1699 - "Entomophagy"

It's over the hill. Adam curry. John C Dvorak,

Sunday, September 29 2024 this is your award winning gibo nation. Media assassination, Episode 1699,

this is no agenda,

celebrating climate week and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas new country, right here in FEMA Region. Number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry

for Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all saying, stop advertising and promoting gambling to the American public. I'm John C Dvorak. It's Craig

Vaughn and buzzkill in the morning,

I hear it's very bad for people.

Yeah, I've heard that too.

It's like, it gets people all addicted, and then they lose all their money. Yeah,

yeah. But Mimi used to. Mimi used to when she was younger. Was a kid, high school, I guess she used to live in Reno. Oh, boy, she's and she says she shot

a man in Reno just to watch him die, didn't she? She

remembers these new kids that would come into the high school, yeah. And then they within six months, the one or two of the parents had a gap immediately, gambling habit, sure. And they had to leave the city, had to move back to California, Iowa, or wherever they came from, because they were, they just went broke. But people are so pathetic. She lost

Well, I'm glad that you're sharing this with us, so everybody can check themselves, check yourself, people.

Well, I got, got why I said this is because I'm watching the football stuff today, you know, in the morning, before the game started, and they have all these different analysts Come on, and they're all recommending various bets. This is on the sports shows,

just doing it in the in the content of the show itself. Now,

yes, it's gone that bad. They have DraftKings and all these couple, two, three, these gambling operations. And they're, it's not even legal in California, but still, really. And they're, they're just promoting bets. They're promoting people to throw money away. Do

they have prop bets? My favorite prop bet? Yes. Prop bets, mostly prop, almost

everything's a prop bet.

Hey, are they coming to take you away. What's with all the sirens?

I don't know. You know, this has been, it's been like living in New York.

It's because Kamala was in town.

I don't know what it is, but there's a lot of Sirens of late. Yeah,

you know, Kamala was in town, and it was, it was, it was quite the spectacle.

Yes, I saw that. I maybe have some clips I do. I saw I saw the news coverage. It's pathetic.

Vice President Kamala Harris is here, but her trip tonight into San Francisco might have had an obstacle or two. Our crews spotted a way low vehicle that had to be driven away from the motorcade route by police. Vice President Kamala Harris makes what could be her final visit to California before the election. A little after 830 Friday evening, the VP touched down at SFO as her motorcade arrived at the Fairmont San

That's great some way. Mo advertisement there. That's good, that's good, yeah, and I guess she went to the border. Was that the California, Mexico border that she went to?

I don't know. I thought it was Arizona. Oh,

I just presumed that it was California. That was

yesterday, I think, and it was like it was a nothing burger, kind

of you said nothing burger? No, I

did. I appreciate it on purpose. And so she goes there, and then she starts blaming Trump for all the border issues.

Yes, this is, well, she I have this short clip where this is just one of those unbelievable things that she says is great. Earlier

in the day, Harris made her first trip to the border in Arizona in years. Harris expressed a tougher stance on illegal immigration. She spoke with local Border Patrol Leaders as they walked along the wall. There are consequential issues at stake in this election, and one is the security of our border. The United States is a sovereign nation, and I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them.

Wow. Okay, you know, the funny thing about that I didn't get that I saw that clip. I should have grabbed it. I'm glad you did, because I'm giving you a clip of the day, because that is unbelievable. Oh, thank you

very much. Well, Bob, I have clips I think, and I'll do it.

I don't think so. Well, I mean, this morning, not to the height of hypocrisy.

Oh no, no, no, not. And by the way, for people who tune in like, Hey, I listen to that no agenda show, sounds like they got an agenda. Yes, we're against idiots. We're against liars, liars and idiots. Which former President Trump takes it to the next level. This is the clip that was being played all morning on the M 5m Joe

Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way.

So of course, none of them played it in context, which we will do now we will do yes, of course, borders

are Harris went to the border to lie in the most

Yeah. So a little more context.

It's a much better clip in context. Oh,

of course it is. It also makes more sense. But that's not what they do. That's not what the media does. And by the way, just because, you know, there's always people who say, Yo, Trump, he never lies, right? He never lies.

You must have got some nasty email this morning.

That's just the troll room. What are you talking No, no, I

want to mention something that, since you brought that into that clip, which is the number of, you know, the, I guess somebody in ice decided to release the numbers, yeah, of number of known criminals that have been released into the country, the hundreds of 1000s, basically.

yeah, I haven't seen it yet, in the frontline, frontline interview

firing line. She

needs to lay off the lip gloss.

Well, Hoover has always been kind of a bogus, conservative. She's an old, some old school style. I'm

just saying just as a as a production, television production. Tip back off, on the lip gloss, Hoover, it looks creepy. Well,

she's creepy, yeah, so maybe you're

was on now, one we call the bream Queen bream

was on Gutfeld. And. They were talking about lawfare and how these five cases against Trump all kind of happened at the same time with all a bunch of people that quit the Justice Department and gone to these different areas to all do this all at once, indictments of Trump and bremo. No, no, there's no way that's a coin. That's just a coincidence.

Really, what is she doing?

She is a she is an Ajahn provocateur. She should not be out at Fox at all, but she's got this, you know, nice smile and you're making like a fox girl. That's

why she's at Fox. We know Fox is no good. It's no better than the rest.

Yes, yes, I know. I'm just trying to, I I'm normalizing the concept that she's, you know, that, yeah, I agree at at a base levels, that sucks. Is no good. But anyway, I just that was a pet peeve of mine. I got, got out of this, out of the system.

And unfortunately, when, when Trump went through that list, he said he forgot to say, they rob you forgot, and they forgot. They're eating the dogs. He should just throw that in from time to time. I miss that.

Have you seen the tick tocks of all these girls dancing to a to a mix of he's they're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats.

I've, I've seen different mixes of their eating the cats eating dogs, but haven't seen the girls dancing to it, because, John, that's

your Tiktok dipshit dancers.

Is that like the solid gold dancers? The Tiktok dipshit dancers? Yeah, exactly. It's

a new version.

So right on cue with this news that there's over 600,000 criminals Aurora Colorado, I guess they put out a press release, and I I guess they haven't, or from what I understand, they have a new police guy. Like, did they throw out the old guy? And we missed that, because I think in this report, it says there's a new police chief.

I didn't hear this either. Oh, well,

this so listen to how they downplay the apartment complex issue. Good

evening and thank you for joining us for Denver Seven News at Five on this Friday. I'm Jessica Porter and I'm Jason grenauer. First, Aurora officials are threatening to close two apartment complexes over safety concerns they say include an uptick in crime and deterioration. Denver seven's Veronica Costa got the internal communications where officials recommend the management company

notice they got addresses internal communications. Yeah, that's a leak internal

communications where officials recommend the management company addresses the quote, criminal nuisance or face the

consequences. It's criminal nuisance. See, it's in our internal communications. It's not TDA, it's no gang. It's just criminal nuisance. Two apartment

complexes in Aurora with dozens of people living in them could suffer the same fate as the apartments on 1568 gnome Street, which was shut down weeks ago. The Edge of Lowry and 200 Columbia apartment complexes are the target of two letters signed by aurora's new chief of police, Todd Chamberlain, deeming them quote criminal nuisance properties in violation

it's a nuisance. It's just a criminal the way they downplay it. That was actually quite good. Well, that's

what you do with it. When an internal communication suddenly winds up at the six o'clock local news on Denver seven. I mean, yeah, of course, a criminal nuisance, the real nuisance, which I'm so happy I got a clip of this, because I've only been hearing about it and and been seeing the the headlines. And this is about the looming strike, which would kick off on Tuesday of the long the long wish of the Longshoremen.

But today's world, it's changing into the future. They're not making millions. No more. They're making billions, and they're spending it fast as they make it. I want a piece of that for my men, because when they made their most money was during covid, when my men had to go to work on those piers every single day, when everybody stayed home and went to work. Not my men. They died out there with the virus. We all got sick

Yeah, but wait, there's more and a threat at the end,

they go out of business. Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in, the steel is not coming in, the lumber is not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody,

by the way, does this guy sound like George Carlin? Or what?

You know, he has a George I was wondering what he sounded like, and I didn't catch that, that angle of it. Yes,

the steel is not going Yeah, coming in, the lumber is not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody's hating the longshoreman now, because now they realize how important our jobs are. Now I have the president screaming at me, I'm putting a TAF Harley on you. Go ahead. Taft Harley means I have to go back to work for 90 days after cooling off period. Do you think when I go back to 90 days Those men are going to go to work on that pier? It's going to cost the money the company's

I will cripple you. Well,

there's a couple of interesting aspects of this. One is that the longshores did an agreement on the West Coast, and he doesn't mention that. But no, he does not. He does not. He does. He talks about Texas, the Maine, he doesn't talk about the West Coast. And so I'm just just stay if, if people are looking for investment opportunities,

not investment advice, I know

just opportunities. I don't, and I don't know what they would be, but if the if they shut down the east coast. The West Coast will be booming with activity. That means Seattle, Portland, Oakland, Long Beach, all up and down the coast. The these ports will be filled because everyone has to be redirected so and so. That means the rail out here and everything else is going to be busier. It's going to be ridiculous. The fact is, we're going to be swamped. Well, you

have those ships sitting out at at sea again, of course, because they won't be able to handle that's

what will end up happening. The whole Bay will be filled with a bunch of boats, and

prices will have to go up because of that. Also just the now

nightmarish at this at one hand, on the other hand, it's going to be a boom, at least locally, on, you know, the West Coast. Well, bully for you. Well, I'm, I'm not looking forward to it. The traffic's bad enough. Yeah, no kidding, because that means the trucks will be loading and, you know, me, the place, just the freeways will be filled with trucks getting this stuff as far east as it can, even though you once

good news is Washington, DC will be affected by this, so that will, that will get their attention. Now. Taft Hartley, Taft Hartley, I think, is what it is that's a provision that the the president can call call upon to force the union, I

have to review that again. I forgot what, how they could.

Well, he made it sound like, okay, that means we have to go back to work for 9090, days, and we'll be working. Yeah,

unions call it, but this,

and he makes an incredible. Valid point, like, oh, we had to work. We were essential workers during Covic. As he said, Covic, you mean covid? This guy was authentic, man. He's got tats. He's, you know, he's got the big chain Sherman, their bicycle chain around his neck. Yeah, they're not good on him. We need a little bit of crippling here. Wake people? Well, no, we

don't wake people up.

Get them, get them. Get them. Get them. He's

right. He did say one thing in there that I thought was very noteworthy, which was, nobody knows what a real strike is like in our current in our current environment. The millennials don't know what it's like. The disease. Don't know what it's like. Most of the you know, the the Gen X Don't, don't, have never experienced a real strike. And now whether there's going to be one or not, is another issue. Well, they

got it two days. Yeah, we'll see.

Yeah. I don't know exactly what

the real strikes, a real strike, a real bad thing.

Yeah, what happened to Boeing? Did that get resolved after their final and best price?

I have no idea what's going on there. I didn't, well, I didn't follow it close enough. So I don't know what's going on, but it's nothing like what this. This is a big deal. The Boeing thing is a, you know, just the one company. No

talks broke off without progress. So no, yeah, so

they can stagger along. That's not going to affect the economy much.

Well, it's probably good because, well, you heard the latest about Boeing.

No this morning, another black eye for Boeing. Black Eye for Boeing, the NTSB issuing an urgent safety warning over a key part in some of its embattled 737 Max jets, just the latest blow to one of the world's biggest aviation companies, which has faced a series of setbacks this year, including an ongoing strike and that door plug blowout in

The rudder pedals are pretty important for landing in particular, also for takeoffs. You know, in flight also, but you really can't land with a crosswind if you don't have a rudder pedal. It's going to be very difficult, as

they landed at Newark International in that incident, the plane landed safely. The rudder is that vertical fin on the tail of the airplane that pilots use sometimes, whenever they need to counter a stiff crosswind, or if there's an engine failure. It's not used all the time, but it's there for a reason, and that's for potential emergencies or maneuvering ability.

It's that's a little disingenuous. You need the rudder. It's just you need or you can't. The flying the aircraft without a rudder is no good.

NTSB investigators say testing determined a sealed bearing was incorrectly assembled during production, and that Collins aerospace, which manufactures that part, notified Boeing that more than 350 had been delivered to Boeing Since 2017 and were affected. In a statement, Boeing says last month it informed affected 737, operators, airlines, of the potential problem, adding they're working with a supplier

so it's already done. The no panic, just united. They had dudes and dresses replace the parts. It's all good to fix it. They fixed it. It's all good. Their CEO dude in a dress. Come on. It's we wrapped up climate week, and you and I didn't even notice, yeah, we kind of missed it. I'm sad. There was so much else going on, and NPR was all over it. They had a climate solutions week. Is what they had on the on the air.

I was listening to it all along. I never heard in

here. Oh, well, it was. It was mainly centered in New York. Is where that was the headquarters of climate week. And just you know, NPR has big problems with their podcast division. It's essentially closing.

But should they got no good podcasting, and they keep promoting them and ruining the normal programming.

Well, I got the credits from the shortwave episode. Is called shortwave, which is the NPR podcast, and then this is the Climate Solutions edition of shortwave. Maybe if we listen to the credits, we can understand why they're going out of business. This

episode was produced by Hannah chin and edited by our showrunner, Rebecca Ramirez Tyler Jones. Checked the facts. Yes, the audio engineer was James Willetts. Beth Donovan is our senior director, and Colin Campbell is our senior vice president of podcasting strategy. I'm Regina Barber, thanks for listening to show wave.

We need a vice president of podcasting strategies on this show, and a showrunner. I want a showrunner, a showrunner. Dana Brunetti should be our show runner. He would be good at being our show

he considered, he probably considers that lousy job. Oh, it's

the well, he was a show runner, right? Wasn't he the showrunner

for a house of cards? No, I

think he was the showrunner. I think he was, yeah, it's a showrunner. Is You're the boss. I mean, you're, you're making it happen, and you have to take the licking, and you have to go show

runner for people out there, they never give them credit. The credit is on according to they have to, you know, there's all these rules nowadays that the Producers Guild and the directors go, they have these rules about how you show credits. You know, they say used to be in the automation. They show all the credits at the beginning of a movie. Now they're at the end. The trick to finding the show runner of a show is the last executive producer listed before the

because it sounds demeaning, which

it does sound. It sounds pretty lame. That's

the job. We have to bend over for the network.

They really should be called boss,

and they have to go back to the productions guys, the network doesn't like it. Darren O'Neill says he'll be our showrunner, which is fine by me. He is already. He's right. Rock and roll show runner. Um, anyway, but do you want to do a little bit of fun climate stuff? Just for

for young I only have the eating bugs part of the whole thing. If you want to do climate stuff, I don't really have anything on climate. What

is, what is the eating bug stuff? Well, there's

a podcast, yeah, another

podcast today's podcast you

don't do.

And this is called the can I bug you? Podcast, are they and like all, are they pro bug? They're pro eating bugs. And this is like a podcast about eating bugs, and so they and it's one of the problem. You know, I most podcasts are not very good. No, I don't know if people have noticed, but they're lame. People don't really feel comfortable talking into a mic. It's just a million things. It's

gonna take out all of the pauses and the ums and it'll sound great. Yeah.

So we have this podcast. Hello,

listeners. Are you hungry? Hey, this looks like a good spot to rustle up some grub. Ew, what's that? Hey, grub, what's it look like? Ew, gross. Tastes like chicken, slimy yet satisfying bugs. Is food. That's what we're here to talk about. Hold

on. So they have this reasonably well edited opening montage, you know, is like, which make just come from cartoons. As far as I can tell, sounds like a cartoon, yeah. And then they go into the podcast, and it's like this big room, and you hear the room and everything. This is very painful to listen to for me,

slimy, unsatisfying.

Oh, Lion King, yes, that's where it's from.

Exist food. That's what we're here to talk about on today's episode of Can I bug you our every other weekly deep dive into the wide, weird world of insight. It's a deep

dive. You sure? It's not AI this podcast,

pretty sure. I'm UC Riverside spokeswoman, Jules Bernstein. I'm here with my co host, Doug yannicka, who is the senior scientist at UC Riverside's entomology research Museum. Hey, Doug. Hello. Hey Doug. And our special guest today is Erin Wilson Rankin, a professor of entomology here at UCR. She studies the ecology of arthropod communities and teaches a course for non majors called the natural history of insects, which introduces the subject of entomophagy, the idea of intentionally uses using

on. Entima Fiji, is that what she said, this is a good term, entomophasia.

I think F,

A, E, G, E, P,

H. I think there's a P H in there.

P. Beige because, of course, it's different than people unintentionally consuming insects in their food, which they most certainly do. Hey, Aaron, Hi. Do you happen to have any information about how many insects are allowed in food products per the US Food and Drug Administration? I know for a couple things that are, you know, particularly important to me, chocolate, but you can have, it's allowable to have, you know, 5060, pieces of insect in 100 grams of chocolate. Oh,

and they're doing this too. There, there are bugs in everything. Now you just go look at the supermarket. It has different names, but there's bug bugs, bug dust, bug SAP, all kinds of bug stuff.

Um, you can have a lot of aphids. 2500 aphids per 10 grams of hops. So if you're a beer drinker, there might be some extra sweetness coming from the insects. Does that add extra protein? Possibly, there's such small amounts that I don't know if it's going to be statistically significant, and it probably gets filtered out. I mean, there's particulate matter. Well, some people find this gross, but others think insects are the food of the future. Get into today, food

of the future. Sorry, entomaji, e, n, t, O, M, O, P, H, A, G, u, y, also to be pronounced as mtimo, faggy, depends on where you come from. Practice of eating insects. Alternative term is insectivory to Yes, that's what I would use, insectivory, yes, Hmm. Well, what you just heard is, is, is

word I don't remember. Yeah, yeah, let

me just cricket flower is, can't find it now, food. Thank you. Troll room, just call it food. Cricket flowers.

You think flour?

There it is. Thank you. Cuisson, a cheetah powder, A, C, H, E, T, A, A cheetah powder. Yeah,

that's better, probably term than flour. Flour, F, l, o, u, r, uh, indicates to me, something that's from grinding some sort of a plant product. No,

you're grinding a cricket, like

cricket, it's like, is there beef flour? Is there dog flour? I mean, no doubt the Haitians know that.

No doubt so. But yeah, but that's all allowed by the FDA, so people just put it in there, and it's part of the climate change narrative. I think for a moment, since we have a guest on this MSNBC show who is known to the show for many years and comes from this period, we need to open it up to the

gate, to the gate to the climate gate. So

yes, the climate gate jingle started for us. I'm going to say 2009

it was right during climate gate. So you'd have to figure out when that was

yes. Well, that's why it's a jingle, and it was Michael Mann. Was the guy who was falsifying his his notes was chain Well, modifying them

because it didn't make, I think falsifying is a better word, can I? Yeah,

that's probably correct. Was changing his, his notes and his formula, and it was found out. It was a big scandal. It

was a it was a hack

email, yes, oh, it was a glitch, a glitch and a hack. And, yeah, so it was a hack that the emails came out and and, of course, they denied it was a scandal. It was a big scandal. We covered it quite extensively, being it.io you can hear all of it. So Michael Mann shows up with Katie tour on MSNBC for climate week with, well, can you guess who he's

I can think of a number of people, but unfortunately, I can't get Francis Collins out of my mind since I saw him the other day bullshitting about vaccines. No, it's not Francis. It's better than a hand. Is the only the guy it should get, but you don't see him anymore. No, no. Hansen is the guy who came up with the first no hockey stick.

I'm disappointed you didn't guess

Helene is breaking records in the southeast, as the UN is holding its climate week here in New York, where scientists and world leaders have met to discuss concerns about bigger and stronger storms, along with temperature changes across the globe Joining us now, science educator and the Planetary Society CEO, Bill Nye, you know well,

you should have said a big phony. We all know very well. Science edu is not a sign who's not a climatologist in any ways, electrical engineer or something,

but he has a new outfit.

Listen to this outfitter and the Planetary Society. CEO, Bill Planetary Society,

bro, we need one of those nine. You

know now and University of Pennsylvania, presidential, Distinguished Professor of Earth and Environmental Science and author of our fragile moment, how lessons from Earth's past can help us survive the climate crisis and a whole lot of other books. Michael, Mann gentlemen's really great to have you. Oh, it's

great to have you. Well, let's,

let's have Michael stop.

I'm just going to, I'm going to do a little mind reading here. I'm a certain that Katie tour brings up the climate gate issues and Michael Mann being a big phony by by fudging numbers, and he she confronts him like a good journalist would. Right your

mind, reading is off the charts, so far off that it's not on the chart.

You were nodding your head as Melissa was talking. Marissa was talking about rapid intensification, yeah, something we talk a lot about these days. You know, these storms intensify now.

This is the extreme. What remember back in the climate gate days it was global warming. This is before it became climate change, because the warming was provably not happening. Then it was, weather is not climate, but now extreme weather events is climate, yes, far

more rapidly than they used to. And there's basic underlying science that predicted that decades ago. I'm sorry.

I have to No, no, that's fine, doesn't that's fine, that's fine. I can't emphasize enough, since you brought it up, it just reminded me. I can't emphasize enough, since we've been doing this this long enough, almost 17 years, yeah, the idea that weather isn't climate was extreme was punctuated and pounded on the table to no end. Weather is not climate. Weather is not climate. That's all they talked about. Now they changed it. Let

me see if I have a weather is not climate. We have a lot of those. What is this?

In India, a severe heat wave has shattered the national benchmark for the hottest day on record, as the temperature in the city of halodi topped a staggering 123 degrees Fahrenheit. Several 100 people have died so far from the extreme temperatures across India, increasingly Deadly Heat waves have been linked to climate change. That

was mistitled. I should look for them honestly. I should go back and look for them. But they Yes. They kept on saying weather is pounded the table over it. Yes, weather is not climate. Weather is and that

was because it was they were they brought some stuff up during the winter. Look, it's freezing out. What are you talking about? Weather's

not climate. All right, back to back to Michael Mann, with the rapid intensification

basic underlying science that predicted that decades ago. You warm up the oceans, there's more energy, more evaporation of moisture from the ocean that provides the energy to intensify these storms. They intensify faster, and we are seeing that. And the threat is, you know, as you heard here, you have less time to prepare, because something that was just a WEAK tropical storm is a major, a major hurricane, within a matter of 24 hours, they had a lot

of time that's never happened before.

It's, it's rapid intensification. And, by the way,

did, oh, I got, I got it. I got this time. I can do it. Okay, she's gonna ask about, you know, that they had a, they had no major hurricanes in 2023 How do you account for that?

No, the next she's now going to move to Bill Nye. She's going to move to Bill Nye. So we need Bill Nye to put in some scientific evidence, some scientific analogy, a metaphor, something that we can understand.

I keep hearing people say, you know, climate scientists go out and they say, it's the end of the world. The climate change is here. Disaster is coming, but everything's been fine. And then I look at them, and I said, What about that hurricane or what about that fire? There are this country that are not fine. It's not happening. You know, it's not, you know, the end of the world, like in a science fiction movie at the moment, but there are real life effects around people

are being killed by

climate. Well. It's also when your power goes out, that's when the end of the world gets us in the developed world, and people who live in that area now have just not just rainwater flooding, but flooding from the ocean, which is salty, which rusts your car, and then you can't get insurance.

Bill. Nye comes in with some with a factoid we all need it because your How about your car blowing up in the garage because it's an electric vehicle? How about that? Bill didn't notice that one. Obviously, these two guys are here for a reason.

You had a climate week this week. Any consensus happening? We're just one. We're just one international meeting from solving from solving it, yes. Oh, just one more. No, everybody. Oh, it's humor. People say to me, Bill Nye Science Guy, Bill Nye, people

come up to me, Hey, Bill Nye Science Guy, imagine that. People come up to me. Said, Adam curry podfather, oh, wait, some people do that. People say

to me, Bill, my science guy, what can I do about climate change? What can I do about climate change? We'll tell you what people's vote right now. We hear so much about the undecided voters, and this is I'm being as diplomatic, generous, magnanimous. How can you not tell the difference people? One side is in support of doing something about these massive problems associated with climate change. The other side is pretending it's not

Suppress the science. You okay, maybe you should just explain what you really want the people to hear. Bill Nye science guy. A

lot of people, when they hear that, though they think, God, you guys are being You're being too crazy, you're being too strict, too harsh. I like my way of life, okay, I like my car ordering things on Amazon. I like all the plastic, yes, but that's the thing. I mean, it is so ingrained in our life, and what they're looking for is for science to come up with a way to solve this. We clap up.

Do we have a scientific solution? John is his solution to the science I am

befuddled by this whole thing. Well, he's she's a she is useless, and he's an idiot. I mean, I don't get it. Why would they even put this on the air? Oh,

the reason is coming now, on

our side of it, we claim that we have enough energy to take care of everything right now, if we just could apply it. And so the longest journey begins with about a single step. We will phase out fossil fuel use, and they will we will phase in renewable energy, but just when it comes november 5, everybody, you've got to vote for the Democrats, doing my best here. For many years, I've been the head of a of the organization that we work very hard to be political, but not

that's what this is, where you expected Clip of the Day. No, no, no. I thought the Trump, I'm telling you this is that was the most that that is not acceptable. NBC should be. NBC is bad enough. This is that head of Comcast. Again, I keep bringing him up. It's his this guy really that Comcast that should get rid of NBC because they're ruining the country. I

think, you know, we need a best of, Best of Show in the in the next couple of months. I think you should do an interview with Bill Nye science guy. I bet you can do it. I bet if you called up and say, Hey, I'm I'm a podcast you'd be like, Oh, you're a podcaster. Say, yeah. Like, probably wouldn't

do the due diligence he needs no to listen to the show, because once he did that, he would never agree to an interview. Do

you think he would? He would walk away while you were interviewing him? No,

he wouldn't agree to it. Oh, well, that's shameless.

Yeah, of course, we are thinking of all of our producers on the East Coast, south southeast, North Carolina.

You can say all you want. They're not listening well, you know,

some still have battery power, but this was a very odd storm. It was, you know, they said, I mean, I got so I told you that the reporting was strange. The reporting was off kilter, like it was, it was a lot of water, and it destroyed dams. But cat four,

that's, yeah. Didn't go, it looks like it didn't go, didn't

go, but there's a lot of destruction. But it wasn't that the winds weren't what anyone predicted. The winds were much, much calmer. Just a lot of water. And it was just water, just a lot of water. Yeah, a lot of water. So we are thinking of you producers lot of water.

And there was, I thought I was looking over my clipless I thought I had this clip. I know I had it. I guess I didn't produce it. I'm not sure what happened. But there was a great clip somebody sent me from, from Florida, one of the islands where some Tesla,

yeah, was caught far was blowing up in the garage. It blew up in

the garage and burnt down what looked to be a castle. I mean, this house was just as gorgeous because it was left a couple outer walls, because the house burned to the ground. And then the reporting, local reporting, talked about how all these electric scooters were going up boom, blowing up left and right, and there was Tesla's blowing up the salt water. This is very dangerous.

The Iron Oh, the irony of trying to save the climate with your EV and it catching on fire because of burning the place, burning the place down, I'd like so I have a couple of things I want to share as a mini presentation, but I share, you're gonna share. I'm gonna share a secret, only if we hold hands. But I what happened with Nasrallah? I think is something we have. We need you to do a deep dive.

I have a lot of Nasrallah clips, so that's why I'd like you to start follow up. No, no. I'd

like you to start it off. I'd like you to, like you to get it all out of your system, and then we'll do some analysis, because this was, I think, much bigger than people realize.

I find it distressing to be honest about it. I have a series of clips here from the Hezbollah leader, Hezbollah,

Hezbollah, let's just

start with them. NPR stuff. This is two clips from NPR

to many. Nasrallah is the leader of a terrorist organization, but others in the Middle East, as we just heard, he's viewed as a hero. NPR, Al shaachi is

this? Is this his leader? One? Yes, it is. You don't want to stop that clip? No, it has to come later. I'm sorry. Okay, what we want is HEZ summary, good one. NPR, Hezbollah

has vowed to retaliate after an Israeli airstrike killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iranian backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. The question of what's next for the two countries hinges on the war in Gaza and Piers Jaina RAF in Beirut has more on what it would take to get to a ceasefire. Hezbollah itself is really unwilling to accept a ceasefire. It made clear when it announced the

did you get a note from one of our Mohammed? Yes, Mohammed, I'm going to

talk about that in my presentation,

because I thought that was interesting. Let's go to summary too.

The Assassination Friday was an escalation of Israel's campaign against Hezbollah in a year long conflict, Hezbollah started firing on Israel just after Hamas attacked southern Israel October 7, leaving around 1200 dead and kidnapping around 250 relatives of the remaining hostages have called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ease up On hostilities until the hostages

This is the guy we have to remember who blew up the Marine barracks, killing 200 during the Reagan administration. Well, he's

been around for 30 years, right? Yeah, he's

been around forever, and it's like they can't, they couldn't get rid of him. The Israelis finally got fed up, I guess. Yeah. Because they used bunker busters to blow up that area. Yeah,

they, they got him like they had an eight second window and done.

But so, but this guy is, you know, he's not a he's a bad guy to us and the Israelis and everybody who's on that side of the argument, but he's a good guy. In fact, I get back and forth with some buddy bitching at us because we're playing. I'm gonna

talk about that too. This. That's actually what set me on down the road, down a different path. Well,

I do want to mention that 1701 which is a UN Secretary Security Council Resolution, 1701 which required the Hezbollah to move north, and for the Israelis to leave Lebanon in 2006 it was ignored by Hezbollah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna talk about news also ignored by this guy who kept writing us notes. I'm gonna read some of I'm gonna read that in a moment. But okay, well, I'm just setting this up. Yes. So let's

contradictory. I do have contradictory stuff. Yeah,

I will play before I get to the leader one. Well, let's go with his leader. Let's play that clip.

Nasrallah appeared on television for the last time on September 19, denouncing the Israeli pager operation. Cave. Retribution will come. He said it's manner, size, how and where that we will keep to ourselves. The White House said today that nasrallahs death was a quote measure of justice for many victims. Nasrallah is survived by his wife and four children. He was 64 hadil al shaachi, NPR news,

all right, he's been he's been doing this for a long time, if he was only 54 and then one more ancillary clip I just play this has love, hate clip, and then we can play the two clips about him. So

there was just this mix of emotions. There was mourning, but there was more than that. People here were confused. This is uncharted territory. People on the streets are also scared. They understand the gravity of the moment, and they also understand that no one can quite predict just what comes after this. Tell us. Tell us more about Nasrallah. What he represented in the region. He's

was this outlet

who did this particular report? The NPR? Oh, that's

NPR as well.

Yeah, most of this is NPR. So we're going to go, I mean, I can't trust the same clips from PBS news hour, but NPR seems to have the most, and I will say this, NPR, I think, was very sympathetic to Nasrallah. I think they were totally they played it like, oh, you know, this guy was the

greatest 64 his his four children, his wife, 54

I think he's 54 this is 64 is what I heard. Okay, yeah, it

would make more sense.

Family and family. Man, yeah, it

was a good family. Man,

so here we go with the last two clips. And this is the HEZ leader one

and two to many. Nasralla is the leader of a terrorist organization, but others in the Middle East, as we just heard, he's viewed as a hero and fierce. Hadil al shaachi takes a closer look at who he was.

That's some Hero talk right there in

a fiery speech at a podium in Lebanon, you heard,

I want you to keep that him yelling and screaming clip in mind with what you're about to hear

in a fiery speech at a podium in Lebanon in 2000 Hassan Nasrallah compares Israel's military capability to a weak spiderweb. Wallahi. Women. It was in this year that the long time Hezbollah leader became an icon. He had just led his militia in a war that pushed Israeli troops out of southern Lebanon, ending an 18 year occupation. Nasrallah was born to an impoverished Shiite family

He spoke with lis. I

didn't hear that.

I didn't catch the lisp.

Well, it's hard, I guess. Yes, it was Arabic, Arabic lisp. It's,

I don't know what that fed dies.

Okay. So she goes on, let's go to part that's the end of that. I think, yes, that is yes, yeah, go to part two.

Mohammed bezi is the director of the Center for Near Eastern Studies at New York University. He was speaking as if he was sitting with people in a cafe. He had this, okay, stop it.

Speaking to people like he was in a cafe. What

kind of Cafe is that? It's a loud one, adversity.

He was speaking as if he was sitting with people in a cafe. He had this accessible style that resonated with people. Was a hero to many Arabs, illusion with their own leaders. His son, Hedi, was killed fighting the occupying Israeli army in 1997 in extreme contrast to most of the other political leaders in Lebanon, whose children would be sent to Switzerland, to universities, and so that solidified that he was making the same kinds of sacrifices that he was asking other

that's, those are some good backgrounders. So

I think, by the way, this guy, the Sunnis, can't possibly like this character. He's killed Sunni Muslims. He killed American soldiers. I don't know why. Reagan actually backed off then and vacated the area once that bombing took place. He was a bad guy, but, but, okay, NPR plays him up as a family man and and he took sacrifice by not sending his kid to Switzerland, and with

a list, he's he's so with a lisp, he's so normal. All right, so we did indeed receive two emails, and one was from one of our producers, and I'll just read the opening to the email. I'll come back to it later. He says, on Thursday's show, John joked about you and him being shills for Israel, which would

There's a lot of irritating guys out there. He's one of them. That's one thing we've noticed over the years.

So we need to go back a year to October and girls. I want to mention and women. And women, we need to go back a year to October 7 last year. And I've just pulled a couple clips just for color. This is McGregor, who said the following, well, I should point out that I was in Israel three years ago in February of 2020, and I had the opportunity, because I was a guest of the IDF chief of staff, to visit the

Americans. We had to remember the extrapolation that constantly Yes, which I found offensive. Well,

because that, I believe that was a meme that was launched because it is indeed very hard to understand how Israel let their security lapse? We don't have to go through all the clips, but a cat could walk past that wall or that particular border structure, and bells and alarms and everything will go off, and machine guns start firing automatically, but no none of that, and it took them hours and hours to come to

are seeing here in the last 14 days, and specifically with the killing of Hassan nastrala, the leader of us designated terror organization, a man with American blood on his hands, and mainly, by the way, the blood of Syrian Muslims on

So as I'm listening to this podcast on the dog walk last night, what really triggered me was this next clip when he brought up UN resolution 1701,

all these calls for ceasefires were misguided, that the international community should have been focused on getting Hezbollah to move back, back north of the latani River, as it was mandated to do so under UN Security Council resolution 1701, after the 2006 Lebanon War. And for the last 11 months, there's been little to none of a serious effort to pressure Hezbollah. Yes, there's been some behind the scenes

the way this came across to me is, wait a minute. Everybody was just letting this happen. There was, there was no calls for, you know, that this was against. I mean, the minute something's against, the UN resolution, usually, and everyone's there, everyone's in New York, like, How come nobody said anything? So back to your guy from your clip, I pulled a little piece. His name is David wormer. He's the guy who had, I think was, an NTD clip.

He never lived up to its side of seven, resolution 1701 and that's now the Israeli demand that resolution 1701 be actually implemented. And if the UN and the World doesn't force on Hezbollah to live up to its terms, the Israelis will go in on the ground and force Hezbollah to live up to its terms.

So back to the email from the guy who talked about our incredible blunder he taught, he says, David wormer, a simple book of knowledge review would have sent up many red flags about this guy. He just heard, as per the book of knowledge, David wormer has a PhD in international relations from John Hopkins University. He worked in navy intelligence. He was the Middle East advisor to Dick Cheney and Special Assistant to John Bolton. This alone should be enough to make

I came back to the Pentagon. About six weeks later, I saw the same officer. I said, Why? Why haven't we attacked Iraq? We still going to attack Iraq. He said, Oh, sir. He says it's worse than that. He pulled up a piece of paper off his desk. He said, I just got this memo from the Secretary of Defense's office. It says we're going to that says we're going to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries

We have them all now, except for Iran, and Lebanon was one that we hadn't quite captured. And Lebanon is really important, strategic, political, Geo, strategically. I mean, they've got this port. They've got, we know that this huge gas fields offshore The place has been in in a in a state of disarray for quite a while, financial disarray. I think that it's probably true that certainly the younger generation is happy this got this family man is off the

were president and a former president and a leading candidate. I'm the leading candidate by far to be the next president, and that leading candidate was under threat. But if I were the president, I would inform the threatening country, in this case, Iran, that if you do anything to harm this person, we are going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens. We're going to blow it to smithereens. You can't do that. And

right on cue, my neighbor, Laura Logan, connected to Defense Intelligence Agency through her husband, who no longer is in service, comes out with a post urgent, according to informant in New Mexico, Trump's plane is the next target for assassination. Nine heat seeking surface to air missiles have been smuggled into the US for this purpose, and there are three kill teams already inside the country. Trump has been informed. So have the US, Intel agencies and other authorities.

I like the way you dramatize it. It is good dramatize Well,

I mean, that's the way the church lady Text group dramatized it, because they're like, oh, Laura poses this, you know, Infowars, multiple sources now confirm surface to air missiles inside us to target Trump

forced one. Oh, you're getting,

I'm getting, Alex. I'm getting, I'm doing it, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. So one of two scenarios is possible. One is something actually happens, President Trump is assassinated by a surface to air missile, God forbid, but I'm just saying God forbid, but it would certainly be a reason to target Iran. I think more likely is, this is Trump's job, and it is probably said, and I just have to step back where many people believe that Israel controls America, I believe the

took them a long time. Can I take do a little meta on this? Yeah, please. Is it possible because of, if you back off to your own thesis and Muhammad's commentary about how the Israelis and the Americans and the Iranians were already working together, that they've already been taken over.

Very possible. And, and, you know, and the rest of it is all

show, all shows, all theater,

fireworks, fireworks. Yeah, completely possible.

I mean, and that's the reason they had to get rid of Nasrallah. They were also, how did anybody, I don't care how good Mossad is, or our people, how do they know where this guy is, where they can do a targeted bunker buster from a I get an F 16, or whatever plane they shot, it from which has been documented, a targeted bunker buster that went and blew up the basement and went through and killed this guy when he's never, ever seen who, how did they ever know where he was?

You bring that up. I didn't clip it, but the that Al guy on the dance in your call me back podcast, he said exactly what you're saying. Like this was, what kind of intelligence, how did they get? And he went on to say, I have my thoughts. You know, I'm working on sources like, not going to say anything about it yet. So everyone's asked. Asking this question, How was this possible? I agree, inside job. It is the the 911 of the Middle East and and we're almost done. I mean, Syria, we,

are. Got to remember, they've killed off that, that one superstar leader in I don't know, where was it, Lebanon. They got him in this hotel room and they blew up, though, they supposedly sent a missile, it turns out to be a bomb in a room in Tehran to take out this other guy who knows is absolutely right when he says, These guys have been disappearing one after the other, and they're all a threat to the system.

So now we just need some big fireworks. It would, it would be kind of cool to have some surface to air missiles not hit anything but go off. You know, more more cool fireworks. I mean, that's that. It has to be something like that. You got to go back to the to ground zero on October 7, bull crap the Israelis. Whoa, whoa. How did that happen? No way. This thing was a setup from the beginning. Unfortunately, had to kill, you know, like 50,000 men, women and children in Gaza. But I think

left and right. I'm always go, I take it all the way back to that Korean flight that flew, you know, an inch over Moscow. It was just accidental move, or even though they turns out the thing was filled with cameras. It was taking pictures of some base, yeah, and there was a bunch of paying passengers in that plane, yeah, you know, they paid good money to take a nice, safe flight to Tokyo, where everyone was headed, and they all got killed. Nobody cares. And

by the way, they didn't care, sending out a dangerous product to inject to the American people and the rest of the world. They don't care. Guess the price, and

neither did Trump.

FYI, so this would be the perfect reason for Trump to become president. Perfect. He's been threatened. He says, Hey, I'm gonna he basically says, I'll blow you to smithereens if you threaten me, although he said, Oh, if it was the opposing candidate, yeah, whatever. You know, there's, you see the videos, these slick videos which are clearly CGI, computer generated media, CGM, maybe I should say, with, you know, supposedly made by Iran, put on the on the Ayatollah's

Well, I think they've already got Iran in the pocket. I think this whole thing, they're not going to bomb Iran anytime soon, and I think the mullahs knew that. And this, with this whole thing, is this something of a ski. I mean, it's a complete scam, from top to bottoms, exactly. And with that, it's well done.

It's, it's very well done, because we've already forgotten October 7. We already forgot that we're already beyond it. We're beyond it. All right, Trump's out there talking a big game about it, and Iranian was going to kill Trump. Okay, sure, sure. We'll see what happens. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your currency in the morning, to you, the man who put the sea in the climate week in New York. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only. Mr. Johnson

thunder,

welcome to I'm sorry. In the morning to you and Mr. Adam curry, also in the morning, ship sea boots and Raffy in the air, steps of the water, all the games and nights out there in

the morning to the trolls and the troll Road, we're looking at peak trollage of 2223 and Currently 20 188

is that good? No,

down. Four down. 304 down. We're

down. Trolls are down. Ah, well, the trolls have been very helpful today. It's good to have y'all in the troll room there@trollroom.io or, if you prefer, no agenda dot stream, that's where you can listen to all of the live shows on the no agenda stream, which is not. Going almost as long as this show. The troll room has been going as long as the show as well. It's pretty unbelievable how long that thing

podcast here, I ran into a whole series of you being on all these random podcasts. Was

it on tick tock? And did you get into the Al? Did the algo suck you in?

No, it was on YouTube. Oh, also, same

thing and, and I was always very, I'm very complimentary, am I not about you? Especially about you? No, no, okay,

I think there's, I will talk to you about it after the show. I do have some thoughts. Oh, did I do something wrong? Well, it's no, it's nothing bad. But I think you, you have a pitch, and you, I think you're de emphasizing one of the elements of the pitch, which is that we don't do premium content.

Oh, I, sometimes I forget that, yes,

because that you can really go out because premium this i and the reason that comes up to comes to mind is I was, there was some 404, media, whenever this one group does the sub stackers, and then they go on about how they're going to do a podcast about this, about this column, and then there's going to be premium content for these subscribers. And I'm thinking, Why? Why? Why are you hiding it? Is the information better than the stuff you're normally telling

Yeah, and I think this is an excellent point. Thank you for reminding me. Do we have to have the meeting still, or can we not have the meeting?

There's some other issues. I'm

gonna be nervous.

I'll bring them out. I'm

gonna be nervous. I

don't know why you keep harping on the you have now come up with a new thesis, that we hate each other.

I never said we hate each other.

Yes, you suggested it.

I said we're not really friends. Y'all know you

said we're not really friends. We might even hate each other. You said that it's a joke. It's not perceived as a joke by me. I'm sorry.

Well,

do you love me? I

think we are friends. If you ask for a favor from a friend, I would give you the favor. I've

only been to dinner at your house once. You live in

Texas.

I used to live in California, even then once, and you didn't even let me see your studio.

Well, no, you're not going to see the studio, okay, under any circumstances. But that's beside the point. We used to go to dinner a lot when you were near.

It was really a build out because I got bored of telling people I should go back to saying we don't talk outside of the show to keep it fresh. That's that's where that comes from.

Okay? And you also leave out the part that this is performance art, yeah, you're not using it.

No, that's your term. You always use the term, yeah, but you know it's right. I

Okay. I didn't know that you were reluctant to okay, you don't see it that way. No, okay,

no, I see it that way. But I don't like the term. I like saying because, you know, performance art, think makes me think of Bjork or Lady Gaga.

Okay, I get it. I get it.

Well with me, I

could see where you could be. I find it objectionable, objectionable.

But what I usually try to explain and, and, yes, sometimes I You're absolutely right. I'm taking the criticism as as constructive. What, what I, what I did say in that same interview is, you know, we have, sometimes up to 100 clips, and we're just playing off each other. We don't play them all, but this is an ongoing creative process, and we just flow into each other. And

I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, yes, we do. I'm not gonna name the podcaster because I get because honestly don't remember his name. But there was some guy who were on some podcast where I swear, because I had the time codes, it was 37 minutes before he even put you on the screen, and then he talked another 10 minutes before he let you say a word. It was almost an hour of the whole podcast of him jabbering.

I'm trying to think what this must have been a while back. I'm trying to think it

was, it wasn't, it wasn't, not that far back. It was maybe three or four months ago, and it was yak, yak, yak. I mean this. And it was, I don't, I don't want to insult a fellow podcaster, even though

I remember there was a podcast like that where this happened. I remember telling Tina, like, wow, like guy talk more than than me. Just kept on talking. I don't, I don't remember who it was, yeah, yeah, and that's okay, but absolutely Point taken. And of course, we're friends,

kind of kissing cousins,

so I'm not going to take anything. I'm not kissing

now. Do we not have to have the meaning, or is there even more?

There's one or two things in a little more? No,

oh no. Oh no. Hey, let me critique your interview. Oh, wait, you don't do any, okay, I've

done a couple. You promote the show.

When's the last time you promoted the show? Exactly, I'm out there living on the edge, man, I'm taking all the hits and people email me when they're angry at you. Well,

that's fine. It's working out for me.

I refuse to have this meeting after the show. There's something else you need to say. You can say it now. No, well, is it constructive? Will it improve the promotion of

the show? No, no,

it's just you bitching about me. Is

that what it is? No, it's a suggestion. Okay,

all right, you can suggest it. No, no, because

this is no, because no, it's bond to it properly in public.

I will respond. I You really can't make me mad anymore, except the other day,

the other day try. That's the reason the

other day you thought I was mad when I said, Hey, why don't you just do the show with Mo. I think I did say that. Yes, you did.

I don't know. I mean, I like Mo, but yeah, he's he's more than I can take.

There you go. Hello, everybody. All right, so Good point. There's no premium content you can't access, and people who can't afford to support us with their treasure of the time, talent and treasure. You can support us in other ways, by telling people to listen, by promoting us somehow. One of the ways that we like to receive value, and our value for value model, is from our artists. We have a lot of them, and they use no agenda, Art generator.com, we were talking a

Yes, and I'm gonna I, since I'm working on a sub stack column about this, I one of them I do want to actually use, go have a link to, yeah, anyone can do these. I mean, it just, I know, but the notebook LM is terrible, and by the way, so I'm sitting at dinner with their family on Friday, and I just mentioned notebook LM and JC, who's in the AI, he's got an AI company. Says, oh, that's the greatest. What? So I called him out? He

says, The Greatest. Let's do a deep dive. This is mind blowing. Oh, yeah, ah, yeah. That then, after you called him out, what happened?

He immediately backed off. He said, Yeah, it sucks. So

this one producer, since we're on it, he uploaded a text file that had like three words in it. Monk, I think was like one. What does monkey taint smell like? That was literally the input for the podcast. And he did three others, you know, like, okay, but I do have to play just a little bit of this one.

Okay, you've got to hear this one. Today's deep dive is dot unique. Our listener wants to know, what does a monkey taint smell like.

And frankly, who am I to judge? Let's dive in. You

know, it's funny, isn't it? The listener gives us this single, open ended question, no extra info, nothing. Just what? What does a monkey taint smell like? Right?

No, I was at the zoo the other day and or I've always wondered, just straight to the monkey taint. So where do we even start with this? I mean, on the one hand, it's a question about a smell, presumably. So

we're already making assumptions. Well, yeah, I

guess we are. Okay. So it's question about smell, potentially, and it's about monkeys.

How are they making assumptions? That's exactly what the question was.

This is why it's,

what does that smell like, in

some way, but it's also got this word taint, yeah, that's

the real curveball, isn't it? Curveball? It's a real curveball, John. It's evocative, suggestive, not your average neutral word for a body part, because you wonder what kind of smell the listener is picturing. You know exactly

like. Are we talking about something acrid, musky, sweet, putrid? The word taint kind of implies something a bit offensive, right? Oh, man,

this is how bad it is.

Now, this is Google. I want to say a couple of things before we will get off this in a second for people or think it sucks, but this is Google. They're editorializing. There's example after example of them editorializing one thing or another. It's got nothing to do with what this is supposed to be. Notebook. It's supposed to be, take your notes and then turn them into some sort of narrative so you can, you know, listen to it. You learn. You can be educated. It's not supposed

And the sad thing is, it probably cost $5 to create this podcast in compute cost. I think you're low in Compute costs.

I think you're low.

Yeah, I might be, I might be, that's and, dude, I'm telling you not you do. But dudes, dude, when they really start charging you what it costs for this nonsense. It's gonna, it's over. No one's gonna use it like, you know, it's really, you know, someone sent me a song about the pod files that's really cute. If it had cost you 10 bucks you've done it. No, exactly. It's not that cute. It's because it's free. Now, we'll talk more about that later. Let's get back to our

creative, quite good, quite good, quite a good piece. Yes,

well, give it, you know, give it to mid journey or wherever, whatever. AI system, computer generated imagery system, did this. It was a little computer lady with a bowl of AI slop. It was boom,

deep dive, yeah, and it was slopping all over the place. It was green goo.

Yeah, it was good.

She's a robot, yeah, it was, it was a, it was a compositions, dynamite did a terrific job. Yes,

we almost went with Ukraine. Loves bombs by Nico Sime, which we, actually liked it better, just for the dynamicness of the of the image, which is a Ukrainian flag in a heart shape, holding a bomb with a cute little smile on his face. But we immediately took, uh, took issue with the Korean Dvorak being almost unreadable. It was unreadable. Very small.

He had jacked that up to, well, it looks like it's about, at least on this little image, it's probably 14 points, maybe, if he was jacked it up to, like 4050, points. So it was across the bottom, yeah. Very probably would have won.

Very small. We

you kind of liked Darren O'Neill's curry on Dvorak 2028 but you said it's a violation because the name Dvorak was much bigger than the name curry. It was a violation, which is a violation, violation, um. Um, I, I liked the comic strip bloggers, AI, the snake eating its own tail, but you didn't even see it. You didn't see that. It was a snake eating its own tail. So I

just saw a circle, yeah, yeah. When you pointed it out, I saw it, yeah. But that's also had an AI eating itself with a kind of a serpent trying, but never got to it wasn't, wasn't it? So that, no, that wasn't gonna happen.

And I think those were the main ones that we considered. Lots of people threw up some other AI based stuff. But of note was rocket boy, who put two dorky nerds with microphones and then curry Dvorak on drum like, is that AI us or something? What was that all about?

I those are very, as baffled as you. Very

strange, very strange choice he made there. Well, I mean,

it's like, when you see it you asked, have to ask yourself Self, why did he even submit it? Yeah, and there's two microphones, one's a big and they're not hooked to anything. It's just like, it's a bad AI.

All right,

that's our time and talent. Thank you very much, producers. We appreciate the treasure that people send in treasure can be any amount, whenever you feel like it, whenever you feel like you've received value from the show you send it back to us in the amount that equals that value to you. You can do a sustaining donation, which is any amount, any frequency, anything we accept it all we do. Like to highlight our executive and Associate Executive producers.

okay, well, the troll room is just doing question marks. Like, what is he talking about anyway? Um, here's my friend, the oil baron, who has been, uh, discussed on this show with, uh, he's definitely give us some time and talent in driftwood. Driftwood is that, I think that's where Jason Calacanis just bought his ranch.

Is there a lake or an ocean around there where there's driftwood, where

they used to be, long time ago, long, long time ago, and the oil baron comes in with $1,000 and just says from the oil baron, and I could not be happier. Thank you very much, oil baron. And he hasn't. He didn't ask for a knighting or a or any type of title, but I will ping him after the show and ask him what

he wants. He wants to be for a Commodore. Give me always a certificate. Yeah,

yes, he should be a Commodore oil baron. Commodore Commodore the oil baron. We'll get the information. And thank you very much, brother, that's my my buddy, Paul the oil baron. A cool 1000 Jason

Karma. All right, we move on to Sir eight bit Ben from Evansville, Indiana, 512, 33 let's see what he has to say. Sir eight bit Ben here would like to claim the title of Commodore VIC 20 with this V for V donation. I would also ask the peerage committee if I could claim my overdue Baron title accounting an eight bit Baron Tesla license plate pick attached. I didn't see the picture. Must be cool. Does he say sir eight bit Ben on his license plate?

I don't have it. I would like to

claim the territory of Southern Indiana. If the committee approves, I see no issue. By the way. Got to Baron with my monthly chip donation of 6502 kindly asking other retro geeks to join in on that donation. Good one,

yes, 6502 it's the original Apple two chip. Yes. Indeed.

For those who don't know, the Commodore VIC 20 was a very important computer for its time, not only being promoted by William Shatner, it was one of the first computers used by many famous tech figures like Linus, Torvalds, uh, SART Satoru, Iwata, who was that? Satoru? Iwata, I have no idea. John Carmack, who was that?

I know who that is, but I can't think of it. Elon

Musk,

I doubt it, or

himself, sir Abby Ben and the podfather, Adam curry, and he sent me a clip. Did

you wait a stop you? Your first computer was a VIC 20? No,

my first computer was the Sinclair ZX 80.

Well, that's even nerdier. And

then my second computer was the Vic 20, which was not called the Vic 20. It came from Germany. In Germany, they called it something else. I forget what it was the Vic 20, because vicin means it's the F word in

German, vicin vicinity, okay?

And he said, here's the clip from show number 15 of the no agenda show. I didn't, didn't have a lot of dough around. And then, of course, the Vic 20, the Commodore VIC 20, the predecessor to the Commodore 64 that was really my, my first real computer that I hacked around with. I built a I built my own acoustic modem to use with it. And we figured out they had these ROM cartridges that you could plug in with games. And we figured out how to copy the games from rom onto

couple of things. Yes, for one thing, and I'll remember that, but I will say that, and I should, because I should have said something about you built your own acoustic modem, really, I

sure did

with a couple of speakers. No,

it took a telephone microphone. No, took, took an existing telephone horn, and pulled out the elements and then put them in two little cardboard boxes, and then had a very small PC board that we connected to the back of the visual me and my mouse in your pocket. My buddy dick radamachers And we both worked at the electronic store so we could steal all the components.

So you're a Larson, yes, on Saturday, on Saturdays, that's what happened to all the pencils over there at me. Video, it

worked at approximately 75 baud, if I recall. Yeah, sounds about right. So I could punch a key, and then that key would show up on his screen. Finally, he says, Can I get some jobs karma? After being a dude named Ben and leader of Ben for over 21 years, I was recently let go. If anyone has an interesting problem to solve and is looking for an IT leader that's not afraid of change, has decades of infrastructure experience and actually understands how

He's gonna be puttering in the backyard.

Dude, there's much more to do. 56 you're a baby. You're just getting started. He's

younger than Adam. Yeah, I've bumped up my normal donation amount for late fees. And as a bonus, I get the Commodore certificate as usual for my birthday. Can you play the OG Sharpton clip? Sir RJ of grand point tonight

is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back, or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance. But resist we much, we must, and we will much about that be committed to classic that is one of my favorites.

Yes, the classic. That's what started us off on the on finding Sharpton stuff.

He's He's a gem. He's a gem deserves every penny, every penny. Yeah, you're always complaining about how much he makes every penny he deserves. We have done well by him. He's done well by us. Cory Baker is in Fort Myers flyer Florida, $500 and he says, should be enough for a doubleting, double knighting. Accounting will follow. And we did not receive his email from Cory Baker, I looked, I'm sure you looked. I'm

looking now, as a matter of fact, and I will say this, so we got a Corey Baker from May 24 about the newsletter fiasco. We got a Cory Baker from another newsletter fail. I guess he keeps track of this in October of last year. Nothing since,

okay, Corey Baker, so we will keep it in abeyance for you, and when you are clearly you can email us, so when it shows up, we'll, we'll take care of

Dub me sir, Steve, protector of the ERISA. ERISA, ERISA, there we go. ERISA, E R, i, s, a, oh, it's the law that governs pension funds, the administration of which is my profession. ERISA, beef enchiladas and rocks margaritas at the round table, please. And how about an F the EU from that demon Vicky Newland,

you know, hearkening back on that note we got from the guy bitching about our use of that character to determine the 1701, issue, he goes on about how it should be red flagged and this, and that red flag actually knowing, knowing all that about the guy was

helpful, was good, it was

it hell, because we we play Vicky Newland clips, because she does have pertinent information, and some of it's coded, and some of it's necessary messaging, and it's important to play this stuff, yes,

and that's what I said, is, even though it was meant as a You guys suck type email, it really helped me. I was like, Oh, this makes sense,

yes, because it got you into a rabbit hole. Yes, that's a helping anybody. Yeah, it

was helping. We figured it out. We figured out. Iran, hello, oh, I'm not supposed to say that. People are saying I say hello too much.

Oh, are you? Are you saying hello too much? Well,

I went to the transcript. I said it three times in the last show, which I think is too much. Hello, hello. No So hello. Who

says that more than you do? Mark Levin, Oh, Hello America. No,

no. It's, it's not just hello as in a greeting, but it's like, hello,

hello,

you know, do you not get it yet? It's no good. I'm, what are we drinking?

No, no. He's, oh, this is a Topo Chico. Oh no, from going back to the classics. Yes, No. He says it the same way you're you know, he says it that. He doesn't say it as a greeting. He does exactly the same way you do. We're in the middle of some say hello, so you don't know it. Well,

that's more reason for me not to do it.

No reason for Sir Mike of ax head watch, oh, in Clinton Township, Michigan, the wooden watch guy, yeah, 333, yes. Three, three. Those watches are great, by the way, and he's apparently back in business. Three, three, 3.33. Dear John and Adam, I've been quite a time since I donated. I Since I haven't had the funds. Oh, due to some bad deals and bad luck, I've been unable to keep afford to keep ax head watch dot shop.

fun. They're fun to drive,

they're fun to drive. And then back to steady employment and income. I didn't know you had to have a certificate. I never did. I have also been once again, now, because I wasn't a professional, I drove a fork. That doesn't mean I was no

it's probably a violation of all kinds of labor laws that you drove it.

I have also been, once again, nominated for the United States Congress on mi 10, Michigan district 10. Yeah, Michigan 10. And I've I'm sorry at Michigan 10. Now I can afford to open the online store back up. Acced Watch, dot shop. I'd like to encourage promo code ITM, and it's gone from a 20% discount to 33% off all wooden watches. Tax head watch. Dot shop for my going out of business sale. So he's going to get rid of all his watches. These watches, yeah, we both

and if the apocalypse comes, you can use it as a handy fire starter.

Yeah, I never thought of that. I do believe he says, this brings me to Baron. I would like to be sir Mike of the Fairfax, liberator of Michigan, 10 Baron of Lichtenstein. Please provide me with jobs karma for this election, an upcoming business, and some sort of health karma for my smoking hot wife, Dame Kelly, who is back in the hospital unfortunately for a few days. Sir Mike of watch X, watch head, liberator of Michigan's 10th district.

All right for Dame Kelly, we'll add in a goat. Jobs,

jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Karma.

Sir Jeremy chumpati is a Associate Executive Producer today with a run on number two, three, 4.56, Oakville, Ontario. ITM gentlemen. It's my 62nd birthday. It falls on a podcast day. It would be remiss of me not to donate. Thank you for your courage, sir Jeremy chimfatti Baronet, fatty Oakville, Ontario, candinavia. All right, you're on the list.

I'll tell you, if you like to burp a lot, this

way to go, it'll do it. It'll do it. I know it's very, very bubbly.

Anonymous in will Williston, North Dakota, 210, 60. A little over a year ago, I made an investment over $10,000 as someone who was supposed to mentor me with starting a business without going into detail, it's obviously it's run off with all my money. Oh no, that sucks. It's within the limits to file in small claims court, which I could do myself, but I'm really looking for someone in the community to help me out with with with it, if they have some legal expertise,

thought Small Claims had a limit of 5000 is as

on this it depends on the jurisdiction. Okay, in most states, I think it is 5000 interesting, and it's pretty easy to win. It

is you just file it, you're probably gonna win. Yeah,

I can do all the legwork with legwork, but advice concerning the red tape and pitfalls would help me out. It's not really that many. It would really just come down to exchanging some emails here and there and just putting out and just putting it out there. If someone got the time, I if I get my money back, I'm going to be a big donator. Thanks to all you do every one else, please donate now. Okay, he's given us no information, as he's anonymous. Yeah, that's really helpful.

Maybe Jay has his information so you can email notes at no agenda show.net, if you think you can help him out.

Yeah, maybe that might work and they just do that. It won't hurt. And

there's Eli the coffee guy from bensonville, Illinois. We are just about rounding up our list here, Associate Executive Producer at two, oh 9.29, and Eli says things on the national and world stage continue to become more interesting in the lead up to the US election, one of my customers, a grizzled Nam vet, asked me the other day if I'm stocked up on survival food for potential turbulent times ahead.

don't. It's just that don't enslave me. Camel, as a

bondage, don't enslave me. Camel,

there you go. Camela, yeah, racist, racist kid, mispronouncing her name on purpose.

Linda loupatkins comes in from Lakewood, Colorado, as usual, and surprisingly enough, she asks for jobs karma, and then she says for a faster, more effective job search. Visit imagemakers. Inc.com, that's imagemakers. Inc, with a K your go to for executive resumes and job search needs and work with Linda Lou Duchess of jobs and writer of resumes, jobs,

jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's

vote for jobs. All right, we rounded out with one final donation. Associate Executive Producer, $200 from Stefan Anders in Munchen Deutschland. Hello Deutschland. Here's the Hoff. And he says, Thank you from Munich Germany, Stefan, Stefan, thank you, and thank you to all of our executive and Associate Executive producers who have helped us out here today is very much appreciated. Of course, we appreciate any treasure you can send in our value for value,

our formula is this, we go out. We hit people in the mouth. Shut

up. No agenda donations.com. No agenda donations.com. You I

have a little three clipper on election fraud. That's kind of interesting. But before we do that, I do have my every show a I Kevin Gavin Newsom

to see if you can get arrested

because you are breaking legal break,

breaking California law, breaking the law.

Every clip is a scofflaw. So here he is. I This one came out about it two weeks ago, and I missed it. This is a news I didn't realize that Newsom's endorsing Trump. Today. I'm

here to do something that some may think or believe is unheard of. Yes, the news reports are correct. I Gavin Newsom, am here to endorse none other than Donald J Trump for President of the United States. Trump's got this knack for making America the center of attention, whether it's on Twitter or on the global stage. He's like that friend who always has the best stories at dinner, who wouldn't want that kind of

it's pretty good. It's pretty good. Now, did you just find this? Or did you make

I actually searched for it. The his, I think, is, I think his on this one, I think the speed and cadence is a little faster than it should be. Yes, it is. He doesn't quite talk that fast, but it's good, and I can see why this, something like this would would upset him before

you move to the election fraud. Just to wrap up the AI, I'd like to play one clip, because there have been some developments that need brief discussion amongst us.

Open. AI, the world's most valuable AI startup has lost another chief executive, Chief Technology Officer, Mira Marathi, is one of more than 20 key staff who've departed this year, leaving CEO Sam Altman with just one of his fellow co founders. Is it a real problem or just growing pains? Let's ask technology editor Peter O'Brien, Peter open, AI, currently trying to raise a lot of money. So surely this can't look good for investors. Hi,

They've brought in the Saudis for this round, which means they're really desperate. In my book, Apple dropped out of this investment round, like, Nah, we're not going to participate. And from what I understand, you don't even get stock. You get some a new concept called PP, us, which is profit participation units,

not even a warrant,

wow. So when they start to make profit, okay, the Saudis, the Saudis, of course, I mean, Microsoft is going to put another billion in in compute. So it's not actually money, you know, there is

some some time, yes,

some, some, some time. Computer time. Yeah, but like the old mainframe days. Hey, man,

I'm reminded, since the app you said Apple dropped out, I have you seen this commercial where, uh, promoting, of course, the non existent Apple intelligence AI, where there's a girl, she's at a party. She looks around the corner and she sees some guy, oh, and the guy standing there, she's she knows she recognizes him from another party from

Yeah,

have you seen this? No, no.

She says, What was the name of the guy at that party a month ago? This is an Apple commercial. Yes, an Apple commercial. And then the phone comes back, oh, that's Zach such and such. No, and she goes into she turns around and gets past the wall, and as a guy comes up to her says, Hey, Zach, how you doing? He saw I'm surprised you remembered my name. No. And I'm thinking, what bull crap.

Oh, man, Are they kidding? I guess not. I'm

not the only I've seen this commercial twice now.

I'm looking for it on YouTube. I don't see it

well when you'll see if you watch, well, you don't watch as much network TV as I do. So you might not

know, just on the on the Apple film, on the Apple thing, Rob, you have to

be an idiot to believe that this could even happen.

Robert, who was listening to us on Episode 1698 said I was yelling at my phone. I was yelling at my phone because you were talking about if Apple made that Sarco pod, you know, the death pod that they used in Switzerland, yeah, yeah. The pod, yeah. And he said the name, obviously would be called Die pod, hello. He said, Hello. Not me. He said, The die the die pod, like, Where were you in the troll room? Man, that's.

That's a good line you would have and you would have taken credit for it. No, no,

no, no, no, see, I even gave him credit right here. I can give him credit right here. I

have one letter to read, since you're bringing this sort of thing up. This from producer Chris. He says, I know it's probably too late for today. Apparently, it's not. But I wanted to address the CEO of norvo novo, Nordisk. Novo Nordisk stating before Congress that insurance companies control drug prices. We talked about this in the last show.

point, thank you, sir. Chris Good point.

Anyway, I'm just going to double down. Actually, I have a text group. I got text group with the oil baron and my buddy Vic in Dallas, and use NET. That's IRC, baby. Use net. What was the other one? What was the other something? Fido. Fido net, Fido net, Fido net. We were on Fido net the other day and, and I'm like, This AI is going to collapse. And then, you know, they're posting back, like, oh, yeah, that's like Steve Ballmer said no one will want the the mobile phone. He's like, gonna

the oil. Yeah, most people are. I tend to believe you're so far ahead of the curve on this that is going to go a lot farther than you think. Ah, but

they're having trouble with this round apples. Apples dropping out already. The

round is ludicrous. They're asking for too much. But

they need the money to keep it, to keep the scam going. They have to keep coming out with, oh, did you strawberry? Oh, it's the latest strawberries, the best. Go in and ask chat, GPT strawberries. How many? How many states have an M in it? They don't come back with with, you know, like Rhode Island. I mean, it's so it's stupid. There's no I in the AI.

It's artificial. It has an N in it. Island, an M, an M, M, Michael, M, M, and Rhode Island, okay, yeah. So, okay,

that's all fine. It's all good. I'm just you're just not

telling you you're way ahead of the curve on I agree with you. I know

you do, but I don't think I'm that far ahead of the curve. I think you're farther than you should be. What do you think it is then you think they can do another year of this, two years, two years, two

years into the Trump presidency.

Well, Trump has bought in with, oh, we need all kinds of Power. Power. Need power for this. We're going to have huge data centers, which I don't know what we're going to do with them. Well,

what's going to happen after AI collapses and you have all this extra excess energy, it's going to be a boon. It's good. Well,

there's a, I know, edge sword here. It

could be a boon to the economy, because all of free energy, energy is a big deal, but it could also collapse the whole place. No, we'll

be mining Bitcoin,

at least I will.

I found three clips on election fraud on PBS that I thought were it's a PBS or NPO, PBS, PBS, PBS that I thought were fascinating because it, it brings up this dominion, because the idiocy of the whole idea of Dominion having a machine that basically fills out the ballot for you. It acts as a middleman. I think this is the machine I used in Albany. Last man in the middle. It's a man in the middle. It's a man in the middle machine. And it's kind of stupid, but for some reason,

gee, what? What reason could California have to be using them? Let me think the.

Let's play these three. These are clips that they're excessively long but, but I thought were interesting enough that I could make long clips.

Was that a cue? Yes. What

was pretty obvious primary election day in Bartow County, Georgia, and election workers are conducting a logic and accuracy test of computers that stand between voters and their ballots where it says Text Size, touch theft and then do big, big. They are image cast X ballot marking devices or BMDS made by Dominion voting systems. Everyone who votes in person in Georgia uses one of these touchscreen computers to record their choices and then prints a marked paper ballot, which gets scanned

Wow, for PBS, that's impressive. Is this. So does this all stem from the hanging chads? Is that why the computers were brought into it, or just purely hanging

chads goes way back, but I think it has to do with people smudging or, you know, when they I don't know what really, I don't. There's no real reason, as far as I'm concerned, except, but they do this, and I'm thinking, and I've used the machine so I can tell you what you do. You go in there, you do the voting on the machine, and then it prints out the ballot. Yeah. You want

paper with the votes, and you look it over.

You look it over, and the vote you voted for this guy, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. And then you stick it in the you file it, and they then it counts it. Wait,

wait, don't you stick it in a machine that counts it? Well, the machine,

yeah. So you stick it in machine accounts, and it should just count it, yeah. So where do you think that's it? That's

where. That's where the problem is. Is in the No,

that's what I thought it might be a problem in the counting machine. This, when I heard this, this next part, what, what the real problem is because, because you can go back and make these, you can see what I did. I voted here and I voted there, and I had this. Next time I do this, I'm going to vote by hand. I'm going to go in and vote. I'm going to take a picture of the ballot, because of the little interesting the gotcha in here.

Are you allowed to take your camera into the polling booth? I don't think why not? I don't think you're allowed. Why not? Well, because you have exactly what you're saying. Because they don't want any evidence.

I have seen no signage of any sort saying I can't have a camera in my private little voting booth, they

have signs it here in Texas where we vote, no cameras, no guns, which is a big bummer. Well, the

guns I can see enough to play on a second. Let

me pull all these guns out. No, I don't think you, I don't think you can use

I see. No, I've never seen such a sign, and I don't see why it would make a difference. All right, I'll

bill you out. Don't worry. We got you. Thank

you. Thank you. You're a friend. Yeah, I

am friend. We're friends. So we're good friends. Bail each other out.

You wouldn't at first glance, you know you do what you just said is what I logically would think too. But no, it turns out there's a more interesting way of cheating that I was like, what the

risks aren't even comparable. Halderman has spent a lot of time studying the risks. He is an expert witness for the plaintiffs in a pending federal lawsuit seeking an injunction against using the current voting system. Halderman says he and his team found nine vulnerabilities in the Dominion system. We met at a law office in Atlanta. In March, he showed me some of what he demonstrated in open court. We thought like an attacker, what would an attacker want to

and Democrats. Wow. So there's a QR code on your on your ballot, yeah. Oh, man, that's so that's pretty crazy.

So I thought that was interesting. And of course, now we have to, you know, you can Craig give this report without, like, slamming the Republicans? Yeah. Got to, yeah. So they so there's been examples of corruption in different areas of the country by both Democrats and Republicans. We've known this forever. And so they do an exemplification. They defend the machine, and then they exemplify what could possibly happen using a Republican example, which is really done for the purposes of

we asked dominion for a response. A spokesperson emailed us this. The claim that someone could hack an election with a pen is flatly false. A court directive gave Mr. Haldeman as plaintiff's paid expert unfettered access to system security features, including passwords, security cards, election files and more. This did not take into account the many layers of physical and operational safeguards. There is no evidence that any of these apparent vulnerabilities have

throw out of no evidence. Yeah, that's amazing. That's good. Okay.

There is no evidence that any of these apparent vulnerabilities have ever been exploited. Georgia State election officials say they are hypothetical scenarios. Almost all these are mitigated by the processes that are put in place around the election system itself. Gabe sterling is the chief operating and financial officer for the Secretary of State. He says the many layers of people and processes surrounding these machines make it impossible for a voter to reboot them with a pen or insert

Oh God,

good job. Good job.

I just want to play a 21 just to show you, PbS is way of doing business. You. I have to play this PBS slant on gun violence that was yesterday, or, I guess, Friday show. This is typical of PBS and the fact that there are stooges for the Democrats. Listen to this. Gun

violence and crime in America are both key issues in the 2024 campaign as part of our ongoing series about election year issues are. Lisa Desjardins has looked into where the candidates stand, and she joins us now. It's great to have you here, Lisa. So let's start with former President Donald Trump. He talks often about crime despite his own felony convictions. What kind of reporting is that? Dipshit?

Wow. Lisa changed her voice. Lisa Desjardins is still around.

Oh yeah, now she takes the anchor job every so often because I

remember she was sick, so I guess she's, she's better. I'm happy to hear that. I always kind of liked her until she went all nutty. She went a little wacky there for a while. You remember?

Well, she's, uh, yeah,

she went, Well, I think around the time that Snowden came out, and she was,

you're talking about the right? The same girl, Lisa day joy, then the one. She's got a big nose. Yes, remarkable.

Are we talking about someone else? Didn't she work at Wired for a while?

No, no, no. She's always been a PBS girl.

Okay, I'm thinking of someone else. Then who was it was, Oh,

I think you're talking about desjard. Zeni Zeni.

That's who I'm thinking of, yeah. Zeni, Zeni, Desjardins, she did

go kind of nutty. Yeah, yeah, no. Lisa desjard. Dan is a petite Yes, with the big nine presenter on PBS newshour Not

to be left out of the election night shenanigans. Amazon prime will be doing live coverage since who has, who has networked live, who has network l

Michaels doing it. Ah, guess

again, if you were to choose the most trustworthy name in news and you wanted them to host your election night coverage on Amazon Prime, who would you choose? Okay,

so it's got to be somebody that's not working for the networks, because it's a conflict of interest. Not

anymore. I'll give you a hint. He's he two hints. He is no longer working for the networks.

Yes, I would be right. So you got to say he, so it could be, what's his name? The guy used to be the anchor in NBC. Come on.

You're close. You're close. That you might have it. I

think I do have it. I just, for some reason, his name is eluding me.

No, that doesn't count. That I

it counts for me. I could think of his name, if I think hard enough,

we're sorry. Brian Williams, yes,

exactly. That's exactly who I was thinking of. Brian Williams, who's the worst for this sort of thing.

Isn't that great?

Oh, poor guy.

Hey, gotta know that he actually would have been worse. Would be lower. Oh. Matt Lauer, when

does he get to come back? There's gonna be a moment where he's going to make a comeback. There's going to be gonna have to

because he's getting, you know, money. He's gonna run out of money. You know, he got a golden parachute. There's no doubt about that. So he's, he's living off of his, you know, what's left? But guys like that, they're gonna, they're always gonna spend at the limit. So it's gonna, they can't, it can't go on forever. Yeah,

I wonder, I wonder what he's How much must that suck to be him? I mean, really,

yeah, with the with the locking doors and the rape,

yeah, all of that

Tina still talks about. I used to, I used to watch the Today Show, and I would, I would love watching. What's his name, Matt. Matt Lauer. He said, I love that. And says, Then I found out he had a rate button under his

desk. So

it's gonna take him a little bit longer, but he has to make a ray entree eventually.

Uh, couple. I just want to mention

one thing before you get to your three more clips,

Tiktok clips. So this a warning in advance. Yes,

the constitutional lawyer Rob he's been doing a lot. He's been doing some good work. They're not even gonna get to some of the work he's done for us today. But one of his buddies from law school, I think Houston lawyer Tony Busby, who he says is a hard ass lawyer, is now set to represent over 50 clients. Yes, in a new this, in a new Diddy lawsuit, which apparently includes some who are minors.

Yeah, there's a there's a lot of there's been a lot of hinting. Thing about minors? Yeah,

well, we have an inside track. So whenever there's something going on with the buzz, the buzz be hopefully we'll, we'll hear a little bit from our constitutional lawyer. Do we have the best producers in the universe, or what

it's embarrassingly it's embarrassing riches. What's the embarrassment of riches?

Yes, it is.

It's an embarrassment of riches. Nobody else has this. No,

all right, here we go. John has tick tock clips. Now

this one. This is a woman who brought this clip, and she, she, she narrates it, and so and I thought this clip was kind of oddly. It was odd and offensive, and it hasn't been going around. It's about Kwanzaa and Camela. I unearthed quite the gem

growing up Kwanzaa was always a special time. We came together with generations of friends and family and neighbors. There were never enough chairs. So my sister and I and the other children would often sit on the floor, and together we lit the candles of the Canara, and then the elders would talk about how Kwanzaa it's a time to celebrate culture, community and family. And they, of course, taught us about the seven principles. My favorite principle was always

how it's good to hear that again, even without the tiktokers commentary. What a phony. And was that Doug? Was that Doug? Yeah, it was Doug the Jew. That Happy Kwanzaa. Y'all Happy Kwanzaa? Wait, please. I

mean, what a liar, yes, yeah, well, I found that to be offensive, yes, um, and you're not even black. I'm not even black, and I'm not a Jew. No

that we know of. Here is the,

here is the, I don't know if this guy's serious. It's one of those tiktokers that you go. Is this guy full of crap? Because do we really want to call babies babies everyone?

I just wanted to talk today about ways we can use words. To me, this

is a guy.

Yes, this is a guy.

People feel included in the conversation. One of the words I see thrown around a lot that can make people feel left out is the word mother. It's better if we use the term birthing people. There are a lot of people that can give birth that aren't traditional mothers. That includes trans men. Another word that I see just tossed around is babies. It's much better if you use a gender nonspecific term for children that young until they can decide what their gender is and pick it

Now, do you ever comment on these videos? Because I have a comment, since I don't have an account, isn't the term baby gender neutral by itself.

It's a baby bring this brings me to a story. Yes, it is. It's totally neutral. So on this and this situation that we're moaning and groaning and bitching about goes back, and in this case, this will go back to this story goes back to about 1982 which is what 40 years ago. Oh,

don't remind me.

So back then, there was a I was doing a story for, I guess this story actually goes back to 1986 because that is the year I was visiting. Boeing and one of the Boeing guys used to write,

hold on a second.

You can't just do that. Can't do what.

You can't just launch into a story without your jingle. Hey

everybody,

it's a bonus. Yeah. And it sounds like a story I've never heard.

I have told a story before in the show, but it was probably 10 years ago. So I'm doing this guy, one of the engineers there who was showing us at the time, Boeing calc also got a tour of the Everett facility at the factory. Got the season. Boeing calc was an original spreadsheet program that was quite good, like VisiCalc. It was, it was like more, yes, it was like VisiCalc, and it was quite good. It came out before the Microsoft took over the place, but it was, it

if representative isn't gender neutral,

exactly what he said. He said to her, how is representative not gender neutral? And she said to him, and I think this is reflected in the clip I just played 40 years later, she said to him, yes, it's true, but we want to make it we want to make it known to the reader that we care, that we're using gender, gender neutral terms. So we used person Congress, person esthetic representative. So it's, it's a form of virtue signaling. It's a form of code, yeah. So you say,

you got it off your chest. I don't recall this story. Yeah, well,

I'll probably tell it again 10 years from now. I

don't think so, if we have four more years, not 10, by the way, thank you everybody for reminding me and correcting me that we are in our fifth election cycle on the show, not fourth, fifth. We've had five. Wait, am I saying that right now?

Hold on, yeah. Hold

on. Oh, my got it from here we go. Obama, McCain, 2008 Yes. Obama, Romney, 2012 Trump, Clinton, 2016 Trump, Biden 2020 and we're now in the fifth Trump Biden Harris, 2024 this is our fifth, our fifth trip around the election cycle.

Yes, that's why we know so much

about about babies, and that's why people come here to hear about babies from ticktockers. All right, let's do your last one. Just to

one is not as good as the other two, but it's, it's, but I thought it was an interesting it's educationalist, a food activist who's very famous, and they've somebody put a bunch of her Tiktok stuff together to tell her. Her message is that American corporations are poisoning what I believe this is somewhat true poisoning the American public. Thank you very much.

Oh, for sure, in the US, there's 11 ingredients. In the UK, there's three, and salt is optional, an ingredient called methyl polysiloxane is an ingredient preserved with formaldehyde, a neurotoxin. This is Skittles. Notice the long list of ingredient differences, 10 artificial dyes in the US version and titanium dioxide, this ingredient is banned in

Yeah, this was from the Ron Johnson hearing that your buddy Jillian Michaels appeared

at the beginning of it starts off at the 11 ingredients versus the three. And that was about McDonald's french fries.

It's disgusting. It's a really good hearing. People should take a look at it, because that will save your life just by not eating this junk. But all of it is just like advertising gambling, as we started the show today, that if you walk in the supermarket. It's, it's just, it's like a cartoon, like all kinds of colors that attract the children, mommy, mommy, mommy, I want this one, Mommy. You know, it's nasty. It

should be illegal.

I don't know why that qualifies as a tick tock clip. There was just a clip that you found on time.

Sorry about it.

Right? I was No, all right, since you offended me with that, I'm going to offend you with a clip which is an illegal clip. It's illegal to play this clip, illegal by show standards.

However, it's not Rachel Maddow, is it? No,

it's not a felony, it's just it's a misdemeanor, although it's close to felony. But the W carry, yes, W, E, F, the World Economic Forum has a has a summer session, and this was about the sustainable develop development goals. All a part of climate week. And this should anybody who was thinking of voting for, I would just say Kamala Harris should rethink it, because this is the general thinking of the elites in the Democrat Party. And John Kerry is, without a doubt, one of the

The prefix? Is that called

a prefix? Yeah. And on top of that, there are no secrets, only information you don't yet have. So it's only information. But this is the kind of thinking that goes on in the upper elitist echelons of the Democrat party as it is today,

the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing as part of our problem, particularly in democracies, In terms of building consensus around any issue. It's really hard to govern today. You can't, you know, there's no the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact that kind of been eviscerated.

You have to back it up. And when you hear the word referee, replace it in your mind with gatekeeper? Yeah,

and by the way, it's so hard to govern these days

in terms of building consensus around any issue. It's really hard to govern today. You can't, you know, there's no the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact that kind of been eviscerated to a certain degree, and people go and that people self select where they go for their news or for their information, and then you just get into a vicious cycle, yeah, especially podcasts. So it's really, really hard, much harder, to build consent.

You know, he, I think he caught himself and he tried to beat around the bush, because after he talked about the First Amendment being an impediment,

What a nuisance that thing was a nuisance,

an impediment. He, he kind of, it must have went right through his brain. Oh, you dumb shithead. You said the wrong thing here. Now, try to get out of it, because he seemed to be fishing after that. Yeah, I saw that.

I just found this. I found it incredible, incredible paint. And that's the thinking, you know, just this first amendment is annoying and people and we don't have any more referees. We need referees like Brian Williams, good referees. All right, have to play this. Since we do have a a an appearance in our end of show mixes, the mayor is back. Yes, yay. Very excited to have the mayor back on the show. You. Thank you, Mayor Sir. Michael Anthony. Mayor Adams and I have

I sorry, I call him Mark Anthony in the last No, it's

sir, Michael Anthony. Have a little update here on from CBS on the latest with Maya Adams,

fortunate day, and it's a painful day. New York City Mayor Eric Adams asked New Yorkers to reserve judgment shortly after a federal indictment was unsealed accusing him of engaging in a long running conspiracy involving illegal campaign contributions charges, he denies the five count indictment includes charges of bribery, wire fraud and two charges relating to

so the show. Consensus on this, which you reminded of us on the last episode, is this is entirely because he started complaining about the illegal immigrants, I'm sorry, the newcomers flooding New York City, and he went against the Biden Harris administration, and that this is retaliation. Well, son of a gun, wouldn't you know it? I

will say this I watched about a year ago when he talked about how the illegal migrants are hurting our city, and the federal government should pay us, and we shouldn't have to take him. And I said, You know what? He'll be indicted within a year, and I was exactly right, because that's what we have. We have people that use the Justice Department and the FBI at levels that have never been seen before. So I wish him luck. I don't know anything about what he did, but I told a lot. A

I have a I have another PBS version of the up of the mayor being indicted. If you want to play it, it's only 33 seconds. It sums things up a little bit. I think your clips are better, but I want to get this one played anyway. Also

today, New York Mayor Eric Adams pleaded not guilty to bribery and other charges in federal court. He's accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions and gifts from Turkish nationals in exchange for using his position to help Turkey's interests. Adams did not speak on his way into the Manhattan courthouse, but flashed a thumbs up to the crowd. His lawyer said he will file a motion next week to request that the charges be dismissed. Adams was released

The Department of Justice, man, they are against the American people. No matter who you are, they are weaponized.

They have an agenda, and if you don't follow it, you're screwed. And part of following it is accepting a bunch of illegal aliens, criminals, and who knows, who else into the country and liking it. Did

you see Massey grilling the inspector general Horowitz, who is the Inspector General for the FBI.

I don't think I did. Oh, so

mass have it? Yeah, I do. Massey, whose wife, just passed away, you know, suddenly. And this guy, I think he's, he already was just like, I'm gonna say whatever. I think he's just flat out everywhere now, like, nope, nope. He's going against the Republic. I

think he believes his wife was murdered. I

wouldn't put it past people. You know, once he went on Tucker Carlson and said a whole bunch of things, all of a sudden, she died. Suddenly. Yeah, horrible. So here he is. This is about January 6. He's specifically interested in footage of the pipe bomber who put the pipe bomb down at the DNC, which we've seen. This footage, I think it's on YouTube. You've seen it, right? Oh, yeah, but no, no, no, no, no.

We've got a failed FBI, failed investigation of the January 6 pipe bomb. Are you looking into that at all? We've had discussion. I know Congressman about it, and we have followed up, and I can speak to you about that. Mean they keep saying it's ongoing investigation, but they've got no leads, no suspects. They've lost information. They've lost

they deleted text messages because that's what you do, yeah, if you're Hillary Clinton against

the law to do that, but they do it anyway. Yeah? Well, I have one last little clip here that might be interesting. This is 13 seconds. It's not much, but this is just because they keep talking about now. Now you know they don't want to ban gas stoves. I don't know where you get that from. This is Newsom.

California's Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have required tobacco style health warnings on gas stoves. It's a setback for climate and public health advocates to encourage the shift to all electric home appliances.

We have all electric in Washington state, in our area, it sucks.

I'm gonna show my food by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun. All right.

We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen, best podcast ever. And now it's time for the famous moment. John C's Tip of the day and sometimes,

JC, and sometimes Adam,

I'm excited. Everybody's excited. We're always all excited to find out

about the tip. Well, this is a food tip, a food tip. I thought I'd bring it out, because this is something I do. There's a there's been recently, because the avocados mostly come from California and Mexico, yeah. But in some parts of the country, in fact, most of the parts, there's a huge boom in Peruvian avocados. Are they no good? No, they're better than the other ones. Oh, and let me explain a Peruvian avocado, and they come in and says, you'll see it on the they always say,

yeah. I

grab. I squeeze a little, and that kind of gives me the idea if it's ripe or not, if it's if it's overripe. Usually I get three avocados. I get one for that dinner that day, and then I'll get one for the next day and one for the next day. So I do take firmness into account

now with the Peruvian avocado, the firmness is it's always harder than a normal avocado. It and if it go, if you feel softness, it's over the hill. So you say to yourself, well, then how the hell would I know this is the right it's right. But how would I tell I

tell John

the color of the skin of a Peruvian avocado, which is kind of a greenish like all the red, it looks just like a regular avocado when it turns solid black, and the avocado is still firm, that avocado is ready, and it's spectacular.

And how do we know it's a Peruvian avocado? It'll say,

there's not a store in the world that won't put the country of origin, where it says Mrs. Avocados, 59 cents or whatever. It'll say country of origin, Peru. It'll say, there they I think most states require you country of origin.

So how about the avocado? I want to be ripe in two days, when it's from Peru, it'll be black and it'll

be it'll be black with some green. Oh, so it's a color identifier as total color. It goes from super green to black splotches to pretty, almost all black with a little green, to all black. And there's about a two or three day window and it's all black and it's still hard, boom,

yeah, we prefer avocado of color here on the show. Excellent tip everybody. Hey

guys. Show us your tips. There we go.

Anyway. Check out Peruvian avocados if you ever see them. No, I like it. That's good. It's

good. Good word. And that does it for Episode 1699, 1700 on Thursday, everybody 1700 we'll send out a newsletter to

remind 1800 everyone should donate and sing, congratulations, boys

and we have Canary Cry, news talk coming up next on the stream. This is 777, jackpot. Ah, they're into that illegal gambling on the stream these days. Ah, just go figure. Boys, go figure. End of show. Mixes, we have. Down guy, Steve Neal Jones, our clip custodian and the Maya sir. Michael Anthony returns to the end of show mixes. We could not be happier coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in Fredericksburg. We got a meet up on October 18 in

curry, and from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's cold, I'm John C Dvorak. We return

on Thursday, where people are having meetups, and we'll be celebrating episode 1700 remember us at no agenda, donations.com until that adios mofo is a hooey. Hooey, and such

concern about rising temperatures on planet Earth heated up a hearing here in Washington today, this morning, record breaking heat spreading across more of the US. You should know what happens to your body when it exposes itself to extreme heat? First, your body attempts thermal regulation by moving blood flow outward toward the surface of the skin. The heart rate quickens. Blood vessels dilate to release heat, the skin becomes flush, then your body begins to sweat.
