	Okay, we need some coffee over here.
	Adam Curry, John C. DeVore.
	It's Thursday, August 18, 2016.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 852.
	This is No Agenda.
	Up to my ankles in rainwater and broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin Tejas, here in FEMA Region 6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's not raining, but it's drizzling.
	Drizzling, I say.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Oh, man, it's bad here.
	I heard that.
	It's bad.
	And there is water in my apartment once again.
	Aren't you on like the 70th floor or something?
	Yeah, it's coming right underneath my front door.
	It's just water rolling into my part.
	You're not on the ground floor.
	No, I think the roof is leaking and it's leaking down...
	I don't know, some piping or something.
	And it has found a hole right in front of my door.
	So it kind of seeps out.
	Like, hey, what is this?
	This is water everywhere.
	What an arrow.
	Tell me about it.
	This is the cheapest, cheap-ass construction they've ever could have thought of here.
	But, have no fear, the Ares have been called up in Louisiana.
	That's right.
	The heiress?
	Yeah, the amateur radio emergency systems.
	Oh, cool.
	CQ. 73, 33 and a third.
	And so, you know, actually, television, this doesn't translate very well to TV. I received a report from one of our producers.
	This is really a pretty big disaster that's going on.
	You just can't, you know, all they keep showing on the news is, although great, great television, the guy who saves the lady and then saves her dog, That is great, but man.
	Oh yeah, fantastic.
	I mean, there's thousands of people who are still on the highway and stuck in their cars.
	Oh, it's ridiculous.
	It's like it's raining too much.
	Yeah, let me see.
	They call it the 500-year flood.
	Let me just see.
	This is from Caleb.
	We had a 1,000-year one recently, so now there's a 500.
	There's also a 100 recently, so they're running out of things to say.
	Right.
	We had to go into a 10,000 or a 2,500 or maybe a 50.
	Right.
	Let me read this note from producer Caleb from Lafayette.
	Nobody's ever experienced this kind of flooding here.
	People are still stranded on the interstate.
	Thousands are still waiting to be rescued from homes.
	More than 30,000 are in shelters around town.
	And each of those shelters has a ham radio operator there.
	Everyone's in contact.
	Over 10,000 have been rescued, and that number continues to climb.
	In one of the towns I grew up in, Denham Springs, 90% of homes have been flooded.
	My house is fine, but lots of friends aren't.
	And he says it did take several days for the Obama administration to declare it as a disaster to free up federal resources, which was disappointing, because he's much quicker to talk about one person being shot in Baton Rouge instead of thousands losing everything.
	I think that is an excellent point.
	Excellent point.
	But, have no fear!
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	Right!
	Right.
	Right.
	Seven threes.
	So I guess the hams are busy finally.
	Yeah, the hams are good at that.
	I was listening in last night, a couple frequencies, see what's going on.
	Yeah, what is going on?
	Like, we got people over here.
	So we got people over here in this camp.
	That are good.
	I'm writing that down.
	I'll make a note of that.
	You have people over there.
	Okay, we need some coffee over here.
	Okay, we got a note of that coffee.
	That's kind of that.
	Yeah, that would be right.
	But, you know, if something serious, you know, some communications were necessary.
	It makes people feel better to know they haven't lost complete contact with everybody in the outside world.
	The hams do that, if nothing else.
	Yeah, exactly.
	If there's real emergencies, they can jump into action.
	It was funny because the ARRL... The Amateur Radio Relay League sent out a note.
	This is very funny.
	Because you know how these hams are.
	They put on their emergency yellow jackets and they're off.
	Off they go!
	Amateur radio volunteers are responding to help.
	States have emergency been declared.
	Louisiana section Amateur Radio Emergency Services has activated and put out a call for volunteers.
	Please note, amateurs should not self-deploy to the affected area.
	Don't self-deploy!
	I guess you have to go to the group meeting.
	You can't just...
	Oh, yeah, no.
	None of this freelance.
	No lone wolf hams.
	Hey, Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie!
	You know what?
	They're there.
	They're there.
	This is how all of those guys are like, well, honey, you sure helped out.
	I guess I got to buy a new rig now, if you don't mind.
	Right, yes.
	I could have saved more people if only I had the right rig.
	Oh boy.
	Okay, there we go.
	The only show that has ham humor.
	And ham humor is usually pretty lame.
	Although I think we brought it to a new level of height.
	I agree.
	I think you are, in particular, you are responsible for this.
	Thanks for getting me into it.
	I will totally take credit for that.
	I really appreciate it.
	And I think it's kind of steamrolled.
	We probably picked up, I think I probably would sponsor maybe three to four hams.
	Oh, more than that.
	Oh, no.
	There must be a No Agenda hams website somewhere.
	I bet we're closer to 50 or 60 hams.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	That's good.
	I've done my job.
	Your work is done here, sir.
	Very good.
	Back to day trading.
	Okay.
	Back to day trading.
	Hey, last night Jill Stein was on the CNNs with Cuomo.
	I kind of missed that and I missed the other thing.
	I also missed the Trump thing.
	I got something from the Trump thing.
	One clip and I have actually two clips from this Jill.
	Now Jill Stein along with Ajammu Baraka.
	Yeah, he is the vice presidential candidate for the Green Party.
	Interesting guy.
	This Baraka guy.
	Seems bright.
	He was part of the Human Rights Network.
	He was one of the co-founders.
	And I think Human Rights Network might actually be one of the human rights organizations that is real.
	Oh?
	Human Rights Now.
	Soros Front?
	Or USAID. Yeah.
	So I do not believe he's a USAID guy.
	He's pretty good.
	You know, he's got kind of that Morgan Freeman one earring in the left ear.
	A little odd.
	I think after...
	Even I'm not wearing an earring anymore.
	You gotta stop that.
	This, of course, is the completely spontaneous town hall.
	I think you look good with an earring and a ponytail.
	And a nose ring.
	And a tat.
	Right on the neck.
	This is Chris Cuomo.
	And, of course, this is the town hall, completely freeform and open and just a conversation, right?
	Let's get to another question.
	Jasmine Rebidavia.
	She is a second-grade teacher from New York City.
	How badly did I mangle your name, by the way?
	Let me hear it the right way.
	Rebidavia.
	Oh, so close!
	I said it that way in rehearsal.
	Oh, okay.
	So I guess they rehearsed everything, including asking the questions.
	You're not supposed to say that, Cuomo.
	That is a...
	You almost started off the show with a clip of the day.
	Oh, I don't get one?
	I'll give you a Borderline.
	I'll take it.
	Borderline!
	Clip of the day!
	Holy...
	That a catch!
	Yeah, and I'm...
	So I'm watching this and I'm in the kitchen and I'm like, oh, stop!
	Rewind!
	What is that?
	Jill Stein is interesting.
	She was much more interesting to listen to than Gary Johnson when he was doing the similar town hall.
	Well, at least she had some dynamics.
	And she brought up something that we discussed probably two election cycles ago when this program was just starting about the debate committee and how the debate committee is made up of Republicans and Democrats.
	And, of course, the biggest...
	Well, first of all...
	There are so many people who have been taught and believe that we have a two-party system in America.
	If you go to Europe and say, about that American system, yeah, two-party system, which is categorically untrue.
	The Republicans, Democrats would like you to believe that, but you have all kinds of candidates.
	And there are, you know, four different parties, such as the Green Party, the Libertarians, or completely...
	You've done a wonderful job, the Democrats and Republicans, of convincing people of this bullcrap.
	It's a meme.
	And you suggest, hey, why don't you vote for Jill Stein if you want a woman president?
	It's a wasted vote.
	A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.
	As far as I can, it could be a vote for Hillary.
	Here's Jill Stein explaining, and this is good, since we don't have to do it, explaining exactly what the problem is.
	This is about we the people standing up.
	As Americans, we not only have a right to vote, we have a right to know who we can vote for.
	And the Commission on Presidential Debates is not just an ordinary public interest commission.
	It's a private corporation that is run, excuse me, Of, by, and for the Democratic and Republican parties.
	The League of Women Voters quit the debates when the Commission came forward and they quit saying this is a fraud being committed on the American voters because it allows these two parties to set a standard for admission that silences political opposition.
	We have a right to know who our choices are.
	There are four candidates who will be on the ballot.
	That is four candidates for president.
	Now, see, this is also a little weird because there's many more than four candidates.
	Isn't Vermin Supreme a candidate?
	Is he not on the ballot?
	Well, there's a lot of guys that have declared for the presidency, but they don't have the organization they can get.
	You have to file a petition in every single state who will be on the ballot for just about every voter in the country that have the numerical possibility to actually win the election that represents a much greater diversity of choices than just Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
	Where one of them is a member of the Billionaire Club, but the other one has actually been quite an ally and an advocate for the Billionaire Club.
	So the American people deserve to hear from people who are not part of that economic elite And the political system that serves it.
	So I want to encourage people to go to Jill2016.com and sign up on our campaign to open up the debates and hold on to your hat and stay tuned because I don't think the American people are going to take this sitting down.
	There is too much at stake.
	We need real tomorrow.
	Yeah, dream on.
	She's a little missed.
	Dream on about that.
	I mean, she means well, but no, the American...
	Citizenry really doesn't know about this.
	And they won't.
	It's not in anyone's...
	And they don't care.
	They're going to vote for Trump or Clinton or one of the two.
	I was wondering if it would be a good story to write, which is Jill Stein wins or Johnson wins.
	So they win.
	Okay, now what?
	Should I go to Washington and can I get in the White House?
	I'm the new president.
	I never heard of you.
	You go away.
	We'll arrest you.
	You can't get in the White House.
	They never give you the keys.
	What are you talking about?
	No, once you win, how do you get from there to actually taking over?
	It's like buying a Boeing jet.
	There's like a process.
	What if they decide they're not going to give you the keys?
	I'm sure, I'm sure.
	Find your own way to Pennsylvania.
	If Jill Stein were to win, there would be a lot of volunteers popping up to help her.
	I'm sure there'd be a lot of people.
	Oh, I know how to do this.
	Come on, let me in.
	Will you?
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I just think it would be amusing.
	The Department of Homeland Security is in active conversations with states about, and you know this is a, now it's going to get bad, about, quote, shoring up cyber in their voting systems.
	And they have some great advice.
	I thought things were fine.
	Why are they doing this?
	Oh, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	J. Johnson, there's a couple of memos back and forth.
	And, of course, we had the DNC systems hacked.
	And state officials, let me see, what do we have here?
	The states feel, for the most part, they're in good shape, cybersecurity-wise, as most have made sure their systems are self-contained and not internet-facing, said one representative who agreed to speak on background.
	The internet's not the only problem with electronic balloting.
	No, but this is what the State Department put out in an official memo.
	It said, it is best not to have your voting machines linked to the internet while voting is in progress.
	Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.
	I'm still stunned by the absolute solid numbers that you get when people say, well, we should all vote with the internet.
	We should just stay at home and vote on our computers.
	Can you imagine?
	We didn't talk about it, I don't think, but you saw what happened to the census in Australia.
	They had a big census and it was the first one online.
	Got hacked immediately.
	This is what Theodore...
	We've raised during this depression, this downturn, which actually began in 2000, and then it was kind of restructured to be more classic in 2008, which it now is.
	Because there's so much time on people's hands, we've bred an entire generation, over 20 years, of unbelievably talented hackers.
	There are also a lot of talented IT guys and smart guys that do all kinds of stuff.
	Oh, and what's the difference between IT guys and hackers?
	Well, I'm thinking of a hacker as not really having more time on his hands than a guy that actually works for a company.
	I mean, yeah, anyone could go do a little hacking on the side.
	Yeah.
	But we've got it.
	This is over.
	The whole computer thing is done.
	It doesn't end well from here on out.
	No, it's already not ending well.
	I got a clip of the Soros.
	The stuff that's not being reported, I really paid attention.
	So a couple things about the Soros hack.
	The website for this Soros hack is shit.
	It almost looks like a conspiracy theory website.
	Really poorly done.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, then they do have it all, you know, it's a real, this is a real computer guy who put this together.
	You can see how the subdirectories are lined up.
	And, you know, I couldn't, there's not really like a smoking gun.
	If you just look at the whole thing, you just say, holy shit, this guy is in everywhere doing everything.
	And he could twist knobs and make stuff happen in any country.
	But there's not really one smoking gun where someone is like, yeah, I got 10 million.
	I'm going to go fuck the Russians.
	It's just not in there.
	No.
	The guy is just a machine.
	He's just got all this money out there.
	He says, let's try to do this.
	Let's try to do that.
	But it's like he's an evil-looking character who seems to be up to no good.
	That's the way I see it.
	Now, the funny thing was, this is the report on RT. This is kind of a backgrounder.
	What's the name of this clip?
	Hackers, Soros, and Russia.
	And RT, of course, has a bone to pick, and their thing is that Soros is out to screw them because he hates the Russians.
	And he's all for one world government, no borders, borderless society.
	Multicultural society, everyone just be brown.
	As long as he keeps making money, he's good with that.
	Who cares?
	There was one thing that's annoying.
	We do have Russia Today producers that listen to our show.
	I don't think they listen all the time, but I've been bitching about this for a while.
	When they put stuff up on the screen...
	Not all the producers, but most of the producers don't do voiceovers.
	They just put a bunch of details on the screen.
	Nobody reads it, which makes it impossible to get good clips.
	And what I'm going to say here is what I noticed, because they said, here's the stuff that Soros was involved in.
	And then they list the Kosovo situation, and one after another, that they attract money to.
	And it says, but it always...
	I'd say 90% of them, they were involved in this election.
	And then it said Soros and USAID. And it was almost every one of these things that Soros is up to involves USAID. And I'm wondering whether USAID is involved with Black Lives Matter.
	Well, yeah, sure.
	Indirectly, I'm sure.
	I'm sure Soros, a lot of his...
	Open Society Institute NGOs received money from USAID. And so, you know, indirectly with, you know, actually it was a different, the house that, what's the guy's name, one of the co-founders was living in, belongs to an NGO funded by Soros.
	Yeah.
	So, yeah, yes, the answer is yes.
	Well, it's disgusting.
	Yeah.
	So let's play what Russia has to say about this.
	Hackers have leaked over 2,000 documents linked to billionaire George Soros and his grant-making organization called Open Society Foundation.
	The papers exposed the group's ongoing attempts to influence political processes in Europe and Russia and elsewhere.
	RT's Guyane Chichakan takes a closer look.
	Leech documents from George Soros' Open Society Foundations show persistent efforts by the organization to influence the political process in Europe.
	To reach out to European voters, the organization has funded local advocacy groups, social media projects, and journalists.
	Here's an example.
	Over $130,000 went to a project by a group called EU Observer.
	This project uses professional news reporting to foster debate on how open society values are under stress in the run-up to the European election.
	Is that that publication, EU News Observer?
	I think that's a website as well, isn't it?
	No, that's a different one.
	I observe it.
	EU Observer recruited experienced local journalists to visit campaign events, conduct interviews, and solicit high-level op-eds in 16 countries.
	While the source organization has been doing all this hard work trying to influence politics in Europe, a leaked document shows the organization's half a million dollar effort to find evidence of Russia's alleged influence in Europe's political life.
	The proposal reads, quote, the evidence is still rather sketchy and based more on strong allegations, hence the need to first do a proper mapping, end quote.
	I think that the European public is underreacting.
	I love the way it dogs.
	I think it is EU observer, John.
	Well, the one you're thinking is EU news?
	No, euobserver.com.
	Oh, okay.
	Yes, definitely his.
	The European public is underreacting, and that's why I'm trying to explain to them the real danger that Russia represents.
	From the leaked document, we also see...
	Stavlo Blofeld.
	What's that?
	Stavlo Blofeld.
	He sounds like a James Bond in Evil Villain.
	That's a great name, isn't it?
	Leaked document.
	We also see that the Soros team recognizes the problem of trying to accuse Russia of influencing politics in Europe.
	Naming and shaming from us is problematic.
	We also are in the business of channeling money into other countries for political purposes.
	When he says democracy, he means Sorosocracy.
	He doesn't mean what we might otherwise think of democracy.
	He wants to wreck Europe.
	That's why he's for all these open borders and these vast numbers of people coming in.
	Over the years, George Soros has been accused of meddling in internal politics of a number of countries.
	We are trying to make the world a better place.
	But that's not necessarily what we accomplish.
	George Soros is known to have exclusive access to top US policymakers.
	Hillary Clinton's emails show when she was Secretary of State in 2011, she received an email from George Soros with his recommendations on how to address a political crisis in Albania.
	A week later, the person Soros recommended to be sent as a mediator from the EU was in Albania meeting with politicians there.
	George Soros is now one of the top donors to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, and his influence appears to be stretching much further than European politics.
	In Washington, I'm going to check out...
	Yeah, I'm looking at it right here.
	I see three donations in 2016 alone to the EU Observer from the Open Society Institute.
	I didn't know that.
	I know.
	Well, I looked at the bets he made for the Brexit, and he went long on some gold stocks, some physical gold, and he went short on...
	He might have gone short on the pound again, I'm not sure.
	Well, that was a good bet.
	The pound went down.
	Yeah.
	And jobs have gone up, though.
	They don't know what to do about that.
	Because they're still stalling on joining.
	And so now the employment has improved a lot since they did the vote.
	I have a number of packages for today's show.
	And since you brought up the foundation stuff, I did the package of Charles Ortel.
	Oh, your buddy.
	Yeah, you want to do that now, or do you want to wait?
	Yeah, let's go for it.
	Okay.
	And now Charles Ortel, you can find him at charlesortel.com.
	He's an M&A analyst specialist, and he stumbled across the Clinton Foundation, and he started looking into it.
	And he is so outrented.
	He's not at all...
	He knows a lot about charitable foundations, and he knows a lot about the legality, and that's really part of his profession.
	Certainly when it comes to M&A of multiple 5013C corps.
	So he really knows what he's talking about.
	And he became outraged as he started looking into Clinton Foundation and its many associated foundations.
	And he has started writing about it, talking about it.
	Of course, he can barely get on mainstream.
	He gets on NewsHour.
	But he's been on Democracy Now!
	Democracy Now!
	That's right.
	He gets around a lot on alternative podcasts now because that's the way to go and his mission is to start investigations in individual states.
	And the reason for that is a president cannot pardon a crime committed in a state or international crimes, obviously.
	I think he already has Ohio investigating the Clinton Foundation, a couple more, because I don't think I put this in this clip, but in this series of clips, what he hates the most is, he says, look, 80% The lower 80% of the people in America give money to foundations for good causes.
	When we have a Haiti disaster, it's really the poorest people who don't think twice, grab a couple bucks out of their pocketbook or text it or whatever, because they just want to help people.
	But, you know, he says that all these people like the Clintons, they're like Robin Hood and reverse.
	They take the money and give it to their rich buddy.
	So, that's really why he's doing this.
	And he was on two programs.
	And, you know, it stuns me how long it took somebody to...
	I mean, it's not that everyone's not bitching and mowing about this.
	He actually explains this.
	He actually explains this and why no one has really done this investigating.
	So, this is a mixture of two different shows that I caught him on.
	Both on Skype, so there are some hiccups here and there.
	The one I like the most is when he's on, was it Stefan Molyneux?
	Molyneux?
	Yeah, that guy.
	Yeah.
	He puts his head in front of a cam.
	I'm not a big fan of his show.
	I'm not a big fan of his production.
	Yeah, maybe that's it.
	Maybe that's it.
	And, you know, these questions are, hmm, okay.
	But he did have him on, and he does follow a value-for-value model, so I appreciate that.
	And, you know, people should definitely support stuff like that.
	I think also when I look at him, I feel uncomfortable because I know that I, too, sometimes am talking completely out of my ass and thinking I'm really right about something, and I cringe when I see him do it.
	I'm like, God, that's what I must be like.
	Because it does happen, of course.
	Hence the audio.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay, here he is.
	The basic problem of the Clinton Foundation, which Tina the Keeper is still outraged over since she is in the non-profit sector, is that it has never, ever been properly registered.
	You have a non-profit, you have to register exactly what you're going to do with that non-profit.
	Well, when you look at any foundation, the Clinton Foundation in particular, you have to check and see what its authorized tax-exempt purposes are.
	And because this entity raises money from the public continuously, as we're having this interview, they're raising money.
	They have to actually be very specific.
	And their authorized tax-exempt purposes stated in their application, which is dated on the 23rd of December, 2000, sorry, 1997, were just to be a presidential archival facility in Little Rock and a related research facility.
	They never have been authorized, as far as I can tell, from the public filings that need to be out there so everyone can look at them.
	They've never been authorized to do such things as fight HIV-AIDS, fight climate change, convene meetings in New York, set up these various initiatives.
	None of them has actually been validly authorized, which means that they have been raising money on the basis of false and materially misleading public filings.
	And they've been doing it using the mail, using the Internet, using telephones, all of which is a federal crime.
	There you go.
	So, not properly registered, you got a problem.
	And you'll recall the IRS did go after a number of non-profits.
	All of them were small, religious, right-wing groups, but still went after them.
	I think we played a clip a couple weeks ago, a Democratic congresswoman in Texas, I think.
	And she had a slush fund, $800,000 slush fund, and she's going to jail.
	She's in a 23-count indictment, so she's in trouble.
	But no, not the Clintons.
	But why is it important that the registration be factual and correct?
	And why does this matter?
	The reason it matters is the IRS generally is very suspicious about charities because they're the perfect vehicles For fraud, if they're not controlled properly, if the trustees aren't independent, if they don't have real audits, if they don't make truthful filings concerning what they intend to do and what they have done, then while the money that comes towards a charity can simply be put in people's pockets and no one will ever know the difference.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	So, why doesn't the FBI or the IRS or somebody crack down on this?
	Well, it's kind of what we suspected the problem was.
	There's so many red flags.
	Why isn't the IRS auditing the Clinton Foundation?
	I think part of the reason is that, unfortunately, members of the Republican Party are involved in this.
	Not necessarily in the same way, but the Bush family, Mike Huckabee, others are tied to these various entities.
	So, it is a bipartisan problem.
	And it's so embarrassing.
	I mean, when you look at this, when you think back to what happened, what is alleged to have happened starting in March of 2010, when the Justice Department and the IRS may have aggressively gone against conservative Tea Party charities, And people who were trying to become charities that had conservative leanings,
	when you look at the way in which they were prosecuted and persecuted, and you contrast it with the ways in which these Clinton Foundation entities have been allowed to operate without being punished, it's impossible to argue that, in recent years, that the scales of justice have been evenly balanced as concerns right-leaning and left-leaning people.
	And, you know, when you open up this can of worms, what you're opening up is a domestic political scandal.
	But in addition, one major scandal that is global in scale is that global governments have given a lot of money to the Clinton Foundation, and their records do not square with the Clinton Foundation filings concerning how...
	concerning how much money the Clinton Foundation believes it's received.
	So in short, these governments have sent far more money towards the Clinton Foundation than it appears show up in the Clinton Foundation books.
	Hmm.
	That's how you do it, apparently.
	Yeah, it's a form of money laundering.
	No, it is money.
	Not a form.
	It is the definition of money.
	Now, I have two longer clips, the final two.
	And these are the ones actually from Molineux's show, so better audio.
	Long, yes, but I think very important just to understand, because he doesn't give you any extraneous information.
	It's really the information you need to understand.
	And the main one for me, of course, is Haiti.
	And when Haiti took place, right off the bat, the strangest thing that I thought was the shallowness of the earthquake.
	And it was only Haiti.
	It pretty much stopped at the border.
	It only messed up Haiti.
	And I've always suspected earthquake machines sometimes are used.
	I know I'm taking it a bit to the crackpot level here, but...
	When you hear this, and you hear that the Clintons had a Haiti foundation set up in late 2009, just before the 2010 earthquake, you know, you just gotta say...
	Incidents?
	I think not!
	So here is the full lowdown on Haiti.
	You remember when we had three presidents asking for water or blankets?
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	At the time, the...
	Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation was not even set up, so they were just receiving this money into their own individual foundations and then were supposed to send it later to the Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation.
	Here you go.
	In 2009, the Clinton Foundation, Bill Clinton was appointed special UN envoy to Haiti.
	There had been problems in Haiti.
	Bill and Hillary have long-standing ties to Haiti.
	And in addition, the Clinton Foundation created illegally a new charity in Florida called the William J. Clinton Foundation Corporation.
	Now, they didn't create that as a subsidiary of the Clinton Foundation.
	They created a new domestic Florida corporation for some unexplained reason around June 1st, 2009.
	And then they set about trying to do business in Haiti.
	On January 12th, 2010, there was a horrific earthquake.
	It's estimated that 500,000 people lost their lives.
	People opened their hearts.
	Chief among them, President Obama and his wife were kind enough to arrange for $200,000 out of his Nobel Peace Prize winnings to be sent to the nascent Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund.
	That is before it received its IRS authorization.
	And this fund was really kind of complicated.
	Bill claimed that he had the right to solicit for it before the earthquake and during the earthquake, before the actual new fund was set up.
	He did not have that right, but he nonetheless did it and has never properly accounted for what happened with the money that came in through the Clinton Foundation.
	Then in 2011, when they filed their return for 2010, the biggest expenditure of the parent Clinton Foundation was $37.2 million, It was supposedly sent to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.
	But when you check the actual disclosures, as I have, you will find that the money was sent to a post office box in Maryland.
	When you check the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund filings, there was no office for the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund in Maryland.
	You certainly should go after the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and the Clinton Fund for sending $37.2 million, in theory, to a post office box.
	And I ask you, how do you do that?
	Did they send a check to a post office box?
	Yeah.
	I just need to check over.
	It's fine.
	I got a P.O. box in Maryland.
	And if they did, that's bright line mail fraud right there.
	In 2015, last year, I warned publicly many times the Clinton Foundation that it was going to have to refile its existing tax returns.
	They protested and said they didn't have to.
	Then on the 16th of November 2015, they said they had it.
	They corrected the problem.
	They're badly wrong because they refiled, among other things, the 2010 form.
	Without correcting this $37.2 million, and without correcting their claim that they sent roughly $4 million in non-cash items down to Haiti.
	Well, the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund has its own report, and that report says that it got $1 million in change in non-cash items.
	So why the difference?
	That's the small beer part of it.
	The big beer...
	Do you really think they took a whole bunch of, like...
	Diapers and stuff.
	Three million in kind.
	You gotta love it though.
	Is that this estimate that 14 billion in total went from around the world to Haiti.
	You send 14 billion dollars of aid into an economy that only has 10 billion in total income.
	That should have an impact.
	The Haitians are riding in the street.
	I've been contacted by some of these Haitians.
	I've done various interviews about it.
	You know, it's one thing to be a greedy capitalist.
	I understand that.
	It's another thing to be Robin Hood in reverse, to steal from the poor to give to your rich cronies.
	Haiti's gold has literally been stolen by a new company that Hillary Clinton's brother is a trustee of that company.
	Hillary Clinton's brother doesn't know.
	I mean, I suppose he could tell gold from silver like anybody else, but he has no expertise in mining.
	Why did the Haitian government give a privileged contract to some startup company to extract the gold from Haiti at the same time as people are wallowing in the streets?
	Yeah, there you go.
	So I think that explains it very well.
	Shenanigans, I tell you.
	The level of corruption is outrageous.
	And everybody's involved.
	Mike Huckabee?
	That is the outrageous part of it.
	That's why no one can do anything.
	If Huckabee's involved, which makes it real, then it's pathetic.
	Yeah.
	Who wants him in your club?
	Regardless.
	Well, I mean, it's beside the point.
	He's the holier-than-thou Baptist preacher.
	I mean, come on.
	Exactly.
	So the final one is about, and I tease this, is about this A roll-up organization which Ortel calls a Ponzi scheme called Laureate.
	And we talked about it briefly.
	We haven't discussed it.
	Yeah, it's a holding company of universities that were really failing, and this has been going on for a long time, and they just keep raising money, and then with that money, keeping this stuff afloat.
	Well, he explains the whole business model and how the Clintons tie into it.
	Very interesting if you take into account the amount of noise being made about Trump University.
	Laureate is a company that's trying to go public right now.
	It used to be public.
	And it's really, for those of us who are involved in leveraged buyouts, as I was, and in finance, it's another casebook study.
	So what happened was a young bunch of promoters, their story, which doesn't ring true to me, is that many of the people involved with this thing turned down prestigious universities back in the 1980s, I think it was, To instead get involved in various ventures and ultimately found themselves in control of something called Sylvan Learning Systems.
	Do you remember that?
	The Sylvan Learning Systems?
	Yes, I do.
	Yeah.
	And that was kind of a weird operation.
	I always thought it was sketchy, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	By the way, make sure that Horowitz hears this segment because there's a lot of financial stuff in here that's kind of fun.
	Well, I also want to...
	There's a friend of mine that used to be involved in buying and selling universities, private ones.
	I bet you he knows something about this.
	I'm going to have to contact him.
	Yeah, yeah, definitely.
	Definitely.
	I mean, this Ortele guy, it's fantastic what he's doing.
	And I should mention something about Trump University and some of this other stuff.
	They're always condemning Trump for it.
	I'm not here to defend Trump.
	But all he was doing with his ties and his suits and all that stuff, he's got nothing to do with this stuff.
	He's not like, you know, Carl Icahn who buys TWA and then starts meddling in the company.
	He's just licensing his name from all I can tell.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	He just gets his tit in the ring because he's licensing his name to just about every jerk-off that comes along who wants to pay.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That may not be defensible, but it's what he's doing.
	No, it's not defensible at all.
	No, it's not defensible.
	It's shit business.
	I wouldn't want to be in that business.
	Although I am going to do reverse mortgages.
	Screw them.
	I'm taking your house.
	Something called Sylvan Learning Systems, which was a place you'd send your kids to if they were having trouble on standardized tests.
	That entity might...
	Chat room just said Sylvan Learning Systems is located in Baltimore.
	I wonder if they have a P.O. box.
	On standardized tests.
	That entity migrated after it went public into buying university campuses, I think the first one was in Spain, that weren't cutting it in the given country where they were operating.
	Back by the time this thing was taken private in August of 2007, Laureate, I think, was the largest chain of for-profit university systems in the world.
	And I think its biggest locus of operations is down in South America, but they're all over the place.
	I think Laureate is a gigantic Ponzi scheme.
	What it is, is they managed to convince people to lend them money or provide financing to acquire these derelict campuses.
	And they've been growing and growing and growing, always getting more and more debt behind them.
	They took this thing private in August 2007 when the world was crazy.
	It was just past the point where the bubble had blown up.
	And they managed, hats off in a way to these promoters, they managed to play off Henry Kravis and Stevie Cohen and Goldman Sachs and Citibank Private Equity, a lot of very sharp people.
	They convinced them to do this deal at a fantastic entry valuation.
	Now, let's just talk about that for a second.
	I don't think everyone understands the process of a leveraged buyout.
	Okay.
	That's your cue.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, leveraged buyout is where you're for.
	Here's an example of this kind of leveraged buyouts that go on.
	I got a lecture from the one-time CEO of Barnes& Noble in his office when I was pitching him something.
	And he says...
	Wait, a vinegar book?
	No.
	Typical type of thing, though.
	The Vinegar Book is on its way.
	It's actually all in on it.
	I never deliver it, of course.
	I've got to get off that track.
	Great idea.
	We'll get it in stores by Thursday.
	I'll talk to you later.
	Good pitch.
	Good work, everybody.
	Good meeting.
	This is one version.
	Leverage buyouts are where you buy the company and then use the company's assets to leverage the purchase.
	That's it in a nutshell.
	But one of the things he was bitching about, which is the way the publishing industry was doing it, was like Pearson, for example.
	They bought everybody.
	This ruined the computer book business.
	Pearson bought all the computer book publishers.
	They bought Macmillan.
	They bought Peach Pit.
	They bought everybody.
	Q and everybody in between and made one giant corporation with all these little publishers.
	And didn't VNU buy all of that later?
	I don't know.
	Maybe.
	I don't know what the relationship between Pearson...
	I think Pearson is still independent.
	Or they were bought by Pearson.
	Pearson is monstrous.
	But what the deal was, was these companies, you'd buy a small publisher...
	And then to pay for the purchase of the publisher, you jack up the prices of the books.
	Yeah.
	It was that easy.
	And you sell off the pension fund.
	You steal the pension fund, right?
	Well, you can do that because it's a new company.
	Right.
	And he was bitching about it because Barnes& Noble was really into low prices because people don't want...
	I think they stem from the days of the 25-cent paperback.
	Right.
	Paperbacks are now like, you know, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten dollars.
	And, you know, talking about the real paperbacks, the little bitty ones, not the trade paperbacks as they're known.
	And so every publisher would come along and they'd buy this guy, that guy, that guy, and they'd just jack up everything two bucks and within two quarters they'd just paid for the purchase of the publisher.
	That's a form of a leverage.
	In other words, you use the assets of the company, you reprice things, you gouge, you do anything you can, and then the purchase of the company, although you end up keeping the debt and pocketing the money, is beside the point the books look good.
	And usually the insiders make a ton of money on this.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, it's a business.
	Yeah.
	There's a great movie to watch, if you haven't seen it, I think it's on HBO, called Barbarians at the Gate.
	That's a classic, classic story.
	That actually goes back to the Nabisco R.J.R. Reynolds.
	And that was at the time the biggest deal ever done.
	Ever.
	And it was, by today's standards, it's laughable.
	Yeah.
	Very laughable.
	But the story discusses how they kind of jiggered with the books and fooled around.
	Right.
	And there are people that are specialists in leveraged buyouts, and that's what they do.
	And they see an opportunity.
	In other words, what you do is you see the book publishing company and you say, you know, in today's market, these books are underpriced.
	What happens?
	What do the numbers look like?
	On the spreadsheet, if we jack the prices up by three bucks a book, and then somebody runs the numbers, because you can do that on a spreadsheet.
	And they often split it up and remove entire divisions.
	And somebody says, oh, okay, that means this company's actually worth this if we do that, so we can buy it at this lower price, and then we can use the difference that is the leverage to make this buyout work.
	And...
	Yeah, it's just the whole country's being scammed like this.
	So the point here is that, and the way it works is you're public, and then people want to take it private, which is pretty much making an offer for the shares.
	And they outbid, apparently, Kravitz, KKR, and Goldman Sachs, all those guys, with a huge valuation, which means that there's lots of friends on the inside doing stuff for people who are helping prop up this valuation.
	Okay, so we've explained that.
	Not fully.
	Well enough.
	Crazy high price.
	And right after it closed in August of 2007, when no one was really in control of it, the world blew up.
	And they struggled with this thing, but they had all this wealth, powerful people behind it who didn't want it to fail.
	By 2010, they convinced Bill Clinton to be chancellor.
	The highest paid guy, part-time work.
	The facts suggest that Clinton, and by extension his wife, with whom he's still married, made an average of $3.3 million from 2010 to 2015 for part-time work.
	That's a lot of money to make for full-time work, let alone part-time work.
	And what were they doing?
	What was Laureate doing?
	It was convincing people who, for whatever reason, couldn't get into the great state-sponsored or private schools around the world To basically take out subprime financing to participate in these various degree programs.
	How evil is that?
	You set something up to give people subprime financing to get into your...
	Yeah, that's the leverage.
	Yeah, of course that's the leverage.
	And get them into your crappy schools.
	But the fallout is...
	I mean, these aren't people looking to make a quick buck in real estate.
	These are people who are going to college and having trouble getting into the school they wanted to.
	And here you go, we'll let you in as long as you take our financing.
	I'd like to see a list of these schools because I'll bet you every one of them is second rate.
	That's what he said.
	He said they were all failing campuses.
	Yeah, exactly.
	To participate in these various degree programs where there's scant evidence that you'd be better off for borrowing money to do all this work.
	So they were preying on vulnerable people around the world.
	And the capital in this deal needed to get out.
	I mean, typically when capital does this type of stuff, you want to get out after two and a half, three and a half years.
	By 2012, the capital hadn't been able to get out, so they tried to go public, and they failed.
	So in January of 2013, somehow the International Finance Corporation, part of the World Bank, agreed to invest $100 million in Laureate, To have a fund that it controlled put $50 million in Laureate, and to have the Korean Investment Corporation put another $50 million in.
	It's nice to have friends, isn't it?
	Damn.
	Well, that's where Clinton comes in handy.
	Exactly.
	And as a guess, that investment helped the capital reassure the ultimate providers of capital through their funds that everything was fine with Laureate.
	But if you look at the filing, they're trying to go public now.
	They filed in October of 2015 to try to go public and restructure their debt.
	You look at the The performance is a disaster.
	The revenues have grown, but the profits have turned into massive losses, massive cash flow losses.
	This thing has over $4 billion of stated debt.
	It has remaining net worth less than $400 million, which is a prohibitively high ratio.
	It's got debt in the U.S. It's got assets and operations in countries that are, you know, in turmoil like Brazil and elsewhere.
	And the SEC, you know, a lot of people when I brought this thing up last year would say, well, who's going to investigate it?
	The SEC is already looking at this as they do with any public offering.
	So the SEC has a file open on this.
	State regulators have a file open on this.
	Governments have files open on this.
	And the biggest warning sign for somebody like me who's looked at this in the past, you look at the risk factor section for this offering, and there's an entry that says, this company has a material weakness in its internal financial controls that is serious and that will not be fixed until 2017 at the earliest.
	Now, I will say I've seen lots of warning.
	Even Google had some pretty interesting warnings in their S1 filing document.
	But to say that you have a problem with internal financial controls, yeah, I'd say that's...
	Yeah, those filings always have a lot of bad...
	A lot of bad news in it, yeah.
	Because you have to put the possibilities in there that you're not going to make it.
	And so they always have a lot of negative stuff.
	A company that has real negative stuff is different.
	Here's the colleges we have in North America.
	Kendall, the New School of Architecture and Design, or the New School is the name of that.
	Is the Connecticut School of Broadcasting on the list?
	I think they fold it.
	Santa Fe University of Art and Design, University of St.
	Augustine for Health Sciences, and Walden University.
	So if any of you out there listening to the show or going to these schools...
	Let us know.
	Let us know.
	Yeah, let us know what you think.
	A minute left.
	And that will not be fixed until 2017 at the earliest.
	That's a huge red flag.
	I mean, the guys running this thing have been in it since 1999.
	Why today should it have a material weakness on something this complicated?
	This international with this much debt, there's no excuse for that.
	And why are the Koreans trying to sell out?
	They just bought it in 2013.
	It reeks.
	And again, this is based in Baltimore.
	A related topic is that the same law firm that is representing the company is the law firm that supposedly was independently involved, clearing the Clinton Foundation filings back in November 2015.
	Kathy Keneally, who used to work in the Obama Justice Department, joined this firm, DLA Piper, that's the Laureate Council, and she made a big deal of saying, you know, we hired a firm that had no connection with the Clinton Foundation.
	That's not true.
	It had a connection through Laureate.
	So this is another textbook case in how not to do a buyout and how not to report for charity.
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	And there you go.
	And thanks to our brethren in arms for getting Nortel on with the interview.
	That's really good.
	Yeah.
	It's a mess.
	But, you know, really...
	This guy's got the goods on these guys, and you'd think somebody would pick up the ball.
	But because of the full-on corruption and how many people are involved, no one wants to do that.
	It's a lot like the Gulen charter schools.
	Everyone's on Junkets the Turkey.
	We want to rock that boat.
	We like getting our rugs once a year.
	But to show you just how horrible the media really is, and remember this is a media deconstruction, CNN did a report about Milwaukee, and then we'll probably play the Trump-Milwaukee clip that I have.
	And they brought in a little short clip of the sister of the guy who was killed.
	And of course, the cops say he had a gun.
	Oh yeah, this is a classic.
	Everybody's on this one, isn't it?
	Yeah, so this is what CNN reported what his sister said.
	Sorry, this one here.
	His family and friends holding a vigil marked by prayers.
	The kingdom come!
	Thy will be done!
	With his sister calling for peace.
	Don't bring the violence here and the ignorance here!
	Milwaukee police say they made multiple arrests overnight.
	We're still waiting.
	Okay, so what you heard his sister there say was, don't bring the violence here.
	Don't do this.
	Now, what she actually said, and I'm not in agreement with a lot of the websites out there that they also did a disservice, I think, to this young lady.
	Because what she's saying, I'll give her 10 points for, hey, let's not burn up our own stuff.
	And it's actually funny, she says, are weave shops, which is cool.
	But I give her, you know, minus 10 points for saying, you know, take it to the suburbs.
	Here you can listen to the whole piece of audio, which I think is important to listen to.
	It does show a grievance that I'm aware of as a non-poor person, not as poor as she is, clearly.
	I do not live in a ghetto, although I do have water in my apartment.
	Um...
	And she's talking to the police.
	So the press is there, but the police are standing right there and they're expecting some problems and they're getting ready to put on their helmets and their, what do you call it?
	Not their riot gear.
	They have a different anti-hurt gear.
	Anti-hurt me gear.
	Yes, she hurt!
	And y'all burning down gas station.
	Fuck that gas station.
	Put some money on his books, his funeral.
	Tell his mama y'all sorry for her loss.
	Burning down shit ain't gonna help nothing.
	Y'all burning down shit we need in our community.
	Take that shit to the suburbs.
	Burn that shit down.
	We need our shit.
	Y'all wanna hurt somebody, take that shit further out.
	Don't bring it here.
	Don't bring the violence here and the ignorance here.
	We need everything we fucking got.
	Everything.
	The police looked like that was our enemy all day yesterday.
	Hell yeah, I got some feelings about that.
	Hell yeah, I'ma snap out.
	Y'all putting on helmets.
	What the fuck a helmet gonna do?
	I lost my brother.
	My brother ain't have on a helmet.
	He ain't have on no motherfucking bodysuit to save his life.
	Y'all looking at us like we the enemies.
	Like we the problem.
	We not.
	We're not the problem.
	If anything, we're the fucking solution.
	Y'all need to ask us what we need in our community.
	Y'all need to fix this motherfucking community.
	Y'all trying to tell us what we doing and how savage and how we look like we niggas.
	We niggas to y'all.
	We're not niggas to us.
	We surviving to us.
	We're survivors.
	At the end of the day, we surviving.
	Y'all don't know what the fuck we be through every day.
	With each other.
	With y'all, we arguing and fighting with everybody to keep our peace of mind.
	Y'all don't understand that shit.
	Y'all think like, oh, they in the city.
	We should treat them how they look like they acting.
	Y'all don't know why we acting like that.
	Come down here and talk to us.
	And y'all just looking.
	I ain't hear not one cop yesterday say I'm sorry for your loss.
	Not one of them motherfucking bastards said I'm sorry for your loss.
	They saying they can't talk, but they talking amongst each other.
	You know how bad that shit hurt?
	I think we gonna get reckless out here.
	It's gonna get way worse.
	Until we get justice, until motherfuckers start feeling where we coming from, it's gonna hit everywhere.
	And I'm not saying I'm glad about it, or I appreciate it, or I'm even grateful them motherfuckers going crazy, because I'm not.
	Y'all ain't even got answers to give up.
	And y'all want us to sit here and be quiet, get welfare checks, and get SSI. Nah!
	Fuck them buildings.
	I hope them motherfuckers burn down tonight.
	If anything, go go, let them go.
	And that's all I gotta say.
	Kim, you can finish that.
	Oh my, look at that shit crazy.
	Look at that shit crazy, folks.
	See, I feel that the mainstream should be playing this.
	I mean, they can bleep out all the F-words, a lot of, you know, but that sounded pretty genuine, and I understand the anger.
	Yeah.
	And she's saying, hey, you got to fix this.
	Come here, talk to us.
	You know?
	So it was a double whammy where the mainstream said, oh, she's just asking for peace and prayer and love and light.
	And then the alternative media, which turned her into some hateful woman.
	Yeah, hate whitey.
	Yeah, because they'd go burn down the suburbs.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I don't think it's either.
	This is a real problem, and the problem is, thank goodness, getting out on mainstream news more and more is that this is the policies that have ruined schools.
	Actually, Donald Trump, when he was in Wisconsin, I saw the whole speech, and it was pretty cool because it was supposed to happen at 9 Eastern.
	And because he had switched from a rally to a, as his campaign had said, a teleprompter speech, everyone in the news, oh, okay, this is going to be, oh, what is he going to do?
	Oh, he's in Wisconsin.
	Oh, there's a problem.
	So they all were waiting.
	And he let them wait until 10.
	And 10 is the magic hour because that's when the local news kicks in and the networks don't have the time.
	And, you know, Rachel Maddow was so mad.
	You know, this is crazy.
	Don't they know that we're waiting?
	Like, yeah, he's probably in his plane watching MSNBC, seeing you get mad and like, no, not yet, not yet, not yet.
	Oh, there's steam coming out of her ears.
	Yeah, let's go now.
	That's the way I see it, at least.
	I thought that was very funny.
	It's kind of ironic, too, because Hillary has left people waiting for, I think, one time three hours.
	People were just sitting there waiting for three hours for her to show up to give a speech.
	But I don't think it was for some nefarious reasons.
	I think it was because she, you know...
	I'm convinced Trump was making him wait.
	I'm convinced of it.
	It could be.
	It wouldn't surprise me.
	I pulled one clip...
	No, sorry.
	Okay, well, go on.
	Finish this up.
	I pull one clip where he creates a new term, which I like.
	We've used this in...
	Yeah, Trump.
	This is Wisconsin's speech.
	He's talking about the insiders.
	I thought a lot of this speech really hit the mark.
	It was very much oriented towards, as he says, African Americans, I want your vote.
	The Democrats have screwed you.
	He said that over and over again.
	Nice to hear all the white people cheering for that.
	And here he is on the insiders.
	When we talk about the insider, who are we talking about?
	It's the comfortable politicians looking out for their own interests.
	It's the lobbyists who know how to insert that perfect loophole into every single bill and get richer and richer and richer at your expense.
	It's the financial industry that knows how to regulate their competition right out of existence so there is no competition.
	The insiders also include the media executives, anchors, and journalists in Washington, Los Angeles, and New York City who are part of the same failed status quo and want nothing to change.
	They don't want it to change.
	They like it just fine the way it is now.
	He's channeling...
	Carlin here, I think.
	George Carlin.
	A little bit.
	Yeah.
	Every day you...
	Most people like the status quo, if they're comfortable.
	Yeah.
	You like it just fine the way it is now.
	Every day you pick up a newspaper or turn on the nightly news and you hear about some self-interest banker or some self-discredited Washington insider.
	Self-discredited?
	Do you discredit yourself often?
	I try to stay away from doing that.
	I wasn't quite sure what he meant by that.
	I don't know what he meant by that.
	It's referring to one specific person.
	Well, he was off-script a lot because I got the transcript as delivered to the press, which I presume was in the teleprompter.
	But he went off-script quite a bit.
	I'd say every two lines he was inserting stuff.
	Or some self-discredited Washington insider say they oppose Donald Trump's campaign.
	Or some encrusted old politician says they oppose...
	And this is interesting.
	When he's reading, he doesn't say says.
	He says says.
	It's really odd.
	Yeah.
	You know, like how we say measure?
	I just love saying measure.
	I never say measure.
	I do.
	You started me on it.
	How do you say it?
	Measure.
	That's exactly what I said.
	Measure.
	It's supposed to be.
	Most people say measure.
	Measure.
	Yeah, but we say measure.
	I think that's probably Chicago.
	And he doesn't say says, he says says.
	An old politician says they oppose our campaign, or some big-time lobbyist says they...
	That's weird, man.
	Wow, that's a good catch.
	You're on a roll today.
	Yeah, I'm sorry.
	Or some big-time lobbyist says they oppose the campaign of Trump.
	I wear their opposition as a badge of honor.
	Because it means I'm fighting.
	I'm fighting.
	All of us across the country are fighting for peaceful regime change in our own country.
	I thought that was one of the better quotes.
	I think that's really good.
	Peaceful regime change in our own country.
	I like that one.
	For peaceful regime change in our own country.
	And he didn't say in this country.
	He said in our own country.
	A double whammy.
	Change in our own country.
	The media donor political complex that's bled this country dry has to be replaced with a new government of, by, and for the people.
	I like that.
	The media donor political complex.
	A twist on a classic.
	It is a twist on a classic.
	You gotta love it.
	Well, they had a couple of things come out, like they had...
	I guess the CEO chairman or the chairman of NBC came out and blasted him.
	Well, he did that on a private Facebook post.
	Yeah, I know.
	Somebody leaked it.
	Of course.
	Which is just like perfect.
	We know MSNBC is in the bag for Hillary.
	And so that just proves it comes from the top.
	And it always comes from the top.
	And people should realize that.
	Do you have a clip of what he said?
	I don't have a clip because it was on Facebook.
	Oh, I have here.
	Yes.
	This is how AP reports it, my favorite word.
	the chairman of NBC Entertainment slammed Donald Trump, the network's one-time Apprentice star, as toxic and demented in a private Facebook post that became public.
	Robert Greenblatt's post refers to, quote, a sad state of affairs thanks to a pompous businessman turned reality TV star who thinks that speaking his mind is refreshing.
	It's actually corrosive and toxic because his mind is so demented and his effect will unfortunately linger long after he's been told to get off the stage.
	There you go.
	That seems a bit hateful.
	Uh, yeah.
	But of course, you know, don't post this stuff on Facebook, people.
	You guys are an idiot.
	Any of this stuff that gets out.
	I mean, anyone can make a small mistake and put something up and say, look what he said.
	I've done it myself.
	So the thing that they've done is to try to shake up the...
	I don't know what they're worried about.
	I mean, everybody says this guy is losing by 10 points everywhere.
	So what is the problem?
	But there seems to be a problem.
	So they railroaded Paul Manafort.
	Well, that's the story.
	I'm not so sure that's what happened behind the scenes.
	I mean, that's the way it's been interpreted and the way it's been played, but maybe they just got some new dudes in.
	That's kind of...
	Well, but Manafort's been demoted or his title's been changed.
	No, no, no.
	It's the exact same change.
	But there's now a CEO, which...
	He's the chairman, and so you'd expect...
	Okay, there's a CEO, and then there's a head of the campaign, which is, curiously, Kellyanne Conway.
	Yeah, that's the chick from...
	Isn't she on CNN all the time?
	As the Republican pundit?
	Yeah, she's the one I keep talking about.
	They put her on as a straw man, and then guys like Don Lemon just berate her.
	Yeah.
	They humiliate her as best they can.
	She did come on and kind of said something like that on the NewsHour.
	But there was one thing, there was a meme that came out.
	Woodruff has it, and it's the Woodruff...
	She asked Kellyanne about this particular meme.
	Do I have it here?
	It should say Woodruff somewhere.
	I don't have all my clips in the right.
	Let me see.
	National question?
	Nationist question.
	Nationist question from Woodruff.
	I just want to squeeze in one last question, and that is the description of the philosophy of this campaign as nationalist, almost isolationist.
	Is that something you accept?
	No.
	In fact, I emphatically reject it.
	And as I said, Judy, just hours ago, I sat in a roundtable with former and current congressmen, with generals, with elected officials at very high levels, with national security and foreign policy experts.
	And that was not the conversation around the table.
	I assure you, we allowed the press in.
	And so, no, I reject it.
	But I'm not surprised critics and naysayers have to do that.
	Look, the only thing I would ask of the Clinton campaign and many of their sympathizers is, when you're asked a question about Hillary Clinton, try not to say Donald Trump every other word.
	Now, she did mention that Manafort was at that meeting, and so nothing appeared to her to be changed either.
	But they have been doing a job on Manafort.
	And that's including...
	I saw them report on RT... Yeah.
	This is the kind of hit piece where you make all these accusations and then to get confirmation, you ask somebody and they either answer a completely different question or the answer in the in the opposite direction.
	But you but you keep the intensity up as though you are busting this guy's chops.
	But there's no evidence at all.
	It's all hollow.
	And CBS is not the best at this.
	I forgot, when we broke this down before, I think it was ABC that did one of the best jobs on this sort of reporting.
	But this is the CBS hit piece on Manafort.
	The Trump campaign manager who was pushed aside is Republican strategist Paul Manafort.
	And like many consultants, Manafort hired out to campaigns in other countries.
	One of his clients was the pro-Russian president of Ukraine, who was later overthrown.
	Now, Manafort's name has come up in a mysterious ledger that suggests big payments for his talents.
	Charlie Daggett is in Ukraine.
	Lazar Holodnitsky is Ukraine's new anti-corruption prosecutor.
	Leading the investigation into the secret handwritten ledger showing $5 billion in undisclosed cash payments that were allegedly handed out by the party of former President Viktor Yanukovych, Paul Manafort's client at the time.
	The prosecutor confirmed that Manafort's name appears 12 times for 22 different entries, totaling $12.7 million between 2007 and 2012.
	Are his signatures there?
	No.
	There's not any signature of Paul Manafort, but his name is being mentioned several times.
	Manafort has denied receiving...
	What?
	What?
	Did you hear that?
	No.
	They get all wound up on this, and they get to the guy who's the head of this investigation, or he's the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
	Is it Paul Manafort's signature there?
	The guy says no.
	Paul Manafort, but his name is being mentioned several times.
	His name is being mentioned.
	Wait, let me go back again.
	That's pretty crazy.
	This is very suggestive.
	There is not any signature of Paul Manafort, but his name is being mentioned several times.
	See?
	Wow.
	My goodness.
	See, you've already been hypnotized.
	I know, I know, I know.
	It blows right over you.
	It washes right across.
	It's a denial.
	That's crazy.
	And it washes right across because this is a designed hit piece.
	Yeah.
	And CBS should be ashamed of itself for doing this sort of reporting.
	I say this every time I run into one of these hit pieces.
	It's not a hit piece with any substance.
	No.
	There's no substance.
	It's just all suggestions, allegations.
	Guy's name was mentioned.
	Manafort has denied receiving any cash payments.
	Investigators say they're now tracking down each recipient who signed for the cash.
	The ledger itself is here at the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
	We weren't allowed to film it because of the ongoing investigation, but a source showed us a copy of one of the pages.
	On October 5th, 2012, Paul Manafort's name appears against a sum of $400,000 designated for exit polling.
	Another $812,000 was marked for international observers.
	Backed by Russia, Yanukovych was accused of corruption to fund a lavish lifestyle, including a palatial mansion complete with a private zoo.
	He was overthrown in 2014.
	Oh, boy.
	Let's add a couple of other little elements to this.
	Yeah, good.
	Crazy rich people.
	The guy, guilt by association at the end, a little icing on the cake.
	How about we take a look at Madeleine Albright and who she deals with?
	Well, she's actually doing these dirty deals.
	I don't believe this was true in this case.
	And let me tell you a couple of things because we have associates that are in Ukraine.
	The way this would be done if it was a corrupt system is you'd put Paul Manafort...
	Paul Manafort didn't sign anything.
	He didn't receive anything.
	His name is...
	So you're doing a deal.
	You want to steal $400,000.
	How are you going to do that?
	Well, I don't know.
	Let's put this American consultant.
	We use him because they talk about what they use him for.
	He was a strategy consultant for politics.
	He had nothing to do with campaigning in this case.
	Right, right.
	So you just put his name down, write it down, and then put $400,000.
	And $400,000 is not bad.
	And then you take the $400,000 and you give it to your buddy next door.
	But on the books, it looks like it went to Paul Manafort, who never signed for it or anything.
	But this is all nonsense.
	I mean, this whole report was an outrageous...
	Hit piece that wasn't even called for.
	I don't even know what the point of it was.
	Well, I do.
	We'll hear your second clip, then I'll tell you.
	A little bit of part two, which just brings it out a little bit.
	Also with the same onerous tone, so you don't realize that the guy is saying, this didn't happen, this is bullcrap.
	Manafort helped Yanukovych win several elections, and former co-worker Andrei Yirmalaev defended Manafort.
	Paul didn't run expensive technology projects, he said.
	He worked mostly in foreign policy, so I don't understand what this is about.
	Paul Manafort continued to work for Yanukovych's party even after the former president fled.
	Investigators believe the ledger was left behind in party headquarters.
	And Scott, the person who handed over that ledger is now in hiding.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	There's more to this.
	It was left behind.
	How does that jive with left behind and handed over?
	If it was left behind, it was left behind and discovered.
	Now, how was the guy who handed it over now in hiding, which is another thing to just create this atmosphere of suspicion?
	Yeah, secrecy.
	But who handed it over if it was left behind?
	It's even illogical.
	Here's how I see it.
	There was a meeting that was left on the table.
	The guy sees it, puts it in his bag, gives it.
	I don't think so.
	They would have put that in.
	I don't think so either.
	This is a nonsense report with contradictory information filled with the cognitive dissonance sort of thing.
	It was left behind, but somebody turned it in.
	I mean, that right there, those two sentences side by side are cognitive dissonance.
	Yes.
	This entire report is designed to confuse you.
	This guy comes out and he says, I don't know why they're blaming him for anything.
	He just came to do some policy stuff.
	He didn't do, as far as I can tell, he didn't do anything.
	And that's presented in a way as though he did.
	There's no excuses for this.
	Of course, this is to tie Trump to Russia.
	And Politico ran a story, again, no audio, of Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders putting out a warning that That, of course, is meant to help Hillary for any October surprise, October cyber surprise.
	Nancy Pelosi is among those sounding the alarm, saying, echoing security experts who say Russian security services have been known to doctor documents and images or bury fictitious damaging details amid genuine information.
	So, yeah, man.
	Like, you know, those emails have been doctored.
	Well, I've got a funny clip on that too, but before we go there, can we just play this Trump-Putin mocked by Archie, this connection between Trump and Putin?
	Well, while the scandal of Hillary Clinton's emails apparently worsens, the public attentions is largely fixed on her main rival, Donald Trump's supposed ties with Russia and Vladimir Putin, certainly keeping the media tongues wagging in America.
	Donald Trump is also facing questions tonight about his relationship with Vladimir Putin.
	In the Clinton campaign, they really jumped out on this story, pointing out what it calls troubling connections between Trump's campaign and pro-Russian elements.
	Explain to us Russia's love affair with Trump.
	Trump's relationship with the Kremlin has been under scrutiny.
	Right.
	It seems CNBC thinks it's found a watertight connection between the Russian leader and the Republican presidential nominee through his daughter Ivanka, all because she posted a photo with Wendy Deng, the ex-wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
	Well, according to the tabloid U.S. Weekly, Wendy used to date Vladimir Putin.
	While another news outlet has found even more alleged proof of Trump's close ties with Russia, the New York Times has pointed out that Donald Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was in the pay of the previous Ukrainian government as an advisor.
	He allegedly received millions from the ruling pro-Russian party.
	Allegedly.
	Allegedly.
	Unbelievable.
	You gotta think.
	Why are they so afraid of him?
	That's all you gotta think.
	Why is that?
	The polls say they shouldn't have to worry.
	You're right.
	No, the polls say you can coast.
	Just coast it.
	No worries, no worries.
	Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	It's A in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for Complex of Political Donors and Media, Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all the ships that see boots on the ground, feeding the air subs in the water and all the dams and nights out there.
	In the morning to Nick the Rat, who brought us the artwork for episode 851.
	Nick.
	Nick is back on the stick.
	Good to see you.
	This, of course, was Captain Talking Points.
	And the artwork that Nick gave us was Little Lady and Her Weed Dispensary, which was kind of cool.
	We thought that was funny.
	also i need to say thank you to cesium 137 he brought us the artwork for episode 848 i believe or 849 it was 849 the the 2000.8 episode which was 850 i guess i you know anybody thank you cesium Yeah.
	And thanks to everyone who is always putting stuff up there.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	I love the artwork.
	It's an important part of the show.
	And you are appreciated.
	Very much so.
	Jeffrey Wolfers in London begins our donation segment with an executive producer donation of $500 from London, England.
	Hey citizens, I thought it was time to true up.
	Is that a phrase that you use in England?
	I guess.
	True up?
	True up.
	After a long period of listening but not funding, I thought the summer doldrums was a good time to make good.
	Not sure, but I think this makes me a knight.
	Check your records.
	If I'm good, make me Sir Geoffrey of Camden.
	All my fellow Londoners will understand.
	Give me some karma as I help propagate the formula.
	Excellent.
	Thank you very much, Jeff.
	You've got karma.
	We will be knighting you later on.
	Stephen Hightower in Glen Ellyn, California, the home of Jack London.
	$500.
	Dogs!
	Just heard your plea on Sunday's show versus bandwidth costs, infrastructure, etc., and it's motivational.
	Hope it works with others.
	Agree with your proposition and have increasingly seen eye-opening info in your deconstructions.
	Don't need cred.
	Let me see if he doesn't need cred, but give him a karma anyway.
	Yeah.
	You've got karma.
	Nicholas Holler in Portland, Oregon.
	$420.420.
	Greetings, John and Adam.
	I have traveled great distances since I last donated and have been taken for granted, or have been taking for granted, the effort and cost of providing the best podcast in the universe, which, with its overwhelming value, while downloading the previous show to listen to during a four-hour drive, I was annoyed to find how slow the episode was downloading.
	Naturally, I blame my internet provider because they suck.
	But upon listening to the second donation segment, I became enlightened to what was likely the cause of my problem, an excessive number of douchebags who have been long-sensitive listeners who never donate to offset the cost of the growing audience.
	Speaking of a long-time douchebag since my last donation, it has come to my attention that the carpool buddy who so graciously hit me in the mouth last year has yet to donate.
	Uh-oh.
	He even texted me soon after the show saying he would.
	For the outrage, I not only called Josh Reed out as a douchebag, I also issued him a challenge to achieve knighthood before I do.
	Come at me, bro!
	Thank you again for the best podcast in the universe.
	And karma.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, I'm following his cue sheet.
	He had a cue sheet for me.
	You nailed it.
	Andrew C. Wirt in Laurenburg, North Carolina, came in with a note that he wrote by hand.
	Let me see if I have it here.
	Let me see.
	Do I have something?
	I have it.
	Okay, you got it.
	Andrew Wirt.
	No sound effects for me.
	It's time to get serious, he says.
	In my last letter, I made some silly jokes about Trump pumping.
	While Adam Seed seemed mildly amused and seemed to piss off John, it seems that I underestimated the scope of the problem.
	And so, all joking aside, please allow me to set the record straight.
	We're seeing an unprecedented wave of bias and propaganda in the modern media against a candidate that the establishment considers a great threat to their power and wealth.
	The fact that the No Agenda show is focusing so much attention on Trump has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
	It has everything to do with a coordinated, intentional effort to mislead the public about a presidential candidate and derail his campaign.
	A clip of the day from Nene's show 848 demonstrated this wonderfully, as CNN host admits on the air while his co-host laughs.
	And he says, I know, I know, we couldn't help her any more than we have.
	She's gotten a free ride from the media.
	One of the biggest ones promoting her campaign.
	How brazen.
	The bias against Bernie Sanders was nearly as bad.
	And we have, by the way, there's something I always forget to mention on the show, is that while Trump was getting these huge audiences and the media was covering him closely to ridicule him, Bernie was getting bigger audiences in many cases, and they weren't covering anything.
	They were just...
	Right.
	It's the same thing.
	You ignore this guy.
	Same thing.
	I have that Cuomo thing.
	It's 20 seconds.
	Might as well play it so everyone hears it again.
	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.
	About deciding.
	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.
	Good work.
	The bias against Bernie Sanders was nearly as bad as we have seen the emails detailing the DNC's efforts against him as well.
	You guys are doing a great service to our country by exposing this nonsense, and the fact that you are taking a financial hit to do so earns you even more of my respect.
	Thank you.
	We need more people in the media who are...
	That's why I was probably irked when he brought this up, because it bothers me.
	We need more people in the media who are earnestly seeking the truth.
	I have found both of you to be among the most subjective voices.
	Thank you for your courage.
	P.S. He's the future Sir Luna de Tique de la Fringe, and he lies.
	He says, I lied.
	I want a Zika, Zika, Zika song.
	See, when I don't have that...
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	And then a karma.
	Yeah, I'll do a short one.
	May I have Zika, zika, zika, zika, zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	1.9 billion dollars.
	Zika, zika, zika, zika, zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	Small heads are coming.
	You're going to do it.
	You watch.
	We're going to have a problem.
	You've got karma.
	Small heads are coming.
	They're coming.
	Mike Lambert in Manitou Springs, Colorado, 33362.
	Business partner turned me on to the show.
	Been a douchebag for a bit.
	Please do de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	I call my business partner, John Johnson.
	Douchebag!
	That's funny.
	I use 333.62.
	My birthday is 3-3-1962.
	Thanks, Mike Lambert.
	Onward to...
	This is one of those things on the spreadsheet that I click on it and it skips over it.
	So you're going to have to read this guy.
	This is the one in yellow.
	Greetings, fellow guardians of Surreality and miners of the Crystalline Truth.
	This donation is on behalf of my brother Dan Vosichek and his son Jasper, whose birthdays are August 20th and the 23rd respectively.
	Make sure to mention it's Gabriel Vosichek, Great Falls, Montana.
	Let me just make sure.
	See now, yes, Gabriel Vastacek.
	Got it.
	I would like to, this credit to go to Dan and his march toward knighthood.
	While we both have made smaller donations in the past, this is the first executive producership for either of us.
	I couldn't think of a harder working, fun loving, more deserving couple of people to earn it.
	That's actually him.
	Thanks for all you do, keeping the water wheels in motion full of flow.
	Happy birthday, Dan and Jasper.
	And thank you, John and Adam, for the amazing show.
	As a longtime dissector of the status quo narrative, I appreciate that your show proves the media assassination can be informative and entertaining.
	Laughter is important while having to watch this horribly misguided reality show of politics.
	Your show helps me stay informed, but not to take it all too personally or let it pollute my thought environment.
	Yes.
	Comedy really is one of the last bastions of truth-telling, and long may the best podcast in the universe rule as royalty in the realm.
	Thank you for all your courage, and our best wishes to you and yours, and Tom Waits as well.
	He's got a couple of jingle requests.
	Yeah, okay, so I think I can do these.
	Where's the, uh, yeah.
	Before it's a crime, it's pre-crime.
	Ten trails.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	You've got karma.
	I nailed that one.
	You did.
	Rick Olson's next on the list with $333.33 from Ellensburg, Washington.
	My only message is this.
	Fuck the boners.
	With everyone that listens on the stream and in the chat room, it's disheartening to hear that support for the show is on a decline.
	Love the show, love the analysis, and hope this meager pittance of $333.33 helps get you through a little longer.
	For Adam, the only jingle request I have is Hillary Clippity-Clop, Whoopie, Get Out of My Vagina, and Little Girl, Yay, would love to hear it mixed.
	Clippity-Clop, Get Out of My Vagina.
	Karma, to both of you.
	It's Clippity-Clop.
	The message is clear.
	Just Clippity-Clop.
	Get Out of My Vagina.
	Get Out of My Vagina!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Extra special mix.
	I don't know what that was doing there.
	I do.
	Oh, I get it.
	Oh, brother.
	Here's another one of these notes that's too long, but I think I can manage this one.
	And I'll do it this way.
	In the morning, it's not...
	And I'm going to say the guy's name later.
	In the morning, it's not just the boys who are initiating rough sex.
	I'm a 40-year-old male.
	I've been getting with women between...
	This is for you, actually.
	Hold on.
	You skipped one.
	You skipped Susan Johnson.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	You're right.
	Yeah.
	Susan Johnson.
	Yes, I did.
	Well, that's because, you know, people, these notes, it's bigger than the whole page of the spreadsheet.
	It's very difficult to work with.
	Susan Johnson in Newburgh, Oregon.
	Sorry, Susan.
	260.
	She did send a note, and she sent a check-in.
	That's why it is where it is.
	Thursday the 18th is my son Evan Johnson's 26th birthday.
	Uh-oh.
	Uh-oh.
	This means get a pencil.
	Get a pencil.
	Hold on a second.
	Okay.
	Hit it.
	Evan Johnson 26th.
	On the 18th is 26th.
	And that's her what?
	Her son.
	Okay.
	If you receive my donation and letter in time for the podcast on the 18th, I will have used up all my good karma and certainly need more.
	Evan hit me in the mouth a couple of months ago, and I have not missed an episode since my first show, number 835.
	Alright.
	Thank you for your insights and explanations of the jabber that fills the media.
	Keep up the great work and the best podcast in the universe.
	I would love to hear Obama can't touch this.
	And Gitmo Nation National Anthem, we can put that at the end.
	Okay.
	Because it's so long for this segment.
	Evan's favorite is the Zika jingle.
	Tell me about the random number.
	With the meme theme.
	I don't know what this is, but hoping, assuming you do.
	Okay.
	What was the Obama thing she wanted again?
	She wants the Obama can't touch this.
	Can't touch this.
	No, no, no, no.
	I don't know.
	I remember it, but what would I have labeled it?
	I have no idea.
	Oh, man.
	I know exactly what it is.
	I can't touch this.
	Was it a no, no, no thing?
	I'm guessing, because that's really only the stuff that we ever did.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	I'm going to have to look for that.
	I have no idea where that is.
	What else does she want?
	Just a Karma?
	No, no.
	She wanted the Gitmo Nation National Anthem.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	Well, then how about this?
	Wait, wait.
	Evan's favorite is the Zika jingle, which I think is the same one we played a minute ago.
	Yeah.
	With the Eminem theme.
	How about I do this?
	I can do...
	I found the mariachi, the Obama mariachi that we were looking for, and then I'll do the full Zika jingle.
	All right?
	Yeah.
	How does that sound?
	My goodness.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	Listen!
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	You're in my house.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	Come on, guys!
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Shame on you.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	Okay.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	I'm up in the house.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	I don't remember that.
	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.
	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.
	Small heads are coming.
	There we go.
	Now we have Mr.
	Tech E. Mr.
	Tech E. Tech E, yeah.
	And I found another trick here on the spreadsheet program.
	I'm not going to read this whole note, but I have to read this part because this is the...
	For the porn segment.
	This is your porn study.
	It's not just the boys, it says Mr.
	Tech E from Parts Unknown, who are initiating rough sex.
	I'm a 40-year-old male.
	I've been getting with women between 24 and 36.
	Sounds good.
	The girls...
	The girls in their 20s are asking me to be as rough as possible.
	Choke them, pull the hair, smack their ass, bite them everywhere.
	Come in their face, mirrors, jam their heads against the headboard, spit in their face, and on.
	Oh my god.
	There's more.
	There's more.
	I can't continue with examples.
	For the love of grace, I've been pulled into an alley while walking between a bar and an ice cream shop.
	Yes, ice cream.
	Because she wanted me to bend her over behind a dumpster.
	Oh, man.
	Not urban, but a rich suburb called Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
	Grosse Pointe for a good reason.
	Recently, a young lady during copulation spoke in my ear during Marvel's Jessica Jones when she said, you can't break me.
	Notice how more and more stations are showing rough, dominating sex, starting with cable networks.
	And I'm and I've gone to net network.
	Any woman younger.
	Anyways, it's confusing.
	Oh, man.
	Kind of creepy.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Not for me.
	I'd rather get them off.
	Okay.
	I'd rather get them off, join a joint, sip or two of wine, and get them off again.
	Pleasure the women.
	That's how I was brought up.
	Hell yeah.
	That's how we were brought up too, John.
	Real men.
	We don't pull your hair.
	We don't choke you.
	We're going to have to put some of this stuff together and maybe just...
	A giblet.
	A giblet.
	It's time for an Amazon giblet.
	Yeah.
	I don't see how many.
	How much did he donate?
	I can't tell.
	233.33.
	Okay, great.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	Do you have any requests at the end for jingles?
	No.
	No.
	But I'm going to give him some karma for that.
	He certainly needs some.
	Dumpster karma.
	Gross weight.
	What is up with that?
	And finally on the list is Stephanie Ernst in Chicago.
	$201.
	I don't have a note from her.
	Let's take a look at our email.
	We do have a minute.
	We've got plenty of minutes.
	Stephanie Ernst.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Ernst.
	I'm Stephanie Ernst.
	I believe I'm a producer.
	Today I donated $201.
	Yesterday I just wanted to ask you guys to give a shout out to Matt McVader in Chicago.
	I want to say thank you for getting me into the program and I want to let him know that I'm no longer a douchebag.
	Very best from Stephanie Ernst.
	Stephanie, that gets you a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And your very first karma.
	Well deserved.
	You've got karma.
	Outstanding.
	Thank you so much.
	Uh-uh.
	Outstanding behind the dumpster.
	Yeah, that's it for our execs.
	That would be it, yes.
	And I want to thank everyone.
	I remind you, we do another show coming up shortly.
	And that will be on Sunday.
	And that would also mean Dvorak.org slash NA would be a good idea of a place to visit.
	Yes, and these credits are real.
	You can use them anywhere credits are accepted.
	They appear to work very well getting traffic on your LinkedIn page or your profile.
	So give that a shot.
	Dvorak.org.
	Slash N-A. Even if you just came in in the second segment, you can still be out there propagating the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	Um, have a little clippy here.
	I should have teased it.
	Would have been good.
	We heard Dr.
	Drew, Dr.
	Drew Pinsky, on Donald Trump, following along perfectly with the Goldwater Rule.
	Did you do any further research on the Goldwater Rule?
	No, I was watching the Olympics.
	Which means, as a professional medical doctor or psychologist, you never want to diagnose a political candidate with anything.
	Right, because you can get sued.
	You can get sued, yes.
	Now, Dr.
	Drew was on a radio show, which I got a clip from, talking about Hillary Clinton's health.
	So, of course, if we're going to buy into what he said about Trump, we should probably buy into what he says about Hillary.
	Interesting, though, that this is not on CNN. He has not been asked by Don Lemon to come on CNN and talk about Hillary Clinton's health.
	No, he's been asked to come on to talk about Donald Trump's mental health.
	And I found this clip to be just astounding.
	I just called a friend of mine, Dr.
	Robert Heisinger, who's an excellent internist pulmonologist, and we just dispassionately sat and evaluated the medical record that she had released.
	And based on the information that she has provided and her doctors have provided...
	We were gravely concerned, not just about her health care, not about her health, but her health care.
	Why?
	Well, it's hard for people to understand.
	Both of us concluded that if we were providing the care that she was receiving, we'd be ashamed to show up in a doctor's lounge.
	We'd be laughed out.
	She's receiving sort of 1950-level sort of care by our evaluation.
	So we took a look at her record, and here are the basic facts.
	She had two episodes of what's called deep venous thrombosis.
	Common problem, blood clots in the leg.
	She also has hypothyroidism.
	And she'd been treated for hypothyroidism with something called armor thyroid, which is very unconventional.
	Now, that's strange because some of my relationships have included women with hypothyroidism.
	And armor thyroid is not...
	I mean, that's a very...
	I think very often prescribed...
	So I don't know where he's coming from with this.
	That's crazy, crazy to do something like that, but I'm not the doctor.
	Armour thyroid, which is very unconventional and something that we used to use back in the 60s.
	And both he and I went, hmm, that's weird.
	And by the way, wow, armour thyroid sometimes has some weird side effects.
	Oh, well, okay.
	So she goes on Coumadin.
	That's weird.
	Because Coumadin really isn't even used anymore.
	Now we use Eliquis or Xarelto, things like this.
	Certainly somebody, the presidential candidate, would get one of the newer anticoagulants.
	Then she falls, hits her head, and the complication of that has something called a transverse sinus thrombosis.
	This is an exceedingly rare clot.
	I've only seen one of these in my career, which is a clot in the collecting system for the cerebral spinal fluid.
	And it essentially guarantees that somebody has something wrong with their coagulation system.
	Well, she's had two clots, a transverse sinus thrombosis.
	What's wrong with her coagulation system?
	Has that been evaluated?
	And oh, by the way, armor thyroid?
	Associated rarely with hypercoagulability.
	So the very medicine the doctors are using may be causing this problem, and they're using an old-fashioned medicine to treat it.
	What is going on with her healthcare?
	It's bizarre.
	I gotta tell you, look, maybe they have reasons, but at a distance it looks bizarre.
	There ought to be some sort of standard for people that are going to lead the country or are going to be making these important decisions.
	This, again, Hillary may be fine with all of this.
	I mean, it's dangerous and it's concerning, but you can see, and by the way, there are two other things that gravely concerned us.
	When she hit her head, she had to wear these prism glasses when she came out.
	That is brain damage, and so that's affecting her balance.
	Now, clearly it hasn't affected her cognition, but...
	Tell us a little more about that.
	That's profound.
	And then number two, when they screen her for heart disease, again, they did an old-fashioned screen.
	It just seems like she's getting care from somebody that she met in Arkansas when she was a kid.
	And I just, you've got to wonder.
	You've got to wonder.
	It's not so much that her health is a grave concern, it's that the care she's good in couldn't make it a concern.
	No.
	And it was a great, that's clip of the day.
	Thank you.
	I felt it was up there.
	A couple of comments on this.
	The first comment is, we've never heard anything like this, and why doesn't Don Lemon have this on his show?
	That guy's a douche.
	Yeah.
	And even if it was on Don Lemon's show, who would care?
	Who would hear it?
	Well, there's that.
	So a couple things about this.
	First of all, when he says this sounds like a really old person that she knew from Arkansas, it is very possible this is a doctor who doesn't really practice anymore, therefore doesn't know about the newer drugs, and just wrote a scenario and wrote a prescription to go along with it, and here is your health report.
	That's possible.
	It would make nothing but sense.
	I got a note from producer Dustin Jones.
	I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	I was going to say there's still an element in here that needs to be discussed.
	Well, hold on.
	A note from producer Dustin Jones.
	I was listening with my wife in the room at the part where Dr.
	Drew says Coumadin isn't really used anymore.
	She perks up and says, that's bullshit.
	My wife has lupus and is on Coumadin, and it's for a very specific medical reason related to the lupus.
	My wife explained to me why, but I forgot, and it's really irrelevant.
	Good one.
	She says she can't take Eliquis or Xarelto because of this specific reason.
	Also, according to her, both Eliquis and Xarelto have issues when you need to stop the bleeding, like if you're on it and you get a gash or something, and there's a number of lawsuits related to it.
	Finally, Eliquis and Xarelto are, from what I can tell, still under patent.
	Coumadin is not.
	That would make sense in Dr.
	Drew's world, where he's like, oh, come on, we can't be selling that stuff.
	We gotta sell the stuff that we still make good money on.
	Right.
	I think that is probably something that has to do with that.
	I kind of agree with that.
	What is otherwise undiscussed?
	Well, he says the only time he's ever seen this one crazy thing, this crazy clot that made her, where she supposedly hit her head, he was very taken aback by what the results were, where she had this bleeding here and it didn't make any sense to him.
	He says he's only seen this once in his entire career.
	This is accounted for by the plane crash, which nobody wants to talk about.
	Well, you know, a lot of people are saying that, you know, oh, you're full of crap.
	We looked through the WikiLeaks and the only thing that was in there was a report about the conspiracy theory.
	Did you read those memos carefully?
	Of course I did.
	No, not you.
	Oh.
	Okay, why?
	The person that's making this.
	No, there's a number of people.
	Please explain why they need to be read carefully.
	Okay.
	Because if you read the back and forth, you can tell that something was up.
	It was discussed, yeah, it was discussed as a conspiracy theory.
	But it seems to me that all they were doing in those memos, there was two or three people going back and forth on this, was confirming everything.
	Yeah, people, they really are poor at reading.
	And even if that wasn't in there, I mean, these are discussion-worthy topics.
	I mean, it's in the WikiLeaks emails.
	Yeah, can somebody just bring it up?
	Yeah.
	Here's a question for you who are, oh, it's just because...
	Here's the question.
	Why doesn't somebody bring this up at a press conference?
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Hillary hasn't held a press conference for like a year.
	So she's not going to talk about it, but somebody else could.
	They could ask someone else.
	Yeah.
	And that is the only thing that makes sense with all these crazy diagnoses and the fact that she had brain damage.
	Yeah.
	Which is the funny thing in that, which got you the clip of the day, is what this means.
	She had brain damage.
	Yeah.
	He said it right there.
	He said it right there.
	That's brain damage.
	Yeah.
	That's brain damage.
	You don't get brain damage from tripping in the bathroom, necessarily.
	I mean, you could, but...
	She was unkind.
	Anyway.
	Read the documents yourself.
	While we're on drugs for a moment, and I mean that literally, we finally got a report, a study.
	Let me just see who have the PLOS. Was it PLOS? The actual document here.
	Hold on a second.
	This is a published report.
	Prescription drugs associated with reports of violence toward others.
	And here we go.
	The study, Moore and his collaborators, extracted all serious events reported from the FDA's database from 2004 through September 2009 and identified 484 drugs that had triggered, and we're talking about SSRIs here.
	We're talking about everything from Shantix to Adderall to Oxy, I guess.
	No, not Oxy.
	What's the SSRI? It can be a good one.
	Serotonin.
	Yeah.
	All this stuff.
	Most of it.
	Yeah.
	Let's see.
	It triggered at least 200 case reports of serious adverse events of any type during that 69-month period.
	They then investigated to see if any of these 484 drugs had a disproportionate association with violence.
	They identified 31 such drugs out of the 484 that met this criteria.
	The 31 suspect drugs accounted for 1,527 of the 1,937 case reports of violence towards others in the FDA database for that 69-month period.
	The drugs in that list of 31 included varenicline, which is the key ingredient in Shantix, smoking cessation, 11 antidepressants, 6 hypnotic sedatives, and 3 drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
	Antidepressants were responsible for 572 case reports of violence towards others, the three ADHD drugs for 108, and the hypnotic or sedatives for 97.
	This is a pretty damning report.
	I'd say.
	It's probably just the tip of the iceberg.
	Yeah.
	And that will go nowhere.
	But it's just for your own edification.
	Of course it's going to go nowhere, because the drug companies pointed it out in the last newsletter.
	Yeah.
	You can't, the drug companies, and by the way, when I said the, that comment I was making about, people always say this, oh, Fox News, oh, Fox News, there's a dying audience, there's a bunch of old farts, oh, the network news, no kids listen to it, there's a dying audience, they're all going to be out of business in no time.
	I said in the newsletter, and I've never said it on the show, but they want this old audience.
	Yeah.
	Because selling to these drug companies, which is all you see.
	I always make a list one of these days of all the drug ads on all these network news shows.
	They're 90-second ads.
	They're easy to sell.
	They're expensive.
	And there's lots of them, and this is perfect for this.
	So you do the kind of marketing you tend to do in broadcasting media of any sort is you accumulate a group of people.
	As a product and sell it to the advertiser.
	That's what you do.
	That's what we do the opposite.
	So that's what the network news stations are doing.
	And they really have a nice band of people because you're looking at 40 plus, I'd say, is where you start getting put on beta blockers and all this stuff you probably don't even need.
	There's just more people coming into their band all the time.
	And, of course, they're going to sell cars.
	Everyone's going to put some cars on during Chevy truck month.
	Yeah.
	They're always going to put Coca-Cola on there because everyone will drink that.
	And beer.
	Actually, there's very little Coca-Cola or beer on the network news shows.
	Really?
	Very little.
	In fact, I don't know that I've ever seen a Coke ad.
	Well, you do get car ads, but they tend to be high-end, like Lexus would be on there.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Lots of BMW and Audi ads.
	You get the...
	Drag, drag, drag, drag, drag, drag.
	And that's about it.
	That's where the money is.
	Go look at the money.
	What are they doing on Lipitor alone at $6 billion in the United States?
	They do not...
	This is one of the things I learned at PC Magazine when I was being lectured about how to do special interest publications.
	One of the things you'd run into is that people would say, oh, you know, your magazine is great, but it's too high-end.
	You should have some stuff in there for beginners.
	Yeah.
	And it was laughable.
	And every once in a while you bring some new person in and edit staff and they think this way too.
	And they have to be like, they almost get fired for thinking this way.
	Because what you're doing is you're watering down the core group that you're selling to the advertisers.
	You want people that we used to call brand specifiers.
	The guys with all the know-it-alls.
	The guys who'd read PC Magazine so they could complain.
	They used an ampersand when they should have used a carrot.
	That code is wrong.
	Yeah.
	That is the guy you want.
	Double space versus tab, I'm telling you.
	So the network news guys are not going to appeal to kids or middle-agers or anybody else because they've packaged a beautiful group of people to sell to advertisers.
	And that's why the news offering is so pathetic as well.
	Yeah, that's what...
	Yeah, this is the truth.
	They don't want to hear about what's going on in Europe.
	No.
	No, they don't care.
	Hey, I forgot.
	I wanted to thank Sir John the Brewer.
	Oh yes, John the Brewer.
	Did you get anything from Sir John?
	No, I haven't gotten anything.
	Yeah, he sent me...
	He sent a date in about complaining about something else.
	Oh, he sent me six bottles of beer?
	Yeah.
	And so one of them did not make the journey, but he had done it well in contrast to the previous shipment I received.
	He put each individual bottle in an airtight baggie and then had a lot of newspaper in the box as well to protect, but also to soak it up.
	And so one top...
	I guess it just wasn't because it's all homemade.
	It's all home-brewed stuff.
	It was a little loose, and so there was nothing left, but there's also no evidence of the beer except in the newspaper.
	Oh, well, this is the way he should do it from now on.
	He's come up with a formula that works.
	He sent me some Larry Browns, Mississippi Blues Trail ales, and really good stuff.
	I drank two of them last night.
	And you know what that does with me?
	Beer.
	While on the job.
	Yeah.
	And we can finally say bye-bye!
	That's a bad joke.
	I was thinking of using a joke like that on the Twitter, but I decided it was tasteless.
	I did it on the Twitter, and no one called me out on it.
	Well, you know, it's possible.
	We did a whole expose on that show about five years ago.
	We're talking about John McLaughlin of the McLaughlin Group.
	One of his producers used to be a show listener.
	I've never heard from him since, but...
	They broke down the show, how it was rehearsed, and how it was scripted, and how it worked, and who was on there, and they put down different people.
	It was a lot of inside dirt.
	It was great.
	And this show was, you know, I don't know that anybody really watched it.
	He had buffaloed the public broadcasting folks into making himself bigger than he was.
	Oh, yeah.
	But he was a staple.
	He was an icon.
	I'll miss him.
	Bye-bye!
	I'll miss him.
	I'll miss him.
	Well, I was actually going to do a piece on him about a month ago, or maybe even less, because I have clips of him.
	He sounds like he was dead already.
	The last couple of months of him, anyone who's seen the show will notice, he can't sit up.
	He's like the Polish Pope on his head, and he couldn't lift his head anymore, so his head was on the side all the time.
	That was funny.
	Well, I don't know how funny it was, but that's what it was.
	And this was McLaughlin, and he lost all his weight, so his clothes looked like they were falling off him.
	He was on his way out.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'll miss him.
	I like watching.
	I did not watch regularly.
	And, of course, Eleanor on the show.
	Yeah, what's she going to do now?
	Well, she's at Huffington Post.
	No, I thought she said The Beast.
	Oh, who knows?
	October 7th.
	I'll be in New York for, it's called the New York Audio Summit.
	And this is that university thing that didn't happen last year, if you recall.
	I was going to go and be on a panel with the CEO of NPR. So I think that's happening now at this event.
	And so Tina's going to come.
	I think we'll probably do a meetup.
	I think we're going to see if we can get out Thursday after the show and return on Monday so we can do a meet-up in New York.
	Do a meet-up at the Sparks Bar.
	We should just make that our meet-up place.
	Yeah, Sparks.
	And it's kind of interesting, you know, because, of course, this will be about the future of radio.
	It'll include people from Sirius XM satellite radio.
	It'll include NPR, of course.
	And I will be representing the podcasters of the universe.
	Oh, good.
	You probably could represent the podcasters best of all.
	I have some standing.
	What is interesting that comes right along, and this is, I mean, I cannot believe, I'm going to have to have a chat with Jarl, Jarl Mohn, better known as Lee Masters.
	NPR is shutting down comments on all its websites.
	Talk about a mistake.
	Well, it is a mistake, but I can see why they do it.
	I've looked at, it's rough out there.
	So what?
	But that means people are coming to your damn site.
	Why would you?
	Oh, don't comment.
	What?
	No, I'm sorry.
	That makes no sense.
	Okay, so people are calling each other.
	Comments are most of the entertainment value.
	Yes, thank you.
	Thank you.
	I mean, I read comments.
	Occasionally when I'm doing a breakdown of something or a deconstruction of some specific thing that happens to be, you can catch it on the internet, I'll look at the comments because within the comments, usually if there's like hundreds of comments, I don't like it when there's thousands because then you can't get through it.
	But if there's like maybe 50 to 100 comments, usually within the comments, and budding writers should notice this, there's material in there.
	Yeah.
	That is usable.
	Yeah, jokes, all kinds of stuff.
	There's jokes, there's punchlines, and there's also observations from some expert who has to go online and blurt it out.
	He goes, I used to work at the NSA, and that's not the way they do things.
	They have a code 3 before they do a code 4, not a code 3 before they do a code 2.
	You've got it backwards.
	Exactly.
	There's lots of experts in there.
	That's the real sources.
	And so we certainly try to do that here.
	By the way, the chat room is not the same.
	While it's sure you can throw in a joke or whatever, but the chat room is supposed to be an integrated part of the production.
	You are giving me information in real time.
	When you put crap in there, the signal-to-noise ratio screws up.
	Correcting mistakes.
	It's great.
	Yeah, that's great.
	It's a major thing for podcasters who, you know, we make mistakes as we yak away.
	This show is done without rehearsals.
	Yeah, unlike Chris Cuomo.
	Yeah, like Chris Cuomo.
	So while that's happening here in the Gitmo Nation East, the United States of the Kingdom of Great Britain, The Metropolitan Police are now, they have got a special team, a team of specialist police officers is being set up to investigate online hate crimes, including abuse, on Twitter and Facebook.
	So this thing is funded.
	It's a pilot project, $2 million.
	They already got a quarter of it from the London mayor's office.
	And the spokesman said there would be no, no place for hate.
	In London.
	And there would be a zero tolerance of online abuse.
	The team, which will be set up in the coming months, will identify the location of crimes and allocate them to the appropriate force.
	This is from the BBC. They will work with a team of volunteers.
	Oh, that just fell apart there.
	I think they're just out to get Katie Hopkins.
	The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, known as MOPAC, which is something very different here in Austin, said social media provides hate crime perpetrators with a veil of anonymity, making it harder to bring them to justice and potentially impacting a larger number of people.
	Victims can become isolated, living in fear of the online behavior materializing in the real world.
	Community groups in London have told us that online hate crime is an issue of increasing concern to them and one for which the police response has in the past been inconsistent.
	Ladies and gentlemen of Britain, are you going to accept this?
	Are you going to take this?
	That speech is going to be punishable?
	It already is, but if you say, hey, you suck, you old guy, that would be a hate crime because it's ageism.
	Ageism, yeah.
	Somehow I don't think they'll be looking for that specifically, but come on!
	Who's standing up and saying, no, this is very dangerous.
	You can't do this stuff.
	Okay, I heard crickets.
	No one's standing up.
	I have one last thing for you.
	Catching up on the protocol for the National Anthem, if you are not in uniform, should you hold your hand over your heart or not?
	Well, turns out there's a law.
	Ah, a law.
	U.S. Code, that's right.
	36 U.S. Code, Section 301, National Anthem.
	This is the law, people.
	Designation.
	The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star Spangled Banner is the National Anthem.
	Conduct during playing of the National Anthem.
	During a rendition of the National Anthem 1.
	Hold on.
	When the flag...
	I'm sure this wasn't in the onion.
	I want to just make sure...
	No, this is from Cornell's Law Library.
	Okay.
	Yeah, this is fact and truth.
	When the flag is displayed, individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note, which, as you know, is a really long one.
	Yeah.
	B. Members of the armed forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform and all other persons present should face the flag, stand at attention with their right hand over the heart,
	and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart, And when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
	Okay.
	Now we know.
	Yeah.
	Well, you don't want to be in violation.
	You don't want to be in violation.
	Don't want to be in violation.
	You want to be a rule follower.
	So what is the punishment and the enforcement sections of this bill?
	What's the punishment and how do they enforce it?
	I don't think there is a punishment section.
	Should there be?
	Well, I mean, what if you don't do it?
	What are they going to do to you?
	Are they going to hit you in the head, punch you in the gut?
	What's the deal?
	I'm a rule follower.
	So if the rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do it.
	Yeah, follow the rule.
	Let me see.
	Notes.
	Well, there's a lot of addenda.
	Hmm.
	Publication.
	I generally do not see people putting their hand over their hearts.
	I think that's probably the majority opinion.
	I see a lot of people doing it.
	Yeah.
	It is.
	You know, it's Title 36, Subtitle 1, Part A, Chapter 3.
	It does not have...
	I didn't know that veterans are supposed to salute.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I don't see any...
	I'm looking around here.
	But if you're not a veterinarian, you salute.
	Is there a provision for that?
	No, there's no provision.
	Now, there's service flag.
	Oh, this is interesting.
	Service flag and service lapel button.
	I have a flag.
	Do you have a flag lapel button?
	Yeah, I love the little flag pin.
	Yeah.
	A service flag approved.
	Oh, wait.
	What country are you from?
	Individuals entitled to display the service flag.
	Oh, I'm not really entitled, I guess.
	A service flag approved by the Secretary of Defense.
	Oh, it has to be approved.
	Like a rabbi.
	It has to bless it.
	It's kosher.
	Or maybe halal.
	Like a halal flag.
	Man.
	Okay.
	I didn't know.
	What?
	You didn't finish.
	We don't know what you're talking about.
	Oh, okay.
	A service flag approved by the Secretary of Defense may be displayed in a window of the place of residence of individuals who are members...
	A little bitty flag?
	You're talking about a lapel pin in the window?
	No, I'm sorry.
	Here's the lapel button.
	A service lapel button approved by the Secretary may be worn by members of the immediate family of an individual serving in the armed forces of the United States during any period of war or hostilities in which the armed forces of the United States are engaged.
	What about Donald Trump wearing one?
	Well, he may be approved.
	Check this out.
	Any person may apply to the Secretary of Defense for a license to manufacture and sell the approved service flag or the approved service lapel button, or both.
	Any person that manufactures a service flag or service lapel button without having first obtained a license or otherwise violates this section is liable to the United States government for a civil penalty of not more than $1,000.
	So if you're in China illegally making these flags and you import them, you could be fined for a thousand bucks?
	I don't think...
	I've never heard this enforced.
	Yeah.
	I think there's a lot of lax laws they're not enforcing.
	They're just asking for trouble.
	Scuff laws.
	They're encouraging it.
	I'm just reporting.
	This is an interesting segment.
	I just figured I'd throw a couple things out at you, you know, like I'd do something fun.
	Why don't you play me a clip?
	All right, let's go on with that.
	How come this isn't being...
	I'm just going to ask you.
	Maybe I don't need to play the clip.
	But why is Clinton's perjury case, which is apparently going forward, not being talked about at all?
	This is perjury for the House?
	Yeah, she perjured herself when she gave testimony to the House of Representatives.
	Because the media is doing...
	They're cheerleading.
	We've heard Cuomo say it.
	They're doing all they can.
	That's why.
	Let me hear the...
	This is the clip...
	It's just a little bit from RT, so they're giving us the needle.
	More fuel has been thrown on the flames surrounding the Hillary Clinton email scandal.
	It appears the Democratic presidential nominee may not have been 100% honest with her testimony before Congress.
	RT's Caleb Mopan reports.
	A letter signed by two House committee chairmen in the U.S.
	Congress claims that Hillary Clinton lied under oath when she testified before Congress last October about the scandal involving her emails.
	The letter says that on four different occasions, Hillary Clinton may have committed the crime known as perjury.
	Now, perjury is a very serious crime in the United States, illegal at both state and federal levels.
	And if convicted, she could end up behind bars.
	Now, the first instance in which Hillary Clinton could have committed perjury was when she testified that she had not forwarded any classified emails to her personal server.
	There was nothing marked classified on my emails, either sent or received.
	Was that true?
	Our investigation found that there was classified information.
	So it was not true.
	Perjury is also on the table when Hillary Clinton says that her lawyers saw all of her personal emails.
	Did someone physically look at the 62,000 emails or did you use search terms, date parameters?
	I want to know the specifics.
	They did all of that.
	They also went through every single email.
	The lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 2014 did not individually read the content of all of her emails.
	Case number three is when Clinton said she only used one device.
	There was one server on your property in New York and a second server hosted by a Colorado company and housed in New Jersey.
	Is that right?
	There were two servers?
	No.
	There was a server that was already being used by my husband's team.
	Secretary Clinton said she used just one device.
	Was that true?
	She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary's.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	What difference at this point does it make is the way the media sees it.
	Now, the funniest story that I picked up this week, if you're looking for clips, I could put this near the end of the show.
	I got some stuff.
	I was just bored of talking.
	I want to hear the clips.
	Well, then let's play this clip.
	Now, we were talking, the theme of the show is emails leaking.
	They leak here, they leak there.
	I mentioned in the newsletter that we've talked about the dangers of email and how easy they are to hack.
	And I would like to point out that you can send encrypted email to me.
	And I encourage everyone to look into it.
	GPG Tools is fantastic.
	It integrates right with your email program, so there's not a lot of hassle.
	And I encourage everyone to use this.
	Just why not?
	Like on the Mac, if I send an email to Mark, void zero, it automatically encrypts because it knows that I want to send him encrypted messages.
	And when I reply to him, I don't have to click anything.
	So it's seamless at this point.
	It does not integrate well with squirrel mail, though, John.
	Now, this is hacked emails that took place in Germany.
	This is not being reported at all, because I think it's because it's too funny.
	American media, I don't get it.
	This is a very funny story.
	You have to have kind of a sick sense of humor, but...
	It's the guys doing some, working for the government, doing some housing for refugees, apparently have zero respect for the refugees to the point where they're making snide remarks and they've lost their contract after this.
	Do you know about this story?
	I haven't, no.
	I haven't heard this part, no.
	Yeah, you're going to enjoy this.
	This is the hilarious email clip.
	The German government has terminated the contract of a firm that found accommodation for migrants after an offensive email exchange between staff members was leaked to the national press.
	The emails make jokes about refugees, which neither the authorities nor the public found funny.
	Emily Sue reports from Berlin.
	Imagine if you're running a company and it receives a 5,000 euro donation.
	What would you do?
	Well, it's only logical to discuss with your employees what to do with the money and how to put it into good use.
	But for this one private refugee housing management firm in Germany, when one employee suggested building a sandpit for the children in their homes, the black human in this supposedly normal and professional conversation simply spiraled out of control.
	While the director of one refugee home, going by the name of Peggy M., she replied to that proposal of the sandpit, saying that it will very quickly become a big ashtray or a local toilet.
	She then suggested the company to build a small child guillotine.
	They responded saying that it's a good suggestion and then began forwarding pictures of guillotines and beheaded people.
	Peggy M. then responded to these photos, complaining about the mess that these beheadings will make.
	And this triggered her managing director, presumably her boss, saying that nobody will want to clean up the mess, and said that it's a better job for, quote, the maximally pigmented, with an apparent reference to skin color.
	And this sort of very offensive back and forth continued until, in the end, someone even suggested...
	To build large volume crematorium to dispose the bodies.
	These offensive emails, of course, triggered a very strong reaction from the German government.
	For the German social affairs minister, describing the email exchange as unspeakable and cannot be explained or excused in any way.
	The firm's lawyer tried to play down the exchange, saying that autocorrect was responsible for the word guillotine.
	Wait, hold on.
	Borderline.
	Borderline.
	Clip of the day.
	Germans be Germans.
	That is fantastic.
	Hey, we need some ovens over here.
	You know, I've got a couple of boots on the ground in Germany right now.
	And people are getting pissed at Angola.
	They are not happy at all.
	What is it going to take...
	To get them mad enough to vote her out.
	They can't do it.
	It's like they're all irked, but nobody does anything.
	There's an election coming.
	There's an election coming, so she's going to be in trouble.
	Staying in Germany for a moment, they're none too happy with the slowness of Britain invoking Article 50.
	In order to complete their Brexit...
	Germany has urged London not to delay Brexit following a flurry of British media reports which suggested Prime Minister Theresa May might postpone the formal procedure to leave the EU. The start of January is widely touted as the most likely date to trigger Article 50, but so far Downing Street has only said it will not be invoked this year.
	Germany's European Affairs Minister said the end of the year should really be sufficient time to get organized and adjust to the new situation.
	It does not need any additional political pressure.
	I am convinced that the economic pressure from Great Britain itself is strong enough.
	In the interests of Britain and especially the British economy to provide more clarity on how Great Britain will continue outside the EU. Under the Lisbon Treaty, Article 50 must be enacted before the formal two-year negotiations on Britain's departure from the EU can begin.
	Despite mounting political pressure on Theresa May from Berlin and other European capitals to stick to a quick timetable, there are growing concerns she may be forced to delay because Britain's new Brexit and international trade departments will not be ready.
	That could mean the UK remaining inside the EU until at least 2019.
	That doesn't sound right.
	They don't give a crap about your damn little referendum.
	Hey, don't care!
	I don't care one bit.
	Hey, you know the...
	Do-over.
	Yeah.
	You know that Cleric was always on BBC and Sky News in the UK? Anjem Chowdhury?
	Oh yeah, Chowdhury, yeah.
	Yeah.
	He's in trouble.
	Britain's most high-profile hate preacher Anjum Chowdhury has been found guilty of supporting the so-called Islamic State Group.
	The radical Islamist cleric was convicted alongside Associate Mohamed Mizanur Rahman of using online lectures and messages to inspire support for the militant organization.
	Both faced 10 years in jail at their sentencing due in September.
	Dubbed the most hated man in Britain for his rhetoric, Chowdhury gained notoriety for praising the men behind the 9-11 attacks.
	He was once the head of al-Muhajirun, which has been linked to dozens of terror suspects.
	Michael Adebolajo, one of the men who killed British soldier Lee Rigby, had attended protests organized by Chowdhury.
	Ah, good.
	That guy's finally going to be gone.
	Get him out of the way.
	Pain in the ass.
	I got a note from Sir Herb.
	A service flag is not what we think it is.
	A service flag is a rectangular flag oriented vertically, red border, white background, blue star in the middle.
	That's what a service flag is.
	Red star in the middle?
	Yeah, if you search for a service flag, you'll see it.
	A special flag indicates a family member is currently serving during war or hostilities.
	But it's not an American flag.
	It's a flag that has a blue star in the middle.
	So all this information that you dug up has got nothing to do with anything?
	Do we salute that?
	No, that has nothing.
	You still salute.
	That is the American flag.
	We were just looking at other stuff.
	I remember I was looking for penalty, and I came up with the service flag thing.
	It was two separate.
	Were you listening?
	Yeah, I was, but all I remember is I was supposed to salute.
	Yeah, you salute.
	Exactly.
	Okay.
	Well, here's one.
	Let's play Biden in Serbia.
	Okay, Biden in Serbia.
	Thanks for joining us.
	The U.S. vice president has offered his condolences to the relatives of Serbs killed in NATO's 1999 bombing campaign.
	Joe Biden made his remarks during a visit to Serbia and is the first senior U.S. official to make such a statement.
	In Belgrade, he got a warm reception from the country's prime minister, though others were less welcoming.
	During his brief visit, hundreds of nationalist protesters took to the streets calling on America to vote for Donald Trump, the US Republican presidential nominee.
	Biden is, of course, a Democrat.
	And his previous remarks about Serbia might explain the protesters' attitudes.
	They play, and here's what they do.
	This is again RT, putting a bunch of stuff up on the screen and not reading it.
	Right.
	Which is just so I can't use it.
	It's no good in the clip.
	I can tell you some of the stuff he said that they were throwing back in his face and saying everyone should vote for Trump.
	None of this covered at all by our media.
	Okay.
	Because who cares?
	Here's...
	One guy, Paul Palacic, I think is talking about some of the stuff he said, Larry King Live, Biden came on and he said, Serbs are illiterate degenerates, baby killers, butchers, and rapists.
	Now, if Trump had said this, no, this is Biden on Larry King Live during the Serbian, you know, when we started.
	Oh, in like 95, 96?
	Yeah, 99, I think is when he said this.
	Yeah, we blew up a bunch of Muslims.
	Yeah, Serbs are illiterate degenerates, baby killers, butchers, and rapists.
	And that is exactly the words that Madeleine Albright uses, I might add.
	Yeah, his assertions during the senatorial deliberations in 99 over NATO aggression against Serbia, he said, all Serbs should be placed in Nazi-style concentration camps.
	And then he said some other stuff like that.
	Now, you know, you can call, this guy's a racist pig!
	Yeah, that's pretty bad.
	We should get clips of that.
	I would love to.
	I'm sure it's around.
	I'm sure it is, too.
	I mean, Biden is always shooting his mouth off and condemning everybody else to doing the same thing.
	Yeah.
	And you see that he was talking about Donald Trump can't have the secret codes, the nuclear codes, and he points out, he said, hey, that guy over there, he's holding the codes right now should something happen to the president.
	Yeah, why don't you just point the guy out with the codes in the room?
	Well, anyway, go on to clip two for Biden, and this is the final aspect of the story, which is what's really going on here.
	Well, after Belgrade, Biden's next stop is Kosovo, which proclaimed independence from Serbia following the NATO bombardment.
	There, an entire motorway has been renamed after Biden, just ahead of his visit, as a display of gratitude for America's role in the 1999 campaign.
	The whole aim of the vice president's trip is to attempt to mend relations between the two sides.
	Serbia being one of the states that does not recognize Kosovo's independence.
	Foreign affairs expert Serja Trifkovic thinks that Kosovo's status is being used to put pressure on Belgrade.
	So that'll do it.
	Yeah, about the highway.
	The highway.
	That's fantastic.
	I love it.
	Oops, hold on a second.
	I'm going to show myself the world 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.
	I have a make good here first.
	That was awkward.
	Not really.
	Not to me.
	You wanted to say something?
	Yeah, I did, but...
	I'm so sorry.
	It's okay.
	Go on.
	I was trying to move the train forward.
	Move that train.
	Make good from episode 851.
	Shannon Lysine.
	Hey guys, love the show.
	You consistently put out a great product that made me laugh.
	Could I get some of that sweet NA jobs karma for my hard-working husband, David?
	He needs that magic juju.
	And could you please chuck in the 33 is the magic number jingle?
	It's our lucky number.
	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 as I know I'm supporting the best podcast in the universe.
	So I figure since it's a make good, we should probably make good on it and hand out a jobs karma as requested.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	So thank you very much.
	We had a spreadsheet problem.
	What happened there?
	There was an old show at 48.
	Andy Hunzinger on Portland, Oregon.
	In Portland, Oregon.
	I have two more missing donations.
	Are these made goods or what?
	I don't know.
	Brock Ziska and Carla Kruger.
	What does she say?
	Well, I'm not quite sure what happened here, but we did have a spreadsheet problem.
	So these are MIA donations.
	Brock Ziska, $234.33, and Carla Kruger with 80-80.
	I don't have anything else noted.
	You know what's funny?
	Is that the...
	Well, it's actually not that funny, so I'll skip it.
	Let's thank a few people, including Haley Hunzinger in Portland, Oregon, 16818.
	He made this donation, 16818, 2016-818 backwards, in honor of lovely Evan Johnson's birthday, who hit me in the mouth a year ago.
	Please include him in the birthday portion of the show.
	And Haley had requested this, and that's what we're doing.
	John in Vancouver, BC, 160-16.
	He's got a couple of boobs thing here.
	This I looked at.
	Double boobs.
	Double boobs.
	Yeah, we have to do something.
	A pair of boobs.
	This is a pair of boobs.
	A pair of boobs.
	It'd be a pair of boob.
	Yeah.
	A pair of boobs is plural, so you have to have four boobs.
	Well, you'll figure it out.
	And being that my wife has a brilliant rack herself, here's a double boob donation, 80-08.
	We've done birthday wish donations for each other before, but this one is a double boobs donation in her name!
	For the love of my life, best friend, roommate, and my favorite porn star.
	That's good.
	Your wife should be your favorite porn star.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Keegan Neer in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 12321.
	Do have to mention a line in his note.
	I listen to Noah Jenner when I work out and I look like a psychopath while bench pressing and laughing my ass off at State Department briefings.
	That's funny.
	I also like to call out Jake Gibson as a douchebag for hitting in the mouth and never donating.
	Michael Montez in Portland, Oregon, $114.97.
	Oh, it's interesting.
	He says, this is my first what's-in-your-wallet donation.
	Listen to this, John.
	This is the 1% cash back the good people at the credit card company give me.
	Technically, you are now sponsored by Capital One.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, especially since you got screwed by Capital One.
	Yeah.
	Remember that?
	But that is an interesting idea.
	How do you take the 1% that you earn on your card and give it to the show?
	That's cool.
	The stuff you transfer to your Amazon or your...
	Yeah, I agree.
	Something that should be done.
	All right.
	Onward.
	Was that Michael Montez?
	Yes, now we're at Lonnie Pace.
	Now, Lonnie Pace.
	Lonnie Pace actually wrote a note, and she sent a check, so they do get some priority sometimes.
	This would be one of them.
	$100.33 from Boonville, Indiana.
	She says, while listening to the show 850 on my way home, I glanced at my truck's odometer to notice the count was 33,000 miles.
	I realize it's time for my first donation Show 850 was a great opportunity to catch up on elements of the show I had previously missed so it did work I stumbled upon the best podcast in the universe around show 740 while googling for conspiracy themed podcasts Really?
	Ha.
	Play that thing.
	Ha, she says.
	At first listen, I linked Adam's voice to John's picture and vice versa.
	Oh, no.
	Adam's Wikipedia picture confirmed this pot-smoking conspiracy theory image I had in my head when John spoke.
	So you sound like I look.
	That's pretty cool.
	Yeah, as a conspiracy nut.
	Hey, do me, do me, do me as a conspiracy nut.
	Hey, man!
	Thanks.
	Many shows have passed, and no agenda has become a twice-a-week educational addiction.
	I hit my roommate in the mouth, and she's responded appropriately.
	Anyways, please take my small donation for all the work you do.
	Don't do that, people.
	Stop with the anyways.
	Stop with that.
	That's not okay.
	Please send Trump Pelosi job promotion.
	Karma will give you that at the end.
	Onward.
	Eduardo Calderon in Dallas, Texas, $100.
	Dennis Price in Pine Grove, California, $100.
	Daniel Howes in Westbrook, Maine, $100.
	Sir Alan Ulan Usof in Evans, Georgia, $100.
	Karen Seltzer.
	It's actually, there's a pronunciation for that.
	I think it's Karen Seltzer.
	In LaGrange.
	LaGrange.
	Kentucky.
	Capital L. Small G. Or small A. Capital G. Kentucky.
	100.
	Luca Batinic.
	In Amsterdam.
	And Luca says, after the Onion show, I decided it was high time to donate.
	Bandwidth and the equipment plea touched me.
	There you go.
	Thank you.
	Well, good.
	It'll improve your experience.
	Yes, it will, actually.
	Everything will be better shortly.
	Randy and Dorothy Klumb in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, 8888.
	Dylan Hedrick in Garland, Texas, 8176, and there's a birthday in there.
	Also, Jeffrey Smith in Sarasota, Florida.
	8170.
	That's a Sir Jeffrey.
	Is that Sir Jeffrey?
	Sir Steve Taft in Marietta, Georgia.
	Boob.
	Boob.
	8-0-0-8.
	7-3 is Keto Alpha 1 Whiskey X-Ray.
	Yeah.
	Joshua Crowder, also in West Jordan, Utah, 8008, which is boob.
	Sandy Black.
	Hold on, hold on.
	We had a douchebag call out here.
	Oh, yeah.
	Man.
	As a network architect for a large cloud company, I can sympathize with needing additional cash flow to upgrade critical infrastructure.
	It's time for me to stop being a boner to become a donor.
	I'd like to call out my dad.
	Douchebag!
	Bob, or maybe that is his dad, Bob, my brother Sam, and my brother Ben, as douchebags!
	As far as I'm aware, none of them have ever donated.
	There you go.
	Alright, that was good, thank you.
	Sandy Block in Rancho Santa Fe, boob, in 808.
	That was an Easter egg.
	Ah, what was the image?
	The picture was the guy standing in the storm.
	As a boob.
	Yeah, looking like a boob.
	I had different ones to pick from this time.
	Cyrus Christian in Lake Forest, California, boob.
	And Nicholas Samaras in Noakesville, Virginia, who also has a douchebag call-out.
	I've had, let's see, dear Slapshot and Fuzznuts, I have held off far too long on calling out Matthew D. as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	I've even donated several times as an attempt to show how easy it is, and at the end of the day, he's just proven himself as a douchebag.
	More importantly, though, I miss Sir Bill of the Rock's birthday.
	I would like him to wish him a happy birthday, belated birthday on August 14th.
	Hold on, I don't think that's on the list, is it?
	I just put that on the list.
	Thanks, Eric.
	Sir Bill of the Rock, August 14th.
	Sir Bill of the Rock.
	Okay.
	Daniel, do you see the size of that birthday list?
	I think it's a record breaker.
	Yeah, and the list does not even include everybody, as we just witnessed.
	Daniel Baxter in Cape Coral, Florida.
	It includes him.
	$76.
	Sir Brian Green of Hams, KCY9JM. No, that can't be it.
	It's got to be KC9YJM. I see it right here.
	It says Kilo Charlie Yankee 9 Juliet Mike.
	There's no Kilo Charlie Yankee.
	There's only two letters in front of the thing.
	That's not true.
	That's not true.
	Sorry.
	Sorry, that's not true.
	Yeah, if it's some sort of a vanity plate.
	You know, that's a good point.
	I don't know.
	I'll have to look.
	I think it's valid.
	It could be a 3 and a 2.
	I think it is KC9. Maybe it's KC9, Yankee, Juliet, Mike.
	Yeah, I think so.
	You may be right.
	He's $73.73.
	He's very consistent.
	He's the ham of hams.
	Yeah.
	Well, we'll check on that.
	Actually, I can check on it right now on the QRZ database.
	Oh, yeah.
	The QRZ database.
	Let me check on it.
	Hold on.
	While you're checking, I'll keep reading.
	All right.
	Sir Got Nate in Sebastopol, California, $69.69.
	Sir Rick in Arlington, Washington, $69.33.
	Derek Vonderhaar in Maryville, Illinois.
	6112.
	You know, you're right.
	I wonder if that was our mistranscription?
	No, I typed it in.
	I probably typed it in.
	Oh, okay.
	You typed it in.
	Yes, it is Kilo Charlie 9 Yankee Juliet Mike.
	Got it.
	Ron Driggs.
	Where does he live?
	Do we have his address?
	Yes, I have.
	He's in New York City.
	I have my post office box in that database.
	He's in New City, New York.
	I have everything, but I won't give that, of course.
	Well, they can look it up.
	Derek Vonderhaar.
	Only if you're a ham.
	You don't have to be a ham to hit that database.
	You have to have a ham call to register to be able to see the address, I believe.
	Unless you go to the FCC database, there you can find it.
	That's not that easy, though.
	Yeah, well, that's why I recommend people use a post office box.
	That way you don't have to update it either.
	Yeah, and for all your QSL cards, John.
	You know, I was going to design you a QSL card that you'd actually use.
	Would you do that for me?
	That would be...
	For my birthday, September 3rd.
	It's coming up.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'll be glad to.
	But my...
	See, I've collected a bunch of them.
	Yeah.
	Looking...
	Because I think the designs of the ones done in the 30s and 40s...
	Are the most beautiful things ever.
	I don't know how beautiful a lot of them are.
	A lot of them got some hay seed, you know, and some girl in a short skirt.
	Exactly.
	With a hot rod.
	Bending over a hot rod.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Then there's call letters for you.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
	For those who are wondering, when ham radio operators make a contact, they sometimes will exchange QSL, which is a code for confirmation of communication.
	And, you know, it's quite an art form.
	If you look at, you know, because everyone has their own version of what it is.
	I'd love one made by you.
	I'd love one.
	Yeah, it's a postcard usually.
	Yeah.
	Or in postcard stock, and then you send it out like that.
	And it's got all the details and stuff.
	Yeah, you hang them on the wall in your shack.
	Yeah, that's what you do.
	Sir Rick in Arlington, Washington.
	69.33, he already got Sir Nate.
	Derek Vonderhaar did him already.
	Ron Driggs is where we are in Salt Lake City.
	59.99.
	Guido Johann Franz Zauzak.
	I don't know.
	I can't really get this name.
	It's obviously not necessarily German, but he's in Berlin, Deutschland.
	And Ron Driggs had a douchebag call-out for Matt Douglas of the Bronx, New York.
	Douchebag!
	Yeah, I missed that.
	Sorry.
	Dean Roker in Parts Unknown, 5510.
	Shannon Adkins in Warren, Michigan, 5050.
	And then now we have the $50 donors who I will list by name and location.
	Robert Guzik in High Point, North Carolina.
	Scott Lavender in Montgomery, Texas.
	Chris Slowensky, Sir Chris Slowensky, do you?
	In Sherwood Park, Alberta.
	Simon Horn in Manly, Queensland, Australia.
	I'm Manly.
	Michael Gates in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
	Bill LeClaire, capital L, small A. Colorado Springs, Colorado.
	Riverdale, Michigan.
	I'm sorry, that's Michael Gates in Colorado Springs.
	Bill LeClaire is in Riverdale.
	Andrew Haverson is in Gravenhurst, Ontario.
	Brian Noni in Smyrna, Georgia.
	John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma.
	Amitav Hajra in Daleville, Virginia.
	Home of the something or other.
	Chris Perry in Silver Springs, Maryland.
	Patricia Noonan in Claremont, California.
	Brian Moss in Rancho Santa Maria, California.
	Joel Daroon in Parts Unknown.
	Paul Rudkin, Parts Unknown.
	Matthew Mungin in Baltimore.
	Alex Brewer in Kill Devil Hills.
	Wow.
	North Carolina.
	Nice.
	Ken O'Rourke, Parts Unknown.
	Robert Cobb in Bonaire, Georgia.
	Christian Winter in La Jolla, California.
	Miles Comer in Walnut, California.
	And as we wrap up with Robert Searsenia in Portage, or Portage, I'm sure is the way they pronounce it in Indiana.
	Chris Witten in Millboro, Virginia.
	Kyle Meyer in Atlanta, Georgia.
	Stephen Kirkpatrick in Langley, Washington.
	Sir Mark Tanner in Whittier, California.
	And Sir Paul of Horseheads.
	In Horseheads, 50.
	Jerry Wingenroth in Saugus.
	Saugus, I tell you.
	California.
	And that concludes our group of well-wishers and producers for show, whatever the show number is.
	You know, what happened somewhere when we started the donation segment?
	Did something, you got like a little thrown off.
	What happened?
	Nothing.
	Oh, okay.
	It's just my perception.
	No, I said earlier in the show my reads weren't good today.
	Oh, that's okay.
	I didn't hear that.
	I did want to mention that Miles Comer in his note said to void zero and mountain vortex, would a separate donors only RSS feed with faster downloads help?
	And I don't want to say, you know, this of course comes up from time to time.
	No, we're not going to do that.
	It also makes no sense, because then you have to have separate infrastructure to...
	Yeah, you have to have a database.
	Yeah, it's going through the same pipe, and no.
	Yeah, it's no good.
	No, this is...
	The whole point, the only way we can actually keep this show going, of course, through your financial support, is by keeping everything open.
	You gotta keep it all open.
	If you go to that, if you start adding work, you know, like we can't have producers.
	We're blessed with these guys, with Void and Mountain, because they're doing it for free.
	You know, they could be doing other things with their time.
	Yeah, we're actually the two of the best in the world, so that makes it very nice for the show.
	And they know how to save money, and they don't, you know, stretch it.
	Well, they're trying.
	They only come in when they actually need it.
	Exactly.
	Well, thank you all very much.
	Thanks to everyone under $50 for reasons of anonymity, usually.
	This is how it works, value for value.
	People are liking the shows we're doing, and it shows.
	We appreciate that.
	And remember, we have another show coming up on Sunday.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. And jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Here we go.
	We got a bladed birthday.
	Actually, this was on the list.
	Nicholas Samara says happy birthday to Sir Bill of the Rock, who celebrated on August 14th.
	We have Susan Johnson says happy birthday to her son, Evan Johnson, turned 26 on the 18th.
	Gabriel Weiszczek says happy birthday to his brother, Daniel Weiszczek, celebrated on August 20th.
	Gabriel Weiszczek also says happy birthday to his nephew, Jasper Weiszczek, celebrating on the 23rd of August.
	Busy household.
	Haley Hunsiger, happy birthday to Evan Johnson celebrating today.
	Dylan Hedrick, happy birthday to his new daughter, Alyssa Kate, born yesterday.
	Welcome to the universe.
	Welcome to Gitmo Nation, Alyssa.
	Jeffrey Smith says happy birthday to his brother, celebrated yesterday.
	Daniel Baxter to his MILF, Linda, 49 tomorrow.
	And we say happy birthday to everybody here from your buddies at the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday, yeah!
	Whoa, that was indeed quite a list.
	It was a record breaker.
	Now, I think we had a late entry come in from Pete from Brisbane, who donated one, two, three, four, five, and he says, whilst drinking a bold Australian red with body, it reminded me of the two of you and prompted me to donate.
	That sounds right.
	Karma to you both, shout out to Sir Snorkel, and I'm pretty sure I'm close to being a knight, and Eric checked it, and indeed he is.
	So, we need, first we need the blades.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Okay, I got it.
	I left it over to the other place.
	Ah, so Pete from Brisbane, step on up.
	Jeffrey Wolfers, please join us here at the podium.
	And Raleigh Hawk, all three of you have donated to the best podcast in the universe.
	The amount of $1,000 or more.
	And therefore, I'm very proud to pronounce the Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Here you go, Sir Pete from Brisbane.
	Sir Jeffrey of Camden.
	And Sir Lineman of the Nets.
	No, Sir Lineman of the Nets.
	And you're a black knight.
	There you go, Raleigh Hawk.
	Gentlemen, for you, we have the usual hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, mangoes and filet mignon, cookies and vodka, tacos and taquilla, meth slots and moonshine, legos and leg warmers, garlic and broccoli, DMT and astral travel, vodka and vanilla, breast milk and pablum, mutton and mead, ginger ale and gerbils, and sparkling cider and escorts.
	If you have any need for that, then just join the roundtable.
	Now, Raleigh Hawk got to be a black knight because he sent in a number of notes that nobody answered.
	This happens, by the way, to anyone.
	This is like falling through the cracks.
	And it's actually kind of interesting to witness it, because when it happens, it doesn't fall through the crack once.
	It usually falls through over and over again.
	This is like a nightmare to get this guy finally on the podium.
	But he does bring up a question, which the peerage committee is unfortunate.
	Oh, good.
	What is the question?
	He brings up the question, when are you a knight?
	Is it when you request it, when you're supposed to get it, when the numbers get to a thousand, or when you're knighted?
	And the answer is when you are knighted.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	And so he was concerned because he doesn't have seniority over one of his pals.
	Oh, no.
	I guess he came in at the same time and he was hoping to have seniority, but he doesn't.
	But he's got the Black Knight moniker, which I think is extra special.
	I think so.
	Got a package.
	I've got a package.
	My package already lined up.
	Can I do my package?
	Do your package.
	My package is Julian Assange Being interviewed by NPR. And this is, it's like two different worlds colliding.
	It really is.
	It's so odd to hear the questions NPR asks over and over again.
	Because, you know, there are journalists over there.
	No.
	Okay.
	We'll go right into it with an assertion from this NPR host, which, of course, is incorrect.
	Every cyber expert who's looked at this has said it's Russia.
	Are you telling me that that information did not come to you?
	What?
	Start off with a hot question like that.
	There's nobody.
	Nobody has said this.
	Luckily, Mr.
	Name names.
	Luckily, Mr.
	Well, FireEye.
	Do you know that the Clintons hired FireEye?
	I don't want to hear about that.
	Yeah, FireEye.
	FireEye.
	This is a government organization.
	Shills.
	Anyway.
	Let me just rewind it.
	Yeah, start it over.
	It's worth hearing again.
	Every cyber expert who's looked at this has said it's Russia.
	Are you telling me that that information did not come to you from Russia?
	No cyber expert has said that our emails that we published come from Russia.
	What they have said is that they have looked at some of the hacking of the DNC over the last few years and said that the malware in that hacking appeared to be Russian.
	And that's a different question.
	Thank you for setting us straight there, Mr.
	Assange.
	Now, NPR, I'm sure like many other journalistic outlets, are probably wishing they had this huge scoop.
	Kind of the way WikiLeaks used to work with them, but that's not happening anymore.
	So, now we're going to ask all the a-hole questions.
	Something that any good journalist or any publisher would never reveal is...
	John?
	Your source.
	Right.
	But I guess you can keep asking for it.
	Do you know where these emails came from?
	Yes, I know where they came from.
	They came from the DNC. So you know the source that provided them to you?
	Well, we don't comment on sourcing because it makes it easier for any investigation.
	Okay.
	He asked this a total of five times in the interview.
	What's the source?
	What's the source?
	Okay, that was one.
	Yeah.
	Now a good question, which Assange answered appropriately.
	Okay, so if you do indeed have or get in possession of stuff about the Trump campaign, you would be just as ready to release that as you were the DNC emails?
	Yes, of course.
	If anyone has information that is from inside the Trump campaign, which is authentic, it's not like some claimed witness statement, but actually internal documentation, we'd be very happy to receive it and publish it.
	Boy, wow.
	NPRs are amazed by this.
	This is like the same line of questioning we've heard before from other outlets.
	It's as though they've been handed a sheet of paper.
	They do.
	Exactly.
	You ask, blame the Russians, number one.
	Mm-hmm.
	As for the sources, number two, how can we not going after Trump?
	We played a clip very similar to this.
	Bill Maher asked this.
	What other questions?
	Oh, you know, that guy, he probably watched Bill Maher's show as prep for the interview.
	I think there's something more going on here.
	Well, yeah.
	Is it paranoid to look at these uncensored documents, these emails that are released by you, and if they believe that that could change a U.S. presidential election, could be a threat to national security, why isn't it logical for them to see you as a possible threat?
	Hold on, hold on.
	Hold it right there.
	Hold it right there.
	This is a great journalistic scoop.
	20,000 emails from within the heart of the DNC, which has led to the resignation of the top four officials of the DNC. Those resignations occurred because it revealed an attempt to fix the primary process in favor of Hillary Clinton.
	And it's so nice and refreshing to hear him reiterate that.
	Because that wasn't the news from the minute it happened.
	It was all, oh, the Russians!
	I mean, we just have to step back once in a while and just say, you know, please remember what happened before your very eyes.
	Damning information came out showing bigotry, bias, and corruption, really, a form of corruption inside a club, which, okay, it's their club.
	That was rarely the topic, and four people resigned.
	How much news did we hear about it?
	Almost nothing.
	It revealed an attempt to fix the primary process in favor of Hillary Clinton.
	That's a remarkable and important contribution to US democracy by our sources and by WikiLeaks.
	Any allegation that that is a process that should be stopped is deeply worrying.
	Of course, let's be realistic, it's coming about because Hillary Clinton Is in a position where she is trying to gain support and reduce criticism, and her supporters in the media and elsewhere are trying to distract.
	That's correct.
	This guy is a douchebag.
	The interviewer?
	I'm talking about the journalist.
	I'm going to mention this again.
	I say it all the time.
	I'm going to say it again.
	You're given a treasure trove.
	If you're somebody looking to dig up the dirt on somebody, you've got a treasure trove of information in WikiLeaks.
	Months of publishing.
	Months, years in reality, considering the amount of stuff they have.
	And what do you do?
	You bitch about the process?
	Oh, you guys are just, you're trying to, I mean, you go after the guy?
	Yeah.
	Instead of taking advantage of him?
	Well, if it was a guy, it would have been okay.
	See, what do you mean?
	You mean go after Assange?
	Going after Assange and Wiki.
	Yeah.
	They flip-flopped 180 degrees.
	They used to be best friends, all of them.
	Last clip regarding Seth Rich, the DNC employee who was murdered two to the head, two to the back of the head, I might point out.
	And, again, he's just following what Captain Talking Point says.
	Now, of course, others suggest WikiLeaks has been making an effort to distract, to draw attention away from its alleged sources in Russia.
	The group announced it would offer a $20,000 reward.
	By the way, what he's reading here is done after the fact.
	Assange is not hearing all of this.
	You can hear the audio edit.
	Because he's such a pussy, he probably wasn't, or maybe he had to edit pieces out because Assange does call him out on what he did here.
	Sources in Russia.
	The group announced it would offer a $20,000 reward for information about Seth Rich, a 27-year-old DNC staffer who was shot and killed last month in what police suspect was a late-night robbery gone bad.
	WikiLeaks offering that reward sparked speculation that Rich was in some way involved with the DNC emails.
	Some have seen that as possibly some kind of smokescreen, maybe an effort by you to draw attention away from some relationship with your actual sources in Russia.
	How do you respond to that?
	Yeah, it's false.
	His parents are grieving.
	They have called for information.
	The police have called for information.
	We're trying to contribute to that.
	We're not alleging that his murder is a result of his allegations of him being a WikiLeaks source because we don't have proof of that.
	Any allegation that someone has been murdered because they're a Wikileaks source, even if it only has a small probability of being true, is very concerning to us.
	We have a perfect record in protecting the identity of our sources, and we want to establish quickly exactly what the circumstances were of Seth Rich's killing.
	Was he a source of yours?
	We don't disclose sources, even dead sources.
	Ugh!
	You know, this guy, there's a couple things.
	There's a meme that's really, besides this guy keep using Russia, Russia, Russia, this guy drops this meme that really bothers me.
	And I'm just kind of stunned that nobody ever picks it up and throws it away.
	Robbery gone bad.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	What robbery goes well?
	Let's ask the question, what makes a robbery go bad?
	When you die.
	No.
	I mean, why would a guy rob this?
	Oh, a robbery gone bad and he didn't take any money, you mean?
	He didn't take any money, didn't even get to his wallet, did nothing.
	He shot the guy dead and then disappears.
	They've called this a robbery gone bad.
	What evidence do they have that it's a robbery in the first place and not just an assassination?
	But what would make the...
	Okay, I'm the guy with the gun and you're the other guy and I come up and shoot you twice in the back of the head.
	You dropped down, and now it's my opportunity to reach in and grab your wallet and money and grab your watch and then take off.
	I didn't do that, so it's a robbery gone bad.
	Hold on, citizen.
	What are you doing?
	Stop, citizen.
	What are you doing there with that dead body?
	What are you doing, citizen?
	This may be a robbery gone bad.
	That's the only thing, what you just did, is the only thing that would make this robbery go bad, right?
	Yeah, right, right, right?
	Did you just say right?
	Somebody caught, I acknowledge that you don't have to keep hounding me, right?
	Right.
	So this guy shoots the guy, and then he just takes off, and unless somebody interrupted him, which means there was a witness, where's the witness?
	Yeah.
	What I like is the way Assange is explaining it now is he says, hey look, we may or may not have received the documents from that guy.
	In fact, it sounds more like we got documents from someone else who maybe got it from that guy.
	But anytime there is an allegation that someone was a source for WikiLeaks or helped us and they get killed, we investigate.
	Makes total sense.
	Although, of course, he was the source.
	That's what we want to believe.
	Well, the other guy implies that this is a smokescreen.
	But why would WikiLeaks even bother with a smokescreen?
	They've never done that ever before.
	No, because they're not all in on the Russian thing.
	That's the problem.
	These people believe it was Russia.
	They believe this, John.
	This is not open for debate.
	They believe it was Russia.
	I see it on the face bags.
	People believe it's Russia.
	So, you know, that was the message they received.
	Okay, message received.
	I got it.
	I will pay attention and think it's Russia all the time.
	Putin bad, Putin bad, Trump Putin.
	Well, I find it depressing.
	It is.
	Luckily, we have a few people that'll listen to us and ask these questions of their friends.
	Well, if it was a robbery gone bad, what made it go bad?
	And these people will be much better for it.
	Much healthier for it, for sure.
	I have a good one here.
	I want you to play this.
	This is a CENTCOM. This is interesting for a couple of different layers.
	This is on CBS, which is the front for the CIA's national news.
	And so they do everything with a purpose.
	It's the CIA's publication.
	So they do everything with a purpose.
	So when they bring this story up, there's a reason for it.
	I'm not sure what the reason is right off the top of my head, and I haven't been able to figure it out listening to this report.
	But there's some reason, there's some other battle going on.
	It's always these intelligence groups, and they don't work together.
	And in the case of this thing, I want you to have an override.
	This is about CENCOM's report being doctored.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, play it and then I'll bring it up to the point.
	But I want an overriding consideration here as you listen to it.
	Where's James Clapper?
	Isn't he supposed to keep this sort of thing from happening?
	For more than a year now, Americans have been told that the war against ISIS in Syria and Iraq has been going well, as were the U.S. efforts to train Iraqi soldiers.
	But today, a congressional task force said that intelligence was altered to make it appear that things were going better than they were.
	And it blamed U.S. Central Command, which runs the wars in the Middle East.
	Jim Axelrod has been looking into this.
	The task force was formed to investigate a whistleblower complaint filed by a senior analyst at CENTCOM that intelligence was being manipulated by command leadership.
	Republican Congressman Mike Pompeo is a member of the task force.
	This information from talented career professionals inside the analytic arm at CENTCOM did their job and accurately depicted what was going on the ground.
	But when it got to very senior levels, that information was changed.
	According to the report, starting around mid-2014, final intelligence reports and public statements issued by CENTCOM painted a rosier picture of the Iraqi army's strength than the initial assessments of its own analysts.
	Ladies and gentlemen, we are making progress.
	Such is when CENTCOM's then commander, General Lloyd Austin, testified in March of 2015 that ISIS had been weakened in Iraq.
	The fact is that he can no longer do what he did at the outset, which is to seize and to hold new territory.
	He has assumed a defensive crouch in Iraq.
	Around the same time, a CENTCOM official stated the Iraqi army could soon be ready to launch a major offensive to retake the city of Mosul.
	A year and a half later, that still hasn't happened.
	When we send young men and women out to fight for our country, they need to have straight-up intelligence providing them information about what they're up against.
	This task force was made up entirely of Republicans, but late today, Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee released their findings, and they largely reached the same conclusions.
	As for CENTCOM, Scott, this statement, they are reviewing the report, but since the investigation is ongoing, there will be no comment.
	Jim Axelrod reporting for it.
	So this is something that, when we reported on it, fuck, months ago?
	Yeah.
	It was a conspiracy theory.
	Crazy.
	Right.
	And I like the term defensive crouch.
	Well, the thing that bothers me at the end is this meme that I think we're too easily accepting of.
	This is a bogus meme that we can't talk about it because it's an ongoing investigation.
	And you hear this about everything.
	There's no investigation.
	They're just reviewing, he says.
	In the report, it says they're reviewing it.
	But this reviewing is every time you open a book, an ongoing investigation you can't talk about?
	And I've heard this.
	Trump is using it for his taxes, too.
	I hear this over and over and over again.
	It's an ongoing investigation.
	Why?
	You can talk about it.
	What difference does it make?
	It's an ongoing investigation.
	So what?
	Yeah.
	So what?
	Yeah.
	Well, it's policy.
	It's not rule or law.
	Policy is to shut up.
	Yeah, Loretta Lynch will say, it is policy.
	We don't discuss...
	I mean, Department of Justice, what you do is investigate.
	So you might as well just say, well, we don't report on anything because we investigate.
	We don't report on investigations or anything of the kind.
	Anyways, it's bugging me.
	Well, I'm going to call it for today, John.
	I think we should, unless you have something...
	I have one last thing.
	I want to get it out of the way.
	Shorty.
	Shorty, shorty.
	That's just because I've been avoiding this, but the Pokemon update needs to be played.
	You need a Pokemon update jingle is what you need.
	Thieves appear to be targeting Pokemon Go players in Berkeley.
	It's happened three times over the last month.
	The most recent occurred on Monday at Berkeley's Civic Center Park.
	But the players successfully wrestled the phone away.
	Now, in two other cases, the robbers punch players or knock them to the ground.
	Police suggest people keep their phones in their pockets and don't play the game at night.
	Investigators say they've made an arrest in one of those cases.
	Thank you for the Pokemon update.
	It's not good.
	All right, everybody.
	Plenty of work to be done between now and Sunday, for sure.
	Sunday, Sunday.
	Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
