Is that Hillary is the one more likely to get us all killed.
Easily!
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, August 4th, 2016.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 848.
This is No Agenda.
Back from the woods and still freaked out about the upside down.
And broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State here in Austin, Tejas, FEMA Region 6.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I see a tease coming.
And by the way, I'm responsible for the lateness.
I'm John C. DeVos.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Now you're not responsible.
A power outage is not your responsibility.
Did you flip the trailer?
Yeah.
No, I did not flip the trailer.
That was a subtle reference to Stranger Things, which you probably haven't seen yet.
Very subtle, because I still don't get it.
You have to unsubtle it one more degree.
Well, the series, Stranger Things, which I told you was good.
Oh, right.
Stranger Things is your favorite thing.
Yeah.
Okay, so if you watch that, then you'll understand.
Oh, I haven't watched it yet.
Though I did not flip the trailer, no.
No, no, did not happen at all.
Good.
Oh, man.
Well, I'm tired.
I gotta tell you, I'm just so tired of...
I mean, has the United States media, of course, copied endlessly by media around the world?
I mean, did they get the memo somehow?
It's like, we don't care what you do.
You must take Donald Trump out.
We don't care how you do it.
I think there's even a prize.
Like, whoever takes Trump out with their story gets a Fiat 500 or something.
It's nuts.
That would be about a level of the brine.
And a Bart.
It would be a nice Fiat 500.
It's just been incredible.
And I was thinking last night, you know, we're going to ride this until the election day.
And which, you know, the question is if Trump will even make election day.
What I'm seeing now, the crap I'm seeing, the elites all over, Whether they're Democrats, Republicans, or just rich a-holes, they really, really...
Oh, you mean Meg Whitman?
They really, really don't want him to win.
And, you know, it's like, my God.
You know, I'll just set this up because I read something about this company...
You probably heard about this.
A lot of people tweeted it.
4chan apparently had a thread, which you can find it everywhere online, that was from a supposed FBI informant.
And I don't put a lot of stock into 4chan, although the anonymity of it is the place to go if you want to do something like that.
But he started posting things on 4chan before Comey came out with this recommendation not to prosecute.
And this FBI agent had said, oh, we're not going to prosecute.
It's not going to happen.
Comey does not want...
I'm just reiterating what this so-called FBI informant said.
Comey does not want to get in front of the Clintons and probably hundreds...
He said hundreds of other high-level government officials...
Because the real deal, what's going on at the FBI, is the Clinton Foundation.
Apparently, the Clinton Foundation also involved in the gun running in Libya with Benghazi.
Apparently, there was an email server there and there were Clinton Foundation documents found on it.
And the FBI is, according to this informant, just laying low.
They hope Trump gets elected because then everyone's going to jail.
If not, forget about it.
We're doomed forever.
And, you know, if you look at what's happening right now, you gotta think...
There might be some truth to it.
The Clinton Foundation, it's so deep and so many ties, and look at the way people are responding.
What are they so afraid of?
Do you think these people who are so hell-bent on convincing us Donald Trump is a Manchurian candidate, that he has Alzheimer's, he's just completely nuts, do you think that they're doing that just because they don't want him to win, or is it something about their own hide?
I have no idea.
You're asking me the question that's unanswerable at the moment.
I do know this.
When you take a look at what, for example, and the worst of the group, I mean, I was studying the compare, I'm back by 3x3, or 4x4, whatever it was.
Well, no, it's 3x3, but if you're doing 3x3s, then I think we should, yes, hold on a second, here we go.
And now it's time for 3x3, Experiment by JCG, Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC, The never-ending 3x3, bum, bum, bum.
3x3!
John C. Dvorak watches three networks for you in three days' time, and it's lasted about 20 months.
Here we go!
Well, ABC has kind of backed off a little bit.
They're kind of, as I mentioned before, they seem to be kind of pro-Trump, but they don't get carried away about it.
CBS is, you know, they're just with the CIA. They bring up the issue now that's been showing up on the crackpot sites, where it looks as if the FBI has joined forces with the NSA in a battle against the CIA with one side for Trump and one side for Hillary, the CIA being the I'm really the dominant player.
Which is a thesis we've had for years, that there is a large strife between the intelligence agencies.
And remember...
For money.
Oh yeah.
Always for budget.
And you'll recall when the Orlando shooting took place, everybody was excoriating the FBI, and Trump came out and said, well, you know, the FBI had a bad day.
Yeah, because they had watched this guy, they had him on their watch list, they followed him around, they talked to him, and then they let him go.
And everyone was like, holy crap, what a gaffe!
And Trump says, eh, they had a bad day.
You know, the same thing that you mentioned, I forgot about that, but you're right.
But that's also what's going on with slamming the FBI over this new character, Oh, the cop?
The cop, which I have a clip of, which is funny, but we'll play that later.
I want to get to this first, which is NBC. They got rid of Katie.
I'm not sure this is permanent, but Katie Turr is not covering Trump.
No, she is, but she's doing it more for MSNBC. That's where I see her popping up all the time.
Oh, this other new girl, who's actually quite pretty, is doing it now.
And this is a report from her, and this is, and of course this could be the substitutes because it's Savannah Guthrie, who is really a bad anchor.
She's just a bad anchor.
But, but, but, but she's so pretty.
Who cares?
And not pretty.
Yeah.
At the same time, it's beautiful.
She's lost her upper lip.
Somebody came and said, look, you're going to do it this way, and then they cut off her upper lip.
That's the only thing that could possibly be the reason she has no upper lip whatsoever.
Why did they chop off her upper lip?
That's so mean.
Yeah, very mean.
So she comes on with this report, starting with, you know, again, it just starts with a slam against Trump, and it goes and gets worse.
And so they do a report, and this new woman, whose name eludes me, but she's on the clip, she...
And an unnamed Republican and an unnamed Republican.
She never names anybody.
It's all the same guy that they're all reporting on, I think.
And then when they bring up the people they're supposedly taking clips from, they take one word.
I mean, anyone who talks for more than five minutes, you can take a word out of what they said.
I have a deconstruction on this in a moment for you.
Okay, well, let's play this and listen to the bullshit.
And I can tell you, because the one thing, they do take a word, they take Newt Gingrich's...
One word he said, unacceptable.
It wasn't about anything.
No, just take a word and drop it in.
It's unacceptable.
That's what he said about Trump.
Just drop it in anywhere.
I happen to have heard Newt Gingrich after this report was done, and he is just the same Newt Gingrich as he's always been.
And there's no, you know, he's not turning on Trump.
They make it sound like that on this clip.
But let's play this clip.
And this is the kind of reporting you get from NBC. This is the network.
And it's just dreadful.
Good evening, Savannah.
Donald Trump has never had a two-day period like this.
And what happens in the next three days, how he acts at rallies like this one, will determine whether his campaign recovers or whether some Republicans say goodbye for good.
Publicly, everything's fine.
The campaign is doing really well.
It's never been so well united.
Privately.
Anything but.
Multiple high-level GOP sources telling NBC News tonight of a possible intervention with top Trump supporters like Rudy Giuliani.
Real and overdue, says one source familiar with the plan, as they try to get the Trump train back on track.
Currently in, quote, crazy town, as a top Republican tells NBC. Even ally Newt Gingrich calling his candidate unacceptable right now.
President George W. Bush.
Taking aim at his isolationism.
Trump's team insists there's no intervention, no problem.
First of all, the candidate is in control of his campaign.
The Clinton machine may not like it, but we're prepared for the fight.
The fight now, inside his own party, after Trump's refusal to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan, RNC Chair Reince Priebus, apoplectic, even Mike Pence splitting with his running mate.
We strongly support Paul Ryan, strongly endorse his re-election.
He's a long-time friend.
The deep anxiety in some conservative circles partly fueled by this question.
Could you trust Trump with the nation's nuclear codes?
Well, I'm glad that's a perfect lead-in to the clip that I'm going to play.
It was like a manic report.
It was crazy.
Well, and this is what's so interesting, is it was like, it was really like a memo went out, and the memo definitely went out, and we'll talk about the gold star father, Mr.
Khan, the Wrath of Khan on Abdondra, who was on almost every single news network to discuss his plight.
But the nuclear codes thing, which we've been looking at for a long time, and of course it started off as he's got his hand on the button, then they realize, wow, that's an arachnism.
That's like, I don't know, 30 years old.
He's got his finger on the nuclear codes.
It's crap like this.
And Mourning Joe, which is Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who, by the way, I think they are romantically involved now, those two.
You do?
Yeah, because they both divorced their spouses of 20-plus years, quietly, and the rumor from the set and from the crew is that they are doing the nasty.
And all in for Hillary.
Morning Joe used to be kind of like Trump, and that's gone away as he sets up something with no one less than Michael Hayden, former NSA CIA director, Yeah, there's a trustworthy guy.
But he's just there for color.
It's even better.
And this went, this turned into a story, and I'll explain the subtlety of what changed in the story, but this is the genesis of crazy Trump with his finger on the nuclear codes.
Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump.
And three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons.
Three times he asked, at one point, if we have them, why can't we use them?
That's one of the reasons why he just doesn't have foreign policy experts around.
Trump asked three times.
Three times in an hour briefings.
Now, they're going to bring Hayden in in a moment, but mind you, this is Joe Scarborough saying he spoke to an unnamed strategy.
So a guy from a think tank.
Who sat with Trump.
This is not a security briefing, but he brings in the briefing word in a moment, and that story turned into, during a security briefing, Trump asked three times about the use of nuclear weapons, which is just factually not true.
It was not a security briefing, and it's an unnamed strategy guy from a think tank, and it comes from Joe Scarborough.
But the story changed into, oh, he got a security briefing and he's crazy, he's insane!
Let's bring in Michael Hayden.
Why can't we use nuclear weapons?
What's that?
Be careful, America, and be careful, Republican leaders.
Be careful, America!
Be careful, Republican leaders!
So, General Hayden...
Your party is blowing up.
Your country is blowing up?
I want to ask...
You talk to your dad, you elitist...
I want to ask one more time, and it may be classified.
Donald Trump decides to use a nuclear weapon.
What is the timeframe between his decision and when the nuclear weapons are launched?
Joe, it's scenario-dependent, but the system is designed for speed and decisiveness.
It's not designed to debate the decision.
Perfect setup, and Hayden knew the question was coming, just basing that on his answer.
Yeah, he just did it out of the park.
Yeah, they went a little further with him.
I have another clip here.
I'm just curious.
I have a lot of people that are starting to ask me these days.
Okay, so Donald Trump...
He may not be the most stable guy in the world, but there certainly are enough checks and balances.
So if he gets angry, he can't launch a nuclear weapon.
Could you walk us through that?
What safeguards are there to stop, let's just say, any president who may not be stable from launching a nuclear attack?
All right, let's just reframe that for a moment.
What?
What, Mr.
CIA? What happens when we have a president who's unstable with his hand on the nuclear codes?
How can we stop the maniac?
Well, Joe, the commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief.
The Constitution, Article 2, puts great power in the executive.
I mean, the founders knew that national defense required authority, direction, agility, and speed.
So there's an awful lot of authority in the office.
And the armed forces give a great deal of deference, just culturally, to their civilian leadership.
And they certainly have to, and that's the way it has to be.
What are you saying?
The military always, always defers to civilian leadership.
But in this case...
Is there a safeguard to stop between a president who is unfit to be commander in chief and the final person that presses the code and launches the nuclear weapons against the country that...
Now we're pressing the code.
The metaphors are completely fucked with these people.
...has angered the commander in chief.
Joe, that chain of command was built for speed and decisiveness, and so let me default to a concern that General John Allen raised several days ago.
And I want to mention, so he gave the answer earlier, and they just come back after a break or two and just repeat the whole thing.
It's beautifully designed.
It sounds like it's the same discussion.
The same buzzwords.
Yeah, but he brings in a few more.
A couple days ago, he greatly fears, and I frankly share that fear, that we are heading towards, we may be setting up the circumstances that create a crisis in civil-military relationships.
Not nuclear annihilation, but it steps far below pressing the nuclear trigger.
What happens within the armed forces when you...
I want to trigger all of I'm so confused.
It was a button.
It's a code.
It's a trigger.
He's pulling the trigger.
We fear, perhaps, these kinds of decisions for a military that does defer to civilian leadership.
What then happens?
It may actually...
It's interesting he says, what then happens?
It's almost like someone who is thinking in Dutch, where all these sentences are all reversed in the grammar.
Yeah.
Isn't that a weird...
Why do you think he says that?
What then does happen?
Instead of, what does happen then?
Or what happens then?
I don't know.
It's odd, isn't it?
That's actually something we should consider.
Because he's done this before.
Decisions for a military that does defer to civilian leadership.
What then happens?
It may actually strain and test the fabric of our...
Hold on a second.
Stop.
He also used does defer instead of defer.
Like a military that does defer, as opposed to a military deferring that defers.
There's some NLP going on here.
Seriously.
In the chat room someone said, no, this is just the results of Common Core.
I think that's also interesting.
That does defer to civilian leadership.
What then happens?
It may actually strain and test the fabric of our civilian military control.
Oh, strain and test the fabric of our civilian military control.
One more, as Morning Joe just was relentless.
Let's spin up some conspiracy theories by using the term conspiracy theory.
I think they're ruining the party.
Well, they are ruining their careers.
They are damaging the party.
And they're doing it for a guy, as we've said here time and time again, who's a Democrat for 65 years of his life.
He voted for Bill Clinton in 92.
He voted for Bill Clinton in 96.
He voted for Al Gore in 2000.
He voted for John Kerry in 2005.
He voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
In 2009, he said Hillary Clinton was a great leader, would be a great negotiator.
He gave money to Hillary Clinton three times.
He is a Democrat.
And these Republicans are sitting here.
I mean, listen, there was a conspiracy theory at the beginning of the campaign that Bill Clinton, this is true, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump spoke on the phone for a very long time before the campaign began.
And Bill Clinton encouraged him to run for president.
So, bringing back that conspiracy theory, now we have everywhere, oh, oh, oh, it sounds like maybe, just maybe, maybe Donald Trump will quit.
He's going to quit.
Everyone's saying, he's going to quit.
Looks like he's going to quit.
And this all stemmed, actually, I know the genesis of the memo, of go ahead, say whatever you want.
And it was this 26-second soundbite from our current president.
Given the Republican nominee's recent comments about the Khan family and his statement that if president, he would consider recognizing Russia's annexation of Crimea, does it make you question his fitness to be president?
It's called leading the witness, is what it's called.
His fitness.
His fitness, which would be his physical stamina, but no.
His fitness to be president.
Yes.
I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president.
I said so last week, and he keeps on proving it.
Okay.
This is a constitutional professor.
Or, as some like to say, he's a constitutional lawyer!
The only qualifications to be fit for president...
Is 42 years of age and natural born citizen.
How can the president say anyone is unfit who does not fit those two requirements?
How can he?
Yeah.
Just get something says it.
Okay, thank you.
But you have to agree with me that this is insane for him.
I mean, this is unprecedented.
No, it's pathetic.
It's unprecedented.
And I realized yesterday as I was finalizing some prep stuff, we're going to keep going on about this.
We're going to continue to deconstruct what the media is doing.
And we are going to...
Lose income because of this.
Oh, absolutely.
Because there's a bunch of...
We're fighting against a monstrous machine.
Which is unbelievable at this moment.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
No, we're taking it with the humor that it should be taken with because it's outrageous.
They have nobody.
They're not quoting anyone.
I mean, that NBC story, there was nobody they could actually get to say anything.
They took random words.
It's like those movie reviews where you just rip the movie or a book.
I've seen a book review that just ripped the book.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I was going to say, it ripped the book apart, and the author was so incensed that she dug through the review to find, like, something, one sentence, and then used that to highlight how great the book was.
It was very amusing.
Right now, it hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw Brolf Blitzer, Aaron Burnett, Everyone on CNN is adhering to the same interview format.
And it really became apparent as this father of Charles Woods, father of one of the killed State Department personnel in Benghazi.
He was doing the rounds.
And his message was very simple.
It was, Hillary Clinton told me that it was because of the movie, and that was a lie at that point, because now we know, retroactively, that she had already emailed or spoken with the president of Egypt, and said it was terrorist attack, and with her daughter, Chelsea, and before she lied to the parents and the families, and then went on at that flag, coffin flag drape ceremony, whatever you call it.
Yeah.
She made a speech where she said the same thing.
And what CNN is doing continuously, and with both, it's really the worst.
It makes no sense to play all of it because it takes forever.
And essentially, sorry, and the bottom line, or at the end of the day, They want to get one quote.
That's all they want.
They want to get one quote.
And here, I think, is Carol, the morning girl on CNN. And she has this Charles Woods on.
And all she wants him to say is, Donald Trump should apologize.
Actually, it doesn't even matter to her whether he says he should apologize or she should not apologize.
That's all they want, so that they can run that incessantly throughout the rest of the day.
And here's an example of her talking to this father.
Just asking the same question over and over again.
Do you think that Mr.
Trump should apologize to Mr.
Khan?
You know, I really don't know what's been said.
I haven't seen a TV set since last Monday or Tuesday.
Well, he has not apologized.
Camping with my daughter and taking her to...
Now, he's very clear.
He has not seen it.
Whether that's true or not doesn't matter.
He says, I haven't seen it.
I don't know what he said.
So I really can't comment on it.
Doesn't stop CNN. Taking her to a rodeo, so I'm not really sure what he said.
Well, he has not apologized.
But should Mr.
Trump apologize?
You know, like I say, I don't know what he originally said, and I don't know what he's said since then.
You know, I know who should apologize, and that would be Hillary Clinton for lying to the American families who lost their loved ones as well as to the American public.
She hasn't apologized for that yet.
In fact, she's even doubled down in public letters, which is not appropriate at all.
Because like I say, either she's lying or she has a bad memory.
And just the last question I'll ask you.
Do you wish that Mr.
Trump would stop talking about the Khans now?
You know, like I say, I haven't watched the TV set since either last Monday or Tuesday, so I'm not really sure what he's been saying.
He's continued to double down on Mr.
Khan.
You know, when Hillary Clinton on several occasions has called the Benghazi victims' families liars, should she apologize for that?
Thank you, sir, for your time this morning.
I do appreciate you stopping by.
Thank you.
Wow.
Yeah, didn't get the answer.
Thanks for stopping by.
Goodbye.
I'm not going to answer you.
Yeah, get out of here.
Now, CNN has gone completely nuts.
They are now allowing stuff on the air, which is, I believe, completely allowed on cable in almost any time slot.
But for basic cable, even on MTV, we had to be very careful of certain words.
Two examples of the new policy of what is allowed to be...
There's a pattern here.
Every time it is demonstrated that Donald Trump is plainly ignorant about some basic public policy issue, some well-known fact, he comes back with a certain bravado and tries to explain it away with a tweet or a statement.
Usually he adds that the press hates him.
But there is a term for this kind of thing.
What's that?
Apparently they do.
Well, wait until you hear what he has to say.
Indeed.
There's a term for this kind of thing.
This is the mode of a bullshit artist.
And, you know, it's sometimes amusing, it's entertaining.
I haven't done a write-up on this, but it's always been so amusing to me that Trump guy, he's a name-caller.
That idiot Trump, he's called more names than I think he's ever seen.
Well, hold on.
Here is Republican strategist Liz Mayer with Anderson Pooper.
It's amazing to me that anybody's still having a discussion about having some sort of an intervention or bringing him back on message.
I think, as Errol just said, this is his message.
His message is being a loud-mouthed dick, basically, and going out there and offending people and then engaging in a bunch of airing of grievances.
His message is being a loud-mouthed dick, basically.
That's his message.
They didn't call us, so let's call him names.
I mean, that's the funnest to me.
They had on, I have to say that David Muir was with one of the Republican, or one of the Democrat strategists, and she was saying that Trump is terrible because, and she called him some name, and then condemned, while in the process of condemning him for calling People names.
And then Muir says, aren't you calling him a name now?
It's okay.
It's when I do it, it's okay.
It's not the same problem.
So ABC, you believe, is leaning towards Trump.
Yeah.
That would make sense because they were one of the few who had any reporting on the massive firings at the DNC, which of course came on the heels of the chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigning before the convention.
And I feel that this is being underreported in general, except what I found on ABC. More heads rolling at the Democratic National Committee after the party's email was hacked.
U.S. authorities believing Russian hackers were behind it, but it's what's in those emails now leading to resignations.
Party CEO Amy Dacey is out tonight, along with the party's chief finance officer and communications director.
All three in those emails showing favoritism for Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders.
Not a lot of reporting.
Did you find a lot of that on the 3x3?
No, I found very little.
Democracy Now!
I think even didn't care.
RT is the one that had more of it.
Oh yeah, RT has had some good stuff and I can't find much fault with it.
This is kind of fun.
Now the insanity is pushed all the way down, and I believe the hosts on the news shows, they really believe what they're being told, and they believe the reporting from their own networks, and they believe.
They believe Trump is insane.
I saw one article where a guy said, it was probably Slate or something.
I said, well, you know, I think Trump has Alzheimer's, and his dad died of Alzheimer's, so it's sad.
We have to test him for Alzheimer's, because that's what's going on.
This is that theory.
Now, Joy Reid, who is the new star over at MSNBC, now, we heard very clearly in the testimony from FBI Director Jim Comey that there were 30,000 emails that Hillary Clinton had deleted, and there were snippets here and there, but that was...
Not recoverable.
That's the way you recalled his testimony?
Yeah, absolutely.
Which Donald Trump then, for reasons unbeknownst to us, and I'm going to say it again because I see it in the chat room, it's okay.
We'll go with less money and less revenue because we are doing our job and we're not here to defend anybody.
In fact, I'm going to check out of the chat room.
I can't stand it.
Oh, they're calling you a Trump lover or something?
Yeah, exactly.
You're a Trump lover!
Yeah, exactly.
So Joy Reid, and granted, the woman she has on is a nutjob.
She's, I think she's former chairwoman of the Texas Tea Party Express or something.
So she's nutty.
And she throws out the 33,000 number, which Donald Trump came up with, which we always think is obviously some kind of coded message.
Code.
Code.
But Joy Reid will have none of it.
She is, she just, it's like a wire gets crossed in her head and she believes this is made up.
Now this woman is not good at defending herself.
Oh yeah.
But wait, just listen to the whole minute as she just goes off on this lady about this being fake.
The servers are no longer hooked up and working.
I mean, if they are, they're with the FBI. And people know that they're not available to hack anymore.
I mean, it's like Donald Trump saying, oh, you know, I hope Putin goes and gets in a 1985 DeLorean and goes and finds those 33,000 emails.
I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous.
It's not like that at all.
I'll tell you what scares me.
What scares me is the fact that the emails are out there.
Stop, stop, stop.
You have to back up a little bit and keep going, but I want you to think about one thing when you listen to this insane woman blabbering.
Elizabeth Warren.
Exact same voice.
And cadence.
Right.
Although she's a Republican.
Yeah, no, but I think it's a style of chattering.
I'm not sure.
Well, I'll have to listen because the visual really ruins that illusion.
But I'll listen now and see if the cadence is there.
And gets in a 1985 DeLorean and goes...
Yeah, I hear it.
I know what you're saying.
But she has a little more irritating, like kind of a J stroke at the end of the twang.
More irritating.
So it's 33,000 emails.
I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous.
It's not like that at all.
I'll tell you what scares me.
What scares me is the fact that the emails are out there somewhere probably and that we could have a president that could be blackmailed over them.
That's what concerns me.
It's about our national security.
You can't just invent things.
You can't just invent things.
I'm not inventing anything.
You just invented an entire thing.
The FBI has already come out with a report on Hillary Clinton's emails.
What you just said was an invented thing.
There's no 33,000 emails that are going to harm our national security.
You know that there was an entire year and a half.
We're not going to relitigate that.
You can't make things up.
Not if you're going to invent things.
I'm not going to invent things, but the FBI also said that she didn't turn over all the emails.
You cannot invent things.
You're putting out incredibly inflammatory information.
No, ma'am.
No, ma'am.
You're putting on incredibly inflammatory statements.
No, ma'am.
No, ma'am.
You can't make it up.
It was all over.
Didn't she listen to Comey when he came before Congress?
I guess.
No, it wasn't Congress.
It was his statement before the press.
No, he also said the same thing.
I'm sorry, you're right.
Don't you remember?
What's his name?
The guy with the small head and the bow.
Gowdy.
Gowdy.
So, you can't make it up, ma'am.
Ma'am, are you crazy?
You can't make it up.
Wow!
I mean, this is unbelievable.
It is unprecedented.
Then there's...
CNN has...
She's either an idiot, because she never saw the hearing, or she's a liar.
I have to guess that she's an idiot.
I'm going to think she's uninformed.
Or misinformed.
Yeah, but she's in the position of the new superstar over there.
Yeah, well, that's...
That she should be on all this.
What, is she just at cocktail parties all the time?
Doesn't even read a newspaper?
I shall call her and ask her to follow up with you.
Then we have...
CNN, for some reason, has this comedian on, also in the morning.
Dean Obidale.
He's like an unfunny comedian, which is the best kind.
That's why he's on CNN. And he has...
That's crazy.
On with him, and I think it's Carroll, CNN, is Lieutenant Governor of, I think it's South Carolina, and he recalls a lot of, I certainly have some clips of this, what we now have learned about Mr.
Khan, who whipped out his constitution and schooled and slammed and hammered and skewered Donald Trump, that this guy is in the business of Arranging EB-5 visas, which requires a million dollars in investment in a company or LLC or in a business that must employ 10 full-time employees,
and then you basically can get a green card.
You can come in and then you can become a citizen.
And that's his business, is shepherding people through that process.
It's a very controversial theme, or scheme, I should say, of DHS, who really runs it.
But it is there, and of course anyone could make use of that.
And also that he worked for the law firm that donated between $10 and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation, also did their taxes.
So there's a lot going on between this gold star parent and And the Clintons.
And the Lieutenant Governor brings this up, and the comedian just, you know, he had the same Kool-Aid that Joy Reid had.
Well, as he's campaigning, he'll shift, hopefully, to other issues.
But this is an issue.
The people of America are concerned for their safety.
You know, I admire the Khan family for their sacrifice.
My family gave their life as well.
My grandfather was buried in Arlington as an admiral.
But there's a bigger problem here.
We have a problem with radical Islam.
And the...
We do engage in a discussion about how you vet people coming into this country.
Look, Mr.
Khan worked for the Clintons.
I mean, there is a direct connection and nobody wants to engage in that because of the loss of a child, which is a terrible thing.
But again, He's continuing to push this, too.
He is making it political, and there is a bigger tie to the Clintons.
He's worked for them.
He's worked with the EB-5 program, which is controversial.
Senator Grassley even pointed out there are inconsistencies and really not checks and balances in a program that's let too many folks in that were questionable individuals that probably should have never been allowed in our country.
Yeah, go ahead, Dan.
Well, I mean, this is a continued smear of the Kahn family, sir, and you should be better than that, frankly.
I'm going to be blunt with you.
You should be.
The Kahn family, Mr.
Kahn was talking about his son.
Donald Trump egged this on.
Donald Trump, the thin-skinned man.
Well, tell me what I did to smear him.
What did I say to smear him?
What was incorrect?
All Donald Trump had to do was say, like most human beings, like most Americans would say, I recognize their sacrifice.
And my sympathy and heart goes out for their family.
This is a comment I said.
Yeah, he's a comedian.
Oh, God!
I know.
I think he also heard about the Fiat 500.
He's like, oh, I can do this.
I'm a comedian.
Recognize their sacrifice.
And my sympathy and heart goes out for their family.
And I said that, but I didn't smear him anyway, but again, you're saying...
Well, you said I smeared him now.
Now you're saying I smeared him.
What does that matter?
Well, that's true.
If that's not true, then why is that smearing?
It has nothing to do with Mr.
Khan.
Mr.
Khan, the issue was...
No, the facts matter, of course, sir.
Mr.
Khan's point was his son...
Well, you just said I smeared him because I said who he worked for.
You're like, he worked for Hillary Clinton.
Like, somehow that makes him unqualified to speak about his son.
Well, if that's not...
If that is incorrect, then I'm wrong.
But correct me if I'm incorrect.
The bigger question was, is this having an impact?
Yeah, facts matter, but not to you.
Yeah, this is...
It's insane.
You want to hear people defending somebody?
This is why...
This is really defending someone who...
Facts that appear to be unbreakable, indefensible.
It's just what it is.
The problem I'm seeing is, these are great clips by the way, you've got borderline clip of the day for all of them, but what I'm noticing is that The campaign is in full swing.
So we have these guys.
Although I think Hillary has this weird tendency to kind of, and I use the word, shoot your wad early.
And she announced prematurely before anybody else by a long shot.
She lost Obama from the same reason.
Because she loses momentum.
Because all this stuff that's going on, because of the nature, the same public that is...
Hating on us for revealing the underbelly of this campaign.
Have a short memory.
And all this stuff, even though they said, well, the con thing will drag on for a while.
You still hear the drumbeat of Trump.
They're going to shoot their what?
They're not going to have anything in two months.
This is like 100 days to go, 95 days or something like that.
They're not going to have much in the last 30 days.
And that's when they're going to need it because people will forget all this.
And these guys are going to go crazy if this doesn't have a huge impact on the Trump numbers, and it's not going to, because nobody's watching the stuff you're watching.
And the Trump side has not begun their dirty tricks yet.
I don't think so either.
I've seen no real dirty tricks.
This is all coming from what looks like might be a dirty trick, which is the emails and what Assange is about to do.
Yeah, I definitely want to transition to that.
I thought maybe I'd just...
Because this Charles Woods, another parent of one of the slain Benghazi State Department employees, he was all over the place.
On Fox, of course, he got a very...
He got kind of a free pass, no tough questions.
But, you know, he is...
Being called on his integrity because he's saying, hey, you know, Hillary Clinton lied to me and lied to the American family, but he decided he needed to come out and talk to everybody after this Fox interview on Sunday with Hillary Clinton.
And let me just grab, I have a couple of them here.
Where she says hey you know these people they just don't remember correctly.
They just don't remember exactly what happened because they were so distraught.
I understand the grief and the incredible And by the way, I'm going to spin that back a couple of seconds.
That sentence that you just heard was completely chopped up.
They cut three angles just to get those words in a row.
Where she says, you know, the other family members don't remember it that way.
I don't, you know, it's all, listen, you can hear the audio, it was completely cut.
As other members of families who lost loved ones have said, that's not what they heard.
I don't hold any ill feeling for someone who, in that moment, May not fully recall everything that was or wasn't said.
One reason that people question your account, and this gets to the important question of trust, is because that day at Andrews, you never talked about terrorism.
You talked about the video.
We've seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi.
That took the lives of those brave men.
We've seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with.
No, that's not fair.
If you go back and read everything that I said that day, I quoted people who talked about it being terrorism.
I had already said it was terrorism.
There was no doubt it was terrorism.
Did she even chuckle there for a moment?
Did I hear her chuckle when she said that?
That was a cut there too, by the way.
That was a bad one because they had volumetric problems.
So her story is, okay, these people just didn't hear it right.
They were distraught.
But I talked about terrorism throughout the whole day.
She probably said terrorism, but that was not in her statement.
So this is unfair.
It's unfair.
I had already said it was terrorism.
There was no doubt.
She's laughing.
That little chuckle.
That is the truth wanting to come out.
That is her tell.
That's her tell, exactly.
I quoted people who talked about it being terrorism.
I had already said it was terrorism.
There was no doubt it was terrorism.
I think there has been a confusion in the minds of some and exploiting that confusion for the advantage of others.
But look at everything I said.
And this goes back to all the investigations that were carried out.
There were riots.
There were protests.
There were efforts to breach our embassies.
Yeah, but not in Benghazi.
That wasn't what that was about.
No, but I'm just telling you, we were looking at the whole world.
The whole world was aflame.
Aflame!
The whole world was aflame!
Aflame, I tell you.
So this father...
Who looks a lot like a spook to me, speaks like a spook, and does a very, very spook thing, which I know from Uncle Don is he writes everything down.
He takes notes and remembers things, and he's going to refute that Clinton is calling him a liar.
When you hear Hillary Clinton saying what she just said, what goes through your mind?
Well, I know what she said and it has nothing to do with faulty memory.
As you know, I've shown this book to many people.
I keep my brains in my pocket and for years I write down the important things that happen during the day.
This was written down right after we met with Hillary.
And so it has nothing to do with a faulty memory.
And I'll read to you exactly what the conversation was that I had with Hillary.
This is just a couple days after what happened in Benghazi when the bodies came out.
I gave Hillary a hug and shook her hand.
And she said that we are going to have the filmmaker arrested who is responsible for the death of your son.
Now...
Not only did I write that down, she also told that to other family members and then about a half hour or 45 minutes later she went on national TV at the casket ceremony and she repeated the same She said, as I recall, rage was directed towards the American Embassy as a result of the awful film that we had no part in.
So she not only lied to the American people, she also lied to myself and to other family members.
What, sir, would you like Hillary Clinton to say?
Well, I would like really for her to come clean and to tell the truth.
I would like to know personally why...
There you go.
So, he took notes.
Copious notes.
He said, this is what she said.
I'm sure they're accurate.
It seems like that's the kind of guy who would...
I mean, we heard it from another parent.
You know, from Patricia Smith.
But, you know, this is just getting zero, zero, and I mean below zero traction.
And, you know...
You've got to think, this can't be one vast conspiracy.
But I think that the media in general have been mind-controlled, psychologically tricked into believing that it is now up to them to stop the maniac from killing us.
We're all going to die!
The joke of it, of course, from our perspective, as we deconstruct the whole thing, is that Hillary is the one more likely to get us all killed.
Easily!
Well, she's a warmonger.
She loves war.
She hates the Russians.
She would like to goad them into doing something or something we can blame them for.
Well, listen to this.
I took a couple of screenshots from the face bag, just from some middle-aged women, which is what is on face bag.
And I just want to read this to you, just so you understand how people are feeling.
And it's the same way Joy Reid is feeling, I'm sure.
And this is an article to a New York Times article about Trump bringing a lot of money from small donations.
And here's the lead-in from this woman on the face back.
I'm not going to tell you who it is, but it doesn't matter.
The man is lying.
The man is a lying, emboldened, racist, misogynist bigot, and now his kind have lined up to empty their wallets in a last-ditch effort to stave off extinction.
Let's make sure we don't call people names.
But there are a lot of his species.
Do not take them for granted.
They have been waiting for their hero so they could have an excuse to publicly spew their hatred.
When they go low, we go high.
But when they donate, we gotta do the same and volunteer.
All of it.
Do not pay attention to the rumors that he will quit.
Do not think his stupidity protects us.
Do not take anything for granted.
Fight to defeat him like your lives depend on it.
Because they do.
Wow.
I wonder I'm not on Facebook.
Here's another one.
This is a link to...
Oh.
From MotherJones.com.
Headline, you have to read this amazing tweet storm by Jeb Bush's national security advisor about Trump.
And here's the lead-in.
Why does Jeb Bush have a national security advisor?
For his head.
What has he got a national...
Hey, Adam, do you have a national security advisor?
I'm going to get one.
I actually have several.
I do have national security advisors.
I do.
So here's her lead-in.
Share with everyone.
This is the scariest reason Trump must never be president.
It's about the nuclear codes.
I predict if he is that, there will be insurrection in the military.
They will never follow him.
It's like following Hitler.
We won't have a revolution.
We will have an overthrow of the presidency.
Yeah, nobody followed Hitler, by the way.
And then this woman is Jewish, just to add that.
This is a link to...
Oh, this is just a post.
Here we go.
When I open up my New York Times app, and every headline is about yet another Trump disaster, you have to wonder if the candidate will actually make it all the way to Election Day.
I feel like I'm watching a movie parody.
This does not even feel plausible.
Look up train wreck in the dictionary.
I swear, I expect to find a picture of day DJT. He's bizarre.
This election is bizarre.
Taking purple hearts from vets.
Kicking out crying babies.
Arguing with and denigrating gold star families.
And digging in against all good sense.
Saying to women, just quit if you're sexually harassed.
Not knowing Russia is already in Ukraine.
And this Tuesday, really, what will tomorrow bring?
Oh...
Meg Whitman voting and fundraising for Hillary, almost forgot, won't support McDonnell or Ryan, yet they're still supporting him and McCain's spineless admonition.
Jeez Louise!
Wow.
You could probably make a show.
We can do an extra podcast.
Just reading that.
Just reading shit from FaceBag.
Yeah, I could do it every morning.
I should mention, by the way, since you brought up FaceBag, that one of the interesting things that I expect to develop here is that one of the major, top three morning talk show guys, Michael Savage, the one that came out of San Francisco, He's probably, him and Limbaugh are both Trump in the Trump camp.
But the interesting thing about Savage is that Savage posted a link to a story about some head-chopping terrorist in Europe.
That killed someone under some circumstance.
I don't remember the exact story.
But he got the link pulled down by Facebook.
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
And then his account was killed.
And so he goes off.
I was having to be driving around listening to him.
So he goes off on Zuckerberg and the thing about Savage is I believe he's bipolar because every time anyone brings it up and there's incidences of him going nuts on the air which used to be a big draw for people because he'd go nuts and he doesn't do that so much now that he's worth millions of dollars but He goes off on Zuckerberg and starts accusing him of running a monopoly that should be looked into.
He just went off.
And I'm thinking, he's been bitching about the fact that he was banned from the UK, the savage.
Oh yeah, I remember that, yeah.
He was banned from the UK for hate speech.
And he's still irked about this.
But he is going to make Zuckerberg's life...
I don't think anybody realizes that guys like Limbaugh and Savage...
They have millions of people that adore them.
And he's going to make it...
He's going to cause a stir over there at FaceBag.
I think he's going to get him...
It's going to be interesting to watch because he's not going to...
He'll come back and they'll verify him.
I think he's...
We'll see.
But he gets irked about stuff.
I think it's going to be funny.
I'm going to transition in a minute.
I have a transition clip.
Something Hillary Clinton said at one of her rallies.
And she's tired.
She's not well.
Her voice is going hoarse again.
I haven't heard the coughing, but I'm sure it's about to start up.
And she made this gaffe, which you would think it would be played over and over again, but no.
Trump wants to cut taxes for the super rich.
Well, we're not going there, my friends.
I'm telling you right now, we're going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class.
What did she say?
We are going to raise taxes on the middle class.
Is it a gaffe or is it the truth that just wants to come out?
Oh, no, she's going to raise taxes on the middle class.
Yeah, she's raising a trillion dollars worth of taxes.
But, wow, no one has been playing this clip.
This is great.
Well, the best part of it is they're cheering.
Yeah, the idiots are cheering.
Yeah, fuck the middle class.
What?
You're idiots.
What, man?
This is no good.
Now, in all of this...
No, I've never heard that clip before.
Oh.
Well, there you go.
It's safe for posterity now.
Judge Napolitano came on his little segment there on Fox Business News, and he, in like two minutes, wraps up five years of no agenda show.
Five years.
Ties everything together.
It just blew me away.
Hillary Clinton persuaded President Obama to let her conduct a secret war in Libya to get rid of Muammar Gaddafi.
The manner of conducting the war was to arm militias to foment a civil war against Gaddafi and to bomb the Libyan government via NATO.
The president took care of the bombing.
She took care of the army.
The CIA and other intelligence agencies warned her, these are not good people that you're arming.
These are terrorist groups.
You don't want to put sophisticated arms in their hands.
It's going to come back to harm us.
She turned a deaf ear to that and she permitted the flow of arms into these groups.
One of those groups killed Ambassador Stevens, not necessarily with American arms, but with arms that she had authorized.
Remember, there was a UN and a NATO embargo on arms with the Secretary of State of the United States having the ability to pierce the embargo and allow some arms to go through.
So now we're at the stage where WikiLeaks says, we will release the emails proving that Hillary lied.
That's where we are.
All of this is connected.
All of this is connected to the attack on the DNC's emails, which the DNC, the Clinton campaign, and the Obama administration told us was done by the Russians.
Over the weekend, a 30-year veteran from the NSA says, that wasn't done by the Russians, that was done by the NSA, because they have such antipathy towards Mrs.
Clinton because of this.
Because she permitted arming of terrorist groups in defiance of their warnings, and because Americans died as a result of it.
So far, the media has distracted attention away from what you call a lie towards the problems that Donald Trump has.
If these emails are released, and there it is, in black and white, the absolute lie, will it then land in the public imagination and make a difference in the elections?
What will it take for the pro-Clinton media finally to realize that they need to expose the truth?
We saw a little bit of that yesterday when the Washington Post, which wants her to beat Donald Trump, gave her four Pinocchios, their maximum criticism, for her interview with Chris Wallace, where she lied boldly and blatantly.
Last one.
Assange says there will be an October surprise.
In other words, a surprise that comes out in October right before the election.
Whatever you think of Assange, every time he promises, he delivers.
In fact, he usually under-promises and over-delivers.
He readily admits he wants to prevent Mrs. Clinton from being elected president by exposing the truth, and he's going to expose it at strategic times in the next 98 days.
I wonder how the media will take that.
I wonder if they'll bother covering it.
We'll have no choice.
It's no laughing matter.
Bob's life and death.
All right.
So there you go.
That's nice.
I had a couple of comments.
Yes?
I mean, the last newsletter I sent out showed how the media's not going to...
They're not going to pay any attention.
They almost avoid using WikiLeaks as a source for anything.
Yeah, because they're not getting it spoon-fed like they used to from WikiLeaks so that they can go and publish it.
They're not in the game this time.
Well, you know, there is a search engine you can use, WikiLeaks, and you can dig up a lot of good dirt on all kinds of stuff.
I think maybe...
I want to mention one other thing.
We've had a couple of instances of the Russians being blamed for the leaks, and also...
There's also a meme going around, and I'll put this in the next newsletter, showing that there's a bunch of stooges for Hillary, stooges, saying the messages were stolen, not leaked.
Don't use leaked.
They were stolen, not leaked.
Stolen, not leaked.
And so they're trying to get that meme to work.
I don't know how far...
Well, it didn't work with Snowden, so why would it work?
Because it's Hillary.
Well, also...
One last thing.
I have the clip.
I don't have it with me.
I'll run it out on Sunday.
Just the other day, Je Johnson was one of those guys doing that morning with the Christian Science Monitor meeting with a bunch of reporters and him talking about what's what with the national security and Department of Homeland.
Point blank said, and I'll get the clip of this, point blank says, somebody asked him about the Russians, he says, we have absolutely no evidence that the Russians had anything to do with this, and we don't know who did it.
We don't know, we're looking into it.
So the Russian thing is a total red herring, and everybody's using it, including the PBS NewsHour.
I think that was Hayden.
Was that Hayden who said that on that...
I thought it was Hayden.
That said what?
That said that, what you just mentioned, that we have no idea.
I don't know, but Johnson says we're looking into it.
Johnson, probably the same thing.
Okay, good.
I think it was Hayden who said, this is a media hype, even.
Ah, man, I should have grabbed that one.
Okay.
But here is Hillary Clinton.
Listen to the words she uses.
This is, of course, this is NLP. She's very, very good at this.
Accusing Putin of the hack and tying Donald Trump into Russia.
And the way she does it is two words.
We know.
And I like this.
I don't think I've heard this used before in this manner.
So instead of saying, you know, we have a, what is also true, or the truth is, or of course you can have all the sad ones, the fact of the matter at the end of the day, all of that, or essentially the stupid words we fall into.
But we know is a new one, and listen to how she uses it.
Do you believe that Russia is behind the hacking and release of the DNC emails, and do you think that Vladimir Putin wants to defeat you, or see you defeated, and Donald Trump elected president?
Well, Chris, here's what I think we know.
We know that Russian intelligence services, which are part of the Russian government, which is under the firm control of Vladimir Putin, hacked into the DNC. And we know that they arranged for a lot of those emails to be released.
And we know that Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin.
Whether it's saying that NATO wouldn't come to the rescue of our allies if they were invaded.
Talking about removing sanctions from Russian officials after they were imposed by the United States and Europe together because of Russia's aggressiveness in Crimea and Ukraine.
His praise for Putin, which is, I think, quite remarkable.
Quite remarkable.
We know.
We know.
She said right there, we know that the Russians hacked into the DNC. We don't know that.
We don't know that.
So, Julian Assange, are you still with me, John?
Yeah.
Julian Assange does the rounds.
I'm all ears.
Julian Assange comes on by a couple of shows, and his message was very similar.
I liked when he came on, this was NBC with Chuck, Chuck Todd, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, what do we call him?
Chip Todd?
The Chuckster.
The Chuckenheimer.
So the Chuckenheimer...
Before you go on, I want to mention that he did come on PBS, and that's what I was monitoring with his thing.
I couldn't even get a clip out of it.
He is so boring.
Yes, he's very boring.
I love how the Chuckster introed Julian Assange and Julian Parade his intro.
Well, joining me now is the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, who has been granted asylum at the Embassy of Ecuador in London.
He is currently fighting extradition to Sweden.
Because of rape charges, charges, by the way, that he denies.
Mr.
Assange joins me now.
Good morning, sir.
Welcome to Meet the Press.
Good morning, Chuck.
First, I'll have to, unfortunately, correct you for some sloppy journalism.
I have not been in charge with anything whatsoever, and I have already been previously cleared, and the UN has formally found this year that I am illegally detained in this embassy for the past four years.
We will correct the record and let your comments there speak for themselves.
Good for you, douchebag.
Assange has been cleared of that, but for that intro to take place was a nice way to intro your guest.
Yeah, it was poor.
Now, Assange was badgered by everybody.
He kept saying, well, I can't say yes or no because I don't want to give any indication where we got the materials from.
Now he's gotten the message and he's coming out and pretty much denying the Russians were involved in the emails that WikiLeaks released.
Doesn't mean they didn't do the hacking, but we'll hear Assange's words himself.
This is a separate question.
To the release of our email.
So in the US media there's been a deliberate conflation between DNC leaks, which is what we've been publishing, and DNC hacks of the US Democratic Party, which have occurred over the last two years by their own admission a number of times.
Okay, so that's The circumstantial evidence are that some Russian was involved or someone who wanted to make it look like a Russian was involved with these other media organizations.
That's not the case for the material that we released.
Okay, so there he's finally saying it.
That's not the case.
This was not Russia.
Take it for what you believe from Assange.
I think we're going to see a perfect storm, and I'm really hoping that if it's true what the judge says, that the NSA has these emails, and that wouldn't surprise me, That would make a lot of sense that they have this and that they want to use this.
Although, you know, then we still have what side are they on?
Are they with FBI or with CIA? It would make sense that they would move more towards FBI because I think there's an inherent conflict between CIA and NSA. And between CIA and FBI. Absolutely.
And what has happened with, I feel, very little fanfare, very little press, although I have tons of C-SPAN clips, well, tons, but I have some C-SPAN clips about the president who not only authorized but put into action bombing of CERT in Libya.
Now, we have to go back to United Nations Resolution 1973.
which we discussed ad nauseum in, oh man, I was still living in LA when that happened, which pretty much bypassed all American mechanisms of war, mainly Congress having to declare it.
And under the authorized use of military force from the 2001 AUMF, which is still anything related to bin Laden and those who brought down the Twin Towers, the attack in New York, we went ahead and we bombed the crap out of Libya.
And we pretty much let whoever was working on our side on the ground drag Gaddafi through town and wound up killing him and taking some pictures of it.
And, of course, Hillary was very happy when that happened.
So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
Yes, we came, we saw, he died.
Yeah, we killed him!
We killed him!
So now we're back.
And I'm, of course, going to explain why.
But first, listen to the President explaining why we are now bombing in Libya.
And, of course, you will not hear him give the actual reason.
With respect to Libya, you know, I have said on several occasions that we did the right thing in preventing what could have been a massacre, a bloodbath, in Libya.
Okay, that's...
Sure!
Instead, we created a...
Yeah, it was the wrong bloodbath.
It was supposed to be our bloodbath, right.
And we did so as part of an international coalition and under UN mandate.
That by itself, Mr.
Constitution, under UN mandate?
Mandate.
Isn't that interesting?
I just love the word mandate.
I like the way he pushes this off to somebody else's fault.
Oh, by the way, I cut out every single pause in this guy's speech once again.
All of us, collectively, were not sufficiently attentive to what had to happen the day after and the day after and the day after that in order to ensure that there were strong structures in place This is really unbelievable that he is saying this.
He is admitting, well, you know, we stopped a bloodbath by creating a bloodbath, and we really didn't think about what happened after we killed the guys and got rid of that.
We didn't think about it.
Gee, the day after, the day...
Wow!
Well, thanks, Obama.
...to assure basic security and peace inside of Libya.
The good news is that we now have the beginnings of a government in the government of the National Accord.
They are serious about trying to bring all the factions together to start creating a basic security structure to begin to Monitor Libya's borders and to cooperate internationally to deal with issues like ISIL penetration on their territory.
And at the request of that government, after they had already made significant progress against ISIL and had essentially pushed ISIL into a very confined area, In and around cert.
It is in America's national security interests in our fight against ISIL to make sure that they're able to finish the job.
And so we're working in partnership with them to assure that ISIL does not get a stronghold in Libya, even as Libya begins what is going to be a long process to establish a functioning government and security system there.
Okay, so, of course, we're back to our national security interests, and I will explain exactly what that is, and in the show notes, you will find multiple maps of pipelines, refineries, and oil fields in Libya, and you will see that CERT is the place where we have the refinery, where we load up the ships, and we've got ISIS, whoever they are, moving in and saying, eh, I think we're going to take this oil now because it's our oil anyway.
And what happened, and of course this is what the UN Resolution 1973 was all about, it was about French assets.
The French said, please, we've got to go in, we want our oil or the oil that is theirs that we want.
And we wound up with a situation where the oil in Libya is divided up between the UK, France, and the United States.
So our national security interest, which the president for some reason is too chicken shit to just say, because then it kind of all unravels what we did there in Libya, is to stop these rebels, ISIS, or probably Libyans who are pissed off, That we are taking their oil.
So we can't have that.
And it's the French who, again, because they've been doing all kinds of stuff.
Again, it's the French who really asked us to come in.
But that's not the story as the way it's being spun.
The Department of Defense does their own briefings.
We don't really play a lot of them because they're boring.
But there were a couple of girls in the Defense Department press pool who were asking good questions, actually kind of acting a little ignorant and dumb, which I believe to be a ploy, and they got some good stuff out.
My understanding is, correct me if I'm wrong, is this is the beginning of a campaign, an air campaign in Libya, in which the U.S. military is supporting...
GNA militias who have pledged their loyalty to the GNA. A GNA is what the president just referred to, the Government of National Accord.
It is a little group that we set up and said, okay, you're not the government.
Is that fair?
It's a small group.
There's two much bigger groups that are trying to run the country that are run by a couple of ex-generals.
Yeah.
And we kind of ignore them.
Well, of course, we're bombing them probably.
Who knows?
Well, probably bombing them.
This is the beginning of, the President has approved these strikes, and they will continue until CERT is liberated.
They will continue as long as the GNA is requesting this...
But they don't have to put in a request every single time.
There is now this blanket authority that exists for the U.S. military to strike when the GNA puts in a request.
These requests will be carefully coordinated with the GNA. This all originates from GNA requests for assistance.
And the President has given the authority for us to have to carefully consider those requests.
So the way it's supposed to work here is the GNA, the government of national court who we install, we put in place as our guys.
They say, oh, we have a request.
Could you bomb over here?
And then we carefully consider the request.
Scratch our chin.
OK.
Yeah.
And we'll probably make it precision.
Just to be clear, because I think comparing this to these two previous strikes that were going after individuals, each one, it sounds as if this is these were strikes that were carried out today.
But this is the beginning of an air campaign over Libya, correct?
We are prepared to carry out more strikes in coordination with the GNA if those requests are forthcoming.
And so...
I like that she's badgering him.
She's good.
Millennials.
Good kid.
Granted, right?
The authorization has been granted.
The GNA has requested U.S. He talks to her like he's talking to a little girl.
Well, yes, he's mansplaining her, but he's in trouble.
Because he can't just answer the question truthfully, which is, we're buying the crap out of this until these guys are out of our refineries and we have recaptured.
And we'll have boots on the ground, too.
Airstrikes.
Again, precision.
Precision airstrikes, John.
Yeah, the ones that we use that, you know, we take into account we might kill 50 civilians, but they're precision.
Airstrikes to help in their campaign as needed.
As needed.
Today we delivered on that request.
Add more salt as needed.
After careful consideration, we're prepared to carry out more strikes in careful coordination with the GNA. Careful coordination.
Yes, I'm in careful coordination with the IRS. In every step of the way.
How exactly does that authority happen?
So the GNA puts in the request to who, and how high up does each strike have to be approved?
Good question.
I'm not going to get into every single aspect of our coordination with the GNA. But again, the President has approved.
This operation will be carried out under the command of AFRICOM. And there will be, again, a process in place for the coordination on any future strikes with the GNA. It'll be determined by the commanders there overseeing this operation.
Okay, so it's clear what we're doing, and we're going to keep doing that.
The President has approved it.
Here is the spokeshole admitting that this is under what I believe to be a faulty authorization of use of military force.
Under what legal authority are these strikes being conducted?
Under the 2001 authorization for the use of military force.
Alright, so the 2001 authorization for use of military force was specifically for anyone who brought down the towers.
Not ISIS, not IS, not ISIL, not Daesh, not Libya.
None of that.
It's illegal.
Similar to our previous airstrikes in Libya.
And I'd like to go back to previous questions because I'm not very clear.
Does the GNI have to ask?
We don't have to listen to that.
But I do want to play the last bit, which is how long this will take.
When the Libyans make requests that the U.S. strike a target, will the U.S. vet that target before striking it?
Yes, it absolutely will.
And so how does that process occur?
Who does it?
Are there Americans on the ground who are vetting the targets on the ground, or how does that happen?
There is a collaborative process, a very closely coordinated process that we've engaged with with the GNA in terms of assessing and determining the precise locations to hit.
And yes, the United States military will be rigorously involved in every step of this process.
We will be reviewing and deciding those list of targets after, again, close consultation with the GNA. How long the campaign will last?
Again, this will depend on the request of support from the GNA, and we're proceeding along that line.
We don't have an endpoint at this particular moment in time, but we'll be working closely with the GNA. No end point.
And we certainly hope that this is something that does not require a lengthy amount of time.
We've seen, again, great progress by the GNA on their own in the fight against ISIL. We've seen ISIL's numbers reduced in Libya.
And we think that this precision airstrike capability, this unique capability that we can provide to their ongoing efforts, can make a difference in this candidate.
So what are we?
Are we guns for hire?
Let's just take the oil out of the equation, because it's not being told, and no one's explaining that.
Let's take that out of the equation.
Since when?
Is Libya a NATO member?
They just said, hey, you know, we need some precision airstrikes over here.
Could you bring them over?
And we go, okay.
This is insane.
Another war has opened up.
And we're bombing.
From what I understand, it's guaranteed 30 days that can be extended forever, of course.
It'll be a year.
Maybe longer.
They're like ants.
ISIS doesn't just go away.
And you have to have people on the ground.
Once you bomb them, then you've got to keep them at bay.
We're not being told a lot.
A lot is being withheld.
It's ridiculous.
I'm really upset about this.
All these people are screaming and yelling about Trump with his hand on the nuclear codes.
His finger on the button.
Yeah, there's no complaints about this.
He's flipping the switch.
Meanwhile, the president, he didn't really lie, but he just said, oh, it's a national security interest.
It's Libya.
There's never any video or anything of Libya anyway.
And I think this Libya, everything's going to come together, and it will really hinge on what WikiLeaks has.
And, you know, I would have to say that even if they got it from NSA, if Russia, if I was Putin and I had him, I'd be like, listen, this crazy bitch wants to come out and fight me, and this guy, this Trump guy, you know, seems like he wants to do a deal!
So, why wouldn't he have the incentive to mess around with our elections?
Yeah, well, it's not as though the foreign governments have not messed around with our elections throughout history.
Yeah.
Well, of course.
Of course.
Of course.
I mean, come on.
I mean, how naive are these people on FaceBag?
Completely.
There's no stopping that.
And, you know, we have to say a number of our listeners who have abandoned the show because they don't want to hear any of this.
No, it's sad.
I was actually talking with Christina.
I said, you know, we're definitely experiencing, you know, people not supporting us because they believe that we're sold out, we're shills, we're just defending Trump.
All we've done consistently, consistently, is just try to deconstruct what's being said about everybody.
Yeah, and it just turns out when you dig deeper, Hillary's a bad actor.
Yeah.
Well, and it's not like that we haven't been consistent with that.
No, we've never liked Hillary.
That's true.
And for our show, honestly, no matter who becomes president, it's going to be fun.
Yeah, I would say either candidate, in fact, even if Jill Stein became the President of the United States, which seems highly unlikely, although she actually makes the most sense when you start listening to her.
Did you see the Libertarian Town Hall?
No, I couldn't put up that.
It looked like a repeat of the first time I saw that.
Yeah.
The ratings for that must have been down through the terrible people running as independents.
I would say Jill Stein is the only one that is, to me, entertaining and interesting and makes decent points.
She's not an independent, John.
She is a member of the Greenie.
She's a Greenie.
She's not an independent.
Vermin Supreme is...
Other than the two parties, I should fall into that trap.
I'm a stickler about that.
I don't like hearing we have a two-party system, and I don't like hearing Gary Johnson as an independent, because he's not...
And Jill Stein is kind of social.
She's enjoyable.
She's more fun to listen to than Gary.
Gary is stoned.
No, he claims he hasn't smoked in months, and I believe him.
Oh, please.
I believe him.
Well, I don't.
It doesn't matter.
All I have to do is look at him.
No, I know it doesn't matter.
This is just a side show, let's face it.
Well, yeah.
Although I think if you want to vote for Gary Johnson, vote for Gary Johnson.
Jill Stein, Jill Stein.
It's not a vote for anybody else but who you're voting for.
I'm all for it.
Yeah, I agree with that.
You vote for who you think should win, and then you suffer the consequences of Hillary becoming president.
Well, with that, I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for Consequences, Dvorak.
And in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning to all ships at sea.
Boots on the ground.
Subs in the water.
All the feet in the air and the dames and knights out there.
Yes.
Well, I would say in the morning to the chat room, but I checked out.
You checked out.
Yeah, I don't want to hear this crap.
I'm doing work here.
Work way too hard for this.
I want to thank Mark G. for the album artwork for episode 847.
It was the macaroni and champagne.
Or the mac and cheese and ching-ching, as some have dubbed it on the tweeters.
A beautiful piece.
Thank you.
And Mark, of course, professional.
Professional artist.
Out of work.
Might want to add that.
Good guys, but no work.
Starving artists.
That's your economy.
It's great.
Almost no unemployment, except apparently for the starving artists who help us.
Right, unemployment zero!
Noagendaartgenerator.com.
Go check them all out, and we thank everyone who submitted, because we use it for lots of stuff, not just for album art, but also for newsletters, etc.
And we do have some producers to thank today.
Yes, we do.
In fact, we have a couple or three that are making up for some of the people that have abandoned the show because of what we do, which is disappointing, but to be expected.
Starting off with Bill, I guess it's Bower.
Bower.
B-O-W-E-R. Bower in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
He becomes a knight if you throw in a penny.
Oh, I have one here somewhere.
There you go.
It's a big penny.
Because he gave us $856.09, and at $856.10, based on his previous donation, he will...
I'll read his note.
He closes a check for $865.09, and if Adam will...
Proffer.
Proffer.
That's a word I don't use.
I like the word proffer.
The customary penny.
This was my donation.
And he's got his little list for April.
It completes my knighthood.
I would like to be known as Sir William of Morningside.
Let me make sure we got that in there.
Sir William of Morningside.
Okay.
Uh, karma please for Matt Lee, Sam Harris, and Thomas Sowell.
Don't eat me Hillary and Adam's favorite, whatever that might be.
Hold on a second.
In March.
Hold on, I'm trying to, this is not in here.
Hold on a second.
It's not in here because it's on this letter.
Oh, okay.
Sir, I'm writing it down.
Sir, give me his title again, I'm sorry.
Sir William of Morningside.
Got it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know I had to do admin.
Yeah, you have to do some admin.
I mean, I could have put...
What does he want?
I could have scanned the letter and then done an OCR and sent that to Eric.
He would have put it in.
I decided against it.
He wants, don't eat me Hillary and Adam's favorite.
My favorite?
Yeah, you have a favorite.
I do?
I don't know.
Just anyone.
Just pick something.
Okay, okay.
You're so picky.
In March, John and Adam came in more or less on opposite sides of the digital versus analog display of information.
I weighed in on the matter.
Adam teased my response to the following.
This is what took him so long to get to the night.
You teased him.
Adam teased my response in the following show, but John deflected it.
Also denied my 15 minutes of fame.
My take...
Oh, I guess it was my fault, not yours.
My take is repeated below in the case the matter again becomes worth discussing.
John, no, I don't know any Carl LaFong, capital L, small A, capital F, small O, small N, small G. And if I did, I wouldn't admit it.
That's the exact quote from the W.C. Fields movie, It's a Gift, by the way.
For your archives, it includes a plate block for the W.C. Fields stamp that was issued sometime in the 70s.
I'm not a stamp collector, but I bought hundreds of these when they were issued.
And they're only used on correspondence with connoisseurs of comic genius.
ITM and best wishes for the continued success of BPITU. And he has another sheet attached.
Does he also need a jobs karma or just a regular karma?
I think, well, he wants the karma for Thomas Sowell and these other guys, Matt Lee.
All right.
And then he's got a digital versus analog instruments, Screed, which I will make a copy of, send it to you, and we'll discuss it on a future show.
Beautiful.
Please!
Wait a minute, that's not the right one.
Where did that one come from?
I don't know.
From the archives.
I'll play them back to back.
Eat me, Hillary Clinton!
Now here we have Ham Radio, guys.
Ham Radio is the public service network of last resort.
When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
Right?
You've got Carmen.
Ah, yes.
And thank you very much.
Bill will be knighting you later on.
Yes, that was a nice note.
Now we move on to Andrew German in Canton, Georgia.
And he came in with a goodly amount, 543.21.
And he has a note.
With great pleasure, I make the following donation to the best podcast in the universe in 543.21.
I hope this is 543.21.
I hope this helps you through the dog days of summer.
Thank you, it does.
My apologies for being a douchebag for so long, but I was bereft of anything resembling modern currency.
Okay, gotcha.
By the way, this is on Starfleet Command.
Oh, yes, of course it is.
But it's not the same one.
This is a full-size sheet.
It's a different guy, too.
So we have a number of people in Starfleet.
It's a fleet.
It's a fleet.
My apologies for being a douchebag, he says.
Having explored the known universe, I know a great podcast when I hear it, and I truly appreciate your success and brilliance in deconstructing our home planet's obfuscatory news media.
Telescreens.
But hard to see.
Hard to read.
Obfuscatory.
The people that give the most money are always the most literate.
It's weird.
Having explored the known universe and blah, blah, blah.
May I ask for a simple hello, citizen, a de-douching and job karma greeting.
Keep up the daring exploration and award-winning coverage of our corrupt leadership.
Semper Exploro.
He wanted a hey, citizen, hey, citizen, and what?
He wants a hey citizen and then a job karma.
Oh, okay.
We can do that for you.
And thank you very much for your support of the best podcast in the universe.
The best podcast in the universe.
Hey, citizen.
You've got karma.
You left the jobs out.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, let's do that again, then.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Double shot!
And deserved.
Sorry.
Yeah, well, that'll probably give a bunch of people work.
Hopefully.
Here we go.
Mark Layton, $333.01.
He's in Colchester, Vermont.
I have a note.
He actually wrote the note out, and then he sent me a printout of the note, which I really appreciate people who do that.
Mainly because some people's handwriting slows me down.
It closes my contribution in support of the best podcasts in the universe.
Please play Don't Eat Me, Hillary.
This is the random number.
Wow.
Don't eat me Hillary Clinton for my son, as that is his favorite clip.
The kids know us up.
These kids are funny.
Also, please send out some karma to the entire No Agenda community on my behalf.
P.S. John's comparison of the media creating Donald Trump to the aliens creating the monster from the movie Forbidden Planet in show 845 was...
was...
What is outstanding?
That is not your regular tube.
No, I just...
I mis...
I didn't place it correctly.
Go get your tube, man.
Get your tube.
Outstanding.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
You've got karma.
Thank you, Mark.
Alright, onward.
Let's see here.
We go now to Paul Shavati in Saskatoon.
Our favorite place in Canada.
I've never been there.
I'd love to visit.
If you can get a meet-up with enough people, I'll show up.
We meet all of Canada.
222.22.
A few quick things, gentlemen.
I like a dedouching.
We can give them right away.
Dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
I would like to call out Dylan Veach and my wife Lisa, picture attached, as douchebags.
Douchebags!
I found that very hard to do.
Did you see the picture?
No.
Hubba hubba.
Hubba hubba douchebag.
Hubba hubba.
And I would like to congratulate Sir Shane Rosdilsky on his recent knighthood.
I pledge fealty to his crown.
Excellent.
As it should be.
Yeah.
This donation should put me within spitting distance of my knighthood as I'd like such to preserve the name Sir Paul of the Parts of the Paris of the Prairies.
All right.
We'll reserve that.
Thank you, too, for all you do.
Your media assassinations have been on point.
If you have time for a jingle, please play Clippity Clop and Bingo Boom Shakalaka, the remix.
Go podcast.
It's Clippity Clop.
The message is clear.
You've got karma.
Ay, ay, ay.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Hey, drunk donation.
Nice.
Kevin Strange with a very short drunk donation.
$200.33 in Norfolk, Great Britain.
Drunk donation.
Grafting all weekend, cutting trees and grinding stumps to save paying local pikeys from rinsing me.
Fucking PayPal.
See email.
Did you get an email from Kevin?
I don't know.
I think he passed out.
He passed out.
See, I'll say email.
But he was so drunk he did $200.33.
That's great.
Well, that was good.
Well, I'm going to give you some karma there, man.
Some sobering up karma, maybe.
You've got karma.
Thank you for your courage.
And finally, Tom Kostler from Barts Unknown, I believe.
He writes, Hello Abigail and Jennifer, long time boner, first time donor, so I humbly request a de-douching.
Bing!
Give me a de-douching.
Hold on, de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
I'm a millennial producer who truly values the information and entertainment you provide for our country.
It seems the show becomes more and more necessary each year, and every time I go out on the face bag, I'm tempted to donate to the show.
Go to face bag more.
The level of discourse in our country is appalling and depressing.
Thank you, news media.
The only things that millennial idiots I encounter daily on social media posts or tweet are either brazen propaganda or clickbait that insults one's intelligence.
These people are so wrapped up in the media narrative that they are hopelessly adrift in a miasma.
Ta-da!
A miasma of infotainment.
I know, that's a good one.
Of infotainment that is toxic to one's mental and emotional health.
That's what we say.
Mm-hmm.
In particular, these social justice warriors make me wonder if I'm living on another planet.
I hope that the show continues to focus on social justice warriors because I believe that's also the news media.
I believe that they are the single greatest threat to our country and its future.
I'm also a Turkish producer who has attended Fethullah Gulen schools and I hope...
That the show will continue its excellent analysis of Turkey because I think that things will soon reach a boiling point if that point hasn't already been reached.
Mark Hall posted, of course, in the movie Killing Ed, that now FBI is investigating a number of Harmony schools.
Oh, interesting.
Or Gulen, not Harmony, but other Gulen network-based schools.
Gulen operations.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
United States.
Thank you, and I kindly requested two words for you, Predator Drones.
Oh, here's what he wants.
I want two words, Predator Drones, two to the head.
It's almost too delicious to believe.
God, too many of these clips.
Trump and Pelosi jobs, and of course, a shot at karma.
I have two words for you.
Predator Drones.
Yes.
It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
Jobs.
And jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Not too complicated for the kid.
Yeah, you did well.
And that concludes our list of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 8, what is it?
848, palindrome.
848, 848, the palindrome.
Did you even mention it in the newsletter?
I forgot.
Well, thank you very much for those who stepped up for us.
It's appreciated.
This is the value for value concept.
The whole model is built on that.
We could not discuss 10% of what we talk about on the show if we had advertising, if we had corporate, if we had a corporate structure even, if we had a boss.
None of that would happen.
So we appreciate you supporting us.
And of course, we deliver the value, we believe, twice a week.
And we'll be back on Sunday with another show.
So remember us at Dvorak.org.
Slash N-A. And even though I told you to disengage, be on the lookout for those who are ready and propagate the formula to them!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Hey, citizen.
Shut up, Slade!
Shut up, Slade!
Moving to the next block, I do have two storylines that are being completely ignored by the mainstream so they can spend more time bashing Trump.
Okay.
And tell me if you heard about this.
This is the new A-bomb.
Oh.
Okay.
$11 billion.
$11 billion is going into this.
Does it blow it up?
I don't know if they're going to test it.
Hello again.
A US program to upgrade its nuclear arsenal has entered a new phase.
The National Nuclear Security Administration has approved the final development stage of a revised bomb.
Production of the new weapon is set to begin in 2020.
The upgrade will turn the old B61 bomb into a modern, high-precision weapon, but at a price.
Some $11 billion has been set aside to refit up to 480 bombs.
Each will be 80 times more powerful than the one that was dropped on Hiroshima 71 years ago.
A warning, we're about to show some graphic archive video.
And?
Oh, man!
What was the graphic archive video?
They just show it.
This is from RT. RT does way too much video with no voiceover.
Oh.
So it's always annoying.
Now, there's one little anomaly.
There's also a second part to this where Obama, and this is RT, so they always like to needle Obama.
So they have a very good clip of Obama saying, we're going to get rid of nuclear weapons in 2009.
He said that.
Oh, perfect.
And it's very funny, but before we play part two, I do have to mention something that just kind of, I don't know, the concept eludes me.
And I'm going to just ask you, this will be like an Ask Adam.
The new bomb is a precision bomb.
It's an A-bomb.
It's an atomic bomb.
How precision do you need?
If you drop it on Austin, dripping springs will be fine.
Unbelievable.
It's just buzzwords, man.
It's marketing.
This is marketing, too.
By the way, nobody's reporting on this at all.
So let's play part two and get to hear Obama.
Clearly and with conviction.
America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.
There's no explanation for it and there's no discussion of it in the U.S. Political debate, the media is owned by the corporate, the corporation, so what we're looking at...
Who's that speaking?
Who is this?
Some old battle act.
I like it.
The media is owned by the corporations.
So what we're looking at with nuclear weapons is a failure of democracy because if people really knew what was going on, it wouldn't happen.
Six bases across Europe host this type of American nuclear weaponry.
The upgraded version is set to enter stockpiles in 2024.
Many could be sent to bases in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Turkey.
This may be in response to a report about the Russians developing, or not developing, but beta testing new laser weapons.
It's like, yeah, we've got laser weapons.
Oh yeah, we're upgrading that A-bomb!
Precision!
Precision.
Yeah, precision.
And Elon Musk put autopilot in it.
It's good.
It's all good to go.
Don't worry.
Now, the other story, which I was actually taken aback by, and this is a complete crazy story.
This is...
The wow clip.
This, by the way, nobody's talking about this.
I read this story and completely did nothing with it.
I like this a lot.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You set it up or...
It'll set itself up.
Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expected to propose reopening an inquiry into allegations that former U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld was assassinated by a South African power military organization supported by the CIA and British intelligence.
Dag Hammarskjold was the UN's second Secretary General and died in a plane crash in 1961.
The South African government has announced the recent discovery of decades-old intelligence documents detailing the alleged plot.
The CIA has denied involvement.
I don't think anyone, even in New York, they only know...
That's the plaza.
Dag Hammarskjold Plaza.
You don't know who that guy is.
He's just a plaza.
So he was the second head of the UN, and he was killed in 61, according to the documents that is uncovered, which is an embarrassment to everybody.
He was, I remember when I was a little kid, this guy, and he was actually, the problem they had to kill him, because he was actually taking the UN at its face value and taking it seriously.
Oh no, we'll have none of that.
Instead of being just a stooge for America's interests.
No, this is the wrong thing.
And we could have told him.
No small aircraft, no hot tubs, no canoeing.
Yeah.
So they blew up some aircraft and killed him.
It was an accident.
And according to the news, nobody ever...
This is outrageous.
And what's most outrageous is that nobody in the media is touching this story.
Well, and I believe they're not touching it because they don't think the audience cares, and I would agree.
I was talking with Christina yesterday, just to give you an idea.
And I said, oh, you know, this guy is CKS Interactive.
I knew him.
He had this cult, and they wore purple tracksuits and black Nikes with white swoosh, and they drank Kool-Aid, and they killed themselves to go join the UFO cult.
She'd never heard of this story.
And this, to me, is like, oh, this is just reasonably fresh in my memory.
These kids don't know any of this.
Old stories way before she was born.
But that's my point.
These are stories that we know.
And it's the same with Clinton.
These kids don't know about Travelgate, and they maybe heard a little bit about Monocle.
We see them care.
They don't care.
They don't care.
They don't know.
They don't care.
They didn't witness it the way we did.
So this is even for my generation, like, oh, yeah, whatever.
Right.
I'm sorry.
That's why we try to be old on this show.
We're doing a good job.
I'd like to call back to the A Block.
I found two clips that slipped into the wrong folder.
I think they are important.
I found the ABC clip.
We're ABC, and this is why it's interesting that you think Trump is, and maybe it is a ploy for Trump, maybe haven't figured it out yet, they are the ones who started the Trump might drop out of the race meme.
I think it's worth playing that.
Sorry for the callback.
And you're reporting something pretty startling right now.
You've got senior officials inside the Republican Party actually exploring what to do if Trump drops out?
This is absolutely unprecedented.
First of all, I am told that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus is furious that he has had multiple discussions with Trump telling him he needs to drastically change course.
But here's the news.
I am told that senior officials at the party are actively exploring what would happen if Trump dropped out, how to replace him on the ballot.
The answer, George, is they can't force him out.
He would have to go out voluntarily.
And then it would be the 168 members of the RNC, through a complicated process, they would pick a new candidate.
It would have to happen by early September.
A possibility?
Early September.
He is so unpredictable right now.
They are so unable to control his message that they just don't know.
And they clearly think it is a possibility, which is why they're looking at these rules.
And one of the reasons, John Carl, some of the Republicans still standing by Trump, it appears that he still has some ability to raise some money for them.
He does.
And George, I have to say that the frustration is especially deep because they believe that Hillary Clinton looks vulnerable, exactly as Matthew said.
She's actually had a bad few days.
The DNC's gone through a whole shakeup.
She misstated what the FBI director said about her emails.
One top official told me if Trump had gone on vacation for the past two weeks, he would be in the lead.
But yes, he can still raise money and he still has support among the Republican rank and file.
Interesting.
Okay, now I hear the report for the fourth time.
It makes a little more sense.
So they do launch this rumor, but they say, if he had just gone on vacation, he would have been ahead.
Hillary's a mess.
They had bad days.
Well, there's also another subtext, which is the...
One thing they've noticed about Trump is that the down ballot hasn't suffered, which they're fearful of.
And so what they're trying to do is they're trying to make it two elections.
Whatever kind of Republican you are, you're going to vote for the down ballot as a Republican because it's what you're going to do.
It's got nothing to do with what you do.
Explain down ballot, please.
The down ballot is like when you get a ballot, you got the president at the top, then you got your U.S. senator is up for election, let's say, in some states.
And then you have your local congressman is up for election against somebody.
That's the down ballot, the people down on the ballot.
They're at the top.
And it's pretty literal.
And so they're worried that Trump was going to lose badly and take the whole place with him.
That's what the fear was, because this is a grand experiment with this guy.
So, it turns out, as they study this more, the down ballot does not appear as if it's going to suffer, which is one of the reasons we had that clip a couple shows ago, where they started noticing this, and the Democrats are getting irked by Hillary trying to get people, the Republican Party, to vote for her, because they don't want the Republicans coming out at all.
The best bet is to not have the Republicans vote, to stay home.
Yeah, because the Republicans will probably get the House and the Senate if Hillary...
Yes, they should get the House and the Senate again, and whoever gets president is beside the point.
Yeah, doesn't matter.
But it turns out now that...
That people are separating the ballot up.
They're chopping it up in their brains.
And they're going to come out and vote for Hillary or Trump.
They really hate Trump.
They're going to come out and vote for Hillary.
And then they're going to vote for the rest of the Republicans.
So this is like this Hillary strategy.
That's not a bad strategy to make sure the Republicans control the House and the Senate.
Then the president is effectively a deadlock.
Neutered.
Neutered.
That fits well with her.
Yeah, it's funny.
So that's kind of what's going on.
And this report that discusses this, Trump's going to quit, it makes, you know, what it does, I think it drives more people to vote for Trump because it sounds like dirty tricks in the party.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you have, like, so the upper echelon, and it looks like insurance to me for the upper echelon, so Rance Priebus was...
He's supposedly mad.
I'm sure he's not even paying attention.
He won't get blamed one way or the other because he can just deny all this stuff.
We don't have any clips of Rance Priebus being furious.
Mad, mad, crazy.
You don't see it?
There's nothing.
There's not a clip of him being furious.
It's always from one of my Republican sources.
That's what I always hear.
One of my Republican sources says...
Right, so what you're going to end up with is if Trump loses, Rance Priebus can say...
I knew this was going to happen.
You've seen the reports.
Or if he wins, they're going to say, I don't know what they were talking about.
I was never furious.
So he comes out smelling like a rose.
This whole thing is bullcrap.
Yeah.
Obviously bogative.
But that was a pro-Trump piece, even though it didn't sound like it.
That's what I thought.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
CNN. Hey, baby, thank you.
Woo!
Nice.
I got a nice drink for my daughter.
Donald Trump has called CNN the Clinton News Network.
Yes.
And the truth always...
The clips you played earlier are definitely true.
Maybe this one will seal the deal.
As the truth always wants to come out, Brooke Baldwin in duo presentation mode with Chris Cuomo.
Take quite a while longer.
What happens to other folks who want a chance to run against her?
Because she's doing what they call in politics freezing pockets.
Because the donors are giving her money thinking she's going to run.
That means they're not going to have available money for other candidates if she doesn't.
And I don't think she's going to give it to them.
She's on her way to deciding.
We'll see.
We couldn't help her any more than we have.
I know.
She's got just a free ride so far from the media.
We're the biggest ones promoting her campaign.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
Great job.
Great job.
Yeah, CNN. Yeah, we're doing the best.
Yeah, we're doing everything we can to get her elected, the media.
I'll stick with media.
I'll tell you what, I'm going to give you a clip of the day, but you've got to play that clip again.
Okay, I'm happy.
Thank you.
Well, we can share this one if you want.
We can share it.
Since you had it, just didn't bring it to the party.
Take quite a while longer.
What happens to other folks who want a chance to run against her?
Because she's doing what they call in politics freezing pockets.
Because the donors are giving her money thinking she's going to run.
That means they're not going to have available money for other candidates if she doesn't.
And I don't think she's going to give it to them.
She's on her way to deciding.
We'll see.
We couldn't help her any more than we have.
I know.
She's got just a free ride so far from the media.
We're the biggest ones promoting her campaign.
And perfectly back time, I might add.
Okay.
And just to stick with the media for a moment, you'll remember or you'll recall my assertion about what happened with Roger Ailes and Fox News.
Yes.
And this, of course, just to refresh everyone's memory, we had this big blow-up between the seed man, Alex Jones, Ed Chunk, the Young Turks guy, and Roger Stone, who I think is long, now that I've looked into him more, he's been a political consultant for Trump, and he is Mr.
Dirty Tricks.
He is the Dirty Trickster.
And somehow he was involved in enabling or having Sean Hannity, which Jon Stewart hates Sean.
Everyone's all mad at Lumpy, they call him.
Sean Hannity, what a douchebag.
Don't call people names, by the way.
Yeah, Lumpy.
And the way I deconstructed it is because of this one interview that happened several months ago, where Donald Trump was egged on by Hannity to say, oh yeah, and there's the rape allegation against Bill Clinton.
That is, what is her name again?
That goes back to the late 70s.
I forget her name briefly.
Now, so the way we saw it is, you know, and Fox News, I think we've demonstrated throughout the years.
Someone asked me, what do you base that on?
I said, well, just Fox's actions.
They appear to be run by Democrats, or at least there are powerful forces who propagate the Democrat message when necessary.
And Roger Ailes was the man kind of controlling everything.
And he allowed it to go too far with his rape allegation.
Now, to add to that story, and I did not discover this, but it was brought to my attention, that MSNBC... I had a report.
It was an Andrea Mitchell report.
I'm going to play the report for you as it aired originally, I think, the day after this interview that caused this ruckus.
During an interview last night with Fox News' Sean Hannity, bringing up a discredited and long-denied accusation against former President Bill Clinton, dating back to 1978 when he was Arkansas Attorney General.
Now, they have since edited that report, which is available online, to this.
During an interview last night with Fox News' Sean Hannity, bringing up long-denied accusation against former President Bill Clinton, dating back to 1978 when he was Arkansas Attorney General.
Now, did you hear the omission?
No.
They omitted...
They discredited?
Yes, they took that out.
Here's the original again.
During an interview last night with Fox News' Sean Hannity, bringing up a discredited and long-denied accusation.
And here is the new version.
During an interview last night with Fox News' Sean Hannity, bringing up long-denied accusation.
You can even hear the edit.
It's so shitty.
It's very sloppy.
How about that?
Someone really wants this, you know, I guess that's MSNBC covering their ass because it hasn't been discredited.
Oh, yeah.
Long denied.
Yeah.
Long denied.
That's interesting.
Something else happened, which really didn't get the headlines it deserved, although I saw a lot of alternative media really trying to push it.
And again, tons of C-SPAN clips that I waded through.
This was about the payment to Iran.
Now, we've followed this money for a long time.
There's lawsuits and there's families who are going to get portions of this billions of dollars.
But apparently, we really are going to not just give back $500 million as...
As Kerry said, but it really is going to be 1.7 or 1.8 billion dollars.
But something that was not discussed and that was not explained to Congress when this deal was put together is that we would be sending the money on a pallet.
Yes, I have a clip of this too after you're done.
Okay, here is, well this is Senator Cotton just explaining it.
I and many others have been sharply critical of the President for not negotiating the release of all these hostages before he even sat down at the table to talk about the nuclear deal.
So I suspect that he wanted to have these hostages gone, even though the price of it was $400 million in small, unmarked bills flying into Iran on an unmarked aircraft like it was a drug cartel transaction, a legitimate negotiation between two governments.
Remember, four years ago when these talks first started, Iran's economy was suffering badly because of sanctions that Congress had imposed on Iran against the wishes of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the time, I should add.
The sanctions were tough enough that we could have set the terms of the negotiations, which included releasing all American hostages before we even sat down.
Now what do we have?
A bad nuclear deal and more Americans being held hostage and Iran with $400 million in cold, hard cash.
We just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Living by their words.
I want to get to your clip.
I have two more.
I'm going to play one, then your clip.
This is Brolf Blitzer.
I just like the way he set it up.
A landmark nuclear deal implemented a $400 million payment delivered and four Americans released.
First reported by the Wall Street Journal, all of the events transpired between the U.S. and Iran the very same day in January.
U.S. Marine Amir Hekmadi, Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, Pastor Saeed Abedini, and Nasratullah Khosravi Abedin.
Rutsari were all released on January 17th.
That's the exact same day an unmarked cargo plane delivered the first installment of $1.7 billion in cash.
Cash on a pallet.
Just like cash on a pallet.
Well, here's one of the networks and how they reported this because they do have a rationale or kind of an official explanation for all this and it's maybe dubious.
There's reporting today that the U.S. organized an airlift of $400 million in cash to Iran last January.
It came just as Tehran released several jailed Americans and as the nuclear agreement was being implemented.
The Wall Street Journal reports the money was part of settling a disputed 1970s arms deal.
Republicans called it ransom, but the White House rejected that.
This all came to a head at the same time because we are addressing and resolving longstanding concerns with Iranian behavior.
The United States, under President Obama, has not paid a ransom to secure the release of Americans unjustly detained in Iran, and we're not going to pay a ransom.
Officials say the payment had to be made in cash because international sanctions on Iran barred any other transfer method.
That's interesting.
Yes, that was interesting.
Before we deconstruct, Kirby, State Department spokeshole, got...
Grilled and drilled on this.
This was not made public.
And it appears that it was kept secret.
And it appears, sir, that it smells.
When you see video...
This is Fox News, by the way.
...at night of an unmarked jet with pallets of euros and...
Did you see the video?
It looked like Nina, Arkansas.
It was just pallets of money, unmarked land.
Beautiful.
Swiss franc.
Swiss franc.
It's Swiss francs.
Franck, Franck, Franck.
Because, you know, last time I was in Paris, you know, and then I went over to Switzerland and I got some Franck.
Lots of euros and Swiss Franck being unloaded as a payment for Iran.
It looks bad.
And it smells.
I'll let you speak to how you want to characterize video coverage of this.
What I can tell you is there is no secret about it.
The President spoke about it in January.
The Secretary spoke about it.
I spoke about it.
Everybody has been up front and honest about what happened here and why it happened and how it happened.
And oh, by the way, the teams that were negotiating the release of Our Americans was a completely separate team than was working in the Hague Tribunal to negotiate this claim.
Completely separate process.
It was simultaneously done.
The timing is all coincidence.
Coincidence?
I think not!
This is from the Wall Street Journal report.
This is very important.
In its story today, it talks about Iranian press reports.
And straight out of Tehran, they've quoted senior Iranian defense officials saying it was a ransom payment.
Now, are they wrong?
Yes, they are.
They're absolutely wrong.
They're completely wrong.
He can believe us, who talked about this on camera and on the record since January, or he can believe an unnamed anonymous defense official from Iran.
Let me think.
That's a tough one, isn't it?
You choose who you're going to believe to be more credible.
I'll take the Iranian.
Well, $1.3 billion to go, correct?
I love this.
That means what?
Is that more pallets of euros headed for Tehran?
I'm not going to get into the payment schedule.
I love that he keeps saying payment schedule.
That's a legal term, payment schedule, and that is how payments are made in the schedule.
But instead of saying we're shipping over pallets on unmarked planes, it's a payment schedule.
It sounds so much better.
I don't have that information available to me, but this was a compromise deal.
Oh, it was a deal.
And that was the money that was agreed to here, the $400 million plus the $1.3 billion in interest.
And oh, by the way, that was at a fixed rate, a compromised fixed rate that will prevent Iran from actually getting potentially billions more.
So here's how it went down.
And whether this was an exchange for hostages or not is, you know, neither here nor there really.
Um, but it, it went down like this.
Well, we want to give you this money, but you know, we're not going to give you all these extra billions because it's been holding onto it since the, it's in 1980.
And we're not going to give you all this interest.
So we're going to change.
We're going to fix the rate.
And then Iran comes back and says, Oh, screw that noise.
No, I'll tell you what, Make it 1.7 and send the first tranche over in cash.
And make it euros and franc.
How and when that money is going to get transmitted?
I don't have purview on that.
That's not the state department.
We're transmitting the money now.
That's a new word for flying in a plane.
Transmitting.
You do not.
I don't have the schedule here in front of me.
That's the next question in this story.
And you know the series events last January, it looks like it's ransom.
It looks like Tehran said, we'll go ahead and do this, but you have to give us the money, and you have to do it in cash.
We don't pay ransom.
We just don't pay ransom.
It is our policy.
This was not ransom.
Any suggestion that it had anything to do with ransom is absolutely and utterly false.
These were two separate processes run by two separate teams.
Now, yes, they were done simultaneously.
And so I understand the coincidental nature of the timing, but absolutely had nothing to do with ransom.
Do not pay nothing to see here.
Nothing to see here.
You know, for him, hold on, just responding to your clip, if it was because of the sanctions, that doesn't make any sense, because the sanctions said, no U.S. dollars, you can't use the U.S. financial system.
I know, because we talked about it and we looked into it.
But these were euros and francs, so they could have transmitted that from somewhere else, as far as I know.
Well, the thing that was a key to me in that whole thing was the Iranian newspaper saying it was ransom, which means it probably was.
But what's overlooked in this whole thing, besides the interest...
Is the inflation rate.
In the 1970s, the difference, if I get an inflation calculator, and I would say that if we had 400 billion, we're talking about 400 million, I'm sorry, not billion, but the 400 million, if it was part of some sort of arms deal, and it sounds about right, it's about the right number, it's about, from the money in the 1970s, it's about 10x.
Yeah.
Of what it is today.
And just by just sheer inflation, not interest, if you had interest to it, we probably owe them if we took their one point five billion, we probably owe them.
Ten and then at least 10 billion on inflation and then another taking the interest rate at the time of it.
And if you remember, in the late 70s, the interest rates were up to 20%.
It was incredibly high, yeah.
It would be an outrageous amount of money.
So, he's right.
I think we're screwing the Iranians.
Yeah.
I think what we're doing is fine.
It's a good deal.
It's a good deal.
But why can't they just explain it like that?
They're so stupid.
No, they're always covering everything up.
No, stop.
Because there are a bunch of criminals running the operation.
That's the deal, and they always think that way.
But you are now the spokeshole for the State Department.
You'd be so much better!
You could answer Matt Lee's question and have a beer five minutes later with a guy.
Wouldn't the world be a better place?
Well, besides guys like Kirby...
The guy's a classic.
Classic.
Yes, yes.
And by the way, I heard that the State Department, one of the Defense Department briefings, that, in fact, one of the clips you played was from the Defense Department.
If you listen to that clip again, he has that same clipped style, this arrogant style of talking.
Kirby comes from there.
What?
Kirby comes from there.
He was a spokesperson for the Defense Department.
So he picked it up at the Defense Department where they're just, they're total dicks.
Yeah.
Yes, they are.
Dick-a-douches.
New Judicial Watch.
I've been really looking into what these guys are doing.
They're kind of under the radar, but they are doing pretty incredible stuff.
Here, the headline, New Clinton Documents Raised Questions on Benghazi and Clinton Foundation.
This is kind of what I was alluding to earlier.
Two days after the Benghazi attack, Libyan president sought a meeting with Bill Clinton through the Clinton Foundation event.
I mean, they have released almost 300 pages of internal State Department documents that they've been trying to get under FOIA for years.
And it's really, it's too detailed and it wouldn't be just a bunch of names and connections.
But if you look at the work they're doing, and I put it in the show notes, you know, I think they're getting pretty close.
And to me, wouldn't it be crazy, or not crazy really, but it makes so much sense that the Clinton Foundation could be like a spider in the middle of the web and all gun running and money laundering and payments and corruption.
And everybody, not everybody, but hundreds of people are involved.
They're all a part of it.
And whatever happens, they can't let that come out.
And the easiest way is to not let Donald Trump become president.
I don't think they even care if Hillary becomes president, as long as not Donald Trump, because he will lock her up.
Yes, he could.
And everything will become crumbling down.
This is why, please, I pray for everyone, but Trump is on a hit list, a real two-to-the-head hit list.
If they can't kill his...
The support that he has.
They're going to have to kill something.
I'm going to explain Americans to people.
I'm American.
And not the American you see on TV, because we have elites in the media and what we call the coast elites, really.
And maybe they're a part of the big scam.
I don't know.
But they're like, oh, politically correct.
You have to be presidential.
It has to be like this.
They want some perfect movie.
And the rest of the country...
I think they look at Hillary Clinton and Americans know this.
They're like, she's like a TV dinner, you know?
It's the same stuff, the same piece and a little thing and it all tastes like the box that came in.
But to Americans, not the elites, Donald Trump is like mom's home cooking.
Doesn't look the same, never tastes exactly the same.
But you want to keep coming back from mom's home cooking.
That's what he's tapped into.
That's a good one.
The TV dinner versus mom's home cooking.
Yes.
And he's tapped into that.
So these elites in the Republican Party, there's 100 people who won't vote for Trump?
I think we are not...
There's a picture of Trump in his jet...
Eating Kentucky, a big bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Right, and there was a previous picture of him in his jet eating McDonald's.
Yes!
Because he, you know, I'm just taking him at face value.
He's not nuts.
I know plenty of guys like this.
The guy who does maintenance in my building is like this.
I finally got it.
He's very smart.
I think he's very up to speed on stuff.
But he's completely...
Yeah, that Kentucky Fried Dinner picture was...
I looked at that and I said, well, we know he's not getting paid for doing native advertising.
That is a very subtle, subtle piece of propaganda.
You think it's on purpose?
I do.
I actually think it's on purpose.
Very possible.
You think McDonald's was also on purpose?
Yeah.
Well, actually, maybe here's the other possibility.
The McDonald's one got so much attention that maybe he said, wait a minute, this is not a bad way to communicate with people, but I'm not like an elite jerk-off.
I'm not having a, you know, a glass of Dom Perignon on my jet.
A guy with a 757 would have Dom Perignon on the jet.
I would.
I would.
And chicks to serve it to us, John.
You and me.
And hookers.
Mile High Club!
And so, there's no...
He's got a bucket, one of those buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
I know.
It's not positioned perfectly, which is also good.
And then he's eating, and there's no...
And he doesn't drink anyway, so he wouldn't be Dom Perignon.
So he's having, you know...
It's got to be.
Because these pictures go around.
And...
I don't know.
I mean, the whole thing, I think you're right.
And I think he would go after Hillary after this.
And he'd probably go after a lot of people.
I think he's a guy that just would do it.
He would just go after these people that have been lying.
They've been lying about him mostly.
That's his whole...
I mean, now that I look at him in a different light, like, this guy is not...
He's definitely not an elite.
Oh, my best friends are workers, bricklayers.
Yeah, I gotcha.
He also talks in their language.
Somebody pointed this out.
He says that Trump, for a guy who could be an elite, because he's been in the building business forever, he talks in the language of the middle class and the working class.
Yeah, I said that to you on the last show.
You did, right.
His type of speeches are all casual, off the cuff, and yeah, you can always pull something out of that off the cuff one hour that he delivers to these large audiences and make him look like a complete idiot.
So...
Let's just presume that we're not seeing people who really understand or have affinity with Trump.
We're not seeing that.
We're just not seeing it.
And why would you?
It's much more fun to show the KKK guy and people yelling, nigger!
That's much more fun, of course.
And that's everywhere.
That kind of racism is everywhere.
But since they can't show that, I think people may be surprised what happens.
Yes, I think that I wouldn't be surprised if either of the candidates won, but I definitely would not be shocked if Trump won.
It wouldn't even surprise me.
Here's a report that came in that's concerning.
A source within the New York Police Department has reported that an armed 62-year-old man tried to sneak into the Trump Tower late Tuesday night The suspect was found with a semi-automatic handgun fitted with a, it says silencer here, but that would be a suppressor, and has been identified as Barry Lee Bush, a former Newark, New Jersey FBI agent, who actually should have been dead since 2007.
And then the story just goes back and forth a bit about the weapon and, you know, how does this happen?
They called the FBI, and according to the spokesman at the Newark FBI field office, this guy was killed in the line of duty in April 2007.
So I don't know who this ghost was.
Well, that would be a clip of the day.
If it was a clip.
So, you know, Silencer in Trump Tower.
Okay.
I've seen this movie.
I've seen it.
Pim Fortin.
I've seen it.
I'm telling you.
Tears will come.
Yeah.
Well, you can blame the media.
Here's a couple of things that are kind of funny.
You can't blame the media.
Yeah, I blame the media for everything now.
I blame the education system.
Well, there's that.
So you remember the thing, I think it was, I tweeted it, everybody tweeted it, it was very funny, it was a graffiti piece of Hillary on the side of a building in Melbourne, Australia, of her in a bikini, red, white, and blue bikini, and she's big tits hanging, it's a horrible thing.
Is this a real picture?
What?
A real picture?
No, it was graffiti.
Oh, graffiti.
Okay, I'm sorry.
The guy who knew how to draw, but this was taken from a photo.
I've seen this photo of that shot with somebody photoshopped Hillary in a bikini.
I'm looking at it now.
This is a big piece of graffiti where you have to get permission because you have to be on a ladder.
It's art that's done.
It's Hillary.
And so apparently the city got burked about this.
So the guy came back and told him to take this down.
So the guy came back and just painted a giant, it's not a burka, but a natic, whatever it's called.
Niqab.
Niqab all over and just with Hillary's eyes at the top.
And now it's a big Muslim picture.
It still works.
It still works.
And then the city got more irked.
And so here's the clip about this.
This is, I think, a two-parter.
Or is it?
No, this is the Melbourne Hillary graffiti.
This is the story how it ended.
Now, this innocuous-looking wall in Melbourne, Australia, has brought one graffiti artist into the international spotlight and caused quite a lot of trouble.
Now, it hasn't always looked like this.
Under the layer of paint, there is a woman wearing a Muslim kneecap, but that wasn't the original work either.
This provocative image was.
The local council thought the picture of a bikini-clad Hillary Clinton was offensive to women and ordered it to be destroyed.
We asked the artist behind the work why he chose the kneecap to cover Hillary Clinton.
They weren't happy.
Their official statement is that it wasn't because it's Hillary.
It was because it's a woman and she's near naked.
I don't quite understand why that's offensive by any means.
I mean, she's not naked.
So I thought, well...
Why don't I cover her with the kneecap?
Why not?
If I do that, I can't say that it's offensive because it's a beautiful Muslim woman now.
It's not Hillary Clinton anymore.
It's now a Muslim woman.
They just came down and cleaned it off anyway.
Either it was the council or the real estate, you know, who basically controls the building.
They've leaned on them and intimidated them into cleaning off the mural.
Well, Hillary Clinton is not the only U.S. presidential candidate to get the same treatment by the artist.
This picture of a naked Donald Trump appeared on another Melbourne wall.
Although it was changed a little, local authorities did not cover it completely as in the case with Hillary's picture.
Gillib Maupin hit the streets of Washington, D.C. to find out what people there thought of the controversy.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I don't know why people get offended by that kind of stuff.
Of course it is not offensive and it doesn't look like anybody.
It just looks like some public person.
It could be anybody.
It doesn't really kind of defame somebody or put someone down.
Nice effect.
I like that at the end.
Stupid.
So this was like a big deal.
They left the naked Trump up.
And so it's obvious that the Aussies are all in with Hillary too.
So even though they don't even vote.
Yeah, well...
They want to stay in the five eyes.
The media has really done a great job of promoting the memes.
Just doing whatever they feel is right.
These people believe it, John.
They believe it.
They believe they're righteous.
They are, in their own right, social justice warriors.
They're all trying to be the hero.
They're all trying to be Woodward and Bernstein.
Bring them down.
Bring them down.
It's not working.
The media does not have the power it used to have.
No, and if you look at the commercials on the media, especially the mainstream media, it's all stuff for people who are going to die.
We already know that.
It's all pharmaceutical.
You've got some pills you've got to take.
It's horrible.
You've got leg wrappings you've got to buy.
It's like for everybody, it's like 80.
If they even get to the polls, it's going to be a miracle.
The New York banker is seriously looking into this for me.
It's that, but they also have the reverse mortgages.
That's my favorite.
And now they have...
Resell your house.
Yeah, but wait.
There was a reverse mortgage, like a new superstar.
Tom Selleck.
Tom Selleck is now selling reverse mortgages.
And I said to my New York banker friend, I said, dude, get this set up because it's going to work.
Hi, I'm Adam Curry.
You probably remember from MTV. You've probably also heard about this thing called reverse mortgages.
You think it's about you getting ripped off and your house stolen?
Not at all.
Let me explain how it works.
And you can send off for this DVD. You want to make so much money, John?
And we'll have all these people's homes.
It's even better.
The property's worth a lot.
In the meantime, kick that old lady out of there.
We'll just try to keep getting by.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
In the morning.
And we do have a few people to thank for show 848.
848.
Yeah.
I saved all my clips in 748 for some reason.
Can't figure that out.
So let's start with thanking a few people, starting with Michael Bramble in Draper, Utah.
$133.33.
Elliot Serena, 12345, and he's in Cobb, California.
I didn't know there was a place called Cobb, California.
I don't even know where that is.
I think it would be someplace else.
Then we got John Robinet, one of our regulars at $100.
Von Klitschka at Salem, Oregon, $100.
DH Slammer on behalf of Dame Bang Bang and his buddy.
Did you see the picture he sent us, Sir DH Slammer?
No.
I did not post it because it has the state on it as well.
He has a license plate, which is T-Y-F-Y-C. Oh, thank you for your courage.
Yeah, how awesome is that?
And I said awesome because it is kind of awesome.
Definitely.
I sent him a note.
He sent me the donation with a Popsicle.
Not a possible, but one of those things you lick.
A lolly?
A lolly.
Yeah, that's what it is.
A lollipop?
But it's made with ants.
Oh, no!
No.
Did you try it?
What do you mean to try it?
You could make your own ant lollipop factory.
Yeah, you just lick a lollipop and leave it out.
I'm putting the ant song at the end of show.
And then Sir Andrew Knight of the Mountain was also part of this somehow.
And I've got the...
I didn't unwrap it, and I'm going to take some pictures of it and post it on Twitter so people know what...
It was disgusting.
It's called a hot pop or something, because I guess some sort of ant is very spicy.
Fabulous.
It's a spicy ant.
Very spicy ant.
Are they milked first?
Are they milked for their ant milk to drink before you eat the spicy ant?
I don't know.
There's not a lot of details.
Alright, onward.
Sir, up arrow in some place in Norway.
Nairsness.
Nairsness?
Yeah, Nairsness.
Nairsness.
He's 99.99.
Chris Foster, 82.82 from Houston, Texas.
Charles Brocchetti, he's in Korea.
Incheon.
82.16.
Gregory Worley in Lynchburg, Virginia.
I was going to say hi to him.
In Korean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's got a note here.
Here it is.
Here it is.
There you go.
Hello.
He says in his note, thanks for the greatest podcast in the world.
I cannot live without it.
In the spring semester, you inspired me to get my students to do podcasts for their final exam.
After one girl thanked me, saying that she could now see a way to achieve her lifelong dream to be a journalist.
Aw.
How nice.
He's got some requests for the end of the show.
Yeah, I'll put them in somewhere.
Okay, whatever.
Don't care.
Robert Wood in Saginaw, Michigan, 81-16.
That's after Gregory Worley, 81-16.
Joe Schwartzberger, Schwartzbauer in Florissant, Missouri, 81-16.
Bradley Carrier in Lexington, Michigan.
Hmm.
Uh, 80...
Oh, wait, boob.
He does want to call out to, uh...
Go ahead.
He says, please call out Nick the Redneck Jew as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
There you go.
That's on you, Bradley.
Monomy mouse.
I think it's monominominus. Monominominus. Monominominus. No, monominominus. Monominominus.
Manamonimouse.
Now, he did have a note that he's going to become a knight, and so I figured we could at least read his note.
All right.
And I don't know if I should use his name or not.
It's Eric, but I don't know.
I'm not going to say his last name.
Don't say his last name.
Manamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanamanaman As I figured out that my PayPal activity, I've already cleared $1,000 without the individual checks or this boob donation.
I've been listening for around four years and have never missed an episode.
It's not hyperbole to say that the BPITU has changed my life and brought me much-needed sanity.
It's been said in other letters lately, but this is all handwritten, by the way.
But the analysis just keeps on getting better and better.
And then at the end, maybe we can put on the mac and cheese thing and protect their freedoms and fear is freedom thing.
He likes that, too.
We're selling our office building and our dental practice in the next six months.
So can I get a proven jobs karma?
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll put Jobs Karma at the end.
The proven one.
I know it's not an associate sponsorship, but anyway.
Yeah, I'll do that.
No problem.
Yeah, the proven one.
Proven one.
Jason Becker in Austin, Texas, right up the street from you.
That's right.
Came in with 6789.
Eric Mahoney in Hamilton, Ontario.
Struggling, starving grad student in Scandinavia.
So we'll give him some karma as well.
Oh, definitely.
Eric Mahoney in Hamilton, Ontario.
That's the struggling student.
5846.
Phil Colburn in Warramoo, New South Wales.
I think that's the greatest name of towns in Australia.
5222.
Kelsey Morrison Atkins in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Now that is in honor of her husband, diehard listener and promoter.
Happy anniversary, Brad.
May this show continue to disrupt my studies.
If you're ever known for anything, that would be fantastic.
Now we have $50 donors, a name and location, starting with Mark Lentz in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, Harris-Frankel in Irvine, Texas, Lucas Lundy in Tacoma, Washington, Sir Vasquez of the Mile High Club, of the Mile High in Denver, Colorado.
Sir Shane Rozdilski, another Saskatoonian, 50.
Josh Daly in Portland, Oregon.
Justin Barber in Los Angeles, California.
Eric, what is it?
Eric Sleer, I guess.
Sleer, I think.
In Chicago, that's a short list, but that finishes up our other producer supporters for show 848.
Yes, and we thank everyone, also those who came in under $50, usually for reasons of anonymity.
You can always put it on your note, put it at the beginning of your note.
And also for brevity, to be honest with you.
And we appreciate the people who stepped up today.
That is a help.
And we're going to continue to do it.
We've got another show coming up on Sunday.
And I should mention, that show I will be doing from Red Bank, New Jersey, on Sunday.
As tomorrow I leave for New Jersey, there's a big New Jersey, I'll call it 80s and 90s music industry party.
We're like, all the Jersey people?
So you can imagine?
Maybe you can't imagine.
Yes, I can imagine that half the rock and roll business has something to do with Jersey.
Yes, so I shall be reporting on that.
Since the do-up days.
Yeah, that's right.
Since the do-up.
I think that's the genesis.
Jersey boys, yeah.
Cool thing.
But, you know, South Jersey is a little different.
But yeah, so I will be reporting on that.
And then we should probably mention that the Thursday after that, we're not going to do a show.
We're going to produce something else.
I've got an idea that I want to discuss after today's show, whether you want to do that or not, but I guarantee it'll be dynamite.
We're taking just a couple days off, and that Thursday is really a good one to do.
But there will be something.
Oh, and we'll always have something, for sure.
Yeah, something comes out.
Yeah, I know that you were working on some things, so we'll certainly talk about that on Sunday.
In the meantime, please, please remember us for this coming Sunday show at Dvorak.org slash NA. A little bit of Jobs Karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
You've got karma.
We say happy birthday to Chris Foster and Lucas Lundy, who turned 33 years old on August 1st.
Congratulations from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!
Ah, I had one more make good from Shannon Lysien.
L-Y-S-I-E-N. You didn't get the pictures from Eric?
This was the redhead?
No, I got the pictures.
I just haven't opened those pictures yet.
You need to look at the redhead right now.
I should look at it now?
Yeah, I think so.
Hi, guys.
Love the show.
Could I get some of that sweet NA jobs karma from my hard-working husband, David?
He needs that magic juju.
Well, he just gave it to him, of course.
And always good if you chuck in the 33 is the magic number jingle.
I'm usually on the $4 a week subscription and urge more people to join up Lest they be a douchebag.
It may be small, but it counts.
It always puts a smile on my face when I see the payment go through every week, because I know I'm supporting the best podcast in the universe.
Keep it up, boys!
Shannon from Camden South, New South Wales, Australia.
Have you seen her picture yet?
Which of the two is it?
The redhead in the water?
Is it the first one or the second one?
I think it's the second one.
In the bathing suit?
With the lizard?
No, the other one.
They're both in bathing suits.
The non-lizard bathing suit.
The redhead.
The really redhead.
Well, I'm just...
Just clicking and clicking.
The other one's a good look.
Oh, yes.
Well, that's a step beyond what's necessary.
No, no.
She looks like an actress.
I can't remember.
Yeah, from...
Margo Herber.
No, no.
The girl from Fifth Element.
Oh, a little bit.
Yeah, well, that's because of the hair.
Yeah, I agree.
What was her name in the movie?
I don't know.
Yeah, she's very attractive.
Yes.
The other girl's good looking.
They're both attractive.
Even the lizard was kind of good looking.
Yeah, but this one's a more risque picture.
I think that's what you're talking about.
I think my kid has been around too long.
I'm starting to like lizards now.
I don't know what to do.
All right, we have one title change for today's program.
That is Sir Kevin Dills, and Sir Kevin becomes the Baron of Mecklenburg County.
The Baron of Mecklenburg County.
So we're very happy with that.
And you can check it out on the Peerage map at itm.im slash peerage.
And we have two knights.
Here's my blade.
If you can please bring yours over.
Okay, here it comes.
Where?
I don't hear it.
I'm pulling!
That's what she said.
All right, please, to the stage, Bill Bauer and Manamanamanouse Mouse.
Both of you have contributed to the best podcast in the university amount of $1,000 or more.
We're very happy for that, and we really appreciate your support.
And because of that, you now join the elite circle.
It is the roundtable of the No Agenda Knights and the Dames.
And I am very pleased to pronounce the KB, Sir William of Morningside and Sir Manamanamanouse.
Gentlemen, for you, we have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
Cookies and vodka, tacos and tequila, kilts and kilter-lifter ale, mess slots and moonshine.
We've got Legos and leg warmers.
We've got sparkling cider and escorts.
We've got mud and meat.
We also have ginger ale and gerbils.
All of that can be found at noagendanation.com slash rings.
Tell Eric the size you want, give him your address, and we'll take care of the rest for you.
Everyone else who goes to noagendanation.com is where you can find the entire MP3 archive of every single show we've done, including the in-between shows, etc.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I think one more thing needs to be discussed.
Uh-oh!
Yeah, exactly.
I'll have to play the song.
May I have your attention, please?
Oh, Zika!
Oh, Zika!
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika!
A little baby with a little bitty head.
With a baby with a small head.
They're going to have to make a little head.
You watch.
Oh!
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Yeah.
Where's the money?
1.9 billion dollars.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Yeah.
Where's the money?
Let's have it now.
Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
Yeah.
Where's the money?
Small heads are coming.
We're going to do it.
You watch.
Now you probably saw in the news, you saw...
Let's see.
33.
Always nice to have the magic number.
We had 33 military personnel all of a sudden have Zika virus.
Always nice to have that.
And we are still within this one square mile of Miami.
It's all very, very scary.
I mean, my goodness, it's in Miami.
Here's the CDC advising pregnant women to stay away.
We've been looking at the situation very closely every day.
And what we found over the weekend was that there were both more mosquitoes than we had hoped and more cases than we had previously known about.
Therefore, there's a specific one-mile radius area, which is around the 150-meter area, where we're advising pregnant women not to travel, and if they live or work in that area, to do everything they can to protect themselves against mosquito bites.
One square mile area in Miami, Florida.
This particular mosquito spreads Zika in a very particular way.
It only happens when the mosquito bites someone who has Zika, and then about a week later, the mosquito can spread Zika if it bites someone else with Zika.
It doesn't get into the mosquito population.
It's not in nature, in the environment as, for example, the West Nile virus is.
So it's a very different entity.
Any sense of when you might have a vaccine?
Vaccine's going to take time, at least a year or two.
But we have ways to control mosquitoes, and we also need to work on that, because mosquito control can protect us not just against Zika, but against other infections as well.
And even with the vaccine, we're going to need better ways to track and control mosquitoes.
So I have a clip that is, I think, much better than the one you just played because it brings in the scam.
Ah, well, I have more clips.
It was just the background.
Yeah, we're going to play your scam.
I love that.
But before you do, wait.
Wait.
On the Horowitz show, the DHM Plus show, Andrew knows about this area.
Yeah, he lives near there, doesn't he?
No, he lives in Fort Lauderdale, but it's close enough.
And he says that the shame of this whole thing by blocking off this area from women is it has a bunch of hipster, creative, the kind of restaurants you're talking about in Austin.
Oh, not anymore.
Very, these very upscale, very nice, super, there's some parts that are bad, but he says these places are just going to be wiped out.
And they're apparently the kind of places that you'd go to.
Yeah, well, but hipsters who might want to get pregnant at some point.
Yeah, no, it's doomed.
The area's doomed.
They've screwed these people.
Did he have a theory on that?
A theory on it being that particular area because it's just douchebags, hipster douchebags, or what?
No, he had no theory.
It was just an observation.
Well, of course, what it really is with all these scary things coming around, and now they're not even saying microcephaly barely.
It's just like, oh, Zika, and you get a kid with a small head.
They're skipping the whole microcephaly part, and there's also increasing evidence that there is no correlation between microcephaly and the Zika virus.
And on top of that, what is this bullcrap?
They've had this thing since 1956, and it'll still take two years to come up with a vaccine, please.
No, this is a scam.
I will reiterate it one more time.
Those $1.9 billion meant for Ebola.
Sadly, Ebola got solved.
We still had the $1.9 billion that was going to...
In promissory notes.
Promissory notes, a lot of it, half a billion from the UK alone who have not paid.
And the problem with the not paying is not that, you know, we need the money anyway because, you know, Ebola was solved apparently, some magical thing, it just went away, it's no problem.
We were all really afraid.
We watched people landing in planes.
He's got Ebola.
We're all going to die.
That didn't happen.
But the money that was promised in had already promised on the outside to all kinds of interesting groups.
A lot of it's going to the National Institute for Health.
Of course.
That's the grant money.
That's big, big money.
That's university money.
There's a lot of people who want that money.
It's grant money.
It's grant money, mainly.
Here is the clip.
The Zika BS. This is where they put the story you just had and they make it into what they really want to produce.
This is the professionals doing their number.
But we just played the clip.
No, the Zika BS from CBS. Ah, I'm sorry.
Here we go.
Based on what the mayor said, we called the governor's office, but they would not respond directly to the mayor's remarks.
Charlie, effective immediately.
Pregnant women can get a Zika test for free.
All they have to do is go to a county health department anywhere in the state.
Thanks, David.
Today, the Obama administration sent an urgent letter to Congress warning that unless there is quick action, funding for the fight against Zika will run out in a few weeks.
The NIH has just begun a new vaccine trial, and Dr.
John LaPook is here with more about that.
John, tell us exactly what this trial will do.
Well, Charlie, if this vaccine works, it will be a very big deal.
Yesterday, the first of 80 healthy volunteers got vaccinated.
Now, they're between the ages of 18 and 35, men and women, not pregnant, but they're at an age where they could be thinking about it.
And the main idea will be to test the vaccine for safety and to see if it can prime the body to fight Zika virus.
When will it be ready?
Dr.
Tony Fauci, the head of infectious diseases for the NIH, said not before 2018.
Still, there's one big problem.
Unless there is new funding from Congress, which hasn't happened so far, the vaccine trial will run out of money and they will not be able to proceed to the next phase.
And on top of that, he kind of glossed over it.
I looked into this free Zika testing.
Yeah, that ain't free.
The company that makes them is Roche.
Rush, rush.
And it is not even approved by the FDA, but under the Investigational New Drug Application Protocol, they are allowed to use this so people can get tested.
This is being paid for.
It's being paid for.
Not by people individually, but the government is paying for it.
And in addition to that, we just heard that a new commercial Zika test It's now being tested in South Florida at $500 a pop.
So this is not free.
Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon.
This is not free.
And yeah, that is the main...
Now the message is, oh, if we don't get the money, then we won't be able to create a vaccine and we're all going to die.
Your baby will have a small head.
I guess vaccine trials have come to an end if you don't get money for Zika.
Then you just all have to die.
Then it's just not going to happen.
I have a couple quick clips showing how mainly the Democrats are saying, even though the Democrats are the ones who blocked the bill from passing the last time because the Republicans snuck some stuff in there they didn't like.
But they've blocked it.
But just to complete the story, that money is not going to anything to stop Zika.
The minute the money is transferred, and I believe it will happen one way or the other, it'll go away.
It will solve it.
You won't have the stories anymore.
It's exactly like Ebola.
It's the same thing.
And it was the president himself who signed the order saying that money for Ebola should be now going to Zika.
And it was just a Hail Mary because everyone, particularly the Democrats, have promised all this money to the Dutch Army gets, what is it, $7 million here.
Everyone's getting some money.
Everybody's getting some money.
Don't give a crap about pregnant women with babies with small heads.
Here's CBS. In the meantime, Congress went on its summer recess without approving funds to fight Zika.
Now Senate Democrats want members to cut their brakes short.
Dr.
Fauci, as Gail mentioned, the White House asked for a big funding, I think $1.9 billion back in February.
That has not been approved.
Congress is now in recess.
How big a problem is it that that money is not available to fight this disease?
Well, it fundamentally is a big problem to begin with.
We are very soon going to completely run out of money, and then things are going to start to slow down.
So it really is unfortunate that that money has not been appropriate.
Should they come back early from break, as is being suggested?
Well, I don't know what the mechanism is going to be, Gail, but something needs to be done.
They announced, I've got to come back early from break.
People are dying.
It's in Miami, I tell you.
Here's NBC. As Senate Democrats push for Congress to end its recess and approve emergency Zika funding, officials here in Miami are wasting no time focusing on the possibility of more undiagnosed cases.
But the $1.9 billion in federal aid proposed by President Obama has stalled in Congress.
And now Harris County says local funding is running low.
Oh, now local funding is running low.
We're out of cash.
We got problems.
Well, we got to ratchet this up.
I know.
Why don't we start to make mosquitoes sound like terrorists?
Do you think that'll work, John?
Would that be an idea?
Oh, absolutely.
It's got to.
Let's try this one.
Identified cases are attributed to homegrown mosquitoes that have affected a neighborhood in Miami.
It's homegrown mosquitoes, I tell you.
That's how we're going to do it.
Just make everybody afraid.
This is true.
This is hands down a scam.
I think it's one of the best that I've seen.
This is almost like desperation.
They had, you know, they got this money, this earmarked that they...
Well, no, the problem is they don't have the money, so my question is...
No, I mean, but the earmarks are there.
It's like they don't have the money to give to the Dutch Army.
You've got to go back to that when you did the original report and read the list again.
I probably have.
In other words, you should clip yourself.
Clip myself.
Clip yourself.
Go back and find it.
Now, do you know how to do it now?
No, okay.
Go back and find it, because it was pretty much of an eye-opener, and now that this is continuing, because everybody in Congress must know what's going on, and that's why the Republicans voted no, but then they voted yes, so they put their own stuff in there.
It's got nothing to do with Zika.
And then the Democrats voted that down, and now everybody is like, everyone knows.
What you read is just the bill.
I mean, it's just you read from the bill, and obviously this money's going every place but Zika.
And I'd like to ask our producers to find that for me.
You can probably find that on noagendaplayer.com and send me the link so I can clip it, because I don't even remember what show it was in.
People who listen to the show...
We've been doing this ever since the first mention of the 1.9 you were in the mood to read a bill.
It happens from time to time.
Like, oh, you know, I got nothing to do.
I could watch some porn, or I think I'll read a bill.
Yeah, you read the bill and you found all that crap in there and it's fantastic.
You can just see the scam going on.
I mean, anyone who really likes this show that we do has to appreciate this ongoing scam over the Zika funding.
Which started with Ebola.
Ebola.
Ebola.
A little automania for a moment.
Turkey.
My intelligence advisors tell me that U.S. forces around the world are on high alert because of the situation within Sirlik Air Base.
This continues.
Which has nukes, by the way.
Yes, 40 of them.
Julian Assange also discussed this.
And he brings something up that I remember seeing.
In fact, I got messages about this before it was even reported.
So that would mean that it came from military or military intelligence.
Because I remember when it was going down, the failed coup, I remember this report coming out and Julian Assange, I think, nails it.
One of the key independent points of evidence, not coming from interrogation in Turkey where people might have been placed under duress, is that in the middle of the coup, NBC published that Erdogan was on his way to Germany to seek asylum.
And they say this was told to them by a U.S. military source.
So what the hell is going on there?
Because that went all the way around the world and was used to further the chance of the success of the coup within Turkey.
Because if the president has fled, then he's lost control.
I remember that report coming out.
Do you remember this?
Yeah, I remember it, too.
I remember it.
So that was a setup.
It just points more in the direction of us being responsible for it.
I hate to say it, but we suck.
Yeah, we haven't been doing the job we used to do, which actually sucked then, too, so never mind.
Of course, we had a...
Regime change.
Yes, we're very good at that.
Yeah.
We had a stabbing in London...
Which, you know, it's great.
Next week, I'll be seeing one of my British friends.
I think the stabbing of a news story was the one that got Michael Savage kicked off of Facebook.
Oh, okay.
Well, this one...
No, this just happened last night.
Oh, it was last night.
There was a stabbing last night?
Je suis London is spreading on Twitter after a knife-wielding man attacks pedestrians in a central square, killing one woman and injuring five others in the English capital.
Authorities say they are investigating a possible terror act.
A 19-year-old man was arrested shortly after 10.39pm and is currently in police custody at hospital.
Early indications suggest that mental health is a significant factor in this case and that is one major line of inquiry.
But of course at this stage we should keep an open mind regarding motive and consequently terrorism as a motivation remains but one line of inquiry for us to explore.
Alrighty.
Oh, don't look over here.
That wasn't terrorism.
He came from Denmark, born in Somalia.
Nah, that can't be terrorism.
This was a continuation.
No, this is a continuation of the meme that we caught very early.
Crazy people, mental.
Yeah, these aren't terrorists.
They're just nuts.
They are mental.
And it's important.
To note, in the protocols, and this goes back to the beginning of this program, it started for me when I read the entire Lisbon Treaty, which had been voted down by the Dutch and by the French, had a do-over, and like, oh, okay, and then Ireland didn't want to do it, do-over, oh, okay, then we're done.
The Lisbon Treaty, the replacement for the Constitution of the European Union, states in the protocols very specifically, you may be incarcerated, because it has a whole human rights protocol, you may be incarcerated if you have a communicable disease, Or if you are mentally unstable or unhealthy.
They can take you off the street, pick you up, and lock you up with no other reason than you have a communicable disease, which could be the flu.
We've talked about this in context of the flu.
It could be the flu.
It could be AIDS. It could be you're mentally unstable.
And that's very subjective, of course.
Lots of people think I'm mentally unstable.
Mm-hmm.
Do not do that to me, Dvorak.
Mm-hmm.
So that this is happening in the European Union and they're using this crazy meme.
Be careful.
Be careful.
Because, you know, of course, after the Brexit, maybe it's different.
I think the UK in general is pretty crazy with its laws.
You know, don't tweet about terrorists or you get arrested.
Or no hate speech.
You get arrested.
But I'm wary of that.
And yes, it is exactly...
In fact, why don't we get the...
Let me get that clip one more time.
Who was that guy again?
He was Richard Stengel.
Here we go, Richard Stengel.
He is Undersecretary of State Public Affairs.
Here was his quote.
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...
Every day there are bus burnings, car burnings throughout the EU, particularly near the migrant camps and refugee centers.
It's a mess.
We're only hearing a small bit.
Yeah, we're not getting much.
And even the foreign news services aren't reporting what they could.
No, not at all.
Well, we can't finish this show without at least talking about the COP. Yeah, this is...
Actually, I got the paperwork on him.
What do you have on him?
I have a clip.
Okay.
This is just one of the generalized clips about the cop that was busted as ISIS, and they got him arrested, and this whole thing's like a big...
It's just...
And it also has a very screwy kind of ironic, but...
Cognitive dissonance ending to this clip because it doesn't really make any sense if you listen to it twice, but this cop busted his ISIS. A troubling first to tell you about tonight.
A Washington, D.C. transit officer accused of trying to help ISIS by coming to the aid of a man he thought was traveling overseas to join that terror group.
This is the first U.S. law enforcement officer to face such a charge.
NBC's Pete Williams now with the story.
Police and federal agents today searched the suburban Washington home of Nicholas Young, a 13-year veteran of the D.C. Area Transit Police, accused of helping a man he thought went overseas to join ISIS, but who was actually working undercover for the FBI. Investigators say the FBI has been watching Young and his house in Fairfax, Virginia, for nearly six years.
Ever since a friend was arrested for trying to join a terror group in Somalia, and another friend was arrested for plotting to set off a bomb at the U.S. Capitol, neighbors say they kept their distance.
We knew something was weird about him.
We just never expected it to be, you know, something like this.
Court documents say Young was interviewed by the FBI five times over the years, telling them he collected Nazi memorabilia, had a German eagle tattooed on his neck, and twice went to Libya to join rebels fighting the Qaddafi regime.
Investigators say he met 20 times with the FBI operative posing as an ISIS convert and bought $245 worth of gift cards, the man requested, to buy apps that scramble text messages, making them impossible to intercept.
You have to look at all potential threats seriously, and you certainly have to try to disrupt those that appear to be developing in dangerous ways.
No comment from Young, who appeared briefly today in court, or his lawyer.
The FBI says he told friends he was constantly on guard, fearing he was under surveillance, apparently unaware that he really was.
Yeah,.26 in the affidavit says, hey man, I don't want to talk out here because the FBI, they send informants out, and he's talking to the informant.
And that was in the report.
It was like so meta.
Very recursion.
Fantastic.
Beautiful.
Hey man, I hear the FBI come out here and they'll try and honeypot you, so be careful what you say.
So the FBI guy, I guess, was a sales type, and he talked this guy, this idiot, into buying him $250 worth of gift cards so he can supposedly use it for something or other that has something to do with ISIS. That was his crime.
Well, they had other things.
He traveled to...
I think he went through Turkey to go into Syria.
But he was in Syria, and he had body armor and all kinds of stuff, and that was seen by customs, whatever.
You can't really stop him for that.
And then he came back, but he said he was out there fighting with the guys who were being funded by the U.S. So he was actually...
But that was his visit to Libya, wasn't it?
Libya, I'm sorry, Libya, yeah.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
No, but...
I dunno, the whole thing is odd.
I have no other deconstructs.
I mean, reading the FBI report, the guy clearly was...
He had thoughts that I think were impure, but the actual act of...
Because that's what he was arrested and indicted under, was for financing an FTO, foreign terrorist organization, and that was done through the gift cards at the suggestion of the FBI. The guy definitely needed help, because he was kind of...
From what I read, he was more...
Of a sympathizer than the other losers who get reeled in by the FBI to do this.
Yeah.
So it feels like he was real, but again, they gotta entrap the guy in order to get anything done.
Yeah, he'll get off.
I will leave us with a clip that throws back to our previous show.
Well, you got one clip left?
Yeah, just one.
Well, let me donut that with two clips.
Donut me.
Donut me, man.
Donut me.
I just got the biggest kick out of this story because this is the future of the EU as I see it.
This is the Berlin.
You know about the Berlin Airport?
What's going on?
No, I don't.
I should.
I feel like I should.
You should.
From the cursed child now to cursed construction.
Berlin's new airport is becoming a byword for mass incompetence and shirking of responsibility amongst those supposedly responsible.
Six years late and still with no sign of opening and costs overrunning in the billions of euros.
Construction had recently been halted due to lack of funding, but now the EU has given the green light for a 1 billion euro public credit and a guarantee for the same amount.
The money will go on upgrading the fire and smoke safety systems, as well as expanding the new airport's facilities.
It's already too small for the traffic it'll have to take, assuming it does finally open.
The earliest it's expected to open is in 2017.
At least that's what they're saying now.
So it's already too small?
Yeah.
It's six years overdue and it's already too small.
Wow.
It's government then, I guess, who's building it.
I guess.
It couldn't be anything else.
But, I mean, the Chinese would have opened six airports by now.
Yeah.
The way they throw them up.
I think it's all those new regulations and stuff that the EU's been cranking out.
I think it's stultifying.
It's got to be.
Anyway, your turn.
Yes.
This is a callback to the Clean Food Program and the clip you brought to the party.
And I think this may be related, because these things don't just crop up for no reason.
The President just signed into law the Deny Americans the Right to Know, better known as...
Hold on.
The Dark Act.
Long way to go for that.
Yes, it is the Deny Americans the Right to Know, for some reason called the Dark Act.
Which is very stupid, considering we wanted to use the dark meme for Trump and the RNC. It's confusing to people.
But it may not be all that we think it is.
The so-called Dark Act is now a part of American law, and we are waiting to see it at work in the produce aisles and store shelves in grocery stores across the country.
The legislation requires food packages sold in the US to have the so-called proper labeling if they contain genetically modified organisms.
But what constitutes proper labeling of GMOs?
Well, that's up for debate.
My next guest is here to point out holes in the law which could leave consumers with the short end of the stick.
What should people know about this very far-reaching law that's just been passed?
It's fake.
It means nothing.
Yeah, imagine that.
Something in Washington not actually doing what it's meant to do.
How is it fake?
It's not going to truly label GMOs.
There's going to be exemptions from that standard.
There's a question as to what actually GMOs are in a regulatory framework, whether gene editing would come under it, which it wouldn't as far as we know.
She used the word there, wasn't it?
Gene editing?
What was that?
Something I didn't recognize.
Gene editing.
Oh, gene editing.
free framework, whether gene editing would come under it, which it wouldn't as far as we know.
And so this is something that's just been really a fabricated piece of legislation to try and quell the food movement's push to really have the right to know what we're eating.
And so the movement's on the move again and having to reorganize, sadly, after Obama signed this into being.
What about the states where pretty stringent regulations were on the books regarding GMOs, seeds?
It really touches on a lot there.
I mean, have you heard a lot of outrage from the states?
Absolutely.
I mean, this is preemption, not only for Vermont labeling for the foods that they were going to have labeled, but also, say, in Virginia, where Cain actually voted for this legislation and it overturned the seed labeling laws there.
So there's a lot of disgruntled people, rightly so.
And people need to really keep looking at this space and get engaged again.
This is I find this an interesting piece of legislation.
Well, it's also Fed Trump's state bullshit.
Why would a federal law that's got nothing to do with the Constitution?
That was the second part that I thought was very interesting.
And nobody, of course, says anything.
The reason this woman wasn't thrown off the air altogether was because it was RT. So that's why she was even allowed to talk.
I have not read this bill.
I just read it came in late today.
I only saw the executive summary, but I had this clip and I wanted to share that.
For Sunday, I will completely deconstruct House Resolution 1599, which was passed, and the President has signed it into law to understand a little bit more about this.
But it makes sense to me that the clean food label is a part of this legislation or a way to...
Not label something, but for it to be marketed as good.
I mean, there's a lot of this that is going on.
Yeah, it's a scam.
Everything else seems to be on this particular show.
It's more TV dinner for you, everybody.
That's all we got for you.
Oh wait, did you have another clip?
I'm sorry.
I have one last clip.
Yes, you do.
Because I know you'd appreciate this is in the San Francisco real estate story.
And this happens to be about the towers, the Millennium Towers that they built in San Francisco that appears to be in the verge of crumbling.
It's where we actually had one of these journalist club meetings.
Beautiful views and everything.
Two bedroom apartment, two million dollars plus.
Wow.
And here's what the results of all that are and here you go.
We end tonight with a million dollar listing.
A luxury apartment building in San Francisco is listing towards the Pacific and sinking quickly.
Here's Carter Evans.
The views from the Millennium Tower were well worth the $2.1 million Pat and Jerry Dobson paid for their two-bedroom apartment, they say, until they learned their 58-story building is cracking and sinking.
At this point, the building has sunk 16 inches.
But it's also leaning.
Right.
How far is it leaning?
It's leaning 15 inches out towards the west from here.
The seven-year-old Millennium Tower has been home to sports celebrities like Joe Montana and Hunter Pence.
It's a symbol of the runaway real estate market in San Francisco.
Now, you know, the irony of this is they're blaming the leaning and the sinking on the transit center, which is digging up right next to them, and it's digging up half of San Francisco as we speak, and this is the transit center that got you kicked out of San Francisco.
Oh, that's right!
That is under eminent domain for the bus terminal, for the high-speed rail.
Where is that thing?
Where is that thing?
They're still digging.
Eight years later, where is that thing?
Yeah.
All right, everybody.
Good, good, good, good.
Oh, man.
Well, thank you, everybody.
Not thanking the chat room today.
You deserve none of my praise.
Who knows what the next few days will bring, but we will be glued to our sets to C-SPAN, everything else, 3x3s, making sure we bring you the deconstruction of the stories and as close to the truth as possible.
Exactly.
As possible, as possible.
Alright, so I'm traveling to New Jersey tomorrow, and I will be checking in Sunday, hopefully with a fun report from the Jersey rock scene, or what's left of it.
I'm sure you'll have some great stories.
That is what I plan on doing.
It'll be a special show.
It's always a special show.
And coming to you from the Crackpot Condo here in the skyscraper, we're in Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state, which is housed in FEMA Region 6, if you're looking for my plastic coffin.

And from northern Silicon Valley, where, you know, somebody put some garbage, the theirs, into my garbage cans.
Now I've got to put cameras up.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back on Sunday.

The Mac and Cheese Life.
Mac and Cheese by Ayn Rand.
Caliphate.
Yada sana sana sana sana nya Auchin The Caliphate!
That is why we've all died of caliphate.
I got ants.
Music by Ben Thede I got ants.
I don't know if he had ants.
We had ant invasion.
I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine grind of black pepper, we were having dinner and I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it.
These things are peppery.
I got ants.
I got ants.
And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you.
I backed them off by doing the burning trick.
You torch them.
And you leave them there.
The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch, and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back.
I got ants.
.
Ants. Ants.
Ants.
Oh, they're not that bad.
I'm going to go to China.
I'm going to go to China.
Hey, come on, guys.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Amen.
Fist bump.
Guy, you hear something.
It's unbelievable.
Try it again.
Guy and Chichika.
Chichika.
Chichika.
The U.S. strike that reportedly killed around 20 civilians in the ISIL-held city of Monbech in Syria.
Was it a mistake?
I named Chichakhan.
That's another great accusatory question you've asked here.
Yes, we love Guy and Chichakhan.
While State Department's John Kirby says the U.S. views one civilian casualty as too many, We see reports from Syria saying US strikes killed dozens.
