## About this episode

Hillary Clinton faces intense scrutiny following a series of gun control proposals and a town hall performance labeled as insincere by critics. The Democratic frontrunner advocated for universal background checks and a ban on military-style weapons, while an NBC News focus group in New Hampshire described her as polarizing and condescending. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama was declared unwelcome in Roseburg, Oregon, by local officials who accused the administration of politicizing a recent mass shooting for grandstanding.

In the Middle East, General John Campbell admitted a U.S. airstrike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz was a chain-of-command decision, contradicting earlier claims by Afghan forces. Tensions escalate as Iraq considers requesting Russian airstrikes against ISIS, potentially sidelining U.S. influence in the region. Simultaneously, the U.S. Treasury Department has launched an inquiry into how ISIS acquired a massive fleet of Toyota Hilux pickups, while Senator John McCain continues to badger military leadership over a feckless strategy in Syria.

Domestic oddities include a Florida school district paying $600,000 after a principal hypnotized students before their suicides and Burger King customers reporting green stool from the Halloween Whopper. Vice President Joe Biden delivered a high-energy speech to the Human Rights Campaign where he accidentally coined the term transjester. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct these events alongside reports of George Soros funding migrant networks in Europe.

### 6. Whoopi Goldberg and The View on Gun Licensing (16:44–21:08)

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar discussed gun control on The View, with Goldberg suggesting that background checks should include the mental health history of a person's entire family. Goldberg, a gun owner herself, argued for stricter tracking of households with children on the autism spectrum or with other mental health issues. The hosts mock the panel's logic, particularly the claim that it is easier to get a gun than a driver's license.

Burger King's limited-edition Halloween Whopper, featuring a black bun, became a viral sensation due to reports that it turns consumers' stool green.

The hosts argue that these paid segments masquerading as news are an "abomination" that ruins television integrity.

Senator John McCain appeared in a committee hearing to badger military leaders about the lack of a coherent strategy in the Middle East.

### 14. US Bombing of Doctors Without Borders Hospital in Kunduz (44:23–49:23)

General John Campbell addressed the "tragic" US airstrike on a Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. While the military initially claimed the strike was requested by Afghan forces, Campbell clarified the decision was made within the US chain of command. The hosts express skepticism over the "mistake," noting the precision of modern GPS targeting and questioning the General's call for "in-depth training" following the incident.

### 15. Military Leadership Tensions and the NDAA Budget (49:23–54:11)

Senator John McCain's interrogation of General Campbell is framed by the hosts as a coordinated effort to portray the Obama administration as incompetent. The discussion centers on the $612 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the financial interests of the military-industrial complex. The hosts argue that the Kunduz hospital bombing serves as a distraction while the massive budget bill is pushed through Congress.

### 16. Syrian Proxy War and General Petraeus's Strategy (54:12–59:06)

Senator John McCain and General David Petraeus have called for a more aggressive US strategy in Syria, including the establishment of a no-fly zone. The hosts highlight the "clusterfuck" of the US supporting different rebel groups through the CIA and the Department of Defense. They warn that a no-fly zone would lead to direct military engagement with Russian aircraft, which are currently conducting strikes in the region.

### 17. Iraq Requests Russian Airstrikes Against ISIS (59:06–1:02:27)

Iraq's Parliament Defense and Security Committee head, Hakeem al-Zamili, indicated that Iraq may soon request Russian airstrikes against ISIS on its soil. The Iraqi government reportedly views US-led coalition efforts as ineffective and prefers the intelligence-sharing mechanism established between Russia, Iran, and Syria. The hosts suggest this move exposes the failure of US policy and the reality that the US has been using ISIS as a mercenary force.

The hosts discuss Vladimir Putin's recent moves in Syria and Ukraine, noting his ability to fill power vacuums left by the United States. They mock the White House's "checkers vs. chess" meme, which attempts to downplay Putin's strategic intelligence. Additionally, a report from Moldova details the arrest of smugglers attempting to sell radioactive cesium to ISIS, raising concerns about "dirty bomb" threats.

### 19. Toyota Trucks in ISIS Propaganda and US Treasury Inquiry (1:06:52–1:13:41)

The US Treasury Department has asked Toyota to help explain how ISIS acquired hundreds of brand-new Hilux pickups and Land Cruisers seen in propaganda videos. ABC News' Brian Ross reported on the "truck of choice" for terrorists, while Toyota claimed it cannot control indirect or black-market sales. The hosts suggest the sudden media focus on Toyota is a coordinated effort to protect the American auto industry or exert economic pressure on the Japanese automaker.

Research into the website w2eu.info, which provides maps and advice for migrants entering Europe, reveals it is funded by organizations linked to George Soros. The hosts trace the funding from the Migrants' Rights Network to bordermonitoring.eu.

### 23. Lebanon Refugee Crisis and Trading on Chaos (1:36:39–1:38:21)

Lebanon is reportedly at a breaking point, with one in four residents now a refugee due to the Syrian Civil War. The hosts discuss the potential for financial experts like Horowitz to explain how investors can "short" government bonds during periods of extreme social instability. They reiterate the concept of "trading on chaos" as a primary motivator for globalist funding of the migrant crisis.

### 25. Boots on the Ground Report from Hamburg, Germany (1:43:39–1:45:05)

A listener report from Hamburg, Germany, describes the disparity between the treatment of German retirees and new immigrants. While senior citizens receive approximately 650 euros a month in social security, new migrants reportedly receive 800 euros. The report notes that many German retirees are forced to scavenge for bottles to survive, while the general populace remains supportive of migrants due to "national guilt" from World War II.

### 27. Porsche Rejects Android Auto Over Data Collection (1:47:28–1:49:14)

Porsche decided not to include Android Auto in its 2017 911 model due to Google's extensive data collection requirements. The contract reportedly required the vehicle to transmit speed, throttle position, and engine revs back to Google. Porsche opted for Apple CarPlay instead, as Apple only requires the car to confirm whether it is in motion.

### 28. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Problems for Truck Drivers (1:49:15–1:51:39)

A truck driver provides a "user perspective" on Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), which the EPA mandated for truck engines in 2012. The fluid, which is primarily urea, reportedly freezes in cold temperatures and emits a strong odor similar to cat urine. Drivers face significant performance issues, including "limp mode," if the DEF system fails or if the engine's "regen" soot-cleaning process is interrupted.

The Department of Homeland Security raided the male escort site rentboy.com, seizing servers containing decades of customer data. The investigation began under then-US Attorney Loretta Lynch and has already resulted in the outing of David Geithner, brother of former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. The hosts suggest the FBI and DOJ now possess a massive "blackmailing database" of high-profile clients and politicians.

Facebook partnered with Eutelsat to launch the Amos 6 satellite, part of Mark Zuckerberg's Internet.org initiative to bring connectivity to Africa. The hosts criticize the project as a "crappy publicity stunt," noting that satellite internet suffers from extreme latency and is inferior to the fiber optic networks Google is currently laying across the continent. They argue that Wall Street is being misled by the PR narrative of "connectivity as a human right."

### 31. US and Russian Jet Encounters Over Syria (2:00:41–2:04:11)

The Pentagon acknowledged a "close encounter" between a US aircraft and a Russian jet over Syria, though the aircraft remained 20 miles apart. The hosts mock the media's portrayal of the event, noting that 20 miles is not a "close" distance in aviation terms. The incident highlights the lack of a formal deconfliction agreement between the two militaries as they operate in the same airspace.

### 32. Turkey Complains of Russian Airspace Violations (2:04:12–2:08:14)

Turkey reported that its F-16 jets were harassed and placed on radar lock by an unidentified MiG-29 near the Syrian border.

A segment from "The Soup" features a club of men who meet weekly to discuss and use antique washing machines. These hobbyists maintain a collection of vintage appliances, including a rare Whirlpool model known as "The Pounder" that uses a vertical agitation mechanism. The hosts find the niche hobby both "sad" and "nerdy," but fascinating from a mechanical perspective.

An NBC News focus group in New Hampshire revealed deep-seated negative perceptions of Hillary Clinton's personality.

### 35. Pro-Biden Super PAC Launches Draft Joe Ad (2:16:09–2:17:54)

A pro-Joe Biden Super PAC released a "powerful and personal" advertisement urging the Vice President to enter the 2016 presidential race. NBC News received an "exclusive" first look at the ad, which the hosts interpret as a sign that the network is helping the Obama administration push Biden as an alternative to Hillary Clinton. The ad focuses on Biden's personal resilience and "angelic" qualities.

### 36. Joe Biden's Speech to the Human Rights Campaign (2:17:55–2:26:13)

Vice President Joe Biden delivered a high-energy, teleprompter-free speech to the Human Rights Campaign advocating for the Equality Act. During the address, he praised the LGBT community for "setting free" straight Americans and used the term "transgesture" instead of transgender. The hosts are impressed by his oratorical skills but suggest he may have been "half in the bag" or drinking during the performance.

### 37. Hillary Clinton's Strategy for the Democratic Debates (2:26:13–2:28:25)

The hosts analyze the upcoming CNN Democratic debate, predicting it will be a "love fest" between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders unless Joe Biden enters the race. They suggest Clinton actually wants Biden to run so he can neutralize Sanders, allowing her to remain above the fray. Without a "wild card" like Biden or Trump, the hosts believe the Democratic debates will suffer from low viewership.

### 39. DraftKings Insider Trading and Podcast Advertising Conflicts (2:37:12–2:40:36)

The daily fantasy sports site DraftKings is facing allegations of insider trading, a story the hosts claim many major podcasts are ignoring due to advertising conflicts. DraftKings and its competitor, FanDuel, spend heavily on ads for shows like Joe Rogan and Howard Stern. The hosts argue that the No Agenda model is superior because it allows them to deconstruct such scandals without fear of losing corporate sponsors.

### 40. Bill Ziff's Special Interest Publishing Formula (2:40:36–2:46:18)

John C. Dvorak recounts his time at Ziff Davis and the publishing philosophy of Bill Ziff, who perfected the "special interest" magazine model. Ziff believed that readers of magazines like PC Magazine or Modern Bride should be "immersed" in a specific world, meaning all ads had to match the editorial content. This strategy turned the readers into a "packaged product" sold to advertisers at high rates, a concept Dvorak says still applies to modern media.

### 41. Adblock Plus and the Acceptable Ads Racketeering (2:46:19–2:52:46)

Adblock Plus is introducing a program to allow "acceptable ads" through its filter in exchange for a fee from advertisers. The hosts describe this as "legal racketeering" and "extortion," noting that the "Acceptable Ads Manifesto" website is registered to the lead developer of Adblock Plus. They discuss the future of online advertising and Google's efforts to bypass blockers by serving ads directly from primary domains.

### 42. Jimmy Kimmel's Man on the Street Tax Plan Prank (2:52:49–2:57:56)

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel conducted a "man on the street" segment where he asked Hillary Clinton supporters if they liked her new tax proposals, which were actually Donald Trump's policies. Participants praised the ideas—such as cutting corporate taxes and eliminating the estate tax—until they were told the plans belonged to Trump. The hosts highlight the "mind control" on display as supporters immediately struggled to reconcile their approval of the policies with their dislike of Trump.

### 43. Jimmy Kimmel's Selfie Today Segment (2:57:57–3:00:26)

In another Jimmy Kimmel segment, pedestrians in Los Angeles were asked if they had posted a selfie that day. One woman, Heidi Odette Scherzinger, claimed she had challenged Evel Knievel to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1974 but was stopped by a "campaign issue." The hosts use the clip to illustrate the "doomed" state of modern society and the eccentricities of people found on the streets of LA.

### 44. Joe Friday's Hippie Lecture from Dragnet (3:00:31–3:02:54)

A clip from the television show Dragnet features Sergeant Joe Friday lecturing a "hippie scum" youth about the dangers of instant gratification. Friday's speech touches on "instant orange juice," "instant transportation," and "instant answers," which the hosts find remarkably similar to modern complaints about millennials. They note that the generational divide and the desire for quick solutions are recurring themes in American culture.

### 45. CBS News Sweetened Reports and Vape Convention Outro (3:02:54–3:09:48)

The hosts critique a CBS News report by Holly Williams on Russian cruise missile strikes in Syria, noting the heavy use of "sweetening" (background music and sound effects) to manipulate viewer emotions. Adam Curry announces he will be attending a vape convention in Houston, which he describes as a cross between Comic-Con and a porn convention. The episode concludes with a final "In the Morning" sign-off and a warning to wash hands after "touching anyone on the internet."
