## About this episode

The Associated Press declared Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee based on a survey of superdelegates just hours before the California primary. Internal campaign emails titled Secret Win version 2 suggest the announcement was a coordinated effort to suppress voter turnout for Bernie Sanders. This move coincides with a New York Times inquiry into whether the Sanders campaign is inherently sexist for delaying the first female presidency.

Secondary stories include the State Department claiming a 75-year timeline is required to process 1.5 million pages of Clinton aide emails under FOIA requests. In Poland, NATO launched Operation Anaconda 16, the largest military exercise since the Cold War, while Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland requested 100 million dollars to counter Russian propaganda. Domestically, the IRS was forced by a federal appeals court to release a list of 426 conservative groups targeted for extra scrutiny, and the NFL Twitter account was hacked to falsely report the death of Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Deshauna Barber, an active-duty Army logistics commander and IT analyst, secured the Miss USA 2016 title after a final round focused on military recruitment and gender roles. The broadcast also highlights the breaking of Moore's Law as doubling transistors becomes cost-prohibitive, leading to a tech industry shift toward power consumption over raw processing speed. Executive Producer Shana Alaka and the hosts also debunk Edward Snowden's claims regarding the 2013 grounding of Evo Morales' plane using tower audio.

### 3. Media Coverage, Bernie Sanders Zombie Candidacy (5:39–10:16)

Mainstream media outlets, including CBS and PBS, are criticized for using terms like "zombie candidacy" to describe Bernie Sanders' ongoing campaign. DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show to clarify that unpledged superdelegates are free to change their minds until the July convention.

A New York Times reporter questioned Bernie Sanders on whether his refusal to exit the race was a sexist act hindering the first potential female president.

### 5. Norman Solomon, Hillary Clinton Foreign Policy Critique (12:39–16:20)

Bernie Sanders delegate Norman Solomon appeared on Democracy Now to critique Hillary Clinton’s record on foreign intervention and welfare reform. Solomon argues that Clinton’s policies in the Middle East and North Africa align with "neocon" ideologies, often rebranded as "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P). He characterizes the media's early declaration of her victory as a form of de facto voter suppression.

### 6. Associated Press, Media Manipulation and CIA Influence (16:20–20:04)

The structure of the Associated Press is examined as a "club of newspapers" that often lacks original reporting and serves as a tool for narrative manipulation. Reference is made to Carl Bernstein’s work regarding CIA influence in the media, specifically citing recent CBS coverage of CIA Director John Brennan. The hosts argue that news organizations are more interested in the "coolness" of a female president than investigating political corruption.

### 12. Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party Border Strategy (35:32–39:36)

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is criticized for his unconventional media strategy, which included kissing a camera during an interview. Johnson argued for a "moving line" of work visas to manage the border and claimed that illegal immigrants statistically commit less crime than U.S. citizens. The hosts express skepticism toward Johnson’s performance and his ability to challenge the two-party system.

### 13. George Stephanopoulos, Second Amendment and Heller Decision (39:36–42:12)

Hillary Clinton refused to give a direct "yes" or "no" answer to George Stephanopoulos regarding whether the individual right to bear arms is a constitutional right. She argued that the late Justice Scalia’s Heller decision was a departure from historical "nuanced" readings of the amendment. Clinton maintained that any constitutional right is subject to "reasonable regulations" supported by a majority of Americans.

### 14. Katie Couric, Under the Gun Documentary Manipulation (42:12–46:44)

Katie Couric and the director of the documentary "Under the Gun" are accused of deceptive editing after a raw audio recording proved they inserted eight seconds of silence to make gun rights advocates appear stumped. While "Morning Joe" and Chuck Todd discussed the controversy, the hosts point out that none of the pundits had actually watched the full clip. This is cited as a prime example of mainstream media "scrubbing" and bias.

### 15. Keith Ellison, Media Dismissal of Trump Momentum (46:45–50:47)

A clip from 2015 shows Congressman Keith Ellison warning George Stephanopoulos that Donald Trump had significant momentum, which was met with open laughter from the media panel. The hosts use this to illustrate how out of touch the mainstream media is with the American public. An additional anecdote describes an MSNBC cameraman swearing on a hot mic, reflecting internal disdain within news organizations.

### 16. State Department, Iran Deal Transcript Scrubbing (50:48–57:39)

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest faced questioning from reporter Byron Tao regarding a scrubbed transcript where Earnest appeared to say "No Kevin" in response to whether officials lied about the Iran deal. The White House claimed the omission was due to "crosstalk" making the audio inaudible. Earnest eventually pivoted to an "affirmative" statement, claiming the administration made a "fact-based case" rather than directly denying the lie.

### 17. James Rosen, White House Press Briefing Confrontation (57:39–1:01:49)

Fox News reporter James Rosen confronted Josh Earnest over the refusal to amend the May 9th briefing transcript despite clear video evidence of his response.

### 18. FOIA Requests, Hillary Clinton TPP Emails (1:01:50–1:06:09)

The State Department is delaying the release of Hillary Clinton’s emails regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) until after the November election. A clerical error in a court filing suggested a release date of "November 31st," a date that does not exist. The hosts speculate the delay is intended to prevent the emails from influencing the upcoming Brexit vote in the United Kingdom.

### 19. Brexit Referendum, City of London Financial Sector (1:06:10–1:11:06)

The UK government extended the voter registration deadline for the Brexit referendum following a website crash, which some interpret as a move to help the "Remain" campaign. The City of London, a sovereign financial enclave, is reportedly nervous about the impact of a "Leave" vote on mergers, acquisitions, and the status of EU workers. The hosts argue that global banking interests will work to ensure Brexit does not happen.

### 20. State Department, 75-Year Timeline for Email Release (1:11:06–1:18:01)

In response to a lawsuit by the RNC, the State Department argued in court that it would take 75 years to fully process and redact 1.5 million pages of emails from Hillary Clinton’s top aides. The department claims it can only process 500 pages per month due to the complexity of the documents. This is characterized by the hosts as a deliberate "unreasonable burden" defense to avoid public disclosure.

Executive Producer Shana Alaka shares an exchange with Edward Snowden on Twitter regarding the 2013 grounding of Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane. While Snowden propagated a report that France took the blame, Alaka provided audio links of tower communications to refute the "forcing down" narrative. The hosts discuss why Snowden might continue to support certain narratives while living in Russia.

### 23. Presidential Pardons, Hillary Clinton and the Brazil Coup (1:28:36–1:32:06)

A discussion on the power of presidential pardons suggests that Hillary Clinton’s potential vice-presidential pick would be expected to pardon her family if she were indicted. This is linked to the political situation in Brazil, where President Dilma Rousseff was ousted in what some call a coup to obstruct corruption investigations. The hosts suggest Clinton is following a similar "checklist" to secure power despite legal vulnerabilities.

### 24. Elizabeth Warren, Potential Double Female Ticket (1:32:06–1:38:14)

Speculation rises regarding Elizabeth Warren as a potential vice-presidential running mate for Hillary Clinton to capture the "Bernie Sanders wing" of the party. The hosts debate whether a double female ticket would appeal to millennial women who currently support Sanders. One host admits to voting for Sanders in the primary as an independent to "balance the show" against perceptions of being pro-Trump.

### 25. Scott Adams, Endorsement of Hillary Clinton for Safety (1:38:14–1:41:53)

"Dilbert" creator Scott Adams announced a "sincere" endorsement of Hillary Clinton, claiming he fears for his personal safety from her supporters if he were seen as pro-Trump. Meanwhile, actress Susan Sarandon has faced intense backlash on Twitter for refusing to support Clinton, with critics labeling her "dangerous." The hosts discuss the increasingly hostile environment for public figures who deviate from the pro-Clinton narrative.

### 26. Cincinnati Zoo Gorilla, Stanford Rape Case Trends (1:41:53–1:45:45)

The hosts identify a media trend of shifting blame onto parents in high-profile news stories, such as the killing of a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo and the Brock Turner sexual assault case at Stanford. They argue that the public conversation focuses more on "privilege" and "bad parenting" than on underlying issues like school drinking culture. This trend is viewed as a way to manipulate social media users into "echo chamber" outrage.

### 27. Social Media Sickness, Echo Chambers and Outrage (1:45:45–1:51:02)

The segment critiques the "sickness" of engaging in endless political arguments on Facebook and Twitter, which the hosts claim has zero real-world influence. They note that even "No Agenda" fans have fallen into this trap, leading to lost listenership and income for the show. The hosts reiterate that their goal is to deconstruct media manipulation, not to promote specific candidates like Donald Trump.

### 28. Brooklyn Pool, Gender Discrimination and Hasidic Customs (1:51:03–1:54:03)

The New York City Parks Department is reviewing its policy of allowing women-only swimming hours at a Brooklyn pool after the Commission on Human Rights labeled it discriminatory against men. The Hasidic community in Williamsburg argues the hours are necessary for religious modesty. The hosts compare this to "Ladies' Nights" at bars, which they have long argued are a form of accepted gender discrimination.

A list of "crazy demands" from college students in 2016 includes Yale activists wanting to purge the English department of "white male poets" and Mizzou students requesting "spaces of healing" that exclude white allies. Other examples include Oberlin students complaining about the quality of General Tso's chicken and Western Washington University students wanting to replace the word "history" with "HX-tory" to remove patriarchal implications.

### 30. Trash Inspections, US-China Economic Dialogue (2:01:45–2:04:12)

In Brooklyn, city employees are reportedly opening residential trash bags to search for recyclables and issue fines, a practice also noted in Berkeley. Meanwhile, US and Chinese officials concluded an economic dialogue in Beijing where China promised to rein in steel production. The hosts note that significant shifts in international investment rules are being ignored by the media in favor of sensationalist local stories.

### 31. Operation Anaconda 16, NATO War Games in Poland (2:04:12–2:11:44)

Poland has launched "Operation Anaconda 16," the largest military exercise since the Cold War, involving tens of thousands of NATO troops. Professor Stephen Cohen compares the current buildup on Russia's western border to the Cuban Missile Crisis, noting that Russia views these "war games" as a direct existential threat. The buildup includes anti-missile installations in Romania and Poland, which Vladimir Putin has stated are now in the "crosshairs" of Russian missiles.

### 32. Victoria Nuland, Persistent Rotational Military Presence (2:11:45–2:18:40)

Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regarding the need to "strengthen deterrence" against Russia. She used the term "persistent rotational military presence" to describe NATO forces on the Russian border, a phrasing designed to bypass the 1997 agreement against permanent basing. The hosts argue this $3.4 billion initiative is a "money wagon" for the American military-industrial complex.

### 33. Minsk Agreements, Ukraine Security Assistance (2:18:40–2:23:08)

The U.S. has committed over $600 million in "security assistance" to Ukraine, including counter-mortar radars and secure radios. A reminder is given of Nuland’s infamous "fuck the EU" leaked phone call, highlighting her role in engineering the Ukrainian government.

### 35. Moore's Law, Power Consumption and Tech Standstill (2:29:59–2:34:46)

Professor Trevor Mudge of the University of Michigan explains that Moore's Law is effectively broken because doubling transistors every 18 months is no longer cost-effective. This "technological wall" is cited as the reason for the lack of revolutionary new products from companies like Apple. The industry has shifted focus toward reducing power consumption rather than increasing raw processing power, as seen in the limited capabilities of the Apple Watch.

A humorous aside explores a theory inspired by David Icke regarding "lizard people" pushing the consumption of insects. An advertisement for "Big Cricket Farms" on a job site is presented as evidence that the elite are promoting alternative protein sources to create a larger food selection for themselves.

They analyze the "walk" of the contestants, describing a specific swaying motion used to create the illusion of a waist.
