About this episode

Turkish troops and civilians have surrounded the Incirlik Air Base as President Erdogan alleges NATO and U.S. involvement in the recent coup attempt. The standoff at the nuclear-armed facility coincides with the dismissal of U.S. Generals Joseph Votel and David Haight, fueling claims of CIA interference in Turkish domestic affairs. Meanwhile, in Texas, a fatal hot air balloon crash in Lockhart prompts a review of aviation safety and the inherent risks of controlled crashing.

Democratic National Convention speakers including General John Allen and Jennifer Granholm utilized high-energy, wrestling-style promos to drown out Bernie Sanders supporters and the DemExit movement. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver praised Hillary Clinton’s resilience while media analysts Joy Reid and Chris Matthews debated the party's shift toward a professional managerial class. Reports from the floor indicate the DNC utilized paid seat fillers and coordinated counter-chants to maintain optics, while RT correspondent Gaia Chichakyan challenged State Department spokesperson John Kirby over civilian casualties in Syria. In Florida, the first local transmissions of the Zika virus in Miami-Dade County have triggered a massive $1.9 billion federal funding push.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast from an Airstream trailer in the Texas Hill Country, offering a de-douching of German podcast producers and a critique of Panera Bread’s clean food rebranding. The duo analyzes the phonetic power of the name Trump and examines viral footage of Hillary Clinton’s balloon reaction and robotic speech cadence. Sir John of Murfreesboro receives a knighthood as the show concludes with a deep dive into Thomas Jefferson’s history with mac and cheese.

You got it slanted Exactly And the acoustics are better than my studio at home for some reason

01:42 They always okay. I've never noticed this but yeah, I get a lot of comments apparently sound better in there Yes you sound so much better today in the air stream consciousness I Guess and my voice is meant to be listened to in a trailer Yeah for all the no agenda listeners But we also we we picked an interesting time to drive out here We are probably three miles from Lockhart Texas Which is where that balloon came down yesterday. Oh three miles yeah, you know it's right around so he could almost got hit no What a day wrecker that is huh? Balloon those things are dangerous

CHAPTER 02 / 51 Discussion

Hot Air Balloon Safety, Controlled Crashing, Lockhart Accident

The hosts discuss the inherent dangers of hot air ballooning following a fatal crash in Lockhart, Texas. Personal anecdotes are shared regarding balloon rides in Napa Valley and the Swiss Alps, describing landings as "controlled crashing." Preliminary theories regarding the Lockhart incident suggest a propane explosion may have been the cause.

hot air balloon· lockhart· napa valley· ntsb· propane explosion

02:24 Yeah, I've been in a balloon three times in my life and not a single time did I feel very comfortable. The last time after I had my pilot's license at that point...I really didn't feel comfortable! I had been in a balloon twice and wasn't comfortable the first time, and then I'd come... The thing is one of those Napa Valley balloon rides. Yeah, yeah, I've done that one. It doesn't even land right it just hits kind of sideways and bounces and bounces and bounces. Landing into balloons is known as controlled crashing is what that is. Yes! Unless which happened to me you get a ride with the National

03:05 balloon champion, world class guy. Oh yeah they know how to dab in Switzerland. So we go out and go up as high as 10000 feet. Did you do that? Oh yeah home is so did they have oxygen I 10000 you can still breathe now your final 10000 feet but what's interesting is this guy can I don't know he looks at the mountains and he can visualize to how to drive this thing. So he goes through a certain altitude and he knows it's going to push him west, then he drops to another altitude and it knows is gonna push himself. He just sees this... But that's what all balloon pilots do! Yeah not to this extreme. No no he'll go maybe you know 10-20 feet and they'll catch a different

03:55 Airstream and then he'll float the you can actually go like East and all sudden you're going West these guys do know what they're doing So he goes so we go into the Alps, and then we come out And then we head toward gestalt and then we go and so there's a spot We're gonna land because one of the guys I was with jumped out of the balloon at about 5,000 feet. What? Yes well he had a parachute on him and parachuted down to the truck that carried the balloon in and he just took off in the truck Wow And uh...to meet us where we're gonna land now this guy's bringing the balloon down to land it I'm saying oh here we go Now he kissed the ground I'll bet

04:35 He not only kissed the ground perfectly and he said, okay don't move. Actually now he was controlling the landing after the landing Right So we're all...He's down it's flat nothing was the damnedest thing you've ever seen just lands it boom nothing so okay Don't move And then he says, okay now you... and he gets points to one of there's three of us in there. He says okay you can get out get out here and then a guy gets on the thing just maybe just wiggles a little bit and it gets everybody out this way because he didn't want the balloon to move an inch right? Right! Now we all got out and then he just deflated the thing and that was that I would say, now if all balloon rides are like that... Hey go for it. But i don't think-I've never noticed that this is not the norm. But I think what happened and there's no preliminary yet from NTSB but it appears that their propane exploded

CHAPTER 03 / 51 Discussion

Cirrus Aircraft Parachutes, Austin Sixth Street Shooting

A discussion of aviation safety focuses on Cirrus aircraft equipped with ballistic parachutes, with claims that they may breed pilot complacency. The conversation shifts to a recent active shooter event on Sixth Street in Austin, Texas. One person was killed and four wounded, leading to international concern from friends and family of the hosts.

cirrus aircraft· ballistic parachute· austin· sixth street· active shooter

05:30 That's all that's why that gag was I didn't know that because somebody was pointing out They had a screenshot of the story, and there was a propane advertise Wow hey they're getting real that artificial intelligence machine learning is working out great isn't it? Yes, yes some the machine read that article and sell the word propane It's horrible yeah so you know that's but we've also seen like the Cirrus which is the carbon fiber single-engine aircraft that has a ballistic parachute, you know which I'm kind of against that because it I think it breeds complacency like if I run out of gas I can always pull the chute and this one guy pulled the chute when his engine was on fire now what you are supposed to do is You're supposed to go into a dive To try any other certain levers your pole and you open up your ducts And you try to basically blow the flames out

06:29 He didn't do that, he pulled his chute and they burned up while floating down to earth. That's stupid! Ah yes... Another day wrecker. And then last night there was for a moment an active shooter on 6th Street in Austin. Can you believe that? One person killed, four wounded... He got out of town! Yeah but what's interesting is I woke up this morning and I must have had 10 text messages from people overseas. You okay?! Are you okay?? Yeah... People hear of a shooter I think... One guy, the likelihood of it being you is almost zero. How many people live in that town? Yeah but i'm just saying that's what people are concerned about. But that also shows you when people hear stuff like this. You know 6th Street and Austin on a Saturday night A lot of stuff happens there This is not a good one of course

CHAPTER 04 / 51 Discussion

Incirlik Air Base, Turkey Coup Allegations, NATO Tensions

Turkish troops and civilians have reportedly surrounded the Incirlik Air Base, which houses U.S. forces and nuclear weapons. President Erdogan has alleged that NATO and the U.S. were involved in the recent coup attempt. The hosts examine claims of CIA and FBI involvement and the dismissal of U.S. Generals Joseph Votel and David Haight.

incirlik air base· turkey· recep tayyip erdogan· nato· cia

07:24 So, yeah. So I'm okay but forget all that. Although severely underreported currently there are about 7000 Turkish troops and civilians surrounding Incirlik air base in Turkey which is where we are with the US forces on that base Oh, this would be good. No it's not gonna be good and but the civilians they're all antsy and crazy and there's like this video coming through now And they're all standing around and maybe we should rush to base which seems like a very bad idea Rushed to base Wow But you know right now We have Erdogan saying hey

08:11 What's up NATO? NATO was led by the US, was responsible for this coup. That is what he is now saying I told you this wasn't over This is not Erdogan doing it himself I didn't get a clip of this but RT went with some guy who's some expert or somebody big but they say that now the claim is it was a combo effort between the CIA and the FBI as soon as they ran that story which I didn't clip because it was too long. I said Adam! What's your story? Well so okay, what I understand and you know they have thrown let's see...

08:54 Okay, so what I understand this was as we kind of already expected a CIA based operation and we know that of course because they run Fatoula Gulen who is sitting up there in the Poconos. Now it's...I still think it was CIA with a warning well It was a warning shot let's just say it was CIA But there's this...let me see US General has been kicked out Let's see that's Joseph Foto and then the EUCOM general David Haight, H-A-I-G-H-T. He has been just kicked out of the military for allegations he had misused government resources while having an extramarital affair so they don't... none of the stories talk about the misuse of government resources but the extramarital affair? Oh yeah you're out! So I'm sure that there were operatives within

09:56 are a military who participated in this. But it's obviously odd when Turkey is a NATO country and Erdogan is now saying, hey NATO's not my friend they're attacking us! So we can be all upset about Trump and Hillary Clinton but I don't think this is a couple of weeks John these civilians are in their cars just circled around the whole base which has nukes of course So no one's gonna come onto that base. We won't let that happen, but this feels a little tinderbox-ish if you don't mind me saying. Well nobody was playing anything including the strike that was reported in most of the European... another round of these strikes in Syria just more or less killed nothing but civilians and I think you played this clip before

CHAPTER 05 / 51 Discussion

Gaia Chichakyan, State Department Journalism, Matt Lee

The hosts discuss RT correspondent Gaia Chichakyan and her persistent questioning of State Department officials. A social media interaction involving journalist Matt Lee and former spokesperson Marie Harf is mentioned. Plans for a meeting between the hosts and Lee in Austin are proposed.

10:54 Or this is incorporated clip you played before was incorporating. This one was pretty good, but this is from our team It's Gaia and ah yes We love guy and by the way I got desert I got a ISO You can play this is to probably pronounce this woman's name that we keep talking about my nature chicken I went a little try it again.

No because we well i've been tweeting him for awhile and someone actually tweeted him said hey man don't you miss Marie Harf

11:44 And one of our people. And he replied saying, oh yeah more than you know and so I came back and said, aww man you guys made such a cute couple! Beautiful. We had already agreed that we would have a beer if you came to Austin. Well you've just been upgraded to beer & barbecue How do we get, how do we get on that topic? Maybe you'll come to Austin one of these days. Oh he will! I don't see any reason why... No he will, yeah he will, he will, he will. Of course he will and then i then i'll get the inside scoop on Gaia That's right exactly what I'm thinking about That's all I care about, I don't care about the State Department You're gussing with him I want to talk about Gaia

CHAPTER 06 / 51 Discussion

Civilian Casualty Calculus, US Airstrikes, Michael Maloof

Reports indicate the U.S. military uses a specific "calculus" to determine acceptable civilian casualties during airstrikes, with one official citing a limit of 50 lives to destroy an ISIL cash vault. Former Pentagon official Michael Maloof claims these policies persist because they lack mainstream media coverage. The hosts criticize the transparency of the State Department regarding these deaths.

pentagon· civilian casualties· isil· michael maloof· state department

12:25 Idea now do you have a guy at Chichicon? Do you have a clip from her that we're gonna play here. I do, I have Let's see what it says Guy and pronounced for grand with too many clips yeah I agree. It has to do with the bombing, 50 civilian deaths is okay? Ah yes this was the calculus that they made how many civilians would die within this press conference that has Kirby going off on Guyana again One official telling CNN the U.S was willing to risk up to 50 civilian casualties in this area, to get the building, to destroy the building

13:08 Well the building mentioned was said to be an ISIL cash vault in Iraq Following reports the Pentagon was prepared to risk civilian lives. The State Department admitted there was a certain quote calculus involved They did not give any further details Former Pentagon official Michael Maloof believes are the policies allowed to happen because not enough people know it exists Not enough people know it exists Was this guy I had clipped the whole thing obviously. I do have the clip of Guy and I don't know where that's not there The guy makes the claim he's Maloof He's an ex-Pentagon or State Department guy, and he says nobody knows Nobody's really talked about this on the mainstream media So they don't know it exists so they can't put any pressure on the government to stop it because of essentially Yeah It's for all practical purposes a

14:02 We can kill a bunch of civilians and it's just tough. Too bad! No, but even... no it is better than that. We calculated we might kill some civilians Yes I did Up to 50 are acceptable they said Well of course they're just humans Yeah, what about the other? Please. It's when do we care? Where is the other clip let me see if I can find it. A Gaia Clip... Let me see what i got here.. I do have a kind of a-it might actually be good to start it off but I need to talk about something else Do you have that other Gaia Clip? You have it? I'm looking Okay Well you play this one in the meantime This is a clip from The Convention

CHAPTER 07 / 51 Discussion

Emanuel Cleaver, DNC Preaching, Hillary Clinton Resilience

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver delivered a rhythmic, sermon-style speech at the Democratic National Convention. He used the refrain "she won't stay throwed" to describe Hillary Clinton's political resilience throughout her career. The hosts analyze the performance style and its reception by the convention audience.

emanuel cleaver· dnc· hillary clinton· democratic national convention· preacher

14:41 I mean, you look while you're playing this. This is a clip from the convention and nobody really played that big it's apparently...I think if i'm not mistaken I have it in my notes somewhere see if I got this guy's name in here I have a lot of notes. I got another note thing to do. Emanuel Cleaver, yeah there's Emanuel Cleaver or Clever and he is one of those...I don't know that they knew he was a preacher? I think he's a congressman or something or it's one of those state representatives they pulled those guys out of the woodwork for this convention you know these state assemblywoman for Arizona Assembly kind of thing and this guy was one of them

15:21 I don't know that they knew he was a preacher because he does this preaching thing which is very formulaic black preacher and he ain't easy talking very normally until it gets to the end. And this is what he goes into and nobody's really played this clip at all while you were talking, I was trying to figure out which clip it is. I cannot find it. Oh, I'm sorry she won't stay throwed. Ah okay gotcha. And that baby grew up created a tumult They put him in a grave and three days later, the world knew he wouldn't stay through. Now here's a warning to those who might be tempted to spend the next four years trying to knock Hillary Clinton down you better get ready for woman who won't stay through!

16:13 They threw her down as the first lady, but she didn't stay through. They threw her down as a U.S. senator, but she wouldn't stay through! They threw her down as the Secretary of State, but she wouldn't stay through! They threw her down in this very campaign—this campaign—but she won't stay through! No, she ain't gonna stay through! She won't stay through! She won't stay through! You better listen to me, I said she won't! Stay through. Damn... Yeah, I did see him.

CHAPTER 08 / 51 Discussion

Syria Airstrikes, John Kirby, State Department Press Relations

Syria's foreign ministry has urged the United Nations to condemn U.S.-led airstrikes that reportedly killed 45 civilians. State Department spokesperson John Kirby expressed irritation when questioned about these casualties by Gaia Chichakyan. The hosts characterize Kirby's management style as condescending and dismissive of press inquiries.

syria· united nations· john kirby· barbara starr· civilian deaths

17:00 I'm sure when they read it, they read the speech. Oh of course! It reads very different when you put it in a sedentary voice. Yeah oh yeah absolutely. But I have that clip by the way. US air strikes on Thursday. Ah here we go Syria's foreign ministry has urged the United Nations to condemn US-led airstrikes on Thursday, which it says left 45 civilians dead and 50 injured. In a letter sent to the UN, Syria compared the bombings to atrocities committed by Islamic State You know, I just noticed something as i'm listening to that. We've become so...I will say somewhat desensitized That when you hear 45 dead you're like oh man but then you hear 50 wounded whatever Whereas these 50 wounded could have their heads hanging by a thread

17:52 We're so I did you do you have that like 50 wounded, yeah But you don't really think about what those wounds are. So it's no you think they're the lucky ones Yes on a town held ISIL came less than two weeks after another coalition air strike is said to have killed dozens of civilians Here's Guyanay Chichikian. Again, this is US reaction to the latest strike on Thursday. On Wednesday the US said there was sufficient credible evidence of civilian deaths in another strike which the U S carried out last Monday also near the city of Mon Beach it reportedly killed dozens so the us is now investigating civilian casualties in a number of u s strikes in Syria that happened in less than two weeks last week when I asked the State Department whether the US thought

18:54 the strike in Monbeach last Monday was a mistake. State Department's John Kirby seemed visibly irritated with my question. The US strike that reportedly killed around 20 civilians in the ISIL-held city of Monbeach, Syria – was it a mistake? on Monday. That's another great accusatory question you've asked here no other military works as hard as ours none, no other military in the world to prevent civilian casualties and when they happen again I'll say it again because apparently didn't sink in the first time when happens we investigate it fully and completely and then were transparent about it and then we take lessons learned and try to prevent from happening again just to be clear one

19:35 Is one too many while State Department's John Kirby says the US views one civilian casualty as too many We see reports from Syria saying u.s Strikes killed dozens the us acknowledges that the strikes happened It is now assessing how many civilians it estimates may have died in those strikes So we played parts of those clips, I think it was two shows ago since you brought her back up let me play the Barbara Starr, who's from CNN the Pentagon reporter. I think this is it when this is what she reported in January or February one official telling CNN the US was willing to risk up to 50 civilian casualties in this area to get the building to destroy the building though It was known

20:24 We didn't catch that back in the day, I have to say. No. But Kirby is such a dick! There's a million ways he can play it. Of course he is, he's super dick. He plays like he was Navy Admiral and he... although I don't know how much D.D. he actually... He was the spokeshole for... he was in public affairs. He was the spokeshole for DOD He has this kind of, I've run into this. You run into bosses there's different ways of doing management and one of the things you can do the most irritating is these kinds of bosses that say stuff like

21:04 I guess it didn't sink in. Oh yeah, that's very annoying. Crazy accusations! I remember one of these boss types when i was working for a living and they do stuff that was just... For some reason it was always galling when they put something at the bottom like at the end of like a memo would say A word to The Wise. That kind of thing Yeah And that's what Kirby is he's one of those guys And he's not the boss of them which is even worse those guys It's done. Just you have to be a 24-hour dick Show title show title 24 hour dick let me write that down now we have a lot to discuss about you know the last evening of the DNC, but there's I just wanted to bring something up and

CHAPTER 09 / 51 Discussion

Donald Trump, Blue Collar Builder, Elite Social Circles

The hosts analyze Donald Trump's public persona as a "builder" from Queens rather than a member of the traditional wealthy elite. They argue that his gruff demeanor and communication style resonate with blue-collar workers and contractors. Michael Bloomberg's criticism of Trump is framed as the rejection of a "rich" person by the "wealthy" establishment.

donald trump· michael bloomberg· queens· construction· blue collar

21:59 I know you'll get it and you have to help me explain it because not everyone has had the experiences we have. But, I was watching Trump... And uh..I don't even think I clipped this cause' it was on TV everywhere where he did his press conference and said You know what? Everywhere I go I hear people say lock her up and uh..You know I said first let's beat her in November but now I'm starting to agree with you The gloves are off! What do ya say people?! The gloves are off!! I'm sure you saw that. Yeah, I did see that and when...I was watching him and then it hit me maybe i'm late to the party maybe this is very obvious to everybody but now all I know this guy then I'll explain John you've been in fact when I came back uh to Europe in 1999 just before the Y2K

22:51 For a while there, you know I was the prodigal son. I had no I had you know I've taken a company public and oh I was the guru and I remember reading about you in I mean, we met in 92 or 93 but I was in Europe floating around. And I think it may have been passing through Holland but I was reading about you around 2000 in a newspaper article about how... It was unbelievable! I said what? It was like you'd turned into this superstar entrepreneur Or yeah, you on some computer or something it was on and on I think the most fawning piece. I've ever read I said wow I'm kind of I didn't realize this guy You know because you move back to Europe you're in the United States for a while Yeah And I said holy crap I should get ahold of this guy yeah Which is I think kinda how we met and I remember very very well what you said to me the first time Hey man? What's your deal?

23:51 What do you, what do you? No wait! Wait wait wait no way. I remember it exactly Hey man what's your deal are you a rich or people hate you for no good reason uh-huh something like that well that's how it came across sure It doesn't really matter Well I can imagine how it came across Well anyway so for that for a couple years there I was kind of invited into the elite circles in the Netherlands. And when I say elite, I mean very wealthy people not saying rich, I'm talking wealthy people. Yeah big difference Yes and politicians and those go hand-in-hand it was a very very creepy to see him when you're like some rich dude's house and there's the Prime Minister is on a 10 speed bike driving through his house. I mean this odd things that i've seen

24:44 And that's really when I first started to realize, oh man this is effed up here at the top. So for a while I was there and so we'd attend functions or parties whatever and... ...I know that you have met this type of person A rich person not wealthy, rich now rich can be 100 million dollars That's not wealthy that just rich But a lot of these rich people who were at these parties Would you like they started a supermarket chain now? They had 50 supermarkets or 100. They started as sportswear clothing company Or they had construction companies and these people are

25:29 they are accepted into these elite circles but they're never really accepted only because they have money. And after a while, you know from the outside it looks like they're just a part of it but these people are typically very gruff... Yes and I'm gonna interrupt for a second That's what I need to do because you know what I'm saying right? This is this is what Bloomberg And I do have the Bloomberg thing clipped. Yes, yes. I don't know if we played it or not Do you have it for today? It was in the last show did you look at all fine when you talk I'll find it and Bloomberg This is exactly what Bloomberg who is wealthy

26:10 And he's a mogul and he has all these things going on in a certain kind of wealthy way as opposed to just rich A-hole. This is exactly what Bloomberg accused Trump off! He said that Trump is hated by all the other billionaires, they hate him they don't even know who he is, he's meaningless And of course they know who he is, but that's... They allow these guys in because they have often it's media connections. You know sometimes they're a little exciting They are the ones that have the crazy-ass car The great plane They wear all their wealth on the outside and I'm like my friend Michelle who's in writing you know He has nightclubs. She's got strip clubs and Michelle can barely write

26:58 He can barely read, I mean for all intents. And I say that Michelle you're a complete moron! He said no but i'm good at what I do and I can count. No problem counting and this is what Trump is. When he was up there saying gloves are off This guy is a builder. I went into his history, although it's kind of well known and discussed but when you go back to his grandfather who started in Seattle of all places building hotels and brothels When there was a gold rush you can either be looking for gold or sell the picks and shovels

27:46 formerly Drumpf and at some point Trump and then Trump. You know they are the pick-and-shovels guys, and when you listen to Trump he is a builder He talks like a builder, and the builder is just another construction guy. It's very blue collar except he is the guy that can communicate with contractors and builders are very good at borrowing money and leveraging And that's what he is! That's what he'll always be So no wonder The blue collar workers of America, whether you're in a factory or whether you're in construction. They hear a guy talking like they hear on the building site every single day

28:28 And it may seem completely obvious to everybody but also not realize, oh my god I know this kind of guy. There's always a kind of dark edge and the guys they hang out with is boxing promoters ultimate fighting champion league owners It's their people who they hang out with. Yeah it's not hanging out with the Boeing CEO No but from the outside all we see And the way he's being portrayed is this incredibly rich, a-hole crazy guy where really he's the kid that... okay. He certainly did not come from a poor family but not a wealthy family and his dad built up

29:13 all these apartment buildings in Coney Island and Queens. And he said, I'm going to go try my luck in Manhattan so he's really a builder boy from Queens who made it big in Manhattan and he does what all these types of guys do...and then I know I'm not denigrating this type of person but if he shows his wealth on the outside is what he does is what he likes but There, I think a large majority... not just the majority but a LARGE MAJORITY of the United States is like him. And all we're hearing is the elitist media from the coast

29:51 who of course don't understand him. They didn't grow up under... I only understand it because i've met so many people like him and just hit me like, oh I know! You know? I haven't been a builder or in construction yet some are job maybe here there but so you can recognize it but that is something got to keep in mind and I think thats The danger is that if I don't know if there's a danger, but it's Danger at all no But not not a danger But I think there's a danger to the Clinton campaign If they don't if they don't really fully grasp this which I don't think they do They may really miss miss the boat because that's why you can't target this guy with calling him names. They don't give a crap about that Don't just don't know yeah, so I kind of had to preface that because once you keep that in mind It's like oh okay

CHAPTER 10 / 51 Discussion

Thomas Frank, Democratic Party Leadership, Class Shift

Author Thomas Frank's analysis of the Democratic Party suggests a shift away from the working class toward a professional managerial class. The hosts discuss how the party leadership now identifies with affluent, highly educated suburbanites rather than traditional union workers. This transition is cited as a reason for the party's disconnect from its historical base.

30:41 But even wealthy people have this, I'll call it an affliction. Like i'm sure your buddy Hearst to a degree is like this. There's a... who's a democrat by the way? Well there's that yeah well I think traditionally blue-collar workers have been democrats Well, Hearst is not a blue-collar worker. No but I'm just saying that you know the people were talking traditionally Blue-collar workers have been Democrats because the Democrats supported the unions But once as we played that clip sometime about a month ago The guy wrote that book about what happened to the liberals and you know? Liberal politicians they're all white car They're all in for the white collar there and for the guys who work at the banks are on You know your banker then we're for you was that Thomas Thomas Frank was that the guy oh

31:30 It may be. The Democratic Party, the sort of leadership faction of the Democratic Party isn't really at their core bothered by inequality they think that to a certain degree it reflects the way things ought to be This is because the Democratic Party isn't, the leadership of the Democratic Party is not who we think they are. It's a different group of people serving a different agenda than what their brand identity tells us they are. And you describe them as pretty much the opposite of the working class, the blue-collar workers in this country? Yeah that's not who they're interested in anymore

32:06 I mean once upon a time say the Franklin Roosevelt, you know Lyndon Johnson or something like that. Yes absolutely That's what the Democratic Party was about they were about the middle class of this country today They are about the professional managerial highly educated white-collar affluent suburban That's who they identify with. They've sort of developed this enormous literature talking about how this class of people is the pinnacle of history, you know? This is also the class that they themselves are drawn from. You know, they talk about these people all the time and see that this group of winners is the ultimate number one democratic constituency, they think

Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton Cadence, Robotic Speeches

The hosts critique Chelsea Clinton's DNC speech, describing it as robotic and potentially influenced by anti-anxiety medication. An audio mix is played to demonstrate that Hillary Clinton uses an identical, rehearsed cadence across different interviews and speeches. They argue this consistency suggests a lack of authenticity.

chelsea clinton· hillary clinton· dnc· paxil· speech cadence

32:48 class of people deserves to be where they are. almost sedentary. It was kind of boring, it's very boring she went into her that that kind of weird look that she puts on what she gives her stilted speech and if we can play another clip that's a past clip not this is a clip show if you can play the clip then this Is one of the, if you can find it. I should ask for it do you have the clip where she's talking over herself and at the same time? What would you have titled that? That's your clip! You're the one who made it up. She's talking over herself?! Oh the mix okay... The mix now while you're looking for that let me set it up

33:42 I was actually astonished by this particular clip because and you heard it again when she gave her speech at the keynote. And what was funny as a, as an, I don't know if I have any clips worth playing but Chelsea Clinton gave us speech that was so robotic Yeah. and slow moving and in fact they took some notes on it She's...and she do a couple of..I think I do have a Chelsea clip Maybe we should play this thing. She says Constantly referring to her mother. She's and mom never ever And she'd say never Ever and she saved in a very robotic like way, and she do it over and over I know I first picked it up about the third or fourth time She said Never ever as it was you know some I don't know what the point of it was to be honest about it. It makes Chelsea clip here Sorry um I'm still see never going here yeah my hair says Chesie. I got never I got how does she do it?

34:37 Never ever. She is, this was everyone oh Chelsea was so great Listen to the thing audio don't look at her and it's so slow. Let's listen again. Let us listen again I think she's on Paxil to be honest about it, sorry There's certain things you can use. You're not used to talking to a monstrous crowd, the doctors can give you drugs and it sounds to me that this is Paxil. How does she do it? How does she keep going amid the sound and the fury of politics? Here's how

35:31 It's because she never ever forgets who she is fighting for. Yeah, it's interesting you say that because she seemed... yeah, she was either very calm and very good at it Because it's hard to be calm when you're doing that kind of a speech. But, I don't know... Paxil? Is that what you say? Paxil? Yeah, I think Paxil is the one that's recommended. Yeah, I think I have the ISO mix of the two Hillarys. Okay, now explain- wait stop! Stop stop stop stop! Let's-I didn't get to finish the explanation. This is 2 different speeches

36:07 that Adam, because of this cadence thing that Hillary has she's very robotic just like her daughter apparently is who has been trained and these are two different speeches that Adam has taken and just overlaid one over the other. This is not a echo effect this is no-this is these 2 separate things put together I don't know if I have the long one but this is the short one so you can hear her tagline yeah here we go I have faith in the American people that they will make the right choice here That's two different interviews with exactly the same cadence. Exactly the same cadence. The same stuff between the words, the same spacing is outrageous I did pick just a short little thing here that I want to play since we're talking about these people being robots This more proof that Hillary is not a human

CHAPTER 12 / 51 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, No Sweat Claim, Balloon Reaction

A clip from 2015 features Hillary Clinton claiming that she does not sweat, which the hosts use to joke about her being a robot. They also discuss her exaggerated reaction to the balloon drop at the DNC, labeling it a calculated performance for cameras and memes.

hillary clinton· robot· balloons· dnc· memes

37:00 Uh, hold on. Okay here we go. We need Hillary Clinton because she doesn't sleep She doesn't sweat sweep? She doesn't sleep Oh she doesn't... doesn't sleep No we know she doesn't sweat! We know that she does not sweat And apparently she doesn't sleep either come on robot Actually, we have that proof here. What's the weirdest thing about you? The weirdest thing about me is that I don't sweat there you go She admits it it's from geez that's from October 15 19 to 2015 That's how long ago We actually had a clip of it yeah Yeah, we knew about a lot longer than that well there was of course a lot of fawning and fun

37:54 fun stuff after the closing of the Democratic convention. Oh, and by the way everyone saw the gifs and memes with the Clintons with balloons and of course where Hillary does that crazy look Yeah, that was wild. Well no it's not it's you just have to take into consideration she was putting on an act the entire time because if you're an adult and You're running for president And you're at your convention and balloons fall down you are not actually that surprised oh No, you know what's happening? You know do you know they're coming down and That face she made is because she's like we're children

CHAPTER 13 / 51 Discussion

DNC Media Coverage, Lisa Desjardins, Bernie Supporters

Media analysts from NPR and PBS discuss the issue of trust regarding Hillary Clinton's candidacy. The hosts report on the suppression of Bernie Sanders supporters at the convention, alleging that delegates were locked out or silenced. They clarify that rumored "white noise machines" were actually Wi-Fi repeaters.

npr· pbs newshour· lisa desjardins· bernie sanders· dnc

38:44 So it was all an act as far as I'm concerned and and what is Bill doesn't even hold her hand He he clasps her wrist or something just like don't leave. Hold on They're not even holding hands It's a farce It is a farce. Total farce! A farce, it's the perfect word. Now let's play a couple of clips with analysis from your mainstream media this is NPR I believe this is Lisa Desjardins who was the new The new kid on the block when it comes to political reporting for PBS NewsHour. NPR was doing a joint deal with him on this? Yeah, they got a joint going on and this dropped! Lisa let's follow up on that whole question of trust It is not just likeability it is trust And as Juana says majority of Americans polls show don't actually trust her

39:41 Can she convince them otherwise? Did she go some way to convincing them last night, or is she just sort of leaving that issue on the table and attacking on a different front. I think they are nodding toward that issue there really recognize that issue but what the Democrats have been doing with this convention Hillary Clinton was trying to do last night was to change the question you know to ask a different question and several questions one of them the largest one probably was national security and we saw from republicans on twitter reacting saying i'm hearing things in this speech tonight i'm hearing about patriotism here but the founding fathers i'm hearing a vision for america that reminds me of the way we used to talk uh... dick cheney's former spokesperson said he was in his kitchen crying wondering how am I weeping at a speech by hillary clinton he said what has happened to my party

40:29 I like that one though. That was some pretty good propaganda right there! I can see Cheney crying my ass. Well it's Cheney, it was Cheney's... It wasn't Cheney, it was Cheney's PR personnel, was it? I found that this the in fact Mark Shields I believe said it was disgusting the last day of the convention because it was all these but there were literally waving flags they had millions and And they were mostly actors because they refused to let the Bernie people back into the convention. They wouldn't let anyone walk out, and not only that... The doors! They locked them in if there was a fire there would have been deaths. So they turned off the lights in the auditorium where Bernie supporters had left but they also had white noise machines behind those sections did you see? No we've looked at that Oh that wasn't no white noise machine? That was a Wi-Fi repeater

41:25 Okay, I went to look at it good. Good good. I'm going to look at the real and those are actually have one of those antennas And I know exactly what they I thought I went to look at white noise generators They're all okay bigger and their round okay alright good then We're cool on that it takes a couple big speakers to make them work But the disdain from the media towards the Bernie supporters was separate democracy now Well, let's play that first and then I'll play Did you have something? Yeah. I got a couple of things here This should be the one no no no hey, I'll start off and then yeah, you players are digging okay So here's Don Lemon

CHAPTER 14 / 51 Discussion

Don Lemon, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, CNN Overnight

CNN's Don Lemon criticized Bernie Sanders supporters for being "rude" in Hillary Clinton's "house." During an late-night broadcast, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog appeared behind Lemon, mocking the "political dream team" panel. The hosts ridicule Lemon's self-importance and his position as an "overnight legend" at the network.

don lemon· cnn· triumph the insult comic dog· bernie sanders· dnc

42:09 But I have two clips from Don Lemon. He not only, because he has a couple of Bernie supporters and pretty much across the board you saw mainstream reporting saying well you guys should shut up! Hillary was your nominee so you should shut up! It's telling everyone to shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, you gotta shut up, shut up! Shut up Slade! And here's what Lemon said, channeling our current president while he was doing it. Have some dignity if you come to someone else's house show some respect I was thinking the same thing about Bernie Sanders supporters tonight If you didn't feel like this is your party why come to the party? Come to the party if you come into my house

42:49 Don't be rude. My house? Yeah, but if 43% of the house is there... It doesn't matter no that's not the case The nominee No, it was nominee is Hillary Clinton And you're going to Hillary Clinton's party tonight So get on board with Hillary Clinton or be quiet If I invite you my house sit on a couch have some drinks But don't come in my house telling me that the drapery is ugly That's how your So where have we heard that you're in my house before? Hey, listen. Hey! You're in my house. Hey! Shame on ya! Shame on ya!

43:28 Wow. Yeah, I'll give you a clip of Borderline. And then just for Jolly's, just really for you and me because some of the stuff that said here is so funny because we both agree Don Lemon is really a douche extraordinaire So it's now 2 30 in the morning and he still doing this stupid show I mean, it's crazy. It's like 2 30 in the morning CNN barely gets 300 000 people watching in prime time Okay So he's two two thirty in the morning and he has this panel and you know They're all tired and they're punchy and they're talking over one another And but all of a sudden behind lemon uh

44:11 Triumph the the insult comic dog so here's a big dog. Yeah appears above over his shoulder That's what he calls his panel the political dream team yeah, okay? Don't they lemon that it's a political dream team because only if here's to be a dream team in your dreams Did you watch this speech tonight I watched this speech on Speaking of dreaming, I fell asleep only a couple of times. What's that? It is not the right guy doing his voice. No it is the right guy but he...it was 2 30 for him and then he lost a bit. He lost a lot actually. You know who was really the dream candidate? Who?

44:56 Hillary's dream by they're calling Tim Kaine Hillary's dream vice president because if he talks for 30 seconds But now lemon bees his body language everything and the guys got is the puppet right over his shoulder and the cigar keeps falling on lemon suit, and he's annoyed and pissed off because He's Don Lemon, I tell you. Don Lemon is a serious man! Why do you keep dropping your cigars? There's stuff going on here! Pay attention! Now he's yelling at the crowd Nobody pays attention to Don Lemon! Don Lemon is an old man!

45:39 I love that Don Lemon is an overnight legend. Now, those of us who have worked in radio particularly know that if you're the overnight guy, you're at the bottom of the rung. You're the loser. You're Overnight legend! Oh my god! Lamont, Lamont, Lamont, Lamont, Lamont, Lamont! Calm down. Where's the cigar? Finally you're getting the respect you deserve. Did you have rabies or something what is going on with you? Hey you!

CHAPTER 15 / 51 Discussion

DemExit Movement, Credential Issues, DNC Seat Fillers

The "DemExit" movement, inspired by Brexit, involves Bernie Sanders supporters vowing to leave the Democratic Party. Democracy Now! reported on delegates who were denied credentials or had them revoked during the convention. Claims are made that seats were blocked off for paid actors to ensure a supportive-looking crowd for Hillary Clinton.

demexit· democracy now· bernie sanders· delegates· credentials

46:21 I just thought, okay. Here's the clip this is the Brexit girl there's a new chant which i thought was very creative and there's a girl walking and this is the outside of the convention hall and this was only covered by Democracy Now! My name is Carlos Josieri my sign says Dem Exit and it's basically borrowed from the brexit which we recently saw in Britain This is an idea that has been stirring for awhile among Bernie supporters, which basically has to do with that if Bernie would not get a fair shake at the convention then we vowed to come here as Democrats but to basically leave the party and no longer you know affiliate ourselves with the party after.

47:09 Now there was a number, I lost the rest of this clip but they went on to go through this crowd and i'll tell you couple things that went on. One was everybody was irked about not getting credentialed. One woman went out she said I never got my credentials! I was a Bernie delegate and they'd never let me in ever Oh really? And they kept most of people out and then the ones who did get in they roused them took their credentials away 700 of them at least lost their credentials for the last day during the Hillary thing. And that's beside that little video that was going around, and on Twitter and on Facebook with this girl saying look all these seats are blocked off so we can't sit down they won't let us sit down... You could see it before things started she showed the whole convention center with all these little white sheets on the seats and those are the ones where they were blocked off for actors

CHAPTER 16 / 51 Discussion

General John Allen, DNC Counter-Chants, Petraeus Scandal

General John Allen delivered a high-energy speech at the DNC that the hosts compare to a professional wrestling promo. To drown out "no more war" chants from Bernie supporters, the convention organizers utilized "USA" counter-chants coordinated via cheat sheets. Allen's past involvement in the David Petraeus scandal is also noted.

john allen· dnc· isis· david petraeus· counter-chants

48:00 Yeah. And then she did you now do you have any details on the actor thing? How many actors were there I mean it looks like they're about 700 or 800 maybe a thousand but whatever was which would cost them $50,000 because it's 50 bucks an act that's what they were offering so this woman this girl that was doing the report she's the one who brought up to think saying there was white noise generators is that wasn't true what they did is that day in fact I have one of these examples you could kind of hear it when John Allen came out John Allen was the worst speaker ever. Even though he's... Ever, ever! He was- Oh he is so good and all he was doing was an act it seemed to me he was doing I have three clips from Allen let's play them One of them is this is him being a World Wrestling Federation guy clip one just screaming at the audience because they're yelling no more war up in the corner Two goals

48:57 To those acting against peace, acting against civilization in the world order we will oppose you. Wait a minute did he say acting against civilization and the world order? Something like that. But again, I don't know quite what he was talking about. To our enemies! We will pursue you as only America can! You will fear us and to ISIS and others we will defeat you! This is a wrestler! That's fantastic! Yeah it's a wrestler! I mean this could be Hulk Hogan Here he goes off a little more... America will continue to lead this volatile world

49:39 We will oppose and resist tyranny, and we will defeat evil. America... America will defeat ISIS! And protect the home- Okie doke. You guys are nuts. Yeah Now I do have the one John Allen uh.. I think there's just another clip here from him. Yeah yeah I have um no more war Yeah, now this one here. You want to listen you'll hear and anyone who saw followed I retweeted this on Twitter which was the little memo that went out to telling people if the Bernie people start chanting this you chant that

50:19 And when they... Wait, wait. Sorry. So when they said no more war! No more war! The audience is the ones that aren't Bernie supporters within the Bernie some people Bernie guys got in there because you can tell them because they're all wearing a Dayglo shirt Yeah and they were easy to see when the lights went off yeah when lights went off they glowed Because I guess there's enough blue light in the darkness Anyway, when they chant No More War which they were doing all during John Allen's speech which is why he was yelling so much. You're supposed to... They had a counter-chant. Like a little cheat sheet. Hillary or USA! USA no more war! USA and so they do it at the same time with the same cadence that you can drown them out if you listen carefully to this clip and I don't know how well it comes through on over Skype what we're doing here

51:11 You'll hear the no more war chant go on, you can hear a little bit and then the other people pick it up and drown them out. So we stand before you tonight to endorse Hillary Clinton for the president of the United States of America! We trust in her judgment We trust in her judgment. We believe in her vision for a united America, we believe in her vision of an America as a just and strong leader against the forces of hatred, the forces of chaos and darkness. Wow! We know that she has no other knows how to use all instruments of American power not just the military to keep us all safe and free

52:14 My fellow Americans. Wow, yeah the USA is uh... is drowning it out, but you can definitely hear it in the background. Yeah this guy was a lunatic he was also involved in the Petraeus affair if you remember? Oh yeah! He was the one having sex I think also with the reporter... Yeah that's right there was like a triangle thing going on that was weird Right this guy is a complete douchebag and uh I think Trump called him out as a failed- he was responsible for some of the Afghanistan crap Or Iraq maybe, I'm not sure. I don't remember the details of his complaint but... Right right. ...I found that to be a very interesting moment at this convention Well after the fact and we know about these cheat sheets which there are pictures of

MSNBC Analysis, Joy Reid, Chris Matthews vs. Chris Hayes

MSNBC's Joy Reid praised the DNC as a "brilliant piece of television" comparable to the Oscars. Tensions between Chris Matthews and Chris Hayes are discussed, with Matthews expressing skepticism about the "America is great" theme. Matthews cited a Wall Street Journal poll showing two-thirds of the country is unhappy with its current direction.

msnbc· joy reid· chris matthews· chris hayes· wall street journal

53:03 So there was a lot of management going on. It's pretty well done. I thought, to be honest about it if i was them, I would have done the same thing and I think they did a wonderful job of covering it up for them and the media went all along... The media wasn't gonna show any of the Bernie people They weren't gonna mic him that's for sure. They mic in front of the audience so they didn't have you 99% percent of the people watching John Allen screaming like Hulk Hogan never would have heard any of this stuff because it wasn't Mike to be heard. It was Mike definitely not to be heard. Well, I was gonna play a short clip just cause you said the media was all in and they loved it. Joy Reid! I can't stop watching MSNBC. It's so much fun to listen to what they have to say. She is of course the new superstar within the news team. I think for the first time Hillary Clinton was able to connect

53:56 people like me who maybe were you know sort of studying and watching this but not really emotionally connected to what she was doing, um to create an emotional connection with her. And I think she did that not by herself but over the course of these four days which is brilliantly- it was a brilliant piece of television first of all let's just acknowledge it was well done It was almost like an Oscars telecast it was well done. Would you uh? Built to an emotional crescendo where at the end You bought Hillary Clinton as a president. You bought Hillary Clinton is fundamentally a mom and a grandma Yeah, because you were bought come on like an Oscars telecast when I got real late And they had the very late

54:35 Again, after midnight stuff going on with the Chris Matthews doing a late shift. Yeah I have a clue he was there was a couple things he was visibly hates visibly hates that guy man what's his name? The guys that bail lesbian we always talk about Chris Hayes, Chris Hayes. Chris Hayes was on this panel with him and he's running the panel and the panel is you couldn't hear where I think a small clip of what it sounded like most of the time i think Joy Reid was on this panel I'm sure and I think there's a clip that says something about Matthews on agents have changed is that the one no no that when I want to play next but there's another clip there but what it sounded like it just as very short clip

55:16 Well, I haven't studied your clips for people who don't know. Heart ball sounds like this... Ah! Okay gotcha. Yeah, that's exactly what it sounds like. You couldn't hear anything! No, most of the time. It was just a bunch of people until Matthews kind of took over and every time Chris Hayes spoke if you didn't watch him you watched Chris Matthews? You could see this guy seething yeah I mean he was grimacing he was biting his lip he was just Steam was coming out of his ears. I don't think he liked that woman either that you're so fond of now He and then Smith Matthews has been at MSNBC forever Who am I fond of it? MSNBC that woman that woman you just mentioned joy really no, I'm not fond of her Well, I mean your phone to clipping her Oh yes. Oh yeah That's fun. It's fine. I'll clip her in the morning a club or clipper in the evening. It's fun. I'll clip her in the summertime

56:15 But when Hayes speaks, Matthews hates him. He hates him! Yeah he does. But also it's because Chris Hayes is like...he tries to command the room with his oily looking face. With a high pitched voice? Yes and but you know it's like this right because we all know that right yeah I mean it's annoying to everybody Yeah, he's very annoying. So this is early in the morning so this is Matthew actually making a decent point and I don't think Matthews' all-in for Hillary by any means even though he'd never not vote Democrat because he's a longtime Democrat

56:58 committed, but play this other clip. He thinks she's Carrie. And he said it last night! That is the one problem with the America is great thematics, that made everybody in the hall feel good we were all there and felt it but for a lot of people out there they're looking at the country and saying yeah we love the country but it ain't great Our poll which is non-partisan done by Republicans and Democrats together from The Wall Street Journal shows about two thirds this country

57:47 Objectively doesn't like the direction that country's going. And that's a fact so all this nice stuff about let's keep it going We're doing it great we got it made is not the way people look at it So here's what I thought was interesting though Hillary Clinton in an economic portion if you compare Yeah, you know yeah, that's haste jumping in You know Matthews he's gotta be careful because I think they're keeping his seat warm for him over there at RT That'll be his next gig If he keeps going like that Yes, he can't do that. No, that's not okay He's very concerned and then of course the that's when Hayes when he jumped I should maybe clipped it further because Hayes jumps in and Does everything you can to counter what Matthews just said yes And that's high squeaky voice when Matthews starts to steam up? And he's trying to get this conversation back under the pillory thing no now are you wrong about that Hillary is an agent change she's gonna Do this she's gonna do that

CHAPTER 18 / 51 Discussion

Citizens United, Constitutional Amendment, Hillary Clinton Grudge

Hillary Clinton has proposed a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United ruling. The hosts argue this is a personal grudge stemming from a 2008 documentary critical of her. They contend that limiting campaign spending is a violation of the First Amendment and that the proposal is politically unfeasible.

citizens united· first amendment· hillary clinton· supreme court· free speech

58:38 I found that a lot of the stuff that's being promoted about Hillary is if anybody actually steps back and thinks about it, there's a clip i have which is the clip about...I may say B.S.. Oh well first play this this is Hillary's constitutional amendment which I thought was funny If necessary, we will pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. Right which of course that's not gonna happen and the thing was about her movie! Well Citizens United is about limiting who can spend what on elections for promotion yeah right but you know where it stemmed from right? No I really... Her movie

59:28 I don't know about her movie. Tell me. They tried to roll out this movie about her, a condemning movie during 2008 or whenever this thing actually came down There's a movie about it you should read about it Yeah I'm sure we've discussed and talked about it We have discussed like four years ago Yeah just trying to think what the title was So we discussed it a long time ago, but it was Hillary. It was like this movie about bad movie blasting Hillary that they did everything they can to keep off the screens and then there's some lawsuit over it and in the during the lawsuit And it was Citizens United that I think either produced or was trying to promote the movie. And so, I still think this is just a grudge because she's not going to get any amendment passed! So the way the amendments work is if you overturn an amendment, the amendment doesn't go away but you read it kind of from one to wherever it ends

1:00:24 And an amendment further down the list can overturn, but she's talking about changing the First Amendment. Because as far as I recall, the Supreme Court said hey look money is free speech wasn't that the basic tenet of the ruling? Well what it meant was... I'm fighting you over something and so, i am buying ads. Yeah or let's put it this way... You are Peter Thiel and you're paying for a lawsuit or whatever It is all money! And what they are saying we need to limit how much money can be spent on promotion in campaigns

1:01:02 Yeah, which is against the Constitution. Of course it is! You should be able to spend as much as you want But why are all these people cheering? Like oh yeah we'll do that no you can't do that They've demonized they've demonized as the bigots said they are They've demonized That particular thing and in this election It doesn't even apply No it doesn't There's no application whatsoever So this whole thing is bullcrap And now the latest Trump Doesn't even want to talk To The Koch Brothers Because they stiffed him before Now here's what I wanted to play This is And is there then you I'm gonna stop playing clips. You can all right Hillary bio could have been a bigwig this is from her at the beginning they had God doing the voiceover of Hilary's Yeah, God Hillary's bio that was God she could have joined the big law firm Been a corporate big wig instead she chose the Children's Defense Fund There and she went door-to-door What happened to their was the Rose Law Firm?

CHAPTER 19 / 51 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Creation Story, Children's Defense Fund

The hosts deconstruct Hillary Clinton's "creation story" presented at the DNC, narrated by Morgan Freeman. The narrative claims she chose the Children's Defense Fund over a lucrative corporate law career. The hosts question the lack of evidence for these corporate offers and criticize the DNC's heavy focus on children as a political tool.

hillary clinton· rose law firm· children's defense fund· dnc· morgan freeman

1:01:59 Well, the way it's told is when she just...the minute she got out of there. She went to Rose law firm later when she got out of college Yeah She could have been a bigwig but she decided to save the children This is part of her litany of what I consider to be a bullshit creation story There is where's the evidence that any big law firm wanted her? No, I don't think there's any. Oh God we wanted Hillary Clinton! She just graduated from Harvard Law School and we wanted her? Yeah. No she could have been a bigwig she could have joined any monster no she couldn't not everybody can very few people can and what's to say that she could I've never seen any evidence of it but it's in their stories in our creation stories bullshit yeah but that kind of stuff man

1:02:49 I just know I'm I agree with you. I agree let's play it again. I love it when God does that Morgan Freeman She could have joined the big law firm been a corporate bigwig. Instead she chose the Children's Defense Fund, there she went door to door. Which is kind of the whole theme of the DNC. The DNC is it was all about the children they were abusing children like children watching Trump on TV crying. Of course now I've I'm always looking for analysis of his body language and one of our producers sent me a clip from KQED which is, I guess your PBS station out there? Yep. And this was the KQED forum they had a linguistics professor Lackhoff i think is his name and but he analyzed Trump's name and how the name

CHAPTER 20 / 51 Discussion

Linguistics of Trump, Name Analysis, George Lakoff

Linguistics professor George Lakoff analyzed the phonetic power of the name "Trump," noting the strength of the "TR" and "UMP" sounds. The hosts discuss how names impact political viability, referencing a past column by Dvorak regarding Newt Gingrich's name.

1:03:44 Breaks down and how it can affect you and interestingly. I think he gave a few hints of how people could Alter that if they wanted to try and provide some messaging is in general interesting stuff now Trump I want talk about the name Trump which is very important because TR Tends to go with powerful words triumph train and triumphant so on the ump has to do with things that are powerfully packed together whether it's dumping or pumping or whatever and So the combination of femt the original family name was drums Yeah, which is very very different if you could change it to twump To just change the arted W. It sounds weak If you change the U2 I its gone twimp doesn't sound very good There you go yeah

1:04:33 Well yeah, the name does make a difference. He couldn't be you know Dorf Donald Dorf let's vote for him for president that's why I actually wrote a column in them in the mid 80s uh for the San Francisco examiner now The Chronicle when I was writing op-eds where I said It's funny because I met him years and years later, and he didn't associate me with this. But I said no one will ever elect a president named Newt! It's just not a good look on the President. The President of the United States is never going to be named after an amphibian. No it's just never gonna happen. Gecko? No its' not gonna happen.

Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin, Dictator Designation

Vice President Joe Biden referred to Vladimir Putin as a "dictator" during a campaign speech. White House press briefings struggled to reconcile this label with official State Department language describing Russia as a "highly centralized authoritarian political system." The hosts debate whether Putin can be considered a dictator given his electoral history.

joe biden· vladimir putin· russia· state department· white house

1:05:19 had an interesting little speech, which is probably his presidential election. You know his nomination speech he probably pulled that one out of the closet but what he said here I thought was interesting Donald Trump with all his rhetoric would literally make us less safe we cannot elect a man who belittles our closest allies while embracing dictators like Vladimir Putin No, I mean it. Now what he said there is Putin is a dictator that's the vice president United States who said Vladimir Putin is a dictator and of course appropriately so a question came up in the daily White House briefing about this very point. First of all there's no official government designation about dictatorships but

1:06:12 there was included in the State Department Human Rights Report a description of the political situation inside of Russia with regard to Russian government. And so I'll just read from it, The Russian Federation has a highly centralized authoritarian political system dominated by President Vladimir Putin." That's a direct quote. It went on to say that Russia's institutions, quote, lacked independence from the executive branch So, that's the official language that is used by the US government to describe the system of government that is currently in place in Russia. I guess just for a final point on it does President Obama... I don't know if you can hear what he's asking The follow up question is well does President Obama believe Vladimir Putin is a dictator?

1:06:53 Well, again I think you'd be hard-pressed to draw a distinction between the word that Vice President Biden used and the language that was included in the State Department report. What exactly does he mean by that? You'll be hard pressed to find distinction? I have no idea what he's talking about So he read the State Department description of the Russian political system And then he said, if you listen to that it's...you would be hard-pressed to draw a distinction between that and the word. He won't even say dictator the word that Vice President Biden used

1:07:32 So what do you, does that mean yes or no? I think it means yes. But they don't want to say it because there's still, we still have to negotiate with the Russians and were not completely independent of their existence. And then the question is, if he's a dictator how did... Well maybe I suppose you could make this argument that he still gets elected as one. Even though he's a freely elected as the Democratic kind of a quasi-democratic system and he was president for awhile in it you know, he went back and forth between President they first president that is a prime minister. He's a president and If he's a dictator what does even fool around with this stuff for when you just take over the place? Yeah So a small Biden gaffe then as per usual I would think Kareem Abdul Jabbar had what is being touted as the joke of the century which I didn't find very funny

CHAPTER 22 / 51 Discussion

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan Joke, Letterman Rip-off

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar opened his DNC speech with a joke pretending to be Michael Jordan to insult Donald Trump. The hosts also point out that a DNC video segment featuring "great quotes in history" was a blatant imitation of a classic David Letterman comedy bit.

kareem abdul-jabbar· michael jordan· donald trump· david letterman· dnc

1:08:24 Personally, I thought it was... you know. What was the joke? I don't know the joke Here comes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar coming out to speak Everyone! I'm Michael Jordan and i'm here with Hillary I said that because I know Donald Trump couldn't tell the difference He says, I'm Michael... It's an insult Yes he says, I'm Michael Jordan And I say that because I know Donald Trump couldn't tell the difference Which is really.... hmmm You know

1:09:03 A bit far, a bit far reaching there. Why don't you just call him a slave owner? The audience is going to laugh at anything. No they weren't laughing they were cheering it was the best joke ever! So funny I thought the best joke...they decided to you know they did these great little movies Yeah, and they decided to stay that somebody was either an ex-writer for Letterman or something because they did this Letterman bit. It was a Letterman bit. Letterman used to do this bit where he'd say great lot... Great! He'd be up giving his talk is standup and so

1:09:43 And now we have a little feature for you, the best great quotes in history or something like that. And then they play Donald, they play Hail to the President and then... Oh yeah! You're right. Some stupid George Bush thing. George Bush would say is the door open? Yeah and then da-da-da-da Yes, so you're right. They come away with it I have probably the best one that they did on this show. This is, let me find it... Letterman gag convention movie They played the little movie It was Letterman's bit and this was how it went So Belgium Is a beautiful city Wow you're right! That is blatant rip off I didn't even think about that Oh my goodness Good one Same music in everything

CHAPTER 23 / 51 Discussion

Eric Holder, Gray Matter, Trump Intelligence Debate

Former Attorney General Eric Holder questioned Donald Trump's "gray matter" and intellectual depth during an interview with Charlie Rose. The hosts defend Trump's intelligence, arguing that building a billion-dollar empire is impossible for a "dummy." They suggest the media is shifting from calling Trump a "racist" to calling him "stupid."

eric holder· charlie rose· donald trump· intelligence· racism

1:10:34 Well the they there's a lot of and again this guy is a builder And I've been around builders, and you know they have difficulty communicating in general But Charlie Rose had Eric Holder on his program. Yes, and holder was elitist to say the least. You also said that Donald Trump, you question his gray matter. His gray matter? Is he smart enough to be president? Yeah I wonder and you know I sometimes think that he hides behind a certain bravado um... to hide a lack of substance that he has And because you don't see any intellectual interest but you don't see

1:11:13 Anything other than leading the witness and a businessman? Yeah, one of the other things that makes me doubt his intellectual heft is he sees everything in black-and-white terms And that is that's the realm of people who aren't very smart. Oh Okay if you see things in black or white terms your dumb but your dumb The Realm of People who aren't very smart see things in black and white. No, no that is a hallmark John! It's a hallmark. Well I don't think Trump sees things in black and white nor does anybody really...I think that would just disingenuous what he said but to make this sort of generality

1:11:57 plaster on Trump. Okay, well they go for these guys are idiots They keep trying one thing or another trying to paste the Trump as a dummy yeah dumb Dummy dummy Trump who I don't know how he got a billion dollars and in so well you gotta start over the free million? I don't know about that being even true But i'll tell you this You can give a hundred people $1 million. They're not going to roll that up to 1 billion, it's just not doable. Most people can barely double their money if they don't lose it all which most of them do so that's nonsense and you can be a dummy in his situation is just not possible

1:12:36 Yeah, but that's you know if you want to call him a dummy. You're making a mistake We've already deconstructed the fact that we know if you just keep on crazy racist That's yeah crazy racists is the way to go now they're straying from that they're straying from it and it shows how The Democratic Party is really not unified Because I hear the gay guys on Sirius Progressive, channel 127. And they're all you know Trump hates gays! They got Barney Frank on every 10 minutes Oh he doesn't protect gays? No just only from foreign threats not from the crazy Christians So the gay guys are saying that he hates... He doesn't care about gays Then yeah then you have the black faction is saying he hate blacks

Amy Walter, Down-Ballot Strategy, Republican Voters

Analyst Amy Walter discusses the Democratic strategy of appealing to Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton. She notes this may inadvertently hurt down-ballot Democratic Senate candidates by encouraging Republican turnout. Walter observes a disconnect where voters do not necessarily link Trump to other Republican candidates on the ballot.

amy walter· pbs newshour· hillary clinton· senate· republicans

1:13:27 That's the crazy racist. But then there is this, you know, elites are going he is just dumb, he is just stupid, he is dumb... You're right! There is no focus at all. Whatever you do, just lambast him. Now I have to say Amy Walters who is kind of this Very interesting analyst who's on the PBS News Hour all time. She's one of the kind of the clipped hair, looks like she might be a lesbian and she might not you don't know? She's very intelligent it seems to me and she's very analytical Probably much more so than the Brooks and Shields guys, especially David Brooks. I suggest she's going to replace one of the two or both of them because she is actually thoughtful but you can tell that she is all in for Hillary and she is but she was very depressed on her last day. FYI, I just looked up a picture... yeah lesbian! Well, she presents herself as well

1:14:25 I'll ask Christine now, she'll give me the download. You give her the gaydar? Yeah But whether she is or not She's really good and she's very thoughtful and she's very objective And i just got this one clip of her talking about the mistakes and she just had this depressed quality about it when she talked about this And I think she was in the same boat as Shields They were both I think a little disturbed by the Republican style of the Thursday speech where there's literally flag waving. Half of Hillary's speech was lifted from Trump, it was all kinds of crazy little... Hillary had this little part of her creation story let me see I want to play that first now that i've thought about it we're gonna get rid of all my clips too quick yeah she uh... Hillary about well here is this one there's Hillary about

1:15:23 Oh no, here it is. Oh damn it! Hillary on jobs general... No I'll play these later. Play the Amy Walters clip and just listen to the nuance about what she's trying to say here. It's very interesting. Vote for Hillary Republican statement Amy Walter Well here's what a really interesting dilemma for Democrats right now we've now had outward appeals to Republicans not to stay home but to come out and vote for Hillary Clinton But that works against with Democrats running for the Senate are trying to do. They're trying to make the case, they would love for those Republicans to stay home because it helps their down-ballot candidates if those folks don't turn out and so what we're seeing is really the White House running a very different strategy than the down ballot candidates already were seeing that many voters are not linking Donald Trump to Republicans down the ballot this convention and this strategy from Hillary Clinton isn't going to make it any easier for the Democratic Senate candidates

1:16:23 She was very depressed about this. What she said was that it turns out the way the Republican campaigns are going is that there's a disconnect between Trump and the ballot, you have Trump then you have US Senator and they're separate, right? Right. You can click on Trump or not. And they're worried... They've decided to try cajole Republicans into voting against Trump by voting for Hillary but come out because the other possibility is to just stay home. A lot of people that don't care for any of the candidates, they say no vote so they're trying to get him to come out to try and get Republicans...they're trying to get a Republican vote out! And she says what are they doing? They're idiots! That's not what she said but thats what she means

CHAPTER 25 / 51 Discussion

Barack Obama, Homegrown Demagogues, DNC Speech

President Obama's DNC speech included a warning against "homegrown demagogues," which was widely interpreted as a jab at Donald Trump. The hosts argue that Bernie Sanders fits the definition of a demagogue more closely than Trump. They critique Obama's "preachy" delivery style during the address.

barack obama· dnc· demagogue· bernie sanders· donald trump

1:17:08 And I thought that was very observant and it was like good. Yeah, she you could see her shaking her head over the whole strategy in this this last day with all the flag waving and fireworks real fireworks inside the place The balloon drop yeah It was ridiculous nice pyrotechnics I'm sure it within there say they were within five seconds of catching the whole joint on fire because they dropped the balloons where those fireworks are still going off A lot of noise, a lot of people complaining about President Obama's speech particularly this one passage from it. That is why we can attract strivers and entrepreneurs from around the globe to build new factories and create new industries here. That is why our military can look the way it does The way it does? I love when he gets into his preachy mode For people and folks who need help Every shade of humanity forged into common service

1:18:03 That's why anyone who threatens our values, forged into common service. That's why anyone who threatens our values, whether fascists or communists or jihadist or homegrown demagogues will always fail in the end. So you put Trump because that's what he means obviously right up there with dictators fascists and then of course home grown demagogue which is a home grown demagogue? He's a homegrown demagogue and Bernie Sanders was the demagogue. Anyone who looks up his definition, you'll see that no one ever accused Bernie of being a demagogue because they... And he is THE demagogue of this campaign. Of the cycle? Sure

CHAPTER 26 / 51 Discussion

Jennifer Granholm, DNC Screaming, West Virginia Jobs

Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm delivered a high-energy, shouting speech at the DNC that the hosts compare to Howard Dean's infamous "scream." They mock her claims that West Virginia coal miners will easily transition into high-tech steel jobs. The hosts argue that such economic promises are unrealistic and ignore the reality of regional labor markets.

jennifer granholm· dnc· michigan· west virginia· howard dean

1:18:51 This kind of thing reminded me of one, the Granholm speech which I want to play or part of it. She... Granholm was the ex-governor of Michigan who's probably responsible for the state's... For the water poisoning? Everything! She's gotta be responsible. She was the one who failed the biggest but she is a very oh she was a great pretty good public speaker but she screams and she reminds me of somebody as she screaming and screaming in this speech And I was listening to her and it's nonsense bullcrap like she says miners are gonna become steel mill High-tech steel mill workers and all the rest of this nonsense But all through this what you're gonna hear all through this. She is obviously has her mouth is dried up This happens hate when that happens yeah, of course it can happen anybody get them

1:19:43 Her mouth dried up and she is trying, she is struggling with it. Her tongue is coming out She's trying to get moisture into her mouth There's no drinking water available at the podium You've never seen anyone drink Now but can I just ask you a question? Why is the chat room going crazy saying she's a Canadian Granholm yeah She might be Okay She's not a Canadian citizen, I mean she is an American citizen but she may have been Canadian. Oh okay. She sounds a little Canadian when she talks about what you mentioned Anyway so she's screaming and screaming and screaming And i'm thinking who does this remind me of? Listen Here's what I know We have got to stop Donald Trump Our great country spans a continent! Oh I know who she reminds me of The little lady in poltergeist Who says run to the light carry on

1:20:37 No, I'll tell you. OK, here's what I know we have got to start our great country spans a continent but we connected to each other no matter where we live. So when a miner in Virginia has the dignity of a new job in the advanced steel industry, we all have dignity! When an engineering student in the Sunshine State builds the solar panels of the future, we all succeed! When the auto worker in Detroit builds the electric vehicle

1:21:22 that drives us forward. We all win, right? Whether you're in Michigan or London or Missouri or Montana... In Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico! And we go to California and Texas and New York! And we go to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan! Go to Washington D.C., those... I'll give you that for certainly for your editing. That was a little Dean action in there How many people recognize that are they old enough? Listen to the show This by the way, I realized I didn't realize this before but I realize it now it is sheer nonsense

1:22:19 that a miner in West Virginia is going to work for a high-tech steel company in some other state. Most people do not leave their neighborhoods, and we have to get over the idea that each state you know it's gonna be a draw for I mean yeah some people move to California if they're in the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma 1935 but For the most part peoples try to work around the area that they're in this just stay stick around generally speaking Yeah This is bullcrap that they're gonna I mean there's well what are you doing is empty out West Virginia and all they'll be left with is a college in the Mountaineers and what are you gonna do yeah that's the plan okay that's the plan good plan. Well when your water is poisoned move out of the state! That's what you should tell these people in Flint, hey don't like the water? The poison water? Leave go someplace else!

No Agenda, Executive Producers, Donation Segment

The hosts thank the producers and artists of the show, specifically mentioning Mark G for the album artwork. Sir David Fugazotto is named Executive Producer for episode 847. The hosts discuss the logistics of reading donation notes and defend the length of the "thank you" segments against listener complaints.

To ask with desperation what is the no agenda take on all of this? He's not obviously the brand specifier. He's the guy who's uh... Who's the no agenda guy so they have to seek him out he's like a guru.

1:27:02 Just last week I had three people, he says. My analysis the common folk brains are exploding and all of us know... And all that know of us the No Agenda gurus are turning to my enlightened no agenda listeners to help make sense of it all so i have been doing what all the good producers do when this happens I hit him in the mouth! Okay jingle request needs I know it is. Daily News? Yeah, yeah. Okay that one. Anything else? One last... and what is this one let me see if this right in this note or he says one last bootnote I wish to play trumpets to herald the triumphant return of my liege Baron Sir Funk back from exile on Melbourne not quite sure. He has returned to the land of sunshine so I stand agreed our liege

1:29:41 during our full-on thank you segment. I did want to mention that, if i got a couple of notes one from someone said the shows aren't too long because of the two times half hour thank you segment everyone hates it And then, you know in the chat room it's like we'll start to thank people and then someone will go like, oh time for a smoke break! So I've of course kicked them out of the chat room when they do that. That's an asshole thing to say. This should be permanently banned use their IP address. Okay. Brian ban him boys ban him. Ban him, ban him, ban him. You're banned and your banned Now uh... It's just rude you're in my house

Don't be rude in my house now you have to remember when we used to do everyone Yeah, I was and everything in between that took long read all their notes yeah And I mean we used to read all the notes all the notes which meant what it would unfortunately happen was the fifth people would donate a small amount of money then have a tomb you know two minute note yeah And it was, that was slowing things down. This is not a bad thing this doesn't happen how often does this happen where we have so many people? I think people would rather hear half hour commercials maybe that's what they want and no analysis because we could never say anything because we get fired or the advertisers will pull out or there would be boycott of advertisers cuz that's the same people who say this horrible shit will come in and say well i'm just gonna bear me I'm gonna boycot your advertiser

Hillary Clinton, Indian Country, Political Correctness

During her DNC acceptance speech, Hillary Clinton used the phrase "from Indian country to coal country." The hosts highlight the irony of a high-profile Democrat using a term often considered politically incorrect. They link the phrasing to Elizabeth Warren's controversial claims regarding her own heritage.

hillary clinton· indian country· native american· elizabeth warren· dnc

1:31:08 But you know, funny enough sometimes during these segments you actually learn something. It's not all just money thank-you no we just... And if you stop complaining We wouldn't be wasting time like this were doing exactly right now grousing about your grousing Exactly! So grouse all ya want as long as your grousing about the formula Our formula is this We go out and hit people in the mouth All right Onward play there's a clip. I want to play but it's a wanted I've heard this a couple of times now from Hillary and I wanted to just ask you this may be like an ask Adam okay, mini-clip It says Hillary won Hillary when this is Indian

Holy Christ left behind From our inner cities to our small towns from Indian country to coal country how that is so politically incorrect It's triggered me it triggered me. It should be Native American you can't say Indian Country

1:33:48 Indian country, that's what she said. She should have said Injun! Injun country would have been better. First thing I thought of was when she talked about Massachusetts. Yep, no point... Elizabeth Warren a point for you man good catch That's outrageous! I mean, yes and i've heard it before she said she uses commonly uses Indian country. What is even besides the political correctness? It's factually incorrect. What century are we living in do we have indian country?! Wow...I can't but you know and when I listened to the clip it didn't even register which shows you how screwed we are really damn that's good just another point there that was very good

Stephen Cohen, New Cold War, CNN Interview

Professor Stephen Cohen appeared on CNN to warn of a "new and more dangerous Cold War" with Russia. He criticized the media for labeling Donald Trump a "Russian agent" instead of debating his proposed policy of detente. Cohen argued that the U.S. is approaching a nuclear confrontation similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

stephen cohen· cnn· russia· cold war· donald trump

1:34:29 Huh. In the country. You nailed that! Now, I need to get into Russia and the reason why... well there's a lot of reasons why but i have a great piece from our friend Professor Stephen Cohen very excited to play this for you. You know he is married to that crazy left-wing nut that is the editor of The Nation magazine? I don't know who that is No, you've heard her before. I can't imagine the two of them being married because they're just demeanors but she's very strange One of our producers a dude named Ben in Fayetteville He is the guy that took me to the Trump rally So his wife is a total all-in Hillary bot

1:35:22 Okay, and and you know but it works they get along. You know somehow it worked But he'll text me from time to time He's like oh my god. She's freaking out just freaking out oh my But this is yeah But it works It works somehow it works And I gave him a good line I said come on man you've got to be nice to your wife said the you know Here's what?

1:37:10 Well, I've never heard him speak like this on Democracy Now. He's on the Shmear Conus show that's the guy who does the media reporting who has been a lot during this election cycle and we can stop it at several points it is about four minutes long and I tighten it up, i think its worth every minute of what he's saying. Here to discuss is Stephen Cohen, an American scholar of Russian studies at both Princeton and New York universities. Professor Cohen does Vladimir Putin indeed have a dog in our US fight? Shouldn't that be hunt if you want to do it properly the dog in the hunt yeah dog in the fight

1:38:02 He was mixed metaphor. Yeah, it's like someone for the cyber attack Russia was more than convenient But is this a new cold war or political pot stirring? Does this accusation have any basis in fact and if not could it harm couldn't cause real harm Here to discuss is Stephen Cohen, an American scholar of Russian studies at both Princeton and New York universities. Professor Cohen does Vladimir Putin indeed have a dog in our US fight? Vladimir Putin wants to end the new Cold War And so do I Let me say that i have no ties To the Trump campaign or the Clinton campaign By the way

1:38:38 Last time you're ever gonna hear this guy on CNN and you'll find out why. But if I were to write your headline for you today, I tried on the way down here, I couldn't fit it on the front page but it would go like this We are in a new and more dangerous Cold War with Russia We're approaching a Cuban missile crisis, nuclear confrontation with Russia both along Russia's borders and possibly over Syria. There is absolutely no discussion, no debate about this in American media including forgive me on CNN then along comes unexpectedly Donald Trump who says something that suggests he wants to end the new cold

1:39:17 war, cooperate with Russia in various places what we used to call detente and now... What is what is detente? What does that mean when he says we used to call it detente? Detente was the thing during the Gorbachev period where you were going to I think if it meant anything it meant you're both gonna put down your guns and go sit at a table and chat. Okay all right with Russia in various places, what we used to call detente. And now astonishingly the media is full of what only can be called Neil McCarthy-i charges that he's a Russian agent that he's a Manchurian candidate that he's Putin's client so the real danger is whats being done through our own political process this is the moment when there should be in a presidential year a debate

1:40:04 because Mrs. Clinton's position on Russia seems to be very different, hasn't been a long time Trump speaks elliptically you gotta piece together what he said You know that's finally someone who was able to say it right Elliptically That's the truth! Yeah You've gotta listen to all the bits and like a puzzle you put it put it together. Right, and you have to listen to the whole thing in context You can't just pull stuff out of context Yeah, sounds like the world's greatest jerk Well he is great for making end-of show bits that's for sure but yeah elliptical I like that Russia seems very different hasn't been a long time Trump speaks elliptically He got to piece together what he says But he seems to want new American policy toward Russia Did he say... I'm sorry?

1:40:48 Did he say clump? I don't think so. Yeah, Trump speaks elliptically you gotta piece together what he says but he seems to want to... What? Never mind, just keep playing it. American policy toward Russia and considering the danger I think we as American citizens deserve that debate and not what will be given in the media today including on the front page of The New York Times. I end by saying that these reckless branding of Trump as a Russian agent most of it is coming from the Clinton campaign and they really need to stop

CHAPTER 30 / 51 Discussion

CNN Russia Narrative, NATO Debate, Stephen Cohen Cutoff

A CNN anchor challenged Stephen Cohen's defense of Trump's NATO comments and cited allegations of Russian hacking. Cohen responded that there is no evidence for claims that Putin wants to end Baltic independence and noted that "everybody hacks everybody." The interview ended abruptly, which the hosts interpret as the network silencing a dissenting view.

cnn· nato· stephen cohen· russia· hacking

1:41:24 Okay, I don't know where to begin in unpacking all that you just offered to us but I Smoke smoke was magic smoke coming out of his ears. Oh, I don't even know where to begin to unpack that Yeah That's such an overused term How did we unpack what you just said? No where to begin in unpacking all that You just offered to us But I guess I'll start as follows as one who can't match your credentials Here's what I see from the outside looking in I see Donald Trump having said to the New York Times just within the last 10 days that he's not so sure he would stand with NATO allies. And, I'm paraphrasing—he'd want to know whether they've been pulling their own weight. The impart of his comments seems to suggest that he could provide Putin with unfettered undeterred access to the Baltic states whose independence

1:42:12 He resents and so it all seems to fit therefore that Putin would have a dog in this fight, would want to see Donald Trump win this election So that he, Putin could do as he pleased in that part of the world. CNN is covering that I mean I have to defend the network in that regard But but why does that not all fit? And why does it not all fit with the headline in today's New York Times which says Russian spies said to hack Clinton's bid Said to have, said to have. That's not news that's an allegation James Clapper I don't know who hacked everybody hacks everybody we hacked into Chancellor Merkel cell phone learned that from Snowden The Israelis hack the Americans hack the Chinese hacks Everybody hacks The point is and i know you said it not to defend but as a provocation Let's take the position you just set out

1:43:04 that Putin wants to end the independence of Baltic states. At this point, the line producer is getting nervous at CNN. I have pretty sure done what I'm going to do for you. There's no evidence for that none whatsoever The point is on the network and I am not blaming CNN there's none on any network There's none in New York Times I am old enough to remember during the last cold war All these issues were debated and that you had a proponent of each point of view. But, now you've got accusations both against Putin, both against Trump which needed to be debated. The most... Let's go back to what you said, what Trump said about NATO. Trump said early on he wanted to know 60 years after his foundation What was NATO's mission today? A hundred policy walks in Washington

1:43:57 Since the end of the Soviet Union, 25 years ago have asked the same question. Is NATO an organization in search of a mission? For example it's a mission for the last 20 years has to expand ever closer to Russia so people have now asked why isn't it fighting international terrorism that's a legitimate question but we don't debate it get it we just say all Trump wants to abandon this guy I don't defend from Trump raises questions And instead of giving an answer to the substance of the question, we denounce him as some kind of criminal agent. That's bad for our politics but it's getting worse given that he hasn't yet. I love this conversation and i could go on for hours with you on this subject. I wish time afforded that! We've just had this conversation... The conversation that you say is so desperately lacking Thank you for being here. I appreciate your time.

1:44:55 Holy crap! Just throw him out. We just had the debate you've been wanting, okay thanks goodbye. Holy crap that's like you getting cut off when you said that Michael Jackson was probably murdered Yes Wasn't that CNN too? No it was MSNBC Oh Holy mackerel. I know that is so obvious They don't want to hear any of it Oh, it's not against this we have a line We already know what what the truth is or what? We want to promote we want to promote the idea that Trump said Russian spy because he needs the money and yeah, no he has a He's borrowed hundreds of millions from Russian oligarchs and Pence was you know the consultant for the the ex

Russian Hackers, Voting Machines, Paper Ballots

The Washington Post has warned that Russian hackers could target U.S. voting machines by November. The hosts express skepticism, noting that concerns about Diebold machines have existed for years without significant action. They advocate for a return to paper ballots and simple ink-based verification to ensure election integrity.

1:45:39 for the actually for the democratically elected president of Ukraine You know the guy we had to throw out right, right? Yeah. There was that story too Wow yeah That is unbelievable you know that's what do you have to listen to no agenda show for I would if you're getting screwed if you listen To CNN and you're not gonna get any kind of thought at all well luckily he said We got a stick with the story. That's right I have some notes, and know you have notes. Although just in this vein i'm already seeing... This is from the Washington Post take it for whatever you think that's valid Headline headline headline is by November Russian hackers could target voting machines

1:46:26 We've been talking about the Diebold machines for, well since the previous election. No, since two elections ago and now all of a sudden we're worried about it? Oh please! Well, it would be good if it came out. If we just went back to paper and you know take one step further I think we should all just have ink on our hands You know that does away with the purple purple ink powder Yeah so then you can do away with the voter registration and all that stuff with what is the voter ID? Just dip thank you very much for voting Dip it in some ink your done because of course this never a good idea to have any kind of voting done like this Now did you see The pictures

CHAPTER 32 / 51 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Tongue Hole, Health Speculation

The hosts discuss viral images from the DNC appearing to show a hole or lesion on Hillary Clinton's tongue. Speculation ranges from a biopsy for HPV to a dental anomaly. They also comment on Bill Clinton appearing to fall asleep during his wife's keynote speech.

hillary clinton· tongue· biopsy· hpv· health

1:47:14 There were, maybe it was a day...it was a full day ago and I haven't really seen much about it. Of Hillary Clinton while she's doing her speech she is laughing with her mouth wide open and there's a visible hole in her tongue. Have you seen this? No! That just got to be anomaly. There's no hole in her tongue Yeah there is Go ahead and look at it. I'm sure it's all over if you just do an image search What is looks like, perhaps a biopsy... too big for a biopsy was the general analysis but could have been a piece that was cut out which would possibly be HPV could be genital wart But its pretty creepy

1:48:01 Oh, now I gotta slow down the show. No! I said...I gave you time. I know but I had to- I was listening intently as you were giving me time so actually couldn't do both at the same time You were frozen! You just- you were frozen in time. I was frozen? I choked?! Well look even with a hole in her tongue she looks a heck of lot better than Bill who did dose off during her speech there's no doubt about it he was sleeping Okay, she has a hole in her tongue. Maybe she had a piercing no it's off-center You wouldn't have a piercing it is off and it was way too far on the back for a piercing It's disgusting he's not fun to look at I agree well the piercing is too Images an image of this scream yeah with Hillary's head

1:48:54 Hold on, John hold on a second. I lost you there for a second. Yeah this is the famous painting from...I think Norway's or Sweden's famous painting or Denmark. Testing testing testing! Yeah yeah we gotcha now. Anyway the sky...I'll send ya links later it was very funny Okay i only got to one or two pictures but yeah very interesting wonder what that's uh well maybe it's i don't know okay well thank you for bringing that up oh i think i think it's important Maybe it's where a control panel is. It's an Anderson power pole socket, yeah I gotcha and Bill man everyone was saying that he did not look good no but he did perform! Yeah you jack him up

CHAPTER 33 / 51 Discussion

Bill O'Reilly, Motherhood vs Fatherhood, Political Psychology

A guest on Bill O'Reilly's program suggested that the Democratic Party represents "motherhood" while the Republican Party represents "fatherhood." The hosts find the observation astute, noting the DNC's heavy emphasis on nurturing and children. O'Reilly is criticized for dismissively cutting off the guest after the comment.

bill o'reilly· fox news· motherhood· fatherhood· psychology

1:49:42 I've talked about this before, but uh, Tony being you know these guys could do it. Yeah here's i want to play this little off beat clip before we get off the story completely just sitting here. I thought that this was very kind of observant they O'Reilly brought in and it also brings up like with the clip you just played O'Riley brings in this woman who some sort of a professional sociologists shrink of some sort to give an analysis. And she gives us really, I thought a very interesting take on the whole election and O'Reilly just says, O'Reilly just cuts her off and goes off to talk about something else this pays no attention she gets visibly irked you can see or just kind of bristle but play this so they can hear this kind of this very simple but it may have some truth to it

1:50:31 It's hard for me to even believe there is an undecided voter in this country. What do you say? Well, the thing that I would say is that yes, I think you're right they are polar opposites it is a personality contest and one other dichotomy I would throw in there is actually that the Democrats are the party of motherhood and the Republicans or the party of fatherhood Because I do think what you've seen is Hillary Clinton attempting to be a strong mother and what you see is Donald Trump attempting to be a strong father. That's an interesting observation, I think that's very astute doctor. Shut up and leave! But that doesn't really help them... Yes shut up and leave yeah And that kind of falls into play with your thing about her and all the children all the children yes

CHAPTER 34 / 51 Discussion

Bill Maher, Clinton Marriage, European Affairs

Bill Maher analyzed the Clintons' marriage, suggesting that "fucking around" can coexist with real love. He claimed that Europeans are more accepting of such arrangements, citing French politicians. The hosts mock Maher's romanticized view of European infidelity and his defense of the Clintons' relationship.

bill maher· hillary clinton· bill clinton· marriage· infidelity

1:51:23 Love love love love love love Trump's hate. Love, love, love. It's the way you talk if your globalist is perfect Bill Marshall I can't help myself from watching it I'm glad you're doing this because it gives me the opportunity to not have to watch that show. Isn't that exactly what The No Agenda Show is about? We do it so you don't have too and we do amongst ourselves, too! Yeah, you do it so I don't have to. That's great. Here's Bill Maher talking about... actually he was shocked, shocked he says, that Hillary opened up almost directly with the blowjob You'll hear him say this and what he means by that of course as well she says Well, we've had some good times and some heartbreak

1:52:04 But his analysis of this and their relationship is odd at best. Was anybody surprised that in the first minute of the speech she referenced the blowjob? Yeah, well... We all did it! Not directly No no she didn't say the word but I mean come on we all know what she said Bill you know thank the delegates thank my daughter and bill we've been through good times and some heartaches too. I mean we all knew what you, I was shocked that we...I think so too. It is good to point to the elephant in the room. Deflate that issue immediately! I gotta say, I always thought that the Clintons had a real marriage despite what everybody said it's a marriage of convenience it's an arranged marriages blah blah blah You know what? Fucking around

1:52:53 can live side by side with real love. Bill is a dog and he loves her, two thoughts in your mind! Europeans can do that we should be able to too Europeans can do it. Yeah? Europeans can do it! What is that he said?! I know, what is that bull crap!? That's totally insane... It's referring to the French aristocracy in the 1700s Ahhhh....it's a throwback Thursday And and I guess they just make the assumption that you know there and I think Americans do this and Europeans I don't think they're that much different than anybody any other Christian based culture

1:53:37 Americans assume that, and we do it longingly. American men especially American men but would American men do this longingly as though this would be so much better you want to live in Europe so you can be married soon some hottie some hot European chick and have a bunch of affairs and have a mistress You can have your wife then you can have your mistress is though you're in China or I think Americans also look longingly at the Saudis And oh! I could have 10 wives that'd be great Would by the way it wouldn't be great. Oh, I don't think of its tiring is what that is be horrible but So that's where they come all Europeans can do to Europeans on heaven you know and Oland It was an olander Sarkozy. I think a lot of motor scooter That was so cars so Sarkozy had his girlfriend on the back of his moped But now

CHAPTER 35 / 51 Discussion

Cornel West, Bill Maher, Neoliberalism vs Fascism

Cornel West appeared on Bill Maher's show to criticize Hillary Clinton's record on poverty and foreign policy, labeling her a "neoliberal." Maher used a train analogy to argue that while Clinton's "train" may be slow, Trump's "train" is heading to "hell." West maintained that voters should consider third-party candidates like Jill Stein.

cornel west· bill maher· neoliberalism· jill stein· gary johnson

1:54:31 Of course the show was, I watched the whole show and as Alex Wagner was on from MSNBC, the girl. And Cornel West really got into it and I just appreciate Cornel West because he's another black American telling the truth about what the real problems are with poverty which of course is concentrated when you have ghettoization of black people, brown people yellow people and white people. You know then it looks like it's racism but its poverty poverty poverty and he lays into it and Bill Maher well you'll hear about him. Hillary Clinton really do think has done nothing for poor? No I didn't say nothing

1:55:08 I said, she has not done what people say in terms of her being this great champion for poor people. That's a lie! It's a lie!! There are only two items on the menu. No we got three, we got Jill Stein! Hold up a sec... We've got four, we've got Gary! The third one is... You guys have two and half or two and quarter when you ask me At this moment it looks that way but Bernie started with 3% This is one of my pet peeves when people say, we have a 2 party system And here, they're not even... well luckily the other guy says Gary Johnson after Cornell West brings up Jill Stein. But we have many more! Vermin Supreme you can call him a crazy kook but he's running and he's an official candidate so this I really don't like it this is you know i don't care who wins

1:55:57 I on Twitter, I've already said you don't like what's going on. You know people that are normally Republicans they don't like Trump do they have to vote with Hillary? No you don't even want to I think you should get a woman president it's time for a woman president Jill Stein yeah we're gonna get to her in a minute. Bernie started with 3% too! So you think Jill Stein is gonna be President look me in the eye and tell me that We shall see But it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough! But part of it is this, though brother you gotta draw a line in the sand when I raised the question about David Duke and Donald Trump In your own mind you had to draw a line in the sand? I'd draw a line in the sand. That's just dumb analogy. And its not dumb at all because all that shows under certain conditions You wouldn't make a choice between two folks Nice Let me let me as long as we're doing analogies Okay so he makes a good point there

1:56:55 He said, hey man you show that you're not willing to... You don't even want one of the two others. His analogy is good and of course Bill Maher does what Bill Maher does Let me give you an analogy Okay let's work with this You're on a train station Yes Right here in LA You wanna go to San Francisco There's a wedding up there You gotta get there There's one train that goes to San Francisco But it's a little slower than the one you want There's one other train leaving but its not going to San Francisco It's going to hell! And the bots go crazy. It's not going to hell, it's going to San Diego which is a lovely city but it's not where you want to go You wanna go to San Francisco The only other train that's going in the opposite direction Now listen to this Do you get on the train thats' going in the direction you wanna go but slower or do you go to San Diego? Let me answer the question can I just answer the question

1:57:46 I love this analogy though, but let's look at it this way. The Clinton train Wall Street security surveillance militaristic not good that going in the same direction. I love this because he starts off by saying first of all Bill Maher is just He's wrong. You say, hey but you want to go this way like everyone wants this everybody wants what Hillary is doing Bill Maher is a comic and he uses comic style and he uses models that he knows to shut somebody up. Yeah Colonel West who I've never liked I think he's a blowhard but he is a professional black...He's an agitator if you had him in the room and you were gonna argue with him you would lose! Lose yeah

1:58:32 But he's gonna finish it up and what I like is the crowd who when he says you know Hillary Train is doing and people start to clap until they realize wait a minute That's not They're all butthurt. The Clinton train, Wall Street security surveillance militaristic... That's not going in the same direction I'm going! It's just better than a neo-fascist like Trump that's all. You really think Hillary Clinton is on the same spectrum as a neo fascist? No, I said neo fascists like Trump Right, but you think she's in... Okay. She is a neoliberal! She has to be. Bam! I'm not calling her neofascist. Let's clarify that. But I do believe neoliberalism is a disaster. I do believe that when it comes to poor people and when it comes with people in other parts of the world dealing with US foreign policy and militarism. Oh absolutely Ask the people in Libya about that. Ask the people on the West Bank. And so Amar he was like okay

CHAPTER 36 / 51 Discussion

Jill Stein, Foreign Policy, Weapons Marketing

Green Party candidate Jill Stein has criticized Hillary Clinton's use of private emails and her ties to "war profiteers." Stein described U.S. foreign policy as essentially a "marketing strategy for selling weapons." The hosts express appreciation for Stein's directness and her "troublemaker" style.

jill stein· green party· foreign policy· weapons· emails

1:59:32 So what do we do? But once again Donald Trump is insane. This is Jill Stein, who I'm starting to like how she speaks. Not everything but... She's a troublemaker! I kind of like her because she's like a Bernie style troublemaker. Yeah. She's one of the people that would be out in the protests. There are some Indian women, India-style or she's American Indian not Native American but who is like a Seattle...she says like one of the councilwomen from Seattle. She's outstanding there's a bunch of these troublemakers that are just they hate Hillary. Well here we go. You're going get Trump elected by

2:00:19 I mean, Jill Stein wants to get votes. Yeah! Oh she does and i like her tactic better than Gary Johnson's. Gary Johnson calls everybody racist and stoned. This is not the Gary Johnson that I knew No it's not the Gary Johnson either of us knew really All right here we go Jill Stein And the fact is she deleted one half of her email saying they are private I would ask, how leisurely is the job of being Secretary of State that half your time can be spent discussing your yoga classes or your daughter's wedding or your grandchildren? That's not what you do on company time. We are not paying her to conduct half of her email volume on private matters while she in fact is providing contracts. Exactly! While she was providing lucrative

2:01:08 to war profiteers, in fact and to countries with whom we are engaged in very dubious and illegal enterprises. It's kind of a false argument, but I thought it was funny she did that. I liked it! I liked it. It was good. Quick follow-up and this is something you and I both agree with as she explains in seven seconds what the United States foreign policy is really all about. Go! And in fact what we have is a foreign policy which is essentially a marketing strategy for selling weapons. Yeah there ya go. Nailed it Jill Stein for president

CHAPTER 37 / 51 Discussion

DNC Bullying Video, Hillary Clinton, Kindness Campaign

The DNC featured a video of a young girl with asthma asking Hillary Clinton about bullying. Clinton responded by calling for more "love and kindness" in the country. The hosts criticize the segment as scripted and emotionally manipulative, designed to frame political opposition as "bullying."

hillary clinton· bullying· dnc· kindness· campaign video

2:01:45 I thought that was good. That was good like that yeah she's got the right pitch for all this stuff so let's play, i got this clip this is one of the movies a little movies they played Which were just dynamite. I thought they'd kicked ass with those things. This is the one about bullies. Oh yes, this was a good one. And by the way if you listen to this little girl who's talking to Hillary... Actress! Oh yeah oh i know that which clip? I got it, I got it. You are a disgusting fat body private pilot! Lookin' right in that fat ugly face of hers

2:02:27 I don't know what I said. What are you going to do about people who want to be mean and all this bullying? Can you tell me a little bit more about why that's on your mind. I have asthma, and occasionally I've heard people talking behind my back...I mean people it's not contagious That was really brave! I've said this a couple of times in this election recently And i know its sort-of odd coming from a person running for president but..i really do think

2:03:12 We need more love and kindness in our country. That's why it is important to stand up to bullies wherever they are, and why we shouldn't let anybody bully his way into the presidency because that is not who we are as Americans. Gotta use it twice can't help it and I like the be me the good little girl asked What about people who are mean? Mean so you didn't have a mean thing mean is your quaint meanness with bullying when in mean this is not necessarily the same thing No, no. It's also know does not meet the same thing But it's also its kind of talking down to Hillary's voters like you know we have to put it in these terms

CHAPTER 38 / 51 Discussion

Women's Rights, 1995 Radicalism, Windows 95

Bill Clinton claimed at the DNC that Hillary's 1995 statement "women's rights are human rights" was radical at the time. The hosts dispute this, arguing that the sentiment was already mainstream in the mid-90s. They reminisce about the actual "radical" event of 1995: the difficult installation of Windows 95 via floppy disks.

hillary clinton· women's rights· 1995· windows 95· beijing

2:03:59 So you understand it. I don't know, I didn't like... I had one more clip that wanted to get out of the way. Alright please. I need to move on from this Try this one Bill, I just want to talk over with you because you were alive in 1995 weren't you? I sure was! 1995 my first company I was like well play this plate. This is Bill Clinton talking about Hillary and how great she is Bill in 1995 radical statement when she said women's rights are human rights and human rights or women's right? In 1995 that was a radical statement Yeah, you know this I've picked up this meme And I'll just tell you my immediate thought about this because when I heard this Like 1995

2:04:48 This was not, I don't recall that as being something. I'm not a woman so maybe I just experienced it differently. Well let's ask the women out there! 1995 is like two years after the web started showing up in the internet we all had personal computers yeah 1995 was in the middle of Clinton's era I believe and Yes, it was just like if it was like 21 years ago. So 21 years ago you telling me 21 years ago I think this is to appeal to a younger audience that doesn't know what's going on Well, you know the younger audience the younger audience also does not know nor do they care about Monica Lewinsky They don't and they don't know they just it's like whatever something happened They don't know of course. They're not gonna try and find out It's not really being explained worth time well true

2:05:39 So it doesn't really matter. But yeah, I remember hearing that and thinking well that's odd...I don't think.. I remember one thing... 1916 or maybe before the women had the right to vote maybe? Well i had 60% of women in my company It was a majority women at the time you know this was dot-com bubble of course so everyone was making good money But I don't remember that to be... It was radical to say human rights or women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights. Was radical in 1995 people went, oh my god how can you say such a thing? I know. Bull crap! You know i was too consumed. I know what I was doing but I remember I had 20 floppy disks and I was installing Windows 95 and it took about three weeks

2:06:29 Remember that the first Windows 95 and a big box of or actually then it became a box of yeah It was this right. It was floppy, and then you're right But then there was always be one floppy that was bad And he had to go find someone who had did you have floppy number eight for? windows 95 install Good times now you wrote in in the newsletter something interesting about this not necessarily being the you know the the most vitriolic election cycle of all time in history because you had was it Jefferson Adams is that what you referred to? Yeah, Jefferson Adams.

CHAPTER 39 / 51 Discussion

Historical Election Vitriol, Jefferson vs Adams, USSR

The hosts discuss the history of nasty political campaigns, noting that the Jefferson-Adams race was far more vitriolic than the current cycle. They mention past allegations of Democrats seeking help from the USSR. They also recall the harsh criticisms Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton leveled at each other during the 2008 primary.

thomas jefferson· john adams· election history· ussr· barack obama

2:07:10 Do you have any backup material? Because they were saying horrible things about each other. Oh, they're saying a toothless jerk, he's got a short midget and he's bald. It was about being bald it was horrible! That's fantastic This was par for the course probably until I don't know, maybe when Franklin Roosevelt was re-elected the second time. This is the way it was! That's the way those campaigns went. What we're seeing today it just nuts there's nobody this is soft stuff this crazy mild that why people are so stunned oh my god what did Trump say? Didn't the Democrats if I remember

2:07:56 Maybe I don't remember. You might remember better. Did the Democrats ask back then the USSR to help elect Walter Mondale? Wasn't there something... I think it was... I sure don't remember that. Here we have, Democrat Speaker of the House Jim Wright sent a letter signed by nine other Democrats to Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega. Okay that was different example I'll have to look this up but there's some reporting that drawing Russia into our election is not necessarily something new. But of course you never want to underestimate the short-term memory of the United States population because that's about all we got. Well, in the media! That's about all we have. We have very short term memory for everything

2:08:43 Yeah, that's the truth. No one remembers President Obama or president elect or no candidate Obama saying Hillary lies She never has the same story me all that stuff yeah We should put together a whole clip of that But the nasty things Obama said about Hillary and what she said about him? Yeah There was a lot of nasty going on it audible has this Presidents Are People 2 channel, not that I subscribe to it. One of our producers does and sent this to me and this is... You as the resident historian may get a kick out of this

CHAPTER 40 / 51 Discussion

Thomas Jefferson, Mac and Cheese, Champagne History

A segment from an Audible channel claims Thomas Jefferson introduced mac and cheese, French fries, and champagne to the White House. The hosts question the accuracy of the mac and cheese claim but acknowledge Jefferson's role as a Francophile who brought many European customs to America.

thomas jefferson· mac and cheese· champagne· french fries· history

2:09:20 Some of John Adams other accomplishments. We can also credit Jefferson for recording the first known recipe for ice cream I'm sorry, I said Jefferson is what I meant to say not Adams Jefferson we can also credit Jefferson for recording the first known recipe for ice cream and French fries which he introduced to The White House along with mac and cheese and champagne Which are basically all of my favorite thing wait a minute? I'm not buying Mac and cheese and Champagne First of all great combo I would imagine that he, since he was a Franco file. Let's just make it easy and he brought a whole bunch of hope Brianna and Lafitte and all these great wines over got fuse over there for a long time as I think it was the ambassador for awhile and Mac and cheese? I don't think so

2:10:10 I doubt that. I'd like to see some documentation that Jefferson introduced mac and cheese. Yeah, and champagne! Come on he didn't introduce champagne. Champagne? I believe. Really? Yeah, I believe in it. I like the combo Champagne and macadamia seeds. She's in champagne, yeah? Yeah I know i can believe the champagne it may or may not be true but I can believe because It was that...yeah! It was a fairly new product uh in the 1700s it was introduced first invented I think In the late 1600s and there is alot of reasons they couldn't have gotten over here that you know that soon um hmmm well I do one more thing to discuss just before we go to our next thing

CHAPTER 41 / 51 Discussion

Republican Platform, Conversion Therapy, Media Misinformation

The hosts fact-check claims by Chris Matthews and Gavin Newsom that the 2016 Republican platform supports "conversion therapy." Upon reviewing the document, they find the word "therapy" appears only once regarding general medical choice. They conclude the media is extrapolating and spreading misinformation about the platform's contents.

republican platform· conversion therapy· chris matthews· gavin newsom· fact check

2:10:53 This is, and this came from you. When you started looking into this conversion therapy and other bull crap that was mentioned by accusatorily thrown at the vice president Pence. So I hear this and first thing I think I believe I heard it from Gavin Newsom on...I don't have a clip but I think he said it first About you know praying the gay out of people. Yes, then I heard this is this clip is conversion therapy and this is Chris This hardball Chris Matthews right in the middle of them yelling and screaming at each other He says this there was stuff in The Republican Platform about conversion therapy Let's make sure we do that next week Everyone's going yeah, yeah Bullshit

2:11:46 I, you can go to Google and type in 2016 Republican platform PDF and you can get the real Republican platform. The word therapy itself is only mentioned once and that has to do with people should be able to choose their own doctors and medicines and therapies...therapy The conversion therapy is never mentioned anywhere in the whole thing. If you want to bring up and just read any old random sentence and say to yourself, well that must mean conversion therapy. Uh yeah. The only thing it's an extrapolation because it does say under family says parents should be able to choose any type of therapy or treatment they wish for their children. Yeah

2:12:34 And that has been construed or changed into, oh there's a conversion therapy! And these are the people who are at the conventions. They're covering it they haven't even read it no they have not even read the document I read it and you can I read the democrat platform too It's all you know come on You can download it and do a keyword use search for anything So I said, OK let me take check this. I download and type start tried to type conversion now beep no there's no you can't get past C O N V E R. No it's not that. And so then you go well maybe therapy? There is one use of the word therapy and you cite it. Yeah thats it. This is bull crap!

CHAPTER 42 / 51 Discussion

Roger Ailes, Fox News, Sexual Harassment Allegations

Following Roger Ailes' departure from Fox News, the hosts discuss the sexual harassment allegations against him. They examine a report by Gabriel Sherman claiming Ailes made female job applicants "twirl" to inspect their legs. The hosts argue that while crude, selecting talent based on appearance is a standard function of the television industry.

roger ailes· fox news· sexual harassment· gabriel sherman· kimberly guilfoyle

2:13:16 Yeah, it is. You know what? They don't know they're lying that's one thing or maybe they heard Gavin Newsom say it was in there so oh must be in there well this has been... What does it take to download the document and just look at it to make sure you're not talking out of your a-hole now well that's what we attempt to do I have one a little funny thing here. But, I think i kind of deconstructed a little bit of what was going on over at Fox News Channel with Roger Ailes and why he put that my assertion is he got kicked off because the Democrats who really run Fox News...I'll just say it again who really are in charge of it

2:13:54 They felt that he went too far by allowing Donald Trump to bring up rape accusations against Bill Clinton and you know we have some kind of backstory to back some of that up, that could be going on. Now what happens then is Roger Ailes is outed with all these complaints, he's just horrible, what an ape... All the women hated him Right now You and I know When you're in the television business, and I would like to remind you that uh... i have not heard anyone complain In a long time about the women on Fox News channel. And why do people not complain? Because they're beautiful! And it's television, its entertainment and beautiful people are usually hired on TV You and I do our bit from time-to-time we'll talk about

2:14:43 I think all the women on Fox are lawyers. That's almost minimum requirement, you have to be a lawyer and you gotta be hot looking. And this is not us being misogynistic A-holes it's how television has worked forever and if you remember the Sony hacks where the president of Sony is joking around about, hey maybe just send Obama to see 12 Years a Slave. You know they're making racial jokes it's what happens but in the entertainment business particularly with how people look men and women and I would assert that young men have are horribly abused in Hollywood so on fresh air NPRs fresh air

2:15:26 There's this guy, Gabriel Sherman I think his name is. And he's talking about some of these allegations now when you hear about the allegation what do you think the allegations are against Roger Ailes from all these women who have come out of the woodwork about his sexual harassment? Is he pinching their butt? Is he grabbing their boob? Is he rubbing up against them, is he trying to kiss them. No! Here it is! It's shocking! The actual process by which Roger Ailes selects the female talent that go on screen I reported Last week that he asked a job applicant to stand and show off her legs. He Literally makes women stand up during their job interviews with him into a twirl so he can examine there There's nothing subtle about it. He wants to he wants to look yeah, that's his job That's his job

2:16:24 This is totally his job because he's going to put them on one of the ends of the table and they're gonna have to cross her legs and show off her legs. It should be somebody like Kimberly Guilfoyle who enjoys that fact, one time Guilfoyle was talking on a O'Reilly thing as one of the two guests She was talking about the, this was during the era of the scanners that they had at the airport and there was a big scandal about oh you could actually see the person's body underneath. Well no we destroy those pictures and then it turns out they didn't destroy them. And then there was guy in back bringing guys around look at this one! And Guilfoyle instead of condemning the practice she says well I think it'd be fine because I don't mind showing off

CHAPTER 43 / 51 Discussion

Producer Credits, Knighting Ceremony, Birthday Wishes

The hosts conclude the show by thanking numerous individual donors and reading their notes. They discuss a project to digitize the Redd Foxx comedy collection and the importance of preserving physical media. Sir John Knowles is knighted as Sir John of Murfreesboro, and several listeners receive "karma" for birthdays and job searches.

None of this will be around in a couple decades none of it

2:18:34 It'll be gone. In fact, now that you bring it up I'm very concerned about a lot of the stuff on the internet that is valuable and not to mention the old Red Fox albums which are all gone i mean there's only they're just disappearing as time goes by and eventually there'll be none left And we're talking about the party albums that were done in the 50s and 60s I believe those are the years? And they usually went sold to a black audience or semi-dirty very old kinds of jokes and You just can't find him anymore, and then they're hard to come by even if you try I bought a number of them Just from collectors And that don't see that many floating around a lot of women comics a lot of the stuff can't be found at all A lot of psychedelic music Yes, think of a couple tongue-in-groove is a good one.

DNC Optics, Khizr Khan, Katy Perry Performance

The hosts review the final optics of the DNC, including Khizr Khan's speech and the presence of his "subservient" wife. They critique Katy Perry's performance, noting technical issues with her monitors. Additional observations include Chelsea Clinton's "robotic" delivery and the use of celebrity appearances like Elizabeth Banks.

khizr khan· katy perry· chelsea clinton· dnc· optics

2:27:02 Where are we now? Well, I would like to at least get one thing out of the way. I have my list of notes which I ran through last time and want to run through a new one. I'm not going to make this ever the same all the time but... And this is your list that were still on the convention? This is the convention notes and when you have big event it's easier take notes than getting clips. But this will wrap it up Okay, red red red red all the women a lot of the women wearing red and that was course to mark of the devil Yes And I include Granholm with her dry mouth and she's wearing a red thing There was a moment where they had two podiums up. I don't know how they got him there I think they moved in by hand why? Why what was wrong at the main point of you bring it somebody on one side than the other than the I didn't notice That yes, it was weird

2:27:48 There's a guy that got to come out this Muslim characters, I guess Afghani. I'm not sure it came out to berate Trump and everybody else and he had a his son died. He was a lieutenant in the army or the Marines and he's got to Plead the vote for Hillary and he brought out, and I thought this was bad optics He brought out his subservient wife who came out. It's a little woman Yeah You know not a hijab because someone Twitter says it's not a job you don't know what you're talking about you have culture your culturally ignorant He says to me I asked him with then What was it can you tell me? I never heard back But she was wearing as far as I can tell everyone said it was her job but looked like in a job And there she wasn't I think was a kneecap

2:28:33 A kneecap. Okay, well she was out there silently... A little behind him a little behind him And when they walked off he was guiding her telling her how to leave and all the rest because He pushed her out of the stage and then he waved I just thought it was bad optics so you had this quiet woman She wasn't allowed to say a word No And she was standing right there It was kind of creepy I thought I don't know I think he also misquoted the Constitution Oh, that could be. I think he misquoted it. Yeah because look at the Constitution, the pursuit of liberty and then he had some long sentence which ended in happiness It sounded like... Of course i have a constitution with me at all times an app for it

2:29:17 Katy Perry came out she was holding the mic instead of going to the podium and lecturing us. Yeah, Katy Perry had some real problems She of course has been on the road with Hillary and she wanted to make this her big you know a big You know love love What we call it just a Big statement a statement okay statement of love towards Hillary And she was very nervous, but then even worse and this in Christina. I were watching this the sound it's difficult These are you know these are very difficult venues when you have a lot of people and you know changes of sets crap sounds crappy sounds Yeah, if she had her ear thing the minute She started singing you saw her left arm went back to the back of her neck and that's where her IFB so does yeah That's well It's it's not quite an IFB But it's no it's a high fidelity

2:30:08 Stereo receiver and she could not get it right in her eyes when all kind of like Adele remember when Adele been when she Didn't work out at what performance. She was fiddling with this thing because she's going from ear to ear trying to hear herself She apparently this thing was couldn't yourself Yeah, I was no good And so that was a disaster disparaged your parents along the way I didn't know there were oh, that's right Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought that was not cool Chelsea came out, she was doing a... She had her red dress on again and when she gave her robotic-like speech, she was smacking her lips like crazy. In fact I got tweets from people saying you hear the smacking? You hear the smacking? It's nasty. And she says never ever all of the time.

2:30:55 She was also positioned off-center for some reason on the stage. I don't know what the meaning of that was. Morgan Freeman, this guy exploiting... Oh yeah then the Democrat Party at the end they were exploiting 9-11 which i thought was... Come on how long ago was this? Most people that are in the convention aren't even old enough to remember When Hillary was, when Obama was on one of the videos talking about how great Hillary was he was constantly looking down as if he was lying. He would not...he's looking down and saying good things about Hillary then look up once in awhile

2:31:34 Oh, this was his exit interview. So you want to do a good job. Right? The beginning of Hillary's speech if you really listen to most of it... It was really a review of the other speeches. She didn't get into her speech until it was halfway through. Stronger Together, Powerful Forces that was what started crying actors all through the audience I think they hired certain people that could cry and they were crying. I totally believe in that We owe the girl that someone mentioned to me. I hadn't really picked up on who was the The Hunger Games girl Yeah, what's her name? They're little she's blonde normally It was odd to have her there and I agree Because everyone is thinking about what does a an actor or what as a person represent if she kind of represents like you know Armageddon

2:32:27 If you think of the Hunger Games. Yes, it's very funny! I thought that was kind of odd that they put her in there... What is her name? Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence. Thank You chat room. PewDiePie. Okay, yeah, I mean these can be... It's all about optics really. Hillary used the word or talked about or said Donald Trump 22 times Elizabeth Banks, I'm sorry. Elizabeth Banks not Jennifer Lawrence. Elizabeth Banks. No! Elizabeth... Oh, Elizabeth Banks came on right but Jennifer Lawrence was the actress in The Congregation. She's the... Right okay. See what i know? Yeah yeah dead blonde actress I mean come on. Stand up and twirl

Off-Walking Podcast, German Producers, De-douching

The hosts "de-douche" the producers of the German "Off-Walking" podcast after they were unfairly criticized. They acknowledge the support of German listeners and mention the "Merkel muss weg" (Merkel must go) protest movement currently active in Germany.

2:33:12 Okay, and I got the D... Oh! The Off-Walking team. That's what i get to know from now you don't have to look for them.

CHAPTER 46 / 51 Discussion

CNN Europe on the Edge, Munich Shooting, Terrorism Definition

CNN produced a segment titled "Europe on the Edge" that attempts to redefine terrorism for a millennial audience. The piece claimed the Munich shooting was not terrorism because the perpetrator was a "bullied teenager" without a political agenda. The hosts denounce the segment as blatant propaganda designed to downplay security concerns in Europe.

cnn· munich· terrorism· isis· propaganda

2:34:38 It's... Okay, well we expect some reports from these guys eventually. Yeah I know they will definitely help. Just on the Amerika Mussweg, while this is happening, while Germany is saying hey hold on a second what is going on here? You know Merkel your policy is no good there are thousands of people in different cities around the country Here is CNN's version of what is going on in Europe It's called, Europe on the Edge. The New Normal Now you have to- this is a produced piece with this millennial chick and it just... mind boggling Imagine being in a crowded public place like this and a man pulls out a gun He starts shooting there are mass casualties but it is terrorist attack or is it a mass kill?

2:35:28 What's the difference between the two and ultimately, does it matter? Well terrorism according to Webster's dictionary is the use of a violent act to instill fear in order to achieve a political goal. One of the seminal acts of terrorism actually happened here in Munich at 1972 Olympics that's when 11 Israeli athletes were held hostage and tortured and tortured by the Palestinian Black September movement. They made demands to release prisoners, and in the rescue attempt both hostages and terrorists were killed. Increasingly though we're seeing terrorist organizations are not making any demands they're just trying to inflict mass casualties and instill fear think of many suicide bombings or the Paris terror attacks in 2015 multiple shootings multiple explosives

2:36:16 What we're also seeing is that terror groups like ISIS have been attracting and exploiting vulnerable individuals. Omar Mateen may have opened fire on that crowded Orlando, Florida club out of personal anger but he also swore allegiance to ISIS and the San Bernardino killers well they went on that shooting spree inspired by ISIS And ISIS has been quick to claim ownership even when there is little direct evidence that ISIS was involved Now here in Munich, there were very real fears of multiple shooters engaged in a terrorist attack. It turned out to be the violent act of a single bullied teenager. No political motivation no terrorist attack

2:36:58 But for the families of victims, that hardly matters. Whatever their motivation it does nothing to reduce the pain of their loss." Alright now this and I-this mix first of all... "...and the music my god!" Well it's meant to mind control you there's no doubt! This music with her really low in the mix What the hell? It's like almost subliminal that how low she was. And to say, Munich no political agenda Oh no just a teenager who was severely bullied Are you fucking kidding me?! He said I'm sick and tired of the Turks! This is not terrorism because it doesn't have political motivation are you kidding me again!?

2:37:45 And this is clear, I've never seen this girl before. Clearly meant to somehow indoctrinate or send the message to the young children who are not watching CNN as far as i know. By far! This is the irony of this. Even the irony of our explaining. Yeah yeah yeah...I heard on the radio yesterday that and Christina is she's God I love having my kid around it sucks that she lives so far you learn so much from these kids like you know Facebook you know this is dead this isn't no one's on Facebook anymore I'm gonna said yeah but you look at the demographic that quit the fastest growing demographic on Facebook is 50 year old married women yeah that's it

Stolen US Weapons, Stuttgart Base, German Security

RT reported that firearms and military equipment were stolen from a U.S. military base in Stuttgart, Germany, which houses elite units like Green Berets and Navy SEALs. The theft occurred over a month ago but was only recently disclosed. The hosts link this security breach to the heightened tensions and recent attacks in Germany.

stuttgart· green berets· navy seals· stolen weapons· germany

2:38:27 Yeah, they just talk amongst themselves. I'll just sit and... I'd say the same thing. I get the same information from Jay. And Jay doesn't go on Facebook she says everyone's crazy. Instagram and Snapchat and the rest of it really don't care. Snapchat is a big deal yeah. So interesting piece of propaganda there. Yeah directed at who? What for what purpose is all these questions? I Mean talking about Germany and all that sort of thing and oh nobody's really scared because there's no real agenda play this clip This is a little. I think this is slightly suppressed. I didn't hear about it except on RT This the missing weapons in Germany yes, I did hear about this

2:39:10 Firearms and military equipment reportedly stolen from a US military base in the German city of Stuttgart. That's despite tightened security in the country after a recent string of terror attacks The base is situated just outside Stuttgart, the facility houses some elite units of the U.S. Military including Green Berets Navy SEALs and other special forces RT's Peter Oliver reports Well, this all came from a report from Stars and Stripes. It's a US Defense Department publication. It pretty much just tells us a lot of unknowns. It says that we don't know exactly what weapons were stolen, how many weapons were stolen

2:39:52 who took them or how they were taken. The theft, as we're looking at it right now, took place over a month ago but we're only finding out about it now and of course this news just adds fuel to a fire that we have here in Germany. Over the last 11 days we've seen four attacks in the country, two of those have been directly linked to asylum seekers who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. So the whole country... Look over here! Nothing to see here. Ooh look at that! Yeah nothing going on don't worry about it. Right? Right

CHAPTER 48 / 51 Discussion

Zika Virus, Florida Transmission, Funding Push

Florida has reported the first local transmission of the Zika virus via mosquito bites in Miami-Dade County. The hosts analyze the sudden, coordinated media "push" on this story, suggesting it is a tactic to pressure Congress for $1.9 billion in funding. They question where the money will actually go, citing past issues with Ebola funds.

zika virus· florida· miami-dade· congress· funding

2:40:29 So yesterday afternoon as we're parking the rig and getting everything set up, the news is one thing and one thing only. Zika, zika, zika... Before I get a little speech, I want to mention this. I've been getting these clips and all of a sudden all the networks, CNN but mainly ABC NBC CBS they all started the news! All! Top of the news top of the news I thought it was very strange. It screwed me up because i didn't get a lot of clips Oh no, I only got this one Zika, zika, zika, zika, zika. Yeah! Where's the money? 1.9 billion dollars. Zika, zika, zika, zika, zika. Yeah! Where is the money? And here it is... Small heads are coming. You're gonna do it you watch. Well we were right small heads are coming this is the first transference by mosquito heres the mayor This morning we learned that four people in our state likely have the Zika virus as a result of a mosquito bite this means Florida has become the first state in our nation to have local transmission of the Zika virus

2:41:34 Ground zero. All four of these people live in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, all four the people live in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. And the Florida Department of Health believes that active transmissions of this virus could be occurring in one small area, in one small area in Miami-Dade County as just north of downtown. This area is about 1 square mile and Dr. Phillip will give the exact location a little bit later. One of these four cases involves a woman, and the other three cases involve men. They're all active Zika cases and have not exhibited symptoms to be admitted to the hospital."

2:42:16 Testing of mosquitoes in this area has been happening, in this area where the small area for about two weeks. While no mosquito traps have tested positive for the Zika virus The Department of Health is aggressively testing people in the affected area to ensure there are no other cases of this virus So the only thing I think is Congress not back from recess and it's just not the number one thing on their agenda again This 1.9 billion dollars they're still trying to get to give that as friends I don't know. Why else? You know, this is...I have yet to figure out whether and they really took it all the networks took a big run at it was it was it was a push a push a push I would say a push not a put you better push yeah push major major push

2:42:59 Yeah, I know it's the same thing. Well again for those of you who are new to the program this is we've deconstructed the whole thing This money is supposed to come from the Ebola money It's supposed to come from other countries mainly just half a billion alone is owed to the fund by the United Kingdom. Yeah, all the people that promised to give money including The Gates Foundation they choked it. No no we're not giving any more money. And the Silicon Valley Friends of Silicon Valley The Housewives of Silicon Valley foundation 25 million? Nah nah they're just welching on it. But its going to Dutch military a lot of its going to nationalistic organizations You read right from the document and most of this moneys is not going to any sort of where it's supposed to go for

Stolen Gun Meme, Confiscation Strategy, Stockton Mayor

A news story about a gun stolen from the Stockton Mayor's home being used in a murder is identified as a new media meme. The hosts predict a "long game" strategy where gun owners are held responsible for thefts to justify future weapon confiscations. They argue that reporting a stolen gun does not inherently prevent its criminal use.

2:43:46 Okay, well I've got a couple of I think upcoming memes we can expect okay And then we'll wrap it up because we're okay. I got two of them all right I got two things to look out for all right I want you to play this style stolen gun meme clip first and then explain what, what I think we're going to start to see. Authorities say a gun stolen from the home of Stockton's mayor last year was used to kill a 13-year old boy someone shot and killed Rashawn Harris outside his home in February 2015 while he was waiting to go to school. Stockton police say Mayor Anthony Silva did not report the guns stole until March a month after Harris was killed. The San Joaquin County Sheriff

2:44:25 Keene County District Attorney's office says the gun was also used when someone fired multiple shots into a home just one month before Harris' death. No one was hurt in that shooting now for his part, Mayor Silva says he didn't report the gun stolen right away because he didn't live in the house where it was stolen at the time so he did not know it had been taken Your gun's missing. Your house got broken into and you didn't report it, so that's not a good example." I'm still in shock and heartbroken. They bring this guy on, oh he didn't report the missing gun! This is unbelievable! Now if he reported or didn't report it how was that going to stop the murder?

2:45:07 I'm asking you this question. No, it's not but you're not a responsible gun owner so you should be banned from owning guns You're gonna start to see these stories about the guys who have stolen guns people stealing guns from people Yeah, you're not a response right? You know responsible owner. You should be banned from getting guns and This is this will be the long game for confiscation of weapons throughout the United States put in the book in the book Okay, it's in the book good now the other one which I think is an upcoming meme, but this may or may not play out. But you have to play this commercial. This is a commercial for Panera and you have to see the commercials in some ways because they all these stats on the front over the ad but play this Panera clean food. Can't just tell me what Panera is before? Or should I listen first? Panera is a chain, oh you should know. Panera's a chain, I'm sure there are some in Texas of huge chains that it's a bakery chain that you also go in there

Panera Clean Food, Rebranding Organic, Bread and Water

Panera Bread has launched a marketing campaign for "clean food," which the hosts believe is a rebranding effort to replace the legally problematic "organic" label. They mock the term as meaningless corporate jargon. The hosts jokingly propose a "clean" bread and water restaurant concept as a high-end trend.

2:46:03 sandwiches. It's actually one of Andrew Horowitz' pet peeve companies because he says you there's it but Panera is all over the country they're like a little thing you draw, but is basically a bread baker that's turned into a restaurant Oh like a toast place? Maybe We think clean food tastes better feels better does better 100% of our food will be cleaned by year's end every bite will be food as it should What? Wow. Apparently up to 95% of their food's clean, Clean. It's called clean food. Here's what I'm thinking. Oh geez! And it's gonna be...I think they're going to try and push this idea of clean food To replace the natural organic food. Ohhhhhh This will be a new branding. We're rebranding everybody Hello, it's time to rebrand

2:47:03 It's just a rebranding of, I don't know natural organic. I'm not sure but it's they're using it clean food we're gonna almost 100% clean food and if they never say this but it implies that the food is like maybe you know see there kind of food that has gotten Not I'm sure it's more like a GMO free, but also no maybe. No you know I think you're right is Morgan It's the organic label is problematic for a whole bunch of legal reasons And then in Europe they use biological which cracks me up people say well its biological fuck my poop is biological Right

2:47:45 So that's their branding there, but clean food. I think you're onto something. Yeah, I don't know if it's going to catch on but saying the food is a hundred percent clean... Clean! I think that what they're gonna do is they're gonna say that we hope to be 100% clean and just hope the public buys into whatever that even means. It doesn't mean anything this isn't Just a trick. Well, it's a trick. It's bull crap is what it is clean food I wash my food. I'm not buying from the Chinese guy who leaves a bunch of dirt in the bok choy well along these lines I was thinking of another no agenda business opportunity And you and you kind of set me up for just it's been a bug in my mind You know we're always looking to you know to retire

2:48:36 Yeah, yeah that's gonna. Um you know so we now we went from We knew about the grilled cheese and the macaroni and cheese we were very early on that And I went to toast and your follow-up is the logical next trend would be bread in water right But I'm thinking what if we class it up like if we make it French like du pain et le You know yeah, that'd be the name of the place and we could have you will give you water But it will just have a whole bunch of soda streams in the back Just pumping it up with no, but you have to offer all these high-end water. Yeah, yeah But we'll know it'll be our only water be soda It'll be also the stream, but it's art will have our own flavors and You know the toast I would for instance. I think if I were doing a do pan Hello hello. Hello. Hello. I think Wonder bread. I think we could toast wonder bread and people would flock to it remember wonder bread

2:49:35 Oh yeah, they still sell it I believe. Yeah good stuff man! Anyway just... It was just a thought. Just to thought for us. Yeah i think we should think about it. Think about it further that is another money maker for us and someone else will do it for sure if money maker for us no however 100% clean clean that's right clean food clean bread and water don't you want clean food here DuPain et L'Eau Bonjour All right, we certainly need your support.
