No Agenda - 1684 - "No Guff"

Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Adam curry John C. DeVora This is no agenda live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And for Northern Silicon Valley, where we all congratulate Tampon Tim for getting the VP pick, I'm John C. DeVorek. And here I thought we can probably get through the entire episode without that nickname. Wrong you were, sir. I am so wrong.

Starting point is 00:00:46 I am so wrong, yes. Somehow I don't think Trump will use that one. I don't think he'll use it. It would be great if he did. It would be very funny, but I don't think so. He hasn't even used cackling Camilla, which is, I think you pointed out. It's odd. It's very odd.

Starting point is 00:01:02 Yeah, it's so obvious. Well, I guess to satisfy everybody, we should start off with the outrage of the day. It's all that people can do on Twitter is talk about, oh, the socialist, he's no good. He's no good. Tim Waltz, who reminds me very much of that other Tim guy. Who was that? Who was that? Cain, Tim Kane. Isn't it basically the same guy?

Starting point is 00:01:27 It looks like the same guy, only this other guy's got a fatter jaw. Hey, that's called Cuddly. Did you get the same super clip I did? I have a, I have a, I have a super clip, which is the Walls Medley. Maybe similar. Well, how long is yours?? Well that's a good question. Mine is 135.

Starting point is 00:01:49 You have 135? I have 135, yes. Oh well let's play it. Oh here we go. Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as running major. What does Walz bring to this? He's cuddly. Cuddly. Cuddly. Cuddly. I think she went for maybe a little more of a cuddly choice. He tells more about, like, the texture of the man. He seems to almost have a twinkle in his eye.

Starting point is 00:02:13 Tim Walz is the opposite of weird. Tim Walz beats America. He sounds like, you know, a football coach. He's a hunter that you could visit with at the hardware store. In a dictionary, if you had weird and anti-weird, you'd have Tim Walz's picture there I bet knows how to make a good hot dish casserole. It's very down-to-earth. This is authenticity Communicator the word joy came up a lot. He's joyful. She seems happy happy-go-lucky

Starting point is 00:02:37 Warrior and he's happy and a happy warrior a joyful warrior He is one happy warrior a happy warrior warrior. The happy warrior. Nice guy. Good guy. A very nice person. Reliable. Definitely affable. He is an extremely affable individual. Very affable, plain speaking way of folksy vibe.

Starting point is 00:02:56 This folksy idea. Terrific vibe. Vibes election. Kind of a folksy guy. The idea that Tim Wallace is some lefty is just not true. I don't think either of them are Bernie Sanders progressive. A rather safe pick. I think a safe pick.

Starting point is 00:03:09 The safe choice. This is a do no harm pick. Do no harm. He's just more of a vanilla pick. It's a younger version of Joe Biden. We got Brad Summer. We've got coconut tree memes. There's joy in the Democratic Party right now.

Starting point is 00:03:21 Those outside of Pittsburgh loves Tim Walls. So talk about Walls. He is cuddly and joyful. My clip is so different. It's got the cuddly stuff, but it's got a better punch line. Oh, okay. It's shorter. We can play.

Starting point is 00:03:42 This is just to show you how much crap the mainstream media puts out in support of the democrat party is on its it's an embarrassment and all american definition of a man from middle america high school teaching teacher football coach me personal informal by appeal to a lot of democrats

Starting point is 00:04:04 he's a kind of a folksy guy, very friendly, nice guy. They're totally approachable. You get the feeling that he's got plenty of neighbors that wear MAGA hats and he picks up their paper and brings it to their friend door and they're his friends. Walls has an ability to be, I know one person said, cuddly. Tim Walls is the opposite of weird. Or maybe a little more of a cuddly choice. Cuddly. Cuddly. This is going to weird. Maybe a little more of a cuddly choice. Cuddly.

Starting point is 00:04:25 Cuddly. This is going to be a mac and cheese and a trip to the hardware store grounded vice presidential candidate that's going to make people smile. He seems to almost have a twinkle in his eye. He ice fishes. He's a hunter. He does butter carving. Wow. If this guy becomes vice president we get the mac and cheese life and he does butter carving Mac and cheese That is so pathetic well I love it when they when they all pick up well when they read the talking points memo I presume and then here's what you could say about Tim. He's cuddly, he's joyful, he's, you know, etc., etc. I just hope that these super cuts, that people realize that's what's going on.

Starting point is 00:05:13 We've been doing them, what, for almost the entire length of the show. I just hope that people see it, that, you know, your media is nothing. Now by the same token, your social media is also nothing. Have you noticed that ever since Elon purchased X? Elon! While you can say anything that you want, it's meaningless. The journos all left, or at least they don't promote anything anymore.

Starting point is 00:05:42 Nothing goes viral that gets out into, no one's playing stuff from Twitter. There's no longer people saying, oh, this is trending on Twitter, it's bad news for him. No, none of that. It's now just a place to go and go. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's all that it is.

Starting point is 00:05:58 It's meaningless. I see you posting. Think about it. Elon Musk makes it free for everybody. It's good, you can say whatever you want. How long would it last? I see you posting. Think about it. Elon Musk makes it free for everybody. It's good. You can say whatever you want. How long would it last? I see you posting.

Starting point is 00:06:11 I repost mostly. Yes. Soon to be illegal. So let's meet Kim Walls. Soon to be. I'm just doing it as long as it goes on. I think it's going to end. It's going to end.

Starting point is 00:06:21 It's going to turn to just a financial resource. Let's uh, we'll be using it to collect donations. Let's uh, let's meet uh, now here's here's the the problem That he's run into and and I think this is a universal issue Doesn't play very well in America at all. I'm thinking Swift Boat in America at all. I'm thinking Swift Boat with John Kerry. And this is Stolen Valor, which many are quick to point out to me is punishable by jail. It's a felony according to the Stolen Valor Act of 2013. What we are learning about Tim is that he kind of waffles a bit and says, you know, I carried a gun in combat while he was in the army reserves for 24 years.

Starting point is 00:07:14 When his unit was to be deployed for, I think it was, was it Iraqi freedom or was it the Iraqi? Yeah. He then said, well, well you know I'm gonna run for governor or whatever Senate I think he was stationed in Italy for a while but when you say things like I don't care about the NRA I don't want guns like the one I carried in combat oops and this and they've been calling that I mean I've seen none of it is playable as a clip But I've seen people go I have I have a pretty decent rundown of this. Oh, okay. Good

Starting point is 00:07:49 I'm glad and I hate to do it because now you you I did it then you did it now I'm doing it which is a Jesse Waters analysis He's got you have first of all, I want to make no no Jesse Waters. I You have, first of all, I want to make an excuse for Jesse Waters. He has the prime time on Fox, so thus he has the best writers. He does, yes, he does. He's got good writers. So it's not a complete abomination to play his analysis. As long as you cut him out. Did you cut him out or you left him in? Because I always cut him out.

Starting point is 00:08:22 No, I left him in because the whole thing is a package that's very well done. I usually cut him out. It's hard to cut him out to be honest about it. Now exactly what I called this clip is another issue. I would say Jesse W. on Walt's stolen valor. That seems to be the right one. That sounds like it would be it. The media has inflated this guy's resume like he inflated his own. Waltz never went to war. He never saw combat. He was never in a war zone.

Starting point is 00:08:52 But for years he's been claiming otherwise. I spent 25 years in the army and I haunt. We can do background checks. We can do CDC research. We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states. And we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons were. Waltz never carried weapons in war. He's lying and he's been giving reporters the impression that he's been a combat vet for years. Bloomberg putting out a piece saying Waltz served quote in Iraq as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Waltz never went to Iraq, and Bloomberg had to retract it.

Starting point is 00:09:26 Waltz put out a campaign press release claiming he was a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, claiming he served on the gun in Afghanistan. He never served in Afghanistan. Waltz told the Atlantic he just returned from fighting in the war on terrorism. Waltz never fought anywhere. He abandoned his unit, left his battalion hanging,

Starting point is 00:09:42 right before he was supposed to deploy to Iraq. I was like, well, for Pete's sake, this guy quit. He abandoned his unit, left his battalion hanging, right before he was supposed to deploy to Iraq. I was like, well, for Pete's sake, this guy quit. And if I say I'm not going to do it, I mean, what the hell kind of leadership is that? He was a congressman. He, you know, he bragged that he was a command sergeant, retired command sergeant major. I'm the highest ranking person ever in the house and, you know, all this lie that he was telling.

Starting point is 00:10:04 And there was lots of public, you know, lots of cards coming in the mail, you know lie that he was telling. And there was lots of cards coming into mail for him to be elected. They said right on her, he's a retired command sergeant major just tooting his own horn, just hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command sergeant majors that went through all the process

Starting point is 00:10:19 and put all the time in. Stolen valor is really what it is. So when you get this from Fox, it was kind of to be expected, but when it boils over and flows to CNN, you know you have an actual problem. And here's the fact checking going on at CNN. Waltz did make a comment speaking to a group he's done it a couple of times where he has used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation. As you know, with your contact with the military, I know from coming from

Starting point is 00:10:50 a military family, there is a difference between being in a combat area, being involved at a time of war, and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you. There is no evidence that at any time Governor Walz was in a position of being shot at and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was. So that is absolutely false when he said that about gun rights out there. So to trolls, Cotton-G and I see you, who say, who cares? The media always picks our winners and losers. This actually matters. We are media deconstructionists. So you're listening to the wrong podcast if you don't care.

Starting point is 00:11:31 This is exactly... Get off, get off, get off the draw room, get out. This is exactly what you don't want in the age of media picks your leaders or your representatives. And it's so pathetic when you see Tina Smith, who is the representative from Minnesota, trying to do this. Well, here is Tim Walz, who enlisted when he was 17 years old. He served in the National Guard for 24 years.

Starting point is 00:12:00 And I'm not aware of any military service that JD Vance has ever served. So let's just make the comparison there. And what happened in the tragedy of the killing of George Floyd and then the unrest. Yeah, okay, pardon me for that. Jim Acosta is correcting you. You've really messed up as a Democrat. So that's for sure. It is un really unbelievable and not credible that this guy was

Starting point is 00:12:33 not fact-checked on this point. And that makes no sense. Or they were in such a hurry to get just anybody in anybody, but someone who would win because that's what it looks like. Well, I will mention that this was supposedly put, this guy was picked and chosen and put in by Eric Holder who is the head of the of the Choosing Committee, the one-man Choosing Committee, and he of course is connected to Obama and as I mentioned in the newsletter there was some thought that Obama is still irked about this whole thing. That Kamala should not be the person in this position at all.

Starting point is 00:13:13 And he's sabotaging the campaign. Yeah, I'll buy that. I really will. I mean, it, it just, it's so odd that this would not be checked because there's video of veterans going to his office like 10 years ago saying, hey, you know, this is not cool what you're doing here. I don't know if that was as senator or as governor. No, he was a congressman. Oh, congressman.

Starting point is 00:13:40 I'm sorry. So either way, it's like, and you know, some of the media is just, well, this is our guy. Let's pick up on anything we can. He's joyful. The whole campaign is joyful. Joyful is my favorite. And I've heard that Ploof is now is on the campaign. So Ploof is, he's the guy that makes all these Yes. The campaign. So Ploof is a, he's the guy that makes all these, that makes all of these campaign stops look like the real deal. I mean, he knows what he's doing. He was Obama's guy. So they're doing a good job with that. They're packing them in. But even if you look at the YouTube numbers on the, which is Joe Biden's YouTube account of the stream of

Starting point is 00:14:25 the announcement. There's only like 50,000 views. So, you know, something smells bad, but let's get to meet the candidate, the VP candidate. I have an Ask John. We don't have an Ask John jingle, unfortunately. We should. Ask John. All right, Ask John.

Starting point is 00:14:41 All right, John, here we go. This is an Ask John question. Let me just make sure we have the right one loaded up here. But in Minnesota, just like in Wisconsin, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make. Even if we wouldn't make the same choices for ourselves, because we know there's a golden rule. same choices for ourselves because we know there's a golden rule. Now, whenever I see Tim Waltz walking around, he's always putting his hands together in prayer emoji fashion like, oh, thank you, thank you. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, so what do you think his golden rule is? We've heard of the golden rule. What is Tim Waltz's golden rule? Think on your neighbors during COVID.

Starting point is 00:15:27 You might think, you might think. He had a call in line so you could, if you saw your neighbor walking the dog, you can call it in and have them arrested. Well, that's the good neighbor policy of Tim Walz. Well, you'd think when he says golden rule, you'd think he would say, you know, do unto others as you would have them do

Starting point is 00:15:45 unto you that's even rob reiner knows that's the golden rule but here is the golden rule of your potential future vice president but in minnesota just like in wisconsin we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make even if even if we wouldn't make the same choices for ourselves because we know there's a golden rule. Mind your own damn business. There you go. Mind your own damn business. Yes, I did.

Starting point is 00:16:14 I didn't get that. Mind your own. There's your new golden rule. Yeah, mind your own damn business. And if you see anybody walking their dog, call our hotline. Yeah, I got I got several notes from from people in Minnesota. Mind your own damn business. And if you see anybody walking their dog, call our hotline. Yeah. I got, I got several notes from, uh, from people in Minnesota, Minnesota, by the way, which is Sue for, uh, sky colored waters.

Starting point is 00:16:36 Supposed to be a beautiful, beautiful state. I've been to Minnesota. Land of 10,000 lakes. I've been there numerous times. Yes. Uh, first of all, says our producer Thomas don't believe the hype. He's America's dad numerous times. Yes. First of all, says our producer Thomas, don't believe the hype. He's America's dad or Minnesota nice. He's the type that will have his administration send a lawsuit to a single mother of four

Starting point is 00:16:52 wrapped in a bow right before Christmas for simply refusing to go along with this COVID lockdown. He's the type of good neighbor that sets up a snitch line for people to report those that are not following his mandates. He's the type of person that promotes having drag shows in our state capitol building. Oh, that's entertaining. He made Minnesota a trans sanctuary for those to be brought into the state and have the gender reassignment surgeries without the parents consent. He forces all schools to have tampons in the boys restroom. So clearly Thomas from the from the free state of Minnesota not

Starting point is 00:17:27 very happy with Tim Walz. Now what the thing that I find very odd is that the the mainstream M5M they are crediting him with coming up with the weird term. Yes this is a this is a very common, this is, everybody says that, yes. And in fact, I think even if you go to his wiki page, you'll see that. Well, because Wikipedia is of course the book of knowledge. Well, it's the book of propaganda, but it's beside the point. Let's see what NBC does here. This morning, the new Democratic ticket is off and running. Vice President Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, setting out on a swing state tour. Why Walz? Sources tell NBC News the two had strong chemistry when they met last Sunday. Harris sources say was swayed in part

Starting point is 00:18:16 by Walz's biography. Oh swayed by his biography. Walz also repeating the now popular attack line that first got him attention among many Democrats These guys are creepy and yes, just weird as hell But according to a new poll 71% of Americans say they don't know or have an opinion on walls So now the race is on from both sides to define him That's also something that is not very well or discussed at all on the mainstream is name recognition. This is always a thing that they add in like, oh, you have to name recognition. No one was talking about Tim Waltz, except Kara Swisher who said he would be a horrible pick. But I'm sure by the time Pivot comes out on Friday, he'll be a great pick.

Starting point is 00:19:00 There's no doubt because she is the most wishy washy of them all. Here's NPR. There's no doubt, because she is the most wishy-washy of them all. Here's NPR. Yeah, he's the one that coined the phrase weird or the viral meme weird in describing Donald Trump and JD Vance. So tell us about Tim Walz. Who is he? Well, he's a Minnesota governor.

Starting point is 00:19:16 He was born and raised in rural Nebraska. He's in his second term as Minnesota governor. He's the head of the Democratic Governors Association. So there's some thought that he has some ability to raise some money, bring some cash to the ticket as well. He's a veteran of the Army National Guard. We know he didn't really know Harris very well before these past couple of weeks, but impressed her. He does have these connections on Capitol Hill, so he's also a governing pick as well.

Starting point is 00:19:43 Really, as you noted him coining this phrase weird, a lot of this is about messaging. He's very good at it. Very good. And he's really somebody who two weeks ago was not on the tips of people's lips for who could get this job, but clearly you know talked his way into it with that and with his personality. Talked his way into it with his personality. Wow, this is dynamite. Well, of course, even we were convinced that it would not be Waltz.

Starting point is 00:20:11 I mean, I still held on for a hopeful Westmore just to give Moe the benefit, but that didn't happen. And Shapiro was what everyone thought would be the pick. And that didn't happen here, CNN. I just think it was weird. It turned out not to be as a false a notice I thought it might be to do this rollout in Shapiro's home state

Starting point is 00:20:35 if you're not gonna pick Shapiro. They could have done this rollout in Michigan. They could have done this rollout in Wisconsin, someplace where there wasn't, one of the finalists wasn't from, so it wouldn't seem like a,-your-face kind of move. But also, even if it's a second order or third order issue, the fact that a lot of people,

Starting point is 00:20:55 sometimes boosted by the Trump campaign, we're now learning, but a lot of people in the Democratic Party and on the very online web. This guy's dying. Jeez. Singled out Shapiro because he's Jewish, and they did single him out because it's Jewish He doesn't have any positions on Israel. They're different from any other people who's competing with or from Kamala Harris But the whole genocide Josh thing the fact that walls see seems like the safer pick

Starting point is 00:21:19 Than Shapiro tells you something about the problems running through the Democratic Party I mean this this has to be sabotaged. There's just, this guy has so much nasty garbage hanging off of him. It's crazy. Well, I think there's an element of that, but I do have some comment about the Shapiro non-pick because it was lined up. That's what they were going to do in Pennsylvania. Yes.

Starting point is 00:21:41 And I was totally convinced it was going to be Shapiro. But what it turns out, and this has not been discussed except very obscurely and you'll never find it. Shapiro was for school vouchers and the teachers union basically put their foot down and said, you're not picking this guy. Oh, I believe that. Yeah. Of course that's not discussed.

Starting point is 00:22:02 Why, why bring any information to the people? I would be wrong. Yeah, and they're pretty powerful. That lady who screams and yells, what's her name? Oh, from two... both the groups have ladies that scream. You see the California... NT, National Teachers Association, and the other one. They both have screamers. Now, the thing is that Shapiro did speak at the event, and I have to say, I can see why they call him the Jewish Obama. He has the same cadence, he does the same structure,

Starting point is 00:22:36 he does the one, two, three, four, five, repeating himself in a certain kind of a way, that very Obama-esque. Obviously, there's a speaking coach that teaches this and he's really good. But no, he's out. Well, so here's some of the nasty dirt that's hanging off of him.

Starting point is 00:22:57 By the way, he can't be too happy. He's joyful, he's not happy, he's joyful. There's a big difference, big difference, big difference. He can't be too joyful, I don't think he's joyful. Here's another thing that's a problem for him. Now, Alex, critics are also blasting Tim Walz for saying... Blasting? They are saying that he failed to prevent a massive COVID-19 fraud scheme

Starting point is 00:23:16 that ensnared the state of Minnesota, the Minnesota government. What's the latest on that? Well, Diane, what's interesting, this is one of the largest COVID era What's the latest on that? Well, Diane, what's interesting, this is one of the largest COVID era fraud cases that we know of thus far. Federal charges filed against some 70 individuals, basically saying that they took advantage of two different COVID era relief programs to the tune of about $250 million. Now it's important to note that the Governor Walsh has not been charged or or or that even there haven't even been accusations that he was somehow involved in this but the criticism is that he

Starting point is 00:23:54 appointed the folks that were overseeing the handing out of these funds. I can say that an audit done of the the doling out that the disbursement of these funds. Listen this guy trying to dance around it. I don't know why this guy can't just get it blurted out. Is he a professional? Oh yeah, it gets worse. They can do better and that any responsibility in that falls at his feet but again this is something that he has not been wrapped up in. He's not charged or faces any charges up in he's not he's not charged or or or faces any charges or stemming from from from this case no it's dirt it's dirt and it's not good for him now he does have the trans kids this was an

Starting point is 00:24:34 unbelievable report uh because he he uh he he i sound like a mainstream guy. He, he, he, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he, because he turned his state into a sanctuary state for kids who want to have transgender surgery without their parents' permission. Not a very popular thing. I don't think anywhere anymore. And listen to this child abuse. Also standing in that sea of people, a parent, transparent about his family. My partner Gretchen. Oh, I love transparent. You're transparent. You're a Transparent so transparent you're transparent parent transparent about his family. My partner Gretchen and I are here today

Starting point is 00:25:16 Can't even say wife Can't even say wife has to say my partner Okay, maybe he's not married but you know what? I mean. No, they're probably married. I mean, the kid, I think, is this the six-year-old? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is so pathetic. About his family. My partner Gretchen and I are here today because we are parents of a trans child. Their child is six years old, and she was as excited to be at a boring capital on spring break as any six year old kid could be.

Starting point is 00:25:49 Squirming and fidgeting her way through speeches hardly aware her existence is why her parents drove five hours today to speak publicly. This is a great setup. Hardly aware of her existence, but she knows she's trans. Speak publicly. It's 100% personal. I mean the safety, the happiness of our child is, it couldn't be more personal. Asher, why are we here today? For trans rights? For her rights to be her. As you can see from this. This breaks my heart. They've Psyop this kid and to believe in the kid is trans and I'm here for trans rights. Six years old. Freedom!

Starting point is 00:26:34 Six years old. That's heartbreaking what these people are doing. Well here, I want to play just this. The Minnesota Attorney General. this is the clip, which kind of is a little background on this whole thing. They're really trans nuts up there in Minnesota, this MNAG. MNAG, got it. Because let's be clear, this is life-affirming and life-saving health care.

Starting point is 00:27:06 When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grownups to listen and to believe them. That's what it means to be a good parent. Well John, you and I are both parents. And by the way, may I congratulate you? Oh no, and I love the term grown ups. Oh yeah. Was she 12?

Starting point is 00:27:33 Yeah. I would like to congratulate you on 40 years of matrimony and they never had a fight. I thought it was 40. 36. Oh yeah, no, it's four. Yes, 36. 36. Did Mimi came down to celebrate? She's on her way. She's on her way. Clear the decks. She's on her way. What are you guys doing tonight? It depends on what time she gets here. Well, don't you have a reservation at a swanky restaurant? You know, she's picked up this weird.

Starting point is 00:28:09 Oh, the food allergy. Yeah. A wheat thing ever since the COVID, which really cracked them. It's very difficult to eat at any restaurants without her getting sick. You're cooking for her. Yeah. I can cook better in most places. I know you can.

Starting point is 00:28:24 So what are you cooking? Oh, I've kind of fallen back on cooking filet mignon roast. Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese. Happy anniversary, baby. Sheep cheddar. Happy anniversary.

Starting point is 00:28:40 So, uh. Yeah, that's good, man. I'm happy for you guys. 36 years. That's, that's nothing to, nothing, nothing to joke about. It's nothing to sneeze at. So, uh, back to this woman, kids at six don't know. I mean, what do you, the kids are going to tell you what they, what they are.

Starting point is 00:29:00 JC, when he was, I think this is a good story. JC was three characters. Yes. Besides being himself, a little kid, about six, seven, eight years old, he was also a robot. Yes. And my favorite? Jacques the Maître D. Which I'm sure you took advantage of just like he was trans. Oh yeah, well when he was Jacques the Maider D and he was roaming around with a napkin

Starting point is 00:29:31 over his forearm. Go get me this from the kitchen Jacques. He would go do all kinds of errands. But he was also the robot. He was also a third character which I think was a cat. Oh yeah, I never heard about the robot. He was also a third character, which I think was a cat. Oh, I never heard about the cat, but I, yeah, I can't remember the third character cause it wasn't as strong a character as

Starting point is 00:29:50 jock and the robot. But this is a, what are we supposed to do at that point? Oh, he's a, he's a, he's a mater D. Let's make him a mater. What if you've wanted to be a girl for five minutes? What we're going to do. I mean, this is ridiculous. Kids do this stuff and you're not, you take it to a point, you don't take it so seriously that you chop their nuts off. Okay. No, no you don't. But in today's world, you know, remember we're all still incredibly traumatized by COVID.

Starting point is 00:30:22 So people are still strange. We have to keep remembering this. Stuff happened during COVID that made, and remember my hair girl, and she says that there's a very high correlation between people who were wearing masks in their car by themselves for three years, who also have trans kids. It's part of the same trauma that has been just been injected into them. It's like MK also has been injected into them. It's part of the same trauma that has been just been injected into them.

Starting point is 00:30:48 It's like MKUltra. I really think it's related. Well, it's definitely weird. Oh, there you go. And I hate to use that word. If I say it again, if I say weird again, call me out and make me stop. Okay. Because I don't like the word at all anymore. And if I say it again, if I say weird again, call me out and make me stop. Okay.

Starting point is 00:31:05 Because I don't like the word at all anymore. So I'll say peculiar. Yes, that's a good one. Peculiar. That's peculiar. Is that the best word we can come up with? That's got to be a better one. Strange.

Starting point is 00:31:18 Let me see. Synonyms for weird. Let's look at what they could be weird okay but while you're looking at I will say that it's listen to this okay go ahead you'll say this and I'll give you some some other words really use screwy bizarre bizarre curious I like curious. Erratic. Erratic. Quirky. Quirky. Quirky. Quirky. Off the wall. Off beat. Queer. Huh. That's interesting.

Starting point is 00:31:56 That's queer. Maybe that's what they're trying to inject. Bizarro. Outlandish. Wacky. With or without an H. Kinky. I like quirky. Now that's too cute. Quirky is good. Yeah, quirky, unique. Anyway, so I realize now that because I have made a habit of watching these Zoom calls,

Starting point is 00:32:22 these phony, baloney Zoom calls, where they say, Oh, this is the biggest Zoom call audience ever. We know it's not true. We know that you don't have a hundred or 200,000 people on a Zoom call. You may have people watching a stream, but that's not all on the Zoom call. So there's some disingenuity there. But Tim Walz was on the white dudes for Harris, the crackers for Kamala call. And I have to say I like this guy for one reason.

Starting point is 00:32:48 He's highly editable. He speaks in bursts and there's enough pause, you can slap stuff together. So I took his four minutes and broke it down to one with the punchline at the end. I'm going to echo that message though, that message of hope. My oldest daughter's name is Hope. That's because my wife and I spent seven years trying to get pregnant, needed fertility treatments, things like IVF, things that they would ban. And so once again, I keep talking about this idea.

Starting point is 00:33:17 You're right. These guys are the anti-freedoms. I grew up in a small town, 400 people, 24 kids in the class, 12 cousins. And I hear JD Vance trying to talk about what a small town is. There's one golden rule in a small town. Those of you who are from a small town, mind your own damn business. We don't need it. I don't know who's asking for this crazy stuff that they're

Starting point is 00:33:36 pushing. Who's asking to ban birth control? No one. No one. No one. He's full of crap. He's a liar. No one. No one is asking for that.'s full of crap. He's a liar this guy. No one is asking for that. Who's asking to raise the price of insulin? No one. No one is asking for that. No one, Tim. I'm a Legion Club member and none of the dudes there are- What's the Legion Club?

Starting point is 00:33:58 I have no idea. I've never heard of- American Legion? American Legion. He said Legion Club. I think he's shortened it, but it's got to be the American Legion. They said Legion Club. I think he's shortened it, but it's gotta be the American Legion for veterans. I'm a Legion Club member and none of the dudes there are asking to cut veterans benefits like Project 2025 does. Oh, really? So look, we need to point out. He's a big look guy, by the way.

Starting point is 00:34:22 He's really good at the look. He's like, look. So look, we need to point out to this. The reason rural America hurts is because robber barons like these guys have come in there. They undermine the basic social safety net that makes this country great. So this is preaching to the choir,

Starting point is 00:34:36 but the choir needs to sing. No, this guy's as good as Kamala. I like that. This is preaching to the choir, but the choir's got to sing. We're not in this alone. The rest of the world needs us to be here. These guys throwing our NATO allies under the bus. We're not in this alone. The rest of the world needs us to be here.

Starting point is 00:34:53 This guy is good. This is preaching to the choir, but the choir needs to sing. We're not in this alone. The rest of the world needs us to be here. These guys throwing our NATO allies under the bus. The idea that they don't care what happens in the rest of the world. This is completely not true. He's basing this on Trump saying if they don't pay, we're not going to protect. So it's not same as throwing your NATO allies under the bus. Not addressing climate change that's going to impact communities that are less fortunate

Starting point is 00:35:22 than anyone else. That's also not true. They are addressing climate change. They just don't believe in the hoax, but they are addressing it. Not addressing climate change that's going to impact communities that are less fortunate than anyone else. Those are the things it has to do.

Starting point is 00:35:38 We have communities that are going to pay the price because we don't address it. And for one thing, don't ever shy away from our progressive values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. Just do the damn work. Yeah. And that's what's going to tank him forever. He's basically saying one person's noise, literally saying one person's socialism

Starting point is 00:35:58 is the other person's neighborliness. No, socialism is socialism. And if you, if you don't understand the distinction, then you're dumb. So, so I have some, I have some wall stuff too, but I want to stick with the zoom calls for a minute. Oh, okay. Stay with the zoom call. But I haven't at this, at the, at the rollout when he was introduced.

Starting point is 00:36:16 So that's, I was, well, I was moving on. All right. We'll, we'll do your, uh, we'll do, I'll come back to the zoom calls after your Walt stuff, what you got. Okay. So he comes out and lies about, I have two clips. First he lies about Trump, which he's bound to do. Sorry.

Starting point is 00:36:32 Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us. First of all, he doesn't know the first thing about service. He doesn't have time for it because he's too busy serving himself. Again and again and again Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand. He mocks our laws. He's not doing very well at that gambit is he? Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand. He mocks our laws. He's so as chaos and division. And that's to say nothing of his record as president.

Starting point is 00:37:11 He froze in the face of the COVID crisis. He drove our economy into the ground and make no mistake. Violent crime was up under Donald Trump. That's not even counting the crimes he committed. no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump. That's not even counting the crimes he committed. Do you think he writes that himself? I think he does. That's not bad.

Starting point is 00:37:34 At this point, I think he does. I mean, eventually maybe he's going to bring in some pros, but he is, because I've listened to enough of him. He's got a pretty good style of It's a kind of a switcheroo punchline style that yeah, I think it's just natural to him. He's an asshole so You sound like Twitter Yes, I do. I've been on Twitter This is him now. He goes against he up against, he starts condemning Vance.

Starting point is 00:38:07 Oh, okay. Vice President Kamala Harris takes her new running mate governor- What? What? What? Well, this is Waltz versus Vance? Is that the clip you want? Waltz versus Vance. Oh, oh, oh, okay. Yeah, you can play that, but that's not, I thought I had a different clip. Well, should I not play this and go back to the Zoom call? No, you might as well play it to get it out of the way. Okay.

Starting point is 00:38:26 Vice President Kamala Harris takes her new running mate, Governor Tim Walz to the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan. But Trump's VP pick, Senator JD Vance shows up in the same exact cities to ramp up his counter messaging. NDD's White House correspondent, Iris Tao has more. In their first full day as running mates, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz campaigning in Wisconsin and later in Michigan. And in 90 days the nation will know Coach Walz by a new title.

Starting point is 00:39:00 Vice President. Walz, who's just tapped as Harris's VP pick the day before, continues to highlight his background as a veteran. For 24 years, I proudly wear the uniform of this nation. The former President Trump's running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, travels to the same exact cities where Harris and Walls are campaigning. Vance criticizing what he calls open border policies.

Starting point is 00:39:22 I heard just earlier about a criminal who was deported from this community, who came emphasizing what he calls open border policies and responding to the attack line calling him weird. Earlier today, Vance landed in Wisconsin just minutes after Harris' touchdown at the I want all of you and your kids to be able to live the American dream. If those people want to call me weird, I think it's a badge of honor. Earlier today, Vance landed in Wisconsin just minutes after Harris' touchdown at the same airport. Vance walked to Air Force 2, then told reporters, I just wanted to check out my future plane. The Harris campaign on Wednesday said, That's not fair. They cut off the better part of that.

Starting point is 00:40:02 He said, I just want to check out my future plane. And I figured you of the press will be lonely because she never stops to talk to you. That's what he said. Two then-Toll reporters I just wanted to check out my future plane. The Harris campaign on Wednesday said it had raised $36 million since announcing Walls as the VP pick. According to a new memo, the campaign will focus on the so-called blue Wall states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan and use Walls as a key asset in appealing to rural

Starting point is 00:40:31 voters. I think a better, I'm sorry? I was going to just say make two comments about it. Yes. First of all, Walls said in that one speech where he talked about carrying arms in combat, which he never did, he said he was in the army. He never was in the army. He said he was in the army?

Starting point is 00:40:52 He was in the National Guard. The National Guard is not the army. It's not the army, it's different for sure. It's totally different. It's like if you were in the Coast Guard, you were in the army. You're not, no. The other thing is this coach thing, which really bugs me. When it doesn't come up as much as it should.

Starting point is 00:41:08 Supposedly it was the coach of the football team and the football team went from winless one year to the state championship. He was not the coach of that football team. He was the linebacker coach. A linebacker coach for a high school football team is probably just one step above water boy.

Starting point is 00:41:27 Hello? So, that's another example of his exaggeration. Fact check false, everybody. Fact check false. Come on. Fact check false. It wasn't. Taken from JCD.

Starting point is 00:41:37 Yeah, that's good. By the way, I think a better word is kooky. Those guys are, that's what they are. word is kooky. Those guys are that's what I like kooky. That's a word we haven't heard since the days of 77 sunset strip. That's all your old timers out there. What was 77 sunset strip? It was a it was a black and white late 50s early 60s I think. TV show about detectives and there was this guy, Ed Kooky Burns, who is actually also a singer. Oh, great.

Starting point is 00:42:09 And Kooky was a very popular term in that era. Well, I'm bringing it back. Kooky. I think Kooky is cool. Kooky is cool. So anyway, so I watched the Zoom calls. I just love this concept because it's so dumb. We had the comics for Kamala. I sent a link to Joe Rogan and I say, what is this? He says, it's Cox for Kamala. Ah, okay, got it.

Starting point is 00:42:43 It was organized by Eric Swalwell. The only thing that was actually kind of funny was John Hamm came in at the beginning, who was arguably one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and the host from The Daily Show, Paul Mercurio, another funny guy. He did like, oh, John Hamm, you're on the wrong call. And just cut him off.

Starting point is 00:43:06 That was kind of funny. So then we had in Order of Appearance, Swalwell, the funniest guy in California, Donny, Kathy Griffin, Sia, John Pritzker, another comic, Adam Pally, Representative Maxwell Frost. Nick Offerman, actually have a clip of his

Starting point is 00:43:30 if you want to hear it. Tiffany Haddish, she twerked. This was really hilarious. Mark Hamill came back. And at this point, there's only 23,000 people at 39 minutes in who have watched this thing. Lake Bell, John Stamos and Matt Friend, and Matt Friend did a Howard, he did a decent Howard Stern impersonation that was kind of funny,

Starting point is 00:43:52 but it wasn't like hilarious. Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow, then Rosie O'Donnell was just moaning about her VRBO. Ed Helms, Phoebe Robinson, Kathy Griffith came back in again, Lisa Ann Walter and Tom Arnold, that was cringy, Kevin Nealon, RIP Kevin Nealon, Jared Moskovitz, he's from Florida, and George Wallace. And so by 90 minutes, there's only less than 21,000 people watching this fabulous zoom call. And here's an example of the comedy, the comedic stylings here of Ben Stiller on Cucks for Kamala. I just want to let you know, I'm going to match your $150,000 donation. Everybody's got to get out and vote and donate. And she's also an historic candidate, you know. It's going to be the first woman president. And that's incredibly exciting.

Starting point is 00:44:48 And she's Indian, she's black, she's everything. You can be more than one thing. It's incredible. I'm Jewish and Irish. I wish I was black. Every white Jewish guy wishes he was black. Get know, it's just get out there and vote and donate and like take advantage. This is such an important time right now. And this this this wave of energy that's happening, we got to keep going with it.

Starting point is 00:45:14 So please do everything you can. Wave of hilarious energy. I've got to play some of this parody that Nick Offerman did. Before you do that, I contacted Moe Facts and I also talked to Horowitz about this. Every white Jew wants to be black. What did you learn? I learned that actually Moe had an interesting take because he said that a lot of young white Jews are into hip hop and they kind of want to be black in a certain kind of a hip hop way. But they ain't like us.

Starting point is 00:45:53 See Drake. And yes, and Horowitz was just like, you can just hear him shaking his head on it. He hung up, didn't he? He went, I'm not listening to you. It was a DM. Oh, DM. So Nick Offerman, do you know Nick Offerman? I've never seen this guy. He's got sideburns like that Andy Inocco. Inocco. Inocco. Inocco. And he did his, you just tell me when you want to stop, maybe after one verse you'll be done. He did a parody of Lee Green's

Starting point is 00:46:27 I'm proud to be an American, which is Trump's signature song When he bought the disabled and war heroes I looked the other way and war heroes I looked the other way he said to march on the capital well if the president says it's okay and I don't mind sex with porn stars I'd do it too if I had the guts but when it comes to fucking the furniture

Starting point is 00:47:02 well that's just fucking nuts so I'm proud to be a Kamala man who has quit the GOP because I just can't abide a man who's tried the 34 felonies and it's time to stand up and face the facts that the men that I once cheered Are a bunch of wingnut white nationalists Where those guys are fucking weird I'm gonna have to stop it here. I mean this it this is so I mean I pray please don't make Kamala Harris president because this is the level of humor we'll have to endure. It'll be horrible. And it's even...

Starting point is 00:47:52 A lot of cussing. Oh, a lot of cussing. And then, and just to try and... In hopefulness, in hopefulness by the mainstream media, with that I mean Morning Joe. And fans of Saturday Night Live have a new role in mind for actor Steve Martin. They want him to play the Democrats vice presidential nominee Tim Walsh in the upcoming season. It's already confirmed that Maya Rudolph is returning this fall to portray Kamala Harris.

Starting point is 00:48:22 She won an Emmy for the role back in 2020. Too good. I do think that could work. Oh, he'd be fantastic. Yeah, because you guys clearly, clearly are the party of humor. It's amazing. Yeah. So.

Starting point is 00:48:36 Yeah. Well, he rejected the idea. Of course he did. So there was a very interesting, uh, post on X, uh, from a woman named Laura Powell and it's about the money. And so Kamala Harris filed an updated statement of candidacy, which is known as Form 2 to designate Tim Walz as her running mate. But there's some things that have happened here.

Starting point is 00:49:01 She used Biden's personal candidate ID number instead of her own. And the federal election committee records are confusing at this point. Her newly filed form two shows up on Biden's personal FEC page. But if you look at the 2024 election cycle, Biden is just erased and replaced with Harris as if he was never running for president in the first place. So she has this whole rundown and at a certain point the 23-24 FEC record for Biden for president aka Harris for president is linked to two presidential candidates both are named Kamala Harris. So the synopsis of this and the whole rundown is in the show notes. It's a win-win for the Democrat elites either way. If she somehow wins, then all of the money which you know we know is coming from very small sources but split up through

Starting point is 00:49:54 ActBlue, we have some proof of that, keeps flowing to all of them connected through their consulting firms. It's just to clarify, a small number of sources. Yeah, a small number, but a big numbers. Big, big bucks from probably overseas, China. So if she wins, then all the money of course goes back to everyone who donated in favors, that's how it works. If she loses, then this $310 million they have, which includes the campaign cash, the original Biden for president hoard, they can then dole out to themselves over time, however they wish. And they don't have to deal with Biden anymore. So they just get to keep all the money. I don't really understand it, but that's why I put it on the show notes, everybody can

Starting point is 00:50:43 look at it. Yeah, I'd like to understand it, but that's why I put it all in the show notes. Everybody can look at it. Yeah. I'd like to understand it better. Yeah. I mean, it's boring for me to just read it to you. So that's why I'm not going to do it. Biden has got to get some vig out of that. Well, you know, Trump is out there saying that Biden is so, let me do it. Maybe do I have a clip of that?

Starting point is 00:50:59 Let me see. I think I may have a clip. Let me see if this is it. I think I may have a clip. Um... Um... Let me see if this is it. Generally, we don't bother to read the, um, former president Donald Trump's deranged posts on social media. Deranged posts! But this time it's groovy. But this one is so unstable and so unhinged, it's important that Americans maybe know just how imbalanced the Republican nominee is.

Starting point is 00:51:28 So here goes. Trump writes in full, quote, this is the most radical left duo in American history. There has never been anything like it and there never will be again. Crazy kamabla is indeed crazy. I hear there is a big movement to bring back crooked Joe. What are the chances that crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of the US whose presidency was unconstitutionally stolen from him by Kamabla blah Barack Hussein Obama crazy Nancy Pelosi shifty Adam Schiff crying Chuck Schumer and others on the lunatic left crashes the Democratic

Starting point is 00:52:11 National Convention and tries to take back the nomination beginning with challenging me to another debate he feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the US presidency a coup to the people in the world he most hates, and he wants it back now. Now that's not that crazy. I like that post. Can you imagine Biden starting off the DNC by saying, I got robbed? I got hairy legs. I got robbed. He hasn't got the guts to do that. But it's a funny idea because there's some thought that for example, this came up in a recent, uh, one of these, one of these shows on TV,

Starting point is 00:52:52 the idea that Biden was put into the position long before the convention to do the debate, knowing he was going to fail. So they get rid of him. It was all part of a grand scheme, maybe orchestrated by Obama because he wanted to, you know, he was going to fail so they could get rid of him. It was all part of a grand scheme, maybe orchestrated by Obama, because he wanted to, you know, get back in some sort of power position. And so the idea was to bring Biden out to debate Trump and don't jack him up. Because where was jacked up Joe? Because we expected him to be like he was at the at the State of the Union.

Starting point is 00:53:22 State of the Union where he's all yelling and screaming and all jacked up. He wasn't even close to that. They may have even given him a set, you know, some sort of a donor for all, you know, here's your shot, Joe. Huh? Uh, and the idea was so he would have an epic fail so they could get rid of him, even though he took a little while before he took the hint. So it's all within the realm of possibility.

Starting point is 00:53:49 Well, we'll see. He's been jobbed is the theory. He's been jobbed. And Trump was suckered. Because if they'd let this thing go and that had the debate until after the convention. Oh yeah, Trump totally got suckered into that. Yeah. Well, and also look, I mean, to say, no, I won't debate you before the convention.

Starting point is 00:54:09 It would have been a whole mess. I can see his thinking, but yeah, that was a check, you know, not checkmate, but check. It also makes sense if you think about that, with that theory in mind, you think about the way the CNN, the two stooges at CNN, who are Trump haters, both of them at some point, I think called Trump Hitler, they were so neutral about the whole thing and they just did any fact checking, they did nothing, they just let the thing go.

Starting point is 00:54:34 Let it all go. Oh, what, you mean the media's in on it? Oh no, oh no, don't say it. Here's just a quick clip from O'Keefe Media, OMG, O'Keefe Media Group, proving how this ActBlue scam works. It's quite simple, actually. Hello, everyone.

Starting point is 00:54:52 I'm sitting here with my mother and I decided to take a look at the election watch to see if my mother's name was safe and secure with her name being used for contributions. We found out that her name was being used over 30 times for Bernie Sanders Contributions mom. Did you make any contributions to Bernie Sanders? Angie Jones from Indiana submitted a video of her mother Alberta Jones who goes by mrs Robert Jones saying she did not donate to act blue or a Bernie Sanders pack as the FEC record show from 2019 to 2024. So you're positive you didn't make any?

Starting point is 00:55:28 I'm very positive. I have bank records that show where my contributions went. Great, so you would turn those records over to me to prove that you didn't make these contributions? Yes, indeed. Alberta Jones gave O'Keefe Media her consent to show these bank records, proving during the time

Starting point is 00:55:45 period of 2019, no donations were given to Act Blue at all. How does that make you feel that your name was used? I feel violated. And by the way, the Go Red or whatever Jared Kushner is running, I'm sure they do the same thing. It would be crazy to think they don't. It's money laundering. Yes. Well and but we know that the Chicoms are doing that with Obama with the credit cards. This is an old old scam. But of course.

Starting point is 00:56:15 They've done nothing to stop it. No. Are you crazy? No. We're not gonna do that. Everybody loves money. I only have one more clip and I want to move off of Kamala and Waltz because I'm very tired of it and it's all anyone seems to be talking about. But this is very weak. This shows an incredible weakness by the vice president when she is heckled by some pro-Palestine protesters during her speech, she, like Obama, I will say, although the media mainly cut most of his protest, his heckling out, we demonstrated that throughout the years,

Starting point is 00:56:58 that would never air, sometimes it went on for minutes. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Starting point is 00:57:11 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, That's interesting. Drinking my booze. You're in my house. Obama in my house. Here it is. Hey, listen. Hey, you're in my house. Hey. Shame on you. You shouldn't be doing this. We have a lot of jingles with that. I think the Batman is even funnier. Here we go. Hey. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. I've told you that you're in my house. If you're in the hors d'oeuvres and drinking the booze, we'll have to take you out to the Batmobile. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Atomic batteries. Where are these guys who make this stuff?

Starting point is 00:58:06 All right. Anyway, Kamala not as funny, but she cannot handle hecklers. Tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations. He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare. He intends to surrender our fight against the climate crisis. And he intends to end the affordable against the climate crisis and he intends to end the Affordable Care Act. You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win then say that otherwise I'm speaking.

Starting point is 00:58:37 So if you want Donald Trump to win say that otherwise I'm speaking. I have the microphone. What were they saying? They were saying, hey, hey, hey, ho, Kamala, you're a ho. They were? No, no, they were saying, you know, what's the chant? Is we see what you did. You know, it's basically telling her that she doesn't care about Palestine. That's what, it's very typical.

Starting point is 00:59:06 Well, this is going to be a great convention. It should be fun. But now that we've all seen that she can't handle hecklers without going all school marm on it, I'm pretty sure that there will be all kinds of people in the crowd now. That's what I would do. You know what I mean? Yeah, she doesn't have any heckler skills because she doesn't have to deal with them. Okay, I want to move to what I'm going to start calling the social media wars, because that's what it's

Starting point is 00:59:46 turning into and we need to switch over to the United Kingdom, where it's unbelievable to Americans, it's unbelievable what is taking place with these riots, which depending on where you stand are anti-immigration riots or far-right hooligans. Or race riots. Race riots, that's another good one. And this is quite the challenge for the new government. And if you recall, they had a meeting. That's where we left everything.

Starting point is 01:00:26 And here is the Prime Minister after the meeting, after the meeting, which they were going to have, they have a big meeting. And this is what came out of the big meeting. This morning, which was an opportunity that I took to thank the police for their work over the last few days, to express my support for the police officers who have been injured and the communities impacted by this mindless thuggery. There are a number of actions that came out of the meeting. The first is we will have a standing army of specialist officers, public duty officers,

Starting point is 01:01:01 so we'll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them. The second is we'll ramp up criminal justice. There have already been hundreds of arrests, some have appeared in court this morning. I've asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process who will feel the full force of the law. And thirdly, I've been absolutely clear that the criminal law applies online as well as offline, and I'm assured that that's the approach that is being taken. Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest. It is pure violence.

Starting point is 01:01:40 And we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities. So the full force of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part in these activities. In relation to the police, I'm absolutely clear that we will have the officers we need, where we need them to deal with this disorder. And that is why the Standing Army has been set up, ready to be deployed to support communities. On the question of prisons, firstly, we're monitoring it on a daily basis. I'm appalled that we've been put in this position by the previous government, that is even a discussion, it's even a question that you have to ask me me but we will make this work and ensure that we've got the places that are

Starting point is 01:02:28 needed to bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice so on both those fronts I'm confident that we can absolutely make sure that those engaged in this activity do feel the full force of the law. So there's a couple of things that really stand out here one One is the term standing army. You know this is what we would call a violation of habeas corpus in the United States. We have constitutional laws against deploying army and even calling it a standing army is quite severe and they have indeed been deployed. In Plymouth, on the south west coast of England, six people were arrested and several officers injured by projectiles and fireworks launched by far right crowds.

Starting point is 01:03:13 Police are warning that anyone participating in the riots will face prison time. We feel as community members deeply affronted by this completely unnecessary violent disorder. A conviction for violent disorder usually carries a hefty term of imprisonment. Prime Minister Keir Starmer says a standing army of 6,000 specialist officers has been put on duty to confront the unrest. Officials say much of it has been instigated by disinformation and hate speech being spread online. It's spread out across telegram channels, many of which were actually created in the

Starting point is 01:03:49 aftermath of COVID-19, where you saw anti-lockdown movements. Vaccine deniers. And have really been repurposed in recent years, in particular to target migrants. The riots broke out last Tuesday in the town of Southport near Liverpool, after internet users falsely blamed a mass stabbing attack that killed three young girls on a Muslim asylum seeker. Breaking protocol in a bid to counter the misinformation, a British court identified the arrested suspect as a 17-year-old citizen born in the UK to Christian parents from Rwanda.

Starting point is 01:04:21 So you see the move that's being made here is very, very clear. The move is, you know, they're targeting immigrants on social media. Oh, no. Oh, no, they're hurting their feelings on social media. Oh, no. This is a very deliberate act that is taking place here. This is the UK director of public prosecution. The offense of incitement to racial hatred involves publishing or distributing material which is insulting or abusive, which is intended to or likely to start racial hatred. So if you retweet that, then you're republishing that and then potentially you're committing that offense. And we do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look for this material and then follow up with identification arrests and so forth. So it's a

Starting point is 01:05:18 really, really serious people might think they're not doing anything harmful. They are and the consequences will be visited upon them. So, I mean it's mind-boggling but they are taking what's happening on the streets and people, you know, fighting and throwing stuff and burning stuff and rioting. They're now just completely focused on online, online, online, online. And if you say something hateful or something that hurts somebody's feelings and they complain about it, you will get arrested. This is a Brit who got arrested for posting a comment on Facebook.

Starting point is 01:05:55 The Times 22.3.14.40 arresting you on suspicion of improper use of the electronic communications network. What? 127 communications act, okay? So you do not have to say that it may harm your defense. Do you not mention one question, something which you later are in court, anything you do say may be given evidence.

Starting point is 01:06:16 Do you understand that? So I'm actually being arrested. You're going to be arrested, okay? Right. So you got to the police station. Right. Okay, this is in relation to some comments that you've made on the Facebook page. Oh really, I'll see a Facebook crime, is it?

Starting point is 01:06:31 Okay, so we need to ask you some questions about that. I mean, you said I was going to be arrested under some what? Information? I'm going to be arrested for posting on Facebook? Okay, so you just get arrested, they come to your house, they arrest you. Now for some insight on this, on what you can and cannot post, we turn to the Black Belt Barrister, who is very famous in the UK. He's a YouTuber and he has a little rundown of the issues here, which is all based on the UK Communications Law of 2003. Can you be prosecuted for just sharing contents of these riots online? I've been tagged a number of times now in response to the Sky News article regarding

Starting point is 01:07:35 the Director of Public Prosecutions about sharing contents of these riots, so let's take a little bit of a look at that in follow-up to my previous videos. If it were just a recording of the overall event and it wasn't one specific on one side or another, now that's difficult these days because some of these are very much one-sided, then if it were just a general video of the overall circumstances then that is less likely to be stirring up any kind of hatred. But if it was a very specific video with specific wording which is deliberately intended within that video to stir up hatred in the

Starting point is 01:08:10 first place and you're sharing it and it is likely to stir up that hatred in the same way, then by redistributing, republishing, you might well be committing that offence. Just as in a defamation case, if you republish a statement that was originally defamatory, you are republishing a defamation case, if you republish a statement that was originally defamatory, you are republishing a defamatory statement, you can then be liable for that defamatory statement yourself. So this very much is an offence, and there are, well, several offences, because under this section, the use of words or behaviour of written material or publishing or distributing written material or playing a recording or broadcast and so on.

Starting point is 01:08:46 And so as I said in my previous videos, they are obviously taking all of this very seriously. So my stark warning to you a couple of videos ago was just refrain from commenting. If you're not sure of what you're saying, refrain from reposting, retweeting, republishing, whatever videos that might well amount to this kind of offense. For people who come from the retweets are not endorsement land, that is not available to you as a defense in the UK. This is the line in the communications law of 2003.

Starting point is 01:09:20 Electronic communications which are grossly offensive or indecent, obscene or menacing or false for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to someone else. I mean, you might as well just turn off your computer. But well, the word annoyance is the key here. Of course. But that's not even necessary because this is how far they're going. This is the conversation now in the UK, in Britain. This is Good Morning Britain. Listen to this. calls for the big tech giants to take action. But should access be limited by government

Starting point is 01:10:07 police if riots happen in a place? What would that even look like? Well, the government could use what's called packet filtering. So that's when access to sites and specific content is blocked by internet service providers. But if they did that, it would be unprecedented here in the UK with restrictions like this only seen in authoritarian countries like North Korea, Russia and China. France's President Macron raised the idea as something that it might consider last year in response to riots there but it actually never materialized. So is it time to consider doing that here? We're joined now by broadcaster Rhea El-Salehi who thinks social media is vital to freedom of speech,

Starting point is 01:10:51 an entrepreneur and a villete who says a temporary shutdown could stop the spread of information. It might work. I think so. I think so. I think we should stop it. It's only a temporary measure in order to limit the spread of inflammatory information, misinformation as well, across the United Kingdom at this point. I think we should focus on keeping people safe and communities safe as well. So my point is to stop it. And I think we consider that in 2011 when David Cameron was a Prime Minister, he did consider in both the parliament at times when there's a need for it to occur. And as you mentioned before, France as well last year, as recent as July last year, President Macron mentioned that we should potentially consider that and for the protection of public

Starting point is 01:11:43 health, you know. that are and for the protection of public health. So they are massaging the British public into accepting this. Yeah, we should just shut it down. We should just shut down social media because it's dangerous. You're hurting people's feelings. You're being an annoyance. And then Elon Musk unclokes. And I'm starting to see the Elon Musk that I always thought he is, a man who wants great power.

Starting point is 01:12:07 And I think that he is moving. A lot of people think he's great. I don't think he's great at all. I don't like what he's doing. He is riling it all up and he's trying to be Mr. Big Man on campus. This is going to end in tears for us here in America too. Thousands of additional police are flooding British streets today after a week of race riots across the country. Far-right mobs have attacked people,

Starting point is 01:12:30 mosques, even immigration law offices. It's the biggest challenge today for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who took office just a month ago. Already he's in a standoff with Elon Musk about this issue. Is there any sense that these riots are organized? Do they appear to be organized in any way? The violence is organized in part by the English Defense League or EDL. It's an anti-Islam group that was thought to be defunct, but clearly is not. They're tapping into existing prejudices and amplifying them online. Elon Musk himself is playing a role in this. How so? What's he been saying? So, Musk, when he bought Twitter, he restored the accounts of some far-right figures who

Starting point is 01:13:09 had been banned, including one of the leaders of the English Defense League, a man who calls himself Tommy Robinson. He's a fascist who's been in and out of prison. He and Musk have been interacting on X, sharing conspiracy theories. Musk wrote to his nearly 200 million followers that a UK civil war is inevitable. And he's also been sort of taunting the prime minister here, Keir Starmer, online, accusing Starmer of having a two-tier policing system that treats white people unfairly. The UK government is pleading with Musk to use his platform responsibly.

Starting point is 01:13:43 Lives are at stake here. He, I mean, he's really, he's trying to make this about him, which is, I think is troubling. Well, I'm not buying this. I'm, I hate this. Oh, I said it, but you're taking Kara Swisher's approach to Elon. You should be very ashamed, very ashamed of what you're saying here. Not at all.

Starting point is 01:14:07 I'm not taking her approach. That's, that's, you know what? That's really insulting because I'm not done with my presentation. But if, if... Well, I'm taking it from the point I have to, I have to interrupt at some point. If the presentation goes for another hour and you kind of reverse course, maybe I would change my mind. But I'm not completely into the idea

Starting point is 01:14:32 that Elon is doing much more than just supporting his own platform. Yes. Because he's under attack. They're gonna pull the plug on his platform and probably Facebook too in the UK. And he's not happy about that. so he goes after the Prime Minister. When I say it's a social media war it's going to be who social media network runs in which country. If we look at

Starting point is 01:14:58 Turkey, although Good Morning Britain said oh it's like North Korea, no it's like Turkey. Elon Musk has been very very friendly to Erdogan and Erdogan has allowed Twitter to remain on. This is what it's about, to remain available in Turkey because Elon has censored accounts that the Turkish government at Erdogan wants him to censor. Those who weren't on board with Erdogan is the other social media company, Facebook. Digital fascism. That's what Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is calling Instagram's behavior. After what he denounced as censorship by the social media platform,

Starting point is 01:15:41 and implemented a nationwide ban since Friday. While the government didn't provide specific reasons, multiple Turkish media platforms attributed the ban to Instagram removing images locals posted paying homage to recently killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniye. These companies which promote all kinds of immorality, prostitution and support for terrorist organisations under the bracket of freedom, have openly declared war on the glorious resistance of the Palestinian people and their heroic sons in the virtual world. An estimated 50-60 million of Turkey's 85 million population subscribe to Instagram,

Starting point is 01:16:23 which serves as a platform for a wide range of commercial activities, raising concerns for many Turkish businesses. E-commerce experts predict the ban could be costing local businesses around 52 million euros per day. So only Facebook is banned and not Twitter. This is the game that Elon's playing and it's fine. You can say, Oh, Elon's great until he did until whatever interests him is not in line with you. What interests his, his being shut down, being no, this is money in this. There's money into getting rid of Facebook.

Starting point is 01:16:59 This is H.L. Hunt. This is this is H.L. Hunt had 600 radio stations. He didn't care if he lost money on that. Elon's business is rockets. This is a power play. And there's a second piece from NPR here. What is the UK government doing? So aside from deploying thousands more police, speeding up court appearances for suspects, the government has a special team flagging social media posts that incite violence. I've actually seen this anecdotally. People here want to show me something they saw on Facebook or TikTok and then it's been removed. People are being arrested for hate speech online, hate crime laws are being used, and the government

Starting point is 01:17:40 is looking at officially banning groups like the EDL, just like they do for terror groups abroad. So I think his whole play here is to get banned in the UK for power here in the US. You know, he's doing a very special interview with Donald Trump on Monday. And Trump is now even out there saying, well, you know, Elon Musk, he's now for me, so I can't be against electronic vehicles. What? What? That's where do you do that? Because the last time I heard Trump's speech, he still had his anti electric

Starting point is 01:18:14 car thing, he said, he said the Tesla was great, but he doesn't like electric cars. But so where's that specific thing you decided? He literally said he I'll tell you. Do you have a clip? No, there's no clip. I have an article. He says, I have no choice but to back EVs because Elon is on my side now. He literally, where did that appear? In the Guardian. It's from one of his speeches.

Starting point is 01:18:40 It's one of his speeches, John. Would you like me to stop the show and find it for you? Because I'm telling you I've been listening to his material and he's still anti-ev But my point is he's getting into bed with Elon Musk and I just don't think that's a good idea I Don't agree with that second part of this. That's what I'm sure. Yes, he is getting into bed with Elon Musk and that's not a good idea Because remember freedom of speech not freedom of reach You know if you think that that X is going to be any good as a publishing platform to get anywhere That's where you're mistaken. It's the bozo filter

Starting point is 01:19:22 That's what's going to be implemented and I just don't like it. I don't care if I'm for an issue or not. That is not the town square that he keeps touting. And then he sued this Garm initiative and they immediately disbanded. But that doesn't mean advertisers are coming back. They're not going to advertise. He told them to F off. It's obvious.

Starting point is 01:19:51 So I'm just saying people are all, people are all jacked up. Oh yeah. You know, it's good. I can post here. You are among them. Oh, it's so by the way, do you know? How else am I going to post just a casual thought on the Fediverse? Write a sub stack, man. Anything. Anything but that.

Starting point is 01:20:08 I do that too. Yeah, well, I'm for that. I'm for your own blog. You know me. It's just going to be useless. People think they're making a difference and you're not. Now, I'm not saying you can make a difference. I'm mastodon. I'm against microblogging in general. You know, Elon is also removing retweet and like counts. Why is he doing that, do you think? You only see how many impressions, because you can easily manipulate that.

Starting point is 01:20:37 That's why no one can see the impressions, but you can go in and see who retweeted and who liked. You see the like counts? He's removing them. This has been announced in your favorite magazine, PC Magazine. So all of this is to say that social media is now a war between who has the more power in which country and for what reason. And it's just not good. It's not good for our people, for the people listening.

Starting point is 01:21:08 Podcasts are still good. You know, your, your sub stack, I think is still good. What do you mean you think? Well, I, I, I, I've not investigated if, uh, if they limit that in any way. Well, they haven't. So, I mean, medium, I know they do for sure. Yeah. All of this stuff, all of this centralized stuff that's owned by

Starting point is 01:21:29 someone else is just no longer good as a place to, to, to, you know, to publish. If you think you're publishing something, you're not. Anyway, we have a rare... Well, the reason, the reason for using Substack is this more than just, you know, you could, you could put it on your own blog. Yeah. Sub stack will do promotions that you can't do with your own blog.

Starting point is 01:21:53 They will, they have a bigger, they have a bigger base. They have millions and millions of people. And if you produce something that they feel the obliged to, cause you say of all of a sudden you've decided to monetize, they want to make money off of your monetization, which is how they do it. They'll blow out your stuff so you get some more followers and readers.

Starting point is 01:22:15 You can't do that on an individual basis. You need the leverage. Okay, fine, fine. My point is these social media sites are highly manipulated for reasons that you don't know. And what you think is happening, what you think you're publishing, your opinion somehow matters. It doesn't. It doesn't. And a lot of people truly believe it. They're sitting four, five, some eight hours a day thinking they're making a difference. But what you're seeing, what other people are seeing is manipulated.

Starting point is 01:22:48 It's manipulated. It's not good. It's not healthy either. And I see you posting way too much. I'm concerned about you. I'm retweeting stuff. That is usually funny stuff. Soon will be illegal. I retweet the humorous stuff. That will be illegal. I don't think I'm making a difference.

Starting point is 01:23:07 I'm not deluded. No, you aren't. You aren't. Most people on social media, particularly X, who believe that that Elon Musk is the best thing ever and he's standing up for our rights, they are wrong. We're going to get hate speech sanctions here. You will, he is forcing our own government here into making, um, posting

Starting point is 01:23:31 on X not anonymous, you watch, put it in the book. Now I'd like to move to a counter- So let me make a note. A counter-narrative. One of our producers sent in a boots on the ground. He is a liberal from the UK. His girlfriend, his partner, organizes anti-protests against the rioters and pro-Palestine. And he is a no agenda listener. And I think it was interesting what he had to say and the audio wasn't bad, so I wanted

Starting point is 01:24:05 to play it. In the morning, although it's about five o'clock here, I hope this gets to you in time. I listened to the last show and I've been listening for God about 13 years now and I'm a 27 and very thankful for everything that you guys have done. You've made me who I am today. My girlfriend is an organizer with the Socialist Workers' Party, the SWP. So a lot of the Palestine demos and increasingly now a lot of the mobilization against the far right. She's, you know, she's at the spearhead of a lot of that. She went up to Liverpool and a few other demos in the north of England and you know honestly the people that are

Starting point is 01:24:45 there you have a few people that are obviously concerned about the immigration in this country I mean I do know I'm a family of immigrants Jamaican I'm a descendant of a Jamaican immigrant family in the 40s yeah these these people they have you know some of them valid concerns, but a lot of those people that are there are like football hooligans, she saw people with swastikas on 102, people doing Nazi salutes, people who really, I do feel, have hatred in their hearts, you know. So I think to claim that as a country that, you know, that

Starting point is 01:25:28 we're really sick and tired of this maybe isn't true. I am based in London in the metropolitan elite and, you know, I live in a very multicultural area, but a lot of these people that are really up in arms and upset are that way because of decades of, you know, disinvestment in the communities, not enough schools, not enough hospitals, um, you know, not any jobs because of how the Tories have treated this country, how, you know, how labor fucked up a lot of things as well. But, um, I definitely don't think that it's the fault of immigrants that. I just thought that was an interesting take.

Starting point is 01:26:07 That, uh, and it's more like America than I thought. Yeah, we don't like the borders being open, but the people in the North have just been ignored by all political parties. I would say that makes sense. I don't know about the swastikas and all that. I mean, yeah, whatever. And calling Tommy Robinson a, not that he did, but calling Tommy Robinson a fascist is going a bit far.

Starting point is 01:26:29 He just- Tommy Robinson, according to some of the people that I have over there, is a part of an, he's an agent of the government. He's an op. That's what I've heard too. Exactly. They bring him out when they need him. Well, we have Sir Brian of London runs his blog and talks to him all the time.

Starting point is 01:26:48 So maybe he can let us know what he thinks. I'm sure he will disagree that he's an op, but I can see why he would be seen that way for sure. So there's something much bigger happening here that is not contained to the UK. In fact, we had a dinner. It's kind of funny. This caterer in Revel Catering in Fredericksburg, the chef, Chef Max, he does these kind of like secretive invite only dinners and he'll do a special menu.

Starting point is 01:27:26 And this, there was a UT from Austin professor of neuroscience and math tenured, although he's pretty young, Thibault. He sat next to me and he said, Oh man, he's French. He says, you have no idea. France, zero freedom of speech. He says, if you step over the line, they will have unions come after you. They'll have trade organizations. You can't say anything, even as a professor. He says, it's outrageous. You can't do anything in France. And it's just like, it's a big, all of Europe, he says, is completely lost.

Starting point is 01:28:04 I believe it. It's like, it's a big, all of Europe, he says, is completely lost. I believe it. Well, this, everything that we've at least brought up so far in this analysis of yours, including the Elon stuff is all related to freedom of speech. Yes. All of it. And there has been, and this guy, Walls has come out and said, he's against freedom of speech. Yes. All of it. And there has been, and this, this guy walls has come out and say, and he's against freedom of speech. Yes. I think I have, uh,

Starting point is 01:28:31 I have that clip actually. Do you have that clip? I do not have that clip. Um, let me see. Video clip. I've seen it in a number of times. I retweeted it. I didn't get it from you. Okay. Let me see. I thought it, where was that? He literally said, uh, you don't have freedom of speech or you can't have freedom, but maybe you don't have it.

Starting point is 01:28:54 You shouldn't have freedom of speech if you are expressing an opinion that's not proven to be true misinformation. I'm sorry. I don't have it. What freedom of speech is really all about. Yeah, I don't, I don't have it. Which is what freedom of speech is really all about. Yeah, I don't have that. We'll get it for the next show. Yes, but I'm seeing that we're moving towards that here. You're gonna see this. This is going to be, well, look what happened in the UK. We've been moving toward this with the liberal governments, the progressives in particular. Yes. The cancel culture is an element of it. Big time.

Starting point is 01:29:28 And it's been going on. It's at the PC, the PC idea. Political correctness. Political correctness is, which goes back, the first time I heard the term was in 1981, I believe. And it's been, it's been in play for a long time. And political correctness is against free speech. This is not, not something we discovered on the show in the last 20 years. Not at all.

Starting point is 01:29:58 This is at least over 40 years old as a movement. And it's, and it's, it's And it's like, it eats away. Now in England, I guess, because they have their, I don't know what's wrong with them. They've just taken it right to the edge, to the precipice. And like your friend from France said, it's already taking place in most of Europe. So free speech is now, you have to call it quirky.

Starting point is 01:30:28 It's unusual anywhere in the world. It's kooky. It's kooky. And it will not last. What, free speech? You cannot control a population if you have free speech. Oh, well, it's... You actually need hate speech to get anywhere. Yeah. Well, I don't know if we've been noticing this here, that hate speech, you know, there's

Starting point is 01:30:51 hate speech. There's no actual law, but that's, oh man, I can't believe we don't have that clip of a... And funny, the hate speech is, most of the hate speech I hear is people hating on Trump. But that does, that's okay. That's okay. So somehow that's okay. He didn't have Trump or JD Vance and, and the phony couch anecdote is hating on him. For some reason you can hate in one direction, the one direction only.

Starting point is 01:31:22 Yes. Yes. In one direction, in one direction only. Yes. Yes. President Biden is going to do a CBS interview. You've got to wonder why. I think it comes out on Monday. So right before the, wait, when is the, that's not, when does the DNC start?

Starting point is 01:31:43 See, the 7th or the 9th, I think. Of what? It can't be the 7th. No, that was yesterday. It can't be the 9th. No, it can't. Look it up. There we go. Let's see. Does anyone in the troll room know? These guys are no good.

Starting point is 01:32:04 It starts the 19th. The 19th. Okay, there was a nine involved. Yeah. By the way, it was Tony Blair who was the prime minister when that 2003 law was put in play. Yes. And it's amazing that it really hasn't been used until now, but they were very smart. They put in social media right there.

Starting point is 01:32:27 Said, here's all the things you can't do. This is a teaser that was put out of this CBS interview with President Biden, a gaffe of epic proportions. The US President Joe Biden has said in an interview with CBS News that he's not confident at all there will be a peaceful transfer of power to Kamala Harris if Donald Trump loses November's election. Now it's his first interview since he pulled out of the race. They've released a clip early ahead of the full interview which is to come at the weekend.

Starting point is 01:32:59 Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025. If Trump wins, no, I'm not confident at all. I mean, if Trump loses, I'm not confident at all. I mean, come on. It's like the truth wants to come out, Joe. It's obvious. If Trump wins, I agree. There's going to be mayhem.

Starting point is 01:33:24 You know it. Now, why, the question is weird, because, weird, I agree. There's going to be mayhem. You know it. Now, the question is weird. I used it. You didn't say anything. I'm sorry. I barely had time. You caught yourself. It's good.

Starting point is 01:33:34 The question is odd because what are they talking about? A peaceful transfer of power? Biden is the one in office that has to be transferring the power. Yes. So why would one in office that has to be transferring the power. Yes. So why would you ask him that? In other words, Joe, are you going to stay in power if whatever happens at the election is going to be peaceful transfer of power in 2025? That's pretty much what he said.

Starting point is 01:33:59 It's almost like a trick question. That's pretty much what he said. I mean, but why? Why is he even doing an interview? That's pretty much what he said. I mean, but why? Why is he even doing an interview? This is... Yeah, there's something up with that. You met the thesis that he's gonna like throw his hat back in the ring at the in the first day of the convention, which he's speaking of the first day, is funny. I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't think he's got the nerve to do it. Let alone, I just don't think he has the strength of will at this point Oh, I have the but I like the idea. I have the Waltz clip for you. Here it is. Waltz clip

Starting point is 01:34:34 I think we need to push back on this there There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or or hate speech and especially around our democracy. I think we need You can't do that. You can't. You're misinformation. And hate speech. He put that in there specifically. He put hate speech in, yeah. Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. Hello? Yeah, well... So you can't hate on anybody. They can hate on Trump all they want, but I guess you can't hate on anybody. You can't say, that they want, but I guess you can't hate on anybody.

Starting point is 01:35:05 You can't say that guy sucks, stinks. I can't wait to see. You can't hate a baseball team that keeps losing. You can't hate a football player that you don't like. You can't hate your ex-wife. Let me ask you a question. What? What?

Starting point is 01:35:17 Let me ask you a question. Could you argue as a constitutional lawyer, could you argue that hate speech is of course allowed, but that when the constitution was written, now this is one of those, you know, they didn't have AR-15s back in the day. But you could only cannon, hello. But can you argue that when that was written, that the right to free speech shall not be infringed, that that was never anonymous back in the day because you didn't have anonymity in speech? You did if you were a pamphleteer. Okay, all right, there you go.

Starting point is 01:36:01 That's bull crap. In fact, if you look back in the, in the era in the 1800s, the amount of hate speech back in the day when it came to political candidacies was off the rails compared to what we're doing. Yeah. It's been tamped down. Before we take a break,

Starting point is 01:36:20 this came out on Sunday when we were doing the show, this interview with, with your guy, Byron Donalds, with George Stephanopoulos. Did you see this? I did. I think it was, I think Stephanopoulos personally, even though the media thinks, oh, what a great job of taking down Biden. I think he made a fool out of himself.

Starting point is 01:36:40 Just bringing in Republican Congressman and Trump ally, Byron Donalds. Congressman, thank you for joining us this morning. Why is former President Trump questioning the Vice President's racial identity? Well, first, George, in Chicago, he was responding to a question from, I believe, Rachel Scott. This is really a phony controversy. I don't really care. Most people don't. But if we're going to be accurate, when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate it was AP that said she was the

Starting point is 01:37:06 first Indian American United States senator it was actually played up a lot when she came into the Senate now she's running nationally obviously the campaign has shifted they're talking much more about about her father's heritage and her black identity but yes he did mention it in Chicago in response to a question from Rachel Scott. And you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn't matter, why do you all keep questioning her? Slur?

Starting point is 01:37:30 Slur? Slur? So being an Indian American is a slur? Indian heritage is a slur? Is that what St. Bonavilus is saying? And you couldn't get off of it. He could not let it go. No, he got stuck on it.

Starting point is 01:37:43 And you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn't matter why do you all keep questioning her identity? She's always identified as a black woman, she is biracial. She has a Jamaican father and Indian mother, she's always identified as both. Why are you questioning that? Well George first of all this is something that's actually a conversation throughout social media right now. There are a lot of people who are trying to figure this out.

Starting point is 01:38:05 But again, that's a side issue, not the main issue. The main issue is terrible, terrible dog. Sir, one second. You just did it. You just did it again. What did he do? I can't figure out what is George Stephanopoulos hearing that we're not hearing. He just did it again?

Starting point is 01:38:19 I felt the same way when I heard this clip. The United States. Why do you insist on questioning her racial identity? You want me to talk? I want you to answer my question. George, George, now that you're done yelling at me, let me answer. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. George is going to yell at the black man.

Starting point is 01:38:38 There's got to be a law against that. I know you guys like to glom on to this that he talks about in jest or in a serious manner for about a minute or so but what you do not cover is the litany of failures of Kamala Harris. That's what you're not covering George. So questioning somebody's racial identity for a couple minutes is okay. George, I'm gonna tell you again, he brought it up. AP is the one that wrote the headline when she first came in to the United States Senate. Didn't talk about her being black, talked about her being the first Indian American Senator.

Starting point is 01:39:11 AP brought that up. I mean, George, we can have this conversation for the entire segment, but none of this matters to the American people. If it doesn't matter, I don't understand why you keep on repeating it, why the president keeps on repeating it, why those introducing the president yesterday keep on repeating it. George, actually, I'm not the one who keeps repeating it. George, you're the one that's bringing it up now. That's you. I don't understand why you're not bringing it up.

Starting point is 01:39:30 Sir, you've done it three times. Every single answer you gave me, now let me finish, sir. George, you asked me. You asked me, George. That's why I'm pushing back on you now. George, you asked me the question three times. I responded, but I'm also about what really matters in this. And every single time you repeat the slur, that is exactly my point the slur can't say that it's wrong George so then what you're saying so then what you and I want to get off this topic because it's not the only thing that's going on but George now you're saying that AP is the one that slurred Kamala Harris because those are the facts you can go to the internet and look at the clips George if you want to or we can talk

Starting point is 01:40:00 about this now I prefer to talk about the future of our country. It's amazing. What's amazing is here's this tiny white guy arguing with a black guy about a woman who claims she's black when... and we should define black to say ADOS or foundational black or whatever, but you know, but not what he's doing. It's... this is insanity on the airwaves. AP did not say that Kamala Harris is not black. She is biracial.

Starting point is 01:40:29 She is Indian. She is black. You continue to repeat the fact that you continue to repeat the slur. I don't understand why you and the president do it, but it's clear you're not gonna say that it's wrong. And you've now established that for our audience. Trump also said at the convention

Starting point is 01:40:44 that he would pardon January 6th riders. Everybody look for themselves. Let's move on. I've already said that. Go ahead. Everybody let's move on. There we go. Go on and repeat the slurs again.

Starting point is 01:40:55 And he repeats they didn't do anything. This is people here insanity. It's mental illness. By the way, I made a big boo boo on the last show explaining the one drop rule. I said it exactly the wrong way around. The one drop rule, I said if you have one drop of whiteness, you're not black. It was exactly the other way around. The one drop rule.

Starting point is 01:41:18 I thought you said it right. No, I did not. No, it was the other way, which is when I made the reference to the show, uh, to the, to the stage play showboat. Yes. I, I stood up the wrong way around. Which punchline was that, you know, there was a one drop of black blood. Yes. I, I, but I explained it the wrong way. I went back. Oh, I didn't hear you. I obviously zoned out. So I should have called you on it.

Starting point is 01:41:41 And why not? I'll just explain it properly. The one drop rule was invented to declare that legally a person was not white as long as they had one drop of black blood in them. That's the correct way. That was part of the Jim Crow laws, et cetera. So anyway, we'll go- Well, I'm still fascinated by Stepanopoulos insanity. It's meant to be taken off the air.

Starting point is 01:42:08 It's meant to be. And what is this slur? What was the slur? You're not black. So that's a slur. Yes. Wait, so being not being black is a slur now. If you say you're not black, like what Byron should have said as well, was it a slur then when Joe Biden said, if you don't fight for me, you ain't, you don't vote for

Starting point is 01:42:28 me, you ain't black. That would have been a real slur then, which I think it actually was. Byron, I'm sure I like this guy a lot. I think he's terrific, but I think he was flat-footed because this was out of the blue. It was was you weren't prepared for this kind of insanity. If you were, you would have had a million comebacks, but he didn't have any. He was just trying to push the guy away. Yeah, it was weird. It's like a madman coming at you.

Starting point is 01:42:56 Very weird. Well, with that, I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the Facebook crime, say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr. John C. DeVorek. Shows running too long. And in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry in the Morales ship, sea boots on the ground, feeding the air subs to the water, dammit it's night out there.

Starting point is 01:43:18 Let's count those trolls. We're late. It's my fault we're late. We're late. We're late. It's my fault. We're late. We're late. We're 1917. It's down. Trolls are down. But there's still almost 2000 trolls, which I always find amazing. 2000 trolls listening live, which you can do at trollroom.io.

Starting point is 01:43:39 It's a brand new website. You can listen to the live stream 24 seven. You can troll along. You can log in. You can listen to the live stream 24 seven, you can troll along, you can log in, you can post stuff, you can you don't have to log in. And it's all pretty much anonymous. I mean, it's one of the last places podcasts and troll rooms. That's all the only place you can still be a troll say whatever you want. All freedom of speech allowed here as far as I know. I can't I can't even kick anybody off anymore. I

Starting point is 01:44:03 don't have the power. No, the power has been removed from me. Why? I don't know. I used to be able to just kick someone off and then, you know, and then they can come back, you know, I wouldn't ban anybody, but you know, I like kick them off. Just funny. I don't know. I'll have to talk to void zero. Maybe, uh, maybe you overstep my powers. It's been removed. Maybe I'm not doing it right. Isn't it slash kick and then you do the name?

Starting point is 01:44:27 I don't know. I don't use that thing. You should. I know you pop in from time to time. You check out the Troll. You've said it on the last show. You've been in there checking out. I have been in there, but it was usually during somebody else's show.

Starting point is 01:44:40 Yes. Well, that makes sense. Darren's show probably. You're probably in there. Oh, yeah, Darren. I. Darren Show probably. You're probably in there. Oh yeah, Darren. I'm a big fan. You can also check out the Troll Room. He doesn't play enough ACDC.

Starting point is 01:44:50 That's the way I see it. You can also check out the Troll Room by using a modern podcast app. There's many that you can use. The cool thing about it is you get an alert when we go live. So you get the bat signal in your app and then you can listen live. None of the legacy apps can do this. And as you see hate speech, maybe not laws, but hate speech actions being taken, it happens three or four times a day. There's a podcast kicked

Starting point is 01:45:20 off of Apple or off of Spotify. So do you know, do with it what you want. But if you like your podcast that you listen to, no matter what they say, the modern podcast apps are the way to go. It's one of the last places it still can be done. That and your own blog and maybe sub stack. Even though Elon defeated the Garm. Hold on, let me see what... Mark said...

Starting point is 01:45:49 I praise him for that. That operation was a scam. Yeah, but the American Federation of Advertisers is still there. They haven't gone anywhere. They just disbanded Garm. He's not going to get any advertising. That's obvious. Why would he? You know, advertisers don't want controversy. That's why we never, what are you eating? A lozenge.

Starting point is 01:46:12 That's why we never took advertising. We knew that it would just result in meetings and annoyances, which is technically illegal in the UK. You can't annoy me with your meeting, advertiser. So we knew it wouldn't work. So we said, you know what, why don't we just go for a value for value model? We put it out on even Patreon. People think, oh, Patreon is value for value.

Starting point is 01:46:31 No, it isn't. Because if you do something somewhere else, not even on your own podcast and Patreon hears about it, they will kick you off. They will kick you off and sometimes even hold onto your money, which is horrible. Well, that's illegal. Yeah well they can give you 90 days or something. There's something weird that they can do if they have your money. It's not you can't fight it.

Starting point is 01:46:53 It's hard to fight the man in that way. So we decided hey give us time, talent, treasure, anything that adds up to something that helps the show and of course. Yeah anything that's about one-tenth of what we would have made if we were commercial. Well, yeah, that's true. That's true. We can always go commercial. I mean, podcast one wants us. We could probably make more. I mean, we could make more. I think we can make more by syndicating on the TV. I think that idea is something worth... Well, I think...

Starting point is 01:47:23 Mimi insisted that we follow up. Well, I sent you a whole thing about it. You didn't even respond to me. I didn that idea is something worth, Mimi insisted that we follow up. Well, I sent you a whole thing about it. You didn't even respond to me. I didn't see it. No. I respond. Because I contacted the former Disney guy about this, but I thought would be the perfect guy. Yeah. What did he say? He hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Starting point is 01:47:44 Thanks. No, but he- Set me up. Well, then you would... Thanks. No, but he... Set me up. He used to do all the deals for Disney. He would do all the cable deals. And we happen to know that the prices that you get per household, what? What we can't talk about?

Starting point is 01:47:59 Yeah, no. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. We got a spreadsheet that has all of them on it and it's like outrageous. I mean, Turner Classic Movies, what do they get per household? Buck and a half.

Starting point is 01:48:11 150. Now, MTV gets a buck, more than a buck. There's some things that are, you know, it goes down. Most of them are like three cents. Yeah, I would say about, we could probably get about 30 cents per subscriber. And I got a lot of people saying they would be more than willing to hike their skirts to get clearances on these big cable, uh, cable outfits.

Starting point is 01:48:31 So we've got the, we've got the bribes and, uh, and I'll turn on my camera. Well, you know what the interesting thing is, is that for people, by the way, the guy, we got an anonymous spreadsheet from somebody in the business and the one that's the, the one that's really stands out like a sore thumb is ESPN. Oh, isn't it like seven bucks or some crazy?

Starting point is 01:48:57 $10 a head. Yeah. And whether you have it or not, I think. No, I think you have to have it. And the funny thing is I think is what's amusing to people who watch ESPN, because people that are on ESPN every so often moan about being on ESPN too. ESPN gets 10 bucks a head, and I think ESPN too is like two or three dollars or less.

Starting point is 01:49:22 It's like, oh, okay, it's just the ESPN. Well, hold on. Let me bring up the spreadsheet for a second. This will blow people's minds. So just so you know, the way it works is these cable company pays the networks. So let's see. Bravo. For carriage. Yeah, for carriage. So Bravo, 58 cents per household. Bravo. Bravo. That's nothing. The cooking channel, 27 cents. You really think we could do 33?

Starting point is 01:49:56 Well, we can do at least 27. Yeah, well, let me see. What's low? Nickelodeon gets a buck 89. So all you need is a million people. We're swimming in dough. We could be giving every, we could give the trolls money back. I know you don't like that idea, but I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Well, if they hike their skirt, yeah. By the way, only the girls, not the men. If you hike your skirt, you're in.

Starting point is 01:50:22 No hiking your skirt, you're in. No hiking your skirt, you're in. You're in. Here, Oprah. Oprah makes 38 cents. Oprah own. Oprah makes 38 cents. Nobody watches own. No, of course. Magnolia, 27 cents. Nobody watches these networks.

Starting point is 01:50:36 Go to some of the ones they watch. Look up ESPN. ESPN. ESPN has multiple channels, which is kind of the way to go. I can tell. So ESPN HD $10.35, ESPN 2 $1.97, and then ESPN News, no one cares about that. That's seven and a half cents. ESPN NU, what is that? What is NU? I used to know what that is, but I don't, I don't remember.

Starting point is 01:51:03 That's 29. Yeah. The Food Network gets 65 cents. So, and you know, and my whole thinking of when we came up with this idea. Yeah, 65 cents is not bad. We came up with this idea is that everyone's cutting cable. You know, people are running away, they're going to the streamers. Now, I don't think that cable will be around for a long time, but it's diminishing. Decades. And if we say, hey, we're the hit podcast guys. We can do, I sent you V for VTV. That's what I sent you. You probably didn't like it. No, I thought it was a nice, it has a nice ring to it.

Starting point is 01:51:39 V for VTV.com. Yeah. It'd be perfect. Yeah, we'll talk about this more. Okay. Because that spreadsheet is an eye opener. It is an eye opener. And what's funny about it, I want to, I mentioned, I sent a note back to the guy with this comment, which is I remember the early days, the early days of cable was never called cable. It was called CCTV.

Starting point is 01:52:00 Yes, indeed. I remember. Community something television. And people would set up these systems and they would they would get they would in other words if you're like a look you have three local stations and you wanted but you got to fringe areas where Nobody even with an antenna could pick it up you'd put up a a cable system up there or CCTV and you play your local stations up there in the middle of nowhere and And you'd play your local stations up there in the middle of nowhere. And the stations would pay the cable operators for the extra coverage. Because now they had more reach and so they'd move their ads and sell more ads.

Starting point is 01:52:36 And so I don't know what year it changed, but at some point it flipped. And I think it was beginning with HBO. HBO, who do $10. HBO said, we're not going to be broadcasting anything, but it's a premium and you could probably lure more people into your system if you play our movies and you just have to give us a little bit of money. Was HBO on that list by the way? Yeah, but it's $10, but that was direct billing. So you have to pay extra.

Starting point is 01:53:07 Yeah, it's different. It's not a part of you. But the question, so I think we can, I can probably convince Joe, we'll have to give him millions, but you know, it's all right. It'll be Joe. No, you get some piece of the action, stock. Yeah, stock. Options, warrants. We'll give him warrants. We'll give him stock. We'll give him a straight up stock. No, he will want money. We have to pay him money. He might like stock. He doesn't need any extra money in the day era of high taxes.

Starting point is 01:53:32 I'm telling you, he's not going to do it unless we give him money. Yeah, you're going to have to give him money. But, you know, who else do you want on the show? I mean, do you want to judge Knapp? I don't know who Judge Knapp is. Napolitano. Oh, maybe. Why not? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:53:51 How about Brett Weinstein? And Heather? Now you're stretching it. They can do overnights. There's a lot of, there's, the selection is- Hi, I'm Heather Weinstein. Welcome to our, welcome to V for VTA overnights. We'll give them the two AM slot.

Starting point is 01:53:59 We'll give them the overnights. Hi, I'm Heather Weinstein. Welcome to our, welcome to V for VT. We'll give them the two AM slot. We'll give them the overnights. Tim Poole, I think we should have the Poole boy on. He would rake him in. He would do it too. But you promised me, we're going to go video so we can be on this too. We have to be on this.

Starting point is 01:54:22 I think we have to have a version on this, an hour show. Oh, that sounds like extra work. I didn't sign up for that. You could be part of the other show. We should just do this show. Just do it, just go live with camera. Just the camera. You can wear a mask. Think of the money, John. Think of the money. Until that time, we are very grateful. Here's the other problem. We can't chew up, like what was our last show time? Three and a half hours.

Starting point is 01:54:54 Of course we can. People love that stuff. What do you mean we can't chew that up? Yak, yak, yak for three and a half hours. Okay, well maybe. But the idea overall is solid. Think of the money. And it doesn't get us off the air because people are always worried about our crazy ideas making us quit. This way we can't quit. That's right. We can't quit because it'll just be too good. They'll be too good. In

Starting point is 01:55:19 the meantime, we plod along. So anybody with ideas, we're open for business. We're open for idea business. I did get a thing today from one guy who's been in the video business for a while. Hey, all we need to do is get on one cable system and we're good to go. I mean, what do we really need? We got bumpers, we have people creating art. We can have, I mean, we have an entire, and we can pay people. Hey, thanks.

Starting point is 01:55:44 Boom, here's some money. Think about it. Don't get carried away. art, we can have, I mean, we have an entire, and we can pay people. Hey, thanks, boom, here's some money. Think about it. Don't get carried away. Okay. I'm all jacked. Because the thing is about this volunteerism that we have is a big deal. There it is. No, I'm saying that because I, some years ago, I'll give you this story. Yeah, but if we're raking in dough, then people will want a piece of the action. We're not going to be raking in that much. We're just going to be making a little more than we're making. We're going to give them stock. Stock? Stock. Yes, definitely stock.

Starting point is 01:56:12 Yeah, stock. Okay. But no commercials. I don't want commercials. We'll make it a corporation. Yeah. No commercials. Put out a bunch of shares out there and give people stock. And then when somebody buys us, everybody will clean up. Yeah, now you're talking. All right. In the meantime, we're only going to thank our artists because we do love them and they do great work for us. And they upload every single show during the live broadcast to noagendaartgenerator.com. And we chose Francisco Scaramanga's artwork for episode 1683,

Starting point is 01:56:47 The Rainbow of Rockets was the title. There was some descent amongst the ranks. People thought that shrimp deal would have been a better title. Now that I think about it, it might have been funny. One of those shrimp deals. It was fine. Yeah. And we chose Joe Biden, President Joe Biden, although we were not happy with Scaramanga's rendering of Biden.

Starting point is 01:57:09 It wasn't a great look, but you could tell it was him. And he was on the airplane looking for the bathroom. Yeah. It was good. It's funny. It's funny. You know, it was funny. Scaramanga, of course, a Dutch master.

Starting point is 01:57:23 They always reignigned supreme. Was there anything else that we consider? Well, there were a lot of rainbow. I liked the Apple guy with the Macintosh on his head talking to the girl. Yeah, you used that for the newsletter. I did, because it was a good piece. I didn't like it as much as Biden. No, he didn't like it at all. Let's face it. You tried to call in a chit, which is illegal.

Starting point is 01:57:42 It was a Matthew Dropko piece and it was very funny. It was AI, hello. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I kind of like comic strip bloggers. And at least Scaramonger's piece looked like it might've been hand done. Yeah, it might be. I don't think so, but it might be.

Starting point is 01:57:55 Well, he's an artist. He actually can crank stuff out, but he also likes to use AI a lot. Yeah. So, you don't know. Yeah, for cheesecake stuff. Dirty Jersey whore did I want my no agenda and I want my MTV logo.

Starting point is 01:58:12 Nestworks also did a cut the cable. A lot of people picked up on the idea of our own cable channel with some of the artwork. Was there anything else? I don't think anything else came close. I guess they did. We had the HHI index by Nestworks with Kamala coconut fallen over with the legs in the air. Yeah. I think that the show itself didn't lend itself to great art ideas like the

Starting point is 01:58:39 Kamala's crackers in the previous episode. And I think today's show is going to be the same. I can tell you right now that everything I see artwork wise is not turning me on for today's show. There's one piece I think is acceptable. Mm, well. And by the way, the folksy thing, this picture of Kamala and this is from America, American Gothic,

Starting point is 01:59:03 it's an old painting with a guy and his wife. Who's this guy she's standing next to? Hey, drop go. What is that? Who is that person? Yeah. Yeah. I mean the Camila on the left, the left one looks, does look like Camila, but this guy looks like some, I don't know what that is. Some accountant from Price Waterhouse. It doesn't look like anything. Thank you to our artists. Thank you, Francisco Scaramanga.

Starting point is 01:59:27 We appreciate the work that all of our artists do. And we always look forward to it. It's a great way to end the show. And I would say there's still opportunities for anybody who wants to come in and swoop. Now we want to thank our executive and associate executive producers. We love all the producers who support us financially

Starting point is 01:59:43 with their treasure. It's incredibly important to keep the show going. We don't have a cable network yet. Anybody who sends any amount, that's how Value for Value works. We can't look at your pocketbook. So you may be given up $5, might be a lot for you. We appreciate that.

Starting point is 01:59:58 We love you just as much as someone who has a lot of money and can become an executive producer. Anybody, by the way, over time can become a night or a day and receive one of those coveted night rings. We have title changes and nights today so that's good and we kick it off with our associate executive producers. $200 above we read your note and you get a credit that is good as an official show business credit. You can even open an IMDB with it and $300 above you're an executive producer and we read your note as well. We kick it off with Sir Shwoo of the six strings From Franklin, Tennessee who doesn't know as a guitar player for Mercy Me

Starting point is 02:00:36 That's one of my favorite bands. Hello, Jensei says Hoping this donation will help put the sad puppy back in its kennel. Yes The sad puppy has been out and roaming around. I neglected to cover the fees on my last two day donations of $333.33. So, because I hate math, I decided to round up enough to cover all of them and not worry about it. The.88, because he gave us $400.88, is of course to celebrate JCD and the Mrs. Anniversary. In the newsletter, John suggested the shows are getting too long and you should just talk faster.

Starting point is 02:01:08 How is that different than listening at two times speed? Seems like a mixed message. No jingles, no karma, just keep the greatness coming. That's Mike aka Sir Schwo of the Six Strings and he says, iPhone to blame for all the typos. Well, I didn't see any typos. Thank you, brother. Appreciate it. Blame in the iPhone.

Starting point is 02:01:29 Sir Chris and Walnut Creek over here with $350 and 94 cents says, thank you for your courage and the excellent media deconstruction. Here's wishing John and Mamie a happy 36th. By the way, if you notice I said it was, I have to go inside stuff here. That's okay. So I sent a newsletter to Adam to have him fix it, you know, or check for typos. Did I do something weird? Did you do something weird? No, no. I left out the anniversary stuff. I know you did. And I was so happy when I saw it because Tina said, oh, it's John and Mimi's

Starting point is 02:02:07 anniversary. I'm like, oh crap, he didn't put it in the newsletter. Then I saw the newsletter come in and I was happy again. What happened was I was talking to Mimi because she's coming down. And she said, hey, by the way, did you buy me something? And it dawned on me that I'd done the newsletter the night before. I said, oh, what an idiot Because that's what I don't need. We've dropped the ball on so, we, me,

Starting point is 02:02:28 dropped the ball on so many of these things. It's like, Oh my God. Cause it's on the day too. Today is the day. Without sending another copy to you, I just filled it, put it in there and I dropped something from that section. Well, leave it to the girls to remember. Leave it to the girls to remember that stuff. Yeah, it did. It did save the show. Anyway, sir. Chris continues.

Starting point is 02:02:55 The lovely Dame Kristen and I are celebrating our 26th anniversary today as well. And they had a fight. Beautiful. She's my soulmate, best friend, and I feel lucky to have her by my side every day. Love you, bird. All the best, Sir Chris of Carmel by the Seas. Although he's in Carmel, but he's got Walnut Creek on his account. Sir Diggy is in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Starting point is 02:16:53 Just shut up. I have a presentation on Hamas. Oh, the Hamas guy. Yes. This is getting weirder by the day. It's getting weirder by the day and it's not going to resolve itself anytime soon from what I can tell. What's going on? There's a lot of noise. It'll be just in time for the Democratic National Convention.

Starting point is 02:17:12 What's this noise in the background all of a sudden? Someone vacuuming? What, that noise you're hearing? Yeah. Garbage truck going up the street. Oh, okay. All right, garbage truck. I don't know why they have to make so much noise. Or why they have to do it on Thursday Well, they do it every Thursday. Okay. I don't know what that usually earlier than this

Starting point is 02:17:30 I don't know what that trucks doing. Yeah, it sounds like a drone circling your house By the way, this has to do with the new Hamas guy that took over and I have two clips and then an analysis With the four more clips. Okay, so you have you'll know a lot when you're done here Let's start with the new Hamas. Okay. So you have, you'll know a lot when you're done here. Let's start with the new Hamas guy is the old Hamas guy. All right. Turning our attention now to the Middle East. Hamas has named Yaya Sinwar as its new political leader

Starting point is 02:17:56 and Turkey is seeking to join South Africa's lawsuit against Israel. NTD's Fiona G has the latest updates and what they mean for the region. Turkey has requested to join South Africa's lawsuit against Israel in the International Court of Justice. The lawsuit accuses Israel of genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Turkey is the latest nation seeking to join the lawsuit behind Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Libya and Palestinian officials. It is now waiting for the court's approval. Turkey's leadership has been an outspoken critic against Israel's war in Gaza. Meanwhile, reactions to Yahya Sinwar's appointment as the new Hamas leader continue.

Starting point is 02:18:36 On Wednesday, White House National Security Advisor John Kirby said, quote, the man is a terrorist. He has an awful lot of blood on his hands. He's a terrorist! This guy was the architect of the 7th of October attacks in Israel, and some of that blood on his hands is American blood. A spokesperson for the State Department said Sinwar has always called the shots for Hamas, even before the death of former leader Ismael Haniyeh.

Starting point is 02:19:00 Ultimately, it was Sinwar that had the final decision-making authority, as we could see throughout these negotiations, on whether to accept a ceasefire or not. So yes, Sinwar absolutely ought to be brought to justice, we believe that, for his significant acts of terrorism. And we also think he ought to accept the ceasefire deal. All right, so just so I understand, we're talking about the guy that's replacing the guy that got blown up in Iran, right? Yes. Okay. All right.

Starting point is 02:19:30 Yahya is his name. Yahya is the new guy. Yahya. Yahya. Yahya. Yahya. Yahya. Yahya.

Starting point is 02:19:35 Yahya. Yahya. Yahya. Yahya. Yahya. All right. This is part two of that clip which I got too misspelled as Y-W-O-Y. That's okay. I got you, bro. The Israeli military's chief of staff called Sinwar a murderer

Starting point is 02:19:50 and said that Israel is ready to hurt its attackers. The new Hamas leader is at the top of Israel's kill list. Some Gaza residents are also disheartened by the news. Speaking to CNN, they say there has been too much death and they just want the war to end. Others rejoiced at the news. In Yemen, university students rallied in support of Sinwar. Iran and the Hezbollah terrorist group congratulated Hamas and Sinwar.

Starting point is 02:20:15 Experts say Sinwar is more extreme than his predecessor and his appointment could point Hamas to a more hard-line stance. Hey, why does, this is NTD I believe, why do they not say turquay? Are they not all in on that? They don't like saying turquay? That's a good point. I'm just kind of missing it. I think a harsh note would be in order. Yes, you should send them one.

Starting point is 02:20:36 Alright, so that's... So now we got this guy and the thing that I know... He's worse, this guy's worse, he's worse. But he's been running it all along, that's the joke. Ah, I see. So how's worse. He's worse. But he's been running it all along. That's the joke. How's he worse? So the other point is, is that these guys are pretty, pretty blatant about, uh, no trial. We were going to kill him. We, us, our guys,

Starting point is 02:21:02 this guy's a dead man. Dead man walking. Now we have an analysis that I do. One of the reasons I like NTDs, so they really have good and different analysts. Yeah, we should put them on a new cable channel. They have their own. They've got their own cable channel. How much money do they make per household? That's a good question. I wonder if it's even... Oh, no, they... actually, they don't do cable. They do over the air... Oh, losers. ...seconds. They don't know that...

Starting point is 02:21:34 We should do that too, by the way. They don't have one of our deals, man. They don't get it. Yeah. Okay. All right. Most favorite nation's thing is this stupid rule about cable. that doesn't let you do a lot of stuff. So here's new Hamas guy analysis one. Earlier, we spoke with Gabriel Nerona, a former State Department advisor on Iran, about Hamas's decision to name Yahya Sinwar as its new political leader. Yahya. Nerona is also the executive director of Polaris National Security and a fellow at the Jewish

Starting point is 02:22:02 Institute for National Security of America. Now, Yahya Sinwar was the architect of the October 7th terror attack on Israel. What does Hamas selecting him as the new leader, political leader, mean for the ongoing ceasefire negotiations? Well, this is a consolidation of power within Hamas into Sinwar. He was always the key decision maker for these ceasefires, for the prisoner exchange deals. And so instead of having Haneeah negotiate them

Starting point is 02:22:31 and try to relay messages from Sinwar, now it's all concentrated in one person. That is good in one sense in that it actually simplifies the decision making and negotiating process. It also means that if and when I think Sinwar gets killed by Israel, it's going to make it a lot more difficult for Hamas to move on. They are again putting all the power in one place. This isn't going to change too much, I think, in terms of whether their policy changes,

Starting point is 02:23:00 how they approach things is different. It's just going to make things a lot harder. You have one person trying to do two jobs, if not more now. Did we know that Yahya was the guy behind October 7th? Did we know that already? I don't know that we did and I don't get this thing where when they kill him, and it's so cavalier by the way. cavalier by the way. Yeah. If and when we kill him, I mean Israel, if and when we kill him, we're murderers man. This is no good. I don't like this. Yeah, I found it distressing. I mean, at least Trump goes, I'm going to kill him. I take him out. I'm going to kill him like a dog.

Starting point is 02:23:40 That would be funnier, but now this is just like, if and when we kill him, you know, come on, spice it up people. It's a little too cavalier. It is a little too cavalier. Anyway, here we go, part two. And Sunore is believed to be in the tunnels of Gaza surrounded by hostages. Smoke them out! How does this factor into the ongoing negotiations?

Starting point is 02:23:57 Well, those hostages are... Hey, stop the clip for a second. Whatever happened, remember this, whatever happened to they're gonna flood the tunnels? Yeah, that was good. Whatever happened, you remember this, whatever happened to they're going to flood the tunnels. Yeah, that was good. Whatever happened to that idea? Well, it got shot down for some reason. They were waiting for it. They're going to flood the tunnels. They're waiting for it. Well, I think the international human rights groups came in and said,

Starting point is 02:24:17 hey man, that's kind of, that's like rats. That's no good. Yeah, well this idea we're going to kill this guy, which without, you know, Flood the tunnels. That's no good. Yeah, well this idea we're going to kill this guy without, you know, flood the tunnels. You know, without a trial or anything. No, just kill him. Kill him. Well, those hostages are Sinwar's policy that he's not going to get taken out by Israel

Starting point is 02:24:38 tomorrow. But at the same, you know, it's speculated that Israel knows exactly where he is or generally where he is. But again, that it's too difficult to try to do a rescue operation because most people would assume the hostages would be booby-trapped. So again, Israel is forced to move. Wait a minute. This is the first I'm hearing of the hostages being booby-trapped.

Starting point is 02:25:00 This is... Imagine being a hostage and you got like a stick of dynamite up your butt. Well, okay. This is not good. Rather insensitive hostage and you got like a stick of dynamite up your butt? Well, okay. I mean, this is not good. Rather insensitive way to put it, but yes. Well, booby-joy. Okay, you got a bunch of dynamite strapped around your chest. Yeah, wow. That's when those go off, you know, your head flies up.

Starting point is 02:25:17 Yeah, pop, pop, pop. We've talked about that. But this is new. I've never heard of the hostages. They're basically saying we gotta give up on the hostages because they're booby-trapped anyway. I guess. Most people would assume the hostages would be booby-trapped. So again, Israel's forced to negotiate with them

Starting point is 02:25:36 at some point, but again, there's an expiration. There's no way that Sinwar makes it out of all this alive. And given his selection, how do you think this will change or impact Hamas and its goals? You know, one really interesting aspect is that Haneeyah was able to unite many of the various Palestinian factions. He had been in the political arena for decades. Senoar is a bit more of the fighter type. And so there are, you know, there was an agreement recently in Beijing where the Chinese brought

Starting point is 02:26:07 together 12 or 14 different Palestinian factions. That was largely due to Hanee's particular role being able to bring these groups together. Sinwar does not have that. Now a lot of groups are still going to be deferential to him as the leader of Hamas, but he's coming from disadvantage. He's coming from a place where he can't go out in the open and negotiate and talk with others. He is literally bunkered down. Okay. All right.

Starting point is 02:26:34 He can't do negotiations because they're going to kill him. Yeah, it seems like not a great way to start negotiations. Hey, we're going to kill you, but do you want to make a deal? Or maybe that is the deal, like we won't kill you if you come to the table. I don't know. Now, on that hardline stance, a man who spent years with a Sinwar in Israel, Israeli prisons told CNN that, quote, as far as Israel is concerned, this is not good news regarding the deal because of Sinwar's close relationship

Starting point is 02:27:01 with Iran. Help us understand the dynamics there. You know, Hamas is an imperfect proxy of Iran. Hamas is Sunni and the Iranian regime is Shia. And they actually split relations for a number of years over Iran's activities in Syria. So, Hamas gets a lot of military support, financial support, certainly political support from Iran.

Starting point is 02:27:26 But at the end of the day, Hamas also tries to advance its own agenda, its own ideology, which is separate from that of Iran. However, now I think that Hamas is on the front line of fighting Israel, which is Iran's greatest enemy. You're seeing Iran go out of their way to try to help Hamas more than they would have before October 7th. This is so cynical. Yeah. They're just like, oh, this is how it works.

Starting point is 02:27:59 Like Iran is just one big blob. By the way, they're two weeks away from a nuclear bomb. You should have mentioned that. They's always been two weeks away. I had a clip in a couple of shows ago yeah with that oh actually I still have this clip just to interrupt this flow I think it's the I don't know if I moved it over and that is Lindsey Graham. Yes here he is. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is introducing legislation that would allow the president to use military force against Iran if it's determined Iran is using nuclear weapons.

Starting point is 02:28:28 If we do not change course, Iran will in the coming weeks or months, coming weeks or months, coming weeks or months possess a nuclear weapon. It is time to end the charade that the world is playing when it comes to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. They are one in the same. Did he have any plans, like bomb them? Bomb them and bomb them again. All right.

Starting point is 02:28:56 Back to the Hamas guy. Back to the... Now, I want to... Before we go to the last clip, I should mention that there's a couple clips here that I left out a lot of stuff when they start about the United States and its approach which the guy kind of poo-poos is basically idiotic. So I'll leave that out and we'll move to the last clip. And what will Senoars leadership mean for the Palestinian people in Gaza? Well I think we've sort of seen it over the last several decades.

Starting point is 02:29:22 It's failed leadership. It is leadership that is obsessed with revolution, with intifadas, with violence. This is leadership that has been offered peace several times and has rejected it at every turn. Sinwar's goal for the Palestinian people, frankly, if he could see them all dead, if that was what was required to take out Israel along the way, it's something he would probably sign up for. And frankly, that's really what he did sign up for with October 7th. It was designed so that Israel would counterattack. It was designed and all their hostages have been designed so that more and more Palestinians are killed.

Starting point is 02:30:01 That is Sinwar's policy. It is the only time you have a military leader whose success, in fact, is defined by how many of his own people can he have die in the path of jihad. Oh, this is great. So by killing him, we're actually saving Palestinians. That's fantastic. Wow, these guys are so good. And who was this again?

Starting point is 02:30:22 Who was speaking? What horrible person was this? He's a guy. He's got a bunch of... He was at State Department. These guys are so good. And who was this again? Who was speaking? What horrible person was this? He had to play the beginning. He's a guy. He's got a bunch of, he was ex-state department. He worked for us and he's working for some Polaris or some company that does security work and then he's also a friend of, he's some Jewish operation also. We got to stop this.

Starting point is 02:30:41 We got to stop this. All this is being done. There's nothing to stop I have a clip here from can't be done from the secrets and spies podcast Yes, have you ever heard this podcast? Yeah, I have this is Philip Smith who you'll hear speaking He is from the Washington Institute of the Near East which of course is some kind of Yeah, some front some front group. And he's talking about, I think what he's saying here is along the lines of our thinking, which is they wanted this old guy, the one who got blowed up, they just wanted him out of the way.

Starting point is 02:31:17 In New York Times that said, no, there was actually a bomb planted inside of his room. And of course, there was some other kind of more fluffy details that were in there. Like for instance, it was an AI controlled thing. You throw AI into it. Sounds advanced. But anyway, that's word of the day. Yeah. So I mean, it was kind of stuff like that. But you know, there's an AI controlled thing that also detected when he was in the exact room. What's fascinating is you had other representatives and the leadership of the Palestinian Islamic Shahad that were staying in the same building. Now, Palestinian Islamic Shahad is more directly controlled by the Iranians, a very dangerous

Starting point is 02:31:52 group but PIJ has been very, very big in terms of launching rockets, kidnapping people, killing people, suicide bombings, you name it, and they are markedly more beholden to the Iranians. And interestingly, their reps who were there were not killed, which once again, it's another signal. Ziyad Anakala is the head of Islamic Jihad. He was in the room next door. It was reported in the Ronan Bergman article. Yes. But again, that's the, okay, if you think we can't hit anyone exactly when we want that's this is the thinking that goes behind it I mean, I'm sure there are people out there. Look why they just killed them all in the building Well, then that wouldn't send quite the same signal now would it I think they took them out themselves

Starting point is 02:32:39 Just take this guy possible just take this guy out take this guy out. It's possible. Let's take this guy out. That's probably the reason there hasn't used to this moment they still haven't started their retribution. So let's just stay on this for a second because there are a number of Iran narratives going around even though it's like is it Pakistan? Is it Iran? Is it ISIS? Listen to this. The FBI arresting a Pakistani national in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate former president Donald Trump. Senior investigative correspondent Aaron Kutursky joins me now. So what do we know about this man and what he was playing? Or planning, rather. Oops, truth wants to come out. What he was playing. Yeah, he was playing a role, but okay, planning.

Starting point is 02:33:24 investigative correspondent Aaron Kutursky joins me now. So what do we know about this man and what he was playing or planning rather? Kira, his name is a thief merchant and he entered the United States, according to federal prosecutors in Brooklyn in April. And while he was here in the United States, he made phone calls trying to hire hit men to carry out his alleged scheme to assassinate government officials on US soil. The criminal complaint does not mention former President Trump by name, but multiple sources familiar with this case say one of the intended targets was former President Trump. The hitmen that Asif Mershan allegedly contacted ended up being confidential sources of the FBI. So there was never any real danger here because it seems the feds were onto this man from

Starting point is 02:34:15 the start. They followed him for several months and arrested him July 12th, just before he was about to board a flight and leave the country. Kira, the arrest July 12th, you'll note, is one day before former President Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when there was an attempt on the former president's life, although these two things are not believed to be connected. All right, so no evidence in any way, shape or form that they could have shared information or were connected in any way.

Starting point is 02:34:46 Two separate incidents at this point. So it seems, Kira, the FBI has said they found no connection between Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who took a shot at Trump in Pennsylvania and any foreign operatives. But we did learn subsequent to the rally and the assassination attempt that the Secret Service had made adjustments to the security plan for the rally because of thinking that Iran did have this desire to go after former President Trump. Perhaps now we know what gave them that indication. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why those security adjustments

Starting point is 02:35:25 were made. This is such a convoluted story. So because they learned about some threats from Iran, they made it even easier. Yeah. I mean, what is going on? And then I know you have the clip, I'll play your clip. So now we have ISIS trying to attack a Taylor Swift concert. An alleged terror plot targeting Taylor Swift concerts in Austria has been foiled. The three Swift concerts in Vienna have now been cancelled by the promoter. Two suspects were arrested in connection with the alleged plot. Officials in Austria said the main suspect is a 19-year-old Austrian citizen. They believe he had pledged an oath of allegiance to ISIS.

Starting point is 02:36:06 Authorities said they found chemical substances when he was taken into custody. Investigators are working to determine whether they could have been used to build a bomb. At a news conference, authorities said they believe both men became radicalized on the internet and confirmed that they had detailed plans on how to carry out an attack. Now, there's a lot, I mean, this is, I mean, maybe the Swift op is just using Taylor Swift for whatever, whatever we want to use her for, because, you know, we had the three kids who were killed in the UK knifed to death. They were at a Taylor Swift party. Then we've got ISIS wanting to blow up people, young girls supposedly and their parents at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna. By the way,

Starting point is 02:36:53 there's an update breaking. We are getting some breaking news from Austria following the cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna. Police this morning are releasing new details about a terror plot that targeted the stadium where the shows were scheduled this weekend. Government officials confirmed the two men arrested in connection to a planned attack. They say a 17 year old suspect began working at the Austrian venue days before the now canceled shows. The suspect sought to use knives or homemade explosives in the attack outside the Swift concerts during a press conference. Vienna's head of police said immediate danger had been minimized and that an abstract danger remained in the city.

Starting point is 02:37:28 All tickets will be refunded with the next 10 business days. Swift's next set of Aris tour concerts are still scheduled in London from August 15th to the 20th. Yeah, that sounds like a great place to do a concert right now. They're killing your fans. Oh man, there are forces at work right now that are, and who don't care about human life clearly who are really trying to set the stage for, maybe for Trump, I'm not sure, but they're setting the stage. They're set up underway.

Starting point is 02:37:59 And well, let me just play this. Well, before we get to that. No, maybe I should play this now. It seems like this, the latest that's happening in the world of what WTF is also are doing. This is Bangladesh. Most people don't understand it or care about it, but this is a report. An appeal for calm from the street. The army chief in Bangladesh spoke to the nation in a televised address.

Starting point is 02:38:29 General Waqar Ouz Zaman announced an interim government would be formed while confirming reports Sheikh Hasina had resigned. The Honorable Prime Minister has resigned. Now we will form an interim government and continue our work to lead the country. Through the interim government, all the functioning of the country will take place. Out on the streets of the capital Dhaka, jubilant crowds waved flags and took pictures with army personnel. This after the Prime Minister's residence was stormed after crowds grew in numbers overwhelming

Starting point is 02:39:05 security. Demonstrators removed articles of furniture and danced in celebration. The latest development out of Bangladesh kept weeks of unrest. Student-led demonstrations kicked off last month over a controversial quota system on over half of government jobs reserved for certain groups including descendants of freedom fighters but that quickly spiraled into a campaign to oust the Prime Minister a Heavy-handed crackdown under Sheikh Hasina's watch resulted in nearly 300 people killed and the eventual downfall of the Prime Minister herself

Starting point is 02:39:40 So, you know to us in the West is like, some people, brown people in some country making a mess for themselves. But if you look just a little bit deeper, so now this general has come in and he's now so that's what we call a coup. And the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, who fled the country is now openly accusing the Biden regime of seeking to top hold her government with a color revolution for her refusing to allow the United States to establish a military base in Bangladesh and for Bangladesh to cut ties with Russia and China. I'm going to say that sounds

Starting point is 02:40:19 pretty true to me, especially when you see this, uh, Walker Uzama guy. Let me see. Oh, he studied at the joint services command and staff college in the UK and at King's college university in London, also known as the spook university. Come on people. Come on. It's so nasty. It's just nasty. And I believe that.

Starting point is 02:40:49 Of course. You know, it's very believable. It's the reason you believe it. You believe it because it's believable. It's very, it makes, actually makes sense. Yes. Thank you. Because we try to do, we, we, we, we, we try to make sense. We tried, but I'm not saying I'm saying as a country, we don't put up with any guff. Guff.

Starting point is 02:41:10 No guff. No guff. No guff. No guff here, man. It's a good show title, no guff. No guff. What is guff exactly? You know, guff.

Starting point is 02:41:20 It's like grief. So we don't put in any grief or guffer or talk back. No, bull crap. Bull crap, no bull crap. We don't put it with bull crap. It's a kind of nicer word for bull crap. A little update, we haven't talked about the Olympics very much. Well before you drift too far, I do want to play the Piers Morgan commentary on Taylor Swift. You drove too far. I do want to play the Piers Morgan commentary on Taylor Swift. Oh, well, how could I even go to sleep tonight without Piers Morgan commentary on Taylor Swift?

Starting point is 02:41:51 Oh, please. And the only reason I'm playing this is because I have a complaint about it. He's on Jordan Peterson's podcast, one of the dullest podcasts of the group. And so it looks like someone vomited on Peterson's jackets. It's like, it's hard to watch. He's always wearing weird jackets. But anyway, Peterson is bored stiff listening to this guy. And he's just going, okay, whatever.

Starting point is 02:42:15 But he goes on and on. Who knew that Piers Morgan of all people is a Swiftie? An alleged terror plot targeting Taylor Swift concerts in Austria has been foiled. The three Swift... This is not what you want, obviously. That's not it. Well, it's... I'm sorry.

Starting point is 02:42:32 It's annoying Pierce on Taylor. Annoying, isn't it? I don't really feel comfortable with winners anymore, you know, especially if they're a little bit self-confident. And yet, I think they're the best possible role models out there. People that can perform in the cauldron of great sports or entertainment cauldron cauldron cauldron witchcraft anybody people that can perform in the cauldron of great sports or entertainment whatever it may be you know

Starting point is 02:42:59 I watched all the sort of jealous sniping about Taylor Swift for example and then I went to her concert at Wembley absolutely mind-blowing experience it's not because she's the best singer in the world or the best dancer or the best actress or the best pianist or the best guitarist even though she does all those things it's just I've never seen an audience so one with the performer where she gave them what they wanted three and a half hours of banging hits on a massive stage with huge theatrics. Every kid there, including my 12 year old daughter, had a fantastic time. But the sniping, she doesn't sing every song live. She's this, she's that. She's written all these songs herself. She's grossing $2 billion on this tour. Pro Rata, the biggest tour in the history

Starting point is 02:43:47 of music. Bigger than the Beatles when they played Shea Stadium. Well, besides this guy, funny, I could have done without that. I couldn't. And here we go. She has a minimum of 62 different collaborators that write these songs. Yeah, that's clearly, Pierce is wrong on that one. He says she writes all her own. Yeah, she has written a few songs, but the songs, if you look at her hits and look at who wrote them, she's not even on there. These songs are collaborations at best and sometimes she doesn call that, we call that co-labs. We call that co-labs in the business.

Starting point is 02:44:30 So this is a lie and he bought into it. Wow. Pierce Morgan buying into a lie. What will we, what will happen next? What will happen next? All right. I just thought it was an important clip to play. If nothing else, then to hear Jordan Peterson go, okay.

Starting point is 02:44:49 Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, Peterson by him, he's not very dynamic anymore. He's not dynamic. No, he's actually a good guest with it. If he put him with a dynamic host and he's the guest, it picks his energy up. But him being the host, it drops the energy in the whole podcast. I'm surprised Chris even got this worked up, but he's a big Taylor Swift fan. I mean, you know, Darren and

Starting point is 02:45:16 and Piers should get together to do a podcast. The Tay-Tay cast. Yeah. We haven't spoken much about the Olympics. I do want to give us an update. This is the Turkey-ish radio. What is Turkey-ish? Do we say Turkey-ish? Turkey-ay. Turkey-ay radio and television. They have put the reporter on the scene and come up with the 10 controversies of the 10 days of the Olympics. Number one, more than $1.5 billion was spent cleaning the Sen since 2015. Yet the glorified sewer is still extremely polluted, and athletes who swam in the Sen? Well, let's just say it was an unforgettable experience for them. Number two, South Korea was wrongfully announced as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

Starting point is 02:46:01 during the opening boat parade. Democratic People's Republic of Korea during the opening boat parade. Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The Olympic Committee and organizers would later apologize for their mistake. Number three, in their Olympic basketball debut, the wrong national anthem for South Sudan was played. Number four, Papa Smurf, drag queens, and the mocking of the Last Supper. All this and more at the opening ceremony. Number five, the athletes accommodation has come under heavy criticism.

Starting point is 02:46:26 From cardboard beds to lack of air conditioning in this extreme heat. Some athletes even resorted to leaving the Olympic Village and relocating to nearby hotels. Number six, espionage at the Olympics? Team Canada was caught spying on New Zealand during their training session. And as a result, received a six points penalty. Number seven, they actually hoisted the Olympic flag the wrong way. Congratulations, you had one job and you messed that up.

Starting point is 02:46:51 Number eight, the handling of the weather conditions. It rained a lot and I mean a lot during the opening ceremony. Number nine, the participation of Israel was one of the major talking points going into Paris 2024. Russia, who sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, was banned from the Paris Olympics. Yet Israel, who has killed more than 39,000 people in their assault on Palestine's Gaza, was warmly welcomed to this year's Games. Number 10. France's hijab ban has been highlighted even more since the Olympics began. We've spoken with world-class athletes here in Paris who are unable to compete for this nation because of this cruel law.

Starting point is 02:47:28 And that's our list of all the controversies that have happened at Paris 2024. Bah, what a list. I should mention the first thing on his list about the Seine being polluted. Yeah, they were puking everywhere. They were a bunch of these guys that were in whatever competition required them swimming in this... Drek... this shit-filled river. They ended up hospitalized. It was a big scandal.

Starting point is 02:47:52 Oh, they were hospitalized? Oh, goodness. Yes, this broke yesterday. A bunch of them were hospitalized with the E. coli. Well then there's the food. The Olympic Village isn't serving adequate food and some athletes aren't happy about it. It's such a problem that Team Great Britain has resorted to packed lunches and eating

Starting point is 02:48:09 meals away from the Olympic Village. Andy Anson, chief of the British Olympic Association, told The Times that the quality of the food needs to be improved dramatically, and said there aren't enough eggs, chicken, and certain carbohydrates. He also said that athletes have been served raw meat. Chefs have been tasked with preparing over 13 million meals and snacks for athletes. And the Paris 2024 committee has a goal of reducing animal proteins and offering more plant-based options. The raw meat, I think they just took it the wrong way. That was sous vide. You misunderstood.

Starting point is 02:48:40 And the other thing is that what they left out of that clip, I had that clip too, but I was irked by the fact they left out the worms. Yes, worms. They found worms in the fish, live worms coming out of the fish. This is a disaster, even though they're making more money than ever. Of course, of course. We didn't talk about it, but the Wall Street went crazy on Friday and Monday. You guys talked about it on DH Unplugged and you put it in the newsletter

Starting point is 02:49:12 that we would talk about it. I don't know why you did that. I did? Yeah. Yeah, you said, yeah, we'll explain it. I said that? Yes. Yes.

Starting point is 02:49:21 I saw it myself. I don't know if we need to explain it. Oh, once in a while I put stuff in there that never happens. They don't mean it. I didn't mean it. It was just a joke. Well, what you guys talked about mainly on DHU unplug, which is a great show. You should listen. You can listen to it live on Tuesdays, it streams live. They have some kind of chat room which doesn't work, so they need donations. They need help. It used to work fine.

Starting point is 02:49:43 They need help. They rag on Bitcoin yet Horowitz is interviewing Scaramucci today. So, you know, all right, whatever. But the yen carry trade seems to be the impetus or the the catalyst for this, which I didn't really know much about. But it makes a lot of sense that people were basically borrowing a lot of sense that people were basically borrowing a lot of money because the yen is, you can borrow that almost for free. And then they were buying all kinds of tech stocks, the Magnificent 7, and then Japan said,

Starting point is 02:50:14 oh, we're gonna raise our interest rates and everyone got in trouble. Is that, does that sum it up? That's basically it, what caused it, yeah. Now, in addition to that, there is- Out of the blue, because they had negative interest rates, it was free money, out of the blue, because they had negative interest rates, it was free money. Out of the blue, they just, you know, we're talking about lowering interest rates.

Starting point is 02:50:30 I don't want to get into this too much. No, no. We're talking about lowering interest rates in this country, almost 50 basis points we're now talking. And they, out of the blue, they just raised interest rates. It's like blue everybody's mind. It was great. It was great. It caused a collapse.

Starting point is 02:50:46 But along with that, and even though I think the market rocketed back up today, who knows what's going on? And so all of that is phony baloney, but my beat, AI is taking a beating. Just a couple of headlines and I have two quick clips. The Guardian view on the tech bubble going pop. AI pays the price for inflated expectations. Is the AI bubble about to burst? AI's two fundamental issues will lead to a bubble pop. Goldman Sachs in Business Insider.

Starting point is 02:51:16 Yep. It's all happening. And here's Yahoo news. There's a lot of people who are unsophisticated investors use Yahoo finance.yahoo.com. So case in point. I really see the easy way to look at charts. But a lot of unsophisticated investors views it for their news and information. This is a who is this dude? Patrick Morehead an analyst. I really see May You know Patrick Morehead used to be a very famous public relations guy for AMD. Oh

Starting point is 02:51:55 Interesting. Well, yeah, he's now an analyst. I really see Two major actually three three major buckets for for AI plays Two major, actually three major buckets for AI plays. The first one is this infrastructure. Anybody who is related to building out these massive data centers with GPUs in them, I think are very, I'm very confident next 12 to 18 months that's going gonna be the case. And we saw the capital expenditure commitments by Microsoft and Meta and Amazon, it is absolutely pedal to the metal on that. And then there's the longer term downstream, right?

Starting point is 02:52:36 The enterprise software providers that there has to be benefit in a large scale for all this to interconnect because there is just actually an over investment in the capability versus the downstream benefits at this point. And if that gear doesn't connect in let's say 12 months, what's gonna happen is the investors of these enterprise software

Starting point is 02:53:07 companies are going to be asking, you know, where's the benefit and have super pressure on these companies to start scaling back. And that is when all bets are off. This is going to come apart so beautifully. Every single day I receive emails from dudes named Ben like, oh man, we had to implement one of these AI things. It's just a stupid chat bot. Our customers hate it.

Starting point is 02:53:33 We hate it. It doesn't work. 20%, 25%, 30% of the answers it gives us wrong. It's not working. Now, your buddy Patrick did have an interesting side note here, but I think he's reading the tea leaves the wrong way. And then the final thing I wanna add is

Starting point is 02:53:53 I still think there's this untapped opportunity which is the AI PC and AI smartphones. You know, we saw a little bit on the AI smartphones related to Apple. We saw a slight bump on that, but, you know, we saw a little bit on the AI smartphones related to Apple We saw a slight bump on that but when you consider there's only one generation of Apple smartphones that can do all the AI Tricks out there and then people are gonna have to buy new smartphones new tablets and even even new Macs That's really I think good news for companies like Apple and Qualcomm and and even even new Macs. That's really, I think, good news for companies like Apple

Starting point is 02:54:26 and Qualcomm and even AMD and Intel. I see it exactly the opposite. I don't think a single person is going to want to buy a new phone that costs even more because of AI tricks. I think it's gonna hurt Apple. Like, I don't think I want this thing. You have a negative attitude. Of course, this is this thing. You have a negative attitude. Of course, this is your beat.

Starting point is 02:54:47 Very negative attitude. And you are very negative. My son who works in AI. Well, he's been sidelined. He thinks it's the best thing. No, no, he says something that you can put in the red book and I think he might be right. He thinks that it's got enough legs to go two more years.

Starting point is 02:55:08 Wow. In other words, yeah. And most people that see bubbles like you do, uh, or, you know, this, this idea of being a bubble head, um, always are premature. And I'm guessing he's probably right about the two years now. always are premature. And I'm guessing he's probably right about the two years. Now that means we'll have our cable business in place. Cause it's only going to take us about a year to do it.

Starting point is 02:55:38 Oh wow. That's good. Our exit strategy is on deck. I love it. And then maybe I'll be able to afford a better supplier of my Dr. Pepper. I got another flat can. Wow. The fact that you have two. Man, that was beautiful.

Starting point is 02:55:54 I timed it beautifully. I'm telling you, having been a can inspector. Yes. In more ways than one. Yes. But having been a can inspector, Yeah. Yes. In more ways than one. Yes. Yes. But having been a can inspector, I would say the likelihood of running into two bad cans from the same company in your lifetime is remote.

Starting point is 02:56:18 Remote. Very. I, I, I think in my whole life, I have run into maybe one bad can ever, besides the ones I was inspecting and I saw. That's what weird, weird. I'm going to show myself, I donate to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on no agenda.

Starting point is 02:56:43 Oh shoot. In the morning. So here I am trying to look at the batch number and of course I spill it all over my... That was not good. In fact, that is very bad because this is sugar and this sugar water will get into my MIDI controller and will ruin it. That's not good. What, you spill it on the computer? No, the MIDI controller mixer which I use for...

Starting point is 02:57:10 Oh, well, you just said, I don't know what to tell you. There's nothing to do. There's ways to do it. Do you have any lube or something? Do you have a lube? Is this like the, no, I got no lube. Is this like the guy with the, holding a can, he say, what time is it, and he dumps the can on himself.

Starting point is 02:57:22 That's pretty much what I just did, like a moron. Look at his watch. Like a moron. Anyway, I think I have a lawsuit on my hands. Two cans in one batch. That's not good. It's not good. And it ruined my equipment. Anyway. Oh, was this from the same batch that you purchased? I think so, yeah. Oh, it's like hard disks. Did you get my hard disk by the way? Yes, I did. Thank you very much

Starting point is 02:57:47 I got the hard disk and everything it and you scribble all over the hard disk, which is funny You are with it with a with a silver magic marker the silver pen. Yes, which everyone should have it That's a tip of the day is the silver sharpie. So very handy silver sharpies are great Hey, let's thank some people who came in $50 or above. John will read them off for you. And of course, there'll be several congratulations for the 36th wedding anniversary of my partner and his lovely wife, who also does a lot for the show. Yes, she does. Often unmentioned behind the scenes, she does all of our tax accounting, which is very annoying for her. And she does the meetups and manages all that.

Starting point is 02:58:30 And we love her. Mimi is awesome. Clearly you married up. She runs a kennel. And she runs a kennel. She runs a kennel. Right on. Les Tartowski starts us off in Kingman, Arizona. One, two, three, two, four

Starting point is 02:58:46 Kyle tech TACKE in Yankton, South Dakota 111.11 and he has anything here we get to stop though. He wants to be He's PS stop being a douche and donate on your own. He says to someone, one of his friends, okay. The binger Newman, I guess, I guess Rami in Norfolk, Virginia, one, one, one dot one, one.

Starting point is 02:59:18 You can take a look at her note. She has a really nice note. Take a look at it and see if there's anything we need to read. Yeah. She has nice handwriting to this.

And now ladies and gentlemen, to wind up the show, it is time for John's tip of the day. Greetings for you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. Yeah, we like to wind up the show with a tip of the day so you can go into the rest of your weekend, into the weekend in this case, with knowledge that you cannot get from any other podcast. John, what's your tip of the day? I actually have two today.

Starting point is 03:18:43 Wow, a double header. Or I could have one, whatever, but I do have a clip that has a tip in it that I thought would be worth playing because it has to do with the Olympics. Okay, what is it? And it is the, where are we? Pin trading, pin trading. Dozens of passionate pin traders and collectors were fervently exchanging pins in the heart of Paris last week.

Starting point is 03:19:09 Many call it an unofficial Olympic sport. A pin specialist from the U.S. advises newcomers to prepare their pins in advance. They can do that by purchasing them online and bringing them to the Olympics. The best thing to do if you want to trade pins is to come to the games or come to an event with pins that you have to trade. If you buy them at stores here, they're very expensive. But if you can buy them cheaper on eBay,

Starting point is 03:19:35 people will buy them in bulk on eBay, older pins, and bring them and trade them. Reed has been trading pins since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. It's the unofficial sport of the Olympics. There are thousands of people that have been trading pins since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. It's the unofficial sport of the Olympics. There are thousands of people that pin trade. There are probably more pin traders than there are athletes, if you think of it that way. I mean, we set this up today and there was no advertising. We just put something on Facebook and said, come.

Starting point is 03:19:58 The pin trading fair gathers traders from all around the world, all drawn by the allure of the Olympics. This year, the area was bustling with people eager to make a good trade. traders from all around the world, all drawn by the allure of the Olympics. This year, the area was bustling with people eager to make a good trade. The fact that a lot represent countries, so you're kind of getting stuff from all over the world, and that's really cool. According to the first Olympics website, pin trading dates back to the first modern games in 1896, when athletes wore cardboard badges.

Starting point is 03:20:27 Nearly 130 years later, the variety of pins has significantly expanded. It's been busy all day long. People love coming here and trading and interacting and it becomes very addictive. National organizing committees, sporting federations, media companies and sponsors all offer their enameled mementos. So this is a tip for dorks? It's a tip for people who trade pins and it's a bigger group than you think. Yeah of dorks, flair. You, you, you're judgmental. I am. Who trades pins? I thought when I saw that clip, thought pin numbers for your ATM, that's kind of cool to trade that.

Starting point is 03:21:10 Hey, I'll take yours, you take mine, but no, pin trading. So what is the tip then? The tip is to buy your pins in advance from eBay and then take them there and basically wholesale and ramp up. Okay. Great tip, John. I have a second tip or I can push the second tip off because we're running out of time.

Starting point is 03:21:30 I need to hear the tip. I need more tip. No, you would. So I'm in Slovenia, floating around, and they bring up an interesting point up and I'm gonna this is the tip they claim in Slovenia they claim this that pumpkin seed oil if you if you ingest it and they have it if you go to like any restaurant there and the salad bars always have like the oil and vinegar but they also have a big thing of pumpkin seed oil that you put on the salad. And they claim that pumpkin seed, you use pumpkin seed oil, and this is not, I'm not giving medical advice, but they sincerely believe that pumpkin seed oil prevents prostate cancer. Wow. They're just, they adhere to this belief that pumpkin seed oil, no prostate cancer.

Starting point is 03:22:30 And so use it a lot. So they use it on the salads and I actually use it myself. Kind of believing this possibility. I have, you know, got a healthy prostate. There's another butt tip from John C. DeVorek. And so here is the, so you go to, Amazon has it and there's a French company that sells it. And by the way, they sell it in a small can. You can just look up pumpkin seed oil on Amazon. Or you can find it in some stores.

Starting point is 03:22:53 Can you just eat pumpkin seeds? Will that do it too? You won't get as much oil as you do from these. You're just going to have to eat tons of them. You'll be sick. The point is that this pumpkin seed oil is quite good on a salad. It's very strong flavored oil and it's very nice raw on a salad. And the thing that's irksome is that I looked into the idea of importing pumpkin seed oil and it's like an industrial waste. Yeah, I was going to say it's sludge. In Slovenia. And it's like, they say, it's like you could get to, you know, 10 gallons for a dollar kind of thing. But when they're,

Starting point is 03:23:30 when the French make it in their little cans, it's like 15 bucks for a small can. So it's, it's, I think it's pretty pricey considering what. Once again, considering what it's really used for, it's another lube story. You can't get off a lube. That's what they use it for. All you see is lube. There you go everybody. It's not good news, it's good advice. John Sears tip of the day. Yeah everybody that's it. Tip of the day. I love it so. And you know I think people who miss the tip of the day because they like, I'm tuning out, they miss out on a lot of good stuff. I think you're foolish to not

Starting point is 03:24:13 stay tuned. Foolish. They fell asleep by now. You're kooky. You're kooky if you don't listen to the tip of the day.

Starting point is 03:25:14 Till Sunday, adios, mofos, hooey, hooey, and such. What Kamala Harris is doing is amazing. It is a testament to her charisma, but it's also a testament to the team she's put together, including Tim Walton. It's really interesting to see a vice presidential pick generate this kind of extra energy boost. You know, we all talk about do no harm with the pick, or maybe have an impact on a particular state. The pairing is actually quite magical. How you feel about Trump calling Kamala Harris a bum? She is.

Starting point is 03:25:53 She's one of those career prosecutors that suffers from character deficits. Don't let that do them! She's one of these people that has absolutely no connection with what the hell was going on. She's in her these people that has absolutely no connection with what they help with going on. She's in her 20s and Willie Brown took her off as his mistress. He means what he says, we don't take him seriously. He means it. There's no being played bad. There's no having a storm.

Starting point is 03:26:18 Look what they're trying to do now in the local election districts where people count the votes. They're putting people in places, states that they're going people count the votes Elections are putting people in place in states that They're gonna count the votes, right? Are you confident That there will be A peaceful transfer of power January 2025? If Trump wins, no, I'm not confident at all

Starting point is 03:26:39 What's that in your mouth, you think? John, stop now It's a family show It's just a family show. It's just a family show. Running out of options. Who's watching? Constant surveillance and data collection in the name of protection. Hey, what's that in your mouth? Videos, leaks and captures in secret.

Starting point is 03:26:50 I mean, huh, figure it out. Repent, get right. All done in plain sight. Captured by your vice. Compromised and paid with a high price. Attending parties and events thinking no one sees. What happens in the shadows is just dense. All done in plain sight, captured by your vice Compromising, paid with a high price Attending parties and events, thinking no one sees What happens in the shadows is just dense

Starting point is 03:27:09 Cidal up to someone who's been abused before Keeping a secret, spilling your guts and saying tell me more Rumors and threats, abundance, you become numb How much to buy your silence, I mean just don't be dumb Whistleblowers dead in random acts of violence Saying that it's suicide, just be silent. You're in for a long ride. Digging deeper leading to entangled relations,

Starting point is 03:27:31 trying to hide. Digital guillotine, rarely seen. Canceling hardly a culture suitable even for a teen. But parents excuse bad behavior as a new day. Now they play the bad music for their kids in the car. Every day used to be a way we would talk to our old folks politics were less serious people knew it was just jokes I mean just jokes huh it was just jokes folks saying yeah what's that in your mouth what's that in your mouth? You're a horrible, you are a national treasure.

Starting point is 03:28:06 She just hiked her skirt up and tried to flirt. I just stay more woke than less woke. And I know a hook when I see one. Never learned to read and write. Like everybody needs to be woke. Early onset dementia and also some problems with menopausal complications. I just stay more woke than less woke.

Starting point is 03:28:33 Have no brains at all. You see the day is going to be tomorrow so since it's going to be tomorrow, today we have tomorrow which is why we are now. Like what did you say? Shortchanged by the Lord and dumb with a jackass plan. We have to stay woke. Where'd you get your blackness from? See you're faking it again.

Starting point is 03:28:55 Listening to her words sounding and the way she talks. Had no brains at all. Like everybody needs to be woke. She lacked professional competence and she worked on it by hiking up her hemline when she needed influence rather than research. You're changed by the Lord and dumb as a check ass. And then you get somebody that's easy to control because she's lazy. I just say more woke than less woke.

Starting point is 03:29:24 Oh what did you just say? The worst human beings you will ever find are career prosecutors, so they lie, cheat, steal to win the game. And no brains are told. She's always tried to do the casting couch. Like everybody needs to be woke. Hahaha. The Best Podcast in the Universe The Best Podcast in the Universe
