This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 857.
This is No Agenda.
Kicking off day one of my 53rd Orbit and broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State here in Austin Tejas.
We're in FEMA Region 6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'll be the first to wish you a happy birthday, I'm John C. DeVore.
I'm John C. DeVore.
Yes, thank you.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
So you're getting there.
Yeah.
You see the newsletter?
You see that great picture of the cake?
Yes, and in fact, I think you tweeted that too.
I love that picture when I saw it.
Yeah, that's nice.
I'm on fire!
The joke of it is?
The irony?
The humor?
Yeah.
That cake only has 52 candles.
Well, what's the joke of it?
I'm 52.
I thought you were 53.
No, I'm 52.
Oh, I said you're beginning your 53rd.
My 53rd orbit, yes.
Well, then there's no joke.
It's not that funny.
Which makes it even more ironic.
Well, tonight is my real celebration.
What are you going to do?
Oh, I know Tina has a whole thing planned for me.
I'll bet she does.
Yes siree.
Is it going to entail a bow?
Candles, I'm sure.
Candles, yes.
Around the bathtub.
This is going to be a celebration she's going to do for her.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Don't knock it, man.
Man, don't knock it.
All right.
Well, there's plenty of stuff to talk about.
There's a lot of good stuff.
Yeah, there is some.
I was quite surprised, actually, when I really got into it last night.
I will say that just as kind of an entremont, we haven't even started the show yet.
Well, we kind of have, but yeah.
I found one of our producers also does a podcast, and he had a podcast with Glenn.
Oh, yeah, I saw this.
Now, this is Tilo.
He's the German cat.
He's the German guy.
Yeah, he always does the fun interviews.
He goes all over the world to interview people for the show.
Yes, it's a video podcast.
So he's on YouTube.
I tweeted it, and you should probably put that link in the show notes, because he went to visit Glenn Greenwald.
And Greenwald had, for one thing, he really had a great background on Brazil.
I think people should watch that.
Here's a short little clip of him just wrapping up the way things are.
Hold on a second.
Let me just get all your things set up here.
Okay, yes.
Here we go.
Greenwald.
There have been, over the last 30 years, there have been really radical changes in how American society is structured, largely due to globalization.
So the U.S. no longer is really this kind of country unto itself.
It has become part of the global order.
And whereas 50 years ago, you had things called American corporations that did manufacturing in the U.S. and created jobs in the U.S. and were identifiable as American, Now you have what are called multinational corporations with very little allegiance to any specific country.
So if an American company, so-called, like Ford or steel manufacturers that have provided the backbone of the American middle class forever, can move to Korea or China or Mexico and create factories there at a much lower cost in terms of standard of living and weight.
Before you move on, the one thing I notice about this interview...
Was, I agreed with pretty much everything you said, except when it came to Trump, man.
He just would not get off the, he's insane, he's mentally ill, he's dangerous.
He kind of seems to be beside himself because he hates Hillary too.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
But I think the thing that made this interview worthwhile is this clip, which is, I think, kind of the theme of the whole interview, and it kind of summarized life in Rio.
This is the clip, Greenwald versus the monkey.
Because the founders of the country were largely rich, white, male property owners.
Not largely, I mean exclusively rich, white, male property owners.
Hold on one second.
Hold on one second.
All of a sudden, I have flashbacks of the boys in Brazil.
I don't know why.
Rosebud!
Rosebud!
We've been gloriously quiet, so we're in our first outbreak.
It's fine.
Were they nice to you when you came in?
Were they nice to you?
Hold on one second.
But he has about 30 dogs, doesn't he?
He has some kind of sanctuary.
About six.
Oh, the monkey's here.
Monkey.
I guess there are certain ways...
There are certain ways how to get rid of the monkey, I guess.
Well, you feed the monkey and then you spray the dogs with water.
I made that an ISO for you for the end of the show.
Well, see, the ISO is good.
I don't know if that was a great clip, though.
Okay, well.
In fact, hold on.
I think I have a special award for you.
That clip sucked.
Thank you.
Well, you feed the monkey, and then you spray the dogs with water.
I don't get that, by the way, what he's talking about.
Why would you feed the monkey?
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe it's code, John.
Maybe it's code for something.
Oh, it could be.
We're misunderstanding.
Feed the monkey, then spray the dogs with water is code.
It's beautiful.
Oh, my, my, my, my, my.
Yeah.
I like the clip suck thing.
That's good.
That's good, isn't it?
Yeah.
I think that's Moses Hall.
He's done a lot of clips for us.
He's a clip meister.
I like about Moses' stuff is it's quick.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's boom, boom, boom in and out.
Yeah.
Very nice.
Hey, hey, I was right about something for once.
You're right about it a lot.
Don't say stuff like that.
I was right about something that I argued about with you.
That's why I'm going to say it.
Oh, you're just going to gloat.
You recall we had a conversation about the value of those Trump dolls, the statues that were placed everywhere?
Yes, right.
Do you remember what I said it was worth and what you said it was worth?
Your number was bigger than mine.
Yeah, I said $20,000.
Yeah.
And you said a couple thousand.
Yeah, I figured about $2,000 to $5,000 maybe.
Now, that may have been production cost.
No, no, no.
There's no way.
Those are fiberglass.
Those things probably cost about, I'd say, less than $500 at the most.
So we were talking about actual market value.
Yes.
Well, if you want one of those life-size statues of naked Donald Trump, and who doesn't, good news, one of them will be auctioned off in Los Angeles in October.
It's estimated to fetch between, you guessed it, $10,000 and $20,000.
A portion of that money will go towards an immigration advocacy organization.
The statues popped up in LA, Seattle, San Francisco, Cleveland, and New York.
Sure it will.
See, these are the people that took my advice and stole the things off the street.
Yeah, because we talked about Antique Roadshow, and I think I nailed the value.
I think I was spot on.
Well, it depends.
It's up for auction, and that's the estimated value.
Many times they don't go for that, or sometimes they go for a lot more.
Yeah, we'll see.
So you never know.
Yeah, that's true.
I think it's still up for grabs, the answer to the question.
On this podcast, we love to do media deconstruction, but also sometimes we just like to go straight to the source so you can hear it.
John Kerry.
I know, I know, I know.
You don't have to get all mad that I'm playing a John Kerry clip, but it's only 16 seconds.
That's not possible.
Yeah.
And he had a suggestion for the media.
As it pertains to terrorism.
Because, you know, terrorism is a thorn in the eye of this administration.
I don't know if they're really worried about it or care that people are getting killed, but it certainly distracts from their main agenda.
It's very annoying.
So Kerry had some choice words to say.
If you decide one day you're going to be a terrorist and you're willing to kill yourself, you can go out and kill some people.
You can make some noise.
Perhaps the media would do us all a service that they didn't cover it quite as much.
People wouldn't know what's going on.
Yeah, exactly!
Perhaps the media shouldn't cover it so much, people wouldn't know what's going on that way.
Yeah, I think that's exactly the way it should be, Mr.
Kerry.
He said people would...
What was the kicker at the end?
He says, the media shouldn't cover it so much, that way people wouldn't know what's going on.
If you're willing to kill yourself, you can go out and kill some people.
You can make some noise.
Perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didn't cover it quite as much.
People wouldn't know what's going on.
People wouldn't know what's going on.
Wow.
Okay.
You're getting there.
That was a borderline clip of the day.
I'll take a borderline.
I understand you don't want to give out a full-on clip of the day right off the bat.
I'm not going to.
I thought that was really good.
That was a good one, yes.
It made me laugh.
Too bad the quality was so crappy.
Yeah, and that I can't help.
Oh, so there was a...
I think you might have even put it in the newsletter.
Or did you email it to...
I don't remember where I first heard about it, but there was a...
We have the G20 in Hangzhou.
Hangzhou?
Is it Hangzhou?
Hangzhou.
Hangzhou.
And, boy, there was some trouble upon arrival.
There's really been very little about this G20 summit, certainly in Gitmo Nation proper here in the U.S. We just haven't seen a lot of news reports.
There's been newspaper coverage, and that's when I wrote about the...
Apparently, when they rolled a big 747, the Chinese weren't going to roll up a big ladder for the president.
So they made him get out the back with the hired help.
I think the situation was a little different.
It was where Air Force One was going to be positioned.
And the Chinese said, no, no, you can't park here.
You have to move.
And I guess eventually we said, no, we're not going to move.
And they said, okay, then you're not getting stairs.
Of course, the way we do it is we roll it right up with the front door of Air Force One, ready to accept the stairs, and then you roll down into the acceptance crowd and the red carpet and all that.
And in this clip, you can't really hear it very well, but in the beginning, you hear this Chinese official yelling at a White House woman.
And she's, we're standing under the wing of a United States aircraft.
And he says, yeah, that's fine, but you're now at our airport in our country, China.
You do what I tell you to do.
And apparently, Susan Rice was brought to tears, although that's not exactly reported to hear.
But they got a hold of her, too, the twerp.
Here we go.
Nothing like a brush-up at the airport to welcome a foreign delegation.
It's our country, it's our airport, okay?
It's our country, it's our airport, okay?
A Chinese official scolding a White House aide Saturday as President Obama and the press corps arrive for the G20 Summit of World Leaders in China.
The disagreement over where the press should stand, not the only altercation during President Obama's arrival.
Minutes before, out of the view of the cameras, the same Chinese official tried to block National Security Advisor Susan Rice from walking from the plane to the motorcade, possibly mistaking her for a reporter, forcing the U.S. Secret Service to step in.
I can just see it.
Don't you know who I am?
I'm Susan Rice, as she looks up.
There is a picture in the Reuters report of her being consoled by Carrie.
She's like a midget compared to him.
She looks like she's crying like a baby.
I also noticed that Carrie is the only guy wearing a blue suit at these events.
Have you noticed that?
No, I have not noticed that.
It must be some kind of power move or something.
I'm going to wear a blue suit.
Everyone's in charcoal gray or black, you know, distinguished.
This report did continue a bit about what was accomplished at the G20. The unusual altercations at the airport, setting up for an awkward start to what is likely the last official meeting between Obama and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
The two taking up some thorny issues.
No doubt, freedom of the press, a last-minute addition to the list.
I know that we will have, once again, candid conversations about some of those differences around issues like human rights or cyber or maritime.
Tensions have often been high between the two sides over hacking incidents and China's land grab in the South China Sea.
But it was all smiles for the cameras Saturday with at least one thing they both could agree on, cutting greenhouse gases earlier.
Both leaders formally ratified the Paris Climate Agreement to curb carbon emissions with the UN's Ban Ki-moon looking on.
So did we, I don't, I thought that the Climate Change Agreement had to be ratified in Congress and the Senate, or Senate at least.
Has that been done?
I don't think so.
Because the President's sitting there with the signature book and everything, oh yeah, signed it, ratified.
I don't think he can do that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's bullcrap anyway.
No one's going to pay any attention to any of this.
What the president has done for us, he has signed an executive order.
We haven't talked about him in a while.
This is one of my favorites.
It comes around every single year.
He signed this on August 30th.
And it is, of course, the continuation of the national emergency with respect to certain terrorist attacks in the United States of Gitmo Nation.
Dan, this is what I love so much about how law works in the United States.
You mean there was an attack in 2011?
2001, actually.
I mean, what am I thinking?
Yeah, it was that long ago.
Sorry.
Consistent with Section 202D of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 16222 Delta, I'm continuing for one year.
The national emergency previously declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463 with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks to the United States.
So 15 years have gone by?
Nothing's happened?
Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2016.
Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year.
The national emergency that was declared on September 14, 2001 with respect to the terrorist threat.
This means for the next, I want to predict for the next 20 years that they're going to keep signing this because now it's gone on so long that whoever doesn't sign it, an extension.
Oh, and then something happens.
Oh, what are you guys risking American lives?
Exactly.
Now we're stuck with this thing forever.
Yeah, and really it doesn't apply anymore.
It only pertained really towards the terrorists of September 11th, 2001, and those attacks.
They seem to be dead, most of them.
No, most of them are alive.
That's the funny thing.
Well, yes.
If you go by their names and identities, that's true.
Well, please.
Remember, we found the passport of Muhammad Atta amidst the rubble, so we know that he's dead.
Yeah.
That was a magical passport.
It's the one thing that came out of it.
Very, very nice, that passport.
Well, I do have a G20 report that came in from RT, just kind of ridiculing the Chinese.
You know, they put on a huge show.
There's like a bunch of commercials that were done by the Chinese, and very professionally done.
And they had some overhead shots of Hangzhou with all the lights, the buildings that got multicolored lights.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
And I have a clip.
Meanwhile, Russia's president is now heading to China, where the 11th G20 summit does get underway on Saturday, the first to be held in the country.
And China has done everything possible to make sure the eastern city of Hangzhou sparkles for the arrival of world leaders.
Ahead of the event, the city has been given a multi-billion dollar makeover.
People in rundown areas, too, were urged to wipe out cockroaches, mosquitoes, and rodents from the streets, we understand, while all the city's factories have been shut down, too, to stop pollution and keep the sky clear.
Local schools have also been given extended holidays, and families have received holiday vouchers to help ease congestion.
Nice!
Now, I want to mention that RT pronounces it, and I think...
Wrongly, because the Chinese...
I get it from the Chinese stations.
Hangzhou.
Meanwhile, Russia's president is now heading to China, where the 11th G20 summit does get underway on Saturday, the first to be held in the country.
And China has done everything possible to make sure the eastern city of Hangzhou...
Ha ha ha ha!
Hangzhou.
That's a good catch.
Thank you.
Yeah.
A lot of subtext in the news in today's show.
No kidding.
No kidding.
Well, something kind of disturbing happened on Friday.
In America, we have the long holiday weekend.
Is it Labor Day weekend?
Is that what this is?
Labor Day weekend.
Labor Day weekend.
You can start wearing white again.
No, no, you have to stop wearing white.
You can't wear white.
You have to stop wearing white.
After Labor Day.
What is the significance of Labor Day?
Is this our own May 1st version?
It's a May Day thing, yeah.
Is it like a socialist thing?
Yeah, kind of.
When the power of the unions was high, they put this thing together.
I should look it up and get the actual explanation, but it is what it is.
It's Labor Day.
The FBI released a memo...
Which is, you definitely want to do this on a Friday afternoon for a long holiday weekend to ensure that they will really not get discussed.
Very similar to the 28 pages from the 9-11 convention report, which were also released on a weekend.
That was the weekend that the terrorist attack took place in Nice, so that was, you know, it just doesn't get discussed.
Perfect timing.
Yeah, it's perfect timing.
But it was, of course, I read the report for you, and there are a few things we can talk about if...
If you're interested in what's in the report.
I have a couple of clips, and I do have a thing where I have the ABC report where I think they twisted it in such a way that I can deconstruct it and show how you can untwist it.
Now, I believe that what you're now going to play is a part of the leaner report, is it not?
It might.
Well, it's kind of.
Yeah, you talk about ABC twisting the story.
Yeah, well, the reason I say it is I have a gift for you.
Oh, yes.
Are you ready to receive your gift?
I'm all whatever.
Yeah, ears.
Leanerreport.com, baby.
Oh, you got it?
Yeah, go take a look.
It goes straight to your PDF. Oh, dynamite.
Yeah.
So all you have to do is update the PDF and everything will be great.
Just leave it at the same place.
Yeah, I'll update it once a month.
Okay, so it seems like you have some packaged material here.
I do, a little bit.
Let's play this.
Now, what we're talking about is, I'm assuming, we're talking about Hillary's...
About her interview with the FBI. Her interview with the FBI. A couple things up front.
So, it's just meeting notes, which were heavily redacted, but there's no, apparently there's no recording, which I don't believe.
I don't believe.
That sounds like a lie to me.
But, you know, there were some interesting bits in there.
And I have some clips, I have some thoughts, but let's get into it with you.
Well, let's start.
I got three versions.
I got the RT, which is the most dramatic version because they cam it up to make Hillary look like an idiot.
This is RT on the Clinton FBI report.
Hello, welcome.
Coming to you live from Moscow, you're watching RT International.
Now, we'll start in America because the FBI has released the finding of its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server, which she used to send classified information while Secretary of State.
However, Clinton couldn't give answers to a number of key questions during the investigation.
Clinton could not recall when she first received her security clearance.
Clinton could not recall how often she used this classification authority.
Clinton could not give an example of how classification of a document was determined.
Clinton could not recall a specific process for nominating a target for a drone strike.
More now on the FBI report.
Here's Caleb Moppet.
It's 47 pages long, and it shows the investigation that the FBI did of Hillary Clinton's use of her personal emails for private servers, specifically using personal emails for classified government information.
As you look through the documents, one of the interesting things that comes out is that 13 different devices were used by Clinton, and that when she finished with one device, her staffers admitted to breaking them in half and breaking them and smashing them with hammers, Let me play a quick report that flows right out of this.
As this news came out Friday afternoon, CNN's Brooke Baldwin, who...
Your favorite.
Yeah, one of my favorites, yeah.
Except, again, the makeup is all wrong there at CNN. My God, stop spraying these people like they're bugs.
Spray makeup is horrible.
So she has one guy, Evan Perez, who's one of the CNN correspondents, on the White House lawn in front of the White House.
And some guy, who's obviously a Trump supporter, is saying, oh, well, listen to what they did.
And just, it's too bad we don't have video in this one case, because the expression on Brooke's face is priceless.
When she jumps in and tries to fact check on the fly.
17,500 emails that she lied about turning over.
The server wiped.
Within weeks of there being a report that she had a private server, it was wiped.
She thought that C, which stands for classified, stood for cookie or something.
Which stands for classified.
She thought that drone strikes are not classified.
She said that the reason she used the private server is for convenience, and that she only had one device.
She used 13 Blackberries, let me finish, and five iPads.
This is somebody who is absolutely disqualified from becoming president.
They destroyed Blackberries with hammers in the State Department.
That's not what the president said.
Evan, Evan, Evan, hold on.
Can you fact check that?
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hold on, hang on!
Hammers?
Fact check that for me, please.
Fact check that.
On the fly.
Fact check.
Yes, they did, Brooke.
As you mentioned, there were 13 devices, mobile devices, and five iPads that the FBI said that, you know, in some way were used with her private email server, and they did, in some cases, just destroy them with hammers when they were done using them.
Ah!
I love this!
Better call Saul.
Did Brooke at least read this thing?
It's not that big of a paper.
No, it was coming out as she was on the air.
Now, to be fair, in the actual report itself, they do make mention of the 13 devices.
And I know exactly how this goes.
I can tell you exactly, because I know the type of person who Hillary Clinton is, that she's been a celebrity, she's had power and influence and certainly money for a long, long time, and she acts like most a-holes who have that.
And if the BlackBerry doesn't work, this is what we've deconstructed throughout, you know, several months when there was a power outage and then, you know, she couldn't reach the server because it was in their house in Chappaqua.
Chappaqua.
Yeah, Chappaqua.
She just, oh, the BlackBerry's not working!
Give me a new BlackBerry!
Yeah, I can see that.
Okay, here's the new one.
And then, no, but I've read all the different reports.
And then, well, this is, I don't understand.
It's a new operating system for BlackBerry.
And they got her a new one.
Hey, I want an older version.
Boom, got to get an older version.
And only on one case do they say that there was recollection of it being destroyed with a hammer.
Not all of them necessarily.
And the iPads that they could find, only three of the five, had no evidence that she had had her personal email on it.
So I'm just...
Too difficult to figure out.
Possibly, possibly.
I think you're onto something which makes me want to follow up with this clip, and I'll tell you why.
Play this Hillary and the new Docs PBS. This is a PBS thing.
Okay, here we go.
So what's new about the documents that were released today?
There are several new details, including really a sense of what Hillary Clinton told FBI investigators in that three and a half hour interview at FBI headquarters on July 2nd.
Hari, she said she used this personal server as a matter of convenience.
She never had a concern that she or anybody close to her was mishandling classified information.
And that she actually doesn't recall attending a security briefing or any kind of training about open records lawsuits or open records laws, which is interesting because these materials only came out after a host of FOIA requests from news organizations and calls from Republicans in Congress.
And there was one of the emails, or at least one of the quotes that we have here, is about a drone program.
I think we can put that up.
It says, Clinton stated, this is the FBI saying, Clinton stated, deliberation over a future drone strike did not give her cause for concern regarding classification.
I mean, is this willful oversight, ignorance?
Was she too busy?
What were the reasons that they gave?
Recall, Hari, that the FBI Director James Comey has said that Hillary Clinton and her closest aides were extremely careless with government secrets, but he didn't find enough evidence to prosecute anyone for wrongdoing.
That said, these new documents today include more information about what was going through her email server, a lot of documents, a lot of emails about the drone program, one of the government's most secret tools in the national security space.
Again, I have another clip that fits right in with this if you want.
Oh, because I do have some comments about this clip, but if you have another clip to back it up, I'll go back.
Yeah, before she said at the beginning of the clip about she was not able to recall her briefings on how to identify and handle classified information.
The same Evan guy who burst Brooks' bubble there saying, well, yeah, actually they did destroy stuff with a hammer.
He had this little ditty for her.
Let me actually just bring you back because you said 39 times she said I could not recall.
In what context?
Was that with regard to all kinds of different questions on drones and classification levels or what?
They had mostly to do, Brooke, with whether or not she was aware of the propriety of using her unclassified system to discuss some of these different issues.
Whether or not she ever got a security training briefing to tell her how to use her unclassified system to talk about sensitive programs.
And here's the most interesting one.
There's a discussion back in 2011 around Christmas time.
The CIA is planning to do a drone strike.
There's some discussion among some states.
Department officials.
And what's remarkable is the Secretary of State says that she wasn't aware of what the rules are for handling this type of stuff over Christmas holidays.
Because as you know, over the holidays people are traveling, they don't have access to their classified skiffs, their secure systems to communicate.
And she said she didn't really know.
There was no protocols for dealing with that.
That's kind of shocking, frankly, that you don't know that you can't talk about something so sensitive as a drone program.
Hey, but I want everyone to know that I am broadcasting from my classified skiff.
Now, a couple of things I've noticed in this.
One is this training thing.
You have to know that, and I'm guessing, I could be wrong, I don't think these are personal training.
I think there's like a video series you watch.
Yeah, like when you go to a gun range.
They show you how to be safe and you have to watch that for 15 minutes.
Or like when you work at a company as a higher executive.
I'm not pointing the finger at anybody.
But you work at a company as a higher executive, I'm not pointing the finger at anybody.
Yeah.
And you fail to take the training on how to hire and fire.
You fail to take the sexism training that you have to take a course.
I did.
I took the course on how to avoid sexism in the workplace.
I know somebody who didn't, not to point the finger.
No, I got very bored with having to wait two minutes to pretend I read every page before I moved on.
You and Hillary.
Now.
Yeah, but I'm a podcaster.
Small difference.
Yeah, you have the edge on her.
So, now, the other thing that's kind of interesting is I think that people are kind of missing the point about the drone stuff.
Hillary happened to be just, like you said, with the Blackberry thing.
She's out of touch with reality.
Exactly.
He knows.
The drone thing is a common thing.
Everybody knows about it.
Generally accepted principles.
It's all good.
It's not a secret.
How is this classified?
It's not an issue.
Yeah, we're just bombing people with drones.
This is not a secret.
I don't get it.
This is not a problem.
We know all about this.
It's not a problem.
And so I think all these clips kind of prove that she's kind of an aristocrat.
Well, this question came...
It's kind of...
This question came up in the State Department briefing with our buddy Kirby, who is still a moron.
And, well, he had trouble coming up with an answer himself.
Who are the people who actually would brief someone like Secretary Clinton when one of those in-person briefings happened?
And do you have any dates of when those briefings happened?
They never happened!
The dates on when those briefings might have happened or if they happened.
That is not an uncommon practice, particularly for somebody at that level.
And it's usually people that work inside the Administrative Bureau here at the State Department.
So they're State Department employees that would...
Do you have any more specifics, I guess?
I don't.
I don't.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't have it.
You know what I find odd?
We have this video.
Which, of course, we've played this many, many times, where she is being interviewed and she receives information that Gaddafi has just been killed.
In fact, I'll play that just so everyone remembers what her response was.
I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
Yes, we came, we saw, he died.
We killed him!
We killed him!
Now, she finds out, if you watch that video, by Uma handing her a Blackberry.
Why have I not found this email anywhere in the WikiLeaks?
Because that is clearly on her Blackberry.
We know her Blackberry was configured either for her Clinton email, but if it was her state email, which I doubt, then we should have that.
She received a message that said, we got him, we killed him, or something.
I have not been able to find this.
I'll give you 10 points for that.
I'd like to find it.
Maybe I'm not looking right.
Maybe it's code.
I have no idea.
But if it was classified, gee, then I guess that classified email was on our server but never made it into the public domain.
I don't know.
So he died.
She was thrilled.
So happy.
I killed a guy.
Big smile on her face, too.
Well, ABC did a thing, and I just want to show you how easy it is and how easy it would be to change the structure of a story just by changing one word.
Really?
Yeah.
And this is, because ABC in this particular piece, and then I think there's a follow-up piece.
There is a follow-up, Claire.
Again, this is showing the leaner report to be ABC leaning toward Trump because both these pieces I'm going to play are very pro-Trump and anti-Hillary in a way that you can see how easy it would be to just twist it a little bit to make it go the other way, especially the first piece.
The second piece, you can't do that because it's just ridiculous.
But the first piece, and I'll explain how easy it is.
Really don't understand how she was able to get away from prosecution.
And Cecilia joins us now.
Cecilia, we just heard from Donald Trump right there.
He and the Republicans are not going to let up on this.
Is her campaign responding?
Well, Tom, her campaign says these documents make the case for why she was not charged.
But look, new polls show that Hillary Clinton is more unpopular than ever.
And these documents are not going to help on that front.
Tom?
Okay.
Okay.
It's funny.
These documents are not going to help on that front.
Let me hear it again.
Let me just hear the last bit here.
More unpopular than ever, and these documents are not going to help on that front, Tom.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Now, if she had said, these documents are not going to make any difference on that front.
Play the piece again and just imagine, because you could actually make the point.
One of the things I've been noticing is because I used to write for, I still do a thing with Horowitz, obviously, the financial stuff.
And one of the things in the financial world that's always fascinated me is the market goes up and they blame it on A. Right.
Now, there were some incidents.
You know, the job numbers came out today at 150, and the market went up.
The job numbers, you know, it's because of the job numbers.
Or, the market went down today because of A. The market went down today because of the job numbers at 150.
The exact same information is interpreted for the market going up or the market going down.
I've always been fascinated by people taking the exact same piece of information and making it responsible for those things.
Aren't those what are known as market indicators?
No.
You can call it a market indicator, but if you have a value of X, and then you claim that X, the value, is the reason the market went up, that's one thing.
But if you claim X is the reason the market went down, if the market happened to have gone down, that's another thing.
But X is the same.
Right.
Oh, okay.
I see what you're saying.
The same number.
So you have the same information and you blame them.
You take that information and you blame it for it going up or you blame it for it going down.
And people go, oh yeah, that's it.
I guess it would also depend.
It's also like Janet Yellen.
The market goes up or down.
I listen to Janet Yellen.
I'm like, she didn't say anything.
Market goes up.
She didn't say anything.
Market goes down.
If you listen to this carefully, you can see how easy it would be to say yes or no.
You get the exact same piece of information, and then you, the reporter, at the end make a conclusion.
Now, if you listen to this end again, why is the reporter making any sort of conclusion at all?
Let's listen to the report again.
It's only 20 seconds.
Really don't understand how she was able to get away from prosecution.
And Cecilia joins us now.
Cecilia, we just heard from Donald Trump right there.
He and the Republicans are not going to let up on this.
Is her campaign responding?
Well, Tom, her campaign says these documents make the case for why she was not charged.
But look, new polls show that Hillary Clinton is more unpopular than ever.
And these documents are not going to help on that front, Tom.
Gotcha.
Will they help or not?
She could just as easily say, these documents won't make any difference.
These documents will help?
She could have said that?
Yeah, so this was an editorialized tag on the report, which was disparaging.
Yeah.
Well, good work, ABC. And you see this constantly on all the networks.
And they do this, and it's just, to me, again, it's like the stock market analysis reports at the end of the day, which is literally at the end of the day.
The market closes.
The market goes up, they blame it on X. The market goes down, they blame it on X. It's the same thing.
It makes no sense.
And that's exactly what the news media has been doing with Trump and Hillary.
But of course, ABC goes further than that when they play part two, which I think is even more twisted, because what they're doing now is, this is very subtle propaganda, and I really enjoyed this.
You ready?
Yeah.
Documents are not going to help on that front, Tom.
Cecilia, thank you.
And these new documents prompted House Speaker Paul Ryan to renew his call for Hillary Clinton to be denied access to classified information.
Donald Trump stopped by FBI's New York field office today for his second intelligence briefing.
Trump is now stepping up his outreach to African Americans, meeting with community leaders in Philadelphia, and tomorrow visiting a Detroit church.
His first appearance before a mostly minority community.
Now, what we have here is just a quick bite on Hillary.
You know, she shouldn't be given classified material.
And then they cut to a video of a bunch of these, you know, SUVs going by saying that Trump is getting the briefing as they're bitching about Hillary shouldn't get the briefing even though she gets it.
Yeah.
And it was just like, the juxtaposition was like, Hillary shouldn't get the briefing.
Meanwhile, old Donald's here getting the briefing.
And I just thought it was outrageous reporting.
But I've seen most news networks do this in reverse.
You know, Trump's an idiot, but Hillary's handling it right.
So it's, in a way, it's refreshing to hear this from a mainstream outlet to at least switch it up a little bit.
Yeah.
Well, I'm also...
I'm really thinking now that the press is...
Well, there's a sales call going on.
Let's put it that way.
The press is angry that Hillary has not done a press conference.
Yeah, they're getting irky.
And I was thinking about this.
Somebody pointed out wisely on one of the lesser networks from the middle of nowhere.
They said, why is she giving one?
They're useless.
They don't prove anything.
They don't give us any greater understanding of the candidate.
It's pointless.
I think that's probably true.
I don't think that's the reason she's not doing it.
But it is kind of pointless.
But on the other hand, you got this beat with Hillary.
You need material.
You have to write something up every day.
Because you're just with her and you've got to come up with something.
At a press conference, at least you can ask a question and look like you're doing something.
It's bad for the press.
I have two clips here.
CBS This Morning, they're mad.
And they had Cain on.
Poor Cain.
Poor Tim Cain.
Cain is not.
And he was obviously brought in to run interference.
And he's just swimming, but he's kind of treading water, really, is what he's doing.
So CBS This Morning had the vice presidential nominee for the Democrats on, and they started badgering him about the lack of press conferences.
And he came back with some unsatisfactory answers, as you can imagine.
Senator, this was Donald Trump's first meeting with the head of state as the nominee, and he immediately opened up the floor to reporters for questions.
When will we see Hillary open up the floor and take questions from reporters, at any event?
Well, you see questions from reporters every day.
She talks to the press everywhere she goes.
She did a press conference when she was at the recent meeting of the African American and Hispanic newspaper publisher.
That was the first time in a long time, soldier.
She doesn't do it that often.
Well, look, I don't see what the massive difference is between a press conference and talking to the press everywhere you go.
She talks to the press a lot, and I've been with her when she's talked to the press.
But just to set the record straight, it has been 272 days since she has had a formal news conference.
I want to also ask you, Senator, it has been the case.
I've covered many press conferences.
But again, I think she did a news conference with the publishers of the nation's African American and Hispanic news Papers within the last month.
And that counts.
She took, I think, six questions during that huge press conference.
And one of the answers included my brain.
I might have short-circuited.
The other answer was, some of my best friends are African-Americans.
They're a legitimate group.
A small press conference with them counts.
The New York Times recently reported, and this is true and I've covered that unlike any other presidential nominee in history, she is not allowing journalists to accompany her on the plane, the campaign plane.
This is something that has been standard since I've covered presidential campaigns.
Why is that the case?
Do you believe in transparency?
Do you think this will change?
Well, I mean, I'm going to use my own example.
I'm traveling, too, and I travel in a small plane, and the press travels in a plane with me.
We're not on the plane together, but that's going to change in about a week.
And I think that's fairly common.
I guess the bigger plane's coming in.
You can't wait.
These small planes, how annoying.
Give me a G5. During campaigns that you often fly in small planes, and then you get into the end, you start flying in larger planes.
If you get the larger plane, then you know you're good to stay.
If you stay in the smaller plane, Mr.
Cain, You may want to reconsider your nomination.
So I think that is something that, yeah, as we get into the thick of the campaign in Labor Day, that is going to change.
I don't even think Donald Trump allowed the press, the American press, to go with him yesterday when he went to Mexico, which was highly unusual.
Unusual?
Yeah, if you're the president, it may be unusual.
Man, his head's in the wrong place.
And there's this video floating around because the press...
I have a couple of articles here.
They are really quite mad about this.
It's really getting on their nerves.
And I think it may be a sales call at the same time saying, hey, you know, the polls are tightening up.
The bans are narrowing.
You're not doing press conferences.
They've got these phony baloney polls tightening up as bull crap.
Maybe, maybe, maybe you should, you know, spend some more money on ads or something like that.
I don't know.
It's getting a little problematic.
So there's this video of when she's walking in some kind of parade.
And there's no audio to it that's useful for a clip.
But you have to see it.
So her staffers have this rope.
All right.
There's one, two, four people are holding a rope.
And it creates kind of, you know, like a U shape around in front of Hillary Clinton and her little entourage as they're walking in the parade.
And the journalists are on the other side of this rope, and so these The staffers are just walking slowly, setting the pace of how fast the secretary will walk.
But this rope is like shooing the reporters.
The rope is against you.
You have to move forward now.
Don't cross the rope.
It's like herding cats with a rope.
This may be something common.
I've never seen it before.
I've never heard of such a thing.
So instead of a wall of guy security or something, there's a rope.
A little rope.
Yeah, like a jump rope.
It's not a big, thick anchor boat rope or anything?
No, it's a maritime rope.
It's like a sailing rope, one of those.
Smooth and...
But they use that just to corral everybody.
Move along, people.
Move along, slaves.
CBS again, now comparing Trump to Clinton and how they deal with the press.
Clinton's 22 fundraisers in the wealthy enclaves of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod, the Hamptons, plus California, netted at least $31 million for her and for the party.
But they also fueled a new Trump talking point.
She doesn't do rallies of any consequence.
No press conference in, what, 255 days?
He's attacked a judge.
Clinton did phone into two cable news shows last week, promising, as she has for months, that she will do a news conference at some point.
Stay tuned.
There'll be a lot of different opportunities for me to talk to the press.
The press should be ashamed of themselves.
Trump has held at least 14 news conferences this year.
His combative approach is a far cry from Clinton's.
She's generally too busy ignoring reporters to insult them.
Clinton did take Eight questions at a journalism forum earlier this month.
I may have short-circuited it, but two of them were on the least favorite subject, which could help explain her aversion to the format.
I have acknowledged repeatedly that using two email accounts was a mistake.
New Mexico will be paying for the wall.
As the election nears, Trump has grown less accessible, too.
Nearly all of his recent TV interviews have been with Fox News.
And Democrats note he still has not released his tax returns or explained discrepancies in the glowing letter released by his doctor.
Yeah, so they add a little balance at the end there.
But for CBS, you know.
Yeah, CBS definitely.
Well, when Nora was grilling Cain there, I thought it was interesting that she was kind of snotty with him.
Kind of.
Oh, yeah.
Very snotty.
She is like just a Hillary booster, but I don't know what's going on.
Well, another Hillary booster was a daughter of the elite, Mika Brzezinski.
On the Morning Joe's on MSNBC, which is, I mean, shoot, that's a very pro-Hillary network.
I won't say that's the most pro-Hillary show, but she has certainly been very pro-Hillary.
This news broke, of course, during her show about there being an additional 30 Benghazi emails which showed up, which previously were, you know, they had everything.
I have nothing left in my possession, and part of these...
New emails that appear, 30 of them deal directly with Benghazi, so that would be incorrect based upon previous statements.
Mika, oh man, Mika did not take kindly to this.
No, I think it would make a difference, but I think the email, the home server, the foundation, I think it's all part of the bag that the Clintons have lugged across the landscape of this country for 30 years.
I don't think it's one specific thing, I think it's just an additional thing.
You know what people, when they get out there in the ether, in today's headline, it's 30 emails, Benghazi hidden.
That doesn't help.
Sorry, 30 missing emails about Benghazi?
That just doesn't help.
It's still mushier and gushier.
No, it's not mushy.
It's mushier than Trump's soundbite.
People are not that dumb.
Not a matter of dumb.
The Trump, what's baked in people, oh yes, she's untrustworthy.
We get it.
What's baked into Trump is he's dangerous and unstable.
Well, that's true.
Unstable Trump's She's not changing untrustful at this point.
I'm just saying what we've been saying for over a year even further is that the email thing is big.
It needs to be answered to.
It needs to be completely transparent from the get-go.
I guess she couldn't push the State Department to move along and get those emails out.
I see where we have a little comic relief coming up, though.
We do.
Yeah, we do.
This is a woman scorned.
Yes.
Oh, hell yeah.
And what's happened, I think a lot, this I think happened when Hillary ran against Obama.
I think besides her being kind of like aloof and standoffish and then kind of, you know, turns the charm on and off at will and coldly and she's, you know, can't sweat.
I think the people that she surrounds herself with are probably snoots.
I think it gets on people's nerves after a while.
I don't care how much you support her.
If you're constantly trying to cover her and you keep running into these roadblocks and this other nonsense and then lies, it gets to you eventually.
I've identified something with powerful women.
And this goes back to my company, which had New York, and we eventually took public on NASDAQ. And one of the top executives, we acquired a lot of companies.
And so your company gets bought.
Hey, you're now a VP. It's a great way to do business.
And this woman, Susan, was in her mid-40s.
And she had a consulting company and she had a couple of clients.
So she was acquired with her consulting company, basically her and her staff.
And the way her staff was trained to treat her was, I think, and it's probably something to do with New York a little bit, too.
It was just like she was Anna Wintour.
You know, like she was the editor of Vogue magazine.
Because, you know, time for Susan's lunch?
Oh, well, you know, we're in New York.
Most people go out, you go to the deli, maybe you go to a restaurant if you've got some clients, or you bring something back in the office, you eat it, whatever it is.
No.
The conference room would be booked, and they would set up her lunch in the conference room with china and silverware, no plastic knives or forks, cloth, napkins.
And she would just be in there, you know, and she'd have her lunch and her little minions would take care of her.
And that is part of the female power process, which is undeniable, but just as creepy as men have these issues.
Yeah, well, I think that goes on with Hillary.
Yes!
So when you're talking about who's around her, yeah, it's a bunch of suck-up and yes-men, yes-women.
Meanwhile, Judicial Watch won a lawsuit, and the lawsuit was that they wanted to have Hillary Clinton testify under oath.
The judge said, well, what we're going to do is we won't bring her in.
You can't do it in person, but you can write down 25 questions, and she will have to answer those questions under oath, but it can be written.
And I don't think this is discussed very much.
No, I think I've only seen...
I've never seen a mention of it, actually.
It's Zero Hedge.
Yeah, Zero Hedge.
Yeah, exactly.
They're the ones who keep bringing stuff like this into the public domain, but nobody pays attention.
So there's a couple of...
I have a list of 25 questions if you want me to highlight a few.
Yeah, I've looked over the list.
I didn't bother to find any.
I thought they were all pertinent good questions, but I never thought that I'd pick out the top five.
In a 60 Minutes interview aired on July 24, 2016, you stated that it was recommended you use a personal email account to conduct official State Department business.
What recommendations were you given about using or not using a personal email account to conduct official State Department business?
Who made such recommendations?
And when were any such recommendations made?
So that is, you know, trying to bring Colin Powell into the fight again.
As she's very clear that Colin Powell pulled her aside and said...
It's his idea.
Yeah, he's it.
Even though Colin Powell wasn't even in the office when she got there, it was Condoleezza Rice.
Yeah, and also it's a little different from having an AOL account versus your own email server.
After President Obama nominated you to be Secretary of State and during your tenure as Secretary, did you expect the State Department to receive FOIA requests for or concerning your email?
So they're really pounding on that.
This was interesting.
On June 28, 2011, you sent a message to all State Department personnel about securing personal email accounts.
In the message, you noted, quote, recent targeting of personal email accounts by online adversaries and directed all personnel to avoid conducting official department business from your personal email accounts.
Why did you continue using your ClintonEmail.com email account to conduct official State Department business after June 28, 2011 when you were actually advising all State Department personnel to avoid doing so?
Uh-oh.
By the way, I saw that one.
My thoughts on that is, although she won't admit it, I believe that she didn't even write that memo.
Of course she didn't.
No, of course she didn't.
But what is cool is there's an email address, I don't have to find it here, which apparently is an email blast address, and you can send, by sending email to that, I don't know if it still works, it'll send email to the entire State Department.
I thought that would be fun to...
Oh, there was a blast address on there?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, we should tell them to listen to the No Agenda show with a quick email.
Let me see if I can find it here.
Actually, let me take a look at the...
Everybody's got BLAST address.
I wish people would send them to us so we could solicit more listeners.
I think I have it here.
Hold on.
I have the BLAST address in the actual FBI document.
Let's see.
I think I actually highlighted that because I thought it was very funny.
Hold on.
Is it here?
Well, let me just read.
We'll hit it.
Go on.
We'll do it later.
There's a couple of things I highlighted.
The first thing I thought was...
And the report actually kind of discredits, in a way, what the Republicans have been after with this...
You know, with this email thing, particularly as it pertains to what the FBI director said, that there really was no malicious intent.
So if you really, and these are almost footnotes in this document, which is redacted in some weird places I want to talk about as well.
But here are conclusions in the document.
It says, Clinton never deleted, nor did she instruct anyone to delete her email to avoid complying with Federal Records Act, FOIA, or state or FBI request for information.
Concerning the Congressional Preservation Request on March 3, 2015 for email and other records, Clinton trusted her legal team would comply with the request.
Clinton had no knowledge regarding the following topics.
The creation, storage, transfer, or access to an archive of her email created by Monica Hanley in the spring of 2013.
She had no knowledge of the specific processes and procedures used by Clinton's legal team and PRN to separate her work and personal email from the And she had no knowledge of discussions of federal records related to Apple, Pagliano, or PRN servers.
Which means she really, according to the FBI conclusions, did not delete her emails herself and had no knowledge of it.
Now, if something comes out later on that can prove that she was aware of it, then she's going to jail because she lied to the FBI. But to be honest, this report really states something that was...
That the FBI director had already said.
If you highlight that only, the report isn't actually all that bad.
However...
The agencies determined that 68 of the email chains were indeed classified.
In addition, the classification determination process administered by the US Department of State in connection with the Freedom of Information Act identified approximately 2,000 additional emails that are classified as confidential.
The first server that was installed in 2017 by Justin Cooper, at the time an aide to former President William Jefferson...
It wouldn't be 2017.
2007, I'm sorry.
The first server was...
I thought this was fun, no one's mentioned it.
It was an Apple OS X server on a Mac Mini.
On a Mac Mini?
Yeah, I ran one of those.
If you get the Mac Mini...
I don't know if they still make that.
I don't think they make the OSX server edition anymore.
But yeah, you could run your email on that.
It's pretty decent.
I thought that was...
No one's mentioned this.
Hail Apple!
This is good news!
Yeah, you'd think the Apple people would.
Now, her BlackBerry addresses is very disturbing.
Prior to January 1, 2009, when she was sworn in as Secretary of State, she'd been using her email address, hr15 at mysingular.blackberry.net, which is pretty much just an AT&T email account on AT&T servers, which later changed to hr15att.blackberry.net.
But then when she started using her new private domain to host email service on the Apple server, that's when they connected it up to the Apple server.
There we go.
Oh yeah, this Apple server was later in 2014 turned into just a regular old workstation at the house.
And the data on the server was transferred to an Apple iMac computer, and the hard drive of the old Apple computer, which previously served as the Apple server, was discarded.
I don't know, just thrown out in the trash?
Wow.
I mean, that's bad.
If that's true, that is bad.
Yeah, they just transferred it.
You can get a guy to come over with a big giant truck, and he's got this machine.
I've seen these things and I actually got to toss a disc into one.
Right.
I'm pretty sure.
It's a grinder.
And you throw it in there and boom!
The thing is shredded to a million little bitty pieces.
It works.
Kind of sad.
Let's see, down here.
Oh, yes.
So there's consistently one person's name who was redacted out when it comes to her aides, which I keep seeing in this.
Here's the first.
Abedin, redacted, and Hanley also assisted Clinton with setting up any new devices.
This is what I was talking about earlier.
According to Aberdeen, it was not uncommon for Clinton to use a new BlackBerry for a few days, then immediately switch it out for an older version with which she was more familiar.
Clinton stated that when her BlackBerry device malfunctioned, her aids would assist her in obtaining a new BlackBerry.
See, it's exactly what I said.
This one's no good.
It's not working.
Give me a new one!
Yeah, it's the internet, baby.
After moving to a new device, her old SIM cards were disposed of by her aides.
Cooper advised he sometimes assisted users, including Clinton, when they obtained a new mobile device by helping them back up the data from the old device before transferring it to a new device and seeking the new device with Clinton's server.
A lot of data floating around when you're doing this stuff.
Abedin and Hanley indicated the whereabouts of Clinton's devices would frequently become unknown once she transitioned to a new device.
Cooper did recall two instances where he destroyed Clinton's old mobile devices by breaking them half or hitting them with a hammer.
Yeah, that'll do it.
Again, it's the optics.
You broke the screen.
Let's see.
Oh, yes.
And then we talk about how the guy was asked to...
He had actually forgotten to delete this email archive, which Hanley had put together.
And he did that with something called Bleach Pit, which will definitely remove most traces of anything you can find.
And let's go down here.
I think I had one of those redacted things.
It was actually...
It was a little more boring...
Then the media made it out to be, personally.
I was like, this is okay.
Yeah, it is boring.
Yeah.
But the media can't do what you just did because nobody would be watching anymore.
Right.
Who cares?
So at one point, they did have email chains going around amongst themselves, 2011, January 9th.
Cooper sent Aberdeen an email stating someone was attempting to hack the server, prompting him to shut it down.
Hack the little Mac?
Hack the Mac, yeah.
Hack the Mac.
Which later on, you know, is him just seeing, you know, login attempts, you know, typical Chinese stuff.
Any email server has this all day long.
Yeah, all day, all night.
So he just saw it once?
That makes zero sense.
Cooper sent Abedin another email later the same day stating he had to reboot the server again.
What's a Mac?
Yeah, you just turn it on.
Exactly.
Just unplug it, wait three seconds, and plug it back in again.
The FBI's review of Available Internet Information Services weblog showed scanning attempts from external IP addresses.
Yeah, okay.
The only one appears to have resulted in a successful compromise of an email account on the server.
So they did get into an email account, which means they somehow got someone's password, I think.
Spear phishing, whatever.
You can do it that way.
You can just do it with a hard, you know, just a calculation.
Brute force.
Now, forensic analysis noted that on January 5th, 2013, three IP addresses matching known Tor exit nodes were observed accessing a user email account on the Pagliano server, believed to belong to President Clinton's staffer redacted.
FBI investigation indicated the Tor user logged into Redacted email account and browsed email folders and attachments.
When asked during her interview, Redacted stated to the FBI she is not familiar with nor has she ever used Tor software.
FBI investigation to date was unable to identify the actors responsible for this login or how Redacted login credentials were compromised.
This is the person that is, I think, continuously redacted throughout this document.
And I don't know, who are we missing?
We have Mills, she's in there.
This Cooper person is in there.
Aberdeen is in there.
We've got Hanley in there.
And we know it's a woman?
I'm pretty sure that, yeah.
We don't know for sure.
Because it said she answered or something like that, so it's got to be a woman.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I think you're right.
So we have to figure out the one missing woman in Clinton's staff and we'll figure out who it was that got hacked.
And then there's this addendum which talks about...
Maybe under investigation or something.
That could be.
Or someone has immunity.
That's also possible.
Yeah, I mean, the FBI has done some deals in this regard.
Here it is.
Clinton's immediate staff, to include Mills, Sullivan, Aberdeen, blank, and Hanley, told the FBI in interviews they had predominantly used their state-provided open-net email accounts, blah, blah, blah.
So it's Mills.
It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out what this is.
So Mills, Sullivan, Aberdeen, the redacted person, and Hanlon.
Who could it be?
Well, I think if we did a Google search, putting those names in, I'll bet you the other person would crop up in the search.
Let's try this out.
Let's do something in real time.
Mills?
Let's try this.
Mills?
Sullivan?
Oh, man.
Aberdeen?
Abedin and what's the last one?
Hold on.
And Hanley.
Okay, hold on.
Sullivan and Hanley.
Yeah, so Mills, Abedin.
That's A-B-A-D-I-N or E-N? Hold on.
Abedin?
Abedin.
A-B-E-D-I-N. A-B-E-D-I-N. Okay.
Mills, Aberdeen, Hanley.
Okay, what am I missing here?
Mills, Sullivan, Aberdeen, Hanley.
Mills, I'm missing Sullivan.
Hold on.
Sullivan.
Okay, what are we coming up with?
Hey, chat room, where are you guys?
Yeah, you guys should be doing this with us.
Let me see.
The servants behind Hillary's server meet the staffers.
Maybe it's in here.
I should...
I could do it.
Yeah?
Salon doesn't like my...
Ad blocker?
Okay.
Let me see.
Yes, they do not like my ad blocker.
So, Cooper Pagliano?
I don't...
Hmm.
Pagliano?
Pagliano's mentioned.
Hmm.
So we're missing...
Maybe this is a ghost.
Patrick Kennedy!
Ah, no!
Patrick Kennedy!
Yeah, but they made it look like a woman.
Could be.
So?
Yeah, true.
Maybe he's a woman.
Remember we were talking about someone getting thrown under the bus?
And it was either going to be Mills, Sullivan, but I think Kennedy may get it.
He's a dude.
He's a dude.
Get rid of the dude.
Oh, right.
That would make nothing but sense to get rid of the dude.
Get rid of the dude.
You're toast, man.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Get rid of the dude.
Huh.
Could be.
Unless somebody can come up with another name, we're going to stick with this guy.
Alright, we'll stick with him.
Final clip before we take a little break here.
This is...
Why is this clip not loading?
Hold on a second.
What's going on, clip?
Here we go.
I had RT's take on the...
Hey, what's going on, RT? That's weird.
Huh.
Let me play it from the...
Wow.
Oh.
Could not be opened.
Oh, okay.
Well, I guess I don't have it.
I guess that got corrupted somehow.
What was it?
It was RT's take on the 58th page.
It was funny.
One of those, you know, the way they edit stuff.
You know how they do that.
I'm sorry.
That's a corrupted clip.
I did get my millennial clip redone, though, so we can do that later.
For sure.
What millennial?
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, the classic.
Let me see.
I have a couple other things I need to talk to you about.
Oh, yes.
Here's the one last thing I wanted to say before we take our break.
Anthony Weiner.
So, all of a sudden, he's out, you know, he's screwed because he's been sexting again.
But hold on a cotton-picking minute.
A cotton-picking?
Cotton-picking minute.
This video, this picture he sent, was sent in January, no, June of 2015.
They were holding on to this in case they needed a distraction, John.
They've had this for a year.
This photo has been in someone's possession.
They're full of him holding the camera with a stupid look on his face?
With his hard-on and the kid on the bed, the most recent one.
Oh, that one.
I haven't seen that one, actually.
Well, that's the big one that was the problem.
Yeah, that was the problem.
And that was from January?
June.
June 2015.
June, so it was over a year.
Yeah!
Wow.
It was actually Tina who said, hold on a second.
What is that?
They had this.
Hold on a second.
This guy texted me this over a year ago.
Tina didn't say that.
No, but think about it.
It was getting really hot and heavy.
We had to have the news.
It's so well-timed with these Clintons.
We need to get this FBI report out.
This needs to go out Labor Day weekend.
Labor Day weekend when no one sees it.
We need big noise.
Only two assholes work on that Sunday.
And who gives a shit?
It's a podcast.
And who cares what they have to say?
Yeah.
So I'm thinking, you know what?
Screw it.
Let's just throw him under the bus.
Look at the headlines.
There was nothing else.
There was no talk about anything else except him.
And, of course, it softens, gives a little sympathy for Uma, who is, I think, a marked woman.
I think she's in trouble with a lot of what, you know, how about just her three jobs at the same time?
I'd love to work for the government and for the Clinton Foundation and for the commercial organization Teneo, which was set up by the Clinton Foundation co-founder.
Triple dipping.
Yeah, I'd love that.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I would too.
There's a lot of money coming in.
That's fabulous, really.
Well, that is the find of the day.
I'll give you another 10 points.
I'll take that 10 points.
But what's sad is they've now used up a distraction.
Right.
They used up...
So what's going to happen next?
They're down one.
They're down one distraction.
What now?
Well, they're down one, but they have set themselves up for the big distraction.
Right.
Come on.
We talked about it.
What?
He's gonna kill himself!
Two to the head!
Two to the head!
Gun in his left hand!
Yeah.
Or something.
Yeah.
That's probably it.
We talked about him killing himself a long time ago.
Well, now that I know that they actually set him up and just completely abused the poor guy.
I mean, the guy's a schmuck, but come on.
They really just, oh, you know what?
Screw that guy.
Screw him.
And then the setup is perfect.
Oh, he's so depressed.
It's such a problem.
Boom!
So this could happen just at the end of September.
Whatever Julian Assange says he's going to...
Yeah, when Assange breaks out some new material, then boom, this guy's better.
If I was him, boom, I'd be moving to Idaho and looking for a cabin.
Yeah, and the thing is, it's not even going to help him to avoid small aviation aircraft, canoes, and hot tubs.
It's going to be with a gun, he's going to shoot himself.
I feel really bad saying it, but this is...
You should feel bad, but you know it's a fact.
It's historical analysis of these people.
If they sat on this information for over a year just for timing purposes, this guy's toast.
Yeah.
Because you're right, it's the last, because they used up, they could have sat on it longer and then brought it out whenever they felt like, but no, they had to do it now.
So now we have to wait.
This is terrible.
This is like a horrible, this is worse than House of Cards.
Yeah, poor guy.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, that poor guy.
Sometimes reality is so much funnier.
Well, I don't know.
It's actually not funny.
At least the way I see it.
But it's amusing.
I agree.
Okay.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for Clinton Apple server, Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry, also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
Hey, in the morning, everybody out there in the chat room, noaginastream.com.
Good numbers today, record numbers.
Good to everyone in.
I also want to thank Jay...
I'm sorry?
There's nothing to do other than listen to our show on Sunday, holiday Sunday.
Holiday weekend, you're right.
I want to thank Jay Moon who brought us the artwork for episode 856.
That was the EU Gougers episode.
And this was nice about his art.
There weren't a lot of submissions, but at the very end we were looking at some Google suggestions and one of them was Clinton is toast.
And he had the toast up in like 10 minutes later.
It was Clinton on a toast.
And it fit.
It was nice.
I liked it.
It really worked well.
It felt good.
Yeah.
And considering nobody else sent anything in, it was easy to pick.
Noagendaartgenerator.com.
Please check it out.
Check out what our great artists do.
And if you feel like submitting, go ahead, do it.
You never know.
If it's not used for the show album.
It could be used in the future.
Make sure not to put a show number on it because then it can't be used in the future.
You're taking one shot and that's it.
That's no good.
And make sure that the typeface is big enough that it's kind of readable because it does get shrunk a little bit.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's important.
And keep our pictures off of the art.
We banned ourselves from the art probably five years ago.
And every once in a while somebody goes back and I think they look at the old stuff and say, hey, I have an idea.
Look at that.
How come nobody's doing that anymore?
And then they send a picture with us or one of us.
So that's immediately rejected.
And also don't make it so it's gruesome.
I'll reject anything that's remotely gruesome.
Or just unattractive.
I don't want to cringe when I see the art.
Some tips.
Some tips for the artist.
Nice.
We have a few people to thank.
Executive Associate Executive Producers for show 857, I believe.
Yeah, 857.
857.
Starting with Dame Pamela in Allegheny, New York.
It came with $520, which is 10x the birthday donation.
Oh, wow!
How nice!
Yeah, she gave you ten kisses.
I would like to wish Adam a happy birthday.
Ten X. Can I get, and she just said, that's it.
She says, can I get some sucking in soot?
Chemtrails and the little girl don't eat me Hillary.
Hoping for many more happy and healthy years to come, Adam.
Okay.
Signed Dame Pamela.
Sucking in soot, chemtrails, little girl don't eat me.
Yeah, I think we can do this.
Sucking in soot!
Maybe she wanted the song.
Does she want the song or just the sucking in soot?
I think she just wants sucking in soot, but you can put the song at the end of the show.
Yeah, we'll do that.
Okay.
Let's see.
Where are we?
Don't eat me.
That's all?
Oh, chemtrails.
Okay, here we go.
Chemtrails.
Please don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
Oh, that's a different one.
That's the alternative.
Where's the original girl?
Yes, it's the please and it's this one.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
That one's still the best, I think.
It is.
It's much better.
Thank you, Dame Pamela.
Highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Onward to Darcy Romero, $333.33 out of Burbank, California.
I got an email from her.
I do too.
Oh, okay.
Go ahead.
That's interesting, because she must have sent it separate, so these might be different emails, because mine was sent to the noagenda at divorce.org, which doesn't show a CC to you, but here we go.
I was hit in the mouth one year ago by my husband.
Since that year, I haven't missed an episode.
I've heard numerous people write in to thank you for saving them in various terms.
This is bullshit.
You guys have ruined me.
By opening my eyes to how much of a slave I am and everyone else truly is.
It's too late to go back, though.
Enlightenment has already hit me, so with that I must say thank you.
I have an Obama-bought teacher friend who was all in for killery.
One night out in the brew yard, we got into a political discussion.
I know, I learned.
I know, I know.
What do we tell you?
I brought up the summer deaths of the DNC staffers.
The staffer, actually, that one guy.
But before I could get into all of it, she covered her ears with her hands and said, I don't want to hear it.
Wow.
That's good.
Damn.
She's a teacher.
Oh, fantastic.
Another teacher.
It's been about a month since that encounter and I'm still flabbergasted how someone can refuse more information that can lead to knowledge about a situation, especially someone who's educating youths of America.
It depresses me greatly.
I have so many friends who are smart, well-educated and living Obama's American dream of just getting by.
Thanks, Obama.
Who are so brainwashed that they refuse to think for themselves.
It is disheartening.
I can only be thankful that when I first overheard future Sir Scampers listening to your show, I was able to keep an open mind even after immediately accusing him of being a truther.
Turns out being a cynic isn't so bad.
I would like a de-douching for being my first donation after a year anniversary of listening to your show.
Can I get a noodle boy and an Edward Scissors hand?
What was Scissorhands?
For the end of the show, it was in episode 761.
That was feasibly harmed people.
Do you think Snowden's actions were worth that risk?
Well, you know, to say that he couldn't harm somebody, you know...
Oh, yeah, that's the guy who was talking about...
Instead of Ed Snowden, he was saying Ed Scissorhands the whole time in the interview.
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah, we'll play that at the end.
It's about...
It's okay.
Both of those are at the end.
Give her some karma, and then...
Noodle Boy as well.
Noodle Boy as well.
Those are long clips at the end.
Yeah, it's good.
Good stuff.
Noodle, noodle boy.
Noodle's kid.
All right, well, got that.
So she needs a de-douching and a karma, obviously.
That's always good.
You've been de-douched.
Thank you very much for your very generous donation.
Highly appreciated.
You've got karma.
There you go.
And welcome to George Oberhofer in Jackson, New Jersey.
$300.
He sent a check in and sent a longhand note.
And it's funny.
Thank you for your courage.
This is, I have to, it's going to be slow here, slow going.
Thank you for your courage in this difficult time where having a balanced common sense, no agenda show makes you a Trump-loving Republican.
I have three small requests, two of which are clips.
Please recount the meaning and significance of the Smith-Munt Act.
You can do that.
Please play the clips where the Stooges explain how many Hollywood scripts they have.
This is a good one.
This is another one we haven't played for a while.
How many Hollywood scripts they have been involved with.
And then please give everyone a job's karma so they can donate.
Respectfully, George Oberhofer.
Oh, okay.
Quickie on the Smith-Munt, that's you.
The Smith-Munt Act was originally, I think, brought into law in the early 70s, and this was after the Church Commission, where we found out that the CIA had all kinds of agents and contacts with high-level reporters and people in the news business, newspapers and television.
The newspaper people were working for the CIA. They also had CIA agents sometimes working in those positions.
Still do.
And Mr.
Smith and Mr.
Munn said, okay, here's new rules.
You may not create any propaganda against the American citizens.
And in the 2013 military, what is it, the, what is it called?
The NDA, I think.
Yeah, yeah, the National Defense Authorization Act.
In that, as a sub-clause, because, of course, today's media is internet, there's no way we could comply with not propagandizing at least some American citizens.
They're on the Internet, for gosh sakes.
So that was repealed.
It was repealed in its entirety under the cover of night, buried away in one little section of this huge document, which is really more about, you know, $600 billion.
And therefore, it is now no longer illegal to create propaganda against the American citizens.
And I believe it is pretty much happening.
Well, I think it was happening before then.
Yeah, but now at least it's legal, so it's just been nuts.
What was the other thing she wanted?
Yeah, play the clips where the Stooges explain how many Hollywood scripts, those script fixers that you had.
Yeah, I can play that, right?
This is from the Lear Foundation.
Martin Kaplan explains how the numbers work in Hollywood.
So, in the course of our work, this is in the two years, 11 to 13, 335 storylines that we worked on have been aired.
We've worked with 35 networks in the past four years.
91 different television shows.
And that is for global warming, all kinds of other things that they put into the scripts.
All the propaganda.
All the propaganda gets in there.
Yeah.
And then everyone's jobs karma so they can donate.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Nice, thank you.
Merci, George.
Yeah, that was good to bring that one back.
I forgot about it.
A lot of stuff.
We bring stuff back.
Meanwhile, I'm dropping down to associate executive producers, Dame Astrid, our buddy.
Hey!
She's the Baroness of Tokyo.
Duchess, I think.
Oh, could be Duchess.
I think you're right.
Yeah, Duchess.
250, 252.
252, 252.
That's 252 your age.
52 your age.
Hey, nice.
Thank you, Dame Astrid.
Happy birthday, Adam.
And stop fretting about the hair.
You will always be beautiful with or without your hair.
Oh, thank you.
So you can shave your head.
I think that's what you should do.
Okay, I'm on it.
Dame Astor and Sir Mark Dutchess and Duke of Japan are all the disputed islands of the Japans.
Thank you.
I'm going to give you guys a karma.
You always are there for us.
You've got karma.
Thank you.
I need to go visit them.
Adam Anderson in Anaheim, California, 252.
Oh, also nice.
Thank you.
I'm sending you 252 to say happy birthday to Adam and get a shameless plug for my new product, Drip-O. Drip-O. Drip-O. Our new slow drip code.
I thought it was going to be something else.
I was like, have the allergies brought you down in Austin, Texas?
New Drip-O stops the drip coming out of your schnods.
No, it's Cold Brew Coffee Maker, found at GetDripo, G-E-T-D-R-I-P-O dot com.
GetDripo.
Slow, cold-brewed coffee, that's got to be good stuff.
Thanks, Adam.
Here are some coupon codes, and they gave you a coupon code for your birthday.
It's a gift.
Oh, thank you.
So you can get a cold-brewed coffee maker.
This is nice, this Dripo.
Two-in-one travel ice drip coffee maker and tumbler.
Give him a karma.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Looks nice, man.
You've got karma.
Thank you for the codes.
Onward to Sir James Coates, Black Knight of the No Agenda Show Roundtable and Baron of Dudes Named Ben and Henrico, Virginia 200.
Okay, ITM Crackpot and Tubbs.
Sir James Cates, Or Crockett and Tubbs, sorry.
You know, that's a reference to an old show.
Miami Vice.
Miami Vice.
So James Cates, Black Knight of the No Agenda Show Roundtable, and Baron of dudes named Ben here.
Been a boner for a while.
Time to address my lameness.
Dr.
Drew diagnosed me as a boner.
Please give me a shout-out to my new fiancé, Robin.
And please play me a too-good-to-be-true, two to the head, and take that to the bank.
And the karma?
Mine as well.
It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
You can take that to the bank.
You've got karma.
Thank you.
Nailed it.
Black Knight.
Thank you, sir.
Nathaniel Mosman, a Mosman, Mosman, in Peachtree Corners, which is everywhere, in Georgia, 200.
I've been a no agenda.
I've got a birthday coming up.
I've got a no agenda listener since I don't know when I introduced my girlfriend to you around a year ago.
Now she's a regular listener and often refers to it as the Adam Curry Show.
Sorry, Dvorak.
Yeah.
She likes the big hair.
She often predicts what Adam's opinion of a news story is going to be before it airs.
Since she remembers Adam from MTV as a child and seems to always agree with him, she might have a mild obsession.
She decided to wiki him and to her surprise, they share a birthday.
That's her, me, and Charlie Sheen.
To celebrate and donate to the best podcast in the universe, Adam and Dawn's, that's their name, birthday, are gifting $200 and sending up a regular PayPal donation, too.
Thank you.
Yeah, I'm sure she does.
Keep up the good work.
Please play the drone song, her favorite, and the karma, Nate and Dawn, Adam's birthday twin.
Oh, thank you.
I'll play the short version for you.
The drone again.
It's your beat.
You've got karma.
Nice.
Oh, I love that song.
That concludes our...
Executive Producers and Associate Executive Producers for show 857.
We'll be back later with the people who also helped produce this show.
And also donated a nice $52 for Adam for his birthday, which is yesterday.
Yes, thank you all.
A couple of PR mentions.
As I said, leanerreport.com is now in effect.
Also, I want to mention there's still some tickets left.
And Tina, I went to see the screening last week of Mark Hall's film Killing Ed, which is, you know, this is a more final version.
I'd seen the version several months ago.
Very, very good.
He's real.
This thing is tight.
And it's going to be...
What's the...
What is the theater in Dallas?
We'll go to killinged.com.
And when we were there, it was interesting.
It was at the Alamo Draft House.
Which is a cool theater because you can drink and order food right there while you're watching the movie.
It's low-key.
It's nice.
And when we parked, we parked next to this car, which was filled with bumper stickers.
Kind of like an old Chevy Caprice or something.
I love those cars.
But the bumper sticker said, Jesus was not a prophet.
The real God is a prophet.
It was, you know, some bumper stickers like this.
And I go, what the hell is that?
And it was, you know, Islam rules.
Bumper stickers.
Wow.
Yeah.
It was too dark.
And it was odd because it was right in front of the theater.
I didn't want to be taking pictures because I would have to use the flash.
But in there were representatives from CARE. In the theater?
Yes, the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
And this was an anti-Muslim movie, isn't it?
Yeah, well, it's anti-Gulen.
It's a Gulenist movie.
Yes, it's an anti-Gulenist movie.
Anti-Gulenist.
And Care is now saying, oh, well, looks like you're paid by Erdogan, saying this to Mark, and we're going to audit this film.
And there was one woman who had...
A niqab on.
And two other dudes.
And I really wanted to talk to them.
Because that's like, oh, what did you think of the movie?
I couldn't wait.
But they split like, you know, ten minutes before the end.
They left.
Weak.
But he says at the Houston screening, a Turkish-looking guy came in.
Was he wearing a fez?
As he was doing, I guess.
It was either a Turkish guy or Leo.
He was doing the Q&A. I don't think he had a ticket.
He kept moving row by row down to the front.
The private security guy with me.
The private security guy with me freaked.
I asked the Turkish-looking guy if we could sit down.
Security sat down next to him.
It was a Gulen dude, and he was possibly recording what I was saying.
He thought it was all very weird.
We need a little bit of karma for our buddy Mark.
No one wants to really show this movie, because it's easier not to.
It's easier not to.
I instead went to the extreme opposite of that and saw the Jason Bourne movie.
How was it?
I actually liked it.
But I followed all those movies, so I kind of know what the story is.
Because if you haven't seen the early movies, you might not get this movie at all.
But it was interesting to me.
I have not seen a movie.
The other movies were pretty bad in this regard, but this movie was so anti-CIA that it was outrageous.
I mean, it was like, holy crap, what is the point of this movie?
Did you stay for the credits?
Did you see if there were any credits for a competing agency that were in the credits?
I didn't see anything in the credits that caught my attention.
And I'm thinking because his buddy, his long-term buddy and writing partner, Ben Affleck, seems to work for the CIA. I mean, he did that movie, whatever that movie was, Argo or Argonaut or whatever.
Yeah, that was actually the State Department funded.
Remember, Uma Abedin was credited at the end of the movie.
Thank you, Uma, for all the work you did for us on this movie.
And then when he won, everyone hated him, so they didn't even nominate him for Best Director.
I know, they gave the movie a bunch of awards, but they wouldn't even nominate him for Best Director.
And so I thought this was kind of a counter to that.
So these two guys are working two sides of the fence.
It's very interesting to me.
But this movie, I'm looking at, wow, this is like really bad.
I gotta go see that now.
Yeah, you definitely have to see it for that purpose.
A couple more PR mentions.
Tuesday, September 13th, I will be live on the Night Attack show.
Oh, you're going to go do the dirty deed.
Do the dirty deed, and I guess Justin, what's his name?
Justin.
Justin Brian Roberts something.
Justin.
Yeah, he's flying in.
So we're all going to be in the Austin studios.
Oh!
Yeah, people are excited.
People are pumped.
Pumped.
Oh, I guess this Justin guy's a big fan of yours and wants to meet you.
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
Noagendatorrance.com is working.
So we previously were using some other infrastructure.
Now it'll be always featured on the homepage of the show notes.
Noagendatorrance.com.
If you want to receive our shows via Torrents.
Noagendatorrance.
Torrents.com.
Yeah, it has an RSS feed, which is really nice.
And then I wanted to say in the morning to Max Keiser.
Did you get my email about him?
No.
Oh, he sent me a direct message on the tweeters.
Okay.
And he says, hey, I've been listening to the shows.
I really like them.
Of course, I was on Silicon Spin with Dvorak back in the day.
Yes, he was.
And one day I hope to get de-douched.
How about that?
I hope they get de-douched.
Yeah.
And I checked.
It's really him.
Once we get the donation in with his name on it, he's going to get his de-douching.
Of course.
Of course.
He's living in London, living the high life.
Yeah.
Well, he should tweet our show sometimes.
I don't know if he's listening enough to hear that we do pull some stuff from his show.
I told him that.
I had it back and forth.
I said, hey, man, sure, no problem.
And now, I don't know, something's going on with it.
It's interesting that he sent me another direct message this morning.
Let me read it back and forth to you.
How about that?
Maybe he's a fan of yours.
Well, I'll tell you exactly what he said.
Hold on a second.
Hi, Adam.
Just started listening to recent No Agenda.
Great stuff.
We'll start to listen more.
May need to get deduced at some point.
Smiley face.
Max, both John and I are fans of your show and have played clips from it many times.
Beers on me next time you're in Austin.
I wouldn't go straight for the, hey man, why don't you tweet us once in a while with your 150,000 followers?
He says, no, yeah, we'll do.
I was on John's show, Silicon Spin, back in 2000.
Hashtag factoid.
Oops, I meant 1999, and he has a link to it.
I put that in the show notes.
He says, yes, those are blonde streaks in my hair.
Fellow hair guy.
That's it.
Yeah.
That's the connection.
Yeah.
And he says, oh, my show today, interesting interview with Kim, Doc, Tom, and his lawyer.
I is promoting a show.
Good.
Good.
Everyone go watch Max's show today.
I enjoy his show.
I like watching Stacey.
I like her.
She's hilarious.
Are they romantically involved, those two?
I don't really think so.
Hmm.
I always had that idea.
He's got this other guy who comes on all the time.
Is he romantically involved with him?
Maybe.
I don't think so.
But I don't think so.
I don't think...
I don't know.
It's a good question.
I don't care when I... I'm not like you.
I just listen for the facts, get the clip, get to work.
That's my way to do it.
All right.
Well, we all know what I'm like then.
Fine.
Thank you, executive producers and associate executive producers, for a fabulous start to our show here.
These are actual credits you can use anywhere credits are used.
And we will be thanking more people.
It seems like we have some people also wishing me happy birthday.
We'll do that later on in our second segment.
And remember, another show coming up on Thursday.
And, you know, maybe if you're Max Keiser, you could go out there and, I don't know, propagate the formula, perhaps.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Hey, citizens.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
You know, the future of advertising may be, you know, the way NASCAR does things, especially in sports.
You know, they get these patches all over you and everything like that.
And then when you talk to, anytime you do an interview, you say, well, I like to thank Ford.
I like to thank my, you know, Valvoline.
And by the way, the Valvoline car was working great today along with the such and such.
And they always do this.
And I ran into this in the short.
They have a bunch of different, other than the big stock car races, they have these short track races.
They have all these different races.
Yeah, those little cars that flip over all the time.
I like watching those.
They have those, but they have also stock cars in short track.
Short track stock cars.
And I ran into this interesting driver who plays the role very well.
He's apparently the leader in one of these leagues.
And he's the leader.
They're trying to get him.
And they have this interview with him.
And it was kind of surprising to me, one aspect of it.
He's very professional.
He knows how to name the sponsors.
Let me show you what I'm talking about by playing clip one here.
It's leading into these five remaining races.
We've just got to be smooth like we have been the whole season really.
Take the wins when we can and just take the best finish possible when we can't get the wins.
I definitely can't thank everyone at Bill McAnally Racing, Napa Auto Parts, Frontline Enterprises, Toyota, TRD, everyone that really gets us to the racetrack to even be talking about what to do about these last five final races.
It's cool to be in the points lead.
That was slick.
I like how he did that.
Very slick.
The kicker, though, is in the second part of this clip, listen carefully, and then I want to just say, and all the losers out there who are spending the weekends just pretty much not doing much, except I haven't been able to clean my office, and I have to do that, so I'll put myself in that same camp as you listen to part two.
All right.
What you do about these last five final races, it's cool to be in the points lead, and starting from the lead, it kind of lets us control the race a little bit.
Now, speaking of things that you do away from the track, you just started in the 11th grade, you're homeschooled.
Talk about what the schedule's like being homeschooled and racing.
Yeah, it's a little bit of a crazy schedule.
I was out at the Bill McAnally Racing Shop.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
You heard right.
He's in the 11th grade.
Oh my goodness.
This guy, he sounded like he was in his, you know, like 26, 27.
Yeah, yeah.
He's already got the patter down.
Wow.
He's a future star, obvious.
Yeah, superstar.
Nice.
Perfect, perfect.
Hey, there was...
Points leader, too, by the way.
So yesterday, I started getting these tweets, like, oh, get your producer bit ready, get your producer...
I mean, what are you talking about?
And I know what they meant, of course.
It's like, okay, time to cut it, cut it, cut it, go to black, go blackout, go to cut it, cut it, cut it!
Trump visited a church, a black church, which has been this thing that all the talking heads have been calling for, particularly our black talking heads in America.
Well, if Trump, you know, instead of talking to a white audience, maybe he should go down and talk to people in a black church.
So he goes to a black church.
Of course.
And first of all, very uncomfortable to watch him, white man swaying along to the rhythm.
That's rather disappointing.
He is just as black when it comes to rhythm as Obama, I'm telling you.
No rhythm.
He's like, hey, no, no.
That was bad optics.
But then he was...
There's this whole ceremony.
They're putting the special cloth on him.
The bishop was going to...
I think it was a bishop, wasn't it?
Anointed.
Yeah, the anointed cloth.
And the video, you can't use it on the show because I tried to ISO it left channel.
You can't do it.
But you hear people saying, okay, we've got to cut this.
No, no, I'm going to keep this on.
No, it's time to go.
And literally you hear, blackout, blackout, cut it now!
It was a Reuters feed, which everybody used.
So that went out.
Every channel had that.
And you could hear it kind of.
The people trying to kill the bit?
Yeah, kill the bit.
We can't have him looking all anointed and shit.
That's no good.
We can't have that.
No!
Stop!
Blackout!
Blackout!
Yeah.
Sadly, you couldn't hear it.
But I wanted to mention it.
And that's a lead-in to the following two clips.
Two religious men.
One pastor, Pastor Mark Burns, who is a Trump supporter.
And then we have Reverend...
I don't have his name right here.
And he is against Trump.
And they both had different takes, as you can imagine.
They both had very different takes on...
What Trump was doing at the black church.
So first, let's play Pastor Mark Burns, who said something that I agree with, and I've been saying for a long time.
It doesn't just go for him, but also for other groups.
And what is more offensive, while we're sitting here debating over a cartoon, what's more offensive is the very fact that...
I'm going to be honest.
I'm going to say this here on MSNBC. The very fact that we're talking about the African-American community as though we're one group of people and we're all the same, I think that is very offensive.
That's politically correct.
PC at the highest caliber.
That's what Donald Trump stands for.
We have to eliminate the language that creates this type of a language that says, hey, black people are the same everywhere.
Well, that's not the case.
We bleed red like everybody else.
This is what I've been saying for a long time.
When you even say the African-American community, you're really being racist or bigoted at least.
Yeah, it's totally racist.
The same thing you pointed out with gays.
With LGBT. Yeah, it's the LGBT community.
The gay community.
Yeah, no, it's not all the same.
They don't all think the same.
Far from it, actually, as we know.
Far from it.
There's no white community.
The white community are a bunch of racist a-holes.
If you put white and community together, no, no, no.
Racist a-holes, exactly.
You cannot do this at all, at all, at all, at all, at all.
Okay, so then we have this reverend on MSNBC, and I just love the way this guy talked.
It was just fantastic.
Fantastic.
The Bible says, since he was in the church, by their fruits you shall know them.
You cannot determine the nature of a tree by the bark that it wears or by the fruit that it bears.
Donald Trump has borne bad fruit.
He's borne negative fruit.
There are worms in it.
And when you eat it, you get sick.
And when you go to the hospital, he doesn't even want you to have Obamacare.
I mean, I saw that, like, wow!
Yeah!
Smacking some rhyme like that.
You can't judge the tree by its bark, but by the fruit that it bears, the bad apple.
Donald Trump's apple's got worms in them, and when you eat that and you get sick, you can't even get no Obamagare!
This is no more than an old Southern strategy wrapped up in a new suit in 2016.
Pay attention, John, because I want to ask you about this new strategy.
It's the same strategy that Lee Atwater and those cats use for Richard Nixon, for Ronald Reagan, and for George Bush.
Now, what is he referring to?
Hold on one little bit.
That strategy was devised back in the 70s and the 80s and 60s to talk about, let's use the Southern Dixiecrats.
Let's use the Southern Democrats who right now are voting Democrat and divide them away from the Democratic Party.
And let's use law and order, states' rights.
Let's use the language, but not really go there directly.
But we can divide them and get their vote by using black people.
Okay, so what is this Lee Atwater...
So-called Southern Strategy.
I believe it was developed during the Nixon administration as a way to kind of...
It was a questionable thing to do because what they had done is they...
And I think it worked.
The South had been a strong democratic...
It was the stronghold of the Democratic Party.
And they had gotten to the point where they were winning everything because they were keeping blacks from voting for all practical purposes.
And in fact, many of the states down there are predominantly black.
And if they've all voted, they would have all black, you know, they'd have more black congressmen and the rest.
And they do have a lot of them now.
So the idea was to get these...
These Democrats who were not necessarily, Dixiecrats they were called, as he says, they were not necessarily all in with the Democrats insofar as the socialist ideas of the left that the Democratic Party had been pretty much taken over by.
And so they figured they could By using code words about the state's rights, like he said.
He's right about everything he says.
And all the rest of it, he could get them to switch parties and turn the South into a Republican stronghold.
And whatever the blacks did, they did.
It was irrelevant.
The Republicans have been accused of being racist for doing this.
But in fact, the strategy was just to...
To turn these guys who didn't like the policies of the new left, the new Democrat Party, which had been moving forward since the anti-Vietnam era.
And that's what the Southern strategy was, and it worked.
And that got Nixon in, it got Reagan in, he got in using the same thing, Ben Bush to some extent.
And it's kind of a...
So do you think it is that they are using this exact same strategy?
Is that how you read this?
I don't see that, no.
In fact, when you look at what's going on down there, the Democrats have pretty much dominated the black vote, and most of the blacks do vote, and so you have problems with Bernie Sanders winning a Democratic primary in the South.
I don't think the strategy is in play.
He seems to think it's an old concept that has kind of drifted.
I think he's just old-fashioned.
Okay.
Well, he is old-fashioned, because he did a callback to a song from the 60s.
...as the target to demonstrate as to why they are suffering economically, and they used that target.
Donald Trump has learned this is no more than a page out of that playbook.
Lee Atwater would be proud.
He would be pleased, because the same The message that he gave back then to elect Nixon, to elect Bush, to elect Reagan, is what Donald Trump is using in 2016 in the city of Detroit and around the country.
So if we don't know him by now, then we will never, ever, never know him.
But we do know you.
I love that.
I'm sure someone recalls it.
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Although he was a little fast on the tempo.
I like that.
I like that guy.
I'm surprised he didn't refer to Chick Webb.
See, I don't even know who Chick Webb is.
Anyway, yeah, it's not a contemporary analysis at all.
Okay.
And so it's just the other guy's got more going on.
The other pastor, I've heard him before.
He's really erudite.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I've got something interesting.
All righty.
Because I made this prediction about the national anthem.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Your prediction was it's toast.
It's toast.
Yeah.
And now, the reason I make the prediction, and people say, well, how do you make a prediction like this?
this.
Well, one of the things you do is you look for anomalies, things that the media is, somebody's in the media, the media is behind it.
And so they're going to, once you see the media behind something, then you start to say, okay, well, this is going to, this is trending.
I mean, it could be stopped, but I just don't think it will be.
And a good example of that is what's going on in the country right now.
We have Colin Kaepernick.
Yeah.
And And Colin Kaepernick is a football player who's not standing up because he thinks that the country is unjust.
There's no reason to stand up for the flag in the National Land.
Well, he specifically, he says it's unjust where white police officers are killing African Americans.
Right.
So let's play a few of these clips.
Okay.
Starting with...
Do we have Kaepernick 4 on here?
I see 4, yeah.
I see 4 PBS, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Well, let's start with the beginning.
This is the first report of Kaepernick and the...
On Democracy Now?
On Democracy Now.
Okay, yeah.
And more NFL players are joining 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in refusing to stand for the national anthem.
Kaepernick began the protest last week saying, quote, I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color, unquote.
Well, on Thursday night, 49ers safety Eric Reid joined Kaepernick, who kneeled during the anthem ahead of a preseason game against the San Diego Chargers.
Now, she says anthem twice.
Kaepernick says flag.
Let's play the ISO here.
Okay.
She quotes him.
I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color, unquote.
Okay.
Now, let's listen to Kaepernick himself.
This is Kaepernick clip three.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oops.
Yeah, Kaepernick doesn't want to show up.
Here we go.
I'll continue to sit.
I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed.
To me, this is something that has to change.
And when there's significant change, and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent, and this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand.
Now, what did he emphasize there?
The flag.
The flag, yes.
He emphasizes the flag.
He's talking about the flag.
The Kaepernick thing is about him not standing when the flag goes by during the anthem.
But no, no, that's not what the agenda is.
The agenda is the anthem, even though Kaepernick doesn't seem to know it.
It's not playing along.
So let's play PBS and their interpretation of the whole thing where they don't even bother...
Really paying much attention to what Kaepernick's actually saying.
For more on the Kaepernick controversy and the broader context, we turn to William Roden, a former sports columnist for the New York Times, who has long written on this subject.
First, your thoughts on what's been happening this past week.
Well, you know, it's pretty phenomenal, the controversy.
But in a way, I think we should probably thank Kaepernick because he's really gotten us into a deeper history of the anthem, of the author of the anthem, of the background of the author of the anthem, you know.
Frank Scott Key owned slaves, and there was this very controversial third stanza of the national anthem, which maybe talks about being very unsympathetic.
Yeah, you're right.
You are absolutely right.
Let's take this guy's protest and turn it into our agenda.
Which is get rid of the slave song.
Yeah.
I was...
You nailed it.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Point.
Point.
Point for you.
Thanks.
20 to 1.
It disgusts me, to be honest about it, how they will take somebody who's got some sincerity who's doing one thing, and then they'll twist it to make it about something they want to do.
And I would say I would even blame Amy on this because she's kept saying anthem, anthem, anthem, even though he keeps saying flag, flag, flag.
Right, right, right.
And so these guys don't even talk about the flag on PBS. They go right into it.
It's Kaepernick's protesting Francis Scott Key.
Holy mackerel.
Anyway.
I think you're absolutely right, John.
How would this...
You need to get this to a next level.
Now, first of all, we have laws on the books, which, again, I've listened very closely.
Oh, man, particularly Sirius 127, the progressive channel.
Oh, my goodness.
A bunch of white gay guys talking about how great it is.
Great guy's great.
And you know what?
Now I think about it.
Yes, the slave song, the national anthem, got to get rid of it.
Yeah, you nailed it.
Well, we should start rehearsing the new one.
Which is America the Beautiful, right?
Well, it's either going to be America the Beautiful, God Bless America, that's the second one.
And the third one is America, the song that goes my country, Tits of Thee, which is actually modeled after the British national anthem.
It's not a drinking song, at least, but it is the tune is still stolen.
Yeah.
So it's got to be one of those three songs.
And I don't think it'll be God Bless America because there's a little too much God.
The second one, which is America the Beautiful, is a little less God.
And My Country Tis of Thee, or the song America, is almost zero God, but is stolen from the British national anthem.
It looks like a bunch of copycats.
It makes us look like idiots.
And I don't know what they're going to do.
And I know they're not going to write a new song.
So it's got to be one of those three songs.
Unless somebody can dig up some old, old confederate, not a confederate, but a slave owner's song or something that slave wrote in 1850.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
I mean, maybe there's something waiting in the wings where they're going to bring some, oh, this is the overlooked song that was written by, you know, old Bessie, you know, back in 1840.
Who knows?
I like it.
Whatever the case, it's going to be something like that.
Do you remember...
We'll keep it in the book because you've made your case.
If you have updates along the way and we find something, we'd love to hear more.
Do you remember the whole concept of reverse speech where people say things but then in an alternative dimension at the same time the reverse of what they're saying contains speech as well or some would say hidden messages?
Yeah, of course.
That's how we'll play the record backwards.
Right.
Which you can't do with a CD. Well, our favorite example, of course, was President Obama.
This is from 2008.
When, you know, with the crowd, yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can.
And when you play yes, we can backwards, you get...
Thank you, Satan.
You get thank you, Satan.
Yes.
And that's very, it's clear you can hear it.
Thank you, Satan.
Thank you, Satan.
Yeah, definitely.
So there is a professor who specializes in this about reverse speech.
And he has an entire website about this.
His name is John Oates.
He's from Australia.
And let me just tell you the theory of reverse speech because I have a couple of examples that he has made.
And I think they're interesting to listen to.
Human speech has two distinctive yet complementary functions and modes.
The overt mode is spoken forwards and is primarily under conscious control.
The covert mode is spoken backward and is not under conscious control.
The backward mode of speech occurs simultaneously with the forward mode and is a reversal of the forward speech sounds.
These two modes of speech, forward and backward, are dependent upon each other and form an integral part of human communication.
One mode cannot be fully understood without the other mode.
In the dynamics of interpersonal communication, both modes of speech combined communicate the total psyche of the person, conscious as well as unconscious.
Covert, the final point, covert speech develops before overt speech.
Children speak backwards before they do forwards.
Then as forward speech commences, the two modes of speech gradually combine into one, forming an overall bi-level communications process.
You're not buying it, I don't think.
Well, I would go along with it until I got to the part where the kids speak backwards before they speak forwards.
That was a stretch.
Babbling.
He has done an analysis of several...
Well, the one I like the most is the Democratic National Convention with Hillary Clinton, the Republican National Convention with Trump, and there's a couple other in there if you're interested.
So what he's done, I have this audio file.
Of course I'm interested.
I thought you would be.
I have these audio files, and what you'll hear is the sentence is usually a short sentence, and then the last words, there'll be a little pause, then the last words will reverse, and then it'll spin it down in three different sections so you can hear what the word is.
I'm not going to say what the reverse speech is.
I'd like you to be able to hear it.
Otherwise, I think it's complete confirmation bias, obviously, like the trick you played on me.
Okay, so let's start with Hillary, and you tell me if you can understand the reverse speech.
What happened in this city 240 years ago still has something to teach us today.
Now we're going to reverse it.
Peterson.
Peterson.
Hear this sin.
Now, were you able to hear that?
Were you able to...
Eat a sin?
Now, hear this sin.
Hear this sin.
Okay, well, I didn't hear that.
I heard eat a sin.
Okay.
Here we go.
Let's try this one.
That kept me working as hard as I could in the...
I'm sorry, not that one.
This one.
Here we go, this one.
I'm happy for boys and men, because when any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone.
Well, to reverse it.
Man is law free.
What'd you hear?
That's long and furry.
Then it's all free, is what you're supposed to hear.
Oh, then it's all free.
Yes.
So, I'm happy for boys and men, because when any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone.
And her reverse speech is, then it's all free.
Let's try this one.
I'm not liking this, because you're not getting anyone's really right.
Let's try this one.
That's how we're going to make sure this economy works for everyone, not just those at the top.
Errolfsker Wiemann office.
Could you hear it?
Girl screws him in office.
It's I'll screw in an office.
I'll screw in an office.
Yeah, at the top.
So it's kind of like a microaggression against Bill is the conclusion of that.
Oh, okay.
Let's try one more.
There we go.
You have to keep working to make things better, even when the odds are long and the opposition is fierce.
Okay, reverse.
Great Satan.
Yeah, I got that one.
I thought great Satan worked.
All right, let's go to Donald Trump now, the Republican National Convention.
And here we go.
This is a good one.
I like this one.
The Democrats, on the other hand, received 20% fewer votes than they got four years ago.
Not so good.
Not so good.
Okay, reversing.
Dude was stung.
Dude was stung.
Dude was stunned.
Did you hear it?
Something was stunned.
Yeah, dude.
Dude was stunned.
Oh, dude was stunned.
Which kind of makes sense.
The Democrats received 20% fewer votes they got four years ago.
Dude was stunned.
So he's kind of speaking the truth.
Let's try this one out here.
Our trade deficit in goods reached nearly...
Think of this.
Think of this.
Our trade deficit is $800 billion.
Think of that.
Okay, reversing.
They lynch you.
What'd you hear?
They lynch you.
Yeah, you got it.
They'll lynch you.
Exactly.
They'll lynch you.
Here's another one.
Illegally stores their emails on a private server.
Deletes 33,000 of them.
At reverse?
Steal it.
Steal it.
What did you hear?
Spielman.
Steal it.
Steal it.
Oh.
Alright, last one then.
It is time to show the whole world that America is back.
Alright, reverse.
I will haunt bullshit.
I will haunt bullshit.
Oh, our war hard.
Oh, shit.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I wish you could...
I guess it's not all that great.
I thought it would be better.
It's a stretch, to say the least.
Hmm.
Well, then Bernie Sanders, maybe, maybe there's something good there.
Hillary Clinton is far and away the best candidate to do that.
All right.
See you next year.
See you next year.
Satan milks you.
Did you hear it?
Satan milks you.
Yes.
Satan milks you.
And that was the whole theme of anything Bernie Sanders was saying.
Like the last one.
Hillary Clinton is listening to the scientists who tell us that if we do not act boldly in the very near future, there will be more drought, more floods.
And reversing it.
I'm sure you got that one.
Something about Satan, but I don't know.
She's here to sell Satan.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that makes nothing but sense to me.
I thought it would be better.
I guess it is bullcrap, I guess.
It is bullcrap, but it's funny.
Yeah, well, you didn't get that many right.
I thought they were a little easier to hear.
No.
I think I got one maybe right.
Well, I guess I'll give it to myself then.
That clip sucked!
But it wasn't really a clip.
It was worse.
It was a segment.
It was a whole package.
A whole package of suckers sucked.
I really tried.
It can't all be gems.
It was the second half of show thing that, you know, I think your heart was in the right place.
Thank you.
With Satan!
With Satan!
All right, well, let me see if I can redeem myself.
Switch some topics here.
Oh, I do have a climate change clip.
We haven't had a climate change in a way.
Maybe we should open up the gate for a second.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
Yes.
Yeah, this could actually almost be a two-parter.
This is up in your neck of the woods, KQED. Is that not your public television station up there?
All right.
Well, they had some salient words on Syria and the history of what happened and how that went down.
The rise of ISIS has been shown through a couple of scientific papers to be fairly closely tied to a five-year drought that happened in Syria that was really linked to climate change.
Woo!
I think you're forgetting the fact that Hillary Clinton was responsible for ISIS, according to Donald Trump.
There actually is no drought in California, according to one of these candidates.
Right.
And while the politicians are talking about this, the Department of Defense, in their quadrennical defense update, looks at all of these issues and projects more problems with migration, more political stress like we're seeing in the European Union because of that, driven by climate change and driven by desertification, drought, or sea level rise.
There you go.
That's what creates the wars.
It's just the climate.
Yeah.
Just the climate doing its business.
Although on this day in 1913, September 4th, 1913, Texas had 108 degrees.
Right now we're looking at 87 degrees in downtown Austin.
Well, that's obviously global cooling.
Now this brought me to an interesting little ditty of Bill Clinton.
So you're still on climate, I hope?
I'm on Syria, actually.
Oh, because I did have a climate.
Oh, well, do you...
Okay.
Okay.
Well, they kind of went together because...
You opened the gate.
I know.
I'm keeping the gate open.
Bring on your climate.
So we're watching PBS and there's a guy that comes on because there's little hurricanes floating around the coast.
Tropical storm.
Which is a category one.
No, they call it category one at least.
Oh, I thought it...
Which is meaningless.
It's not a major one.
And so they have this new guy on the news hour.
He's not going to be there long if he keeps doing stuff like this.
Yeah.
This is hurricanes.
It doesn't say one, but it just says hurricanes.
With Hermine heading up the east coast of the U.S., we take a closer look at the science and frequency of these hurricanes.
William Brangham is back with more.
Hurricane Hermine is the first major hurricane to hit the United States in 10 years.
Sandy, which did tremendous damage in 2012, wasn't a hurricane when it came ashore.
So why such a long period of time since the last major hurricane?
Yeah!
To help answer that, I'm joined by Sean Sublette.
He's a meteorologist with the research group Climate Central.
So, Sean, just take on this question.
Not that anyone is really complaining about this, but why have we gone 10 years since the last major storm hit this U.S.? We really have been lucky at this point.
Weather patterns change from year to year, and the Atlantic Basin has been active over the past decade or so, but the steering winds at any given time have largely directed the major hurricanes away from the continental United States.
Now, to remember, a major hurricane, by definition, is a Category 3 or greater storm.
A three, four, or five.
Ermin was a category one storm, and like Sandy, certainly doing a lot of flood damage, but did not really attain what we technically define as a major hurricane.
One of the things I know is that a lot of the climate models initially had predicted that if the temperature globally goes up, which it has, and oceans have got warmer, which they also have, that we would see more of these storms and a greater frequency of this storm.
So are these models somehow contradicted by this last decade?
Not necessarily.
I think what most have begun to indicate really, if you go back to the most recent IPCC analysis or the consolidation of the research, is that they're not necessarily going to become more frequent, but there is going to be the tendency, or at least likelihood, that the ones that do form are going to have more intense rain and very likely stronger winds.
So that's the ones that do manage to develop will likely be stronger.
And the fact that sea level has continued to rise, as a lot of the polar regions have seen the glacial ice melt, that will compound any kind of storm surge flooding that comes from hurricanes.
In other words, they're changing the story already.
Yeah, first of all, we're going to have the worst hurricanes ever.
We can pull old clips, oh, there's going to be more of them, and they're going to be coming all the time, this is going to be routine.
And they went on and on.
Now, we have this part, too.
The guy still kind of hounds this guy a little bit because he's saying, well, these models, this is not what we're told.
And then he comes up with a cock and bull story.
So this last 10 years and the models that you're describing, they don't really help us understand what the next 10 years could look like for the U.S. Yeah, for the very short term, there is not an awful lot of skill with those particular batches of climate models.
The shorter term is really kind of that area that most of the work needs to be done.
But we do look for the longer term trends when we think about climate change.
So in other words, just to summarize, the short term models, like predicting what's going to happen tomorrow or the next day, you can't do that, but you can predict.
A hundred years from now.
Of course!
It's science!
Would you be quiet?
So that makes nothing but sense.
That's not cognitive dissonance.
I don't know what is.
That's exactly what it is.
Well, the New York Times had a big article yesterday.
Headline, flooding of coast caused by global warming has already begun.
And then underneath that, scientists warning that the rise of the sea would eventually imperil the United States coastline are no longer theoretical.
And it goes on to talk about the cost of Of course, we know that the global warming, this whole Paris Agreement, IPCC, the African nations mainly want money.
But that's not the only people who want money.
Florida wants money.
They've got a $400 million plan that includes raising streets, installing pumps, elevating seawalls.
And I think everyone gets a wetsuit.
I'm not sure.
But you could certainly throw in a couple hundred million for that.
So the reason why this continues to be big on the agenda in the United States is also because all these states, Georgia is now doing as well, they want money from the federal government.
And yeah, there's problems with water.
You know, Tina lived in Florida for a long time.
And so whenever there's a storm or a possible hurricane, she's always interested, watches the story.
She says, you know, it's really not the storm.
The storm is really not the problem.
I said, well, what?
Isn't it scary?
She said, yeah, you know, the wind's howling.
It's nasty.
But it's the weeks after the storm when power's cut off.
Your food is rotten in the fridge.
You can't get gas.
Your house smells like a damp Petri dish.
See, that's the horrible part of these storms.
I think you did a wonderful job with all the descriptions until you got to damp Petri dish.
It should have been a wet dog.
I think that was my interpretation.
I don't think she actually said that.
She said wet damp something.
I can't remember what it was.
I think I like wet dog.
No, wet dog is good.
Wet dogs are good?
Wet dogs, that smells nasty.
I agree.
Wet dog.
Or monkeys.
Yeah.
Okay, can I get back to Bill now?
I mean, to the Syrian?
Yes, I'm sorry.
But you've got to close the climate gate then.
Of course.
Close the gate, everybody.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
All right.
All right, I'll set it up, everybody.
You can set it up.
All right, birds, including in the camera.
Three, two, one, and cue Adam.
Okay.
I'm always looking to see how the...
Now, of course, since I've been following Charles Ortel, I'm always looking to see what the Clinton foundations are doing, because there's more than one.
Bill's on stage here at one of the gatherings, and he's talking about Syrians.
Now, we know that Donald Trump has told us many, many times that Hillary Clinton wants to bring in 500% more Syrians.
It's always Syrians.
More Syrian refugees, we don't know anything about them, blah, blah, blah.
And indeed, on the books, there is a plan to bring in a significant amount of Syrian refugees.
So Bill's talking.
You always got to wonder, you know, are there connections?
Well, I think there's a connection to be made between the Syrian refugees that, and I don't know, was she responsible for that policy?
I guess she was.
That's her initial policy.
Carrie is continuing it, I presume.
Yes, I think so.
It's the Kagan's policy, and she carries it out.
Right.
So Bill is on stage talking about the Syrians, and he has a little factoids in here that I didn't realize.
And as I heard this, I thought, well, it sounds like maybe there was a little deal going on there with some things.
Tell me about Detroit.
Detroit went into bankruptcy.
I know, didn't J.P. Morgan Chase come in and invest and a whole bunch of other...
I don't know any of this that you're saying.
We talked about it on the show.
I don't know about J.P. Morgan coming in.
I know people have invested in different kinds of crazy things, but it's still vague to me what's going on in Detroit.
So Detroit was pretty much rebelized.
I mean, really, not without bombs, but, you know, their houses...
Yeah, a new, different version of rebelizing.
And it has to be built up again.
So I would presume that there are commercial companies who are in there, and they...
They're starting with the downtown, which they are building up, and they're moving their way slowly up the streets.
So there's money to be had in the rebuilding of Detroit.
Right?
I would think so.
It would seem like...
If it was a bigger enough project.
I don't think there's money to be had if you want to go buy a cheap house.
No, no, no.
If you're in the construction...
If you're a contractor, sure.
Economic hitmen in the U.S. How about that?
Okay.
Detroit, whether we were responsible, whether someone brought it down or whatever happened, Detroit, Rubble Eyes, going to bring it back up.
We bring in our guys who are going to rebuild.
You'd think maybe there was a connection with the Clintons.
I may have found one.
The truth is, the big loser in this over the long run is going to be Syria.
This is an enormous opportunity for Americans.
Detroit has 10,000 empty, structurally sound houses, and a lot of jobs to be had repairing those houses.
But Detroit just came out of bankruptcy, and the mayor's trying to do an innovative sort of urban homesteading And I think any of us who've ever had any personal experience with either Syrian Americans or Syrian refugees think it's a pretty good deal.
I know what caused all the fear and reluctance.
It was Paris, because 6,000 people went from Europe to ISIS land.
I love that Bill has made up a whole country.
ISIS land.
ISIS land.
I went to ISIS land.
That's really an a-hole way of saying it, actually.
It's kind of rude.
Oh, yeah, totally.
Yeah, like, I went to ISIS land, you know, Syria, Libya, whatever the...
ISIS land.
People went from Europe to ISIS land.
About 1,500 came home.
If 1% of them was radicalized and sort of sneaked back in with evil intentions, that's about how many people it took to kill all those people in Paris.
So people are thinking like that.
But the tradition of the Syrians is amazing in America.
Most Syrians live or the largest Syrian settlements are in Cleveland and Dearborn, Michigan.
Is it by any means thinkable that there is a huge community in Dearborn, Michigan, that they are great workers?
Anyone who knows the Syrians know they're hard workers.
They're great workers.
They're great.
They may even be great builders.
So it's really sad that we can't bring them in.
I'm thinking there was some, you know, do you see the connection?
Yeah, there's a connection of some sort.
Somebody did a deal with someone, or I don't know what the connection would be, but there's definitely something to miss.
I'm a builder.
I need lots of cheap labor.
Hey, Bill.
Cheap labor.
Hey, Bill, you got anything?
You know, the Assyrians are really good.
Can you get me another gross Assyrians, please?
I need some masonry work done.
Okay, hold on.
I'll talk to Hill.
Hill, can you up the immigrants?
Yeah, no problem.
Well, that's funny because there was mention specifically in one of the news reports that they want to move these new Syrians that Hillary wants to bring in to Detroit.
Really?
Yeah, it was a direct comment.
It wasn't like, now you're beating around the bush.
I didn't know.
But I actually heard that they're going to put these Syrians in Detroit.
So what you're supposing is already underway.
It's already underway.
So then, of course, the question is, who's building in Detroit?
I don't have the answer, but I'm going to go look at that now.
And are there connections, maybe donations to the Clinton Foundation?
It would be a direct correlation to policy.
It wouldn't take much to figure it out.
But yeah, you're definitely right.
Yeah, that's what they're going to do.
A bunch of Syrians.
I thought when they were going to do it, I didn't have it from that angle, but that's why I didn't make the clip.
But when I heard it, I said, oh, they're just trying to load up Michigan so it votes Democrat.
I just thought of it as a political thing.
I didn't think of it as a more sinister thing.
No, you're right.
You got it.
You nailed it.
Exactly what's going on.
You're going to move a bunch of Syrians in to make sure.
Is this guy a carpenter?
Can you pound a nail?
No, I'm a doctor.
Perfect.
No, perfect.
I just don't know.
There's got to be a nail pounder.
I used to be an architect.
You're in.
Sounds right.
Detroit will be taken over by Syrians.
Now the food will improve, let's put it that way.
I want to find out what company is using Syrians in Detroit.
Also, Detroit, if you go there, I recommend everybody go there while the Packard plant is still up.
Go there.
Hipsters.
No reason to go.
Hipsters and Syrians.
No reason to go.
I'm sorry.
Go on.
What were you saying?
Let's see.
Well, we can go a couple of different ways.
We can go to Euroland.
Well, I can go.
Before we do this, since you're bringing this up, the Syrian thing, I ran into...
I was watching a little RT, and I ran into this guy.
Let's see if I have his name here somewhere.
I have his name.
I'll dig it up.
He...
Dr.
Scott...
Atran.
Scott Atran.
Anyway, he was on Sophie.
I usually don't watch Sophie.
What's Sophie?
I don't know what Sophie is.
Sophie is this talk show with this woman, Sophie.
Oh, it's on RT. It's on RT, and Sophie's yakking her way at somebody.
This is the first time I've heard anything like this, and I thought about it, and I said, wait a minute, this guy might be on to something.
We have to consider this as a possibility.
We're not considering it.
I'm not considering it.
You're not considering it.
I don't think the news media is considering it, but it's possible that What this guy says is true.
I don't know which clip to play, sadly.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm scanning.
ISIS is real.
Ah, okay, yeah, I couldn't derive that.
Here we go.
They just didn't want their heads taken off, and so they ran away.
So you had 350 ISIS soldiers drive away 18,000 Iraqis within a matter of a few hours.
But, you know, you would think that these horrors, they would actually repulse people, no?
But they help them gain supporters.
I mean, for me, looking at it, I can't even look at it.
I have to close my eyes.
How does this work the other way around?
I still don't understand it.
Basically what I'm asking is, is ISIS appealing to sick and disturbed people more than normal people?
No, it appeals to people who span the normal distribution.
I mean, it's like any revolutionary movement.
That's why I think even calling it terrorism or just extremism is beyond the pale.
From an evolutionary perspective, everything that is new is extreme.
And it's very much like the French Revolution or even the Bolshevik Revolution or the National Socialist Revolution.
I mean, look at the French Revolution.
They were eating one another, just like Nusra and ISIS and the other groups are eating one another like bloody sharks.
And they were invaded by a coalition of the great powers.
And yet not only did they survive, but they endured.
And they introduced the notion of terror itself as an extreme measure, as they called it, for the preservation of democracy.
And every revolution since then, every real revolution, has done pretty much the same thing and pretty much successfully.
So wait, are you saying that ISIS has a chance to be successful and actually create something viable?
I mean, if you look at the speech by Abu Bakr Baghdadi last year, the Volcanoes of Jihad speech in November, I mean, he's developing a global archipelago so that even if ISIS is driven out of Syria and Iraq, it's taking root in other places, especially in Africa.
I mean, their Bible is called the Idarat al-Tawahush, which means the management of savagery or chaos.
And their plan is to go wherever there is instability and chaos in the world to take root.
And, of course, Africa is an entire continent in chaos, much of Central Asia, and that's where they're moving in.
Okay.
Now, is the parallel here ISIS head-chopping and the French Revolution guillotine?
Well, that's what I thought about it, because this guy mentions that this is no different than the French Revolution.
Now, his mentioning Africa is also kind of interesting, because that kind of...
I think that he may be onto something there.
These guys can just, they can kind of learn their skills and then go down to Africa and kick some ass, take over the place.
That's all I need to do at some point.
But I was thinking about the head chopping thing because, oh, everybody's freaked out.
So I was interested in the French Revolution and its head chopping.
And I was...
And by the way, this is because...
Of the phenomenal support we get that we can spend our entire day on doing things like this.
I mean, sometimes we read FBI documents and come up with things no one talks about.
Sometimes we go off the reservation, and I can't wait to hear this.
So I realized that the French Revolution, based on head chopping, they chopped off everybody's head they could.
That was all the aristocrats.
And I always like to remind people out there who are in the elite category of the elites that live down in Woodside or Atherton and places like that, that you could have your head on a stick overnight if you're not careful.
And you get your head on a stick, it has to be chopped off to begin with.
And the headache, the migraine is crazy.
So the thing about the French is that they decided to chop off so many heads that they had to invent a device, a mass production device called the guillotine, to chop the heads off.
That's what got me thinking.
It was like, why would they invent this guillotine?
Because it was really cool looking when this thing came down?
Wait, that's the history of it?
It was actually automation?
I'm thinking that because when you look into it, how many people do you think had their head chopped off in France during the revolution?
Oh, um...
I'm going to think it wasn't as many as we thought it was, but now that you mentioned that they needed a device to automate the business of it, I was going to say maybe, okay, I'll go crazy and say 500, but it's got to be much more.
Okay, how many?
Between 15 and 40,000 people had their heads chopped off in France.
Wow, and all we ever hear about is Marie Antoinette.
Yeah, well, they took her head off, too, and they held it up, and everyone yelled, yay.
They went...
They went around the place and found every aristocrat they could.
And I'm sure they mistook a lot of people.
I'm sure a lot of people.
And he'd get his head chopped off.
If you think about the guillotine, why it exists, it was because they had to cut off...
Tens of thousands of heads.
And one guy with a big sword, you know, I can't do this anymore.
I've already cut off 20 heads.
It's hurting my arm.
So they invented the guillotine and they chopped heads like they went nuts.
Nobody wants to talk about it.
Well, no, it's not.
I don't think anyone has taken the time to go look that up.
I love you for that, man.
That's great.
Well, why don't we introduce this?
I mean, wouldn't it be cool if ISIS started using something similar?
The guillotine?
Yeah, at least people would understand it better.
Well, maybe they understand something.
I don't know.
We're not going to get anywhere close to what you just heard right now on the network news.
Let's put it that way.
No one's going to talk about, you know, 40, potentially 40,000, which is probably a low number.
I mean, forget even that.
The fact, I didn't know that the guillotine was invented because they had so many heads to chop off.
That's a learning moment.
Well, it's only logical.
Why else would you invent such a device?
Yeah, I never stood still.
Never thought about it.
Next!
Nice!
We need a guillotine sound.
Don't I have a guillotine sound?
Sound effect?
No, I don't.
I need one.
I need a guillotine sound effect.
Yeah, and then the head falls in the basket.
Which is the origin of going to hell in a handbasket.
Yeah.
Because you're going to hell with your head in a handbasket.
I think only a few of the heads were kept in the back.
I think a lot of them just went down and rolled around.
I mean, they're whacking heads.
I mean, I feel sorry for, I mean, this is a panicked population.
If you were a member of the French aristocracy, you had to be freaked out.
Yeah, I don't want to be in a head chopping machine.
You know, they just grab you and you're screwed.
You're going to have your head chopped off.
Anyway.
There's trouble in YouTube land.
People are crying.
They're unhappy.
There's this crap going on, and it kind of flows into what we just said and how we're moving on.
There's stuff you won't hear on network news.
And we know this following term very well.
YouTube, which of course is Google, is warning people, and some of them are very prominent YouTubers, making actual money with advertising that, oh, we're sorry.
Yeah, this episode you produced, this video, is not brand-friendly.
Or advertiser friendly?
Or advertiser safe?
And therefore...
Brand safe.
Brand safe.
I think brand safe is what we always use.
And therefore, you will not be able to monetize on this video.
It's been flagged as such.
And this has created quite a problem.
And I just wanted to play a little bit so you can hear it.
This is Philip DeFranco.
He's one of these YouTuber kids who's making a lot of money.
I think he's doing over hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Some of these people make real money.
And here he is with his most recent one.
What's up, you beautiful bastards?
Hope you're having a fantastic Wednesday.
Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show, and let's just jump into it.
And guys, the first thing today is, I don't think that I can call you beautiful bastards anymore, because apparently that and several other things I do are not, quote, advertiser-friendly.
I had heard murmurings, I had heard a few YouTubers talking about it, but we personally got hit with it yesterday.
Yesterday's video and most likely many in the near future will not be monetizable here on YouTube.
Based off of this update, it appears it's because I use what they call excessively strong language.
And they're explaining they're doing it because they're just following terms of service.
That YouTube reserves the right to turn off monetization if a video doesn't follow our guidelines.
Which it appears my dirty, filthy, horrible mouth does not.
And the thing is, I will say, I love YouTube.
Obviously, it looks like they're well within their rights to do this.
It's their damn website.
It is also incredibly fucking concerning.
Many times on my show, I have talked about things that aren't great, just horrible things.
By taking away monetization, it is a form of censorship.
Taking away the ability to monetize a video where you're saying things that they don't deem okay.
That's been described as censorship with a different name because if you do this on the regular and you have no advertising, it's not sustainable.
But, like I said, YouTube is, of course, well within their rights here.
What really bugs me about this is this was either a purposeful move that they did not give creators a heads up on because I've seen a ton of people complaining on it, or they're just asleep at the wheel.
It is also a little bit concerning to me because yesterday's video, really the only things that were not advertiser friendly, not really much anything I said, but the stories I was talking about.
Hold on a second.
Can you stop for a second?
Yeah, it's almost over, but yeah.
Is this guy...
Is this two people?
No, he's doing one of those kind of like...
I hate that!
Me too.
I mean, this guy should be demonetized just for that.
I like that.
Demonetized.
Yeah.
It has demonized in it, demonetized.
It sounds like he's two people the way he's cutting it back and forth.
Yeah.
But I mean, he's just cutting pieces out of it.
I hate that.
It sounds terrible and it looks terrible when you see it.
Yeah, it's the old Z Frank used to do that.
And he kind of had a vibe with it.
And this guy's doing it.
And apparently it's working very well.
I thought it was two guys that sounded identical, which is another complaint I would have had, but okay, let me finish up.
Is video really the only things that were not advertiser friendly?
Not really much anything I said, but the stories I was talking about.
We had the video of that social justice warrior screaming at her Lyft driver being incredibly rude.
All right, so mainly because of the Lyft millennial, and I re-edited that for us, I'll play that later on.
Oh, finally.
Yeah.
But...
This is my entire point.
We talk about the guillotine.
We would be demonetized in a heartbeat for this stuff.
In a heartbeat.
And now you've got these big, successful people bringing in money, of course, inconsequential in the world of Google or Alphabet, ultimately.
But for these people, even though they're annoying, they're making money, and now the rug is being yanked from under them.
And this is only the beginning.
And this is why, of course, we adhere to the only model that works.
If you want some real information, it's the value-for-value model.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda In the morning We do have a few people to thank for contributing to show 857.
Starting off with $135.79 from an anonymous dude named Ben from Parts Unknown.
He sent a check-in.
He said, I'm anonymous, dude named Ben.
Thank you very much.

He wants a de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
Good idea.
Cut him out.
Uh, Matthew Hertert in Bowlesburg, Pennsylvania, 104.
Mark Hall.
Hold on, we might as well do it.
Hey, I'm a douchebag, Matthew says.
I realize I never gave John anything for his 52nd birthday either.
So here's 104 for you to split.
Oh, very cute.
Uh...
Here's your buddy here in Austin.
No.
104.
John Robinet, $100 Parts Unknown.

Cheryl Scarry, or Scar, or Scare, 5252, which could have been the donation number.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, it could have been.
I didn't know what it was.
Sir Herb Lamb in Sugar Hill, Georgia, 5233.
He says happy birthday.
Baron Fudge Fountain, KBTIY. K8. Kilo 8, Tango, India, Yankee.
Now he says happy birthday, Adam, plus half a boob.
Now play my jingle.
He did send the jingle.
But since we don't have boob donations, I think I should play it.
He sent us a new one, a new one.
Yeah, we didn't get any boob donations today.
It's cute.
I like that one too.
It's good.
Now we need some boob donations.
There was none.
It's funny because I had a boob on there.
I know.

Read it properly.
Oh, I'm sorry.
To the man who knows how to empty...
No, you're not reading it right.
To the man that knows how an empty box meeting changes lives.
Who knows how to tightly wrap a blanket.

That might have made it.
Hey, I am humbled.
Thank you all so much.
That's very kind.
It's really, that's, yeah, I'm just, I'm almost a loss of words, I have to say.
I really appreciate that.
It's very kind of everybody.
And of course, everyone who helped us, including those coming in under $50, usually for reasons of anonymity, but also we have subscriptions, lots of them.
We'd like you to Jump into that as well.
And remember, we do have a show coming up again on Thursday.
This is the Value for Value model.

Dvorak.org slash NA.
It's your birthday, birthday.
Oh, no, I can't.
And we've got Nathaniel Moseman saying happy birthday to his girlfriend Dawn, who celebrates on the same day as I do, September 3rd.
And anonymous dude named Ben celebrates on the 7th.
We say happy birthday in advance to him.
And Fernando de los Reyes says happy birthday to his son Lucas.
He turned 11 on my birthday as well, September 3rd.
Thank you all from, especially me, here at the Bed Podcast, down the universe.
It's your birthday, yeah!
Um, nice.
Very nice.
Well, I did some work for y'all.
I put together the lift clip.
Oh, yes.
I want to hear that.
Okay.
And interesting, the length is 3333.
Very good.
3333.
It'd be funnier if it turns out to be the same.
It's six minutes again.
How is that possible?
No, I don't think that would be that funny.
That was one of my more embarrassing moments.
Hardly.
Setting it up, this is a woman, young lady, young lady, millennial, who, Ben, I need to say that, because this all came on the heels of Tina and my experience with this woman who thought it was really crazy about her, the height difference and her insecurities about it, which on the No Agenda Reddit, they're like, oh, that's bullshit, that didn't happen, you know, he's lying.
It's like, what?
Okay, so that did happen to me.
And we went through that story.
If you want to hear it, you can go back an episode and listen to it.
I love that.
See, I don't bother with this story.
With the Reddit?
No, I wouldn't read that.
Oh, I know.
Of course, I scan all of that stuff.
Yeah, I know you do.
That's your beat.
It's my beat.
It's my beat.
Often good links, but often just like, wow.
Okay.
And she, of course, is always looking for something to be offended by, because that's what it seems to be these days.
And the guy has a little Hawaiian bobblehead doll with the grass skirt and the ukulele on his dashboard, which he put on with superglue.
And she is opening this discussion with him, saying, you know, this is horrible for the people of Hawaii, which she calls the continent of Hawaii, the raping and pillaging of Hawaii.
And then it just degrades from there until he finally just kicks her out of the car.
And good for him.
Do not have.
That was adorable.
You didn't think about, like, the pillaging of the, like, continent of Hawaii.
Oh, you didn't?
Okay, so you won't get rid of the doll then?
Because that was, like, a really cute thing that you found at Goodwill.
But, so, obviously, like, you as, like, a white male, you were, like, the least, like, No, I'm not.
I'm not judging you.
I'm just saying that perhaps you might be the person who is least hurt in this situation.
I'm a passenger in your car.
That doll is offensive to me.
But you don't want to take it down because you found it at Goodwill and it was such a good find.
Yeah, no, I do want you to because it's actually deeply offensive.
No, I do want you to take it down.
I'm going to do worse than give you a one star.
No, I would like you to take me to my destination.
You're going to be on Gawker.
No, you will be.
Published on Gawker.
And it'll be like the next internet meme.
It's gonna be super funny.
Yeah.
I mean, like, God forbid, like, anyone take your special Hawaiian doll away from you.
Um, because it's a thing that actually affects my life and a thing that doesn't affect your life.
It's actually super relevant.
Really?
Yeah, so which part of it is not irrelevant?
It's not sad.
It's important.
Did you say it was pathetic?
Can I have your name, please?
That's a disrespectful object that you have in your car, and whether you're Asian or not, you should be considerate to the fact that you might have passengers that don't find that thing to be.
No, I just said, like, you can set it down for a second.
It might be not amusing to all passengers.
You're going to experience this again, by the way.
And so I hope that from this lesson, like, today...
You're being rude, actually.
No, I'm not being rude.
Oh, because I wasn't nice enough to you?
I've been pleasant to you...
I wasn't nice enough to you for this thing.
As this ends, it ends in the same way that my experience ended, where they try to guilt you, guilt you, guilt you, and then say, oh, you're deflecting if you say anything else.
And at the end, they wind up calling you names.
It's really an odd illness.
That's fine.
I've been video recording the entire time.
I did.
That's cool.
No, you're not.
You have been actually very rude and extremely entitled.
Yeah, I'm sorry that you have no consideration for actual Hawaiian people who don't want to be a bobblehead item in your car while you're driving for Lyfts.
You f***ing selfish, dumbass idiot.
Yeah, that name-calling thing at the end is really strange.
This is what you see with the Hillary Trump thing going on.
They call out Trump for the racist comments, supposed racist comments, where he says the Mexicans are rapists, some of them.
And...
But then they start calling him a moron, a clown, an idiot, a fool.
In fact, Greenwald did the same thing.
Yeah.
Had these same terms.
It was a guy's a clown, a moron, an idiot.
And then they make, you know, these pinatas out of him and pound him with baseball bats.
So it's like another 40 seconds.
So she keeps this up.
And then he's like, no, I'm going to let you out now.
You really have to get out of my car.
You are being rude.
You have no connection to this culture.
You know what that is?
That's a cute little bubble item that you had in your car that you don't know anything about and you're an idiot.
Thank you very much for your opinion.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Maybe you will think about it tomorrow when you wake up in the morning.
You can take me all the way to my house.
Actually, you don't have to.
It's my car.
I'm not confirming the drop-off.
Here's the sidewalk.
Have a wonderful night.
Thank you.
Yep.
I'm so excited.
Can I have your name again?
Nope.
Have a great night.
Yes, I can.
Can I have your name again?
Well, I'll just stay here then.
Well, then...
Oh, my God.
This is my car.
Can you please get out of here?
No, I won't.
Call the police.
Call 911.
Okay.
About how I won't leave your car.
I wish you would.
Can you please...
No, I can, but you can give me your first and last name.
Here.
Here's what I'll do instead.
Holy . - The weirdest night of my entire life.
And he could not get away fast enough so that I couldn't get his license plate number.
How cute.
Oh my goodness.
We're doomed.
And people have read, Klan, that you didn't have that experience.
You made it up.
Yeah.
It's obvious it's going on all over the place by this woman.
Yeah.
And it seems to be looking for something that could be a violation, bringing it up, them drawing someone into your appropriating culture, you're insensitive, you have no right, throw in there, you know, you're a white man, even though the guy was Asian, you're a white man, so none of this bothers you, but...
And that's...
I didn't get the white man thing, but I got a lot of other things, and it ends in the name-calling, you're a dick, you're whatever...
It's an odd thing.
And you didn't do anything.
Calmly minding your own business.
Yeah, no, you recall that I was walking behind her, and then Tina and I were walking behind her, and then all of a sudden she moved right over into our path, blocking us.
Blocking us.
And then we tried to pass her on the left, and she moves over to the left.
And then she engaged, saying, well, you know, lots of people have insecurities about their height.
Oh, I don't.
It's kind of annoying.
I bump my head a lot.
Then it just kept on going and going until she winds up insulting Tina.
Saying, well, you know, you're pretentious.
And I look at her and say, excuse me?
And then, you're a dick!
Oh, man.
You're a dick.
It's the oddest, oddest thing.
Yeah, it is very odd.
But we're on the lookout for more of it.
Something that's in the food.
Well, did this really start with the Noodle Boy?
I mean, that was our earliest detection of something going vastly awry with our young people.
I don't know when it started or how it started or what...
Because the real movement really began in the universities.
And talk about, what is it, they said white man's, your white privilege.
White privilege.
Yeah, but it's more than that.
It started with mansplaining and a lot of that, misogyny.
Yeah, a lot of insulting stuff, a lot of insults.
Yeah.
White privilege.
Yeah.
What is it when you have...
I can't think of this word.
When you have your Social Security and you get your money, it's called a...
This is an interesting question.
How many syllables?
Movie?
Book?
What is it?
It's about five syllables, or four.
About four syllables, and it means you get something for nothing.
Entitlement?
Yes, entitlement.
Jeez.
Wow.
Okay.
Yeah, but you're right.
It's an entitlement.
They throw entitlement at you.
But they're the ones that feel entitled to do that.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So there, of course, this is again projecting.
You take something that you're the one that's entitled and then you throw it at somebody else as a condemnation.
but their entitlement, it seems to come from the rate, the way they're raised the whole generation, because they were raised by the logic baby boomers and, and mostly baby boomers, probably a few X gens.
Yeah.
And they were, they're the ones that went through the thickest part of the self, not self-improvement, but the self-actualization crap.
The when you have a good feeling about yourself, you have to be really another word I'm looking for.
Self-affirmation.
No, no.
It's when you don't say anything bad.
Nobody has competition.
There's no competition.
Just hold hands and tell a secret.
Nobody wins.
Nobody loses.
You can't compete.
This sort of thing, which is self-esteem.
I know what you're talking about.
There's no winning.
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot.
Now everyone hug and share a secret.
Right.
It's the self-esteem movement.
You're right.
I think the self-esteem movement combined with the other stuff has created these monsters.
Well, maybe we should play the new...
They go into society.
I'm trying to develop this.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm with you.
They go into society and they see that the reality is not what they were...
Told.
Taught to be what they were told it was going to be like.
And it's unfair.
And so because of the self-esteem thing, they lash out at it.
And they lashed out at you because the little girl didn't know that there were going to be tall people out there.
And she'd have to walk around them and all the rest of it.
I don't know.
I'm just saying there's something amiss.
Well, let's follow this through.
So we know kind of now what to identify.
We know the words to identify.
You know, hey, you know, whitey.
Although that doesn't even have to be in there.
But it'll probably always be against the man.
Certainly what we're seeing now.
There is, you know, the entitlement.
You're entitled.
What's the other word?
Self-esteem.
Self-esteem.
Now, what we need to develop for our producers is how to engage these people to have the maximum fun.
See, I'm thinking, when I first heard that clip that you're playing, that I would use your approach.
You do it with guys in the corner holding the petition.
Yes.
Would you like to save the children?
No, I hate children.
Thank you.
Yes.
Stuff like that.
I did that with the whales guy.
I said, save the whales.
I said, I hate whales.
Yeah, nuked the gay whales.
And the guy cracked up.
Yeah, nuked the gay whales.
Oh, really?
Yeah, he cracked up.
He's like, oh, that's very funny.
They're all afraid of me now here in Austin because I'm on to them.
It's the same group.
It's the, you know, what is it?
Texas grassroots foundation.
It's just a local foundation.
And what they do is they give kids a plastified data sheet.
They give them an iPad so they can sign people up.
And the data sheet has all the information, the talking points.
They give them a T-shirt, which they put on over their existing T-shirt.
So I'll slip on a Save the Children T-shirt or it's the ACLU T-shirt.
And they say, oh, ACLU, this is what we're doing.
And I always say, do you work for ACLU? Yeah.
No, I mean, do you get paid by ACLU? Well, all the money goes to ACLU. Are you paid, are you employed by ACLU? Well, no, we're collecting money and we give it to ACLU. They say, when you work for ACLU directly, and the t-shirt that comes in your size, I'll talk to you.
They do kind of start to cry a little bit.
Oh!
Yeah, I'm such a meanie.
I'm a meanie.
I'm a meanie.
Mean whitey.
Now, what do we do?
One thing would be to say, why don't you just cut straight to the Jason call me a dick right away so we can get over it so I don't have to waste five minutes of my time?
But I don't think that's maximum fun.
No, that's no good.
I'm not sure what to do, but I think we should...
I don't know.
I would just throw some hand signs at them as though you can't hear.
I'll pretend I'm deaf.
How about that?
Hello?
We should all learn how to sign anyway.
Everyone should do that.
It's a good little hobby.
Did I drop dead?
Yeah, you did.
Did I drop dead?
Yeah, I got the gist.
We should all learn how to sign?
Yeah, I think so.
Sign language is not easy to learn.
No, there's actually two or three different versions of it too.
So you have to learn the one that you would want to learn.
No, it's not easy, but it's not hard.
It's not like really hard because it's a simplified language.
It's like learning a foreign language.
And I think people should just know how to do it.
In this case, you could just sign at the guy and see what happens.
The point in your mouth.
Yeah, no, here's what we need.
I know we have blind listeners.
I know we have listeners who are certainly hard of hearing.
I'm sure we have signers out there.
Make a little YouTube video of something that's like, in sign language, it's basically like, go pound sand, or something really rude in sign language, I'm sure.
Something rude.
Yeah, and that would be our little personal joke.
That would be very funny.
That would be cool.
Just a little bit, just like one sentence that's just insulting as hell.
Yeah.
Do you want to play the Noodles Boy, just so we can remember?
Because it doesn't really fit in the end-of-show sequence.
Okay, play it now, and then we can do a couple more clips and wrap.
So this was from...
When did we first get this Noodle Boy thing?
This is a good five, six years ago.
I have...
Yeah, this is probably a duplicate.
Yeah, I think you're right.
It's got to be maybe four or five years ago.
It's a guy who got a job at the Noodles...
chain of restaurants which serve noodles and the early sign of the depression and he's bitching about his job.
Yeah, and about how unfair the owners are and that they really need to...
Yeah, because they make them come in at a certain hour.
Yeah, they make them start on time.
It's crazy.
They tell them to do things.
Well, like I described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society.
You either work for someone else or you work for yourself.
And most people work for someone else in a way that they aren't free.
Yeah.
You don't really get to decide your work.
For example, I work at Noodles, a restaurant, and basically it's a dictatorship there.
We're told exactly what we're going to cook, how we're going to cook it, what time we're going to get there.
And basically, if they don't like what they're doing, they try to tell us what to do if we don't listen to get rid of us.
And so we're not able to actually cooperate in a way that we make decisions together.
I try to convince my fellow employees that we should have a union as a source of power to start with.
And then I think in terms of the bigger picture, when you look at revolutions, the way that you actually get rid of any sort of dictatorship is by having workers take control of the place where they work.
Would your plan, your vision for noodles?
Would it include the owner?
What capacity would he be granted?
If the owner wanted to cooperate with us as an equal and provide his skills that he had, we would definitely cooperate with him.
We'd have to abdicate his position as being an owner and controller of us, and he would have to recognize that Yeah, the owner could join in if he wants.
I mean, we could have the owner a part of the company.
That would be okay if he wants to play ball with us.
What an idiot.
It's one of my favorites.
It is a classic.
That's why we keep playing it every so often.
Yeah, it is a classic.
I just wanted to mention, I don't have any clips of it, but in South Carolina, they're spraying for mosquitoes to get rid of Zika because, oh my God, we're all going to die from Zika.
Yeah, they killed all the bees.
Yeah!
Now, is this confirmed that all the bees are being killed by this spraying?
And what kind of morons are?
I thought the bees is one of the most precious resources we have.
Well, I don't know what they're thinking.
Somebody just made a mistake.
A lot of people are talking about this being some binary thing.
You know, you spray everyone like bugs with the first dose, and then all you need to do is roll out the last one, and then everyone's brain explodes.
That's a good one.
I got a clip.
This is a clip that nobody talks about because we have to stay with the regular narrative that Russia's hacking everything.
Of course.
But meanwhile, Guccifer's been jailed.
For 52 months or something?
Yeah, like over four years.
Now, this guy's from Romania.
He's not from Russia.
No.
And he's the one that claims to have hacked and released a deal.
He probably did.
Why would he claim it?
I did it.
Throw me in jail?
If he was denying it, he would maybe not be in jail.
Makes no sense.
Makes no sense.
So, clip.
In Virginia, the Romanian hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 has been sentenced to 52 months in prison.
In June, Guccifer claimed responsibility for hacking into the DNC's computer network.
He's thought to be the source of the 200,000 DNC emails released by WikiLeaks in July.
Hold on!
He was extradited from Romania earlier this spring and has pled guilty to identity theft and unauthorized access to a protected computer.
Wait a minute.
Was this the same woman who kept saying it was the Russians?
I don't know that she blamed the Russians so much as the other networks.
But everyone blames the Russians, so nobody's talking about this guy who says, yeah, I did it, and they threw him in jail.
He wasn't denying anything, and, you know, why would he say it?
Because it's crazy.
It's thrown in jail.
Putin did an interview with Bloomberg.
Yes, I saw that.
And he said...
Okay, a couple of questions were asked.
Of course, no clips.
I wish he...
He can speak English.
He should just do it.
My God.
Do it already, man.
You'd be great.
Russia has no links to the hacking of the Democratic Party servers.
Putin says, I don't know anything about it.
And on a state level, Russia has never done this.
He said denying the accusations that Russia had broken into the U.S. Democratic Party servers.
Is it really important who broke into the data of Mrs. Clinton's election headquarters?
Is it really important?
What's important is the content that was presented to society.
Wow.
I agree.
Yeah, of course.
Sounded pretty partisan there.
I thought this was an interesting story because nobody's talking about this, of course, but I think this is a significant story.
Yeah.
The Antonov 225.
The big-ass plane?
The big giant one, yeah.
The world's biggest plane.
China is getting its hands on the world's largest plane, which was first developed in the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
Well, the original cargo aircraft was made in modern-day Ukraine, which has now signed a deal with Beijing to restart its production together.
The agreement also lets China make its own copies of the mammoth machine.
Hong Kong-based political analyst Professor Joseph Cheng says the deal makes Kiev more economically dependent on Beijing.
All right.
So they're going to build the plane.
They've only built one or two of these things.
Oh, it seems like they've got 20 of them.
Really?
Well, they've got the smaller one.
But the big giant one with the six engines.
I think it's eight.
Isn't it eight engines?
No, no.
Six.
Oh, okay.
And I did a bunch of looking at these old planes.
There was an eight-engine plane that the Russians did build, the Tubalov.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of.
World War II is a monster.
Yeah, that's the one I'm thinking of.
The Russians build big planes, but these are the Ukrainians.
And so they built this plane, the Antonov, which also goes back in history of building big, giant planes.
So now the Chinese are doing a deal, so they're going to restart the production.
There was never a production to begin with.
They only made one or two.
And I think two, maybe.
Sounds to me like something else is going on.
Yeah, they said they're going to let them build them in China.
Yeah, the Russians are going to start, really rekindle their aviation business, and the Chiners are going to build them for them.
I don't think that's it.
I think the Chinese did it.
This is Ukrainian, by the way, not Russian.
Oh, so the Chinese are just doing it to steal the plans and build their own.
Exactly.
Gee, China copying something.
Yeah, so they're going to take the Antonov, they're going to put an Antonov assembly line in China, and they're going to learn how to build big-ass planes.
Dang.
Why don't they learn how to build Concords?
Let's bring that thing back again.
That was fun.
That would be better or something, anything different.
Okay, I just have two quickies to get out of here.
Two quickie clips.
The first one is, well, as we just, you'll hear about this.
Of course, we have Apple coming up with, this is not a tech news, but kind of.
Apple coming up this week with, I think, the announcement of their iPhone 7.
Maybe, oh, maybe a new iWatch, Apple Watch.
Woo!
Hello, Apple, everybody!
Woo!
Woo!
You deconstructed, as I was putting a little package out there, that, hey, maybe Ireland was getting a little tired of not making this much revenue from Apple, and they went to our first stag girl and said, hey, you know, anti-competition lady, could you please get us some money?
So help us collect the tax money.
That was your thesis.
I like it a lot.
There's a little kicker to that, which I didn't get the clip of.
Okay.
Which is apparently that amount of money is exactly the same as the Irish medical debt or whatever the budget for...
You're kidding me.
No, it's exactly the same amount, apparently.
Oh my goodness.
Shit, another point for you.
I'll just play this.
Here's the official word from Dublin.
The Irish government has decided to appeal against an EU ruling that it should get 13 billion euros in unpaid taxes from technology giant Apple.
Dublin is siding with the world's richest company and rejecting the huge windfall for its treasury because it says it disagrees profoundly with the EU ruling.
It fears multinational companies would leave Ireland or not move there if it's forced to change its tax and business model.
The European Commission's ordered the payment on the basis that Apple's low tax arrangements in Ireland constituted illegal state aid.
Oh, there they are.
Oh, no, no, we're going to protest this.
Yeah.
I'm still with you.
I think that is...
The only thing that makes sense.
Absolutely the right thing.
And then they're playing the old game.
Oh, no!
Oh, stop!
Stop!
I like it so much.
And then this news from France.
Of course, we've always been just amazed at the situation of the...
What do they call that camp?
The tent city at Calais on the French side of the tunnel?
Yeah.
They have a name for it.
Yeah, they do.
I can't remember the name.
The Jungle.
The Jungle, right.
Well, they're going to clear it up.
They're sick and tired of it.
I thought they already did this.
Oh, no.
Every time I turn around, they're going to clear it up.
Now they're really going to clear it up.
At least they're going to clear up the tents.
Listen to this report from Euronews.
French authorities plan to dismantle the so-called Calais jungle, a camp home to thousands of migrants fleeing war or poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
France's Minister for the Interior, Bernard Kasnev, was in Calais to announce plans to finish what was started in February when an area of the camp housing over 3,000 migrants was demolished.
By persevering and being methodical in the implementation of these measures, we will find an efficient, long-term solution for the current crisis faced by the city of Calais.
I say it very clearly that all these actions will continue until the final closure of the camp.
I hope it happens.
As swiftly as possible.
This is what awaits migrants hoping to enter the UK. The end of the line.
Tents as far as the eye can see in all directions.
Estimates put the population of the jungle at up to 9,000, even after the southern half of the camp was dismantled earlier this year.
What will become of its inhabitants is yet to be seen.
9,000 is a small city.
Yeah.
But what they're going to do with the people, they don't know.
But they're getting rid of the tents.
The French are screwed up if they can't deal with this.
Yeah.
It's like a nightmare for anyone going in and out of that channel, especially truckers.
Well, not just that.
The city of Calais, the people in the city of Calais.
Oh, the places are ruined.
It's ruined.
You know, Willow called me from Firenze, from Florence, for my birthday, and had a nice long chat with her.
And just as it comes to migrants, she told me a story.
So she had said on the face bag a couple of, like a week ago, she said, I'm off Facebook for a while, I can't stand it.
And I know that she, from what she's posted, you know, she has her thoughts about Trump being a dick, etc.
So I think maybe there was too much Hillary bashing.
I don't know.
No.
What turns out is there was the big earthquake, which they felt a little bit of.
They were far enough away from the epicenter that there wasn't much going on.
But, you know, this was quite a tragedy.
And people started to go apeshit on Facebook and Because we had these thousands of people who were suddenly homeless.
The Italian government gave them tents, you know, like temporary shelters.
And people went nuts because they're saying, we have migrants living in four-star hotels with Wi-Fi and flat screens and they get 35 euros a day and we have Italian citizens in tents.
And it was just out when people were going nuts over it.
She did deconstruct it a little bit for me because when she first heard this meme about, you know, living in four-star hotels with Wi-Fi, she said, here's what's really going on.
The refugee centers are indeed housed in old four-star hotels, but, you know, it's still bunk beds.
Yeah, of course, they have Wi-Fi and flat-screen TV. But the €35 a day is actually the budget that each of these hotels has to pay for each individual.
So every refugee they have, they get €35 a day to feed them, to clothe them, to house them.
And I think the refugees get €2.5 a day or something out of that money.
But still, the idea that you have this undercurrent of dissatisfaction, of course...
And then people take that to extreme.
You can never again tell these people what they believe about the refugees in the four-star hotels.
They'll never change their mind.
And they just went nuts over it.
So there's stuff brewing there.
It's a problem.
Yeah, I'd say.
It's a huge problem.
Well, I have a last clip.
Good.
This is a...
Everybody played this...
One of my favorite networks, not for the political coverage one way or the other, but for their use of native advertising is ABC. The smartest of the group.
They always know how to turn any story into a native ad if they can.
Everybody was covering the Samsung exploding Note 7.
Is this their new phone?
It just came out a couple weeks ago.
They got screwed!
Oh, totally.
They got screwed by, I'm sure, the Chinese battery company.
What, do you think it was sabotage to go along with the release of the new iPhone?
No, no.
It was just that they have such huge volumes that they need these, it's just quality control.
The Chinese, occasionally, you know, it's fine, just ship it.
By the way, saying native advertising, I feel, is kind of appropriating American Indians.
I think you should, you know, you should be sensitive of the culture.
The word to describe it is called native advertising.
You should be sensitive to the culture.
Well, we should.
Now, so there's no way that everyone's doing this story.
Oh, blow it up!
And they have pictures of them.
Oh, they're exploding!
So here's ABC. By the way, you would fit in great with the tech shows.
Blow it up!
Here's ABC. So ABC, this is a Samsung story.
ABC decides to turn it into a native ad and just gets it out of the park.
Tonight, charged smartphones like this one triggering a massive recall.
Samsung confirming 35 reports of batteries exploding in its Galaxy Note 7 phones.
Unveiled just last month.
The world's biggest smartphone maker now pulling the brand new model from stores in 10 countries, including the U.S. Ariel Gonzalez posting the remnants of his Note 7 to YouTube.
He says it caught fire while it was plugged into a Samsung charger.
No injuries have been reported.
Samsung has already shipped two and a half million Note 7s.
Customers will be able to swap those for new phones as early as next week.
But this is a big blow to Samsung, which hoped to narrow its gap with Apple here in the United States with this brand new device.
Apple expected to release its brand new iPhone next week.
Tom?
A lot of people waiting for that.
All right, Rebecca, thank you.
A lot of people waiting for that.
All right.
Thank you.
Do you think that was paid, though?
Oh, absolutely.
It had to be.
Really?
Because at first, they took this story.
I've been watching ABC and studying this.
If they didn't pay, they use it as an example of how they could do this.
Because first, they do this story about Samsung.
It's got nothing to do with Apple.
And then they bring Apple into it in some sideways.
And then they mention when Apple's coming out with a new phone.
It's coming out pretty soon.
And then they cut it back to the anchor guy.
And he says, oh, everybody's waiting for that.
If it wasn't for the everyone's waiting for that...
Yeah, I agree with you.
Damn those guys.
They're good.
They are good.
They're really good.
They're really good.
They really know what they're doing.
All right, everybody.
Fabulous!
Is it football?
Is college football on now?
College football has started.
The whole thing started this last...
Actually, it started.
I saw a part of a game yesterday.
Yeah, it was a game.
It was a bunch of games.
And then we showed how bad the Pac-12 is.
So what do I watch today?
Is there anything to watch?
I think you have to wait until...
I think you have to wait.
There's nothing really important to watch.
Then I'll just eat cake.
Yes, that's what I would do.
I would just eat cake.
I'm going to be eating cake with candles.
With candles?
Yes.
Try not to catch the house on fire.
Okay, I'll try.
She's setting it all up at her place.
Well, hopefully she's got a fire extinguisher nearby.
That's what the fire truck is for.
Yeah.
All right, everybody.
Thank you very much for tuning in.
