It's hot. Adam curry.
John C Dvorak, it's Thursday,

August 29 2024 this is your award winning give our nation media assassination Episode 1690
This is no agenda, very

demure, very mindful, and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas new country here in FEMA Region, number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry from

Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all wondering what the hell Kamala said in the interview that's been taped and edited. I'm Johnson black.

You barely made it through it. It was hard. It was hard. When is that? Air Tonight?

Yeah, airs tonight at nine Eastern. It'll be groovy. It'll suck. It'll be all edited down. And you, CNN, a bunch of journalists are going along with the program. Oh, whatever you say, we'll cut this out. We'll cut that out. We'll take the this and that. It's gonna be

who just who says those who says they won't sabotage her. You never know. We don't know who's playing what these days.

Do I agree with that theory? Yeah, anything. In fact, the latest thing with Kennedy, I do have a Kennedy, a quick, quick Kennedy thing that nobody seems to want to point out. And I'm going to point it out on on Jen Psaki show, Carrie Kennedy came out to bitch about her brother. Yeah, she

has the same voice.

Well, that was the joke I was,

yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You said. No one wants to talk about it. Everyone

was a hint.

Is that? Now, is that genetic? I thought that he had some kind of,

well, the Yeah, it's a just, it's called a spasmodic dysphoria or something has got some crazy name, but it's play Kerry Kennedy. First I got a clip here. Yep, I can't understand a word of her. By the way,
I completely out and separate and dissociate myself from from Robert Kennedy Jr, and this flagrant and inexplicable effort to desecrate and trampled set by her tonight, my father's memory.

We shouldn't be laughing.

She can't help it. No, I'm not laughing at the fact that we're laughing that she can't get what she's trying to get out. She couldn't say it. But nobody has pointed this out, except you just now, oh, she has this same disorder and and it, I looked into it, so I read about it. Dr Dvorak is all kinds of different things. One out of 50,000 people have

it. How about this? Is it caused by inbreeding? No,

that's the thing. There is no evidence that there's anything genetic about it. So wow, what are the odds that somebody else in the family would have it, unless it is genetic, and they've got it all wrong? No,

stay away from Miami sport. I guess there's something in the water up there that's

screwy about the fact that she has the same ailment. But anyway, but back to the other thesis. What so start looking into it. I think it was Breitbart or a Daily Caller. I think maybe Daily Caller that brought out the fact that it was Cheryl Hines that told Bobby to talk to Trump.

Yeah, the daily call. Well, try. He also talked about it on Tucker's interview, which was a good interview,

yeah,

did you see it? Did you see the whole thing?

No, I did not. But I know about the situation, and since she's she's already bitched about the fact that he's joined forces with Trump. What's going on here?

What do you mean? Well, she's

first. She says that she told him that, you know, he didn't want to talk to Trump because it would upset her. She's no, no, no, go ahead talk to him. So he talks to Trump, and they make a deal. And next thing you know, he's he's on the Trump you know,

this position, this is so interesting. We had a dinner last night with some of the some of our friends who who now actually think that the part of RFK is played by JFK. JR, yeah, but, but they said the first thing because, you know, we sit down. We haven't seen him for a couple weeks. Sit down there. He's a plant. He's a plant. RFK, Jr's a plant. He's there to ruin everything, as is Tulsi. So, which is what you're implying? Well, okay, you're implying that he's a, you know, I know he's

not, but he's not a plan. He's, I think Cheryl, I've, we've felt that he, she may be his handler, he, we know it's a daughter in law. I think that's a CIA person.

Oh, yeah,

Tulsi is, I think she's in the 321 or she's in some group, which is a intelligence intelligence operation. Well,

let's recall that RFK Jr said he wanted to clean. Not the CIA. And so we have the uncle Don old school CIA, and then we have the woke nut job CIA. But I think it goes much deeper. I mean, much much deeper. Just, you know, I've been reflecting on this, and you know, the title of the show is no agenda. But at this point, all the wickedness and these, these nasty, horrible people, just they're, they're
narcissistic psychopaths. They really are psychopaths, psychopaths, and they've turned our country into a robber's den. I mean, the whole everything here, just this is how it works, all the way down the line. So my, my other stepdaughter, is coming in for my birthday, which is very nice. She's coming in from Chicago. And so she texts Tina this morning. Says, Oh man, the TSA is now looking you know, you have, you get that picture
taken in the TSA line. Now you can opt out of it, but of course, most people don't, and if you're if the picture that they take of you does not match the picture on your ID, you're taken out of the line. This is new, and people are freaking out about it, even though it's supposed to be a test, and you don't have to do it. And this is and by the way, I hate the game, not the players, because we have plenty of TSA agents, and I'm
sure they're just as annoyed by this. TSA just tweeted the other day randomly because it hasn't come up for at least nine or 10 months. The tweet reads, peanut butter is a liquid. We said what we said? It

was a whole segment on the on the gut felt show about this

screw, these people Screw this, all of it, but there's a liquid screw, the higher rationale, yeah, okay, yeah. I mean, yes, I've seen the rationale for but it's beyond this. Beside the point. This stems back to 2007 when a couple of nut jobs had some things that they never actually mixed and never exploded on the

plane, yeah, well, that's like the shoe bomber, same thing, yeah, from

firecrackers in his heel. You know. Meanwhile you got people fighting on airplanes, beating on each other and punches beating on each other. It's, it's time to clean this up. And I, I choose to believe RFK Jr. I choose to believe that he is 70 years old. And he says, Hey, I think I can save some kids. And I'm all for it, because in 10 years, I'm going to be 70, there's going to be no one left for Social Security and Medicare is going to be done. There'll be no one
working that will have no more kids. I know you may not care anymore, but I care. I don't care

anymore. Close the hatch.
Close the hatch behind us.

So the that's funny. So the possibility that the two of them coming in, two strong characters with a fan base,

and at Tulsi, I think she's Yeah, no,

I say the two of them. Oh, yeah, okay.

I said

the two of them coming in, Tulsi and and Kennedy, both with some sort of intelligence connections, may be there to keep Trump from doing the screw ups that he's done in the past, which like hallelujah, yes, exactly, hiring Your your buddy Burks,

my buddy. Oh, now it's my buddy. Okay, oh, Fauci

and people and people like John Kelly. And I was looking into John Kelly, it's like, Bolton. How about Bolton? Oh, Bolton. Late in the game, God, Bolton. By the time Bolton came around, you think he'd have a clue. So

this whole op, that is Kamala Harris, which it is. And of course, the media loves this. Look at all the polls, neck and neck. She's a little above Trump. We've got a horse race. People advertise now. It's like, oh, okay,

advertise now spend your money. We don't want to see anything left in the coffers. We're the media,

and you can't all of it. All media is now no good, and we'll get to telegram in a moment. But I need some of your historic knowledge for this. Eric PP, who's one of the developers on podcasting 2.0 he sent me a documentary, and it's called, Let me see. It's called the ball of confusion, and it's about the 1968 DNC. And of

course, now there's a lot of a lot I may have seen this documentary Well, brings about. These

are very short clips, but I just want to get your historic knowledge, because Hubert Humphreys was, of course, there at the DNC in. And where's Hubert Humphrey where was Hubert Humphreys from Minnesota? Exactly. So listen to what Hubert Humphrey was talking about back then in 1968 at the DNC, he was
a real optimist in politics, and he called it the politics of joy. And if ever there was a phrase that didn't fit 1968 it was that here we are the way politics ought to be in America, the politics of happiness, the politics of purpose and the politics of joy. And that's the way it's going to be to all the way from here on out. He believed in the Johnson domestic policies. His conundrum was Vietnam.

So very similar. You know, this is history not repeating, but rhyming right down to, well, this blew me away. So of course, we had Nixon in, not at the DNC, obviously, but Nixon in the race. Let's just replace Nixon right now for Trump in this clip,
the charge against Nixon was he couldn't win. George Romney withdrew before the first primary in New Hampshire. Rockefeller didn't amount to much, so he was really running against himself. One of the things that now is almost an accepted fact is that Nixon had a quote, secret plan to end the Vietnam War. That he had uttered these words, he never said them. The story, as I understand it, is that Rockefeller told a reporter that Nixon's running around saying he has a secret
plan, and the reporter reported it in Nixon's mouth. And for years, Nixon sought to dispel that, said he never said it. Now that sounds

a lot like Judy Woodruff saying, oh, Trump told Netanyahu to keep it going so that he could stop the war.

Right? Which he had to walk back, which he

had to walk back. But then this clip makes it even more interesting. In the context of Trump and Bibi Netanyahu,
we now know that Richard Nixon had asked Anna Chennault, who was the chairman of the Republican women, for Nixon to be a back channel to the South Vietnamese to encourage them not to participate in peace talks in Paris under the Lyndon Johnson administration, because they would get a better deal with the Richard Nixon administration if, in fact, Richard Nixon played a hand in curtailing the peace talks in Paris. There's no doubt that that's a violation of the
Logan Act. And the Logan Act essentially prevents American citizens from getting in the way of American foreign policy. It is essentially treason. Now, Nixon, even though he was a former vice president, was a private citizen at that time, so he would have been covered by the Logan Act. LBJ was furious. Contacting a foreign power in the middle of war, and it's a damn bad mistake. When he heard what Nixon's people at least were doing and
what Mrs. Chenault was doing, he was deeply angry. He wanted to expose Nixon, but realized that if he did so would be obvious that he knew because of illegal wiretapped.

I just love this. So that's exactly what
I think about a den of thieves.

Yes, yeah. So you know, perhaps Trump is being wiretapped at Mar a Lago. Judy Woodruff hears about it, you know, she thinks it's from Axios, because the old bag can't remember. Sorry to be ageist about it. And everyone's like, Oh, we can't let anybody know that we actually know what's going on. Yeah,

well, they wiretapped him at Trump Tower, and they made a big fuss about the fact that only we didn't, even though it turned out that they did, and it was discovered that they did, but they denied it. This is ridiculous.

And then this, this one, of course, this is what LBJ did seven days before the election.
I have now ordered that all air, naval and artillery bombardment of North Vietnam cease.

Yeah, that would be perfect for just say, sounds like Joe, even you ordered Israel stop bombing. And my, how, think this is the last one. My, how things have changed since the DNC of 1968 when reporters were actually there, reporting on protests and what was going on. And this is a famous clip. I'd forgotten all about it. This is Dan, rather, who was trying to report on protests inside the DNC Mayor
Daley really did have. Wounds in that convention hall, and any delegate who got out of line or started indicating that he or she was going to dissent, generally speaking, was either shown the door or was beaten up. Take your hands off of me unless you intend to arrest me. Don't. Don't push me, please. But don't push me. Take your hands off him, even unless you in arrest me. Wait a minute. Wait a
minute. Walter, as you can see, I'm sorry to be out of bed, but somebody belt him in his stomach doing that. What happened is a Georgia delegate, at least he had a Georgia delegate sign on. Was being hauled out of the hall. We tried to talk to him to see why, who he was, and what the situation was, and at that instant, the security people, well, as you can see, put me on the deck. I didn't do very well. I think we've got a bunch of thugs here. Dan,

so you know, contrast that with the 2024 DNC, where people hold up aside, there's no reporting on it from the mainstream, only someone who happened to have a cell phone and because they got the thugs in there, everyone's under control. Shut up, shut up and play along. This is the game. We're all in. It joy. It's joy, people, the politics of joy.

Yeah, you know, John chancellor was also beat up at the at the who was John Chancellor. He was a very famous correspondent. I think he was on NBC. There was a good, yeah, there were that report of from what, rather, was one of many. And they were out there reporting, and they were actually doing a real job of it, as opposed to today, where you just have a bunch of, in fact, what they what the Democrats did in this convention was bring in a bunch of influencers, yes, yes, crawling with them, yes,

yeah. It's, it's modern political warfare. So I kept looking for joy. And there is a joy, yeah, because

she's on MSNBC.

Oh, joy. Joy now kept looking for the politics of joy, and this, these things just happened in the past four months.
Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign is being propelled by the Black joy movement, which emphasizes celebrating Black humanity beyond trauma and oppression, and this has resonated deeply with her supporters in the face of political challenges and racial identity debates. Yes,

this is the black joy. There's even an exhibit in Tennessee. We only
seem to truly focus on black people's trauma, and while that is valid, while that is important, and while that needs to be studied, so does our joy, highlighting and showcasing our ability and our audacity to find joy in spite of everything that has been thrown at us, is something that we should not only celebrate but honor.

And of course, we had a black joy Parade, which you and I missed. What is black joy?
Black joy is the joy of not only being black, but just the culture that comes with this black joy, to me, means the ability to express yourself authentically. Us. Being able to come here is super important for the children, for the seniors, for everybody in between. We're bringing Oakland to the world. This is what we're like on everyday basis. But we want everybody to see the black joy that we have
we don't spend enough time celebrating ourselves. We don't spend enough time just like basking in our own glory, if you will.

So it's all subversive. We should all be basking in our own glory.
It's all subversive.

These people don't spend enough time. Adam, basking glory. No, we

should do that more often on weekends? Oh, no, we work on weekends. This is this whole campaign, the media, the entire administration, all of all of the agencies. I mean, I don't know if we can ever, if we can ever reset all of this, but man, what a bunch of jag offs, all of them. It's all just corrupt and narcissists and sociopaths, psychopaths and sociopaths, they're crazy and crazy, I tell you,

and it's being seems to be being. It's encouraged by social media.

Yes, yes, it is. And

I and I'm part of it. You are. I mean, I admit to it, yeah. I mean, I'll take a look at these, these tick tock, mainly, yes, these psychos that are on tick tock with their, you know, guys that pretend to be women or want to be women, or think they're women or whatever, and they're all made up and they're ugly. It's not like they're attractive women. They're very genuine, they're very demure. They're not even
demure, they're psychotic. And there's something compelling about watching a psychotic person rant about something I don't know what it is. It's like I. Why is this person even available to to do this? Is they should be, literally, it's locked up. They should be in an institution. Well,

it's, it's, it's part of the program, though. I mean, the fact that it's all out there to such a degree, and the algos are bringing it to you clearly, because the only time I see any of this stuff is when you post it. So the algos are tuned they're fine tuned into you. They

got it, man. Look at this guy. He's gonna push all this crazy stuff. He's nuts. They're

completely tuned into you now. So, and I think I'm gonna change my thinking

before you continue with this thesis, they're not tuned into me so much because I don't even have an account. It's people sending them to me. I link to I look at that, and then once I'm on that, looking at one psycho, the algorithm then gives me another psycho. Well, I'm just, I'm just talking about, but I'm not part I'm not being targeted. But

on X, I think you are, and you have an account on X, your post, you're reposting this stuff on X, I don't know what you're doing on tick tock. I mean, tick tock. I mean, I can't get on to I just, I refuse, because I know what will happen. Oh, this is great. Sucked in. Get sucked in. It gets sucked in. So I think I'm going to change my opinion, or my my original thesis on this telegram thing. And I know you have two clips. Let me just do this. Do this background or see if it lines up with you.
Telegram Founder Pavel Durov has been put under formal investigation and released under judicial supervision of allegations his messaging service is being used for illegal activities. Allegations include that the platform is being used for child sexual abuse, material, drug trafficking, fraud and abetting organized crime transactions. Earlier this week, President Emmanuel Macron denied political motivations were at play. It is up to the judiciary and full independence to enforce the
law. The arrest of the President of telegram on French soil took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation. It is in no way a political decision. It is up to the judges to rule on the matter, but the Kremlin claims otherwise, saying Durov detention caused shock throughout the world so media, but it seems to me that, well, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the whole world experienced a greater shock than ever before from the actions of representatives of the collective West
following durovs arrests. Telegram said in a statement that it abides by EU laws and its moderation is within industry standards. Jorov is banned from leaving France due to the investigation, so

whenever a statement comes out saying this is not political, it's political, but why? Pavlov is not a politician. So, and I admit freely, I'm somewhat influenced by the interview that Mike Benz did with Tucker, which I which I watched yesterday. Are you familiar with Mike Benz?

We've familiar with Mike Benz, but I did not see this interview. You have a clip, I don't

have a clip, and I have a question. What does Mike bends do for a living? That's my question, because he seems to be everywhere, telling everybody exactly how the State Department works and how the blob works. But how does he make money? He's everywhere, but, you know, he, does he have a lot of ads? Or, you know, does he I just, that's just the question that no one seems to be asking. So you just asked it. We should find out?
Yeah, I hope to find out. So the thinking, and by the way, it's also influenced by this email from one of our producers, who talks about the privacy features of Telegram, which turns out, is not as great as I thought it was. Aha, yeah. So the early I'm going to read verbatim here, the early team, I felt that it was
always full of holes. But, oh, it's worse than you think. The early team behind the start of Telegram, led by Nikolai Durov, that's pablo's Brother, I think, consists of six ACM champions, half of them PhDs in math, but they're not cryptographers. Of course, there's only a handful of really good cryptographers in the world, probably instead of using known standards like PGP or GPG that are well tested, they created their own encryption standard. Here we go, and our boots on the ground.
Dude named Ben says there are weak parts in it that will not surprise you if some three letter agency might have compromised the telegram security. Another big red flag is that, by default, the encryption of messages is not on. Turning it on is only possible in a chat to another person. You have to you have to actively select that you want this encrypted. So there's no encryption in channels or groups, which is the main use of telegram. There's no encrypt.
Impossible in channels or groups only, the secret chats are encrypted. And of course, most people start, I think they've changed it now, but most people have started their account with your own mobile phone number, which is why you don't which is why you don't have a telegram account, and all of the photos and files you share are all stored on their closed source
servers for an unlimited time, also unencrypted. So this is a beautiful system, and I think it's very possible this is what Mike Benz was saying that the Russians, either they have access to the encrypted stuff, or, you know, they have some other access. And this is hurting the use of telegram by Ukrainians, which is, you know, almost everybody in Ukraine is using telegram because telegram is what you use, or used to use when you started some kind of color revolution. Pay, a couple
of guys in Germany, we saw that. But was it the Belarus uprising? I think the two guys in Germany are managing the telegram channel well, that's suspicious, and that this is why they want to try and get to Pavel, because this is one of the last systems that the agencies and the State Department have to control revolutions and get people all riled up, not by subverting their messages necessarily, but by using it as the main it comes across as trustworthy. So I think this is where we need to
have a hard look at Elon Musk, not Elon himself. I mean, I've never liked him. You know, he's like, Oh, freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of speech. But he isn't actually running X, that's Linda yacorino.

Well, before you continue, let's play my two door off clips. Okay, just about the arrest. These are generalized. There's not anything just I just want to get him out of the way.
In France, I'm sorry. In France, authorities have issued preliminary charges against telegram CEO Pavel dura for allegedly allowing illegal activities on his social media platform. He's been released from custody on bail, but is not allowed to leave France. Durov was arrested on Saturday at a Paris airport as part of an investigation that opened last month. Russia, born dorave, is also a French citizen.
Allegations against him include allowing his platform to be used in connection with child sexual abuse, drug trafficking, fraud and organized criminal activities. French prosecutors also alleged that telegram refused to share information or documents with investigators when required by law. French media, AFP reports that Durov is also under investigation for, quote, serious violence against one of his children in Paris. Oh,

I hadn't heard this part that's interesting. A little twist, serious. Oh, so that so that's the that's the leverage. Pavel, you serious violence against one of your kids. Pavel, look at this picture. Pavel, What's that in your mouth? Pavel, part two,
After durovs arrest, Telegram issued a statement saying, quote, It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform. Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of x, who has called himself a free speech absolutist, has been speaking out in support of Durov and posted hashtag free. Pavel,

yeah, you know. So it seems to me that a guy whose main source of income is the US government could possibly be compromised to create a great free speech platform that now can be used instead of telegram. And I'm not saying that Elon himself is behind it, because if anyone is running that place, not for advertising success, because we know that's not working, it's yakarino, who is a total mainstream Insider. NBC Universal, started the peacocks, was part of the peacock
streaming service team Ad Council. She actually was in the Trump administration didn't know this, the President's Council on sports, fitness and nutrition. Why? Why?

Why I know that either that's kind of obscure, and

this is the best part. She has a twin sister, the old twin sister bit now she's the one that keeps saying, freedom of speech, not freedom of reach, so maybe she has her fingers on the dial, you know. And amidst all of this, all of a sudden we got Zuckerberg going
Facebook. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged being pressured by the Biden administration to censor content
during the pandemic in a letter to the House Judiciary. Jury committee, Zuckerberg says senior administration officials pushed the company to censor certain posts about covid on Facebook and Instagram. Zuckerberg saying, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction, and we're ready to push back if something like this
happens again. Zuckerberg also said he regrets hiding content about Hunter Biden before the 2020 election, including information about Biden's laptop after the FBI warned it may have been Russian disinformation, and

we just need to play a nice little supercut reminding us how the M 5m treated us, the citizens, their customers, or really were their product about the Hunter Biden laptop. Never forget.
Obviously we're not going with the New York Post story right now on Hunter Biden. This is really one of the stupidest October surprises I've ever seen. It helps to really view this as storytelling, not so much as news coverage, but as political entertainment. NPR explained, we don't want to waste our time on stories that
are not really stories. Who even thought to make that story up, a story that many intelligence experts say has all the hallmarks of a foreign interference campaign looks like it's tied to Vladimir Putin in Moscow. This is a Russian intelligence disinformation campaign, foreign intelligence operation, foreign intelligence operation, Russian intelligence. Rudy Giuliani was not fed passively Russian disinformation. He
ordered off the menu. This is a classic example of the right wing media machine, and he's in the midst of a scandal. He's not taking we should note Hunter Biden isn't running for president. That argument has been debunked. There is no evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong. For all we know these emails are made up. It just lacks credibility. Okay, start doing that. Bearing No, we're not going to do your work for you. Sorry.

The main player in there was Stelter at least three times. And then, of course, Morning Joe jumps in. These guys, of course, stelters out. But these guys are so corrupt at MSNBC, CNN, all of them. John, all of them, yes, but not to the extreme. Come on. The extreme that you get when you go to MSNBC is off the scale, at least they fake it a little bit. At the other networks, again, I blame Brian Right Blane Roberts, the guy who runs Comcast. He's the guy behind the whole thing. Anyway,

it appears to me that Elon may not have his fingers on the knobs, and that yakarino is the one we need to be looking at. I'll give I'll give Elon the benefit of the doubt. But you know, he did buy Twitter for $44 billion banks can't unload this debt. They've got $17 billion worth of debt, which they want to sell for 30 cents on the dollar, because that's what the debt is now valued at. So you know why? Oh, just because you have money and you believe in free speech. Maybe, maybe. Well,

another thing is, I wonder how much of Elon's money, this is because there's a lot of Saudi money. It's

not that's the point everybody has influence in this thing.

That's my that would account for the fact you'd have somebody else come in and actually Elon being a front man,

yes, yeah. And, and it's always great. It's always great when they're making fun of the other team until it switches. You know? I mean, it's like, it's always great when they censor the bad guy stuff, but when they turn around and use the same tools on you, then it's not going to be so good. So I'm just saying we need to be wary of that, and that the only
place left for true free speech is podcasting. I knew you were no I was getting there and and listen to and so now they're this is the psyop that's been going on for a long time, and came to a head again this week, pod is dead. Podcasting evolved away from Apple towards YouTube. Oh, it's the everyone watches podcasts on YouTube. It's only YouTube. They are trying so hard, and to a degree, succeeding, at convincing everybody that podcasting is dead. It's only YouTube. Now, I
haven't heard this at all. Well, I'm in the business. I'm in the business. Well, I'm

in the business too,

but you're not in the business. No,

I'm not running a whole

infrastructure system.

But yes,

and, and, you know, and I would be okay if they, I mean, they should at least offer to compromise me. I'm a little disappointed by that. Yeah, where's the money? I don't know. The podcast index is, is truly an, oh, man, so many these, a lot of these hosting companies are in on it. I Not a lot, some of them.

I mean, it's, it's, you know, in the corruption, yeah,

I believe so, yeah. Yeah, I

believe so you're probably right. You, like you said, you take it down,

take it down. Take it down. Oh yeah, there's some taken down going on. They've already got, you know, Spotify, for sure, because, you know Spotify, they've got section 230 This is why Zuckerberg, I think, is trying to cut bait and like, oh, well, you know, Trump's gonna get in, so I might as well say hey, you know, because they cleared his letter clearly says they coerced us under a, you know, threat of Section 230 cue the ex Facebook people going out and doing interviews.
It was peak covid and peak debate about what was right or wrong information, and the White House openly pressured tech companies to moderate the conversation. We don't take anything down. We don't block anything. Our point is that there is information that is leading to people not taking the vaccine, and people are dying as a result, and we have a responsibility as a public health matter to raise that
issue. Zuckerberg says he now believes the government pressure was wrong, and he's ready to push back if it happens again. Do you believe that Facebook is trying to suppress certain types of information? No, I don't. Katie horbath is Facebook's former Director of Public Policy and left in the spring of 21 is this a former censorship what he described, he makes clear that they made their own decisions about this content. I think that's really important. All of the platforms did.
She argues that Zuckerberg admission is an example of walking a fine line at a time of court challenges to tech companies over content moderation and regulation threats. I think this is consistent with meta wanting to pull back from politics and news overall, and very much trying to stay out of this political fray this time, meaning while the letter may say one thing, social media's relationship status with Congress remains complicated,

let me clarify on the hosting companies. What I learned is that a lot of these so called platforms, like Spotify, Apple as well, Amazon and iHeart, tune in if you want your podcast there. It's not just like you put out your RSS feed and then they say, Oh, I'm going to put this in. No, your hosting company automatically opts you into their terms of service, which is exactly why we're not on Spotify, because they had Terms of Service like, I'm not going to sign any terms
of service. So that's how the minute something happens that that is not liked by the system. They cannot just go to the hosting company and say, pull the plug Terms of Service. Violation done, you're out by per episode or per feed itself.

So there's and the problem, of course, is that with something like Spotify, and people started saying, listening to our podcast on Spotify idiots, idiots, but you don't, but, but let's say that we're a Spotify podcast. And what would happen is that there'd be so many people gravitating toward that. Then once they pull the plug on us, they would have they'd be like fish out of the water, you know, flapping
around. Where are we going to go? I don't know. And then you'd forget about the podcast, you'd never find it someplace else, and then you're done, it's done, and you're done, the podcast is ruined. Yeah, yeah. You have to have do your own it has to have a home base that's outside of these systems,

you know? And now, when I signed up, I don't hate even I don't think my login even works anymore on Apple, but the Apple also had Terms of Service. I don't know if that. I'm sure it has changed since covid. A lot changed during covid. So to bring it all back around, there's not a lot of places, if any, that we can really trust for freedom of speech, because you may think that you're, you know, you're in the Bozo filter. You know, Linda yakarino may be dialing you down, isn't and
certainly YouTube, oh yeah, get everybody on YouTube. That's where podcasts are great. Use a modern podcast app, people, one that uses the index podcast apps.com so we will see what happens to Pavel, but, but I would say that the longer they keep him, although he's out on 5 million euro bail, can't leave France, I would say that it's going to become less trustworthy for everybody. And then where do you go? Signal literally takes money from the US government. Us well, NGOs that are funded by
the US government. So no, you know WhatsApp, which is a Facebook product or, yeah, a meta product? No. So the control system is closing in on us, and meanwhile, we're just. Here live in Val living the value for value, life with no impact whatsoever. We have no impact just we have

no impact. We have we don't have impact in a in a threatening sense. And why is that? We do have impact in a subversive sense. Ooh,

I like that explain.

Well, in other words, we are. We have a subtext to everything we do, which is truth, yes, and kind of truth and understanding, which is a big deal. In other words, figuring out what the news really means, who's behind it, what you just broke down with the yakarino woman and the twin. Yeah,

Elon may not know. Elon may think that he's talking to yakarino, but it's the twin.

And so that sort of thing gets into the public subconscious, and that has a subversive effect on the way people think about things, because they have some sort of realization that you wouldn't normally have, and it's nothing you can put really stamp out. It's just, it's subtle. And so that's what we do. That's why there's nobody really, that's where you like we don't appear to have influence. So

we're kind of like the Paul Revere of podcasting, we're just ringing the just ringing the bell. British are coming. We're just ringing the bell. We're the Minutemen. Okay, well, I'm happy. I'm happy that we're doing it. For sure, I'm happy and,

well this people are happy that we're doing

it, yeah, oh, yeah. And they, I don't care, and they do meetups. And, you know, people in the meetups like, what are they? What are they? Were these people may go stand over, what are they talking about? And they learn things. So we're a slow role. We're like, the molasses of influence,

molasses of subversion. Exactly,

I think I've figured out what. This is actually quite good. And it was predicted. It was we it was all over the place during covid, and we never really followed through on it. And I think that we're finally getting there. I'll start with this clip, just because you understand what the what the true evil is in our world. It's not viruses anymore. No, no, it's mosquitoes. Listen,
there's a lot going on, especially here in South Florida, where we already have experienced West Nile and dengue and Zika, and now we have this illness to concern ourselves with sloth fever, or sloth flu, is what it's sometimes called. Decades ago, researchers first investigating the virus found it in a sloth, and it was thought the animals helped spread the disease. You might have gotten it from a sloth that had been bitten by a Midge. You might not have you might
have gotten it from a Midge and bitten somebody else. Okay,

so mosquitoes, they add in midges because it's just funny, because it makes you think about So mosquitoes, and what creates mosquitoes, and this is the part that we stop thinking about
and to Healthwatch this morning, the mosquitoes are bad out there, and we're looking at new concerns over diseases spread by those mosquitoes. A New Hampshire man recently died from Eastern equine SF encephalitis I knew is going to screw that one up. It's a rare illness, no vaccine, no treatment. In Massachusetts, some towns, in response, are now spraying for mosquitoes and also urging people to stay inside in
the evening and nighttime when the mosquitoes are out. CBS News Medical contributor Dr Celine gounder asked the CDC director Mandy Cohen if climate change is affecting these kinds of outgrowths. You know, the impact of heat on our health and climate change is not only impacting us as humans, but it's changing where mosquitoes and ticks live, and thus what diseases are moving
around in different regions. We're just seeing more bugs, and some of those bugs are becoming resistant to our control methods due to climate change. That's

right, dude. We forgot all about this. They kept saying, Oh no, the next pandemic will come from climate change.
Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Equine means horses. We're not horses. What can you tell us about it? Why is it hurting people? Well, this is something that we see with many infectious diseases, that the host might be another animal, maybe a bat, which is what we suspect with covid, for example, or with Ebola. But in this case, what we think is happening is horses. Perhaps other animals are the host. Mosquitoes are biting them and then transmitting that infection to humans. And

what's better than mosquitoes? Because it's just as scary. I walked outside and saw mosquito I've got I've got to wear a hazmat suit to my pickleball game. Oh no, and it's all because of climate change. So
the CDC director Cohen talked about. Out the big factor of heat playing a significant role, and we know the CDC has said mosquitoes are the world's deadliest animal. What more can be done when it comes to addressing these issues, finding treatments and vaccines? Well, climate change is creating the right breeding ground for mosquitoes, so you have hotter, more humid, longer summers, which means people are coming into contact with mosquitoes
that much more and so therefore mosquito borne infections. What can we be doing? Well, the really most important thing is to be controlling the mosquitoes. So there are some traditional ways of doing that. You want to drain your standing water. You want to be spraying and there are some newer technologies there to control mosquitoes that don't involve
pesticides. Some of those are being piloted in place like the places like the Florida Keys, where you have lots of mosquitoes, but we still have a lot to go in terms of developing treatments or vaccines. Now,

let us all remind ourselves that it is Bill Gates, because, of course, wherever there's something nasty, there's the nasty man himself, Bill Gates, who was genetically modifying mosquitoes so they wouldn't reproduce. They don't talk about that right now, at least, I haven't found any clips. And in 2007 he was already talking about mosquitoes. Remember when he released mosquitoes into the TED conference illegally? Yes, and was like, arrested

on the spot. So

put all of that together, climate change bill gates, mosquitoes, and, you know, like that gets the in Massachusetts, and we played that clip on the last show, like, oh, you might want to stay inside, because, you know, climate change mosquitoes, Oh, no. And right.

Just as an aside, before you continue, there has been less and less mosquitoes in this area. We

have none ever. Yeah, I know

like and there's two things going on that have to be addressed with the mosquitoes. One, it's windier than usual, and when it's windier, the mosquitoes, once they get it, they are not a bug, that is, that can fly around in a wind. They just get blown to someplace else. They get blown away, and there's the end of them. And so we've had more wind than usual, which is that you could say, Well, climate change is causing winds. And if climate change is causing winds. The
winds are blowing away the mosquitoes. So there can't be more mosquitoes. There is a problem. That's a conundrum in in logic.

You drive these mosquitoes. You drive on the freeway right from time to I do drive, of course, I drive what? When's the you Well,

I can't get on the freeway. What are you talking about? Course I drive on the freeway, just

asking, because now the next the follow up question is, when's the last time you had to scrape bugs off of your windshield?

Excellent point. When I was a kid, we would drive down 99 or whatever to say to LA, we were doing, we're just driving anywhere. All you. Well, there's two things here. I've talked I thought about this too. Is they used to get so many just get the windshield be filled with bugs and so but, but the cars aerodynamics have changed so much that the bugs, like don't hit the windshield anymore. They go up and over. That's one supposed reason. But, well,

you have a 30 year old Lexus,

very aerodynamic car, but, but besides that, but it doesn't excuse the fact that the grills, right, which aren't as aerodynamic, don't have the bugs either, right? So there's something we don't have the flying insect problem we had, I'd say 50 years ago. No.

But even though this morning, it was 72 degrees in August in Texas, where my lawn is green, for the first time that I've lived in Texas for 15 years, somehow it's the hottest year on record. This
morning, record breaking heat spreading across more of the US. It's warmer than I like. It's a little hard to breathe. The higher temperatures a growing concern. As a new study shows, the number of related deaths in the US skyrocketed by 117% between 1999 and 2023, we saw more heat related deaths. Wait,

wait, yes, stop the clip. Do they give us actual numbers just went up 100% from one to two, but

we also have 100% more people homeless on the streets who may just be frying and dying.

There's that teen percent
between 1999 and 2023 we saw more heat related deaths in 2023 than we ever have in the 20 some years of records. And that's definitely still an undercount. More than 21,000 heat related deaths were reported over the last two decades. Scientists citing climate change. Wait, so what? Again,

it gets better at the end, if you're going to play this kind of garbage, and you get stopped. ABC says she if you're going to play a always becoming climate change. So if you're going to play this stuff, I have to interrupt. She said something very peculiar in there. She says, we have, don't get these numbers, but it's and we have this numbers more than ever before, and it's under counted. Yeah, how do you know it's under counted? If you never have these numbers? Because

it's a lie. This is all psychological warfare, and we're propagating it for free for them?

Well, no, we're actually, I think we're counter propagating. We are, we are, we are. But this, this, this notion that it's under counted. Wait until

you hear what she says, what he says at the end 20
some years of records, and that's definitely still an undercount.

Definitely. It's not just definitely, definitely under it's definitely

that give us the real count? Lady, more than 20? No, it's an undercount. It's definitely an undercount. What is the real number? Then you should be able to do it.

She's not going to tell you. It's not interactive that way. She can't hear by

the way, did she ever give actual numbers? Percentages? 117%
more than 21,000. Heat related deaths were reported over the last two decades. Scientists citing climate change, the weather so hot after starting their first day of school yesterday, students at 63 public schools in Philadelphia will be sent home early today and tomorrow. Do not have air in our cafeteria, in our auditorium. Schools, also,

there's no air, there's
no air, no air. I

think she means air conditioning, but yeah, we'll do the Dvorak. What? No oxygen, no air. Here, in
our cafeteria, in our auditorium, some schools in Iowa also dismissed early due to high temps and no AC. At seven o'clock, it

was already 86 or 87 degrees. Oh no, by the time I leave at one, it'll be in the 90s. Why this is considered good weather 87 it's beautiful. If people go to Hawaii just to be in 87 degree weather. It's called, now you're dying from it. It's called Summer
in Detroit, students will be sent home early again today, frustrating parents. They knew the weather was going to be rather hot, and they know they don't have accommodations in a school to where they're providing AC, the heat fueling more calls to invest federal funds and outfitting more schools with AC. The extreme heat continues for several days. Triple digits are possible in Nashville today, and Chicago could set a record. I've

been to Chicago before this climate change, and it could set

a wet record, but it's not going to but wait, it gets better. I lived in Chicago. Yeah, it's hot and humid. It's terrible in the summer. Listen

to listen to the the last numerical statistics. You'll love it with
feel like temperatures in parts of the Midwest, reaching one. Did you hear it?

I, you know, I was watching this with Jay the other day. Feels like, feels like now. Feels like, it feels like

now. It's just feels like temperature. Yeah, it feels

like temperature. It feels like, oh. And then they here's the worst part, they put a map up and they put all these temperatures up, but they weren't temperatures at all. They were all feels like, yes, so you had 115 110, and it was just a map of all these very high temperatures, but none of them were real. They're all feels like yes, and you could feel well right now. Let me think right here in the in the podcasting room, it feels like 200 degrees. Well, maybe I
should take this shirt off. It feels like 200 degrees. No,

don't take the shirt off. Whatever you
do people? Digits are possible. In Nashville today and Chicago could set a record with feel like temperatures in parts of the Midwest reaching 115 degrees. As for that study on heat related deaths, researchers say the uptick has been especially high in the last seven years, which scientists say proves the impact of climate change. Climate change.

It's all due to climate change. Oh,

the last seven years. And by because it's happened in the last seven years, not the last 1 million years, by the way, but the last seven years proves it. Proves it because it's gone on for seven years, supposedly gone on for seven years, you don't even know that to be true. Yeah.

So the got the hot weather, it's moisture. We also have corn sweat. I didn't pull the clip, but that's another new one. What's corn sweat? Corn sweat is, you know, when it gets warm, then every every living plant exudes moisture. Her. And so they show a map and like, Oh, look at this in the in the corn region, it's various very bad mosquitoes because of corn sweat.

You guys, you blew it. Didn't get that clip?

Well, I can actually find it for you. No, don't

worry about it. I already gave away the punchline here, corn

sweat. Let me say Scientific American. Here we go, corn sweat and climate change brings sweltering weather to the Mideast. A heat wave is

sweat. So it's corn sweat that's bringing the weather. Is that what it said? Yeah,
there's a reason why this map of corn production looks so similar to this map of heat risk in the US today. And the answer heat risk, another

good one, John,

that's a show title, heat risk
in the US today. And the answer is, corn sweat. Yes, corn sweat. Corn sweat is a truly excellent term for something that's really known as evapotranspiration. It's something that, oh,

evapotranspiration. This is why I didn't pull the clip, because it's not a news clip. It's some, some peachy thing talking inspiration.
It's something that all plants do. It's releasing water into the atmosphere when it grows to regulate temperature. But corn does this especially well, and where there's lots and lots and lots of corn grown, like in the Midwest, it actually has a measurable impact on the humidity of the area.

Corn sweat. I think that's the show title right there. Corn sweat. I'm agreeing. Corn sweat. So man, we just just making it up as we go along. What can what can we sigh up these idiots with now on a corn sweat? Oh, good one. And you know what comes from corn sweat mosquitoes, and what comes from mosquitoes, sloth fever and Zika and dengue and dengue, yeah, and sloth fever and Equine Encephalitis. Yeah, which way, there's

11 cases a year on average, every year, year in and year out. There's one so far, which I think is, let's just get that out of the

way, which I think is treatable with ivermectin, I believe could be Yeah. So it's weird, and they're just, it's building it's a strategy of tension. Just build it up. Build it up. Build it up. Oh, think of the children there. Why don't the children? Why do the schools not have air conditioning? We spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on stupid books and and stupid books, stupid books, really stupid books that
go into the schools, dumb books. Oh, my first blow job at 12. But we don't have AC for these children, by Bill Clinton, by the way. Oh, we need to stop this.

Schools have AC. Yes,

not the ones in the report, not in Chicago, apparently, not in Chicago. Did you go to school when you lived in Chicago?

I did, of course. Did

they have air conditioning? I don't remember. Did they have heating in the winter? You'd hope they would. Boy, you

have to have heating in the winter. Yeah, it's cold too. Yeah, Chicago's got is, got extreme climate, yes, always has, though, it gets super cold in the winter, yeah, and miserable. And it get and miserable, yeah, and, and it gets extremely hot and muggy in the summer, and there's a good period of time, there's probably, uh, four months out of the year just before summer, and just after summer works. Really super nice. It's so nice, yeah,

oh the so nice. That's it. You get 44

months out of the year that comes from Chicago. Ridiculously Nice. Yeah,

there's always been, but she didn't hear about corn sweat because she grew up in Indiana. Never heard of corn sweat, strangely enough. Yeah, yeah. Well, there we go. All right. Back to you, Bob.

Well, what else we got here? You know, I want to get this out of the way. I didn't want to get these clips, but I'm going to do them. This is about Jack Smith and re rejiggering. Oh, good, yeah, yeah. This is good. I didn't want to get them, but it turns out that there's interesting material in here. This is I got four it's four parter. It was an analysis. So it turns out to be a lot more than I wanted. But it's all short. I mean, I wanted eclipses 13 seconds, so it's not
gonna kill anybody. Good. So let's go with Jax. And this is all from NTD. This is mt d, so the Democratic
Congressman Jamie Raskin called the superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump heroic and something quietly heroic about Jack Smith insisting on going forward to make sure that this plot come to light, Donald Trump tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. So Jack Smith is trying to make the law work in the way it was intended to,

wow, that's exactly right. He's trying to make the law work,

trying to trying to make the law work.

He just admits it. He's just finagling everything to try and squeeze it into the law to make it work. All right.

Jamie Raskin is a dick.

Jamie Raskin is a problem. He's, he's a he is, I'd say, top of the list of people we need to get out of there.

Yeah, he's a terrible person. He's a Yeah, and he looks evil. If you look at him. He's just an evil looking guy. Yeah, and, and he's like, all in he has this theory that it is, I don't have the clip on this list, but he came out with saying we're gonna not let Trump take office if he wins. Yes, yeah. He said

we're gonna have to have a Secret Service protection for everybody in Congress, because we're gonna get him out and, you know, basically saying we'll have a civil war, but we'll be protected.

Yes, I heard that clip. Basically, is what he said, exactly. Yeah, that's what he said. He is a very horrible he's a horrible man. Okay, part two,
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson posted on social media that Donald Trump continues to be the most
persecuted politician in the history of the US. Speaker Johnson added that special counsel Jack Smith has brought yet another bogus indictment, and that Americans are sick of his corruption and shameless law fair, Democratic Congresswoman soy lovbren from California aimed her criticism at the Supreme Court's ruling last month on presidential immunity and blamed former President Donald Trump for the events of January 6 Supreme Court made really a radical decision granting Trump
immunity. Bizarre case, the judge has to have an evidentiary hearing to find out what is the evidence supporting the slimmed down indictment. But I mean, one thing is abundantly clear, the former president summoned a mob to Washington.

Who was that speaking?

Our local idiot, Zoe Lofgren,

oh, Zoe is still around. Isn't? Was wasn't Zoe a trans

No, no.

I think of someone. Else. She

just looks child. She's an ugly woman. Oh, they're

so judgmental.
Well, well,

we're handsome, luckily. Well,

that's what we do for this. No, we're not.

Yes, we are. You

can make a judgment about somebody being ugly when they're ugly. I mean, I don't think there's any reason not to make this judgment.

I'm with you. I'm glad you said it.

You know, I've never been condemned for that.

People are afraid of you, and they can't spell your last name, so they don't know how to email you. They email me instead. Okay, so

we go, we now we get to hear something that you may have heard elsewhere. Let's go to clip three. Senator
and vice presidential candidate JD Vance defended the Supreme Court's ruling regarding presidential immunity and dismissed the superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump as election interference. The way that I think about it is try to make this nonpartisan Barack Obama ordered drones to strike an American citizen in Yemen. That's like the definition of murder, unless you recognize the President has some immunity in conducting his official act.

There's Vance doing the translation, doing his job,

but he does, does it well. And the fact is that nobody keep he's the first guy noticed that really brought it up, which is that Obama, if you didn't have this immunity decision by the Supreme Court would be Obama would be liable for murder. And the only thing Vance didn't do is bring up the fact that, after murdering the American citizen, he murdered his son a few days later. Yeah. Well, you know that innocent 16 year old kid drinking a coffee, drinking a coffee mind his own
business, but no, that's okay. That's good. That's good. All right, I'm onward. It
is important to note that despite criticism against Special Counsel investigations against former President Donald Trump, House Republican leadership has decided not to pursue the strategy of defunding the Department of Justice through the appropriations process. What

Wait, this is the reason I ended with this clip was, this is the typical Republicans, and they've been doing this, and they do it and do it. Holly just did it with a by bringing on one

showboat, and then nothing happens,

yeah? Showboat, in fact, she he actually, for all practical purpose. He had gray, I don't have the clip, but he had Granholm, yeah, and he's get lecturing her about how she lied. Wait a minute, she lied to Congress. Where is the indictment for lying to now, if it was a Republican in. In the olden days, and a Democrat was the Democrats are running Congress. They indict them. Yeah, they're lying to Congress. They're much

better at that stuff. More to do. You just send

the indictment through. They won't do it. They just keep harassing them, haranguing them and making them looking good by being a showboat or like Holly, and then you do nothing. You do absolutely nothing. These Republicans are ridiculous. I would have

more respect for Holly if you just said, Hey, Grant home, you're ugly and you got big ears. I'd have respect for him if you said that. No, she's

not. She's not. I wouldn't call her ugly. No. Okay, so

I have tried, and I have some stuff here on this? Well, I

want to do this the last clip. This is the analysis just it was a long analysis. I only took I have part one, but I didn't clip anything else. Earlier,
we spoke with Zach Smith, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and former federal prosecutor, about the superseding indictment. Zach Smith, thank you so much for joining us. Great to have you back on the show. Now to begin what changes were made to this newest indictment, the original four charges haven't changed. So what's different here? Yeah, this is a little bit of an unusual situation for a
superseding indictment. A superseding indictment typically means that prosecutors are adding additional charges against a defendant, but that's not what Jack Smith did in this case, as you mentioned, Jack Smith left before original charges intact, but he essentially changed the factual predicates underlying those charges. For instance, he removed references to Donald Trump's conversations with Justice Department officials in the wake of the 2020 election.
He added some language to make clear that, in his view certain actions Donald Trump took in his private or political capacities rather than in his official capacity. And he also added some additional language relevant to some of the other charges, again, trying to emphasize that those were private rather than
official acts. And the reason Jack Smith took these actions, the reason he made these amendments is to try to get around the immunity that the US Supreme Court recently released, where the Court said that presidents, including Donald Trump, are immune from prosecution for actually taking their official capacity while in office.

So I have an analysis from our constitutional lawyer, Rob Rob, who read, who read everything, and I shall read this for us right now. It's relatively short. Under the SCOTUS ruling, the charges can't go forward unless Smith can show that the alleged conduct is either one, an unofficial Act, or two, an official act that doesn't fall within the outer perimeter of the President's official responsibility and is not manifestly or palpably beyond his authority. This is a
difficult burden for Smith to satisfy. The outer perimeter beyond his authority. Language captures a vast range of presidential conduct. This is all as per the Supreme Court, so it will be very likely, so it will very likely encompass the conduct alleged in the new indictment. To the extent it does, the courts must presume that Trump is immune, and Smith will have to overcome that presumption, according to rob, a
very tall order. And remember, there's still the lingering issue raised by Justice Thomas that Jack Smith appointment is invalid under Article two appointments clause, because there's no law that establishes Smith's office. If Trump wins the election, this case will die. DOJ doesn't prosecute
sitting presidents as a matter of policy. And one thing he says, Would you keep in mind, if the M 5m and Dames and Dems claim that this is a nail in Trump's coffin, they will have to simultaneously retreat from their incompatible claim that SCOTUS gave Trump total freedom to do whatever he does or whatever he wants to do. So this is really all this is. Is just a setup for questions during the debate. That's all that this is. That's why Trump immediately started fundraising off of it,
as witnessed by another 8 million text messages. Yeah, it's really just

so late. Yes, these are on a phone that you carry with you. For summary, you're carrying a phone around wherever you go.

It's just, it's just a text number. Yeah, so this is it's all just about this debate.

Can you call back, by the way, when they send you one of these messages? Let me see that's very calling. I would call them back. Say hello. You keep sending me these messages. You want to talk? That's

a very good question. Let me see this is an alert from Donald Trump. Okay, I was just indicted again. Please read my response to Special Counsel. No, I'm not going to read them to call him back. Let's see if I'm going to call and not in
service. Please check the number and dial again. Oh, it's

not a service. Let's try another one. Let's because I have a lot from President Trump. This is Donald Trump Jr. Let's call Junior. Let's see what Junior give

him a call, see what he says. To say,

oh, disconnected right away. Let me see from Trump, who's asking for $10 let's see and invalid number. Now this is all, wait a minute, it's a 213, number two. You're

giving getting phone calls, a message, phone calls, in other words, the message through a phone, and you call the number, and the number is bogus. Wait, here's this is. This is no different than a number from Taiwan, China, Philippines, India. Bombay, hey,

let's call Rand Paul. Let's see what he has to say. He's in Virginia. Oh, no. Oh, invalid number. Okay. Oh, gee. Isn't that crazy? Well, I can't even hang if

you can't call him back, why would you send him money? It sounds like you don't know who it is you're sending to. Could be anybody? Could be anybody?

Ah, yes, yes,

yes. Well, yeah, welcome to the modern era.

Yes, Hey, um, I got a interesting clip here from our from our buddy, Becky Worley, have you spoken to Becky recently?

No, I should have lunch with her. I usually, I used to have lunch with her once a year. Yeah, but she's in LA, isn't she? No, she used the peninsula, as far as I know, and then she moved. You

need to go up there. You need to go visit her and the kids.

It's not up, is down? Oh,

she go down there. Go down to Becky Worley, I've always liked Becky Worley. I mean, I, I always feel sad because she is nothing like the stupid reports they make her do. But she, you know, she's playing the game. She got kids and a wife and, you know, she's got a, yeah, she

is a She's a hard worker. She's good at what she does. She's always was behind. She was a producer. Originally, always behind. I first met her when she was MSNBC, when it was a different kind of network, and she was always the producer of shows. And then she but she had the look and feel of a person who had front of camera. She was good looking on camera. She's photo telegenic. She

is she's a little harsh in person, little more well, what is the that's not the right word harsh? Maybe it is the right word.

She's a good looking woman in person. Yes,

he's not like Jamie Raskin now,

but she's telegenic, and she's very good on the on the on the camera. I guess she's always felt that way. So she once she got then the other side of the camera. She stopped doing producing, from what I can tell, and she's she's good. I think she's very talented. She's personable.

Well, I think she is adding something to the hair and hookers report for the economy, and it's something I have not yet asked the Zoomer about. But I take this to be very credible luxury or
affordability, right? But what if you could have them both? That's the premise fueling a rise in Gen Z and millennials shopping for so called dupes instead of brand name goods. But what's the downside? As we all search for value this morning, influencers are touting so called dupes with pride. Don't go buy leggings for that much money when you can get these for half the price. It's the same product. It's the same it's the same thing.
It's always really fun to find a really great, affordable alternative to something, because you're helping your friends out, and you can tell them, like, hey, you've been using this, here's this. And then they can put more money towards bills instead of foundation and a path here has a series on our socials where she breaks down the active ingredients in high end products and shows less expensive options with the same components. So is everything that's highlighted in yellow here is also
highlighted in yellow here. Saving money on items is now becoming something that's a little bit in vogue. It's cool to be wearing something that is less expensive, but looks like the expensive brand. And Herzog, who wrote a book on counterfeit, says these so called do products are different from illegal knockoffs. A do product doesn't necessarily mean counterfeit. What it does mean is that it is a similar product, but less expensive than
the original product. When you're talking about a counterfeit item, you're talking about an item that's pretending to be like the original item, down to the name of the item. But experts do say buying these products brings up other issues worth considering. Dupes do not come with extended warranties. You have a very specific time that you need to return that in. This

is, this is what the shop influencers are doing. And let's just face it, everything comes from China here, everything we buy in America, pretty much. Everything comes from China, and you can get the exact same product, and they're not talking about brands like Gucci, but everything else from the from the makeup products, which I looked it up the Amazon influencer program. Number one is games, online games. You can
get 20% VIG on the games. Right after that, it's beauty and makeup products, which is a big deal on the Instagram, as you know, all the makeup tip influencers. And I think that this is an interesting development, and it goes right along with the lab grown diamonds. It's all part of the same thing. We got a note from Jessica who used to work in the diamond industry, and she says, lab grown diamonds are a great way to sell jewelry to people who cannot afford the price tag
of natural diamonds. They're also a good way for jewelers to make money, as you can slap a huge markup to a lab grown and it will still still come out cheaper than the real thing. She says, however people discover when they get divorced and try to sell their lab grown diamond back to a jewelry shop, it's basically worthless. It makes nothing but sense. Makes nothing but sense. So we're just living in this fantasy land of expensive products, which you don't really need to buy. The
expense. You're the king of this. We should do tips on dupes. A dupe tip. Well, I've

always been a fan of these things. Of course, you're a frugal man, and I have, well, for good reason, yeah, and I've always had been a fan of the Canal Street counterfeit watch business. Is not what it once was gone. It's gone. It's gone. But my favorite counterfeit watch, and I became pretty good at spotting other people who have counterfeit watches. I've gone out to dinner with Bishop. Do you think you know you're kind of an expert on this? Is this watch that my my
mother in law gave me? Is this a real Rolex?

Well, that's counterfeit. That's not a dupe. That's a counterfeit.

Yes, it counterfeits. It counterfeits are a part of the I see. But say poo, poo counterfeits. No,

no, it's it. I believe, I think, like you, that a lot of especially when it comes to bags, handbags, for sure, it's all from the same factory. It's stuff.

I went to Korea one year, and I just areas where you can get these, what use, bags, bags. And they had Eddie Bauer bags for that. I know that well. There's a blast from the past. It was, it was a while ago, is Eddie Bowers, these Eddie Bower bags, and they were beautiful, and they had the logo. Everything was there. And I realized a lot of this stuff that you get from these counterfeiters is not really counterfeit. It's end of run 10 run, yes, they over produce.
They over produce. They get an order for for 10,000 they crank it up, and then they can't stop the line fast enough, and there's an extra 1000 to fall off the back. What do we do with these? So they sell them at cost or twice cost, like so instead of 50 bucks for the bag, is 10 or $8 but

now you're seeing that the brands, the the companies that advertise on television, they have a problem. I'm surprised that Becky even was allowed to do this, this particular item that she did, because it's going to cut into these huge, luxurious brands the

margins. Yeah, yes, those guys make mar the margin is their game. Oh, man,

you know, when my first wife had had a cosmetics company, the only reason I agreed to it is one to shut her up, and the second, well, there's two reasons. The second was the margins were incredible. It's just goop. You know, you like eyebrow pencils. It all comes from one factory in Germany, or at least back in the day, I don't know if Germany produces anything anymore, the men Schwan pencils. This where you get all your pencils, including your H, 2h b2, pencil,
everything. It all comes from one factory, and it's all about the packaging. It's all about packaging. That's where the that's where you mark it up. We're living in a fake world. John, we are. It's fake. It's phony, and it's only it's only a matter of time until they call compounded GLP ones dupes. They're already trying to make it look like it's counterfeit because, oh, we can't cut. It's the same thing. We

can't cut into the margin. Chemical. A chemical is a chemical. Yes, sodium chloride is salt. No matter how you cut it, that's right, no matter how you make it, no matter how you let it evaporate from the water, no matter how you get get sodium chloride, it's still sodium chloride.

It. I'm laughing at the troll room. The world is fake and gay. Okay, well, you summed it up. There you go. And And just to prove these margins how crazy it is and the fake world we're living in which you can opt out of, Eli Lilly made a nice, interesting move the other day.
Tonight, the drug maker Eli Lilly is making its popular weight loss drug, zeppbound more affordable for anyone whose insurance won't cover it. Zeppbound will now be sold on the ELI Willy website with a prescription. The cost is about half of the retail price.

This half. Why is it half? This,

of course, is not for still making money. Yes, this

is not for people with insurance. This is for people who whose insurance won't cover it, and all of a sudden it's half but okay, let's put it on Medicare so everybody else can pay for it at full price, price, full markup. Maybe one day people will catch on, I don't know. No, no, no. That's

not gonna work. That's not even possible if they listen to this podcast. Well, we'll have a million people that kind of catch on. But even so, we've noticed, even though listeners to our podcast, the producers, every so often they come up with some note that they send us, that they've they've locked they've been hook, line and sinker, into some scam of some sort that you know, you hope that they were would be immune to, based on what we keep saying. Do you have an example? No, do

you have an example? I

don't have one off the top of my head, but it happens all the time.
It's sad.

It's just not you, you can't beat you can't beat back mainstream media and its brow beating of the public. Well,

it is slowly, slowly disintegrate. No, it's

not you. You're a dreamer. You're a you're the idealist.

I have hope. I have at least 10 more years of hope on you. That's why I'm still in that hope phase. Good luck. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in corn sweat, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only. Mr. Jones, good

morning. You. Mr. M curry, in the morning, all ships and sea blues from the ground, feeding the air subs in the water, and all the Dames and nights out there. Oh, let

me check this out. This is very odd. The troll
count seems to be low. Count. We

must have the corn sweat has devoured them. 1870 seems low for a Thursday, don't we usually have more on a Thursday?

No, we usually have 1700

Let me see. Oh, you, I'm sorry, you're right. Let me see now the last the last Thursday, was 1889 Oh, you're right. No, it's about right. I'm sorry, you're right. 1870 so we're on par. Hey, trolls. How you doing? Are you corn sweating in that troll room? You can join them, by the way. But going to trollroom.io. You can listen to the no agenda stream, 24/7 live, huh? So some you know, we're on tune in. You know the app tune in? No, I don't it's a streaming radio app, and you can use tune
in to listen to radio streams from radio stations. And the no agenda stream is on there. It's been on there. That's good for a long, long time. Yeah, that's good. But when you tap on it, because I have it in the car, this for some reason, and that it has it, you can get Sirius XM and tune in. Okay, so I listened to tune in, and it starts off with two ads. Oh, they're just jacking ads in front of stuff.

Yeah,

that's lame. All right? This, this, it's a ripoff, so don't use tune in to rip off or Spotify. It's a ripple. What?

What is the best way to listen to the no agenda show in the car? Well, you're dreaming.

You could. There's two ways. I would suggest you get a modern podcast app, because not only will you be driving in the car and all sudden, bloop, it'll alert you through your Android Auto or your car play, or if you just have your phone with you and it's connected to Bluetooth, and the modern podcast app will say, hey, no agenda. Show is live. You tap on it's the same place you get your podcast, and it starts playing. Now, we do not recommend you enter the troll
room while driving. You can, but, you know, we don't recommend it, but you can use trollroom.io, to get in, log in, make an account, and everything and and that's where the trolls are. Podcast apps.com, you know, if you want to continue to listen to your favorite podcasts before they get jacked and you get all those great new features, unlike everybody else, like the Kelsey brothers. Holy Mo. Did you hear this nonsense? This, this promotional bull crap? I'm going to play it for you. New
f1 32 Kelsey brothers are taking their new heights podcast to new heights financially. Jason and Travis Kelsey signed a new deal with Amazon's wondery. That is. Worth, reportedly, $100 million over three years. The brothers said they are excited about the partnership and are thrilled to start season three. The podcast has been around since 2022 and has won multiple awards, including podcast of the Year at the 2024 I heart Podcast Awards.

We need an award.

We've gotten awards. We don't

pay to enter anymore. So we don't get awards, because every award show, no, you have to pay to enter. Yes,

this is a this is a fact of awards you have to pay. Yeah,

so we don't do that. What the iHeart Awards? Please. I

heard awards for people that are on I Heart. Yes, exactly. Well, also, I never heard of this podcast, by the way, and I like sports. Well,

this, if you read the release carefully, it's the same as call her daddy. What they're saying is,

it's so it's all about blow jobs. It's, it's a distribution

deal. And wondery, which was purchased by Amazon, they will be able to sell ads. So the deal can be worth up to $100 million advertising Exactly. So they're getting a minimum guarantee, and I'm not discounting that most advertising money on television and streaming goes into football specifically. So there's a lot, there's a lot of money that that people will put into this, but it's this. Oh, it's 100 million. Oh, podcasting is still doing great. No, well, podcasting is a vow of poverty. People

more, more power to them a and it's no sweat off my balls. There

you go. So instead of paying to enter awards and getting beat up on the football pitch, John and I decided we'll just do podcasts twice a week, and we'll ask people to support us if they think what we do is worth anything, if we have improved your life in any way. Some people say it helps them. Some people say, You know what, I feel better listening to the no agenda show because we're light hearted. We're not so
serious. I literally saw Megyn Kelly, boy, I like Megyn Kelly, and don't get me wrong, but she was yelling at Caitlyn, the CNN lady, yelling.

She was, she was all emotional on that thing, but

she was, she was yelling, Caitlin, here's a tip, smile from time to time. And this whole rant, she does exactly, and she has a beautiful smile. But will she smile? No, it's like Pot, kettle. Hello. Everyone's unhinged. We're not unhinged. We're just poor. But today, value came in in multiple ways. The first thing we want to do is thank our artists, who always support us with their time and their talent. It's part of the trifecta time, talents and treasure, and they support
us by making artwork that fits with the show. They're doing it during the live show. It's amazing. They do this in this case, in the evening, hours after dinner, for the Dutch masters who were working on things. And Dutch master, who lives in Chicago, brought us the artwork for Episode 1689, and that was Darren O'Neill with the ozempic ice cream, which was a classic, no agenda product, comic strip. Blogger right away. It's like, this is you can do this. This is not fair use. Yes, it

is Fair Use about what did that art be stolen?

No, he says, because you're using the brand name, ozempic. No, no, no, exactly. Tell him. Tell him, John,

this is a as a parody or a humor, and not for the purposes of of cloning a product. This is totally legal, yes,

and, and, by the way, when comic strip blogger freaks out is really good art, then you know it's good art.

Well, he had a good piece that I thought was good, but you hated it, which was his jazz queen, but I did,

no,

I do not hella pigeus ass.

I did not hate it. I said to you, I would be all for it if the letters actually look like they were on the jeans, and they just didn't. And you agreed with me in my hate I

did, yeah, exactly

see with other pieces are, oh, we haven't said the W word yet. There was a tip jar for that. I don't think we're doing quite well. What else was there? Oh, that's yeah, the right. There was a lot of yes queens, a lot of yes queens, yeah. But we're like, yeah. It was a little overplayed at that point. We had kind of done that. I did like the very demure, very mindful cheesecake, but you thought it was too simple and
also same. That was a comics or Blogger piece. But again, the the letters didn't look they like they were really on the t

shirt. Weren't mapped, mapped. Thank they weren't surface mapped. No,

no, and that's, that's the

which you. Can do with Photoshop. I mean, it's very easy, but AI, this is all can't figure it out. How did,

how are the earnings for the for our favorite AI company yesterday, all I saw, yeah, all day. Oh, this. Everyone's waiting. Oh, it's down. It's down five and a half percent. I guess they didn't do do so, no, they actually, they beat expectations, and people are still selling.

There's something going on. Yes, it's

called the blow up of AI nonsense, have you? You don't, you don't have chat, GPT, do you?

I know. I just do it. If I'm ever going to use it. I use it online. Well,

here's what you want to type in and it. I think Elon Musk has corrected grok on this one. But if you type in how many Rs are in the word strawberry, every ai i have used, including the ones I run here at home, say there are two Rs in strawberry, even though there's clearly three,

isn't that? What's the point of this exercise to prove the AI sucks? Yes,

yes, of course it is. That means there's no intelligence. It's just splitting

the tool that grok was fixed just by hand. Oh, yeah, of course, it was how you do it.

They will all be fixed by hand. You have to go tweak it, yeah. Where did I learn about this? On X so, of course, you know this is, this is what you do. You launch,

brought it. You launched your hand, tweak it, and then you point out everyone else's screw, yeah, exactly, exactly called Marketing.
Yes, it's good.

It's good because good marketing.

Was there anything else that we liked? I don't think there was much. I don't think there was anything else

actually was pretty was pretty lame. It was demure. I did use, I'm not using that word that should be banned. I did use one piece that was the girls whispering to each other from scaramonga as the

Oh, yeah, but that was a good piece for the newsletter, because, yeah, it wasn't, you know, wasn't. Yeah, I'm passing some news on. It's good for a newsletter. Hey, listen to this. It's like Betty and Veronica. These two, the scarabanga piece. That's good.

Well, thank you. Veronica's a brunette and this girl's a red details,

details, white, details. Thank you very much. Darren O'Neill for bringing us the artwork for Episode 1689, we appreciate it. We appreciate the work that all of our Dutch masters do. You guys are awesome that I don't use that word lightly. Anybody can upload art to no agenda, artgenerator.com, it's simple. Go ahead. Try it out, then you too can be excoriated for doing it wrong. We're happy to do it for you. Yeah. Now is valuable. It is very valuable. Now. Let us thank
our executive and Associate Executive producers. We ask everybody to just send treasure whatever the show is worth to you. Value is is very subjective to your to your own means. So if that's $5 for a show, that's fine by us. Anybody can go to no agenda donations.com. Set up a sustaining donation. We do like to thank because we never continue the program if we waited for everybody to support us with $5 we, in fact, we tried that 17 years ago almost, and it didn't work until we said, hey,
just send us whatever it's worth to you. And that's why we have executive producers $300 and above. We read your note, and Associate Executive Producers $200 above, and we read your note, and you get an official credit, which you can use anywhere credits are recognized. It includes your LinkedIn profile, of course, and your social media profile, but more importantly, imdb.com where there are over 1000 no agenda
producers, and we kick it off with he's back. He is back. He comes in about once a month, sironymous of Dog Patch and lower slobovia, now normally a 3333 donation would be a rubbilizer, and he didn't do 3333 he did 3322 which I'm presuming includes a couple of $2 bills, because he always sends cash from an undisclosed location. I'm going to get, I believe there was one $2 I'm gonna give him the rubbilizer anyway. But he says, John, this is a long note for you, so you have to read it. No,

no, that's not for me to read. He's, he's, that's a reference to the fact that it's extremely long note. And I hate long notes,

so that means I have to read it. Yeah. All right. Thank you to all the producers that support this. By the

way, I should mention just just as a historically, he sends in kind of short and often short notes, yes, every once in a while, no note, and he makes a little stanza with no note. Money, these little graphic and then sometimes reasonable notes. And I think he's finally built up. He's been enough credit to do as long a note as he wants, and this is one of them. So that's not so I'm not objecting to I will

come to his house and wash his car. Thank you to all the producers that support.

By the way, his car is a rolls. It's got to be his must be, including

the professional insight from so many regions and professions and the time talent and treasure that make this a unique source of insight into advertisers, safe products and messages and how advertisers use different outlets to reach different audiences. The Cote d'Ivoire Consulting Group is extremely effective in helping identify targeted audience just by sharing the message sources. Like many Americans, I have
naturalized US citizen, family and friends. In my extensive travel outside the US over the past few months, garnered one question from both groups, what's going on? Naturally, I can hear him saying it that way too. Naturalized citizens have a keen perspective of politicized governments. As many came to the US to leave politicized countries, they are unhappy that their work to be US citizens is being shortcut for political purposes. They reinforce the US. Educational System Programming
towards social agenda rather than the three R's. Education is creating a less valuable citizen and workforce, and they include their own children as victims as they seek to be normal Americans and seek private education when possible. Many countries, this is important stuff that he's saying here. This is good. Many countries I travel to have polarized political environments where violence overcomes civility in political discourse.
International contacts ask me if the US is the ideal place to send their children to be educated and gain citizenship. They see the leading global economy and military superpower moving towards a Caligula like society like the one they left. Take note, people, because where are we going to escape to the two wars underway have far greater impact than seems to garner attention in the US. Global trade is more affected
outside the US. Covid taught us the term supply chain issues to justify delays and higher costs, no agenda listeners already know grain exports from Ukraine, Russia to Africa is causing
severe issues and starvation. China is a leading exporter of goods to the Suez Canal and is severely impacted by the Houthi Red Sea attacks of goods to the Suez Canal and is severely impacted by the Houthi Red Sea attacks the defense industrial base, which he says, dib of non US actors are more aggressive than the often maligned us, dib participants, drone and missile manufacturing outside the US is far beyond us capability, and while less sophisticated, using dos level attacks will overwhelm
so called Iron Dome defenses, and both sides know it. Hezbollah has 150,000 missiles AI, as in actual intelligence. Ooh, nice. Sees non US, defense industrial base pushing a more aggressive agenda than us. Dibs, unlike us, moral values these countries do not value of lives as Americans us, military is working to learn what others are experiencing and working to adapt to these wars, but our political leaders remain oblivious to the reality of these wars. How much leadership?
How much will leadership cause US citizens to suffer, either to prepare for war, or suffer before surrender? If you believe history rhymes, the Treaty of Versailles, a concise history by Nyberg. It's about 100 pages. Is an interesting book of poetry for today's events. No jingles, no karma. And then he parked his roles as a good note, something to listen to, because, you know he's saying, He's saying real stuff. Here you should have, you should do a podcast.

Yeah, well, he does one. I'm

gonna, I'm gonna give him ours. He just did one. I'm gonna give
him a hang out. Mike, standby, 3333 33 rubbilizer

He's from bensonville, Illinois, 208, 29 over the weekend, I met an awesome fellow producer at the farmers market, he says she echoed the same sentiment that so many producers I've spoken to have shared. Those who listened to no agenda through covid Say you guys helped keep her saying amid the media madness, well, we hope we continue to do that, because it's only crazier now. Thank
you. For those who only listened to no agenda for the past few years, I suggest going into the archives and checking out the 2016 election shows history doesn't often repeat itself, but it does indeed rhyme. Can I get a Don't be a night denier jingle for and for producers that can't visit us at a local farmers market, visit gigawatt Coffee roasters.com and use code ITM 20 for 20% off your online order, stay caffeinated, says Eli the coffee guide,

Thomas Weaver, with a I doing this reluctantly, because of the length of the note, yes. But Thomas Weaver from Blackwall, New South Wales, comes in, and the numbers probably around 210, I'm guessing, yeah, always good to first time donation. So a deuceing would be a wonderful thank you. You've been deduced

Marty bent, he's, he's got a huge podcast, and he's my friend

who, who's, I don't know anything about this. Oh,

Marty bent is in Austin. It's the tftc podcast. He used to be in finance and finance, and he left finance and went into Bitcoin mining and all he's a it. He is a cool dude. He, I think he has now two young kids moved from Florida. Was he in Florida? No, he's in Pennsylvania. I think was in Philly. Moved to Austin a couple years we've had dinner with him and his wife. Lovely couple. A young, young, John Young, half our age, well my age. Thomas

Weaver continues. So here I am swapping some of my Aussie dollar dollary dues for your American cookbooks, as Marty would say. And let me tell you, the Australia to USD turnaround is terrible. We are truly the land down under, yes, but on the plus side, I'm a regenerative farm worker, and I've had the pleasure to have met Texas slim. Oh, there you go, in person and converse with him. Get grass finished, meats as at will, and listen to the best podcast in the universe.
Well, whilst on my daily chores of feeding the animals, you know, Texas slim was on some, some TV show recently I saw him. Oh yeah, he

gets around. He's trying to very, very

skinny guy with a big Texas hat, you

know, I told him, because he would do interviews and he put on a baseball cap, I said, bro, no, you need to always have the hat on when you're doing an interview. Otherwise, he's just a skinny dude with a hat. Now you're Texas slim. You see, Texas Slim is perfect. He gets around well, he took your advice, yes, and he's trying to, he's trying

to very erudite. He's character. He

is erudite is the correct word. And

I won't anyway, continuing, and I won't use this donation to shamelessly plug the business I work for. No instead, I will plug my smoking hot girlfriend's business meals for mamas, an amazing ready made meal delivery service for postpartum mothers and their partners. It's utilizing organic ingredients, grass, finished meats, even some from our farm, and a delicious assortment of healthier snack options as well,
delivered fresh throughout New South Wales. Act and now act, act a CT and now Queensland

act is sent Central, uh, yeah, something, yeah,

somewhere, sorry, everyone only in Australia, go to meals. That

should be a four. I think, I think he mistyped that four mamas, not, not dollar sign. Meals, number four mamas,

I think you're probably right. Meals, mamas.com.au, for delivering more as for you, Adam and John, a grass finished steak straight from the farm and a brilliant Aussie Shiraz or cap Sauvignon for John, two will be here waiting for you if you ever decide to visit. Thanks again for all the stellar work you guys do. Thomas, well, I

hear you guys. We'll see. Even be our 51st state so it'll be easy. You know, we pretty much, we pretty much own them now, don't we, with our, what was the military

boys there? Oh

yeah, we take all over. Take it over. Hey, that's anyway, that's our,

that's our group of, uh, well wishers and producers, Associate Executive and executive producers for show 1680 and thank

you again to everyone else who came in with with donations and notes. We will be reading numbers above 50 for the donations and sometimes a note, depending on what's in it in our second segment. And of course, thanks to everyone who comes in under $50 for reasons of anonymity and those sustaining donations go to no agenda donations.com and thank you for producing 1690
our formula is this, we go out. We hit people in the mouth, shut

up. Mistakenly says 1680 did I say 1680 I meant 1690 No. I said 600. Wow, yeah. Well, that's why I do all the production,

yes, right? So I could screw it, so I could screw it up,

which I do from time to time. It does happen. All right, I said we got lots of clips, so lay it on now, let's see

what we got. You want some funny clips? You want to give me some funny clips? Well, let's, well,

oh, well, I don't have any funny clips. He said, Oh, okay. Let's

talk a little bit about, let's catch up with the Middle East with an update. This is, I can do a clip blitz Middle

East. Really, it's everyone's just okay. Look, they're killing each other over there. Here's a good one. Here's

a good one. Did you know this was going on to sag after strike?

Wait, I thought we already had a SAG after strike. Oh,

how wrong you are. There's still another one. They just keep coming. The
Video Game actors have remained on strike since July. This follows months of negotiations with major gaming companies. The strike aims to ensure equal protection for union voice actors and motion capture performers against what they say is unregulated use of artificial intelligence. Kristina Corona reports from Southern California. We're here in the city of Burbank outside Warner Brothers Studios, where members of sag aktra are picketing as part of their strike against major video game studios.
The video game companies are rightly isolated. When you look at the studios, the streamers, the record labels, we've been able to achieve the necessary protections for our members with all of those companies, and yet, for some reason, the video game companies refuse to make the same fair deal.
Several video game actors and voice actors said they are striking for fair contracts, primarily to oppose unregulated use of artificial intelligence, something where we know that we have something in writing, that when we go into one session, that doesn't mean they can just reuse, digitally reproduce our voice for future needs. It's ensuring that we can still do what we love to do for people and moving forward, and we're not phased out by robots.
Voice Actor Sam kwasman mentioned many actors have worked their entire career for only a modest return. We're fighting for our lives. Basically, we spend all this time learning our lives and taking acting lessons, singing lessons, dancing. I mean, you train for your career and then you wind up with a couple 100 bucks

start a podcast, listen. I have a I have a question, guys. So the nanny spent all this time setting up this. No, AI for what I thought was sag after, but they didn't think to include the video game industry. Yeah,

seems so, because way I'm in close the hatch, huh?

And are all act is, are we going to see Angelina Jolie go on strike for the video game actors? Are they lesser than do they not count, even though their industry is 10 times as big as the movie industry? Yeah, that's

the irony. Will they go on irony is, the industry is huge compared to the film entertainment side of it. So

will they go on strike? These scabs? Are this going to continue to work? They don't care about their brothers and sisters, who also had to learn how to act and sing and read lines and whatever else they were doing.

I think you can figure it out. No one
voice actor raised concerns the AI is costing them jobs as AI generated voices can be manipulated to say inappropriate or offensive things, which then are falsely attributed to them causing issues with their agencies and the actors over here. Like, no, wait, that was not me. Someone cloned my voice through some program and like, I would never say any of this stuff, so the AI protections. Are definitely what is worth fighting for more livelihoods. AI is not coming. It's already here.

I have never heard that guy in a video game,

and he might be a voice guy that you know changes his voice. Well,

I will tell you right now, if AI could take over this podcast, and we could be on the beach chilling like Bob Dylan, I'm all in, but it can't, can't it, can't it can't even count the R's in strawberry.

The thing that's kind of interesting when you think about this particular complaint is Mel Blanc. Oh, Mel Blanc was a notorious prick that did all the voices for every character in Warner Brothers cartoons. He did Bugs Bunny, right? He did Porky Pig. He did all the character, every character, in fact, it was all the vocalizations and all the commercials and all the comic cartoons, yes, that Warner Brothers came out with, and he it was the voice by Mel Blanc.
And Mel Blanc would make a fuss, according to the rumors, that Who knew he'd make a huge fuss if they brought in one single guy to do one single voice in any of the cartoons he was involved in, which was all of Warner Brothers cartoons, all the Bugs Bunny, all the Daffy Duck, all that stuff.

Are you sure he did Elmer Fudd? Because people are saying that's not true. I

believe so. He had. He was a man of one of these I run in, ran into one of these guys I was doing when I was doing a radio show. I ran into the guy who took over tigger's voice, which Tigger used to be done by Paul Winchell in the Winnie the Pooh series. And Tigger was done by Paul Winchell. He was the one who developed the voice. And Paul Winchell died, and they were still doing these Winnie the Pooh movies. And this guy who was on the show, he was a voice
guy, and he took over. And I didn't know anything that this even happened, and he did a bunch of voices for me, including Tigger. And he sounded he was one of those guys who could just mimic voices like, you know, like an impressionist, or even better, and he could do, he's had about 12 or 13 very distinctive voices that he could do, but Tigger was one of them. And

I could be wrong about breaking, breaking news, breaking news, breaking Steve Webb og godcaster Text me. We text as a voice actor. I can confirm Mel Blanc, blank did Elmer Fudd. Doesn't mean it is voice. He might have just done it, but okay, he did Elmer Fudd.

He did all the voices and Warner Brothers cartoons. If you look at because they give credit on there, there's only one guy's name, but, yes, but So, so what was the difference between, you know, AI doing some voices, or for these cartoons, or one guy doing all the voices, not letting anybody else work. Where's the strike then? I mean, it seems to me that that was unfair.

By the way, okay, by the way, no, this is good. Leanne Webb sent me an email. She is the much better half of Steve Webb regarding John Tesh,

I have wondered what happened to John Tesh. Well,

couple years ago she saw him at the coach house. Is in Florida, no Arizona. I think he's surviving a very rare form of cancer, but still performing. He performed, of course, on Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart. He's still around. And then I got a note from the boys from Mercy Me are who are knights at this point, and they had some John Tesh trivia. Did you know that he wrote the NBA theme song?

No, I did not know that. That's pretty that's trivia. That is that stream trivia News

You Can Use right

there. Yes, that's a lifetime of that

you can retire. You can retire on something that was like Paul

Anka when he wrote, he wrote the Johnny Carson I show, yep, Tonight Show theme. And since the show went up for 30 years, yeah, he was just gold. You know, you just make money every show. But

Can you hum the NBA theme song? No, I cannot, neither. And and they and so the Mercy boys, Mercy Me. Boys said that they met him on a cruise. They were performing on a cruise, and they said, you and John should do a no agenda cruise.

Yes, that's that. Let me look on my list of things I want to do.

I can hear Horowitz already going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do a cruise.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, there it is. Is that number? Oh, it's been dexed out. No, it doesn't seem to be. No, it's not, yeah, I

have a feeling it's not in the cards a cruise. Ruse, oh, boy. And then someone else emailed me saying, Hey, we should do a no agenda con, you know, like, which we do that twice a week. No, no agenda con, like, a big where everyone, all producers from all over the world, can come in and hang out together, the world's largest meetup. And I thought about, I said, I think this has popped up in the past, and the reason why we always say no is because people always want the same
thing, and then you can do a live show on stage. Yeah, and like no, we though it would be great. Everyone could hang out together, have a drink. But what are we gonna do? You know, we have, there's no tricks, there's no, uh, no act. There's nothing with, you know, there's we need to do sessions.

We'd have to work on a on a comedy act, a routine like Rowan and Martin laugh in routine.

Who's on First? It's

not again, not in the cards. No, it's, is that you what we're what we've been doing, is what we're doing, and that's about it. You know? We don't have, we have a microphone company coming.

I'm not allowed to promote it anymore, you know? And you know

how many we have to hold off on promotion until we actually get the microphones done. And then we have, what is there anything else that we gonna do down the side? Not really, I

think. No, that's about it. We gotta. I

mean, I have the publishing company and, yeah, you've got a bunch of other podcasts, and podcasting 2.0 that keeps you busy. We're doing work. I mean, we don't, but we're not doing a cruise and we're not doing a podcast

2.0 is zero income. That's just to keep this show going. I'm doing it for the show. And anyone else who wants to do a show, well,

it's actually very philanthropic. That's what it is.

Yes, where's my Nobel Peace Prize?

Do get it?

Sure. Well, if Obama could get one. So we're still awaiting the return of the astronauts on that failed Boeing Starliner. Thing is that the Starliner, yeah, was the Starliner. You

know, I have a clip I want to play before you get to that which has got, this is similar. This is, this is like a thing that makes me cringe. This is the Space X, flip, and it is the private thing they're going to do. And you know, you know, Elon has not gone up in the space yet that I know he's smart, because it's and I think, by the way, this is just, I don't know if it's a red book prediction, but we've lost
astronauts when we had the billions of dollars. And, you know, you send them up and something goes wrong, and it kills these guys, although

they happen when they're all alive in different places in the country. But, yeah,

well, that could be the one that came in and the tiles were falling off the bottom, and the thing blew up, and everyone got to see it, and the Challenger went up and they blew up. I mean, people. And then the guys who sat on the on the launch pad, they burned up in the pit. Yeah, three of them. That was bad. And, of course, that's suspicious that one. But the something's gonna happen on one of these things, and it's gonna be, it's gonna really destroy

in the business. It's gonna be a day wrecker.

It's gonna destroy, yes, I agree. It's gonna end the business a day record. But this one, this particular one, this is they're gonna send up people higher than ever before, maybe through a radiation belt. I'm not even sure, belts really. We're gonna make them go outside and roam around. I mean, this does not sound like a good thing. Space
X's historical Aristotle mission is delayed once again, this time it's because of bad weather. Four private astronauts were set to be launched into space this morning, but SpaceX said bad offshore weather is predicted in the area where the crew will eventually splash down at the end of the mission. During the mission, SpaceX plans to conduct the first ever private spacewalk as well as gather data from
dozens of experiments. The mission commander said the crew must be absolutely sure of reentry weather before launching. That's because the supplies they are carrying are limited. The mission had already been postponed from yesterday after engineers discovered a helium leak in one of the rockets components.

Oh, he's also got a helium leak.
Yeah, helium

Yeah. I'm all for sending up satellites, you know, it's fine, but yeah, going up into space, sure, yeah, KLM has just enough. So we have the Boeing astronauts on the International Space Station. They won't come back until February. Is now reported, and they're going to send their Boeing capsule back down. Watch that thing you want to take over under on this where there's that thing like explodes on the way down, or will it? Be safe.

I'm like, Oh, well, that's not really an over and under. And over and under has a plus or minus, either gonna blow up or not. Well, I would, I would say it's gonna come back. Okay?

I think so too, not that I'd risk my life on it. Well,

that's why they're not risking their life on it, because the fact that you'd even discuss it as blowing up doesn't seem very not

great, not great. So KLM has now said they are switching from Boeing to Airbus, and KLM is, you know, Air France, that's a big order. They're losing. Airbus is cleaner, quieter, more economical, and doesn't have the doors popping off. That was not in the press release, but I'm just going to add that. And in China, we have another competitor doing much better than Boeing, is
Air China. And China Southern Airlines will become the second and third Chinese carriers to fly China's homegrown c9 online passenger jet. The two carriers took delivery of the aircraft at Chinese planemaker Comac space in Shanghai. These are the eighth and ninth planes that Comac has delivered China. Eastern Airlines has already been flying seven of these aircraft

since May last year. There you go.

No, what's a? C, 919,

it looks like a 737 I think it's going to be a competitor that big. Oh, yeah, it's, it's a dupe. It's a it's a dupe of the 737

Yeah, they look nice. The commax. C9, 19, they look nice. It looks like a 737, you're right. It probably is a copy of an old one. It's a

dupe. It's a dupe. It's a dupe. Yes, now I'm not sure if this was a Boeing aircraft, so I have not received so

we're doomed once the Chinese get into this. This

is a very sad thing that took place. People don't really this could be a maintenance issue. It could be an aircraft issue. Again. I don't know if it was Boeing or Airbus, but this is sad thing that happened this
morning. Delta Airlines searching for answers after two employees were killed on the job inside the airlines maintenance facility on the Atlanta airport grounds. A third worker is being treated for serious injuries. 1775 Mayor Jackson, Junior Boulevard, Delta, TLC, three emergency crews rushing to the Delta wheel and Brake Shop early Tuesday morning. The airline says employees were working on a
tire when the wheel component suddenly ruptured. Delta describing it as a heartbreaking accident, it killed 58 year old Merkel Marwick and 37 year old Luis Aldo Rondo, it was away from the main airplanes had this high pressure, big piece of metal, big piece of rubber, and if it fails, for some reason catastrophically, can cause damage and injury to people nearby.
A delta employee describing the chilling scene to first responders, saying, quote, I walked toward where the explosion occurred, and saw a body lying face down, not moving, with blood all around the accident. Investigators will probably look at the two metal rims around that tire and look for some sort of a fatigue failure. Was that airplane old? Was that tire old? Or was it somehow, some part of the way that the tire was put together that caused this mishap.

Doesn't Delta, Delta fly Boeing's,

yeah, but this is probably, this is component. It's like, it's like, certain trucks have these types of tires.

They're still blame Boeing.

Well, yeah. Well, that's the idea, blame them. Yeah. Sorry about Boeing's got issues. I see there's a comeback 919 there's a 929 oh, so they're building big jets. Yeah, um, I'd probably honeywell's involved with them. Oh, really, Americans have, you know, help

really,

yeah, but

probably fly it. I wouldn't, I'm not too afraid. I wouldn't go, Well, go on a spaceship, but

I'm taking a rocket, here's a rocket, and shoot it up there, and I'll be on it and floating around for a few minutes.

This is a story trending everywhere. It's not rage, it's crazy. It's no good California. I mean, it's just California story so, but it was doing the rounds, so we might as well discuss it, since one of us is in California
now, to a live look at the state capitol. Right now, California lawmakers have about three days to pass new laws for the year. The deadline is Saturday, at midnight. Lawmakers today saying Governor Newsom a bill that would allow undocumented people to apply for the state's first time home
buyers program. That program has no money for the foreseeable future, but that didn't stop lawmakers in the state assembly from approving it in a 45 to 15 party line vote, the proposal specifically prohibits the California Housing Finance Authority from rejecting a person's actions. Application
based on their immigration status. The bill made national headlines as California is facing a housing crisis with some of the highest costs in the nation to own a home, we need to remind ourselves that we are a nation of immigrants, and here in our state, we remind ourselves all the time of the value of those who are continuing to come here and to
make our economy better. So for those who are paying their taxes, who are doing things right, who have a good credit score and who can qualify for a loan, we are saying that we want you to set roots here in our great state. If you qualify, Governor Newsom will have until September 30 to sign or veto this bill.

Apparently, that's not the that's not the way the story is told on this clip. Oh,

hold on. Can I just say something that Governor Abbott of Texas, he is now commissioned signs to be put up in Mexico that says, free homes that way. Point him towards the north.

Yes. Smart move free homes in California. Is the clip free?

Oh, is that literally the clip name? Oh, I see a
California proposal could make illegal immigrants eligible for housing aid. People could get up to $150,000 in loans to help buy a home paid for by the state entities. David lamb reports, a new proposal would expand home buying loans to illegal
immigrants. On Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill in a 25 to 14 vote, California's home purchase assistance program would cover up to a 20% down payment or closing costs capped at $150,000 it's called Assembly Bill 1840 which was introduced by Assemblyman Joaquin arumbula, and it prevents the state's home purchase assistance program from disqualifying an applicant based
on their immigration status. Applicants would need to be first time home buyers, and at least one borrower needs to be a first generation home buyer, such as someone whose parents don't own a home, or they've been through foster care, the homebuyer would have to repay the down payment loan, plus a portion of the profits if the house is sold later on. So that's the increased value of the home. Now, as of Wednesday, it's in the assembly before going to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk. Well, it

wasn't that different?

Well, they emphasize the fact that this for illegal immigrants, mainly,

yes, well, of course, that's what California is all about. It's to improve your economy now so that so 20%

150,000 so much of 2008 written all over it does.

That's a $750,000 home, which, at today's interest rates, pretty steep price,

you know? Yeah, it might not be workable. You mean, but Newsom, if he's smart, he'll veto it so he can keep on his you know, because otherwise he's going to get everything Newsom does from now on is assuming that Trump's going to be president, and he has to be very careful that he's not going to have this stuff thrown in his face. Hey, but

wait a minute, this would work great for your favela idea. Free favelas. You can get a down payment on a favela.

This idea of the favela itself is self free. It's free,

it's free, free. I love that idea. Well, let's continue to stay in California with the cleanup operation just in time for the Olympics, just in time for the 2020, 2028, election. This is rousting the homeless. We're back
now with our homeless in America series. Earlier this summer, the US Supreme Court ruled that cities can find or even jail people for sleeping outside. Seen as Nick watt went to San Francisco, a city with a notorious homeless problem, which is now aggressively sweeping homeless encampments from its streets. You got to go. But you know where you're gonna go, yeah. Okay,

okay, okay,
we're in the Mission District. It's a little after 7am Is this the first time you've been involved in one of these sweeps? No, no, no. This is the first time they've been so quiet and nice you'll be in a shelter tonight. Well, this covid? Yes, the Supreme Court ruled that cities can now cite fine or jail these people, even if they have nowhere else to go. We have the ability to now enforce the law. Mayor London breed introduced what she calls a very aggressive
strategy. They issued around 25 citations in the first two weeks, you're criminalizing something that a lot of people can't help. They have no other choice, and that would be the case if we weren't offering people a place to go inside. They haven't offered your shelter. They said there's no opening for shelter right now. There's no beds or anything for trash. The city says no one this. Morning sweep ended up in a shelter, not one. This
is the afternoon sweep we're in so much South of Market. The issue is, this is the 34th time the city has swept this area this year alone.

34th time. That's

a little twist on the story. Doesn't

seem to be working very well.

Well, I know whatever they're doing in San Francisco, a lot of it's housing has an impact, and the homeless are moving, probably wisely, to Oakland, right

across the road from you.

Well, it's far enough away. I'm not worried about it. But, okay, I wasn't open the other day driving around. Yeah, and it's worse than ever. In a homeless situation, there's encampments under every Overpass, which seems like ever there's a you won't find a freeway overpass where there aren't a bunch of tents. And there's a huge park on the corner of MacArthur and Broadway for people who want to
check it out. And there's just Tent City. The whole park isn't completely filled, but it's a borderline favela, but not the right kind. The right kind needs a view. Yes, yeah, it's a view formula. And I don't see anybody doing anything about anything in Oakland.

I have a second part to this report, more than 4000
people live on San Francisco streets. There are fewer than 4000 shelter beds, and most nights, they're near full, with a wait list of over 100 he's offering your shelter bed. Yeah, so what are you going to do? Are you going to take it? Yeah, I'm going to take it. But you know what? It's something where it's typical, like, I won't do it, man, I want to do it because I stayed in prison 2022 years. Do you really think I want to be closed up in a room with bars? No, I don't
think so. I'd rather sleep outside. Since the Supreme Court's decision, cities and towns and states across the country are now proposing passing and enforcing anti camping laws across California, state authorities have started sweeping in camps. I'm here on behalf of 40 million Californians that are fed up. I'm here because I'm one of them, but more than 50 academics told the Supreme Court there's no evidence that criminalizing homelessness works. In fact,
there's a lot of evidence that it's counterproductive. It's

all Brits, by the way, who are representing your news
well, what we want to be able to do is use the penalties as a way to get people to commit to going indoors. You spent a lot of money from the city sweeping that same street. To me, that is the definition of matter. But what I'm saying to you is the next option that we have for people who are refusing what we're offering is we will be citing, and you'll maybe, in the next couple months, take a look at our data and see whether or not this is working, and if it's
working, we'll continue. If it's not, we need to pivot and to try something else. Pivot, pivot.

Gonna pivot and try something else, like flamethrowers or something.
This is, this is

what is citing somebody that homeless or living in a tent, they got no income, they got no job, they got nothing and you're gonna give them a ticket there. Yeah, there's a $20

ticket. They have no strategy. This is just, just sweep them up, sweep under the rug. It's no strategy. There's no strategy. Turn Oakland into a big, big park. It's not a strategy. It's very sad. It is. Well, they

let it, they let it fester. That's the problem. Well, it could have been solved if they had stopped it a decade. They let

it fester for political reasons.

That's what they did. Democrats,

yes, yes, yes. The robbers den, you know, you remember the knife attack and souling in Germany.

Yes, in fact, I have a clip that references it. Oh, well, let

me play the clip and I can tell you some. Have some interesting details. What is the name of this clip?

That's a good question.

Well, you're the you brought it up. Well,

I mean, you tricked me.

I did not trick you into anything. Oh, here it is. No, no. Do you have I don't see a knives clip?

No, it's, it's under it came at either my maybe the UK NEWS it. Oh yeah, I think it came out of here. This is when I think this, yes, it's in here. It's a two parter. It's UK NEWS. It's about Starmer, oh

yeah, hanging out with the German dude. Yeah? Here British
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is seeking to reset relations with the European Union as he meets in Berlin with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The two leaders have agreed to work on a treaty covering issues from defense to trade. Yeah, let's

just say defense.
I'm absolutely. Clear that we do want a reset. I've been able to repeat that here today, a reset with Europe, a reset with the EU. But that does not mean reversing Brexit or reentering the single market or the Customs Union. Scholes said Germany wanted to take this outstretched hand. The United Kingdom has always been an indispensable part of the solution to the major issues affecting the whole of Europe. This has not changed
since the UK left the European Union. The new Cooperation Treaty would deepen collaboration in science, technology, business and culture, while increasing trade and guns. Britain and Germany said they hoped to sign the Cooperation Treaty by early next year, at the heart of this treaty will be a new defense agreement. There it is an agreement that builds upon our already formidable defense cooperation.
The deepening defense cooperation comes ahead of a possible scaling back of us support for NATO if FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP returns to the White House early next year, Trump has said he would not defend allies if they do not increase their defense budgets.

He don't think he said that. Well, indirectly, he says if you don't pay your fair share, is what he said. But yeah, it's a fair share thing. Yeah. So where's the knife stuff in the second clip? Here's the second clip.
Starmer also highlighted cooperation on the shared European challenge of illegal immigration. The issue is a hot topic in Germany at the moment, following a knife attack in zollingen that killed three people and wounded eight more, allegedly carried out by suspected Islamic extremists from Syria, Starmer reiterated his plan to tackle the people smuggling gangs behind the UK's small boat crisis, which charged migrants 1000s of dollars to cross the sea from France to
Britain. He suggested the joint action plan could involve authorities intercepting boats in transit across Europe to stop them reaching the northern French coast.

Have you ever taken the before the Chunnel, this very boat ferries across the English Channel. It's

called the vomit Express.

It's unbelievable. I don't do not understand how a small boat can make that trip. Well, a lot

of them don't. I guess a lot of them don't make it. Well, back to the knife attack, which was referenced in that clip. I thought I remembered the name Solingen. I couldn't. I couldn't put my finger on it. Do you know the nickname of solingan, or what they call it? No, the city of knives, the Solingen knife company comes from,

oh, that's there is a nice Yes. It's

called the city of knives. Leave it to the city of knives. Ironic, yes, the irony is nuts. And now the the Berlin police commissioner came out with some tips and tricks to employ if this happens and you're around and someone is going crazy, stabbing people. The the police commissioner said, Do something unexpected, like making a phone call or singing very loudly. This is, this is the brilliant idea how to thwart yourself from being stabbed to death by a knife
attack. Just sing loudly. Oh yes. And then this very sad news from NPR regarding knives. All right, here's
a question, what is a knife without a blade? That is not a riddle or a Zen Buddhist paradox? It's a question that the maker of the Swiss Army Knife has just answered in the form of a new line of pocket knives without blades, they will still have the screwdriver fear, not also the nail file, the bottle opener, but not the classic flip out blade. Victorinox, the company behind the ubiquitous multitool, has made hundreds of millions of Swiss Army knives since the late
19th century. But this is a first. The company's CEO told Swiss media this week that the decision was made because some countries have increased the regulation of knives in response to violent crime. Yeah, this is not the first time Victoria Knox has had to pivot based on current events when sharp objects like pocket knives were banned from planes after 911 the company leaned into
watches and luggage and leisure wear and even fragrances. The new bladeless pocket knives are in development now, and aficionados will still be able to purchase the classic swiss army knife.

I love this story. We should do hammers that are just a piece of wood with no head on it. It's a screwdriver without a shaft. And what is a Swiss Army Knife without a blade?
Dumb, yes.

What I mean? What is the world? And I remember we used to say, hey, they're banning knives in England. No. Not true. There's no knife crime, yes, meanwhile, we're running around with nine mils everywhere. Yeah, it's

a better idea, you know, because when you shoot somebody, everybody notices, because it makes a lot of noise. It's very loud, it's very noticeable. Yes, yeah. So you can get out. You can run out of the way with some of the knife and people left it right? You scatter? Yes,

you can scatter. Yeah, unless, of course, you're President Trump and you know, and you're just walking around with a with an AR 15, and you're hanging out. Did you hear the latest details? You see they had pictures of the gun, and

I have the FBI investigate shooting NTD, which details what they did. Well,

let me play mine first, because NTD is such a

doom. Yeah, there they do to complete a job of actually giving you the information.

Well, this is there's only one little bit in here that I think is good.
The FBI giving an update this afternoon on its investigation into the assassination attempt a former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, that update, including the release of some new pictures showing the gun backpack and undetonated explosive device belonging to the shooter, Thomas crooks investigators saying that they have been able to conduct an extensive analysis into the research he conducted before the attack. However, they say no
clear motive has emerged. Investigators say crooks searched the dates and locations of campaign rallies for both Trump and President Joe Biden today, the FBI also saying that crooks was on the roof for just six minutes before he fired eight rounds at the former president. Trump's ear was injured in that shooting, one rally, goer was killed, two others were injured.

Oh, it was only six minutes. Six minutes. Are you kidding me? And listen to how that was reported. Oh, it was only six minutes. What he was on the roof for six minutes. That's outrageous. Six

minutes is a if we stop talking right now for six minutes, everyone would stop tuning it did. Six minutes is a long time, I agree, of especially dead air. But so the guy gets up on the roof. He's up there for six minutes, I would say, over five minutes before anybody

even saw him. No, you just say only six is how you report on it. Well,

that's the way to report only six. But six is you got all these guys, spotters, guys, you know? Yeah,

I mean, people do a, you know, mechanical bull for eight seconds. If that do I want to play your NTD report or didn't mind cover it? I

think it's pretty much the same story. It's a little longer. No,

it's the same length, 46 seconds.

No, it was the same, basically the same story. Okay, let's go to this catch up with some campaigning news. Oh, okay, what painting?

Oh, they were I missed the queue. I'm queue
you look queueless. Vice President Harris is in Georgia. Former President Donald Trump is holding campaign events in battleground states this week, the very states that could decide the election. NTDs Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has an update on Trump's campaign. Former President Trump is holding campaign events this week in key battleground states. Nothing is scheduled for the former president but his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, has two
rallies today. He's speaking in Erie, Pennsylvania and in De Pere, Wisconsin. Tomorrow, Trump is holding a town hall in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and on Friday, a rally in johnsontown, Pennsylvania, Trump said he'll be attending the scheduled presidential debate hosted by ABC on September 10 in
Philadelphia. He initially wanted to ensure the same rules as the debate with CNN with President Biden, rules, including that candidates microphones should be muted while the other is speaking, and they will be standing and they cannot bring notes. RFK, Jr, who recently dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump, has pulled his name off
the ballots in several states. He remains on the ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin, both of them swing states, even though Kennedy tried to remove his name, state laws don't allow it. It will be interesting to see if that actually impacts the votes. Now this all comes as Trump's campaign added Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard to his presidential transition team. Gabbard is a former Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii who ran for president in 2020

Okay, a couple things. One, I think we should analyze and think for a moment about the next person who will join the Trump campaign? There has to be more. They can't be shooting their all their wad on RFK Jr in Tulsa. We've got to have more coming in.

Oh, don't you think that I never considered this?

Oh, there's got to be another big name that joins. It has to be a surprise, like Alfred. Lincoln. That'll never happen, but someone, someone of great stature. Could there be anyone who is not a complete

for it to be, which is rare in that party, but it has to be a disaffected person uh, who sees it. It'll reveal. It's the reveal will take place after the debate, and it will depend on how the performance of Kamala goes. You know, they kept trying to force the idea that she could have notes, and you know what that means? She'd have a big binder with tabs, a big, giant binder with tabs, and she'd be flipping it over and reading from these notes.

We, but we, I think we need someone from show business like Clooney, which will never happen, but he's out no but that level, someone, someone big, maybe not. I mean, this

show business doesn't really have a I mean, has no cash. I don't think this is impactful, and it's and these people are all pathetic, yeah, I don't know. I don't see anybody on the horizon. It'd be, it's a good I like the idea, oh, he

needs it. He needs to do it. It has to be seen. How about, how about Mike Rowe? Mike Rowe would be a good one.

Yeah, but Mike Rose already voting for him. Is he, far as I can tell, he's a Republican, yeah,

okay, Mike Rowe won't work. How about Bill Maher?

That would be interesting. I'll give you that one. Bill Maher, but he hates Trump so much that for him to change, to change at this point. Would it would be incredible, yeah, I just don't see it. I mean, it would be great, but I he's such, he's such a ideologue, yeah, and he really hates Trump. He says, Yeah, hates Trump, yeah,

yeah, visceral well, but he can still say, I hate him, but he's got the right ideas.

He could do that.

And I saw this. I saw an ad for this on X or it wasn't an ad, because I have premium free.

Oh, you paid. No, I

got it for free because I you'd say I got the blue check mark. You have the blue check mark too. You don't get to leave. You don't get ads. I don't get any ads. You get

ads. I mean, once in a while I think there's an ad in there. No, I think

it's just, I think it's just a post. And I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. Hello, everyone.
This is your favorite president, Donald J Trump, with some very exciting news, by popular demand, I'm doing a new series of Trump digital trading cards. You all know what they are. We've had a lot of fun with them. It's called the America first collection, 50 all new, Stunning Digital trading cards. It's really something. These cards show me dancing and even me holding some bitcoins. Here's the best part, I'm doing great things for my trump digital card collectors. First, there's the
real physical trump cards. Purchase 15 or more of my trump digital trading cards and we'll mail you a beautiful physical trading card. It's really, I think, quite something. Each physical trading card has an authentic piece of my suit that I wore for the presidential debate, and people are calling it the knockout suit. I don't know about that, but that's what they're calling it. So we'll cut up the knockout suit, and you're going to get a piece of it, and we'll be randomly autographing
five of them, a true collector's item. This is something to give your family, your kids, your grandchildren. Number two is to purchase 75 of my trump digital trading cards, and you will also be invited to join me for a gala dinner at my beautiful country club in Jupiter, Florida. We really have tremendous dinners with my collectors. Have a lot of fun together. We're gonna have a good time.

Okay, so I need to say a

few things about this unbelievable. First of all, this definitely tops the Bible, by the way,

yeah, well, the Bible, he was just endorsing. He wasn't actually selling it, but this, he's selling and so these are nfts, which is exactly the opposite of what the Bitcoin people want, which is just dumb. And then they say, Oh, I even got some bitcoins or whatever, but these are nfts. Gary Gensler has just come out and said nfts are securities, so he can expect another lawsuit. Oh, yep, they're unregistered securities.
You watch. He came out with it yesterday, and and it's true. Of course, they are, they are unregistered securities because you can trade them. Hello. They're called trading cards. So

Pokemon card is like, NFT is now going to be subject to, uh, Securities Exchange Commission. Are you telling me that?

No, because the. The Those are real cards. This is the digit. It's an NFT. It's a little different than a Pokemon Trading Card. It's the same with, with all these cryptos, they're all, they're all, they've all been deemed not commodities. But they except for Bitcoin, they've been deemed securities. I'm just, I'm just analyzing. It's obvious what's going to happen. Yeah, they're

gonna sue him. He's gonna make a fuss. And maybe it was designed for that, but

it's dumb and so and they cost $99 Yes, $7,500 you get invited to the gala. Okay, well, you can just donate $7,500

I don't think so. Well, maybe he just said it. I know what the price? Oh yeah, well, there'll be a bit. That means there'll be a the place will be packed with people, and you'll never get to meet him.

Yeah, no, no, that's 75,000 to meet him for a picture.
Oh yeah,

he knows what he's doing. Um, poll Paul came out according to Axios, more Americans embrace covid Vax untruths, which is an interesting choice of words,

untruths. Yeah. Big picture the finding they don't, so they say they don't embrace covid lies. Yes, the big

picture, says Axios. The findings from the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center are further evidence of how intense backlash to the government's at times muddled covid response eroded trust in public health, jeopardizing preparedness efforts to address future crises of mosquitoes. What they found, 28% of respondents to the survey incorrectly believed that covid 19 vaccines have been responsible for 1000s of deaths. Wait,

how can you incorrectly believe?

Thank you. I'm glad you caught that they incorrectly you believe

something. You just believe it. You believe it. I believe that the sky is green. You're incorrectly would go like this. I believe he believes the sky is green, although he's incorrect. They

should have said Believe, without evidence,

my favorite phrase, it turns out this is

up from 22% in June. 2021 the percentage, oh, who know this is falling? Okay, so the percentage who know this is false declined to 55% from 66% 22% believe the false idea that it's false idea, listen to this, that it's safer to get a covid
infection than to get the vaccine. Up from 10% in April 2021, months after the covid shots were rolled out, the percentage of those incorrectly believing that the covid 19 vaccine changes dn people's DNA nearly doubled to 15% from 8% Wow, you stupid Americans. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Meanwhile, I'd like to get some confirmation on this, because it comes from a sub stack in August 3333 nurses died suddenly.

Yeah, that's what's his name? There's one guy I can't remember his name off hand. Who? Dark Mark Crispin Miller. Mark Crispin, yeah, yeah. Miller, is

he full of crap?

All this is all he does. No, he's not full of crap. Okay? He just documents every buddy he can find who died before the age of 70, even though he does it goes beyond that too, uh, who they don't have a cause of death, and he just lists them all as as people who died from the VAX. Well, he's

not saying that. He's not, no,

it's what he No, well, I'm

implying, implying it. Was implying it, yes, with died. So

he's not saying it, but he's, that's what he's saying. Well,

we have a lot of nurses and doctors who are producers. I'd love to hear if they, if they are seeing similar numbers of of their their colleagues dying suddenly. I

know a lot of these colleagues have quit the business because they wouldn't get this shot. Because what they saw from people who did get this shot, and the next thing you know, they had to get the shot, they said, No, I'm not going to get the shot. I'm out of here. And that's caused the problem, same as in the military, with people who quit Baron sir

spud the mighty says that x apparently still banning. The hashtag died suddenly, what I thought it was free speech over there as Linda, Linda the knob twiddler Can't trust Linda. And then our Surgeon General came out with an interesting statement this week, as summarized in this clip,
I don't think it's a surprise that parenthood is stressful. I think Desiree Terry is the mother of three children. I think we've all been feeling it for a really long time, and it's wonderful to actually have some numbers to back it up. Terry is talking about the findings in a new surgeon general advice. Three. Dr Vivek Murthy says 48% of parents feel completely overwhelmed. That tells us we've got a real
challenge, and there's a lot that's driving that. You know, parents are they're not only contending with the usual stressors that come with being a parent, worrying about finances and safety, but they're also worried about how to manage social media and phones for their kids. Associate Professor of child psychiatry at the University of Chicago, Dr Holland. F Zell says parents' well being is crucial when it
comes to a child's well being. F Zell also says the finding about the role of social media in a parent's life was very revealing. Murthy also says employers should provide more paid leave for parents and access to affordable childcare and have policies in place that support parents and their mental health.

What kind of psychological warfare is this? I don't know so well. Don't Have Kids. What it sounds like to me? Oh, if you weren't worried enough about the cost and social media. It's going to stress you out. Yes, my daughter just turned 34 I'm still stressed out. That's what you do as a parent. It's one of the joys. That's why I want them all to have kids, to get back at them
and laugh. What do you think it is?

I have no idea. Psychological Warfare nuts. Cut off. There you go.

Oh, okay, that'll do it. Do you want to play one more clip or so? Just go straight into the

just from a gut felt show. This is a I'm wondering, if you can guess, this is Tom Chalu was the host. He's a funny comic who does Biden as an imitation. He's very good at it. This is hobbies that turn off women. Oh, but before we play it, what? What would you guess? Podcaster

and day trader, let's listen.

Those aren't hobbies. Those are vocations. The Internet gets reactive to hobbies deemed unattractive. Tonight, we
examine a viral social media post purportedly ranking men's hobbies by how attractive they're perceived by women. And much to my dismay, wait a minute.

Let me think. Let me think collecting Star Wars figurines. Is that on the list? Yes,

ah, I

got one another one would be Star Wars figurines, video gaming. Video gaming. Oh, you, you

saw this? No, no, I

did not. I'm just thinking of what I find detestable. Hosting
Gutfeld is near the bottom of the list. Now, we couldn't verify the scientific authenticity of this poll, but when has that stopped us? According to the chicks of this chart, playing video games is the number one fast track to the friend zone, followed by things like collecting figurines, doing magic, gambling and even building model trains.

You're four for four, don't you have model trains? I know you've got a model train set. So, yeah, you've got when

I was a kid collecting, I like trains a lot. I didn't build model trains, necessarily, but I do have, have kept an engine from the 50s that probably is worth something, but I haven't sold it, so it doesn't, can't prove anything, but I know guys as adults that do trains, and I do, and I do enjoy seeing a good train layout. It's very fascinating. There's a

very famous used to be disc jockey in Holland, Eric gsvart, and he came up a little bit before me, and he wound up being co owner of a very big, very popular radio station. Once commercial stations were radio 538, and he is all he, I mean, he has a train in his backyard that he can sit on.

Oh, that that's Walt. Disney had one

of those and and so now he's, I think he's obviously still a shareholder, but I don't think he works necessarily anymore in the radio business. He's probably about five years older than me, and now he drives the tram. He's a tram conductor in, I think, in, I don't know if it's Rotterdam or Amsterdam, and he's always posting pictures. Well, going to work today, gonna drive the tram.

Wow, that's a guy who's dedicated to much something about it. Yeah, train, you know, train and pushing the lever and making it go, yeah, there's

no evidence. He hangs out with hot chicks.

Saren Denzil, Christian grillik, step on up. Gentlemen, both of you have supported the no agenda show in the amount of $1,000 or more that qualifies you for a knighthood.

So I'm very proud hereby to pronounce Kate Diaz, Sir Knight Z and Sir loin of Winter Haven for you gentlemen, we have hookers and blow. That's

Okay, we start with the podcast is so good. Oh, that

one might win. Let's see. The podcast is so good. Wow, it's really a low level. You didn't make that yourself. Someone else did that for you. Let me try that again.
The podcast is so good.

That has no dynamics
sexism. This is blatant sexism.

Well, that would be appropriate for this show. Who was that? Megyn Kelly, exactly,

and for our last celebrity entry, nailed it, nailed
it, nailed it.

Who was that?
Who does that? Who said that

he has an adenoid an adenoidal voice, and he's podcasting all the time. Scott Adams, who that was Scott

Scott Adams. Oh no, no. Can't do Scott Adams. Here's my I only have one entry
breaking crazy. What freaking crazy?

You don't like freaking crazy. It

sounds like he's saying breaking No, freaking

All right. Well, I think we go with Megan. This
is blatant sexism. I

think that's the one we go with. I think so, yeah, I think that's a good one. Now, everybody, it's time before we wind up the show. It is John's Tip of the Day.
And sometimes Adam.

So there's a really good book. I'm going to plug a book come

into the mic.

I can't come in any closer without banging my nose. I'm going to plug a book called might of the chain. I don't like the title, but the book is fantastic. Might of the chain. Might, might the chain, forging leaders of iron integrity, another subtitle. I don't like that either, but the book itself is fabulous. It's from is by Mike studeman, a Rear Admiral, former retired who is actually something of a of a spook. He's now working for miter as a national security
fellow. And this book is it's outrageously interesting. In fact, it's got a blurb by Henry Kissinger, that says thoughtful and engaging. When I read the blurb, I said, one of those blurbs that you just write. I used to be an associate with John Brockman, the New York agent. And he told me very early on, he says, you know Alan watt, the guy who wrote all the books on Zen Buddhism. He said that guy, if somebody mentioned blurb, he says, I'm in and he would write the blurb. He would
write any blurb for anybody. And I've taken that same I felt the same way, always weirded out, but by people who say, Oh no, I have to read it first. I have to do this. So I read this thoughtful and engaging by Kissinger, I said he's one of those guys just writes phony blurbs. No, this book is the most thoughtful book I've ever run into, at least for a couple
of years. It's just loaded with information. If you are a business manager, a guy who wants to get into management, or if you're in the military, it's about leadership, and it's, it's, it's it's just so full of tips. It's, it's great. It's a meta tip. It's really a good book. So it's called might, I don't like the title. It could have been called a lot of different things, but might of the chain by stood studeman, s,
s, t, u, d, e, M, a, n, uh. Get a copy if you can. If you want to have something

good to read. Wow. A Reading Tip that doesn't happen often. Now,

I think once a month I'm going to try to do a book. No
commercials. More content. Your no agenda. Tip of the Day.

There it is. Your no agenda. Tip of the Day. Everybody. Beautiful. And that concludes our broadcast time. Let's see, yep, it's time end of show mixes, Professor Jay Jones, we got Dee's laughs and David kecta all coming in with end of show mixes, good to have you boys on board as usual. End of show. Let's see. That means we have something coming up next? Ah yes, behind the schemes with booberry and lavish live? Is it
live? I don't know if they're live, but there are. They're on the no agenda stream, which is 24/7 there's no reason to even turn. You know what we say in the old days, lock it in and rip the knob off. No. No agendastream.com, trollroom.io, and coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, and right where the future meet up in Fredericksburg, Texas, will be taking place FEMA Region number six in the morning. Everybody. I'm Adam curry,

and from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C Dvorak.

We will be here on Sunday. Please join us for more media deconstruction. You know you want it. You know you need it. Remember us at no agenda, donations.com, until then, adios, mofos, a hooey, hooey and such. I don't
know what's wrong with you, young people. You think you just fell off a coconut tree. I think that sounds pretty good. Every single day, pick up the kids and pay your bills, look lost and confused, so she'd lower everyone's income. Yes, I think that sounds pretty good. Is that a good thing? That is a good thing. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? Who the hell is in charge? I don't know what's wrong with you young people, because she is smart and she is more reliable. Who
the hell is in charge? What do you think about Donald Trump? He started World war three? Yeah, yeah. That's just not true. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? I think that sounds pretty good. The leader, who's tough, tested, yeah, yeah, that's just not true. A total badass, Sam, you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? Look lost and confused, so she lowered everyone's income. Everything is in context.

Is that a good thing?
That is a good thing. You think you just fell out of the coconut tree. They don't care about me at all, at all, at all. Who the hell is in charge because she is smart and she's more reliable. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interest. That's great. I don't know what's wrong with you young people.
The leader who's tough. Hey, this scorching heat is is happening globally, in Canada, and it's unrelenting. And one climate scientist at Berkeley, you may have read this, Dave said that this is absolutely Gob, smackingly bananas. And that's coming

from a scientist. Oh no, a scientist used the word gobsmack.
Yeah, malicious malaria, mosquitoes are back. Another gates invention with this theory a mental attack stick a thermometer in this Jacuzzi. Planet scorching, torrential roti. I think I know who planned it. Gobsmackingly bananas. Ocean's a hot tub, and now they want to cancel winter in Canada. It's pretty chilly here all year. Survey everything and stop almost nothing. Old is the new fear. What's the cost for you? Citizenship, my boss,

it's a Jacuzzi planet. I'm
so cross claiming privacy is necessary to protect the neck only real way to keep the masses really in check, because they don't really rally, distracted with the day to day, the grind. I mean, the dreck. They don't really rally. Distracted with the day to day, the grind and the dreck, global citizen, never made sense to me. You can only live your life as a private, sovereign entity. Can we all agree collectivism over your individuality is a hell of a schism if

you're going to stick a thermometer in the planet, yeah, to get an accurate temperature, wouldn't you stick it into into the planet's butthole, or Toronto, as it were,

I already made, sorry.
I think that, listen, we today is actually, I believe, an anniversary, in terms of Dr King, right? And, and we, I was just in Selma, and we celebrated, to acknowledge the 59th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday. I think it's really important that we as Americans always embrace our history, the parts that we're proud of, and the parts that we're not proud of, but that we can't forget. And we should all agree that we
should teach history. We should learn history if we're to ever have an accurate idea of where we want to go and where we don't want to go in the future, and that means also acknowledging the importance of diversity. It means acknowledging the importance of the fact that everyone should have an equal opportunity to compete and equity. And of course, includes, you know, hey, let's look around the room and see who's not here. And. Did we leave the door open?
Kamala, you've done a horrible job. You've been the worst vice president in the history of our country. Kamala, you're fired. You're fired. Get out. Get out. Yes. Queen, yes. Queen, this podcast is on universe. Podcast.org/n, a, this is blatant sexism. I.
