occurred at the Idomeni migrant camp as hundreds attempted to break through the Macedonian border. The "pressure cooker" environment in these regions reflects growing instability within the European Union.

1:55:55 The camp at Edemeni is housing around 11,000 people who want to reach the more prosperous EU regions. But since Macedonia closed its borders a pressure cooker environment has triggered regular unrest. Of course we're kind of moving away from tech news so I'll bring it back with... The Facebook meeting that was held up at Facebook's. At Facebook headquarters, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is meeting as many as 15 leading conservatives today including former Republican Senator Jim DeMintt Barry Bennett a senior Trump advisor and commentator Glenn Beck I just want to listen

CHAPTER 31 / 44 Discussion

Facebook Conservative Bias Meeting, Podcast Monetization

Mark Zuckerberg met with conservative leaders, including Glenn Beck and Jim DeMint, to address allegations that Facebook's trending section suppressed conservative news. Separately, Apple reportedly held meetings with major podcast networks to discuss the future of the medium. The hosts express skepticism about the ability of large networks to monetize independent podcasting effectively.

mark zuckerberg· facebook· glenn beck· apple· podcasts

1:56:30 Zuckerberg says he called the meeting to have a direct conversation about what Facebook stands for. It's a response to accusations made on the tech news site Gizmodo by anonymous former Facebook workers. They claim editors of the website's trending section routinely blocked conservative issues Zuckerberg wrote, we have found no evidence that this report is true. Then that kind of follows on the supposed meeting that happened at Apple We didn't talk about when it came out

1:57:14 that apparently they invited the big podcast networks to come and have a chat. Oh yeah, the podcasters! All the big podcasters were all invited but us I don't even know if this is true...I don't! I really don't. I mean i know those guys, they come to Austin we have dinner and we chat But there's nothing they can do with me or you or the show not really They were kind enough to give us our 8th anniversary artwork but even that was kind of fun experience Yeah, but if that's truly what well first of all the morons you cannot monetize the network Stop it. You're wasting money Wasting money is a theme

1:57:58 Are we done with tech tech news or are you gonna? Well, let's see what other technologists the way techno should be it's like what's going on I don't know there really isn't no. No. I think there's nothing else as you guys want to get the Google IO Conference which was done surprisingly in at the Shoreline amphitheater Yeah, that was made look more like a kind of a Nuremberg did they take over the old SGI offices is that was that Isn't that up there You know what this is in Mountain View which is where their headquarters right, but I was my question was it is the headquarter today? I don't know that they did that maybe then. I know they have a lot of office space and a lot of people working who knows what they're doing well you Know the opportunity is there yeah The opportunities there's a free and open web for as long as at last use it oh you can see This is not gonna last much longer

1:58:49 What the free and open way on the air yeah, well that's all part of HTTPS And already we're seeing error messages coming back from my SMTP server when talking to Google. We're gonna get shut out Eventually Enjoy what last folks well yes? My phone All righty tech news for you, but if not for the tech horny is just the tech news that really brings you the news about technology all right next all Right we have this thing go ahead. I thought this was a good dis against CBS so it's the propaganda headquarters or they

National Academy of Sciences, GMO Safety Report

A new report from the National Academy of Sciences claims that genetically modified foods (GMOs) are generally safe for humans and the environment. However, the report also admits that GMOs have not significantly increased crop yields as originally promised. Concerns remain regarding the environmental impact of "Frankenfood," such as genetically modified salmon escaping into the wild and outcompeting natural populations.

gmo· frankenfood· national academy of sciences· salmon· agriculture

1:59:33 government. And so I don't know what the point of this story was, it was a quickie? I think it was one of those messaging thing you put this in there and send this little thing here and here listen to this and where he did...and is probably coded in some way the ways presented that lets somebody know that you can do this or you can do that maybe has to do with investments I have no idea but I thought this was a very peculiar story show up only on CBS that I could tell I didn't see any other networks and this is for The Frankenfood Story In a much awaited report today, the National Academy of Sciences said that genetically modified food is generally safe for humans and the environment. Tinkering with genetics does not turn crops into frankenfood as some had claimed. At the same time, the report says that GMOs have not led to higher yields which was one of their selling points. Yeah... okay

2:00:29 Okay, so what is the point of this? They're doing that all wrong. I mean...I see there's a market for actually calling something frankenfood Well there- I thought there was- I was gonna do a book called Frankenfood You can do FrankenVape I don't think they're doing this all wrong because i think this is a coded message and they're probably doing it alright But we have no idea what with the point of it is It's a bullshit report let's face it Yeah for sure So, in other words if you genetically modify...this one though is my example. You genetically modify a salmon that grows twice as fast and just talking about fruit in that story but there's animals too involved. Genetically modified a salmon that grows twice as fast as normal and just doesn't eat as much but he eats a lot more and it gets into the wild

2:01:17 Yeah. So he's eating everything, all the other salmon breeds are gonna be eaten. Spuse is spawned? Exactly! Done. This is not good. No And they don't talk about how these seeds from these crazy plants that maybe live one generation or two, maybe they go to a three and then they die off. Or you get sued if you grow these things without having a license. You have to have a license to grow a seed and these things scatter their pollen all over the place. And then sue the neighboring farmers for growing this. Again John it's industrial society and its future. This is all well documented what is going to happen just what it And we will be around for enough of it to be very old and going, ah see I told you so. When I was a kid... I told you so! We were podcasters. We warned ya this.

International Day Against Homophobia, LGBT Rights

U.S. Ambassador to Australia John Berry delivered a message commemorating the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. The message echoed Hillary Clinton's stance that "gay rights are human rights." The timing of the proclamation is noted for its coincidence with ongoing debates over "bathroom bills" in states like North Carolina.

lgbt· john berry· hillary clinton· biphobia· transphobia

2:02:08 I have, we missed an important date which i did not see on the calendar. It just cropped up all of a sudden and the coincidence of this being proclaimed by presidential proclamation just around the North Carolina bathroom bill and other bathroom bills determining where you can drop a deuce now all of a sudden it was international anti-homophobe transphobia biphobia day yeah it's just a couple days ago what happened to queer phobia I don't know, biphobia maybe. I have no idea how they name this thing. Well again i think it's limiting! This is not including everybody... How about non-binary day? How about cisgendered?

2:02:50 Well anyway, I did not catch the president speaking about this too much but word got out and luckily we have the United States ambassador to Australia. His name is John Barry and he delivered the message to our friends down under Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it best when she said gay rights are human rights And human rights are universal There is no excuse for discrimination or harassment against the LGBT community anywhere. On this International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia I commend all efforts by LGBT persons and our straight allies to secure basic rights and freedoms for everyone. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are rights for all.

Berkeley Homeless Encampments, "Obamavilles"

A large homeless encampment, described as an "Obamaville," has formed under the Gilman Underpass in Berkeley, California. The camp consists of approximately 50 tents and is situated near a horse track and a highway exit. The growth of these "Hooverville-style" settlements in the San Francisco Bay Area is highlighted as a visible sign of economic distress.

berkeley· homeless· encampment· gilman underpass· poverty

2:03:55 At least we celebrate. We celebrated a little bit. So I'm good while you're on the topic of rights for everybody and how everything's hunky-dory. So underneath the Gilman, people who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, Berkeley might want to check it out. There's a bunch of these by the way these Hoovervilles or Obamavilles or whatever you want to call them advertising there's one underneath the Gilman Underpass that was there before then they cleared it out I want to get there and take some photos It is a huge Calais like encampment of homeless

2:04:32 And they're underneath the overpass and they're on both sides, and they're packed. They're packed... Where is this again? In Berkeley wall to wall, and then their overflow goes off to the other corners of... Stop! I need to ask you a few questions. So what area is the main camp where it's near bus station? Is it...? Well there could be main camps elsewhere no there's no public transportation around under its near the horse track Okay, and are they using tents cardboard boxes tense? Yes, ten. How many do you think there are hundreds? No, let's see one two three four five six seven eight but no no it was about 50 51 That's quite a lot now okay Yeah And they're just there and you know this and they rotate through in the corner because if you get off on the Gilman exit on highway 80 after You know bumping into a bunch of potholes

Michael Moore Documentary, Brexit the Movie

Michael Moore's new documentary, "Where to Invade Next," explores social policies in Europe, such as Finland's education system and Norway's prisons. While the film is criticized for being slanted, it highlights how many "European" ideas were originally American concepts abandoned for profit. Similarly, "Brexit: The Movie" is discussed as a key piece of propaganda for the "Leave" campaign in the UK.

michael moore· where to invade next· brexit· finland· norway

2:05:26 on this road, you get off into this pothole ridden exit and then you get to the end and there is a... if you want take a left turn which takes you right through the encampment. There's always one guy in the corner and it seems they rotate that one guy with the same sign You know need money or whatever it says Michael Moore released a new documentary which I guess, I heard about it but it came out pretty quick. It's called Where to Invade Next? Have you had the chance to look at this? No! I've never even heard of it. Yeah...it's on Netflix or maybe Amazon, maybe both. It was worth watching what he does is kind

2:06:05 It's I don't really like Michael Moore that much but it is a blowhard. I like what he did He had this premise if I'm invading all these other countries and I'm stealing all their good ideas which turned out to be pretty much all American ideas in the first place. That's what's interesting, so and it winds up in Finland and this was my favorite part and it really was quite touching when you see how the Finns deal with school of course no homework there's relatively few or probably half the amount of hours that children go to school and lunchtime is considered a class so it's an hour long and they have determine these menus and the chef's cooking it up on site. And it really teaches the children how to appreciate healthy food and to understand what it is, in this one sequence...and these kids are eating four course meals of really just beautifully prepared, you know, just really...and not like Finnish glop would I...you know more like a French cuisine. At a certain point then they show these kids pictures from

2:07:09 I guess one of Michael Moore's friends, her kids what they were eating at lunchtime and showed this slop. It was just absolutely... And those kids are like, what is that? Is that even food? They couldn't identify it now but of course it's entirely completely slanted you know talking about how great Norway is so great but neglects to mention Anders Breivik who killed 80 kids not all safe and fantastic the overall premise that a lot of these ideas were ideas that were in place, in the United States for decades if not longer. But in the past 20 years have been undone primarily because of profit. Profit on the schools, profit on the prison system just all profit-profit-profit and that's what I liked about the documentary. That was my takeaway is hey we had a lot of this but some...we just let the commercial interest take over

2:08:07 With the complete disregard which is what businesses do they don't really care. They just want to make money So I'd advise watching it It was it was pretty good along with Brexit the movie, which I don't think you've seen either otherwise You know I gotta see this damnit yeah, you really do Where did you find it again? Is on Netflix? Oh, it's online. It's on YouTube Yeah brexitthemovie.com also completely slanted because it's the leave campaign that put it together but also good information Well, they're doing everything they can to stop the you know the propagandizing against the leave campaign I posted something on Twitter. I can't remember what it was but there's another one of Britain This is quote may have talked about in the last show if Britain leaves a single Martin Britain may be forced to

2:08:50 out of the open skies regime and airfares and the cost of holidays will rise. And then when you read this article on BBC, because BBC is all for staying. It's sickening to watch these guys. But they go on and on, and they talk about the open skies and who's in it. And it turns out that you know Morocco and every crazy country in the world is in this process so they don't have to deal with being too complicated again in the land...to get landing rights in these countries but for some reason if Britain leaves

Psychiatry Under the Influence, SSRI Corruption

The book "Psychiatry Under the Influence" by Robert Whitaker is recommended for its investigation into the institutional corruption of the psychiatric industry. The text argues that the science behind psychiatric drugs is deeply flawed and influenced by pharmaceutical interests. The book features a foreword by Lawrence Lessig and is cited as essential reading for understanding the "brain science" industry.

Yeah, sure sure and end of airfares will rise people believe anything I believe anything And then a follow-up from the show where we talked about the dinner with the professor and his wife Of course she had said hey you know I like them bone marrow You're just a pussy for think it was too easy that you were a wimp pussy. I think she used the word pussy I think you've been a wimp.

2:10:07 And so the professor heard us talking about this, and of course I said well you know when i brought up climate change could the p numbers be manipulated there he said well that's not my field of expertise. But we also talked about SSRIs and he came back and he said the science behind psychiatric drugs is so bad you have no idea You need to read this book. No, it's a book... Well before you go on let me mention that we've talked when we were doing all the ads that we would play and the one for Shantix always cracked me up because in the disclaimers it said The Placebo did just as well almost worked just as well Yes but for a professor of psychology to say this I think is

2:10:59 is pretty harsh. And the title of the book, which will be in the show notes is Psychiatry Under The Influence Institutional Corruption Social Injury and Prescriptions for Reform and that is written by Robert Whitaker. I've started reading it's actually interestingly enough has a foreword by Lawrence Lessig of all people. Yeah, well... Which didn't make me feel like the book would be great to start with but... Well it's blurbs are kind of a thing people just do and they you know... But it's a good book! It is a recommended reading really its and it comes recommended from the official brain scientist from The No Agenda Show There ya go! I'm gonna show my support by donating to NO AGENDA Imagine all the people who could deal with that Oh yeah that'd be fab

Listener Feedback, Donation Roll Call

The hosts read a detailed note from producer Jay Nonomous and proceed with a lengthy roll call of donors from around the world, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the Czech Republic. They acknowledge the "value-for-value" model and thank the "Intelligence Network" for keeping the show ad-free. Birthday wishes are extended to several listeners and their family members.

Ah, good you found it perfect Because he does have a couple of requests for sound effects After being on some financially shaky ground at the start of this year I could go no longer without donating to the show I often felt guilty about not providing enough value for value especially since No Agenda is my primary source for media and the resulting shenanigans The insight and analysis you two provide has no equal. As far as producers complaining about your Trump coverage, they deserve the calm down followed by crazy scream jingle

2:12:41 Okay, so he was requesting calm down and the crazy scream. The American media has been pushing anti-Trump nonstop and that deserves deconstruction especially when he has thrown a wrench in the primary politics as usual.

Angela Merkel, One Euro Jobs Program

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has introduced a state program to hire 100,000 asylum seekers for "one euro jobs." Participants work 20 hours a week for one euro per hour while awaiting their documentation. Critics characterize the program as a form of state-sanctioned slave labor designed to manage the inactivity of thousands of migrants in refugee centers.

2:23:45 This was a nice donation brought to Tony by his wife Kate. So, Tony Marengo come on up to the podium here please Congratulations with Kate's donation for your knighthood and of course we wish you good luck with the procedure that is coming up in the amount of $1000 or more this brings you into the round table and I'm hereby very proud to pronounce Kate the Sir Tony Marengo! The Knight He Has Always been to Kate and for you my friend we have hookers and blow, red boys and chardonnay, espresso and hemp milk, sake and sushi, cuddling with Yogi and Jambo, Red Boy Chardonnays, sparkling cider escorts and of course mutton in mead. And this is great so after your out the hospital maybe have Kate do it NoahJennaNation.com slash rings and then we can get that to by the time your in recovery never know We certainly appreciate the support of the program

2:24:41 I was looking at Euroland a bit, just a couple things happening. We have... yes no clip of this but the so the Germans are starting to openly oppose mass immigration and Angela is having trouble in fact she there was somewhere she went somewhere she's not even delivering full speeches she's really trying to figure out what's going on but here's the cool thing Here's what Angela Merkel has put together. The idea is for Germany to hire up to 100,000 asylum seekers in a new state program for employment of immigrants and this is the cool thing about it they will receive and they have to work 20 hours no more no less twenty hours a week they'll receive one euro per hour

2:25:40 And this program is now known as the 1 euro jobs. What? How did I miss this slave labor, man? Well that's what the Germans apparently are good at! The program was forged as a means of dealing with the forced inactivity of tens of thousands of migrants living in refugee centers with nothing to do just awaiting documentation So I think we just skip the one and just say Euro jobs, because that's what everyone will have. Eventually it'll be a Euro job with your UBI is your universal basic income and you get in, you know, you'll get a buck an hour. Yeah. You've got to buck an hour to do something for 20 hours a week. And uh, here's your 20 bucks. Yeah. Then what you do is you spend it on having someone else's car drive you everywhere

Veneto Region, Northern League Russia Resolution

The regional council of Veneto in Italy has passed a resolution urging the national government to recognize Crimea as part of Russia and lift economic sanctions. The Northern League, a separatist party, led the vote, citing severe damage to the local economy's glass exports. While the resolution is non-binding, it signals growing European opposition to EU foreign policy regarding Moscow.

2:26:28 Unbelievable. Not unbelievable. She got herself into it, this is the dumbest thing Germans have just screwed this up. Merkel screwed the pooch! And there's chinks in the armor, in the Union. Italy is getting tired." A council in Italy's northeastern Veneto region is urging its national government to abandon EU international policy and recognize Crimea as being part of Russia. A resolution was carried calling for the change and subsequent lifting of economic sanctions against Moscow which the Council says are crippling it's economy Stefano Valde Gambari, who is from the separatist Northern League says his region has suffered severe damage from sanctions against Russia. Our goods he says have been embargoed with this vote we want to send a strong message to the Italian government and at the European Union to change the policy towards Russia

2:27:18 Opposition member Graziano Atalan criticized the vote, saying Veneto is a region and not a sovereign state. It cannot decide on foreign policy issues. This resolution will have no effect it's just propaganda for the Northern League." The Veneto region's economy relies heavily on the export of its glass production. Earlier this week, Ukraine's ambassador to Italy criticized the councillors calling on them to support efforts to achieve the return of Crimea to Ukrainian control. Okay... People getting tired of it! What is the Golden League? Oh isn't that a Ukrainian party?

2:27:58 Isn't that a new- you have the Golden Dawn and Golden League, and Golden Shower or something? That doesn't sound right. The Golden Showers... Book of Knowledge! What is the Golden League?

Manchester United Stadium, Fake Bomb Scare

A match at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium was canceled and 75,000 fans evacuated after a suspicious package was found in a restroom. The device was later determined to be a "dummy" bomb left behind by an independent contracting firm following a counter-terrorism training exercise. The incident is mocked as a massive failure in basic equipment accounting.

manchester united· old trafford· fake bomb· counter-terrorism· evacuation

2:31:36 I wasn't able to understand the question. Oh my god, but I hope that Google home will be better You're all you're on the ropes yo book of knowledge Wikipedia Northern League the northern league is a men's football league for semi-professional and amateur teams Yeah, that's some sorry we're just not gonna do that anymore That's really really bad This was probably the funniest clip Of course it only wound up, it only turned out to be funny after the authorities actually copped to it. A fake bomb caused a very real panic today in England just before Manchester United's Premier League soccer match police discovered a suspicious package and evacuated the 75 thousand seat stadium players from both teams were taken off the pitch and kept in locker rooms

2:32:31 bomb experts exploded the device and then they determined it was a dummy that had been left over accidentally from a counter-terrorism training exercise. Yes. I hate it when that happens. Nail it, let's nail this clip of the day! Thank you very much. Oh man... Actually I found out later after I got this clip that it was an independent contracting firm who had done The exercise and they're and they're the ones that left it don't take big has anyone heard of counting You got all our bombs. I don't know well, but did that happen recently? Yeah where someone left a fake bomb on the school bus or its slipped into the engine compartment of the school bus I didn't get that story yeah, yeah, I think we had that as well again more fake bombs out there than anything so the only is an inconvenience to 75 thousand people and I'll say definitely

Libya Arms Embargo, Operation Noble Partner

The United States is moving to arm the provisional government in Libya, potentially bypassing a UN arms embargo. Simultaneously, the U.S. has deployed M1A2 battle tanks to the country of Georgia for "Exercise Noble Partner." This military exercise near the Russian border is viewed as a direct provocation and an illustration of U.S. power projection in the region.

libya· georgia· noble partner· m1a2 tank· russia

2:33:36 Okay, so again no clips because John Kerry was just too boring to listen to. But now we are supplying the approved government because we signed some accord... We didn't but there was an accord signed another Geneva Accord and now we have some form of provisional government in Libya And we're arming them. And we're arming them. A huge topic of conversation Yes, we are arming them. So it's a... We don't know who quite to arm Well but even more interesting is there is a UN resolution against arming them and the United States is now saying hold on a second this is you know this is the official government and its only official because we just said they were official because we now recognize them

2:34:17 That supersedes your ban, your block on arms trades. And by the way we're backed up over here yo! We gotta unload some of this shizzle-on use. Sales sales sales It's spring cleaning we got to get this stuff out and I see nothing but brand new tanks roaming around when they show b-roll Humvees New uniforms good looking stuff yeah good looking stuff really But it's still B-roll, so it could be anything. Same time we have a largest exercise going on ever in the region of Georgia this is called... what is this thing called? Exercise Noble Partner! Yeah yeah that sounds legit

2:35:09 Recurring training event takes place in near Georgia, obviously the country which is borders on Russia. I think this is probably the closest we've come bar Ukraine although that's not official but probably the closest we've come to ever really doing an exercise and in recent memory were so close to Russia's border some of the Georgian areas even under dispute let me see... We have on May 4th US equipment arrived at the port of Poti And this is the first time the M1A2 main battle tank has been deployed to Georgia as an illustration of the US ability to project power around Russia's periphery. 500 Jordan, 150 UK and 650 U.S service members... Can you imagine what it costs a ship one of those tanks to Georgia? It probably cost more than that tanks worth! I read a story somewhere that who was it that created a tank but didn't fit in the transport plane was that us

North Carolina Bill, Minimum Wage Provision

The controversial North Carolina "bathroom bill" reportedly contains a hidden provision that blocks local mandates for a $15 minimum wage. Critics argue the bathroom issue was used as a distraction to pass corporate-friendly labor legislation. The segment notes that politicians are increasingly using social wedge issues to mask economic policy changes.

north carolina· bathroom bill· minimum wage· legislation· washington post

2:36:09 Well, that would have sounds like something we did. Yeah, but they have to chop it up to transport it They I have to take the front off or something to get into the transport plane Well nobody thought of that at the time no But this and what are we doing? What's a tank sting anyway come on well. It's pretty provocation its provocation Yes, total provocation my mean this is a world war one technology yes, but it looks good It makes people feel war yeah Oh, and just one other little thing that I'm following up on. This North Carolina bathroom law... this just came in before the show but i'll mention it now and study for Sunday's show apparently its not even really about bathrooms at all but in this bill there is a provision that blocks any mandate of $15 minimum wage What? Yes yes I know

2:37:12 I mean, if you want i can go through it quickly with you. I just haven't really done all the business myself or all the research so...I'd rather save it for Sunday. Okay, jeez! And I think this was a story that picked up in The Washington Post So yeah, I'll find out exactly what the provision is Alright, well I've got it that would make nothing but sense you know try and get that through yes Politicians yeah, it's horrible what difference does it make to them at this point the cheap bastards who they representing? They're not representing the public No. There's no way they're representing the public and of course half the public is all bought into this, you know it's going to be bad because there was a deal between me and the employee I can give him a buck if i want kind of bull crap It's just like nonsense And besides as I said on the show before that minimum wage should be $30 but Yes But I got a picture message from dude named Ben in Vietnam In Arkansas

2:38:17 And he sent me a picture of the Twin Peaks bathroom. So there's two bathrooms and one sign says stand up to pee, and the other one says sit down to pee. That would be... that seems like it seems like a workable solution. It just hey we have a standup pee bathroom in a sit-down pee bathroom Yeah there you go! That's a fantastic idea so I want to get your opinion on this situation that just occurred with Robin what's her name? House of Cards. The co-op... What happened? You mean, uh... Well she won a lawsuit that she did behind the scenes which means she'll probably never work again. Wait what's her name again? Robin Wright! Robin Wright sued for equal pay Oh I didn't hear about this. I want you to play it out. Play this story and then there are couple little tidbits you need to know but let's play this story Equal Pay For Actresses She took a page right out of her character Claire Underwood's book

CHAPTER 43 / 44 Discussion

Robin Wright, House of Cards Pay Dispute

Actress Robin Wright publicly negotiated a pay raise for her role in "House of Cards" by threatening to go public with pay discrepancies between her and co-star Kevin Spacey. While framed as an equal pay victory, the discussion notes that Spacey was an executive producer and that the industry is already strictly regulated by the SAG-AFTRA union. The move is seen as a PR stunt aligned with Hillary Clinton's campaign themes.

robin wright· kevin spacey· house of cards· equal pay· sag-aftra

2:39:10 Tuesday night, Wright told an audience at a Rockefeller Foundation event just how she negotiated a pay raise. I was looking at statistics and Claire Underwood's character was more popular than his for a period of time in the season so I capitalized on that moment And it was like you better pay me or I'm gonna go public. And they did! Actress Patricia Arquette raised the issue with pay inequity at last year's Oscars to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America.

2:39:47 Yeah, forget that. Jennifer Lawrence talked to Charlie Rose about making less in the film American Hustle. I feel uncomfortable asking for more money. I don't want to seem like a brat. I don't want to seem like all of these things that are only words that are used for women. Wright who has won a Golden Globe for her role in House of Cards says gender should not determine value It has to be unacceptable at this stage. A publicist for Kevin Spacey told us today, Kevin thinks it's amazing and well-deserved he is honored to be a part of the show that supports equal pay for women Anthony spokesperson for Netflix says they have no comment regarding right statements but of course she got what you wanted. She did Jerika thanks. Wow let me just say bullshit! That couple things oh my god

2:40:37 First of all, let's compare what the... Let's start with the pay so we get that out of the way. And it is for some reason not reported in this story Well there are a couple things not reported in this story but go on There are a lot of stuff not reported in this story I find this story to be... It's a lie! It's very simple to prove that it's a lie But I want you take me through your questions Okay A couple things One Kevin Spacey who now is so happy I thought it was a genius for putting that quote in since he's an executive producer and probably owns the show. Yeah, he owns the big piece sure So he could do whatever he wants He wants to give her more money you could have done that way before she supposedly sued The difference in price between her and Kevin... A couple of things The difference in price between her and Kevin Spacey was Kevin Spacey Was making $500,000 a show

2:41:29 She was making $435,000 a show. So she's making over four hundred thousand dollars a show not enough money Okay That's you know day's work now The value of an actor or an actress is not to it's not this is not an equal employment issue But that's where I need this way need to stop you but he just stopped you for one second every actor in the United States who works is a member by I think even by law, of the either Screen Actors Guild or AFTRA. The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and they've now merged together into SAG-AFTRA

2:42:17 There is a complete, absolute equal payment scheme that has been in place for years... ...for every actor. I don't even think the word actress is probably not even used and that's when you work at scale and it's completely fair! So anything you can make over that depends on completely, maybe Kevin Spacey's boning some other executive producer. He bones other guys in the show who knows what's going on but that has nothing to do with equal employment this is one of the best regulated industries there is for equal pay I agree. So it's the premise is generally speaking when you get these at this large, this larger money than the scale it's because you can attract a crowd. Yeah, I think Kevin, I think Spacey attracts more crowd than Robin Wright maybe not but that's subjective much like to me It's very much like sports

2:43:16 Some people bring people, a person comes and he's like a baseball player and he attracts the crowd to get more people. The amount of people that go watch this guy This one guy brings in more money than they pay him. They brings in millions of extra dollars, I mean it's the same thing you have an embed...in all these sports and sometimes you have this moment of inequality because somebody stupidly signed a long-term contract they shouldn't have and they had to get into renegotiations. This is very…this is not working in a factory doing the same job that's not secretarial work. No, this is actual unionized work. The same people who always fight for equal pay. Yeah and it's unionize that's a good another good point is unionized yeah so this is nonsense and sure maybe she'd sued for some I don't know what she's thinking but I'm telling you this is a good way to not get work

2:44:11 Possibly I mean James Garner sued his producers for one time getting screwed He got screwed out of a whole bunch of money and paying for popular show is rock well files or whatever it is Rockford's files. Yeah, he got screwed and he sued anyone And you never see never saw him again ever was that was in end of his career So I don't know. I thought the story which was nonsense and it was obviously just promoting Hillary Yeah I guarantee Robin Wright is a Hillary supporter. Oh, I'm sure she is! I will say that I really love how the Democrats are fighting amongst each other whether spurred on by Trump or not it's just beautiful Didn't take much Not at all and there is anger There's real anger by people who actually think that these primaries bar democracy

2:45:07 This is the low-hanging fruit of understanding that we're all slaves. It's the low hanging fruit! Speaking of which, I started watching that show... what was it called? The British show is brand new on Amazon about people have synths You have a synthetic person, a robot around your house? No. Yeah the first episode by itself was really good. Well that's unusual on Amazon Exactly what was British and it also is done in England so... It's probably some production over there I'll take this using it I'll take the final opportunity What's it called by the way Amazon's and I really don't know. Okay, never mind figured out series bug it in a second hold on hey you know who would know The book of knowledge would know ask what is the TV series about synths on Amazon Prime? Sorry This is that this is an Amazon device It should know what Amazon was on Amazon Prime

2:46:15 It's so pathetic. Maybe when it rains, it doesn't work as well or something? Is it just maybe starting to fail? Maybe you think this thing was just they had real people at the other end for a long time faking it could be answering on the maybe no one in India is standing by to answer my questions. Yeah I think a lot of this goes to India and then they type it in and then the synthetic voice says that thats why do it And interestingly I'm trying to connect to Google to conduct a search, but I can't even connect to Google. What is going on? Maybe...I can't connect anything." Oh maybe your internet's down there so you're not even talking to me! I don't know who i'm hearing but I'll just keep going.

I think that's what is going to happen and they turn them into... Okay, okay, I heard enough! Alright then i will play you my final clip this is President Obama at Rutgers once again not talking very inspirationally to the children to send them out in the world as they have now graduated from a prestigious school no no let's just talk more politics Think about the climate change issue every day there are officials in high office

2:48:12 with responsibilities who mock the overwhelming consensus of the world's scientists that human activities and the release of carbon dioxide and other substances are altering our... I love that, substances. What? What is substances? Carbon dioxide and what? What other substances? Soot! Maybe he meant soot John. Soot. Carbon dioxide another substances are altering our climate in profound and dangerous ways. A while back, you may have seen a United States senator trotted out a snowball during a floor speech in the middle of winter as proof that the world was not warming. I mean listen! Climate change is not something subject to political spin there is evidence there are facts we can see it happening right now if we don't act
