It's Thursday, October 20th, 2016, and this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 870.
This is no agenda.
Rummaging through the ring rhetoric 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 forgot to get my Confucius say of the day, I'm John C. Devorak.
I knew you almost had everything.
Do you want to do it anyway?
Do you want to do it?
You got it here?
You get ready?
Do you Confucius A? I have to open up another file.
Or if you want.
No, what I'm going to do, here's what I'm going to do.
You're going to start over.
I'm going to tweet.
No.
Okay.
We've got to move along.
Yes, we do.
I'm going to tweet the top five Confucius A written by Martin Higgins.
Oh, very good.
He's a pro.
He's a pro.
Confucius forgot to dare.
As long as you got to 200, we can do a little book.
A giblet, yes.
Always fun.
Always fun to do a giblet.
Yeah, exactly.
John, I gotta warn you up front.
I'm physically not well today.
Sounds fine.
Yeah, because I'm, you know, the show must go on.
But last night, actually, at midnight, a buddy of mine in Holland, the guy I used to do the radio show with back in the day, He said, can you do a quick hit and we'll talk about four minutes about the debate?
Of course I'm going to do that.
But I've had this cough and this cough is getting better.
The problem is it's in the lungs.
In fact, I was listening to Hillary Clinton's cough.
It sounds a bit like hers.
I'm somewhat troubled by that.
Well, you're saying it's getting better, but it's getting worse.
Well, here's what happens.
When you lay down, like if I'm going to sleep...
Oh, I hate that kind of cough, where you lay down and you're worse when you wake up.
But you wake up because you can't breathe.
You know, when you inhale, then you hear all that.
And then, so I'm waking up coughing.
I can only sleep on my right-hand side.
That kind of works.
So anyway, fine.
But...
Before this, I was going to do this quick thing on his show, and it was live, so I'm like, I've just got to cough up all this phlegm so I don't have a problem during the couple of minutes I'm on.
And I pulled something in my right side, and I almost passed out.
I almost threw up.
I mean, it was so bad.
I'm sweating.
I'm like, oh my god.
And it's still here today.
So energy is hard.
Everything I do is painful.
So you pulled a muscle coffin?
Yeah.
It's almost like if you fall off on your bike.
I haven't fallen off my bike since I was...
If you hit the crossbar with your nuts and you want to puke, that feeling...
If you hit the crossbar with your nuts and you want to puke.
I've never had that experience.
Has everyone kicked you in the nuts?
I'm sure someone's kicked you in the nuts at some point.
You feel like you want to puke.
I've never had that notion that I wanted to puke.
Well, you haven't been kicked hard enough.
I guess not.
I don't know.
Before we talk about the debate, which everyone is wanting to hear, of course, I Something odd happened yesterday.
The Apple guys were in town.
You know, of course, now they're here quite a bit because they have 6,000 employees here and a lot of the customer care service center, including the iTunes and Podcaster support system is all in Austin.
So, you know, the VP over there to Apple, you know, who invited me out last time, said, you know, We're going to have another dinner, inviting a couple other podcasters from the Austin area.
And this was supposed to happen on Tuesday.
And I said, oh, that'll be fun.
And then they changed it.
He said, Adam, we've changed it to Wednesday.
And I was all kind of like ready to say, I don't think so, because I got to watch the debate.
I said, the reason why is that we're moving the dinner, and we've also been invited to watch the debate at a very prominent podcaster's house in Austin.
I'm thinking, hold on a second.
I'm the prominent podcaster in Austin.
What's going on with this?
I'm like, what?
Who's the prominent podcaster in Austin?
Not you.
No, clearly.
Could it be Alex?
No, no, no.
Six o'clock, I roll up.
And by the way, on the list, Dan Benjamin from 5x5, Brian Brushwood, you know, cool people.
Yeah, the locals.
Yeah, the locals.
The local yokels.
And, wow, this is a fancy neighborhood in Tarrytown, which is, you know, it's a fancy neighborhood in Austin.
And, you know, the gate is open.
I just drive up and I knock on the door.
Who do you think opens?
Lance Armstrong.
He's a podcaster?
Yes!
I didn't even know this.
They should have told me.
He has a...
He's restarting his...
His life, I guess.
And he has this whole concept called WeDo, WeDoSports, W-E-D-U. And so I was like, hey, man, this is really weird.
Nice to meet you.
And his kids were running around, his wife, and it's like a big family scene.
He's the nicest guy in the universe.
Totally cool.
Okay.
And I guess what happened was, you know, he had started this podcast, which seriously, I'll put a link in the show notes.
It's good.
He interviews people.
I got Malcolm Gladwell.
I got Seal.
I mean, all these people.
And he has a presence.
He knows how to do it.
I was quite surprised.
So...
It was kind of surreal to be there.
And of course, no one's really talking about the big elephant in the room.
But I have to say, I got the impression from him.
What was the big elephant in the room?
Hello?
Hello?
Lance Armstrong.
I mean, if you say to anyone, you didn't do it.
You say, hey, I met Lance Armstrong.
I was at his house.
The first thing people say is, oh, did you check the medicine cabinet?
Anything good in there?
That kind of shit, you know?
And of course, I'm like, you know, you should never underestimate the memory of the American public.
We forget stuff.
So, you know, he's going to be the comeback kid.
He's humble, man.
He knows that...
Yeah, I'm sure he is.
He knows everything went wrong.
He has to be.
He has to be.
Yeah.
So, what was interesting, besides just meeting him and, oh my God, the art in this house, he has a Damien Hirst butterfly church window, which is, the thing's got to be six or seven feet high.
I mean, he has an amazing collection of graffiti art.
Oh, good.
I mean, totally, totally fantastic.
So, you know, then, of course, after we have a little bit, you know, we're hanging out, we're just talking, and then, oh, let's watch the debate.
Now, this was very interesting, because I don't, I mean, everyone was kind of, like, being quiet, like, you know, no one knew who was what, you know, so no one really wanted to be overly enthusiastic if Clinton said something, or if Trump said something, or Lance's wife, Anna.
Obviously a hill girl.
I'm taking notes and they thought I was taking notes about the debate.
I'm taking notes looking at them.
It was so interesting.
And Lance, he didn't even want to watch.
He's like, I don't want to watch.
It's all bullcrap and He probably has a relatively healthy attitude.
But his wife, you know, it was really interesting to see.
At first, the cognitive dissonance was very present.
And Trump starts to say something, and she's right next to me, and she looks.
I can't even look.
I can't even listen to him.
Wow, that's really severe.
But as the evening went on...
That is severe.
Yeah, as the evening went on, and there were people who were saying some pretty interesting things in our group on both sides of it.
It was fun to see that she really got interested.
For instance, she had no idea what the Heller case was in the...
Regarding the Second Amendment.
She said, no fly zone, that's great.
We're going to save people's lives.
And actually, Brushwood said, no, no, there's a problem because the Russians will be flying and we'll get into a conflict.
Don't save too many lives in World War III. That's what you should have said to her.
You don't save too many lives in World War III, toots.
Excuse me.
So as we discussed it, I'll probably...
I took lots of notes, obviously.
As we discussed what happened, I'll come up with a couple things that I noticed as we were talking about it.
But anyway, I think that Lance and I are probably going to hook up again.
He actually said, I'm kind of interested in that spin class thing you're doing.
Can you imagine me taking Lance Armstrong to spin class?
It would be ridiculous.
Get him to listen to the podcast.
I'm pretty sure he listens.
He was very aware.
Yeah, he's very aware.
Of course, I wasn't aware of his friggin' podcast.
I didn't figure it out until I was on my way home.
I'm like, oh man, he's got like 20 episodes and it's not too bad.
Well, 20 episodes is just the beginning.
You don't even get discovered until you do 100.
I bet she doesn't even get that far.
Well, of course, he has the promotion from iTunes.
They've helped him a lot, and that's part of why he did this.
And that's why he had the meeting there.
Who else was there besides you?
Benjamin?
Dan Benjamin.
I got the list here.
Hold on a second.
I can tell you exactly who was there.
What?
Say what?
Say what?
Take notes, good.
Yes, I'm going to take notes.
Here we go.
We had...
Okay, here it is.
So Dan Benjamin, Hattie Cook, she's the sales manager, station manager for Dan's Network 5x5, Brian Brushwood.
What's the other guy?
Ryan Holiday?
He's an interesting fellow.
He wrote the book about lying.
He was a professional liar.
What's the name of that book again?
We talked about it.
Yeah, I don't remember.
Yeah.
Interesting guy.
It was pretty much all interesting people, actually.
We got a nice little club here in Austin.
And now that we know we have a clubhouse at Lance's Place, I'm thinking that podcasting is going places.
See how long that lasts once the old lady figures it out.
Hey!
I don't want all these geeks at the house.
I mean, seriously?
It's like, you know, Lance Armstrong is hosting a bunch of podcasters.
He's really rebooting.
I would say he's reached the bottom barrel.
Nice guy, though.
But, you know, it doesn't matter how many times I'll tell someone that, they all look at me like, yeah, he's a dick, he's a liar.
Like, nah.
Hey, come on, man.
This is America.
The guy knows.
You hear about within 48 hours of that big, what was that, 2012, I think, when the whole thing happened?
He lost every single endorsement.
48 hours.
Everybody called.
That's why he got that art collection.
He was making tens of millions of dollars year after year for about a decade.
He must be worth over $100 million at the end of that.
And he speaks Dutch.
That was pretty cool.
What?
Well, not fluent.
I was telling him, yeah, I grew up in Amsterdam.
I didn't know that about you.
I said, well, there's a lot you don't know.
And then he says, oh, Kloetsock.
Romance.
Wait, then he says, hey, Kloetsock.
I'm like, what?
Hey, Krishma Kloetsock.
Because all of his guys in the crew, they were all Belgians.
You know, the Belgian guys.
They're the riders of the world.
You know, they're fantastic cyclists.
They've got a huge cycling culture.
So he learned all the nasty words from his Belgian crew.
He had a good pronunciation, too.
Yeah, we'll get that down.
Yeah.
So just knowing how to cuss in Dutch doesn't mean he's fluent.
No, I said he's not.
I said he's not fluent.
He's not fluent.
No.
So anyway, so that's where I'm coming into the conversation.
And where would you like to start?
Well, I can start at the end.
No better place than that.
But I would like to get...
Let's do a little...
This is going to be probably more pro-Hillary because I think...
Let's take a look at this debate overall.
I think Trump...
Wait, wait, stop.
We've got to stop.
We've got to stop.
The most important thing to me...
I thought Hillary's outfit was dynamite.
I really liked that outfit.
I love the color.
Are you kidding?
She looked like a giant bowl of mashed potatoes.
No, she looked like Mother Teresa on crack at an Easter celebration.
Now, it was so well done.
I didn't like her hair at all, at all, at all, at all.
I didn't like that.
But it worked so well.
Just the opposite with you.
Oh, well, it worked so well.
Totally just the opposite.
I thought that dress made her look fat.
And I liked her hair.
I did not like her hair.
I liked the outfit.
I think it didn't make her look fat.
You know, fatter than otherwise.
I've been talking about that.
But what happens when you wear that color specifically...
It really makes you look pretty in combination with the right makeup and lighting.
And contrast that with Trump.
Now, I got an issue right off the bat.
What the hell is going on with his suit?
And that tie, a skew, not too skinny, just the wrong color red.
And he was lit like he was, you know, death warmed over.
Death warmed over!
Yeah, they seem to have a lot of...
But somebody wrote in saying they get one of our producers.
Yeah, one of our lighting guy.
And so is his wife, I guess.
So she's a makeup person.
They both are bitching about the lighting was skewed toward her.
And she had so much pancake makeup on that if she smiled too much, a big chunk would fall off.
Well, so two things about that.
If you look at the background of each shot, the actual shading, that's the level of contrast.
And that's completely configurable at the operator side.
If you look at the blue background, it was almost washed out.
They were intentional or not.
The camera settings and the lighting was making Trump look like a washed out dish rag.
And I think there was a downside for Hillary when she laughed, which she did a lot and inappropriately, even at Lance's house.
Even his wife, Anna, was saying, ah, this is not good.
It makes her look smug.
But also, because of that, her teeth look like these, like they almost look like Like gooey, gray-yellow sticks in her face.
Did you notice that?
Well, did he have an HDTV? What was the size of it?
It was big.
It was a big size.
And it had the surround speakers throughout the whole viewing area.
Was it a 4K TV? I'm not sure.
Did you ask?
No, I didn't ask.
I would have asked.
Of course you would.
Well, I'll bring you along next time I'm visiting with Lance.
Yeah.
And then you'd see the lipstick line on her teeth.
I think for the inappropriate smiling she was doing, it kind of made her look extra creepy.
So there was a downside of the light.
Anyway.
I don't see that being any different than the other debates.
She's always doing the inappropriate smiling and smugness and all the rest of it.
I thought that overall, I thought Trump did a better job of presenting himself.
I thought he finally went after her.
Even though it wasn't quite the way he promised when he was running for the Republican nomination.
He's going to wipe the floor with her.
He can't wait to debate with Hillary.
Nah, there was not too much.
There was no floor wiping going on.
I like Chris Wallace, though.
I thought he was funny.
Everybody liked Chris Wallace.
He was very good.
He did ask the right questions.
But I thought that in a subtle way, Hillary was the absolute best at getting out of a bind.
Because Wallace actually put her in a couple.
A couple times, yeah.
And here, let's start with...
Let's just do a couple of these clips.
I've got a whole bunch of them under the name Debate.
Let's start with the best line I thought of the night.
Came a little late in the debate, but I thought it was delivered by Hillary.
It's very subtle.
But I thought it was just, wow, this was written.
This is the best line.
This is the best Hillary line.
And our need to stop radicalization, to work with American Muslim communities who are on the front lines to identify and prevent attacks.
In fact, the killer of the Dozens of people at the nightclub in Orlando, the Pulse nightclub, was born in Queens, the same place Donald was born.
That got a big laugh at the Armstrong household.
Oh, did it?
I think you probably got a laugh in the audience even though they had to muffle themselves.
Well, you know, they muted the audience.
The audience was really...
Because you'd hear Chris Wallace go, oh, quiet, quiet.
You really couldn't hear it until it was in the background.
They had the audience quite muted.
They didn't mic the audience.
That's right.
That's what they did.
That's why when you heard anything, it had to be extremely loud.
But I agree.
I thought comparing Trump to another guy from Queens who killed people was dynamite.
Very funny.
Yeah, I thought that was subtle.
It was absolutely outstanding.
Here she is.
This is Hillary on the Second Amendment.
Which I thought was interesting.
Yeah, and I have something to say about that.
Where is it?
Yeah.
Oh, here it is.
Okay, hold on.
A constitutional right to bear arms, but a right that is reasonably limited.
Those were the words of the judge, Antonin Scalia, who wrote the decision.
What's wrong with that?
Well, first of all, I support the Second Amendment.
I lived in Arkansas for 18 wonderful years.
I represented upstate New York.
I understand and respect the tradition of gun ownership.
It goes back to the founding of our country.
But I also believe that there can be and must be reasonable regulation.
Because I support the Second Amendment doesn't mean that I want people who shouldn't have guns to be able to threaten you, kill you or members of your family.
Actually, I thought something else was better about it.
I have a different clip that extends from that.
Well, first let's start.
Let me just make my comment here.
Of course, of course.
A couple of things to note.
And you know this.
It's not your pet peeve, but it might as well be one of them.
Which is that if you support the Second Amendment, you can't have these regulations.
The Second Amendment is not about gun ownership at all.
Let me explain it one more time.
As with all the amendments...
These are not rights that are written down and given to us, no.
They say specifically, Congress shall make no law, or Congress shall not abridge, or Congress shall not do this.
It is a statement of things Congress and the federal government is not allowed to do.
And that is completely overlooked and twisted.
So yeah, what it says is you cannot make any law about...
The right to bear arms because we have that right inherently.
So if she says she supports the Second Amendment, she has to support that because that's the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment isn't, oh, everyone can go have a gun.
Correct.
It's not about gun ownership.
Nope.
Nope.
At all.
And then she does a pretty good job during this entire debate of pulling out, like, I lived in Arkansas, therefore.
I want to play my clip about the guns, because there were two very important things she said here, which needs to be discussed.
It was quite insane, really, what she was saying.
Well, first of all, I support the Second Amendment.
It's a little replay of yours, but we'll get there.
18 wonderful years.
I represented upstate New York.
I understand and respect the tradition of gun ownership.
It goes back to the founding of our country.
But I also believe that there can be and must be reasonable regulation.
Because I support the Second Amendment doesn't mean that I want people who shouldn't have guns to be able to threaten you, kill, you are members of your family.
Kill!
And so when I think about what we need to do, we have 33,000 people a year who...
You know, the tweets were going crazy.
She threw out the magic number!
Now we need to say something about this.
I'll finish this 40 more seconds and I need to talk about the 33,000.
...die from guns.
I think we need comprehensive background checks.
We need to close the online loophole, close the gun show loophole.
There is no gun show loophole.
It was interesting, John, because when she said that, the room at the Armstrong house, everyone, yes, head shaking, yes, yes, yes, get rid of the gun show loophole, yes!
And I don't blame them.
It's just lack of knowledge.
There's other matters that I think are sensible, that are the kind of reforms that would make a difference, that are not in any way conflicting with the Second Amendment.
You mentioned the Heller decision and what I was saying.
That you referenced, Chris, was that I disagreed with the court applied the Second Amendment in that case because what the District of Columbia was trying to do was to protect toddlers from guns.
This was the funniest thing I heard.
And I don't think anyone else caught it because you have to know what the D.C. versus Heller is.
And this was not even that long ago.
This was...
2008, I think, the Heller case.
And it was about a law that...
That requires a gun owner to have their guns unloaded, locked with a trigger guard, and ammunition and guns separated in two different safes.
And that's where she comes up with, well, this is the toddler loophole, so we don't have toddlers grabbing guns and shooting themselves in the head.
But that was not at all what the opinion was about, or what this case was about.
It really is an important case, because it says...
The interpretation of the right to bear, you know, the well-organized militia, the right to bear arms, that applies today, not just to muskets and, you know, not if you have to be a member of the National Guard or anything like that.
And so that's a very important answer.
When Trump is saying the Second Amendment is under attack, that's what he's talking about, specifically about this case.
And for her to then say, hold on, we've got to save the children because of the toddlers, that was...
The biggest bunch of horse crap I've ever heard about that case.
Well, the whole debate seemed, from her perspective, I thought was very well done horse crap.
Also, one more thing.
One more thing, one more thing.
The 33,000 gun deaths, she derives from the number 32,876 in 2015, which were suicides.
21,000 of those were suicides by gun.
So 64% of the gun deaths are suicides, which puts the number in a whole different perspective.
Yeah, we discussed this on the show before, that the number is mostly suicides.
Yeah, I know, but I have new people listening to the show from the Armstrong family, so we have to let them know.
They haven't heard this.
No, they've already turned the show off.
It's Curry guy.
Why did we invite him over?
If I'd known...
I'm sorry, honey, but if I'd known...
If only I'd known, I'd never let him in.
If only I'd known.
I'm sorry for interrupting.
Go ahead.
Anyway, the point is that she was, I thought, the slicker of the two insofar as weaseling her way out of things.
And the best example of that is the next clip.
Which is Hillary called out on Haiti.
Yeah.
And responds.
That was the other clip I had, yeah.
And yet you take their money.
So I'd like to ask you right now, why don't you give back the money that you've taken from certain countries that treat certain groups of people so horribly?
Oh yeah, it might be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the Haiti.
I know, because I know what's coming up now.
Why don't you give back the money?
I think it would be a great gesture.
Well...
Because she takes a tremendous amount of money, and you take a look at the people of Haiti.
I was in Little Haiti the other day in Florida.
Okay, in the audience, where I was?
Snickering.
Little Haiti.
What is that?
What is Little Haiti?
This is the cognitive dissonance that is really scary.
I'm surprised you could even keep your hair on the back of your neck from standing out.
Before we go on with this clip, I do want to say it later.
Trump made a huge mistake here.
I don't know why he does this.
I think they can get him on this sort of...
I think he's mealy-mouthed.
He said certain countries are keeping certain individuals and give the money back He uses the word certain countries and certain individuals.
He doesn't say Saudi Arabia and women who aren't even allowed to drive there.
Yeah, he did.
No, no, no, no.
I think you're wrong.
If you listen to the beginning of that clip, which you don't have.
The beginning is fine.
I don't care.
I don't care about the beginning.
The thing that you're left with is if you play this clip again, certain countries, certain individuals.
Hold on, John.
Hold on.
What I heard was he says, you're giving money to Saudi Arabia.
He said that.
No, they're giving money to her.
I'm sorry.
Saudi Arabia is giving money to people who throw gays off of buildings.
That's what he said.
Right.
He said that.
Right before this.
Right before this.
Then he goes into this.
Why does he not continue with Saudi Arabia?
Why is he saying certain countries?
You don't think that's weak?
Yes.
Of course.
I'm just saying he did say it in the lead-in to this.
No, I know he said it, but then he backed off and said certain countries and certain individuals.
He could have reiterated.
I agree.
I agree.
And yet you take their money.
So I'd like to ask you right now, why don't you give back the money that you've taken from certain countries that treat certain groups of people...
So horribly.
Why don't you give back the money?
I think it would be a great gesture.
Because she takes a tremendous amount of money.
And you take a look at the people of Haiti.
I was in Little Haiti the other day in Florida.
And I want to tell you, they hate the Clintons.
Because what's happened in Haiti with the Clinton Foundation is a disgrace.
And you know it, and they know it, and everybody knows it.
Secretary Clinton.
Well, very quickly, we at the Clinton Foundation spend 90%, 90% Of all the money that...
You should take a look at charlesortel.com to see about that huge whopper of a lie, 90%.
And it just got better from there.
90% of all the money that is donated on behalf of programs of people around the world and in our own country.
I'm very proud of that.
We have the highest rating from the watchdogs that...
You know, I gotta tell you, I think you missed something there.
I think you missed something really important in her answer.
She...
Hold on, I'm gonna bring up my clip here, see if I can get the end for it, because of course I had this one as well.
But she, at a certain point, rebuts Trump...
Let me see if I can fast forward to get to it.
Let me just see.
Somewhere here, I think.
Hold on.
In our own country.
I'm very proud of that.
We have the highest rating from the watchdogs that follow foundations.
Which, of course, includes the Charity Navigator, who the Clinton Foundation donated $2 million to their non-profit, who does the Charity Navigator, and they went from being on the naughty, naughty list to the highest rating ever.
Yes, we talked about this on the show.
Yeah, I know, but where's Trump saying this stuff?
Well, hold on, because not everyone knows all this, John.
Sometimes you've got to reiterate just a little bit.
You're...
Grooming the show for a specific audience of people you just met.
No.
I'm always trying.
I'm not grooming the show.
I think you missed something important.
Listen.
Then I'd be happy to compare what we do with the Trump Foundation, which took money from other people and bought a six-foot portrait of Donald.
I mean, who does that?
It just was a stop.
Funny line.
Who does that?
Funny line.
Punishing.
But when it comes to Haiti, Haiti is the poorest country in our hemisphere today.
The earthquake and the hurricanes, it has devastated Haiti.
Bill and I have been involved in trying to help Haiti for many years.
The Clinton Foundation raised $30 million.
That's what I'm talking about.
Where did that come all of a sudden?
Where did that come from?
$30 million?
At first I thought, did she forget to say billion?
Because the Clinton and Bush Foundation raised billions of dollars.
Billions, remember?
We just need cash.
Oh, yeah.
I heard that when she said it.
I didn't miss it.
Yeah, but it's very important.
Because this can...
I mean, this is...
The $30 million, we know what that was.
That was the illegal, not IRS-approved Clinton Foundation Haiti Fund, which was set up in a Florida bank account, if you recall, and that's where they sent the $30 million to.
She's saying this because something is coming about this.
Something is coming.
And you can already see the Google pages are updating.
If you look at people talking about the Clinton Foundation and Haiti, it says, oh, they raised $30 million, $30 million.
Are you kidding me?
I mean, I didn't have time to pull the clips, but we have clips of billions of dollars that they raised.
I thought it was $15 billion.
$14 or $15.
And I'm telling you, this was said for a reason.
And $30 billion?
I mean, why didn't Trump go?
Huh?
$30 million.
I mean, that was insane.
Well, I agree.
This part, I do agree.
Why didn't Trump say something he doesn't know?
I don't think Trump's never familiarized himself with the Oratel site.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Or anybody on this campaign for that.
No, you're absolutely right.
Absolutely right.
I just thought that was important because that stood out to me.
I'm like, okay, something's coming about the Haiti money.
Something's coming?
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe not.
If she gets the presidency, which I think is looking more likely.
Highly likely.
Nothing's coming.
Okay.
But I think in the next couple weeks, the Clintons do not do anything by accident.
Well, I think they do.
I think she's a flubber.
She's a liar.
She's a flubber.
The only thing I thought that she did well, and I think I have a clip of this, was her...
She's a flubber.
She's a liar.
She's a midnight flubber.
Where is the clip on here, if you can help me find it?
Where she...
Chris Wallace reads a quote from...
From the WikiLeaks, which is a really good one.
This is the one about the banks.
She gave a speech to a Brazilian bank where she said this was a topic where they talk about open borders.
Isn't this the debate's best?
Could be.
Yeah, I think so.
I think that's the one.
Clear up your position on this issue because in a speech you gave to a Brazilian bank for which you were paid $225,000, we've learned from the WikiLeaks that you said this, and I want to quote, my dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders.
So that's the question.
That's the question.
Please quiet, everybody.
Is that your dream, open borders?
Well, if you went on to read the rest of the sentence, I was talking about energy.
You know, we trade more energy with our neighbors than we trade with the rest of the world combined.
And I do want us to have an electric grid, an energy system that crosses borders.
I think that would be a great benefit.
This is what's funny.
So she's saying this, and I yell...
Putin!
Russia!
And everyone's looking at me like, what the hell are you talking about?
But you are very clearly quoting from WikiLeaks, and what's really important about WikiLeaks is that the Russian government has engaged in espionage against Americans.
They have hacked American websites, American accounts of private people.
Yeah.
So they were like, wow, how did you know?
How did you know?
Oh.
A great visionary.
That's right.
I am the great Sarnak.
I thought this was the best of the whole debate because he comes up with some solid stuff about her and she wants open borders.
She's said it many a time.
As far as she's concerned, hell with the borders.
Just let everybody be one happy world.
Right.
And she twists this into, she wants open borders for electricity.
For energy.
For energy.
Yeah, and energy and electricity.
And so, okay, and then just before anyone catches her with that bullcrap and says something, she turns the Russian bullcrap on.
So this is illegal what you're reading.
And when she say that...
She did this with...
I just thought it was so slick, the way she did it, because everyone bought into it.
Your little group there in Lance Armstrong's house, I'm sure we're all in, very easily swayed by...
She's good.
I think she is...
Yes, I agree.
Trump, when he does his stuff, I have a Trump clip here.
I have...
This is a Trump clip that says confusing or...
Let's see if we can find it.
Lack of focus.
Now, I want you to explain to me what Trump's saying.
Here's where Trump is talking about.
One thing cuts to another, cuts to another, cuts to another.
And this is Trump's real flaw, and I'm reminded of Ron Paul.
Yeah.
You remember Ron Paul?
He'd be talking about something, and then something would click in his mind, and he'd jump.
And he'd move off, that's right.
Jump cut to something else.
It's a Republican sickness, I think.
I don't know what it is.
It's very odd.
I think it's because they do free association as they think, and then they jump, expecting you.
And I could do it, by the way.
I could follow Ron Paul.
I know what he was saying.
But if you were not someone who could follow Ron Paul, you'd think the guy was clinically insane.
Those people I don't know.
Oh, sorry.
Now Trump's the same way.
I'm just going to hit it.
Those people, I don't know those people.
I have a feeling how they came.
I believe it was her campaign that did it.
Just like if you look at what came out today on the clips where I was wondering.
Mistake number one.
Mistake number one.
Because even when he said that, the clips, I'm like, what are you talking about?
Like news clips, news packages?
I don't think he explained this.
Project Veritas, which we'll talk about, I'm sure.
I'm out today on the clips where I was wondering what happened with my rally in Chicago and other rallies where we had such violence.
She's the one in Obama that caused the violence.
They hired people, they paid them $1,500, and they're on tape saying, be violent, cause fights, do bad things.
I think the $1,500 was a smart thing to throw in there because it made it real and tangible, although I didn't really, you know, it's the non sequitur, but...
For people listening, I think, are already in.
I think they say, oh yeah, sounds real.
Be violent, cause fights, do bad things.
I would say the only way, because those stories are all totally false.
I have to say that.
And I didn't even apologize to my wife, who's sitting right here, because I didn't do anything.
That was completely insane.
That jump was so strange.
It was completely insane.
Now it sounds like he had nothing to do with the 1500 or what?
It almost sounds like you edited that.
That's how crazy it is.
Let me hear it again.
Well, totally false.
I have to say that.
And I didn't even apologize.
He's also sniffing a lot.
He didn't follow your advice of blowing his nose real hard.
Too bad.
Saying be violent, cause fights, do bad things.
I would say the only way because those stories are all totally false.
I have to say that.
And I didn't even apologize to my wife.
What he's saying here, this is a good catch.
He says, this is what I've heard and this is what we saw on the clips.
He says, but all these allegations are false because his brain just clicked for some reason into something else.
Very strange.
In fact, troubling.
Troubling.
Cause fights do bad things.
I would say the only way because those stories are all totally false.
I have to say that.
What?
And I didn't even apologize to my wife who's sitting right here because I didn't do anything.
I didn't know any of these women.
I didn't see these women.
These women, the woman on the plane, the woman...
Now, that was very, very weak.
And here's another thing that was in there.
Remember that last show when I was discussing his almost all those allegations are false or this little comment that he makes where it sounds as though some of them were true and we discussed that?
He said almost all of these allegations are false.
Yeah, that's what he said.
That was in the last show.
This time He says, right in the middle of this, he says, these allegations are false, and then he says, I have to say that.
What does that mean?
It's right in the middle of this whole thing.
He drops in, I have to say that, as if he's either told to say it by a lawyer, or he has to say...
The way I took it is, that was in his mind, I have to say that, I have to say that, I have to make sure I say that during the debate.
I think that's what was in his mind, but I think this is...
It's almost like...
Short circuit, short circuit.
But when he says I have to say that, why do you have to say it unless it's like...
Unless you're full of shit.
Yeah, true.
True.
I have to say that, he says.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, as always, I think the fun stuff was after the debate.
I don't know if you have a couple more clips here from the debate you want to share with us?
I don't think there's anything else that's important.
I got the lack of focus.
Let me take a look at my notes.
Go ahead.
I think the...
I will go to the immediate after the debates, just to lighten things up a little bit, so before you get into your clips, right immediately after the debates, C-SPAN, of course, has their call-ins.
Ah, yes, my favorite, my favorite.
Well, this is the best one, and it's right at the beginning.
It's the first call-in right after the debates, and this is C-SPAN. Lance is up first in Phoenix supporting Donald Trump.
Lance, you're on the air.
Hi, so I found in this debate that the moderator was much less biased.
Like in the previous one, they seemed very one-sided and arguing with Donald Trump.
Whereas in this debate, he was much more fair.
And one thing that I was disappointed that wasn't brought up is that Bill Clinton is a rapist.
Infowars.com.
Bill Clinton is a rapist.
All right, up next is a call from...
Where are our people?
I'm telling you, it's so lame.
Our people should be called all over that.
On the Democrat, Republican, and Independent line.
Even got the URL in before they cut him off.
I know, I know!
Ah, it's crazy.
She, she, she, she, she.
Now, the big thing, unless you have more at the end, and of course what we knew would be what everyone would be talking about, is will you accept the outcome of the election?
Of course, what is implied there is if you lose, will you concede?
And I think, although I don't like it at all, I think that is probably the only avenue he had left for these last 20 days before the election to stress the rigged nature and hope that more...
Dirt is going to come up, which I don't think is going to make that much of a difference.
But that's pretty much all he could do.
I think that was the only avenue he had.
And of course, it completely detracts from everything else that was said.
Yeah, in fact, I do have one clip, which is the Krauthammer analysis of exactly that.
Now, I listened to the end of the debate on ABC, and ABC, who I think is flipping, I think they've finally decided they can't keep supporting Trump, so I think they're going to just go after him, which I have to adjust in the Leaner Report.
LeanerReport.com.
LeanerReport.com.
So Krauthammer had a pretty, I thought the best analysis of it But ABC went ballistic at the end of the thing.
The other networks didn't notice it so much, to be honest about it.
I checked CBS and NBC, and they weren't really on it that much.
They were on it on MSNBC a little bit, but it's as if ABC got the first memo to just jump all over this, and they went nuts over this thing.
And, of course, nobody brought up the fact that this is pretty much what happened with Al Gore in 2000, and Al Gore...
Still!
Well, hold on.
Well, hold on.
Since you're doing that, I've got to interject because, surprise, surprise, this morning, the people who brought that up, that very point you're about to make, was Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC. And she made this point.
It is the case that charges of a rigged or stolen election do not exclusively belong to Republicans.
Democrats and liberals have accused the vote of being rigged or stolen for George W. Bush both in 2000 and 2004 and have done so for years.
Jonathan Chait wrote in New York Magazine in 2012, yes, Bush v.
Gore did steal the election.
Also in 2012, Salon asked, is the GOP stealing Ohio?
In 2014, Ezra Klein of Vox He wrote that 68% of Americans think elections are rigged.
And he said they're right.
In 2000, Jesse Jackson demanded an inquiry at the results in Florida, saying shortly after the election, 22,000 people are begging for their vote to count and for its intent to be realized.
This last vote caused a crisis in the credibility of this election.
This is a crisis of integrity.
We, the American people, deserve better.
We should settle for nothing less.
In 2006, Rolling Stone published a lengthy article asking, was the 2004 election stolen?
They also published the interview with Howard Dean, which said this, Howard said this, I'm not confident that the election in Ohio was fairly decided.
Substantial voter suppression, and the machines were not reliable.
It should not be a surprise that the Republicans are willing to do things that are unethical to manipulate elections.
That's what we suspect has happened, and we'd like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on to work.
Later in that year, in October, Josh Marshall wrote about Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell stealing the election.
And a portion of Michael Moore's documentary, 2004, Fahrenheit 9-11, tried to delegitimize the 2000 results in Florida.
Okay, so that's a good overview of, although I don't think anyone ever said it up front, saying, alright, this is probably going to be rigged, but the Washington Free Beacon put something together, which normally I don't play these things if we haven't made them ourselves, and I really didn't want to play this because it has shitty music, I mean, not shitty music, but they cut it to music, it's dumb, but It's a minute that has to be heard regarding rigged election.
The thing that has most animated this election on the Democratic side has been the sense of a rigged system.
The game is rigged against them.
So there's a sense the game is rigged.
This is what a rigged economy is about.
A rigged system.
They'll do anything to rig the system for most of the time.
The game is rigged against a lot of people who have done their dead level best.
That the system is rigged.
People say the game is rigged.
Keeps the system rigged for those at the top.
The system is rigged.
Their obstruction is keeping a system that is rigged.
The game is rigged.
We must fix an economy in America that is rigged.
The game is rigged and it's not right.
A rigged economy.
The game is rigged.
And the economy is rigged.
The American people know that the system is rigged against them.
The system rigged against the middle class.
All I know, it is rigged.
And it's still rigged.
Too many people feel like the system is rigged.
People say the game is rigged.
How the game is rigged.
Our economy is rigged.
People feel like the system is rigged against them.
And here's the painful part.
They're right.
You know, the system, folks, is rigged.
It's a rigged system.
So there you go.
With all that rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, which no one said anything about, then you get him saying rigged and everyone loses their crap.
Well, there's that.
That's a good point.
But that clip was not something you had to listen to because the Brzezinski clip was dynamite.
In fact, if you hadn't have rushed into the second clip, I would have given you a clip of the day for that.
I really have to work on my skills.
But, that was a great clip, the Brzezinski clip, because she summarized everything that's been going on for years, although she did not discuss the Kennedy-Nixon election, which was also fixed and it was rigged.
I'm not going to use the word rigged anymore.
No.
Because of the Chicago vote, which was pretty much just fake.
And so Kennedy became president.
And then what happened?
They killed him.
Well, I guess it was rigged against Kennedy in some other sort of way.
Yeah, I'll say.
Which is not...
But let's go...
Might as well listen then to...
Krauthammer?
Yeah, Krauthammer had a very interesting analysis of this, of Trump's reluctance to support the results of the election.
And Trump probably could have done it more gently, although maybe from the sounds of it, he did the right thing because he's going to get a lot of attention about About some of these votes.
And I, by the way, have always believed that the Diebold voting machines were in Ohio.
They gave Bush the state were fixed.
Fixed.
Yeah.
Yeah, crowd hammer.
So the candidates, Trump had a really good night, but here the consensus is right.
He blew it up by a totally wrong answer on accepting the results.
And in some sense, I almost admire him for it.
This was not a gaffe.
Well, you say something off the cuff and it's what you think, but it's wrong.
You know that he'd been coached on this.
You know that his vice president had said, of course, we will accept the result and his campaign manager and his daughter.
And you know that he's convinced.
That this is something he wants to take a stand on.
And the calculation, this is political suicide.
Because what was his task tonight?
His task tonight was to stop the slide.
The slide had to do with people who are grudgingly going over to Clinton, who don't want to, have held out for a year, but for the last three weeks said, I can't have Trump.
This was his opportunity to show that they're not going to change their views on Clinton.
But if they could change their views on Trump to make him less toxic and acceptable as president and less radical, yes, they want a change agent.
They think the country's on the wrong track.
But they don't want a radical who will challenge the foundations of the republic.
Yes, you criticize conditions.
You're going to change Washington, etc.
But you don't challenge the legitimacy of an election and hold up the prospect.
Of actual non-acceptance.
And when he did that, I think it was a terrible mistake.
Yeah, kind of interesting.
Yeah.
It won't play.
It won't play.
The rigged election, by the way, according to Joy Reid of MSNBC, is really about something else.
Did you know that?
No, but I bet you Joy Reid has a really good thought.
It's insignificant.
I mean, infinitesimal.
But the reason to bring it up, and the reason that it isn't just Trump that brings it up.
Sorry, John Husted does the same thing when he's trying to undermine the opportunity to vote by making it harder and harder and harder.
It is a dog whistle to people who want to believe that African Americans are cheating.
It's a dog whistle to the far right.
You mean when he says St.
Louis...
Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia.
And what do they all have in common?
It's feeding the bright parties who feel that black people are stealing our election.
That's all it is.
There you go.
Black people are stealing the election.
That's what he meant.
It's racism.
Gotcha.
Thanks, Joy.
Well, I'll tell you, MSNBC is just fantastic to watch.
It's fantastic to watch.
I don't know how you can watch it.
You're the one when I was getting, just talking two, three years ago, when I was getting all those crazy clips from Rachel Maddow, banned me from listening to MSNBC because you couldn't take these clips.
And now you're the big listener.
But, but...
From MSNBC. That's a big butt.
That's a big ass butt.
Howard Dean.
This is fantastic.
There's a lot of confusion.
You have WikiLeaks, we have Project Veritas, but we also have yet another release from the FBI. And included in that is the 302, which is the FBI report, that the FBI agent wrote up.
He talked to Patrick Kennedy from the State Department.
And he wrote the words, looks like they were looking for a quid pro quo, i.e., you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back.
You let us change the security rating on one or multiple emails.
We'll make sure you guys get slots overseas or whatever.
And he said quid pro quo.
Now, Howard Dean, who is a bigwig within the DNC, but he's still a bigwig within the DNC, he was not prepared.
He did not know what was going on with the FBI emails, and I thought this was just about the funniest, funniest bit I've ever seen on MSNBC. So while we have State and the FBI on defense saying that this is not really an illumination of anything, how can Hillary Clinton and her team get in front of this?
This sounds like nothing.
Who's saying this?
This is nothing.
The last couple of batches of emails have revealed exactly nothing.
Now, who is pushing this notion that there's a quick pro quo in the state department?
I just want to make you aware, we've got the WikiLeaks stuff going on, but this new information is because of the notes that were taken during interviews, the release of information, certain redacted portions of conversations between FBI and state, And what it meant with that statement for quid pro quo, the assertion coming from the FBI to state.
So why would anybody suspect that the FBI had done something crooked or criminal?
Why would that phrase be used to talk with someone in Hillary Clinton's State Department from the FBI? That's the bigger question.
You know, they're all big questions.
I don't...
I mean, this is nothing.
This is somebody made this up.
This is innuendo leaked by the Russians for their own political...
No, no, sir, I don't get it.
Isn't this great?
I love it.
He's still like, this is Russia.
The talking points are, it's Russia.
Whatever it is, if you talk about an email, it's Russia.
This is innuendo leaked by the Russians for their own political benefit.
No, no, sir, this is not WikiLeaks.
This is not WikiLeaks.
Is this Jason Chaffetz's stuff?
This is an unnamed FBI official who's made these documents alleging that Patrick Kennedy of wrongdoing, that he was trying to help influence what was taking place between the investigation of Hillary Clinton's State Department.
This makes no sense to me at all.
This sounds like late in the campaign tricks that are meaningless.
There's no there there.
I don't understand where the there is.
There it is.
I gotta interject here.
This was a screw-up by the producer.
There's no way.
They brought him on Apparently, when you do any of these shows, MSNBC, CNN, any of these shows, you're contacted by one of the producers.
Usually one of the producers, line producers, somebody that does the show.
They're responsible for the show and the responsible for you as a guest.
And they get a hold of you and they tell you what they're going to discuss in advance and they ask you questions.
Do you know about this?
Do you know about that?
Do you know about this?
So you're automatically prepared or you're going to go look at it.
They'll give you some stuff, they'll mail it, email it to you and you can look at it and read it.
Obviously, when they booked this joker, I guess somebody didn't do their job, or he was just bluffing them.
So, yeah, I read that.
I'm all familiar with it, or something, because this is a complete screw-up, and I don't think it was the producer's fault.
This should have never happened.
Well, especially not on MSNBC. For sure, that should never happen.
So there were some assumptions made or something, and so they got this guy, he didn't know what the hell they're talking about, because he doesn't know anything about the quid pro quo memo, which was released by the FBI, not by the Russians, and he makes a fool out of himself, unless they wanted him to make a fool out of himself, but that's not the way MSNBC operates.
No, the guy's really trying to help him.
You say, no, no, no, this is about, you know, that's not WikiLeaks.
He keeps trying, another 40 seconds.
Some producer guy, I'm sure, got...
Royally chewed out after that little segment.
That was terrible.
Yeah, it was not done.
Campaign tricks that are meaningless.
There's no there there.
I don't understand where the there is.
It is not plausible for Patrick Kennedy to be involved doing something to get the FBI to change the State Department.
This is crazy.
We have the State Department on Defense saying that they're insulted by these allegations.
While people continue to vet what it actually means, Governor, and if there is any connective tissue that makes it look or smell funny, what is the play of Hillary Clinton?
The play of Hillary Clinton is to do exactly what she did with white water.
With the conspiracy theories about Vince Foster's suicide, with the conspiracy theory that somehow Clinton donations ended up going to the Russians to help them put a nickel mine in Canada.
This is all nonsense.
This stuff's been going on for 30 years.
Not one single scandal that Hillary Clinton's been approved of has been accused of has ever, ever been approved of.
And this one won't be either because there's nothing there.
There's no there there, nothing there.
There's not a there there.
Yeah, I told you that.
He was ill-prepared.
That was a bad, bad segment.
It was amateur hour, the way I see it.
Very amateurs to do that.
Good catch.
Yeah, thank you.
Here is my favorite Hillary Clinton...
Surrogate supporter, Christine Quinn.
This is the woman who runs the women's shelter in New York.
She's a bigwig, and she's the one that I alerted you to.
She's always on CNN, and she's making faces, and she's very outspoken, and she has a wild...
Is this a continuation of the quid pro quo?
Actually, it's about the Veritas video.
Well, let's stop, because I want to talk about the quid pro quo.
You got it.
And this is something we've never discussed on the show, and I'd like to start looking into it a little bit.
Okay.
This quid pro quo that is mentioned in this memo had to do with the State Department and giving the FBI more offices or assignments overseas.
Yes.
If you read from it.
Yeah.
What does that mean?
Do you have any idea?
Because I was thinking about this, and I was playing a clip that's got nothing to do with the quid pro quo necessarily, but I want to play this clip because this got me to think about it even more.
This is the hacker in Prague.
This is an ABC News clip.
Okie dokie.
And in Prague tonight, a Russian man suspected of cyber attacks in the United States is now under arrest at this hour.
Local police cooperating with the FBI in a raid at a hotel restaurant in downtown Prague.
Sources telling ABC News he is wanted in connection with a massive breach of user information on LinkedIn.
The U.S. has officially requested his extradition to face charges here.
Okay.
Okay.
What is the FBI doing in Prague?
And why are they part of the bust?
We've heard this before.
The FBI's over here.
They're over there.
No, it's worse.
In the Netherlands, the FBI have an office with a hundred people.
A hundred agents in Holland.
The FBI is like the Gestapo.
They're not like the SS in Germany.
They're like the Gestapo.
They're like this independent organization that's all over the place.
In this case, all over the world.
And they're doing a quid pro quo so they can get some more assignments than some other countries.
We know they're in Prague since they just did a bust.
And you just said, I didn't know anything about this.
A hundred of them are in the Netherlands.
And they're all over.
We hear these stories constantly.
The FBI is involved.
They wanted to be involved with the investigation of Benghazi.
What is the FBI? Gestapo.
You nailed it.
You nailed it.
Gestapo.
Absolutely.
But this has been going on for a long time, and the reason why State Department is involved is the same for CIA, because you need diplomatic cover, and the diplomatic cover, you hear civilian in the embassy, civilian in the Pentagon, those are spooks, those are spies.
So they have to be based out of the embassy, I believe, That is the rule, because these are not spies who are there secretly.
These are registered, and every country knows that.
And so it's basically, it's more like an office space issue than anything else, probably.
But the State Department would have to go through a procedure to bring in more agents, particularly because they're the Gestapo, and most people don't want that.
That was the part of the memo which was all that was discussed was the words quid pro quo.
And they did mention this.
None of the news outlets talked about any of this.
They didn't discuss why this was so important that they had to keep saying quid pro quo constantly over and over again.
And I'm sure the entire public is baffled by this.
And in fact, Howard Dean didn't even get it when they were reading it to him.
You know, per se, this is bull crap.
I don't know.
This is things from the Russians, the Russians.
I just find it's very disturbing.
That we have the FBI as a worldwide police department.
I don't know even who they represent.
I guess they're representing us.
Which is fine.
I hope so.
But do we need the Gestapo?
Yeah.
What point are you missing?
America!
Hello?
Yeah.
We're evil sons of bitches.
I think we have to keep tabs on this expansion.
I mean, what does the CIA think of this?
We've already determined that it's possible that the CIA and the FBI are loggerheads.
So the reason why I think they can do it legally is because of their responsibility towards the financial system.
I think.
I think that has something to do with why they can do this.
And it's all cyber.
It's all cyber related.
No.
Okay.
I'm going to find out.
I know who to ask.
I'm going to find out.
Okay.
Ask Mark Zuckerberg.
He has a director of FBI in his office.
Okay.
Now, I didn't...
Actually, I got one.
We don't have to play it.
If you haven't seen the Project Veritas video, or videos at this point, you should see them.
It's really not appropriate for playing audio only, because without the subtitles, it gets hard to hear, and it's just not all that great.
No, it's terrible.
But the video itself, I think, is dynamite.
It is.
And they still did...
You know, they haven't found the right mix between making the video professional and making it look authentic.
And the video starts off with this...
Whoever's editing it is an idiot.
It is not done well.
And of course, these are the same guys that did the Planned Parenthood video, which were discredited, and that was much worse.
The hack job they did there, even though they released the things in full, but there was a lot of problems with it.
This is much clearer.
However, the stock answer, and I love this Christine Quinn woman.
She never ceases to give me beautiful clips.
She's going to go all out lying.
If you can believe what this man is saying here, this Democratic operative, he is sending people to Trump rallies, Democrats, in to try to get them to, quote, pop off and punch them to show the violence.
I mean, how is Hillary Clinton going to address this one?
I don't grant any validity to this video at all.
Even though you hear him in his own words saying this?
How could they be fudging this?
You know, we've seen many different tapes recently in history over the past few years or so.
We put together, really focused on attacking progressive groups like Planned Parenthood, and then we found out afterwards that those tapes were cut and spliced and put together in a way that they show something totally different than what happened.
I have no doubt in my mind that no one associated with the Democratic Party or with Hillary Clinton's campaign would ever do something like that.
It is Absurd.
And look, I just, wait, wait.
You don't think that the DNC worked with this outside Robert Kramer group to try to stage counter-protests?
Counter-protests outside?
Yes.
Counter-protests.
That's what he says he was tasked with doing.
That's, I'm sure that that happened, and I'm sure the RNC or the Trump Organization set up counter-protests outside Hillary Clinton.
Protesting is completely different.
You're saying nobody tried to provoke?
No.
Absolutely.
It would never happen in Hillary's Clinton campaign.
In Hillary's Clinton campaign, which is kind of funny how she said that at the end.
So she's got the talking point.
Yeah, wow indeed, right?
This is the general message, and they're just going to stay on this.
It's the big lie.
It's the big lie.
And it propagates all the way.
These are like Stalinists.
Yeah, well, coming from the White House, Josh Earnest...
Spokes Hall was asked about.
And for those of you who haven't seen it, it's very simple.
And it's exactly what we've said is going on all along, partially funded by the DNC through multiple companies.
These rallies have had troublemakers.
We know they've been shipped in, bussed in.
We know Soros is funding a lot of it.
And all of it turns out to be, I mean, for the evidence we have, turns out to be true.
So surprise, surprise.
Josh Earnest for the White House needs to address this.
And of course, you know, none of this can be true.
This is crazy.
Can I ask you about the Project Veritas videos that have been making the rounds of late?
Does the White House have any reaction to the dismissal or the severance of two veteran Democratic operatives after the release of the latest Project Veritas videos?
And in particular, I want to draw your attention to Robert Kramer, a convicted felon who visited the White House, according to reports, 342 times, also met personally with the president some 47 times, the most recent occasion being in June of this year.
Well, that's a lot, by the way.
47 times that he saw the president personally.
This is the guy who quit.
The guy who was a convicted felon.
He went to jail for, you know, the country club, five months and, you know, a year of house arrest.
And he's the guy saying, you know, we get these people to pop off.
Well, I've been asked about...
I've seen videos that have come from this outlet in the past, and in each time I've tried to urge people to take those reports not at face value, and not just with a grain of salt, but maybe even a whole package of salt, because despite what the name might suggest, These videos have not often revealed the truth.
You do have some people that were sort of shoved out or walked away based on the release of these videos.
Yeah.
And so that is true.
And so that's why I'm reluctant to comment directly on the videos themselves.
I think there is a principle, though, that I will give voice to, which is I know that there was the suggestion in some of these reports that it might be a clever organizing tactic or a clever political tactic to try to incite violence at political rallies.
Right.
Bird-dogging.
You hear him mention bird-dogging, which is what these guys call it in the videotape, in the video recording.
They say, we call this bird-dogging, where he gets people to get in line at 7 a.m., and then they're in front of the line, and when Trump comes by and the cameras are there, then they'll start to pick a fight with Trump supporters to get it on camera.
And they call that bird-dogging, and of course that term shows up in the Podesta WikiLeaks email.
They're talking about bird-dogging.
That is entirely inconsistent with the President's view about community organizing and waging a vigorous campaign.
That we should attempt and we should have so much confidence in the power of our persuasion and in our arguments that we shouldn't have to resort to violence.
And in fact, it is completely inappropriate to resort to violence to advance a political goal.
That certainly is a principle that the President strongly believes in.
I suppose.
Ms.
Kramer's concern, with all those visits here to the White House in particular, I'm wondering, is that a reflection of the ethical standards of the Obama White House, that a guy like that, who, at least according to the videos, admittedly these videos are in some dispute in some circles, seems to be suggesting voter fraud, a person who is a convicted felon, who is an often frequent visitor here at the White House.
It is a reflection, some would argue, of the standards of this White House that that's the type of person that's here with that sort of frequency.
And I think at this point, I would urge extreme caution and draw conclusions about anybody's character based on a few hours of having looked at this video.
Because time and time and time again, Information that is released by this organization.
A lot different than initial reports.
Did you hear that?
Little flub there.
This information...
Well, listen to it again.
Time and time and time again.
Information that is released by this organization.
Information that is released by disinformation.
A lot different than initial reports would indicate.
Okay.
And that's the official line there from the White House.
Well, there's a couple of things in here that are very interesting, besides the absolute high number of meetings with the president.
And I think it's kind of, it wasn't emphasized enough, but let's play this clip.
This is Lisa Desjardins ending a long report on these videos.
They showed the entire video on the NewsHour.
They played it, and it was just, you know, my favorite thing I think we should mention, I'm sure you have a link to those videos in the show notes.
Oh yeah, of course, of course.
It was the guy saying, one of the two guys that they busted on this was, yeah, what we try to do is get psychos, psychopaths out there.
Homeless people, crazy homeless people.
Yeah, because they'll take the money and do anything that we ask them to do.
And union guys.
Union guys will do anything.
They'll do anything.
He even lowered his voice.
Like, the union guys?
They're crazy.
They'll do anything you want.
Yeah, so this is the end of the report, and I think the kicker is the conclusion at the end.
The Clinton campaign also gave us a statement saying that those behind the video are known to be misleading, but that the campaign disavows the ideas and tactics in the video, calling them troubling even as a theory.
One problem here is we do not have the raw footage from these tapes.
We do not have the context for many of these words.
We do know this.
Scott Fovil has been fired from his job, and his boss, Bob Kramer, has ended his work on the election this year, saying he does not want to be a distraction.
For the PBS NewsHour, I'm Lisa Desjardins.
So the two guys, if this was all in the up and up, why did these two guys quit?
They don't want to be a distraction, John.
They don't want to be a distraction.
Absolutely.
I'm sure that's what he said, but I'm sure what he really said was, as he just kind of did his thing with his hands, I'm through, I'm done, I've done my job, I'm out of here.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
That was fantastic.
It was great.
This is the dirty tricks we talked about on this show.
We've talked about this being a...
The Hillary's people do a better job than the Trump people.
The Trump people, he's got this one guy, Stone, what's his name?
Roger Stone.
Roger Stone hangs out with Alex Jones, and it's amateur hour by comparison.
I like that at least they're consistent.
These tapes are fake, edited.
But the moon landing tapes are real.
What tapes?
I thought they were destroyed.
Yeah, exactly.
They're lost.
Now, I know you have this clip.
You only have a short piece of it.
I wouldn't mind listening with you to the entire Megyn Kelly Donna Brazile interview.
Well, here's the reason I have the shorter versions, because it was the little part that was cut off at the end.
So what I would recommend is, let's play the longer one, but let's play this little short version because it's got the punchline that I think is funny.
Yeah, hold on.
You have the punchline, right?
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, I do.
I'm just looking for the clip now.
What's it called?
Yours?
Mine?
Yeah, it's the...
I think it says Donna Brazile.
It says Donna Brazile on Megyn Kelly.
Oh, yeah, here it is.
I'm sorry.
I got it.
Yes, okay.
Yeah, I heard it, of course.
I'm so sorry that we have...
This has not been verified.
This is...
Nobody will...
This is on the investigation.
Let me just tell you something.
If there's anything that I have, I will share.
I don't have a...
I got to run because we've got another guest waiting.
I don't have an intended to see anybody, but I do believe that Hillary did a great job.
All right.
All the best to you.
Go to Russia.
Yeah, they cut her off.
Go to Russia.
Go to Russia?
You'll see.
Yeah.
You can't really hear the last bit that she said.
Go to Russia.
I wish I knew what she said at the end there.
Go to Russia and you'll see.
You'll get killed.
She said they didn't expect it.
They would have kept the volume up on her if they'd known that she was going there.
Did you see the whole interview?
Yeah.
I thought it was tedious.
Really?
I thought it was fantastic because this woman is going down.
She is caught in incredible lies.
I know, it's great.
And some other funny stuff in there.
People involved in that campaign to incite violence at the Trump rallies and make it, you know, look like Trump supporters were violent when in fact they had been provoked by these folks looking for a fight, say that this was in direct coordination with Hillary Clinton's camp and with the DNC. Scott Fovall, the guy caught on tape who's now been fired, said this is how it worked.
The Hillary camp pays the DNC. The DNC pays Democracy Partners, our group, who pays the Fovil Group, and that's the group that, quote, executes the expletive on the ground.
By the way, you don't have to even watch the tapes.
Megyn Kelly does a good job of explaining what's going on.
Hey, Kelly, that contract, first of all, that contract, based on my knowledge...
Now, this is interesting.
What she is trying to say, it took me two listens to understand, what Donna Brazile is going to try and say is that they didn't have a contract, and there is evidence of a contract, until July.
And this apparently, you know, the Chicago thing happened months ago.
So she's trying to say, I don't, this can't be true because he didn't have a contract.
She's a little wishy-washy about it, but that's somehow part of her defense.
I became chair on July 28th.
The contract that is allegedly being referred to was not signed until June of 2016.
Signed.
It could have been already enforced.
Maybe it just wasn't signed.
I think all that evidence is out there.
Look, when you have a convicted criminal sneaking around your office with impostors that try to...
Are you referring to Bob Kramer, the head of Democracy Partners?
No, I... I'm referring to Mr.
O'Keefe in the instance that he has doctored some videos as he's done before.
But again, going back to the so-called contract that you mentioned, Bob's contract according to the...
And notice how it's Bob.
It's Bob.
She shouldn't have done that at all.
She's got the familiar.
No, that was a mistake.
Stop for one second.
First of all, if these videos were doctored, which is a possibility in today's world, there's technology that can do certain things, you would have heard a denial.
Or you would have seen people, because the kind of doctoring you can actually do nowadays is discoverable by experts.
You can look at, you can zoom in, and you can look for anomalies.
There's all kinds of problems.
Right now, I'd say five years from now, I think you'll be able to just spot anything you want.
But right now, you can't take a video like these videos, where somebody says something like, we get psychos to go punch people out, and You get no denial, so why would they be doctored?
A, and B, I don't think you can doctor that well at the moment.
That's always the tell.
Instead of saying, this is absolutely not true, it's like, well, he's a doctor, he's a felon.
Is he a felon?
Did he go to jail, this guy?
Veritas guy?
No, I think he actually got off.
Oh.
Even better.
It's got nothing to do with the facts, but there's nothing to see here.
Bob's contract, according to the records that I was able to pull at the DNC, was not signed until June of 2016.
Bob Kramer, just to get our viewers up to speed.
I'll give you the floor, but I just want to tell our viewers what we're talking about.
They may not know who he is.
Bob Kramer is the head of Democracy Partners.
This is one of the groups.
He's now been fired.
This is one of the groups that committed these acts.
He's the man who was at the White House 342 times and met personally, according to the records with President Obama, in some fashion, over 40 times.
He's now been dismissed, but he's the one saying that there was coordination with the DNC. And this is obviously a very well-connected man.
He, too, is a convicted felon, convicted for fraud.
This is obviously not an honest person, and yet you were working very closely with him, the DNC. Well, again, Bob Kramer.
Again, Bob.
I went back to the DNC the other day when this came up after we learned that we had a...
I'm just casually there.
They're in panic mode.
She is freaking out.
I just went back casually.
A trespass.
A convicted criminal.
uh... sneaking around our office holding as an intern uh... and i've i asked for the uh... records of uh... mobilized to be produced and i bob this was bob bob uh... she is dumb Does she not understand distancing?
This is so crazy.
No, she's not dead.
She's freaked.
Oh yeah, and it gets better.
It was signed in June to help us with building rallies across the country, meaning democratic rallies.
So what Mr.
Trump was referring to, and I'm sure you'll see the results, that was something that happened months ago, and I have no evidence and no knowledge of that.
Mr.
Kramer stepped aside because he did not want to be the kind of distraction that he is even at this point.
That's like, he is leaving the company to pursue other interests.
Spare time with his family.
Yes, time with the family.
He needs to go fishing.
I just witnessed the third debate.
I went to all three debates.
I thought Hillary did a fantastic job.
I thought she was not only on the mark in terms of the substance and talking about real solutions for the middle class, but Donald Trump had an opportunity tonight.
She, what, what solution does she, I'm going to save the middle class by getting more jobs.
She didn't have any real solutions.
She's never had a solution for anything.
No, she says, I have a plan.
I just get so annoyed by this bull crap.
And she always says, I have a plan.
And if you look at her website, we will set up a plan.
We're going to do, we're going to change this.
They always say, we're going to fix this, but never how.
I thought she was not only on the mark in terms of the substance and talking about real solutions for the middle class, but Donald Trump had an opportunity to tell the American people that he would not allow any foreign government to undermine our democratic process.
Russia!
And rather than take that position, Donald Trump basically said...
In a democracy where the voters should decide, he alone will make the decision whether or not he will accept the results.
It's the citizens.
Now she really starts to go off the rails when she starts calling Megyn Kelly, Kelly.
I feel very strongly about it.
You feel strongly about an imposter walking into our office trying to get staff people to do X and Y and then come up with this video.
I feel very strongly about the right of every citizen in the book, Kelly.
And I want to make sure every American has the right to vote.
And you can see Megyn Kelly.
Every single time she does it, you can see her thinking, should I tell her my name is Megyn Kelly?
Should I interrupt?
She does it in a finely finessed way, but it was just embarrassing for Brazil.
Well, on Election Day.
Let's be clear.
I've said nothing about my feelings.
This is about a controversy that has erupted to the point where I wasn't the one who fired these two staffers.
The Democrats fired these two staffers.
So, obviously, they believe some wrongdoing took place.
They stepped aside.
Let me just finish whether the tape was obtained improperly or not.
But no one so far has come out to challenge the legitimacy of these particular tapes put out by James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.
In fact, they've acted on them.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
So you say that the tapes are falsified?
Mr.
O'Keefe enjoys falsifying records.
He did it with NPR. Yeah, but what about in this case?
But, Kelly, can I ask you?
We're at a presidential debate.
And Donald Trump made several ridiculous claims tonight.
And I hit Donald Trump's representatives with those, but now I have you.
She's doing the same thing.
Hey, now we're talking to you, not to the other people.
Honey, I play basketball.
And I'm just telling you, he tried to score on misinformation.
He's trying to score on misinformation that was obtained illegally.
You say that, darling.
You say that you play straight up.
But I have to ask you, because you were accused of receiving a debate question before a CNN town hall where they partnered with TV One.
This is a good one.
This is great.
And that you had this question on March 12th that verbatim was provided by Roland Martin to CNN the next day.
How did you get that question, Donna?
Well, Kelly, since I play straight up, and I'll play straight up with you.
Kelly, first of all, I'm going to play straight up with you, Kelly.
This is fantastic.
I'm not going to lie to you now.
I'm going to be straight up with you.
I did not receive any questions from CNN. Now, this is very important to Donna Brazile, because she's interim chair of the DNC, but her salary is from CNN, so she's very worried that Kelly...
Is going to jeopardize her gig with CNN, so she has to keep saying, I didn't get it from CNN, didn't get it from CNN, didn't get it from CNN. Where'd you get it?
Actually, stop.
The way she's doing this, I think she maybe didn't get it from CNN. No, she didn't.
She got it from someone.
Yeah, she got it from TV1. But saying that I didn't get it from CNN and emphasizes it, she's trying to say I never got a question.
But she's saying I didn't get it from CNN. Right, if you parse it, it's just a version of lying.
Well, Kelly also makes that clear.
Kelly did not receive any questions from CNN. Let's just be very clear.
Where did you get it?
First of all, what information are you providing to me that will allow me to see what you're talking about?
You got the WikiLeaks released a March 12th Podesta email showing you messaging the Clinton campaign with the exact Wording of a question asked at the March 13th CNN TV1 Town Hall Debate.
Kelly?
Where did you get it?
You know, as a Christian woman, I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted because your information is totally false.
I'm getting it from Podesta's email.
Well, Podesta's emails were stolen.
You're so interested in talking about stolen material.
You're like a thief that wanted to bring into the night the things that you found that was in the gutter.
She's like a thief that comes into the night bringing the things that are stolen.
Oh boy, Kelly, you're bad, Kelly.
Actually, back it up a little bit because she said I'm bringing in something from the gutter.
Here we go.
Podesta's emails.
Well, Podesta's emails were stolen.
You're so interested in talking about stolen.
So you deny it.
You're like a thief that wanted to bring into the night the things that you found that was in the gutter.
In the gutter?
Is that what she says?
The gutter?
It sounds like...
Kelly?
I'm not...
Let me just say what I said from day one.
CNN's Jake Tapper came out and said this was unethical.
Somebody was unethically helping the Clinton campaign.
He said, I love Donna Brazile, but this is very, very upsetting.
My understanding is that the email to Donna Brazile...
I love CNN. I love Jake Tapper, Kelly.
I don't want to get fired.
This is Jake Tapper.
My understanding is that the email to Donna Brazile came from either Roland Martin or someone around Roland Martin.
He said, this is very upsetting and very troubling.
That's your own colleague at CNN. It's not Megyn Kelly.
No, isn't that nice how she did that?
It's not Megyn Kelly.
Who gave you that question?
Megan...
And she almost does it again.
Yeah, she switched back to Megan.
That's funny.
That's a good one.
Kelly, who gave you that question?
Megan, once again, I've said it, and I've said it on the record, and I'll say it on the record, and I'll keep saying it on the record.
I am not going to try to validate falsified information.
Woo!
I have my documents.
I have my files.
Thank God I have not had my personal email ripped off from me and stolen and given.
I would be very careful.
I'd be very careful.
You don't know what's coming, Donna Brazile.
Especially since this so-called Russian hack, we have the forensics.
15-year-olds could have done this.
It was a good old fishing expedition.
And these morons all click on it.
Oh, I guess I'll have to put in my email address and my password for Google.
Okay, I'll do that.
Am I re-registered?
Oh, I'm good.
Morons!
That's the easiest part about it.
And I don't know why bother blaming the Russians.
These are dumb.
Like, low-level things that most people can just do.
What's interesting, in this forensics report, this group that does that, that apparently did this according to the company that did the forensics, apparently, they only do this in Russia.
They don't hack outside of Russia.
So, if this is their first foray into doing this, you gotta think there are guys!
There are guys who are hacking in Russia.
They expose Russian corruption.
I don't know.
I felt that was like, hmm, okay, that's kind of interesting.
Stolen and given to some criminals to come back altered.
I have my records.
They come back altered, okay.
I have my files, and as I've said repeatedly, CNN, in the 14 years I was associated with CNN, I've never received anything.
If I had a blank piece of paper, that would basically be the end of this conversation.
I never get documents from CNN. We know.
Again from CNN. She's so worried about it.
And of course, it's the Clinton News Network.
She doesn't want to mess that up.
She does not want to implicate CNN. Cam said, sometimes I receive the questions in advance.
Now she switches to ma'am.
Whoa!
And CNN is saying, Roland Martin gave them to you, or someone at TV1. And they were provided to Hillary before that town hall.
Well, anybody who knows me, and there are a number of your colleagues as well, they know me very well.
I know how I play it.
I know what I do before every debate.
I know what I do before every show.
Just trust me.
I do my homework.
I communicate.
I talk.
I understand.
But I can just once again let you know that, as far as I know, that CNN has never provided me with questions.
Absolutely.
Never.
Categorically, she's never been accused of it.
They're being given questions by CNN. There's always this other guy, News 1 or whatever it is out of New York.
Yeah, TV 1.
Yeah, so why does he just deny?
No, I never got questions from these people.
No.
She can't do that.
She won't do it.
No.
And even better.
Because she got questions.
Yeah.
This is ridiculous.
She could have slid off of this.
She shouldn't have even done the interview.
Oh, no.
It was a huge mistake.
Like, another minute or so and we're done.
From time to time, I get the questions in advance.
What were you referring to?
Because in that email, you offered the exact question that one of the moderators, Roland Martin, then proposed the next day.
So my reference back to you, ma'am, with all respect, and I respect you greatly.
I respect you too.
The validity of those emails, if I can only tell you one thing, because as you know, this whole...
Episode is under criminal investigation.
But I can just tell you one thing.
A lot of those emails, I would not give them the time of the day.
I've seen so many doctor emails.
I've seen things that come from me at 2 in the morning that I don't even send.
There are several email addresses that I want.
There we go.
And you had the rest.
Yeah, Russia.
I think that is so...
That's one of my favorite, favorite interviews I've ever heard of someone lying.
It's just fantastic.
It's pretty outrageous.
And she just digs a hole for herself.
Donna Brazile is just not good at the game.
No.
She's actually incompetent.
That's the most incompetent interview you've ever heard.
Where somebody is being accused of something, can't seem to get out of it.
If you want to be overt, do what Hillary would do.
I categorically deny ever having a question or giving it to anybody.
I don't know what this is about.
If you're going to lie.
Lie!
Yeah, just lie.
It seems to work for other people.
Yeah, it works because then the public doesn't see, oh, okay.
Oh, those horrible people.
Yeah.
I categorically deny this.
The Russians are responsible.
These emails have been doctored.
Yes.
And then you're done.
But no, no, she's like, well, it wasn't these guys.
I guess she's an honest person.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for categorically deny Dvorak.
I will be the greatest president that God ever created.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Kerr.
On the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the dames and nights out there.
In the morning to the chat room, noagendastream.com.
Record numbers here today once again.
Good to see you guys here, noagendastream.com.
And thank you very much to, wow, I believe it was Martin J.J. again who brought us the artwork for episode 869, Swamp of Crazy.
He's streaky.
He's streaky, yes.
And it was the presidential truthiness verified seal of approval in sealing wax.
It was nice.
Beautiful piece.
Beautiful piece.
Noagendaartgenerator.com We appreciate all the work that our artists do always helping us out.
And I did talk to the Apple guys again last night.
I said, hey, it was your spec, this album art per episode, could you please put it into the app?
And they're all like, yeah.
Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
They have a spec so you can have for a podcast?
Yeah.
Here's how it works.
Different album art from different episodes?
Here's how it works.
RSS 2.0, which is open, open spec, they took that and then they created their extensions, which is a namespace.
So they have all the iTunes extensions.
These are specific for iTunes slash the podcast app.
And also they took out patents on all of this stuff as well, which is okay because they're improving on an existing format.
And one of their specific...
The extensions within the namespace is album artwork per episode.
It's in there.
It's theirs.
This is ten years this has been in their spec.
Or nine years.
But they don't adhere to it.
And Apple is, in a way, very dysfunctional.
Because these are the guys that are dealing with this question.
I've been talking to them for years about this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But they don't.
It doesn't happen.
There's no priority within Apple to do this for some reason.
I don't know why.
But it doesn't matter.
Other, like, Overcast and these other apps do it perfectly well.
I'm stunned.
I know.
I know.
I'm stunned.
It's what it is.
They make a spec.
They patent it.
Yeah.
We obey.
We obey.
Like slaves.
We obey.
And then we put this album art in.
They just ignore it.
They ignore it.
But hey, at least when you look at a podcast, it takes the album art for the whole podcast and then changes the background color.
That's a start.
Exactly.
Guffall.
Alright.
We do have a few people to thank me.
Two executive producers, two associate executive producers for show 870.
Yeah.
We're only 10 shows away.
Actually, we're two shows away from the 9th anniversary.
Yes.
Let's make it.
Let's think about that.
9999.
John Fuoco in Orlando, Florida.
F34567 writes us.
After donating 34567.
ITM Gents writes Relatively new listener sense about show 842.
That is relatively new.
And wanted to donate to the best podcast in the universe.
Only request is a de-douching.
Thank you for your work.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Thank you very much, John.
And then we go to Robert Stewart.
Stewart Fawcett.
Fawcett, actually, in Liverpool.
Great Britain.
Merseyside.
Merseyside.
Yeah.
So, ferry, cross the mercy.
You know, you can take singing lessons.
They're available.
And you can take harmonica lessons.
I'm going to take harmonica lessons.
I'll take singing lessons.
You got it.
Done.
Deal.
Deal.
All right.
On the email here, he writes, Thank you for your courage.
You've continued to inform and entertain me, and your coverage of the media bias in the presidential election has been first rate.
The award was well-deserved.
We won the podcast award for Best News Podcast.
Yes, we did.
Long May the show continued.
If my bookkeeping is correct...
Uh-oh.
I believe this donation takes me to knighthood.
Oh, okay.
And he's got his numbers down there.
It's taken three years.
Last donation was May, the May show, and he's got some note there.
I would like to claim Sir Z. We have all these different anonymouses.
He wants to be Xenonymous.
Xenonymous.
Because someone has to, he says.
Yes, I agree.
I don't think we have a Xenonymous.
I don't think so.
I think we're good.
Okay, so he'll be knighted today.
Nice.
As Xenonymous.
Can I please get a...
Uh-oh.
Get your pen out?
Yeah.
Sorry about this.
Yes.
You hate this.
Can I get some multiple birthday shout-outs for myself on the 21st?
Hold on a second.
Stuart...
Fossette.
Yeah.
The 21st.
Himself?
Yeah.
And my mother, Maureen, who celebrates her 70th birthday on the 22nd.
Oh, nice.
Okay, perfect.
He also wants to shout out his mother and father, Brian.
Congratulations for their golden wedding anniversary.
Also on the 22nd.
Oh, nice.
It's customary to request his jingles.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I don't know if you do a shout out.
I think that suffices.
If it's customary to do jingles, can I please get the alternative juice clip?
An LGY and a whoopee get out of my vagina.
Classy, he says.
I don't know what the alternative...
I don't know what that means.
Well, you have look at that juice.
Yeah.
And there's a second, there's two look at the juices is all I know.
Yeah, and then the whoopee vagina, and then what's the third one?
Little girl yay is in there after the juice.
Okay.
Juice, little girl, whoopee.
And a karma, I guess.
Yeah, of course.
Look at that juice.
The juice that comes out.
My hand is dripping wet here because I have nothing but juice.
That's not the one he wanted, is it?
No, I think that's the alternative.
Well, holy moly.
Well, then I'll play the other one just in case.
Oh my gosh!
Can you see that juice?
Get out of my vagina!
Yay!
You've got karma.
There we go.
The things we do.
Okay, now we have Michael Martin in Seattle.
$200.
I don't see a note, so I'm going to go look in the email.
Martin, I'm sure he's got one in here.
Michael Martin, I guess.
Yeah, whoops.
Yeah, so we have Martin Higgins.
Whoops, whoops, whoops!
What happened?
I clicked on something to move my window up and then what I did was I clicked on a tab because I don't see a spacer that can lift this.
There it is.
I just have to screw up on my part.
Michael Martin.
Bob Martin?
No?
Michael Martin?
I got nothing.
I got nothing.
Okay, we got nothing.
Well, sorry, if you have something, we'll take your note.
We sent us something.
And finally, last but not least, Keith Jacobs in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, 200.
Congrats on nine years.
I've been along for about half the ride since 2011.
Looks like I crossed the knighthood threshold.
You got that on there?
Earlier this year and didn't realize it.
Yes, we do.
Our new human resource has things a bit hectic around here.
I will email a note with my accounting.
Please send some job karma for my wife and I. Thanks for doing what you do at the BPITU. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yay!
You've got karma.
Yo, yo, yo.
And that is the Associate Executive Producer Show 870.
Yes.
Reminds you to do another show coming up shortly.
Dvorak.org slash NA is the place to go.
Yeah, and of course these credits, as always, are completely acceptable credits because you helped executive produce or you helped associate executive produce an actual program.
I think it would make sense to say executive producer of The award-winning, the best news podcast.
Just how about that?
Executive producer of the award-winning best newscast 2016.
No agenda show.
Yeah.
And you may not get laid, but you might get a job.
You never know.
Remember us for Sunday's show.
And of course, you can do all kinds of things.
One thing to do is propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Hey, citizens.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
I just took another Advil.
Advil?
Yeah, for the pain.
Does that help?
Yeah, it does.
Yeah, it does.
Alrighty then.
I want you in pain.
A couple of beautiful things from our Ministry of Truth that came out.
Just a couple of quickies here that are just too hilarious to pass up.
This is Chris Cuomo on CNN regarding WikiLeaks.
Also interesting to remember, it's illegal to possess these stolen documents.
It's different for the media.
So everything you learn about this, you're learning from us.
And in full disclosure, let's take a look at what is in there and what it means.
I love this.
Whatever you do, don't you dare go look at it.
That's illegal.
That's fantastic.
How does he come up with that?
Why does he say that?
I think he was written for him and he probably believes it.
Hmm.
Well, Cuomo is on a tear this week.
And, you know, when people say, oh, they cut him off, they cut him off.
You know, when a host cuts someone off, yeah, because you know the control room is yelling.
But when you all of a sudden you get a satellite disturbance and not only is the the timing of this satellite drop feed interesting, but Chris Cuomo's his response to it is really what seals the deal for me.
This is a Republican congressman.
And when the minute he starts to talk about Hillary Clinton and WikiLeaks, apparently the satellite feed drops or gets yanked.
What do you think Donald Trump needs to do to come out on top?
Well, on the character issue, the public, you know, two-thirds or more of the public know that Hillary Clinton's a liar.
She can't be trusted.
And now the two faces of Hillary Clinton are coming out.
The fact, through WikiLeaks, that she says one thing...
Oh, no.
All right, let's see if we can get Congressman Collins back.
Wait, wait, wait.
Don't step on it.
You've got to listen to it.
It's the ending that really makes it.
One thing...
Oh, no.
All right, let's see if we can get Congressman Collins back.
Obviously, we just lost to the satellite feed.
That sucks.
That sucks.
I love that.
You can use this for anything.
Let's just try it, John.
Here's what I want you to do.
You just start talking, and at a certain point, you're going to just say something about Hillary Clinton.
Go.
Well, you know, we've been doing a lot of research for the show recently, and I think where you're going to find the good material is you go to WikiLeaks Oh no.
Obviously we just lost to the satellite feed.
That sucks.
It works for everything.
Fantastic.
I love that.
That's great.
No shame.
Just no shame.
And it's as if somebody talked to the guy and said, we can't talk about WikiLeaks on the show because when he came back he wouldn't even say the word WikiLeaks.
Exactly.
So that made it kind of even more fishy.
Hey, um...
Did you see the clip where they...
I don't know.
I think I have it, but you can't quite hear it.
Where I guess it was some meeting in Wisconsin where the entire audience was yelling...
What's the name?
Oh, they were saying Paul Ryan sucks.
Yeah, Paul Ryan sucks.
It is a chant.
It's very funny, I thought.
Do you have that clip?
I think I might.
If we look at the list, which unfortunately I erased when I... Or I didn't erase, but I... Moved off the screen.
I'm trying to find it.
But it should be a Paul Ryan thing.
There's a Paul Ryan clip.
I don't see it.
I don't see it in here.
I do have a different clip, though, of a chant.
10,000 black citizens in the United States in a protest that sounded like this.
Because these people are going to march across the country and they're going to keep educating and keep educating and keep educating.
That won't happen.
That's the real deal.
She's killing black people.
Don't vote for Hillary.
She's killing black people.
I like this.
Don't vote for Hillary.
She's killing black people.
And it just goes on and on and on and on.
10,000.
I can't find the...
No, you don't have it.
That's more than the...
It's huge.
It's huge.
I know.
It's fantastic.
So...
Let me see.
Well, where do we go from here?
There's just so much to do here.
Well, we can jump over to Aleppo, which is getting...
Yeah, let's do that.
Yes.
Well, then we have a Gaian...
Oh, yes.
Is that...
This clip is...
Gaian...
Chichikhan.
Guyana.
Chichikhan.
That's right, everybody.
She is Armenian, but she is a nice bundle of trouble when she shows up on Russia Today RT. It is the one and only Guyana Chichikhan.
And John, what do we have from Guyana today?
Well, we have a prelude to her.
First of all, she says prelude clip of Aleppo, and then we have Guyana State Department, and she goes after him.
Russia and Syria have announced they will create a humanitarian window for Aleppo on Thursday.
Starting from 8 o'clock in the morning, local time, both Russia and Syria will halt all military activity in the area.
Medical staff will have access to help the sick and injured, and both civilians and militants will be able to leave eastern Aleppo via two exit routes.
And Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Cherkin, described potential options available for the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra militants as well.
We cannot declare Nusra people honorary citizens of Eastern Aleppo or honorary citizens of Aleppo.
Something needs to be done about them.
One way to deal with them is for the moderate fighters to tell them to go, because they outnumber Nusra quite considerably.
Another way for them is to leave the city with the arrangements which were proposed by Stefano Mistura.
Or a way must be found to defeat them.
They cannot simply be allowed to stay there, making the lives of civilians miserable, as they have been doing for such a long time.
And while extremists continue to terrorize eastern Aleppo, government-held areas of the city are also continuously shelled from there, killing and wounding civilians and children.
Morant Gazdiev shares some of his most tragic stories.
I had to cut it there because these stories were so pathetic.
I mean, they were just horrible.
Yeah.
But let's go to Guyane, who finishes up the report.
In the meantime, our Washington correspondent Guyane Chichakan has been getting reactions from the U.S. State Department to Russia's latest humanitarian initiative inside Aleppo.
The U.S. State Department did not sound optimistic about the humanitarian pause announced by Russia for eastern Aleppo.
I guess we'll see.
You know, there is actually an eight-hour pause and the unremitting suffering of the people of Aleppo, that would be a good thing.
But frankly, it's a bit too little too late.
One of the things that's in Russia's latest announcement is a call on the rebels and al-Nusra fighters to remove mines and other hazards at humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to leave.
The statement says shelter and medical help are guaranteed for all civilians fleeing eastern Aleppo.
Last week when I asked the State Department's John Kirby about the people trying to leave eastern Aleppo, he said they shouldn't have to leave.
They shouldn't have to leave.
And they shouldn't be being bombed by their own government and by the Russian military.
Today, as the U.S. is helping Iraqi forces retake Mosul, the U.N. and the Red Cross say they are preparing for hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the battle for Mosul.
With this, I asked the State Department whether they thought civilians in Mosul shouldn't have to leave.
This is a major military offensive.
It's going to take a lot of time.
I think we recognize that citizens and civilians are going to be displaced.
We've seen this before elsewhere in Iraq, and we're trying to learn from those past efforts.
And by we, I mean collectively, not just the United States, and how to mitigate some of those effects.
This displacement that's somewhat inevitable in an operation of this scale.
So, when it comes to Russian and Syrian military operations in eastern level, the State Department says civilians shouldn't have to leave.
When it comes to operations backed by the U.S. in Iraq's Mosul, the State Department says the displacement of civilians is, quote-unquote, somewhat inevitable.
The Red Cross said the operation in Mosul will create up to a million more displaced civilians.
There you go.
That's the update.
That's great.
That's just great.
Someone sent me a...
Actually, it was a real press conference.
Putin sat down with the international press corps in Russia And he said, look, I'm not going to treat you guys like children.
I'm going to tell you straight up what's going on, all this tension and what's going on between us and the U.S. I'm going to read verbatim what the translation was on the video.
At the same time, you know, as a rule, we try not to talk about this, but they always whisper this to us in the course of every election campaign.
This is happening not only now, but was also the case in previous election campaigns.
They keep whispering into our left ear and then into our right ear.
Pay no attention to all of this.
All of this will pass and we will be friends again.
This is wrong.
It is wrong to use Russia as a bargaining chip in internal political struggles and damage interstate relations.
That is just not serious enough to say the least.
That is my first point.
That's a weird translation, but he's claiming...
That's very strange.
Well, it's Russian to English.
What he's claiming is that privately, they're saying, you know, we're just going to make you look like a bad guy just now.
And it reminds me of the open mic we had with Medvedev and Obama.
Oh, yeah.
I saw that clip.
Yeah, I probably do.
He said something like, when I'm elected...
Yeah, this will be...
I'll change once I get in.
Exactly, exactly.
Once again, don't worry.
I'll have more power or more flexibility or something like that.
Yeah, but you're going to take a beating in the meantime.
Well, of course.
That's how we do it.
I don't think I have that one, John.
It's a long time ago.
I don't know where that is.
Okay, well, that's what it was.
So that's kind of damning.
And Putin speaks some English, man.
I know you can do it.
You're ruining everything.
It's dumb.
He just can't.
He's not going to do it.
He's so dumb.
He's just not going to do it.
You know, I made kind of a discovery.
As in this last batch, I know I'm jumping around a bit, but it just popped out.
In this last batch of WikiLeaks emails, Chelsea Clinton, who is...
Now, we've heard reports that, you know, she's a backstabber, she's horrible, she's a troublemaker.
Now, first of all, she uses an alias.
And her alias is Anna Jones, and her email address is aj66 at NYU.org.
And you can see this clearly in the WikiLeaks releases.
There's something interesting about that.
I think it's a code or some kind of authentication thing that Clintons do.
If you look at all of their email addresses, it's always HRC22, H67. They all have a number on these email addresses.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah.
And now, why is she AJ66? I have a reason.
Okay.
Because these guys are so technologically backward that she types in AJ at NYU. No, no, no.
There's already an AJ. We suggest AJ 103, AJ 66.
If you've ever opened up an email account on one of these public systems...
You never can get your name.
I sometimes can.
J.C. Dvorak or John Dvorak.
I can put Dvorak.
But often, if you're late to the game, it's like, no, John Dvorak's taken.
You have to use John Dvorak 23.
I think that's what it is.
It's simple.
Simple answer.
Occam's Razor.
Well...
She wrote a very damning email, which has some really crazy stuff in here.
Let me see.
There's a couple of them.
It's really...
It's like, wow.
You have just...
I think she's actually a good person, strangely enough.
So she's figured out that something bad is going on.
Hello, John, Cheryl, Victoria, and Jennifer.
Although I continue to respond to people sharing of their concerns about the foundation and or my father's world by telling them that, one, I hope they will share their experiences, concerns, hopes, fears with Victoria and her team candidly, and two, that is critical that as we move to professionalize the foundation for the future...
And now this is in 2011.
So they feel that they were not professional in 2011.
It starts with this process.
People continue to share things with me.
Although I continue to not engage beyond what I outlined above, I do think, and my mother strongly agreed as a lawyer, that I should pass it along to you, Victoria, and your team, you, John, and Cheryl.
This is John Podesta.
Here it is.
In that vein, I was told to express the following.
Today, Doug, and I think it's Doug Band, who is the boss over there, Taneo, which is this lobbying PR group that Bill Clinton started, Doug reached out to someone at Harry Walker, who represents my father in all speaking arrangements, to ask for a full list of all his speeches, how much he was paid for each speech, and told the contact person at Harry Walker that all speeches should go through him now, not through Terry, the scheduler.
So she finds that odd.
That Ilya, I don't know who that is, physically saw and caught Justin, who I think is their IT guy, a couple of days ago reading Dad's BlackBerry and loading the same spyware onto his computer that he loaded onto Barry's computer.
They're spying on each other at the Clinton Foundation.
Spying!
That's interesting.
This is a great...
Oh, there's no clip, so I can't give you a clip.
No, no, but there's more.
A Secret Service...
Oh, man, hold on.
I'm sorry.
A Secret Service agent told Mark, my husband, that Justin had asked another Secret Service agent to lie about the parking pass absurdity.
I have no idea what that's about, but apparently that was important to her.
Multiple people shared with me how upset they were at hearing how Justin referred to my father in the last week in very derogatory ways, widely sadly.
I don't know why she says that.
Oscar told my father he knows Justin reads his emails.
My father was told today of explicit examples at Clinton Global Initiative of Doug Bantaneo pushing for and receiving free memberships and of multiple examples of Taneo hustling business at the Clinton Global Initiative and of people now having quit at CGI.
Doug told John Davidson he was never going to forgive him for not reporting that dad met with you, John, on Sunday and that how could John forget who he really worked for?
Now, I don't know what that means, but there's strife.
Doug told Terry Krinovich she would never work again in this town if she didn't back him up on everything that's threatening.
And Elia believes Hannah and Justin have taken significant sums of money from my parents personally, some in expenses, cars, etc., and other amounts directly.
This is pretty damning.
I think that Chelsea, now this is 2012, I think she actually is like, holy shit, this thing is a mess.
She wants to clean it up.
Everyone hates her for it because she's wrecking their perfect game.
And they left her, you know, they forgot to read her in or indoctrinate her or whatever.
But, you know, they're loading spyware on computers and they're reading the former president's emails.
And this is bad.
That's great!
Well, of course, of course.
Here we go.
This is another great one.
I was in London Sunday and did a foundation event Sunday evening, and two people separately voiced concerns directly to me about Taneo, neither of whom I know well, one of whom is a friend of Mark's old colleagues, i.e.
we know only tangentially, and Sarah Latham, who Victoria and Jennifer I do know well.
She works for my dad in the White House and lives in London.
They voiced serious concerns to Barry, including telling her that Ilya has called members of the House and members of Parliament, quote, on behalf of President Clinton, for to nail clients.
Without my father's knowledge, and inelegantly and ineffectually, at best, and at worst, has now precipitating people in London, making comparisons between my father and Tony Blair's profit motivations, which would horrify my dad.
Sarah also told Barry she started working for Taneo more than a year ago, and then recently stopped because she was so upset, partly because of what Doug and Declan asked her to do and pretend was happening for their clients at Davo.
So, they have clients, and they're saying, well, don't worry, we're working on your behalf, and I guess they want to report to their clients with lies and stuff they're not actually doing.
So, go Chelsea!
I hold her in a whole new light now.
Well, that's very interesting.
Where do these turn up?
WikiLeaks?
Yeah, in the Wiki.
Does anyone read this?
Does anyone do any reporting?
You can dig into WikiLeaks because they release so much stuff to the point where it's almost as if they cut off what's-his-name's access so we can catch up.
Julian Assange.
Slow down, man.
Slow down.
We need to read some stuff.
They're releasing too fast.
Slow down.
But here's how it happened, because I saw an email, it said, you know, regards Chelsea, and I'm looking at the email address, like, what is this, AJ66? And it even says the name on the email is Anna Jones, so I'm just searching WikiLeaks for that email address, boom, all this pops up.
Right there, for the taken.
I haven't heard anyone talk about it.
Of course not.
Nobody talks about anything.
Because, golly, it took you, what, 10 minutes to get these emails out of there?
All that work?
To be fair, it was about 15.
Oh, 15 whole minutes out of the day?
Oh, I can't imagine a journalist having to suffer.
Suffer like that.
Your sacrifices are outrageous.
Exactly.
Thank you for recognizing my courage.
Yeah.
That's the deal.
In fact, CNN doesn't even want you to look at any of it because they're trying to bustle it.
There's nothing in there.
There's nothing in there.
It's illegal, man.
It's illegal, man.
Don't go.
Nothing in there.
Oh, man.
Love it.
Love it.
Okay, let's play something that's a little off.
Well, here's a short, short, short.
This is like, I outline the ABC, I'll do CBS and NBCTube, the model for their news broadcasts, and they have this one segment where they wrap through a bunch of news stories, and they get out of there within one minute.
That's the C block, I believe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just in between two blocks.
Yeah, it's in between two blocks of ads.
That's for the affiliate knows it's coming.
Yeah, so here is in this little sub-one-minute segment.
Here's a very interesting little story that I think they could have done something with.
Somebody could have done something.
But no, no, no, no.
We got it.
We said it.
We talked about it.
This is the El Chapo drug cases, it says, but...
El Chapo.
To the index, the stunning headline tonight about the former judge in the El Chapo case.
Video showing him in the moments before he was assassinated while jogging near his home in Mexico.
A man coming up from behind, shooting him in the head.
The judge presided over several high-profile drug cases.
Wow, wait a minute.
15 seconds.
The hell is that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, 15 seconds.
We're out of here.
Hey, have you noticed the rise of this new guy that's actually getting some airplay?
No.
Who?
Evan McMullen?
No.
Oh, you gotta pay attention to this guy.
He's a bald-headed guy, almost bald head.
He's being run by the Mormon.
He's a Mormon.
This is the Romney camp.
He's actually funded by...
What happened here?
Oh, wow, that's interesting.
No, it's not interesting for you, but for some reason, it's not interesting to you at all.
Okay, he is former CIA, recruited in college.
This is the CIA candidate.
You've got to pay attention to this guy.
I will.
He's a Mormon.
He's funded by the Mormons.
He also worked at Goldman Sachs.
I mean, it doesn't get any better.
And you know what?
He's pretty eloquent.
And he thinks he can get on the ballot in, I think he said, 43 states for sure.
Oh, this is the guy running for president in Utah?
Yes, that's the guy.
Oh yeah, I know about this guy.
He's a spook running for governor in Utah to screw up the Utah vote so Trump can't win.
It's fantastic, this guy.
Yeah, CIA. And it's so clear.
Yeah, I'm CIA. Sure, I'm CIA. They don't want Trump, and we don't know why.
We've never figured it out, but the CIA want Hillary to be the boss.
Yeah, well, they are going all out with this guy.
I thought that was pretty amazing.
You have a clip of him yakking?
I'm putting something together.
Nothing of it's really...
He's boring.
But he's boring in a way that I can see your classic elite Republicans loving him.
Loving him.
And why not?
There is a thought that it's possible to deadlock the election in such a way that Hillary won't quite get her 273 or whatever that number is that she needs.
And Trump won't get it because Arizona is going to go to Gary Johnson or New Mexico is going to go to Gary Johnson.
Arizona may go to a third party.
And Utah, if they can pull those guys out of the election and then kind of deadlock everything else, then it would go to Congress.
And then Paul Ryan and whoever it is can put in the president.
I mean, there is a proviso for the Congress to pick the president.
So that's a long shot.
That's a long shot.
It's never going to happen.
But then in that case, they'd choose Trump, wouldn't they?
No.
You don't have to choose from them.
You can choose from anyone.
But Paul Ryan would steer it towards Hillary?
No, no.
You don't have to choose one of those two.
You could put Paul Ryan in as president.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
They just get to say this guy.
Yeah.
How does...
That's cool.
Can I be on the list?
Can I be on the list of this guy?
I'd like to be on that list.
Yeah, you can be on the list.
Yeah, I'm considered.
Well, you can be on any list you want, but you're not going to get in.
All right, I got a clip.
This is the clip that really bugs me the most.
And I didn't know about this until it was brought up.
Kimmel brought it up, and I didn't know about this because if I'd known about this, I'd have been keeping eyes on this.
This is the way...
This is your betting matrix.
This is what you use to make bets.
This is the Scholastic Magazine presidential poll.
Some early results are in Scholastic News Magazine.
Remember the Weekly Reader?
Yeah, I remember the Weekly Reader.
I used to love the Weekly Reader.
Of course you did.
Did you have the weekly reader when you were a kid?
Oh yeah, we had all the Scholastic stuff.
Yeah, I love that.
It was good.
Some early results are in Scholastic News Magazine.
You know, remember the weekly reader?
You get that in school when you're a kid?
It's still around, and every four years they sponsor a mock election where kids from all over the country get to cast a vote for president.
The results from the poll have been correct in every election since 1964.
The kids predict Who will win?
And this year, Hillary Clinton won in a landslide.
She beat Trump 52 to 35 percent.
The other 13 percent voted for Spongebob, I think.
Gotta get the punchline in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's good.
Yeah, well...
Kimmel did a man on the street.
That it's long.
I have a long version of it.
We don't have to play it now or play it at the end.
Oh, no, I like Man on the Street.
This is a little different.
And I want to point out a couple of things.
One, that almost everybody in this clip was white.
There was a couple, maybe two black people in here, but it was almost all whites.
The first girl that talks is white.
And this premise is ludicrous, and it's really very disheartening to hear some of these things.
You know they edit them, but in this case, I don't think you had to do much editing.
True business.
Kanye West dropped the new pair of Yeezys over the weekend.
Drop means...
Yeah, I saw this.
Genius segment.
You have to kind of see the shoes, though, to understand how ridiculous it is.
You know what it means.
The Yeezy Boost 750 Chocolate, which sounds like a protein shake, but it's not.
It's a very expensive pair of shoes.
They cost $350, and that's retail.
I saw a pair on eBay today for $1,200, which is a lot, but that's for two sneakers, so it's really only $600.
Anyway, we decided to do something sneaky with the new Yeezy.
We went to a store in Chinatown here in LA. We bought a pair of shoes.
There was a special two pairs for $25.
So $12.50 a pair.
When we added a compass to the shoe, we glued on some fake fur.
So now we're looking at about $14 a pair.
And then we took that cheap pair of sneakers out on the Hollywood Boulevard and told people they were the new Yeezys.
And these are very real opinions of very fake Yeezy shoes.
You are a Kanye West fan?
Yes.
And are you a fan of Yeezys, the Yeezy brand?
Yes.
Okay, cool.
Here's the shoe.
What do you love about this shoe?
I love it.
It's cool.
It's different.
Attractive.
I like the furry hair on it.
Are you a Yeezy fan?
Yes, I am.
You know, although I really like this bit, I don't think it works if you can't see it.
Eyes of voices.
I didn't think seeing it was that important.
The shoe, we can describe it.
It's a cheap tennis shoe that they glued some fur on the top of it.
So it's all furry.
And it's got a big compass, right, where the shoelaces are.
And it's the stupidest looking thing.
But the compass is what I think was really interesting.
You can see I'm wearing one of those.
You're wearing these?
Oh yeah, look at those!
That's nice, actually.
It is kind of like, you know, different.
And that's, yeah, I would say it's really nice.
Is this a compass?
It's a compass.
That's crazy.
What's Kanye's daughter's name?
That's amazing.
Northwest.
Yeah, that's so cool.
Isn't that cool?
I like that a lot.
I need me a pair of these.
It's like you got the compass right here.
So you just, you hear me.
You let them know where you walking at.
I don't see you coming at all.
You got the compass.
You got the fur.
You...
I feel like I would be able to jump higher in these.
The suede was specifically designed to feel like Kim's backside.
That's what her butt feels like?
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
If you push the compass in, look at how the shoe kind of adjusts size to become a little bit smaller.
I feel it.
So it adjusts?
It's called Yeezy Squeezy technology.
That's cool.
That's fast.
Stop.
Didn't you stop on a dime?
Yeah, you can't stop on a dime.
Edible laces.
Take a bite out of it.
That guy was actually eating the laces.
Yeah.
What does it taste like?
It tastes really good.
I never knew you could eat shoes, laces, but I finally did it.
For each pair of these shoes sold, Kanye will plant a tree in Israel.
Oh, I love Israel.
Shout out to Israel.
That's great.
That's crazy.
Guess how much they actually cost.
Retail...
Probably like $400 to $500.
I would just think $1,000.
$700, $800.
I know it might be more.
So they definitely don't look like they're two for $25.
No, definitely not.
Definitely not.
100% not.
I love you, Kanye.
I love your shoes.
Keep planting trees in Israel.
We're all gonna die!
I know why everyone was white.
I know why.
Hello?
Why?
Yeah, I'm waiting.
Okay, so first of all, man on the street, we know how it works.
You only pull out the pieces that are funny and work for your bit.
Any black person who had those shoes in his hand would go, get out of here, this is crap.
No, there were two black guys that were buying it, including the guy who ran and said they stop on a dime.
Nah, he was brown.
Well, the whole thing is an indictment.
Yeah.
And yeah, you can make anybody look like an idiot and you can do this sort of man on the street bit, but this one was, to me, beyond the pale.
It was, these people were so stupid.
Yes.
And yeah, if you're in Los Angeles and somebody pulls over, you want to get on TV, so you just, you act enthusiastic, you might become like on The Price is Right where you jump around in a costume.
But, I don't know, I find it very depressing.
I have a quick correction.
Apparently, the House of Representatives is limited to choosing from amongst the three candidates who receive the most electoral votes.
Not just anybody.
Alright, then Trump would get in.
Wow.
Well, that would be a backfire.
It's not going to happen.
I was wrong about that part of it, but it's not going to happen because they...
Hillary's going to, from the sounds of it, she's going to get 52% of the vote, according to the kids, who are never wrong.
And that'll be that.
Well, you know, the bookies are also never wrong.
They were never wrong about Brexit, except they were.
Well, they were wrong about Brexit, but apparently they've thrown in the towel on this election.
And, you know, when you start looking at it, you know, Trump has made lots of mistakes.
I'm still irked by his all.
I can't wait to debate Hillary.
I can't wait.
He made a big deal out of that.
Yeah, big deal, big deal.
And failed to perform.
And everyone's out to get him.
So I agree with that.
Everyone's out to get him.
But also, I would say that unless they really let up, and I don't think so, I think there's going to be tripling down, they're still worried about it.
They have to.
They can't take a chance.
Yeah, they have to.
Yeah, we still have 20 days, and Hillary can still pass out in front of a microphone.
There's all kinds of things that could go wrong for her.
I think it was drinking water again to entice her to cough.
I really think so.
I'm telling you.
He made a mistake.
He should be right in the middle of something he's saying.
Very important.
Blows nose a couple of times.
I'm sorry.
I've got the sniffles.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I've got the sniffles.
Why not?
There was a pretty big article in Wall Street Journal about radio stations in the United States who are now so desperate to make money.
As we know, the largest group of radio stations, iHeart, they are about $4 billion in debt.
They can't service the debt.
They're in real trouble.
You know, we have five commercial breaks an hour on radio, jammed with five to six spots.
I mean, it's insane.
So they have to come up with more ways to make money.
Guess what they're all doing, including WABC, WFAN, WMMS, Cleveland.
I mean, these are big, big stations.
These are cornerstone stations.
They're all doing streaming video with ads.
Can you believe?
Thank you.
Why?
People are always saying, you should do video, that'd be great.
No, it won't be great.
I don't know why people keep asking us to do video.
I don't know either.
I guess it's fun.
We're not a video show.
No, and you don't want to see me ticking and Tourette's-ing and doing all kinds of stuff.
Well, actually, maybe you do.
Well, some people do, but generally speaking, when podcasts are made into videos, they look like a bunch of jerk-offs with big giant microphones in front of them, headphones, and they're just doing an audio podcast with a camera on them.
I don't find that interesting.
I never liked it when Don Imus started doing it.
I didn't think that Howard Stern was that entertaining on the video.
I mean, he would bring some girls on.
Yeah, when you have the guests on, that is fun to watch, of course.
Yeah, when you have the girls that take off their tops, okay, well, that's kind of interesting.
But, no, that's dumb.
I know.
It is so odd.
And it's expensive.
But not only that, they're doing it out of desperation.
Desperation.
And NPR, look, I love Lee Masters, I'm sorry, Jarl Monn, But he's out there touting, oh, we have a huge ratings increase.
We're doing great.
Dude, it's an election.
How can you say, oh, we're great.
It's an election.
No wonder you're up.
Now, I'm telling you, none of this ends well for anything that needs distribution as a gatekeeper, which is why we, a long time ago, almost into our 10th year, decided, screw it.
Value for value is the way to go.
We call it the vow of poverty.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
Well, we do have a few people to thank.
Especially the well-wishers for the 99-99-99 anniversary.
For some reason, Claudia Gerber came in twice, and she should let us know if this is a mistake.
199.98.
She's in Lisbon, Ohio.
She's in 199.98, and she's in again.
Do I have a note from her?
No, she just says, Happy 9th.
It could be a spreadsheet error.
It could be a lot of different things.
Sir Richard Gardner in Chicago, Illinois.

Angela Durham in Marysville, Washington.

He doesn't even mind that I have a little crush on Adam.
Oh.
Crush on Adam.
Partay!
Now we have people who donated the anniversary donation of 99.99.
I just want to say, I'm officially off the market, John.
I just want that to be known.

So the Thursday show is when we want congratulations.
And we have one and one only donor, Jim McCaslin in Buddha, Texas, who caught the Easter egg and acted appropriately.
Ah!
97.
Ah.
What was the Easter egg?
The Easter egg was a picture of seven of nine.
Oh, good one!
I thought it was...
Boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs.
Because you would have thought that was the boobs.
Well, with that picture, yeah.
But no, it was seven of nine, so the nine, nine, nine, seven.
It was a trick.
The woman who helped Barack Obama become senator.
Yes, right.
I remember that.
Since then, she's married one of the top French chefs.
Really?
Yeah, she lives the life.

You can always take a look at that at our donation page.
And thank you.
Thank you very much for keeping the value-for-value model going so we don't have to service a $4 billion debt payment next month.
I'm just saying.
It could happen.
You never know.

It's a popular combo in the South.
It's been on the list for a long time.
Long time.
A little controversy in...
Oh wait, no.
I wanted to talk about something else.
Advocate.
The Advocate.
Magazine.
You're familiar with the...
That's the Gay Magazine.
That's the Gay Magazine.
Yes.
And I would say they are the premier gay magazine.
It's really a newspaper, I believe.
Is it a newspaper?
It could be.
But I mean, this is a...
It's been around for a long time, and it's really...
I think it's more for gay men than any other of the LGBTQ plus community.
And they posted an article...
Headline, Peter Thiel, he's the guy who, first of all, he's a Silicon Valley guy, he's on the board of Facebook, he sued Gawker out of existence, or he helped sue them out of existence.
Not a well-loved guy.
And so they say, headline, Peter Thiel shows us there's a difference between gay sex and gay.
And they make the argument.
That because he is not...
Here.
The idea of being gay as a distinct cultural identity is now under new pressures.
That brings us to Peter Thiel.
And then they go on to talk about how he mentioned that at the convention.
By the logic of gay liberation, Thiel is an example of a man who has sex with other men, but not a gay man.
Because he does not embrace the struggle of people to embrace their distinctive identity.
Wow.
This is mind-blowing to me.
So gay is not who you love, which is what I hear consistently.
It shouldn't matter who you love or who you want to see.
But he's not gay because he's not a part of the community.
Mind-boggling they're doing this.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know how mind-boggling it is, but to me it's like, oh, not a surprise.
In all this identity politics, I think, This sort of thing could have been anticipated.
Okay.
I wonder if he has a new pronoun for this.
That's what I like to know.
We do need a new pronoun.
Gay not gay.
Gay not gay.
No homo.
You can just call me no homo.
No homo.
There you go.
My pronoun is no homo.
Even though I have sex with men.
I'm Peter Thiel and I approve this message.
Colorado schools in an uproar.
Here's why.
Some Cherry Creek School District employees are not happy tonight because they had to take a survey on white privilege.
Would this make you uncomfortable?
Well, it did for the Denver 7 source who anonymously sent the survey our way, which we showed around.
Students did not have to take it, but we had this senior at the Overland Prairie campus take a look.
Twenty-six questions like, because of my race or color, I can comfortably avoid, ignore, or minimize the impact of racism on my life.
A score of five if the question is true, zero if never true.
It was designed to make people aware that their experiences, whatever they are, wherever they come from, are not exactly the same as other people's.
A district spokesperson says the survey is not new.
It's been around since 2003.
To help staff make students of different backgrounds feel welcome and represented.
Good timing because now, years later, 45% of the student population is not white.
This work works.
And we will continue to do it.
It's an interesting way of teaching people someone.
By shaming them, I guess, somehow.
I have no idea.
It's pathetic.
And it's only for faculty.
So we need to make you aware of your white privilege with a quiz.
Maybe it's a great idea.
I don't know.
To me it sounds...
No, it's not a great idea.
You know it.
It's just dumb.
Okay.
You're right.
It's dumb.
It's dumb.
I'm sorry.
It's completely dumb.
I got a couple of clips from the RT. Yeah, their accounts closed.
Their accounts were closed just unceremoniously in Great Britain in the UK. And nobody knows quite why.
Here's the story about RT accounts closed in the UK. The decision of NatWest Bank to close RT UK's accounts without any explanation has caused a storm of reaction from our viewers.
RT has received many letters of support and solidarity after the bank said it would no longer provide its services.
Many of our viewers have also called the bank's decision arbitrary and an attempt to silence the channel.
A top trade union official has also offered his help to RT. Sending solidarity to RT in the face of outrageous actions by the banks backed by the British government.
Anything I can do to help, just let me know.
After RT received notice of the closure of its accounts, we launched a hashtag in social media, hashtag banksit, to garner reaction.
And there was plenty.
Along with messages of support, some also welcomed the news.
One tweet said the decision to close RT's accounts was better late than never.
I don't know how that works.
Or why?
I mean, that's...
Well, here...
Yeah?
They just closed the account.
Any bank can close your account.
Oh, sure.
Of course.
It happened to the show.
But, yeah.
Please don't put that out there.
But, I mean, I've not seen any follow-up.
It just seems like an incredibly rude thing to do.
Yeah, it was the Royal Bank of Scotland, too, which is a corrupt operation, so it's just some sort of corruption.
Now, this was the interesting part.
This story went on and on, but they did this.
They asked a bunch of different people about how if you work for RT, you're never going to get a job.
You're never going to work again.
And I found this interesting.
And then there's a punchline, too, which is not in the clip, but I have it at the ready.
This is the clip RT means unemployable.
Respected editors say working for RT deems you unemployable in future.
I think we could do a bit more with ostracism.
I'm quite happy to say that if anyone puts a CV on my desk and on that CV I see they worked at RT or Sputnik or one of these things, that CV is going to the bin.
While over on British commercial radio, the mere mention of RT can prompt the mother of all rants.
Let me tell you, Brian, about RT. By the way, let me tell you about RT. RT is a successor media channel owned by the Russian state.
What I'm astounded by, what I am shocked by, in fact, what I'm appalled at, is a number of, you know, nominally liberal, democratic, human rights advocating British citizens succumbing to Russian propaganda.
Okay.
Now, the first guy that was on this little thing where the guy says, if somebody shows up in a CV with RT on it, it goes straight to the bin.
That guy.
He was one of the top editors at The Economist.
Oh, nice.
Geez.
Yeah.
I tried to get a clip.
The Economist has turned into a douchebag operation.
Yeah, the lady who's running it, the British woman, she was on MSNBC. I tried to get a clip, but it couldn't really clip.
It was just all offensive and crazy.
And not at all, you know, just very partisan, extremely partisan, which is kind of the Economist.
Yeah, she's ruined the magazine completely.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
Well, no one else thinks so.
Only we think that.
Yeah, we're the only two who have noticed this.
Hmm.
What does that say?
I don't know.
Oh, I did come across one thing that, just because we've talked about it, about the fact that the Polish cannot, they're not a part of the visa waiver program.
We've discussed this a couple of times throughout the years.
Every other EU country, I think every EU country, they're in the visa waiver program, but not in Poland.
Yeah.
And by the way, this is despite, if you remember when George Bush was president, him going on and on about how much support the Polish give us in our war efforts in Iraq and elsewhere.
He made a big deal about it.
And while he was making a big deal, they were bitching about this.
And we wouldn't change it.
And I think one of the theories is because of the high amount of Jewish lawmakers...
Compared to the average population, that there's so much anger about World War II and the Poles that that's why they're doing this, to somehow spike them.
At least that's what the Polish think.
That's the word I get.
Well, could be.
Trump did something interesting.
Trump, in fact, began the day in Chicago.
On the northwest side, he met with Polish-American leaders who say Trump vowed, if elected, to push for Polish citizens to be able to visit the U.S. without a visa, something Polish-Americans have long fought for.
If I am in the White House...
The Polish people will be honored.
Remember that.
They deserve it.
From there, it was on to Bolingbroke to raise cash.
Outside Trump's fundraiser...
Smart move.
Well, yeah.
A little too late.
Too little.
Too late.
We have a local controversy.
Ah.
The fabulous town, by the way, anyone in the Bay Area will kind of laugh about some of the things said in this report.
This is the San Leandro 55-foot woman.
A revealing sculpture is raising some eyebrows in the East Bay.
Sky 7 was above the San Leandro Tech campus, where the sculpture Truth is Beauty will be officially unveiled tonight during the campus' grand opening.
The 55-foot naked woman can be seen by BART passengers at the San Leandro station.
Some think a giant naked woman is just a bit too much.
The city says Truth and Beauty is an emblem of the transformation of San Leandro as a center of technology, innovation, and human potential.
Fantastic.
Everyone who lives in the Bay Area laughed at that last little comment.
Explain.
San Leandro is just a little, you know, it's like a never-ending suburb of Oakland that's been there forever.
There used to always be red lines, so you had two little towns, San Leandro and San Lorenzo, right next to each other.
And San Leandro was always the white town.
And, you know, it's a nice enough place.
And San Lorenzo is the mixed-race town.
Which is also a nice enough place, but this is not the center of technology or the capital of anything.
It's San Leandro.
It butts up against Hayward on one side, and it butts up against Oakland on the other.
And it's, you know, the report is laughable.
The only good thing it's got going is the 55-foot naked woman, which is made out of some sort of gauze or something.
It hardly even looks like that naked, but okay.
Did you see the naked Hillary statue on the corner in New York?
I saw it after somebody knocked it down.
Yeah, there was one lady, she was so mad, whenever someone tried to pick it up, she would stomp on it, and then sit on it, and she would not let them disparage Hillary.
It was quite a bit.
Yeah, I have that in the show notes.
What is it now?
870.noagendanotes.com What's funny about that statue, when they knocked it down, it made this weird noise.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I gotcha.
And only other thing I have really in the discovery world, I did not know this, Justin Trudeau's mom, Margaret Trudeau, she has quite a history.
She was married.
Yeah, go on.
She's very famous.
Yeah, because she blew all the Rolling Stones.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yes, yeah.
Wouldn't surprise me, though.
Yeah, she was a Club Studio 54 girl.
Oh, okay.
She was crazy, Studio 54, and she would go on the tour bus and hang out with the Rolling Stones.
I had no idea.
Huh.
Where'd you get this little tidbit?
Dated.
No, my friend Jack Ponte, someone was talking about how Canada is so great, and he replied back and said, oh yeah, how about it?
He literally said, how about his mom who blew all the Rolling Stones?
Which I thought was a great line.
It's about like Linda Ronstad, and she blew the Doobie Brothers.
But that's just hearsay.
I didn't know that, though.
That actually makes her kind of cool.
And, you know, Justin gets a little bit on him then.
I would...
I was listening to you, watching ABC, and there's a native ad, kind of a native ad that they ran for...
Because all these new shows, they run something that they're going to run on the network.
And they're going to play the pumpkin show, the Charlie Brown pumpkin show, and it's a big celebration that it's got these...
They've invested a lot of money in these mazes.
Play this clip, you'll understand what's going on, and then you'll hear my complaint about this.
Charlie Brown, native ad.
Google Flights and the Hopper app, which claims...
Sorry.
Sorry, my mistake.
Yes.
Corn mazes are all around the country this time of year, but none like the one we're seeing in Livermore.
Peanuts is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown by creating peanuts-themed mazes all around the country.
There are more than 90 of them.
Sky 7 flew over this one in Livermore.
You can see the mazes and all the peanuts characters there.
A reminder, it's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown airs tomorrow night at 8, followed by Toy Story of Terror at 8.30, right here on ABC7. Yeah, yeah.
That's the way to do it.
That's the way to do it.
And by the way, this thing should be in public domain.
This show, this Charlie Brown's Pumpkin in October, whatever it's called, This is 50 years old and they're still playing it.
And I never liked that.
I liked the Christmas special.
I've never liked the...
I don't like the Christmas special either.
I think they all suck.
Charlie Brown is not...
I mean, it's a funny cartoon strip, but it's not a good thing to show on television.
It's boring.
The voices don't ring true.
It's not funny.
And it's old.
It was produced 50 years ago and they're still showing it.
Well, they probably have the rights and it's free for them.
They have a long-term deal.
Come on.
You know how television works.
You know how it works.
I just find it to be annoying.
The native ad for Google was different.
Although it was on ABC again and another native ad.
But it's for a product.
I was thinking I'm going to hold this clip for a tech segment that we'll probably do on the next show.
So we're not going to play it?
No, let's play it on Sun Sun.
I have one thing that I just thought was humorous.
This is a YouTuber guy.
He's called the Doctor of Common Sense.
And it's a black guy and he sits in his car and he does his podcast, his YouTube podcast.
And there was a piece of news that came out We could have just reported on, but I figure I'll play this and you tell me when you've heard enough of him, but he's going to give us the news.
Welcome to Common Sense TV. I'm your host, the doctor of Common Sense.
I don't know if y'all heard it or not, but Michelle's mother, Mrs.
Robertson, is scheduled to start receiving a pension for $160,000 for her pension because she's been a caregiver To her granddaughters.
You heard about this story?
Yep.
So it's $160,000 a year pension because she worked for eight years taking care of her granddaughters and the doctor of common sense takes issue.
I don't understand how we become such a wimpy nation to allow this fraudulent piece of crap, Barack Hussein Obama, who's been living like a freaking billionaire off the taxpayer's money, spent 10 trillion dollars, his manly ass wife, who don't even know how to walk like a freaking woman, into the White House.
Heifer's been traveling.
His mother probably had never even left Chicago.
Now she's a freaking world traveler on the taxpayer dime.
And now we're going to give her $160,000 pension.
Because she spent eight years in the White House for the damn children.
Ain't nobody asks you to bring your ass up in the White House and take care of them children.
I mean, our children.
Now, hell, we gotta pay for it.
This bastard rips the country off for $10 trillion.
He and Michelle Obama takes vacation after vacation.
SOB been golfing for years.
And now we gotta pay for his damn wife, Mammy, $160,000.
Pension!
And you think that this damn country is not corrupt?
Do you want to hear more?
Or are you okay with that?
I think we're good.
Love you, mean it.
It's good, though.
It's a good rant.
You've got to watch this guy.
I've never seen him before.
He could be our new Manning.
He could be our new Manning.
Yeah, Manning hasn't really delivered much recently.
Hmm...
Can I listen to Manning?
Yeah.
Just the Mac Daddy days.
Yeah.
I don't think he really delivered.
I mean...
That was kind of his...
He peaked.
He jumped the shark.
He peaked after that.
Exactly.
All right.
That's all I got.
And my voice is gone and I'm falling down from agony and pain.
Well, you sounded good.
You sounded pro.
You hung in there.
You didn't sound like you're dying like it sounds like you are when you're not on the air.
So I guess we should call it a day.
Look forward to Sunday.
And hello, new listeners.
Hello.
Hello.
Goodbye.
Exactly.
All right.
Thanks to Danny Luce and UK PMX. A couple of tracks for our end-of-show mix, as usual.
And, let's see.
There's nothing else really going on.
It is a show day, so anything could happen.
But, barring any crazy things, we'll speak to each other again on Sunday.
Two more shows until the Big Nine.
And we never had a fight.
That's the best part about it.
Nine years.
Actually, there's only really one more show.
Wednesday is the ninth anniversary, and then Thursday is the show that celebrates it.
So yeah, I guess you could say two more shows.
Excellente.
Okay.

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, it was like, you might die.
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-Dr.
King.
You African, you Jesse Jackson, you process head Al Sharpton, you are wicked!
You are cruel!
Yeah, yeah.
Barack will save Obama.
The son of Satan.
That was the Antichrist.
You know.
Heck you say.
Come on.
Uh, crazy.
Crazy.
Truthiness tests.
Crazy.
And those that we have to discard because they just don't have any basis in anything that's actually happening in the world.
What?
Crazy.
Truthiness tests.
Crazy.
And those that we have to discard because they just don't have any basis in anything that's actually happening in the world.
Truthiness tests.
I was an anti-Christ.
You know.
You say.
It's been found by a super secret group inside the CIA.
Well, I don't know because it's.
Inside Langley's CIA super hackers use that information to direct us being run by a.
She would be a grandpa.
That's how we say.
But I think it's going to be necessary.
It's going to be possible.
I think The answer is obviously not censorship.
Being run by a super-secret group.
Or 100%.
I don't know.
Inside Langley's CIA super-hackers.
In just about all cases, it's nonsense.
Inside the CIA. I've had an awkward encounter with a...
Langley's CIA super-hackers.
I actually do.
Being run by a super-secret group.
We do not know.
Inside Leprecha.
Because if a guy I actually do not know.
He'd be a grandpa, that's how we say it.
Invaders coming in and trying to...
Sorry, it's going to be possible.
Penis.
Our super secret group.
He would be a grandpa.
And trying to mess with...
Penis, he would be a grandpa.
In just about all cases...
And my head and penis.
If found a super secret group being run by a super secret for secret group inside the CIA. Possible.
I think the answer is obviously not censorship.
Amen.
Adios, mofo.
Love you, mean it.
