	Essentially twisted by porn.
	Yeah.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorah.
	It's Thursday, July 28, 2016.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 846.
	This is no agenda.
	Wondering if I'll ever recover from the media abuse bestowed upon us this week and broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State and FEMA Region 6, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm burned out by this, I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Well, indeed.
	This, without a doubt, I think, has been an incredible two weeks in modern media, John.
	And, and, I just need to say this at the beginning.
	Although it won't play out in the traditional manner, civil war is imminent.
	In fact, it's already begun.
	And it will be a literal civil war.
	I don't think we'll be shooting each other on the street, maybe not in north and south with, you know, front lines.
	It'll start on social media, where it has begun, and it will be civil, as in we're not necessarily going to kill each other, but the civil war has begun in America.
	Well, a lot of it has to do with this Democratic convention, which was supposed to be better planned and smoother sailing and all the rest of it, included things such as having Norm Panetta pretty much shouted off the stage.
	Leon, not Norm, Leon.
	Norm Panetta.
	Who's Norm?
	Leon, yeah, I don't know who Norm is.
	There's some guy that's Norm.
	Leah and Panetta.
	Wait a minute.
	Have you been drinking?
	No, but I need to be.
	If I go get some vodka, I might be better off.
	I have Panetta from the DNC. I have a little clip from him.
	Do you have the part where he's getting booed off the stage?
	No.
	No.
	I'm sure we have very different clips.
	I don't know if you want to start with Panetta.
	Do you want to play something?
	I want to start with there's a clip in there.
	Obama.
	There's two clips that say demonize.
	One of them is the demonize clip where he says, we should not be demonizing people.
	And then he starts demonizing.
	Okay, so which one do I play first?
	I don't want to have the first one.
	Just the demonize.
	The Donald is not really a plan.
	No, no.
	Play the other one.
	The democracy doesn't work if we constantly demonize each other.
	Ah, okay.
	That was the one.
	So he says that they started off the whole convention with, let's don't demonize anybody.
	And as you recall, on the...
	PBS NewsHour, Shields, Mark Shields, says, oh, well, the great thing about the replay, it's not going to be so much about Trump.
	Dude, they had packages.
	They had amazing production all about Trump.
	I would say they have some spectacular...
	some spectacular videos they did a number of things much better than the Republicans did but for the most part it was all about Trump if we want to get that out of the way if you don't mind at least get So we seem balanced, because people think we're big Trump supporters when we're neutral.
	Well, just because we talk about lies...
	Well, it's because they lie.
	We'll get to it later, but I've had some very horrible experiences, which is why I've called the Civil War a reality.
	So, yeah, you go ahead and...
	Well, okay, well, let's do this.
	I have an idea.
	This is something we've never done on the show before, and I don't know if we can do it.
	Okay.
	And it just gives me just enough time to run downstairs and get my notepad, which is very necessary for this.
	But I have one whole segment of clips called Trump Slam.
	Yeah.
	These are just probably one-tenth of what really went on at this convention.
	These are one slam clip after another about Trump.
	Can you possibly play them one after another?
	Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
	They're all short.
	Yeah.
	You don't seem to have a...
	Let's see.
	I have...
	I have six, seven, eight, nine...
	There's a missing number.
	Don't worry about it.
	You don't have to play them in any particular order.
	Okay, so what you're going to do is you're going to go get your notes, and then I will just play some of this.
	It doesn't matter what order I play them in.
	Yeah, just play them.
	This, to me, epitomizes this convention.
	Okay, and I can...
	How Trump University cheated me out of the money I received after my husband's death.
	And if you think that the last thing this nation needs in our White House, in that Oval Office, is an unsteady, unqualified bully who points fingers rather than offering a hand to those who are defenseless, stand up!
	Where Donald Trump has left behind a well-documented record of bankruptcies and thousands of lawsuits and angry stockholders and contractors who feel cheated and disillusioned customers who feel they've been ripped off.
	That's not Donald Trump's story.
	Just listen to me a second without booing or cheering.
	I mean it sincerely.
	We should really think about this.
	His cynicism is unbounded.
	His lack of empathy and compassion can be summed up in a phrase I suspect he's most proud of having made famous.
	You're fired.
	It is deadly serious.
	Donald Trump asks our troops to commit war crimes.
	Try to rise in the polls by dragging our national conversation into the gutter.
	We've watched him mock, cruelly mock, a journalist's disability.
	We've watched him demean the service of my Senate colleagues saying, he's not a war hero.
	He was a war hero because he was captured.
	Trump said, I don't like people who get captured.
	Would he say that to POWs from World War II? Would he say that to POWs from Vietnam?
	Would he say that to the brave men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan right now, risking capture or worse?
	That's not the commander of chief.
	We've watched Donald Trump paint with a broad divisive brush saying that Mexican immigrants who came to build a better life in America are, in his words, bringing crime.
	They're bringing drugs.
	He called many of them rapists.
	This isn't reality television.
	This is reality.
	And we need a serious-minded leader who puts families first, not a thin-skinned bully who puts himself first.
	The democracy doesn't work if we constantly demonize each other.
	I nailed that one.
	Beautiful.
	Yeah, I particularly...
	I really liked the videos because they had beautiful videos produced.
	There's some other topics, not just about Trump specifically, but every topic had something about Trump in there.
	Those were the short ones.
	I wouldn't mind playing, let me see, just Panetta on...
	Now, Panetta, of course, has this consulting company now.
	He was the Secretary of Defense.
	Did he run CIA as well?
	I think he did, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	Before that?
	They don't put that on his...
	On his resume?
	That's funny.
	Oh, really?
	They only put it on the Secretary of Defense.
	I thought for a guy...
	And I'll say, I didn't clip it.
	He ended his speech with, God bless our troops, and I think he might have said our country...
	No, no.
	He said our troops?
	Okay.
	I'm going to go over my list.
	Yeah, I believe you.
	He said just the troops.
	Just the troops?
	Okay.
	So here's him about Trump.
	Donald Trump today once again took Russia's side.
	He asked the Russians to interfere in American politics.
	Think about that.
	Think about it.
	Think about that for a moment.
	Donald Trump, who wants to be president of the United States, is asking one of our adversaries to engage in hacking or intelligence efforts against the United States of America to effect an election.
	As someone who was responsible for protecting our nation from cyber attacks, it is inconceivable to me that any presidential candidate would be that irresponsible.
	Thank you.
	I say this Out of a firm concern for the future of my children and my grandchildren, Donald Trump cannot become our Commander-in-Chief.
	He can't be our Commander-in-Chief.
	Hold on.
	In an unstable world...
	In an unstable world, we cannot afford unstable leadership.
	We cannot afford someone who believes America should withdraw from the world, threatens our international treaties and violates our moral principles.
	We cannot afford an erratic finger on our nuclear weapons.
	The democracy doesn't work if we constantly demonize each other.
	Okay.
	This is my new Evergreen.
	You can use that as his name.
	It's my new Evergreen.
	I would like to kind of get to the hack and the Russian thing first.
	Okay.
	Because it's kind of fresh in everybody's mind.
	And what I would like to do is read part of, for me, the start of the Civil War.
	Alright, you're going to make this your theme today.
	Yeah, but once I get past this, it'll be out of my system.
	I'm going to stop and mention what you said earlier so I can get you back on that track, which was something that was personal to you.
	Yes, it is personal because I lost friends, kind of friends.
	Okay, here we go.
	And maybe I should play the genesis of this story.
	So, the WikiLeaks, WikiLeaks, mind you, released the DNC emails.
	They haven't said where they come from.
	Guccifer, who we've talked about for several weeks, says that he gave it to them.
	It doesn't matter.
	And my thesis is an inside job by a disgruntled DNC person.
	We'll get to that.
	But the spin, which I thought was very interesting, came from Robbie Mook.
	And he is a campaign manager for Hillary Clinton.
	And I believe this is the first interview.
	He's apparently a friend of mine because I've been getting emails from him.
	Oh yes, I get emails from Robbie too, all the time.
	Except he thinks my name is Bill for some reason.
	That's right.
	He doesn't understand your name.
	Here he is.
	What is the reaction of the Clinton campaign to these DNC leaked emails suggesting that top officials, including the CFO there, were actively discussing ways to hurt Bernie Sanders in the primaries?
	Well, I think the DNC needs to look into this and take appropriate action, and I'm sure that they will.
	What's disturbing to us is that experts are telling us that Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails, and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually helping Donald Trump.
	I don't think it's coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention here.
	And that's disturbing.
	And I think we need to be concerned about that.
	I think we need to be concerned that we also saw last week at the Republican convention that Trump and his allies made changes to the Republican platform to make it more pro-Russian.
	And we saw him talking about how NATO shouldn't...
	The making it more pro-Russian, because of course it read both platforms.
	We're saying we will talk to countries like Russia and North Korea.
	It's not exactly making it more pro-Russian, but okay.
	Intervene to defend, necessarily should intervene to defend our Eastern European allies if they're attacked by Russia.
	So I think when you put all this together, it's a disturbing picture, and I think voters need to reflect on that.
	But it's a very, very strong charge that you're leveling here.
	You're basically suggesting that Russians hacked into the DNC and now are releasing these files through WikiLeaks to help elect Donald Trump.
	Well, this isn't my assertion.
	There are a number of experts that are asserting this.
	I think we need to get to the bottom of these facts.
	But that is what experts are telling us.
	Experts have said that it is the Russians that in fact went in and took these emails.
	And then if they are the ones who took them, we have to infer that they are the ones then releasing them.
	Okay, so this launched quite a big meme, and there's a number of other funny clips we can listen to, but I need to tell you my personal experience, because, of course, I went in, read every single report, and, you know, it's FireEye, we know who they are, CrowdStrike, well, those are the guys with that phony baloney map that they were shopping around with all the...
	So you can hire these guys to say anything, I'm pretty sure.
	But, you know, number one is Russia didn't release anything.
	WikiLeaks.
	And so when people say Russia released, Russia did this.
	No, WikiLeaks.
	WikiLeaks.
	And I think that, you know, they're making some...
	Which we've assumed is a CIA operation.
	Yes.
	Well, I don't know about that now, but...
	No, I think I can still make the argument.
	I'll tell you why later.
	So anyway, so of course, the brain professor in California posted an article from Slate.
	And he said, this is really bad.
	Now, this, of course, is he and his wife are the obots or part of the obot dinners.
	That's over now.
	The DNC dump may not have revealed a conspiracy that could end the candidacy, but it succeeded in casting a pall of anxiety over this election.
	We know that the Russians have a further stash of documents from the DNC and another set of document purloined from the Clinton Foundation.
	In other words, Vladimir Putin is now treating American democracy with the same respect he accords his own.
	The best retaliation isn't a military one or to respond in kind is to defeat his pet candidate and to force him to watch the inauguration of the women he so abhors.
	So, I went in and I said, are you ready for it?
	You ready?
	It got really bad.
	It got really bad.
	Russ, I have yet to see any actual proof other than security firms claiming identical tools and some RSA fingerprints and command and control servers that are familiar.
	All these could be used by any bad actors.
	Similarly, no proof that Russian actors did not hack the ClintonEmail.com server, as is consistently claimed.
	There's no proof that they didn't.
	There's no proof that I didn't.
	Right.
	I love saying that.
	Similarly, the claim that the hack exposed racial and nefarious conversation at the DNC internally is specious.
	Everyone says stuff in private when they don't think it will ever go beyond the intended recipients.
	Everyone does it.
	So I hand up a fig leaf.
	Olive Branch.
	But for sure, this story does one thing.
	It speaks directly to a significant portion of voters in swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania with roots in Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic states, as the New York Times discuss in this article, which I thought was an interesting point.
	Ah, good point.
	So, the professor comes back.
	Seems hard to get proof in cases like this, but the circumstantial evidence seems to point pretty strongly.
	I say, Russ, this is kind of my domain.
	I'm not a brain scientist.
	There's no evidence that this could be tied to anyone right now.
	He comes back.
	Okay, but I also know that you have a strong pro-Russian or at least anti-anti-Russian bias, so I have to weigh that as well.
	He's right.
	Yes.
	And so I say...
	Anti-Russian is what you are.
	Yeah, I'm anti-anti-Russian.
	That's because that's a neutral position to take, which is what the show does.
	Yes.
	And then he posts a link to defense1.com, how Putin weaponized WikiLeaks to influence the election.
	I say, hey, sure, man.
	You know, I could be Vladimir typing under my account right now, and just, you know, like the Bayer and APT models are freely available in hackerspace to use, including the hard-coded command and control server.
	Just meaningless as proof.
	And I think the guy's a scientist.
	He'll understand proof.
	And he comes back, you know, he says, you know, actually...
	I especially like how this article that he posted starts off with, quote, close your eyes and imagine that a hacking group backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin broke into the email system of a major U.S. political party.
	That's how the article starts that he posted.
	Like, okay, if you want me to imagine...
	I say, well, of course, I hold you in higher regard than vice versa, and presume you aren't letting your apparent anti-Russian bias get the best of you, just like I trust your analysis of the fMRI scandal and not wired sphere-mongering, so I play it back to him.
	He says, finally, he says, fair enough, we'll be interested to see how this works out.
	Okay.
	And then I even say, regardless of how this works out, which saddens me the most about an otherwise good first day at the DNC, I'm really being kind here, the hack of the emails and the way they were largely portrayed in the media has severely disillusioned millennials like my daughter.
	They were so enthusiastic about Bernie, they got out on the streets, campaigned for him, attended huge crowds that were barely covered on TV news, only to learn that the deck was stacked against him.
	This is the most damaging effect, in my humble opinion.
	I fear many will just give up on the political system as it doesn't work for them.
	And he comes back, yeah, totally agree.
	I've not read the emails, which is interesting.
	But my impression from a few sources is that they are not really a smoking gun.
	So he thinks the emails are not a smoking gun.
	So now, here it comes.
	So I say, well, I've read most of them that are deemed problematic, some racist stuff, nothing more or less, you know...
	Nothing more or less how people talk amongst each other when believing it's private.
	You're being very generous.
	Those emails are damning.
	Well, I say here, although, quote, Taco Bowl engagement in light of Trump's video message is very funny while racist.
	However, multiple emails show coordinated protests in coordination with the Hillary Super PAC paying young voters to push back online on Sanders supporters.
	Pretty shitty optics.
	Of course, it was also taken into account the possibility that published emails on WikiLeaks have been doctored or fabricated.
	No one ever discusses that possibility.
	I certainly don't take them to 100% face value.
	And then it happens.
	His wife jumps in.
	Uh-oh.
	I'll try and read this the way I received it.
	But, but, Russ...
	Do you have a flag?
	If you're not waving an American flag around at all times, you are apparently a globalist.
	I even capitalized American, lest I be accused of not being patriotic enough.
	Did she read my newsletter?
	Was that the reason she drew that in?
	I don't know why.
	Yeah, they must be on the mailing list.
	So I say, hey Jennifer, we're having a very civil conversation here.
	I haven't accused anyone of anything.
	Just chill.
	And then it happens.
	I'm just fed up with your insistence that you have no bias, no agenda.
	I'll fully admit to having one.
	Perhaps you should free yourself.
	If the characters in this story were reversed, a hack of RNC docs, you'd be in full-on conspiracy theory mode claiming Hillary and Putin were in bed together, probably literally.
	I'm just sick of it!
	So, I say, hey, you know, of course I'm biased.
	Everyone has bias.
	Please consider this.
	If I have a strong anti-anti-Russian bias, as Russ suggests, why would I claim Hillary would be in bed, literally, with Putin?
	How is that pro-Russian?
	Oh, now you're getting into the...
	You should have just...
	No, wait!
	No, because this is...
	You'll see.
	It's amazing.
	This is very important, what happened here.
	Okay.
	Beautiful.
	Adam, your right-wing bias is so fucking obvious, yet you tease us for being slaves blindly following our leader.
	Yes, I'm a proud Obama supporter.
	I carry zero shame for that.
	But that doesn't mean I see no fault with him or Hillary.
	I will and do openly criticize shit they pull that I don't like.
	However, I never, ever, ever see or hear you skewer anyone on the right.
	So either get off the Trump teat or have the balls to admit your bias and just be at peace with the fact that you host a right-wing propaganda show.
	Oh, brother!
	So, um...
	This is people that are just...
	Wait, I'll finish it up.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	Last bit here.
	So, you know, there's a couple other things that are important that I say, and I just, after this, I just post SMH, which means shaking my head.
	But she misinterprets that.
	SMH. Yeah, it's a hashtag thing.
	I've never seen it.
	Well, neither had she.
	She says, nope, no hate at all.
	I guess she thought, you know, straight male hate or something.
	I don't know.
	No hate at all.
	Just evicting from my life all of the people and things that have created or continue to feed the culture that has us on the brink of electing for president the sexist, racist, xenophobic, cheeto excrement that is Trump.
	I'm sympathetic to the segment of the population who feel that women and people of color have gotten a little too uppity in their demands for equality and a seat at the adults' table.
	And how's that threatening and all that?
	I get it.
	But you know what?
	Tough.
	I'm going to fight anyone who tries to push us back into the great dark ages.
	How old is she?
	Eh, 40.
	So I post SMH equals shaking my head.
	And she comes back, and this is the end of the thread.
	Whatever!
	I'm not 12!
	I don't know these things!
	And I find myself fresh out of F's to give!
	Out of what?
	F's.
	Like, to give a fuck.
	An F. Oh, F's.
	Okay.
	Well, that is your classic...
	That's the situation as it exists.
	And the thing is...
	I do have the capability to understand why she sees the world the way she sees it.
	I really understand it.
	If you're in this particular mindset, if you're in this frame of mind, there is no escape.
	That is exactly...
	And I'm not...
	I don't want to...
	You know, excoriate her for it.
	I just disagree with pretty much everything she says and thinks.
	And certainly what I find sad is this anger.
	She's smart.
	You know, these are smart people.
	To exude this level of hate and anger and just vitriol in public, you know, or quasi-public, I can never speak with these people again.
	It will not work, and I warn everybody about hitting people in the mouth.
	Look for the people who show signs.
	I'm telling you, do not, do not, do not try to convert people.
	This is a mistake, and it will end in lost friendships, families breaking apart, because it is no longer repairable.
	And unfortunately, I've seen this movie before, and then I'll shut up and we can get into clips.
	I have seen this movie.
	It hit me when I saw all of this Trump skewering is the new word.
	And I was like, oh my gosh, this is 2000.
	This is 2000.
	No, 2002.
	This is the Netherlands.
	This is Pim Fortan, who, of course, even though he was a highly educated writer, historian, openly gay, he was a horrible xenophobe or racist because he said, we can't keep these Muslim people coming in.
	This is not going to work the way we're handling it.
	It is a backwards religion.
	This is not what we want.
	and he gained incredible popularity and then they killed him.
	Or I should say he got killed by not a Muslim, not a crazy person who was like an animal nut or something.
	I'm very sad.
	And he also had some guy who was his second don't, his lieutenant, who stepped right into the role and it lasted a year or two and it didn't turn out very well because the leader was gone.
	But that guy who is still in Parliament today, that is Pence, you know.
	And so, I see all of these elements lined up, and the most important thing is the country was completely divided, everybody was freaking out, like, I'm for Pim, you're crazy, you're racist, and this is 15 years ago.
	He got killed and it shut everything down.
	The trauma was enormous and they still have not gotten over it.
	And I hate to say it, but if the movie plays out the same way, that's what happens.
	You get months of discord, 100 days, everyone's going to be arguing.
	Then we have some horrible event and that just shuts it all down and puts everyone in the shut up, listen to me slave mode.
	Well...
	Yeah, I think there's some elements of this, that's for sure.
	That democracy doesn't work if we constantly demonize each other.
	So I got into a little back and forth with a friend of mine who's a writer who's been around.
	And I'm actually kind of stunned.
	I was thinking about this when I... Not because Dana Blankenhorn was on Twitter and then he stopped talking to me.
	But all I was doing is just defending...
	I wasn't defending any.
	I was just defending my position when he says, he called me out for posting something that had a kind of a, it may have had a Trump bias or was about something, about some lies about him.
	And he says, you're just sitting for Trump.
	No, I'm not.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	And then he, then he starts jumping on me with, Trump's going to ruin the country.
	Things are going to, he's going to kill democracy.
	He's going to kill the republic as if.
	The republic is so weak that one guy comes along and is going to be killed by this one guy.
	Okay, sure.
	Well, I guess the constitution wasn't properly written.
	Right.
	It didn't do it right.
	Anyway, I said, I just go back and forth.
	So you don't think there's a fundamental, the system is fundamentally impervious because of its, you know, the balance.
	We have the judicial and the community.
	We have this balance of powers.
	Yeah, so the president...
	Because Trump is no good.
	And he goes ballistic, and I said, why don't you...
	I said, I'm not interested in all this hate.
	Why don't you...
	I'm hearing hate, vitriol, obsession.
	Look up the word bigot.
	Yeah, and that fits properly.
	And read it out loud.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I would say that...
	What's her name?
	Jennifer.
	Jennifer?
	Jennifer.
	She is a, by definition...
	An unbelievable bigot.
	And I think that a lot of these people on both sides.
	Oh, of course.
	Of course.
	And there's anti-Trump bigots.
	But it is bigotry.
	Look up the definition, people.
	What I find interesting is the Trump side, I don't want to say Republicans, just the Trump side, they have been massaged to fear things that Trump says he can fix.
	The Hillary side have really massaged everyone just to hate Trump.
	Just to hate Trump.
	I would disagree slightly with that.
	They've also been massaged to elect the first woman.
	Before you get to there, I want to play one more clip.
	There was a lot of late night, crazy, funny stuff going on.
	I don't know why, but for some reason...
	CNN went on until 4 in the morning.
	MSNBC's going on until 4 in the morning.
	Fox, I haven't watched too much Fox.
	It's more fun to watch MSNBC and CNN. So we have insane people whose guard is down because they're tired, it's late, they probably had a little bit to drink.
	And this was the MSNBC panel, an all-star panel of MSNBC's That's what they call him.
	So it's Chris Matthews, it's Joy Reid mainly, you'll hear her.
	We haven't even really fully unfolded the conspiracy of Putin yet, but it's so obvious and you're crazy if you disagree with it.
	I just want to be clear, there's a few things getting run together here.
	And this is a haze, of course.
	Well, let's sort of celebrate it for a second.
	One of them is, let's just stay on the hack, right?
	Okay, so the DNC was hacked.
	It's not established.
	The Russians hacked.
	There is a lot of evidence.
	There's anonymous intelligence officials.
	There's CrowdStrike.
	Anonymous intelligence officials.
	Yeah, it's always good.
	Who ran the report.
	There's a good reason to think it was a Russian hack.
	Now, in the Times today, was it the kind of hack that they called, quote, routine, which our government does as well, let's be perfectly honest, or was it something done intentionally with this kind of meddling in the election purpose?
	Right.
	I love this, and a lot of people say, oh, the world is laughing at us.
	No, what the world is laughing at is when you accuse other countries and leaders of meddling in their elections.
	That's the laughable part.
	I'm sure everybody's going, bah!
	Do you ever hear of regime change?
	If, again, those are two Fs.
	If you get to there, that's a huge deal.
	Obviously.
	The decision is a huge deal.
	But the other thing, though, is the big decision.
	The other thing is, there's a lot of dots being thrown out and sort of connected.
	That is distinct from, is he some sort of Manchurian candidate for the Kremlin?
	Manchurian candidate.
	Oh, it gets better.
	Now, you hear Joy Reid, and she's the new star over at MSNBC. Ever since...
	The professor girl left, got kicked out.
	Right, that idiot.
	Yeah, so now Joy Reid is the new superstar.
	Candidate for the Kremlin.
	It doesn't have to go in the car.
	All you need for it to be a huge scandal and really important.
	Hear what she's saying.
	All you need for it to be a huge scandal and really important.
	So she's not impartial.
	She just wants a scandal.
	Scandal, and really important.
	You have a candidate who has an affinity for Vladimir Putin, which in and of itself, for an American potential president to have this much love for Russia, and then he had...
	Did we forget that Hillary went over with the big reset button, we love you, kumbaya, I guess.
	There's the dealings there.
	But wait, then you've got the Russian government, potentially, or Russian intelligence meddling in our election in order to help him get elected.
	Do we want someone in the White House with that kind of affinity?
	He doesn't have to be behind.
	First of all, do we all agree that Russians hacked?
	Yes.
	I don't know.
	Yes!
	Yes!
	Yes, we did!
	Yes, they hacked!
	Do we all agree the Russians hacked and they all yell yes?
	There's no proof of any of that.
	First of all, do we all agree the Russians hacked?
	Yes.
	I don't know.
	There's some guy going, whoa, whoa, whoa, like Bernie.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	No, I don't.
	All we know for sure is that the FBI thinks there's enough to it.
	The second thing.
	Who decided to dump this the eve of the Democratic Convention?
	Well, you know that Julian Assange has a long-standing grudge with the Obama administration.
	It's clear that whoever leaked it does not have in their interest having Hillary Clinton be elected president.
	They're doing it for a specific political purpose.
	That's obvious.
	Wait, wait.
	Which is it?
	Is he the Manchurian candidate, or is it merely an intolerable hack of the American political system?
	Answer the question.
	We had NBC experts saying it was done by the Russians, and if they have the material, if they have the hacked product, they decide when to release portions of it.
	They can drop this time-release capsule for months and affect the election.
	And again, I don't understand how they so easily move beyond the WikiLeaks actually releasing it, not the Russians.
	I think she, the new superstar woman you discussed, I think she nailed it.
	Which is?
	And Chris Matthews not listening to her because he's like a classic racist in reality.
	Yeah.
	And he's not going to listen to what she said.
	What she said was actually probably right on the money.
	It's Assange.
	Yes!
	And he does have a great...
	He's been stuck in this stupid hellhole, which is probably not that bad, but it's not great, in London, because they won't let him out because they know the U.S. is going to grab him.
	I also feel that in their minds, they're making the connection between Snowden and WikiLeaks somehow.
	I think there's a subconscious connection there that makes it a lot simpler, maybe for everybody.
	I do have a quick bit from Assange, who was on Democracy Now!
	Yeah, it's quite remarkable what has happened the last few days.
	I think this is quite a classical release showing...
	The benefit of producing pristine data sets, presenting them before the public where there's equal access to all journalists and to interested members of the public to mine through them and have them in a citable form where they can then be used to prop up certain criticisms or political arguments.
	Often it's the case that we have to do a lot of exploration and marketing of the material we publish ourselves to get a big political impact for it.
	But in this case, we knew because of the pending DNC, because of the degree of interest in the US election, We didn't need to establish partnerships with the New York Times or the Washington Post.
	In fact, that might be counterproductive because they are partisans of one group or another.
	Rather, we took the data set, analyzed it, verified it, made it in the presentable, searchable form, presented it for all journalists and the public to mine.
	And that's exactly what has happened.
	And I'm sure that there's plenty of publications like the New York Times and Washington Post who are pissed off.
	Hey, hold on a second.
	The way it's supposed to work is you give us the documents and then we publish the information.
	What are you doing going out all on your own?
	So that didn't help.
	Why are you bypassing us?
	Bypassing us.
	Bypassing us.
	And then final one, just for me on this, is former chairman of the Republican...
	The committee, whatever, the RNC, Michael Steele, and he is, well, he got in trouble.
	I just find it rather interesting that everyone seems to be glossing over the content of those emails, talking, putting in play Bernie Sanders' religion.
	Yes, they're gross.
	Putting in play.
	But I don't hear the same level of outrage.
	We've been talking about how gross they are.
	Hold on.
	Can I just for a moment just have this one moment here?
	I don't hear the same level.
	I'm not talking about you two on the panel, but I'm talking about others in liberal media and liberal politics don't seem to have the same level of outrage if those emails were written by a Republican conservative.
	Hang on a second.
	The comparison though, Michael, my friend.
	The comparison is retweeting white nationalists and retweeting white supremacists.
	Joy, I'm not trying to justify my point.
	I'm just saying that the seriousness of it doesn't seem to be rising to the same level.
	So that is useless.
	You do not want to try and do that.
	That is never going to work.
	Now, Fox is the one who perfected having the other side have a couple of stooges on.
	But I've always felt, except with Hannity, that Fox treats him a little more fairly.
	Hannity just sits there and ridicules him.
	You know, because I don't have any clips for it, but there's something that I kind of discovered and I figured out what's going on with Fox and Hannity specifically.
	Remember how Jon Stewart was ragging on Hannity on the Colbert show?
	You made a point.
	Yeah, so why was that?
	Well, I think I figured it out.
	Oh, I'd like to hear.
	The players are...
	Sean Hannity, Donald Trump, Roger Ailes, Alex Jones, and Chunk.
	And then there's the sixth player, and that is the guy called Roger Stone.
	Do you know anything about Roger Stone?
	Roger Stone was a...
	To me, and anyone can correct me if I'm getting this wrong, but Roger Stone is essentially a hired dirty tricks guy.
	Hitman, hitman, hitman.
	He's like a hitman in terms of he murders people.
	No, he puts stories out.
	He puts phony stories out.
	He does all this sort of stuff that used to be very much more noticeable.
	Although it wasn't reported on, there was never any kind of no agenda thing to deal with it.
	During the Nixon-Kennedy first election, and then the Nixon people used to do this all the time, it was a bunch of, Segretti was the name that comes to mind, and there was some other guy, some, I can't remember this other character's name, who'd always, he'd always like dress up in strange outfits, so when When Nixon came into town or was in a motorcade, there'd be this guy in this screwball outfit and he'd get all the attention.
	Trump seems to do this on his own, so it's different.
	If you recall the video of Alex Jones on the Young Turks set, Roger Stone was there yelling in the background, right?
	Remember that?
	So it was actually Roger Stone who brought Alex Jones over there to have this argument, and if you recall, Alex Jones held up a t-shirt of Bill Clinton and it said, you know, rape on it.
	Right.
	So here's...
	And Chunk went ballistic.
	That's what really pissed him off.
	And he's done many things about an interview at the beginning of July that Trump did with Hannity.
	And from what I understand, Roger Stone...
	I didn't clip it.
	I didn't have time.
	I just didn't have time.
	But what happens in that is Hannity leading the witness, as is typical.
	It gets Trump to talk about Bill Clinton.
	At a certain point, Trump says, well, yeah, of course, there's rape.
	There's rape allegations.
	Right.
	And that, as we know, Fox, I have said, and I think you agree, for years, Fox is run by Democrats.
	It's an opposition.
	It's meant there to have kind of this right-left paradigm.
	And Roger Ailes was doing the job that he was asked to do.
	But he, because of Roger Stone and Hannity, went too far because they allowed the rape meme to get out there on Fox.
	And so what do they do?
	Okay, Roger Ailes, you're done.
	We've had this file of you being an a-hole for 15 years.
	Boom!
	We're eliminating you.
	And that's why this all played out.
	It's all tied in.
	That's why Alex Jones is going after his level of media, which is Chunk.
	And Chunk, of course, is completely on the opposing side.
	And that is the reason Roger Ailes got kicked out.
	And the blame is, I guess, going to Roger Stone.
	And that's why Hannity is so incredibly hated amongst the elites, which includes Jon Stewart.
	Wow.
	Well, the Hannity part, I think, of your argument's a little...
	Okay, Hannity we know, because he does a radio show too, and he works himself to death, this guy.
	I don't think that he's the most talented of the group, but he's the tub thumper in chief.
	And he's like good friends with George W. Bush, like friends where he goes to the ranch.
	which is also kind of screwy since he is the big Trump pusher at some point I don't know why I believe everyone sees him as a Republican operative no matter who it is yeah I think so he does stand out away from O'Reilly for example and O'Reilly when And I'm going to say it.
	I'm going to say it.
	When push comes to shove, when you take it to the end line, there's a lot of evidence that O'Reilly is a Democrat.
	Sure.
	And he's always budding around with Jon Stewart and other kinds of Democrats.
	He does pal around with the comic.
	Oh man, I don't know why he's eluding me.
	Dennis Miller.
	Dennis Miller, who stole our material.
	Yeah, he took our cane and unable.
	I know, that's interesting.
	Yeah, I hope somebody...
	Podcasts.
	Or not emails them, but tells them...
	At least plug our show.
	I don't care if you...
	Normally you have to pay money when you steal a joke.
	Yeah.
	But it's not that much, like 15 bucks.
	That's okay.
	But still...
	I'll live.
	The...
	Who is definitely a Republican.
	And he has them on.
	And they kind of balance each other in a funny kind of way.
	Fox is an enigma, that's for sure.
	And Kelly was on last night reaming Trump's campaign manager over the supposed espionage, which we're going to have to discuss too.
	Yes, yes.
	And it's very interesting, and I think maybe your theory about Ailes might be correct.
	And that rape meme, you're right.
	It started up again.
	And that was a real problem.
	And Fox, they're going to be all in for Hillary.
	It's already starting.
	I think it was starting when I saw Kelly Ream with the guy's Manaforti or whatever his name is.
	Yeah, Manaforti, yeah.
	Do you have a clip of that?
	He was reaming him.
	And it was just, it was endless.
	And he's trying to defend Trump when really, I think if you want to listen to something that kind of defends Trump in an awkward way is the Amy Brooks P.
	What is it?
	P. B. D.
	Trump espionage clip from the NewsHour.
	Seemed to jump back into the spotlight.
	What's going on here?
	Well, he can't be out of the spotlight.
	And he's clearly decided that bad publicity is better than no publicity.
	And so he did something when you think about it, we're so inured to what Donald Trump is about to do that if you step out, what he did today was kind of amazing.
	Now, who is this speaking?
	.
	That's Brooks, the guy who's been befuddled by Trump since day one.
	He's kind of now resigned.
	It wasn't really treasonous, but it sort of felt sort of that way.
	I mean, calling on the Russians to release documents and presuming they have them from Hillary Clinton's server.
	Yeah, we'll have to play the real quote in a bit.
	It's just mind-boggling, frankly.
	And if it was done in a normal political year, it would be a career-ender, but that's clearly not the case.
	And so what he's done is he's stolen the spotlight, and now the Democratic Convention is a lot of screens, the small screen, and Donald Trump is the big screen.
	Do you agree, Amy Walter, Donald Trump's stolen the spotlight?
	Well, you know, this convention tonight was already going to be focused on national security.
	And there's been a lot of talk, both in conservative media, and we talked about it too, that with all of the crises going on around the world, and it seems like daily or weekly attacks in Europe, that the fact that this convention has not yet brought that up has been glaring.
	And...
	We now know we have Leon Panetta tonight.
	We're going to have the president talk about this.
	Those issues were already going to be in the fore.
	But, you know, the question with Donald Trump, look, I completely agree with David.
	You know, there's now an emoji going around.
	I don't know if you've seen it that goes like, uh-uh.
	Does it matter?
	I don't know.
	What does this mean?
	And on the one hand, you would say, absolutely, that would be a career ender.
	This is the end of a campaign.
	This is where, right, you're talking about temperament, etc.
	On the other hand, you have a candidate in Hillary Clinton who has problems with emails, and the issue of a server being hacked is a real big deal, and having the focus, once again, on Hillary Clinton's email server and its vulnerability is not good for Hillary Clinton either.
	But, Mark Shields, tonight we have the President of the United States.
	We have Joe Biden, his Vice President.
	We have Tim Kaine, who was just nominated this afternoon to be Vice President.
	Is it possible, really, for anybody to steal that spotlight?
	Well, I think Donald Trump has absolutely dominated the story for the very simple reason.
	The Republicans have enjoyed, historically and recently, An advantage over the Democrats on national security, sort of national muscularity issues.
	And in a time, as Amy described...
	You know, it's a sad day when a national journalist says, there's an emoji going around.
	It's a sad, sad day, man.
	Sad day.
	Sad, but get used to it.
	I got 44 seconds of Trump's actual quote from the press conference.
	Well, before you play that...
	I would like you to play just another setup.
	This was the way, because I think people don't realize how much this was, if you go by the Scott Adams thesis, this was a huge, huge win for Trump in so far as publicity is concerned.
	Yes.
	And it really got everybody bent out of shape and said, that's one of the things I had with Dana Blankenhorn on the Twitter thing, because he went on about, he's in bed with Putin, and Putin's behind this, and Putin, Putin, Putin, he's going to sell us out to the Russians and all this other stuff.
	And I'm coming back with, where's the evidence of any of these accusations?
	It sounds like you're insane when you start making these accusations.
	And when you even take an operation, this is the Trump espionage DW clip.
	When you even go overseas to the kind of analysis that's going on over there about this particular incident, the media is so flat-footed, it's an embarrassment to someone who's worked in the media.
	And our correspondent, Heike Slonsky, she's covering this story for us.
	Good afternoon to you, Heike.
	This is Deutsche Welle.
	There's an interesting and surprising turn of events.
	So Donald Trump's latest slam at Hillary Clinton, the handling of her emails is causing a little bit more than just a stir, isn't it?
	Absolutely.
	This is really increasing the blood pressure with a lot of people, even Republicans.
	So here's what he did.
	He asked...
	Russian hackers, since the Democrats are claiming that Russians hacked the DNC and got a hold of some of their mails, he's asking them to maybe hack the DNC some more and hack the Clinton server to find out what happened to those 30,000 deleted emails of hers while she was Secretary of State.
	Now, this is really causing more than a stir that even the Trump campaign is finding words to roll this back.
	And, of course, the critics of Donald Trump are saying, you know, what you're really asking is to commit the crime of espionage, and this proves one more time that you are not fit to become the next president of the United States.
	But let's listen to what he had to say at a press conference today in Florida.
	Okay.
	I will tell you this.
	Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.
	I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
	Yes.
	Well...
	Last night, we're going to just change topics here.
	Yeah, he just fell off the...
	Well, maybe because he did not hear Donald Trump say, please hack.
	Please do this.
	Please hack.
	How many times did Donald Trump use the word hack?
	Well, I have...
	Now, he said this three times.
	I watched the entire press conference.
	It's been only an hour.
	He said it three times.
	Pretty much identical each time.
	What do I have to get involved with Putin?
	I have nothing to do with Putin.
	I've never spoken to him.
	I don't know anything about him other than he will respect me.
	He doesn't respect our president.
	And if it is Russia, which is probably not, nobody knows who it is, but if it is Russia, it's really bad for a different reason.
	Because it shows how little respect they have for our country when they would hack into a major party and get everything.
	But it would be interesting to see, I will tell you this, Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.
	I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
	Let's see if that happens.
	That'll be next.
	Yes, sir.
	In context, his quote is very different.
	Yeah, as usual.
	Yeah.
	And even, although I didn't clip it, you know, big headlines, Trump doesn't even know where he thinks Tim Kaine is from New Jersey, blah, blah, blah, blah, which, by the way, is a mistake coming from New Jersey.
	You know, we had a Kaine in Jersey.
	And so you only see this clip of him going, he did a horrible job in New Jersey, New Jersey, New Jersey.
	And then one of his lieutenants or something says something, says, ah, I mean Virginia, yeah.
	It was just a mistake.
	But when you take it out of that context, it makes you look like a moron.
	This is why I said this is one of the most incredible two weeks in modern media that we are allowed to deconstruct and analyze because it's like the telephone game, man.
	Yeah, you hear something, someone else says it, and then boom, then it's truth.
	It is truth now.
	You cannot undo this from the media.
	Trump asked for Russia to hack into and subsequently try to affect American politics.
	Look in the history books, 50 years from now, that's what it'll say.
	It could, if the media is allowed to continue, which pretty much...
	I mean, they're so in...
	Do I have this clip?
	Do you see the one that says RT? And then it goes on with something about the Bernie riots, because I can't find it on my list here.
	I don't see an RT Bernie riots.
	Protest event only shown on RT. That's it.
	Now...
	This, to me, is the indictment of the media.
	There's actually another clip that predates that or kind of similar to that.
	Play these two clips one after the other.
	Pause between the two, but start off with sad Bernie supporter.
	This was going on.
	The convention was a disaster as far as I'm concerned because the Bernie people walked out.
	They made a big fuss.
	They walked out when Bernie went up to the stage.
	Do they turn the lights off in that section of the auditorium so you couldn't see that the seats were empty?
	I think that was going on, but they weren't showing...
	The pool camera would show a little of it, but the networks weren't showing that.
	And I don't know how...
	They must have their own...
	Somebody had their own cameras there, because I was looking at...
	Definitely.
	During the speeches in the primetime, and I think even during the Bernie speech, I was going back and forth with a...
	With a return button I have on the remote to show the angles they were shooting.
	And it wasn't all coming from the pool camera.
	There were other cameras there.
	But let's play this clip first.
	...party.
	It comes, of course, 96 years after women earned the right to vote.
	That took place back in 1920, during the final year of the Woodrow Wilson administration.
	Dina is next from North Brookfield.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Oh, okay.
	Don't play that.
	That's a long clip.
	There's another clip I was looking for, but that was C-SPAN. But let's play the RT clip.
	This was on RT, and this is the one I first mentioned.
	What's the name of it?
	I'll have to go back.
	Actual Protests Served.
	Okay, now wait.
	Okay.
	There's a couple things you want to note.
	This was a borderline riot that was taking place outside the convention.
	Yeah, because they were locked up in a cage.
	They were all in a cage.
	And they were saying the whole world's watching.
	The whole world's watching.
	No one was watching.
	Exactly.
	No one was watching.
	This was only shown on foreign television.
	The U.S. media refused to show any of the altercations that were going on outside the convention hall.
	And this was an outrageous one.
	And it was very entertaining.
	The news media must have been beside itself not being told not to show it because it was good money in the bank stuff.
	But no, we never saw or heard anything like this.
	An incredible honor that you have given me.
	Thank you.
	This is quite a moment.
	We have not seen a national convention of a major party in the United States be so divided in any time in recent history.
	Police are in the area.
	We've seen an armored car.
	We've seen a number of police trying to disperse them.
	But they're here and they're angry about the fact that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the nominee for the presidency of the Democratic Party.
	The whole world is watching!
	#NeverHillary Now they're angry not just about what they feel is a bias in the media They're also angry about these emails that were recently leaked showing that the Democratic National Committee was collaborating with the media and doing everything possible to secure the nomination for Hillary Clinton.
	What about the content?
	Why isn't the mainstream media talking about the content of the leaks?
	I don't care who they want to say is responsible for the leaks.
	What about what was leaked?
	They used the, oh God, our enemy Russia, and oh, Donald Trump is to blame for that.
	After all of those scandals happened, and they happened frequently, all of the voter disenfranchisement and voter fraud that happened, people don't feel like it was justified or the justice was served.
	Whether Hillary Clinton or whether Donald Trump becomes president, the system stays in place.
	We still have money in politics.
	We still have a huge income inequality that's going to stay the way it is.
	None of that was reported.
	No.
	It was barely reported that Bernie left the Democratic Party.
	Yeah, it went back to being an independent.
	Yeah, that was barely reported on.
	That was reported, though.
	And I thought it was funny because it came shortly after.
	And I don't know if I have the clip.
	I may have to show it on Sundays when Bernie says, we've got to elect Democrats, Democrats, Democrats.
	And then he...
	He quits the party.
	I mean, I just thought it was hilarious.
	Somebody had a gun to his head or something.
	I'm not sure.
	As I said before, it's the disillusionment.
	I don't know how your kids are.
	Oh, my daughter, who is a huge Bernie fan.
	Huge, huge Bernie fan.
	She said she wouldn't, and she's like a classic millennial.
	She's 22.
	Yeah.
	Right in the middle of it.
	She says she wouldn't vote for Hillary in a million years.
	Yeah.
	That's what I'm hearing, too.
	But I hear more disillusionment, like, well, what was that?
	That was rigged?
	Because that meme sticks with them.
	We got fucked.
	Well, this is no good.
	Screw that.
	Back to Pokemon.
	I mean, that's what I'm hearing.
	Well, if you want to hear somebody actually say what you're saying, go back to that original clip that I cut short.
	This was a call-in on C-SPAN of a woman, a millennial, that was a Bernie supporter who I think expresses that.
	I don't know how much of it you can listen to because it's long.
	And I'm surprised they left it on that lunch.
	This is a woman who was so distressed.
	It's just, it's actually...
	It comes, of course, 96 years after women earned the right to vote.
	That took place back in 1920, during the final year of the Woodrow Wilson administration.
	Dina is next from North Brookfield, joining us on the phone, our line for independence, and we're back outside as the delegates continue to arrive.
	Go ahead, please.
	Hi, how are you?
	I appreciate you letting me comment.
	I just wanted to say that, you know, as a young person, I'm 31 years old.
	I grew up in a family who was very active in politics on the Democratic side.
	I grew up going to rallies.
	You know, we campaigned for Bill Clinton.
	We campaigned for Ted Kennedy.
	We did a lot of stuff when I was young.
	And for some reason, all along this time, I've never felt like I should commit to the Democratic Party.
	Until now, I'm not necessarily committing to the Democratic Party, but there is something that happened this year with Bernie Sanders and the hope that he sparked in us as young people who really did not believe that it was possible to have a politician as honest and straightforward and caring as Bernie.
	And I'm going to be honest with you, you know, it's a very sad day for us today because, you know, we backed him wholeheartedly, a lot of us, you know, and I spent a lot of hours phone banking for him.
	I went to his rallies, you know, held hands with people I didn't even know, black, white, Spanish, whatever they are, everyone, doesn't matter where you come from, that's what we did.
	And that's the kind of people that he brought together.
	All of his policies that he's against, you know, like, we want to fight the 1%.
	We don't want this big money in politics anymore.
	The mess that we're in now is because of all of this.
	Well, who do you think is the 1%?
	The 1% is the Hillary Clintons of the world.
	If you looked at their tax returns and you looked at Bernie's, how much did he and his wife make last year?
	$200,000 plus?
	If you look at the Clintons, well, the money that was accounted for, $27 million?
	Does that speak to Bernie followers?
	It doesn't speak to me.
	It sounds like those are the people that we don't want in politics.
	Does she actually mention Pokemon in this clip?
	I know.
	Okay, then I don't have to wait for it.
	I get it, yeah.
	But that, yeah, that's the disillusionment.
	And that was really not covered.
	It was really...
	And we should go back to the DNC itself now, which I have to say...
	Now, Christina's here.
	Christina arrived.
	I picked her up...
	Tuesday night.
	So she lives in Europe.
	She shuts a lot of it out, smartly, rightly so.
	But watching the DNC with her, and she was just doing her stuff, walking around.
	It was so funny.
	Now, she's non-binary.
	You know, she's been with men, with women.
	I think her current boyfriend is transgendered.
	You know, whatever.
	She's like, I hate hearing these boxes.
	It is the worst thing that you can do for LGBTQ. She says, which dad, you know, it's not really a community.
	Yeah, I know that.
	It's the worst thing because all you do is you put individuals into these boxes and they stay in the box.
	Everyone should just be everyone.
	It was really beautiful the way she saw that, and I think a lot of her age group see that that way as well.
	But the funniest thing is, you know, after four times of hearing how Hillary really, you know, she actually went to Pakistan and killed Osama bin Laden herself, Christina cracks up laughing, and she's like, oh yeah, yeah, is that when they captured Bigfoot and threw him in the ocean?
	Yeah, you would never do that if you caught Bigfoot.
	I'm like, this girl is smart.
	Don't you remember when the Osama thing went down?
	Wasn't there a bunch of discussion about Hillary didn't want to do that process?
	She was one of the naysayers?
	I don't remember that.
	I'd still like to see the pictures.
	Yeah, good luck.
	But the DNC itself, I thought...
	For what they were trying to do, for the audience they were speaking to, I thought was brilliantly done.
	I think they missed the mark and made a couple of huge mistakes.
	Huge.
	Yeah, but the idea of having videos showing Trump, and I mean, oh man, on, was it Monday night?
	They roll out, I didn't clip the package, they wrote the whole package of Trump making fun of the New York Times reporter.
	Ugh!
	Yeah, that's actually a good clip.
	Yeah, so the clip is running.
	And then they roll out a girl, not just in a wheelchair, but she's got fake legs.
	I mean, she's got a speech impediment.
	Throw that on top of it.
	It was exploitation.
	I think the exploitation was shameful.
	And let me say, I think the worst exploitation was...
	I don't know, maybe the guy thought it was great, but they bring out a blind guy to sing the national anthem, which is a visual story.
	I thought it was sick.
	I thought that they were laughing at this guy.
	I really...
	Well, let's start with the first one.
	Play the first Pledge of Allegiance.
	Now, this is interesting, because what they do, their first showing of an elderly person...
	The first showing of a Hispanic is her helping the elderly person.
	She's like a caregiver.
	They put the Spanish person in a stereotype role as a caregiver, even though she's a congresswoman.
	They demean her into being a person bringing out this old lady who can't even do the Pledge of Allegiance.
	And...
	I think she's half blind because she says, where's the flag?
	And it was, I thought, the worst sort of pandering.
	It was, and I thought it was humiliating to the Hispanic woman.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome delegates Ruby Gillum from Ohio and Clarissa Rodriguez from Texas to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
	Where's the flag?
	It's right there.
	Right behind you.
	Ready?
	I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
	Yeah.
	Whoops.
	I think that's because they changed it around.
	It used to be...
	I don't know.
	I think they changed it around.
	The God comes under God.
	Indivisible and Indivisible under God.
	There was two different versions.
	And these two messed it up.
	But you'd think somebody would rehearse any of this stuff.
	I mean, they had some...
	I made the point in the newsletter that they were going out of their way.
	Now, I don't care.
	I think people should say whatever they want at the end of the little spiel.
	But they went out of their way to make sure nobody said, God bless the United States of America.
	And the Republicans had an interesting cadence.
	I studied this a little bit.
	The Republicans all would say, God bless the United States of America.
	But they would do it like this.
	Every one of them.
	And so there's obviously rules to, you know, engagement rules.
	What do you have to do?
	You can't joke around.
	You have to read what's on the screen.
	And it always went like this with the Republicans.
	God bless the United States of America.
	Yeah.
	Huge pause.
	Yeah.
	And then in this thing, there was none of that, except Obama.
	Obama's the only one at the very end who said, God bless the United States.
	And he had the pause, too, of America.
	Everybody else, the first day I didn't hear anything.
	It was all, bye, or hello, thank you very much.
	One person said, God bless America.
	The Republicans, and I think the Democrats both, have decided that that is verboten.
	You cannot say, God bless America, because that insults South America's also America.
	Yeah, yeah, Canada.
	The Ecuador is America, so you have to say the United States of America, and they all do that except a couple of guys who accidentally said America.
	But most of them in the Democrats, they didn't say anything.
	They either said thank you or they just walked.
	Well, there was kind of a format that I saw with a lot of the speakers that became very obvious.
	So the format, and we talk about formats on the show all the time.
	This, for instance, is the A block of our format.
	So here's how you do it at the DNC. You open up by stating you overcame something.
	Alcoholism, drug addiction, immigration, learning disability, you know, something horrible.
	Then call Trump a bully.
	Then, if possible, speak one or two lines in Spanish.
	Then make sure you tell everyone Trump is dangerous.
	Then, of course, throw in something about the children.
	Because the children were real.
	I mean, it was all about the children.
	The children.
	Oh, the children.
	It's horrible for the children.
	And then, of course, mention Hillary would be the first woman president.
	And then finish with something about unity and etc.
	That was pretty much the format.
	And everyone kind of held to it.
	Well, these speeches were written and...
	Well, of course.
	But it was part of the whole show.
	I mean, I totally agree.
	It was a show.
	They had that little girl come out with the sad story and they made a movie around her.
	I don't know if I have the clip.
	It should be little girl something.
	Yeah, little Mexican kid?
	Yeah, this was a long speech and she was...
	Sorry, she was really cute and her mom was there and it was, you know, it was bullshit.
	Thank you very much for coming here today.
	I really appreciate it.
	And today I'm gonna tell you guys a story about my parents, about their deportation of immigration.
	And I'm a daughter of immigrants' parents.
	Valiente.
	Brave.
	That's what Hillary Clinton called me when I told her I was worried my parents would be deported.
	You know, they also had two undocumented immigrants on stage.
	Which is a federal offense.
	You can't transport, pay, harbor illegal immigrants.
	Yeah, they don't care.
	And as a person who has gone through the immigration process twice, great expense and hassle, and even my own mistake with one day, you know, overstay of a tourist visa with other paperwork in process, my ex-wife got turned back at the airport and sent back.
	So when you see this, now I'm pretty level-headed about it, I'm not jumping up and down, but...
	Fuck that noise, is what I want to say.
	I did it the right way.
	And I even got penalized for making a reasonably small mistake.
	But this hurts my brain.
	A couple of other notes about the...
	I did appreciate a couple of things that they did write, including those movies.
	They were fantastic.
	They had Hollywood behind them, of course.
	They're going to make some good little movies.
	Can I play one of them?
	I have almost all the good ones.
	The one I liked, which was so crazy in what they were saying, was about the economy and debt.
	And this was a skit.
	You know, a skit.
	Here we go.
	Hi, I'm Gene Sperling, former director of the National Economic Council.
	And I'm Senator Mitch McConnell.
	Today we're here to discuss debt.
	Let's start with something Donald sat.
	I'm the king of debt.
	I'm great with debt.
	Nobody knows debt better than me.
	I've made a fortune by using debt.
	It sounds like he is great with debt.
	See, Donald's love affair with debt has been good for Donald.
	It wouldn't be good for America at all.
	This I don't understand.
	We're so in debt it's ludicrous.
	But the guy first, he says, well, Donald knows he's the king of debt, but only when it's good for Donald.
	He didn't even say only, he said it's good for Donald.
	But it won't be good for the United States.
	How can you say that?
	If he's doing it on behalf of the United States, why wouldn't it be just as good as when he did it on behalf of himself?
	That statement just makes no sense.
	No, I'm going to stop you right there, because I do have a few clips to back this up.
	Cool.
	Cognitive dissonance...
	It was a major, major theme at this convention.
	Explain.
	And that's where you have conflicting thoughts in the brain, and this is produced by what you just showed right here.
	That little bit right there was enough to cause cognitive dissonance, because it's a self-contradictory moment.
	And those things go in as facts, and the brain can't sort them out, and so it leaves the brain open for all kinds of information.
	Suggestibility goes way up, and you go, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We need to do this.
	I mean, when people are tweeting about Russia doing the DNC hack, and Trump is in bed with Putin, and he's actually a communist agent.
	Manchurian candidate.
	He's working for the Russians.
	Why?
	This makes no sense.
	But the way they've been presenting it has got all kinds of people completely short-circuited, including your friend there, a doctor's wife.
	Yes.
	There was some lies that were just, you know, and I've been on this conversion therapy thing because it really bothers me when something is just not in writing.
	They keep saying, ah, you know, the Republican platform, the GOP platform is all about conversion therapy.
	The word is not in there.
	LGBTQ is not even in there specifically.
	But they do say, and that I think is how it's misconstrued, and I have a point to this, they do say, Well, whatever treatment we want to give our children, we should have the right to do that.
	We shouldn't have to do whatever Obamacare says.
	That's the way I read it.
	Then we had Gavin Newsom come out.
	Our local yokel.
	Your local yokel.
	And he said this.
	And Democrats, while it was refreshing to finally see an openly gay man speak at a Republican convention...
	It doesn't remove the stain of selecting Mike Pence, America's most anti-LGBT governor.
	Pence has supported overt discrimination.
	He's even advocated for diverting taxpayer dollars to so-called conversion therapy.
	Make no mistake.
	Make no mistake.
	Conversion therapy is not about crane away the gay.
	It's an emotional torture against our most innocent citizens, our children.
	All right.
	Telling them that to live they must lie.
	Lie about who they are and lie about who they love.
	That is fundamentally un-American.
	So I had heard about this, that Mike Pence had tried to, or diverted funds from HIV-AIDS to conversion therapy.
	And then I'm like, is this really true?
	Because this guy's an a-hole if he really did that.
	So I go look it up.
	This goes back to 2000.
	This is how old this is.
	And during his first run for Congress in 2000, there was, let me see, he wrote on his website in a section on LGBT issues that money from a program to help those with HIV-AIDS should go to organizations, and actually I have the text here, Strengthening the American Family.
	It reads, Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.
	Not good optics.
	After completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of HIV virus, resources should be directed towards those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.
	Now, the way I read that is you are out of control.
	You cannot go around having unprotected sex, and you have to be, and certainly drug-related sex in the gay community is really big.
	That is what I read as, I mean, that's my mind.
	I read that as, oh, you want them to change their sexual behavior to not spread the HIV virus.
	How you get from that to conversion therapy, no matter how you look at it, is quite a leap.
	Well, somebody apparently did it, and they've been riding that pony ever since.
	They certainly have been riding that pony.
	It is a stretch.
	It's quite a stretch.
	The whole term conversion therapy is made up by some very smart people.
	Almost, I have to say, when it comes to persuasion.
	Man, when Trump launched, the day before the convention launched, the Hillary Rotten Clinton, I could not unhear that.
	Hillary Rotten Clinton?
	Yeah, he launched this thing.
	Tina saw it.
	I figured it's on the face bags.
	It's out there.
	Hey, why didn't she use her middle name?
	Hillary Rotten Clinton.
	So every single time at the convention, it was Hillary Rotten Clinton.
	You could not unhear it.
	It was very well done.
	Mean, but very well done.
	Yeah, well, most of it's mean.
	Yeah.
	But it's mean going both ways.
	Exactly.
	I mean, if you listen to Elizabeth, talk about demonization, you could play that clip all day.
	But if you listen to, I got a couple of little bits from Elizabeth Warren.
	She is the most hateful woman I've ever listened to.
	I mean, I've always been a fan of hers in some funny way because I was going to bet on her.
	But she dropped the ball, so it didn't work out.
	And I luckily didn't go to Vegas.
	But here's a warrant on Trump.
	Okay, hold on.
	Yep.
	Got it.
	Did you hear even one solid proposal from Trump for increasing income or improving your kids' education or creating even one single good-paying job?
	Let's face it.
	Donald Trump has no real plans for jobs or for college kids or for seniors.
	No plans to make anything great for anyone except rich guys like Donald Trump.
	Now what plans do we know about from Hillary?
	Well, it's interesting you bring that up because, what was it?
	Someone was, let me see if I can find this.
	Someone was talking about that Hillary has the solution to ISIS. Maybe, I thought I had a clip about that.
	So anyway, I went to go look to see what her plan is for ISIS. And if you go to the Hillary Clinton website, Uh, dot com website.
	It's pretty...
	You should do that, John.
	Just look at this website.
	Uh...
	They have so many issues on this site.
	Just tons and tons of them.
	So you scroll down.
	Actually, we go to issues.
	Here we go.
	We go to issues.
	All issues.
	We go down and we're going to go find...
	Here it is.
	Gun prevention.
	Chip in, by the way.
	Yeah, definitely chip in.
	Where is...
	Oh, it looks like they've changed around a little bit.
	You can't even find...
	It's so hard to see.
	Are you looking at this page with all of her issues?
	I can't get anything but this chip-in page.
	Oh, continue.
	Oh, combating terrorism and keeping the homeland safe.
	So, here we go.
	She has a plan.
	Ready for the plan?
	I'll read.
	Oh, here it is.
	I see it.
	Number one.
	All right.
	Take out ISIS's stronghold in Iraq and Syria.
	And we do that by intensifying the coalition air campaign against ISIS fighters, leaders, and infrastructure.
	Stepping up support.
	chipping in for local arab and kurdish forces on the ground and coalition efforts to protect civilians and pursuing a diplomatic strategy aimed at resolving serious civil war and in iraq sectarian conflict between sunnis and shias both of which have contributed to the rise of isis well that's what we're doing right now the None of that is new or stunning.
	And then, of course, we have to stem the flow of jihadists from Europe and America.
	Okay.
	To end that, we must work with our allies to dismantle the global terror network that supplies radical jihadists with money, weapons, and fighters.
	Oh, it's so simple!
	So what that means is working hand-in-hand with European intelligence services to identify and go after enablers who help jihadists forge documents and travel undetected.
	Targeting efforts to deal with ISIS affiliates from Libya to Afghanistan.
	Working with tech companies is a good one.
	Working with tech companies to fight jihadist propaganda online, intercept ISIS communications, and track and analyze social media posts to stop attacks while protecting security and privacy.
	This is nothing.
	What plan?
	This is no plan.
	This is what we're doing right now.
	And remember, we're still talking about ISIS. Third paragraph.
	Supporting first responders, law enforcement, and intelligence officers with the right tools, resources, intelligence, and training to prevent attacks before they happen.
	Oh, we don't have enough of that already?
	Okay.
	Launching an intelligence surge...
	Which I like.
	I like that, yeah.
	Use Bush's old term.
	But it means something different here.
	Launching an intelligence surge to get security officials the tools they need to prevent attacks.
	What does that mean in that case?
	Does that surge mean they're surging out for money?
	That sounds like another cognitive dissonance opportunity.
	Well, that would make sense because the next line is keeping assault weapons and other tools of terror out of the terrorist hands by allowing the FBI to stop gun sales to suspected terrorists enacting comprehensive background checks and keeping military-style assault weapons off the streets.
	So that's how it works.
	The cognitive dissonance of this intelligence surge and then no more guns.
	So, it ain't all that.
	There's no comprehensive plan.
	It's the same thing we're doing now, which doesn't seem to be working out great.
	At all.
	No, to say the least.
	Alright, I just want to get back a little bit to the convention.
	Yes.
	Because I have a million little just...
	Why don't we take a break and then come back?
	How does that sound?
	Oh, great idea.
	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...
	Convention.
	Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all the ships and sea boots on the ground feeding the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Record numbers today.
	Good to see you all here.
	Good to have you on board.
	And of course, I want to say in the morning to our artist who brought us the artwork for episode 845.
	Now this was, I don't think we've had a lot of his art.
	This was done by Trent Wabbis.
	And he had the great picture of Hillary with Bernie, you know, hogtied.
	And we really appreciate the work that our artists do.
	And you can look at all the submissions and also submit yourself at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	We had a lot of response to the newsletter.
	Which I want to compliment you on.
	This was...
	It was more like a column.
	You actually get paid real money to write this stuff for publications.
	It was a column.
	No one would publish it, I'm sure, which is why it's a newsletter.
	I could always get stuff published.
	But I'm saying, you get paid real money for doing this kind of stuff.
	Yeah, well luckily people responded well.
	Yes.
	Got a lot of compliments.
	Hey, good, good, best ever!
	That kind of stuff.
	And we do have a good response, including starting off with $1,314.17.
	Whoa!
	Don't look over here!
	Oops!
	I want to hit my bell.
	Whoa!
	You know, you should get a real bell.
	I like my bell.
	And it sounds the same, but it's...
	For one thing, I can do stuff like this with my bell.
	I can push it up against something and...
	It may sound like...
	Yeah, that's great.
	So jealous.
	Ferdinand Becker in Arcadia, Florida.
	13131417, which actually refers to 131417.
	I'm not sure.
	What is that?
	13, 14, 17.
	I think what he did is he needed to put in enough to also get his lovely bride a damehood, so we have a double shot here.
	Ah, but it still sounds like something with meaning.
	I'm sure.
	All right.
	ITM Jensen, many thanks for the BPEITU. This donation will bring me to knighthood and will also allow my lovely bride to become a dame as well.
	We are on a road trip tomorrow and plan to be listening live, so please knight us Sir Francis and Dame Jamie of Roberts Bay.
	Done.
	We'd like to request a serving of cookies and vodka at the round table today and a double douchebag call-out to our two human resources traveling with us.
	They are certainly not DBs, but they get a real kick out of that ISO when they hear it.
	Oh, okay, we'll play it for you.
	All right, kids.
	Have Daddy crank it up!
	Douchebag!
	We're now an official...
	That's the weirdest version of the request for the douchebag call-out.
	We're now an official no-agenda family and proud to be so.
	We cannot thank both of you enough for the twice-weekly deconstruction.
	We know that it takes time and effort.
	Adios mofo.
	Karma for everybody.
	Okay, and I'm putting cookies and vodka on the list.
	You've got karma.
	Okay.
	And then we have another good massive donation, and I have to go back to my email to find if he's got a note.
	Did you have one from him?
	Because it's a blank.
	Hans, let me see.
	Hans Christensen.
	I don't know that I do.
	Let's see real quick.
	Yes, what do I have here?
	I have just a notification, but it's...
	Oh, here it is.
	You got it?
	I don't have it.
	No, this is actually for something else he sent in.
	This is where he sends in a Sharia law comment from the 24th of July, which predates this donation by quite a bit.
	This is something I do want to read.
	I'm going to read it on the Sunday show or later.
	I don't know.
	I don't have anything on this particular...
	His email's in here, so it should be...
	Well, his donation is a thousand.
	Yes, Hans Christensen is a thousand.
	Now, is that and is he not a knight?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Well, I think we should knight him whether he is or not.
	And we'll give him some karma.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, put him on the list.
	I don't think he's on the list.
	He's got karma.
	Hans Christensen.
	Generally, I would say that Eric probably checked that.
	He knows he's probably a baronet by an hour, but just to be on the safe side.
	Okay.
	Nicholas Neff.
	Pliotis in Waukegan, Illinois.
	$350.
	And he did send us a note.
	I think.
	Let me look.
	P-L-I-O Pliotis Okay, get it.
	Notification of donation received.
	No note.
	Okay, that's possible.
	You can send us a note later.
	We can play it.
	We have another one from Richard Ballard in Alberg, and by the way, Nicholas Napriotis is $350 from Alkegan, Illinois.
	Richard Ballard in Alberg, Vermont, $334.34.
	This actually came in as a check, and it was...
	I had to go dig the note up.
	The note was by email.
	Well, I should recommend people.
	It was one of those auto-checks, so it wasn't a...
	Right.
	If you do it this way, you have to do it.
	I sent a check for 334.
	Hopefully, it made it on time for Sunday's show.
	You beat that.
	Please de-douche me.
	This has been a couple of years.
	I was walking around the other day, and all of a sudden, this chant came into my head, and I realized I was radicalized, and I had to act on it.
	Fortunately, I had just sold a trailer...
	So I had a little extra to send you away.
	Hopefully, I can make it to the roundtable next year.
	Thanks for a great show.
	I should have won the award for humor, as I don't know how many times I've burst out laughing, but it also keeps me thinking.
	Thanks, and please play the No Agenda chant.
	Donate to a No Agenda.
	Also, please add some karma for my son Jesse, who is getting married in September.
	Woo!
	You've been de-douched.
	Donate to a No Agenda.
	They give us shows week after week.
	Donate to a No Agenda.
	It's a show that's really unique.
	Donate to a No Agenda.
	Listen to John and Adam speak.
	Donate to a no agenda.
	Science is turning into a clique.
	You've got karma.
	John Height in Folsom, California, 325.
	If this donation makes me a night, I will add an email to John and Adam with accounting.
	Love the show.
	Karma for all.
	You've got karma.
	Oh, and here we go.
	The evil Kraut brothers from New York have come in with $300.
	We'll keep this short.
	Thank you for your dedication to looking under the surface and behind the narrative to deliver uniquely transparent analysis of current events.
	The evil Kraut brothers are truly proud to support your continued work in education and illumination.
	While Hillary is not, as Eleanor Clift puts it, a constitutional lawyer!
	She will no doubt, after being elected, treat the document with the same loving respect as our current president.
	Evil Kraut brothers.
	The Kraut brothers are the best.
	Good to hear from you guys again.
	Thank you for your support.
	They are knights, of course.
	Yeah, the Baron of Babylon.
	Black Knights are Baron Brian Barrow in Royal Wooten in Wiltshire, UK. At $250 to be an associate executive producer for show, whatever it is.
	Dear John and Adam, this comes to you.
	Mark, 25 years of wedding bliss to my beautiful wife, Maura.
	She heard your call for help and suggested I take out a subscription to keep you both gainfully employed.
	It cuts off on mine.
	Yeah, it cuts off on mine.
	Well, that's very kind.
	And congratulations!
	25 years!
	And they never had a fight!
	Amazing!
	You've got karma.
	At least I never had a bad fight.
	Shelby Laferne in Houston, Texas, 246.90.
	Here we go.
	It was an email sent Lafernie.
	Of course, if I didn't do all these clips today, I would have pre-captured these things, but I didn't.
	So, let me see.
	Yeah, it was kind of a busy day, somehow.
	Lafernie.
	Capital L, small F. L-A-F-E-R-N. Squirrel mail says...
	Shelby Laferne, you got an on-air message for no agenda donation.
	That's the way to do it.
	Hey, John, you should have received PayPal donation from Shelly Laferne in Dallas, Texas.
	Please keep this anonymous.
	No, no.
	I'm just kidding.
	That's the kind of thing we get when people do this sort of thing.
	Yeah, really.
	Oh, no, it does say that.
	Use Shelby LeGray from Houston, Texas for the following message.
	Thanks for all you can do.
	Don't do that, people.
	Don't do that.
	It's very dumb.
	Set that in the beginning.
	Okay, Shelby's a guy.
	First off, thanks for all you do.
	I've been a listener for about two years now after my manager.
	And yes, we do this, you know, we close the book at midnight.
	And then we, Eric massages it.
	If there's no mention of any of this in the, which you can do, it shows up there if you click on the, there's a button, or it's not hard to leave a message in the PayPal thing.
	Anyway, okay.
	First of all, thanks for all you do.
	I've been a listener for about two years now after my manager, Andrew, hit me in the mouth.
	Your take on current and future events should be...
	What?
	Oh, helps keep me thinking.
	Please call Andrew out as a douchebag for never-donate.
	Andrew McTally.
	I'd like to request to be deduced on behalf of my donation.
	Half of it should be credited to him.
	I'm donating on his behalf since he's the best manager in the world and the best I've ever had.
	He's been extremely willing to work with me during my separation from the company and move across the state to be with my wife.
	For this and showing me the no-agenda way, I am very grateful and happy to call him my friend.
	I'd like to request the following jingles in the morning.
	Too good to believe.
	And two to the head.
	I think it's too delicious to believe, right?
	Is that the one?
	I would be fine, yeah.
	You've been de-douched.
	Wait a minute.
	It was in the morning.
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	You've got karma.
	Marshall Ratushniak.
	Ratushniak, I agree.
	In Regina, Saskatchewan, 240-24.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for all this semi-weekly dose of sanity, critical thinking, and good humor.
	To my knowledge, no one's done this yet, so please accept my triple-breasted associate executive producership of $240.24.
	Okay, can you figure out what the triple-breasted thing is?
	No, I don't understand that at all.
	Okay, I'm not going to request any jingles, but please, some much-needed health karma.
	You got it!
	You've got karma.
	And then we drop down to...
	Rob Scrooge.
	Rob Scrooge.
	Right.
	Rob Scrooge in San Jose, California.
	23456.
	A great donation.
	Forgive me for the no agenda donation that I've sinned.
	Or forgive me, no agenda nation, for I've sinned.
	I've been over a year since my last donation.
	A thank you is in order as Steve Marchi, a producer on your last show, for calling me out on my douchebaggery.
	He made me realize it was time to pony up the cash for the award-winning best podcast in the universe.
	And I'd like to put this donation towards a proper de-douching.
	I just got a note from Tina the Keeper.
	Triple boobs donation 8008 times 3 is...
	Exactly.
	240.24.
	Well, that's someone who's keeping track.
	Man!
	That's...
	You've got boobs on the mind.
	Okie dokie.
	And what are we doing here for Scrooge?
	I'm still reading.
	In addition, he needs a de-douchey and jobs karma for my wonderful fiancé and general karma for all the other No Agenda producers out there.
	It'd be greatly appreciated.
	Thank you for your continued hard work in creating a safe space of sanity for those of us who have been hit in the mouth.
	You've been deduced.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Bingo.
	Robert Bruckner in Gilbert, Arizona.
	Also 23456.
	ITM, an additional donation on top of the monthly value-for-value contribution for the many insane hours you're spending watching and deconstructing the media BS in order to keep us sane.
	Recent house-building karma from the previous donation worked!
	Thanks, and extra karma for...
	It got cut off.
	You've got karma.
	Carl Haberger in Rochester, New York, $200.03.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Jim Carlson in Denver, Colorado, 23456.
	Another 23456.
	He sent in a hand note, which I'll read.
	This was a check.
	This is my fourth contribution to the greatest podcast in the world, and I'm making it early.
	If this is his fourth, I don't know if he's got a knighthood coming or not.
	Jim, send us a note whether you have a knighthood coming.
	This is what is more important.
	It's the current administration.
	It's a pain in the butt, and this is not the reason for this early contribution.
	I have a knee replacement, and the pain from this is too great.
	I see the doctor on the 25th of July, and I'm hoping to have this operation as soon as possible.
	Oh, he says he must have a knee replacement.
	Thus, I must make a contribution now, as apparently the pain from the operation is bad, and for two to three weeks I'll be on heavy pain medications, and the recuperation will take several months, in which I will probably not be aware.
	I owe my favorite source of current news, the No Agenda Show, financial support.
	In other words, he figures he's going to be not silly.
	But I will faithfully listen as many times as I can to your great podcast as the main source of my news.
	I'm thanking both of you in advance for future presentations.
	And with a great amount of time you spend in researching information for each podcast, I know you are famous worldwide.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, there's something funny about that, I guess.
	Does he want a karma?
	He wants pain karma.
	Pain karma.
	Yeah.
	You've got karma.
	Hey, by the way, we shook our rain sticks for the sand fire.
	It rained everywhere.
	Austin's been raining for three days.
	But L.A., nothing.
	No, from Nevada over, it doesn't seem to have any effect.
	I don't, that's very odd.
	I got tons of messages, but oh, it rains, it rains.
	Everyone's like, oh, it worked, it worked, but it's not working where it's supposed to work.
	I don't know why it's odd.
	But we had three days, was supposed to be 100 degrees, full-on sun, and it rained, it was 78 degrees.
	These sticks are dangerous.
	Yeah, they are.
	Carl Heberger in Rochester, New York, $200.33.
	Gents.
	The show has been better than ever these past few months.
	Curry's breakdown of the $1.9 billion Zika bill is the kind of information you can't get anywhere else.
	Journalism in this country is dead.
	Quick plug if you don't mind.
	I co-host a comedy podcast where I review other podcasts, play clips, and provide analysis.
	Hey, wait a minute!
	It's called the Who Are These Podcasts?
	I've got to listen to that.
	Sounds like the show we're trying to make.
	A comedy show.
	The website is whoarethese.com.
	Finally, it's my beautiful wife's birthday this Saturday, this 30th.
	Jean Santoro turns 47 years old.
	If you can add her to the birthday segment, it would be much appreciated.
	Please play Whoop, Whoopie, Get Out of My Vagina, followed by Obama, No, No, No, Keep Up the Great Work.
	This is truly the best podcast in the universe.
	And he should know.
	He looks at all the podcasts.
	Well, he certainly does.
	Get out of my vagina!
	Hey, listen... listen...
	Hey, you're in my house.
	Hey.
	Hey.
	Shame on you.
	You've got karma.
	Tom Moser in Bloomington, Illinois.
	200 bucks as we wrap this up.
	And he did send a note in, which I found during that long segment.
	I'm happy to support the excellent work on the best podcast in the universe.
	You've been working your tail off lately, but we slaves really appreciate all the extra time that you've been putting in.
	I saw the recent newsletter, and I knew it had been too long since I donated.
	I should have an aside here.
	Every time I've done a newsletter...
	It never works.
	It never works to get anybody to donate.
	When you really do a full-on amazing content, like this last one, like a column, basically a column...
	When I write a column...
	Well, I can write columns, let's face it.
	So I'll do a couple more columns.
	Right, but usually they don't work.
	People don't respond very well to them.
	And this time they did.
	Well, this one here was...
	I thought it brought out a new dimension, which the show does.
	I mean, what we do is we bring in different kinds of thinking to help explain.
	And I thought this...
	Although apparently I think your friend in Stanford, his wife, read it and took offense...
	To this globalism versus nationalism argument, which is what we're dealing with here.
	And I thought I supported my point very well, and all I heard from her was, you suck.
	This was a big thing, because there was this meme going around, no flags at the convention.
	And that was arguably true.
	But Snopes, Snopes, hello, Snopes, they wrote 15 pages of why it was bullshit.
	Well, we know Snopes is compromised toward the Democrats.
	If you look up the idea that people have pointed this out to me, I say, what are you talking about?
	That Al Gore invented the internet.
	And you put that in there to Snopes and say, this is false.
	He never said that.
	But when you read their explanation...
	It's clear that he did say it.
	He just didn't use the word.
	He had an extra word in there or something.
	Yeah, he said, when I started the internet or something like that.
	Yeah, something like that.
	It was different.
	You can look it up and figure out what it was.
	But it was bullshit.
	It's actually true that he made the comment.
	Yes.
	I am reminded, and I'm going to probably talk about, we don't have time today, but there's a Washington, you should all look at this.
	There's a Washington Post article on Trump's, you can look it up under Trump's, it's the Washington Post, which is, you know, is very in the can for Hillary.
	Ever since Trump banned them from attending his press conferences.
	No, they were in the bag earlier, before he banned them.
	Sure.
	They said, and it's very, it's turning into like a National Enquirer level of trolling.
	They said, here are Donald Trump's lies, annotated, or something like that.
	It goes on.
	And you can go through and they have, you can click on the, they have it highlighted where he lied.
	And you highlight these things and read what they're talking about.
	Here's the way the lie goes.
	Hillary Clinton hasn't given a press conference for 235 days and I'm giving them all the time.
	You click on that and it says, well, yeah, this is true.
	How is that a lie?
	Yeah.
	You can click on every one of them and most of them are a difference of opinion.
	Yeah.
	Yes, a difference of opinion.
	That's exactly what it is.
	That's a lie.
	If you don't agree with me, which I think is symbolic.
	You're a liar.
	If you don't agree with me, then you're a liar.
	Worse, you're a Republican.
	That's the bottom line.
	If you don't agree with me, you're a horrible Republican.
	Which is so offensive.
	First of all, to put anyone in a box.
	It's just bigoted.
	It doesn't matter.
	Okay, let's continue.
	Tom, it's been too long since I did.
	I saw the recent newsletter and I knew it was been too long since I donated.
	So I donated $200.
	For jingles, I would like to hear the following sound files from Game of Thrones.
	We don't have a game.
	Do we have the Game of Thrones in the morning, Bastard?
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, we do.
	Okay, then he wants that followed by Boom Shakalaka by Lil Girl.
	Lil Girl, Boom Shakalaka, and then Karma.
	And then he continues, one cool sound bike that I wish you'd consider adding from the movie Billy Madison, where he says...
	What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard.
	I love that sound, Mike, and it applies to so many clips played on the show.
	I don't have that.
	I don't have that.
	So he just wants the Game of Thrones, then?
	No, that and Boom Shakalaka by Little Girl, and then Karma.
	Oh, okay.
	Boom Shakalaka and a Karma.
	You got it.
	In the morning, then.
	Austin.
	Boom Shakalaka!
	Boom Shakalaka!
	You've got karma.
	And then we finish up here with Nick Mellinger in Wiesbaden, $200.
	And I believe that the Wiesbaden would be in Germany.
	As Deutschland.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't think of this one anywhere else.
	I've been punched in the mouth by the German version of the No Agenda called Aufwachen Podcast.
	The Aufwachen Podcast, great.
	They seem to be big fans of No Agenda as well, since they reference back to you guys more and more often.
	We are going international, John.
	Yes, it's about time.
	Having been a listener for approximately six months, it's time to contribute to the show for the first time.
	So he wants a douchebag call out for the two Aufwachen podcast producers.
	Douchebag!
	For both of them.
	Oh.
	Douchebag!
	Sorry, I wouldn't want to miss.
	Thank you for the best podcast in the U.S. Yeah.
	And we'll give them a karma there.
	Everyone else who needs a karma.
	You've got karma.
	Now, before we do anything else, we have some PR mentions.
	First, there is a new No Agenda CD out.
	Ramsey Cain going nuts.
	And of course he's organizing that meetup in Vegas.
	So noagendacd.com.
	And I wanted to remind everybody because I checked it out because of some email chain that John and I were on.
	The No Agenda Book Club is being maintained.
	It is pretty up to date.
	Noagendabookclub.com.
	It's a fun site if you're interested in some of the books, some of the material that really started us on deconstructing media and understanding the official governance versus the efficient governance worldwide.
	So it's definitely something to look out for.
	And we thank all of our producers, of course.
	We'll be thanking people at $50 or above later on in the program.
	But our executive producers today, thank you.
	Fantastic support.
	It is exactly how the value for value model works.
	If you feel you're getting this value, this is how you let us know.
	And I just can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
	Especially because, yeah, it has been a challenging couple of weeks.
	Just physically.
	Just physically challenging.
	Yeah, we got one more show to conclude this particular convention, which will be on Sunday.
	We do need your help for that show.
	Yes, we do.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A. And remember, don't try it on people who you can't convert.
	Always go for the thinkers.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, ladies.
	Shut up, slave!
	Oh, also, I got a note from Tony Cabrera.
	He runs No Agenda Shop.
	And he sent me a hat.
	It's a Donald Trump Make America Great Again hat replica.
	Same color, same lettering.
	Except it says, make no agenda great again.
	And that's where cognitive dissonance entered my mind.
	We have to make it great again?
	I love it.
	It's a great hat.
	It's really nice.
	I think if you're going to send me one, he hasn't sent me one.
	But I like to make him podcasting great again.
	That's what I think, yeah.
	Anyway, he says, his wife is finally listening to the show and becoming a fan like me.
	And he says, happy to help out.
	And so we're...
	We like that.
	He's got his own logos and stuff, but it's nice.
	I actually ordered a shirt.
	It's nice.
	It's good stuff.
	Good quality.
	Before we go on, I want to go through my run.
	I don't want to play any more clips for a while, at least me.
	Although there's clips available for some of these comments.
	What I've done is I took copious notes because I think I can get through a lot of notes faster than I can get through a lot of clips.
	Okay.
	And they're just mentions of certain things that I've noticed day to day.
	The no human is illegal sign that was up on the podium.
	While there was no American flag, there was this.
	Have you noticed that they not only start late, they're tardy.
	The whole party was tardy.
	And compared to them, they always start at four in the afternoon.
	And they're tardy, and they're never on time.
	One was a half hour late.
	I like the tardy party.
	It's the tardy party.
	Maybe that's a show title.
	I already had people spewing hate because of Cain and Unable.
	Because you know, if we say the tardy party, they'll think that we're talking about retards and then we're wrong.
	This is how people think these days.
	Well, they're screwed up.
	Meanwhile, if you notice the Republicans, they started it.
	I remember after the first day was started at seven in the morning.
	Rance Priebus goes up there tomorrow will be starting at 7 a.m.
	And then it was 730 for the third day.
	Yeah.
	I mean, what?
	That doesn't get gets me.
	Lots of no-flags talk, open borders, a lot of Mexicans talking and promoting that as much.
	No mention of ISIS, the first day, and maybe one mention the second day.
	New York Times reported and mentioned 300 protesters in Cleveland versus thousands in Philly.
	That was never covered by the mainstream media.
	Half hour later than usual is when they love theme is the thing.
	Oh, there's a lot of the love, which as you pointed out in your newsletter, that this is very much a globalist idea of don't worry about borders and immigration.
	Everyone should just be able to live everywhere and move around, and love will win everything.
	Love conquers all.
	Love is all you need.
	Which, it's a very nice idea.
	I'm all for unicorns and rainbows.
	Yeah, we wish.
	Yeah, but it's just not...
	Realistic.
	And as you even properly said in the newsletter, this goes back to Loretta Lynch right after the Orlando shooting.
	That's when she says, we need to fight this with love.
	I really like the idea.
	I do.
	But it's just not exactly how the world works.
	I don't think the world has ever really worked that way.
	I want it.
	I do.
	They have a lot of, onward, the list, a lot of Islam guys come up to do the benediction or whatever, and they always say, God, not Allah.
	Yeah.
	I thought that was awkward.
	Yeah.
	The wheelchair person and the blind kid.
	The wheelchair?
	I was just flipping.
	I was dropping off.
	What is going on?
	What an abuse.
	It's abuse.
	I like the song, It's Hip to be Square.
	They played that.
	There's something ironic about that.
	They played so many songs from the ASCAP BMI catalog.
	I don't know if I should...
	I could probably do this right now.
	Remind me to play the bit about the songs later.
	Go ahead.
	I want to hear your notes.
	Let me write this down.
	Yeah, the songs.
	About the songs.
	The bit about songs.
	The reason is because I don't want to be one of those shows where we forget, we promise, and never deliver.
	Right.
	We deliver.
	Elizabeth Warren comes out with the devil's colors, red and black.
	Also, sadomasochistic cults are all red and black is a big deal.
	And then when Hillary, when the glass ceiling, which is not a ceiling, but it looks like just a window, breaks and Hillary shows up, she's also wearing the devil's color red.
	Nice.
	Axelrod was on one of the talk shows to discuss how circumspect they were, and he was very concerned about this convention because he wasn't involved with it, but he said that they were very careful about not making Obama...
	Black, an issue.
	They didn't want to talk about him as being black, black, black.
	Oh, the first black, the first black, the first black.
	It all had to be woman.
	It couldn't be black, it had to be woman this time.
	Well, he's concerned about that.
	He says he doesn't like it.
	He doesn't like this.
	Woman, you've got to elect her only because she's a woman.
	He thought it was a negative thing.
	Well, Scott Adams wrote a blog post.
	He said, selling past the deal or something...
	He says, you know, once you've sold everybody on the fact that Hillary is the first female president...
	Yeah, you're unselling now.
	Yeah, so he says you're unselling, and I have to agree that After a while, I couldn't, and he even writes about that, I saw it after the fact, but I could not help feeling demasculated.
	You know, it's like, you're just no good.
	You know, men are just no good.
	Yeah, I think you're going to really lose a huge man's book.
	It was like, and it was hard to kind of explain why, but it just feels like, well, actually, here's, this was kind of funny, this was whoopee.
	And she's commenting on it.
	So this idea that you didn't know that the system was rigged, do your homework.
	It's been rigged for years.
	So I can't look at those and get mad.
	I can't get mad that the system is rigged against the white guy.
	I can't.
	Wow.
	I can.
	What is she saying?
	She's saying, screw whitey.
	That's what she's saying, it sounds like to me.
	I can't get mad about a system that was rigged against the white guy.
	That's not very democratic.
	Wow.
	Okay, clip of the day.
	Oh, thank you.
	I didn't even expect that one.
	Clip of the day.
	Onward with the list.
	The place was half empty and there was no comment about this.
	They did specials.
	They had to actually solicit people to show up in Craigslist, apparently, because the Bernie people all walked out.
	And there was no mention of this by the mainstream media.
	They did an entire special, which we played on the last show, where they were showing that the convention was not, you know, at 1130 at night or 11 at night, people were leaving and they made a big deal out of it.
	Nobody said anything about this.
	I think one of the top things that they did in this thing, along with the great little movies they made, was the Dead Hollywood Roll Call.
	Oh, I must have missed that.
	You must have missed it.
	They rolled out every dead Democrat who died in 2015 with the same maudlin music, and they were just, oh, and you go, wow, I didn't know he was dead or she was dead.
	Did they have the title In Memoriam?
	Something like that.
	They had some sort of time when they began it, but it was a complete bit.
	It was another one of their movies, but it was the dead Hollywood roll call.
	I thought it was a dynamite idea.
	I've never seen it before.
	When do you get the climate stuff?
	Because I want to play that movie, the audio of that movie, that video.
	What?
	Dead guys?
	No, the scary climate video.
	Oh, okay.
	We'll get to that.
	I'm getting along.
	I'll get through this list so you can jump in.
	Flint, Michigan.
	I like the way they brought that up.
	I don't know if anyone notices this, but the Flint, Michigan fiasco began under Obama's regime, under Obama's EPA. Did they bring that?
	No.
	No.
	Harry Reid can't walk.
	Okay.
	Just a note.
	Have you noticed this?
	The poor guy's a wreck.
	I don't think he can see very well either.
	No, no, no.
	A lot of mini-movies.
	Back to the start.
	But I actually enjoy the funny walks.
	I think we had the RNC. There was a guy who had no chance of ever walking again.
	And his legs were really cool.
	Flip-flop, floppity-flop.
	And he had crutches.
	I don't remember that.
	And then, of course, Gabrielle Giffords did her full-on walk.
	I like that stuff.
	I like seeing people's imperfections.
	That's humanity to me.
	I like it.
	I don't like people being abused for her.
	Barbara Mikulski came out.
	She could barely walk.
	And she had this great thing that she said...
	That included one of our buzz phrases, macaroni and cheese.
	Yes.
	Do you have the clip of that?
	Yes, I do.
	Okay, where is it?
	Ah, I know where it is.
	Yeah, this was a jaw-dropper, and I mean, my phone was blowing up from the tweets.
	Well, fight for the macro issues and those macaroni and cheese issues.
	What does that even mean?
	I have no idea!
	The way we see it, macaroni and cheese is depression food, so I guess we're fighting for your morsels of macaroni and cheese soon to be bread and water during the Depression.
	Soon to be cockroach milk.
	I couldn't decode it any other way.
	Yes, the only way to figure that one out.
	They botched what the world needs now as love, sweet love.
	They brought out everybody who's acting on Broadway.
	They did the song and they did a video for it, kind of like a We Are The World video.
	I, personally, I like that.
	I like it.
	First of all, it's great performers, except Rosie Perez, who's on Broadway, but she cannot sing.
	But otherwise, I like that.
	To me, it's like, yeah, I get a kumbaya feeling from that.
	It's okay.
	I thought they were dropping the mic and it was a mess.
	Technically, it was not good because they had to pass the microphones.
	Yeah, it was dumb.
	By the way, all the music sounds like crap.
	Except for Lenny Kravitz.
	He sounded good.
	I thought he sounded bad, too.
	I don't think he sounded as good as he...
	I've seen him in person.
	He sounds better in a squeaky bar.
	Hillary keeps talking about children's health.
	That's the credit she gets mostly.
	Yeah, hold on.
	I have something that Trump said about health care in his press conference.
	More about Obamacare, but there was some information in there I didn't have yet.
	I can tell you, I mean, I'm like a pollster myself when I'm in front of these massive audiences.
	One of the things that gets constantly, you people know because you're there, the biggest applause is a repeal and replacement of Obamacare because Obamacare is a disaster.
	In Texas, going through Blue Cross Blue Shield, which is what I have, they just announced a 60% increase.
	On November 1st, I think he meant defeating or defining, not defying.
	That's always too bad that he does that.
	Because it is election defying.
	It's defying my election.
	It is going to be a massive number, the biggest number ever in our country's history for healthcare.
	It's going to be announced on November 1st.
	I just asked the press, don't let him do that.
	Obamacare is a disaster.
	People are dying with it.
	It's a disaster.
	And everybody knows it.
	And it's going to fold anyway.
	In 17, unfortunately, if I'm president, I mean, I've got to take over this mess.
	It's going to fold anyway.
	So I didn't know that they have to announce the new rates.
	There have been rate hikes.
	But what he's saying is that the president is trying to push that date back until after the election.
	Of course, this is exactly what you want to happen before the election if you're Donald Trump.
	Yeah, it's obvious you want to do that.
	I only got about three of these left.
	I'll do more for tonight, but the Hillary and the children's thing, they've got a lot of promotion.
	And then the last thing I noted, or two things, one is when Panetta was up there and they didn't boo him, but they were chanting, no more war, no more war, which I thought was interesting.
	But then when Obama spoke, there was the chant going on amongst the people on the floor, four more years.
	Which I thought was interesting because that's illegal.
	So, anyway, that's all I know.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's been four more years.
	Hooray for me.
	I have a couple things.
	I thought Michelle Obama's speech was dynamite.
	She's a great speaker.
	Well, play my clip of her before you play your clip, then.
	What's the clip called?
	Michelle something?
	I have Michelle on Trump.
	Yes, that one.
	Sorry?
	I'm saying this is an example of her being a great speaker.
	Go.
	You can't have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out.
	You need to be steady.
	Now, the thin-skinned thing, of course, is the Warren meme, and then the lash-out thing, which we've heard is kind of a media thing.
	Yeah.
	Every time Trump says anything, he's not saying anything.
	He's lashing out.
	But we have gone from hammered to slammed to skewered.
	Skewered is now the new one.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yeah, skewered.
	Skewered is the new one.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Oh, I got a couple.
	Stay with Michelle Obama for a moment.
	I liked it.
	I thought it was good.
	I thought she had a beautiful speech.
	Rachel Maddow's response after the speech was baffling.
	Yeah, the A-plus for the end of the speech.
	I think there's...
	I'm sorry, that's the wrong clip.
	I'll get to that in a moment.
	Wrong clip.
	The clip I wanted to play...
	Okay, can't find that.
	So, this is then after Bill's speech.
	No, wait.
	Here we go.
	This is just to let you hear about a controversy.
	Michelle Obama said, I live in a house that was built by slaves.
	Ah, yes.
	And Bill O'Reilly, the Democrat on Fox, he decided to explain that.
	So here we go.
	Fact or tip of the day.
	As we mentioned, talking points memo, Michelle Obama referenced slaves building the White House and referring to the evolution of America in a positive way.
	It was a positive comment.
	The history behind a remark is fascinating.
	George Washington selected the site.
	In 1791 and is presently the cornerstone in 1792.
	Washington was then running the country out of Philadelphia.
	Slaves did participate in the construction of the White House.
	Records show about 400 payments made to slave masters between 795 and 1801.
	In addition, free blacks, whites, and immigrants also worked on the massive building.
	There were no illegal immigrants at that time.
	If you could make it here, you could stay here.
	In 1800, President John Adams took up residence in what was then called the Executive Mansion.
	It was only later on they named it the White House.
	But Adams was in there with Abigail and they were still hammering nails.
	The construction was still going on.
	Slaves that worked there were well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802.
	However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor.
	So Michelle Obama is essentially correct.
	Inciting slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working as well.
	Okay.
	I wait.
	I have to correct most of that.
	Okay.
	I actually did a little research on this, and there's a couple of things you should know.
	First of all, the White House was pretty much demolished and burnt to the ground in 1814.
	So the White House that everyone's talking about, and Abigail Adams, by the way, he didn't mention this, she said that the slaves were working under miserable conditions.
	And that's one of the things that O'Reilly conveniently left out.
	But...
	After the thing was burnt to the ground in 1814 by the British, and when people talk about the War of 1812, and they talk about the thing being burnt down, we always shake our fists, but we have to remember that was done as a retribution for us burning down some parliament buildings up in Canada first.
	And the Canadians know this, but Americans seem to ignore all the aspects of the War of 1812, which Canadians still brag about beating us.
	The thing was rebuilt completely, and Abigail Adams died in 1818, so she doesn't know what was going on after that.
	She was out of the White House, which was the president's residence.
	It was only called the White House, which she also failed to mention, because the inside was gutted by fire, and there was very little exterior left, but what was left, they left it there and painted it white to cover up the burns.
	It was all burnt.
	Uh-huh.
	And it's all smoked in.
	So that's how it became the White House in the first place.
	And that was the first time it was named the White House.
	It was built less by...
	The whole slave issue, the house that she's living in is not the house that Abigail Adams was bitching about, about this miserable slave.
	That's interesting.
	It's a different place.
	Huh.
	So, anyway.
	It's huge, by the way.
	Huge.
	It's a two-story basement with a bowling alley.
	Oh, man.
	Anyway.
	Yes.
	Yeah, I just thought that's true.
	That's true.
	I don't think she should have said anything about that.
	I thought it's like Hillary gave her origin story, which I found very annoying.
	Yeah.
	Bill Clinton's speech.
	Any thoughts on that?
	I'm sorry, by the way, it was Obama's origin story.
	I thought it was annoying.
	We haven't heard from Hillary yet.
	I'm sorry, go back.
	Bill's speech.
	President Bill Clinton's speech.
	I don't know if I pulled anything from it.
	I thought it was a classic Bill Clinton speech.
	He got a few heckles, not much.
	Yeah, which he just talked over.
	Yeah, he's good at it.
	He knows how to do it.
	I think he still, he was all jacked up because when he was up in the balcony, you saw him, he looked like he was going to drop dead.
	He had his rosacea was all acting up.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And he couldn't close his mouth, you know, and all this sort of thing.
	And he's like, uh, and clapping here and there.
	And I don't know what they pump him up with, but when he goes and hits the stage.
	Oh yeah, no, he definitely, he was on some high teeth.
	I do have an anecdote about this.
	I met Arnold Toynbee when I was a student at Cal.
	And who is this?
	Arnold Toynbee is one of the most famous historians in the history of the world.
	I think he was 90 or something.
	He's in his 80s at least.
	And so he gave a talk at the ASUC building about the meaning of history and all this other stuff.
	And it was an open lecture.
	And it was astonishing.
	It was dynamite.
	He's like a guy who's been a professor forever and he's just knocking it out of the park.
	So I get a copy of one of his books and I try to get to him to get it autographed.
	I had to go to Stanford to do this because he was giving a seminar there.
	So I went to get him to autograph the book, and it was like a completely different person.
	He was like, he'd barely move, he could barely say two words.
	It was like a mess.
	So there's something about, there's people that can perform.
	Right.
	I also, I had a...
	A lot of rock guys I know are like that.
	Well, actually, there's a story that I got from...
	The guy who was the manager of the...
	Oh, I'm losing it here.
	He was one of the big rock managers and he worked with Bill Graham all the time.
	And they went to Russia with a bunch of bands and came back and he said Graham was wasted.
	He couldn't even move.
	They couldn't wake him up.
	He was just, they'd shake him and shake him, and he couldn't do anything.
	And Bruce Cohen, very famous guy who owns a winery.
	He says, and then, but as soon as the plane landed, he had to, apparently said they demanded him to give some talk, or the president, or somebody wanted to talk about this trip to Russia to play rock and roll.
	He says, and you couldn't imagine, this guy like snapped out of it and became a different person.
	And he was just dynamite up there.
	What do you think I do?
	What do you think I do twice a week?
	It's time for the show.
	I know that's time for the show.
	So I think Clinton is one of those guys.
	He's just a performer.
	Yeah, he is.
	So now the Rachel Maddow clip as she was responding to Bill's speech with a very surprising response.
	Yeah, the A-plus for the end of the speech.
	I think the beginning of the speech was...
	A controversial way to start, honestly.
	Talking, you know, the girl, a girl leading with this long story about him being attracted to an unnamed girl and thinking about whether he was starting something he couldn't finish.
	Building her whole political story for the whole first half of the speech around her marriage to him.
	I think, you know, lest there were worries that this was going to be too feminist a convention, That was not a feminist way to start.
	But the end of the speech was really good.
	I gotta say, the top of the speech I found shocking and weird.
	Shocking.
	Shocking, she says.
	Shocking and weird.
	What is wrong with her?
	Yeah, because he said that girl and her marriage to me, you know, he didn't use all the proper pronouns.
	He was politically incorrect.
	Yes!
	Whoops!
	No good.
	I got one kind of a funny clip out of Bill.
	This is taken out of context, but it's funny.
	Rachel Maddow was mansplaining.
	She was mansplaining.
	Bill satisfied clip I thought was good.
	Okay.
	If you were sitting where I'm sitting, and you heard what I have heard at every dinner conversation, every lunch conversation, on every long walk...
	You would say, this woman has never been satisfied.
	I understand your implication.
	And then we have the Bill Clinton opening, which is what Rachel hated.
	Yeah, that was her problem.
	I have lived a long, full, blessed life.
	It really took off when I met and fell in love with that girl in the spring of 1971.
	Yeah.
	That's what got Rachel bent out of shape.
	It's how 70-year-old people talk sometimes, Rachel.
	Come on.
	But I think what's...
	And she was a girl at the time.
	Young woman.
	Young woman.
	Girl at all?
	Young woman.
	Well, that reminds me of a cartoon I saw once where it said, Oh, you had a baby woman.
	Um...
	What got me to make that clip is the way he said, the very beginning of what he said there, sounds like he thinks his days are numbered.
	Yes, yes.
	Thank you for saying that.
	That's what I felt, too.
	And I think, you know, he had the send-off he wanted.
	Now, he's like, okay, I'm ready.
	You can kill me whenever you need it.
	You're shooting me when you need to.
	Shoot me when you need to.
	A couple of these late-night things, because, yes, I was up until three watching some of this.
	I just could not get enough of it.
	And quite honestly, to tell you the fact, is you have to do this in real time.
	You can't go back and look at...
	You have to have the whole vibe of it coming over to get the right nuance and clip the right things.
	But Jerry Springer, who is now known from the Jerry Springer podcast...
	I guess his show is only in reruns?
	Maybe he only does a podcast version of it.
	He probably makes millions in reruns.
	I would think so.
	He's on with Don Lemon.
	And I have to say Jerry Springer multiple times.
	He said, hey, this is just what I think.
	No one has to listen to me.
	I like him.
	But when you hear his...
	I think this is a true spirit of certainly middle-aged to upper-age liberals...
	No, I just said Democrats, members of the Democratic Party.
	I think this is what they truly feel about the presidency.
	And so I have nothing personal against him except I don't like his views on race.
	And I don't think someone who has never held political office...
	Or, you know, should run for president.
	It's the most important job in the world.
	We should have someone who has experience in that, not just ideas.
	Let him become a commentator then.
	If he reflects the people of angry people in America, that's fine.
	Then become a commentator and give you a point of view and speak for them, and he would get a lot of attention.
	But to be the most important political job in the world...
	I just love this country, and this is really...
	It's the most important job in the world.
	Put partisanship aside.
	If it's you and God alone in the room, you would not honestly say that the stuff he's been saying about Muslims, about Hispanics, about whether it's African Americans, whatever the group is, or handicapped people, or disabled, excuse me, whatever he says about those things, he's smart.
	He knows that that kind of gives cover and its code language, or what we say now, dog whistle, to people who believe that.
	And he knows that.
	And he damn well knows it.
	And if I was yelling at him at anything, I'd say, just stop it.
	Just stop it.
	That's rude.
	It's mean-spirited.
	It is un-American.
	So what he highlights here, which I heard many times, is you are not uniquely qualified, as, of course, I've said many times over multiple years that Hillary Clinton is uniquely qualified to run the empire.
	So I like that Bill took the uniquely qualified...
	Yeah, I was waiting for the whole sentence.
	Yeah, they didn't do that.
	But the idea that you cannot be president without experience, and at a certain point he says you should run first for your local library, and then your town council, city council, you gotta work your way up through the ranks, like President Obama did.
	Not...
	Wow, here's another guy.
	Wait, wait, let me just play the ISO. I'll just play this ISO. It's the most important job in the world.
	It's the most important job in the world.
	Obama himself, here's a cognitive dissonance that's within the Democratic Party.
	Obama himself says, he says this, and I don't have a clip of it, but he said it a lot.
	He says, this job, there's nothing like it.
	There's no way to prepare for it.
	And he's talking about being the president.
	If it's such a unique job that there's no way to prepare for it, how do we know that a guy who's a CEO type or a guy like Trump wouldn't be able to do it or anybody else?
	And then Bloomberg comes out with the same argument.
	But Bloomberg, what experience did he have to be the mayor of New York?
	Exactly.
	None!
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	And that's a pretty nasty job to get.
	Mayor of New York is not a position that you would take lightly.
	He has zero experience.
	So you have to make up your mind.
	You have to have a checklist of things.
	It's not in the Constitution.
	In the Constitution, you just have to be of a certain age.
	I can run.
	That's it.
	Outside CNN, of course, all the networks are doing interviews.
	And although this was never aired on CNN, it was, of course, captured on camera.
	Interview between the CNN producer, who's not even looking.
	He's just reading off questions.
	He's not even an interviewer.
	He's just a dude who's just shuffling the crew around.
	This guy looks interesting.
	Comes across, oh, horror, a black Donald Trump supporter.
	I'll tell you what he says in the beginning because it's kind of hard to hear.
	He says, what do you think about white supremacists supporting Donald Trump?
	And this, of course, is the question you ask the black guy.
	What do you think about the fact that white supremacists support Trump?
	It doesn't matter.
	That's the right to free speech.
	I'm sick of this race and divide.
	And CNN is perfect at doing that.
	It's always divide and conquer.
	People have the right to choose whatever they want.
	What the hell has that got to do with Donald Trump?
	He's not a racist.
	I'm sick of that.
	It's a scam!
	And I know it's not gonna get on CNN! We're sick of you media!
	Wow.
	Boy.
	It's a scam!
	I'm like, hey, he's channeling John.
	This is great.
	It's a scam!
	That's a great clip.
	You should get Clip of the Day.
	Another one.
	I'm pulling you.
	Damn.
	Clip of the Day.
	Okay, well, this one will disappoint you a little, but it's the only one I could find of an analysis of Trump's body language.
	He often does this A-OK thing with his fingers and then points a finger right after.
	What does that say?
	What's he doing by using that gesture?
	Well, he's been using that gesture for the whole of the campaign and years before that as well.
	It's his way of saying that he's authoritative, he's in control and everything's going to be right.
	And also that he has his finger on the delicate ideas there.
	It's that sense of I'm intelligent, I'm detailed, I know what I'm doing.
	And then he kind of follows it up with the squinty eye and then the pout.
	Is that a punctuation mark to what he's just said?
	Yeah, so he has that stoic look in his chin that in this context he was often playing in profile a lot of the time.
	It's that sense of, go on, hit me on the chin, I can take it.
	It's that powerful male big jaw gesture.
	that we've seen from many leaders in our time, back to Churchill, Mussolini.
	Many have done this profile look.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I wish they would do a little bit more on the hand signals because he has three very distinct hand signals.
	Of course, we have politicians and leaders all over the world talking about this, including Austria.
	The question of Donald Trump came up in Budapest as the Hungarian and Austrian leaders met to try to ease tensions over migration.
	Hungary's right-wing Prime Minister, who recently said he backed the US Republicans' hardline stance, again described immigration as a poison, saying his country didn't need a single migrant.
	The Austrian Chancellor begged to differ.
	Maybe one more thing that we don't agree with, Mr.
	Prime Minister, and this issue is Donald Trump.
	I'm sure that there's only one thing that we can learn from him, that a man should never dye his hair.
	A suggestion that once translated brought a glimmer of amusement from his host.
	But Viktor Orban once again lambasted the EU's plan to share migrants across member states under a compulsory quota system, saying Europe should learn from Donald Trump.
	The Democrats' foreign policy is bad for Europe and fatal for Hungary.
	On the other hand, the policy announced by Trump and the US Republicans on migration and foreign policy is good for Europe, and for Hungary it means life.
	Hungary has recently introduced further security measures along its border with Serbia.
	There you go.
	Don't dye your hair.
	That's what we've learned.
	Good work.
	I think this was CNN. This was very good.
	Hillary Rosen was on, who of course is the uber-democrat, super elite.
	Yeah, also the former head of the RIAA, responsible for putting old ladies in jail.
	Yes, yeah.
	And we're going to transition from that into the recording industry.
	But she was on the panel, it was early morning, with a representative of the Black Men for Sanders coordinator.
	And I believe he was on the panel, and Katrina Pearson, who is Trump's, I think, very adequate spokeshole, multi-culti girl, you've seen her.
	She does a pretty good job.
	She said something that he started agreeing with.
	Now, of course, just the mere fact that a black man would agree with anything Trump said was very confusing to the host, and this is what happened.
	And we see the DNC emails, the racism and bigotry in the DNC emails.
	These are all things that Republicans are being accused of doing.
	And it's been exposed to the country that it is the DNC that participates in racial divide and gender divide.
	And we are seeing this play out on a national stage, where someone like Donald Trump, who, as his daughter said it best, is color-blind and gender-neutral, just wants to keep America safe.
	I see, Gary here, you're shaking your head.
	Are you in agreement with Katrina?
	Absolutely, because again, it goes back to the minority communities that folks continue to overlook.
	That's the thing.
	These minority communities are suffering, and blighted communities that are suffering at the hands of established Democrats.
	These aren't the Republicans that are doing this to us.
	These are established Democrats that are doing this to us.
	So until we start to have a real conversation about...
	What we're going to do with those who are in the minority communities, how could we ever get behind such corruption?
	And I want to say this as well, too.
	You know, you cannot continue uttering Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy.
	You know, those people stood for integrity and morals, you know, and this is what they died for.
	Our votes, they died for our rights.
	Did you celebrate Michelle Obama's speech?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely not.
	And I'll tell you exactly why.
	I can tell you exactly why.
	Now, my hat's off to Michelle Obama.
	They've done some great things as a president and the first lady.
	But I think when you try to play the race card in the black community, because first you guys sent us over...
	You thought Michelle Obama was playing the race card?
	No, I think the establishment is playing the race card.
	All right, get him off now.
	You sent Obama.
	Obama didn't work.
	Then you tried to send us Oprah.
	Oprah didn't work.
	See, we are awake.
	Stop, stop.
	They are their own people.
	They are not anybody's tools.
	Stop talking to them.
	They're being used as tools.
	No, they are not.
	They're being used as tools.
	That is disrespectful to the first lady.
	No, that's disrespectful to us in the minority community.
	The guy nailed it.
	It was funny.
	Nailed it.
	Nailed it.
	If that meme from the blacks goes out into the mainstream, Hillary's screwed because she's really relying on the 92% of all blacks to vote for her.
	And she obviously just takes that for granted.
	And that's what the community will end up with, too.
	Nothing.
	I love how he says, first they gave us Oprah, that didn't work out.
	So they gave us Obama, that didn't work out.
	I think he has Oprah.
	The guy's very sour on all of this.
	Okay, Hilary Rosen, of course, was the president of the Recording Industry Association of America.
	And as we have documented many times on this show, because it's just not true that if you pay your ASCAP BMI performance license and you do not use the song as an endorsement or you do not synchronize it to video...
	Then you have the right to play that in a venue.
	And so we talked about this many times, and the most recent one was Queen saying, we didn't give you, it's unauthorized.
	That's fine.
	And we're looking at our legal options, which you don't have unless, we've talked about the points.
	If it's deemed as confusing towards the consumer, that would be under the Lanham Act, which I know because MTV sued me under the Lanham Act.
	Or if it's seen as an endorsement, Which is just not the case.
	But tonight with John Oliver, not only propagated the lie that you need permission, it's a lie.
	It is a lie.
	And you can turn to funny things, and it may not be a great thing to do, but even if an artist says, I didn't give you permission, this is bullshit, I disassociate myself, then they really can't sue you.
	Because, you know, it's not an endorsement, there's no confusion, you've already set that in play.
	So once you speak up, you really have no recourse.
	But they produced a video, high-end video, with Usher and Cyndi Lauper and, man, like Michael Bolton.
	They got everybody they could to sing this song.
	Who's they?
	You're talking about the party?
	The Tonight Show.
	No, last week, Tonight with John Oliver.
	He has good money.
	He's got great money.
	So he takes this lie...
	And he propagates, he continues to lie about what just the facts are.
	It's a big deal to me coming from the music business because people don't understand this and I'd like to try and explain it.
	And then he wrangles all these artists who sit there and lie as well.
	It was just baffling to me.
	Yes, that is Queen being played at the Republican National Convention.
	So it's with a heavy heart that I announce Freddie Mercury dead again at age 69.
	Now, Queen didn't give Trump permission to use that song, tweeting it was an unauthorized use at the Republican convention against our wishes.
	And yet, on his closing night, Trump used another unauthorized song to cover him dropping what was an almost sarcastic amount of balloons.
	And you will never guess what song it was.
	And what's interesting about that is that's one of his favorite songs.
	He plays that at the rallies.
	He's not even thinking about that, which is possibly a big mistake, but he just doesn't think that way.
	No shit!
	Look, Trump has used unauthorized music throughout his campaign.
	And if you think none of this is anything new, politicians have been appropriating pop music for as long as anyone can remember.
	Over the years, Sarah Palin has gotten in trouble for using Hart's Barracuda.
	John McCain was asked to stop using two John Mellencamp songs.
	The DNC was criticized by Cyndi Lauper for using True Colors.
	If artists want to lend their music to politicians, that's fine.
	But it is not okay for politicians to just take their songs.
	This happens every single election.
	Okay, just again, it is okay.
	They're paying for it each time they play the song in a venue that size.
	It's several hundred dollars that the musicians receive.
	For each individual rebroadcast, too.
	So, you know, then you receive it from each channel individually.
	Yeah, they're playing by the rules.
	They're playing by the rules.
	You may not like it, but they're playing by...
	If you don't like it, you can withdraw your music from ASCAP BMI, or you can put it in a special category, no venues over a thousand people.
	There's many ways that you can limit that, but why waste some good money?
	And it is time for musicians to come together and take a stand.
	Just listen to a little bit of this.
	It's really unbelievable.
	It's that time of year.
	Campaign season's here.
	You're waving point and make your speeches while balloons fall everywhere.
	But we notice something's wrong.
	This is Usher.
	And it's gone on way too long.
	So we're asking you right now to stop using our songs.
	Stop using our songs because it's illegal.
	And by the way, it's only against Republicans, of course.
	Now listen to Usher, what he says here.
	So I need to hear this coming up in 10 seconds so you can hear what Usher says, which is not true.
	appealing.
	Oh!
	But you're just here You're stealing Don't use our song It just seems wrong But the time is tuned is through Here it comes.
	Don't use a strong note.
	That's licensing.
	You gotta call my publisher, okay?
	No, you don't have to call your publisher.
	It's not licensing.
	The license has been paid for.
	Anyway, I'll stop yammering about it, but just unbelievable.
	I don't think you can talk about this enough from my perspective.
	It's deplorable that someone would exploit this situation.
	We're going to sue you and all the rest of it.
	Yeah, no, I understand what you're talking about, and I know about these license deals and the way they operate, because I've tried to do little albums.
	And, no, it's bullcrap, these guys.
	They're liars.
	Yeah.
	In the backdrop of all of this, the IRS is now forced to investigate the Clinton Foundation's, quote, pay-to-play operation.
	As there was a letter that went to the IRS on July 15th from, well, I can bring it up here, from a number of congressmen and women who said, we need you to investigate.
	We give you a congressional order.
	And the order is to James Comey as well as to the Honorable John Koshkinan, who is the commissioner of the IRS. And they say here the foundation's initial filings of the IRS 503 status appeared to prohibit much of its current activity, which we know from Ortel is true, because he's a guy who analyzes non-profits, and they're operating outside of their boundaries.
	And, of course, there's a lot more that comes with that, but I think the investigation now has to take place by law, I believe.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's not going to happen, at least before the election.
	I do have the one clip I have to play because I promised to play it in the newsletter, which I just thought was, when I heard it, it was a jaw-dropper.
	Because people really get flack for this.
	This was on C-SPAN, so nobody's noticed it.
	I think this is a pretty common way of...
	That this party operates, as you can tell from the cracked DNC server, is the little people clip.
	Okay, little people.
	I'm a delegate representing West Valley City, Utah.
	I ran to be a delegate.
	I believe that government should work for the poor, for the common people.
	And I decided to become a delegate this year because I want us to fight for the little people.
	The little people.
	The little people.
	This is the most arrogant thing you can imagine saying.
	I mean, when people use this in any sort of context and they call, well, we're going to help the little people.
	This is the most patronizing, condescending nonsense.
	And this is really, to me, is all I heard at this convention.
	And yeah, you can say, well, Hillary's great and she's going to be a woman and it's the first thing you're going to be a woman.
	She is a woman.
	She's going to be the first woman president.
	But she's a condescending.
	She's very condescending.
	When she did that little movie with that little girl that was the Mexican that was worried about her parents being taken away from her, there was a movie with Hillary.
	The little girl goes up to her and Hillary just looks like she doesn't give a screw about this little girl.
	The look on her face was, oh God, do I have to touch her?
	Seriously, I don't know how that even got through the censors.
	I think the little people was just a reference to Game of Thrones.
	I think that's what that was.
	In the morning, then.
	Busted.
	Alright, I'm kind of done with the convention, if you are.
	I have stuff for Sunday I can bring up.
	I have no problem just looking at my list.
	The little people when I had to get out of the way, the rest of it's pretty not important.
	I think we've made our point.
	Okay.
	I think we have made our point.
	We're talking about stabbings in France.
	Well, before we get to that, I want to take a break.
	And after the break, I want to bring you my report from Generation Porn.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on the agenda in the morning.
	So now we're doing teasers.
	Did you like it?
	Well, I figured the worst thing, here's how my brain worked.
	I'm like, we've got to take this break.
	We're late.
	We're going to go long.
	We have to alert the affiliates.
	And I thought, you know, but we just had this long thing.
	Okay, we're exhaling.
	I don't want people to glaze over.
	I got porn coming up, people.
	So stay tuned.
	Hence the tease.
	Wow, you got me teased.
	I'm going to run through these things so we can get to that.
	Let's rock and roll, baby.
	Guy Boazi.
	Guy.
	Oh, no, it is Guy Boazi.
	You're right, Guy.
	Guy Boazi and Baron from Hovot.
	Israel.
	Israel.
	$101.01.
	He's amazing.
	Newsletter has since proven that the value you two can put in an email is as much greater or greater than the value in any other media outlet.
	Mm-hmm.
	Imagine the value synthesized into a three-hour discussion, he says.
	I'm blowing the note.
	And then he finishes with amazing.
	Yes.
	Thanks, man.
	Colonel Crackers in Wilmington, Delaware, $101.
	Keep up the great work.
	Did you read his note?
	Roy says, recovering from divorce just as I retired, working for EPA and DOD, counter-terrorism, and much of what you say is right on.
	Please just call me Colonel Crackers.
	Thank you.
	I like that.
	I like hearing that.
	Yeah, that's good.
	I like hearing that, too.
	I like confirmation that many of our analyses, from people who are the professionals right now, we're just analysts.
	And if we hear something from a professional that's actually wearing this confirmed...
	And we do get people who say, oh, no, you're kind of wrong on that.
	And they trade us.
	Why don't we talk about it?
	Yeah.
	Coney Cabrera in Hawthorne, California, $100.21.
	Census donations made possible to purchase from the Noah's Agenda Shop.
	Yeah, NoahGendaShop.com.
	He's the guy who sent me the hat.
	Robert Blankenshain in Lyle.
	Hold on, I just want to say, as promised, I want to check in with your 33% share.
	That's what we received in his donation.
	And artist Mark G. has contributed some great designs to the shop, and so he gets a portion of that as well.
	Remember, that's what his promise was, to help the artists who create art for the shop stuff.
	That's good.
	Sounds good.
	Yeah.
	Robert Blank Shane in Lyle, Illinois, 100.
	And he's got a red note here, so he's got, in the morning, gents, I hope this donation, blah, blah, blah.

	Yeah.
	Paul Shavati in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
	Boobs.
	8008.
	Sir Herb Lamb in Sugar Hill, Georgia.

	Mark Carter in Moreno Valley, California.
	You didn't put an Easter egg boobs in there?
	No.
	It's catching on.
	You should do it.
	You know, actually, there was no boob picture.
	Oh.
	So we got a dog.
	Instead of that, we got a dog.
	Well, the dog, yeah.
	The dog wasn't my best dog.
	It was a bad dog.
	Mark Carter, Moreno Valley, California.
	Boobs, he wants it with Jobs Karma.
	We'll give it to him at the end.

	What a great list.
	Yeah, it was good.
	I feel good about the work we put in.
	It's fantastic.
	Of course, we thank everyone who came in under $50, typically for reasons of anonymity, but there's a lot of subscriptions in there.
	I encourage you to take a look at that, certainly because we have another show coming up on Sunday, and I'm sure it will not be much shorter than today's because we've got a lot of stuff to wrap up.
	Let's see, and we needed a karma, right?
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Oh, no, I can't.
	Well, it could be real quick today.
	There's only one on the list, and it's from Carl Herberger, who says happy birthday to his beautiful wife, Jen Santoro.
	She turns 47 years old on July 30th, and we say happy birthday to you as well.
	Okay, so we have one, two, three, four nightings today, which is beautiful.
	I'm going to grab my sword here, if you can grab yours.
	Let me get it out of here.
	There we go.
	Yeah, okay, good.

	And Eric, the show will get those out to you as soon as well.
	Again, thank you, everybody, for your support.
	This is great.
	Make me feel good, for sure.
	Now, in the Democrat platform document, they have many different planks, as they're called, planks, as do the Republicans.
	And the Republicans have a plank that states that pornography should be deemed a public health crisis, which I heard many newscasters just laughing about.
	Ha ha!
	Stupid.
	And I know where they're going, like puritanical, like only missionary style.
	These guys are so stupid.
	What's wrong with porn?
	It's great!
	And I said, based upon information I've received from older women, not older, but middle-aged who have been dating younger men, they have identified very clearly that the sexual conduct of young men today is rough.
	Essentially...
	Twisted by porn.
	Yeah.
	So I received a lot of messages from women and from young women, older women, and I'm just going to give you a couple of...
	Of observations.
	And then one of our producers, Carly, she actually wrote something so funny that I have to read it verbatim.
	If you have children around, you may not want them to listen to this because I'm going to read it verbatim.
	But in general, women are noticing, young men, pulling hair hard.
	Not just like, you know, grabbing on, you know, passion.
	No, pulling hair hard.
	Biting.
	Spitting in your mouth.
	Leaving marks.
	This is a common one.
	Constantly wanting to videotape having sex.
	Whoa!
	Yes, this is a big one.
	Constantly obsessed with it.
	Now, I'm going to read to you Carly...
	And again, if you're offended by sexual words in the words that people, in the language that people use, then tune out or don't listen or whatever.
	I have to read it.
	I look much younger than I am, and this actually causes me some grief.
	When I relented and finally dated a man, much to my junior, because those are the only men that ask me out, I thought he was going to beat me up!
	LOL. This dude was actually a kind person, but was over-porned with little actual relationship experience, in all caps.
	Stop coming in my eyes, dude!
	They think this is what women want.
	Oh, and hide your asshole.
	Everybody's clamoring for it like it's the last chopper out of Nam.
	I grew up with Top Gun and men who wore aftershave and would play sugar walls while they lovingly seduced you.
	I was not ready for the porn generation.
	Also, I've deduced that these young guys, all with their tiny touches of autism, are repulsed by the texture, smell, and viscosity of sex.
	Something that bothered no boy when I was young.
	Now one must be smooth like a dolphin for this crowd, and if fluid is involved, it must be spewing out of you like a whale's blowhole to match their squirting collection.
	This is sad, John.
	This is interesting.
	It is sad.
	It is a health crisis.
	And I talked to Christina about it.
	She said, oh, absolutely.
	She said, well, what do you do about it?
	She said, you can do it just one by one.
	She said, someone who's all crazy, you've got to sit them down and say, look, this is why it's not okay.
	Here's how it's done.
	It's not like your porn.
	It's not like, you know, this is different.
	But it is a, I deem this to be, if you want to talk about being great for women, we need to bring this up.
	We need to, you know, this needs to be addressed.
	You can't get rid of it.
	You know, there's no way.
	Yeah, this hardly seems like a pro-woman thing that we're hearing from Hillary.
	The Democrats, you're right, they're the ones that probably ridiculed that.
	They should actually have this as one of their planks in the platform.
	Because it is entirely unfriendly towards women.
	I mean, it's hostile.
	What is this videotaping?
	It's hostile.
	Every woman will say, without a doubt.
	That's because every woman's a whore, apparently.
	And all these young guys, they all want to ejaculate on your face.
	I mean, because that's what it is.
	That's how porn ends.
	Ask them out, ejaculate, boom, we're done.
	That's not real!
	This is very disturbing to me.
	Yeah, that's bad.
	And there you go.
	Another highlight.
	Another highlight of the No Agenda show.
	You only hear it here, by the way.
	No, you will not hear this anywhere else.
	We could not do, I want to remind, I can't remind people enough.
	We, half the stuff we talk about on this show, if it wasn't listener-supported, producer-supported, we couldn't do it all.
	We would be out of a job.
	Yeah.
	We would not be working right now.
	Anywhere.
	And it would be hard-pressed to get another job because we'd be blackballed.
	Yeah, you're contaminated.
	We've actually put ourselves in a position where we need public support probably now for the rest of our lives, our working lives.
	It's sad, but it's true.
	Hey, man, did you write this newsletter?
	You're not writing any more columns for us.
	Yeah, that sort of thing.
	It's ridiculous.
	And I would love to hear about young women, if there's a twisted sense of sexual relations with them as well.
	I did not get anything regarding that.
	But, you know, I would say arguably most porn, and it's all categorized, and you can drill down to, you want something crazy, and of course we know you put Tumblr after it, you can find it.
	Oh yeah.
	Tumblr.com at the end of the search and you're going to see the worst stuff you can imagine.
	I'm sad.
	I'm sad for the young women who probably don't know any better.
	I mean, parents have talks with their kids about sex, but not about, they're probably unaware of this, but you need to sit your kids down and talk about it.
	Your boys especially, you need to sit them down and talk about this.
	Something must be done with it.
	You can't do it at a federal government level.
	I'm very concerned.
	Christina's smart and wise and she figured it all out.
	But when you're like 19, 20, this can be very confusing.
	I don't like it.
	I don't like it.
	It's probably why it's turning a lot of pretty young women into lesbians.
	Quite possibly, you know, Christina, who is non-binary, or gender-fluid, or whatever you want to call it, she says, that's really why I don't like guys so much, because it takes so much effort to say, no, this is not okay.
	You've got to shame them and all this.
	It's a lot of work.
	Lesbians are easier.
	I agree.
	I love that.
	I'm just, you know, there's a trend.
	Yeah.
	And it probably has to do with porn.
	Which, by the way, was really...
	Let's talk about the origins of modern porn.
	Bill Clinton.
	Thank you.
	He's the one that made it okay for blowjobs.
	No, well, that's one thing.
	That's actually a plus.
	As long as there's steak with it.
	But there was a number of pornographic laws that were in play that prevented...
	And I was...
	I can...
	When I did my first telecommunications book, which was in the 80s, we discussed a lot of the BBS sites, and there was a lot of underground BBS-ing going on with porn.
	Hell yeah.
	And it was rather mild porn compared to what you see today.
	I remember on a 9600 baud modem, it took an hour to bring in a one megabyte GIF of porn.
	Now, the porn back then was very illegal for the most part.
	And I actually knew a guy who was a porn guy.
	I didn't know he had two or three sites because he had some bestiality sites and a whole bunch of other stuff, which you can easily find if you want to find it today, just with a Google search.
	And I still have issues with the idea of, which is passed around too, which is kiddie porn, which is on a site.
	And a bunch of guys will download it and the feds will go after them for kiddie porn.
	That's still illegal.
	But what about these sites that are hosting it?
	All these hosting sites that host pictures.
	They should all be busted up.
	Well, they have free reign under the Digital Copyright Millennium Act where they're free.
	Not for kiddie porn.
	I don't believe that's...
	No, I know.
	It's not possible.
	They can hide behind a lot with that.
	Let's put it that way.
	Clinton is the one who saw...
	Pretty much cut it loose.
	I remember when it happened because I was involved in the BBS scene.
	I knew some of these porn guys.
	I wrote a big book on it.
	Not on porn, but on telecommunications.
	And I remember when Clinton did it.
	And everyone was, oh great, Clinton lifted the...
	And there was still some individual states that would sue some of these guys.
	And you couldn't get into that state, which was questionable because you could call in from anywhere.
	The BBS were all dial-up.
	Individual dial-up to the BBS, which is an old idea that's now gone.
	Point to point.
	And it was Clinton.
	I remember when it happened.
	I was watching.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm strongly in favor of our protection under the First Amendment.
	So you cannot stop that, in my view.
	It's all free speech, whether you like it or not.
	Of course, there's some legalities, but in general, it's free speech.
	This is a parental issue, which if you listen carefully to Michelle Obama, the government needs to do that.
	They need to raise your child.
	You heard her say that.
	Yes.
	The government needs to give you better child care while you're young, and so you can be maligned.
	Well, I don't care who does it, but someone has to talk to these kids about it.
	That's the health crisis.
	I agree.
	All right.
	So talking about health crisis, let's go to another health crisis.
	And this is the promotion for The Bachelor, the latest episode coming up.
	And I do have an ISO, so I want you to play the promotion clip.
	And then the ISO, I'm sure you can find some evergreen uses for this clip.
	Back now with The Bachelorette.
	It is decision time for JoJo.
	And they're telling all after last night's explosive episode.
	What happens when JoJo takes the hot seat?
	ABC's Abby Brudeau has more.
	Oh no.
	I don't know.
	What do I do?
	Now, that's a bachelorette, and this is what she has to deal with, and she's upset.
	And this, by the way, is the phoniest sounding crying ever, but I thought as an ISO, it's dynamite.
	Yeah, I would make a combo out of it.
	I'd do something like...
	Oh, no.
	I don't know.
	What do I do?
	Get out of my vagina!
	I thought that might be a perfect combo.
	As we finish our porn segment.
	Generation porn.
	Thank you very much.
	Well, let's go over to something a lot more fun.
	Let's talk about terror in France.
	Two more people have been arrested in connection with the truck attacker in Nice.
	Sources close to the investigation told Reuters news agency the new arrests took place in the French Riviera City.
	According to the source, their photos were found on the suspected attacker's mobile phone.
	Five more suspected accomplices are already in custody under formal investigation.
	Authorities say there is no evidence the 31-year-old man who drove a truck into a Bastille Day crowd, killing 84 people, had any links with ISIL. The militant group claimed responsibility two days after the attack.
	I play this report because it is very contradictory.
	We have five people in custody, two more we've arrested, but whatever you think, it's not ISIL. I also owe you
	this truth.
	I owe you this truth.
	This war will be long.
	It is our democracy that is being targeted.
	It is the bullseye, and it will be our shield.
	It is our unity that makes us strong.
	So French men and women, let us form a blockade.
	That is how we will win the war against hate and zealotry.
	After meeting the President and France's Interior Minister in Paris, the Archbishop of Rouen, Dominique Le Brun, spoke of the difficulty of observing Christian teachings in the face of such brutality.
	They say to love, and I say, love your enemies and even pray for them.
	But when I read that sentence, I say, love your enemies?
	Is it possible?
	I will try.
	At least I will pray for them.
	Wow, even the clergy is having a problem following the word of God.
	Yeah, you should turn the other cheek and just shut up.
	And I think that we saw Erdogan, and of course, we still have the base with intermittent power, our Incirlik base.
	We have now a guy being fingered, so to speak, by Erdogan as the guy who was behind the failed coup, the former U.S. NATO commander, Campbell.
	Which is kind of the way the spook world works.
	You know, throw some old guy out there and he can deny it and it kind of goes on.
	I'm now more convinced than ever that the U.S. was behind this as a warning shot.
	And it looks like Erdogan retaliated.
	A huge trap.
	A truck bomb exploded near a Kurdish security forces headquarters on Wednesday in the Syrian city of Kamishli in Hasaka province.
	Scores of people were killed in the blast, which was so powerful that witnesses said it shattered windows across the Turkish border.
	The group calling itself Islamic State or ISIL said it was responsible for the explosion that had targeted Kurdish forces.
	The Kurds control much of Hasakah province after capturing it from ISIL fighters last year.
	It's not the first time the militant group has targeted the area.
	A suicide blast killed six members of the Kurdish security forces in April.
	And in July, an ISIL suicide bomb killed at least 16 people in Hasakah.
	The Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Unit is involved in a US-backed offensive that has advanced against ISIL further west near the Turkish border.
	I want to mention something.
	I had this similar clip, but it's from a different source.
	And the other source mentioned that this bomb was not like some normal little...
	Yeah, that's what he says.
	It rattled...
	No, it leveled an entire district.
	Yeah, it's a real bomb.
	Yeah.
	It's not just some jihadi who popped himself off.
	This was a big deal.
	It's a truck.
	It's huge.
	huge.
	In Germany, Etrian refugee rapes pensioner when she's visiting her sister's grave.
	German authorities find weapons of war near the mosque.
	Big alert this weekend in the Netherlands for the Caribbean festival.
	The BND, the German intelligence, told the Dutch intelligence that they expect something to go off.
	Christina lives in Rotterdam, and I immediately said, tell your friends, don't go.
	But she said, oh, we're all waiting for it.
	I said, what do you mean?
	Well, because, you know, Rotterdam is so filled with so many Moroccans, many other Muslim immigrants, and, you know, they haven't had any shit go down.
	She said, it's about time.
	Everyone's waiting.
	I said, that's how you guys think?
	She said, yeah.
	What else are you going to do?
	Sad.
	And then we have Angela Merkel saying she refuses to change her immigration policy.
	So it will be an interesting election coming up.
	Well, I have the clip from DW, I have to figure out where it is, about the suicide bomb that went off in Germany.
	And this was causing a huge problem for Bavaria suicide bomber.
	Yeah, what I heard...
	There's a base nearby and the intent was possibly to strike U.S. civilians or military personnel.
	I'm Brent Goff.
	It's good to have you with us.
	Tonight, Germany is coming to terms with terrorism that is happening at home and on a regular basis.
	On Sunday, a refugee blew himself up at a music festival in Bavaria, the first ever suicide bombing in the country.
	Well, now IS is hailing the bomber as one of its soldiers.
	German investigators say that they have seen a video in which the man vowed allegiance to IS before blowing himself up.
	Okay, I didn't even know about that one.
	Well, there's a bunch of them that happened during the Democratic Convention.
	There was a whole bunch of stuff.
	I mean, my favorite one is the priest who had his throat cut at the altar.
	And that brought some very interesting coverage.
	If you want to play these clips, I have Butchered Priest RT, which is probably the most accurate report.
	The latest tragedy to hit France less than two weeks after a truck was used as a weapon in Nice to kill dozens and injure hundreds unraveled here.
	Except now it was two men and just two knives who made an 85-year-old Christian priest who served the small local community the face of this latest chilling tragedy, sending France back into shock.
	In the Normandy murder, a 19-year-old who had attempted to reach Syria to fight alongside ISIS and spent a year behind bars in France still outsmarted those running a country in a state of emergency, despite being monitored on a daily basis.
	And even more frighteningly, he's not alone.
	Europol officials warn of thousands of so-called foreign fighters having fought alongside Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, a third of them estimated to now be back in the EU. Hundreds, officials say, are potential terrorists.
	You know, we've gotten to the point with this kind of coverage where it's like automobile accidents.
	You don't hear about automobile accidents every day.
	It's just not important anymore.
	But they're still at least giving us some coverage.
	The thing that bothers me about this particular event, which I think took place the day before yesterday, was the way they described it.
	They won't talk about...
	RT did.
	I didn't...
	Cut the whole thing, but most of the outlets will not talk about the fact that this priest was put on his knees and then had his throat cut in front of the other hostages.
	Throat cut.
	But does anybody mention that?
	Listen, play this clip.
	This is a local coverage clip.
	It says local coverage.
	New this morning, there are several developments to bring you regarding today's deadly attack at a church near the French city of Normandy.
	One person is now in custody in connection to that assault.
	Two men armed with knives entered a church during morning mass and stabbed to death an 86-year-old priest, then took two nuns and two worshippers hostage.
	One of the hostages was critically injured.
	Man, it's unbelievable.
	I'll give you a borderliner for that, for what it didn't have.
	Borderline for what wasn't in it.
	The stabbing is not what happened.
	It was having a throat cut, which is a very symbolic gesture on the part of these Muslim terrorists.
	It was perhaps a full beheading.
	I don't even know.
	Well, I think it was just a throat cut, but whatever.
	I figure, well, the network news guys, they'll do a better job.
	They won't be soft-pedaling the story to the stupid American public, the folks.
	So here's ABC's report.
	ABC, don't tell me.
	Move on to other news tonight and to a major headline overseas.
	New and chilling images of that terror attack on a church in France.
	An elderly priest brutally murdered.
	Tonight, heavily armed police standing guard outside that church.
	ISIS taking responsibility.
	And this evening, Pope Francis is now saying, this is war.
	Here's ABC's Alex Markle.
	What?
	Police moving in on the church, shields up, the two attackers inside with the hostages, using them to block the door.
	One hostage is seen being led to safety.
	Moments later, the killers running out, shot down by the police.
	The attackers had made the priest kneel, one of the hostages said, and performed a kind of sermon before stabbing him to death.
	Tonight, ISIS released video of the two teen...
	Oh, man.
	Again, stabbing.
	That's interesting.
	I thought it was very interesting.
	I found this everywhere.
	There were some outlets that discussed it, especially when the story first came out.
	Then it was repressed.
	First came out as he had his throat cut, which is what you'd expect if you follow this at all.
	And we do.
	Or that or beheaded.
	But it was throat cut.
	Because that's a symbol, you know, it's a very Arabian kind of thing.
	And then everyone's reporting stabbing.
	It's not the same.
	You're not stabbing the guy at all.
	Less than ten minutes to go.
	Okay?
	Now, I did get one clip I thought was interesting because it's something we've discussed.
	It hasn't been discussed much anywhere, which is the idea that the ISIS people are going to target the criminally insane.
	Yes, we played the clip where...
	Who said that?
	Yeah.
	We played a clip of that.
	Before Nice, it was mentally...
	I have it here.
	Great if you could find it.
	It was the Undersecretary of Public Affairs, Richard Stengel, And here it is.
	I think now, because the digital caliphate is shrinking, they are looking for people who have mental health issues, who are psychotic, and they're trying to pinpoint those.
	And that was before Nice happened.
	Right, and so we have now Deutsche Welle.
	This clip is called Mental Health.
	Deutsche Welle is discussing it openly.
	Our media is not discussing this.
	You pulled that down from some hearing.
	Yes.
	Yeah, it was, I think, some panel he was on.
	And that was the case here.
	The blurring of those categories definitely implies different sorts of action.
	If you think this is mostly about mental illness, you're going to take different steps than if you simply put the stamp of terrorism on it.
	It is interesting because here, and actually across most of Europe, the talk has been about increased security, increased checks on refugees, but we really haven't heard anyone talking about better mental health care for the people who do arrive.
	We've talked a lot about the need to integrate those many, many migrants who came last year, a million people entering Germany.
	Very difficult to process their applications, let alone give them the kind of services that they required.
	And clearly, mental health treatment for people coming from war-torn countries traumatized people, young men who are in their prime, who want to work, perhaps can't work for a long, long time.
	All of that is an explosive mixture.
	So mental health is a big issue going forward.
	Yeah.
	At least they got the right idea.
	Yeah, well, the message went out.
	Everybody understood it.
	Makes total sense.
	Jeez.
	And that's the way you do it.
	Are you done with...
	I think so.
	Yeah, but I had just one more thing just to show you how screwed we are.
	You know when Canada is really shutting down free speech?
	Because, you know, Canada's supposed to be fantastic.
	By the way, that's where everyone's going to go if Trump becomes president.
	Canada, you're getting all our obots.
	That might be a good thing.
	This happens in Canada.
	Comedian Mike Ward has been ordered by the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal to pay $35,000 to Jeremy Gabriel for joking about the singer's disability.
	The tribunal also ruled today that Ward must pay $7,000 to Gabriel's mother.
	Max, it's a case that pits freedom of expression against the right to be free from discrimination.
	And Paul, you know, both of those rights are indeed guaranteed in our Charters of Rights and Freedoms, but for comedians, their ability to say anything and target anyone has always been considered sacred.
	Now, the ruling today is a win for Jérémie Gabriel, a young man who sang for the Pope when he was a child, and he has performed with Céline Dion.
	He has Treacher-Collins Syndrome, a condition that affects the development of bones and facial tissues.
	For three years, comedian Mike Ward made fun of Gabriel in a bit he repeated 230 times, joking that Gabriel was a bad singer, but adding that it was okay because he was dying.
	Although, actually, the condition is not fatal if properly managed.
	Today, the Human Rights Tribunal ruled that Ward's Comedy Act violated Gabriel's right to dignity, honor, and his reputation.
	His lawyer said it led to bullying in school.
	Ward said Gabriel was a public figure and, as such, open to satire.
	Now, anyone who's been to a comedy show knows comedians take no prisoners.
	It's often considered one of the defining characteristics of a society's free speech.
	Yeah, you can say goodbye to it.
	He's appealing, of course.
	But could that really happen?
	That could really happen.
	That is just...
	I used to write for a couple of different Canadian publications, actually.
	And one time I wrote some screed about Microsoft being a horrible monopolist.
	And the editor called and said, you can't say this, it's illegal.
	And I said, what?
	He says, you can't call someone a monopolist.
	Huh.
	And I said, why?
	He says, the way the law is written, for one thing, it's a crime in Canada to be a monopolist, and even though they're not pure monopolists, you're accusing them of being criminals.
	Huh.
	So they had to pull, I had to rewrite that part.
	Right, right.
	But that's...
	That caught me off guard.
	Yeah.
	I can imagine.
	Okay, I think our ten minutes is up.
	I think we should shut down for now because I have tons.
	We could go on forever if we wanted to, but I don't think that's a good idea.
	Yeah, we'll go on forever on Sunday.
	Yeah, we will.
	We love the support.
	Yes.
	Yeah, the support is fantastic.
	And that's what we look for all the time.
	Because it does value out the lack of sleep.
	This was a terrible week.
	We've got some more stuff to listen to.
	The show today, the DNC show, it'll start late again.
	They're late every time.
	They can't show up on time.
	It's in the afternoon at 4.
	I guess they're just a bunch of drunks.
	I'm not absolutely sure what's causing this.
	But they will come on.
	They were going to get to hear Hillary.
	And I'm looking forward to it.
	I think it'll be very interesting to see how she handles this.
	I'm going to try.
	I'm going to have one of those little clickers, those counter things.
	I got one.
	I'll have to go get it out of the car.
	And I'm going to count how many times she takes her hand.
	And points the fingers toward the audience in a closed hand, pointing to the artist vertical and stabs, stabs, stabs the audience with her hand.
	Stab, she'll stab it.
	Outstanding.
	Remember everybody, civil war is imminent.
	Do not engage.
	Yes.
	It's not worth it.
	It's our advice.
	Coming to you from the Crackpot Condo in downtown Austin Tejas in the skyscraper, FEMA Region 6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley.
	Without a quip, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos.
	Beat Donald Trump.
	It'll be Donald Trump.
	What's up, what's up.
	What's up, what's what's up.
	What's up, what's what's up.
	What's up, what's up.
	Under my Sharia law, we're going to blow up Paris, France.
	Under my Sharia law, there's only one thing that we want more, to rape a load of Swedish blonde-haired whores, under my Sharia law.
	Alla Hatsang!
	That democracy doesn't work if we constantly demonize each other.
	Donate to a no agenda.
	They give us shows week after week.
	Donate to a no agenda.
	It's a show that's really unique.
	Donate to a no agenda.
	Listen to John and Adam speak.
	Donate to a no agenda.
	Science is turning into a clique.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Did you hear it?
	Drugs from pouring into our community.
	Drugs from pouring into our drugs.
	With some authoritarian movement.
	I work with this.
	To protect the corrupt elites.
	To protect the corrupt elites.
	What is my life?
	I have read in history.
	To defeat the corrupt elites.
	To protect our blood.
	With some authoritarian movement.
	From David Duke.
	To protect the corrupt elites.
	And some murderers reported.
	And I said tonight.
	And it was Donald Duke.
	And wonder.
	I waited night.
	And it was this.
	To protect the corrupt elites.
	To protect our blood.
	To protect the corrupt elites.
	This divide is a country.
	You're spotted by this.
	Or you're cured by this.
	You're cured by this.
	Or you're cured by this.
	Love. Love.
	From bring in.

	This way.
	As the secretary said earlier today though.
	And I think it's an important reminder.
	You're playing the Pokemon thing right there.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	People in this hall.
	See him as a man on a white horse.
	Very dark.
	They will tell me.
	They're pushing the candidate of death, destruction, terror, and mass flawless.
	Very dark.
	We'll be right back.
	It's time to deliver a victory for the American people.
	Great talk.
	We must break free from the petty politics of the past.
	Great talk.
	Great Trump speech, America first, stop wars, defeat the corrupt elites, protect our borders, fair trade, reform.
	Couldn't have said it better.
	I actually, I've never felt this way in my life.
	It's going to be fun.
	I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
	A lot more celebrities, a lot more Hollywood.
	Boo-tack!
	Adios, mofo.
	The best podcast in the universe!
