About this episode

The Associated Press declared Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee based on a survey of superdelegates just hours before the California primary. Internal campaign emails titled Secret Win version 2 suggest the announcement was a coordinated effort to suppress voter turnout for Bernie Sanders. This move coincides with a New York Times inquiry into whether the Sanders campaign is inherently sexist for delaying the first female presidency.

Secondary stories include the State Department claiming a 75-year timeline is required to process 1.5 million pages of Clinton aide emails under FOIA requests. In Poland, NATO launched Operation Anaconda 16, the largest military exercise since the Cold War, while Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland requested 100 million dollars to counter Russian propaganda. Domestically, the IRS was forced by a federal appeals court to release a list of 426 conservative groups targeted for extra scrutiny, and the NFL Twitter account was hacked to falsely report the death of Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Deshauna Barber, an active-duty Army logistics commander and IT analyst, secured the Miss USA 2016 title after a final round focused on military recruitment and gender roles. The broadcast also highlights the breaking of Moore's Law as doubling transistors becomes cost-prohibitive, leading to a tech industry shift toward power consumption over raw processing speed. Executive Producer Shana Alaka and the hosts also debunk Edward Snowden's claims regarding the 2013 grounding of Evo Morales' plane using tower audio.

California Primary Voting, Chinese Language Ballots

The broadcast opens with a discussion regarding the presence of Chinese language ballots and "I Voted" stickers in Northern Silicon Valley. Questions are raised about California's voter eligibility requirements and whether non-citizens or alien residents are permitted to participate in local primaries. The hosts contrast the simplicity of basic civics questions with the perceived complexity of modern American voting procedures.

00:00 Like, well you know it's a public poll. Adam Curry John C Devorah It's Thursday June 9th 2016 and time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 832 This is no agenda Counting the votes before they're cast. I am from the future and we're broadcasting live from the capital of The Drone Star State, Austin Tejas FEMA Region 6 in the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where i have my I Voted sticker...I'm John C DeVore Good boy You voted for Bernie? It's in Chinese

00:39 Really? Yeah, they had all these I voted stickers. In Chinese?! And i said oh no no give me that one and it was the chinese ones so if you're a chinese american or chinese resident or... No, you have to be a citizen! You can get a Chinese ballot Wow How do you become a citizen if you can't read the ballot? There is a test Well, the ballot was actually mostly for Chinese people. It was literally if you wanted to elect Dao Xiaoping and all the different Chinese leaders... Yeah but that's not my question. They were on the ballot. Right in order to vote in California, do you have to be an American citizen or just a California resident?

01:27 for a primary. I think you have to be an American citizen that's what i thought too so if you're an American citizen, you take the test the test is uh what color is the White House? You know who was our first president and who was the 16th this is all bullcrap maybe it's possible you just be an alien resident and you can vote that's possible I think that may be possible yeah but Don't know if they should be voting for the president, but okay. We are over about this funny You think I would notice a civics basic civil yes and no this yes? we don't know anything these days in this country like that's the way it is right now I've you know we have Outrageous amount of stuff to get through today which we probably won't get to all of it. Have you had four bundles of clips to me Yes And it bodes explaining one more time that John and I

Associated Press, Hillary Clinton Presumptive Nominee Announcement

The Associated Press declared Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee the night before the California primary based on a survey of superdelegates. An email blast from the Clinton campaign contained an image file titled "Secret Win version 2" dated June 4th, suggesting the announcement was coordinated in advance. This move is characterized as a "Ministry of Truth" tactic designed to influence voter turnout before polls opened.

associated press· hillary clinton· superdelegates· california primary· secret win

02:13 pretty much never speak to each other, rarely email in between shows. And I show up with my clips John shows up with his clips i have no idea what they're in what's in there except of course i can see some of the titles so...I know that you're doing another one of your coveted Miss USA reports which I'm very excited about yeah but should be! I think we need to discuss at least just briefly the fabulous Move by the Ministry of Truth in the United States of Gitmo Nation and in this case. I'm talking, of course about Associated Press announcing Hillary Clinton as as the presumptive nominee Pretty much based on just some glitched You know that was really And it's so Not it's not discussed what happened here

03:10 But holy crap, you know for people who weren't paying attention to it perhaps. A reporter from the Associated Press before the California primary... The night before. The night before elections voting whatever you want to call it had called up as many superdelegates and democratic superdelegates as he could find and said hey who are you voting for? And apparently because he didn't name any specific names He said, oh well it looks like there's enough superdelegates who are going to vote for Hillary. And this is at the convention when they'll do this so they just up and called her the presumptive nominee and then CNN jumped on it and everyone just jumped on it! It was an unbelievable moment in American politics and pretty much just glossed over because like whatever...and you received the emails right out of from the Hillary camp?

04:05 Yeah, of course. Right because I get them because someone signed me up as Mimi so i get Mimis emails from Hillary and when AP came out with this they sent...they do a lot of email blasts we can't they came out with an email that had an image in it and the image was like oh you know with her standing there in her Dr Evil clothes and you know the AP announcement that she had clinched the nomination however As is often the case with these email blasts, the images aren't actually included in the email but they're a reference link to a server and this image if you go and look at the URL The image name, the title, the actual file name has the date it has 6-4 so this was created on June 4th we presume. And it says Secret Win version 2

04:59 So you kind of got to think that since this image was apparently created before the announcement, they kind of knew. This was totally rigged now I'll say let's go over a cut. I have some clips about this and I have my favorite. I had my series of clenching clips and somebody is obviously clinching their butt cheeks but But let's play a couple of these things. Let's play first of all, and because I like the contrasts in this series of four clips... five! One two three four? Four clips to just kind of tell us what is happening here.

CHAPTER 03 / 45 Discussion

Media Coverage, Bernie Sanders Zombie Candidacy

Mainstream media outlets, including CBS and PBS, are criticized for using terms like "zombie candidacy" to describe Bernie Sanders' ongoing campaign. DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show to clarify that unpledged superdelegates are free to change their minds until the July convention. Despite this, major networks continue to report the delegate counts as finalized totals to marginalize the Sanders campaign.

bernie sanders· cbs news· rachel maddow· debbie wasserman schultz· superdelegates

05:39 Hillary Clinton's CBS one. Okay, Clinton claimed the Democratic nomination last night and she talked to us today from her hometown of Chappaqua New York There was a moment last night that you stopped To take it all in stretched your arms out wide I wonder what was going through your mind at that? I gotta get milk I wasn't really thinking, I was just feeling the moment. I was so overwhelmed by the energy and the... Yeah, that was pretty harsh. You made me listen to that. Here's my favorite clip of the group by the way because this is the one where they get quite a new phrase and they just give it to the old fart who they you know I remember when I said like I mentioned this on the show before but Bernie Sanders comes in he's at a Warriors game and he's getting nothing but attention and none of the news media would cover it

06:37 Oh, yeah. No of course not. And that just comes up in this conversation that we're going to have today so let's play Hillary Clinch's CBS 2 Well despite clinching the nomination Clinton is still being pursued by the zombie candidacy of Bernie Sanders They did that? Man, that's pretty funny. I like that. It's great. This is the CIAs network and of course it's fabulous. John Bernie you know he shouldn't have run in the first place. So let's go to Hillary Clinton on PBS Okay oh this is good John The last super Tuesday of the 2016 primary season and its something of a anticlimax according to new delegate counts Hillary Clinton wrapped up her Democratic nomination overnight

07:22 before polls opened in six states. What a lie! It's a huge lie, there were no... I just need to reiterate this because this whole process is not really part of the American voting system anyway it's just a couple of clubs but When the voting happens at the convention and which is like in July And that's when they can switch it any time and the way this was played was it was it was unbelievable Ministry of Movement well I'm gonna stop you, and we're gonna go to Hillary clinches on democracy now something of a contrast. Oh my goodness hold on a second Yeah, maybe good men Hillary

08:01 Hillary Clinton's claim, the Democratic presidential nomination—with Clinton wins in California and New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota—she is set to become the first woman ever nominated by a major party to run for the White House. But this was— Let her finish. Let her finish. I'm sorry. —party to run for the White House. With only one primary to go in the District of Columbia, Hillary Clinton has an insurmountable lead in pledged delegates over her challenger Bernie Sanders. But Clinton's pledge delegate count falls short of the 2,383 needed, meaning she will need to rely on the support of unelected superdelegates to officially secure the nomination at next month's convention in Philadelphia.

08:44 Now this is a contrasting little, this is more of the true statement. She goes on and she brings a bunch of people on and then she plays... This Hillary clinches, this is... She brings on Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Clifford Wasserman Schultz Yeah but this was done on Rachel Maddow And she pulled it from The Rachel Maddow Show And listen to what Wasserman Schultz has to say I just wish I knew which clip I'm playing man sorry Oh its DWS uh... because hillary clinches d w s last time and it's just i'm glad you're asking me about this is because the way the media has been reporting this is incorrect there aren't pledged delegates i.e superdelegates earned at any of these primary or caucus contests rachel those those those unpledged delegates

09:34 elected officials, party leaders—people who have spent years and years in the Democratic Party. Members of Congress are DNC members or superdelegates and they have the ability to decide who they choose to support at the convention at any point so they are not actually whatever they're saying now I mean most of them presumably would remain committed to who they've committed to now but they haven't all committed to a candidate really free to decide all the way up until July. What? So we're being misled, you think? Yeah that would be the point

CHAPTER 04 / 45 Discussion

New York Times, Sexism Allegations Against Sanders

A New York Times reporter questioned Bernie Sanders on whether his refusal to exit the race was a sexist act hindering the first potential female president. CBS analyst Bob Schieffer compared Sanders to "gum on your shoe," reflecting a broader media push for party unity. The narrative suggests that Democratic leaders are increasing pressure on Sanders to step aside to facilitate a flood of endorsements for Clinton.

new york times· bernie sanders· sexism· bob schieffer· democratic party

10:16 Yeah, we're being misled and everybody's all in. We're being misled by every single... I could have played these same group of clips from ABC, from NBC, I got to CBS and PBS It's unbelievable to me how they don't even care about the truth or any possibility They've shut Bernie out And that's that Screw Bernie, by the way! So once this happened Then we got all kinds of fun stuff. Here's this was Sanders before he left for Vermont I guess with a fabulous question from a New York Times reporter Excuse me, excuse me

11:03 Well, the other hands are up as well. Jeffrey do you have a question? What do you say to women who say that you staying in the race affects this potential and standing in the way of what could be the first female president? Is that a serious question? Yes it is a serious one! That any woman who was running for President anyone will oppose us This is The New York Times Because you're staying in the race, you're sexist. Yeah! Unbelievable! Wait wait wait listen to Bob Schieffer from CBS he had a great little quote Things are gonna change tomorrow You're gonna have a flood of endorsements and donations coming Hillary Clinton's way And with that comes a lot of pressure that has not been on Bernie Sanders

11:42 up until this point to change his argument. Bigwigs in the Democratic Party, leaders who he respects saying out loud in public it's really time Bernie to step aside Just trying to shake somebody like Bernie Sanders you know who has never sought office as a Democrat before and yet I mean he's been like gum on your shoes You just can't get him off of ya He's like gum on your shoe Hey way to talk about a guy who actually running for president Fuckers like gum on your shoe. Unbelievable. I got one, but John how? I mean when this happened to me it was like the lack of any pushback on this any whatsoever well in democracy now did it who cares right OK now but that wasn't even pushed back at no point did I hear what an outrage No nobody said anything

CHAPTER 05 / 45 Discussion

Norman Solomon, Hillary Clinton Foreign Policy Critique

Bernie Sanders delegate Norman Solomon appeared on Democracy Now to critique Hillary Clinton’s record on foreign intervention and welfare reform. Solomon argues that Clinton’s policies in the Middle East and North Africa align with "neocon" ideologies, often rebranded as "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P). He characterizes the media's early declaration of her victory as a form of de facto voter suppression.

norman solomon· democracy now· henry kissinger· libya· neocon

12:39 I mean, that is even the right wing talkers. I don't hear much of it going on. They're still arguing whether they should be supporting Trump. Yeah well everyone's pathetic they really are Well let's go to back to democracy now because they did bring this guy on and talk about pushback you're gonna hear some This guy is named Norman Solomon is a Bernie supporter And they had him they brought him on these are the Bernie clips that I have on this list there's Bernie I got any but I gotta get Let's start off with the Bernie clip. This is the, well let's do the introduction to Norman Solomon. So Norman Solomon you're a Bernie Sanders delegate clearly Hillary Clinton offering the olive branch to people like you. It sounded like she was saying the olive bullet

13:27 So, Norman Solomon you're a Bernie Sanders delegate. Clearly Hillary Clinton offering the olive branch to people. I think in her head she's thinking he better take a bullet That's probably what she was thinking. You better take a bullet for Hillary and get out of the way—it's something like that, really crazy. Clinton offering the olive branch to people like you, to Bernie Sanders supporters… Iso-that. Yeah, yeah. I'll do it later. …response to what happened last night? Well, I think Hillary Clinton's speech was well crafted and Bernie Sanders' speech was transcendent. And that's really symbolic of both campaigns.

14:08 If we're getting an olive branch now from Hillary Clinton, it's a rather small one. It's a rather brittle one. And it remains to be seen whether there is going to be very much substance. You know, it is the glass ceiling that needs to be shattered. We need equal rights for women as well as men and we also need equal scrutiny And when we think about the role that Hillary Clinton has played in terms of advocating for the so-called welfare reform of 1996, that decimated the lives of millions of women economically in this country—when you think of the women in the Middle East and North Africa whose lives have been shattered by the policies advocated and advanced by Hillary Clinton, it's problematic to see her as some sort

14:57 advocate and champion for the rights of women or children or any human being. So this is an ongoing challenge, and I think the most important words that we heard last night were three from Bernie—the struggle continues. Now, he commented on this. This is what we were talking about earlier—and you brought up actually—which is the AP announcement the night before he had a few things as choice words. OK? Your response to AP and NBC calling the Democratic nomination for Hillary Clinton on the eve of the largest primary in the United States, in your state, in California?

15:43 It really is an example of mass media genuflecting to elites within the Democratic Party. That's one way of putting it, or you could just say fucking lies! Elites within the Democratic Party in this case superdelegates those delegates were not elected for the purpose. Some of them are lobbyists for tobacco companies and so forth, and it's a pattern where AP and NBC and the major media outlets—they've been clueless for more than a year about what the Bernie Sanders campaign is all about

CHAPTER 06 / 45 Discussion

Associated Press, Media Manipulation and CIA Influence

The structure of the Associated Press is examined as a "club of newspapers" that often lacks original reporting and serves as a tool for narrative manipulation. Reference is made to Carl Bernstein’s work regarding CIA influence in the media, specifically citing recent CBS coverage of CIA Director John Brennan. The hosts argue that news organizations are more interested in the "coolness" of a female president than investigating political corruption.

associated press· cbs· john brennan· carl bernstein· operation mockingbird

16:20 They thought that progressives could not mount an effective presidential campaign. And I think it is de facto voter suppression, and more and more people are recognizing that kind of media manipulation as exactly that—efforts to manipulate. Do you think—do you think that is perhaps the reason why everyone fell in step? And the sequence I saw was AP first then CNN came. You know, and the way CNN puts it is AP is declaring. So you know, so it's very easy to do that. And AP really...you know first of all let's know what AP is. Very few people understand. Thank you thank you yes. AP is the Associated Press. AP is a club of newspapers that are members of the AP and generally speaking they pick a story from one of the newspapers then they put in on the wire and goes everywhere

17:11 And it's they have very little original reporting. It's almost always from somebody else is recording and then people in fact, a couple of friends of mine who are in the newspaper business often bitch about the AP because they don't get any money back to no real money. The AP is really you want us? You want AP to do I remember this. You want AP to do a blurb And even if it's one paragraph, it'll show up in 500 publications. Right? That that's what is not really great for journalism. It's great for announcing the new iPhone. Well, that's for sure. So the AP when they do something like what this guy did, which is original reporting, it's pretty odd. It doesn't really there's some things behind because it's not something they do normally unless someone newspaper had done this or he picked it up and took credit for it, which is also possible right

18:02 Anyway, so go on. Well... You were going to give me a sequence? Yeah what I was going to say is it appears to me that could it be the reason why everyone is afraid to really push back and even democracy now, please give me a break but really to push back and say this isn't outrage Is that for fear of advertising dollars being pulled back from the Clinton campaign or the Democrats moving forward do you think that's why they don't do it What are they? They're just assholes. Yeah, this is crazy It's simple you kind of it's not just that so its lazy assholes and they like Clinton So they're amenable to this yeah They want her to win. It's messed up I don't know why they think its cool honestly believe this

18:50 I think it was the same way with Obama to some extent. In fact, probably to a bigger extent. They think it's cool to get rid of this. We have never had a woman president let's have one! And Hillary's fine and okay, maybe there's some corruption going but so what? And I also think that the CIA and I hate to bring them into it But CBS is the lead on onto some of these stories. And CBS just did almost a hagiography on Brennan On 60 Minutes recently with Scott Pelley who was the head guy at CBS He's one of those... he's the anchor and he does he did this story. I mean it's ridiculous

19:27 And it's so obvious to anybody who knows, who has read the Carl Bernstein material about the media and the agency. But when this came out, sorry finish your thought. Well I'm just gonna say that there's a lot of pressure on these papers are dupes they're not doing their job they don't care the news organizations don't care to ask the simple question or even bring up what Debbie Wasserman Schultz brought up on The Rachel Maddow Show They don't...no fine Hillary is in! Yeah Let's just go with that and shut up but when this hit

CHAPTER 07 / 45 Discussion

Political Attack Ads, Clinton Email Scandal

A new political attack ad features historical footage of Bill Clinton’s denials regarding the Monica Lewinsky scandal overlaid with Hillary Clinton’s current statements about her private email server. The ad highlights her claims that she never sent or received material marked classified. The production is attributed to a group called American Alpaca, signaling an escalation in digital campaign tactics.

20:04 And I don't get political ads often here in Austin because we're all kind of, you know everything's uh all sewn up i guess. But the so right after that announcement and this will be a little entrement the first A real political attack ad against Clinton showed up on my TV. I don't know if you've seen this one where they intermingle Hillary with Bill, have you seen this? No. We get...I've seen they do very few here. First let's start off with this premise so we'll know this for the next few months California is in the pockets of the Democrats. They are not going to waste any money advertising in California, to the detriment of the California media! You'd think that media would get a clue and try to maybe shake things up a little bit... Yeah make it a little complicated no? Well they can do anything to get some money but they're getting NO MONEY! Dumb dumbos

20:56 It's very stupid. I've seen this in publishing all my life Here is so this is intermingled its video of Hillary and Bill and it's historic video And it goes, so it's a historic video of bill and current audio of Hillary about the emails. It's just great But I want to say one thing we turned over everything I want you to listen to me. I did not I did not I did not send classified material Not a single time and I did not receive Never. Any material that was marked or designated classified... I never told anybody to lie? That's all i could say! These allegations are false. Did you try to write those? I don't know how it works digitally at all. We believe American Alpac is responsible for the content of this message. Cute, very cute, I like it

21:42 That's a good one. Well, let's go back to this Solomon guy and I want to do a few more clips with Amy. Yeah Let's listen to...this is the clip called Bernie Guy and this is Solomon talking about Hillary's real Yes, well they've praised each other. They've praised each other's policies. Henry Kissinger and Hillary Clinton have publicly lauded each other's policies and I agree with the journalist at Consortium News formerly at Newsweek and Associated Press Robert Perry who has documented in great detail that Hillary Clinton's policies her advocacies for foreign intervention

CHAPTER 08 / 45 Discussion

Illegal Immigration, Clinton and Trump Rhetoric

A comparison of past and present political rhetoric reveals Hillary Clinton previously used strong language regarding the need to stop the "inflow of illegals." This is contrasted with Donald Trump’s current claims that the Mexican government intentionally sends "bad ones" across the border. The segment highlights the shifting Overton window on immigration policy within the Democratic party.

20:56 It's very stupid. I've seen this in publishing all my life Here is so this is intermingled its video of Hillary and Bill and it's historic video And it goes, so it's a historic video of bill and current audio of Hillary about the emails. It's just great But I want to say one thing we turned over everything I want you to listen to me. I did not I did not I did not send classified material Not a single time and I did not receive Never. Any material that was marked or designated classified... I never told anybody to lie? That's all i could say! These allegations are false. Did you try to write those? I don't know how it works digitally at all. We believe American Alpac is responsible for the content of this message. Cute, very cute, I like it

21:42 That's a good one. Well, let's go back to this Solomon guy and I want to do a few more clips with Amy. Yeah Let's listen to...this is the clip called Bernie Guy and this is Solomon talking about Hillary's real Yes, well they've praised each other. They've praised each other's policies. Henry Kissinger and Hillary Clinton have publicly lauded each other's policies and I agree with the journalist at Consortium News formerly at Newsweek and Associated Press Robert Perry who has documented in great detail that Hillary Clinton's policies her advocacies for foreign intervention

22:29 are essentially very similar to what we call neocon policies that prevailed under the presidency of George W. Bush, it's now just called liberal interventionism is now called responsibility to protect or R2P but the bottom line is the same so... What was that? R2P? Yeah, that's another little zinger this out there we have to start watching. What does it stand for? R2P, Responsibility To Protect Huh, okay. Good one to write down. Ability to protect or R2P but the bottom line is the same so I just think we need to have a single standard of evaluating The advocacy and policies of presidential candidates It is really fair to say that Hillary Clinton has advanced through her words through her deeds as Secretary State policies

23:20 continual US military intervention and de facto perpetual war. So I think we ought to debate that, do we support that or not? Do we go silent about it or not?" This brings me to my second political attack ad against Hillary Clinton which is another beauty, this time mixing up Trump and classic Hillary from the 90s. We do not want to do anything to encourage more illegal immigration into this country we have to stop the inflow of illegals coming into our country Mexican government's policies are pushing migration The Mexican government is much smarter much sharper much more cunning and they send the bad ones over because they don't want to pay for them

24:02 them. They don't want to take care of them." on Ruh-roh. Wow!

CHAPTER 09 / 45 Discussion

Libya Intervention, Hillary Clinton Private Emails

Private emails reveal Hillary Clinton’s central role in the 2011 military intervention in Libya, with staff members like Anne-Marie Slaughter congratulating her on turning the President's position. The hosts discuss the "we came, we saw, he died" quote regarding Muammar Gaddafi. Critics argue that the current instability in Libya, Iraq, and Syria is a direct result of the "perpetual war" policies Clinton advocated as Secretary of State.

24:59 Now put that one together now I don't this did not have a disclaimer So this may just be a viral thing that was put out there probably by Trump. It's great me No, I don't think so. I think trying best way to advance That's that's one of the super packs it has a research budget well. I haven't seen on TV. I only saw this Good one yeah, I'll say I'm gonna play the last Solomon clip because this is the one that I think It really has to eat at the Democrats, although I always remember my dad said to me when I was a little kid he said that the Democrats are the war party and the Republicans are the depression party. That was the rule back in the day. Meaning Republicans give us depression or what is the idea?

25:45 They run, they work through...they yeah or I don't know. I never really asked for much of an explanation maybe they're better in a depression? I have no idea. I'll take it but this is Bernie Clinton as a war pro-war candidate Bernie. I got it, I got it, I got it. Since when do advocates for nonviolence and peace go silent when Hillary Clinton is an advocate for perpetual war? There are people in Libya, Iraq, Syria who are suffering grievously because of policies not only in the past that she's advanced but ones that she's prescribing for the future. Since when do we go silent when Hillary Clinton affectionately praises and describes Henry Kissinger as

26:31 Her friend, let's be clear. Hillary Clinton is a pro-war candidate." Yes! We know that. Hold on where is my favorite clip? Hold on hold on my favorite clip from her. So I mean that is the land of unconfirmed ideas. We came we saw he died.

He says he's going to detail how you as Secretary of State, that there were conflicts of interest while the Clinton Foundation was doing business with foreign countries while you were in office

CHAPTER 10 / 45 Discussion

PBS NewsHour, Clinton Foundation and Foreign Policy

Judy Woodruff of PBS NewsHour questioned Hillary Clinton regarding Donald Trump’s allegations of conflicts of interest involving the Clinton Foundation and foreign governments. Clinton dismissed the claims as "recycled attacks" without factual basis. The interview also addressed Mark Landler’s description of Clinton as the "house hawk" and President Obama’s admission that failing to plan for post-intervention Libya was his worst mistake.

28:03 that the foundation benefited personally from this. He's going to talk about, he said millions of dollars being exchanged is this something you're worried about and is the foundation something you need to sever you and your family from completely if you're elected? I am not worried about this. This is just more of the same recycled attacks that people like Donald Trump have been making against us for a long time There's no factual basis to it, that has been proven time and time again. I can't stop someone from retreading arguments

28:45 uh, disproved over and over again. He can say whatever he wants to. He can run whatever campaign he wants to so I'm not going to respond to his personal attacks that's something that you know he can choose to do i'm gonna respond however to the attacks that he makes on women and immigrants and Muslims and people with disabilities at POWs and federal judges, and the list keeps growing. One question on foreign policy you were described in a recent acclaimed book by Mark Landler as being the quote house hawk in the Clinton war cabinet and we know that you talked about this you encouraged the president to intervene in Libya in 2011 recently President Obama said

29:30 His worst mistake in office was probably failing to plan for the day after what he thought was the right thing to do in intervening there. How do you see your responsibility in that? Well, first of all it's important to remember where we were and why the president made the decision he did because this was a presidential decision. You know I wish i had known about this clip before. I bet I could have done another Hillary exact same you know two Hillarys together same yeah same text which sounds like this. I have faith in the American people that they will make the right choice here This was a

Anderson Cooper, Clinton Foundation Transparency Issues

During a CNN interview, Anderson Cooper questioned Hillary Clinton on the lack of transparency regarding a large donation from Algeria and secret Canadian donors. Clinton admitted that "one or two instances" slipped through the cracks but defended the foundation's work in providing HIV/AIDS medicine. The hosts mock her claims that the foundation is responsible for fighting obesity and improving nutrition globally.

30:09 You should mention what you just played was two different Hillary clips overlaid. Yes, yeah, it's two different Hilary clips Overlayed where she has the same cadence as the same thing I'm pretty sure because this was kind of like a Junket she did everything when she just threw him under the bus though I think that was funny because what you just said you know Hillary is bragging about your no She sent it right back to him of course she did Of course. She doesn't want that, she knows what's in the email I appreciate it But just listen to the same questions The same talking points almost to the T with Anderson Pooper Trump has said he is clearly going to be focusing on the Clinton Foundation Last night he said and i quote the Russians, the Saudis, the Chinese all gave money to the foundation and got favorable treatment in return

30:57 Foundation has obviously raised huge sums of money for worthy causes. It's always not been transparent though tens of millions of dollars I love that it's always not been transparent yeah, that's correct pooper We know he didn't mean that He meant to say it hasn't always been transparent but the truth comes out foundation is obviously a rage huge sums of money for worthy causes its always not been transparent though. Tens of millions of dollars have come from a Canadian partnership whose donors can remain secret, there was a large donation from Algeria that wasn't submitted to the State Department for approval. Gee you'd think someone would do some investigative work like I don't know Charles Ortel or something maybe someone could look into that pooper? If your president will your husband divest himself of any association with the foundation?

31:37 Well, Anderson you know we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it but let me just try to set the record straight. We had absolutely overwhelming disclosure were there one or two instances that slipped through the cracks? Yes! But was the overwhelming... They haven't even done a properly audited financial report since the inception of The Clinton Foundation since its inception My goodness. She's great though, I mean she just lies through her teeth! Yeah she's got everything right but these... Now you can see the questions were all scripted You're asking this he asked it exactly the same way i think even maybe in the Libya things and you know one or two instances that slipped through the cracks yes but was overwhelming amount of anything that anybody gave the foundation disclosed absolutely and I'm proud of the foundation Was the overwhelming amount of what anyone gave to the foundation? But I don't know

32:29 Now, does that mean there's still a little left over? Was it all? Did you report ALL money that was donated or just an overwhelming amount. Because if you're looking at a couple hundred million dollars a year... You know what she did is gave her the out and she can say I never said all the money! Nope nope The overwhelming majority Back a little bit more Two instances that slipped through the cracks, yes. But was the overwhelming amount of anything that anybody gave the foundation disclosed? Absolutely! Wow I can't believe Pooper didn't jump on that... That's so easy

33:09 and I'm proud of the foundation. I'm proud for her, yeah, of course, of the work that it has done 9 million people have lower cost HIV AIDS medicine because of the work of The Clinton Foundation and my husband okay that's 100 million what do you do with the rest we have women across the country from Latin America And we know Bill has women. And Africa, across the world I mean getting good jobs and being able to support themselves for the first time here in our country we have better food... Hold on a second! She says we have women across the country and then she corrects herself? Yeah she says Africa Asia... Well she's actually correcting herself, I mean across the world or something yeah Let's listen

33:55 Go back a little more Work of the Clinton Foundation and my husband we have women across the country from Latin America And I think because it across the country, and they should realize Latin America is not across the country. Maybe that's yeah something like and my husband. We have women across the country from Latin America, uh... and Africa across the world I mean getting good jobs and being able to support themselves for the first time here in our country How is The Clinton Foundation helping with that? Getting good jobs And what's a good job? Low Jobs! Yeah thank you We have better food and nutrition that is helping young kids A classic John C. Dvorak zinger In America be

34:43 healthier and not fight obesity. We have so much that we're proud of. Boy, getting health... Isn't it Michelle Obama's job? How can you claim... how can the Clinton Foundation now claim all of a sudden... It doesn't sound like the foundation has got to do with obesity. Yeah. Obesity! We have so much that we're proud of and I will put that up against any of the innuendo and accusation coming from Donald Trump because the work that has been done has garnered accolades and appreciation from every corner of the world. All right, anyway... Yeah blah blah blah you're right I'm done with her too Same answer very good Just before we move on to another important topic yeah but iIm trying to follow everybody so Gary Johnson oh god yeah

CHAPTER 12 / 45 Discussion

Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party Border Strategy

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is criticized for his unconventional media strategy, which included kissing a camera during an interview. Johnson argued for a "moving line" of work visas to manage the border and claimed that illegal immigrants statistically commit less crime than U.S. citizens. The hosts express skepticism toward Johnson’s performance and his ability to challenge the two-party system.

gary johnson· libertarian party· work visas· border patrol· sanctuary cities

35:32 So much, this is an example of an older guy smoking too much dope. Now he's my age. He said come on and said he stoned but he's my age right? Isn't he 50 I'm not saying anything more why what is that now hold on all right oh no it was from 53 so he's a 10 years older than me alright he 63 No he's from 1953 So he's 63. That's not old, okay? Ageist prick! He's not old. I thought you said that's old, I'm sorry apologies. Now i saw the president...I should have clipped it this morning they're previewing this is all part of the ministry of truth

36:21 They're previewing Jimmy Kimmel on, sorry President Obama on Fallon this evening. So they already have previews running everyone's playing it and the president actually sits there and says we need to strengthen our two-party system Wow, man. Like no mean like no No we don't do We don't have a two party system You want to two party system That to me was very insulting Very insulting Particularly because we have a female nominated for the Green Party It was Jill Stein I think who initially was the first you just know that's why they say actually The first one ever with Shirley Chisholm

37:06 And what party was she with? Years and years ago. And then we also had Cynthia McKinney for the Libertarian Party. Plenty, yeah. So it's okay to slip in for a major party but it's kind of chicken shit towards women I mean hey there is a long line of women who have really tried to do this and I'm very proud of all that they have done I was pretty hopeful about Gary Johnson, although i refuse to vote for anyone who's a member of a party and he now instead of independent He is the libertarian candidate and he's insane. Former governor johnson the people coming across The border illegally are often not the best... This is his strategy for uh I'll tell you what his strategy is And I don't know who told him but it's probably sitting around with a bunch of his dudes They got a great one man Do how ya do it? You gotta get trumped tweet about

37:53 I know what i'll do, i'll just say some outrageous stuff and maybe he'll tweet about me. That's the best that Mexico has to offer. That isn't true Chris! That is what is so misunderstood The people coming across the border are people that just want jobs. The jobs are there but they can get them as well Absolutely So how about making a system whereby it would be easy to get a work visa a moving line to get across the border, having a work visa so that the people crossing the border illegally that the Border Patrol would actually be able to identify those people as opposed to mothers with children and they're actually waiting across the Rio Grande because of jobs that exist and they can't get over to take advantage. But is Trump wrong when he says

38:38 they also send the worst not the best no rapists and murderers that come as well absolutely untrue but you have cases like the one in san francisco, not only did it give a bash to sanctuary cities but showed that this guy had been kicked out he comes back and kills somebody statistics. You know you always have the worst and i don't want to in any way defend the worse but statistically legal illegal immigrants commit far less crime than u s citizens that's statistically speaking are you ready for Donald Trump once you're in this thing and he recognizes you to give you a big punch in the nose for calling him a racist. I think that they've already started coming so, y'know Donald? That's an interesting rebuttal you have there Governor He kisses the camera! I don't know how it's gonna go over but it may get on the action That's his strategy kissing the camera Yeah way to go Gary He's...I'm telling ya He's stoned Smoking dope when your in your 60s not healthy That's not true

CHAPTER 13 / 45 Discussion

George Stephanopoulos, Second Amendment and Heller Decision

Hillary Clinton refused to give a direct "yes" or "no" answer to George Stephanopoulos regarding whether the individual right to bear arms is a constitutional right. She argued that the late Justice Scalia’s Heller decision was a departure from historical "nuanced" readings of the amendment. Clinton maintained that any constitutional right is subject to "reasonable regulations" supported by a majority of Americans.

george stephanopoulos· second amendment· antonin scalia· heller decision· gun control

39:36 You have no evidence to back that up. I'm just saying it though, the evidence is right in front of you! It's him! Extra evidence... Good point The jury will disregard my comment Final one before we move into the next section of the Ministry of Truth One more Hillary clip but i do want to play with an analysis Okay, I'll have a quickie Not well, kind of quickie. This is Stephanopoulos who is of course a Clinton operative insider donated to the Clinton Foundation. Love you WWE. Yes, and listen to Hillary Clinton how she circumvents answering the question about the Second Amendment which I think is very important. Let's talk about the Second Amendment as you know Donald Trump has also been out on the stump talking about the Second Amendment saying he want to abolish the second amendment i know you reject that but but I wanna ask you specific question do you believe an individual right to bear arms is a constitutional right? That it's not linked service in a militia

40:34 I think that for most of our history, there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment until the decision by the late Justice Scalia. And there was no argument until then that localities and states and the federal government had a right, as we do with every amendment to impose reasonable regulations. So I believe we can have common sense gun safety measures consistent with the second amendment and in fact what I have proposed is supported by 90% of the American people and more than 75 percent of responsible gun owners. So that is exactly what I think is constitutionally permissible." And the Heller decision also does say there can be some restrictions, but that's not what I asked. Do you believe in their conclusion that an individual's right to bear arms as a constitutional right?

41:29 If it is a constitutional right, then it like every other constitutional right is subject to reasonable regulations. And what people have done with that decision is to take it as far as they possibly can. Now she just will not answer the question now she won't ask you the question but well she's a bad thing yeah just to show you how incredibly crappy our media is our press or journalists Hold on. Now, we didn't spend any time on this because it was no surprise to us that a documentary about guns was rigged—edited, falsified, faked.

CHAPTER 14 / 45 Discussion

Katie Couric, Under the Gun Documentary Manipulation

Katie Couric and the director of the documentary "Under the Gun" are accused of deceptive editing after a raw audio recording proved they inserted eight seconds of silence to make gun rights advocates appear stumped. While "Morning Joe" and Chuck Todd discussed the controversy, the hosts point out that none of the pundits had actually watched the full clip. This is cited as a prime example of mainstream media "scrubbing" and bias.

katie couric· under the gun· documentary editing· morning joe· chuck todd

42:12 So, you know like what big news. This is Katie Couric this is the she works for Yahoo and I'll play that it's like 20 seconds of played for you but what happened after that to me was a lot more telling and interesting. Katie Couric does a documentary about guns and this was going to be the most fair and balanced and everyone's gonna understand each other's opinion And she had a number of gun owners and asked them a question They taped the interviews. It was kind of one of these, you know, settings where there's a number people in the room she's asking questions they answer...they taped the whole session. Yes! Smart idea that if this ever happens to you always try and do that but the way it was edited when she asked the question, you'll hear in a moment then they just cut two faces close up of them people looking around left and right like oh I don't know what to say I don't want and its like eight seconds

43:07 And then the next shot is a close-up of a revolver of the chamber closing up. Nice sound effect, nicely sweetened So let's just hear the offending edit first. Let me ask you another question if there are no background checks for gun purchasers How do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun? Needless to say journalistically not such a great

43:44 Funny though. Yeah, funny now I was looking around going oh i don't know what to say right now when that came out when i heard about this and this is at least a week old i watched the documentary and again i didn't even think it was worth bringing up like okay yeah i see what they've done here uh now listen to the journalists many who praise themselves as journalists on the Morning Joe show. Here's the entire... They got like 10 people on that show, they got this guy from that news desk, I got someone calling and they've got a lot of people Let's see how the fine mainstream media journalistic angle is on this She asked a question

44:23 Then there's like an eight or nine second pause where it's just shots of this audience of gun rights advocates looking like they were stumped by the question. Cut to a gun... Unfortunately for the director of the film, Oh they've seen it! The full tape was produced by this group that showed them giving long well thought out ten minute response to the question. Examples of how to prevent guns from falling into the hands of... I mean their legitimate arguments in the debate over background checks and gun ownership Yeah did you see it? I haven't seen the clip, but i've read about it. Oh that's stunning! How about you guys? Uh... King? Yeah no, I-I've read about it Joe, I haven't seen the clip but it sounds like the kind of thing It's staggering That you don't do uh journalistically I mean you think you don't... Chuck and Chris have you guys seen it? Edit things to make them misleading Haven't seen but I'll say this is exactly what we don't need sort of plotting against them You know I mean this is the goodwill goes right down the toilet when you're trying to have a conversation Chuck, Chuck Have you seen it

45:19 Only the clip in the controversial part of the clip. I didn't have not watched the whole doc Can you believe this no one has seen it? They're all pontificate whoa? Too much they gotta go to their wine there's parties and listen to Dardanae listen that what's his name meet the press What's-his-name What an unfortunate choice of words.

46:02 Yeah, that's what you guys do. You just scrub it so no one gets pissed off So the advertisers don't get pissed off So whoever is not supposed to get pissed off doesn't get pissed off. You just scrub it Don't ya Chuck Todd? You just scrub it because you don't want something small To take away if you've got a larger point to make Yes Alright though No One seen it But yet they know exactly how to scrub it Now, speaking of scrubbing... Very very... Before you go on. I do have one clip since you brought this up and I saw my Hillary clip but I don't want to forget that. I'm sorry yes go go go But since you brought it up, you had Stephanopoulos, I was watching the Samantha Bee program over the week

CHAPTER 15 / 45 Discussion

Keith Ellison, Media Dismissal of Trump Momentum

A clip from 2015 shows Congressman Keith Ellison warning George Stephanopoulos that Donald Trump had significant momentum, which was met with open laughter from the media panel. The hosts use this to illustrate how out of touch the mainstream media is with the American public. An additional anecdote describes an MSNBC cameraman swearing on a hot mic, reflecting internal disdain within news organizations.

keith ellison· george stephanopoulos· samantha bee· msnbc· media bias

46:45 I don't like that. And who is the, you know, the used to be she's obviously she's not really a Hillary support. She doesn't seem to support anybody but she's very nasty mean. She does a lot of that Katie Couric type editing Well, yes but for humor. So she found an old clip from 715-15 which is just less than a year ago on the Stephanopoulos shows with Stephanopoulos and some one of the woman analysts going actually apoplectic in laughter over Ellison, the guy that a congressman from I guess he's from Michigan. The Muslim guy who makes the following comment and then you listen to these two anybody well from the Democratic side of the fence who thinks that whose terrified at the possibility of President Trump better vote

47:40 better get active, better get involved because this man has got some momentum and we better be ready for the fact that he might be leading the Republican ticket next. I know you don't believe that but i want to go on. Wow! The two of them went nuts. Oh! Now one is...the reason why this clip is important Because of what you're talking about which is the bull crap that we're getting fed by the media and the Bull crap that we have about Hillary winning the whole thing when it's not really over Is the is the absolute lack of that seems to me Ellison who was a congressman? I think he's in touch with his public, and he saw this He saw the possibility of Trump these guys these guys who were supposed to be informing us This is the mainstream media. The mainstream Media supposed to be informing us

48:31 about what's going on to keep things... That is in fact the charter of stations and networks that use the public airwaves. It doesn't necessarily hold true for cable, but if you have a license like ABC-CBS-NBC you have to report in it, you have to work in the public interest And if these people are so out of touch, they can't see something that a congressman can see. And they're the ones giving us... They're the ones who are supposed to be telling us what the hell's going on. I'm reminded by one of my complaints about the newspapers who couldn't see their own demise ahead of them because they were just blind. I just don't see why anyone could trust anybody in the mainstream media! They're idiots! They do not know WHAT they're doing! Yeah well, they don't care. They mainly just don't care

49:22 It's not worth playing, but did you... I think a lot of them believe they're sincere. Maybe they do care? Well there was something interesting that happened which i'm not going to play it didn't clip it maybe you've seen it MSNBC just kind of shows the balance between the experts so they cut to Bernie Sanders he's talking and there is shot framed in women reporting Bernie's over her right shoulder and she's talking about it actually I thought she did kinda good move But she says, all right let's listen to what he is saying. She steps out of frame and that is when the cameraman should have pushed in and gotten a medium shot Instead he forgets they are live and says What the fuck did you do that for? You ruined my shot! To the reporter It kind of shows everyone has disdain even their colleagues have disdain for these people

50:11 Give a crap, they're idiots. And the camera guys know it! I'm sorry photographers... The photographers know it. Camera guys is fine. So now we move into the cover-up which we've got a lot of stuff going on here this is the cover up that first started with edited tape at the State Department Wow, man. They really don't want anyone to think that they were lying about Iran negotiations going on before it was... you know, before any official date that the public has been told."

CHAPTER 16 / 45 Discussion

State Department, Iran Deal Transcript Scrubbing

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest faced questioning from reporter Byron Tao regarding a scrubbed transcript where Earnest appeared to say "No Kevin" in response to whether officials lied about the Iran deal. The White House claimed the omission was due to "crosstalk" making the audio inaudible. Earnest eventually pivoted to an "affirmative" statement, claiming the administration made a "fact-based case" rather than directly denying the lie.

josh earnest· state department· iran nuclear deal· byron tao· transcript

50:48 And, of course we have the video...the piece was edited out of the State Department video record where Jen Psaki lied and said no. There was absolutely a...she lied about Victoria Nuland lying that there had been no contact prior to the official date. This came up in a different way with the transcript from The White House press session with Josh Earnest. And what's interesting to me about this is that these guys claim that everything is on the transcript, even if it gets missing from the video. Right? In this case the question was asked did anyone lie and Josh Earnest says no Kevin but the transcript reflected inaudible

51:37 So first we're going to get the intro from Byron Tao, I think he's from Fox and he is... ...going to pose this question to Josh about how come the transcript didn't reflect... what you actually said. Josh, ABC reported over the weekend that the White House scratched a line from a briefing transcript because reportedly you said it was inaudible I was in that briefing and if I recall the question then it seemed pretty audible to me The video also makes it pretty clear at least I heard what was being said Is the White House going to restore that line? Well Byron, I think what was true at the time is there was little cross talk And fortunately

52:20 your conscientious colleagues at ABC News recognizing the discrepancy, asked me about it the next day. I had an opportunity to explain exactly what had occurred and that's what I did. We've now in two instances both the White House and State Department scratching things from a public record. I understand you're acknowledging there was some cross talk in the White House situation but both have been about the Iran deal. But Byron, I don't think its fair for you say that. Now, notice the journalist is saying hey this is kind of interesting. Coincidence? Yeah yeah this is kind of interesting. Coincidence I think not! Both of the records that have been scrapped deal with this lie about uh...the Iran deal what's going on

53:06 There was some crosstalk in the White House situation, but both have been about the Iran deal. But Byron I don't think it's fair for you to say that they were scratched. Well you can't say they were scratched! That's not fair! Uh...that's actually light How about censored? How about withheld? How about not transparent anything is scrapped as like he mentioned Iran? It's not fair. It's not fair exactly that's exact what I heard too man, it's exactly what I heard From the public record understand your knowledge in some crosstalk in the White House situation. Yeah, we've been about the Iranian Scratched

53:48 In the State Department case, it was removed. Right. So I think here it was not transcribed. So I think it's important to note that distinction there between what was apparently an effort at the State Department to make a specific decision to remove a portion of the video and that's obviously something that I've said is inconsistent with what you'd expect from the whole goal of engaging in a public briefing. The situation that your citing as related a specific issue with the transcript that relates to two words. So I think you'd be hard-pressed to make the case that there's a link between the two." Okay, so he is saying you would be hard pressed to say there is a link between two words

54:33 scrapped, scrubbed removed from the record by saying we couldn't hear it. Now hard case to make well let's listen to the question and Ernest's original answer this is from May 6th I did enhance his answer a little bit just so you can hear but i'm pretty sure if you're doing a transcript you can't hear word maybe you've enhanced yourself. Can you state categorically that no senior official in this administration Has ever lied publicly about any aspect of the Iran nuclear deal. Now did you hear it? Yeah He said no Kevin, right I just heard the no he actually says No Kevin Ever lied publicly about any aspect of the Iran nuclear deal. No Kevin You've already through Skype so I heard it through Skype yeah now like I heard it yeah No Kevin he says No Kevin

55:22 Now, Josh Earnest recognizes his mistake and starts to answer it in the proper way according to his binder. Can I re-ask you that question just for clarity? The question was can you categorically state that no senior administration official in this administration has ever lied publicly about any aspect of the Iran nuclear deal? Byron let me just say that in the affirmative which... This is a great way to do it! Let me state that in the affirmative. So is it true or not? Byron, let me just say that in the affirmative. First he said no which meant somebody lied and so they had to scratch that because oh my god I actually told the truth. And then he went back to say lemme say that in the affirmative but...

56:09 What does that mean? Does that mean yes, somebody lied? Listen to it. Let me just say the affirmative which is that the administration has made a forceful and fact-based accurate truthful case This is so beautiful I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure this statement is filled with holes Byron let me just say that in the affirmative is that the administration has made a forceful and a forceful fact-based Fact based accurate truthful case accurate truthful case Wow, okay? Case yeah. It's a game Thank you it's a case they you're absolutely right They made a case based upon facts not all the facts but they made a case they didn't answer the question

56:53 Good one. Accurate, truthful case about how the American people and the international community benefit Yeah he's just saying we made the case that is- How they benefited! They made a case about how they benefitted It's cause it's- Has been a forceful and fact based accurate truthful case About how the American people in the international community benefit from an international agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon And I what i think is a much more Worthy endeavor is to scrutinize the claims of those individuals who criticize the Iran deal. Yeah, right Okay fine then move it over to Donald subject right very interesting So he says we have made a case so doesn't answer the question He says we but he uses all these truthful and fact-based words this is that's really good what he did there That's dynamite better than a lot of these guys something that was real was a good one

CHAPTER 17 / 45 Discussion

James Rosen, White House Press Briefing Confrontation

Fox News reporter James Rosen confronted Josh Earnest over the refusal to amend the May 9th briefing transcript despite clear video evidence of his response. Earnest repeatedly refused to review the video or correct the record, leading to accusations of a lack of transparency. The dispute centers on whether the administration intentionally misled the public regarding the timeline of negotiations with Iran.

james rosen· josh earnest· fox news· iran deal· transparency

57:39 So this comes up the next day because of course these are not satisfactory answers and this is a colleague of Byron who now brings up this scrubbed transcript once more. Lastly, I want to return with some regret to the subject of controversy over the official White House transcript of the press briefing on May 9th Just by way of recapping, the controversy relates to the fact that my Fox News colleague Kevin Kork asked you whether you can say categorically that no senior administration official had ever lied publicly about the Iran nuclear deal.

58:19 ABC News, Bloomberg News, Jason Chaffetz and many others this reporter included state categorically that the video shows unmistakably that you answered no Kevin. And in fact Mr. Court gave you a second chance during that briefing to answer that question because the answer was so striking he thought you misunderstood it. You said yesterday there was a little cross talk that made this exchange inaudible. The very transcript of yesterday's briefing is studded with the word inaudible where it's appropriate, why did the May 9th transcript not contain the word? James I don't write transcripts obviously we have staff... You're not a quality though I assume Of course i do Here's the point I've been quite clear about exactly what our position on this has been

59:12 The administration has worked very hard to present a forceful, fact-based truthful case about the way that the United States and the rest of international community benefits from Iran not obtaining a nuclear weapon. And the truth is there are a lot of Republicans who oppose the deal who said a whole bunch of things about the Iran deal that was wrong. And I don't know if they were mistaken. I don't know if they were naive. I don't know if they were poorly briefed. I don't know if they were lying They were wrong. I leave to them to defend exactly the position that they have taken? And I think I've presented factually, repeatedly exactly the case that we have made. My question was limited to the matter of the transcript and why if you're asserting there was crosstalk that made something inaudible, the word inaudible didn't appear at the appropriate place? I don't know Final question on this Essentially Josh what your doing is your standing there at podium and maintaining that you did not say that which it is plainly discernable you said James I think what im saying

1:00:12 There have been three follow-ups now to this question, and I've answered it quite directly exactly what our position is. So if you'd like me to do it again, I can do it again. I guess the final question is... Stop! Wait, wait, Kaker. Ten seconds worth of it. ...and do it again? I guess the final question is are you willing to review that video one more time Josh with an eye toward possibly amending as it should be amended? No Mike. So, no I'm not going to do that. No. He made a mistake at the beginning of the question. By saying incredibly? The guy asked him specifically did you not understand when you said this, no did you not understand the question

1:00:53 And that's when he should have said, yeah. I didn't understand the question and so you know okay...I kind of screwed up and tried to answer it the best I could after that but i was like it was an awkward question I didn't understand right away Yeah, boom. There was no cross talk he kept saying others crossed do that now just lie or not just a bunch of liars and they don't know then they they just keep digging deeper holes and now we go to the State Department where this end off and of course were still investigating whether this is a cover up if Hillary Clinton's plane crash in Iran Or reported, purported plane crash. So now this goes back to the State Department where we're still not done with the video! It seems that some words Mark Toner spoke because they're really mixing up... They're bringing everybody in no one person does two days in a row it's Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau but it's Mark Toner its Kirby they have mixing everybody up probably to confuse them

CHAPTER 18 / 45 Discussion

FOIA Requests, Hillary Clinton TPP Emails

The State Department is delaying the release of Hillary Clinton’s emails regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) until after the November election. A clerical error in a court filing suggested a release date of "November 31st," a date that does not exist. The hosts speculate the delay is intended to prevent the emails from influencing the upcoming Brexit vote in the United Kingdom.

tpp· foia· matt lee· brexit· state department

1:01:50 But listen what we discover. Yes, sir? You said that the Office of Legal Advisor was continuing to investigate but I thought that last week you had said that you would run into a dead end and if somebody else brought you information you would look at it so the investigation continues? So you're absolutely right. I did say that last week which is why I came out and offered this change, if you will in our assessment. And that is basically because the secretary said he wants to dive deeper into this look more into what happened and try to get to the bottom of what happened. And so what our office of legal advisor did was go back and look at what are other areas where there could be information? And again some of that is emails and we talked about that last week. So

1:02:47 Again, we're trying to collect emails that are pertinent or relevant to the issue at hand and go through those systematically. Okay, systematically. Well the State Department has a bit of a problem with emails. There's too many e-mails and too many FOIA requests. We go to our buddy Matt Lee who should resign from The Associated Press quite honestly. I want him to have a job but he should be outraged by what happened but he still is the best reporter on The Beat And by having analysis once we hear the answer to the release of Hillary Clinton's TPP emails. Based on the information in the original article about this FOIA request, this is a very broad request I think it asks for any correspondence sent over four year period between so 2009-2013 between the staff

1:03:37 of the Office of the Secretary and the staff in the USTR, U.S Trade Representatives' office that mentions TPP so that's going to be a broad spectrum of emails and it's not just related to Secretary Clinton's emails given the scope of that and the fact frankly we've got as many are tired of hearing me say but you know we received approximately 22 thousand FOIA requests over the last fiscal year It's a lot to go through. So it's not simply an estimate that we're throwing out a date like that, it's based on our best estimation right now. But do you have any idea of what the universe is of emails that would have to go through? I mean, is it like every single email that was sent between

1:04:25 here and USTR that would have to be looked at? I mean, that is the again. That's the parameters. But it is a smaller universe than every single email of course everyone sent but it is but it's over a four-year period and it's between It's on a very hot button issue of time And the date given I mean does November 31st exist as a date in the State Department calendar or is What's the deal with that? I mean, is that one of these weird alter universe kind of things. No, look, I assume whoever gave that date meant to say the last day in November. So in fact, the correct date should have been the 30th of November. That was pretty funny where they released it as oh well we'll have the emails on November 31st and if you just do a Google search... It's probably not possible now but when it first came out everyone just copied that Oh email coming out November 31st

1:05:15 There is no November. Now I know why this is happening now because come on, uh, select from date start four years ago to date end from field email clintonemail.com you know the content select content TPP and you've got a pretty good start You know why they're not releasing this? Because the UK doesn't want anyone to see what Hillary Clinton is going to do or how she really feels about trade deals. They're waiting for Brexit! Somebody made a call and said, whatever you do don't let that crap come out before the Brexit vote. Oh they're worried that it's gonna make people wanna leave... Yes absolutely! That's a good catch Absolutely its gotta be that there's no reason

Brexit Referendum, City of London Financial Sector

The UK government extended the voter registration deadline for the Brexit referendum following a website crash, which some interpret as a move to help the "Remain" campaign. The City of London, a sovereign financial enclave, is reportedly nervous about the impact of a "Leave" vote on mergers, acquisitions, and the status of EU workers. The hosts argue that global banking interests will work to ensure Brexit does not happen.

brexit· city of london· european union· voter registration· gina miller

1:06:10 Well, the Brexit vote is like this month so... June 23rd. I'll take a quick detour on that just for a second. Britain is extending the voter registration period for this month's referendum on EU membership The move comes after a government website crashed following a last-minute surge in applications before Tuesday night's deadline Several senior politicians and the electoral commission watchdog had earlier called for the deadline to be extended by 48 hours to midnight Thursday night into Friday morning. And, The UK's Guardian newspaper reported thousands of postal votes from Britons in Germany may have got lost in the post after confusion about prepaid envelopes." Okay so here is what I extrapolate from this report They're afraid they don't have the votes

1:06:58 There was a server that crashed and it was like an hour, an hour-and-a-half. The people... Who? The Brexit or the Brexit stays? The stays are afraid they don't have the vote! We've seen this in Europe when people vote and it's not what the elites want do over Yeah, that's exactly right. Let me play... I have a Brexit clip since we're wandering away Are you in on this? That they don't have the votes and that's why they're trying to extend it? I would say they are fearful that they don't have the votes Yes, fearful Because right now it looks like there is about 2% the Brexit people have a 2% lead. But that could be, who knows? And but let's play this like I thought this was meaningful as soon as I heard this little clip is on Deutsche Welle who is obviously not against the Brexit but when I heard they said oh I didn't even think of this because this is the group of people in Great Britain that really run things and they don't want to break Brexit and it kind of explained in this clip

1:07:56 Now, the City of London's financial sector is often referred to as one of Britain's most successful industries. Some 60% of all European headquarters of EU firms are based in the UK and that's more than Germany France Switzerland and The Netherlands put together now with that in mind many EU citizens who work in the City of London are worried about what could happen to them in a case of Brexit The City of London is a melting pot. The financial heart of the British capital employs analysts from all over Europe Would they need a visa if Britain leaves the EU?

1:08:31 And banks here manage the accounts of British retirees living in Spain. Would they have to sell off their European properties? The specter of a Brexit worries Gina Miller, asset manager in the city. It could be terrible for the city because there's so much going on in the city and we are seen as being one of the forefronts of financial services and being a leader in that sector the modelling that's gone on, there will definitely be a huge impact. Many workers here are feeling nervous. The merger and acquisition activity so crucial to the world's largest financial centre is down. Investment from abroad has declined too—not a great outlook for this major sector of the British economy.

1:09:17 It's very important, the City of London as really perhaps our most successful industry in the UK. Yeah yeah I'm sure that's going to stop you... And it goes on and on and then the city of London we have to explain again why don't you explain The city of London is its own entity. No it has its own airport has its own mayor has his own fire and police department it has its own financial structure. Its a little enclave within London called the City of London It has its own police, they have their own uniforms. It's a totally independent operation... And their drug dealers are much better connected! These guys are the big shots in the banking world. Yeah and a lot of Americans as we heard from our former New York banker all his ex-Deutsche Bank buddies are all in the city of London setting up you know banking services

1:10:13 money services. Yeah, and these you know the bankers run things Hillary's one of the is their representative and she is there representative isn't she? Is yeah And they're not gonna let this Brexit happen They're just not going to it's not gonna happen now which is what I've said all along Now before we go too far to Europe. I want to bring him back to the second email issue as There how he could take a short break No, no, but I'll just wrap all this up and just wrap it right still my two Hilary clips We'll take a break and we'll do your Hillary clips. Hey, you know what? This is our show! We can do whatever we want. We can do whatever we want so continue with your little thing because you have a wrap I assume. Yeah of course I'm wrapping. Well what's really beautiful is Matt Lee had more questions about emails because really we want to have all emails from Hillary public but...and I thought we had all them but no

CHAPTER 20 / 45 Discussion

State Department, 75-Year Timeline for Email Release

In response to a lawsuit by the RNC, the State Department argued in court that it would take 75 years to fully process and redact 1.5 million pages of emails from Hillary Clinton’s top aides. The department claims it can only process 500 pages per month due to the complexity of the documents. This is characterized by the hosts as a deliberate "unreasonable burden" defense to avoid public disclosure.

foia· cheryl mills· huma abedin· rnc· judicial watch

1:11:06 No, we don't have any anywhere near all of them. In particular when we want to have her staff you know her immediate staff Uma Abedin what's the Anna Marie Goddard whatever name is and regard our does that her name Cheryl Mills yeah the whole little group there's Yeah how long do you think the State Department has argued it will take Before they have all of those FOIA requests completed for her emails ten years you guys say it's gonna take 75 years I actually did a little digging on this 75 years everybody You want to hear how this is explained? Oh, and I mean oh, you know. I mean that isn't an incredible number but So I can't comment

1:11:57 specifically because it's a matter of ongoing litigation. But I would ask you guys to look at the court filings that do provide the details on why we arrived at that figure, and it's an enormous amount of emails or rather... Sorry, there is enormous amount of FOIA requests. Oh! Is it a lot of emails are not? No just FOIA requests. Fraud. uh... and uh... very complex so this stuff would be released sooner than seventy five years just under the regular again uh... relations is a small volume for one of us longer than most classifications last until well on the stuff that's classified as for twenty seventy-five years

1:12:50 Again, I refer you to the court filing. It's a very broad range involving a number of people over a period of four years and it's not an outlandish estimation believe it or not It's not outlandish. I mean it just, I mean... I refer you to the court filing because of the rationale behind this estimate. Okay well You know what? Go look over there! You know what I did? I went over and looked at the filings understand how they arrived at this is what we do on this show Okay, highlighting. The State Department's initial attempt to identify responsive records indicated that if unaltered those requests would generate approximately 1.5 million pages of potentially responsive records so they've done that work

1:13:40 And I'm always annoyed by the mixing up of... What was the request exactly? If it's for Hillary, she doesn't have that many documents with 1.5 million. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Now this is about they have 22,000 FOIA requests and they say just too much at this particular FOIA request which i think was from International Business Times or maybe Judicial Watch Now, here's the problem I have and it's continuously mixed up and then the lawyers do it here. So you know when Hillary Clinton says, ''I've released 50 thousand pages,'' that could be ten emails. Now, I don't know how long your emails are... It just seems verbose Yeah so I'm going to say when they make an attempt to identify responsive records —and they're doing that from Clinton, from Cheryl Mills, from Uma Abedin, from her staff, from her cronies there—you know kind of the inner core

1:14:32 It generated 1.5 million pages, so that could be... I don't believe that! Well we can dispute what they're... this is a court file and we can't dispute it. Uh it would take the State Department decades, it says to process review redact and if necessary refer to other agencies for their review uh then here comes more explanation given the department's current FOIA workload and the complexity of these documents it can process about 500 pages a month That seems pretty low. We got one person doing this? 500 pages a month?!

1:15:08 That's like 10 pages a day? Yeah. Well, no it's more like 12 to 20 but let's say 15... And it's pages! Are these full pages or just one page with a little bit on it? It sounds like one person you're right yeah well here it is that's eight hours work it would take 500 pages a month meaning it would take approximately 16 and two-thirds years to complete the review of the Mills documents 33 and 1 third year To finish the review of this... They get the one third in there as though it's a significant number. Well, they're just dividing the amount of documents by 500 and then divided by 12

1:15:49 or multiple, yeah divided by 12. So 33 and a third years to finish the review of the Sullivan documents and 25 years to wrap up the review of the Kennedy documents. Or 75 years in total without considering requests for the Poglio records so you know... And actually they have uh they refer back to an earlier case FOIA, and here's... so they say because of this, FOIA was enacted to shed light on the activities of the federal government but it was not intended to quote reduce government agencies to full-time investigators on behalf of requesters. And they have a citation for that. Concluding that the agent... yeah concluding that agency need not comply with a FOIA request that would quote require the agency to locate review redact and arrange for inspection a vast quantity of material end quote

1:16:39 Accordingly, the DC Circuit has held that agencies need not comply with FOIA search requests... ...that would impose an unreasonable burden on the agency. With a citation. The RNC's request for years worth of emails from Mills, Sullivan Kennedy and Pagliano would impose just such an impermissible burden." And then the example holding that the CIA did not have to search for records on microfilm because the search would take approximately 3,675 hours at a cost of $147,000. They didn't have to do that thus the State Department need not quote honor these requests so they're it's they're not even saying they got it they're gonna take 75 years to do it they're not gonna do it! They are just NOT going to do it unbelievable yeah well did you say so?

1:17:24 That's right, all classified. Why don't they just say so? We're not going to do it, it's too much, this is ridiculous we can't do this...we have actually a job to do, really this is outrageous. It's like asking us for every document with the word THE in it! Would you like to play your two Hillary clips and then we'll take a break or what do you want? No, let's take a break and I go back to Hillary because they do have a point to make. With that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C with a c stands for cultural anthropologist Dvorak

Value for Value, Edward Snowden and the Ecuadorian Plane

Executive Producer Shana Alaka shares an exchange with Edward Snowden on Twitter regarding the 2013 grounding of Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane. While Snowden propagated a report that France took the blame, Alaka provided audio links of tower communications to refute the "forcing down" narrative. The hosts discuss why Snowden might continue to support certain narratives while living in Russia.

I started re-listening to No Agenda the next day and it had been three years and i've never missed a show since! I have planned on making you donation anyway... ...to mark my three year anniversary but when Ed Snowden tweeted an old news clip propagating the lie about the forcing down of the Ecuadorian president's airplane, I could not let this stand as I knew the truth

1:19:43 that you both exposed me to years ago. I replied to Snowden with links of the actual Tower-to-Plain communication, which is what we would be on our show. To my shock, Snowden replied with a bogus BBC report about France taking the blame and that my audio link was somehow suspect." I saw this. Adam, this is a good trade note. I saw this exchange! He answered him. Snowden answered him and pointed to that article and he said well you know France said that they wouldn't let them into the airspace... Well sure maybe they said that but there was no forcing down of the plane. There was no forcing down on the plane. Lie! And why does Snowden propagate the lie? What does he have to lose other than

1:20:26 Working for somebody else. Yep, Adam quickly found the BBC article not to support this argument at all Thank you Adam for your tweets I felt oh so you got thank you for your tweets instead of thank you for your cards Thank if your tweet thank for your tweets I felt too many things were strangely converging it all came back to no agenda show I had to make this donation She's took three years I was able to hit my wife Barra in the mouth and she now makes me wait So we can listen together Did you see your photo?

CHAPTER 23 / 45 Discussion

Presidential Pardons, Hillary Clinton and the Brazil Coup

A discussion on the power of presidential pardons suggests that Hillary Clinton’s potential vice-presidential pick would be expected to pardon her family if she were indicted. This is linked to the political situation in Brazil, where President Dilma Rousseff was ousted in what some call a coup to obstruct corruption investigations. The hosts suggest Clinton is following a similar "checklist" to secure power despite legal vulnerabilities.

presidential pardons· mark rich· brazil· dilma rousseff· corruption

1:28:36 Our formula is this we go out. We hit people in the mouth Hey citizens Shut up, slayy! Amen fist bump right all right Hillary clips alright now I got a couple of Hillary clips to finish off with because ever thesis here. I think Hilary may be running Just to bring in a vice president. Yeah, to take over after she gets indicted or perhaps quits Or who knows bill dies and but the deal is going to be you've got to pardon the family if anything happens Especially yeah, yeah Chelsea explain this to people people have to understand how America has a very interesting little thing that presidents can do when they're done with their

1:29:34 with their term when they leave. I guess, can they do it? There's no time limit. They can pardon someone whenever they want. Yeah! Whatever they feel like and Bill did some very... Oh he pardoned Mark Rich who was a... And Mark Rich, huge criminal. He's dead now. Scammer. He's dead. This is what's going to happen because we've seen it before When Richard Nixon was having issues and had to quit presidency Gerald Ford immediately pardoned him That was a reason Gerald Ford probably didn't get elected as president when he ran against, I believe Jimmy Carter. So let's first...I want to listen to one thing. I have this one clip here and find it in this list. This is Democracy Now! visiting South Dakota

1:30:24 and to talk with a couple supporters. And I want to, these are two supporters of Hillary and I want you to listen to what they have to say and what their motivation is for voting for Hillary it's unbelievable South Dakota Democracy Now! was there speaking with some of her supporters. I'm Jen from Manhattan and i'm here because after many months so painful back-and-forth just proud to be able come out and say go Hillary. So I just can't wait for her too to put Trump in his place and to say things that I think not just women, but a lot of people have wanted to say. To stand up for social justice in this country for women, for everything. Hi my name is Frances and I am here to support Hillary Clinton number one because she's the most qualified to hold the position from day one And number two because she- In my lifetime I would love to see a female put these 44 men down

1:31:20 Put these 44 men down. Fuck them, put them down! Shoot them evil man. Put that 44 men down. Bad man. Let's just take over the place These women are... bad man Horrible. They're horrible people Yes To say that is a horrible thing I don't know if they're horrible people or they're saying horrible things and it's incredibly wrong It's horribly horrible Alright, what's next? Okay so we have... this is the clip. Let's see if I can... Brazil Buzzfeed story South Dakota Hillary VP on CBS Yeah there it is now I wanted to preface this one I didn't get all the clips that I wanted to of this but she was asked about the VP There are two things going on There are 2 streams going on

CHAPTER 24 / 45 Discussion

Elizabeth Warren, Potential Double Female Ticket

Speculation rises regarding Elizabeth Warren as a potential vice-presidential running mate for Hillary Clinton to capture the "Bernie Sanders wing" of the party. The hosts debate whether a double female ticket would appeal to millennial women who currently support Sanders. One host admits to voting for Sanders in the primary as an independent to "balance the show" against perceptions of being pro-Trump.

elizabeth warren· vice president· bernie sanders· millennials· double female ticket

1:32:06 One is a vague question. I heard it over and over and over again, and it was only this morning that I looked it up to make sure that they were talking about Elizabeth Warren. They keep asking Hillary would you pick for vice president as senator? knowing that the Republican governor of, if they had a Republican governor for that state knowing that they, the Republican governor would immediately appoint a Republican for that Senate seat. Right? So this is the conundrum in the way I've understood it. If she says hey, I want Elizabeth Warren to be my VP then Elizabeth Warren risks having no VP seat and no Senate seat and we risk another Senate seat for the Republicans

1:32:50 Right. I think it's an off cycle for Warren though, I don't think she has to quit her seat to run so... I'm not sure of the specifics. But they are talking about Elizabeth Warren and that's what keeps coming up in a conversation but the thing i've heard most and this is at least of this version of Hillary The best version, which I did not clip. Hillary says... Well let's play this clip first. ...thinking hard about this so i'm going to be looking first and foremost as to who I believe could fulfill the responsibilities of being president and commander in chief. Which includes pardoning me and the whole family! The best clip that I heard was from she throws in the word from day one

1:33:36 Hmm from day one. I want someone who can be the president and fulfill the responsibilities as though she's out already I've never heard anybody say it so adamantly from day one. I once I'm gonna pick yours Wow good job immediately I give you a point good good one So I think this is what's going on here and so, and Hillary. And in fact when you listen to this clip about Brazil which is a very short but it's good...Brazil had a coup and nobody's talking about as a coup because it causes all kinds of State Department issues that's what it was yeah? But listen to this! This is the latest going on anyway soon as I heard this is oh this is what Hillary's up too. This is the Brazil weirdness

1:34:22 In Brazil, the chief prosecutor has asked the Supreme Court to authorize the arrest of the presidents of the Senate and ruling PMDB party and former president José Sarney for allegedly trying to obstruct police investigations. The officials are among the most powerful in Brazil if they're arrested it could rock the newly installed administration over the interim President Michel Temer He took over after lawmakers voted to suspend President Dilma Rousseff in what many consider a coup by her right-wing opponents. Leaked transcripts show at least one official plotted to oust Rousseff in order to end the corruption investigation that was targeting him.

1:35:08 So we have a corruption investigation targeting Hillary, and so the best thing to do is get in. There's a number of factors going on here. One she becomes the first... it's actually negative but she becomes the first American female president. And that's the checklist. And the first nominee to be indicted Well, but there's the checklist. So she's got that job but now if she gets indicted...this is all speculation. She gets kicked out and the next person has to come in. What are you gonna do? You have to have a woman or it's going be like this what she was president for one day?! This is terrible! And so bring in Elizabeth Warren and she's the president and now you're happy. Yeah I think that we discussed this couple shows ago that Hillary has no female power anymore

1:35:59 I mean, yeah you're hearing some of this right now but a lot of people just don't like her. And women don't like her but they're going to hold their nose and vote for Hillary that's the whole thing. Hold my nose and vote for Hillary! So, they need a fuller female ticket to really get those women on board. Because Hillary does have some women issues as well which I'm sure Trump will be bringing up. And Elizabeth Warren represents the Bernie Sanders wing of thought. Yes yes yes... So she brings all the Bernie people because that's a big... The Bernie people? My daughter! Yeah how are they feeling? A millennial class woman How is she feeling? Have you talked to her? How is she feeling? Is she bummed? She's not happy. Or she believes Bernie can still pull it off. I actually, to be honest with you, I would tell you who I voted for. I voted for Bernie!

1:36:43 I'm an independent and i don't, not a registered Republican or Democrat. They allow me to take one of three ballots And so I took the Democrat ballot they wouldn't let me take the Republican ballot I wouldn't want it. I wanted to vote for Bernie So like you said voted for Bernie and I voted for Bernie a communist! And so that is also balances the show people think we're couple Trump supporters I voted for Bernie Yeah good work yeah I am voting for Vermin Supreme at this point Now, she said that if Bernie doesn't win she's gonna vote for Trump. And I think there is a lot of... Wow! This is the debate right now? Yeah. This is the debate people are like, ah, that'll never happen. That's interesting John.

1:37:25 Yeah, that's very interesting. Right at the dining room table I'm gonna talk to Tina's daughter She gives me a lot of good dirt I wonder if they're freaking out or maybe there are a lot of people who are going to say we're gonna go Well none of that will happen They won't vote for Trump if Elizabeth Warren is the vice presidential candidate No, no I guarantee it! I agree Where used to be a detriment I think they can do it I think the double female ticket Is the way to go I think they have a best shot with that even though it's like ratted and you know what? Debbie Wasserman types are gonna try to talk her out of it. Oh, yeah Well if if it's Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton, I'm voting for that ticket. I need to see that shit crash-and-burn I'm all over it. I'm supporting that I'll be all over

Scott Adams, Endorsement of Hillary Clinton for Safety

"Dilbert" creator Scott Adams announced a "sincere" endorsement of Hillary Clinton, claiming he fears for his personal safety from her supporters if he were seen as pro-Trump. Meanwhile, actress Susan Sarandon has faced intense backlash on Twitter for refusing to support Clinton, with critics labeling her "dangerous." The hosts discuss the increasingly hostile environment for public figures who deviate from the pro-Clinton narrative.

1:38:14 Man, well it's gonna be interesting people should appreciate this moment in history because this is a just crazy. It's fantastic I think we've lost a lot of listeners, because we get a bunch of... Oh no. We have! You know what? We've lost a lot of people because they think that- Because we're deconstructing the news and the way it's been played out. We show the corruption of the news media and for people who are all in or Hillary bots They don't like hearing any of what we have to say. I think we've lost anonymous lesbian Have you read the most recent post from Scott Adams The Dilbert cartoonist?

1:38:52 Adams is funny. So here's what he said, I've decided to come off the sidelines and by the way he is the one that has said Trump is going to win and even ends his blog post when we did this entirety again he says Trump will win by a landslide but he says I've decided to come off the sidelines and endorse a candidate for president of United States I'll start by reminding readers that my politics don't align with any of the candidates. My interest in the race has been limited to Trump's extraordinary persuasion skills, but lately Hillary Clinton has moved into the persuasion game and away from boring facts and policies with great success." And he goes on to talk about that and then he says...

1:39:32 If Clinton successfully pairs Trump with Hitler in your mind, as she is doing and loses anyway about a quarter of the country will think it's morally justified. Blah blah blah blah blah So Scott Adams says I've decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president for my personal safety Trump supporters don't have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I'll be safe from that crowd. But Clinton supporters have convinced me and I am being 100% serious that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump So I'm taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president Sad day! Sad day He's sincere too I'm sure he was threatened

1:40:17 I'm sure he was. Yeah, very very sad. Now that to be nice threatened they probably threaten the king features does not or united universal one of the groups that he's syndicated with they probably three get this guy doing threatening advertisers thread the publications all the stuff that happens to me exactly with the media you're threatened threat and threaten And that crowd is dangerous. That's what the big turnaround, there was just a shocker when Susan Sarandon decided not to support Hillary because she considers her dangerous and you know that Susan Sarandon who I've always considered radical Bernie Mendelsohn. She's a big Bernie fan. I like her! I think she's pretty funny

1:40:59 She will she is a very radical woman and the fact that she's not supporting Hillary's like I just they're gonna go after her Oh, yeah. I've already seen it on the Twitter this ah she's an idiot Goodbye career woman everybody loved her goodbye. She was an idiot. She's a cunt Wow women are saying that on Twitter well, I don't know if its women see you next Tuesday all my women wow See you next Tuesday's is heavy Well, this kind of folds into the next topic. I've noticed a trend and Before you go to the next time I just want to remind people this is because we have deconstructed the news media being a pro-Hillary operation and Shown that Trump is being misrepresented Which he is in many cases with lies We have lost listenership. We've lost income. We've lost income and

Social Media Sickness, Echo Chambers and Outrage

The segment critiques the "sickness" of engaging in endless political arguments on Facebook and Twitter, which the hosts claim has zero real-world influence. They note that even "No Agenda" fans have fallen into this trap, leading to lost listenership and income for the show. The hosts reiterate that their goal is to deconstruct media manipulation, not to promote specific candidates like Donald Trump.

1:45:45 You know, this all... but the conversation stays at who are these parents? How can they...? But what kind of privilege are they being raised with? This is all about the parents and we're missing alcohol underage drinking in schools. We're missing a lot of things in this story but somehow when children do shitty things parents are now being blamed and I'm pretty sure we're going to see parents getting fined and we just need a third thing to happen it'll be Because everyone's annoyed with the Millennials. Not all Millennials, we love you who are listening and are healthy and safe. We had a precursor to this one, a trial balloon was the kid, the privileged kid who

1:46:31 Yes, he escaped to Mexico with the help of his mom. After he killed somebody with a vehicular... you know, ran some people over I think two or three people died So maybe that is the first of the trifecta Maybe that's really where it started That was the initial salvo And they nicknamed him He was the privileged something-I can't remember what the nickname is Somebody will know in the chat room There was a nickname for him and it said- Douchebag? No, it was something about his... he had some sort of flu. It was like affluenza. Affluent? Affluenza! He had the affluenza and his mom was protecting him and he was a douchebag. He was just a complete one. And that didn't get the legs at this one. This is beauty.

1:47:21 everywhere. And the sad thing that I'm seeing... And by the way, stop! There are rapes going on as we speak that are probably more horrible horrific and probably need some attention. They get no attention, we're gonna focus on this." And that's mainly because there are thousands of rape kits that are still waiting to be analyzed for DNA There is a lot of stuff... Oh yeah let's don't bitch about that! Of course not it's only the parents and you know just its really incredible to see this taking place but sad to me, sad Is I'm seeing very good friends of mine going, entering into discussion and so alright. We have discussion on Facebag about Hillary Trump who gives a shit? You're talking in an echo chamber of ones and zeros and bytes nothing is going to change you can change your icon you can yell at everybody you just in a little space maybe 50 people see what you're writing you are making yourself more ill than you already are by engaging...engaging

1:48:24 in conversations, in a bit bucket that is unimportant. You can throw it away I hope you all feel better when you do it but it will make absolutely zero... It has zero influence Zero! But yet people dive in and pissed off and angry and yelling and what? In context of everything And I just see the sickness popping up Good friends are all angry But if you really look at it, what is really happening? You're all yelling at each other on facebag. It's only going to make you...it's gonna raise your heart rate. I mean none of this! And now it's about parents. Oh shitty parent, shitty parents. This guy he didn't do this. Oh my god people go into the bar and talk about it. Talk with someone in real life

1:49:16 Go out on the street and protest. I don't know what you're doing, but stop with the endless threads on Faceback! It's pathetic You are really truly ill And i see it in the No Agenda podcast fans group too Talking about this One of things that ShoTries to do is get people away from that behavior We failed, really failed We have totally failed on this... yeah we've failed with a Trump analysis What we're doing is exposing the truth. Yeah We're exposing the reality. But no, I got some guy on Twitter yelling at me, I'm not going to give up on the show if you guys keep promoting Trump! We're not promoting Trump and so then go check his feeds out he's just a hater holy crap that's where i get a lot of these pictures once they got off my little bubble group and started floating over to the other side is what it was in the newsletter I said holy crap look at this stuff

1:50:16 There's and that's only the beginning of it. I mean, I could have put thousands of these Photoshop jobs, Trump is Hitler and books about it. But I come back to this disturbing trend of... It's the parents! We have to blame something we know that you blame the government it doesn't work anymore no one can blame the government for everything just doesn't work people don't feel satisfied You know kids well that's too loaded but parents yeah these are the assholes And there may be a lot of parents who are no good, but it's disturbing that that's where these conversations keep going towards. It is the parents...bad parents, bad parents, eh, bad parents." Well, there's probably a reason for that.

Brooklyn Pool, Gender Discrimination and Hasidic Customs

The New York City Parks Department is reviewing its policy of allowing women-only swimming hours at a Brooklyn pool after the Commission on Human Rights labeled it discriminatory against men. The Hasidic community in Williamsburg argues the hours are necessary for religious modesty. The hosts compare this to "Ladies' Nights" at bars, which they have long argued are a form of accepted gender discrimination.

brooklyn· hasidic community· gender discrimination· nyclu· public pools

1:51:03 There's something up, there was something that we're trying to separate. I would say... From a theory? Well when it comes to the face bag i would say the majority of the audience probably has children in this age range. Young kids aren't on Facebook anymore they're on Instagram they're on Snapchat and then on Facebook. Facebook is nothing, its loser bill It's for old people like cable television and probably have kids. So I don't know, it's a fear thing and be careful... Beware of this because it will be used against you when they catch on that this is something that can manipulate you look out! In the social justice vein there was something very funny though that happened in

1:51:48 in Brooklyn, this is when you get all these politically correct moves and what you can and can't do. You run into trouble like this. This is totally insane! Isaac Abraham is a leader in the Hasidic community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn He is disgusted that the city would think of canceling women only swimming hours at the Metropolitan Recreation Center's indoor pool In keeping with their religion, Hasidic men and women are prohibited from swimming together. As a result the City Parks Department allows women only swimming at the pool for two hours a day four days a week not just for Hasidic women but for all women. The parks department says it was told by the city commission on human rights that its female

1:52:29 Female only hours are discriminatory against men. Why don't they go after the bars and clubs that give women free drinks, entries to clubs for free? And they discriminate against men! Had transgender people requested this... Even the ladies room would have been removed. Donna Lieberman is executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union She says the Parks Department's policy was well-intentioned, but she says it is gender discrimination We're dealing with a city pool This is a parks department facility and the parks department cannot

1:53:08 discriminate against people based on gender in terms of access to the pool. Now we also reached out to the City Parks Department it released a statement saying quote separate gender swimming hours remain in effect at Metropolitan Pool while the department reviews its policy. You really need to see that woman from the parks department he has just this smirk on her face Like, well you know it's a public pool. By the way I had bitched about this in a column I wrote when i was doing op-eds for the San Francisco Examiner in the 1980s My complaint was that discrimination and bull crap That there are these ladies nights at these bars In San Francisco where women get to come in free They don't have to pay if they're covered charge They get free drinks and all of the rest is bull crap There's no reason they should get free drinks when men can't

University Activism, Safe Spaces and Microaggressions

A list of "crazy demands" from college students in 2016 includes Yale activists wanting to purge the English department of "white male poets" and Mizzou students requesting "spaces of healing" that exclude white allies. Other examples include Oberlin students complaining about the quality of General Tso's chicken and Western Washington University students wanting to replace the word "history" with "HX-tory" to remove patriarchal implications.

yale· mizzou· oberlin· microaggressions· safe spaces

1:54:03 Or, we can all... I know why they do it because they're trying to get some women to show up. But still! Or we can all just you know get along and say whatever fine i'll live with this That's a possibility but you know The Daily Beast put together a list of the craziest demands from college kids in 2016? I think I need to read a few of these too It's already funny You know this show writes itself honestly I think i should go down this list for a good chuckle. These are real demands from real students at real universities, Yale. Yale activists who told the faculty we have spoken, we are speaking pay attention had a very specific demand

1:54:46 They wanted to purge the English department of its colonialist course offerings by restructuring classes found on white male poets. It is unacceptable that a Yale student considering studying English literature might read only white male authors, wrote the student activists in their petition. The major English poet sequences creates a culture that is especially hostile to students of color Oh man. Yale does not offer courses that feature more diverse readings, students have to complete the main sequence on white male authors. They want diversity in their English poetry. It's sad that there was kind of a bunch of white guys back then I don't know if where there's a lot of poets of color from you know the basics. Well you can dig them up yeah

1:55:44 Here we go. This is University of Arizona, the Marginalized Students, a coalition of self-described oppressed students including the Latino Student Association, Black Student Association Asian Student Association LGBT Student Association Native American Student Association and The Women's Center want safe spaces for each unique identity group The black students want a residence hall all to themselves. New York University, same thing student activists want one floor of the campus building turned over to black students.

1:56:27 So when we talked about it, we had a great guy. There's the rabbi on the couple show last show or... The slow march to segregation this is what it results in yeah so they want so New York University one floor of the campus building turned over to black students another floor to LGBT students Yeah how are you going to prove that? How do you know? Let's see Mizzou Of course, University of Missouri black student activists set up spaces of healing. And they specifically asked white students even those who self-identified as allies to leave because they were in their space of healing. Oh man! Oberlin College Asian students complained that the General Tso's chicken wasn't up to their standards a delicious irony of course

1:57:21 It wasn't up to their standards. How about... this is also Oberlin College, some students don't want white people practicing yoga that would be cultural appropriation others think tequila and sombreros on Cinco de Mayo are offensive and still others think Hindu chanting should be reserved for Hindus And then we have Bonita Tindle that's San Francisco University? No no it's a student at San Francisco University That's the one I still think might have been fake. She attacked a white kid because she objected to his dreadlocks saying that's my culture, you're appropriating my culture. Then we have a whole bunch of problems with microaggression students at Western Washington University want the administration to create a 15-person student monitor committee to monitor quote racist anti-black transphobic

1:58:17 Cissexist, new one John. Cissexist. I like that one! I'm gonna write it down too. Cissexist. Double S. Cissexist. Six-sexist. So... cissexist misogynistic wait ableist homophobic. Oh ablism dad. Homophobic Islamophobic and otherwise oppressive behavior on campus no one would be safe of course not um the tenured faculty members accused of microaggressions would be subject to a formal investigation. Example of what qualifies as microaggression in the eyes of these students, they spelled the word history with an X! As in H-X-tory because the actual word is too patriarchal you see? His story. So it has to be H-X story.

1:59:09 We have to change it. Yeah, that's a good show title HX yeah Hextory How do you spell it? H X T O R Y? H S S H what? H X STORY Oh H X... Why wouldn't just be H X Tory I think it should be Hextory Just put an E in there I like HX story, Baron. H X S story. Well you... Because that still implies his! It doesn't imply hers! You have male privilege who are you? You don't know what it's like?! I am putting myself in the place of a woman

1:59:51 It still has HXS, the S. The S is from his... it should be HER story and HX better represents that neutrality I agree John Hopkins University, fine institution in New York. Administrators do not count first semester's freshmen grades at John Hopkins. Heaven forbid! These students receive grades but they aren't included on their transcript. The university is phasing out this practice however but given concerns that it discourages new students from studying as hard as they should student activists are utterly opposed to the new policy One student accused the administration of worsening her anxiety. Here we go, quote...

2:00:51 Oberlin, 1300 Oberlin students signed a petition calling on the college to make C the lowest possible grade so no student would be deemed below average. Wow yeah well this is what happens when you jack up the tuitions It's really good when they got a loan. They're paupers that are paying too much money and they can make these demands If the schools were free like Bernie wanted, which had been that case in the past especially to state schools They wouldn't be able to make so many demands Unbelievable Oh this was kind of funny This is something I've only seen happen in the UK Gitmo Nation East it now happening in New York Brooklyn City employees

Trash Inspections, US-China Economic Dialogue

In Brooklyn, city employees are reportedly opening residential trash bags to search for recyclables and issue fines, a practice also noted in Berkeley. Meanwhile, US and Chinese officials concluded an economic dialogue in Beijing where China promised to rein in steel production. The hosts note that significant shifts in international investment rules are being ignored by the media in favor of sensationalist local stories.

recycling fines· brooklyn· china· steel production· investment

2:01:45 are going around opening up people's trash bags they put out on the street in the morning to see if there is any recyclable in there. Yeah, this happens in Berkeley. And yeah and if you have some recyclables in there and you put it in regular trash you get fined but their actually going bag by bag and opening it up! Yeah this happens in Berkeley This is insane In Berkeley, they're very conscientious about keeping those recyclables out of the regular garbage. So this one citizen and I'll play it until you guess it he's filming them doing this and he's freaking out tell me who he sounds like famous television...I'll just say television character.

2:02:37 Officer, could you tell me why you're taking out garbage from people's houses in order to give tickets? Could you tell me why officer are you giving our tickets? Now you took out garbage from residents house where I have a few witnesses behind you that you took out Garbage in order to give someone says do you know who it sounds like yet. No, no, how you dare Do something like that. I think Come on just comic this is the comic dog. Oh Sounds like him a little bit yeah to poop on Well there was all this bullcrap that we're talking about going on it was all reported over reported and

2:03:33 reported poorly and all everything in between there's a bunch of unreported stuff that was actually a little more important going on let's listen to a couple of these clips okay what you got about this one unreported China meetings speaking at talks US and Chinese officials have wrapped up their annual strategic and economic dialogue in Beijing after two days of talks both sides agreed to end disagree on significant issues. But they did manage to find some common ground, though China promised to rein in its steel production that's flooding global markets and it's hoped that could improve the business climate between China and the West which has become frosty recently. I'll say

Operation Anaconda 16, NATO War Games in Poland

Poland has launched "Operation Anaconda 16," the largest military exercise since the Cold War, involving tens of thousands of NATO troops. Professor Stephen Cohen compares the current buildup on Russia's western border to the Cuban Missile Crisis, noting that Russia views these "war games" as a direct existential threat. The buildup includes anti-missile installations in Romania and Poland, which Vladimir Putin has stated are now in the "crosshairs" of Russian missiles.

nato· poland· operation anaconda· stephen cohen· russia

2:04:12 This story goes on to report that they've also allowed American investors to invest more directly into China, which is something they never allowed. And then it went into a report about how the EU has all bent out of shape because they're not getting the same kind of privileges we are and this was a long story when on and on and on. None have been reported nobody cares even though this is a lot more important than some of the crap that yeah were talking about. Let's go onto this which I think is a really bad story that no but this is very I don't hear anything except you go, these stories you can pick them up from the European news sources. This is the unreported war games going on. Poland has just launched its biggest military exercises since the Cold War. Tens of thousands of soldiers are taking part in joint maneuvers with NATO a move likely to further strain relations with Russia

2:04:58 The war games come just a month before Warsaw hosts a NATO summit at which leaders will discuss deploying further battalions to Eastern Europe in the wake of the crisis in Ukraine. Troops in action on the training area near Warsaw. The aim of Anaconda is to prepare for an emergency, to give Polish forces and troops from other NATO countries a chance to rehearse a crisis scenario on the EU's eastern frontier." And I will point out that your No Agenda show gave you the info on this Anaconda 16 to be exact several shows ago. Thank you for leading it. I have an analysis of this by our buddy

2:05:43 Professor Stephen Cohen. Ah, I haven't heard from him for a while. I'm glad you got something. Yeah, I got to...I think some dynamite analysis. He was on the John Batchelor Show so giving credit to that. So he's what are you going to hear? It is little long but oh man Cohen is so worth it the guy is so in tune with what's going on again professor of Russian studies I think his official title at New York University He says what this Anaconda, Operation Anaconda 16 is comparable to is the Cuban Missile Crisis. All of a sudden if when America had Russia arguably on our border, a little bit further away even than the borders we're talking about here, quite a bit further away everyone lost their shit!

2:06:37 It was, what? This can't be. It was a very scary time. Now NATO i.e the United States is doing exactly the same and Russia and Russians in particular are, they're a lot more worried than we are because as you point out and that gets no reporting here. No one gives a crap about that here because yeah we got to talk about emails and bullshit. Because Russia by putting the missiles in Cuba initiated that crisis In my judgment Washington and NATO have initiated this crisis now We followed it for...as its unfolded over months and weeks This very large US led

2:07:23 NATO military buildup on Russia's western borders. Oddly enough, NATO calls this its Eastern Front which is what Nazi Germany called its war against Russia." That is really creepy when you hear that isn't it? Yeah totally! It's like now we're the Nazis. And of course naturally because Russians are intensely historical people and with very little amnesia Somebody once said, I think it was Gore Vidal. We are the United States of Amnesia Do you remember that quote? I love that one! Yeah, I don't remember It's true You don't remember exactly we're the United States of Amnesia Russia is not they remember all this partly because every family lost somebody in them so the spectre of war has been raised in the minds of Russians ordinary citizens and

2:08:17 and the people who run the Kremlin. And it's been widely discussed there, and their different views But for your listeners to take not my word for it or your word for it It would be great if they had an atlas a map in front of them Yeah, this is something we—he's so no agenda this professor. Do that! Open up Google Earth or Google Maps and play along it may seem illogical to you but it's even more fun when you do it And they looked at where NATO was operating and building up on land in the air and in the sea and you will see that its a semi-arc extending from Russia's northwest

2:09:01 That would be the Baltic Sea. That would be the Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia Poland, Romania Now we learn that Finland which preserved its neutrality during the preceding 40-year war is prepared to host NATO troops and Sweden which had not been a member of NATO to join NATO So we follow that arc from Russia's northwest borders, all the way down to the western – the southwestern part and the south where we have the Ukrainian crisis. And then the Black Sea where we also have a very big American and NATO sea presence. Now these ships by the way that are in the water aren't cruise ships. These are exceedingly modern lethal floating war machines

2:09:59 Not only can they attack with missiles, but they have anti-missile capability. They are extremely sophisticated and Russia regards them as a great threat sailing around off their shores But above all Russia fears this anti-missile device that we opened installation in Romania last week, with one more to come in Poland. And here we have to be aware and remember what Putin said last week it shocked a lot of people It didn't shock me because he was reacting To his own shock that we had done this He said Romania is now on the crosshairs of our missiles and Poland will be too

2:10:44 In other words, he's saying that these are such dangerous threats to us. These anti-missile devices that if it comes to war they will be the first thing we will take out. In other words, Romania and Poland have put themselves on the front line of an East–West War. So we've moved now to a higher degree of alarm And I don't think it's alarmist. I lament it, but I think its real and the thing that stuns me but doesn't surprise me is that this is being widely, publicly discussed in Russia. In mainstream newspapers on the primetime talk shows at night and not a word has been said about it in the United States except what NATO cares to put out through reporters of The New York Times and The Washington Post. So I love listening to the professor and we need

Victoria Nuland, Persistent Rotational Military Presence

Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regarding the need to "strengthen deterrence" against Russia. She used the term "persistent rotational military presence" to describe NATO forces on the Russian border, a phrasing designed to bypass the 1997 agreement against permanent basing. The hosts argue this $3.4 billion initiative is a "money wagon" for the American military-industrial complex.

victoria nuland· nato· military-industrial complex· romania· bulgaria

2:11:45 get as many translated bits and pieces possible about what is being said about this in Russia. Of course, much shorter clip thank God we know what this is all about we have our NOA agenda thinking We always know what these drills are about And the professor agrees The people who are promoting this Are the people who were providing NATO with the ideology of the build-up You ask any spokesman of NATO or any member of the State Department They say, because Putin's threatening the Baltics. How is he threatening the Baltics? Where is he threatening the Baltics? Whether maybe this has a financial driving force that all these countries have to buy American-made weapons and this is good business for our weapon makers. And I kind of would tell you that I would put NATO's desire to violate its word to Russia

2:12:39 an agreement signed in 1997 that there would never be permanently based NATO forces on Russia's borders. They want to violate that we expanded NATO politically now. We're expanding it militarily Plus probably the profit that will accrue To the big American weapon makers because every nato country has to have weapons Consistent with nato armaments and those are mainly american armaments, and it's good business I would put that way ahead up as a causality anything That Putin has said or done or intends to do There you go money. It's all about the military industrial complex, but they play with fire well Thank you again Lindsey Graham. Thank You McCain and Hillary Clinton They're all in this together. Thank you very much that is exactly the leadin I was looking for

2:13:31 The world is Victoria Kagan Noodleman. Hey, that's right! Where is Victoria Kagan Noodleman? Nay Newland the woman who changed her name from noodlemen to new land and did not change it to Kagan when she married the famous Kagan but she was summoned uh to this senate foreign relations committee and I happen to catch this have not seen Vicky in a long time But maybe it would be good to hear her statement on how afraid we are of Russia, how evil Russia is and what we're going to do with them. Because it falls right in line with everything you just heard. As you all know for more than 20 years following the collapse of the Soviet Union... And by the way her head has gotten big she's got a big head Yeah I think she's like on steroids or something She doesn't look healthy She looks a little Eastern European, a little East Germany kind of like a shot put... Thinks she's been hanging out there a lot

2:14:25 Oh, definitely. The United States has sought to build a constructive relationship with Russia and to support that country's greater integration... It gets it will never get through this clip. ...and to support that country's greater integration into regional and global institutions Yeah, that's the dream! And the rules-based international order. The rules based international order? Hmm What is that? Is that what she said? The rules-based international order, ladies and gentlemen. Holy crap! I know...I know isn't it great New world order, the rules-based international order. Wait I want to hear it again from you. Rules based international order. Nice! Our working assumption in doing this was that a more integrated democratic secure and prosperous Russia would be a safer more predictable and willing partner for... So again it's the cologne with the Empire we tell you what to do You should be like this Russia The United States and our allies

2:15:27 By 2014, however, we had no choice but to reevaluate our assumptions following Russia's invasion of sovereign Ukrainian territory – first in Crimea and then in eastern Ukraine – which shattered any remaining illusions about this Kremlin's willingness to abide by international law or live by the rules of the institutions that Russia joined at the end of the Cold War. our approach to Russia today. Isn't it interesting that all those years nothing happened and then in 2014, all of a sudden you know Russia has done nothing then all of a sudden oh yeah then they've what did she say? Did she say they attacked since this is not true by international law invaded sorry invade she said invade they didn't invade

2:16:14 No. It was always... They were there all the time and the Crimean thing was a joke! They didn't invade, there was no invasion! All Russians voted to get out She's lying, she's lying There is NO invasion Little green men? Sure that's not an invasion You keep saying invasion, invasion, invasion especially with the Crimean thing Then people believe it Yeah yeah they invaded their assholes Invasion By the rules of the institutions that Russia joined at the end of the Cold War Our approach to Russia today, first strengthen deterrence. Okay! To counter the threat posed by Russian aggression and deter any military moves against NATO territory over the past two years the United States and our NATO allies have maintained a persistent rotational military presence This is very important what she says here The agreement we signed in 1997 is that we said we would never put a full-time ground force along the Russian border We would not move further east

2:17:04 But you hear what she says, she says we have a persistent rotating ground force. You see this is again the lawyers who run the world... Oh that's a good one! Yeah oh it's not a fixed force that's persistent and she even stumbles over the words because she knows she has to say this legally. ...have maintained a persistent rotational military presence... Yep see? Persistent rotational which is therefore Kind of not breaking the agreement. Well, I'm sorry an American citizen I'm outraged on land sea and air all along NATO's eastern edge The Baltic States Poland Romania Bulgaria nice as we look towards the NATO summit in Warsaw this coming July Allies will institutionalize a more sustained approach to deterrence Including by enhancing forward presence in the east to reduce response times to any aggression man

2:17:58 Mom, why don't you just go- Why don't you just stand up and say, hey! Come on. Come on. Come and get me. To support this commitment the president has requested 3.4 billion dollars to fund the European Reassurance Initiative Which is what? I think that's giveaways. I believe we're giving away some money and weapons, it's a giveaway! That is a giveaway to the military-industrial complex With your support these funds will be used to deploy an additional rotational armored brigade combat team to Central and Eastern Europe And for pre positioning of combat equipment as well as additional trainers and exercises in Europe Sounds like a money wagon to me Dr Carpenter will talk about this in detail

CHAPTER 33 / 45 Discussion

Minsk Agreements, Ukraine Security Assistance

Victoria Nuland is accused of lying about the Minsk agreements by falsely implying that the return of Crimea is a requirement for Russia to meet its commitments. The U.S. has committed over $600 million in "security assistance" to Ukraine, including counter-mortar radars and secure radios. A reminder is given of Nuland’s infamous "fuck the EU" leaked phone call, highlighting her role in engineering the Ukrainian government.

minsk agreements· ukraine· crimea· security assistance· victoria nuland

2:18:40 To press Moscow to bring an end to the violence in Ukraine and fully implement its commitments under the Minsk agreements, we have worked with the EU, G7 and other like-minded nations to impose successive rounds of tough economic sanctions on Russia over the past two years. And now we are working intensively with Europe to ensure that EU sanctions are rolled over at the end of this month and to support France and Germany in their lead diplomatic role to push for the full implementation of the Minsk agreements, including the withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukraine. And the return of Ukraine's sovereign border." I love that because once again she is tacking on what America wants which is so called get out of Ukraine and get out Crimea but that is not part of the Minsk agreement! That's what's so interesting

2:19:31 We're always tacking that on. You gotta do the... we're not a signatory to the Minsk agreement. Yo, you gotta sign the Minsk agreement! You gotta hold to that including Crimea which is not part of the Minsk. They made no agreement to do that so she's lying. Next resilience of partners even as we defend NATO territory were also working to reduce the vulnerabilities and increase the resilience those countries across Europe that face pressure I just thought of something. I'm gonna guess, but right at the end of her speech one of the Congress...I don't know if it's Senator or House? Senators! One of the senators will ask her about this and what she is asking for has nothing to do with the Minsk agreement and then she is going to have to explain herself You know interestingly you're wrong No Of course not Across Europe that face pressure from Moscow

2:20:22 To help Ukraine, the United States has committed over $600 million in security assistance. Security assistance? Bonanza! We've trained 1700 Ukrainian conventional forces and National Guard personnel. We've provided counter-artillery and countermortar radars over 3,000 secure radios. Nice! And bail fangs no doubt. A number of other pieces... Counter mortar ra... What's counter-mortar? I like that she says we have encrypted radios. I'm thinking Beofeng, 25 bucks on eBay And a number of other pieces of equipment to help Ukrainian troops successfully resist further advances and to save lives

2:21:02 Save lives. To continue our work across Europe and Eurasia to strengthen democratic institutions, reform economies, fight corruption... Strengthen the institutions by overthrowing them? And build the resilience of our partners we have requested a 787 million dollars in FY17 focusing on our priorities on those countries that are most vulnerable to Russian pressure Our programs and advisors focus on improving governance, squeezing out graft and fraud, strengthening justice systems, improving election standards, hardening border security and homeland defenses, and building energy independence to make countries more resilient and stronger in the face of pressure.

2:21:48 We're also deepening intelligence cooperation across Europe and Eurasia to detect and blunt Russia's covert and overt efforts to manipulate the internal politics of European countries. Wow! You know what we need for that? This, uh...we need this one. Hello, Kettle? This is the pod calling. My goodness Okay, I want to remind everybody and now have one last clip with a nice kicker on it. I want to remind everybody when this was all going down we had the intercepted phone call from Victoria Newland talking about putting together the new overthrown but the new Ukrainian government

2:22:28 and uh... was just listen to work listening to again remember if i told you this or finally called washington that when i talked to jeff feltman this morning he had a new name for the u n dot robert seri directly at this point yeah i thought that he's now gotten both sari and bond came in to agree that very could come in monday or tuesday so that would be great i think to help glue this thing and have the u n helped glue it and you know fuck the e-mail Yeah, there it is. So you just heard her talking about how she's going to strengthen our partners help our allies and what does she really say?

CHAPTER 34 / 45 Discussion

Russian Propaganda, USAID and Media Training

The State Department and USAID have requested $100 million to counter Russian propaganda, specifically targeting the influence of RT (Russia Today). Victoria Nuland described programs to train "independent" journalists and bolster "clean, honest" Russian-language programming. The hosts point out the irony of the U.S. government funding its own "Ministry of Truth" while accusing other nations of media manipulation.

rt· usaid· bbg· propaganda· ed schultz

2:23:17 What astonishes me most is that the EU is so stupid. They put up with this crap! Here's my final one, and this of course was about money... And now we move to propaganda as you know The Russians, they just put so much money into RT. You know the propaganda how can we even fight this? Well this is also part of Victoria Nuland Kagan's job. Part of Russia's campaign in Eastern Europe and the Baltics and Ukraine has been to produce disinformation. Disinformation. They're spending a lot of money on RT television and lots of other ways... She can't mention another one by the way. Lots of other ways. It's always RT

2:24:05 What other ways? To get their message out into parts of Eastern Europe. Can you talk a little bit more about what we're doing to respond to that propaganda I love me some of this propaganda now they have RT good, i got it where did they have that guy who was the guy who got fired from MSNBC he's now on RT Ed Schultz! Ed Schultz is on... hey wow guys way to go on RT do you do have the hot Russian chick that's true So when she says BBG, that is the Broadcast Board of Governors. They are the ones that control the propaganda arm of the United States and they had like the big wig guy from NBC who had to leave because they have go fix MSNBC and NBC News but when she says BBG, that's Broadcast Board of Governors Thanks Senator Well as you know this has been a line of effort we've been working on very hard with members of Congress in Senate since 2014

2:25:04 The total appropriation now, State Department USAID BBG Broadcast Board of Governors on the US side is a bad... Notice that she says USAID right? USAID is where they sit. USAID their job mainly is to fund NGOs non-governmental organizations who create riots and do other crazy things and influence press. About 100 million dollars to counter Russian propaganda That money, as you know goes for a number of things from clean honest Russian language programming that BBG is now putting out. I'm sure that'll be clean honest Russian programming that the US Ministry of Truth is putting out! Every day the expansion of Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty VOA... God look at we have Radio Free Europe, we have Radio Liberty, Radio Free- Hey, Ra- Europe? EU?

2:25:57 Shouldn't you be outraged by having Radio Free Europe, a propaganda arm broadcasting all over your continent? To about $88 million that we use in State Department and AID money to support... When she says AID that's USAID. ...a civil society independent media journalist training including outside Russia for those Russian journalists who have fled We're also doing quite a bit to bolster programming inside Russia to the extent that we can. But this pales in comparison to the $400 million at least that Russia is spending,

2:26:38 and frankly to the levels that we spent during the Cold War on these kinds of things which were over a billion dollars a year in the days of old USIA. And can you talk about the substance of what we're doing and who were engaging in working with us on the content? 30,000 feet if you'll allow me to protect those who participate in these programs. Interesting she says 30,000 feet that was exactly the altitude of MH-17 when it was brought down I believe by a Ukrainian jet air-to-air missile Just, you know usually we say 10 000 feet helicopter view. No she has 30 000 feet it's on her mind. Those who participate in these programs many of whom depend on that protection right but we conduct training programs at various locations in Europe oh really

2:27:28 Where are these symposia for journalists who've either fled or who've come out to get training and are planning to go back in? Journalist need once they learn how to be a journalist. What do you need training for what's true talking about it's called MK ultra Mockingbird, it's training so you write the right things You have to know what the rights you have to be trained It's like getting any of your checkbook out It's like when you go to the Apple Store if you're gonna work in the Apple Store You have all kinds of your weeks of training the training training how to do it right, you're not doing journalism right. We support a number of Russian language news organizations in the Baltic states and other periphery countries that are designed either to address Russian-speaking populations in those home countries and counter Russian propaganda or to beam back in we obviously support Russian language programming in Ukraine which has some impact on

2:28:25 also in Russia as well and then this good portion that goes to BBG and VOA programming which is US government free news content. And we also do quite a bit to pull together efforts of the EU, UK Baltic States Central Europe... No no listen it's last last bit just listen ...to pull together efforts of the EU, UK, Baltic States, Central Europeans through consultation and through sharing of programming etc. Oh! So our propaganda is also being shared with other European broadcasters? Nice to know

2:29:08 You didn't think that was going on? I didn't think we'd be so brazen as just to say it. Well, who else is playing... might as well because you're the only one playing a clip like this! I don't see anybody outraged because most of them are already bought off. That's the whole media and by the way this all began right at the beginning in 2014 That's when they really got all bent out of shape. And why is that? Because the Russians would not release Snowden, who went to Russia in 2013 and would not cough him up and this all began right then there's no coincidence involved. John C.

CHAPTER 35 / 45 Discussion

Moore's Law, Power Consumption and Tech Standstill

Professor Trevor Mudge of the University of Michigan explains that Moore's Law is effectively broken because doubling transistors every 18 months is no longer cost-effective. This "technological wall" is cited as the reason for the lack of revolutionary new products from companies like Apple. The industry has shifted focus toward reducing power consumption rather than increasing raw processing power, as seen in the limited capabilities of the Apple Watch.

moore's law· trevor mudge· apple watch· transistors· power consumption

2:29:59 I don't have it. John is so right, he said it all along something like that? He said it all along! So we had uh when we start off with Matthew Virgao in Ann Arbor, Michigan could be were gal with $297 and 90 cents which just Andre I don't know why he didn't put a second mono in he did this is symbolic donation but he did write a note and they sent it in. And I think he's like a 200 dollar guy so I might as well read it. This is Don't make fun of my handwriting. I've been a listener for a few years since I left the army

2:30:50 honorably. I haven't donated mostly because i'm a douchebag, but have also been stretching savings to allow me to attend my nuclear engineering studies full time. Hopefully this is the first of many donations because I was recently awarded a fellowship to attend graduate school with nice little stipends so the money blah blah blah I've also been hitting my sole S-E-O-U-L Korean girlfriend, my lab mates and professor advisor in the mouth. And they may be new listeners you guys are heroes for renouncing the corrupt drug money fueled media model and calling out all the a-holes for their lies and obvious bias

2:31:39 Just as an aside the minute we started talking about Snowden stream cut out very interesting That's funny. Keep it up! Hope to attend a meetup sometime soon, he goes on and on. Nate... So I wanted to read that and he is probably right. Sorry about the Snowden thing we'll get the stream back going as i read more names. Olaf Wolf in Munich, München Deutschland $123. Oliver... Trevor Mudge! Ah! Sir Trev! Sir Trevor Mudge. I need to talk about him for a moment

2:32:16 Okay, he and he's a professor University of Michigan in computer sciences and I had a meeting with him. I had a dinner drinks and dinner with him They were both in Austin And his other one assistant Professor Ron Okay, both no agenda listeners. Great guys really had a fun find it was after the show so I was you know, was tired but I said we got nights in Austin and we break for nights and there was one thing that and actually put all of his explanation into the show notes at 832 dot no agenda nodes calm. So saying what do you guys work? And I said well, We're mainly working on designing chips that have the lowest

2:32:57 power consumption possible. And the reason why, he said Moore's Law is broken it's done it's over with and I said well what are you talking about this that no one has mentioned this to me? He says yeah that's because in the official paper from 1965 and I have a copy of that as well in the show notes Moore's law actually is not just... The first part which everyone remembers the number transistors doubles every 18 months So this is what I didn't know, is that it had to be at the same cost. And they both said...I just didn't know this! They both said yeah we can do more and we can make it all smaller but it's going to cost a hell of a lot more money and I didn't realize that that's you know so now everyone's trying to do less power consumption because that of course helps as well. I didn't realize that and now I understand

2:33:50 why we're at a, I would say, standstill when it comes to technological development. You know we don't have great new Apple products that are blowing us away and i think the VR industry is probably pushing the edge of or the so-called VR industry is probably pushing the edge... It may not be possible all this grandiose stuff that we've been talking about just might not happen because We really are at a wall with this stuff Yeah, it could be reflected in the tech coverage too. That's why things are all about phones Yeah, but even you take the Apple watch I mean if it doesn't it has no power You know no It says no power They just couldn't get it into the interview actually went and did the calculation on Moore's law? Backing up to the 4040 the Apple watch should be like a supercomputer Exactly but it's not No far from it. It's like my you know. It's like a Casio

David Icke, Lizard People and Bug Farms

A humorous aside explores a theory inspired by David Icke regarding "lizard people" pushing the consumption of insects. An advertisement for "Big Cricket Farms" on a job site is presented as evidence that the elite are promoting alternative protein sources to create a larger food selection for themselves. The hosts joke that the "lizard people" want a sustainable source of bugs to eat.

He's not important anyway." So I got this newspaper thing and there is a woman who looks...and I've come to this conclusion, and I'm going to go with David Icke here. Oh, oh! Lizard man lovely, lovely. I think that's the thing behind the bugs. Oh, the lizard people want to eat bugs so they want more of bigger selection so they're pushing bugs on everybody so they have bugs to eat?

2:40:39 Yeah! It's about time we figured that one out. Oh my gosh, John I'm surprised Ike didn't come up with this but he sent me this little thing it's an ad for Monster Spring Jobs dot com which i guess is owned by monster dot com there's a picture of a woman who could be a lizard and there's like a promotion for the monster you know job site but they have a big quote from her in here which I found very suspicious And the quote says, I work at a bug farm that's doing something really good providing an alternative sustainable protein source for everyone.

Miss USA 2016, Multi-Cultural Pageant Analysis

The hosts provide a critical review of the Miss USA 2016 pageant, noting a shift toward "multi-culti" finalists and a lack of traditional beauty standards. They analyze the "walk" of the contestants, describing a specific swaying motion used to create the illusion of a waist. The production is criticized for having contestants shout their introductions over loud DJ music, which the hosts attribute to poor television production.

miss usa· las vegas· multi-culturalism· miss missouri· pageant walk

2:41:24 Wow, well that makes nothing but sense the lizard people want us to something here. Hey We're late in show But you know we've had all kinds of extreme issues But it would not be today if we didn't get you into your analysis Of the Miss USA pageant which is a staple of The No Agenda Show Yes, it is. And we might as well do it I've noticed a number of things that the show has sold to this new company They're worse than... The girls are not as pretty There's a lot of thick Really? That's bad right there The girls are not pretty No, a lot of them aren't and they again picked the wrong ones but this time they went all multi-culti There was no white girl in the finals Oh well! There you go

2:42:12 And that was important. They had two black women and one Hawaiian woman who was about seven foot tall, and the women were thick. Very few had a good figure. Miss Missouri, who I thought was the winner in the whole group and she had a great figure. And they did pick her for the top 10 but then they eliminated her right quickly so... Miss Missouri- I just need to say something because there are people who are new to this program but these shows are very interesting to analyze because it's always political stuff in there. But also the fact that they exist in this world of women get gypped

2:42:51 So, when you hear us saying thick not pretty we're discussing it as television producers. Yes absolutely and this is on television so no one does these reviews anymore the people used to review these shows take a chance no because if nobody heard of Braille yeah I get so I guess The first thing that happened was that you looking at the...I noticed something interesting which is the way they walk There's been a... because the women were thick, they had to make them look like they had a waist and many of them didn't. And so they picked up this walk there's a lot of different walks that women can have that are sexy or not sexy Miss Missouri for example had a very natural walk that was just sexy because she is very calipigious Calipigious good word what does it mean? It means he got a nice butt

2:43:37 Calipages supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. We had a good walk and there's lot of girls that you know There's different kinds of walks out there But the way that you walked at this show really epitomized was the very strange You know some walks you see when they one button goes up And then the other one I'm back and forth it's like a funny walked like a switch like switch, but like I guess I think all of them but the Walk that they were employing mostly and the women I think that we're all in the fight the final three were all doing this Was the swing? The sway the whole both buns go back at the same time. Hmm Yeah, that is it looks great It's a back-and-forth thing But if you had put a broom in their butt hole and they walk down the street they'd be sweeping this sidewalk now

2:44:19 That's the way you have to imagine this. Got it, thanks for the visual! So that was what they were employing and it was interesting to me Now, let's play the first one They had a disco... not a disco but a DJ A couple of DJ women from Australia or something playing loud music at the beginning so the women had to introduce themselves and had to shout Let's play Miss USA shouting to get an example of this That's bad production right there. Yeah, they were shouting like crazy and here's another one shouting too This is Miss California who sounded like an alcoholic I think it's because she blew out her poker. I just tased her

Deshauna Barber, Militarism in Beauty Pageants

Miss District of Columbia, Deshauna Barber, won the Miss USA title after answering a question about the Pentagon opening combat jobs to women. Barber, an active-duty Army officer, emphasized that "gender does not limit us" in the military. The hosts suggest the pageant had a "hidden agenda" to promote militarism and recruitment, noting the high-tension music that played during her final segment.

2:45:09 Now, we're going to get to the potatoes. The meat and potatoes is one of the long question thing but let's start a few things they're gonna... Let's go with The long clip that we're going to interrupt a lot and this is all the questions now they did a pretty good job of moving this along so I made it just one long clip. And so, he can go through each... Oh! So you took everyone's final question and put it into one long clip?

CHAPTER 40 / 45 Discussion

Pageant Questions, Voting Laws and Social Inequality

The pageant's interview portion featured "stupid" and "tough" questions regarding stringent voting laws and economic inequality. Miss California "choked" while trying to explain how to narrow the gap between rich and poor, while Miss Hawaii was booed for being asked who she would vote for between Clinton and Trump. The organization later clarified on Twitter that the judges did not write the controversial questions.

2:51:22 Georgia Please come join us center stage for Georgia judge number five Crystal Wow man, they just won't stop Are they all jacked up? Are they at a base or something has your question? Hello miss Georgia. How are you tonight? Let's get to it. Over the last four years, 17 states have passed stringent voting laws. Many civil rights leaders believe we are making it too difficult for people to vote. What do you think? I think it goes back to education and I think that if we need to start with the youth and teach them how important voting is...I think that if we teach them how important it is and put that in our school systems then it will be a lot easier for people

2:52:10 It's so difficult. She blew it right there, she knew she wasn't going to get anywhere. Why do women allow other women to embarrass themselves? To be embarrassed like this in your underwear! Yeah. I like the Georgia. Thank you, Georgia. Go by now. Please come join us on our stage number here we go. This is the girl just blows it. The choker? She chokes! Nice. And she's kind of a cute Hispanic girl, but she just blows it like that this is the worst by the way. Now one of the biggest challenges facing the United States is social and economic inequality

2:53:04 How do we narrow the gap really is that the biggest the biggest challenge for United States is social inequality? That's the stupid questions. How do we narrow the gap between the rich and the poor by eating them Oh my god, she's blanking. When it comes to social and economic equality I think that the rich and the poor need to stop being so segregated. I think there is a middle class... I think that the rich need to... All right, all right. I gotta give it to you for that one. That was good. All right well you gotta go the last one of course but that was fantastic! That was great yeah she just choked now the last one hey man don't be let's get along Richie Richie Rich the last girl who was Miss Hawaii who did get into the final three who is seven foot woman and she wait let me take a look at her what's her name? What's what she's miss who?

2:54:08 Hawaii. Yeah, she does sound a little too Hawaiian to be you know it's like a slightly annoying accent but She should have called them out for that she would have won I think if she would've called them out for this question told him It's none of your damn business and it's an insult to be asked this question in this venue That's what she should have said but no that's not what she says at all. There is another one with the multi-culti face Yes, totally multi culty anyway play the play. No. I'm still looking at the picture Oh my god, how tall is she? I don't know but she's towered over everybody. Five eight not that tall. Well, then she just gets her old midgets then there must have been shorty's it must have been shorties I think that the rich need to be able to Be giving and I think the poor needs work hard And I think the middle class needs to come together and find in between was that the previous one? I'm sorry. I rolled about still trying to get out of trying to get out of it now

2:55:09 Go away. Thank you so much, California! Thank you SO MUCH for making it funny! On a tough question... Hawaii please come center stage for Hawaii our last remaining finalist Her waist is the size of my thigh That's- that's what going on with her My god Laura Brown Judge number 3 has your question I can't hear over these people. Hello, okay with Hillary Clinton expected to surpass the delegate count needed to win the Democratic Party nomination my question to you is if The election were held tomorrow would you vote Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump for president? And why would you choose one over the other

2:55:57 Oh man! The audience began to boo. Yeah Now you can play her out because she beats around the bush, she doesn't answer the question at all Well she doesn't have too and so you might as well play it out and then I want you to play what happened after this It doesn't matter what gender. What we need in the United States is someone who represents those of us who don't feel like we have a voice, those of us who want our voices heard We need a president to push for what is right and push for what America really needs Thank you Okay now give her a big round of applause for not answering the question everyone kind of says that they go to commercial and when they come back

2:56:46 When they come back, apparently what had happened was during the commercial that Twitter feeds have lit up condemning the people that were asking the question especially that last woman over this voting question. Everybody was upset about it and so play Miss USA booing over questions. 2016 live from Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena oh my goodness I am still thinking about those interview questions. And by the way, uh... The-the questions were picked by Miss USA. The organization selected those questions they put them together so if you're on Twitter the judges did not come up with those questions alright just so that you know Alright? Hey don't be boring! Alright?! They were randomly picked and actually I gotta say Man Wimp

CHAPTER 41 / 45 Discussion

Women Supporting Women, Pageant Judging Rules

A new rule in the Miss USA competition allowed fellow contestants to weigh in on the final scores, which the co-host sarcastically labeled "women supporting women." During the final question, Deshauna Barber defined "confidently beautiful" through the lens of earning respect in the military regardless of appearance. The hosts mock the "phony" nature of the answers and the focus on "powerful" self-descriptions.

2:57:37 The sink fell apart right there. So they went to the final question thing, but before they did that there was another little blip that got to me. This is when we do the final question and then they preface it with this... This is the Miss USA Women Supporting Women New Rules. Oh boy! I'll ask you each the very same question and you'll have 60 seconds to respond Now remember at this point in the competition, The judging panel has gotten a lot bigger Not only are the judges and fans voting on your answers But now your fellow contestants are also weighing in Which I...

Yeah, it's women totally supporting women. Oh my gosh! This is the worst show in history You know I don't like any of these women. I'll take Tulsi Gabbard over Miss Hawaii any day These women are phony this is no good. I told you there wasn't an attractive crowd It's not about attractive they're just phony. Well there's that Phony phony baloney

2:59:08 All right, final one. You can play the end this is the final question that you can just hear the question and then you get another answers are all lame though The black army girl the one is in there wants to shoot people She wins easily And the other two lose and the one that comes in last which is miss George of the three I felt bad about but she was not presenting herself well But she was really the prettiest of the group This show should be taken off the air for actually making women fight each other. And it's also racist! Let's play, you can just hear at the beginning of the final question and then you can play as much as you want. There it is... Define confidently beautiful I know that very well, I use that on Instagram all the time But confidently beautiful Was that rigged?

2:59:58 It's about her the question is about her. Is that the idea?

That was pretty interesting Define confidently beautiful

3:02:34 To me, confidently beautiful means understanding that it's not always about your parents. It's not always about who you're around and how they feel you look where they feel you come from or your economic background. Serving in the military has taught me that being confidently beautiful is is about being able to earn respect from people regardless of what you look like. What? As a woman... Wait, wait, what did she say? Let me hear it again Being in the military, being confidently beautiful is getting respect! ...what you look like as a woman in the military

Roger Goodell, NFL Twitter Hack and Death Hoax

The NFL's verified Twitter account was hacked to falsely report the death of Commissioner Roger Goodell at age 57. While major networks like CNN ran the story on their news tickers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter was able to debunk the report after speaking with the Commissioner’s deputies. Goodell later joked about the incident, saying it was "harsh" to be killed off by his own network while he was out golfing.

So i picked it up and it was our news desk trying to confirm the news that came from the NFL's verified Twitter account that Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner had passed away at age 57 No way. I was just on the phone with one of his deputies moments ago, we were talking about the commissioner it would be practically impossible that he was gone at the same time there were other networks actually broadcasting the news on their bottom line that Roger Goodell had passed away at the age of 57 so for a 10 minute span there everybody in the Twitterverse everybody on the internet was wondering whether or not the commissioner had signed out Okay

IRS Targeting Scandal, Conservative Groups List

A federal appeals court has forced the IRS to release a list of 426 organizations that were unfairly targeted for extra scrutiny based on keywords like "Tea Party," "Patriot," and "Liberty." The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals criticized the IRS for "stonewalling" and making compliance with information requests nearly impossible for conservative groups. The hosts highlight this as a significant story of government overreach that has received minimal mainstream coverage.

irs· tea party· sixth circuit court· john koskinen· lois lerner

3:12:20 And winning! Well, they're obviously gonna win. Her education was the Knowledgee DC Mega Center What is that? I've never heard of this... Alright. Hey, I got one clip One final clip because this was on the radar for months and months and months and months We had played many clips from the consultant who came in to run the agency Koshkinin Of course i'm talking about the IRS In case you had forgotten There was an accusation that the IRS had targeted conservative groups who wanted a non-profit status. And then they lost the emails, they were deleted, some dude named Ben had maybe helped them out or something... Well guess what?

3:13:12 I can't believe this. Maybe you saw it somewhere, but i didn't. The federal appeals court has succeeded in doing what congressional republicans have long tried to do to force the IRS to produce a list of the groups that were unfairly and perhaps illegally targeted for scrutiny. The document production came in response to a class action lawsuit by NorCal Tea Party Patriots but only after a group of frustrated federal judges had lost all patients with the stonewalling of the IRS and the Justice Department lawyers representing it. In a March 22nd opinion from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Raymond Ketledge wrote this quote at every turn the IRS has resisted to plaintiffs request for information regarding the IRS's treatment of plaintiff class eventually to the open frustration of the district court

3:13:57 In its filing, the IRS released a list of 426 organizations that were singled out for extra scrutiny. 60 of the groups used the word T in their name 33 had Patriot 8 used the word Constitution in their name while 26 others had the word Liberty in theirs Quoting now from the March 22nd opinion, the circuit court judges reminded the public of just what the IRS put these groups through. 18 months passed without further word from the IRS. Then, the IRS demanded more information from NorCal In all, the IRS made 19 separate requests that ran 5 single space pages many of which had 6 or more sub-parts demanding documentation of every word and speech given to or by the organization and so much more The intended effect? To make compliance all but impossible No it sounds like an admission of guilt

3:15:01 There you have it. Another thing nobody's covering and thanks Obama that that's really frightening I'm not afraid of ISIS, iIm afraid of the IRS being used as a tool to screw you It's been done Yeah yeah but not in the Obama administration oh no most transparent ever scrub scrub scrub all right everybody hey uh is this tonight the fourth game No, no if Fourth game is Friday. Okay cuz they lost so it's 2-1 now I'm following along oh you are well It's my brother Steph you know Steph Steph Curry calm stuff He's injured or something because he's just not performing well calling my brother from another mother All right everybody thank you so much for
