About this episode

Former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes died at age 77 following a fall in his Florida home, sparking a wave of political hit-list theories involving Sean Hannity and the late Seth Rich. The passing coincides with the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel, a move Judge Andrew Napolitano predicts will effectively silence James Comey as a witness in a criminal investigation. These developments arrive as the White House faces internal friction over President Trump frequently going off script during high-level diplomatic meetings.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy dismissed a leaked 2016 audio recording as a failed attempt at humor after he suggested Vladimir Putin was paying Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Professor Stephen Cohen identifies a fourth branch of government comprised of intelligence services that allegedly use leaks to sabotage presidential foreign policy. A 1991 declassified CIA report corroborates this by detailing a task force designed to influence news outlets and turn intelligence failures into public successes. Further scrutiny falls on the DNC staffer Seth Rich murder case, with detective Rod Wheeler claiming a link to WikiLeaks that remains stalled by the Washington D.C. mayor’s office.

Representative Maxine Waters continues her public campaign for impeachment, urging millennials to stay woke while the media pushes historical parallels between the current administration and 20th-century tyrannies. In a lighter moment, the hosts address a debunked Stevie Wonder Atari ad and knight a listener as Sir Ewan of the Ramen Noodles. The episode concludes with a critique of the MP3 format’s supposed death and the cancellation of Tim Allen’s sitcom.

Dick Movie Review, Watergate Parallels and Bernstein Portrayal

A review of the 1999 film "Dick" highlights its comedic take on the Watergate scandal through the perspective of two teenage girls. The portrayal of Carl Bernstein is criticized as potentially offensive, while the film's premise is contrasted with modern political climates. The discussion notes that unlike current events, the Watergate era involved documented physical crimes and payoffs.

00:00 Like, oh yes, great. MP3 is dead! It's dead! It's officially killed! It's dead! Adam Curry John C. DeVorah And it's Thursday May 18th 2017 and this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 930 This...is no agenda four branches of government so you don't have to and broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet in the capital of the drone star state here in the click-click Cluedio. In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where my printer is only printing in brown. I'm John C. Dvorak It's crackpot and buzzkill! Well now that we have that important news out of the way...

00:39 Time for a disclaimer. I have the important news of the day, i have to tell people in advance that i won't be able to make a report that i would normally do because we have too much other news than social news. Oh, i know and i saw it had aired and thought to myself, i said self, i don't think John did it. No, i haven't recorded it yet but i watched the show. But i didn't have time to piece together the fabulous bit that I usually do. I totally understand, I totally understand. However, I did do my extra homework...I'm not saying you didn't do a lot of work but i watched the movie Dick! Ah good for you But this was kind of common- I thought this was a kind of recent movie so I'm searching around on Netflix and Amazon's and by the way if you go online and search for Movie Dick is it not a good search term?

01:32 And then I got distracted for a couple hours and yeah, very hard. Yeah nice one John. One after another even Dick the movies hard to come by you there you go but i will say this is a very good film first of all it's funny in a 1999 kind of way right was the 1999 film very...it's old and the premise is you know the deep throat these two girls 15 year old girls And they wind up through a whole bunch of crazy circumstances actually helping Woodward and Bernstein, which in that movie Will Ferrell plays Woodward.

02:10 And I forget who's Bernstein, but if I were Bernstein, I would hate this movie. Because Bernstein is portrayed as this little natty Jew boy. Just trying to slip in all that...I mean really pretty anti-Semitic. Wasn't it Dustin Hoffman in that movie? No, no, no, it wasn't Dustin Hoffman. Okay. That was All the President's Men, wasn't it? Oh yeah, he was actually...he played the actual...right. What am I thinking? That would be funny! But it was very good and you realize throughout this movie and first of all I can totally see where the current script comes from for oh Watergate impeachment is one important difference there wasn't actual crime an actual break-in there was money being paid off they're all kinds of things going on which is far from what we're hearing today

CHAPTER 02 / 45 Discussion

Roger Ailes Death, Hillary Clinton Hit List Theory

The death of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes at age 77 is framed within a "hit list" narrative involving political figures. Speculation links Ailes' passing to other events, including the death of a partner of Seth Rich and the collapse of North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis. Concerns are raised regarding who might be next on this purported list, specifically mentioning Sean Hannity.

roger ailes· hillary clinton· sean hannity· seth rich· thom tillis· fox news

03:01 But before we move on at all, Hillary's hit list. Chalk one more up Roger Ailes dead at 77 Oh I missed it this is to happen today It's a show day of course it happened today Dad thought you were going to mention the guy there was a guy that was a partner with Seth Rich who dropped dead somehow and I said that's who you're gonna talk about well There's a number of things to talk about but I think Roger Ailes is pretty significant Yes, I would think And I would say Looking at the hit list now that we know that you know it's killing going on. Just killin you can call this coincidence sure Let me take you back to Sean Hannity who I so would say would be the next one on the list

03:51 for something horrible to happen. A little pinprick with an umbrella, perhaps? Here's something he said not too long ago... This was about Obama So yeah, Hit List. I mean Ailes that's a whoo and oh wait there was another...I'm just gonna call it all Hillary's hit list might as well North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis? I don't know if he's dead but he collapsed yesterday which means now there's only 51 senators on the Republican side

04:48 Oh, yeah. Yeah I mean if someone's got a drop dead low gosh let it be Republican senator now again i don't know if he's dead but and it does let's say is put this way makes it kind of convenient and Roger Ailes man wonder what he had I wonder what kinda info we had well I dunno doesn't have any more that was something in there where you said it combined with the Hannity complaining about everything going bad Is this clip, which I thought was very interesting because it was played as a... Let me see if i can find it. It was played as oh here's kind of straight news This is uh man Interesting aside from CBS? I'm just throwing stuff out there That might be it let's play that He is doubting his top advisors even son-in-law Jared Kushner who supported firing FBI director Comey despite the ongoing Russia investigation Yeah

CHAPTER 03 / 45 Discussion

Kevin McCarthy Audio Tape, Putin Payment Joke

The Washington Post reported on a leaked audio recording from 2016 in which House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested Vladimir Putin was paying Donald Trump. McCarthy later characterized the comment as a failed attempt at humor. The discussion focuses on the implications of private conversations being recorded in Washington D.C. and the media's handling of the "tape" versus an electronic recording.

kevin mccarthy· paul ryan· vladimir putin· washington post· audio recording

05:56 No, that's not the clip. But it is a good point. Kushner is the bad actor in this whole thing by the way and... Oh, here it is. CBS bad attempt at humor now listen carefully to this clip and tell me what's wrong The Washington Post is reporting tonight that Paul Ryan's number two House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Ryan and other Republican leaders in a private conversation last year that he thought that Russian President Vladimir Putin was paying Donald Trump His aides initially told the paper that he never said that until they were confronted with the existence of an audio tape. And just a few moments ago, Scott McCarthy told reporters that it was a bad attempt at humor. Whoa whoa wait a minute. That was all there was a lot in that. Let's start with the beginning. McCarthy says I guess he's hanging around his buddies

06:54 And he's, and he as a joke because you know everybody is a joker. I think it was meant as a joke, he didn't mean it seriously even though the New York Times or Washington Post would report it as such but he said, you know, I think just Putin's paying him! And everyone says ah that's very funny. Then the next thing you know it comes out in the newspaper, has anyone ever said anything like that? Not really thinking much about it And then what? An audio tape?! Where did the audio tape come from!? Yeah, that's great. Audio tape no less! Yeah. I mean you love some audio tapes... What they meant was a recording it was probably electronic but it was

07:34 What you can't even, you're in Washington DC now and your hanging out with your pals. Yacking away trying to throw some zingers out there and everything you say is being recorded? Is that what we... Nobody mentions this on the show they just throw it out there as if it was an embarrassment because hey oh really? You didn't say here's their tape! Yeah I there's um let me see but I have a lot of..I have to say I just had to clip a lot We don't have to play everything obviously, but there was something about... Let me see. Let me just see what I have on the so-called tape that was pretty funny. Hmm

CHAPTER 04 / 45 Discussion

Intelligence Community Leaks, CIA Operation Allegations

The surge of former intelligence officials appearing on news networks like CNN and Fox is characterized as a coordinated CIA operation against the presidency. Former Representative Dennis Kucinich is cited for his criticism of the intelligence community's efforts to upend the administration through leaks. The narrative suggests a deep-seated agency bias against Russia and a desire to maintain a Cold War-style conflict.

cia· james comey· don lemon· james woolsey· dennis kucinich· vladimir putin

08:10 Well, we'll get to that. What I wanted to start with is Thursday night after the show and all this stuff was... Wait was it Thursday? It was Thursday or Friday when did The New York Times say oh we've got the Comey memo Was that Thursday? Today's Thursday Sunday God I don't know I'm so confused Sunday You did the same thing last Sunday You're off a show! I'm unhinged Unhinged So it was Sunday night, no must have been Monday night. Let's just say Monday night every single channel including Fox News had CIA guys on I mean Don Lemon the overnight legend had Woolsey former director of CIA

08:56 On his show? Please. They- they threw everything at this, and I'm just sitting there going... Well this is a CIA op! This is obvious! They're behind it! Hello?! Well I know but now we really have.. I mean to see former director Woolsey on Don Lemon's show? No. There's no way that makes no sense for ratings, it makes no sense- Don Lemon's a moron! Woolsey won't go on that unless he's just spewing talking points. Philip Mudd, everybody the disrespectful douchebag Everybody is coming out of it all CIA. Yeah They're overdoing it. Hey, boys! Pull it back a little bit. You're on a roll for God's sake. People are noticing even Democrat Kenneth Kucinich. First of all I read the Washington Post story very carefully and more than that I spent 16 years in the United States Congress tracking all these things that are said about foreign policy

09:52 There's a high BS quotient going on right here and the meter should be going off all over town. We don't need to look to Russia for any affirmation here, we need to ask questions about why is this intelligence community trying to upend the President of the United States with these leaks? Here's The Post story and all over town people are saying well the president did this and that I disagree with President Trump on a number of issues, but on this one there can only be one president and somebody in the intelligence community is trying to upend this president in order to pursue a policy direction that puts us in conflict with Russia. The question is why? And who? We need to find out." So I think Kucinich nails it in this and I want to remind you that Uncle Don and my cousin Lucy was also

10:45 In the agency both of them, you know I think this was a couple years ago when it's at the reunion They're saying like you got Adam. You gotta understand Putin really is a bad guy He's horrible he's trying to bring back the Soviet Union and he's trying to really overthrow everything It's a bad guy they're all in they believe it They totally believe this and what do we come up with maybe that was just Still sour grapes from the last time we did this? Why are they so angry at him, at Russia?" What has he done? I don't know. Maybe he has done something that we don't know about Well it's possible that the whole thing is because Trump is a lizard

CHAPTER 05 / 45 Discussion

Presidential Scripting, White House Staff Isolation

Reports from the White House describe an isolated President Trump frequently reacting to television coverage and deviating from prepared scripts. Intelligence agencies reportedly provide the President with multi-page briefing papers that he insists be condensed into single-page bullet points. Media analysts emphasize the friction caused by the President "going off script" during high-level diplomatic meetings.

jared kushner· james comey· morning joe· national security· briefing papers

11:25 So there's a couple of things I heard, a couple of statements and quotes that keep on recurring. And one of them which I found very odd and then I have a very good example from Morning Joe with one of the panel guys. Now one of the panel guys... By the way, I have a gratuitous Morning Joe clip myself because it's on at 3 in the morning or something you can play if you want It's just him going off on Trump as an idiot. But the thing about, again it sticks in my brain that thing that was done on Saturday Night Live and I got to witness another aspect of it that I thought was kind of just a joke where she turns completely in her chair and faces him and stares at his ear

12:12 It is so weird to watch this show. All the reports I've been hearing out of the White House is the president is running around screaming at television sets, he's increasingly isolated. Basically wanting to fire everybody but Kushner who was also now shooting at all the staff members... Who was behind the firing of director Comey reportedly So now Kushner and Trump are aligned against everybody else blaming everybody else for the firing of Comey when it was Trump that fired Comey and Kushner who supported firing Comey

12:49 Yeah, I have a couple that's very gratuitous. So i'll get back to the topic at hand Every single journalist That I've heard reporting you know stand up guys saying something um continuously talk about The president went off script he went off script with the russians in the oval office He went off script like what is this script? Well, now just listen to these journalists. It's not even about the script they're talking about impeachment bringing down democracy or whatever but they keep talking about the president going off this so-called script and you'll see that this is total... This is interesting because I think this is am that was a good catch because I should have caught that cause they keep your right

13:35 They keep saying that. He went off script, there is a script and you can only guess who's going to go off it and you can only guess who puts the script together. So Greg since you do have obviously good source in the national security community who shared with you their concerns about the president leaking this did he say anything else to the Russians that's important for our viewers or for Americans to hear? Did he for example admonish them for interfering in our election as all the intelligence agencies have confirmed Well, you know that's another one of the one of them confirmed with the high confidence not 100% confirmation The intelligence agencies have confirmed. Well, you know That's another one of them one of the big issues here our story touches on that a bit There is a lot of frustration within the administration there are professionals who are deeply knowledgeable about these regions around the world

14:26 the world and they take time, they put together pages of preparatory material for the president. Two to five page papers for instance were prepared in advance of his meeting with these Russian officials what he was supposed to stick too in terms of a script and what he could expect to hear from them or what their questions were on how to handle those things The president has insisted that all of this material be boiled down to less than a page of bullet points and then often strays even from those. And so in this case, he just again goes off script. Off script! Not dissimilar to how badly went off script Off script! In describing what had- what he had done and why to the FBI director James Comey It's off script they give him a script? Then he doesn't read the script verbatim He thinks he can wing it He ad libs with talking points That's crazy

CHAPTER 06 / 45 Discussion

Stephen Cohen Interview, Fourth Branch of Government

Professor Stephen Cohen discusses the concept of a "fourth branch of government" consisting of intelligence services that thwart presidential foreign policy. Cohen argues that efforts by both Obama and Trump to cooperate with Russia against terrorism were sabotaged by the Department of Defense. The discussion posits that leaks are used as a tool to prevent any rapprochement between Washington and Moscow.

stephen cohen· tucker carlson· fourth branch· department of defense· syria

15:17 I could, that's just nuts. He's off scripting. This explains actually the script concept that they're scripting him and he won't do the script He's president right? I'm the boss why should i be reading your scripts who's writing these scripts well That can only be the intelligence agencies yeah They're writing scripts for him. They're writing scripts and usually like Obama but you know what there's a very good example here it's our good friend professor Stephen Cohen. Right, Cohen was making the rounds on Fox. Yeah, Cohen was on Tucker and I chopped this down significantly of course and i'm going to say of course once today and once only and he came up with... Damn it! I missed that again! ...I've been pretty good although this is how it goes at home now oh yeah? I'll go well yes of course and Tina's like what happened

16:10 I do the same thing when i'm trying to get it out of a habit at dinner and then when I hear somebody else do it, I call them out. People are looking left and right because they don't listen to the show. No, but no they're like what's wrong? Jay will know! She'll know because she listens to this show and she'll be bright about it oh yeah you can see that but everyone else is like well what's the matter So, here's Cohen with his view of Russian collusion and the 4th branch No, and nor have I in these decades you mentioned ever heard an elected member of Congress say that we should have no relations with the Russians at all. Presumably that would include nuclear weapons control when I see...I guess it was a Democrat on the bottom of your screen

17:10 asking what are the Russians doing in the White House anyway? Well, they're doing with President Trump the national security of our nation because what's at stake here is a proposal by Putin of Russia and by Trump of America to join hands in an alliance against international terrorism. And I would have asked you if you had asked me few days ago What's the number one threat to the United States today? I would have said international terrorism. I don't know if you agree Tucker, but it's certainly up there today I would say it's this assault on President Trump Because it's been going on a year and can we be clear what he's being accused of is treason This has never happened in America that there's a Russian agent in the White House and we've had a whole array

17:55 array of allegations from Putin helping get in the White House to his associates are doing wrong things with Russians, that Flynn did something wrong and talking his former national security adviser did something wrong with talking to the Russian ambassador. There's no evidence that there was any wrongdoing and indeed, Flem should have talked to the Russian ambassador. That was his job So this is beyond belief now and has become by this I mean this assault on Trump And his loyalty This has become a national security threat to us in itself i think two motives had driven This I think false narrative against trump that he somehow

18:35 Now that is the best explanation I've ever heard anyone give. In one sentence, that's... That really is the problem! And everyone's all in on it. the intelligence services who have opposed any rapprochement or cooperation with Russia. Remember in 2016, President Obama worked out a deal with Russian president Putin for military cooperation in Syria He said he was going to share intelligence

19:27 with Russia, just the way Trump and the Russians were supposed to do the other day. Our Department of Defense said it wouldn't share intelligence and a few days later they killed Syrian soldiers violating the agreement and that was end of that so we can ask who is making our foreign policy in Washington today? So you and I have to have to ask a subversive question are there really three branches of government or is there a fourth branch of government These Intel services what we know as a fact is is that Obama tried, not very hard but he tried for a military alliance with Putin in Syria against terrorism and it was sabotaged by the Department of Defense and its allies in the intelligence services. Trump says... He said on the campaign trail wouldn't be great to cooperate with Russia? My answer is it would be great! And Trump seems to want that to happen but he's being thwarted every time he gets close we get a new leak

20:27 And once again, I think we have a correct identification of the problem. And this leads me to believe that when the president said hey Comey you better hope there's no...you weren't taped! I still think that people are reading it wrong and I agree with you and he saying hey man those douchebags probably taped us at dinner be careful what you tell because you know it really happened And, you know it's everywhere. I didn't clip it but Napolitano was on Fox and Friends or something stupid like that... ...and he said that Scalia told him that he was convinced CIA was... But that would have been, he said in at the request of President Obama, tapping the Supreme Court Was wiretapping them or surveilling them or whatever

CIA Media Openness Plan, 1991 Declassified Documents

A 1991 declassified CIA report outlines a "Task Force on Greater CIA Openness" designed to influence public perception through relationships with major news outlets. The document reveals how the agency works with reporters to turn intelligence failures into successes and postpone stories detrimental to national security. The discussion concludes that the media remains heavily integrated with agency interests, functioning as an extension of the "fourth branch."

cia· declassified documents· public affairs· media influence· operation mockingbird

21:18 And you just got to believe it. I think this is what's coming to the front! There was a really good document that someone gave me, let me find this for second... and it was a report from CIA, here we go, a report from the CIA declassified documents and this was their media openness plan Let me just bring this up here for a second So this is from 1991 Director of Central Intelligence from the Task Force on Greater CIA Openness. Subject is the Task Force Report on Greater CIA Openness."

21:56 In response to your reference request, the task force addressed the following. How can we do a better job of informing the general public and key constituencies about the need for a strong intelligence effort and about the missions and accomplishments of the intelligence community in a changing world? To what extent are dramatic changes in the world situation and needs of oversight and accountability to American people and their representatives dictate a re-examination policies on classification and release records? And finally how can use openness to learn from others outside the agency in order to improve our capabilities and our people. And they talked to television and newspaper news directors, and they came up with an assessment... They have all the questions here I guess they gave them a questionnaire let me get to the results here this is one of those scan documents so you can't search in it right yeah and

22:56 The idea. Of course, this would always happen while I'm doing this segment here we go. Ah! I'm having your scrolling... All the participants agreed that an effective public affairs program for the CIA was necessary and that whatever changes were made to increase openness all would expect the CIA to keep the secrets it is charged to protect In whatever program we pursue, we should get our employees on board first. Be consistent be excellent, be credible admit that when we are wrong personalize the agency and preserve the mystique." And this came from media officials

23:36 Oh, please preserve the mystique. And you got to get everybody on board first." Well yes but they nowadays it's very easy to write these sorts of memos because nobody in the media who are all on board too will ever discuss or dissect them thing the way you're doing right now because they're all part of the whole scheme it's a giant scheme fantastic Yes! It is...it's a huge scheming and truly is CIA who's doing this Document states, for the non-recent article about it. CIA Task Force now has relationships with reporters from every major wire service newspaper news weekly and television network in the nation and that this has helped us turn some intelligence failure stories into intelligence success stories and is contributed to the accuracy of countless others furthermore it explains how the agency has persuaded reporters to postpone change hold or even scrap stories they could have adversely affected national security interest or jeopardize sources and methods

24:34 I guess CIA is pretty damn powerful. Yeah, fourth branch. Truly the fourth branch! What are you gonna do if you're... Here's the thing that gets me about their current situation Let's assume all this is correct and I have to do that It goes to Zephyr what time is it? Let's assume all this is correct There was no organization of this size where everybody's in total agreement Yeah, I agree In our organization its easy for us to agree And we're not in total agreement. Not always So there's so there's factions because it has to be there always is Factions within the agency and there's only one faction that this Trump haters that you have personal connections with And the Trump hate not to the Trump haters and of Putin haters is what really the base of it They hate Trump cuz yes, are they because of the Putin connection? Yeah, and Well, they'll find it the Putin connection

25:37 And then, did you try that little device again? No. So what turns that off in other words is the Putin hate bad guys bad guys a bad guy is that something that's old school Is that new school? Is that something as fading? Is that something that was growing this is what I don't understand We don't know any of this This is why so even this memo let us be more open You win they're not open at all we have no idea What the hell's going on I mean, on one hand it would make sense that they need to have an enemy. An enemy that is an intelligence agent... enemy? So for their own preservation. Well yes, to maintain their budget But also they are a huge industry The drugs, the guns We know this is what they do It's probably They could probably top the Dow

CHAPTER 08 / 45 Discussion

Erik Prince Interview, Safari Club and Russia

Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, addresses allegations regarding a back-channel meeting in the Seychelles and discusses the "Safari Club," a 1970s-era rogue CIA operation. Prince argues that the U.S. and Russia share a common interest in fighting Islamic terrorism. He criticizes the American left for shifting from Soviet sympathizers to modern Russia hawks based on political convenience.

erik prince· blackwater· seychelles· safari club· islamic terrorism· tucker carlson

26:33 Now one of the guys, I got a clip from this guy. This is Eric Prince our buddy. Yeah! Was he doing the rounds as well? No, I only saw him once and... I forget where I saw him but what was interesting He's on Tucker that's what you saw But he was never Chironed as Blackwater. In Tucker's intro he said, Blackwater but then it was like former Navy SEALs. Well he is not with Blackwater anymore I know but he is the douchebag that set it up Yes well he is But he also very tight with the intelligence community and in fact I was reading some bio of him his operation Blackwater actually hired the CIA to do things

27:19 So in many ways the CIA was working for him. Yes, yes! This is... oh no and you sent me that article to read last night That's another thing that is interesting. Yes, again there is where George HW Bush shows up prominently in a covert kind of rogue CIA operation called the Safari Club. And it was a bunch of different rogue agents... I never heard about this Safari club, that was new to me Yeah, it was new to me too. But none of it was a surprise. Now who is in it? It's supposedly Saudi Arabia France... Who else was in it?

28:01 I was a bunch of guy, uh Iran when it was run by the Shah. Yeah yeah and a bunch of other groups and they informed this you then they were to cause trouble in Zaire and some other things it's very interesting memo you should put in the show notes so people can read is right? It's already in there and just as a little aside Show Day possible terror attack Times Square car driving up the wrong direction 7th Avenue mowing people down Oh, okay. Yeah there you go. Show day yeah so Eric Prince though is like he's connected in a very interesting way I think he'd be actually good guy to have a beer with we said about Comey too and now i'm thinking he's a douche I think comey might be worth having a beer with well he might be a douche but it did a lot of people have beers or douches it's hell yeah now now prince has got a perspective that's a little different and he is

28:55 He's bringing some things up that I think is messaging to the intelligence community in a very funny kind of way. Russia isn't the only foreign policy concern we face despite the news of the past week. President Trump is about to visit numerous countries during his first trip abroad as president and he's considering a proposal to send thousands of US troops to bolster Afghanistan's government. It's not like we haven't been reporting this for the past month and a half about the buildup in Kuwait City getting ready there, He's not sending them they're already in the region they're in the theater Yeah yeah were are the only ones reporting it Yes thank you To bolster Afghanistan's goverment

29:31 Eric Prince is a former Navy SEAL. He founded the private military company Blackwater. Some reports say that he was in the Seychelles recently to establish a back channel between Trump and the Russian government, he says that is untrue. He joins us tonight but undeniably has views about Russia how well first of all That's not true The reports are not true Well first of all if there is this leftist conspiracy Of this great Trump and Putin conspiracy Why would I have to be meeting with anybody at the Seychelles to establish a back channel anyway? It's kind of a... You can make meaning at Starbucks, I'm bet somebody haven't. It's a self-defeating argument. Good point. How should we see the Russians? Look the Russians suffer from Islamic terrorism as well whether it's attacks in their subways, their schools, the Beslan massacre killed over 300 kids

30:14 They suffer from it as badly as we do. So that is actually one area of common interest that the United States, Western civilization and Russia should have with the Russians That seems an obvious point Trump ran on that point a lot of people thought it was common sense Why the resistance to that among foreign policy professionals in DC? It's amazing when I grew up in the Cold War The left loved the USSR Yes Never wanted to never criticize it ever And now this you have A more authoritarian but not a communist running Russia, they are the bad guys. It's amazing how that works Is it because it is an orthodox country? Is it a religious question I mean what is that about? Not embracing the leftist world view I guess This rush to judgment by the left I guess is kind of perfect for the Democratic Party The party of lynch mobs and Jim Crow laws Rushing to judgment without much fact

CHAPTER 09 / 45 Discussion

Special Counsel Appointment, Seth Rich Leak Theory

The appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel is discussed alongside new developments in the Seth Rich murder case. There is a prevailing theory that Rich, a DNC staffer, was the source of the WikiLeaks DNC email dump rather than Russian hackers. Meanwhile, media rhetoric regarding the "I-word" (impeachment) has intensified following the Comey memo revelations.

31:06 I heard that. I was like, I got to remember to say that when someone's like... Rushing the judgment with no fact! This is reminding me when he said they're rushing the judgment with no facts which is what we're witnessing Yeah Is reminding me of my two liberal buddies Oh, yes. Yeah yeah you're a newspaper guy. And they're on the verge they are gloating so much about them which we'll talk about and I think maybe we should just back up a second and mention there's three major stories that were trying to discuss at the same time. One is the phony baloney little memo from Mueller No, no. From Comey not Mueller. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Comey the second one is the hiring of Mueller to be a special counsel even though they keep calling her a special prosecutor which is fantastic choice

31:52 Yeah, it's for a number of different reasons and the last one is the uncovering of more information about the death of such Seth Rich. The DNC staffer who is the one that I believe and I think you would agree maybe that he's the one who leaked to DNC documents the WikiLeaks Yeah, there's there is a problem with this story and it broke big And then was then immediately the pushback came although not with any video or audio of anybody Apparently the family saying oh that guy doesn't represent us. I have a clip of that guy if you want to if you want to play it Yeah, I want to get to that after I just mentioned the two liberals. I'm working on a bet because they're all giddy about the Mueller thing because they don't realize the law has actually been changed a little bit and even though in the hiring of Mueller he was supposed to go after the Russian connection to Hillary Clinton

32:50 hack, and prove it or disprove it. But in the document that was put down by the assistant attorney general he says an all related matters yes and everyone's all giddy about that thing you're on now that Trump is doomed he's gonna get be impeached I'm seeing yeah it's not impeach John its the I word I haven't heard that. Oh! In the last 24 hours we keep hearing that i-word a lot It's everywhere, it's every... clip after clip with i-word impeachment, i-word, i-word impeachment The i-words like its saying fuck The i word, the f word, the r word, the s word, the m word, and n word And in future will just be going hey Hey you N Word How are you doing on that i-word thing? Now

33:44 Since you got to anyways, we were trying to form a bet on how long Trump's gonna last because they think he's going to bail. Now this bail thing is the one thing that's- Are they thinking he's gonna bail or be impeached? Or like Nixon, he will bail before he's impeached. Yeah! The script. It's the script. Now here is... of course again I've warned people about it this happens you know after this after the two-year mark you got you're gonna have a dominionist Christian in office good luck yeah I mean we can live with it. We want pens Now, so Deutsche Welle which had one of the harshest reports and it almost sounded like it was scripted by CBS which is the Central Intelligence Agency broadcasting system. It had all the... because I have the CBS reports and I listened to Deutsche Welle they said Deutsche Welle took a kicked it up a notch and brought in a professor from American University who's

CHAPTER 10 / 45 Discussion

Chris Edelson Interview, Constitutional Amendment Proposal

Professor Chris Edelson suggests creative legal avenues for removing the President, including resignation, the 25th Amendment, or a new constitutional amendment for a special election. The feasibility of these options is questioned given the Republican majority in Congress. The proposal for a constitutional amendment is specifically mocked as being historically slow and impractical.

chris edelson· deutsche welle· 25th amendment· american university· resignation

34:44 This guy is, talk about unhinged. He has just gone completely nuts and like my liberal friends he assumes this is all a done deal Well I'm joined now by Chris Edelson assistant professor in the Department of Government at American University in Washington he's author of the book Power Without Restrained. Mr. Edelson, it's good to have you on the show We have heard in the last 24 hours that the US president needs To be disciplined along with The White House Do you think that the power of President Trump Needs to be restrained? What?! What? Restraining the power Of The President Is that what they're calling- This guy is calling for

35:25 No, wait until you hear what he actually wants. Yes this is a national crisis we need to think creatively about what to do the Speaker of the House who had on during hearing moment ago said we need to be slow The legal matters need to be sorted out but he should go now people should be calling him in to resign We should think creatively if he doesn't resign about what we can do to solve this problem Well what can be done? Why don't put your creativity hat on for us for a second What could be done to get him out of office tonight Two options. One is impeachment was mentioned, that's possible. Impeachment is slow though and it of course requires two-thirds of the majority in the Senate to vote to impeach, to remove him from office which I doubt will happen That would require Republicans to take action. Uh...I doubt it

36:13 We should talk about—that's why resignation is another option. There is a process under the 25th Amendment where the vice president and the Cabinet can declare that the president is not fit to serve, and they can—that can result in his removal. Congress would have to approve that too. I think we should think about calling for a constitutional amendment to call for a new election. We should explore all of these possibilities. None of these are going to happen immediately but they should all be explored. The quickest thing could happen would be for him to resign We should call on him to do that. Well, Mr Edelson, you know barring a resignation all of these measures that you suggest are only possible if A majority in Congress wants it and the only majority we have in the US Congress is a Republican majority I got to top here. I'm sorry gotta talk That's not the craziest theory. I've heard maybe your boys can get in on this from author Alan Lickman You familiar with him?

37:08 Yeah, but before you go there I want to deconstruct a couple things that were said here. One the Deutsche Welle guy says we have a Republican Congress. Yeah well he means CIA and the other thing is that Nobody mentioned the constitutional amendment, which is the stupidest thing the guy says. I don't know if you can top that but it's pretty dumb and it takes forever to get one of those passed. Does anyone have to realize the Equal Rights Amendment has never been ratified? Yeah, never been ratified by the House. Ratified state-by-state-by-state

CHAPTER 11 / 45 Discussion

Allan Lichtman Claims, Environmental Crimes Against Humanity

Author Allan Lichtman proposes that the President could be impeached for "crimes against humanity" related to environmental policy and climate change. Lichtman cites a 2009 letter signed by Donald Trump and his children urging action on climate change to highlight a shift in political calculation. The discussion questions the existence of this letter and why it was not utilized during the 2016 campaign.

allan lichtman· climate change· impeachment· crimes against humanity· 2009 letter

37:46 All right, you can top it though. I can top it because besides the 25th amendment which would mean the president is incapable and vice president he's yelling at TVs! Yes that...I have example after example of this stuff It was just like shooting fish in a barrel No no Alan Lickman author do you respect him in any regard as an author? I don't really know him and i don't know his works. Okay, I don't think you'll need to read it after you hear this little uh diddy he has written a book called um crimes against humanity? I know we associate crimes against humanity typically with genocide like what happened in Cambodia in the 1970s or horrifically in the holocaust... Don't even get me started on how the Trump

38:31 team deals with the Holocaust. That was my last book, FDR and the Jews. What? Yeah because they hate the Jews! The Jews and the Jews... yeah don't even get me started about how he hates the Jews and denies the Holocaust that was a pretty bad Jewish accent that was my last book FDR and the Jews oh shit let's just listen to it again I'm just gonna call that guy a douchebag douche bag the holocaust don't even get me started on how the Trump team deals with the Holocaust All right. However, the International Criminal Court which prosecutes genocides has recently put a new priority on crimes against the environment which would include catastrophic climate change my wife who's a climate activist runs a climate change pack alerted me to all these things that are going on with climate change now let me quote you something

39:28 In 2009, a group of businessmen wrote a letter to then-President Barack Obama. This is more than seven years ago and they said the science is irrefutable. Irrefutable! I thought it was irrefutable? I never heard it pronounced... You can pronounce it both ways, I'm pretty sure you can. Irrefutable this controversy that unless we take strong action against climate change the consequences are going to be catastrophic for our planet. And they went on to say, doing this won't hurt the economy it'll help the economy by moving us into a new economic era. Guess who signed that letter? Donald J Trump, Ivanka Trump Eric Trump and Donald Jr What has changed in seven plus years

40:17 Science is even more compelling. Over 97% of scientists who publish in this area are in agreement The threat is more... At least he said it correctly, except that shouldn't be published but should be published In this area. Over 97 percent of scientists who publish in this area are in agreement The threat is more immediate and more urgent you can read about it every day So what has changed is only Donald Trump's political calculation that to make it in the Republican Party, he had to join the discredited ranks of the deniers or at minimum of skeptics. And he has taken so many policies that not only hold progress in dealing with climate change but throttle back progress. The Donald Trump of 2009 would be the first one calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump

41:13 The science is in! Science! So he can be impeached for crimes against humanity. No, I guess environment. Environment and humanity. Crimes against the environment. Well the environment is humanity somehow but now do we have a copy of that letter? I'd like to see that's very funny. Do we know it exists or is this guy full of crap? I've no idea. I don't have a copy. But I do have a nice little envelope. It should be there by the way Just as an aside, you and I are both social media mavens. We know what we're doing. And social justice warriors. That letter should have been all over the Twitterverse in the Facebooks... I agree! Where is it? Yeah, I don't know This one guy has this note that I would have thought would've shown up during the campaign. I thought-I would think if this letter existed that Hillary would be shaking it at the podium Don't ya think? Go for it War Room go for it

CHAPTER 12 / 45 Discussion

Carl Higby CNN Debate, Anonymous Sources

Trump operative Carl Higby engaged in a heated debate with CNN's Chris Cuomo regarding the media's reliance on anonymous sources. Higby challenged reporters to name their sources, while Cuomo defended the practice as essential to investigative journalism. The segment highlights the growing tension between the administration and "stellar reporters" over the validity of leaked information.

carl higby· chris cuomo· cnn· anonymous sources· journalism

42:12 Now, what I really like and Tucker did this with somebody and a couple of hosts have been saying okay is there evidence? Well no their sources say. Yeah but is there evidence now that's you know we got sources You're going to love this. Now, you can try this out but I don't know if you'll get the same result but you should tape it with your little tape recorder when you talk to your boys or newspaper boys and say kind of the same things that former Navy SEAL Carl Higby, of course a Trump operative

42:48 Went on that morning show with Cuomo and what's the girl's name? Who was with the Cuomo kid. I don't, Shannon is not my baby. Yeah, I forget her name And he did this line of counter questioning by saying well What are the sources and you want to hear someone get triggered Listening to all this BS, quite frankly. And did you listen to anything McMaster said today where he said I was in the room that didn't happen nothing inappropriate was shared? You're basing all these allegations off of one or maybe two sources which CNN reports two former officials knowledgeable the situation confirmed a CNN at the main points of the story act too formal former officials and

43:30 Tell you what, come out and name those people then we'll have something to talk about. One, we protect sources Two it's not just CNN It's Washington Post New York Times Wall Street Journal CNN ABC NBC Who are the sources? Carl Who are the sources Oh because they're hiding behind this anonymity Oh Paul Lee! Paul Lee do not even start with me that your going to attack sources That is ridiculous So are you saying McMaster is lying I'm not saying McMaster is lying. Well, he didn't really answer the question. He said nothing inappropriate was shared. That's his opinion but that's his opinion. You cannot say you cannot attack these stellar reporters of CNN who have their sources and would protect their reporters. The stellar reporters of CNN that I am going to attack right now and say guess what? I don't believe them because they're staying anonymous if they are that if they stand behind this story come out face the camera. All we've been doing is facing the camera Carl! The people who were in that room...

44:22 We have anon- anonymous sources, we protect them for real reasons. So the information that is important to the public can get out. I mean those were anonymous sources was that not a real story? I'm saying there's been so many anonymous sources but seriously so Watergate just it was all a lie because it was anonymous sources It was a trial Yeah there was an actual crime that took place and actual trial I love this What Carl what are you talking about? Sources all day telling everybody this Come out the sources. You know that sources thing became such an issue that when CBS finally did it, and we might as well play one of these intros so we can get to the topics... No no you can't! You can't get to the topic this is the topic but okay Well it IS the topic and I think during the full Comey rundown at CBS 1 which is this clip CBS was so paranoid about the source's thing

CHAPTER 13 / 45 Discussion

James Comey Memo, Obstruction of Justice Allegations

Reports indicate James Comey wrote a memo alleging the President asked him to shut down the investigation into Michael Flynn. Legal analysts note that if Comey believed obstruction occurred, he was required by law to report it immediately to the DOJ. The Senate Intelligence Committee has requested all of Comey's notes, including those from the Obama and Clinton eras.

james comey· michael flynn· obstruction of justice· fbi· department of justice

45:18 that they had to throw in a gratuitous little ditty at the very beginning of the report, that I know stemmed from the fact that these sources are very questionable and this whole report is probably bullcrap. The former FBI director James Comey fired last week by President Trump wrote a memo claiming that the president tried to shut down the FBI's investigation of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn This story was first reported this evening by the New York Times, but our source has confirmed the contents of the memo. Comey wrote the memo after meeting with the president and he notes that President Trump said that he hoped Comey would let go of the Flynn investigation

46:01 Presidents usually try not to influence FBI investigations of their administrations to avoid the appearance of obstruction of justice. Tonight, the White House denies that President Trump tried to shut down the investigation and our Justice Correspondent Jeff Pegues has more on this breaking story President Trump and then FBI Director James Comey met at the White House on February 14th, the day after National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was fired. Flynn had lied to the Vice President about his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak Those contacts are now under investigation by the FBI. Comey wrote up a memo about the meeting with the president In it he said that Mr. Trump had asked him to drop the Flynn investigation

46:48 I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go," he wrote. He is a good guy. A senior White House official denied that account and said the president never asked Mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation, including any investigation involving General Flynn Just last week, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe told Congress there has been no interference in the Russia investigation. So there has been no effort to impede our investigation today But a law enforcement source told CBS News there is a whole lot of interfering happening. Comey was fired last week and the president said it was because of his handling of the Russia investigation. In 2014 60 Minutes interview, Comey said it was imperative that FBI resist any political pressure. Hold on a second you said that he Trump did not change the story?

47:41 No, Trump didn't say that he fired Comey because of the Russian investigation. This is what's being said I know but he put it on the memo which was written by this assistant attorney general and that memo which is what Trump used as leverage to fire Comey specifically said it was about Hillary emails that he got fired. It wasn't because of this, this has been twisted to say this and furthermore the more interesting thing about this whole story is let me read from his article following piece of information under the law Comey is required to immediately inform the Department of Justice of any attempt to obstruct justice by any person even the president failure to do so would result in

48:27 It's a felony. Yes, it's 18 USC and 28 U.S. Code 1361. He would also upon sufficient proof lose his license to practice law if he didn't report it immediately. Yeah that's a small problem just as so this is bullcrap there was another letter that was sent from a number of senators and it's in the show notes at 930 dot no agenda notes dot com And in that memo, the Senate Intelligence Committee says hey since the according to The New York Times and everything that's been reported Comey was taking copious notes. So we presume he did data for Obama and Hillary and we'd like those as well so we'd like all of the notes not just the ones about Trump which I think is a nice little curveball

CHAPTER 14 / 45 Discussion

Judge Napolitano Analysis, Special Counsel vs Prosecutor

Judge Andrew Napolitano explains that Robert Mueller's appointment will likely silence public testimony from James Comey as he becomes a witness in a criminal investigation. The discussion explores the linguistic nuances between "special prosecutor," "independent counsel," and "special counsel." Mueller's authority is derived from newer statutes following the expiration of the Independent Counsel Act.

andrew napolitano· robert mueller· grand jury· special counsel· legal definitions

49:22 It's a curveball that is going to go nowhere. But the reason it was going nowhere, as far I can tell, was only explained once and it was explained by Judge Napolitano. You might as well play this clip. This is when Napolitano lays it out Okay. First thing he's going to do is impound on that grand jury. Everybody gets a letter to preserve everything, written and digital You don't surrender anything to anybody because I get to look at it first That includes the materials that have been subpoenaed by the Senate And the materials that have been subpoenaed by the House So this will really ratchet down things waiting for an end result Republicans want their end results soon

50:18 The Democrats want the end result closer to the 2018 election. That's going to be determined by Bob Mueller and the facts as he sees them, but this is going to be a below-the-radar screen Bob Mueller in charge investigation." So if James Comey had a desire to sort of tell his side of this story And, you know his name was really trashed in many ways by the president after his firing which I know you took some issue with. He will not get that opportunity now. Correct. He's going to have to wait for that. He now knows that he will be a witness in a criminal investigation and he knows that he should not say anything until he testifies before a grand jury or he testifies-not testifies but gives evidence to Bob Mueller's investigators who used to work for him

51:05 I have a nuanced question about this. First it was we need a special prosecutor, then we needed a special investigator and now we have a special counsel? Yeah. I really think the words matter. Do you know what the nuance is in this particular case? No, I don't know the absolute nuance but I know that a special prosecutor who's based on that law that has long since been repealed and this is based on a newer law... Which gave him wider range they could go wandering around and find you know which has happened more than once Yeah where the guys decided just to go crazy And just because he got all his power, and it was always the fear that this could happen again with the next guy Even though. He's a council I don't think it's I don't think is that different But it is a different name so we have to continue to kind of look into it. I have no I

CHAPTER 15 / 45 Discussion

Jason Chaffetz Interview, House Oversight Investigation

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz discusses the committee's pursuit of James Comey's notes despite the special counsel appointment. Chaffetz defends Robert Mueller's credentials as "unassailable" while noting that the White House received very little notice before the appointment. The segment highlights the political pressure on the DOJ to establish independence from the executive branch.

jason chaffetz· robert mueller· fbi· house oversight committee· nancy pelosi

51:54 I just wanted to be because based on that the Palatino clip, I actually had a setup clip for that which i want to play. Because what you heard there I think is right. I think Comey for example if he testifies or says anything to anybody when they impanel the grand jury he's going to be grilled about that with no way to defend himself because you don't get an attorney to help you in a grand jury you just have to talk so I wonder how dumb both the Senate committee is and the House committee when I hear a clip like this one, this is the setup clip with Chaffetz Chafey. Chafey's the guy who was head of the house committee that will be investigating this. Last night the house oversight committee asked the FBI to produce all

52:40 of the notes of former Director Comey's conversations with the president. Jason Chaffetz chairs that committee and he is joining us now from Utah Mr. Chairman how does the appointment of a special prosecutor change your plans to investigate this? Oh look, the house has its own equities and we will continue to pursue our own investigation and still plan and hope to have hearing with director Comey as early as next week I have a Schafer's Clip. Any bets on this? I would bet no, yeah I'd bet no. I have a Schafer's Clip So you heard Nancy Pelosi the longtime Democratic leader in the house describe Robert Mueller as not truly independent do you think he is truly independent

53:26 He's as good as it gets. I mean, his credentials are impeccable he served in the Bush administration and the Obama administration No, he is unassailable in terms of his credentials, his background And I think your point is well taken In the latter part of his career he has nothing to prove He has been silent politically It doesn't get any better than Robert Mueller If you're going to do it...I also agree that they shouldn't have actually appointed somebody Why did they? I mean, i think they're feeling the political heat. Maybe they're watching a little too much television and reading too many newspapers and whatnot but look...I have not seen any evidence of actual collusion where is the actual crime that they think they need a special prosecutor to prosecute? I just haven't seen that there's been a lot of flailing but that flailing started before January 20th did you expect this

54:17 I'm very surprised by it. No heads up, I don't think the Speaker's office got a heads up and at least read online that the White House only got about 30 minutes heads-ups so no, it caught us totally out of the blue We have several attorneys in our producer pool And of course, it didn't take long. So what is a special counsel and what is the difference between a special counsel or a special prosecutor and an independent counsel? The terms are largely interchangeable to refer to someone appointed to investigate allegations that could involve a conflict of interest within the Department of Justice but the manner in which they're appointed and why has changed over time here comes The statute regarding the grounds for appointing a special counsel says, the attorney general or acting attorney general in cases where the attorney general is recused can appoint a special counsel when a case presents a conflict of interest for the Justice Department or other extraordinary circumstances. In this case Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was able to appoint Mueller because Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself so it's kind of the same thing as just who gets to appoint him

CHAPTER 16 / 45 Discussion

Robert Mueller Background, Pan Am 103 Connection

Robert Mueller's career history is examined, including his leadership of the FBI post-9/11 and his role in the Pan Am 103 investigation. Reference is made to Adam Curtis's documentary "HyperNormalisation," which suggests Mueller helped shift blame for the bombing from Syria to Libya. The discussion also notes Mueller's past professional ties to Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg.

robert mueller· pan am 103· fbi· adam curtis· libya· muammar gaddafi

55:20 who gets to appoint the counsel. Now let's talk about Mueller for a moment, because we know a couple things about Mueller. Let's just background her one he came in a few months before 9-11 his 10 year term meant to not have J Edgar Hoover crap going on and FBI was extended by I believe two years by Obama He had an office at Facebook. He had his own office and would walk in hey Zuck how you doing? That wasn't Time magazine So what do we think of this guy for this? Well, I would like to play because there's a little gotcha in there that you left out of your list which makes this clip even better. This is the Mueller CBS rundown one. Thanks Obama!

56:06 Rundown one. Okay, we're reporting from the White House tonight because of the rapidly developing investigation into whether the president tried to shut down an FBI investigation Of his administration among the developments late today The Department of Justice announced it will appoint a former FBI director Robert Mueller as as an independent special counsel to investigate the Trump administration and allegations of Russian interference with the presidential election. The chairman of the House Oversight Committee tells CBS News he expects fired FBI director James Comey will testify next Wednesday, The stock markets fell sharply in the turmoil

56:51 The Dow was down 372 points, almost 2%. The Nasdaq fell by more than two and a half percent. Mr Trump complained today that quote no politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly it's been another day of momentous events and Jeff Begayes has the latest The tipping point came yesterday when it was revealed that former FBI Director James Comey had taken notes about his February meeting with President Trump. The meeting took place the day after National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was fired for lying to the Vice President. Does this guy have to take an unbelievable dump or what? got crap any minute.

57:54 That raised the specter of obstruction of justice. And today, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided that the Justice Department could no longer run the investigation He authorized a special counsel to ensure a full and thorough investigation of the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election Rosenstein's pick of Robert Mueller to run the investigation puts a veteran law enforcement official at the helm. Mueller is best known for leading the FBI for 12 years after the 9-11 attacks, before that he led the US investigation of the Pan Am 103 bomb in 19... Oh man! Damn it, bend over you. Oh crap! Crap! No one ever talks about that. Oh

58:47 As an aside, in Texas we say Miller and not Mueller. For some unknown reason. Miller? We say Miller, yeah! Miller. It's over there by Miller. I like to call him Mueller because then you go... Mueller! Mueller! You gotta find out who that guy was how did he get into the broadcasting? Mueller. That guy is the perfect voice for podcasting. Sounds like an engine trying to start up. He has a perfect voice for podcasting really Sorry. I see it! Hey, just a little... Pan Am the most corrupt situation in fact there was highlighted in that movie you love so much. Yes! Yeah. Hypocrisy which is Adam Curtis's latest flick two and half hours long but everyone should watch this movie all no agenda yeah except the end he goes little bit off the rails for my taste. Well he's trying to soften up a bit but he talks all about the Pan-Am

59:49 Yes, yes disaster and apparently Mueller was the gal part of the guy who was like shifted this blame from Syria where the blame belonged to Libya which is a Great stuff about Libya in that movie how Qaddafi was just a stooge every time he turned around yeah And there's Mueller. There is The best part about that and I remembered it Is that Trump gave? Gaddafi land for him to pitch his tent Yeah, and then bragged about ripping him off. Uh-oh! Uh-oh! I want you to be queen My love for you is almost obscene Really hope you know what i mean Maxine...Maxine...Maxine

Maxine Waters Impeachment Call, Russia as Enemy

Representative Maxine Waters continues her public campaign for impeachment, urging millennials to "stay woke" regarding Russian collusion. The discussion critiques the prevailing narrative that Russia is a definitive enemy, pointing out continued cooperation on the International Space Station. Analysts suggest the media is "easing history" into the public consciousness to justify a hardline stance against Moscow.

maxine waters· impeachment· russia· start treaty· space station

1:00:39 We don't have to be afraid to use the word impeachment. We don't have to think that impeachment is out of our reach all we have to the American public, that we're keeping them involved. That we're resisting every day and challenging every day and calling this president to account for what he's doing and saying. I believe in this strongly so I don't know what will happen after today when all of the questions are being raised about him sharing I think this is going to put us a little bit further on our way to what i've been calling for so long and that is impeachment. Thank you. My millennials, stay woke! Yo she is beautiful now there's something else besides the violation of US code by Comey if he didn't report the so-called intimidation

1:01:40 is that the president is the final arbiter of what's classified and what's not. Yeah, you can do that whenever you want. And the president can declassify everything if he wanted to. He wouldn't, of course, do that and there's probably some stuff that super high level top secret that no one knows exists to be declassified but generally speaking, the classification is under his final control so even leaks classified information, you just declassify it Yeah, but this is not what is being discussed. The programming that's going into people's brains and it really is in there with very intelligent people who I know personally they truly believe

1:02:22 And these are people who are not getting up for a re-election or up for an election in 2018. These are people who are not electable for anything They truly believe that this was collusion with our enemy, so they also believe Russia is our enemy We're not doing it there's no nuclear treaty the START treaty as none of that now There's nothing we're not trying to fight terrorism together Now there's none of that knows clearly that we have it we have a Russian into space station kick that kick that guy out. We can't even get to the space station without the Russians help, but what is happening is certainly for the older audience who are the only people watching MSNBC CNN and Fox for the older audience were kind of

Timothy Snyder Interview, Hitler Parallels and Loyalty

Yale professor Timothy Snyder appears on MSNBC to discuss historical parallels between the Trump administration and 20th-century tyrannies. Snyder compares the President's request for loyalty from the FBI director to the operations of the Nazi SS. The discussion mocks these comparisons as an embarrassment to historical study and a "loyalty meme" twisted by the media.

timothy snyder· msnbc· watergate· hitler· ss· loyalty

1:03:05 easing history into it for everybody. This is a promo from MSNBC for the lesbian, and the lesbian being Chris Hayes of course. Watergate... We know its name because there were reporters who never stopped asking questions Now who knows where the questions will take us but I do know this- I'm not gonna stop asking them That's right! Questions just like Watergate we're not gonna stop asking them I am Chris Hayes MSNBC be better And they're bringing in historians. a function of asking you a lot of questions. It was mostly a function of meeting some guy in the basement, two 15 year old girls besides the girls meeting some guy in the basement who was a CIA guy who is feeding them the information that they would just write down and then report it's just bullcrap well here

1:04:06 Here's a professor from Yale, Timothy Snyder on that same MSNBC History channel. Timothy let me start with you and your book on tyranny we were just talking about how so much of what we've seen over the last three four months has been described as unprecedented and that there is not great sense in history in America or history in the world Oh John do you know this is precedent this isn't unprecedented I mean what does it remind you of? It's not just Watergate You take a little bit longer view of things in this book Yeah, what I try to do is imitate the founding fathers when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution. They were worried about yeah, I'm imitating them right now Hey where's my slave? Yeah, I'm imitating the founding father the founding fathers when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution I think he meant to say irritating the Founding Fathers Maybe just miss great sense of history be in America or history In the world you take a little bit longer view of things in this book

1:04:59 Yeah, what I try to do is imitate the founding fathers. When the founding fathers wrote the Constitution they were worried about the future of their republic and looked back at examples of democracies and republics failing. When we can today look back on the 20th century we also see that most republics and most democracies fail. What history can do is spread our imagination so that we can see how they fail and give us tools to help us because a lot of things are happening are just the early stages of processes that have happened elsewhere. So history can help. And what do you see in terms of a parallel of the last... History can help! 20th century, as we've watched for the first few months of the Trump administration is there a parallel? Oh John come on this is an ask John What's the parallel? What's the parallel between- Hitler Yes Of course they're all kinds of parallels and every day one sees a new one so for example with the firing Mr Comey There were couple things First of all The idea of loyalty

1:05:49 Loyalty is a way that you take a rule of law state like ours off the rails and transform it into something else. When the president asked the FBI director for loyalty, he's actually- Is he implying that this was against the law? No! It's Hitlerian Wait for it. of

1:06:39 The SS, they become more important than the police. It's a baby step forward to use the head of your private bodyguard to fire the FBI director but it's a troubling indication of the way this man's mind works. Yes! He is a red mine cunt one time too many. Wow that is okay clip of the day for you two thank you very much. Now this is an embarrassment to anyone who's ever studied history. And by the way, just ask for loyalty meme? Yeah It's nothing he's ever done. Once somebody suggested to him would you ask Comey would make him take it all up with loyalty meme? Good idea! And that's what Trump said. Trump said yeah that'd be a great idea I think he was just kidding

CHAPTER 19 / 45 Discussion

Media Activism, David Gregory and Journalism Matters

David Gregory defends the current state of journalism against accusations of activism, asserting that "journalism matters" more than ever. The discussion contrasts the media's current desire for the President to fail with the 2008 era, when critics of Barack Obama were pressured to hope for his success. The shift is attributed to a change in political alignment within major newsrooms.

david gregory· fox news· journalism· barack obama· rush limbaugh

1:07:21 his way of kidding. Well, regardless he didn't do that in the this was twisting what were the facts? No this is all twisting the facts and it's actually so It's in such a massive scale, it brings us back to my belief which is the one that suggests that the CIA has a lot of people planted in the media and they're paying them. I think yes and that mental illness side they want to influence people but... Well hold on! I have clips for that I have clips, you want to finish your thought? Yes i am. David Gregory, Chip is how we call him often

1:08:11 The base numbers, every time they measure it strong. Well they are strong for now but they've been getting weaker I'm certainly not going to predict the president's political future we've all been wrong about that But i also think we have to take things one step at a time You know within the media itself you got Fox News out there savaging everybody talking about this is activism over journalism Stop Stop yourselves. Okay, let's just keep our eye- Journalism matters! We have been reminded of that in the past few days. Journalism matters?! There has been great journalism that has come out... We need signs!! Like black lives matter, journalism matters. Keep our eye- Journalism matters we have been reminded of that in the past few days there's been great journalism has come out under the Trump administration everybody's got to do their job journalists do their job see where that takes you Congress has gotta do its job You've go a president who is both ill informed he does not have experience and who thinks he can bully his way through our democratic system So I read that as do your job you're not doing your job right? You're doing it wrong

1:09:15 And here's, well I have two more. I just want to throw in and mention something. Yeah sure Do you remember in 2008 when Obama who had no experience got into office and there was a big brouhaha early on about oh do you want him to fail? You're trying to make him fail are you going to make it fail No we don't want Rush Limbaugh all these guys were in on this because they're always slightly critical and then they all had to back off saying, no we don't want the president to fail. We do not want Obama to fail. These guys what happened to that kind of thinking? Now they want him to fail! The reason why is racism They had to say that because otherwise they would not just be shitty Republicans They would be racists That's why none of it was said

CHAPTER 20 / 45 Discussion

Julia Ioffe Profile, Tradecraft and Media Assets

Journalist Julia Ioffe is identified as a rising media figure with a background in Soviet history and a Fulbright scholarship. Chris Matthews expresses his faith in the "tradecraft" of major newspapers and the civil service, specifically praising Sally Yates. The term "tradecraft" is noted as a specific intelligence term frequently used by those with agency ties.

julia ioffe· msnbc· tradecraft· sally yates· chris matthews

1:10:10 MSNBC Julia Ioffe, young girl new. Have not seen her around the block CIA asset What's even more scary is that half the country? I think is watching a different channel tonight and they're getting this from a totally different perspective And you have certain Republican senators saying well it's unclassified the second It leaves the president's mouth he has the ability ability, the legal ability and the legal right to declassify anything he deems worth declassifying. So I think a lot of people are going to be getting that spin on the story and- Uh huh! Your spin Mr. DeVorei This is going to look increasingly- No it's not a spin It's a stack Wait wait

1:10:55 It gets better with this girl. Worth declassifying, so I think a lot of people are going to be getting that spin on the story and this is going to look increasingly like last week's kerfuffle over the photographers as you know the media being out to get Trump and he's just trying to shake things up and what's wrong with making a deal with the Russians who are also fighting the same guys that we are in Syria which is of course not at all true Not at all true. No the Russians are fighting somebody else it's not at all true So what she's saying yeah? I mean, I wanted to go a little deeper than just this guy is CIA. I mean that's easy She's slick mm-hmm and she pretty good looking now This is an obvious Give me her name. What's your name? Her name is you said it a minute ago

1:11:51 Damn it. I'll look for a look at up, okay The war room will find that for me they heard what I said yeah Chris Matthews now he's got to be on the payroll because there's no other reason he should be in the business whatsoever Mushmouth And and he pretty much says I only trust CIA well, it's all over let me ask you Eli You know the government here. You know I have confidence in two forces straight front page media I think it's better than its ever been in years that I think the tradecraft of the top Metropolitan Papers is unbelievable right now We have a program for The Times and Journal especially In some case The Wall Street Journal as well sometimes

1:12:29 And I also have faith in the civil service. I think people like Sally Yates save us every day of the week, and those people do their jobs. Some of them may be Democrats or liberals even, progressives but they do their job and uphold their service. I think Trump can't stand either one of those two groups because they confound him and limit his power and he hates that. So what he's saying is CIA is across party lines everywhere It's Julia IOF, I O F F E. IOFF. IOFF? Wow! What a weird name. Julie? I think I got that right. Now while you're looking that up... By the way tradecraft which of course you don't hear that used. No, that's spy stuff. Spy craft is the word. Hillary would always say tradecraft. For the newspapers? Uh for spying

CHAPTER 21 / 45 Discussion

Doug Weed Interview, Clinton-China Campaign Finance

Historian Doug Weed reminds viewers of the 1990s campaign finance scandal involving Chinese donations to the Clinton administration, which resulted in 66 criminal counts. The discussion then shifts to acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, noting his wife's receipt of $700,000 from Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe. Critics argue that replacing Comey with McCabe does not inherently benefit the President's legal standing.

doug weed· bill clinton· china· campaign finance· andrew mccabe· fbi

1:13:18 Oh, yeah for spying she would talk about tradecraft the whole state is a spying term. Yeah Let me see if I have if I have a clip but I've heard spike raft and trade craft well How about this? Here's Newland new one will do other than to say It was pretty impressive Tradecraft the audio was extremely there you go tradecraft tradecraft is spying So the White House sent out their shills, and- hey wait! They got historians talking stuff. Send our guy! Doug Weed. Got my attention just looking at his name. I want to listen to that guy. And he does something... this is the talking points from the White House which is a big mistake

1:14:03 Big mistake. This does not work when you go and say, well Obama did that, Obama did that, Obama Clinton did that... It doesn't work! But he did it anyway and this was one I'd forgotten yes whining Yes we've had worse than this with the Chinese under the Clintons where millions of dollars were donated to the Clintons in Chinese officials in The Oval Office And the money had to be refunded your viewers can Google it and read all about it Oh, remember that? Yeah. Google it. Do you remember that? Yeah, vaguely. They had to give that money back it was oh and the same thing happened with Obama but they didn't catch him was all credit cards You don't think that this is an interference of a different kind especially when when it has to do deal with cyber and about propaganda through means there which you didn't have to do like television like you can spread it

1:14:57 faster and quicker, um...and in a larger extent than at any point in history Doug Weed? Well technology has changed maybe so but the money that came into the Clintons that had to be refunded. That came both to the DNC and came to the president's legal trust fund. That had to be refunded there were 66 criminal counts brought against the people who made the donations That was a serious crisis and some of the donors were from the People's Republic of China. They scattered when the FBI tried to prosecute them. Wow, if I were Don Lemon I'd be like wow that's kind of the same thing only with actual traceable money wow! Let's get this back on track. I want to bring Tony Merkin back into this. Tony, I don't know if you want to respond to any of that but

1:15:44 I don't know if you listen to this, it's very funny. Yeah let's get back on track. Back on track. I want to bring Tony Blinken back into this. Tony, I do not know if you want to respond to any of that but in my questioning you can respond however you want but please... I don't know if you want but you can do whatever you want but that doesn't sound like a good idea to respond to that Tony! I don't think you should do that because control room says they'll cut you off in the heartbeat And we didn't stop there. Andrew McCabe is a Democrat who investigated Hillary Clinton, found her innocent and whose wife Jill McCabe received $700,000 when she ran for office in Virginia from the Clinton machine. 500,000 of it from Terry McAuliffe No one talks about that He's the acting director of the FBI

1:16:42 What does that have to do with this investigation? It has to do with the fact that all day long people have been saying he fired Comey, therefore he was trying to obstruct justice by keeping the investigation into the Russian collusion. Well it didn't stop the investigation at all. With all due respect I still don't understand what one has to do with the other. I love that. What does it have to do with anything? All due respect, I don't have a clue what you're saying! Well you just mentioned your guest just before mentioned the firing of Coma, of Comey as part of the obstruction of justice because...just because you get rid of Comey you don't get rid of the FBI That is not a very good sign. I've got-I just caught that he said coma and truth always wants to come out yeah i just got a report eight days ago

CHAPTER 22 / 45 Discussion

Roger Ailes Coma Report, Media Panel Chaos

A report indicates Roger Ailes was in an induced coma following a fall at his Florida home prior to his death. Meanwhile, media panels continue to debate whether the President has the right to choose a new FBI director. The discussion highlights the "disjointed" nature of televised debates where participants often inadvertently prove their opponents' points.

roger ailes· andrew mccabe· don lemon· james woolsey· fbi

1:17:31 Roger Ailes was pushed, fell at his Florida home and hit his head. And they put him into an induced coma just... Just a little aside there, the word coma is in the air. clear line here. Because because the president does not improve his chances in the investigation by exchanging Comey for Andrew McCabe there's no improvement for Donald Trump. Andrew McCabe is the acting director correct? That's correct yeah okay so he has to appoint another, he's gonna point a permanent director maybe but they're considering McCabe too Does anyone on this panel want to respond to that look

1:18:35 I've served with Andrew McCabe. He is a consummate professional, so you know it's always fun to try to tear down people in order to distract from what's really going on but you're barking up the wrong tree if you're trying to tear down Andrew McCabe. He's not! I'm not trying to tear him down! Where was that? The fact he's a Democrat... So it's not improving the president's odds by getting rid of Comey No what he is as a professional and that may not be improving the president's odds either I guess you're just making the guy's point for him. How can you watch this, this dreck? Well it's my job! It's unbelievable how bad that was...I mean i could go full-time day trading

1:19:23 15 more seconds. How does this guy even hold down? CNN is so rot! And the Woolsey, I didn't clip him but Woolsey was on this program with Lemon that's how crazy it is No what he is a professional and that may not be improving the president's odds either Well, I guess the point that maybe you're trying to make is a little disjointed. But look, the FBI isn't about one person and they're going to continue with this investigation. The question is, does Donald Trump have the position to choose a new FBI director? Yeah, this is what happens if these guys are gonna go home and they're gonna vomit because their brains are scrambled Wait a minute! I just made that guy's point for him Oh no

1:20:05 And nobody noticed. That's what the weird part is Well, I think people notice but then you get a well if you want to respond to that if You do? I mean you got it did make up your own mind how you want to respond But I wouldn't recommend you would have responded at you know that not good F you guys somebody up there should just go yeah Well with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C The C stands for Comey and DeBeer Dvorak In the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, also in the morning to you Mr. J. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah And all the dames and knights out there for sure Yes! In the morning to The War Room doing their job We got everybody participating Thank You It's very handy today NoAgendaStream.com and in the morning too All of our artists who contribute at noagendaartgenerator.com but specifically TheTrixRabbitOfThorium Who brought us the artwork for episode 9 or 2-9er Sologamy

CHAPTER 23 / 45 Discussion

Newsletter Feedback, Stevie Wonder Atari Ad

The hosts discuss feedback from their recent newsletter, including a controversial image of Stevie Wonder purportedly promoting an Atari video game. Snopes later debunked the ad as a fake, though the hosts found the concept humorous regardless of its authenticity. A listener from Westfield, Indiana, is granted the title of Baron of Hamilton County following a significant donation.

I never saw it when I saw it and said oh my god this goes right in the news like perfect advertisement. Oh my goodness and you think that was a...that wasn't a photoshop or uh? It was too well you know there's always possible Anything's possible, but as I looked at it didn't have the right earmarks to be photoshopped. There are things you look for that make this look like an ad some dumb ad It had the right picture of Stevie Stevie at the time of Atari's emergence and he had control...I mean no! I would doubt whoever photoshoped that if they did

1:22:54 I would just, I would want to become their protege. No, I don't think so. Hey why don't you call Theo Teddy K? Teddy K... What's the k? Kozinski. Also a Theo- Professor Theodore!

We've got two associate executive producers, three associate executive producers and two executive producer starting with Sir Anthony Seven. I'm sorry to interrupt Snopes says it's fake Oh you've been snoped? It's well Snopes could be right it meaning the possibility does exist because it's so stupid

1:23:48 I loved it though. But there's no doubt in my mind that somebody could have done that ad Yeah, apparently he was holding an audio device not... Oh okay well i have to look at it more carefully You know what? It made me laugh and doesn't matter That's the way I see it It doesn't matter if I laughed then it was good That's why I always ask Tina one question she says oh I heard the show so did you laugh And she said yeah! And I would say about what? And she always says uh can't remember I can't remember. Sir Anthony Seven, Westfield Indiana came in with $785 and 65 cents he actually sent us a note last week hoping the check would come in it was one of those bank checks that comes into the system pay electronic or whatever it is and he did send an email which I looked up really quickly you know read good sir has been too long since my last tribute

1:24:44 I beg forgiveness for this douchebaggery. I've been contempting the completion of my barony for some time, then I received... By the way the ad with the doctor and the Chesterfields or whatever so Lucky Strikes was just as funny as the fake ad." Yeah and I remember those My mom smoked when I was a kid. What I liked about that ad is it had an actual number, which reminded me of the global warming thing where they're actually using numbers to have the number of doctors. Yeah, excellent. I've been contemplating the completion of my barony for some time. Then, I received a May 6th newsletter wonderful news John C., best wishes to you and your family in response. I immediately logged on my bank's webpage and sent the remainder. I hope you will consider this small token of support and an oath of fealty

1:25:34 and further hope that you will grant me Hamilton County, Indiana as my barony north side of Indianapolis, Indiana. I humbly request to take Indianapolis while you're at it. Humbly requests the title is Anthony Seven Baron of Hamilton." Okay. The tradition is to request clips and I obliged by asking for a montage of the Reverend Manning whatever Adam chooses in other words what you can find the easiest. You get some karma Okay, and some Karma. All right I'm just grabbing a few because there's so many of them maybe I should grab a little older one there And I'll grab that one he wants to montage and he did come in with A an executive producership So we should probably rack it up with see this is when I don't have the when I don't have anything in front Of me I can't work ahead

CHAPTER 24 / 45 Discussion

Donations from several producers are acknowledged, including BJ Slack and Ewan Robertson, who is knighted as Sir Ewan of the Ramen Noodles. A clip regarding "pharmacological corn" in Texas, allegedly grown with HIV proteins, is played at a listener's request.

CHAPTER 25 / 45 Discussion

Technical Issues, Host Conflict and Social Media

The hosts address recent technical glitches during their pre-stream and the resulting friction between them. A listener's demand for an apology regarding one host's "mean" behavior is rejected, leading to the listener being blocked on social media. The hosts emphasize that their ten-year working relationship naturally involves moments of being "fed up" and "unhinged."

technical difficulties· twitter· no agenda social· blocking· host banter

1:31:24 Like, hey can you do the little girl yay for us? Sure. Yay! She's not gonna have a diesel... I love your agenda show! What? Don't you have a little setting on that little machine of yours that changes voices to a woman's voice? Yeah i'd have to mess with it Okay do it some other time yeah tired are you wasting her by the way Do I owe you an apology Oh, no! That was very odd. So you know we had some technical issues on the pre-stream on Thursday...on Sunday whenever it was last month advertising

1:32:01 And, uh... you know it's always frustrating for both of us. But we got it fixed as best we could and- At 930? Yeah and then yeah took a while. We still didn't really get it fixed although it seems to be fixed today. Uh... we'll talk about that in a minute. Um.. so the beginning was a little rough and I got huffy I was still triggered by the technical stuff. Then we move on like we always do! People are like, WOAH THIS RUINED THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE FOR ME!!! Like really? They were criticizing me for being mean to you. Yeah, I- You can see it that way. I had one Baron on Twitter going on and on about this like you should apologize! I said...I said i'll tell you what if he asks for an apology I'll give him when I don't know what for And I said meanwhile you're blocked and I told him again that you could be unblocked If you if this turned around no This was bullcrap. I like that. Meanwhile you are blocked I tell ya

1:32:58 I block you, I block you again! I keep blocking you. So this guy had already asked that on noagendasocial.com and i said no. And he said it's bullcrap. What was he hearing? You know what your hearing is real people who have been together for 10 years are quite honestly pretty tired of each other. Fed up. Unhinged and fed up We're fed up. Yeah, so and it's normal that's what you want I don't understand who it wasn't exactly the way it was supposed to be. It was ahhh! I hate that is a baron because you don't get to Barones without being triggered with the show. I know but unless you heard too much about it. Unless your the dream Baron where you hear two shows say here's three grand this just doesn't happen

CHAPTER 26 / 45 Discussion

Destroyer of Cones, Value for Value Credits

Sir Shyster, Destroyer of Cones, is credited as an associate executive producer for his contribution. The title "Destroyer of Cones" is interpreted literally as someone who enjoys knocking over traffic cones with their vehicle. The segment concludes the primary donation acknowledgments, reinforcing the "Value for Value" model that sustains the production.

shyster· cherryville· value for value· baronette· donation

1:33:50 I do like the weird that we have no problem pushing back on a high-level donor when we just feel it's righteous. It means crazy No, it doesn't be we get pissed at each other all the time and sometimes sometimes should apologize to us Yes Sometimes right after the show it doesn't happen on sometimes you go unblock him after unblock him after I receive an apology Okay Although I won't be able to receive it on Twitter obviously I search Scheister, Destroyer of Cones is our last associate executive producer from Cherryville Connecticut. $209 and 30 cents I am donating two or nine dollars and thirty cents to become an associate executive producers for show 930. I would like to take a minute to credit John for his excellent deconstruction of my style destroyer of cones from my knighting ceremony last year not quite 100% but definitely in the ballpark

1:34:43 I don't know what he's referring to. To me, a destroyer of cones is guys who drives down the street and he sees a bunch of cones that tell you not go into that lane and he carefully knocks them over one after another! Yes... I have done that myself Yeah You can clip them with your car it's fun Yeah, you clip em' and boom over they go And if you do it right its like a 1-10 split If you do it right you can do buh buh buh buh buh buh buh Yeah you get em all We need videos of that people Yeah, I'd like to take this opportunity. It's probably illegal. I'd like that everything is i'd like to take this opportunity To formally call out Jenna

Well when its in the donation you have to read it Yes he does I'm glad he didn't because it's harder to read it when it's in red like that You can have him change the colors Alright, whatever. She's been a... let me just go back Back up. All right.

CHAPTER 27 / 45 Discussion

Richard Engel Tweet, Laptop Bomb Intelligence

MSNBC's Richard Engel reported that the intelligence shared by President Trump with Russian officials concerned terrorists designing laptop bombs. While some reports link this intelligence to Israel's Unit 8200, the discussion explores the possibility that the information was a specific message regarding remote detonation capabilities. The narrative touches on historical theories involving Israeli signals intelligence and the 9/11 attacks.

richard engel· lavrov· israel· unit 8200· laptops· 9/11

1:37:30 Shut up, Spade! Yeah, from Rod Wheeler. This is the guy who discovered this. It's a former police detective You're talking about Seth Rich Oh I'm sorry what are you...I misunderstood I'm still on to the other stuff but I want to get out of the way But this one here, RT, I got a whole clip with a whole intro and I said, you know, I can just...you know because RT is going on about ridiculing everybody

1:38:16 as being douchebags or reporting things the way they are. But this little clip, this one here is the RT Russia and the laptop story fine-tuned kicker is actually the nut and I think it's got a little item in here that is very interesting. The New York Times and NBC both have been running the story that it's actually Israel which provided intelligence to Donald Trump which he allegedly and reportedly told to Foreign Minister Lavrov at their meeting last week but ironically one of the top reporters of MSNBC Richard Engel tweeted out that in fact One of the US intelligence officials had told us that the only thing that Trump said to Lavrov was The information about laptops which the terrorists have designed and they could carry it on board and explode the aircraft out-of-bounds

1:39:01 out of the air. So that's, you know it creates a lot of confusion as to what the truth is behind all this story. Alright alright did I just hear Richard Engel Pulitzer Prize winning journalist is an advisor to Hillary Clinton? No he didn't no I don't think so What did he say? Play it again now let's just bring that in That's what I heard The New York Times and NBC both have been running the story that its actually Israel which provided intelligence to Donald Trump which he allegedly and reportedly told to Foreign Minister Lavrov at their meeting last week, but ironically one of the top reporters of MSNBC Richard Engel tweeted out that I'm sorry. I've Totally misheard that I'm glad we checked it in fact One of the US intelligence officials had told him that the only thing that Trump said to Lavrov was The information about laptops which the terrorists have designed and they could carry it on board and explode the aircraft out-of-bounds

1:39:57 out of the air. So that's, you know it creates a lot of confusion as to what the truth is behind all this story. I love...I'm glad you got this. You break it down and then I've got something for ya on this one. There are couple things in here. One Israel was mentioned by Trump. There's the only people that reported that everybody else said Trump didn't know it came from Israel and then New York Times is the one who blew that into the public domain and Trump is an idiot because he should have known something about about the source, Trump's an idiot doesn't know what to source And so there's all of that and then Engle who we've always categorized as a CIA asset

1:40:35 Yeah, he's a huge asset. Which is why he's mentioned by name as the top journalist I'm sure that's what RT is trying to communicate here I maybe that's just a good point. I didn't catch that, but that's a possibility. But angle is now in the mix but he is on the pullback side because as we said earlier in this show maybe they're overdoing it and they need to put you know the CIA were assuming are behind this slamming of the president endless slamming of the president butt-slamming of the president. Maybe this is a moment where, hey, we've got to pull it back because the public is not... They're getting very upset by this. Now we have that idiot from American University who says you gotta quit tomorrow! Hurry up! Well there's something else going on here. The key point which really is not being discussed at all laptops

1:41:40 And if you really listen to that report, they could blow up airplanes. And I think what they're insinuating here is remotely. So this all goes back to 9-11 And this of course is from, and I'd said of course but it is of course from conspiracy circles. What does Israel have to do with that? Now there's plenty of people who believe that Israel was behind the 9-11 attacks and they pin that on Unit 8200. And unit 8200 is the Israeli intelligence core unit for their signals intelligence. They have been working on stuff like this

1:42:21 Plenty of reporting. It doesn't mean it's true, but there's plenty of reporting about that and The message that Trump may have been giving you may have been a little different Let me just hear that report again what was it called the laptop story. In fact, one of the US intelligence officials had told him that the only thing that Trump said to Lavrov was the information about laptops which the terrorists have designed and they could carry it on board and explode the aircraft out of the air. So that's you know... Okay I not as maybe I'm just hearing that because that's what I've been looking at. But we had that we had that the Russian airline is blown out of the sky in Egypt

CHAPTER 28 / 45 Discussion

ISIS Bomb-Making, New Airport Scanners

U.S. officials claim ISIS developed explosives concealed in laptops at Mosul University, capable of evading current airport scanners. This development is expected to drive a global mandate for new scanning technology, benefiting companies like L3 Technologies and firms associated with Michael Chertoff. The "laptop ban" on flights is framed as a precursor to a massive industry-wide equipment upgrade.

isis· mosul university· airport security· l3 technologies· michael chertoff

1:43:25 Yeah. So there's a lot of talk about that unit 8200 keep it on the radar you never know I'll put something down but here's the clip this is on from CBS and this is about they, this is all I don't know what they're trying to do here. I think somebody's going to get killed, but this is the ISIS bomb-making story that was played on CBS. Well the classified intelligence that the president divulged to the Russian diplomats involved ISIS plans to bring down jetliners by hiding bombs in laptop computers Charlie Dageda is learning more

1:44:01 Amid the bombed out ruins of Mosul University, U.S officials say they've uncovered evidence that ISIS was developing a new type of bomb that could pass through an airport scanner undetected. We joined Iraqi special forces here just days after the hard-fought battle to recapture the university in January. It's long been believed that Mosul University was the center of the militants' bomb-making projects, using the school's equipment and labs. U.S. officials now believe that research includes a new generation of more powerful explosives that could be concealed in a computer.

1:44:38 When ISIS overran Mosul in 2014, they also captured the city's international airport and with it all the modern security scanner and screening equipment necessary to test their new bombs. On our trip there were certain no-go areas. Iraqi forces kept us well away from entering the most sensitive buildings warning that ISIS had booby trapped them Wow, John. You know what that means? Bananta time! New scanners needed because they have the- they foiled us They got the schematics they got the blueprints We need new scanners and we need to just everyone get naked

1:45:22 Yeah, two birds with one stone. We've always wanted that What else could it be you've got we need new scanning technology? This is this is interesting as it folds into the laptop ban on flights from Europe Mm-hmm we can sell this crap all over the world if you want to fly to United States of America With the right you gotta have the right equipments and I'm pretty sure will have the right equipment for our area Oh yeah, well always have the right equipment And it's not gonna be cheap. I'm sorry, Matt Riel? Not going to be cheap so who is the company that is going to supply this? It's going to be L3 which is Chertoff and Associates and they buy from L3 I believe We have to find out get to the bottom of who's gonna make these new scanners because that means all the airports in the country around the world are going to have to buy these scanners cause the old scanners had been compromised

1:46:16 Which sounds like something they could have done anyway. You know, in a number of ways just rob an airport and steal the scanner And it's the big scanner This is this will have to be the baggage scanner because it's going to be on the laptop and the laptop is gonna go through The scanner you're gonna have to be able to spot that's going through And I don't know what kind of... So it's a new piece of gear. Yes, it has to be a new piece of gear and probably two pieces because there is that little rubbing thing they always rub with the little pad and they stick into that. Yeah yeah yeah. Beep beep beep beep! That's like the sniffer. That's got to go too. I'm sure these two pieces of equipment are going to cost a lot of money. I've always felt those look pretty outdated with those little white pads and let me just swab you

CHAPTER 29 / 45 Discussion

Washington Post Columnists, CIA Media Stipends

John Podesta has joined the Washington Post as a contributing columnist, further blurring the lines between political operatives and journalism. An anecdote describes how the CIA recruits college graduates to work in mainstream media while receiving an agency stipend to influence story direction. This practice, historically known as Operation Mockingbird, is cited as the reason many high-profile journalists have agency backgrounds.

john podesta· washington post· operation mockingbird· anderson cooper· gina smith

1:47:02 Yeah, it seems like I talked to one of the operators of that thing about it. You mean officer? He was an operator and so he said well you know there's different pieces the problem is you know somebody with pesticides sometimes pesticides will set them off yeah different things you get on your fingers in the midst of all this Just to review the historical context of The Washington Post, which is where Woodward and Bernstein came from. The Washington Post is the one who you know Is the outfit that is breaking these stories although with an assist from New York Times who obviously couldn't stay behind I did not know That in February of this year Do you know who joined? The Washington Post? Who John Podesta

1:47:55 Oh What is a columnist columnists opinion section contributing columnist? I'd say that's pretty handy Yeah, yeah. Well they have some people that are on the staff and they're all covering Trump that are not only CIA assets but one of them in particular I don't have his name in front of me but he does a lot of the writing He's a bald guy very evil looking person or sinister I'd say not evil it's sinister And he was the guy who broke a bunch of CIA related stories in Afghanistan to the point where Karzai kicked him out of the country called him a spy

1:48:33 And then mysteriously he was readmitted for some reason. He had to go back in, but he's writing these pieces on Trump now and it's like yeah it's a little sketchy I don't think everybody there is the spy? I don't think it's possible but there's enough of them It truly is rife Just right. I will remind people, you know all of these guys are nuts. I'll remind people a friend of mine Gina Smith who's the age of these writers she was approached by the CIS she graduated from college and this is how it works as a job but it wasn't like a regular job

1:49:14 You're going to be on our payroll, we're gonna give you a stipend and you'll go get a regular job at AP or wherever you're gonna work. And then once in awhile, we're gonna call you because we're gonna need a little help on pushing the story in one direction that would benefit the country." Yeah. She refused to take the job but I think there's tons of it- So she says...I would say this same thing. In the meantime, be like, hell yeah! Bring it bring me the money money my Benjamin's I don't think that she would be telling this story in the first place if you don't know how counterintel works Well, that's true. But It's called operation mockingbird That was the original code name for it the other thing say that that operation mockingbird was killed no We don't do that anymore yeah okay Anderson Pooper admitted he worked at the CIA It's not a secret

1:50:09 No. There's too many of them! My Uncle Don is 93, 94... You can't tell me that just because he's retired that he's not an agency guy? He so much an agency guy that he switched from Republican to Democrat to vote for Obama because Obama read the script! Yeah and Hillary was a Hillary supporter too No, he was not. Oh in this last race? Yeah totally. We do have a new voice on the scene from Houston Texas

CHAPTER 30 / 45 Discussion

Al Green Impeachment Speech, Smartphone Taping Theory

Representative Al Green officially called for the impeachment of the President on the House floor, citing obstruction of justice. Representative Elijah Cummings discussed the possibility of subpoenaing the President's smartphone if it was used to record conversations with James Comey. The discussion critiques the pronunciation habits of politicians while analyzing the "fight for the soul of democracy" narrative.

al green· elijah cummings· impeachment· obstruction of justice· smartphone

1:50:50 the Representative Al Green. I always get excited when I hear that. I love Al Green! Al Green's gonna be on the show tonight, oh yeah perfect it's not the... Yeah you got the impeachment clip Mr Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart. Go ahead. I rise today with a sense of responsibility and duty to the people who have elected me A sense of duty to this country a sense of duty to the Constitution of the United States of America. I rise today, Mr Speaker, for the impeachment of the President of the United States of America. For obstruction of justice. I do not do this for political purposes, Mr Speaker

1:51:44 So it seems like the black caucus is out. We have Maxine Waters, we have Al Gore and we can't... No, Al Green. Al Green. Not Al Gore. The Blackest Man on the Planet, Al Gore is! Al Green and on the Joy Reid show, uh... Mr. Cummings! Yay yay! This is what he said when we asked him if it was likely in his view that the Oval Office still has a taping system operative take a look. Ah, taping system? I mean what happened at that dinner in January? This is the clip I was looking for earlier about the taping system now they're talking about a taping system okay and if you watch the movie Dick which you should

1:52:23 And there's plenty of dick jokes in the movie. They show the taping system and also how the 19 point 4 minutes got erased. What happened at that dinner in January, Trump now says he taped or hinted he taped I don't believe that but if you did it was something he'd done on his smartphone. Oh! Smartphone! I think Comey would like that tape out Congressman Cummings, if Donald Trump taped a conversation with the former FBI director using his smartphone in theory could the Congress could be House Judiciary Committee or the Senate Intelligence Committee or either of the intelligence committees subpoenaed the president's phone? Yes it becomes part of the presidential records and so yeah we're gonna enjoy it. We're going to do everything in our power

1:53:08 If there is a tape, if there is a tape to get that tape. This whole situation with regard to this conversation it's very significant with regard to the investigation with regard to Russia to collusion and things of that nature so we need to know and we need to know who's telling the truth and who's lying I cannot stand people pronouncing TH as F I've just got to call people out about that Truth! It's truTH! TruTh It really irritates me. In Britain, they do it all the time. Keef. Keef. Pronounce the T-H! It's very significant with regard to the investigation with regard to Russia, to collusion and things of that nature so we need to know and we need to know who is telling the truth and who is lying but I think there are two things happening One many of them are afraid that Trump will

1:54:02 run somebody from their right against them and they'll lose their seats. The others think that this thing will just blow over, but I've told them over and over again that this is a fight for the soul of our democracy. And so I said to Jason Chaffetz, I said, Chaffetz, the question is going to become when all of this is over what kind of country are we going to have? Well, well... That's a good question! It sure is Mr Cummings. That's the truth It's the truth right there, boy. I'm telling you! The truth! God, I despise that! Yeah you do...I think you've made that point Now just as an aside this Julia Ioffe- Hey i'm sorry it's Loffie not Ioffe my mistake

CHAPTER 31 / 45 Discussion

Julia Ioffe Career, Ivanka Trump Tweet Controversy

Journalist Julia Ioffe's career is scrutinized, including her birth in Moscow and her controversial firing from Politico over a tweet about Ivanka Trump. Despite the setback, Ioffe quickly secured a position at The Atlantic, suggesting she remains on a "fast track" supported by institutional interests. The hosts speculate on her future in media, potentially landing a role on "The View."

She's got the all I'm cute Look, she's got that break on the goofball Look, she's got everything you want and if she's sharp, she's on the fast track And I think you nailed it let me catch I never heard of her Yeah Let me see oh she had a full bright scholarship hello what that's a tell-tale

1:55:44 She's critical of Putin. Obviously, she says RT is a Kremlin mouthpiece. Oh yeah there you go bingo Let me let me see what I got a checklist for this woman. This is she's fantastic. Let's see else We have here She published the profile of Melania Trump for GQ magazine in 2016 and revealed that Trump had a half-brother No, I didn't know that let's see whatever where did she go to school? Did she uh Okay, she's the Jewish descent born and settled in Columbia Maryland. Hello! Attended Princeton University earned a degree undergraduate degree with yeah with a major in history specializing in Soviet history Columbia Journalism School the Knight Foundation Fulbright scholarship Senior editor for The New Republic

1:56:39 Oh yeah, she's dynamite. Let's look at her personal life... Hmm.. oh there is no section for personal life! She had a dispute with Lawrence O'Donnell in 2013 and appeared on MSNBC as the last word with O'Donnell and suggested that Putin had only limited control over the situation surrounding Edwin Snowden's asylum. See that doesn't work for O'Donnell because O'Donnell is Russian spy And then he says, O'Donnell responded we're getting absurd. Oh she's the one that got fired from Politico because she tweeted out in the wake of reports that Ivanka Trump would be moving into the White House. Ivanka? Oh historically occupied by the first lady Loaf tweeted quote either Trump is fucking his daughter or he's shirking nepotism laws which is worse. Dang! That's her? That would get you fired. That's her?!

1:57:34 I wouldn't even say that. And I say a lot, and I don't think I would say that. That's just creepy! It's totally creepy. Loft deleted the tweet and apologized. Yeah, The Atlantic responded to these you know what this is an example of somebody that's isolated from the social media as beginnings yeah not realizing you know I think a lot of people get on social media for the first time or they finally released to go out to do their own thing and they don't really have a lot of it's like journalists on a podcast they also talk their mouth off Yeah, they'd make mistakes. And so she goes on social media and thinks she's being hilarious I got a great idea! She probably had one too Probably had a couple And you know CIA lets you drink if i'm not mistaken So she has a couple of shots and she probably drinks scotch She looks like a Scotch girl So she's got a couple Scotches in her and says I've got a great idea for a really funny tweet Everyone will think this is hilarious And so she tweets this stupid thing out

1:58:35 Which is, it is funny from somebody's perspective especially if you're plastered and then boom all hell breaks loose. She gets that's you'd call that in her career because she was on a track. A setback! For her it was just a minor setback. Boom she's at the New Republic the next week Well she's back on track let's put it that way but they're gonna She learned her lesson. She's not going to do social media much. We got to keep our eye on her because if she messes it up, you know where they wind up these women? They wind up on The View.

CHAPTER 32 / 45 Discussion

Note-Taking Habits, Air Pollution Inspector Anecdote

A discussion on James Comey's meticulous note-taking prompts an anecdote about an air pollution inspector at a Chevron facility. The inspector used a rubber date stamp to finalize every conversation, a habit the host admires for its legal protective value. The segment emphasizes that in professional and legal environments, events are often considered not to have happened unless they were documented in writing.

james comey· note taking· chevron· air pollution· rubber stamp

1:59:11 Like Sonny Hauston. When I heard about it, I said there is a memo There were people questioning whether or not the memo existed And I started thinking about my time as a prosecutor first day day one during training They said if it happened and you didn't write it down It didn't happen Oh right and I thought if they're telling me that he was a former prosecutor and the head of the FBI He wrote it down! This is true. I think so. Uncle Don, every conversation I've had with him he was writing stuff down He says, I'm sorry, it's agency stuff

1:59:53 Yeah, and we're just talking about book on you. Well, hello in part two of sunny the Comey memo exists But if it is true what he says in it Which is that he asked the FBI director to stop a federal criminal investigation into Michael Flynn? No, he didn't do that but it's not funny otherwise It is true when he says in it which is that he asked the FBI director to stop a federal criminal investigation into Michael Flynn. That is pure and simple of federal crime, that is obstruction of justice. And that isn't impeachable! Do they ever mention that Comey's required by law to report it immediately? No. Oh gee I'm... It's funny how they keep leaving stuff out in this bullcrap conversation. I know but its so fun because it's truth

2:00:44 So when I was an air pollution inspector, there used to be a guy. I had Chevron oil as one of my responsibilities and so I'd go in all the time and then there's this one guy...I just loved the way he did this because he was a note taker too every time you came in he'd write down what you asked him what he said and he just had everything that at the very end we say I'm gonna shake his hand and get up to go before he got up he would reach over and he had this rubber date stamp time and he'd stamp, right in front of me stamped this document. And then he would because it was over, he stamped it at a timestamp and so then I left. I always got the biggest kick. You know what? I should develop that habit because there's so many times they've had a conversation or something with somebody can't even remember who they were. I think you've told this story before and we've talked about this is like, or just deja vu

CHAPTER 33 / 45 Discussion

Philip Mudd CNN Outburst, Banana Republic Comparison

Former CIA official Philip Mudd expressed intense disrespect for the presidency during a CNN appearance, comparing the U.S. to a "banana republic." Mudd's comments, which included calling the inauguration "stupid," are described as repugnant and indicative of a deep-seated agency hatred for the current administration. The segment argues that such outbursts are part of a coordinated effort to undermine the President's credibility.

philip mudd· cnn· banana republic· michael flynn· fbi

2:01:39 I've probably told this story before because it really stuck with me. Because i have always regretted the fact that I never developed some of these cool habits. Yeah, we did talk about this and I got yellow legal pads little mini ones. I have stacks of them And then we for the show I write it down and rip it off and I'm writing down stuff the whole time You know like shopping list get some milk Others while you're talking away To wrap up the CIA thing because you thought it was worth replaying. I want to bring back a The CNN panel that had Philip Mudd the ex-CIA guy on it about love this banana Republic. Yeah, I mean I know this is gonna sound facetious. I'm breathing a sigh of relief You can't take this seriously you could have taken this seriously from President Bush or President Obama from president bush's father From president Clinton you can't take this seriously It's so you feel like you got to give the present United States a pacifier in a rattle and put him in the crib

2:02:36 You're threatening the FBI, who's in the midst of an investigation of presidential aides. The FBI has been around since 1908. The President United States have been around for three and half months if you think you're going to intimidate the former FBI director in the dozens of people in the workforce who are conducting this investigation with the Department of Justice, you got another thing coming nobody believes that the president United States from the day he came in and misrepresented how many people showed up at this stupid inauguration to the claims he made at the beginning about where the president of united states his predecessor was born nobody believes this guy anymore which is why i look at that threatened tweet and can't take it seriously the man who had any credibility i have immense respect for you freeway we talk all time you can call inauguration stupid but not only here in iraq know the credit claims of who how many people showed up that was ridiculous first of all we look a little bit like eight

2:03:31 a 20th century banana republic at the moment to the world. This is outrageous. Outrageous! This is the second thing, this isn't- I was very upset with this clip and I didn't express how upset I was the first time you played it which was the incredible... It harkens back to do you want Obama to be a successful president? Yeah. This harkens back to that but this was them and this is a CIA guy I think his build as such yeah The amount of disrespect for the presidency with his baby, the pacifier, stupid inauguration and all the rest of it. And just a base hatred that coming out of this guy should be taken off the air he should be fired from the agency but no this is what they're pushing out there I think this was a repugnant presentation by this character Good word good use of the word

2:04:29 Because it was, it was repugnant. And just to pile on... This was on CNN I assume? Yeah and he's also the one on Bill Marshall He is being sent out To pile on top of it When I had a... It didn't happen for a number of reasons We were going to go to DC and there was this thing and Flynn was gonna be there A whole bunch of spooks And the request came, hey see if Uncle Don wants to come along. I sent him a note and he's like, I don't want anything to do with Michael Flynn or anybody around him. This is way before the firing. So it's all this Russia hate. It's Russia hate and control just control not reading the script not following the script because everyone knows that how you do it thats what your supposed to do as president You're not following the script and they are bent out of shape Let's just do a different topic for a moment

CHAPTER 34 / 45 Discussion

Fentanyl vs Fen-Phen, Synthetic Opioid Dangers

A correction is issued regarding the difference between the 1990s diet drug Fen-Phen and the synthetic opioid Fentanyl. A news report details an officer in East Liverpool, Ohio, who overdosed simply by brushing Fentanyl powder off his shirt, requiring four doses of Narcan. The drug's extreme potency leads to a discussion about its potential use as a weapon of mass destruction in public spaces.

fentanyl· fen-phen· narcan· opioids· chemical weapons

2:05:21 We have a small correction to make about fen-fen. Yes, you incorrectly stated that this was the combo drug that is now killing people everywhere. No I said it was fentanyl is what I said. Yeah but you said... I didn't say it's a combo drug. You said on the show everyone was talking about fen-fen and fen-fen that was a dietary drug. That was not fentanyl Yeah, we had a guy... where's the note? Do you have it? No. Doesn't matter. We don't need to dwell on it. Well there are details in there and I'm a detail guy. Well then get the note! You said it! I know but I am also looking for the damned uh... It's Phenfluramine and Phentermine... That is the combination. And Dexphenfluarmin

2:06:05 But that's not the synthetic stuff. That's not the... Synthetic opioids, yeah. Yeah well anyway There was that Anyway the this new stuff let's just call it the new fen-fen like New Coke, new Fen-Fen It's not FEN-Fen I'm calling it Fen-Fen now Well you are! I've changed it Even just breathing or getting it on your skin is a problem. And once they got blocked in, they started trying to dispose of the evidence in the vehicle. There's white powder on the seat, on the floor, on the guy shoes, on his clothing." Green followed station protocol for handling drugs by putting on gloves and a mask when he searched the car but when he got back to the station another officer noticed green had some of the white powder on his shirt. Just out of instinct he tried to brush it off not thinking police think that powder was fentanyl

2:07:08 Green overdosed at the station an hour later. I called an ambulance for him, and he responded to one dose of Narcan here then transporting to East Liverpool City Hospital where they gave him three additional doses of Narcan. The drug can get into the body just through contact with the skin Captain Wright says green is fine today but it's a scary example of how the drug epidemic has forced police officers to change how they do their jobs We've changed our procedures to where we don't, used to field test drugs...we don't do that no longer because of accidental exposures The laws for this type of drug need to be changed

2:07:45 If you really think about this, these drugs can be used as a weapon of mass destruction. All you have to do is walk into any room flip it in the air and people are gonna start dropping out." And that's really the reason I wanted to play this for that last little quote This really is a weapon of mass destruction just walk into a room throw it in the air Put it in your chemtrails man what a way to go though? I like the way you add that little tidbit Come on, put it in your chemtrails. Come on, man Chemtrails Here's the note. Fen-phen was pondamon and phentermin, phenitol which is the bad stuff that the guy died from is a synthetic opioid used to cut heroin

CHAPTER 35 / 45 Discussion

Kony 2012 Failure, Invisible Children Finances

The mission to capture warlord Joseph Kony has officially been declared a failure by the U.S. and Ugandan militaries. Financial records for the "Invisible Children" charity reveal that $50 million was spent on the campaign, largely on videos, travel, and meetings rather than military action. The segment recalls the viral success of the 2012 video and the subsequent public breakdown of its creator.

kony 2012· joseph kony· invisible children· charity· 990 forms

2:08:36 Totally different drugs. Trust me, I'm intimately familiar with how heroin is made cut and sold in California. Name withheld We have the best producers in the universe love you guys thank you for your courage Oh No clip but Kony 2012 we all remember It should be now Kony 2012. Yeah, that's why I thought it was interesting that it came out this week. Kony 2012 was really a video about going to get this warlord who is using children

2:09:15 as soldiers. And, you know the video went super viral it had millions of views within 10 seconds it was very suspicious really how fast that went I recall us questioning that. Very suspicious, I think the whole thing is an exercise in manipulating the Google numbers or the huge... Well there's a couple things and what happened after that is this attention was so huge like oh everyone's talking about Kony 2012, well then this guy tripped out on Fen-Fen Yeah, whatever it was. PCP or maybe it was crystal meth and he was running around naked pounding the sidewalk and run jumping over cars and pretending to hump the windshield It was great Well I think if we remember right it was that stuff that was going around for awhile That had some funny name you could buy it. It was bath salts Oh yeah, yes bath salts Well they announced in The New York Times when this came out on Monday

2:10:11 that the mission to capture or kill Kony has failed. They're giving up, they are going to stop trying to find Kony." And I just... For yucks! I went and looked at their 990. They've been around for a couple years. The expense of the Kony 2012 mission? $50 million dollars in the years up until this announcement This is the operation that was behind, it was the Kony 2012 operations? What's their name? Okay I'll tell you. Invisible Children So they got 50 million dollars and they... Yes if you recall the guy who freaked out he announced coming back to me He was a video producer

2:11:06 And he made that fantastic video with the millions of dollars that he had for the Kony 2012, The Invisible Children Foundation. and then the money just started pouring in But he was a video guy I remember this now But yeah, and how did that money, that $50 million dollars... How was that used? I mean our government supposedly had something to do with trying to track him down. So the UN or whoever but how did that 50 million dollars get used? We didn't hire a mercenary army. Producing videos, road trips meetings. Road trip! Road trip! Meetings. MEETINGS!

2:11:51 Assault! Yeah, you're right. He squandered it. Well good work another example of how the charitable Americans and bad operations kind of hook up together I mean there are plenty of great charities and great organizations and people to donate too would say maybe including us that are honest and there's plenty that aren't 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! On No Agenda morning! Golly... It's like it was planned. You didn't have to spike the football? Ah you got me! I did. Right, I spiked the football And I don't spike the football usually Good going

Global Listener Support, Maxine Waters Critique

Donations arrive from diverse locations including Dubai and Colorado Springs, with listeners expressing frustration with mainstream media "spin." A producer's anecdote about his wife's high regard for Maxine Waters leads to a critique of the Congresswoman's intelligence and public image. The hosts reiterate the "Value for Value" model as the only way to receive "no bullshit" news analysis.

CHAPTER 37 / 45 Discussion

Bill O'Reilly Premium Model, Fast Forwarding

The hosts discuss Bill O'Reilly's move to a paid "premium" podcast model, which they contrast with their own free, donation-based approach. They argue that premium walls often fail because content inevitably "washes back and forth" between paid and free segments. A humorous suggestion is made to make the donation segment the only "premium" content, while noting that listeners can simply fast-forward through it.

bill o'reilly· premium content· freemium· advertising· podcasting

2:17:03 And I didn't read it best newsletter ever douchebag call out to Jeff rice He's been listening forever never donates and the premier member on O'Reilly's podcast WTF Really that guy doesn't need money really that guy dad is bad Yeah, a premiere man. That means you have to pay some fee yeah, too You can't listen no he can't listen here. You got to stay woke for free oh Which is, I think a really... It's not a model I like. No! I don't like it either and they take it from your credit card you know? You can't stop it. It's nuts. The other thing is people brought up this idea that what you guys should do is have your regular podcast and have some premium content Oh yes, premium content Here are some of the good stuff Not the bull crap we're giving here but I despise that as well I'm surprised you don't do a premium model! Freemium

2:18:01 Yeah, freemium. That's actually the term, coinage for the free model. Yes. And if you think about it here is your real problem with it first of all the content washes back and forth so you don't really get anything premium in a long haul because it ends up...you have to reference that material eventually to make your points in the free side of the wall. Oh I have an idea! I just had a great idea. Okay? We take the donation segments and make that premium so people can pay to hear the donation segment now we're talking business model

2:18:37 But we'll make it really interesting. We'll talk about every... It is interesting, the donation segment is very interesting. Yes! It's very unlike you know if like for example we had the advertising model which we talked about in the newsletter and I would stop and we stopped to show and then go on and on. Glenn Beck does this with gold, gold line he makes a big deal about. Yeah! How insincere can you be? Anyway enough Bitcoin Dean Roker, double nickels on the dime. And now the rest of the people are $50 donors named... Might be Roker. Could be Roker. Roker yeah, Roker. Now these are a short list of $50 donor's name and location Andrew Haverson in Gravenhurst Ontario, Sheila DeMurd

Beautiful well thank you all very much And I just gave away the Moron of the Day award to Logan 5 in the war room for a number of reasons. He said, some people would actually pay not have to listen to the donation segment and I thought that's really odd you know when we invented this podcasting thing we came up with it's really weird idea fast forward look at up yeah Google it! So you have to be a moron not to fast-forward?

2:21:09 Google what it does. Google fast forward and see what you get And thank you very much producers who do care and do want to keep this show on the air 10 years and counting Very proud of that It's highly appreciated, everyone else who came in under the $50 amount which is for reasons of anonymity That's a primary reason but also lot of people on subscriptions Thank you again another show on Sunday Your help is always needed at Dvorak dot org slash N A Everybody can use some jobs, Karma.

Radiolab Critique, MKUltra and Ted Kaczynski

A segment from the podcast "Radiolab" is critiqued for its "herky-jerk" editing and its failure to explicitly link Harvard experiments to the MKUltra program. The story follows Professor Henry Murray's psychological torture of students, including a young Ted Kaczynski, codenamed "Lawful." The hosts argue that these traumatic experiments directly contributed to Kaczynski's later transition into the Unabomber.

radiolab· henry murray· harvard· mkultra· ted kaczynski· unabomber

2:23:47 You said this podcast is no the one I'm about to play an excerpt from. Oh, and well it's the podcast I really despise and it's been on... Is that the name of it? Wow! Yes, It's a great show And that's The Millennials love it. It's called Radiolab. And Radiolab is... Oh yes, the millennials do love it. Yes, this is true. Radio lab, clip topic, what you do that, I don't know, I asked him this. Radio lab. You nailed it! I think i did, 225. Okay the former New York banker sent me this he said oh man you'll love this yeah why? This is about a...I think was uh Did he say that sincerely or did he say with a note of irony It wasn't clear. I'm turning him He's really in and can't be because his milieu

2:24:50 The milieu he's in, he can't. But he buys into all of it! Okay. And he understands all the macro stuff. He did the sovereign wealth funds guy knows what's going on so he sends me this you'll love it this is about a professor, I think at Harvard and his name was Walker. And he developed this series of tests which he did for the US Army it was an army grant and they want to psychologically test pilots to see if they were fit to fly during the Cold War so the previous cold war with Russia

2:25:30 And it was really horrible. I mean, he would deprivation and tie him down, humiliation all kinds of crazy stuff. And then when the program ended, he continued to do that and he gave a course at the school. And this is where I pick up the story. Yeah why Murray did it? There are any one of a number... His name is Murray not Walker sorry. ...of explanations and they all could be true One is it was grant grabbing He was getting money to do these things Also you know this was the Cold War, he was fighting communism May thought it was justified Yeah but he just said he was proud of this Well it also happens to be the case that

2:26:08 he was having an affair. Whatever the case, in those Harvard experiments there was one student who was just not prepared for any of it. His code name was Lawful. They gave each of these students a codename because he was considered so conventional He was really still just a boy graduated high school at 16, was living 1,000 miles from home two shirts and two trousers to his name And Lawful apparently was an especially lonely kid The notes I found of Murray did refer specifically to Lawful's essay which she saw as highly alienated So when Lawful walked into that room

2:26:59 Sat across from that stranger... Then the guy opens up Laughol's essay. and lets him have it. Meanwhile, like all the students Lafle's been hooked up to all these stress monitors. You mean like his heart beat the fastest? Amazingly This experiment went on for three years. And decades later, a lot of the subjects were still upset and considered it one of the most traumatic experiences they'd had in their 20s. Laffle never forgot him That's right He was resentful at the way he was treated at Harvard. He had nightmares about Professor Murray after he left Harvard So what happened to this guy?

2:28:02 Well, he finished up his four years at Harvard got his degree then got a PhD in math Then you began to teach math and then He became a household name. Okay? You know the unraveling of the story by this point I think Ted Kaczynski me that's right well I mean this FBI raid began just afternoon in a remote mountainous area called Stemple Pass about five miles outside The town of Lincoln Montana. I don't need to play the rest of the clip no but This is so beautiful. This is the MKUltra program they're talking about and these morons at Radiolab can't even put this together! This was put in their oops program, there are some oopses They went to interview this guy about something completely different And then they say, well you know...this kid was tortured by this Warner guy or whoever it was Murray

2:28:58 That's my MKUltra programming, I'm not supposed to remember his name. I'm not supposed to remember his name! Apparently not... Uhh..I thought it was-it was a really interesting story It was-the edit is triggering me to this moment still, I cannot stand the way they present things Oh, that's the corny. They were over they got to think edited peculiarly so it was herky jerk Yeah Which I really dislike because I want to hear it do this there's there's information in the silence and the interstitials Yes In between here and there There's information but no they cut that out yeah And then they have the other guy bumping into them

Rod Wheeler Interview, Seth Rich Laptop Investigation

Former detective Rod Wheeler claims a source within the D.C. police department confirmed a link between murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich and WikiLeaks. Wheeler alleges that the investigation was stalled by the mayor's office and the DNC. The discussion questions why Julian Assange has not definitively confirmed Rich as the source, which would potentially dismantle the Russian collusion narrative.

rod wheeler· seth rich· wikileaks· dnc· laptop· julian assange

2:29:35 It's bad. But I just liked it, you know for once finally and the way the story goes is he became the recluse He want you know be became the unabomber for University and airline pilots that there's all kinds of gory details They dragged up but the conclusion is if it wasn't for Professor Warren Murray Murray If it wasn't from Murray, he probably wouldn't have gone to those extremes And he probably would have written a manifesto That I don't know that I don't know I just thought it was a nice little... Yeah, great. Thanks! Wow! Their government does nothing but good work Well then let's talk about Seth Rich Yes let's talk about Seth Rich This is the backgrounder this is the interview You have-I don't have any clips? I do 50 seconds of clip This is Fox 5 in DC and they interview Rod Wheeler He is a former PD detective

2:30:32 And he says he was hired by the family. He has some allegations, which immediately the next or not immediately actually to two days almost three days later were refuted supposedly by the family although no statements, no clips that I could find they may be out there areas. The police department nor the FBI has been forthcoming they haven't been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer solving his debt lies on that computer, which I believe is either at the police department or either at the FBI. that there is information for sure link Seth Rich to WikiLeaks? Absolutely. Yeah, and that's confirmed actually have a source inside the police department that had looked at me straight in the eye and said Rod we were told to stand down on this case and I can't share any information with you now That's highly unusual for murder investigation especially from a police department again. I don't think it comes from the chiefs office

2:31:32 But I do believe there is a correlation between the mayor's office and the DNC, and that's the information that's going to come out tomorrow. So it's a little unclear if he was hired by the family or third party but he's making some pretty big claims well And this is really easy to solve! But wait... There was- He showed up again and he's grilled a little better And I can't remember who was the griller, but it was on Fox. Uh-huh and it went like this according to him He was hired by the family for very little money and he couldn't afford to do it And then a third party who he cannot name came along and financed the investigation Ah okay that makes sense well, but listen this is all solved very easily

2:32:18 And I call publicly for this to happen. And I don't understand why this former detective isn't thinking, yeah it's all on the laptop! It has to be on the laptop! Email is two direction? So if Wikileaks has 40 thousand emails or something... Publish them! Publish them And I think any source from WikiLeaks, if I was a WikiLeaks source... ...I would- hell yeah! Would want them to let it know that I was killed over something that I did after I'm already dead. I find it peculiar, what i find peculiar is not that this happened but that Assange has this kind of mixed feelings about talking about it even though Assange had offered a reward for any information leading to conviction regarding this guy's death. I think $20,000 he started with. 25, 25. And Assange also paid for his funeral Yes But you know he could solve all of these with one fell swoop why isn't he doing it?

2:33:22 This would be the... his argument will be we want to protect our sources, but your source is dead. I know, I'm very uh.. I don't know what he's thinking So now that you know the guy seems credible the way he speaking He certainly believes-I think he believes what he saying this Rod Wheeler character It would just be it would be easy to prove Certainly with you know Cade What does that Google code? The G Kim whatever the it's like a hash so you can prove that the email is authentic forget what it's called I don't know what its cold. Yeah, KK Jim Jim Kim young yum I don't know I'm waiting for the war room to wake up and respond but other than I can make you not happen D Kim yeah There he lay K. I am DK. Thank you. Okay deacon

2:34:19 All right, well that's our report on him. The dead guy I don't have much else and it would be very simple And boy would that blow the lid off? Because then people will be running to say oh, there is Putin again He is writing emails he making this stuff up Russian WikiLeaks But at least we'd have something to laugh about Play this clip It says Russia and the laptop threat one liner Its a very short clip Im noticing and I dont remember what it was The US intelligence community has been focused on the laptop threat for over a year. Oh, yeah! If they've been focused on this thing for over a year why does it make such a big deal about it now? Yeah That was part of Jeff Pegues, the guy that sounds like he's gonna have some... That's the poop! The poop guy

Fourth Circuit Court Appeals, Travel Ban Arguments

Audio from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reveals a contentious debate over the President's executive order on immigration. Judges questioned whether the President's past "animus" toward Muslims during the campaign permanently disqualifies his national security actions. The legal argument centers on the "Mandel" prescription and whether an order legitimate on its face can be ruled unconstitutional based on antecedent statements.

fourth circuit· travel ban· muslim ban· mandel· constitutional law

2:35:09 Well, I have a couple of clips if you want to hear them. Yeah yeah lay some clips down They're lengthy but they're funny these are this is the actual you know met when when Trump put this little executive order about how you can't let people from these certain countries in because they're terrorists and so we're gonna put a 90-day ban on them. That went to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals where there was just, it became a comedy because... Yeah we had that douchebag, we played a clip from it! It was all televised wasn't it?

2:35:47 The fourth circuit guy? The fourth circuit judge. No, the Fourth Circuit guys were all... it was audio only. Oh okay maybe it was the ninth or I don't even know what I understand. Well let's play this and you can hear what the arguments are and you can see that Trump is in the clear but these guys just have to keep arguing from one perspective or another And the perspective they're using is that since Trump supposedly said he hates or didn't He said disparaging things about Muslims in his campaign therefore He hates Muslims and therefore, since this involves Muslims it has to be thrown out. My question is the President has an animus against a group Yes And then the group presents a clear national defense risk Everybody agrees with that May the president take action notwithstanding his or her animus

2:36:37 Or is that president disqualified operating on that risk because of the animus? No, your honor. The animus is not permanently disqualifying for any circumstance. What the question... So that the president then in that situation could take action if there is a national security risk Your honor I think the president could take action If it would appear to the reasonable objective observer That his purpose was not to forward his animus, uh to advance his animus but in fact was for a secular... His primary purpose? You mean his primary purpose. Yes your honor. Uh let me ask you if you could follow up on that then. If a different candidate had won the election and then issued this order I gather you wouldn't have any problem with that

2:37:30 Uh, well McCreary teaches us. A different candidate who did not make the same expressions as President Trump did? Yes your honor I think McCreary and other cases teach us that the same action could be constitutional in some circumstances and not in others but I want to emphasize... No a particular question is if some other candidate had won the election issued this executive order thats before I gather you would have no problem with that, is that right? Oh you're killing me Smalls. The suspense is just killing me! I can't wait what's he gonna say?! Uh... I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

2:38:14 The brain freeze. What's the McCreery judgment? This is actually explained in the next clip, at least a little bit of it that all you need to know but this guy was just an idiot and he was stumbling and fumbling, and they were just... I thought at some point as you hear in the next which is long. You know they play the whole thing. I thought they were at some point toying with him like a cat and mouse be honest Issued this executive order that's before us. I gather you would have no problem with that is that right?

2:38:51 I just want to clarify the hypothetical in one sense. Answer the question! Because are we saying that the candidate, or then president issued the order... This douche is stalling for time his brain's going what the hell do i answer? What the hell do i answer? So you mean... After consulting with agencies not over the objection that agencies had, that in fact it would not serve a national security purpose. Set that aside we have an order on its face we can read this order and we have no antecedent statements by candidate about this water We have a candidate who won the presidency some president some candidate other than President Trump won the presidency and then chose to issue this particular

2:39:40 order with whatever counsel he took, whether it's his personal advisor in the White House or with the Secretary of State, Homeland Security or National Security or whatever. He issued this executive order. Do I understand that just in that circumstance, the executive order should be honored? Uh, yes your honor I think in that case it could be constitutional. However your honor i think that its important to understand that this order even taking all of the purpose out of it even if it were for So you basically want to set aside the prescription of Mandel? Mandela effect

2:40:25 No, Mandel. What's this prescription of Mandel? He explains it which says An order such as this which on its face is legitimate becomes illegitimate Because of campaign statements that were made by the candidate for president not at all your honor I think we should well It seems to follow from from that are you agreeing that? But the order is legitimate on its face. No, your honor so why not? Let me start from the point of view. Just answer a question. Is it legitimate on its face or not in your opinion? I don't think so your honor because the order

2:41:07 is completely unprecedented in our nation's history. Even take, even with a secular purpose there is no- First order on anything is invalid? No your honor but you would expect that an order that took as drastic an action of this There has never been a multi country ban ordered by the president even in the months after 9 11 Yes there have This President issued uh um a restriction on non immigrant visas Alright I get it Is there anything else? Everything this guy does is a stumble and he contradicts it. He's a wreck! There's no way that this guy can win this case, why did they even put him up there? There was about 10 of these people by the way. Oh yeah, they're all lined up

MP3 Format Obsolescence, AAC and Licensing Fees

The Fraunhofer Institute has officially terminated its licensing program for the MP3 format, leading to media claims that "MP3 is dead." The hosts argue this is a strategic push by the tech industry to move users toward proprietary, fee-based formats like AAC. They predict that companies like Apple will eventually stop supporting MP3 files to force adoption of licensed alternatives, despite the continued viability of open-source encoders.

mp3· fraunhofer· aac· licensing· apple· open source

2:41:55 And they're just blasting him from what you said this a minute ago and now that so this is What's going on in the background and Trump's and on the good side of it? Just something completely different. Nobody's covering this by the way nobody we are We are I have a little gripe about a news story that came out. It's officially tech news, but we don't have to do the whole jingle thing Started with BBC That's where I got it first Newsbeat. It's time to say goodbye to the MT- to the mp3 which soon became Developers of killed MP 3 MP 3 is dead I really despise this hyperbole, which it is. MP3 cannot die, it's not a human being but okay But this is a very very evil tactic and-and I haven't seen who was behind it yet

2:42:43 But this is what Silicon Valley dreams of. Now, what happened is Fraunhofer and Schmickelheimer who owned the patent which you really didn't have to pay for although if you were making a device that had MP3 encoder in it This is why FFMPEG exists at all Is an open source way to create mp3's so we don't really have license to do this kind of stuff But it wasn't really being enforced. Now we're to- Oh! We've killed it off, It's about to expire done. It's no good. We're moving to AAC or other protected owned formats This is really really bad you will see I'm saying it hear me now believe me later MP3 will no longer be recognized probably Apple will be the first douchebags to do it

2:43:28 But this is a very hard push, and the reason I believe is there's still one piece of money to be made. And this came up when Napster came around Napster came around and the conversation was about, okay how do we get money for artists and composers and writers? Read record labels and publishing company douchebags who've stolen these rights from most of the artists. Okay. Stolen. Well they could you know fooled tricked here's a Cadillac son shut up They, at the time if you recall... The meme was well we need to do what we did with cassette tapes. Because when cassette tapes came out there was a fee levy that went straight to the music business same with blank CDs That may still be the case that a portion of that money goes to the recording industry To the rights organizations so ASCAP BMI

2:44:24 And that's what they're trying to do here. And I guarantee you, they are really just like Google tried to kill RSS. RSS is dead and they killed off Google Reader This is evil! This is evil! Anyone who saying oh this great because now finally get quality A-holes What's wrong with the quality? They will convince you it's crap Well their not convincing me of anything No All they're gonna do if they stop if they start to refuse to play mp3s, which would happen a few years from now Knowing the way they operate because it won't do it right away. No iPhone 8 who needs a headphone jack you don't need MP 3 either douche

2:45:11 Much better quality with our now, with our new Thunderbolt plug and AAC which was owned and is licensing fees. I recall there was talk in the beginning of wait a minute how did these MP3's these podcasters are making? Maybe we should get some money from them This really came up but everyone just like oh yes great MP3 it's dead it's dead its officially killed it's dead Bad whoever says that doesn't know what they're talking about okay, and it and they don't want to start losing customers to VLC or some of these alternative like you mean last line slack FLAC? DLC video land oh you mean the player yeah They don't want to lose everyone to that which is a no crazy open source project their play stuff. Oh

2:45:59 It plays everything. Stuff that you cannot play on media player. Even half a file, it goes I can play that! Yeah watch... Yeah i don't play anything and they also scale in all kinds of crazy ways you can do. And is the worst interface in the world but man does it kick ass. Swiss Army knife of media. And so there's that and FLAC is the alternative for WAVE as far as I'm concerned. Hog Vorbis I know. Yeah, if you can say it without laughing... Someone still-I think someone still makes a version of our show in Ogborbus and there's a reason for it over there on noagendasocial.com There are a couple of Australian producers You know the bandwidth in Australia is pretty sad

2:46:49 Especially upload. I mean, we're looking at 500 kilobit per second from 4G and even less from home Wi-Fi when that's granted that's in Melbourne not Sydney but you know... Right so they need a smaller more compact file yeah and these guys make a version of no agenda that's extremely dinky Yeah That sounds good Yeah Ogvorbis Ogvorbis I had years and years ago in the 90s when I was doing radio show I had the inventor of Og Vorbis on the show. Oh, is this the morning zoo you did? Yeah, I did a morning zoo and this guy he's one of few guys who just don't remember anybody but i remember this guy and I could never really get a good explanation out of him why he called it Og Vorbis. Good! You asked the question at least that's good Maybe we can dig up that old tape and see if

AP Social News Wire, Tim Allen Cancellation

The Associated Press is launching a tool to curate social media content, but will only pull from "verified users," effectively excluding independent voices. In entertainment news, Tim Allen's "Last Man Standing" was canceled despite high ratings, which is attributed to his political leanings. Additionally, a viral video from UT Austin shows a student having a public breakdown over a Trump sign, which is characterized as a "pod person" event.

Hey this is not a barn get out I got stuff to do! I don't want to hear about your crap all the time." But no he had to become like a horrible man horrible A-hole who does he think he is? and then and then this is a local story at I think it's UT Austin

And they were talking about big Trump signs and I think it was a religious organization so you know they were also vocal...and this art major comes out and she just does the following and it just goes on and on You tell me when you've heard enough So she's looking at these guys who are filming it, they're filming it themselves. And this is what she does and she's throwing her bag on the ground and throwing lunch articles on the ground trying to get lipstick and write stuff on the sidewalk. This is what happens when you don't take your meds!

2:50:52 This is why I don't believe in the legalization of marijuana. This is exactly why I don't believe in the legalization of marijuana! Right here on the Western Washington campus, she's going nuts with a Trump sign... With a Trump sign... I hear the guy in the back- That's how everyone in America feels about it! Did you hear that? Someone was yelling- That's how everyone in America feels about it! She's going nuts With the Trump sign, she doesn't like the Trump sign. As she takes a break grabs in her purse writing something and lipstick on the ground. Oh resist we much? Okay wait there's more! I could listen to this screaming all day. Oh there's more! That's her decision not mine.
