	And that is very thinning.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	And Sunday, September 18th, 2016, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 861.
	This is No Agenda.
	Canceling my New York cuisine cooking classes and broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State here in Austin Tejas, FEMA Region 6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm going to eat a giant bug on the show.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	You're going to eat a giant bug on the show?
	Yeah, just to see what it tastes like.
	What do you have?
	What do you have lined up?
	One of those, it's a locust, a deep fried locust.
	You want to do it right off the bat?
	I don't think I can wait for this.
	Really?
	I don't know.
	I mean, give me the background.
	I just got this giant locust to eat.
	Well, oh no, you know what?
	Let's keep it.
	Let's keep it until after the donation.
	No, you got me going.
	I just broke the seal.
	No, you can't do that.
	I think it's stale.
	All right, tell me, the background, where'd you get this?
	Where'd you get this thing?
	What's going on?
	Who's on first?
	Came in the mail under the Eat the Bugs program in the Berkeley area.
	Wait a minute.
	It came in the mail and you're going to eat it?
	Yeah, I'm going to eat it right now.
	Hold on.
	I love bugs!
	Woo!
	Bugs, bugs, bugs!
	Alright, ladies and gentlemen, Best Podcast in the Universe brings you...
	Tastes like poop.
	John C.
	Dvorak eating a cricket.
	Tastes like poop.
	All right.
	Who sent you that bug?
	Those are corn nuts.
	Ow!
	Ow!
	I mean, you should have just...
	Alright, nice.
	I don't know.
	I don't want to fool the public.
	Alrighty.
	Alright, good.
	You fooled them.
	I just want to know how it sounded.
	It sounded very authentic, I'll say.
	Very authentic.
	I was impressed for a moment until he was bogus.
	Oh, man.
	Okay, what do you have on New York City on this bond?
	I don't have any clips because it came in late.
	Yeah.
	But I do have the event that was supposed to happen.
	And then it flopped, so they did the New York event shortly thereafter.
	Oh, you mean this was in New Jersey?
	Yeah.
	This is not funny, actually.
	The Seaside stuff was...
	No, it's not funny.
	None of this is funny.
	I have friends who live there.
	Somebody planted a Seaside Park, New Jersey bomb.
	It didn't hurt anybody, which is the reason I think the other bomb went off.
	On the Jersey Shore, there was a mysterious explosion Saturday morning before the start of a charity race benefiting U.S. sailors and Marines.
	The FBI is investigating.
	Dave Carlin of WCBS in New York is in Seaside Park, New Jersey, with the latest Dave.
	Behind me is Ocean Avenue in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and right over there is where the device exploded.
	It was left in a garbage can along the route for a 5K run that benefits the U.S. Marine Corps.
	The blast came just as the event was about to kick off.
	It literally sounded like somebody lit a firework, you know, the big aerial fireworks off on the beach.
	No one was injured, probably thanks to the fact the run was delayed after a suspicious backpack was reported.
	That kept runners away from this area.
	The timing was truly serendipitous that they had only done the one-mile fun run, which turns around early, and they had not started the larger 5K. The race is canceled and everyone is urged to stay away from here while investigators search up and down the shoreline here, determining exactly what kind of device this was and searching for suspects.
	A whole army of investigators are fanning out, examining the device, questioning individuals, looking for surveillance type footage of the area.
	Neighbors and investigators thinking about what might have been, considering themselves very lucky.
	For CBS News, Dave Carlin, Seaside Park, New Jersey.
	So, here's what we had.
	We had this explosion in Chelsea, which is, I might point out, I would say that is characterized as a gay area in New York.
	I don't know if that's been brought up yet or not.
	We had a stabbing in Minnesota.
	Was it Minnesota?
	Minneapolis.
	Minneapolis.
	Yeah, Minneapolis at the mall.
	Then we had this in Seaside, New Jersey.
	To my knowledge, at least, it was impossible this morning.
	Although I heard about it last night, of course, as I was prepping.
	I turned on this morning.
	The one thing no one's saying is we're under attack.
	There was a pressure cooker bomb in New York.
	They found a pressure cooker with wires coming out of the top and a cell phone, which is a new version of it.
	Which is apparently some detonation device.
	I do have a couple clips that I picked up, even though it's very early, so there's not much we can say about this particular event.
	I picked this up.
	New York's local Fox station had some interesting things they were doing as they were reporting.
	They were on the street.
	I thought this was, in light of a bad event, I thought this was pretty funny.
	Debra, you were in the area when the blast went off, is that correct?
	Yes, yes I was.
	Where were you?
	I was in a burrito place, a vegetarian place, and the lady was fixing my burrito, and I was getting ready to sit down to eat, and all of a sudden, we hear a boom!
	I mean, it was loud, it shook the building, and everything, it was a bam!
	I have something just about you waiting for your burrito and hearing a boom.
	Did she say she was a vegetonian?
	Yes, she's a vegetonian.
	Let me listen again.
	It was a vegetarian burrito is what I heard.
	Debra, you were in the area when the blast went off.
	Is that correct?
	Yes, yes I was.
	Where were you?
	I was in a burrito place, a vegetarian place.
	I write this down now.
	Show title.
	Vegetonian place.
	Vegetonian place.
	As long as you can laugh about this stuff.
	I'm sorry people were hurt, obviously.
	No, it's terrible.
	Of course, it's coincidental that all this stuff happened right as we were apparently attacking the Syrian army.
	Well, not only that, but I don't think anyone will be talking about a lot of election things for at least 10 hours.
	Also from Fox, I picked up this.
	This is one of these very irritating things that happens a lot when we have some kind of event.
	What do we usually look out for, John?
	What?
	A drill or a training exercise?
	Oh, yes.
	Well, that's your beat.
	You're always doing that, and curiously, you're always finding one.
	The explosion was so loud that we actually had somebody that came up to us that is actually with the National Guard.
	They were inside their apartment building on 24th Street.
	They told me once they heard the explosion, they put on the uniform and came out here on their own accord to see how they could help.
	The explosion was so loud.
	He initially thought that perhaps it was scaffolding, but then he realized that it was much louder than that.
	And that, I think, is what you see with some of those National Guard uniform wearers here.
	It seems to me, based on what this person told me, that they just happened to be in the area for training.
	And as soon as they heard, they happened to be in uniform already.
	Some of the people that you may be seeing before got in the background of me and decided to come out here.
	It's not like they were called out here.
	They happened to be in the area for training.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	It's always a coincidence.
	They just happened to be in the area for training.
	We do a lot of training in this country.
	Yeah, and whenever we do some training, there's always something going on.
	That's really strange.
	Well, I have one more clip, which I just thought was...
	More to explain.
	We'll find out more, but the pressure cooker bomb, at this point, you have to think that is a tell of some nefarious activity.
	I don't know.
	We had them at the Boston Marathon bombing.
	Did we have any more pressure cookers?
	I don't think so.
	It's kind of a callback.
	It's a throwback Saturday.
	Actually, that probably is exactly the reason for using it.
	And this morning...
	I was welcomed by the MSNBC. I didn't get any clips because I was like, of course.
	And they were bitching about the tone, the tone of Donald Trump's tweet.
	The tone of his tweet.
	How do you have a tone in a tweet?
	That's a new one to me, man.
	The tone of his tweet.
	And of course, I'm a big proponent of not texting with people all day long because people, what happens is the nuance of which, you know, there's no context with text.
	Let's put it that way.
	Yeah, that's why emoticons and emojis are so important.
	Yeah, because our emotions are relegated down to that.
	It's pathetic, but true.
	So if someone says, oh, the tone of this tweet is horrible, that's pretty much, I think, in the head of the receiver.
	I don't think you can necessarily know exactly what that person was thinking.
	No, you don't know.
	And, of course, Donald Trump came right out and said, Bob, we don't even know it's a bomb.
	Is he nuts?
	Why is he doing that?
	How can he do this?
	This is not okay.
	However, strangely enough...
	I saw this little back and forth, too.
	How could he say it's a bomb?
	He doesn't know.
	And it's announced to be a bomb.
	Clinton, Hillary Clinton, was on her plane.
	Which now you can see, it's easier to see how this plane is configured.
	There's no luxury on this plane.
	The giant plane?
	She has a 737.
	I thought it was bigger.
	I thought it was a 57 maybe.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	It's a 737.
	And there's no luxury configuration.
	It's just all regular seats.
	Oh, you mean just like it would be like a Southwest flight?
	Yeah, like cattle car.
	Even up front, where Hillary sits and her minions.
	Anyway, so she was in the air on her way.
	She repainted a Southwest plane.
	Pretty much.
	She was on her way to whatever event she's going to today.
	And I don't know if it was Hillary or the body double because she wasn't wearing a purse in the plane, which is now our tell.
	I want to interrupt you.
	So some guy writes and he says, well, Hillary has been, you know, we have a lot of people that do not like the theory.
	Well, not a lot.
	You mean the theory, the women never change handbag shoulders theory?
	Yes, and I want to back you up because I mentioned in the newsletter, we have a guest living here from England and she says, absolutely, my wife says absolutely to your theory.
	Yeah.
	This guy writes this.
	Well, you know, she's been served for so long that she doesn't wear it, really doesn't carry a bag.
	And so she probably doesn't have a preferred shoulder.
	Which I'll say this.
	My wife doesn't carry a bag and she has a preferred shoulder.
	So it's not...
	You pick it up when you're young.
	I mean, Hillary's 70.
	Yeah, I'm sure she has a preferred shoulder by now.
	Right.
	But anyway.
	I got...
	I'm going to grouse about that.
	Only one woman...
	Contacted me saying that she was a switcher.
	And that's Ancilla.
	Was that some sort of hint?
	Yeah.
	Who knows?
	Ancilla.
	Ancilla says, oh, I switch shoulders all the time.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	I think there's some validity to this.
	I thought she was by shoulders.
	Okay.
	Right on!
	Here is Hillary.
	Notice what she says, and notice what the first question is after she comes back to talk to the press and make a little statement.
	I've been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey.
	You heard what she said there?
	I've been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey.
	Yes, okay.
	Now let's listen to the first question after she repeats this again.
	I've been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey and the attack in Minnesota.
	Obviously, we need to do everything we can to support our first responders.
	Also, to...
	Pray for the victims.
	We have to let this investigation unfold.
	We've been in touch with various officials, including the mayor's office in New York, to learn what they are discovering as they conduct this investigation.
	And I'll have more to say about it.
	Now this is not edited, what you're about to hear.
	here.
	Okay.
	So right after she says, I've been briefed on the bombing.
	The question is, do you have any comment on the fact that Donald Trump immediately tweeted?
	It was a bombing.
	you Even though she just said it's a bombing.
	Well, I think it's important to know the facts about any incident like this.
	That's why it's critical to support the first responders, the investigators, who are looking into it, trying to determine what did happen.
	So let me get this straight.
	She says, I've been briefed on the bombing.
	And then she says, well, of course, you know, it's important, you know, Donald Trump's tweeting out bombing.
	It's important to first know what we're really talking about here before you say anything.
	Yeah, and then she goes back into that pat line, I like to support the first responders and pray for the victims.
	She reiterated exactly what she said before.
	But was this journalist not listening?
	I don't know.
	She comes out and says...
	I know, I heard what she said.
	She's an idiot.
	Thank you.
	But what is the point of the question and who is she?
	To disparage Donald Trump.
	To disparage Trump, of course.
	Yeah, no, the idea is to disparage Trump, which is why I have a number of clips for today's show that will be disparaging Trump.
	Well, let's do that then.
	Well, thanks.
	Yeah, please.
	Roll right into it.
	Well, okay.
	Well, let's start off with a couple of interests.
	Let's go to probably the nexus of the real hate, NBC. So let's start on the Bertha thing, because the big news this week wasn't the bombings or the fact that we're trying to start a war with Syria.
	We're bombing Syria.
	There's a lot of bad things going on, but I might as well get this out of the way, because apparently the Earth has to come to us to stop spinning, because Donald Trump did a short press conference where he says, ah...
	Obama was born in the United States.
	I'm through with this.
	He's already said he doesn't want to talk about it.
	People keep bringing it up and bringing it up and bringing it up.
	And then he brings out veterans and people, military guys endorsing it.
	What a great hack.
	There was only one...
	The hack was great.
	There was only one reporter, and I didn't get a clip of it, and I don't know what...
	I don't believe it was CBS... Actually, it might have been CBS, but it wasn't ABC or NBC. But one report says, this is a bogus press conference!
	It was only done to get him publicity for the new hotel!
	Yeah, I heard that too!
	I was like, really?
	That's your takeaway from this?
	Yeah, and I, you know, I actually...
	I actually buy into that.
	I think it was a great promotion for the hotel.
	And this is the one in D.C. Yeah, this is the old post office.
	Yeah, he's been talking about that.
	Yeah, okay, there you go.
	Promoting and stuff.
	Good promotion.
	And the old post office, they've redone it and made it into a hotel, which I think was great because they would have had it.
	But did they then, after this trick, because what he did is he said, oh, I got a big announcement and everyone was rolling live waiting for him.
	In fact, Do I have a...
	I'll get to that later.
	Well, right after he had the press conference, he ran out, they said.
	But what he actually did was invite people to take a tour.
	That's what I was going to ask.
	Did he invite people to come and take a tour?
	Wow.
	Well, that's...
	I can see where...
	That didn't fit into the perfect narrative.
	So you had to make stuff up.
	So I'm going to skip to NBC just for a second.
	Jump to Rachel.
	Because Rachel had a very interesting take on the whole thing, as if this was even remotely important.
	But let's play Rachel.
	This is Rachel on Birther.
	This is what I call an insane report.
	Doing the dishes for a second, just listening.
	Just a second.
	Come over to the TV. Just look.
	I'm going to show you what starts off looking like a normal news coverage clip from today on MSNBC. But watch Katie Turr on the right side of your screen here.
	Just watch.
	He's been hammering Hillary Clinton, and he was hammering her before she gave her press conference recently for hiding.
	It's important to note that Hillary Clinton has given, and this stage is falling apart behind us.
	I hope you can see this.
	Anyway...
	Katie Turr sort of admirably handling the unexpected there, as the news gods prove to us once more that they may or may not have a sense of humor, but they definitely do write poetry.
	In this case, with event drapes.
	Poetry?
	What is she talking about?
	I don't know.
	By the way, Adam, the news gods may or may not...
	Have a sense of humor.
	The news gods.
	I didn't know there were plural news gods.
	Who is the god of news?
	Who is the Greek god of news?
	Oh, Walter Cronkite.
	In this case, with event drapes and American flags, nobody was hurt.
	This was the poetically fitting end to Donald Trump's disastrous press conference in Washington today.
	Oh, disastrous.
	He caved.
	He collapsed.
	Like that stage.
	He reversed himself.
	He inexplicably stopped believing something he has purported to believe for years without any explanation.
	As soon as he said that, he then ran away without taking questions, even though he and his campaign had billed this as a press conference.
	Donald Trump today tried to say that he has not been promoting the idea that President Obama is secretly foreign for years now.
	He said today that he finished that years ago in 2011 when President Obama produced his birth certificate.
	I should say, what you're seeing here, all these clips on your screen right now are him promoting that idea since then, since 2011.
	He also today tried to blame this whole thing on Hillary Clinton.
	He tried to say it was her racist conspiracy theory about President Obama and not his.
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	Well, I obviously have a number of clips about that when you're ready.
	Oh, good.
	Well, then you can take that when I'm done with these clips.
	Can I just insert Jake Tapper?
	I love this, sure.
	Yeah, Jake Tapper, who was also very angry about this.
	Very angry.
	Donald Trump said that Barack Obama was born in the United States, which has been a fact since 1961, but congratulations for realizing it.
	And then he said Hillary Clinton started birtherism.
	Not true.
	And I ended it.
	Also not true.
	Not true.
	And I guess I'm curious as to what the reasoning is there, because while we all got rickrolled and played in terms of rolling the endorsements from those American heroes who came out to talk, About Donald Trump and why they support him, Medal of Honor recipients and the like.
	What's largely going to be covered are these two sentences, one of which is completely untrue, the idea that Clinton started this and that he ended it.
	Jake Tapper.
	Jake Tapper.
	Rick Roll is not the correct phrase, my friend.
	That was not a Rick Roll.
	There was no Rick Astley.
	No, no, no.
	Whoa!
	You got butt slammed!
	There you go.
	That's it.
	Well, let's play the second half of Rachel's little thing.
	What happened today, I think, is that he got scared and sort of fell apart.
	I think maybe he did not want to have to defend his craziness about the president's birthplace and birth certificate in the forthcoming debate.
	Maybe that's why he crumbled.
	I don't know.
	But he crumbled.
	He collapsed.
	He caved.
	And he told all of these laugh-out-loud obvious lies about it as he did it.
	And then he ran away from reporters.
	I mean, this was...
	It was a collapse, a total abandonment of what was his signature issue, his signature belief, with no explanation.
	I finished your issue.
	I finished it, you know what I mean.
	Okie dokie.
	You tell me when you're ready.
	You tell me when you're ready.
	Okay, let's go.
	For what?
	Yeah, for the clips that prove otherwise, from these very same people, I might add.
	Oh, well, let's start.
	No, I'm going to get through the NBC stuff, then you're going to take it over.
	All right, baby.
	Let's start with NBC Birther.
	This is the...
	Let's start with the tease.
	This is the way the news hour began.
	This top of the news.
	Whoa, really?
	All right, everybody.
	And we're ready for cold open.
	Okay, stand by.
	We're going in three, two, one.
	Roll open.
	Roll open.
	Tonight, birther bombshell.
	Donald Trump finally admits President Obama was born in the U.S., but ignites more controversy, false and acclaiming Hillary Clinton started the birther rumors he spread for years.
	Clinton firing back, accusing Trump of pushing a racist conspiracy and getting backup from the First Lady.
	And kill Cameron Wood.
	Now, this falsely accused phrase is used over and over again at NBC. It's used during his read of the actual story, too.
	Falsely accused, falsely accused.
	And we're going to talk about that after we get through these clips.
	But the idea of falsely accused, if you think about that word, it's kind of like self-contradictory.
	It's like he accused someone falsely.
	Yes, which is awkward, so no one would say that.
	He accused Hillary of being the early promoter of this idea.
	He didn't falsely...
	I mean, he accused her...
	And that's bullcrap, according to these people.
	But falsely accused makes it sound like he...
	I don't know what it means.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	I think it's one of those little confusing...
	I think I'm falsely confused.
	The cognitive dissonance on this one was pretty good.
	I have a couple of crazy intros as well.
	Same idea.
	It's like falsely accused.
	Weird, weird language.
	Yeah, so let's listen to NBC. Let's go through these.
	These are a little longer than...
	Actually, these are not that long.
	Let's go.
	Birther 1.
	Good evening.
	Today, Donald Trump publicly acknowledged what most Americans have accepted as the truth for years, that President Barack Obama was born in the United States.
	Trump was an outspoken voice of the so-called birther movement, which challenged Obama's legitimacy as president.
	Today, without apology, Mr.
	Trump admitted the president is a natural-born American, and in the same breath managed to wrongly accuse Hillary Clinton of first launching the discredited movement.
	Wrongly.
	Wrongly.
	I think that's actually probably better than falsely.
	Wrongly.
	Wrongly.
	I'm wrongly.
	Okay, now let's go to two.
	Tonight, Clinton is leading the growing outrage among Democrats.
	We have two reports tonight.
	Let's start with NBC's Hallie Jackson.
	Hallie, good evening.
	Good evening, Lester.
	Among the many conspiracy theories Donald Trump's talked about, he's pursued none as intently as this one.
	Few topics as central to his early political identity, even after his campaign tried to speak for him these last couple weeks.
	We heard nothing definitive from the candidate himself behind me on the campaign trail in Miami until today.
	Donald Trump today finally submitting to the truth.
	President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.
	A seven-second statement after 28 minutes of buildup trying to reverse a position Trump's held for five years, championing a conspiracy theory.
	Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?
	I'm starting to wonder myself whether or not he was born in this country.
	So I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding.
	He gave a birth certificate.
	Whether or not that was a real certificate, because a lot of people question it, I certainly question it.
	Today, in his reversal, Trump didn't admit he was wrong, didn't say he was sorry, and didn't tell the truth when he said this.
	Hillary Clinton.
	And her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy.
	I finished it.
	Neither Clinton nor her campaign made Barack Obama's citizenship an issue.
	And as he sarcastically said in the Oval Office today, neither did the president himself.
	I was pretty confident about where I was born.
	I think most people were as well.
	The president brushing off Trump like he did after releasing his long-form birth certificate in 2011.
	We can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter.
	Did we fake the moon landing?
	Hey, hey, hey!
	Now you're pissing me off, Brock.
	Good way.
	Good way.
	I hadn't heard that.
	Thanks for leaving that in just for me.
	Yeah, I left that in just for you.
	So let's go with Bertha 3 and get past that.
	It's not just what the GOP nominee said today, but how and where he said it.
	The opening of his new D.C. hotel.
	A photo op with cameras allowed, but not questions from journalists.
	Who watched the stage collapse after Trump walked off.
	Finally agreeing to admit that President Obama was born in the United States.
	That's meant to gain him support with white, college-educated voters in those key battleground states.
	Trump trying to undo years of perpetuating a lie with a single sentence.
	A single question remaining.
	Will it work?
	Hallie Jackson, NBC News, Miami.
	I'm glad they put the racist meme in there.
	That was kind of cool.
	Well, the racist meme gets worse.
	It's not really a meme, but we always hear so much, oh, that horrible man is a name-caller.
	So let's stay on NBC, and we're going to play this clip, Birther 4, which is a variety of people expressing their opinions.
	So he comes out and says, okay, he was born here.
	Let's move on.
	But here's what we get instead.
	I'm Kristen Welker in Washington where tonight Democrats are attacking Donald Trump from all sides.
	Donald Trump is a disgusting fraud.
	Charging Trump can't distance himself from the birther conspiracy theory which he helped lead.
	He's not qualified to be commander in chief.
	He's a hater.
	The outrage palpable in Washington, where members of the Congressional Black Caucus unleashed unbridled anger.
	We will not be treated as second-class citizens.
	We will not elect a chief bigot.
	It's a fight the Clinton campaign welcomes, as Hillary Clinton tries to rebound from her rockiest stretch yet.
	A chance to fire up the base.
	A recent NBC Survey Monkey online poll showing more than 8 in 10 Democrats believe the president was born here.
	I love that.
	A recent...
	Yeah, and I'm going to roll it back.
	I'm going to roll it back.
	I just wanted to point out a recent online monkey survey.
	Survey monkey.
	Survey monkey.
	Well, here's the funny thing about that that got my attention.
	The survey monkey survey says eight in ten Democrats...
	Believe that he was born here.
	That means 20% of the Democrat Party thinks he wasn't?
	Yes.
	Survey Monkey says...
	The base, a recent NBC Survey Monkey online poll showing more than 8 in 10 Democrats believe the president was born here.
	Wow!
	Clinton even speaking out before Trump's announcement at an event for African-American women.
	Barack Obama was born in America, plain and simple, and Donald Trump owes him and the American people an apology.
	Later in the campaign, calling Trump's statement a disgrace.
	So, that is interesting.
	I think they missed the ball.
	I think, yeah, someone messed up.
	Yeah, I think saying 8 and 10, it's like, what?
	That makes no sense.
	20% of the Democrats don't think he was born here.
	That didn't belong in the...
	Wow, that's the news as far as I'm concerned.
	You get a borderliner for that.
	The thing about that clip that I got a kick out of was this woman, this one woman comes up, this black woman, and all the bitching and moaning.
	She says, we're not going to be treated like second-class citizens.
	What has that got to do with anything?
	Because the birtherism movement was racist!
	Racist!
	Racist!
	Okay, alright.
	Can I pick it up here?
	Well, I got maybe one more.
	Alright.
	Um...
	I think I have an ABC clip.
	Yeah, you have an ABC report.
	Ready?
	Publishing a new interview.
	Trump still refusing to say whether he believes the president was born in the U.S. Then, within hours, an email bombshell from the campaign.
	Mr.
	Trump believes President Obama was born in the United States.
	But nothing from Trump himself.
	This morning, a tweet.
	I'm going to the brand new Trump International Hotel, D.C. for a major statement.
	Even on an issue so deeply...
	Stop one second.
	I want to do a little...
	That's fantastic.
	This is ABC, which is, according to the leaner report, is...
	Leaning toward Trump, and I believe that this is actually, if you listen to it and you start breaking it down, even though Tom Yamas hates Trump, and he's the one yelling his report with all his enthusiasm, I think this is actually a pro-Trump piece.
	So try to hear that as you listen.
	Trump International Hotel DC for a major statement.
	Even on an issue so deeply personal to the president, Trump building up the drama for his next TV stunt.
	You watch my statement.
	We have to keep the suspense going, okay?
	Finally, with the press corps assembled, Trump bragged about his hotel, surrounded by a collection of decorated veterans backing him.
	Then, he addressed the elephant in the room.
	President Barack Obama...
	Was born in the United States, period.
	Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Since Donald Trump didn't answer any of our questions and he avoided the press completely, we're now tracking him down to a fundraiser in Virginia.
	I pressed him.
	Will there be an apology?
	Mr.
	Trump, can we talk to you?
	Tom, how are you, Tom?
	Mr.
	Trump, can we talk?
	Mr.
	Trump, are you going to now apologize to the president?
	Mr.
	Trump, are you going to now apologize to the president?
	Tom Yamas with us live tonight.
	And Tom, after five years of this, many saying the timing could not be more convenient for a change of heart now 10 days before that crucial first debate.
	David, Trump clearly does not want this issue to come up in the debate.
	He says he wants to focus on the issues.
	Just tonight, he was down in Little Haiti in Miami, speaking to a predominantly black audience, and he did not mention the birther incidents once.
	He's trying to move past this, David.
	Okay.
	So I thought the subtext of that particular report on ABC was positive.
	Well, certainly for Tom Yamas, yeah.
	Certainly for him.
	They had the picture of he's in a car, and they're driving, they're following the Trump thing to this other event, and then he shows up yelling with the mic, you know, kind of thing.
	Like he's following Taylor Swift.
	Yes.
	Taylor, Taylor!
	Who are you dating?
	All right.
	Well, I got a couple of clips here.
	First, we need to step back for one second to listen to CNN complaining about mocking the media.
	This is Ashley Banningfield.
	Who was on CNN. Oh, she's the...
	You know, I've decided she is the worst.
	She's nervous all the time.
	She's not very quick on her feet for a host.
	And she always has, you know, it's very tub-thumping.
	Yeah.
	Well, I was going to say something different.
	I was going to mention she's changed her hair and she's no longer wearing her glasses.
	And it's just not a good look.
	I thought the other look was better.
	Okay, well that's...
	No, it's important.
	It is for her.
	And this is all about her.
	I have really good news for you.
	I just heard that the press is stuck on their airplane.
	They can't get here.
	I love it.
	So they're trying to get here now.
	They called us and said, could you wait?
	I said, absolutely not.
	Let's get going.
	Bye.
	So what I'm wondering is why so much cheering, other than a lot of people who go to Trump events like to besmirch the media too, but do people not Realize or are they forgetting that other critical element of it?
	Either you have a media, or you have what I witnessed in Saddam's era, in Libya's era, where you never got to actually call yourself press, or you'd go to jail for it.
	When I was in Baghdad, driving by Saddam Hussein's presidential palace, I was gobsmacked by the size of it, and my driver yelled at me, put your eyes forward on the road, stop looking, we're going to get in trouble.
	We were on a freeway.
	We were on a freeway and my driver was terrified that I was staring at Saddam's palace.
	So there's the other side of this.
	Yes, so the takeaway here is if you mock the media, what do you want?
	Iraq?
	We're important.
	Otherwise, it's just like Iraq under Saddam.
	Unbelievable.
	I have a complimentary clip.
	Mm-hmm.
	This is the mainstream media survey on RT, of course, giving it to us.
	Of course.
	Most Americans no longer trust their media.
	A new study has revealed.
	Pollsters Gallup blame biased coverage of the U.S. presidential elections, noting Donald Trump controversies are highlighted while those surrounding Hillary Clinton get glossed over.
	We went to the streets of Washington to find out more.
	So do you trust American media?
	Not very much.
	Not at all.
	I do.
	If you can't trust the Washington Post and the New York Times, then we're in big trouble.
	What about CNN, MSNBC, Fox?
	CNN, Fox never.
	Completely biased and ridiculous.
	Oh yes, of course.
	And you know that she's never watched Fox.
	No, no, no, no.
	She's holding, but they went on and on with that report, asking people on the street.
	Most people thought it was probably true.
	And the thing is, if only 30% trust the media, doesn't Ashley Banford understand why they're cheering?
	She asked the question.
	She understands.
	She understands.
	She knows.
	I don't think so.
	Yeah, you're right.
	She doesn't.
	You're right.
	I'm sorry.
	What am I thinking?
	No.
	Yeah.
	She totally believes.
	You know these people.
	They're robots.
	They're all in.
	You lost friends because of this mentality.
	Yes.
	I lose more every day.
	How many do you have left?
	Hi, friend.
	It's you and Tina.
	That's it.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	So I'm going to give everyone a little bit of ammo in case you just want to be confident in this incredible lie that is taking place.
	This is a real cover-up in plain sight, which doesn't take much.
	I spent maybe 45 minutes yesterday just collecting a few clips so we could use some of these famous people saying exactly the opposite, that the birther...
	That birtherism sprouted from the Clinton campaign.
	And that, of course, that nuance is up for debate.
	Can I put one little extra little tidbit in there?
	Please, please.
	Because I think there's a...
	I think there is a parsing issue going on, because they're always parsing this.
	They're saying, the Clinton campaign did not start the birther movement.
	And it turns out, if you do enough deeper research, and you probably have, you discover that it actually began in 2004.
	Yeah, in Iowa or someplace, somebody came up with this idea.
	It was the Clinton campaign that picked it up.
	So they're not the founders.
	They're just the progenitor.
	They're just in the mix.
	In the game.
	So you can say, and this is not true.
	The Clinton campaign never started the birther movement.
	Yes, they're right.
	They didn't start the birther movement.
	That's not the point.
	I would like to hop on in, John.
	Hop on in.
	We're getting in the time machine.
	Let's go.
	Back in time.
	Whoa.
	2015.
	Hi, John.
	Welcome to 2015.
	Hey, hey.
	Here we are.
	So I'm here in 2015, and I figured we need to find someone who was talking about this in this particular year, and someone who has some credibility, some standing.
	First of all, let me stop you.
	I get a headache every time we go back in time, because it's very hard on the nervous system.
	It is, yeah.
	And if we're going to go back in time, what's the point of going back one lone year?
	Now I'm going to have a headache?
	Coming back to 2016.
	Well, I want to...
	Well, okay.
	Be cranky.
	Alright, be cranky.
	In 2015, we come across one of the elites, news elites for sure, Andrea Mitchell.
	How about we have a listen to what Andrea Mitchell was saying just a year ago?
	A poll released by the New York Times this week shows a quarter of Americans believe the president was born outside of the United States.
	Incredible.
	Among Republicans, that number jumps to 45%.
	Politico's senior political writer, Ben Smith, is here with us.
	Ben, I don't know how you get past this, I don't know how the White House gets past it, but you dug back into the roots of it, and it really goes back to the campaign.
	Actually, what it goes back to is the Clinton campaign, and not Clinton herself or her staff, but her supporters.
	As she was losing in the sort of really bitter spring of 2008, some of her passionate supporters were kind of grasping at straws for reasons he could be ineligible to run for president.
	Some of them said, well, maybe his father's a foreigner.
	Maybe that means he's not a citizen.
	And they got very excited about that, and then they looked at the law, and that turned out not to be true.
	And this was sort of a backup strategy.
	Oh, what if he was actually born in Kenya?
	And it was ludicrous.
	And they produced, you know, ludicrous forged birth certificates and things like this.
	And this kind of bubbled through the 08 campaign.
	But the main smear in 08 was that he was a Muslim.
	And this just sort of bubbled around on the fringes of 2008 and then really burst after the election for some reason.
	Oh, OK.
	For some reason.
	All right.
	So there it is.
	I mean, this is Andrew Mitchell.
	It was only a year ago.
	Only a year ago.
	Let us move forward a little to 2016.
	I'm sorry for the headache.
	I know.
	I'm sorry.
	We're perfecting it.
	We're now in 2016, May of 2016, so this is only about half a year ago.
	Who else could we really trust?
	MSNBC? They would know, wouldn't they, John?
	I mean, they are pro-Hillary, aren't they?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, here is the Morning Joe's shows.
	With Joe and Mika reminding everyone how this actually started.
	And they're there with the whole crew.
	And some of them even have to reluctantly admit that they are correct.
	It was rich this weekend.
	I guess we have to get our digs in on Hillary Clinton here.
	Because I thought we were going to get through a second without talking about her.
	But for Hillary Clinton to come out and criticize anybody for spreading the rumors about Barack Obama...
	When it all started with her and her campaign passing things around in the Democratic primary, Rich, now listen, the Republicans are wrong for doing what they're doing.
	It started, this started with Hillary Clinton.
	And it was spread by the Clinton team.
	We're just telling the truth.
	Back in 2008.
	I really, I don't even know.
	Carol, please, don't, don't.
	But, Mika, you can't tell me to stop when the two of you are making comments.
	If there's a basis, an actual evidentiary basis for what you're saying, then I would agree with you.
	I have experience.
	Spread what in 2008?
	That Barack Obama may not be a Christian.
	We should ask Heilman this question, because he's the official historian of the 2008 campaign.
	I don't recall that, but if you're telling me that was the case, I just don't recall.
	John Heilman?
	It was the case.
	It was the case.
	Thank you, John Heilman.
	And didn't she go on 60 Minutes and not actually say no?
	He says he is.
	I'm offering my rules.
	What was that?
	I'm affirming the Scarborough Brzezinski.
	Do you know about the CBS interview?
	Was that rigged?
	I don't know anything about it.
	I have no knowledge whatsoever of what happened between the campaign and John Dickerson.
	I don't know what happened on that interview.
	This is cognitive dissonance in action.
	You can recall that a week earlier, she went on Andrea Mitchell, and it was all emails all the time for the first 20 minutes of that interview.
	So she has done interviews in which it was no holes barred.
	No holes barred.
	She should come on this show.
	I'm with you, Joe.
	We were really good to her in 2008.
	There you go.
	So even, what's his name?
	Heilman even asked him.
	Okay, I admit, you're right.
	All right, you're right.
	Well, I don't know why he wouldn't admit it.
	Let's just look at the logic of this.
	This rumor, this birther thing, this rumor about him not being born in the United States Was in full play in 2008.
	And Trump wasn't around doing anything.
	He wasn't talking about this.
	So somebody was.
	And who would be doing it?
	And why would they be doing it?
	And who would it benefit?
	Yeah.
	That's just so logical.
	That everyone gets, oh, oh, oh.
	They're all worked up, bent out of shape about this.
	Oh, Hillary didn't do that.
	Hillary didn't do that.
	Hillary didn't do that.
	It's exactly what they said on RT. They gloss over Trump.
	The reality of Hillary's screw-ups, it's just unbelievable.
	But...
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I had a...
	There's a good article in the end.
	I have two more clips.
	Oh, yeah.
	A couple more clips.
	Sorry, close your eyes.
	We have to move back to now.
	Not again.
	Yes, I'm sorry.
	All right, here we are.
	Welcome back to September 2016.
	And we are now listening to...
	Former Clinton campaign manager at the time, in 2008, Patty Doyle, who is pretty much going to admit exactly what happened.
	The campaign manager.
	There was a volunteer coordinator, I believe, in late 2007, I think in December, one of our volunteer coordinators in one of the counties in Iowa, I don't recall whether they were an actual paid staffer, but they did forward an email that promoted the conspiracy.
	The birther conspiracy?
	Yeah.
	Hillary made the decision immediately to let that person go.
	We let that person go.
	So that person was a volunteer, but they let them go.
	I don't know if they were paid, but we let them go.
	Okay.
	In that same, there was an NPR report, somebody who is an actual, you know, is the base reporter, a reporter that does the work, said that he was called by Sidney Blumenthal.
	Yes.
	Unless you have that clip.
	I don't have that.
	Okay, he was called by Sidney Blumenthal directly and told to look into Obama's not being born in the country.
	He says you'll find that it's the case.
	And Blumenthal, of course, was Hillary's mentor.
	Oh, and if you look at the Hillary Clinton emails that are on WikiLeaks, he's the one that, he's their brain.
	He's the one that emailed her that Gaddafi had died.
	He may be the guy who actually came up with the idea.
	And that would not surprise me.
	Now we have two more quickies here.
	Interesting.
	I don't know if this one's edited properly.
	This is CNN last night.
	Aaron Burnett.
	I'm trying to deconstruct the genesis of the birther movement.
	Pastor Scott, does he then?
	This one.
	I want this one.
	Donald Trump has been selling this swill as a conspiracy entrepreneur for five years.
	It was the foundation of his flirtation with the president in 2012.
	He's continued to sound those notes throughout this campaign.
	And even in today's statement, he lied while telling the truth.
	You know, by saying that...
	How does that work?
	He lied by telling the truth.
	Who is this guy?
	This is one of the CNN correspondents.
	How do you lie by telling the truth?
	He uses the word swill like that.
	Well, swill, let me do the rollback.
	The entrepreneur of swill.
	Yes, I thought it might be an interesting show title.
	Donald Trump has been selling this swill as a conspiracy entrepreneur for five years.
	I'm a conspiracy entrepreneur.
	Hold on.
	A conspiracy entrepreneur.
	Yeah.
	I think that's a business card.
	Hello, Adam Curry.
	I think this would be a great title on a business card.
	Hi, I'm Adam Curry.
	Anybody out there who wants to yuck it up with their business cards, use that.
	Conspiracy entrepreneur.
	Hello, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	Conspiracy entrepreneur.
	It was the foundation of his flirtation with the President in 2012.
	He's continued to sound those notes throughout this campaign.
	And even in today's statement, he lied while telling the truth.
	You know, by saying that it was Hillary Clinton who started it, personally, trying to deflect, and then that he ended it.
	So let me ask you on that and get everyone's reaction.
	You've looked into this.
	Absolutely.
	This claim.
	And what have you found?
	Okay.
	So, you know, these conspiracy theories have different tributaries that lead to them.
	But what I followed was the source of the first lawsuit and the person who took credit for bringing it to the lawyer.
	It was a Clinton supporter out of Texas named Linda Starr, who was sort of an amateur opposition researcher.
	I thought it was Iowa.
	Now it's out of Texas.
	Maybe there are a whole bunch of people.
	Everybody talks about Iowa, you're right.
	Now it's Texas, of course.
	Of course it's Texas.
	Oh yes, exactly.
	Texas, yeah.
	We hate Democrats and we hate black people.
	A reporter out of Texas named Linda Starr, who was sort of an amateur opposition researcher.
	She was furious about the state of the primary, like many Hillary Clinton supporters.
	She brought the suit to a lawyer named Philip Berg, and they launched it right before the Democratic primary.
	So a Clinton supporter, but you're saying not the Clinton campaign?
	No.
	Not the Clinton campaign.
	These were hardcore, the Pumas, the hardcore, you know, Hillary.
	The Pumas?
	I don't remember a group called the Pumas.
	I remember this.
	The Pumas?
	Yeah, the old ladies.
	The old ladies that supported Hillary.
	So there was a lawsuit brought on by this woman from Texas.
	This was all affiliated with the Clinton campaign.
	The Pumas, the hardcore Hillary supporters who were furious that she'd lost the primary.
	It percolated, but then it was picked up by conservatives, and they've been carrying it ever since.
	First, Lou Dobbs on national television mainstreamed it, and then Donald Trump did more than anyone else to keep it alive.
	All right.
	There you go.
	Now, last clip is a short one.
	This is the part of this birther issue that has baffled me from the minute I heard it, is that questioning the president's place of birth is racist.
	And this doesn't fit in my brain.
	I do not understand how that is racist unless the person calling you a racist in their mind thinks, oh, because he's black.
	That's why.
	So the racist is actually the people saying this is the way I see it.
	Well, how does that explain, if you want to call Trump one, Trump pulling the same stunt on Cruz?
	Here is Pastor Scott.
	Hold on.
	Here's Pastor Scott, black pastor on Aaron Burnett.
	Uh, regarding the racial aspect.
	Pastor Scott, does he then, as Hillary Clinton says, owe an apology?
	No, I don't think so, because it was not racial.
	It was political.
	It was political in its origination.
	It was political as it moved forward.
	It was simply a political maneuver.
	He used the same maneuver against Ted Cruz, cresting his citizenship.
	Nobody is asking him to be apologized to.
	The Canadians aren't offended.
	The Democrats are playing on the emotions and the emotionalism and the sensitivities Of black Americans because they're afraid Donald Trump is making inroads into the black community.
	We are going to talk about that very issue, the black community and the racist part of this.
	No, we're not.
	Thank you, Pastor Scott.
	Never to be heard from again.
	No, Pastor Scott will not make it back to CNN. I've got a couple of...
	That's funny.
	This is a good example of CNN. I got these from...
	RT found a bunch of these, but this one here, I got a kick out of two of these.
	This is the cutoff clips.
	Let me find them.
	There's one of them...
	Breonna Keeler.
	Yeah, Breonna Keeler gets cut off.
	And remember...
	Can I go into it or do you need this?
	Yeah, just play it.
	Okay.
	Remember, Hillary Clinton has some vulnerabilities herself, even as she calls for criminal justice reform because of her support in the 1990s for anti-crime legislation that ultimately helped contribute to this era of mass incarceration that she now speaks out again.
	We just lost Breonna Keillor.
	Oh no, what happened Breonna?
	We just lost her.
	Oh, man.
	And the other one I have, which we might as well play since it's in the mood.
	All right.
	This is Chris Matthews, who apparently had someone in his ear, maybe a new assistant director, I don't know, but he throws the guy under the bus.
	Nice.
	Wealthy people on Wall Street, as he talks about, who make a lot of money, the traders, the speculators, they owe something back to society.
	And so I think that, just a moment, am I supposed to stop talking?
	Yeah.
	Okay, somebody just told me to.
	Let me hear that again.
	That was great.
	Hold on a second.
	Wealthy people on Wall Street, as he talks about, who make a lot of money.
	The traders, the speculators.
	They owe something back to society.
	And so, I think that...
	Just a moment.
	Am I supposed to stop talking?
	No?
	Okay.
	Somebody just told me to.
	We have CNBC, you idiot.
	Don't let anyone know what's going on.
	It's part of our network, douche.
	Don't do that, douche.
	Yes, we got people at CNBC telling everyone to buy more stocks.
	Jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez.
	I have lots of other election stuff, which we'll get to after we thank some producers.
	But I have two more things I wanted to play, which were very...
	It was kind of sad.
	It's two clips from the same interview.
	Bill Clinton went on The Daily Show...
	With Trevor Noah, which I don't like watching.
	I kind of got tired when John was doing it, but now this Trevor Noah guy, his jokes are obvious.
	You know his jokes are coming, and I don't know.
	He doesn't do it.
	He's a stand-up comic.
	It's not as though, you know, people always say, well, you know, you can be funny once you become a stand-up comic.
	It's not the same thing.
	No.
	Being a stand-up comic, when you're really good at it, I think he's a really good stand-up comic, it doesn't mean you can sit there and be an interviewer.
	I mean, who makes that connection?
	I'll have to look at some of his stand-ups.
	Anyway, so he has Bill on, and this is a very laborious, very difficult interview for Trevor.
	At the same time, I think Bill is troublesome to interview.
	He's slow, and he...
	You know, he really takes it.
	He's very slow.
	Very slow.
	And they have, like, the whole extra interview.
	Even that, they got so tired of making edits, they just flashed it.
	They didn't even put it in an insert of, you know, audience or Trevor.
	They don't have an audience shot.
	Or Trevor.
	No, just flashed it.
	Just flashed it.
	Just flash it and go to the next bit.
	Yeah, well, if you had him on, you know, they got it.
	There's a five or six minute interview.
	This is a spot.
	And he talks on and on and on for 25 minutes about nothing.
	Yeah.
	So, Trevor, who is blowing Bill as much as he can, starts off, of course, asking about Hillary's health.
	Before we get into the interview, how is Hillary doing?
	And how does that even...
	That's a tell to me that a whole bunch of this stuff was set up beforehand.
	Before we get into the interview, when you're asking him a question, I think the interview has already started.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah.
	I wonder what the point of that is.
	Before we get into the interview, so it's...
	Before we get into the agreed to piece.
	Because it is the interview.
	Yeah.
	If I say to you, Adam, before we start talking, let me ask you a couple of questions.
	We're talking!
	Exactly.
	So that was a tell that all the rest is set up, discussed, agreed to.
	I don't understand why this wasn't, but let's listen to it.
	Before we get into the interview, how is Hillary doing?
	Great.
	She looked great when she left this morning.
	And I turned on the TV and saw her in North Carolina.
	She looked great.
	She just called and said she got home and she still feels good.
	He sounds so much like my grandfather now.
	You know, I saw her on the TV and she looked good.
	She called home, called home.
	Everything's good.
	Big deal.
	She had pneumonia.
	People get it all the time.
	I love this.
	Hey, big deal.
	Big deal.
	She had pneumonia.
	People get it all the time.
	Big deal.
	She had pneumonia.
	People get it all the time.
	Can I ask an honest question, though?
	When you're watching the video, I know that I was, I mean, a lot of people here at the show, you're afraid watching the video.
	You go, oh, is everything okay?
	Is something happening?
	Are you afraid when you see that?
	Well, you're always concerned, but I was pretty sure I knew what it was because she had been working hard.
	She was dehydrated.
	She'd been standing up a long time there.
	And, you know, she wanted to go to the 9-11 ceremony.
	Listen to the way he says that, because that is part of my thesis.
	What did he say?
	Just blah, blah, blah, blah.
	But then he says in this very sincere, almost emotional voice, she really wanted to go to the 9-11 ceremony.
	And the way I interpret that, with my hypothesis that she shouldn't have been out at all because she is ill or was ill, whatever it is, and that's why we had this body double come out later, You know, exactly what I thought.
	She really wanted to be there, even though she shouldn't have been, and they had, you know, backup plans, I guess, in place.
	But just listen to his voice.
	She'd been standing up a long time there, and, you know, she wanted to go to that 9-11 ceremony.
	Oh, she wanted to go to that 9-11 ceremony.
	And we both thought it would be okay.
	She felt good, but it's not surprising.
	You showed that clip of President Obama in Philadelphia and somebody fainted.
	Yeah, it happens a lot to me.
	And 90% of the time, it's just people dehydrated.
	And so I didn't worry too much about it.
	And sure enough, she got examined.
	That's what the doctor said.
	But she also said he did have pneumonia, and it used to be called, when I was young, walking pneumonia.
	Yeah.
	But sometimes you can't walk anymore, and you've got to rest, so that's what she did.
	It's good to hear.
	Good to hear.
	Good to hear.
	Very good to hear.
	By the way, that clip was two minutes long.
	I took out all of Bill's pauses.
	It's a minute long.
	That's how much this guy pauses.
	And now this piece.
	There are a couple of surprising things that I heard here which I did not know.
	And very interesting to hear Trevor Noah pretending to have done all this research when he really doesn't know what he's talking about, and we'll interrupt and discuss that as it goes along.
	Let's get into the reason you're back in New York.
	Here for the 12th annual Clinton Global Initiative.
	It really is a coming together of some of the most powerful and influential people in the world.
	Why do these people come together for this initiative?
	Why does everyone feel that it is so important?
	Okay.
	This, of course, is how everyone views the Clinton Global Initiative.
	It's fantastic.
	It's a gathering in New York and all the world leaders come together and this is really helping the planet.
	Why do they come together?
	Why do they do that?
	We know the answer.
	Bill Clinton has even said this in the past.
	The answer is it happens every year at the same time we have the United Nations General Assembly.
	Everyone's there already.
	This is a very smart move.
	Everyone's in New York, but Trevor Noah, in all his wisdom, believes that everyone comes just for the Clinton Global Initiative.
	Now, how do you think Bill answers this question?
	He knows the truth.
	Hey, we set this up because everyone's in New York anyway.
	That would have been fine to answer, I think.
	Yes, but that's not the way he's going to answer it.
	He's going to make it sound as though everyone's flocking because he's raised his hand.
	Come on over, boys!
	...together for this initiative.
	Why does everyone feel that it is so important?
	I think the primary reason is, and the primary reason I started, is that people come here and they talk about a lot of things that are both in the news and are long-term problems, and then they actually make a commitment to do something about it.
	And we have a staff that works year-round to help them develop and then keep those commitments so that it's a change agent.
	Oh, change agent.
	I think it's really done a lot to change philanthropy.
	I mean, more and more people in other forums are trying to do the same thing.
	Don't just talk about something.
	Tell me what you're going to do.
	Obviously, it had nothing to do with the United Nations.
	Bill is a magnet.
	There are 11.5 million people the last time I checked.
	The last time I checked.
	Did you just check the Clinton...
	Foundation PR materials.
	Who now have access in developing countries to AIDS medication.
	Yeah, untested AIDS medication, as we pointed out.
	From India.
	Untested AIDS medication from India, which is never brought up.
	Because of the foundation.
	Everywhere in Africa, the Clinton Foundation has touched...
	These are governments that you're working with.
	These are people that you're working with.
	Why is this the final CGI? Why is this the final gathering?
	Did you know that?
	No, I did not know that.
	So Trevor says, why is this the final gathering?
	Why are you stopping this fantastic initiative?
	And to me, after that whole setup, it makes no sense.
	Why would that take place?
	Bill has an answer.
	Well, first of all, the question you're asking me has to clarify something.
	Unless one of the partners at CGI asks my foundation, which is separate from the Global Initiative, to work with them, I just go there and try to raise money and resources for other people.
	The work we do in healthcare has been an independent entity, our health access initiative, since 2010.
	And it's not going to be shut down, but because you can't do global health care on a scale like we do, like more than half the people in the world in poor countries on AIDS medicine get the cheapest, best medicine from our group.
	They build health systems.
	They cut malaria prices.
	They do all this other stuff.
	You can't do that without government help.
	So the people who he was partnered with for Clinton Global Initiative, which he's very clear about, has nothing to do with the CHI, the Clinton AIDS HIV Initiative, has nothing to do with the Clinton Foundation.
	Now, I could not find who exactly the partner is that is now out raising money for other people.
	But I did find an article in USA Today from 2015 in which they confirm that the sponsors who they have always had are pulling out and were not going to participate in the 2016 and this year's CGI, Samsung, ExxonMobil, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, ProStyle, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Hewlett-Packard, Monsanto, Dow.
	So they all pulled out their money.
	And that's why it's not continuing.
	And this is very sad, because what you see here, in my mind, is two people of age, you know, running towards the end of their careers, and being pushed aside because they're toxic.
	They're toxic, and people know it, and the big money guys know it.
	They do not want any of that goo spreading onto them, so they're pulling out, and this fantastic, great initiative is going to end because of it.
	And no one's talking about that.
	No, no one's talking about it.
	What was interesting in retrospect, after what you just said, is the way Clinton explained it.
	It was like, now that I think about what he said, it was just a confused...
	Meaningless explanation.
	Want to hear it again?
	Because of the money over here, and there's money over there, and we have to do this, we can't do that, and then there's somebody over here, and so that's why we're doing it.
	I think he was also trying to show that these are very separate organizations, C-H-A-I, C-A-H-I, the AIDS Initiative has nothing to do with the Clinton Foundation.
	It's all separate.
	That's what he's trying to say.
	I think there's some shit going on, that's for sure.
	But the fact, I mean, this should be, this is leading news.
	They're stopping.
	Bill's stopping with his philanthropy.
	It's not news at all.
	I'm surprised you found anything.
	And it came out of his mouth.
	Then when you really think about it, these are two sad people who are just at the end of their careers.
	No one really wants to deal with them anymore.
	The money's not going to flow.
	Well, let's just try one more time to get into the White House.
	We got this.
	We're going to try it.
	Come hook or crook, we're going to do it.
	It was just saddening to me, the whole thing.
	I guess.
	Yeah.
	I don't quite see it as totally saddening, but...
	Well, if you look at them, Bill just looks like a sad man.
	He's like a mess, and they're fooling themselves, and it's like, I don't know.
	Why is there that old gangster who was always walking around with a walker?
	The guy in New York is very famous.
	I don't know who that is.
	He's some old gangster.
	He's like pretending to be senile and all the rest of it.
	He wasn't.
	I don't know.
	But it was great in court.
	They couldn't ask him.
	I can't remember who it is.
	Somebody in the chat room would know this guy.
	Well, now that...
	Famous...
	Now that we have that all out of the way, I guess we can move on.
	Although, first...
	Do you like real news?
	Yeah, no, first I have to...
	No, first I have to...
	Thank you for your courage!
	And say in the morning to you, John C! Where the C stands for...
	Conspiracy Entrepreneur Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning to all ships at sea.
	Boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Yes, in the morning to the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Good to have you all there, hanging out.
	And in the morning to Nick the Rat.
	Who brought us the album art for episode 860, which we had to laugh at.
	Although I have a feeling this might have been...
	Have we used this art before?
	This is Putin and Trump riding on bears.
	Well, I know we referred to the writing on bears thing in the show.
	In the show, yeah, I remember that too.
	And I had posted on Twitter, Putin writing on the bear, so maybe, because you follow my Twitter, maybe you saw that.
	Could be, could be.
	I don't remember us using writing on bears before.
	Well, we want to thank Nick the Rat and all of the artists who submitted their work to NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	This is where we select our album artwork as one of the few podcasts ever anywhere that does this consistently on an ongoing basis.
	Just another one of the ways that we have cracked the code to true open source public radio with the audience being the producers.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	Thank you.
	And we have some associate producers and executive producers to thank for today's program.
	Now, we have for starters, we have, I have to deal with this, the top guy here, because he sent this, sent in a check through the system.
	And by the way, he wants to add, he's an instantite.
	This is Dan Victor in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
	He wants to add white, widow, and brownies.
	Not to be consumed at the same time.
	At the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Anyway, he sent us a note early on saying, hey, I want to do...
	It was a very elaborate note.
	And so I said, well, as soon as the check comes in, we will put all this through.
	And then he sent another note, then another note.
	So now I got like a bunch of notes.
	So they're all in the email.
	So I want to...
	I want to read one of them.
	I think this is the original one.
	After listening to the show for a year and two days, since 756, I've managed to save up enough to become a knight.
	Please knight me a Sir Viving.
	You don't have this, I don't think.
	Okay, hold on.
	Sir Viving, V-I-V-I-N-G, the media.
	Sir Viving the media.
	Okay.
	I don't know what it means.
	Doesn't matter.
	That's not for us to even question.
	This money is coming in a lump check because PayPal decided to suspiciously ban my account after donating to the Mile High Club and show 787.
	First off, belated happy birthday to Adam, the 52 at the end of the donations for Adam's birthday.
	Thank you.
	I didn't notice there was a 52 at the end, is there?
	It's probably included in his amount somehow.
	Um...
	As well as an accidentally well-timed 9-11 vote for John.
	You guys introduced me to the anomalies of the WTC7, which is only possible because you guys don't try to sell me overpriced razors or audiobooks.
	Those razors are no good, by the way.
	You mean Harry's?
	Harry's razors?
	Harry's.
	And then my son is on the Dollar Shave Club, I think.
	Yeah.
	But the Harry's razors are, you know, they make a big deal that they're German or something.
	But in fact, they're just not the crap.
	They're, you know, and I'm sure that they're worth the price.
	But they just don't feel like a Gillette.
	I have standing in this area, if you will indulge me for a moment.
	Okay.
	Gillette was my client at one point back in the 90s for my company.
	And we helped them launch the Mach 3 Razor.
	Famous, famous Razor.
	Famous Razor.
	So all of the advertising agencies and all the companies that were involved with this launch went to the Gillette headquarters.
	And we got a talking to about how this was going to be launched.
	You want to see an outstanding company in action and how they launch a product.
	It was beautiful to witness this.
	But one guy, and I don't remember who he was from.
	He was from some agency, obviously.
	He says, hey, so do we talk, you know, the strip, you know, because you have the color strip, which is supposed to tell you when it's expired.
	He says, no, we have the, you know, you've got the brand new diamond-coated blades, and, you know, so we're going to talk about how long they last.
	And the guy goes, pay attention!
	At Gillette, we never...
	Talk about how long they last!
	And that guy got butt slammed right out of there.
	The reason why is that Strip is just marketing.
	It's just a marketing tool to get you to buy new blades.
	I'm using a blade now currently, which I've been using for four months.
	Well, you can get, you know, I'm always reminded of what we, this is what we believed in college.
	I was in the University of California during the era, and I guess it dates me, where Gillette had this crazy cockamamie razor that had a little knob on it, and inside the razor there was a ribbon of blades.
	Yeah.
	And you'd turn and you'd go...
	Oh, and a new one would slip in.
	Well, it wasn't slipping in.
	It was all part of the same ribbon.
	It was like a long, like a five foot, or like five foot, it was a foot long.
	I'm shaving over here!
	Back up!
	And so you moved the blade over, so the newer, sharper part's still there.
	The theory was, is that Gillette would bring out a blade and a razor, and I've talked about how they've, you know, the old idea of this razor blade theory, you sell a razor and you make money on the blades.
	Right.
	Gillette's gone way beyond that, talking about a professional operation.
	They make money both ways.
	They sure do.
	And what they do is they...
	The theory goes, and nobody can prove this because I've never seen anyone being able to prove it, is you make these, you buy the pack, the razor's got like the three blades in it, you know, the brand new razor just came out, the Mach 3 when it first came out.
	Sharp.
	The thing is so sharp it's ridiculous.
	And then after a period of time they start turning, like my friend said, they start turning down the sharpening knob on the blades.
	Yeah, I... I don't know about that.
	Now they only get one shave and they get dull.
	I don't believe that's true.
	I actually do believe it's true because I've seen this kind of thing.
	It reminds me of something Ed McMahon once said on the Johnny Carson show.
	Ed McMahon used to be a guy who sold slicers on the boardwalk.
	Mm-hmm.
	Come over here, you know, with the big microphone thing.
	You've seen these guys.
	Come on, we've got the slice of dice.
	Come on over here.
	Step right up.
	I've got the slice of dice right here.
	You won't believe your eyes, and I'm going to throw in a free one for Ray.
	And he says that people would, you know, you just want to hold the thing up and you throw a tomato at it and, poof, cuts it into a million pieces.
	He says, he said, was there any difference between the one you were using and the ones that you were selling?
	He says, yes, the ones we were using could cut through a steel I-beam.
	It was the line he used.
	I just always thought it was funny.
	And then I think about...
	That's one thing I think about.
	The other thing I think about is Gallo's marketing.
	Gallo will bring out a new wine brand.
	They did one called Vine.
	It was something Vine.
	It was only out for about five years.
	They bring out...
	A new label, a brand new label.
	And when that label comes out, I would recommend everyone flock and buy as much of that wine as you can, because that's the good stuff.
	The next year, they don't put the same wine in it.
	It's just mediocre, and it actually gets worse and worse.
	So they just up the margins by putting in lesser and lesser.
	I think Gillette does the same thing.
	No, I don't.
	And again, I have standing...
	You have standing, but you're not at the machines.
	The process of doing what you just explained, it would be...
	I don't think they can do that.
	They cannot just dial it down.
	But okay.
	All I know is, since that day, I have used Gillette blades pretty much four months to half a year per blade.
	And do I look like I have a beard?
	No.
	Well, you did like a few months back.
	Okay.
	That's a year and a half back.
	But okay.
	Yeah.
	Well, I like Gillette blades.
	I think they're very nice and they cut well.
	I also like a brand new Schick when they come out, but everything else is kind of mediocre.
	These German blades used by these guys, they just have a little more tug on them.
	You just can feel it.
	I don't think they're that great.
	That's what she said.
	Now, move on.
	Hello.
	Okay, where was I? We're still at the first guy.
	By the way, I figured it out.
	Surviving is surviving.
	I got it.
	Surviving.
	I get it, yeah.
	Surviving the media.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Thank you.
	I said living, I think.
	Yeah, that's okay.
	Surviving the media.
	The best podcast feature hosts who are real people first and presenters second.
	Okay.
	Just...
	Now that I've buttered you up, I need to mention you guys haven't convinced me, this millennial, to come to your side on all of the issues.
	You enlightened me to the religion that is science and the money trail behind global warming's agenda, but I still find it hard to believe that continuously dumping toxic chemicals in the environment will do no harm to the ecosystems.
	What toxic chemicals?
	CO2? I sent him a note back with exactly what you said.
	What do you mean?
	CO2 is a toxic chemical?
	And then he reneged on this comment.
	That's okay.
	Yeah, but he's still all in on it.
	And the beauty of no agenda is I'm not here to convince you.
	I'm not going to condemn you.
	I don't think John does that either.
	You can believe whatever you want.
	If you're here, hang out, have a good time.
	If you can please play the link clip followed by Obama's You Might Die Sucking in Soot, I'd be delighted.
	Well, sorry about that.
	And the funny thing is, did I even get a linked clip?
	No.
	There's no attachment.
	So, I don't know what happened.
	He wants You Might Die and Sucking on Soot?
	Yeah, he's got some sort of a...
	I don't know how he sent this, but it didn't work.
	But let's see.
	We have to stop one second.
	I've got to go back.
	He sent three more notes.
	I'm sorry about killing all this time.
	I should have printed these out.
	But he...
	Of course, if I spelled his name right in the search box, it would probably make things faster.
	And let me just read the last one so we get this all figured out.
	I do not entrust simple estimated check delivery days on Monday.
	Okay.
	I guess I phrased this section of the note.
	Poorly definitely looks like I thought CO2 was toxic.
	Yeah, no.
	To clarify, I suppose my issue with all the other possibly harmful exhaust components such as sulfur and carbon monoxide aren't the issue, by the way.
	As well as the general, you know, sulfur coming out of a tailpipe.
	If the sulfur coming out of the tailpipe is forming various acids, SO2, which usually combines to make SO3, and the worst case scenario, SO4, your car would be dissolved.
	There's very, very little sulfur in gasoline engine.
	There was some, a very minute amount in diesel engine fuel, which has been almost all taken out with the latest...
	Legal.
	Bland.
	Anyway, okay.
	Enough.
	So he wants You Might Die and Suck On Soot.
	Anything else?
	Yeah, but karma.
	Okay.
	You might die.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	Come on.
	When I first started college, when I went running, after five minutes, I started feeling a burning in my chest.
	And it was just me sucking in soot and smog.
	The smog was so bad.
	I love this song.
	It was like, you might die.
	You might die, baby.
	Barack is an emissary of the devil, but you know that he's black, and that's all you want to know.
	I said this is blatant racism.
	It is destroying the dream.
	It is anti- You've got karma.
	Yeah, I will.
	That's exactly what I wanted to do.
	Sir David Roberts in Norristown, Pennsylvania, 861.
	From Sir David Roberts, Night of the Yellow Rose.
	Please say, Calliope.
	It says say, but I'm not sure what he's referring to.
	Well, let's just say whatever he wants.
	Okay, Calliope.
	ADVRX 1295.
	Or is it...
	Calliope.
	I guess calliope is all it could be.
	I'll say calliope.
	You say the second one.
	Calliope!
	Do it again.
	Calliope!
	A-D-V-R-X-1-2-9-5.
	You've got karma.
	Good for me?
	He also says karma works.
	Yeah, it sure does.
	Sir Dwayne Melanson, the Archduke of the Pacific Northwest in Tigard, Oregon, 432.10.
	Oh, by the way, David Roberts, 861, I think is the show club.
	Oh, yes, of course it is.
	And it's not even quarters.
	He's all the way up to the dollar.
	It's beautiful.
	Yeah, he did the whole dollars.
	So we put him down for that.
	Thank you.
	Sir Duane, ITM from the Archduke of the Pacific Northwest, your coverage has been fantastic.
	Keep it up.
	How about a week come he died, followed by a why are you rafting and a karma for all nights?
	Thank God for autocorrect.
	So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
	Yes, we came, we saw, he died.
	Don't raf.
	He didn't have anything to do with your rafting.
	Shut up.
	You've got karma.
	Shut up, but why are you rafting?
	I like rafting.
	Rafting is better.
	Why are you rafting?
	PPA, Nick and Zeke.
	Wait, we have Sir Robert Alter first.
	Oh.
	Really?
	Kansas City.
	$350.
	This thing just jumped is the problem.
	Oh, Sir Robert Alter.
	Yes, Sir Robert Alter in Kansas City, Missouri.
	$350.
	I looked and looked and looked and looked.
	I couldn't find anything from him.
	I can take one quick look if that is helping.
	Let me see.
	Sir Robert Alter.
	Nope, I got nothing.
	Bupkis.
	We will give him some karma.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Thank you very much for your courage and passion.
	You've got karma.
	PPA Nick and Zeke.
	Furthermore, is there anything above furthermore?
	Yes, please accept this donation in the name of PPA Nick.
	Oh, okay.
	PPA Nick.
	Nick from Redmond and Zeke from Pullman of 292.76.
	That is three times boobs.
	Always a good thing to have.
	Plus 5252 belated Adam birthday.
	A long overdue value for value since I've been following no agenda since episode one.
	Actually following Adam's podcasting production since 2004.
	Furthermore, this donation will prevent my boys Nick or Zeke of making a donation in their name with my money and be called a douchebag.
	Oh, I see.
	I've hit them in the mouth both quite some time ago, and we're now enjoying listening and discussing about the show regularly.
	FYI, these two fine human resources are a high school senior, Nick, and a college sophomore, Zeke, at Washington State University.
	It's called wazoo.
	Thus, both of my payroll, of course, you know, you know what really galls me?
	Washington State University has actually gone to the Rose Bowl while the University of California hasn't been there since the 1950s.
	And the last time they won was in 1930.
	1936, I think.
	It's embarrassing.
	This goes on my payroll, of course.
	By the way, you know the University of California beat your Texas team yesterday.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Sorry, I didn't follow it.
	I was doing other important things.
	I want to point out that besides the entertaining provided, but I just mentioned that because people might be depressed around Austin.
	Okay, gotcha.
	contributing to the education of these young guys by providing a healthy dose of media deconstruction and critical analysis.
	I will kindly request a triple dedouching and the following audio combo, which I think is a good summary of the U.S. election campaign.
	Don't Eat Me Putin.
	Yeah.
	Don't Eat Me Hillary.
	Two to the head.
	And I don't know what this is.
	I can't read this.
	There's a bunch of characters in here.
	Coat this?
	Let me see.
	What difference does it make?
	Baby Boom Shakalaka, I think is what it is.
	There's too many here.
	There's Putin.
	Don't Eat Me Hillary.
	Two to the head.
	What difference does it make?
	And Boom Shakalaka.
	Yeah, and I noticed that he also wants me to put his boys on the birthday list.
	So I'm putting that on.
	That's Nick's birthday was September 13th.
	Zeke's was September 18th.
	Call out is welcome.
	All right.
	Keep it up.
	Love and light.
	PPA, Nick and Zeke, you got it.
	Here we go.
	Boo-tack!
	Sorry, Clinton.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	Boo-shaka-laka.
	Boo-shaka-laka!
	You've got karma.
	Bam!
	That's actually not bad.
	That's a pretty good combo.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Sir Craig in Norwalk, Connecticut.
	Two, three, four, five, seven.
	Okay.
	Sir Craig here.
	I make...
	Two, three, four, five, seven.
	I'm making an early founder sponsorship donation, advertising whatever to key help cover the no agenda.
	Gavel to gavel live coverage on November 8th.
	Looking forward to that show.
	Gavel to gavel live coverage?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Wait, is it a Thursday?
	No, he's...
	Yeah, chocolates.
	He's eating too many chocolates.
	Yeah.
	My birthday is the next day.
	I can't wait to see what president that I unwrap.
	Please keep up the outstanding work.
	I flew to New York, to Amsterdam, and it was almost exactly two hours.
	No two shows.
	Oh, it's exactly two shows.
	So two shows, six hours.
	That's about right.
	Good timing.
	Clip request.
	Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
	Karma.
	P.S. Threw in the extra penny on this donation for you guys.
	Ah, that's why it's 5-7.
	Perfect.
	Makes so much sense.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
	You've got karma.
	So Gary of Gramerica and Darren Grimes of the Gramerica Show.
	The Gramerica Show.
	It's a good show.
	$210.12 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
	Guardians of Reality, nice work during the political campaign.
	You're becoming more and more valuable as the astonishing lies in the mainstream are quickly becoming obvious to all.
	It is cracking open and you guys have played an important role and will continue to do so.
	The Grimerica Show supports and adheres to the value-for-value model and our unique and free-flowing format enables us to have long, uninterrupted conversations with no-agenda favorites like Perkins, Easterbrook, Corbett, and our latest Charles Ortel.
	I heard that one.
	That was a good episode.
	Oh yeah, how was it?
	Yeah, it was a good episode.
	Very good.
	I mean, it kind of covers everything we've already covered, but it's good to have Ortel and the family here.
	Yeah, it was good.
	It's a good place to clip.
	Our Ortel episode just came out last week, Grimerica.ca, Canada, episode 186 slash EP186, and has experienced some blowback.
	Blowback.
	Thanks again.
	Keep your eyes on a special letter arriving soon.
	It was interesting on the face bag.
	It was Rob Tannenbaum, who used to write for Spin.
	He's written for Rolling Stone.
	He's the guy that interviewed me and a lot of people for the MTV Oral History book, which came out several years ago, which is actually a pretty good book.
	It's pretty accurate.
	And he's getting all this praise because he took the Trump Foundation 990...
	And he was like, oh, look!
	$10,000 to this, $10,000 to that.
	Oh, look.
	And people are saying, oh, this is great.
	That's a real journalist.
	You're really doing great work here.
	Oh, my God.
	Why don't you go see some real work at charlesortel.com?
	That would be better.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Karma for the Grimerica guys here.
	Thank you, guys.
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	Ready?
	Onward to Mr.
	Max Power.
	Mr.
	Max Power from Redding, California.
	200 bucks, and this will conclude our list of associate executive producers after the executive producers we already named.
	Thanks, guys.
	Outstanding shows and predictions.
	Just posted ACLU campaign to get Snowden back.
	I only hear that from you guys.
	You guys are my sanity in an insane world.
	Thanks so much, Mr.
	Max Powers.
	Alright, thank you, Mr.
	Max, and thank you for your courage.
	Karma.
	You've got karma.
	Alrighty, that is it for our Associate Executive Producers and Executive Producers.
	These are actual credits.
	We list them as such on every show notes page, on the homepage.
	So you can submit those anywhere that they may be recognized.
	Putting them on your LinkedIn appears to work very well.
	We appreciate this help, and we'll be thanking other people who came in at $50 or above later on in the program.
	And remember, we've got another show coming up on Thursday.
	We do need all the help we can get.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. And no matter what you do, you can always help by going out there and propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	I wrote down a couple things we needed to talk about.
	Did you by any chance, we don't have to do it now, did you by any chance watch the Miss America pageant?
	Yes, I did.
	Do you have clips on the Miss America pageant?
	I'm putting them off until next Thursday.
	Okay, next Thursday.
	Perfect.
	Very good.
	Then I will do a couple other things, just clips that just totally made my day.
	Let's see where we should start.
	Yes.
	I have a couple more election-related things.
	This was...
	Trump was...
	When was he?
	I think he was in...
	Maybe this was Florida?
	Yes.
	He did a thing at some Haitian gathering with Haitians.
	And a former Haitian president stood up and just started railing on the Clinton Foundation and the Clintons.
	And if you don't mind, it's a little long, a couple minutes.
	Just listen to everything this guy said.
	Now, Trump said nothing while this guy was talking.
	It was kind of in a small auditorium.
	It wasn't a very big gathering.
	So this is a Trump gathering?
	It's a Trump gathering, small.
	And they brought this guy out?
	And they gave this guy the mic.
	Now we know that the Haitians in New York have, for a long, for years, whenever there's a Hillary or Bill event, they're always out there with signs saying, you know, you ripped us off, where's the money, where's our money?
	Which is, of course, never covered.
	Now, this guy, he's going to give us a little bit of history, and he talks about 1994, which was the original invasion of Haiti, is what he's talking about.
	The Clintons invaded Haiti in 1994.
	Now, we know that the Clintons had a lot of connections in Haiti going back a long time, but I never knew that the Haitians really viewed this as an invasion.
	And then, of course, it'll wind up with what happened with the earthquake in 2010, which for those of you who don't know, just go back to 2010.
	2012.
	Was it 2010?
	2012.
	No, 2012.
	I've lost track.
	And, you know, from the day one, we were on this, on this show, about the money not showing up, about hundreds of thousands of people, you know, the intense.
	And the rock and roll concerts.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Concerts, everything.
	Everyone's partying, good time, but nothing for the Haitians.
	This guy is pretty damn pissed.
	Sir, I was president of the Senate in Haiti in 1994 when Bill Clinton invaded the island.
	It takes a second to tune into his voice, but you can follow it after that.
	It just takes a second.
	...in the island.
	And I have the records about the Clinton Foundation.
	And in 1991, I was elected senator of Haiti.
	The same year, Jean-Bertrand Aristide was elected president.
	Oh.
	And I had to deal with the Clinton invasion of Haiti.
	And I learned so much about the Clinton because I was working so much with the American intelligence at that time.
	Clinton wanted to buy me out.
	And to try to appease me, he sent me Bill Richardson, who was actually congressman at that time.
	Are you following it?
	Oh yeah, you can hear it.
	Okay, so Bill Richardson was sent to go convince this guy.
	And I spent four hours with Bill Richardson in my office in Puerto Rico explaining to him how they should not invade Haiti and how this was a bad idea to return our state to power.
	A week later, the American embassy called me and they said, President Clinton has a messenger for you.
	Did not give me his name.
	But he told me, Mr.
	Assensuri, you join our movement.
	Your side will build Clinton in this invasion and will make you the richest man in Haiti.
	I said, sir, tell President Clinton for me, Bernard Assensuri is not for sale.
	I have principle and I love my country.
	A week later, by executive order, Clinton revoked my visa.
	I was then a resident of the United States.
	I am now a citizen of the United States.
	And he's pissed off about it now.
	He's going to do something.
	So after his visa was revoked for not playing games.
	In Haiti, the Clinton went after the invasion.
	They started a cellular company called Fusion International.
	To make a long story short, now it's DigiCell who is taking over.
	Do you remember that?
	DigiCell?
	No, I don't remember that.
	So Clinton's friends, the guy who owns DigiCell, which not only brought in a new mobile network into Haiti, but also micropayments.
	Everything in Haiti is done through DigiCell micropayments.
	So they took over the money system, for the people at least, the money system in Haiti.
	That was the DigiCell contract.
	We talked about it back in the day.
	He's taking over and his friend Dennis O'Brien has given millions to the Clinton Foundation.
	In 2010, the earthquake of Haiti, not only American taxpayers, but the whole world has given billions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation for the Haitians.
	Not even 2% of that money went back to Haiti.
	So Mr.
	Trump, we are asking you, begging you, the Haitian community will side with you if one day you ask Hillary Clinton publicly to disclose the audit of all the money they have stolen from Haiti in 2010 after the earthquake.
	He has a super kicker here at the end, which you're going to love.
	You know, I have proof because I have worked with American intelligence about the drugs coming from Haiti to the United States and how the money went back to Haiti, you know, in conflicts boxes.
	It's unbelievable.
	And that money was used to pay lobbies in Washington, D.C. during the Clinton administration and the money found its way all the way to the White House.
	The Haitian people is counting on you.
	Really amazing.
	Thank you very much.
	I appreciate it.
	There you go.
	Did he say cornflakes boxes?
	Yes, he said the drugs were shipped through Haiti and the money came back packaged in cornflakes boxes, which was then used to pay lobbyists, and he claims that money made us all the way into the White House.
	I guess Bill was eating a lot of cornflakes in those days.
	Wow.
	You know, it doesn't actually surprise me if that's all absolutely correct.
	Makes sense, right?
	It makes nothing but sense.
	I know.
	And where is the money for Haiti?
	The Clinton Foundation collected with George Bush.
	Yeah.
	Okay, let me see.
	Then we have...
	Oh, this was a very...
	Since you brought that up, does this sound like an economic hitman thing?
	The guy going in there saying, here, you make it really rich, but you got to play ball.
	So I ran into the economic hitman, one of...
	We have different people that...
	Ah, we haven't heard from him for a while.
	No, he's one of the couple.
	And he gave me a report, just casually, because I chatted for a while.
	A couple of things he thought were noteworthy.
	One, he said that Hillary's had lunch with her a couple of times, and he says she's unbelievably cold.
	Like, really, really, really outrageous.
	Huh.
	That was just like a tidbit, but the big tidbit that got my attention was that he says that, and he's been around Trump, he says that Trump weighs 300 pounds if he weighs an ounce.
	Really?
	He says the guy is, he's tall.
	He's 6'2 or something, 6'3?
	6'2 or 6'3.
	He's tall, but he says he's absolutely massively huge.
	You have no idea.
	And I started thinking about that when I was watching Trump, because I taped Trump on, he was on the Fallon show.
	And I noticed this about Trump, but I never thought about it until I was told he's 300 pounds if he's an ounce.
	Because his weight is reported as 237, 260.
	But 300 is something, you know, I don't know whether this guy's good at weights or whatever.
	But then I noticed that Trump, when he's seated on these talk shows, he's never seated upright.
	Yeah.
	He's always seated, leaning forward with his elbows kind of on his thighs.
	Leaning forward with his thighs kind of free-floating there.
	And he's always sitting like that.
	He sits forward with his...
	And that is very thinning.
	You know, if you're leaning back, you can see him.
	Right, right, right, right.
	He leans forward and he chats from that position.
	Nobody thinks about it.
	Now I notice, you know, I've never seen him sit back.
	He always sits that way.
	300 pounds, though, that's up there.
	Yeah, yeah, that's way up there.
	I mean, I don't even hit 200.
	I'm 6'4".
	Yeah.
	I guess that's why he and Christy get along.
	Hey!
	How you doing?
	I can just see them dressed up as sumo guys.
	You know, those sumo suits.
	And of course, he's never short-sleeved.
	That's true.
	He's always wearing a suit.
	Interesting.
	Which is thinning.
	And he's always got the long red tie, which attracts your eyes.
	Vertical.
	It's possible.
	He's 300 pounds.
	Anything else from the economic hitman?
	There was a couple other minor things.
	Apparently, he had some things to talk about, the Hillary email server, which I'll discuss later.
	Yeah, I have the same clip, but I'll let you play it.
	Well, no, I don't have a clip.
	Yeah, you do.
	I do?
	Yeah, FBI clip.
	We'll get to it later.
	Oh, okay.
	And there was, oh, that, you know, the Chaffetz thing?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's great.
	Oh, my God.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, I'll get more next time.
	But that's the one thing that stuck out.
	The wait thing.
	Okay, that's good.
	So now we need to pay attention to that.
	Because Trump is clearly covering that up.
	And the doctor lied.
	I trust our economic hitman if he sat with him, if he knows this.
	Yeah.
	So, of course, with Hillary out, resting up, even though, I don't know, these days, you send me a picture of Hillary with the handbag over her right shoulder, I'm just going to assume it's the double.
	I have no reason to believe otherwise.
	You know, one guy came in at me, oh, your hands are the same as bullcrap, and, you know, this is another one, he sent the picture, then he sent me a picture of Showing her, she's holding her hand up.
	But the picture he sent me, and I sent him a note back saying, I think you sent me a picture of the double.
	Another picture of the double.
	Of the double, yeah.
	This woman is, was in, the picture of this double, though, there's two problems.
	One, I think she was with Secret Service, but you can't be sure.
	And she, and she was wearing a blow, a blow, a blue polka dot blouse.
	Sexy.
	White polka dots.
	Mm-hmm.
	And it was the different Hillary.
	And I'm now, I think, because she has a puffier face and her smile doesn't look the same, I'm going to go looking around for these pictures of the other one and see where she showed up.
	He wouldn't tell me where he got the picture.
	The only way we'll know for sure that this body double story is true is if we see a repeat, if she wins the presidency, and we see a repeat of the Obama inauguration, which...
	Happened twice.
	President Obama was inaugurated twice.
	Once in front of the world, where there was a small flub, if you recall.
	And just because of that, because he flubbed the line a little bit, they had another swearing in with no audience, etc., just one press photo.
	Which has never been fully explained.
	Yeah, which kind of led us to believe that I think you're on board with that, that they're...
	Have been two Obamas, or at least a double from time to time.
	I think that was the one pushing it.
	I'll give it to you.
	So, of course, now that Hillary's out, everybody's got to jump on board.
	Everyone's going to come out and talk, and we need to cover.
	Cover, cover, cover.
	So we bring out the big guns.
	Nancy Pelosi.
	Big gun.
	And they all say the same thing, and I found it enjoyable to listen to it.
	Here she is on CNN with Cuomo.
	So why do you think he's doing well, if it's such an obvious case to you?
	Why are the polls so tight?
	And why is there such an enthusiasm gap between Clinton and Trump?
	People much more enthusiastic about voting for him than those who say, I'll vote for Hillary Clinton, are enthusiastic about that.
	Two reasons.
	First of all, I think that the polls are a reflection of some voters going to the third party, the third and fourth party.
	The tightening says that some of these undeciders have gone to that place, some of the millennials.
	Secondly, fear is a big driver, and he's a fearmonger.
	That's what he is, in terms of he wasn't born here, we're going to build a wall.
	If Donald Trump becomes president, how will you work with him?
	He's not going to be president.
	Let's be very clear.
	Where's the confidence come from?
	My confidence comes from the trust and faith I have in the American people.
	The American people are not negative, they're not bigots.
	The American people want to see some Respect for the American people.
	It's about them.
	They are our bosses.
	And when we have the debates and when we actually focus on the issues as to what it means in their lives, I think that Hillary Clinton will win.
	But what's important here, and you pointed out, is that people cannot make a protest vote for a third party candidate and then be surprised when that has an impact on the numbers in the race.
	Okay, so with the knowledge now that neither Jill Stein or Gary Johnson has been admitted to the debates because they just didn't make the cut, they did not have, and the rule is from the debate commission, which is Republicans and Democrats who maintain the illusion of a two-party system, they say, well, you know, you have to have 15%.
	You have to poll at least 15% in five polls.
	Otherwise, you can't be in the debates.
	Oh, I'm so sorry.
	You did not make that.
	You cannot...
	You're not in the debate.
	But they're very worried about this.
	You can tell the worry is apparent that they will lose if their vote gets split amongst Clinton, Jill Stein, and Gary Johnson.
	In fact, the president was at the Black Caucus, and he had a long speech.
	He was angry.
	And I just pulled a little piece.
	Because he's very clear.
	You want to waste your vote on someone else?
	You want to waste your vote on some stoner?
	You want to waste your vote on some green lady?
	No, no, no.
	This is not going to happen.
	And there is one candidate who will advance those things.
	And there is another candidate whose defining principle, the central theme of his candidacy, is opposition.
	To all that we've done.
	All that we've done.
	There's no such thing as a vote that doesn't matter.
	It all matters.
	And after we have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2012, especially in the African-American community, I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy.
	If this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election, you want to give me a good send-off?
	Go vote!
	Wow!
	Who cares about America?
	I've been working as hard as I can these next seven weeks to make sure folks do.
	Who cares about America?
	It's about his legacy.
	You will insult my legacy.
	That's pretty harsh, man.
	That's a good one.
	I'll give you a borderline for that.
	I'll take a borderline.
	Harry Reid came out, also helping, and he has to discredit the polls, which of course are always great when they're in your favor.
	When they're not in your favor, they're dumb.
	But is this a sign, though, that Democrats are getting very nervous that Donald Trump is doing a lot better in the polls?
	Donald Trump will never be elected President of the United States.
	Just so you know.
	We're going to retake the Senate.
	Senator, what's to worry?
	Well, he has a mission.
	He has a task.
	Retake the Senate.
	You know, Manu, we've talked.
	All these polls are a joke.
	A joke.
	We know he can't be elected.
	Republicans don't like him.
	I saw on TV last night they're going to the most Republican county in Ohio that's always gone Republican.
	It may not even go Republican this time.
	I mean, these battleground states are tightening.
	He's winning in Ohio, winning in Florida.
	They're tightening because people like The ones you work for, get these cheap polls that they can keep making news on.
	How about that for an insult?
	These cheap polls, like the ones you work for, you guys from CNN. The companies that you work for, you cheap bastard.
	You cheap bastard polls.
	The ones you work for.
	Roll that back.
	You cheap ass polls.
	University of Nevada.
	Because people like the ones you work for.
	Get these cheap polls that they can keep making news on.
	Donald Trump will never be elected President of the United States.
	I have an obligation to tell everyone that will listen to me to make sure they understand that he is not a person of quality.
	He's a bully.
	He's an egomaniac.
	He was born into wealth.
	He was born into wealth.
	He's lived in those mansions his whole life.
	He does not have any concept of what it is to have to work for a living.
	Oh, okay.
	Said the guy who has no concept of what it is to work for a living.
	Is he kidding?
	No, of course he's not.
	When has he ever worked for a living?
	Yeah, that's good.
	Or Pelosi, for that matter.
	So Florida is going to be a kid.
	Well, she was Miss Lube, I believe.
	Oh, I've forgotten about that.
	She was Miss Lube.
	Yeah, she was a bathing beauty and she was Miss Lube or something like that.
	Yeah, Miss Lube.
	Nice.
	Florida will be very important.
	Now, you actually deconstructed this.
	Didn't they do a recount of the recount in Florida and they found that it actually was Bush who won?
	That was fair and square?
	Yeah, that was a clip that was the editor.
	It was on C-SPAN. It was some time ago.
	It was the editor of the Miami Herald, editor-in-chief, who had talked about this and he said they...
	They put all their resources, they recounted every single ballot because it was possible to do that in Florida, and they went through every single ballot, and Bush won.
	Do you remember what that was called?
	I wish I could play that clip.
	It would be Vote, Vote Florida, Vote...
	What was the guy they were interviewing?
	It was recently, though.
	Yeah, it's not Vote Florida.
	Yeah.
	Maybe it was Bush?
	Oh wait, official vote maybe?
	Maybe.
	Let's see.
	As chief counting officer for the referendum.
	No, that's not it.
	That's Brexit.
	It's another great one we should play.
	Well, I wish I could have it.
	Anyway, so it doesn't matter.
	Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who of course is from Florida, she got on MSNBC and she told us the truth.
	That they will elect Hillary Clinton and send Florida into the blue column on election day.
	But part of doing that, right, is having to win over working class voters, these people who Donald Trump is appealing to here in the Sunshine State.
	She has been unable to do that so far, even given, again, the ground game, even given the work that you're talking about.
	It seems like it's very much an uphill climb for her.
	On the contrary.
	First of all, in the average of polls, Hillary Clinton is ahead here in Florida.
	But the reason that Florida will be blue, just like it was in 2012 and in 2008, And in every election...
	Not in 2000 or 2004.
	In 2000 it absolutely was.
	Of course.
	The Supreme Court elected the president.
	Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, although not the presidency.
	How can she have the gall to do that?
	But that's what they do.
	These are liars.
	Yeah.
	I think, you know, it's just pathetic.
	Everybody's a liar in politics, apparently.
	Yeah.
	So, yeah, you know, she said the Supreme Court...
	The Supreme Court elected George Bush, not the voters.
	The voters elected Al Gore.
	She's very, very convinced of that.
	See if you can still get up under Tobin.
	Oh, that may be good.
	Tobin, yeah.
	Or Tobin.
	Is it Tobin?
	Is it two O's?
	Tobin?
	Tobin.
	I think it's...
	I think it's...
	Tobin.
	I think it's one O. Tobin, Tobin, Tobin, Tobin.
	I have lots of Tobins.
	You do?
	Yeah.
	It's not like we ever misspell stuff here.
	Let's see.
	We'll have to figure it out.
	Okay, now I'm going to move slowly towards your clip.
	Of course, we have the elections coming up.
	We're just months away.
	This is going quite quickly.
	Everyone that I know in intelligence has sent me the internal memos, which are now declassified.
	Oh, we've got to update McAfee.
	We've got problems.
	The FBI is investigating the possibility of a hack of the voting system of these United States.
	A government official acknowledges that the Department of Homeland Security got a, quote, late start protecting election systems from a cyber attack.
	As for the motive, Elaine, experts see this latest intrusion as another way for Russia to thumb its nose at the U.S. Well, Jeff, given that quote-unquote late start, how much of a scramble is it going to be for authorities to protect these systems at this point?
	Well, there is a scramble underway to get information to state election boards as soon as possible.
	DHS is reaching out to them.
	There is this effort to share information in case of intrusions, but also to lay down protocols and procedures to protect systems against intrusions.
	All right, so we're very, very worried about this.
	And of course, it's Russia.
	We all know it's Russia.
	We're just going to stick with the Russia thing.
	Just say it's Russia.
	Donna Brazile, who is now in charge of the Democratic National Party, she is the interim chairwoman ever since Debbie Wasserman Schultz was kicked out because of the obvious rigging of the system that was going on against Bernie Sanders.
	She was on Brolf, and I don't care.
	She doesn't care, I should say.
	She doesn't care.
	I don't care what evidence or no evidence.
	Russia is responsible for everything.
	They are horrible.
	They're messing with our elections.
	And also, listen to Donna Brazile.
	She has a very interesting speech impediment.
	Sometimes her R's come out as L's, and it's very interesting to listen to her speak with Brolf.
	I want to get an update, Donna, on the hack that occurred at the Democratic National.
	You're the interim chair right now because of the hack.
	Have you been told by authorities that it definitely was the Russians that hacked the DNC? You know, immediately after the attack on the Democratic National...
	She starts immediately.
	Immediately.
	The woman can't speak.
	Immediately.
	You know, immediately after the attack on the Democratic National Committee, we hired a very, very good company, CrowdStrike.
	Oh, yeah, it's CrowdStrike with their threat vector map.
	CrowdStrike, who has profit warnings because they're saying, well, it doesn't look like there's a lot of cyber business for us.
	Maybe time to ratchet it up, CrowdStrike.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Start this over and consider backing off on the speech impediment concept.
	Okay.
	And ask yourself, drunk or not drunk?
	Seriously.
	Okay.
	So I'll back off the speech impediment and I'll just say, is it drunk or not drunk?
	Drunk or not drunk?
	I want to get an update, Donna, on the hack that occurred at the Democratic National.
	You're the interim chair right now because of the hack.
	Have you been told by authorities that it definitely was the Russians that hacked the DNC? You know, immediately after the attack on the Democratic National Committee, we hired a very, very good company, CrowdStrike.
	Former individuals who worked in the government's cybersecurity, they're very, very smart.
	And they informed us that what they learned and what they found, it had traces and, of course, links to Russian services.
	So, yes, we know that.
	Wolf, it has been the most depressing, the toughest thing I've ever dealt with.
	Before we continue, I don't want to talk about the drunk or not drunk thing.
	So she pretty much says, oh, well, we have this great cybersecurity firm, and there's great people in there.
	And they say it is.
	The question was, do we really know this?
	Has our actual intelligence said this was the Russians?
	Well, we know the answer is no, they haven't.
	But we've got these guys filled with a board of directors with former government guys.
	I don't consider myself a cyber expert, but I do consider myself to be cyber aware.
	And I tell all my friends now, watch what you put into those devices.
	Be careful of what lengths you...
	There it is again.
	Be careful.
	Be careful of what you're doing, man.
	Be careful.
	I've never noticed this before.
	This is new for her, I believe.
	Tell all my friends now, watch what you put into those devices.
	Be careful of what lengths you turn on.
	And for God's sake, do not take a thumb drive out of your computer and stick into a computer where you don't know if they have the protection.
	So we've...
	Whatever you do, don't stick it in without protection down in Brazil.
	That would be very dangerous.
	Please.
	So we've learned a lot.
	We're stronger.
	Our foundation is much better.
	But as you well know, some of this information that we're seeing right now is old information that they stole when they hacked into us.
	Some information was leaked just, what, a couple days ago.
	I assume you're bracing for yet more documents, more emails to be leaked, potentially some pretty embarrassing stuff.
	We established a cyber security task force led by Ram Beers, who has worked under four presidents.
	He's a cyber expert.
	This guy is actually currently the advisor to the president on all things cyber, and he's doing double duty.
	Well, this sounds corrupt.
	Why are they hiring you?
	Okay.
	Is he working for the government?
	What's the deal there?
	Because they're hiring him for his company.
	They're hiring his company.
	They're hiring him.
	Rand Beers.
	Rand Beers.
	Veteran counterterrorism official has been serving as acting secretary.
	Oh, he was serving.
	He served as acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
	And this is a report from a couple months ago.
	He's moving to the White House, where he will serve as a senior advisor to President Obama.
	He is in the White House and is a senior advisor to the President.
	And also, apparently, for the DNC. There's some conflict of interest.
	I don't know if he's just...
	Guys really know how to double dip.
	It's like Uma Abedin.
	She's working here.
	Yeah, she's three companies.
	Something gig.
	Yeah.
	Are we stupid or what?
	I don't know.
	It just seems illegal.
	He has worked under four presidents.
	He's a cyber expert, formerly with the Department of Homeland Security.
	We have the former chief technology official from the White House, Anish Chopra.
	Well, now you know that they've got everything hard and insecure because Chopra's there with his skip logic.
	Let me see.
	If hack equals Russia, then, next line, Uh...
	Then say...
	PUTIN! Nicole Wong.
	We have a great team, Michael Sussman, our lawyer, who's a former federal official.
	Of course, we've got a lawyer.
	We've got a lawyer.
	We've got a great team, including a lawyer.
	We have a great team, Michael Sussman, our lawyer, who's a former federal official.
	So I'm confident that we have a great team around us.
	We have a wonderful, experienced group of people who are helping us protect not just our data, but protect our building and all our other resources.
	Drunk Club.
	What do you think?
	I don't think she was drunk.
	I think that's just how she speaks.
	I don't know what it was.
	She didn't sound right.
	No.
	And this kicked off just a few days of incredible Putin bashing and Russia bashing, which will eventually lead up to what happened in Syria.
	We're still in the UK. They have now, since the hack, the Russian hack, obviously, of the World Anti-Doping Association, WADA, now includes British athletes.
	There's just more information coming out.
	I got a report here from BBC. Here's the intro to their story on the Russian hacking of the World Anti-Doping Association.
	The World Anti-Doping Agency, WADA, says Russian hackers have leaked the confidential medical records of 25 athletes from eight different countries.
	The information relates to athletes who have a verified medical need, being allowed to legally use otherwise banned substances.
	The athletes include the British cyclists Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome.
	So this is new, and now the BBC is all over this.
	Remember, nothing has been proven, although I think we can safely say this probably was a Russian hack.
	If anything was the Russians.
	If anything it was the Russians.
	Because they're irked.
	And so they bring in their correspondent from Moscow.
	Yes, there is investigation conducted by New York Times, which suggests that there might be Russian.
	And yes, many security experts say that, you know, some security keychains that they have been using and also instruments, phishing instruments they have been using, they do look quite similar to those which are used by the Russian hackers.
	And they look quite similar to those which were used by the group who hacked Russia.
	And this makes us believe and make us suggest that they are Russian hackers and they might be connected to the state, but we should be really careful.
	Alex, what do these medical details reveal?
	Well, it's similar to what was revealed on Tuesday by this group known as Fancy Bears when they...
	Yeah, I keep hearing this.
	So, first of all, this Moscow correspondent quotes the New York Times, cites the New York Times, saying they had keychains and tools, and then he's like, Fancy Bear, and there was, what's the other one?
	Brown Bear, Black Bear.
	I think we should have our own hacking name.
	We need to have our own Russian-like hacking name, and I have an idea.
	Okay.
	Huggy Bear.
	Huggy Bear.
	Come on.
	Huggy Bear.
	Yeah, that'd be great.
	Oh, it's obviously Huggy Bear's in there.
	Huggy Bear.
	Got inside the database, Wilder's database.
	In this case, it was the database for athletes competing at the Rio Olympics.
	And they released medical...
	information about these athletes.
	On Tuesday, it was all female American Olympics, like the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, Simone Biles, the gymnast, who won gold medals.
	Today, 25 athletes from eight different countries, and they include ten from the USA, five from Germany, five from Britain, including Chris Froome, the Tour de France champion, and Bradley Williams, who won a gold medal.
	At the Rio Olympics.
	Again, most of them, they're detailing their therapeutic use exemptions.
	These are athletes who are allowed to use substances which would otherwise be banned because they have a medical condition and they can prove that this is the only medication that they can take in order for them to compete.
	I think the Russians have a point here.
	No, they have an excellent point.
	They have a huge point.
	Because out of the blue, they throw this, although they were in the Olympics, Venus and Serena.
	It seems that the Russians, at least the fan base of Maria Sharapova, I would think might be involved in this.
	Ah, because she got kicked over.
	She got really royally screwed.
	She got reamed.
	Yeah, she did.
	I mean, she may have been dishonest, and she lied, and what she was taking was mild.
	There's nothing that, you know, she has a heart condition or something, and there's some drug that's related to that, but I could see some cyber kids.
	I'm sorry.
	What?
	I was going to continue the report.
	Oh, I was going to say some cyber kids are doing this.
	Oh, totally.
	It's unfair, it seems.
	For them to compete.
	And WADA is quite clear, isn't it, about these cyber attacks, why they're happening?
	Yes, it's firmly pinned the blame on Russia.
	And it says today in their statement they released, it said it was in retaliation, they thought, to the WADA-led investigations, one by Dick Pound, the other by Richard McLaren.
	Both of them found that they've been state-sponsored doping in Russia for many, many years.
	And that's then led to the suspension of Russian track and field athletes in Rio and the total ban of the Rio Paralympic team.
	The Russian Paralympic team, I should say.
	Olga, Vada calling on Russia to help stop the hacking.
	What's been reaction in Moscow?
	Well, it's interesting because two days ago when the first documents were released, the Russian sports minister denied any involvement of Russian state and of There you
	go.
	There you go.
	So we had this incident take place, which is no longer going to be discussed because we won't be talking about bombs and pressure cookers and knives for the next cycle of news.
	As far as I understood, starting on Tuesday, we had a ceasefire that was negotiated by Lavrov and Kerry.
	A ceasefire that if we made it through a week, then we could continue talking and figure stuff out.
	And what apparently happened is U.S. jets came in and took out a whole bunch of Syrian fighters.
	Now, I thought initially they might have been FSA, the Free Syrian Army.
	No, no.
	These were Syrians.
	These were Syrians, yeah.
	There's another thing going on, which I do have a clip of after you're done, going on with the FreeSyrians.
	This one I will blame on the Russia's odds.
	I want to get to that.
	First, then I'll play just a background on what happened.
	This is Euronews.
	The U.S. and Russia say they want to extend the ceasefire they've brokered in Syria.
	But the truce looks shaky, undermined by increasing violence and a failure to deliver aid.
	I love this report, actually.
	So every pause he takes is just insert some shooting.
	Yeah, that's great.
	Well, the fighting continues in Syria, and it looks like the Russians are probably to blame, but America came in and they killed everybody.
	And, well, that's the update here from Syria.
	Moscow says UN Security Council backing looks unlikely because America doesn't want to share documents about the agreements with the body.
	A closed-door briefing to the Council was cancelled on Friday at the last minute.
	We're ready to extend the ceasefire for another 72 hours, he says.
	We're expecting from the American side decisive actions aimed at influencing armed groups under its control in order for them to strictly abide by the September the 9th agreement.
	Otherwise, the situation in Syria can get out of control.
	The main dispute of the truth so far is over aid for Aleppo.
	Pro-government forces encircled the rebel zone this month, trapping civilians there with no way to bring in food.
	The White House said on Friday that it was deeply concerned that the government continues to block the flow of humanitarian help.
	And I think that is a part of this.
	Now, first of all, unbelievably, CENTCOM Command admitted this mistake.
	Yeah, we messed up.
	Sorry.
	If you look where this actually took place, the name of this place is Deriza.
	How do you pronounce this?
	The CENTCOM Command General.
	Who is it?
	I don't remember.
	I can't remember his name, but he's all dolled up like Petraeus used to be.
	Oh, he's got all his stuff on.
	His stuff's hanging from him.
	Yeah, he's got all his stuff on.
	Okay, very good.
	But this particular area...
	I don't know why I can't find it in my show notes.
	This particular area is right on the access road which leads into Aleppo.
	So, you know, either that had to be opened up in order for aid to come in or whatever it was, but it's not just an accidental spot where this took place.
	The Russians then said, we need an immediate United Nations Security Council meeting.
	Samantha Power, our ambassador to the United Nations, said...
	I don't think so.
	We are still gathering information at this time, but we have been able to confirm that earlier today the United States struck what we believe to be an ISIL target.
	We halted the attack when we were informed by Russia that it was possible that we were striking Syrian regime military personnel and vehicles.
	We are investigating the incident.
	If we determined that we did indeed strike Syrian military personnel, that was not our intention.
	Sorry.
	How did the Russians know and we didn't?
	The Russians, they work with the Syrian army.
	Ah, that's how they do.
	Of course they do, yeah.
	Intention.
	And we, of course, regret the loss of life.
	This said, even by Russia's standards, tonight's stunt, a stunt replete with moralism and grandstanding, is uniquely cynical and hypocritical.
	Since 2011, the Assad regime has been intentionally Okay, well, I find that to be pretty weak, Ms.
	Power.
	Just, you know, immediately turn it into a political football, saying, oh, it's a stunt.
	Stunt.
	I love the word stunt.
	Well, it sounds even better with a Russian accent.
	Here's the Russian ambassador to the United Nations with his response.
	As you know, we convened the consultations of the Security Council because the United States has bombed the Syrian armed forces in Deir Azor.
	And Deir Azor, of course, is one of the most important symbols of resistance against ISIL. I've never seen such an extraordinary display of American heavy-handedness as...
	We're witnessing today.
	As I was talking in the Security Council, sharing our analysis and frustration of the situation of Syria, Ambassador Power chose to talk to you.
	The only thing her deputy had to say in response to my comments was that the U.S. is investigating what has happened at Darazor.
	As Ambassador Power walked in, first thing she said, she was not interested in what I had to say, because what I was saying is a stunt.
	Okay.
	Stunt.
	Yeah.
	Now, the other part of my brain says, well, of course we're helping ISIS, because that's what we do.
	We're behind ISIS, if you want to go that far.
	Well, yeah, so if we actually, if ISIS, whoever that is, or ISIL, or Daesh, or whatever, was locked in, and they're truly our guys, and we're using them to overthrow the Assad government, Then it makes sense that we would kill the opposition.
	But this admission from CENTCOM immediately, I'm not sure what happened here, but this is very odd and it makes no sense.
	I can't believe that Kerry was on board with this since his reputation is kind of being staked on putting this deal together.
	So I'm flummoxed.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's going to be hard to figure this one out.
	Flummoxed.
	Very difficult.
	I don't think we'll get any answers, obviously.
	Well, I wanted to get back on the other track where I have this Chaffetz clip.
	Yes, this is a great clip.
	Now, I've kind of cut it down as much as I could.
	It's still long.
	Let me see how long mine is compared to yours.
	Go ahead.
	Keep talking.
	This is Chaffetz, the senator in...
	In a hearing with the FBI, some assistant FBI director, I think it's the assistant director.
	New guy, Cooper, I think is his name.
	The new guy, he doesn't know what he's doing.
	And so Chaffetz dresses him down, and then at the end of the dressing down, he gives him a subpoena.
	Congress not have the right to.
	Which I've never seen or heard of anyone doing before, right there on the spot.
	It was one of the better pieces of television I've ever seen.
	Congress not have the right to see.
	So I don't know if I can answer that in a way that...
	And I'd have to say, just to set it up properly, Chavis is saying, how come we can't see all the emails unredacted?
	There's no reason why I shouldn't see those unredacted.
	How come I can't see those?
	Right, he's bitching about the fact that the redacted stuff was taking everybody's names out.
	And this is the time we were looking at the same document, and that's how we developed the Patrick Kennedy theory.
	Yeah.
	He's deeply, he's deep into this crap somehow.
	He's in the Kimshae.
	Congress not have the right to see.
	So I don't know if I can answer that in a way that, you know, I think there's more to it than a simple answer.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I'm asking you a philosophical question here.
	What does Congress not have the right to see?
	I think that each case is...
	Sort of specific to its own set of facts.
	I think we tried to be, I think Director Comey tried to be as transparent as he could with this committee, with other committees as he responsibly can be.
	So I think when he spoke and he answered questions...
	Wait, what is it that I as a member of Congress, or any member on this Congress, either side of the aisle, what is it that you believe we don't have the right to see?
	See, this is the way our government works.
	We get to do oversight.
	That's why since 1814 this committee has been doing that.
	There's executive privilege.
	Let me help you.
	There's executive privilege.
	Has the president invoked executive privilege in this case?
	No.
	The answer is no.
	Good.
	That's right.
	The answer is no.
	Is there any other situation?
	Look, when it comes to classified information and the classification that deals in the executive order, not all the information that we have in our files belongs to us.
	We defer to other agencies when it comes to access to their classified information.
	But you are the ones that put redactions on personal identifiable information, correct?
	We did on the personal identifiable information, that's correct.
	Where in the Constitution does it say that I can't see that?
	Does it address it specifically in the Constitution?
	So...
	Can you cite any legal case, any precedent that says that Congress can't look at personal identifiable information?
	I cannot cite any legal case.
	Are you aware that Congress is exempt from the Privacy Act?
	I am.
	Does the FBI treat congressional document requests as FOIA requests?
	No.
	Will the FBI provide Congress all of the 302s?
	All of the 302s, we have one set that you've been provided already.
	The rest of them are coming through the FOIA process.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	FOIA process?
	You mean I got a lot of FOIA requests?
	You can.
	That was a big mistake.
	Yes.
	Big mistake.
	And the hazing that they've introduced at FBI is pretty crazy.
	This is what you have to do to join the FBI? You're the guy that has to go get butt slammed by Chaffetz?
	That's not a...
	Poor dude.
	Not necessary.
	When...
	Here's the problem.
	You handpicked the 302s to give to us my understanding of discussion with staff.
	And I appreciate your accessibility with the staff.
	You've been good.
	And you're new.
	For your first time hearing, this is a tough one.
	But the reality is you should give us all the 302s.
	So let me say this.
	I think the director made principal decisions about what to say to Congress when he was here and also what to provide to Congress.
	Wait, where do I find that?
	Do we just let everybody in government decide that they're based on their own individual principles?
	See, it's trust but verify is how it works.
	You don't get to decide what I get to see.
	I get to see it all.
	I was elected by some 800,000 people to come to Congress and see classified information.
	I was elected by my colleagues here to be the chairman of this committee.
	That's the way our constitution works.
	Will the FBI provide to Congress the full file with no redactions of personal identifiable information?
	I cannot make that commitment sitting here today.
	Then I'm going to issue a subpoena, and I'm going to do it right now.
	So let's go.
	I've signed this subpoena.
	We want all the 302s, and we would like the full file.
	You can accept service on behalf of the FBI? Certainly.
	You are hereby served.
	You are hereby butt slammed.
	Nice!
	Yeah, it was excellent.
	That was one of my favorite bits that he did there.
	Very funny.
	Before we take a break, I have one more C-SPAN clip.
	Oh, by the way, I just want to go back on that clip.
	I think, again, I still think Comey's working for the Republicans.
	I would almost think it's possible that Comey set this little thing up.
	It was a charade.
	Well, maybe this is part one.
	To draw attention to these documents because there is somebody's name in these documents that has to be revealed.
	I agree.
	I concur.
	And we're going to find out.
	But they'll delay it a long time.
	They'll delay.
	They won't delay it long enough.
	There was a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing as well.
	You know who the boss is of that?
	McCain?
	Of course.
	Of course, McCain.
	And what is his entire mission in life?
	Sell guns.
	That's about it.
	But we have a problem.
	We have sequestration.
	We can't have sequestration.
	No.
	Which means less money for the military.
	To buy guns.
	To buy guns.
	And he had a question for all of the generals on the committee.
	Thank you.
	Thank the witnesses and thank you for your leadership and service to the nation.
	I think we would all agree that the world has changed a lot since the initiation of sequestration.
	A simple question.
	Do you feel that we can adequately, you would have the resources and ability to defend this nation against present and future threats if we continue down this path of sequestration, beginning with you, General Milley?
	Under sequestration, no, sir, I do not.
	Admiral Richardson.
	I agree with General Milley, sir.
	Sequestration will prevent us from doing that.
	General Neller?
	No, sir.
	We would not have the capability.
	It is open.
	Same.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's obvious.
	We're all gonna die!
	Doesn't that remind you of that, was it Feinstein clip?
	Yeah, the same with Feinstein.
	You agree?
	I agree.
	We agree.
	I'm going to be attacked next week.
	I have it.
	You want to hear that one?
	Yes, please play.
	This is from like five or I think six years.
	2010.
	This is 2010.
	What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the U.S. homeland in the next three to six months?
	High or low?
	Director Blair?
	An attempted attack, the priority is certain, I would say.
	Mr.
	Panetta?
	I would agree with that.
	Mr.
	Mueller?
	Agree.
	General Burgess?
	Yes, ma'am.
	Agree.
	Yeah, we're all gonna die.
	And to be fair, there were attacks since then.
	To be fair.
	Although I don't know if any of them were actually categorized as anything other than workplace violence.
	I'm rather unsure about our classification.
	That particular clip is what I consider to be one of the most galling and telling clips there is.
	About the system.
	Yeah.
	It is.
	Okay.
	Well, I have a couple of...
	Let's take a break, because I want to keep us a little bit on track, if you don't mind.
	No problem.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.

	He used the numerology calculator to come up with his donation amount.
	Yeah.
	Fuckface bag on 9-17-16 is a 3, so 53 it is, he says.
	He's taking some poetic license with the numerology calculator, I believe.
	Apparently.
	Clifton Tarpey, we just mentioned.
	Ashley Blanco in Mayfield Heights, Ohio.
	These are all $50 donors now.
	We don't have a lot of them.
	Ashley says, donating simply because of Adam's amazing analysis on the purse-wearing habits of women.
	It's so true!
	No way would I ever switch the side I carry my purse on.
	Love you guys.
	Thanks for all you do, Ashley.
	Yep, that's what every woman I've talked to says.
	Men don't know a lot of this stuff.
	They try to mansplain it.
	So we're always taken by surprise.
	Luckily, Adam, for some reason, had been badgered into knowing it.
	It's a long story.
	Ashley Blanco in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, 50.
	Israel Cesariz, Cesariz in Parts Unknown, 50.

	Well, you know, I don't remember.
	We did one for Mike Reed's wife, Julie.
	No, I don't think so.
	So we're going to give her a second karma shot here.
	Health karma?
	Health, yeah.
	Okay, I also got a note from Sir Fahrenheit.
	As you know, we break for nights.
	Could I be a bum night and ask for some jobs karma for my darling girlfriend tomorrow?
	Poor woman was let go by a KKR-owned firm a month ago.
	That's one of the true economic hitmen companies.
	Well, no, it's more a buyout company.
	They're really a private buyout company.
	And there's nothing around for her that pays more than peanuts.
	We'd be delighted.
	And he also says he thinks that Melissa's F-cancer karma is working.
	Well, that is good.
	So actually, maybe I should just double up on that for her.
	There can never be too much F-cancer karma, if you know what I'm saying.
	So we'll do that and jobs.
	And health karma for everyone else who needs it.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	There you go, everybody.

	Oh, let me get mine.
	Here we go.

	Thank you very much for your donation of $1,000.
	And that means you have a spot here at the coveted round table of the No Agenda Knights and Dames.
	And I am very proud to pronunciate thee as follows.
	Surviving the media.
	Night at the Noagent Roundtable.
	For you, my friend, by special request, we have White Widow and brownies.
	We got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnays, sake and skanks, mangoes and filet mignon, cookies and vodka, tacos and tequila, meth fluts and moonshine.

	Head on over to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Tell Eric what size you need.
	We'll get it off to you as soon as possible.
	And please tweet out a picture when you receive it.
	That's always fun to retweet.
	So you know that Duarte character in the Philippines?
	Yeah.
	There's a very funny report because he had actually done an interview.
	He is...
	Being called the Trump of the Philippines, of course, which is probably the worst.
	Obviously, yeah.
	But when you actually listen to some...
	Now, here's the clip.
	The clip starts with a G-Y-E-R. Yeah, I got it.
	Yeah, it's because I touch typing and obviously don't know what to do.
	Blind typing, I think, is what it is.
	And...
	This is the guy admitting to being a murderer.
	They brought a guy out in front of Congress and to be grilled, apparently, by a woman who's part of the drug business, according to one report, to be grilled about how many people he killed as a hitman.
	We're not talking about economic hitman there.
	Just killing people.
	But he's been...
	Hasn't he been...
	Like getting rid of all the drugs, all the drug dealers, everything, all things drugs.
	And everybody in between.
	Yeah.
	You stand in the way too bad.
	But he actually, this clip incorporates him being on a talk show, admitting to being a murderer when he was the mayor.
	But you did not go up and just stayed at the entrance.
	So we just stayed there waiting.
	During the same hearing, a Philippine police chief said at least 1,500 people had been killed in police operations against illegal drugs.
	Another 2,000 murdered by unknown assailants are under investigation.
	That brings the total to more than 3,500 people killed during Duterte's 78 days as president.
	Before he was elected, Duterte admitted he was linked to a death squad in Davao.
	He spoke on a local TV show in a mix of English and Visayan.
	Me!
	They are saying I'm part of a death squad.
	So how do you react to that?
	True.
	That's true.
	You know, when I become president, I warn you.
	I don't covet the position.
	But if I become president, the 1,000 will become 50,000.
	I will kill all of you who make the lives of Filipinos miserable.
	I will really kill you.
	I won because of the breakdown in law and order.
	Listen back.
	I will kill all of you.
	Good one!
	Kill all of you.
	I actually have a report on that, too.
	Just vote for him!
	I have a quick report of the guy who was testifying.
	In a Senate inquiry, an eyewitness gave astounding accusations implicating the current president of the Philippines in the killings of a death squad when Rodrigo Duterte was mayor of the city of Davao.
	Edgar Matabato claims that he was a hitman.
	He claims that he killed at least 50 people and that he was under the direct orders of Rodrigo Duterte during the quarter century that Duterte was mayor of Davao City.
	In one case, he described feeding a victim to a crocodile.
	A presidential spokesman denied that Rodrigo Duterte ordered killings.
	Fed him to the crocodiles.
	Nice.
	Hey, you know what?
	I'd vote for a guy like that.
	That's my guy.
	Hey, 1,500?
	I'm going to kill 50,000.
	So there was a strange event.
	There's actually a couple of strange events.
	I want to at least play the one.
	One was the Russian embassy in Ukraine.
	And nobody seems to even want to report on this, but it was attacked by the Ukrainians.
	Now they call them a hooligan.
	Now wasn't this in relation to the Russian election and having Russians come to the embassy to vote?
	To vote.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I just watched this video, and it was actually very entertaining.
	What the guys did was they bought a bunch of fireworks, like rockets, you know, the rockets.
	And instead of shooting them up in the air, they took a pile of them and pointed them at the embassy and lit them all off.
	Always fun.
	So the thing was being pummeled.
	This is the report of it, if you want to hear that.
	Russian embassy.
	Meanwhile, in Ukraine's capital, Kiev, up to 20 hooligans have used fireworks to launch an attack on the Russian embassy, taking part in the doom of vote.
	The embassy will be serving as a polling station for the Russian parliamentary elections.
	The area surrounding the building was earlier fortified.
	No injuries reported.
	The building did not catch fire.
	The suspects yet to be identified.
	Yeah, it's pretty funny.
	Now, this is a story that isn't being covered either, and I think this is a fake story.
	It's actually happened, but it was discussed in the State Department briefing.
	I don't have a clip of it because Kirby actually said, I don't know what the deal is.
	So it wasn't interesting.
	But this is weirdness in Syria.
	Okay, weirdness.
	Like, that never happens.
	News team, a very warm welcome to you.
	American special forces have reportedly fled the Syrian town of Al Rai near the Turkish border after being threatened by U.S.-backed rebels.
	This is the alleged footage of the incident that surfaced online.
	Rebels reportedly belonging to a group backed by Washington are heard chanting anti-American slogans and threatening to attack them.
	Another video also posted online purportedly shows Pentagon troops and a column of armored vehicles passing through the same area amid a similar barrage of harassment.
	Yeah, I agree with you.
	This is completely bullcrap.
	And the reason why I say that is we know that the Al-Nusra, who works with Turkey, and this is the Turkish border, that they put on FSA uniforms all the time.
	And I think that it was the Al-Nusra in FSA uniforms.
	That would make sense, because it seemed like that type of guy.
	Yeah.
	And this is something...
	I've got to get the name of these books.
	I'm sorry, Army of Conquest.
	I was wrong.
	It's the Army of Conquest, not Nal Nusra.
	Army of Conquest.
	There's a book that was written by a general in the 1960s and is still considered to be a textbook on counterinsurgency and how to do it.
	And one of the methodologies they talk about, and I think they still teach, is what you do.
	If some group pops up like the ABC group, you immediately set up...
	A competitive group right next to it, and you call it the exact same thing, and then you have, in other words, still the ABC group, but it is yours, and then you have them do a bunch of atrocities to create a...
	Yeah, like overturning incubators, throwing babies on the ground...
	Yeah, that kind of stuff.
	Which we weren't even done.
	But when I saw this, I said, you know, this just looks...
	Because the only station playing this is the Russian station.
	And I'm thinking, you know, this is the kind of thing the Russians might do, too.
	The Turks would...
	You're right.
	The Turks would be the same thing.
	But this is definitely not...
	This is a phony, baloney episode.
	And for some reason, I think it's because people are more preoccupied with Trump and his birtherism.
	It never got played on the U.S. media.
	Oh, why bother?
	No one cares.
	That's not ratings.
	No one cares.
	We're so locked into dumbness.
	Which is why I'm going to play two clips from Bratislava.
	Does anyone know what happened in Bratislava?
	No, probably not.
	Nobody does.
	There was a big meeting of the EU muckety-mucks in Bratislava, minus the United Kingdom.
	This was the big place where they're all getting together to say, hey, we gotta kind of figure it out, because the UK is really gonna leave eventually.
	I have a similar clip that I'll play after yours, and I'll bet you they work together.
	Of course they do.
	It's Euronews and has been edited for your pleasure.
	As EU officials admit, this near 60-year-old club faces an existential crisis after the British voted to leave the EU. Do we have to keep hearing that term?
	Existential crisis?
	Yeah.
	It's all over the place.
	I like it.
	I don't like it.
	What does existential mean?
	Well, how could you like it then?
	It sounds good.
	Oh, okay.
	What does existential mean?
	Since you don't like it.
	You have to look it up.
	I'm going to.
	I don't know what the hell it means.
	Of or relating to existence.
	Concerned with existence.
	Oh, so this means you will be out of existence.
	Especially human existence as viewed in the theories of the existentialism.
	Oh, okay.
	So this means they could be extinct.
	Well, that fits right in.
	...year-old club faces an existential crisis.
	Okay, makes sense now.
	After the British voted to leave the EU, splits have emerged on key policies such as migration and defence.
	Time then in true Brussels tradition for a summit without the UK for a show of unity.
	Whoops!
	Angela Merkel said in Bratislava, Slovakia, We've agreed that Europe, in the critical situation in which it finds itself after the referendum in Britain, but also because of other issues that we have, that we must jointly agree on an agenda, that we must have a working plan to be able to handle the that we must jointly agree on an agenda, that we must have a working plan to be able to handle the
	The British will need to work out whether they're willing to swap their current terms for access to the single market in return for tighter immigration controls.
	But the leader chairing this meeting said there'd be no a la carte approach for the UK.
	It's nothing controversial among the 27 leaders that, This is Donald Tusk.
	Donald Tusk is the current rotating president from Poland.
	Our procedures, our rules described very precisely in our treaty are to protect our interests.
	I mean the 27 countries, not a living country.
	He says living, but he means leaving.
	The leaders may want to project the image of being one big happy family.
	It will take more than just talk to win back the trust of voters.
	Other Eurosceptic parties are making gains across the continent.
	EU officials know they need to make a better case for Europe, otherwise Brexit may not be a one-off.
	No, it may not be a one-off.
	And Italy seems to be a problem child in all of this.
	And that's my clip.
	I have Matteo Renzi.
	Do you have that one?
	Yeah.
	Oh, well, I'll play yours then.
	Which one is it?
	A big EU confab?
	Yep.
	Let's go.
	Italy's Prime Minister has destroyed the illusion of a united Europe after refusing to even take part in a joint media conference at the EU summit in the Slovak capital, Bratislava.
	Matteo Renzi said he refused to pretend that he agrees with France and Germany.
	The meeting of the 27 heads of state was meant to create a roadmap for the, quote, union after Brexit.
	However, Italy's leader was far from the only one to shatter the facade of unity.
	Peter Oliver investigates.
	Well, on the surface, the meeting in Bratislava was all friends coming together to push towards a brighter future for a post-Brexit EU.
	However, under the surface, things weren't quite as rosy as that.
	One of the known players in Europe, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, was supposed to take the stage following the talks with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the French President Francois Hollande.
	He was noticeably absent from the podium and afterwards he sent this tweet out.
	I cannot hold a press conference with Merkel and Hollande if I don't agree with their positions on immigration and the economy.
	But even the German Chancellor Angela Merkel was less than enthralled with the state of the European Union as she headed into the talks.
	We are in a critical situation.
	Topping the agenda is how to protect external borders and tackle the causes of migration.
	And that's before we get to the usual troublemakers at these type of summits.
	Hungary's strongman nationalist leader Viktor Orban and Poland's Prime Minister Peter Sidlow had to be taken aside at one point by European Council President Donald Tusk and told not to stop continuously criticising Brussels.
	That didn't stop Viktor Orban, though.
	He still had this to say.
	If he would like to evaluate the meeting...
	Whether is it able to change the bad character, the false character of the refugee policy of Brussels, the answer is no.
	We were not able to change it.
	Yeah, the wheels are coming off.
	Wheels are coming off.
	And Merkel has trouble herself right now.
	You know, there's elections, there's all kinds of issues, and a huge protest not covered in the U.S. that I could tell regarding trade deals.
	The Germans are not going to stand for anything else from Angela Merkel.
	Certainly not T-tipped.
	But CETA is now the big problem.
	This is the trade deal with Scandinavia.
	Thousands of protesters gather in Berlin, angry at EU plans to sign huge trade deals with Canada and the US. Opponents of the CETA and TTIP agreements organize demonstrations in seven cities across the country on Saturday.
	More than 250,000 are expected to attend.
	The demonstrations come ahead of a vote on Monday by Germany's junior coalition partner the SPD on whether to back the CETA deal between the EU and Canada.
	Analysts say failure to win a majority could scupper Germany's Vice-Chancellor and Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel's chances of standing as Chancellor in national elections next year.
	Analysts say rejecting the CETA could also further upset the balance within the coalition.
	Protesters are skeptical about the benefits of both deals.
	Some fear they'd give multinational companies greater access to European markets without creating jobs.
	TTIP talks are ongoing, while the CETA deal is due to be signed by Brussels and Ottawa next month.
	The new Germans are not liking this.
	They have zero trust now.
	Their trust has been broken.
	It's going to be a big problem for Angela.
	And then, the final Euroland thing, no clip, we'll have a clip, but it's in French.
	The place is falling apart.
	Well, check this out.
	There was a witness who testified in French Parliament, and he brought up something, he brought it up as fact, Operation Ronce, R-O-N-C-E. I don't know if you've ever heard of Operation Reims.
	No.
	Apparently this is a French military op that has been planned, good to go.
	And it regards the no-go zones in France, where the French are no longer in charge.
	That's in Paris, it's in Lyon, it's all over France.
	And this guy who testified likened it to the invasion of Algiers of 1830, which I had to look up.
	But he says there is a plan in place.
	It's called Operation Rontz.
	And when we need to, we are going to clean out all of this crap.
	And I take the French's word at that stuff.
	They don't mess around.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	And I don't know much about the invasion of Algiers, but Algeria and Northern Africa does play a role in what's going on right now.
	But this was a large-scale military operation in 1830 to invade and conquer the nasty French Foreign Legion.
	Oh, that's right, the French Foreign Legion.
	So I'm bringing this up so we can keep our eye on it.
	Well, then I've got to balance this a little bit with some good news.
	Really?
	That's not necessary.
	Let's get depressed right into the Emmy Awards.
	Oh, that's right there.
	I'll watch as my beat.
	I got it.
	Let's play the Bruges clip.
	What's going on in Bruges?
	And as of today, beer began flowing beneath the streets of a medieval Belgian city.
	After five months of construction, a brewery in Bruges opened a two-mile-long underground pipeline to pump beer to a suburban bottling plant.
	It replaces heavy trucks rolling down narrow, cobblestone streets.
	We have up to four to five of these tanker trucks a day sometimes, and that's really becoming difficult for environmental reasons, but also just in general the livability of the inner center of Bruges is sometimes threatened to that.
	The pipeline was partially financed through a crowdfunding appeal.
	Top contributors receive a bottle of beer every day for the rest of their lives.
	Now that's a crowdsource!
	There you go!
	That's a Kickstarter I can support!
	Very nice.
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	In your ongoing conquest to figure out what's going to happen with the National Anthem, there is a solution that has been brought to us.
	Uh-oh.
	And I like how these guys did that.
	They must have taken existing animation and did their voices over it and written a quick script because I know there's lead time and all this stuff.
	Yes, the answer to what is going to happen comes to us from the season premiere of South Park.
	I don't know if you've seen it.
	No, I missed it.
	I heard about it.
	You must watch this.
	It is really good.
	Fellow senators, our nation is divided like never before.
	While people everywhere fight for their voices to be heard, perhaps it is time for us to consider that our national anthem needs to be changed.
	Americans need an anthem that inspires and excites, an anthem that has something for everyone while still paying tribute to what it once was.
	I believe there's only one person capable of achieving this I heard about it though.
	J.J. Abrams.
	So they contract J.J. Abrams to reboot the National Anthem.
	Yeah, very funny.
	That was good.
	I liked it.
	That's an important show.
	It has its moments, that's for sure, and it's foundational.
	I agree.
	All right.
	Well, I got the Obama.
	Play this crowd.
	I think it's something we can use.
	Don't play it at the end of the show.
	I take it from RT because they play this stuff constantly.
	This would be a good one just to play when we're doing one of our phony reports.
	America! That's what America!
	That's what America! America! America!
	Yeah, I think it needs a little work, though.
	Maybe we can try it.
	I'll be the guy on the scene.
	Well, I think it needs some gunshots.
	Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking.
	So if you can toss to me, then I'll be the guy.
	I'm the reporter.
	Okay.
	And we've got a live report from Adam Curry in Aleppo.
	Adam, you there?
	John, it's a little tense here in Aleppo.
	The jihadis are here.
	They're changing uniforms.
	Back to you in the studio, John.
	Oh, okay, okay, Adam.
	Thanks for the report.
	Be safe.
	Be safe.
	I only got one more.
	All right.
	Did you see the latest Social Justice Warrior Noodle Boy Kid video from Scandinavia?
	Oh, my goodness.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Was it sincere or was it bullshit?
	No, it's horrible.
	It's real.
	I mean, sincere.
	Okay.
	The university is MRU, which, what is that, Calgary, I think.
	I don't know, MRU. Yeah, Calgary.
	And now, there's a video shot by students themselves.
	One kid is wearing a red Donald Trump Make America Great Again hat.
	And this girl comes over, and it's within a university function.
	I'm not quite sure exactly what's going on.
	Now, first of all, this girl is beautiful!
	Beautiful!
	As young girls go.
	And she comes over and she says, you have to take off this hat.
	And I figure it's worth just listening to a little bit of this exchange.
	If you don't see the video, please look at the videos in the show notes.
	It's a public place.
	She's completely freaking out.
	We're allowed to film whatever.
	You're not allowed to share a hate language.
	What is hate language about that?
	What is hate language about that?
	I want to hear it.
	Make America Great Again means make America all for white people, no immigrants, no people with different sexual orientations.
	She's saying, now hate speech is make America great again is hate speech.
	Because it's code, you see, John.
	It's code for make America white people.
	It just goes on and on.
	His wife is an immigrant.
	His wife is an immigrant.
	That doesn't mean anything.
	How is it?
	You just said no immigrants.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	I could have a brother who's gay and I could not be supporting gay people.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	So why is he...
	You just said he doesn't like immigrants.
	His wife's an immigrant.
	It's illegal immigrants that he doesn't love.
	You're not even connecting.
	You're not connecting.
	You're saying he...
	Just because he's married to an immigrant doesn't mean that his policies and what he stands for is promoting people of different colors being an immigrant.
	It's illegal immigrants.
	Keep wearing the ham, I'm a thud.
	That's awesome.
	He doesn't hate anyone.
	Illegal immigrants.
	Illegal.
	Illegal immigrants.
	Listen, dude, like, we're friends and I level with you, but like, you've got to take the hat off or I'm going to write the president of the university and he's going to come and talk to you because I already talked to him about this.
	It's not allowed.
	It's hate language on campus.
	You can deal with me or you can deal with David Doherty.
	I waited to talk to you in person and I've already talked to him about this.
	It just goes on and on and on.
	That's hate speech.
	Hate language to wear the red hat.
	If you wear the red hat that says make America great again, you're representing hate speech.
	Huh.
	Yes.
	That's good to know up in Canada.
	And while we're at it...
	What if we wear the hat that says make podcasting great again?
	That's total hate speech.
	You really gotta stop.
	Wow.
	Misogyny could possibly be treated as a hate crime by police forces across England and Wales.
	Huh.
	Yep.
	The move comes after Nottinghamshire police reportedly launched 20 investigations in the first two months of its pioneering scheme to tackle misogyny.
	Pioneering scheme?
	Yes, that's right.
	Nottingham's police hate crime manager.
	Oh, that's a business card.
	Hate crime manager.
	Hello, I am the Nottingham police.
	That's even better than the other one.
	What, then conspiracy entrepreneur?
	Yeah.
	Hello, I am the hate crime manager.
	The number of reports we are receiving is comparable with other more established categories of hate crime.
	We've received numerous reports and have been able to provide a service to women in Nottinghamshire who perhaps wouldn't have approached us six months ago.
	The reality is that all the reports so far have required some form of police action.
	Misogyny is a crime.
	A hate crime.
	Britton.
	They'll be prosecuting that while some guy beats up his wife.
	That's fine.
	You guys need to Brexit out of your own Brexit.
	That's really, really bad.
	No, that's what I've got for today, John.
	I've got a couple extra things.
	None of these are...
	I mean, I have the...
	No, these are not going to fit into today's show.
	We're going to have to wait.
	Let me see.
	I'll tell you what I have left over.
	I have Ted Cruz complaining that Obama's giving away the internet.
	Oh, you know, I have that whole hearing on tape, and I think that I tried to...
	I know what it is.
	I think we should probably fine-tune that a little bit.
	I agree.
	The deadline is September 30th, and that is when...
	And he's, like, just bitching about bitch.
	He's just bitching to bitch.
	Well, he made a video.
	I like the Kuhn guy next to him.
	That's his name.
	I didn't see that.
	I only saw...
	You have to hear this.
	He's a Democrat.
	It's something Kuhn.
	I can't remember his first name.
	Look him up.
	He's good.
	This guy has really got the ideas down because there was a bunch of testimony.
	This is the internet testimony.
	They're going to have to change ICANN to something or other.
	I can tell you exactly.
	We've discussed this way before this happened.
	And the idea is ICANN, the assigned numbers and names of the people who not just dish out the domain name system and maintain that, but also all the network segments and the network classes.
	Which is, to me, really quite a big deal, and that now needs to be under the International Radio and Telecom, IRTU, I think is what it is, International Radio Telecom Union, which is kind of like a New World Order thing.
	This will be a promo for when we do it all.
	Ted Cruz produced a video, which I think is funny enough to listen to.
	The internet.
	America.
	Right there.
	He's doing his best Bill Shatner.
	Space.
	The internet.
	America invented it, and it has proven to be an amazing oasis of freedom.
	Free speech.
	Each of us able to speak our views online.
	And free enterprise.
	Millions of new businesses able to be opened online without any government pre-approval.
	But all of that could change.
	Right now, the Obama administration is trying to push through a radical proposal to give away control of the Internet to foreign countries.
	From the very first days of the Internet, the American government has maintained domain names and ensured equal access to everyone with no censorship whatsoever.
	Obama wants to give that power away to an international body called ICANN, which would empower countries like Russia and China and Iran.
	that give up.
	Okay, that's just a teaser for what's coming.
	The guy I'm talking about is Christopher Coons, who is from Delaware.
	And he seems to be the only guy that had a clue about what they were talking about in terms of why they want to do this kind of thing that I guess Cruz is worried sick about.
	And it was a very interesting hearing, I'd say.
	And yeah, we'll discuss it.
	I have thoughts on it.
	Okay.
	Because there's some new information that showed up in the hearing that said, oh, I didn't know that was going on.
	Oh, good.
	We'll do that on Thursday.
	I like that.
	Okay, we'll do that on Thursday.
	I did just get in a response from that Trump hat girl.
	A written response.
	Would you like me to read her written response?
	I would love to read it.
	Okay, here we go.
	Is this the same girl you bumped into on the street?
	It's the same DNA. Yeah, okay.
	Today I got into an altercation with a guy wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
	I went up and asked him if he would take the hat off.
	Explaining a university would be a safe space!
	It was impossible to communicate to him why wearing a hat in support of a movement grown on the seeds of racism, bigotry, and exclusion of diversity, sexual and cultural, could make some people afraid.
	People came out of the woodwork around us to support the hat, and after insulting me, they began filming my crazy behavior at asking him to not wear the hat on campus.
	The video was posted and I made the mistake of reading the comments.
	I am so deeply saddened.
	I don't want to draw any more attention to the dysfunctional pawns that are being used by a system of power to oppress others.
	I don't want to state that I stand by my belief that every space, but especially university spaces, should be made to make everyone feel safe.
	We need to seriously change our culture.
	We need to equally support and express movements and gestures of inclusive acceptance.
	I walked outside after the altercation, which ended up involving security and more concern for someone's private property than about anti-oppression and overt racism.
	Feeling totally helpless.
	Only to find the anti-abortion group posing with their graphic images and slogans of sin.
	But beside them was a group of courageous and beautiful humans, holding signs of, we support your choice, and kindly warning oncoming students about the graphic images so they could be avoided.
	Thank you, crew.
	It makes me cry that there will always be battles of right and wrong.
	There will always be opposing parties.
	Unfortunately for many people, life does not exist without fear of oppression, violence, or attack.
	But there are some warriors who are not too tired.
	Some humans who want anyone being attacked being blatant or subtle.
	To know they are equally being supported.
	I'm ready to make some noise.
	I'm ready for some loud as fuck language of love.
	That is the only thing that might have a chance of helping the world.
	So be a warrior and express your support for those who are attacked every day because of who they are.
	Hashtag peace.
	Did you write that just on the spot?
	No, this is her actual response.
	This was actually the woman.
	That's her response, yes.
	The beautiful one that you described.
	Yes, that's her response.
	Psycho!
	Exactly.
	Yeah, that's the world.
	That's what we've come to.
	Hello, hello, hello.
	Yep.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll be watching the Emmys tonight.
	I'll watch them, too.
	There's a lot of football games.
	I'll watch them, and then I'll watch the Emmys.
	And I've got to go to them going.
	They have Comedy Day in San Francisco.
	Ooh, that's fun.
	It's a big event, and they're having a dinner that I'm going to go to.
	Oh, nice.
	Some of the comics.
	Excellent.
	And that'll be that.
	All righty.
	Well, I already stated what I'll be doing.
	And we will be back on Thursday, where we will bring you yet another episode of the best podcast in the universe.
