# White, Male & Yale > A scathing Inspector General report undercuts the Clinton campaign narrative as the TSA turns to military-style surge tactics and 1970s floppy disks still run the nuclear triad. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 828 - **Published:** 2016-05-26 - **Length:** 3h 17m - **Topics:** [Susan Rice](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/susan-rice.md), [Clinton Emails](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/clinton-emails.md), [Mandela Effect](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/mandela-effect.md), [Zika Virus](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/zika-virus.md), TSA Modernization, Soros Protests, [Floppy Disks](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/floppy-disks.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/828-white-male-yale ## About this episode National Security Advisor Susan Rice sparked backlash following a commencement speech at Florida International University where she criticized the national security workforce for being too white, male, and Yale. The address, which prioritized diversity quotas over traditional graduation themes, coincides with a scathing State Department Inspector General report confirming Hillary Clinton violated federal email policies. The OIG findings reveal Clinton and top aides like Huma Abedin refused interviews, contradicting previous claims of transparency regarding the private server. In Albuquerque, violent protests against Donald Trump were reportedly fueled by professional agitators from groups like The Red Nation and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. While MSNBC contributors characterized the unrest as an expression of humanity, local reports suggest organizations funded by George Soros staged the disruptions. Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office revealed the U.S. military still utilizes 8-inch floppy disks from the 1970s to coordinate nuclear forces, and the TSA is attempting to modernize airport checkpoints with automated screening lanes in Atlanta. Internationally, the European Commission proposed a 20% content quota for streaming giants Netflix and Amazon to combat American media dominance. The program explores the Mandela Effect, a psychological phenomenon where the public collectively misremembers cultural facts like the title of Sex and the City or the death of Nelson Mandela. The hosts also analyze the bizarre media pivot where Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton are confused in live broadcasts. High-level producers Robert Bruckner, Sir Otaku, and Phil Bennett are recognized for their support under the value-for-value model. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Garbage Collection Delays and Morning Banter (0:00–1:33) The hosts open the program with a discussion about a confusing automated phone call regarding delayed garbage collection. They compare the notification system to school closure alerts. The conversation transitions into light banter about the day of the week and audio artifacts in the broadcast. Keywords: garbage collection, [school closures](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/school-closures.md), [austin](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/austin.md), [texas](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/texas.md), [silicon valley](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/silicon-valley.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/828-white-male-yale/chapter/1.md) ### 2. Tornado Chasers, Record Hurricane Drought, and Twisted Buildings (1:34–5:32) Severe weather across Texas and the central United States features prominently, with a focus on professional storm chasers selling footage of mile-wide funnel clouds. A record 127-month drought of major hurricanes in the U.S. is noted despite previous meteorological predictions. An anecdote is shared regarding a skyscraper in downtown Fort Worth that was structurally twisted by a past tornado, rendering it permanently unoccupied.

EgyptAir Flight MS804 Disappearance and Media Silence (5:32–10:01) The disappearance of EgyptAir Flight MS804 from radar is analyzed, specifically the rapid decline in mainstream media coverage compared to the year-long coverage of MH370. Reports suggest the captain may have had extremist links, while the lack of active "ping" trailing for the black boxes is questioned. The hosts speculate that political election cycles or lack of new wreckage findings have caused the story to fade.

Local News Video Press Releases and Child Microchipping (10:02–13:22) A critique of local news "packages" identifies them as likely video press releases designed to look like organic reporting. A specific segment from a Tampa Bay station is examined, which features a mother advocating for microchipping children to prevent them from getting lost. The reporting uses movie clips and infrared footage to heighten parental anxiety.

Barcode Analogies and Corporate PR in News (13:23–20:48) The discussion continues regarding the child microchipping news package, focusing on the reporter's claim that barcodes were considered "invasive" in the 1960s. The hosts debunk this historical claim, noting that barcodes were always intended for inventory control, not human tracking. They characterize the entire news segment as a PR effort for defunct tech companies attempting to normalize invasive tracking.

US Military Use of 8-Inch Floppy Disks (20:48–25:44) A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report reveals that the U.S. military still uses 8-inch floppy disks from the 1970s to coordinate nuclear forces. While the media portrays this as a dangerous security flaw, the hosts argue that legacy COBOL systems are more secure because they lack modern internet connectivity. One host recounts owning a collection of vintage 8-inch disks and custom shirts designed to hold floppy media.

GAO Report on $60 Billion IT Maintenance Costs (25:44–31:02) The GAO estimates that $60 billion is spent annually to maintain aging federal IT systems, including those at the Social Security Administration. Critics in Congress argue that IT graduates are being "dumbed down" to learn 1960s-era programming. The hosts defend the reliability of IBM mainframes and the AS/400, noting that the airline industry still relies on these robust legacy systems for core operations.

State Department Inspector General Report on Email Records (31:03–35:44) The State Department Inspector General released a report titled "Evaluation of Email Records Management and Cybersecurity Requirements." The document details how Hillary Clinton violated department policies by using a private server and failing to seek authorization. The report highlights a 2010 exchange where Clinton expressed a desire to keep personal emails inaccessible, contradicting her claims of transparency.

Barbara Boxer Defense of Clinton Email Practices (35:44–39:15) Senator Barbara Boxer is criticized for her interpretation of the OIG report during a media interview. Boxer claims the report proves Clinton's actions were "systemic" and identical to predecessors like Colin Powell. The hosts point out that the rules changed significantly in 2005, making comparisons to Powell's era legally and technically inaccurate.

Andrea Mitchell and Deutsche Welle on Clinton's Legal Risks (39:15–44:24) Journalist Andrea Mitchell and correspondents from Deutsche Welle provide a more critical analysis of the OIG report, suggesting it "undercuts" Clinton's campaign narrative. The report confirms that Clinton and her top aides, including Huma Abedin, refused to be interviewed by the Inspector General. International observers note that the official nature of the report makes the "above the law" narrative more damaging to her candidacy.

Media Bias Shift and CBS Coverage of Server Hacks (44:25–48:24) The hosts observe a shift in CBS News coverage, which they perceive as becoming more critical of Hillary Clinton. A CBS report by Nancy Cordes highlights that Clinton's private technology advisor shut down the server in 2011 due to suspected hacking attempts. Clinton campaign spokesperson Ryan Fallon is shown attempting to frame the OIG report as a validation of widespread personal email use.

State Department Briefing on Server Security and Hacking (48:25–53:00) A State Department press briefing features a spokesperson struggling to answer questions about whether Clinton's server was successfully hacked. The spokesperson admits the OIG report does not confirm the security of the system and refers reporters back to Clinton's personal team. The hosts mock the lack of technical understanding displayed by both the journalists and the government officials.

ABC News Adjective Use and Shouting Reporters (53:01–58:06) ABC News coverage of the email scandal is analyzed for its use of aggressive adjectives like "scathing" and "slammed." The hosts note the use of "shouting reporter" tropes to create a sense of conflict. The segment also mentions Clinton's appearance on Ellen with an SNL doppelgänger as a tactic to distract from the ongoing FBI investigation.

Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby Name Confusion (58:07–1:00:28) An MSNBC anchor accidentally refers to Bill Cosby as "Bill Clinton" during a breaking news segment about a criminal sex assault case in Pennsylvania. The hosts discuss how this verbal slip reflects the subconscious associations currently present in the media landscape.

Kenneth Starr, Baylor University, and Bill Clinton Hit Piece (1:00:29–1:06:26) CBS News is accused of running a "hit piece" that uses the sexual assault scandal at Baylor University to discredit Kenneth Starr and, by extension, remind viewers of Bill Clinton's past scandals. The report links Starr's current troubles as President of Baylor to his 1990s investigation of the Monica Lewinsky affair. The hosts argue the segment is a vehicle to damage the Clinton brand ahead of the election.

Van Jones on Marriage and Family Values (1:06:26–1:09:06) CNN commentator Van Jones is heard defending the Clintons' marriage by asking "how hard it is to stay married in America." The hosts mock this defense, contrasting Clinton's White House affair with Donald Trump's multiple marriages. They suggest Jones's comments may reflect personal frustrations or a weak attempt to pivot away from character attacks.

Chuck Todd and the 2006 Housing Bubble Defense (1:09:06–1:12:46) Chuck Todd is observed providing a rare defense of Donald Trump regarding comments made in 2006 about the housing bubble. While Hillary Clinton's campaign claims Trump "rooted" for the economic collapse, Todd notes that as a real estate investor, identifying a bubble and waiting to buy on the cheap is a standard business practice rather than a desire for homelessness.

Trump Rally Protests and Elizabeth Warren Attacks (1:12:48–1:17:34) Donald Trump's rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is marked by violent protests and attacks on Republican Governor Susana Martinez. The segment also covers the escalating feud between Trump and Senator Elizabeth Warren. Trump uses the nicknames "Pocahontas" and "Goofy" to describe Warren, while she characterizes him as a "money grubber."

George Soros and Staged Protests in Albuquerque (1:17:35–1:22:07) A producer provides a first-hand account of the Albuquerque protests, claiming they were staged by professional agitators. Organizations such as "The Red Nation" and the "Party for Socialism and Liberation" (PSL) are identified as being active at the event. The hosts link the funding of these groups to George Soros, suggesting a strategy of paying for activities that result in violence to influence the political narrative.

Bernie Sanders Rallies and Gary Johnson Polling (1:22:07–1:23:58) The hosts discuss the media blackout of Bernie Sanders' large rallies and the rising poll numbers for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, who is reaching 10% in some surveys. They briefly mention the poor audio quality of the Libertarian debate available online.

Executive Producer Credits and No Agenda Karma (1:23:59–1:36:19) The hosts thank the show's producers and donors, specifically naming Robert Bruckner, Sir Otaku, and Phil Bennett as high-level contributors. They discuss the "Karma" jingle, a listener-created tradition used to send positive energy to producers facing challenges like job hunts or health issues. The segment includes a detailed explanation of the show's value-for-value model.

Deconstructing the Mandela Effect and Cultural Memory (1:36:26–1:45:08) The "Mandela Effect" is explored as a psychological phenomenon where large groups of people remember cultural facts incorrectly. Examples discussed include the title of "Sex and the City," Darth Vader's famous line to Luke Skywalker, and the lyrics to the Mr. Rogers theme song. The hosts argue this is a demonstration of how easily the public can be "brainwashed" by media repetition.

Nelson Mandela and the Sociology of Being Wrong (1:45:09–1:49:12) The origin of the Mandela Effect—the false belief that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s—is discussed. The hosts debate the sociology behind people refusing to admit they are wrong, instead blaming a "glitch in the matrix." One host expresses frustration with the depth of the research into this "idiocy."

Zika Virus Funding and "Flat World" Rhetoric (1:49:12–1:54:05) Senator Harry Reid is heard campaigning for $1.9 billion in emergency Zika virus funding, warning that mosquitoes will soon "leave town" for the summer. Dr. David Agus appears on CBS to recommend wearing mosquito nets in public. Agus repeatedly uses the phrase "the world is flat" to describe viral transmission, which the hosts mock as a nonsensical buzzword.

IBM OpenZika Project and Mosquito Release Programs (1:54:05–1:57:18) IBM has launched the "OpenZika" project, encouraging users to download an app that uses their phone's processing power for research. The hosts compare this to the "SETI@home" project and express skepticism, suggesting it could be a conduit for malware or hidden cryptocurrency mining. They also mention Bill Gates-funded programs that release bacteria-infected mosquitoes into the wild.

German Refugee Crisis and Georgian Crime Gangs (1:57:18–2:02:16) A report from Germany reveals a surge in politically motivated crimes and a record 167,000 break-ins. Surprisingly, the German Interior Minister identifies gangs from the Republic of Georgia as being responsible for a large proportion of these crimes. These individuals reportedly apply for asylum to collect benefits while conducting organized burglaries.

Austrian Presidential Election and EU Article 7 (2:02:19–2:07:06) The Austrian presidential election resulted in a narrow victory for Green Party candidate Alexander Van der Bellen over right-wing populist Norbert Hofer. The hosts discuss EU President Jean-Claude Juncker's threat to use "Article 7" to block right-wing populists from power. The razor-thin margin of 0.6% highlights the deep cultural divide in Austria regarding migration and Euroskepticism.

French Labor Strikes and European Employment Laws (2:07:07–2:13:01) France is facing nationwide blockades and strikes at nuclear power plants as unions protest proposed labor reforms. The reforms aim to make hiring and firing easier to combat unemployment. The hosts discuss the complexity of European labor laws, including the "13th month" salary requirement in the Netherlands and the extreme difficulty of terminating employees in Germany and France.

Nigel Farage on Brexit and Turkey's EU Ambitions (2:13:01–2:17:40) Nigel Farage delivers a speech in the European Parliament criticizing the EU's migration deal with Turkey. Farage argues that granting visa-free travel to 75 million Turks is "dangerous" and "mad," citing Turkey's alleged links to ISIS and its focus on bombing Kurds. He frames the potential integration of Turkey as a primary reason for Britain to vote for Brexit.

Germany's New Integration Law for Refugees (2:17:40–2:18:59) The German coalition government has approved a new integration law requiring refugees to learn the German language and support themselves to receive long-term residence visas. The law allows the state to dictate where refugees live for three years and cuts benefits for those who refuse to attend integration courses.

EU Content Quotas for Netflix and Amazon (2:19:00–2:22:27) The European Commission is proposing a 20% quota for European-produced content on streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. The move is intended to "counterbalance the huge glut of US productions" and provide indirect support for the European film industry. The hosts suggest streaming services will likely fulfill this by purchasing cheap, older European catalogs.

Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act (2:22:28–2:28:15) House Bill 5181, the "Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016," is analyzed. The bill seeks to establish a "Center for Information Analysis and Response" to counter narratives from Russia and China. The hosts compare this to a "Ministry of Truth," noting that $20 million will be authorized to fund NGOs, think tanks, and journalists to promote "fact-based narratives."

Knighting Ceremony and Birthday Announcements (2:28:16–2:37:01) The hosts conduct a formal knighting ceremony for Nick Johannes and Sir Basquez, who have each donated over $1,000 to the program. They also read birthday announcements for listeners and acknowledge various donations ranging from $50 to $113. The segment maintains the show's tradition of recognizing the "producers" who fund the broadcast.

DC Comics Social Justice and Batgirl (2:37:03–2:40:40) A discussion on the influence of "Social Justice Warrior" themes in comic books mentions changes in the DC "New 52" universe. Specifically, the hosts discuss reports of Batgirl's romantic interests and the inclusion of transgender characters. One host expresses interest in collecting these issues to document the cultural shift.

TSA Automated Screening Lanes and IT Modernization (2:40:43–2:45:45) TSA Administrator Peter Neffinger discusses the implementation of automated screening lanes at Atlanta's airport, a system already common in Europe. The new system uses RFID tags, automated bin returns, and multiple stations to speed up the checkpoint process. The hosts remain skeptical, suggesting the "modernization" is another IT-focused government expenditure that may not solve core security issues.

TSA Federal Workforce vs. Private Contractors (2:45:47–2:48:55) Administrator Neffinger, a former Coast Guard Vice Admiral, defends the use of a federal TSA workforce over private contractors. He argues that federal employees provide more "flexibility" for "surge events," using military terminology to describe airport staffing. The hosts mock his use of terms like "deployable" and "surge" in a civilian security context.

Washington Redskins Name Poll and Native American Sentiment (2:48:56–2:51:26) A Washington Post poll reveals that 9 out of 10 Native Americans are not offended by the name of the Washington Redskins football team. This contradicts the narrative pushed by political pressure groups and President Obama. The hosts discuss how the controversy was largely manufactured by activists rather than the community the name supposedly disparages.

Susan Rice Commencement Speech on Diversity (2:51:26–2:54:49) National Security Advisor Susan Rice is criticized for a commencement speech at Florida International University where she lamented that the national security workforce is "white, male, and Yale." The hosts argue that politicizing a graduation ceremony with diversity quotas is inappropriate and fails to provide the traditional "inspirational" message expected at such events.

Milo Yiannopoulos and University Protest Culture (2:54:50–3:00:42) Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos's appearance at DePaul University was disrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters using whistles and storming the stage. The hosts also discuss a professor at the University of Warwick who claimed that reading bedtime stories to children is a form of "privilege" that disadvantages others. They link these incidents to a broader decline in free speech on campuses.

MSNBC Coverage of Anti-Trump Violence (3:00:42–3:03:11) An MSNBC contributor is heard describing violent anti-Trump protesters as "expressing their humanity." The hosts criticize the network for excusing property damage and physical skirmishes as legitimate grievances. They argue that the media is actively stoking fear by characterizing Trump's candidacy as "terrifying" to immigrant communities.

Freddie Gray Case and "The Wire" Influence (3:03:11–3:07:57) Following the dismissal of charges against officers in the Freddie Gray case, an MSNBC segment suggests that police culture in Baltimore is influenced by the HBO show "The Wire." The hosts mock the idea that professional police officers view fictional television to determine their policing strategies. They point out the irony of blaming a TV show in a city with black leadership across the mayor's office, police department, and prosecution.

AAA Report on Marijuana and Driving (3:07:58–3:11:48) A AAA report claims that fatal crashes involving drivers who used marijuana have doubled in Washington State since legalization. However, the report also admits there is no scientific basis for a "legal limit" similar to the 0.08 BAC for alcohol. The hosts discuss the impact of the Uber and Lyft exit from Austin on drunk and high driving rates.

Ants Medley and Show Sign-off (3:11:48–3:17:12) The show concludes with a humorous "ants medley" featuring various clips of the hosts discussing ant infestations, "siege mode," and torching ants. They remind listeners of the upcoming Sunday show and provide donation information before signing off with their traditional "Adios mofos."
