	Like, no, you know, it's a public poll.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, June 9th, 2016, and time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 832.
	This is no agenda.
	Counting the votes before they're cast.
	I am from the future, and we're broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin Tejas, FEMA Region 6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I have my I Voted sticker, I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crack Vaught and Buzzkill.
	In the morning!
	Good boy.
	You voted for Bernie?
	It's in Chinese.
	Really?
	Really?
	Yeah, they had all these I voted stickers.
	In Chinese?
	And I said, oh, no, no, no, no, give me that one.
	And they have Chinese ones.
	I should have grabbed a bunch of them.
	So if you're a Chinese American or Chinese resident or...
	No, you have to be a citizen.
	No, you have to be a citizen.
	Yeah, you can get a Chinese ballot.
	Wow.
	How do you become a citizen if you can't read the ballot?
	I mean, you have to do it.
	There is a test, you know.
	Well, the ballot was actually mostly for Chinese people.
	It was literally, if you wanted to elect the Dao Chao Ping and all the different Chinese leaders.
	Yeah, but that's not my question.
	They were on the ballot.
	Right.
	In order to vote in California, you have to be an American citizen or just a California resident?
	For a primary.
	I think you have to be an American citizen.
	That's what I thought, too.
	So if you're an American citizen, you take the test.
	The test is what color is the White House, who was our first president, who was the 16th.
	This is all bullcrap.
	Maybe it's possible you just be an alien resident and you can vote.
	I think that may be possible.
	I don't know if they should be voting for the president, but okay.
	I haven't thought about it.
	It's funny.
	You'd think I would know.
	This is civics.
	Basic civics.
	We should know this.
	Yes, we don't know anything these days.
	In this country.
	That's the way it is.
	Now, we have...
	An outrageous amount of stuff to get through today, which we probably won't get to all of it.
	You had four bundles of clips to me.
	Yes.
	And it bodes explaining one more time that John and I pretty much never speak to each other, rarely email in between shows, and I show up with my clips.
	John shows up with his clips.
	I have no idea what's in there, except, of course, I can see some of the titles.
	So I know that you're doing another one of your coveted Miss USA reports, which I'm very excited about.
	But, I think we need to discuss, at least just briefly, the fabulous move by the Ministry of Truth in the United States of Gitmo Nation.
	And in this case, I'm talking, of course, about Associated Press.
	Announcing Hillary Clinton as the presumptive nominee.
	Pretty much based on...
	She clinched!
	You know, that was really...
	And it's so...
	It's not discussed what happened here.
	But holy crap!
	For people who weren't paying attention to it, perhaps...
	A reporter from the Associated Press, before the California primary...
	The night before.
	The night before.
	Elections, voting, whatever you want to call it.
	Had called up as many superdelegates, Democratic superdelegates, as he could find.
	And said, hey, who are you voting for?
	And apparently, because he didn't name any specific names, he said, oh, well, it looks like there's enough superdelegates who are going to vote for Hillary Clinton.
	And this is at the convention when they'll do this.
	So they just up and called her the presumptive nominee.
	And then CNN jumped on it, and everyone just jumped on it.
	It was an unbelievable moment in American politics.
	And pretty much just glossed over.
	Like, whatever.
	And you received the emails, right, from the Hillary camp?
	Oh yeah, of course.
	Right, because I get them, because someone signed me up as Mimi, so I get Mimi's emails from Hillary.
	And when AP came out with this, they do a lot of email blasts.
	They came out with an email that had an image in it, and the image was like, oh!
	With her standing there in her Dr.
	Evil clothes, and the AP announcement that she had clinched the nomination.
	Right.
	However, as is often the case with these email blasts, the images aren't actually included in the email, but they're a reference link to a server.
	And this email, or this image, if you go and look at the URL, the image name, the title, the actual file name is, if it first has the date, it has 6-4, so this was created on June 4th, we presume.
	And it says Secret Wind Version 2.
	So you kind of got to think that since this image was apparently created before the announcement, they kind of knew.
	This was totally rigged.
	I'll say.
	Let's go over.
	I have some clips about this.
	And I have my favorite.
	I have my series of clinching clips.
	And, you know, somebody's obviously clinching their butt cheeks.
	Yeah.
	But let's play a couple of these things.
	Let's play, first of all, because I like the contrast of this series of four clips.
	Five, one, two, three, four.
	Yes, yes.
	Four clips.
	Just kind of tell us what was happening here.
	Let's start with...
	Hillary Clinton's CBS1. Okay.
	Clinton claimed the Democratic nomination last night, and she talked to us today from her hometown of Chappaqua, New York.
	There was a moment last night that you stopped to take it all in.
	You stretched your arms out wide, and I wonder what was going through your mind at that moment.
	I gotta get milk.
	I wasn't really thinking.
	I was just feeling the moment.
	I was so overwhelmed by the energy and the...
	Yeah, that was pretty harsh.
	You made me listen to that.
	Here's my favorite clip of the group, by the way, because this is the one where they coin a new phrase and they just give it to the old fart who they...
	You know, I remember when...
	I think I mentioned this on the show before, but Bernie Sanders comes and he's at a Warriors game and he's getting nothing but attention and none of the news media would cover it.
	And that just comes up in this conversation that we're going to have today.
	So let's play Hillary Clinton's CBS 2.
	Well, despite clinching the nomination, Clinton is still being pursued by the zombie candidacy of Bernie Sanders.
	They did that?
	Man, that's pretty funny.
	I like that.
	It's very funny.
	This is the CIA's network.
	It's fabulous.
	John Bernie, you know, he shouldn't have run in the first place.
	It's complicated.
	So let's go to Hillary clinches on PBS. Okay.
	Oh, this is good, John.
	It's the last Super Tuesday of the 2016 primary season, and it's something of an anti-climax.
	According to new delegate counts, Hillary Clinton wrapped up a Democratic nomination overnight, hours before polls opened in six states.
	What a lie!
	It's a lie.
	It's a huge lie.
	I just need to reiterate this.
	This whole process is not really part of the American voting system anyway.
	It's just a couple of clubs.
	But...
	When the voting happens at the convention, which is, I think, July, and that's when they can switch at any time.
	And the way this was played, it was an unbelievable Ministry of Truth movement.
	Well, I'm going to stop you, and we're going to go to Hillary clinches on democracy now.
	Something of a contrast.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Hold on a second.
	Yeah.
	I'm Amy Goodman.
	Hillary Clinton's claim, the Democratic presidential nomination, with Clinton wins in California, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota, she's set to become the first woman ever nominated by a major party to run for the White House.
	Let her finish, let her finish.
	I'm sorry.
	Party to run for the White House.
	With only one primary to go in the District of Columbia, Hillary Clinton has an insurmountable lead in pledge delegates over her challenger Bernie Sanders.
	But Clinton's pledge delegate count falls short of the 2,383 needed, meaning she will need to rely on the support of unelected superdelegates to officially secure the nomination at next month's convention in Philadelphia.
	Now, this is a contrasting little...
	This is more of a true statement.
	She goes on and she brings a bunch of people on, and then she plays this...
	Hillary clinches.
	This is...
	She brings on Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
	A clip from Wasserman Schultz.
	Yeah, but this was done on Rachel Maddow, and she pulled it from the Rachel Maddow show, and listen to what Wasserman Schultz has to say.
	I just wish I knew which clip I'm playing, man.
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, it's DWS... I'm glad you're asking me about this, because the way the media has been reporting this is incorrect.
	There aren't pledged delegates, i.e.
	superdelegates, earned at any of these primary or caucus contests, Rachel.
	Those unpledged delegates...
	Our elected officials, party leaders, people who have spent years and years in the Democratic Party, members of Congress, our DNC members, our superdelegates, and they have the ability to decide who they choose to support at the convention at any point.
	So they are not actually—whatever they're saying now, I mean, most of them presumably would remain committed to who they've committed to now, but they haven't all committed to a candidate.
	And they're really free to decide all the way up until July.
	What?
	So we're being misled.
	You think?
	Yeah, that would be the point.
	Yeah, we're being misled.
	And everybody's all in.
	We're being misled by every single...
	I could have played these same group of clips from ABC, from NBC. I got to CBS and PBS. It's unbelievable to me how they don't even care about the truth or any possibility.
	They have shut Bernie out, and that's that.
	Screw Bernie, by the way.
	And here's the stuff that...
	So once this happened...
	Then we got all kinds of fun stuff.
	This was Sanders before he left for Vermont, I guess, with a fabulous question from a New York Times reporter.
	Excuse me.
	Excuse me.
	Excuse me, ma'am.
	Well, the hands are up as well.
	Jeffrey, do you have a question?
	What do you say to women who say that you staying in the race is sexist, is getting in the way of what could be the first female president?
	Is that a serious question?
	That any woman who is running for president, anyone who opposes...
	This is the New York Times.
	Because you're staying in the race, you're sexist.
	Unbelievable.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	Listen to Bob Schieffer from CBS. He had a great little quote.
	Things are going to change tomorrow.
	You're going to have a flood of endorsements and donations coming Hillary Clinton's way.
	And with that comes a lot of pressure that has not been on Bernie Sanders up until this point to change his argument.
	Big wigs in the Democratic Party, leaders who he respects saying out loud in public, It's really time, Bernie, to step aside.
	Just trying to shake somebody, like Bernie Sanders, you know, he was never sought office as a Democrat before, and yet, I mean, he's been like gum on your shoes.
	You just can't get him off of you.
	He's like gum on your shoe.
	Hey, way to talk about a guy who's actually running for president.
	That fucker's like gum on your shoe.
	Unbelievable.
	I got one, Dan.
	But John, how, I mean, when this happened, To me, the lack of any pushback on this, any whatsoever.
	Well, Democracy Now did it.
	Who cares?
	Right, okay.
	No, but that wasn't even pushback.
	At no point did I hear, what an outrage.
	No, no, nobody said anything like that.
	In fact, even the right-wing talkers, I don't hear much of it going on.
	I mean, they're still arguing whether they should be supporting Trump.
	Yeah, everyone's pathetic.
	They really are.
	Well, let's go back to democracy now, because they did bring this guy on.
	And talk about pushback.
	You're going to hear some.
	This guy is named Norman Solomon.
	He's a Bernie supporter.
	And they brought him on.
	These are the Bernie clips that I have on this list.
	There's Bernie.
	I got it.
	Let's start off with the Bernie clip.
	This is the...
	Well, let's do the introduction to Norman Solomon.
	So, Norman Solomon, you're a Bernie Sanders delegate.
	Clearly, Hillary Clinton offering the olive branch to people like you.
	It sounded like she was saying the olive branch.
	So, Norman Solomon, you're a Bernie Sanders delegate.
	Clearly, Hillary Clinton offering the olive branch to people like you.
	I think in her head she's thinking, he better take a bullet.
	That's probably what she's thinking.
	He better take a bullet for Hillary and get out of the way.
	It's something like that.
	Really crazy.
	Clinton offering the olive branch to people like you, to Bernie Sanders supporters.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'll do it later.
	Response to what happened last night.
	Well, I think Hillary Clinton's speech was well-crafted and Bernie Sanders' speech was transcendent, and that's really symbolic of both campaigns.
	If we're getting an olive branch now from Hillary Clinton, it's a rather small one, it's a rather brittle one, and it remains to be seen whether there's going to be very much substance.
	You know, it is a glass ceiling that needs to be shattered.
	We need equal rights for women as well as men, and we also need equal scrutiny.
	And when we think about the role that Hillary Clinton has played in terms of advocating for the so-called welfare reform of 1996 that decimated the lives of millions of women economically in this country, When you think of the women in the Middle East and North Africa,
	whose lives have been shattered by the policies advocated and advanced by Hillary Clinton, it's problematic to see her as some sort of advocate and champion for the rights of women or children or any human being.
	So, this is an ongoing challenge, and I think the most important words that we heard last night were three from Bernie.
	The struggle continues.
	Now, he commented on this.
	This is what we were talking about earlier, and you brought up, actually, which is the AP announcement the night before.
	He had a few things, choice words.
	Okay.
	Your response to AP and NBC calling the Democratic nomination for Hillary Clinton on the eve of the largest primary in the United States, in your state, in California?
	It really is an example of mass media genuflecting to elites within the Democratic Party.
	That's one way of putting it.
	Or you could just say, fucking lies!
	...within the Democratic Party, in this case, superdelegates.
	Those delegates were not elected for the purpose.
	Some of them are lobbyists for tobacco companies and so forth.
	And it's a pattern where AP and NBC and the major media outlets, they've been clueless for more than a year about what the Bernie Sanders campaign is all about.
	They thought that progressives could not mount an effective presidential campaign.
	And I think it is de facto voter suppression.
	And more and more people are recognizing that kind of media manipulation as exactly that, efforts to manipulate.
	Do you think that it's perhaps the reason why everyone fell in step?
	And the sequence I saw is AP first, then CNN came.
	And the way CNN puts it is AP is declaring.
	So it's very easy to do that.
	And AP really, you know, first of all, let's know what AP is.
	Very few people understand AP.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Yes.
	AP is the Associated Press...
	AP is a club of newspapers that are members of the AP. And generally speaking, they pick a story from one of the newspapers and then they put it on the wire and it goes everywhere.
	And they have very little original reporting.
	It's almost always from somebody else's reporting.
	In fact, a couple of friends of mine who are in the newspaper business often bitch about the AP because they don't get any money back.
	There's no real money.
	No, AP is really...
	You want AP to do...
	I remember this.
	You want AP to do a blurb, and even if it's one paragraph, it'll show up in 500 publications.
	Right.
	It's not really great for journalism.
	It's great for announcing the new iPhone.
	Well, that's for sure.
	So the AP, when they do something like what this guy did, which is original reporting, it's pretty odd.
	It doesn't really...
	Something's behind it because it's not something they do normally unless someone newspaper had done this story and he picked it up and took credit for it, which is also possible.
	Anyway, so go on.
	Well, yeah, what I was going to say is, it appears to me that, could it be the reason why everyone is afraid to really push back, and even democracy now, I mean, please, give me a break, but really to push back and say, this is an outrage, is that for fear of advertising dollars being pulled back from the Clinton campaign, or the Democrats moving forward?
	Do you think that's why they don't do it?
	I don't think so.
	What are they?
	They're just assholes?
	This is crazy.
	It's simple.
	It's not just assholes.
	It's lazy assholes.
	And they like Clinton, so they're amenable to this.
	They want her to win.
	It's messed up.
	They don't know why.
	They think it's cool.
	I honestly believe this.
	I think it was the same way with Obama to some extent.
	In fact, probably to a bigger extent.
	They think it's cool to get rid of this.
	We have never had a woman president.
	Let's have one.
	And Hillary's fine.
	And okay, maybe there's some corruption.
	But so what?
	And I also think that the CIA, and I hate to bring them into it, but Steve...
	CBS is the lead on some of these stories.
	And CBS just did almost a hagiography on Brennan on 60 Minutes recently with Scott Pelley, who's the head guy at CBS. He's the anchor, and he did the story.
	I mean, it's ridiculous.
	And it's so obvious to anybody who's read the Carl Bernstein material about the media and the agency.
	But when this came out...
	Sorry, finish your thought.
	Well, I'm just going to say that there's a lot of pressure on these papers.
	These papers are dupes.
	They're not doing their job.
	They don't care.
	The news organizations don't care to ask the simple question or even bring up what Debbie Wasserman Schultz brought up on the Rachel Maddow show.
	They don't...
	No, fine.
	Hillary's in.
	Yeah.
	Let's just go with that and shut up.
	But when this hit...
	And I don't get political ads often here in Austin, because we're all kind of, you know, everything's all sewn up, I guess.
	But, so, right after that announcement, and this will be a little entremant, the first...
	Real political attack ad against Clinton showed up on my TV. I don't know if you've seen this one where they intermingle Hillary with Bill.
	Have you seen this?
	No.
	I've seen they do very few.
	Let's start off with this premise so we'll know this for the next few months.
	California is in the pockets of the Democrats.
	They are not going to waste any money advertising in California to the detriment of California media.
	You'd think the media would get a clue and try to maybe shake things up a little bit.
	Yeah, make it a little complicated.
	No, no.
	Do anything to get some money, but they're getting no money.
	Dumb.
	Dumbos.
	It's very stupid.
	I've seen this in publishing all my life.
	So this is intermingled.
	It's video of Hillary and Bill, and it's historic video.
	So it's historic video of Bill and current audio of Hillary about emails.
	It's just great.
	But I want to say one thing.
	We turned over everything.
	I want you to listen to me.
	I did not.
	I did not.
	I did not send classified material.
	Not a single time.
	And I did not receive.
	Never.
	Any material that was marked or designated classified.
	I never told anybody to lie.
	That's all I could say.
	These allegations are false.
	I don't know how it works digitally at all.
	The American Alpac is responsible for the content of this message.
	It's cute.
	Yeah, very cute.
	I like it.
	That's a good one.
	Well, let's go back to this Solomon guy.
	I want to do extreme work clips with Amy.
	Yeah.
	Let's listen to this.
	This clip is called Bernie Guy, and this is Solomon talking about Hillary's real...
	Yes, well, they've praised each other.
	They've praised each other's policies.
	Henry Kissinger and Hillary Clinton have publicly lauded each other's policies.
	And I agree with the journalist at Consortium News, formerly at Newsweek and Associated Press, Robert Perry, who's documented in great detail that Hillary Clinton's policies, her advocacies for foreign intervention Are essentially very similar to what we call neocon policies that prevailed under the presidency of George W. Bush.
	It's now just called liberal interventionism.
	It's now called Responsibility to Protect, or R2P. But the bottom line is the same.
	What was that?
	R2P? What was that?
	Yeah, that's another little zinger that's out there we have to start watching.
	What is it saying for?
	R2P, Responsibility to Protect.
	Huh, okay, good one to write down.
	Responsibility to Protect, or R2P. But the bottom line is the same.
	So I just think we need to have a single standard of evaluating the advocacy and policies of presidential candidates.
	It is really fair to say that Hillary Clinton has advanced through her words, through her deeds as Secretary of State, Policies of continual U.S. military intervention and de facto perpetual war.
	So I think we ought to debate that.
	Do we support that or not?
	Do we go silent about it or not?
	This brings me to my second political attack ad against Hillary Clinton, which is another beauty, this time mixing up Trump and classic Hillary from the 90s.
	We do not want to do anything to encourage more illegal immigration into this country.
	We have to stop the inflow of illegals coming into our country.
	Mexican government's policies are pushing migration north.
	The Mexican government is much smarter, much sharper, much more cunning, and they send the bad ones over because they don't want to pay for them, they don't want to take care of them.
	Look, I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent Illegal immigrants from coming in.
	We will build a wall.
	It will do what it's supposed to do.
	Keep illegal immigrants out.
	If they've committed transgressions of whatever kind, they should be obviously deported.
	And some of these people are causing tremendous problems.
	All you have to do is look at the crime wave.
	If I'm elected, they're going to be out of there day one.
	I voted for border security and some of it was a fence.
	I don't think we ever called it a wall.
	Maybe in some places it was a wall.
	We're going to have a border.
	It's going to be a real border.
	You know, secure our borders with technology, personnel, physical barriers if necessary.
	We need to have tougher employer sanctions.
	We have a country.
	We have to have borders.
	We have borders.
	We have to have laws.
	We either have a country or we don't.
	Ruh-roh.
	Wow.
	Who put that one together?
	Now, I don't...
	This did not have a disclaimer, so this may just be a viral thing that was put out there, probably by Trump.
	It's great!
	No, I don't think so.
	I think that's way too advanced.
	That's one of the super PACs that has a research budget.
	Well, I haven't seen it on TV. I only saw this online.
	It's a good one.
	I'll say.
	I'm going to play the last Solomon clip because this is the one that I think...
	It really has to eat at the Democrats, although I always remember what my dad said to me when I was a little kid.
	He said that the Democrats are the war party and the Republicans are the depression party.
	That was the rules back in the day.
	Meaning Republicans give us depression or what is the idea?
	They work through...
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	I'll take it.
	I never really asked for much of an explanation.
	Maybe they're better in a depression.
	I have no idea.
	I'll take it.
	But this is Bernie.
	Clinton is a pro-war candidate.
	Bernie.
	I got it.
	Since when do advocates for nonviolence and peace go silent when Hillary Clinton is an advocate for perpetual war?
	There are people in Libya, in Iraq, in Syria who are suffering grievously because of policies not only in the past that she's advanced, but ones that she's prescribing for the future.
	Since when do we go silent when Hillary Clinton affectionately praises and describes Henry Kissinger as her friend.
	Now, let's be clear.
	Hillary Clinton is a pro-war candidate.
	Yes!
	We know that.
	Hold on, where's my favorite clip?
	Hold on, hold on.
	My favorite clip from her.
	So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
	Yes, we came, we saw, we died.
	What do you have anything to do with your vote?
	And now the emails are showing that this was really Hillary's war.
	And that she sent an email to the staff thanking it.
	No, actually, Anne-Marie.
	What, the Libya war?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, thanks.
	We turned POTUS around on this one.
	Good work, everybody.
	Oh my god, because Judy got on PBS. Are we on a first name basis with her now?
	Well, I just have it listed on here as Judy.
	Okay, Judy, yeah.
	I think Judy's a good name for her.
	It's easier to say Woodruff.
	Yeah, what do you have on Judy?
	PB, now you have to listen to this because this is what you just said.
	It's contradicted by this.
	You'll get the biggest kick out of this.
	This is a little longer because you asked a couple questions, but it's worth listening.
	This is PBS with Judy grilling Hillary.
	First she grills her about the foundation and then she brings in Libya and you're going to love this.
	What Donald Trump is saying, as I think you know, that he's going to make a major speech early next week.
	He says he's going to detail how you, as Secretary of State, that there were conflicts of interest while the Clinton Foundation was doing business with foreign countries while you were in office, that the Foundation benefited personally from this.
	He's going to talk about, he said, millions of dollars being exchanged.
	Is this something you're worried about?
	Is the foundation something you need to sever you and your family from completely if you're elected?
	I am not worried about this.
	I mean, this is just more of the same recycled attacks that people like Donald Trump have been making against us for a long time.
	There's no factual basis to it.
	That's been proven time and time again.
	I can't stop someone from retreading arguments that have been disproved over and over again.
	He can say whatever he wants to.
	He can run whatever campaign he wants to.
	So I'm not going to respond to his personal attacks.
	That's something that, you know, he can choose to do.
	I'm going to respond, however, to the attacks that he makes on women and immigrants and Muslims and people with disabilities and POWs and federal judges and the list keeps growing.
	Dogs with three legs?
	Mr.
	Clinton, one question on foreign policy.
	You were described in a recent acclaimed book by Mark Landler as being the, quote, house hawk in the Clinton war cabinet.
	And we know that you, and you've talked about this, you encouraged the president to intervene in Libya in 2011.
	Recently, President Obama said his worst mistake in office was probably failing to plan for the day after What he thought was the right thing to do in intervening there.
	How do you see your responsibility in that?
	Well, first of all, it's important to remember where we were and why the president made the decision he did, because this was a presidential decision.
	You know, I wish I had known about this clip before.
	I bet I could have done another Hillary, exact same, you know, two Hillarys together, same text, which sounds like this.
	I have faith in the American people that they will make the right choice here.
	This was a...
	You should mention what you just played was two different Hillary clips overlaid.
	Yes.
	Two different Hillary clips overlaid where she has the same cadence, says the same thing.
	I'm pretty sure, because this was kind of like a...
	A junket.
	I like when she just threw him under the bus, though.
	I think that was funny, because what you just said, you know, Hillary's bragging about...
	Sure, no, she sent it right back to him.
	Of course she did.
	Of course.
	She doesn't want that.
	She knows what's...
	She should appreciate that.
	She knows what's in the email.
	I appreciate it.
	But just listen to the same questions, the same talking points, almost to the T with Anderson Pooper.
	Trump has said he's clearly going to be focusing on the Clinton Foundation.
	Last night he said, and I quote, the Russians, the Saudis, the Chinese all gave money to the foundation and, quote, got favorable treatment in return.
	The foundation has obviously raised huge sums of money for worthy causes.
	It's always not been transparent, though.
	Tens of millions of dollars.
	I love that.
	It's always not been transparent.
	Yeah, that's correct, Pooper.
	We know he didn't mean that.
	He meant to say it hasn't always been transparent.
	But the truth comes out.
	The foundation has obviously raised huge sums of money for worthy causes.
	It's always not been transparent, though.
	Tens of millions of dollars have come from a Canadian partnership whose donors can remain secret.
	There was a large donation from Algeria that wasn't submitted to the State Department for approval.
	Gee, you'd think that someone would do some investigative work, like, I don't know, Charles Ortel or something.
	Maybe someone could look into that, pooper.
	If you're president, will your husband divest himself of any association with the foundation?
	Well, Anderson, you know, we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it, but let me just try to set the record straight.
	We had absolutely overwhelming disclosure.
	Were there, you know, one or two instances that slipped through the cracks?
	Yes, but was the overwhelming...
	They haven't even done a properly audited financial report since the inception of the Clinton Foundation.
	Since its inception.
	My goodness.
	She's great, though.
	I mean, she just lies through her teeth.
	She's got everything, but these...
	Now you can see the questions were all scripted.
	You're asking this.
	He asked it exactly the same way.
	I think maybe even the Libya things.
	You know, one or two instances that slipped through the cracks, yes.
	But was the overwhelming amount of anything that anybody gave the foundation disclosed?
	Absolutely.
	And I'm proud of the foundation.
	Was the overwhelming amount of what anyone gave to the foundation?
	I don't know.
	Does that mean that there's still a little left over?
	Was it all?
	Did you report all money that was donated or just an overwhelming amount?
	Because if you're looking at a couple hundred million dollars a year...
	Yeah, you're right.
	What she did, she gave her the out.
	She can say, I never said all the money.
	Nope.
	Nope.
	The overwhelming majority.
	Amount of anything that anybody...
	Hold on.
	Back a little bit more.
	Two instances that slipped through the cracks, yes, but was the overwhelming amount of anything that anybody gave the foundation disclosed?
	Absolutely.
	Wow, I can't believe Pupur didn't jump on that.
	That's so easy.
	And I'm proud of the foundation.
	I'm proud of the work that it has done.
	Nine million people have lower-cost HIV, AIDS, medicine because of the work of the Clinton Foundation and my husband.
	Okay, that's a hundred million.
	What do you do with the rest?
	We have women across the country from Latin America.
	We know Bill has women.
	And Africa, across the world, I mean, getting good jobs and being able to support themselves for the first time.
	Here in our country, we have better food and nutrition.
	She says we have women across the country, and then she corrects herself.
	Yeah.
	She says Africa, Asia.
	She actually corrects her.
	I mean across the world or something.
	Let's listen.
	Go back a little bit more.
	Work of the Clinton Foundation and my husband.
	We have women across the country from Latin America and Africa.
	I think because she said across the country and they should realize Latin America is not across the country.
	Maybe that's something like that.
	...and my husband.
	We have women across the country, from Latin America and Africa, across the world, I mean, getting good jobs and being able to support themselves for the first time here in our country.
	How is the Clinton Foundation helping with that?
	Getting good jobs?
	And what's a good job?
	Low jobs?
	Yeah, thank you.
	We have better food and nutrition that is helping young kids.
	A classic John C. Dvorak zinger.
	In America, be healthier and not fight obesity.
	We have so much that we're proud of.
	We're getting help.
	Isn't that Michelle Obama's job?
	How can the Clinton Foundation now claim all of a sudden?
	The Clinton Foundation's got to do with obesity.
	Yeah.
	Obesity.
	We have so much that we're proud of, and I will put that up against any of the innuendo and accusation coming from Donald Trump, because the work that has been done has garnered accolades and appreciation from every corner of the world.
	Anyway, yeah, blah, blah, blah.
	You're right.
	I'm done.
	I'm done with her, too.
	Same answer.
	Very good.
	Just before we move on to another important topic.
	Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
	Yeah, I'm trying to follow everybody.
	So Gary Johnson.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah.
	You know.
	Too much.
	This is an example of an older guy smoking too much dope.
	Now, he's my age.
	He said he's stoned.
	But he's my age, right?
	Yeah.
	Isn't he 50?
	I'm not saying anything more.
	Why?
	What is that?
	No, but hold on.
	All right.
	No, he's from 53, so he's 10 years older than me.
	He's 63?
	No, he's from 1953.
	So he's 63.
	That's not old.
	Okay, ageist prick.
	That's what I said.
	It's not old.
	Oh, I thought you said that's old.
	I'm sorry.
	Apologies.
	So, you know, we're still looking for...
	Now, I saw the president.
	I should have clipped it.
	This morning, they're previewing...
	This is all part of the Ministry of Truth.
	They're previewing Jimmy Kimmel on...
	Sorry, President Obama on Fallon this evening.
	So they already have previews running.
	Everyone's playing it.
	The president actually sits there and says, we need to strengthen our two-party system.
	Wow, man.
	Like, no.
	Like, no.
	No, we don't have a two-party system.
	You want a two-party system.
	That, to me, was very insulting.
	Very insulting.
	Particularly because we have a female nominated for the Green Party.
	It was Jill Stein, I think, who initially was the first.
	That's why I say...
	No, actually, the first one ever was Shirley Chisholm.
	And what party was she with?
	Years and years ago.
	And then we also had Cynthia McKinney for the Libertarian Party.
	Plenty.
	So it's okay to slip in for a major party, but it's kind of chicken shit towards women.
	I mean, hey, there's a long line of women who have really tried to do this, and I'm very proud of what all of they have done.
	I was pretty hopeful about Gary Johnson, although I refuse to vote for anyone who's a member of a party.
	And he now, instead of independent, he's a libertarian candidate.
	And he's insane.
	Former Governor Johnson, the people coming across the border illegally are often not the best.
	This is his strategy for...
	I'll tell you what his strategy is.
	And I don't know who told him, but it's probably sitting around with a bunch of his dudes.
	You got a great one, Matt.
	Do you know how you do it?
	You got to get Trump to tweet about you.
	Yeah, I know what I'll do.
	I'll say some outrageous stuff and maybe he'll tweet about me.
	That's the best that Mexico has to offer.
	That isn't true, Chris.
	That is what is so misunderstood.
	The people coming across the border are people that just want jobs.
	The jobs are there, but they can't get the job.
	But there are criminals in Trump as well.
	Absolutely.
	So how about making a system whereby it would be easy to get a work visa, a moving line to get across the border, having a work visa, so that the people crossing the border illegally, that the Border Patrol would actually be able to identify those people, as opposed to mothers with children that are actually waiting across the Rio Grande because of jobs that exist and they can't get over to take advantage of.
	But is Trump wrong when he says they also send the worst, not the best?
	There are rapists and murderers that come as well.
	Absolutely untrue, statistically.
	But you have the cases like the one in San Francisco, not only did he give a bash to sanctuary cities, but showed that this guy had been kicked out, he comes back in, he kills somebodies.
	Statistics.
	You know, you always have the worst.
	And I don't want to in any way defend the worst, but statistically, legal, illegal immigrants commit far less crime than U.S. citizens.
	That's statistically speaking.
	Are you ready for Donald Trump, once you're in this thing and he recognizes you, to give you a big punch in the nose for calling him a racist?
	I think that they've already started coming.
	So, you know, Donald...
	That's an interesting rebuttal you have there, Governor.
	He kisses the camera.
	I don't know how it's going to go over.
	That's his strategy.
	Kissing the camera.
	Yeah, way to go, Gary.
	I'm telling you.
	He's stoned.
	Smoking dope when you're in your 60s.
	Not healthy.
	That's not true.
	You have no evidence to back that up.
	I'm just saying it, though.
	The evidence is right in front of me.
	It's him.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah.
	Good point.
	The jury will disregard my comment.
	Final one before we move into the next section of the Ministry of Truth.
	I have one more Hillary clip I do want to play with an analysis.
	Okay, I have a quickie.
	Kind of quickie.
	This is Stephanopoulos, who is, of course, a Clinton operative insider donated to the Clinton Foundation.
	Lovey-dovey-dovey.
	Yes, and listen to Hillary Clinton, how she circumvents answering the question about the Second Amendment, which I think is very important.
	Let's talk about the Second Amendment.
	As you know, Donald Trump has also been out on the stump talking about the Second Amendment, saying you want to abolish the Second Amendment.
	I know you reject that, but I want to ask you a specific question.
	Do you believe that an individual's right to bear arms is a constitutional right, that it's not linked to service in a militia?
	I think that for most of our history, there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment until the decision by the late Justice Scalia.
	And there was no argument until then that localities and states and the federal government I had a right, as we do with every amendment, to impose reasonable regulations.
	So I believe we can have common sense gun safety measures consistent with the Second Amendment.
	And in fact, what I have proposed is supported by 90 percent of the American people and more than 75 percent of responsible gun owners.
	So that is exactly what I think is Constitutionally permissible.
	And the Heller decision also does say there can be some restrictions, but that's not what I asked.
	I said, do you believe that their conclusion that an individual's right to bear arms is a constitutional right?
	If it is a constitutional right, then it, like every other constitutional right, is subject to reasonable regulations.
	And what people have done with that decision is to take it as far as they possibly can.
	Now, she just will not answer the question.
	No, she won't answer the question.
	But, just to show you how incredibly crappy our media is, our press, our journalists.
	Hold on.
	Now, we didn't spend any time on this because it was no surprise to us that a documentary about guns was rigged, you know, edited, falsified, faked.
	I said, you know, like, what?
	Big news.
	This is Katie Couric.
	This is the...
	She works for Yahoo.
	And I'll play the...
	It's like 20 seconds.
	I'll play it for you.
	But what happened after that is, to me, it was a lot more telling and interesting.
	But Katie Couric does a documentary about guns.
	And this was going to be the...
	This is the one.
	The most fair and balanced.
	And this is going to be the one that everyone's going to understand each other's opinion.
	And she had a number of gun owners and asked them a question.
	And they taped...
	The interviews, it was kind of one of these, you know, settings where there's a number of people in the room.
	She's asking questions.
	They answer.
	They taped the whole session.
	Smart idea if this ever happens to you.
	Yes.
	Always try to do that.
	But the way it was edited was she asked the question.
	You'll hear it in a moment.
	Then they just cut to faces close up of them.
	People looking around left and right.
	You know, like, oh, I don't know what to say.
	I don't know.
	And it's like eight seconds.
	And then the next shot is a close up of a revolver of the chamber.
	Pfft!
	Closing up, nice sound effect, nicely sweetened.
	So let's just hear the offending edit first.
	Let me ask you another question.
	If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?
	So, needless to say, journalistically, not such a great move.
	Funny, though.
	Yeah, funny.
	I was looking around, going, oh, I don't know what to say.
	Now, when that came out, when I heard about this, and this is at least a week old, I watched a documentary, and again, I didn't even think it was worth bringing up.
	I was like, okay, I see what they've done here.
	Now, listen to the journalist's Many who praise themselves as journalists on the Morning Joe show.
	Here's the entire...
	They got like 10 people on that show.
	They got this guy from that news desk.
	They got someone calling.
	And they got a lot of people.
	Let's see how the fine mainstream media journalistic angle is on this, huh?
	She asked a question.
	Then there's like an eight or nine second pause where it's just shots of this audience of gun rights advocates looking like they were stumped by the question.
	Cut to a gun.
	No.
	Unfortunately for the director of the film, the full tape was produced by this group that showed them giving long, well-thought-out, ten-minute response to the question.
	Examples of how to prevent guns from falling into the hands of guns.
	I mean, there are legitimate arguments in the debate.
	Over background checks and gun ownership.
	Yeah, did you see it?
	I haven't seen the clip, but I've read about it.
	Oh, it's stunning.
	How about you guys?
	Gene?
	Yeah, no, I've read about it, Joe.
	I haven't seen the clip, but it sounds like the kind of thing that you don't do, uh, journalistically.
	I mean, you simply don't edit things to make them misleading.
	I haven't seen, but I'll say this is exactly what we don't need sort of plotting against them.
	You know, I mean, this is the goodwill goes right down the toilet when you're trying to have a conversation.
	Chuck, have you seen it?
	Only the clip and the controversial part of the clip.
	I have not watched the whole documentary.
	Can you believe this?
	No one has seen it.
	They're all pontificated.
	They have too much trouble.
	They've got to go to their...
	There's parties.
	Chardonnay.
	What's his name?
	Meet the Press.
	What's his name?
	Chuck.
	Of all issues, if you're a part of something like this, I can tell you, when I deal with certain issues that I know are polarizing on the left or the right, that just fire somebody up, you look at it seven times, eight times, nine times, you just thoroughly scrub it What an unfortunate choice of words.
	Yeah, that's what you guys do.
	You just scrub it so no one gets pissed off.
	So the advertisers don't get pissed off.
	So whoever is not supposed to get pissed off doesn't get pissed off.
	You just scrub it, don't you, Chuck Todd?
	You just scrub it because you don't want something small to take away if you've got a larger point to make.
	Yes.
	All right.
	No one's seen it, but yet they know exactly how to scrub it.
	Now, speaking of scrubbing, very, very...
	Before you go on, I do have one clip.
	Since you brought this up, I saw my Hillary clip.
	I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
	Yes, go, go, go.
	But since you brought up, you had Stephanopoulos.
	I was watching the Samantha Bee program over the week.
	I don't like that show.
	And who is the, you know, the used to be...
	She's obviously...
	She's not really a Hillary supporter.
	She doesn't seem to support anybody, but she's very nasty, mean.
	She does a lot of that Katie Couric type editing.
	Well, yes, but for humor.
	Yeah.
	So she found an old clip from 71515, which is just less than a year ago, on the Stephanopoulos, one of the Stephanopoulos shows, with Stephanopoulos and one of the woman analysts going actually apoplectic in laughter over...
	Ellison, the guy, the congressman from, I guess he's from Michigan, the Muslim guy, who makes the following comment, and then listen to these two.
	Anybody from the Democratic side of the fence who thinks that, who's terrified of the possibility of President Trump, better vote, better get active, better get involved, because this man has got some momentum, and we better be ready for the fact that he might be leading the Republican ticket next.
	I know you don't.
	I can't believe that, but I want to go on.
	Wow.
	The two of them went nuts.
	The reason this clip is important Because of what you're talking about, which is the bull crap that we're getting fed by the media and the bull crap that we have about Hillary winning the whole thing when it's not really over, is the absolute lack of, it seems to me, Ellison, who is a congressman, I think he's in touch with his public.
	And he saw this.
	He saw the possibility of Trump.
	These guys, these guys who were supposed to be informing us, this is the mainstream media, the mainstream media is supposed to be informing us about About what's going on to keep things...
	That is, in fact, the charter of stations and networks that use the public airwaves.
	It doesn't necessarily hold true for cable, but if you have a license like ABC, CBS, NBC, you have to work in the public interest.
	And if these people are so out of touch, they can't see something that a congressman can see, and they're the ones giving us, they're the ones that are supposed to be telling us what the hell's going on.
	I'm reminded of one of my complaints about the newspapers who couldn't see their own demise ahead of them because they're just blind.
	I just don't see why anyone can trust anybody in the mainstream media.
	They're idiots.
	They don't know what they're doing.
	Well, they don't care.
	They mainly just don't care.
	It's not worth playing.
	I think a lot of them believe they're sincere.
	I think maybe they do care.
	Well, there was something interesting that happened, which I'm not going to play.
	I didn't clip it.
	Maybe you've seen it.
	MSNBC, it just kind of shows the balance between the experts.
	So they cut to Bernie Sanders.
	He's talking, and there's a shot framed, and the woman reporting.
	Bernie's over her right shoulder, and she's talking about it.
	Actually, I thought she did kind of a good move.
	But she says, alright, let's listen to what he's saying.
	She steps out of frame, and that's when the cameraman should have pushed in and gotten a medium shot.
	Instead, he forgets that they're live, and he says, what the fuck did you do that for?
	You ruined my shot!
	To the reporter.
	It kind of shows you that everyone has disdain.
	Even their colleagues have disdain for these people.
	Give a crap.
	They're idiots.
	And the camera guys know it.
	I'm sorry, photographers.
	The photographers know it.
	Camera guys is fine.
	Camera guys.
	So now we move into the cover-up, which we've got a lot of stuff going on here.
	This is the cover-up that first started with the edited tape at the State Department.
	Wow, man.
	They really don't want anyone to think that they were lying about, Iran negotiations going on before any official date that the public has been told.
	And, of course, we have the video, the piece was edited out of the State Department video record where Jen Psaki lied and said, no, there was absolutely, she lied about Victoria Nuland lying that there had been no contact prior to the official date.
	This came up in a different way with the transcript from the White House press session with Josh Earnest.
	And what's interesting to me about this is that these guys claim that everything's on the transcripts, even if it gets missing from the video.
	Right.
	In this case, the question was asked, you know, did anyone lie?
	And Josh Earnest says, no, Kevin.
	But the transcript reflected inaudible.
	So first, we're going to get the intro from Byron Tau.
	I think he's from Fox.
	And he is going to pose this question to Josh about how come the transcript didn't reflect what you actually said.
	Josh, ABC, before the weekend, the White House scratched the line from a briefing transcript because reportedly you said it was inaudible.
	I was in that briefing and I recall the question and it seemed pretty audible to me.
	The video also makes it...
	I heard what was being said.
	Is the White House going to restore that line?
	Well, Byron, I think what was true at the time is that there was a little crosstalk.
	And, you know, fortunately, your conscientious colleagues at ABC News, recognizing the discrepancy, asked me about it the next day.
	And I had an opportunity to explain exactly what had occurred, and that's what I did.
	We've not had two instances of both the White House and the State Department scratching things from the public record.
	I understand you're acknowledging that there was some crosstalk in the White House situation, but both have been about the Iran deal.
	Byron, I don't think it's fair for you to say that.
	Now notice the journalist is saying, hey, this is kind of interesting.
	Coincidence?
	Yeah, this is kind of interesting.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	Both of the records that have been scrapped deal with this lie about the Iran deal.
	What's going on?
	I don't think it's fair for you to say that they were scratched.
	Well, you can't say they were scratched.
	That's not fair.
	That's actually light.
	How about censored?
	How about withheld?
	How about not transparent?
	Anything that's scrapped is like...
	As soon as you mentioned Iran, you jump right in to say, it's not fair, it's not fair.
	Exactly.
	That's what I heard too, man.
	That's exactly what I heard.
	From the public record, I understand you're acknowledging that there was some crosstalk in the White House situation, but both have been about the Iran deal.
	Byron, I don't think it's for you to say that they were scratched.
	I don't think that's an example.
	It wasn't transcribed.
	In the State Department case, it was removed.
	Right.
	Here, it was not transcribed.
	So I think it's important to note the distinction there between what was apparently...
	An effort at the State Department to make a specific decision to remove a portion of the video.
	And that's obviously something that I've said is inconsistent with what you'd expect from the whole goal of engaging in a Public briefing.
	The situation that you're citing is related to a specific issue with a transcript that relates to two words.
	So I think you'd be hard-pressed to make the case that there's a link between the two.
	Okay, so he's saying you'd be hard-pressed to say there's a link between two words that were scrapped, scrubbed, removed from the record by saying, ah, we couldn't hear it.
	Now, hard case to make.
	Well, let's listen to the question and Ernest's original answer.
	This is from May 6th.
	I did enhance his answer a little bit, just so you can hear it, but I'm pretty sure if you're doing a transcript and you can't hear a word, maybe you enhance it yourself.
	Can you state categorically that no senior official in this administration has ever lied publicly about any aspect of the Iran nuclear?
	Now, did you hear it?
	Yeah.
	He said no, Kevin.
	Right?
	I just heard the no.
	He actually says, no, Kevin.
	You've heard it through Skype.
	I heard it through Skype.
	I heard it.
	Yeah.
	No, Kevin, he says.
	No, Kevin.
	Now, Josh Ernest recognizes his mistake and starts to answer it in the proper way according to his binder.
	Can I re-ask you that question just for clarity?
	The question was, can you categorically state that no senior administration official in this administration has ever lied publicly about any aspect of the Iran nuclear deal?
	Byron, let me just state it in the affirmative.
	This is a great way to do it.
	Let me state that in the affirmative.
	I don't know.
	So, is it true or not?
	Byron, let me just say that in the affirmative.
	At first he said no, which meant somebody lied.
	Yeah.
	And so they had to scratch that because, oh my god, I actually told the truth.
	Yeah.
	And then he went back to say, let me say that in the affirmative, but...
	What does that mean?
	Does that mean yes?
	That somebody lied?
	Listen to it.
	Let me just say that in the affirmative, which is that the administration has made a forceful and fact-based, accurate, truthful case.
	This is so beautiful.
	I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that this statement is filled with holes.
	Byron, let me just say that in the affirmative, which is that the administration has made a forceful and...
	A forceful?
	Fact-based.
	Fact-based.
	Accurate, truthful case.
	Accurate, truthful case.
	Wow.
	Case.
	Yeah.
	It's a case.
	Thank you.
	It's a case.
	You're absolutely right.
	They made a case based upon facts, not all the facts.
	But they made a case.
	They didn't answer the question.
	Good one.
	Accurate, truthful case about how the American people and the international community benefit.
	Yeah, he's just saying we made the case.
	How they benefited.
	They made a case about how they benefited.
	It's a forceful and fact-based, accurate, truthful case about how the American people and the international community benefit from an international agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
	And what I think is a much more worthy endeavor is to scrutinize the claims of those individuals who criticize the Iran deal.
	Yeah, right.
	Okay, fine.
	Move it over to Donald Trump.
	Right.
	So he says, we have made a case.
	So he doesn't answer the question.
	But he uses all these truthful and fact-based words.
	That's really good what he did there.
	That's dynamite.
	He's better than a lot of these guys.
	That was a good one.
	So this comes up the next day because, of course, these are not satisfactory answers.
	And this is a colleague of Byron who now brings up this scrubbed transcript once more.
	Lastly, I want to return, with some regret, to the subject of the controversy over the official White House transcript of the press briefing of May 9.
	Just by way of recapping, the controversy relates to the fact that my Fox News colleague Kevin Cork asked you whether you could say categorically that no senior administration official had ever lied publicly about the Iran nuclear deal.
	ABC News, Bloomberg News, Jason Chaffetz, many others, this reporter included, state categorically that the video shows, unmistakably, that you answered, no, Kevin.
	And, in fact, Mr.
	Court gave you a second chance during that briefing to answer that question because the answer was so striking he thought you misunderstood it.
	You said yesterday that there was a little crosstalk James, I don't write the transcripts.
	Obviously, we have the staff.
	Of course I do, James.
	Of course I do.
	Here's the point.
	I've been quite clear about exactly what our position on this has been.
	The administration has worked very hard to present a forceful, fact-based, truthful case about the way that the United States and the rest of the international community benefits from Iran not obtaining a nuclear weapon.
	And the truth is, there are a lot of Republicans who oppose the deal, who said a whole bunch of things about the Iran deal that was wrong.
	And I don't know if they were mistaken.
	I don't know if they were naive.
	I don't know if they were poorly briefed.
	I don't know if they were lying.
	They were wrong.
	I leave to them to defend exactly the position that they have taken.
	And I think I've presented factually, repeatedly, exactly the case that we have made.
	My question was limited to the matter of the transcript and why, if you're asserting there was crosstalk that made something inaudible, the word inaudible didn't appear at the appropriate place.
	I don't know.
	Final question on this.
	Essentially, Josh, what you're doing is you're standing there at the podium and you're maintaining that you did not say that which it is plainly discernible.
	James, I think what I'm saying is that there have been three follow-ups now to this question, and I've answered it quite directly exactly what our position is.
	So, if you'd like me to do it again, I can do it again.
	I guess the final question is...
	Stop.
	Just wait, wait.
	Kicker.
	Kicker.
	Ten seconds.
	Ten seconds worth it.
	I can do it again.
	I guess the final question is, are you willing to review that video one more time, Josh, with an eye to possibly amending it as it should be amended?
	No.
	Mike?
	No.
	No, I'm not going to do that.
	No, I'm not.
	Well, he made a mistake at the beginning of the question.
	The guys asked him specifically, did you not understand, you know, when you said this, no, did you not understand the question?
	And that's when he should have said, yeah, I didn't understand the question, so I, you know, okay, I kind of screwed that part up, and then I tried to answer the best I could after that.
	But it was like, it was an awkward question, I didn't understand it right away.
	Boom!
	Yeah, there was no crosstalk.
	He kept saying, oh, there's crosstalk.
	These guys can't do that.
	No, no, just liars.
	They're just a bunch of liars, and they just keep digging deeper holes.
	And now we go to the State Department, where this, and of course, we're still investigating whether this is a cover-up of Hillary Clinton's plane crash in Iran.
	Or reported, purported plane crash.
	So now this goes back to the State Department, where we're still not done with the video.
	It seems that some words Mark Toner spoke, because they're really mixing up.
	They're bringing everybody in.
	No one person does two days in a row.
	It's Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau, it's Mark Toner, it's Kirby.
	They're mixing everybody up, probably to confuse them.
	But listen to what we discovered.
	Yes, sir.
	You said that the Office of the Legal Advisor was continuing to investigate, but I thought that last week you had said that you would run into a dead end and that if somebody else brought you information, you would look at it.
	So the investigation continues?
	So you're absolutely right.
	I did say that last week, which is why I came out and offered this change, if you will, in our assessment.
	And that is basically because the secretary said he wants to dive deeper into this, look more into what happened, and try to get to the bottom of what happened.
	And so...
	What our Office of Legal Advisor did was go back and look at what are other areas where there could be information.
	And again, some of that is emails, and we talked about that last week.
	So again, we're trying to collect emails that are pertinent or relevant to the issue at hand and go through those systematically.
	Okay, systematically.
	Well, the State Department has a bit of a problem with emails.
	There's too many emails and too many FOIA requests.
	We go to our buddy, Matt Lee, who should resign from the Associated Press, quite honestly.
	I want him to have a job, but he should be outraged by what happened.
	But he still is the best reporter on the beat.
	And I have an analysis once we hear the answer to the release of Hillary Clinton's TPP emails.
	Based on the information in the original article about this FOIA request, this is a very broad request.
	I think it asks for any correspondence sent over a four-year period between 2009 to 2013 between the staff.
	The office of the secretary and the staff in the USTR, US Trade Representative's Office, that mentions TPP. So that's going to be a broad spectrum of emails.
	And so it's not just related to Secretary Clinton's emails.
	Given the scope of that, and the fact, frankly, that we've got, as many of you are tired of hearing me say, but we received approximately 22,000 FOIA requests in the last fiscal year.
	There's a lot to go through.
	So it's not simply an estimate that we're throwing out a date like that.
	It's based on our best estimation right now.
	But do you have any idea of what the universe is of emails that you would have to go through?
	I mean, is it like every single email that was sent between here and USTR that would have to be looked at?
	I mean, that is the, again, that's the parameters.
	But that is a smaller universe than every single email that everyone sent.
	But it's over a four-year period, and it's on a very hot-button issue at the time.
	And the date given, I mean, does November 31st exist as a date in the State Department calendar?
	Or what's the deal with that?
	I mean, is that one of these weird alter universe kind of things?
	No, look, I assume whoever gave that date meant to say the last day of November.
	So, in fact, the correct date should have been the 30th of November?
	Yeah.
	That's right.
	That was pretty funny where they released it as, oh, we'll have the emails November 31st.
	And if you just do a Google search, it's probably not possible now, but when that first came out, everyone just copied that.
	Oh, email's coming out November 31st.
	There is no November 31st.
	Now, I know why this is happening.
	Because, come on, select from date start, you know, four years ago to date end...
	From field email, clintonemail.com, you know, content, select content, TPP, and you've got a pretty good start.
	You know why they're not releasing this?
	Because the UK doesn't want anyone to see what Hillary Clinton is going to do or how she really feels about trade deals.
	They're waiting for Brexit.
	Somebody made a call and said, whatever you do, don't let that crap come out before the Brexit vote.
	Oh, they're worried that it's going to make people want to leave.
	Yes.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, that's a good catch.
	Absolutely.
	It's got to be that.
	There's no reason.
	The Brexit vote is like this month, so...
	It's June 23rd.
	I'll take a quick detour on that just for a second.
	Britain is extending the voter registration period for this month's referendum on EU membership.
	The move comes after a government website crashed following a last-minute surge in applications before Tuesday night's deadline.
	Several senior politicians and the Electoral Commission watchdog had earlier called for the deadline to be extended by 48 hours to midnight Thursday night into Friday morning.
	And the UK's Guardian newspaper reported thousands of postal votes from Britons in Germany may have got lost in the post after confusion about prepaid envelopes.
	Okay, so here's what I extrapolate from this report.
	They're afraid they don't have the votes.
	There was a server that crashed in an hour and a half.
	The Brexit or the Brexit stays?
	The stays.
	The stays are afraid they don't have the vote.
	We've seen this in Europe.
	When people vote and it's not what the elites want, do over!
	That's exactly right.
	Let me play.
	I have a Brexit clip since we're wandering away.
	Are you in on this that they don't have the votes and that's why they're trying to extend it?
	I would say they're fearful that they don't have the votes.
	Yes, fearful.
	Because right now it looks like there's about 2% the Brexit people have a 2% lead.
	But that could be, who knows?
	I thought this was meaningful.
	As soon as I heard this little clip, this is on Deutsche Welle, who's obviously not against the Brexit, but When I heard this at all, I didn't even think of this because this is the group of people in Great Britain that really run things and they don't want to break breakfast and it's kind of explained in this clip.
	Now, the City of London's financial sector is often referred to as one of Britain's most successful industries.
	Some 60% of all European headquarters of EU firms are based in the UK. Now, that's more than Germany, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands put together.
	Now, with that in mind, many EU citizens who work in the City of London are worried about what could happen to them in the case of a Brexit.
	The city of London is a melting pot.
	The financial heart of the British capital employs analysts from all over Europe.
	Would they need a visa if Britain leaves the EU? And banks here manage the accounts of British retirees living in Spain.
	Would they have to sell off their European properties?
	The spectre of a Brexit worries Gina Miller, asset manager in the city.
	It could be terrible for the city because there's so much going on in the city and we are seen as being one of the forefronts of financial services and being a leader in that sector.
	And if you look at all the modelling that's gone on, there will definitely be a huge impact.
	Many workers here are feeling nervous.
	The merger and acquisition activities so crucial to the world's largest financial center is down.
	Investment from abroad has declined too.
	Not a great outlook for this major sector of the British economy.
	It's very important.
	The City of London is really perhaps our most successful industry in the UK. Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm sure that's going to stop you.
	It goes on and on.
	And the City of London, we have to explain it again.
	Why don't you explain to some people?
	The City of London is its own entity.
	It's not London we're talking about.
	No, it has its own airport, has its own mayor, has its own fire and police department.
	It has its own financial structure.
	It's a little enclave within London called the City of London.
	Yeah.
	It has its own police.
	They have their own uniforms.
	It's a totally independent operation.
	And their drug dealers are a lot better.
	Much better connected.
	And these guys are the big shots in the banking world.
	Yeah.
	And a lot of Americans, as we heard from our former New York banker, all of his ex-Deutsche Bank buddies are all in the city of London setting up banking services, money services.
	Yeah, and the bankers run things.
	Hillary is their representative.
	She is their representative, isn't she?
	She is.
	And they're not going to let this Brexit happen.
	They're just not going to.
	It's not going to happen, which is what I've said all along.
	Now, before we go too far to Europe, I want to bring it back to the second email issue.
	You know, we could take a short break.
	No, no, I'll just wrap all this up.
	Just wrap it up.
	I still have my two Hillary clips.
	We'll take a break and we'll do your Hillary clips.
	Hey, you know what?
	This is our show.
	We can do whatever we want.
	We can do whatever we want, so continue with your little thing, because you do have a rap.
	Yeah, of course I'm rapping.
	Well, what's really beautiful is Matt Lee had more questions about emails, because really we want to have all emails from Hillary public.
	And I thought we had all of them, but no.
	No, we don't have anywhere near all of them, in particular when we want to have her staff, you know, her immediate staff.
	Uma Aberdeen, what's the, Anna Marie Goddard, whatever her name is.
	Anna Marie Goddard, is that her name?
	Cheryl Mills.
	Yeah, the whole little group there.
	Yeah.
	How long do you think the State Department has argued it will take before they have all of those FOIA requests completed for her emails?
	10 years.
	You guys say it's going to take 75 years?
	I actually did a little digging on this.
	75 years, everybody!
	You want to hear how this is explained?
	Oh, I'd love to.
	I mean, that is an incredible number.
	So I can't comment.
	I would ask you guys to look at the court filings that do provide the details on why we arrived at that figure.
	I mean, it's an enormous amount of emails, or rather...
	Sorry, it's an enormous amount of FOIA requests.
	So is it a lot of emails or not?
	No, just FOIA requests.
	And very complex.
	This stuff would be released sooner than 75 years, just under a regular record, wouldn't it?
	I mean, in relation to the United States, the volume, I mean, that's longer than most classifications last until.
	I mean, a lot of the stuff that's classified is for only 20 years.
	75 years?
	Seems...
	Again, I refer you to the court filing.
	It's a very broad range involving a number of people over a period of, I think, four years.
	And it's not an outlandish estimation, believe it or not.
	Mom?
	It's not outlandish.
	I mean, it just...
	I mean...
	I refer you to the court filing.
	It gives the rationale behind this estimate.
	Okay, well, you know what...
	Go over there.
	Go look over there.
	You know what I did.
	I went over and looked at the filing to understand how they arrived at this.
	Yeah, this is what we do on this show.
	Okay, highlighting.
	The State Department's initial attempt to identify responsive records indicated that, if unaltered, those requests would generate approximately 1.5 million pages of potentially responsive records.
	So they've done that work.
	And I'm always annoyed by the mixing up of...
	What was the request exactly?
	If it's for Hillary, she doesn't have that many documents with 1.5 million.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Now, this is about, they have 22,000 FOIA requests, and they say it's just too much.
	And this particular FOIA request, which I think was from International Business Times or maybe Judicial Watch, Now, here's the problem I have, and it's continuously mixed up, and the lawyers do it here.
	So, you know, when Hillary Clinton says, I've released 50,000 pages, that could be 10 emails.
	Now, I don't know how long your emails are.
	It seems verbose.
	Yeah.
	So, I'm going to say, when they do, when they make an attempt to identify responsive records, and they're doing that from Clinton, from Cheryl Mills, from Uma Abedin, from her staff, from her cronies there, you know, the kind of, the inner core, It generated 1.5 million pages.
	So that could be, you know...
	I don't believe that.
	Well, I'm just...
	We can't dispute what they're...
	This is a court file and we can't dispute it.
	It would take the State Department decades, it says, to process, review, redact, and if necessary, refer to other agencies for their review.
	Then here comes more explanation.
	Given the Department's current FOIA workload and the complexity of these documents, it can process about 500 pages a month.
	That seems pretty low.
	We got one person doing this?
	500 pages a month?
	That's like 10 pages a day?
	Yeah.
	Well, no, it's more like 12 to 20.
	Yeah.
	But let's say 15, 16.
	And it's pages.
	Are these full pages?
	Is it just one page with a little bit on it?
	It sounds like one person.
	You're right.
	Well, here it is.
	It's eight hours work.
	It would take 500 pages a month, meaning it would take approximately 16 and two-thirds years to complete the review of the Mills documents.
	33 and one-third year...
	To finish the review of this...
	The way they get the one-third in there is no significant number.
	Well, they're just dividing the amount of documents by 500.
	And then, you know, then divided by 12, or multiple, yeah, divided by 12.
	So, 33 and a third years to finish the review of the Sullivan documents, and 25 years to wrap up the review of the Kennedy documents, or 75 years in total without considering requests for the Paglio records.
	So, you know, and actually they have, they refer back to an earlier case, So they say, because of this, FOIA was enacted to shed light on the activities of the federal government, but it was not intended to, quote, reduce government agencies to full-time investigators on behalf of requesters.
	And they have a citation for that.
	Concluding that the agency need not comply with a FOIA request that would, quote, require the agency to locate, review, redact, and arrange for inspection a vast quantity of material, end quote.
	Accordingly, the D.C. Circuit has held that agencies need not comply with FOIA search requests that would impose an unreasonable burden on the agency, with a citation.
	The RNC's request for years' worth of emails from Mills, Sullivan, Kennedy, and Pagliano would impose just such an impermissible burden.
	And then the example holding that the CIA did not have to search for records on microfilm because the search would take approximately 3,675 hours at a cost of $147,000.
	They didn't have to do that.
	Thus, the State Department need not, quote, honor these requests.
	So they're not even saying they're going to take 75 years.
	They're not going to do it.
	They're just not going to do it.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	Well, they just say so.
	Yeah.
	Classified!
	That's right.
	All classified.
	Why did you say so?
	We're not going to do it.
	It's too much.
	It's just ridiculous.
	We can't do this.
	We have actually a job to do.
	This is outrageous.
	I'd be snotty about it.
	It's like asking us for every document with the word the is.
	We're not doing it.
	Would you like to play your two Hillary clips and then we'll take a break?
	Or what do you want to do?
	No, let's take a break and I'll go back to Hillary because I do have a point to make.
	With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for cultural anthropologist, Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, subs in the water, dames in the nights, and the people with their feet in the air and all the things in between.
	In the morning to everyone in the chatroom, noagendastream.com.
	Almost everyone in the chatroom, that is.
	And in the morning to all of our artists, but I want to thank specifically Minute Man Tom.
	For episode 831, that was the Twitter in triple parens.
	The okie doke chips with Donald Trump's head on them.
	Great.
	Thought it was very funny.
	Please, when you're making this art, beware that small letters will get you nowhere.
	Because when this shrinks down to the size that it fits in podcast apps, it's going to be hard to read.
	So please, just keep that in mind.
	Consider that.
	Keep that in mind, yes.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com, and thank you again to all of our artists.
	We really enjoy that part of the post-production process.
	All right.
	I want to thank a few people here.
	One executive producer.
	We've only got one.
	It's a low day.
	Shauna Alaka in Chester, New Jersey, 33333.
	I'm sending this donation for Thursday's show for a few reasons.
	They're all Snowden related.
	Three years ago, JCD was on a Sunday tech show and he hit me in the mouth as Snowden Prism was the main topic that day.
	I started re-listening to Noah Jenner the next day and it had been three years and I have never missed a show since.
	I have planned on making a donation anyway to mark my three-year anniversary, but when Ed Snowden tweeted an old news clip propagating the lie about the forcing down of the Ecuadorian president's airplane, I could not let this stand as I knew the truth that you both exposed me to years I could not let this stand as I knew the truth I replied to Snowden with links to the actual tower of plane communication, which is what we would get on our show.
	To my shock, Snowden replied with a bogus BBC report about France taking the blame and that my audio link was somehow suspect.
	I saw this.
	Adam, this is a good...
	I saw this.
	I saw this exchange.
	He answered him.
	Snowden answered him and pointed to that article.
	He said, well, you know, France said that they wouldn't let him into the airspace.
	Well, sure, maybe they said that.
	But there was no forcing down of the plane.
	There was no forcing down of the plane.
	Lies.
	And why does Snowden propagate the lie?
	What does he have to lose other than that he's...
	Working for somebody else.
	Adam quickly found the BBC article not to support this argument at all.
	Thank you, Adam, for your tweets.
	Thank you for your tweets.
	Instead of thank you for your cards, thank you for your tweets.
	Thank you for your tweets.
	I felt too many things were strangely converging.
	It all came back to the No Agenda show.
	I had to make this donation.
	Geez, it took three years.
	I was able to hit my wife, Bara, in the mouth, and she now makes me wait so we can listen together.
	Did you see your photo?
	No, I have not seen the photos.
	That's one more of a highlight of.
	You okay?
	Yeah, I'm okay.
	I will continue to support the Value for Value model and continue to propagate the formula.
	And now he's got a couple of clip requests, which says clip requests.
	Can I get a de-douching?
	As it's been 18 months as my last executive producer donation, and I need it.
	A JCD mac and cheese.
	That's my favorite jingle, at least but not least.
	Some karma for my supermodel wife, Bara, who I love more than anything.
	You've been de-douched.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese macaroni and cheese cheddar melted together mac and cheese mac and cheese You've got karma.
	Alrighty, thank you, Sean.
	We have a few associate executive producers, starting with Thomas Hithaller, I'm guessing.
	No, you skipped one.
	Sir John the Brewer, I have.
	Oh, oh, let me go up.
	Ah, oh, okay, there it is.
	Yes, Sir John, sorry, Sir John the Brewer, $279.74.
	He actually sent in a newt.
	Let me find it.
	Oops.
	Double dose of job karma.
	That's what he wants.
	One for myself as I go through a career transition.
	One for everyone who needs a job.
	And then he says, go podcasting.
	Yeah.
	Well, we can bring you that.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Oh no.
	All right.
	Thomas Hitler.
	Hitler.
	That's it.
	Yeah, that would be it.
	268 in Vienna, Austria.
	It was my birthday last week, June 2nd, turning 36.
	268.05, which is the amount.
	Although it says 268, but it's okay.
	Oh no, 268, zero is what it says, dollars.
	He's got a dollar sign instead of a zero.
	Seems to be a good number.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Some relationship and getting laid karma would be greatly appreciated.
	Must my just-ended relationship lack the letters.
	And then he's got, this is a problem with the font.
	I don't know what he's saying.
	What do you got?
	I don't know.
	Maybe it was S-E-X. Ah, could be.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	This needs to change.
	Have a nice day, Thomas.
	I'll say.
	Yeah, please.
	You've got karma.
	Give our man some getting laid karma.
	Eric Powers in Los Alamos, New Mexico, 210-12.
	De-douching, please.
	I've been listening for a year and I'm hooked.
	For your information, here is how I got hit in the mouth.
	My brother-in-law connected me with the Stansberry newsletters where I found out about Frank Curzio's podcast, where I heard about Andrew Horowitz's podcast, where I heard about Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged, where I heard about No Agenda.
	Wow.
	Incidence?
	I think not.
	Nice.
	That's wild.
	That's wild.
	Well, I'm going to give him some karma for that.
	You've got karma.
	That is what we call discovery.
	That's what I call slow growth.
	Ashton Banta in Springfield, Missouri.
	$200.33.
	Here's the smallest contribution on behalf of my favorite person, best friend, and now fiancé, Bo Brown.
	This marks the third year I've made...
	This is the third year I've made this birthday present donation to your awesome show.
	We've been doing a lot of bicycle riding this year to prepare for RAGBRA, a bicycle ride across the state of Iowa.
	RAGBRA. Or is it Rag Bri?
	I can't tell.
	And really appreciate your giving us topics for meaningful conversations for our daily rides.
	You always discuss something.
	There's something funny about two people riding on a bike discussing politics or the media.
	You're always giving us topics for meaningful conversations.
	You always discuss something we're interested in or somewhat knowledge.
	We have somewhat knowledge or...
	Somewhat knowledge about.
	Awkward.
	Bo works in the tech field and I work in healthcare.
	I can't thank you both enough for keeping us informed.
	All the best, Ashton.
	Can we get a sucking in soot?
	Hillary Clinton, Bark, and ISIS in America, James Brown.
	Ah.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, come on.
	When I first started college, when I went running, after five minutes, I started feeling a burning in my chest.
	And it was just me sucking in soot and small.
	The smog was so bad, it was like, you might die.
	I love this one.
	Barack is an adversary of the devil, but you know that he's black, and that's all you want to know.
	I said this is blatant racism.
	It is destroying the dream.
	It is anti-Dr.
	King.
	You African, you Jesse Jackson, you process head and cow shopping.
	You are wicked!
	You are crap!
	From the loud to the strange.
	The media focused on Republicans, too.
	During a story about a political ad featuring...
	No, that's not the right one.
	Oh, man, I was trying to mix it up all nice with the barking.
	It was good.
	You had it going.
	I had it going, but then I blew it.
	Damn it.
	I'm so sorry.
	Ow!
	ISIS. To the gates of hell!
	ISIS. I feel good!
	You've got karma.
	Alright, I redeemed myself.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	Onward.
	Baroness Monica in Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada, 222.
	ITM gents, I'd like to request a big dose of job and health karma, so my nephew Lance, for my nephew Lance, thank you, Baroness Monica.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	And finally, Ellen Trejo, depending.
	Trejo.
	I think Trejo.
	It should be Trejo, but you never know.
	It's in New York.
	200.
	In Ithaca, New York.
	No, I can't find a note, so we'll just give her some karma, and that'll hopefully...
	Should I look real quickly?
	You can look.
	What's her name again?
	Trejo?
	D-R-E-J-O. Helen.
	Helen.
	Okay.
	Let's check.
	You never know.
	No.
	You know what?
	Nope.
	We'll just give karma, then, for sure.
	Karma.
	You've got karma.
	All righty.
	Another show coming up on Sunday.
	Yes.
	Which is right around the corner.
	So let's perhaps pick up the pace and Dvorak.org slash NA is the place to check.
	Totally.
	We appreciate the support we receive from all of our producers, all of our donors, the ones who come in with 200 associate executive producers per episode, 300 or above executive producer.
	Real credits.
	Use them anywhere credits are accepted.
	And as John said, remember, we do have a show coming up on Sunday.
	They remember us at...
	No matter where they are, if you're on the road, you can always do one thing.
	Propagate our formula!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slay.
	Hey, man.
	Fist bump.
	Right.
	All right, Hillary Clips.
	Alright, now I got a couple of Hillary clips to finish off with because I have a thesis here.
	I think Hillary may be running just to bring in a vice president to take over after she gets indicted or perhaps quits or who knows.
	Or Bill dies or whatever.
	But the deal is going to be you've got to pardon the family if anything happens.
	Yeah, that's the deal.
	You want to be my vice president?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, it's Chelsea.
	Explain this to people.
	People have to understand how America has a very interesting little thing that presidents can do when they're done with their term, when they leave.
	Yeah.
	I guess, can they do it?
	There's no time limit.
	They can pardon someone whenever they want.
	Yeah, whatever they feel like.
	And Bill did some very...
	Oh, he pardoned Mark Rich, who was a...
	Mark Rich, a huge criminal.
	Yeah, he's dead.
	He's dead.
	Scammer.
	He's dead.
	He's dead.
	And this is what's going to happen.
	I mean, because we've seen it before.
	When Richard Nixon was having issues, he had to quit presidency.
	Gerald Ford immediately pardoned him.
	Mm-hmm.
	That was a reason Gerald Ford probably didn't get elected as president when he ran against, I believe, Jimmy Carter.
	So let's, first I want to listen to one thing.
	I have this one clip here.
	Let me find it in this list.
	This is Democracy Now!
	visiting South Dakota.
	And to talk with a couple supporters, and I want to, these are two supporters of Hillary, and I want you to listen to what they have to say and what their motivation is for voting for Hillary.
	It's unbelievable.
	South Dakota.
	Democracy Now!
	is there speaking with some of her supporters.
	I'm Jen.
	I'm from Manhattan, and I'm here because after many months of painful back and forth, I'm just proud to be able to come out and say, go Hillary.
	I just can't wait for her to put Trump in his place and to say things that I think not just women, but a lot of people have wanted to say to stand up for social justice in this country, for women, for everything.
	Hi, my name is Frances, and I am here to support Hillary.
	Hillary Clinton, number one, because she's the most qualified to hold the position from day one.
	And number two, because she, in my lifetime, I would love to see a female put these 44 men down.
	Put these 44 men down.
	Fuck them.
	Put them down.
	Shoot them, evil men.
	Put the 44 men down.
	Bad man.
	Let's just take over the place.
	These women are bad man.
	Horrible.
	Bad man.
	They're horrible people.
	Yes.
	To say that, that's a horrible thing.
	I don't know if they're horrible people.
	They're saying horrible things, and it's incredibly wrong.
	It's horrible.
	It's incredibly horrible.
	Alright, what's next?
	Okay, so we have...
	This is the clip.
	Let's see what I think.
	Brazil, BuzzFeed story, South Dakota...
	Hillary VP on CBS. Yeah, there it is.
	Now, I want to preface this one.
	I didn't get all the clips I wanted to of this, but she was asked about the VP, the VP. There's two things going on.
	There's two streams going on.
	One is a vague question.
	I heard it over and over and over again, and it was only this morning that I looked it up to make sure that they were talking about Elizabeth Warren.
	Yeah.
	They keep asking Hillary, would you pick for vice president a senator knowing that the Republican governor, if they had a Republican governor for that state, knowing that the Republican governor would immediately appoint a Republican for that Senate seat?
	Right, so this is the conundrum the way I've understood it.
	If she says, hey, I want Elizabeth Warren to be my VP, then Elizabeth Warren risks having no VP seat and no Senate seat.
	And we risk another Senate seat for the Republicans.
	Right.
	Right.
	I think it's an all cycle for Warren, though.
	I don't think she has to quit her seat to run.
	I'm not sure of the specifics.
	I think that's true.
	But they are talking about Elizabeth Warren, and that's who keeps coming up in the conversation.
	But the thing I've heard most, and this is the least of this version of Hillary...
	The best version, which I did not clip, Hillary says, I want...
	Well, let's play this clip first.
	...thinking hard about this, so I'm going to be looking first and foremost as to who I believe could fulfill the responsibilities of being president and commander-in-chief.
	Which includes pardoning me and the whole family.
	The best clip that I heard was from...
	She throws in the word, from day one.
	From day one, I want someone who can be the president and fulfill the responsibilities as though she's out already.
	I've never heard anybody say it so adamantly.
	From day one, I'm going to pick somebody that can take over my job immediately.
	I give you a point.
	Good one.
	So I think this is what's going on here.
	And Hillary, and in fact, when you listen to this clip about Brazil, which is very short, but Brazil had a coup.
	And nobody's talking about it as a coup because it causes all kinds of State Department issues.
	But that's what it was.
	But listen to this.
	This is the latest going on.
	And as soon as I heard this, this is what Hillary's up to.
	This is the Brazil weirdness clip.
	In Brazil, the chief prosecutor has asked the Supreme Court to authorize the arrest of the presidents of the Senate and the ruling PMDB party and former president José Sarné for allegedly trying to obstruct police investigations.
	The officials are among the most powerful in Brazil.
	If they're arrested, it could rock the newly installed administration of the interim president, Michel Temer.
	He took over after lawmakers voted to suspend President Dilma Rousseff in what many consider a coup by her right-wing opponents.
	Leak transcripts show at least one official plotted to oust Rousseff in order to end a corruption investigation that was targeting him.
	So we have a corruption investigation targeting Hillary.
	And so the best thing to do is to get in, win.
	There's a number of factors going on here.
	One, she becomes the first, it's actually negative, but she becomes the first American female president.
	And the first nominee to be indicted.
	Right.
	Well, but there's the checklist there, so she's got that job, but now if she gets indicted, this is all speculation.
	She gets kicked out, the next person has to come in.
	What are you going to do?
	You have to have a woman, or it's going to be like this, what, she was a woman, a president for one day?
	This is terrible.
	So if you bring in Elizabeth Warren, she's the president, and now you're happy.
	Yeah, and I think that...
	We discussed this a couple shows ago, that Hillary has no female power anymore.
	I mean, yeah, you're hearing some of this right now, but a lot of people just don't like her.
	And women don't like her, but they're going to hold their nose and vote for Hillary.
	That's the whole thing.
	I'll hold my nose and vote for Hillary.
	So they need a fuller female ticket to really get those women on board.
	Because Hillary does have some women issues as well, which I'm sure Trump will be bringing up.
	And Elizabeth Warren represents the Bernie Sanders wing of thought.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	So she brings all the Bernie people, because that's the big Bernie people.
	My daughter.
	Yeah.
	How are they feeling?
	A millennial.
	How is she feeling?
	Have you talked to her?
	How is she feeling?
	Is she bummed?
	She's not happy.
	Or she believes Bernie can still pull it off.
	Actually, to be honest, I'll tell you who I voted for.
	I voted for Bernie.
	I'm an independent, and I'm not a registered Republican or a Democrat, and they allow me to take one of three ballots.
	And so I took the Democrat ballot.
	They wouldn't let me take the Republican ballot.
	I wanted to vote for Bernie, so I could say I voted for Bernie.
	And I voted for Bernie, a communist.
	And so I think it also balances the show.
	People think we're a couple of Trump supporters.
	I voted for Bernie.
	Yeah, good work.
	I'm voting for Vermin Supreme at this point.
	He's thicker.
	Now, she said that if Bernie doesn't win, she's going to vote for Trump.
	And I think there's a lot of...
	Wow, this is the debate right now.
	This is the debate.
	People are like, ah, that'll never happen.
	That's interesting, John.
	Yeah.
	That's very interesting.
	Right at the dining room table.
	I'm going to talk to Tina's daughter.
	She gives me a lot of good dirt.
	I wonder if they're freaking out.
	Maybe a lot of people are going to say, I'm going to go vote for Trump.
	Well, none of that will happen.
	They won't vote for Trump if Elizabeth Warren is the vice presidential candidate.
	I guarantee it.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	Where it used to be a detriment, I think they can do it.
	I think the double female ticket is the way to go.
	I think they have a best shot with that, even though it's like rad.
	And you know what?
	I mean, should I tell you something?
	The Debbie Wasserman types are going to try to talk her out of it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, if it's Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton, I'm voting for that ticket.
	I need to see that shit crash and burn.
	I'm all over it.
	I'm supporting that.
	I'll be all over it.
	Well, it's going to be interesting.
	People should appreciate this moment in history because this is just crazy.
	It's fantastic.
	I think we've lost a lot of listeners because we get a bunch of people.
	Oh, no, we have.
	You know what?
	We've lost a lot of people because we're deconstructing the news.
	And the way it's been played out, we show the corruption of the news media.
	And for people who are all in, or Hillary Botts, They don't like hearing any of what we have to say.
	I think we've lost the anonymous lesbian.
	Have you read the most recent post from Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist?
	Oh, yes.
	Adams is funny.
	So here's what he said.
	I've decided to come off the sidelines.
	And by the way, he is the one that has said Trump is going to win.
	And he even ends his blog post.
	So I won't read his entirety.
	Again, he says Trump will win by a landslide.
	But he says, I've decided to come off the sidelines and endorse a candidate for president of the United States.
	I'll start by reminding readers that my politics don't align with any of the candidates.
	My interest in the race has been limited to Trump's extraordinary persuasion skills.
	But lately, Hillary Clinton has moved into the persuasion game and away from boring facts and policies with great success.
	And he goes on to talk about that.
	And then he says.
	um uh If Clinton successfully pairs Trump with Hitler in your mind, as she is doing, and loses anyway, about a quarter of the country will think it's morally justified.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	So, Scott Adams says, I've decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president for my personal safety.
	Trump supporters don't have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I'll be safe from that crowd.
	But Clinton supporters have convinced me, and I am being 100% serious, that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump.
	So I'm taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.
	Sad day.
	Sad day.
	He's sincere, too.
	I'm sure he was threatened.
	I'm sure he was.
	Very, very sad.
	They probably threaten the King Features or Universal, one of the groups that he's syndicated with.
	They probably threaten the advertisers, threaten the publications.
	All the stuff that happens in general with the media.
	You threaten, threaten, threaten.
	And that crowd is dangerous.
	The big turnaround that was just a shocker was Susan Sarandon decided not to support Hillary because she considers her dangerous.
	Yeah.
	I know.
	And you know that Susan Sarandon, who I've always considered a radical Bernie.
	Yes, she is.
	She's a big Bernie fan.
	I like her.
	I think she's pretty funny.
	She will.
	She is a very radical woman.
	And the fact that she's not supporting Hillary, they're going to go after her.
	I've already seen it on Twitter.
	She's an idiot.
	Goodbye, career.
	Everybody loved her.
	Goodbye, Hollywood.
	She's an idiot.
	She's a cunt.
	Wow.
	Women are saying that on Twitter?
	Well, I don't know if it's women.
	See you next Tuesday?
	Wow.
	See you next Tuesday is heavy.
	Well, this kind of folds into the next topic.
	I've noticed a trend.
	Before you go to the next topic, I just want to remind people, this is because we have deconstructed the news media being a pro-Hillary operation and shown that Trump is being misrepresented, which he is in many cases, with lies.
	We have lost listenership.
	We've lost income.
	We've lost income.
	Because all we're doing is our job.
	We have no interest in these two candidates.
	So you can imagine if we had advertisers, we wouldn't be able to do it at all.
	We wouldn't be on the air.
	We'd be pulled.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we'd be done.
	Especially after See You Next Tuesday slipped out.
	That was harsh.
	Okay, here's a trend, and probably in discussing this we're going to touch a third rail, but it's important that we do this.
	Here's the trend, two news stories, and I've been following this very closely on the face bags, mainly on the face bags, and we have some talking to do and some conclusions to draw from this.
	This was earlier in the week.
	The family of a three-year-old boy who got into the Cincinnati Zoo's gorilla exhibit will not face charges.
	The prosecutor says the child's mother had three other children with her and she was attending to them when her three-year-old just scampered off.
	A special response team shot and killed the 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla to protect the boy and with him.
	This was late last month.
	The family says it's pleased with the prosecutor's decision that came today.
	So when I heard, when this story first came out, there were more people on the face bags arguing about the parents of the child.
	How come?
	What?
	The parents?
	How did they let their kid?
	Not about anything else.
	Only about the parents.
	And so the parents have been exonerated of any wrongdoing.
	Now the next story, which played out over the past few days.
	His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve.
	That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.
	What was the reaction in the courtroom when that was read out loud in front of the victim and her family and friends?
	I think people were very stunned.
	I can actually stop it there.
	What has happened is since this father wrote this article...
	You better back this story up because I mean...
	Let me start with this.
	Mimi brought this up to me.
	And she was like...
	Tina brought this up to me too.
	Mimi brought it up from this perspective.
	She says, why are they making such a...
	Why is everybody making such a big deal out of this?
	And I have to say...
	That everybody is making a big deal out of this.
	PBS, NBC, CBS. The local media, because there's a local story in Stanford, this is the story about the kid who raped some...
	Don't even, don't even, just...
	Okay, keep going.
	Third rail, John, just so you know.
	Third rail.
	We're going for it.
	He had some girl unconscious and he...
	Penetrated her with a foreign object is the exact...
	Well, anyway, but the story is, and I have to agree, I was going to avoid the whole story.
	I thought, eh, this is just a story that's going to come and go.
	We've seen stories like this before.
	Not really important to the show.
	But Mimi brought it up, and then I said, well, jeez, is everybody going to bring this up as a major, major story?
	And they all have, and you have now brought it into the play, and I'm going to say, okay, what do you got to say?
	The reason I'm bringing it up is the conversation, not once, but twice, and we need a third data point to confirm the trend.
	The blame is on parents.
	I've followed this closely.
	The blame is on the parents.
	When this dad wrote his note, and here I'm touching the third rail, I read his note in context.
	He was not a great writer, and if you only see the 20 minutes of action, the word action, of course, is translated into, yeah, I'm getting some action tonight, baby, but I believe the father meant differently.
	Not trying to...
	Please don't email me.
	I won't respond.
	Okay?
	I don't care.
	But the conversation stays at, who are these parents?
	What kind of privilege are they being raised with?
	This is all about the parents.
	And we're missing alcohol, underage drinking in schools.
	We're missing a lot of things in this story.
	But somehow, when children do shitty things...
	Parents are now being blamed, and I'm pretty sure we're going to see parents getting fined, and we just need a third thing to happen.
	It'll be, because everyone's annoyed with the millennials.
	Not all millennials.
	We love you who are listening and are healthy and sane.
	We had, I think, a precursor to this one, a trial balloon, was the kid, the privileged kid who escaped to Mexico with the help of his mom.
	Yep, yep.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	After he killed somebody with a vehicular, you know, he ran some people over.
	I think two or three people died.
	So maybe that is the first of the trifecta.
	Maybe that's really where it started.
	That was the initial salvo.
	I think you're right.
	And they nicknamed him.
	He was the Privilege something.
	I can't even remember what the nickname is.
	Somebody will know in the chat room.
	There was a nickname for him.
	Douchebag?
	No, it was something about his...
	He had some sort of flu.
	It was like affluence.
	Oh, affluent.
	Affluenza.
	Affluenza.
	He had the affluenza.
	And his mom was protecting him.
	And he was a douchebag.
	He was just a complete one.
	And that didn't get the legs of this one.
	This is a beauty.
	This thing is everywhere.
	And the sad thing that I'm seeing...
	And by the way, stop.
	There are rapes going on, as we speak, that are probably more horrible, horrific, and probably need some attention.
	They get no attention.
	We're going to focus on this.
	And that's mainly because there's thousands of rape kits that are still waiting to be analyzed for DNA. A lot of stuff.
	Oh yeah, let's don't bitch about that.
	Of course not.
	It's only the parents.
	And, you know, it's really incredible to see this taking place.
	But sad to me, sad, is...
	I'm seeing very good friends of mine entering into discussion.
	And so, alright, we have discussion on Facebook about Hillary, Trump.
	Who gives a shit?
	You're talking in an echo chamber of ones and zeros and bytes.
	Nothing is going to change.
	You can change your icon.
	You can yell at everybody.
	You're just in a little space.
	Maybe 50 people see what you're writing.
	You are making yourself more ill than you already are by engaging people.
	Engaging in conversations in a big bucket that is unimportant.
	You can throw it away.
	I hope you all feel better when you do it.
	But it will make absolutely zero.
	It has zero influence.
	Zero.
	But yet people dive in and pissed off and angry and yelling.
	What in context of everything?
	And I just see the sickness popping up.
	Good friends are all angry.
	But if you really look at it, what is really happening?
	You're all yelling at each other on face bag.
	I mean, it's only going to make you...
	It's going to raise your heart rate.
	I mean, none of this.
	And now it's about parents.
	Ooh, it's shitty parents.
	Shitty parents.
	Ooh, this guy.
	Do this.
	Oh, my God.
	People, go to the bar and talk about it.
	Talk with someone in real life.
	Go out on the street and protest.
	I don't know what you're doing, but stop with the endless threads on Facebook.
	It's pathetic.
	You are really, truly ill.
	And I see it in the No Agenda podcast fans group, too.
	Talking about this.
	Yeah, I mean, one of the things the show tries to do is get people away from that behavior.
	And we failed, really failed.
	We have totally failed on this, yeah.
	We failed with the Trump analysis.
	What we're doing is exposing the truth.
	We're exposing the reality.
	But no.
	I got some guy on Twitter yelling at me.
	I'm not going to give up on the show if you guys keep promoting Trump.
	We're not promoting Trump.
	And so then I go check his feeds out.
	He's just a hater.
	Holy crap.
	That's where I got a lot of these pictures.
	Once I got off of my little bubble group and started floating over to the other side, that's why it was in the newsletter.
	I said, holy crap, look at this stuff.
	And that's only the beginning of it.
	I mean, I could have put thousands of these Photoshop jobs.
	Trump is Hitler.
	But I come back to this disturbing trend of, it's the parents.
	We have to blame something.
	We know that you blame the government, it doesn't work anymore.
	We can blame the government for everything.
	It just doesn't work.
	People don't feel satisfied.
	You know, kids, well, that's too loaded, you know.
	But parents, yeah, these are the assholes.
	And there may be a lot of parents who are no good.
	But it's disturbing that that's where these conversations keep going towards.
	There's the parents, bad parents, bad parents, bad parents.
	Well, there's probably a reason for that.
	There's something up.
	There's something that we're trying to separate.
	Well, when it comes to the face bag, I would say the majority of the audience probably has children in this age range.
	Young kids aren't on Facebook anymore.
	They're on Instagram.
	They're on Snapchat.
	They're not on Facebook.
	Facebook is Loserville.
	It's for old people.
	It's like cable television.
	And probably have kids.
	So I don't know.
	It's a fear thing and be careful, beware of this because it will be used against you.
	When they catch on that this is something that can manipulate you, look out.
	In the social justice vein, there was something very funny, though, that happened in Brooklyn.
	This is when you get all these politically correct moves and what you can and can't do, you run into trouble like this.
	This is totally insane.
	Isaac Abraham is a leader in the Hasidic community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
	He is disgusted that the city would think of canceling the women-only swimming hours at the Metropolitan Recreation Center's indoor pool.
	In keeping with their religion, Hasidic men and women are prohibited from swimming together.
	As a result, the City Parks Department allows women only swimming at the pool for two hours a day, four days a week.
	Not just for Hasidic women, but for all women.
	The Parks Department says it was told by the City Commission on Human Rights that its female only hours are discriminatory against men.
	Why don't they go after and sue the bars and the clubs?
	They give women free drinks, entries to clubs for free, and they discriminate against men.
	Had the transgender people requested this, even the ladies' room would have been removed.
	Donna Lieberman is executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
	She says the Parks Department's policy was well-intentioned, but she says it is gender discrimination.
	We're dealing with a city pool.
	This is a Parks Department facility, and the Parks Department cannot discriminate against people based on gender in terms of access to the pool.
	Now we also reached out to the City Parks Department.
	It released a statement saying, quote, separate gender swimming hours remain in effect at Metropolitan Pool while the department reviews its policy.
	By the way.
	You really need to see that woman from the Parks Department.
	He has just this smirk on her face.
	Like, you know, it's a public poll.
	By the way, I had bitched about this in a column I wrote when I was doing op-eds for the San Francisco Examiner in the 1980s.
	My complaint was it's discrimination and bullcrap that there are these ladies' nights at these bars in San Francisco where the women get to come in free.
	They don't have to pay if there's a cover charge.
	They get free drinks and all the rest.
	This is bullcrap.
	There's no reason they should get free drinks and women can't.
	I know why they do it, because they're trying to get some women to show up, but still.
	Or we can all just, you know...
	Get along and say whatever.
	Fine.
	I'll live with it.
	That's a possibility.
	The Daily Beast put together a list of the craziest demands from college kids in 2016.
	I think I need to read a few of these.
	It's already funny.
	This show writes itself, honestly.
	I think I should go down this list for a good chuckle.
	These are real demands from real students at real universities.
	Yale.
	Yale activists, who told the faculty, we have spoken, we are speaking, pay attention, had a very specific demand.
	They wanted to purge the English department of its colonialist course offerings by restructuring classes found on white male poets.
	It is unacceptable that a Yale student, considering studying English literature, might read only white male authors, wrote the student activists in their petition.
	The major English poet's sequences creates a culture that is especially hostile to students of color.
	Oh, man.
	Yale does not offer courses that feature more diverse readings.
	Students have to complete the main sequence on white male authors.
	They want diversity in their English poetry.
	It's sad that there was kind of a bunch of white guys back then.
	I don't know if there's a lot of poets of color from the basics.
	Well, you can dig them up.
	Yeah.
	Here we go.
	This is University of Arizona.
	The marginalized students, a coalition of self-described oppressed students, including the Latino Student Association, Black Student Association, Asian Student Association, LGBT Student Association, Native American Student Association, and the Women's Center want safe spaces for each unique identity group.
	The black students want a residence hall all to themselves.
	New York University, same thing.
	Student activists want one floor of a campus building turned over to black students.
	There's so much desegregation.
	Yeah.
	So we talked about it, we had a great guy, the rabbi, on the last show.
	The slow march to segregation.
	This is what it results in.
	So New York University, one floor of the campus building turned over to black students, another floor to LGBT students.
	How are you going to prove it?
	Are you going to go in and say, you're not gay?
	How do you know?
	Let's see.
	Mizzou?
	Of course, University of Missouri, black student activists set up spaces of healing.
	And they specifically asked white students, even those who self-identified as allies, to leave because they were in their space of healing.
	Oh, man.
	Oberlin College, A's and students complained that the General Tso's chicken wasn't up to their standards, a delicious irony, of course.
	It wasn't up to their standards.
	How about...
	This is also Oberlin College.
	Some students don't want white people practicing yoga.
	That would be cultural appropriation.
	Others think tequila and sombreros on Cinco de Mayo are offensive.
	And still others think Hindu chanting should be reserved for Hindus.
	And then we have...
	Bonita Tindall, that's San Francisco University?
	No, no, it's a student at San Francisco University.
	That's the one I still think might have been fake.
	She attacked a white kid because she objected to his dreadlock, saying, that's my culture.
	You're appropriating my culture.
	Then we have a whole bunch of problems with microaggressions.
	Students at Western Washington University want the administration to create a 15-person student committee to monitor, quote, racist, anti-black, transphobic, cis-sexist.
	New one, John.
	Cis-sexist.
	Ooh, I like that one.
	I'm going to write it down, too.
	Cis-sexist.
	It's double-ass.
	Cissexist.
	Misogynistic.
	Wait.
	Ableist.
	Homophobic.
	Oh, ableism.
	Bad.
	Homophobic, Islamophobic, and otherwise oppressive behavior on campus.
	No one would be safe.
	Of course not.
	Tenured faculty members accused of microaggressions.
	Would be subject to a formal investigation, an example of what qualifies as a microaggression in the eyes of these students.
	They spelled the word history with an X, as in hextory, because the actual word is too patriarchal, you see?
	His story.
	His story.
	So it has to be HX story.
	HX story.
	We have to change it.
	Yeah.
	That's a good show title.
	H-X, yeah.
	Man, we got a lot.
	How do you spell it?
	H-X-T-O-R-Y? H-S-S. H-X-S-T-O-R-Y. Oh, H-X-S. Why don't it just be H-X-Tory?
	I think it should be Hextory.
	Just put an E in there.
	I like HX story better than HXS story.
	Well, you...
	Because that still implies his.
	It doesn't imply hers.
	You have male privilege.
	Who are you?
	You don't know what it's like.
	I am putting myself in the place of a woman.
	It still has H-X-S, the S. The S is from his.
	It should be H-E-R's story, hers story, and H-X better represents that neutrality.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	John Hopkins University, fine.
	The institution in New York, administrators do not count first semester's freshmen's grades at John Hopkins.
	Heaven forbid.
	These students receive grades, but they aren't included on their transcript.
	The university is phasing out this practice, however, but given concerns that it discourages new students from studying as hard as they should, student activists are utterly opposed to the new policy.
	One student accused the administration of worsening her anxiety.
	Here we go.
	I'm paying to have a support network, academically and mentally.
	I can't be expected to do well in class if I'm depressed and have anxiety.
	If the school is worsening my anxiety, that's their problem, and they need to be held accountable for that.
	Oberlin, 1,300 Oberlin students signed a petition calling on the college to make C the lowest possible grade so no student would be deemed below average.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Well, this is what happens when you jack up the tuitions.
	They make everyone take out a loan.
	They're paupers that are paying too much money and they can make these demands.
	If the schools were free, like Bernie wanted, which had been that case the way in the past, especially the state schools, they wouldn't be able to make so many demands.
	Unbelievable.
	Oh, this was kind of funny.
	This is something I've only seen happen in the UK. Gitmo Nation East is now happening in New York, Brooklyn.
	City employees are going around opening up people's trash bags they put out on the street in the morning to see if there is any recyclable in there.
	Yeah, this happens in Berkeley.
	Yeah, and if you have some recyclables in there and you put it in the regular trash, you get fined.
	But they're actually going bag by bag and opening it up.
	Yeah, this happens in Berkeley.
	This is insane.
	In Berkeley, they're very conscientious about keeping those recyclables out of the regular garbage.
	So this one citizen, and I'll play it until you guess it, he's filming them doing this, and he's freaking out.
	Tell me who he sounds like.
	Famous television, I'll just say television character.
	Like I said, after he's met.
	Officer, could you tell me why you're taking out garbage from people's houses in order to give tickets?
	Could you tell me why, officer, are you giving out tickets?
	You're not recycling properly.
	Now you took out garbage from residents' house, where I have a few witnesses behind you, that you took out garbage in order to give summonses.
	Do you know who it sounds like yet?
	No.
	I want to know how you dare do something like that.
	I think you have a nerve to do something like this.
	You go into one resident to another in order to take out garbage.
	To poop on!
	Come on, this comic dog.
	Oh, the triumphant dog?
	It sounds like him.
	A little bit.
	Yeah.
	To poop on.
	Anyway.
	I guess he does.
	Well, there was all this bull crap that we're talking about going on.
	It was all reported, over-reported, reported poorly and everything in between.
	There's a bunch of unreported stuff that was actually a little more important going on.
	Let's listen to a couple of these clips.
	Okay, what you got?
	How about this one?
	Unreported China meetings.
	Freaking talks.
	U.S. and Chinese officials have wrapped up their annual strategic and economic dialogue in Beijing.
	After two days of talks, both sides agreed to disagree on significant issues.
	But they did manage to find some common ground, though.
	China promised to rein in its steel production that's flooding global markets.
	And it's hoped that could improve the business climate between China and the West, which has become frosty recently.
	I'll say.
	Huh.
	This story goes on to report that they've also allowed American investors to invest more directly into China, which is something they never allowed.
	And then it went into a report about how the EU is all bent out of shape because they're not getting the same kind of privileges we are.
	This is a long story.
	It went on and on and on.
	Not an event reported.
	Nobody cares, even though this is a lot more important than some of the crap that we're talking about.
	Hell yeah.
	Let's go on to this, which I think is a really bad story.
	I don't hear anything.
	These stories, you can pick them up from the European news sources.
	This is the unreported war games going on.
	Poland has just launched its biggest military exercises since the Cold War.
	Tens of thousands of soldiers are taking part in the joint maneuvers with NATO, a move likely to further strain relations with Russia.
	The war games come just as a month before Warsaw hosts a NATO summit at which leaders will discuss deploying further battalions to Eastern Europe in the wake of the crisis in Ukraine.
	Troops in action on the training area near Warsaw.
	The aim of Anaconda is to prepare for an emergency, to give Polish forces and troops from other NATO countries a chance to rehearse a crisis scenario on the EU's eastern frontier.
	And I will point out that your No Agenda show gave you the info on this, Anaconda 16 to be exact, several shows ago.
	I have, thank you for the lead-in, an analysis of this by our buddy, Professor Stephen Cohen.
	Ah, I haven't heard from him for a while.
	I'm glad you got something.
	Yeah, I got, I think, some dynamite analysis.
	He was on the John Batchelor show, so I'm giving credit to that.
	So, what are you going to hear?
	It's a little long, but, oh man, Cohen is so worth it.
	The guy is so in tune with what's going on.
	But again, professor of Russian studies, I think, is the official title at New York University.
	Yeah.
	He says what this Anaconda, this Operation Anaconda 16, is comparable to is the Cuban Missile Crisis.
	All of a sudden, when America had Russia, arguably on our border, a little bit further away even than the borders we're talking about here, quite a bit further away, everyone lost their shit!
	What?
	This can't be.
	It was a very, very scary time.
	Now, NATO, i.e.
	the United States, is doing exactly the same.
	And Russia, and the Russians in particular, they're a lot more worried than we are because, as you point out...
	And that gets no reporting here.
	No one gives a crap about that here because, you know, we've got to talk about emails and bullshit.
	Because Russia, by putting the missiles in Cuba, initiated that crisis.
	In my judgment, Washington and NATO have initiated this crisis.
	Now, we've followed it for, as it's unfolded over months and weeks, this very large U.S.-led NATO military buildup On Russia's western borders.
	Oddly enough, NATO calls this its Eastern Front, which is what Nazi Germany called its war against Russia.
	That is really creepy when you hear that, isn't it?
	Yeah, totally.
	It's like now we're the Nazis.
	And of course, naturally, because Russians are intensely historical people and with very little amnesia, Somebody once said, I think it was Gore Vidal, we are the United States of amnesia.
	Do you remember that quote?
	I love that one.
	I don't remember.
	It's true.
	Yeah, you don't remember.
	Exactly.
	We're the United States of amnesia.
	United States of amnesia.
	Russia's not.
	They remember all this, partly because every family lost somebody in the war.
	So the specter of war has been raised in the minds of Russians, ordinary citizens.
	And the people who run the Kremlin.
	And it's been widely discussed there, and there are different views.
	But for your listeners, to take not my word for it, your word for it, it would be great if they had an atlas, a map, in front of them.
	Yeah, he's so no agenda, this professor.
	Do that.
	Open up Google Earth or Google Maps and play along.
	It may seem logical to you, but it's even more fun when you do it.
	And they looked at where NATO is operating and building up.
	On land, in the air, and in the sea.
	And you will see that it's a semi-arc extending from Russia's northwest.
	That would be the Baltic Sea.
	That would be the Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Romania.
	Now we learn that Finland, which preserved its neutrality during the preceding 40-year war, It's prepared to host NATO troops, and Sweden, which had not been a member of NATO, to join NATO. So we follow that arc from Russia's northwest All the way down to the southwestern part and the south,
	where we have the Ukrainian crisis, and then the Black Sea, where we also have a very big American and NATO sea presence.
	Now, these ships, by the way, that are in the water, aren't cruise ships.
	These are exceedingly modern, lethal, floating war machines.
	Not only can they attack with missiles, but they have anti-missile capability.
	They are extremely sophisticated, and Russia regards them as a great threat, sailing around off their shores.
	But above all, Russia fears this Any missile device that we opened installation in Romania last week with one more to come in Poland.
	And here we have to be aware and remember what Putin said last week.
	It shocked a lot of people.
	It didn't shock me because he was reacting to his own shock that we had done this.
	He said, Romania is now in the crosshairs of our missiles and Poland will be too.
	In other words, he's saying that these are such dangerous threats to us, these anti-missile devices, that if it comes to war, they will be the first thing we will take out.
	In other words, Romania and Poland have put themselves on the front line of an East-West war.
	So we've moved now to a higher degree of alarm.
	And I don't think it's alarmist.
	I lament it, but I think it's real.
	And the thing that stuns me, but doesn't surprise me, is that this is being widely, publicly discussed in Russia, in mainstream newspapers, on the primetime talk shows at night.
	And not a word is being said about it in the United States, except what NATO cares to put out through reporters of the New York Times and the Washington Post.
	So...
	I love listening to the professor, and we need to get as many translated bits and pieces as possible about what is being said about this in Russia.
	Of course, much shorter clip, thank God.
	We know what this is all about.
	We have our no agenda thinking.
	We always know what these drills are about.
	And...
	The professor agrees.
	The people who are promoting this are the people who are providing NATO with the ideology of the build-up.
	You ask any spokesman of NATO or any member of the State Department, they say, because Putin's threatening the Baltics.
	How is he threatening the Baltics?
	Where is he threatening the Baltics?
	Whether maybe this has a financial driving force, that all these countries have to buy American-made weapons, and this is good business for our weapon makers.
	And I kind of, I would tell you that I would put NATO's desire to violate its word to Russia An agreement signed in 1997 that there would never be permanently based NATO forces on Russia's borders.
	They want to violate that.
	We expanded NATO politically.
	Now we're expanding it militarily.
	Plus probably the profit that will accrue.
	To the big American weapon makers, because every NATO country has to have weapons consistent with NATO armaments, and those are mainly American armaments, and it's good business.
	I would put that way ahead as a causality.
	Anything that Putin has said or done or intends to do.
	There you go.
	Money.
	It's all about the military-industrial complex.
	But they play with fire.
	Well, thank you.
	Kagan, Lindsey Graham, McCain, and Hillary Clinton.
	They're all in this together.
	Thank you very much.
	That is exactly the lead-in I was looking for.
	Where in the world is Victoria Kagan Noodleman?
	Hey!
	That's right!
	Where is Victoria Kagan Noodleman, nay, Newland?
	The woman who changed her name from Noodleman to Newland and did not change it to Kagan when she married the famous Kagan.
	But she was summoned to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and I happen to catch this.
	I have not seen Vicky in a long time.
	But maybe it would be good to hear her statement on how afraid we are of Russia, how evil Russia is, and what we're going to do with them.
	Because it falls right in line with everything you just heard.
	As you all know, for more than 20 years following the collapse of the Soviet Union...
	And by the way, her head has gotten big.
	She's got a big head.
	Yeah, I think she's like on steroids or something.
	She doesn't look healthy.
	She looks a little Eastern European, like East Germany, kind of like a shot put.
	I think she's been hanging out there a lot.
	Oh, definitely.
	The United States has sought to build a constructive relationship with Russia.
	Oh, yeah.
	And to support that country...
	No.
	...is greater integration...
	We'll never get through this clip.
	And to support that country's greater integration into regional and global institutions.
	Yeah, that's the dream.
	And the rules-based international order.
	The rules-based international order.
	What is that?
	Is that what she said?
	The rules-based international order, ladies and gentlemen.
	Holy crap.
	I know, I know.
	Isn't it great?
	New world order.
	The rules-based international order.
	Wait, I want to hear it again from you.
	Rules-based international order.
	Rules-based international order.
	Nice.
	Our working assumption in doing this was that a more integrated, democratic, secure, and prosperous Russia would be a safer, more predictable, and willing partner for...
	So again, we're the empire.
	We tell you what to do.
	You should be like this, Russia.
	The United States and our allies.
	By 2014, however, we had no choice but to re-evaluate our assumptions following Russia's invasion of sovereign Ukrainian territory.
	First in Crimea and then in eastern Ukraine, which shattered any remaining illusions about this Kremlin's willingness to abide by international law or live by the rules of the institutions that Russia joined at the end of the Cold War.
	Our approach to Russia today.
	Isn't it interesting that all those years, nothing happened, and then in 2014, all of a sudden, you know, Russia has done nothing.
	Then all of a sudden, oh yeah, then they've, what did she say?
	Did she say they attacked?
	Vied by international law.
	Invaded.
	Sorry?
	Invade.
	She said invade.
	Invade.
	They didn't invade.
	No.
	We were there all the time, and the Crimean thing was a joke.
	They didn't invade.
	There was no invasion.
	They voted to get out.
	She's lying.
	She's lying.
	There was no invasion.
	Little green men?
	Sure.
	That's not an invasion.
	You keep saying invasion, invasion, invasion, especially with the Crimean thing.
	Then people believe it.
	Invasion.
	By the rules of the institutions that Russia joined at the end of the Cold War.
	Our approach to Russia today, first, strengthen deterrence.
	Okay.
	To counter the threat posed by Russian aggression and deter any military moves against NATO territory.
	Over the past two years, the United States and our NATO allies have maintained a persistent rotational military presence.
	This is very important, what she says here.
	The agreement we signed in 1997 is we said we would never put a full-time ground force along the Russian border.
	We would not move further east.
	But you hear what she says.
	She says we have a persistent rotating ground force.
	You see?
	This is again the lawyers who run the world.
	Oh, that's a good one.
	It's a persistent rotation.
	It's not a fixed force.
	It's persistent.
	And she even stumbles over the words because she knows she has to say this legally.
	...maintained a persistent rotational military presence...
	Yep, see?
	Persistent, rotational, which is therefore kind of not breaking the agreement.
	Well, I'm sorry.
	As an American citizen, I'm outraged.
	On land, sea, and air, all along NATO's eastern edge, the Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria.
	Nice!
	As we look towards the NATO summit in Warsaw this coming July, allies will institutionalize a more sustained approach to deterrence, including by enhancing forward presence in the east to reduce response times to any aggression.
	Oh man!
	Why don't you just stand up and say, hey, come on!
	Come on!
	Come and get me!
	To support this commitment, the President has requested $3.4 billion to fund the European Reassurance Initiative.
	Which is what?
	I think that's giveaways.
	I believe we're giving away some money and weapons.
	It's a giveaway.
	That is a giveaway to the military-industrial complex.
	With your support, these funds will be used to deploy an additional rotational armored brigade combat team to Central and Eastern Europe and for pre-positioning of combat equipment as well as additional trainers and exercises in Europe.
	Sounds like a money wagon to me.
	Dr.
	Carpenter will talk about this in detail.
	To press Moscow to bring an end to the violence in Ukraine and fully implement its commitments under the Minsk agreements, we've worked with the EU, the G7, and other like-minded nations to impose successive rounds of tough economic sanctions on Russia over the past two years.
	And we're now working intensively with Europe to ensure that EU sanctions are rolled over at the end of this month, And to support France and Germany in their lead diplomatic role to push for the full implementation of the Minsk agreements, including the withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukraine and the return of Ukraine's sovereign border.
	I love that because, once again, she's tacking on what America wants, which is the so-called get out of Ukraine and get out of Crimea.
	But that is not part of the Minsk agreement.
	That's what's so interesting.
	We're always tacking that on.
	We're not a signatory to the Minsk agreement.
	You've got to sign the Minsk agreement.
	You've got to hold to that, including Crimea, which is not a part of the Minsk.
	They made no agreement to do that.
	So she's lying.
	Next, resilience of partners.
	Even as we defend NATO territory, we're also working to reduce the vulnerabilities and increase the resilience of those countries across Europe that face...
	Hold on a second.
	Stop.
	I just thought of something.
	I'm going to guess, but right at the end of her speech, one of the Congress, I don't know if it's a senator or...
	Senators.
	One of the senators will ask her about this.
	What she's asking for has got nothing to do with the Minsk agreement, and then she's going to have to explain herself.
	You know, interestingly, you're wrong.
	No, of course not.
	...off Europe that face pressure from Moscow.
	To help Ukraine, the United States has committed over $600 million in security assistance.
	Security assistance?
	Bonanza!
	We've trained 1,700 Ukrainian conventional forces and National Guard personnel.
	We've provided counter-artillery and counter-mortar radars, over 3,000 secure radios.
	Nice.
	Nice.
	Bail things, no doubt.
	A number of other pieces of equipment.
	Counter mortar.
	What's counter mortar?
	I like that she said we have encrypted radios.
	I'm thinking Bail thing, 25 bucks on eBay.
	And a number of other pieces of equipment to help Ukrainian troops successfully resist further advances and to save lives.
	Save lives.
	To continue our work across Europe and Eurasia to strengthen democratic institutions, reform economies, fight corruption.
	Strengthen the institutions by overthrowing them.
	And build the resilience of our partners.
	We have requested $787 million in FY17, focusing on our priorities on those countries that are most vulnerable to Russian pressure.
	Our programs and advisors focus on improving governance, squeezing out graft and fraud, strengthening justice systems, improving election standards, hardening border security and homeland defenses, and building energy independence to make countries more resilient and stronger in the face and building energy independence to make countries more resilient and stronger in
	We're also deepening intelligence cooperation across Europe and Eurasia to detect and blunt Russia's covert and overt efforts to manipulate the internal politics of European countries.
	Wow.
	You know what we need for that?
	We need this one.
	Hello, kettle?
	This is the pot calling.
	My goodness.
	Okay, I want to remind everybody, and I have one last clip with a nice kicker on it.
	I want to remind everybody, when this was all going down, we had the intercepted phone call from Victoria Newland talking about putting together the new...
	Overthrown by the new Ukrainian government, and it's worth listening to again.
	I can't remember if I told you this or if I only told Washington this, that when I talked to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name for the UN guy, Robert Seri.
	Did I write you that this morning?
	Yeah, I saw that.
	He's now gotten both Seri and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Seri could come in Monday or Tuesday.
	Okay.
	So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it.
	And, you know, fuck the EU. Yeah, exactly.
	There it is.
	So you just heard her talking about how she's going to strengthen our partners, help our allies.
	And what does she really say?
	I'm driving off laughing.
	This is what I'll say.
	What astonishes me most is that the EU is so stupid that they put up with this crap.
	Here's the final one.
	This, of course, was about money.
	And now we move to propaganda.
	As you know, the Russians, they just put so much money into RT. You know, the propaganda.
	How can we even fight this?
	Well, this is also part of Victoria Noodleman Kagan's job.
	Part of Russia's campaign in Eastern Europe and the Baltics and Ukraine has been to produce disinformation.
	Disinformation.
	They're spending a lot of money on RT television and lots of other ways.
	She can't mention another one, by the way.
	Lots of other ways.
	RT. It's always RT. What other ways?
	To get their message out into parts of Eastern Europe.
	Can you talk a little bit more about what we're doing to respond to that propaganda?
	I love me some of this propaganda.
	Now, they have RT. Good.
	I got it.
	Where did they have that guy?
	Who was the guy who got fired from MSNBC? He's now on RT. Ed Schultz.
	Ed Schultz is on.
	I mean, hey, wow, guys.
	Way to go on RT. You do have the hot Russian chick.
	That's true.
	So when she says BBG, that is the Broadcast Board of Governors.
	They are the ones that control the propaganda arm of the United States.
	And they had, you know, like the big-wig guy from NBC who had to leave because they had to go fix MSNBC and NBC News.
	But when she says BBG, that's Broadcast Board of Governors.
	Thanks, Senator.
	Well, as you know, this has been a line of effort that we've been working on very hard with members of the Congress and the Senate since 2014.
	The total appropriation now, State Department, USAID, BBG, Broadcast Board of Governors, on the U.S. side is a...
	Notice that she says USAID... Right.
	USAID, their job mainly is to fund NGOs, non-governmental organizations, who create riots and do other crazy things and influence press.
	Out $100 million to counter Russian propaganda.
	That money, as you know, goes for a number of things, from clean, honest Russian language programming that BBG is now putting out, I'm sure that'll be clean, honest Russian programming that the U.S. Ministry of Truth is putting out.
	Every day, the expansion of Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty VOA. God, look, we have Radio Free Europe, we have Radio Liberty, Radio Free...
	Hey, Europe, EU, shouldn't you be outraged by having Radio Free Europe, a propaganda arm broadcasting all over your continent?
	To about $88 million that we use in State Department and AID money to support...
	When she says AID, that's USAID. Civil society, independent media, journalist training, including outside Russia for those Russian journalists who have fled.
	We're also...
	Yeah, we just train journalists.
	We train them.
	Yeah.
	We're doing quite a bit to bolster programming inside Russia to the extent that we can.
	But this pales in comparison to the 400 million at least that Russia is spending, and frankly to the levels that we spent during the Cold War on these kinds of things, which were over a billion dollars a year in the days of old USIA. And can you talk a little bit about the substance of what we're doing and who we're engaging in working with us on the content?
	I will be 30,000 feet, if you'll allow me, to protect those who participate in these programs.
	Interesting she says 30,000 feet.
	That was exactly the altitude of MH17 when it was brought down, I believe, by a Ukrainian jet, air-to-air missile.
	Usually we say 10,000 feet, helicopter view.
	No, she has 30,000 feet.
	It's on her mind.
	In fact, those who participate in these programs, many of whom depend on that protection.
	But we conduct training programs at various locations in Europe.
	Oh, really?
	Where are these symposia?
	For journalists who've either fled or who've come out to get training and are planning to go back in.
	What training does a journalist need once they learn how to be a journalist?
	What do you need training for?
	What is she talking about?
	It's called MKUltra.
	Mockingbird.
	It's training.
	So you write the right things.
	You have to know what to write.
	You have to be trained.
	Training is getting a checkbook out.
	It's like when you go to the Apple store.
	If you're going to work in the Apple store, you have all kinds of weeks of training.
	Training, training how to do it right.
	You're not doing journalism right.
	I'm out to get training and are planning to go back in.
	We support a number of Russian language news organizations in the Baltic states and in other periphery countries that are designed either to address Russian-speaking populations in those home countries and counter Russian propaganda or to beam back in.
	We obviously support Russian language programming in Ukraine, which has some impact also in Russia as well.
	And then this good portion that goes to BBG and VOA programming, which is U.S. government free news content.
	And?
	We also do quite a bit to pull together efforts of the EU, U.K., Baltic states, Central European states.
	Wait, wait, no, no, listen.
	It's the last bit.
	Just listen.
	...bit to pull together efforts of the EU, UK, Baltic States, Central Europeans...
	Through consultation, through sharing of programming, etc.
	Oh!
	So our propaganda is also being shared with other European broadcasters.
	Nice to know.
	You didn't think that was going on?
	I didn't think we'd be so brazen as just to say it.
	Well, who else is playing?
	Might as well be.
	You're the only one playing a clip like this.
	I don't see anybody outraged because most of them are already bought off.
	That's the whole media.
	And by the way, this all began right at the beginning of 2014.
	That's when they really got all bent out of shape.
	And why is that?
	Because the Russians would not release Snowden, who went to Russia in 2013, and would not cough him up.
	And this all began right then.
	There's no coincidence involved.
	John C. DeVore, ex-pet peeve of the day.
	It's an observation of fact.
	I've said it on the show for years.
	I'm sorry, was my jingle out of order?
	I think so.
	It wasn't a peeve.
	Okay.
	I don't have it.
	John is so right.
	He said it all along.
	Something like that?
	He said it all along.
	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.
	So we had...
	We start off with Matthew Vergao in...
	Ann Arbor, Michigan.
	It could be Wurgow.
	$197.90.
	I don't know why I didn't put a second mono in.
	This is a symbolic donation, but he did write a note and he sent it in and I think he's like a $200 guy, so I might as well read it.
	It says, don't make fun of my handwriting.
	I've been a listener for a few years since I left the Army, honorably.
	I haven't donated mostly because I'm a douchebag, but I've also been stretching savings to allow me to attend my nuclear engineering studies full-time.
	Hopefully this is the first of many donations because I was recently awarded a fellowship to attend graduate school with a nice little stipend, so the money was...
	I've also been hitting my Seoul, S-E-O-U-L, Korean girlfriend, my lab mates and professor, advisor, in the mouth, and they may be new listeners.
	You guys are heroes for renouncing the corrupt drug money-fueled media model and calling out all the a-holes for their lies and obvious bias.
	Just as an aside, the minute we start talking about Snowden, stream cut out.
	Very interesting.
	That's funny.
	Keep it up.
	Hope to attend a meet-up sometime soon.
	He goes on and on.
	Nate.
	So I wanted to read that, and he's probably right.
	Sorry about the Snowden thing.
	We'll get the stream back going as I read more names.
	Olaf Wolf in Munich.
	München, Deutschland.
	$123.
	Trevor Mudge.
	Sir Trev.
	I need to talk about him for a moment.
	Okay.
	He's a professor at University of Michigan in computer sciences.
	Oh, you had a meeting with him?
	I had a dinner, drinks and dinner with him.
	They were both in Austin.
	The other one?
	Assistant professor, Ron.
	Both No Agenda listeners.
	Great guys.
	Really had a fun...
	It was after the show, so I was tired, but I said, hey, we got nights in Austin.
	We break for nights.
	And there was one thing that...
	And I actually put all of his explanation into the show notes at 832.noagendanotes.com.
	So I said, what do you guys work on?
	I said, well, we're mainly working on designing chips that have the lowest power consumption possible.
	And the reason why, he said, Moore's law is broken.
	It's done.
	It's over with.
	And I said, well, what are you talking about?
	No one has mentioned this to me.
	We said, yeah, that's because in the official paper from 1965, and I have a copy of that as well in the show notes, Moore's Law actually is not just the first part, which everyone remembers.
	The number of transistors doubles every 18 months.
	So this is what I didn't know, is that it had to be at the same cost, and they both said...
	I just didn't know this.
	They both said, yeah, we can...
	Do more.
	We can make it all smaller, but it's going to cost a hell of a lot more money.
	And I didn't realize that that's...
	So now everyone's trying to do less power consumption, because that, of course, helps as well.
	I didn't realize that, and now I understand why we're at a, I would say, a standstill when it comes to technological development.
	We don't have great new Apple products that are blowing us away, but I think the VR industry is probably pushing the edge, or the so-called VR industry is probably pushing the edge.
	It may not be possible.
	All of this grandiose stuff that we've been talking about just might not happen because we really are at a wall with this stuff.
	It could be reflected in the tech coverage, too.
	That's why things are all about phones.
	Yeah.
	But even you take the Apple Watch.
	I mean, it has no power.
	No.
	It has no power.
	They just couldn't get it into the case.
	If you actually did the calculation on Moore's Law backing up to the 4040, the Apple Watch should be like a supercomputer.
	Exactly.
	But it's not.
	No.
	Far from it.
	It's like a Casio.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it gives me the time and the date.
	It's great.
	It's got a nice little display.
	All right, so we thank Sir Trev and Ron.
	It was great.
	I had a good time.
	I'm glad they came through.
	Also, it looks like crazy.
	My buddy Vic, who I hadn't seen in 25 years, and his son came through last night.
	Had a quick drink of dinner with them.
	Austin, it's happening, baby!
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Kevin Strange in Norwich, Norfolk, Great Britain.
	Ninety nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine.
	Ryan.
	Oh, goals.
	Goals and liquor.
	Lictor.
	No goals and lictor.
	I looked this up because he challenged me to pronounce this.
	And you'd think it would be goals and loiter.
	But if you listen to enough pronunciations, it's goals and lictor.
	Bellingham, Washington.
	Okay.
	8880.
	Alan Boulder, Boulderoff in Nevermind, South Australia.
	Ah, boops.
	Yeah, because I did another of the...
	Oh, you did another little Easter egg?
	Yeah, because I had my favorite picture.
	Of Garfunkel.
	What's her name?
	Garfunkel?
	Oh, Guilfoyle.
	Yeah, Garfunkel.
	With their boobs.
	Yeah, with their boobs.
	Yeah.
	And so I got some takers.
	I got one, two, three, four.
	Nice.
	That's two per boob.
	Joel Blazek in Reno.
	Good score.
	Sir Joel.
	Sir Matt, the Baron of Melbourne, Victoria, Melbourne.
	Melbourne.
	8008.
	And Sir Herb Lamb in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
	8008.
	Sir Brian Greenham of Greenhams, KC9YJM, 73, 73, 73.
	73's.
	Kilo 5, Alpha Charlie, Charlie.
	Ditto.
	On my bail thing.
	Roland Boulder in Netherlands.
	Yeah, 6969.
	Sir Andrew Lemansini, a baron in American Mountain, is a baron of American Mountain.
	Lemansini.
	He's sending a note in and see what it says.
	Yeah, a handwritten note.
	This is interesting.
	I find it fascinating that John can't make it through Kurt Vonnegut's novels.
	Kurt is one of my favorite authors, blah, blah, blah, you bitches and moans.
	Right now I'm reading the Chaos Protocols, select sermons of Martin Luther King Jr., and I'm listening to peacerevolution.org.
	I am the life of the party.
	It's been too long.
	Here's some scratch.
	Nice.
	I guess he still listens to us once in a while.
	Anonymous in Leachburg, Pennsylvania, 55-55.
	Sir Shakermaker of the Black Forest in Middleton, Wisconsin, actually, 55-10.
	Let me start to dribble down here next to nothing.
	Brent Knudsen in Appleton, Wisconsin, 50-50.
	And now we have $50.01 from Carl Haberger in Rochester.
	And now these are $50 donations, name and location.
	Jeffrey Montagna in Phoenix, Arizona.
	Edgar Almaguer in Wachahachie, Texas.
	I think he's a sir.
	Maybe not.
	Tom Bell or Abel in Bergfield, Berkshire, UK.
	Jonathan Meyer in Xenia, Ohio.
	Edward Mazurik in Memphis, Tennessee.
	Drew Mochak over here in El Cerrito, California, where the post office box is.
	David Peet in Aubrey, Texas.
	Sir Brett Farrell in Oklahoma City.
	And that concludes our donation segment part two for show 832.
	I do want to remind people we do have some things happening in...
	Thank you.
	Sunday.
	Something's happening on Sunday.
	Something's going to happen on Sunday and we need some help.
	That's right.
	And a karma for everybody who needs it.
	Thank you so much, everybody.
	You've got karma.
	Highly appreciated.
	Your support keeps us going.
	What?
	No, no, no, no.
	Two quickies.
	Thomas Hithaler turned 36 on June 2nd.
	We say happy birthday to him.
	And Ashton Banta says happy birthday to her fiancé, Bo Brown.
	We, of course, back that up by saying happy birthday from all your friends and relatives here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	There you go.
	No nights, no title changes, no nothing.
	No, that stinks.
	Well, let me read something.
	One of the people sent in this thing.
	I can't remember which one of our donors.
	I do want to thank, by the way...
	Roger Bono for the little piece of contraband.
	Hey, I think I might have been DDoSed, actually.
	This is what the consensus is from the tech boys.
	That could be.
	Snowden, DDoS.
	Hmm.
	Yeah, that sums up with Snowden.
	We've noticed him's cropping up in the news, and now he's defending...
	The CIA thing has returned, and people are...
	We take...
	Okay, we got the hint...
	We'll stop talking about him.
	It's not important anyway.
	So I got this newspaper thing and there's a woman who looks...
	And I've come to this conclusion.
	I'm going to go with David Icke here.
	Oh, oh, lizard man.
	Lovely.
	I think that's the thing behind the bugs.
	Oh, the lizard people want to eat bugs, and so they want a bigger selection, so they're pushing bugs on everybody, so they have bugs to eat.
	Yeah!
	It's about time we figured that one out.
	Oh my gosh, John.
	I'm surprised Ike didn't come up with this, but he sent me this little thing.
	It's an ad for Springjobs.com, which I guess is owned by Monster.com.
	There's a picture of a woman who could be a lizard.
	And it's like a promotion for the monster for, you know, job site.
	But they have a big quote from her in here, which I found very suspicious.
	Okay.
	And the quote says, I work at a bug farm that's doing something really good, providing an alternative sustainable protein source for everyone.
	Oh, man.
	In my old job, I worked less hours, but it was the same thing all the time.
	I'd never go back.
	A Jackie and Polsky, director of operations at the big cricket farms.
	Wow.
	Well, that makes nothing but sense.
	The lizard people want us to eat both.
	Hold on to something here.
	Hey, we're late in the show, but we've had all kinds of extreme issues, but it would not be today if we didn't get you into your analysis of the Miss USA pageant, which is a staple of the No Agenda show.
	Yes, it is.
	And we might as well do it.
	I've noticed a number of things that the show is sold to this new company.
	They're worse than...
	The girls are not as pretty.
	There's a lot of thick...
	Really?
	That's bad right there.
	The girls are not pretty?
	No, a lot of them aren't.
	And they, again, picked the wrong ones.
	But this time they went all multi-culti.
	There was no white girls in the finals.
	Oh, well, there you go.
	And that was important.
	They had two black women and one Hawaiian woman who was about seven foot tall.
	And the women were thick.
	Very few had a good figure.
	Miss Missouri, who I thought was the winner in the whole group, and she had a great figure, and they did pick her for the top ten, but then they eliminated her right quickly.
	I just need to say something, because there are people who are new to this program.
	These shows are very interesting to analyze, because there's always political stuff in there.
	But also, the fact that they exist in this world of, you know, women get gypped.
	So when you hear us saying thick, not pretty, we're discussing it as television producers.
	Yes, absolutely.
	And this is on television, and no one does these reviews anymore.
	People used to review these shows.
	No one would take a chance.
	No, because nobody was braille.
	You want to get shocked?
	The first thing that happened was, you're looking at the...
	I noticed something interesting, which is the way they walk.
	Because the women were thick, they had to make them look like they had a waist, and many of them didn't.
	And so they picked up this walk.
	There's a lot of different walks that women can have that are sexy or not sexy.
	Miss Missouri, for example, had a very natural walk that was just sexy because she was very calipidious.
	Calipidious, good word.
	What does it mean?
	It means she's got a nice butt.
	Calipidious.
	Super Calipidious.
	And she just had a good walk.
	And there's a lot of girls that, you know, there's different kinds of walks out there, but the way that you walk, that this show really epitomized, was the very strange, you know, some walks you see women, one button goes up and then the other one, and back and forth, and it's like a funny walk.
	Like a switch butt?
	I guess I could call it that.
	But the walk that they were employing mostly, and the women I think that were all in the final three were all doing this, was the swing button.
	The sway, the whole both buns go back and forth.
	At the same time.
	Yeah.
	It looks great.
	It's a back and forth thing.
	But if you had put a broom in their butt hole and they walked down the street, they'd be sweeping the sidewalk.
	That's the way you have to imagine this.
	Got it.
	Thanks for the visual.
	That was what they were employing, and it was interesting to me.
	Now, the way it was started, let's play the first one.
	They had a disco, not a disco, but a DJ, a couple of DJ women from Australia or something, playing loud music at the beginning.
	So the women, to introduce themselves, had to shout.
	Let's play Miss USA shouting to get an example of this.
	That's bad production right there.
	Yeah, they were shouting like crazy.
	And here's another one shouting, too.
	This is Miss California who sounded like an alcoholic.
	I think it's because you pulled out her vocal.
	I just tased her.
	She blew out her vocal cords.
	We're going to get to the...
	The meat and potatoes.
	The meat and potatoes.
	One is the long question thing.
	Well, let's start a few things.
	They're going to...
	Let's go with the long clip that we're going to interrupt a lot.
	And this is all the questions.
	Now, they did a pretty good job of moving this along, so I made it just one long clip.
	And so we can go through each...
	Oh, so you took everyone's final question and put it into one long clip.
	Then they had another, and it's called the fiasco clip.
	Then they had another question, a final question of the last three with the earphones on and all this bullcrap.
	These questions were absolutely the worst.
	Miss California, who got in the top group of finalists, not the final three, but the final ten or six or whatever, she actually choked and couldn't answer the questions.
	Fantastic.
	A choker.
	A choker.
	Now, you'll be able to identify the winner of the entire competition because there was a hidden agenda to this whole show, and the hidden agenda was, well, you'll see.
	Let's play the clips.
	And I will point out, I have no idea who won.
	I was able to avoid.
	I didn't see it.
	Of course, how many people watch this?
	Did they have ratings?
	Me.
	Here it is.
	Define confidently beautiful.
	No, no, no.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	This is the wrong one?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Oh, okay.
	It's the six-minute clip.
	I'm sorry.
	It's the fiasco.
	I didn't understand.
	Yeah, fiasco.
	Here we go.
	The contestants will be hearing the question for the very first time, and they'll have 30 seconds to answer.
	When the time is up, they'll all hear this sound.
	Wow, someone made money on that.
	Yeah, we need a bingle sound when the question's up.
	I got one!
	And for our judges at home, make sure you have your devices handy.
	You're a judge at home.
	Is your device ready?
	I didn't have a device.
	I didn't know what this was about.
	I got gypped.
	Oh, well, you should be a home judge.
	Make sure you have your devices handy and get ready to score your favorite answers live.
	What, your fleshlight?
	What kind of device do we have to have handy?
	During the commercial break, we randomly picked an order and Alabama will tackle the first question.
	Alabama, please come join us to the center stage and receive your question from judge number one, Allie Landry.
	Who's the judge?
	Allie who?
	I don't know.
	All the judges were stiffs.
	Hi.
	Hi, girls.
	I just first want to tell all of you, just take a deep breath and let the nerves go, right?
	Right.
	And we just want everything for you.
	Do you?
	And because this is your moment right here.
	All right.
	So let's do this.
	All right.
	So here we go.
	Here we go.
	Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali passed away Friday night at the age of 74.
	What should be remembered most about his legacy?
	Are you kidding me?
	Can I answer this?
	Go ahead.
	Let me see.
	Well, we could say he was incredibly important for equal rights.
	We could say he was incredibly...
	He was a poet.
	Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
	We could say he was a great fighter!
	I think that Muhammad Ali was obviously amazing at what he did.
	I just think that we should remember to go for success and do what you can to be on top.
	I think he lived by that, and he was so successful in his sport.
	And yeah, never give up.
	Reach your dreams.
	In his fort?
	Sport.
	Oh, sport.
	Yeah.
	Never give up.
	Never give up.
	Don't forget.
	Never give up.
	Beat your dreams.
	So she's done.
	Done.
	She's out.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	She's out.
	I'm going to give you a warning about who got...
	She's out.
	Hold on a second.
	She's out.
	We got our own hook here.
	She's out.
	Next.
	Thank you, Alabama.
	District of Columbia, please come join our center stage.
	For District of Columbia, judge number two, Josie, has your question.
	I do.
	I have a question that is maybe a little bit personal and close to your heart.
	The Pentagon recently made the decision to open up all combat jobs to women.
	Now, some have questioned.
	Yes, great, right?
	Now, some have questioned whether this has...
	Great ride.
	Isn't that great ride?
	It's great ride.
	So he doesn't have to go shoot anyone.
	That's right.
	Great ride.
	Some have Question whether this has put political correctness over our military's ability to perform at the highest level.
	What are your thoughts?
	As a woman in the United States Army, it was an amazing job by our government to allow women to integrate into every branch of the military.
	We are just as tough as men.
	As a commander...
	As a commander of my unit, I'm powerful.
	I am dedicated.
	And it is important that we recognize that gender does not limit us in the United States.
	Well, I guess that wraps up the segment.
	She's the winner.
	There's no doubt about it.
	But keep listening.
	How hard was that?
	Do you have some dumb ones?
	Not hard at all.
	Wow.
	It was militarism.
	Fantastic.
	By the way, this was not the most attractive of the women.
	The other black woman that was in the three, which is Miss Georgia, looked like just a good-looking woman, although she was not smiling all the time.
	And I saw that she was not going to win.
	I think she knew she wasn't going to win.
	This girl was really kind of anorexic.
	And, you know, I don't know if she's a commander or something, but I kept looking at her and thinking Don Cheadle was...
	How hot Miss USA is Don Cheadle in a dress.
	Sorry.
	Send your notes to adam at curry.com.
	We'll play the rest of these.
	Yeah, I love hearing these.
	It's unbelievable.
	Militaristic once again.
	Thank you, District of Columbia.
	Good job.
	Georgia.
	Georgia.
	Please come join the center stage for Georgia.
	Judge number five, Crystal Stewart.
	Wow, man.
	They just won't stop.
	Are they all jacked up?
	Are they at a base or something?
	Who has your question?
	Hello, Miss Georgia.
	Hello.
	How are you tonight?
	Good.
	Yeah, a little nervous.
	Good.
	Let's get to it.
	Over the last four years, 17 states have passed stringent voting laws.
	Many civil rights leaders believe we are making it too difficult for people to vote.
	What do you think?
	I think it goes back to education.
	I think that we need to start with the youth and teach them how important voting is.
	I think that if we teach them how important it is and we put that in our school systems, then it will be a lot easier for people to understand how difficult voting can be.
	It's so difficult.
	Check.
	She blew it right there.
	She knew she wasn't going to get anywhere.
	Thank you.
	She was very pretty, though, this girl.
	Why do women allow other women to embarrass themselves, to be embarrassed like this?
	In your underwear.
	Yeah.
	I like this.
	Thank you, Georgia.
	Thank you, Georgia.
	Bye!
	Will you please come join us on the stage?
	Here we go.
	She blows it.
	This is the choker?
	She chokes.
	Nice.
	And she's kind of a cute Hispanic girl, but she just blows it like this.
	This is the worst, by the way.
	Now, one of the biggest challenges facing the United States is social and economic inequality.
	How do we narrow the gap?
	Really, is that the biggest challenge for the United States is social inequality?
	That's the stupid questions.
	How do we narrow the gap between the rich and the poor?
	.
	By eating them!
	When it comes to social and economic equality, I think that the rich and the poor need to stop being so segregated.
	I think there is a middle class.
	I think that the rich need to...
	Take a breath.
	All right, all right.
	I gotta give it to you for that.
	That was good.
	All right, well, you gotta go to the last one.
	Of course, but that was fantastic.
	That was great.
	Yeah, she just choked.
	Now, the last one...
	Hey, man, don't be...
	Let's get along, Richie.
	Richie Rich.
	I think the last girl who was Mr.
	Wyatt, who did get into the final three, was a seven-foot woman.
	Yeah.
	And she...
	Wait, let me take a look at her.
	Let me take a look at her.
	What's her name?
	What's she's Miss Who?
	Hawaii.
	She does sound a little too Hawaiian.
	It's like a slightly annoying accent.
	She should have called them out for this.
	She would have won, I think, if she would have called them out for this question and told them it's none of your damn business and it's an insult to be asked this question in this venue.
	That's what she should have said.
	But no, that's not what she says at all.
	There's another one with a multi-culti face.
	Yeah, she's totally multi-culti.
	No, I'm still looking at the picture.
	Oh my god.
	How tall is she?
	I don't know, but she towered over everybody.
	5'8".
	Not that tall.
	Well, then she just gets her all midgets then.
	They must have been shorties.
	They must have been shorties.
	I think that the rich need to be able to be giving, and I think the poor need to work hard, and I think the middle class need to come together and find an in-between thing.
	Wait, was that the previous one?
	I'm sorry, I rolled it back too far.
	Yeah, that's still Miss California trying to get out of her mess.
	Trying to get out of it?
	No, no, no.
	Go away.
	Thank you so much, California.
	Thank you so much for making it funny.
	What a tough question.
	Hawaii, please come center stage for Hawaii, our last remaining finalist.
	Her waist is the size of my thigh.
	That's what's going on with her.
	My God.
	Laura Brown, judge number three, has your question.
	Whoa, I can't hear over these people.
	Miss Hawaii, hello.
	Hello.
	Okay.
	With Hillary Clinton expected to surpass the delicate count needed to win the Democratic Party nomination, my question to you is...
	If the election were held tomorrow, would you vote Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump for president?
	And why would you choose one over the other?
	Oh, man!
	The audience began to boo.
	Yeah.
	Now, you can play her out, because she beats around the bush.
	She doesn't answer the question at all.
	Well, she doesn't have to.
	She doesn't have to.
	And so, you might as well play it out, and then I want you to play what happened after this.
	Okay.
	Right?
	All I have to say, it doesn't matter what gender.
	What we need in the United States is someone who represents those of us who don't feel like we have a voice.
	Those of us who want our voices heard.
	We need a president to push for what is right and push for what America really needs.
	Thank you.
	Okay, now they give her a big round of applause for not answering the question.
	Everyone kind of says that they go to commercial and when they come back, When they come back, apparently what had happened was during the commercial, the Twitter feeds have lit up condemning the people that were asking the question, especially that last woman over this voting question.
	Everybody was upset about it.
	And so play Miss USA booing over questions.
	2016, live from Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena.
	Oh my goodness, I am still thinking about those interview questions.
	And by the way, the questions were picked by Miss USA. The organization selected those questions, they put them together.
	So if you're on Twitter, the judges did not come up with those questions, alright?
	Just so that you know.
	Hey, don't be boring!
	Alright?
	They were randomly picked.
	And actually, I gotta say...
	Oh man, wimp.
	Women.
	So the sink fell apart right there.
	Right.
	So they went to the final question thing, but before they did that, there was another little blip that got to me.
	Oh, no.
	This is when they do the final question, and they preface it with this.
	This is the Miss USA Women Supporting Women New Rules.
	Oh, boy.
	I'll ask you each the very same question, and you'll have 60 seconds to respond.
	Now remember, at this point in the competition, the judging panel has gotten a lot bigger.
	Not only are the judges and the fans voting on your answers, but now your fellow contestants are also weighing in.
	Here's the meeting.
	Hey, man, since we bought this from Trump, we gotta spice it up, spice it up, spice it up.
	Come on.
	Come on, team.
	Who's got an idea?
	How can we spice it up?
	Do something a little different, a little different.
	I know.
	Let's have them vote against each other.
	Yeah, well that's not the way the co-host sees it.
	Which I absolutely love because you know what?
	It's women supporting women.
	It's women judging women.
	Yeah, it's women supporting women.
	Oh my gosh!
	This is the worst show in history.
	You know, I don't like any of these women.
	I'll take Tulsi Gabbard over Miss Hawaii any day.
	These women are phony.
	This is no good.
	I told you there wasn't an attractive crowd.
	It's not about attractive.
	They're just phony.
	Well, there's that.
	Phony.
	Phony baloney.
	Final one?
	You can play the end.
	This is the final question.
	You can just hear the question.
	The answers are all lame.
	The black army girl, the one that's in there, wants to shoot people.
	She wins easily.
	And the other two lose.
	And the one that comes in last, which is Miss Georgia of the three, which I felt bad about, but she was not presenting herself well, but she was really the prettiest of the group.
	This show should be taken off the air for actually making women fight each other.
	And it's also racist.
	Yeah.
	Let's play.
	You can just hear the beginning of the final question, and you can play as much as you want.
	Here it is.
	Define confidently beautiful.
	I know that very well.
	I use that on Instagram all the time.
	But Confidently Beautiful...
	Was that rigged?
	Oh, it's about her.
	The question is about her?
	Is that the idea?
	This is the same question I'm going to ask all three.
	They all got headphones on.
	Define Confidently Beautiful.
	I don't know what the point of the question is, but okay.
	So they all give a lame answer.
	Actually, let it play at least through the next one.
	I will shut up.
	I'm going to shut up.
	Because she goes on and on about a bunch of bull crap.
	Y'all do.
	Instagram all the time.
	But confidently beautiful means knowing who you are.
	Loving yourself for who you are.
	Loving yourself no matter what your flaws are.
	Because your flaws are what make you beautiful.
	Thank you.
	I see your dad out there.
	He's a capital man.
	Giving you a lot of love.
	Capital man.
	Thank you so much, Georgia.
	Please take the headphones off for Hawaii.
	Emma.
	Emma.
	Whoa.
	Hawaii.
	To find confidently beautiful.
	Great question.
	Thank you.
	Confidently beautiful is...
	Is that a great question?
	Not a great question.
	Confidently beautiful is someone who's not just beautiful on the outside.
	It's someone who serves, someone who helps, and someone who cares for everybody.
	Whether the homeless, the helpless, making other people feel loved and feel important, humbling yourself is what's important.
	And I think that is the type of beauty that will last a lifetime.
	Thank you.
	Now, it's interesting.
	She's one of these people who pronounces important with a T. Important.
	Important.
	Important.
	Let me tell you about Emma Wo.
	She's a 25-year-old PR executive at the Bennett Group Public Relations, where she represents clients in the areas of travel, tourism, real estate.
	A fashion blogger.
	And she's the owner of thealohababe.com.
	Thank you, Hawaii.
	Please take the headphones off for District of Columbia.
	Thank you.
	Did you hear the music?
	The music just...
	Got a little more intense.
	Well, she's the one that they want to pump.
	That's really interesting.
	That's really interesting.
	Get more black people to join the army.
	It's really interesting.
	You hear it goes into, the minute they announce her, the music goes into a more high tension.
	Wait, let me back a little bit so you can hear that.
	That was pretty interesting.
	Please take the headphones off for District of Columbia.
	Listen, here it comes.
	Here it is, see?
	District of Columbia, please step forward.
	Just went up.
	Define confidently beautiful.
	To me, confidently beautiful means understanding that it's not always about your parents.
	It's not always about who you're around and how they feel you look, where they feel you come from, or your economic background.
	Serving in the military has taught me that being confidently beautiful is about being able to earn respect from people regardless of what you look like.
	What?
	Wait, wait, wait.
	What did she say?
	What?
	Let me hear it again.
	Being in the military, being confidently beautiful is getting respect.
	What you look like.
	As a woman in the military...
	People associate beauty with weakness, and they learn very quickly that I'm extremely strong, and although I'm small, I'm powerful, and confidently beautiful is being myself and being very happy with who I've become.
	Thank you.
	Woo!
	Well, small but powerful.
	She said powerful about herself twice.
	Yeah.
	She wins.
	Hi!
	Please clap.
	No more clips.
	That's just bullcrap.
	It's all bullcrap.
	I think stunk.
	I resent having to do this.
	Let me just look at the woman who won.
	Oh, Deshauna?
	Deshauna Barber?
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	They never mention their names.
	They just say Miss So-and-so for whatever state they're from.
	I never did hear their names once at the beginning.
	Deshauna Barber.
	26 years old, born in Columbus, Georgia.
	Located many times, currently working as an IT. She's in Miss D.C. The other one was Miss Georgia.
	This is Miss D.C. Yeah, but she comes from Georgia.
	Born in Columbus, Georgia.
	That's loading it up.
	But she also lived in North Carolina, Nebraska, Minnesota, Virginia, and finally D.C. She's in the agency.
	She is an IT analyst for the U.S. Department of Commerce.
	No, she's in the military.
	She's in the army.
	It says it right here.
	Are you reading from the 2016 event?
	Are we the District of Columbia or are we talking Georgia?
	District of Columbia.
	District of Columbia.
	Yes, this is the 2016 winner.
	Well, she comes off like she's a sergeant.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Here we go.
	I gotta read the whole thing.
	Being the daughter of a retired Army Master Sergeant, it's no shocker that Deshauna decided to join the Army.
	She commissioned as a quartermaster officer in 2011, is currently a logistics commander for the 988th Quartermaster Detachment Unit at Fort Meade, Maryland.
	She's a logistics commander?
	She's talking about being tough and going out and shooting people?
	You can't have that pen!
	I'm sorry, that's inventory.
	You can't walk there.
	I don't have any more toilet paper.
	I don't know exactly what she does.
	I don't know.
	Logistics.
	She calls UPS. Hey, can you guys pick up some packages?
	We've got to send them over to Fort Polk.
	Dishana has a passion to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, specifically focusing her platform on PTSD treatment for soldiers returning from deployments and suicide prevention in the armed forces.
	Very good.
	That's good.
	Very good.
	Well, thank you, John.
	Good report.
	It's pathetic.
	Once again, it's pathetic that women are subjected to this.
	It's pathetic that it's allowed on television in today's politically correct world.
	I agree.
	And, but the most egregious...
	Yeah, I don't know.
	These aren't pretty women.
	If you want to do just great woman competition, I think they all qualify.
	Oh, yeah.
	In fact, most of them have great backgrounds.
	I'm not going to argue about that.
	Yeah, and talent.
	Were there any baton twirling?
	No talent in Miss USA. No talent.
	Oh, no baton twirling.
	Oh, man.
	Nope.
	That's Miss America.
	That's different.
	I'm going to spin the wheel before we get out of here, John.
	Spin the clip wheel.
	wheel.
	Do I want to do a clip that Okay, let's talk.
	I have a clip wheel, too.
	I have a clip wheel, too.
	Two-part clip.
	Okay.
	Okay, this is the ESPN. This is a big story.
	We're ignoring all the real action going on.
	This was the big story, and it turned out that ESPN covered it the best, as well they should.
	But let's play ESPN Twitter 1.
	This was kind of a crazy deal, man, with the NFL. The NFL's Twitter account was hacked, and the hacked tweet said, we regret to inform our fans that our commissioner, Roger Goodell, has passed away.
	He was 57.
	Listen, that's not even funny, okay?
	Because this thing got reported, and...
	You know, I mean, you're reading that.
	And that's their official account.
	You see that check mark there?
	That means that's their official account.
	Yeah, so then Goodell, you know, listen, at least he took it in stride.
	He had a good humor about it.
	He said, man, you leave the office for a day of golf with Jim Kelly and your own network kills you off.
	Hash Brown, harsh.
	So not funny, but Goodell's showing a good sense of humor.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	Did he say hash brown instead of hashtag?
	Yeah, they always say hash brown on that network.
	Oh, they say hash brown?
	It's one of their things.
	Oh, okay.
	And so, it's like, you know, the guy, you know, the guy came in, you know, the guy weighs a buck fifty is another classic thing.
	They at least got rid of that.
	Now, what happened was there was a hack of the guy from the NFL Network's Twitter account, and they said the guy who runs the NFL's dead.
	That's fantastic.
	R.I.P. That's fantastic.
	I just thought, nowadays, that was not funny.
	Personally, I thought it was kind of funny.
	Mainly because CNN and all these guys started running it on their lower third without checking anything.
	So part two, luckily ESPN is one of the few network operations that didn't get suckered because of this guy who happened to be one of their go-to guys.
	Death by tweeter.
	That is great.
	That's how I want to go.
	Adam Schefter joins us.
	You're our NFL insider, and you got inside this story without even knowing you were inside the story.
	Well, Neil, it was very odd.
	this afternoon, essentially, I happened to be on the phone with the NFL, hung up to track a piece that I had been working on.
	And as I was tracking that piece, my cell phone began ringing wildly and uncontrollably.
	And it kept going and going and going.
	And that doesn't usually happen that much on June 7th.
	So finally, I said, I have to pick this up.
	And I picked it up.
	And it was our news desk trying to confirm the news that came from the NFL's verified Twitter account that Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, had passed away at the age of 57.
	And I said, no way.
	I was just on the phone with one of his deputies moments ago.
	We were talking about the commissioner.
	It would be practically impossible that he was gone.
	At the same time, there were other networks actually broadcasting the news on their bottom line that Roger Goodell had passed away at the age of 57.
	So for a 10-minute span there, everybody in the Twitterverse, everybody on the Internet was wondering whether or not the commissioner had signed out.
	Okay.
	Who gives a crap about this?
	This was big news.
	All the networks played it.
	All the networks played it, except Democracy Now.
	It's unbelievable to me.
	And meanwhile, nobody's talking about anything that's actually going on.
	Hey, a comic strip blogger just sent me a link, a note.
	He says, you've got to look at Deshauna Barber's LinkedIn.
	Oh, John, I'm telling you, no doubt.
	Spot the spook.
	Spot the spook.
	Everybody wants to spot the spook.
	Here we go.
	Deshauna Barber.
	This is the winner.
	Yes, the winner.
	So, United States Army Reserve, but she works for Triumph Enterprises, Inc., That's stated as her current employer, which I find strange.
	Oh, here we go.
	Triumph Enterprises, Inc.
	Offers the federal, civilian, and defense markets personalized, knowledge-based professional services.
	Our company provides world-class solutions to our clients and fosters a culture wherein our people are empowered to make a positive difference.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Founded in 2005.
	Triumph, a financially strong, growth-oriented service.
	Disabled veteran-owned small business.
	Headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia.
	One of my favorite places.
	200 employees.
	And that is all the, that's the IT stuff.
	Now let's go down.
	You should pull this up, John.
	Let's see.
	Company commander.
	Oh, here we go.
	Commands or exercises staff, responsibility for units, engaged in petroleum and or water operations, directs acquisition, storage, inspection, testing, issue, and distribution of petroleum products.
	Yeah.
	She's in the warehouse.
	Monitors unit spill containment and cleanup operations.
	Now, let's see, she was a unit executive officer in the reserves.
	IT, oh, IT business analyst at the Department of Navy in 2013.
	Okay.
	Program analyst, technical writer at the FAA. Program analyst at the Department of Defense.
	Come on.
	Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious.
	I'd say she's a spook.
	I find it strange that we have the intelligence community worming their way into these beauty pageants now.
	And winning!
	And winning!
	Well, they're obviously going to win.
	Her education was the Knowledgey DC Megacenter.
	What is that?
	I've never heard of this.
	I got one clip, one final clip, because this was on the radar for months and months and months and months and months.
	We had played many clips from the consultant who came in to run the agency, Kosh Kinan.
	Of course, I'm talking about the IRS. In case you had forgotten, there was an accusation that the IRS had targeted conservative groups who wanted a non-profit status.
	And then they lost the emails.
	They were deleted.
	Some dude named Ben had maybe helped him out or something.
	Well, guess what?
	I can't believe this.
	Maybe you saw it somewhere.
	I didn't.
	The federal appeals court has succeeded in doing what congressional Republicans have long tried to do to force the IRS to produce a list of the groups that were unfairly and perhaps illegally targeted for scrutiny.
	The document production came in response to a class action lawsuit by NorCal Tea Party Patriots, but only after a group of frustrated federal judges had lost all patience with the stonewalling of the IRS and the Justice Department lawyers representing it.
	In a March 22nd opinion from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Raymond Ketledge wrote this, quote, At every turn, the IRS has resisted the plaintiff's request for information regarding the IRS's treatment of plaintiff class.
	Eventually, to the open frustration Of the district court.
	In its filing, the IRS released a list of 426 organizations that were singled out for extra scrutiny.
	Sixty of the groups used the word T in their name.
	Thirty-three had Patriot.
	Eight used the word Constitution in their name, while 26 others had the word Liberty in theirs.
	Quoting now from the March 22nd opinion, the circuit court judges reminded the public of just what the IRS put these groups through.
	Quote, In all,
	the IRS made 19 separate requests that ran five single-space pages, many of which had six or more sub-parts, demanding documentation of every word of every speech given to or by the organization, and so much more.
	The intended effect?
	To make compliance all but impossible.
	Sounds like an admission of guilt.
	There you have it.
	Another thing nobody's covering.
	And thanks, Obama.
	That's really frightening.
	I'm not afraid of ISIS. I'm afraid of the IRS being used as a tool to screw you.
	It's been done.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but not in the Obama administration.
	Oh, no.
	Most transparent ever.
	Scrub.
	All right, everybody.
	Hey, is this tonight the fourth game?
	No, no, the fourth game is Friday.
	Okay, because they lost, so it's 2-1 now.
	I'm following along.
	Oh, you are?
	Well, that's good.
	It's my brother, Steph, you know.
	Steph.
	Steph Curry.
	We call him Steph.
	I think he's injured or something, because he's just not performing well.
	We call him my brother from another mother.
	There you go.
	All right.
	All right, everybody, thank you so much for...
	Thank you for your patience and your courage and patience, of course, with the stream.
	Looks like we were DDoS, and we'll have to figure out what we do with that.
	But luckily, we have Void Zero and Mountain Vortex, both of them on the case as usual.
	And we will return on Sunday.
	Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Coming to you from the skyscraper in the Crackpot Condo in downtown Austin, FEMA Region 6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it was garbage day, they took out the garbage, and I did a show.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	What a life, everybody, what a life.
	We'll be back on Sunday, right here, on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos!
	We've seen more manufacturing jobs created since I've been president than any time since the 1990s.
	Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la But frankly, part of it's had to do with a bunch of okey-doke.
	That's a fact.
	Why doesn't Bernie Sanders do better with African Americans?
	It doesn't make sense in terms of his message.
	I don't know why it wouldn't resonate.
	It's not his weakness.
	It's Hillary's strength.
	I think we're looking at the wrong side of the equation.
	But what is her access to...
	Well, that totally sucks balls.
	That's not what I wanted to play.
	Ah!
	Screw it.
	I'll edit that out.
	I love bugs!
	Bugs, bugs, bugs!
	I am saying to the American people that they will make the right choice here.
	If we turn against each other based on divisions of race, religion, if we fall for...
	If we fall...
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	OK, OK, OK, OK. OK.
	You know, it sounds funnier.
	The tweets are, sir, sir.
	The tweets are, sir.
	The tweets are, sir.
	Yeah.
	In the morning.
	African-American over here.
	Look at him.
	Look at my African American over here.
	Look at him.
	Are you the greatest?
	Do you know what I'm talking about?
	And frankly, if...
	Look at him.
	Who happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great.
	I think that's fine.
	I'm building a wall.
	And it's a wall between...
	My opinion.
	He's from Indiana.
	And frankly... I have a Mexican judge.
	Not the deaf in me.
	My opinion.
	He's from Indiana.
	And frankly... Of racism.
	I'm building a wall.
	And it's a wall between Mexico, not another country.
	They'd be fired.
	But he's not from...
	He's not from...
	In my opinion.
	He's from Indiana.
	And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a Mexican judge, I don't think she'd get 5% of the vote.
	He's Mexican, which is great.
	I think that's fine.
	Look at him.
	Building a wall.
	And it's a wall between you.
	I have a Mexican.
	My opinion's from India.
	Look at my African-American over here.
	Look at him.
	And frankly, I think that's fine.
	Building a wall.
	And it's a wall.
	And now that he's the presumptive Republican nominee.
	African-American over here.
	I need some questions.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Amen.
	Adios, mofo.
