About this episode

FBI Director James Comey has officially reopened the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server after discovering pertinent records on a laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner. The device, seized during a separate probe into Weiner's alleged sexting with a minor, reportedly contained a folder labeled Life Insurance that may have been intended as leverage. Vice President Joe Biden appeared to slur his speech while addressing the scandal, leading to widespread speculation regarding his sobriety during the press interaction.

Journalist Carl Bernstein labeled the discovery a bombshell that poses a terminal threat to the Clinton campaign, while manager Robby Mook struggled to defend false claims regarding the FBI’s notification process. Legal analysts cite Title 18 U.S. Code 2071 and Executive Order 12968 as grounds for potential disqualification from office due to the mishandling of classified data. Meanwhile, Huma Abedin faces potential perjury charges after previously testifying that she had surrendered all government-related hardware. In other news, Mike Pence’s campaign plane skidded off a runway at LaGuardia Airport, and the Pentagon confirmed a secret drone base expansion in Tunisia.

Nadia Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot released an anti-Trump music video via NPR, while Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed claims of election interference by comparing the United States to a banana republic. The episode concludes with a look at high-end iPhone 7 clones from China and the record-breaking loss of 621,000 ESPN subscribers in a single month. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also weigh the survival odds of Anthony Weiner as he becomes a perceived liability for the Democratic establishment.

Vice President Joe Biden Slurs During Anthony Weiner Comments

Vice President Joe Biden appeared to slur his speech during a public comment regarding the reopening of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Biden suggested that Clinton should release all emails to the world while repeatedly stumbling over the name of Anthony Weiner. Observers noted his glassy-eyed appearance and stilted language, leading to speculation regarding his sobriety during the press interaction.

00:00 Hey, we got a donor from Nigeria. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. And Sunday, October 30th, 2016, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 873. This is no agenda. Kicking off year 10 and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in Austin, Tejas, FEMA Region 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where Aristotle say, women who play chess for sex may have checkered past. I'm John C. DeVore. Blackbaud and Buzzkill. In the morning. That Aristotle, I never knew that dude had it in him. Yeah. Sounds just like Confucius.

00:42 Yeah, it's amazing that way. All philosophers have these ditties. Indeed. Hey, good morning to you, John. Welcome to year 10. Welcome to you! Year what? 10, I tell ya! 10! Alright. And it's amazing, but only in Murica. Can we in a presidential election follow up Pussygate with Wienergate? I mean, come on. Do we have great writers in this country or what? Wienergate. I'm telling you, it's amazing. It's amazing how this happens. He does keep on giving. I love this guy. Yeah. So I said, I didn't put it in the clip list, but I sent you the Joe Biden thing. Drunk or not drunk? Yes. Yeah.

01:36 What do you think I didn't do I actually I have a I have did you record it? No, I just put it sent it to you. Okay. I have it. Hold on me. Let me play for you It's it's a very Amy he's slurring the whole time and it's a very I know I know I know what I know I know what he says the very end let don't blow it for everybody I Don't know what he said Yeah, wait a minute. I thought I had this Wait did I not record that yeah here we go I'll play it for you. What should happen now? I think it's important. I think Hillary, if she said what I'm told she said is correct. That she should release the emails for the whole world to see.

02:13 The whole world will see. They can continue their investigation. The best of my knowledge, it won't prejudice the investigation. But that's sort of the stilted language the agency always uses. And it doesn't mean anything. And so it's unfortunate. I'd be remiss if I didn't note that if she had released all the emails from the get-go, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Well, that's true. But I don't know where this email came from. Apparently Anthony Weiner. Well, oh God. Wait for it. Anthony Weiner.

02:50 I should not come in at Anthony Weiner. I'm not a big fan. And I wasn't before he got in trouble, so I shouldn't come in at Anthony Weiner. There it is. It's very hard to hear at the very end, but he already sounds a little... He looks glassy-eyed. At the end he says, Anthony Weiner. I mean, Weiner. Yeah, listen. And I wasn't before he got in trouble, so I shouldn't come in at Anthony Weiner. One more question on that. Anthony Weiner. Anthony Weiner. Anthony Weiner. Well, the question, I'll put it to you then, John. It's very simple. Drunk or not drunk. Was he drunk or not drunk? He's totally drunk. He's plastered. Yes. He was plastered. Because, you know, Joe, he's very functional. He's very, very functional when he's sauced up. He's a functional drunk. Yeah. Which I don't, I never liked that word, you know, that description. Oh, I'm a functional drug addict. Yeah. What does that mean? Come up with a substitute and I'd gladly swap that word out.

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

Anthony Weiner Laptop Discovery and Life Insurance Folder Claims

FBI Director James Comey notified Congress of new emails pertinent to the Hillary Clinton investigation discovered on a laptop belonging to Anthony Weiner. Reports indicate the device was seized during an investigation into Weiner's alleged sexting with a minor. Internal sources claim the relevant emails were found in a specific folder titled "Life Insurance," suggesting Weiner may have kept them as leverage against the Clintons.

anthony weiner· huma abedin· fbi· james comey· life insurance folder

03:44 I don't know what it means. It's good. It's good. Before we get into clips, because of course there's a lot of them, and I mean, thank you, thank you, thank you, Director Comey of FBI for bringing me so much entertainment. It was so fun to see the sad faces, the exploding heads, the anger, the dismay. It's just, it's wonderful. It's just so much fun. Right when we needed some ratings. And a couple of things we should note, we've got a couple of reports that we'll play for people who don't know what the heck we're talking about. But yeah, okay. As a quick wrap, apparently Anthony Weiner, they're still investigating him for sexting with a kid. Yes. So they grabbed his laptop, they found some other stuff on it that apparently had to do with something, I guess it's on the shared,

04:38 Well, I've looked into a lot. I also have some FBI information that may not have been published yet, depending on when you listen to this. It is not uncommon at all for people to use the same laptop. Macintosh specifically, and I'm just going to think it's a Mac, I don't know. But, you know... Do you use a Mac? Yeah, because Mac people tend to do this more often where they share each other. It just seems to be a thing. It's informal. I have no data. But the using two accounts on a Mac is very easy and now with the new Touch Bar, it's just touching, automatic signing is great. What I heard though, what I heard, okay, so first of all, I'm going to presume that I know what's going on and it is that a portion if not all of the deleted emails about yoga and other personal fun stuff

05:26 showed up in this secondary investigation, which we can't really discount that he's being, Anthony Weiner's being investigated for pedophilia as a sex offender. And so they, that's apparently what that investigation was about. They found the laptop, but they found these emails in the folder titled life insurance. Where'd you get that from my informants? I told you this is not out yet one. You have a good informant for this this one yeah, and So I'm going to think that this what has always been certainly for Anthony Weiner. I don't even know if Uma Did anything necessary? I mean she broke the law for sure she's in big trouble But Weiner you know how I've said from day one this guy is gonna suicide himself, and they will never divorce and

06:20 And this is not brought up in anything I've heard. If they actually divorce, then he can testify against her and she could testify against him. If they remain married, there's no obligation to do that. This is all...these things are all playing into each other. Yeah, it sounds logical that you'd have your life insurance. And maybe we should just back up and just explain once more the relationship between the Clintons and the Wieners. And again, by the way, Hillary really needs to become president so she can pardon. Pardon, of course, pardon everybody. Now I met Anthony Weiner, I worked with him years ago when he was still councilman in New York. I don't think I need to rehash the whole thing. The guy was a dick then, I'm sure he's a dick now. Well, I don't think Biden liked him even before the scandal he said. Well, so the way I've always seen this is, Uma has been with Hillary for two decades

07:14 There's enough speculation that they are lovers. That is kind of irrelevant, but the closeness is very relevant. And in our theory, when they are lovers, then we have Weiner and he's the beard. And the beard gets paid off in a number of great ways. First of all, he's an asset. He was a congressman. And he was Chuck Schumer's boy. He was on track to become a senator. The Clintons, I think not only hosted, but Bill Clinton officiated Anthony and Uma's wedding. And the whole thing was just shut up, just follow along. You're going to be senator. You're in the network. And because you're good to go. Well, yeah, you're good to go when you have no sex with your wife or whatever the frustration is, as certainly guys.

08:03 this is what's going to happen. And he's an idiot and he got caught and there's all kinds of other... Three times. Yeah. When you get caught three times, that's a cry for help. And everybody's really hypocritical, of course, because I think that a lot of people do the stuff that he's doing. But it doesn't matter, he got caught. And because he was really caught once, twice, three times, he knew that there was a target on his head. He's a big problem. And that's why he had these emails in a folder called life insurance. Now what's on these, what's in these emails, I can only imagine. But there's a lot of people talking about possibilities for sure. Let me see, where would you like to start?

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

FBI Director James Comey Reopens Clinton Email Investigation

FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress 11 days before the 2016 election stating the bureau found emails pertinent to the closed investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server. The term "pertinent" is highlighted as a specific legal designation implying the evidence is directly applicable to the matters in dispute. The Clinton campaign and Democratic allies have criticized the timing as a breach of Department of Justice protocol.

james comey· fbi· hillary clinton· pertinent evidence· department of justice

08:54 Well, I think we should start with one of the rundowns. Yeah, I'm sure you have a good background. I have two of them. Good. Let's try the one from ABC for starters because that's more commercial. Okay, breakdown from ABC. Tom Yamos with us again tonight, Tom, thank you. Let's bring in ABC chief legal analyst Dan Abrams for one more question on this. This isn't for later. Oh, I'm sorry. No, it's okay. I haven't found myself. Oh, FBI, Clinton, ABC. I got it. You didn't print your flip list, did you? What? You didn't print your clip list. No, I did print it. I'm looking at it now. Got it. Here it is. Tonight with that FBI bombshell, as I mentioned, there are just 11 days until this election and millions of Americans are already voting. And today with Hillary Clinton in the air flying to Iowa where the race is tied, the news breaks. The FBI director revealing new emails have now been discovered and will now be investigated.

09:49 They were discovered while looking into a separate case involving Anthony Weiner and his alleged sexting scandal. His estranged wife is longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin. She and her husband shared a device and on it authorities say thousands of emails. The FBI saying it cannot assess whether the emails quote may be significant but they're going to look. ABC senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas tonight. Hillary Clinton stepping off that plane today into a political nightmare. Ignoring reporter questions about those newly discovered emails. Her campaign stunned. ABC News has learned it all began inside the FBI yesterday morning. The firestorm set in motion during a highly confidential briefing by FBI Director James Comey with senior agents. Those agents came to him with explosive information.

10:40 that new emails had been discovered. Comey decides further investigation is needed, and even though there's no evidence of wrongdoing by Clinton, the director decides he has to tell Congress. And today, less than 24 hours later, with Clinton in the air flying to Iowa, Director Comey drops the bombshell in a letter to Congress, writing, in connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. He goes on to say they will determine whether they contain classified information and stresses that the FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant. And he says he cannot predict how long it will take to complete the investigation.

11:20 And then the second stunner. Late today we learned the investigation was reopened because of a criminal probe into Anthony Weiner and an alleged underage sexting case. During that investigation, emails were discovered on a device shared by him and his estranged wife, longtime Clinton aide Uma Abedin. I've got information, man. New shit has come to light. Oh yes it has. Something important about the note that That was saying, well actually there's two things that are important. One is, and this we have of course lots of lawyers who listen to the show and participate. The key word in Comey's letter is pertinent. It is a legal term, pertinent. And here is the definition applicable. Relevant evidence is called pertinent when it is directed to the issue or matters in dispute

12:14 and legitimately tends to prove the allegations of the party offering it. Otherwise, it is called impertinent. So for Comey, a lawyer, in a legal case, to use the word pertinent, which I've not heard anyone deconstruct this word. Every lawyer knows this. Pertinent, which means he has evidence which is directed to the issues or matters in the dispute. No one's talking about it. Well, we are. Oh yes, of course we are. There seem to be some talking points that floated around. I got one. Yeah, I got one. I want to hear yours. This is a great talking point. This is a failed talking point. Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan. The failed one should be funny. So here's the I want the talking point is in here and then I I caught it as a talking point. First I heard it on ABC. Then I caught it as a talking point on PBS. Here's the clip. Here's the new Hillary email breakdown. OK.

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Democratic Talking Points and Disloyalty to the Country Claims

Democratic Representative Tim Ryan and various media outlets have shifted messaging to focus on a lack of "intent" or "disloyalty to the country" as the new legal standard for indictment. Critics argue that "disloyalty" is a newly introduced term intended to shield Hillary Clinton from the strict letter of security laws. The FBI's discovery is framed by supporters as a political bluff, while opponents suggest it points toward deeper national security breaches.

tim ryan· abc news· talking points· treason· national security

19:36 If well, you know this this came up when it was first revealed people kept citing this I mean all the talk show guys and comey just overlooked it right he says I know there's got to be this intent intent intent and If you remember that first clip, I just played mm-hmm The thing that I wanted to point out about that clip after we started to wrap this up is the new element that seems to have been added to And I believe they've added this. I think somebody added this for the purposes of getting her. And it was like, you intend to come see that intent. And I had to have intent. Yes. And there was another one. And then this one here, which I've never heard before. And you can play that clip again. It's pretty short just to hear it. But it's disloyalty to the country. You mean the PBS one? Yeah. But no, no, no, no. The ABC one. Disloyalty to the country.

20:32 You never heard that before, have you? I've heard it in a different form, people saying, treasonous, treason, treason. Yeah, but that's not what he ever said. No, he never said that. There was a... No one briefed the congressman from Ohio, Tim Ryan, Democrat, that the talking points had changed. So he tried to pull out an old one, resulting in an epic fail. Well, as I said, I don't think it's going to have a whole lot of effect on the current electorate, but I will say this, where have these documents, where did they come from? How did the FBI get to them? Where are they? We have all this stuff going on with Russia right now that we don't really even know if some have been manipulated or not manipulated.

21:13 Why didn't the FBI have these documents through all of the different investigations that they went through on this where the FBI said that you know She didn't do anything wrong that you may be careless But that was it and that there would have had to been this huge Conspiracy of 300 people in the State Department on her that would have been conspiring That's just a fraction of the conspiracy, my friend. So the question is, where did these documents come from? How did they get to the FBI? Is Russia involved in this? We don't have any clue of where this stuff is coming from. We have a big clue where it's coming from, you idiot. He didn't read the memo. He didn't. Another one of those guys, these guys are so lax. You know they get memos.

22:13 Oh yeah, I don't. We've heard, I think on every other show we've had one of these boneheads. Anyway, I want to get back to this disloyalty to the country thing which has been added to the laundry list. I think it's been added because as I listened to all the reports from all over the place, there was one of the things that came up in a... Oh, actually, I think I have a clip. Okay. This is Democracy Now. And this is a clip of, this is a rundown on the emails, not the ones that they were just revealed because we don't have them, the ones from the Anthony Weiner group. And I want, and I just want to point out the tactic of saying, show us the emails, FBI. That can't happen. It's under, they know that it's under active investigation. It's a bluff. It's a total bluff. Absolutely. Be careful, I'd say. You never know.

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

WikiLeaks Podesta Emails Reveal Clinton Foundation Foreign Influence

Hacked emails from John Podesta's account reveal internal concerns from campaign manager Robby Mook regarding "foundation vulnerability points" involving foreign governments. Documents show the Swedish government lobbied the State Department to avoid sanctions on Ericsson while simultaneously donating $26 million to the Clinton Foundation. Additionally, aide Doug Band described for-profit activities benefiting Bill Clinton as "Bill Clinton, Inc.," involving millions in speaking fees.

23:00 Well, I think it'd be funny if they did. Now, Amy Goodman comes out with, you know, because there are everyone, some of these alternative news media are actually looking at some of the stuff from WikiLeaks and the Podesta emails, which, you know, we've looked at it, but it's like, there's a lot of stuff to go through. She's come up with some new, three new things. And one of them, just coincidentally, I don't think she's aware of it, I think involves disloyalty to the country. In election news, hacked emails from the account of Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta, show several of her top aides were privately concerned about how the actions of the Clinton Foundation could impact her campaign.

23:40 Campaign manager Robbie Mook sent one email with the subject line of foundation vulnerability points. In the email, he listed three points—quote—money from foreign governments, overseas events with foreign leaders or government officials and potential conflicts from overseas-owned organizations, parentheses, U.K. and Sweden. The Clinton Foundation raised $26 million from the Swedish government. At the same time, the government was lobbying Hillary Clinton's State Department to not sanction Swedish businesses from working with Iran. The Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson had sold Iran equipment that could be used to track its citizens. Meanwhile, another tracked—another hacked email, written by one of Bill Clinton's closest aides, shows how former

24:30 President Clinton has personally profited from work tied to the foundation. The aide, Doug Band, writes that he helped secure $50 million in speaking fees and other ventures that went directly to Bill Clinton. In the email, Band described the for-profit activity of President Clinton as, quote, Bill Clinton, Inc. Meanwhile, in another hacked email, Chelsea Clinton accused her father's aides of taking, quote, significant sums of money from my parents personally. Yeah, which you heard on NOAAgenda First weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah. Because we read the emails. So I'm thinking that deal with the Swedes to allow them to do the trade with Iran, which is not kosher. Which I will remind you, the deal with the Swedes was from the Swedish lottery. Remember? Yeah. They got it from the lottery, directly from the people. So this is an example of disloyalty to the country.

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

Carl Bernstein Labels FBI Email Discovery a Bombshell

Journalist Carl Bernstein characterized the FBI's discovery of new emails as a "bombshell" that poses the greatest threat to Hillary Clinton's candidacy. Bernstein argued that Director James Comey would not have taken the unprecedented step of notifying Congress unless the information required serious investigation. He suggested that Clinton should take the initiative to speak with the FBI to clarify the situation for the American public before the election.

carl bernstein· cnn· fbi· bombshell· watergate

25:36 Carl Bernstein, and I have a response clip to Carl Bernstein, of course, we've talked about him a couple times. He apparently wrote the definitive book on the Clintons. That's the way he's introduced continuously. I believe he's hired by CNN. Here was his initial response. Carl Bernstein is on the phone with me and Carl, we have been talking for months and months and months about this election. You wrote the definitive book on the Clintons, on Hillary Clinton. You've been saying that this is the drip, drip, drip that could ultimately haunt her. There's no question that the emails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president. That her conduct in regard to the emails is really indefensible.

26:15 and if there was going to be more information that came out, it is the one thing, as I said on the air last night actually, that could really perhaps affect this election. We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying that there is more information out there about classified emails and call it to the attention of the Congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation.

26:56 So that's where we are. Is it a certainty that we won't learn before the election? I'm not sure it's a certainty that we won't learn before the election. One thing is, it's possible, I suppose, that Hillary Clinton might want to on her own initiative Talk to the FBI and find out what she can. And if she chooses to, let the American people know what she thinks or knows is going on. Because obviously, people are going to need to hear from her. Yeah. I don't think that's going to happen, Carl.

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

MSNBC Panel Debates FBI Procedure and Huma Abedin's Role

An MSNBC panel led by Joy Reid dismissed the FBI's recent actions as a violation of traditional procedure and an attempt to influence the election. Panelists defended Huma Abedin, characterizing her as a dedicated worker married to a "creep," while arguing that Hillary Clinton's use of a private server was not malicious. The discussion highlighted a divide between those viewing the emails as a national security issue and those viewing the FBI's letter as a breach of protocol.

joy reid· steve cortes· msnbc· huma abedin· fbi procedure

27:32 I remember that whistleblower who gives his long to one of the NSA whistleblowers, I can't remember, one of the three or four guys, who gives these speeches, he's still irked. He says, whatever you do in your entire life, never talk to the FBI. Bad idea. Well, Bernstein came up in, I got to inject some humor now, Bernstein came up in the panel discussion with Morning Joy, AM Joy, Joy Reid, MSNBC, the new superstar over there at MSNBC, and had Steve Cortes on, who I guess by then would be considered a Trump operative. Maybe they called him surrogate, I don't know, but probably operative. And he brings up the Bernstein

28:17 Comment and just listen. When what we're really talking about is an aid to a politician printing things out for her boss. This is the talking point from MSNBC, John. She was just printing stuff out for her boss and just being a good little worker bee. And unfortunately being married to a creep. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I think then we could say Hillary Clinton is also unfortunately married to a creep, can't we? No, seriously. Yeah, I mean, you know, inserting cigars and stuff. Come on. The guys are creeps. All right. And yeah.

28:53 There's a lot of loaded stuff in there, you know, just calling someone's husband a creep like that for her boss and unfortunately being married to a creep. If that now becomes the basis to cast a broad sweeping aspersion on somebody who could yet be president of the United States, politics only goes downhill from there. Steve, is that the kind of politics you want to be a part of? Well, look, I think we do have to be careful. We don't know that the crime was committed, I suspect, but we don't know that. But when you say, by the way, this is something mundane... He can't believe it when he says, I suspect. You suspect? I love this. But when you say, by the way, this is something mundane, when you say it's mundane, let me tell you someone who doesn't agree. And it's not from me. It's not from the Trump camp. Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame, someone who knows quite a bit about... Do you hear that? Do you hear the panel laughing?

29:44 Why are they laughing? Oh, Carl Bernstein, ha ha, he's a moron. It's not from the Trump camp. Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame, someone who knows quite a bit. Just cracking up, just cracking up. They think it's hilarious. Of Watergate fame, someone who knows quite a bit about political scandal. Carl Bernstein said this is quote, bombshell. He said it is unthinkable that the director of the FBI would take this action lightly. So he believes it's a bombshell. I think most of the American public understands that this is a bombshell. And it is yet more evidence that Hillary Clinton is disqualified from serving as our commander in chief. Stop him! I think it's my turn. Now listen to this woman is great. It's my turn!

30:29 It's my turn to take them on. Please. Yeah, you're winning. The bottom line, the bottom line. Get ready for say your witness. I don't know. She may have. I mean, I didn't hear that. Your witness. Yeah, she did. Oh my God. Good catch. Both please. Yeah. Your witness. Your witness. All right, here's the bottom line. The bottom line. Now the FBI is supposed to be doing this secretively and going about their business instead of coming within an 11 day period to possibly change the election. That was wrong. That is going against procedure. No stop. What procedure? Now we're talking about... What procedure? Yes, she says procedure. That's going against procedure.

31:08 We have a lot of going against tradition, going against procedure. So going against tradition is, um, uh releasing your taxes which is not a requirement but is going against tradition and now we have oh yes going against tradition here to possibly change the election going against procedure that was wrong that is going against procedure and let's go back to something that james comey said in july when he did say he was not going to charge hillary clinton we have to remember that that he said Wait for it. He said out of his own mouth that he would not charge Hillary Clinton. He also- No, okay. And I need to insert this too. The FBI does not charge, does not indict, does not prosecute.

31:52 And you can just hear the bullshit coming out of these people's mouths. FBI does not, they give a recommendation, it's the Department of Justice, Attorney General, it is not the FBI. He said, he said out of his own mouth that he would not charge Hillary Clinton. He also said when you talk about this national security issue, he said that whatever she did, even though it was careless, he said she did not do anything malicious against this country or to aid us. country. So there you go John, there's your treason. You have to remember that as well when you try to bring in the issue of national security. So what is this really? The fact that they have a server, a former president, a private server, a former president and a former secretary of state. They can't use AOL. They can't use Google. They can't use the typical thing. What is she trying to say? Because you're elite and you can't use Google or AOL? Everyone seems to be doing it.

32:43 They're all using Gmail and hello AOL, hello 1990s. They can't use AOL, they can't use Google, they can't use the typical thing. It's not about the server, it's just about the fact of what could possibly have been in these emails. So am I right or wrong? You're wrong. I'm sorry, we are running out of time. I gotta give Joe. They go into a huge argument, but they're wrong. This morning I caught two interviews of note the first one with Robbie Mook the campaign manager who looks like he's about 12 Yes, he looks like about 12 very young guy. He must be very effete. He might a feat. What does that mean a feat? A feat a feat feet. What does that mean a feat ee ee F e t t I think you look it up. Okay? EF e f f

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

Robby Mook Confronted Over False Claims Regarding Comey Letter

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook was questioned regarding Hillary Clinton's false claim that James Comey's letter was only sent to Republican members of Congress. Evidence showed the letter was addressed to both Republican chairmen and ranking Democratic members. Mook deflected the inaccuracy by focusing on the lack of specific details in the FBI's disclosure and calling for the immediate release of all discovered emails.

robby mook· james comey· hillary clinton· republican chairmen· cnn

33:28 I think it's EF, maybe two Fs, maybe. EFITE. Oh yeah, two Fs, ETE. Affected, over-refined, ineffectual. EFITE. That's good, I like it. We'll keep it. So the EFITE Mr. Robbie Mook has to admit that Hillary Clinton lied that this was only sent to Republicans. Which is what was immediately said. Immediately that was talking point number one. Oh this only went to Republicans, haha. Well we know that there's corruption, collusion, conspiracy. However, unfortunately that was not true. If they're going to be sending this kind of letter that is only... I'm not sure what this is. I thought this was my Robbie Mook clip. Hold on.

34:15 Republican members that they- Robbie, why would she say something that- Ah, okay, I'm sorry. Now I know what I did. Here's Clinton lying and then the question to Robbie Mook. If they're going to be sending this kind of letter that is only going originally to Republican members of the House that they need to share whatever facts they claim to have with the American people. Robby, why would she say something that is so flatly untrue? I have a copy here. It's not very long. It's the letter that Comey sent to Congress on the front page. It's got the eight Republican chairman of the committees. If you just turn it over, next page, you got the eight top Democrats on the committee.

34:57 Why would she say that it was just sent to the Republicans when in fact it was sent to the Republicans and Democrats? What would you answer, John? I would answer, because I listened to what she said. She said it was first sent to the Republicans, which could be maybe by a millisecond. It could be by a minute or two. It could be by an hour. Yeah, no, you're right. If you don't know. Yeah, yeah. Certainly if you have to turn the page. Yeah, and this takes a long time to turn that page. You know, Chris, this has been really overhyped. Well, she said it. I didn't. We were all surprised by this letter. She looked at the front page. And as you just said yourself on the front page of that memo, it lists those Republican chairs where the Democrats cc'd on at the end of the letter. Absolutely. She looked at the front page of the letter. She is acknowledged. We all acknowledge this was sent to everybody again. What we're concerned and disturbed by

35:50 is that director Comey sent a letter saying we have some information I don't know if it's significant I don't know if it isn't he didn't say where it came from he didn't say what it was about he didn't even say whether these emails were sent or received by Hillary Clinton and furthermore another hypothetical that's out there is that these are duplicates that have already been released. Director Comey owes it to the American people releasing this just a matter of days before the election to provide all all the information. That's why we're asking just get all of it out there and the voters can judge for themselves. We think the voters actually want to hear about what these two candidates are going to do to make a difference in their lives. Sorry, Robbie, that doesn't work. And then the big scoop. Jake Tapper, Jake Tapper gets the man Podesta on himself. This is the brains behind the operation.

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

John Podesta Criticizes James Comey for Unprecedented Election Interference

John Podesta appeared on CNN to criticize FBI Director James Comey for taking "unprecedented" action that interferes with the democratic process. Host Jake Tapper challenged Podesta by playing clips of Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine previously praising Comey's integrity. Podesta maintained that the FBI's disclosure was "long on innuendo and short on facts," demanding a full explanation for the timing of the announcement.

john podesta· jake tapper· james comey· tim kaine· election interference

36:40 Let's listen. So John, yesterday you slammed FBI Director Comey for going- Slammed? Really? When is this- is this ever gonna stop? This slamming, this hammering, this- all of this stuff? Hammering! So John, yesterday you slammed FBI Director Comey for going quote long on innuendo, light on facts. But frankly for months your campaign has been striking a very different note when it comes to Director Comey. Take a listen to vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine just one week ago. What I do know is this, that there was an extensive, as you know Brad, investigation by the FBI under the direction of a wonderful

37:19 a tough career public servant, Jim Comey. Jim was in the US Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia when I was the mayor. And he's somebody with the highest standards of integrity. I would say... Woah! You got butt-slapped! Highest standards of integrity, wonderful, tough, career public servant. How do you use those words and then call his actions on Friday into question? Well Jake, look, this was an unprecedented action. Look, look! unprecedented policy of Democratic and Republican Justice Departments. It was done over the advice of senior Justice Department officials. And, you know, I think that the Justice Department has had a long tradition of not interfering in election coming. There's a tradition again, John. Tradition, tradition. We don't do this outside of procedure. 11 days before the election.

38:13 That's all they have to go on is, well this is unprecedented. It's not tradition. As I said yesterday, it was long on innuendo, short on facts. So we're calling on Mr. Comey to come forward. There was no innuendo. No, the facts were there. We found some emails. We got to check them out. They could be pertinent. to our investigation. So I think this is something that has been tossed into the middle of a campaign. We would have preferred that that not happen, but now that it has happened, Mr. Comey really needs to come forward and explain why he took this unprecedented step, particularly when he said himself in the letter to The Hill that these may not even be significant. Nope, might not even be significant. Quick entremont?

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

Donald Trump Softballs George Stephanopoulos on Clinton Foundation

During an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Donald Trump turned a question about his campaign regrets back on the host. When asked if there was anything he would do over, Trump suggested that Stephanopoulos might regret his own past contributions to the Clinton Foundation. The exchange highlighted the ongoing tension between Trump and mainstream media figures with ties to the Clinton administration.

donald trump· george stephanopoulos· clinton foundation· regrets· abc news

39:14 That's honesty. Yeah, yeah. Why not? There's more, but an entremont, a quick one, 20 seconds of George Stephanopoulos and Donald Trump. When you look back over the sweep of this campaign, going back to last June, is there anything you regret? Oh, absolutely. I'd love to have done certain things over, but you can't. You can't. But that's true in life. I'd love to have done in life certain things over, I guess. And you would have too. Give me one. You would have loved not to have contributed to the Clinton Foundation as an example. There are things that you wish you didn't do, okay? His face is priceless in that. Wow. You get clip of the day for that. Oh, thank you. He throws him a softball. What does he expect? So easy.

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Huma Abedin's Cooperation and Potential Perjury Concerns

John Podesta defended Huma Abedin's cooperation with authorities despite the discovery of State Department emails on a laptop she shared with Anthony Weiner. Abedin had previously testified under oath in a Judicial Watch lawsuit that she had turned over all devices containing government work. Critics suggest the discovery of this additional computer could lead to perjury charges or evidence that she mishandled classified data by forwarding it to personal accounts for printing.

huma abedin· judicial watch· john podesta· perjury· state department

40:05 Can you answer, can you give me one example? Yeah, you donating to the Clinton Foundation. Ro-ro! No, actually... I do have one more clip about Hillary. First of all, that deserves a... Do you want to hear the second Podesta first and then go to your clip? No, no, I go. The reason no, maybe you should play that first because this is a kind of a deconstruction I got. OK, but doesn't interfere with the Podesta line. Yeah, we just want information. That's all we're trying to get. So as part of this judicial watch lawsuit, Huma Abedin had to testify under oath. And this is important because we have a lot of different investigations, et cetera, going on. Judicial Watch is playing it the right way. They're playing it.

40:46 uh... to four year and uh... the judge said okay yeah i mean these guys are good at it i don't know who's funding them other than republicans obviously definitely not sorrows no not not this time so as part of this judicial watch lawsuit whom abiding had to testify under oath and she said quote I looked for all the devices that may have had any of my State Department work on it and returned, returned, gave them to my attorneys for them to review for all relevant documents and gave them devices and paper. Obviously this other computer was not included in that group. Have you asked? abedin why she did not turn over this computer that is now being reviewed by the fbi look at that i think who was in completely operative with the authorities are and and they've recognized that uh... she's worked with her attorneys to turn over relevant material uh... but we don't know what this is all about really so it's it's very hard john she what hasn't been completely cooperative if she didn't turn over every device that had

41:45 State Department emails on them and this one computer did it. I think it's clear that she complied to the best of her ability to turn everything over that she had in her possession. I don't know anything more than the speculation that's running wild in the press now about what this is about. I've talked to her of course. Have you asked Huma Abedin what is on that computer and why she didn't turn it over when she said she had divided all the devices? We don't know what computer Mr. Comey is talking about. You're assuming a lot of facts that we don't know. So I think that, as I said, she's been fully cooperative.

42:21 with the authorities and they have recognized that. I think that we can sit here and speculate and put facts into the record based on... I'm not speculating, sir. Our reporting is that it was a laptop computer that belonged to Anthony Weiner and they found State Department emails on that laptop. That's reporting, that's not speculation. You have access to Huma Abedin. I don't. Have you asked her? how this i don't think she knows anything more than then uh... what we've seen uh... in the press today so i don't know i'm sure if uh... you know if people are you know uh... is uh... the proper stories when i ask a question of the last two questions that she's been fully cooperative in this investigation has very good okay

43:02 And again, I'll say she probably didn't know. She probably did not know, but she was downloading class. She was sending classified documents to her Yahoo email to print them out, to send to Hillary. And Wiener sat there and just copied them and put them in a little folder called life insurance. Because, you know, let's face it, the guy knows how the Clintons operate. Two to the head. He's what a troublemaker this guy is. Oh, he is. Can you believe how mad they must be? Can you imagine the meetings? I'd love to be in one. And Podesta's gotta be just crapping his pants. He's getting burned every which way.

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

Judge Napolitano on Espionage Risks for Huma Abedin

Judge Andrew Napolitano discussed the legal implications for Huma Abedin, noting that she could face espionage charges for failing to secure state secrets. Napolitano suggested that if Abedin inadvertently or deliberately shared classified information with Anthony Weiner, she would be in violation of her top-level security clearance. Speculation remains as to whether Abedin will seek immunity from the FBI in exchange for testimony against the Clintons.

judge andrew napolitano· huma abedin· espionage· security clearance· immunity

43:39 They got his emails, he's trying to be a stooge now, he has to go in front of everybody. He seemed like a guy who never liked to go on these interview shows. Oh, not at all. So he's up there. I know you have a deconstruction clip, but maybe a quick word from Judge Napolitano on why Huma is history? We'll see. Judge, what are the implications of Uma Abedin Now, we don't know again what is happening, but the fact that the FBI is saying that classified information was found on devices owned or used rather by Uma Abedin and Anthony Weiner. What is the implication of Uma Abedin sharing classified information, whatever level it was, with Anthony Weiner, her ex-husband? They were married at the time. Go ahead. That would be bad political news. Hold on a second. Do you think they're divorced already?

44:33 She just said they were married at the time. Do you think the divorce is already final? I haven't heard anything. I'll check while we listen to the rest of the clip. They were married at the time. Go ahead. That would be bad political news for Mrs. Clinton, but it would be good legal news for her if the target of this is Huma Abedin and not Mrs. Clinton. Huma Abedin from time to time has had a top level security clearance. because she was the number two advisor to Mrs. Clinton and was an employee of the State Department. If she violated that security clearance by passing top secret or confidential information on to her husband, or if she did so inadvertently by sharing

45:20 She could very well be charged with espionage, the failure to secure state secrets that have been proposed to you for safekeeping. That's the same charge that they investigated and cleared Mrs. Clinton for earlier this summer. I don't think they're divorced. I think they're just separated. There's no notice of... I think it was just a misspeaking. Yeah, but it's important in this particular case now. I'm not so sure that it is. For testifying? Yeah, but they don't need his testimony. They got the laptop. Well, I'm pretty sure that right now, Uma Abedin is cutting a deal with FBI immunity. We'll see if her loyalty is with the Clintons. We'll see. Well, in the olden days, or the way we see it in the movies,

46:12 If the FBI knows what they're doing, they will start to threaten her the way they did with Martha Stewart and everybody else. You know, we're going to throw the book at you if you don't come around. You know, again, we see, you know, Clinton's, you know, Hillary, you know her very well. She's going to throw you under the bus. No, the only the only person going under the bus is Anthony Weiner and probably literally. Yeah, I know. What was that? The bus just rolled over and his life insurance policy has been revealed. Isn't that great? They have any leverage now? Isn't that great? I love that. All right. You had a deconstruction clip. Yeah, this is interesting because I want you. We can do the same thing. Hillary is very good at deflecting

46:55 And this is Cecilia Vega. This is ABC. This is she was covering the The fact that the plane didn't have Wi-Fi for some reason. Oh, no. No, I think they turned it off I'm pretty sure they turned it off. I I don't know if that jet has Wi-Fi at all But whatever was going on very good save. Oh You're welcome. What was ever going on was Cecilia had, she was used to one behind the line, they had a camera on her. The news guys are doing this more now. They take the correspondent and they put the camera on the correspondent in the pile of people yelling, hey, Hillary, what do you think of this? And then I don't know why they do it. I think it's dumb.

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Deflects Voter Trust Questions in Iowa

Hillary Clinton utilized a structured deflection technique when asked by ABC's Cecilia Vega about voters who do not trust her. Instead of addressing trust, Clinton claimed that voters had already "factored in" the email issue and were now focused on choosing a president. Additionally, reports surfaced that the Clinton campaign plane's Wi-Fi was intentionally disabled to prevent reporters from receiving news of the FBI's letter while in flight.

46:12 If the FBI knows what they're doing, they will start to threaten her the way they did with Martha Stewart and everybody else. You know, we're going to throw the book at you if you don't come around. You know, again, we see, you know, Clinton's, you know, Hillary, you know her very well. She's going to throw you under the bus. No, the only the only person going under the bus is Anthony Weiner and probably literally. Yeah, I know. What was that? The bus just rolled over and his life insurance policy has been revealed. Isn't that great? They have any leverage now? Isn't that great? I love that. All right. You had a deconstruction clip. Yeah, this is interesting because I want you. We can do the same thing. Hillary is very good at deflecting

46:55 And this is Cecilia Vega. This is ABC. This is she was covering the The fact that the plane didn't have Wi-Fi for some reason. Oh, no. No, I think they turned it off I'm pretty sure they turned it off. I I don't know if that jet has Wi-Fi at all But whatever was going on very good save. Oh You're welcome. What was ever going on was Cecilia had, she was used to one behind the line, they had a camera on her. The news guys are doing this more now. They take the correspondent and they put the camera on the correspondent in the pile of people yelling, hey, Hillary, what do you think of this? And then I don't know why they do it. I think it's dumb.

47:40 But Cecilia Vega finally got a hold of Hillary and got to answer or ask her an interesting question, which Hillary didn't even come close to answering. She just went in a very structured way, and I think we can break down the structure of this. of answering a different question. What would you say to a voter who right now will be seeing you and hearing what you're saying, saying, I didn't trust her before, I don't trust her anymore right now? You know, I think people a long time ago made up their minds about the emails. I think that's factored in to what people think and now they're choosing a president.

48:17 And Cecilia Vega joins us live tonight from Iowa. And Cecilia, do they truly sense this could affect the outcome of the election? Well, David, their outrage today certainly suggests that they are nervous about this. They are furious that this came 11 days before Election Day. You can kill that part. We know this. It's anyways, the back and forth. She asked her whether or not people can trust her. It's a trust thing, which I think was a way that I think they snuck that in. Yeah, of course. So they dropped that in and Hillary structures her answer by not answering. She never says anything about people not trusting her. She starts with no. You start your... At the beginning of all these answers, you start with no, and then you deflect.

49:05 By bringing up another topic, she says, no, people know about the emails, but that wasn't about emails. She didn't ask her about emails. She just asked her about trust. She says, no, everybody knows about the emails. And then she says, it's factored in, which is again, now she's taking a completely off topic. Starts with a no the emails have been factored in and then she said and then she makes the transition to the and she used the word now Mm-hmm. So she says now we're talking about electing a president. Let me I think we should play it again. It's short enough. I It's very interesting. I love it. I love it. And not only that, but it's solid. What would you say to a voter who right now will be seeing you and hearing what you're saying, saying, I didn't trust her before. I don't trust her anymore right now. You know, I think people a long time ago made up their minds about the emails. I think that's factored into what people think. And now they're choosing a president.

50:05 And Cecilia Vega just live tonight from Iowa and Cecilia do they truly sense this could affect the outcome of the election? Well, they were their outrage today certainly suggests that they are nervous about this They are furious that this came 11 days before election day. This was a total bombshell to them Yeah, I think that you're spot-on there spot-on I sent you a link. She does that all the time. She's constantly doing it. I don't think she's ever answered anything unless it's a setup. I sent you a link in the Skype. If you open it, you'll see the Clinton plane with GoGo WiFi on board sticker. Okay. Maybe they didn't want to pay the 10 bucks. No, they turned it off. Come on. You know how they are. Of course they had to turn it off.

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

Geraldo Rivera and Vladimir Putin Comment on US Election

Geraldo Rivera echoed Democratic talking points by claiming the FBI violated a "tradition" of non-interference in elections. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed allegations of Russian influence on the U.S. election, questioning if the United States had become a "banana republic." Putin argued that the American elite use the "Russian spy" narrative to distract from domestic issues like public debt and police violence.

geraldo rivera· vladimir putin· banana republic· election interference· russia

50:52 Yeah. Ooh, ooh. Another one of my predictions comes true. This is Geraldo, by the way. Listen to what he says. By the way, that totally shows that Geraldo is a shill. Because he's using the talking points, tradition. Oh, he's already come out for Hillary. Oh yeah, shill, by way. As a tradition of not interfering with the electoral process. Here we're 11 days from the most significant election in our lifetime, maybe. And the FBI is intruding in this way that I think is very, very profound. I think that- Hey, wait, no, wait, it's just, wait. Six seconds, don't step on it. Is intruding in this way that I think is very, very profound.

51:44 I think that there must be some there, there. I can't imagine. Oh, please. Maybe listen to that. Now, here's the thing. What he says is not, it's a tradition for the FBI not to interfere with the election. When has it ever happened that you had some felon or would-be felon running for offices under investigation? I'm sorry. For espionage. We can't do that. Where the FBI would get involved. And the FBI has only been in business since what, the 30s, 1920s, I guess? Yeah. So what kind of a tradition is this? No tradition. This situation has never occurred, so you can't have a tradition. It's fabulous. It's a tradition, John. Like Christmas. It's just a tradition. Oh, man. Amidst all of this. And I haven't seen this clip play. Oh, why is this clip now not operating? OK. What? Don't make sounds like that.

52:40 I have to play this a different way. Putin. Putin. Putin. Putin. Yes, our friend. Putin! Putin. He came out and he talked very... Oh, can't be opened. Okay, well that's fucked. Damn, it's can't be open. Oh damn. Hey. They got into your machine, man. Yeah, anyway. It was Putin saying what? What is America? Banana Republic? No, we can't influence them. That was basically the clip. I don't know what happened to it. It's zero bites. Zero bites. Thanks everybody. Zero bites. Zero bites. Thanks. Damn it. Yeah. Damn it.

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

Mike Pence Plane Skids Off LaGuardia Airport Runway

A campaign plane carrying Republican Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence skidded off the runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport during a rainstorm. The aircraft, an Eastern Airlines Boeing 737, fishtailed before being stopped by an EMAS arrestor bed, preventing it from sliding onto a nearby highway. Air traffic control audio revealed the tower urgently commanding the pilot to stop while a following JetBlue flight was forced to go around.

mike pence· laguardia airport· eastern airlines· arrestor bed· aviation safety

53:20 I only have two things. I have that leaked audio of Hillary Clinton talking about interfering with the Palestinian election, but it's so poor in quality that I almost don't want to play it. Yeah, we can't hear it. But she says, She says, hey, you know, if we're going to have, we should have known that we should have at least done something to make sure we knew who was going to win. It's something you can look at in the show notes. What I thought would be kind of fun since we all saw Mike Pence's aircraft run off the runway. Actually, I have a clip of the three accidents that all happened at once. Okay, let's listen to those first. Three plane wrecks, here we go. The 767 wide-body jet was headed for Miami. Officials first thought the plane blew a tire and had to abort. Now, American says an engine-related issue caused the fire. The fire, seen by passengers landing nearby.

54:12 The towering smoke visible from blocks away. The entire right wing melted. And David, back here at O'Hare tonight you can see that aircraft still surrounded by emergency vehicles. Officials say at least 20 people who were on the plane are being treated for minor injuries. David? Alex Perez right there in Chicago. Alex, thank you. And now the picture's coming in at this hour from Fort Lauderdale. Another airplane scare late today. A FedEx cargo plane exploding into flames on the runway. You can hear the gasps there. The main landing gear collapsed as it was landing. No injuries reported. We'll stay on this. There are also new developments tonight in the dangerous close call for Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence. His campaign plane skidding off the runway during a storm at New York's LaGuardia Airport last night.

54:58 and saying he could feel the plane fishtail before finally sliding into a safety feature called an arrestor bed stopping short of a highway here in New York. Okay, couple of things. One, regarding the American Airlines flight, everybody who saw that video, please remember that because it was the flight attendants who kept everybody safe. That's their job to get your sorry ass out of the plane. And when I see people who like, you know, they were like, Oh, let me just grab my bag from the overhead bin. The flight attendants, you may think they're a-holes, but they're there to keep you safe. And that's what they did. A lot of misreporting and what happens off the runway. No, they did not skid off the runway.

55:43 LaGuardia airport has a relatively short runway anyway. I think it's 5,000 feet. 7,000 is kind of normal. It's reasonably short. It's grooved so that because of the weather in New York and water issues, but still there is aquaplaning possible. And all the pilots report as they're landing and say, okay, here's the tower. We'll say, how was braking? Yeah, what? Nothing no sorry. There was a new tower with the towel say how was breaking a medium. Okay, so it was kind of okay I think what happened here is pilots always want to make a smooth landing. And particularly when it's wet, there was a lot going on. And, you know, they somehow they started to aquaplane. They did not skid off the runway. They just kept going all the way until the end. And then there's this, it's actually called a cam. There's this substance that the minute you go over it with something heavy, like an aircraft, it

56:37 It breaks down, crushes and turns into dust and that shit will slow you down real quick. And that's what it's there for. I thought it'd be fun to listen to the air traffic control of the incident because no one would be fun. Yeah, it's just a little different. The flight is Eastern, I think, thirty four fifty nine. So that's Eastern thirty four fifty two cleared to land runway two to an American flight. No, this is the Pence plane. Oh, the Pence plane, okay, right. Pence plane is leased and it's Eastern 3452. And confirm Eastern 3452 is cleared to land. Eastern 3452, running 623 to land, wind 110 at 900, traffic is departing, holding position runway 13. Cleared to land Eastern 3452, copy traffic. Air shuttle 6334, left Yankee, left Bravo, contact ground 27 to make. Thank you for landing, clearance for JFLI 1640. JFLI 1640, running 623 to land, traffic holding position 13.

57:33 Okay, so now JetBlue is right behind him and they're now landing. They're halfway over the runway and I think they really land, they touch down way too late to stop in time. Eastern stop, stop, Eastern. Eastern stop, stop, stop, stop. Go around, go around, JetBlue 1640. JetBlue 1640, down to go. So JetBlue can't land, they're going around. And this plane, you can see it, they just, all the way into the end of the runway. 2000. We have an emergency in the airport. JetBlue 1198, go around, so I run ahead and climb into 2000. Any four vehicles in this frequency, LaGuardia Tower? LaGuardia Tower, you got a 9-0. All right, you aware of the accident, correct? Affirmative, on my way.

58:16 And that's it. Not too dramatic, but stop Eastern, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! So not off the runway, just at the end of the runway. But you know what? Everybody walks away, good landing. Yeah. That's what I say. I just thought it was odd there were so many writer. You know of course this is three three is like three random number for you It's like when three celebrities died people always like to you know moan about that when it's something that happens a lot So not all that spectacular, but you know good one. Yeah, it was I'm sure it was bumpy Stop please stop don't do this stop stop stop

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

Predictions of Anthony Weiner's Potential Demise

Speculation arose regarding the physical safety of Anthony Weiner following the FBI's seizure of his laptop. Predictions were made that Weiner might be "suicided" before the election to prevent him from testifying or to allow the blame for the email scandal to be placed entirely on him. The discussion noted the high stakes for the Clinton campaign and the potential for Weiner to be viewed as a liability that needs to be removed.

anthony weiner· suicide prediction· clinton associates· life insurance· legal jeopardy

59:10 All right, anything else on this, on emails or anything like that that we want to talk about? Other than, you know, maybe just the deconstruction, to me it seems, Wiener was collecting the emails. They include emails that were supposed to have been deleted. They were emails that were supposed to have been deleted and that's the felony. Or is it a felony? Probably. It's, well, it violates 2071. So that means that And the other one, which is 68, I think 2068, which by executive order, by the law that was put in place, you can no longer serve public office. That's what they're going for now. Yeah. I will bring it. You can dredge up all these old laws are not going to enforce them. Well, so here's the question. We just looking at this, you're a grunt in the army.

1:00:05 Or even, no, didn't a four-star general just recently get convicted for doing the same thing? Yes. Yeah, so if you're a four-star general. So... So? So, well, so... Oh! So? So. Okay. Is Comey, has he, I've always asserted he's Team Trump. Trump has been very kind, even when they've missed him. I've asserted that from day one. Yeah, well, we both asserted, fine. But then it seemed like he wasn't Team Trump. I've always interpreted everything he's done as pro-Trump, including not indicting Hillary. Well, this is certainly doing it. Certainly. It's the best he can do. I mean, what else can he do? He can't really do anything because Loretta Lynch is not going to let him get away with

1:00:56 I mean she seems like the corrupt one to me. Yeah. She's not gonna put up with it. She'll just fire him. Well never a warning. Error in action of duty, not following orders. What will the next steps be? What do you think this... Something's gonna happen today I'm sure. What will the steps be? Well it's a show day so something has to happen. Always has.

CHAPTER 18 / 41 Discussion

No Agenda Episode 873 Introduction and Al Sharpton Montage

Hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak opened the 10th year of the No Agenda show, noting a lack of anniversary artwork from the "producers." A donation from "Sir Grant Siner" prompted a montage of Al Sharpton's verbal gaffes on MSNBC. The hosts discussed Sharpton's high salary despite his frequent on-air mistakes and the specific demographic of the MSNBC audience.

Kinetic kill I think is the title of that one and I do have a note here that we have to say it was surprising that We had pretty much no anniversary art You know, in fact, zero. We were stunned by that. Zero anniversary art. Zero. Well, at least we lectured the artist not to do anything that's taught timely. In other words, with a show number or something like that, because we might want to use it in the future. But I think it was somebody could take a lark on an anniversary piece of art. Yeah, it didn't happen. Nobody did. Did not happen. All right. Let's thank some people. John?

Executive Producer Credits and Knighting of Sir Mark Klein

Mark Klein was knighted as the "Knight of Barron County, Wisconsin" following a substantial donation to the show. Other top donors included Arthur Sucher and David Roberts, who were credited as Associate Executive Producers. The segment included the traditional "knighting" ceremony and a discussion of the show's value as "mental hygiene" for listeners who have abandoned mainstream media.

CHAPTER 20 / 41 Discussion

Green Party Candidate Margaret Flowers Removed from Maryland Debate

Dr. Margaret Flowers, the Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, was forcibly removed from a stage after demanding inclusion in a televised debate. Flowers argued that excluding ballot-qualified candidates disserves democracy and prevents voters from understanding their full range of options. The hosts suggested that third-party candidates need to use "shills" in the audience to create enough of a disturbance to gain national media attention.

margaret flowers· green party· maryland senate· chris van hollen· political debates

1:11:18 I would be, you know, I never thought about it, but I don't have a shingle. For purposes of this show, will you be...do you want me to call you or what are we doing? No, no, we're gonna...I'm just gonna go on with the just straight up advice. This is the Green Party candidate in Maryland who went up onto the stage of a debate and demanded to be allowed It's kind of pathetic, as they dragged her off. She says, but I'm a candidate. You're dragging me along. But this is not Jill Stein. Who is this? No, this is somebody—they explained it. Local. OK. And in Maryland, a debate between the Democratic and Republican Senate candidates was disrupted Wednesday when the Green Party's candidate, Dr. Margaret Flowers, jumped on stage to insist she be allowed to take part. After briefly speaking on the stage, Dr. Flowers was removed by security.

1:12:05 I think it's important for voters to understand the differences between myself and Congressman Dan Holland and Delegate Shaliga. Otherwise, they don't really know. I mean, you say you're a public university and you want to educate the public, but without having a full public discussion, that doesn't make sense. That doesn't actually happen. So how does this serve democracy or serve the public if I'm excluded from this discussion when I'm on the ballot? I don't— It's Dr. Flowers. I'm a candidate for U.S. Senate in Maryland. And this is how you're treating a candidate? The Green Party candidate, Margaret Flowers, was removed from the stage. The debate went on. between Democratic nominee Chris Van Halen and Republican Kathy Seliga. Okay, so there was a debate and then she said I deserve to be on the stage, was that the idea? She went on the stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stood between the two candidates and started your little rant. I love that. I think she should have been on the stage. Why not? It's just Merrill. It's a two-party system.

1:13:00 There's no one else to vote for. Here's what you should have done if you're going to do this sort of thing. You know, there's very simple ways to make this work better and get more attention. She didn't get any attention except on the democracy now. So what you do is you and how many if you if you've got if you're a candidate, there must be some people in the party that happen to be nearby that you could plant. And so you plant about anywhere from five, you could plant 10 people into that debate, because you get into these things, nobody's there. So you put 10 people in the audience, even five, and as soon as they, and you have two people that are very boisterous, and they like it, they're just troublemakers. And you have, or you hire somebody, put a Craigslist ad up, pack the thing, and then you, as they try to drag her, say, you can't drag her out, this is bullshit!

1:13:51 And they have all these guys yelling and screaming and said, leave her, leave her. Yeah. So there's just neutral observers and they would be great. It would be if they'd either have to put a podium up for her or they make such a big stink that they get on national news. I believe the problem with these types of, you know, you have these, we have this idea that everything has to be a party. And I understand why, because you have to get everybody on the ballot in all 50 states. It's a very decentralized system. But unless you have a lot of money to pay everybody and tell them to do what the F you want them to do, you're going to get this. You're going to get a mess. It's just shambles. I do not like political parties at all. And if you know, if you're under some kind of level of radar or financing, it always sucks. It always sucks. Yeah. Yeah. What's your point? My point is it's a two party system. We're screwed. Forget about it. It's over. Well, you can't forget about it. You can also make trouble.

Pussy Riot Releases Anti-Trump Music Video via NPR

Nadia Tolokonnikova, a founding member of the Russian collective Pussy Riot, released a new music video titled "Make America Great Again" targeting Donald Trump. NPR featured the group, focusing on their history of protesting Vladimir Putin and their current opposition to Trump's candidacy. Critics noted the irony of a Russian protest group being used as a propaganda tool by American media outlets to influence domestic politics.

pussy riot· nadia tolokonnikova· npr· donald trump· vladimir putin

1:14:50 You're gonna go up. That's not true. You didn't make any true. You're gonna have some backup in the audience I'm just saying that yeah, you're gonna jump up on stage you have to have shills in the audience I think that's my point if you can they have no organization. They don't know what they're doing Everyone's a little hero. They don't know what they're doing is obvious by the fact that she'd jump up there by herself with nobody backing her up in the audience right competent boneheads hey I have the Putin clip It's about time to zero by one. How did you make that work? I was doing download and doing stuff on the fly hysteria has been fueled within the u.s. With regard to Russia's alleged influence upon the current presidential election Indeed the u.s. Has many acute challenges like the colossal public debt an upsurge in violence with lethal arms use

1:15:46 and arbitrary actions of the police. I think this is what they should talk during the election. Probably, they should talk about that. They do not have much to say. They do not have anything to pacify the society with, so it's far easier to divert the attention of people, to concentrate their efforts on Russia's alleged spies or conduits of influence. I'm wondering, I'd like to pose the same question to you, especially anyone who seriously thinks that Russia can in any way influence the choice of the American people.

1:16:23 As the US, a banana republic, the US is a great power. If I'm wrong, please correct me. There you go. That of course was the translator, not Putin himself. I like that. Finally he said something, but he should say that and he can do it himself. He's an idiot. That's the campaign. He's not that interested. But that's the campaign consulting I'd do. He's not that interested. He just tell you, I don't care, it's too much work. It's like a script. NPR is still a little bit behind the ball on everything. They're still working the Russia angle. And we've always suspected that this group was a great propaganda group. We always suspected they were certainly funded by... Well, I think we, if I recall correctly, we have identified links about money flowing from, I think, the National Endowment for Democracy to them.

1:17:19 Oh yeah, that's the big one. Yeah. And of course, you know, if you're not out there discrediting Putin, well, you might as well, you know, again, you're working for Some American outfit. Yeah, you might as well shift it just a little bit to your to the next big foe Okay, four years ago the world learned the name pussy riot a Russian art collective. No, they're not back Are they? Yep, they're back members of that group staged a punk rock demonstration in a church in protest of Russia's president Vladimir Putin and the Russian churches support of his presidential campaign some members of that group were arrested they were charged with hooliganism and they spent two years in prison and

1:17:59 And wow, NPR is easy to slip over the fact that they did break a lot of laws in the process of doing that. Might not agree with the laws, but they're laws by Russia. Pussy Riot gained many supporters around the world, which some say put pressure on Vladimir Putin to release them. But today, inside Russia, the protest movement is suffering as some prominent opposition politicians have been killed. A lot of Russian people who would consider political action for themselves, they think right now they would be killed because it's not just words right now. It happens. That's Nadia Tolokonikova. She's one of the founding members of Pussy Riot who was imprisoned. And let us all recall the genius of Pussy Riot is anybody can be Pussy Riot. You just need to put the ski mask or the purple or the pink ski mask over your head. So there could be multiple Pussy Riots.

1:18:49 While she still creates art in protest of Vladimir Putin's policies, she's recently set her sights on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Gee, because she hates Russia so much? She has a new song and music video. It is called Make America Great Again. And once again, the music is a piece of crap. But it's so obvious. This is terrible. I didn't catch this. NPR no less. And it goes on forever. Okay. Goes on for NPR. Yeah. NPR, they got time to fill. They got no commercials. Yeah. They just have advertising, advertising, writing, uh, sponsorships, whatever you want to call it. Exactly. So that's back. Good one. Yeah. And that makes nothing but sense.

CHAPTER 22 / 41 Discussion

RT Defends Julian Assange Against Russian Spy Allegations

RT correspondent Anastasia Churkina reported on allegations that Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are operating as conduits for Russian intelligence. The report argued that the "Russian spy" narrative is a convenient excuse for the Clinton campaign to avoid addressing the content of the leaked Podesta emails. It was noted that the emails were likely obtained through a simple phishing expedition rather than a sophisticated state-sponsored hack.

julian assange· wikileaks· rt· john podesta· phishing

1:19:42 That they have to come out against Donald Trump because that would put the kibosh on the Russians. That'll stop Putin. That'll stop him. There you go. Okay, we got... Here's where we're talking about this sort of thing. Here's Russia and WikiLeaks. Apparently Russia and WikiLeaks are in bed together. As WikiLeaks continues to release fresh batches of emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chair. Let me guess, RT? Yeah. Herman, the whistleblowing group's editor Julian Assange has been dubbed a Russian spy. However, he claims Clinton's campaign has in fact tried to hack into the servers of WikiLeaks. RT correspondent Anastasia Churkina reports. You know, it's quite fun to see friends, people I know who are, you know, who were all, oh, WikiLeaks is great. Yeah, when they were exposing Bush and Republicans and

1:20:40 What else did they expose that was fun? Oh, there's tons of stuff. Yeah, but the minute it did the Spotlights turned on someone else then oh, yeah, man. Yeah, son. Just guys a Russian sweet. She sold out What's the only story juicier than making out Russia as the worst of all stop stop? I wanted to just came to mind when we had that thesis about the turning on your country the against Hillary. What was the phrase? Treason. Disloyalty. Disloyalty, right. Disloyalty, there you go. And then Sweden came into play because they mentioned that Hillary would let them do a deal with Iran.

1:21:27 And Sweden obviously is in bed with these people. So the theory that they want to get Hassan out of the Ecuadorian home and then move, grab him and take him to Sweden for simple questioning, and then the US takes him from there. It's so obvious that that's maybe part of even part of that deal with Hillary. Yeah, they could have been. That's what I see in Cherkinow reports. What's the only story juicier than making out Russia as the worst of all evils? That's right, throwing in the world's most famous whistleblowing website into the mix.

1:22:03 And no one had to wait too long to get that story going far and wide in the media. Assange and Russia sleeping in the same bed. It's frankly absurd that just because WikiLeaks has shone a light on mainly US government deceptions and abuses that he's therefore somehow in the arms of Russia. poster boys of evil walking hand in hand to destroy the US. What a perfect narrative. Let's break down the most popular arguments used so far. Number one, WikiLeaks latest batch of emails are

1:22:42 anti-Clinton. Add on the not too heavily backed up view that Hillary's candidacy is somehow less preferred in Moscow than all the amazing things Trump has to offer play so well into this narrative. Number two, Assange had his own show on RT while under house arrest in the UK. I'm Julian Assange, editor of WikiLeaks. We've exposed the world's secrets. These documents belong to the United States government. We've been attacked by the powerful. Of course, this could only mean that he's a Russian spy and has nothing to do with the fact that RT was the only international news channel prepared to give a platform to alternative opinions and facts that the more mainstream outlets have no interest in listening to. That is absurd, it's offensive and it's untrue.

1:23:29 He is simply trying to expose what governments, Western governments are doing in our name which the public have a right to know. That doesn't make him anybody's spy or anybody's cat's paw. Number three, one of the latest arguments but just as entertaining. RT's fast move on the latest Podesta emails before Wikileaks even tweeted about them, sparking accusations of collusion with a whistleblowing organization. There is growing evidence that Russia is using Wikileaks as a delivery vehicle for hacked emails. Despite the documents already being public when reported on by RT, accusations quickly flew around that Russia and Wikileaks were in on it together.

1:24:09 And I'd like to remind everybody, if you read the latest batch of Podesta emails, and I have some of those in the show notes, 873.noagendanotes.com, you will read that this was a phishing expedition and that idiots like Podesta clicked on a link that looked like it was, oh you got to reset your Gmail password. And there's evidence this happened because they're showing in these emails, hey man, you know, you got to change your password on your iPad and your iPhone. But they know that something happened. They didn't know that they've been completely compromised. So to speak of a hack, Rather, you should say social engineering with people who want to advise the leader of the country. Yeah, good work. Yeah, that's how you do it. Yeah, that's the irony. Oh, it says click here. I have the email actually that they clicked on says, hi, my name is.

1:24:59 What is it? Hi, my name is Jason. I am a Nigerian prince. Wait, no, that's not. Sorry. They were hoping for the big payday so they get out from under. Hey, we got a donor from Nigeria. Way to go. All we got to do is open a bank account and send them five grand. Damn, let's do this, yo. Deal. Fantastic. Okay, you got more on this. We're at the risk. I like this. What else you got? Oh, you have, that was all on WikiLeaks? Yeah, that was my one thing. I do have a bunch of RT stuff, but I'd rather... Before we do that, I discovered a new outfit. Maybe you'd heard about them as I was researching the...

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

IARPA Intelligence Research and Advanced Surveillance Projects

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is highlighted as a high-risk, high-payoff research arm of the U.S. intelligence community. Led by Dr. Jason Matheny, the agency funds projects like "Aladdin Video" for multimedia analytics and "Babble" for multilingual speech recognition in noisy environments. These programs focus on deep learning, geolocation, and big data processing to enhance the capabilities of agencies like the CIA and NSA.

iarpa· darpa· jason matheny· aladdin video· surveillance technology

1:25:39 Because there's still, you know, Binnie, the solar wind architect, former NSA, who says, huh, if you want Hillary's emails, just, you know, tell NSA to walk up to the terminal, input this selector. They have everything. They know everything. So I'm looking around and following some links and they run across... Now we've all heard of DARPA, Defense Agency Research... was it Defense Advanced Research Project Agency? Which is who pretty much created the internet. The technical underpinnings, pretty much. So that's DARPA. I did not realize there is an IARPA, which stands for Intelligence Advanced Research Projects, activity in this case. And this is an outfit to pay attention to. IARPA.gov

1:26:26 And a couple things, just wanted to, here's what they do. To ensure that our research addresses relevant future needs, to address cross-agency challenges, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects activity invests in high-risk, high-payoff research programs to tackle some of the most difficult challenges of the agencies and disciplines in the intelligence community. And it's fun to look at who's the leadership We have the director, Dr. Jason Matheny, who worked at Oxford University, World Bank, Applied Physics, Center for Biosecurity at Princeton University. We have the deputy director, Stacey Dixon, who was chief of Congressional Intergovernmental Internal Affairs, worked at House Permit Select Committee on Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Organization.

1:27:19 Chief Scientist, Dr. William von der Linde. Gee, won't surprise you. More spooks. It's all spooks. But some of their projects are kind of interesting. Current research. They have Aladdin Video. That's the program and it does image, photograph, video, multimedia, computer vision, natural language processing, image processing, big data, video analytics, machine learning, speech processing. Babble. which is multilingual, multidialect, speech recognition, keyword search algorithms, speech recognition in noisy environments, low resource languages. What is that? A low resource language?

These guys are- A lot of it sounds like greed. Yeah. Money wasting? Yeah. Probably. It sounds like huge waste of money. Sounds like money wasting. I'll agree. I just thought it was, well, okay. I had no idea these guys existed. Now we know. Yeah. And they have a .gov where you look at once in a while. Some news from France. I need to do something from overseas.

Migrant Encampments in Paris and Obama's European Trip

Following the demolition of the "Jungle" camp in Calais, massive migrant tent cities have emerged in Paris, particularly near the Stalingrad metro station. Despite official denials of a migrant influx, reports show the city's parks and streets are being occupied by displaced individuals. Meanwhile, the White House indicated that President Obama may not have time to meet with refugees during his upcoming final trip to Greece and Germany.

calais jungle· paris· stalingrad metro· barack obama· refugees

1:28:51 We know the jungle got cleaned up and a lot of very soft reporting on that. Oh yeah. People just went away and there were flames and all kinds of stuff was going on. But no, hey, they just went peacefully. They faded away into the night. We have no idea where they went. It's been widely reported in France that migrant encampments are springing up in Paris just days after the demolition of the massive jungle camp in Calais. But Frenchmen... That's going to do wonders for the tourist business. ...dismissing the claims. There is no influx of arrivals in Paris from Calais. There has been no migrant movement between Calais and Paris. Those are the officials. The majority of migrants relocating in Paris are apparently situated in the north of the city near the Stalingrad metro station from where... That's the no-go zone. That is the no-go zone, you're right. ...from where Harry Fier sent this report.

1:29:42 Well, after the Calais camps closure, eyes now are on the capital. Reportedly, some of those displaced from the so-called jungle camp have now made camp on the streets of Paris and beside the capital's parks. If Calais was home to a jungle, Paris is now home to a tent city. Quite extraordinary to witness. Yeah, the pictures are fantastic. Just amazing. I got some overseas news. Does he want to bring it over there? Well, just keep it with the kind of guy. Just keep it with the migrants for a second. Sure. You still on it? Yeah. The president apparently is going to go visit the EU's and probably tell everyone that Hillary is just taking his last trip to Europe. Well, hell yeah. Hell yeah. So now you get to go in separate jets again, dad. I sure hope so. We get to go in separate jets.

1:30:38 Hey, what do you think? Shall we have the president meet with some of these poor migrants who are there apparently partially because of our botched policy in Syria? While the president is in Germany and Greece, I know that you don't have all the details for this trip yet, but will he be meeting with refugees? I know that's a part of the mission to both of these countries. Will there be an event where the president has FaceTime with people who are are in these communities or have traveled and are either internally displaced or displaced outside of their home country? At this point, Jared, I don't know whether or not the President will meet with refugees. You may recall that when the President traveled to Malaysia at the end of last year, he had an opportunity to visit

1:31:19 a non-profit in Kuala Lumpur that was providing for the basic needs of people who had fled to Malaysia from other countries around the world. Many of the people that he met with were actually refugees who were in Malaysia who had been approved to move to the United States. And as somebody who had the benefit of witnessing that event, it was a really powerful experience. So if there's time on the president's schedule for him to meet with refugees who fled to Europe, then I'm sure he would be pleased to have the opportunity to do so. No, he's not going to meet with any stinky migrants. That's obvious. If he only if he has time. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Between the three star restaurants. Mm hmm. And he's going to Greece, I guess, to pick out his new island.

NATO Military Buildup on Russian Border and Naval Refueling

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed a significant military buildup in Poland, Estonia, and the Black Sea region to counter Russian influence. Concurrently, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland reportedly pressured Cyprus and Malta to deny refueling rights to the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. The Russian fleet, which relies on steam turbines rather than nuclear power, faced logistical hurdles as it moved through the Mediterranean.

1:32:11 I'll take that one. That one looks good. Well, there you go. Okay, so let's, here's my version of European news. This one here, start out with this one. NATO pushing towards Russia. In what's been described as the biggest military buildup on Russia's border since the Cold War, the United States is promising to send troops, tanks and artillery to Poland, while Britain is planning to send fighter jets to Romania and troops to Estonia next year. Why? The pledges were made Wednesday during a NATO meeting. Wait, wait, what did she say?

1:32:51 They're moving these British to go into Estonia. I know why. Putin. Estonia next year. The pledges were made Wednesday during a NATO meeting in Brussels. In addition, Germany, Canada and other NATO allies have pledged to send forces to the region. Jens Stoltenberg is NATO Secretary General. Today we also discussed progress in strengthening NATO's presence in the Black Sea region with a Romanian-led multinational framework brigade on land. And we are working on measures in the air and at sea. And I'm pleased to confirm that several nations indicated their willingness to contribute to our presence in the Black Sea region on land, at sea and in the air.

1:33:40 Yeah, I actually have something related to that. He does your voice. Well, that's Jens. I have information that can lead... No, it's not. He's not different. It's different. It's not the same as... Slightly different. Also, he seems to be chewing on a lozenge. Yeah. I do have some information on that. First of all, Estonia, of course, borders on Russia in two spots. And it's pretty much really only a hop, skip and a jump from St. Petersburg if you're well, it's more than I go there. You might as well go to Estonia and then check it out. It must be great. So that that's why we're there. But... Victoria Kagan Noodleman. Yes, we had lost track of her. We knew that she was off to Cyprus. And I have information, intel on this. The reason for Newland to be in Cyprus and Malta is because the Russian fleet is in the Mediterranean Sea and they need to refuel their aircraft carrier. Malta said no, Spain said no, and Gibraltar said no.

1:34:42 So I'm pretty sure that she's there to make sure that Cyprus also says no. My understanding is Spain said yes. Then that may be new. I heard that on the question time in the British Parliament. They were bitching about this. This came in this morning, so I don't know. Well, maybe they said no, but obviously there's pressure. The British didn't like it, but Spain should be able to do whatever they want to be pushed around by these guys. And I was overlooked. Part of this story was Why aren't the Russians using nuke power for their big boats? We do. We don't have any, oh, let's just dock so we can put some fuel on board. Hmm. That's a good question. And it seems to me that they have the same technologies we have for that. And I'm wondering if the fuel is not maybe for auxiliary stuff and not really to power them. Or if they have a nuke. Well, it's an aircraft carrier.

1:35:37 Yeah, you need a lot of power to run one of those things. Let me take a look at the Admiral Kuznetsov. That is the aircraft carrier in question. Built in 1981. And I don't think it's a new... Oh, steam turbines. Well, that doesn't mean anything. Let me just see what the propulsion, boilers, generators... Boilers, generators, not good. No. Boilers, generators. I don't think it's a nuke. Well, that's dumb. Yeah, well, it should retrofit that old thing and it is the flagship according to the wikipedia's Yeah, the flagship of the fleet. Hmm interesting to break. Well, but if you know if they got planes they need fuel for planes So that that would be the number one. That's true Yeah, the number one reason if it's an aircraft carrier, uh, and I cannot find any news that the that spain I still see after nato objections russian warships won't refuel

1:36:35 No one wants to refuel. That's all three days old. I don't think that's all. That's very un genteel. Well, no one wants to be seen pandering to the enemy. Since when did he become the enemy? Oh, hello. Somebody should declare war so he knows who he is. Of course we know it. It's obvious. Okay, well, let's go to another clip. Okay. So let's move it down to Africa. This is the Drone bases expanding. Ah, or good news. There are military news. The Washington Post is reporting the Pentagon secretly expanded its global network of drone bases to include a base in Tunisia to conduct missions in Libya. The U.S. now maintains a string of drone bases across Africa from Niger to Djibouti. Hmm. That comes in handy. I

US Drone Base Expansion in Africa and UN Cuba Vote

The Pentagon has secretly expanded its drone network to include a base in Tunisia for missions over Libya, adding to existing hubs in Niger and Djibouti. In diplomatic news, the United States abstained for the first time from a United Nations vote calling for an end to the Cuban economic embargo. The resolution passed 191-0, signaling a shift in U.S. policy under the Obama administration despite the embargo remaining legally in place.

tunisia· libya· djibouti· cuba embargo· united nations

1:37:31 There was a Nigerian driver the other day for Ride Austin. And we were talking about this, you're right across from Djibouti. I always try to throw in, I know what I'm talking about. He says, yeah, Djibouti, where all the drones are. Yes. I said, boy, we're really... And the guy's been in Austin, this Nigerian guy for 15 years. I said, wow, we're really trying to rule the world. And he went, I should have recorded it. Sadly, I didn't. Like, we're great. America does this. Africans need that. Whole of Africa is a mess. It's good that we're doing this. He was all in. He really, yeah, he loved it. You know, with guys like that, not loving it. But there are moments where we're total dicks. Yeah.

1:38:16 And I think that this is the moment of dictum that is just so ridiculous. It's always bothered me anyway. This is the Cuba vote, it says VOR on here, but the Cuban vote in the United Nations. And then I'm thinking, why did we abstain from this stupid vote? For the first time, the United States abstained from a United Nations General Assembly vote on a resolution calling for an end to a U.S. economic embargo on Cuba. The resolution was passed 191-0, with the United States and Israel abstaining. The U.S. had opposed the measure for the past 24 years. In Havana, residents welcomed the U.N. vote.

1:38:58 I'm not why are we abstain you know because we're finally got beat back on this Cuba thing which I should have Done 20 years ago or more. Yeah, but but we're so adamant. We have the worst case of this Oh save face Save face we can do We're gonna look weak so they abstain course Israel being a lapdog decides to go along with that and they abstain It's ridiculous. Just vote yes. Yeah, I It was 190 something to zero, come on! Is that a move of dictum? I don't know. I find that hard to believe.

Newcomer Voting Rights and George Washington Bridge Protest

A movement is growing to allow "newcomers"—a new term for undocumented immigrants—to vote in local elections, with San Francisco leading the effort. In New York, activists from the Laundry Workers Center were arrested after chaining themselves together on the George Washington Bridge to demand voting rights and work visas. The "Somos Visibles" campaign seeks to integrate non-citizens into the electoral process before the 2016 presidential election.

1:39:38 There must be something else going on. It makes no sense. Well, I got it. Oh, you mean about the Cuba thing? Yeah, I'm trying to figure it out. That's what you'd think. But at this point, it's been going on for so long. But didn't we open it all up and are we proud of that? And Obama did it and we can finally visit there. Yeah, and then we still don't do the vote in the UN. That's crazy. How does that work? What was the point? Well, I'm glad you picked that up because now I want to know. Wasn't the whole point that the president, best president ever, of course, in our lifetime, that he opened that up and we're friends and we're gonna work it all out and business is growing and no? I don't know. According to the, they did, that report went on. I didn't clip the second part of it, but they had a bunch of people in Cuba talking about, oh good, maybe now we can get the embargo lifted. I guess the embargo for most stuff is still in play. Apparently. So they were not being told anything on this. Now, one of the things going on that really gets me is this, I, it started with, I retweeted this,

1:40:40 this story in Bloomberg. Apparently, the city of San Francisco, and I'm sure I've got this a little slanted, but the city of San Francisco says that they want to allow the illegal immigrants to vote. Yeah, this is interesting. They want to allow them to vote. Let's let them vote. And they've also, by the way, there's a new word to watch out for. Newcomer. They're no longer illegal aliens. They're not illegal aliens. Oh, they're not undocumented workers. They're newcomers. Nice. They're newcomers. That's like, that's like, what do they use? Is that what they used on V? Oh, newcomers. Were they newcomers? Did they call them the new ones or something like that? We could probably expand on that. The newcomers, the new ones. Now maybe I think newcomers was from V, I think.

1:41:29 Maybe, well, they're using it for these kids. Oh, we should, oh, oh, let's let the newcomers vote. They're here. Remember, this is, this is, this is one of, this is the only, according to Michael Moore even, this is the only thing that equalizes all American citizens. The one thing you may not have a job, you may not have a house, you may be home, but you have your vote. But apparently newcomers can have that too. Now the, yes. Now, the story is cropping up. This is not a singular event in San Francisco. This is cropping up everywhere. Now, you don't see it in the mainstream media news, but Democracy Now! is on it because it's their kind of thing. And this is—the clip is demanding the vote for immigrants. Here in New York, 10 immigrant rights activists were arrested Tuesday morning after they chained themselves together and shut down traffic on the upper level of the George Washington Bridge during morning rush hour.

1:42:25 The protest was organized by the Laundry Workers Center using the hashtag SomosVisibles, or WeAreVisible. Co-director of the Laundry Workers Center, Mahona Lopez, said, quote, "'We demand the right to vote and take part in the decisions in our communities,' unquote. The group is calling for a day of action November 7th, the day before the presidential election." Yeah. I'm pretty sure a lot of newcomers are voting anyway. Oh yeah. I know several newcomers and I've now helped three on the path to becoming citizens.

1:43:01 which I'm quite proud of. And the real problem with these newcomers is one thing and one thing only, cost. That's the only reason why they can't do this, is cost. Five grand a person, that's just what it costs. So... Yeah, they'll get that abolished. Oh, they have to, they have to. It's insane. Let's get the second part of that clip showing even more another example of this trend. And in addition to that, I believe you can register to vote as a newcomer. Because you pay taxes, you get a tax ID number from the IRS. It is possible to get a driver's license. Social Security numbers, you can't do that anymore. But I think if you have a driver's license, in most states you can register to vote. So they may already be doing it. Well, I don't know what they're bitching about then. You got the newcomers and the dead comers. Everyone's voting this year. It's great. A lot of dead people voting. I remain

1:44:00 Finger in inkwell is the way to go. Second half of this clip. Oh, well that was the whole clip. No, there's two parts. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see it. Here we go. Meanwhile, another group of immigrant rights activists held a march outside an immigration office in downtown Manhattan to demand deferred action from deportation, including a five-year work visa for all undocumented immigrants, regardless of age or parental status. The campaign is called Saving Our Souls, a reference to Martin Luther King's motto for the civil rights movement. It included 37 people from Mexico, Honduras, Ghana, St. Vincent, Spain and other countries that submitted their applications for deferred action. I have no idea what that is. I don't know either. Apparently they're taking this into their own hands because Obama, you know, signed some executive order that didn't do really do anything. And so these guys are all upset. They want to vote. They want to vote in Hillary. Well, that's why it's getting support from a place in, I know, like San Francisco.

Ammon Bundy Acquittal and Lawyer Tased in Court

Ammon Bundy and six other defendants were acquitted of conspiracy charges related to the 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell expressed profound disappointment, citing concerns for the security of public lands. Following the verdict, Bundy's lawyer was subdued with a taser by U.S. Marshals after aggressively demanding his client's immediate release despite pending charges in Nevada.

1:45:03 Yeah, yeah, which is that not a Also a what do you call that something city the sanctuary city sanctuary sanctuary city, San Francisco? Resulted in a couple of murders there. Oh, well, you know, I would these things happen Update on the militiamen case, which I didn't even know there was an update. Yes. I have that I have that too I have a 27 second clip. What do you have? Mine. Yours is. Oh, yours is a minute. We're going with yours. The Secretary of the Interior says she is quote profoundly disappointed with the acquittals in Oregon's wildlife refuge takeover. Secretary Sally Jewell says she is concerned that it will damage the security and management of public lands. Seven defendants were charged with conspiracy after they occupied the refuge for 41 days. They say yesterday's verdict

1:46:00 vindicates their claims of federal overreach. Did she even say that they were exonerated in that? Did she even say that? I don't think she said that in the report. Well, here's the reason. This was actually more than a minute. I dropped it in. There's more. There's more. We have to say we are so grateful for the patriots and for those jurors who spent their time. And we know it's a great sacrifice. And we are so grateful. We're in tears because we were so happy that they heard the truth. And they weren't intimidated enough that they didn't come back with the right judgment.

1:46:38 The group's leader, Ammon Bundy, is being held on other charges from a 2014 Nevada standoff. His lawyer also faces charges after yelling at the judge yesterday to release Bundy. U.S. Marshals used a stun gun to subdue him in court. No, they used a taser. It wasn't a stun gun. What's the difference between a stun gun and a taser? I think there's a big difference. I don't. Stun gun is like you put your phaser on stun. I like that better actually And Taze was a brand name. I'm not even sure how they used the stun gun moniker. Hold on a second. Someone in the chat, hold on, hold on. Someone is saying he was not tased for yelling at the judge. Well, would you please tell me why he was tased? I heard he was tased because he said, hey, these guys have been exonerated. Now there are more charges. He was tased because, hold on, hold on, he was tased. Wait, wait, wait. I gotta read it before it scrolls off. It's gonna scroll off. It's gonna scroll off. I gotta read it now. Oh, it's scrolled off.

1:47:41 Thanks. Good. I just think, well he'll write it up again. Scroll it back, scroll it back, put it in there for Adam. No, go ahead. It was very important what you were going to say. Please. It was. I would love to be in a courtroom. where they tay some guy in the courtroom. Yeah, and why is there no video of that? This is lame. I think a lot of courts won't let you film in there. That's a good one. I like it. I just think it'd be great to see some guys tay... talking about your shut up slave. Yeah, that is exactly what it is. Hey, hey, let that...

ESPN Subscriber Loss and the Impact of Cord Cutting

ESPN lost a record 621,000 subscribers in a single month, totaling 4 million for the year, as cord-cutting accelerates across the United States. The network faces a massive revenue crisis as it is committed to paying billions in licensing fees to the NFL, NBA, and MLB. Analysts suggest that if subscriber numbers continue to dwindle, ESPN may no longer be able to afford exclusive rights to major events like the College Football Playoffs.

espn· cord cutting· nfl· ncaa· sports broadcasting

1:48:27 Hey, that sounded pretty cool actually. It's cool if listen to what the compressor does when I do that. Ah that's cool. What does it do? It does like a like a Hammond B12 effect that starts to phase it. Listen, I'll start it. Ah that's cool. Believe me nothing comes through this thing. You're just cooling your earphones. Hey, just let me enjoy okay. It'll be cool on everyone's earbuds. Alright, I have a new metric that we need to pay attention to. And it kind of falls into tech news, but I have some tech news and I want to do that after our break. Oh, okay, because I've got tech news. Good, good, good. So ESPN is really a bellwether and a metric maker that I haven't thought about when it comes to cord cutting. And the reason is every single cable network in the United States

1:49:28 carries ESPN and it's part of a larger deal and it's been that way for a long time. And even if you... Very expensive package that ABC charges a lot of money for. And even if you don't watch ESPN, you're paying for it. And I think it's $7 minimum per month that you will pay. Yeah. And it's a JIP if you're not watching, if you're not a sports guy. Yeah, of course it's a JIP, but it's built in and that is, you know, they've been going on this for a long time. Now, When people cut the cord, that money goes away for ESPN. There's no other way that they lose money than just having less subscribers. Big shock last month, last month ESPN lost 621,000 subscribers, which equals a total of 4 million subscribers for the year. And that is cord cutting.

1:50:25 Yeah, this is happening. This is also happening with the NFL. Well, well, the NFL, it goes all in. Here's the problem. The ESPN pays one point nine billion dollars a year for NFL and NFL fees keep going up and up and up. If they keep losing subscribers at this clip. ESPN would have 86 million subscribers next year. By around 2021, which is not that far off, 74 million subscribers, you know, calculate that with your seven bucks a month, this is make it eight by at that point, they will be losing so much revenue that they may not be able to pay for the fees, at least not at the current rate, for a lot of these franchises.

1:51:15 Which they have, they're paying baseball, they're paying basketball. I got the numbers. 1.9 billion a year to the NFL for Monday night football. 1.47 billion for NBA. 700 million for Major League Baseball. 608 million for college football playoff. 220 million to the ACC. 190 million to the Big Ten. 120 million to the Big 12. Holy crap! So, there's your metric right there. There's some real trouble brewing. Well, I'm still irked about a couple of those things you've mentioned. One of them is they pay whatever that number is for college playoffs.

1:52:02 What was that number? Yeah, if you can find it. Yeah. So they're paying the NC... 608 million for college football playoffs. So they're paying the NCAA all this money so they can have an exclusive and they have an exclusive on a number of the big games that normally were on the public airwaves. And this includes the Rose Bowl. And can we just point out that the NFL is tax exempt? Yes, but I'm bitching about the college guys right now. But yeah, the NFL's tax exempts, they're just jipping them. And I don't think the NFL's getting the kind of thing that these guys are getting in so far as exclusivity, except for Monday night football. But they're getting an unbelievable exclusivity of these big bowl games, which used to be a public trust. They were on the regular stations, you'd see the orange bowl, the rose bowl, the this bowl, the that bowl.

1:52:58 On TV that you could just watch and everyone could talk about it was it was something that we united that it was a kind of patriotic now they're exclusive to ESPN and I bitch about this constantly By sending by I just by by part doing my part by being on Twitter and writing complaints to at NCAA Oh nice because they're like what is it? Where are they doing this with that most people who like one or get over the air or have a cheap cable subscription? It doesn't include ESPN. It's not like you're no, but I got my antenna yesterday and

1:53:37 my over-the-air digital antenna. I get 37 channels here in the skyscraper. Including the main networks? Yeah, and I have, of course, the local broadcasters, and I had a lot of college football yesterday, like three different college football games. In high definition. The main networks still have every run of the mill games, some of them quite good, but they won't have the big bowl games because it's exclusive as it says right on there. I'm glad that that works there because it's fantastic to have good over the air because the quality of the Dolby sound and actually the picture itself is superior to the cable. Way superior. Yeah, it's way superior.

1:54:22 It's crisper and the sound is dynamite. Yes, the sound is, yeah, it's unbelievable. Well, these cable channels, of course, the problem they have is very much like Sirius XM. They have so much bandwidth. It's a lot going through the cable, through that type of infrastructure. So they have to compress stuff. Now, a Sirius satellite, anything above channel 20 is unlistenable. They have to compress it so much. Yes, you have to do, especially with all these channels. No, that those antennas are I get 86 channels around here.

1:55:01 over the air and the 86 channels unfortunately consist of about 60 channels that are in shopping home shopping Korea home shopping There's about eight shopping channels. There's about five religious channels There's a bunch of Korean channels and Chinese channels and and there's about 20 channels that I can actually use But it's still good. I still get the networks I get all of so it's around this up Just to finish up the ESPN thing. The alternative is of course everyone says why don't you just go over the top? Why don't you just go directly to the consumer through the internet? Three, there are a couple of problems. One, the cost to deliver high speed, high definition motion video to each individual subscriber is I think is going to, is it will break the bank.

1:55:56 It's yes, a deal breaker. Yeah. Unless they can get all the cable head, you know, like Netflix and get your little servers in there. And so they don't have the infrastructure. I think it's very difficult. But the bigger point is if they are capable to go over the top, who needs ESPN? NFL could do it themselves. They don't, they can make programming. They're actually positioned to do it because they have an NFL channel too. So once again, the internet breaks everything. I love it. The whole world is breaking. The whole world is breaking. We just happen to be on the upside of the swing because we have a different model. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. We do have a few people to thank. The main bulk of the people.

John Dvorak recounted a similar experience in Brazil where a homeopathic pharmacist provided a dried ginger remedy that restored his voice during a grueling speaking tour. The hosts discussed the efficacy of certain alternative medicines for vocal and respiratory health compared to traditional over-the-counter options.

I couldn't, you know, just too much talking, I couldn't do it. Like Hillary?

2:05:54 It's probably worse, maybe not as bad. But anyway, this woman said, oh, and she gave me this homeopathic, and they have big homeopathic pharmacies in Brazil, and it was a kind of a salted, dried ginger, some kind of a crazy little thing. I still have some of these. And you're just a little, it's like a little ball of this stuff and you chew on it. And I, it's unbelievable. It just clears, I mean that, ugh, I can barely talk, just gone. You can talk for days if you want. It doesn't make any difference. It's astonishing. I've been a believer.

iPhone 7 Chinese Clone Comparison and Tech Specs

Tech videographer Charbax provided a high-end $71 iPhone 7 clone from China for analysis. Unlike cheaper plastic versions, this model features a sealed metal chassis and a pressure-sensitive home button identical to the authentic Apple device. While it runs a skinned version of Android and lacks a functional secondary camera lens, it mimics the iPhone 7's lack of a headphone jack and uses a proprietary-style connector.

2:06:44 Nah, not on the Amazon page. But anyway, yeah, it's great. I'm happy. Thank you. I can't remember who sent that to me. But thank you. It's appreciate. Okay, then. Good phones a landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite. Everybody forget the tech horny shows on the Sundays you come to Noah Jeddah show for your tech news. I was gonna make it really short. But since you have some tech news, we can't make it as short. Yes, Charbax was in town and he was a fairly well-known videographer who does tech stuff. He lives in China and he used to live, I think, in Paris and now he lives in London.

2:07:24 And he was headed back and so he said, I'm going to be at the Oakland airport. So, you know, if you want to get one of these iPhone sevens and it was very expensive. This one was more the typical iPhone clone in China's are 35, 40 bucks. This one was 71. It was extremely expensive. Now is this the, uh, the, what is it? Three and the small one. So it's the five and a half incher. It's the big one. And it has the two cameras and it's got all the things in it. And which I was really stunned by because he has one of the other iPhone 7s and even with the iPhone 6 when he gave me one of those, you could pull the back off and then the back is made out of plastic, wasn't made out of metal. And you pull the back off, there's a battery, there's all kinds of stuff inside. You can actually pull the back off.

2:08:12 Yeah, you can actually like it that made a difference in that a normal iPhone But it didn't look like when you saw it all this looks like an iPhone until you played with it is the six You played with it, and you notice that the back was plastic the whole thing was plastic right? And it was, and you pull the back off and you know, but it looked from a distance, you gave it to somebody, you wouldn't know. It looks just like the right thing. This guy, this expensive one, is a sealed metal, it is exactly, he says it's identical. To the seven it's exactly the same it from visually visually it looks the same and it's got a really nice screen a much better screen than they normally have these cheapies and Everything is just a couple of gotchas. It's in black. It's in that good black it had You have the matte black and the shiny black which one do you has the matte black black right? It's really nice This is a nice phone

2:09:07 Except a couple things. One, I haven't tried it with the radios yet, see if the Chinese radios are set right, but it has two cameras, or there's two lenses. And only one of them works. Yeah, of course. So you don't have to want to just got glass little hole. Yeah, it's just for no, it's got the glass in there, but it doesn't just doesn't do anything. And he says it's so it only takes pictures from one lens and the pictures are very poor. So it's just, as a substitute for your camera, it's not gonna work. I haven't taken a picture with it yet, I will. That's really too bad because I can totally see where the shiny, and it's a status thing, right? To have an iPhone. Yeah, it's just to have the thing. So how about the, it's Android though, it's not iOS, it's Android. Yes, it's an Android that has a skin, it's skinned as an iPhone. So it really takes a few pokes and shifts and this and that to discover it's Android.

2:10:09 If you go into the settings immediately, it's Android. It just shows you all the Android settings and you can change them. And you can also change to a normal Android I.O. but generally speaking, most people don't. They keep it as an Apple iOS. So it looks like a- How about menus, like if you go into settings, does it still look like the iPhone, like iOS 10? Once you go into settings, no. It's Android, okay, I gotcha. Yeah, it's very Android. Now, he said that the other thing he told me, which is interesting, is that now the cheapies, the $35 ones, which he had one of, which you can take the back off, it's made out of plastic. He says that they apparently, or whoever's making these things- Now they're collector's items. Well, they're always collector's items.

2:10:47 He says that they got this thing out so fast that as an Android phone, it totally blows. It's no good. It's not like it should be. It barely works. We're talking about the cheap ones that cost 35 bucks. He says, don't you know, people are buying the new $71 one because the other one's just junk. Well, here's the most important question. Does it have a headphone jack? This is interesting, because no, it doesn't. They decided in the olden days when they may just clone the regular iPhones, they always like, for example, for the charging thing, they use a regular micro USB, the one that everyone else uses on all their other phones. So you didn't have to worry about losing the charger. Although in one version, I remember he gave me a special Apple charger.

2:11:37 No, this has that crazy little Apple connector. It's exactly the same. I think it's the same connector. Does not have a headphone jack. It only has that one opening. But it has the headphone jack adapter just like the Apple does. So it's very authentic looking in every way. How about how about the when you use the touch sensor does it unlock the phone? I mean obviously it's probably not working at all is it just a button you did it doesn't actually do any fingerprint analysis I haven't found a way to turn that on or off, but it's not a button It's it is the same pressure sensitive non button that Apple uses I'm telling this thing is this of all these clones I've seen over the years, and I've seen a lot of them. This is the they

iPhone 7 Upgrade Experience and Apple Pay Cash Elimination

The transition to the iPhone 7 is noted for its significant speed improvements and better radio support for T-Mobile's LTE frequencies. However, Apple CEO Tim Cook's stated goal to "kill cash" through Apple Pay is criticized as an attempt to position the company as a middleman in every transaction. The discussion also touched on the frustration of slow EMV chip card readers and the lack of actual security provided by the new payment standards.

2:12:23 They went out of their way to make this thing identical and it's heavy. Yeah, well Here's my bit of tech news. I got an iPhone 7 yesterday Friday. I'm sorry. Yep the big one You know Tina's daughter works there, so she put me on the list Which means that and this is it's such a good I'm not good now I'm not gonna reserve one and here's the process at Apple it used to be when it was good PR and Oh, we released the iPhone. We have people sleeping in front of the store. Huge lines. Oh, look at how everyone wants us. Oh, so successful. And then you'd walk out and people be holding him like, Oh, I got it. But then of course the lines started to fill up with homeless people and placeholders. So there was no, and well, it was homeless people, placeholders and Robert Scoble. And so it was no fun interviewing anyone anymore. So they stopped that. Now you have to reserve it online. Then they give you a window.

2:13:17 And you have to be there in the window to go pick it up, which is why I refuse. Now my, my six, the screen's broken. I got it. It's a Panda phone. But you know, you're familiar with the Panda phone. No, it means you have a black iPhone. You break the screen, you go to, I fix it, the trailer and they don't have any more black. So I will, would you have a white one? Okay. Put a white one on. So you have a white one with a black button. It's very, you walk into the Apple store. People like, Hey, Panda phone, everyone knows what it is. I didn't know about this. Well, I didn't either. The thing was a mess and I dropped it again. I'm ready for the new one and specifically for the radios that it has in there because they can access the T-Mobile LTE frequencies and transmitters, which will give me more coverage for Airstream of Consciousness. So this was absolutely something. It's a business expense I fucking needed because, you know, the Verizon thing is not always panning out and it's very expensive to use Verizon data.

2:14:13 So, very kindly, she, you know, cause there's none. She was like, Oh, I look today, Rose Golds, like there's no Matt Black. And I said, Oh, okay. I got one Matt Black. Window Friday afternoon, 430 to 530 at the domain. That means 45 minutes in traffic to get up there. And then another 45 minutes coming back. And it's really only a 15 minute ride without traffic, but Austin traffic is horrific. And I was like, Oh, I got to say, John, It is such an upgrade from the 6 in every way. It's really quite astonishing. And I made quite a fool of myself, because you have to set it up and they have a little setup table where, you know, some cool kids, actually they were pretty cool, help you how to do it and you have to have a backup and all this stuff. And, you know, when you start up, you have to enter in a temporary code. Now I have a long code on my 6.

2:15:12 I think it's 12 numbers because I didn't doesn't open. I don't let it open up with my fingerprint because I don't know. Someone's going to arrest me and put my finger on the button that opens up. I don't want that. So it's 12 numbers. Come on. That makes sense, right? So they'd input the numbers. I do my numbers. I do my numbers. Boom. Okay. Oh no, you can't have 12 numbers for the setup. It can be no more than six. I do six numbers. And then, you know, you go through all this stuff and then it reboots and then you have to input not the code that I normally use, but the other code. I thought I remembered it. I actually got to the, you now have to wait 10 minutes.

2:15:49 I did it wrong so many times and everyone's looking at me and I'm starting to do perspirations rolling down my family. Oh my God, I can't believe this because they would have to reset the phone, like do a horrible thing that to reload the software, all this crazy stuff. If you can't remember that passcode, yeah, you have to do a Comey. So luckily, but I'm already noticing a problem with it. I don't know what it is. It's happened twice now. Where all of a sudden it says, I don't recognize your fingerprint. You need to input your passcode. This happened twice this morning already, so something is not right with it. Well, and that is I can't complain too much about the this one well, and the although I don't know if I'm gonna put it in play when the Kids are coming over tonight, so I'll have them because I know I still have the giant SIM card on my old galaxy and I don't want to cut it to a small SIM card cuz then if I don't like the phone I won't be able to go back to the galaxy, so I'm going to Try it out and see what the what the radios are like

2:16:51 I'm sure it doesn't have the fancy ones you've got. No, that's why I got it. And tell me this, Charback said that the radios in the expensive one, the exact copy is Or is known to be a really good set of three different radios and is and the when he has the cheap one with the back that comes off he says it's just barely is just terrible I don't know well. It's just different ships. I'd love to try it I'd love to do an a B comparison I can do that when I go out on the road again. I do that well. There's some I'm not shipping to you We can do that Um, but just another, another big advantage of this again. I don't, I don't, I never, I think it's too big. Oh no. I think it's the perfect size. Oh no. I disagree. Monster. No, it's not. It's not as big as the six plus. Maybe you have a different size. It's five and a half inches. I never had a six plus five and a half inches is what it is. All I know. That's too big. No, it's not. I think it's the perfect size. Um,

2:17:53 And what's really nice about it, and I'm a big believer in this, the speed at which it operates is significantly faster, which ultimately saves me time. And it's noticeable. It's every link you press, every rendering of every page, it is noticeably faster. This stuff makes a difference. You get more stuff done. I'm a big fan of it. What I'm not a big fan of is what Tim Cook said outside the little arena there where he did his dog and pony show. It's right at the beginning of this clip, so I don't know, is it because there's no way to tune into his voice. So I'll play it and then I'll play a little more so you understand his voice and I'll go back. But this is about Apple Pay. We're going to kill cats. Did you hear it?

2:18:34 No. We're gonna kill cash is what he says, right off the top. We're gonna kill cash. We're gonna kill cash. We're going to kill somebody else along the way too, by the way. We're gonna take cash out of the system. Nobody likes cash. Nobody wants cash. And, uh... That's... That's a joy out of that. And then he just goes on and on. But we're going to kill cash. Nobody wants cash. DOOSHBAG! What an a-hole. What an absolute a-hole. Well, this is the kind of thinking you have down in Silicon Valley. They put themselves as middlemen, of course, so they get a penny or whatever it is when they go for a transaction. They get something. I'm using the new card, you know, the thing that I got my new debit card. Oh, gosh, with the chip? You've got to insert it, don't swipe it, insert it! Yeah, they make a big stink about you insert it. It takes forever. And you still have to sign. And I don't have to sign.

2:19:31 At least not out here. There's been one instance where they had... Do you have to input your PIN? Yes, I think so. Because every single one I've done it at does not require my pin. It's insert. I think it's hit and miss. I think you're right in most cases. But you stick the thing in, but you wait forever. And I bitch about this. I say, is this taking longer than the swiping? Yeah, everyone's bitching about it. But it's also not right. I mean, this is not security. It's just as bad as swiping. You insert it. Anyone who finds your card can insert it.

2:20:08 You don't need your pin code. That's what I've witnessed. What kind of security is that? It's less security. And it takes longer. It's a transition phase, John. It's just a transition phase. Don't worry about it. It's all going to be good. Well the other thing is is that they have the card has no Embossed letters none of the things sticking up. Yes, you can't use the old machines anymore right you can't yeah correct It's just flat and so I had actually have a couple of those old machines I did my basement cleaned out, and I found a couple of these machines, and that's funny wait a minute You can take him back to the beginning about the basement. Yeah, what did you find I?

2:20:48 Oh, unbelievable. I mean, you must have actually I should disclose this. We were talking, I think, after the show and it was someone had cleaned. I was at the basement. Did they clean your office as well? My office gets cleaned by my daughter every so often, but the she does a great job. I'll try. I'll try. I'll try. I'll try and and reproduce what you said because it tickled me. I was cleaning, I thought it was office could be wrong, clean up the office. I found a bucket with all kinds of great stuff in here and I'm thinking I look in my office If there was a bucket with great stuff, I'd probably see it right away. How much stuff do you have that you don't see the bucket? Well, you should have seen the basement before it got cleaned out. Anyway, it was a fire hazard. Now, if there's a lot of wind, does a house blow away that it's no longer weighed down by the stuff in the basement? Yeah, it could happen. No, I find all kinds of stuff. I mean, stuff that's just crazy stuff.

LG Smart TV WebOS 3.0 and 4K Streaming

A new LG Smart TV featuring WebOS 3.0 is praised for its fast interface and seamless integration with 4K streaming services. The TV's software automatically recognizes 4K content on Netflix, providing a superior user experience compared to external streaming sticks. This upgrade followed an accidental screen failure of a previous 4K set caused by improper handling during a hardware setup.

2:21:50 Any dead hookers or anything? I found no dead hookers. It turns out that I've collected a lot of more books than I thought. We took like probably 14 whole boxes of books to the Albany library where they have a big book sale every year and they take these contributed books and resell them to other people. Sure. Okay. But anyway, the, yeah. Well, I have one more tech moment. Okay. Cause this was a week of, of upgrading. As you remember I got that VCR to do the MTV blooper reel and I was you know just testing it on you know I got one of those sake ease that we have you have one to the sake TV the 4k Yes, they're pretty inexpensive and underneath that I have a Bose It's a sound bar But it's really like a huge flat box like the size of a pizza box and just for a whole bunch of reasons of me not having the hardware anymore I just kind of propped the TV on top of that and leaned it against the wall and

2:22:48 And it's been fine. It's on top of a table, so it's been the right height. Perfect. Now I'm going to plug this thing in, and since it's not attached, the TV kind of just can fall forward, so I'm holding onto it. And I think, you know what? Let me put it flat and I can look at these connectors. And then I push it back up, and I turn the TV on, and it's ruined. Half of the screen is completely like black and white stripes. Yeah, because I laid it on top of the, uh, I guess it was a mistake. It was a, but I think the magnets and speakers do that to modern TVs as well. It wasn't the magnets. You crack something inside that thing. No, it's very delicate. Damn.

2:23:24 Yeah, no magnets involved. And I thought, well, how do I degauss? And Christina was like, no way it gets better. I'm like, hello, 1969. Like, I don't have a magnet. And then I read somewhere, oh, if you take an electric mixer. So I'm like with a mixer in front of the screen. Christina's like, what the hell are you doing? Mr. Tech was right there. Anyway, so I got an LG which has the the web OS 3.0. Holy mackerel this thing kicks ass. I'm impressed. I've seen a lot of smart TVs But this has I mean it's fast that has everything built into it Netflix immediately recognizes. I want 4k Very I find that's the most interesting part that right there very very impressive. I

Political Violence and Veteran Assassination Threats

Former Congressman Joe Walsh faced criticism for a tweet suggesting he would "grab his musket" if Donald Trump loses the election. Meanwhile, reports of vandalism against Trump lawn signs have increased, with some homeowners booby-trapping signs with nails to deter vandals. A letter from a Special Ops veteran warned that government attempts to claw back military bonuses could lead to targeted assassinations of top officials by trained former soldiers.

It's got a fan in it oh Let's talk about something else happy, like the... Okay, well, there's plenty of good stuff. We can talk about the Russian airstrikes that weren't from the Russians. Here's one of my favorites. This is an ex-congressman who I guess tweets a lot and everybody hates him. His name's Walsh and Walsh was making some... Because they were trying to play up this, well, if Hillary wins, everyone's going to get pissed off and they're going to tear down the place.

2:24:59 But I think more likely they're gonna tear down the places as if Trump wins because they've already dug up his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There's a good, I'll have a picture of this in the next show, in the next newsletter where some guy has got this show, a lot of people in the out in the suburbs who got these signs, Trump signs and people drive onto their lawn and run them over. Did you see that someone sent me a picture It was a series of pictures where you see someone drove over the Trump signs, but the bottom of the Trump sign was wood with nails in it. Yeah. And then you see the guy changing his tire. I love that. That was fantastic. Way to go, everybody. Way to go. They seem to be the most violent, but these other guys kind of joke around. So play this clip because I don't see how anyone can get worked up about this.

2:25:46 I'm voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket. You in?" The Brady campaign to prevent gun violence condemned Walsh's tweet. The group's president, Dan Gross, said, quote, Joe Walsh's continued vile and violent rhetoric has no place in our political discussion. But I guess running over Trump's thighs is fine. Now, he's grabbing his musket. What is he going to manage to do with a musket? Oh, I think maybe he's just speaking symbolically. Yeah, I think that's Second Amendment speak. Oh man, I grabbed my musket. Oh, my musket. Yeah, who cares? I did get a response note from one of our producers who was playing my report about the multi-tour veterans who got the bonuses and then were being screwed. And he says, my buddy here, who is US Army Ranger Battalion, member of the US Army Ranger Battalion,

2:26:43 and it's all caps but I'm not going to do the yelling. Hey, these are people who have sacrificed and given their own life for you. The American soldier. Veteran suicides, veteran suicides, veteran suicides. Pay attention. F you Hillary Clinton or whoever is responsible for this, do you really want to piss off former special ops trained and very efficient assassination machines like myself? I took knife wounds, took a bullet and took half my head off when bombed by an RPG inside an Humvee. F you. If you come near my money, I'll group together with other covert ops special ops vets and we'll simply use our skills to begin assassinating top officials until you stop.

IRS Phone Scam Operations in India and Swatting Risks

Federal agents reported that an IRS phone scam originating in India has stolen over $300 million from American families. Scammers threaten victims with immediate arrest unless they pay bogus tax debts via vouchers or wire transfers. In some cases, scammers have "swatted" victims who refused to pay by calling 911 and reporting violent crimes at their residences, leading to dangerous police interventions.

2:27:20 Oh, geez. Whoa, whoa. Yeah, you want to be careful. They probably have his number. Want to be careful. Yeah. Yes. Be careful. Be careful. Here's one. This is the, I've somebody, they've talked about this before supposedly they arrested a bunch of people, we played clips of it but this is the latest. This is the IRS scam, I guess it's still going on and this is an ABC report that I thought was amusing. Next tonight here the IRS scam targeting Americans in all 50 states. 300 million dollars stolen from families. Federal agents now arresting dozens and tonight The recording of one of those phone calls from overseas targeting so many here. Wow, how much 300 million they tally it at? 350. Unbelievable, this is what a good scam. Here's ABC senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas with the audio.

2:28:10 The caller was blunt, claiming to be an IRS officer, telling Mary Jo Canery she owed back taxes and that she had to pay now. You have to buy a target tax voucher for... Your recording is better than this. ...the amount of $5,600. Indeed. The guy tells me I'm tax deficient, I'm going to jail. By tomorrow morning, one of the revenue officers and the deputy sheriff will be coming at your place. She refused to pay. But in the last three years, more than 15,000 victims in the U.S. have been duped into paying bogus tax claims. More than 300 million scammed by crooks in India, where just this month, dozens were arrested and accused of operating similar scams. And the shakedowns can be dangerous.

2:28:54 I owed back taxes. If I didn't pay immediately, they were going to have a warrant out for my arrest. When James Davis of Colorado Springs refused to pay, the scammer got revenge by impersonating him, calling 911, claiming a violent crime was about to take place at the Davis home. Within minutes, a SWAT team descended, only to discover it was a hoax. Our IRS officials assured us today that they don't make calls demanding that taxes be paid over the phone They said if you get a call like that hang up Hmm. Yeah, so no What no wrong advice? No your advice is

2:29:37 My advice is to call them back because they give you a number to call because there's all just random calls. So they give you a number to call. So you call that number up. Then when they tell, ask who you are now that I know that they do this other thing where they send the SWAT team to your house, because I never gave, I always gave rip. My name was Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton or something like that. If you have some like local guy that you're really dislike, Use his name and address. Yeah, there you go. And then, because they don't know, they don't have any, they don't know who you are, so they don't even know where you live. They don't know anything. This is bogus. So you give some, your enemies name and address, and then you go on and on until the guy gets irked or you tell him, or then you say, I'm not a, you know, you can cuss him out or he'll cuss you out. Cause that happened to me at one time.

2:30:27 on a recorded one, unfortunately. Not too bad. The it was gold, comedy gold. So anyway, then you let the guy he'll hang up on you at some point and then let him call the SWAT team on your enemy. I can't believe they actually do. I'm not recommending this. I'm just saying this is what you should do. But it's not a great adventure. John, is it possible that maybe You're that guy that everyone hates on the block and they'll be sending SWAT teams to you. No, everybody loves me. Okay. I make sure that everybody and it would be somebody that's not nearby. Okay. I did. I did an informal full informal full informal poll on the tweeters, which carried over to Facebook and ask people

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended the Affordable Care Act as premiums are set to rise significantly across the country. Earnest warned that the penalty for not having insurance—roughly $700—is a significant cost that can be avoided by signing up on Healthcare.gov. Critics argue that for many, the penalty is still cheaper than a single month of high-deductible insurance premiums, which continue to climb in states like Washington.

2:31:15 Are you paying more than 20? Is your increase in your premiums going to be more than 22%?" And I would say about 40% said yes. That's just informal, of course. A lot of people pointed me towards something interesting. As you know, we have the exchanges open on November 1st, depending on what happens with emails. And maybe the emails aren't meant to distract from this, who knows. People will be paying a lot of money for their premiums for health care insurance. It's not health care, it's health care insurance. And a lot of people said there's these short-term insurance policies you can get for 30 days and it's like a hundred bucks or 150 bucks and it still has a very high deductible but if you're in a car crash or cancer or anything like that, it's going to pay for a lot. So I thought that was interesting.

2:32:06 I'll put a couple... Yeah, I can tell you... Well, I have a couple links in the show notes you can take a look. So that's one option. Of course, you can pay the penalty, $695. And this question came up at the White House press briefing, and Josh Earnest made it very clear what you slaves need to do. We're encouraging people to shop around, whether they have health care or not. And that opportunity is available at healthcare.gov today. And finally, we know that the system overall benefits Everybody's costs go down when more people sign up. So that's why we're making such an aggressive effort to include people all across the country, particularly young people, to encourage them to avail themselves of this opportunity. All of this is particularly important when you consider that the penalty that is imposed for people who don't sign up for health care is quite significant. This year it's about $700. And I think our argument is pretty simple, which is

2:33:11 Why would you pay $700 to Uncle Sam when you don't need to? You can avoid that seven- having to make that $700 payment if you go and sign up for health care, which of course also affords you a variety of benefits that protect you and your family in the event of illness. So, sign up or pay us, slave. Shut up, slave! One month. The penalty is one month of health care insurance. Boy, and let me see if that makes sense. What should I get? Hmm, let me think. They're so clueless. I don't know what they're thinking. Well, these people have no idea what it's like to not be able to afford it. That's the problem. They have no idea. It's outrageous, the prices. Yeah. Mimi said this. Mimi even chimed in on the face back. She even said, she also said it's going up in Washington state. She's, and here's the kicker. She's paying about the same. I am only my deductible is $4,000 higher than hers. They must be listening to the show.

Katie Hopkins vs. Hala Gorani on CNN International

Daily Mail columnist Katie Hopkins engaged in a heated interview with CNN's Hala Gorani, accusing the network of being the "Clinton News Network." Hopkins dismissed CNN's polling data and criticized Hillary Clinton's history, specifically her role during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The exchange was noted for Hopkins' aggressive debating style and her refusal to accept the mainstream media's narrative regarding Donald Trump's support among women.

2:34:13 Let's give it to that guy. That guy's made in how long live. That guy. That's gouging. Is he gougable? Yeah. That guy, yeah. Now, I only have one more clip. We don't have to play it. I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It's long though. It's three and a half minutes, which is Kate Hopkins of the Daily Mail in an interview with Holly Gourani. Oh yeah, Katie. I'm a big fan of hers. I'm an even bigger fan than I already was. Did you see her in this interview on CNN with Holly Gourani? Yeah, yeah, I saw it. Do you want to let do, should we play this for the people who have not seen this? It's long. I was a clipped it myself. I thought it was a little you're right. It's long, but she does give it to her. People haven't heard Katie Hopkins. She's on the London's whatever that thing is that LBE LBE. She's one of the main persons on the talk show. And she is also hated by half of England. Yeah. And she writes for the Daily Mail, which is hated by half of England. But all of England reads.

2:35:11 Yeah, guess what? And I think this is she a lesbian, the Katie? I can't tell. She makes a reference at a certain point, but she's really she's aggressive. That's for sure. Not that all lesbians are aggressive, but I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of an argument with her. I would have my ass kicked. Exactly correct. Why? Why do you call us the Clinton News Network when we prominently featured a Florida

2:36:00 poll that showed Donald Trump had a couple of points. And earlier on this evening on Twitter you were telling me, Hillary Clinton has a 12 point lead and now you're having to look at Florida polls showing a two point lead. But those are two different... That must be very hard for you. They're entirely different things. One is a national poll that showed she had one poll that showed she had a 12 point lead. Others show a nine point lead. Nationally she's been ahead. I don't think we're all very bored of the polls and quite frankly you cannot back them up. Because you just said, I'll just give you an example straight up. You cannot back them up. Not in airtime, not in how often we... I will give you an example straight off the bat of what you just said. No, I won't let you finish. No, no, no. I want to answer your question. No, no, wait. You cannot back them up. Holly Gharani is no match for this woman, that's for sure. No match. No match. You can't back them up. Go ahead and back them up then. Thank you. Because I've worked here 18 years and I can tell you nothing but the truth.

2:37:06 balance. So you were just saying how Trump really struggles with women. You guys seem to love to present us women, and I am vaguely a woman, as victims. I don't see myself as a victim. Many women, hardworking women, don't see themselves as victims. And we could also look at other polls that say 70% of individuals find Clinton to be utterly distasteful. I find her abhorrent to look at. Her little smile there does nothing for me. So nobody, you know, this is in England, in the UK, I believe it's because Holly Gurani, isn't she on CNN international? She's not on the us. She's not on locus. This is CNN international. So where is the control room? Where's the control room? Like, where are they? There's no one's producing this right? Well,

2:37:52 I don't know. I have no idea. That's a good question. They're letting it go. Maybe it's the opposite approach. Wow, catfight. Let it go. Do not stop this. That's what I think. I think you just said women love Hillary. Women do not love Hillary Clinton. I never said that. You're literally misquoting me. Tell me your point. I gave you a poll where she had a 12 point advantage over over Donald Trump and the female... And then the CNN poll. There really are many less. Move on from polls. I'm bored of your polls. Okay, but you just quoted something I said that was completely, actually incorrect. Tell me the correct quote. That women love Donald Hillary Clinton? Wrong word there. Clinton. Now she's just being mean. Now she's just being mean. What does vaguely a woman mean, do you think?

2:38:34 I'm vaguely a woman. I think it was just a British sarcasm. and then fabricate quotes and put them in my mouth. I think where we now sit in politics is in a world of post-truth politics where we surround ourselves with the truth that we want to hear. People echo, enter an echo chamber and hear the stuff they said back to them that they want to hear, which is why people that support Clinton listen to you and why people that support Trump might listen to Neil Fox, for example. Anyway, do ask me some questions you want to ask. Sure, let's talk about

2:39:14 Brexit because no first let me ask you about your support for Donald Trump. There you go What is it about the things that he says? Why do you support Donald Trump's because you're sitting here in Britain? Of course you were pro-brexit and all those things and you have said some absolutely vicious and disgusting things about immigrants You've called them cockroaches. You've said they were feral and that's just rude. It's just rude. But if you call Trump supporters deplorable or you call Trump Hitler it's okay.

2:40:03 Anyone who calls a human being a cockroach is no good. Why do you support Donald Trump? Because for me as a small business owner he really speaks to me and the people like me that work hard for a living. He gets things done. I think we've just seen Obamacare, it crucifies small business owners. You're going to get more of that with Hillary Clinton. You're not going to get that with Trump and I think that's very important. He also gets stuff done. What we've seen with Clinton, essentially she's just the wife of an ex-president. She was there supporting her husband whilst he was in the Oval Office with Monica Lewinsky on her knees. Wow, she conveniently forgets the senator and secretary of state thing. That's interesting. Okay, well we're going to get over... That's not the sort of strong woman I need. Are you going to cut me off because I said... No, not at all.

2:40:47 You just said she's someone's wife when she was Secretary of State. She was someone's wife and he had affairs in the Oval Office and she stood by him. That is not a strong woman for me, honey. Let's, uh... Honey. But if you call me honey, that is just very... You find that hard? Okay, well, why would you like me to call you? No, I find that extremely rude. All right, let's get this back on track. There's more. I'm done. You get the idea. Yeah, there's more. But she was great. It's actually the video kind of helps in this case. I think anyone who would go toe to toe with her, a pro to an extreme of being argumentative, and the British are pretty good arguers if they want to be. I think it's crazy. I don't know why you'd book her. I wouldn't book her in a million years. It was dumb.

AT&T Time Warner Merger and Net Neutrality Concerns

AT&T has reached an $85 billion deal to acquire Time Warner, a move that would grant the telecom giant control over CNN, HBO, and Warner Brothers. Donald Trump has vowed to block the merger, arguing it creates an oligopoly with too much control over information. Critics also warn that the deal could lead to preferential treatment for Time Warner content on AT&T's network, potentially violating net neutrality principles.

at&t· time warner· cnn· hbo· net neutrality

2:41:35 It was dumb, but it was I liked it. It was really. Oh, yeah, I was in the third time the third time and I'm like, I still like it. It's still great. Thank you. I've got two clips left. All right. What do we have uplifting? Yes. Well, the last one for sure. OK. The one about the mass extinction. There's nothing that more uplifting than that. Let's play this This I think is a carryover AT&T Time Warner irony of the day Okay in media news AT&T has agreed to purchase Time Warner for 85 billion dollars approved by federal anti-trust regulators, the merger would give AT&T control over Warner Brothers Film and Television Studios, along with CNN, TNT, HBO and other brands. Critics warn of further limits to competition and higher prices for customers. The merger could also allow AT&T to give preferential treatment to streaming video from Time Warner's companies, which would violate the principles of net neutrality.

2:42:29 On the campaign trail, a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton said the proposed merger raises questions and concerns. Donald Trump's campaign took a harder line, saying in a statement, quote, Donald Trump will break up the new media conglomerate oligopolies that have gained enormous control over our information, unquote. Wow, that's really happening, huh? Yeah. Now wait a minute. So then AT&T buys Time Warner. Do they then also get Spectrum in the deal, which is the new The new Time Warner, like I have Time Warner cable. Does that become AT&T? Yeah. Oh, Jesus. AT&T is horrible. Welcome to the hive. AT&T is horrible. Oh my God. No, it's not. How can that stand from Anticom? You tell me. But is it now approved? Well, it's not.

2:43:24 Absolutely approved. I think it's being held up for some waiting for some more donations to the Clinton Foundation. And you know that Google Fiber has fired a whole bunch of people and they're slowing it all down. Oh yeah, they're bailing out of it. Yeah, well, because they can't make them because they won't be able to make money. They've completely screwed the governments and FCC have completely screwed them out of it. Yeah. I mean, I know they weren't for some reason adept at managing this. What they do is, well, they're one of the biggest lobbying groups. Yes, and they got Eric Schmidt, who's a buddy with all these people. He's a big Democrat. Well, that is very worrisome for sure. Thumbs up. But, you know, I stick close to dudes named Ben and the sysadmins. We'll always have access. It'll all always work. It just won't be on the same level as the Facebag or the Twitters or any of that.

World Wildlife Fund Sixth Mass Extinction Report

A study by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) claims that two-thirds of the world's wildlife could be extinct by the year 2020. Scientist Martin Taylor stated that the planet is currently undergoing its "sixth mass extinction" due to human impact and climate change. Skeptics questioned the timeline and the catastrophic nature of the report, suggesting it is part of a broader effort to promote global warming alarmism.

2:44:17 Okay, apparently not yeah, there's no stopping it. So here's the joke of the day This is the mass extinction now first of all before this is like I think something that came out earlier and like 10 years ago And they've been pushing it and pushing it, but now the problem with this report is the mass extinction We're gonna lose 75% of our species as you hear and in 2020, by 2020, but it's already 2016. So this doesn't seem very unlikely, but still that's what they're promoting because it's all about global warming. A shocking new study by the World Wildlife Fund. Shocking! She's got the thing in her throat. A shocking new study by the World Wildlife Fund finds more than two-thirds of the world's wildlife could be gone by 2020.

2:45:08 According to the WWF, there has already been a 58 percent overall decline in the numbers of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles worldwide. WWF conservation scientist Martin Taylor told CNN, quote, this is definitely human impact. We're in the sixth mass extinction. There's only been five before this, and we're definitely in the sixth. The science is in! Science! Well, let me see. There's still... Mud flats are still there. You can't just gloss over that. Mud flats? It's never gonna happen. What, the mass extinction which usually is the result of a... asteroid? Texas-sized asteroid hitting the planet? Mass extinction. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable. We are all gonna die. That's for sure.

World Series Predictions and Show Outro

The hosts concluded the episode with predictions for the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians. A wager was placed on whether Anthony Weiner would face a "suicide" event before the next broadcast. The show ended with the traditional "Adios Mofos" sign-off and a musical mix featuring political clips and show themes.

Oh, yeah, I think this is the third game that maybe I think it's tonight the

2:46:47 Oh, the Cubs, yeah, the Cubs. Yeah, so they had the two games in Cleveland, the Cubs won one. Now Cleveland has won the first two games in Chicago. Tonight they win the World Series if they can beat Chicago three in a row in Chicago. Wow. Which would also mean that the Cubs have not won a game in a World Series in Chicago forever. But we'll see. They should be able to win this game and get back to Cleveland to lose there. But you never know. The other teams have done that. I would like to say that I believe they're going to go all four seven games.

2:47:26 And that would purely be for the distraction from everything else that's out there at the moment. That would be a fine thing to see and I think everyone would like that. Can you rig baseball? Can you rig baseball the way everything else is rigged? It's not as easy. Very difficult. You have to have too many people involved. Now one of the things you should note is that, and this is to our Boston listeners, I wonder what you guys think right now. Because the Cleveland team has the ex-Boston manager who used to...
