It stinks, it's got this white goo, and when you chew it, it makes a squeaking sound.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, June 2nd, 2016, and time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 830.
This is No Agenda.
Telling telemarketers to stop calling me!
Broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State of FEMA Region 6, Austin Tejas.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern California, northern Silicon Valley to be exact, where I'm drinking Perrier on sale.
I'm John C. DeBoer.
It's crackblot and buzzkill in the morning.
Oh, that's interesting.
I'm drinking San Pellegrino from Amazon Prime Now.
Are you having water shipped?
Oh my god, John.
Amazon Prime now is the bee's knees.
It's perfect!
Yeah, for a shut-in.
Well...
You know, I'm a man alone.
When I need to carry objects from the car to my apartment...
Oh, you mean they go all the way upstairs and drop it off at the door?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And we have one guy who works for Amazon.
And by the way, 30 minutes delivery time.
So you're telling me...
So you're ordering now, as of now, you're ordering your groceries and San Pellegrino.
Only the items that are a pain in the ass.
And this one kid who works for Amazon...
I think he's experiencing deafness and experiencing speechless.
You can't say deaf and dumb anymore.
I'm trying to say he's experiencing that.
And he has keys to the whole building.
I guess you boost the place.
And all it costs is a $5 tip for the delivery.
As a Prime member, it's free.
I know.
But you still tip.
Well, it's built in.
It's minimum five.
Oh, it's built in?
Yeah, the tip is built in.
So he gets to five, even though you're not really paying five?
No, you are paying five.
You're paying above.
So there's no delivery charge, but there is a tip charge.
Oh, and it goes on the bill.
Yeah, and I always bump it up.
I add a couple bucks, you know, and the kids are always like, hey, Mr.
Curry, how you doing?
It's great to be here.
Once they start delivering fresh flowers, then it'll be all over.
Just saying.
I'm a big Amazon.
I want to buy a share of Amazon.
Should you buy a case of the Sam Pellegrino?
Yes!
Yes!
That's heavy.
Yes!
Yes.
Exactly.
It gives the kids something to do.
It's fantastic.
Well, it's better than that favorable crap.
These kids have real jobs.
$10.25 an hour.
And we're about to add $1,000 in Austin.
We have a big Amazon warehouse opening up.
Oh?
Yeah, in San Marcos.
So what else do you get besides heavy water?
Toilet paper?
That's light.
You can carry that.
No, no.
It's a pain in the ass carrying that up.
It doesn't fit in a paper bag.
You've got to hold it on your arm.
It's just all problems.
How much toilet paper do you use?
I like to buy in bulk.
And I'm a folder, in case that was your next question.
No, I don't really give a crap, as it were.
Now, my problem is the telemarketers.
I'm on the national do not call list, and of course, I still get calls.
Yeah, that does no good.
And it's always...
Are you getting the hello, Rachel?
You getting the Rachel?
No.
I'm getting hang-ups if I just let it go to voicemail.
I've disconnected and I've answered the phone and screamed at them.
It's the same people.
Would you like to have better rankings on Google with your search term for your business?
Oh, I haven't gotten that one.
And another thing.
This goes for everybody.
This goes for restaurants calling to confirm.
It calls for anybody calling me.
If you say, is this Adam Curry?
I'm hanging up on you.
Fuck you!
Introduce yourself.
I'm sorry, I'm really mad about this.
I was taught, hello, Curry residence, or hello, this is Adam, or hello, and then someone called, hi, this is so-and-so calling for...
Yeah, that sounds right.
I'm so-and-so calling for something.
No, it's always, hello, is this Adam Curry?
No.
Well, you ever get this one?
Ring, ring, you answer?
Ring, ring.
No, you answer here.
Okay, I got you.
I'm going to answer.
Hold on a second.
Hello, Curry Resonance.
Who is this?
Who the fuck are you?
I'm sorry.
Who is this, is what I would say.
Who's calling, please?
That's what I would say.
Who's calling, please?
Click.
Click.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's different.
That's your stalker, John.
That has nothing to do with telemarketers.
Who is this?
I don't know what her name is, but be careful with your rabbits.
Who is this?
You got rabbits?
Keep them away.
Ah, okay.
Well, that triggered me.
Maybe I should play just a little bit of sound from a social justice warrior at UCLA right down the block from you.
I mean, if you took a really fast train.
You saw this, the UCLA? We had two events.
I have the long, full report from ABC News on the UCLA thing because I do have commentary.
Okay.
My UCLA thing is something else that was going on at the same time, but I want to listen to your...
Okay, that's probably more interesting.
Hit it.
Well, Milo, the...
The guy that you can never remember.
The blonde gay guy from Britain who's all for Trump.
And right now he's on the...
What is the name of his college tour?
It's like the hostile...
By the way, have you seen the guy that Kimmel has?
Which guy?
For Trump, the Trump guy.
Oh, did you impersonate him?
No, no.
No, no.
He's a guy who shows up at all the Trump rallies and starts...
He goes crazy.
No, I haven't seen that.
Yay, Trump!
He interrupts conversations.
Yeah, isn't that the way Trump...
No, I didn't see that.
It's very funny.
He has this guy on every so often.
Well, so this Milo guy, I'm a big fan of his.
I think it's the Dangerous Faggot Tour or something.
Yeah, the Dangerous Faggot Tour.
He's going around colleges and he's just, you know, he's frying everybody's brain because he's gay.
And so how can you ever be for Trump or how can you ever be against social justice warriors?
You got to see this guy, John.
But I got a lot of reports from producers who wanted to go to a speech at the UCLA campus.
And there were just protesters blocking the doors, locking the doors.
Really?
Yes!
On a college campus.
No!
No, they don't want him to speak.
And so here's just, it's ten seconds, but you can get the idea.
There's a girl standing in front of the door.
She's so beside herself with just rage and, I don't know, trigger.
She's throwing a garbage can.
She's bending.
Everything you hear in this ten seconds is bending over and screaming.
Just listen.
Coffee!
Oh, we should film her.
Oh, no.
Man, it's like she's been shot or something.
Wow, that's a good scream if you just had a little more fidelity to it.
Unfortunately, I know.
It was actually sent to me as perhaps a replacement for our scream.
It's one of those...
This is a tantrum.
This is a tantrum, though.
It's a tantrum.
Yeah, it's a tantrum.
The parents recognized this.
It's a psycho tantrum.
Yeah, the parents recognized this.
Let's do it again.
again.
Now, before we get to the UCLA event, I just wanted to stop about this for one minute.
I think you responded on Twitter to this news that Plano senior high school graduates will not be allowed to wear their National Honor Society gowns, or were not allowed, during graduation.
Because that would make the other children who were not on the honor roll feel bad.
You saw this.
You know, the funny thing, I was actually a National Honor Society.
Why does this not surprise me?
And we didn't get a different gown.
We had a little button, a little pin.
It was actually a little gold pin.
But nobody felt bad about it.
And if anything else, some guy would get on his hands and knees behind you, and some other guy would push you, and you'd go flying.
That's the kind of reaction that our school had to us.
Yeah.
It's more normal, seems to me.
And it's a funny gag.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, anyway, this goes right back to the other story we had a couple of shows ago about parents discussing probably better not to read bedtime stories to your children because that puts them at a disadvantage for children who...
We did that one.
Yeah.
It's a good one, too.
And I think it was Sir Jim of Jamaica Plains.
Barbarin there in Massachusetts.
He said, I know you guys talked about it on the show, but this is Harrison Bergeron all over again.
Well, remind me of what we're talking about.
Harrison Bergeron was this, I believe this is written by Kurt Vonnegut.
Okay.
It's about intelligent, athletic kid, you know, teenager.
He's taken away from his parents.
And what happened was his parents were, his dad was too strong and his mom was too pretty.
So the government prescribes handicaps for people so everyone is equal.
So the dad has to walk around with 20-pound weights on his arms, or 50-pound weights, a handicapped bag around his neck, which is just weights.
And his mom had to wear a bag over her head to look ugly.
I never read this story.
Really?
There's even a...
I think there's a movie version of it.
Yeah.
Really?
You've never heard about...
We've talked about it on the show.
No, I'm sorry, but I just don't know.
I haven't read everything.
I've only actually read...
I don't even know if I've read a full Vonnegut book.
Something about his writing style I always had trouble getting through.
Well, from the Book of Knowledge.
In the year 2081, not that far off, amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better looking, or more physically able than anyone else.
That would be ableism.
The handicapper general's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear handicaps, masks for those too beautiful, radios inside of the ears for intelligent people, and heavyweights for the strong or athletic.
I'm so shocked.
I like the story already.
I'll put the video version in the show notes at 830.noagendanotes.com.
But that is where we're headed.
Sounds like it.
It's ludicrous.
I'll say.
And maybe just stay...
I have yet to understand and I expect to fully understand fully the genesis of this and how easy it's been taking over the thought process or the I don't know what you want to call it the collective unconscious of the university systems.
Well, there's a lot of articles about it.
I think it has to do with the amount of money.
The tuition fees.
How about that?
Yeah, I think that you pay this.
I'm paying this much.
I have a right.
I have to have my safe space.
And the school wants the money.
Of course.
So they just knuckle under.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That's what I'm guessing.
But that's kind of a one-dimensional analysis.
And then we might as well go straight into this guerrilla story.
What about the...
We're still talking about the shooting.
Yeah, but we're kind of on social justice warriors.
You want to come back to that?
You want to go into the shooting now?
I want to keep with the shooting.
Okay.
Let's go to the shooting.
What do you got?
In fact, I think you could have had a little more for me on the Social Justice Warriors besides that screaming woman.
Well, I just wanted to give you a whole other Social Justice Warrior thing about the gorillas.
I was staying in the Social Justice Warriors.
Okay, well, go on.
I'll hear this out.
Okay.
Of course, I'm not going to play you a clip of anything because we all saw whatever.
We didn't see the killing of the gorilla, which I thought to be very unfortunate.
That's what I want to see.
I want to freak people out.
Show that.
Show that.
The funny thing was face bag and tweets.
Because, of course, in today's social justice warrior world, SJWW, SJW Squared, Obviously the life of an animal is much more important than the life of a human being.
Even though I'm pretty sure the laws of primacy on this planet dictate otherwise.
But okay.
Here we go.
Some chosen tweets.
That gorilla was taken from its homeland, put in captivity, and then killed to preserve white life.
That sounds familiar.
Number two.
I like the little snide remark at the end.
Oh, wait.
Killing an endangered gorilla at a zoo for a white boy's safety is white privilege.
If the boy was black, they would have found a tranquilizer.
Okay.
That gorilla was black, unarmed, and 17.
I said last night the gorilla was protecting the child.
Them crackers just killed him because he was black.
Ripped to the gorilla who was just trying to be a gorilla.
But white people captured him and then other white people wanted to touch him.
Now he dead.
This is great.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
There's one problem.
The kid is black!
Was the kid black?
Yes!
I couldn't tell.
The kid's black!
Well, what do you expect?
Oh my goodness!
I'd like to know, where did you get the, I mean...
Faceback?
It's not like, yeah, I know you got them from Faceback, but were they in your feed?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
How did they get in your feed?
From people who I'm friends with.
Or their friends that they...
These people are your friends?
Or they have friends who they've re-shared their things with, like a retweet.
And those people are your friends?
No, they're acquaintances of my friends, who are not really friends, most of them.
They're just face bag friends.
Bag friends.
Face friends.
I didn't follow it that closely that I would even look at the tweets, but I'm sure they're just the same.
The main thing is now, of course, and I'm going to change my viewpoint on this.
I had quite a long discussion last night with Tina the Keeper about it.
Well, you know me.
I'm a sucker anyway.
She is all in with you.
About what?
Tina is all in with you.
Okay.
You were way ahead of your time.
Putting your toddler on a leash.
Yeah.
She had five different stories.
She has five different stories.
Like, this happened and that happened.
Hey, you just slap a leash on that kid.
And was that Buzzkill Jr.
who had the leash?
Yeah, he would always like to take off.
He'd just shoot off like a...
He was fast.
If we went to an airport, we'd never find him.
And from what age to what age was he like this?
I don't know.
Two, three, something like that.
Four, maybe.
So he was from like two...
No, it wouldn't be four.
That's too old.
So like two years.
Two is two and three, I think.
A full year on the leash.
No, he wasn't on the leash.
Yeah, a full year.
If we spent a year at the airport...
But can I suggest a more modern version of this?
Drug him.
No, no, no.
Parents have an app, and you have a geofence.
And the kid has a necklace on, and the minute the kid walks outside the geofence...
Shot caller.
It's a jolt.
Shot caller.
Yeah.
Teach him for dealing with the cops.
You can actually buy those shot callers for kids.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, I'm telling you.
This is great.
Geofence with an app.
And the kids...
You found one of the Star Trek episodes very familiar when he was older.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
You can just wait for it.
You can wait for it.
It's going to happen.
Geo.
Maybe it'll be a light shock.
But it'll be a little...
You have to give him one, a good jolt.
Yeah, but it'll happen automatically.
And it'll teach the kid, you know, for a life full of tasing in school and work and on the street.
Better instruction than the leash, you're probably right.
I think it'll work much better.
Because, you know, the leash, you're in constant battle straining against the leash.
And by the way, I think a combo deal would be pretty good.
We could give the kid some drugs and the shock collar.
You see, then I think it'll stick better.
The Pavlovian response.
Well, the drugs would probably definitely put him in a mood to be in a modern society.
Yes.
Well, I'm all for it.
Alright, so let's go back to UCLA, which was a good example of this sort of thing you're talking about, because all the kids, all I saw when I watched this report were, I would say, they say hundreds of cops in SWAT uniforms.
Don't forget, if anyone doesn't know about what happened, at UCLA, Some, there was a, I don't know, some sort of a lover's tiff or who knows what.
It was two guys, right?
Yeah, two guys.
One guy shot the other, was a professor, and then he shot himself.
And they left a note saying, you know, I love you forever, I don't know what.
Wow.
Dramatic.
It's dramatic.
They won't release the note.
So, uh, the tuition's too high, I would buy you.
No, how about you just, you stupid social justice warrior, here, take that!
So that's what happened.
And it was just bang, bang, over in a second.
But no.
So the cops come barreling in, thousands of them from the looks of it, as far as I can tell.
And armored vehicles are all geared up with that protective gear, SWAT stuff.
Yes, it's not right.
Machine guns.
They got all the kids on their knees with their hands on their heads.
It was hilarious to watch because here's the UCLA. I went to Cal Berkeley and so we have little respect except for the cheerleaders at UCLA. And so there they are.
They're all on their hands and knees or on their knees with their hands on their heads.
And after they found the two, the two dead people, which happened in a second and all this was just ridiculous.
Hey man, I'm going to give you a trigger warning for real, man.
So they found the two guys, but they still had to clear all the students.
So they went, they rifled through all their backpacks, and everybody, of course, has a backpack.
Of course.
And I should go on one of my bitches about that.
Yeah, we know the plane.
We know.
They all had their backpacks, so they're just rifling through the backpacks to make sure there's no weapons.
And so, okay, you can go.
Two guys are dead already.
There's nothing going on.
There's no more shooting.
Oh, but they don't know.
They don't know what's going on.
They don't know what's happening.
They had a few shots and then it was over.
There was no more shooting.
There was nothing going on.
But they kept it.
And the kids were acting like a bunch of squirrely grammar school kids.
It was unbelievable to me the way this went down.
They've trained the youth of America, the college youth, to be the same, so cowering, horrible, afraid of their own shadow, but let's shake the fist at the man kind of thing.
And so here's the report.
This is a long report.
It's two minutes.
But you have to imagine the scene.
Cops in big groups running around like the Keystone cops.
Just ridiculous.
And a bunch of kids cowering and on their knees.
With David Muir.
Good evening and we begin tonight with those two hours of terror at UCLA in Los Angeles.
Authorities say a shooter taking deadly aim and then killing himself, triggering a massive lockdown.
Heavily armed police flooding the hallways and the buildings on campus searching from room to room for the gunman.
Students trapped inside, and you can see them setting up makeshift barricades with whatever they could find.
The students who were outside were told to get down and put their hands up as their backpacks were then searched one by one this afternoon.
Tonight, authorities have not released the name of the suspect, but there is word of a note possibly left behind, and ABC's Kena Whitworth is on the scene for us.
Gunfire erupting on campus.
Around 10 o'clock this morning, a report of a shooting occurred here on the UCLA campus.
Police flooded with calls after shots ring out in an engineering building at UCLA. Hundreds of officers swarm the area, rifles drawn, fears of a possible gunman on campus.
Thousands of students in classes taking final exams, now told to shelter in place.
Dozens trapped inside the building.
I heard somebody yell, everybody run, escape, run.
And then I heard commotion in the crowd.
People were saying they saw an assault rifle.
Some barricading themselves inside, propping tables against doors, tying printer cords to door handles, using belts, anything they could find to stay safe.
We just bolted out of there and ran up to the seventh floor of one of the buildings and then hid in the bathroom for like an hour and a half.
Two-day major incident with the LA Division.
The city is on technical alert status.
Other area schools on lockdown while the UCLA campus is searched.
SWAT teams seen inside the hallway of this building on surveillance cameras going door to door.
Officers finding two male victims with gunshot wounds, a gun and a note found nearby.
After two hours of chaos, police announcing that shooting?
A murder-suicide.
Each student is cleared one by one, told to drop to their knees with their hands up Wow.
Did they have to spread their cheeks?
Final search by police.
And Kena Whitworth is with us live tonight.
Kena, what are investigators telling you?
Well, David, I just was able to speak with them, and they're telling me their next step here is to figure out who this shooter is.
They will be searching their apartment and scrubbing their social media accounts.
And in the meantime, this engineering building behind me remains a crime scene.
Wait a minute.
Why do they have to scrub their social media accounts?
Is that now standard operating procedure?
I have no idea.
That's what she said.
I think she may have misspoke.
I think she may have meant they're going to go over it and find the evidence.
But maybe they are going to erase it.
That's possible that you mentioned.
I didn't pick that up, but it could be.
It could be operating.
You know, let's get this guy out there.
Just anybody else tries to do something like this.
We don't like him any impetus.
Yeah.
I have an ISO, by the way.
He's having an ISO from the thing, which I think is useful.
Let me try it out.
Do you see a major incident in West LA Division?
The city is on technical alert status.
I'll roger that.
So here we have a pathetic situation created by the modern environment.
How about Zeitgeist?
Zeitgeist is a bunch of cowering, get on your knees, put up with the crap, you know, and this is unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Speaking of...
And just the visuals were just like...
And the number of police...
Somebody should...
If you could find some way to rob a bank during one of these things.
Oh, that's the time to do it.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Every cop in the country is...
And they had to stay there for the two hours.
They couldn't add two and two.
There was no shooting.
There was nothing going on.
So they had to terrorize the kids.
What I think happened was they found the two dead guys, and then they said, you know, we might as well turn this into an exercise.
Yeah, since we're here.
Since we're here.
Let's terrorize the kids.
Oh, there's one hiding in the bathroom for an hour and a half, cowering in the bathroom.
Sheltering in place.
Unbelievable.
Well, speaking of scrubbing...
Seems the thing I would do, by the way, I know these campuses, I've been to UCLA. You leave the building and you just take off.
You leave, get in your car and go.
Yeah, you just get out of there.
It's not that hard to do.
People are terrorized, John, particularly the kids.
They've just been de-terrorized.
Hello.
This is known fact.
Okay.
State Department, speaking of scrubbing.
You probably saw this, but the little ditty we talked about, what was that, a month ago probably?
About a missing three-minute video from the State Department.
Oh, right.
Yes, this is hilarious.
This was regarding, what's her name?
Not Newland.
Because Newland was the one that had lied.
And then...
What was it?
Jen.
Jen Psaki.
I thought it was Newland.
No, but it was Jen Psaki who lied about her.
And then that was removed from the videotape.
Although it was at the time...
Ben, we're going to listen to that in a second.
It was deemed a glitch.
It was just a glitch.
Just a glitch.
And you recall Matt Lee, who was not here for the unfolding of the truth...
Was really hounding.
It was Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau, actually, who was covering up.
No, no, just a glitch, just a glitch.
Anyway, Mr.
Kirby, Admiral, Rear Admiral Kirby comes out.
Can I say something?
Of course.
You don't have to ask.
Kirby, well, I have to interrupt somehow.
Kirby, I saw him doing some, there was some other event with him.
Have you seen that binder?
Yes, it actually comes up in one of these clips.
It's huge.
The thing is, the site is unbelievably big.
It is the biggest binder.
I have never seen a binder this time.
He has to use two hands to turn to another topic.
It's unbelievable.
And this topic was so big, he actually has to stop to use two hands to turn the page and gets interrupted.
Because I thought he was done.
So, again, recalling that this was a cover-up of a lie.
And this came to a head as Kirby just...
He did receive a question about this, but I'm going to presume that was a setup question.
He says, oh yes, thank you for asking me that.
I almost forgot.
Well, he didn't.
It was a long segment, but I'm going to give you just a couple pieces of it.
Here's his statement.
As many of you know, and I want to be specific on this, so I'm going to refer to my notes a little bit.
As many of you know, and some of you have brought to our attention...
A portion of the State Department's December 2, 2013 press briefing was missing from the video that we posted on our YouTube account and on our website.
That missing portion covered a series of questions about US negotiations with Iran.
When alerted to this, I immediately directed the video to be restored in its entirety with a full and complete copy that exists and had existed since the day of the briefing on the Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System website, otherwise known as DIVID. I also verified that the full transcript of the briefing, which we also post on our website, was intact and had been so since the day of the briefing.
I asked the Office of the Legal Advisor to look at this, including a look at any rules that we had in place.
In so doing, they learned that a specific request was made to excise that portion of the briefing.
We do not know who made the request to edit the video or why it was made.
To my surprise, the Bureau of Public Affairs did not have in place any rules governing this type of action.
Therefore, we are taking immediate steps to craft appropriate protocols on this issue, as we believe that deliberately removing a portion of the video was not and is not in keeping with the State Department's commitment to transparency and public accountability.
No shit.
Yes.
I'm not, let me just finish.
Sorry, I didn't know.
I got a little bit more?
It was a dramatic pause.
I was just turning the page.
There it is.
His huge binder.
Specifically, we are going to make clear that all video and transcripts from daily press briefings will be immediately and permanently archived in their entirety.
And that in the unlikely event that narrow, compelling circumstances require edits to be made, such as the inadvertent release of privacy-protected information, they will only be made with the express permission of the Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and with an appropriate level of annotation and disclosure.
I have communicated this new policy to my staff, and it takes effect immediately.
Okay.
What happened to the glitch?
Well, we'll get into that in a moment.
It wasn't a glitch.
That was a lie.
But what Kirby is saying is someone called up.
Now, this is the PA, the Public Affairs Department.
It's not that big in the State Department.
I'm sure there's 40, 50 people, but it's not that big.
So, he's going to go into a little more detail here to explain exactly what happened, but I'll set it up for you.
Somebody called to the somebody who was responsible for the videos and said, we need somebody else in public affairs who was of authority says you have to edit this to there out.
Which, by the way, if you remember the little skit we did at the time, it was exactly that way.
Hey, so-and-so wants to cut out.
Yeah, no problem.
What do we do?
It's a jump cut.
I just put a flash in, which is exactly what happened.
Flash.
Exactly what happened.
Of course, the question is, who did this?
Who did the edit?
Now, they've talked to the person who did the edit, who was unnamed.
We don't even know if the person was inside the public affairs agency, but I presume he was or she was.
We do not know who asked for the edit.
They call him over at the grammar school?
They got a hold of him?
Yeah, exactly.
They do not know who asked, nor the person who was mentioned as the authority for which it should be done.
And no need to investigate because, and this is a beautiful line, strangely we have no rules about this stuff.
Can't believe it.
How about falsifying government documentation?
Wouldn't you say that adheres here?
I would say no.
I don't think this is falsifying anything.
This is just taking something out.
Okay.
If they put something in that was bullcrap, I'd say that would be falsifying, but there's not falsifying.
If you just remove, excise something that's not really falsifying anything.
Well, it's certainly not transparent, but he sees no reason for an investigation.
I think it's worthwhile to investigate that.
Oh, no.
No, he says it's not worthwhile.
Because he's the one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know when the edit, or the cut, I should say, occurred?
Was it some point afterwards, or was it the same day?
To the best of our knowledge, the edit was done the same day.
And how do you know that it was deliberately removed, as you said?
As I understand it, the request was made, again, back in 2013, over the phone.
The recipient of the call, who is one of the editors, does not remember...
They have editors.
Interesting.
What do editors do?
Edit?
The edit.
So this doesn't seem like an isolated incident as far as I'm concerned, but okay, that's just me.
Maybe reading too much into it.
The editor does not remember anything other than that the caller was passing on a request from somewhere else in the bureau.
And are you doing any...
Well, hold on a second.
Stop.
There's an implication here.
Yeah.
That this situation must happen more often than not, if you can't recall.
Oh, yeah.
If it was a one-off.
Oh, yeah.
This comes up.
This comes up.
Don't worry.
The press was asking questions.
In fact, someone...
They do ask questions.
They just never reported anything.
Why bother?
In the Bureau.
And are you doing any...
I mean, as you said, there was no rules about this, but are you nevertheless investigating further to figure out who did this and why?
The short answer, Brad, is no.
As I said, there were no rules in place at the time to govern this sort of action.
So while I believe it was an inappropriate step to take, I see little foundation for pressing forward with a formal investigation.
Wow, why bother?
Why bother?
Now, luckily, the girl from CNN was in the room, and just a little bit, because she got pretty excited, and I liked it.
It's a little strange.
Somebody, so the person you spoke to admitted cutting it from the tape and said somebody they can't remember told them to do that.
They didn't know their position, how senior they were, have any indication of their authority to ask them that.
And then they just said, well, I did it, but somebody I can't remember told me to do it.
That seems a little fishy, right?
The recipient doesn't remember anything other than that the caller was passing on a request from somewhere else in the Bureau.
And that is the most information that we were able to gain.
Wait, wait, wait.
You said, I'm sorry, I don't remember if you said this before, but you said a request was made from someone in the Bureau.
So it was made from someone in PA? The recipient of the call doesn't remember anything other than that the caller, the individual who called this technician, was passing on a request from someone else in the Public Affairs Bureau.
Would the editor forget a one-of-a-kind request?
There's your question.
I mean, as I understand you're saying, you're not aware of any other occasions.
All I can do is tell you what the individual when asked could remember.
I mean, I can't do more than that.
Again, this happened three years ago.
Did the legal advisor ask other than top officials in PA whether they made that request?
I'm not going to get into the specific details about it.
Well, but it does go to how thorough the investigation on this was.
This wasn't an investigation.
Remember, at least there were no rules governing this.
Just because there were no rules governing taking out a public briefing and editing it doesn't mean that it was the right thing to do.
So I'm sorry that there were no rules, but I don't really think that, you know, just because there's no rule on certain things...
And you've sat from this podium.
There was no rule on, you know, Secretary Clinton not using emails, but it was the wrong thing to do.
So I don't think that...
And as I said, I don't find this to be the appropriate step to have taken either.
No, no.
But I asked the Office of the Legal Advisor to look into this.
They did?
What the hell is the Office of the Legal Advisor?
Like a secretary who just says, nah, no investigation needed.
What is the Office of the Legal Advisor saying?
The office of the legal advisor is obviously the cover your ass go-to guy.
Yeah, that's what it is.
So you go into the office of the legal advisor, which means there's a legal advisor inside.
Somewhere.
So you don't actually go knock and talk to the door.
You actually go in and talk to the legal advisor, not the office of legal advisor.
Well, maybe just talk to the office.
You don't know.
I gotta take this guy to his word.
Is anybody here?
No.
I'm asking a question to the office.
There you go.
I think that's pretty much it.
You gotta take these people at their word.
Emails, but it was the wrong thing to do.
So I don't think that...
And as I said, I don't find this to be the appropriate step to have taken either.
But I asked the Office of the Legal Advisor to look into this.
They did.
They pursued it for me.
And we got about as far as we can go.
The individual who took the call doesn't remember anything more than that it was being passed on from somebody else in the Public Affairs Bureau.
I cannot be any more specific than that right now.
Well, at the time, he wasn't there.
But I'm pretty sure it was either Psaki or Newland.
But maybe they sent little flute girl out.
You never know.
Band camp girl.
Maybe.
Maybe they made her do it.
Now, what I did last night is I went and found the clip that we had played originally.
Let me see if I have a date on this when we actually played this.
Hold on.
Although I edited it.
It may not have the original date.
No, I don't have the original date.
Anyway.
Oh, yes.
May 11th.
Yeah, so that's three weeks ago.
In hindsight, it's very interesting to hear this bit from the substitute spokeshole, which is Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau, because it sheds a little bit of light on, I think, there's some clues in here.
One is who did the actual edit, and two, why the edit was done.
I believe we can deduce this from her words from May 11th.
The transcript of that daily press briefing and video was always available.
Transcript was on state.gov.
The video was available on other sites.
There was a glitch in the State Department video.
When Fox flagged it for us, we actually replaced it with a video from Divids, which is the military repository where a lot of news media.
Now, I believe that this happened to Divids.
And I've been subscribed to Divids for many years.
That's where I get most of my Pentagon videos from.
But they also do State Department videos.
And I'm thinking...
I have not looked...
I didn't have time to look into all the work they do.
But I'm pretty sure...
Everyone keeps saying divots.
Who gives a shit where you got the original fun from?
Who cares?
But they keep saying divids, divids, divids.
Yeah, they keep saying that when you start hearing something like that, it's a red flag.
There's a reason for it.
I'm pretty sure that it happened at divids and maybe someone, one of our producers can help us with that.
But I think that's probably a service they offer and I'm pretty sure they got the call.
A repository where a lot of news media gets its video.
The whole video was there.
And we also annotated it on our YouTube channel.
I noticed she's saying annotated it.
But is there any indication that you've, since this was brought to your attention, I guess, yesterday?
Yeah.
Have you discovered that it was altered at all?
Not to my knowledge.
There was a missing portion of it.
We pulled it from another online source.
I get that, but I'm trying to figure out how exactly the portion...
You know what?
It's something we're looking into.
It is.
We've changed our procedures, and this is so technical.
Remember, this is so technical, we've changed our procedures, this is so technical, but here comes the next clue.
Changed our procedures, and this is so technical, and forgive me for this.
We've changed our procedures on that, but we are taking a look at it.
You know, certainly, you know, transparency and getting information to you guys, not only here in the briefing room, but on the web and searchable is a priority for us.
Ah!
Searchable is a priority for us.
That's what's going on.
They annotate all these videos, then they did not want this particular piece searchable.
And maybe they're even talking about some of the video searchable algorithms that go out there and look at closed caption and use that for search results.
Yeah, it could be.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
That's why they did it.
They did not want someone to be able to Google this and get that piece of video.
That was the idea.
Because they have the hits.
They get the hits as State Department, you know, as the primary source.
They get all the top hits.
Now we have the video again?
Yes, the video is back.
Yes, and it just comes back to one point that we keep looking at.
Why was this so important?
Why did they not want this being, turning up in search results?
Why did they ask, presumably, divids to edit that piece out?
It's a trail to the Hillary Clinton plane crash during the secret Iran negotiations.
At least that's one theory.
Yeah.
Do we have it to play again?
The...
The missing piece.
No, you don't have to play it.
No.
It was just...
All that is apparent is there were secret negotiations around the timeline that we received.
Right.
That's where Hillary conked her head.
Yes.
That is...
Now, by the way, I've got another source of this that claims it's a helicopter crash.
Ooh.
That would make sense.
That seems a lot more survivable for one or two and getting rattled.
Yeah.
Wow, that's a good source.
Yeah.
The helicopter guy.
He says it was a helicopter.
It was a, I guess, a puddle jumping from place to place and something happened.
Huh.
Well, that's interesting.
Okay, now I'll have to go.
Well...
Producers, get on the stick.
Get on the stick, people.
We need to figure this one out.
Okay.
Well, that was good.
I like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm also just astounding.
I like anything with Kirby.
This guy is so unsuited for this job.
He truly is.
Classy, I can't imagine what an admiral...
Knowing the way that the Navy operates and the kind of egos that are involved in captaining and admiraling in the Navy, to take this sort of demeaning job, and I'm sure he sees it as a girl's job.
Ooh, yeah.
He has to.
Yeah, he seems like one of those dudes.
And he looks like that kind of able.
Yeah, dude.
Dude.
He has got to be beside himself with this job.
That's why he's got that big binder, because he's so insecure.
They have all their written...
I mean, he was reading everything.
I mean, if you see when Saki, one of the women who know what they're doing in that job, when they had come out with their binder, they just have like a little binder.
It's like a one-inch three-ring binder.
He's got this thing of his is about six, seven inches thick.
Yeah, it is.
Well, while we're on that, then we might as well talk about people having problems with public speaking.
And this is probably the worst I've ever heard it.
Our very own president, who was trying to, well, what the news media would say is, slam Donald Trump.
But he did it without the teleprompter.
Oh man, that did not work out well.
Have you seen this?
I've heard it.
So we'll play it again.
I think our record producers out there who like to give us little ditties will get something out of it.
Oh gee, wouldn't it be funny if it already had something?
Oh!
Okay, that surprised me.
Just a little ditty.
Now, this is the first time I've really understood the president is a stammerer or a stutterer.
It's not like we didn't know that.
I think he's a stutterer.
He's a stutterer, yes.
And all of a sudden I've dealt with, I've been in contact with a lot of stutterers in my life because it's very akin to Tourette's.
There's a whole bunch of overlap.
Then I know a lot of the training, which is mainly breathing exercises, that people go through to alleviate that in speech.
And for the first time, it really hit me, oh my god, the president is doing exercises to stop stuttering.
That's what the long pauses are for.
The really long pause.
He has to do an exercise.
Oh, he has to compose himself.
Yes.
Or prepare himself for the next utterance.
And this is probably why he always has been on teleprompter.
He has an issue.
It's like walking and chewing gum.
I think it's difficult for him.
Anyway, just listen to this.
It was the worst I've ever heard.
If we turn against each other based on divisions of race or religion, if we fall for a bunch of okey-doke, Just because, you know, it...
Oh, man, he can't do it.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Sounds funnier.
The tweets are...
Breathe.
Provocative.
Then we're not going to build on the progress that we started.
It seems to be certain words, too, that are difficult for him.
Well, it seems to be one of them.
Man, oh man.
That is so...
I mean, poor guy.
That's out of control.
That's pretty bad.
If we fall for...
Now, you consider yourself to be a stutterer.
A stammerer.
I've never been a stutterer.
No, a stammerer.
But it's breathing.
It's really breath control.
Or at least that's what I've always learned.
But man, this is so bad.
Well, I know we had a bad stutterer on the Oakland Raiders.
Who was a cornerback.
For some reason his name's not coming to me immediately.
But he was horrible.
And they would occasionally get on the air.
And it was like he couldn't say anything.
He just couldn't get anything out.
Oh man, so horrible.
And he went to some local vocal guy who dealt with stutterers.
And he, with feedback training...
Yeah.
And this guy's theory was that stutterers, the real problem that they have is they don't hear themselves.
No, their brain is going ahead of it.
It's too fast.
They're thinking too fast.
So they can't slow down.
Oh, that's possible.
That would make sense.
Well, I would say so with this cornerback, Lester Hayes, because he was just a fast, he was, you know, jumpy.
These guys are wired.
Wired.
Play this position.
So he was a horrible stutterer, but the guy claims that the brain goes so fast that they can't catch up to them.
Their thoughts are too slow.
And so they're constantly trying to back up, and that's what his theory was.
And so with feedback training where they put them, you know, with headphones and then made them listen to themselves and then changed when the thing came across.
It's like listening to...
Now, you don't think this could be induced by some amphetamines?
Maybe Adderall or something else?
It could be a little...
It could be a little wired?
More wired, perhaps.
Yeah.
I don't know.
And what is an okey-doke?
Is that a reference I'm missing?
Yeah.
I think what it refers to is a...
It refers to, I think it's an old southern term, and it refers to like...
Okie doke.
It must be Hawaiian, John.
It's like a move.
Yeah, it could be.
It's like you're making a move on somebody.
You're kind of like faked out.
You're faked out.
I think it's like a fake out.
You're doing the okie doke.
Like, hey, I'm over here, I'm over there.
I see.
Okie doke.
I just have to...
Ask your book of knowledge.
Ask your book of knowledge.
Oh, book of knowledge.
Definition of okey-doke.
Hmm.
I'm not sure what you meant by that.
Yeah, I know.
You're an idiot.
Useless.
You're an idiot.
She is useless.
Hey, Urban Dictionary okey-doke.
Let's see.
Someone...
Oh, okay.
Someone who's been tricked or duped.
Yeah, okey-doke.
A trick.
All right.
All right.
Okie doke.
If we fall for okie doke just because it sounds funny or provocative, if the tweets are a bunch of okie doke.
Okie doke.
Thanks, Obama.
I know it was put together hastily from J. Moon, but I like that.
We have something topical.
Good.
We need more.
It's a beautiful piece.
Beautiful piece.
And I'll put the ISO in the show notes for those who need it.
If we fall for...
Oh, poor guy.
I feel bad for him.
Well...
So we have a bunch of, since we're talking about Trump and...
Should we take a break?
If we're going to go into election news, we'll be way late with the segment.
Okay, well, I can take a break.
I'm all in.
Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, then, and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for Kokidok Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also, in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water, feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to our producers.
Everyone checking in on the live stream in the chat room.
That would be noagendastream.com.
Thank you very much for your courage this morning.
And thank you once again to Mark G. Mark G brought us the album art for episode 829.
It was one of the most beautiful pieces and so well received.
Um...
Yeah, Mark G also asked...
He sent a note.
He wanted some karma, I believe.
Job karma.
So here's a guy who is this good.
And people went out of their way to specifically tweets and emails, etc.
How much they like this art.
And I was reading his...
He posted on...
What was it?
On the bag group or somewhere else.
Maybe on the tweeters.
He said that he likes the challenge of coming up with artwork before the end of the show.
It keeps his skills sharp.
This guy's a pro.
Yeah, and he does what we like about it.
We go over this art and what we like about his stuff.
And there's other people that do the same thing, but he does a very good job of symbolic representation that has got dimensionality.
As corny as that sounds, that's exactly what we do talk about, this sort of thing.
For sure we do.
Yeah, two or three levels in there that were interesting, and it had a lot of meaning.
And it's attractive.
That's one of the main things.
It also, it just jumps off of the page.
When I tweeted that link, and I always put the album art in the tweet, it just jumped right off the page.
It's so good.
So good.
And I should mention, I want to reiterate the attractiveness of certain art.
Because we reject, there's a lot of good art that is funny, it's got dimensionality, it's got all these things that we look for.
But it's unattractive.
You know, something gruesome.
It's got like blood, or it's got some big tongue coming out of a spittled mouth.
It's just not attractive.
It's something that's off-putting.
And there's a lot of...
Some of the artists, not a lot, but there's enough that produce that sort of thing.
And then somebody, by the way, is going to put a joke piece in this today.
I can tell already.
Of course.
A devil or something.
Hello, Nick the Rat.
Good morning.
There's no way we're going to pick those pieces because it deters.
It's supposed to be advertising.
Yes, it's a form of advertising, and it's got to be attractive.
It's got to attract people.
And maybe one of these days, all of the podcatcher apps out there will actually support the standardized per-episode album art.
It is a standard, people.
What?
What?
Yes, you might as well implement it.
The standardized art...
The protocol that you use, which is a standard, is not picked up by all these podcatch things?
I will say that now, most fields in RSS... You only need four fields, I believe, for it to be a valid RSS. But the podcast extensions is added by Apple and patented as such.
I'm actually mentioning the patents, not that I get any money.
They added all of these capabilities.
Interestingly enough, the largest offender of not showing episode album art is Apple.
Yeah.
Their own tags.
It's pretty funny.
No, no, it's sad is what it is.
Well, it's pretty funny as far as I'm concerned.
It's sad.
Anyway, he wants a jobs karma, and these things typically do work out, so let us know how that goes for you, Mark G. And we appreciate you for your courage.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yay!
You've got karma.
Nice.
And before we move on, can I do one more?
One more thanks to Dame Elise, our hot fisher chick up there in Alaska.
Oh, our fisher chick.
Yeah.
Did you get your new bottle?
No.
She sent...
I just got my copy of the Hillary book from...
Sir D.H. Slammer?
I actually got two.
Somebody else sent me one, too, and I couldn't figure out who.
And they sent me...
I don't know if DH... I couldn't tell who was who because they're just on marked boxes from Amazon.
But one of them...
So I got two.
So I got three of these books now.
One of them incorporated a toy Hillary doll.
Oh, no!
You had a bonus!
Yeah.
Sweet!
But anyway, Dame Elise Garling sent myself and Tina a bottle of her coveted homemade Limoncello.
And I have to admit, I had a little sip.
Oh, man.
It's probably the best batch she's ever made.
Wow.
It's really that good.
Really that good.
Let me see if she's anything else on her note.
Packing up to leave Washington State for another fishing season in Bristol Bay.
I'll try and save you some smoked salmon this year.
Yeah, you always promise that, Dame Elise.
You wind up scarfing it yourself.
Yeah.
She makes pretty good money catching salmon.
Well, salmon's a good business, especially up there.
People like salmon.
The real salmon that we're talking about that she gets compared to the crap that most people eat called salmon, which is really farmed salmon.
You can tell, here's a little tip for people out there.
With color pellets.
There's two things with farm salmon, besides the things that are artificially colored.
When you cook it, a bunch of white goo comes out.
Ooh, the most disgusting thing.
You've seen that, right?
It's been a while since I don't eat that.
This white goo comes out and it's like a white...
I don't know what it is.
And then when you chew the salmon, it has a kind of an overly...
It's like a turkey flavor.
It's over-the-top salmon-y, which is not attractive.
A good salmon is mild.
It's not like salmon-y.
And stinks.
It stinks.
It's got this white goo.
And when you chew it, it makes a squeaking sound in your mouth.
It squeaks when you try to bite it.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
It's a horrible product.
So you have real salmon, which you have to catch.
It's a delightful product.
Can I just say that I now, thank you for that, now I need to put a trigger warning on this podcast.
There are a lot of children today who cannot handle that description of salmon you just gave.
They will not be able to handle that.
Content warning people.
They won't eat the salmon either.
That's the good news.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
So we thank Dame Elise for that.
And we'll see.
She'll keep us in touch with how the fishing is going.
Anyway.
Thank you.
All right.
We have a few people to thank, including Sir Richard Moffat in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who came in with his birthday, 5-31-31.
Kershlam.
And that is his birthday.
Beautiful.
He was born in 1931, so he is, what, 85.
Yeah, just getting started.
He's 85, and he's a big show listener, and he did send in a note, handwritten.
Hold on a second.
How can this guy not be a ham radio operator?
He's perfect.
You're right.
And we have Ships Weekend coming up.
Warships Weekend.
It's going to be a fun one.
Talk to all the ships and submarines.
73s.
Dear John and Adam, my birthday is May 31st, 1931.
And as obvious, my donation reflects this.
I get to listen to a few talk programs, Mark Levin being one, not to my liking.
A great one!
Adam, you and John make me smile with your bantering, but Michael Savage keeps me laughing through most of his program.
Well, we like to balance it out.
We don't want you to be too happy.
You got to be a little depressed.
Oh, you got some stuff here.
Yeah.
And yes, I stumped for Trump.
Okay.
I will try to the best of my ability to support your podcast.
I know you're both trying to make a difference.
I'm sorry to say they won.
Oh.
What do you mean they won?
Well, I think we've mentioned this before, that we're not here as the podcasters to win anything.
We're not actually fighting the new world order.
We're not fighting anything.
We're fighting for survival.
Yeah, what we're trying to do is give people some heads up on what's going on so they don't get sucked into it.
And give you some tools.
And it's not just about the New World Order.
It's about life.
Life in general.
It's a lot of tools, sir.
We're tool followers.
Wow, wow, wow.
I'll give it in the morning for that.
In the morning!
Rule followers!
And so we're not in a competition to win or lose.
There's no such thing as winning.
We like to have fun and share a secret.
And hold hands.
And hold hands.
Wow, fabulous, fabulous.
Thank you very much, Sir Richard Moffitt.
Oh, he needs his karma.
He gets his birthday call.
Of course he does.
Hell yeah.
You've got karma.
Longevity karma for you, sir.
Thank you for your courage.
Thank you.
That's a lot of money.
I don't know if he saved a lot during his lifetime.
He could be loaded.
He's got the air about a guy who's loaded.
Nicholas Nath.
Wow.
Don't you think?
No!
I think most of our...
Anybody over the age of 80 that listens to our show...
Is loaded.
Is loaded.
Well, put us in your will then.
That's what those PBS guys have worked up.
That's a great scam that got worked out.
Yeah, put us in your...
An annuity.
An annuity.
Go do a reverse mortgage and give us the money.
Unbelievable.
People are hopeless.
And by the way, we can do that.
Hi, I'm Adam Curry.
As co-host of the No Agenda Show, you know we need your support now more than ever to fight the new world order.
Please, consider...
You may have heard a lot about these in the news recently.
Reverse mortgages.
Look it up.
Do your own research.
It's a great way to support the show.
And then we'll own a whole bunch of houses.
Which is fine.
I'm okay.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.
There's more.
How about donate your vehicle?
But don't, you know, but don't donate your vehicle for cash.
Just send us your vehicle.
That'd be funny.
We could always use another car.
Send me your cars.
We don't want blankets of water.
Just cars.
You want to continue with this?
I'm just daydreaming.
Are you done?
I'm just daydreaming.
Nicholas Nafpliotis, I think, in Waukegan, Illinois, 350.
No note, we can't find a note, no email, so I didn't see anything.
But if you have something you want to throw in there, Nicholas, just send us something.
We'll do it.
Michael Sabres.
Now we dropped it.
He's an associate executive.
We only have four today.
Michael Sabres in Danville, Pennsylvania.
200.
Thank you, John and Adam, for a truly unique product.
On June the 1st, I will be 49 years old.
Another birthday here.
Dangerously close to adulthood.
So the ladies of the Sabres household would like to present you with a $200 donation in my name.
If you could please add me to the birthday list and play the following jingles.
Send me your cash, adios mofo, and two to the head, along with a bit of jobs karma for everybody, to celebrate my recent graduate's successful job hunt.
If there's time, please send a douchebag call out to Mike Modo.
Douchebag!
Long-time listener and value leech.
Donate, Modo.
And stop enjoying this attention.
Okay.
Okay.
Cute.
We just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Adios, mofo.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.
Alrighty.
I wonder when he's going to go to jail with Clinton for that Haiti scam.
Yeah, there was some pictures on Twitter, I think someone sent them to us, of Haitians in New York holding a big sign, like, go Trump, please President Trump, save us, we can't have another Clinton who stole billions from Haiti.
Walking around.
It's funny that signage was never reported on any of the network news shows.
They were in the background, on camera, and they didn't report on it.
Yeah.
Eric Peterson in Glendale, Arizona, 200 bucks.
He's our last associate executive producer.
Adam and John, this donation is to say thank you for the Sunday show, especially the ending, the playing of Tapswell.
Simple was very appropriate.
Well, not a member of the military.
I respect what they have done for our country, mostly.
Thanks for...
Yeah, I don't have any...
Now, what was interesting is we talked about specifically on the show, don't go up to service personnel and say thank you for your courage.
This is about remembering the fallen dead who died during wars.
And everybody got this wrong!
Google!
Their little doodle on the front was all about, you know, saluting servicemen and women.
It's egregious.
That is egregious.
If anything, you'd have a picture of Arlington Cemetery or something.
That would be more appropriate.
No, no.
Then every news spokeshole and news model was, oh, we want to thank everyone for their service.
Think about our servicemen and women today.
No, that's not what that's about.
Wrong.
Annoying.
Were there any jingles or anything for...
He's got no requests, but give him a karma.
Karma, of course.
Karma, absolutely.
You've got karma.
And then I have an emergency request from Sir J.D. Adam and John did make the producer cut off for today's show, but hoping to cash in a little baron of Silicon Valley peerage points.
Now, whenever a knight or a baron or a duke or anything has a request, we stop the show.
Can I please get a quote, quote-unquote, Finding a good surgeon that your insurance will pay for health karma in today's show from my wife, Jean.
After a middle-of-the-night emergency room trip and lining up a good doctor for the surgery, we're back to, quote, dialing for doctors after we thought everything was set up for the urgent follow-on procedure.
Actually, your insurance doesn't cover that guy.
Loving that new health care for all system in Gitmo, America.
Value for value on its way for Sunday show.
Thank you for your courage.
Of course we're going to do that for you.
Of course.
Health karma for Gene.
You've got karma.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Let us know how everything is.
Okay.
I want to remind people we do have another show coming up shortly.
We do.
Newark.org slash NA is the place to go to help support this operation.
Yes, and thank you to our executive producer.
Producer?
We had one, right?
No, two.
Producers and associate executive producers.
Real credits, just the way Hollywood works, with the difference being that we don't have any actresses or anything for you to bang.
But you can use these credits anywhere.
We wish.
Hey, you can always be helping us out.
Simple thing, just go out there, propagate our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
No service for you!
Shut up, Ray!
Shut up, Ray!
So when I started the computer for the show, it brings up the MSN News, and there's a story that cropped right up immediately, which I have to mention because it's one of our thematic things.
And the headline is, it's from The Hill, Doubts Creep Into Trump-Clinton Polls.
Oh, no.
Listen to this.
This is hilarious.
And this obviously comes from the pollsters.
Doubts are creeping in among opinion pollsters over how accurately they'll be able to predict a presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
This sounds like Nate Silver from FiveThirtyEight who's backtracking on all his horrible predictions.
The two prospective nominees high unfavorable ratings and their fame means pollster are facing one of their...
Wait, now I want you to give me the logic of this.
Okay.
The two prospective nominees' high unfavorable ratings and their fame means pollsters are facing one of their most difficult tasks in conducting polls that correctly model who will vote in November's election.
Why?
Why?
I don't know.
Why?
I don't know.
Many people are likely to come to the polls this fall to vote against the candidate they dislike as to vote for the candidate they support, something that makes polling difficult.
Really?
Why does that make polling difficult?
I'll tell you what this is.
This whole article is about pre-excusing the screw-ups that will come during this season because the polling is bullcrap.
Well, hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
No, no.
I disagree.
It's pre-excusing themselves a form of moral self-licensing.
It's pre-excusing themselves for the fraud they are going to commit.
That's what it is.
Well, that's kind of what I'm saying.
That's different.
No, because we just got through the media soul-searching.
How could we have not seen Trump coming?
Oh, we didn't do our job.
We didn't ask tough questions.
And now they said, you know, screw it.
We're just punting on this.
Because the whole past three days was just Trump University, Donald Trump's not rich, Donald Trump's a fraud, he's a freaking fraud.
So they're apologizing for the non-news they are once again about to spew onto us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what it is.
That's what's going to happen.
Yeah.
It's nuts.
I have good news, though.
Okay.
Saturday, June 4th.
And I am going, and Tina is going to film.
She's going to film?
Yes, she's going to film the following.
The 9th Annual Austin Bug-Eating Festival.
9th?
I know!
That's what I said!
9th!
We better get in before the anniversary.
And I will...
9th annual Austin Bug Eating Festival.
Yes, sir.
Wow.
Yep.
Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m.
And we're going and I will...
Is this a competition where you gotta eat so many bugs and then you win if you eat more cockroaches than the next guy?
No, I think it's just a promotion.
For what?
For the future.
Cricket flower.
Our future.
I can't wait.
I need to try this.
I need to report back.
Surely you've...
I'm taking one for the team.
Come on, can I get a little encouragement here?
Yeah, I hope I'm glad you're going.
Are you going to eat?
Of course I'm going to eat bugs.
Box!
Of course I'm going to eat him.
Of course.
Really?
Yes, and I'll report back on Sunday show.
On the topic of local stuff going on, Austin, you had a dinner recently.
Yeah, I wish I could say it was a full-on O-Bot dinner.
Yeah?
Pleasant?
No, it was quite pleasant, I have to say.
Oh.
Yeah, I know.
It was the artist and her husband and Tina and myself.
But we went to fix.
So it was also not a home-cooked meal.
So the setting wasn't right.
Yeah, that was just a dinner.
No, that was right.
But I will say that the belief by the O-Bot...
That artificial intelligence is not only going to save our lives, but is around the corner, is pretty unbelievable.
How'd that get there?
That's her new thing.
You know, there's a, you know, this futurist thing.
Anybody that works in technology and serious and actually takes it seriously knows this is a crock of crap.
Yeah, well, I'm just a Nazi about the definition, you know, artificial intelligence.
In fact, I have a new term.
There's no such thing as AI, only API. I think we coined that on the last show.
And that's the difference.
Alright, well, I'm disappointed.
So am I, John.
So am I. I have to say, it was a very enjoyable evening.
We just had a good time.
No?
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
You should never ask.
I'll set it up if I got something.
Ah, no, no.
Sometimes you forget.
You forget things.
Let's go to this.
Hold on.
What do you mean I forget things?
Stop.
Stop the show.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop the show.
All right.
I got to talk about this now.
Okay.
Talk.
All right.
For about six weeks, I've been receiving emails, noticed myself, and I've heard from other people in my surrounding concern that you are forgetting things.
And I brought this up after the show.
On Thursday.
And it's horrible to have to say to someone, hey man, you're getting kind of forgetful of what's going on.
In fact, I thought to myself, well, I can just tell, ask him, and he won't remember anyway, so it's not a problem.
But I said, what's been going on?
This is the past six weeks.
I'm afraid that the B12 is actually working, is doing harm.
To which you replied...
I haven't been taking it for the last six weeks.
Exactly!
So, I think it's proof.
Did you find it?
Did you go back and find your bottle?
No.
I'll find it.
I know where it is.
I've sent you a bottle now through Amazon.
You need to be taking this.
No.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, as soon as it comes, I'll take four.
Now, I don't think that you have Alzheimer's, but, you know, it was noticeable.
Well, thanks.
We love you, and we love the B12. It clearly works.
Yeah, I think it does work.
Let's see.
Well, It is time to...
Well, I got an entrement I was going to play before you rudely interrupted me with this commentary.
I didn't rudely interrupt you.
I want to play this little thing.
This is, I think, an indictment of society.
But nobody played it that way.
Everybody played it soft.
Oh, this is so funny.
This is so funny.
Oh, and maybe the little kid should become a cop because he's on top of things.
This is the clip little boy Fink calls 911 on dad.
Finding tonight here, the little boy who might have a future in law enforcement.
He called 911 about a driver who ran a red light.
His dad.
Here's Clayton Sandell.
This is a story of family betrayal.
911, what is that?
What's your emergency?
Um, daddy went past a red light.
Yeah?
That is six-year-old Robbie Richardson of Quincy, Massachusetts, calling police to rat out his own dad, a traffic scufflaw.
And don't he just...
And he had to go to the car wash, and then he went past the red light.
He did?
Mm-hmm.
Is he home right now?
Yeah.
Can I talk to him?
Yeah.
Hello?
Hi.
Who's the police?
Oh, no.
I'm just going to apologize.
That's my phone.
Just want to let us know you ran a red light.
Oh, no.
I apologize.
No problem.
The investigation completes.
The cops decide to let Robbie's dad off the hook.
Clearly, Robbie's parents taught him well.
Maybe a little too well.
Clayton Sandell, ABC News.
Oh, this is fine.
You know what's next.
You know what's coming.
My parents are hurting the earth.
They're only making global warming happen.
They're leaving all the lights on.
They leave the air conditioner on.
Report.
Then we'll have special numbers you can call and report to your parents.
I like the idea, yeah.
Yeah, we'll have special numbers.
How this kid learned at the age of six to call 911.
Now, by the way, the real problem is he's going to call 911 constantly.
Unless he gets, you know, punched out by the dad.
Lots of kids are going to do that now.
And they'll be reporting all kinds of interesting things.
Hello?
My daddy's kissing some other lady.
Exactly.
Oops.
That's where the end of this goes.
None of this is good.
I just found this to be distressing.
And I brought it up a few, I don't know, maybe three or four shows ago.
I mentioned how when you go through airport security, you always tell the kids not to say anything because of this sort of thing.
Yeah, you got to shut up.
Just shut up.
Is it okay for my daddy to have a bunch of art prints that aren't antiques?
He's got them in the suitcase.
Well, there's good news for parents with children like this.
We now have the FDA approving candy-flavored amphetamines for kids.
So their ADHD medication comes in the form of a gummy bear.
And this has been approved.
This has been approved by the FDA. Ah, yes.
That's our FDA. They're just doing, they're looking out for number one.
Them.
Themselves.
And their buddies in the pharmaceutical industry.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
That's creepy though, man.
Yeah, I thought it was the creepiest clip I have.
Yeah.
Well, let's talk about, let's do a little, oh, yes.
Huh.
Okay, here's something.
Now, we know that the Democratic Party, the elites inside the Democratic Party, they will take Hillary Clinton's brain in a jar in the Oval Office.
That's all they want, ultimately.
And I was listening to a couple of clips.
I'm going to play the first one.
And, well, yeah, I'll explain it after I play this first one.
This is Clinton, and she's answering some questions.
Oh, yes, this is about the FBI contacting her, because now, of course, we've had all kinds of...
Oh, yeah, she's good at this.
Well, she used a little word trick.
And so I need to ask you, if you have been contacted by the FBI about an interview regarding the email situation?
No, we do not have an interview scheduled.
Oops, oops, yeah.
The question was, have you been contacted by the FBI? And she's so beautiful.
Instead of saying, no, we have not been contacted by the FBI, she has, but the interview is not scheduled yet, so then you can say, no, we do not have an interview scheduled yet.
Oh, that was very good.
Oh, she's dynamite at it, but she's also a robot, and I'm going to have to prove that to you in a moment.
I have an interview scheduled, and I just want to say a word about the recent report.
You know, actually, the report makes clear that personal email use was a practice under other secretaries of state, and the rules were not clarified until after I had left.
But as I've said many times, Chris, it was still a mistake.
If I could go back, I would do it differently.
And I understand people who have concerns about it, but I hope voters look at the full picture of everything I've done in my career, and actually the full threat posed by a Donald Trump presidency, because if they do, I have faith in the American people that they will make the right choice here.
Okay, so that is Hillary Clinton in under one minute taking a question about being contacted by the FBI, lying about it, or not really lying, just futzing her way out of it, and then spinning it into Donald Trump is evil and you gotta vote for me.
She did two calls.
Here's the second one, and this is where I started to catch on to the cadence which you've alerted us to many, many times.
USA Today called this, quote, a threat to national security, one that she repeatedly ignored despite multiple warnings, and they added that you are now, quote, going to have to convince voters that she can put the national security of the United States above her own short-term self-interest.
Do you see this as a challenge that you have to face to convince voters you'll put national security ahead of your own interests?
Well, I think that is obvious.
I always have.
And the report, just to go back to the actual report, makes it clear that personal email use was the practice under other secretaries of state, and that the rules that they are now referencing were not clarified until after I had left.
But look, I've said many times it was still a mistake, and if I could go back, I would do it differently.
And I understand people may have concerns about this, but I hope voters look at the full picture of everything I've done in my career and the full threat posed by a Donald Trump presidency.
And if they do, I have faith in the American people that they will make the right choice here.
Okay, so besides the obvious lying, which we'll get into in a moment, with Judge Andrew Napolitano, when I heard this, and she only made two calls, one to MSNBC, I think, and one to CNN, and I heard the pitch into voting for her, be careful about Donald Trump, and I thought, my God, this woman is a robot.
It is exactly the same.
Word for word.
And so I put them together.
The recent report, you know, actually the report makes clear that personal email use was the practice under other secretaries of state and that the rules were not clarified until after I had left.
But as I said many times, Chris, if I could go back, I would do it differently.
And I understand people who have turned about it, but I hope voters look at the full picture of everything I've done in my career, and actually the full threat posed by a Donald Trump presidency, because if they do, I have faith in the American people that they will make the right choice here.
And that was just laid next to each other.
This is the 10th pointer for the day.
How good is that, huh?
That was dynamite.
Especially the last bit.
I'd give you a clip of the day, but it's not really a clip of an analysis.
Listen to the last end again.
I am a robot.
I am a robot.
That's dynamite.
Did you hear how it shifted?
It went back and forth, but it was pretty much exactly the same?
Yeah, and then it just nailed it.
It just converged.
It kind of drifted, and then it came right back together.
It converged, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm glad you like that.
I whipped out my Pro Tools last night.
Like, holy crap.
You actually put some work into it and you produced it.
I gotta...
What can I say?
I'm surprised some of these big boys didn't do that work.
Oh, please.
Oh, please.
All right, here's Judge Napolitano with the real deal.
It really helped.
It was going from the Cheryl Mills testimony that she gave a couple of days ago, right?
That was put forward a couple of days ago, where she arrived with seven lawyers to make sure she didn't say anything that would cause...
Well, they wouldn't let her answer half the time.
The questions that were put to her, and the questions they wouldn't let her answer had to do with Brian Pagliano, the guy that got immunity, who is Hillary's nightmare, who's cooperating with the FBI. But what she did say is that Mrs.
Clinton used exclusively her Blackberry.
She didn't have a laptop.
She didn't have a desktop.
She didn't have a tablet.
She just used the Blackberry.
Her Blackberry, not a government-issued Blackberry.
Because it was not government-issued, it was blocked on the seventh floor of the State Department, where her office is.
What does that mean?
That means that when she was in her office, she did not have the means to communicate electronically to her people all around the world for the entire time she was there.
How did she do it?
Take a security team, go from the seventh floor to the sixth floor where her black Wow.
19th century technology.
Read the document to me.
Read it aloud.
So when people are saying she was incompetent as a secretary of state...
They're absolutely correct and right on the mark because of this alone.
She has ambassadors all around the world trying to communicate with her, and she's cut herself off.
All right, here are the four big things that you wanted us to go through that stood out with you because you did the hard work of reading all those pages.
Hillary's emails got this.
Only used her private server, period.
Never used her private server.
Correct.
100% of our emails were taken away from the government server and run through the private.
The emails read on a BlackBerry.
You just went over that.
Right.
The BlackBerry inoperable in the State Department office.
You went through that.
Emails not available for the freedom of information.
That is very, very interesting, that last one, Brian, because she said many times, Mrs.
Clinton, in our press conferences, a few that she's given, that don't worry about it because everything was stored and it's searchable.
All of my emails.
Cheryl Mills revealed in the deposition earlier this week it was not searchable, that they couldn't find this stuff because it had gone through Mrs.
Clinton's private server.
What does this mean?
All of this means that she frustrated the ordinary operations of the State Department, which she was in charge of, because she was terrified of the president, the rest of the State Department, the media, and the public knowing what she was doing.
I've been watching this sparring going on, and Hillary Clinton has called into two shows like Donald Trump has all the last two days.
In fact, no, I don't think so.
Judge, she says this.
Colin Powell did the same thing, and they didn't really firm up these policies and procedures until after she left.
That argument is directly rejected by the inspector general of the State Department, whose report came out a week ago today.
Secretary Powell, you answered government emails from his private account a half dozen times, never involving state secrets, and he didn't use a private server, and he's not running to be President of the United States.
And just an important point, I think, to point out.
Do you know who also, besides the investigation that's going on here, do you know who also has to be ticked off at some level?
Barack Obama.
Yes.
Because his Secretary of State was offline doing her own thing, You're exactly right.
It is crystal clear that the motivation for all of this was her incredible desire to avoid the Freedom of Information Act, to keep from the president, the rest of the State Department, and the public what she was doing as Secretary of State, which is a violation of the law.
There you go.
There you go.
Yeah, she was shaking down companies to get them to cough up money to push over to the Clinton Foundation.
Hell yeah.
She was shaking down people left and right.
That's why she took so long to declare for the presidency.
Because after she did that, then she was going to be under some scrutiny.
She couldn't do the shakedown anymore.
Exactly.
Look, I'm going to be president.
I want some money.
Yeah.
I want it in my...
And this is not a brand new idea or a concept.
They had during the...
One of the...
Who was it?
Was the vice president...
That Greek guy.
Yeah, Dukakis.
Dukakis.
No, no, no.
The guy who was actually the vice president, he got kicked out of office under Nixon.
Spiro Agnew.
Yeah, Spiro Agnew was the vice president, and he was taking cash bribes in his office from various corporations.
What's the problem?
He's come in with a bag of money.
What's the problem?
I don't understand the issue.
It's how it's always worked.
I like the bag of cash.
Nix apparently had a briefcase with a million dollars in it at one point.
No, these guys are all corrupt, but she's outrageous.
Yeah, and it also explains why she couldn't do anything when Benghazi was hitting because she was not in communication.
Yeah, there's a fact.
Let's listen to this clip.
This is from The Intercept.
This is the guy.
You mean this is the $250 million WordPress blog from Pierre Omniadar DriveMyCar?
It's got good stuff in it now.
Okay.
Don't kid yourself.
I wouldn't.
This is what's going on with Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Right.
There's been a lot of controversy about the leadership of Debbie Wasserman Schultz over the Democratic National Committee.
One kind of contrast here is that just as Obama pushed to reform the DNC, and when he became the nominee in 2008, he implemented We're good to go.
We convened a meeting with a number of lobbyists and reportedly handed out a menu of options saying that, you know, if you give varying amounts of money, lobbyists can win certain types of influence at the convention.
So the role of money in politics, which has been a big campaign theme in the presidential primaries, we're seeing that now come into focus with this tension between Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Bernie Sanders campaign.
And they haven't kicked her out yet?
They're working on it.
But I can just imagine her bringing all these lobbyists in.
And you do the same thing you do at these trade shows and conventions.
You have a man who said, you want to be a gold platinum sponsor.
You get this, this, this, and this, and this.
And you get a banner, and you get this and that.
And you want to be a silver.
And you get a speaking slot.
Yeah, and then you get a couple of speaking slots.
Slots.
And the whole thing is just massively corrupt.
And of course, you know, this is a Hillary.
So, okay.
And Debbie Wasserman Schultz should have been drummed out by now.
I'm surprised that she's still in.
There's strife.
Strife.
And it's coming to a head.
I listen to the Sirius 127 Progressive channel.
The Hillary versus Bernie civil war inside the Democratic Party is harsh.
It's really getting pretty crazy.
This is kind of interesting.
I caught this on MSNBC. You'll like this.
This is about the love of Bernie.
He seemed far more open to this than most.
He's a realist.
He understands what the numbers are.
He knows what's going on.
On the other hand...
It's very hard to describe, unless you're there, what it's like day after day after day to go to these events.
There's thousands of people screaming.
It's just massive.
If people had said to me six months ago that I would see 22-year-old women in tears after meeting a candidate, I would have said Hillary Clinton, right?
The possibility of the first woman president has so overwhelmed them and moved them.
No.
I saw a young woman who...
I thought, honestly, it was going to pass out and she was crying and saying, I touched Bernie Sanders.
So this is, you talk about a movement, it's like Paul McCartney in 1964 when he walks out there.
MSNBC, the cultural reference, 51 years ago, doesn't cut it anymore.
And I don't...
Paul McCartney, anyway, it'd be the Beatles.
They were all getting that attention.
Yeah, why not just say Justin Bieber, you know?
Yeah, Justin Bieber would make more sense.
Yeah, or Bianchi, anything.
50 years ago.
Anything but that.
What's happening?
I had to look it up.
I said, yeah, 64 was the height of the British invasion.
But, no, come on.
It's like Paul McCartney in 1964.
Yeah, and you're right.
It would have been the Beatles.
But maybe it's not Paul McCartney.
And by the way, that wasn't even the original guy at the time.
He was already dead then.
When he walks out there.
And I don't know how...
He was dead later.
No, I think it happened before they came to the States.
No, it was...
No, no.
Come on, man.
Don't ruin my Mandela effect.
You talk about a movement.
It's like Paul McCartney in 1964 when he walks out there.
And I don't know how you walk away from that.
Maybe that's why she only mentioned Paul McCartney.
I'm sorry?
That's why she only mentioned...
Oh, because he's only...
A wink, a wink, nudge, nudge to guys like you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That, by the way, is not the real Bernie Sanders.
You can tell.
When his wife Jane was walking bare feet, that was a signal.
Movement?
It's like Paul McCartney in 1964 when he walks out there.
And I don't know how you walk away from that.
He's not ready to walk away from that, and he doesn't think he has to.
His supporters don't think he has to.
They know the numbers, too.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I have a couple back-to-back clips that kind of play into it.
Can I mention one thing about your clips?
You're doing something different with your clipping, and you're leaving about 75, you know,.75 seconds of white space, and then there's a little warble in it.
All your clips start that way.
That's new.
Are you clipping differently?
No.
Hmm.
Well, tighten it up, will you?
I don't know.
It could be the...
I had a funny issue with my recorder that might have something to do with it.
Yeah, tighten up them clips, man.
Tighten your shit up, bro.
Broseph.
So let's play these two clips back to back.
Let's play one and then talk to the other one.
This is the clip.
People out there, oh, you know, Obama, global warming, we got to do this, we got to do that.
Everybody's all upset about these horrible Republicans, how they're going to wreck everything.
But let's play fracking in California for starters.
Okay.
On Sunday, Sanders visited the original Delano headquarters of the United Farm Workers Union where he reiterated his call for a national ban on fracking when asked what he would do about poor water quality in San Joaquin Valley.
This comes as environmental groups are criticizing the Obama administration after two federal agencies finalized reports claiming fracking off the coast of California would pose no significant risk to the environment.
The announcement of the reports by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement ends a court-ordered moratorium on offshore fracking, which was put into place earlier this year after the Center for Biological Diversity challenged the administration's practice of rubber-stamping offshore drilling without an environmental review.
My name is Aby Goodman.
I am a drone.
I am just reading whatever I have to read that the president said I have to read.
Well, besides that.
So then we got the Obama administration pushing fracking and then pushing it off the coast of California.
Now, we know fracking causes these earthquakes.
Yes.
The last place you want to cause earthquakes is off the coast of California.
So why do you want to trigger a massive...
This is not a little earthquake zone like Oklahoma.
You know you have a drill coming up, don't you?
The 7th of June, there's a drill.
Yeah, I think on the West Coast, an earthquake drill, big, large-scale drill.
Yeah?
Just letting you know, it's coming up.
7th?
The 7th, yeah.
That's the day, that's the voting day.
That'll be perfect.
Interesting.
That's how I do it.
So as we go on with these great environmentalists like Obama and Hillary, let's play the Hillary and fracking clip.
This is interesting.
Lee, very quickly, you also recently co-wrote a piece about Hillary Clinton and fracking based on State Department emails obtained by The Intercept, the email showing how the State Department work closely with oil and gas companies and work with other nations to secure investments for fracking projects.
Was this while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State?
Yeah, we conducted a FOIA. I worked with another reporter named Steve Horn, and we received dozens of new emails showing a new layer of how aggressive this initiative was, that Hillary Clinton not just traveled the world to promote fracking.
According to these emails, her aides discussed using Poland as a laboratory Show that fracking can be successful in Europe.
And then to take that model and spread fracking all across both Eastern and Western Europe, we're seeing a lot of opposition to fracking.
The emails also show a very close bond with industry that Hillary Clinton's aides work closely with large fossil fuel companies to pressure foreign governments around the world to adopt American-style fracking.
That doesn't get reported much.
No.
No.
Well, I was buried.
That's totally buried.
Nobody wants to bring any of this stuff up.
This woman is a corrupt being.
Now, of course, we end up with Trump.
You're going to end up...
There's some...
Wait, wait, wait.
Let me just stick on this for a second.
The president was out there doing his own little Agenda 2030 climate change bit.
And we've already been through the 127 months of no hurricanes straight.
And by the way, yeah, you don't have to send me the Wikipedia page.
Those are hurricanes that never hit land as a hurricane.
What's your source?
No, nothing ever hit land.
It's 127 months.
And of course, as we heard from the, what was it?
It was NOAA. We are expecting, what was it?
I think eight major storms, hurricanes this season, which of course starts today.
And it's all because of global cooling now.
So the oceans are cooling, despite them saying the oceans are warming.
Very confusing, but here's the president pile-jumping.
Well, my most important responsibility as president of the United States is to keep our people safe.
Damn it!
No!
No!
You pled your oath to defend and uphold the Constitution.
Well...
My most important responsibility as President of the United States is to keep our people safe.
And that's why I just met with key members of my Homeland Security team, including our FEMA Director, Craig Fugate, here at FEMA's National Response Coordination Center.
And Craig and his team gave us updates on preparations for the 2016 hurricane season, which starts tomorrow.
All of us have seen the heartbreak, the damage, and in some cases the loss of life that hurricanes can cause.
And as climate continues to change, hurricanes are only going to become more powerful and more devastating.
Yeah, he might as well say anything he wants because he'll be gone.
No one will remember.
More powerful and more devastating.
This is what they said 10 years ago.
And it hasn't happened in 10 years.
I don't know what to tell you.
But he will keep us safe.
It's an easy call to make.
I'll keep you safe.
Nothing happens.
No, I'll keep you safe from hurricanes.
Okay, thanks, Obama.
And then no hurricanes.
I'm not wishing for hurricanes.
No, nobody likes hurricanes.
We have friends in Florida.
We sure do.
And that's where they always end up.
So there was a big, another one of the, and this is probably leading to what you have, this Vets Against Trump.
Did you look at any of this?
No.
So two things, I noticed two things.
One, and this was actually a face bag post from the head mofo in charge.
He, of course, is a knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
The head mofo in charge posted something on the face bag, which did give me pause.
Two pictures.
One is of Trump protesters.
One is of Trump supporters.
What is the main difference in the photo?
One's more white and the other one's more ethnic.
No.
Okay.
Let me guess again.
One of them have printed t-shirts and one of them...
Oh, I get it.
One of them has all the same signage.
No, no, no, no, no.
Alright, I give up.
Trump supporters?
American flags.
Everywhere.
Trump protesters, Mexican flags, Canadian flags, all kinds of other flags.
I mean, this makes you think.
This also makes me think that this really seems like some sort of planned, dirty trick, a false flag.
Yeah, I do.
Yes, I do have another one.
I do have another one.
So we had a lot of, like a group of veterans coming out.
Led by one guy.
One guy.
I saw this guy.
Yeah, Perry O'Brien.
Here he is.
Thank you to both of you for your support.
With Don Lemon.
And of course, Don Lemon, this happens on Veterans Day.
What is he going to say?
Thank you for your service.
Douchebag!
Well, let me just douche him for a second.
Douchebag!
Wrong.
Thank you to both of you for your service.
I really do appreciate it.
Oh, that's keeping you safe, Don.
I want to get your response to Donald Trump's press conference today and his donations to veterans.
You first, Barry.
Sure.
Well, I was there, as you mentioned, as part of the Vets vs.
Hate movement.
We were there for the second time.
So they show the hashtag...
Vets versus hate.
Hashtag vets against Trump.
Two hashtags.
Let me just get his exact wording here.
As you mentioned, it's part of the vets versus hate movement.
Vets versus hate movement.
We'll come back to that.
We're there for the second time in a week in front of Trump Tower trying to hold Donald Trump accountable for his attempt to defraud the veteran community.
And we are trying to call attention to his ongoing use of veterans as political props to support an agenda of bigotry and hate.
Okay, so how this happened is, all of a sudden, this movement started saying, hey, where's the six million dollars?
You lie!
You fraud!
You using vets as props!
And Trump was mad.
You probably saw that.
Comes down, reads the amounts who it came from.
Granted, it's not 6 million, but it's 5.6.
And there's a lot of things that he could have done better, as always.
And it's possible he didn't have anything doled out yet.
All of that's possible.
But let's look at this Perry O'Brien guy.
He is with the Veterans Progressive Leadership Institute.
Follow me down the rabbit hole.
Which in turn is connected to Beyond the Choir.
Beyond the Choir.
Now they appear to only have a face bag group.
Um...
I hear it.
I'm reading from Beyond the Choir partners with social justice organizations to craft resonant messaging, plan strategic campaigns, and mobilize larger bases of support.
Our name captures the core of our mission.
In order to build movements capable of winning real change, we need to do more than just preach to the choir.
The director of Beyond the Choir is Jonathan Matthew Smucker.
He has a book coming out entitled Hegemony How-To, A Roadmap for Radicals.
And he is part of the Wildfire Project and the Center for Story-Based Strategy.
I guess I don't have to tell you who's funding all of these, do I? Soros.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Direct connections.
And it's not hard to find out.
In fact, this is everywhere on the internet now.
On the internet.
So it's just more organized protest.
And Don Lemon's putting these people on TV without even saying, hey, where are you from?
What is that movement?
Who's a part of the movement?
Why would CNN ask a question like that?
Right.
They're all in!
Of course.
Of course.
Well, from this little event...
That's good, by the way.
From this little event, there was a press conference with Trump going nuts about this.
And the little comment that is made in this report...
This is Amy Goodman again.
Everyone said, well, there's a string of good stuff.
This is how would Trump hold a news conference...
He calls out Yamas from ABC. And in fact, let's listen to the last report.
I got a Tom Yamas report here.
This is a Tom Yamas in California.
This is the last thing he did on ABC. And I think this was after Trump called him out as a sleazeball, but let's just listen to Yamas and then we'll play the sleazeball clip, which is funny.
Tom Yamas with us live from California tonight.
Tom, Trump University isn't the only concern for Donald Trump tonight.
He's also learned that the PGA Tour is moving the World Golf Championship from Trump's Miami resort to Mexico now.
LAUGHTER David, for months, Trump has railed against American companies leaving the U.S. for Mexico, and tonight he's feeling it personally.
The PGA says this had nothing to do with politics.
It's because they could not secure a sponsor at the Trump resort.
Tonight, Trump calling this sad day for Miami, the U.S., and the game of golf, and saying, quote, on Mexico City, I hope they have kidnapping insurance.
Tom Yamas live in California.
Tom, thank you.
Yeah, no one wanted to put their name at a Trump hotel anymore.
They're all afraid.
Yeah.
Yeah, wow.
That sucks.
That's bad.
Whatever.
Let's listen to Trump going off on Yamas, who happened to be at this press conference.
And I guess he was calling him out on one of his reports probably about Trump University or perhaps the veterans thing.
At a news conference Tuesday, Trump lambasted the media, calling CNN's Jim Acosta quote a real beauty, and ABC News reporter Tom Yanis a sleaze.
I'm not looking for credit, but what I don't want is when I raise millions of dollars, have people say, like this sleazy guy right over here from ABC. Hold on a second.
Did she say lambasted?
Yeah.
Isn't it lambasted?
I always say lamb basted.
Hmm.
I think you might be able to pronounce it both ways.
Okay.
Say, like, this sleazy guy right over here from ABC. He's a sleaze in my book.
You're a sleaze because you know the facts, and you know the facts well.
When a reporter asked if this is how Trump would conduct a White House news conference if elected president, he said, quote, yes, it is.
Now, that's a benefit.
Yes, finally.
How good would that be?
It would be hilarious.
Oh, it's interesting you say that because when I, of course, I heard this and I thought to myself, wow, yeah, he could probably do that.
But I don't think he could do it every day.
But yeah, why wouldn't he just come out and just say, here's what I'm doing.
Man, that would remove a layer of bull crap.
Wouldn't it?
Well, it definitely wouldn't need a binder.
No, I think that would be fantastic.
That would be a big plus.
A big plus.
But of course, what's happening is everyone's in the media particularly, they're in irons.
They are in irons.
They don't know what to do.
And not just the media, the elites that run them and try and pretty much successfully control it.
It's like the curtain's falling away.
We see the man behind the curtain.
We see the elites who rig the primaries.
We see where the power structures are.
And then you get a guy like Bill Kristol who is running around saying, we're going to have a...
A viable writing candidate or third party independent.
He's deluded.
Yes, this is delusional behavior.
There's a lot of delusional behavior going on.
The media brought this on themselves.
They did it by, for one thing, the network news shows.
They've never even stopped doing it.
It just continues.
They've never even attempted to free themselves from the chains of the drug companies.
Yeah.
Which means they also couldn't, they can't get a younger demographic.
They never diversify.
There's so much money to be made from these drug companies, and of course you don't want to report on any of this bull crap that the pharmaceuticals are pulling on the American public by jacking up the prices and just scamming the whole insurance system.
Of course, with the help of the insurance system, the whole thing is ridiculous.
So they have put themselves in a horrible position.
Nobody believes half the stuff they say anymore.
In fact, everything is so segmented now because it causes divisiveness all over the place.
The people who are supporting Trump, they don't...
They're low-information voters, which is one of the scams.
Low education.
A lot of them are very educated.
What they see is that this is all bullcrap, so you can throw all this and everything you can at Trump, and most people won't believe it anyway, and they don't care.
No.
No, they don't.
They're just so troubled.
It's at the point where you're at a college and the whole system is so corrupt that you vote in a dog as the student body president.
How about the guy with the Vermin Supreme with the boot on his hat?
I'm still looking at him.
Yeah.
There's a huge rejection, and if you look at what people respect the most, the news media is at the bottom of the list.
Yes, they have worse ratings than the president.
And they don't even...
Well, the president says he's got 51% currently, but...
Congress.
Right.
But they don't even understand that they've created this for themselves and they can't seem to...
Oh, it's worse.
It's worse than that.
You know, one of the things I always like to say was when blogging and all this stuff began and all this, these, these changes in the media landscape, people, newspapers going on business, magazines were folding, all this stuff was happening.
I always like to say that here's the newspaper industry, which is having nothing but trouble ever since Craigslist pretty much brought them to their knees.
Here's a group of people that are supposed to be giving us the news, giving us some analysis, giving us the news.
is giving us some insight they couldn't even insight themselves no to see what they were what was happening to them that's how bad they've gotten yeah and so now this is a big shock to them well um but i had a interesting email conversation with the crisis uh the crisis manager who i met and the guy from dc yeah who's friends with gary johnson
And then after seeing the most recent Gary Johnson clips from the Libertarian Convention, first of all, I think it's sad that he joined a...
Whoa, are you okay?
What?
Oh, did you hit your mic or what happened?
Oh no, it was a piece of paper.
I guess it nicked the mic.
I'm sad to see that he joined a party because I don't vote for people who are in parties because it's just parties.
Assholes.
And by the way, from one of our producers, Sir Skitzbox sent me a long report.
A lot of hookers at that convention.
Maybe just so they see that you see the guy was stripped down.
Yeah, he saw it too.
No, I said it was a lot of weed smoking going on in the corner, including Gary Johnson.
That's okay.
It was fine.
I got nothing against that.
But it seemed a little disorganized.
Yeah, it's a joke.
Yeah, and so the email I had with my buddy there, the crisis manager, we'll just call him Dan to make it easy.
I said, this is your boy.
What the hell is he doing?
You obviously, as we just heard, take issue with Trump's immigration policies.
Your running mate, Bill Weld, has compared Trump's deportation plan to Nazi's policies against Jews.
Do you agree with that?
I do.
You know, coming from New Mexico, a border state, what he's saying is just incendiary.
New Mexico is one of the four minority-majority states.
Fifty percent of the population of New Mexico is Hispanic.
So what does that mean when we're going to deport 11 million illegal immigrants?
Well, arguably, half the state of New Mexico is going to be subject to door knocking and house searches and paper checking.
And you see it as inherently racist?
I do.
I think that, first of all, he calls them murderers and rapists.
Look, statistically, they commit far less crime than U.S. citizens.
They're the cream of the crop when it comes to workers.
They're not taking jobs that U.S. citizens want.
We should make it as easy as possible for somebody that wants to come into this country to work to be able to get a work visa, and a work visa should entail a background check Okay, so a couple things.
First of all, there's your great green hope, the Gary Johnson being a, I don't know, this is not a winning campaign idea to go after Trump as a libertarian candidate.
This is not the right idea.
In fact, Dan wrote me back and said, several of us wish we could get inside his body.
Because he's doing everything wrong.
Everything he's doing is wrong, as witnessed by the clip from the convention itself.
Last night in the debate, you said you didn't want to comment on Trump, but then you went on to list a number of things about his policies that you think are just wrong.
What can we expect from you in terms of taking him on?
Well, taking him on on the fact that he wants to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, taking him on on wanting to build a fence across the border, that's nuts.
Taking him on when he says that Mexicans are murderers and rapists?
I mean, it's incendiary as a border state governor.
It's incendiary to 50% of the population of New Mexico that he's talking about Hispanics, Mexicans in this way, when the absolute opposite is true.
Is that going to be a pretty good strategy?
Absolutely!
Call him out on what is really racist.
It's just racist.
Racist!
I tell you, racist!
All right, Gary Johnson.
Good work.
That's not the way to do it.
No, I mean, he's spending a lot of time defending New Mexico.
Let me show you how you do it.
You want to discredit your opponent?
Then follow John McCain's lead.
Oh, yeah.
John McCain is up for re-election, which is why he's very silent on Trump now, because, God forbid, here we are, Trump is probably partially in control of the money, certainly raising the money, which goes to re-election campaigns for the Republican Party senators and congressmen.
So if you want to get your opponent out of the way, here's how you do it.
We know Chemtrail Kelly Ward spent taxpayer dollars to entertain Chemtrail conspiracy theories.
I'd do it again.
Of course I would do it again.
But Ward's bad judgment keeps dangerous company.
A global plan to black out the sun.
I know all of this.
I know they're spraying my family.
Only aliens would want to do something like that.
Chemtrail Kelly Ward fuels the conspiracy using your tax dollars.
I'm open.
I introduce legislation all the time.
I'm willing to continue this conversation.
I'd do it again.
Of course I would do it again.
Kelly Ward, you're amazing.
I'm going to pray you get into the Senate.
Chemtrail Kelly.
Bad judgment.
Too dangerous for Arizona.
Chemtrails.
Okay, you get clip of the day for that fight.
Clip of the day.
Wow.
Ah, thank you.
And you know what?
I'm like, if I were in Arizona, I'd vote for Chemtrail Kelly.
Sounds like a winner.
And he did the follow the Trump plan that Scott Adams discussed, which is to give a nickname that sticks.
And it's a great nickname.
Chemtrail Kelly.
Alliteration.
Everything.
Everything's in there.
Everything.
I'm surprised these other idiots haven't come up with any way of adding some nickname to Trump.
Well, while you brought that up, since you have the seed guy in there, here's a story that kind of hit the news and then the UCLA thing bumped it.
And it's like, as if we want to get this story, this is the day before, I believe.
Uh-huh.
We want to get this story.
This is the Garza shooting.
Oh, Garza.
I got it misspelled.
I got a G. Yeah, I got it.
I got it.
So the Garza shooting took place, and this was a huge story.
Top of the news right at the beginning of the show with David Muir.
And this is a very interesting story, the way it rolls out.
And it's like, oh, that's interesting.
And let's play this.
Okay, I'm ready.
There are also major developments tonight after authorities say a young veteran went on a deadly shooting rampage in Houston.
Late today, police revealing that the young army sergeant fired more than 200 rounds, killing one person, wounding six others before being taken down by police.
And we're now hearing from the gunman's father and his stepmother.
ABC's Lindsay Davis on what the family says it saw and heard from their own son beforehand.
Tonight, police say it appears 25-year-old Dionisio Garza III, the young Army veteran they say was behind that deadly rampage, was in the throes of a mental health crisis.
His family indicated that he wasn't feeling right.
And he left to come here to hang out with his friends and try to find work here.
The shooting spree began Sunday at 10.15 a.m.
when the gunman shot and killed a customer at this auto shop, leaving the gas station in front in flames.
He fired 212 rounds, even taking aim at a police helicopter, hitting it several times.
Two officers were wounded, four others shot.
Investigators now say they blew up this bag left at the scene with bullets, earplugs and papers inside, including his military discharge papers and birth certificate.
Garza was honorably discharged from the Army two years ago.
His father, a missionary, tells a little...
Hey, if they blowed up the package with everything in it, how'd they know what was in it?
Apparently they didn't do a very good job of blowing it up.
Garza was honorably discharged from the army two years ago.
His father, a missionary, tells a local station that his son had PTSD and snapped.
He describes a downward spiral in recent weeks, saying his son was consumed with conspiracies that the dollar was collapsing and the world was about to end.
His stepmother tells us after two tours in Afghanistan, he was never the same.
I think he was haunted by everything that he saw there and he experienced there.
I think it changes you.
Police say he drove from California to Texas and arrived on Saturday.
He was killed by a sniper within one hour of the shooting.
David?
Lindsey Davis with us tonight.
Lindsey, thank you.
My God, for 25 years, they've been growing babies and cows!
There you go.
World's coming to an end.
The dollar is collapsing.
All the same bull crap you hear on these other shows.
Yeah.
We've never ever approached that sort of thing.
The world's not coming to an end.
The dollar is extremely strong, sadly.
The dollar's a little too strong.
Yeah, too strong.
It's not good for us.
I don't know.
I just found that the story was rolled out and then they just, I think the PTSD and all the rest of it, they ended up pulling the story and nobody talked about it since.
Well, there's a lot of things we don't talk about.
We still are almost totally silent about Flight 804.
Yeah, we got some pinks from the black box, but no live shots, nothing.
Barely even B-roll.
Well, actually, it's old, old B-roll inside the cockpit, you know, like a thousand feet.
But there's nothing else.
That's odd.
Yeah, that's very strange.
There's control of the news.
It's like there's some symphony conductor...
Bring it up, bring it up, bring it up.
Then we talk about the UCLA thing.
Let's do that.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
The UCLA thing.
No, I mean, it just seems like the news media is so ultra-controlled, it's ridiculous.
Here's a story, for example.
I don't know why we don't get this story at all.
This is a big deal story out of Europe.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, this is a huge story that I don't think has been reported on by anyone.
I could be wrong, because I've been watching NBC, but I know that I haven't seen it on any of the main shows when this came out, when it happened.
This is a good story, too.
This is the giant tunnel, which has a very interesting punchline, because this is a story that ran on Deutsche Welle.
So...
There's a giant, you know about the tunnel, right?
The giant tunnel.
Honestly, I remember reading a headline last night and thinking, ah, something to be looked at, but I didn't.
Tell me about the giant tunnel.
Well, here, just play Giant Tunnel Part 1.
The world's longest rail tunnel officially opened on Wednesday.
It is hoped that the trailblazing route under the Swiss Alps will cut travel times, road traffic, and pollution.
It cost 10 billion euros and took 17 years to build.
The Gotthard base tunnel runs between the German-speaking Swiss town of Ersfeld in central Switzerland and the Italian-speaking Bodio in the south.
At 57 kilometers, it is 7 kilometers longer than the channel tunnel that connects Britain with France and runs through the base of the Gotthard Mountain Range, avoiding steep slopes and allowing high-speed travel.
Freight trains will pass through the tunnel at up to 100 kilometers per hour.
Passenger trains, meanwhile, will eventually reach 250 kilometers an hour.
Besides being hailed as a historic engineering feat, the tunnel is also a symbol of European unity.
I remember this.
I was living in Holland at the time when they first started this.
I do remember this, yeah.
Astonishing work.
But how is it a feat of European unity?
It starts in Switzerland.
And ends in Switzerland.
Maybe it's because they forced all these countries.
No, they paid for it themselves.
They didn't use any bank money.
It's a banking country.
They're not even in the European Union.
They didn't use any European Union money.
They just paid for it.
They said, we're going to build this tunnel.
So they did.
It's a killer.
No, they used EU slave labor.
I think that's what they did.
Poles.
Oh, well, that's a possibility.
Now, play part two, because what it turns out, this is actually, if you'd listen between the lines in part two, there is a, when Merkel starts to speak, or talk, It turns out that this tunnel is a huge embarrassment to both Italy and Germany, because there was these huge promises made that they were going to put some high-speed action that would come into Switzerland and go through the tunnel down to Italy, and it was going to...
And now they didn't do anything.
They just sat on their asses.
And so they're all, oh, well, we were behind.
Very funny.
At the opening ceremony, dancers provided a hint of the hardships endured by workers on the Gotthard Bay.
Now, everything in Europe, every ceremony, it's always with dancers.
They like their dancers.
They do.
With streamers.
You know, they're like kids with streamers.
Always dancing.
I like that.
It's like a Cirque du Soleil.
Yes, it's so old school elite, you know.
Ah, I have a good idea.
They use dancers.
Tiny dancers.
By workers on the Gotthard Base Tunnel.
They burrowed for 17 years, over 2 kilometers below ground, in temperatures of up to 46 degrees centigrade.
Inaugurating the tunnel, Swiss President Johann Schneider Ammann honoured their achievements.
It's an important step for Switzerland, but also for our neighbours and the rest of the continent.
Cities like Stuttgart, Zürich, Lugano or Milano are linked much better.
The Gotthard-based tunnel brings together peoples and national economies, and with the construction of the century, we build on the pioneering achievement of our ancestors.
The first passenger trains to enter the tunnel were carrying 1,000 lucky Swiss citizens who'd won their tickets in a lottery.
The gesture was a recognition of the Swiss taxpayers who funded the entire 10 billion euro venture.
Then it was the turn of the VIPs.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi wasted no time taking their seats for the second train to leave for the South.
Chancellor Merkel acknowledged that an important gap in Germany still exists in the link between the ports of Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Genoa in Italy.
We know we're late.
We know the Gotthard tunnel's been described as the heart of the network, but the aorta's still missing.
And that's why our transport minister's working intensively on completing the Rhine link as fast as possible.
The high-speed trains will whisk passengers in 20 minutes through the tunnel shafts.
Rail cargo on the north-south route through Switzerland is now expected to double to 2 billion tons a year by 2030.
And daily rail passenger numbers are expected to grow from 9,000 now to 15,000 by 2020.
Ah, nice.
So they took the 17 years.
They dug a hole 57 kilometers long.
And the Germans, they're just dealing with flat.
They couldn't even do that.
So what's going on with these Germans?
Big talkers, that's the way I see it.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
As far as our State Department is concerned, we shouldn't be there anyway.
We're now learning that the U.S. State Department has issued a warning for American tourists not to travel or reconsider their travel plans to Europe specifically, to Europe in general this summer, and to the Europe...
How about that, huh?
How about that?
Take that, EU. You know why.
Okay.
Terrorism!
Oh, yeah, no, I know.
That was the reason it's going to be terrorism.
Yeah, but right now we've got a little extra...
What's the real reason?
Well, I think France is not playing along.
They've got the big UEFA football cup coming up, and they have no gasoline, and Americans are being told not to come at all.
Specifically, which kick-starts here on June 10th, and is going to attract 2.5 million people from all over the world and continue until July 10th.
They're saying that this tournament could be a potential target for terrorism activities.
So, the State Department has issued this warning that they have said on their website is going to be extended until August 31st, 2016.
Of course, making it obvious that it's directly going to affect potential tourists coming here to France for This European Championship.
And this is something that the European officials here, particularly in France, of course, have been concerned about considering this latest wave of strikes that we're seeing unraveling in France with railway stations, metro, and towards the end of the week potentially Airports are striking against labor law reforms that the government is trying to push along with.
We do know that concerns have been high that this could affect tourism.
So now this latest terror alert is certainly something that is going to be bothering French officials here on the ground.
We can take a listen to what was said by the French and German intelligence services on this.
Let's take a listen.
We know that ISIS has the European Championships in its sights.
They will try to hit as soon as possible and achieve the greatest possible impact.
Of course, all of this comes on the heels of France preparing for this European tournament with concerns very high that the strikes and now this latest terror alert is going to be something that's going to be affecting those who are planning to come here.
Earlier, we spoke to European security expert Ricardo Baretsky.
He believes that the terror threat is real.
It's real!
Last year, six months before the terror attacks began, the U.S. also issued a warning, and that warning in the report was actually bluntly ignored by most of the countries in Europe.
So this comes as no surprise, you know, that they made this announcement.
And, of course, they are concerned that the security forces as a whole is not paying attention to the growing threat of ISIL. It's real!
It's real!
It's real!
Not mentioned in that report is the other event taking place that is mentioned.
There's only two mentions of terror in the EU from the State Department's briefing or the State Department's travel warnings of the European Soccer Championships, June 10th to July 11th.
And then the Catholic Church's World Youth Day event, which is expected to draw 2.5 million visitors to Krakow, Poland, between July 26th and July 31st.
Here it is.
U.S. citizens should be aware that local infrastructure may be strained due to the large number of visitors.
Poland will impose border controls at all of its national borders from July 4 to August 2.
Wow, that's quite a time.
And visitors to Poland during this period should be prepared to show their passport and undergo stricter security screening throughout Poland.
Yeah, we're used to it.
Here's the follow-up on where we're at with the strikes, and specifically the SNCF, the big train operation that's state-run in France.
French national railway workers are continuing their indefinite demonstration and protest against the government's labor reform laws.
The new bill will allow employers more freedom to lay off staff and extend working hours.
State rail company SNCF says the protests led to the cancellation of about 40 percent of high-speed trains and more than half of regional trains.
Protesters are threatening to stay off the job through the start of the European Championship football tournament next week.
Trains will be crucial in getting the expected two and a half million visitors and spectators to matches across France during the month-long events.
Very nice.
They're very good timing.
They know what they're doing.
Now, I have this thought about the ISIS threat, the targeting, the guy said in your clip.
They're targeting these soccer matches.
If they kill one famous soccer player, the entire world will go ballistic and go after these guys like there's no tomorrow.
And they're soccer fans, too.
Yeah, that's even crazier.
So they're not going to do anything.
No.
No, they like the game.
They like the game.
Although, there was that attempt at...
Where was that attempt?
Were they...
That was in France.
That was in Paris.
Yeah, it was in Paris.
Yeah, but that was an outside explosion.
They were testing something.
They didn't do anything.
They just didn't even interrupt the match.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, you do not want...
You can do a lot, but you do not want to kill off any soccer player or, for that reason, any Kardashian.
I mean, any one of those deaths would be...
You're toast.
Forget about it.
We will pound you.
We will flatten you.
That would create some outrage, wouldn't it?
That's what I'm thinking.
So I think this is a bogus report by these so-called intelligence agencies.
Yeah, but it is our State Department, and I think it's quite rude, unless they are in cahoots with the French on this.
If I was in the French government, I'd be like, hey, we need all the help we can get.
Don't tell people not to come.
That's what makes me think there's something else going on.
Hmm.
What do you think?
It's not going to be a false flag.
I don't think that.
No, no, I don't think so either.
But there's something, I think it's some trade deal, the French or the EU. I have no idea.
It's got to be a weapons thing.
They're probably doing something.
It could be.
I have no idea.
Oops, wrong one.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda In the morning We've got a few people to thank for helping us with show 830.
Starting with Matthew Hurturt.
Hurturt.
Hurturt.
In Bowlesburg, Pennsylvania.
He came in with a...
Yes.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
And Lon Baker, 100 bucks, parts unknown.
Nick.
Just plain Nick.
Just playing Nick.
In Portland, Oregon, $100.
Let's read this for a second.
First and foremost, thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
Oh, by the way, the podcast awards are up again.
Oh, so people should vote.
Yeah, vote for it.
You can vote for us once a day.
So vote for us every day.
Or set up a bot.
That's who wins.
You know, the bot thing.
They've changed things, right?
Yeah, it's changed.
Yeah, it's changed.
Thank you for the best podcast in the universe, as this is my first time donating.
I humbly request a dedouching for not donating sooner.
I was punched in the mouth last year by a carpool buddy, but can you imagine you're carpooling and someone forces you to listen to our show?
That's great.
Hello, carpoolers.
We know you're listening.
That's right.
We know you're sitting in the back, grinding your teeth.
That a-hole, I can't believe he's making you listen to this stupid show.
It's like a Z morning zoo.
I was punched in the last year last mouth by my carpool buddy and had seen the light or darkness considering all the crap in social media.
Ever since, I've been meaning to give back to the show.
That has sharpened my mind against all the BS around the world.
So better late than never.
Please lay down some sick beats at the end of the show and release the karma for the other listeners to enjoy.
Lastly, Can I get one of John's favorite clips?
We'll put something at the end.
But you will get a deducing.
Welcome!
You've been deduced.
Welcome, Nick.
Welcome to the Land of the Awakened.
He wants a favorite clip of mine?
Yeah, what's one of your favorite clips?
Well, let's see.
I actually can never remember any, so I actually put down the...
put a list together.
The one I was hankering for, which I hoped you'd play earlier, was the Share a Secret.
There's no competition.
Let's share a secret.
Oh, there's no competition.
Yeah.
We just like to...
What is it?
Is it Children?
Children?
What is the name of that clip?
I don't know.
Hold hands, share...
There's no...
Hold hands, share a secret.
I thought it was secret.
I thought, why can't I... Hmm...
Oh, here we go.
Tell the secret.
I got it.
Well, I'll do that for you, John.
Oh, there's no winning.
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot.
Now everyone hug and share a secret.
There you go.
That's my favorite right now.
It's today.
Okay.
All right.
Onward.
John Bingham.
That was Nick of Portland.
Jonathan Bingham in New Providence, New Jersey.
$100.
Daniel Marugat.
Marugat?
What do you think?
Marugat.
Marugat in Barcelona.
Oh, he needs a...
He needs a dedouching.
Yeah.
No, he needs an F cancer is what he needs.
Oh, okay.
Let's do that.
Yeah.
And we'll give a little karma, too.
Stop it!
You've got karma.
That's for his mom.
That's cancer karma for his mom.
You got it, man.
No problem.
David Mazza, 8008.
I thought there were two of those 8008 ones because I had put it on the newsletter as a...
Boob.
It's boob.
I put it on the newsletter as an Easter egg.
Oh.
Yeah, if you clicked on, what's her name, the Guilfoyle.
On her boobs, yes.
On her boobs.
You know, that is one, that, as much as Tell a Secret is your favorite jingle, the Guilfoyle's boob holding is your favorite image.
It's very funny.
Don't you think?
Yeah, the first eight times.
Well, listen, nobody picked up on it except that one guy, and I thought it was two.
That's interesting.
Michael Robinson in Salem, Oregon, 7373.
Oh, he sent a note, and he's a ham, so hams get priority.
Of course hams get priority, because they're going to save the world when the apocalypse comes, right?
It also has a douchebag call-out.
Okay, I'm ready.
First and foremost, he writes, Michael Robinson, a douchebag call-out to my brother-in-law, Mark Johnson.
Douchebag!
He hit me in the mouth last year, and to my knowledge, has yet to donate.
Huh?
Thanks to Adam, I got interested, took and passed my general ham license, and my vanity call just came through.
73s to Adam.
73s.
From W7BMR. Oh, nice.
I like that BMR. What's BMR mean?
Well, MR is Michael Robinson, so maybe it's Bruce Michael Robinson or Butt Plug Michael Robinson or something like that.
Now here we have Ham Radio, guys.
Ham Radio is the public service network of last resort.
When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
Right?
Right?
Anyway, it says, thanks for reading between the lines in the news for us, as well as adding humor and insight.
I've said it before, $10 per laugh on no agenda would make me broke.
That's kind of cute.
Dunker.
Jay Cuthral, I believe, in Austin, Texas, right down the street from you, maybe.
Please consider this a humble down payment to his large donation coming.
To coax forth the mercurial opossums of large donations.
Long may they scurry up your funding tree.
And nice numbers, 6789.
I like that.
It's a good one.
Mercurial opossums.
Maybe a show title.
Sir Kevin Dills, 6432 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Joe Reynoso in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, 6116.
These are the people that donated 6116, which was the lucky palindrome that we're not going to see again ever.
No.
Which was the date when we sent the newsletter out, which was 6-1-16.
Patrick Coble in Fairview, Tennessee.
I'm going to read him in name and order.
6-1-16 each.
Karen Van Heitzma in Omaha, Nebraska.
Kalen Nistor in Northville, Michigan.
These, by the way, should be Lucky.
You can look up Lucky Palindrome.
Richard Zula in North Huntington, Pennsylvania.
Andy Kluber in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Glenn Stauffer in Litteds.
Litteds?
Litteds.
It could be Litteds, Pennsylvania.
It could be.
Levi Portenier in Lakewood, Colorado.
Sir Zachary Gilbrecht.
In Cordova, Tennessee.
Melissa Hodges in Oklahoma City.
Sir Vasquez in Denver, Colorado.
John Jolly in Yukon, Oklahoma.
That's a good group here.
Sean McCorkle in Arlington, Virginia.
William Moynihan in Verona, Wisconsin.
Roger Esty.
I think that's Sir Roger Esty in Tampa, Florida.
Phil Brown in Brighton, Victoria.
That's our little group.
Nice group.
Nice group.
Yeah, it's a good little group.
Sir, and they all have good luck now.
Kevin Payne in Richmond, Virginia, 5432.
Sir Jim Green, 5005 in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
Peter Colvin, $50.01 in Ballymina at, I don't know, HM UK, Ballymina.
I'm not sure where that is.
Sir, and he says, happy birthday.
We got it on the list for you.
Shane Rozdilski in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Sir Shane.
And these are all $50 donors.
I'm just going to name them off city and state and name.
Justin Barber in Los Angeles, California.
Dennis Brown in Rhinelander, Wisconsin.
Zachary Staley in Cincinnati, Ohio.
And last but not least, Jared Seuss in Chicago, Illinois.
$50 is a little short list there today.
I want to thank all these folks and remind you that we have another show coming up on Sunday.
Dvorak.org slash NA is a good place to go.
Also, thank you all very much.
You came in under $50, typically for reasons of anonymity.
And remember, you do need to get your encrypted email set up.
It's helpful for everybody.
Also, our donors on the monthly...
Didn't you have something in the newsletter about signing up for a subscription?
Yes, I was promoting subscriptions on this last newsletter.
Give me an example of some of them.
$33.33 a month, very popular, very popular.
$11.11, which is another subscription level that people like.
And then the $4 a week subscription, which is $0.75 an hour.
Which is pretty much the equivalent, if you factor in inflation, of the minimum wage.
Something like that.
It's below, I think.
It's pretty bad, people.
We appreciate all of that.
Thank you very much.
And remember, with every donation you send the No Agenda Show, you will never receive a tote bag.
Dvorak.org slash N-A.
It's your birthday, birthday on No Agenda.
Well, looking at our list for today, Sir Richard Moffat celebrated on the 31st of May.
Peter Colvin turned 29 on the 31st as well.
Michael Sabres turned 49 yesterday.
Richard Zula also celebrating yesterday, 42 years old.
And today, we say happy to Sir Jim Green.
Wait a minute, this can't be right.
I have something wrong here.
Okay, yes, I got it.
Sir Jim Green says happy birthday to Sir Scott Fuller, and he'll be celebrating on the 12th.
There we go.
Oh, yes, and finally, and finally, Henri Mackey turned four years old yesterday.
Happy birthday from all your buddies here, including Grandpa Devorak at the best podcast in the universe.
I wouldn't forget Henri.
Although, it does remind me of a story.
Okay.
When I asked you one time, that was four years ago, I said, hey, what's your grandson's name?
And you were like, I don't know, he's new, I forgot.
I don't remember that.
Oh, God.
You don't remember that?
Okay.
Hey, we need to talk about something that is just, there's no clips, it can't be done, but it's something really important.
We have no nightings?
Zero nightings.
You're aching for an instant night.
Yeah.
All right, go on.
Ever since the professor, the official brain professor of the No Agenda show...
Turned on us.
Well, but you'll recall the last dinner we had, he said, you know, science is in crisis.
My field is in crisis.
Yeah, it is.
And now The Lancet came out with...
The Lancet's a very well-respected publication.
Yep.
And I'll just read just a little bit here.
A lot of what is published is incorrect.
I'm not allowed to say who made this remark because we were asked to observe Chatham House rules.
We were also asked not to take photographs of slides.
This is someone who was at a conference.
That dealt specifically with the unreproducibility of most scientific studies, the massaging and outright manipulation of data to fit hypotheses, and the manipulation of hypotheses to fit data, the completely broken peer review process, broken, the use of p-values, Right.
This is really the big one.
And they're all very aware of it.
Everyone is aware in the scientific field.
And this is all kinds of research, medical, biotechnology, biological services, sciences, sorry.
And, of course, the elephant in the room is climate science.
There's nothing to reproduce, actually.
These are all models and predictions and fairly confident.
Pretty sure we're kind of confident with one foot in the air and two hands behind our backs.
It'll happen.
Resulting in commentary like it's never going to snow in England.
We're going to have the worst hurricanes ever.
Right.
Now, I think it would be better...
To focus just on all the other fields of broken science before taking it into climate science.
Because it's the third rail of climate science.
You cannot dispute that.
But all scientists, the brain professor, he's getting belligerent on the face bag.
He's saying, this makes me want to puke or quit or puke then quit.
This is a Stanford professor saying this about his own field.
Publicly, kind of.
Facebook.
Well, you should get off Facebook immediately.
Who?
The professor?
Yeah.
No!
No, no, no.
No, this is my way in.
So this is a very big issue.
There is caucusing going on about it.
The main problem is really all studies, and of course this is mainly in the pharmaceutical field, We have a reproducibility rate below 20%.
That's what science is about.
If you remember, we started noticing this some years back when we were doing more drug stuff on the show, and we talked about that smoking product, the anti-smoking product.
Yes, that made you crazy, Shantix.
Shantix.
And when you play the commercial, they say it's only a few points higher than a placebo.
Oh, that's right.
Shantix.
Yeah, you have placebo.
Take a placebo and you'll stop smoking.
Or take Shantix, you'll stop smoking and you'll also go crazy.
Take your pick.
Yeah.
Anyway, so science is, of course, not a belief system, although it's being pushed in our way.
And, of course, if it's a belief system the way it looks now, then this makes nothing but sense.
But there's a whole bunch of, you know, like all religions, there's a lot of hocus pocus going on in the story.
And a lot of it's not reproducible.
You know, we can't reproduce baby Jesus coming back.
So then it becomes a belief system.
Science is a methodology.
It is a practice.
And the practice is to reproduce and to be able to reproduce findings and to have correct statistical factoring.
And, you know, so they're doing all these meetings under Chatham Rules.
What is actually the Chatham Rules?
I mean, I've never heard of Chatham Rules.
Oh, I've heard this a lot.
Book of Knowledge.
Definition of Chatham Rules.
The word rules has numerous meanings.
Now, you are just a big-ass loser.
Chatham Rules.
I'm not sure what you meant by that question.
No?
Well, I do.
Chatham Rules.
Let's see.
It seems as though that device is getting worse.
It can't do any of the things that we need for the show.
It can turn the lights on and off, set timers.
It can tell me the weather.
It does the stuff that's important.
But for the show, it's completely useless.
Chatham House Rule.
Here we go.
If I'd asked her to look up Wikipedia, she would have given it to me.
Hold on.
Hello?
Book of Knowledge?
She's freaking out.
Book of Knowledge.
Wikipedia Chatham House Rule.
The Chatham House Rule is a system for holding debates and discussion panels on controversial issues, named after the headquarters of the UK Royal Institute of International Affairs, based in Chatham House, London, where the rule originated in June 1927.
Tell me if you'd like me to read more.
Yes, read more!
Oh my goodness!
At a meeting held under the Chatham House rule, anyone who comes to the meeting is free to use information from the discussion but is not allowed to reveal who made any comment.
That is the Chatham House rule.
Man, that thing is a big-ass fail.
And there's your artificial intelligence, everybody.
All right, fine.
Well, I don't see anybody discussing this topic on any show ever, anywhere.
Right.
Now, neither of us are scientists, but we have a lot of producers in the field, and we'd like to hear more about what is being discussed in this regard around science, your field of scientific research.
Of course, it's all about the money, and we all know why it's happening.
And tell me, you did another tease in the newsletter about the sausage-wielding extremists attacking the vegan cafe in Tbilisi.
Yeah.
There was a...
A shop, a vegan cafe in Poland, or no, in Georgia.
Yeah, Tbilisi.
And it's called, I don't have the name off the top of my head.
I didn't do as much research.
Vegan Delight.
I'll look it up.
No, it was something like the Amoeba Cafe or something.
Kiwi Cafe.
Kiwi Cafe.
And apparently these so-called Nazis wore a chain around.
They wore a necklace of sausages and came running into the cafe and they threw meat at the patrons.
And then they ran off.
I guess they got into a scuffle.
Now, to me, this whole thing, I don't know that they were, I don't know how anyone proves they were Nazis, what kind of Nazis they were.
I think this is a prelude to what we're going to start to see.
This is the reason I mentioned it in the newsletter.
I think this is a prelude to trying to do this associative thing where the vegans are good people and the Nazis are the ones who eat meat.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I'm giving you a point.
Absolutely.
We've already seen this.
If you do anything out of the ordinary, be either Hitler or a Nazi, or you're Hitler and your friends are Nazis.
Yeah.
So meat eating will now become a Nazi activity.
And they'll start to sneak that into the meme fest that we're living under.
You watch.
You know, it makes nothing but sense.
Let me see.
How did they come up with that?
I think I had a...
I believe the global warming thing is because of the vegans.
I think they're behind the whole damn thing.
Yeah.
Just to keep people from eating.
It's all about the meat eating.
Interesting.
Don't want to eat meat.
No, no, no, no.
Global Warming is caused by cows.
That was the one to give it to you.
What?
Now, I think the reason why they...
Or here's how it's explained in the press...
That they were shouting Georgia for Georgians, which our Thai-eating guy Sakasvili had declared was a poisonous nationalistic slogan.
So...
How does that work?
How is that nationalistic?
Well, I can say it's nationalistic, of course, but why is it poisonous?
Well, let me see.
Since 2013, when violent threats against gay activists in Tbilisi forced them to cancel a gay pride parade in the Georgian capital, the slogan appeared as spray-painted graffiti near Heroes Square in the city center alongside Nazi swastikas and racist slogans.
It's like American flags.
Bad, Trump, American flags, bad, Trump, Mexican flags, good.
Dump Trump, Mexican flags, good.
It's the same thing.
The world is turned upside down, man.
There's actually a book of that title out there.
What's it called?
Everything's Upside Down or something.
I have to get the exact name.
It was done by a British intellectual female who was a very aggressive, very interesting person to listen to.
I used to have clips.
I think I had clips of her years ago.
Let me see.
Also, well, the polling done in Gitmo Nation East.
Brexit, 52% apparently now wanting to leave, according to the polling.
And now, obviously, the polling is being questioned.
Can't be right.
Well, that's because the side with the money...
It's the stay side, and the polling will generate more income for the media from the group that has the most money, which is the guys that say, yes, stay.
So these polls are bullcrap.
No, it's a fundraising exercise.
Well, that too.
It's a sales call.
Yeah, we'll see.
It's not going to happen.
They're going to stay in.
I'd be stunned.
I'll be stunned.
Yeah.
I'll eat my words.
Well, I spoke to Michelle.
I don't know if I told you I spoke.
Yeah, I think I did tell you that.
My buddy in the UK, and he's selling everything.
He's packing it all up, selling.
He says, it's going to happen.
Brexit's going to happen.
I said, come on, man.
They're spending so much money on frightening everybody.
I'd say, yeah, but...
And he's a man of the people, you know?
Michelle can't even...
He's barely literate.
I've seen him write stuff.
I'm like, oh my God.
You know those guys?
Very successful in business, and he runs nightclubs.
Cannot write.
He can't.
I'm going to ask...
I'm going to have to read some of his stuff to you once.
It's crazy.
Yeah, it's crazy.
So...
He's going to pack and go where?
He doesn't know.
I told him Austin.
We need more than just the yellow rose.
Nice strip joints in Austin.
That's what I'm saying.
All we got is the yellow rose.
There's tons of them, but not Austin.
Well, yeah, outside of the city.
There should be one in the city.
In the building, maybe.
A couple.
In my building.
Downstairs.
Downstairs.
Exactly.
Man, I have your sense and flee.
Oh, Zika.
Oh, Zika.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Little baby.
With a little bitty head.
With a baby with a small head.
They're going to have to make a little head.
You watch.
Oh.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Yeah.
Where's the money?
1.9 billion dollars.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Yeah.
Where's the money?
Let's have it now.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Yeah.
Where's the money?
Small heads are coming.
You're going to do it.
You watch.
There you go.
Zika, Zika, Zika.
Where's the money?
That's right.
We have a jingle now for the segment.
It's here to stay, Zika.
Well, I have the long clip, the complete clip from ABC. Now to that alarming health headline involving Zika here in the U.S. The first baby born in the continental U.S. with microcephaly.
The baby was born in New Jersey to a mother who had contracted the virus in her native Honduras before coming to the U.S. And tonight, as we learn more about the baby, another development.
A major league baseball player who came down with Zika is now revealing his symptoms.
Here's ABC's Giobanitas.
Tonight, doctors in New Jersey are revealing new details about that first Zika-affected baby born in the continental U.S. and her mother.
She is trying her best to cope with this emotionally.
Doctors saying today the mother was infected in Honduras and came to the U.S. just last week for better care.
The baby born premature and has microcephaly, an underdeveloped brain and head, and eye abnormalities.
Oh!
We continue to evaluate the extent of the effects of the virus on her, as well as her ability to do common childhood things.
In the U.S., there are now more than 300 women who were infected by travel-related Zika during their pregnancy.
And tonight, a Major League pitcher is also sounding the alarm on Zika.
Francisco Rodriguez is warning athletes traveling to the Olympics to do their homework after he was sickened with Zika during an off-season trip home to Venezuela.
Telling ESPN that he suffered severe body aches, joint pain, and headaches, and that it took two months to feel like himself again.
This guy is really doing an important kind of little report because it's every single thing he says is very urgent, and he breathes in like he can barely talk.
You know what I'm saying?
Welcome to ABC. Do you get to micropenis with microcephaly?
I've never heard this.
No, I'm asking.
I'm asking.
I don't know.
I've never heard this.
I just said I never heard that.
Maybe you do.
I have no idea.
All I know is this is a very screwy story.
For one thing, the woman is in Honduras.
She has an attendant surgeon with her at all times.
Oh, but my report actually explains this.
And then she rushes to the United States to have the baby.
So she's not a woman without means.
Ah, well, yeah, listen.
Okay, go and give me what you got.
Because this whole thing is like concocted.
It was forced.
Let's just find somebody we know is going to have a Zika baby so we can have one born here and get some money, get this damn thing.
You get the 1.9 billion.
It's even worse than that, John.
Uh-oh.
So a newborn in New York has been diagnosed with a Zika-related illness, or the New York area, I should say.
The mother gave birth at New Jersey's Hackensack Medical Center, the University Medical Center there.
David Lee Miller, live from there this morning.
So David, what do we know about this case?
How did the mother contract Zika, do we believe?
Martha, we know that the mother is a 31-year-old woman.
We do not know anything more about her identity and that she was exposed to the Zika virus.
And this is important.
She was exposed to the Zika virus while living in her native Honduras.
The child was born yesterday at 3 p.m.
at Hackensack University Medical Center.
The woman was in the United States visiting extended family.
The chief of obstetrics, Dr.
Manny Alvarez, who is the senior managing editor for FoxNews.com, was among those on the delivery team.
He said the child was crying, and he said when he looked at the mother, he could see the pain in her heart.
One other thing worth noting here is that the child's grandmother is a microbiologist and that she noticed a rash on her daughter's arm and she sent her daughter's blood to the CDC and tests a number of months ago did then confirm exposure to the Zika virus.
This child, now the second child in the United States to...
So there it is.
The CDC knew of her.
They knew of her months ago.
Totally, totally.
Hold on a second.
If you listen to the ABC report, they said that she came to the United States to get better care.
And this report, which sounds like it's from Fox, perhaps, they say that she came to the United States to visit some relative.
Yeah.
Which is it?
Well, it's both.
Well, she certainly was visiting her grandmother.
Then as her grandmother, who's, I guess, a microbiologist with some pull, sees a rash, sends it to the CDC. Yeah, that's what I'd do.
No!
Doctor, clinic, you know, faith healer, whatever it is.
Doctor, not CDC. Is that your first one?
How about this for an idea?
The CDC put the word out That they're looking for someone that has a bonanza.
We're looking for somebody that's got the Zika virus and possibly will have a microencephalatic, whatever you want to call it, baby.
Let us know if you're a doctor or anyone who has a clue about this stuff and we'll rush her over here because we need to get somebody to give birth so we can get that $1.9 billion.
And how about the Fox News doctor being in the delivery room?
It's ridiculous.
And they have the exclusive.
Well, nothing is as stupid.
No.
No one is as stupid, complete, retarded, moronically stupid than Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.
Does Mossberg even write anymore?
Not that I know of.
Does he have a keyboard?
He's kind of retired.
So they do the Recode conference, which of course is where they really make their money, that whole Recode thing.
And for Walt Mossberg...
Okay, so here's the deal.
The CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Susan Desmond, She shows up, and she does this extremely childish demonstration of something the Gates Foundation is doing, which is in Australia, but they're going to do it in Africa, of course, distributing what looks like Chinese takeout containers.
Open, you know, the ones that fold in from all four corners, and you put your rice in there.
That's what it looks like, except it says Gates Foundation.
Is it the styrofoam one?
No, cardboard.
Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard.
And the idea is they have eggs, mosquito eggs that have been modified, female eggs, so they will no longer be spreading the Zika virus.
They will be incapable of it, and of course then they mate with other mosquitoes.
So this is the Bill and Melinda Gates Fund.
This is what they're doing.
They're doing genetically modification of mosquitoes.
And it's so cavalier, and she's demoing this, and she brings in a carton for each of them.
And, I mean, this is either incredibly insulting because they're not that stupid, they're just playing along with the game, or they're just stupid.
And then you put this in your backyard in a shady spot.
Open.
Open.
And two weeks later...
Could you put Chinese food in here instead?
Two weeks later, 50 female, 80s mosquitoes will be born.
You fly out of your backyard, right out of this.
They will fly out of your backyard.
Why would they be that kind of mosquito in particular?
The eggs have Wolbachia in the eggs.
So those female mosquitoes will mate with a man.
No, but why will they be the 80s mosquitoes?
That's what's in the red thing that's in your box.
So they're sending out a plane.
So you are actually growing 50 female mosquitoes in your backyard.
That normally you would not want to have that kind of thing.
I would not normally want to do that, but in this case, these mosquitoes cannot transmit Zika.
They cannot transmit dengue, and they'll mate with males, and all of their offspring will be infected with Olbachia and unable to transmit Zika.
So you're using sexually transmitted diseases to solve...
That's exactly right.
Okay.
That's the citizen science.
Wow.
Citizen science!
And so here's the thing...
Woo!
Citizen science!
Yeah, that's what we're doing.
Losing science!
Yes, citizen science.
Man.
How can this be okay?
Has she checked?
Is this okay to do this?
Well, I know that there's legal issues about releasing mosquitoes.
Hell yeah!
And Gates has done this before.
Gates himself has actually released a bunch of mosquitoes.
Steck and I went back and forth on this.
He released a bunch of mosquitoes at a conference for some reason.
Yeah, and he let them go.
Which is totally illegal.
I think it was a TED Talk.
Yeah, it may have been a TED talk.
Whatever the case, nobody did anything.
Nobody cares.
And this guy can do whatever he wants.
And I guess this is...
I don't know.
And I don't like that.
These mosquitoes aren't normally in this area.
So who knows what's going on here.
They may be planting these mosquitoes, for all we know.
I mean, it's possible that we don't have these mosquitoes.
I'm not going to go into this paranoid thing, but...
I don't trust any of this crap.
The mosquito doesn't exist in most of the United States.
It exists in southern Florida.
I release them there.
It's a little part of Texas, and that's about it.
Maybe San Diego.
But it doesn't get anywhere else.
So why do you want to introduce the damn thing?
It just doesn't make sense.
And so cavalier, and they're so funny, Walt and Kyra.
So funny.
So funny.
I tweeted a link to the story yesterday that Facebook admits that if you use Facebook Messenger, they turn the microphone on from time to time and listen.
They say it's only for helping you, helping give you things you need based upon the environment you were in.
I tweet this link.
I must have 20 different emails with people of stories where they were talking about something completely innocuous, and then all of a sudden they get ads for it in their timeline.
Could be coincidental, but I've always said this would happen.
I doubt it.
I doubt it, too.
I've always said this would happen, and people laughed at me because I said it was Google.
So watch how Google's going to do this.
You watch.
And now it was Facebook.
And they're not ashamed.
They just, oh, no, no, it's good.
We're helping you.
It's all to help you.
It's good.
Yeah, you went to targeted ads.
Don't you want...
Hey, Adam.
Yeah.
Don't you want targeted ads rather than just random stuff?
Oh, yes.
Don't you want...
Don't you want stuff that is targeted to you?
I even like things specifically so that the algorithms and the artificial intelligence knows what I like.
And then they send me more of that.
It's dynamite.
This is so much fun.
I love them.
I want them to just run my life.
Okay.
I think there are people that think that way.
Yes.
And another Facebook story is this, and this is more egregious.
You know, we haven't talked about the Peter Thiel thing and Gawker.
I really don't care.
And there seems to be this big push to, you know, this is horrible.
This shows that money can buy, can put news organizations out of work.
I'm like, news organizations are doing just fine putting themselves out of work.
Thank you very much.
Hold on a second.
Are you telling me that some rich guy...
Is trying to put some news operation out of business?
Why, yes.
Because that's never happened before?
No, this is new.
Newspapers don't try to put each other out of business?
No, that never happens.
That's never happened before.
Oh my God, this is a shocker.
Peter Thiel is using his money to try to put somebody he doesn't like out of business.
Because that has never happened before in the history of the United States.
Yeah, and You can ask the people at the New York Herald about that.
Or the New York American.
What about the, oh, they're out of business.
They were put out of business by the Hursts.
Yeah.
Oh, then they themselves were put out of business.
Well, there is likening and comparisons to the families like the Hursts.
Saying, you know, this is nothing different than the Hursts.
And yeah, it happens all the time.
And maybe you should look at the legal system as the issue here.
Instead of...
And yet, Sheryl Sandberg had to kick him off the board of Facebook, which, of course, they're not doing.
So now, everyone's saying, oh, Facebook, there's no more free speech.
Well, hello, McFly.
You want to hear one goodie, a little side bit?
Sure.
Sheryl Sandberg, Council of Foreign Relations.
Of course.
Makes nothing but sense.
And now U.S. Internet giants Facebook, Inc., Twitter, Inc., Google, Alphabet, Inc., and Microsoft Corporation, Inc.
pledged to tackle online hate speech in less than 24 hours as part of a joint commitment by the European Union to combat the use of social media by terrorists.
So, the plan here...
Now, you know, hate speech is actually criminalized in the EU. Yes.
Now, in the United States, speech is speech.
And so is hate speech.
Although we have hate crimes in several states...
Hate speech will now, so the way it works is very much like takedown requests for DCMA or through the DCMA. In fact, they're sheltering themselves behind the same provision.
Hey, we're just a conduit for everybody else's content.
That's all we are.
And I think, well, anyway.
So they're doing that now in Europe.
And will they block, if they remove something?
Does it remove just for Europe?
Or is it removed for all countries?
I'm going to guess it's removed for all countries.
For all continents.
For all communities.
All cultures.
And you know what?
So they're listening to you.
They're listening to you.
And they're removing your hate speech.
When will anyone get a clue?
And hate speech can be pretty much anything.
Yeah, I hate you.
I don't like hostess cupcakes.
I hate you.
I hate you.
You're an a-hole.
You're just an a-hole.
I hate you.
I know.
No, it's no good.
Alright.
I think we should spin the clip wheel!
This is for one of your clips.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
See what it lands on.
Well, I have to...
It came on the wrong one.
I had another clip that I wanted to play, but it fell on this bees attack.
Okay.
All right.
We'll have to make do, then.
A hiker killed by a swarm of hostile bees.
Authorities say Alex Bessler was on a hike in Arizona when a large swarm of bees attacked.
Several good Samaritans tried to help the hiker, but were driven back by the angry swarm.
Hundreds of bees.
Bessler was taken to a hospital.
He did not survive.
Officials say he was stung more than 1,000 times.
What an awful story there.
Yes, terrible.
I wanted to play.
I thought this clip needed to be played because we have these Africanized bees in Concord, which is not too far from here.
And these are the killer bees?
Yeah.
And they actually kill people like this guy?
Yeah.
That's for reals.
Yeah.
Wow.
One of the things I wanted to do earlier in the show, but I didn't get the chance to play.
There's a little segment that we haven't done for a long time, which was Guess the Movie.
Oh, wait.
I think we have a clip for that, don't we?
Oh, I think we might.
Yeah, we must have one.
Let me see.
It's been a while.
Yes, we do.
Oh, wait.
No, that is a former clue.
I'm looking for the guess the movie The Jingle is what I'm looking for.
Hmm.
I think they're all titled...
You probably titled them all Guess the Movie.
Yeah, well, that's hard.
I have no idea what the jingle is.
Let me see.
Is it this one?
No.
Okay.
Guess the Movie.
Here we go.
What am I guessing?
Hold on.
Is it titled Guess the Movie?
Yes.
Once again.
Once again.
Oh, oh, oh, humanity.
It's crashing.
It's burning.
I'm sorry.
Jeffrey!
Come back!
Come back!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Everybody, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
It's an accident.
Look.
I want to apologize to everybody here, please.
I'm going to put everybody back together.
I promise you.
Well, first thing, I got to put Elizabeth back together because that's the whole point of this.
And then I'm going to take care of everybody.
I'm going to get to everybody.
Just take it easy.
First, we're going to take a little trip to New Jersey.
It's just right over the bridge.
I got an estrogen-based blood serum there.
It's going to do wonders for you.
Oh, man.
Wow.
If you had ever seen this movie, you would have recognized that dialogue.
Well, of course, Oh, the Humanity, but that I remember Oh, the Humanity from only two things.
I remember it from, of course, the Hindenburg, the famous radio announcer, Oh, the Humanity, and I believe Police Academy 4, Citizens on Patrol.
I think that was stolen from Star Trek.
That's where it...
Oh.
Where it came up with the Spock.
He had this rock, that there was a living rock, and then he mind-melded with it and then yelled, Oh, the humanity.
And what is the correct answer?
For this particular clip, Frankenhooker.
Oh, yeah.
No.
You're right.
You're right.
Once again, you have stumped me, John.
I will never again tout my knowledge of the cinema.
And try and...
I think a lot of people out there would have recognized that and got that correct.
Yeah.
Frankenhooker.
Frankenhooker, yes.
Very good.
Very good.
Ah, okay.
I don't think I have any.
No, I've got nothing else.
I think we're good.
We are good, and we should get the hell out of here.
That's what I'm saying.
We've got a show on Sunday to work up.
That's right.
Anything to watch today?
No, there's nothing today.
Yeah, today there is.
Actually, the first game of the NBA World Series.
The NBA Finals.
Yeah, but I didn't watch the Warriors game.
Sorry, I didn't.
The Warriors and the...
Hey, get me a Curry shirt, everybody.
Come on.
Somebody should send him a curry shirt.
Send me a curry shirt.
What's your size?
Extra large.
Extra large curry shirt.
Extra large is what I'd say.
Extra large.
Extra large.
Send me one too while you're at it.
Okay.
All right, everybody, thank you very much for helping us.
And remember, we do another show coming up on Sunday.
Remember us at dvorak.org slash NA. Thank you, chat room.
Thank you, producers.
Thank you, execs, associate execs.
And coming to you from FEMA Region 6, downtown Austin, Tejas, in the crackpot condo located in the skyscraper.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I actually have two mockingbirds in the area that make a lot of racket.
Dramatically, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
Adios, mofos.
I have faith in the American people that they will make the right choice here.
Hail science!
Man, I have your sense and fleek.
Oh, Zika.
Oh, Zika.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Little baby.
With a little bitty head.
With a baby with a small head.
They're going to have to make a little head.
You watch.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, yeah.
Where's the money?
1.9 billion dollars.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, yeah.
Where's the money?
Let's have it now.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, yeah.
Where's the money?
Small heads are coming.
You're going to do it.
You watch.
We're going to have a problem here.
If we fall for...
Okie doke.
If we fall for okey-doke just because it sounds funny or provocative, if the tweets are a bunch of okey-doke.
Two-three major incident in West LA Division.
The city is on comfortable and looks down at it.
Adios, mofo.
Amen.
Fist bump.
Oh, there's no winning.
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot.
