free biscuits, free food for everyone. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, August 4th, 2024. This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media assassination episode 1683. This is No Agenda. Bringing joy and chaos and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas health country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley,

where I've concluded that Shannon Bream is no good, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Well, it's two women you don't like in a row on the show. Who's the other one? Now you said Kamala Harris is full of crap. She is.

I'm just saying. What did Shannon Breen do? It's just, you know, I didn't really, I kind of always sensed this for a while, but it's been getting worse. She's from Fox? Is she from Fox? Yeah, she's the Fox. She's the pretty blonde. She's 50. She looks 20. Good looking, well structured face. Good looking girl, period. Wait, you said well structured babe? Is that what you said? Did I hear that right?

Face, well structured face. That's better. Well structured face. Hey baby, you've got a well structured face. I'm going to try it tonight. I'm going to try it tonight. See how that works. Baby. I don't know if it's a compliment to tell somebody that toructured face. I'm going to try it tonight. I'm going to try it tonight. See how that works. I don't know if it's a compliment to tell somebody that to their face. Well-structured face, baby.

The well-structured face. Well, first I noticed it some time ago when she said, when, when Trump got indicted by Fannie Willis and then then in New York and then all at once, you get, you You get 96 indictments all at once. And they're bitching about this, one of the shows that she was on, and she says, oh, I don't think that was coordinated. There's no evidence. Really?

There's no evidence it's coordinated, even though they had people going in and out of the White House, the whole thing. And so I thought, well, that's kind of suspicious. Then I watched this morning, she does a show on Sunday that is distributed on all the Fox stations. And she has a sidekick that comes on. She interviews this guy, Chris Murphy, who's a Democrat.

And Chris Murphy says stuff like, yeah, well, you know, the immigration rates gone way down since Trump, because Kamala's done a fabulous job at the border. No pushback. And then later in the show she's, Oh yeah, okay. Well, that's interesting. But we have other numbers. Oh, those numbers are wrong. Okay. And so then, uh, he, as he signs off, he says, yeah, well, you know, there's the difference is going to be between Kamala and Trump is Trump's going

to be the dictator. So on day one, and she says nothing. And then she says, and he's going to implement agenda 25. And she says nothing. And it's like, okay, this is bad. You know, I had a thought, I had a thought this morning. I know, I just stand by everybody had a thought. So all these cable news channels, Fox of course, clearly run by Democrats. I mean, just look at the Murdoch, the Murdoch sons, the kid.

The kid, yeah. The reason why they're on the air is because of the carriage fees, right? Largely. Well, I mean, that's the main income. So say you have 60 million households on cable, that's probably low, but let's say 50 million. Let's say 50 million. And you get one buck for your channel. And I don't know, do you think every channel makes about a buck? I mean, the cable is expensive these days.

You know, I know people that have these numbers, I should probably look into it. Yeah, let's look into it. So we have some real numbers. Let's look into it. Because why couldn't the CurryDivorak communications group, why couldn't we start a cable channel, lobby Comcast, lobby all these other guys, and just get a channel. And then we'll get somewhere between 20 and $50 million a year, and we'll just pay a whole bunch of podcasters.

I'll turn the camera on in that. Hey, will you turn the camera on? I'll turn the camera on. I'm sure we can get Nick the rat to turn a camera on, Darren O'Neill, and we could just do the no agenda stream. We could divvy it up. Everybody wins. Why not?

I mean, how hard can it be to launch a cable channel in times when everyone knows there's no reason to watch cable anymore? Well, there's that. Yeah. We give no reason. Well. I witnessed this whole process with tech TV. Yeah well and with CNET. And it was mostly and they had nothing but trouble getting people to carry because it was you had to bribe, you had to send hookers.

Hey we have a whole network of producers I'm sure some of them will hike the skirt. Well I mean MTV did it by saying you, I want my MTV they had that whole idea Yeah, and Jingle emerged. I want my MTV. Yeah. Yeah, we can do that. It worked. Yeah. Yeah, it's doable. Let's do it I think it's a it's a possibility. I mean just why not Yeah, why not the the cable companies are starved for reasons to keep people. I'm sure we could get someone to like maybe Joe, maybe Joe be like, yeah, you know, I'll pick up an extra couple of mil from these boys. Don't you think?

Well, if you could get Joe, that would be hot because then you could do the whole thing. That would be hot. Yeah. It'd be hot. Yes. It'd be great. I talked to Joe this morning. Oh, that's where you took going.

Okay. No, no, no, no, no. I wasn't going there at all. Just by coincidence. So what did Joe have to say? Well, we were talking about his awesome special that he did last night. Oh, this was the live comedy thing. How was it?

I didn't get to see it. Oh, it's funny. It's funny. But you know what? His stand-up's not bad. No, he's a great comic. What is so outstanding about it is he did it live. And most comedians don't do that with their specials.

They don't really wanna do something live. Because you can sweeten it later, you can drop the bits that didn't work. Yeah, which is what they do. Yeah, well, Joe didn't do that. He just went live for like an hour and 10 minutes. It was very, you wanna hear a little bit? There's a little bit here.

I don't know if you've probably seen this. You see this bit that's on? I didn't, well, unless he did it before. I've seen his old act. No, this, this is a bit from the special. Here, check it, it's short. You know, it's just good to see everybody having a good time. The country's almost back to normal before World War III.

COVID was just so strange. We lost a lot of people during COVID and most of them are still alive. Yeah. Right? We lost a lot of people during COVID and most of them are still alive. Yeah, right? Right? Yeah, there's a lot of people that I don't fuck with anymore. Before COVID, I would have told you that vaccines are the most important invention in human history. After COVID, I'm like, I don't think we went to the moon. I think Michelle Obama's got a dick. I think Pinsigate is real. I think there's direct energy weapons in Antartica. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I don't think

Michelle Obama's got a dick, but I believe all that other shit. He was kind of almost projecting Bobcat Goldthwait there for a second. Little bit of Sam Kinnison maybe almost. There was something, it was good. He was amped. His energy is a little different than when I saw him before. He was amped. He was a little hyped.

Yeah, he was amped. Are you kidding me? The live show? I can understand that. I can understand it. Yeah. Well, okay. And just think about it. I mean, we could also, we could do music. We could throw some value for value music up there. What kinds of stuff? You can get an S-cap license. No big deal. Yeah. Easy. Easy peasy. Yeah, it would be fun. All right. It's a deal. Let's do it. Okay. All right. Does anyone know how to start?

Let's do it. Okay. All right. Yeah. Does anyone know how to start? Anybody out there? So I went to Frisco Friday, Friday night. Yeah. Frisco, Texas. Frisco, Texas. Yes. And how far is that from you? Well, I flew, so it was an hour and 20 minutes, but it's if you drive 90, 90 miles, a miles? Through the air? That's a good question. No, it's more than that. No, because we're doing about 190 miles an hour. So it's much more than that. It's Dallas. It's too far to drive.

Five and a half hours. It's Dallas basically. So after the podcasting, two-point-oh podcast, went over to Gillespie Airport, which is five minutes from the house, beautiful. Ed, the 28th, all these, all these- Ed Mills No, wait a minute. Dr. Justin Marchegiani What? Ed Mills You should probably tell people why you went to

Frisco, Texas. Dr. Justin Marchegiani That's coming. That's coming. That's coming after the Ed part. So I always have a safety pilot go with me who is an instructor from the flight school where I rent the plane. It's also handy because he'll bring the plane up from Bernie, it's all gassed up, I have to do all the annoying stuff. He'll even handle the luggage. It's 28.

All these kids are so young. So I'm chatting with them and I said, so how long before we lose you? Because I don't think I've flown more than three times with any safety pilot because all these kids get sucked up by the airlines. He says, oh, now it's going to be a little longer for me because they've over hired. He says all of these airlines, mainly because they can't get any new planes, you know, Spirit and I think Alaska. He's like, no, no, no, they've over hired. They've over hired.

So I just thought that was a little interesting little tidbit. So we went up, we were invited to attend the closing gala evening of the Citizens Defending Freedom conference, which is organized by the Remnant Alliance. Do they defend freedom? Yes, most definitely. I would say that I went boots on the ground inside the Christian nationalist movement. It was amazing. the Christian nationalist movement. It was amazing. So this conference was about 250 pastors, preachers, and priests. It was a and they had all these, I didn't go to any of these sessions of course, but they went to all these sessions to

motivate them to speak into the culture, not avoid it. And I was kind of expecting like a vote Trump thing, but it wasn't that at all actually. And about 30%, maybe about 30% of these pastors were black. And yeah, yeah, that was, I thought that was, yeah, it was more than representative of the population, which was interesting. Speaking there were Laura Logan, the neighbor. Michael, she invite you? No, I was invited by her pastor. But it's all the... How come Laura didn't invite you?

How come she didn't invite you? She would have, but she knew I was coming. Yeah. But you know, and I have to talk to her because, I mean, if you have Laura Logan and she's going to speak, cause she was speaker, what would you want to hear from her? Stories? Yeah. What kind of stories? About what? About what topic? How about working in the media and how corrupt it is? Exactly. Yeah, of course. No, instead she has- At an event like that, you want to hear how screwed up things are. Yes. Yes. Yeah, of course. No, instead she has... At an event like that, you want to hear how screwed up things are.

Yes, yes. Yeah, of course. But instead, she talks about the child trafficking. It was a super bummer. You know, I'm like... Wow. Yeah, that would be... That's a downer, man.

Yeah, it's a downer, man. Hey man, that's a downer. But also, you it's a downer, man. Amen, that's a downer. But also, you know, I've done public speaking, you've done public speaking. You want to speak about something you are very familiar with, that you're really good at, you know, that you're well versed in. And so, I don't know how to approach it with her, but I think I need to just say, hey. Maybe she'll hear the podcast. No, she doesn't listen to it.

No, no, she just uses the name. She doesn't listen to it. No, no, she just uses the name. She doesn't listen to it. Oh, that's right. Yes. A little joke. She loves the name. And then also speaking was Michael Flynn. By the way, it's Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.

I didn't really realize that. It was like General Flynn. No, it's Lieutenant General. Isn't that, that's lower like General Flynn. No, it's Lieutenant General. Isn't that, that's lower than a general. Yeah, it's lower. Yeah. Is that just like an executive, a senior vice president?

I think it's a two star. I have no idea how the stars work. And he- Well, there's one, two, and three, and four. And the top guy is, you know, the general. He's the real general. The other guys are Lieutenant General. Oh, I thought you could just be a two-star general. I thought you have lieutenant general.

You could call him that too. So he's a two-star general. Well, I can't say. I'm going to look. It could be three. I don't know. I'm sure someone will tell us. I'm not even going to look it up. The chat room will tell us exactly how many stars the lieutenant general has. The chat room will tell us exactly how many stars the lieutenant general has. And now he was there. He and Laura, they kind of travel together. They do a lot of speaking. They do? Yeah, they do. Well, her husband Joe used to work for Flynn. Oh.

Yeah, DIA. These are all spooks. They're all spooks. So Joe comes over to our table. He's like, hey, Adam Tino, Adam Tino. He's very, very hyper. Adam Tino, Adam Tino, come on, you got to say hello to General Flynn, General Flynn, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. You make him sound like a cat in a cartoon. Anybody who knows Joe will be like, that's Joe, that sounds exactly like Joe.

Yeah, okay. knows Joe will be like, that's Joe. That sounds exactly like Joe. And so we go over like, hey, do a picture, do a picture. And Flynn is there basically just being inundated by people the whole time, taking pictures with him. He's got his tuxedo on and then we line up for a picture. And then Joe's like, did you ask him where Putin was? Looked around? That's what I would have done. I mean, I barely had time to thank him for his service. But Joe was like, yeah, this is General John, this is Adam Kreib, headbangers ball. And Flynn looks at me, huh? What? Headbangers ball? What? Of all the things Joe could have said about me, he's like, Hey, headbanger's ball.

And I, Flynn gave me a look like, okay, who's the lawyer? Cause I had my suit on. And I think he's there because, well, now that I think about it, you know, two movies were also being promoted, I think during the sessions. One is the Into the Light or Out of the Shadows, whatever it is. That's the very controversial child trafficking movie. That's probably why Laura was talking about that.

And Flynn has a, there's a documentary about him, which is out. I haven't seen it. But at the end, Charlie Kirk did the keynote. You know, he's the guy from Turning Point USA. Yes. Holy crap. That guy's impressive. Yeah, he's a good speaker. Oh, he's like 32 or 33. 33. Very, very, very impressive guy.

I mean, I- Yeah, he's got a high IQ and he's got a good base and he has good style. He knows how to speak. Oh, yeah. And he's seven feet tall. I had no idea. I'm like, well, you're kind of tall, dude. And, you know, and again, it was the whole, and pretty much what you said, he was saying,

hey, Christians, you don't vote. He said, you gotta go out and vote. But his main focus was on how churches fit. It was kind of, it was cool because he's like. So Kirk picked up on the Trump thing. Yeah, it's interesting. He did, yeah, he did. But he didn't say go out and vote for Trump.

He didn't say that. No, of course not, you don't do that. You don't have to. But't say that. No, of course you don't do that. You don't have to. But what he, why bother? You don't have to do that. Come on, hello. But what he was saying, and I like, you know, so there's 250 pastors, priests, and preachers,

and he's like, you guys failed during COVID. He said, you really failed. You let them close your church. And it was good. It was really impressive. So. And then that was it. Wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Why would it be scary? It sounds like it would be boring if anything. Christian Nationalists, man. Come on. That was them. That was the Christian nationalists right there.

And people on stage, like, you know, people introducing people. I'm a proud Christian nationalist, they can call me that if they want. If you, no, that would work fine. I think that would work as an intro. If you then pulled a gun out and shot it in the air. That would be the way to go.

Everybody was packing, I'll tell you that. That's for sure. A lot of guns, a lot of guns, a lot of pastors with guns. Pretty funny. It sounds like the event should have been called pastors with guns. Anyway. Oh, you didn't really get anything, you didn't get any real show material except you got to meet Flynn. Yeah, well that was the show. I mean, other than I investigated the Christian Nationalists and it was pretty tame. It was like, hey, wake up people, your churches are failing. I thought that was a pretty good message. That was Charlie Kirk, if you get a chance to see that guy talk,

he's good. He's really good. In fact, I was looking around and I got, Well, he's the one who did that, that conference. He does, he does them all over the, all over the country. Yeah. Like, and he had, well, the turning point conference that he did, I have a clip from it that I missed first time. Oh, is it an old clip? That I wanted to play. Okay. And it is, where is it?

I got a big list, unfortunately. Is it from today or is it an old one? I picked it up since the last show. It's from the turning point conference that Trump was at. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I got you. And I just thought this was something I'd never, I'd never considered, but I, but I actually have considered it, but it was, uh,

where is this? Oh man. Well, what are you looking at? Is it on today's list? It has to do with, yeah, it should be. It's got to do with Kamalas. It's a... Oh. Geez, this is unbelievable. I can't... You got a lot of... Oh, here it is. You over-clip, man. I am over-clipped. I can't find it. Oh, WTF Kamalas race? No.

No, that can't be it. No, that's a good one, though. No, no, but... Play that. No, no, no. I don't want to... I want to hear what you have from Turning Point. Oh. Trump in Atlanta. Trump force W 47 whatever that whatever that typo means

Graham Lebanon Lebanon Lebanon you're failing I am this is a complete epic epic fail while you're looking for, I can play a little piece which was from Charlie Kirk's podcast and he had James Lindsay on talking about her quote, unburdened by what has been. This is it. I have it. It's unburdened, explained. Oh, okay. Let me see if yours is longer. Mine is four seconds longer. I want to play mine. The quote is that we can see what can be unburdened by what has been. I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know? What can be unburdened by what has been? What can be unburdened by what has been what can be no unburdened by what has been that word

sourd or mine's longer because I don't have all the bullshit in there from Camel Yours is shorter and it's only four seconds why you interrupt? No I'm saying no I don't have she he just talks on mine he doesn't bring the camel. It's four seconds! It's four seconds then he goes back to talking. So the camera, yak yak yak, is only four seconds long?

Yes, yes! You know, what can be unburdened by what has been? What can be unburdened by what has been? Is that word salad or Marxism? It's Marxism. That is in fact not at all word salad. It's a Marxist incantation as a matter of fact. It's like a spell. So you can see the possibility of a world that's unburdened from its own history, which is exactly what Mao Zedong did when he launched the campaign of smash the four olds, the four old characteristics

of Chinese society. They were going to make a new China that was going to be unburdened by what had been in the past of China. This is what the Soviets, the Bolsheviks did when they took over power in Russia, is that they were going to make the new Russia, they're going to make the new man, as a matter of fact. People could become unburdened by what has been so that they could see what could possibly be in the terms of a socialist utopia. So when she says that, I assume given that her father was a Marxist, I assume she knows what she's saying and I don't buy her idiot Valley speak shtick one bit. I think she's far more smart and far more savvy than conservatives have

given her credit for, and she is an outright Marxist. It is very, very clear in her language. And that's what the Democrats want to nominate for president right now, which is kind of horrifying. I hadn't, I had not even considered that until I heard this. Well, when I heard it fell into place, because I've heard her say also, she also paraphrases the Marxist idea to each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities. Yes, yeah. Now we got to pay attention to that.

Which is what equity is all about. In other words, you give, so everyone comes out the same. So they, if you need more, you get more. And if you have more abilities to give more, you give more, which is a pure Marxist thing. In other words, you don't, you, it's, you know, if you're like some moron that doesn't or refuses to contribute to society, but you need a lot of food because you're a big fat guy, you have to, you have to give that. Yeah. It's better than Ozempic. But she is definitely a Marxist. And I didn't know that specific thing. But once he, Suzy said it was like, oh yes, absolutely. Yeah, now we got to pay attention. Although the coconut thing has nothing to do with Marxist.

It probably does. Somewhere there's some Marxist stuff in that coconut story. No, she's a definitely a Marxist, a classic Marxist, which we haven't seen for such a long time that we can't recognize it. This is the issue. And the Democrats don't see it because they're, you know, they're all, they've been suckered into, into believing all this stuff. They've been suckered. They're dumb. The Democrats are dumb, but I think we've established this in the show recently. Well, the campaign still seems to consist of Zoom calls, including Swifties for Kamala, which is coming up, and Deadheads for Kamala.

The one I watched was the Jews for Kamala. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Do you have any clips from it? No, I'm not going to take clips from it. There's just a bunch of people fawning all over them. Oh, we got to beat Trump. You know, he's going to be a dictator since day one. You know, I realized something. I realized that, you know, like the Jew haters on Mastodon, they have a lot in common with the pro-trans people who all hate Jews too.

They do? Well, yeah, they're all protesting queers for Palestine. Oh, that's right. They're queers for Palestine. Oh, that's right. They're queers for Palestine. Yeah. So these, we got a boots on the ground from one of our producers from Matt. He says, he sent me a whole bunch of links and screenshots. He says, this is bull crap that they had 50,000 or 200,000 people on a zoom call. He said he did a setup for Tony Robbins in 2020.

And it was actually just a beta test to see how many participants they could get on Zoom. And they, so Zoom gave them 300 participants who could interact with Tony, but there were an additional 20,000 participants that are view only. And the only way they could do it, and he had these pictures, they had all these Macs set up with a proprietary system called Canvas from some Canadian company, Immersive Design Studios.

Otherwise, it's not possible. You can't, and he had some amazing bandwidth brought into this place. He had four different providers pulling fiber into the studio just for this event. And that was to get 20,000. So I think it's bull. What they have is that- You think they're lying? You think these Democrats are lying to us?

Quite possibly. I think what they're doing is they have their celebrities on Zoom and then they just stream it on everything on X and YouTube. So it's a point I wanted to make. Good. Also, I wanted to say that I think considering where the economy seems to be headed, it could just be a blip on the radar. I don't know. I haven't listened to the latest DH unplugged. They may really want to give this to Trump. And I would say Kamala is in possible danger at the DNC. is in possible danger at the DNC. Well, this is, I don't think so personally. They just elected her by the way,

over the phone over the weekend. Yeah, I have a clip, hold on a second. So play that and then we can talk about her danger. Tonight, Vice President Harris and making it nearly official. The DNC saying she's won enough delegate votes to secure the Democratic nomination in a virtual roll call. I know that we are excited about the future, but we also know that we got a lot of work

to get there. She's expected to be named the nominee on Monday when she'll make history as the first woman of color at the top of a major party ticket. And tonight, new details on her running mate search. NBC News reporting these six short listers and vice president will be taking in person meetings with finalists over the night. So they they I guess they did a zoom call. Why they say virtually they should have just said they did a zoom call NBC News reporting

these six short listers and vice president will be taking in person meetings with finalists over the next 72 hours. Top contenders include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. The vice president has a deeply personal decision to make. She will make the right decision for her and for the country. Former President Trump weighing in today. I don't care. Let them do whatever.

They still want to have open borders. I think if she picks Shapiro, who happens to be Jewish, she loses her little Palestinian base. Now, Republicans note Harris never won a vote in a primary or caucus, but Democrats point to record fundraising as evidence of party enthusiasm. Harris raking in $310 million in July, far outpacing the Trump campaign. These are the same people who always say, what's the law that passed? That made corporations into people?

Citizens United? Yeah. Yeah. It's just money. We've got to get money out of politics. And now it's evidence that people love her. That's an interesting, I like that. That's a good observation.

Of course, we don't want to mention or even suggest that this money is just being laundered as foreign money coming in from China. With credit cards, baby. It's the Obama Chicom scam. For people who want to know how this works, it goes to ActBlue. They start attaching names to the names. They split up the money. And they split up the money so it looks like real individuals that are contributing. And anyone who's looked into it, they go to find these people and they find a lot of them are dead.

And they find these people and they say, I don't know. I didn't donate anything. People who vote. That's not voters. I didn't donate anything. It's a lot of old ladies. And this is a massive unreported scam. And it's so obvious. You can't get that kind of money for someone like Kamala

Harris overnight in five days. It just doesn't happen. This is foreign money coming into the country. It's his influence peddling money being laundered by Act Blue. That's what it is. This is influence peddling money being laundered by ActBlue. That's what it is. Yay. By the way, just to hammer home the point of the economy, everyone's talking about the Big Mac index. I go, oh, the Big Mac index. Oh, is it Big Mac buying is down, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I'd like to point out that our hair and hookers index has predicted this way before any Big Mac index. And I think it should be an indicator that is taken into account. The no agenda hair and hookers index. Hair product sales down, hooker prices down, girls looking better, end men, I guess for that matter. Hair and hookers, I like to term hairon Hooker's index. HHI, babe.

We should have an HHI indicator. Tell Horowitz to build one. He can do it. He does those things. I know. That's why. Weren't you guys talking about the Big Mac index? No, I don't know if we have or not.

Okay. Well, there it is. So, you know, this was kind of funny. We know that Trump went on the, you know, did the interview with the National Association of Black Journalists. It's amazing. I didn't clip it, but my hate listeners were like, he only stayed for half an hour and then his people pulled him out. But my hate listener, like, he only stayed for half an hour and then his people pulled him out.

You know. Right at the very beginning of the thing, which the clip we played last show, he explains how that works, how that happened. They kept him from coming on stage for a half hour and then he had to leave. Oh yeah. And then they blamed him. And then Kara and Scott were saying, you know, because they're marketing geniuses, you should know. They should really focus on his age, that he's too old, he's too old.

The very same people that kept saying, sharp as a tack. The flip flop is amazing. So on MSNBC, they had to, of course, combat this because Trump knows what he's doing when he says, Kamala is not black. A lot of people making a big deal about his K, black. Oh, that's racist the way he said black. Black, black. And we know that the blacks in America, who Mo would classify as American descendants of slavery,

i.e. Aidos, they're not going to fall for another Obama-type trick. Because they know that they're gonna get screwed in that deal, unless of course she selects Westmore as her vice president, but that's not looking very realistic. So they have to, of course, two Black people, Simone Sanders, who used to run the campaign for Bernie Sanders, no relation, and that Princeton professor, what's that guy's name? Eddie Glaude.

They have to go and discredit the A-DOS Americans. It's been about- Oops. No, I tend to agree, Simone. First of all, it's great to be back on the weekend again and see both of you. I think that's absolutely right on a certain level. There are those who call themselves Aidos, Americans of African, descendants of slavery,

and they are questioning whether or not she's black or not. And I think at the heart of that argument and at the heart of what Donald Trump is doing is a basic misunderstanding. Donald Trump is a little bit more sinister. There is this understanding of race in the United States that is very structured, that goes back to the one drop rule. There's a conflation here of racial hierarchy and ethnicity that's going on here. In so many ways, I want to just say that this is a distraction, and it reveals not only

how insidious Donald Trump is, but how dumb he is. So many ways, I want to just say that this is a distraction and it reveals not only how insidious Donald Trump is, but how dumb he is. This is a clown show on so many ways. And I don't want the campaign to get caught up in it. I want the campaign to continue to pursue its message. We're not going back, we're going forward. We don't want to go back to that mess. But those of us who have to address it, we need to have to address it with the seriousness of history and the seriousness

of our moment, I think. But I think you're absolutely right that he's trying to appeal to those Aidos people, Simone. He absolutely is. So first of all, don't send your kids to Princeton. Second, he brings in the one drop rule, which is total horse crap. And it comes from the play a showboat. Oh does it? Well I mean that's where it was popularized. So the one drop rule as I understand it is if you have one ancestor somewhere with one drop of white blood you're no longer black. So he's bringing colorism into it whereas it's very obvious Kamala Harris is not African

American. She's not an American descendant of slavery. And there are black people everywhere and are going on television trying to explain this with little success. Let's go back to 2000 when Don Lemon still had a show on CNN. Ah, the good old days. I miss the Don Meister. And he was convinced that she was not A-DOS for sure, and it was like she doesn't count. But she's black, but so what? Even though now there's numbers coming out showing that even her dad was not even fully black.

Well, it's not about color. The point is it's not about. It's beside the point. But let's listen to Don Lemon go after a black woman who's defending Kamala as being American Ados when she's not black woman. Okay, that's why I agree with that. I agree with that, but But is she african-american there's a difference there's nothing wrong with that no one is trying to take anything away from her I think you're falling. I think you're falling into the trap of that. All she had to do was say, I am black, but I'm not African American.

That's it. I'm not falling into a trap. Let me finish. Hold on. I'm not falling into a trap by that. Is that April Ryan? I don't remember. I think it is. When she goes down her lineage, many Africans landed in Jamaica and all these other Caribbean islands. So she could indeed be African American mixed with others.

Jamaica is not America. But she is a black woman. She was born here. Jamaica did not come out of Jim Crow. Okay, let's go on to Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz was born in Canada. I'm not talking about Ted Cruz. This is not about Ted Cruz.

You're changing the subject. I know, but you know what? We cannot, it was hypocrisy. I'm not changing the subject. Yes, you are changing the subject. She's a black woman. I don't know what you want. I'm going to do with Ted Cruz. Okay. April Re subject. You know what? We cannot. It was hypocrisy. I'm not changing the subject.

Yes, you are. She's a black woman. I don't know what you want. Okay. April Ryan is ADOS, American descendant of stupidity. Geez. Crazy. Yeah.

Well, remember, the ADOS Americans, they were okay with Obama. It was Kenyan, Hawaiian, call whatever you want. No, what was he? Not Kenyan, Indonesian. It was Kenyan. Indonesian, well. Oh no, he is Indonesian, yeah. Indonesian, yeah, because he had a white mom.

The whole thing was sketchy. But it was because of Michelle. Michelle, black Americans went, eh, you know, he's got Michelle there, so that's okay. So, if Kamala wants to win anything with this black vote nonsense, she has to have Westmore. Yeah, well, that's not happening. In fact, there was already a leaked. I don't, I didn't see that as a leak. I saw it as a scam of some sort. Do you have a clip?

It's just an ad with music and it's not clippable. But it was an ad that came out of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, I believe, from the mayor of Philadelphia congratulating Shapiro for being the vice presidential choice. It wasn't really congratulating Shapiro for being the vice presidential choice. But it wasn't really congratulating him. It said, she'll be great with Shapiro. Well, whatever it was, I think it was just a test dry run and maybe there could have been a hundred of these done, we don't know.

But Shapiro still, and it's going to be sketchy whether they pick Shapiro, as I pointed out in the newsletter, I have this. Yeah, it's the wrong guy. Which is that you have to give up Michigan if you're going to be sketchy whether they pick Shapiro, as I pointed out in the newsletter. Yeah, it's the wrong guy. You have to give up Michigan if you're going to take, but Pennsylvania is more important than Michigan. And I don't know what they're thinking. But Cooper left so that that ruins my thinking that was going to be Cooper. He said, no, I'm not going to do it.

And I think, what's her name? They're not going to run two women. I don't care what anybody wants to believe. Now Shapiro did cancel his trip to the Hamptons days before the reveal on Tuesday. So you know. I think it's going to be, I still think, Shapiro is still at the leaderboard.

He's the guy. But it's going to really screw up things because of the Palestinian supporters. Yeah, that's no good. And so you don't think that. We'll see, I don't know. You don't think there's any that the Palestinian supporters. Yeah, that's no good. And so you don't think that the vice president... The Jews for Harris meet up. Zoom call. All seem to be jacked up about Shapiro being the guy. Well, yeah, they're Jews. Hello.

You don't think there's any... I mean, just thinking as crazy people who want to assassinate candidates, you don't think that Kamala is in any danger? Being assassinated? Yeah. When's the last time since Kennedy that anyone even took a shot at a Democrat? It's a cycle. I don't know. Well, I mean, there is now, if you haven't noticed, this is in the news, if you keep

in track, if you keep in score. No, I'm too busy flying. All of a sudden, I don't have a clip and I should have, I was thinking about getting this clip, I didn't get it. All of a sudden, because they're investigating the Secret Service, now they've gone back to the pipe bombs in January 6th. Yes, I did notice. And they came out with the report saying, oh, these pipe bombs, they always explain

it. We're blaming the Secret Service for leaving the pipe bombs there. And then in the exposition of this discussion of the pipe bombs, they keep saying, and one of the pipe, there was a pipe bomb at the RNC and there was a pipe bomb at the DNC, and Kamala walked right past the new vice president, walked right past the pipe bomb and she could have been exploded. And I'm thinking, why is this all of a sudden being discussed as anything? Why is it in a new report?

So this was maybe a shot across the bow to warn her or to warn everyone that, yeah, we can blow you up. I don't know. Put her on equal footing. I did notice that. I didn't get any clips. I did see articles about it. That's interesting. Well yeah it's out of the blue. Out of the blue. Just out of the blue. Boom. We're talking about the pipe bombs now. Yeah yeah yeah because that was hushed up. We're like, don't talk about the pipe bomb. Don't talk about the pipe bomb. Yeah, because they both disappeared. Let me just do a quick headlock. Let me just do a quick Google

news scan. Let me see what they say. Kamala pipe. Pipe bomb. Pipe bomb. This will get me on a list. Yeah, you'll be on a list now. Use Google, use DuckDuckGo. No, too late. So listen to this. ABC News, new DHS watchdog report details how close Kamala Harris came to viable pipe bomb. Let me see. Is there any other mainstream? The Times, Kamala Harris came within 20 feet of pipe bomb at Capitol riot, which is a little

disingenuous. MSN, Kamala Harris, okay, that's came within 20 feet of pipe bomb January 6th. If anything, okay, how about this? Because they're connecting the pipe bomb to January 6th. So how about some kind of attempt that we can pin on Republicans? An attempt. I'm not saying that it would be successful, but an attempt. Because there's a lot of connection to January 6th. In fact, everyone's connecting to January 6th.

House Pantel, what was this? Oh, that's March. Hmm. We gotta keep our eye on this. Well, something's up. I mean, they're trying to, since Trump did get shot with a bullet, they finally admitted it.

Yeah, I have. They're trying to balance it a little bit. Well, you know, Trump got shot, so what? She would have been blowed up. Here's the latest about the Secret Service agents and the local cops. Tonight the Secret Service acknowledging that their agents could not hear radio traffic in the moments as local police desperately tried to find the men who would soon attempt to assassinate former President Trump.

Nice Nat Pops. There was really a big sense of urgency going on and the state and locals were doing everything they possibly could to try to find the assailant. In fact, the Secret Service had no personnel in a key command post where the radio traffic about shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was being listened to. There was clearly radio transmissions that may have happened on that local radio net that we did not have. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe holding a rare press conference today. And while he continued to express concerns that local police may have had a vantage point to clearly

see the shooter on the roof with a rifle, he again laid the blame for the overall failures squarely at the feet of his agency. In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure. And with this blunt assessment, as we approach the Democratic National Convention, the director warning that we're in a quote, unprecedented threat environment. Unprecedented threat environment. We of course have the best producers in the universe.

And I have a boots on the ground from the night of the thin blue line. He says I have many insights in the ways of American law enforcement. I have some firsthand insight as to how local law enforcement officers and the United States Secret Service coordinate VIP visits. I have worked several presidential visits to my city. Do we have the best producers or what? It's not like George Stephanopoulos says, hey, one of our producers here happened to be on detail with many presidents in his city.

No. The most recent event was when Trump visited my city for the state convention in 2023. Prior to the event, all personnel were advised of mandatory overtime all days off were cancelled all hands on deck for the 300-ish sworn personnel. Prior to the start of the day we local cops attended a detailed briefing to go over the written operational plan that included assignments and posting security zones etc. Everyone in attendance was required to sign the operational plan. And he puts in parentheses, where's the Philadelphia

operational plan that would put to rest who was responsible. Most importantly, it included how to communicate any security issues up the chain of command so the United States Secret Service agent embedded with our commanders could relay information to Secret Service personnel on the VIP detail. My post was the highest rooftop directly across the street from the event venue. It was a black roof, eight stories high in June in the southeast. It was hot. We didn't just decide to be more comfortable and sit in an air conditioned room on the

eighth floor of the building instead. Our department's motorcycle squad did the escort from the airport to the venue when Trump was about three miles out. We were ordered to land all drone, all UAV assets. No drones were able to fly, even police drones. Finally, when Trump left his motorcade to go inside, there were no fumbling and bumbling DEI hires who couldn't find their holster. The detail was mostly men who all looked like badass operators in nice suits who could handle

business. Like our dude, thin and knight of the thin blue line. That's how it's supposed to go. It doesn't sound like anyone had an operational plan they signed off on. Or did they? In fact, I understand that they anyone had an operational plan they signed off on. Or did they? I understand that they'd never had an operational plan that they didn't, the coordination between the locals and the, uh, and the secret service was nil. They were bitching about it.

Nil like a, like a soccer game. So when you hear that, that there was definite lines of communication in this event, this story sounds weird. Tonight, a stunning new admission from the Secret Service. It was so apparent to me that in this incident, in the final 30 seconds, there was clearly radio transmissions that may have happened on that local radio net that we did not have. Look at what happened.

And the seconds before a gunman opened fire on former President Trump, local police sounded the alarm over their radios that a gunman was on the roof. Only the Secret Service didn't get that message. This is going to drive our operations going forward. Ronald Rowe, the new acting director of the Secret Service, taking questions from reporters today at the first press conference since the July 13th rally. Pressed by NBC News as to why Secret Service agents didn't know local police were communicating about the shooter, Rowe explained, we had our

security room and then they had a unified command post. We have to rethink how we, you know, where we put our security rooms. Local and federal law enforcement who have worked with Secret Service tell NBC News this type of coordination is critical. How important is it for Secret Service and local law enforcement to be together physically during an event? It's extremely vital so you have no communication gaps between the agencies. Today's revelations come in just days after Roe fell under sharp scrutiny from senators

that demanded more answers. He promised the agency is doing a full review and will discipline or fire agents who should be held accountable. And tonight the coroner's report obtained by our Pittsburgh affiliate WPXI confirms Crooks was killed by a gunshot to the head. Oh, thanks Captain Obvious. No, there you go. So that smells bad. gunshot to the head. Oh, thanks Captain Obvious. Now there you go.

So that smells bad. Well, like I said, they're blaming this guy Roe was just as responsible as the Cheetal woman. Yes. He should go. Yes. He's thinking he should quit. I have two more Kamala clips. I don't know if you have any more. I have one. I just want to play this one first.

Which is one of my weird clips. A WTF clip. This is the WTF clip. Earlier this week, speaking to a gathering of black journalists, former President Donald Trump questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity. And now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? She is always identified as a black woman. She went to a historically black college.

I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't. Now in there, we played this clip before in this entirety. Yes. The journalist from ABC says she's always identified as a black woman, which is a blatant lie. Yeah, it's not true. We have plenty of clips of Kamala identifying as a South Asian woman over and over and over again. They had specials on her, done with other Indians, and she was the South Asian.

So that's bull crap. So she, this ABC reporter who is very hostile, I agree, just lied right there. Well, Kamala is so all in on her Indian heritage, she should be running Google. I mean, seriously, it was just continuous. Or Microsoft, or any big tech company for that matter. This is, who is this? This is Conserve the Culture founder and an activist, Michaela Montgomery.

A few days ago, President Trump said he didn't know Vice President Harris was a black woman. I'm trying to figure out what all the outrage is about because she's only black when it's time to get elected. She's very good. Did you see he brought her on a second time? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, he's got a gold mine in this one. She's very good. She's good. Did I lie? The same black people who are mad at Trump for being confused about her race, ethnicity, nationality, whatever, are seemingly forgetting that while you're touting her as a savior for black people, she identifies as an Asian woman.

She chose her side and it wasn't ours. When asked if she would ever do anything specifically for black people, she said no. Whereas Trump gave us the platinum plan. We specifically uplifted the black community by increasing capital by almost $500 billion, creating 500,000 new black businesses and would give black churches the ability to fight for federal resources for their communities. There's another thing in there that I learned from the MoFact show that in the workplace

most ADOS, I'm just going to make it very clear, are severely discriminated against by Asians, i.e. Indians, particularly in the tech sector. Oh, that's interesting. I can see that. Like to a severe degree. And when the whole Floyd thing came around, all of a sudden, then all these Silicon Valley companies,

these tech companies were like, hey, you're black, why don't you come to the meeting and tell everybody how you feel? Interesting. Yeah, yeah. Well, of course there's a lot of classist issues in general. Well, you always had that with Indians, because the only ones that are over here really to any extreme are Brahmins. Yeah. And

they're very classic, classist, and they wonder... Except the ones that listen to no agenda. No, even our Brahmins are the same. There's no question about it. But they just happen to be up to date with things a little better. But Indians, from my sources, the Indian contingents in the United States are just baffled, the Brahmins. They're baffled by why we don't have a class structure. Doesn't make sense to them. We do. We got poor people.

We do, but not in any rigid way. It's not like, I mean, the Brahmin, Brahmins through the Untouchables, the other end of the spectrum is very rigid. You're promoting favelas. I mean, come on. We're very classist. Well, promoting favelas is different. Oh, okay.

It's a housing. That's a practical solution to a problem. It's a housing program. By the way, that comes up at the dinner show. Nobody has been able to debate my favela. In fact, JC, Buzzkill Jr. He likes to always cite these urban analysis of authors, including one famous one whose name is eluding me. They're really kind of,

there's an undercurrent in terms of urban development and urban theory that favelas are not a bad idea. Well, if I could add to it, I think we should do the American version of a favela. You've already picked the spot. It's that hill overlooking San Francisco. It's on the other side, actually. When it says South San Francisco, it's on the side. It overlooks the peninsula, really, not San Francisco so much.

Is it a nice view though? Oh, it's dynamite. Killer. Well then, instead of, you know, the shanty towns, it just drop a whole bunch of federally funded tiny homes. Then you kind of have a, you know, like the community first village. This is, this is, this I had to argue against this sort of thinking. No. Why not? The reason, because then all of a sudden you're going to have regulations and zoning.

You cannot allow the government involved. But there's, where it's working in Austin, Community First Village, there's no regulation. The government's not involved. So just have the tech guys pay for it. But it's not in any way a shanty town. No. That where people are building their own stuff and they're just self-regulating. Is that a requirement?

Self-regulation is the key to this. Okay. All right. Can we make wood available? Most people can find wood. Okay. But yeah, it'd be nice to do what they, you do what they used to do with the, remember the riots that used to take place during the Floyd and the whole

Antifa era where you'd go, you'd go around the corner and there'd be a load of bricks that somebody left there so they could throw the bricks at the cops. And no one ever knew where these bricks came from. Well those guys, yeah, drop some wood and bricks. Bring those guys back and have them drop bricks and wood and every, yeah. Sure, you can do that. All right.

I'm not against your idea at all. I see it as a solution. It's hard to argue against. No, but still the land has to be made available by the government, so they have to, it has to be city council. It says fallow. It's sitting out there right now. There's no, it's not being used for anything except for this,

except for the signage. It says South San Francisco. That can be removed. Leave it up. Put it, put lights on it. You can use it to build part of the house. Put lights on it so people can see it from, from, from the, from down below. Um, meanwhile, by the way, that where the Hollywood sign is in LA, another perfect spot. Yeah, it was a great spot. The Sonia Massey killing is gaining steam ahead of the convention in Chicago.

It's been about two weeks since the body camera footage of 36-year-old Sonia Massey being fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy was released to the public. All too often black Americans face fear for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not. On July 6th Massey was shot and killed by former deputy Shawn Grayson inside her home in Springfield Illinois. This happened after police say she called 911 to report a prowler in her neighborhood. Grayson has since been fired from his job and charged with her murder. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges, while the Sangamon County Sheriff's Department has spoken out against the shooting, saying it does not reflect their values and training.

No justice, no peace! Here at home, activists are calling for justice and change. Has any improved since the killing of George Floyd in 2020? No. No. Pass the George Floyd bill. Organizers held a peaceful protest out to Chicago police headquarters calling for the passing of the George Floyd justice and policing act. The bill increases accountability for law enforcement misconduct. By the way, I saw, yes. So the guy was kicked off his job, charged with murder. Yes, no justice, no peace.

He's charged, they've arrested him for murder, which is what was appropriate. And they wanted to do what more? Do they want to torture him? No, they want the George Floyd Act signed, which was a common thing. What is that going to accomplish that the normal justice system that already arrested the guy for murder? What needs to be done? I'm not getting this.

That's a very good question. Let me see what the St. Floyd Act includes. They want police officers accountable. That guy's been arrested for murder. Hello. The bill enhances enforcement mechanisms to remedy violations by law enforcement. Among other things, does the following. Lowers the criminal intent standard from willful to knowing or reckless to convict a law enforcement officer of misconduct in a federal prosecution, limits qualified immunity as a defense to liability in a private civil action against law enforcement officer, and grants administrative subpoena power to the Department of

Justice in pattern or practice investigations." That's probably the big one right there. So it doesn't really change anything. But it's got nothing to do with this case. The guy's been arrested for murder. I will say- So this is all specious. This is all, this is all designed- PR. It's PR.

Well, it's more than PR. It's trying to handcuff the police. Yes. Well, it's PR. I will say I saw the second body cam footage, and I'm not saying that this cop did the right thing, but the woman, when she threw the boiling water, was throwing the boiling water at the cop and that's when he shot. Not saying that that was the right thing to do, but no one saw that. Did you even know it?

No, I did not know this. Because there's two body cams. My understanding, since you? No, I did not know this. Because there's, there's two body cameras. My understanding since you saw that, I didn't. My understanding was that she just threatened to do it and never did. That's the way it was presented to me. Yeah, no, you'd actually see the water being thrown. But I didn't even know if it was boiling. I don't know any of that. But it doesn't matter because it was not not good. Anyway, do you have anything else on Trump or anything? Because there's not much going on right now. I mean just the same old same old. Everyone's forgotten that he almost got killed. That doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. I have two series on Trump. One is there I have a, I have two series on clunk on Trump. One is there.

One of them is they're trying to pin something on him to kind of like soften the blow the Biden, you know, obvious corruption and graft. And so they've come up with this bull crap. This is Carol Lennon on the Trump bribe. Who is she? Carol Lennox. Lennox or Lenin? Oh, it's... It says Lennox. She's introduced, I'm pretty sure.

And Carol, I want to ask you because you have a new exclusive out about a secret investigation into whether Donald Trump received cash from... Stop, stop. This is a long clip, man. She... Yeah, I'm sorry. She is a reporter for the Washington Post. Wop-a-wop-a-wop-a-wop-a. And she's implying that Trump was given a bribe in cash.

From Egypt? Is that the thing? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Addiction President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, allegedly... and allegedly, if you could walk us through, exactly how did $10 million possibly get from the government of Egypt to then President-elect Donald Trump? What happened and what was jaw dropping- Jaw dropping.

For US government investigators, federal prosecutors, FBI agents, was the CIA in early 2017 alerted the Department of Justice that they had credible intelligence from an informant and corroborated by additional intelligence gathering that LCC had plans in late 2016 to basically inject or illegally give $10 million to Donald Trump's reelection efforts. But essentially, he wanted to help Donald Trump get elected and he was going to do this with $10 million under the table. Investigators looked and looked and looked to figure out if this intelligence was true. Could they figure out was this money ever spirited to Donald Trump?

Did he spirited? Why would you use that term? Spirited. That's interesting. Spirited. Intelligence was true. Could they figure out was this money ever spirited to Donald Trump? Did he and their words accept a bribe? But the problem The problem was, although they found a Cairo bank had made a bizarre withdrawal of cash, exactly matching the intelligence. $10 million pulled out of essentially the Egyptian CIA's account, just as the intelligence suggested.

They found this withdrawal of cash stuffed into duffel bags five days before Donald Trump became president. But the problem for investigators in the United States was they wanted to get Donald Trump's records, his bank records, to determine did that money from Cairo that was so suspicious, $10 million in U.S. bills, did it land in Donald Trump's accounts? And the US attorney basically said, no, I'm not going to let you subpoena those records. You don't have enough evidence to do that. And Bill Barr, the attorney general at the time, he killed it, very suspicious of this request to subpoena for records and expressed doubts about whether or not this case was justified.

In the end, the prosecutors and the FBI agents threw up their hands. They said they couldn't do this investigation without getting that information. And they were despondent because they felt they had a lot of evidence suggesting this could be true. They had to find out if it was, and they were never allowed to do that. So in, in the world in which we live, where the media believes that they are the ones that choose our presidents, this would be a smoke screen for the act blue shenanigans going on with this 200 million for Harris. Right.

And also drive it takes away from the guy that the Democrat just, uh, Yeah, it was quit because gold bar man, gold bar, because the gold bar man. Gold bar Bob. Gold bar Bob. Why? This is definitely a smoke screen. And here's a couple of things that should be noted. The CIA can look at anybody's bank account.

They would have seen this. They didn't need to really do any of this. This is bull crap. This is the same as the 51 CIA guys, who intelligence experts who said, oh yeah, the This is bull crap. This is the same as the 51 CIA guys who, intelligence experts who said, oh yeah, the laptop's bull crap, even though the FBI had it in their possession. Russian disinformation. And the Russian, that too. So the whole, this is a bogus story. But why use the term spirited? I look at the definition. I don't see how you can connect

transferring money to spirited unless it's like... Spirited is a term you would use in writing to imply sneaking and spiriting it off. You're sneaking it through the system. Like a ghost. Like a ghost. Ah, okay. Gotcha. So I think it's a good use of the word. I would never use it myself, but I think that's what she's trying to get. She's trying to get that image in your brain that's ghost-like, spiriting it through. Yes, okay, got it, got it. Part two.

Yeah, that's pretty stunning, Carol. I mean, Egypt has been in the news. Stunning! Let me step away for the enthusiasm. Yeah, that's pretty stunning, Carol. Yeah, that's pretty stunning, Carol. I mean, Egypt has been in the news a lot lately, namely because Democratic Senator Bob Menendez was convicted just last month of acting as a foreign agent for Egypt. Is there a

possible pattern here of Egypt's efforts in trying to influence US politicians? The key linchpin in all of this, Laura. Wow. Wow. So they can't really do Russia anymore. So we're going to do Egypt now? Now Egypt's the boogeyman? Well, there's also this element we noticed earlier in the show with the pipe bomb is that we have to have a balancing act. The Democrats did this, took a shot at Trump. So we had, oh, somehow now the Republicans, even though we don't have any evidence whatsoever,

let's just dream up a story and make it so it's, yeah, Melendez did this on Trump, he was taking a bribe, a $10 million bribe. And meanwhile, of course, they act blue thing, like you said, is hundreds of millions, but okay. The key linchpin in all of this, Laura, is again, Egypt's general intelligence agency, essentially LCC CIA.

This is an important spy network that Sisi has relied upon to pressure and push for his agenda abroad. Oh wait, this also, this has a secondary benefit because we know that Egypt won't take in any Palestinians. So let's make those guys look stupid. Possibly. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Especially in the United States. What Menendez's bribery conviction and trial showed was the General Intelligence Service's top officials were reaching out and making friends with Menendez and trying to steer him to push specific things that were important to Sisi on the world stage. It went so far as Menendez actually giving them some important information that was pretty sensitive about employees of our government who are in Egypt, which was pretty sensitive information. And it went so far that he took a lot of money from people who were operating at Egypt's

bidding, and he was accused of being a foreign agent of that country. The General Intelligence Service, once again, CC's CIA, was the entity that the US intelligence said would be used to spirit this money to Donald Trump. And the General Intelligence Service account is where that bizarre $10 million cash withdrawal came from. Carol Lenig of the Washington Post, thank you for your time. Riveting. Thank you, Laura. you for your time. Riveting. Thank you, Laura.

Riveting, Carol. Riveting. Riveting, Carol. Thank you. So that's just a smear. It's a smear. Just same smear as you can go. It's a spirited smear.

A smear. It was a smear in the Jewish sense. I have two other ones. I got Trump in Atlanta, an NPR clip. Former President Donald Trump held a rally in the battleground state of Georgia today. As NPR's Stephen Fowler reports, the state has a new significance in the presidential race.

Trump's packed rally had the same crowd size and energy as Vice President Harris's rally days earlier. Exactly the same. At the exact same venue. By the way, stop, stop. Yeah. Exactly. Even though the Democrats had to bring in the homeless, they bussed them in and paid people money to show up at the Harris campaign and then brought a twerker in, a hip hop artist,

to do entertainment to keep them there. Megan Thee Stallion. Megan Thee Stallion. And they did that and it was like the same exactly the same. Okay. Also, you know, this guy on the Tik Toks, he was, uh, he was showing crowds waiting in line for a Harris event and it was all AI. It was all, you know, people holding up, people holding up signs with their hands going through the sign and,

and very, very weird things like, yeah, that doesn't really look authentic, bruh. Wow. There's good reason both campaigns are paying attention to the peach state. It's one of several newly competitive states now that Harris is in the race. And we can't let that happen because if we lose Georgia, we lose the whole thing and our country goes to hell because we can't have her be president of the United States. She's grossly incompetent. Both Trump and Harris have launched

multi-million dollar ad buys across seven battleground states that will decide who wins in November. Stephen Fowler, NPR News, Atlanta. I'm noticing this flaw in the Trump campaign, and I really started to pay attention to it when he said at the NABJ interview that their whole campaign was geared towards Joe Biden and that they really weren't prepared for Harris. And I can't understand why he hasn't called her Cackling Camilla yet.

I mean, it's so obvious. He needs a name. It's like lion camela. No, cackling camela. That is, I think that's persuasive. This has come up in the conversation, if you listen to enough of these resources, which is that the Trump campaign supposedly, I'm not buying this completely, that the Trump campaign supposedly, I'm not buying this completely, that the Trump campaign was flat-footed when Biden bailed.

I wouldn't say that. And they're still strategizing what to do, and Trump's kind of ad-libbing. That's the way the thing about the Indian heritage kind of came out. Even though it seems like a plot to me, it seems like he was, he schemed that but they're making it sound as though he just made it up on the fly, which he doesn't do that much of. He practices his bits. Yes. Maybe you're right. Cackling Camelot would be a lot better because it does give you an image.

Or communist Camelot. I mean, you can do a lot of things be a lot better because it does give you an image. Or communist Camla. I mean, you can do a lot of things, a lot of alliteration opportunities. It's only been a week or so, so I think it'd give me a little time. All right. Well, there's another thing I feel they're not prepared for. And this is a, it's a risky move,

but No Agenda Shop may want to think about it. Noagendashop.com. may want to think about it. NoAgendaShop.com So all of Trump's merchandise has 45, 47 on it. This is very risky because he may have to make it 48 if Joe dies and Kamala becomes the 47th president. His merch will be no good. Wow. So that is about as obscure a concept as I've heard.

Thank you. So no, it makes it collectible. Yeah. Well, yes, but being ready and having a Trump 48 would, you know, you'd be, you'd be ahead of everybody. Yeah. The problem with that is that if that guy, if somebody leaked a 48 out there, that would mean he's not quitting.

He's staying in office, you know, or some, some scamish thing that would come up with. Well, that is an interesting point. Yes. He would have to change it to 45, 48. Yes. Or just 48 to 45, 48. Yes. Or just 48. Or just 48.

Just a thought. Just a thought. Just a thought. Well, anything can happen. If you saw the one clip, which I reposted on Twitter, I use Twitter. Yes. I've seen you. This one clip that's floating around, it's Biden at the meeting with the hostage exchange, and he wanders off as he wants to do. He wanders off and wanders onto another plane and just goes in.

Well, did you see this? Yes, I did. Well, I want to say a couple of things about it because this was the airplane that brought the Russian prisoners in the prisoner swap, which we can certainly talk about. The White House has come up with a statement. So he walked up the stairs and I mean, certainly the way it was positioned, the clip, the way Kamala was looking at him like like, what's he doing? What are you doing? I mean, it was almost like, hey, Joe, Joe, Joe, come back.

But it was one of those wandering off things like he did in Europe when he wandered off to the wrong guy, the post trooper. Well, but the White House has come out with a statement. The interlude for Biden lasted two minutes. The president was out of view for about a minute and 40 seconds. President Biden wanted to personally thank the flight crew who brought these brave individuals home to their families. White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates told the Daily Mail. Now that is already barely believable, but you can see that he walks up the stairs and turns right. He doesn't turn left towards the flight crew unless he wanted to thank those. Yeah, I do recall him. He looks like he turned right.

Yeah, he wanted to sniff the shooters. And I think the best excuse was he had to go to the bathroom. That would have been better. It would have been more logical. According to Tinfoil Hat in the troll room, the flight crew was actually on the tarmac next to the plane. Well, that makes it even funnier. Let's just talk about this for a second because this deal, let me see. All right. So here's the CBS.

And by the way, that overshadowed the deal itself. You know, everyone's like, oh, look at that guy. Oh, but everyone's very distracted by that. Not at all talking about the deal. Marine veteran Paul Whelan was the first former prisoner to step back onto US soil, immediately welcomed home by President Biden and Vice President Harris. Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich soon followed, embracing his mother on the tarmac. Yeah! And journalist Alsu Kermasheva,

who could not wait to see her daughters. To me, this is about the essence of who we are as a country. who could not wait to see her daughters. To me, this is about the essence of who we are as a country. It really is about personal relationships, it's about families. Waylon's family played a critical role securing his release. They were disappointed when he was not part of the last prisoner swap with Moscow that freed WNBA star Brittany Greiner and former US Marine Trevor Reed. Sometimes some harsh words with the government having to keep

them accountable for taking care of us but in the end you know here I am. At least five Americans remain imprisoned in Russia including 61 year old Mark Fogel a teacher from Pennsylvania. Two years ago, Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony for possessing medical marijuana. In a statement to CBS News, his family said, we are completely heartbroken and outraged that Mark has been left behind while the US government brought other Americans home.

President Biden vowed to fight for Fogel. We're not giving up on that. The agreement led to the release of 24 prisoners by seven different countries, among the freed Russians, a convicted murderer, several spies and hackers. On CBS Morning's national security adviser Jake Sullivan justified the trade. At the end of the day, the president looked at this deal and he said, what we are getting, the value of human life,

the value of putting families back together, the value of standing up for freedom of the press far exceeds what we are giving up by sending a few more criminals back to Russia. All right, so the American media was completely useless on giving us any details or really how the deal fit together I went to the European media France 24 and Deutsche Welle and first of all, I mean just considering this swap

I I would say the Washington Post guy probably was a spook. He probably was spying there That's what he was arrested for and that's why they wanted him back That's just my feeling. I have nothing to base that on. I feel the same way. And here's the sister of the Fogel guy. It was a long-awaited reunion for the freed American prisoners and their loved ones. But for the families of those still being held in Russian prisons, it's also a huge disappointment.

American Mark Fogel was not part of the exchange on the 1st of August. It's bittersweet that they left Mark behind. That's what happened and they preferred other people over him. Yeah, we want something valuable. But it's valuable. It's human life, says Jake. valuable. But it's valuable, it's human life, says Jake. It's human life, except yours, you're less valuable. Deutsche Villa actually had some details, which I appreciated. So what do we know about the size and scale of this deal? Well, this was the largest prisoner swap in the post-Soviet era and it took place in Turkey. The US, Russia and others exchanged 24 prisoners and two children. 10 people have been moved to Russia

for 16 Western and Russian nationals. Now perhaps the most well-known of them is Wall Street Journal reporter, Evan Gurskiewicz. He was detained in Russia on spying charges in March of last year. German national Rico K., who was sentenced to death in Belarus on terrorism charges, is also among those freed. As is Vadim Krasikov, a Russian who was convicted of the 2019 murder of a former Chechen militant

in Berlin. While speaking about the exchange, US President Joe Biden paid particular tribute to German leader Olaf Scholz. I particularly owe a great sense of gratitude to the Chancellor. The demands they were making to me required me to get some significant concessions from Germany, which they originally concluded they could not do because of the person in question. But everybody stepped up. Poland stepped up.

Slovenia stepped up. Turkey stepped up. And it matters to have relationships. It really does. So there was a lot going on in this deal that we really don't know about. But I do want to mention something that was kind of amusing, which is the two children that were the kids of one of the spies that went back to Russia were completely unaware that they're Russian. Wondered who the hell this Putin guy was.

And why are we on this plane going to Moscow? Why are we on this plane going to Moscow? Why are we on this plane going to Moscow? And they don't speak Russian. And they were completely befuddled. The stories about the two kids being, what happened to us is apparently hilarious. Yeah. So I guess this is part PR because the WAPO is a journalist. I guess this is part PR because the WAPO is a journalist and Hoyo is a journalist.

You know, I always wonder how leaky the CIA is when it comes to these guys. Ever since the entire Chinese infrastructure of American agents in China that were all arrested and shot because of one counter agent that was working for the CIA gave them the names away. If these, you know, it's like every spook in Russia is not identified already. Yeah. They're just keeping an eye on them and they arrested that one guy for whatever reason. Well, here's the thing. They didn't, if this was a PR move, they didn't do it right. You know, is the guy in the morning shows?

Is he doing interviews? Is he out there talking about how great Joe and Kamala are? Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I set my foot back home on American soil and there was the president, the vice president to greet me. He even went in to get my bag off the plane. That would have been the way to play it. No. So it just feels wrong. And we all got really distracted by Biden's meandering. Because it was funny. Oh, it was hilarious.

But when I see that, I'm like, okay, what are we missing here? And what we're missing is the actual story. So, and can you even remember one of the other names of the other? There's apparently a thousand Americans in jail in Russia. No, personally. No. Okay. So, not a good job, people.

Not a good job. Anything else on this? Because we've got to go to the UK. Let's go to the UK. Let's go to the UK. UK is in chaos. And our producer, Boots on the Ground, Sarah, has been keeping me very up to date. Most of it not usable for the show, but just so I kind of know what's happening. She's, you know, there's a lot of people doing YouTube videos and TikTok videos and you can

take that for what it is. But there's a lot of videos of people with machetes and knife fights and hammers and yeah, going crazy. Here's a background. I have a background. It's the only thing I have is this one. I had something the last show, but I bumped it for this one. This is the UK riots

This is the newest version from NPR. It's a very short Extremely short backgrounder. It was a violent day in several British cities today riots involving hundreds of anti-immigration Protesters began after false information spread on social media They said the suspect in a knife attack earlier this week was a radical Muslim immigrant. Police say the suspect was born in Wales. Yeah. Yeah. Wait a minute. Now see, this is the... We've had three versions of this guy. First he was an immigrant and then he was a Rwandan. Which I think that's the truth. He's born of Rwandan immigrant parents.

In Wales. I don't know about Wales. Well, that's what he said. He said he's born in Wales. Yeah. I don't know about Wales. Well, that's what he said. He said he's born in Wales. Yeah, I don't know about Wales. So how many Rwandans are in Wales that then go to London and start stabbing kids? It wasn't in London. Oh, it wasn't in London. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was in London.

No, no, no. Southport. This is the north. Well, beside the point, it's nowhere near Wales. Be careful. No, we're near Wales. Okay. Let me see. Southport and Wales. No, this is Liverpool. Anyway, what's happening is, so this has been bubbling under for a long time in the UK.

People are very tired of the immigration. And there was even a story here. Yes, facts on a plate. Our population is at least 77 million. The UK has gone from 59 million in 2001 to between 77 and 80 million by the independence count. They're saying, well, of course, this is all immigration. by the independence count. And they're saying, well, of course, this is all immigration.

And if you follow Tommy Robinson, who's a little tough to follow because he's so vilified and he speaks like a hooligan, it's just what he is, the way he speaks. But there's a lot of, we've seen the grooming, we've seen a lot of a lot of horrible things. And even someone looked it up for me back in episode 986 or something of the show. We were talking about the increased knife crime in the UK. And I remember we got people like, Hey, shut up. It's not that bad. And now we have people saying that just about Nigel Farage. Yes, exactly. Oh, well, so Farage, of course, you know, these are now his people.

So the people who are out there and these are northerners. Now, this is what happened with when the Iron Lady came in. What's her face? The Iron Lady was Thatcher. Yeah, when Thatcher came in, you know, we had the guys from the north come down with their, you know, the thin white English dudes with their pitchforks and their torches and, you know, you don't want to piss these guys off. And they're all walking around, you know, with they're all tatted up. They're all workers. They're blue collar. They got the union

jack right draped around their shoulders and they're tired of it. So they of course are the far right. They're the far right. Don't you understand? It's the far right. The far right is rioting. The far right is a problem. Here's a short clip from a podcaster, Paul Thorpe, and he's one of them. He's one of them. See, these looters have become Keir Starmer's and the mainstream media's useful idiots. And they are allowing them to hide the bigger picture from all of us. So we get to problem three. The real protesters, the ordinary mums and dads, nans and granddads, are now, of course, predictably being lumped in with the rioters. We knew that

was going to happen didn't we? Allowing Stammer to dismiss the real wishing and lay the blame firmly at the door of the so-called far right which has now become a term surely that needs to be quickly put to sleep before the country explodes. Doesn't this government, doesn't the mainstream media, realise that every single unfair, every single biased headline, all this misleading and inaccurate rhetoric is only stoking the fire? And their refusal to look at the bigger picture is simply staggering. And if they continue to label everyone as far right, then don't be surprised when people

start to behave like it. I think we should give this guy the 3 a.m. slot on our cable channel. I think it'd be great. Well, a 3 a.m. slot would be a... 8 a.m. in the UK. Yeah, it'd it's 3 a.m. so it would be a... 8 a.m. in the UK. Yeah, it's perfect. Yeah, it would be UK drive time. So here's GB News, which is supposed to be the conservative, you know, like the Fox News version, soft Fox News in the UK.

Here's their morning show. These two dits are pretty funny. Has been another night of serious violence on the streets as protesters have attacked a police office, set a car on fire and they've surrounded a mosque in Sunderland. The demonstration which was in Sunderland, as you say, was one of more than a dozen that have been planned by someone across the country this weekend. Someone or the Prime Minister's warned protesters they would face the full force of the law. He's of course trying to crack down on the violence.

And of course this violence seems to be happening ironically and dreadfully after those three little girls were murdered during the mass stabbing in Southport. How is this ironic? How is this ironic? People are mad about this. I don't understand the irony of it. Play it back again, maybe I can catch it. The Prime warm protesters, they would face the full force of the law. He's of course trying to crack down on the violence.

And of course, this violence seems to be happening ironically and dreadfully after those three little girls were murdered during the mass stabbing in Southport. Oh, I get it. So they're disconnecting the two. Well, yeah, they're making it ironic because it was violence that killed the three little girls and they're exhibiting violence.

Yeah. Ah. Yeah. Oh, oh, gee, how ironic is that? I wonder why. How could that be? Who could say it? I think it's legit.

G.B. News, please. I do think it is very difficult to think about how we manage all this. And the fact we sort of say it's in the wake of what's happened in Sunderland It's got nothing to do now With Southport has it clearly whoever is orchestra did literally saying it. Oh, it's nothing to do with it Am I am I miss me? It's no sense Yeah, to think about how we manage all this and the fact we sort of say it's in the wake of what's happened in Sunderland It's got nothing to do now

It has everything to do with Sunderland. All right, so maybe maybe you know, they're they're making a misconnection But this is not the first thing that has happened to young girls or or people in general in the UK There is just like Sweden, we don't hear about it anymore, but there's a lot of illegal immigrant crime taking place. So you can't disconnect this GB news. But clearly whoever is orchestrating these events. Oh, and it's Russia. Maybe Russia is doing it.

What is she? She's orchestrated. It's orchestrated. Whoever is doing this She's orchestrated. It's orchestrated. Whoever is doing this. Egypt. Egypt. It's got nothing to do now with South Port, has it? But clearly whoever is orchestrating the... Yes, absolutely right. Looney MC Tooney. The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final and most essential command. Exactly. Don't believe your eyes and ears, people.

But clearly, whoever is orchestrating these events is using South Port as some sort of a trigger. Excuse. And it may be an excuse. But for what, you ask? I've heard many commentators say, what do they think they're achieving? And I think the answer is that they don't think at all. They're just looking for an excuse to cause trouble. Well, I think some are, but there is, I think Mark White, our Home and Security Editor, has put it very well over the last couple of days,

when he's talked about the fact that there is now great parts of the British community who feel unheard, underrepresented, ignored by the politics, but not ignored by the police. When you compare it to the idea of two tier policing, where if you've got a pro-Palestine march and all awful things are chanted, nothing seems to happen. But you shove a lot of white people together and the police move in with riot gear. Yeah, there's a lot of this, a lot of these, because I'm watching the crowds, I'm watching people interview people in the crowds. There's a lot of this two-tier policing, two-tier justice system. Hey, welcome to the party UK! Welcome to what we've been subjected to. We just don't use machetes. So of course, yet, yet, of course, this is fodder for all kinds of cool stuff we can

do when, when the population kicks up like this. In Liverpool, Bristol, Hull or Belfast, anti-immigration protests have swept across several British cities in what's become the most widespread rioting in the country for over a decade. In Nottingham 2, Far-right demonstrated... What happened a decade ago? What rioting? We were around with the show. What rioting was there a decade ago? This was that era when the students were protesting and they developed that tea kettle approach. Remember that? Oh yeah! Keteling, yes, Keteling. Keddling, oh, a good one. Tree for over a decade.

In Nottingham too, far-right demonstrators took to the streets on Saturday, facing off with anti-racism groups. People are fed up of being told you should be ashamed if you're white and working class. Well, I'm proud white working class. There is an attempt to exploit a very tragic situation. This is a nationwide protest that we've seen come out of nowhere. And Nottingham is a multiracial city and we want everyone to feel comfortable in their own city centre.

The widespread riots follow a stabbing in Southport that killed three young girls earlier this week. False information about the suspect's background quickly spread online, fuelling anti-Muslim and anti-migration demonstrations even after police confirmed the suspect was born in Britain. The violence has prompted hundreds of mosques to step up security. It's a first test for newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer. His government has promised a firm response. Criminal violence and disorder has no place on Britain's streets. We've been clear to the police that they have our full backing in taking the strongest possible action against perpetrators

including when making sure that there are more prosecutors, there are sufficient prison places, and also that the courts stand ready. In Sunderland, where violence hit a peak on Friday, four officers had to be hospitalized and 10 rioters were arrested. Further demonstrations are planned for Sunday. Yes, sound familiar? Oh yes, there were cops heard at the January 6 riot. Yeah, yeah, it's a very familiar script this. Of course, it's not what Keir Stormer wanted as his first issue to deal with as the new prime minister. So there is a political aspect to this.

So he had to come out and he had to talk. They had some kind of meeting, like some some homeland security meeting and you have to take into account in the UK, if you post something on social media that hurts someone else's feelings, you will get a visit from the police and you can get arrested for just saying, hey, you know, you, you tranny. It's not a nice thing to do, but you know, it's like, but in America, at least you can say it. If you want, you can go, you do your Macedon vibe. You can do that. But in the UK, no, you get arrested.

So they have to, we got to take measures. This was a meeting to pull together our response, response both to the immediate challenge, which is clearly driven by far-right hatred but also to all violent disorder that flares up, whatever the apparent cause or motivation. We make no distinction. Crime is crime. And so to that end, I can announce today that following this meeting, we will establish a national capability across police forces to tackle violent disorder. These thugs are mobile.

They move from community to community. And we must have a policing response that can do the same. Share intelligence. Wider deployment. Sorry? It says a national police force. Oh yeah, they can do the same. Mobile, Muran.

They've been wanting to do that here forever. The left has been wanting to create a national... I mean they try to make the FBI into it, but they can't do it. They had a meeting, so what's happening? And we must have a policing response that can do the same. Shared intelligence, wider deployment of facial recognition technology, and preventative action, criminal behavior orders to restrict their movements. Re-crime!

Behavioral, what do you say, what was the term he used here? Re-crime! Behavioral, what do you say, what was the term he used here? Re-crime! Re-crime! Re-crime! Re-crime! Re-crime! Re-crime! Re-crime! Re-crime! Re-crime! recognition technology and preventative action, criminal behavior orders to restrict their movements.

Criminal behavior orders. Yes, with preventative action. So you look, you're kind of, you're posting some criminal things there online. We're going to have to restrict your movement, son. Before they could even board a train. Oh, China. Social score. Yeah, China. China. Social score. Yeah, China, China. Before they could even board a train in just the same way that we do with football hooligans. And let me also say to large social media companies, and those who run them, Elon violent disorder, clearly whipped up online. That is also

a crime. It's happening on your premises. And the law must be upheld everywhere. That is the single most important duty of government. Service rests on security. And we will take all necessary action to keep our streets safe. Wait a minute, what did he say was the most important action of government? Violent disorder clearly whipped up online.

That is also a crime. It's happening on your premises and the law must be upheld everywhere. That is the single most important duty of government. Is that it? The law must be upheld everywhere. That is the most single important duty of government. Is that it? The law must be upheld everywhere. That is the most single important duty of government. So, shut down social media because that's a problem. And there's an advisor to Starmor and he tries to walk it back a little bit, but he's very clear what he's saying here.

Now, I believe Lord Warney is with us now. Lovely to see you this morning. It's been a very busy week, particularly on your patch and issues that you're interested in, John, because I mean, we've been seeing Britain go up in flames. You've said something interesting in a previous interview, and I just want to question you on it. You've sort of suggested that we might want to reintroduce COVID measures to deal with that. Does that what you mean? Or have you been misconstrued slightly? Explain what you mean. No, and I'm glad you've asked me about this Camilla. No, not at all. The point I was making is that at points of national emergency the British public, such as we had in Covid, the British

public have shown that they are prepared to accept different and unusual approaches. And I think that in that context, if greater powers are needed for the police to be able to crack down on the troublemakers who are inciting these and inflaming these riots, I think there would be broad support for that. I think some of the people who never wanted lockdown in the first place, and they cross about it, have sort of, have been sponsored either deliberately or unintentionally, what I was saying. So thanks for giving me the chance to make that clear. Yeah, I don't think you were talking about people wearing a mask, bro.

Obviously, lockdowns lock people in their homes. And the British people, they are willing to take these extreme measures. They're willing. They're willing to take it. Well, we shall see. We shall see how the brothers do up there up north. I don't think so. I think they've had it.

I do predict that we'll see some immigrant hotel get set on fire in the UK. It's going to be bad. Yeah, probably. Yeah. And on that happy note, I'd like to thank you for your courage. That's a great way to go into it. I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in, Cackling Kamala. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMore! In the morning to our trolls in the troll room.

And I'm sure you didn't post. Did you post something? I only had to post in there for. Exactly. So I think you can be a troll and be in there, but you can't troll. So you're actually sub troll. You're a non troll. No, you're lower than troll.

I mean, that's bad. Lower than troll. I mean, that's bad, lower than troll. As you can understand, just listening to even GB News who have a commercial model, they have commercials, there's no way we could live by a commercial system because the stuff that we're talking about, we bring you therapy for your conspiracy theories. We try to help you understand what's going on in your world, which means sometimes we gotta talk stuff that just won't pass on, won't pass in GARM regulations. If you know what GARM is, look it up, G-A-R-M.

No way. So we decided early on, almost 17 years ago. What's GARM? GARM is the rating agency. You haven't heard of GARM? No. Oh, GARM is the rating agency. Oh, you haven't heard of GARM? No. Oh, GARM is amazing. GARM stands for, let me see.

It's the, well, they are the World Federation of Advertisers. GARM stands for Global Alliance for Responsible Media. You see. So GARM is a cross-industry initiative established in 2019 by the World Federation of Advertisers How can you not be a member? To help the industry address the challenge of illegal or harmful content on digital media platforms and its monetization via advertising. This was set up after the Church Christ shooting when the killer live streamed his attack.

That was their trigger. X. Christ Church? Yeah, in New Zealand. Yeah, Christ Church. You said Church Christ. Did I say that? I meant Christ Church.

Did I say Church Christ? That's weird. Yeah, you did. Christ Church. Well, Christchurch. You said Church Christ. Did I say that? I meant Christchurch. Did I say Church Christ? That's weird. Yeah, you did. Christchurch. Well, I'm dyslexic. X is now a member of GARM because the advertisers, they're so incestuous. The advertisers don't really want any risk, certainly not the agencies that buy the media. So, you know, so, you know, the agency, well, yes, we follow the GARM guidelines, so your content will always be safe. It won't show up next to a bunch of horrible podcasters or anything.

You want to hear their strategic partners of GARM? Yeah, I'd like to hear this. This is all news to, I don't know how I'd I missed this. I understand that I'm a podcaster. I think I'd know this. I'm sure we've played something about GARM. I'm sure we have. Maybe not. Maybe not. It's the big agencies, obviously. Let me see our leadership. I think it's... Okay.

Is Himmler on there? No, we have the World Federation of Advertisers, Treasurer and CEO. We have the actual CEO of the World Federation of Advertisers. We have the President of MasterCard is in here. We have the chief marketing consumer and marketing officer of International Foods for PepsiCo. These are pretty big advertisers. We have the global chief marketing officer of Nestle. We have the chief communications, institutional relations officer Bank of America. So far all I'm hearing is globalists. Well, yes, that is correct.

Global category leader, marketing and services, IBM. Wreck-It, Wreck-It another huge advertiser, Unilever, Diageo, there's your drink guy, the Mars Corporation, L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Danone for your dairy products. Do you see why you're not gonna get any advertising? These are the advertisers. So they're all in on this and boy they must have some great cocktail parties. You imagine? Caviar, piles, piles of caviar, and those shrimp deals where you got a big bowl of ice

and a bunch of shrimp. Yeah, how about a chocolate fountain? One of those, huh? A chocolate, yes, that would be the, yeah, you have to have that for sure. A chocolate fountain, beautiful. So instead of that, we decided to go with a value for value model.

Yeah, we don't get to go to these parties. We don't know. I haven't seen a shrimp cascade with a big giant thing of ice and all these shrimp. I'd say for 10 years. I started doing this show actually. It was almost 20 years. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't even, we didn't even have a media. You're welcome. Enjoy. Yeah. So, we decided to go with Value for Value, which is, it's really simple. We put the show out, we put the show, all our shows out from day one, copy it.

At least we live as honest men. We do. And we do. We live an honest life. And which means that we can dedicate ourselves, with the value for value model, I mean, we just dedicate, we don't have to do meetings with advertisers. Although it would be nice to see one of those shrimp deals, we don't have to go to that meeting.

Oh yeah, no, we won't use any terms you don't like, Mr. and Mrs. Advertiser. Give us a list. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, there's a list. Believe me, there's multiple lists. So instead, we put the shows out, make them available. I saw that Patreon, now I don't know how accurate these numbers are,

but I was looking at this. Patreon, who by the way also deplatform people, which is why we don't use a Patreon model. You can say something on a whole different platform. I go on the Joe Rogan show and say something that Patreon doesn't like and then they're like, ah, no more donations for you. Yeah, that's unbelievable that anyone would go for that. Well, supposedly in 2023, 40,000, what they call podcasters, I don't know exactly what they consider a podcaster to be,

they paid out $350 million. Wow. That's a lot of money. But you and I don't wanna do Patreon because A, people can't just get it, you have to have a level, You have to subscribe. That's... Oh, it's too limiting. We're broadcasters.

It doesn't... If you know what you're doing, Patreon wouldn't do better than we can do ourselves because both of us have enough skill and experience that you can just duplicate what they do and do it better because you don't have... You're not competing with anybody and you're not on their limited system, which only allows this, this, and that. It doesn't allow the kinds of subscriptions, knighthoods, executive producerships,

all the things that we offer are far above and beyond what Patreon could even come close to accomplishing. And then we're not limited by their rules, which we're not rule followers. We are definitely not rule followers and I don't think our trolls are rule followers either. Well, that's for sure. But the point is that it's a crappy system for anyone who thinks for themselves. Exactly. I'm really surprised. And then the ones that really go along with the program on Patreon or the oh we got special content

If you join the page You get to see the show ahead of time you get to see something I wouldn't give to anybody else because I'm just giving it to you. This is bullcrap So instead we just put the show out there and we say hey Did you get any value from this send it back to us? You can do it in many, talent, treasure. We love our producers who give us boots on the ground that is very valuable. We love people who run websites, set up websites, do all kinds of things out there for us, people who organize meetups. We also need treasure, time, talent, treasure. We need that as well. And people who can't participate in any other way, even people who do. I would say some of our biggest and most frequent supporters, let's put it that way,

are people who already do other things. They understand the trifecta. It's not if and or, it's whatever you can do. It's and. It's and. It's whatever you can do. So capitalist agenda is obviously, his name is right in the name. He's a Dutch master. And he is

one of our artists who uploads artwork to no agenda art generator.com another fine piece of machinery that Sir Paul Couture put and he's a sir. Why is he a sir? Because he's a knight, because he supported us with treasure. But he also supports us with his time and his talent, upgrades us. We've been through 15 years of the server with this guy. We love him for it. And Capital Agenda, Capitalist Agenda took advantage of that system and uploaded what we thought was just a dynamite piece of artwork, which we value very much because art, especially when put out online, it attracts people, it says something about the show, you look at it like,

oh man, what are these guys doing now? And when it comes to spoof package shots, and the no agenda artists are the best. So episode 1682, we titled that natalism, just because the word neither was it heard of before, and we liked it. I've heard of it, but I didn't know the definition off the top of my head, so it doesn't count. And Capless Agenda put together Camelous Crackers. Not an international product necessarily, because Animal Crackers is a very US centric product, but it was the exact look and feel of the Animal Crackers box, except it had Camelas Cracker Boys behind bars, which

made it even funnier. Trey Lockerbieko White dudes for Camelas. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah, by the way, the impetus for that, because I said they should have called it Crack Kamala. That was a troll room suggestion. This is all on you guys. You really put this together and I love it when it comes together like that. Just looking at the details of this art, it's so good, including of course net weight, 33 ounces. Instead of Nabisco up in the corner, it says Gitmo. It could not get any better. We were unanimous in this decision, I think right off the bat.

Well, yeah, you actually had come back from the bathroom. Yeah, I typically need to pee. And you asked me, I don't know, sometimes you do this. You say, what's good? And I said, there's only one. And I looked. And you took the same look at it I did, and you get, oh. Yeah. There was no, we actually were remiss in discussing the other art.

I can't say that we can have criticism of the other art. There was good art there. I mean, I think there's always something that could have been selected, but it was that quick. It was like Insta, Instapick. Instapick, yes. Just looking through it, there's no, it's obvious why it was an Instapick. It was this, wasn't that Camel with an Afro?

No. Are you an American? Yeah. Actually, comic strip blogger had a weird AI generated thing, which was kind of funny. I like Darren O'Neill's weird, weird, weird, weird. That was all right. Um, but yeah, uh, more Olympic stuff, Olympic cock rings. Okay.

No, no. So obvious. Uh, it was just dynamite. I think, I think all the artists, and you can see that after that got uploaded, everyone gave up Okay, no, that's it we're just that does happen once in a while because the artists will go and check out before they submit or Before they even start designing They'll look I've seen this happen before where you we normally get about 20 pieces in and maybe sometimes 30 and

Then sometimes when a zinger goes in there that's just so good, you in it with 10 pieces. Yeah, by the way, it was Warplotus, I think, who came up with Crackers for Camelot. So just come credit where credit is due. That's how it works. You're producers. Even trolls can be producers.

Now we'd like to thank the executive and associate executive producers of episode 1683. This is like Hollywood. This is another thing you don't get on. Try and take your Patreon donation and opening up an IMDB account. No. You can't do it. But when you have an executive or associate executive producer title from the No Agenda show, you can. Now, we don't need everybody to do this. We would prefer that everybody who listens took out a sustaining donation, which is something that's a regular basis that is any amount that you want.

All amounts are whatever you want, basically. And we like the numerology that pops up from time to time. But we will read the note and give the title of associate executive producer to anyone, $200 and above, $300 and above, an executive producer, and we will read your note. And we kick it off right off the bat with John Jones, I'm sorry, with Sir Eternus Quivi. Quivi? How do I say it? I don't know. Well, he became a knight on the last show. I like you struggling. Yes, Sir Eternus Cuihevi. You even told me what it meant.

I probably did. You deconstructed the Latin. Sir Eternus Cuihevi from Santa Fe, New Mexico comes in with $600. Top executive producer. No note. This is what's crazy. No note. Please send us your notes or return us.

And in the meantime, a double up karma for you. You've got karma. Now we follow it up with another NoNote guy, John Jones in Georgetown, Texas. Wow.

333.50. And that came, that's a Stripe donation. I have no idea what the, what he has to say so we'll expect a note from him maybe soon, someday or not. Until then, double up karma. You've got karma. Then we move to… By the way, I should mention mention people don't have to send in

notes. No, it's not necessary, but it's nice if you just say, no, no, we're NJNK or NJNJK, whatever. Sir Scotland, the brave, Aberdure, Aberdure, Aberdure, Aberdure, Fife, Great Britain. It's on fire over there. 333.33. All right, all right then gentlemen from Scotland, forgive me pod fathers for I've been busy and have not supported the best podcast in the universe for a year.

Please deduce. You've been deduced. Don't really need it. But if you feel like you need it, I'm happy to do it. I have found my exit strategy and so I am retiring from the parish ministry in the Kirk. I would rather say I'm refiring than retiring because I am off for bigger fish, turning my energy from parish ministry to national ministry in this, my land of Scotland. I speak for many when I say how no agenda has not only helped me laugh in hard times, like when it ended up in hospital from the clogged scene, the clogged

scene, AstraZeneca, the health karma worked, he says, but also your deconstruction of the news has helped me make sense of the times we are in, making us all better in our roles. In my case, the shepherd of the flock. So thank you John and Adam for your shepherding of the Gitmo Nation. We couldn't do it without you. Please could I have some retirement karma? We thank God for the best podcast in the universe. Sir Scotland the Brave, he says, I'm off. I'm going fishing for salmon. Will you bet? Thank you, good sir. You've got karma. Good. send us some salmon. We like salmon.

Send us one of those shrimp deals. That's a nice fatty salmon, that area. Yeah, well, Scottish salmon is the best. I think Scottish smoked Scottish salmon is the best in the world. Would you agree? Which brings me to the smoked salmon you get from the Pacific Northwest.

Wait, is this a story? Which, it's not a story. Okay. Uh, well it might be, but it's not. No, no, no. So, um, people love the salmon from Pacific Northwest, but it's because of the Pacific Northwest version of the wood that they use to smoke it. Alder. They use alder. We have a growing, it's a weed, it's considered a weed, but it's a big thick weed. It's like four

inches in diameter or bigger. And it's, and that alder, which is different than the one we have down here, is so delicious. It's one of the great woods of the world. I didn't know it was the wood. Well, the Scottish salmon is just the salmon. It's not as smoky with the same flavor of wood. So just saying. I'm just saying. Alderwood, if you like the barbecue, get some. I like my salmon with one of those shrimp deals.

That's the best. Sir Quirky in Finland shrimp deals, that's the best. Sir Quirky in Finland. Well, that's nice. ITM, Sir Quirky here. I'd like to be an executive producer of the Sunday show you are, 33333, because the number, the year 1683 is significant to me. Interesting. I'd like to hear the classic jingle,

Resist We Much, along with some potent business karma. Please, thank you. I'm wondering, he wants the Resist We Much jingle. Hold on. There is a jingle that actually resists We Much.

I just had the regular...oh yeah, here, this is a songlet. That's not it Hmm But I don't think he I think maybe it was to resist we much we much we much whatever he goes on I just a regular straight-up resist. We might he wants to straight up.

All right, let me make that switcheroo right now so we don't

Oh yeah, yeah, it's the hair and hookers index. Fortunately he's going back to work in about a week. I was hoping you could provide him with some job karma. Thanks for what you do.

He's also a very good dad and husband. He lives four hours away, but calls me just as often, often, just to see how I'm doing. This donation is an installment toward his knighthood. I'm more than halfway there. Uh-oh.

Uh, jingles, biscuit for my birthday and a good karma because it's his son Carter's favorite. Keep up the deconstruction, Dame Toni, healths of the northern Cowtown pickleball region. They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. You've got karma. Is that also a Marxist thing she said there? Our girl Kamala? A biscuit on my birthday?

Spring Branch, Texas, $200. And the long note. Let me take a look at it. It's my turn to read it. So what does Rob say? Oh, it's an official, it's like an official memo. Is this, this is memo from his law firm. Look at it.

Oh, it's his kind of, there are some issues with the formatting. Well, he has, everything he does has to be done in word perfect. So, you know, it's legal. I see Adam and John. Today I bring up legal news to Gitmo Nation. I suspect that many of you producers own small businesses. Oh, he's giving some value everybody. There we go. Take a listen. I also wager that most of them don't know about the Corporate Transparency Act, also known as

CRAP, oh no, CTA. But if you own a business that was formed through some kind of governmental filing or registration like LLC, S-Corp, PC, LPs, etc., your little business is probably affected. So listen up. This is a, he's giving us talent and treasure. By December 31st, 2024, that's this year, possibly earlier for some, anyone who has a significant stake in one of these companies must file a beneficial ownership Report with the Treasury Department's financial crimes enforcement network also known as FinCEN That's right

Your government wants to know all about you and your private business holdings purportedly to deter and detect money laundering Eli Eli, listen up Eli the coffee guy. Don't be money laundering that coffee dough and if you don't file your report before the deadline you're subject to a fine of $500 per day and possibly up to two years in prison. The desired reports aren't detailed so don't wait around and risk blowing the deadline. Texas and California producers can check out my firm and me at rob.lawyer. Oh that's a cool domain name. Rob.lawyer. Yes that's me at rob.lawyer. Oh, that's a cool domain name. Rob.lawyer. Yes, that's the URL rob.lawyer.

Enclose the check for $200. That's very nice of you. And I respectfully request, open up Adam Curry Karma to keep the feds at a safe distance. Sincerely, Rob Carty, rob.lawyer. Mr. Adam Curry. Open the door, Mrs. Curry. Now! Thank you, Rob. Rob. Well, I was unfamiliar with this. Oh, really? Oh, you knew about it?

I did. Yeah. Because my pal, Dave Jones works at an accountancy firm, so yes. And we have an LLC. So he's like, oh dude, we got to do this. Yes. So we have to do this so we don't go to jail.

Where's the forms? I don't go to jail. Where's the forms? I don't know. Where do you get the forms? There's got to be a form. Yes, from IRS.gov, I'm sure. Well, You're sure you don't know. No, rob.lawyer will put it on his website. I hope so. Yes.

Well, I'm distressed. It's very distressful because they, you know. No, I'm distressed because I didn't know about it. Oh. So this is one of those things that nobody tells you anything. If it wasn't for Rob here, I wouldn't have known. You know why? You never said anything.

Well, you know why? It's because you're too busy watching four hour YouTube videos, which you send to me. Like, oh, this is an interesting series. I'm not going to watch a four hour YouTube video. No, not from you, not from anybody. Oh, you missed out. Yeah, sure. Linda Lu Patkins up.

She's in Lakewood, Colorado, and she wants jobs karma. She came in with $200. For competitive edge, she writes, go to imagemakersinc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs. That's imagemakersinc.com and work with the proud, no agenda producer, Linda Lue, the Duchess of jobs and writer of resumes. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

And our final associate executive producer is Mark Bleyfeld. Sounds very Dutch to me, but lives in Hadam, Connecticut. Even Hadam doesn't sound very Connecticut-y. And Mark says, sounds like a Muslim enclave. And Mark sends us 200 and says, thanks. And we thank you as do we thank all of our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1683. Remember, we thank everybody above $50 not below

because that is usually sent in for reasons of anonymity and we do have people who have those sustaining donations we appreciate you very much. Those people also get tonight who you could too go to noagentadonations.com and thank you again to our executive associate executive producers for 1683. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah! What up? What up? Shut up, slay! Shut up, slay! Ah!

You'd think the local news or somebody would report to us about this issue with the LLC requirement that you send a document to the Treasury Department out of the blue this year? Well, okay. So that is why we are the best podcast in the universe because we have producers who will gladly pay to get this mentioned on the show. To help. What if it wasn't for him? Well, we'd all be in jail together.

It's unbelievable. They're not gonna get everyone to feel, they're obviously not gonna be able to do this. They're gonna use it to intimidate little dry cleaners and little small businesses. And podcasters. There's probably a lot of podcasters that are LLCs. Of course.

And they probably, and probably go through Patreon. And Patreon's not going to tell them anything. No, probably not. I just find it irks them that this sort of thing just crops up out of the blue like this. This is your Biden administration. I'd like to drop down to the hair and hookers report for a moment with some big tech news. As it looks like we're getting closer and closer to the bubble popping. That is the AI bubble. It's a bubble.

It's a bubble. And I'm, it's not just me. Now Elliott management. Wait, aren't those the guys who, uh, Elliott management, didn't they? Aren't they like an activist bunch of guys? I never heard of them. I thought Elliott Management got a board seat on some company. I think so.

Elliott Management said the technology mega caps such as Nvidia are in bubble land. And that the hedge fund is, he said they're hedge fund, skeptical that these companies will continue to purchase Nvidia chips and graphic processing units in such huge volumes. Elliott said that many AI applications are not ready for prime time and that many of the expected uses are quote never going to be cost efficient, never going to actually work right and that they will take up too much energy or prove to be untrustworthy. Yeah, I think that's true. I'm on board with Elliot. I think they're absolutely right. And well, I got a quick clip here. The chip sector, it's been bad all around. We now know how many employees Intel plans to cut in 2025.

Today, the Hillsborough based company announced that they are laying off 15% of their workforce as part of a $10 billion cost reduction strategy. That's more than 15,000 roles that could be on the chopping block next year. This comes as the company reports a 1% decrease in their second quarter revenue compared to last year. Intel currently employs about 120,000 people. It's one of the biggest employers in the state of Oregon. No, that's not so good.

Well, wait a minute, it's a Santa Clara company. When did it become a Hillsboro company? I don't know. That's your Oregon news organization. I don't know. Logitech coming out with a new mouse, John. You know, it reminds me. So I was using the very shoddy, I have to agree with our producers, the shoddy, I have to agree with our producers, the shoddy AliExpress. Yes, the Amazon killer. But they do have a mouse on it.

I bought one of these things, the exact same product from Amazon about five, six years ago, and it was $11 mouse, which is the one I'm using on this machine right now. And the AliExpress had the same exact mouse, exactly the same. I bought one for five bucks. Unless you can beat these prices,

your new Logitech mouse is out the window. This is a terrific product. Oh really? What model is it? I don't know. It's just some sort of a screwy mouse. It's got a built-in battery, so you have to, you can recharge it with a USB port, you know, to put batteries in it. Like, and it does every, it's a killer, it's a killer mouse. It's just dynamite. Well this new Logitech mouse, which is the signature AI edition, ships with a dedicated button to launch a chat GPT powered app. And you have to pay a subscription to your mouse.

They should pay you for this mouse. I agree. I agree. Google had to pull their AI ad, which they had scheduled for the Olympics. And the reason why, the ad was titled Dear Sydney, and it showed a girl's dad prompting the AI chat bot, because that's all that AI does is chat bot. And no agenda art, prompting the AI Chatbot to help write a letter to her favorite athlete, US hurdler and sprinter, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. And so people got very mad at this because the payoff line was Gemini, help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney how inspiring she is. Well, people started sending letters of protest saying,

I don't want some AI doing this work. I want my child to actually be inspired and write to these athletes about how inspiring they are. That shouldn't be Google's job. So they pulled the ad. People were not happy. Good. I agree. I agree. Absolutely. And then the absolute, this is, this is actually probably, actually, probably, wow, listen to me. This is probably, actually, actually one of the best AI products ever developed. It's also the most horrible, but it only costs a couple million bucks for this guy to put it together. It's not out yet. And I'll give you the visual. It's a lanyard that you put around your neck and

it has a little plastic, like an amulet on it, and you talk to the amulet, you press on it, so it's like a rubber, almost, you know what it resembles. What was that little thing you used to do, float around with it, you make your friends, and if you were near somebody else that had one. A Tamagotchi. A Tamagotchi, and you had somebody next to you,

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep, somebody's next to you. That was the Furby, that was the Furby did that. Well that the noise was the Furby noise. Yes, but this other thing did make some sense. Did the Tamagotchis interact with each other? Far as I remember, if I'm thinking about it, yes, if you're in range of another Tamagotchi that somebody else was wearing, you would now be friends. So it's it what this really resembles have you ever seen a gear lever in an aircraft? Yeah, of course. And it has a round kind of rubber thing on it.

Yeah, I've been in a simulator and dropped one of those. Which is intentional because then you don't you know, you grab that lever, you know, immediately that's my gear. That's that's why flaps is like a flat knob that feels like a flap. So it looks like one of those rubber wheels. You wear it around your neck and then you press it and it doesn't, and so it listens to you. It doesn't respond to you.

It responds to you on your phone with a text message. Listen to the report. I don't know how to move very good. It's the video Silicon Valley is talking about. I know the effects are crazy. A teaser for a wearable product called Friend, which promises to be just that, if you consider AI to be your friend.

You kind of have this feeling of no judgment, and I think that allows you to be a lot more authentic with it. Avi Schiffman, the 21-year-old who created Friend and spent just shy of $2 million for the website Friend.com, describes his product as a good listener. Sorry, I got you messy. The most similar relationship you could attribute it to might be a relationship with God, where

it's this kind of omnipresent, all-knowing entity that you have around you that you can kind of talk to in a silent, no, no private, confident way with no judgment. Not everyone is sold yet. It sounds like it's designed by people that don't know how to make friends. But tech professor Ahmed Banafa, who's tried many AI devices, says this might hit the mark.

It reminds me with the case when you are, you have a very close friend and you feel comfortable saying, you know, some kind of a dumb thing to that friend without worrying that they're going to judge you. The company says the device will cost $99 when it's available, no subscription necessary, and it'll essentially work like this. Put the lanyard around the neck, it'll have a pendant at the end of it. You push a button on the pendant and it will give you encouragement, advice, feedback on whatever it is you've been talking about. Yes, it listens all the time, but the company says it will not store any audio recordings. Schiffman believes it's an example of how AI can help.

You know, I think having an AI friend that will say like, oh, good luck on the interview, will increase your productivity far more than it reminding you that it's in five minutes. In fact, after we spoke, he sent me this text from his friend named Emily, saying that he nailed the interview. Ugh. His friend's named Emily, hello.

So I think there's product opportunities. Yeah, go ahead. I think it's a good idea, by the way. Me too. And I'll tell you why. We had a conversation at the dinner table and JC had some stats about how different generational groups have less and less friends to the Z group,

the Zeds, the Zeros, whatever you wanna call them. The Zoomers. The Zoomers, they pretty much have zero friends. They have like, their average number of friends outside, besides outside the family is one. Yes. Well, you go to the millennials, it's like four or five, and you go to everything else is a little higher,

at least it's that many, but it's not one. I think there's some real exit strategy opportunities for us here. First of all, I think it'd be great just to have an AI called God. He said it, well, it's like having God with you all the time. Okay, good. You can do that. Or how about your real friend, which is Adam and John? And we're not going to, we're not going to be real friends.

You look like crap. Your butt looks big. Tuck your shirt in. Show up on time. Get off my lawn. So a nagging duo. Real, real friends, real friends, friends. Real friends do. Who really care about you.

It's like, no, the essay sucks. Get off chat, get off Twitter. Yeah, get up. Get out of bed. Get up. Get out of bed. That's what you want. Nah.

I agree. I think it's a good idea. It's so simple and it's just another chatbot. That's the only thing AI is good at, except for no agenda art. No agenda art, chatbots, and maybe some of those ads I'm seeing run for Kamala Harris on the Olympics. That doesn't sound like her. It sounds like they might've sampled her and have a bot doing it. I don't know. It's just, just my feeling. I do like the samples. I like the phony voices and the humor you can create with them.

The video is not as good as the, as the voice itself. Of course this is vaporware. There's no product yet, but we could do that. We could do a vaporware version of it. Oh, that's the way to go. You're no agenda real friend amulet. We should just call it an amulet. The amulet. The amulet. There you go.

I have a, yes, please. I want to talk, get Venezuela out of the way. So these clips are from the last show. Yeah. Can we, well, let's talk about it when you're done, because I, I, I'm curious what your thoughts are on this. Well, let's play, I got both NTD and NPR.

I would like to play the two-parter from NTD, Venezuela 1 and 2. Venezuela socialist president Nicolas Maduro ordered military and police to patrol across the country starting Wednesday. Protests continue inside Venezuela as many claim the incumbent government committed election fraud to stay in power. A rights group says at least 16 people have been killed in the protests so far. Venezuelan authorities say nearly 750 people have been arrested. And Maduro now also wants opposition leaders to be arrested, blaming them for the protests

against his leadership. We have held back. We will uncover and capture them all, and we will be victorious, once again victorious. The opposition says its candidate Edmundo Gonzalez had more than twice as many votes as Maduro, based on 90% of vote tallies. This would mean the end of 25 years of socialist rule in Venezuela. With these numbers, we will begin the reconstruction of Venezuela hand in hand with all of you. International support for the opposition is now mounting. Peru says it recognizes González

as the actual president-elect. And Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica and Uruguay say they don't recognize the results of the election. In Florida, Senator Rick Scott is calling on Biden to do the same and recognize Gonzales as the actual president-elect. Republican Senator John Hoeven told NTD he's in favor of Senator Scott's demands. Senator Scott's right. I mean, it's a sham election. It's ridiculous. Maduro doesn't hold free and open elections. It's ludicrous and everybody knows it and we should speak out against it." The White House on Wednesday was asked if it recognizes Gonzalez as the actual president-elect. We want to see the full tabulated data from the polling places. We want to see something

that can be verifiable. The State Department on Wednesday said its patience for Maduro is running out, citing new independent reports. Venezuela's 2024 presidential election did not meet international standards of electoral integrity and cannot be considered democratic. Wow, amazing. Amazing. You know, they use smartmatic machines.

So it's quite interesting that in this case, the Biden administration like, no, this rig, this is no good, this can't possibly be right. What I find weird, weird is the fact that he did these elections thinking he could win. Well, I think he's smoking his own dope. Hello, Kamala. Let's play part two. The Organization of American States, or OAS, held a meeting today to address the results of the Venezuelan election. And today's Washington correspondent, Luis Martinez, has more on this story. The governments of 11 countries in the region requested the OAS to have a special meeting of their permanent counsel here in Washington Washington D.C. to discuss the electoral process in Venezuela. The OAS is a multilateral regional body dedicated

to human rights, electoral oversight, and economic and human development. We want the authorities in Venezuela to publish the results with transparencies. We want to encourage the protection of all the opposition figures. We want the Venezuelan authorities to respect the institution of asylum. And also we want to see if the contrasts continue, some independence organizations to make an auditing of the results of the Venezuelan elections. It's important to note that in 2019, the OAS, the United States, and 50 other countries

in the world moved to recognize the then opposition leader, Juan Guaido, as the legitimate president of Venezuela until 2023, when the Venezuelan opposition dissolved the interim government. Well, the expectation that we have is that Edmundo Gonzalez should be recognized as the president elected of Venezuela. This is something that is not imposed.

It was the will of the vast majority of Venezuelans to the point that Edmundo Gonzalez has achieved the biggest margin in a presidential election in the history of Venezuela. So of course, your No Agenda show has a boots on the ground report. Remember Guido? Yeah, Guido. Yeah, I remember that guy. He looked like Obama. Yeah, of course. Yeah, he's an Obama clone. Jose Carrasquero writes in, says, my dad is a Venezuelan PhD in political science, professor, expert on political campaigns, and political commentator. And he sent me some links, which are unusable for the show.

The situation in Venezuela is dire. The National Electoral Council has announced Maduro won 52% against 44 of the top opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urtea. Machado's team was able to secure over 24,500 voting machine receipts, each verified, certified, and signed by six different citizens, a president, a secretary, a member, two witnesses, and the operator of the polling machine. These polling machine receipts were scanned and uploaded to this website. Link attached.

Machado secured 81% of all polling machine receipts with the help of many citizens and witnesses. The receipts show Gonzales Urtea more than doubles Maduro in votes. Even if you give Maduro all the remaining votes, he doesn't have enough to claim a victory. And so Jose sent this in as, and he, and I guess Bobby the op was kind of cagey about all this, didn't really just say, hey, this is obvious scam. I don't know what he has to do with it. Bobby the OPP has been tweeting about it. Well, here's the last clip I have, which is from NPR, which is a slightly softer analysis.

Of course, yes. One of the few international observers allowed in to monitor Venezuela's contested presidential elections says that contest was anything but fair and free. Incumbent leader Nicolas Maduro was declared winner of Sunday's presidential election in a race that the opposition says it won. NPR's Kerry Kahn reports. The Atlantic-based Carter Center says the contest did not meet international standards and cannot be considered democratic. Invited to observe the electoral process by the government, the election observers listed

numerous violations committed by Venezuela's electoral council, which is packed with Maduro loyalists. Among them favored media coverage and harassment of opposition candidates. The center blasted authorities for its total lack of transparency. The council has refused to make public voter tally sheets that according to Venezuelan law should be publicized. Opponents of Maduro say they have the tally sheets for more than 80% of precincts and it shows candidate Edmundo Gonzalez overwhelmingly won.

I met two people from Venezuela at the Citizens Defending Freedom Conference at that dinner. And one is a harpist. I think he may be a famous harpist. And they're very, very nice people. I said, we are here. I'm doing their accent. We are here because we want to warn everybody that this does not happen to America what happened in Venezuela.

Now they're really, they're going everywhere. They're all over. They said, we're going through Texas. We're talking to anybody playing the harp, letting everybody know you do not want this to happen in America. That's why we came to America. And I felt good about that. This camera is no good.

Didn't say that, but it could have. Well, she's the socialist and she's the one who did that. Uh, I think you should not travel. Certainly not to Southern California. Surely you know why. No, I don't know why. COVID on the rise, baby! From tourists...

It went so up so high. Six vaccinations every time they come out with a new one. I always get it. I just think it's better to be safe than sorry. People out in Hollywood on Friday afternoon say they're being more cautious. I have a mask with me right now. I just started carrying them again. Like so. mask with me right now. Just started carrying them again.

Anthony Johnson says he started masking up again after seeing elected officials contracting the virus. President Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 bid for reelection while self-isolating in Delaware. Mayor Bass tested positive for COVID-19 in late June, the start of some of the worst numbers Los Angeles has seen in two years. The number of reported COVID cases doubling in just the last four weeks, according to new data from the L.A. County Department of Public Health. The levels of COVID in wastewater has also nearly doubled since last winter's peak. And for more, the Department of Epidemiology at UCLA says this number is more concerning. Because it's really telling you on a population level, what are we seeing?

Are you not relying on people going in, testing, reporting symptoms? While hospitalizations have also doubled, COVID deaths remain stable. From what? Still, Ramoyne says people should get a refresher on COVID symptoms. You have symptoms, cough, cold symptoms, congestion, runny nose. And avoid contact with children, the elderly or women who are pregnant. While hand sanitizing is still a great way to prevent the virus. Yeah, because everywhere you touch something.

Ramoyan says masks are still the top favorite. Masks! I think that the masks are the most effective way of reducing spread of the virus. Now health officials also warn everybody that school is right around the corner, so it's important to do what you can now to stay healthy to avoid any sort of bigger potential peak problem this fall. So Los Angeles still all in on the masking. Everybody's masking. Have you noticed if you see any B-roll of Democrat operatives working anywhere, they're all masked up. You look at the, you know, Kamala for president people, they're all masked up. Everyone's, everyone, they're showing us who

they are again. It's crazy. Yeah, criminals. The criminals. Yeah, it's sort of a mask. You wear a mask if you're a criminal. It's so sad. Five countries in Europe. Let me see which one. By the way, they went on and on and on and on about the doubling.

If it goes from one to two. That's doubling, yes. That's doubling. If it goes from two to four, that's doubling. Is it going from one to two or two to four? Is it going from five thousand to ten thousand? They never say. Well, why would you?

This is a bogus report. This is just to get you to wear a mask. You silly man. Mask your kids. Choke them. Belgium, Germany, Greece, Latvia and Portugal are going to test a new vaccination card in a variety of formats,

including printed cards, mailed copies and digital versions for smart cards, smartphones. Yes, beautiful. This is a Boots on the Ground report from our nurse, Jamie. It's not a happy one. So I want to say that we know that many of our producers were forced to keep their jobs by taking a vaccination. We think a lot of them luckily got J and J were luckily who knows, but probably didn't go for more than two, we hope. So I'm saying this with a J and J, you never had to get to it was just to get the one and done, right?

And it wasn't MRNA. So right, you know, it's the de no virus different But but the report I have is rather dire and so I just want to preface that by saying we love you No matter what Nurse Jamie's a lot of people out there. They got this shot. I mean, it's not gonna, it's a percentage game you're playing at that point. Nurse Jamie says. But getting booster after booster after booster, if you're doing that and listening to the show, I think that's a little bit much.

Nurse Jamie says, I wanna give you boots on the ground in healthcare. I've been a nurse for more than 10 years as a float nurse and in administration. The level of turbo cancers we are seeing right now is mind-blowing. So many patients with new diagnosis of cancer and it's always stage four, non-curable, some of them given weeks to live. The common thing I'm noticing is they all have had at least three jabs.

So vaccinated plus a booster if not more. Just this week we had a patient diagnosed with three new cancers. Two different metastatic cancers plus leukemia. This person just happened to be up to date on vaccine status. I have seen overdue for dose 9. So I'm assuming they had all 9. That's up to date. I've never seen anyone diagnosed with two different cancers at the same time, let alone three. The correlation is very clear to me. It's heartbreaking to know these people have been poisoned and have no idea. So I know it's not uplifting, but I felt it was no one else. The media, your legacy media does not talk about this.

Your legacy media doesn't talk about this. They can't. Just take a look at who advertises on legacy media. And what do you think if we had a Patreon? Oh, we'd be kicked off. Exactly. Macy Gray. I know people should have just come to appreciate what we're up to and how we're doing it because

there's no way that this is possible without their help. Correct. Period. Are you familiar with the singer Macy Gray? Yeah, of course. Well she was on the MTV reality show, The Sur surreal life, Villa of Secrets. And she was rushed to the hospital after she had an on-air emergency

because of the side effects of her GLP-1, the article says specifically ozempic. This is another product that we have been talking about This is another product that we have been talking about since the dosage changed from something for diabetics, which I think there's usage in low dosage for diabetics. That's been clear for over a decade. Yeah, it's been around. But how people are using it now to lose weight is just wrong,

particularly those who just want to look better. And the guy who wrote the book, we played clips from him, Johan Hari, when he just wrote the book about, cause he went on GLP One. He looks pretty good by the way I'll say, but he stopped taking it. And here's a quick clip of the most recent interview he did,

which I thought was worth sharing. Obviously, this triggers a huge amount of muscle mass loss. And there's real worries with that, right? If you lose muscle mass, you naturally lose muscle mass from when you're 30 onwards anyway. You lose quite a lot every year. It's incredibly depressing when you look at the figures. You lose muscle mass naturally every year anyway.

But if you lose too much muscle mass, you'll be a bit weaker now, but the real risks are when you're older. So if you have really low muscle mass when you're older, you're at risk of a condition called sarcopenia, which is Greek for poverty of the flesh. Basically just means you'll really struggle to climb the stairs, do any kind of physical activity, you're more likely to fall, if you do fall you're more likely to die. It's quite a serious thing and this I think is particularly going to be an issue for people who are already skinny, like the people at that party we were talking about right at the start.

None of them were fat at the start, right? People who are already skinny, who are taking it to be super skinny, they're going to see, they're going to have are taking it to be super skinny, they're gonna see, they're gonna have real issues with their muscle mass likely when they're older. So this is a very serious problem. We could be building up a time bomb of more frail older people further down the line. I believe it. I believe it. We're gonna have a whole generation of people just breaking in half while they're standing in line. So sad. Happy news today on No Agenda. Well, there is good news. There's yet another Ozempic, a new version.

This is even better than the last, new and improved. Ozempic and Wigovy produces an average of 15% loss of body weight over a year. Mungiro causes a loss of 21% on average. And the next one that will come down the line is probably gonna come out next year. Mungiro causes a loss of 21% on average and the next one that will come down the line is probably going to come out next year. Triple G causes 24.2%. The reason Mungiro works differently, so this only works on GLP-1, Mungiro adds another gut hormone, GIP, so it works on two gut hormones, not just one, and Triple G works on three gut hormones, and there's going to be more and more drugs. I mean there's 37 gut hormones that can affect appetite, they think.

So there's going to be lots of variants of these drugs with different side effect profiles, different risks, different benefits. Triple G now, I love it. Triple G is named after a boxer from like about 15 years ago. Well, I think 4G is incoming. I mean, this is, they have 37 Gs. They can go, what you got? I got 35 G.

Oh man, you look great. Good news, good, good news, good news, a good, good news, good news. That concludes your good news segment for today. Talk about Lebanon before we go. Oh, the Lebanon. Yeah. Oh, can I, can I play one quick clip before you talk about the Lebanon?

Sure. Um, let me see. Where is it? Uh, cause we got a lot of, uh, pushback about the smart bomb and there's, you know, there's been some, well, here it is. This is, uh, what did we say about the smart bomb that there's been some, well here it is, this is. What did we say about the smart bomb that would elicit pushback? Because the New York Times came out right away

and said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it was a bomb, it was planted there two months earlier. Oh yes, oh okay, yeah, the fancy bomb, the fancy missile that went through the guy's window is supposedly the I Have the background on this too. Well, I supposedly wasn't that at all. It was bogus It was just somebody bragging unnecessarily and it was actually a bomb that was Planted a month and a half the way I understand I'm not believing that. I just see pretty

it's a sketchy but you know do they have no housekeeping there? The maid that comes in and out of that hotel room never noticed there's a bomb in the room for a month? Well listen to this report. The U.S. announced plans to move a fighter jet squadron to the Middle East and maintain an aircraft carrier in the region amidst growing tensions. The announcement was made after US President Joe Biden said he was very concerned at the prospect of escalating violence in the area. The Secretary will be directing multiple forthcoming force posture moves to bolster force protection for US forces region wide to provide elevated support to the defense of Israel and to ensure

the United States is and to ensure the United States is prepared to respond to this evolving crisis. In terms of what specifics that means, I don't have that for you right now. Hundreds of Palestinians in Beirut held a symbolic funeral for the Hamas leader who had been assassinated in Tehran. In addition to the recent assassination of a Hezbollah commander in Beirut, the region is faced with all-out war. Iran has threatened to respond after the attack on its

territory and Israel has vowed to kill Hamas leaders over the group's October 7th attack on Israel. Now the thing that I couldn't show you here they showed a helicopter, you know those night vision shots of the guy's safe house blowing up. So who was in the helicopter filming it? It had to be the same people who shot from the grassy knoll. While in Tehran, Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in a heinous attack carried out by Israel. So how did this attack happen?

Due to the social media blackout imposed by Iran, we have very few clues. However, TRT World evaluated potential scenarios based on the available information. Whether it was a rocket or drone attack, we know the direction it came from. The attack might have been carried out with a mini drone or rocket launched from the hills overlooking the building.

This possibility seems strong because a drone loaded with RDX explosives could achieve a low flame explosion that leaves this kind of impact. Or it might have been carried out from the north of Tehran by an aircraft carrying a longer range missile. We see that the roof on the side where the attacked room is located is intact. This indicates that the rocket or drone entered directly through the window. Since there are no burn marks at the point where the building was hit, the primary suspect is the US-made RNX Hellfire missile. This weapon, which has a range of 11km, must have been fired from an aircraft to hit the building. Some Western media outlets claim that a remotely controlled explosive device was placed under Hania's bed. Iranian media on the other hand argue that the attack was carried out using a projectile.

And here's Al Jazeera. Breaking news coming out of Iran now where the Revolutionary Guard has released a statement on Hamas leader Ismail Hania's assassination. They say Hamas chief Hania was killed by by firing a short-range projectile with a warhead of about 7 kgs accompanied by a severe explosion from outside his room. We'll have more on that when we get it. So Al Jazeera says it was both. Well, there's some disinformation going around for some reason this is being promoted. It's possible that the first report is the right report, which is one of these hellfires

that goes right into the window and kills you. And it was like, wait a minute, we gave, you know what? We gave you that missile for this purpose, but not, you weren't supposed to tell, brag about it. You were just supposed to shut up. What are we gonna do now? Oh, we'll make up some stories. And so now they have a confusion of stories. One says this, one says that, one says it's a drone,

one says it's a missile. And one thing or after another, and inside a bomb inside, it was there for a month and a half. And so it's possible they're just trying to muddy the waters. And it was what it was to begin with. I think there's reasons for that. Yeah. Do you want to play your Lebanon clips? Yes. We got, so all hell's breaking loose now because they killed another guy. And they're worried sick about Lebanon. I want to play... So all hell's breaking loose now because they killed another guy. And they're worried sick about Lebanon. I want to play. NPR?

Well, yeah, but I have a bunch of different clips and I want to at least get this one out of the way, which is. There will be some redundant information, but let's start with Gaza Update 1. Israel's army says it launched two airstrikes in the West Bank today and killed nine Palestinian militants the attack came as tensions mount over a possible expansion of the Mideast war to include Hezbollah militant forces in Lebanon Israel and Hezbollah have fought twice before but NPR's Greg Myrie who covered both of those conflicts says Hezbollah has a greater advantage this time. Hezbollah's arsenal of rockets supplied by Iran is exponentially larger than before.

Back in 2006, it was estimated to be around 15,000. Now the estimate is 150,000. These are larger, more precise weapons that can reach far deeper into Israel, including Tel Aviv. Ceasefire talks, meanwhile, have resumed in Egypt. The U.S. is beefing up its military presence in the Middle East. It's an effort to defend Israel and protect U.S. troops from possible attacks by Iran and its proxies.

NPR's Julianna Kim reports. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he's sending more fighter jets to the Middle East, as well as more Navy cruisers and destroyers to that region and Europe. The new military measures are in response to growing tensions between Israel and Iran after top leaders from the militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah were killed. On Saturday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard said Iran's retaliation will be, quote, severe, end quote, according to Reuters. Israel vowed to kill Hamas leaders in response to the group's October 7 attack.

The current conflict between Israel and Hamas and the war in Gaza have nearly span 10 months now. It remains to be seen how the recent assassinations will affect ongoing ceasefire talks. We have boots on the ground from the region, which I'd like to share, not too long, from our dude named Mohammed. And he picks up a thread that we started, that you started actually, he says, ITM gents, is it me? Or does it seem that every single powerful Iranian or Iranian proxy figure vanishes unexpectedly?

It seems like someone is systematically getting rid of them. After each assassination there will be a couple of days of colorful rhetoric followed by coordination for a very clean response that doesn't hurt anyone and brightly lit missiles or drones that are intercepted by the Iron Dome so both parties can claim some victory and have some good visuals for their side social media accounts. The Iron Dome showcase is an extra ad break that all parties appreciate. Killing the guy in an Iranian safe house is a little bit too much though. Just like Adam's Iranian friends, a lot of people in this region think the Iranian regime is coordinating every step with the US and Israel.

the Iranian regime is coordinating every step with the U S and Israel. I I'm going to, I'm going to take that. What a great ad for the military industrial complex and move an aircraft carrier, move out boys, move out more money, beautiful ships, big, beautiful ships to protect, to protect our troops. So that was fascinating. Yeah, I agree with that. I was fascinated with this idea there's 150,000 missiles ready to be shot at Israel. Yeah. And so there was an expanded version of Mayuri's, in fact he comes on and reports on this, in this three-parter. This is the Lebanon war.

Are we gonna get into, is this gonna happen again or not? Here we go. Aaron Ross Powell The United States is urging its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country immediately amid growing concerns of a regional conflict in the Middle East. This follows two attacks blamed on Israel this week, which killed leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas and prompted threats of retaliation. Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah have fought two previous wars, one in 1996, the other in 2006. NPR's Greg Meyer recovered both of those conflicts. He was recently reporting from Israel and joins me now. Hey, Greg. Greg Meyer, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR

News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, NPR News, N and then played out? Yeah, there were a number of similarities that still hold true today.

In both conflicts, Israel and Hezbollah were exchanging regular but lower level fire, just like now, before it escalated into a full scale war. Both times Israel thought it would teach Hezbollah a quick and painful lesson, and that fighting in 1996 was quite intense, but Hezbollah held its ground and proved a much tougher opponent than Israel anticipated. I covered that first war from the Lebanese side. The fighting lasted more than two weeks, and then it ended shortly after Israel fired on a Hezbollah position, but missed the mark and hit Lebanese civilians, taking shelter

at a UN compound. More than 100 civilians were killed. This caused international outrage. The fighting stopped. Nothing was resolved. Nothing was resolved. And then another war a decade later in 2006. Wow.

This is a deja vu of epic proportion. It's classic. When I was doing pirate radio in the 80s, this song was like top of the charts, the Human League, the Lemonade, which was in itself a cycle of 1969. This is crazy. It's just a cycle. It's time. Yeah, you know what I mean?

Cycles. Here we go with part two of this. And then another war a decade later in 2006. Yeah, Scott, the dynamics were very similar, though this time the fighting was on a much larger scale. Both sides fired rockets nonstop around the clock. Imagine this rainbow of rockets flying in both directions across the border. And bizarrely, one relatively safe place to be was right on the border beneath this rainbow of rockets flying overhead. So

this time I was on the Israeli side in the border town of Matula for much of the five-week war. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Neither side made any tangible gains. And this war also in a draw. Nat. So we have that context. We have this increased amount of tension and concern right now in 2024. What do you think these two previous wars suggest about what a third war might look like? Dr. Bensky. Well, a third one could be even more destructive. Hezbollah's arsenal of rockets supplied by Iran is exponentially larger than before.

Back in 2006, it was estimated to be around 15,000. Now the estimate is 150,000. These are larger, more precise weapons that can reach far deeper into Israel, including Tel Aviv. I spoke about this with Paul Salem of the Middle East Institute who's based in Beirut. Hezbollah is a very accomplished, very tough, very well-equipped, very well-trained and learns very quickly from war to war. And the 2006 war was proof of what they'd learned from 1996.

And one must imagine that in 2024, you know, they will even be much more capable and more advanced. There is a dynamite phrase in that clip. Did you know, they will even be much more capable and more advanced. There is a dynamite phrase in that clip. Did you catch it? No. The Rainbow of Rockets. Oh, yeah, Rainbow of Rockets. Rainbow of Rockets. That'd be a good show title.

Rainbow of Rockets. I wrote it down. Yeah, Rainbow of Rockets. You know, it almost reminds me of the joke where the guy says, I'm losing money on each watermelon. What do you need to do to fix the problem? Buy more trucks. Which is essentially what they're doing here. What have we learned?

What are we learning? We're such smart learners. We need more rockets. Yeah, that'll do it. So now they've got 150,000 rockets that they're going to launch into Israel. If this thing breaks out, which nobody wants to do. This is where Trump's iron dome gets promoted. We build a beautiful dome.

Yeah, the whole thing. Everything is all interlinked. Mm hmm. It's all connected. Iron dome. So here we go at the end of this with some summary. Doesn't take us anywhere really, but at least it's all interconnected. It's all connected. Iron dome. So here we go at the end of this with some summary. Doesn't take us anywhere really, but at least it's worth knowing. Could the prospect of a clearly very damaging war keep both sides from escalating beyond

what we've seen? Well, that's been the thinking since they started exchanging fire 10 months ago, just after Hamas invaded southern Israel. However, Israel killed this top Hezbollah leader with an airstrike in Beirut on Tuesday. That's raised the prospect that the fighting could escalate. Now, Paul Salem says Hezbollah and its patron, Iran, have made clear they don't want a major war, but they now say that if Israel wants a full-scale fight, they're ready for it. We should note Lebanon faces chronic political and economic problems and a war would be devastating

and Israel is already stretched thin by the war in Gaza. A second front would be a tremendous burden on that country. Salem and other analysts say if Israel can work out a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza, that would almost certainly result in a ceasefire with Hezbollah in the north. That's NPR's Greg Myrie. Greg, thanks so much. Sure.

Thanks, Scott. Sure. Thanks, Scott. Well, I was talking to the oil baron and the shale in the US, the shale oil, I think- Yeah, we got tons. Yeah. But I think it's not the cheapest oil. No. Alberta's got more than we do, I think we get tons. Yeah, but I think the it's not the cheapest oil No, Albert has got more than we do. I think yeah, but you need like 60 bucks a barrel minimum, I think

For sure. That's why the shale all of a sudden when price of oil stabilizes at a high number All of a sudden all the shale oil comes online, right? So let's do they want to drops back to 40, they all shut down. Yes. So let's just say, by the way, the oil baron, I think he buys mature fields. And then, so he turns them on and off whenever he needs to. It's like some great business model.

It's basically- The oil business, if you know what you're doing, you do well. You basically have to buy land, a lot of land. Just got to keep leasing, leasing, leasing. So let's, what has not happened, what even now is like, oil is not skyrocketing in price. It's not happening.

You've been tracking this better than I have, but you know, it gets up 80, 85, I mean, it's not going to 150. We just don't see it. I mean, it's not going to 150. We just don't see it. But isn't it about time art or life imitates art and we sink a ship in the Straits of Hormuz? Isn't that what's really needed? So we just block that whole thing? That would really shoot the oil price up, which everybody wants.

Yeah, they seem to. Yeah. And then the oil baron can pick me up in his jet. For one of the, we'll go fly and get one of those shrimp deals. Yeah, go to Vegas and have some shrimp over ice. You got anything else on Lebanon? Any other good news? Uh, I think that should cover it for now.

anything else on Lebanon? Any other good news? I think that should cover it for now. Good point, Cotton Jean. Whatever happened to peak oil? Whatever happened to that? I don't understand. That's so weird. Peak oil. Another scam that went by the wayside. We wouldn't let him get away with it. No way. We want to thank the rest of our producers $50 and above and we got some cool meetups, meetup reports to play for you so stick around for it.

There she is. She's got a birthday coming up and it's turning 54. It's a belated birthday. Remember that we missed, she sent, you should talk about this because she sent in. She sent in a nasty note. Now it's not belated because the day is the third, isn't it? No, today is the fourth. No, it's the fourth.

Okay, so day after. She sent a note in, I'm gonna, this is a little information for donors She sent an express mail Which is a JIP? Which is a JIP? Since the regular mail does just fine and it comes in at about the same time It doesn't go into a special package there

We the days of air mail at the special air mail stamp from the 1950s and 60s is over. Over. All the stuff goes in the same package. It just gets tracked better. So she got it. It got tracked to Wednesday when I pick up the mail. I pick up the mail on Wednesdays and Saturdays and the mail came in, according to her on the timestamp, it came into my post office at 930. They've already stuffed the mail in the morning into the boxes.

And so anything comes in during the day, just goes, put aside, gets put in the next day. It didn't come until Thursday. So, uh, don't go through the extra expensive express mail unless there's, you know, you got gold coins or something. And even then I wouldn't do it. No. The regular mail works fine. Yeah. It's just, it didn't come in on time and that was... Yeah, she got a little bent out of shape. But then again, she got calmed down when I told the government lied about his survival. It's like, oh, that makes sense.

Government lied, of course. But she wanted to get this birthday in and we've got it. Yes, we got you. We got you. Trevor Spice, Spice or Spice? I think Spice in Clemens, North Carolina. 53-53.

Meetup reports are intended for everyone to give a little shout out when they're at the meetup. It's not necessarily intended to give your view of the universe. Yes, I'm looking at you. Your own podcast. Nathan, I'm looking at you.

He sent a two minute report. It was beautiful. He had some astrology in there and all kinds of beautiful things.

that sometimes things ebb and flow, but overall, what an excellent thing that has happened because of Adam and John's show. Not only do they bring the truth, but they've also brought us together. Can you think of a more, I would say, godly thing? Let that be whatever it means to you. That's important to honor other people's freedom in that way, but they are of the white. All right, sir, Nathan. Thank you very much.

Now, now the uneasy rider meetup. This sounded like a hootenanny. Hello, I am Lady Box, Dame of the Gateway. This has been the best meetup I could possibly imagine. Such beautiful souls all over the place. I'm Samuel. Thank you very much Vox. You're a great person and you're great to shoot ideas off of.

Dame Black Loca. I'm very grateful for Vox for having this awesome meetup. I appreciate all you people for making No Agenda what it is. And we're like newcomers, so we're just like happy to be a part. This year is Boo Barry Mothman and the Mini-Octolers. Tomorrow I turn 33 years old. Woo! I'm Sir Lavish, behind the schemes.

It was awesome seeing all people who should up here. If only every No Agenda meetup could be this great. I'm Mary Kate Ultra and I don't have anything to say other than I love you guys and I'm

so glad to see all of your faces. It's so awesome. In the Hater. In the Grass. The Reverend Dr. Fiverr. BlackLoka handed me my first piece of real value for value. She sent me the legendary Bong Jo. Hello, I am Sir R and I'm here for just the tip.

I am Circus Media, Baron of Bozeman and the Greater Gallatin Valley. Being a part of the No Agenda family, it's just been fantastic. I've met so many wonderful people. I want to recognize all the first No Agenda meetup people. It's really weird when you meet people in the meet space. Hi, I'm Net-Net. Hi, NutNut. I do art and whatnot. Great to see everybody here. Amazing. Somebody needs to edit about 80% of what I say out of this.

I liked it. I liked it a lot. By the way, I love everybody's monikers. You know, all these nicknames they got. Mary Kate Ulltroy, by the way, is a great name. Another great name. That was in Nashville. Thank you so much for the report, guys. And here's a promo for the upcoming Austin, Texas float meet. That's right.

Float the river. Meet up after that on the 13th. Sir Scott, Baron of the Armory and his lovely wife, Christine. This is Baron Scott. And Kieber Christine. It's time again for the fourth annual Central Texas Float Meet set for Saturday, August 17. We will start on the 72 degree spring fed San Marcos River. Then we'll move the party over the Ivers River Pub overlooking the river in the heart of

San Marcos. Go to no agenda meetups for details and to RSVP to both the morning three hour float and the afternoon meetup. Remember, connection is protection. On the river, take me down to the river. So they do it in San Marcos. What? I want to interrupt you for a second with a bonus clip. A bonus clip? It's a five second clip. This is since you brought up the idea of cute nicknames.

Yes. I want to play this clip bad writing. Olympian Simone Biles is living up to her nickname as one of the greatest of all time. What kind of a... That's not her nickname. of all time. What kind of a nickname? Simone Biles who lived up to her nickname of one of the greatest. What kind of a nickname is one of the greatest of all times? That's my nickname. No, that's no Mary Kate Ultra. I'll tell you that. Good bonus clip. There's a meetup taking place today at the vault corner. that is in Blaine, Washington at the Vault Bistro and Wine Bar.

That is just about underway. And tomorrow there will be a meetup and this is the Tenerife meetup. Canary Kaz is doing the meetup in South Beach Playa Sur el Medano Tenerife, Spain. That guy's great. He sends a lot of long notes. Easy for you to say. Coming up, we got Garden City, Idaho on the 10th, Orange Beach, Alabama on the 11th, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Keyport, New Jersey,

Indianapolis, Indiana, Keene, New Hampshire on the 15th, Rockport, Illinois, Charlotte, North Carolina, Bedford, Texas on the 17th, Albany, California on the 17th, San Marcos, Texas. Oh, it's in the 17th, not the, California on the 17th, San Marcos, Texas, oh it's in the 17th, not the 13th. That's the three events float meet you just heard about. The 24th, Northwest Arkansas, the 25th, London, Tulsa, Oklahoma on the 25th, Goleta, California on the 5th of September, the 15th of September, St. Augustine, Florida and Tucson, Arizona

on September 19th. Just a sampling of the meetups you can attend. There's a lot of people trying to do singles meetups, and I'm like, yeah, we've tried dating sites. We've tried, most No Agenda people are happily connected to a partner, and they love bringing their partners, because they're not always all No Agenda listeners,

but once they get a taste of the No Agenda community and meet up they there's no going back. NoAgendaMeetups.com if you can't find one near you start one yourself it's easy and always a party. You wanna be where you want be, triggered or held alame You wanna be where everybody feels the same It's like a party Cheers, which is of course is where the meetups tune comes from. We ultimately chose for Veep and we are now almost done. We're on season two. Holy moly, you can't help. What? What? What? You chose what? Veep. Veep? Veep. You know, all you have to do is just see Kamala Harris in the role of the Vice President Selena and it all makes sense He really does

All right funny It's a good show You don't like it. You just don't like Julia Louis Dreyfus. Here's the hater Okay, how many seasons were there on Veep? I think eight. Oh yay. Yeah, I know. I only have one ISO, so I doubt mine's going to get picked, so I just play it.

Sure. It doesn't help blacks at all. It's kind of out of context. Kind of a racist clip. Yes, yes. All right, what you got? All right, I got three. One of these should be okay.

Let's start at the top with the believe. I believe every word. Oh, I like that one. That's a good one. I believe every word. Every word. I like one. That's a good one. I believe every word. Every word. I like it. I like it. Then we have Biden saying corny. Sounds corny, but it's real. Oof. Tough competition here.

That's a good one. Yeah. And then come back. And we're going to come back and do it again. Ah, it's cut off. It's too bad. It's disqualified. Wow, let me hear these two again, because they're kind of good. Let me see. Let me listen to this again. I believe every word sounds corny, but it's real.

I think we have to go with Biden. Sounds corny, but it's real. That's it. That's good. They're all good as far as I'm concerned. Very good. Everybody, we're time to end the show. But first, Everybody we're time to end the show but first It's never me it's always JCD that's right everybody time for the tip tip of the day John What kind of tip is it another lube? Everybody no more lubes for a while I will this is something some one of our producers sent in and she was moaning about not, she wanted to get off the house filled with Wi-Fi and so she's looking up the home plug, which is the old word for the power line network adapter.

Oh yes. And I want to recommend these things and I want to tell you a little bit about them. Tell everyone what it is because she didn't understand exactly what it was. Powerline network adapter. This is using your power lines within the home to overlay a signal, a networking signal, a ethernet signal on top of it. And you can like, if I plug in the, the source up in my office, I can go pick up the power line, I plug in

another adapter down in a power line somewhere down by the kitchen or the front room or whatever and it will send the signal across. It's very easy to install. They'd use the find me button, you know, a little button you push and you push the button on one, you push the button on the other and they both link up. And you can have multiple networks by the way, in the same house from different sources. So you can have like two or three different networks on top of each other. And so what you want to look for on the, uh, here's what, so that's the basics of power line network adapting.

And it will reduce the amount of RF in the house. If you, unless you get a wifi-Fi extender version of these things. So this is going to be a little lecture on the technology, namely the nomenclature. You want to look, if you're looking to buy these things, you want to look for AV 1000 or AV 2000. That's the speed. It's a gig, it's a gigabit connection.

Never as real true gigabit, but it doesn't fall off like like Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is no good. Is it triple G? Is a gigabit AV 1000 is one gigabit AV2000 is the newest technology is two gigabits and they're all backward compatible to AV 200 the original was AV 200 and 500 and 600 and 1000 and 1200 and 2000 and they all interwork. They work fine together, which is great. The brands that I like are Tenda and TP Link. And those are the two, two of the most popular.

They're dirt cheap. They're like 30, 40 bucks for, for one of the connections. You plug in a regular ethernet cable into the hole in the bottom and it plugged the ethernet cable into whatever you're hooking it up to. TV sets are perfect for this, by the way. Smart TVs that you want to get a good connection without using wifi. You use one of these, uh, power line network adapters. Now, here's the things you need to know.

If you want to reduce your wifi, don't get a version that says wifi extension. Those versions of the same exact product, but it has a wifi at the end. One of the two of these. You don't want that. No. Well you do if you want wifi. Oh, okay. But so you have, you have a wifi on one of the, the, the end. So you plug it into your router at the base station and then it goes to the,

to the plug that goes into the wall someplace in the house and it could have a wifi on it. Now there are some, and I would look for these, I like the idea of the WiFi extender if it has an off switch. A little switch on the bottom that turns off the WiFi. So for example, I'll have this hooked to like the dining room. Once these things are established by the way,

once you push the two buttons, you can unplug them and then plug them in any time you want and they'll still connect. So I'll take one of these things, which is just sitting around, and I'll plug it into the dining room. It's already been connected previously. And then flip on the WiFi,

so if people in the dining room want to get their phone, to talk to WiFi or their laptop or whatever, they get an excellent connection. This connection will be twice to four times the speed of wifi, which degrade people don't realize this. Yeah. You get a gigabit wifi. It, by the time it gets to wherever it's going, it's slowed down to one fourth

the speed it just cannot, not one fourth. No, or less. And by the way, can't deliver over distance. Can I add a tip to the to your tip? Can I put my tip against your tip? You that sounds doesn't sound right. I'm sorry you what is not recommended is using an Extension cord with your wire line that does not work very well if at all I've noticed No, you have to put it right into the wall. That says it's pretty clear on the instructions.

I'm just telling everybody, don't think that you can use an extension. So I would recommend using these. They're faster. They work fine. Your Adams and Ham was constantly signaling out the original versions of these things that some of the earlier ones interfered with ham radio transmissions. Yeah. They said they were worse than LED lights. And they became scandalous. Yes, they were. Quite scandalous.

They became scandalous and out of vogue. A lot of them, if you turn on a blender, for example, it'll interrupt the signal. Cause the blender's very noisy. The pioneering days of wireline. This, most of these, these problems have been resolved. This is a terrific understated technology up to 2 gigabits. It's pretty amazing. You only need I think 24 or 25 megabits per second to get 4K TV.

So you can use this as a great technology. It works terrific. This is good. Good tip. That's the longest tip of the day you'll ever hear. I do have a bonus public service announcement from VoidZero regarding the troll room. He says, we enabled the nickname registration requirement in the chat in 2016 after a severe attack

from spam bots made it necessary. But he says, it's not a big deal. The email address is only used for a verification code and for when someone forgets their password. We don't use the email address for anything else. I, that's Mark, don't even share the email addresses with anyone. So not even John and Adam can access those. So we can't add you to the mailing list.

That's a bummer. So there you go. We docked, we t list. That's a bummer. So there you go. We docked, we tipped. That's your tip of the day. And now John C. Dvorak with the tip of the day. All right. I got to have an ender tip of the day jingle. Whoo everybody.

because it is the summer and people just forget about their podcasters. Remember your podcasters. We're important for your life. If not, what are you doing? Why are you still listening?

over two years. The one, the only, the magnificent and powerful Sir Chris Wilson with a dynamite end of show mix. Coming up next on the No Agenda Stream, you can listen to the Culture War Radio, episode 253. And as always, I am coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right down the street from Laura Logan and Lieutenant General Flynn,

Fredericksburg, Texas. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's overcast and kind of chilly, typical summer in California. I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Thursday with more media deconstruction just for you.

Remember us at knowageandthedonations.com. Until then, adios mofos, a hooey hooey and such. Weird is the word here. So you think that I'm This is not weird as in weird Weird podcasters The way I talk Perfect! They're just playing weird So you think that I'm a freak This is not weird as in weird Enjoy the pain

As weird and creepy as Janie Vance Destined To be a friend What's wrong with the weird thing? The far right, the far right, the far right Which I think people should adopt So you think that I'm a weird It means fated.

Weird. It really is just plain weird. This storyline has been done over and over again. Trump and Vance are just weird. The far right, the far right, the far right. Donald Trump and his weirdo running mate are weird. The weird podcaster. The other side, they're just weird.

This is not weird as in weird. They come across weird and then they start being weird. Yeah, they're weird. Which I think people should adopt. Republican weirdness goes even deeper. This storyline has been done over and over again. Weird. Just plain weird.

Weird as in weird, destined. The far right, the far right, the far right. Trump and Vance are just weird. This storyline has been done over and over again. How about I just play weird? Which I think people should adopt. Perfect! Donald J. Trump is a racist.

So I want to talk to you about something you write in the book. There's a moment, you're young, someone vandalizes Donald Trump's car. Okay, so that's the setup. And then about this moment, you say N-words. This is you. I recall him saying disgustedly, look what the N-words did. Calling them Negroes is not the words I wanna hear from you I know that you're racist, but not too gay

But if you only knew how easy it would be to show me how you feel More N words is all you have to say To make it real, then you wouldn't have to say wealthy monkey cuz I already know what What would you do? They stole your bike and took your shoes More in words to show how you feel That your racism is real What would you say? If you joined the KKK? Then you'd really make the news just by saying,

I love Jews. And three young black kids took my bike. It's twofold. It's one that he didn't say he did it. He makes an assumption about who it is, what color they are, and then refers to them as the N-word. The best podcast in the universe! Dvorak.org slash NA Sounds corny, but it's real.
