About this episode

FBI Director James Comey released a public statement detailing Hillary Clinton’s extremely careless handling of classified intelligence while recommending no criminal charges be filed. The investigation confirmed that Clinton’s legal team deleted 33,000 emails using tools to prevent forensic recovery, directly contradicting her public claims. Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales criticized the announcement, arguing that Comey’s role was to present evidence rather than dictate prosecutorial standards to the Department of Justice.

Secondary developments include the release of the Chilcot Report, which found that Tony Blair committed British forces to the Iraq War based on flawed intelligence and a private promise to George W. Bush. In the United States, the Department of Justice requested a 27-month delay on releasing Teneo Holdings correspondence involving top Clinton aides, effectively shielding the records until after the 2018 midterms. Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier accused NATO of warmongering against Russia, and Boeing lobbyist Thomas Pickering was identified as a key mediator in the Iran nuclear deal. Additional reports highlight large-scale live organ harvesting in China targeting the Falun Gong and a lawsuit filed by Gretchen Carlson against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment.

Bernie Sanders repeatedly confused CNN host Wolf Blitzer with Jake Tapper during a live interview, while Donald Trump expressed a sudden bout of anophelophobia during a campaign stop. The program also examines the opening of the $100 million Ark Encounter in Kentucky and the use of stock footage by PBS to hide cloudy skies during the Fourth of July fireworks display.

Technical Difficulties and Router Reboot

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program by discussing technical delays caused by a slow router reboot. The hosts remark on the frustrations of modern technology before transitioning into the week's news cycle.

00:00 A lot of them look like they put out. It's the Comey vs. Clinton showdown! We're at the 50-yard line and broadcasting live from the Capitol Drone Star State here in FEMA Region 6 In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where it looks like we're late...I'm John C. DeVore actually Well you know sometimes you gotta clean out the cobwebs You got to reboot the router and then you can do the show

00:39 It took a long time to reboot that router. Yeah, I know...I don't know why. Does seem to take forever and has no- yeah, I dunno, it's technology man! What do we know? Eughh Well That was a nice exciting week for us. Yeah it was great week, it was fun but I did have to just remove myself from everything for a moment there because it got so deep in bull crap I had to-I just had to turn it off. And complete my sweep of the 13 colonies!

CHAPTER 02 / 48 Discussion

FBI Director James Comey, Hillary Clinton Email Investigation

FBI Director James Comey released a statement regarding the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. While Comey detailed numerous instances of "extremely careless" handling of highly classified information and refuted Clinton's public claims, he ultimately recommended that no criminal charges be filed.

james comey· hillary clinton· fbi· classified information· department of justice

01:16 Oh, you mad at- You made it? Almost. Apparently it wasn't... No wait wait! It wasn't just the weekend is the whole 4th of July week So all I need now is Delaware. I have everything else. I think Joe Biden's got a rig CQ Joe B! CQ Joe B! Nice fabric Anyway, we had the big announcement by FBI Director Comey. We probably should start there." Yeah I guess so. Do you have any overview clips? Yes I do! Well let's see... No actually I may not. In fact just reading his transcript is a lot easier to parse what he was saying

02:05 particularly the last bit about recommendations. But the media was so poor, so poor at analyzing what he actually said and so poor at understanding how the system works and what a right recommendation is versus an indictment most of what was on television was absolute effing crap Well, what they like to do because they think they're clever. Yeah and I we have...I don't- I didn't get any of these i thought there were there were cliched where they had Clinton say one thing and then Comey says another. Actually that is what I did pull clips off because it was a cliche you can call it cliched but so that was what was interesting The response from and these were mainstream I saw these on CNN John

03:00 I mean, they're on all the networks. Yeah well let me play one One of these just one I got three we don't to play them all obviously. I have one that I want to play I did not email any classified material to anyone. There is no classified material. 110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received I provided all my emails that could possibly be work-related. Several thousand work related emails that were not among the group of 30,000 emails returned by Secretary Clinton I thought using one device would be simpler She also used numerous mobile devices to send and read email There were no security breaches It is possible that hostile actors gained access

03:57 to Secretary Clinton's personal email account. It was my practice to communicate with State Department and other government officials on their dot-gov accounts. Hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account No doubt that we've done exactly what we should have done They were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. People will be able to judge for themselves We cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts Thank you! Thank you very much To be clear this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances A person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences Americans will find that

04:46 you know, interesting and I look forward to having a discussion about that. And so this was on CNN was running stuff like this? This is what I would say that when you put together as good as it gets now saying that they all seem to have left out one back and forth at only one network played. Mm hmm. And I think it was PBS. I could be wrong because they got to make a note here but But for some reason I don't understand why this particular back and forth, because every one of these could be refuted by Hillary said something and then Comey said something else. It's just as if—and I believe this kind to be true—Comey was putting together a commercial package for the Trump campaign

CHAPTER 03 / 48 Discussion

Clinton Email Deletion, Forensic Recovery Obstruction

Hillary Clinton's legal team oversaw the deletion of thousands of work-related emails that were not returned to the State Department. James Comey noted that the lawyers did not individually read the emails and used tools to clean devices in a manner that precluded complete forensic recovery by the FBI.

hillary clinton· fbi· email deletion· forensic recovery· lawyers

05:30 Yeah, I would agree. Yes that was almost discussed on a couple of shows but here's the one that i don't understand why all the back and forths...I never heard one except the one I have here. Anyone using this one? This is the Clinton deleted emails. With 100% certainty that the deleted emails, that the FBI is not going to find anything in there that's going to cause you to have to explain again? All I can tell you is that when my attorneys conducted this exhaustive process, I did not participate. I'm very sure that my attorneys did the most meticulous job they could've been done. Lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 2014 did not individually read the content

06:15 of all of her emails. It's also likely that there are other work-related emails that they did not produce to state and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all emails they did not produce the state And the lawyers then clean their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery Yeah in other words she paid specialists to delete everything real good Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying people who are in the mainstream have no idea how to even read the simplest of statements although again the response particularly from you know the media in general MSNBC CNN ABC if I just

CHAPTER 04 / 48 Discussion

Media Reaction to Comey Statement, Political Fallout

Media outlets including MSNBC and CNN analyzed the political damage of James Comey's findings, noting that his report directly disputed Hillary Clinton's year-long defense. The House Oversight Committee scheduled testimony for Comey to further explain the FBI's decision-making process to Republican lawmakers.

andrea mitchell· msnbc· cnn· house oversight committee· benghazi

07:06 They were all understanding how horrible this really was and boy, they rained on Hillary's parade of not being indicted. Just a quick couple of few examples just so we can hear this Andrea Mitchell MSNBC It is going to be very tough I mean they're going to point to the fact that there is no criminal prosecution recommended but the fact is she has been saying for more than a year now that she never sent or received anything that was classified at the time And his analysis completely disputes that, her main argument. He speaks of the carelessness of it he also spoke to the fact that it was likely hacked by hostile actors That would mean Russia China or even possibly North Korea She says the China! That wasn't good for her

07:52 China. You can't say anything about Trump now. Korea, the major internet and cyber war actors. The fact that she used her devices overseas that it was careless to use to have classified information stored not just on the private server, but the fact that she was passing information back and forth to people in the State Department. And they were using the unclassified State Department system not the classified system So the carelessness and the criticism of that carelessness at the State Department, which he said was unusual in the U.S. government is also on her watch. This is politically very damaging, not as damaging as a prosecution obviously not as legally fraught as a prosecution would be which could be disabling for a nominee presumptive nominee just weeks before the convention

08:48 And then we have, let's see this I think was CNN. This was a Clinton biographer Jonathan Allen about the report. James Comey is going to testify before this House Oversight Committee you probably watched his news conference just as i did yesterday it was um...I mean it was bad for Hillary Clinton devastating for Hillary Clinton why isn't this enough for Republicans. that she didn't break the law. He simply said that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute given what the FBI had found I think House Republicans want to hear more of that if they could hear 11 hours like the 11 hours of Benghazi testimony Hillary Clinton gave in October but have it be bad for her as opposed to the 11 hours of Benghazi testimony, they would get that from Jim Comey They'd like to hear him talk as much as possible

CHAPTER 05 / 48 Discussion

Trevor Noah, The Daily Show Volkswagen Comparison

Trevor Noah of The Daily Show compared Hillary Clinton to Volkswagen, suggesting that both marketed themselves as practical choices while hiding significant internal scandals. The hosts criticize Noah's comedic style and his perspective as a South African commenting on American politics.

trevor noah· the daily show· volkswagen· hillary clinton· south africa

09:55 And that is exactly what's happening today. By the way, why is it why all biographers of politicians royalty... Politicians and royalty mainly have fat heads? Have you ever noticed that? They're usually gay guys with fat heads I don't want to like single out or anything but just it's getting to me There's one little thing here I want to play. I was just going to play the funniest response, which is from The Daily Show, which has dropped significantly in its numbers... You actually went and watched this? This is interesting! You must have gotten it from somebody else you wouldn't watch. No, no, I tend to check-in. I do not like Trevor Noah. He doesn't have… When he says something nasty about America, it feels wrong. Get out of here South African!

10:44 That's what I'm thinking. When Jon Stewart does it, yeah when Jon Stewart does it is different but he did a good job on this one Did Hillary tell the truth about anything? I feel like the next time I hear her say I am Hillary Clinton and I approve this message The FBI director is gonna pop out and be like Her real name is Philip G McAdoo Why- Actually looked that up to see if that was something A reference I should have understood But it wasn't as far as I could tell Why Hilary why You do understand that your lies have besmirched the Clinton name, a name synonymous with integrity. You know what? That's not the point. That's not the point. The point is...

11:26 That's the point. The cornerstone of Hillary's entire campaign has been the idea that she is a responsible candidate, sound judgment, disciplined, dependable. Hillary Clinton is basically the Volkswagen of candidates. She's the efficient practical choice that's been in the game for years and now just like Volkswagen turns out there's a whole lot of sh** she's been hiding from us! Come on, Hillary! I thought that was for the Daily Show. So are we still all going to hold our nose and vote for Hillary? Well when i first saw this then I think of No Agenda listeners that know our theory about FBI being in with Clinton and the CIA being it with Hillary that this is rigged for Clinton. I think he's a weak candidate looking at it in retrospect.

CHAPTER 06 / 48 Discussion

Donald Trump, 33,000 Deleted Emails Code

Donald Trump delivered a speech in Cincinnati focusing on the 33,000 emails deleted from Hillary Clinton's server. The hosts speculate that Trump's repetitive emphasis on the number 33,000 serves as a coded message to political insiders and his base.

donald trump· cincinnati· elizabeth warren· bernie sanders· code

12:20 No, Trump. Oh! Trump's a weak candidate and if Clinton got indicted she would be out and he'd have to deal with Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders who either one of them would beat him He can beat Hillary. He has always known that he could beat Hillary I think he can beat Hillary And i think he will beat Hillary but he won't beat Bernie Sanders and he wont' beat Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth Warren drives him crazy he doesn't know what to do with her But let's, before... I want to play this clip. Now this is the clip that i think he's giving away a code to let us know, let the insiders know that this was fine and dandy okay? And this is uh straight out of his, right out of his, i think it was a Cincinnati meeting This is a Trump rant with code No problem you know! I wrote out a couple of things about

13:15 Hillary crooked, Hillary crooked. So crooked she made so many false statements is she gonna be brought before Congress or something? Is something going to happen? Is something going to happen because it's a disgrace Hillary Clinton claimed that the reason for her illegal use of a private insecure email right She claimed this was that it was more convenient to use just one device Oh The fact is the FBI director said Hillary used several different servers, even though she said it was one and numerous mobile devices to send and read emails. In other words Hillary's secret email server existed for the reason we all know to keep her emails from ever being read by the public

14:05 had nothing to do with just wanting to use one device, okay? We understand that. But that's not what she said! She said something very different under oath... She said something very different to everybody now By the way and how about the 33 thousand emails that were wiped out? 33 thousand?! How can you get thirty three thousand emails and it was wiped out He says it three times. Yeah, yeah I'm gonna give it to you right off the bat why not? I missed that That's a good one he says 33 000 and it's always been 3 30 000 and he said it three times yeah yeah well I agree and in analyzing

CHAPTER 07 / 48 Discussion

Alberto Gonzales Criticizes Comey Prosecution Recommendation

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales expressed surprise at James Comey's public statement, arguing that an FBI Director's role is to present evidence rather than declare that "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring a case. Gonzales suggested this language unfairly pressures Attorney General Loretta Lynch's final decision.

alberto gonzales· james comey· loretta lynch· department of justice· fbi

15:05 what Comey said precisely. Well, actually I played this clip... This was kind of interesting. This was former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the guy was no good didn't he do some crappy stuff? This Gonzalez guy. He's the guy they roused because he was all for torture right. He is a horrible guy! Didn't he make someone sign something on his deathbed in hospital that Gonzalez? Yeah but yeah he was a bad actor He weighed in. Attorney General, what are your reflections on Jim Comey's decision yesterday? Well you know with that it's surprising I'd have to say of course i have to give him the benefit of the doubt without actually looking at the evidence but given his public statements and what's in the record uh... I'm a little bit surprised at the outcome but you know when I'm really surprised about was this statement that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case That is not his job

15:56 His job is to do the investigation, present the evidence and maybe privately as a former prosecutor give his assessment as whether or not move forward or not. But to say that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case means that if anyone dares disagree then you're unreasonable. If Lerner Lynch decides that she wants to move forward, she's unreasonable. And if she does and I know it is unlikely that she will move forward with an indictment what does that do to Jim Comey credibility? Well he just put it all on the line. That statement was interesting. Jim Comey was my deputy attorney general when I served as attorney general so I respect his service but again you know hi job is not make an assessment of whether or no there should be a prosecution

16:38 His job is to present the evidence and he can offer a recommendation or offer his opinion, but it is up to the prosecutors. Either the U.S. Attorney, the criminal division and ultimately the attorney general of United States to decide whether not to move forward with the prosecution that is not the job for FBI director so as institutional matter someone who used run that agency I found that comment very troubling Even Gonzalez didn't really read what Comey said and I checked it ball you know 15 minutes He read his statement as submitted verbatim. I think it would be prudent for you and I just to go over the last bit about the recommendation so we can just explain, because I think Jim Comey is very smart. I think he did exactly the right thing—the right thing for the system, the right thing for him, the right thing for everybody."

CHAPTER 08 / 48 Discussion

Analysis of Comey Recommendation, Jurisprudence Standards

A detailed reading of James Comey's transcript reveals that while potential felony violations occurred, the FBI found a lack of prior cases involving similar facts that would support a conviction. The investigation concluded that without proof of intentional misconduct or disloyalty, administrative sanctions were more appropriate than criminal charges.

james comey· department of justice· felony· obstruction of justice· clinton foundation

17:27 I think he did a very, very smart thing. And anyone who's Republicans who say oh he was just straight shooter and how could not do it? He did the right thing! I say Jim Comey for president. I'm telling you So, I just want to... Do you mind if we just parse this last couple paragraphs? No. Go for it! Okay so he says fine and its better that we read because we can pull it apart He's so staccato and he reads exactly the way you read it It doesn't matter whether it's his voice or ours, I think it is easier. Finally with respect to our recommendation to the Department of Justice in our system the prosecutors make decisions about whether charges are appropriate based on evidence that FBI has helped collect this already was something that was misstated by every network in one form or another saying well he says no indictment! He's not going to prosecute...He's not a prosecutor. He only gives a recommendation

18:25 He goes on to say exactly what Gonzales said, although we don't normally make public our recommendations to the prosecutors which is what Gonzales didn't understand and here's the explanation. We frequently make recommendations and engage in productive conversations with prosecutors about what resolution may be appropriate given the evidence. In this case, given the importance of the matter I think unusual transparency is an order." So he's saying hey this is important there a lot of bullcrap going on my boss isn't idiot you know I like Trump so I just want to explain how we're doing this and why

19:01 Although there is evidence of potential violation of the statutes, which would be a felony regarding the handling of classified information. Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." And he explains immediately... So that is not saying, oh we shouldn't prosecute! No, he's going to explain why because you can't win this is his message Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. They are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person's actions and how similar situations have been handled in the past." So he went back to see if there is a reasonable chance

19:53 a conviction if there was an indictment. And he goes on to say, in looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts I think he's talking about jurisprudence is there any case like this? All the cases prosecuted involve some combination of clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct, indications of disloyalty to the United States, or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here." And I think he's correct

20:31 I think he's slightly incorrect on the obstruction of justice part. There was clearly an obstruction of justice when she had those emails deleted and played a little juggling act. No, I disagree because these emails were deleted or it cannot be proven they were deleted after the request And in his statement, he's also clear about that. So that's a time-matte timeline issue but I'm going to give him the pass because he said hey these deletions happened and switching servers purging devices and other things she just deleted so it was not necessarily at real willful intent as what Comey says To be clear this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences

21:25 To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to scrutiny or administrative sanctions but that is not what we are deciding now. And there he leaves it wide open he says which is why Paul Ryan and his other douche knuckles like whoa she shouldn't have access to classified information okay? Morons! But there is room there for censure or all kinds of stuff As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this," which would be Loretta Lynch. "...we are expressing to justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case." And with appropriate he means you can't win it, it will take forever and just...it's unwinnable!

22:06 I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation as there was throughout this investigation. What i can assure the American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly and independently no outside influence of any kind was brought to bear. I know there were many opinions expressed by people who are not part of the investigation, including people in government. But none of that mattered to us. Opinions are irrelevant and they were all informed by insight into our investigation." Interesting too because we did the investigation the right way only the facts matter, the FBI found them etc So what Comey did is he explained very clearly the disdain, the lies, the deceit

22:45 And he says, you know she's a...he could have just said she's crooked but if you want to try and prosecute you probably won't win because of the lack of jurisprudence. Now whether that's 100% true and of course there are other questions like how about the Clinton Foundation? Is that investigation still ongoing? There's lots of things that are open. And, you know and with the Clinton investigation she threw out some of her shadow calendars into the White House burn bag or the State Department burn bags a lot of things going on and he says she's horrible person but you shouldn't indict her because you probably can't win I think he made the right decision and if you look at the responses from the media this is not a positive for Clinton

CHAPTER 09 / 48 Discussion

No Agenda Thesis, FBI vs CIA Election Strategy

The hosts propose a theory that the FBI is intentionally keeping Hillary Clinton in the race to ensure a Donald Trump victory, as she is viewed as a weaker candidate than Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. They suggest the FBI may be holding more damaging information, such as Clinton Foundation evidence, for a later release.

fbi· cia· donald trump· hillary clinton· elizabeth warren

23:37 No, it's not. Although if you... That's not necessarily completely true with people like her some of her supporters like Hillary Rosen who just you know She was she used to... Was she the AskAT lady? Yeah. No RIA. RIA yes so the Recording Industry Association Yes But so I heard a lot of you know, well this is great and there's a number of congressmen. This is great for Hillary! This was the best news the campaign was really happy. I don't know how any campaign could be really happy over what Comey said but because it wasn't... It was horrible your right uh but I still think that just to use my theory that he's this is the good thing for Trump because he doesn't want

24:24 Hillary out of the campaign because she can't beat him or he has the best chance. You know, when you put it like that this was the best thing so that Trump doesn't get some competitor that he will lose against I...you know if you conspiratorially thinking yeah right on Now, and that would also be backed up by guys like Ryan who really doesn't like Trump and doesn't like him being the candidate. He'd love to see Hillary indicted so he can get her out of the way so Trump won't win. The Republicans are just as much freaked out about a Trump presidency as are the Democrats but maybe more so But I meant it when i said it Jim Comey for president

25:12 Because, you know... Okay. Whoever wins it doesn't matter this guy just like the money laundered the drug money laundering at HSBC where he was a board member during the cleanup He has the goods on everybody most powerful man in the universe James Comey right there for president Yeah, that's what the tradition is so the FBI does I would vote for him What a great if you know unless he's in a party but what a great Don't know if he was corrupted towards the Trump campaign. Do you think he was in cahoots? Because I find that hard to believe with this guy He's all about Jim Comey He has his own agenda, but I think he thinks this through Yeah

26:00 I think he was very careful to do this the way he did it. And if we assume the no agenda thesis, which is a CIA right now is pushing Hillary in every way they can and Comey and the FBI are fighting the CIA and pushing Trump in every way they can. Comey's analysis would be such that he could say the same thing to himself. This is... We've got to keep Hillary because he knows what's going on If you keep Hillary in the running, as opposed to indicting her and screwing up everything. And it's way before the convention so they can easily put in Bernie or Elizabeth Warren and walk away with a new nominee It's not that hard to do! And its been done before

26:46 But you gotta keep her in there to the last minute. And this is the last minute you bring out The Clinton Foundation or you bring out something that he already knows about, he almost... When I was listening to him there was a moment where he is saying we're not gonna indict-I would almost think he's saying this what I'm going to say. Ah, ya know? This isn't big enough! We got stuff on her that is way better than this. We'll just let this float, skate, let it go and this fine. We'll just sit here and we've got a boatload of stuff we can drop on her Yes. In the future? And you don't want to do it right now, taking her out now is the worst thing that could happen

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Department of Justice, Teneo Holdings Email Delay

Department of Justice officials filed a motion in federal court seeking a 27-month delay in producing correspondence between Hillary Clinton's top aides and Teneo Holdings. If granted, these communications involving the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton's allied firm would remain private until October 2018.

department of justice· teneo holdings· clinton foundation· federal court· bill clinton

27:25 for the Republicans. And I think that's, and I think it's- well actually for Trump mainly The timing of this will be... Well here's what's going on in the federal court Department of Justice officials filed a motion in federal court late Wednesday seeking a 27 month delay in producing correspondence between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's four top aides and officials with the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings A closely allied public relations firm that Bill Clinton helped launch If the court permits the delay, the public won't be able to read the communications until October 2018. About 22 months into her prospective first term as president." This is the court case I'm keeping my eye on! That's the big kahuna right there... The other emails Yeah that's a good one. I think a lot of this stuff is going to be busted out by hackers

28:21 Yeah, I hope so again the hackers aren't in in the kind of in them know about any the political background Of any of this and they just Grab something post it's gonna be on wiki. Oh yeah well that's all good. That's great. It was great Okay Hillary Rosen A little clip here that I think was interesting because she keeps propagating the formula trying to, I mean, I think Trump's doing a better job of lying Hillary crooked Hillary than the Democrats based on the Scott Adams material. Right? Where he thinks that Hillary has got an edge if she pushes the lunatic racist. Although they're messing that up they are... No, I agree! I don't think there is Scott Adams. No, they messed it up because they started pushing this

CHAPTER 11 / 48 Discussion

Hillary Rosen, Donald Trump Anti-Semitism Controversy

Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen discussed a controversial tweet from Donald Trump featuring a six-pointed star, which critics labeled anti-Semitic. While Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner defended him, Rosen argued the campaign is fundamentally based on social division.

hillary rosen· jared kushner· cnn· anti-semitism· twitter

29:12 anti-Semite. Wrong, wrong, wrong! You want to do he's a crazy racist? Crazy racist then you get he is an anti Semite completely distracts Trump is playing that up big time because oh well be of that's obviously dumb that's obviously silly and here we're here's the little clip about that ran on I think it was CNN or one other networks like that news network and has Hillary drop Hilary Rosen dropping a little mysterious little jab at the end. That tweet, without knowing any of the controversy I myself thought it was a sheriff's badge because i grew up looking at six star uh... sheriff badges on TV so yeah i think there is room for dispute but to be perfectly candid and in this i think this is already in the back

30:02 You know, in the rearview mirror here Jared Kushner is a terrific guy. I think we're going to go on and we are already onto the next controversy Here's why it matters going forward It is not because Donald Trump is an anti-Semite I'm not sure that he is either He has run a campaign based on division And based on separating people and encouraging other people It's an us versus them. Be against right, we're against Muslims were against immigrants were against gays and lesbians until I have to read you the latest email from a lot of second campaign go ahead go ahead what was the one when or as maybe it's coming when was the gays and lesbians thing? I don't know because i think that is when he said the gays

30:52 No. Yes! That doesn't qualify Yeah, but that's how it works This is what I'm trying to say He just said the gays It's not it There's either something coming that Hillary Rosen knows about it or its just bull crap So here's the most recent email from the Clinton campaign this comes from Robbie Mook Oh yeah you get a Robbie Mook about once a week Bill Because my name is now Bill News just broke yesterday, Donald Trump's campaign and the RNC raised 51 million dollars in June. That is up from 3 million in May. Blah blah blah. I want you to think about what that money represents. It means 51 million dollars for a guy ready to build a wall on the Mexican border. Okay? True! To a candidate ready to discriminate against Muslim people because of their religion

Clinton Campaign Fundraising, Email Marketing Tactics

The Clinton campaign, led by manager Robby Mook, reported raising $51 million in June. The hosts analyze the campaign's aggressive email solicitation tactics, noting technical oddities in how recipient names are merged and purged in their mailing lists.

31:46 Uh, no. And who wants to ban abortion then punish women who get them? Oh man really?! That is so cheap! All this stuff's cheap it's very funny But they didn't use chip-in They didn't use chip in Somebody sent me... Somebody listened to the show Yeah well someone sent me an email from one of their local politicians, congressman I think. And he said is this the same format? And I said yeah exactly the same except instead of chip in they used pitch in which is a new twist it must work John it must work otherwise... No no I've looked at those letters and there's so many mistakes they make in there in terms of classic sales letters

32:38 And I don't think it works well at all. I think they're 50 million bucks, is something to talk about but... I'm thinking they could do a lot better if they did a better job on the solicitation. I think they just throw those things together and cranking them out. Just like spam? The more you send, the worse you do? Yeah, using massive mailings. I mean, Clinton won your bill or Mimi Uh, is you get those four times a day. I don't understand how that's a lot of spam. I don't understand how i no longer receive Mimi then it's just bill I don't understand how that works. I'm fascinated by that too, i'm guessing they did a mail merge or purge or something and emerge purge And they decided that the mail name is more likely to give more money or something There's some reason for this when you first brought it up. I was fascinated by but I assume You thought I was getting doubles but i'm not

33:39 Well, is Bill at Curry or is it... It's the same. Adam at curry dot com. So they both go to Adam? But I don't get the Mimi anymore when Bill... When I started getting... They dropped a Mimi but why did they dropped a Mimi and not the Bill? Questions to ponder! Why did they drop the Mimi but not the Bill?! That's worth knowing. And I think what is that Bill came in whoever put you on the Bills thing Bill came in with later as if bill's more interested and you've been giving them zero response. And no money! So they just killed you now the joke of that is You have to sit around I can imagine these meetings a guy sits around he says well We have two things going to the same exact email address One of them seems to be responsive and one of them isn't should we take

34:30 because with email it's free. So should we take one of them off or just keep sending them tons of stuff? And I think they made a decision that they'd be overdoing it if they left both names on. Well, and it's what happened. Not sure... I can see the logic. Because most spammers, most spammers their logic is who cares! Right exactly. It doesn't cost as much does it cost more to send two no So they're making decisions that's at least something. And what else I got? I may have one more thing on here, but you get a couple lawyers arguing on PBS that was interesting because one lawyer who sounds adenoidal

CHAPTER 14 / 48 Discussion

Martha Raddatz, Media Persuasion and Air Force One

ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz accidentally added the adjective "crooked" to a Donald Trump tweet while reading it on air, despite the word not being in the original text. Additionally, questions are raised regarding the Clinton campaign's reimbursement for the use of Air Force One during joint appearances with President Obama.

martha raddatz· abc news· donald trump· air force one· hillary clinton

40:21 from Donald Trump. And they had the tweet on screen, the thing that was interesting is for once the tweet said Hillary Clinton it didn't say crooked Hillary Clinton This is now Martha Raddatz threw it in of her own volition. That's the power of persuasion. I've never seen Trump tweet Hillary Clinton without the crooked liar. I went back, I looked at the tweet that did not include any other adjective So you're...that is fantastic! And was on the screen as she's reading it. It shows so ingrained in their mind

41:16 Radishes with ABC, right? Yes. I have no illusions that she necessarily...that was embedded in her mind maybe the person who wrote down the quote for her to read had that embedded in there somewhere within the system someone had that in their minds. Someone was embedded with someone Yeah and I'm sure it wasn't put in And it sounded right Of course! It sounds exactly like he would do it That's a good catch That was fun The president went out with Hillary Clinton, of course this was all... Yeah and Air Force One. Who's paying for that by the way? The Clinton campaign does have to pay for a portion of it for sure For sure And I'm sure that will be vetted They got the money It's about 250 grand an hour They don't have to pay for all of it because the president did other presidential business So that's okay But what the president did at this speech floored me

CHAPTER 15 / 48 Discussion

President Obama, Hillary Clinton Qualification Claims

President Obama campaigned for Hillary Clinton, claiming she is the most qualified person to ever seek the presidency. The hosts dispute this assertion by comparing her resume to historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and Dwight Eisenhower, while also mocking the President's verbal stumbles during the speech.

barack obama· hillary clinton· thomas jefferson· dwight eisenhower· stuttering

42:14 You know, humility is a virtue Mr. President Hillary mentioned how we operate on the world stage Now let me just say I know the other guy talks about making America great again America's really great And just the other day somebody was writing about Wow when you look at surveys in the world turns out that what Obama came in office The world didn't think were that great But now they think We're the greatest

42:52 Wow. Wow! They think we're the strongest, they think we're the best position We were in a hole before I came into office but right now the world, the rest of the world thinks that we are pretty darn great Thanks And by the way, you can look that up. That's a fact! That's not like something I just made up and tweeted. Thanks Obama So there are actually surveys done They poll people so they know what people think Please like me, I was great Please like me, I did everything great I'm awesome, I'm great Thanks Obama I

43:47 that Hillary is the most qualified. This was first said by Van Jones, I think and then some other people said now Obama is saying this bull crap! Well, I want to point out that it was I if the president can boast, I can boast It's I who always said Hillary Clinton is uniquely qualified to run the empire Yes, I agree You have been saying this since day one But I can tell you... Sorry? Yeah play Okay but I can tell you this Hillary Clinton has been tested and there has never been any man or woman more qualified

44:28 Wait a minute, so we're talking about Hillary Thomas Jefferson doesn't match President Barack Obama? Even Obama apparently well I would agree with that Dwight Eisenhower five-star general not as qualified as Hillary. This is unbelievable. No, no it's great! My favorite clip is the one that I thought you were gonna play because the president was on prompter reading very carefully except when he wanted to do a little bit of stand up... Oops! So if you're voting for the other team It's not because of the economy You gotta be clear about that

45:28 I mean even, even the... Republicans on the other side don't really know what... Woah, that was a bad one. Oh man! I missed it. Even the Republicans on the other side don't really know what he's talking about. All he has to say is even the guys on the other side don't know what he's talking about The president is just... Oh man, he's the hero of the stutterers I'll tell you that.

CHAPTER 16 / 48 Discussion

Russia Today, Clinton Email Revelations

Russia Today reported on specific revelations from the Clinton email leaks, including a partnership between Google and Al Jazeera to intervene in Syria. Other emails detailed Israeli intelligence perspectives on President Assad and British and French interests in Libyan oil following the 2011 intervention.

russia today· google· al jazeera· syria· libya

46:28 Oh, he's pretty bad. Unbelievable! Unbelievable... So if you went to RT they actually did something we have to do everyone is probably going to have to do this even though it looks painful but this is inside a few emails from Russia today. As the world focuses on whether Clinton broke protocol by using personal email, few have taken note of what actually was in those messages here are several revelations that have come out during the scandal Here's what we found out from the Clinton emails revelation one Google and Al Jazeera partnered to intervene in Syria a 2012 email from Jared Cohen the president of Google Ideas shows the IT giant was interested in pushing people

47:20 effect from the Syrian government. Cohen also wrote his organization was partnering with Al Jazeera. Revelation 2, in this email forwarded by Hillary Clinton an Israeli intelligence official argues the fall of President Assad's regime might spark a sectarian war between Shiites and Sunnis in the Middle East The author then makes a quick remark that the conflict might benefit Israel and its Western allies. Revelation 3, the UK and France set their sights on Libyan oil after the intervention. In this email Sydney Blumenthal, a family friend of Clinton's writes that both Britain and France sought to control Libya's oil in the days of the 2011 coup

48:00 France was reported to be pressing the new Libyan authorities to reserve 35% of the oil industry for French firms. Yeah, I think we discussed these a couple months ago particularly the Blumenthal thing about Al Jazeera and Google That's kind of peculiar No, I don't What has Google got to do with anything? Have you met Eric Schmidt? Gee, I know him personally Is he an A to the whole He is no he's actually just he's very Spooky, he's very spooky. I saw him last time I ran into was at an airport and I said when I did you kick him in the shins? Oh Hey, hey, it's very well-dressed and he was flying first class. I was wondering where wasn't one of the Google planes Yeah usually usually he pilots his own gulfstream

48:55 You don't see him in an airport that much, but I saw him and I said you know the way. I see it the way your career is going you're going to end up as the head of the CIA oh Yeah, yeah would be a good one. I think so man And he said that's not gonna happen kiss if it was in the play It was pretty funny huh maybe a good one. He'd be perfect maybe NSA let's uh would be his shift to Trump for a second um If you recall, twice when he's been talking about alcohol tobacco drugs. He always says I don't have this i have other problems he always says I've other problems then I want to talk about my other problems well I know one of his other problems now okay anophelophobia he is an anaphelophobe

CHAPTER 17 / 48 Discussion

Donald Trump, Anophelophobia and Mosquitoes

A clip from a campaign event shows Donald Trump expressing a strong dislike for mosquitoes. The hosts joke about Trump having "anophelophobia" and compare his reaction to childhood phobias.

donald trump· mosquitoes· anophelophobia· phobia· daughter

49:52 Anophilia, I have no idea. This is a woman named Ann? No it's anophilophobia. Anno. Anno, A-N-O-P-H-E. He's afraid of getting old. The Democrats... Ooh there was a mosquito! I don't want mosquitoes around me! I don't like mosquitos!! I don't like those mosquitos, I never did. Okay speaking of mosquitoes Hello, Hillary. How are you doing? Now the way he said that...

He does not like mosquitoes John this is clear Yes, I agree He has an unhealthy fear of mosquitoes Yeah I'm telling ya Who knows what else he's got There's probably a few things Yep

CHAPTER 18 / 48 Discussion

Tariq Ali, Saddam Hussein and Iraq Terrorism

Commentator Tariq Ali appeared on Democracy Now and agreed with Donald Trump's assessment that while Saddam Hussein was a "bad guy," he effectively killed terrorists. Ali noted that many Iraqis feel daily life was better under Hussein's regime than under the current occupation and rise of ISIS.

tariq ali· amy goodman· democracy now· saddam hussein· iraq

50:47 Well, I was watching Democracy. We would stay on Trump for just a little longer I was watching Democracy Now and they had these really outstanding Pakistani, very famous Tariq Ali. He's very famous in the English. They also he also edits The New Left magazine there was another guy from Iraq and then there was a third guy who is professor of Mideastern Studies at Oxford who is supposed to be working at Notre Dame but the George Bush administration refused And they were talking about all this action going on and a lot of it is quite interesting. But Tariq Ali, who is a very well-known commentator in England and he's also the head of the New Left magazine... Amy decides to pull out a clip of Trump

51:41 praising supposedly everybody all Donald Trump is saying good things about Saddam he should shut up you don't know what he's doing he's horrible he likes Nazis if it wasn't Putin then it's Saddam Hussein so She plays, and she at least plays the whole clip where he says he's a bad guy. He's a bad guy is a bad guy which was I thought you know it was made up for anything else he said but and she throws it out these three guys and Tarika Lee just does not give her the answer she was looking for. Hold the country that easy, man! Terrorism is serving them! Sami Antarkali I want to play for you a clip of Donald Trump yesterday in Raleigh North Carolina talking about Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein was a bad guy right? He was a bad guy really bad guy but do you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. Right?! He did that so good they didn't read him the rights They didn't talk

52:40 They were a terrorist, it was over. Today Iraq is Harvard for terrorism! You want to be a terrorist you go to Iraq Is he a Yalie? Is Trump a Yalee? Is that why he calls out Harvard? Iraq is Harvard for terrorism! You want to be a terrorist you go- What's that? He's a Wharton. You wanna be a terrorist you go to Iraq It's like Harvard That was Donald Trump yesterday. Tara Kalei, your response? Well, I mean you know how can one deny the truth of what he's saying? I mean yesterday The BBC here showed a photograph filmed interview with a guy who'd helped to bring Saddam Hussein statue down which was a staged event Amy as you know immediately after Baghdad was occupied. That guy appeared on the BBC yesterday and said he's ashamed He did that he wants to apologize for it

53:38 He said Saddam killed members of my family, but life everyday life in Iraq Under him was much better than it is today most Iraqis even if they hated Saddam and suffered say life was much better under him then it was under the Occupation and what's going on today? Hey get back on message. Yo, is that the end yeah Well he goes on and says that Trump is free to say these things where Hillary's not. He goes on, and Amy when they cut back to her she has the most sad look on her face. She was expecting something just the opposite!

54:25 So so much for the pre-interview portion of the show then huh? Pretty sure they don't do much of that on that show. Oh man But it was I just found to be the great irony of the day when I watched this particular clip with her trying to you know Trump hate or and all she hates Hillary too, she doesn't know what to do I know we both have it. Yeah, I'm happy to play your your Bernie Jake clip first if you feel like it no No my Bernie Jake lip sucks by comparison. I'm sure cuz you said you've done some post on which one is your your I can't even see which one it is I Thought it was so muddy. I decided not to clip it oh Okay, Bernie Sanders who has lost it

CHAPTER 19 / 48 Discussion

Bernie Sanders, Wolf Blitzer Name Confusion

During a CNN interview, Bernie Sanders repeatedly addressed host Wolf Blitzer as "Jake," likely confusing him with Jake Tapper. Despite multiple corrections from Blitzer, Sanders continued to use the wrong name throughout the segment.

53:38 He said Saddam killed members of my family, but life everyday life in Iraq Under him was much better than it is today most Iraqis even if they hated Saddam and suffered say life was much better under him then it was under the Occupation and what's going on today? Hey get back on message. Yo, is that the end yeah Well he goes on and says that Trump is free to say these things where Hillary's not. He goes on, and Amy when they cut back to her she has the most sad look on her face. She was expecting something just the opposite!

I'm sure cuz you said you've done some post on which one is your your I can't even see which one it is I Thought it was so muddy. I decided not to clip it oh Okay, Bernie Sanders who has lost it

55:13 Lost it. He's lost it. They can't get enough of the Adderall for him, so they gave up. You know? It seems like he skipped a dose and he was distracted I guess by some sign in the studio. So not once, not twice, not three times and not even three times after Wolf Blitzer corrects him, he does it another two times calls him Jake which would be Jake Tapper And here's the montage. We're going to Orlando next week i'll tell you one of the issues that concerns me isn't that good enough for you? No, what's good enough for me is it's not a game Jake. This is whether or not we continue that's what I'm trying to do and when we do that Jake you're gonna have a lot of enthusiasm Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!

No, but you said Jake alive pro even after blitzer Corrected they said two more times after Blitzer told him wolf and he said Wolfie's all I'm sorry wolf wolf wolf Jake anyone on with Jake Jake Jake I mean that's troubling There's some interesting media stuff going on that needs a little discussion. I think we've talked about these feuds before between the networks, but...

CHAPTER 20 / 48 Discussion

Gretchen Carlson, Roger Ailes Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against CEO Roger Ailes, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory contract termination. The lawsuit also names Steve Doocy for creating a hostile work environment, while Ailes has denied all allegations.

gretchen carlson· roger ailes· fox news· sexual harassment· steve doocy

56:49 And I know one of them, and i don't remember this was over a year ago. It came up a couple of times which was the feud between Fox and ABC about something. One of them reported on something the other one countered with something nasty about him. This is a couple years back Yeah, maybe it was a couple years back but there seems to be if it's not going to get reignited by this report because I except for NBC which I didn't watch closely. I checked all the news outlets and only ABC and CNN ran the story about Miss America Gretchen Carlson suing Fox after she got fired. Oh

57:37 And here's the report, it is very interesting and entertaining. Next tonight a lawsuit against the head of Fox News former anchor Gretchen Carlson today suing chairman and CEO Roger Ailes accusing him of sexual harassment Here's ABC's Ryan Smith She was a former Miss America turned Fox News anchor, an 11 year veteran at the cable news giant. But tonight Gretchen Carlson suing her former boss CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment just days after her contract wasn't renewed alleging he ended her Fox News career after she rebuffed his sexual advances. The lawsuit claiming Ailes repeatedly injected sexual and or sexist comments into their conversations

58:22 Allegedly ogling her in his office and commenting on her figure saying when she complained about his severe and pervasive sexual harassment She says he told her I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship A long time ago, and then you'd be good and better And I'd be good and better also claiming ales boasted. He had slept with three former Miss Americas and but not with her. Hi everyone, welcome to The Real Story I'm Gretchen Carlson In the lawsuit Carlson also alleges her former Fox and Friends co-host Steve Doocy created a hostile work environment by regularly treating her in a sexist and condescending way. Carlson seeking unspecified damages telling ABC News she decided to sue to stand up for myself and speak out for all women

59:11 And tonight Fox News and Ailes releasing a statement calling Carlson's allegations false, and claiming her lawsuit is retaliatory based on the network's decision not to renew her contract. David? Ryan Smith tonight thanks Ryan. I'm thinking she's probably everything she says is true. I would agree that sounds like show business to me. How come we're not fucking yet, huh? That kind of thing yeah things you hear on every movie set always And you have these, and she is like I was thinking about it because I've noticed. You know, I've seen her over the years and she's been there a long time and she's like perky She's the kind of perky Miss America who's probably a goodie two-shoes that you don't want to say anything around like that because she takes all this stuff seriously Yes yes, and as far as I know worked another gig of that quality

1:00:10 And I don't know if she'd ever do it because of the nature of the workplace environment and show business, especially in some of these where you get to guide the old horn dog who's just trying to get a cheap lay. To be fair...I don't know about you but it looks like half the women no offense to anyone who likely they don't listen or show but A lot of them look like they put out. Well, I was going to say to be fair particularly on Fox News and i'm really tired of Guilfoyle. Guilfoyle who just the same you know sit there in the leg shot seat You got your beautiful long legs flowing out? Her head is made of plasticine at this point a lot of Botox going on And her mouth is just pouty and mean and ugly the whole time

CHAPTER 21 / 48 Discussion

Fox Business, Television Production and Leg Shots

The hosts discuss the visual production of Fox News and Fox Business, specifically the practice of framing female anchors to emphasize their legs. They recount historical anecdotes involving Paula Zahn and MTV's Carolyn Helbin regarding workplace dress codes and camera angles.

fox business· maria bartiromo· megyn kelly· paula zahn· mtv

1:00:58 Yeah, yeah. But if you're gonna sit in that seat if you're going to do the Fox News bit You're showing your legs! You're a prostitute I'm sorry. I was one too. I was an absolute prostitute for the media Now I have to say they've got a new girl and while doing a lot of this stuff for this particular show we are doing it's a lot of research I ran into a funny situation where they had, and it was on Fox Business. Where there...I'm now believing Fox Business is the farm team for the big network. I love Fox Business! We got the original Money Honey there Maria Bartiromo yeah yeah Fox business is working on it. Fox business has this new woman named Morgan something's gotta go. And I want to stop you. We are discussing this as television producers with history and standing

1:01:52 Yeah, this is why somebody in the chat room giving us crap. No or you know no I just want to make sure Okay Yes, I agree that's what we're doing although it's a little lighter version than we normally do yeah true So they've got this new woman Morgan and and there was just there was they have this one table They got the it's the you've got one guy facing four people And it's like, and you kind of see a one quarter shot at him and then you see the four people. Then they cut to one after the other or they put them in a box. So in this particular episode, they had this Morgan woman who is really very sharp. She was one of the up-and-coming brunette fox types who was extremely intelligent probably got a law degree so she'd be like Megan Kelly only brunette.

1:02:46 Megyn Kelly has been wearing some very odd, almost BDSM outfits lately. Have you seen some of these? I always get the sense that something's going on with her The one i'm talking about she had a leather halter Oh right! That crazy leather top she got Yeah! All she needs is an orange ball in her mouth and we're good to go I think she put the ball in your mouth. Anyway, okay let's get back to not complaining just a little i'm gonna wrap this up as quick as I can so it was apparent to me that one of the guests didn't make it to this table of four talkers and the one host

1:03:29 And so they had a talker, and then they had a big open space and they moved this Morgan woman to the end so she could do the legs. Yeah exactly! So there was a big hole in the table and then she's out by herself way on the left so she could do her legs, show off her legs. I just said this is ridiculous these guys! This is how it works I've told you before Carolyn Helbin. Fill in the hole there so doesn't look so obvious. Carolyn Helbin who was hired to be The Girl Next Door on MTV she was from Aspen She now runs the local NPR station in Aspen She was fired because she would not cover up her leg she was wearing shorts

1:04:12 And, uh... was it their hairy and their fat? And then Steve Leeds had to go out on the floor and said, you know, you gotta cover up your legs. I won't do it. Well then you have to go." That's just kind of the opposite of what we're talking about It's the same thing. I had to show off my fat legs! It's the same thing. It's the same thing. Yeah. Paula Zahn who worked for Fox for a very short time quit this network because they kept talking about her legs she has apparently really great legs. Oh and she plays the cello. She refused to show them off! Yeah, she's done. Oh wow long time done yeah? Yeah I don't think she's even working anywhere now No She hasn't been working for a long time I knew her we hung out a little bit our studios were in the same building She was kind of she was cool. I liked her I'm like I like or a lot all right before we go and thank some people uh I am only playing this as a setup to your clip

CHAPTER 22 / 48 Discussion

PBS Fireworks, Stock Footage Controversy

PBS faced criticism after using stock footage of clear skies during its Fourth of July fireworks broadcast from Washington D.C., which was actually obscured by heavy clouds. The network apologized for the deception after viewers noticed the discrepancy on social media.

pbs· fireworks· stock footage· washington dc· milli vanilli

1:05:12 Do you know what this is? Stars and Stripes. Yes, well do you know what it's from? It's from the 4th of July. Yes! The Fourth of July celebrations from WETA PBS in Washington DC Now I should play your clip my guess. Finally tonight here the fireworks fix that wasn't lost on the viewers Here's Lindsay Davis Last night's fireworks, tonight's headache as they blow up in PBS' face. This is what the event looked like during parts of the show with heavy cloud cover and obscured views and then in an instant like magic a clear spectacular show but the skies didn't part. The network aired stock footage and when viewers caught on it ignited a fireworks firestorm today

1:06:03 PBS apologized to critics who called it the Milli Vanilli of fireworks, a jab at the singing duo busted for lip syncing whose famous hit fittingly was Blame It On The Rain. Lindsay Gates ABC News New York Oh, so nice. A reference from 1986! That's great! The reference is old but the point is well made these guys will throw phony crap at you this is the mainstream media this is PBS just to clarify because it was cloudy they had the synchronized fireworks display this is a screw-it we'll just run that run the clip from last year people yep that's what they did

1:06:42 And I thought it was unbelievable. Now, wouldn't have bothered me if they had put a little thing up you know stock footage or something to let people know that this was a phony! This was a fake which... Which i believe by statute you have to do that file tape certainly for the public broadcasters has to include a caption file tape or file It may be fine. Yeah, it may seem harmless but it's not. They're the Hillary of news! I was stunned by that story. We had the same thing here before with that we had no way of seeing fireworks. It was a mess anyway onward now we had tons of fireworks here

Chilcot Report, Tony Blair Iraq War Critique

The Chilcot Report, a massive inquiry into the UK's involvement in the Iraq War, concluded that military action was not a last resort and was based on flawed intelligence. The report highlights private correspondence where Tony Blair promised President George W. Bush he would be with him "whatever."

chilcot report· tony blair· iraq war· john chilcot· george w bush

1:19:35 Order can fail Shut up slave Shut up slave, just shut up Yeah looking around the world I'll do a little backgrounder here on the Chilcot Report I have a short clip of it. scathing critique of any British Prime Minister that I've ever come across. People were expecting a whitewash, this isn't a whitewash it's far from it It is an absolutely devastating critique of Blair and the British government

1:20:28 the British intelligence services and the British military. The intelligence services come out of this particularly badly, the bottom line is they said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that was a basis on which Britain went to war This is a serious report it's long report It's one that personally devastating for Tony Blair I think its something from which his reputation will never ever recover There you go. That is what happened, I think that's uh... They had a carnival? I know it sounded like a chicken going, ROCK THE GAME! Something really- or a rooster or y'know Or maybe And maybe it was just this. Tony Blair. That's what it sounded like to me

1:21:13 So, what do you have in your clip? I just have Chilcot doing a little summary. Lord Chilcot himself. Sir John, yeah sir John... That's good! I want to hear this. We have concluded that the UK chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted. Military action at that time was not a last resort We have also concluded that the judgments about the severity of the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, WMD were presented with a certainty that was not justified. Despite explicit warnings, the consequences of the invasion were underestimated

1:22:00 The planning and preparations for Iraq after Saddam Hussein were wholly inadequate. The government failed to achieve its stated objectives The Chilcot Report goes on to blame former Prime Minister Tony Blair of deliberately exaggerating the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. Part of the report includes private correspondence between Blair and President George W. Bush eight months before the invasion, Blair wrote to Bush, quote, I will be with you whatever In June 2003, less than three months after the invasion began Blair privately wrote to Bush that the task in Iraq is quote absolutely awesome and I'm not at all sure we're geared for it. Blair added quote and if it falls apart and everything falls apart in the region... I'm not sure what that last bit was about he was fumbling and mumbling yeah kind of a couple of things we need to remember around this time we're talking 2002-2003

CHAPTER 26 / 48 Discussion

David Kelly, Weapons of Mass Destruction Investigation

The hosts recall the 2003 death of weapons expert David Kelly, who challenged the British government's claims regarding Iraq's biological weapons capabilities. Tony Blair accepted "full responsibility" for the decision to go to war while maintaining that removing Saddam Hussein was necessary.

david kelly· tony blair· weapons of mass destruction· suicide· bbc

1:23:02 We had it and I have not looked at the Chilcot Report. It's pretty big, but I'm going to do some work on it in the next few days. I'm mainly interested to see if there is any mention of David Kelly? Do you remember David Kelly? Yeah he's a Hollywood producer. He is the weapons expert who in, it was July 2003. Who said you know we checked it out there's no weapons of mass destruction! There is no weapons of mass destruction We can't find him Then he went into the woods and killed himself with his own knife Right Yes that guy Yeah This was a very very very bad Yeah It was a bad situation Now couple other things here's uh... There were alot going on What about the yellow cake and some others stuff too Oh yeah searches

1:23:53 This is the only way you can deal with that document. You can't read it Oh, I'm gonna read it two million words? I don't think so I'm gonna try and we'll see how far we get but I know yeah, I Don't know We'll see if I have not looked at it because there's just too much going on But it'll be fun to See what's in there cuz I do have a point to make first here Is just some of the responses I was listening to a lot of BBC World News Here is a sister who lost her brother in the war that we now know should have never happened, there were other options. That healing, that 11 and a half years I've worked for...I've gone back to that time when i learned that my brother had been killed And there is one terrorist in this world that the world needs to be aware of and his name's Tony Blair, the World's Worst Terrorist

1:24:45 Yay, Tony Blair the world's worst terrorist. Let's hear from the man himself The decision to go to war in Iraq and to remove Saddam Hussein from power In a coalition of over 40 countries led by the United States of America was the hardest most momentous Most agonizing decision I took in my 10 years as British Prime Minister for that decision today I accept full responsibility Like he gives a crap does not care

CHAPTER 27 / 48 Discussion

George Michael, Shoot the Dog Controversy

The hosts discuss George Michael's 2002 song "Shoot the Dog," which featured an animated video satirizing the relationship between Tony Blair and George W. Bush. They suggest the backlash to this political commentary significantly damaged Michael's career in the UK.

george michael· tony blair· shoot the dog· spitting image· music video

1:25:23 Yeah, if you read his correspondence which everybody brought out saying hey whatever you want to do George well go along with it. Well so here is the one point I want to make about this which i don't have not seen this but it should be brought up in the UK Do you recognize this song? You recognize it? No, of course not. It was not allowed to become a success In fact the song had a video that was uh... Not only excoriating as completely inappropriate But so wrong and so hurtful and so bad for Tony Blair That it ruined the career And sent him into a tailspin His name is George Michael One of THE best songwriters Of my time on earth

1:26:12 Yeah, and because he had little Tony Blair in this it was an animated video done by the same people who did spitting image except It wasn't puppets. It was a Animated just cartoon And he never overcame that people called him a horrible person they called him a dick They said he stepped out of bounds how dare you do? How dare you say that about Tony Blair they should go because George Michael is in trouble man He's fat, he fell out of his car doing 70 miles an hour. He was so stoned." Oh God! Yeah it is horrible what has happened to him and they should be... This is a good connection yeah you're right well hopefully he'll feel better about life after seeing this report I want these mentioned in our chat. Well I think that he should be on television say hey we're sorry

1:27:03 We're sorry. We made you into an a-hole." And I remember he just went, what? But do you understand at the time in this, the lyrics are, you know, hey Sherry Blair I'll just drop in and what do you think Tony's doing with George? You know insinuating they were having gay sex. So George Michael cartoon character drops into bed with Sherry Blair and oh this was not done! This is horrible! Oh excommunicate him then he never overcame it

1:27:41 Hey, gotta be careful. That's all I got to say about About that and I'll look into other things happening of course of course I'm glad you got that off your chest. I think we've mentioned it before I don't remember it But no sure the song was good No Really? Oh, I never had a really had a chance as a nice beat from what I could hear It had a great beat Almost like those, ooh those boys. Those Green Day boys they're great. They're a good band Got some interesting info on the Iran deal with Boeing You know this is the 25 billion dollar deal with Iran Air which was apparently you know baked into the JCPOA Yeah of course Here's what I didn't know On the

CHAPTER 28 / 48 Discussion

Boeing Lobbyist, Iran Nuclear Deal Mediation

Thomas Pickering, a key mediator in the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal, was a registered lobbyist for Boeing during the negotiations. The deal subsequently included a $25 billion aircraft purchase from Boeing, raising concerns about corporate influence in diplomatic policy.

boeing· thomas pickering· iran deal· pbs· lobbyist

1:28:40 team on Obama's team, the mediation team besides our guy with the crazy hair. What is his name again? His name with a crazy hair The nuke guy I don't know who you... Oh right yeah I don't know Moinst, Ernst Moinst is not his name? Yeah I think it's Moinst Something like that Ernst Moinst They had a Thomas Pickering on the team. It was former Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, career diplomat ambassador to Russia UN Israel and they really were the Obama Team the administration relied on him to lead the investigations Here's the deal all the way through 2015 Pickering was a registered and paid lobbyist for The Boeing Corporation

1:29:43 So he built this into the deal. Obama let a lobbyist build this into the deal! That's the way it works I think it should be noted that that is how it works Well no one else notices these things It's really absurd How would you present that in a news story? Well, the problem is... For one thing it's too late. The problem is you will never hear this story on PBS and do you know why Yeah, they're big. Boeing's a big sponsor of PBS. Brought to you by the Archer Daniel Midlands Company brought to you by Boeing brought to you by Monsanto. They can never do this... And there would be the logical outlet too. They could they would be the perfect outlet for this. This is I find it to be quite scandalous people are wondering how did this deal come about? Are you telling me that the Republicans who have oversight and were

1:30:39 you know, fighting this Iran deal that they haven't picked up on this? Or is the secret too ugly to actually expose because then a whole new can of worms might open up. Well, the new kind of worms would be won't get your donation right now. You will get any support from Boeing or maybe all the aerospace guys. You don't know yet. Yeah I know. And you think democracy now and make it big stink about it. Well, you know they can't. They can't and we know why they can't. Democracy now Oh, isn't democracy now a part of the public system? No. Where does it air, Democracy Now? On free speech TV. Oh... Now it has been on and off the public broadcasting airwaves Right that's what I thought But its not really where- It doesn't last because it is so mediocre as a show Its poorly produced Looks like you know looks like its produced in Romania Yeah And Amy is not a very good presenter

1:31:43 And apparently, you know the president is having with it. G-SOPA, G-COPA whatever the team is having problems getting other US corporations interested in the bonanza of investing in Iran. They probably didn't burn to before. Yeah can't be trusted that's a problem with a lot of these countries Orlando You'll recall my thesis is the alligator attack on the kid, which we heard nothing about. I mean all we saw no video you see no eyewitnesses We have know nothing double negatives is what we have a new news came out ready for this Yeah, I'm sitting A second alligator was also in the attack How did they not notice that? I don't know but this isn't it's just new information

CHAPTER 29 / 48 Discussion

Orlando Alligator Attack, Second Alligator Report

New records from the Reedy Creek Fire Department suggest a second alligator may have been involved in the fatal attack on a toddler at a Disney World resort. The father reported wrestling with one alligator before a second one emerged during the struggle.

orlando· alligator· disney world· reedy creek fire department· graves family

1:32:39 Mr. Graves, the so-called father of the so called toddler killed by the alligator apparently in records obtained by The Orlando Sentinel from the Reedy Creek Fire Department describes how Mr. Graves tried to extract his sons from the jaws of the alligators he wrestled with it and a second alligator came up and got him! Which is a little different from the original story, but you got to admit it's wow. What a coincidence! Not one but two alligators? They do... You know there is known as a pack alligator I have no idea. All right let's uh here's one and I've been listening yeah you know we for this show we do a lot of scrounging for

CHAPTER 30 / 48 Discussion

Katie Hopkins, Brexit Safety Pin Trend

LBC host Katie Hopkins criticized a post-Brexit trend where people wear safety pins to signal they are a "safe person" for minorities. Hopkins mocked the movement as a creation of the "Remain" campaign intended to paint "Leave" voters as hateful.

katie hopkins· lbc· brexit· safety pins· safe spaces

1:33:37 content that you will never hear anyplace else. But one of the things I've been listening to is LBC, London Broadcast Corporation. No it's actually London's something... It means something else. London's Big Cock! London's Best Conversation or something like that. Oh okay okay So there's one.. they have a variety of talkers on there that are leading Britain's conversation Yes, they have a variety of talkers from all sides of the political spectrum. But one of my favorites even though I know every British listeners will go how can you listen to her? It's Katie Hopkins Okay, I don't think I know her Katie Hopkins is funny She's like she's uh, I think she's brexit type and she's very cynical about Anything that is politically correct and she's good. She snide. She's kind of mean

1:34:35 But she brought up something in this particular clip which I didn't know was going on and could catch on here. And that is this idea that if you wear a bunch of safety pins like your lapel... Safety pins? Yes, safety pins it means you're supporting safe spaces and you're a safe person We used to wear those. We used to wear those through our nose in the 70s now and that would mean safe space. Yeah, safe space was what's next? You where if you were a silver razor blade around your neck then you are but you're against cutting as self harm This is crazy.

1:35:32 been dreamt up by sore losers from the Remain campaign in order to try and make it sound like race haters are people that voted Leave. That we are thick, that we are stupid and that we are racist and frankly we are not you may have seen earlier this week it was trending on Twitter an idea that you wear safety pins To show that you're a safe space in the world full of hate. That on the underground if you're wearing a safety pin, people can know that you are a safe person to be next to because you support safety You'll see earlier on my promotion for this show today I had 18 safety pins and two through my ear just to show that I have a safe space Oh man! They're nuts over there oh My goodness well i like it

CHAPTER 31 / 48 Discussion

Ozy Media, Senior Citizen Voting Rights

Ozy Media published an article suggesting that senior citizens receiving Social Security should be denied the right to vote, citing their influence on Brexit and local school bonds. Adam Curry shares a negative personal experience with the outlet's editorial practices and "archive" business model.

ozy media· brexit· social security· aarp· adam curry

1:36:23 I like the idea. Start wearing a safe. I'm safe, yes. Yes, yes, yes, you know this outfit Ozzy? O-Z-Y? Heard of it. Yeah so at first i thought they were kind of a good outfit. I thought their articles were reasonably done and until I figured out their business model which I don't like at all which I'll explain in a moment but they did a piece and I was curious about their funding But they did quite a big piece that really made an argument. In fact, here is their summary... There's a decent argument to be made for denying suffrage to anyone old enough to collect Social Security and so it starts! And this is in reference to Brexit. So old people if you receive Social Security screw it! If you're an AARP member you should not be allowed to vote. That's the consensus.

1:37:20 Couple of things before you play the clip. No, no clip. Oh, you just oh a couple of things I think there's some justification for this Okay and all you say that because of all have a lot of friends in Florida and There's kind of a theme down there And they have nothing but trouble their crime to gangs have all these issues because it's education system in Florida sucks Because apparently all the old farts that are in the retirement homes, mostly in condos. They all get on buses and go down every voting moment they have and vote against all educational bonds and bills because according to this analyst, the way they see it is give us a crap that doesn't do me any good!

1:38:06 And so that, I'm not completely against that idea. But for the same reason you can say you can't have young people vote if you're not old enough to drive or drink? You shouldn't vote either! I mean, you could say the same thing... Yeah, I can. Okay. I'm consistent. Just about Aussie briefly- Only people with property should vote. Does that include slaves if you have human property does that count? I'll get an extra vote for that This was co-authored by Pooja Bhatia, who interviewed me for Aussie. And I just want to spew my discontent about this operation. But what do you mean they interviewed you? Yeah so they pursued me through a number of emails. Hey! I'd like to interview, like an interview, like an interview and then... Today? No this is a couple months back. In fact it's February. So yeah, I look at it said okay that sounds good

1:38:59 So the woman interviews me, you know long and she's... And it was on Skype and I could see her. She actually did it on video Skype which is interesting Then going back and forth and then after a couple weeks I'm like hey where's the interview? And she said oh when we do it is when its relevant then we pull that off out of the archive I'm like fuck you lady No kidding And there was no mention, no disclaimer. No nothing about that and the pitch was you know here's our numbers millions of viewers idea whatever but yeah the pitch was professional otherwise and reasonable and it's just been so this is maybe you're misinterpreting this hmm maybe just maybe yeah possible

1:39:50 But then just say it sucked being nice by telling you no because no she told me this is how we work. This is the business model like I didn't play old clips, No, It's not clips they will include whatever was written its goes in the archive and then when there's something about podcasting well here's what Adam Curry said which will them be at least six months old 2007 I mean come on I'm telling you This is what Ozzy does. That's not the way you do publish, that is not right! No? Where's my PR value?! Where's my earned media!? Well if they ever ask me anything I'll just tell them no. Yeah. Huh... well that stinks. Mmm it's okay Alright let's see what else we got. Well a couple of things- I have an- Okay go ahead. Okay well I just want to get one out of the way since we don't talk about marijuana enough on this show. Too busy consuming

CHAPTER 32 / 48 Discussion

Medical Marijuana Research, DEA Classification

A PBS NewsHour report highlighted the benefits of medical cannabis for children with epilepsy while noting the DEA's failure to meet a deadline for reclassifying the drug. The hosts argue that the delay is driven by bureaucratic interests and the pharmaceutical industry's desire to synthesize the plant.

marijuana· dea· pbs newshour· big pharma· israel

1:40:49 We don't consume. Well, you do but I don't. This was the end of a PBS NewsHour report on the medical benefits of marijuana, especially for poor little kids. I saw this report! This was interesting. Yeah it does work and it's fantastic but...I just got to the end of the clip because there were a couple factoids at the end that I thought were more interesting than the majority of the report which I've seen all this stuff they talked about and everybody does But this little bit at the end kind of irked me.

1:41:31 So Amy and Letty Lopez see much more benefit than risk. He makes my blood flow, that kid makes me breathe I would do anything for him The proof is in the scooter Miles O'Brien the PBS NewsHour Lowell Massachusetts The DEA has been evaluating proposals to loosen the classification of cannabis, which would make it easier for scientists and doctors to do research. But the agency missed its own July deadline and it's not clear when there'll be a decision In his next piece Miles will speak with the Israeli chemist whose pioneering work into medical cannabis 30 years ago is now being embraced by the scientific mainstream

1:42:19 It's about time that guy, that Israeli character has been doing this stuff 30 years of research and every time he hears something like Hillary Clinton says we need more research. All the research has been done! This is nonsense. The DEA...the way they see it oh god our budget is going to shrink. This is no good. Let's just sit on it. These guys are douchebags. Yeah, yeah its not in their interest at all. We love busting weed smokers And we're so close to getting some kind of measurement in, so that we can detect if you were unfit to drive. Yeah. Now this, but this excuse has been going on for a long time now being we can't test it. There was some mention in that report about the production of marijuana is at best it's hard to reproduce and get exactly the same results you know? This is ultimately about synthesizing it and then big pharma selling it and the public can go pound sand. You know that'll happen

CHAPTER 33 / 48 Discussion

The Lancet, Antidepressant Ineffectiveness in Teens

A study published in The Lancet found that most antidepressants, including Effexor, are ineffective for children and teenagers and may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts. Only Prozac was found to be more effective than a placebo in relieving symptoms for this demographic.

the lancet· antidepressants· prozac· effexor· suicide

1:43:21 Related, The Lancet. Now the Lancet is a serious medical journal I believe? Yeah it's one of the top. There's the headline Most antidepressant drugs ineffective for children and teens according to study Yes And they...the findings indicate that out of 14 antidepressants only fluoxetine was more effective at relieving symptoms than placebo whilst taking Venlafaxine was linked with an increased risk of engaging in suicidal thoughts and attempts compared with placebo and five other antidepressants. Yeah, you mean the suicidal thoughts that have resulted in more teen suicides in the history of the country than ever? Yes sir But nobody ever brings up the drug aspect of this except us Because we don't have to rely on

1:44:15 Oh, that's right. Because you turn on the CBS Evening News it's drug ad, drug ad, drug ad, drug ad! Fluoxetine is better known by its trade name... What is that? Prozac now Prozac of course and Venlafaxine what does venlafaxine also known as it's owned by Pfizer what do they make out of them? What is their brand? Somehow the book of knowledge is not giving me their brand name. Hmm, can you find this? Usually shows it no I don't know anything about it because they say that that let me see where's here Is that what yes okay venlafaxine No, no Ben Okay only fluoxetine was more effective at releasing the same so apparently Prozac the old tried-and-true

1:45:20 is effective at relieving symptoms of depression or more effective than the placebo. But Venlafaxine, among the other I guess and the 12 other SSRIs that do not work... What the hell was it? Effexor! There we go. Effexor. Thank you chat room. Effexor. But there's pretty much 14 of them just don't work and yeah. And no but they probably screw you up real good Yeah yes Don't let your kids take drugs. That prescription drug. Exactly, don't get them on the bad stuff give them the good stuff people Well I have a story that mainstream media obviously wouldn't touch in a million years and i don't think anyone's going to hear about it anyplace else All right uh and we did except Russia Today which is where I found it And it's like a very good story this thing got two... It's a two-parter

CHAPTER 34 / 48 Discussion

NATO Expansion, German Opposition and Russia

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier accused NATO of "warmongering" against Russia through military exercises in Eastern Europe. A proposal in the German parliament suggests replacing NATO with a collective security system that includes Russia to reduce U.S. dominance in European affairs.

nato· germany· russia· frank-walter steinmeier· edward snowden

1:46:20 This is a package. This is the post-NATO, and I have one spot. Ah yes yeah because isn't it today or this weekend? Isn't that the big NATO... they're not having a big power? Well there's like a meeting today that has something to do with this particular thing but you listen to this and think of this anybody actually even in the UK I think anyone should listen to this story and realize what you're being told here and what you're being told by the media, and all the rest of it. It just is outrageous that this story is not major news." Though what's unusual for Europe is opposition to NATO activities among top officials Even key NATO ally Germany is voicing deep concern over the organization's build-up in Eastern Europe with Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier accusing it of war mongering against Russia

1:47:12 The one thing we should do now is inflame the situation with loud saber rattling and warmongering. Whoever believes that a symbolic tank parade on the NATO alliance's eastern border will bring security is mistaken An overwhelming 64% of the public share Steinmeier's concerns. That is according to a YouGov poll, just 9% back Berlin's plan to send troops to the Baltics to help deter what NATO calls Russian assertiveness There are also voices of discontent in the German parliament which today is likely to vote on a resolution to establish a collective security system quote from Lisbon to Vladivostok incorporating Russia itself RT's Peter Oliver now reports from the German capital.

1:47:57 Well, it's being put forward by the opposition left party here in Germany. And it really expresses concerns over the way NATO has been developing. Well what this proposal that is being put forward actually would entail would be a scrapping of NATO as it stands right now and the formation of a new security group that would include all those NATO members as well as those European nations currently not part of the alliance as well as Russia working together for common security. Hmm... Well the first thing you have to ask, common security from what? From American meddling?!

1:48:36 from regime change or whatever else we're abusing. We're abusing the system, they've caught on to it now we're screwed and again coming out with that guy that Breedlove character who is now retired with his idea of arming the Ukrainians without you know being aggressive NATO's supposed to be a defensive operation if something bad happens yeah it's not supposed to be you know, moving is expanding and moving in about the attack Russia. And I read that if you look at the actual turf that NATO has in fact built up troops with an increase, I think it's five or 800 acres of actual territory eastward which of course breaks the entire gentleman's agreement we have with Russia which is we will not expand

1:49:23 Well, that's been broken for a while. Yeah. Let's play part two and wrap this up now one of the key proponents of of this idea of a pan-Eurasian security service has been Sarah Wagenknecht, the Left Party MP. She put forward why she thinks it's a good idea. First of all we are concerned with the way NATO has been developing in recent years especially with its most recent moves such as these combative maneuvers in Eastern Europe We believe that they pose a serious threat to peace in Europe critical of NATO expansion to the east, we think that Germany should get back to the idea that security and peace in Europe is possible with Russia not against it. That's why we call for a new collective security system with Russia which would represent the interests of Europeans instead of being dominated by the US." Well German Chancellor Angela Merkel had previously talked about a trading bloc stretching from Lisbon to Vladivostok

1:50:22 She's going to be facing a debate on the floor of the Bundestag about turning that into a security block as well. She is expected to speak at around 9am local time here in Berlin." Doesn't this all just come down to particularly European countries not wanting to pay? They don't want to pony up 3% of GDP as is the agreement. I think there's an element, everybody thinks they're sick of being bossed around by us it hasn't done them any good ever since the sanctions began on Russia people have suffered the most from European farmers yeah how about the tomatoes? The tomatoes, the peaches, the apricots all this stuff that they grow and send to Russia because Russia is a big buyer Yeah And uh... They can do that because we are- Because of us We have the- We can't do that

1:51:10 It's unbelievable. All we're doing is creating a situation that is going to be hard for us to control, and we won't be able to control it at all as a matter of fact. And this is like...it's a nasty looking operation just like all of Europe and Russia? What if they want to gang up on us?" And the interesting thing, Russia just passed all these really tough anti-terrorism laws which would no way they would fly in United States but When it comes to combating terrorism, I'd say Russia is probably the best ally you could have. They seem to really be invested in making this stop and they have a lot of experience. Yeah well i'm just saying... It always boils down to one thing as far as I'm concerned Snowden! Hey with Comey's recommendation can Snowden now come back? Is he now clear? Is he in the clear? I don't see how No I mean just the thought

CHAPTER 35 / 48 Discussion

Frans Timmermans, European Commission Governance

Frans Timmermans, a high-ranking official in the European Commission, is discussed in the context of the EU's unelected leadership structure. The hosts explain how the Commission proposes laws that the European Parliament can only vote on, rather than initiate.

frans timmermans· european commission· bilderberg· netherlands· democracy

1:52:10 Maybe you can come back. You know some people are demanding that Obama's pardon Snowden just as he leaves office I think he should but Obama is all in on it, Snowden is a horrible traitor You may recall the guy who was Secretary of State and Undersecretary of State in the Netherlands when I had him on the radio show on Arrow FM, which of course you know was burned to the ground. Burned to the ground? Burned to the ground! After you did your thing? Yeah after i did my thing. See it was burning down and ran you out of town pretty much pretty much So one of the, because I did this show from London. One of the rare occasions that I was in the studio he was in for an interview and he was on his way to Bilderberg with a Dutch queen so I said oh you're a Bilderberger? And he said ah, pretty much it's a drinking club sales job, you know the Queen at the time now there is a King. The Queen is a great sales person but then he took me aside and he says all this stuff your talking about on this shows very important, this is very important, this is very good. You got stuff by the right end

1:53:14 And then later I saw him when I was flying back from Rotterdam to the UK by plane, which at the time my Cessna. It was in the jet center wing for general aviation And they were about to go on some junket with the Royal Plane, but it was politicians. It was then Balkanenda who was the Prime Minister and Frans Timmermans, the Undersecretary of State he saw him and said hey come on in man! Come on in! And let me introduce you to the Prime Minister. Do you recall this story when he was that goofy guy and went up to him and said, oh hello Mr. Kerry I recognize you from TV?

1:54:01 Anyway, years ago keep talking. Yeah so Frans Timmermans but he is now you know the special assistant to pretty much well it's the commission the European Commission but really uh he is Jean-Claude Juncker the drunker as his um this you know it's his job to defend the commission and as we know the way European Parliament works is the Commission, the European Commission which has unelected officials. They're appointed they come up with laws and then the European Parliament debates them so the European Parliament cannot bring laws to the floor they can only vote on which arguably is

1:54:45 democratic, except the vote does not determine if something passes or not. The vote goes back to... It doesn't really count? No it goes back to the Commission and you can issue a yellow card if you think it conflicts with constitutional issues in your own member state then they can give us more than you get a red card but it never really means that it goes away as the European Commission can change it And, you know so for this guy who said hey you know be really on the right track I'm not quite sure why he messaged that to me but He did a speech in Parliament which is long. But i love this Dutch guy who has the impeccable English accent

CHAPTER 36 / 48 Discussion

Hemicycle Definition, European Parliament Debate

The hosts examine the term "hemicycle," a semi-circular seating arrangement used in the European Parliament to encourage political consensus. They play a clip of Frans Timmermans defending the EU's democratic mandate against critics like Nigel Farage.

hemicycle· european parliament· nigel farage· westminster system· consensus

1:55:29 And we'll just stop it when we feel it's appropriate to stop. But he really, really went out and tried to defend this whole... When you listen to him just imagine Starfleet Command. You know, Starfleet Command had the big auditorium which I think he calls the hemicycle not circle but hemicycle and everyone is in there. Thank you Mr President I have come here today to listen to Parliament's views on the Commission Work Programme for next year. The Commission Work Programme is what the Commission has handed to the European Parliament, saying heres what you'll be voting on Now we are just before Parliament needs to vote so that why the hemicycle is filling up and... Why would they call it hemicycle? Not hemi-circle? I've no idea It is quite a sight

1:56:23 to see all of you here. And I mention this because all too often in the last couple of months something seems to have been forgotten and that is 751 Europeans have been elected to directly represent citizens from 28 different nations in all their diversities, with all their differences. We've got Klingons we've got people from Rebulon... With all their different outlooks on lives but you all come together here in this hemicycle

1:57:01 to look for majorities, to take decisions. And that is the essence of representative democracy that you decide by majority Just as the British people have decided by majority to leave the European Union, that decision needs to be respected. But likewise those who only shouted here for years they were in this Parliament should have had more respect for the majority in this Parliament which decisions are just as legitimised by voters who went to vote for them

1:57:40 And please, please I call on all of you now that i have the opportunity to speak to so many of you don't let your democratic mandate be ridiculed or diminished stand up for it. You are the representatives of more than 500 million people Be proud of it and stand up for it and don't let those people tell you do not represent their people Those of you out there who've asked for the head of Jean-Claude Juncker, that is an excellent idea. Politically weak... morally questionable... intellectually lazy! Is that all you have to offer? Destroy for the sake of destruction rather than build something for your citizens?! I mean he's just off his rocker man

1:58:43 He was criticizing Farage right there. Oh, of course he was! Of course! But what I mean... They mentioned Great Britain and a bunch of people booed Yeah It gets pretty rowdy if you want to hear more it gets pretty rowdy from the crowd i don't know if it's that interesting uh Not really? yeah not really I would like to hear the whole thing but i think it's a little boring okay then we'll leave it for what it is but he gets really angry and just keep quiet Because people are booing him and he's like, you know this is a great idea. It's fantastic But for the guy who said to me on the slide like yeah in the world order Yeah Maybe that he went through the re-education Before you get into the European Commission Chambers you have to be re-educated Hemicycle is a correct word I've learned but what does it mean? hemicycle

1:59:36 A circular shape designed to encourage consensus among political parties. How about that? Rather, this is the actual definition. Say a circular shape designed to encourage consensus among political parties rather than confrontation." Well hey now... That's odd! Yeah Where'd that definition come from? Let me see Are you just calling it that then do encourage Whatever you're encouraging. The Westminster system where the government and opposition parties face each other on a... oh okay, so the Westminster systems we have parties on opposite sides of the bench. Right, the two sides of the aisle as they were. That's of course the United Kingdom We do that too But the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly use hemicycles

2:00:33 They're just scattered around. So is the... well? Probably where one party's sitting next to the other. So is our House of Representatives, that really a hemicycle because...? No it's not because there are two sides to the aisle you have people on one side and other people in the other. Although when they give them their president gives his speech they often make it into a hemicycle. Oh yeah, hemicycle right. Learned a word! There ya go Yeah, great. That alone is worth the price of admission! I admit one of my weaker transitions. Yeah you should have played the ducks. Yeah geese are geese

Indeed. There was a horrible accident, two members of the Dutch military died in Mali where they are stationed and there was not a lot of information but it was like some... I was like well dude just some accident something and what accidents? What could have happened

CHAPTER 39 / 48 Discussion

Spiked Ammunition, Dutch Military Deaths in Mali

Following the accidental death of two Dutch soldiers in Mali, the hosts discuss the military tactic of "salting" ammunition supplies with spiked rounds that explode when fired. They also touch on the use of infrared-reflective tape to prevent friendly fire incidents during combat operations.

mali· spiked ammo· syria· dutch military· infrared tape

2:13:24 You know, what I was talking about a mortar or something that just blew up and bloomed to bits. And I got some info from our military intelligence network And this is a report from, I believe... what is this? 2012. Which explains exactly how this happens. Late the spring Mohamed Saleh Haji Moussa, a Syrian fighter seeking to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad was attacking a government checkpoint when something went wrong his rifle exploded His hands were left twisted and scarred the explosion might easily have killed him. Mr. Moussa was a victim of one of the modern battlefield's dirty tricks, the secret salting of anti-government fighters' supply lines with tainted ammunition that erupts inside weapons often wounding and sometimes killing the fighters while destroying many of their hard found arms." So if you go on YouTube and search for spiked ammo

2:14:24 You'll see guns blowing up. You'll see this one, there's one poor sap and he is dropping mortars into the pipe which I do not like that weapon this whole gravity fed thing has always bothered me like plop it in. It's World War II stuff! And then he keeps thinking of dropping in one. Alohawk bar click boom! Alohawk bar click boom! Alohawk bar It explodes. And this is a report from 2012, goes on to blame it on Syria but I have it on pretty good authority this is what the United States does we spread out because we give away everything We give away the weapons Give away the ammo We sell it We smuggle it We drop it off But we also have spiked ammo and apparently some of these got into the Dutch supplies and they did one of these mortars and blew them up

2:15:17 Oh, that's terrible. It's horrible! It's horrible that it is being done at all. That's like landmines you know? At some point your the one... You're gonna step on it yeah eventually I just thought that was crazy but there should be investigations about this stuff Yeah, there has got to be some...yeah Put codes on these things so at least the knowledgeable would know Like a crazy tape you can wear and I was going to buy something but you cant export its very difficult to get hold of It's a tape that reflects infrared. And so when you're flying over certain areas and you put some goggles on or something, you can see the people that are wearing the tape and you're not supposed to shoot them. That goes on top of your helmet or at the top of your shoulders. Yeah it said they have color coatings they have... I don't think its tape these days its transponders?

2:16:15 I'm pretty sure that, uh... you know guys in the field or behind enemy lines or front line they have transponders and it's just like an aircraft actually their transponders are being picked up. I'm not sure about the tape could be. No i'll get you the documentation for the tape okay? I was gonna buy a roll yeah! We're on the roof of the house do not bomb Have you ever used a laser and pointed at one of those guys who were doing construction Whoever, as a matter of fact I haven't. We should try it who have the vest on? It's fantastic! They have the reflective vest it goes wow it explodes like there's just light flashes everywhere once you hit that vest it's really something to see

CHAPTER 40 / 48 Discussion

Lead in D.C. Water, Fluoride and Berkey Filters

Elevated lead levels were detected in the drinking water of a Congressional office building on Capitol Hill, prompting blood tests for staff. The hosts discuss their personal water filtration preferences, specifically the ability of Berkey filters to remove fluoride, which they link to historical CIA "docility" experiments.

lead· washington dc· fluoride· berkey water filter· zero water

2:17:00 I'm reliably informed. Yes, here's the story of the week as far as i'm concerned sort of some irony in this story short story all right led found in DC water House lawmakers and their staff will undergo blood tests on Wednesday. That's because elevated lead levels have been detected in the drinking water at one office building on Capitol Hill The discovery has triggered widespread concern One lawmaker notes there are pregnant women who work on the hill, lead can be especially harmful to the unborn There you go! Half of the water supply is tainted By coincidence I just tested my water here in the crackpot condo yesterday

2:17:46 I got one of those kits and you've got the litmus paper, you've got the vial for this and a test for everything. Because I smell water and it smells like chlorine. Yeah because its got chlorine in it. It does! But when I tested it, all levels were acceptable. The only thing that wasn't acceptable was the hardness of the water. So I guess it's pH balance that was off the scale. That some mineral content is what it is? Yeah well that's a way you have when you have hard water and means you can make soap bubble up and smell bad in the dishwasher here we got soft water so you don't need as much soap. Well it really became broken. You know I have the I have a Berkey Water Filter which I use pretty religiously It became very apparent where by mistake

2:18:30 I, uh...I got a soda stream. And uh and i filled it up with tap water instead of the filtered water Man when you shoot the CO2 in that oh my goodness It's just the chlorine is jumping out of the bottle. Yet, when tested levels normal I don't know if that's considered to be a... Whatever you have... You can get chloro- If you put it in a boiling pot or kettle it boils off the chlorine there are lots of ways to get rid of the chlorine but I use filtered water and I've used different ones and I will recommend as we can do next Okay well yes I have the Berkey which I like its a seed man purchase

2:19:09 I use zero water. Zero water? Zero water is, and I've used all these different filters and mechanisms but i have to say that in terms of flavor there's nothing like zero water It is terrific tasting, it's just hard to explain. But I'm very picky about my waters for example bottled waters I like...I actually like of all the sparkling waters. I saw the one you're talking about in Whole Foods and that's what i would always buy the green bottles $1 a bottle is great deal. The problem is I live in an apartment building and if you have heavy shit then you gotta have multiple trips

2:19:52 This is the main reason I want to make my own sparkling water. You need a dumb waiter! I need staff, is what I need. Anyway so yeah that water's delicious. This is the ion exchange stuff? Do you have like the jug or which one do you have? Yeah it's a jug. Zero Water has got a little... It also has a little little measurement gauge you can test the water and then that's when it's oh, that's nice. It actually works pretty well now here's the problem zero water filters are not certified for the reduction of fluoride which the Berkey has specific filters to remove fluoride

2:20:37 I'm telling you, I got chloride in my water and it does enough of a job. I'm not saying chloride, fluoride. Oh fluoride? Oh yeah! Fluorides still a problem but the Berkey has filters to remove the fluoride. We need one of those up in Washington State. Yeah Mimi's getting a little docile And I want to remind people where that comes from. The book Legacy of Ashes about the CIA, Tim Weiner New York Times who since that book I don't think has done any good work certainly not about the FBI mentioned a case which was declassified where they would go to an enemy camp at night, drop fluoride into the water supply and then once everybody was quote docile they could easily walk in and say hey we're taking over you're captured. And I believe this to be true. Well they haven't captured the city of Austin yet. Of all the cities to allow shit in their water...Austin Texas really?

CHAPTER 41 / 48 Discussion

Marijuana Legalization, MADD Corruption and SodaStream

The hosts discuss the upcoming marijuana legalization vote in California and criticize Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) as a corrupt organization. They also praise the SodaStream product for its efficiency in making sparkling water at home using filtered tap water.

marijuana· madd· sodastream· california· harvard

2:21:43 Well, hey let's go over a couple of interesting factoids. California voted against legalizing marijuana before it was even offered to anybody else how does that work? And they're gonna do it again! Yes they probably will and do you think that it'll pass this time I wouldn't be surprised if it, yeah. I think it might this time because there's they're starting to see the benefits in the other states of the tax revenues and it's not really causing a lot of issues except for the bull crap ones that are made up by the anti you know just the tea toddlers and what they amount to these are the same people that before prohibition uh you know all those all these wrecks and people are dying on the road

2:22:26 I'll say it again. I've said it before all that's mainly but I will say, it's mad mothers against drunk drivers or drunk drivers who are a sham organization complete sham we've discussed it before the whole you know executive team... The woman who founded had to quit because it became so corrupt yeah what they do is they make their money by selling you um the driving courses they sell you the breathalyzer it's all through that organization It's a complete Money-grabbing scam well like Mimi says that but I've noticed this too you go up north and you can spot at drugs Guys smoking pot in his car. You smell it? I mean, I guess ball a cigarette smoker from two cars away But the pot smokers are very identifiable and you tell the car It's like, you know wash the inside of your windows once in awhile That's only when you're driving to 56 Corvette right now

2:23:21 So you they're going down the road and you could just see how they were super cautious of driving too slow They got people looking every which way Paranoid dude, I'm really big man Pasta Cheetos past the Mac and Cheetos But anyway, I do want to say that the SodaStream what an amazing product. What a great way to take a very old product slap some plastic around it make it new and you know I always wondered why when my dad had a soda squirt

2:24:04 And I was always, you know, don't touch it. Don't touch it at your dad. Don't touch that. But I want to make some soda water cartridges and those little metal cartridges still make these things of course they make them for BB guns is still use them. I think air, you know, air, their pistols and I've got one but the idea is to take the, you know, take that little capsule boom. They got this long cylinder which is supposed to be good for 60 bottles And they put it in a five cent piece of shit plastic. It's really genius! Does it work? Fantastic. Do you get a good bottle of sparkling water? I think its'a very good bottle of sparkling water, moreover because it is my own filtered water. Okay... That's a good endorsement. Yeah, unpaid endorsement but yeah

2:24:54 No, the Berkey actually. I tasted the Berkey at... when we were on the Hot Pockets tour We stayed in Ohio those kids have since moved up to Maine or Vermont and they were great! They ate their own food from the garden and they had a Berkey water filter only drank that water wouldn't you know? They're packing heat all the time Great kids! Did wedding videos to make money Fantastic Well good. How much that thing cost? What's the Berkey cost? Very expensive, oh my goodness! I think it's... this one is 200 bucks or something. It's crazy. If it actually does get rid of fluoride. Well according to the test I did there was no discernible fluoride in the water which seems odd

2:25:45 But maybe it's just, you know these tests I don't know. I have to see which lab this is. Maybe i think fluoride is not that... It's not like the amount that they dope up the people to take them over in a military attack. So some parts per million may show up. Yeah yeah it's all parts for millions. The test may not be useful for this Well, but if they're putting fluoride in the water under the guise of it's good for your teeth then you should be able to detect it. That has been proven to be bull crap there are lots of documentation... That is still the argument that you use I know its bull crap Harvard proved it was bull crap and the reason they put the whole reason for fluorite is to get rid of it as an industrial waste product exactly by diluting it in a couple lakes

China Organ Harvesting, Falun Gong and Uyghurs

A new report titled "The Slaughter" alleges that China is conducting large-scale live organ harvesting, targeting groups such as the Falun Gong, Uyghurs, and Christians. The report estimates between 60,000 and 100,000 transplants occur annually, far exceeding voluntary donation numbers.

china· organ harvesting· falun gong· uyghurs· tibetans

2:26:29 You know he's hardly noticeable. It still not, I mean why don't you just throw some shit in there? Hey we need to get rid of shit! They already do that! How about old iron? Yeah it's all in there. It's groovy! Okay good Alright, something very odd going on in China. We rarely get news out of China and there's a new book out and this guy seems like a real sensationalist but I am interested in his report which is another 800 pages for Adam over this weekend but I will take a look at it the guys book is called The Slaughter The Bloody Harvest In China

2:27:08 And well, here's his little YouTube intro. This is a follow-on to Bloody Harvest and the Slaughter that we are looking at not 10 thousand transplants per year in China but something more like 60 to 100 thousand transplants per year in China Now this number is extremely upsetting that we literally have no idea exactly where the sourcing of these organs comes from. Even if voluntary organ donations in China have gone up, they can't reach this level. This is live organ harvesting, Falun Gong in the main but also Uyghurs, Tibetans, House Christians These are the groups that have been targeted from the beginning and they continue to be targeted We see no hospitals closing

2:27:53 We see no transplant centers struggling. In fact, we see the opposite. We see construction programs in hundreds of hospitals and it has become their bread-and-butter economic mainstay of their profession is to keep this thing going a death sentence really for the groups were talking about So this guy's assertion is that there is a very large scale and very active trade, which would be deemed illegal of human organs live organs in China. Now I don't know if the book includes the passage where the guy wakes up in a bathtub filled with ice cubes and there's lipstick writing on the window but on the on the air.

2:28:37 What do you think about this? I think it could be true. His assertion is that it's Tibetans and Christians... It wouldn't surprise me, I think Falun Gong would be at the top of the list Of? Of the people they'd grab and cut Who are the Falungong? Falungong is a sort kind of a screwball religion that doesn't really do much except pray a lot about the overthrow of China And there, I guess they got some messages that the Chinese really resent and so they've been banned. It's like you mentioned Falun Gong if you happen to be hanging out in China or if your in China doing stuff You could be arrested it's really a...it's The group outside of any Chinese embassy or whatever they're called missions where you can go by get a passport There is probably one in Austin Consulate

2:29:35 Consulate, that's the word. Out in front of any one of those places you'll find the Falun Gong and they'll be out there with protest signs. So your... so the Chinese officials are or officials, the Chinese are taking those and chopping them up and selling them for live organs? Selling the live organs? Yeah it sounds believable My goodness! But at a hundred thousand was it wasn't the bunch Hasidic Jews in Jersey who were selling, who were trafficking in live organs? Wasn't there some big scandal about that a while back ago? There was always a scandal about this. Hmm... Jews in Jersey selling organs I think that's what it would probably work Orthodox Jews! There we go

2:30:29 No. Well, I'll have to look at that but i think there was some scandal about that. I don't know man it just kind of freaked me out so do you think that is just China? I could imagine where the elites everywhere would want to happen Oh yeah! I think its probably more common than we'd like to believe and your right its about the elites is why they live longer And if you uh... Do you know what the price is as a woman if you wanna sell one of your eggs What's the price? An ovum purchase $10,000 Wow. Yeah, apparently it's a very painful process to get the egg removed Well there are a lot of kids in college who are doing this They're selling... well first of all they pay off their student loans Yes they're selling plasma which is not new Pathetic! But ovums yes ovum sales are up 10 grand a pop Of course most of the kids can't sell their eggs because they're on drugs If you're on SSRIs then they won't accept it

Venezuela Economic Crisis, Oil Glut and Inflation

Venezuela is facing a severe economic collapse characterized by hyperinflation and food shortages, leading hundreds of women to storm the Colombian border for supplies. President Nicolás Maduro blames a "business elite" for the crisis, while critics point to government mismanagement and the plunge in global oil prices.

venezuela· nicolas maduro· inflation· oil prices· colombia

2:31:29 Foiled again. And if you're not on SSRIs, you probably don't need the money. Right! Yeah a lot of dough left over for sure Let's play this clip we haven't kept up with this but this is getting worse by the minute it's not being really under reported in American press But this is Venezuela is a mess Yes it is indeed Venezuela's dire economic crisis. It would have been funnier if he started off by saying, Venezuela is a mess! That would have been perfect Venezuela's dire economic crisis shows no sign of easing. President Nicolás Maduro blames the business elite of waging an economic war by hoarding supplies to aggravate the crisis The majority opposition in Parliament, though says his mismanagement is to blame Rocketing interest rates and a lack of hard currency have led to major shortages in supermarkets and even hospitals That has driven some people in need of basic supplies to desperate measures

2:32:31 There have been chaotic scenes on Venezuela's border with Colombia as hundreds of determined and hungry Venezuelan women pushed past security forces there. All they wanted to do on the other side was to shop for some food, a scarce commodity in Venezuela these days. We no longer have enough to make a small arepa. We won't last another week. Our children are starving. We have to wake up! We've spent a year waiting for food to be brought to us. Venezuela's economic crisis was precipitated by the plunge in oil prices. Oil is its main export

2:33:10 Basic food items are no longer available in many places and inflation is soaring. On the streets, tensions are high with scuffles and looting now commonplace." Hmm... It's... Yeah it's probably- What do you think is going on? I know they want to get rid of this Maduro character and I think he's probably an incompetent bonehead without any of the charisma of Chavez I don't know. One guess, somehow we're behind some of this. That's what i'm thinking!

2:33:48 We're so good. They still want to get a hold of their oil, they got a lot of oil and we... And they won't do deals? They won't do deals, they'll sell it through their own outlet, Citco or whatever that company is. But how do maybe we started this long time ago but the way we really don't want the oil now there are tankers filled with oil just circling around the oceans I mean, there's a lot of extra oil out there to keep the price up. Yeah but that is to try and keep the price cropped up and if it all flowed in all of a sudden so you normalize inventory we'd probably see an oil price about 35 bucks. Exactly! They want to keep it as high as they can to maintain... But they can't because their whole system It was like when we played the clip about taxes in California Right

2:34:36 They made the public all super aware of gas price or gasoline as a polluter. And you can't, so you got all these electric cars, you got all these people getting 50 miles an hour, I'm sorry 15 miles per gallon and all this other saving thing in wind power and everything you can think of is just results in a glut of oil And you put them in tankers, you put them in tank farms. You do anything you can to make it look like there's not a glut but they all fill up and then you're screwed. Venezuela came up with some research I was doing which was actually based upon some other research. Comey was talking about the FBI

CHAPTER 44 / 48 Discussion

FBI Line of Duty Deaths, Global Murder Statistics

Data from the FBI and NationMaster indicates that approximately 50 agents die in the line of duty annually. A comparison of global premeditated murder rates places the United States at number 27, significantly safer than countries like Honduras and Venezuela, but less safe than Japan and the Netherlands.

fbi· murder rates· honduras· japan· nationmaster

2:35:21 and the good men and women of the FBI, so just toodling around on their website figuring I'll go into some interesting stats. Do you know how many FBI agents die every year in line of duty? No Just a guess A hundred? Nah about 50 About 50 die in the line of duty That's a lot of agents Still seems like a lot It does But then I came across this handy little data slicer and dicer There's somewhere, so I just have to follow my path. So reading... Oh, but I know what it was. I didn't clip her. Moron congresswoman stood up and went more people are killed by guns in America than any other country in the world! And uh and I was looking at these stats on another tab and I said hey that's interesting why don't I take a look at number of people killed per hundred thousand

2:36:18 In a in with a dedicated murder so not just oops you know I bumped India you fell down and you died but premeditated murder Regardless of weapon where do you think the United States shows up on that list? So violent murder, murder by any weapon. I have no idea. I don't think for number one No in fact We are number 27 Okay, we make sense with 4.7 people murdered per hundred thousand Let's look at the whole list Well, let's look at the listed number 27 to now too well okay so in order of appearance Honduras El Salvador st Kitts and Nevis Wow where is that? the islands 68 people per hundred thousand murdered

2:37:15 Uh, nothing good. Then number four Venezuela then Belize Guatemala number five Jamaica number uh I'm sorry, 1 2 3 4 5. Then right after Jamaica Bahamas then Colombia South Africa Trinidad Tobago Brazil Dominican Republic Saint Lucia Panama Mexico St Vincent and the Grenadines Guyana Ecuador Nicaragua Russia Costa Rica Bolivia Estonia Uruguay Thailand then comes the United States following followed closely by Latvia Chile India Taiwan Bangladesh Finland? Finland?!

2:37:56 Finland, Israel, Canada New Zealand Morocco Ireland Sweden The Netherlands Denmark Germany and Japan And Japan has 0.35 person per 100 the Netherlands .86 And again the United States has 4.7 So really in you know in the scheme of things pretty safe here Not as safe as Japan Right. But you have to wonder how many of these, if any of these numbers are actually covered up in certain cultures like Japan where they see everything as a face saving face right now he wasn't Kurt Kill it was something else I just wondered yeah yeah I've owned it up well this is government data from their compiled from what governments give so that's you know it's only as good as its data

2:38:56 It's very interesting. Nationmaster.com, it's fun to look at that just parse stuff So yeah while we may be number one when it comes to gun murders We're definitely not number one when it comes to murders There are a lot of other crazy places to be Mexico high on the list Yep Amidst all of the... This is kind of tech news but I won't really call it tech news Where is here? Now I can find it Oh here it is

Noah's Ark Encounter, Kentucky Timber Structure

The "Ark Encounter," a full-scale timber replica of Noah's Ark, opened in Williamstown, Kentucky. Built by Amish craftsmen for over $100 million, the structure is seven stories tall and is expected to draw up to two million visitors annually to the region.

noah's ark· ken ham· kentucky· amish· answers in genesis

2:45:38 Yeah, I think so. Okay then let me do mine first because it may not be that good Something's opening up today in Kentucky. I am going to this exhibit. I'm gonna get one of my buddies- You're gonna go to the ARC? Yes! You have to see it to believe it. A new full-scale replica of Noah's Ark called the Ark Encounter is set to open in Williamstown, Kentucky this Thursday It's believed to be the largest timber frame structure in the world and cost more than a hundred million dollars to build I want to bring Ken Ham right now He is president and CEO of Answers In Genesis The ministry that built the ark good to see you sir. Well, it looks beautiful Tell us about it well It is the largest timber frame structure

2:46:15 in the world. It was built by a hundred Amish craftsmen, they did an arc raising instead of a barn raising but it's got 3.3 million board feet of timber and it's build after dimensions in the Bible of Noah's Ark so its one half times length of football field half widths of football field from ground level to roof is seven stories from ground level the top of the bow is 10 stories and research indicates up to 2 million people a year. Just on our research in America alone will come to this, it's going be an incredible economic boost to northern Kentucky impact to the whole state of Kentucky I can't wait to see this thing. Yeah, it sounds fair and people are freaking out about it in that. Oh, everyone's go oh these guys are idiots and they think this day who cares just go look at the thing hang out now if you know was It was Noah a real guy is that? This is the implementation that no really existed he really built built the ark And it really did rain

2:47:12 I don't know. This is before my time and interesting to have Amish everybody does have a rain it took me a second i'll give you a plus one barely before your time uh having amish people build it I don't know. It's just very strange and then how should they be funny if they had some huge flooding in the area and a boat floated off And then ended up in the ocean or something What was it? Wasn't that a Jim Carrey movie that already is, the guy built it and then Yeah, so maybe people do these like a dam broke or something and there but check this out looking at the answersandgenesis.org website

2:47:56 They had a matching gift goal of $33 million. Yay! I don't know why, it's always interesting... Why would they do that? I gotta look at this out. But I need to see this thing. The video is phenomenal Yes it's very attractive but then they have the cock and bull story about the earth being 6,000 years old and they got dinosaurs in some of the cages I love it. I love it all, just as good as any other story. Yeah that's good stuff! I'd definitely go see if I was anywhere near there. If I ever pass by, I'm going. Apparently two football fields long from what I heard is like 70 yards high. He said a football field and half. Alright what's your final clip sir?

Afghanistan Troop Levels, Obama War Policy

President Obama announced that 8,400 U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan through the end of the year, reversing previous plans to cut the force in half. The hosts argue the continued presence is primarily intended to protect poppy fields rather than combat Al Qaeda or ISIL.

afghanistan· barack obama· al qaeda· isil· poppy fields

2:48:51 Afghanistan after eight years of promises we're gonna get out, we're gonna get out. We're not getting out. And you can actually take that to the bank again. You'd take that to the bank he said Our nation's longest war just got longer. The Obama administration had hoped to cut the number of U.S. service personnel in Afghanistan, currently at 10,000, in half by the end of this year but today the president said increased threats will put the number at 8400 We have to deal with realities as it is and we can't forget what's at stake in Afghanistan This is where Al Qaeda is trying to regroup

2:49:30 This is where ISIL continues to try to expand its presence. If these terrorists succeed in regaining areas and camps where they can train and plot, They will attempt more attacks against us. Oh, yeah? We cannot allow that to happen Yeah, like what attacks have we ever had from the Afghanis? No no you don't you don't have to go into a bit You know some anger issues here this guy's a douche he lied He lied about doing it he lied about closing Gitmo He lied about this is the last thing I will do the last thing I will take that to the bank Not gonna do it And it's so odd because he lowered the amount by, was it 1200? What does that even mean? It means us guys guard the poppy fields and they can maybe use locals. This is all about the poppy fields! Yes... That's all you need for poppies really we only need 8400 guys protected and you're good to go. The firepower they've got nobody's gonna mess with the poppies

2:50:30 So we do not know what Sunday will bring, but for sure there will be something going on that we will have time to deconstruct because you support us in that manner. Not just with information... Inside information! People who work at places who know and have standing Artwork, jingles Clips And of course financial support To allow us to do this and We appreciate that highly That's right everybody And of course I'm gonna plow through two and a half million words just to see if there's any fun stuff in there, and I'll even take on this Chinese organ harvesting report. The slaughter. I'll use the search engine. Okay you do that...and until then!

Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch Tarmac Meeting

The show concludes with a discussion of the private meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix. Despite claims that they only discussed grandkids, the meeting fueled conspiracy theories regarding the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton.

2:51:17 And remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA coming to you from the skyscraper, the crackpot condo in downtown Austin-Dejas, FEMA Region 6 In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where i haven't seen the sun since the first of July as usual in California it's getting cold...I'm John C. Dvorak and we'll see right here on Sunday On no agenda Adios mofos We're going to Orlando next week. One of the issues that concerns me, Jake... That's where they're going? Isn't that good enough for you? No what is good enough for me is it's not a game Jake this is whether or not we continue That's what I'm trying do and when we do that Jake You gonna have a lot of enthusiasm Wolf! Wolf! I am sorry I'm looking at the sign over there Do you have confidence in the way... Look all I can tell you is So you think they should go over? Look Jake your asking questions What do I know? Hey now yall Can we just get real

2:52:17 Do we really care about our fans or is this just another deal? Said another way that we lost our way Social's about the people, remember We are people. Do you really need another like fan or share? Do we need another post to show up everywhere I hope as we scatter that we never forget That our posts live forever even when we go to bed So connect with me and have some fun Let's shove our butts in social Social, with social media find our fans Let's get social, let's get social, let's get social, let's get social, let's get social media

2:53:25 Give it up, Mary McCoy! So we're going to lose control of the debate. Yeah, I can't comment on that for you. To the State Department and to the FBI. Can't comment on that for you. USA News doesn't want me doing it. Yeah, I can't comment. Questions to the State Department... All US agencies were convicted of the I.O.U. The questions to the state is where all US agencies were all USA menace can I just don't have a copy? Where all US agencies were all USA agency people So we're gonna leave it Questions to the states and comment on that are so essay-mish They, State people refuse to comment on the FBI refused to comment they were in uniform and then refused to comment on none of them

2:54:19 We're going to leave it. Refuse to comment on them. No, no they refer... They refuse to comment on them. No, no they referred... They refused to comment on them. No, no they referred the questions to the State Department and FBI. There's a need for rescue mission when the world is threatened, when the world needs help, it calls on America. And that's the story. Even even even even Republicans on the other side don't really know what the guy's talking about. And could we take him at their word? Listen, we're talking about our grandkids and he's asking me about my husband. Could that possibly be true? The most obvious explanation and probably the right one is Bill Clinton is a really social guy A lot of conspiracy theories that somehow this was Bill Clinton talking to Loretta Lynch about clearing Hillary Clinton

2:55:15 I think the issue is, again what is my role in how that matter is going to be resolved? And so let me be clear on how that is gonna be resolved. The former president steps into her plane they then speak for 30 minutes privately the FBI there on the tarmac instructing everybody around no photos, no pictures, no cell phones They happen to be at same tarmac at same time A lot of conspiracy theories. And could we take him that they're worthless and we're talking about our grandkids, and he's asking me about my husband? Could that possibly be true? Hey man fist bump Adios mofo In the morning then...Bastard
