Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, September 15, 2016.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination, episode 860.
This is no agenda.
Good to go with my glad rags and handbags and broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State here in Austin Tejas in FEMA Region 6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I want to remind you, children, don't blow in a mic.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
Oh, did I have a plosive?
No, I just...
It was time to remind kids not to blow into a mic.
It was just a handy tip.
Okay, I get it.
I thought I messed something up.
No, no, you sound good.
Oh, okay.
Hey-o!
In the morning.
In the morning to you, and I guess...
Oh, by the way, I wanted to say I heard you on the Nighthawk.
Oh, Night Attack.
Night Attack?
Yes.
Which also, by the way, has the same two letters as No Agenda and A. It was an incredible crossover of the Venn diagram of the two audiences.
Yeah, I bet.
Did you see the whole thing?
No, I watched the first half hour in the last 15 minutes.
Oh, man.
Did you see me smoking?
Oh yeah, you're smoking dope right off the beginning.
I'm surprised the cops didn't bust in.
You know it's illegal there, right?
In Texas, yes it is.
Yeah, it is.
I've been smoking a cigarette, that's what I'd say.
You know what it is, though?
I'll tell you why.
Because when I was preparing to go on the show, yes, I prepare to go on interviews, etc.
Wow.
Yeah.
I notice, the way they do the show, they have, pretty much the cameras are on all the time.
And, you know, it's not switched away.
So I'm on screen the entire time.
They did one cut.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it was like the three shot, three shot, just the whole time, except for about ten seconds there was one shot of you.
Right.
I don't know why.
Well, here's the problem.
So, when you...
I've done television all my life, but it was controlled television.
Or, you know, it's going to be...
And this was like, you know, with the pre-show and the post-show, like four hours that I'm there.
Um...
But if you have that shot on me, I become very conscious of my Tourette's, and you start to see it.
That's the only reason I was watching.
Did you see it?
You saw it, right?
Oh, yeah.
It was pretty funny, actually, to me.
So when I smoke some weed, I can be incredibly...
I can think.
I can think straight.
I can be myself.
But it takes my mind off of that, because otherwise I'd be out of control.
In fact, there's a chat room.
You have a screen rolling by.
At one point, I saw someone in the chat room say, Oh my God, Curry has Zika.
Just look at him.
I'm like, okay.
Zika.
So you get really...
I watched for that...
Not for that reason.
I just want to say the show.
You're like, yeah, let me see his Tourette's.
Yeah, just to mock you.
And I thought you, knowing what you have to go through when you get on video to keep, to look halfway normal, I thought you did a fantastic job.
I don't think anybody, a normal person that doesn't know you or didn't know that you had Tourette's would ever even think of that.
It'd be the last thing on their mind.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, I mean, you had a couple of little twitches and ticks, you know, little, just like you had a sore neck or something, you know, that kind of thing.
That's pretty much it.
It wasn't that, it was hardly noticeable.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
And I didn't realize that you were...
I didn't know that the weed helped, but I guess...
Oh, man.
It helped so much.
Oh, good.
Well, those guys are just drinking.
Yeah, so you know me.
I couldn't drink too much.
I wanted to be kind of on point.
Right.
In fact, I said, oh, great.
He's got these.
I thought, here's what I thought.
I said, ah, I see he's smoking dope so he doesn't have to drink.
Yeah.
Because that's what, you know, would be an...
We know that's an error.
That's an error if I, yeah.
If I drink, yeah.
Yeah, you've got, like I said it to you before, you've never done a test on this, but I think you've got Indian blood in you.
Yeah, okay, alright.
And so I didn't, so yeah, I smoked the weed and it was, I think I smoked three joints.
Really?
Oh yeah.
Wow, that's a lot.
I got home, I was baked.
I guess.
I thought, I had a lot of fun, I really, and you know, I know Schwood.
I've met him a couple times.
I've never really met Justin Young.
That guy's talented.
He's a real comedian.
I mean, like, comedic writer.
He is a comedian.
I think he's a stand-up.
Yeah, a very funny guy.
And it's a good combo.
It's two people like us.
Sometimes it really turns out well.
But I got to tell stories...
That would normally not come up on No Agenda.
Just a trigger of, oh, I'll tell that story.
Stuff that we've never even talked about.
I had a good time.
The most, the coolest thing was I showed up early because, you know, I was traffic and I had to go down south, way, way south Austin.
And Brian says, well, before we start, you know, why don't you, you want to play with the Vive?
The Vive?
What's the Vive?
You know what the Vive is?
Oh, you know, I should know, but I don't.
Yeah, you should really.
It's a virtual reality system.
Okay, so they have it there for some reason?
Yeah, he has it in the studio.
He has the VR. He has the goggles.
You have to have a big honking computer to run it, like an 8-core Intel something or other.
But this system also has sensors in the room that are all set up and calibrated.
My son has that rig in one of his bedrooms.
I gotta tell you.
Have you tried it?
No.
Oh!
You have to try it.
I've been very skeptical about VR. Very skeptical.
This shit blew me away.
And this is before I started smoking weed.
This was really, really good.
Very natural.
Within 20 seconds, your brain's like, okay, I'm here.
And you're shooting arrows.
You're looking at whales.
I mean, very immersive.
I would say a public health danger.
People will never, ever go back to real life.
You know, people who don't understand that you're in fantasy.
Your brain adapts immediately.
You can walk around things.
I was fully impressed.
And so much for tech news, everybody.
Anyway, it's...
What is it?
What is it called?
NightAttack.tv.
Have a look.
I'll put it in the show notes.
Okay.
Well...
At least I noticed that you plugged the show.
You did a good job of that.
Especially at the end where you're dropping in the URL. Did you mention that we won an award?
We actually talked about the awards.
How NightAttack ruined the podcast awards.
They did?
Yeah, well, as it turns out, remember that year, not this year, but the year before, they won every single category?
Well, that was because of their audience, unlike the No Agenda audience.
Well, our guys are a little more mature.
Yeah, so maybe, I don't know about that, but maybe we'll get some help in the next awards, even it out a little bit, just to make it better.
I'll definitely go back to them.
Horowitz says that we should win the award for...
Comedy show.
No.
For best album art.
Oh, yeah.
There's not even a category for that.
Yeah, it should be that.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Absolutely.
Um, okay.
Well, there's a lot of news to discuss, and we've got to get to it, because there's a lot.
Yeah.
Yes, there is.
It's all really, this is the great sketchy news, this is like...
I'll say.
...sleazy news, Hillary, Colin Powell, another email hack, and the email, I don't know what you want to start with, because we've got plenty of different directions to go, but I wouldn't mind starting with the...
Colin Powell email hack.
Okay, I got one or two clips there.
You got something?
Well, I have some setup clips that are all kind of interesting.
Let's start with what happened.
Powell had apparently his personal email, which is maybe an AOL account.
I don't even know what, you know.
He was on the board of directors at AOL. That's why he had an AOL account.
So he should be on the board.
He probably had some password that somebody just cracked because AOL would be easy to crack, it seems to me, if you wanted to just throw a bunch of bots at the password.
And starting with some good guesses, which I'm sure somebody could do.
And so they got into his account and maybe some other accounts.
Or, you know, there's different ways they can go with this.
But what got me was there was immediate...
And we play some of these clips.
I have mostly clips of people reading.
We haven't gone into the thing itself because...
It's just one of those things happening.
I'll tell you what.
Let me just do this for one second.
This is a very short setup.
Fox about the Colin Powell emails, and we have more examples of this.
I believe when Trump couldn't keep that up, he said he also wanted to see if the certificate, as in the birth certificate, noted that he was a Muslim, as in President Obama.
By the way, these emails were obtained by DCLeaks.com, which has ties to Russian intelligence agencies, an angle to keep an eye on after that hack on the DNC and all these charges.
There you go.
That was Fox News, by the way.
Fox News.
Oh, it was Russians.
Everybody was...
I think I have...
I don't know.
Yeah, here's one.
Here's the ABC report on the Hack Powell emails.
This is number one.
Colin Powell hacked.
Calling Donald Trump in email, quote, a national disgrace and Trump's birther movement, quote, racist.
But he also expressed his displeasure with the Clinton campaign and ABC's Cecilia Vega on what the emails reveal.
He is one of the most famous faces in the GOP, serving under three Republican presidents.
But in his hacked emails, Colin Powell calls his own party's nominee a national disgrace and an international pariah.
The former Secretary The Secretary of State also said Donald Trump has no sense of shame.
Powell's emails were hacked in what could be Russia's latest attempt to influence this election.
In those emails, he does not hold back, saying Trump appeals to the worst angels of the GOP nature.
The thing that I found most peculiar about what Colin Powell was saying in his emails is that he is so convinced, his conviction is so strong that the birther movement, that Donald Trump's birther actions his conviction is so strong that the birther movement, that Donald Trump's How is that racist if you want to know if someone was born in America or not?
How is that racist?
Well, he's got to screw loose if he thinks that's racist.
There are two things that bother me about this.
One, it's been proven, and we've discussed this on the show, that Hillary Clinton is the one who started the birther movement when she was running for president in 2008.
Her staff!
It was her dirty tricksters.
Yep, yep.
So, meanwhile, that's not racist, I guess.
Don't we have a clip of that, Clinton Bertha?
Don't we have some clip?
We might.
We probably have a few clips.
I don't know what they would be called.
And the second thing is, while you look for that, the second thing is...
How is Russia involved if the results of this show that Trump is a despicable creep and they go on and on and Powell just nails him for being a jerk?
I don't see where, why would this be Russia?
This is because it doesn't make sense.
Why wouldn't they edit a few of these out, especially the anti-Trump stuff?
There was a lot of anti-Trump stuff.
How's that the Russians trying to rig the election?
Who are they rigging it for?
Sanders?
Allow me to bring in Chris Hayes from MSNBC, who just would not stop about this.
In multiple emails, he comments on Trump's leadership of the birther movement, calling it racist, writing in one, quoting, quote, there is nothing he can say that will sway black voters.
He takes us for idiots.
He can never overcome what he tried to do to Obama with his search for the birth certificate, hoping to force Obama out of the presidency.
A senior U.S. intelligence official tells NBC News the site where the emails were posted, DCLeaks.com, not affiliated with WikiLeaks, is believed to be a conduit for Russian intelligence.
This is just the latest trove of hacked emails to disrupt the presidential race.
There were those internal DNC emails released just before the Democratic Convention, which revealed institutional bias against Bernie Sanders, and led to the ouster of party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
That leak was claimed by a hacker who goes by the moniker Guccifer 2.0, widely believed to have been made up by the Russian government in an attempt to cover up their own hack.
Just yesterday, that same hacker...
The guy's in jail!
Ah, no, stop for a second.
You're incorrect on that.
Guccifer is in jail.
Guccifer 2.0 is probably not the same guy.
I'm not going to say that's not true.
All I know is the guy that was in jail, and we do have a clip.
We've had the clip.
It's the Amy Goodman clip announcing the sentencing of this guy who claims to be Guccifer 2.0.
No, no, no.
He claimed to be Guccifer.
I don't think he was Guccifer 2.0.
Hold on.
Let's listen to the Amy Goodman clip.
Let me see.
I'm sure I have it here.
Guccifer jailed.
Yeah, that wouldn't be the one.
In Virginia, the Romanian hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 has been sentenced to 52 months in prison.
You're right.
You're right.
Okay.
Well, that may be incorrect on her part.
I'm not saying it's incorrect or correct.
It's somewhat beside the point.
I got you.
In the lexicon, he's in jail.
That's your point.
He's in jail and he admitted to the DNC hack.
Is that also in this clip?
I believe so.
Okay.
Oh, you're right.
All right, so, well...
I got a bunch of flack on Twitter from some guy saying this.
Yeah, I got a lot too.
Well, that's where you got this from.
This is not the report.
No, no, I got you.
I got you.
Okay, I'm going to go back and we'll pick this up again.
I'm almost done with this Chris Hazel.
Goes by the moniker Guccifer 2.0.
And by the way, I agree.
We need an official pronunciation guide.
It should be Guccifer.
I think it should be Gucci.
Gucci for like the shoes.
Yeah, Gucci.
Gucci for exactly.
I think we say Gucci for.
All right?
We're good?
Gucci for me.
...to have been made up by the Russian government in an attempt...
Wait a minute, this is actually pretty funny.
Made up!
It's made up, there's a guy in jail.
...goes by the moniker Guccifer 2.0, widely believed to have been made up by the Russian government in an attempt to cover up their own hack.
Just yesterday, that same hacker released more DNC documents, including one containing what appears to be the personal cell phone number for vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine.
Woo!
By the way, hold on.
All the reports of this guy, you know, sending new stuff out, which is another Twitter feedback I got from some goofus, it always says in the reports, a spokesperson for Gucci fur.
Yeah, yeah.
Whoever that is.
Whoever that is.
I wanted that spokesperson.
That's kind of fun.
Have some staff.
No bias against Bernie Sanders and led to the ouster of party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

You can't call There's one person who stands to benefit from these criminal acts and died is Donald Trump.
Oh, yes.
It's not just the Democratic Party and other public officials being targeted.
Not long after Russian athletes were barred from the Rio Olympics for doping, Russian hackers posted what they say are the drug testing records of gymnast Simone Biles and tennis star Serena Williams.
Did you follow that, by the way?
It was a fact.
And this, I believe, may have been done by the Russians because it was a quid pro quo of them getting screwed by these same guys.
I have a quick report on that.
That is a possibility.
I have a quick report from our favorite girl if you're interested.
Yeah, I play it.
Guy and Chichichikhan.
Chichikhan.
You just want to play the...
Chichikhan.
That's right.
I just want to play the jingle.
I just want to play her jingle.
That's right, everybody.
The number one star reporter in Russia today, Guy and Chichichikhan.
The leaked water documents purportedly show that a number of top U.S. athletes were allowed to take banned substances over a long period of time.
As we understand, posted online were copies of therapeutic use exemption certificates.
Tennis player Serena Williams was allowed to take banned substances such as...
Listen to this.
Listen to these substances.
This is great.
Oxycodone, hydromorphone, prednisone, and methylprednisolone, if I pronounce them correctly.
I'm big, man.
Holy moly.
That's some hardcore crap right there.
In 2010, 2014, and 2015, Venice Williams was also allowed to take a number of Venn supplements.
In 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Gymnast Simone Biles, who won four gold medals in the 2016 Olympics in Rio, is shown to have tested positive for methylphenidate in August at the time of the Olympics.
Biles was apparently also allowed to take dextroamphetamine in 2013 and 2014.
We reached out to the Gymnastics Federation and they said Biles took the substances for medical reasons.
I love that stuff.
I would say that this makes the most sense of being a Russian hack.
Yeah, I agree.
And I would say that this hack probably wouldn't have happened if they hadn't banned completely all the Russian Paralympics.
Including the Paralympics guys, yeah.
Yeah, all the Paralympics guys were banned.
All of them.
Guys in wheelchairs.
Stop doping in your wheelchair, man.
That's not cool.
I mean, these deserve to be hacked, and this deserves to come out.
This is another, you know, kind of an interesting revelation.
I like how they say, took the drugs for medical reasons.
Yeah, that seems like kind of what you do.
Crazy.
I mean, yeah.
The show writes itself, people.
So let's go back to the Colin Powell.
Now here's another one that's kind of funny.
This is Don Lemon.
What are you doing on my beat?
Sorry, I just caught him and I couldn't resist this particular clip.
Email rundown Don Lemon Hampton party.
Oh boy.
This will be good.
Paul emailed about Hillary Clinton, about being drawn into Clinton's email issues, okay?
He said, HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tying me into it.
I told her staff three times not to try that gambit.
I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hamptons party to get their attention.
Again, he is saying that she is not honest, and a lot of people believe that, certainly about the emails.
Yeah, the Hamptons party.
Okay, let's stop right here.
They were at the Hamptons party together?
So let's get this straight.
Colin Powell's at the Hamptons party.
A Democratic fundraiser.
A big Democratic fundraiser.
He's supposedly a Republican, but he's there at the Hamptons, and he's throwing a hissy fit because they're going to bring out, because what they're going to think they're going to do is blame him for the email thing, and he doesn't want it.
So he had to throw a temper tantrum to get their attention, and still, and still they did it.
He told her minions, don't bring me into this!
And they did!
As he sipped the Chardonnay.
The Moet Chardonnay.
And ate the delicious, delicious shrimp.
I have to tell you, the Petit Fours were just delectable.
So this guy is supposedly a big GOP guy.
Sure he is.
That may be an opener.
Let me write that down.
I missed it.
The delectable.
So we got this one here.
This is another rundown.
This is a rundown.
Powell on Hillary is more dirt.
Colin Powell also discussed...
Oh, no, play it, play it, play it.
Sorry, play it.
Play it.
Play it.
No, play it.
Play it.
Yeah, Colin Powell also discussed Hillary Clinton's health.
In an email conversation with Democratic mega-donor Jeffrey Leeds, Powell writes, quote, On HDTV, she doesn't look good.
She is working herself to death.
Mr.
Leeds responds by saying that Rhode Island Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse told him that he and Clinton gave, quote, speeches at the same event a few months back, and she could barely climb the podium steps.
Jeffrey Leeds also sent a number of emails to Colin Powell detailing Hillary and Bill Clinton's dislike of President Obama.
Now, that...
Rundown of that email, which is why we're going to have to go over these, or somebody's going to have to go over these with a fine-tooth comb.
That was edited back by every network.
They would not bring in the guy's name.
They would not bring in that she's staggering up the stairs, barely making it to the White House.
Oh, no, we don't want to put that out there.
So this was a report on Fox, so they would put it in.
Yeah.
But everybody else took all that information out.
It was actually the best part.
Have you updated the leaner report for this?
Not yet, no.
But there's a couple new...
I know.
I'm sure you have the same idea.
Which one?
Bill.
What about Bill?
Bill, CBS editing Bill.
Oh yeah, Bill Eddie.
Yeah, I didn't put...
No, I got that.
We have to play that.
Okay, we'll play it, but let's finish this.
Take your time.
I'm good.
Here's another one.
This is also Don Lemon about the Benghazi thing, and Powell has obviously never read into what we believe to be the case for Benghazi, but it's still beside the point.
It's a good clip.
It's about Benghazi.
They supported her, sort of.
So here's what Powell writes.
He says, Benghazi is a stupid witch hunt.
Basic false false...
On a courageous ambassador who thought Libyans now love me and I am okay in this very vulnerable place.
But blame also rests on his leaders and supports back here.
Pat Kennedy, Intel Community, DS, and yes, HRC. And then Condoleezza Rice replied, completely agree.
Okay, that was that.
And then we have...
That's just a gratuitous clip with no follow-up?
That's a gratuitous clip.
Okay.
Let's go with this one.
This is the...
Megyn Kelly had Flynn, who I'm actually liking more and more.
You know, we have a direct line to Flynn.
We can talk to him.
Yeah, that's good.
We like it.
We like the direct line.
We like the direct line.
And I watched this guy.
He's very personal.
He had a big smile on his face.
He thought these emails calling him.
He was called by a pal.
A jerk.
Yeah.
A right wing.
A hole.
Yeah.
A hole.
He was rude to people.
Oh, go figure.
Someone in the military.
Rude to people.
Yeah.
I can't imagine while somebody, especially in the Pentagon, running the DIA would be rude to anybody.
You'd think he'd just be the nicest guy in the world.
Yeah.
Can I get an invite to those Hampton parties?
So he came on and he actually, I think, he didn't say anything specifically that I can point to that I think is a smoking gun.
But if I'm interpreting the following, I'm believing the following because we've talked about this on the show.
The easiest way to get Powell's emails, wherever they came from, was to use the mechanism that's available to NSA to This was discussed by Snowden.
This was discussed by others.
There's apparently a terminal.
You walk up to it.
You put somebody's social security number in it, which is the weird way to access, but that's the way that lit it is.
That's the identifier.
That was the identifier.
You put that number in, and boom, you've got all their emails.
You've got whatever you want.
You've got all their phone records.
So that's an NSA internal database?
Supposedly.
Nice.
Guys have been using it against their girlfriends.
I think you called Bill again.
Yeah, good times.
Now, I'm guessing, although this wasn't discussed in too much detail about the emails at the NSA, I'm guessing they could pull up that stuff rather easily and pass it around.
And I'm still of the opinion that the NSA is kind of working...
Against Hillary.
Okay.
But here's Megan and Flynn, and this is Megan and Flynn on the emails, part one.
Which is the intelligence arm of the U.S. military.
He's also author of The Field of Fight, How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and its Allies.
General, good to see you.
Hi, Megan.
Your reaction to General Powell's thoughts?
Yeah, right-wing nutty, and I think he called me a jerk, too.
I've actually been called worse things by my little sister.
You know, I would just tell you...
Take that, sissy boy.
Wow.
That was, I know, that was a very interesting, very slight needle.
My little sister is worse than you, you wimp.
Call me a jerk, too.
I've actually been called worse things by my little sister.
You know, I would just tell you, you know, this is another Secretary of State.
You know, actually, that is an actual example of someone getting butt slammed.
Well, you got the clip.
Play it.
No, you need to bring it to the front.
I didn't...
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll do it this way.
Hi, Megan.
Your reaction to General Powell's thoughts?
Yeah, right-wing nutty, and I think he called me a jerk, too.
I've actually been called worse things by my little sister.
Whoa!
You got butt slammed!
No!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
You know, I would just tell you, you know, this is another Secretary of State, you know, and another individual who has had their email hacked.
I mean, what are we learning from this, Megan?
I mean, and I want to tell you what, more to come.
More to come.
And the fact, you know, the business with, you know, not knowing whether or not, you know, nation states have the 33,000 or what Colin Powell has said.
I mean, when are people going to learn...
That there are threats out there that are going to continue to hack their email.
You know, I've said I would love to have my emails hacked, and I know that they've tried it, because I'm not saying, I'm not disparaging people in my emails.
I'm being very honest, very blunt about what I say publicly is what I say in my private email communications.
I don't screw around like that, because I was taught as a young kid by my father to treat others like you like to be treated, and that's the golden rule.
Then he's an intelligence guy.
He's not dumb.
He's not going to put stupid stuff on email.
These guys know what's going on.
This is Megan and Flynn.
This is a target clip.
This one kind of says to me that there's...
Somebody knows something that they're not really telling us.
Do you think this was Russia?
I mean, do you think Russia is behind the DNC hack and this hack?
And if so, why?
Well, who would know?
The White House would know if that was the case, and certainly those in our intelligence community would know if that is the case.
You know, I really don't know.
Why would they go after Colin Powell?
Well, you know, hey, everybody that's a highly visible person, when somebody finds that kind of titillating, whatever you want to call it, information, they're going to make it publicly available.
I mean, people have got to come to grips.
With their emails, you know, and those that are high-visibility people, he's a high-visibility person.
He obviously said some really mean things.
I mean, at the end of the day, he said some really mean things.
Now, he thought that they were private, but, Megan, nothing is private when you are a target of whether it's an anonymous group or whether it's a nation-state.
Oh, all right.
He also said, I thought I had in one of these two clips, maybe it was in the first one, I missed it, but it was, he says there's more to come.
Yeah we know there's more to come.
Yeah, there's more to come.
He wouldn't say the Russians because he knows better it's not the Russians.
Why would it be?
Well, this DC leaks thing is very annoying.
They came out of nowhere, and they're being called a Russian front.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is.
Have any proof that they're a Russian front?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't know anything about them.
Nope, I have not heard anything.
No one's really given any details.
Oh, DC leaks.
Assange would probably know.
Assange would know.
Yeah, I'm sure he does.
Well, he published, I think, didn't they co-publish or didn't he publish those as well or something like that?
I haven't seen them.
No, it's the Guccifer 2.0 that he published.
Okay.
Yeah, the DC leaks.
I don't know.
It's a little annoying.
I don't know who those guys are.
Yeah, we have to find out or get close to figuring it out.
We'll just have Flynn tell us.
We got a line to him.
Hey, man, who are those DC leaks guys?
Let us know.
You might know.
During this, I'm listening to a lot of stuff about Flynn.
We have our theories on the show about who's on what side.
You were kind of anti-Flynn first.
It's interesting that you saw him.
I don't believe that.
You thought he was an a-hole promoting a book.
I clearly remember that.
Oh, well.
Part of that is true, obviously.
But Flynn!
Yeah.
So he, I like him more and more.
And I've kind of admired his, he has a lot of style.
Kind of, he reminds me of Dempsey.
Only Dempsey managed not to get thrown out of the army the way Flynn was thrown out of the Pentagon.
Obama had one of his house cleanings.
Dempsey literally flies under the radar.
Dempsey did a good job, because he's now retired.
But then this story, the Woolsey story showed up, and I didn't see anybody playing this up except Democracy Now!
The Woolsey story, alright.
In more campaign news, Donald Trump has named former CIA director James Woolsey to be a senior advisor in national security.
Woolsey's considered a far-right neoconservative.
After the 9-11 attacks, he was a leading voice calling for war with Iraq.
Donald Trump, in contrast, has repeatedly claimed he's been against the war in Iraq.
Now, Woolsey's pretty high up, or was high up, wasn't he?
He was the director.
Yeah, he was a big-ass guy.
And I think he was one of the directors that actually had something to do with the rank and file.
Now, we've heard from our sources, as you reported this, that it's not necessarily true that the CIA, because in our basic thesis of this election, who's supporting who, we have the CIA and CBS. It's a broadcasting outlet.
All in for Hillary.
All in for Hillary, but then you said one of your sources...
Yeah, here's what my source said.
He said, the people who actually run CIA are considered pencil pushers, and they don't really count.
Same in the military.
The people who are actually doing the work are really doing the work.
They call them literally pencil pushers.
So when I say, hey, Brennan, isn't this guy, he's all in for...
No, pencil pusher.
Just a pencil pusher.
Okay.
I'll take their word for it.
Yeah, and now that Woolsey came over, that may be a kind of a break in the dike.
I think Trump had a letter from former military and intelligence commanders, which of course you won't hear about.
Hillary has 100 million former guys who are all on her side.
Here it is, Military Times.
What is this?
Let me see.
I'm going to bring it up right now.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
14 Medal of Honor recipients endorsed Trump.
That's not bad.
And here's a letter.
Open letter from military leaders.
And here's the following list of people who are...
I probably won't read it all, but...
List who support Trump.
General Bell, General Hanson, Admiral Johnson, General Crosby Saint, Lieutenant General Boykin, Lieutenant General...
It just goes on and on and on.
Vice Admirals, Admirals, Major Generals.
I mean, there's...
How many are on here?
88.
That's the list of 88.
88.
Hey, nice number.
Some sort of a number, code number.
I'm sure.
They're all ham guys.
They're all hams.
They probably are.
There's a lot of hams in the military.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Anyway, so the Woolsey story was underreported.
As you didn't even know it.
No, no.
I got you there.
One for me.
And that says, I don't know what that means in the scheme of things, but you know that he, I'm hoping, I could be wrong, because I don't know what's going on with the Trump campaign, but I would think he would run it past Flynn before he did this.
Because you don't want two good military guys from two different agencies beefing with each other.
Not getting along.
And there's been a lot of...
Even though the DIA and the CIA seem to work well together from what I can see, just observing these crazy conferences that they keep broadcasting on C-SPAN, they seem to get along.
It's the NSA guys that seem to be on a...
All by themselves doing whatever they do.
They maintain that they're the most secretive historically.
We didn't even know about them until recently.
And they're sticking with that.
They still, you know, we don't know what the hell they're thinking.
They never show up for these meetings.
I'm going to go in this stupid meeting.
Yeah, why should I go to that meeting?
What difference at this point does it make?
So let's go back to...
This is the latest ABC Trump rundown.
ABC, of course, we believe is a Trump promoter, and you have to kind of read between the lines with some of these stories.
Do you already want to move away from Clinton and go to Trump?
Is that what we're doing?
Are we transitioning?
I didn't think we even got to Clinton yet.
I think we're going to...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yes, I know you're absolutely right.
Keep going.
Yeah, unless you want to just jump to Clinton.
I'd rather get Trump out of the way.
Yeah, let's get Trump out of the way, and then I've got to jump to Clinton.
I've got some stuff for you.
Good.
I've got a perfect transition, because I'm going to go from this clip, the Trump run, down to the Clinton.
Oh, my God.
All right, everybody.
We're going to go into a transition here.
Standby.
John's going to do a transition, then toss it to Adam.
Standby.
So we're going to start with the Trump rundown, and this is a report by Tom Yamas, who must just be, if he has to do anything, his stuff is always anti-Trump, but if he has to do anything that's kind of pro-Trump, it's got to go in because he's the guy that they keep referring to.
Trump called out a reporter by name at one of the Trump speeches.
And he did.
He called out Tom Yamas and said he was a liar.
Yes, that's exactly what happened.
Tonight, Trump now leads 46 to 41.
Every one of these networks started off with like one of these 48 to 42, 46 to 43.
And each one, by their bias...
When CBS did this, Hillary was ahead, but not by as much.
I didn't see the NBC report, but I'm guessing it was a pro...
And these numbers go back and forth.
All the MSNBC stuff.
It's all over the place.
ABC, which we believe is pro-Trump, doesn't switcheroo and shows that Trump's kicking ass somehow.
Yeah, in Ohio, a very important state.
Leads 46-41.
ABC's Tom Yamas leading us off.
Tonight, in a stunning moment, Donald Trump stopped cold in his tracks in the middle of a political attack by a pastor of an African-American church in Flint, Michigan.
Hillary failed on the economy, just like she's failed on foreign policy.
Everything she touched didn't work out.
Nothing.
Now Hillary Clinton...
I invited you here to thank us for...
Oh, okay.
Okay.
That was really...
Someone really effed up on that appearance.
Yeah, that was bad.
That was bad.
No, man.
He's good in the black church, but this was bad.
The way he...
Right.
It was.
But if you notice the report, since we're talking about ABC, they started off with Trump's butt-slamming Hillary with a couple of interesting little quotes that they left in.
They didn't have to do that.
They could have just reported it.
They didn't have to leave the anti-Hillary stuff in there, but they did.
So it was edited in.
And the woman comes out and kind of embarrasses Trump and tells him to get back on track.
And then Yamas gets his part of it and he says, then Trump left, kind of, even though there was a whole bunch of stuff Trump said after that moment.
Oh, okay.
Okay, that's good.
Then I'm going to go back on.
Okay.
Trump quickly wrapped up and left.
Earlier, Trump in a more familiar role, the showman building the drama, presenting the results of his most recent physical on Dr.
Oz.
Why not share your medical records?
By the way, genius move!
Genius move!
I think that was the smartest thing.
It's one of those things, you or I, we'd be like, I'm too embarrassed to even do that.
He has no shame.
No, he's shameless.
I think Powell hit that one right on the money.
Out of the park with this one, though.
But here's what was, to me, the funniest bit about it.
He's sitting there, he says, why don't you...
It's like so rehearsed.
That's what it really points me.
He's like, hey, what do you think, audience?
So, well, there was only that, but it goes like, yes, exactly.
He goes, because you can't see this from the clip, but he's sitting there and Oz says, why don't you reveal your stuff?
He says, well, I guess I could.
I have it right here.
Should I carry it with me wherever I go?
And he pulls it out of his pocket.
Now, apparently...
Come on, people!
Now, apparently...
And I don't have any clips of this.
This was just a promo that was sent early to all the news networks.
And they're like, oh, this is ridiculous.
It's nuts.
But on the show, and I think it airs Monday...
I thought it airs today.
Oh, it might air today.
He actually has a full lab report and all kinds of stuff that was not in the promo, so everyone is going to look pretty stupid.
So it was like a double setup.
I think today he revealed, oh my god, look at all this stuff that he actually had throughout the entire week.
I'm like, oh, this is nuts, Dr.
Oz, nothing, piece of paper in his pocket.
So I think there's a setup there that will be I don't think anyone's fallen for it because there was a lot revealed on this ABC report.
Why not share your medical records?
Well, I have really no problem in doing it.
I have it right here.
I mean, should I do it?
I don't care.
It's two letters.
One is the report, and the other is from Lenox Hill Hospital.
May I see them?
Yeah, sure.
So these are the reports?
Those were all the tests that were just done last week.
Audience members tell us Trump revealed his cholesterol level, blood pressure, and the results of his latest colonoscopy, and that he takes a statin.
Yeah, and Dr.
Dr. Oz likes talking about poop.
So I'm going to talk about his colonoscopy.
He does have a hand.
He has a poop thing, man.
Pressure and the results of his latest colonoscopy and that he takes a statin.
I've got to say as a doctor, if it was my patient, they're good for a man of his age.
The Trump campaign has yet to show reporters those two pages he handed to Dr. Oz.
Oz.
In 2015, Trump tweeted, I have instructed my long-time doctor to issue a full medical report.
It will show perfection.
But since then, all we've seen is this four-paragraph letter.
Trump's doctor, Harold Bornstein, declaring Trump, quote, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.
You know, they keep showing a picture of this guy with, like, long gray hair, like a hippie douche.
Yeah, this is what Megyn Kelly, when she brings him...
Is that really his doctor?
That's the guy?
Yes, and Megyn always says it's his weird doctor.
She always throws that in.
Yeah, no kidding.
I think I probably picked up his kind of language and then just interpreted it to my own.
Wait a minute, I lost the plot here.
What did we switch to?
Okay, well this is Yama Stroh's in a gratuitous clip of this weird doctor, which I'm going to call him.
Oh, okay, I gotcha.
Of him talking about how Trump came running and said, I need a report on my health.
And he says, well, the limo is still running.
It took him like 10 minutes to knock this out.
Oh, perfect, perfect.
I think I probably picked up his kind of language and then just interpreted it to my own.
Dr.
Bornstein also performed Trump's physical exam last week.
The campaign?
Unclear on whether they will ever release a more complete medical history.
Alright, so that's as balanced as you're going to get on the networks.
And that, again, I believe to be a pro-Trump report.
But they have to balance it a little bit with a Hillary report following it.
And this is actually the second clip, which is the latest ABC clip.
This is the cutaway to Clinton.
I cut this down a little bit because I think this is the point that they were making.
And it was just short and sweet.
Sidelined with pneumonia, her doctor, Lisa Bardak, releasing a new detailed health summary, saying Clinton's physical exam was, quote, normal and she is in excellent mental condition.
Mental condition?
I like condition.
When does that come up in the conversation?
She says excellent mental hygiene is the term you want to use.
Her mental hygiene is completely clean.
She's in excellent mental condition, which I guess was like, I thought again, that was a negative Hillary report, even though Yamas delivered it.
I agree.
So ABC is a master, of course they're a Disney company, master propagandists.
Oh yeah, they're very good.
They're very good.
Alright, it's all yours.
We're on to Hillary.
Yes, I spent some time on the 9-11 collapse, not the building, but in free fall as well, Hillary Clinton.
The rumors of body doubles.
I really, really, really, really drilled down into this, because this was irritating to me.
But, more interesting is how mainstream media played this.
Now, I think everyone who's listening to our broadcast here has seen the video.
Has seen the two different versions of the video.
Maybe we've even seen the one that was mirrored and reversed and looks like there's a whole different angle.
It's just a mirror.
Although, it is an interesting way to find more clues and more details.
Well, I thought it was interesting because, and I'd gone back and forth, and it was a mirror, even though Rush Limbaugh thought there was something rigged about it.
He made a mistake.
A lot of people didn't see how he, all you have to do is look for where that fence was.
The fence was on one side, that was on the other.
Where's the guy standing?
He's over here, now he's over here.
Exactly.
It's the same group of people, but it's, for some reason, and I've not figured this out, I've looked at both of these side by side, the mirrored one, you see Hillary staggering better.
Right.
Yeah, well, this is a known thing that, you know, if you need to draw something, sometimes it's easier if you draw it upside down.
You know, if you want to copy something, you turn that upside down, draw it upside down, it turns out better.
I mean, this is the way the brain works.
It analyzes things differently.
Yeah, it definitely was a different...
Yes.
The effect was different.
It seemed as though it was two different clips.
It was the same clip.
Now, I'll ask you, but I'm pretty sure everyone else who's seen this video, there is no doubt that Hillary collapsed.
You can't see if she lost consciousness, but her entire body went slack, and her toes, the top of her toes were dragging over the pavement, a shoe came off.
So this woman was not.
She was out.
Yeah.
Now, Brit Hume from Fox.
I was going to read all these quotes to you, but he actually did the read.
And I think it's funnier when he does it.
Brit Hume is, yeah, he's got the kind of the old grouchy newsman style.
I like that.
It comes across as very authoritative.
I met him.
Is he a cool guy?
No.
The douche?
He is just like he is on television.
He wears reading glasses and when he talks to you, he drops his face and looks down his nose.
He looks down his nose.
Wait, he's that tall?
You're 6'2".
No, I'm talking when he was seated.
I was talking to him when he was seated.
I wasn't standing and chatting with him.
He was seated and he would drop his glasses and drop his nose and look like that.
And exactly what you see on television is him.
He is that guy.
Okay.
Well, I liked his read of the headlines for the...
The reporting on this from USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times.
Without a doubt, three print publications that are the big ones in the USA. Right?
There could be little doubt that only some help from her bodyguards kept Hillary Clinton from collapsing to the pavement as she boarded her motorcade outside that 9-11 event in New York yesterday.
Some mainstream media outlets, however, didn't quite put it that way.
USA Today said only that she, quote, quickly departed.
The Wall Street Journal said she was, quote, looking wobbly.
The New York Times did manage to say she had, quote, had to be helped into a van.
That's unbelievable.
Everyone who saw that video knows that none of those descriptions are accurate.
Well, they've even gone further than that.
I mean, there's a number of theories.
Well, before we get into all theories, okay, we know what the official word is.
Let me see which one I'm going to grab here.
By the way, to back up a little bit and talk about these news outlets not reporting correctly.
Big news there.
None of them were there.
I pointed this out in the newsletter for people who don't get the newsletter.
They should get the newsletter.
There was the guy who was there recording this Where was everybody else?
Hillary was at the event.
She was hauled off by her escorts, and nobody followed them?
Well, the press apparently was distracted, kept in a certain spot by staffers.
And they were shielded and they didn't know about this.
And the press are pretty angry that they didn't know anything that was going on for, I think, 90 minutes is their number.
Some freelancer just happens to be standing around the pickup spot and he says, oh, here we go.
Let me take a movie of this and see what happens.
Exactly.
Unbelievable to me.
And it's a great piece of video.
I've seen it forwards, backwards, zoomed in, everything.
And I have thoughts on that coming up.
But first, the immediate response from the mainstream media, and my favorite of course is MSNBC. Whenever something crazy happens, I like going there first at the best.
Now, this is long.
We can just stop whenever you've heard enough of it.
But this is MSNBC pretty much saying, oh, well, you know, this is warm.
It was muggy.
It was a very hot day, which it was not.
It was nice and cool.
But let's listen to this MSNBC. Of course, the big story today has been the fact that Secretary Clinton left rather unceremoniously, having become overheated.
We should say the weather has been horrific.
Very hot, extremely humid temperatures.
She was adorned in a long-sleeved coat, a pantsuit.
And so what we will see here now is her getting into the car.
She was a little bit unstable there.
She was a little bit wobbly.
That's, I think, an appropriate word to use.
The same words, the same talking points, wobbly.
See, right there, again, she had become overheated.
I couldn't even wear what I'm wearing now to be appropriately dressed to anchor a broadcast.
This pissed Tina off to no end.
She's like, I could not believe these women saying this.
Oh, but you know, I even get woozy when I have long sleeves on.
I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt when I came in early this morning.
It was that horrible, that weather.
She has an unbelievably challenging taxing schedule that would be so physically for anybody, right?
Let alone somebody who's her age.
And frankly, standing for a long period of time, there is something that a fainting reflex that's called vasobagal syncope, which is not a There's a beggar syncope.
Now we're doctors.
With that excessive heat, if she didn't eat enough that morning or drink enough that morning...
No, if she didn't eat enough.
It could happen to anybody.
That doesn't seem likely.
It could happen to anybody.
I know.
There are plenty of days that I will drink coffee, and a fair amount of it I might have, in the early mornings to get going.
And then if you don't eat properly, that can set you off.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen her faint on the news desk all the time.
It can set you off.
Americans have been spinning up theories that she's not in fact in good health.
It is a rare occurrence that you and I discuss fashion when we're talking about politics.
Oh, fashion!
I'm looking at what you are wearing.
You've got short sleeves on.
I can tell it's a light material.
That is in direct contrast to what it appears Secretary Clinton was wearing.
That blouse might even be a long sleeve blouse.
I mean, put into perspective this weather out there, and if that's what she's wearing, I mean, that's just horribly uncomfortable.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, John, I hate it when that happens.
I feel so uncomfortable.
That's a good point.
And, you know, it was the start of the day, the sun beating down.
The sun beating down.
Other folks who were there at the 9-11 memorial, they also say that it was pretty hot there as well.
She's in a dark suit, in a dark sleeve.
It's not the kind of thing that you want to be wearing any inappropriate attire.
So absolutely appropriate for the event.
You want to hear more?
It's a little bit longer still, but...
You get the point.
I want a follow-up clip after this that I think fits into what you're doing here.
Well, let's do that.
This is pathetic.
Well, here's the Fox, this is short, the Fox News guy who lives in New York.
It was really a contrast, Britt, in terms of on MSNBC, they were talking about sweltering weather in New York.
I live in New York.
It was 75 degrees at the time, low humidity, considerable breeze, but that was the spin from there.
CNN, on the other hand, waited to go with the story, and then when they finally did, they were chalking it up to conspiracy theory and saying that probably much ado about nothing.
Conspiracy theory.
Conspiracy theory.
What do you have?
And these guys are not coordinating any of this stuff, as you can witness by this great little clip that one of the online publications put together.
I call it the power.
Stop.
I know exactly what that is.
We'll do it in a moment.
It fits in somewhere else.
Okay.
Yeah, it fits in somewhere else.
Okay.
I thought it'd fit in perfectly.
Yeah, no, no.
It'll fit in even better.
Trust me.
Okay.
Okay, go.
All right.
Now, so there's a lot of conversation, a lot of discussion.
Sanjay Gupta got rolled out very, very tepid.
Like, well, you know, I need a lot.
Well, he's actually in the power clip, too, but go on.
You know, I really need a lot more information.
Not really, you know, totally sure.
Gloria Borger, who I do like, she seems to have no elitist ties to anybody.
I have no idea.
I know.
She only just acts like one.
Yes, exactly.
She must be married to someone.
She must come from a family.
She must be wealthy.
No, none of that.
So she was there and she agreed with Sanjay.
And here's this little clip from her where there was a little phrase here that I liked.
It was another two-page letter like the two-page letter we already had.
I'm with the doctor here.
I think we don't know a lot more than we knew.
And I think that for those who believe in conspiracy theories, they're still going to believe in conspiracy theories.
For those who believe in conspiracy theories, they're still going to believe in conspiracy theories because they're conspiracy theories from conspiracy theorists.
Those who believe in conspiracy theories, they're still going to believe in conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton's health.
Hold on a second.
Is this a new clip?
Yeah?
Because I distinctly remember, and I don't know if it was her or not, somebody else using the same phraseology.
Those are conspiracy, believe in conspiracy.
Do you remember this?
It was some time ago.
Those who believe in conspiracies will always believe in conspiracies because they believe in conspiracies.
Let me see.
Hold on a second.
I don't know if you could find this.
It would be impossible.
That would be...
I'd give you ten points if you could find that clip.
But that was like...
A year or more ago, the same, and I believe it was on CNN, because they just...
NPR's social science correspondent Shankar Vedantam often drops by with juicy new research.
He's here with us again.
Shankar, what's on your mind?
I want to talk about conspiracy theories today, David.
Okay.
And this is everything from whether the U.S. government was secretly behind the 9-11 attacks to whether President Obama was actually born.
I think this is one of your clips, isn't it?
Or this is one of my clips?
It seems like one of my...
United States.
What proportion of the U.S. population would you say subscribes to one of these theories?
10-15% maybe?
It's a long clip.
I don't want to mess around with that.
Go back to your point.
The point is that this is a meme, is what I'm trying to say.
About Hillary Clinton's health.
And for those who say she's healthy, she's healthy.
I don't think...
We didn't go back to 2012, learn more about what actually happened to her when she had the big incident in the fall.
Oh, Gloria!
The big incident.
That's where she fell in her home.
This is not the plane crash that we keep talking about.
But why doesn't she say that?
Why did she say the big incident?
Plane crash sounds more like a big incident than tripping and falling.
That's my point.
She's talking about a big incident.
No, I know that's your point.
I'm just being sarcastic.
Ah, gotcha.
Okay.
But now we have most people, this was, Fox was airing this, everybody had this.
Bill Clinton goes on CBS with Charlie Rose and explains about these episodes that she's had.
Look at that collapse, that video that was taken.
You wonder if it's not more serious than dehydration.
She's been, well if it is, it's a mystery to me and all of her doctors.
Because frequently, not frequently, that's a...
Rarely, but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years, the same sort of things happened to her when she just got severely dehydrated.
All right, so Bill corrects himself and says, he says, no, not frequently, not frequently.
So this is how this segment aired later in the day on CBS. She's been...
Well, if it is, it's a mystery to me and all of our doctors.
Rarely, but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years.
Yeah, they edited out the Frequently take.
They edited that out.
Let's start over and do that one again.
Now, I knew about this, but I'm actually not...
That's funny you got it.
I didn't go back to get this side-by-side clip, but let's play those again, just so we can re-emphasize what happened here.
Look at that collapse, that video that was taken.
You wonder if it's not more serious than dehydration.
She's been...
Well, if it is, it's a mystery to me and all of her doctors.
Because frequently...
Not frequently, that's not...
Rarely, but on...
He corrects frequently and turns it into rarely.
Here's the edit.
She's been...
Well, if it is, it's a mystery to me and all of her doctors.
Rarely, but on more than one occasion...
Ruh-roh!
Ruh-roh!
Does anybody think that they can get away with this?
So CBS was called to account and their explanation was it was edited for time constraints.
All three seconds.
How about just getting him off the show?
That would be a great edit.
All three seconds we had to take out for timing.
That is blatant.
That is not okay.
And that is a cover-up.
And it's bull crap.
CBS is the most...
They're the worst.
And they're the worst in their morning show.
They're the...
I think one of the best-looking women on these morning shows.
They always have to have one good-looking one.
Actually, ABC's got a nice woman, too.
So be pleasant, because you wake up in the morning, and you go, oh, this is cute.
She's pretty.
She just turns sour when she talks about Trump.
Their news show is absolutely just a conduit for the government.
And everything, all the messaging that goes on in their programming, everything, CBS is absolutely all in, at least at the moment, but they can switch it to the drop of a hat.
LeanerReport.com, everybody.
Lena Report discusses some of this.
And Charlie Rose is like the go-to guy on all this stuff.
He's on the morning show, he's on the night show, he's on the new substitute for Scott Kelly, he's got his own show on PBS. This guy...
He must be making a fortune at this point.
I know he never was before, but now with his association with CBS, he's making millions and millions of dollars, but he's working himself to death.
He should just quit.
Well, let him do what he wants to do.
So, with all this speculation out there, what do you do?
What you gotta do is you gotta go to the guy you trust the most to bring you the story and play along with the game.
There's only one.
You know who it is.
Clooney?
No.
If Hillary Clinton wants to pass on messages unedited on television, on the telescreens, who are you going to call?
Not Clooney.
Who?
Pooper!
Oh, yeah, of course.
So she calls into Pooper for like an eight-minute call, and there's some important clips here.
Thank you very much for calling in.
There's a lot of folks who are very worried about you.
How are you feeling?
Oh, thank you, Anderson.
I'm feeling so much better.
And obviously, I should have gotten some rest sooner.
I probably would have been better off if I'd just pulled down my schedule on Friday.
But like a lot of people, I just thought I could keep going forward and power through it.
And obviously, that didn't work out so well.
There it is!
She made a determination with her doctor that she would power through this.
She made a decision to just power through this.
We've decided to power through sometimes.
Just power through this.
Continue to power through.
This is all the mainstream media.
This is actually before the pooper interview when this power through this thing came out.
Nice montage.
She tried to power through it.
She decided to power through it.
Well, you know, Brooke, she just wanted to power through.
She just wanted to power through her schedule.
So she wanted to just power through and keep doing it.
I appreciate all of her desire to power through.
To power through and get things done.
She tried to power through it.
It was Hillary Clinton's decision, essentially, to power through the candidate who famously wants to power through these things.
She's going to try and power through.
We say, when you get a cold, just power through.
Power through.
They thought she could power through.
They thought she could power through.
They thought that she could power through it.
Wants to power through things.
Said, too, the powering through.
Governor Jennifer Granholm said, women just power through these things.
And I get it.
I try to power through all my illnesses.
Hillary Clinton had a very busy day on Friday, and she powered through that day.
Yet she powered through.
Powering through illness is what women do every day.
She continued powering through.
I think about mothers powering through.
I mean, she powered through that week.
I'm going to power through.
That was her way.
Man, I love that clip.
That was the most sexist thing that Granholm said.
Yeah, but women do this all the time.
Women.
I have powered through so many personal things.
On this very show, I've powered through stuff.
What a bullcrap.
Mothers.
Mothers power through.
And that was associated.
Here the thing is, let's remind everyone she's a woman.
Right.
Okay, we got that done a couple of times.
Right.
And she's powering through like a good woman would do.
Like a good woman.
And then she's also powering through like a good mother would do.
So this is very subconscious messaging that is extremely insulting.
Right.
And who are they kidding?
Yeah, it is truly.
Staggering up.
The one thing, like the Fox guy had the letter from Colin Powell talking about her staggering up.
Barely, he says, she looks beat.
Staggering up the stairs.
That's not powering through.
If she jogged up the stairs, that would be powering through.
The difference between men and women?
Women power through.
Men plow through.
You watch.
You watch.
I don't think so.
Okay.
I will put that down as a no.
We're not going to see...
I don't know what they're going to do.
This power-through thing is...
And that clip was just put together by the Washington Beacon.
I think was...
It may have been put by Jimmy Kimmel in the beginning.
Who knows?
I mean, he said...
Now, Washington Free Beacon does this.
They do a lot of these super cuts.
So we have, like, once it's revealed, where I like these sort of medleys is once they're revealed, it shows you now you're on the lookout for them.
I mean, we do that on our show.
Well, you're going to hear her say this several more times in this very interview.
She is really pushing this one, the power through.
Here is part two of the pooper.
This was instructions from a consultant.
Yeah.
Let's call it powering through.
And everyone will get it.
They'll feel it.
They'll feel good.
They'll feel good about her being a woman and a mother.
And here's part two of the interview.
Let me ask you, your husband said tonight in an interview with Charlie Rose, he said, quote, rarely on more than one occasion over the last...
What?
What?
I don't think so, poop.
Wow.
So he is just propagating the edit version.
Rarely, rarely, not frequently, rarely.
Let me ask you, your husband said tonight in an interview with Charlie Rose, he said, quote, He said, quote, Well, that is a partial quote, a misquote.
That is not an actual...
That's a misleading quote.
Same sort of things happened to her, meaning you, when she got severely dehydrated.
Can you say how many times over the course of the last, say, five years you've been dehydrated and gotten dizzy?
I know you passed out, hit your head back in 2012.
Is that what he said?
What do you think he said?
Gotten busy?
Dizzy.
Oh, gotten dizzy.
Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy.
Dehydrant, gotten busy.
Can we stop for one second and mention one thing that we had that I think is somewhat pertinent?
Hold on, we're stopping.
John has something pertinent.
We don't need the snarky guy in the control room to come in on us there.
I'm sorry.
She doesn't sweat.
Yes, yes, because she's a reptile.
She doesn't sweat.
She doesn't sweat at all.
So, none of this is...
She can't really dehydrate, necessarily, because you dehydrate from sweating and not drinking enough water.
She won't drink water, according to her staff, which we can bring that up in the conspiracy.
Scott Adams had an interesting theory, a hypothesis, he called it, and he says, this is not what I think is going on, but he says the hypothesis, he says, is an illness that he himself has, which is prorores...
Prororesis.
Prororesis.
Yeah.
Also known as shy bladder.
So his hypothesis was that she has a shy bladder, and that might fit in with some other behaviors we've seen with her on the debate stage.
And this apparently is something that's genetic, and then you cannot urinate while the people are around, and you get into trouble if you're drinking water, and then you can't urinate.
And so what you do is, or what Scott Adams says he does, is he purposely dehydrates himself, When he's doing speeches, which he doesn't do anymore since he started saying Trump might win.
I have that story if we need it for the show.
Go ahead.
I have the Scott Adams speeches story.
When I first met him, he was early on in his career and he talked about wanting to do speeches.
For everyone who doesn't know, Scott Adams is the cartoonist who draws Dilbert.
Yeah, Dilbert.
And he's got a high profile on Twitter and he's doing a lot of analysis of this campaign.
Of bias and confirmation bias and of, what does he call it, persuasion.
Yes, persuasion.
He's a hypnotist.
So he was, oh, speeches, that's what I want to do.
And he made a big stink about it because I was doing speeches and, you know, it was fun, kind of.
And so he decided he wanted to do a lot of speeches.
So he got a booking.
He booked a bunch of speeches.
I ran into him on one of the speeches on some tour.
Every so often you run into the craziest people because they're also on the same venue as you are.
And so he quit very shortly after this, I think, this one speech.
Because this was happening too often.
He'd go out and give one of his speeches, which he's a very dry sense of humor.
And he's funny.
He's a funny guy, but his humor is extremely dry and extremely cutting.
And he got one too many of the after-the-speech meetings.
Well, you know, our PR people have listened to the speech, and we felt that you were a little harsh, because we are a company run with a CEO, and to just...
This is the people that paid him to do the speech?
Yes.
Oh, boy.
So anytime that you do a speech, you get post-mortem by the people who paid you, and oftentimes you get these people...
And it's always a lolling.
Could you please go talk to him and tell him that we didn't really appreciate all of that?
We didn't appreciate the humor.
His humor was a little too close to home and we didn't really appreciate it.
It was too biting.
And so I guess he got chewed out one too many times in a kind and gentle way.
Of course, they don't chew you out.
They don't yell at you.
Right.
And it's really annoying.
And so he just says, screw this, I'm not doing the speeches anymore.
He was an idealist.
Yeah, in his little periscope thing in the morning, he said, well, you know, this could have been shy bladder.
Anyway, that's just something to know.
Let me ask you, your husband said tonight in an interview with Charlie Rose, he said, quote, rarely on more than one occasion over the last many, many years, the same sort of things happened to her, meaning you, when she got severely dehydrated.
Can you say how many times over the course of the last, say, five years you've been dehydrated and gotten dizzy?
I know you passed out, hit your head back in 2012.
It sounds like he said busy.
I think he's dizzy.
Back in 2012, which led to the concussion.
How often...
Hold on, back a little more.
Just for you.
Hit your head back in 2012, which led to the concussion.
Oh, fuck me.
Never mind.
Here it is.
Five years you've been dehydrated and gotten dizzy.
I know you...
Yeah, it sounds like dizzy, but I... He said busy.
I'm sure he means dizzy.
We know what he means.
Passed out, hit your head back in 2012, which led to the concussion.
How often has this happened?
Oh, I think really only twice.
Now, we have to listen very closely because I am now convinced that she's a pathological liar and we'll find out why I'm convinced of this now.
Well, I've always been convinced of it.
No, but this goes deep.
With me, this goes deep.
Pathological liar.
And so there's a lot of fuzzy terms and words she throws in there, as I can recall, and all these types of terms.
But of course, in complete contradiction to her husband, who said frequently and then kind of fuzzied that up.
Only twice that I can recall.
That I can recall.
Yeah, well you were out cold, maybe you can't recall.
You know, it is something that has occurred a few times over the course of my life.
So is a few, is that two?
That would be a couple.
Or a few, is it more?
So this has occurred a few times, and I'm going to presume that she's talking about her complete, her body going slack and having to be dragged.
It occurred a few times over the course of my life, and I'm aware of it.
She's aware of it?
Okay.
And usually can avoid it.
What is this condition?
What happened yesterday was that I just was incredibly committed to being at the memorial as a senator on 9-11.
This is incredibly personal to me.
And I could feel how hot and humid it was.
I felt overheated.
I decided that I did need to leave.
And as soon as I got...
Into the air-conditioned van, I cooled off, I got some water, and very quickly I felt better.
So I felt fine, but I'm now taking my doctor's advice, which was given to me on Friday that I ignored, to just take some time to get over pneumonia completely.
You know, a lot of people have obviously seen the video of you being helped into the van.
That's the next clip.
Okay, so there she is saying, well, I just need some help, but once I was in the van, I had some water, the air conditioner, it was great, felt perfect, but I don't understand her comment, which is something I'm aware of.
This is not something that has showed up in the doctor report, some condition that has her fainting, A lot in her life.
It's very odd.
So let's go to the next.
Pooper, of course, follows up appropriately.
Did you actually faint?
Did you actually pass out or lose consciousness?
No, I didn't.
I felt dizzy.
and I did lose my balance for a minute.
That's not what I saw, dude.
Did you see that she just lost her balance, John?
Was that your experience?
I thought she was going to collapse.
She did collapse.
It was an actual collapse.
Okay.
Or lose consciousness.
I mean, I thought she was going to collapse before they even moved, or she was falling to the side.
Right.
So he is saying, did you lose consciousness?
Now, we can't tell, but it sure looked like she was pretty unconscious.
Did you actually pass out or lose consciousness?
No, I didn't.
I felt dizzy, and I did lose my balance for a minute.
But once I got in, once I could sit down, once I could cool off, once I had some water, I immediately started feeling better.
And my daughter lives nearby, so I went over to her apartment and, you know, spent time with her and my grandchildren, which, you know, is the best medicine for anything in my life.
Okay, we're going to get to that in a moment.
But now we go to the original cover story was very interesting as everyone started jumping up and saying, well, you know, yeah, I wasn't feeling well.
Yeah, I felt, you know, I hadn't been knowing you.
All her staff was like, oh, there's been something going around.
You know, she's not the only one.
Different staff!
I think Robbie Mook even said that.
Oh man, I wasn't feeling good.
I was out for a week.
So everyone's covering, including...
A lot has been made over the course of the last week or so about the cough you've been struggling with.
You blamed it on allergies, joked at one point you were allergic to Donald Trump.
Was that cough actually pneumonia-related and not in fact allergy-related?
Well, it sure seemed like it was an allergy because I've had allergies, seasonal allergies off and on, and it does come with a cough.
You know, I've got lots of examples of, you know, in the spring and in the fall, getting a bit of a coughing fit and then it dissipates.
What happened this time, though, was it didn't dissipate and that's why when I got off the road on Friday, I did go to see my doctor and that's when I was diagnosed with pneumonia.
And the funniest thing that happened to me on Sunday...
Funny!
Funny!
It wasn't a funny day, after all, but this was kind of humorous.
Humorous.
When I got to the memorial, I saw my friend and former colleague, Chuck Schumer, and the first thing he said to me is, I've had pneumonia, and I've been resting for five days.
And I looked at him and said, you know, that's so funny.
I've just been told I have pneumonia.
So, apparently, there's something to this that's going around.
Oh, apparently.
And I've since been contacted by, you know, a number of people who've told me they have had it, they've gotten over it.
Alright, so this would mean, the way she's saying it, this would mean it's a viral infection, that people are getting this.
There's something to it.
No, if she took antibiotics for a viral infection, that would be some sort of a medical violation.
It has to be a regular pneumonia from bacteria.
Okay, so...
Nobody ever said viral pneumonia.
She's taking antibiotics, so it has to be...
But what she's saying is a number of people...
But we're ill.
Chuck Schumer had pneumonia.
So apparently there's something to this.
There's something going around.
That makes no sense in even our simple medical analysis.
Here's Chuck Schumer.
Fantastic.
And New York Senator Chuck Schumer says he too recently had pneumonia but recovered quickly with rest and a lighter schedule.
Donald Trump wished her well.
All right.
So that was out there.
Oh, Chuck Schumer.
Oh, I had it too.
By the way, the way Chuck Schumer looked at her, I looked at all the pictures.
I mean, it really looked like he was happy she's going to die.
That's the look he had on his face.
Okay, so, the thing that...
Go ahead, go ahead.
I didn't see that, but go on.
It's a funny comment.
So she gets into the band, and I've been looking at this video a million times.
Okay, there are really only four Secret Service agents.
All the other people are her personal security detail who drive the van.
These are not Secret Service guys.
If you look at this video and you really focus, the Secret Service guys look like Secret Service guys.
they got you know the drab suit on they got the black tie even the even the women and there's four of them and they are protecting her getting into the car they're not helping her no that is you there's a guy with a big loud stripe tie that is not secret service okay and the bald guy that is also not secret service you can even see their pins they have they do not have secret service pins they have little shields so i think they're probably uh you know off-duty cops or something like that, but they are, yeah.
And don't forget to mention the big black guy who walks around with a syringe.
He's always right within three feet of her.
Now, what we initially thought was her nurse...
Is not her nurse.
This is the chief operating officer of the Rubenstein Agency.
And I'm sure you know the Rubenstein Agency.
I don't know the Rubenstein Agency.
Ah, the Rubenstein Agency is, I think it's, what is his name?
Is it David Rubenstein?
Let me find out.
Howard Rubenstein.
Howard Rubenstein is, I mean, this guy is the connector in New York City.
In fact, I have a pretty good article here.
So he's a PR agent.
To be the chief operating officer of a PR agency is not really a big deal when it's really about one guy.
His clients, George Steinbrenner, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Ron Perlman, Larry Silverstein, Leonard Lauder, Michael Bloomberg, Charles Kushner, Jerry Spire, Dan Tishman, who else?
Ed Koch, Chuck Schumer.
You know, he's a connector.
In fact, this is very interesting when you know the connections here.
His firm, for example, simultaneously represented the Tobacco Institute and a cancer hospital.
And he represented both Leona Helmsley and Donald Trump when the two were publicly sparring.
And there was an...
Here it is.
It was Rubenstein who found a suitable rental for longtime client Rupert Murdoch while his $44 million Fifth Avenue apartment was under renovation.
He dialed up another client, Donald Trump, who was more than happy to help out.
He also negotiated the pact between Murdoch and Mort Zuckerman.
This guy is a real connector.
And PR. Now, was she...
Was this...
The woman is Christine Falvo.
F-A-L-V-A. Now, is this the woman that was holding Hillary's fingers?
Yes, yes, yes.
That is the woman.
Okay.
That was, oh, this is her nurse and this is a neurological check.
No, that is not true.
That is not true.
What was she doing?
Well, she was accompanying her.
First of all, no one...
Okay, let me back up.
I 100% believe...
Hillary Clinton wanted to be there.
It was a personal issue for her.
She wanted to be at this ceremony.
She was, of course, wearing these nutty blue glasses, which are Zeiss Z1 lenses, which are, you can see in the show notes, I have pictures.
It is literally the same glasses, the same round lenses, everything the same blue, which are marketed specifically for people with epilepsy or other seizures.
Seizures.
Yeah.
If a seizure will trigger something.
So that so this really was her really being there, really wanting to do this, even though she knew she was not feeling well enough to do it.
And this woman, the Christine Falbo, she worked for Clinton several times throughout her career.
In fact, she came out of school and then, you know, was a an aide, a staffer.
And then she went on to become a first just staff at the PR agency.
And now she's the chief operating officer.
So I believe she is actually a friend.
I don't see any nefarious connections with Rubenstein necessarily, but I gave you the information because I think it's OK.
I think that you're probably correct with this analysis.
Okay.
So she's a real friend.
And no one else wanted to go with her.
Huma didn't want to go.
She wants to stay out of the limelight.
Bill can't stand the heat.
That's true.
So she was along as a friend, a very concerned friend.
In fact, when you see her walking, you've seen the picture, and she's holding her arm...
To me, that was more like a motherly thing.
Not necessarily stabilizing her, although that may be part of it.
But just like, you know, I know it's bad and it's rough and it's a bad day.
I'm sure she was personally affected by 9-11.
Maybe because, you know, everyone had something to do with it.
I don't know.
But she was feeling bad about it.
Good.
So then we see this video.
We see all these things.
She's in the van and she goes to her daughter's house and comes out.
Now, this was a very, very irritating scene to me.
And it took me a long time to figure it out.
Because everyone said, it's a body double!
That's not her!
Oh, look at it!
It doesn't even look like her!
Very different ass!
Everything's what?
She's wearing black.
Well, let me just mention a couple of things.
When she came out of that building, I mean, why was the Secret Service already positioned out there in a large perimeter?
I'm going to reveal all.
Okay, good.
Well, so let's just stick with the body double for a second.
These are the conspiracy theories I've learned to be careful with.
It's like, you're seeing video, you're seeing pictures.
That's very hard.
Oh, her middle finger is longer than the real Hillary's middle finger.
You know, the other thing I noticed is there's a lot of comparisons with a re-aspect ratioed video showing her.
She looks like she's 130 pounds in one of them.
Now, Tina, the keeper, she said, this is not the same woman.
And women look at women differently, I think.
And she said, I can see the bottom half is different.
She said, well, I really don't know, because what you said, aspect ratios, angle, there's a million things that could, what lens was used?
It could be photoshopped.
A million things that could disprove that.
You really need a little more conclusive proof.
I believe it was a body double.
I'm going to tell you why.
I am thoroughly convinced of this and I have my own evidence.
First of all, the reason why she comes out and there's no Secret Service is because it wasn't Hillary Clinton.
So that's easy.
The child who was pushed up to take a picture staged.
Again, no Secret Service.
It was not Hillary Clinton.
Okay, now I want to stop you.
Okay.
There was plenty of Secret Service.
No, no, no, no.
Not when she walked out of the door, into the van.
There was no Secret Service, John.
And I want you to go to...
CBD.GrumpyRadio.com CBD as in ClintonBodyDouble.GrumpyRadio.com Okay.
A chat room you can play along.
CBD.GrumpyRadio.com Can you come up with something shorter?
No.
Just type it.
Type it.
Server not found.
Then you didn't do it right.
Obviously.
Let's try it again.
CBD. I can just send you the link if that's going to help.
Grumpy.
Radio.
Radio.
Dot com.
All right.
All righty.
You there?
Yeah, I still get server not found.
It must be something different.
Jeez.
Hold on.
Okay, send me the link.
Yeah, I'm going to send it to you right now in the sky.
Find it here by the reflection.
Jeez.
I didn't, I was, this is ruining my whole life.
Oh, there it is.
Couldn't body double.
Ah, you got it.
Okay.
Now, what you see here, let's take a look at this picture, because the proof that this is not Hillary Clinton is in plain sight!
Plain sight!
And actually, down below, I also have pictures of her at the 9-11.
You see that?
There's Christine, and she's holding onto her fingers, and you see her there, walking right behind Christine Falwell.
You see those, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Now, the picture, the first two pictures on this page, you see Hillary with a dude and then two other dudes.
These are not Secret Service, John.
Okay, you're saying they're her personal guys.
Yes.
Look at the tie.
There's no way Secret Service does not wear that tie.
And look at the pin.
It is not a Secret Service pin.
Okay.
Now, down below.
I'll buy that they're not Secret Service.
I was very befuddled by the fact that they weren't walking out because those guys hang close.
Yeah.
No, no, they're off.
They're off to the side when they're walking along.
They're way off to the side.
Yeah, but they're coming out with the woman.
But the baldy guy is also not Secret Service.
Notice the pin.
Wrong pin.
Notice no earpiece.
It's not Secret Service.
These guys...
And look at the tie.
Wrong tie.
This is not how Secret Service looked.
Go back at the video.
You'll see there are four Secret Service agents, and that's it.
Okay.
So I grew up with women.
I love women's clothing.
I love women's fashion.
I love shopping with women.
Somebody make a clip of that for me, please.
I'll write it down for you, even.
I'm not ashamed.
I'm not ashamed.
I love women's clothing.
I do.
It's so much more comfortable.
No, I don't wear it.
Oh, you've confused me.
So I've grown up with women all my life.
I know behavior.
I think I'm an expert.
I have some standing.
Okay, we're giving you the credit for that.
You've got standing.
Now take a look at Hillary's pictures, the two bottom ones, and then the two top ones, and tell me if you can spot the difference!
Besides the fact that her hand's way up in the air?
Yeah, that's not it.
Uh, okay.
So we don't belabor the point?
What is the difference?
Oh, wait a minute.
I see one difference.
Okay.
She's got her purse on the other side.
You fucking nailed it.
Women do not switch shoulders for their shoulder bag.
Never.
They do not switch.
They carry it on one side.
It's comfortable.
That's what they do.
And you show me a picture of Hillary Clinton not wearing her purse or even holding her purse in her left hand except one picture I found where she's walking next to Obama.
So when you come out And you're all comfortable and feeling great, and you've got the purse on your non-comfortable side, that's the proof.
That is not Hillary Clinton.
No woman does that.
I stake my reputation on it.
That's a good one.
I'll give you one point for that.
One point.
I would have normally given you ten points, but you're so cheap with points.
To me, I'm only giving you one.
Alright, I'll take one.
And that, and so now, here's the deal, people.
Do not tweet this!
Be quiet about this!
This is the no agenda secret.
If it gets out there, she'll start doing it.
She'll start wearing on the right side.
This is our tell.
This is how we know when it's not the real Clinton.
Well, the thing that made me think, I mean, when I saw the woman, I just thought that the smile was wrong.
Oh, the teeth work is different.
But all of that is, you know, you can argue that until the cows come home.
Purse on the other side.
I want women to say, oh no, I switch all the time.
I bet you maybe it's 1% of women who do that.
Hillary Clinton is a left shoulder, left hand purse wearer-bearer.
That's who she is.
That doesn't change.
Every photo.
Every photo!
Good one.
You would have been a good analyst for the pickle factory.
Who says I'm not?
I say.
So, there for me is irrefutable proof.
Please keep this amongst ourselves.
Please.
If this gets out far and wide, then...
There's other tells that we'll figure out.
No one's going to be able to keep this a secret.
This is a beautiful tell.
I gave you already the one lone point.
Man, you're harsh.
Yes, great.
From now on...
Well, 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 Body Double Dvorak!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Good finish.
In the morning to all the ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
And in the morning to everyone in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
Good to have you all here.
In the morning to...
Let's see.
Sir Paul Couture, who actually set up, maintains, and runs the No Agenda Art Generator, noagendaartgenerator.com.
He came in with a piece.
And yeah, he came out with not just the weekend at Bernie's, but he added a little extra dimension.
As far as I'm concerned, we were one of the first people to do this.
I saw other versions of it.
And he photoshopped George Soros and Blankenfine from Goldman Sachs onto the guy's head who were holding her up.
Yeah.
We thought that was pretty funny.
It was good.
It was very funny.
Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can submit, and we appreciate the work that all our artists do.
There is a lot of good stuff.
I did use for the newsletter The Barking Dog.
Yes.
If you had the thing open, you could tell me who the artist was.
No, I didn't.
I think it was Cesium or Mark, maybe.
I don't know.
Mark G or Cesium, whatever the number is.
Cesium 137?
128?
No, it's 137.
Hold on.
Let me see.
With the barking dog?
Let me see if I can find that one.
There's a lot of extra art that showed up.
But I used that because that is one of the most striking images we've had for a long time.
And we couldn't use it for that particular show because there was something funnier.
But I really had to use it.
And so I put it on the newsletter.
There was no Bubla donation.
Yes, there was.
Oh, I didn't find it.
Yeah, funny.
Yeah, there wasn't.
Some people spotted it.
All right, we'll talk about that later.
First, let's get with our executive and associate executive producers who help sponsor and make this show what it is.
Yes, and we want to thank them profusely.
Hell yeah.
Beginning with Pat the Prick.
Oh, I can't wait for this.
Pat the Prick.
Yeah, what does he have to say?
I have to go dig.
Unfortunately, when I was listening to you, I didn't dig up his email.
But let's go dig it up.
Yeah.
I don't think I have one from him.
He sent it twice, as a matter of fact.
Okay.
Let's see if I can get his name right.
There he is.
Knighthood.
Knighthood.
All right.
Yeah, he's got...
This is $1,111.11.
Wow!
Holy moly!
From Garden Grove, California.
Hey, guys, love the show.
I've been a fan of John C. since the Tech TV days.
And later, when he was on that show with that guy, I got heavy into all of the people involved with Tech TV during the middle and high school.
So he's in middle school and high school listening to...
Tech TV. That's your audience, man.
And Adam, since listening to No Agenda, I'm just as big a fan of you.
Heyo!
Nuff nostalgia.
Life is hard for a while.
I dropped out of it all to focus on college and surviving the move to a different state by myself.
But recently things have slowed down and I was able to check in on what people I admire were doing.
I ended up hitting myself in the mouth about four months ago and I have to say it's actually what I needed.
Thank you for providing this much needed service.
I have had the best job opportunities recently and I feel that no agenda is to thank for that.
So I would say yes.
And the reason for that is to stop for a second.
It's because we get you so you're not thinking like the masses.
Like robots.
Yeah, like robots.
You stand out from the crowd.
Adam gives us a super long, super crazy, shut up, say this is what he's asking for.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Back.
I have had the best job opportunities in the agenda to thank for this, so I'd like to give a jobs karma out to all listeners out there.
My only other request is that at the end of this donation segment, Adam gives a super long, super crazy shut-up slave.
That is hilarious.
Oh, during the jingle.
Oh, okay.
And he said he'd like to be knighted, Sir Pat the Prick.
Is he on the list as such?
No, because how could he be?
And he wants to request sake and skanks.
It's so acceptable.
Keep up the fantastic good work, you old bastards.
Hold on.
I'm writing it down.
Pat the prick.
Sir, Pat the prick.
And he needs the sake and skanks in there.
Sake and skanks?
Okay.
Is that...
No, we'll put it on.
Sake and skanks.
Nice.
Nice addition.
Nice addition to the round table.
It's beautiful.
It's gruesome.
Thank you.
Keep up the fantastic work, you old bastards.
If you're ever in the L.A. area, beer is on me.
Right on.
And then, how the hell do I get my ring?
The link you provided a few shows ago went to nothing.
Uh...
Noagendanation.com slash rings.
And I'm going to de-douche him too.
This is his first donation, correct?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
You gave him a douchebag, now you gotta deduce him twice.
You've been deduced.
Well, you were confusing me.
We'll deduce him.
Blame the co-host.
Deduce him twice.
You've been deduced.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
All right, thank you, Pat the Prick, to be knighted later on.
You left one thing out.
No, that's at the end of the segment he wants me to do that.
I know what he wants.
The shut-up slave thing.
I know what he wants.
I know what he wants.
All right, Vera...
let's see, this is Nakara Greif in Port Orchard, Washington.
Happy birthday to my handler.
Oops, I mean my husband, Stephen, who turned 33 on September 14th.
He has taught me so much, but most importantly, he hit me in the mouth three years ago.
And I'm forever grateful this contribution, along with my others, will give him knighthood status today.
I don't even know if he's listed.
Oh, yes, I guess he is.
Yes, and you know what?
I sent I think I sent Eric a follow-up.
There was a follow-up email because he found out about it, I believe.
Hold on a second.
I have to look at this now.
But Eric didn't put that in.
I hope it wasn't like doing an anonymous thing because that would suck.
Let me see.
No, it wouldn't because you would have the pronunciation of her name in there.
It has come to my...
It's definitely not anonymous.
It has come to my...
Come to my attention, my wonderful wife has made a substantial donation towards my knighthood.
She gave away the spoiler on my birthday early this evening.
I hit her in the mouth a few years ago, and she saved me from a bout of serious douchebaggery and directed a few associative executive producerships my way in the meantime.
I can't say much about what it is I do for a living, but if I could be referred to as Night of the Unfriendly Skies, I think you would get the reference.
Did he put that in?
Night of the unfriendly skies.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Well, hold on a second.
Let me see.
I'm not going to try to deconstruct what he does for a living, but he's in Port Orchard, Washington.
Yeah, where these people live doesn't matter where they work.
I guess.
Okay.
Anyway, we got him on the list.
Well, karma needs a karma.
I mean, these people need karma.
Come on.
Karma.
You've got karma.
Karma.
Do we have a...
Okay, night of the unfriendly skies.
Okay.
Next is Anonymous, who sent in a check for $333.33 with a little note on it that said, keep doing what you're doing.
Alright, thank you.
We will do just that.
It's just that simple.
Joseph Amato in Northport, New York, 281.55.
Love the show.
I'm long overdue for a donation.
We need you guys around to keep everyone honest.
I guess there's no chance that Jesse Ventura would stand in for Hillary.
I would love to hear the clippity-clop jingle from a few years ago in honor of Hillary, or he says Hitler-y.
I would like some karma from my buddy Donovan.
Thanks for doing the reading and media clipping, too, so I don't have to.
You don't have to read this part, and he talks about his donation level.
Okay, so he wanted clippity-clop.
And some karma.
It's clippity-clop.
The message is clear.
Just clippity-clop.
You've got karma.
Chris Perry, 250 bucks.
We're both at the associate executive producer level here with Joe and Chris.
250 bucks, parts unknown, just top donations to become a knight.
She's knighted me as Sir Selvarin.
Knight in exile.
Exile from California.
All right.
Nice.
Thank you.
Also, here's an extra 250.
Does he need a karma?
I just want to give everyone a karma today.
It's good.
You've got karma.
Karma's on me!
Clyde Perry.
I mean, it was Chris Perry.
Lauren Smudski in Pleasant Grove, California.
$240.
I do have a note, but the note is like a two or three page screen.
War and Peace.
Yes, War and Peace.
It's pretty much War and Peace.
And he didn't expect it to be read because he actually sent a donation in pieces and he got to $240 because he also sent a bottle of wine.
Oh.
I'm just giving him credit for that.
So he gets credit as an associate executive producer.
He thinks the show is great.
He is an independent...
He's a farmer.
All right.
And he has all kinds of theories that we kind of have, too.
And...
I may boil it down and read it as a separate item.
I'm going to give him some farm karma then.
Give him some farm karma.
You've got karma.
Not to be confused with farm karma.
That's something else.
He did turn me on to a winery I didn't know anything about.
Michael Spence, which is, you know, it can happen.
Michael Spencer in Atlanta, California, $233.33 for my birthday, 929.
I've chosen to be supportive.
Finally.
All right.
So I've gone to an associate executive producer credit plus podcast license.
Going to work my way up to knighthood.
I would love to hear a Dvorak fave and a Curry fave combo.
Thank you guys for all the hard work you do.
What do you want?
Well, you know, the one, you know, my favorite, I'll play it again because we haven't played it for a while, is Everyone Share a Secret.
I like that.
Okay, Share a Secret.
Comes to mind.
What should I? I don't know.
What should I do?
I don't know.
Pick something.
I know.
Just push the button.
You've got this big board of all these.
Just push.
Close your eyes and push.
I'm still looking for the secret clip.
What is going on here?
Why can't I find the secret clip?
Everybody join hands.
We're not competitive.
Everyone join hands and share a secret.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, here it is.
Yeah.
Tell a secret, not share a secret.
Tell a secret.
And then let me see what I can get.
Let me pull something out.
Come on.
Just do it blindly.
Come on.
Okay, okay.
Well, hold on.
I'm going to do it blindly.
I won't look.
I'm just going to pick something.
And here's yours.
Oh, 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.
You've got karma.
Figured one of the last times we can play that since they've now become Bayer.
They've got to keep the brand.
Don't kid yourself.
Sir Tyler Fox in Munich, München, Deutschland.
Bayern München.
Guten Tag, Bayern München.
Bayern München.
München.
Whoops.
In the morning, it looks like I'm missing the deadline for Sunday's show, but luckily that's not how no agenda karma works.
Last time Adam guided a tactical job karma missile my way.
It was a direct hit!
The karma I need...
Okay, I got it.
The karma I need is worth the...
This time it's more important.
Please send some karma to that sweet, sweet, sweet apartment hunting karma over to Munich.
We discovered a massive mold growth.
Most likely penicillium.
Usually that's not what it is.
Growing through the wall directly behind it.
Unless it's blue.
If it's blue, maybe.
I had that in my house in New Jersey.
And there was just one piece of the wall, probably about a foot in diameter, that was just ill.
And you could do whatever.
It would just start to ooze and bubble.
It was just very scary gook.
We've been constantly sick for three months, yes, and the doctors couldn't figure out why.
Did you mention this?
Now we know we have to get out of here ASAP as my wife is deathly allergic to penicillin, explaining why she's been much more sick than me.
We found the perfect place, which is, you know, any of these moles will make you ill.
Yeah, it's bad.
Tell me about it.
It's very difficult to grow penicillin on plaster, I think.
I could be wrong.
Somebody can send me a note telling me I'm full of it.
You need some karma to help keep the looming legal battle with our current landlord from screwing up getting a new place.
I've also finally figured out why my baron name.
I figured out my baron name.
Please dub me Sir Tyler Fox, Baron of the Middle Finger Erection.
Bada-boom!
Yeah.
I don't have a geography area I feel is home yet, so I can have an industry as my profession.
No, no, as protectorate.
He wants, instead of an area, he wants an industry as his protectorate.
Oh, he wants the industry.
Okay, I'd like to have a business, aviation industry as my protectorate.
Thank you for everything you guys do.
Happy birthday to Adam, by the way.
Thank you.
Here is some non-mold awesome 133 square foot karma.
You've got karma for your apartment.
Okay, let's see if we have any email from James Wolmacher.
Wolmacher.
W-O-H-L-M-A-C-H-E-R. James Wohlmacher, donation note.
Right.
Astonishing.
Greetings, gentlemen.
I'm able to afford the donation of my recent success.
By the way, Wohlmacher gave us $200 for today's show of 860.
You need to be associate executive producers in Pittston, New Jersey.
I'm able to afford the donation due to my recent success playing Magic the Gathering, the world's oldest and most popular trading card game.
Okay, now I have to stop here.
JC, Buzzkill Jr., has a friend who is a professional Magic player.
Now, I don't know anything about this.
Yeah, well, join the club.
Let me finish what he says.
Most popular trading card game.
I've long enjoyed listening to the show while traveling to magic tournaments.
This is another sub-site.
This is one of the many things that goes on in sub-cultures that we just don't know about.
And after many years of practicing this hobby, it finally started to pay off for me.
Now I can return the value I owe from countless hours of being entertained on the road.
Because he has to travel.
Keep up the good work.
Now magic is...
I can't explain what it is.
You can look it up in the Wikipedia.
But this guy, who is JC's...
It's a brother of one of JC's best friends, is a professional magic player.
M-A-G-I-C? Just as you...
Yeah, just like the word magic.
And he is...
It sounds to me that he's making like a half million to a million dollars or something playing this game.
Holy moly.
And this is like some of these other games, there's these things, these subculture things and people, they have these tournaments and people flock to them.
Hmm.
And I have no idea.
He's having to explain to me a couple of times anything about this.
Oh, well, that's easy.
John at Dvorak.org.
Do not...
Hey, I got a guy I know, a professional.
He could explain it to me.
I never bothered to ask.
Okay.
So, no.
I don't want any email.
But it's some crazy, crazy thing that is extremely popular, and I guess somewhat addictive, but now we have another potential professional who's a No Agenda listener.
Are there costumes involved for this game?
No, no, this is something, this is not Dungeons and Dragons, this is not dress up, this is not cosplay.
Magic the Gathering.
Magic the Gathering, I'm told, is what it's really called.
Magic the Gathering.
I'll have to look this up.
Sounds like another fun hobby.
Sounds like something you should do.
Anyway, James gave us $200.02 just to make sure.
And did he need anything like a karma or something?
I think a karma for his magic play has got to go.
Magic the Gathering karma for you, sir.
You've got karma.
There you go.
Alright, now we have...
I don't know what to do here.
This is a guy in Pearl City, Hawaii of $200.
No.
No, that's who you just did.
Now what?
No, he's $202.
That's James Wallmacher's $202.
This guy has got a special note.
John DeMoss.
Oh, Jordan DeMoss.
Gotcha.
Okay, Jordan DeMoss.
Oh, I understand.
Oh, I get it, I get it.
Okay, he's a 32-year-old black DJ who rides a Harley in Amsterdam.
Why not?
He says, my real name is John Holden.
I'm a 32-year-old black DJ who rides a Harley in Amsterdam.
That's all.
Oh, wait, one more thing.
Jason David is a douchebag for not donating.
Douchebag!
Even though he's white people rich and knows he can afford it.
And I can explain.
This is all stuff from the Night Attack show.
I revealed my original DJ name when I was a pirate in Amsterdam, and I had this persona.
I was black, I was 32, rode a Harley, and my name was John Holden, even though I was 17, geeky, and I rode a moped.
I can't see you on a moped.
Theater of the mind, everybody.
That's theater of the mind right there for you.
Hey, this thing won't stop!
I used to have a couple of motorcycles and I drove a moped once.
What kind of moped?
I thought it was the most dangerous vehicle ever I ever put my butt on.
It was unbelievable.
It has gutless...
And couldn't stop.
The thing with mopeds growing up in the Netherlands, you couldn't drive until you were 18.
There's no driving when you're 16.
And most people flunk the driving test at least once.
It's very difficult to get a car.
So when you're 16, you can ride a moped.
And a moped is determined by a certain amount of horsepower, but specifically, you can only have 50 cc's, or really 49.99 cc's the size of the engine.
So we would change them out for 70cc cylinders.
We put huge carburetors on with big air ducts to suck it in.
I mean, these things were going 100 miles an hour.
It was amazing.
Very dangerous.
I'm amazed I'm alive.
Yeah, you could again kill it.
Oh, I'm amazed I'm alive.
Yeah.
Well, you're...
Anyway.
Although now that you've admitted that you did...
You were a DJ in blackface...
I don't know if anyone can trust you.
Well, people kept calling up saying, hey, can I talk to the black DJ from America?
I was like, okay.
Were you doing a voice?
No, it was just me.
I was doing an English show in Holland.
You weren't doing some sort of a Pastor Reverend Manning thing or anything?
No.
It's too hard to do that voice.
No, I was just me.
People thought I was black.
Let me give a little karma there.
You've got karma.
And I want to thank everybody for all our executive producers and associate executive producers.
Very good list today.
Thank you.
This is exactly the kind of support we need.
And I like the crossover support from Night Attack.
Very good.
Now you're talking some independent media right here, people.
Helping each other out.
Doing the nasty.
See, there's my black.
You won't get the analysis of Clinton's body double from that perspective.
No way.
Because he likes women's dresses.
That's right.
Anywhere else.
That's right.
I mean, you will now.
Yeah.
Well, hopefully we can...
No, no, no.
Just forget it.
It's done.
These are real credits.
You can use them anywhere.
Credits are accepted.
Your LinkedIn profile seems to be a good place.
And of course, we'll be thanking everyone else who came in with $50 or above in our second donation segment.
And we have another show coming up on Sunday.
Please remember us at...
And while you keep it a secret about the body double, please be propagating the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Shut up, flame!
Shut up, slave!
So, what did Chelsea say when Hillary showed up at the apartment?
I give up.
What did she say?
She said, Mom!
Who's this other woman?
I saved one clip because I didn't want it to detract from what I feel is good analysis of the body double.
Now, this could be fake.
It's like ambient recording.
The television is far away.
It's very hard to hear, hard to see.
But apparently this aired on WABC-TV in New York.
Pennsylvania.
Good evening, everyone.
I'm Sandra Fulcester.
And I'm George Horowitz.
We begin with the breaking news about Hillary Clinton's death.
Oh, yeah.
Could you hear it?
Yeah.
You got the breaking news about Hillary Clinton's death.
I don't know if that's true or not.
There was a couple of...
Apparently CNN had reported this too by accident.
It was just one of these things that happened.
Some rumors.
Right.
But we should at least finish off with a couple of the conspiracy theories that came out.
But before we do that, I did want to say when I heard that clip, the first thing I thought was to myself...
Hey Self, what happens if a presidential candidate withdraws or dies before the election's over?
How does that work?
Well, the DNC just picks anybody.
But wait, here's the interesting part.
So I just decided to go Google that.
The very same morning, Washington Post had done a huge deconstruction of what happens, how it works if a presidential candidate dies.
MSNBC, also, same thing.
Everyone's like, oh, well, this is...
Now, for that to come out...
On the same day as this takes place, was a nice coincidence.
And they were all talking about her dying?
No.
No.
It's generic.
What happens if a presidential candidate dies?
And you're right.
The DNC basically chooses a new candidate.
There's some issues with constitutionality as it pertains to the electoral college.
But it is something that someone else is thinking about.
It's just coincidence that they put this in now.
Well, they would be thinking about it because I'm sure there was a big rumor that floated all over the place about it after that report came out.
Well, there you go.
Okay, so you've got some more stuff here to finish up.
I've got some more stuff.
I wanted to talk a little bit about some of the conspiracies, but let's get rid of some of these clips.
This is the one that kind of amuses me.
This is Democracy Now!
And this is Amy.
Let's call this Spot the Flub.
Ah, yes.
News from the campaign trail.
Hillary Clinton says she'll release more medical records after she fell ill with what her doctor described as pneumonia and dehydration.
On Sunday, Clinton was seen abruptly leaving a ceremony in Lower Manhattan commemorating the 9-11 attacks.
Video showed her stumbling as Secret Service agents helped her into a van.
Clinton says she's feeling much better, yet Sunday's episode has set off a wave of speculation about whether the Democratic Party may replace Clinton as the candidate.
This is ABC commentator Cokie Roberts speaking with NPR Morning Edition host David Green on Monday.
It's taking her off of the campaign trail, canceling her trip to California today.
It has them very nervously beginning to whisper about having her step aside and finding another candidate.
That is no small thing to say.
Is that a real thing?
Is it just some nerves after a weekend of...
I think it's unlikely to be a real thing, and I'm sure it's an overreaction of an already skittish party.
This comes as former Democratic National Committee Chair Don Fowler says the Democratic Party should draft up a contingency plan in case it needs to identify a replacement candidate.
On Monday, Fowler told Politico, quote, I think the plan should be developed by 6 o'clock this afternoon.
After the article ran, Fowler, who has backed Hillary Clinton, clarified he was only calling for a process to be drafted up, not for a replacement candidate to be named.
The DNC's rules allow for the party to name the replacement candidate ahead of November's election.
Okay.
Before you say a single thing...
Even though you're mean to me and say that I'm stingy, there's no way I could not let you have Clip of the Day for this.
Clip of the Day.
I have not heard this anywhere on television.
I know it's your beat, but dang.
Yeah.
Dang.
And did you catch the flub?
After the article ran, Fowler, who has backed Hillary Clinton...
I mean, they want her to be president even if it's her brain in the jar in the oval.
Yeah, it's going to be like the Futurama.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Her head will be in the formaldehyde.
Wow.
Good one.
Good one.
No thanks.
You got more?
Yeah, I'm sure you have more.
Yeah, see, there's a couple things here.
There's also some Trump stuff.
I watched the press conference with Josh, and there was a bunch of good stuff in this press conference.
By this one woman, I don't know who it is, but she's very aggressive, and she's obviously got a lot of seniority because they let her ask question after question after question.
This is the White House press conference.
The White House Josh Ernest, yes.
And so, and she's aggressive and she keeps asking her stuff over and over.
She's more like Matt over at the State Department at the press conference.
And she's a very good looking reporter.
I don't know who she works for.
I can figure it out.
I've seen her before.
And I think Josh has a crush on her.
Oh, okay.
Because there's a kind of a, you can just see this twinkle in his eye when she's asking him questions.
And he's pretty emotionless.
Yes.
He's got a smile on his face when he's talking to her.
Wow.
So there's something going on with this woman.
Let's see, where do I have these clips?
No, it depends on the pluribus.
Sorry about this.
I do have a...
Actually, before we play her, let's play...
What kind of setup is that?
I'm all ready for this.
You're right, you're right, you're right.
Don't make the director get on the horn.
Okay, yeah, anything but that.
Okay, where is she?
This annoys me when this happens, by the way.
That's okay.
Trump Foundation, Trump Trudeau.
How about Guy Punched an Audience?
No, but play that while I'm looking.
Okay.
Donald Trump is continuing to attack Hillary Clinton over her comments Friday, calling half of Trump supporters, quote, a basket of deplorables.
This comes as a new video has emerged of a Trump supporter punching an anti-Trump protester as the protester was being escorted out of a rally in Asheville, North Carolina.
In March, one of Trump's supporters was caught on video sucker punching an anti-Trump protester at a rally in Tucson, Arizona.
Donald Trump has said he'd pay the legal fees of his supporters, who also said the next time he might kill the protester.
That's the story in Asheville.
Yeah, this could be a setup by the Clinton people, too.
You don't know what this is all about.
Okay, this is on Russia at the press conference.
I just misnamed it and screwed it up.
There it is.
Hold on, I'm sorry.
Now I screwed it up.
Okay, on Russia at the press conference.
Yes, I got it.
On Russia, when the president was speaking yesterday at that political rally, he spent a lot of time talking about the comparison of Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin.
Is there a reason he spent an amount of time doing that, given how delicate the diplomacy is with Russia right now on this serial deal, given that the U.S. is now agreeing to share military and intelligence with Russia?
I know they're not there yet, but it came to that agreement and the president signed off on it.
Doesn't he worry that that would damage the very fragile agreement?
No, the President's not worried about that.
I think the President's comments yesterday say a lot more about the Republican nominee than they do about the Russian President.
Is there a reason he spends so much time talking about Putin?
Well, again, I think the President's comments speak for themselves.
I think he thought that was a rather illuminating declaration from the Republican nominee to compare himself to somebody who Republicans, or at least the type of leader that Republicans or at least the type of leader that Republicans have historically expressed deep concerns about.
Yeah, in the 50s.
Yeah.
Give me a break.
I mean, George Bush was great pals with Putin.
Hang out with the guy.
This is nonsense.
Wait, wait.
George Bush was pals with Putin?
Oh, that's right.
At the ranch.
You're right.
Yeah, Putin and them were hanging out all the time.
Yeah, they were.
They rode bears together.
You're right.
Well, let's stay at this press conference, because this guy, this other reporter, I thought had one of the really funny trap questions.
You know, Obama's been making a big stink about, because he's on the stump for Hillary, about Trump not releasing his tax forms.
So this guy dug up a piece of the law that I don't think anybody knows about, and they kind of hushed it up, and they kind of overlooked it.
I think the scandal of the story is that this particular law actually exists, because we're always told that.
In reference to what?
This is about Trump not releasing his taxes.
Ah, okay, gotcha.
So this guy came up with a very interesting trick question, and listen to this tax code trap question.
Okay.
Josh, nice to see you here.
Good to see you.
Oh, what a setup.
Nice to see you.
Put him off guard.
I don't know what he's going to do, but that's what you do.
A couple questions on the President's comments in Philadelphia yesterday about Trump's taxes.
Is it fair to take from the fact that he brought this up, I believe, twice in the speech, that the President believes that it's important or valuable for voters to have information on Trump's taxes or to see those returns before they go to the polls?
Well, the President believes that there's an important tradition in American politics.
For decades, candidates in both parties, in the spirit of transparency, have released their tax returns.
I know Secretary Clinton has done that, and the President believes that that's important.
So in that vein, you probably don't have a copy of the Internal Revenue Code up there at the podium, I think.
I do not.
But under Section 6103G, the President...
You brought it with you, though.
I just cut out that.
Upon written request by the President signed by him personally, the Treasury Secretary can furnish to the President or to employees of the White House office the President may designate Well, I've
heard of this I think it is rather unlikely that the president would order something like that.
Why?
It's a great idea!
If there's more on this with regard to our position...
He is stumbling badly.
I hate you.
Why?
Oh?
Clip of the day.
Nailing it.
I'm on a roll.
You are on fire!
The interpretation of the statute will consult the lawyers and let you know.
But you'd say it's rather unlikely because that would raise other concerns or because of the history of the White House and release of tax information under prior presidents?
Well, I think there are a couple of principles here.
Certainly one thing that is important and certainly something that's been prioritized in this administration is making sure that the work of the IRS... Is not affected with even the appearance of political influence.
And in this regard, obviously the President has made clear that he's a strong supporter of Secretary Clinton and the presidential race.
I think the second thing though, Josh, is this.
No other presidential nominee in either party has ever been compelled to release their tax returns.
They've all done so voluntarily.
There's been no reason to resort to obscure sections of the tax code to try to find a reason to force them to release these tax returns.
My goodness!
Why wouldn't the president do that?
That's great!
Well, there's a couple.
One reason he wouldn't do it is because it would just draw attention to the fact that right now it is not being reported very well, but I caught it on C-SPAN. I didn't make a clip.
I could have, but it was a little boring.
Maybe I'll bring a clip for the next show.
They're trying to impeach the head of the IRS because he has not done anything, apparently, about all these things that Lerner did, which was scamming the whole country.
Yeah, deleting emails as well and making life difficult for people.
In the process of them trying to impeach this guy, and they were all in on it, so I think they're going to manage to at least get it to the floor.
They said that Lerner got full pension, even though she's a massive screw-up.
Yeah.
Well, government job, baby.
It's great.
Yeah, well, it was that.
Okay.
Any more on the elections?
Well, yeah, you know, I want to just talk over a couple of these things that are going on with the conspiracy people and the Hillary thing.
All right.
Starting with the, and I want to go through every one of them just quickly.
Okay.
First of all, there was the handcuffs theory.
That her friend had her handcuffed.
Yes, and in fact, if you look at the video of her stumbling around, and somebody pointed out to me that you can see that she had her hands behind her back, and you can actually see her hand behind her back.
And I put these, the photos you email me, I put them in the show notes so people can take a look themselves.
And supposedly she was arrested?
And they let her walk to those cars before they handcuffed her somewhere.
And she didn't want to get in because she was going to go away.
And she didn't want to get in.
She didn't collapse at all.
This was nothing but her fighting it.
Okay.
Not going in.
They threw her in.
I would have bought into that as a possibility had I not seen the purse.
But okay.
Well, that doesn't make a swap around.
No, it fits with the purse.
It does.
I don't think...
Yeah, it works fine with the purse.
So the other one is she was poisoned.
Wow.
Why the Russians?
Because the Russians poison people.
That's the Russians.
The Russians are big poisoners.
Yeah.
So she was poisoned.
And you can look up Hillary poisoned and you'll find a bunch of stuff on Google.
And that's why she doesn't drink water.
Staff's always irked because she won't drink.
You know, she doesn't want to take a chance that the water's been poisoned.
Oh.
And she doesn't have a trusted taster?
I guess she doesn't have a trusted taster.
She doesn't trust anybody.
Especially in the Secret Service.
Right.
Because they hate her.
They hate her.
Another one is she's got Parkinson's.
Yeah, I've heard this.
There's a lot of stuff on the Parkinson's, and it's all over the place.
Swallowing and all that stuff.
Yeah, and the main thing is done by this guy who does kind of a fake news report.
He spent some money to get some sets and stuff for his little operation, and it's called New News Network, I think.
Oh, yeah, I see that.
And he brings this one doctor who's the big proponent of the Parkinson's thing, even though he says it's not a diagnosis, but...
And then he lists everything.
And then it's very convincing.
It's very good.
And then there's another spin-off of that.
It's not Parkinson's at all, but it's some neurological disorder that's very specific.
And I sent you a link to the video.
Is this the deep vein thrombosis?
Yes.
Well, no, no, no.
That was something else.
That's another thing that she had, but this is a cortical, it's a neurological thing, pure neurological.
And this is actually very convincing because one of the elements is you get pneumonia.
And I thought that was good.
And let's see, is there any other ones besides the handcuffs of drinking water?
Oh yeah, this one is the last one.
I think it'll be the last one.
She's got either a colostomy bag.
Yeah, I've heard that.
Or a leg brace.
Or a, and she's got a brace and a colostomy bag, or it's not a colostomy bag, it is a catheter, and the catheter drips down so she can pee, like you said earlier.
Right.
She's peeing in a bag, which is down on her leg, and it's been identified by various photos that show from different angles of lump in her pantsuit.
She's always covering her legs for a lot of reasons, I'm supposing.
But mostly to cover up this bag of pee, which she's walking around with.
Well put.
I have to say that...
Before you say it, the piece of metal that fell on the ground, and I think it came out of her pants, it's not completely clear.
Very bothersome.
You hear the thing drop on the ground.
You know, someone said, oh, it was the leg of one of her glasses broke and fell on the ground.
No, because the body double had the glasses on when she came out, so the glasses did not break unless there's two glasses.
Two pairs.
But still, that just doesn't make sense in the story.
But that was troublesome.
I have no idea what that is.
Well, and that's when she kind of leaned to where that came out.
She kind of leaned like she didn't have a knee or something.
Maybe she has a missing knee.
The brace, to me, made sense.
Like a Forrest Gump thing, and it broke.
I don't know.
It happened at the same time her knees buckled.
Yeah, and then she lost a shoe.
But anyway, these are the common conspiracy theories that are floating around about her.
Very good.
And I would say, compared to Trump, they've done, instead of doing a number on Trump, They just call him an idiot and a clown and a moron and a douche and a cheat bastard.
They have a whole report trying to, you know, because they were bringing up the Hillary Clinton Foundation, they decided to go with some guy at the Washington Post.
Yeah, we're going to go after the Trump Foundation.
So they're going after the Trump Foundation, and this is the beginning of it.
And this is on PBS, so we're talking about...
By the way, PBS should stop bringing Washington Post people on their show.
Washington Post is not trustworthy.
I was at the dinner table recently with my daughter, and I think somebody else mentioned this.
They were talking about taking a class.
It was a history class or some class, and the teacher said you cannot use the Washington Post as a source.
Because it is unreliable.
So here's the Washington Post guy trying to make a case against Trump, and it is so weak.
I mean, yeah.
Turns out, I'll explain a couple of things.
I didn't clip the whole thing because it was long, but let's listen to the beginning of it.
is catching heat for how his foundation has functioned.
I'm joined by David Farenthold of the Washington Post, who has spent the past few months digging into the Republican nominee's history of charitable donations and his lack of personal contributions to the Trump Foundation.
David Farenthold, thank you for talking with us.
Tell us first a little bit about the foundation.
How is it set up?
How is it different from other foundations?
Well, it's quite a small foundation.
Trump started it in 1987.
And in contrast to other people who have about as much money as Trump does, it doesn't have very much money in it at all.
The most money it's ever had was about $3.3 million in 2009.
The money it has now is about a million dollars total.
So there's no paid staff.
The board of it is just four Trumps, Donald, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, and one Trump Organization employee.
They all work for no pay.
They work half an hour a week.
The most unusual thing about it is not just that it's small, but whose money is in it.
Donald Trump hasn't put any money into his own foundation since 2008.
Instead, he's got other people to donate, and then he sort of gives their money away to people who are under the impression that they're getting Donald Trump's money.
So, when you say other people have put money in, what sort of people are we talking about?
Well, a lot of them don't want to talk, but the biggest donation you can see in tax filings is from Vince and Linda McMahon, the WWE moguls.
Trump was on WrestleMania in 2007, and in that year, in 2009, the McMahons gave a total of $5 million.
Now, we know that was not Trump's payment for WrestleMania.
He got paid separately.
Okay.
Okay, now a couple things before I can tell you what went on after this.
I'll jump to the chase and say it appears as if Donald Trump's a cheap prick.
Okay, let me stop there.
He doesn't give to anybody.
And a cheater.
Well, he might be a cheater.
I don't know about that.
But...
This is interesting because this guy had to take it with a grain of salt because he starts his little thing at the beginning with the most it's ever had in it was $3.3 million in 2009.
And he says that very clearly at the beginning.
Then he says in 2009 the McMahons gave $5 million.
So why would it be $3.3 million?
What happened to the other $1.7 million?
Good question.
So he's already at the beginning of this whole spiel.
He's like loose with his facts.
So this is not what a good investigative reporter does.
He's loose.
He's loose.
This is a Trump hit piece done in the Washington Post.
I'm sure it's a wonderful hit piece.
But it's dumb.
I'm Mr.
990.
It's my beat.
I look at the tax filings.
The Clinton Foundation 990 in tax filing is Charles Ortel's beat, charlesortel.com.
You want to look at him.
But GuideStar, which is where I look up all the 990s, They have recently, because I've looked this up previously when talking on the show, oh, Clinton Foundation, you know, top star, top awards from Charity Watch and all these very small organizations, which are really one-man nonprofits, and they get about $250,000, and, you know, gee, it's from the Clinton Foundation.
So, you know, we have to discount those.
But GuideStar...
They rate the Clinton Foundation now as platinum, and they came out with an article.
Tina, of course, sent this to me.
She's in the nonprofit world.
Yeah, I saw this, and I have a comment if you don't have it.
Okay, so the main thing is, because everyone's asking us about it, we have some key differences here between the Clinton Foundation and the Trump Foundation, and the main, of course, they're saying the main thing is size, size, Whereas the Clinton Foundation has assets of $354 million compared to the Trump Foundation's $1 million.
The Clinton Foundation had total expenses of $91 million versus $596,000 for the Trump Foundation.
The Clinton Foundation has 486 staff compared to zero staff at the Trump Foundation.
Now, one other thing, one point I want to make.
The idea, and this was on the white gay Hillary channel on Sirius, the white gay guy Hillary channel, Progressive 127.
They're saying, yo, this is unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Trump has a foundation that collects money from other people and he gives it away like it's his!
No.
The Clinton Foundation does exactly the same thing.
They take money from other people and give it away and take all the glory.
It's the same thing.
Although, of course...
The Washington Post guy, as he went on, this is the point he kept pounding home.
And that's where they got it from.
The Washington Post guy went on about, oh, he's collecting money from other people and giving it away and then taking credit for it.
Yeah.
And what is your question about the GuideStar node?
The guys starting to know which put them in platinum.
Is that right?
Yeah.
I think if I'm not mistaken, that's the operation that's got the 990s.
I think they rank all these guys.
They've never ranked the Clinton Foundation before, if I'm not mistaken.
That's what I'm saying.
I've looked at it many times.
There's a little thing there that says history.
There's no history of this platinum.
It's just now.
So they've been bought off.
Oh, yeah.
Or the Clintons really cleaned up their books and they roll out this, hey, look at this.
It's clean as a whistle.
Yeah.
Well, the issue with the Clinton books, the Clinton books are okay.
That's not the problem.
One, the organization is not approved for what it does.
I think GuideStar messes up by not actually checking the registration.
It's for a library.
It's not for AIDS, drugs in Africa.
So it's incorrectly registered, which is important because the IRS will only...
This is according to Charles Ortel.
You've got a foundation.
Great.
What's it going to do?
It's going to do that.
Okay.
You have to stay within those boundaries.
You want to change that?
You have to alert the IRS. As far as we know, this has never happened.
And then the real problem is you need to look at the numbers from the other organizations that donate to the Clinton Foundation.
And we have many examples where 50 million leaves one NGO, go to the Clinton Foundation, but only 30 million shows up.
What happened to the other 20 million?
Yeah, that's what Ortel's got.
That's what Ortel is doing.
Exactly.
So these guys can go on with it.
And I think it's funny.
I wish you'd get some clips from those guys on 127 because it sounds hilarious to me.
But yes, everyone's all over there.
I will get you some clips of these guys.
Okay, I'll do that.
I would love to hear something.
I do like your description, but I would like to hear it.
I have to tell you, every time I take a shower, if it's during the day, in the afternoon, sometimes I shower in the afternoon, I'll take my little Bluetooth speaker and I'll put on the white gay guy Hillary channel and I shower for hours.
It's so much fun.
I'll get that for you.
Well, let's go to the story that's really irksome, and I don't see anybody mainstream covering much of it.
You can get it if you look up Steubenville Rape on Google, and you can find the story.
I saw the CBS website has it.
I didn't hear it.
I'm sorry, for that matter, except Democracy Now!
And I just think this is an out...
You know, people made such a stink over this guy at Stanford Swimmer and all the rest of it who, you know, apparently raped an unconscious woman at a party while everyone was drunk.
Right.
And it was all over the news.
Big deal.
This guy's ruined for life.
Meanwhile, this hacker who uncovered the Steubenville, Steubenville, Ohio rapists who are a bunch of football players that the it was a high school football players that was uncovered by a guy who hacked into a bunch of emails in the Facebook accounts, I guess, and reveal what was going on.
And then the whole town turned against the hacker because they like these their football team.
They don't care about the – apparently a girl who was raped, 15-year-old raped, and then committed suicide because she was humiliated in a small town.
We don't care if a football player cold cocks his wife in the elevator, drags her out.
We don't care.
Sit on the bench for a game.
So here we go.
A hacker in the US state of Ohio is facing as much as 16 years in prison for allegedly exposing the rape of a minor by high school football players.
Derek Lostata has pleaded not guilty to four felony counts of hacking in connection with the rape case.
In 2012, he reportedly hacked the local school website and posted video online ultimately exposing the rapists.
Party took place in a small town in Ohio known as Stubonville.
At this party are a list of men named in the preliminary docs below who took part in the kidnapping and rape of a 15-year-old girl.
This video is to document the proof for the masses.
The town of Stubonville has been good at keeping this quiet and their star football team protected.
According to the indictment, Lostata is facing three counts of unauthorized access to a computer affecting interstate communication and one count of making a false statement to the FBI. His revelations allegedly showed the rapists sharing posts on social media, joking about the rape victim and referring to her as the dead girl.
Two students were convicted and imprisoned for up to two years but have since been released for good behavior.
Now, Lostato's attorney told us what makes hacking so much worse than rape in the eyes of the law.
The government is obsessed with controlling information and having total control over information over its citizens and anything that they view as a threat.
To that control of the information, which hackers of course are, because hackers seek to set information free.
Whatever you think about the information that they're setting free and how they're doing it, that's one of the main modalities of hackers.
That's a threat to the government's control over information, and the government seeks to punish that very, very harshly.
I'm sorry, I said democracy now, perhaps, but that's RT. I'd love to give us the needle.
I just thought that was one of the most disgusting situations.
Well, this is what's really bad.
This is what's really bad about it.
So you have these football players that have done this.
We've got the guy who cold-cocked his wife, girlfriend, dragged her out.
And I was like, eh, whatever.
But guy kneels for the national anthem.
Everyone loses their shit.
Why?
We have a sad, sad public.
Hold on, I have one tie-in here.
This is a clip sent to me by one of our producers, Genonymous.
And...
It took me a while to figure out why he thought it was an important clip.
This is on ESPN, which you know I didn't get that clip.
Megan Rapone, she's a soccer player, and is she on the women's US team, I presume?
I think she was one of the stars.
Yes, and now she has also decided she is going to kneel before the flag, which was what it originally was, but of course now it's the national anthem.
But she brings us back to the First Amendment issue in a very interesting way.
Are you ready for the backlash, if it comes?
Yeah, I am.
I feel like what I'm doing is right.
Do we want to live in a country where someone exercises their First Amendment right?
Whether you agree with it or not, or you think it's offensive or not, that they're called the N-word, the C-word, a bitch, anti-American, whatever.
Is that the kind of discourse that we want to have?
Is that the kind of conversation that we want to have?
So she says something very interesting.
He says, are you worried about the backlash?
She says, no, I'm not.
Do you want people exercising their First Amendment right, calling me the N-word, the C-word, bitch?
It kind of sounds like she's saying that should not be protected speech.
That she's on the right path by kneeling, but everyone who exercises their right to free speech and calls you a name, as long as it's not slanderous, they should shut up and that can't happen.
Very odd.
I think, yeah, this is a missing the point moment.
If you want to express free speech by not standing for the national anthem, and by the way, I did get a letter I don't have it in front of me.
I should probably put it in the binder.
I need to get it.
I'm working with a binder.
I think this is the setup to hate speech is not free speech or something like that.
Well, I got it.
This is an aside.
Okay.
A guy sent a note.
He said, don't use my name.
I'm a lawyer.
Oh, no.
It's his lawyer.
He sent him a note.
He asked his lawyer a question.
The lawyer sent him a note back.
He forwarded me the note from the lawyer.
Oh.
That code, the U.S. code that you were discussing, where you have to use it, those are all suggestions, and it's not codified in a way that is required.
Say that again?
Say that again?
The point, the law that you cited that you're supposed to stand up with your head.
Yes, yes, yes.
U.S. Code.
It's written as a suggestion.
Yes.
If you read it carefully, you don't have to do any of that.
Well, U.S. Code in that case is, if you read it carefully, no, it says what you should do, but U.S. Code in general, you know, there's no fines or punishment if you don't do it.
Yeah.
I think we pretty much got that one.
Yeah, I think we'd be dead to death.
But I think there's the moment where you think it's okay to kneel and not pay any attention to the flag.
And again, my feelings about these militaristic kinds of things at a sporting event, commercial sporting event, as opposed to the Olympics.
Yeah.
If you're going to do that and somebody calls you certain dirty names, they've got the same rights you have.
Yeah, I think you're right.
This woman's expressing that, which is that hate speech.
Hate speech.
Can't call me whatever I am, a C word.
That's what she said.
See you next Tuesday.
But yeah.
Okay.
You got anything else?
I'd like to move to a new topic.
Well, I got a money topic if you want to move to that topic, if you know what I mean.
No, I'd like to...
Okay, well, I do have a money topic.
Just cue me when you're ready.
Money topic coming soon.
We're going to go long today, man.
I got to tell you right now.
No, I don't want to go long.
Well, geez.
Okay.
We still have a donation segment.
I can't help it.
Okay.
Snowden.
Snowden, Snowden, Snowden.
This is one of your favorites.
The ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union, who is a very odd organization, in my opinion, they have come out with a...
With a new campaign?
We believe this is precisely the time for the U.S. President to act.
President Obama is in his final months of his presidency.
Presidents normally take some of the most difficult actions of their eight years in office in the final months.
Ed's case has affected the rights of millions of Americans and hundreds of millions of people across the globe.
And so it's the public pressure on the president to help him see that the acts of Ed's whistleblowing merit a presidential pardon that we think and why we advise Ed that this was the perfect time for launching a presidential pardon campaign.
Okay, so it's the PardonSnowden.org, a presidential pardon campaign to pardon Ed Snowden.
Ed Snowden was at the event, although, of course, he wasn't at the event.
He was on video, which I have a little clip from.
And he not only is the nose guard still missing from his glasses, which he only seems to wear for U.S. appearances, not when he's just hanging out roaming around in Russia...
But they're askew.
I mean, it's literally crooked on his head.
Very, very...
Not a good appearance by Ed.
And listen to the emotion.
I don't know where we're going from here.
I don't know what tomorrow looks like.
But I'm glad for the decisions that I made.
And I'm thankful to all of you who are supporting me and believe in the same.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined three years ago such an outpouring of solidarity.
But even though I'm far from home, your company, your support...
Keeps me company in exile.
Oh, my goodness.
Can I ask a quick question?
It's just a point of information, as it were.
Yeah, of course.
Pardon him.
In what way?
Ah, you're jumping the gun.
You're jumping the gun.
Yeah, jumping the gun.
Point of information.
Well, I'm obviously not the only one because I wouldn't have thought of it.
Well, no, this, of course, went to the White House briefing.
Josh Earnest.
Mr.
Snowden has not been convicted.
Of crimes with regard to this particular situation, but he's charged with serious crimes.
And it's the view of the administration and certainly the view of the president that he should return to the United States and face those charges, even as he enjoys the protection of a due process and other rights that are afforded to American citizens who are charged with serious crimes.
That's right.
If you're not charged, there's nothing to pardon.
You are right on the money, John.
Right on the money.
Now, why is this campaign by people, lawyers, ACLU has lots of lawyers, why do they set this up?
Why in the world would they ask for a presidential pardon if they know it's completely unrealistic because there's nothing to pardon?
Why?
I have a guess.
Okay.
More money, more money.
Close.
Okay, that's my only guess.
The modern battlefield is everywhere.
Are they watching us?
There's something inside the government I can't ignore.
They're going to come for us.
Are you going away?
Snowden, rated R. That's right!
The movie's coming out, of course!
Yeah, but why would you have anything to do with promoting the movie?
Oh, maybe they get a piece, maybe they get a donation.
Come on!
This commercial aired in the commercial block after I saw this piece.
Oh, that's pathetic.
It really is pathetic.
It's so pathetic.
But yes, that's what happened.
Movie PR, people.
Movie PR before your very eyes.
Yep.
We spotted that early.
Alright.
I'll let you do one more before we have to go to a break.
I've got to keep you tight.
Well, how about Wells Fargo?
Now, let's stop for a second and remember, Wells Fargo just scammed the American public out of millions of dollars, and they got a slap on the wrist of a $180 million fine, I think.
Compare the fine to the bonus they gave this woman, and by the way, she's like a Sheryl Sandberg, lean-in woman, who was behind the scam.
Thank you.
And next this evening, a massive payout for the head of the Wells Fargo division, where workers created phony accounts in their customers' names.
Kerry Tolstead is retiring with high praise and a package reported to be worth more than $124 million.
Just as the bank eliminates the sales goals that caused its workers to open more than 2 million unauthorized accounts in their customers' names, which cost those customers billions in fees.
Yo, yo.
Good work, lady.
Unbelievable.
Where's the racketeering charge?
Well, this, of course, is Pocahontas' outfit that levied the fine, but where's the arrest?
This is absolutely...
Or they should be rounding him up and sending him to Rikers.
Alright, you know what we'll do now?

That was the question.
I'm going to play it for him now.
I'm going to play it for him now and give him a karma.
This guy deserves it.

Portia's pissed, yep.
Paul, from my days running the old Club 33, Porsche was a very popular name.
Yeah, it is.
I think it's spelled P-O-R-T-I-A. No, but it's spelled differently.
Well, the real Porsche's name is P-O-R-T-I-A, but I can see some stripper naming herself Porsche as the car.
Oh, yeah.
I've been working with him at the club.
I know, you know about the club.

Garamay Broom.
Well, he's from Brazil.
His note says, Hi, Adam and John.
I'm a long-time listener, first-time supporter.
Okay, hold on.
We'll deduce you for that.
You've been dedouched.
Lately, I've found a special interest in your cast podcast because I was offered a position in our company's factory in the U.S. I'm from Brazil, and the visa process takes some time.
Well, you are welcome.
You are welcome, Guilherme.
You'll be welcome as a citizen.
Come on in.
Yeah, well, the Brazilians and the Americans have had a beef forever, and I don't know why, but it's been going on.
No one from either council that can explain this to me, because I've tried to get to the bottom of it.
So he's actually having, this got cut off his note.
I know what's going on.
He's having a miserable time just getting into the United States, because I guess if all the countries in the world are filled with terrorists, Brazil's not one of them.
That's interesting.
I didn't know this.
Yes, this has been going on.
And would you want to get a thing to go to Brazil?
Because they're doing...
It's like, well, you did that to us.
We're going to do that to you.
They make it miserable for you because we're making it miserable.
We started it.
Yeah, I want him to send me an email with the full story, adam.curry.com.
Yeah, he'll have it.
I'd like to know about that.
It's terrible.
So if you're going to go to Brazil, you have to take a month to just get a visa.
Really?
Not to mention a working visa.
Yeah, it takes a long time.
And you need a visa to go to Brazil?
I didn't know that.
Yes, why is that even true?
Why do you need a visa to go to Brazil?
They're not in the visa waiver program either then, I guess.
No, it's ridiculous.
Okay, listen.
Anyway, it's just...
The Brazilians...
Our producers will tell us what's going on.

I want to thank all those folks and everyone that donated lesser amounts for helping us out with show 860.
And a quick request from one of our knights, Sir Rory Stone.
And we always break for knights.
As you know, this is very important.
And let's see.
He says...
Lost my dude named Ben job, and I'm in need of job karma.
Episode one, listener, long time night.
Going to listen live tomorrow would brighten my low spirits to hear the jingle of the bells.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yeah!
You've got karma.
And there you go.
Remind everybody, another show coming up on Sunday.
Dvorak.org slash N-A-M. And here we see the Nikara Greif says, Greif, I'm sorry, says happy birthday to her husband slash handler, Stephen, who turned 33 yesterday.
Michael Spencer celebrates on the 29th.
Get in there nice and early.
And Tabitha Spinuza says happy birthday to her husband, Joe, celebrating today.
We could not be happier.
Happy birthday to you from all your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe.
Bam!
All right.
Oh, I want to do titles, but we need a...
I feel we have these title changes, people moving to Baronet or Baron or further up the chain.
We need some kind of jingle sound effect.
We need something like we have a knighting sound.
I feel it's important.
Even though we mentioned the title changes...
I'd like some kind of sound effect.
I'd leave that up to the person.
Or a little song.
Upgrade, upgrade.
Something like that.
Something like that.
That would be pretty pathetic, but something like that.
Yeah, I guess it would.
All right, so we have title changes today.
Sir Andrew Lemesny becomes Baron of America's Mountain.
And he claims El Paso and Teller Counties in Colorado as his protectorate.
That seems to be okay.
Sir Tyler Fox becomes baron of the middle finger erection, and he wanted the industry, right?
Which industry did he want again?
Uh...
You went in the industry, I forgot what it was.
I have to go back.
Yeah, I feel kind of bad that we already forgot the industry he wanted to be a part of.
Sure, it wasn't Pete the Prick that wanted the industry?
No, I don't think so.
Or Pat the Prick.
Pete the Prick.
Here it is.
No, I guess, no.
Kym or Karma?
No, it's just he wants to be Sir Tyler Barron of the Middle Finger Erection.
Okay.
I forget what that was.
Well, we'll figure it out.
We can always fix these later.
Okay.
Good.
Well, in that case...
Somebody wanted to protect her.
We're on to the...
Woo!
Blade, present, arms!
Here you go.
73s.
73s.
Hey, we got a nice list today.
Come on up.
Stephen Greif, step up, mighty good sir.
Chris Perry, please join us here on the podium.
And Pat the Prick, all of you here by the lectern, I'd like you to kneel because you have all entered the exclusive club known as the Round Table of the No Agenda Knights and Danes, and we're very happy to bring you in.
And I therefore pronounce the KB, Sir Stephen, Knight of the Unfriendly Skies.
Selvarin, knight in exile from California.
And Pat the Prick!
Sir Pat the Prick!
For you guys, we've got hookers and blow-rent boys and Chardonnay.
Most importantly, we have sake and skanks.
And mutton and meat, of course.
Wow, ran out of time almost there in the ceremony.
Head on over to noagenternation.com slash rings and give Eric the Shill your information.
I'd like to go to the Euroland for a moment as we power through the last few minutes of the show.
That needs to be cut to music, too, by the way.
Claude Junker the drunker.
Euro commission.
Is it Euro commission president?
Big man on campus.
The drunk.
He's not really the top guy.
No, but he's drunk, and that's why he's funny.
I mean, there's a bunch of different guys, but yeah.
Well, he, you're about to hear a clip of him in German, but of course it's translated.
He is now proposing something, which we've been laughing about for many years, and was sworn up and down to all the citizens of the EU lands, that this would never happen.
We'll never do this, I promise you.
Promise, promise, promise.
This will not happen.
For the past ten years, though, we have proposed.
We participated in more than 30 military and civil missions carried out by the European Union, but we...
That's actually French-y speaking, I'm sorry, not German.
...European Union, but we don't have a permanent structure, and without that, we're not able to work efficiently.
We must have a European headquarters.
Yeah!
All right!
And so we should work towards a common military force, and this should be in complement with NATO. More European defense in Europe doesn't mean less transatlantic solidarity.
From an economic point of view, bringing together our military resources could be clearly We can use cooperation and that is something which is very useful because the lack of cooperation is something which is costing the European Union 20 to 100 billion a year.
So we must do something in this area.
Yes!
There you go.
EU military.
They promised it would never happen.
Not going to take place.
We're not going to withdraw from NATO, but we need our own headquarters.
We need our own military.
They got to spend more money.
Yeah, we saw this coming down Broadway.
Unconscionable.
Liars.
I think I want to educate the public a little bit here.
Wait, can I do one more Euroland thing?
Or is this also a Euroland thing you got?
This is a Euroland thing.
I just want to express.
This is the EU presidents.
I want to list them.
I want to tell you what they do.
Alrighty.
There's four of them.
Mm-hmm.
There's the President of the European Parliament, there's the President of the European Council, there's the President of the European Commission, and there's the Presidency of the Council of the EU. The Council of the EU, I think, is not even a government organization.
I don't know what it is, but there's nobody...
It's a lobbying organization.
European Parliament President is Martin Schulz.
He's essentially a do-nothing who just presides over the do-nothing parliament.
Well, it's the Germans keeping tabs on everything.
And the European Council President is Donald Tusk.
Ah, the Polish guy?
And he doesn't do anything either.
He sings.
And then the European Commission President, who is Jean-Claude Juncker, is the guy who oversees the commission.
That's the group, the commission, which is a bunch of paid bureaucrats that make all the laws and do all this stuff.
With nobody having any input whatsoever.
Well, unless it's a yellow or red card, then they can send something back from Parliament.
Red card, red card, change that, that's not okay.
Yeah, and so that's useless.
And so there's the president of the Council of the EU, and the Council of the EU, where national ministers discuss EU legislation, doesn't have anybody permanently.
It's led by a country holding the Council presidency, so this would be John Claude Juncker.
No, the Council, he's the commission.
So it'd be the guy who's, it'd be Donald Tusk.
Right.
And they're only in for six months.
So there you go.
Just so you know, this is a confused bureaucracy.
It's ridiculous.
You're back.
Yes.
Report from Euronews.
Actually, I did a podcast yesterday that was interviewed about Dutch radio.
And because it was a podcast, I decided to do it.
And he started off by mentioning the guys.
I know the guy.
I very well work with him.
He says, it's like it's 30 degrees here, centigrade.
So that's very warm for Europe, 30 degrees.
In fact, most people are very happy.
Well, 30 degrees is great.
We're loving it.
Much of Northern Europe has been sizzling in unseasonably high temperatures, sending people scurrying into parks and onto the beach.
In the UK, the Met Office recorded the warmest September day since 1911, with the mercury rising to over 34 degrees Celsius.
Notice they couldn't say warm.
Warmest year on record ever, but 1911!
In the south, not to be outdone, in Brussels, people also sought ways to cool off.
September is not usually a hot month, but some northern regions are experiencing temperatures around 9 to 12 degrees above normal.
In the Netherlands, as the experts were warning people to slap on the sun cream and to drink lots of water, for the children, it was playtime.
And it was the same story in Berlin.
Worldwide, this year is set to be the hottest since records began in the 19th century.
According to the experts, it's due to a build-up of man-made greenhouse gases and an El Nino event that has warmed the Pacific Ocean.
There it is!
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness.
El Nino?
El Nino.
Good work.
Don't be a denier.
The science is in.
Science!
Okay.
I did want to mention one more thing.
Two things, actually.
Sad, sad day.
Crazy Eddie died.
We were just talking about him.
I thought he already died.
Dead at 68.
We were just talking about him.
Yeah, we were talking about him recently.
You don't want us talking about you.
That's not good.
And the only other thing I wanted to say is...
Oh, this came out in an Austin newspaper yesterday.
This secret Apple campus.
Now, I believe I told you, I don't know if it was on the show or after the show, that Samsung has decided Austin is the place for their big new fab, for their chip fab.
Which is great.
You know, we have Amazon here, but now it turns out...
So I thought that what I understood was Apple had their customer service here, and they also, I think they were building the Mac Pro, which was the dustbin, you know, the round receptacle, which I don't know.
Is that even on the market anymore?
Can you still buy that thing?
It went the way of the cube.
I had the cube.
I liked the cube.
The cube I liked.
I thought it was great, but it had a hairline of cracks.
And it had some power issues, too.
Apple has now 6,000 employees in Austin.
Wow.
6,000!
Be careful what you say.
Their campus, 216,000 square feet, and a lot of these people are the chip design team, which makes sense because the fab is right here in Austin.
I did not know.
It also makes sense because that area happens to have an infrastructure milieu for chip design.
They had Texas Instruments there for a long time.
We've got Silicon Labs.
And you used to have Motorola down there, and they all, they were chipped, there's a lot of chip makers.
In fact, one of my good friends.
And I think Cyrix was another one that was in the Austin area.
Well, Silicon Labs is a big one here, and they're prominently placed in downtown Austin with salt and pepper buildings, really, you know, beautiful.
It's right behind mine, actually, the...
One of their buildings.
Get a pass to get in there.
I'm sure they serve free lunch.
It's better than that.
My friend Charlie, producer of the show, who took me flying when I first moved to Austin, Charlie Thompson, he's a retired chip designer.
So we can go in any time.
He knows everybody there.
Oh, just go in and get something to eat.
Okay.
Hey, Charlie, man, get me in until we get something to eat.
He's going to go, what is wrong with you?
No, he's not.
All right.
The ship designers are always looking for free food.
I have a four-clip finale.
Okay.
Wow.
So first of all, it starts off with Netanyahu making just crazy accusations that were very entertaining.
And so this is the no-Jews clip.
The Palestinian leadership actually demands a Palestinian state with one precondition.
No Jews.
There's a phrase for that.
It's called ethnic cleansing.
And this demand is outrageous.
It's even more outrageous that the world doesn't find this outrageous.
Well, I don't know if just no Jews means ethnic cleansing, but...
No, not quite.
So somebody at the State Department press conference got into the face of Trudeau about this to get her to, like...
You mean Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau?
Yeah, that one.
She is no good.
She should not be doing this job.
Oh, she's a little mouse.
She's just no good.
No personality.
She's terrible.
But here's what she had to say about that.
We obviously strongly disagree with the characterization that those who oppose settlement activity or view it as an obstacle to peace are somehow calling for ethnic cleansing of Jews from the West Bank.
We believe that using that type of terminology is inappropriate and unhelpful.
It's inappropriate and unhelpful.
You really shouldn't be doing this, people.
It's really bad.
So then we get back to Josh Earnest, the cute reporter who he flirts with.
She asks a series of questions.
And this is, and I think she was on the money, they have covered up the story as best they can.
And when Trudeau, I didn't see anything about her talking about this, but listen to this information that we haven't received in any place really in any sort of news way.
This is the $40 billion to Israel.
The Obama administration is about to give nearly $40 billion military aid package to Israel, which the State Department is calling the largest ever given to any country in American history.
Why aren't you talking about it here at the White House, given what a tough relationship, well documented in the public space, President Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu have had?
And what do you make of some of the complaints that it's not enough?
Well, I've only seen one person make that complaint.
I think most people, including the Israeli government, including AIPAC, which has not been shy about offering up their criticism of the Obama administration, welcome the completion of this agreement.
Obviously, the president made this a priority and identified the The completion of a new memorandum of understanding as a national security priority three years ago now.
This agreement represents the culmination of a lot of work and a whole series of difficult negotiations, but negotiations that ultimately reflected the shared Priorities between the United States and our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel.
Now, before you go to your second clip, I have some stats.
Of course, I read this.
Some stats and some questions for you.
First of all, it's not 40 billion.
The number is 38 billion over 10 years.
I think it's important that people don't just throw away 2 billion like that.
It's big numbers.
Well, now...
Well, let me read you the fact sheet, and then I'll shut up.
I just want to read you the fact sheet.
Annual payments of $3.3 billion in so-called foreign military financing.
Gotta love the number 33.
That's the magic number.
Gotta love that.
$500 million a year for Israeli missile defense funding.
This is the first time it's been built formally into an aid pact.
Phasing out a special arrangement that for decades has allowed Israel to use 26.3% of the USAID on its own defense industry instead of on American-made weapons.
I'm liking that.
Good sale.
Elimination of a long-standing provision that has allowed Israel to use about 13% of USAID to buy military fuel.
No, no.
No, no.
You're going to buy it from us.
And the funding will allow Israel to update the lion's share of its fighter aircraft, including purchasing additional...
F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, which don't really fly, Israel is scheduled to receive 33 F-35 aircraft, the first two of which will be delivered in December.
Yeah, they're going to deliver them via crate.
They're going to have to bring them over.
Here's my question for you.
Doesn't Congress have to approve this money?
Well, that's a good question.
I would think, I think as part of the, I think there's an aid package bill.
Briny would be better at answering this than me.
Yeah, Briny.
Send us a clip with you and a clip in it to explain it, please.
She'd be good at that.
But whatever the case, I said that.
You said that.
I meant to say it.
That 38, I think is 40, because there was, in the second part of the clip, this is mentioned, because they're starting to do this now more and more.
I find it annoying, because the woman is going on, but how come you guys didn't make a bigger deal of this?
You're not even talking about it.
And Josh Earnest does what he does.
He says...
Well, we talked about it in 2013.
That's when we started the process, and you should have been paying attention then.
And I've noticed they've been doing this.
We've talked about it on another show where they throw it back.
Oh, no, we talked about it.
And then she says, yes, but then it was 38.
Ah.
Okay, that's this clip?
But given that it is the largest ever in any country in the history of America, why isn't that happening here?
And given what you know has been a very politically heated issue, and this president has been attacked because of the Iran deal, his support that you just said on questioning towards Israel has been questioned by Republicans, by Israelis.
I mean, this has been a very heated issue.
It would seem that you would want to broadcast this a bit more.
Is there a reason it's being downplayed?
I would contest the notion that this is being downplayed.
The President announced the fact that we were going to pursue this memorandum of understanding at a news conference in Israel standing next to the Israeli Prime Minister.
That was back in 2013.
Well, listen, I think what we have made clear all along is that this is a priority.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
You stepped on her saying it was $38 billion.
I was laughing.
I couldn't help myself.
This memorandum of understanding at a news conference in Israel standing next to the Israeli prime minister.
And that was back in 2013.
Well, listen, I think what we have made clear all along is that this is a priority.
He doesn't answer that question, does he?
No.
Extra two bill just floating around.
Okay, I have here.
Congress must still formally approve the funding each year, but it is expected to put up few roadblocks.
Both parties in Congress have sought to outdo each other with displays of support for the Jewish state.
The previous 10-year agreement is set to expire in 2018.
Netanyahu and Obama both plan to be in New York next week for the UN General Assembly meetings, but officials have not yet announced any plans for a formal meeting.
Of course, that'll all take place at the CGI, the Clinton Global Initiative, which will spin up.
For when everyone's in town.
That's the secret little meetings we have, you know?
Yep.
That's good.
You know where I got that from?
I was listening to you and Horowitz.
I gotta call him.
I keep missing him.
The reason to go to Davos and all these things and CGI is so you can have meetings without a big deal about it.
I totally agree with your assessment of that.
Yeah.
See, it makes it easy.
You get to meet with five or six guys.
Otherwise, you'd be flying and flying and flying.
It's annoying.
And attention everywhere.
Nobody wants that.
Right.
You get too much attention.
Sometimes you don't want it.
All right.
Well, I'm done with my clips.
I'm done.
I'm done with my clips.
I'm done with my stories.
We're still just a tad long, but not too much.
And I apologize for that, of course.
I got a couple of cool end-of-show clips.
One of our producers made a mix of a famous George Carlin bit.
We got some other stuff.
Yeah, it's very funny.
I heard it.
UKPMX. Good people.
Good people.
Thank you all so much.
And thank you for supporting us with your intel, your information, your knowledge, your finances.
It is your show.
You're a producer.
And we appreciate the work of everyone who supports us.
Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. That's where I am.
And we'll be back, as I said, on Sunday.
So coming to you from the Crackpot Condo here in the Skyscraper, we're in downtown Austin.
It is FEMA Region 6 in Clayshire looking for us.
Good morning, everybody.
My name's Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, it's turning out to be a very nice day.
I'm John C. Devorak.
We will return on Thursday.
Sunday, I'm sorry.

One more spoon of coffee.
Yeah.
No.
No.
We have 63 days to go.
I like the bees.
It's Nick Pogba.
You know, when I came here 17 years ago and I said that I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the European Union, you all laughed at me.
Well, I have to say, you're not laughing now, are you?
You're not laughing now, are you?
We want our country back.
We want our borders back.
We want to be an independent, self-governing, normal nation.
Funny, isn't it?
But you know, he's a dud.
He's got no worries now.
He's just kind of like stoned.
Stoned.
Stoned.
What would you do if you were elected?
I don't know.
About Aleppo.
And what is Aleppo?
Are you kidding me?
No.
Aleppo is in Syria.
It's the epicenter of the refugee crisis.
Okay, got it.
Got it.
So what do you get out the brakes?
And what is the last?
Stone.
Okay, got it.
Got it.
So what do you get out the brakes?
Stone.
And what is the last?
Okay, got it.
Got it.
Stone.
Wow.
But, you know, he's a dud.
He's got no worries now.
He's just kind of like stoned.
Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned. Stoned.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.

I'm tireless and I'm wireless.
I'm an alpha male on data blockers.
Interactive.
I'm hyperactive.
From time to time, I'm radioactive.
I take it slow.
I go with the flow.
I ride with the tide.
I get blind in my shoes.
I don't snooze so I don't lose.
I keep the pedals I'm hanging in, There ain't no doubt.
And I'm hanging tough over and out.
Over and out.
Music Adios, mofo.
Amen.
Fist bump.
The best podcast in the universe.
