# Clinton Condign > A coordinated media blitz targets the Republican frontrunner while leaked documents reveal the massive scale of George Soros’s influence over European integration and Dutch voters. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 813 - **Published:** 2016-04-07 - **Length:** 2h 35m - **Topics:** Clinton Dilation, Soros Funding, NATO Audit, Ant Trick, PodShare, MSNBC Edits - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/813-clinton-condign ## About this episode Hillary Clinton faced intense scrutiny this week after a high-profile MSNBC interview with Rachel Maddow revealed significant pupil dilation, sparking widespread speculation regarding the use of stimulants like Vyvanse or Adderall. The appearance coincided with a coordinated media strategy where Maddow presented Clinton with edited clips of Donald Trump to elicit a specific reaction. This tactical framing of the Republican frontrunner’s comments on abortion and the Supreme Court suggests a deepening alliance between the Clinton campaign and major media networks. In the European theater, Vice-President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans declared diversity as humanity's destiny, a sentiment echoed by leaked documents showing George Soros funded a 700,000 euro media blitz to influence the Dutch referendum on the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter characterized the extremist ideology of ISIS as a cancer requiring indefinite military intervention, while former Secretary Robert Gates admitted the Pentagon intentionally withholds detailed tactical options from White House civilian leadership. Domestically, Al Sharpton faced criticism for misrepresenting military casualty statistics, as Congressional Research Service data confirms white service members account for the vast majority of combat deaths. John C. Dvorak shared his unconventional method for managing Argentine ant infestations using a lighter to create witness ants that warn the colony. The show also explored the disappearance of Arthur Treacher’s fish and chips and the rise of PodShare flophouses in Los Angeles. Adam Curry demonstrated the eerie similarities in political rhetoric by pitch-shifting Clinton’s voice to match NYPD officials, while a strange audio glitch in a Detroit corruption report raised questions about AI interference in modern broadcasts. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

John C. Dvorak notes significant errors in the current donation spreadsheet, mentioning that a large contribution from Dame Astrid is missing. They decide to proceed with the available data while acknowledging the numbers are currently inaccurate.

Encryption Rhetoric Transmogrification and Pitch Shifting (24:06–26:20) Adam Curry demonstrates audio manipulation by pitch-shifting a clip of Hillary Clinton discussing impenetrable encryption. The modified audio makes Clinton sound like Face the Nation host John Dickerson and NYPD official John Miller. The segment highlights how the same political rhetoric on cybersecurity and ISIS is echoed across different public figures.

Hillary Clinton Dilation and Rachel Maddow Interview (26:21–31:30) During an MSNBC interview with Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton's pupils appeared extremely dilated despite the bright studio lights. The hosts speculate on the cause, ranging from attraction to Maddow to the use of stimulants like Vyvanse or Adderall. They contrast Clinton's appearance with Maddow's constricted pupils and discuss the psychological impact of pupil dilation on perceived trustworthiness.

White House Censorship of Francois Hollande (31:32–35:59) The White House is accused of censoring a video of French President Francois Hollande during the Nuclear Security Summit. In the official whitehouse.gov video, the phrase "Islamist terrorism" was replaced with silence in the audio track. The hosts argue this was a deliberate attempt to align the footage with President Obama's refusal to use the specific term when discussing ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Ashton Carter and the Cancer of ISIS (36:00–41:45) Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter addresses ROTC members regarding the criteria for defeating ISIS in Raqqa and Mosul. Carter describes the extremist ideology as a "cancer" that requires constant military intervention even after territorial defeat. The hosts criticize Carter's suggestion that the military may need to address Americans who have "lost their way" and are inspired by ISIS domestically.

Robert Gates on Pentagon Information Control (41:47–44:26) Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates suggests in a Fox News preview that the Pentagon intentionally withholds detailed military options from White House staff. Gates implies that civilian leadership often lacks the understanding to handle complex military data. The hosts discuss this as evidence of the military-industrial complex operating independently of presidential oversight.

April Fool's Day Hoaxes and Silicon Valley Humor (44:27–48:52) The hosts lament the decline of April Fool's Day humor, citing "lame" corporate jokes from Google and Open Table's "lickable menus." John C. Dvorak argues that the internet has ruined the timing and believability of traditional hoaxes. They also critique Elon Musk's Tesla Model 3 presentation, comparing it unfavorably to the showmanship of Steve Jobs.

Al Sharpton and Military Casualty Racial Statistics (48:53–54:16) Al Sharpton is criticized for claiming on MSNBC that a disproportionate number of "black and brown" service members die in Middle Eastern conflicts. Adam Curry cites a 2015 Congressional Research Service report to debunk this, noting that white service members account for the vast majority of casualties. The discussion also revisits racial statistics from the Vietnam War to challenge common historical narratives.

US Military Death Causes and Racial Agitation (54:17–1:00:22) Data from the Congressional Research Service identifies "accidents" as the leading cause of death for US military personnel since 1980. The hosts analyze current casualty rates in Operation Enduring Freedom, showing that African American deaths are statistically lower than their percentage of the general population. They accuse MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of enabling Al Sharpton's "racial war" rhetoric.

Dame Astrid and the Dvorak Ant Killing Trick (1:00:23–1:06:33) Dame Astrid, Duchess of Japan, contributes $234.56 and shares a story about buying fake paintings in Vietnam. In response, John C. Dvorak reiterates his "ant trick" for managing Argentine ant infestations. The tactic involves using a lighter to torch scout ants while leaving "witness" ants alive to carry the dead back to the nest, supposedly signaling the colony to avoid the area.

Myanmar Election and Aung San Suu Kyi Corruption (1:06:34–1:10:18) The hosts discuss the political situation in Myanmar, where Aung San Suu Kyi has hand-picked Tin Kyaw to serve as president because she is constitutionally barred from the office. They argue that Western media is ignoring the inherent corruption of a system where a non-elected official openly runs the government. The segment criticizes the "gaga" media coverage of Suu Kyi as a democratic icon.

Donald Trump Abortion Comment Controversy (1:10:19–1:16:24) Donald Trump faces intense criticism following an interview with Chris Matthews where he suggested "some form of punishment" for women who have abortions if the practice is banned. The hosts analyze reactions from Planned Parenthood's Cecile Richards and Dawn Laguens. Adam Curry argues that Trump made a "cardinal sin" by answering a political hypothetical, which he believes has cost him the general election.

MSNBC Town Hall Context and Pro-Life Debate (1:16:25–1:19:25) A review of the unedited MSNBC Town Hall footage shows Donald Trump attempting to discuss the importance of Supreme Court appointments following the death of Antonin Scalia. Trump initially tries to frame the abortion issue around judicial philosophy before being pressured by Chris Matthews into the "punishment" comment. The hosts note that Matthews explicitly stated he does not understand the pro-life position.

Rachel Maddow and Hillary Clinton Collaboration (1:19:26–1:24:56) Adam Curry alleges a coordinated effort between Rachel Maddow and Hillary Clinton to damage Donald Trump's campaign. Maddow interviewed Clinton at the Apollo Theater simultaneously with Trump's Town Hall, then immediately presented edited clips of Trump to Clinton for a "reaction." The hosts critique Maddow's adoring tone toward Clinton and her framing of Trump's comments as a desire to "punish women."

Analysis of Edited Trump-Matthews Exchange (1:24:57–1:33:38) The hosts break down the specific edits made by MSNBC to the Trump-Matthews exchange. They highlight how Trump tried to turn the question back on Matthews' Catholic faith to discuss moral versus legal punishments, but these segments were removed. The final broadcast version focused exclusively on Trump's admission that some form of sanction would be necessary if abortion were legally defined as a crime.

Hillary Clinton Reaction and Maya Angelou Quote (1:33:40–1:41:24) Hillary Clinton responds to Donald Trump's comments in a follow-up segment with Rachel Maddow, calling his rhetoric "outrageous and dangerous." Clinton invokes a Maya Angelou quote—"when someone shows you who they are, believe them"—to characterize the entire Republican platform. The hosts argue that Clinton is successfully making the election about women's rights and the future of the Supreme Court.

Republican Strategy and the Economic Cycle Theory (1:41:25–1:44:28) John C. Dvorak posits a theory that the Republican establishment may want Hillary Clinton to win to avoid being in power during an imminent economic collapse. Citing 40 and 80-year cycles of depression, he compares a potential Clinton presidency to the one-term failures of Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover. The hosts suggest the GOP might prefer a "shitty" Democratic president to take the blame for a financial crisis.

Donald Trump on NATO and Foreign Reimbursement (1:44:31–1:50:59) Donald Trump argues that NATO members and allies like Japan and South Korea are getting a "free ride" on US military protection. He suggests these nations should reimburse the United States or face the possibility of US withdrawal. Trump highlights his business dealings with China and South Korea as evidence of his superior negotiating skills compared to the current administration.

Hillary Clinton Foreign Policy and Global Bases (1:51:02–1:56:32) Hillary Clinton criticizes Donald Trump's "walk away" strategy regarding NATO, arguing it would drive allies toward Vladimir Putin. The hosts discuss the reality of the US as a "Roman Empire" style power, maintaining 662 overseas bases at a cost of hundreds of billions annually. They note that while Trump wants to audit the Pentagon and clean up "corrupt deals," Clinton represents the status quo of the empire.

Hillary Clinton Email Investigation and FBI Leverage (1:56:34–2:03:55) Judge Andrew Napolitano provides an update on the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server, describing it as a "perfect storm of legal misery." The hosts discuss the possibility that the FBI, led by James Comey, is gathering evidence not to prosecute, but to gain "leverage" or blackmail material over a potential President Clinton. They compare this tactic to the historical operations of J. Edgar Hoover.

Bernie Sanders and the Birdie Sanders Phenomenon (2:03:55–2:06:23) A small bird landing on Bernie Sanders' lectern during a speech sparked the "Birdie Sanders" viral trend among millennials. CBS News' Facebook edition is mocked for asking Sanders if the event was a "message from the ether" or if he has an "animal spirit." The hosts use the segment to criticize the lack of serious journalism in coverage of the Democratic primary.

Antiques Roadshow Oil Painting Reaction (2:12:38–2:14:12) John C. Dvorak describes a segment from Antiques Roadshow where a woman's oil painting was valued at $200,000 to $300,000.

Depression Foods and Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips (2:14:15–2:18:59) John C. Dvorak discusses "depression foods," noting that macaroni and cheese gained popularity in the 1930s as a cheap meal. He reminisces about the 1970s fad of fish and chip franchises like Arthur Treacher's and H. Salt, which have since largely disappeared. Dvorak attributes the decline of these shops to the "anti-fat movement" of the 1980s rather than a lack of product quality.

PodShare Flophouses and Uber Market Share (2:19:00–2:24:24) The hosts discuss "PodShare," a modern version of a flophouse in Los Angeles where millennials pay $40 a night for a bunk. Dvorak compares this to the evolution of car services in New York, noting how Uber has replaced the cumbersome voucher systems used during his time at MTV. They also mention that Lyft is gaining market share in New York because its app allows for easier tipping.
