Crazy talk. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where I see they brought Matthew Perry's killers to justice. I'm John C. DeVoeck. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Now wait a minute, wait a minute. I thought he drowned of accidental MDMA sleeping in his pool. Ketamine overdose.

Right. Yeah, ketamine. It was ketamine. You're right. We knew that. Ketamine overdose. Right, yeah ketamine, it was ketamine you're right. We knew that, that's not news. They brought the four, they charged five people. Oh. With his death including two MDs, one of whom said I wonder how much more this moron's gonna pay for this stuff. Do they have this on tape? They have it all, the text messages which they scrambled to get rid of once they started getting busted left and right. Oh no. But unfortunately nobody seems to realize that text messages are stored here and there. In certain places.

And hello dummies. Wow. Well that's pretty amazing. Yeah. In certain places and wow dummies Wow Well, that's pretty amazing Yeah, huh? poor guy So this so the Docs killed him, you know this micro dosing of Kevin I'm actually gonna be here for the Docs got him fully addicted. Yeah, and then then a ketamine Queen And then, then a Ketamine Queen of LA.

Ooh, who is the Ketamine Queen? Ketamine Queen! It's very interesting. I was watching it this morning on Court TV. The press conference. That's what you're doing with your prep mornings. I see. I see. Did you see one of these things? What? What? There's a lot to discuss, my friend. But first- Why did you get the bonus clip, by the way?

Oh, wait. No, I did not get a bonus clip. Let me see. Let me see what you, oh, bonus clip. He's got a bonus clip. Hold on a second. Okay. Let me put it into the bin.

All right. Bonus clip is in the bin. But there's some big news, big news today. Big news. We have a winner! Not bird flu, not COVID flirt, not sloth fever or dengue. No, ladies and gentlemen, it is M-Pox. The World Health Organization tonight is declaring M-, formerly known as Monkeypox, a global

public health emergency as a new form of the virus is now rapidly spreading across Africa. Cases have been detected in more than a dozen countries, more of them, most of them rather, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with more than 14,000 cases there, 524 deaths this year alone. Here at home the CDC is urging doctors and the public to be alert for signs of the virus including fever, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes. Dr. Ashkay Seyal is joining us now. Oh man, M-PACs to the rescue just in time for the election. Get your mailing ballots ready. This is horrible.

Oh no, we can't go vote. No, doctor, tell us. Doctor, how big of a threat is this in terms of a global perspective? And what does this global health emergency declaration really do from a practical standpoint? Hey Tom, so this is actually the second time in three years that WHO has declared

a public health emergency over M-Pax. And what we're seeing now is yes, the cases are largely in Africa, specifically in the DRC, the Democratic Republic of Congo. But the reason they're calling this out now, Tom, is that it's actually leaking. I think by the way, the whole Democratic Republic of Congo is subtle messaging. Democrats, Democrats, to your mask, to the mask mobile, Democrat, Democrat, Republic of Congo. Republic of Congo. But the reason they're calling this out now, Tom, is that it's actually leaking out into neighboring countries. This is a different strain than the end-products outbreak we saw a few

years ago, including here in the U.S. This one has a fatality rate about 15 to 30 times higher. Oh. It's significantly more deadly than the other ones. You can see the WHO is acting quickly here. And the PHEIC, the public health emergency, really calls for nations to start sharing resources. Sharing resources. Vaccines, treatments, research. Vaccines. Can be really, really useful for those poor countries.

And you can see in this statement, Tom, we just got in the last hour from HHS, saying that while the CDC, yes, saying the public should be alert, right now the threat is very low here in the United States. No, no, it's no good. But people should nonetheless be on the lookout for this thing, for this virus and stay alert for those symptoms that you mentioned earlier there Tom.

Yes, stay alert, stay alert for these symptoms. Now before we continue with Dr. Akshay Shial, we must go because he's back as well. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the ring, Dr. Tedros. Last week I announced that I was convening an emergency committee under the international health regulations to evaluate the upsurge of MPOCs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other countries in Africa.

Today, the emergency committee met and advised me that in its view, the situation constitutes a public emergency of international concern. It is a public emergency of international concern. The situation constitutes a public emergency of international concern. Not sure what it is, but it sounds bad. It's public. emergency of international concern. Not sure what it is but it sounds bad. The detection and rapid spread of a new clade of M-POCs in eastern DRC, its detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported M-POCs, and the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying. It's clear that a coordinated international response is essential to stop

these outbreaks and save lives. We must save lives because there are many des. Let's go back to Dr. Akshay at NBC. Hey, doctor, as we were talking about the symptoms, I thought, are we missing one? In other words, I thought that one of the symptoms with monkeypox anyway was... Gayness! ...kind of a severe blistering type of thing. Yeah, it was that rash bullet on there you can see in the bottom right that it's very typical of M. pox when you when you see it you can't really miss it but those other symptoms

you mentioned fever chills exhaustion odds are if you're having those things it's probably something else including the flu or maybe even COVID but the rash really is the hallmark symptom Tom that blistering rash you mentioned yes Yes. Okay, so before I have two more clips here there's a discrepancy here that is very odd looking at all of the Videos We're seeing mainly kids looks like they have chicken pox. They're walking into the tents. We've got once again We've got Africa. We've got tents. We've got people in hazmat suits. Oh, no, no, it's the M pox.

But we don't forget easily here at the No Agenda Show. Thank you for accentuating my point. We go back to the previous M pox outbreak here in the United States. Let us remember what that was all about. Here's the super cut. This is a disease that the majority of people who have it in this country

are men who have sex with other men. Men who have sex with men. Male to male sexual contact. Men who have sex with men. Male to male sexual contact. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men.

Men who have sex with other men. Men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men men who have sex with men men who have sex with other men Men who have sex with men men who have sex with men men who've had sex with men men who have sex with men And all right, so last time it was only for men who have sex with men Which confused us in general and now it seems to be everybody it's a new strain and the most detailed information I could get came to us from the CBC Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It's the second time now that the World Health Organization has declared a public health emergency of international concern for MPOCs and we heard from them on this just this past hour and it follows outbreaks in Congo and elsewhere in Africa with cases

seen among children, adults in more than a dozen countries there. You can see in some of those visuals there the symptoms of this condition and pox which was known as monkey pox, known for causing painful pus-filled lesions, also can cause severe illness or even death as well. It was first in the headlines a few years ago, the summer of 2022 after an explosion of illnesses then, and that's when the last emergency, public health emergency like this was declared by the WHO.

That lasted about 10 months. The WHO part of me says that in this current outbreak, the cases have actually exceeded the total number seen in all of last year. So they said 14, about 14,000 cases so far as well, 524 deaths. The WHO says that it's working on the ground in affected countries with its partners there. It says it's supporting laboratories to sequence viral samples, training health workers, supporting clinicians to provide appropriate care, also supporting countries to access vaccines and helping them with rolling out those vaccines. It does say that it has developed a regional response plan here and it has released 1.5

million US dollars from a contingency fund that it has, but it is appealing to donors to provide more money as well. It says that it's committed to coordinate the global response, working closely with those countries and leveraging its on the ground presence to treat those infected, prevent transmission, and ultimately to save lives. Oh, save lives, gotta save lives. That was much of a report.

The guy says at the end of a word. I got a note just in time from Dame Trish. Dame Trish has been in the medical field for I believe up close to 20 years. And she says, I hope, I know your time is valuable but I think this monkeypox data will interest you. This comes from the National Vaccine Information Center. And luckily she has done some work for us.

She has given us an excerpt. Here come the mRNA smallpox and monkeypox vaccines. I made unanswered questions about why the monkeypox virus is suddenly mutating and becoming more virulent, virulent, and transmissible among humans. It sure looks like the public health empire is gearing up for a global monkeypox pandemic. If it does come to pass, the solution they will offer

is to make sure everyone gets an ortho pox virus vaccine, just like in the old days when every child was mandated to get the highly reactive smallpox vaccine without understanding just how lethal the side effects were and how many infants, children and adults would be injured or die from those side effects. The difference between today and the old days is that people around the world are suffering

with broad basedbased immune dysfunction due to either infection with the lab mutated SARS-CoV-2 virus or injection with the lethal mRNA biological or both. And that makes the addition of another mRNA biological a potential prescription for disaster. Bores. Disaster, disaster. That disaster for the Democrat Party. Man, we took a trip and there are a lot of Democrats at the airport. I mean, mask wearers.

Is there a difference? Oh my goodness. Since you've been playing this, I want to play an old Mad Owl clip. And it's under old. This is Jad Owl. I think obviously you get that correct. This is just an old Mad Owl clip so that correct. This is an old mad owl clip. So we can be reminded about how great the news is.

Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person. I got infected about two weeks ago. It was my third infection. And I had been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times. I had a third infection and I had been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times. A juxtaposition of clips. Yes, indeed. Fauci getting the, getting the Vax and the mask and he's already saying, wear your mask again, wear your mask, wear your mask.

I mean, this, I think they've got something here. You know, they've been trying the bird flu wouldn't fly, COVID, no one cares. You know, I think they've got a vaccine or something they want to sell. I'm not sure that this is what you're looking for. These aren't the drones you're looking for. I think the one they're missing out on, they can still pull it out, pull a rabbit out of the hat with the sloth, with the sloth flu, sloth fever. No, it's called sloth fever.

Sloth fever. Cause sloth fever also has a, uh, you can do, I can see song parodies. You give me sloth fever. Sloth fever has, uh, it comes out of Brazil. Comes out of Brazil. It's a Zika. Oh, it's a Zika type thing. Zika variant. Zika, Zika. And it went straight from Brazil to Cuba

to Europe. It hasn't come over here yet. And it seems to me because of the Zika angle and it causes birth defects, it's a better way to go. I would have gone with that. But you know, they're not all that smart. They really aren't. Hey, I mean, we have... Well, they're kind of screwed up, because this monkeypox thing, like you played the supercut.

Yeah. I mean, that was the whole scam was this all men having sex with men. Yeah, but no one remembers that. And now it's just like, what, just wide open? So to speak. We're the only ones who remember that stuff, man. Come on. Now, I just see the news flow. I mean, I don't know if they're going to make it with this. I agree. I think sloth fever sounds better. It's a funnier name.

It's a Zika variant. But they're trying. They need to do something. And now is the time. Now is the moment. They got to do it. They got to lock them down. They got to lock them down. So have you seen the clips of the lockdown in Minnesota when they had the cops walking down the street? Shooting people. Shooting people, yes. Yeah, with paintballs. Yeah. Although the... Yelling in the street. Now, were they really paintballs?

Because they had... Paintballs don't have an explosion in the gun. They... There was the... The sound effect was from the paintballs hitting the house. No, but you saw a flash. You saw a flash going off. I never saw a flash.

I saw flashes. Well, I saw the person getting hit by it. They had the one clip where the girl got hit with a paintball and she was, and they showed her. Maybe they were using the rubber bullet guns, just loaded them up with paintballs instead of rubber. Rubber bullets can do some damage. Yeah, yeah, but I don't think you can put a paint.

Paintballs aren't the same as a rubber bullet. You'd have to get a paintball gun. They had paintball guns. It was pathetic. This was, and I have the clip, the bonus clip, which I gave to you, is the clip of the Fink line that, this Walls is a bad guy in every single way. I think there are more people that start to see,

he's creepy, he's a creepy guy and he put this line in. So you call and think on your neighbors if they left the house and they had cops walking around shooting at you. If you, but meanwhile, of course, they could burn the city of Minneapolis down. That's no big deal. But this is what the, the think line, this is what it, the recording I have it once you want to play that. Hello, you have reached the department of Public Safety stay at home hotline. The information you leave is considered public information. At the tone, please leave the following information.

Your name, your callback number, how the stay at home order is being violated, and where the stay at home order was violated. Thank you. being violated and where the stay at home order was violated. Thank you. That's what you do man. That's what you do. That is what you do in your neighborhood. It's a beautiful day in your neighborhood. Rat on your neighbors. You know, he knows the golden rule. Mind your own damn business and rat on your neighbors. That is him. So yes, unavoidably. By the way, as we speak, Kamala Harris is going to have her first interview. Oh, really? Oh, it's happening. It's going on live right now on X.

Oh, on X. And she's being interviewed by Walls. No. No. You didn't know this? That's fantastic. So, John, let me ask you a few questions about me. Pretty much, yeah. Well, this comes amongst severe pressure from the mainstream media, including CNN. Jim Acosta, who would have thought? Here he is with the Harris-Waltz comms director.

Would it kill you guys to have a press conference? Why isn't she had a press conference? Listen, the vice president and Governor Wallace have been busy crisscrossing this country since the launch of this campaign and adding Governor Wallace to the ticket. You saw the ways in which they went across the battleground states last week, generating rallies of thousands, 10,000 here, 15,000 there. But Michael, you know a campaign rally is not a press conference. Do you mind if I cut in? I mean, you know, a campaign rally is not a press conference. Why isn't she at a press conference? She's the vice president. She can handle the questions. Why not do it? We absolutely are going to do it. You hear her take questions

as she's out on the stump. And she said last week, we're going to be having a sit-down interview here before the end of the month. What she's going to be stump and she's as she said last week uh... we're gonna be having a sit down interview here before the end of the month what she's going to be focused on and what this campaign is going to be focused on is communicating directly with the voters that are actually going to decide the pathway to two hundred seventy electoral votes that's why she's got the walls, we've been across the country the past week

that's why we're doing a bus tour in Pennsylvania as we head into Chicago and it's why we'll sit down for an interview before the end of the month to make sure we can have a deep conversation about the vision The Kamala Harris has for where she wants to take this country in the contrast that we're gonna have with Donald Trump We're gonna have plenty of opportunities to do that Throughout the Michael the one interview by the end of the month I don't I don't want to you know belabor this but one interview before the end of the month I mean, that's that's not a lot. I mean, can you commit to a one interview before the end of the month. I mean, that's, that's not a lot.

I mean, can you commit to a press conference before the end of the month? We will commit to directly engage with the voters that are actually going to decide this election and that is going to be a complete with rallies, with sit down interviews, with press conferences, with all the digital assets that we have at our disposal. All the digital assets, which means Walt's interviewing Kamala on X. That's great. What a fantastic move.

They do their best. They are. You can't blame them. This is pretty good. And whatever works. Yeah. I mean, it's on X. So it's like, will it be a spaces like that, like the Elon Trump spaces?

The Elon trying to get a word word in edgewise, actually trying to get a stammer in edgewise. We could have predicted that there would be some technical issues that I feel kind of bad. And I didn't even consider it was going to be a spaces. I thought it would be video. I'm like, oh, it's space. Spaces suck. I've never liked them.

You know, and I think the Curry-Dvorak consulting group would have warned for, you know, hey, set yourself, see the problem with the space is you can't do it from a computer. You can't do it with a pro, unless you have a microphone stuck into your phone because you can only speak on spaces if you're using the app. You can't do it on a web browser.

So you got Trump bent over his iPhone, talk, and of course, hey man, Elon used AI to make him sound slurry. No, no, no. I love that stuff. No, it just, it sucks. That's the, if anything, it was a bandwidth constraint. It stepped down to lower, to a lower sample rate. I mean, I have a little example of it here. Well, I think we will.

I'm pretty sure we will. And congratulations, because I see you broke every record in the book with so many millions of people and it's an honor. We view that as an honor and then you do want silencing of certain voices. He sounds like Calacanis. You don't want silencing of certain species? Usually those are voices that have something. Doesn. Doesn't he sound like Callaghan? Not to mention it. Constructive, oftentimes constructive. So we have to consider it an honor, but congratulations on breaking every record in the book. What record? Every record in the book.

So he got a million concurrent listeners. Whoop-de-doo. I call that a fail. That was not him. I mean, you know he wanted 80 million or whatever. Apparently there was a denial of, a distributed denial of service attack, which I can believe.

And that makes, that could be anybody of course, but the insinuation from this next clip is, it was the Biden administration. Elon Musk is slated to. This is a guy from the WAPO, a journalist from the WAPO in the press briefing with Jean-Paul Abdul Pierre Van Damme. And it was quite interesting that he even asked this question. Elon Musk is slated to interview Donald Trump tomorrow tonight on on X I don't know if the president's gonna today feel free to say if he is or not but I I think that Misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue. It's a you know, it's a America issue

What role does the White House or the president have in sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of intervening in that? Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but it's a wider thing. Yeah, no, and you've heard us talk about this many times from here about the responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes to misinformation, disinformation. Don't have anything to read out from here about specific ways that we're working on it, but we believe that, that they have the responsibility. These are private companies, so we're also mindful of that too.

But look, it is, I think it is incredibly important to call that out as you're doing. I just don't have any specifics on what we've been doing internally as it relates to the interviews. It's not something that I'm tracking and I'm sure the president's not tracking either. No, no. So that kind of... She's complimenting the guy for demanding a reporter. Yes. For demanding censorship.

It's great. What is wrong with these people? It's the season of reveal. All shall be made known to you. What's the reveal? The reveal. That they're idiots? Yes.

For us, the reveal was already there, but for a lot of people, they're like, oh, wait a minute. I think some people are seeing it, not many. I don't think so. I don't think the mask wearers I saw in my travels over the past few days really will know. I mean, we still have family members who believe that Trump was never hit by a bullet. Where did you hear that? MSNBC? Oh, okay. Got you. That's fine.

I want to play, while we're on this side of things, I want to play the latest attempt by the MSNBC, CNN folk to promote Kamala. And this is the use of the term vibe. Have you started hearing this? This is from, they've switched over from Cuddly, all these different kinds of super cuts that we put together. Hold on, hold on. I'm in the sky.

It's a bird. It's a train. It's a super cut. That's a super cut. The super cuts are the best way to show that the media is in lockstep. They are beautiful. I have not heard this one. Did you put it together?

You got it from somewhere? I stole it. Oh, good. From people who steal from us. Here we go. That from somewhere? I stole it. Oh, good. From people who steal from us. Yeah. Here we go. That's the way I see it. That's the way I see it.

This is the vibe supercut. There is a vibe. There is a cultural shift going on here. It's heavy on vibes, and so far it seems to be working. The attacks just aren't sticking. The bully's power starts to shrink, and the new kid changes the vibe on the playground. You now see Democrats smiling. There is joy in our party.

This Harris-Waltz ticket is like a moment of joy that allows us to heal the trauma and get to a different space. One of the great achievements of the young Harris-Waltz candidacy is they popped pop that balloon and now he just looks like a boob. He's got a vibe. Well, allow me to... So to continue this vibe thing, every time I run into one of these super-consciency, they had this joy, there was vibe, there was cuddly, they've been using these different terms. They always assign one of the anchors

to take it to the limit. Yes, and it's always at the end of the supercut. The last time it was Maddow and she was going on and on about something. This is Katie Tur. This is Katie Tur taking her cue. She's on MSNBC. She's terrible.

And by the way, she's on MSNBC, she's terrible. And by the way, she's also, she's what I call, and I've seen this with other people, they can only get so far with this by the way, she's a lunger. A lunger? You have your complaints about people, I can't remember the one, you like to call them something,

but you have a term for this? A puker. Puker. Yeah, puker. Puker. This girl's, she's a lunger. And so as she speaks, she jumps, she moves toward the camera. She lunges.

She's constantly lunging at the camera. It's like, hey, back off, lady. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, she's a lunger. And she, here she is, she's going to go off the deep end with vibes and then she's going to just, she's going to talk about it and then she's going to talk about Trump and she's literally going to lie. It's all about the vibes, vibes on the economy, crime, the future, the politics of all of

it. Vibes! And politics itself. Weird vibes! Up until last month, those vibes are a bummer for Democrats, says on Wee about the top of the ballot was dragging down the rest of the ballot. But now that President Biden stepped out,

and he beat Kamala Harris has stepped in, the vibes have flipped. Now the Democrats are riding high. With big crowds, big enthusiasm, and big new numbers, and all of the polls that matter, including a brand new one, we'll bring you in a moment. But most significantly, VP Harris has taken from Donald Trump his biggest political asset. His ability to ride on a wave of personality over policy, relying on a magnetism that so

bewitched his voters, it didn't matter to them what his positions were. Which was good because he kept flipping and then flopping and then flipping again on a whole host of meaningful policy. What? He kept flipping and then flopping on a whole host of meaningful policy. The only person flipping and flopping is Harris. Here's what I'm seeing. Trump appears to be zigging to their zag.

So he has now slowed down and he's doing a lot of press conferences from Mar-a-Lago, from The Living Room. He keeps pointing that out by saying, there used to be a big, beautiful couch there, now you are there. And he's doing policy speeches with a low tone, low energy, low tone, talking about

economy and border consistently. He seems to have taken this cue from them like, oh, you're going to do that? Okay, I'm going to do this. And I think it's an interesting turn of events because now they are the say nothing big crowd, which by the way, it's working because you just get on any social network. People are like, they're all flipping out over it. Like who cares? Now I know the M5M likes to think they choose our leaders. And this might have been the way to do it, but it seems like Trump is not playing into their card. I have a super cut as well, which plays along with the vibe.

This one's a little more obvious. Battleground momentum. New numbers showing the Harris-Walls ticket is gaining ground. Vice President Harris gaining momentum. Momentum in some key states. This morning Vice President Kamala Harris gaining momentum. Gaining momentum. Gaining momentum. Gaining momentum. But look this momentum. This momentum. Keeping the momentum. Harris's momentum. Harris's momentum. You can't slow down the momentum.

This remarkable momentum. Mission number one is create the momentum and then keep the momentum. What does momentum look like in the polls? Kamala Harris is doing two things here. Number one, momentum. And number two, momentum. But take a look here. Clear momentum.

So momentum it is. Momentum it is. Democrats ride a wave of momentum. She does have that momentum. The Democrats are riding a wave of momentum. Generating a kind of momentum. The Harris team is going to want to keep this momentum. Keep the momentum going.

They want to keep that momentum. The momentum here is amazing. The crowd is going to be excited. The people are going to be excited. The people are going to be excited. The people are going to be excited. The people are going to be excited. The Harris team is going to want to keep this momentum. Keep the momentum going. They want to keep that momentum. The momentum here is amazing. The crowds are literally insane. This momentum it just seems day in and day out to keep getting more powerful by the day. The trend is heavily towards Harris and it's rushing towards Harris. It's rushing. The trend is momentum. Unbelievable. No, it's very believable. It's rushing. The trend is momentum. Unbelievable. No, it's very believable.

It's great. It's so obvious. No, it's unbelievable. And we just had- It's believable, but it's unbelievable. You'd think that they could do better than this. No, no. This is what you call talking points.

I have a super cut. Oh no, hold on. Up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. It's a plane. It's a supercut. Another supercut. We're supercut heavy, ladies and gentlemen. What's your supercut?

This is the Camelot supercut from her speeches. Good to be back in Pennsylvania. It really is good to be back in Wisconsin. It is so good to be back in Michigan. I am clear. The path to the White House runs right through this state. And listen, I am clear. The path to the White House runs right through this state.

I took on perpetrators of all kinds. I took on perpetrators of all kinds. I took on perpetrators of all kinds. I know Donald Trump's type. I know Donald Trump's type. In this campaign, I proudly put my record against his any day of the week. In this campaign, I'll tell you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week. Are you ready to make your voices heard? Are you ready to make your voices heard? Are you ready to make your voices heard? When we fight, we win!

Go team! Oh, beautiful. That's beautiful. It's a great time to be a podcaster and to be able to sit back and just listen to it all. I find it very enjoyable. I'm having a great election season. How's your election season been? John, are you enjoying your election season? I find it distressing. Now, of course, Ms. Harris, she does have her issues when she's speaking publicly. She comes up with fun gaffes though.

Trump accusing Harris of stealing his proposal to end taxes on tips, which she announced months ago and she adopted over the weekend. Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. Hospitality. Nobody caught that. Hospitality workers. I heard that being clipped all over the place and nobody picked up on it. I heard it immediately. Oh yeah, I heard it. So did you.

Yeah, of course. Hospitality. I even looked it up just to make sure that it wasn't an actual word. It's hospitality. So, I want to do a few more Harris things or Harris related things before we check out Trump because he has been doing some interesting stuff. First ABC had a chat with Charlemagne the god. This is the if you ain't black you ain't if you don't vote for me you ain't black. Thank you with Biden. Here he is talking about Tim Walz the vice

presidential nominee pick for nominee. What do you think of the Tim Walz, the vice presidential pick for nominee. What do you think of the Tim Walz pick? You didn't mention his name just then. I didn't know him. Yeah. Most of America didn't know him. I just found out about him over the last couple of weeks. At first I was a little bit disappointed.

I knew she, we knew she needed a DEI hire, right? We know she needed- So Tim Walz is the DEI hire on this ticket. We know diversity, equity, inclusion. She needed a white male to make America comfortable. It is what it is. No need for us to act crazy about it. We know what it is.

Yeah, nice. Now that's Charlemagne the God. Of course we could go to, let me see. No, let me do this first. Let me go, let's stick with ABC. Because the thing that is great about JD Vance is not only does he get asked to do interviews under friendly fire, he does them.

So he goes on CNN, he goes on ABC. They invite him on and I think he does a pretty good job. We commit to his ways to finish the... Wait. Yeah, I was just going to say, I think he relishes it. What do you mean? I think he really enjoys taking flack. He's almost like a Marine in that way. Good point. Yeah, he does. And he stands up to it.

Because he's got a smile on his face and he goes after him and he gives him grief. I've got to ask, you know, I need to ask some of our makeup professionals. Is he really wearing a mascara or are his eyelashes just that dark? Because it's a very odd look. I, you know, I had a guy,

there was a guy in high school that had that look. And he had, because everyone was always thinking something like that. It's called guy liner, by the way. He never wore eyeliner. He had two sets of eyelashes. Two sets? Yeah, and the same, so they were like double eyelash. Oh. And it made it look like that.

I think that's what we're dealing with here. He's a hairy guy. Hey man, he's just hairy, okay? Leave him alone. He's probably got back hair. We commit to this race to kind of sticking to the facts. I mean, I heard Donald Trump give this speech in Montana he just gave. He said that Tim Walz had signed a letter letting the state kidnap children to change their gender, allowing

pedophiles to claim, to be exempt from crimes. This is not true. It's not remotely true. What President Trump said, and I haven't watched the whole rally. What he said was remotely true. Well, what President Trump said, and I haven't watched the whole rally. What he said was not true. What President Trump said, John, is that Tim Walz has supported taking children from their parents if the parents don't consent to gender reassignment. That is crazy. And by the way, Tim Walz gets on his high horse about mind your own damn business. One way of minding your own damn business, John, is to not try to take my children away

from me if I have different moral views than you. He has not signed a law allowing the state to kidnap children to change their sexual identity. So If you disagree with decisions about gender reassignment, yes, he has proposed that, John. He absolutely has. So this is an interesting role. This is exactly what Trump needs. He needs a translator. So when Trump says he signed a law to kidnap children, which of course everyone understands exactly what he's talking about, but the mainstream has to, the legacy media needs to feign this.

Yeah, the legacy media looks at it and says, where is it saying, where's the word kidnap in there? Which I have to say, not as an insult, but you're a little bit like that. If I say you bumped your mic, you say, no, I bumped the stand. You're right. Well, I'm from that, I'm from that group of people. Hello. Did you just figure that out? Eureka! Here's, now we go to Dana Bash, who I think gets flustered.

Oh, she is so flustered, but this is a good clip. This is on CNN. State of the Union with J.D. Vance. He's hairy. But I think Kamala Harris clearly owns the policies of the Biden-Harris administration, especially when we consider the fact that as we've all learned over the last few months, Joe Biden clearly isn't capable of doing the job, and so I think that drives home that Kamala Harris really has been

the one calling the shots. I mean, how could she not? I think Joe Biden doesn't really know where he is. Kamala Harris has been calling the shots as who? I think she has to have been. If she's not calling the shots, Dana, then who is? I do think it drives home something that's fundamentally dishonest about the way that Vice President Harris and also a lot of senior Democrats have approached this. If you remember, for months, even years, the argument was that Joe Biden was sharp, he could clearly do the

job. The minute that he performed poorly in that debate and he became political dead weight, you have Kamala Harris and everybody else trying to throw him overboard. But I think the more troubling question is, why did so many senior Democrats, including the vice president, cover for him? And if Joe Biden wasn't capable of doing the job, as even a lot of Democrats say now, was Kamala Harris in charge or was somebody else in charge? And that's a real, real issue. There's no evidence that Kamala Harris in charge or was somebody else in charge and that's a real real issue. There's no evidence that Kamala Harris threw him overboard.

I'm sorry there's no evidence, just saying, pulling out the no evidence card. This Vance guy, he's got his law degree from Yale if I'm not mistaken. Yes. Well he's so he's got the chops to do this stuff. He sounds like a pundit. He is, well, he's, but he's doing it in a lawyerly way. In other words, he's making arguments that are, that the kind of things that, to get the jury,

which is the audience, he's working the audience and as he works against the interviewer, Dana Bash was flustered by him. Did he specialize in prosecutions or defense? What kind of lawyer was he? We should probably look into it, but he definitely has the chops and he's got different chops than Trump, but he's also like Trump. He's a chatterbox. He was the editor of the Yale Law Journal with a Juris Doctor degree. He wrote for David Frum's Frum Forum website under the name J.D. Hamill, apparently.

And of course he's a writer. He wrote Hillbilly Elegy. He's running circles around Dana Bash Hillbilly Elegy. He has the... He's running circles around Dana Bash. That's what's happening. He really... I can see why they don't like this guy. He's a little bit... He's like Trump with a lot more going on.

Well, he keeps coming and he'll say, yeah, I'll be there. Yeah, no problem. I'll show up. Do you believe Kamala Harris is black? I believe that Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is. But I believe importantly that President Trump is right that she is a chameleon. She pretends to be one thing in front of one audience.

She pretends to be something different in front of another audience. Look, Dana, she's not running a political campaign. She's running a movie. She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter. Everything is scripted. She doesn't have her policy positions out there. She hasn't answered why she wanted to ban fracking, but now she doesn't. She wanted to fund police, but now she doesn't.

She wanted to open the border, but now she doesn't. She should have to answer for why she presents a different set of policies to one audience and a different set of policies to another audience. And I think that's what President Trump is getting at. This is a fundamentally fake person. She's different depending on who she's in front of. Again, he's translating Trump. Yeah.

That's a great strategy. That's a good catch too, yeah. Yeah, he simplifies Trump for the weak-minded, for the feeble-minded that don't get it. They don't have a sense of humor. No, no, of course. And he is, he does, he is laughing when he says, you know, about Trump saying she's black. He just laughs at it. It's beautiful to see. I think this clip kind of shows the difference between what the Harris campaign,

Harris-Waltz campaign is doing versus Trump. So she's out there. Look at my crowds. Now he did fall for it. He did fall for the, it's AI. He did that. Or whoever's running is truth social. They did fall for that.

But then quickly stop realizing, wait, wait, this is not gonna work. We just, we gotta stop with it. Someone said to Trump, stop with the crowd sizes. Go back to Mar-a-Lago, go to Bedminster, do your slow, calm press conferences, talk about issues only. And former president Donald Trump will be in Bedminster, New Jersey to host another news conference following his rally in North Carolina on Wednesday. The president and the Democratic presidential nominee will be side by

side on stage today in their first appearance since Biden's reelection bid ended. Their focus will be on efforts to lower prescription drug costs. Then tomorrow, Harris will be in the battleground state of North Carolina to lay out her own economic agenda, which is said to include a plan to tackle inflation and lower costs for the middle class. Meanwhile, Trump will be back at his golf club today to hold a news conference, taking questions from the media for the second time this week. This week, the economy taking center stage in the race, as Trump also laid out some of

his plans for the economy and his North Carolina rally on Wednesday, saying there would be no tax on Social Security and says his administration would slash energy costs as a plan to alleviate inflation. And ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week, Trump's campaign says it plans to offer some sort of counter-programming. Harris's presidential campaign is also launching a $90 million advertising effort over the next three weeks. It's our campaign's largest yet investment in messaging to voters with just two and a half months

until election day. Oh, they're salivating. 90 million bucks coming up people, standby. It's an incoming. I think I may have a clip on this 90 million. The, uh, this 90 million they're spending, they're going nuts. It's a lot of money. It's to get as much out there as you can early enough to get them.

Cause people are going to start the voting starts like the new next week. The early voting. Yeah. So yeah, so they're going to, they're pushing to get people to stupidly early vote. Do you have it? Before they find out anything bad, but you know, this is like the Hunter Biden laptop situation. Yeah. Do you have the 90 million clip?

I don't know that I do. I don't see it. I do have a Trump Harris economy clip that compares the two? Oh good, yeah, let's do that. Trump-Harris economy, gotcha. Former President Trump today outlining his economic agenda in the battleground state of North Carolina. This comes before Vice President Kamala Harris is set to lay out her economic plan Friday. And today's Iris towel has more from Asheville, North Carolina. From President Trump on Wednesday giving a speech about the economy right here in the

battleground state of North Carolina, which he won in 2020 by just over one percentage point. At the top of his agenda here is to lower inflation and talk about how to end tax on tips. On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign an executive order directing every cabinet secretary and agency head to use every tool and authority at their disposal to defeat inflation and to bring consumer prices rapidly down. We'll do it very rapidly.

No tax on tips, okay? No tax on tips. A Trump speech on Wednesday comes just before Vice President Kamala Harris is set to lay out her policy agenda on the economy this upcoming Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina. The two are already getting into an increasingly heated debate about the economy. And your report on Wednesday shows that inflation has now dropped to 2.9%, the lowest level in about three years. Kamala Harris's campaign is taking credit for that, saying that it is the result of

the work by President Biden and Kamala Harris. Adding that in her upcoming address, Harris will address how to make the middle class be better economically and also how to take on greedy corporations. So this is what's interesting is, and I'm sure that that Harris and Waltz will also say no tax on social security, which by the way, is pretty outrageous that social security is taxed. So what what they could get into is like, well, and I'm already seeing articles similar to this saying, well, there's really, there's not much sunlight between the two, you know, Trump and Harris,

they're kind of saying the same thing about the economy. So why don't you go for the lady? You might as well go for the happy person. There's no difference. They're gonna give you the same policies. There is a version of that floating around, I can feel it. But the one thing she cannot compete on is energy prices, because that's a fund, unless, well, she could. The fundamental difference is

drill baby drill versus wind power. By contrast, I'm announcing today that under my leadership, the United States will commit to the ambitious goal of slashing energy and electricity prices by half at least half. We intend to slash prices by half within 12 months at a maximum 18 months. And if it doesn't work out, you'll say, Oh well, I voted for them. I still got them down a lot, but we're looking to do it. We're looking to cut him in half What is that? What is that hedge?

It's like well, you know, I did say I'll get it done by a lot, but maybe not everything But I'm gonna you'll still like it cuz you voted for me And we think we'll be able to do better and every single thing that I promised I produced every single thing thing. He also didn't make Mexico pay for the wall. He did not. Never have had energy for months, we have been saying for months, the only name fitting for Trump to use for Vice President Harris is Cackling Camilla. That is the name. It would stick. It would work because it's uncontrollable.

She may have PBA now that I think about it. Remember that illness PBA? There's medication. It rings a bell, but I don't remember it. Here, PBA. PBA. Listen. Don't call it depression. Call it by its real name. Don't call it crazy. Call it PBA, Pseudo-Bulbor Affect. PBA causes frequent episodes of uncontrollable crying or laughing in people with brain injuries or neurologic conditions like stroke, dementia, or MS. For a free PBA Facts kit, call 1-800-575-5238 or go to pbafacts.com. You'll learn the science

behind PBA. So that was the laughing disease, PBA. I forget who it was. I don't remember that at all. Oh yeah. Yeah. But anyway, so he gets so close and fumbles the ball on the one-yard line. Just remember, she goes to work every morning in the West Wing. Her desk is ten steps from the Oval Office. She cast the tie-breaking votes that gave us record inflation and for nearly four years Kamala has crackled as the American economy has burned. What happened to her laugh? I haven't heard that laugh in a while.

Where'd you get that clip? They keep her off the stage. That's why she's disappeared. That's the laugh in a while. Where'd you get that clip? The great sailor. Why'd they keep her off the safe? Crackle. That's why she's disappeared. That's the laugh of a crazy person, I will tell you, if you haven't felt it. It's a crazy, she's crazy. Cackling, Kamala, not crackling.

Do we not speak clearly enough? It's a mystery. Do you think he'll, he'll correct it. He has to correct this. He has to correct this. He has to correct it. There's something about Cackling Camelot that I have to say at this point because it's been going on for so long and that's what everybody calls or including the parody guys who do his voice.

They all use it. He must have something about it personally that he doesn't like. That's the only thing I can assume. No, I think he's just slower. This is not Trump from 2016. He's slower. He's slower on the ball. He's clearly, there's a lot of distractions going on.

I mean, Trump's trying to get shot in the ear. Someone tried to kill him. You know, other stuff happened. That doesn't help. And he's older. He's just older. And I think he's losing a little bit of the touch. But then again, here he has JD Vance coming in to to translate.

New York Times. I wanted to ask you about the latest economic news from this morning, with inflation now being under three percent%, the lowest rate since mid 2021. What is your sort of reaction to that news? Well, I think the crowd reaction says it all. Look, when they say that inflation is down, they mean from a baseline where groceries are already 30% more expensive than they were when Donald Trump was president. And they're not saying it's coming down.

They're just saying it's not going up as fast as it was three years ago. That is not a reputation or a record to brag on. That's a record to be ashamed of. Why did it take them so long to get inflation to where it is? And why are prices so high? It's because Kamala Harris failed to do her job. So if they want to go around and this, this is, you know, it's because Kamala Harris failed to do her job. So if they want to go around and this this is you know it's funny Kamala Harris on the one hand will say wow he has a bit of Cruz in there too a little bit of Ted Cruz when I say you know it's funny that's that's a Ted Cruz-ism right there their price is so high it's because stop a second Ted Cruz would not know what school did Cruz go to Yale?

We should look that up but because whatever school he went to Ted Cruz's Was at the school he went to was the debating champ. You went to Harvard Okay, he was the Harvard debating. He was the best debater in the school. So he has techniques. A masturbator. He was a masturbator. And so he has techniques that I think are generally used by those schools.

And I think that it just was something that he picked up. So he wasn't copying. He's not copying Ted Cruz. He's copying the model. Yes. Well, Harris failed to do her job. So if they want to go around and this is, you know, it's funny. Kamala Harris on the one hand.

No, stop, stop, stop again. You got to back it up a little bit because right there, not you mentioned Ted Cruz, that sounds exactly like Ted Cruz. That's what I said. The stammering. Yeah. Stop, stop, stop, stop. It's funny.

Whatever you said, you know, that whole, that pattern that he just did, extremely Ted Cruz. Our price is so high, it's because Kamala Harris failed to do her job. So if they want to go around and this, this is, you know, it's funny. By the way, it's not funny. That that's, that's the travesty of it. It's not funny. Kamala Harris on the one hand will say on day one we're going to tackle the affordability

crisis. And like I said earlier, Kamala Harris has been the vice president for three and a half years. And I think ladies and gentlemen, she's in effect been the acting president because we all know Joe Biden isn't home. There it is. So she's been the one controlling government policy for three and a half years. She says she wants to tackle the affordability crisis on day one.

And then on the other hand, she'll say, well, we've already got inflation under control. Well, which is it, Kamala? Which is it? The simple truth is American credit card debt is getting higher. Americans are finding the basic necessities of middle class life less affordable. Americans are becoming, especially young people, are becoming paupers in their own country. If we don't do better, our young generation, they're not going to own anything, they're not going to have anything, they're going to be renters in

the country that their parents and grandparents built. Inflation is a disaster. Kamala Harris does not have a leg to stand on. So now I'm, now I'm realizing this is very interesting. I don't know if it was strategy, but Vance, horrible pick. Oh, I'm sure Trump is hating it right now. He's dumb, he's an elite, he's an idiot. He has sex with the couch.

Bring him on, bring him on. We'll whittle him down to size. Oops, they can't because he's good. He's good at it. And speaking of the economy. In fact, he's better than imaginable. Yes. He's about as good,

I would say listening to these clips at least and then comparing him to Cruz and debating style and the fact that he's a lawyer. I don't think you could do much better than that. And so to try and massage the economic numbers and make it sound good, you know, don't get too excited. They bring out Bernstein. Do you remember Bernstein, the chair of the economic, the Council of Economic Advisers? Do you remember that guy? No, I don't. This will refresh your memory.

The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print our own money. It obviously begs the question, why exactly are we borrowing in a currency that we print ourselves? I'm waiting for someone to stand up and say, why do we borrow our own currency in the first place? Like you said, they print the dollar. So why does the government even borrow? Well, um, the, uh, so the, I mean, again, some of this stuff gets, some of the... Do you remember him now? Yeah, he didn't handle this very well. No, he didn't. But let's bring him out

and talk to the press. Does the White House at this point think that the inflation problem is solved? The momentum is certainly in the right direction. Momentum. Inflation is reliably coming down. We have a record of disinflation, meaning slower inflation, that is now 60% or a little bit more than that off of its peak. This is a consistent trend that's moving in the right direction. No victory lapse, as I tried to assert in my comments. Our work is not done because even as we get inflation back down to pre-pandemic levels, we still have to be mindful that too many families are facing too many high costs.

Okay, blah blah blah. So they bring the blah blah guy out who doesn't know anything, really can't explain any of it, and then comes this whopper. This, I loved this. This is from Yahoo Financial News. Turning to the presidential election here, former President Trump saying at a press conference in Florida, that the president should have more say in the Federal Reserve's decision making when it comes to interest rates. I feel the president should have at least say in there. Yeah, I feel that

strongly. I think that in my case, I made a lot of money. I was very successful. And I think I have a better instinct than in many cases people that would be on the Federal Reserve or the chairman. So what could this mean for the central bank moving forward? Yahoo Finance's senior columnist Rick Newman joins us with more. Rick, help us make sense of this. The concept fills me with dread. I don't know about anybody else, but it sounds frankly like a terrible idea to let the president have more say in the, uh, what the federal reserve decides. Uh, a question, doesn't the president appoint the, the, uh, the, the, the

boss of the federal reserve, isn't that a presidential appointee? Yeah. So, I mean, is it- Paul is actually selected by Trump. Yes. Isn't it stupid to think that the president doesn't have a say? I guess. Yeah, it's kind of dumb. Yeah, but I think they're trying to launch... Just put your guy in, you know, he's gonna agree with you probably. Oh, you know, it's all Trump. He's trying to... Oh, dread. A sense of dread. Yes, yes. So, the only person they could bring out, and by the way, Pete Buttigieg, don't look too closely at his lips. He looks like he has the M-pox.

He's got these little bubbles on, like little white lesions on his lips. On his lips? Yeah, once you see it, you can't unsee it. That's not good. It's very, very, it Yeah, once you see you can't say good. It's very very It's not it's not pleasant to look at But they bring him out and he launches into something new there's something I think much bigger Well, not at the beginning play here, which is I watched that interview and watched JD Vance present himself as suddenly very particular about

precision in speech and very concerned about honesty. He's running with Donald Trump, somebody who has set records for lying in public life. He just gave a press conference where fact-checkers estimate that he told 162 distortions or lies. That frankly is just impressive in terms of being able to physically do that. It's like the Olympics of lying. So maybe just because it's Sunday morning I can't stop thinking about the scripture that says how can you look at your brother and say let me take the speck out of your eye when you have a plank in your own eye. Now this got my attention. Oh, now all of a sudden we're quoting scripture,

boot, boot a judge. And indeed, if it wasn't enough to go after the tax on tips and I'm sure the big pharma and I'm sure the tax on social security, no, no, no, we need to go after the Christians, get sure the tax on Social Security. No, no, no. We need to go after the Christians. Get the evangelicals on our side. And we begin tonight with evangelicals.

A group that in a surprising twist is mobilizing support. Surprising twist. For the Kamala Harris presidential campaign. One group evangelical Christians for Kamala Harris released a new ad highlighting that time Donald Trump told the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa that he does not ask God for forgiveness. Oh no, bad Trump. Have you ever asked God for forgiveness? That's a tough question. I'm not sure I have. I just, I don't bring God into that picture. I don't. Evangelical Christians for Kamala Harris was not on anyone's bingo card for 2024 because most people assume evangelical is synonymous with conservative. It's not.

There are plenty of evangelicals who reject the mean selfish version of the religion that follows Jesus the Christ. We call them red-letter Christians. Think Bishop William Barber, friend of this show, who is, wait for it, an evangelical Christian. Think of the Christian pastors who led the civil rights movement. Think Rev Sharpton. Not all Christians are the evangelical white dudes

with main character energy from the Handmaid's Tale. Ah, hold on, this is new. The Christians are all- Well, she's bringing in the Handmaids, the Handmaids, well, geez. Written by that woman who's an atheist, Atwood. Atwood, yes. But so, it's Christians for Kamala.

But this most surprising election does keep delivering surprises. Even some white evangelical Protestants are fed up with Trump. So it's white versus black now. Oh, okay. That is a group that gave him 84% of their national vote in 2020. They're not alone in tiring of his act. Wait a minute. I thought evangelicals and Christians don't vote. What did she just say here? That is a group that gave him 84% of their national vote in 2020. Well, I guess they're voting now. They're not alone in tiring of his act.

A separate group, Christians for Kamala. What kind of language is in tiring? They're not alone in tiring of his act. This is like that. You ever get the spam call where they ask you to hang on because Comcast has some sort of a deal and then the language is all botched? No, I don't get those. Is she a native English speaker?

No, you're racist. They're not alone in tiring of his act. A separate group, Christians for Kamala, had a Zoom meeting last night that included leaders from several progressive Christian groups urging supporters to get behind Harrison Walls. Call it divine intervention?

Or perhaps lots of Christians are just getting fed up with being associated with the hateful vision of Donald Trump, his Bible stunts and religious hypocrisy, and are fighting back with a counter narrative to conservative evangelicals' overwhelming support for Trump. These groups say the conversation on faith and spirituality has been hijacked by the Christian right.

Hijacked. It's been hijacked. Jesus has been hijacked everybody. It's been hijacked by Christians, bastards. Now, I didn't clip it. It was too long. It was six minutes. Yeah, nobody watches this show of hers. Why is she even on the air? No, people watch it. She's a hateful, hateful, hateful person. She's terrible.

Well, what was interesting, and again, I didn't clip it, but there's a six minute, I guess, kind of mega, mega super cut of black pastors going on and on about Harris telling them to get on the Zoom calls. I mean, separation of church and state anybody? I mean, seriously, it's just like, what? And they just go, oh yeah, oh yeah, we got to vote for Kamala. What? Is this is okay now?

It wasn't five minutes ago. No. So, and that's the group that bitched and moaned the most. Yes. So they are really doing everything they can. But you know, the white evangelicals, the white, white, we're the racists and the wrongies. We're the baddies.

It's the black ones who are good, like Rev Al. Sure. That's a nice try. I guess we should talk briefly about the Trump-Elon spaces. We already talked about the slurred speech. We can't talk about it a little bit. Yeah, but there's some more to talk about. MSNBC brought on some dude, oh he is, and it seemed like the thing they're most worried about, and he just, I mean, you'll hear him lie

within 15 seconds. What they're most worried about is Elon's reach. He's got such reach in all his misinformation, people will start to believe it. Unlike what anyone else is doing in legacy media. Unlike MSNBC. Imran, take us through what Elon Musk is doing and the theories as to what his motives are. Well, unfortunately, I can't tell you what's in the hearts of any individual, but I can tell you what our researchers have been studying with Mr Musk's own output on his platform

X. We examined posts about the US elections that he'd posted between January the 1st and July the 31st, identifying 50 posts that independent fact checkers found to be false. And those 50 posts had accrued 1.2 billion views. And I just need to say, really? Do we really believe these view counts? Come on. I mean, view counts for the advertisers are two seconds, which is what I presume they're using for all view counts. YouTube does it. I'm pretty sure X does it. And it's like,

Oh, it's a 1.2 billion views. Really? You really, really think it's that much? And there were three main. Actually the funny thing is if it was that much, the polls wouldn't have a Camelot and Trump neck and neck like that. Yeah, but that's for advertising. That's weird. That's how we get $90 million in advertising. It's a close race people.

It's a horse race. Well, yes, no, that's our basic thesis is that the whole thing is scam. Extract money from these dummies. To the crude 1.2 billion views. And there were three main categories. There was an AI generated fake video of the democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. We've had a hundred million plus views. Which was a parody.

It was funny. Everyone's every, no one thought it was real. There were claims that Democrats are importing voters, the great replacement theory, a really, really dangerous lie that has led to bloodshed on American streets at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. It's the same conspiracy theory that led to the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand. Okay, stop! You're telling me that because Elon Musk tweets something about great replacement theory,

which I don't think he said that, but okay. No, I don't think he's ever brought it up. But okay, they're importing voters, yeah. I think that's a valid concern. I think there's no doubt about that. So that motivated the Christchurch massacre? Not the same thing. No, that was a Muslim.

It was completely different. And in a different country, why would the Great Replacement Theory, which applies to the United States, have anything to do with what's going on in New Zealand? It also applies to Europe, still not New Zealand. Oh, yes, Europe, yeah, Europe and the US, but not New Zealand. In the vein of the truth wants to come out, BBC ready to kick off a story about the interview, the conversation, the space between Elon and Trump. This news model says it all. The billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is due to interview the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump on the ex social media network.

So what do you really feel? Interfers. Yes. Interfers. Yes. It's interfering with election. I mean, interview. It's so, so clear. It's so obvious. Okay.

It's obvious to us. It is. I mean, yeah. Let me see if that's... Oh yeah. This was the Iran hack. You know, we have someone, Iran hacked Trump's systems. Do you know where this hack came from?

No, I never followed up on the hack. The former president's team is blaming Iran for hacking their campaign in June. According to multiple sources, the hackers compromised the personal email account of longtime Trump operative Roger Stone, stealing sensitive documents from the campaign. Are you kidding me now? You're telling me that Roger Stone has sensitive documents from the Trump campaign? Please. That's peculiar. He probably sent it to them himself. That's that that right That right there just, okay, so that's bull crap. That's meaningless. They're also, by the way, they're really going after RFK.

First we had- There's a lot of misinformation about RFK too that I've noticed. They're just throwing stuff out there. And then I guess he got kicked off the ballot in New York. No, no. Well, first he got kicked off the ballot, then... Well, I thought he got kicked off, then he got back on, then he got kicked off again. Yes. And then North Carolina, and he's back on again. But what came out in the New York Times, I think is a lie,

that RFK Jr. reached out to Harris' campaign about administration role in exchange for endorsement. I don't believe that for a second. I don't believe it either. It doesn't make sense. They are so worried about that guy. They're really, really worried about him. One of our producers, by the way, works in one of the production houses for the DNC and he says he's creating Democrat delegate shirts for the Chicago show he says you will definitely notice them they chose red shirts with gold

letters he says all that's missing is a Trump hat it is the dumbest thing he's ever seen but actually it also sounds like the Chinese communist flag. Well, I think the idea was going to look more like that than the Trump hat. There you go. He should have used stars, what he should have said. That's fantastic. Put a big star on there. So it's just like a- It's great.

I'm enjoying every single moment of this. So the DN- This Democratic convention, which is starting on, I guess, Monday or Tuesday. Yes. It's going to be just a laugh riot. I have some clips and riot is right. Hey, hey, Chicago! While civic leaders are hoping for the best,

they're also preparing for the worst. I'm confident that our plan will provide a safe and secure environment during the DNC. The Department of Homeland Security has designated the Democratic National Convention as a national special security event, like the State of the Union Address, the Super Bowl, or a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. The designation means federal authorities believe it could be a potential target for terrorism or other criminal activity like

a mass shooting, a bombing, a chemical attack, or a protest that turns into a riot. The United Center sits just across the Eisenhower Expressway from one of the city's busiest hospitals, Rush University Medical Center. We are on the driveway of the United Center, it's one of the closest hospitals, and we're preparing for anything, whether it's a mass casualty attack, whether it's a stabbing, whether it's an explosion. Dr. Nicholas Cozy is Rush University Medical Center's EMS and disaster medicine director.

There'll be a nurse assigned a pre-decon triage, and he or she has one question, decon yes or no? Since May, he's led 18 full-scale disaster drills to be ready for a catastrophe. In this drill, dividers drop from the ceiling and nurses in protective gear use soap and water to decontaminate those who have been exposed to the chemical agent. We have to be able to have an ability to quickly remove that substance from their body. The Chicago Police Department is assigning 2,500 officers to the DNC. An additional 500 officers from departments across Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

will assist the CPD. And back at Rush, doctors and nurses say they know they're on the front lines and are prepared, but they're hoping the worst-case scenarios never unfold. So I have two more clips in this series. How many people, how many pro-Palestinian demonstrators, because that's what's being talked about, do you think they expect in Chicago? Ten thousand. Yeah, four different Muslim organizations based here in Chicago. We gave this press briefing this morning saying upwards of 100,000 protesters, demonstrators expected in the streets of Chicago just a week from today.

These are three main protests that we are talking about that are planned. Next Monday as well as next Wednesday and Thursday, the largest of the demonstrations, two of them, first on Monday the 19th and Thursday the 22nd, that would be the first and last days of the DNC. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they have formed a collective to have these protests be in large numbers. And while they represent a number of different interests, they say their focus will be the Israeli-Palestinian war.

They say there will also be meetings with Democratic leaders in Sondra, the convention about the U.S. response in the Middle East. Their push is to get President Biden to arrange a permanent ceasefire and work toward a Palestinian state before he leaves office. So they say a hundred thousand, which sounds like a lot, but I've no reason to doubt it just yet. And they are mad. They're mad.

They're already pre-mad. So things could pop up. They're pre-mad. Oh, that's a good thing. Oh yeah They're already pre-mad. So things could pop up. They're pre-mad. Oh yeah, they're pre-mad. Hey Robin and Larry, organizers with the coalition to march on the DNC say their ability to share their message is being hindered. They're speaking out again after getting a letter yesterday, denying some of their requests. Now the city granted organizers the use of two parks for rallies with restrictions in place. The letter reads in part, quote, no stages or platforms, portable restrooms or toilets, tents or canopies or sound equipment may be installed by your organization.

The city defended its stance, giving several reasons, including the items create a public safety risk. The permit office says tents and porta potties can also be used to conceal illegal activities or broken down to become weapons. It also says those pieces of the structures, again, could be broken down and used against people or the police. The coalition predicts tens of thousands to march next week for more than 200 organizations

across the country. Its organizers feel the rules put in place make it impossible to share their messages. Those include calling for an end of U.S. aid to Israel and showing their disdain with the Democratic Party, specifically the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Okay. So they get a dumb route. They get no place to poop.

That'll make you pretty mad. That'll make you pretty mad. That'll make you mad. Well, you know, the funny thing is we, months ago we anticipated this, talking about the 68 convention where they had a riot. I put a video in the show notes, like a 10, like 15 minute documentary of what happened.

Man, that was harsh. Yeah. That was harsh. And they, the key was, as we discussed months ago, was they had to stretch this war out in the Middle East war. They couldn't have a ceasefire, have anything going on that was going to slow it down. So they had to get past the convention, which I am actually surprised they got that this far.

And they did. So it's going to be riot take all. It's going to be very entertaining for people who watch it on TV. Which is the best place to be. The best place is to watch it. You don't want to be there. No. Especially if you saw that 68 documentary where they were clubbing

everybody got clubbed. And it got really bad. It was not good. So I want to switch to Biden here for a second because he will of course be speaking on the first day, which is not the best spot. Unless you're going to do something radical, we still don't know. We don't even know which Joe is going to show up. Will it be daddy long legs? Something I never really put a lot of credence into is, you know, they're hiring social media influencers to do stuff.

Well, of course they are. Of course they are. So this is something that goes viral. Everyone loses their minds. Like, oh, they're paying, everybody's paying influencers. Come on. Of course they're doing that. Here's an example. Just the other day, I received an email

for a paid promotion, paid, for me to make a video and post it on TikTok talking about the Democratic side. At the end of this email, it says, if you want to get things going, we'll send over an NDA for you to sign, and we'll get started. I know a lot of people get their views and their opinions and their beliefs based off of what their favorite influencers are saying. Just know

they might have been paid to say the things they're saying. Okay, well, of course they're doing that. And President Biden paid a visit to the White House Creator Economy Conference. No, it's not evangelicals, it is the influencers. And I think they were already given their NDAs and he spoke to them. And I want you to listen because I'm hearing something new from this Biden. And I'll stop it once I've heard it a couple of times.

And I think what you guys are doing, and it's not the national press, they're good people. They're not that crazy about me, but I like them. What's he chuckled for? What? He's chuckled in there. He says the national press, they're good people. No, that's not what I'm going after. Listen. They're not that crazy about me, but I like them.

But they'll tell you. I'm putting words in their mouth and they're going to write about how I'm wrong. But they'll tell you how things have changed. How things have changed. There are no editors anymore. I am hearing dentures. I'm hearing dentures go... I'm hearing them clicking in his mouth.

Never heard this before. And once you hear it, it's hard not to hear it. And so this will be a distinction between this Joe and any other Joe. And I'm not even sure if this is Daddy Longlegs or not. There's no editors anymore. You want to get your new you want to get your name in the news you want to get a click it's not always best to get it by doing something positive and by the I'm not being facetious these are really bright smart decent people but it's all changed. I hope you all thought about the

consequence of what you're undertaking, what it means. And what an ob- presumptuous me may sound like a preacher, but what obligations you have to do it on the level. Do it on the level. So, for example, when I do this thing tomorrow, hope a couple of you show up because it really matters. It's how we explain to ordinary people who are busting their rear ends. This to me sounds like the real Joe. Yeah, it does to me too because there's a couple of emphasis words he uses that are very common. I want to say this on the level thing. So you go in there, you're signing an NDA, right off the spot, right at the beginning, once you sign an NDA, you're not on the level.

Of course not. Hello? You cannot sign, if you're a journalist or even an influence or whatever, you cannot sign one of these NDAs. You just don't do it. And what was fun? I think I signed, I think I've signed, what did I ever sign? I may have signed, yeah, I signed one when I quit Mevio. Really? No, we got you there, didn't we?

Well, what was it going to do anyway? It was just an, it was not really an NDA. It was a non-dispersion. Yeah. Oh, sure. Sure. Which you've not really held to. Well, I was a non-disparagement thinking I got money for it.

I was gone by then. Five grand or something just didn't shut up. Wow, wow, I was gone by then. Ah, crap, I didn't get any money. I didn't get any money. No NDA, no nothing. Let me play the second clip because this is the end of this visit at the Creator Economy Conference and Biden says, okay, I'll take any questions from you influencers, from you

creators. Not a single one asks a question. No, instead, the M5M who's apparently plastered all over the place just start yelling questions and you can hear the handlers going, okay, thank you. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. It's it's I found this to be entertaining.

Now my staff always tells me this any of the any of the non press you're going to non press want to ask me a question you can ask me. I may not answer it. This is so the original Joe. My staff always tells me any don't add. I can't take a question from a non press only. I may not answer it non press but I'd like to stay on topic. I don't want to get into talking about what's going on in foreign policy and the like right now.

But if anyone asked me what I've it. I'm happy to retouch. I'll respond. What did you say as the president? Have an answer. I'm not talking to you guys. No. No. Thank you, Russ.

Yes. It's a new program, guys, and then Google's always ready to answer. Shh. I'm not going to answer your question. I'm talking to them first, the audience first, OK? No, I'm not talking to you mainstreamers. Thank you so much. Thank you, Russ. Thank you so much. Thank you, Russ.

Thank you, Russ. And they're getting shut down. How much is inflation? Has the U.S. beat inflation, Mr. President? Yes, yes, yes. I told you we're going to have a soft landing. We're going to have a soft landing. My policies are working. Start right that way. So Joe's talking to the press.

Get everybody out. Thank you so much. We's talking to the press, get everybody out. So what you heard there from one of the mainstreamers, I believe to be a pressure tactic on Biden that they have now launched to keep him in line because bro, bro, Joe, Joe, bro, you better do what we tell you during the convention or we're going to go after your kid. There is new controversy surrounding Hunter Biden this morning related to his business dealings when his father was vice president. The New York Times is reporting that Hunter Biden asked for help from the U.S. ambassador to Italy as he sought to make a business deal in 2016.

The Times cited documents and interviews which referred to a deal Hunter attempted to make for a Ukrainian gas company in Italy. Hunter Biden's lawyer said his client asked various people to introduce a company representative to the president of the Tuscany region. It's unclear whether government officials tried to help. It's a complete non-story. But all of a sudden, oh, Hunter Biden, oh, he's in the news again. Oh, no, Hunter.

This is messaging. This is, hey, hey, hey, hey, calm down, everybody. Yeah. Yeah, I think probably maybe. Hey, calm down everybody. Yeah. Yeah, I think probably maybe. Dude, the more the stuff that comes out about Hunter, the more I start to think maybe he was a real player, you know, doing these deals here and there. Of course he was a player.

Of course he was. And he was like, you know, he's just a dumb guy. He doesn't know anything. And meanwhile, he's doing these deals left and right. Yeah, he had good deals. Yeah, of course. That's how it works. Do you mind if I, um, if I, if I steal your three by three and do a three by three? Oh, did Steve send them three by three?

He didn't realize it. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, I don't think he realized that he sent me a three by three and maybe he meant to send them to you No, I don't think so. I think I think he's I've been kicked to the curb You probably complained I think is what happened. No way. It wasn't even listed as a three by three. And I said, wait a minute, there's three clips on the same topic. It's MSNBC, CNN, and MSN.

So it's actually not a full. It's Alex Wagner, that horrible woman on CNN with John Bolton and then morning Joe. This is the way, not no way. Did you hear about this? This is not a three by three at all. This is a fringe three by three of anything. Fringe.

It's a funny three by three. Trump made this very strange claim about a supposed conversation he had with Russian President Putin about Putin's desire to invade Ukraine. Again, I said to Vladimir Putin, I said, don't do it. You can't do it, Vladimir. You do it. It's going to be a bad day. You cannot do it.

And I told him things that what I do. And he said, no way. And I said, way. He said, no way. And then I said, way. And then I said, party on, Vlad. And he said, party on, Don, because this was actually an episode of Wayne's World and not something that actually happened in reality. So I guess this is from the call. I totally believe that he said to Putin, hey, no way you're going to do that. And Putin went, no, what do you mean?

Is he, no way, yeah way. But this was much of much hilarity to everybody in the mainstream. Trump said quote, I said- Yeah, well, it's fringe. These are not mainstream. Okay. They're still fun to listen to. It's not-

I'm not complaining about that, but I just think, you know, if it was ABC, CBS and NBC, okay, it's different. That's why you didn't get them because he didn't want Steve Jobs. No, the reason I didn't get them is because you scolded the brothers. No, I did not. You gave them John Clips. That's a lot. And that's how I talk? Really? Yeah, that's exactly right. Uncanny resemblance. It's so good. In fact, I went, hey man, you're giving Dvorak all the good stuff. Send some to me, please.

Trump said, quote, I said to Putin, don't do it, Vladimir. And I told him things that what I would do. And he said, no way. And I said, way. And Trump says, it's the last time we had the conversation. He would have never done. I get along very well with him and I hope to get along well with him again. It's a good thing, not a bad thing.

What do you make of one, just that story, but also Trump's argue of how much influence he has on the Russian leader? Well, I think Trump's making that up. He certainly didn't have that conversation with Putin when I was in the White House. I don't believe he had it before then. I can't really speak to what came after. But this is another case of Trump making things up that it's hard to prove or disprove. He can say he had some private conversation at a dinner at a G20 meeting or something like that. I don't think it happened and I don't think that there was really an occasion for private conversation at a dinner at a G20 meeting or something like that.

I don't think it happened and I don't think that there was really an occasion for Trump to have that conversation but it fits the persona that Trump thinks he has. Well, I mean it's an incredibly serious conversation and obviously the Ukrainians are duly involved but just to hear him describing it as, I mean it sounds like two high school girls. I told him things that what I would do and he said, no way. She sounds like a high school girl with that adenoid she's got. She's got those in a funny kind of a way. She sounds like a kid.

Way, no way. It's like two high school girls. I told him things that what I would do and he said, no way. And I said, way. I mean, is that how world leaders talk from your experience? No, it's not even how Donald Trump talks. It's how he wished he talked and how he wished he could show that he's the big alpha guy. And then finally, morning Joe.

I know Putin very well. I got along. Hey, don't be moaning. We put up with your three by threes all the time. Oh, now there you go. Now it comes out. I knew it. I know Putin very well.

I got along with him very well. He respected me and it's just one of those things. We would talk a lot about Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye, but I said, don't ever do it. Don't ever do it. You can't do it. That was awesome They I was that in the original call

Where he went all Satan? Like don't ever do it don't ever do it But I said don't ever do it don't ever do it. You can't do it Vladimir. You do it. Do you think that was that? Did they put that in on purpose or what was that? I have no idea. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me, but hard to say. That was interesting. I don't hear him do that voice that much, that's for sure. No, but this is an audio anomaly. This is not Trump doing it, but it just, I don't recall that.

But I said, don't ever do it. Don't ever do it. You can't do it. That sounds like you're right. It sounds like they doctored it. Yeah. I don't know, you do it. It's going to be a bad day. You't do it black. That sounds like you're right. It sounds like they doctored it. Yeah. I don't know, you do it, it's gonna be a bad day.

You cannot do it. And I told him things that what I do, and he said, no way. And I said, way. The highest level of diplomacy there. Come on. A little valley girl diplomacy there. Way.

Wow. Who was that? Who was Zappa? Witz Zappa? Moon unit Zappa? The woods valley girl? Yeah. I think so.

Yeah. Yeah. He channeling Moon unit there. That's pretty awesome. No way. And he's so proud of his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Just won't come off that position. Oh yes, really.

Oh yes. Yeah, it probably kind of. Those are all MSNBC clips, weren't they? No, the second one was CNN. With Bolton. That was CNN. The only reason I say Bolton, yeah. The only reason I say that is because I noticed this, this on Fox. On Fox, they, if you watch the five.

I try not to. I'm just saying, I'm just, let me finish. If you watch The Five, you're watching a warm-up show for The Gut Field Show. Yeah. He practices his gags and they have the same topics. You go from The Five to Laura Frau Ingraham, same exact topics.

Then you cut to Hannity. What happened to Waters? Waters. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Wow. Our boy, don't skip our boy. You go to Waters, same topics, exact same topics. You go to Hannity, exact same topics.

You go to the Gutfeld show, the same. It's just like they just keep pounding the same topics the next day, same things, repeat, rinse and repeat. And I sense that they do that. I don't listen to all the MSNBC shows, but it's like these guys, there's not enough, you know, they say, oh, a 24 hour news cycle. It's just like two hours of news period that you can do over and over and over for a whole day and you do the next day.

It's just pathetic. It's easy to fill 24 hours on a cable channel, Janet. It's unbelievable. Janet told us we were crazy. Janet. It was Janet, wasn't it Janet? I don't know. You guys are crazy if you think you can fill a cable channel. Oh, it was Janet. Yeah. Janet, yeah, we got back and forth with it. She apologized and I shoot her out for apologizing. Yeah, don't apologize. We need this. We apologize.

We're having nothing but fun. This is good. It's very good. All right. Yeah, Janet. Should we just do Israel quickly? Israel before we move on? Do I have anything on Israel? I don't know. I have a couple, which I think there's some things amiss with what's being

reported to us. I think I have like one thing maybe. I got mostly Ukraine today. Yeah, I got Ukraine too. But what's your Israel thing? Where is it? I'm looking for it. I don't see it. This is very professional. You're supposed to say, and I have this thing about Israel and then I- Oh, here it is. No, that's not it. Yeah, no, here I got this. No, that's not it. The problem is Harris, when I put my glasses on, Harris looks like

Hamas on the list. That can happen. It happens to the best of us. I'm going to change that to Harry Ball. I don't think so. Here you go. Ceasefire talks. I got it.

It's been over eight months of negotiations for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Israel and Hamas have yet to make a deal. The US says it's urgent to make a deal now to prevent a wider war. NTD's Jason Perry has the details. Officials are headed to Qatar for high-stakes ceasefire talks beginning on Thursday. These talks are aimed at addressing the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. Officials from Israel, the United States, Egypt and Qatar are expected to be in attendance. Israel, the United States, Egypt and Qatar are expected to be in attendance. And US officials have said that time is urgent to reach a deal to prevent a wider war from happening.

President Biden said that if a ceasefire deal is reached, then Iran may refrain from attacking Israel, according to Axios. Iran has vowed to attack Israel after Hamas political leader Ismael Haniyeh was recently killed in Tehran. Haniyeh was previously involved in the ceasefire talks. And his position as political leader of Hamas has been filled by Hamas leader Yahya Senwar, who some believe to be located deep inside a tunnel in the Gaza Strip. However, Hamas said on Wednesday that it would not take part in the latest ceasefire

negotiations in Qatar. Hamas official Osama Hamdan said the only way Hamas will participate in the talks is if they focus on implementing the proposal detailed by President Biden in May. The U.S. referred to it as an Israeli proposal and Hamas agreed to it in principle. But Israel later said that Biden's speech was not entirely consistent with the proposal itself, but how much progress can be made without Hamas taking part in the talks. The US said it expects indirect talks to go ahead as planned and that a ceasefire is still possible. As of now, it's still unclear whether Hamas will participate. But

a State Department spokesperson said Tuesday that representatives of Qatar have assured the US they would. So absent from this conversation is Trump. He's absent from this conversation. And remember, he had Bibi over at the house. They hung out for a bit, did a little press hit there, and I'm sure some kind of deal was made. Like, bro, I got to be the one to solve this. You can't give this to them. And I think there's a lot of shenanigans going on with this.

This is the same thing you have with Reagan. Yeah, the hostages, the October surprise. Precisely. But there was something in that clip about urgent. It's urgent. And this is, I mean, I don't even know how this happened. Who ordered the aircraft carrier? Who ordered the nuclear submarine?

Which normally we don't talk about, but oh, now we're announcing it. Yeah, I find that peculiar too. Its sense of urgency is the key here. Well, there were two announcements in the statement from the Pentagon. First, the deployment of the USS Georgia that guided... What are you moaning about? This woman, she's from France 24, and she talks with a kind of a thing that goes like this. And she never... she's like a hummer.

She just keeps yammering and she's a very annoying person. I think we should ban her from any clips in the future. Okay, done. Employment of the USS Georgia, that guided missile submarine that you mentioned, and it has to be noted that it's pretty rare for the Pentagon, for the US, to actually publicly state submarine movements.

So that in itself is pretty significant. There was also another announcement in that statement that Lloyd Austin had also ordered the Abraham Lincoln strike group to accelerate its redeployment to the Middle East. The Lincoln strike group had already been ordered to relocate from the Asia Pacific region to the Middle East, but the defense secretary asked for them to do that even faster. So it gives an idea of the sense of urgency coming from the Pentagon. Now, it wasn't clear for either one of these groups how quickly they're going to get to the Middle East, but the message of urgency was definitely clear

and was clear in the statement that said that the U.S. was taking every possible step to defend Israel in light of escalating regional tension. This was all announced in a readout of a call between the US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant. And it comes as there have been reports coming out of a new Israeli assessment about the imminence of a possible response by the Iranians, something that was communicated, it seems, by you, Avgalant, to Lloyd Austin. So hold on a second. Doesn't the president determine when we go into a war zone in the region?

Is it just Lloyd Austin who has a phone call? He says, oh, it's urgent. I mean, do you know what this costs? Oh, can you imagine? Hundreds of millions of dollars is what this costs. Oh, no, it's urgent. It's a very urgent sense of, where's Biden saying this? Where's Vice President Harris talking about this? This is not normal.

This is your military industrial base moving- It's out of control. Yes. Moving assets wherever they want, do whatever. Yeah, we need some more money in the pipe. Money in the pipe, people. And then this guy, the envoy. We continue to believe that a diplomatic resolution is achievable because we continue to believe

that no one truly wants a full scale war between Lebanon and Israel, especially not the Lebanese people and the Israeli people." The US envoy Amos Hoekstein met with Lebanese Speaker Naby Berry in Beirut on Wednesday after nearly 10 months of crossfire exchanges on the Israel-Lebanon border, and tensions which reached boiling point recently after the killings of a top Hezbollah commander and Hamas political leader. Senior Iranian officials have said only a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas could halt a direct retaliation in Israel, a deal Hoxdeen hopes to achieve. Speaker Barry and I also talked about the framework agreement that's on the table for

a Gaza ceasefire and he and I agreed there is no more time to waste and there's no more valid excuses from any party for any further delay. But hopes for a ceasefire dimmed once again on Wednesday when Hamas said it would not take part in the discussions slated to resume in Qatar on Thursday. So this guy, Hoxstein, I look him up, I would be thinking military guy, you know, CIA guy. No, he's an energy guy. He was in Obama's administration, assistant to the president and senior advisor for energy and investment. That's what he is under Joe Biden, I'm sorry.

He was in the Obama administration, served under Clinton and Kerry, its state. He was the assistant secretary of state for energy resources. In March 2017, he joined Telluron, a private Houston-based LNG company. Of course, he's on the board of the Atlantic Council, also on the supervisory board of Ukrainian NAFTA gas. This is an energy guy. This is about oil. And I think it's about the price of oil. They want to either drive it up or not drive it up. I don't know. But what is the energy guy doing as the envoy?

Well, I was hoping since you discovered this that you'd explain it. I have no idea other than it has it has to do with I would believe he's trying to make sure that oil doesn't go crazy because that will of course increase inflation right around the numbers for the third quarter, which should be right around election time. I mean, we have seen oil inch up a little bit. But you're gonna have the whole market collapse

just before the election. And that would be good. That would be fun. It doesn't matter. It's all good for the show. And then the other thing is that Egypt turns out is not a good actor in all of this. And that may mean, for example, on the disputes about how to secure the Egyptian Gaza border,

which of course was, we've now discovered, the main gateway for Hamas. That's where all the arms and the materials and even the cars and the militants that went in and out of the country to train, they went through the Gaza-Egyptian border. How is it going to be secured? Well, the United States appears to be putting on the table a plan where it would help Egypt seal those tunnels and help and work with Egypt and Israel to set up technology and other ways to monitor that border. So I think we're seeing number one, more aggressive

position by the United States and the mediators to solve the problems. And as I said, this time these Gaza ceasefire talks are happening in the context of a potential wider escalation. And that danger has also created a kind of urgency that may push these talks forward. Yeah, there's something big happening. What I do not expect is Iran to launch anything. I don't expect any of that. Just more- So Steve Forbes was on with Kudlow.

Oh. And he predicted that, or said the possibility exists that Biden is going to quit. Ooh, ooh, but can he do it on stage? He might. He thinks it might happen at the Democratic National Convention. Which is what we've been discussing. Well, we've been discussing that he's going to go on and win his votes back. No, we had three options. One, I want my votes back.

Two, Keel's over. Well, that's right. Yeah, Keel's over. Three, nothing, which would be the worst. If he does nothing. So the idea is that he's going to quit. Oh, man. Kamala is going to become president so she can be the incumbent when she runs against Trump.

And she's going to start the war with Iran. Because she's an idiot. No, no, it'll start and then Trump will swoop in and broker a deal and get the hostages back, whatever's left of them. Apparently they've blown a couple more up. Oh yeah, there's any hostages left. It'll be a miracle. I mean, this is history is rhyming. It really is. There's a lot of 68 in this. We don't know, but we will be on the foreground. We'll be on the forefront. We'll be right here.

Yeah, and we'll be more objective in these media to be the fringe or the mainstream. They're all full of crap. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in public coal. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeMora. Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curley. Morning on a ship to see Wilson and Ralphie

and the air sub to the water of the Dames, the nights out there. Yeah, let's take a look at our trolls here. Let me count them. Who's in the troll room? The big 20, huh? Biddle, biddle, biddle, biddle. Yeah, we're take a look at our trolls here. Let me count them. Who's in the troll room? The big 20, huh? The little weirdo. Yeah, we're late in the count.

So they got bored. 1890. Duh. Yeah, I know. But I know, I'm sorry. We should have stopped while we were on a high. You can't be doing three by threes. That'll drive everyone away.

Nah, I'm sorry. But that is still almost 2000 trolls checking us out in the troll room. It's not bad for a little old podcast on a Thursday when people should be working. In fact, we got all kinds of people working for us, which is nice, working for the good of the show, which is phenomenal. Should be working. Yes, they should be working. You can join them if you're working.

Go to trollroom.io or grab a modern podcast app so you can get alerted when we go live in case you forgot. I mean, how could it just remember Thursdays and Sundays is the no agenda show. It's what you look forward to during your entire week, especially on Thursday when you're at work. You can get that at podcastapps.com. We operate value for value, which is really the way to go.

Holy moly. I don't know if you've seen the stories, but Salem media group, big group of radio stations, their core business fell by 5.2% even after they sold off, I think, eight of their local radio stations. Their core business fell by 5.2% even after they sold off, I think, eight of their local radio stations. Two million, nearly $2 million decline in local spot advertising. Although they did, the numbers were okay because they, because of political advertising, which was up 198%.

Oh yeah. Now's the time to make the money. CBS, News Radio 88, Out of Business, Getting Rid of It, in New York, is going to become ESPN Sports. So, of course- Wow, how many sports can we take? Well, I mean, you know, they're all relying on garbage remnant advertising, but the one that is most relevant is people who think that value for value, which is the model that we run on and value for value means we put it out, the show, we expect nothing, we hope

you support us. Otherwise you can expect to receive nothing eventually. There's no levels, no memberships, no subscriptions, you can do whatever you want. No premium content. Zero premium content. You can send it to us in time, talent or treasure. The show itself is premium content. Patreon has now announced that Apple is going to start taking its 30% App Store fee on top of their 8% for all donations that are run through Patreon. Well, Patreon is an app and most people use the Patreon app to support shows.

And Patreon has their own billing system. And Apple said, you know, you've been running this for a while and we're not going to take that anymore. So now either. Oh, so this is like Apple when they, when you have these, uh, uh, apps that have payment systems within the app outside of Apple. Yep. That's over. They don't like that. No, they say you're violating our terms of service. Either you give us 30% of everything that runs through your app or we kick you off the app store,

of everything that runs through your app or we kick you off the app store. Which is going to affect a lot of podcasters, 40,000 of them. That's interesting. When did that happen? That happened yesterday. The news broke, breaking. The news broke yesterday. Breaking, breaking, alert. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So what's, has Patreon said anything about this?

Yeah, Patreon's crying. Like, hey, basically they're saying, well, you know, either you eat it and we stay in the app store or you don't eat it, meaning the creators, creators, or the supporters, because it's subscription based. You know, you subscribe for a level to get your premium content. Premium content. Premium content, that's right. Whereas we just give you premium content right there up front, no levels. This show is premium content.

We are, we are, no agenda. We are premium content. Exactly. So while I feel bad, I'm very happy we chose for this model. I feel bad. You don't feel bad at all. I don't. I'm like, yeah, it just proves that we were right. Almost 17 years ago, we said, you know, this is the only way to do it any other way. You can put anybody else in between and it's gonna be a problem. That's why we have PayPal, we have Stripe, we have multiple ways for you to support the show.

And checks, I was just gonna say. Box 339, here, let me just do that plug. You have a check, you wanna send us a check, that's what you wanna do. Box three, it's the No Agenda Show, box 339, you can rewind this, box 339 you can rewind this box 339 El Cerrito EL CERR ITO California 94530 and it's a great way to do it because there's only a very small charge for handling the checks. 15 cents total. And you

can send them directly from your bank account in America at least I don't know if you can do that from everywhere but in America you can set them directly from your bank account in America, at least. I don't know if you can do that from everywhere, but in America, you can set it up and it'll just send a paper checkout. And you can schedule it, you can do whatever you want. It works really, really well. So that's the financial part of Value for Value, which clearly is needed because we've got a lot of podcasters in peril. Podcasters in peril.

In peril, I tell you. And we're squeaking through once again. Thanks to our lovely supporters, which includes our artists who are diligently working on creating art for this episode. They do it when they should be working. Now they're Dutch masters, so they're all, it's like 8 p.m., 9 p.m., their time. So they are off duty, but there are some in the United States and other territories who work who are also Dutch masters. They just don't live in Holland because that's all we've got is masters of fine art. And we love having a new piece for every single show. And it was in fact Darren O'Neill, a non-artist, a prompt jockey.

A prompt jockey of the highest order. I hesitate to tell you that you're banging something. It's the... Yeah, I am banging something. I can feel it when I'm banging it. Yeah, well we can hear it. Yeah, well that's just... Yeah. There's a couple of lewd jokes in there. I don't think I can structure them properly

to get the kind of laugh I'm looking for. Darren O'Neill tickled our fancy with his clown strike. Your data is not safe at all image. We did go back and forth on this. We in fact discussed specifically lawsuits. this, we in fact discussed specifically lawsuits. So we really don't want to get a lawsuit from CrowdStrike, but we felt ultimately that the parody value was large enough. Yeah, it was a joke.

We're kidding. Yeah. Nanu, nanu. Um, there was once again, a lot of AI. You kind of liked another Darren O'Neill piece, which was Kamala Harris as a pig, to which I said, come on, man, come on, man, come on, man. We're not really going to do that, are we? No, we can't do that.

That's not good. I thought that was funny. It was Animal Farm 2024 because we talked about Animal Farm. And then you saw it made sense in the context of the show. In the context of the show, yeah. But a lot of people thought this art was just junk. The Darren piece? When I say that, it was because they were discussing it.

Yeah, this particular one artist goes and does a, kind of a rundown of all the pieces in order of quality. This is junk, Darren junk. Well, what else was there? I mean, keep memeing, go to jail, no, not funny. AOL stuff, which was not understandable. Well, you had the one you liked was the Toast Clown, the gruesome one. I did.

No, I said, you're not going to like that one because it's gruesome. I mean, you were right. And the other one, and we discussed Nestworks wrong magazine, which you thought was too simple, I think was the term you used. Where was that? That's the one up top there with wrong, wired magazine, wrong magazine. Oh, right, right, the wired magazine.

Yeah, you didn't like that one. And everything else was just either AI or no good. I mean, stop with the Camela AI already. Yeah, we don't want to see that. Goodness gracious. No, we're just not going to use it. Ugh. So, by the way, bonus clip, CrowdStrike.

EULA, the EULA of CrowdStrike, we've been discussing this, is under attack. Did you hear the latest news about ULAWs? Yes, I did. You want to hear a clip? I got two clips here. Yeah, play the clip. Amy Tank, Swanon. NYU Langone physician from Plainview was vigilant, says her best friend, when she dined out.

Her severe dairy and nut allergy always communicated. It would not only be her that would make the staff aware, it would be whoever was with her and we would reiterate. According to her husband's lawsuit in October at the Disney Springs restaurant Raglan Road, the waiter guaranteed certain foods could be made allergen free and confirmed several more times. She died soon after from anaphylactis due to elevated levels of dairy and nuts in her system.

Her cousin, attorney Peter Ghiattano calls Disney's response shocking and absurd because years earlier her husband, Jeffrey Piccolo, signed up for Disney Plus. He signed away his rights to sue. Now this was the most fascinating use of a EULA I've ever heard. Here's the concluding clip. She was stolen from him and now in effect what Disney's doing is trying to steal his day in court. And that's a fundamental right that we all have. Disney cites fine print in the agreement which requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.

It claims Piccolo also okayed a similar agreement more recently when he bought Epcot tickets online. This would create just a horrific and horrible precedent if you open up your phone and look down at all the services and things that you subscribe to. But legal experts say we're signing consumer arbitration agreements all the time and courts have ruled them enforceable. Arbitration must be fair

and can be cheaper than a jury trial, but... You're also less likely to get those big punitive damages that you hear about. You're less likely to get the sympathy factor. The case could have implications for anyone who's ever signed a user agreement. Usually just crawl it up a bottom and hit okay. I just like hit the circle where you accept and then I just hit continue.

I think it's wrong. I mean people aren't going to be really fine print. Amazing. Even if he bought the tickets and had nothing to do with Disney Plus and there was a EULA there. I mean all of this. Look at the back of your ticket. If it's a paper ticket. It's gotta go. It's gotta go, this has to stop. We need better, we need. This is abuse, this is abuse of the system. It is, it is. These aren't really, these are bull crap. Just have your kids do the work.

If you're signing up for Disney+, have your kid do it, because they're under 21 or 18 or whatever the age is, if they're 16, 15, 14. That's a good hack. Legally not, they can't sign a contract. they're under 21 or 18 or whatever the ages, if they're 16, 15, 14, legally not, they can't sign a contract. No, that's a good hack. Actually. It is a hack. I didn't do it. My kid did. I think we should have some kind of EULA for this show.

There is one. It's the terms of, there's a terms of use that we have in terms of endearment that is on the website that discusses this. It's quite unique. This type of insight and these life hacks you only get from your No Agenda show, surely that is value that you'd like to return. And anonymous from central Ohio definitely thought so and sent us $1,000 and says, gents, gents, this donation is made in two parts. One of 667 to bring me to knighthood. This is my birthday gift to myself.

And I'd like to be known as Dame of Raccoon Valley at the round table, like a slice of key lime pie. I cannot be a Dame with a douche bag, but smoking hot husband. So I'd like to do a switcheroo with the remaining 333 and call him anonymous husband of central Ohio and please de-douche him. You've been de-douched. I've enjoyed listening for several years and hope this keeps the sad puppies away for a

while. So that means we add, I guess, means we add him to the list as an executive producer. Yeah. Right? Okay. I just want to make sure. And I have to put the slice of key lime pie at the round table. So you got it. We will take care of it and make sure that he is on the list and that you have your key lime pie. And nows of the famous nows family, big supporters, Petrolia, Ontario, Canada, 482. I'm not sure if this is Canadian money that is hard to say, but it's 42. So it doesn't matter. Uh, ITM Jens's a switchereroo. This donation is for Sir Bird Dog of Glenray. He has donated monthly for years since his initial knighthood while hitting many in the mouth.

Yes, I have a penny. This donation will effectively bring me back to knighthood status officially. There's your penny. I was at a back to school orientation yesterday and the principal was giving her presentation on the coming school year. She started talking about how our school was a strong communite. Okay, communite. Strong communite and how we must work together for it to continue to grow and thrive.

And the slide that appeared next was community commitments, time, talent, treasure. Yay. Did she hit you up for some donations? I've seen the numbers begging me to donate, but never have I seen the words. There were a couple of reasons this slide shocked me. Well, the donation was, it shocked you because it, we drilled it into your head. That's right.

Two, I talked about the value for value model with some of the school leaders of the year and they were intrigued. I explained to them how the model worked and the No Agenda podcast that created it. And here a year later, I didn't even get credit. However, let this be proof the model is growing and reaching more human resources all over the world. With that said, may I be knighted Sir Kretschman of the White Water Valley at the roundtable. Could I have a warped wing brewery gamma bomb beer,

neon movie theater popcorn, and a box of Bunch O' Crunch. Jeez. I need a Trump aroused Trump massive dumps and a shut up at science. Thank you for your courage, Jason Critchman in Richmond, Indiana. You know, I think he sent a note in complaining this letter took forever to get to us. Well, we got it. It was hard to get it aroused and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused. They did dumps.

They call them dumps. Big massive dumps. Shut up already. It's science. You know, classic. Shut up already. It's science. Oh, classic. Classic jingle there. Then we have Tim, what?

It was just, I'm looking at the, I need to blow that one up. I was having trouble reading it. Tim Frick is next. He also sent in a note with 333.33, our favorite donation amount. And he says, in the morning, gentlemen, thank you for your service, for keeping me sane over the years

Oh, is it trendy? Is it trendy? Oh, Peaberry. Yes, it's just a little history just for people who want to know. So Peaberry are these little bitty coffee beans that were always just thrown out. They were discarded in the process of... This is like lobster where they used to feed it to prisoners and they turned it into a premium product. Oh, interesting.

So the pea berry was filtered out. They have these grates and the big beans is the ones you want to keep. The little junky pea berries, they threw them out for years. And then somebody, I guess the staff or somebody was putting them aside and making coffee. you want to keep the little junkie pea berries. They threw them out for years. And then somebody, you know, I guess the staff or somebody was putting them aside and making coffee with them. It turns out that the little ones, it reminds me of wild strawberries, by the way, strawberries when they're smaller, better. Um, it turns out that these berries are really made a really good cup of coffee.

Linda Lupatkin in Lakewood, Colorado finally comes in to 200 bucks and she wants

jobs karma and John's donate. Donate, donate. A fellow No Agenda producer called me to ask if I was really donating $200 to the show. What is that question?

I like to do the Ukraine stuff and get it out of the way. Good idea. Good idea. This, by the way, if I can just start us off with a little boots on the ground, this 1,000 kilometers from what I'm hearing is bull crap. That I'm getting videos of Ukraine special forces being annihilated on beaches, being blown to smithereens, that yeah, maybe it was 10 kilometers they got but not a hundred kilometers a thousand kilometers square kilometers so that's what i'm getting from the inside

i have three clips uh one is um incursion one incursion Incursion? Ohhhhhhh It's under Ukraine. Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry. Ukraine Incursion. I gotcha, I gotcha. Ukraine today claims it's advancing deeper into the Kursk region in Russia. That's as both the White House and State Department continue voicing support for Kiev as the offensive continues. I expect we'll continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Ukrainian partners. The State Department on Wednesday saying it'll continue supporting Ukraine to defend itself

against Russia. This comes a week after Ukraine launched a surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region. Russia's emergency ministry released this video on Wednesday showing people being evacuated from a town in Kursk. Ukraine meanwhile published this video, saying it shows the moment its soldiers pulled down a Russian flag. And the incursion continues. Ukraine's army chief gave this update when speaking to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Since the start of today, troops have advanced around one mile in various directions. Since the beginning of this day, we've captured about 100 enemy soldiers. Newly released satellite footage shows that Russia has dug trenches in the region. Russia's foreign ministry accused Ukraine of stalling potential progress in peace talks. With their terrorist actions in the Kursk area, Ukraine has, at minimum, put peace talks on pause for a long time. In my opinion, they did this intentionally. Peace talks with an absolutely inadequate enemy is unnatural. But the White House says peace doesn't depend on Ukraine. This war can end today. It could if Russia would stop the war, the war that they started.

Okay, I love that every report has that flag being taken down. Oh, there's proof. Look at the flag. Yeah, that's pretty lame because then we have Jean-Pierre Van Damme making a conclusion that as if she knows anything. Let's go to part two of this clip. Meanwhile, the governor of the Russian Bolgorod region says the situation continues to be extremely difficult and tense. Bolgorod is next to Kursk, where Ukraine launched a surprise incursion last week. There are daily shellings by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, destroyed homes, injured and killed peaceful civilians. Therefore, we have decided to declare a regional-level state of emergency. The governor says the state of emergency will help to provide more protection.

Okay. And now, okay, that went nowhere. So let's go to the... No. Yeah. Then I think about it, I did, that went nowhere. So let's go to the, yeah. Um, I think about it. I don't have a third clip. Well, I have two clips. What appears to me that is happening here is the long show predicted demilitarized

zone is being created and I think some of that is apparent in this clip. Kiev's incursion that's rattled the Kremlin marks the largest attack on Russia since World War II and a significant progress in the Ukrainian war effort after months on the back foot. Progress President Zelensky is pleased about. I thank all our warriors, every soldier of ours, every sergeant, every officer who defends our country. Our advance in the Kursk region is going well today. We are reaching our strategic goal." According to Ukrainian authorities, it aims to establish a buffer zone in Kursk to protect its own border communities from

shelling, as well as building humanitarian corridors to help Russian civilians. Kyiv says its troops have advanced into 1,000 square meters of the Kursk territory. Oh, now it's 1,000 square meters. Oh, that's interesting. It's always been 1,000 square meters. I've never heard of 1,000. Oh, I am so sure I heard 1,000 kilometers. No, I've never heard this. Oh, so that's literally a kilometer. Yeah.

The previous report also said a mile, so it's similar. No, but okay. No. No, a mile is 1.8 kilometers. It's not similar. It's similar. It's double. It's not double. Double would be two, not 1.8.

It's closer to double than it is to similar. Okay. ...Russian territory. And whilst Moscow has acknowledged the Ukrainian gains, they insist the advance is smaller than Kiev has claimed. Russia's defense ministry attests it had repelled Ukraine's attempts to push deeper and released images purporting to show fighter jets at work, as well as footage that it claims shows captured Ukrainian soldiers. So when you say this is our strategic goal and it's to create a buffer zone, that to

me says set up for demilitarized zone. No one else seems to understand what they've done other than this, oh wow, it's going well, it's really good, it's fantastic, good work Vlad. No, vlog. By the way, just for your information, one mile is 1.6. 1.6. You're right. I was wrong. Still, I was not right. I said one. Okay. But this is the big news, which has meaning. German media are reporting that prosecutors here have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect behind has meaning. pipelines off the Danish island of Bornholm in September 2022, months after the start

of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The pipelines were supposed to bring Russian gas into Europe, but were not in operation at the time of the blasts. So the story goes that private businessmen funded this shoestring operation, including this is just this makes zero sense. Oh, no, it doesn't. But, but this line does. This was funded on a shoestring, as a shoestring operation done from that, that stupid, they call it a yacht,

but it's basically some sailboat, which was overseen by a top general. President Zelensky, reports say, approved the plan, then tried unsuccessfully to call it off. In May of 2022, a handful of senior Ukrainian military officers and businessmen had gathered to toast their country's remarkable success in halting the Russian invasion. Buoyed by alcohol and patriotic fervor, somebody suggested a radical next step, destroying

Nord Stream. Now, what is interesting is the Dutch newspapers are reporting this morning that the Dutch Ministry, the CIA, the Dutch CIA, intelligence services, knew that this was taking place. And here's, this is the giveaway. After the downing of MH17, they say the Dutch set up a very sophisticated intelligence network in Ukraine and Russia. And, and this is all from the Wall Street Journal reporting, by the way. Um, and so they knew that these guys were plotting this and planning this. So all I can take away from what is being reported here by Deutsche Welle, a direct line to us intelligence is that they just want to pin it on Zelensky.

Maybe they're worried about something coming up in a debate or some other place, but they needed to stop the story that it was the US, it was Biden, literally Biden who said that he was going to do it. We haven't forgotten. Biden said, we have the clip. He's let me see. Do we still have that clip? Oh, we do. We do.

But who knows what it's both. Nord Stream. No. Well, probably somewhere. He said that, no, the Nord Stream is not going to happen. We will make sure that that doesn't happen. It's not not gonna continue so You know, this is pinning it on Zelensky, but he tried he tried to stop it. No

No, I am as you would say not buying it. This is clearly pinning it on Zelensky So we have a demilitarized zone we We have Zelensky being blamed. Stuff's on the move. Stuff is on the move. On the move. I think that's that. Yeah, that is that. I have a couple of a clip I want to play. Okay. Local news.

Local news. Local news. This is the Democrats in action here in California. And I just found this to be distressing and I found the rationale for it to be even more distressing. What do you think it means when somebody, some murderer is put in jail and found guilty and put in for life without possibility of parole. Okay. What does that mean to you? Well, it depends. Am I living in California?

Just what does it mean to you in general? Means you're going to rot in jail. Yeah, well, not in California. I want to play this clip. This is the Cal bill. Meantime, lawmakers in the state assembly are reintroducing a controversial bill that allows early release for some convicted felons serving life without parole. The bill creates a process to reduce sentences for offenders who have been incarcerated for

at least 25 years. Those convicted of murder could be eligible, but not if they killed a police officer or were a serial killer. SB94 was moved back into assembly circulation just yesterday without assembly discussion at the request of San Jose State Senator Dave Cortese. Supporters of the measure say it provides a process for criminals who were convicted before many state criminal justice reforms were enacted. Lovely. What's it got to do with criminal justice reform? Criminal justice reform is not to let murderers out who were convicted given a life sentence

specifically without possibility of parole, which is what it is. specifically without possibility of parole, which is what it is. What is wrong with these people? It's California, man. Hey, the guy's been in too long, man. Let's let him out. But he said, no parole, none. Forget it. Life without parole. No, no, no. That's no good. Dare I ask what this guy looked like? What guy? The guy who was sentenced to life without parole.

No, no, they're not doing it. It's not for a guy. This is in general. In general? This is an assembly bill that's been put forth to make it so everybody gets out. Oh, cool. It's not for some guy. It's cool.

So does that mean they'll be letting a whole bunch of people out of jail soon? No, well, the bill hasn't passed, but it's a Democrat bill sponsored by Democrats. They're not going to do anything with this until after the election, then they'll do it. And they actually may not do it because Newsom is taking a hard line. Newsom's seeing the writing on the wall and he says to himself self. I don't think Ken was going to win this thing. I'm on deck. And if she doesn't win it, I'm up in 28.

I better clean up the state. I got four years to do it. And I also learned that he needs to clean up the state for the Olympics. Yeah, LA, yeah. Yeah. In particular. Yeah. It's going to be the Olympics in 2028 in Los Angeles.

Although they do have events up here when they have the Olympics in LA. I have been to an Olympic event. We have the best producers in the universe. There's no doubt about it. So I'd like to read a couple of brief boots on the ground. We also have a lot of TSA agents who listen. And that's good. Yeah, that's very good. And I just like to share what they said to us because and I noticed this by the way we were on a trip, we went through San Antonio airport. They are so

nice and so just calm and relaxed about things. There's no more yelling. I don't know if that's just San Antonio, but I also didn't- It's probably just San Antonio. It was the same in Boston at Logan. They were just nice. It's almost like, hey everybody, here's a memo. Everybody be nice.

Oh, that could be. Adam and John just listened to the show, heard about the anonymous reports from the airport and TSA. Couple of things, one, we as officers could care less if people opt out. This is about your picture being taken, which they just slipped in there. I don't blame them frankly, it would do the same. They are not flagged for opting out. However, there are tons of cameras all over the airport. The machine is just verifying if your ID is real. Because these days, you don't have to show a boarding pass. You have to show your ID it connects it to to your travel document so you're in the system. Two, if you wear baggy saggy pants a belt or leave stuff in your

pockets the machine highlights in the groin it is especially unforgiving to males. Get pre-check. So baggy pants if you don't have TSA pre-check will flag you because you've got something hanging. At three we barely communicate with the airlines at a checkpoint level and we do not watch the people who make complaints. I think you guys give us way too much credit. watch the people who make complaints. I think you guys give us way too much credit. Personal opinion after being here five plus years is this is just a government's job program. The pay is good for what is expected but most of us understand the show we are putting on daily. Well that's nice to know. Yeah

security theater that's what we've always called it. Yeah it's good. Then on the legal note. The theater does work with dummies by the way, so it's not a bad thing. No, not at all. You had an interesting set of clips on the last show about, it was Ritter and Tulsi talking about a chilling effect. Chilling effect, yes, this is a good note. And this is our producer saying, I hope our constitutional lawyer already sent you a note, but in case he is AWOL, the quote chilling effect language from Ritter and Tulsi

is a specific legal concept for First Amendment cases. You can challenge government laws and actions under the First Amendment if you can prove it has a chilling effect on your speech, i.e. major expression of protected speech difficult. I would assume there's a lawsuit brewing and that is the reason for the coordinated mention of this legal term. And of course, our constitutional lawyer Rob checked in.

He says, yes, the chilling effect language is all over the First Amendment jurisprudence. Sometimes he says, I wish I could be like the guy they keep at the booth during football games who explains the referee's calls. We need a hotline. Well, you can always hotline me Rob, always. So that's a good update. This is good stuff to know. Then the, oh man, I love the sound of your new mic, but phew, it's a banger.

I didn't even touch it. Well, you're banging something. No, I picked up a piece of paper. That banged. Yes, so banging is a banging note. So we played a couple of pool boy clips of the FBI whistleblower. No, that's right. And, uh, and immediately concluded that the Pakistani who wanted to kill Trump was one of these

six week cycle bonus deals. And wouldn't you know it, the whistleblower calls into Beck and says exactly that. And then the last thing that I definitely want to get to is this Pakistani national. Now this is what I like to call the playbook that the FBI has been running the last two and a half decades, particularly since nine 11 where essentially what they do to justify their existence as a bureaucracy, as a self-looking ice cream cone, they will identify a vulnerable person and emotion disturbed,

maybe some with radical intentions, but not capable of carrying forward an actual attack without the involvement of the FBI. They'll identify them, use confidential human sources, use undercovers and then groom them for as long as it takes to engage or at least agree to engage in an activity that can be labeled as terrorism. And then they will arrest them. And the added wrinkle here was that they imported this Pakistani through the border.

They sponsored him arriving, arriving. The FBI Dallas office actually was a signee on him arriving and it wasn't just to slap the cuffs on him. They followed him and orchestrated this plot that could never have happened without the involvement of the government for three months and then justify their existence with this big dismantlement stack, which is also tied to their quotas. This is just the, the FBI version of death and furious, but except with the exception of being guns with the ATF, we are now running terrorists so that we can justify our existence as an agency. There you go.

Those of you who have been listening to the NO Agenda Show for more than a decade will have already known this. That's why Glenn Beck makes a hundred million dollars a year. He's a hard working guy. He works very hard. He's got a great museum. I want to play this, this is off the wall clip. I've been wanting to play this clip for a while.

This is the, especially here from in California where our students are all stupid now. This is a Mississippi reading has increased dramatically in quality. Ten years ago, Mississippi's elementary students ranked near the bottom in literacy. Today the state has soared to the 21st spot in the nation. NDD's Dana Monahan speaks with the Mississippi Department of Education Literacy's director about how the state achieved those results. Mississippi ranked 49th in the United States for elementary school literacy 10 years ago. Fourth graders were essentially an entire grade level behind the rest of the nation. In 2023, 85% of third graders passed the state reading test,

thanks to a shift from balanced literacy to the science of reading approach. In balanced literacy, students are taught to use cues to guess words and then memorize them. The science of reading approach uses phonics, so students understand how words look and sound as they acquire vocabulary. The systems of language is explicit, it's systematic, there's a scoping sequence of foundational skills that have to be taught to students that go from very easy skills to more complex skills. And you know so it's really, but they're really direct type of reading instruction where we're not playing a guessing game.

Mississippi Department of Education Literacy Director Kristen Wells-Wynn says they created key strategies and an early literacy policy that was very detailed to implement the changes. We had to go back and retrain all of our teachers. We had to go back and retrain all of our leaders, retrain all of our IHL professors. And so we opened up professional development grounded in the science of reading at all stakeholder levels. And so we offered that free to all educators from the state level. They also put coaching support in place to help classroom teachers take those practices

and implement them in their classrooms. And it worked. It worked. This is something from the 1800s. This is phonics. They implemented phonics, which is the way I learned to read when I was a kid. Remember the old sound it out, sound it out.

What's the word? Sound it out. P-H, you know, is spelled, pronounced like an F. And so you read. Hooked on phonics, remember that? Hooked on phonics. Yes, phonics was all, so what they changed to some other screwball methodology.

In fact, I looked this up and there's a technique called evidence based re reading. What is, what is evidence based reading? This is all the weird crap that these guys had instead of the old classics like phonics, they've dev they've devolved into this horrible methodologies that that don't work. And then they wonder why nobody can read. Beyond me, beyond me.

There is a note here from the millennial guys, the millennial show in the troll room. Mississippian here, he says the improvement in the numbers has to do with a change in the assessment method, not an improvement on the scale it's touted to be. Well, that wouldn't surprise me either. They just changed the scale. Well, I'd like to, so in other words, that nothing's changed is what he's saying. I find that hard to believe.

I think if you go back to the basics of phonics that you will get a big improvement. It seems logical as opposed to evidence-based reading. What happened to Common Core? The Common Core guys still got in there and it added all these complexities that don't work and I have no idea why they even began with it. Millennial media offensive says

there was a small improvement. Okay. All right. Despite the change, well, that is kind of the trick that the education has been using for years is just change the scale, make it different. Hey, my nephew is 18, he just graduated. The whole family is like,

that guy should not have graduated. We love Joey, by the way, but there's no way he should have graduated. And he's in Indiana. So we know that they just said, just let him go. Let him go. Well, while on the topic of education, let's go to how the British universities are all going broke. Oh, I was not aware of this. Nearly half of British universities are facing budget deficits because of falling numbers

of international students. This poses risks to their future and has prompted calls to restructure their business model. NTD's international correspondent Malcolm Hudson has this report. British universities are facing financial troubles. According to the Higher Education Regulator, the Office for Students, 40% of universities are on a budget deficit. That means they're spending more than they have coming in. James Tully, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, explains why. How do they get into this problem?

Their business model became over reliant on international students. This is the key thing, particularly from China, but from many countries. Thule said recent visa policy changes have reduced the number of international students coming to the UK. They used to be able to bring their families with them, but the previous administration toughened rules to stop this in most cases, as a way to lower immigration levels. And Thule says the new Labour government doesn't look like it will change the policy. So this really upset the universities. They were reliant on the international students

because they charge international students whatever they like. Yeah, full price. The fees are typically fixed for home students, for students from England, and so their complete business model was thrown out of kilter. And this is a severe problem for universities. A report by the University of Warwick and consultancy firm Public First recommended creating a fund to provide state-backed loans to universities. This $3.2 billion fund would help universities to restructure to prevent collapse. No, bring back the immigrants. There's your answer.

Bring them back. Bring back the money. They were all benefiting from it. Yeah, well those days are over. They have the same problem in the United States with these foreign students, especially the Chinese. Yeah. But the Chinese, one of the little things that has to be understood is as the Chinese students.

And when I was a kid, at Cal, there was a lot of Chinese students then, and they were all nationals. Oh man, and I've flown up there in the San Francisco region. But I remember, I think I flew to Camp Curry, this is years ago, from San Francisco to Camp Curry Yosemite and you're flying around and you and a lot of them are in aviation school and you cannot understand what they're saying. It's dangerous. Whoa, even ATC is going like, can you talk slower? I do not understand what you're saying. Not trying to be racist, but...

A lot of the students, I think, that graduated from even the British schools, Chinese in particular, they've gone back and people their own universities to make them very competitive. There's a lot of no reason for them to necessarily come over here, I think, at this point. Well, there's probably no reason for anyone to go to university at all anyway. I'm sure it's just as woke and stupid as it is here. Well, here we go with part two. Thule said he doesn't think the government will allow any of the most prestigious universities to go out of business. But they will encourage mergers and acquisitions and linkups so that if there's a university in town X that looks as though it's suffering

then it might link up with another university in town Y and become the University of XY. Thule said British universities should start thinking about how to manage their resources more effectively in the face of a receding customer base. Be it saving money in departments or using their buildings more efficiently and attracting more students too. And he added that universities themselves have contingency plans. So no foreign students, if you're thinking about coming to the UK to university, no foreign students should be deterred by anything that I've said or anything they've heard because the universities want you to come. He said that if anything financially extreme happens to

a British University students will still be taken care of very well thanks to these contingency plans. Yeah go ahead taxpayers fantastic beautiful. I would like to update us on the latest going on in climate change because there has not really been room for climate change news because of, you know, obviously this existential threat known as climate change is not as important as Trump and Harris, much more important. And it's local to you, California. You probably didn't know this. New data shows that our state had its hottest month ever in July.

Always. Ever. Ever. The National Science for Environmental Information published a report yesterday. The average temperature across our state last month was nearly 82 degrees. That was almost two degrees higher than the previous record set back in July of 2021. The climate data for our state goes back to 1895. Researchers say the record high temps last month

here in our state, further evidence of human caused climate change, they warn we are likely to see above average temps this month as well. All of this as we look ahead to the Olympics, four years from now, in the middle of July. Cooking. Cooking.

It's gonna be cooking, baby. It's gonna be cooking. Yeah, sure. And then... By the way, the temperature here in California, where I am, has been very... 68, yeah. Yeah, 68.

I know, but I look at it, we've had a beautiful summer. We haven't hit maybe two days above a hundred. It's been phenomenal. And then this NBC report, which was just unbelievable. What a bunch of lies. We're back with our series, Climate Challenge. Climate challenge is now the climate challenge. They're weakening it. They're weakening it. The climate challenge is now the climate challenge. Ah, they're weakening it. They're weakening it. The climate challenge. We're back with our series, Climate Challenge. Researchers along the California coast looking at why an alarming number of sea lions and at least two dolphins are getting sick. Liz Kreutz has a closer look.

Come on in, Liz. In California, an urgent race to save dozens of sea lions showing up sick and disoriented on beaches along the central coast. The Marine Mammal Center is responding to a multitude of calls here and rescuing them. So far, volunteers here have responded to nearly 150 sea lions and at least two dolphins, all showing signs of poisoning from domoic acid, a neurotoxin from algae that gets into the fish these animals eat and can flare up during the summer. The Marine Mammal Center says this outbreak has been longer and more intense, and to human

health as well. Are humans at risk? There's a risk. Right now, currently, there isn't a warning for human consumption, but sea lions are the first indicators of that toxin being in the environment. Although there's still much to learn about domoic acid outbreaks, experts say a strong upwelling of cold water

and our warming climate are contributing factors. These algae do well in warm environments. And so if we're seeing more of that and an increase in that, then that's definitely a factor for these events. Sea lions, a sentinel for our oceans health. Bullshit. It's called the Red Tide. They couldn't even bring themselves to say it.

It's the Red Tide. This happens all the time. It's cyclical. Did you know there's Red Tide on the California coastline? It wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, it's red tide. We also have an urchin problem. No, I don't know about that. Purple urchins.

But it's a red tide. Because of climate change. That's what bugs me. And then, sad news, very, very sad news from the Copernicus Institute. I can't believe they even released the report. Stand by everybody the pivot is here. Earth's run of record-setting heat has finally ended at

13 months. According to the European Climate Agency Copernicus temperatures in July just missed the record set last year. What happened to hottest ever in California? Oh no, oh no, oh no,, no. Oh, no. Its switch is changed. The El Nino weather pattern, which normally warms the Pacific Ocean, spurred the heat streak. Now that it's passing, temperatures are cooling just a bit. Global temperatures averaged 62.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Oh, what happened to boiling earth?

And what do you think the El Nino had something to do with the Red Tide? Probably. They don't ever bring this up. They never make the connections. But the global earth temperature is 62 on average. Where's the boiling? The global temperatures averaged 62.4 degrees Fahrenheit in July, 1.2 degrees above the 30-year average, but not enough to break the previous record. July 22nd and 23rd were the hottest days ever recorded. In Seattle, the record was set on June 28th, 2021, when the thermometer topped 108 degrees. Climate change has driven

severe weather events like flooding in South Africa, a fatal landslide in Indonesia, and officials say more than 120 people died from record heat in Tokyo. Oh, please. I mean, is anyone—there's the recorder again. I haven't heard that in a while. Does anyone believe— No, this is actually a cuckoo thing. It does—it's the only notes it plays. Oh, it's a cuckoo thing. Cuckoo, cuck actually a cuckoo thing. It doesn't, it's only notes at plays. Oh, it's a cuckoo thing. Doesn't play anything else. Okay.

Uh, the only other, uh, clips I'd like to play unless you have something is, uh, just like to update us on the AI bubble. It is after all my beat. I cannot get off of it. I'm waiting for it to all fall apart. What are you seeing in the markets? It is after all my beat. I cannot get off of it. I'm waiting for it to all fall apart. What are you seeing in the markets? What do you see in the markets?

Nothing. Well, CBC, the front burner podcast, brought on this guy named Paris Marx, who I guess has a newsletter. There's business in that newsletter stuff. And I have two clips. Here he is talking about the obvious AI bubble that people on the street, Wall Street, are starting to see. How prevalent is this bubble idea now?

Like how big is this theory for people who are watching the tech world? Yeah, it's very common. People like me have been talking about it as a bubble for a long time, like me. But it's interesting now, Goldman Sachs had a report out last month, the major investment bank explicitly calling it a bubble and questioning the productivity benefits that would come from it and saying that investors can make money from this, but we think it's very inflated and that these numbers are going to come down. Sequoia Capital, which is one of the biggest venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, also had a report out recently talking about it as a bubble and saying that these tools need to

basically find $600 billion in revenue if they're going to be profitable. The information, a major tech publication was recently talking about how OpenAI could lose $5 billion this year alone because it's making so little money, but what it's offering to the public is so expensive to run. So this is becoming like a pretty common concern at this point. And I think you've really seen it gain a lot more traction over the past couple of weeks as we've seen these challenges in the stock market after these major drops that have somewhat recovered at this point. But there's still concern that these things could drop a lot again very soon.

Oh, concern, concern in the markets. And this is where I need your feedback because he now says this is a playbook. This is a playbook that Silicon Valley uses over and over again and takes us back to the dot-com bubble of 2000. How did we end up here? How did it get to this point? Yeah, that's a really great question. Oh, whoa. You know, I think it's always interesting to think back about the way that the tech industry has structured itself for quite a long time, right? You talked earlier about the dot com bubble and then, you know, how that burst in the

early 2000s. And there's an author, Malcolm Harris, who wrote this book Palo Alto, where he basically argues that the lesson the tech industry took from that moment, right? That big inflation of the values of tech stocks and then their crash was not so much to never do this again, but rather that it was a good model to keep doing, by hyping up a certain technology, getting the values of certain stocks to really increase,

and then knowing when to get out at the exact precise moment before it crashes again, and just to kind of keep doing that again and again and again. And that is what we've seen with a lot of technologies, right? If we go back to the mid 2010s, there were a lot of promises about how self-driving cars were going to wipe out a ton of jobs in, say,

trucking and taxi driving and all this kind of stuff. And that never really happened, right? We had the significant increase in deliveries now. Uber is still a very popular thing. There's still a lot of people doing that work. Rather, just the conditions of their work changed because of how the technologies were rolled out. We've seen that time and again.

Crypto didn't transform the financial industry in a really major way. We're not living in the metaverse now, as Mark Zuckerberg predicted. It's full of crap. It's totally full of crap. Where was the bubble with the self-driving cars? Where was the bubble? No, that's not what he's saying. He's saying- What he's saying, yeah, it's exactly what he's saying.

He's saying, there's these bubbles, they come and they go and they get exploited. Buy NVIDIA now, John, it's a guaranteed winner. Good thing. Go for it. Closest to the pin. Go for it. Go for it. Yeah. I am just waiting for this to happen. I don't believe. Yeah, well, you can wait.

It's going to happen. It always does, but it's not going to happen tomorrow. No, not tomorrow. It won't happen tomorrow. Final clip for me. This was just the funniest clip that went viral. This is Caitlin Collins from CNN. On the Colbert show. Just loved it. Trump has kind of been thrown on his heels by this and he's not really sure how to go

after Vice President Harris. He knew his attack lines on President Biden. He really has struggled with how to go after someone who's 20 years younger than him, who is a different gender, a different race. It's kind of been this moment where he has not been able to coalesce around a single attack line. I know you guys are objective over there that you just report the news as it is. No, I know. CNN makes it.

That's supposed to be a lab line. It wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it is. The people know. The people are onto it. Even Colbert's audience. Yeah, that really surprised me. Colbert's audience got a kick out of that line. It doesn't surprise me at all. Somebody analyzed it and said, you know, Colbert wouldn't have even said that if he ever watched CNN. No, that's a good point.

Yeah. Oh well. He was just, you know, blathering away. Got it. Ended up with a laugh line. Yeah. I love the laugh line. Is that a laugh line?

Is that how they talk in cable news? I've got a great laugh line, everybody. John, you had some great laugh lines in this show. I have one last clip then. This is the walls. This is getting back to the balls of the balls, balls guy. Harry balls. This is a comment he makes and I have it written down as a kicker so there's something funny in here. I'm looking for what it might be titled it's not under W for walls. Oh it is W LZ I'm sorry. Minnesota governor Tim Walls

is economic policies aimed to directly help the working and middle class by taxing businesses and the wealthy. It was nurses it was, and it was state and local government employees that built this nation. Minnesota has the sixth highest state tax rate in 2024 at around 6.875%. Whoa. It was state workers that built this country? What? That's right. Oh, it was state workers that built this country. That's right.

Actually, I have a, an additional tip of the day that we'll talk about just that. So you will have a tip. And then I also have a, I have a travel tip of the day that talks about the workers who built this country. Yes, I was, but we'll get to that after. Imagine all the people who could do that. Yes, I was. But we'll get to that after. And as you heard earlier, the tips of the day are very valuable. People even sending in donations thanking us for these tips. So you might want to stick around. The irony is that my tip of the day is also travel related. Oh, that is ironic.

No, random number. Random number theory. We want to thank our producers. In fact, we do thank all of them who come in $50 or above. Under $50 we don't mention because that is the cutoff for anonymity. Many people like to be anonymous and be assured of it. And some send even multiple donations under 50 to take care of business. And as always, we recommend everybody try a sustaining donation, which you can set up yourself.

Thank God. I like the drums in the background where you're talking because it sounds like we're at a beatnik club in the 50s. Oh that's what you're going for. Oh well in that case continue. I'm going for the beatnik club. You just have to say certain beatnik terms once in a while. Groovy man. I don't know if that's it. Far out. Far out.

Goodbye. It's too easy. Yeah, but that's the one that can always, it be a fallback. It's a fallback, yes. Here's the kids saying wow. Wow. I kind of like that one. Okay, yeah. There's a girl saying oh no. Oh no. Ooh, ooh, contender, contender. I have this one I think is one that would be very funny and ironic, which is subscribe. Don't forget to subscribe. Smash that like button and subscribe. You can subscribe to the podcast.

That's true. That's true. You could. That's true. Don't forget to. I'm liking it. I'm liking it. And then last is woo. Woo! I think... Don't forget to subscribe.

I think that's the one, John. Yeah, I think that could be good. That's really good. Well, with that out of the way, which means that will be the very last thing you hear from us today. It's always the end of Show ISO. Now it is time for not one, but a double tip of the ISO. Now it is time for not one but a double tip of the day. Yeah, today is one of those sometimes Adam days. This was a producer, producer Joe. And I just a tip I should use myself is a really good tip.

Okay. May I, may I mention by the way, lots of people love the, the wire, the wire line tip. Oh yes. The wire line tip is the home networking. Yes. People from power line network. People from all over the world were just so happy with that tip. They really love it. What's funny about it is that it's an ignored technology that is very efficient. Yes.

Somehow along the lines. I mean, I remember when it first came out, it didn't work. It was causing all kinds of issues and then years went by and then all of a sudden now it's working at two gigabits. I mean, he's crazy. It's crazy talk. Um... Okay, this guy is... Great tip.

Turn off fuel efficient routes on Google Maps. Oh. You can look for a video on it because it turns out that they'll just run you around and fuel efficient. You don't want that. You want the best route, not the fuel efficient route. Oh. So... fuel efficient, you don't want that. You want the best route, not the fuel efficient route.

Oh, is that something you have to opt out of? Do they automatically do that? Yes, because it's automatically turned on, turns out, they turn it on and then you have to go to your settings and find out, you can look it up on a Google, on a YouTube video, there's plenty of them, just say how to turn off fuel efficient route on Google Maps and turn Google Maps. Wow.

And turn it off. Wow. That's a good tip. That's right up there with turn off the, you know, on X, you automatically opted in to all of your tweets being sucked into the Grok AI. Grok. Yeah, did you know that?

No. Yeah, you might want to turn that off in your settings. I will. Elon's stealing from you, man. Stealing. So here's a travel tip. We went to the Boston area Monday for two reasons. One, we went to go see the Doobie Brothers in concert,

which was quite a good show, but Steve Winwood opened up. Oh, that's cute. Steve Winwood, who is now 76 years old. This is the Xfinity Center in, what was it, Foxborough, I think. This 10 or 12,000 people, it's pretty big amphitheater. Now, even though it was a little tough for him to get up off the piano bench

for playing the Hammond B3, he kicks absolute ass. Did he show up to Doobie Brothers? Yes. Even though he was the opening act, he does about an hour, he did Mr. Fantasy, which is a classic traffic song. A third of that song is guitar solo. I didn't even know he played guitar. And he played that solo. It was phenomenal. It was absolutely stunning. And I think he blew the doobies away. Now, he blew the doobies away, man. Now, the other reason we went is we had seen this documentary called Monumental and it's about this monument in Plymouth.

Plymouth, of course, is best known for the Plymouth Rock. So everyone goes to Plymouth, you can go see the Plymouth Rock, which believe me is the biggest disappointment you've ever seen. Yeah, it's just a rock. And when you read the sign, when you read the plaque about the rock, it's not even the rock. No, it's a phony rock. It's a fake news rock. They got a big monument built around it and people look at it, it's like, this is a rock. People throw pennies on it. Why you throw a penny on the rock?

Well, for good luck. This is dumb. It's a dumb rock. We did take the little visit on the Mayflower too, which is a replica. It actually does sail. But what you want to see is the National Monument to the Forefathers. I had never heard of this. They never taught me this in school. It's about a mile away from the rock.

And it is the biggest granite structure in the United States. And it is, for all intents and purposes, it is the true Georgia guide stone of the United States. And the founders, the forefathers, not the founders, the forefathers came up with this idea. It was completed in 1889. It took them 50 years to build some war in the middle or something.

And it shows the elements of the United States, morality, law, liberty, and education. And when you see this thing, you think, why have I never learned about this monument? I mean, it's, you know, it's even more annoying. What? I'm the educated one and you told me you're going to go see this thing. So I'm looking it up too. I never heard of this thing. It's really cool.

And it's, it's right in the middle of, of a residential area. There's no t-shirt stamp, there's no IPA, no there's nothing. Now I want to go see it. It is a travel tip that if you're gonna go see the stupid rock, go do that, buy your t-shirt, but then go to the National Monument to the Forefathers. It's an outstanding educational moment. It's huge in the looks of it. It is huge. And there's no ropes. You can go up there, you can walk around, you can touch it.

There's no one there. There's nobody knows about it. You got to wonder why. It's like a secret. They keep it a secret so you can keep the public dumbed down, vote for Camelot. Yes, because everything about this says, don't let anybody know that these are the four things that makes America great. And then just as a side note, we also went up to the Lexington Green, where the shot that was heard around the world known as the birthplace of American liberty.

I didn't know about that either. Do you know about this? This is where Paul Revere rode. Yeah, he rode down the street. Yeah, and then so it was 800 British soldiers against a rag-tag bunch of 30 guys. And that's when, that was 1775. That's when we started to say, hey, you know what, British, suck it! It's not good news, it's good advice. John sees tip of the day.

And sometimes, Adam, that's right, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes. There you go. For the people who didn't stay for the tip, sorry for you. I think this is a winner, John, your tip of the day. And you know, sometimes mine it's people like it. They learn.

Thank one of our producers for coming up with the idea. Oh, there you go. That's right. Yeah, that's right. One of our producers. Brunetti. Yeah. Was it Brunetti? It was Brunetti. Mega producer, Dana Brunetti, everybody. That's right. One of our producers. Brunetti. Yeah, was it Brunetti? It was Brunetti. Mega producer Dana Brunetti everybody.

That's right. He's now retired. End of show mixes come to us from 60 Seconds of Philosophy and the Jones Brothers both Neil and Steve sending in mixes today. Boy, gotta love them for it. Right after this program ends, and I do recommend you stay tuned for the end of show mixes. Oh, look at this. Curry and the Keeper, episode 100, titled Phoebe Fail.

And we actually talk about our trip. I didn't realize that. Cotton Gin, thanks for setting it up. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg, Texas. FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. DeVorek we return on Sunday for more of your media deconstruction remember us at noagenda

donations.com until Sunday adios mofos a hooey hooey and such the doctor. Lady lady lady lady. You know he would never do it but she thinks yeah she's a hell of a doctor. That's the kind of first lady, lady, lady, lady, who this Joe Biden will be. And then all this stuff about Dr. Jill. Look, nobody in America who's got a doctorate in

education is called doctor. It's not done. Lady, lady, lady, lady. For her to keep calling herself doctor, just point out, she's not a real doctor. So, he said lady and then he lost his train of thought to pick it up. He said lady again, thinking it would happen, then he couldn't, then he said it again. And again, I think he said it three times or four times. Lady, lady, lady, lady. That's where he goes, lady, lady, lady. Like he sounds like Jerry Lewis.

There are certain professions that yes, if you have a doctor, you're called doctor. For the rest of them, you're not. That's the kind of first lady, lady, lady, lady. This Jill Biden will be. I want to ask you about a specific kind of gender-affirming care, and that is surgeries for minors. Surgeries, surgeries, surgeries, surgeries for minors. I don't think the science is where a lot of people on the trans rights universe say it,

is the puberty blocker stuff has real dramatic consequences, and there's a lot of sort of social contagion stuff involved in a lot of this. Five signs you might be gender fluid. At least they were for me. 25 states now have laws that bar transgender minors under 18 from having gender-affirming care care such as puberty blockers or hormones or in rare cases surgery, surgery, surgery for minors. The correct term of what I'm going to be talking about is called a total hysterectomy with an oophorectomy. You don't want to make permanent life-changing surgical alterations to the people, make it impossible for them to have kids.

Total hysterectomy with an oophorectomy. Surgeries for minors. One can draw distinctions between life-changing permanent surgical operations. Oophorectomy. permanent surgical operations. You've read to me. But if a kid wanted to have his arm cut off, you would all agree the state should intervene. This isn't that. This isn't that.

Now that you've had your gender affirming hysterectomy, what should you expect? Well, in my practice, I perform the surgery with very small incisions that's minimally invasive so that all of my patients can go home the same day. Look, and again, look, this is preaching to the choir, but the choir needs to sing. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. Just do the damn work.

Please, please, do what you can. We're all in this. We're all undefeated. We got an opportunity on this. And again, keep hammering on these guys. Talk to your neighbors. This is transformational for several generations. But we can get out there, reach out, make the case.

And for one thing, don't ever shy away from our progressive values. We have communities that are gonna pay the price because we don't address socialism. It's a damn plan. And again, here's the great news. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. Thanks, folks.
