Captain Talking Points

00:00 Get the little girl to cry! Back from break wearing my burkini and broadcasting live from the cap of the drone star state in Austin Tejas, FEMA region 6. In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where i am back from forced retirement! I'm John C DeVore It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! In The Morning! Hehehe yeah... Heyyyy yes back at home base in the crack pot condo in the skyscraper good to be here. In downtown Austin What?

00:43 Yeah. So how was your trip? What happened? Oh man, I got lots to talk about! Mainly getting back was a nightmare... Well that's not what we love talking about airport travel. Now i went up to Washington and had TSA pre-checked both ways because that was a godsend. Nice nice nice nice. Without actually being a registered member of PreCheck right Yes, if you are a frequent flyer for Southwest, you get an automatic pre-check about I'd say 90% of the time. So you could be an actual terrorist unscreened yet you get the pre-check?

01:22 Yeah, well they wouldn't catch me in any way which way doesn't make any difference. Pre-check's just the shorter line How was your anniversary? What'd you do? It was good we ate We had dinner at the house Good Well it's not like a special number so we just had a nice... Every year is a special number John! Don't you know women 101? My wife is gonna kill me if I don't get her something What did you get her I didn't get her anything. Oh man! No, i got her something it was just something I got her and uh... All right so you had good travels is what you're saying? It was pretty nice yeah went up down pretty quickly the trip back was a little somehow delayed I don't know why and um... And I got to do the one thing I wanted to do which is check out my wife's assertion about the pot shops

02:16 And I did just that. I went to a couple pot shops, the new one that just opened up they're all pretty nice. They usually have a big counter and then they have a bunch of stuff inside the counter and there's this back wall Is it at all like Amsterdam coffee shops? No nothing It's a little bit like I would say it's maybe reminiscent of the old-fashioned drug stores where they sold psilocybin. Psilocybin? Yeah, you know mushrooms. Sorry no i didn't know And it's kind of like that. But these places are elaborate and the number of edibles is completely off the charts, as soon as you read them. Yeah... And the clientele was exactly what she said! Old ladies! I would say when i was there, I saw about 10 old ladies

03:08 one young guy who was just this type of stone. The old ladies always go for the various sorts of edibles, mostly CBD stuff and if there's a guy... One guy came in and he went right to the buds and he bought him I don't know something. A bud? A bud! Give me a bud, Bud. Yeah yeah And that's about it so as I would say the ratio is probably 10-1 Well then of course we can talk briefly about denial of reclassification by the United States government. Oh, good! Good, good. Where's your clip? It says DEA. Just to make it official

03:48 Back in this country, the US Drug Enforcement Administration balks at reclassifying marijuana as a lesser drug. Instead it stays on the list of the most dangerous alongside heroin and ecstasy there is a growing push to legalize pot but the DEA said it still has high potential for abuse. outrageously illegal. And also, from what I understand from the reporting DEA is no longer going to be manufacturing synthetic marijuana because they said they couldn't get any consistent results and but isn't that's the whole point with something really organic like a flower or plant?

04:41 It's never going to be the same. That's like all wines are the same United States not unique in this crusade Thousands of people have marched through Berlin to call for the legalization of marijuana Though illegal in Germany, it is allowed in rare cases for medical use Earlier this year, the government backed a relaxation of rules on cannabis use by the seriously ill if there are no other treatment options There you go! A worldwide move Yeah, well this is ridiculous at this point. Why do you think... I mean besides the obvious that they would not want... The testing that's in shows especially when you know what you've told us about the old ladies then it's very beneficial to certainly some segments of the population and so I presume that's why oh no we can't have that! We want these old ladies on our drugs! We can't have them on a flower!! Right, that's exactly if there's all there is to it

05:37 It's un... Can't be more complicated than that. That and the few dorks, jerk-offs that are in law enforcement who, it should be legal because it should be illegal as a drug we do have here! We already got enough problems with alcohol! That type of asshole except for those guys and there's plenty of them uh it's just the drug companies And they're promoting this. Their drug companies get 10 bucks a pill for some of these arthritic medicines and these old ladies, by the way this stuff's not cheap my wife bought an ointment that...and the company you want is Mary's That's apparently one of the great companies that makes this stuff Is it M-E-R-Y? No no no, M-A-R-Y-S

06:23 Well, no. Snoop Dogg has Mary Jane I think or and it's an ER. Yes, I think they're out of Colorado and they there's this little cream and they get patches which My wife claims she's got arthritis and she claims patches work great, but she never tried the cream. She said most creams stink this stuff doesn't Mary's smells decent And so she rubs it on her On our hands and then within a couple hours or hands feel great as opposed to being in Awkward pain that she refuses to take these crazy you know take this and then drop dead pill Yeah

07:00 So anyway, I find this whole thing very annoying and then the DEA report is just ridiculous. It's shameful! Shameful these people should be ashamed of themselves. Since we already got alcohol... My journey back actually my journey and i went to the south of France. My buddy Michel from London his mom has had a house there for 15 years And I think I've been there four times probably And it's cool because it is in between Nice and Saint-Tropez. So you can get a flavor of both sides, although no matter where you want to go, exclusively you must get on the road between 1 and 2 in the afternoon when all the French are having lunch which is extremely consistent! There's no one on the road!

07:54 Otherwise, it can take you an hour and a half to get to Nice or if you want to go to Saint-Tropez. But wow! My goodness... If France really does and says and publishes and has conversations about radical Islam slash just Islam If the United States was really exposed to what they do, I mean Trump is nothing. France puts Trump to shame! It's really unbelievable. Like what? Well... Actually I have a couple clips that I picked up Let me see The first one would be Where is it? Big controversy as... One second here it is

08:48 Now, where Nice is and Cannes and actually Monaco is right along the coast. It connects to Italy so there's tons of refugees in Italy and they were trying to walk the beach and come enter France... And I think I sent you a picture anyone can look this up it's in the show notes There were terrorists, terrorism police On the rocks, kind of on the beach pepper spraying people who are trying to swim... come onto French land. Just a... crazy! Yeah really not the big controversy right now in Nice and in Cannes is the burkini

09:38 Yes, the burkini. There's a lot of stories on this over here about that just recently Here is the Euronews report Controversy in Cannes Burkinis have been banned on the beach It's being slammed as discriminatory The mayor says it's to prevent disorder in public places The ban on full body head covering swimsuits will run in the French Riviera resort until the end of August The decree is not the provocation, he says. It's those who wear this kind of outfits. They're like uniforms. I think there are several people... Maybe they wear it in good faith so we have to explain to them." Those flouting the ban can be fined while officials say it's in the interests of security others say the move will worsen religious tensions

10:23 It's ridiculous because I see naked people. And I don't understand why I can't be dressed, we do what we want! In schools i can respect secularism but on beaches it's ridiculous. The ban at the height of the summer... Yeah yeah so you can.. You know? What is the point? There's a logic thing here Well if you listen to the end of the report I just wanted to hear the final quote from this lady and then maybe Now this is the lady in her burkini No, this will be just a... It sounded like that one woman was defending the bikini. Yeah but I want you to hear the other side just hold on one second. The season comes after the deadly truck attack in nearby Nice France is on edge. I don't think wearing a bikini is illegal everyone has the right to go to the beach because it's a public area but at the same time if we think about women's rights if we accept more and more

11:15 things like this, it's like a regression. Under French laws face covering veils are already banned in public headscarves are also forbidden in public schools so that's what is about and the French are pretty open about this I spoke to a lot of people you know this is my second time in France this year and I have to say I do respect their consistency He's like, no we don't want this because if we let this go then before you know it'll just be normal and on the beach will be women in black burkinis. So here's the logic that when I saw this, there was a woman laying down. This is in the BBC or one of these outlets...I didn't remember but it was just a picture of her laying down on a burkini which is basically head to toe covering except for the eyes No! No no no no It does not cover the face, the burkini Well this one covered the face Okay, I didn't see that one Just a picture

12:15 And it was like, but you know it wasn't covering the face. It was covering everything but the eyes and nose Yeah And I didn't see... But even if it didn't so what? It's the same thing What are you doing on the beach which is where you go to get some sun If your covered from head to toe its idiotic why would you bother Well if your gonna go to the beach an lay down in the sun in a stupid burkini What what it's pointless is only there so this is actually to me It's just something that's done to make a point and if you did take that, this is the whole thing. This doesn't make a point I remember after 9-eleven I went to uh, he was like today after nine eleven and I went into the nokia the The Nokia or not nokia of the with IKEA say to the IKEA over here in Emeryville same country

13:04 Oh no, it's not. Same region! I went over there and they had some guy was dragging his wife around and she was in one of those head to toe You know, opera. I don't even know what it was is the kind they were in Dubai It's just no face No nothing black wander walking around where they're showing her off as this as a as of FU to anybody around and everyone just kind of rolled their eyes at this because it was stupid But it's the same thing. So this is what the burkini things all about. It's just to make a point Well, the problem is the point is we're here get us do it Yeah The provocation comes from two angles and I actually tweeted a picture of the latest Charlie Hebdo

13:44 Which is in the supermarket, what they call a casino. I have a copy you should actually take a look at it. The tweet that i sent out its really funny and I can imagine extremely offensive to the to people who don't like this. Who don't like sick humor? It's not really sick, it's just aggressive. Well if you have a... Just go look at my Twitter feed I think i posted yesterday No, its a Muslim guy and Muslim woman with their genitals exposed and they're jumping around happy on the... Its really quite funny but so my observations are that the French really

14:28 really will just have none of it. They are sick of it, but conversely walking around in Nice and also at Nice Airport now there is tons of military and they've all got their automatic rifles. I'm just like at the Delta check-in, eight guys is really quite astounding but you walk around and talk to people it's as if it never happened you know the 90 people killed with a truck incident It was just carry on and its very odd feeling there was no discussion about it and people said oh yeah that was horrible But in the meantime, they really are...

15:13 Yeah, they're really just not having any of it. Marseille was on fire and there were 2,000 troops protecting the entire Côte d'Azur and every French publication was saying a terrorist attack appears to be imminent. It's imminent is imminent! And then you get these newspaper articles where you see the migrants clamoring up onto French territory... Terrorist police... I just could...it was mind-blowing this This pepper spraying of them. So it's just dichotomy really, just very almost like a whole area of cognitive dissidence and people's brains are scrambled I'm not quite sure but there is no conversation or discussion about it this happened we just put that over to the side you don't really read much about it anymore and yet it was right there other things

16:11 in Europe. Oh, before I forget you know I did this quick turnaround of course when i go down there there was previously really no connectivity which is otherwise it would just stay a little longer and do the show and that has never been possible before but... Well you know I find it kind of ludicrous that you don't get good connectivity in France, which was kind of promoted. Yeah they had the... They went from crap when I first went to France which is 1973 Minitel that's what they had minitel it was so old-fashioned That it was you have to go to the post office to make a phone call And if somebody did have a private line The funny thing about he always had to remember is that when you hung it up

17:02 You had to wait about two minutes for it to actually disconnect. So you didn't want to like talk about the guy. Oh, do we used to have that in the States where if someone hung up and then you didn't and they pick the phone up again? The connection would still be there right I remember those days oh my god now were old but this was wide open so it was like he really didn't hang up I guess send a signal somewhere and I guess somebody got kicked in the butt and say okay unplug it And so then they went from that and all of a sudden, they jumped to light speed and went to Minitel in the probably late 70s early 80s. And that was like everything that was like the most advanced thing in the world. And then since then, they've just drifted and drifted back. They haven't done anything since. So the wired connections like you can get ADSL and it's just incredibly crap. You're getting less than a megabit down and up however

17:56 4G and LTE networks are now really widespread and incredibly fast. I'm talking at minimum 30 megabits per second up and down, And uh...I was getting this from Orange, and I believe T-Mobile bought Orange So maybe they've done some expansion Here's the thing that was really nice You know my T-Mobile subscription is unlimited data, you get 4G LTE in the States and anywhere in the world you'll get 2.5 G which it's alright if you just check an email or something not on the Wi-Fi but as a special promotion T-Mobile had opened up full LTE access worldwide for everyone between 1st of July and end of August It was really fantastic Those guys didn't play that enough What a great promotion

18:49 You know, they don't want to play it up too much. Well that's true. True well they got me with that one I really liked it so the next time you know it could easily do a show from there easily just this is using your t-mobile connection you have a little device or just use your phone? Just use the phone yeah Yeah, huh? Yes really Outrageous it was noticeable. You know but everywhere we went is like I got great connectivity It was but only wireless not wired so I guess they're just skipping all of that well might as well at this point yeah of course I brought my my kx2 my little ham rig and Threw a wire up in the tree

19:31 Really nice talk to Croatia, Sweden Norway. Yeah CQC QC qcq and it's very hard to explain them no I'm not in America. I'm mobile. I'm on location I'm in France wow I can't believe how good you sound cheers a Nazi collaborator Shave his head yeah crazy man crazy crazy anyway coming back was It was really... oh, no. First I should say so we did go to Saint-Tropez and it's really become seedy and yeah this started happening a couple years ago. I know when this started happening let me just guess this started happening when we decided to sanction the Russians

20:16 And all those rich Russian jerk-offs who are supporting Saint Tropez because every time you talk to them, oh God these Russians come and they buy Dom Perignon for the whole bar. No not for the bar! They buy the Magnum and they sit there... usually big fat Russian guys and then they get the sword and they chop the top off and just spray everybody with it like a thousand dollars worth of champagne So yeah, and so most of the big boats aren't there. Apparently they're all in Sardinia that's where they're all going now or St Barts or I don't know where they go on but not really there. It makes a big difference especially at French Riviera, Russians love that place! And they spent big. Everyone is just you know... They are going through the motions but it seems like no one is really happy. Yeah odd

21:12 So on the way, if they lowered their prices it would help. Oh it's unbelievable the prices he was like yeah I'll have one drink thank you that's 20 euros okay thank you 25 bucks for a beer yeah all right that didn't last long with Adam so Again, the French... it's astounding that there is not a lot of reporting. I mean if you just listen to what they're doing and what they're saying and it's publicly agreed to, it's being published everywhere The United States would, if it was really known, say we can't talk to the French. They're racist! They're crazy Islamophobes We can't have that I don't think you saw anywhere that they were spraying migrants on the beach did you? You probably didn't hear about that Now put in the next newsletter for everybody go and get a subscription Yeah Put that photo in the newsletter It's not the greatest photo I've ever seen There is a number of... You should have taken some pictures Uh yeah

22:14 Daily Mail, I think has a lot of really good ones. The pepper spray one is just the funniest So I don't understand it's really and you know we're talking to the French all the time... They can help get Hillary elected that's the problem Yeah We're talking to the French You know please go and bomb Libya But if you look at their what you could easily see as Islamophobia You know, if people were really told about this they would probably be in outrage. I don't know. Everything's an outrage! The way back was somewhat challenging though so first my flight was delayed and because of you know i didn't have a Sunday in there all kinds of stupid complicated rules and of course KLM...I flew

23:03 I was a Southwest to JFK and from JFK, I took KLM to Amsterdam. Amsterdam KLM to Nice on the way back. Wait wait stop stop stop backup you took Southwest to New York? Yeah huh how was that oh i love southwest it's great You know I took Southwest of Detroit and I thought it was a great way to go is like half the price of everything else Oh yeah I love their boarding process too It works for me totally okay Yeah, I like that a lot. So it took that and then but the way on the way back now you have KLM is affiliated with Air France and with Delta so i was very lucky because when I arrived at JFK had like my

23:48 Even though I was flying with KLM, the Delta app was like...I didn't know what's happening at that point. But of course we had this huge meltdown of their data center or whatever Actually this was a...I got some inside info. I think i have the CEO here somewhere Let me see Yes, here we go. The CEO of Delta explaining what happened. I'm Ed Bastian and I am speaking to you today from our operations and customer center where we've got Delta teams working around the clock to restore our system capabilities as i'm sure you can appreciate it's a all hands on deck effort We lost power at this morning which caused us to implement Yeah, we lost power! We lost power now...I know from people inside they have duplicate operation centers

24:35 But apparently that, you know they had some single point of failure where losing power and they couldn't bring anything back up online. It really messed up a lot I mean this was their entire operation. That's right! I forgot it didn't realize that you were running off in that system when you're taking this trip Yeah and so all information was incorrect now that plane was fine left on time but then coming back Was in the Delta plane or KLM? Going over with KLM but coming back at to check-in with Delta and which is then staffed by French ground personnel. And I'd seen what I thought maybe possibly, because they said well our systems are back up there where I could get an upgrade because I have enough miles and wanted to get a business seat upgrade so hey how you doing? Yeah good I would love to see if there's upgrades she doesn't even look no it's not available well could you like take a look now its not available

25:27 Would you mind just taking a look? No, could you put me on the list? Yeah. Could you put me on the list? Yeah Okay didn't do anything Right. Well yeah I put you on the list right in the air Unbelievable now that the good thing...I have to say regarding Delta even though that plane left two hours late at the end is personally had dynamite snacks Never witnessed yes, I just pathetic. I would be static when this is the best you can say about an airline Yeah, well there's one of them right snack now There's one other thing they did have Wi-Fi the entire way across the Atlantic oh Yes, I know I contacted you while you're in the air yeah now not that I could record clips or anything But I could definitely work so then I went to JFK and I knew that I would have a couple hour layover

26:13 to get JetBlue back, which is really the only direct flight available. And that was delayed by two hours! So I get in...I was at home last night 3 a.m And then from three to four I did some clips. So you got nothing? No, no! I got tons of stuff what are you talking about?! That's typical then tell me get extra clips... Well I want to make a comment about my flight again. I want to just say this because maybe i've said it before but What is with people that insist on running? They've got a roller bag which barely fits down the aisle, so they decide to drag it down there bumping bump and bump and stopping bump and stop and bump and stop. It's unbelievable! And then the second thing is these guys are these huge...and women with this huge backpacks

27:04 where Roller cart down that doesn't fit down the aisle and I don't know what to keep doing this for yeah It's just annoying these people and the backpack thing. I've seen in a grocery store. I'm in the grocery store I'm over at Monterey foods buying vegetables into some idiot with his huge Backpack on like he's gonna be you know climbing You know ever until him in Jaro right after go shopping, and and bang bang is banging into things left and right

27:46 It's unbelievable. Here's something funny that happened. So I'm really tired now and also JFK was warm at the JetBlue terminal, it was just warm the air conditioning wasn't... I've been to that terminal when its warm! Oh my god! It just gets boiling hot in there! Sticky and nasty and its a pretty terminal otherwise you know? Its kind of surrounds the old TWA terminal so theres some nostalgia there So I'm really tired. Get on the plane and I had the, you know like up in the front jet blue so you pay like 15 bucks extra and get even more space!

28:30 And in comes a family and it's a mom with four kids. This is how tired I was, a mom with four kids and she's wearing a niqab so you can see her face but everything else is draped and she's got her kids and the elder son...I guess he's between me and the woman who's on the window seat of my aisle, in my row And I'm looking at him like, he really looks like the clock boy. He really looks like the clock boy. So I said hey you live in Austin? You know trying to figure out if maybe he lived in Garland Texas or something and he's got kind of like... The kid is a 10th grader I guess. Just was very annoyed by my question

29:17 I was like, sorry man. Maybe he thought it was like oh how could you live in Austin? That's the only thing that I could imagine but that may be what he thought but here is the dumb thing so i'm tired and we're sitting on a tarmac waiting and again I don't know I was just tired So I start kind of humming and then you know how you sing songs kind of subconsciously No You never do that? You never sing in tunes or anything when you're... Not in public. Well, I was tired and I'm in my seat and going, My Cherie Laurent Oh God! I don't know if it's... I was sitting next to you like Hey buddy! I hope he didn't hear but I caught myself like what am I doing

30:04 It's the ear bug of my sharia laws. You can't get it out of your head once you've got it You were singing my sharia law yes, but because we sing this stuff all the time Just kind of just cuz if our jingles play Oh wait that's the wrong one I'm sorry So here I am on the plane going Under my sheri-a law, you westerners will crap your pants.

30:56 Man now because of the other by the way that could have been the clock boy that guy's back in the yeah I know and just own reason and Now as I was listening. I did a lot of clips from RT Yeah, but in clip this one But they did a long report on this guy and they played it out According to Hoyle, they didn't talk about the reality of it. They're all Americans are a bunch of bigots because they don't like this kid Yeah I couldn't believe it! Well there goes RT's credibility Meanwhile they're suing the state and school district with 15 million dollars He is under duress because he can't create anymore

31:35 Oh yeah, he's a mess. He has post-traumatic stress syndrome? Sure wasn't that kid? It sure wasn't him or yours? Well this it kind of looked like it that's what I'm saying Yeah no that's why I said you sure wasn't him No! I'm not sure he wasn't going to talk to me and after I was singing my sharia law there was not a lot of communication between me and my seatmate My Sharia Law It's so stupid. I did not, did not mean to do that. Subconscious you've been brainwashed now because uh i had connectivity i was able to keep up the speed with some things and just this controversy over what Trump said

32:17 about the Second Amendment people. This is a classic case, do you remember the dress? It's silver and white no it's blue and black it's so yeah yeah it is exactly the same thing gold and white by the way which is golden well there you go what color was it So you hear something and you view that or hear that through the filters they yeah, I guess we have Right. We've seen this we've discussed it before We discussed it with various obots and how they look at the same exact thing completely differently And there's just a what are you gonna do? so ever Trump says is racist crazy to Don Lemon

33:01 had this panel and one guy I guess who was supporting Cruz, I think now he's a Trump surrogate. Yeah, so really there's only two sides of it. One is uh which I think is a stretch as well you know but oh he was trying to unify and you got second amendment people you gotta go out there and vote and unify and try and fight the gun grabber Hillary Clinton what most people in the media heard was Go kill her if I lose that And-and the face bag is just...I mean do you remember Scott Mednick? I think it makes more sense before he loses, but that's another story. No but you know the way he said it and I'm just... Scott Mednick? No no sorry you probably wouldn't know anyway people who who are friends and there was this even this uh this story going around from The Dallas Observer

33:53 uh which said well you know yeah sure we're gonna get our Lee Harvey Oswald with this talk and they are going in to explain how somehow the the political climate created Lee Harvey Oswald and everyone's oh yeah oh yeah. If you want to take a little look at something I didn't get a clip i would maybe was gonna put on the next show, maybe? I'm gonna play this this clip of Don Lemon with his guests okay just see what But what? Keith Olbermann. Yeah, I got that too! You have that clip?! Yeah man, i'm setting up a package baby Okay hit it. Okay first Don Lemon Hillary wants to abolish essentially abolish the second amendment by the way and if she gets to pick her judges nothing you can do folks

34:40 Although the second amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know but... Okay now when i hear it again he does mention the judges and so of course that's really what any election is about in the United States is Supreme Court nominations So, Lemon has a...I guess the guy's running for Senate somewhere. And so, Tubin is on and everybody is on to beat this guy up but just listen to their two sides of everyone interprets things differently. I'm not going to condemn anyone for their true belief of how they receive information

35:16 lemon man and it was just a great exchange. Okay, explain to us people who don't understand that you want to laugh at what he meant by that Don the man I think we all know is running for president of the United States He probably has some data that one issue voters vote on the second amendment issue It's clear he's trying to motivate people to go out and vote based on the potential for open supreme court seat How that's clear to you? That was some kind of call to an open revolution and to start firing your weapons at public officials is utter absurdity. No one said that, Dan. I wasn't going to laugh. No one said that. So if he wanted people to go out and vote why not just say Go out and vote the Supreme Court depends on it? The Second Amendment depends on it Why give something...why say something like that If thats no what he meant as someone who's running for leader of the free world

36:10 world shouldn't he be as I love that by the way that's always my favorite he's running for leader of the free world no now he's running for president and not quite the leader of the free world should we be as clear in his words you want as possible go ahead done do you want me to answer that question listen we can disagree about how imprudently worded that but this suggests that he was calling two violence means to me that you came into to this with the idea that Donald Trump was calling to violence, let me make the case afterwards. I think he's correct in this because that's how some people come into it that way when i heard it i don't know what your feeling was i kind of like whatever i didn't register one way or the other did you? When i first heard it it was just like you know he's different than all these other politicians especially Hillary in so far as that he's just conversational

37:01 So he's up there just blab, blab, blab. Yacking and yacking that way can go an hour because he is just chatting. Blabbin' I mean it's what we do. We were chatting, not rehearsed Except we actually finish sentences He is very poor at finishing sentences No, he is getting actually worse at Or maybe on purpose? I don't know You see this with no so much Rand Paul but Ron Paul Ron Paul used to if you listen him talk He never finished a sentence and he just assumed that you'd finish it. Because there's all code, it's like you know what Ron Paul is about? You listen to him, you go okay I get it, I know what he's saying If you don't know what Ron Paul is about and you've never heard of him before And you listened to him talk, you think he was nuts! Well there ya have it

37:46 That's exactly it. Trump is talking in code. And of course that is then translated by some into dog whistle, call to arms and go kill somebody. I certainly did not think... You know this is to unify. I didn't think that... When when i heard it, just was to me it was a just a Trump toss away. Yeah! I didn't hear anything either so he can move on yeah I certainly didn't hear one side or the other now continue because this just gets hilarious Don Lemon is about the bust of gut The case afterwards you didn't come into this with a clear and open mind listen I was I endorsed Cruz

38:22 in the primary campaign. I'm not a Trump surrogate, I'm supporting him now... What you're saying right now makes no sense! I'm sitting at home and watching Donald Trump. I have two ears and two eyes and can see the reactions of people behind me. And we are not stupid every single person on this panel who are very smart people David Gergen was respected for 12 years David Gergen who's respected by people on both sides, by Republicans and Democrats who've worked for Republicans and Democrats. Who has worked for a president whose had an assassination attempt. Whose lived in presidents whose been assassinated. Knew exactly what Donald Trump is saying and we're supposed to be stupid enough not understand that? And should believe the spin coming from the surrogates or from people like you? You should be ashamed of yourself!

39:10 Frankly, I'm ashamed that you're talking to me as if i'm a child when 12 years of my life... No you are treating me like a child because your telling what im supposed to hear. You are sitting here on television lying to the American people You're lying to the American people. No crap about this, Don! You're a TV guy I was the secret service agent now cut off my mic do what you want. I'm not going to cut off your mic i'm gonna tell you that you're sitting here and you're lying to the american people. You know that you are lying to the American People. It's one of those things where everybody else is crazy but the person... Yeah he says it's one of those things where everybody else is crazy

39:49 Deep, but the first- No, Lemon every time I've watched him recently he's totally unhinged. Oh yeah! I think he has something going on personally in his personal life. Oh no doubt, no doubt It can't be... He's not normal. Well it gets... We're almost done with it and it gets so much better. Who is wrong? But Dan you are running for office in Florida You're running for Congress. So do you support this kind of language, this kind of rhetoric coming from Donald Trump as someone who's running for elected office? And here is another CNN trick... Do you support that? Do you support that? Do you support that? Don what kind of language trying to motivate second amendment voters to go out to the polls? That was an answer to the question! Support or no?

40:30 for Donald Trump. Do you support what he said today? Don, people who believe the second amendment should absolutely vote against the gun grabber Hillary Clinton 100%. Uh oh dog whistle! And whatever you need to say within the realm of reason to motivate people to get out and vote yes you should do that because you will lose your second amendment rights. First of all that's a talking point to call someone a gun grabber no one is trying to take your guns that is a talking point. point you never do like captain talking points an overnight legend captain talking points insult what's my talking point tell me what my talking point is Dan you came into this and you said listen this is pretty clear Donald Trump was implying some kind of a violent act

41:12 against Mrs. Clinton, which I'm telling you from 12 years of experience doing that because you came into this interview with me to question Fond. I'm a political anonymous candidate. So this just went on and it was just hilarious. And you said... I'm surprised they didn't cut the mic on the guy Well, that's because he said you go ahead cut my mic in that so of course Don couldn't do it then which is they do that a lot certainly Don Lemon and Then you sent me a video. Oh we lost him. Lost connection. Too bad

41:52 And never underestimate the long-term memory of the United States public. In 2008, Keith Olbermann then on MSNBC and of course this was the Clinton Obama race...and this is a 10 minute rant which is in The Show Notes it's great to watch. You gotta listen to the whole thing its quite good he goes off... Here's the opening and he explains exactly what she said and it is exactly the same anger and outrage as we're hearing now about Donald Trump. I don't, because again, I've been around long enough. You know that my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California you know I just do not understand it and there is lots of speculation about why it is. The comments were recorded and we showed them to your earlier and they are online as we speak she actually said those words

42:57 Those words, Senator—you actually invoked the nightmare of political assassination. You actually invoked the specter of an inspirational leader at the seeming moment of triumph for himself and a battered nation yearning to breathe free silence forever? You actually used the word assassination in the middle of a campaign with a loud undertone of racial hatred and gender hatred and political hatred, you actually use the word assassination in a time when there is fear—unspoken but vivid and terrible—that our again troubled land and fractured political landscape might target a black man running for president.

43:34 or a white man, or a white woman. You actually use those words in this America Senator while running against an African American man who against the death threat started the moment he declared his campaign you actually use those words in this America senator while running to break your greatest glass ceiling and claiming there are people who would do anything just stop you! Senator, never mind the implications of using the word assassination in any context relative to Senator Obama. What about you? You cannot say this! So I am having a look- Before you go on, I want to point out something because unfortunately let it go too long. I'd like them stopped it earlier because there was that phraseology and way he put things and a cadence

44:19 That is exactly Rachel Maddow. And it is that he was her mentor, but I heard and I go oh geez! It's exactly the same...and I think it had to do with those words that she does this when she calls people. She uses these are... In this America? Yeah in this yeah very uh but anyway yeah he goes on for another 10 minutes on and on and on, because time filler. And as I watched this, I thought to myself you know why hasn't if MSNBC wanted to save the network which is just playing the Olympic stuff currently. They would bring this guy back for at least through the election, he packed him in! He was great yeah I think he's going on like Chelsea Handler and doing his Trump is an idiot rant. He's doing that kind of stuff so it's too bad for us because I like it when he does crazy stuff its fun. He's a fun guy to listen to

45:20 Now, I don't know. You know he can keep...I think it does get paid a lot so well just won't work cheap. So i have learned the um just you know recently of course with the professor and everything that you I can no longer comment or post anything. I compose stuff but I can no longer participate in face bag conversations however I sent this video to a buddy of mine Chris Marriott who used to be a creative director at my company, Think New Ideas. And he is an all-in Trump guy so it's really funny because he's one of these guys who just smiles and laughs you know? There are people like oh! You shithead! You're horrible! He'll just keep laughing and posting funny stuff...He has absolutely no filter at all I just post stuff out there that I have no idea how he keeps his job. He's in email marketing or something if people see his face bag they will freak out So he posts this

46:10 And the response was very interesting. Every single time someone commented, it was like Hillary's words were poorly chosen. But Donald Trump! So the... It is impossible for people on either side to actually... This is why civil war is imminent there's no doubt about it Now there was something else that popped up with Don Lemon and it's another package And it's something that falls under what is known as the Goldwater rule Have you heard of the Goldwater rule? No I've only read about it because i wasn't actively involved and probably a bit too young. Barry Goldwater, very similarly was people were saying he's crazy he's insane he's a psychopath and there was one or two psychologists who said yeah yeah looks like it looks like he's insane and he sued the crap out of them after the election and won

47:04 And this is known in psychiatrist circles as the Goldwater Rule and you never ever do that. You never say, hey yeah that guy running for office he's insane if you're a psychologist So that's interesting. I think if you look it up, the Goldwater rule is a pretty well-known thing according to the Googles so Don Lemon in all his wisdom and i just love Don, I really do because he's so insane that it's just fabulous just fabulous to have all this stuff that he does He brings on his buddy of course Dr Drew, Dr Drew Pinsky and now Drew...Dr Drew

47:42 I guess aware of the Goldwater rule and Don is going to try not once, not twice but three times to analyze Donald Trump and get Dr. Drew to admit it much too Don's chagrin here are the answers let's start first with Insane. Insane would be the first go, the first run around It has a lot of people asking what is going on with him You know Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at the DNC last week in support of Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton even before the events of the last few days Listen to this The bottom line is Trump is a risky, reckless and radical choice. And we can't afford to make that choice! So he's implying that Trump is not sane? Do you agree with that? Listen we have to look at what is insanity He could be reckless and risky and not being insane right there are two definitions of insanity One is legal definition and the legal definition for insanity Is somebody who was so out of it they don't know the difference between right or wrong

48:43 I always thought the definition of, not the legal but maybe the medical definition was trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. No that's the definition people throw out there. Exactly! I wanted to make that point because it does not jive with what the doctor says. That is a very high standard for insanity and very few people meet that standard you're really not functioning when you're legally insane then there's clinically insane, medically. What does that mean? Usually when we talk about insanity we mean psychotic hearing voices having hallucinations again have a thought disorder that disconnects you from reality so I'm sorry Don not insane okay no apologies necessary and it was Bloomberg who made the assertion No pussy! Oh well it was Bloomberg who said it I didn't say it so okay well thats alright um let me try

49:29 How about narcissism? Maybe he's a narcissist. If he is, we've spoken about this before I believe that you think he has narcissist tendencies Is that always a bad thing in a leader? No it isn't always a bad thing People want to label him as a narcissistic personality disorder and that is pretty tough thing to do at a distance but let me just talk to you Narcissism generally can be a good thing if your an fighter pilot We want you to be narcissistic We want you not have fear of extreme circumstances and so most political leaders have some degree of narcissism that's what motivates them to go into this these areas i mean we've done research on this and it bears that out the question though is narcissism has a liability and that's malignant narcissism where you lose empathy feelings don't matter only your

50:15 sort of point of view as well that matters, you know at all times. And in that situation usually you see people who really can't function interpersonally so you look at their children their marriages and You just don't see the evidence of malignant narcissism in his kids certainly now I'd love to hear from his ex-wives maybe they know something we haven't heard yet but you just cant conclude because His relationships are actually maintained and seem to be quite healthy No, Dr. Drew this is not the message I want to- wait wait! How about... He's psychotic! Yeah yeah psychotic! And Oliver John Oliver agrees! I wan't you listen to what John Oliver said Honestly the main takeaway from these two weeks is that incredibly we may be on the brink of electing such a damaged sociopathic narcissist that he simple presidential duty of comforting the families are fallen soldiers may actually be beyond his capabilities

51:11 and I genuinely did not think that was a part of the job that someone could be bad at. People throw around a lot of terms about Donald Trump, is that unfair to call someone who's a nominee for the Republican Party sociopath? Yes it is because sociopaths are usually tied up with illegal really seriously problems with crunk behavior but you know, you can be manipulative. You could be narcissistic and you can still do okay in life but again your relationships usually have extreme pathologies it's very difficult to raise healthy kids very difficult to have sustained marriages if you're deep into narcissism though you can have narcissistic features and there is no doubt that the majority of politicians

51:50 have exactly that. The question though is are some of the reckless qualities that everyone is getting so disturbed about on the campaign going to be translated into office should he get elected? And that's a pretty hard thing to predict I don't know if this is just somebody playing politics or is it somebody who really can contain their impulses what do you think although people want us call it narcissism, people who are like hypomatic and bipolar really have much more difficulty who may be hard what i thought what i thought that sounds good running at the mouth and you've got a wonder more about that than narcissism he said by porous and what else i don't like all right well maybe i'm not saying he is hypomanic but i'll never know label him with all these personality qualities but you know why appear here people are impulsive with their speech i was worried about hypo mania and bipolar types of conditions in his as he says it boundless energy

52:42 Again, a little hypomania can be great. There are a lot of hypomanic businessmen that get a ton done but in terms of containing your speech and being able to thoughtful and take a beat before you say something for those people it can very very difficult. And then we wrap it up here with Dr. Drew saying, well it's actually us! He means of course the Trump supporters but if you listen carefully to what he says you could also just say its Don Lemon. What is more fascinating to me Don is not him but his supporters that seem to not be concerned about any of this

53:23 Fascinates as always what is up with us? We're not concerned who say it doesn't matter if he's telling the truth or not But again, it's I'm trying to figure out. What is it with us so we need to examine ourselves Oh Donald Trump needs to listen why we watch reality television That's all that's all about us why do we you know, why did we do this let's examine that yeah You know, I was watching these networks and CNN seemed to be a Everybody was talking about all kinds of things, but CNN seemed to have not cover wall-to-wall coverage of Trump. Oh yeah! Michelle would say hey let's watch some TV like nine o'clock at night whatever I said okay let's play the game what game? Said you know you turn it on and if within 30 seconds they haven't said Trump then switch to the next channel. I mean just turn it on...Trump Trump Trump

54:15 So I found the one kind of interesting thing worth deconstructing was a couple of memes that cropped up about because the main thing i was watching, don't like watching. I love watching Don Lemon's my beat! It's yeah um it's uh this tax thing because Hillary came out there so there's a couple reports and I want to play these two clips and one of them is the Clinton on donate you know they Clinton released her their taxes, 10 million bucks. And there's now a lot of speculation about what happens next but I got to kick out of this is Clinton on donating to herself because they had a charitable donation to the Clinton Foundation and that was rather funny. Tonight Hillary Clinton hoping the release of her 2015 tax returns will pressure Donald Trump to do the same because he refuses to do what every other presidential candidate

55:07 I'd like to say that it is not atypical at all for wealthy individuals to have a foundation, they put money into the foundation. It's a tax way to avoid paying taxes and do something with it now of course the Clinton Foundation has its issues but I'd see no problem in her giving her money to the Clinton Foundation. I just don't see a problem with that that's very normal

55:45 Yes, if it's a corrupt organization. But if you find... Yes of course! Of course that's the difference So Mike Pence came out and gave his tax thing and now all these especially CNN they were all oh my god now what he's breaking ranks he's doing this No I was listening to this nonsense because Trump is claiming not to release his taxes because he's under audit. Pence isn't under audit, he has to release his taxes under the-under not breaking ranks! So that never made sense me but the one that gets me and the meme that really bothers me the most and I just sick of it is the one this in this clip which is Trump tax meme

56:26 Okay. ...kind of campaigns these candidates want to run? Well, it's bizarre world I think that may be the phrase of the interview and it's impossible to know Look, Donald Trump isn't stupid. If he's not releasing his tax returns it is because the heat he is going to take for not releasing them will be easier to absorb than the heat that he would take from releasing them and showing that he is paying a 0% effective tax rate It is a rational calculation but just doesn't seem like in conventional terms I have a slightly different view. I don't know, I don't believe that there's going to be anything in there that surprises many people other than the fact he may not be worth what he thinks and i think that would be more damaging to his brand. No, I know what is going on we talked about this. Wait a minute! What is the meme im looking at here? That hes lying abou how much money he has Ok now Im gonna ask the question

57:23 On what planet could you look at someone's tax return and tell how much money they have? Not on this one. You can't, in fact his FEC filing says more about that which he has done Yes he has already filed that But do you remember when this started like oh I'm under audit and I said oh no He is playing the long game And i am going to tell exactly how it will play out He's going to release his taxes. He is going to, and it doesn't matter what's in there because the deal is going to be alright Hillary I'll release my taxes you release A.) The transcripts which we're pretty sure don't exist because there were no speeches and 2.) You have to release your medical report

58:06 And this is where the real problems are going to crop up. You brought this up before and I am in total agreement that he's gonna slip it in at the end as a point, at one of the debates if the debate ever happens. But tax returns... none of it is compulsory but knowing the candidates health That is what's going to happen and that is going to be a very, very big issue. Now while we were on break everyone heard about you know saw the diazepam pen and Hillary not being able to climb the stairs so Hannity of all people had two doctors on And I just want to play this clip of them because he brings up everything The only thing I took out is that You know that So-called seizure clip cuz they had a long analysis which was really like who the hell knows? Which I agree. I don't think that was it

58:56 I didn't think so. But listen to, because he brings up the pan in all of this and these doctors are quite clear. What about Hillary? 2009 a severe fall she breaks an elbow 2011 she boards a plane falls 2012 she has a sever concussion which Bill Clinton says it took her six months to recover from then she ends up with a blood clot on the brain She's on lifetime blood thinners just the point alone if she is prone to falling And you see from our picture up there that it looks like she can barely get upstairs without two people carrying her. Guess what if she falls and hits her head She'll get a blood clot in her brain. It looks to me, I'm also concerned about this concussion she had in 2012 it could be post-concussion syndrome you know your balance is off you're dizzy all the time your memory is off You're not thinking clearly maybe that's what she meant this week when she talked about that glitch she had with Chris Wallace Maybe she just can't think When she says she short circuited Right Also its not just that she doesn't give a lot of press conferences she doesn't want to see him put herself in high pressure situations

59:56 I want to know what her neurologist says. I've reached out to her neurologist at Columbia after she had that fall, no comment. I want to know what her neurological records show." What about this photo that the Gateway Pundit had up today? Jim Hoff did an article and you know Hillary's handle or I guess call was a diazepam pen. What would that be for? So one of the things that happens after having concussion usually within a year or so all their symptoms should resolve Occasionally you have a latent or delayed kind of post concussion syndromes and seizure issues for football players. Exactly what it is, and that can come years down the road she may have some of these symptoms... You think that's what you're seeing? Well I certainly think that a traumatic brain injury with symptoms down the

1:00:37 is very, very likely here. Especially since she had a blood clot on her brain and as David was mentioning that can actually lead to a seizure problem Someone's carrying a pen that you would use in the case of a seizure A Valium pen? That makes me wonder about that We need to see her records to see Okay, here's what concerns me about this and a number of these things. It is very clear in the WikiLeaks that she was in this plane crash! I know In December of 2012 when she supposedly fell into office or whatever it was And the plane crash indicated and all these memos which are written back and forth amongst a bunch of Democrats about you know warning the president she may die. She may have to, she may die he has to get ready to announce her death because she was bleeding to death and she was hauled out unconscious from this wreck

1:01:27 Why isn't this brought up anywhere? Except the Israelis have brought it up in their publications. It shows up in a couple of sketchy Russian publications, but its in the WikiLeaks and the whole... The entire discussion about this is in there and nobody wants to touch it! And nobody wants to lose their job or their life. Its in WikiLeaks! Yeah Yeah, you know why doesn't people press in general doesn't even want to go into WikiLeaks and look up anything They won't they don't does Chelsea Manning stuff is off-limits It's especially off limits if you work for the government And it makes me wonder how many people into being the media are in this CIA and actually are not allowed to look at that Stuff. Oh well If we remember the Church Commission lots of people are in the CIA This is known now on a Dutch news program speaking Wikileaks

1:02:22 By the way, I'll mention this. Our economic hit man when he was dating the... State's Sheila in the department In the department of the little agency out of the state She was she could not look at half the stuff that or even she got a lot of stuff I cannot look at that Yeah, not allowed to now allowed to look it would the public and look at it But apparently this is this tells you something about what's wrong with the government? The public can look at the public. You me anyone else can go look at this stuff and read it and And yet someone in an intelligence gathering agency that's supposed to know everything, they can't look at it. How does this make any sense to you? It doesn't

1:03:09 Julian Assange, who has been out and predicting oh we got more. We got stuff that's gonna put Hillary in jail it's a October surprise and he's playing the game there's no doubt about it he is playing the game you know like well you don't know our informants if we don't talk about informants we don't say if they're Russian or if they aren't if they weren't Russian but he goes on... No he clearly said that this was not a Russian source from the DNC break that he printed They made that clear was not Russians. Yes, but he was Cagey about his source it kept saying we don't talk about our source except on the Dutch news program new sport Yes that was played over here by the way I'm sure it was but let's make sure everyone hears it Donald Trump has had a disastrous and is beautiful to listen to The presumption and the

1:03:58 The impression that the foreign to the European media has about Donald Trump Which is you know, the meme that because of the way that certainly the Dutch press I read articles all the time and you know It's just they just rewrite it from The New York Times. Just different words They wait for The New York Times to come out now Okay, I'll just copy this translate into Dutch And of course the memes are Donald Trump is insane You know, he's losing. He's in trouble the campaign is trying to reboot it all these words and a son just drops a gem Donald Trump has had a disastrous few weeks if you look at the polls He needs a miracle In the American political lexicon there such as thing as the October surprise The stuff that you're sitting on Is an October surprise in there?

1:04:43 Do you even know what you're sitting on? When Kenexnerva sits on material, whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. There's a 27 year old that works for the DNC who was shot in the back murdered just two weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington so... That one that was just a robbery I believe wasn't it yeah no there's no finding That's the sort of... What are you suggesting? I'm suggesting that our sources take risks and they become concerned to see things occurring like that. But was he one of your sources, then? We don't comment on who our sources are. Why make the suggestion about a young guy being shot in the streets of Washington?

1:05:37 Because we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States and that our sources face serious risks. That's why they come to us, so we can protect their anonymity. But it is quite something to suggest a murder. That is basically what you're doing? Murder! Well, others have suggested that. We are investigating to understand what happened in that situation with Seth Rich. I think it is a concerning situation and there's not a conclusion yet. We wouldn't be willing to state a conclusion but we are concerned about it

1:06:21 And more importantly, a variety of Wikileaks sources are concerned when that kind of thing happens. I mean whatever game Assange is playing he was being very clear about his implication there Yes, and he also offered a reward for the discovery of who killed this guy. And meanwhile I want to play just the counter thing... This is the Pelosi says Pelosi blames and play this clip just so we know what once you know The reality of WikiLeaks is one thing but here But the meme that has to continue as this one House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi addressed the issue in Washington today

1:07:01 broke in. Who did they give the information to? I don't know who dumped it, i don't know but i do know that this is a Watergate like electronic break-in Russians Russians Russians! I mean they won't get off this no no that's the you can't they can't turn around government and you i can get clip after clip of the government the law enforcement at uh saying they don't know who did this. And there's no evidence of this thing? Well, of course we have most of the intelligence officials who are anti-Trump are all former intelligence officials you know there's 50 of them who wrote this open letter and it's pretty crazy

1:07:44 And of course we have a new document from Guccifer. Before we go off, I still have some more Assange. Yeah good. Assange was on Bill Maher. Ah! Good i didn't see it Now the funny thing is about this is Maher... It's very apparent when you listen to him and that makes you wonder after what I said about agencies people that work in various agencies can't look at stuff and I betcha that-I'm betting that I'll contact somebody who knows whether or not it might be legal for an intelligence officer to actually look at WikiLeaks. But it's pretty apparent whether it's, well for whatever reason Mar has never looked at the Wikileaks stuff about the DNC you can tell by his questions this is Assange on Mar released thousands and thousands of emails from the Democratic

1:08:35 National Committee right before the Democratic Convention and you of course in the past have released lots of documents from governments but people questioned whether this... And we should point out that in the past, The Big WikiLeaks documents were done in complete collusion with mainstream media and the United States government. When we were looking through all this... A long time ago, that's true! But the releases of stuff was never exclusively the way Mari indicates exclusively of government leaks. There's corporate leaks, they're supposed to have a bunch of banking stuff, they go after certain individuals... it's bullcrap! But people questioned whether this was fair game because the Democratic National Committee is not a government it's private and some of the donors had their social security numbers or credit card numbers released

1:09:31 That's not true either. I don't like the government who actually put, you know hundreds of thousands of people's information at risk when they let it all get... Hacked yeah, no it's not true. It's nothing this is fair game well. It was definitely good fun Well we did the same thing to send to Norm Coleman's campaign Republican senator back in 2009 The Turkish political party AKP just the other week a neo-nazi party Here in the UK a few years ago. I remember the name of an irritating party

1:10:08 British National Party. So, no I think it's...I'm super happy with how that's gone we've had four people in the DNC resign Debbie Wasserman Schultz the head the chief financial officer the communications director Lewis Miranda etc and that shows a kind of instant accountability perhaps not proper political accountability for a really quite concerted effort through the chain of command at the DNC to make sure that Bernie Sanders didn't win, including by pumping out black PR. Well I don't know if that's really true? I mean i read those emails there was no smoking gun...I do!

1:10:56 I know that it's true. Communications director Lewis Miranda, who has resigned just three days ago instructed his staff an instruction not a discussion an instruction to pump out quote in an unattributable manner statements and an article saying that Bernie Sanders supporters were engaged in acts of violence so this is the DNC demonizing in a covert manner through its chain of command to the press and it's favorite press contacts, uh...a Democrat. Now Morris says there is no smoking guns, but there are tons of smoking guns! He didn't read any of this at all. No why do that when you can read the New York Times and be informed?

1:11:45 So the other thing is, and this is a second clip which only kind of just clarifies the thing about Maher's accusation that he let credit card numbers out. And I've never seen that in WikiLeaks it's very hard to extract even email addresses from there. Well maybe he's confused with the Guccifer because Guccifer does have all these spreadsheets... He might be confused but that's not what he said and uh... it's just seemed to be the second part clarifies that in mars really flat-footed about this whole thing i don't believe he's a little ever looked at any of this stuff okay let's let's tackle these criticism are we did not publish uh... for credit card numbers about donors. It's the last four digits just like your 7-11 receipt, it's very important for tracking money laundering and there are serious allegations of money laundering and FEC violations at data release our materials the materials that we release

1:12:36 are pristine. We're really good at this, we have a 10-year perfect record of having never got it wrong in relation to the integrity of what we've released there's no allegation even from Debbie Wasserman Schultz or any of these people that any of the material is not completely valid and true What there is, is a conflation between our publications DNC leaks and an extensive variety of hacks of the DNC. And frankly other organizations over the last two years possibly by state actors that wouldn't be at all surprising but also a number of others. DNI Clapper, the head of all US intelligence agencies James Clapper said

1:13:22 last Friday that the media was hyperventilating, they couldn't make an attribution let alone as motivation and even thought was just about the hacks. It's not about the material we released but We know the source of the material right? Everyone knows the source of what were published The sources is the Democratic Party! The sources is Lewis Miranda, Desmond Schultz etc etc I know Alright, alright. Stop! There'll be none of that." It went on for quite a while but it was just flat-footed marred... Breaking news, breaking news. Michelle just sent me the messages from south of France. Riot on the beach of Corsica after tourist takes photo of woman in burkini and some young men of North African origin harpoon him

1:14:16 Oh, God! Oh, gee. Police are still trying to establish how the incident turned into a riot but local media said a group of older North American men soon arrived some armed with hatchets and harpoons- North African? Yeah yeah You said north american I'm sorry north african i didn't mean to say that uh the unrest lasted for several hours in which three cars were burned four people had to be taken to the hospital holy moly Harpooning?! That's a new one. Yeah, yeah. You'll make them outlaw harpoons I tell you. Outlaw them! The guy takes a picture? Yeah And it gets harpooned?! Yeah There has got to be more to it than that. Well... Why does there have to be more to it? I just think there has to be more to it It sounds too simplistic. I want to get to a break but one last story with an associated clip

1:15:08 So I got in really late and of course, you know we don't have Uber anymore. And Ride Austin which is kind of our app there's no way that on a Saturday night there's no one at the airport to two in the morning so I grabbed a cab and unfortunately the cab was too noisy and the guy was too... Ahab was his name ...was just too soft-spoken had to really lean forward You know, I'm in the car saying how are ya doing? He got into an accident said hey man where are from originally? Damascus Oh good, how you doing Damascus? And we had a nice long chat on the way home. And takeaway is two things, first of all he says I really hope Trump becomes president mind you a Muslim who has family there and then he does try to go back from time to time so how do you go back? So now you gotta go to Beirut and then it's an hour cab ride and you've got some checkpoints but then you can get into Damascus. He's all over CIA Mossad doing this uh...and you know i laid my pipeline theory on him say yeah that's definitely a part of it

1:16:09 Really what's going on is they just want to make it a horrible, horrible mess. And he says... Rubble-ized Yes! Exactly He says Lebanon is next which like oh well hello and I told him about the you know the West Clark 7 He says Oh yeah this makes total sense actually probably should play that West Clark 7 clip again just so we all remember what was said So I came back to see him a few weeks later And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? He said oh it's worse than that! He reached over on his desk and picked up a piece of paper and he said... ...I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense office today. This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years starting with Iraq then Syria Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran

1:17:06 So I said, so I lay the rebelize thing on him. He says yeah he said that's it. Said I believe milk will cost 20 uh the equivalent of $20 in a year from now in Syria and he says if they take out Assad which is somehow that is the mission but of course the US can't do it because or not directly because that would get Russia in a tizzy and he understood all these nuances but he said no the idea is you'll get Lebanon and just make the rebelize the whole place And that goes perfectly, which I'm sure you saw with the clip of Mike Morrell who was on Charlie Rose.

1:17:42 And even Charlie Rose was chuckling at the audacity of Mr. Right-Right, this is Mike Morrell former deputy director of CIA who claims he ran the CIA but he was kind of a second guy. The holding pattern guy? Yes and he has endorsed... Hold on to the steering wheel while I get something out my pocket He has endorsed Hillary Clinton and that is not illogical since if he does not want any any implication in the Benghazi scandal with the guns, which of course Clinton has helped the CIA cover up. And he, I mean that this is said by any American official out in the open and of course he will be, I guess he's going to be an advisor too or if he isn't already advisor to Hillary. And I believe he has some ties to the Clinton Foundation listen to what he said. I'd give them the thing that they need both go after the Assad government but also have the Iranians and Russians pay a little price right? When we were in Iraq

1:18:46 The Iranians were giving weapons to the Shia militia who are killing American soldiers. Right? They were making, the Iranians were making us pay a price We need to make the Iranians pay a price in Syria. We need to make the Russians pay a price. The other thing I would do... Okay but we make them pay the price by killing Killing Russians. Yes, oh yeah killing Iranians yes Kill people kill Russians kill Iranian you don't tell the world about it right You don't stand up at the Pentagon and say we did this right But you make sure they know it in Moscow and here's the other thing I want to do Here's the other thing what are you gonna go after? I wanna go after those things that Assad sees as

1:19:27 as his personal power base, right? I want to scare Assad. So i want to go after his presidential guard. Okay. I wanna bomb his offices in the middle of the night. That happened about two years ago if you remember when his brother-in-law was killed! Murdered! I want to destroy his presidential aircraft on the ground. I'm gonna destroy his presidential helicopters I want to make him think we're coming after him. Right? I'm not advocating assassinating him, no! No! I am NOT advocating that. I'm advocating going after what he thinks is his power base right and what he needs to survive. I want him to think about this is not gonna end well for me right? Right. I wanna put pressure on him, I wanna put pressure on the Iranians, I wanna put pressure on the Russians... ...to come to that diplomatic settlement

1:20:20 Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to rubble ice! I love the last little bit there. I gave you a clip of the day for that clip No thank you that's uh... that's appreciated Wait wait wait wait The funny thing is at the very end It's kind of hard to hear So he talks about killing everybody Killing Russians, killing Iranians Scaring Assad Blowing up his palace Blowing up his offices Blowing up his presidential plane Blowing up the helicopters And then On the Iranians? I want to put pressure on the Russians to come to that diplomatic settlement. And this is all to come to a diplomatic settlement, you see? That's how diplomacy works in the United States! We will bomb the crap out of you- I heard that was very funny, that's why we got clip of the day because it had a stupid ending. Just wanted make sure everyone heard it. Unbelievable! So yeah our original thesis is just rubbleize the whole place

1:21:11 And we just have to get Assad, I'm not talking about assassinating him. Yes you are that's exactly what you want it could be an accidental death and so then as my friend Ahab said do you want trouble? He says when when that becomes an Islamic state he said and i said Daesh she said no no no no no an Islamic state! He says not the islamic state when it is un-islamic state no longer secular. Said that's going to be the end of it all and he's very uh... No, uh yeah Syria. He said that's going to be the end of it all he said then it'll spread to Lebanon and then I that's when I said oh this has been the plan he says uh-huh

1:21:51 So I gave them... Well, it makes some sense because before the new Assad, the old Assad was and they weren't a big oil producer. They still really aren't. They were known as the number one instigators of in fact there are lot of people believe that they're behind the Lockerbie event. Wasn't that the Libyans? What do you mean? Oh, the Syrians. The Syrians were blamed for it because they had reason to blame them but remember that was one of the reasons why we had to go kill Gaddafi because of that I think that's an element but they also let the one guy go and all... Yeah but remember how that whole thing is sketchy! I'm just saying remember how that came up and the guy who was blamed was released and went back You remember all that?!

1:22:37 Yeah, I do remember all that because the whole thing was bogus. The fact was it was always Syria. Syria is behind most of the terrorism and they were orchestrating almost all of it and they were always just given hush money just to stop it. And that's how the Syrian regime continued. They were just paid off not to do this stuff And it was fairly well known in the Middle East, talk to old middle Easterners. They'll talk, yeah Syrians that's what the Syrians did and everyone knew it and it wasn't a big deal and it was just give them some money because they were the poor...they were the lesser brother of the brother with one leg they didn't have the oil, they didn't have the money. So long-term paid off and they kind of drifted away from that model with the new guy, the new Assad

1:23:27 could go back to that model and that's what I think he was referring to. Which is the Syrians become an Islamic state, the terrorism is just going to get completely out of control. Yeah! Well yay us! It's uplifting. Yay us! We had the Olympics this week which have my two clip report on later after a break Yes, I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C... where the c stands for cognitive dissonance...

I'd like to be erased and mend by message by saying that I've been organizing trade shows and exhibitions in Tokyo for the last 25 years and have built my business

1:36:23 And also pay a portion of my tuition for community college. He's donating $33,000 and he is working part-time jobs to pay the rent and tuition. Thank you! Thank you very much Henry. In cash by the way instead of taking out another horrible student loan. Very good No agenda has helped me view the media through a critical eye since my early days of college. I feel terribly guilty for not donating at least $1 per episode since i first started listening in late 2008 so here's another one-third of a knighthood donation because im still an incredibly cheap piece of garbage. Not the way I see it no, not really by the way when John is going to present his breakdown of this scam scholastic

1:37:12 The scam Scholastic is executing upon the public schools. This is your Scholastic report you promised for about six years? Coming, coming soon! I remember working at a distribution center for a major 3PL right across the street from one of the Scholastics big warehouses in Ohio During my nightly commute back then, I remember listening to when John mentioned he was working on a big expose of Scholastic. It's not actually true. I was going to spot charter schools more than anything and I made mention note as he mentioned this just as I drove past the building

1:37:48 Although I'm pretty sure the response will be the general discussion about Common Core overlaps completely with the BS Scholastic has been pulling. Now, I've got to have to go look at this! Always had a beef with them since elementary school when I noticed that vast majority of textbooks in my parents' property taxes went to paying for these shitty picture books." Yeah and it goes on... Let's see what the point is here if he gets to it. Also, I'd love to see Adam make an appearance on Knight Attack. Ah, shouldn't... Yeah go ahead. Of course! Yeah we'll do that and then try to keep it fairly low-key but in the

1:38:26 In that before-after show is a Brian Brushwood and Justin Roberts young tend to express views that are predominantly in line with the skeptical views of no agenda I really think Adam being a guest appearance would be good They have they have one element on that show that I really like and I look forward to doing it They all get drunk on the shows kind of cool Yeah, yeah. You're looking forward to it so you can get drunk? Yeah! On the show would be funny Okay Alright Karma Karma Karma Karma You've got karma Thank you so much Henry Chuck Kendrick in Surrey British Columbia 333 I'm a long time listener and producer on my way to knighthood I can tell you how happy I am that my best friend... And by the way yeah I would like to hear you drunk on that show too It'd be quite funny Doesn't take much its a cheap drunk No its not Im a cheap drunk im a cheap date

1:39:12 Cheap drunk. I can't tell you how happy I've been since my last... Jared Meisner now listens and donates regularly, I have been trying to hit him in the mouth for many years and this election cycle has exposed the media corruption enough for him to be interested in your deconstruction. The quality of analysis specifically since the Brexit vote episode has been outstanding I moved to Vancouver, BC from the States a few years back and would like to set up a meetup for producers in the area. Any advice on how best way to set this up would be appreciated and welcoming any producers to reach out to me on LinkedIn Twitter or Facebag by using my name Chuck Kendrick K-I-N-D-R-I-C-K Thank you both!

I'm just saying Trump will likely be in New York and here was the theory and this comes from some remote viewing people so this is why you gotta take it with a grain of salt but it's out there that there will be an event in New York City could be a catastrophic explosion could be a dirty bomb And this would result in the death of both candidates, at which point Joe Biden will become the logical choice and our next president.

1:51:46 There's quite a lot of serious chatter about this. I don't know how you can okay? Well, you know I just chatter You know how I can do this because out in New York is yes How can you do that? How come we does because we don't have advertisers We don't have the people with other agendas Because I would say that I've never heard this because they listen to all this commercial crap And they won't talk about stuff like this where'd you get there you got this from the interwebs from circles I travel in You got it from some circles. Yes, circles I travel in yes circles of jerks okay speaking well it's good to know we got the heads up on the 24th and we'll have a show uh when's your next show? Uh Thursday And that's what day? I don't know Well let's take a look It'll be for the 18th The 18th so we've got a week to go on this thing and so we'll have a show on the 25th the day after the event Okay good enough time flies

1:52:46 When you're having fun, you should add that to the end. I do have an Olympic report and want to get it out of the way Oh good! Good good First of all i want to condemn NBC Alright And I want you listen this clip carefully This is a clip that says Coxswain... Coxen Coxsen without the K That's name in the clip Coxswein yeah? They bring a woman on and the guy who was in back rowing crew Is The Coxson and spelled CO CK SWA I am he's the guy that steers and yells through the meadows and yells. Yeah, here's an yells. Watch out for the couch. And it is pronounced coxswain. It is not pronounced cock swane no nor is it pronounced Cox? No so they bring their expert on NBC doing there rap can't wait

1:53:43 So this girl, she doesn't know how to pronounce this. She's not reading it she's off the top of her head and so she refers to this particular position of Coxon as Cocks-Swayne. and the job. So big sway in cock? Is that her, is that her? She has something else on the mind but she's also a horrid fast talker so she kind of covers it up a little bit but take it listen you'll see what I'm talking about. Alright let's talk about another team that's dominating in the women's eight rowing teams this is the ultimate dream team they really are 11th they're going for their eleventh consecutive gold is that right? They have won every single

1:54:20 title at the World Championships and the Olympics dating back to 2006. And the really impressive thing about this team is that it has not been the same team, they keep changing members. The cox queen on this team is Kaitlyn Snyder and she's got a great backstory. She actually Mary Whipple who was the Cox 4 Beijing and London. Took some time away after London, and Caitlin stepped in led the team to the world title in 2009 and then Mary came back And so they had to make a decision of who's gonna who is going to take that job? And it ended up they went with Mary and then A couple months later Caitlin's younger brother died

1:54:57 of cancer and she really had to make some decisions. Do I want to keep doing this? What do i do? And so she decided to stick it out and she is now the cocks on the team, led them to the world championship last two I believe and they were going they had the fastest time in the kids the other day Alright, open up. Open wide. Open wide. Cock Swain! The cock swain and the cock? That is unbelievable... And no one corrects her. No one corrects her. Nobody says anything. She's paid real money to do this on a major network

1:55:35 Okay, the other thing I got the only good thing that happened there But I thought was funny besides the guy hitting a couch. It was floating around it was one other good thing I don't have a clip but well I have this clip which is this is the what is this? This is the tenure just says Olympics Olympics you can't miss it yeah, Oh, okay Oh, pipes. Well away from the streets and onto the track where the Rio games can't seem to shake doping scandals team Kenya has now had a coach sent home from Brazil for posing as an athlete during drug testing What? Now this guy's posing as an athlete he's 61 oh that's fantastic so he goes in there just to take the urine test

1:56:21 And you know, and then... Hey! How are you doing? I'm an athlete. So they kicked him out of the country There were a couple things Did you hear about the diving pool this was big news when i was in France Oh it turned green Well the headline was It Turned Green & Smells Of Farts Yeah, yeah. You know there was I was trying to figure out what the chemical reaction was that algae is not really algae. I don't think there was a dude they use chlorine and there's...I don't know if it was allergy because the algae pretty makes it thick kind of a...it doesn't just make a green color could have been an allergy but yes apparently stunk so I was just trying to figure out what would I've heard anything since

1:57:05 But yeah, this thing is a joke. I have a couple of reports They play a lot of the girls you know these they really played up to women's Swimming and women's gymnastics because we're gonna totally we totally kick ass in swimming just winning left and right We have it we have our winning swimmer What's her name Simone? I think black the black swimmer Yeah that she's a short-term did but the real one we have is as Ledecky or whatever her name is she'd swims for like a mile and she just told, she broke the world record. She did...she's the one who is a real Adeke I think. Well the thing about our black swimmer Simone

1:57:45 is, you know in growing up in America and this has been interesting to read this and even the New York Times had a big article about it. You know black people the black people I've hung out with and I went to school with they don't swim! They do not swim they don't like swimming or like the idea but The New York Times interestingly did a huge article about the racism in swimming in America so I got my... There's no racism? Oh No oh Oh, this goes back. This is historically swimming is racist in America but I guess one time there was a famous story black lady put her toe in the water and they drained the pool and just did the guilt and shame. 1840's? What are we talking about here? The guilt and the shaming isn't no matter what all forget about the achievement which I'd love it was fantastic We have an athlete who wasn't favored to win she was like you know expected coming third

1:58:36 She won great. So she's one of those women that gets all hyped up and but then we have to have the whole ball, you know it's a great because the Americans are racist when it comes to swimming pools like so two things I want to discuss one is kind of amazed maybe was just the British Sky News and stuff that I was watching but I guess no one has ever seen cupping marks before Oh, what are these crazy rings? What is it? What is it? Please purple race like yes Well, what's the name of our superstar swimmer that's won 29 awards or something is yeah He's all he's got those things all over. It looks terrible Yeah Mickey used to have that done and it never helped so I would it now It's ridiculous but the story that was a big in the Dutch press was Yuri van Gelder. He is the The gymnast the ring guy

1:59:31 And he got kicked out for drinking alcohol. At least that was the story, and it was great to see the Netherlands... They were so outraged! So first it was... Well here's a series of events because I followed quite closely in Dutch press. So first he was sent home by the Dutch NSONSF which is you know the Olympic Committee, the Dutch chapter I guess He was sent home because he broke whatever rules And it was because he had a drink after school and before training. Then slowly people were outraged, oh what is this? This is our guy! He's our hero! And then it turned out there were pictures...he went to the Holland House which is you know the Dutch always have the Holland House at all these big events certainly the Olympics and we had our king there King Beer, Prince Pils

2:00:22 and the lovely Maxima, our queen. And you know he was drinking with the king so everyone's like this is crazy of course he has a drink with the king! But the backstory is very different. Backstory here we go yeah He was exclusive. He's a cocaine addict and I say an addict because you know he did the whole 12-step program he had to uh you know go through some clinic in Scotland And, you know when you go through the 12-step program... There's a pretty good article written by a friend of mine, Mick Buscombe. He said he went to the same clinic and kind of the agreement that you make when you go through the 12 step program is that you can't have anything. You can't smoke cigarettes, you can't be drinking beer all of that is substitution for your addiction. Addiction is disease!

2:01:16 You know, apparently he was not just at the Holland house. He came back hammered at five in the morning and God knows what else and he missed his training... It's sad but it was so hard for the Dutch to you know pointing fingers oh this is crazy but the real backstory was yeah he really messed up and you know the guy has an addiction then its sad But he did mess up I blame the King Well me too kinda king should have known better said hey man you can't have any beer Get back to work. Yeah, really come by after the show I'm just not watching a lot of the Olympics just doesn't watch quite a bit of it because it's It's like what the way they've done it here is they just have these women and the black girl is a good example but every all of them except for that one super swimmer that just Apparently said she had some new way of cupping the water or something and she just totally kicks everyone's ass hmm

2:02:11 And then we said, well I don't know why everyone's not doing it this way. We're talking about winning this one race by 11 seconds! It's just they... especially the little black girl and the women that were in the gymnast They win, they look up, they win and then go into weeping Into sobbing like little kids that just had their candy taken away And then they put the camera right on him and then they bring them out of the pool. You were very emotional there, and they start crying again and they're crying and crying and crying. It's hilarious! And it just like this heartbreak...it's like let's break some hearts here. Let's get this little girl to cry.

2:02:59 to the cry. It's television! So that's right, zoom in on the tears and they have they don't do all the final ceremonies but they have that one that you talked about the black girl like up at the podium and they're playing the national anthem tears coming down the eye down the cheeks oh yes but she didn't put her hand on it But she didn't put her hand over her heart. What a faux pas! Well, you know that's I talked about this before what is the what he supposed to well? I think you'd put your hand over here because of the flag is up there maybe but I still Don't know that what the process is supposed to be this like the saluting thing. I'm always bitching about

2:03:39 The president saluting everybody left and right like, you know they have to salute back. I don't know what the protocol is? I know you put your hand over your heart when you give the Pledge of Allegiance but do you put your hand over your heart when they sing God Bless America? I've seen that at a stadium! You don't have too...you don't have to Well she-I don't think she has Do you mean the Star Spangled Banner not God Bless America No i said god bless america they'd do it Yeah but thats how- The star spangled banner I think is another option I dont'know are you supposed to put your hand over your heart during the star spangle banner? I never do it I do. Okay, well...I don't! No it's fine Do you know all the words? No say can you see? Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah

2:04:39 Malcolm Gladwell, I think he writes for the New York Times Magazine. Elite of the douchiest order. A New Yorker, I'm sorry. Yeah, douchey and I normally wouldn't have played this clip but there's two reasons why one because he brings up our favorite moral law... He doesn't say moral self-licensing but he brings up moral licensing which is great because Well, in the clip you'll hear that actually yes it is moral licensing but not the way that he deconstructs it. And then I have the hypocrisy of another news article which is just completely undiscussed which I think we can bring up. So this is about Hillary and about how unfairly she's treated because she's a woman

2:05:26 So let's listen to this. Maybe Donald Trump is what you get when you've had two terms of Obama, in other words that people having said okay we have been this country that's open to opening the White House to a very different kind of president maybe we can go back to our baser I'm I'm telegraphing my feelings about the presidency. At least he's honest about his bias Maybe you could return to your kind of baser instincts once you've been so a generous and open for eight years. And what do you think it says for Hillary? Julia Gillard, who was the first female Prime Minister of Australia and it's all about what happens after she takes office She is subjected to the most extraordinary devastating unbelievable level of misogynistic vitriol That is a classic example of moral licensing Having opened the door to the first female prime minister in history of Australia

2:06:25 Australians feel free to say the most unspeakable things about her. I mean, and I'm not going to go into them here but the stuff that was said about her...I mean it's astonishing to think that people in a modern democracy would say those kinds of things then if Hillary Clinton wins What's her name? The redhead down in Australia when she was... Yeah, Gillard. Exactly. Gillard! Gillard yeah. Gillard was a... Okay I don't think she is a good example because she could take it and dish it out more than the men. And notice by the way he said well I'm not going to go into all of the examples. I do not like that. Give me some examples of this horrible misogyny If Hillary Clinton wins

2:07:07 What happens? Does the fact of her victory and the achievement of our first ever female president open the door to people venting a level misogynistic vitriol that would have been unthinkable before her. I think i would say this even if i was not a Hillary Clinton supporter the level of scrutiny she is given for real or imagined misdeeds it's far greater than an equivalent male would be given, I don't think that's an outrage. Not true no of course it's not true statement people pick over things she does in a quite an extraordinary way. I would imagine if she were to get elected that undue scrutiny would ramp up, why? Because that's what happens to every woman who enters in a previous male world." Okay so oh boy all the misogyny okay Malcolm Gladwell journalist writer

2:07:58 If you're so concerned about women, because he's really saying women here. You know it's really not just about Hillary It's all women they always get a raw deal and I'm here to expose that! Explain to me why i'm not seeing... well I know why but explain to me Why I'm not seeing every single day a report about Lindsay Lohan now first of all Lindsay Lohan has a Not a great reputation But she still is a human being and the woman And the Daily Mail caught pictures of her boyfriend, this is some Russian a-hole Igor Tarabasov, like trust fund kid from Russia. They were vacationing in the Greek island of Mykonos and he is

2:08:44 abusing her. I guess she grabbed his phone and jumped out of the car on the beach, and he ran after her, and then you know, he's ripping her clothes off, and he's putting her in a full Nelson, and throwing her to the ground... I mean, pure and evil abuse. In pictures and video it's really shocking to see her boobs hanging out and you know her dress is all... or her beach...her sundress is all hiked up and he's twisting her arm behind her back just to get the cell phone. And sadly she uh..you know she....I hear this very typical

2:09:22 you know, abuse victim stuff. Well he was really drunk and he went crazy about something but this is insane if you look at it I mean really really violent and there's not a peep about it not a peep so if you're so concerned about women oh I'm sorry its only elitist women other women don't count? Really makes my stomach turn Well, this is a piece of self-promotion for an upcoming book. He's got this theory that if you once you allow something to happen then you can go back your old ways in some particular peculiar way

2:09:57 So you, uh... But even the chat room John is going well Lohan is so 2012. It's not that beside the point do our assholes who say that? It is beside the point but I'm just saying that Malcolm Gladwell is promoting something and this as part of his agenda Understood but you will hear no one talking about this. This girl someone needs to help her otherwise know what we're gonna get just like Amy Winehouse. And she'll be dead And it'll be, oh so sad. Love and light thoughts and prayers so sad disgusting well yes yeah I think it's a different topic but no okay my point is made I would think so you go in the face bags and do it not just on the right The Dallas police Do Not Want To

2:10:55 give in to several FOIA requests and other requests from the media about their report of their use of the bomb robot. Oh, they blow that guy to smithereens? Yes! And the reason why is... well this evidence that we have on videotape could be very embarrassing so we're not going to give that up. Can you believe that?! That's a good one Well, now I really want to know why is it so embarrassing? So they don't want to give it up. And I'd really like to know you know there is no protocol to do this as was something completely new and for some reason murder yeah They say oh no No, no we can't have any of that here's my favorite story of the week This is the old lady did she hear this one about the old lady shot in Florida? No

2:11:47 I was in France, no. In France and Europe they play a lot of Florida stories because a lot of people are tourists and they go to Florida and they like to... And Florida stories are funny! This is not funny but it is kind of. She'd volunteered to participate in a shoot-don't shoot exercise as part of the Citizen Police Academy. During the exercise, police officer Lee Cole shot the librarian in front of nearly three dozen other volunteers. Pentagorda Police Chief Tom Lewis says live ammunition was not supposed to be in any of the guns used during the exercise.

2:12:44 That's sad. I think i'm gonna go with the police academy and I get to be a dummy And do live shoot don't shoot And so she jumps out and the cop guns her down yeah, oh man It's like whoa that's sad Yeah, it's pathetic actually more of a pathetic thing Classic florida news uh here's another one this is a mass hysteria in the north carolina mall Hmm, okay.

2:13:29 That is hectic. Police say loud pops were heard inside Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh, North Carolina, startling shoppers and workers and sending them scrambling. Hundreds of people evacuated the mall was put on lockdown and a nearby highway was blocked off one witness insists she heard about a dozen shots but now police reportedly say they haven't determined if there was an actual shooter They haven't found any shell casings or anyone with gunshot wounds and so far no suspects It's come to this. You know, in maybe six or seven years ago we started talking about shantix the stop smoking drug that smoking cessation drug and how people who are taking the drug sometimes go wacky

2:14:15 Yeah. And wind up not knowing what they did, then you know wake up naked in someone's backyard and just crazy things happening. A lot of sleepwalking. We've had many of our producers say oh my god I have this and of course we recommend if...you know do you have to stop taking shantix? You need to stop smoking! You have to do it a different way. The only way because even if you stopped taking it you still remain a little wacky. You just got to start smoking again and then figure it out later. This now is a defense It's called involuntary intoxication. A couple of new cases... Army soldier who brutally stabbed another Shoal Soldier to death in 2008 won a new hearing because the judge in his original trial refused to let him put on an involuntary intoxication defense, now is back and he has a new round He says he was neurologically disturbed by shantyx and was not aware what he was doing And I think that's right!

2:15:08 I agree. And there's, let me see last year in St Paul... There could be wrongful death suit after this and it should sue the drug company. Should be yes woman charged with trying to kill and assault her two small children was released from prosecutors decided that charges could not stand in light of defendants involuntary intoxication again shantyx Columbia Missouri woman convicted of causing a fatal wreck while driving the wrong way interstate 70 new trial I'll bet you there's some one of those things that doesn't allow you to sue the drug company. Of course, they always put this crap in it. It's a terms-of-service if you take this then you can't sue us. They wouldn't be the one doing the suing though it has to be at legislative level because people are going to sue or the people who got killed or their family is gonna get killed for wrongful death somebody's gonna sue other than you

2:15:59 And so there'll be some, I'm sure there's some legislation that prevents this. They've done it with the vaccines. Vaccines yeah For Thursday show i will pull a couple of quotes Our friend there, Charles Ortel who has been pulling apart the various Clinton foundations. It's not just the Clinton Foundation, it's the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Family Foundation but in particular of interest and I don't have a clip now...I'm going to make a little package for you because there is long interview on Stephen Molyeuw show which i don't watch very often but and he was more Ortel talking about how great that he had him on

2:16:38 And he had this, you know just going back to calling Trump insane while Hillary is sick or reportedly not in well health. Trump University he does this whole piece on what was it called? Laureate Have you heard about the Laureate schools, the Laureate universities? No. Oh so I'll just paraphrase because it's really great. You can look into it but I'm going to have the clips from for our Thursday show. So Laureate was is kind of like a holding company of universities and they started in 2000-2002 they started buying up commercial universities and they were highly leveraged. They were borrowing billion dollars

2:17:22 And But maybe it's because they put Bill Clinton on as the, uh, they called the chancellor of Laureate and he makes $3.3 million a year for basically a part-time gig to show up once in awhile. So somehow they got saved and now they're trying to go public again But when you see the shenanigans, this is four billion dollars in debt. All kinds of help from the State Department and Ortel pulls it apart beautifully he also pulls up... Do you remember when they were asking for don't send us cash or blankets or water? Blankets are water this is it we just need cash I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water

2:18:13 just send your cash. Actually, $32 million just as wire fraud was he points out was sent to a PO box somewhere in Florida where the Clinton Foundation has set up another foundation which was never granted non-profit status by the IRS. That's where all that money went! It went into this... Yeah! I mean... We never did figure out where it went. Ortel is fantastic and he should avoid small aviation and hot tubs and stuff like that. Yeah yeah

2:18:56 But really, really fantastic. And I said it to Tina because she's in the nonprofit sector and she says it's unbelievable that they've never had a... They've never since inception had a proper audit which you have to have by law has to be published She said, how do they get away with all this stuff? You know there's merging of two non-profits together which is according to Ortel is illegally not possible if they have different mission statements and all this. It's just the guy has an oracle of information it's really fantastic um And you kind of think well what better way To focus everybody on horrible scams in education by bringing up Trump University but

2:19:35 But completely obfuscate Laureate, which really I'm going to look into the background. But just that clip from or that bit from Ortel is great so we'll have a little package for everybody on Thursday about that. Well, a lot of stuff came up on the pay-for-play scams and which is new leaks and we're gonna probably look into those more depth meanwhile The Atlantic Foundation to one of them, came up with this report. Is that a right-wing conservative? No no it's just one of those global guys that promote wars and... Oh! One of those guys they came up with the report that apparently annoyed the Russians. They came out with some reports that Russia is going be all geared up for war unless you get an arm. Oh yeah Poland get ready And so they

2:20:24 The Russians on RT, they did a kind of an expose and all these foundations saying that they're all years ago. Yeah, they had endowments and then Brookings was funded by genuine people who gave a crap but now it's all just military industrial complex guys. And this I thought this was really good as little long so I broke it up into two pieces and took some out This is the think tank Eclipse, part one. Vladimir Putin is readying for a new war ahead of the 2018 general election in Russia that's according to a US-based think tank called the Atlantic Council Think tanks are research institutions that often help shape government policies and due to the academic nature of them they're trusted more usually than other organizations but should that be the case RTs Caleb Maupin investigates

2:21:15 Think tanks. They present themselves as universities without students, organizations conducting independent research to inform government policy Of course they love their sponsors and depend on them And it turns out they work very hard to please them U.S federal law forbids working with foreign governments to lobby officials and influence policy People have even gone to prison for it Yet the Center for Global Development and the Brookings Institute have been getting money from and doing favors for foreign entities as they advise federal officials. Brookings, for many decades relied exclusively on endowment money to finance these activities analysis

2:21:58 very often also contain recommendations and those recommendations would have a political resonance. It sounds like Soros, I don't know who that is but... The professor at one of the universities According to the latest New York Times investigation Lockheed Martin and Boeing two top Pentagon contractors have contracted over 77 million dollars to various think tanks And it wasn't an altruistic contribution In return, major US think tanks have come out strongly in favor of exporting weapons around the world i.e., selling their products. It can skew the analysis it can skew the recommendations.

2:22:42 You are buying the imprimatur and since it wasn't known that it was being paid for, then people in Congress or even an executive would credit it with an independence and intellectual authority which in fact didn't deserve. Okay, this is stuff. We kind of know yeah we do know this but it needs to be kind of I don't think we know about the trend, you know that did transition. We kind of were in to know about it from at the beginning or not at the beginning of the corruption but during the corruption and then we kinda like hey it's corrupted, it's corrupt and nobody else seems to think so because these are foreign entities a lot of them. In fact this goes on part two they name one or two was all the Middle Eastern guys. A document? Or pouring money into this. We need to do one of these things!

2:23:43 A think tank. Yeah, let's play part two and I'm gonna talk to my buddy Dan the crisis management guy from DC. I'll talk to him about setting up a think tank All right. Yeah, let's do it. A document from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry states that since it is so hard to access Washington heavyweights directly sponsoring think tanks is often the only way for a foreign government to get its message across Norway is not alone The United Arab Emirates Qatar and many other countries are purchasing favors from DCs powerful think tanks

2:24:19 The Brookings Institute alone got $14.8 million in cash injected from Doha in 2013 I think the best example is the Brookings Institution's Middle East policy work which is of course now under the rubric of the Hayim Saban Middle East Policy Center There's a good reason for that. He gives the money to them, that has shaped their every product on the Middle East for the past several years The history of this is of course is once the Cold War was over those people in the Defense Department who had depended on Soviet Union as main threat To justify huge cold war military budgets were in trouble

2:25:03 And of course they had to come up with Iraq and Iran to try to fill the gap, but that didn't really do it. That has been the basis for getting the think tanks through obviously the money coming from military contractors to push this idea of Russia as a threat and it's all one system and it has worked very well for them Ta-da! Ta-DA is right. Yeah, yeah that is a big ta-da. That's beautiful But if you do that, you really got to play the game because you've gotta have the right people coming in. No they're playing the game at such a high level. That's what I'm saying. 13 million dollars from one from Doha? Yeah but we also need to get some high-ranking military guys in. I think they're playing it such a high level. They bring in tens of hundreds of millions of dollars. I think about two or five million three four five million...I don't think you need to make that much! These guys are greedy

2:26:04 Yeah, we do a think tank bring in maybe five mil Write a couple bogus reports. You know by Boeing great company They make great bombers Very independent unless Airbus wants it Well, that's fine. Buy some research. Airbus makes great bombers they make a good bomber A lot of people don't know about it but it is the best Now we have a donation segment coming up right now and you know of course again its for two shows so it's a little longer than normal But we did have a lot of ongoing conversations in the background as you know

2:26:41 Now, Void Zero ever since the chat room and no agenda infrastructure has morphed over the years. Mr Oil came in and really set us up to help us out in a tremendous manner at a certain point we said okay we're going to stand on our own two legs here and pay for our own infrastructure which Void Zero has setup and maintained for many years he does it with no payment because he loves this show his value for value and is good at it then you have Kevin in there mountain vortex And they run everything. And, uh, you know, so he's always trying to try and disable us money until we had an idea. He said, well I can get these three cheaper servers and do this. So it was always shuffling things around trying to help us. So this all played out in the background in the past week. And he wrote up a report. You saw the report is like just like a, but like what are those guys? Um, IT guy. Yeah. Like a big nice it report for big data TLDR

2:27:37 Well, I read it. Yeah, yes for everyone else's benefit we are at the capacity of our bandwidth so people have probably noticed when we publish the show and this is kind of a downside of RSS particularly at scale when i published the RSS feed everybody who was using you know podcast app you know it said oh wait a minute gotta download them so this the...you know its like terabyte per second, a terabit. It's crazy the amount of traffic that goes and it's slowing down for people. These are large files we're doing two and three hours of podcasting per show and it creates a huge file hundreds of megabytes. Yeah typically about 100 to 120 to 150 megabytes And we're encoding at 96k so you know they were not going to go any lower because then just turn start to sound soapy and crappy

2:28:34 So his analysis is, you know and we're looking at the numbers. We have record numbers in the chat room. We have record numbers of people downloading not that we actually know the number because even he will say there's no real way to count it so all these number things is bull crap but... ...we can see the amount of bandwidth being consumed and the conclusion is we have more people who are enjoying the show but they're not supporting the show Because we're seeing the numbers, the numbers actually are flat or down a little bit and we can attribute that to a lot of things. So there are people coming in more and more who are enjoying the value we provide but not providing it back and we have some choices to make so right now he said okay we're gonna upgrade it's going to cost us more money on ongoing monthly basis

2:29:23 But we'll run into this problem again, and I want you to know that the experience you get is on par—was on par with any media organization. We really try to deliver a great experience—expedient downloads make everything work these guys do a lot of work just keeping it all up and running. And this is a plea to our producing audience that yeah! We need help. You come in, you know you can bitch and moan and say I never donate or I was about to donate God! I got a couple of those again. Oh, it's about the donate but then you said this... I was about the donate until you said this. I'm not donating or used to doing it they never donated So we know that there is only small percentage that supports the show. And we think its under 3%

2:30:11 That's just a, do you think that's still the number? That's kind of your number. Yeah it's kind of the number you'd get in any direct sales kinda thing where it's like... Honor bar kind of you know, you get put the show. We have a lot of people that donate we thank them all profusely and But it's not representative Of the total listenership that is downloading unless you can know this one guy is downloading 100 times a day or something I think which I don't think has happened even the stream even the stream is starting to saturate so they're really trying I just want You know It's costing us more And that is not the way it should be working. Now, we don't make you pay for a download. We don't make you pay for listening to the stream...we don't make you pay for anything! You don't have to but please take into consideration that it isn't an operation that has to keep moving and eventually then he'll just get poor performance. It will just have to be slower on the downloads or anything like that and people are already seeing the problem so we're upgrading it now but

2:31:12 Moving forward, we really do need your support. Well, we do have a few people to thank and let's thank them. This is for again for two shows 815-851 starting with John Johnson don't call me Johnson Jr., Troy in New York $160 and 16 cents. You have to read this one.

2:30:11 That's just a, do you think that's still the number? That's kind of your number. Yeah it's kind of the number you'd get in any direct sales kinda thing where it's like... Honor bar kind of you know, you get put the show. We have a lot of people that donate we thank them all profusely and But it's not representative Of the total listenership that is downloading unless you can know this one guy is downloading 100 times a day or something I think which I don't think has happened even the stream even the stream is starting to saturate so they're really trying I just want You know It's costing us more And that is not the way it should be working.

There's a lot of weird stuff with the Tokyo games They have a perfectly good stadium and they just built in a new one They just build one? I remember Dan Astrid and Sir Mark telling us about that

2:40:11 Now we're just gonna close that up. Yeah, it's all it's all about Construction goodies I heard a story in the entire Olympic village you can't get coffee That's what I told you oh on this now It turns out I'm telling stories that you're telling me yeah, I know it's bad b12 it turns out that you can get coffee But its coca-cola coffee So they have the entire... Coca-Cola made coffee. Yeah, well I don't know what coffee it is but you can get just a regular cup of Joe everything is sanctioned and made and provided by the Coca-Cola company You know when they had the Vancouver Olympics they had sent death threat letters threatening letter to all the small businesses in the Puget Sound area including a bunch of them

2:41:00 Port Angeles threatening anyone like it would be like the Olympics cleaners. The Olympic National Park, they were trying to get him to stop using that name. Yeah of course! Of course. You can't, you know, you can violate that's all it's one big licensing organization is one big I can't it's so fun that we still believe and do a good newsletter. I'll say because you really said how does this have anything to do with the ancient games? This particularly when they talk about our world record that hasn't been broken for 2000 years yet okay. They wish they were doing that I was listening there's number of those nuts

2:41:40 So let's go back in time and play this clip. Oh wait, then we need a back in time... What is the clip? This is Carter on old energy crisis Do you know what year it is? Jimmy Carter this should be around 1977-78 Alright hop in everybody! Going Back to 1970-1978 with Jimmy Carter And he used the full weight of the federal government to jumpstart a new industry of renewable energy. The energy crisis is real! It is worldwide, it is a clear and present danger to our nation these are facts and we simply must face them Wait are we coming back now or are we staying in the 70's?

2:42:28 I remember this era and, Gary, you have an ISO but i think it could be cut down even further because I just like the fact. It's a fact! Play the ISO so we can familiarize ourselves with that quote. The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts. So I'm listening to this and this was about when OPEC decided to flex its muscle and they said, you know, you guys don't need all this oil. Right? And so then there were lines that used to be lines sometimes block long lines or go to a gas station. There were rules about it can only go every other day if he had the deposit driver at what your license plate was

2:43:13 There was even some parts of the country where you couldn't drive if you had an odd number or an even number. You couldn't drive for that day and this sort of thing because we couldn't get any fuel from the Arabs And they were fairly dependent on them. And this was the crisis, it wasn't a crisis of CO2 because the crisis was over. This is when they promoted the idea that you were running out of oil peak oil. Yes what happened to that? Yeah Peak Oil was Peak Oil. There's an energy crisis it was real and worldwide It was a fact

2:43:50 So I'm thinking, of course now that's changed. Now it's about we got too much oil and we don't know what to do with it and this is CO2-ish but always this antagonism toward the energy companies The oil companies in particular. Why? I don't have an answer to this question, just making it open-ended. Why are the oil companies, the big boys Chevron and Standard Oil Union all the rest of them why are they so hated that they have to dream up this stuff constantly just to screw him you have any idea? Only thing i could think of is

2:44:30 That's so that they create legislation based upon campaign donations to make the politicians wealthy enough to get re-elected. And, so it is kind of a blackmail pressure tactic. I'm getting the impression that is exactly what it is! This is just a form of blackmail. Where's our money? You guys are making way too much money. We looked at the books... Where's our campaign donation?! We could use a little this. Clinton is the closest one who came out with an openly You know, with the Clinton Foundation. Whoever put the Clinton Foundation and the Global Initiative and all of it together... Let's give them kudos for being something of geniuses! Yeah when you see how broad that is

2:45:14 No wonder no one wants to touch it with a 10-foot pole. I think hundreds of people are implicated in this and they're all involved and on the take, and it's so broad... It's unbelievably corrupt! ...it's like the spider or black widow of political finance shenanigans When there was a guy who came up with the story, he's an app developer and he says that he has been doing polls in some mechanism that uses this app. I think they're just casual. And he is predicting that Trump is going to win by a landslide! And of course this is kind of what Scott Adams said when he started analyzing Trump

2:45:53 And Scott's backed off on this a little bit because I think he's not listening to the mainstream media, cause he's thinking of himself as you know maybe I should listen to news more often. He is actually being backed off by the media itself This guy who does the app says that when and i think there may be an element When people are polling you nowadays nobody wants to ever admit supporting Trump No They figure your going to be called racist An a-hole, this is what's going on on facebags. That's why you who don't really support anybody but you try to comment on these things... You won't even do it anymore! No no it's not worth the time and people want to... I'm engaging you! You don't wanna engage? No no I don't wanna engage with you

2:46:46 Now, and sometimes I've you know actually i just...I'm not going to forget it now but if I forget like I'll just post something. That's exactly the same thing. Yeah Ben you know what? I'm no longer engaging people aren't gonna engage anymore and then you'll just be in a big echo chamber of bits yelling about how actually I had a couple of uh.. If you're interested I did make a couple screenshots of some crazy Face bag posts should you be inclined I wanted to make this a regular feature, okay? Well we need a jingle for it is what we really need if somebody's gonna have to come up with something. Okay Here we go This is oh yeah, this was the Dallas Observer Where the headline was you know today's rage will find its Oswald was the title and

2:47:43 And actually the brain professor posted, The climate at Trump's rallies today feels like a mirror image of Dallas in the early 1960s. I'm not sure... A mirror image of what? Of Dallas in the early 1960s which is total horse crap! I don't see any comparisons. I don't see any either but this is- Okay yeah I like it. Okay Scott Mednik who was uh she um was an executive in my company we bought his company when we took it public Be aware what Trump is doing properly stoked with hate violence and dehumanizing vilification the climate will find its shooter a Lee Harvey Oswald will step forward to kill JFK or a yugal Amir will volunteer to murder Yitzhak Rabin as Thomas L Friedman argued forcefully two days ago So you're gonna shoot Trump? No, no. That's what it sounds like yeah, but you know what he means...no It means Hillary this is a very long one

2:48:44 You gotta edit these. Yeah, again you're right I'm sorry i shouldn't have even started it because I just wasn't prepared due to lack of time and... Well yeah well that's something you could have done on the plane I think. Yeah okay I'm really sorry! Now what's the- here's another odd clip I want you to tell me what's going on here. Play the Carly Fiorina clip Carly Fiorina Clippage. Perhaps you've been wondering what the next act will be for Carly Fiorina, could it be chairman of the Republican National Committee? What?! That's what I said! I thought she was now supporting Hillary Yeah or something This is odd There is something... this is nuts this whole election I have to say So let's listen too Let's switch gears and actually do some foreign

2:49:34 look at some foreign news, some real news. Some stuff from Turkey which we have to keep up with because all hell's breaking loose in this deal yes let's play the turkey update one now after they feel military coup in Turkey took place in mid-july president Erdogan accused the US of siding with and sheltering the plotters responsible for the attempted overthrow Washington denies any involvement but a Turkish military official wanted by his government for questioning has been spotted in the US. Our Washington correspondent Gayane Chichakan reports Ankara has persistently accused Washington of siding with the alleged plotters of the failed coup, something Washington denies. A Turkish prosecutor now wants Turkish Navy Rear Admiral Mustafa Gürlü on allegations of espionage. Ankara says it asked Washington for information on the admiral's whereabouts and is still waiting for a response. Turkish officials say they haven't heard from him since July 22nd

2:50:31 But NATO has. An article on NATO's website showed that, on July 26 and 27th, O'Gorla participated in a meeting in Norfolk, Virginia to discuss the future of NATO's communications strategy logistics and industrial capabilities according to the article. And here he is on the picture. And a strange thing happened on Friday. Hours after the Turkish admiral appeared in headlines, the NATO website deleted his photo from the article about the meeting. Michael Maloof former Pentagon official with me now. A Turkish Admiral is wanted in Turkey he fails to report to Turkish officials then goes to a NATO meeting in Virginia what does this tell you? He's probably going to do it to request asylum

2:51:14 because of what's happened in Turkey and given his expertise, his knowledge and what he knows about NATO secrets I think they're going to probably try to shelter him as much as possible. When the commander of US CENTCOM General Joseph Votel expressed concern over Erdogan's purge of the military, Erdogan accused him of siding with the coup plotters. Turkey constantly accuses the US of something and Washington tries to make it seem like its business as usual like nothing changed well things have changed and but yet the United States wants to put a nice gloss on it and make it look like there's nothing really wrong

2:51:52 even though the United States and Turkey have been at odds for quite some time now, not only on the dynamics of fighting the war in Syria but also the support that Turkey has given to ISIS and other jihadi Salafist groups. But the United States wants to minimize that as much as possible." Now what's interesting is this report goes on... none of this is reported here I don't remember anything about the disappearing act of this Admiral especially off the website. No, and see so this is like they're trying to dis again RT needling us in some funny way but there was a good part too they do mention something I think that's also not being reported much which is that according to their theories everyone just given up on becoming a member of the EU So that's over

2:52:45 And I kind of agree with that. So they're just going to, he's just gonna...I think at some point he is going to join the caliphate but they don't mention that. He would play this. Turkey invites Russia to engage in joint operations against ISIL two weeks after the US says it doesn't want Russia to be part of the anti-ISIL coalition because of its support for the Assad government Did Turkey break ranks? In one sense, yes. But it was also a recognition of certain realities on the part of Erdogan I think he's basically given up on the EU and the fact that he has now created this climate of wanting to be more autocratic wants to change the constitution He is cracking down internally

2:53:28 basically throws him out of any consideration for the EU. So now he's looking more eastward The problem for the United States is that they are now feeling left out Turkey remains a NATO ally but its role in the alliance is becoming stranger by the day In Washington, I'm Ganesh Chaitan RT Yeah it's just...I'll say it's stranger by the day And it is always under review. You know, and what's so interesting to me is here we have you know finally we're seeing articles I mean there's nothing the American public is completely oblivious because we're carpet bombed with Trump

2:54:06 You know, that's all people here. People are going wacky they're all freaking out they're angry with each other but the Fetula Gulen charter schools is now really coming to the forefront there's questions being asked but it's such a small scale that no one cares and amazing to me is that The Killing Ed documentary our buddy Mark Hall you know he cannot get this thing really in any mass scale There's just no one wants to hear about it. Ah, you're crazy and blah blah... But he is screening it all over the country and people who are coming and seeing that love it It's just there is a lot of corruption

2:54:45 with this movement and when corruption, I mean politicians are you know every year there's a junket. Oh we're gonna go to the ball the children go to Turkey and have a big you know all they select children from the charter schools even the ones from the US and... I wonder if that's going to continue with this said with the climate currently those junkets to Turkey yeah? I think they're gonna end those it would have to you think but you know nothing surprises me nothing surprises me um i'm gonna move us along since uh we're kind of nearing our time here I forgot to clip this one. I played it from the web, it's just such a beautiful piece This was... you mentioned the pay-to-play and there is a backstory on this pay-to-play why its such an issue but again from the Wikileaks emails

2:55:33 Well, these are the latest ones. The ones that just came out. Yeah I actually have one clip on it somewhere think... I have a clip that is State Department and is actually they set it up in this and of course our hero Matt Lee is in this as well Whether or not this person wound up getting a job or not yeah This was about a big donor of the Clinton Foundation being given a job and was on the short list. A job with the State Department? Yeah, true collusion and Hillary Clinton signed a pledge in documents that she could not do that while she was Secretary of State. And just to make it worse its Uma Abedin who is on Hillary's email

2:56:15 saying, hey it's Uma here. We're working on it we've already told HR or whatever department definitely to make this a priority so yeah its pay for play here is the question. Okay well I can't speak to specific case. Oh it was fucking edited I'm sorry. Also not going to speak to specific redactions. Ah fuck it! I hate that raw audio is great and RT has all funked up That's stupid. Oh, Christ! I saw it on RT. Well try this one. Try the Clinton Foundation on DN. Just something funny to get us out. The Clinton campaign is continuing to face questions following the release of 44 State Department emails showing close ties between the Clinton Foundation and

2:57:01 Department, during Clinton's time as secretary of state. The emails include communications between top members of the Clinton Foundation and Clinton's top State Department advisors, including Huma Abedin and lawyer Cheryl Mills. One of the communications was about billionaire Nigerian-based developer Gilbert Shigure, who had contributed between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. The emails show a top Clinton Foundation executive writing to Abedin and Mills asking for help putting Shigouri in touch with the U.S. ambassador to Lebanon. Abedin responded, "'I'll talk to Jeff,' referring then-U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman." On Wednesday, Shigouri's spokesmen said Shigouri quote was simply passing along his observations and insights about the dire political situation in Lebanon at that time," unquote. OK, I have the clip. And this is—a question about this very incident.

2:57:52 Criticism by some that suggests there was a relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department at the time. There was an email that came out in this recent set, but it's between an executive of the Clinton Foundation and Huma Abedin. I love how our clips flow over each other in this case is great. Mills where he is requesting to set up a meeting between a billionaire donor and US ambassador Lebanon do you have any response? So, you know very similar to what I said before. I'm not going to speak to specific emails however i think you guys know state department officials are regularly in touch with a wide variety of outside individuals and organizations including businesses non-profits NGOs think tanks You know the nearly 55 000 pages of former secretary Clinton's emails released by the department over the past year give us sense

2:58:46 of the wide range of individuals both inside and outside government that State Department officials are in contact with on a range of subjects. You don't feel like there was impropriety in the relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department? We talked to a wide range of people at my level. At various levels. This is Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau, and it just gets better she's just- She's the worst Oh no but she's in her eyes are bugging out really wide like And all she can do is we have as we've stated before In the department NGOs think tanks business leaders you know experts on a variety of subjects

2:59:26 the president. personally or substantially in any way involve herself with the Clinton Foundation. So it's not just any outside organization, it is specific organization that she said ahead of time she wouldn't have contact with so doesn't this then seem to violate that pledge? So again, to reiterate you know department officials are in touch with a wide range of individuals I'd note that former Secretary Clinton's agreement did not preclude

3:00:03 other State Department officials from having contact with Clinton Foundation staff. Can you at least try to answer Abigail's question, which was is the department looked into this and determined that there was no impropriety? The department is regularly in touch with people across the whole spectrum. That's not the question. The question is whether or You looked into this, the building has looked into it and determined that everything was okay. That there was nothing wrong We feel confident in our ability and our past practice of reaching out to a variety of sources And being responsive to requests I'm sorry am I not speaking English? Is this...I mean is it coming across as a form...I'm not asking you if...no one's saying Am I not speaking English?! Yeah It just keeps...that's a classic It just keeps on doing it

3:00:54 That's the stuff that should be on the news, man. That's fun to watch! I'd be watching it and it would be great! They don't want to do that at all. At all? It is not serving the purpose of advertisers. No...at all Well we don't serve any advertisers either What we serve is you! Not looking at you John, looking at them. We're not serving the advertisers either. I think were are the only ones who...period Well, there are more people who have a value for value model But this has been all right This is the entire foundation of the show having us having working in value from every moment and having an ad I'll say All right.
