About this episode

Hillary Clinton collapsed at the September 11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero, an incident the campaign initially attributed to heat but later clarified as pneumonia. Eyewitness video showing Clinton stumbling into a motorcade van has fueled intense speculation regarding her physical fitness, while Representative Louie Gohmert and Dr. Justin Marchegiani raised public concerns about potential neurological impairments. This medical episode coincides with a polling tightening as the media narrative shifts toward a more competitive race.

Secondary developments include the backlash from Clinton’s "basket of deplorables" remark at an LGBT fundraiser, which surrogate Stephanie Cutter defended on Meet the Press. In North Dakota, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe continues to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, leading Governor Jack Dalrymple to mobilize the National Guard. Internationally, the Army of Conquest rebel coalition in Syria reportedly receives sustained support from Turkey and Qatar, while North Korea’s Ri Chun-hee announced a fifth nuclear test. Domestically, Wells Fargo faces a $185 million fine for opening two million unauthorized accounts, and the House of Representatives passed a bill allowing 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia despite a veto threat from President Obama.

The 15th anniversary of the 2001 attacks prompted a donor poll where 90% of respondents expressed skepticism toward the official Building 7 narrative. The show also explores the history of the National Anthem amid NFL kneeling protests and the death of Greta Friedman, the woman from the V-J Day kiss photo. Archduke Nussbaum of Virginia Beach is recognized as the Executive Producer for this broadcast.

Hillary Clinton Medical Episode, September 11 Memorial Fainting

Hillary Clinton unexpectedly left the September 11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City due to an apparent medical episode. Eyewitness reports and video footage indicate Clinton stumbled off a curb and appeared to faint before being helped into her motorcade van by her protective detail. During the incident, she reportedly lost a shoe, which was later recovered by her staff.

00:00 You're gonna hate Jake Daniels. I do declare the vapors have made me lose my shoe! And broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State here in Austin Tejas, senior region 6 In The Morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where this is the gloomiest day i think we've ever started to show with...I'm John C. DuVora. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Mornin'! Really? Gloomiest day? Because it's like almost dark out. Oh well you are as beautiful here today

00:41 FEMA region 6 is nice. It's nice. It's just like fogged in and it's cold, and it's gloomy. Hey breaking news! Breaking news, breaking news... Something's breaking. Yeah where's my breakin' news sound? Hold on a second I don't have the- yes! Breaking News John! Breaking New from Ground Zero in New York City this being September 11th we of course have the big memorial happening at ground zero And breaking news, breaking news. This came in just before we started with the show Before we get to that I wanted to bring our viewers up-to-date on a story that is breaking right now That i just learned about within the last 15 or 20 minutes as you know there are many dignitaries gathered at the scene including Republican nominee Donald Trump and the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton who was at ground zero was there for the ceremony and left

01:29 unexpectedly left early because of what appeared to be a medical episode. I have a law enforcement source who was there, who was 15 feet away from Hillary Clinton and he says she was standing on a curb with her protective detail waiting for her motorcade they were surprised to see her because she wasn't supposed to be leaving yet so they had to wait for the motorcade two or three minutes when it finally rolled up my source says she stumbled off the curb appeared to faint lost one of her shoes that wound up underneath the van Her protective detail, I'm told helped her into that van and then the van took off presumably in the direction of a hospital. They grabbed her shoe and flagged down the rest of her detail

02:07 Her shoe was given to that detail who was following the other two vehicles and they left ground zero early just moments ago because of some apparent medical episode that Hillary Clinton was suffering. It's not terribly hot today, John. It is warm certainly warm in one of the scene but again Hillary Clinton my source with 15 feet away says she appeared to be having some sort a medical episode had to be helped into her van and left left the, uh, left ground zero early for this ceremony ended. Uh, apparently because of a medical problem man lost her shoe. Well that's videos already on the, on YouTube is of course she lost it and she looks like she would rush this van over open all the doors as huge escalate of some sort I think and um

03:01 And then she's gonna get in and then she drops from view, and then they carry her into the van. They actually have to carry her? I think so. Does anybody even consider the possibility that she was plastered? Why not Sunday morning is a good time as any. Yeah Saturday night big nights it goes out probably in The Hamptons again I mean, it's not even suggested. Well that would also be a medical episode. Yeah but technically... It makes more sense as it shows she knows how to party. Oh god only you John C. Dvorak only you man yeah well I'm feeling really sorry for her! Well I'm gonna see what she did- it's gonna be interesting to see what good she comes up with

CHAPTER 02 / 53 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Basket of Deplorables Speech Controversy

Hillary Clinton sparked significant backlash after labeling half of Donald Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables" during an LGBT fundraiser. She characterized these individuals as racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic. While her campaign issued a "regret memo" regarding the generalization, critics argue the rhetoric mirrors the very divisiveness she attributes to her opponent.

hillary clinton· basket of deplorables· lgbt fundraiser· hate speech· alt-right

03:52 I mean, when I was talking about their projecting the projecting. Oh Trump's gonna quit remember that? Yeah, what a month ago. Yeah, oh Trump's gonna quit the campaign cuz he's so far behind He's gonna quit And you know which is bullcrap and it was a bulk and it was a story covered by all the mainstream media Everybody covered it always got to quit yeah and start his own TV station Yes, to start his own TV station. Trump TV. Yeah exactly. Oh man! Well you know what? The way the Clintons operate and I'm gonna be very very skeptical here...I think I should be if you have a fracas going on the Clintons are very good at distracting

04:42 So right now we have what she said on the TVs yesterday. Or was it yesterday? Yeah, about day before yesterday. The deplorables And this is...this was the conversation all morning. We should probably just you know this she said this twice actually I think it may be a promotion for the new movies from Disney Hold on! I want to hear that here's what...the deplorables Here's what Hillary Clinton said at the deplorables Here's what Hillary Clinton said last night at a LGBT fundraiser. The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic Islamophobic you name it. But that other basket of people are people who feel the government has let them down? Oh okay and that's the other basket of people she actually said this this is something she rehearsed on a previous interview or on an interview for Israeli television I don't think many people have seen this but this is where she kind of tested it out Shouldn't this race have been easier

05:58 I never expected an easy race. If i were to be grossly generalistic, I'd say you can take Trump supporters and put them in two big baskets there are what I call the deplorables. The racists, the haters and the people who are drawn because they think somehow he's going to restore a America that no longer exists. So of course everybody jumped on that And there was some regret memo that went out. Not an apology, but a regret memo. No just a regret no apologies. That's good makes sense. Just like Trump she won't apologize Our producer Charlie Primero he put together a compilation of this speech that she did where she mentioned this you know basket of deplorables

06:46 Which I mean really, our show titles write themselves if it weren't for the fact that everyone already heard about this one. But that speech? You want to hear some hate? You wanna hear some hate speech? Oh, I love hate speech! Producer Charlie made a little compilation... We'll be talking more about small business and our economic plans in the days and weeks ahead But today, Donald Trump divisive prejudice hate groups radical dangerous largely white racism sinister harmful dog whistle hateful racial discrimination conspiracy theories birthers racist racist rapists and criminals bigotry racist white supremacist bigot white

07:34 supremacist David Duke anti-semitic Ku Klux Klan anti-semitic racist bigotry prejudice persecution hate groups extremists racists anti women racist alt right discriminating Vladimir Putin David Duke white supremacist racist white supremacist alt right hate hate bullying racist bigotry prejudice prejudiced thank you all so very much let's go win the election There you go, that was speech in a nutshell. It's amazing! Yeah that's why they point the finger the other way He's a hater... yeah it works seems to work It actually prompted Secret Agent Paul to do a new song. Secret Agent Paul has done so many of our jingles and songs And I guess he felt maybe it was about time we said if you're man you're no good If your straight your no good

08:34 You know, you're just if you're white. You're a racist and this is pretty much the what everyone's saying correct? Oh absolutely then time for a tune If you watch your racist If you mail your pig if this is you are privileged Skinny show me if you big And if you're straight, you're homophobic. Heaven help if you're wrong. So don't have an opinion and just do what you're told. That's right everybody! If you're white, you're a racist! Nothing like a new song for the show... Yeah it works. Oh boy

CHAPTER 03 / 53 Discussion

Stephanie Cutter, Defense of Deplorables Remark

Clinton surrogate Stephanie Cutter defended the "deplorables" comment on Meet the Press, suggesting the only mistake was the specific "half" quantification. Cutter argued that Donald Trump’s campaign actively attracts the alt-right and that his rhetoric regarding Mexicans and Gold Star families justifies the characterization. She maintained that the core of the message remains accurate regarding a segment of the Republican base.

stephanie cutter· meet the press· chuck todd· clinton surrogate· alt-right

09:24 So there was some funny stuff that went on and there's a couple of things. You wanted to stay on the deplorable thing for one second? Yeah, now let's get the date straight on this I believe this was on Thursday Yes it was you're correct yeah It wasn't it but that's why we didn't have it on Thursday because with show day Of course he was on and uh...I don't know when was that Israeli event Oh! That was ummm beginning of the week Oh, it was. Yeah so she had already tested this out. So was it within range? Within range yes yeah but what she did with the second round is she got full of herself and started dropping all these little... All the little extra bits in there mean bombs well it was the LGBT thing you know that's a hootin' and hollerin' crowd This morning Chet on Meet The Press Chet Todd had Stephanie Cutter on

10:18 What is she? I know she's a Clinton surrogate. I'm not quite sure what she does and she just ratcheted it up a little bit, I thought this was cool. Stephanie it's tough to defend the remark isn't or no Do you think it's tough to defend the remark deplorables to do that? Absolutely not. I think that her only mistake is that she said half of his supporters were deplorable, but does anybody around this table have they not seen Trump rallies and have they not seen Trump's own remarks he is attracting a certain type of voter which gave him a whole speech on describing them there called the alt-right

10:53 And they tweet racist things, he retweets them. He says it from the stump! From research in this election we know that his own words calling Mexicans rapists criticizing a gold star family these are the most potent things against him with independent voters What she said was not wrong her only mistake was that she described half of his supporters that way All of us are all that way they're all deplorable Wow, that's a good one. That's almost something I'll take a borderline You said that's almost as the end and then you do what you backed off

CHAPTER 04 / 53 Discussion

Trump Rally Attendance, Crowd Demographics Comparison

Donald Trump continues to fill large stadiums with 15,000 to 20,000 attendees, while Hillary Clinton reportedly struggles to fill smaller venues. Observations from a recent Trump rally in Arkansas suggest the crowds are composed of diverse families rather than the "hateful" caricatures described by political opponents. In contrast, Clinton's appearance at a Baptist Convention required closing off sections of the hall to hide empty seats.

donald trump· campaign rallies· crowd size· baptist convention· demographics

11:31 Okay, okay. You know what you got a you gotta fix you get a heavy thumb I'm sorry. I'll take it boom now a couple of there's a noteworthy things in here besides the fact that the day let's let's start at the beginning you me and You may have been to one of these rallies, and I was looking at these rallies. They did they're continuing to fill stadiums 15 20 thousand people a pop man's crazy and Hillary still can't fill you know more than maybe couple thousands Did you see there's a there's one video it might be in the show notes? Yeah about the Baptist Convention yeah And they had to close off two-thirds of the hall with walls so that look didn't look too empty yeah That's an old trick

12:17 So, she doesn't draw a big cross. She's boring to listen to! She talks like this... I am a robot. How about consider this? The thesis has always been Bill has to die for the sympathy vote What if it is the ultimate double-cross? Bill kills her? Yes!! Now, you know the funny thing is morbidly enough I have actually thought that. Yeah we both have but let's get back to this question. Can i just ask you one question? He can't be president again can he no no okay all right So, uh... But maybe he's like I'm gonna kill that bitch. I'm so tired of her! I am going to be president again. He has his own model of the Oval Office and runs Clinton Foundation out of it. Back to the question Yes You have been To a Trump rally? Yeah you have been an actual honest-to-God

13:16 Trump rally, you were invited there by one of our producers. A dude named Ben in Arkansas yes And was it filled with a bunch of racist pigs and homophobes and David Duke supporters and hateful deplorables? Well, of course my bias may be such that I am actually a deplorable and don't know it. This is possible but... A lot of us are. ...I saw a lot of families. I saw brown people. I saw a lot of you know people having fun chatting and really about 30 minutes in you know people were just okay that was great is boring and they didn't start to trickle out and leave there also not enough bathrooms because they were kids but no! It's not my experience at all

14:00 Yeah, although I do feel that tiny dancer is a little offensive after you know no no no nope They still play tiny dancer and you can't always get what you want. Oh yeah So no, I have not seen this. All these people...I want to mention this that the people who are actually in the field reporting on this they don't really ask them about the atmosphere they just let him report in their whatever biased way they have depending on the station or network but uh these other people like this woman here she just makes these assumptions she has never been to a rally to check it out clearly not of course not She's a Hillary person! She'd never do that

CHAPTER 05 / 53 Discussion

Louie Gohmert, Hillary Clinton Mental Impairment Claims

Representative Louie Gohmert suggested during a public appearance that Hillary Clinton may be suffering from mental impairment. Gohmert referenced her previous concussion and a fall as potential causes for her perceived health struggles. He urged supporters to pray for her rather than make fun of her, framing her condition as a serious medical concern that the campaign is hiding.

louie gohmert· hillary clinton· mental impairment· concussion· health rumors

14:39 No, you can't do it. Why bother? Don't listen to the other side just make stuff up. I find it to be negative. Well, there were a couple other things I picked up if you want to...I mean i'm really just collecting funny stuff at this point because the actual topics are dumb. What's the best stuff? Yeah here's um...Tina The Keeper alerted me to this one. Oh! You gotta see this guy what's his name Louie Louie oh Louie Gohmert yeah okay what did he say well here it is. I do wanna...Hello Jackson by the way. Yeah of course. Born since most people here are Christians and

15:15 And I'm serious about this. A true believer does what Jesus did and still does, but you know you don't make fun of people who are impaired have special needs and whether you like her or not Hillary Clinton has made clear she is mentally impaired This is not somebody you should be making fun of I get the impression that in law school and along the way she's been very, very smart. But...I don't know maybe it was the concussion to fall back when she did or maybe who knows you know they won't tell us what really is going on with her but we need to be praying for Hillary Clinton That's another way to do it She's mentally ill

CHAPTER 06 / 53 Discussion

Dr. Justin Marchegiani, Parkinson's Disease Speculation

Anesthesiologist Dr. Justin Marchegiani released a video speculating that Hillary Clinton exhibits symptoms consistent with Parkinson's disease or advanced Alzheimer's. He specifically pointed to her frequent coughing fits as a sign of swallowing difficulties, a common symptom of neurological decline or the side effects of related medications. The doctor clarified that he has not personally examined the candidate.

justin marchegiani· parkinson's disease· alzheimer's· swallowing difficulties· health speculation

16:12 Well, there's a video going around you've seen it. I don't know if it's in the show notes or not It's worth watching this guy is not that good who's got a phony new show he does Oh, this is the doctor? No, yeah The doctor was on the guy show the guy himself Yeah, who does his call now? I got a lot of emails about this as well from our producers so go ahead Yeah, it's a good piece the piece with the doctor on and who happens to be an anesthesiologist. It's a good piece, but it does not...it's not for clips really I mean it's just we can summarize yeah it's just something you should have on the show notes and it's a long..it's a half hour or longer and this doctor who is again he's an anesthesiologist he's not a neurologist but he still goes on about how Hillary has Parkinson's

16:55 And he makes all these arguments. A lot of them are something of a stretch, it seems to me. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Well I think the main argument that I've read from producers–we have doctors, physicians and of course even this doctor says hey look, I haven't checked her out personally so I don't know but everything that's here points to swallowing difficulties which is not only a symptom of advanced Alzheimer's but also the drugs that treat Alzheimer's uh, apparently that's one of the Parkinson's. I'm sorry. Parkinson's what am I saying? Yeah. Parkinson's it um, it enhances some of those side effects which is the swallowing and that is you know, that could be the coughing and the voice like if you swallow water wrong for a second now, you know what that's like And that is what Parkinson's does yeah so...I didn't know this about Parkinson's I presume its true I don't know It was very interesting little

17:46 I don't know if it subjects the guy to being sued. Well, he disclaimed it and he disclaimed that he said look I really don't know but this is what I'm seeing Meanwhile this show this guy's got he's done a good job of buying some of those little Things you can get if you're producing video You can buy all these like backgrounds and all these things for green screens stuff So he looks like he's got a real news show going on there His reporting is mediocre to say the least. He reported that the North Koreans set off a 10 megaton nuke. Sure they did! And that's like what? Ten mega tons, that's a little bit more than it was.

CHAPTER 07 / 53 Discussion

Ri Chun-hee, North Korean News Anchor Profile

Ri Chun-hee, North Korea's most famous news anchor, remains the primary voice for the regime's major announcements, including the recent fifth nuclear test. Known for her dramatic delivery and trademark pink dress, the 70-year-old broadcaster has served under three generations of the Kim dynasty. Despite rumors of retirement, she continues to be Kim Jong Un's preferred messenger for international warnings.

ri chun-hee· north korea· pyongyang· news anchor· nuclear tests

18:30 seem to be specializing in extremely small nuclear bombs, which is... Well since you've moved us here and I do want to get back to the elections. Your favorite person in North Korea Oh yeah she was front and center Yeah this is your news reader Yeah. And, um... I couldn't get a long clip of her though. Oh well, I have a clip that explains about her celebrity status! I didn't realize-I mean, we like her. Do we have that uh... the North Korea We had a cool little clip, North Korea lady. This is it I think episode... when did we first identify her? 789 I believe this is let's see That's the lady! She's the best Yeah so she's a celebrity She's North Korea's go-to news anchor for nuclear tests rocket launches and warnings about the evils of the West Ri Chun Hee has cried laughed and shouted on North Korean Central Television for over 40 years

19:32 And now she's announced that Pyongyang has successfully carried out its fifth nuclear test. Nobody knows her exact age, but Ri Chun-hee is thought to be in her 70s She recently told a documentary film that she wants to step down and train new female announcers It's thought that Kim Jong Un always personally insists that she delivers his messages to the world Ri lives in Pyongyang where she's said to enjoy entertaining as well as sampling the capital's best restaurants. Her face is shown on big TV screens while people watch, clap and sometimes cry She likes to wear pink especially a trademark traditional Korean dress In January she wore it to announce the test of a hydrogen bomb

20:21 But it doesn't suit all occasions. On the 19th of December 2011, she wore black as she announced the death of the previous leader Kim Jong-il. This performance was so memorable that it was even parodied by a Taiwanese news announcer who was subsequently removed from the island's Chinese TV station. We need to get her to do an opening for us.

21:01 You know, if we could get a... If we could learn what the system is for the mail in North Korea I bet you we can run through China and get to her. And I'll betcha she'd do it! Well this is the task for our producers then We have people everywhere There's no reason that you wouldn't do it if you were her. Yeah, oh I'd be all over it hey yeah podcast hell yeah! Western news wants me to yell something. Western news podcasts would be... western news podcasts which is very modern. This just in from our contacts um

CHAPTER 08 / 53 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Baptist Convention Father Anecdote

Hillary Clinton shared a personal story at the Baptist Convention about her late father, a Navy veteran, praying on his knees every night. Skeptics have questioned the authenticity of the anecdote, suggesting it was a manufactured "cock-and-bull story" designed to appeal to a religious audience. The narrative is being scrutinized as part of a broader pattern of campaign storytelling.

hillary clinton· baptist convention· navy veteran· prayer· skepticism

21:40 Apparently there were other complications. This comes from our one of our contacts who spoke this morning to the Secret Service Okay, apparently there were other complications surrounding this episode more to come this a helluva Hillary Clinton anything Yeah what no it doesn't tell us anything but it means stay tuned good then sound good It means don't change the channel that's what it means don't don't change into another part Maybe we do a running through two thing? This is a typical show day yeah, oh yeah, I'll mention that yep Every time we do a show, something like this will happen. Not always but a lot more than it should. But again it's two days out of the week so you know could be just the odds let's play couple clips about North Korea situation. You want to move away from them? I have so many political stuff! Do you want to go to North Korea? I mean your changing everything...I can go back to North Korea doesn't bother me. Let's come back to North Korea got a couple clips that I wanna play. Back to political if your gonna do that I want to play

22:33 Hillary's little, the bit that they keep playing over and over and over again when she went to the Baptist Convention. And made this what I consider a bogus story about Hillary's dad. I still remember my late father A gruff former Navy man on his knees praying by his bed every night That made a big impression on me as a young girl seeing him humble himself before God. Okay, you think it's bogus? Yeah I think it is just a na... He has a navy guy! Hello?! Oh they can't see... A gruff navy guy! You know my dad was a gruff Navy guy and didn't see him ever get on his knees before bed especially when they're older guys are old they like they can't get on their knees that hurts yeah

23:29 Unless he had a little thing there, a little pad I don't think so. This sounds like a story that was made up and it's just bull crap and she needed something to talk to these Baptists with and she needed a cock-and-bull story and this was it? I may be overly skeptical about these things but I think the stories bull crap. Speaking of bullcrap, Tim Cain is still out there. Just a funny guy to watch you know talk about milquetoast this guy is milk toast oh yeah he's the worst and he launched into this tirade at one of his appearances about the Russians now we'll get into the Russians later because with the backdrop

CHAPTER 09 / 53 Discussion

Tim Kaine, Russian DNC Hack Allegations

Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine compared Donald Trump’s alleged encouragement of Russian hacking to the actions that led to Richard Nixon's impeachment. Kaine asserted that the Russian government was definitively behind the DNC data breach with the intent to delegitimize the U.S. election. He criticized Trump for publicly inviting foreign actors to conduct espionage against political rivals.

tim kaine· dnc hack· vladimir putin· richard nixon· impeachment

24:11 Lavrov and Kerry working on an agreement for Syria side by side, uh... And even bringing the journalists who were waiting for this news of our agreement pizza and vodka. Yeah, Kerry brought the pizza, Lavrov- The vodka. The vodka. But still, oh no! It's all Putin! Screw it! Bad bad Russians hacking the election horrible! Do you think that the Russians are- I'm sorry this was um Charlie Rose, I think. Vice presidential nominee, Cain. Tim Cain. Oh it's Cain? Yeah! Well you know he sounds like the prominent... I lost the Cain reference early but well he sounds a little bit like Morell

25:18 It's had a tad morel is more staccato, but it's the same amount of bullshit coming out of his mouth That's for sure very clear that the Russians were behind the DNC attack and their motive It at a minimum. It's to delegitimize the election Stop this clip Does anybody, when this nonsense comes up ever say that there's a guy that has been sentenced to 54 or 52 to 54 months in jail named Guccifer who already admitted to this? Yeah. Why would we do that when we have these...this great story? Who gives a crap, Guccifer! Onward.

25:59 At a minimum, it's to delegitimize the election. At a minimum it's that but remember when a presidential candidate encouraged Crooks to commit espionage against the DNC in a presidential year to gain an edge we impeached and Richard Nixon and he resigned when Donald Trump went on there publicly and said to the Russians hey go ahead and hack away and if you find something that helps me out let me have it We impeached a president for that what he has encouraged Russia to do okay so The idea is... Yeah, his thinking... They're trying this out. I'm reading more of this. So the idea is we impeached President Nixon because he encouraged criminals to spy and steal data and documentation which was Watergate. From the DNC? Of the DNC.

26:51 And so now he's saying, well you know Donald Trump. He encouraged foreign actors to spy and hack on the DNC so it was just like Nixon! You need to be impeached oh wait he's not president yet but he's not good he's a bad guy. I realized something about this hate for against Russia even though again right now we're working with the Russians put a deal together regarding Syria whatever that'll mean long term You know, my family even who were State Department and other civilians in the Pentagon.

CHAPTER 10 / 53 Discussion

Cold War Legacy, U.S. Sentiment Toward Russia

Modern American hostility toward Russia is being framed as a lingering psychological remnant of the Cold War and 1980s-era conflicts like the Soviet-Afghan War. This sentiment is reinforced by media portrayals such as the film "Charlie Wilson's War." Analysts suggest the military-industrial complex benefits from maintaining Russia as a primary adversary to justify continued defense spending on armaments.

cold war· charlie wilson's war· military industrial complex· dwight eisenhower· mccarthyism

27:28 You know, they're like oh man you got to be careful Russia's no good Putin is no good. This hate is very obvious Tina and I watched Charlie Wilson's War yesterday and it'd been a long time since I've seen that she hadn't seen it And when you realize that...and I encourage everyone to watch this movie The hate against the Russians in the beginning of the 80s was huge in United States because they were in Afghanistan and the way It's portrayed in the movie, you know just talking about their girlfriends and then all time to hunt just mowing down everybody in Afghanistan with helicopter gunships. And then this guy, Congressman Charlie Wilson he got all this money together and they outfitted the Mujahideen and of course that is now you know that has ultimately became our problem but you see the hatred for the Russians you know we're gonna kill some Russian screw these guys...and I was 1988-89 so if you have people who are still in the political arena who were around then and active yeah

28:25 I don't think they've ever gotten over that hate, even though it's a completely different organization. It's a different country and yeah there are all kinds of issues with Russia not trying to say it's fabulous but you know to then just... You know? I think that's where it comes from John. In 89, I mean that to me was like oh crap! That's not that long ago. I think it comes from Patton from Patent goes back to the end of World War II. Okay, when we patent and some other generals courses just never happened because Eisenhower ended up kind of dominating their thinking to invade Russia and then I think it also didn't stem from them developing a hydrogen bomb which they stole

29:09 the plans for from us through their espionage. And I think once the espionage became apparent and then it was exaggerated, the Russian problem was exaggerated by the McCarthy era and McCarthy's waving sheets of paper saying all these people... Right. ...and I'm sure there were a lot of Russian agents all over the place. I think we're so infested with, and I think that was genuinely true that we were so infested with Russian agents because they They just got out of this war, which they lost more people than anybody in World War II period. And I think that it just stems...I think it's a long-standing problem when we kind of broke out of it for a short time when the Soviet Union fell apart. We could have probably gone in another direction but

29:56 I think the defense industries and others have encouraged this because it helps us spend money on armaments, which is one of the few things we actually manufacture in this country. And... Interesting. ...I think that's kept things going. I think Eisenhower was correct. Oh, the military industrial complex? The Russians are a good target. It's interesting you bring that up just to jump around for a second there was Brolf Brofblitzer, who the hell was he talking to? Oh Rand Paul which I normally wouldn't play but and really Rand Paul is not important in this clip. But Rand Paul is talking about how we are assisting Saudi Arabia with the bombing of Al Qaeda and the Maghreb

During an interview with Senator Rand Paul, CNN's Wolf Blitzer questioned the morality of stopping arms sales to Saudi Arabia by citing potential job losses in the U.S. defense sector. While Paul argued against assisting the Saudi bombing campaign in Yemen due to civilian casualties, Blitzer emphasized the economic impact on contractors like Grumman. The exchange highlighted the tension between foreign policy ethics and domestic manufacturing interests.

30:43 or an Al Qaeda in Yemen, and Rand Paul's like you know we got to stop that. We gotta stop doing this there is no permission what's going on how can we do that? And listen to what Brohl says... We are refueling the Saudi bombers. So we are essentially part of the bombing campaign, we're helping them choose targets and we are refueling the Saudi bombers that are dropping the bombs it is said that thousands of civilians have died in Yemen because of this yes we need to have a debate over this and I don't know what the president will do but he oughta become come to Congress and ask for permission so for you this is a moral issue because you know there's a lot of jobs

31:25 at stake. Certainly if a lot of these defense contractors stop selling warplanes, other sophisticated equipment to Saudi Arabia there's going to be a significant loss in jobs and revenue here in the United States that secondary from your standpoint. What? Yeah, Brolf is saying if we stop helping the Saudis... Holy crap! Who does he work for this Brolf guy?! That's unbelievable that is a clip of today. Oh yes thank you sir You get Clip of the Day when I'm aghast by what i've just heard. And the sad thing is, Brolfa IS right! Is he working for the military industrial complex as a spokesperson? I guess... Oh to hell with all these dead people we're gonna lose our asses and people are gonna lose jobs because their grumman's not going to sell a jet to these guys Yeah they're not gonna sell anything. I know isn't that great?! Unbelievable you gotta put that clip aside because it needs to be replayed in the future

Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, Saudi Veto

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill allowing 9-11 victims' families to sue Saudi Arabia, following the Senate's earlier approval. President Obama has threatened to veto the legislation, citing concerns over sovereign immunity and potential retaliatory lawsuits against the United States in foreign courts. Saudi Arabia has reportedly threatened to sell $750 billion in U.S. assets if the bill becomes law.

jasta· saudi arabia· 9-11 victims· barack obama· 28 pages

32:21 on the morning Joe's show that is unbelievable. That's an unbelievable type of coverage Anyway, before we go on with any more Saudi stuff you do you want to I've no Saudi stuff. That was just one Yeah, I have two Saudi clips. So when he got out of the way All right Let's do it so the big thing the big controversy going on right now is the bill that was signed Is the bill that was signed and its being handled differently by different operations? But let me just explain very very similar to the Iran lawsuits Congress And of course the president has already promised he will veto this bill. Congress unanimously, I believe or almost unanimously signed a bill... No, but closely unanimous. Senate first then to congress they both were all in on this That would allow American citizens and other victim groups

33:10 to sue Saudi Arabia over 9-11. And that, of course, comes on the heels of the release of the 28 pages which spells out that Saudi Arabia was...it can certainly be implicated in a 9-11 attack. Okay, here we go. The U.S House of Representatives has given final approval to letting families of 9-11 victims sue Saudi Arabia 15 of the 19 hijackers that day were Saudis but Riyadh strongly objects to the bill and the White House warns of a veto still Republican Congressman Peter King of New York and others say they are undeterred

33:53 This is the most basic constitutional right. This is an obligation, it's an obligation we in the Congress have to not allow foreign lobbyists or foreign countries or anyone else to intimidate us. Justice must be done and if- We want to make sure that there are no more 9-11s this is one more step which we can take To show foreign governments they cannot step aside They cannot walk away If something is carried out where they're sort of looking the other way you make believe It's not happening The vote came after House members from both parties marked 9-11 on the steps of the Capitol. Now, a couple of things. This is a very poor report when they mention... I'm noticing this more and more. I'm going to start looking at it more. The rule of journalism in kind of high school sense but supposed to be the way you're supposed to do it which is ask and answer the questions who what when where why? And they never do the why

34:50 And so when they talk about the president vetoing the bill, I would like to know why. Very good question. Peter King went on about these guys are just douchebags and he went because he's a Muslim hater and that we might as well take that into account But there's still no why. Because the Congress wants it, the Senate wants it, the Republicans want it, the Democrats want it but Obama doesn't want it! Why? They don't ask the question at all they don't even come close to it. RT gets a little closer with its report about the exact same news item Survivors and victims' families from 9-11 have got a step closer to suing Saudi Arabia. Most of the hijackers were of Saudi descent, The US House of Representatives has now approved the terror sponsors bill which the Senate passed in May although the White House is expected to veto it

35:42 It's difficult to imagine the President signing this legislation. The President of the United States continues to harbor serious concerns that this legislation would make the United States vulnerable in other court systems around the world. Well, the bill is a sore point for Saudi Arabia which has threatened to sell up to 750 billion dollars of US assets... Now that'll be an excuse! 19 hijackers who carried out the 9-11 attacks were of Saudi descent although Riyadh vehemently denies any complicity in the terrorism In July, the US published previously classified elements of the report into the atrocity known as The 28 Pages. They stated that some of the hijackers received support from individuals who may be connected to the Saudi government

CHAPTER 13 / 53 Discussion

U.S. Sovereignty, International Lawsuits and Treaties

Discussions regarding the Saudi lawsuit bill have raised broader questions about U.S. sovereignty and international legal exposure. While the U.S. often ignores international courts, treaties like NAFTA and the WTO have created mechanisms where the country can be held liable. Critics argue that the executive branch's resistance to the 9-11 bill reflects a subservient relationship to Saudi interests rather than a genuine concern for legal precedent.

wto· nafta· sovereignty· international courts· sovereign immunity

36:28 Yeah, that'll be the excuse. I don't think that's the excuse. The excuse was the one that Josh Earnest said... We we don't want to be sued by everyone around the world? Because if you go with the other excuse and at least by the way RT got to the why yeah so we know we have two possible whys here this answer. Just interject it's really amazing to me having grown up in Europe There were a couple of things that we're always seeing as typical American. Television with lots of advertising, McDonald's hamburgers and suing it is a you know that was always seen growing up in the 70s and 80s in Europe oh Americans they always sue everybody take him to court man crazy crazy America is always suing

37:08 Well, there's a fact there. Yeah! So how can we complain about it? Apparently you guys nailed it. How can we complain about it?! That's what we do. Too many advertisements and McDonalds and lawsuits. Okay that sums it up. That's what we do Now so we have at least two whys here one of them is the amount of money... The Saudis have all this cash or not cash they have a bunch of our bonds And they're gonna dump em They're not gonna do that because its going to screw things for them more than any and it would also leave them right now You know, we were very hands-off with Saudi Arabia because they have all these bonds. And they should know how our system works and it's got nothing to do with our government that they're allowing these lawsuits So the other excuse which Josh Earnest brought up Which is if we sue them then they're gonna sue us and we're gonna get screwed now It's probably true that

37:59 There's a lot, I mean first of all what have we done wrong that we're worried about getting our asses sued to smithereens? What? And how does it even work? How does it even work when you have an... You have to go to these international courts. Which we don't buy into, we do not recognize them. Well there you go! That's the kicker here that we don't buy into any of these... Although some very interesting systems out there that we are subscribed to because of WTO, we've subscribed a whole bunch of things and lost a lot of sovereignty one of these days Another one of these promise reports, I'm going to discuss this a little more. So we've lost a lot of sovereignty with that. We've lost a lot of sovereignty with the NAFTA. These are sovereignty sapping treaties and we probably could get sued in some crazy way or other but

38:50 Generally speaking, we ignore this stuff. We just say look we're the big boy in this group of kids and were the adult in this group of kids you can suicide or your not getting anything so that's bull I think this is really just Obama caving to the Saudis It's like he is like the Saudis run this country, not Obama. I mean how long have we put up with this entire United States? Saudis building these mosques all over the place preaching Wahhabism! They're all over the United States they're all over the world We say nothing about it In The Continuing Awakening of Tina the Keeper

9-11 Truthers, Building 7 and Intelligence Oversight

The 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks has renewed interest in alternative theories regarding the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. Parallel discussions regarding government transparency highlight the CIA torture report and the perceived lack of oversight by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Critics point to instances where committee members refused to read classified reports as evidence of a failure in government accountability.

39:29 She said, you know I keep hearing people talking about Building 7. So we watched one of my favorite documentaries which, you know talks about building seven. Which is really the...you know what you want to be interested in on a day like today but also the Saudis and she said at that time I was had my girls and she lived in Boca Raton so they also had the anthrax which confused everybody right after 9-11. She says how it's just concerned about my safety of my family? I had no idea! I'd never even heard of this Well, don't laugh at my girlfriend. No, you know she of course she has the normal first reaction which is incredible sadness you know the anger will come and all that

40:15 Oh yeah, it's sad. It says well how and how come no one? No one ever talks about this there were people in Boston Yes they do but they get shut up stifled or killed yet This is true They all a lot of people talk about I remember right after the whole event There were the 9-eleven truthers were showing up on San Francisco Danny out I got a couple of them mainly because this when this ran into a fan like kind of a fan of mine who was what does very cute girl and And she's talking to me about this, because I wasn't not...I never thought about the WTC7 thing at the beginning. That takes a while you have to develop some process to get there.

40:54 She had they were handing out these discs These like two of these DVDs and you play these DVDs are fantastic. They're very early material a lot of stuff that showed up Early was actually quite good and most and I have a couple of these documentaries in the show notes, you know some of them along there's a British one that I liked a lot because they also take a detour into 7-7 which cannot be ignored in full context of False flag events and they have a lot of this early footage. It's really the firefighters and police officers they have you know decorated Firefighters saying how we heard the explosions going off if you really want to understand a little bit about 9-11 look into That's just a pro tip Well what I look for because that talked about this on the show before is always try to reverse engineer the coverage

41:46 So if somebody, for example when Dianne Feinstein wanted to release the CIA torture report it was interesting to see who said oh she shouldn't do it. She shouldn't do it and that's when Richard Engel showed up The Peabody award winning journalist Yeah he showed up Oh no she should do it All the people saying she shouldn't do were all stooges from one of the intelligence agencies And of the CIA, obviously. So you would watch this parade and go yeah she should do it we need to know! Oh she shouldn't do it its not good for the country It's going to hurt our morale or whatever There is always some crazy excuse Then of course there was a whole report which my favorite story just as a little side step

42:29 When the Republicans got hold of the Senate and they pushed her out of their head job at the Intelligence Committee, put a Republican in whose name eludes me. But he goes in and he all of a sudden says yes I'm aware of this report is under lock and key and I can go look at it and read it but I am not going to! Right. This douchebag actually says he's not going to look at this report, which would maybe help him do his job better but no now he's gonna respect the wishes of the agency well of course which is what good is that you're supposed to be oversight? Do these people know what oversight means? No! Don't ask me these questions You know it was the end you have the answer Anyway so they just annoyed me all right back to

New York City, 9-11 Anniversary Security Alerts

The NYPD increased security in Times Square for the 15th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, deploying bomb-sniffing dogs and radiation detectors. Despite the high alert and visible counterterrorism units, officials stated there was no "credible or specific threat" to the city. Critics argue these measures are primarily designed to generate overtime pay for officers while maintaining a perpetual state of emergency.

nypd· times square· security alert· counterterrorism· state of emergency

43:19 the political situation here. But wait, wait back to since we're talking a little bit about 9-11 and today is the anniversary 15th anniversary of 9 11 yes we should at least do it a little tribute Since we mentioned it, I just want to get this one clip out of the way. This is the GOP's NYC threat over time. We turn now to the 9-11 anniversary this weekend and tonight the new security alert here in New York City The NYPD issuing that alert today beefing up security in ABC's Gio Benitez as in New York's Times Square. David, good evening to you. Security is already ramping up here in Times Square and as we approach that 15th anniversary over the weekend we're gonna be seeing bomb-sniffing dogs, we're gonna see radiation detectors and of course those counterterrorism units now police did remind us today in that alert that terrorists usually like to take advantage of these important anniversaries That is why they are on high alert but make no mistake about it right now they say there's no credible or specific threat

44:21 Now, hold on. Listen to the structure of that. Well let's play it again then. Make no mistake about it! Yeah. There is no threat. Let me just play that in the last... Make no mistake about it! ...up here in Times Square and as we approach that 15th anniversary over the weekend, we're going to be seeing bomb-sniffing dogs We're going to see radiation detectors and of course those counterterrorism units. Now police did remind us today in that alert, that terrorists usually like to take advantage of these important anniversaries That is why they are on high alert but make no mistake about it right now they say there is no credible or specific threat David

45:00 So they make no credible, which means credible comes up in the brain. There's no credible or specific threat. Very good very good. So they make no mistake about it! which is an urgency kind. Yes, of course! Tacked on to a meaningless end which says there's nothing going on this is unbelievable the way they present these stories using those tricks I was actually going to say because I'd written it down as a note that there was much less of this year I just didn't see as much of the oh you know we're off high alert airports high alert I didn't see much about that well they loaded up in New York for overtime obviously so good way to do it sure

45:40 You want to make some extra money, you do this thing. A lot of overtime, bunch of cops all over the place everybody feels good." But the way they present this as though it's like a horrible thing happening and there is not a credible threat? There is nothing going on. Why are we doing anything? Why are we wasting money if there isn't a credible threat? Because the president just signed... resigned the executive order and were still under a state of emergency. We're under threat! Okay. Anyway, back to the election. Morning Joe...who were they talking about? They were talking about Putin now and Morning Joe has a number of actual journalists. I'll put struggling Chuck Scarborough and Mika in there but what's his name Mike Barnicle, number of good people

CHAPTER 16 / 53 Discussion

Morning Joe, Vladimir Putin KGB Background Claims

Panelists on MSNBC's Morning Joe incorrectly identified Vladimir Putin as the former head of the KGB while discussing his perceived influence on U.S. politics. While Putin served as an officer in the KGB and later headed the FSB, he was never the director of the Soviet-era intelligence agency. The error went uncorrected by hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski during the broadcast.

morning joe· vladimir putin· kgb· joe scarborough· mika brzezinski

46:25 And no one stopped and said, wait a minute. That's not true when this was said. But I have a question like to pose to everyone. I'd like to start with Chuck with the question that may be unanswerable but it is this what is going on with our politics? With our culture in this country when the former head of the KGB Vladimir Putin is regarded as a hero by the nominee of the Republican Party for President United States at the same time when someone like poor Gary Johnson gets toasted and roasted, you know for a comment. It was an unfair question you asked him. Yeah let's call it So he was never the head of the KGB Never or the FSB for that matter No, no He was an officer

47:15 I don't understand. Who was at the table again? Any one of them could have said, no it's not true he wasn't a head of the KGB Barnacle Donny Douche The way I would handle it you say you interrupt me and say well first of all he was never they had but what he did work for them so just want to make that clear and then let him go continue to check because its just as bad if you wanna make this argument there is an officer in the KGB maybe a field I don't know what he did Let's be factual people Yeah, but they don't care. No! Well... That got in once I have a theory about some of this and it's kind of depressing. I don't even like to necessarily bring it up. Please do not. Once things get this got into the public consciousness and you can never remove it. And I'm telling you that the Genesis is a lot of it is The Cold War Charlie Wilson's war the movie also helps

Greta Friedman, V-J Day Kiss Photo Staging

Greta Friedman, the woman in the iconic V-J Day kiss photograph from Times Square, has died at age 92. While the image is celebrated as a spontaneous moment of WWII celebration, evidence suggests the photo may have been staged by the photographer. This revelation challenges the long-standing narrative of the "lucky shot" and highlights common practices in historical photojournalism.

greta friedman· v-j day· times square· alfred eisenstaedt· photojournalism

48:05 Yeah, I have just an example of this. I want to play which emphasizes the bullcrap nature of this stuff This is the clip Bull crap never dies could have known. A woman captured in an iconic photograph from the 20th century has died, Greta Friedman only 21 years old when she was kissed by a sailor in New York's Times Square celebrating the end of World War II this photo captured in just seconds the sailor and the nurse were complete strangers at the time but reunited at the same spot 67 years later

48:42 Greta Friedman was 92 years old. Iconic photograph, an iconic photograph Well the bull crap here which is really annoys me this is like the Syrians gassing their own people. Yeah, which was we disproven over and over again But it's okay It's we're gonna just be stuck with that that meme as though it's a fact So you're going to burst my bubble about this event that took place after well I don't know that why you don't know this Okay This was a number of years ago with the photographer is still alive when I think he's dead now but there was a big stink that took place with some feminists saying this was rape ha

49:19 This picture was rape, rape. And so they made a big stink about it and so the photographer came out went public it got all over the news It should have been erased of the bullcrap but didn't because we still believe oh he got a quick shot off this was staged This was a staged photo and if I'm not completely mistaken I could be wrong about this part I think it was taken the day before Even better But no, we still have this nonsense that this was a real photo. It wasn't staged. Photographers by the way stage a lot of shots they move bodies around that little kid on the beach there's no doubt about that. That was a stage. The kid was moved there and he moved his arm a certain way

50:04 These are staged. Photographers do this, that's how they make their money They get a great shot because they stage the shot That's the easiest way to do it You're not catching that shot Are you kidding me? I think i've taken 10 or 20 thousand maybe more pictures How about this Just go to Instagram or the Facebag Every photo everybody makes is staged So...I know how this works now Um, cause I hang out with girls and they're like, Oh could you take a picture of us? Yeah. We'll take a picture of you and I know I might as well take this rant. Oh yeah. I might as well take 50 pictures because the next step is all the girls look at the photo and if they're not all universally satisfied with how that look we do it again and we do it again and we do it again until they're all happy and we have the perfect shot perfectly staged. This is what happens all the time

50:57 But no, not in news journalism of course. Not in photojournalism. Oh it never happened well of course it does so this is another example and this just endless nonsense that we get into the lexicon and that's it I thought about this for a minute or two and I said hey it's all I felt I don't know, let's be honest. You're a busy guy. Again when you think at the end of the day what does it really hurt that this photo was staged where it is more interesting to say that it was a lucky shot and this guy caught it and there the guy is raping her? And okay fine I'll just let it slide and give up!

Matt Lauer, Commander-in-Chief Forum Criticism

NBC's Matt Lauer faced intense criticism from journalists and viewers for his performance moderating the Commander-in-Chief Forum. Critics accused Lauer of failing to fact-check Donald Trump while spending a disproportionate amount of time questioning Hillary Clinton about her email server. The format of the event, which relied on audience questions, limited Lauer's ability to engage in traditional one-on-one interview tactics.

matt lauer· nbc· commander-in-chief forum· donald trump· hillary clinton

51:42 What difference at this point does it make? Exactly. Exactly! It makes no difference Well, there was a lot of anger really And I don't have any clips because it was just that you know, there were discussions and it came up here and there but man Matt Lauer sucked! He did a horrible job. Now this is great. I gotta tell you... I'm glad you got this because uh Yeah alright so Matt Lauer yeah, I know Matt Lauer before he was on The Today Show He actually did some stuff at VH1, which no one saw because no one watched VH1. So we were in the same studio and you know... We met once or twice it wasn't that long but he did some VH1 stuff I'm sure it's out there and uh..we....it was let me see when was it when we

52:32 I think it might have been Desert Storm. We bumped into each other in an airport bar and everyone was watching what was going on, and he's a nice guy but he's just a tool! He's VH1VJ come on!! You know, that's worse than ex-MTV VJ. I mean, VH1 is bad and for some reason everybody expects because this was NBC, this Commander in Chief Forum and Matt Lauer you know the sacrificial lamb no one's everyone journalists like i'm not going to do that screw that i'm not going to be a part of that because you cannot sit there and fact check that's what they want how could he let Donald Trump lie? He lied!

53:14 Matt Lauer should have jumped in and said, you lie! You lie!" That's not...no. The way the- It is true and it sounded like too that's the interesting thing he nailed it And the format of this forum if anyone was going to call him on something it would..it should have come from the audience members who were asking questions in the first place not Matt Lauer He already had his job His job was to set traps bring the tweet stuff on it and also he got fed up with all All of the questions were about Hillary's emails. You didn't ask anything else! No, the question didn't come from Matt Lauer. The questions came from the audience so they're very upset but what they want and I've been following this woman i've been watching her and now... And I have a perfect example

Joy Reid, Clinton Foundation Pay-for-Play Debate

MSNBC host Joy Reid engaged in a heated debate with Trump advisor David Malpass regarding allegations of "pay-for-play" at the Clinton Foundation. Reid cited an Associated Press investigation to argue that no direct link was found between donations and State Department actions. Malpass countered that the sheer volume of meetings with donors suggested a conflict of interest, leading to a contentious exchange over the definition of a press conference.

joy reid· msnbc· clinton foundation· david malpass· associated press

54:00 The people who watch NBC to see pro-Hillary coverage and, you know but more importantly anti Trump coverage make sure that he'll point out his lies. His nutsies crazy... Joy Reid from MSNBC who was brought in as the big hero Here's a Minute 30 example of what people want from their news organizations when anyone from Trump is around. And this is economic advisor David Malpass, I don't know much about him seems little wishy-washy actually and he totally let himself get run over as he just starts to talk and he just brings up a couple things and you are going to hear how

54:45 Hillary supporters want the news to be in America. And whenever we have these, and of course when we have debates they'll be asking for the same thing again it's not the task of the moderator in these formats if you're doing a one-on-one interview yes you can do that but this is just not the format but here's what well here's what the world wants Joy Reid with The Trump Advisor If somebody gives let's say like Donald Trump gave $100,000 dollars to The Clinton Foundation that then goes to buy AIDS drugs in Africa That has a benefit to the recipients of the AIDS drugs in Africa What the person who gave that money, even in the AP's over-reading of these 84 meetings was that maybe Huma Abedin would call them back.

55:22 That is not pay for play, right? Well it was much more than that. We're talking about 10 million dollars contributions. Where is the evidence of that? Gigantic contributions and then subsequently meetings with the Secretary of State. Now that's just not true. That's what the AP found! The Associated Press went through and did this investigation And they found 84 meetings out of 1700 that they said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had with people who were donors. They could find zero of those meetings that came after a solicitation for donation, that came as a result... Go and read the AP story! The AP story has been pilloried because they attempted to find pay-for-play and found nothing. They reported she met with Nobel Prize laureate she would have met with anyway. That Doug Band asked for passport he didn't get. Huma Abedin

56:08 Abedin emailing you back is not you getting something. It's whom Abedin emailing you back so another way, we're gonna end this segment but I'm going to do one more comment from each of you yes. I should have a response the Clinton campaign could have handled this very differently by having the emails come out much earlier. What? The emails are bringing out the information That's not where the Clinton Foundation information came from, sir. Think about what is happening. People are trying to get her schedule... You're conflating, sir! They are also trying to have a news conference as press conferences. Now you're conflating press conferences and emails in the foundation? Wouldn't it be easy for her to stand in front of the public and go like this? Oh my god now that wasn't really a press conference. My head hurts. My head hurts, sir. That was not a- that was a press conference. That is what a press conference is I don't even know what else to say here. Thank you David

57:03 Thank you. Uh, Kurt I'm sorry we are out of time and then the other guy who's a is just laughing laughing the whole time this is what they want they don't want people interviewing asking questions they want people to say where it's at speaking truth to power boom boom yes Outrageous. That woman, by the way is the worst I've ever seen ever. She had some other woman on that was trying to say something and she... The report had just come out the woman who was quoting the report and Joy Reid just kept calling her a liar! Yeah. That's not what happened? That's a lie! Get out of here!" And then they cut her off. I mean she is worse than

Ed Schultz, RT Transition and Media Mercenaries

Former MSNBC host Ed Schultz has transitioned to a role at RT (Russia Today), where he now criticizes the Clinton campaign's strategy of linking Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. Schultz, once a staunch critic of the Republican party, is being characterized as a "media mercenary" for his shift in political alignment. The move highlights the fluid nature of cable news personalities moving between domestic and foreign-funded networks.

ed schultz· rt· vladimir putin· msnbc· shepard smith

57:43 She is worse than Ed Schultz was when he was at MSNBC. And curiously, and I have a clip... Schultz! I never realized that he's just a pro works for anybody now He's an RT working for Putin This is the kind of thing because there was this kerfuffle over Donald Trump going on Ora TV and then finding himself on RT. Which is just anybody would know what happened there, but no one wanted to talk about it they just thought he was selling out to Putin! But listen to Shultz now... Russian! RT's Ed Schultz who appeared on the same program where Larry King's interview with Trump was broadcast says he has no doubt where the message is coming from

58:25 I have an open invitation to anyone in the Clinton campaign to go face-to-face with me, but of course they won't do that because this is manufactured news by the Clinton campaign. They vilify Donald Trump and connect him to Vladimir Putin and that's their strategy to win the election. It gets hurtin' Hillary Clinton which I think is even more than sad. Shepard Smith. Yeah, he's a script reader So he's just reading He's a meat puppet so he's reading away and But every once in awhile something comes in where he gets to throw his two cents worth in When did it become... It was a rampant rabid anti-republican crazy man on MSNBC There are clips you can get of him on YouTube Some of them are hilarious

59:20 Now he hates Hillary because he's working for... This guy is just a mercenary. Who knew? I had no idea! Also, never underestimate the long-term memory of the American population We don't remember that much We have a whatever is all good. So there he is, this Donald Trump Larry King interview that was that to me that was an incredible stretch Oh oh again with Russia! He's on Russia today of course it was all by mistake It was an accident. All this praise for Putin and participation in the Russian TV stations interview has got an awful lot of Republicans. Notice, the Russian TV station's interview instead of saying Larry King I mean how despicable is it that everyone is basically calling one of our premier interviewers in American media a Russian stooge? Pretty much Yeah but if Larry King drinks vodka and wears a hat like a furry hat

Larry King, Aura TV and RT Distribution Deal

Donald Trump's recent interview with Larry King was broadcast on RT, leading to accusations that the candidate was appearing on Russian state television. However, the interview was originally produced for Aura TV, a digital network owned by Carlos Slim, which has a content distribution deal with RT. The Trump campaign claimed they believed the interview was for a podcast and were unaware it would air on the Russian satellite channel.

larry king· rt· aura tv· carlos slim· donald trump

1:00:18 Before you play any more of that clip, let's explain a couple things about what Larry King is doing. Okay. Larry King some time ago has moved... He retired! First he retired and then Piers Morgan came in. And then he retired and he retired again. Right. And he retired but Carlos Slim has this network. Does he still own the New York Times? Carlos Slim? I don't think so Carlos Slim, one of the richest men in the world started I think it's called Aura TV or something like that. It's a network of podcasts is a podcasting network destined to fail and as a

1:00:57 It's online and he hired Larry King to be like the, I would say... To be like Larry King! And it is, I think in the same way Sirius FM, Sirius XM. Howard Stern. So they'd have an anchor guy there that everyone knew so So in the process, because there's really Larry King is probably getting paid a lot of money from Carlos. But I'm sure the thing is the operation not doing very well. So they did it deal with RT to run The Larry King Show because they needed content anyway and had nothing like Larry King on RT. So they put Larry King on our team made him kind of a contractor and he does promotions for them. You see him on the ads and these there is there but this is really something that was not done

1:01:41 It was never designed for RT. It was done as a deal, I'm sorry. It's just some content deal this happens with all the time people by the way American shows air in Russia yes that's true yeah but it still and lot of them are licensed to Russia we have you know they have their versions our shows and game shows like that yeah Russia's got talent Russia's got talent yeah which is a show if i'm not mistaken very short show And so everybody took this completely out of context because the way it was presented to Trump, I'm sure was Larry King's doing. Hey Larry King wants to talk to you? Yeah, Larry King wants to talk to him and talk to him! I'll call in...I don't want to go sit in the studio but I'll call in. He didn't go into the studio which I thought he could have done that but still The idea that we are now calling Larry King a traitor and uh We're not doing that directly

1:02:36 No one says wait a minute. You're implying it, you're implying it. That to me is egregious. All this praise for Putin and participation in the Russian TV stations interview has gotten an awful lot of Republicans upset. And the Democrats sort of in a lather with the ability to go after Republican presidential candidates when the history of US foreign policy has been that it's been the GOP that is toughest on Russia, and now we have a situation where Hillary Clinton thinks she might be able to get the high ground And there really was a miscue on the interview. The Trump campaign makes this suggestion, the campaign spokesman says that what Donald Trump was effectively doing was in touch with an old buddy who wanted an interview and that's Larry King. And Larry Kings does have a podcast but since 2013 he has been working for RT and the Trump campaign thought this interview would go on the podcast not TV across America and around the world.

1:03:32 denigrating podcasts, you douchebags. You always thought it was going to be a podcast. It's not real. It's not political. TV across America and around the world this satellite and cable channel RT Russia today as it is called around the world is in a number of different countries and it is very very close to Putin government. And effectively... Russian! That Russian! ...believed to run against the Kremlin so for Trump to be criticizing the US media the free and most open press in the world on that channel for him to be bad-mouthing two presidents, President George W. Bush for having gone into Iraq and Barack Obama for the way in which he withdrew on that particular broadcast network is the kind of thing that has Republicans and Democrats in both parties shaking their heads and the Trump campaign saying it was an oversight they thought it was a podcast. They didn't know Larry King had been on RT since 2013. No really? Okay even the Trump campaign... It's just a podcast man. Who cares?

1:04:25 A-holes. Podcasts are important, people! We have our own award show we have an award show it's real. We have an award winning show that's right yeah I don't know if you saw the interview or heard it but and I think that something happened... I heard pieces of it well it ended rather abruptly I think someone said, oh boy. You know something this is not good We got to stop that as something's happening because I know you a long time on this immigration issue What are your feelings about Mexican immigrants? What what did you get about what do you feel about this? Don't are you there? I don't know

1:05:13 We did not lose the connection. Wait for it! So something happened, but such is life in the big leagues. Again slamming the podcast format. Such is life... That's exactly what he was thinking oh god I got a podcast and people just hang up on me that's life in the big leagues everybody that's me everything Now final thing I got here from I think for politics Gary Johnson makes his, does his big flap. He makes his Aleppo mistake and for a guy who's been trying to get attention from the media... Oh he got it! I think i got a great clip that or a series of clips that came out on that. I think I saved this one. Is there a Gary Johnson thing on this list?

CHAPTER 22 / 53 Discussion

Gary Johnson, Aleppo Gaffe and Media Fallout

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson suffered a major political setback after asking "What is Aleppo?" during an MSNBC interview. The gaffe was widely mocked by media outlets, including CNN's Jake Tapper, who used the moment to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Syria. Ironically, The New York Times also struggled with the facts, issuing multiple corrections regarding Aleppo's status as a capital city and its relation to ISIS.

gary johnson· aleppo· syria· jake tapper· new york times

1:06:06 DBS, dipshits in Congress. I'm reading the names Clinton Chelsea. Oh no Jones Clip No, sorry. I see it now let me just double check and no you don't seem to have it okay? No problem Poor guy although really he should be happy because this attention You know using the Trump methodology is good Yeah, yeah, so he showed up everywhere. I have two clips did my two clips The first one is Jake Tapper, who didn't have Gary Johnson on the show but he did a really interesting little bit here which starts with a recap of the fracadillo of what is Aleppo clip. What would you do if you were elected about Aleppo? About Aleppo And what is Aleppo You're kidding No Aleppo was in Syria It's the

1:07:06 It's the epicenter of the refugee crisis. Okay, got it. Got it That was governor Gary Johnson doing his best impression of a deer in headlights with his reaction to a perfectly reasonable question about the crisis in Aleppo so Given that there are children in Aleppo who have known nothing but war and their entire lives maybe a presidential nominee should know something about the epicenter of the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world right now So here's a little catch up. Aleppo is Syria's largest city, it's under constant bombardment for most of this decade by Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad forces now joined by some war planes brought to you by Vladimir Putin Here's the resident of Aleppo Governor Johnson his name is Omran Daknish he's a little boy who survived a bomb

1:07:51 and became a symbol of the suffering there. His brother was killed, this show brought you their story three weeks ago if you went online you really couldn't miss his image That was pretty low. It was bad. Russia today had a nice piece on this and they, uh, but they did one of those things which I bitch about constantly. They didn't words on the screen where we're doing a bunch of words on the screen. They showed that The New York times also screwed up the Aleppo question by saying it was worthy

1:08:29 the center of activity for ISIS, and then they came back with a correction in another edition of the paper saying no Raqqa is the center of ISIS and Aleppo's the capital. And then they had to come back with their third direction. Yeah, they got it retracted. Damascus is the capital Syria and Aleppo was just a big city so this is, I don't know, just dumb? Well not quite as dumb as Gary Johnson showing up on my beat for 15 minutes. They put him on for 15 minutes, pretty boring interview. This is rattled him didn't they just go after him and joy Behar being the worst? Yeah here it is this is a Gary Johnson on The View just a little piece because you know there was a lot going on in this but nothing really spectacular I like what Joy did it was funny for our show

CHAPTER 23 / 53 Discussion

Gary Johnson, The View Appearance and Syria Policy

Gary Johnson appeared on The View to clarify his foreign policy stance following his Aleppo gaffe. He argued that the U.S. must work with Russia to resolve the Syrian conflict and criticized the Obama administration for pursuing regime change in Libya and Syria. During the segment, host Joy Behar labeled his lack of knowledge on Aleppo as a "disqualifying statement," while Johnson maintained that his non-interventionist approach is the only way to end the wars.

gary johnson· the view· joy behar· syria· regime change

1:09:20 I have to, you know you heard what i said maybe in the beginning of the show. I don't...I know what Aleppo was and I should not be any smarter than you because your running for president having said that im sure Trump doesn't know what Aleppo is either I think it's a disqualifying statement, frankly. And fair enough and fair enough. Yeah. Let me ask you something because... So will you get out of the brace now? No! Because one of the things that you just said is so what do you what's your plan to get us out because you know Obama came in he didn't put us in the wars we had two wars going when he got here Oh really?! He didn't put us into Syria

1:10:00 Hmm, okay. So what's your plan to get us out of there? Well talking about Syria and Libya We went in we supported regime change and that wasn't Obama That was Obama and Hillary and this was not intentional not intentional but how do you get us out well Because we got other wars that were... Yeah, and to get out of Syria that has to be joining hands with Russia diplomatically to make this happen. And that isn't to say Obama isn't pursuing that currently but that is the key in my opinion to resolving Syria and of course we have a situation right now where Syria and United States may come to actual military conflict in this area so very complex

1:10:41 Yeah, okay. He actually, he did brush up on Syria and he does know a lot of the issues particularly Turkey which we will maybe talk about later on in this show. But you know, he goes out and he's got all this attention and he doesn't have a thing! You need like a zinger or something that is going to BAM! That is going to make people remember oh yeah Gary Johnson

David Brooks, Commander-in-Chief Forum Reaction

New York Times columnist David Brooks expressed profound disappointment on the PBS NewsHour regarding the performance of both candidates at the Commander-in-Chief Forum. Brooks specifically criticized Donald Trump's suggestion that the U.S. should have "taken the oil" in Iraq, labeling the idea as "moral idiocy" and a form of imperialism. He argued that such rhetoric ruins American credibility on the global stage.

david brooks· pbs newshour· donald trump· iraq oil· imperialism

1:16:25 Collapse in New York. Uh-huh she's falling backwards John no I didn't see that fainting backwards like her knees are buckling and she's fainting backwards It's not sure how she cracked her head if that's true, I still think it's the plane wreck but yeah Bad man doesn't death this woman wendeling theory can't you she needs to take a rest? Just who's already resting too much hmm geez Now, let's I got a couple of things here. You just said we did discuss that earlier that supposedly kind of a debate whatever it was the chief executive forum. I had to go to commander in chief Yeah yeah no then yeah whatever it was called with Matt Lauer It was called bad juniorism is what this call because now it's stupid. Did you? I told you the guy was coked up but I told you that you didn't look for me did ya

1:17:17 The coked up thing came out in the front page of the National Enquirer. Well, I think...but that was an old story wasn't it? I don't know. I thought it was new. Oh could well maybe they had some story that he someone's oh I sold coke to Matt Lauer and I thought it was a couple months ago Okay well I don't remember it until I saw just on Twitter Yeah You know so what let's see what my friend David Brooks seems to be completely befuddled by everything has to say about that little debate and here is the... Oops sorry yeah I have two clips of him just baffled by everything. And i don't know why they pay him. And he looks so dumb when he looks baffled.

1:18:00 Yeah, and here's Brooks on debate PBS. Today it's together at the same place this week but not at the same time that this televised forum that NBC sponsored what did you make of it? Of their performance and what they had to say I thought they both lost. I thought America lost humanity lost a little piece of my soul died. That bad! I thought she was evasive and cross and looked like she was imperious angry to be challenged. She had plenty of information, but not a lot of relatability and not a lot of humanity and not a lot of vision for foreign policy He if anything was little worse he is as he has want to do said about six ridiculous things the admiration for Putin is long-standing But to me the thing that really made me think was his claim that in Iraq we should have left a core people to take the oil

1:18:54 Now that is, first of all it's impractical but it's also moral idiocy. I mean maybe you're selfish and you think oh I got some oil or guns so I should take it But if you go through any realm of education which we try to do with people You learn that's called imperialism, that's called plunder It's morally wrong. It ruins your credibility the idea that a big country is going to go out and send troops into some country and take their resources And then the rest of world is gonna somehow trust us it's just ridiculous notion, and so he says things that are just plainly ridiculous But man, so that's why I was impressed

1:19:31 Wow, wow. That's crazy to think that would happen! Yeah no one ever did that. Why would you go in and take their oil? In fact the entire left used to have stickers knowing this was going on then this is around Berkeley they're in windows everywhere that said No Blood for Oil yeah Get out of Iraq, no blood for oil. The other sticker was justice not vengeance. Justice is not vengeance, no blood for oil so now he's stunned? Flabbergasted, I believe. Disappointed! Sad! He's sad and he lost some of his soul. So now they ask him a simple question... And they're paying him to answer the follow-up question that is going to come up. Okay? He is getting paid serious money to come on the show day after day which The New York Times was not supposed to do according to friends of mine who work there Let a guy do this as much as he does but he doesn't

CHAPTER 27 / 53 Discussion

Political Polls, Media Advertising Revenue Strategy

Analysts suggest that the tightening of political polls between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is a deliberate strategy by media organizations to drive advertising revenue. By making the race appear closer than it may actually be, networks can pressure campaigns to spend more on television spots. Critics argue that pundits like David Brooks are paid to provide narratives that obscure these underlying financial motivations.

political polls· advertising revenue· hillary clinton· donald trump· media manipulation

1:20:27 And this is, they're asking the question Brooks on how why are the polls tightening up? Why are they tightening up? Oh so you mean the race is getting closer. The bands are narrowing Trump is gaining. What's going on? What about I mean in this race the polls have tightened what do you attribute that to I don't know. After the stock market drops 300 points, then the stock market analysts invent some story to go along with that. Oh there was a correction and so what we tend to do in The Polls Titan is we invent this story to go back for it. Okay John why don't you explain why Why The Polls Titan? Why did they tighten

1:21:05 Well, you're going to explain it. We know why! My explanation for everything regarding the polls is that it's bullshit The whole thing is designed to get people to advertise more so you tighten the polls up and make it look like there's a real race we have no idea what's going on and those polls aren't helping And, uh... You think he's gonna come up and say well the main reason for the polls tightening is because his peers at CBS is not getting enough advertising from the Hillary camp. So they're going to make it look like she's losing? I would expect that it shows, it certainly will show Donald being ahead because you're gonna have to keep it that way to get the money out of Hillary because she's not going to spend any money if she doesn't have too. Yeah we want to get money so we need to tighten up the poll results that's how it works and maybe we can squeeze some out of the Republicans and Trump as well yeah That would be my

1:21:57 But to answer how you set it up, Brooks is paid not to disclose that obviously. So he is being paid not to disclose the truth about these things. He may not know but... It's ridiculous that he's on that show with his attitude I picked up a term which Maybe I just missed it, I'd never heard of these guys but now it's coming into play. So we're watching very closely what is happening in Syria now with this... so the Syrian deal or the deal between Lavrov and Kerry consists mainly of two elements. I went through whatever is published you know there's not a lot published one is they're not calling it a No-Fly Zone but it's a No-Fly Zone that's the first thing

CHAPTER 28 / 53 Discussion

Army of Conquest, Syrian Rebel Group Funding

The "Army of Conquest" has emerged as a significant rebel coalition in Syria, reportedly receiving funding and equipment from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey. Senator John McCain questioned defense officials about the group, which includes the Al-Nusra Front (an Al-Qaeda affiliate). Reports from RT indicate that Turkey continues to provide daily supplies and weapons to these groups across the border, complicating international efforts to stabilize the region.

army of conquest· al-nusra front· john mccain· saudi arabia· turkey

1:22:43 And the second one is supported by all these United Nations Security Council resolutions, which is free and fair elections. So that it's the same thing except now we're adding a no-fly zone and we'll see where that ends But I heard McCain, he was grilling some of the chiefs, the joint chiefs and also Ash Carter the Secretary of Defense. And he came up with a name... He was talking about all these groups who are being supported and he came up with a name not really mentioning all the different pieces of it. I don't know if i'd heard this before maybe but it just struck me as a name we got to keep our eye on from now moving forward. Now there is success on a part of an outfit called

1:23:26 army of conquest which is funded and trained and equipped generally mostly by Saudi Arabia, Qatar And perhaps others. The perhaps others is Turkey Which I guess he can't say since we don't want it there a NATO ally who can do that? Mostly by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Perhaps others they are succeeding And they have if there's battlefield games, they are achieving them. Are you do have any does the United States have any relationship with that outfit? Because they are fighting against Bashar Assad as well as ISIS. I get back to you on the answer that question because who has that contact is something that we'd have to discuss separately. That's great because that must be the CIA who has that contact

1:24:20 Don't you think? He's basically saying, I don't know who is running that. His group would be the DIA... A DIA could be... Yeah if it was his, yeah it would be DIA, it's not... That means he could ask around and see if there's a DIA but if it's CIA they're just not gonna get anything. It sounds more like a CIA thing to me. Well, I think that's why he said well, I don't know who has that contact, please. Right with the other agency. Please. So this army of conquest It is an aggregate name for a bunch of bad dudes, including Al-Nusra. Those guys are managing to rebrand it's unbelievable. Yes and I think... Al-Nusra is al Qaeda? Yes exactly And we always get in bed with these guys! That's ridiculous We're so stupid Well now of course we know that its us but also Qatar

1:25:09 It's the Saudis and it's Turkey, even though John McCain wouldn't say that. And I believe this was a Russia Today report because they're having none of this. They do not like this whole Al-Nusra Front which I think you're right is going to...it may become the Army Of Conquest as their permanent rebranding and these are the same guys who change uniforms to look like FSA so they wouldn't get killed or wouldn't be recognized when Turkey came in and... Well not FSA some... No, no, no! FSA? Yeah, they changed into FSA uniforms. Oh the Free Syrian Army. Free Syrian Army yeah. RT report. Terror group Al-Nusra operating in Syria is getting daily supplies from Turkey that's according to the Russian General Staff. The flow of trucks carrying weapons and ammunition from Turkey continues with border crossings reported on a daily basis

1:26:01 How is Turkey supplying the terrorists? how many weapons and command bunkers it had destroyed. As long as there's that constant flow of weapons, any sort of airstrikes are effectively a futile exercise." There you go! So... That is the real problem now the Army Of Conquest

Chelsea Clinton, The View Interview and Trust

Chelsea Clinton appeared on The View to defend her mother's trustworthiness, citing Hillary's role as a grandmother as the ultimate proof of her character. Critics described Chelsea's delivery as "creepy" and "mind-controlled," noting she adopted her mother's specific vocal cadences. The interview was viewed as part of a broader media effort, including a CNN "puff piece," to humanize the candidate amidst falling poll numbers.

chelsea clinton· the view· hillary clinton· trust· campaign puff piece

1:26:38 The new the new guys to look at I like the name. I think it's a good name It's a better name than and it's in English yes, better than al-Nusra for sure Yeah, Nusra sounds like a comedy act And now Al Nusra and the deplorables Yes something like that all right well Chelsea when you talked about the view which is your beat? I don't I'm surprised you blew this one Chelsea was on I believe listening to Chelsea in her speech she's picked up Hillary's cadences and She seems to me Chelsea Clinton seems to be like a step for wife. I think she's something's wrong with us is very mind-controlled I think she's my old friend, but they keep her drugged up or something because when she talks She talks like this like with no soul and kind of curious And so here she is talking about

1:27:31 Why, you know... She doesn't understand why people criticize her mom. And it doesn't make sense to her and well let's play this Chelsea on The View Today on The View Chelsea Clinton asked why many voters see her mother as untrustworthy As a daughter how do you feel when you hear that? Well it doesn't make sense to me God forbid anything were to happen to Mark and me my mother would take care of my children I mean there is no greater I think she's on an E and love man. She's the way it ends, and I have a night so you can play it but the way it ends is love and then she says that

1:28:16 with this kind of breathless, slow motion manner. It's just like creepy! It's totally creepy! What does it make sense to me? God forbid anything were to happen to Mark and me my mother would take care of my children I mean there is no greater vote of trust and faith and love than that. Love... You stepped on it Oh I did not! you did! I want people hear the THAT What does it make sense to me? God forbid anything were to happen to Mark and me, my mother would take care of my children. I mean there's no greater vote of trust and faith in love than that! Now... It's E man, it's E. It sounds like E now that you mention it. I've seen people talk like that because they're wasted. The thing is the question was what do you think

1:29:12 your mom getting badgered by all these, you know these bad actors and mean people. And she says well my mom's gonna take care of the kids if heaven forbid anything happens to me and my husband or whatever his name was because she'll take care of the kids but there is no better evidence of trust than that. The audience was stepping on her. I'm thinking this isn't answering the question It's like, what do you think? How do you feel about your mom being badgered by these people. Not what you hope that if something happens to you your mom is going to take care of the kids and not beat them up or whatever

1:29:52 because you trust her. It's just like completely the wrong answer to the question that wasn't asked, it's unbelievable in a way with this." It's kind of the same type of answer she gave well it was also the piece that's near the CNN puff piece which was unfinished business The Essential Hillary Clinton they did one about Trump as well and she was in all time talking about how mom and even listening to her I'm like Hillary actually sounds like a nice mom. She's like, she cares what she made I'm sure she did a nice mom but that's all she can think about. She's...I don't think Chelsea was prepared to think about anything else that's her mission. Her mission is to make... I see a lot of family pics. You haven't seen the picture of Chelsea and Webster Hubble?

Bill Clinton, Coal People Remark in West Virginia

Bill Clinton drew criticism for referring to residents of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky as "the coal people" during a campaign appearance. He noted that while these voters supported him in the past, they have turned against the current Democratic administration. The remark was highlighted as a condescending characterization of a demographic that feels abandoned by the party's energy policies.

bill clinton· west virginia· coal people· eastern kentucky· campaign gaffe

1:30:38 That's a family pic. Very funny, yeah. Now there was a family... I have one little just quickie. Okay go. Bill Clinton who is off the rails and you know it's one thing to say half of Donald Trump supporters are... This is what I was gonna do this is exactly the same bit I was going to do but I want to hear how you handle it? Why don't you do it? No no Well it wasn't a bit, I was just-I almost didn't want to play the clip but then you brought in Chelsea and like let's listen to Bill. He sang dumb stuff too! We all know how her opponent has done real well down in

1:31:15 West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Did he sniff? Yeah, oh yeah interesting you bring that up He doesn't look like he has a cold And I'm pretty sure Bill doesn't do the powder anymore because he would die But yeah it was kind of done real well down in That's pretty funny our opponents done real well down in West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky Because the coal people don't like any of us anymore. They all voted for me! I won twice and they did well, and they blame the president when the sun doesn't come up in the morning now." He refers to West Virginians as The Coal People

1:31:59 Like they're like their mole people the cold okay, you get borderline clip of the day again. Well it's the first What I was gonna talk to and I noticed I don't have a clip but what I was gonna discuss But they Clinton Foundation released a photo just I guess to humiliate Trump ever Trump palling around on the golf course somewhere with Bill and they both, Bill and Trump have girls on their arms. Trump has got some Playboy bunny. She's got a Playboy bunny at least she got the logo on her chest And she said she's a pretty girl but bill has got some knockout brunette and he's got his arm around her

CHAPTER 31 / 53 Discussion

Clinton Library, Trump and Clinton Historical Photos

The Clinton Library released historical photographs showing Donald Trump and Bill Clinton socializing together on a golf course with several women. While the release was intended to highlight Trump's past "chummy" relationship with the man he now calls a predator, some observers believe the photos backfire by reinforcing Bill Clinton's own image as a womanizer. ABC News featured the photos during a segment on the candidates' health records.

clinton library· donald trump· bill clinton· john carl· abc news

1:32:43 Now I'm thinking, and this is played up. I think maybe this in the ABC report. Let's play this report. This is ABC. This is the odd Trump piece that has got all kinds of mixed messages. Again, ABC believed to be pro-Trump. They sound anti-Trump but there are a lot of pro-Trump subconscious messaging going on. He said he was unsure. Do you accept that President Obama was born in the United States is not Muslim. Now he refuses to discuss the issue at all. I told you, I don't talk about it anymore and amidst the vitriolic attacks between Trump and Clinton The Clinton library has released new photos from a much chummier time Trump palling around with the man He now calls a predator

1:33:29 Alright, John Carl with us live again tonight and John you'll remember earlier this week I sat down with Donald Trump. We talked about his health and Hillary Clinton's health and we asked him if he'd release more here's what he said You're 70, she's 68. Do you think the American people deserve to know more about both of you? Sure I do but i would love to give specifics as far as I'm concerned and if she wants to do it I'll do it 100 percent. What happens first? I might do that in fact now that you ask I think I will do that. Alright John did the political team check back in with a Trump campaign tonight We asked directly if they were going to release or when they were gonna release those full health records. No word yet that Trump is doing an interview on the Dr. Oz Health Show and promising to reveal his personal health regimen, obviously David not the same thing all right

1:34:17 John Carl with us again tonight. John, thanks. Wow wow wow this is a little plug in there for Dr. Oz yeah it's maybe ABC sure airs on ABC Affiliate could be makes sense so they're gonna put plug that they showed the photo that I described which is with the two guys the to do douchebags and the two chicks yeah with Clinton with a smile on his face has arm around this babe And I just thought it was a negative. It showed nothing about Trump, it was the younger picture of him you don't know what the deal was but it reinforced the notion that Bill is a douchebag

1:34:54 Yeah, and a womanizer for some reason as opposed to Trump. It didn't give you that impression Why would they bring that out? Why would the why would the foundation release? That's the question I wonder Because the picture is not a flattering picture for either of the two guys but especially bill hmm Who has an image problem so I have no idea whether brought it out or y ABC showed it that's very odd Yeah, there's something going on very odd The other shoe dropped over in Euro lands. You don't mind me? You mean the other shoes, so Hillary has no shoes? No shoes for her! This is regarding the tax situation with Apple. Yes. There's a backdrop to this which had now just been released in the past week. The final European ATA directive which stands for anti-tax avoidance directive

CHAPTER 32 / 53 Discussion

European Union, Apple Tax Ruling and Netherlands

The European Union has implemented a new Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD) that significantly impacts Apple's tax strategy in Europe. While Apple previously utilized a 5% tax rate on royalties in the Netherlands, the new directive mandates a 10% across-the-board tax on interest and royalties. This move effectively eliminates the competitive tax advantage the Netherlands offered to multinational corporations.

apple· european union· tax avoidance· netherlands· ireland

1:35:47 And as you recall, we were talking about the differences in specific types of taxation which Apple takes advantage of. Not so much Ireland but the Netherlands and I was mistaken. I thought it was zero tax on royalties on creative royalties and R&D royalties turns out its 5% So I was wrong about that. And so Apple... I'm sorry? It's a pittance. And so what Apple does is, you know they say okay the intellectual property that we have uh we have royalties over that which come from the sales of our products so that portion which you can almost make up yourself if they spend a lot on R&D that is going to be under this five percent tax ruling um

1:36:34 Now in the new directive, the anti-tax avoidance directive. This is discussed specifically and specifically in regards to the Netherlands as there's a specific clause in here that says all countries now must adhere to a new across-the-board tax for royalties interest so if you pay interest or if you receive interest There will also be its taxation on that across the board, including the Netherlands will now be 10% which is still a pittance but it completely ruins the Netherlands advantage. They had this tremendous advantage for all these royalties and now that is just overnight going away and then they don't quite know yet but they're screwed now because that doesn't matter you can be in the Netherlands or anywhere you want

1:37:21 Yeah, all right. So this was all set up I mean this is you know it's obvious what was going on here we'll get Apple will make some noise about it and then oh there it is here's the new anti-tax avoidance directive nice setup. Does anything to do with a relationship to Russia? Well I think it has to do with the no No, I don't think so. Okay now now i think it's just in general look the people who are running this and as far as i know has been women who run the anti-competition office... there was one guy i'm sorry the previous there was a guy there briefly you know i think they're just insane! They're just power hungry they do whatever they can do yeah you don't really have a lot of power in the european parliament or you know in in the whole system unless you're at one of these particular

Vladimir Putin, Limo Driver Fatal Accident

Vladimir Putin's favorite official driver was killed in a head-on collision in Moscow when a Mercedes crossed a lane barrier and struck the presidential BMW. Video footage of the incident has sparked conspiracy theories, with some suggesting the crash appeared too precise to be an accident, potentially involving remote control. The driver was a veteran with over 40 years of experience in the Russian government's transport service.

vladimir putin· moscow· car accident· mercedes· remote control

1:38:11 posts. Right, you have over too much power at that point? I think there was a message to Vladimir Putin specifically as his favorite limo driver who drives his armored vehicle was killed in an accident. Sounds like Mike Morrell he says oh no we should be killing Russians don't brag about it or just killin' Maybe it's a message to Vladimir. I don't know well was a strange if you saw the tape, but yeah It's very odd. I saw it yes Very odd these guys were barreling along in one of the SUVs that I guess they drive about Putin around and insecure situations

1:38:52 And just as he, some car I guess a Mercedes jumped the barrier or jumped the lane into the oncoming traffic right at the moment that car was coming by almost as though it was remote controlled. It wasn't like you know the guy crossed the lanes and staggering all over the place no it's like instant if anyone remembers to be first episode I think is the first episode maybe in the second but there's the first episode of Rubicon where the guy goes into the train and then the train crosses over and smashes head on into the other train. It was just like that, it was very fishy." Yes! And then Mike Morrell of course is helping things by making these sorts of comments... Yeah I was gonna play the clip but he only says we should kill Russians and he's talking about what he wants to do but to Bashar al-Assad so doesn't really count towards doing this to Vladimir Putin but I think you could add in there

CHAPTER 34 / 53 Discussion

Global Oil Markets, Algiers Meeting and Volatility

Oil traders remain skeptical of a potential production freeze agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran following an upcoming meeting in Algiers. Analysts from Citigroup suggest that the constant rumors of meetings are used to manipulate market volatility rather than effect fundamental changes in supply and demand. Meanwhile, French company Total Oil has acquired a Texas shale firm, signaling the continued struggle of U.S. shale to compete with low global prices.

oil prices· saudi arabia· iran· citigroup· algiers meeting

1:39:51 You could add that. Yeah, well maybe with a little editing... yeah um oh okay I got one here now were you in uh did you at all discuss the oil markets what's happening now? Uh with Horowitz because of course we have oil prices fluctuating not to any new extent okay So, oil prices have been going up and down. Saudi Arabia says we're not gonna cut production. Iran is saying oh we're full-blown or pumping it out. Full steam ahead! And I believe one of the Texas shale oil companies was just acquired by French by Total Oil

1:40:30 Because it's out of business. The shale oil cannot compete with... No, of course not at that price. Right? So this is a in a way, of course an indirect attack on the United States or oil and gas industry but I caught this on CNBC Europe. And if you want to know why these things happen well actually he'll just... This is a trader. This is an oil trader from Citi Group uh and he made it very clear. I'm going to join the rest of the market in remaining extremely skeptical that we're going to see anything actually, in terms of change to fundamental S&D where they're going to see any barrels actually taken off the market as a result of the Algiers meeting this agreement is totally devoid of details It's not a coincidence that both countries are producing basically record levels right now so a freeze wouldn't be that big a stretch but I think given how well

1:41:22 the oil price response to every single murmur or rumor about a looming agreement, why not go ahead and have another meeting? It works very well. Have another meeting with just another volatility up and down we can make some money that's right hey have another meeting it's great! I think we haven't discussed that possibility of just trading you know he's like Let's get some futures, have a meeting and say we're going to cut production. Let the price go up." It's that easy! Then sell short and then say it's not going out but we're gonna pump more. And they'd go up and down you can make all your money in hell with the oil. You just make your money on the market with things going up and down and up and down while you are controlling it. Just scalping the ups and downs is easy

CHAPTER 35 / 53 Discussion

Mike Pence, Leadership Comparison of Putin and Obama

Republican Vice Presidential nominee Mike Pence stated that Vladimir Putin has been a "stronger leader" in Russia than Barack Obama has been in the United States. Speaking with CNN's Dana Bash, Pence echoed Donald Trump's previous praise for the Russian president's leadership style. Hillary Clinton's campaign responded by calling the remarks "scary" and unpatriotic.

mike pence· vladimir putin· barack obama· dana bash· cnn

1:42:05 Here is—this is the Trump-Putin-Pence scary clip from Democracy Now!, because it's just—they're beside themselves figuring out what the hell is going on. Donald Trump's campaign has doubled down on the Republican presidential candidate support for Vladimir Putin. On Thursday, Trump's running mate Governor Mike Pence echoed Trump's comment that the Russian president is doing a better job than his counterpart President Barack Obama. Pence was speaking with CNN's Dana Bash. I think it's inarguable that Vladimir Putin has been a stronger leader in his country than Barack Obama has been in this country. And that is going to change the day Donald Trump becomes president of the United States of America. Pence's comments follow similar remarks made by Trump at a national security forum on Wednesday night, speaking from North Carolina Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called those remarks scary

1:43:01 Oh, scary. Scary! Scary, scary... Do you have anything on the American Indians and the pipelines? Yeah. Okay, and I want to mention that I did make the claim that they were putting the pipeline into the water. You said they weren't... And I said, I'm not sure maybe it was wrong. Yes, I know I'm wrong now yes this is actually I have to say The Network News has finally picked it up They all have short stories PBS did a long piece on And it's getting to be now, it's national news. Even though it began in April, that's not national news and they answered this question I thought was pretty interesting. This is the pipeline on PBS with the guy there. They actually sent somebody there one of the reporters for The NewsHour and he answered a question from Desjardins, the little reporter. Yeah.

CHAPTER 36 / 53 Discussion

Dakota Access Pipeline, Standing Rock Sioux Protest

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, citing threats to their drinking water and the destruction of sacred burial grounds. While the pipeline does not cross tribal lands, it passes underneath the Missouri River nearby. The Army Corps of Engineers is under fire for granting permits without sufficient tribal consultation, leading the governor of North Dakota to call in the National Guard.

dakota access pipeline· standing rock sioux· army corps of engineers· bakken oil· north dakota

1:43:59 I looked into this too much, but there is a donor or regular donor on the show... On the list of... Oh, the Gates Foundation. You had all these big lists at the beginning of the show of the Desjardins slash something investment firm. Oh her parents are donors? I'm wondering because it's an unusual name and she's an unusual reporter She's not normal, she's not the normal type of person you'd see on TV. That that's a very kind way of saying it Yeah well she seems sweet but I don't think she is that good But...she asking questions about this guy who is out there She has great personality

1:44:42 William, specifically what is the tribe's complaint? The principal argument that the Standing Rock Tribe has is that the construction of this pipeline is going to do one it's going to destroy a lot of very very important cultural sites to them. Burial grounds historic meeting places for their people And number two, that the pipeline which although it is not going to go through tribal lands. It is just a short distance away the pipeline will go underneath the river and many people are concerned that if a pipeline that's carrying hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil goes underneath the river

1:45:17 that there could be some sort of a rupture and if that happens, that might spill oil into their primary source of drinking water. And so that's been the main concern—that the construction of the pipeline is going to destroy lands that are very important to them and that the potential for contamination is enormous." This would be a very significant pipeline carrying about half of current Bakken oil production How's the industry responding? The company that's building the pipeline has argued all along that they followed all the rules. They filled out the right permits, they got all the right permissions, they did the proper surveys and that they have broken no laws whatsoever in fact that's not really been the allegation thus far. The tribe's main concern has been with the Army Corps of Engineers who granted one of the main permits for the pipeline to go in

1:46:01 And the Corps says too that they did all the proper consultations. But the oil company argues also, that they think this is an important economic engine for the area They say there will be jobs in construction of the pipeline Jobs in maintaining the pipeline and if they say look we still live in an oil-based society If oil needs to get from the Bakken Oil Fields to market This pipeline is the delivery device for that The Army Corps of Engineers which has been Do you ride it ever since the Katrina? Something to do with this and that's a government operation. I don't understand, this is a big hassle for everybody. I don't understand why they can't reroute the thing." Well, I have a number of emails from producers who live in the area and some have actually worked on some things as I'm keeping them anonymous.

1:46:53 In my work, I surveyed land within miles of the protests north of the Cannonball River in addition to thousands of acres of land throughout the western portion North Dakota. From experience, I can say that identifying burial Cairns, C-A-I-R-N-S? Cairns. Burial Cairns and stone effigies two types of sites that Standing Rock Sioux say have been destroyed can be a subjective process Tribal consultation is a crucial part of section one of the Section 106 process we just heard about that because they ultimately have the final say over what is sacred and what is not if a tribe member says that a stone alignment is a buffalo effigy as a white man from Pennsylvania I have no standing to dispute them

CHAPTER 37 / 53 Discussion

Tribal Consultation, Archaeological Surveys in North Dakota

Archaeological surveyors in North Dakota describe the subjective nature of identifying sacred sites like burial cairns and stone effigies. Under the Section 106 process, tribal consultation is required because only tribe members have the standing to determine what is sacred. Experts suggest that the destruction of sites during pipeline construction likely resulted from a lack of proper consultation rather than intentional malice by the oil companies.

1:46:01 And the Corps says too that they did all the proper consultations. But the oil company argues also, that they think this is an important economic engine for the area They say there will be jobs in construction of the pipeline Jobs in maintaining the pipeline and if they say look we still live in an oil-based society If oil needs to get from the Bakken Oil Fields to market This pipeline is the delivery device for that The Army Corps of Engineers which has been Do you ride it ever since the Katrina?

1:46:53 In my work, I surveyed land within miles of the protests north of the Cannonball River in addition to thousands of acres of land throughout the western portion North Dakota.

1:47:33 There were days where myself and my co-workers would spend hours in a field mapping arrangements of stones to see if anything aligned to make a stone circle, or cairn, or other recognizable shapes. Some were easy to identify others much less so." Again I have no standing to dispute the claims being made by the Standing Rock Sioux but i think it is highly unlikely that the destroyed sites were purposely ignored The lack of proper tribal consultation is a much more probable cause Now the question is why? And are they being riled up? What is, what is... There's a lot of just the anti-oil thing. Although I wouldn't really want to be anywhere near a pipeline with Bakken crude in it that's the stuff that blows up the tank cars It's got a lot of volatiles and its very light

1:48:23 and explosive. And we've had several derailments up in Candanavia, and... Yeah if just one of these things cut loose and burst into flame it would be a real nightmare Now has the president I believe the president said please he requested a voluntary pause while things are being worked out? Yes yeah yeah well i think that if wasn't the president was the government And now they've had declared a National Guard has to come in according to the governor of North Dakota called the National Guard to come in and make sure that the laws are being enforced. I don't know whose side he's on, it doesn't seem like he's on... To be honest about it doesn't seem like he's on the Indian side. He doesn't look like the type

1:49:12 It's like when you see a guy like, uh... Jack Daniels. Fire- You got any fire water? I'm gonna send you this link man. Yeah, just want you to take a look at this You see the link in Skype? I just want you to take a look at that Hillary video. It's 20 seconds, you gotta see it. Okay hang on... Yeah, yeah but you haven't lived until you've seen that! This is... I haven't lived until I've seen Hilary fall over Well seriously... I'm gonna see a lot of that. Hillary being dragged to van and this is the one I saw Oh maybe it is. I didn't see this she fell over Well look how she's falling her knees are buckling and she's falling backwards I just put it in the chat room as well Hang on take a look Yeah this is the one I saw Okay well look she's buckling backwards

CHAPTER 38 / 53 Discussion

Admiral James Lyons, Benghazi Kidnapping Theory

Retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons claims that the 2012 attack in Benghazi was a kidnapping operation gone wrong. Lyons suggests the plan was to capture Ambassador Chris Stevens and exchange him for the "Blind Sheikh" as an "October Surprise" to boost President Obama's re-election. He cites a confidential FBI informant as the source of this theory, which contradicts the official narrative regarding the spontaneous nature of the attack.

james lyons· benghazi· chris stevens· blind sheikh· october surprise

1:49:51 Yeah, she is yeah I'd say oh Not good. Oh down she goes Well L Dopa I don't know if...I can't recall. I certainly couldn't find a clip of this and i don't know if we discussed it or what happened but it cropped up again just because I played that jingle, it reminded me. What difference at this point does it make? The ISO about Benghazi did we talk ever about Admiral James Lyons retired admiral James Lyons no um so he was a four-star admiral and you have some standing

1:50:33 And if you recall what our thesis always was, which you heard partially from Tony the Terrorist when he was driving me to the airport in San Francisco. You remember Tony the Terrorist? He was a great resource and he was the one that clued us into him as supposed to be kidnapping and it went wrong And we ran with that and there was no way to dispute that thesis, that this was meant possibly as an October surprise to help President Obama in his re-election. The timing was perfect for it. Right? We had to remember that people would say well what's the point he kicked ass with the polls show them neck and neck exactly neck and neck if the polls are accurate and showed the truth this probably the event in Benghazi would have never happened based on our thesis

1:51:15 And when you look at all the interference and the delays, and not even a... Stan Downs. Not even F-16 flying over with afterburners to which apparently does get people to pay attention. Oh yeah. Full afterburner. And I guess Lyons talked about this early on and it cropped up again in an interview. And I just want to play this little short bit of what his assessment was of the situation. I think it was an operation that went terribly wrong, if I had to speculate, I would say that Ambassador Stevens was to be kidnapped and held hostage in exchange for the release

1:52:05 of the blind shake, but the operation got screwed up. I have a confidential FBI informant who has confirmed for me my speculation who has told me that was the plan." There you go! Well, that's close to our thing. Now why the blind shake? What do you think the thinking is behind that? Do we really care about this guy? Is he an important guy or would it just be an easy symbolic guy? But it makes no sense. October surprise. I think his story is half wrong. Yeah, I think that's all the whole things to cover story. Yeah, I think you're right

1:52:50 Because it makes no sense as an October surprise if we're gonna exchange prisoners No, unless that was going to be quietly. You know no I don't know I just thought it was a stand downs and all the rest of when they looked into their during the hearings It seems to me that there was a cover story That was passed along to this guy And he repeated it died other than that, you know I still think by we still I think agree on this and you know the thing was screwed up because the CIA was doing a simultaneous operation Drawing attention to itself because it had some guns to exchange or pick up or remove Or do something and then the whole thing got fouled up And I think which is why I think the CIA Partially responsible for the death of the guy. Mm-hmm. Yes where they support Hillary? Yeah, well, there's gotta be some reason I have yet to figure out

CHAPTER 39 / 53 Discussion

Donald Trump, Military General Endorsements

Donald Trump announced the endorsement of 88 retired generals and admirals, a move intended to bolster his national security credentials. However, critics in the media quickly pointed out that Mitt Romney had over 1,500 such endorsements in 2012. The story largely disappeared from mainstream coverage shortly after the announcement, as the campaign shifted focus to other issues.

donald trump· flag officers· mitt romney· endorsements· mainstream media

1:53:41 Why the see it there was a funny story that came out this week. They got no coverage It got little coverage in the right-wing press and then he disappeared from the mainstream Which was that Trump because Hillary's bragging about she's got this general in that general rooting for her, they're on his side Trump came out found 88 generals and admirals to support him And so there's some photo ops and the generals are happy to... Who were they? I'd missed all of this, so. Oh yeah well you can look it up there's just 88 but the left-wing guys came out and said, 88?! Romney had 1500!

1:54:19 And it was like, oh only 88. I mean not comparing it to what Clinton's got her 25 guys or whatever it is but compared to Romney supposed 1500 flag officers or whatever they called them and this story came out with the 88 guys and just...I've never seen anything disappear so quick. It just poof! Just poof! Interesting. I didn't catch it at all Yeah you just because you blinked So we have blinking going on. Here is the up-to-date Afghan report, Afghan Up to Date. Okay. Himself in the crowd of helpers at first a remote control bomb went off then as help arrived for the wounded a suicide bomber dressed in an afghan army uniform detonated himself in the crowd of helpers At least 35 people were killed including an Army general and three senior police officers more than 90 were wounded

CHAPTER 40 / 53 Discussion

Afghanistan, Kabul Suicide Bombing and Terrorist Groups

A double bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, killed at least 35 people, including an Army general and senior police officers. The attack involved a remote-control bomb followed by a suicide bomber dressed in an Afghan Army uniform. U.S. officials maintain that a continued military presence is necessary to keep pressure on the 10 designated terrorist organizations operating in the region, including Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

afghanistan· kabul· taliban· al-qaeda· isis

1:55:18 And the Taliban aren't the only threat in Afghanistan. Of the 60 designated terrorist organizations that the U.S has identified, 10 of them reside in this region so our presence here enables us to keep pressure on those organizations and prevent another 9-11 Both Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State are in Afghanistan.

1:56:00 It is super bullcrap. Where does it all come from? It just out of ideas, man! And it'll be fun to watch I think all three networks are doing 9-11 as it happened so that started at you know the actual time till they're you know, they're playing back things in real time which is always fun to relive a shitty day like that. Let's see around 520 p.m., let's see if we have the BBC and everyone saying oh building 7 just collapsed while it's in the shot behind them clearly not collapsed. I don't think that's going to be shown. I'd like to know if it's 9-11 as it happened? That would be interesting to see. Yeah wouldn't it? And that's exactly what happened. I think I remember watching

CHAPTER 41 / 53 Discussion

Alex Jones, European Political Scandals and Tomi Lahren

Alex Jones has entered a public feud with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow after she featured clips from his show regarding European political scandals. Jones is also observing the rise of conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, who has gained significant traction among millennials on Glenn Beck's network. The discussion touched on the evolution of "groundbreaking" television, comparing modern viral videos to the early days of NYPD Blue.

alex jones· rachel maddow· tomi lahren· glenn beck· millenials

1:56:41 Meanwhile, I think it has a lot to do with the world leadership. And we have A. Jones clip of the day on the world scene as he's just a little clip. I don't want over promote the seed guy but always good. It's come out in Europe where you know that top politicians and leaders like Basements with toddlers they torture for months and rape and kill I mean you're like what in the world are you that's who runs things They're crazy. I tell ya my god for 25 years They've been growing babies in cows yeah in Europe in Europe

1:57:23 Bastards. Oh, it's so good So I got a couple of these clips from here. I only have that one for this show But he's gone off the deep end with because now mad owl Mad Cowl Matt out has Started excoriating him on her show oh that's what he loves he's getting well He loves mainstream promotion And so he is going after her because she clips, supposedly clips stuff out of context when there's really not much of a context with... Well that's her whole show is that. Yeah and so it from what I can tell this is going to be funnier than his feud with Glenn Beck No that'll be good Which I think has ended Although you know there's a new secret weapon in the Glenn Beck camp

1:58:08 Which, we've talked about it. That Tommy girl? Spelled T-O-M-I The blonde? Yeah She's an idiot I don't like her at all No me neither but she is getting a lot of traction And all the millennials are watching her Where'd you get that idea? Where did i get that idea? From your millenials? Yeah Really?! That where I first heard about her Most of them don't like her But they have to watch for some reason And she's 24 and she's got the whole look. And she and she's you know, she's animated. Yeah they are watching her this is it? You know, she has videos that are going viral but we have to start watching more than because she says some of this stupidest stuff I've ever heard. Yeah i don't like the way she even freaking this and freaking that out like that at all. I'd like I like cursing but curse and just don't say freaking this freaking that as I don't like that. It was like in old NBC cop show Hill Street Blues

1:59:07 Wow. They used to use freaking all the time you remember Hill Street Blues was groundbreaking television because you saw supposed to saw the guy's ass. The Sipowicz, yeah, little piece of gum. Remember? You would see what his name was a sipowitz Sippen was just a tough cop with the round head, chewing on little piece of gum. And then you'd see his ass... they had shot of his ass? Oh my goodness! We saw his ass on television. That was big news. Hill Street Blues. Got anything else before we take a break? Before we take a break, I think maybe one thing... Let's see, do the North Korea stuff next Was it Hill Street Blues or was it NYPD Blue I think It was not Hill Street Blues I think it was NYPD Blue No I think SIPAWIT is that what somebody said Yeah

Phyllis Schlafly, Equal Rights Amendment Legacy

Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly died at age 92, leaving a legacy defined by her successful campaign to stop the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Schlafly argued that the ERA would actually disadvantage women by subjecting them to the military draft and eliminating legal protections based on gender differences. Despite being a polarizing figure, she is credited with mobilizing the grassroots conservative movement that reshaped the Republican Party.

phyllis schlafly· equal rights amendment· era· conservative movement· military draft

2:00:00 Think Sipowicz was on the Hill Street Blues. May I could be wrong? Well, we'll look it up and so because it's so important will straighten this out for being fact-checked on the fly Blah blah blah. I think we can well know we can do one more thing here that's just me to condemn the Go back to the PBS with Brooks Shields and Brooks The famous right wing I guess she was a a grand seer or she wrote a lot of books and she was very famous amongst in the community of right-wingers. Phyllis Schlafly died, okay? And Schlafly was a huge influence but so they decided to do a little tribute to her trying to do their own thing which proves to me that David Brooks is nothing he is no

2:00:48 He is no conservative in any way. He's gonna be he's going to be your pet peeve of the day pretty soon if you keep getting there Yeah, so let's play that little tribute to her and then I'll tell you what the most important thing she ever did And then I'll tell you that I'm baffled that they left it out this week If someone who was an icon in the conservative movement Phyllis Schlafly 92 years old she left an important mark didn't she? Yes She came of age and personified the era when the cultural war and the sexual revolution issues rose up and dominated American politics, whether it was issues of gay rights or gay marriage or abortion. And she sort of exemplified that and created a new right that really fueled the Republican Party I happen to think she passes at a time when those culture wars, sexual revolution issues are fading from the scene and the coming generation has basically settled them and not necessarily in a philished-out direction

2:01:40 Mark Shields in 10 seconds a word about Phyllis Schlafly. Well she I mean Phyllis Schlafly was that and she was more, she almost became a political kingmaker. Her endorsement her support were sought eagerly and coveted by leading Republican presidential candidates and she had an enormous influence Mark Shields, thank you very much. David Brooks have a great weekend. Now you need to explain You got some explaining to do if you had actually asked Phyllis Schlafly what her claim to fame was and if you knew anything about her And if you knew anything about politics like these two guys are supposed to Phyllis Schlafly

2:02:24 single-handedly stopped in its tracks, which people don't want to admit this is even what I'm gonna say is even... What? The Equal Rights Amendment. That's her claim to fame and she was a Democrat. No the Equal Rights Amendment was kind of a Democrat. She was a Democrat no no she was a Republican oh okay I'm sorry that mean they I think they did know that much They both said that she was a conservative Republican, but her major thing that she did and people don't want to talk about it. My wife always likes to bring this up. She says oh yeah ask him why the Equal Rights Amendment hasn't been passed because it was an amendment of the Constitution that she single-handedly stopped

2:03:09 with her debates from state to state to state about what this means for women, because it turns out the way she saw it and I think it could be argued that the Equal Rights Amendment was not going to benefit women at all. In fact just the opposite was true And she made that argument so beautifully that the thing dropped dead and people kind of think there's an equal rights amendment in play, but it's not. There is no equal rights amendment at all. It's not there. It doesn't exist." This was never ratified? The Equal Rights Amendment? Yeah. The ERA as it was called. Earned Run Average. I'm curious now what...and maybe I just have to research what was the…why would the Equal Rights Amendment be bad for women?

2:03:53 You have to go listen to her. We should talk, ask Mimi maybe she can probably tell us. They had a lot of stuff about you know women shouldn't... She didn't believe women should be serving in the military she didn't believe that women should be judged on an equal basis with men. She actually felt that giving women equal rights was she believed that women had uber rights. She said that you know when you judge a woman in terms of what she can lift to become a cop should be different than what it is for a man, and this is the way I see it. I could be off on this but my thinking is the following- women have

2:04:36 have a disadvantage in certain situations because they're not framed the same as men. And so that should be taken into account, the Equal Rights Amendment does not take that into account it eliminates the differences and she believed this would hurt the cause of women And she was convincing and never went through. Yeah, I'm just looking around it seems the military draft is mentioned if the draft of return the amendment would mean that women had to be subjected to it supporters of the right to abortion Supreme Court recently Pretended defining in the Constitution we use the Equal Rights Amendment to strengthen their case okay? That makes sense hmm so she was in a way a hero for women well

No Agenda, 9-11 Anniversary Donor Poll

A poll of No Agenda donors revealed that over 90% of respondents believe the official story of the September 11 attacks is "fishy" or incorrect. Only two donors contributing $51 or more expressed full confidence in the government's account. The segment included a reading of names and locations of producers who supported the show's 15th-anniversary broadcast through the value-for-value model.

Opus Audio Format, Low Bandwidth Podcast Feed

A listener in Syria has created an alternative RSS feed for the No Agenda show using the Opus audio compression format. This format reduces the standard 150MB show file to approximately 20MB while maintaining high vocal clarity, making it ideal for listeners with limited bandwidth or data caps. The new feed is accessible via a dedicated landing page for international and mobile users.

I don't know sorry B12 moment. The other thing I do need to mention PR mention

2:12:43 Our friend in Syria sub-70 who gives us a lot of information. He is also a form of a dude named Ben he's created an RSS feed of the show with in the opus format are you familiar with Opus? I was no Opus, No Magnum Opus It's a compression... Opus 1 I got Opus one it's wine. It's apparently a compression format And it's he's but he's taking our normal show file we talked about and people just do this I love it He'd take our normal show file, which is anywhere from 120 to 150 megabytes and we're at what I consider to be the smallest bitrate possible. To still sound decent and with today's you know in general today's bandwidth it's not a problem but there are lots of people who still have issues and caps etc so he's taking these files and with this Opus compresses them down to 20 megabytes and it doesn't sound bad!

2:13:38 It's really, yeah. I have to look into this. Yeah it's itm.im slash opus and that'll take you to the feed page and you can subscribe from there. The voices are a little... it messes the mix up somehow? The voices are a little above the music and effects but still! It's really phenomenal how well that sounds- how good that sounds. I'm blown away Oh good, that'd be good for people. Yeah well probably great for African listeners Well... People like it they like to have a lower bandwidth I understand It's also good for us if you use it but And then of course Tuesday this coming Tuesday I will be live on Night Attack That is the Brian Bushwood...

Sir Alex the Farmer, Knighting Ceremony

An anonymous donor known as "Alex the Farmer" was knighted into the No Agenda Roundtable after contributing over $1,000 to the show. The ceremony included the traditional bestowing of peerage status and a list of humorous "benefits" associated with the rank. The hosts emphasized that these titles are a way to recognize the significant financial support that keeps the podcast independent.

National Anthem, NFL Kneeling Protests and History

The trend of kneeling during the National Anthem, started by NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, has spread to high school athletes across the country. The protest has sparked a debate over the history of "The Star-Spangled Banner," including controversial lyrics in the third stanza regarding "hirelings and slaves." Historically, the song was a poem set to a British drinking tune and was not officially adopted as the national anthem until 1931.

national anthem· colin kaepernick· star-spangled banner· francis scott key· kneeling

2:17:40 Head over to noagendanation.com slash ring and rings, sorry And Eric the shield will help you out and get that out to you Okay alright good I have a little thing here that's in your wheelhouse but i wanted To bring it up again because you are the one who identified It and I think we can actually do something very positive in this case with what is happening and this is regarding our well initially it was the flag and as you correctly identified the national anthem that's bound to be changed

2:18:16 It has to go because we've moved away from putting your hand over the heart of your heart and looking at the flag and honoring the flag, to screw the national anthem. It's gone through the NFL and now into high schools Tonight a Lincoln High School athlete protested during the National Anthem Southeast football player Sterling Smith and his teammate kneeled during the National Anthem as a silent protest at Seacrest Field Athletes who have done this in the past have called this a nod to NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who sat during the national anthem during the preseason. In August, Kaepernick told the press he was protesting what he deemed as wrongdoings against minorities in the U.S..

2:18:57 So this is very interesting that now we're kneeling, which to me seems more submissive than anything. That was Kaepernick. Yeah but these kids are doing it now too! Yes well they're gonna do whatever he does but he's the one who changed from sitting... This is last week. He changed from sitting to kneeling on one knee So it's like a one knee deal. I thought you got, you know, you get your, you put one knee down and the other legs kind of in a position where you can lean on or something. It's awkward But he has done that and then I watched the Twitters, and everybody goes nuts because oh now it's 9-11, it's the holidays. It's 9-11! And if he does it today this is gonna be the end of it then this was going to be no good and they went on and on. I've seen a bunch people bitching about him not standing for the national anthem in the flag which is what the flag is about even though thats been lost all over the place Not realizing that Kaepernick

2:20:01 Plays tomorrow night in the Monday Night Game. So let's just ignore the fact that it's got nothing to do with a 9-11 thing It's pretty funny I did a little bit of research You got me very interested in this and I found a pretty interesting story from written by Isaac Asimov who loved the national anthem and he actually this letter that he or by almost a letter or something that he wrote about all four stanzas of the national anthem how much he loved it. He thinks is fantastic even though the tune is crappy, I'm sorry first I looked at this racist piece... Yeah what's in the third?

2:20:43 It is... You might as well read it. It's actually in the, I'm going to yeah it's in the third and here it is so the entire third verse or stanza And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and battles confusion A home and a country should leave us no more Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, and the star-spangled banner in the triumph doth wave o'er the land of the free and home of the brave." So it's not really about killing slaves. It's just they could have said... Yes it is! No it's not. No refuge could save the hireling or the slave. Yeah, the miser day we're gonna kill him

2:21:33 Okay, once they got no refuge once they turn coat on us those racist slaves and racists kill them to race this Racist a-hole now so this was written in I when was it? Well. I want to say 1812 Yes, 1820 was at 1821 that was 1814 oh It was written in 12 or 14, it kind of depends. But... It was after the War of 1812 so I don't think he would drink during that war. Well yeah, I think he was writing it down during 1812 and then he said to the music of that... well it was a poem... Somebody in chat room will have the date probably 1840 for all we know. Well wait, he wrote it down and then they put into English drinking song which you're correct about and that became the national anthem.

2:22:20 ratified or, you know, Congress didn't make it official as the national anthem until 1931. So there's a lot of time between this and then it being the official national anthem. You know, like 100 years more than 100 years. So what was the national anthem before this? There were...there wasn't a national anthem I don't think but there were different things like America The Beautiful I think no that's not Well, God Bless America is a pretty old song. And that's what they sang at the Congress, they talked about in one of their earlier clips and when commemorated 9-11 by singing God bless America which I think is in contention with America the Beautiful to take over the anthem. Well this is what I wanted to talk about

CHAPTER 47 / 53 Discussion

National Anthem, Potential Modern Song Replacements

A satirical discussion explored potential modern replacements for the U.S. National Anthem to better reflect contemporary culture. Candidates included Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A.," and Elvis Presley's "Promised Land." The hosts suggested that an Elvis song would be particularly effective because every American town has an impersonator available to perform at sporting events.

elvis presley· toby keith· miley cyrus· national anthem· promised land

2:23:10 Being a progressive American, you know progressive country and we're gonna put Harriet Tubman on the 20. And you know where were doing all kinds of things why do we have to resort to songs that are now 200 years old? Why can't we take something a little bit more modern and I'm not... You know yeah I made the joke about Jay-Z well I want to give you a couple of options and see if we can come up with something There's tons of good music that I think is patriotic enough, that portrays our hunger for war. We are the best! Screw everybody! Red white and blue!

2:23:49 You want to try a couple of them? Put your ass, that song is good. I put a boot in your ass it's the American way. Well let's... That was a hand he used to use Yeah that is actually-I have that one I took that one. I think you stopped using it This is Toby Keith possible contender for the new national anthem. Oh Sam put your name at the top of his list And a statue every day started shaking her fist Helicopters So that is the title of that song is courtesy of the red white and blue That's the boot. Yes, I would go if that would be a good one okay? Let's try another one rude. I have another one immature. I believe how about this one

2:24:44 That's one we could use. I like it, yeah! Well if we like that one then this is one that could be a contender kind of an outside chance We have to choose something people already know. We don't want people to learn a new song and we have an actual opportunity for people to know the lyrics to the entire national anthem Here's what i think is very appropriate Everything's free in America. What do you think? West side story? That's a gem! Could work, right could work Yeah it's got the nice kind of Hispanic ring to it If we want something that works for every kind of sporting event which is all militarized at this point although it doesn't really help women in the United States

2:25:44 I think we could use this one. A little war there, perhaps it's kind of just about the Navy though yeah but they have the Indian guy they got the versatile group of people singing yeah diverse diverse yeah uh we could also take a newer pop hit from an all-american girl Miley Cyrus It's party in the USA

2:26:23 Party in the yard for... The problem is you gotta, if you're gonna take one of these songs. You have to imagine somebody from a high school singer going out in front of a big audience at a football game because we have to have this military exercise at the beginning of modern sporting events so you have to imagine her coming out and singing doing these songs and some of those songs are difficult to sing and I would put the Miley Cyrus song in that group. Okay, well Miley Cyrus is off the list Nothing says America like the king. Nothing says America like Elvis Presley This is the promised land baby

2:27:15 All right, what do you think? Well wait a minute now I think you're stumbled onto something here because this is a distinct possibility as a winner because there are so many Elvis impersonators. in this country. There's thousands of them. Wouldn't it be great? That all you, when you have the sporting event and you have the military exercise at the beginning an Elvis impersonator which there is one in every town would come out and do that song! It'd be fantastic And everybody...and its a military song at the same time Yeah I think thats good Sounds very military Okay so that's a possibility That would be on the A list Alright Potentials Nothing says

CHAPTER 48 / 53 Discussion

Battle Hymn of the Republic, Anthem Contender

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was proposed as a strong contender for a new national anthem due to its militaristic sound and public domain status. Other songs like "God Bless America" are ruled out because their estates strictly enforce copyrights, making them too expensive for public use. The discussion concluded with a call for listener suggestions for a song that captures the "American spirit" without the vocal difficulties of the current anthem.

battle hymn of the republic· striper· yankee doodle· national anthem· public domain

2:27:53 America, like the true one and only American badass? Kid Rock! What do you think? I've never liked that guy. Okay alright...I like it though, I'd like me some Kid Rock. Nah nah nah, no I would vote No on that, I'd veto it. Well okay well I have two songs left And both of them, I like these versions which is why I chose them. This next song is something the entire world knows it comes from around the same period It's a patriotic song in its essence and this is performed by one of my favorite bands Coffin Fuck What do you think? Yankee Doodle

2:29:08 Yankee Doodle, yeah. Well the problem with Yankee Doodle is it's a really old song and it has... Yeah but they're all old! A lot of references that are like meaningless to the public like the... It's got macaroni in there? Yeah but macaroni is a reference to a faddish moment But you know, we can change the lyrics. You know? And called it mac and cheese... I mean could do all kinds of cool stuff. They could do the Mac and Cheese thing yes. The final one is from a band who I know personally and I think they've nailed it with this. This is the one that possibly could be our new national anthem. Striper is the name of the band. Of course you know them as the heavy metal Christian rock outfit.

2:30:01 What do you think? Glory, glory hallelujah. No that's called the battle hymn of the republic. Yes that's right the battle hymn of the republic Actually I'm surprised you left out Bye-Bye American Pie Yeah i considered it Also also The funny thing is now as you mention it I think Battle Hymn Of The Republic should be in contention with the other two songs Because I think it's a more militaristic sound. You know, God bless America is like kind of religious too religious for the public today's public and the other one which is there was also Mary in America the Beautiful that I think is a good song but so kind of wimpy. I have one last kind of last testant which I don't have a super version of it let me see this is also contender

2:30:57 That's a marine zone now. But listen to the lyrics! The lyrics are irrelevant because this is... for one thing, everyone that has ever been in the Navy or Army, Air Force or Coast Guard would reject this song and they would just vote people out of office if it was picked. The only thing I like about it is the first two lines from the halls of Montezuma to to the shores of Tripoli. Yeah, it still applies! It's as current as ever and then of course it could be new seekers... And they can change the beginning to The Revenge Of Montezuma Oh yes! To the shores of Tripoli

2:31:37 And then the I'm not even gonna play this one, but it could be the new seekers You know i'd like to teach the world to sing and yeah pepsi people would Lobby against that.

CHAPTER 49 / 53 Discussion

North Korea, Nuclear Containment Failure and China

Hillary Clinton called for tougher sanctions on North Korea following its latest nuclear test, despite admitting that previous sanctions have failed for over 20 years. Critics argue that the U.S. and China have been stuck in an "endless cycle" of negotiations since 1994. Some analysts suggest that North Korea simply wants international recognition as a sovereign state, but the military-industrial complex prefers maintaining the conflict to sell weapons to South Korea.

2:34:14 Let's play, here is Clinton talking about North Korea. North Korea dropped this little bomb or set one off underground we can't tell no one will tell us but let's play here is Clinton on North Korea and ask yourself as you hear what she has to say why doesn't she do this when she was a head of the State Department and why doesn't Obama just go do it? Well today Hillary Clinton called for tougher sanctions against the North Koreans though she admitted that hasn't worked so far She also told our Nancy Cordes that if elected president she will insist on getting the Chinese to use their leverage To bring the North Koreans in line. Oh Fascinating hmm boy, she's got two policies there. They're just lined up so here is PBS on it says Noria with Paul Ryan and this is

2:35:03 This and the next clip really irked me. Today's test marks the latest setback in a campaign to contain North Korea's nuclear ambitions, going back decades and several presidents. North Korea did agree to halt its nuclear weapons program back in 1994 but the years since then have seen an endless cycle of on-off negotiations threats sanctions and ever more advanced tests by the north

2:35:39 A State Department spokeswoman was asked what happens next. We won't stop our efforts in working with our international partners to increase pressure on this very opaque regime in reaction to provocative acts like this In New York, the United Nations Security Council met yet again in emergency session to condemn the North and weigh its options. But China which has veto power on the council stopped short of saying it would back new sanctions that prompted Secretary of Defense Ash Carter to say that Beijing has an important responsibility and needs to do more for the PBS news hour

2:36:20 I'm Margaret Warner. This has been going on since 94, 22 years and nobody will go meet with these guys we know that they want to... Well we know from my uncle, Uncle Don XCIA ambassador of South Korea who is very pro-North Korea which does not make him popular all they want is to be a full fledged member of the international community they don't want armistice they just wanna be a country and recognized as such boom thats all that needs to happen but that doesn't work for military They need to sell more weapons. Yes, to South Korea and South Korea now this is the one that really got me This is the North Korea

United Nations, Picasso's Guernica and Samantha Power

A replica of Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" was spotted in the background of a UN Security Council broadcast featuring Ambassador Samantha Power. The painting, which depicts the horrors of war, was famously covered up in 2003 during Colin Powell's presentation regarding the Iraq War. The presence of the artwork in the UN hallway has raised questions about its ownership and why it was not returned to Spain as previously reported.

guernica· picasso· united nations· samantha power· colin powell

2:36:56 I'll explain after you hear this clip. This is North Korea, this is the CBS report of the same story. North Korea has tested its fifth nuclear weapon it was the strongest one yet but as these things go it was a small bomb less power than the one that destroyed Hiroshima in World War II still the North Korean nuclear program is accelerating and getting closer to fitting a compact warhead on a missile Adriana Diaz in Beijing is following this. On North Korean state television, the test was celebrated as a success it was the country's most powerful explosion yet and another sign of progress for its nuclear program President Obama just back from a week-long trip to Asia

2:37:43 called the test provocative and destabilizing. China, North Korea's most reliable partner urged all relevant countries to act carefully in New York an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council was called US Ambassador Samantha Power North Korea is seeking to perfect its nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles so they can hold the region and the world hostage under threat of nuclear strike. This is North Korea's second nuclear test this year, and the latest in a string of recent provocations

2:38:23 Leader Kim Jong-un has also ramped up the country's ballistic missile capacity and launched three earlier this week during the G20 summit in China. The fear is that with each test comes better capabilities Jamie Metzl is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council North Korea continues on the path that it's on It is likely that within a decade, they will have a deliverable nuclear weapon able to hit the continental United States. We're all going to die Yeah, what a... Sales whores. What are they going to accomplish? Just selling missiles I do not think. Now here's what really got me though it has nothing to do with North Korea They're showing the thing of Samantha Powers and the Security Council giving little speech at podium they have like a studio it is like in the hallway or something They pan the camera It where they do their... well they have word for yeah that's were they talk to press

2:39:19 So they pan the camera down the hallway over to her and then they roll it out, and then they come in for the close-up. As they pan the camera across there is Guernica! The Picasso painting in the hallway. It's huge by the way I've seen it was used to be at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It's one of the most famous paintings in the world I have a copy of it actually in my house. Can you explain for people who don't know what it looks like? It's a big giant picture of the, it depicts the bombing during this Spanish civil war or the Nazis killing is like a horse head and there's a bunch of women screaming. It's real abstract. Well, it's Picasso. Yeah. And so it's got a bunch of corpses and said, and some reasons extremely compelling and very attractive and as monstrous one of his biggest pieces huge

2:40:10 This painting, when it was at the Museum of Modern Art was a big... It was all of a sudden a contention about oh! The Spanish want their painting back. The Spanish want their painting back and they're supposed to have gotten so then all of a sudden if you go to the Museum of Modern Art in New York You can't see the painting anymore because it was shipped back to Spain What am I looking at then? That was never shipped back to Spain that UN stole the painting Huh Yeah, that's what I said when i saw it. Wait a minute! You're telling me that all the New Yorkers were told we can't have the painting anymore because the Spanish won it back? It is sitting in their Security Council hallway which is probably a blocked off area you can't normally go to for the benefit of the UN douchebags?! Wow... I'm going to point for that. Yeah wow I'm looking at this now apparently in 2003

2:41:05 When was it supposed to go back to Spain? Do you remember how long ago this was? It wasn't about a decade ago, maybe longer. Headline United Nations conceals Picasso's Guernica for Powell's presentation. This is 2003 when he did his... I guess that's the yellow cake and they covered it up so no one would see it was there. Wow! That's pretty crazy. So how does the United Nations get it? Is it on loan or... Some scam. Damn! Yeah, it's probably on loan from Spain they never shipped obviously they never shipped it over there and the Spanish either loaned it to the United Nations that never was going to go to Spain The whole thing was just stealing art Well I'm glad that still in play I'm gonna call them out Let us not only steal art let us steal one of the most valuable paintings probably in the history of modern art

Zika Funding, Congressional Impasse and Planned Parenthood

Funding for Zika virus prevention is currently stalled in Congress due to a dispute over Planned Parenthood. Democrats are demanding that the $1.1 billion bill include provisions for Planned Parenthood to deliver health services in Puerto Rico, while Republicans insist the money go through public health departments and hospitals. The impasse has left the NIH and CDC without the requested resources as the mosquito season progresses.

zika virus· congress· planned parenthood· nih· cdc

2:41:59 Douchebag! There you go. Good work. Hell yeah. Unbelievable, they probably should have covered it up and I wouldn't have seen it. I don't think people know this is there to be honest about it. It was a fluke that I saw it interesting. Yeah all right how about your Zika thing? Is that worth the last clip or is that uh... These are two guys in Congress arguing about- Hold on Zika, zika, zika, zika, zika. Yeah! Where's the money? 1.9 billion dollars. Zika, zika, zika, zika, zika. Yeah! Where is the money? Small heads are coming. You're gonna do it you watch. Alright small heads... I would probably not play that clip What the zika yeah you can play this two guys arguing and it turns out that the whole thing has hung up in Congress because of the Planned Parenthood thing

2:42:48 The Democrats want funding for Planned Parenthood through this bill and the Republicans don't. Play it, you have the two guys these are the two heads of the Democrat side and they head of the Republican side arguing in Congress uh and it goes on a little bit you can hear the deal though play play away. An NIH and CDC would have the resources Mr Speaker that it needs to protect the American people. And that, Mr Speaker is what we oughta do and I now yield to my friend the Majority Leader. Well I thank the gentleman. I think the best thing for the American people should actually read the bill So let me just read this section you referred too You stated that no Democrat in the probes would sign on to and then Democrats on either side wanted to vote for

2:43:38 For a two-block grant, let me quote it. This is in the bill dealing with Zika for the funding for health services provided by public health departments hospitals are reimbursed through public health plans Seriously? You're opposed to that. That's what you're fighting over, why people every day and the mosquitoes begin to grow and go beyond state by state This is what we are fighting over? That 1.1 billion dollars added with the other 600 million took place in June Yeah, we couldn't get to the floor to debate it because you wouldn't give us one microphone But I'm sorry! I know there is a lot of political that goes around here but this is not

2:44:24 This is the moment, this is the time that we rise above it. The American people do not deserve that and I say let's put this paragraph out Let the public read what the bill says and I will promise you the majority wants you to vote for it And stop playing games Do we need to hear more? Yeah. I understand the majority wants to vote for what they want us to vote for. Nice. You voted against that. If the gentleman would please explain to me what... Members, direct their remarks to the chair It's so hard Mr Speaker. Gentlemen yield? I'd be glad to yield my friend but I have a comment but i'll be yielding him first.

2:45:15 The gentleman across the aisle is true. We work closely together on the big issues and we try to find common ground in that spirit will you tell me what in that paragraph you disagree with? Reclaiming my time Mr Speaker, Is the gentleman aware that the major deliverer of health services to women in Puerto Rico is through Planned Parenthood? Is the gentlemen aware of that? Yielding I yield Did the president request, when he requested money that it get delivered that way? Or in here may I remind the gentleman what i'm requesting. The funding goes for health services provided by public health departments hospitals are reimbursed through public health plans." Okay...I get it now. According to the numbers we have NIH would receive around 700

2:46:16 million dollars and so that's what they're now haggling over. It's all a part of it but then you know, what they should be haggling over is where is the money for everybody else? Yeah the whole thing's a scam but I just thought it was funny these guys can't even... there's this little impasse And they're stuck on it. This thing's never gonna get past if this goes on and there sounds like they're both in you know Stuck at their yeah, it doesn't sound like it's meant to pass really good last-minute info When we discussed the national anthem god bless America was a contender that is not going to happen I'll tell you why according to producer Randy from Bakersfield song was written by Irving Berlin Berlin and his estate vigorously enforces that copyright

Wells Fargo, Fake Account Scandal and Racketeering

Wells Fargo has been fined $185 million after employees opened approximately 2 million unauthorized bank and credit card accounts to meet aggressive sales targets. Over 5,300 employees were fired, but critics argue that senior executives should face racketeering charges for overseeing the systemic fraud. The scandal resulted in customers being charged improper fees and having their credit scores negatively impacted.

2:47:00 No way NFL Major League Baseball Olympic no one be able to Take to pay the fees for that. We need it to be in the public domain, huh? America The Beautiful is public domain that would work well That's when I would pick over god bless America anyway yeah, I have last couple clips Oh okay This is a scandal as far as I'm concerned is beyond I do not understand why they're not talking this up more as racketeering and arrest the CEO and the officers of Wells Fargo. This is an outrageous story, it's... They play out two clips, I got The Democracy Now short clip but let's play the longer version from CBS.

2:47:49 Well, we told you last night about massive fraud at Wells Fargo Bank. Today we wondered whether customers lost money when bank employees opened bogus accounts in the customer's names? They did! John Blackstone says now the bank may be seeing withdrawals of public trust At Wells Fargo in Marina Del Rey, California Ken Wallman met a banker to open up business checking account. He had me sign a lot of papers one after another after another after another sign here sign here sign here and then that was it I thought i had my one account but then monthly statements began arriving

2:48:27 And they just started stacking up and one day when I decided to take the time to open them all, I realized there were 16 accounts. The accounts came with a variety of names and fees A couple of the accounts were some kind of market savings account that were $40 a month I think i had four of those. Walden was not alone federal regulators say around 1.5 million bank accounts and some 565,000 credit card accounts were secretly opened by Wells Fargo employees in the names of unsuspecting customers Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Fuehrt launched an investigation into the bank

2:49:04 There was enormous pressure on its employees to continue to churn more and more accounts as a way of getting additional compensation. Roughly 5,300 employees including managers who did that have been fired in the statement Wells Fargo says it takes responsibility for any instances where customers have received a product that they did not request the bank says it has refunded 2.6 million dollars to affected customers We've had people complain to us, Wells customers that they have gone and had accounts go into debt collection because they weren't aware there were fees due on an account they didn't know they had. After closing his 16 unwanted accounts Ken Wallman got some fees refunded but not all I don't know the exact amount we never really get to the bottom of it

2:49:50 Wells Fargo could end up refunding as much as five million dollars to consumers. The bank says the average refund is $25 and Scott, Wells Fargo customers are being advised to check all their accounts carefully." Oh hey wait where's Pocahontas? Yeah where's Pocahontas? Isn't that her job to oversee all these a-holes? Yes this is her gig huh her beat okay I just found this to be the worst story. They've been fined by the government 186 million or something, they should arrest...this is criminal racketeering! I agree with you. It makes no sense that there are no actual arrests taking place. You're right and it's across state lines everything's in there Yes it's wide open for anyone who wants have some fun. Where are these prosecutors? This is the bankers have taken over the country and Hillary's their leader

2:51:23 These practices led to overdraft charges, late fees and other penalties. The bank has fired at least 5300 employees involved in the illegal activity."
