1687 - "Authentified"

Line up boys for your free vasectomies. Adam curry. John C Dvorak, Sunday,

August 18. 2024 this is your award winning. Keep our nation media assassination. Episode 1687,

this is no agenda. Stop

texting me and start broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region. Number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry

from Northern Silicon Valley, where I just got back from a fabulous Mallard club meetup. I'm John C Dvorak. It's

Greg botton Buzzkill. In the morning,

I am so sick of these political text messages, and I made a mistake weeks ago. It always says, type, stop. You

know you're mocking me for having a landline and my cell phone in the drawer. I

never mock you for that. I never mock you for that. I think you're awesome for that,

and I don't have this issue well. So the worst Hold on. One more thing, you know, for my texting, I use Google Voice Yes,

yeah, on the web browser, I presume Yeah,

but that's what I do. I use a web browser so well,

let me just explain what's happening. Well,

I just want to mention that I never get these. Why don't? Why don't I get this on Google?

Because they know that you're a loser. They're not interested in you. Not interested if you do that stuff. No, they don't care. I don't care. No. So if you have a regular, regular phone number, and somehow there's a cell phone we're talking about, yeah, and so I get in the database. And this, this happens every four years, but this year has been particularly bad, and it's high. It's Donald Trump, hi, it's Donald Trump Jr, hi. It's Ted Cruz, hi. It's Tulsi Gabbard. I

you did when you type stop, was confirm that you're not just a dead number correct.

And that was months ago, yeah. And it's just ongoing, urgent, urgent

Democrat thing too. Well,

I used to get the Democrat stuff, I guess they determined me to be dead. But it's out of control. And it's from. It's not like from a, you know, one of those short code numbers, it's from. Oh, and here's a pig butcher. Hi. I'm Anna. I'd like to discuss a potential job opportunity with you. Would you be interested in receiving more information? Diana,

you know pig butcher? Yeah, we talked about pig dirt soliciting, pig butchers. John,

don't pretend you don't remember what pig butchering is. We went through this. We even got one of them on the air. The Pig butcher is these starts with a text message, something like Anna there, or, Hey, I have this number, but I can't remember who this is, or want to go play tennis. And, and then you answer pickleball, by the way, and, yeah, and, and then they, you know, they, it's a long game. You remember, they had like, 1000 of these people in Northern

in the Philippines. But, yeah, no, no,

no, it was. It was a big thing. It was, it was in, in time should be stopped, by the way. Well, Elizabeth Warren promised she would stop that, and she lied. Yeah,

she's and that was 10 years ago. Now,

I'm sure you heard about that 2.9 billion records hack. You heard about it, right? Yeah, so we obviously ignored that because, like, okay, whatever. But someone actually, sir, by His grace, he emailed me said, Are you purposely ignoring this story? And I was like, Well, I don't like those insinuations. I know if he meant it that way. No, that's what he meant, but it stayed in the back of my mind. And an NBC version of the story came by, and then, and it's like a double whammy.

Fears a massive data breach may have impacted billions of people across the globe, according to a new class action lawsuit, which means so. Security numbers and other sensitive information could now be up for sale on the dark web. Dark Web, a company called Jericho pictures, which operates as national public data, is a Florida based background check company. NPD takes data from public record databases,

immediately I know what's going on here. This is one of these. I would call it a microservices company that provides these horrible websites with your address, you know, and I've been to several that you're like, Oh, come on, man, you've got all the same and they all get it from the same data source, and so. And I'm like, okay, so this is it even says you can, you can literally subscribe to it. Oh, big hack.

According to the lawsuit, in April of this year, a hacking group called us DoD breached NPD systems and stole private information. The suit goes on to say in a post on the dark web on April 8, US DoD claim they stole 2.9 billion records of personal data,

and by the way, so obviously it's not going to be all social security numbers, because there's not 2.9 billion Americans. But what do they mean by records? Is that each line is a record, so it's already very specious in

records of personal data, and we're trying to sell them for $3.5 million that's nothing that personal data includes names, address, histories, relatives and social security numbers. In a statement on their website, MPD acknowledges the breach and says we cooperated with law enforcement and governmental investigators and have implemented additional security measures. We reached out to MPD,

okay, so there we go. There's the gimmick. That's what

I thought and, and, you know, obviously this is of no value. That's why, you know someone posted it for free. Oh, okay, so all by the

way, I consider it a great compliment by you to me for using the word specious. Oh, I heard you would never use her entire life if it wasn't for me. I

heard you chuckle.

I heard you chuckle. We're using it.

I have, I have used it in normal parlance as well. And people go, great. Word specious is a good word. And then people go, Oh, I don't think I should argue with him. He used a word that I barely understand. Okay, so I thought, Yes, this is opt out services. But then it takes a twist. They bring in influencers. This year

has just been the year of the hackers, but people on social media still panicking, biggest data breach possibly in human history, as many fear their private data is up for sale. So

okay, why are they bringing in influencers who usually get paid to talk about anything, and the payoff comes in the final clip, as they bring in a cybersecurity expert who is an obvious government shill because he himself was involved in the OPM hack. Do you recall the OPM hack?

I'm sorry to say that I don't, but I if you remind me, I'm sure I will. This

was the database of government employees that got housed, right? And it was a big problem.

It was that was a big deal. Yes, that was a big deal. So the

fact that this guy was in that data breach means that he's a government chill and listen to what he has to sell for on this concern. Remember, this is NBC, not some local yokel.

More on this concerning data breach and what it means for you. I want to bring in cyber security expert David Kennedy. This is a background check checking company that basically looks at, you know, making sure you don't have a record if you go to a job employment. But they have access to all of these national databases that can pull information on any US citizen. And there's hundreds, if not 1000s, of these organizations,

that's what it's all about. There's a federal class action lawsuit against this company, which, I don't know what that means exactly, a federal class action lawsuit,

but What? What? Yeah, yeah. This makes no sense. Yeah. It's

they literally, I didn't have it in the clip, literally called a federal class action lawsuit. So I guarantee you that we are going to see someone who has been you know, is some through some lobbying firm, no doubt, is going to be touting that we need to upgrade this outdated, antiquated system of using social security numbers as a way to identify yourself.

It's obvious. What do they you have? You looked into this, whether you propose, well, they

haven't pronoun. It's coming this. They're just getting started. That's why they

it doesn't make sense. Whether you need to use a bigger number,

no, they're going to give us digital ID from the government. And how

come that can't be stolen? Of course, it can.

It's easy. The whole thing is bull crap. No, no, this is a government move. It's a government move. It's obvious. I mean, you hear what the guy says, Oh, this is antiquated. We should be doing something else. Of course, they've been wanting this. They want this. They want us all to have some kind of newfangled government ID, just like Australia launched. They're doing it now. This is, this is

unavoidable, Real ID in a sheep's clothing.

Correct, correct. That's exactly what it is, Real ID. But then digital. They want to be digital. And they want to tie your vaccinations you

want to make it digital? Ai,

they might, they might. So once I, once I saw that guy come in, I'm like, oh, okay, I get it. I get it. Everyone's running off to the to freeze their credit. Believe me, I hear ice. Oh, I am all the ladies are going nuts on the text groups. Oh,

there was, there's a commercial on TV that actually exploits this, this fear. Crocker, stop my stop my credit card. Oh, there I found, I found my card. It was in my purse. Oh, Crocker, turned back on. Turn it back on. Have you seen this commercial? No,

I haven't. I haven't. Yeah,

well,

the OP, I mean, the opt out service is just a temporary thing, I mean, and that's exactly the point. Is, all of our information is out in these databases. It's amazing what they have on me, everything, every you know, and the minute you buy a house, unless you and I, I should have been smart and put it into a, you know, what is it? It's like as a term for it, not a you can put it in escrow, not escrow, some other term this goes where you just hold the money. No, you

the thing is, these database, because I look at these things all the time, a trust, that's right, trust, thank you. Yeah, you can do a Trust's opinion, yes. So you look at these things, you look at these things, and it's like you look yourself up and these, they're these things are they cross their cross referencing issues are really problematic.

Oklahoma, and he was also a pilot. And this was 2006 I think so it wasn't that long. After 911 I lit, I remember the one time because it happened five, six times in a row, and I recorded it once. Yeah, and, well, the time I remember most is when, because, of course, this was me video days pod show. So I flew virgin upper class, which was great. I mean, Richard Branson man, he gave me bathrobes for Christmas. Those

yes, we did. We complained endlessly on the show. I think somebody finally heard it, yeah? And

they ended it. They ended, they ended the terror. Yeah. It was a

Yeah. It was ridiculous. Actually, it was Yeah. But if you look at your own databases, and sometimes some people have gotten somehow you can manage to, most of these guys will, will kind of cloak your stuff, your information, if you, if you tell them to, they they have to, I think they do. So they will. They'll take a lot of this information offline, but there's too many. There's all these different companies doing this. Yeah, and you start looking at it, you start

your number.

I said, That's not my number. Where do I where am I supposed to be living? He says, You're you're in Kansas City. I said, I'm in all I'm in Albany, California right now. He says, oh, and because I know there's a writer, this is funny. There's a writer named John Dvorak that wrote for the Kansas City Star in Kansas City, obviously, the IRS taxes, by the way, this should not be public information, but I guess it is now that I mentioned it. And so I said, No, no, no, I'm the you

you know, John, if we just had government ID, none of this would happen anymore. You'd be safe. You'd be safe. Yeah.

Well, I have, we have, actually, for this show, and personally, we have other numbers that we use for the IRS. Yeah, we're running numbers. We don't use our social security numbers anymore because of we actually had an issue. Mimi had a problem with somebody filing associate a tax return with our numbers and then getting a bunch of money. Now we have to literally hand associate our tax filing. You don't have to do

it's been a year,

and it's like, it's, this is the problem that everyone because of this nonsense. Yeah,

if only we had some kind of digital

anything. And you know it, and I know it, you have to have a secret number that nobody knows, but it

will give them so much more to connect to it. You see, that's the point that and, and I'm sure it's Palantir or some other company, it's going to surface. Just keep everybody, keep your eyes open. There's going to be some company and some Congress critter is going to say, Hey, I propose a bill, and it will be, and it probably going to be Elizabeth Warren, that'll be Senator, but that

would be ironic. No, not at all. She can't do anything. What happened to Rachel? I mean, okay, Rachel's gone. I guess she got rid of her. No, listen,

Warren will say, I've been on this for 10 years. No one has done anything about it. I have the final solution now. It'll be Bose on one of her other benefactors, some tech company is going to That's funny. It was Bose last time with the hearing aids.

Yeah, Bose. Well, do you know the problem with Bose? I will say, Oh, here we

go. Here we go. Bose.

Bose is litigious. Oh, are they know, yeah, they're very and so there's something when you're a writer in working in especially trade magazines,

bad Bo's, rocks, okay, gone.

You would be you, you there was a company. There's a computer company. I can't remember the name of them, but everybody knew that you would never they would just never get mentioned. What happens? You just stop mentioning him as a player. Uh, they're just they are blackballed, blacklisted Bose. And you blacklist companies if you're a writer writing about a product, oh, you blacklist price, and Bose is one of them, because Bose sued is very well known. And once this

901 I'm looking at it. There's an actual wiki page about it, the Bose one the review expressed skepticism of the system's quality and recommended that consumers delay purchase until they had investigated for themselves whether the loudspeaker systems unusual attributes would suit them.

Yeah, they were a I had given, been given a demo of that I thought they sounded good, personally, and but they did have a they had a kind of they didn't have a sound stage that was easily defined for people who are audio files. You know what I'm talking about, where, you know where the saxophone is right there. You know exactly where it is that stuff would be floating around a little bit. And so Bo sued him. And once they did that, they got blacklisted by everybody who

no I will say their noise canceling aviation headsets are pretty much standard now. That they are by far the best

that could be. Everybody sure they're, they're, they're probably regretful that whoever the attorney was that, because Consumer Reports is nuts.

That's dumb. That's very dumb, especially

over something that you just read, which is just minor. It's a minor complaint, yeah, basically it was, yeah, check this out before you buy it.

Oh God. And I remember back in the day when we had our stereo towers, yeah, remember those stereo towers?

I still have a pair. Oh, my,

oh my individual rack elements, Bose. You know, if you had Bose speakers, it was, I mean, it wasn't quite B and O, but, oh, you got Bose speakers. Oh, it's got to be good. I wonder. I wonder if they really lost a lot of market share.

I think they did. They just it was a bad idea. Don't people out there in manufacturing or doing product, do not be very careful about suing reviewers, especially, you will never be reviewed again, ever. Consumer Reports, which is Consumer Reports, of all of them, they, you know, Consumer Reports doesn't. They're not. They don't, you know, they don't review everything. So there's a lot of comparison reviews that they could do. But when they're as honest as they can be. I'm

going to move to another scam, another government scam. They keep ramping it up, and it's just funny to listen to Doctor

John. I did want to ask about a breaking development we're following. The World Health Organization has declared the current M pox outbreak in Africa a global health emergency. Sweden had the first reported case of the strain outside of Africa. And pox outbreak

an MPEG, she said, an MPEG outbreak. We didn't MPEG outbreak.

We added an impact. Took place about 20 years ago.

God, we had an impact pox outbreak here in the US, not long ago. So how concerned should we be about this resurgence, and at this point, it's going to be rare outside of that area there, although today, we were just notified that Sweden has their first case of M pox, and it's this clay one variant they're talking about, it tends to be more contagious and more dangerous is from somebody who had gone to Africa, gotten it

just a reminder to everybody, when we have this in 2022 It was only men who have sex with men. It wasn't gay men. It was men who have sex with men. That was it was baffling. And men who have sex with men stood in line for hours to get their M pox vaccine. Remind us again what this is. Doctor John. People hear

this and they go, Oh, covid. Can you just remind us what M pox is, what it entails, and pox is a virus is very closely related to smallpox and the chickenpox, and so it's very contagious, and unfortunately, this case, it can be deadly as well. Symptoms right there, the biggest ones are the rash they get, which looks like a chickenpox rash, and those swollen lymph nodes. When they get to that stage, that's when they're infectious as a contact infection. So if you touch them or touch

So it's interesting, because this doesn't really have the hallmarks. And what was great about covid is you couldn't see if someone had it.

That was the best Yeah, asymptomatic transmission. Asymptomatic transmission, which is bull crap, but that's what it was, yeah.

So, so it's nowhere near it, but I can see where a lot of people the mask wears in the cars, they'll be, oh, monkey pox, don't touch me. Stay away.

Monkeypox, you go to the voting machine and you do touch the voting machine, you'll pass it on. You don't want that. You want to mail in voting. Mail in voting. Yeah,

here's a professor in London.

It is inevitable that this strain of this new strain of M parks,

it's a new strain of impact. It's a Claude one that started off in, sorry, the clade one. It's not Claude, but clade balls

and parks that started off in 2024, from the Democratic Republic of Congo from the

Democratic Party. I thought she was going to say, wouldn't that have been funny? That's exactly right.

In 2024 from the Democratic Republic of Congo. But it's now spread to at least nine neighboring countries. Will come to the UK because of international time. That doesn't mean it will spread widely within the

Why tell us? Well, just listen, it's almost done, because

in the UK, we have the ability to diagnose and do contact tracing and also to provide vaccination to people who've been exposed.

Okay, so we're hearing the same things that we like with our pandemics, contact tracing, testing, by the way, the test for mpox is PCR, so everybody has it, the

declaration of a public health emergency of international concern is helpful because it allows the vaccine to be emergency licensed in those countries. Oh,

it's helpful if you have one of those W who major concern classifications, because then you can do vaccines under emergency use authorization, no testing of the vaccine needed.

And there has been some promises of donations from stockpiles, both in Europe and the US,

donations of mpox. Now vaccines

now on German television, German television. Dr Wolfgang vorda came out. EB said, and it's available in German. Obviously. He said, This is nonsense. This is I'll translate on the fly. This is so absurd, even that doctors would parrot this information and let themselves be fooled, because when there are local boils on the body with these monkey pox, they come with strong pain. Well, my God, isn't that typical of shingles as well diagnosing they should at least ask

Well, I do have one more anecdote. So a friend of mine and his wife, famous guy and his wife live up the hill. Both went and got the shingles.

Her name's Jack, and Jill

went up the hill. She both got the shingles vaccine. And she, within days, got shingles course. And so I was over visiting, and then she shows she showed it. She got this huge rash, I have painful rash on her arm, and it's like it looks like hell. And I said, you just what? Yeah, we just got the vaccine. We just got vaccinated because the doctor chose we should get shingle, which I've been told to oh, you should get shingles vaccine. No, oh, yeah. They're telling

But if you look at some of the pictures online, they show now, remember, autoimmune blistering disease was on the Pfizer list of adverse events of special interest for their mRNA vaccine. No, that was in the Pfizer documents. Remember the ones they wanted to lock down for 72 years? 75

Yes, 70 years. No, there's no reason anyone should look at this.

So it's very possible. And you know, now we're a couple of years into it, and I mean, we're seeing all kinds of amazing things, like prostate cancer, particularly in younger people. More young people have the cancer than older people now. And I'm not trying to scare anybody, but for sure, don't get suckered into some mpox vaccine. And shingle sucks, but it's, it's survivable, you know, I don't know. I, you know, they have very small numbers of of kids in

we can't figure out this. All of a sudden, there's athletes dying on the field. We can't, well, that's always been going on, yeah, yeah. We

can't figure it being reported more, yeah. We can't figure it out. And now this, and to me, it looks like shingles. I've seen shingles, and shingle shows up in different ways, but it's all these very painful blisters, and the last thing you want to do is scratch it. You know, it just gets

worse. Because what makes it makes my butt hurt thinking about it,

you know, there's your opening right there. Makes my butt hurt thinking about that's not gonna be acceptable. I'm still isoing it for prosperity. Yeah,

prosperity,

I glad you caught that, but I would hate to think that they are lying to us about this being a side effect, which was listed in the documentation.

That's an interesting I forgot about, that could be listed in the in the documentation. Yeah,

all right, I'll just get us started with some very obvious media simple, simple media deconstruction, very, very simple. And why is it simple? Well, it's simple because the media lies, and is certainly in the United States, but I think in general, most media comes from a Marxist propagandistic background, even Fox News. Let's listen. Let's not kid ourselves

my plan, more than 100 million Americans will get a tax cut, the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit. How? Through which millions of Americans with children got to keep more of their hard earned income. We know it works, so as President, I'll not only restore that tax cut, but expand it. We will provide $6,000 in tax relief to families during the first year of a child's life, that is a vital, vital year of critical development of a child, and the cost can really add up,

So yeah, there is already a child tax credits. I believe it's $3,500 for the first year, $2,500 subsequent years. This is, of course, exactly what JD Vance proposed. He proposed $5,000 for the first year. And if you recall what they said right away is he wants to punish people who don't want to have children. And it was it was Molly Jung fast and in Louisiana, the Daily Advertiser reports that the United States birth rate is down as fewer adults want to have kids. I

again emphasizes why JD Vance's comments about childless Americans, childless cat ladies could be so politically damaging. Well. So what's interesting is this, is this natalism That comes from an authoritarian playbook, right? That there, there need to be more white children,

right? So, so when JD Vance proposes it, it's more white children. Yeah, it's natalism, natalism. So there's your phony baloney. Media.

It's unbelievable. Well, if

we hadn't been doing this for almost 17 years, maybe, but for us, it's like, oh, that's believable. Oh, there it is. Actually have, let's just stick on this Harris economic plan for a moment. I have a couple clips

tonight. Vice President Kamala Harris in her first major policy speech casting herself as a champion of the middle class. Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. The

NASDAQ, the nasality. Is that a word,

very hard. It's just adenoidal. Yes, of

my presidency. Harris acknowledging that even as inflation slows, middle class families are still feeling the pinch. The vice president, she's been there pinch,

a pinch, the pinch. No, it's a slap. Later

in college, I worked at McDonald's to earn spending money. Uh huh, well, some of the people I worked with were raising families on that paycheck. I

would love to meet some of these people that you work with at McDonald's during your college. Was that in Ottawa? Was that in Canada? Where did she go to college? No, no, that's right. Now she went. She was capital okay now, she went to college at the historically backed black university. They

worked second or even third jobs to pay rent and buy food. That only gets harder when the cost of living goes up. HARRIS zeroing in on pocketbook issues, proposing a ban on corporate price gouging on food and groceries.

What a what a beautiful gift to the Republicans. I mean, it's as if, if I didn't know any better, and maybe I do, this is planned like, let's just bring in price controls. Every political historian in America knows that it works. Every historian

of world power knows that it works. You said, knows that it works, that

it doesn't work. I'm sorry, knows it doesn't work. Every world historian knows that this is the definition of socialist price fixing, and it's it usually results in food lines and less choice if any food are on the show, because you're not

going to make a product that that loses money by government edict. So you stop making the product,

making this, and stop putting it on shelves, up to $25,000

in down payment support for first time homeowners, a tax credit of up to $6,000 for families with the newborn, and capping the cost of insulin at $35 in out of pocket expenses for prescription drugs at 2000

it was really interesting to see the Washington thing. The Washington Post opinion Harris's economic plan is full of gimmicks that don't make sense. Like, whoa, did Obama put in a call or something? And, and you look at it, and it's like, you know, they're kind of like, oh well, you know, yeah, the president opted for blaming big business, and she vowed to go after price gouging. But it was so interesting that the Washington Post is even crazier than

the first thing I thought when they when she suggested 25,000 that well, there goes a yes, real estate is going up.

That's that's just like when, when Tesla got the seven and a half $1,000 incentive, everyone just put seven and a half $1,000 on top of the Tesla price. That's exactly what happens. Yes, what you do. But then they go on such a measure might make sense of Miss Harris paid for it, but Ms interesting, isn't she married to Doug? Ms Harris paid for by eliminating other demand side housing subsidies, such as mortgage interest deduction. Are they insane? At the Washington Post?

Read that again. I don't know what they said. Such

a measure the $25,000 down payment might make sense if Ms Harris paid for by eliminating other demand side housing subsidies such as the mortgage interest deduction. Oh, my God, you're right, roughly $30 billion annual drain on federal revenue that benefits.

Yeah, go for that and see how that gets your votes, of

course. So I don't understand. What the Washington Post is thinking here?

Well, there that that is a communist statement, correct? It's

the one thing that actually makes, uh, buying a home kind of affordable, even though Trump capped it at, what is it, 10,000

Yeah, he kept it at 10, which was every Well, as you know, on our show, we had the our our famous accountant, to the to the rich and famous,

yes, the anonymous gay accountant, yeah, he, uh,

pointed out that. And I'll remind everyone that when they're always these, these rich guys are all hearing about what the Democrats were saying, which, oh, there's a tax cuts for the rich. And then when they got their tax bill, which went way up, yeah, if you many of them million

dollar, you know, $5 million mortgage,

because they have these, these, because they capped the mortgage at $10,000 the write off at $10,000 and it hurt, it hurt the rich. The rich weren't benefiting from the Trump tax cuts at all because of this one little trick that he pulled where so the whole idea that the rich are benefiting from Trump's tax cuts is a blatant lie. Oh, I was

going to say specious.

No, no, the difference being specious and a blatant lie.

What they really what somebody really should go after, but they're all too afraid, is insurance companies Hone owner insurance, I think ours went up 35% and that's, that hurts. That's

a gouge.

It's Oh, it's because of climate change. John, they literally say, oh, no, I'm sorry. It's because of climate change. And if you want to switch to another, cheaper insurance, you'll never get insured after that again.

Yes, as and now you have another story. It's I told this. I have told this story probably twice on the show when I was taking driver's education so I can get out of a ticket. You know

the three hour class,

the three hour class. So I took this class in Chinatown, Oakland, because it was the cheapest. And this guy was given to see who had never talked about driver safe. He was, he was lecturing us about the sleazeball insurance companies. Yeah, and he's mentioned the fact that there's a database that all insurance companies use. And if you start swapping from one company to the next to the next, after you do it like you just share done, you do it once, okay, you can do it

Wow, I don't remember that story. He

was under arrest. Rest, that's great. And they close the class and send us our money back. Wow, I never found out what they arrested him for,

probably hitting up on some cheekies.

He wasn't hitting up on anybody. The whole thing was very suspicious. Here's the

second part of this ABC report

tonight. Many questions remain about how Harris would get her plan through Congress and how it would be paid for. But in North Carolina, the Vice President focused on drawing a contrast with Donald Trump. He plans to give billionaires massive tax cuts year after year. You know, I think that if you want to know who someone cares about, look who they fight for. And she attacked Trump's proposal for tariffs on all imports.

Just stop for a second again. I don't I didn't notice it because I don't have a lot of Harris clips, but her adenoidal that, which is kind of a California accent, I think somebody describing was as a Berkeley accent, that

she's not humming, she's not humming, she's not humming. No, she's

not a Berkeley Hummer. That's different than this accent she has. This is more typical. It is a nasally deviated knowing and when you because when you watch her on TV, it's not as noticeable as when you're playing these clips. When you're playing these clips that ought just pure audio. It's unacceptable.

Yes, unacceptable.

So I think you'll see how anyone can listen to her voice and vote for well, just that alone, just as

a political consultant from the courage of our consulting group, I would say the entire idea here is not about truth, but about connecting tax to Trump alliteration, tax, Trump tax, a Trump tax, a Trump tax. And of course, it's ridiculous to say that it's going to be a Trump tax on gas, because that's the one thing we know that will definitely go. Down. So this is so bad that now people are calling her kamu law, as in communists, which is very funny.

what does the poll tell you about the different ways that Harris and Trump are talking about the economy, which, of course, is the issue Americans say they care about the most.

Okay, so it is a comparison between Trump and Harris on the economy. That's what Americans care about most. Come on in polling, kid, yeah,

economy, economy, economy. So this is rather interesting. All right. So this is the Harris versus Trump margin in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina. Look at this. Donald Trump holds an advantage in who voters trust more on the economy. Look at that. He leads Harris by 12 points. But interestingly enough, this is a question that I really don't think pollsters asked nearly enough. Which is, who cares about people more? Like you look at this, Harris

Do you see what they did? So they have two boxes. One has Trump's head, plus five plus 12 for Trump on the economy and play and Kamala leads Trump by five points on what people people think that she'll care more about people like me, which has nothing to do with the economy. It was, it's I've never seen any witch or rude. I've never seen anything more dystopian 1980 fours than this. But

interestingly enough, this is a question that I really don't think pollsters ask nearly enough, which is, who cares about people more like you? Look at this, Harris holds a five point advantage on that. You go back to 2012 Mitt Romney won on the economy, but Barack Obama won that election because he won on this question. Cares about people like you. And Harris right now is leading on this, less of a lead than Trump has on

cares about people like you. That must mean black people or people of so called color. What else could it mean? Does it mean people who were attorney generals, people who slept with Willie Brown, people who you know were Senators. What does it mean? Women, no people who care about people like me. It's racist, is what it is.

It's totally racist. Yeah, uh huh, you're seeing, you know, I don't you know, CNN is lost. It's a lost cause.

They're all lost, John and be happy they're still here. It's the only reason we still have a gig. So then final, I think this is final for me. This 2019 clip popped up, and I just wanted to deconstruct it a little bit, because there is something interesting that no one really went bothered to go into.

I will snatch their patent, so that we will take over. And yes, we can do that. Yes, yes, we can do that. Yes, we can do that. It's the question is, do you have the will to do it? I have the will to do it.

So here she is talking about, this

is a great clip, by the way, and you have to, kind of, I had to listen to it two or three times to hear it. Yeah. So she's, she says, snatch your patent. Yes, they

will snatch their patent. And of course, the the comments on X are, you know how patent law works, baby. Well, December 7 of 2023 the Biden administration announced a new policy called march in rights. It has not been used yet march in rights that will allow it to seize patents for medicines developed with government funding if it believes their prices are too high. The policy sets a roadmap for government, so called march in rights which have never been used before.

this is actually not an a completely unprecedented situation. Oh, dude, it's been written about, talked about before the CIA and the intelligence state has been snatching patents for years, really, yes, they do it because it's national security. If you, if you come up with, like, a new weapon that is a, that's just some sort of crazy thing, and you, you try to patent it, you'll, you'll have the patent pulled. They'll hold it aside. You won't even get paid. Wow. I

Well, this, of course, leads to much fodder for Trump. Kamala went

full communist. You heard that she went full communist. She wants to destroy our country after causing catastrophic inflation, comrade Kamala announced comrade Institute, socialist price controls, you saw that never worked before, never ever worked,

didn't we? I thought we tested that in polling at the at the consulting group, comrade comrade Kamala. I mean, it didn't work, but now it works. She,

I don't think we did.

John, this is what consultants do we lie about what we did? Are you kidding? Oh,

yeah, yeah, we did. This

is the Maduro plan, Venezuela. Maduro plan of like the old Soviet Union. This is they tried it. How did the Soviet Union work out? It became Russia, smaller versions. It was a smaller version. It will cause rationing, hunger and skyrocketing prices, just like their inflation Reduction Act

So he's got that going form, and then this day one, day one. I mean, it's also obvious,

yesterday, Kamala laid out her so called economic plan. She says she's going to lower the cost of food and housing starting on day one. But day one for Kamala was three and a half years ago. So why didn't she do it then? So this is day 1305 we're at 1305 so why isn't she doing it now? I

mean, it's almost like they called each other and said, Hey, listen, get me out of this thing. I'm sick and tired of it. I'm gonna do some communist crap, and then you call me out on it. We're good to go. It'll work, Don it'll work. It's fine. And and he still hasn't figured out our pet, Mame, I mean, this test is

gonna happen. Now it's too late.

This woman is nuts. Look, people say, be nice. Have you heard her laugh? That is the laugh of a crazy person. That is the laugh of a crazy, laugh of a lunatic. Have you heard you know, they prohibited her. They prohibited her for laughing. I've been waiting for her to laugh because as soon as she laughs, the election's over.

I think now, listen to what he's doing. He's putting it in her head, if you laugh like that, which she can't help.

No, it's because and I, yeah, I've got second thoughts about your earlier PBA, or whatever it was called, yeah. PB, diagnosis. PBA, yes, I ever since you brought that back into the conversation, I'm wondering. And of course, we have a, you have a clip coming up that'll go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, do

talked about Cluster B.

I don't remember talking about Cluster B

the right let me just tell you why I know about Cluster B is because of the disaffected podcast by Josh Slocum. And Josh Slocum, this a great podcast. And he talks, and he's, he's gay guy who is completely gone, against the whole he was a Democrat. He's gone. I think he lives in Washington, Washington, and he, he specifically talks about clush to be and it's a medical term. And I didn't know about it until I started listening to his pod. It's a great podcast, by

Well, this play, this is about Kamala and and I didn't know about, I knew about the. The variety of syndromes within Cluster B, because they they're discussed on a borderline, borderline personal borderline personality disorder is one of them, and there's others, and

which is serious, by the way, not making fun of that. It's serious, it's

serious, but it's not a mental illness, that's the thing, yeah, but

you can't you either you decide to live with someone who has border it was a borderliner, or you have to leave them see my second marriage. The

we have a link in the show notes to a discussion of Cluster B. It's a YouTube video. You can check it out. It's very interesting. But here is Jordan Peterson discussing or bringing it up on kill me's weekend show, and it was I just caught my attention with

a huge week ahead, the Democratic National Convention is about to kick off and polls showing, but the Democratic Republican nominee in a virtual dead heat in all the battleground states, the Democratic party seems to be coming to their senses, if we're to believe what they Say, almost echoing what Republicans have been saying for years. We need a stronger border. We need to tackle inflation. We need to essentially abandon the woke initiatives, the green

are we to believe with the debt, by the way, just looking at that blazer makes me cluster be Krauts are saying now that

they're just getting off the wokeness? No, I don't believe so. I think that this is a classic maneuver by what would you say, a group of advisors and maybe the VP herself, who show the pathology associated with what's known as the Cluster B of personality disorders. And I really believe this. And the strategy would be this, the radical leftist, and I

Yeah, it's a manipulative behavior, and that's what's going on with the media. And the fact that Kamala has not done a speech, she won't talk to anybody, she hasn't done that, that crazy laugh, but she has actually, now and again, the whole thing is a giant manipulation, which is a Cluster B, part of the Cluster B, which is a group of erratic disorders. I'll read what they are, the anti social behaviors, one of them borderline personalities, another one, histrionic

a text message from President Trump. Yes, thank you, President Trump. They want me in jail in one month before I'm sentenced by a corrupt Democrat judge. Please read link. Stopped opt out? Yeah, I don't think so. It's and it's in all stop, to opt to stop, to opt out on this number, but we'll send you five more. I swear to God, I'm going to do this just for the show, because I love every because I love my truck, I'm going to do stop, and let's see how long it takes me to get a new message. Stop,

you'll get a new message before the end of the show. I bought quicker

than that. Okay, stop. So I'm alive, signaling that I'm alive, we'll see how long it takes.

It's a, it's a on, I don't know what to say about it. I like I said, That's Jared.

That's jared's Big Red or whatever it is. It's the, it's the counter to. Um, act blue. Act blue. Yeah, it's horrible. It's, and it's, it's, it makes me hate them. It really does. Like, do you think I'm an idiot? I know what that link is. It's a link with chip in I know what it is. I'm not gonna fall for that, but that's what they do every single time. It's annoying, I get what must work? Obviously, it

must work. It must work, or they wouldn't be doing it. They just figured you're gonna annoy one person, but they get a lot of money from others, so, and there's probably a lot of people that aren't you know that they this is like their social interaction. They're getting all these cool messages. Maybe,

yeah, maybe some people like that now they, now they, I did not get a message back saying you're opted out. And I sometimes I think these are just people who have phone numbers and they're just doing this. You know, they just can't, it's not even, it's not even automated system. So President Biden joined ms Harris in Maryland on their on the campaign trail. And I have to say, not Biden. This was daddy

President Kamala Harris standing side by side with President Biden, her first official event together since Biden dropped out of the race. Folks, I'm an incredible partner. The progress we made, she can make one hell of a president Maryland announcing the lowering of prescription drug costs for those using Medicare.

So here's another clip of him, started in January. Now this all of a sudden, he's jacked up. So, I mean, it's very interesting. I don't know if this is jacked up Joe now, or what I believe it to be his daddy, long legs with the mask. Oh, you have successfully unsubscribed. Okay, let's see what happens next, starting

in January of this year, every senior in the United States of America, no matter what their cost of drugs. And like I said, some of these cancer drugs are 12,000 bucks a year. Every single penny they spend. They never have to spend more than $2,000 a year for all drugs. Surprise, surprise, Big Pharma doesn't want this to happen at all. The pharmaceutical industry last year, spent $400 million lobbying to Congress to stop this.

Now, does this sound like the actual Joe Biden to you that we hear in all these interviews? No, I don't think this is jacked up Joe anymore. I think this is a guy who's just got the fumbling and bumbling down, and he doesn't look like him, and the hair in the back is different. I look at hair, it just it's not the same guy. The real Biden may be alive, but I don't think he's on the campaign trail.

Well, the real Biden is going to have to be the gut. Well, maybe this will be the Biden that comes up at the at the DNC. That's what's going to be interesting. Yeah, which Biden we're going to get? Yeah, I would like to see jacked up Joe. Personally,

I'm so afraid that there's just going to be a big poop and it's going to be nothing, and he's not going to do anything weird. I said it, that he's not going to do anything outrageous, just going to be ho hum. You know, that's

probably right. Yeah, I might. My hope is that the protesters, 100,000 strong, storm the place. Well, I

have some updates tonight.

Chicago's guard is already up. Fencing lining the streets. Rose closed off to vehicles, a large protective zone built around the United Center, where vice president Harris is set to accept the Democratic nomination for president, and just like at the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, Secret Service responsible for everything inside that hardened perimeter, local police taking the lead for nearly everything else, is the Chicago Police Department ready for the DNC

So you recall that there was some anger that they weren't allowed to go where they wanted to go the route. And I guess they did some negotiation with the city, and they have reached an agreement.

An agreement was reached Friday between the city of Chicago and a coalition of demonstrators days before the start of the Democratic National Convention, we announce it all the time. We talk about how in the mass movements, power can seize nothing without a demand. The city will allow the coalition to march on the DNC, to use sound equipment set up staging and bring in at least seven portable

Tonight. Kicks off tonight. And then I want to

note a couple of things, please. You noticed, of all they all the reporting is the following, well, we're prepared. Unlike in 1968 we're prepared in 1968 this the so called lack of preparation involved. They didn't have the Secret Service and the FBI. They had the National Guard out. Yes, they had basically the army, plus every cop in Illinois was out. There's this bullcrap that they're going to be more prepared. There's no way the National Guard was guarding this

there. Was fighting inside the the DNC in if you

can keep people, I don't see how they're going to keep Democrats. If you've been to one of the ever been to a convention, there is, there was the public is in there. It's, you know, there's a convention floor, which has all the delegates, but surrounding them are is the general public. You get in the fact that there's going to be protesters inside, right off the bat, because they're going to find their way, and they're going to get a pass. I'm Oh, yeah, no, I'm okay.

President Trump texts me again. New number,

no already,

oh yeah, from Trump, and it says, Adam. I had a minute, so I wrote you a personal letter.

Take,

take a look. Stop to end. There you go. That's how fast it goes.

So that was less than 10 minutes.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, here's Governor Pritzker on his desire to bring the DNC to Chicago, and what he feels about what might be just a few bad apples.

Every time I saw President Biden, I literally would shake his hand and the first thing I'd say to him is, we're going to have the convention in Chicago, right? And he would. Laugh after the third or fourth time Chicago fashion, just promoting the city, you got to keep working.

Did you guru in the troll room says I was there in Grant Park for the 68 DNC convention. The cops were brutal in beating the living daylights use a different word out of anybody that was congregating around there, I had to run for my life to escape the pandemonium at age 18, boots on the ground.

The other thing they have to deal with, which there's they're starting to talk about, is the hotels.

Oh, yeah. Burnham,

this was a problem in 68 too. In fact, I had a headline of front page of the sun times in the last newsletter, which was an epic fail, by the way.

Yeah, no kidding. Thank God for meetups.

Yeah, so the so the there's a fear that they're going to track down the delegates as staying at the various hotels around Chicago, and they're going to raid the hotels, pester them.

Now, that may be thwarted by the latest idea, as DNC attendees, thanks to Planned Parenthood, and I would presume the organizers, uh, will have opportunity to get free abortions and free vasectomies on site. Yes, it's I'm not kidding.

Sign up boys for your free vasectomies.

They have a van, and they have a van. Uh, beep, beep. Health care, no matter where it's actually an RV with a slide out. That's that's where they do the vasectomy part. Chicago, we're headed your way to provide free vasectomies and abortions Planned Parenthood from great rivers. That's good idea.

Go. Might as well. The Democrat parties, they notorious for having their balls cut off. Nice

looking van, by the way, RV, it's nice got it's got a slide out, everything. It's got to be a, goodness, great. That's got to be a 47 footer, huh? Everyone's laughing about that. Of course, what you do on, on X, laugh about that stuff. Laugh about it,

yeah. All right, all of this. I

got some, I got some Trump Harris stuff. Here. I want to get back and forth from NPR. This is Harris Trump back and forth discussion that took place this week,

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump outlined their plans to combat high prices. The dueling proposals reflect just how important inflation and economy are to voters and pierce Franco Ordonez has been looking at both plans. Franco, thanks for being with us. Thanks for having me, Scott. Let's begin with the Harris plan. What can you tell us? Well, I mean, she's been facing some criticism for not offering her own vision of the job, how she would distinguish herself from

Tell me if you don't want me to do this anymore, urgent, urgent. Ted Cruz's race was named one of the most likely to flip Russian emergency $32.75 to provide critical support. Stop to end. It's just so you flood

Well you can, you can hold off for a while. Okay, all right. But so you got a message within 10 minutes of your opting out and another one. And now you just got a second message, different numbers, of course. And gee, everybody wonders why I put my phone in a drawer. Yes, different number, yeah, of course. This is, should be illegal. These are number spoofers.

Yes, it's time for a government ID so it can block everyone who's sick. Okay, all right. So, and I've heard people look at these two economic plans and say, there's almost no daylight. You might as well go for the for the for the person who's joyous,

yeah, the person who's a liar, who won't do any of these things. Yeah, vote for them. That's the thing I've been hearing, which is people who, who hear that the same basic theory. You know, theoretical? Yes, why would? Why would the Democrats, all of a sudden change course to such an extreme and actually follow through? Does it make sense to anybody? Well,

unfortunately, there's a great documentary called, it's James, I think James Lindsay. He's in it a lot. I don't know if it's I think someone else did. It's called beneath sheep's clothing, and it tracks the Marxist movement in the United States back to, you know, basically World War One, when the women had to go into the factories and government

went to the program. No, I went to the program in the in the belly of the beast, University of California, Berkeley, not

as but it's progressively gotten worse with media blanketing. I'm

looking back on it and I'm wondering, well, you know,

I do have my questions about you, to be quite honest, you were a Democrat for a while, but, you know, you got saved. Something happened?

Yeah, I came to my senses. Yeah. Well, that

does How old were you when you came to your sense?

It was a pretty late in the game.

I think I was, there you go.

These are young. That is a problem, but, but it after a while, you keep noticing that the Democrats, the way I saw it, the Democrats, were going out of their way to to kill me. They are. They were out to kill the baby boomers to get ridden. They're they're very and the population control oriented when the Vietnam War was killing the baby boomers. Yeah, the situation that would Jimmy Carter, but

hold on. But at least then television was showing blown up guys on the battlefield that was new. You don't see blown up guys in Iraq, Afghanistan, any you know, Syria, you don't see that. You don't see the horrors of war. By the way, we finally know what the C in John C Dvorak stands for, communist. That's right, commie. I mean, that was unfair. That was unfair.

It was unfair. I'm not a communist. I never had been. In fact, even when I was a little kid, we, there was a lot of anti communist stuff taught to us,

well, yeah, you went through, you went through the Red Scare and all that. Yeah,

we and it was always it was, it was it was probably good. It probably had some long yes effect, yes.

This is why it's good. And I think we're going through a cycle where Kamala is being called communists, communists, whatever you know they're doing with the K to tie it into common communist Yeah. And is good. We need another Red Scare. We need to be afraid of communism is Marxism specifically, but Kamala communists, it goes well together. We need that with that is what's necessary to wake people up again and that they want. I

think the house on America, un American Activities Committee would be a useful tool. Yeah, that's been disbanded in the 70s.

John for Congress. There you go.

There's a there's a that I wrote about this. Yes, you brought me in. You did. You did,

all right. Clip two,

part two. Clip two. And

I gather they also included some sharp attacks on vice president terrorists. They certainly did. I mean, Trump's been under pressure from Republicans to tone down the personal attacks, and I've spoken with allies who say Trump should really stick to his winning message, which is, are you better off now with Harris

He's so lucky he has Vance to go out there and translate him. What a genius choice.

Yeah, and he keeps saying that he's regretful that he picked Vance. I see the media says that I have seen no evidence of this.

Did you see the latest Vanity Fair?

They know I did. Oh, they did a real hit job on who, non

Trump, Trump. Donald Trump has watched a video clip of the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally, quote over and over again, leading to fears that he may be suffering from PTSD. This is, according to people familiar with the campaign. The forms were

that I Okay. I heard this. I heard about this. And this, this idea that Trump has PTSD. Here

it is. He's been watching that seven second clip

is, this is a schema? Yes, a schema. And I think the mistake they're making is that when they brought the PTSD thing up, and this has come up in the conversation around the house, they're getting a sympathy vote for Trump. He's so

stupid. They all they do all they do with everything. Was a huge I think it's a blunder. Yeah,

I agree if you think that Trump is suffering from PTSD because they shot at him, that which is possible, yeah, but then you feel sorry for Trump. Oh, that's terrible. He's suffering from the horrible attempt on his life. I feel bad about that. Yeah, this is not what you're trying to do here, to get him voted out. But

you're right. It's, it's a schema. It's the same, same messaging in Vanity Fair of all places as NPR, brought to you by any Liebowitz,

yeah, this is, well, this is all coordinated, yes,

yes. It's great. Hello. Four more. You. Years. So done with this nonsense. All right. Final clip, Franco, what

will you be looking for at the Democratic National Convention next week? Well, I mean, the economy isn't the strongest issue for Democrats, so I'm not so sure how much they're going to be talking about that. You were just talking about the protests over Gaza. Are they going to find their way into the arena? I mean, there is going to be a lot of attention on Harris next week

counter programming, of course, he's already, he's already signaled that he's gonna do something big. Yeah,

he does that all the time. Yeah, that's a smart idea

that we done with Trump Harris.

Yeah. I think so. Well

with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in schema, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C,

D, radio, Mr. Adam curry and Maria ship C Woodson, brown fee near subs, award games. Nice out there. Hello,

trolls. Very helpful today, trying to count you trolls. Okay, there we go. 2418, nice, up, up from last week. The closer we get to the election, the more it looks like a horse race, the more the trolls want to tune in and hear about the schemas that are going on. And there in the darkness is the shining light of curry and Dvorak to help you understand something like that, to help you understand what's going on in your world. Yoke trolls hanging out in the troll room. Troll

Don't use the word weird.

Thank you. So I wanted to compliment. I wanted to compliment Darren for doing a call out for poor old Greg kin who died? Yes, my life's in general. Local boys like lives in Berkeley, my

life's in jeopardy. Baby only had one hit,

one, yeah, and that wasn't his best song. No, he was a, basically a bar band. Did you know him? I didn't know. I'm never met him, but he was, you'd see him around town. He was just one of the locals.

Pick up one of those modern podcast apps at podcast apps.com as a benefit, there's something I want to mention. Every one of the modern podcast Apps has a donate button for the show, and so when you're listening to it on the app, you're like, you know, I should support these guys, because the value I'm getting out of it. You just look at the top, and there's a little little button that some say support. Some say someone has a little dollar sign, or a euro sign. You tap it

Well, he listens to the show. You can tell him right

now, he's on feed burner. It will only be a few weeks before you know Google turns Google owns it. They can turn it off at any minute.

I'll tell I'll talk to him about moving it. Yes,

we have to. We have to move it. It's ridiculous. Feed burner. I actually got a call back from, you know, before we get into thanking some of our executive and Associate Executive producers, I had the ex Disney guy call me back about our about our cable idea. He likes it. He likes it a lot, actually. And I said, you want to be CEO, and let me see, did he text me after that?

He ghosted you after that? No, he didn't.

Actually, he's no, he said that he was going to, let me tell you what he was going to reach out to. He was going to reach out to some people for us. Now he had some he, first of all, he's working at some FinTech company. So I'm sure he'd be happy to to get back into something sexy. He says he knows. Who does he know here? Friend of mine in LA was number two at Hulu, then ran HBO Max. I'll ask him. And I know a

that's real people. That's,

that's some real people. Yeah, I met, but I said, I said to him, I said, Dude, you need to run this. You'd be great. Because, you know, Adam and John are not going to do anything. We're

not going to run anything.

In the meantime, we are still value for value, and we love it to

do anything. We didn't do a lot of work. We do some we thought we were big thinkers. Well,

just look at the landscape paramount. Television Studios shutting down. So, I mean, they're shutting down. You know, are you? Did we talk about to be? You know what to be is. Do you have to?

I know what to be is, but we didn't talk about it. No.

So Tubi is they have the largest catalog of old movies and TV shows, old, old stuff, you know, Hogan's Heroes level, because it's very cheap for them to have. They're completely ad based. Word on the street is they were going to report 50% drop in advertising, five, zero. And there's a this is your recession coming. And the funniest news of all was crooked media. These are the guys who do pod save America.

Yeah. And why? Why would you call yourself crooked media.

You know, who cares?

It's ironic, maybe. Or it's like, hahaha, it's funny. So

they have, I think they have 70 or 80 people working on these shows. I mean, I know pod save America, pod save the UK, uh, love it, or leave it. Never heard that one, and they now signed with the Writers Guild of America East. Yeah, and listen to this. Starting salary, $80,000.49 days paid time off. You imagine that? Wouldn't that be nice? 49

days paid time off is like. What are these? This is a European idea, even only the French. They don't even have 45 the French take the rich French take off on Bastille Day, and then they take off the entire month of August. Everybody takes but that's only 45 days,

if, um, maternity leave, 20 weeks, 20 weeks,

and it has to be paid for. Yes,

they're gonna go they're gonna go out of business. That's impossible to do in podcasting. I just don't believe that they can

make especially with the staffs that they have, they have way too many people producing these shows. They got writers and producers and engineers, and they'll pay $955

a month towards health insurance, which is low minimum, 13 weeks of severance, guaranteed, 12 hour minimum rest time between end of work and Next day start cell phone stipend, commuting reimbursement. Yes. Hello, hi. We want to join crooked media. Instead. We don't really want to do that. We love what we do, and we love our trucks, and we love our artists. That's one of the primary time and talent measures that we look at of people supporting the show. We have

Well, I'd say 1000 years from now. Okay,

we want to thank sir Shug, aka faux Diddley, for bringing us the artwork for Episode 1686, we titled that publical Something our dear friend, Dr Tedros said it was, I think, a veterinarian. And this was kamalas cackle. Now with more PBA, it's the candy that all the kids are crazy about. Camels cackle. It was good. It was a typical no agenda packet shot 333, calorie. Calories. It had it all in there. And I don't know if I don't think this was AI, it looks like Photoshop to

when it doesn't even look like them. I like

sloth fever, but we didn't really talk about sloth fever. Yeah, we did. I didn't like it. No, we didn't talk about sloth fever on the show. That was uh Ness works. God, no, we

did. We did briefly, very briefly, we mentioned it. It was a very short bit,

you know, and you get like, Matthew dropco Uploading a whole bunch of waltz, interviewing Harris. No, no. It's just, it's just slick art because AI did it. But this is no comedy to it. There's no comedy. This is, this is the problem and, and I think that that a lot of artists, good artists, become gun shy, like, oh, well, I could never create something that good looking. We put poop looking art up there. If it's funny, it doesn't have to be perfectly slickly done. Back me up here.

I totally agree with it. We don't. If it's a sketch done by hand that is funny, yeah, and has some it has dimensionality, which is my thing, which is you got to have some references to 33 and all the other stuff that goes on on the show in general. ITM Yeah, then we're good to go with it. But yeah, the slick stuff is all AI created, but it's, it's we said it before. It's soulless, mostly, and

that's why Darren O'Neill often wins with AI because Darren understands comedy. He understands what's funny well.

Also we asked Darren for to show us his prompts on one of the art pieces he did. He sent us an email showing every prompt he did, every piece that came out of it and went on and on, he spends as much time prompt prompting the AI art generator to produce what he wants than if he did it by hand, which

actually means that we should have a lot more really good art, because we have a lot of funny producers out there who can't do art at all, but No, instead, It's like Kamala eating an ice cream cone. Okay,

no.

And this and dropco. Dropco is funny. He has humor, and then he brings us this. I mean, I love dropco. He's won recently, but yeah, Tim Rogers Neighborhood, no, no. It's just not funny. It's hard. Humor is hard,

very hard

and and right now I can tell you, I see nothing.

I see nothing, correct.

But we thank you very much, foe diddly, sir Shug, for your contribution, your wonderful value that you have provided us. You can provide value in time, talent and treasure. If you're confused about the concept, value number four, value, dot info, it's pretty good. Write up. Been doing this for a long, long time, so long in fact, that other people think they've come up with it. Yeah. It's amazing how often I hear that, yeah, man, it's a Bitcoin thing. No,

read Atlas, shrugged less shrug, and that's where it

and that's where the value for value came from, from something in that book. So if anything, I and Rand gets some credit, but the model itself and the feedback loop of thanking people for the for producing the show, not calling you listeners or fans, insulting you with that instead calling you producers, which you really are. I mean, here's an example. Rob the constitutional lawyer. He sent me a note. He said he loved, he loved your EULA. Idea of having a minor sign a EULA, and he

learn something new every day. That's a good one. Yeah,

exactly. Production. Producers. We have more than we have more than crooked media. Make

sure your kids sign those EULAs. That's right.

We have more producers than crooked media, but don't you dare get pregnant before

paramount.

Don't you doubt you dare get pregnant because you're not getting 20 weeks paid off at all. And now we'd like to thank our executive and Associate Executive producers. Now these are the producers who come in and really save the day. In fact, many of them were at the Albany meetup. Otherwise, sad puppy would have been crawling all over this thing today.

Well, the sad puppy should have been out anyway, but the meetup did save the day. But I will. I want to compliment Steve, the recalcitrant night. He organized it. Who organizes? He does all the meetups over on the East Bay, and he did a tremendous job. And then I was talking to Mimi about it, because we had about, oh, at least 40 people, maybe more, considering the last time we did the mallard Club was

probably the one of the, the most

per head, I think, is probably the highest we've ever done, one of the most generous meetups in a while. So that was a big deal, the way it works. Go ahead. Well, I'm just saying that. I just wanted to thank Steven. I hope you got his ball of Pinot Noir out of this. There's that the guy didn't forget to give it to him.

So the way it works is, if you donate $200 to an episode of the show or above, you become an Associate Executive Producer, it's a real credit. You can use this anywhere show business. Credits are recognized. You can use it anywhere you want, but it will be accepted anywhere, including imdb.com, if you don't have an a production account, that you can open one up and go ahead and go search for no agenda, see how many executive and Associate Executive Producers are. There

well, a little piece of gold, but it was a chunk. He bought this from a Metal Exchange. And. A big piece, a giant piece

of silver. Nice, five ounces.

Yeah, I was a big chunk of silver. And so you have to, I don't know what we're gonna do. How are we gonna get that into the bank? But I have it.

What? The bank won't accept silver. What is this nonsense? Yeah,

it's California. They don't accept, they will accept gold. I think they have a little scale there. You can drop it off.

Well, he gave us five grams of gold and five ounces of silver to make him the Duke of San Francisco and and I appreciate that. I often have to correct people about the value for value model. And if you use PayPal stripe, you abuse voter book, no people send us check. Was it 40% checks? Because that high? Is that too high?

That's way too high. Oh,

I thought it was up there.

No, it's, well, I don't do the calculation in my head, and I will tell you that it is probably, it's close to 3030,

25, to 30% and it's, it's almost no fee, 15 cents. Processing for us. You can send them directly from your bank account in the US, of course, and it's appreciated. I mean, some of these processing fees are getting pretty high.

That's four or five, six bucks. Thanks. Biden, no processing fees with a silver ingot No.

All right, so Ben, you will be up to Duke of San Francisco. Thank you, sir.

Yeah, in fact, I he sent me a note about that because I got confused who gave me the silver, and I was gonna almost credit Steve with it. Oh no. Oh no, Steve did give me a book, though, sir. Etima quive quivel, quivi. Quivel quievi, queve eterna Laredo, Texas, eternas quievi in Laredo, he's 350 uh, Why does nobody talk about American Airlines and their relationship to an immigration surge? We've talked

Dr Don marata Cupertino, California, came to the meetup. 333, dot 69 Dame Audra and I love giving and receiving, value for value this. That's all that it is, giving, receiving. Thank you. Beautiful beautiful note, beautiful donation. Appreciate it.

I will mention that a lot of people came to the meetup and they either handed off some money, they didn't have the envelope with the note or anything, so they're not going to get any credit because I didn't, couldn't keep track of who they were, but everybody else is on the spreadsheet. So I want to thank everybody for helping us out there in that meetup. That was a good meetup, uh. TK, Gustafson in Wasilla, Alaska, 333. 33 greetings, gents, uh. TK, Gustafson.

You've been deduced

for the last month or so, y'all been tiptoeing around the name I think you've been looking for with Harris, and I just can't believe it hasn't come out yet. I do believe the name you're looking for is kakala. I hope this helps. Please deduce me, which we just did, and it's not too much trouble. Uh, hassle. Bugs, I like the bugs jingle and Reverend Al of your choosing and a rubbilizer for jingles. Keeping an eye on those pesky Ruskies with Sarah.

TK, yeah. TK, oh, wait, that's not the right one.

Why is that? Hmm, bugs, maybe

he wants ants.

No, he wants bugs. But no, that's not it. Oh, here it is. I got it there. Oh, I feel better

now. R E, s, p, i, C, T, India. Hang out. Mike standby, 3333 33 barbaliser, out.

All right. Michael polling, San Francisco, Cal. California, 333, dot, 33 from the Albany meetup. Albany meetup, I don't see any note.

No, I don't think he had a note. It's just probably in an envelope. Okay, well, thank

you very much. Appreciate it. I'm

guessing he has a note you can send in a future date. Can in El Sobrante, California, three, three, 3.33. They're John and Adam, my smoking hot wife, Jamie, and I started listening to no agenda show after hearing Adam's first appearance on the Rogan probably get some you have some late bloomers. Yes, we do. From the old Rogan podcast from the Austin studio. The Albany meetup was my first ever, and it was great. Yeah, a fine group of friendly, outgoing and

So I was about to put Dr Don and Dame Audra together as executive producer, because of the 333 dot 69 but what do we see here? Dame Audra comes in with her own donation of $300.33 and says, Keep it up, gents also from the Albany meetup. So together, they came in as top, top donors. Thank you so much. It's beautiful.

Lawrence wolf in Oakland 300 he actually wrote a note. He did the note thing. And I have it, and you can tell it's a real because it's

paper on paper. Uh, it's a little long.

It's too long, so I'm going to just read the first paragraph. I wish to thank you for your amygdala shrinking. Media deconstruction. I have been listening to the best podcast in the Universe since early 2023 after listening to Adam once again on the Joe Rogan podcast, another late bloomer. This is, this is a classic brand of numbers. Thing

today is now, I wish I will. I will add his second paragraph. All I can say is, I wish I had known about you guys during the scam demic as it was, I had to survive on Twitter, verse ramblings, and was able to get through it without the jab. It would have been better with you and the connection that you get from the meetups. Well, we're going through all kinds of dystopia right now. In fact, he wants to be knighted today as Sir Lawrence of dystopia, and wants Malbec and Mallow Mars at

uh, okay. I think onward to Sir

Robert Montoya, Black Knight of Pleasant Hill, in Pleasant Hill, California, from the Albany meetup, $300 Thank you, Sir Robert.

Uh, onward to Ron Norin in Holland, in the town. It looks like Luton.

Well, it's sir Ron Norton. Ron in floating, in floating. I'll read it so you can do the next one. A small donation, returning some treasure. After all the value received. Keep up the great work, boys, that's how it works. Whatever, whatever you get out of the show, no matter what the value is, to send it back, we can't determine your size of your pocketbook. In this case, $200 is perfect for Sir Ron Norton. And he says, No jingles, no karma. Warm regard, sir Ron Norton. And thank you very much.

Linda lupatkin, there she is, Lakewood, Colorado. That's why he's having me read it, because I seem to be the one that gets this every time, and because you know why she asked for jobs karma every time. And then she mentions your premium content is the best, because all the contents premium, speaking of premium content, she goes on Go to Image makers. Inc.com, for all your executive resume and job search

jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's go for

jobs. And Sir seven up partridge and Dame wind chimes partridge. We're also at the Albany meetup, and they kicked in $200 Associate Executive producers for them. Thank you. Thank you both.

And so John Siebert in Auburn came down from Auburn to go to the Albany meetup, and he came in with 200 bucks too. Very nice. Craig, thanks for the best podcast in university rights.

Craig Clifford closes us out as the final associate. Executive producer from Uxbridge, Ontario, $200 Canadian bucks, I don't know. Doesn't matter. We count them equal, because we're not a holes Adam and John Craig Clifford from communist Canada. Here, it's been some time since my last donation on August the 18th. It'll be my 63rd trip around the sun. This donation is a switcheroo to credit our beloved grand sir grandson, Remy Clifford. Remy Remy. What do you

yeah, it would be better. Yeah, it is good. But I'd say the 2012 and 2013 would be better, by the way, this I

didn't clip it, but ABC this weekend did a whole special on wine country of America and highlighted the Texas Hill Country right here, right in the back backyard, as one of the up and coming fantastic wine regions of America. Yeah, you laugh. All you want a rib steak cooked medium rare as well, and garlic mashed potatoes. Thank you for your courage. If you could please play pigs in human clothing, that'd be great. Kind Regards from Craig, fear is

freedom. Subjugation is liberation. Contradiction. Those are the facts of this. You will all surrender to them. You pigs in human

clothing. Ah, their favorite pigs in human clothing. That's right. Vote for Kamala. And you'll hear that a lot. You'll hear it a lot every just go to school, go to go to your government, shul, everything will be fine. Thank you, Shula, thank you to all these executive and Associate Executive producers. We appreciate every single value donation that you send to us. You can go to no agenda donations.com we will

formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth. You

I wanted to do a little presentation, because I've seen this guy before. Cali means he was, do you remember when RFK Jr announced his horrible vice president pick the socialite? Oh, right, the woman and this guy. And I think I played clips from then, Callie means, and he used to be a lobbyist in in DC. And his sister, I forget what her name

Well, Tucker has an aghast style.

Aghast,

yeah, he's aghast. A, G, H, A, S, T, I think is, I

think it's genuine.

I'm not saying it's not genuine. I'm just saying he's aghast. And it's and to the point where it's almost a parody of itself. He's, you know, the mouth is slightly open. It's like, I can't believe what I'm hearing, as opposed Rogan's a little more aggressive. He's more like a like a UFC fighter. He's actually a different style of interviewer, to say the least. And he's not aghast, please, necessarily. They're

both conversationalists more than interviewers. I wanted to click. He had Peter Thiel on impossible to clip. I'll do Peter Thiel.

No, Peter Thiel is impossible to clip. I saw that He's worse than musk. It must be some milieu. Yeah,

it's the difficult talk. It's a difficult talking California tech people. Let me steel man, that for you. Steel man, what is this? When did this become a thing? Let me steel man, that for you?

No, it's another new one. It's quite irritating. Oh, you mean, you were all irritating.

So Peter, how much you've been spying on everybody with your Palantir outfit. So what was most interesting and is, oh, now I'm starting to sound like him is Callie's experience as a lobbyist in Washington, DC, and he starts off with a history of food, which I guess, if I think about it, yeah, I could have known, but no one has ever said it quite this. Clearly, I wanted

to be contributing to politics from an early age, and went to Stanford to go back into politics, studied economics, political science, went straight back to campaigns after school. What I learned quickly is that in campaigns over you work for the biggest spenders in DC, and I found myself across the desks from food industry in the farm industry, the farm industry spends five times more in DC than the oil industry, by far

I of course it makes sense. RJR, Nabisco, I never realized that that it was actually the cigarette guys who went, Oh, okay, we can't do that. We'll do this. Have you ever thought about it that way?

No, and I wouldn't think about it that way after listening to this guy blather on, these companies don't operate that way. It makes it sound like a giant conspiracy. It's not when RJR button to say they own Nabisco that they all of a sudden change the way Shredded Wheat is manufactured because of some tobacco idea. I'm not buying this guy. I don't like him. I don't like the way he talks. I don't like his patter.

I'm hearing a buzz in the microphone at Tucker's not here, Tucker's place. Well, now, now I'm after that outburst. I'm apprehensive to play anymore. I don't think I want to.

Well, the problem is, I'm hearing a guy who is, like, seeing, you know, ghosts in the closet kind of thing.

Well, he was there. He was a lobbyist, yeah. Well, I'm sure that

the food industry does have a lot of lobbyists and and they're probably not doing us any favors, generally speaking, but it's not as though this idea of processed food just came along because of tobacco companies,

no, but they started lobbying big with their with their powerful cash lobby.

And then the

second thing they did is they shifted their lobbying. So the cigarette industry, of course, was the biggest, you know, lobbying spenders, and very had a good playbook. They shifted their playbook on lobbying and rigging institutions of trust to food. So they created the food

don't believe that, so I might as well stop.

No, I don't. And the food pyramid, which first appeared in 1972 came out of Scandinavia, had these same issues with the carbs being too, too high. Of course, in Scandinavia probably need more carbs. No, I'm not. No, I don't think they're. They're trying to make food more addictive. You don't? I think there's, I think there are issues with sugar, there's issue with with there's issues with the way wheats

I'll agree with you on that. Well, I'll just, I'll just skip to the last bit. Then the overall point, and that's why he's there with his sister, is that you often see pharma and food, and this is what we see on television, pharma and food lobbying together. And that's why, if you look at television, you get fast food, fast food, fast food, diabetes drug, diabetes drug, ozempic heart drug. I mean, I think there's something to it that there that this is what he calls the he has

to the healthcare industry. And as Casey said, the fastest growing industry in America right now isn't AI. It's not tech, it's healthcare. It's the largest and fastest growing industry, and just as a statement of economic fact, the

think it's just good to hear it from time to time, we're not eating real food, you and I don't have that issue. We eat good food. A lot of people don't,

and most people don't,

particularly in America, although I've seen it,

but I would say again, what I brought up earlier that the physician, it was it felony to accept money, a direct payments for prescribing drugs. Yes, I think that would have a bigger impact than when he's, you know, him. And is this a conspiracy kind of a thing that? Well, of course, and he brought tobacco in as you know, as the tobacco guys are just these evil villains that are finding ways to addict people to poison the food supply in this country is toxic. There's no question about it. You go

more seed oils, sludge.

Yeah. All right, that's all. That's all well, then let's play as something a little lighter. I've got light to lighten things up. I'm

gonna pull it no matter what you know, I'm gonna do that to you. Now this

is going to be a little discussion on this NPR. So important to discuss brat summer.

I thought that already came and went. Brat

summer is morphing into something new. Oh, brat summer

this viral trend that took its name from the latest Charlie XCX album titled brat. But as summer starts to wind down, we're also seeing a new trend start to emerge on social media here to tell us about it is. Is USA Today. Health and wellness reporter Charles trepone, wait, okay, stop

the clip. This

isn't just a Kamala commercial.

No, no. You think it would be. I mean, I have undertones in the commercial by anti Trump stuff, but this is the health and wellness reporter for USA Today. Okay? And he's talking about breath. This is a this is National Public Radio, their treasure with the most inane conversation. I'm going to say before you do the most inane stupid conversation, plugging this record and and talking about Brad summer that nobody cares about except some kids out and on tick tock. I found this

gonna offend us with this offensive nonsense. I think

people should be aware that this is this sort of thing. Is what the national public treasure is plays on the weekends.

Charles, welcome to all things considered, hi. Thank you so much for having me worth it already.

What was that?

Oh, I did sweeten it a bit. Oh, okay, I'll

shut up. Charles trepone, Charles, welcome to all things considered, hi. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you for being here. And First things first, for anyone who missed brat summer, can you just tell us what was this all about? So having a brat summer basically means embracing chaos, embracing your messy side, embracing your wild side. It's about clubbing, partying. When Charlie XCX sort of described what a brat means to her. She said that it can include luxury.

so I know about this. You know, we still have the millennial from Brooklyn staying with us. Yeah,

okay, why don't you give us a little enlightenment here? Because I found this to be for one thing, this extremely, maybe not gay health and wellness reporter from USA Today to be like, What? What has this got to do with anything, especially your job? But he's, I guess, a social I don't know. No,

that's a big part of it. This is the the the American communism has resulted in a complete withdrawal from society. In other words, we're just going to all get blue collar jobs, work at bars, work in restaurants, live on tips. Go Trump, no tax on Oh, go Kamala, no tax. What doesn't matter. We're not going to vote. We're only going to take care of our own community. We barter, we live a quiet life, we smoke weed, we just chill. And yes, I'm telling you, and have and we

You're making me sick.

So these are both kind of delightful in very opposite ways. Right? Like Brad is, yes, childish and immature, demure is poised and grown up, but both of these memes are sort of taking up space in the online hive mind. What do you make of that, even though they're both very opposite, I think they're kind of reacting to the same sort of theme. Feeling in the culture that people are experiencing this year. I think people in

but I think I described it

perfectly. Yeah, you might be right onto something. It's beyond me. That's for

sure. Well, that's not our producers, that's not our trolls. Don't think so at all. Okay, I have a series of very quick clips, very quick clips and a clip Blitz, ooh, well, I don't know if I can do it is kind of a clip Blitz, but I won't be able to as too many as too many clips for me to it's literally like 10 seconds, 12 seconds, eight seconds, six seconds, this. This pissed me off. Because, what? Well, I was pissed off.

You got irked. Now, I

was pissed off on the last show, okay, on the last show, you played a Ukraine clip, and they talked about this, you know, one quarter acre that Ukraine had, uh, invaded Russia, and it was 1000

meters square kilometers,

kilometers. And I said, I heard him talk about 1000 and you said, No, and I'm not saying that you weren't pushing against

no use the way I heard it. You said that they moved into Russia, 1000 kilometers? Well, 1000

square kilometers is 400 is 427,000 acres.

Okay? So, yes, but going in 1000 if you went in 1000 and you had 1000 square that you'd only be in by 1000 kilometers, by one kilometer. Why? So, the point

of the clips here is that they're all full of crap. So this is five days ago.

Tony. How much do we know about Ukraine's operations inside Russia? You put it in that historical context for us, yesterday, the first foreign incursion, military incursion, into Russia since World War Two. Yes, I mean, that tells you the significance of it and how embarrassing in many ways, it is for the Kremlin to have to confront this. And yesterday, Ukrainian officials met with President Zelensky, and the military told him that they had control of 1000 square

And now we go to,

what was that? What was that? That was a misreport. Yeah, it's Deutsche Bella.

But now we're going to go to just two days ago, and now you hear this. Ukraine's

army chief gave this update when speaking to President Volodymyr Zelensky. Since the start of today, troops have advanced around one mile in various directions. Okay,

one mile now went from 1000 square kilometers to one mile. Now we go to the BBC after

advancing up to 10 kilometers into korsk, Ukrainian troops have now posted video showing them inside the neighboring Russian region of Belgorod. Okay, let's

go to the CBC. Reports

suggest Ukrainian troops have advanced more than 10 kilometers inside Russian territory.

Let's go to France. 24

Well, those are the declarations of the Commander in Chief, Alexandre sisky, on the size of the territory currently under Ukrainian control. So of course, this is what Kyiv is saying, that there's 1150 square meters of territory Russian territory currently under Ukrainian. Control.

And then finally, today's report,

Ukraine says it does not want to permanently occupy Russia's Kursk Region after launching a major offensive into the territory last week, Ukraine says its intention is to thwart Russian attacks on its territory and to pull Russian military resources away from the Ukrainian frontline. Russia's Defense Ministry's released footage of what it says are operations against Ukrainian forces operating inside the

So if I mean, no one has the story straight. Everybody has different numbers, different summer, measuring distance. Some are measuring area. Okay, they're all full of crap. But what I think we're looking at here. But by

the we should back up and mention that we since day one of this Ukraine, Russia fiasco, yeah, we have been saying that these reports are all boat. We can't trust anybody saying anything about anything is the same thing with the Israel and and Hamas. You can't believe anybody on either side. Which takes us right back to your earlier point, which is that we don't get to see the mangled bodies anymore. The reporting stinks.

The only thing I hear out of this final report that I just played is we have a demilitarized zone in the making, and it's being determined partially by the press, by the media Russia taking citizens out, that is pretty consistent, although, again, different numbers everywhere. I think we're looking at a DMZ, and that means and they're talking about bargaining chips, and we're getting very close to some kind of negotiation, and now we're

Well, it looks like there, I get the sense that the Ukrainians are panicking, feeling that Trump could win, and they know that once that happens, there's

no more money. He has no more money. I did get an awesome clip.

I do have some Ukrainian. This is a shorty.

Is just light hearted, new word. So Ukraine apparently has an ombudsman, an ombudsman. What does the ombudsman do? What is an ombudsman?

Yes, he is the he is a person that's usually set up as a neutral party within a corporation or a government that is supposed to be beholding to nobody that actually hired him. And he is, he or she is supposed to be a middle man for complaints.

Well, this middleman for complaints in Ukraine came out with a report about the Russians torturing Ukrainians, and he had an interesting word, yes.

So the the Human Rights Commissioner here, ombudsman here in Ukraine, opened an investigation following this video, which has been circulating on social media. It hasn't been identified yet, but it is in line of previews. I

love this new word authentic.

Well, it's not a word as authenticated as what we're supposed to be. I know, but I love identified. I love it. There's another show title for us, which

has been circulating on social media. It hasn't been identified yet, but it is in line

of it's groovy. We have to look it up to make sure it's not a word. I

looked it up. There's no it's not a word. There's no word authentic. Well, natalism also didn't show up. Let me see. So natalism is a word. Well, now what was the other word that didn't it was another word that didn't show up. Apparently, uh, publical is a word somewhere. Wait, authentic. Oh, no. Wait, identified. What is this? Wictionary, Wiktionary, simple past and past part participle of authentic, really,

that doesn't sound right to me. Doesn't sound right to me either,

to authentic. Let me see, can you authentic?

That's crazy.

We're mocking people for using correct language. That's great. No, no,

there is no, there is no word authentic in the in the online dictionaries, but there will be soon identified. Please use identified in a sentence. Yeah.

All right, okay, get my Ukraine. Uh, odd report, Ukraine. It's about this is just up. It says, odd report. For a reason,

Ukrainian military forces continue to control hundreds of square miles of land in the Russian territory of Kursk. Well, now it's hundreds of square miles. That's more than a week after they launched an invasion that took Russia by surprise. Now, few reporters have gotten right up to the front lines of the fighting, but one who's gotten close is Nick

time. Okay, what was weird about it? What was odd about it? Who

was strange about it? Well, his comment was that it's like as if nothing is going on, and he's got their kids out there. They're playing in the playgrounds. There's no it's not a war no zone, even though it's right there,

by the way, the minute they start talking about the 33 square miles or kilometers, will know it's over. It's coming. It's coming. So, yeah, so they're just hanging out there with the kids and the playground. Everything's groovy,

yeah. And he found this is a Deutsche Valley guy, so, you know, that's CIA, so we, so I just found the report to be odd, and that's why I called it this, because and everyone, the guy himself, the DW guy, is kind of befuddled, and so is the reporter that's taking the story in. So here we go. So what

do you make of this shift in the mood? I think people are really happy to have something else to talk about, to have some grounds for optimism. There is a real sense of kind of pride that, you know, the Russians are now having to feel what war, isn't it? This isn't just going all in one direction.

that where's the war?

That's what makes this, these clips, so odd. Now I there's something else that's kind of odd, this Kursk thing, mainly because I was watching some documentaries about. World War Two, and Kursk was the last place that the Nazis attacked after they got driven out of Stalingrad. They got driven out of Russia and regrouped in Kursk. To no they regrouped outside of Kursk, probably in Ukraine, because which was a Nazi it was a Nazi state for all practical purposes. It still is.

Well, when I think of Kursk, I think of that sub that all those guys died when they sank. Remember that it was at

the bottom the Kursk submarine disaster. I think it was in the year 2000 something like that. Yeah, now we'll play this last clip, and that'll be the end of

it. Are you seeing any signs that make you think that the Ukrainian military is thinking of moving on or or potentially giving up some of this territory? Actually, quite the opposite. We've had news in the last few days of them setting up these military authorities. So basically, this kind of administrations to deal with Russian civilians left there. We've also seen them blowing up bridges across some strategic rivers, which would allow them to defend the territory more easily and

something's up, yeah. Well, Russians don't seem to be caring that much about it, no, which makes it even more strange.

The whole thing is lame. It's lame, really, it's lame before we go to war torn Israel, which I'm sure we have to talk about briefly. I would just go, like to go to war torn UK for a moment.

I should get more clips from this. You the UK thing is completely, it's, it's like, it's like propaganda wars in some funny ways. Oh, very much we have, we have no idea of what the truth is.

Some headlines mi five could scrutinize Tommy Robinson funding and checks, and it may extend to Farage. So here comes the political hit jobs. So Tommy Robinson, who founded and left the EDL, but apparently the EDL is responsible for all of this and Elon Musk, according to the Guardian, inciting rioters in Britain, was just a test run for Elon Musk, just see what he plans for America.

Oh man, here's the guardian.

Oh yeah, here's a BBC hit piece on Farage. Newly published figures suggest the leader of reform UK, Nigel Farage, has the highest earnings outside parliament of any MP in the latest register of members financial interests, Mr. Farage declared earnings of more than a million pounds a year over and above his MP salary. More details from our political correspondent Damian grammaticus,

as the MP for Clacton Nigel, Farage earns an annual salary of 91,000 pounds a year. It's now emerged that he is, in addition, paid more than that every month by GB news, 97,900 a month, to be exact, to present on its TV channel, all MPs have to declare their outside earnings. The newly published register shows Mr. Farage also earns 4000 pounds a month writing for The Telegraph newspaper, and he's been paid more than 16,000 pounds for recording short, personalized

on. After Nigel, making plans for Nigel over there is this

like peanuts compared to what our congress people make on insider trading, on insider trading and everything in between, is public speaking and the rest of it? Oh, yeah, they're going after him for some what's he doing, though? Yeah, we haven't gotten any clips from about him. He hasn't spoke at Question time that I can find. So he did

one question time. It was boring and long, and everyone left, and there was no oohing and eyeing or booing, yeah. And then just thought this was rather interesting. The Church of England is going to rebrand. They're rebranding to drop the word church.

They're just going to call themselves England.

The Church of England looks set to undergo a rebrand by dropping the word church in favor of relevant and modern sounding descriptions such as community,

the community of England. Yeah, yeah. What it is? A church. Hello, yeah, no, no,

we can't have that. A spokesman for the church claim, one reason why the word church appears less often in descriptions of new worshiping communities is that these forms of worship can exist outside traditional brick and mortar churches. Oh, okay,

so what?

England has fallen. They've fallen. It's over with at least for a couple years, until we get

a big apologist for religions or churches. But a church is a church. It looks like a church, it acts like a church, and there are services that are convened within the church. You think, Why would you call it what? Why don't you just call it what it is? What's the point of this? Is like the 1984

No, it is 1984 it's 2024 it's 1984 all over again. You can't do anything in the UK. You can't annoy anyone on social media. I, you know, I live there. I like the Brits.

What good is social media if you can't annoy people?

That's the whole point of social media, I know. And then we cannot let an episode go by without the latest very, very scary temperature rise,

climate change. Curiously, I got some climate chips. The chips, climate chips. Well, here's

my climate chip. Spanish beachgoers

seeking cool reprieve from the summer's heat, may have been surprised when they dipped their feet in the water on Friday. All right,

so the Spanish beachgoers were surprised when they dip their toe in the water. Let's find out why they might have been surprised.

The Mediterranean Sea hit a new heat record, topping its highest ever temperature for the second year running, the daily median water surface temperature reached 28.9 degrees Celsius compared with 28.7 degrees Celsius last year,

it's two tenths of a degree warmer, and people were surprised, oh, oh my, this is so warm, two tenths of a degree warmer. Wait

a minute, this. So this report claims that people can sense two tenths of a degree to the point where it becomes a news story. What's

wrong with you? You can't sense that you don't you. You anti climate change conspiracy theorists. You

the daily median water surface temperature reached 28.9 degrees Celsius compared with 28.7 degrees Celsius last year. The Record comes on the heels of a scorching July over large parts of the basin, and for experts, the news is concerning. Overheating of the sea prevents the air from cooling at night and encourages heat waves.

It encourages heat waves. Hey, hey, hey, hey, heat climate. This is the ocean talking. How about a heat wave. Warmer

water also leads to higher mortality rates among many fish species. Experts from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, long classified the Mediterranean as a hotspot for global warming, they say it is particularly vulnerable to rising sea surface temperatures and faces significant risks due to climate change. Due

to climate change. There it is due to climate change. Everything is due to climate change. I think we we should just keep that. We should just keep that in we should just say, Oh, I'm not feeling well

due to climate change, yeah, oh,

I have a headache. Definitely make that a sub clip.

I have a headache due to climate change, yeah,

just, we just got to keep it in there due to climate change. Oh. Oh no, I missed the bus due to

climate change.

I think you're onto something. Okay, good. I got a climate change in SoCal Southern California and the water crisis,

cities and suburbs in Southern California rely on the Colorado River for about a third of their water supplies. Now, the biggest user of that water is set to receive more than a half billion dollars from the federal government to use less. Alex Hager, with member station K UNC, has more. The Imperial Irrigation District in Southern California agreed to leave a portion of its Colorado River water in Lake Mead over each of

it's gonna get dusty. Brother, oh man, you know, and it's still a punchline for us, but it's really going one of these days, they're going to clamp down, and we're all going to be sad that we only laughed about it. Yeah. Well, there's

nothing else we can do but laugh about it. Here's climate change and hurricane Debbie, which is funny name for hurricane in Georgia,

a crew is hauling away a makeshift road block outside Statesboro, Georgia, a large pile of dirt heaped on the road to keep people from crossing a bridge that flooded in the storm. We done this because people have been running the barricades. Dink Butler is the public works director for Bullock County, about 50 miles northwest of Savannah and an hour and a half from the beach.

Juicing climate change is, hey, I thought we were gonna get a whole bunch of hurricanes. Where's the big hurricane season? Oh, I'm sorry. Talking about, oh, I'm sorry. We're only a, we're only at D for Debbie,

yeah, it's not that many. We should be at

Samantha by now, according to the earlier reports, didn't we have reports about that storms?

Yeah, there was a bunch of reports, because they had one early and they said, Oh, this will be the worst, because it goes till November, so we can catch up. There's plenty of time.

Let me see, it was hurricane. Hurricane. Gotta

get the Zelda,

yes, hurricane, wasn't it. This old

report and now with back to back to back natural disasters, Biden is asking Congress to boost emergency funding to $16 billion

I don't know when that was from. When is that that's from last year, and we were supposed to get big hurricanes. I don't understand. Okay. Anyway, due to climate change, you

have a part two to this. Okay.

Shepherd says the intense rainfall fits the overall trend. The data has been very clear for several years now that when it rains, it rains with greater intensity, even in just sort of heavy afternoon thunderstorms, not just hurricanes, it's not just more rain. The warming ocean is also making hurricanes more powerful. Hurricanes have historically lost steam as they move over land, but Shepherd says that's not as true anymore as the. Storms are more juiced, and as their I think impacts further

got a note from Sir by His grace, who is in Florida. He said, No, no, September, September. September is when it's all supposed to happen, okay, but I hope it doesn't for him and his family, yeah, for everyone, it's no good. I have two clips just of some things that are actually this. You know, you had a 4.4 magnitude momentum scale earthquake

last week, Southern California. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And

listening to this clip, I'm like, Oh, I see what you're doing. This is a real estate scam.

Angelenos felt the jolt, the shaking, of a 4.4 magnitude earthquake this week. It felt like a basketball some put their earthquake drills to good use and sheltered underneath kitchen tables. This latest one originated from the Puente Hills fault, which is 25 miles long and runs from Glendale to Pasadena to Puente Hills. It's been really active in recent months, much more so than in past years. In its location near apartment buildings, homes and businesses, is concerning.

No, I think what's happening here is 6000 homeowners are going to get a knock on the door. It's going to be up. If you don't want to upgrade, we're going to tear it down and we're going to put a new building here. Smells like a real estate scam to me.

Well, you know that earlier report about the water, they cut the water off, seems like a real estate scam too. I mean, when you drive down Highway five over the last few years and you get down to maybe 100 miles north of Los Angeles, everything is all dried up, and there's sign there's billboards up, people saying they've taken they're screwing us over. They won't give us water, so we're farmers are going out of

Oh, you know? Why you know? Why don't you know? Why don't you

climate change? Due to climate change,

exactly due to climate change. Man, get out of there. Get out of there. You're never going to leave. Are you? You want? You want to? I love it here. You're going down with the ship. All right. Final clip. This is just one of those little revealing things that you didn't hear much about in the headlines. The voting

technology company suing right wing media outlets over 2020 Election coverage is now embroiled in its own controversy. The US Justice Department indicted three current and former executives from Smartmatic on charges connected to a bribery scheme. Prosecutors say the executives use a slush fund to bribe the former top election official in the Philippines, Andy Bautista, in exchange providing voting

there you go. Bunch of corrupt, corrupt people in that company. Sounds like he's in hiding, but he posts on X, yeah, and we can't find out where you are. No,

you can't find out anything. Can't find out who's calling me and telling me that. Hey, Mr. Davok, Yo, you got a call wreck recently. Why you are in call wreck? Do you have? Did you got good insurance for a car wreck you had just recently

or like I got due tonight? GOP petitioned to require ID to vote in all 50 states. We were just 15 signatures away. Just 15 don't cost us this sign now stop. Equals, end. That's the third one. Just

read another one of these things. That's the third. Have there been any other ones that you kind of passed over and No,

no, so

you've gotten three? Three,

yes. Well, okay, the night is young. Anyway, I'm happy that you're in California. You are boots on the ground in California. Yeah, that's good. I'm

boots on the ground. One of the guys that was coming to the meetup says, you know, I don't know you guys a safe place to park my Tesla. And I'm saying I'm in the East Bay. That's all the car you park it, you won't find your Tesla. That's the problem, because there's this Tesla, Tesla, Tesla, Tesla. You know, he's and his thought was that, well, you know, people hate Elon Musk now, so they're gonna break my Tesla windows.

Imagine all the people who could do, oh, yeah, that'd be

fun. No, we're gonna thank you donors who came in $50 and above, we give your name and your location if you've provided it, sometimes there's a message, if we can slip it in there, and obviously your donation amount.

It looks like then we have Angela Garcia in San Francisco, Adam Reimer in Napa, and light Chow and Sophie nuyen in parts unknown, but also in California, because they all went to the Albany meetup, each one of them dropped in $100 nice. That's nice. Robin Tolbert in Topeka eight, and it's got

Oh,

no, this.

This may be the reason that there was numbers were so low off the mailing.

We need to we need a health check. We need a wellness check.

Yeah, so Kevin, we have to assume Kevin McLaughlin sent it in and didn't go through this is this was an issue, I think, which caused the low numbers. What kind of issue? Kevin O'Brien, Chicago, like a paper issue. We had a PayPal issue. I had. It has to be Kevin O'Brien in Chicago, Illinois, 606. James Edmondson in South Plainfield, New Jersey, 5510 Dean Roker, 5510 sir. Robertson of two sticks in DOS palos, California. Yeah. He came in from dos Paulos, $55 at the

of book you get on a list, a pile of them you get on a list for having that book. Well, maybe

us anyway. That's recalci, and he did the meetup. So he's, I can't good guy. Compliment him enough. Dean, a carrier in Laval, Quebec, $50 long time. Douchebag needs a D douche

longer. It's been, it's been, oh, man, it'll be coming up three years, two years, two years, I think. And

now we're getting these, these guys coming in late. That's, I find it very strange. Well, it could be just random numbers. Thanks for the entertainment and analysis.

foremost. Let's just start from the beginning. How exactly is monkeypox spread? According to the CDC, 98% of monkeypox cases are in men. 93% among men who reported recent sexual contact with other men. Look The CDC says the vast majority of cases have involved men having sex with other men. But it. Late Friday night, Illinois officials reported that a daycare worker tested positive. CBC, the warning over the weekend about children under the age of eight now to the

commercial of the week, and we didn't do anything.

We just played her. But here's the problem, the things that she said yesterday don't work. They have never worked. They've never been used many times before in many other countries, they've never worked. They've just never worked. It's a communist. It's what her father a Marxist. He was a Marxist. It's what her father taught her. When I am elected president, I will make it a top priority to bring down costs and increase economic security for all
