Starting point is 00:00:00 Return of the sin of the sausages! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, September 26th, 2024. This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media Assassination episode 1698. This is No Agenda. Going into Founders Mode and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all say hello to Eric Adams,
Starting point is 00:00:28 the Mayor of New York City. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Man, friends of mine in New York are like, our God is good. They are really loving the Eric Adams saga. Unbelievable. Yes, but what is it?
Starting point is 00:00:49 Oh, well, it's completely not known. That's the beauty of it. It's like, no, no, no, of course not. We don't it's like, all that's ever mentioned is well, some, some donation money from indicted Turkey, Turkey Turkey actually I On one of the clips I didn't clip it, but they flashed up countries that had somehow participated in You know Illegal campaign donations and they had five flags China Turkey Israel How was this there There's two more.
Starting point is 00:01:26 But that doesn't seem to be what this is about at all. I mean, there's so much going on in New York. Hold on a second. I have a couple of short clips about it. Breaking! We begin with breaking news this evening and the political earthquake that is rocking New York City. Sources telling CNN that Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted and at least one federal,
Starting point is 00:01:53 federal criminal charge. The indictment is now under seal, so the nature of the charges is unclear as we are sitting here tonight. But we do know that Mayor Adams has been the center of a corruption investigation for months. The feds have been looking into possible campaign fundraising violations and foreign influence. Adams, the former cop turned Democratic mayor, has previously denied
Starting point is 00:02:16 any wrongdoing and remains defiant tonight. I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit. If I'm charged, I know I am innocent. I love this statement. If I'm charged, I know I'm innocent. I don't know what it's about, but I am innocent. Request an immediate trial so the New Yorkers can hear the truth. The mayor's administration has been plagued with resignations as of late, which has led to a steady call for him to step down, even before this has happened.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Calls will only grow louder after tonight, of course, with Adam Zinke now becoming the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal federal charges. Not just federal, but federal federal charges. There's something much bigger going on. I mean it just seems so obvious And it was only a few days ago when They went to arrest a former prosecutor and judge in Orange County, New York They showed up the the troopers showed up and the guy kills himself. I
Starting point is 00:03:24 They showed up, the troopers showed up and the guy kills himself. I mean, the only time people do that when the fed show up is if you're involved in some kind of kiddie porn. That's always, always the case. And it kind of fits with another numb nut, which kudos to Crowder. Oh, there's a title for you. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Nobody can forget when COVID left thousands of New Yorkers dead and also forced much of the city to shut down and prompted mask mandates, social distancing, and vaccination mandates. Those policies were written in part by senior health advisor, Dr. Jay Varma. Even the most rare events.
Starting point is 00:04:06 That's him at City Hall three years ago, the same place where dozens of teachers, firefighters, EMTs and other city workers who lost their jobs for not getting vaccinated or for other COVID protocol violations gathered Monday at midday. I could care less what he does, but he affected my freedom and my ability to make a living. Dr. Jay Varma said he had to be involved in drug-fueled sex parties, which I don't care about.
Starting point is 00:04:32 But he needed that to be his authentic self. What about my authentic self as a teacher? They talk about undercover video of Varma released last week by the conservative website Louder with Crowder, in which Varma said that while the rest of the city was ordered to socially distance, mask up and get vaccinated, he was a group sex parties and other gatherings. Bring Dr. Varma in for an oversight hearing to hold him accountable. Varma did not respond to our request for comment, but did say in a public statement after the video was released, unfortunately, I was targeted by an operative for an extremist right-wing
Starting point is 00:05:13 organization determined to malign public health officials. I participated in two private gatherings. I take responsibility for not using the best judgment at the time. I can't help but think this is all related to Diddy I just can't help it You know, it's like this is cleanup Cuz you know something's weirds going on this guy. Oh, there it is. We're 11 11. Thank you Oh my god, yeah, we're even Steven 1111 right at the top of the show. Yes W word
Starting point is 00:05:42 There's something screwy about this and this guy who's an obvious creep. Dr. Varma. Yeah. Varma. Varma. Varma. Varma. Oh, racist. What I think is interesting is that the people who report this, they all say, well, it's not that it's a bad thing to have a sex party. It's not that that's a bad thing, but, and then they go on and on, but, you know. In a basement under a bank. Maybe it is a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Well, in a basement under a bank. For a health department official to be screwing aimlessly, you know, in a sex orgy, this doesn't sound like a health department guy. If you know these guys, they're freaked out about everything. You probably got Mpox. Now this feels like clean up and everybody in New York knows that all Eric Adams does is swagger. Swagger in the club. Where's our guy? Which guy? Eric Adams impersonator. Oh wow that's a good point. Our guy should be all over this. Maybe he quit.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I think he should stop listening to the show. Maybe it was actually Eric Adams. He can't do it anymore because he's going to the slammer. No one's focusing on the actual charges, which I guess are being revealed. How can you focus on them when they don't give them to you? Exactly. So, but it seems backwards. And all they're doing is just getting everybody, they're sweeping everybody, including his
Starting point is 00:07:16 lawyer. This is a non-info clip, but it does talk about everybody who's somehow wrapped up in scandal surrounding the New York mayor. Here are just some of the faces of the people who have had their home searched or their phone seized over the last year as part of multiple federal investigations. They're all closely connected to Mayor Eric Adams, from his police commissioner, Edward Caban, who resigned, to the man he appointed as head of schools, David Banks, who announced his retirement to
Starting point is 00:07:50 Banks's domestic partner, the mayor's first deputy mayor, Sheena Wright. By the way, that guy's like 80. She's 25. That's I mean, I don't want to be one to call someone out on huge age differences, but kind of weird. Ah! Damn! What?
Starting point is 00:08:08 What did you just do? I don't know. I'm out of control. 12 for me, 11 for you. I'm sad. I've finally evened the score. Don't worry. You'll screw up later.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And Mayor Adams' former head of fundraising, Brianna Suggs. They're all part of at least three separate, but related, federal inquiries. Did he say butt related? sucks. They're all part of at least three separate but related federal inquiries. Did he say butt related? And mayor Adams, former head of fundraising Brianna sucks. First of all, Brianna sucks. What is this a clown show? What are they doing here? And mayor Adams, former head of fundraising, Brianna Suggs. They're all part of at least three separate, but related, federal inquiries.
Starting point is 00:08:51 But related. I mean, it's... The first started back in November with Suggs when the Fed searched the mayor's former... I think it's S-U-Double-G-S. Yes, Suggs. But it sounds funny. ...former chief of fundraising's home. The FBI and U.S. attorney aren't releasing any information about the investigations, but
Starting point is 00:09:09 sources say they're looking into whether improper campaign donations were made to the mayor's 2021 campaign. So really, that's what this is about? I think they're stealing money. I think it's not about child SUDS. Hello, it's New York. Of course they're stealing money. They're pressuring people. Well, let's back up a little bit. When the mayor decided to go after the Biden administration for
Starting point is 00:09:36 sending all these migrants, that's when this all began. That's when this started. That's when this, and they said, oh yeah, hold my beer. Mayor, hold my beer. Watch what we do now. We're going to, it's the season of review. You're not on board? Let me show you something. It's the season of review. Let me show you a little trick.
Starting point is 00:09:51 There's a quarter behind your ear. Yeah, watch this. And whether he received illegal donations from citizens or government officials in other countries, the mayor has maintained his innocence. Well, that's kind of interesting because we know that that was in 2012, I think. That was Obama's trick, his credit cards from foreign countries. Yeah. That's just what Harris is using.
Starting point is 00:10:16 That's why she's got twice as much money as Trump. So maybe they have to pin all this on him. I don't know. He's going down for something. The mayor has maintained his innocence and has encouraged everyone to cooperate in the investigation. The other accusations involve using personal relationships to get work with the city and other lucrative contracts.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Jeans Caban, twin brother of former police commissioner Edward Caban, is under investigation for possibly using his relationship in order to get work providing security to nightclubs. Commissioner Kaban resigned, calling the investigations a distraction. They both denied doing anything wrong. A third probe involves the three Banks brothers. The Banks brothers. Terrence Banks.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I mean, this sounds like gangsters. The Banks brothers. A third probe for the Banks brothers. The third probe involves the three Banks brothers. Terrence Banks, the youngest brother of David and Philip, launched a consulting firm to connect businesses to government officials. Oh yeah. Public Record Show. What a great gig that is. A consulting firm to connect... What?
Starting point is 00:11:18 Public Record Show. Some of those companies received millions of dollars. Brother of David and Philip launched a consulting firm to connect businesses to government officials. That's a great business. Yeah, that's what Hunter Biden did. Yes. Public records show some of those companies received millions of dollars in city contracts, even a personal meeting with his brother,
Starting point is 00:11:38 the school's chancellor. Plus, Philip Banks, deputy mayor for public safety, used to own a security company, a company which, after it was sold, was awarded a multimillion dollar housing contract. Nice. Phillips's brother's domestic partner, the deputy mayor Sheena Wright.
Starting point is 00:11:54 So his domestic partner was the deputy mayor? Sat on the board that approved the contract. Nice. Both David and Terrence have said they're not targets of the investigation. An attorney for Philip Banks has said his client has zero criminal liability. Meanwhile, other leaders who do not appear to be a part of the investigations have since announced their resignations.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Those include the health commissioner and the top legal advisor to Mayor Adams, City Hall chief counsel Lisa Zornberg, who announced abruptly saying she can no longer effectively serve in her position. It's like the black sopranos. This is amazing. So back to the thesis that this is all stemming from his rebuke of the Biden administration sending migrants to New York City to like 10x more than Abbott did. Yeah. If you listen to his plea, the one that he did at his press
Starting point is 00:12:46 conference where he says, he says they're after me because I've been standing up for the people of New York, of New York City, which is exactly what he did when he rebuked the Biden administration for sending all these, you know, tens of thousands of migrants into New York City and said, here, you pick up the tab. So the elections are not that far away. He could ride it out or, and even having AOC call for him to resign. But if he resigns, I think it's, which by the way, Kathy Hockel, the governor, she can remove him.
Starting point is 00:13:24 We'll see if that happens. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. She has the ability to remove the mayor from office, but the governor's power to replace new city's mayor has never been used. Okay. It's never been used before, but she does have the option. And the person, if he resigns, then the public advocate becomes temporary mayor.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Who is this? Some person named Williams. Don't know who it is. But I mean, you know, New York has always been corrupt, but how disappointing, but this former cop, I had kind of high hopes for him in the beginning. Yeah, until we started hearing the mockery of his silly voice. Yeah, that was unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Didn't really have, you need a voice in politics. He had a more serious sound to himself. It'd be better. Yeah. Well, might as well get these two ditty clips out of the way while we're at it because it just so much seems related to ditty parties and to the wickedness of Hollywood and politics. It's all intertwined.
Starting point is 00:14:44 So now you got me watching TMZ again. of Hollywood and politics. It's all intertwined. So now you got me watching TMZ again. Back in 2002, this video is now resurfaced of him talking to Conan O'Brien, and they start talking about how to make your party the best party possible. And Diddy starts running down everything you need for the perfect party.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Women, beautiful women. You need some water. We need alcohol. You need some water. We need alcohol. You need a lot of heat. Goes up a nice little sweat. That just sounds disgusting. Not compared to this next part. We need locks on the doors.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this is sounding kind of dangerous now. 2002 Conan, you have no idea. Ooh. What? It's disturbing. He didn't crack a smile, he did nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:27 And that's not the only old Diddy clip that's resurfaced. Years ago, Ellen asked him about his parties. It'll go from like 9.30 to like maybe 3 o'clock, to 3 o'clock. And then you know we have the top two floors of the hotel. And then it will carry on there. Yeah, yeah. Didn't it? I mean the after party. Now I know about them. You can just tell.
Starting point is 00:15:46 The word was out back then. There are a lot of people in Hollywood who are really nervous because all these things way back in the day, it turns out he videotaped. And there are a lot of people wondering, am I on that tape? Yeah. There's bodyguards coming out talking about stuff. They've seen there's just so much. It's a rich environment If you're TMZ Yeah, TMZ. I think so front for something. Yeah. Oh, yeah ever since I ever since we listened to TMZ promote the idea that Beyonce was gonna be at the Democratic National Convention Yeah, right good authority. Yes, That was obviously bull crap and they knew it.
Starting point is 00:16:28 So TMZ is doing everything on TMZ is politically motivated in some way, shape or form. Well we still have just so much unresolved noise about, I mean, even Pizzagate is being brought up again. Why not? I'm sorry? Why not? Yeah, well, exactly. And then, you know, all of a sudden we have this Ryan Wesley Ruth guy, who's pointing his gun through the bushes and then they pick up his son. The son of the suspect in the second assassination attempt of Donald Trump now facing serious
Starting point is 00:17:09 charges of his own. Orrin Routh is under arrest on child pornography charges. FBI agents took him into custody this week after searching his home in Greensboro, North Carolina. Authorities say they found hundreds of files of child sexual abuse images. According to the FBI, the arrest has nothing to do with Ryan Routh's alleged assassination plot at a golf course in Florida earlier this month. You see the picture of that guy?
Starting point is 00:17:34 No, I missed this. Oh, he looks like- Is he a creep? Yeah, he looks like a hysterical, I hate to say it, Democrat. Just really looks like it. Well, he's probably an hysterical Democrat, which is, I don't know why you hate to say it. Well, because I mean, because not all Democrats... Because you sound bigoted. Yeah, well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:17:56 What's his name? What's his name? I want to look at this picture. His name is... What's his name? I don't know. Well it's in here. It's in there. The son of the suspect in the second assassination attempt of Donald Trump now facing serious charges of his own, Orin Ralph. Orin. Orin.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I think it's O-R-A-N for some reason. Orin. Yeah. Is it R-O-U-T-H? Is that the correct name? Yes, R-O-U-T-H. Yes, R-O-U-T-H. The whole thing. The whole thing.
Starting point is 00:18:30 You see a picture of him? I'm looking. Oh, there he is. Oh my God. I like the picture of the cocked head. That is his mug shot. I think the reason why I think he looks like a hysterical Democrat is because he looks a lot like that Austin comedian who plays a hysterical Democrat with a long hair kind of reddish hair. What's his name?
Starting point is 00:18:54 I don't know. Guy's pretty funny. He's been around for years. Can't remember his name. No, maybe the troll room can help. Yeah. That's what they're there for. Yeah. Well, they're not on the ball today. Yeah, maybe the troll room can help. Yeah. That's what they're there for. Yeah, well they're not on the ball today.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah, they're not. No, they're just not on the ball. No not, no, no. Anyway, it just feels like everything is somehow related. It's the great reveal. It's the season of reveal, not the great reveal. It's the season of reveal! Yeah. great reveal. It's the season of reveal. Yeah. I got a clip to pick out a related clip. Okay. Which will lead me into a presentation.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Ah, all right. Thanks for queuing me up. This is Trudeau on the Kobera show. This is great. Great meeting you. It must be nice being in front of a dumb American audience who applaud you because they have no idea how hate and incompetent you actually are. So welcome to America. Glad to be here. Glad to be here. So do all Canadians hate you? Yes, they do. I'm not sure you know. It might be part of why I'm here. Is that because you literally shut down people's bank accounts in 2022 like a dictator might? Well, as many know, my real father is Fidel Castro, one of the greatest authoritarians of the... Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:08 And hopefully, you know that I realize this is AI, clearly. Well, I would hope so. Yeah. And by the way, JP Sears is the comedian. 20th century. I don't think so. Oh, okay. No, it's true.
Starting point is 00:20:21 You see, my father was the prime minister during the 1970s and my mom wasn't a huge fan of his, similar to how all Canadians hate me. So she was cheating on him quite a bit. She would hang out at Studio 54 here in New York City. She banged Mick Jagger famously. And shortly before I was born, she snuck down to Havana to get smashed by my biological father Fidel. This podcast is now illegal in the state of California.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And then I was born nine months later. Just look at a side-by-side photo of me and Fidel Castro. The resemblance is uncanny. That's where I think I get my authoritarian nature from. That actually makes a lot of sense. Comedian Shane Gillis just performed in Toronto last week and while doing an impersonation of Trump, he called you the F slur that is generally reserved for homosexuals but truly is more appropriate for someone like you and received a lengthy applause break.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I mean, people in Canada really hate me. I'd be surprised if my approval rating was over 20% at this point. So what's next for you? There's an election in Canada coming up next year, right? They're trying to call one sooner as again, people really hate me from coast to coast. My plan is to delay until next year and then get absolutely smoked in the election and then focus on my true passion of doing various types of brown and blackface. I really want to explore the medium.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Dictator Justin Trudeau, everyone, we'll be right back after the break with the guy that sold Diddy all his baby oil. Okay, all right, what was the point? Well, the point is that- The AI was okay, it wasn't the best, it was okay. Trudeau I think is good, I don't think the Colbert voices is good.
Starting point is 00:22:05 But the voice that's out there that I think Trudeau is good. I don't think the Colbert voice is good. But the voice that's out there that I think is the one we're going to hear a lot of because of Newsome is the AI Newsome voice. And every show I'm trying to keep bringing these up because I know they're illegal. Yes. And in your state, in your state only, they're, they're okay in Texas. Well, we're going to play this for Texas audience. If you're in California, please do not listen. Do not listen. No, you're not allowed to listen in California. No.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Okay. So what are we playing here? AI Newsome. Okay. not gay. A lot of people are criticizing me for banning AI generated political videos. So let me explain. The problem is that Democrats like me, we're not the brightest bulbs in the tanning bed. We can't always distinguish between reality and fiction. When Elon Musk posted Mr. Reagan's brilliant Kamala Harris parody video, I thought that was real. And so I realized without laws governing what we are allowed to see and hear, how will we ever know what's really true? If I don't ban Mr. Reagan's AI parody videos, how would we ever know that Trump will be a dictator
Starting point is 00:23:08 on day one, or that if he doesn't win, he's promised a bloodbath? How would we know that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation? Also, I'm definitely not gay. Also, how would we know that inflation is transitory and that the border is secure? How would we know that COVID came from bat soup
Starting point is 00:23:22 and Trump told everyone to inject bleach? How would we know that boys can be girls and girls can be boys and there's no such thing as gender? How would we know that COVID came from bat soup and Trump told everyone to inject bleach? How would we know that boys can be girls and girls can be boys and there's no such thing as gender? How would we know that Trump is controlled by Vladimir Putin? Also, I'm super not gay. Also, how would we know that Trump totally assaulted Eugene Caroll in a Berggriff Goodman dressing room? How would we know the 2020 election was totally legitimate with zero fraud?
Starting point is 00:23:40 How would we know that January 6th was an armed insurrection where many police officers lost their lives? How would we know that the COVID vaccines had zero side effects and that masks were 100% effective? How would we know Kamala brilliantly invented her very own original idea, no tax on tips, or that I'm totally not gay? How would we know that Trump wrote Project 2025 or that Trump staged both of his assassination attempts?
Starting point is 00:24:06 And how would we know that Trump is literally Hitler? Reincarnation is definitely a thing. Hitler died in 1945. Trump was born in 1946. Coincidence? I think not. How would we know that all of that is true if we don't ban Mr. Reagan's AI parody videos? How would we know that we should all drink the Kool-Aid?
Starting point is 00:24:22 We won't know because Mr. Reagan's AI parody videos are a threat to our democracy. They spread dangerous disinformation, unlike all of the super true stuff that we Democrats tell you. And also, most importantly, I'm definitely not gay. Okay, I'm trying to figure out where your presentation is going. Well, where it's going is what you did last show, which is leading me to the notebook LM. Oh God. Oh man. All four minutes and 55 seconds of it. No, you're just going to play the beginning. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:55 That's not what you're playing. Okay. Here's what I fed it. And I want you to set a timer. I'm going to read what I fed it before we play it. You get, get a timer going and I'm going to read what I fed it before we play it. You get a timer going and I'm going to read this and you should run around. You mean like a stopwatch timer? Yeah. Okay. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:25:14 We'll be at the stopwatch. And go. A discussion of political ideology by Seymour Butts, professor of ideology, University of California. In the up and coming election, we have two diverse candidates, Donald Trump, the notorious Republican and Kamala Harris, the notorious Democrat. Trump lies a lot about everything. Harris lies a lot about everything.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Both candidates want your vote. End of in-depth analysis. Twenty-one seconds. Twenty-one seconds is what I got. Okay. So I gave it this 21 second read. You read this or you gave it the written words? The text, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And that was the exact text you gave it? Exact text. Okay. Now, that text, which I read in 21 seconds, now what is the total length of the clip it gave me back when I asked for it? Four minutes and 55 seconds. Now, how does that work, you think? Well, it's a deep dive.
Starting point is 00:26:11 So this is supposed to be a note-taking piece of software. So it's supposed to summarize what I just said. And we just read it's 21 seconds worth of not pretty much Nonsense. Yes. It's just neutral. Yeah Trump and and have Harris were presented exactly the same way by Seymour, but Okay, so I put it into and by the way, I'm gonna put this together as a Substack column but probably come out Monday. I can't wait to put that in a notebook LM and make a podcast out of it. It'll probably be for me. This ridiculous nonsense. For one thing, they stretch the little that I said here, very little, and then they start adding their own material. You can cut this off around
Starting point is 00:27:01 the two minute mark when they start start adding they start just making stuff up Welcome back to the deep. Oh, sorry. Wait, wait. I was that my timing was perfect this this yeah this is This is a disgusting display of the of the slanted nature of Google at this point in history What? Google's yes. Yes. Yes, it's a fact. There's gambling going on over there. Oh no. Welcome back to the Deep Dive. Ready to dive into something timely? We're tackling this upcoming election and wow, the sources you sent in, they really paint a picture, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:37 especially when it comes to, well, honesty in politics. That's definitely a hot topic. Yeah, no kidding. Hot topic, hot topic. So Trump versus Harris, round two, right? We've got Professor Seymour Butts analysis and he doesn't hold back. That's putting it mildly. Right. And I have to say, I kind of love that about him, you know, the- His directness. Exactly. Like right off the bat, he calls both Trump and Harris notorious.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Not exactly glowing praise, right? No, not at all. And I think that's intentional. He's framing the entire conversation right from the beginning. He's telling us we're dealing with two figures who, shall we say, have a reputation. And then he just comes right out and says that they both lie?
Starting point is 00:28:15 Like, a lot? He does. And it's almost jarring, isn't it? Jarring. In a world of political spin, where everyone's trying to be so careful with their words, butts just cuts through the BS. Which honestly is kind of refreshing. You know, like we all know what happens.
Starting point is 00:28:30 This whole truth stretching thing in politics, but to see someone actually call it out. It's almost cathartic. Like he's giving us permission to be skeptical, to question what we're being told. Exactly. But here's the thing. Skepticism is one thing, but it can't just lead to apathy, right? Like, yeah, politicians lie, whatever, I'm not voting. That doesn't help anything. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And Butz addresses that head on. He argues that this skepticism, this awareness of how often politicians bend the truth, it should actually make us more engaged, not less. So it's like he's saying, don't be a cynic, be a critical thinker. Exactly. Because when we're aware of the potential for manipulation, we're less likely to fall for it No, we start to look deeper do our own research and demand better from our leaders never mentioned so important, especially given all the Strategies, let's call them Oh, absolutely. You said over that study on common campaign tactics. What? What? Cherry picking data. It's fascinating. What? Did they
Starting point is 00:29:30 actually say butts stretched it? Did they say that? Yeah they did. Butts. Yeah. Yeah so this is what I said. The fact that I got Seymour butts in there. Yeah that's good. That's good. That was good. I have to pat myself on the back for that. But they go on and on and on and they bring up the dog whistle comes up next. Never mentioned, none of this was ever mentioned. They are making it up as they go along. And this is supposed to be a summary. If you look at Notebook LM, it's supposed to be a notebook. You're supposed to be able to, you know, it's supposed to help you with organizing your notes. This is not nothing. I here's the notes I gave you 21 seconds.
Starting point is 00:30:12 And they come up with all this stuff about dog whistles and what Harris's background is like the whole thing. It is complete, a complete fabrication. These are not my notes. We will have the full five minutes in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.net. Well, yes, the AI is obviously pre-prompted just when I tried to get some answers out of it about model collapse and entropy. And it said, well, according to some other sources I pulled in that you didn't supply me. No, that's not what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to only use those sources that I gave you.
Starting point is 00:30:52 But I have new thoughts on AI. I'm actually quite happy you did this. I want everyone to be doing as much AI as possible. I want to flood the internet. Especially- Well, artists are already doing it. Yes, especially social networks, Reddit, as much AI-generated text, images, video.
Starting point is 00:31:14 We need to put as much out there, while the companies are trying to catch up. Yeah, you're basically advocating for a poison pill. Yes. Well, it's called a slop. It's called AI slop. I want to flood the models. I want to collapse the models. And the great result of this will be these AI companies going broke, trying to sustain their models because they need more power, more energy, more CPUs. By the way, it's not coincidental that the first real so-called AI things that we see are images and videos because it comes from a chip developed by a company that
Starting point is 00:32:07 Because it comes from a chip developed by a company that developed graphic processors for video and images for video games. So more slop, more of the time. I heard on CNBC, I couldn't catch it for a clip, Anthropic, one of the AI companies, guess what their cost is per API call to one of their large language models. I have no idea. 35 cents. 35 cents for each API call you're making. They are running so fast trying to come up with the golden goose or whatever it is to
Starting point is 00:32:41 have the ultimate, you know, the authoritative AI. Meanwhile, I have to give Zuckerberg some props. He's fighting them in a different way. The meta large language model, which is llama, la la la llama, la la la llama. They just put it out open source. Like, oh, you guys, you go pay all that money and then we're just going to give this to everybody to play around with at home. So they don't, you know, because I have L-L-L-Lama, and you know, it does some things, you know, I can put in,
Starting point is 00:33:14 give me an HTML page with this code embedded in it. It does that. It's okay, you know, but 35 cents an API call is not okay. One of our producers took a page out of your notebook LM and he uploaded the manual to his Sony XAV 1500, which is a head unit for your automobile and they made a podcast out of it. Okay, so you're about to install a new car stereo
Starting point is 00:33:47 I had the tools ready got the excitement building but Before you toss those instruction manuals aside. Yeah, hold on. Hold on. Don't do that We're actually diving into that often ignored treasure trove of knowledge today with the Sony XAV 1500 E manual. Yeah, because honestly those manuals are way more interesting than people give them credit for. Oh, yeah. It's not just about connecting wires. It's about unlocking a whole world of features and understanding the tech that's shaping
Starting point is 00:34:16 the modern driving experience. It's shaping the modern driving experience. It's true. And this Sony manual, well, let me tell you, it doesn't disappoint. I mean, where else are you going to find a warning about not eating batteries right off You know they have you can stop it for a second. They have these stock phrases It does I see more butts according to him doesn't disappoint he's stretching the bus It's disappoint is one of their main little catchphrases. Yes. Yes
Starting point is 00:34:40 I just love how they're making the manual reading entertaining. Seriously, page one, safety precautions and boom, there it is, do not ingest the battery. She also says boom a lot. But did you hear what she said? Listen to this. Seriously, page one, safety precautions and boom, there it is, do not ingest the battery. Okay then, I mean, I get it, safety first and all, but still, it's not every day you see that. No, it's not just any battery.
Starting point is 00:35:07 No, it's not every day you see, don't ingest the battery. Oh man, it's so cool. I love it. I love it. And of course, the reason why, I mean, please, more AI art on the art generator, please. You can't ask for that because it's all AI art. You know, Grok, which is a part of X, it's feeding on itself. So upload all your AI stuff to X, make sure that Grok is the first one to collapse. By the way, speaking of X, although the news was only out
Starting point is 00:35:49 for about two hours, did you see that Elon capitulated to Brazil? Yeah, I'm sure he would. Yeah, but that story didn't really get any traction. Who cares? People who thought Elon was the protector of free speech care. I didn't notice this. I mean, I knew about the capitulation because I got tons of email about it. Yeah, but it got demoted everywhere, certainly on X.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Oh yeah, because he's not Mr. Free Speech. He's like, well, you know, maybe I should pay the million dollars And maybe I should you know do exactly what they asked me to do. He's a businessman Exactly. He's not the hero everybody thinks nor is Pavel Durov one month after being arrested by French authorities Telegram founder Pavel Durov agrees to cooperate and hand over information of people who use the platform for criminal purposes. Durov was charged with failing to curb extremist and terrorist contact on Telegram. To further deter criminals from abusing Telegram search, we have updated our Terms of Service
Starting point is 00:36:59 and Privacy Policy, ensuring they are consistent across the world. We've made it clear that the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests. An avowed free speech advocate, Durov, initially criticized his arrest. He has long resisted attempts to take down content on Telegram and has previously seen it banned in Iran and in his native Russia, where it was later unbanned rather than hand over users details. Yeah, IP addresses, anything you want. Yeah, I'll give it to you.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Bye. Bye. Bye. They all buckle, all the free speech guys. Well, and who, you buckle under the fascist state. Well, yeah. But platforms can't be for free speech. It's non-existent.
Starting point is 00:37:51 No, you can just skirt it. And that's why the AI models are so good. What do you mean? Well, if you listen to the Trudeau thing where he reveals that he is the son of Fidel Castro and on and on. Yeah. What more can you ask for? Illegal content.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I was looking at the California bill. And so this California bill only adheres to covered models, which is not a super model. It's just the covered model. And so anything before January 2027, I don't know why it's 2027, a covered model means an artificial intelligence model trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 10 to the 26 integer or floating point operations,
Starting point is 00:38:40 the cost of which exceeds $100 million when calculated using the average market prices of cloud compute at the start of which exceeds $100 million when calculated using the average market prices of cloud compute at the start of training as reasonably assessed by the developer. What? What? I have no idea what that means. What difference does it make? Why is that an element of a law? Well, that's my question.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Advanced persistent threat, this is what it's all about, means an adversary with sophisticated levels of expertise and significant resources that allow it through the use of multiple different attack vectors, including but not limited to cyber physical deception, different attack vectors, including but not limited to cyberphysical deception, to generate opportunities to achieve its objectives that are typically to establish and extend its presence within the information technology infrastructure of organizations for purposes of exfiltrating information or to undermine or impede critical aspects of a mission, program, or organization, or place itself in a position to do so in the future. What? What is this bill? What is that? It's indecipherable. It's obviously some bill to harass some one person.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah, probably Facebook, if anybody. Meanwhile, NPR reports the food bloggers are very unhappy with AI because it's generating recipes that can be deadly. Well, that makes sense. I haven't heard this. This is a new aspect to it. AI recipes can be dangerous too. Last year, Forbes reported that one AI recipe generator produced a recipe for quote
Starting point is 00:40:25 aromatic water mix When a Twitter user prompted it to make a recipe with water bleach and ammonia the recipe actually produced deadly chlorine gas Yeah, it would yeah More of it, please More see more butts more see more butts AI. I'm all for it. The faster this collapse the better. More AI. You know this is what's so funny about that and it's somewhat ironic is you can call for the collapse all you want it's going to collapse with or without the poison pill. Oh no I know but then we can take credit
Starting point is 00:41:01 we say we did that. We did that. Go podcasting. For marketing purposes, you nailed it. Go podcasting. Although... That's a good point. Okay. What am I thinking? What's wrong with you? Come on. People say, no agenda podcast. They called for it. And then all their producers went out and created AI slop and it's collapsed the models. Thank you, by the way, to the 10,000 physicists who emailed us about entropy with lots of interesting reading.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Oh, I don't even want to consider that. You know, you don't quite have it right. Here's a lecture. Here's a five hour lecture on YouTube you can watch and you'll understand entropy perfectly. I love you all. I love you all. I love you all. You got the point.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I think they got the point. Although this is just one last clip here. This is the CEO of Bharti Airtel, which is an Indian cell phone company. And he has a unique use for AI. Mr. Whittle, thank you so much for joining us on CNBC TV 18. The first question I wanted to ask is, we already have applications such as Truecaller,
Starting point is 00:42:09 the TRAI is working towards caller name display. How is this AI part solution different? So the advantage that this solution has is that firstly, there's a menace, so everybody, more people working on it, the better it is. This is for you, John, this is a menace. This is a menace that you are having problem with. For the industry, because it's a problem for the customers.
Starting point is 00:42:29 I think what our solution does is that it doesn't require an application. The application you refer to requires an application. So ours doesn't require an application. Secondly, like I mentioned on CNAP, you will know a user calling, XYZ calling, but you don't know whether he's a spamster or not, and you could still be frauded. So what our solution does is actually uses over 250
Starting point is 00:42:51 parameters on a real time basis across every single call and every message on our network, which is roughly one and a half billion SMSes, two and a half billion calls, and alerts the customer if it's a spam, suspected spam. We have seen tremendous power in this in the last six months. It's an AI model which is constantly learning. Oh, good. 97% right identification of spam calls,
Starting point is 00:43:13 99.5% right identification of spam messages. So we're very excited that this will really put power back in the hands of the user to know that they have been protected. You'll have no power. This is fantastic. No power. It's learning. It's a learning model.
Starting point is 00:43:29 So you just put all kinds of slop in there and the AI will just start. It can go nowhere. This is so good. They better start bringing in quantum computing quick or they're going to lose out. There's the rub. What? That's a bull crap, there's the rub. What? That's a bull crap item too.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Most tech, including the internet is bull crap. We have not benefited from any of it. I mean, we have, because we have a podcast we wouldn't be able to do. Actually, we could have a broadcast media, but we would never have even met. No, you're right. Oh, how life, how to... Yeah, you and I would not have, we met in 92, 93 at the CNET. That's right.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I was impressed by you. Sure you were. Yes, I was. I was, I was impressed by you. I was like, wow, that guy knows what he's doing. He's good. All right, you wouldn't, well, let me just fawn over you for a second.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I'd literally just said the other day on the new media show, one of the secrets to our success is we're not actually friends and maybe don't even like each other that much. They thought that they thought that was hilarious. Yeah, it's possible. Yeah. So but let me just tell that. Let me set the stage.
Starting point is 00:44:36 It was the pilot for CNET, which was supposed to be CNET Central. CNET Central. But it was supposed to be a whole 24 hour day cable station. What was the guy's name? The guy, the Fox guy who he's dead now, I think. Was Halsey Minor? No, Kevin Wendell. Kevin Wendell. He's still around Kevin Wendell? I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So he, he strung together the original Fox local television station network. So he
Starting point is 00:45:02 was the TV guy at Halsey Minor. He was also involved with with Prince of Bel Air. Yes. And then you had Halsey Miner who, didn't he have family money that he squandered on this? No, he used a Shelby Bonnie's money. A Shelby Bonnie's money. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:18 He squandered that instead. And so they paid us all to come out to San Francisco. I don't remember the studio, but I remember there was a train out front. There was a train car. Yes, there was a caboose. It was a caboose. Yeah, it was a caboose out front.
Starting point is 00:45:30 And that's where they had the food. And they had it catered. It was dynamite for the first six to nine months. That caboose was filled. But it's like everything else, I've noticed this, wherever you work, these startups, oh yeah, free food, it's like everything else I've noticed is wherever you work, the startups, oh yeah, free food, it's dynamite. And then nine months later, a bookkeeper comes in and says, no, no, no, no more free food.
Starting point is 00:45:54 No makeup. No, you don't need mics. They cut the makeup artists, which is a huge blunder. Just yell loudly. We'll use a shotgun mic. It'll be fine. So there's John doing a like a McLaughlin group and I think it was John Perry Barlow might have been on that. I don't remember. And I just remember how good you were and I was like wow that's
Starting point is 00:46:17 good. I didn't get to be on that show no I had to interview Dr. Mae Jemison. I remember her the first black woman who was on the space shuttle. Yeah, vaguely, vaguely. The thing that was noticeable about you was when you were doing this audition, you were like so tall. Because everybody else,
Starting point is 00:46:34 and most people in broadcasting are only five, eight, maybe. With big heads, with big heads. And you had a big head and you were tall and you kind of stood out. And they didn't have any apple crates or anything. They should have definitely gave them to the other people. No, but everything was wrong about that. And then when the offer came in, it was like,
Starting point is 00:46:50 well, I'm going to give you 8 million warrants or options. I'm like, huh? I'm not leaving MTV for that. Of course, I should have taken the deal because I wouldn't be doing this podcast. $10 million. $20 million. Yeah. Oh, well. $20 million. Yeah. Oh well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:47:07 And that's funny. I don't know how he got to that. I brought it up because you were talking about, I was talking about the internet sucking. Oh yeah. And the reason we ever got together is because of the internet. Yeah, that's right. That's right. And it's been a marriage made in heaven ever since.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Well, podcast made in heaven. Well, podcast is truly one of the last things standing. That's the only thing that'll be worthwhile. You know, you know that it's a real deal. It's coming from an RSS feed, not from a platform. You know it'll be there. Yes, and you're going to make sure that that's exactly what happens. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:48 You're the only one. You are definitely at this point, it was always debatable, not to me, but it was debatable to a lot of people. Well, Dave Weiner. I love how you say that. Dave Weiner. Dave Weiner who's, you know, just never, I always thought he was an ancillary to the idea. And then of course the person who coined the phrase,
Starting point is 00:48:11 you didn't coin it, which is the only black mark. Oh, this is such a black mark. That is, it didn't coin it. Oh well. But you invented it and then you've, and you're the only one who's picked up the flag to take it to Podcasting 2.0, which is a big deal. And I've been running with it. It's not fully realized yet.
Starting point is 00:48:33 No, no, no. It'll take another couple of years. It's okay. These things take time. But people are going to start to figure it out when all the AI slop ruins everything. Like this Twitter is no good. X is no good. Facebook is no good. It's just slop. Yes, you'll come back to podcasts and you won't be getting your podcasts on YouTube. So the church lady text group exploded the other day. And even our constitutional lawyer, Rob, sent me a note about it.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Oh no! Oh no! What's going to happen? George Soros is buying all the radio stations! Oh, my meme is the same way. Okay, well let me calm everybody down, including Glenn Beck. George Soros just bought 200 radio stations in 40 different markets. Now, the vote came down in the FCC. It was partisan, three Democrats voting for it, two Republicans voting against it. But here's the real problem. According to existing FCC rules, foreign company ownership of US radio stations is not supposed
Starting point is 00:49:43 to exceed 25 percent. But Soros took foreign investment money to make his bid. And then he asked the FCC to make an exception to the usual review process. So the FCC fast-tracked this. Why? Why would they do that? Well, let me answer this. Everyone just reads headlines, including Glenn Beck, is disappointing. And he's a radio guy. He should know. So first of all, George Soros is a zombie. It's no longer George Soros. This is an arachnism. What is it called? Anachronism.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Thank you. I like arachnism. Arachnophobia. Soros is dead. He's not running anything. Alex is now kind of in charge, but he's off. He's part of the Clinton. Is it Clintonista now he's with, what's her face? Um,
Starting point is 00:50:47 with the Wiener's ex, uh, uh, ex wife. Yeah. So Uma Abedin. Uma. Yeah. So that guy's mired in all kinds of other stuff. This is the, this is the fund and here's what really happened. It's not about 200 radio stations. It's about the company Odyssey. Odyssey. It's more than 200. It's more about 200 radio stations. It's about the company Odyssey. Odyssey- It's more than 200. It's more like 239.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Yeah, Odyssey has, I thought it was almost 250 radio stations. They have a podcast network. Hello. The podcast network's only about five to 10 podcasts. And then they take credit for every other podcast in the world on their website, including Joe Rogan. Of course they do. They've been in chapter 11. They're bankrupt. And what the Soros Fund management did is they bought up $400 million of Odyssey's debt. They bought up the debt.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Let's be a little more specific. They bought the best debt. What do you mean by that? There's different kinds of debt. Oh, explain. And the debt that they bought is the debt that has to be serviced first. Yeah, the first money in, yes. So they're the ones that get all the... I'll just throw in a couple of thoughts. This is a Soros type deal.
Starting point is 00:52:06 This is an investment. Yes, a good one. Designed, a good one because she got one, something like 1.9 I think, 1.9 billion dollars in debt. Yeah, for 400 million. They get the whole thing for 400 million. Yeah. And it's the best debt.
Starting point is 00:52:21 The shareholders get nothing. Nothing. Everybody gets wiped out except the Soros with this $400 million investment. And the first thing, well, you can tell, I don't know what your interpretation is of this. I mean, my interpretation is that this was an incredibly smart move to buy up a bunch of crappy stations, most of music stations, by the way, it's not that it's just gonna be political. No.
Starting point is 00:52:48 And which is the real giveaway. It's like eight out of 10 stations are- Don't forget the podcast network. And the stupid podcast network, which is useless. They're gonna piece it off and make a billion dollars in selling off bits and pieces. They're gonna sell off the stations, it's what you do. That's what I said. They're gonna sell off the stations off bits and pieces. They're going to sell off the stations. It's what you do. That's what I said. They're going to sell off the stations and bits and pieces,
Starting point is 00:53:09 get about a billion dollars back. This is one of those examples where the parts are worth more than the whole. Yes, that's exactly what a fund like this does. If the whole only costs 400 million. Yeah, it's a big hole and you're not in it. Wait, that's a different one. And that's all it is. And the fact that people brought this up and Mimi was one of them. Oh no. Like what? Who? What? I heard this for the past four days. Oh, George Soros. He was going to take all the conservative shows off the air. No, he's not. No, he's not. And the reason why the FCC fast-tracked it is because this is about to go under. Yes, they had to. Money needed to come in.
Starting point is 00:53:55 They were between a rock and a hard place. You either fast-track this or these guys are out of business and the whole country can go to pot. You have no choice but to fast track it. And then so the Democrats vote yes, and the Republicans being the jerk offs that they are, they don't want to lie. We don't want to be associated with this. We'll vote no. And we don't have to worry about the consequences
Starting point is 00:54:16 because we know it's going to pass. It's just, it was unbelievable to me how, and it's every story had the information in it, but it was all position. No, it was obvious what was going on. Yeah, but it was all position. Oh, Soros is going to buy all the, by the way, most of these stations, the average listenership is 74 years and older.
Starting point is 00:54:37 A lot of old guys. A lot of AM stations in this mess. Yeah. And at the same time, you know, there was the keep AM radio bill. Did you see that? Yeah. And because guess what? EV electric vehicles aren't great with AM radio.
Starting point is 00:54:54 It's like holding up a hairdryer, a hairdryer next to your transistor radio. They go, oh, we have to keep AM radio alive because, you know, it's... Yeah, they got filters, they can fix it. Because, you know, who's still on AM radio? All the talkers, all the right-wing talkers, that's why they had to pass that bill. All the right-wing talkers are on AM radio. Yeah, but you know what? All the kids these days, they don't listen to radio.
Starting point is 00:55:22 It's, I mean, okay, you can still make a lot of money from radio, just like from cable. It'll go for a few more years. It's worth it. Probably more than that. It's still a functioning media. But within 10 years, your listeners are dead, just like George Soros. It's George Soros. He's going to take all the programming off. I was wondering if you were going to do this story because… I'm glad you caught it too.
Starting point is 00:55:50 It was insane. Well, I caught it right away and I expected Horowitz to bring it up on DH on Plug, but he never did and I didn't want to introduce it. And I said, well, this whole thing can pass. And then you brought it up. So I had my opinion fully formed, ready to go because I had to deal with Mimi and to her freak out Is she on the church ladies text group? I don't know why she got so worked up about this It's so obvious just a just a smart
Starting point is 00:56:17 Investment that had to be done by somebody and nobody else, you know came up with this and and this is a classic Soros Nobody else came up with this. This is a classic Soros scam. This is what he does when he does currency buys and sells. The guy's a genius investor. But it's not him. It's the Soros Fund management. Yeah, but it's still a mentality. It's his mentality.
Starting point is 00:56:39 But the guy is dead. He's dead. It's like Warren Buffett. His mentality permeates. So I just want everybody to calm down. Even the Republican FCC commissioner was all, and he knows what this deal is about. He was gaslighting. He was showboating. Yeah let me see I think I have I think I have a clip of him. It wasn't gaslighting. It was gaslighting. Here this is this is the guy. You've indicated there's a car is his name Commissioner Carr. Transaction where a Soros back group would take ownership of over 200 radio stations across 40 different Here he is, take ownership of. No.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Mark, it's after the FC originally indicating that that transaction could be reviewed and approved at the Bureau level without a commission vote. It's now become clear that that is a decision before the full commission and it's one that I would assume now or in the near future the commission would approve. I think what's interesting about it is that the FCC here is not following its normal process for reviewing a transaction. We have established over a number of years one way in which you can get approval from the FCC when you have in excess of 25% foreign ownership, which this transaction does. And it seems to me that the FCC is poised to create for the first time an entirely new shortcut. Ever! Yeah, thank you. As you pointed out here in previously, these proceedings for transfer
Starting point is 00:58:11 of ownership have been expedited. What exactly makes this case so deserving of an expedited proceeding so far? The content! There is nothing about this transaction that is out of the ordinary. It's the type of thing that we see all the time and the FC has a process for this. The full commission itself has never signed off on a shortcut. Oh, shortcut. Soros is getting favor from the Democrats. No. Oh, this is what I deal with and I'm glad you have to deal with it too. That makes me that makes me happy. Everybody has to deal with it too. That makes me happy.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Everybody has to deal with it. That's what this show is for. Miners will do the next- Because there are sensible people out there that can see through it. The next one was also a little minor thing. I'm like, well, who cares about this? And the term is Founders Mode.
Starting point is 00:59:06 All the drama around 23andMe. That could give startup founders one more reason to stay private or at least reconsider the consequences of Founders Mode, a narrative that has been sweeping through tech in recent weeks, especially when you have to answer to a public board and shareholders. Now, the CEO and founder of the DNA testing company, Anne Wojcicki, she brought the company Public Vice back just three years ago. It has since lost 99.9% of its value from a $6 billion market cap peak. So she decided earlier this year that 23andMe should be private and firmly in her control. She proposed buying back all outstanding shares
Starting point is 00:59:41 that she didn't already own. The board rejected that proposal, but she still has enough control to block other potential bidders. It has now culminated with all seven members of that board resigning and a notice from the NASDAQ threatening to delist the company if she can't replace them by October 3rd. Now take a look. This is the current webpage of 23andMe's board of directors. It's mighty lonely. Previously though, it included some of the most important
Starting point is 01:00:08 leaders in tech and healthcare. These are just some of them. Sequoia Capitals, Roloff Botha, YouTube CEO Neil Mohan, renowned MDs. They were attracted in the first place to Wajitski's drive to move fast and ship products, pioneering direct to consumer genomics. It's founder's mode basically, this whole whole saga playing out in public with all the screening
Starting point is 01:00:28 that goes along with this. Founder's Mode, which means I failed miserably. Everybody's data is at risk, which I will say this show said, don't do this. Do not send your DNA to this Google woman. To anybody. To anybody, yes. Don't do this. Do not send your DNA to this Google woman. To anybody. To anybody. Yes. Don't do it. And now there's no oversight. The stock is under a buck. It's like 30 cents. And she'll eventually have full control. What's she gonna do?
Starting point is 01:00:59 She's going to sell it. Good work, everybody. Her idea was that I don't think it was a bad idea from her perspective to go private. Yeah. Out of scrutiny. Suck it back up, take it off the market at low money. This is what Michael Dell did and did quite well for himself by taking his company off the market.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Take it off the market. I don't understand why these board members who were handpicked by her to begin with all bailed out on the idea because it would have been a moneymaker. You, but you take it back and then you rejigger it and then roll it out a second time with another IPO and make a ton of money. I mean, it just doesn't make sense. Because there's obviously a lot wrong with this company. So much wrong. A lot is wrong inside that company.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Yeah, well, there you go. Don't spread your DNA around. If there wasn't something else wrong, this is a great idea. And then the final scam, which came out in a senatorial oversight. It's scam day on the New Agenda Show. It is scam day.
Starting point is 01:02:03 This is something we learned from Trump. Sc scam day. This is something we learned from Trump. This is something we learned from Trump when he talked about the pharmacy benefit managers who we tried to get out of the equation. You remember he said a lot of people are not going to be happy. They're going to want to kill me over this. And this is the Ozempic hearing. Bottom line is you are charging the American people substantially more for the same exact drug than you are charging people in other countries.
Starting point is 01:02:32 And my question is why? We don't decide the price for patients. And that's said by the insurance companies. Senators grilled the maker of Ozempic and other weight loss drugs about why Americans pay so much more than other countries. Take a look at the difference here. So the company Norvo Nordisk charges $969 a month for Ozempic before insurance and rebates here in the United States compared to $155 a month in Canada and 59 bucks in Germany.
Starting point is 01:03:05 The CEO blamed the US healthcare system, arguing that so-called pharmacy benefit managers, the middlemen between insurance companies and drug makers, are the ones who negotiate prices and get in the way of passing discounts to customers. There is a market that we have to operate in and we negotiate hard to make sure that Americans have access. Just last week, the Federal Trade Commission announced legal action against three pharmacy
Starting point is 01:03:34 benefit managers accusing them of inflating insulin prices. The whole system is corrupt. It's completely corrupt. Yeah, and the insurance companies are behind the whole thing. Yes. Which everyone's afraid to do anything about in our government. I guess they're the big donors. But it is scam day.
Starting point is 01:03:52 The donors think that. So there's that, I can't remember this woman's name. She was on Gut Field last night. She's a long time liberal, but she's kind of turned. She's that kind of attractive lesbian fitness girl. She's on a lot of TV shows. Wait, Jillian Michaels? Yes. Yeah. Oh, I love her. She did a whole beautiful thing in a hearing the other day. Like eight minutes. Yes, she talked about that a little bit, but on the show she went after Ozempic. Good. To an extreme.
Starting point is 01:04:25 I wish I should have clipped it or I could still do it, but I'm not going to. I'll just tell you. She went off on it. And it was like, wow, she's never going to be back on this show again. No, no, can't be on Fox doing that nonsense. Nope. No, no. She did eight minutes in this hearing and she got a standing ovation.
Starting point is 01:04:45 It was very good. And of course it was one of those sub rooms where they just shove a bunch of tables together in a big square. Well, yes, I'm in Washington DC testifying. No, you're in like some little side room that nobody cares about. Yeah, it's always Ron Johnson who I appreciate that he does it. He does that a lot. Come to my party.
Starting point is 01:05:10 It's like school. Let's all put the tables in a square so we can all see each other. Let's hold hands and tell a secret. She had one funny bit she's talked about because they do these different segments and one of them is about Diddy. She says, she was them is about Diddy. And she says, you know, she was good friends with Diddy and never got invited to any of these parties.
Starting point is 01:05:30 What's wrong with me? Well, she's a lesbian. Hello, you're a lesbian. You're no good. Did you see the bodyguard? It was like, and all these hot girls, all topless. I went into the men's room and there she was. She lifted her skirt up.
Starting point is 01:05:43 It's like, wow, these diddy party. Ain't no party like a diddy party. This is it. This is the year. Cat Williams was right. Everything's gonna be, all that is hidden will be known this year. It's all coming.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Yeah, a lot is coming out. A lot is coming out. It will not be on the six o'clock news for sure. You'll hear it on a podcast and you'll go, eh. Delighted, just delighted to see Vice President Harris do a sit down interview with Stephanie Ruhl. Stephanie Ruhl who loves her. Well, and so, and the boys at the at the, at the trading desk there on the, at
Starting point is 01:06:26 Goldman loved her when she was still at Goldman Sachs, I have that from the New York banker, former New York banker. And Stephanie, what was she, what was her extracurricular activities? Was there something going on? What did she say that for? I believe so. Yes. I believe she was one of those girls.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Yes. One of those. And, and she's, you know, and Scott Galloway loves her. Oh, I love me some Stephanie Ruehl. She's the best. She's great with her Starbucks. So I have some very, one- I'm glad you got clips because I looked at it. I saw nothing but the same old, same old middle class bull crap.
Starting point is 01:07:04 And I clip nothing. I have old, same old middle class bull crap. And I clipped nothing. I have some, some overview clips. I got some, some, some shorties here. One, one a little longer than some just short ones, like 30 seconds. And the reason why I'm playing these is I kind of realized without saying it on the last show, we talked about, uh, Racist, the Matt Walsh movie. And the beauty of that movie is that when you see it in context of the movie,
Starting point is 01:07:33 you see that America is not racist. You see the grifters who have been gaslighting, the gaslighting grifters who have made everyone to at least at best argue over whether America's racist and at worst they create the 1619 project and oh we're the most racist, we're the systemically racist, racist, racist, but then you really look at it like this is not true, this is not true. And the same is with this Stephanie Rule interview. Kamala Harris is not a threat to the presidency. She will not be president. America will not vote for her. This is just more
Starting point is 01:08:13 gaslighting by the media. And the worst part is a lot of people who will not vote for her are like, oh, Kamala, she wins. You're making yourself crazy and ill with this stuff. Let's just pull it apart. Let's start with her economic plan. Madam Vice President, you just laid out your economic vision for the future. But still, there are lots of Americans who don't see themselves in your plans. For those who say these policies aren't for me, what do you say to them?
Starting point is 01:08:48 Well, if you are hardworking, if you have the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do, you're in my plan. I have to tell you, I really- you're in my plan. You know, I have to tell you, I really... You're in my plan. You can keep your doctor, you're in my plan. Love and I'm so energized by what I know to be the spirit and character of the American people.
Starting point is 01:09:18 We have ambition, we have aspirations, we have dreams, we can see what's possible, we have an incredible work ethic, but not everyone has the access to the opportunities that allow them to achieve those things. But we don't lack for those things. But not everyone, you know, gets a hand of stuff on a silver platter. And so my vision for the economy, I call it an opportunity economy, is about making sure that all Americans, wherever they start, wherever they are, have the ability to actually achieve those dreams and those ambitions, which include, for middle-class families, just being able
Starting point is 01:09:59 to know that their hard work allows them to get ahead, right? I think we can't, and we shouldn't aspire to have an economy that just allows people to get by. People want to do more than just get by. They want to get ahead. And I come from the middle class. Oh yeah. So no American watching this heard anything of any use. Zero. Okay. Let's talk about price gouging. Prices are still hot. I agree with you. Zero. Okay, let's talk about price gouging. Prices are still hot.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Yeah, I agree with you. You said you want to take this on by going after those who engage in price gouging. Yeah. But as somebody who supports free markets, who's a capitalist, how do you go after price gouging without implementing price controls? Because once we get in this zone, people start to get worried and they say, I don't know what she stands for. So just to be very frank, I am never going to apologize for going after companies and
Starting point is 01:10:58 corporations that take advantage of the desperation of the American people. And as attorney general, I saw this happen. Oh yeah. In the midst of an emergency, whether it be an extreme weather event or even the pandemic, we saw it. Really? Where those few companies, not the majority, not most. Those are the only companies you allowed to stay open, Madam Vice President. But those few companies that would take advantage of the desperation of people and jack up prices. Yeah, I'm going to go after them. Yes, I'm going to go after them. And that is part of a much more comprehensive plan on what we can do to bring down the cost of living,
Starting point is 01:11:36 including housing, including the everyday needs of the American people. Okay. So right on cue, Elizabeth Warren and Senator Bob Casey come out with a warning. We're sounding the alarm. Listen to this. Many grocery chains, including Kroger, have rapidly expanded their use of ESL in recent years. Are you familiar with ESL? ESL in recent years. Are you familiar with ESL? ESL? Yes, electronic shelf labels. So instead of some high school student on Saturdays going around that would click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. You remember, we used to look at the little price tag and there'd be five underneath it.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Did I just put another price tag on top? Yeah. Yeah. So now they have a little digital readout that gives you the price. And Kroger has been using this since 2018 and has since expanded it to 500 stores nationwide. ESLs may help Kroger extract maximum profits from consumers at a time when Americans are dealing with the cost of grocery prices. Their margins are one to two percent. I know the margins in a grocery store are close to zero.
Starting point is 01:12:55 But then Warren throws a little more on top saying dynamic pricing, which is okay, well, all right, so now it's a little faster instead of the college or the high school students putting stickers on everything. All right, dynamic pricing allows corporations to price gouge and suddenly raise the cost of goods without warning. Kroger has also proposed to place facial recognition cameras
Starting point is 01:13:22 on its digital shelves that can make different offers to shoppers based on their age, gender, or potentially their race and other personal characteristics. They're gonna be racist. This is bull crap. Of course it's bull crap, but they're gasoline. And by the way, dynamic pricing, which has been in play in various industries,
Starting point is 01:13:39 especially the hotel industry. Since the 40s. Decades tends to price lower. Yes! The idea is as you get near the end of the shelf life or whatever it might be in terms of a room available at a hotel, they drop the price. They don't raise the price. Now, just on the other hand, I will say this because dynamic pricing does take place in
Starting point is 01:14:04 San Francisco parking. The meters are all set up. So if there's a Giants game, for example, in the area where there's some parking meters, the price of an hour of parking will triple. Right. But there's no competition for the parking. If you have competition, if you have multiple stores, a Kroger and an HEB or whatever else it is, Publix, then it will result in price lowering. That's how it works because people are price conscious, but they're just gas lighting.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Oh, well, we need price fixing. Oh, we can't have that. Anyway, Madam VP, how are you going to do these taxes you talk about, the corporate tax and everything, if Congress decides not to pay for it? After all, they do control the purse strings. Expanding that child tax credit, or mentioned housing before giving that extra money for a first home. If you can't raise corporate taxes or if GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that? Do you still go forward with those plans and
Starting point is 01:15:17 borrow? What do you think the answer is? What do you do? If you are the vice president, now President Harris, John, what would you do if Congress won't do it? Executive order. Well, but we're going to have to raise corporate taxes and we're going to have to raise, we're going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share.
Starting point is 01:15:41 That's just it. It's about paying their fair share. We're just going to have to do it. I have no idea how. We're just going to have to do it. I have no idea how. We're just going to have to do it. You know, I don't know how any politician... You have to be an idiot. And this woman is not the smartest person I've ever seen running for office. No. No. No. You have to be an idiot for part of your platform to be to raise taxes because that's all they want to break they want to take more money from me I'm voting for her
Starting point is 01:16:08 it always works it always works now let's do a little fact check just a fact check because your opponent there's no such thing as a little job because your opponent almost every day seems to be talking about this so I just want to ask you yes or no at any point in your, have you served to all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun, working at a McDonald's? Yes or no? That's it. I have.
Starting point is 01:16:34 Okay. Now the other job. Now the other job. But it was not a small job. Like I did the fries. I mean, I, you know, yes, but I did. Okay. She sticks to it.
Starting point is 01:16:44 There's no evidence. And of course, Trump is making a big joke out of it continuously. And then the new word. Wait, wait. I hate to have you back this up, but how did she describe what she was doing? She was standing over the fries. She was in charge of the fries. In that clip.
Starting point is 01:17:02 In that clip. Yes. She says it. The end. You want to hear it again? Hello? If you can play it again, I'd like to hear it again. Yeah, I'll play the answer. Have you served to all beef patties special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, working out of McDonald's? Yes or no? That's it. I have. Okay, now the other job. But it was not a small job. Like I did the fries. I mean, I, you know, yes it. I have. Okay, now the other job. It was not a small job. I did the fries.
Starting point is 01:17:28 She dunked fries. Not a small job. But you know, the question that she asked is, have you ever at any point in your life, I'm sure as a politician, she's probably served people at McDonald's, everyone does it. Like, hi, can I take your order? I'm a politician working at McDonald's. I'm just like you. So she's probably not actually lying, but you know, the original claim was that I worked at McDonald's. I come from a middle-class family in Canada. Here's the new word, the new word of the day.
Starting point is 01:18:02 You'll hear it three times in 27 seconds. Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing and looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in holistic manner That includes prioritizing affordable housing for working people So I can tell you from firsthand experience if you're in a Silicon Valley meeting and someone's pitching their company and they say they're gonna do Something holistically the checkbook goes back into the bag Yeah, now I watched this too now this holistically. The checkbook goes back into the bag. Yeah. Now, I've watched this too. Now, this holistically thing always came with a hand gesture.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Yes, a round ball. And the hand gesture is the same as the gesture of turning the page. You have a call. I do. It's the same as turning the page. I'm going to go hang that up. Yeah, okay. Let me go hang it up. Hang it up. It's the same as turning the page. He's walking to the other side of the office. Be careful. Don't trip on any of those piles. Could be very painful. If we hear cans, then we know John has fallen. Hello?
Starting point is 01:19:29 Nobody there. Okay. Why don't you have the phone near your desk? It is near my desk. This podcasting section of the office is not the desk. Okay. All right. But yes, it's turning the page. She wants, she has that hand motion and, and it's like Pavlovian. So the holistic motion is exactly the same as her and she's kind of dropped it turning the page, but she loves that hand. It's like, Oh, these are not the drones. I mean, it's just like this hand movement.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Oh, these are not the drones. I mean, it's just like this hand movement. Yeah. Yeah. It's done for some neuro-linguistic programming-like reason. Yes, yes. Well then, just the final clip, 11 seconds. This is the only question we really care about. Can we trust you?
Starting point is 01:20:20 Yes. Yes. Yes. I am not perfect. Yeah. Yeah. But. I am not perfect. Yeah. Yeah. But I will tell you, I'm always going to put the needs of the people first.
Starting point is 01:20:30 Yeah, that's right. You can trust me. Trust me. What does that even mean? I don't know, but she puts the means of the people first. This woman is so bad that even Eva McKend on CNN is like, no, no, no, no. And of course she's black, so the panel couldn't say anything to her
Starting point is 01:20:49 because it's about immigration. The vice president has a long history, a well-documented history of really being an ally to these immigrant communities. She has two chapters in her book, I Say We Fight and We Are Better Than This, where she really makes a robust case for undocumented immigrants during the Trump administration.
Starting point is 01:21:07 She talked about a climate of fear. She dismissed the border wall as ineffective and a waste of resources. And so, and even her guest at the joint session of Congress was a DACA recipient, was a dreamer. And so for her to go down there and characterize herself as tough on the border, to me, it isn't consistent with a lot of the policy positions that she previously has espoused. Yeah, exactly. She's a liar. She's a liar. Everybody knows it. But yet everyone's also worked up over her. And well, they're going to steal the election. You know, you think people would think that they, the Republicans are pretty dumb. I mean, always dumb as anyone else.
Starting point is 01:21:51 The Republicans are dumb. They are pretty dumb. But when it comes to these elections, they have also figured some stuff out. Let me see. I think it's, yeah, this is CBS. Just as Vice President Kamala Harris arrived seeking new altitude in this battleground state, a Georgia state election board controlled by former President Donald Trump's supporters is causing turbulence.
Starting point is 01:22:19 With just more than six weeks until election day, three Republicans who hold a majority on the board voted to change the rules for handling ballots, requiring poll workers at each precinct in Georgia's 159 counties to conduct a hand count of all the ballots on election night, in addition to the traditional machine count. Trump ally Janelle King. What I don't want to do is set a precedent that we are okay with speed over accuracy. I don't see any danger in hand counting if the complaint is that, you know, I just don't want to stay there an extra hour.
Starting point is 01:22:53 That's just not a good enough complaint for me. An idea opponents blistered as an attempt to slow the vote count. We are talking about all these last minute changes and it makes me question whether members of this board are operating in good faith. Others said it will cost millions of dollars to hire and train additional workers. Say again? I said they're acting not acting in good faith by asking for a hand account. Oh yeah, that's ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:23:20 It changes and it makes me question whether members of this board are operating in good faith. Others said it will cost millions of dollars to hire and train additional workers and so distrust in the results and delay tabulation of final results by days or weeks. I brought with me 1,872 pages of paper representing what a stack of ballots could look like on a busy counting day. All the top Republicans in the state, including the governor, have criticized the board's actions, accusing them of exceeding their authority and making 11th hour changes. Trump, meanwhile, has lauded and thanked the board members for considering new rules.
Starting point is 01:24:00 They're on fire. They're doing a great job. So the Republicans are doing their bit too. They're trying to stop the steal, of course. Although then I hate to say it because I met him and I kind of like the guy. Mike Lindell put his foot in it. Mr. MyPillow guy. This is dynamic pricing at its worst.
Starting point is 01:24:24 MyPillow founder founder Mike Lindell is known for supporting conspiracy theories including backing Donald Trump's false claims that he won the 2020 election claim not a false claim and now more eyebrows are raising Lindell has put his pillows on sale for 1488 is that a bargain price or a secret signal to neo-Nazis? A new controversy for the MyPillow guy for allegedly sending coded messages to white supremacists and neo-Nazis. We're having the biggest MyPillow sale ever.
Starting point is 01:24:56 It's a new ad for MyPillow for $14.88. The numbers 14 and 88 are common symbols among hate groups. 14 stands for a 14-word slogan embraced by white supremacists. The number 88 is alleged to be an abbreviation for Heil Hitler, since H is the eighth letter of the alphabet. Dog whistle goes this comment on social media. This is intentional, but not everyone is seeing the connection. Such a stretch goes this comment. We reached out to MyPillow's CEO Mike Lindell, who was featured in all his company's ads but got no response.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Lindell is known for pushing debunked conspiracy theories. Today Lindell denied the price of his... Stop, stop, stop the clip. So they're condemning Lindell for accepting conspiracy theories with false claims, whatever it is, while the whole exposition here is a conspiracy theory. It's very meta. Do they know that they're like expressing a conspiracy theory? It's a call to the neo-Nazis, John. All the Nazis are buying pillows because we're going to do a pillow fight.
Starting point is 01:26:11 I don't even know what it means. Well, I do actually. The 14 words, according to the book of knowledge, is a reference to two slogans originated by David Eden Lane, one of the nine founding members of the defunct white supremacist terrorist organization, The Order. And our company, this is so deep. And our company- Yeah, they want you to order a pillow. Yes, order is get a pillow. And our company by Lane's 88 Precepts. The slogans have served as a rallying cry for militant white nationalists internationally.
Starting point is 01:26:40 The primary slogan, ready for the 14 words? Yeah. We must secure the existence of our people and their future for white children Followed by the secondary slogan because the beauty of the white Aryan woman must not perish from the earth Talk about a conspiracy theory of a guy who's a conspiracy theorist Mike Mike Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. It's an odd number too. 1499.
Starting point is 01:27:09 Unbelievable. What happened to 1499? I mean that was... Well 14, yeah, he could have done 1495, which is like a Costco number. Could have done anything. But I guess now it... It probably, you know, somebody, you know,
Starting point is 01:27:22 I always suspect there's somebody that else that does is just to kind of set him up. Oh, very possible. Cause he's, he's not a guy that would, he's really seems like a, this is a nice guy. Yeah. He doesn't have any of the earmarks of any sort of nutty white supremacists. So this is like, I got a great idea.
Starting point is 01:27:45 Let's do 1488. Okay, sounds good. Hey, that's good. That's a good price. We'll make a nice profit. Meanwhile. That's a good price for that pillow. It's best price.
Starting point is 01:27:59 This is Chinese. It must be coming in from somewhere else. Meanwhile, I started getting emails. People just like they're texting me. They're not texting me, they're sending me emails like text messages. This is crazy. No link. Oh, I can't believe this.
Starting point is 01:28:16 No link. Like five, six in a row. Yeah, I didn't get these. Well, no, they can't spell your last name. It's very difficult to find Dvorak.org. They send it to Dvorak.com. And it was another Zoom call. This time, of course, we had black women for Harris.
Starting point is 01:28:39 We had white dudes for Harris. We had Christians for Harris. We had more celebrities people don't care about anymore for Harris, we had Christians for Harris, we had more celebrities people don't care about anymore for Harris, we had comedians for Harris, and now we had geeks and nerds for Harris, which is really should be watched. And I will only play you the opening sequence as they brought in Wonder Woman, Linda Carter,
Starting point is 01:29:10 to host this fabulous call. This was a mistake. I don't know if she's drunk. I don't know if this is just how she is, but a host of a Zoom call she is not. Good evening and welcome to Geeks and Nerds for Harris. I am Linda Carter and I'm thrilled to be here to support our brilliant Vice President Kamala Harris. We are here tonight for duty, for our country, for our freedoms, for justice, equality, and
Starting point is 01:29:48 community. That's why I am here with you today. That and to share the joy and hope with people I adore. Joy and hope! To geeks and the nerds of America. Ah, America! America! America! The Curious Club of Kooky Collaborators coming together for Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 01:30:11 That's why we need you to rise up. Rise up. And defend our democracy by getting out the vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Tonight, we'll be joined by dozens of geek and nerd icons from TV. Like LeVar Burton. Oh, I mean, no. How come they don't do Love Island for Harris? People would watch that. They would love island drunk. She does sound drunk. No, what real Americans are talking about is what's happening in their cities. The rent's too high. That guy, where's the guy with the boot on his head?
Starting point is 01:30:53 That guy is so good. No, that's a different guy. I think the original rent's too high guy's dead. The guy with the boot on his head is everyone gets a pony. I liked him. Um, so Chicago is in disarray. I mean, there's, there's people who grew up in Chicago and I have people sending me sub stacks and it, it's just, it's horrible what has happened to the
Starting point is 01:31:20 city. And now we have the TDA, was it Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang. And I believe this to be true. It may be exaggerated here, but they're coming in and the Chicago gangs, who have been killing each other, you know, I don each other at 30 people a weekend, they're like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hold on a second. You can't come in here and take our turf. So now we're going to see, we had like, I think I heard Darren say they had 37 people shot last weekend.
Starting point is 01:31:59 You didn't really hear about it, of course. Of course not. With three dead, four dead. Darren said they're doing great. It's moving ahead just beautifully in Chicago. He's in Chicago. So here's a former gang member. So Venezuelan gang members moving into Chicago have caught the attention of the city's local counterparts, bringing tensions to an all-time high. Our next guest is a former gang member who now runs a violence prevention program and warns that the city may go up in flames fearing an all out turf war.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Explain to us what's happening on the ground. So let me just say this. We just heard about a vice president who says she specialized in locking up and arresting transnational gangs. While the very party that she's a part of, the policies with the sanctuary cities and the border crisis, she supports. And now the influx of it is, which is oxymoronic at the same time. Now we have to fight transnational gangs and the influx of these men who we don't
Starting point is 01:33:09 know where they come, what crimes they committed, and the violence that they've been involved with thus far. Oxxymoronic. With that being said, we're on the front line every day making sure that our communities are safe. And it's really not about the black community this is just the beginning because violence anywhere is violence everywhere. America should be afraid that this can happen in America's cities one of the biggest cities most tourists one of the biggest tourists attract in city in the country that we can watch this happen all over the country and not be
Starting point is 01:33:46 outraged. And this is the policies, sir, this is what I'm saying, Lawrence, it's the policies that has affected our community and has turned black people, black communities against the current administration. You know Tyrone, you hit it on the head. That's right Tyrone. Oxymoronic is probably the best show title I've heard in a while. I wrote it down, it's so good. Oxymoronic. But it's true, this is what everybody's seeing.
Starting point is 01:34:15 I want people to calm down. Stop watching your social media feed. There's nothing to be afraid of here. And besides, we're not going to vote our way out of the mess. We got a lot more to do. It's not just who's president. It won't help if Harris ever became president, but it's not going to happen. And she's so lame, she's not even showing up to the Al Smith dinner.
Starting point is 01:34:46 Yeah, that was pretty lame if you're a Democrat. But I mean, the Al Smith dinner is fantastic. Now, this has been around for a long time. And the best one, I'd look, I don't, we didn't have any clips, or at least I couldn't find anything labeled, is when Trump and Clinton were both there, and he was busting on her and she was busting on him, and it was funny. And of course the media is like, whoa, Trump is not funny. He's no good. And now she's not even going to show up.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Here's Cardinal Dolan. Why is he an important piece of this? Is it some kind of religious dinner? Hmm. I have no idea. We're disappointed. We were looking forward to giving the vice president an enthusiastic welcome. And we were confident that she would find this. You know, she speaks very much about the high ideals and how it's good to get away from division and come together in unity and all.
Starting point is 01:35:45 Well, that's what the Al Smith dinner is all about. We haven't given up yet. We're not used to this. We don't know how to handle it. This hasn't happened in 40 years since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation. And remember, he lost 49 out of 50 states. I don't want to say there's a direct connection there. But so we're not used to this and we're not giving up. You know, who's
Starting point is 01:36:05 been a help to us, Lauren, is Senator Schumer and Governor Hokel. They both are working hard to see that they convince her to come. So there's still a chance. Yeah. And Senator Schumer said to me, I don't think she made the decision. I think her schedule is an odds or say she can't make it. So we're not giving up. We hope she's here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Schedule. She doesn't do anything.
Starting point is 01:36:28 She doesn't have interviews or do much of anything. But her schedule has interfered with this, sure. I thought that this election cycle, our fourth now in the life of the show, I thought I was going to be really sick of it. But it's kind of taken an interesting twist. This is. They're all different.
Starting point is 01:36:44 This is very different because this is not a serious candidate. She's just not. In fact, she's lazy. We've discussed this. Yes. This is just too much work. At some point she goes, I want to go to this thing for. If I don't want to... I can't talk. I don't want to, I just, I can't talk. Don't want to do this.
Starting point is 01:37:10 And you followed the whole Janet Jackson thing. That was pretty funny. Yes, I did. She's not black. Yeah. She not, she not black. And the view of course had to have a whole long conversation about it. I don't know if you want to hear that or not. You got that? Yeah, of course I got it.
Starting point is 01:37:26 You want to hear it? Oh first let's play the... Actually we should probably protest the Euclid. Janet Jackson is not backing down from the wild statements she made about Kamala Harris. She's not black, Jackson told the Guardian newspaper. Her father's white. That's what I was told. I was told that they discovered her father was white. Harris' father is black. He was born in Jamaica. But Jackson insisted on repeating the wacky conspiracy theory first raised by Donald Trump seven weeks ago. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. That's also not true. The wacky conspiracy theory came up years ago. It came up years ago.
Starting point is 01:38:09 And that Trump clip is out of context. Yes, completely out of context. Anyway, here we go, ladies and gentlemen, stand by because we're going to give you a trigger warning. At the tone, a clip from The View will be played. Shelter in place. Superstar Jenny Jackson just did a wide ranging interview with British newspaper The Guardian, but most of the focus is on when she was asked her thoughts on VP Kamala Harris possibly become
Starting point is 01:38:38 the first black female president. She answered by saying that she had heard that Harris' father was white, which we all know is false. And a staffer claims that he was fired for issuing an apology in her name and that her team certified he wasn't authorized to speak on her behalf. Now, Jackson has not responded to requests for comment, but no matter how you feel about celebs speaking out politically,
Starting point is 01:39:07 you know, is it okay for somebody to say, you know, I made a mistake? Well, she hasn't said that she made a mistake. We don't know what she said because it's been one thing and another. That's Anna Navarro. There's something dirty about listening to The View. You feel just scuzzy. You know what I mean? Just like this filth, dirt just comes over you and like, ugh.
Starting point is 01:39:34 It's a creepy show. Yes. Look, I think Janet Jackson, like— The guests are all creeps. Yeah. Well, here's Anna, because they had a whole conversation about this. Every other American, whether you're a celebrity or not, has a right to endorse, support, or not support, whomever they want.
Starting point is 01:39:51 So she's got every right to not like Kamala Harris if she doesn't want to. But that's not what she said. What she doesn't know, what she did was spread misinformation. And I think it's very irresponsible when you have a platform the way Janet Jackson does platform to use that platform Janet Jackson has a platform does what is this? What is the name of this platform? Janet social is the name of her platform to spread misinformation based on a Racist allegation by Donald Trump, right? It was Donald Trump who tried to say Kamala Harris just turned black. So let's just go through the 101.
Starting point is 01:40:27 Kamala Harris is the daughter of two immigrants. Her mother is South Asian from India. Her father is black from Jamaica. Here is a picture for all of you who need, or for Miss Jackson, if you're nasty, here's the damn picture. I feel like a picture of Kamala Harris would have done the trick. But what's so great about this is this particular brand of gaslighting is by looking at the
Starting point is 01:40:55 nuance of what is meant by black. When we say black in America, we typically mean ADOS, American descent of slavery. That's what black is. And that's what Barack Obama was not, Michelle Obama was, is. She's got other identity issues. So they're really just splitting hairs here over skin color. This is the real racism. Yep.
Starting point is 01:41:30 This is systemic racism on this show. The view is systemically racist. Listen, we forget that we live in information silos. This is so different than how the media was even 10 years ago, where people largely got their news and their information from legacy media, where there was a lot. What are you, lady? What is legacy media compared to the view? Your legacy media.
Starting point is 01:41:52 A level of objectivity and a fact check involved. So if you perhaps get, and I'm just saying this for an example, get all your news on Facebook and you lean right of center, that algorithm is monetized and going to tee up information that reinforces your own beliefs. and you lean right of center, that algorithm is monetized and going to tee up information that reinforces your own beliefs. If you're a Trump supporter online, you very likely won't encounter ever some of the worst things that he has said.
Starting point is 01:42:13 The same does go for the left. I don't even know the partisan breakdown of what happened here, but my guess is she's not looking at great sources of media. And I say all this because... Janet Jackson, you're watching the wrong media. It's why I try to not have judgment with Trump voters instead I try to engage them because I find people who are highly educated, highly successful that support him but they often
Starting point is 01:42:34 don't know if some of the biggest scandals are the worst things that he said about people or things that he's done and I think if you take the judgment out and just kind of get back to facts and in trying to persuade people, it helps. Oh, because you know, really it's the New World Order who has determined this. This is the number one most severe warning in the short term we have globally. Misinformation and disinformation. The World Economic Forum said this is our greatest. The World Economic Forum says it. Oh, well, pump the breaks. Risk in the next few years and it's not just this country, it's everywhere. And a few reasons you mentioned that. Stop for a second. Misinformation and disinformation. I like the fact that they're
Starting point is 01:43:17 discussing this after years and years and years of Sonny Hoskins saying she was black and it turns out she's Spanish. And her ancestors were slave owners. They were slave owners. Owners. Oh no. Risk in the next few years and it's not just this country, it's everywhere. And a few reasons you mentioned that you've got the algorithm, but you also have internal people like Donald Trump who ironically created or coined the term fake news willingly and on the daily it seems, perpetuating false stories on purpose.
Starting point is 01:43:51 But then you also have foreign adversaries. We recently learned of Russia paying millions of dollars to content creators to keep them doing this. Oh, millions. Pool boy. The big message here is going back to journalism. Talk about your misinformation right there. Right there. Oh, well, Russia was paying millions of dollars to content creators.
Starting point is 01:44:13 Now, that's not exactly what happened. Content creators to keep them doing this. So the big message here is going back to like journalism 101 or just education 101, which is you never single source a story. When you're looking anywhere in journalism, we're always taught you have to back it up in media for as much flack as media gets for being leaning. We can get fired or in trouble for not being able to source where we got our story. What this really is about.
Starting point is 01:44:43 What crap? Well, a boot, what this really is about goes back to Michael Jackson. And I did not, I don't think I had got the clip here. But when Michael Jackson was being, I believe based on my interactions with Michael Jackson, he was asexual, not a pedophile for sure. Trump came out because Trump knew him pretty well. Trump said, this is bull crap. He's being railroaded.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Oh, actually, I have the clip here. He's played with my kids. He's a guy who loves children. He's a little child like himself. But who was the prosecutor or maybe district attorney at the time? Who? Kamala Harris. Listen.
Starting point is 01:45:37 ...like this can depend on the testimony of the child accuser. In general, the child will be able to recall and recollect with some detail the incident, and that is persuasive to a jury, even if it is the only testimony that is available. Michael! Jackson gave a wave when he was released after booking. He's scheduled for arraignment in January.
Starting point is 01:46:01 Michael's been a longtime resident of Trump Tower, and last night, the Donalds strongly reiterated his defense of Jackson with Larry King by going after the accuser's mother. She's had plenty of experience at going after people. And she goes after them viciously and violently. And I saw a story and I read another story about some of the things she's done. And I don't believe it. But you know what it's like when an indictment comes down.
Starting point is 01:46:26 It's tough. It's presumption. It's tough, it's tough to win, but I have a feeling he's gonna win, Larry. The interesting thing is I've known Michael from many different standpoints and Michael would spend a lot of time with my kids. I have beautiful kids and at the time, like at Mar-a-Lago
Starting point is 01:46:43 and even in Trump Tower, the kids were very young. Michael would come play with the kids he just loved children he was not a child molester. And so this is what's really going on this is why our clip archive is unbelievable. This is why Janet Jackson comes out and says you know she's against Kamala Harris because she knows exactly what Kamala Harris did to Michael Jackson. It's amazing that this comes back, isn't it? And it's amazing. Nobody else but you in this case, cause I sure didn't have this, uh, picked up on this, this is the kind of re kind of shallow nature of the reporting we get and
Starting point is 01:47:22 analysis we get on mainstream media and the view and places like that. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in kudos for Crowder. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. Navarro. In the morning to you Mr. Alan Cray, the Marship, Seabigrafian. I understand there's somebody, water dames in the air. And dames in the air and the knights and the dames out there. Yes, and we have a lot of trolls in the troll room. Let's see how many we have in the conference room. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:47:56 What is supposed to be good for a Thursday? Because I'm always... 1800. Oh, we have 1992 at the peak. All right. At the peak, but what's now the peak. All right. All right. At the peak, but what's now? 1889, 1898. Yeah, it sounds right.
Starting point is 01:48:09 Yeah, it sounds right. All right, we have a full quorum. Hello, trolls. Good to see you all here. I actually gave the trolls kudos on the new media show when I was being interviewed, saying they're really what make the show. What's the new media show?
Starting point is 01:48:22 The new media show is Todd and Rob in the afternoon. Todd and Rob in the afternoon. Todd and Rob in the afternoon. They're the afternoon's late. The weather on the eights. They've been doing that show for 18 years or something. No, that can't be eight. They've been doing the show for a long time.
Starting point is 01:48:43 Todd owns Blueberry. He started one long time. And Todd owns Blueberry. He started one of the first hosting companies, Blueberry. And Rob, he's worked at every hosting company in the world. And he also worked at Microsoft on the Zune. He has a very interesting podcast career. So I talked about the trolls. Well, it's really the producers, but a lot of the producers are trolls and they sit in our troll room.
Starting point is 01:49:06 And I think we were leading 15, 16 years ago when we started by doing live shows. We were leading on this. It's the way the podcast in the future will go. People want to be a part of something. So whether they're trolling, and I might pick it up from time to time, or they give us some information like JPCers, you know, the trolls are a part of the show. That's what differentiates us from radio. Radio is like, you can call in, be caller 100 to win a t-shirt. Here, you're a part of the show, man. You're part of the show. And we do it twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays, and we're very happy to be here.
Starting point is 01:49:49 You can join the Troll Room at trollroom.io. You can listen to the stream 24-7 right there and jump in and troll away if you want to. We should mention that Horowitz, your protege, also employs a similar tactic. He does. He uses the Troll Room. Yes. And does he read anything from the... Well, he calls it the chat room. It's not really a similar tactic. He does. He uses a troll room. Yes. And does he read anything from the... Well, he calls it the chat room. It's not really a troll room.
Starting point is 01:50:08 It's a chat room over there when you guys do the show. But he's watching what people say, right? Yeah, as far as I know. Yeah, well, I've taught him well. Horowitz is good. He's a good man. I love him. Good guy.
Starting point is 01:50:22 He's smart. Has a future in this game. As long as he sticks with you, because that's the secret. We all know it. He's got his own podcast too. That's pretty good. Yeah. The Disciplined Investor. Exactly. He had Scaramucci on the other day. That's pretty funny. Yeah. I missed that one. I was going to catch it too.
Starting point is 01:50:38 Well, it's a podcast. You can go back and find it in your modern podcast app. Oh, I never thought of that. Yes. Your modern podcast app, which you can find at podcastapps.com. Be updated within 90 seconds of the publishing of this show and many other shows. Todd actually on the new media show yesterday was reading off some more takedowns from Spotify. They'll take down individual episodes even. I find that the weirdest thing. We don't like what you said there on the five-minute mark, so we're killing this one. I think we're at 12-12 now. You just threw out another W word.
Starting point is 01:51:11 Sorry. It's on you. I don't even know I did that. It's bad enough that we're both at 12-12. I'm usually pretty good at this, but this. No, you would have stopped at four normally. This W word has got a mind of its own. It's nasty. It's very nasty. It's a nasty, nasty word. We live on value for value. I just did a 13-minute piece for a Dutch conference,
Starting point is 01:51:42 podcast knowledge conference. Yeah. Is that all about value for value? the 13 minute piece for a Dutch conference podcast, knowledge conference. Yeah. What was that all about? All about value for value? No, it's all about advertising and marketing. I just said, you know, that's all great, but it's censorship.
Starting point is 01:51:53 You really want to go value for value? It's a form of, yes. Of course it is. If you're just even not being able to talk about a competing product, it's your self-censorship. That's why you won't see that woman, Jillian, whatever her last name is. She'll never be on Fox again
Starting point is 01:52:10 once you're talking down the big pharma, no way. Yep, she talked it, she made, well, and it was not, it was, people should go back and think if they have that thing on tape, then listen to her, she goes off. I mean, if we actually had advertisers, we wouldn't be able to talk about Black Rifle Coffee, wouldn't be able to talk about any resume services or good idea supply, because we have bad idea
Starting point is 01:52:38 supply. None of that. We wouldn't be able to do any of that. Bad idea supply. It's a great store. We wouldn't be able to do any of that. Bad idea to supply. It's a great store. We wouldn't be able to talk about Kirkland as we'd be advertising for Costco. Where's our money from Costco? Where's our Costco check, everybody? A lot of people picked up on that tip of yours. Anyway, instead is Value for Value, Time, Talent, or treasure where we just give you the show. The show is out there.
Starting point is 01:53:08 It's on the podcast. All of them are still in the feed. You can go back, listen anytime, do anything you want. You can copy it. In fact, we encourage that. We encourage you to copy it, hand it to people, put it other places. Just leave it intact so that we have the thank you segment in there so we can thank our producers and you can help us with time, talent or treasure. That would be a great talent or time move
Starting point is 01:53:29 by helping promote the show. A lot of people do that. We have people who we've never set up. This is another part of our genius. We didn't know it at the time, but getting websites up and running and managing servers is very costly. We don't have money for that. We're not CNET. We don't have free food. In fact, the opposite. We don't have any, any caboose with free food out there. So instead producers have an obligation to work on the show and help out.
Starting point is 01:53:58 And that one time when there's a topic that is something that you know about, you need to email us, which is usually just me, because it's hard to spell Dvorak. And you say, hey, I have any complaints. Well, we just got a note from one of our friends about Boeing. Boeing just had the best and final contract offer amongst this strike and one of our producers, amongst the strike and one of our producers who works in the business, I don't want to disclose, says, Boeing in Washington State, California and Oklahoma have let all of their contract engineers go and now they hear them talking about furloughing the direct employee engineers for one week each month to save cash flow. The 737 MAX, the failed space capsule, fired space defense executive, and now a union mechanic
Starting point is 01:54:53 strike. I'm hearing from several buddies at other aircraft companies, they're calling me looking for a new gig as other companies related to this now are preparing to cut. So Boeing is, I think they're dead in the water, John. I really think that, you know, this is not dead in the water because our government. So well, well, okay. Well, someone's got to take this over. This is this is, isn't this where's the, where's Soros?
Starting point is 01:55:24 No, Elon. Elon. Yeah, Elon, he could take it over. This is, this is, isn't this, where's Soros? Where's Soros? No, Elon. Elon. Yeah, Elon, he could take it over. Yeah, he could do it. Yeah. Well, the space division, I know about airplanes. I guess you could do that. He could do it. Those Chinese airplanes look pretty good. Yeah, that's where it's headed. I would fly them. I don't think I'm not too worried about the
Starting point is 01:55:42 Chinese 737 knockoff, it looks okay. You're gonna air worthiness certificate, it's good. You know, best price. I'm sure it's the best price. Best price. We also have artists who do a lot of prompt jockeying these days, although I don't think this one was a, necessarily an AI
Starting point is 01:56:07 creation. Now you can see all of the artwork that is submitted at noagendaartgenerator.com, another website we didn't make. Another fine example of value for value. Thank you, Sir Paul Couture. Nestworks came in for episode 1697. We titled that NEDO, NEDO, which is spelled lowercase N-E-A-T dash O, NEDO, and had just this interesting collage, I would say, of our AI segment with a robot and the notebook LM buckle up and the Walkman, which of course was the exploding Walkman within the Hizzee, which is about our opera takeoff, even has John's Oasis in there. It was just a collage of stuff with some graffiti type lettering, which we liked. And so we chose
Starting point is 01:57:03 it and we appreciate the work that Nestworks did on that one. I don't think that was... I think that had to be a, if there was any AI involved, it had to be a hybrid. Yeah, it could be hybrid. Yeah. You get your main thing and then you jump on it and you get the graphic and then you add this other stuff. And a lot of...
Starting point is 01:57:20 Otherwise it's just, I don't know what prompt you'd use to get all those crazy things going on. Yeah. Well, a lot of, well, it's just, I don't know what prompted you to get all those crazy things going on. Yeah. Well, a lot of, well, it's only going to get worse. You know, the more people put, I mean, I tried to do a, a logo the other day and it misspells the words and it does no shape. Oh, yeah. Yep. Yep. 13. Horowitz is using it for the art for a DH unplugged. Yeah, well, it'll progressively get worse. It'll get worse. It'll get worse over time. It might get worse, it might get better.
Starting point is 01:57:49 Nah, it might get better, then it'll get worse. They don't give you one choice. You usually get four choices every time you put a prompt in or more, depending on your system. And then you could massage it a couple of times. I think sometimes it takes longer to do it that way than actually do the art. I literally had to ask five times, no spell, no agenda. It'd be like, no adjourn. You know, it couldn't get no agenda. Right.
Starting point is 01:58:16 I don't know why it was very, very, uh, Unpredictable quotes. Yes. Yes. Unpredictable results. So we had a certain net Ned who had a nice hot take, a nice piece of art, but didn't really… We had one piece we were going to comment on. We liked the Stowaway by Scaramango. It was between the art we chose and Scaramango's mouse, which was very cute. There's a little mouse there in the in the broccoli and carrots. What else? There was Hot Takes with two old Adam and Johns, which we're never gonna choose that one.
Starting point is 01:58:55 We're gonna like make ourselves look like old white dudes. Yeah, we're already old white dudes. Who needs it? Seriously. What else was there? Who needs the aggravation? Puffy's bad boy oil, which was just Nico's sign, was too simple. I don't remember what we were going to comment on. It had to be the Scaramanga mouse. Yeah, what was wrong with the Scaramanga? It was too cute. No, it just wasn't as interesting overall. It was a mouse and food. It was kind of gross if you think about it. I think there was just something repulsive about the idea. I like Parker
Starting point is 01:59:28 Parker Paulie's P. Diddy in the Epstein suite very very dark very dark humor but thank you thank you artists the people who do the real work are Dutch masters and it shows every single time we can can pick them right out like Nestworks, right up there with Rembrandt and Van Gogh. This is beautiful. No agenda, art generator. Much of this is frameable. Oh, most of it is frameable. I mean, it's just, it's beautiful. Oh, you know, I got a note from, um,
Starting point is 02:00:01 and you can get, by the way, you can go, when you click on these, you can see there's a huge version. There's a different sizes and you can click on the big giant size, download that and you can print it out. I want to remind everybody that a lot of this art shows up at noagendashop.com on t-shirts, hats, hoodies, koozies, all kinds of wonderful products, noagendashop.com. And I got a note from one of our producers
Starting point is 02:00:26 who is a millennial and he sent me a beautiful note. He owns and started with his wife, the company OPWay. Are you familiar with this? No. OPIEWay.com, OPWay.com makes handcrafted sneakers from suede and leather and a very beautiful high end product. Really? Yeah, take a look at it.
Starting point is 02:00:48 opway.com. And he's been, he's in, you know, in big- O-P-A? O-P-I-E-W-A-Y. O-P-way. O-P-way.com. And, yeah, it's nice product. Very nice product.
Starting point is 02:01:02 Oh yeah, these are fancy looking. Yeah, fancy looking. The kind you can wear under your suit if you go to the Academy Awards and you're a hipster. And he says, you know, you guys have kept us sane while we were building this company. I just want you to know there's some millennials who are grinding away.
Starting point is 02:01:21 This is grinding away for sure. Yeah, and he says, you know, and your show has really helped us and we appreciate it. And it's named after that kids. They have two young, two young kids. One is named Opie. The other one's named way. I forget that.
Starting point is 02:01:33 Is that right? No. I forget that. And he says, is it okay if we make a no agenda sneaker? I said, absolutely. You know, same parameters as the shop, don't put our faces on it. But you can use... You know, funny, if you put no agenda on the side of one of these sneakers, because he does a demo on his website here with the Nike logo. And if that was no agenda
Starting point is 02:01:57 stylized on the side and you wore these sneakers around, it would not necessarily be associated with this show, it would just be kind of a cool sneaker. Yeah, it's a cool, cool sneaker. I said, you know, do the same as the shop, like you do whatever you do, you be you boo and send us a donation from time to time if it works out. We don't want any. If there's a shoes that wouldn't hurt. You sound like Tina, she's like, hey I want some sneakers. I said, but he wasn't offering sneakers. He wasn't offering sneakers to you. Yeah, but I want some sneakers.
Starting point is 02:02:30 You don't even wear sneakers. Well, I'll wear these. These are beautiful. Anyway, so just another way that Time, Towns and Treasure fits into our entire system here. And this is the moment in the show where we like to thank our executive and associate executive producers. Lots of people donate to the show.
Starting point is 02:02:49 You can donate in any amount you want, as often as you want, however you wanna do it. Some people haven't donated in 10 years and they say, oh, you know, it's about time for me to do something here. Which is all fine, it's all good. It's value for value. Whatever value you get out of the show, we just ask you to send it back to us. That's all, it's all good. It's value for value. Whatever value you get out of the show, we just ask you to send it back to us.
Starting point is 02:03:06 That's all. It's that simple. By the way, did I hear you had a one hour conversation with Steve Gibson about newsletter software? Yeah, I did. As a matter of fact, everyone knows about this. Well, he was he doing talking about it? Talked about it with Leo.
Starting point is 02:03:24 Oh, so did you learn anything? He talked about it with Leo. Oh. So did you learn anything? Well, a little bit. Yeah? Are you going to switch up? Are you going to use some different program? What are you going to do? Well, we talked about this on the show already a little bit. You pooh-poohed the idea and I said I'm going to go ahead anyway. Okay. So he has, he has, it's, you know, he's not a, he's not doing his newsletter the way we do ours. Ours are, ours are a specific type of newsletter that he doesn't do.
Starting point is 02:03:53 And so I'm not sure about the effectiveness, but yes, we had a long chat about that and other gossipy things, which he didn't obviously mention. Oh, gossipy. That were definitely insightful. Oh, you're going to tell me after the show, you're going to share? Come on. Oh, I can't, let's hurry up. Let's get to the end of the show. I can't wait. So we always want to thank everybody who supports us.

Truth over neutrality. That's interesting. Yeah, we're committed to truth over neutrality. That's a bumper sticker. Yeah, I think so. And to offset the haters trying
Starting point is 02:15:21 to call you out as having an agenda. Which, even if true, good. The pursuit of what is right and true trumps a podcast title all day long. Thanks for doing the work. Okay. Perhaps the only thing worse than the left is Noodle Boy is the modern man who ignores all glowing, glaring evidence while chasing some lofty and unattainable goal of complete and utter neutrality. I don't think anybody does that.
Starting point is 02:15:51 Usually accompanied by a claim of, I'm not political or I'm not going to talk politics. And usually for social reasons, i.e. an attempt not to lose favor with his wife. You got a problem already. There you go. That's not good. Or fear of being called racist or worse, orange. At least the left is brave enough to have a position. Fence sitters and independents in 2024 are nothing more than liberals in libertarian clothing. We all have an agenda.
Starting point is 02:16:22 It's just that some are more closely aligned with courage and a sense of what's right rather than cowardice and selfishness. Keep the faith!

Starting point is 02:21:33 Hezbollah. Hezbollah. Hezbollah. Hezbollah. That I thought people should listen to because it kind of levels out the playing field here since we're promoting Israel on this show, it seems. But first, can we play, let's play a kind of a, um, an overview. This is the, I have two overviews, one from Democracy Now!, which hates Israel.
Starting point is 02:22:05 Yes. And you might as well play the warning, if you want. Warning. Amy Goodman clip inbound. All right. Is that one first? Yeah, please. Tens of thousands of people have fled southern Lebanon as Israel's military continues its
Starting point is 02:22:23 intense artillery and missile attacks. Lebanon's Health Ministry reports the death toll has climbed to at least 599 people, including 50 children. Meanwhile, Hezbollah launched dozens of drones and rockets at Israel, including a long-range missile fired toward Tel Aviv that was intercepted by Israeli air defense systems. Israeli public media is reporting Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant is readying troops for a possible ground invasion of Lebanon. In Beirut, officials say they've secured shelters for 10,000 people displaced from
Starting point is 02:23:02 southern Lebanon. Some of the evacuees were forced into the same shelters they fled to nearly two decades ago during Israel's July 2006 assault. This is Felya Messin, a 58-year-old man who narrowly survived a strike that destroyed her family home. FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, FELYA MESSIN, strike that destroyed her family home. The rocket landed in front of me. I was shocked.
Starting point is 02:23:29 I couldn't hear or see after that. I heard on the military channels that IDF has been given the go for the ground invasion into Lebanon. Well, I found a hole—and there's another report here from NTD, but I'm going to skip that one. We're not given any background on this that's meaningful in the mainstream media. And so again, NTD found one of these guys who can give us some background. And when you listen to it, you realize that the Israelis should do what they're going
Starting point is 02:24:04 to do, which is ground invade. And I want to play these four clips and it's an analysis. LZ has won. And here to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East with us is David Wormser, Middle East Affairs Analyst at the Center for Security Policy. David, thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you again. Now to begin, as Israel and Hezbollah trade strikes,
Starting point is 02:24:27 Israel's military chief says there could be a possible ground incursion into Lebanon. What would that look like? Is this another war? Well, it's good to be with you, Tiffany. I think another ground invasion is, this would be the third that Israel would have to do over a period of 40 years.
Starting point is 02:24:48 If it happens, I would imagine it would happen fairly soon. The Israelis need to move Hezbollah about 30 kilometers north, 20 to 25 miles north of the border because Hezbollah sits on the border ready to commit against Israel what Hamas did to Israel in the south, namely to cross the border, seize hundreds of hostages, and kill thousands. So the Israelis are unwilling to live with that, so they have to push this north. But at the moment, that's a very dangerous war for both the Lebanese and the Israelis. So what you're seeing is the Israelis do all the preparatory work.
Starting point is 02:25:27 The first thing is they took out the command and control, and that was the famous beeper attack, and then the walkie talkie attack, and then essentially killing off the leadership and targeted strikes. Lately, what you've seen is a lot of preemptive strikes against missiles so that when the war begins, Israel expected between five and ten thousand missiles to be hitting Israel per day. This essentially preempts that, so it tries to remove as much of that from the battle as possible so that the Israelis can focus on the ground. I saw a video of a huge explosion in Lebanon, like mini-nuke level.
Starting point is 02:26:06 Is there anything you said about that? Yeah, that was, I think, an ammo dump or something. Oh, that was pretty big. Now, of course, we still don't know what's really going on here. And I, after you listen to these clips, you have to take Israel's side in this. And I think most of it is brought out here in clip two. Now, Israel has repeatedly said that their goal isn't to seek a ground war, rather it is to push Hezbollah north of the Latani River,
Starting point is 02:26:30 which is what Hezbollah agreed to do back in 2006. Now talk to us about the history here and how that plays into what we're seeing unfolding now. The United Nations, in the last Israeli invasion in 2006, what happens is in 1978, Israel was attacked by the PLO in a particularly horrible, after years of missiles from the PLO, the Israelis and a bus attack that killed 40-some Israelis, invaded and took a small strip of land. They withdrew eventually again another major attack and violence the Israelis reinvaded in 82 This time held on to a piece of land until 19 until roughly
Starting point is 02:27:12 2000 to prevent this from happening again the Israelis withdrew and Hezbollah moved in immediately and by 2006 they had attacked Israel seized some hostages three soldiers In 2006, they had attacked Israel, seized some hostages, three soldiers, killed people, and constantly rocketing northern Israel. So Israel in 2006 moved in again, this time about 50 miles in, and the UN passed a resolution 1701 that demanded all Israeli troops leave Lebanon, which they did, and they complied. The border be set, which is what happened with the UN mission a few years later. And Hezbollah stay withdrawn, namely the Israelis pushed them back. They can't move forward below a certain point, which Hezbollah instantly violated.
Starting point is 02:28:02 And then second, Hezbollah was supposed to disarm because it's a militia, it's not part of the Lebanese government and they didn't. Oh, flag on the play. So 1701 is the key here. Nobody discusses this detail. The UN came in and told Israel to do something and told Hezbollah to do something. Israel complied. Hezbollah to do something. Israel complied. Hezbollah did not.
Starting point is 02:28:26 Well, important there is, and this is what I hear from people in Lebanon is like, they're sick of it too. Like this, these Hezbollah guys are a pain. The Lebanese don't want this nonsense. Of course they don't. Their country is already teetering on the brook of a brook, on the br teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Let's go to clip three. Hezbollah never lived up to its side of resolution 1701, and that's now the Israeli demand that resolution 1701 be actually implemented. And if the UN and the world doesn't force on Hezbollah to live up to its terms, the Israelis will go in on the ground and force Hezbollah to live up to its terms.
Starting point is 02:29:12 And with these latest developments, President Biden has signaled while an all-out war is possible in the Middle East, the window for negotiations is still there. Now, reports also cite an Israeli official saying that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is Open to US efforts to mediate the tensions with Lebanon. What would that look like? What would be an ideal that Israel would accept? Yeah, the Israelis basically need his bullet to be deployed north Not on the border so that they can't strike Israel any day of the week to commit an October 7th like massacre, and that a good number of the short-range missiles are distanced from the Israeli border. The vast majority of the missiles that Hezbollah has are short-range.
Starting point is 02:29:56 If you move them back 40 miles or 20 miles even, you've removed a lot of those missiles from being able to hit Israel, and you've removed almost all of them from hitting big Israeli cities. So that's what the Israelis are really after. And they're using Resolution 1701, UN Resolution 1701, basically as their negotiating position, that if Hezbollah lives up to 1701, then that's the end of the crisis with Hezbollah. So is there anything in this analysis that explains why Hezbollah is doing this? Is this, are they-
Starting point is 02:30:30 Cause they're assholes. Are they doing the bidding of Iran? Well, they, they do discuss a little bit of that. I mean, that's basically what you heard here about 1701 is the part I wanted to play. So people have some idea that what this is based on is some UN thing. There was a big UN, UN, UN. So one side goes along with it.
Starting point is 02:30:52 They both agree. And then one side doesn't and the other side doesn't. That's the problem that we have up there. And so that's the reason that this whole thing is taking place. It's not because of Netanyahu being a nutcase. Now there is a little bit of more discussion. There's a guy that's called the bonus clip number four, which kind of veers off and talks about Iran a little bit.
Starting point is 02:31:19 And now as the conflicts in the Middle East hang over the US elections, a spokesman for former president Trump said he was briefed about the alleged Iranian plot to assassinate him, adding that, quote, these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months. What do you make of this, especially when it comes to the topic of elections free of foreign interference? Yeah, well, I mean, an assassination attempt by a foreign government is obviously the highest form of election interference.
Starting point is 02:31:45 Iran is really the story here. We can talk about Hamas, we can talk about Hezbollah, but these are all battlegrounds, pieces on the chessboard that Iran is moving around. And it's very afraid of American policy going in a certain direction that could be tougher against it. The Iranians have killed people abroad who stand in their way consistently since literally the day they took office, they killed their opposition and Iranians abroad who opposed them, anybody who violated Islam in their word, in their mind. They passed a fatwa that said you need to kill them.
Starting point is 02:32:24 And we saw with Salman Rushdie, who was one of the victims of those fatwa, 40 years later they did it. So there's no expiration date on their murderous directives. And after Soleimani was killed, they outright, openly, brazenly said they'll kill him. They'll kill President Trump for having done that. And they've been trying and they annually put out new videos, fantasizing about how they would kill him, quite graphic videos. So there's no surprise here that President Trump is in their crosshairs and they're trying hard to assassinate him, as well as other former officials,
Starting point is 02:33:04 John Bolton, Brian Hook, and others who they see as having been anti-Iranian. Now, okay, a couple of things here. So first of all, when you say, I find it always dangerous because they don't say Lebanon, they say Hezbollah. They don't say Gaza or Palestinians, they say Hamas. But when it comes to Iran, it's just Iran. But it's not, it's the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or, you know, the, the Mullahs or whatever it is.
Starting point is 02:33:32 What do we call it? What name do we put on those guys? Well, you tell me. I don't know, but I find it a little precarious because there's a lot of nice people in Iran. Yeah. I mean, you know, they're all young, very young, very pretty, very demure. Well, I have a, I have a clip here about Trump, about this very topic.
Starting point is 02:33:57 If I were president and a former president and a leading candidate, I'm the leading candidate by far to be the next president. That leading candidate was under threat. But if I were the president I would inform the threatening country, in this case Iran, that if you do anything to harm this person we are going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens. We're going to blow it to smithereens.
Starting point is 02:34:28 You can't do that. Can't do that. And there would be no more threats. There would be no more threats. But right now we don't have that leadership or the necessary people, the necessary leaders. We have two people, not one. We don't even know who our president is right now. Who is our president right now?
Starting point is 02:34:52 We really don't know, but we have two people, not one, that only keep looking. And when you do that, when you just look, trouble always ensues. So it's big trouble for our country. Meanwhile we have the president of Iran in our country this week. We have large security forces guarding him and yet they're threatening our former president and the leading candidate to become the next president of the United States. Certainly a strange set of circumstances. I have some better audio of him talking about Iran.
Starting point is 02:35:28 They're eating the dogs. There you go. But we are not sitting still as the United States because war is always a racket, always good for money. Let's send some troops. The US is sending additional troops to the Middle East in response to the escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. The Pentagon did not provide specifics on the number of troops or what their task will
Starting point is 02:35:50 be once in position. It comes after Israel launched a new wave of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah weapon sites in Lebanon. Lebanese officials say at least 490 people were killed in yesterday's strikes and more than 1200 wounded. Hezbollah launched attacks of its own over the weekend, firing at least 100 rockets into Israel. Another 75 this morning.
Starting point is 02:36:14 The escalation in violence comes as world leaders are in New York this week for a meeting of the UN General Assembly. And if we can move off of Iran into the new world order, who is in New York— Before we do that, we could play a couple of clips from the U.N. meeting that was just mentioned. That's what I was going to do. Why don't you—you go ahead. I have two.
Starting point is 02:36:37 I have the U.N. hate Israel speeches from Democracy Now! who would only play such things. Here in New York, world leaders gathered for the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday condemned Israel's assaults on Palestine and Lebanon. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and said the failure of nations to stop the violence showed the United Nations system and Western values are dying. Chilean President Gabriel Boric also condemned Israel's actions. Why?
Starting point is 02:37:11 I refuse to choose between the Hamas's terrorism or the massacre and genocidal behavior of Netanyahu's Israel. We do not have to choose between barbarities. I choose humanity. We denounce the illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories and the de facto denial of the existence of an independent Palestinian state by the occupying country." U.N. Secretary General António Guterres accused Israel of violating the United Nations Charter and said too many governments are turning a blind eye to international human rights
Starting point is 02:37:43 conventions and the decisions of international courts. Meanwhile, Joe Biden delivered his last speech to the United Nations as U.S. president, calling for a diplomatic solution to end Israel's war on Gaza, even as his administration continues to provide weapons and billions of dollars in aid to Israel's military. No mention of 1701 by her. And I just wanted—this last clip, I'm just going to get it out of the way for you,
Starting point is 02:38:12 because this is a No Agenda exclusive. No, an exclusive. This is the U.N. speech, the Zelensky, a summary of his lengthy speech at the U.N. Zelensky added that more aid from Western nations is needed. My money, my money. The big kind of thing that happened at the UN was not discussed much in the M5M, also known as legacy media.
Starting point is 02:38:39 And that is the, I'm taking a page from the view here. That is the pact I'm taking a page from the view here. That is the Pact for the Future. The Pact for the Future, which was, was it Pact? I think that means an agreement. Everybody signed on to it, Pact. The Pact for the Future, which of course, reasserts, reconfirms all of the SDGs, the Sustainable Development Go goals, and then some.
Starting point is 02:39:06 The UN General Assembly kicked off a marathon week of diplomacy with a summit for the future. I called for this summit because our world is heading off the rails and we need tough decisions to get back on track. The signature event adopted by consensus, a wide-ranging pact for the future. By consensus means there are about eight countries that said no we're not signing this nonsense. A blueprint aimed at ensuring that international institutions can deliver in a world that has changed dramatically since they were created in 1945. Russia, which raised numerous objections to elements of the pact as the months-long
Starting point is 02:39:45 negotiations were wrapping up last week, sought to amend the document moments before its adoption, but failed. The pact has lofty goals for eradicating poverty, ending hunger, and building peaceful and inclusive societies. It also seeks to bridge the digital divide. Now the hard work of implementing it begins. But our people know instinctively that this will only be talk unless there's a fundamental change in what we do and how we do it and who is seen and heard in the corridors of decision making. The Secretary General met one on one with several world leaders Sunday, including Leslie Voltaire,
Starting point is 02:40:26 a member of Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council. They discussed the need to ensure an elected government is in place by February 2026 as agreed by Haitian stakeholders. I love that. Yeah, we'll fix that in 2026. Don't worry about it. It's good. Haitian stakeholders. It's good for, yeah. oh yeah, the stakeholders of Haiti. We know what that means. Rape them. Let's get everything out there we can.
Starting point is 02:40:50 Yeah, I get it from Democracy Now. I want to tell you about the pact for the future. Oh, okay. Well, I was going to tell you that Haitians are suing Trump. Yeah, well, we'll get to that. The, so the pact, so the countries that did not join in the pact, although of course it Yeah, well, we'll get to that. The countries that did not join in the pact, although of course it was consensus. Well, obviously the United States wouldn't join such a stupid thing.
Starting point is 02:41:12 Yeah, we did. Russia, Iran, Chad, also known as Chad, Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and Nicaragua. Haiti? No, Haiti did not sign on. Because what this pact enables is a full digitization to control the masses. The pact includes the idea of biometric digital ID for every global citizen. Of course, a lot of it is tied to banking and what we would call social credit scores. And-
Starting point is 02:41:58 Did China sign on? Yes, China did. So they're good. They're probably providing the technology. Now, as that lady just said, you know, they do, well, it's just words, not deeds. So we got to do it. We got to do it. And the, and I did not get this clip, but the, Guterres, the UN secretary general said, you know, part of this pact in the event of a global shock gives us some extra powers.
Starting point is 02:42:24 Of course, a global shock would be determined by him. Sure. So it's more posturing and people always get worried, oh United Nations, but then I think they just work. They should shut down that thing. I mean, clearly if 1701 doesn't mean anything to them, Yeah, they don't ever meant, yeah, exactly. Then they don't do anything. So I do have a following on your UN exclusive of Zelensky. Zelensky was in the United States. Today he is presenting the victory plan
Starting point is 02:42:58 to President Biden. In fact, he's presenting it to everybody. As his motorcade approached the ammunition plant, a small number of supporters gathered to show their appreciation for Volodymyr Zelensky's visit. It's like three people and a dog. Hey Ukraine! What did he say? Yeah, Ukraine. But the Ukrainian president was there to give thanks himself as factory workers ramp up production of 155 millimeter artillery
Starting point is 02:43:26 shells rounds desperately needed by the Ukrainian army to fight off Russian advances. You see I told you how the Ukraine money goes to us. It's so good. It's good for business. At one point in the war Ukraine was firing between six and eight thousand of the shells per day which started to deplete American stockpiles. The US now aims to manufacture 100,000 rounds per month. The visit kicked off a busy week for Zelensky in the US as he tries to shore up support for Kiev's war effort. After speaking at the UN General Assembly
Starting point is 02:44:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday, he'll hold talks with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Washington on Thursday and is expected to meet with Donald Trump. Oh, that's very interesting. Yeah, that's dubious. Of course, it was just an outrage that the governor of Pennsylvania is there with Zelensky signing the missiles, putting an autograph on missiles that will go into Russia. Yeah, to kill people.
Starting point is 02:44:30 To kill people. It's like- Yeah, good old Shapiro is there on this, Johnny on the Spy. Have you seen the meme of it? No. They have Zelensky standing there and he's signing what looks like giant butt plugs. Okay. I missed that one. That was good. That was good. Just briefly back to the hostages in Gaza.
Starting point is 02:44:56 The prime minister of the United Kingdom had a very strange gaffe. So I call again for restraint and de-escalation of the border between Lebanon and Israel. I again, again, all parties to pull back from the brink. I call again for immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the return of the hostages. I mean, I gotta ask. I mean, I had to watch three different versions. I said, this has got to be AI. But it doesn't appear to be.
Starting point is 02:45:33 He said the return of the sausages. Yeah. What? What? Does this guy have breakfast? He was hungry. He had sausages on his mind, those delicious British bangers. Bangers, bangers. That is just about the oddest thing. Let me hear it again.
Starting point is 02:45:48 The return of the sausages. The return of the sausages. I want all sausages returned, living. I mean that was… Yeah, I couldn't find any evidence that that was fake. That was bizarre. That was just truly bizarre. I didn't, I don't, I don't know how that happens to you. You said it. It's something you do. Well, this, I mean, I like the way he does it with flair.
Starting point is 02:46:14 Return of the sausages. Bring back my sausage. Yeah, this was bizarre. Very bizarre. These people have no business running anything. There's another story that you didn't hear anywhere else. This is on Democracy Now! Oh, God. Did you hear about the shooting at the Harris headquarters?
Starting point is 02:46:34 I read an article about it. Let me see. Shooting at Harris headquarters. There's a shooting. OK. The chancellor of New York City's public school system is stepping down amidst a growing federal bribery investigation. David Bank's announcement comes—
Starting point is 02:46:49 I'm sorry. That's New York corruption. I missed— Wrong clip, wrong clip, wrong clip! The Arizona Democratic Party says a campaign office for Vice President Kamala Harris in Tempe was damaged by gunfire overnight Tuesday. It's the second time bullet holes have appeared in the office's windows in recent weeks. Harris is planning to visit Arizona in the coming days, where she's reportedly planning
Starting point is 02:47:11 to visit the U.S.-Mexico border. Well, that's not good. Oh, it's just—come on, it's Arizona with a bunch of guys driving around with guns. And then, you know, it's like 3 in the morning, a bunch of drunk kids, and they take a couple pot shots at the headquarters. Okay. Well, I'd be rather upset. It's like the guys in the deep south that keep shooting the stop signs with a shotgun.
Starting point is 02:47:34 Yeah, there's a, when we had the sheriff race here in Gillespie County, um, the sign for the outgoing, now outgoing sheriff was shot up by a shotgun. We're getting a cool new sheriff here. There's a new sheriff in town in Gillespie. Did I tell you about this? That my buddy Mike, the former cop from Kerrville with anger management issues, he's going to be the... Anger management guy issues and he's going to be the sheriff?
Starting point is 02:48:00 Yeah, no, he's going to be like, he's going to be training the SWAT team, I think. Oh yeah. Oh, it's going to be fun. Hey, he's my friend. So it's good now. It's good. Then- I do have one Biden clip about the storm.
Starting point is 02:48:14 We didn't talk too much about the hurricanes we did a little earlier, but we didn't play the Biden clip. Okay. I'm looking for it. Biden. Well, I only have looking for it. Biden. Well, I only have one Biden clip. Biden Vax message. I don't see any other Biden.
Starting point is 02:48:30 Yeah. Is that's the one? Yep. Oh. Let me be clear. If you're in a state where a hurricane is often strike, a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now. This is an old clip, John.
Starting point is 02:48:45 Is it? Yes. Yes. Biden vaccinated storm. Yeah, yeah, for sure. That's a very old clip. Well, I got suckered then. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:48:59 Since there's a storm going on right now. Um, let me see. Let me just, I'm 99% sure that's an old clip. Well, that's a good message. Yes, that's what you want to do when there's a storm. Yeah, get vaccinated. Stacey Plaskett, who is a Democrat representative, she's the one that years back said Donald Trump needs to be shot.
Starting point is 02:49:10 You've seen her. Yeah, oh yeah. She's the one that said, you know, you're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated.
Starting point is 02:49:18 You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to get vaccinated. You're going to years back said Donald Trump needs to be shot. You've seen her.
Starting point is 02:49:29 Oh yeah. She did it again. She said the quiet part out loud. It was quite telling. In this case, it was about the FBI. What is the point of this subcommittee? Because it's necessary for the public and the media to hear, to try and provide cover for the eradication of the Department of Justice and the FBI. We are
Starting point is 02:49:53 having these hearings so that you become immune, you become inured to the notion of the removal of the FBI and DOJ, so that those agencies are no longer there to serve as a check against white nationalism, great replacement theorists, Christian nationalists, white fragility, fascists, and the twice impeached convicted felon, former president and would be dictator Donald Trump. So the FBI is there to get me on three of those six counts? I guess so. I'd watch my back. I live in California, I'm safe. Yeah, you are safe. She's nuts, that woman. How do people vote for people like that?
Starting point is 02:50:48 I don't know. Keep them in office. They don't play this. Uh, no one watches television. I don't know. They don't listen to no agenda. Um, so, uh, this happened in, uh, was it Sweden? I think it was Sweden.
Starting point is 02:51:03 Uh, the suicide pod went into effect for the first time. And it turns out it was Switzerland. Was it Switzerland? I think it was Sweden. The suicide pod went into effect for the first time and it turns out it wasn't... No, Switzerland. Was it Switzerland? Yeah. Turns out it wasn't legal. They thought that this was a legal thing and I have two clips about this. Well, somebody used it. I'm sorry? I said somebody used it. Yes.
Starting point is 02:51:19 A criminal investigation is underway tonight after the first known death of an American woman in a so-called suicide pod in Switzerland. The woman is described as a 64-year-old from the Midwest who had an autoimmune condition. Police say she died in a forest near the German border where the capsule called the Sarcopod was placed. Sarcopod! It's the first time it's ever been used and it allows a person to release nitrogen gas into the chamber at the touch of a button. That removes all the oxygen and it causes the person to fall asleep and then suffocate. Assisted dying is legal in Switzerland but only without external assistance. Multiple arrests have been made in this case for incitement and the aiding and abetting of suicide. The inventor
Starting point is 02:52:03 of the capsule is Australian physician Philip Nitschke, a known advocate of the Right to Die movement. There are some people who don't approve of the idea of assisted suicide at all. They would never approve of it. They're not my beliefs and they're not the beliefs of many people who decide they want to control their deaths. David, the capsule has now been seized by police. Anyone found guilty of these charges could face up to five years in prison. No, it's kind of interesting. First of all, it's a 3D printed deal. Looks a bit like the thing that you put your skis in on top of your roof. It kind of also looks like some sort of a pod you find in a science fiction movie.
Starting point is 02:52:43 Yeah, and so I had a whole other slew clips. So I'll just play this first one from Palki Swarma over there. She no longer with WION. She was first post. I think this is the clip that contains the thing that I thought, wow. Technology can both amaze and horrify us. Our next story tonight is more about the latter, the horrific part. Courtesy a new product on the market. A suicide pod. It is exactly what it sounds like. A pod meant to assist suicides. It is a futuristic looking contraption. Once a person climbs into it, nitrogen gas will be released, oxygen will be eliminated and within minutes the person will die, all at the cost of just $20. Twenty bucks! Twenty bucks! By the way, I think Apple should make these for the California market. It looks like an Apple product. It does. It has a nice look. And they called,
Starting point is 02:53:42 they took the podcasting thing, so it'd be Sarcopod. Now from Apple. You can pre-order your Sarcopod. I think it would go over well in California. Maybe you can become a distributor. Not interested. No, please. Um, let's see, did we miss anything? Well, you're on the topic of these suicide things.
Starting point is 02:54:06 There was a lot of buzz on Democracy Now and even NTD about, I didn't make a clip, but all these executions of various people around the country, all of a sudden. Executions? Yeah, they're executing people that have been on death row since the 90s. Oh, wow. They need prison space? And they discussed the fact that one of the reasons for the delay on all these executions is the, although one state does use nitrogen, the rest of the states use lethal injection
Starting point is 02:54:36 and they couldn't get the chemicals because the chemical companies wouldn't get the capsules. Get the sarcopod. How about fentanyl? Go out with a bang. Just go out to the San Francisco and walk down the street and pick up some fentanyl and then give that to the guy. I mean it's like what's the lethal injection gonna do that fentanyl won't do? Well you know I did see some of this conversation and I saw people talking about the sarcopod in this regard.
Starting point is 02:55:05 Why not just use that? Why do you? Well, I suggested that in the newsletter a couple of weeks ago. Oh, that's where I saw it. Yeah. That's where you got it. Yeah. So why not? Why are we still using these antiquated ways of killing people? Which of course, if you're going to kill babies, I think you should also be able to kill people in prison. You just need to put it on television. That's always been my thing. Well, the Sarko pod's not very dramatic. I think the old sparky, some of these electric chairs,
Starting point is 02:55:34 that on television would be something you'd want to see. Just give us the rights, that's all we care about. Final thing I have is, Cheryl Atkinson sat down with Trump for a long interview. You might have seen some clips around. I have not. Well, the one I pulled is the one thing that isn't discussed very much, which is, I think still should still be an issue with voters. And that is about the COVID vaccines.
Starting point is 02:56:09 And Trump's view of them and Cheryl Atkinson, she went there. On COVID, you frequently say at your rallies and so on that you don't feel like you get enough credit on COVID. But by nearly every assessment, the CDC failed miserably at job one. And yes, the COVID vaccines were developed in record time but as we now know they don't prevent infection illness or transmission and they have very potentially serious side effects do you think that maybe they were approved too fast and in hindsight based on what we know now what would you have done differently well i think they're doing studies on the vaccines and we're going to find out and it'll come out one way or the other. But I really had a mandate to get vaccines done and I got them done very quickly in record time. The Democrats love it.
Starting point is 02:56:52 You know, the Democrats love it and the Republicans don't. It's very interesting. The vaccines, they love it. I have a friend of mine who said to me, why don't you talk about the vaccine? What you did with the vaccine? He's a Democrat, but I'm sure he voted for me. He said, what you did was the most incredible thing that any president has ever done. You've saved hundreds of millions of lives all over the world. And this was just recently, very smart guy. He said, I don't understand why you don't talk about it. And I don't talk about it. I said, I don't understand why you don't talk about it. And I don't talk about it.
Starting point is 02:57:24 But if you go to Pfizer, if you go to some of these companies, they have charts and they have all sorts of statistics. And I say, why don't you release those statistics? Let people know. But I don't talk about it. I can say this. The Democrats would love to claim it. The Republicans don't want to claim it. But it'll be determined, I'd say, over the next 12 months.
Starting point is 02:57:47 I say this in terms of overall, I think I did an amazing job with COVID. I never got the credit for it. Remember that more people died under Biden-Harris than died under Trump. And they had a much easier time, because when it came in here, nobody knew what it was. It came from the Wuhan labs, which I always said, but nobody really knew what it was,
Starting point is 02:58:11 where it came from. Nothing. They knew nothing. This is where Trump really blows it every single time with this old, tired story about his Democrat friend. You know, he has the right parts of the story that he should be telling, which is the Democrats love it, the Republicans hate it. That's funny.
Starting point is 02:58:31 That's good. And then he says, hey, you know, we'll find out. We're going to, why don't, Pfizer, why don't you release the documents? And then he always has to go into, but I did a great job. It uses the mandate word. I had a mandate. All wrong. All wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:58:47 It's unbelievable. Yeah, that's his Achilles heel. He can't admit to making a mistake. It's so unfortunate. I find that personally, I was a problem, man. You got to be able to admit to it. So you're going to vote Harris. All the way. No, I'm the guy with this, is the guy with the boot on his head still running?
Starting point is 02:59:14 That's my guy with the, with the free pony. That's my guy. That's my guy. Um, one of the trolls had a very good suggestion. He said, uh, we could save Tupperware if they got into the Sarcopod business. Yeah. And then you just pop the thing to push it down, get a little vacuum seal and boom, you're dead.
Starting point is 02:59:34 Good to go. I'm sorry. I was going to play a clip to play that out. You ruined my vibe. No, you hit the number. You actually did fine, but you missed my cue. And that was latency. That's latency.
Starting point is 02:59:49 Yeah, I'm back for your cue. We'll pretend it never happened. I'll edit it all out, all of it. You always do. Yes. In fact, people don't have any idea how much stuff you edit out. Oh, it's so much. We spend so much time micromanaging the edits.
Starting point is 03:00:03 I just wanted to play the transgender lesbian dude threatening people as a way to go into the donation segment. It's a talk clip. I am a 40-year-old transgender lesbian. I dare you to try and stop me from going into a women's bathroom. This is a call to action. You need to arm up, plain and simple. The time to act is now. I do not fear Christians I do not fear conservatives. I do not fear evangelicals and I do not fear Republicans. You're gonna know what fear Actually feels like there are lots of people like me who are not afraid to die. You've been warned Oh my goodness. This is no way to go out
Starting point is 03:00:42 This is a threatening transgender dude. This is no good to go out. This is a threatening transgender dude. This is no good. Transgender lesbian no less. What does that think you? Transgender lesbian, yeah. You know, he's not afraid. Okay, I made a mistake. Yes.
Starting point is 03:00:53 I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fabulous. Bummer. Yeah, on No Agenda. In the morning. Well, on that happy note, who's he's not afraid to die, but it's gender, in the morning Well on that happy note, he's not afraid to die, but it's all in the timing everybody.

President Vladimir Putin has warned the West that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it was struck with conventional missiles. The Russian leader presented changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine at a meeting of the country's Security Council. Putin said a nuclear power supporting an attack on Russia would now be considered a joint aggressor.
Starting point is 03:15:29 The change in doctrine comes after Putin's warnings to the U.S. and other NATO allies that allowing Ukraine to use Western long-range weapons to hit Russian territory would mean that Russia and NATO are at war. The good news is, Putin's war has failed. It is at its core aim. He said I'd destroy Ukraine is. That is core aim. He set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine is still free. He set out to weaken NATO, but NATO is bigger, stronger, more united than ever before. If you're blue and you don't know where the fake news, Why don't you get your Gitmo fix? Putin on the Ritz.
