Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm here in my personal capacity so... ... Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's Thursday, October 3rd, 2024 This is your award winning Cuba Nation Media assassination episode 1700 This is No Agenda Celebrating like Commodores
Starting point is 00:00:18 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 understand they're bulldozing the living and the dead in North Carolina to get to the lithium. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
Starting point is 00:00:36 In the morning. Well, before we get into that, may I congratulate you sir, on 1,700 episodes of the best podcast in the universe. Before we get into that may I congratulate you sir on? 1700 episodes of the best podcast in the universe And may I may I congratulate all the producers who've contributed to this program over almost 17 years It has been and may I congratulate you sir. Yes, please sir do so I feel like I need it hey who ever thought I remember after episode 100 yeah when are you quit yeah
Starting point is 00:01:15 it's a good run that was a great run we did a hundred shows let's quit let's quit we're good to go what What happened? I don't know. We just kept on chugging, kept on going on, going on, going on. Well, it's a public service. That's why. And you have a public service mentality. Well, then there's a good point.
Starting point is 00:01:38 We do it. We do do it as a public service. I think it's a public service in many ways. Calms people down. Yeah, it's a public service in many ways. It calms people down. Yeah, it helps a lot. It keeps them from doing rash things or thinking weirdly, oddly. Yes, it keeps families together. Not always, but...
Starting point is 00:01:55 Well, or not. Or it breaks the families up that really deserved it. Yeah, probably. Yeah, sooner than later. Yeah, you'll test your relationships with this show, that's for sure. Well, yeah, if your relationship involves one of the two people being something of a knee-jerk lunatic. And I feel super blessed today because not only is it episode 1700, which we all share,
Starting point is 00:02:29 we all share in this because without the producers, we would be nowhere. I received two People's Choice Awards. Yeah. The 19th- I thought there was a, wait, from the, wait, let me guess. Two People's Choice Awards from- Oh, don't get too- I assume it's from two different organizations. No, it's from the same organization.
Starting point is 00:02:56 It's the 19th Annual People's Choice Podcast Awards, which, is the, as far as I'm concerned, the original podcast awards that Todd Cochran does from Blueberry. And, uh, when something from him some time ago, uh, oh, a hall of fame, like 10 years ago, I was inducted into the, into the first hall of fame for best producer. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:29 No, this is, I receive both the listener and podcaster, influencer of the year award. I'm sorry. The influences are determined by the total number of write-ins by listeners and podcasters. That's 800 podcasters and 5.1 million listeners who participated. So 5.1 million people voted for you because you're influential? Well they voted, I don't know if all 5.1, but a majority did, I guess, or more than the others. I think it's as an influencing-
Starting point is 00:04:08 Who came in second? There's no second place. There's no second place. Oh, there's no winning. No, there's no winning. It's just holding hands and telling a secret. So, yes. Well, congratulations on this.
Starting point is 00:04:23 You get a big trophy, a big giant. If I send Todd $75 for each trophy, I get a trophy. This is like the who's who book. Well, you used to get a trophy, but then, you know, budget slash podcasting isn't what it used to be. You know, there's no more big sponsors like, oh yeah, I'll, I'll, but there's also so many award shows who can keep track. Anyway, yes, it is a sad day or a sad week for the American government.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And I will say it for several reasons, but first, when your people don't trust you, conspiracy theories run rampant. Bless you. And it really is sad because the people have so little distrust, so little trust in the American government, in the federal government for sure, that they will just get sucked into any conspiracy theory. And this one was going rampant from people there, from people who I know. It's all, and I think there is-
Starting point is 00:05:31 I told the guy who told the guy who told the guy. Yeah, I was there when it happened. Now there is, so, okay, do you want, you don't have a clip of it, do you? You didn't actually clip that nonsense, I'm sure. What, people being bulldozed, living and dead? Well, the bulldozing might actually be happening. I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I haven't seen any evidence of it. But the... They can't even get cars in there. How are they going to get a bulldozer in? The big conspiracy theory meme that was going around is that this was HAARP, this was weather modification to flood the entire area where the lithium is to declare eminent domain and take it. Now there's a couple things with this.
Starting point is 00:06:17 They were also going to take the quartz, don't forget that. Well, there is something to be said for the quartz mines. The quartz mines are The quartz mines are, they are important quartz mines. But when it comes to eminent domain, people should look up how eminent domain works. Let's stop, before you continue with the quartz mine thing, because I got some notes from different... Well, let's stay with the living.
Starting point is 00:06:41 But I got to correct you about the importance of these quartz mines. Okay. I called up a chip company. Oh, thank you. Waiver operation. Let's stay with the living. But I got to correct you about the importance of these quartz mines. I called up a chip company. Oh, thank you. There you go. A wafer operation. There you go. And talked to one of the directors and he says that he never even heard of this place.
Starting point is 00:06:55 He says that if you... Really? This operate... There's quartz all over the world, but it's silica that they want for the chips. The quartz make... They use the quartz to make crucibles and other things. It's not like it's part of the necessarily an aspect, the quartz as a chip. The foundation, a big giant wafer, which is a grown silicon crystal they call, they used
Starting point is 00:07:18 to be called crystals, now they're called ingots. They're not made from quartz. Well, what is the quartz used for? It's used for making all kinds of stuff. Quartz is a valuable product. I have a quartz beaker. Well, but hold on a second. Just stick with, because the headlines are, and this is important, and I'm glad you called someone up, that, okay, I even have a Wired article from 2018. That's the key to the whole thing. Wired. The wired article in fact somebody sent me the wired article I won't say who it is. It's a mutual friend. Well let me just read the
Starting point is 00:07:56 the sub graph or the important graph whatever you guys call it. The nut. The nut. Let me read read the nut Let me fist this nut for you the processor that makes your laptop or cell phone work was fabricated Using quartz from this obscure appellation backwater Okay, debunk This bullcrap, okay Why is it bull? It's just the courts places. They're all over the world, these courts operations. But apparently this is the cleanest courts ever.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Oh, bullcrap. Who cares? This stuff is refined anyway. It's like a salt mine. Oh, this salt has got less contaminants than the other salt. I read that article. The article is exaggerating everything. And it's written by, as far as I'm concerned, like some of these Atlantic writers, just a new Nick character,
Starting point is 00:08:53 exaggerating the situation. It's an exaggeration. All right. Well, good. I mean, it- I know, it was dramatized. The guy comes into the restaurant, he's got powder, it's the finest cocaine. I'm hoping nobody busts us because's got powder. It's the finest cocaine. I'm hoping nobody busts us because I got this fine. Look at this. This comes from this one place. Nobody else has. Oh my God. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is unbelievable. And then it got caught up as everyone. Oh, right. Right. Magic Quartz mine in North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Okay. And it's like the lithium's the same way. Lithium, the main lithium deposit is the United States. Just look it up. It's Nevada. Nevada. Yeah, Nevada. Well, so... And in the world, Bolivia.
Starting point is 00:09:37 We're fourth place. Bolivia's got the most. They better send some harp over to Bolivia then to capture that lithium. Yeah. I mean, this whole exaggeration about what's going on in North Carolina and then throwing this quartz based on that Wired article and lithium, oh the lithium, this is going to be the key, we got to steal it. What is the government going to do with it? And then the whole, I love how they just throw out eminent domain, which I hear a lot. Oh, eminent domain.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Eminent domain must be used in the public interest. It's very difficult. Although there was a court case where they actually tried it not too long ago. They tried to say, well, we're going to sell it to this public company or to this private company because it would benefit the economics in the region. Now, let's just go to the last time we heard eminent domain. Do you remember that? It wasn't that long ago.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It was the Maui fire. Same thing. They used sapphire blue beam laser. Everything that was blue didn't fry. All the elites houses, they're going to take our land and under eminent domain. So the county did actually propose eminent domain over a swath of land where they dumped all of the fire debris. And the federal judge even knocked that down. So there was no eminent domain. What will happen, I'm quite sure, is people will look at what they can get from
Starting point is 00:11:16 these bogative insurance companies, which it may even be the insurance companies launching this nonsense because you're not going to get the value for your home. And then the prospectors come in and they say, well, how about I buy this from you for more than you get from your insurance company? And what are you going to do? Yeah, I would- Well, you sell it to the speculators. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I would think that the insurance companies are launching this nonsense. I never considered that, but that's a distinct possibility. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, it is very sad. There's a, we have a lot of producers, particularly in the Asheville area, in Northwest Tennessee. There's this, this blew my mind. We were just talking about OP Way, the handmade leather sneaker company who wanted to make a no agenda sneaker.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah. Entire factory wiped away. Well, that's terrible. Yes. And Justin, and he had just sent us this note saying how proud he was that, you know, they weren't loser millennials and they had been listening to the show while building this this company and they
Starting point is 00:12:27 put all their money into the factory and it's completely wiped away and the pictures are just disheartening heartbreaking yeah it's a mess yeah happy the government has done a piss poor job we can agree on that well there's a couple of things about that yes the government has done a piss poor job we can agree on that. Well there's a couple of things about that. Yes the government has done pretty much nothing but what I'm hearing is that there are Chinook 60s and 47s that have not been able to take off and do anything which is a National Guard, because Title X has not been enacted. And what I'm hearing is that the state is saying, no, we don't want federal help under Title X because we don't want to become the mess that Katrina was, which is interesting. I have no corroboration, but I also have nothing.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I have no governor talking. I have no mayor talking. Have you seen any of these local officials do any kind of new news conference? If I, I mean, it's not like they might not be doing them, but we just haven't seen it. Well, I have looked and I haven't been able to find anything. Um, but I hear it's all, we want to send some choppers over the stand down order.
Starting point is 00:13:43 We went and stand down orders. That's, that's, it's, there is something going on. And by the way, when they say this, I've seen a lot of these videos, TikToks filled with them. Who's, who's giving the stand down order? They. Yeah. It's always they.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah. What, what this does show, and I love this part about this disaster, is the American people, when it comes down to it, will help each other. They don't sit around and wait for the government. And for the first time in my life as a ham radio operator, the hams actually are doing a good job. I mean, I've been listening on the repeater and they're doing everything from locating people to finding, hey, I need a hundred foot of coordinated pipe.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's what hands are for. Yeah, but I've never heard them actually do it. And the emergency network, it was good and it's ongoing. They're handing off and they were doing 24 hour emergency net. That was quite spectacular. I love the people were calling up Lincoln airport and donating, basically buying gas for airplanes and helicopters, private helicopters that would just fly and stuff around.
Starting point is 00:14:55 People were using drones to fly insulin out to people who were stuck. That's America. We don't care who you are, what your political beliefs are. When it comes down to it, the Americans help each other. I love that part. And now I just have to understand how did this happen? Telling me that 40 trillion gallons of rain fell?
Starting point is 00:15:19 Huh? Did a dam, a dam must have broken. Something must have happened to create this flood. Besides climate change, of course. What happened? You're asking me. I'm not a meteorologist. No.
Starting point is 00:15:38 A lot of rain. All we're getting is climate change nonsense. Well, that doesn't help. No, it doesn't. I have a 47- second update from NBC. Former President Trump arriving in Georgia with the Christian humanitarian relief organization Samaritan's Purse trying to make a political issue out of the federal government's response. They're not being responsive.
Starting point is 00:15:59 The federal government is not being responsive. The former president falsely claiming President Biden had refused to get on the phone with elected officials like Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp. Both the White House and Kemp say the two leaders spoke the night before. He just said, hey, what do you need? He offered that if there's other things we need just to call him directly, which I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:16:21 A furious President Biden says Trump is making things up. He's lying. And the governor told him he was lying. I don't care about what he says about me. I care what he communicates to the people that are in need. Yeah, I'm glad we politicized it. Now that's great. That's fantastic. Good job, everybody.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Good job. It's what you do. Yeah. Now, and then we had the magic number popping up everywhere. The death toll across several states now stands at more than 130 according to the Associated Press in the wake of Hurricane Helene and that is expected to rise as hundreds of people in hard-hit western North Carolina are listed as missing. Search and rescue efforts continue as authorities try to reach towns left
Starting point is 00:17:02 inaccessible by washed out roads especially in the Asheville area. Vice President Kamala Harris says FEMA is working hard. So far, more than 3,300 federal personnel are on the ground to assist with recovery efforts. They are deploying food, water and generators. And we continue to work with teams on the ground to restore water and power as quickly as possible. President Biden is expected to visit the area tomorrow and he will get an aerial tour of Asheville. Former President Donald Trump visited Helene's impact on Valdosta, Georgia yesterday. I was scouring through the completely insecure, no agenda telegram groups. I was a little disappointed.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I mean, we've had meetups in the area. I thought at least some people would be on the telegram groups communicating or seeing if they could help anybody. And all that I really saw was, you know, the lithium. Lithium. Yeah. So that was, that was a little disappointing. By the way, you mentioned, what was the tonnage of rain that you mentioned 40 trillion according to?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Well, New York one all right that comes from AP Forty true. I mean how many trillion was dumped on could during Katrina. I have no idea. Yeah, there you go There's nothing to compare that to no But you know the levees broke. I mean, I don't know. It just, it feels to me like something else happened here. And I know that some dams were in danger of breaking. I'm not sure if any, we just, we basically have no information. None. As usual. No information.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Other than it's a tragedy. It's an absolute tragedy. France 24, of course, good little servants that they are, they took it to the political realm and why not? Fraser, Joe Biden then visiting some of the worst hit areas, this hurricane, government agencies had of course been tracking it, giving warnings about its strength, but the very future of those agencies and the work that they do, they could be under threat by a potential Trump presidency. Tell us more about that.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Yeah, this is all revolving around something called Project 2025, which is a blueprint for a future republic. Can you believe this? Can you believe they did this? Oh no, you think it's bad? Yes, that's it. It's the Heritage Foundation that's responsible. ...president he put forward by a conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation. Trump says that he doesn't have anything to do with this project 2025.
Starting point is 00:19:42 He doesn't. He said a lot of the people who are the architects of this mandate are former Trump officials. So a lot of the Democrats in the United States are saying that this is what Donald Trump would be using if he were to get reelected. Under it, it calls for a host of different things, but some of the federal agencies that this mandate would dismantle or at least massively restructure, include FEMA who are overseeing the disaster relief in the wake of this hurricane,
Starting point is 00:20:08 and also NOAA as well, which is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Now, NOAA has a lot under its mandate, including weather forecasting, but also climate monitoring, as well as coastal restoration and fisheries and more. Its mandate affects about a third of the American GDP. So it is a significant mandate that it has.
Starting point is 00:20:30 And two of the organizations which fall under it include the National Weather Service and the National Hurricane Center, which of course both were pivotal in tracking Hurricane Helene. Yeah, blah, blah. They went on for another minute with this. Oh, duh.
Starting point is 00:20:44 It's ridiculous. Oh, we won't minute with this. Oh, it's ridiculous. Oh, we won't have weather reports. Weather reports will be gone. They're going to shut it all down because of Project 2025. They were tracking it. You know, if anything, they did a horrible job because they underplayed the danger of this. It was like, ah, it should be 85 mile an hour, you know, 35 gusting 85. I watched the Fox Weather Channel more than I should. And I have to say that's exactly true. And remember I told you...
Starting point is 00:21:12 Considering what we see now, especially the bulldozing, the living and the dead, they underplayed it to an extreme. It was like, well, it's going to be gusts of 90. And if you remember, I said before this thing hit, I said, I'm getting a lot of notices from people saying they find the reporting very odd, very off kilter, doesn't sound right. And people were saying that before it hit. And there you go. If they had said, hey, it could be 40 trillion, somehow they know it's 40 trillion gallons. I don't know how they measure it, but.
Starting point is 00:21:48 I don't know how you do that either. But now it's like, oh, it's 40 trillion. It's obviously a computer model. Yeah. There you go. And it's all climate change. And probably developed by AI. Yes. With cloud seeding and a Sapphire blue laser. I love the Sapphire blue laser story. That is actually my favorite. What I liked, I was watching some C-SPAM and people were mad. They were mad at the media
Starting point is 00:22:17 because the media could not resist. This is a national tragedy in multiple states. This is a national tragedy in multiple states, Americans, you know, and oh man, which is, oh, we got new evidence about Trump. We got this, we got that. Oh, we got a debate. People were mad. Here from Ned in Georgia, independent line. Yes, sir. I'm calling from Haightville, Georgia. You mentioned Chick-fil-A earlier. That's where Chick-fil-A was invented. Truett Cassidy used to flip hamburgers for me and my dad. But I called to tell you that if there's anything important in this modern world, sir, it's C-SPAN. You provide the general population three hours every day with an opportunity to call in and
Starting point is 00:23:01 say something important. I want to get off the line quickly because I'm hoping one day somebody will call in and say something important. I want to get off the line quickly because I'm hoping one day somebody will call in and say, gee, I wonder how Julian Assange is doing today, or how is Jamal Khashoggi's fiance doing today. We've all hear 20 times a day, how Greta or whoever, what did it tell me? I love my chiefs, man,
Starting point is 00:23:23 but I don't want to hear people talking about the weather in Mexico and how well their dog can blow a truck horn. I want to hear something important. Did you hear what Willie said about that Palestinian issue? Do you all, do you want to hear more talk like that? You want people asking each other how they're doing today. May I go now, please? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And then we got this caller. Let's hear from David. David in Democrats Line, North Carolina. Good morning. Good morning. You're on. Go ahead. This is open for them. I'm looking at you.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I'm looking at you all now. And they ain't talking a bit about North Line, that people are dead in North Line, and the mountain area is booed. This just went on. But every single station was, oh, and we got a little update. A little update over here.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Oh, it's bad. Oh, there's a house washing away. They're so removed from it. Really, it's just, whew. Media is no good, and the government, you can't trust the government, you can't trust your local government and you never should. You never should. What was the idea?
Starting point is 00:24:29 What do you mean? The idea was never to trust the government. That's why the Constitution was written. Thank you. It was all, it was, the whole thing was written as what the government can't do. Yes. Amen to that. And what the government can't do is stock the shelves.
Starting point is 00:24:54 We said that this was the real news of the day. It was, of course, before the Hurricane Helene struck. But we've got that strike going on now. I have a clip. Okay, what you got? ILU strike. The big port strike enters day two with no sign of progress in negotiations. We take a deeper look at how the strike could affect you.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Okay. ILI Union! ILI Union! ILA Union! Thousands of dock workers enter day two of their massive strike. Downside Union! Shutting down 14 major US ports. Unity Union! Leaving many at a standstill.
Starting point is 00:25:40 It starts to last longer than one week. We're going to start to see serious, I would say quite serious problems in supply chain. Maritime business professor Jean-Paul Rodry says consumers may not notice anything in the first week, but things will get more expensive and scarcer very quickly. Harold Daggett, president of the International Longshoremen's Association, has indicated that union workers are willing to strike for a very long time. In today's world, I'll cripple you. I will cripple you. The effects of the strike reaching even the president.
Starting point is 00:26:13 We're hearing from the folks recently that they're having trouble getting the product they need because of the port strike. Look, they just sit down and talk. Because I remember we negotiated a similar strike in the West Coast before. And they worked it out. It's time, they won't even talk, so let's get that done. Major imports that will be disrupted, retail goods, lumber, electronics, furniture and food. Or 98% of all the coffee coming in this country comes in containers. Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!
Starting point is 00:26:43 Also tropical fruits, everything which is cold chain related is going to quickly be disrupted. And consumers at a grocery store, on the store shelves or even buying stuff online, I'm going to start to notice. Yes, so that bit of him, I will cripple you, we played on the last show. I have an update here when Harold Daggett, he is the president of the ILA, of the union, was on the picket line and he laid out a bit more about his demands and how angry everybody really is.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American? The farmers that need to reach the export market. Listen, now you start to realize who the longshoremen are, right? People never gave a s shit about us until now, when they finally realized that the chain is being broke now. Cars won't come in, food won't come in, clothing won't come in. You know how many people depend on our jobs?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Half the world, and it's time for them, and time for Washington, to put so much pressure on them to take care of us, because we took time for them, time for Washington, to put so much pressure on them to take care of us, because we took care of them, and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today, and they don't want to share. We're not going anywhere. Just one question. What will it take to get you back into negotiations?
Starting point is 00:28:02 What do you want to hear? Oh, here, you want to hear it? Five hours across the board for six years. All our container- I want all my container royalty 50-50 split. It all comes back to the island where it used to be. What was the other one I had? Absolutely no one of automation.
Starting point is 00:28:17 And automation, stronger language. To get me back to the table. If I don't get that, I'm not coming back to the table. And if we have to be out here a month or two months, this world will collapse. Don't blame me. Don't blame me. Blame them. Before we get to the collapse part, we have, we have, of course, the best producers in the universe on all sides of this. One of our truck drivers, Boots on the Ground, who gets containers out of the
Starting point is 00:28:44 ports in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, he says, the one thing that wasn't mentioned, I hadn't heard the union was asking for the same pay between ports. Apparently, the New York port workers get paid a lot more than the Delaware port workers. But the big thing he says is automation. And this is really the issue. The West Coast, I think a lot of it is already automated and he says as to automation I can understand
Starting point is 00:29:10 they're not wanting it but when I as a truck driver get into a port to pick up a container get told I don't know where it is and I got to drive around and find it for myself they definitely need to do something better. We need a better system and I think what what they're saying here, you've got to pay us off if you want to bring in automation and that's inevitable. And of course it's built as AI. Now, it's just automation, which will be safer. And there's a lot of, you know, China has all every-
Starting point is 00:29:39 China's almost fully automated. Yeah. And yeah, I mean, that is one of those horse and buggy jobs that will have to go away. And automation is not some mythical AI, it's just automation, it's robotics, which I think we need. And we even heard a lot about it with during COVID,
Starting point is 00:29:56 that truck drivers couldn't find what they were looking for. It's very, very difficult. Now the thing that, now of course, there's a lot of impact that everyone has thoughts on. Here's the CBC with their report and then I have another boots on the ground. This strike will at least delay delivery of everything from car parts to alcohol, furniture
Starting point is 00:30:15 to cotton and wood. Yeah, we have containers that are at sea. That's Anthony Formusa, president of National Produce Marketing in Toronto. He's scrambling to get containers carrying mangoes from Brazil and pineapples from Costa Rica to a port so they can offload before that produce goes bad. The value of those containers is going to be, I'll tell you, if you're looking at about $30,000 to $40,000 US per container. He says a day or two is manageable, but after that, those mangoes and pineapples will start
Starting point is 00:30:47 to rot. Pascal Chan from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce says the potential hit to businesses gets big fast. That daily trade value is estimated in excess of $2.1 billion U.S. dollars. And then given the amount of trade goods and services that flow across the country, it's $3.6 billion dollars across the border every day. Shipping companies have known this strike was a possibility, so they've been rerouting
Starting point is 00:31:11 containers for months. Ports unaffected by the labor action have seen record levels of cargo since August, so there won't be immediate shortages. But even if both sides reach a deal, Danny Munch, an economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation, says it could take months to sort through the backlog. A two to three day strike will take two weeks to clear. A one week strike will bring us into November and then two week strike will bring us into early next year before those containers and ships will be processed. The Biden administration has been under pressure to intervene, but for now will only say collective
Starting point is 00:31:44 bargaining is the best way for workers to get the pay and benefits they deserve. So let's stick with the shipping part. So again, from the trucking industry, they have a podcast, believe it or not, and they have an update on inventory. So stuff that is already on shore that needs to be shipped into To destinations within the United States It is day two of the International Longshoremen's Association Union strike at East and Gulf Coast ports the repercussions are rippling into industries across the country and one of those is Trucking and joining us now is Chris Speer CEO and president of American Trucking Associations Chris It is good to see you. So let's dig right into the strike, Chris.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I'm curious, you know, the impact, the ripple effects you're seeing in your industry, the trucking industry. Well, Josh, we're not even two days into this strike and we're already seeing 62 container ships scrambled that were inbound at East and Gulf Coast ports, carrying nearly 500,000 containers. My industry moves, as an example, 12,000 of
Starting point is 00:32:47 those boxes a day at New York, New Jersey. We're already tracking multiple ports and seeing the activity diminish in Savannah and Houston. 100% shutdown in activity for trucks. If you go a little further out in Savannah, you're seeing truck activity and warehousing down 60% as those supplies and inventories begin to deplete. In Houston, 20%, but obviously more warehousing there than in Savannah. So we're seeing the activity really quickly unfold and probably by through this weekend, if this strike continues, those inventories will be gone. So we heard that shipping companies have been rerouting for many months in anticipation of this.
Starting point is 00:33:30 And one of our producers comes in anonymously who works for the largest railroad in the United States. He says, we compete against trucks and barge. If the commodity being shipped can move via barge, it almost always does it that way because it's cheaper. It's cheaper to float products down a river than use a locomotive truck to power them across the country. However, he says that the rivers have been at the lowest in a long time and they have
Starting point is 00:33:58 been shipping and moving products from the West Coast on 40 train cars, tallow, lumber, automotive parts, steel, etc. He says the longshoremen are way overplaying their hand on how much of an impact this will have. And again, he says the river levels have been lower and unpredictable. Railroads successfully made the case that shippers need to have optionality and should fold rail into the transportation plan and they have been ready for this. So it may not be as bad as everyone is saying. The thing that we're not talking about is the exports.
Starting point is 00:34:34 The exports could make it a very cold winter in Europe because LNG is not moving out. And if you recall, ever since the war in Ukraine there's no gas from Russia Nord Stream magically blowed up and we have been exporting most of the liquid natural gas to Europe so that's not going to get out also soybeans this is major stuff that we export. 34 billion a year, corn, wheat, cotton, oil, although oil will be okay. They can still, the reserves at the ports are pretty empty so they can fill up those vats from what I understand for quite a while. So it may not be as bad as everyone thinks it is.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Already though, it's impacting the meat business export. Clinton Griffiths with today's Ag Day Minute, a strike at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports will have an immediate impact on the movement of some ag products. That's because nearly half of US meat export volume is shipped out through those ports. Officials say the hit to the pork sector will be harder than the beef sector with nearly a third of US pork supplies being exported. Officials with the US Meat Export Federation say that for every week the strike goes on, a minimum of $100 million will be lost in revenue.
Starting point is 00:35:56 There you go. So the exports, that could be a real problem. I think that's a bigger problem maybe even than the imports. Well, the exports, especially on the East Coast are high. Not so much on the West Coast. But I'll say this, this is kind of interesting. If the meats are not being exported, they have to kind of push them into the domestic market which will lower grocery prices.
Starting point is 00:36:20 And it's almost as if because everyone says, well, there's going to be inflationary because everything's going to go up in price, not food. No. So food will come down at price. So meat prices should come down because they're going to have to flood the American market with beef and pork. Do you think that's why the Biden administration is not implementing Taft-Hartley because they know it will actually lower inflation? Which is exactly where I was headed with this. Thank you. Yeah. I think you're right. Because they're like, oh, we're not going to Taft-Hartley because they know it will actually lower inflation. Which is exactly where I was headed with this. Thank you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:46 I think you're right. Because they're like, oh, we're not going to Taft-Hartley them. Let them go. Buh, buh, buh, buh. And then they brought... Well, you have to... The problem is you have to have some pretty sharp, and I don't believe this is true.
Starting point is 00:36:59 You have to have some pretty sharp strategists in the Biden administration. You have the Donnellan brothers, those guys from BlackRock. They're not dumb. They're not dumb. No. So it's possible that the whole thing is strategized and it was even encouraged that the strike takes place
Starting point is 00:37:14 because that's going to divert the meat back into the domestic market, which should, it should drop the price of cuts of beef to next and the hamburger will cuts of beef to next, and the hamburger will be back down to, you know, less than a dollar a pound. So who knows? Bring back the dollar menu meal.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And we'll get back to cheap chicken. Cheap chicken is on the horizon. Producer from Walmart. So the rumor spreading at Walmart HQ in Bentonville today is there's about 24 hours before shortages start hitting Walmart due to the hurricane and shipping strike. The only thing about this rumor is that it's only being spread by Walmart corporate employees, in parentheses shareholders, has a very similar vibe to the early pandemic days before everything went nuts. A bunch of the execs had
Starting point is 00:38:00 COVID and kept it secret. Considering we are in the early stages of the Christmas shopping season and we're in election season, the strike seems a bit suspicious. Toilet paper. Oh yeah, have you seen what's happening at Costco? Toilet paper. Toilet paper, water, paper towels, everybody's going nuts. I'm going to Costco today and I'll report back. Personally, I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Well, I mean, I've seen the videos of the long, long lines. Oh, the videos, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But I think it'll be, I'm in agreement with our producers here. By the way, they are boots on the ground. What do I know?
Starting point is 00:38:34 I'm not a long shoreman. I'm a long podcaster man. Literally. Um, it may not be that bad. It may actually be, be somewhat advantageous. We'll have to see, cause the West Coast is open and they've been prepared for this and the trains are rolling. Lots of trains. I should mention this is I'm kind of boots on the ground in the fact that I have a train track that I can visually see from the hill. I don't see that much. I don't see an increase in movement.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Well, they're probably squeezing the East Coast because you guys are a-holes. Like, let's not send it to them. It just looks normal to me. So CMB- And I'm not seeing, you know, I mean, I understand in Southern California, because it's been posted lines of trucks go miles and miles waiting to get to Long Beach and the other, whatever ports are down there that take cargo containers. I'm looking at the freeway. I can see the freeway from here. I'm seeing normal amount of trucks carrying a container. I don't see anything. It's not ridiculous. It looks pretty standard. To me and I've been to the vegetable store recently, there's nothing different.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Peruvian avocados are still there. Ha ha ha. Gina Raimondo, the, yeah, exactly, our commerce secretary. But the hatchet-faced, horrible rat woman. Shit. Ha ha ha. Yeah, that's a good description. The hatchet-faced, horrible rat woman.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yes, our commerce secretary was on CNBC. And this is something that I've noticed that's been happening a lot in the mainstream media. And I know it's related to the Hatch Act. I think it's in this intro. Welcome back everybody. Joining us right now is Gina Raimondo. She is the current commerce secretary,
Starting point is 00:40:22 but she's joining us this morning in her personal capacity as a surrogate for the Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign and Commerce Secretary, thank you very much for being here this morning So I'm hearing this a lot. You'll see Pete Buttigieg like I'm just here in my personal capacity as a surrogate And that's bullcrap because you're still getting paid. Yes But this is new. I haven't seen this in the past because they're still getting paid. Yes. But this is new. I haven't seen this in the past where they're all out there. This is a legal disclaimer because of all the lawfare going on.
Starting point is 00:40:51 They have to do this so they can... No, I didn't know. No, I was on my own. I took the day off. I'm not really working for the American people here. I'm working for Kamala. I realize you're here as a surrogate for the vice president's campaign, but there's so much news of the day that I feel we have to ask you about.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Wanted to start. Oh, wait, wait, stop. Does this count as part of her job if she's answering questions? Well, let's see. Does the ticker start up? This is a good question. This is like a lawyer, you know, they say, well, this is a lawyer. The clock is on.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Here we go. I wanted to start with this potential strike at the ports that's expected to take place tonight at midnight. Obviously, this is the first time since the 1970s that you would see strikes all up and down not only the East Coast, but the Gulf ports. What would this mean for commerce in this country? What would this mean for businesses if we go into this strike? And what do you know about it?
Starting point is 00:41:47 Yeah, good morning. So as you said, I'm here in my personal capacity. I would say, look, it's not a secret that this would be, depending on how long it lasts, could be incredibly disruptive to commerce. As you well know, you know, that so much commerce. By the way, how much does he sound like Kamala? You know, it's the milieu. She's totally in the camp.
Starting point is 00:42:16 She's probably living at Kamala's house. Be incredibly disruptive to commerce. Yep. As you well know, you know, that so much commerce moves through the ports. And if it goes a few days, I think I'm sure companies probably have their plans set. But especially we're in peak season, getting ready for the Christmas season. If a strike were to drag on, I think it could be really very, very disruptive to commerce. So I do hope that the parties stay at the table and resolve it as quickly as possible,
Starting point is 00:42:54 hopefully averting a strike, but certainly keeping the length of the strike as short as possible. The knock-on effects through the supply chain become quite extensive. Okay, so for my money, first of all, she works for us, okay? We don't pay her to work for Kamala Harris. She works for us. She should be on CNBC in her capacity as Commerce Secretary and be answering these questions and not, as you'll hear in this next clip, dodging around because, oh, I don't want to get in trouble with the hatchet.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Work for us, lady, not for Kamala. Where are the issues most prominent? Where have you been kind of focused and hearing on what would happen if the strike goes, let's say, longer than a week? Again, I have not been very focused on that. I would refer you- Why not? To the White House or the transportation secretary.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I know the administration, the president himself has said that he is not going to push the two- Becky's doing a good job here. She's trying to get it out of her. ...together. He's urged them to talk. And I just wonder, have you heard from business leaders? You probably are the person in the administration who has business leaders in
Starting point is 00:44:09 your ear more than just about anybody else in terms of what this might mean for them? Come on answer the question. I'm smiling because again I want to stay in the bounds of the Hatch Act here so if you wanted to have me back as Commerce Secretary later in the week maybe we could talk about that. But as I said I haven't been particularly involved. So where are the priorities with this person? Her priority should be America and the American people and she should be on first as commerce secretary, then come back or say, okay, I'll be commerce secretary now and we don't talk
Starting point is 00:44:43 about Kamala and then we'll do the second I mean anything but this that was it was very disturbing to me then they all do it Pete Buttigieg is pathetic Pete Buttigieg goes on Kara Swisher's on podcast. I'm here my personal capacity. So I'm in the game. Douchebags douchebags and then this. Thank you Commerce Secretary. Why don't we talk about why you're here today?
Starting point is 00:45:06 And again, you are here in your personal capacity today to talk about what you see in the economy and as a surrogate of the Harris campaign. What do you see as the potential impact after the election on this front? I see huge, you were just asking me about disruption associated with storms and ports and I think that's what you'll see with President Trump. He is erratic. His plans on tariffs, I think, will be very, very negative for this economy. Not only will they raise prices on everything, he's talking about a tariff on all imports.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I mean, that's insane, right? That will raise prices of everything for everyone. It'll also hurt our manufacturing industry. People don't talk about this, but a lot of things made in America rely upon imports of components and such. It's gonna cost manufacturing jobs, It's gonna lose, you know, it's gonna cost manufacturing jobs, it's gonna raise prices on everything,
Starting point is 00:46:09 it could kick us into a trade war with certainly China, which we don't need. You know, every business leader I've ever spoken with, I used to be a governor, I used to run a business myself, you want predictability, right? You want somebody in the Oval Office who will engage with you, who will listen to you, who will be predictable, who will be smart and thoughtful. That's what you'll get in Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Okay. So she said a lot there about the tariffs and how horrible it's going to be. Trump was on, I am the pod father after all, was on the Dave Ramsey podcast. And he spoke about tariffs and President William McKinley. This is a rap I've not heard from him yet. The word tariff to me is a very beautiful word because it can save our country truly. And yet I think because of graft,
Starting point is 00:46:57 because of a lot of consulting payments and other things that given by other countries, we have so much fighting with politicians on using it. I saved our steel industries by putting tariffs on steel that China came in and dumped. And you know what they do? They dump and dump and dump. Everybody goes out of business and they buy those businesses very cheap and then they raise the prices to higher than they ever were.
Starting point is 00:47:22 That's one of the many benefits that they have if they want to do it. But by putting tariffs on, as an example, in the furniture business in North Carolina, it was so vibrant and they stole our business. And they charged us, if you wanted to build a furniture place, if you want to sell your furniture in China, they won't take it. But if you want to build a plant in China
Starting point is 00:47:44 to make furniture in China, they won't take it. But if you want to build a plant in China to make furniture in China using their labor, they open it, we're doing the same thing. But a lot of people, I said, oh, well, we don't want to have tariffs. The country was at the richest point in its history in the 1890s, it was all tariffs. If you looked at William McKinley as an example, he was a big tariff president.
Starting point is 00:48:05 They had committees that were put in charge of what to do with the money. We were taking in so much money. And McKinley would say, why should we let other people come in and steal our factories and steal our workers and steal our jobs? And why shouldn't we benefit?
Starting point is 00:48:22 And he tariffed other countries. And we made so much and then they went to the income tax system later on. But they would actually have, they had a blue ribbon committee, our country was so rich, they didn't know what to do with the money. And this blue ribbon committee was set up to determine how can we spend all of this money?
Starting point is 00:48:42 And they took it in through tariffs. But we can turn our country around, make it strong, and then guard it with tariffs. I had never heard of McKinley and his tariffs. And if you look at- They shot him. They shot him for it? Oh really?
Starting point is 00:49:00 Well, that's a day wrecker. Well, he wasn't the only tariff president. I mean Jefferson got himself into trouble doing the same thing much earlier on. But during McKinley, everything that I've been able to find, it worked. It, it, it, there was, I mean, we probably had actual manufacturing at the time. Yes, we had manufacturing, we were making stuff here. And the idea, Trump's idea is of course,
Starting point is 00:49:27 that the tariff isn't to charge so that everybody has to pay more for the stuff that's being imported. It's to make the American product more competitive Yeah. by having the other prices go up. But we need product, we do need products. But we don't make much. I mean, it's an idealistic approach at this point.
Starting point is 00:49:47 I think it's too little, too late to be honest about it, in my opinion. But that's just my opinion. Do you think, in your opinion, do you think the tariffs will just raise prices across the board? That's what they're saying. I don't know if they do. I mean, he's done them before and it hasn't raised prices across the board. What raises prices across the board is ridiculous unfettered spending, which caused the inflation that we have today and it had nothing to do with tariffs.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Oh, there's that. There's that. Are you sure he was shot? Yeah, he was assassinated in 1901. Huh. He had a lot with the Panama Canal. Oh man. Assassination. He did too much. He had a cool top hat though.
Starting point is 00:50:38 He had one of those top hats. He had a big belly, so he had one of those dusters down to his knees. Trump should try that look. Try a top hat. As long as you start looking like Taft. That was the fact. Taft was no good.
Starting point is 00:50:52 So amidst all of this port and the hurricane and, you know, and I'm, I'm sitting here looking at stuff, prepping yesterday and I'm listening to the hams, to the repeater, because it was just really interesting to hear how they were handling that. And then all of a sudden, breaking, breaking. The judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference trial here in Washington, DC released 165 page filing on Wednesday. Oh no, that's a lot.
Starting point is 00:51:20 That's a lot of pages, must be something going on. Basically outlines the prosecution's case against Donald Trump and includes some never seen before evidence that they have against the former president of the United States. This then part of the special counsel Jack Smith's case to try- By the way, there's a story I was avoiding, but since you brought it up. I had to. A hundred, evidence never seen before? What evidence was never seen before? you brought it up. I had to. Evidence never seen before. What evidence was never seen before?
Starting point is 00:51:47 This is a document. It's coming up. Did somebody bring you in the document? Was there evidence in there? Like a book or some paper? Fingerprints. I mean, what are they talking about? Evidence.
Starting point is 00:51:58 They had fingerprints. No, the evidence is at the end of this report. This is why I'm playing the report. And they went on for hours. Jake Tapper was live. Oh, I'm only at page seven. I'm already sweating. I've got a boner. It's crazy. This then part of the special counsel Jack Smith's case to try to Scotus proof this Supreme Court proof this ruling after the Supreme Court ruled in July that Donald Trump had immunity for acts that he undertook whilst in office.
Starting point is 00:52:25 The special counsel is arguing that the majority of these things do not fall under that and instead were carried out by somebody who was actively seeking office and not currently holding office. Those include the fact that Donald Trump was told that his claim about dead people voting in Georgia was false, but continued to push that narrative. This is nothing new. None of this is new so far.
Starting point is 00:52:50 But there is something new, Connor. Real evidence on the way. Also includes an anecdote about the former vice president, Mike Pence, trying to convince Donald Trump that he lost the election and instead trying to get him to run in 2024. And Trump allegedly said, I don't't know 2024 is so far off. Now the Trump campaign is saying that this is an unconstitutional witch hunt. They say that it is tantamount to election interference. The fact that it is happening this close to the election now about a month away.
Starting point is 00:53:18 But we're not really expecting any movement on this case before that election date. If anything it's unlikely to go ahead before the end of the year. And of course, the future of it depends on who gets into the White House after that election. If it's the Democrats, then this case will likely go ahead, although Donald Trump does have some recourse with the district courts and then the Supreme Court. But if Donald Trump wins and gets in, then his Department of Justice is likely to make this case go away altogether. So the whole 160 some pages, the evidence is that he was alone in his own private dining room tweeting and therefore it was really was he wasn't acting as the president. This is this is the saddest October surprise I've ever seen because that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Even Hillary Clinton like, oh, something's going to happen. We're getting October surprise. I don't believe this is the October surprise. This is too lame. These people are lame. I think there'll be something better than that.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Well, this is October. What's the date today? The third? Yes, we're just getting started. Well, I mean, look at what we already have. We have a hurricane. We have a port strike. we have Iran and Israel. And what is the president doing?
Starting point is 00:54:29 He's sending messages to us. No Agenda is the best podcast in the universe, hands down. My dad used to say, Joey, those No Agenda guys shoot from the shoulder. Here's to four more years. And John and Adam, I hope you never find that exit strategy. There you go. The guy's... Well, that's what he's got. At least that's a good use of his time.
Starting point is 00:54:50 The guy has nothing better to do than send messages to podcasters. What is he doing? I think we should talk about the debates. Uh, the singular debate. Yeah. The debate, the debate. Okay. And only because I have to, right off bat the first thing I heard I don't have a lot of clips from
Starting point is 00:55:11 the debate I have one because it just backs up a point that I want to make with PBS being slanted. I know. Yeah, surprise. What a surprise. I'm shocked. Shocked. Very shocked, I tell you. Is the, is, when Britt Hume said, the debate moderators were terrible. They were smug and arrogant. It's like he says, yes, they are both terrible. Why is Norah O'Donnell still working at CBS? There's been nothing but rumors for the last year that they're going to kick her
Starting point is 00:55:46 out of there. And yet there she is. And then you have Margaret Brennan, the Face the Nation woman, who is just, who I've mentioned this before. I saw her when she was being interviewed during COVID, when she was at home working and she's a Hillary Clinton clone. She wears the same stupid hair thing and she looks like Hillary without her makeup. It's just, it's just like ridiculous. Well, while we're on appearance, can I talk about wardrobes for a moment?
Starting point is 00:56:15 Take it. Well, OK. Just from a television production standpoint. They had Vance and Waltz's ties matching the moderator's dresses. So Waltz had a blue tie which is not all and it wasn't a very attractive blue tie and Nora was wearing her blue dress and then Vance was wearing an atrocious reddish pink tie and that's what Deborah was. What's her name? The pink lady?
Starting point is 00:56:50 That is, you said Deborah, that screwed me up. I can't remember her name now, but she's the face, the nation woman. Who made this up? Who said that was a good idea? I thought it was horrible. It was all ugly colors. I know, it's a big deal. But yeah, ugly colors. And then coordinating it across the stage.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Well, also there's the shoulder pads on... Yeah, well that's modern. That's supposedly the look now. It is? Yeah. That looks kind of... looks terrible. Yeah, it looks very 80s, I agree. So anyway, onward to the content now that we've dealt with the...
Starting point is 00:57:29 And the whole opening- With the superficial part of it. Well, and the whole opening had a very Jeopardy feel to it. You know, with the camera move up and they're standing behind those desks. I was hearing the tune. Do, do, do. I was hearing the tune in my head.
Starting point is 00:57:43 The whole thing was like, I mean, I found it rather tedious and boring. I couldn't watch it. Well, how'd you get clips then? I went back and forth. Oh, okay. All right. And most of my clips are analysis clips. I don't really have that many clips.
Starting point is 00:57:59 I have a couple of clips from it themselves, but we can do your analysis first. Well, I have one clip from it that I want to bring in as I do the PBS analysis. And then I have a clip that needs to be played to show PBS did a terrible job. Listen to this. I got three clips from PBS. Debate PBS Analysis One. Little more than a month to go, the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns are dialing in on key swing states. And for the first and only time, vice presidential candidates Senator J.D. Vance and Governor Tim Walz squared off on the debate stage. Lisa Desjardins has this report.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Oh, Lisa Desjardins with your big nose. In Georgia today, Vice President Kamala Harris arrived to survey the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. I'm here today to thank all of those who are working. What does this have to do with the debate? That's what I'm asking myself. This is a straight up clip right from the show. To get folks the support and the relief that they so desperately need and so rightly deserve. And particularly devastating in terms of the loss of life that this community
Starting point is 00:59:07 has experienced, the loss of normalcy, and the loss of critical resources. Okay, that had nothing to do with the debate. So they throw it to Lisa Desjardins, as you put it, and she talks about Kamala. What does that got to do with anything? They started on, this is a debate, a series of, okay, well, let's throw a little promotion in there for Kamala. Let's go to part two. Meanwhile, fresh off last night's CBS vice presidential debate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz kicked off a Pennsylvania bus tour. What? From the first day of the process. Are they avoiding the entire debate altogether? They're just promoting them? Yeah, first we had Kamala promotion, now we have a bus tour from Tim.
Starting point is 00:59:53 This is great, Timmy's bus tour. To right now as vice president, Kamala Harris has only one client, the people. The people. And Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, rallied crowds in Michigan. We already ran this experiment once. Donald Trump's economic policies worked for American families. They worked for American consumers. Governor, Senator, thank you for joining us. In the vice presidential debate last night, Vance came out focused on Harris. Governor Walz, you blame Donald Trump. Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years?
Starting point is 01:00:27 And the answer is your running mate, not mine. Well, Governor Walz had a shakier start. He was asked about the Middle East and whether Israel should preemptively strike at Iran. Iran, Israel's ability to be able to defend itself is absolutely fundamental. Getting its hostages back, fundamental, and ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. At the top of Senator Vance's agenda, immigration, moderators asked him about former President Trump's vow to carry out mass deportations. I think the first thing that we do
Starting point is 01:01:01 is we start with the criminal migrants. About a million of those people have committed some form of crime in addition to crossing the border illegally. The contrast was clear, but the tone civil. Walls blamed Trump for blocking a relatively conservative border bill and criticized the inflammatory false statements about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. Wow. Now what what you're telling me that that
Starting point is 01:01:26 stupid bill that was killed and by the... That really wouldn't... Was conservative? Well, it allowed like a million people in a month without any problem whatsoever. This is this is so slanted but it gets worse with clip three. I believe Senator Vance wants to solve this but by standing with Donald Trump and not working together to find a solution it becomes a talking point and when it becomes a talking point like this we dehumanize and villainize other human beings. The people that I'm most worried about in Springfield Ohio are the American citizens who have had their
Starting point is 01:02:02 lives destroyed by Kamala Harris's open border. The moderators stepped in with one of just two fact checks in the debate, sparking a fiery exchange. And just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status. Well, Margaret, but— Thank you. Senator, we have so much to get to.
Starting point is 01:02:24 No, no, of course. I think it's important because the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact check. Another substantive contrast came over abortion. The report should have said even though the rules were that the moderators would not fact check, they fact checked anyway and then wouldn't let him respond and turn the mics off. Well, she cuts it off, she lets Vance kind of bitch and moan there a little bit, and then she goes on to the next topic about abortion. This is Lisa Desjardins' great object, by the way, PBS has gone so left.
Starting point is 01:03:02 I mean, we say it all the time, but ever since Gwen Ifill died this news operation is no good. They're no good. I repent often how we made fun of Gwen and we really miss her now. She was keeping that thing together. So she goes off and talks about something else. I had to cut it off there because it went on and on and on just kind of going nowhere so I had to back up and so I got the debate fact- there because it went on and on and on, just kind of going nowhere. So I had to back up.
Starting point is 01:03:26 And so I got the debate fact check fiasco clip. And this is what really happened. Thank you, Governor. I'm sorry. This is what really happened when Vance was confronted by Margaret Brennan and Nora. And it was really Nora who brought in the fact check, and then Margaret Brennan cut it off and said, no, no, no, we got to move on, and he tried to correct her bad fact check. Thank you, Governor.
Starting point is 01:03:53 And just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status. Nora? Thank you. Senator, we have so much to get to. I think it's important because the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact check. And since you're fact checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on. So there's an application called the CBP One App, where you can go on as an illegal migrant,
Starting point is 01:04:22 apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years. That is the facilitation of illegal immigration, Margaret, by our own leadership. Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process. We have so much to get to, Senator. Those laws have been on the books since 1990. Thank you, gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:04:48 The CBT One App has not been on the books since 1990. There it is. Cut them off! Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut. We have so much we want to get to. Thank you for explaining the legal process. We have microphone power! Not only that, but she was sneering.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Margaret Brennan, we had this big smile on her face after somebody in the control room cut the mic and said, no, we're not talking about this. And we're going to go on to other things. We're moving on to important things. This was actually a debate that could have broken out. It would have been an actual debate. It would have been interesting. But no, they had to cut the mic because they wanted to be in complete control. So they lied
Starting point is 01:05:29 about the fact checking. This CBS, CBS lied about the fact checking. CBS lied about the open mics. This was terrible, which brings me to my next series of debate clips, which is only a couple. There's only a couple. These are the analysis clips I picked off from NTD because they brought some guy in. Now I have to find them. Debate analysis unique NTD. That might be it. Joining us now for his analysis of the first and final vice presidential debate of this election is former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore. He's also the former U.S. ambassador to the Organization
Starting point is 01:06:08 for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Governor, welcome. Thank you so much for joining us. Thanks for the chance to be on NTD. Oh, I love it. Now for all the verbal attacks we're seeing on the campaign. My commercial rates just went up. Thanks for giving me this opportunity. It was about it when he said, thanks for giving me the opportunity to be on NTD. He made a point of that. If NTD called me today for a podcasting story, I'd like, no, no, I got no time for you. Thanks for the chance to be on NTD.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Now for all the verbal attacks was seen on the campaign trail. Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz had a cordial debate harkening back to what politics used to be. What's your assessment of the tone and substance of the debate? We used to have actual debates. Well, first of all, the tone was surprisingly more cordial than we've seen in other times. But frankly, I have a little different take on it. It was nice and cordial and friendly until the last question.
Starting point is 01:07:07 And the last question was clearly a setup. That was the question that basically demanded that Vance contradict his ticket leader, President Trump, and put him on the spot on that. What happened there? What just jumped in the audio? That was odd. It's just the way it came. Oh. That was the question that basically demanded that Vance contradict his ticket leader, President
Starting point is 01:07:30 Trump, and put him on the spot on that. He handled it in a deft way. But then you saw Walls actually attack him in a vigorous and violent sort of way. He told him that his answer was a damn answer. And that was clearly different from all the preceding discussions that had been had up to the debate at that point. It seems to me it's perfectly clear that that was a setup, that he had been briefed on that. He said, now, you know, we're going to ask him this, this is the way you're going to
Starting point is 01:07:57 answer. It seems to me that the time has come to get away from this business of just picking liberal teleprompter readers as the moderators. This was a terrible debate from the point of view of the moderators. So I'm not as warm and friendly about this debate as maybe some people are. If I can just interject, because this is really bugging me now. These are not debates. This is bullcrap. The American people have allowed the media to determine debate. The whole debate would be go stand together and then debate. And it would be great if you could yell and
Starting point is 01:08:41 get in people's faces. And that's a debate. None of this is a debate. In fact, I think clip two addresses this a little bit and I have some thoughts on it too. There's been more focus on this vice presidential debate than previous ones due to a wide range of factors. When it comes to moving the needle among voters, do you think last night's debate will do that? Well, I think that it was intended to try to do that. I think once again, the CBS framed the questions in such a way as to try to put Vance in a bad position. They didn't talk about inflation. They instead talked about giving away taxpayers money to homeowners, even though it was inflation that causes the homeowners problems, paid leave, and just all kinds of ways that they were shaping this
Starting point is 01:09:30 debate. So, I think that the goal was to try to move the needle. And frankly, in my view, the modern telecommunications age does reamplify some of this. So I'm a big fan of the debates, but not of this. I think it's time to move away from these same network people and move back into something more like the presidential commission or something of that order. This business is just going in and being beat up by left-wing commentators. It's got to stop.
Starting point is 01:10:00 Amen. And I was thinking about this comment he made, it's got to stop. When did it begin? It began with Trump because Trump, when Trump did an independent debate situation, I think it was with CNN or one of these groups, the ratings went through the roof. When Trump started, and so all these networks said, why are we getting in on this action? Because the numbers went through the roof. Cause the old debates, the Nixon Kennedy debates and everything before that, they were, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:30 they were, they were debates. All right. But they weren't like blockbuster tent pole pro things for the, for these networks. Entertainment, entertainment that Trump, Trump specifically provided. And I think it probably began with the primaries in 2016 when Trump was calling a little LaRubio and DeJeb Bush was a loser and all the stuff. Low energy. Low energy. Low energy loser.
Starting point is 01:10:59 It grabbed the public's attention. They started watching stuff that they would never watch in a million years. When you watch your local mayorial debates, nobody watches these things because they're boring. Trump made them interesting and compelling and people, oh, let's go see what he's going to do this time. They're eating the dogs. I mean, he always had something.
Starting point is 01:11:19 And so, but this guy's right. This is bull crap. These networks are, this is no good. These debates are useless crap. Well, remember it was the Women's League of Voters who organized these previously and they said, we're giving up. We don't want to participate in this anymore the way the media wants to run it. They gave it, they gave it back. Said, no. Yeah, because the media was stepping all over the basics. The media is a bunch of greedy bastards.
Starting point is 01:11:45 And they just saw this as a moneymaker, a money grab to put Trump on and beat them up or try to get them to say something silly, like, you know, or something funny, like funny, usually they're eating the dog. It's the best. It is the best. It is the best. So it was, so it was a, I don't know, I thought the thing was a joke. And Brennan and O'Donnell suck. And they should be out of there. They suck. The whole concept sucks. It's not a
Starting point is 01:12:19 debate. It's just, it's just not a debate. Well, when the debate almost broke out, they cut the mics. It was like, there it is right there. There's your debate. Can't have that. No. There was a little bit of a debate where Walz actually admitted to wanting to censor people for hate speech and that kind of slipped through. And then a massive fact check, which we've done on this show, which they just let go.
Starting point is 01:12:49 But you guys attack us for not believing in democracy. The most sacred right under the United States democracy is the First Amendment. You yourself have said there's no First Amendment right to misinformation. Kamala Harris wants to use the power of government. They kind of got buried by saying, but I'm talking about hate speech. No, and this could have been a lively debate. Kamala Harris wants to use the power of government and big tech to silence people from speaking their minds. That is a threat to democracy that will long outlive this present political moment.
Starting point is 01:13:21 I would like Democrats and Republicans to both reject censorship. Let's persuade one another. Let's argue about ideas and then let's come together afterwards. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Fact check false. That's the test. That's the Supreme Court test.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Tim, fire in a crowded theater. You guys wanted to kick people off of Facebook for saying that toddlers shouldn't wear masks. The governor does have the floor. Fire in a crowded theater. That is criticizing the policies of the government. So we actually discussed this not too long ago. Maybe 300 episodes or maybe 200 episodes ago. It was not a Supreme Court decision. It wasn't the Supreme Court stance on what you can and can't do. It was an opinion in a dissent and actually a dictum, non-binding statement from Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. who said, well, you can't do that. And then
Starting point is 01:14:12 they actually got into discussing it. And if you think there's a fire in a crowded theater, you can yell fire. You can. It's still free speech. There is no Supreme court decision on yelling fire in a crowded theater or any other venue for that matter. I, I don't understand how they get away with it. And I want to, I have one clip here from Bill Gates. Oh. And, and the one I'm going to play this clip for is this idea that you can't do this, you can't do that, or should be rules against it.
Starting point is 01:14:45 You're seeing it on Bill Maher show with the various guests. You're hearing it left and right, especially from the Democrats about, you know, we shouldn't, there should be restrictions on front, basically saying there should be restrictions on free speech, which is a joke if you think about it, but they keep pushing it to the point where you hear stuff like this from guys that you think are it, but they keep pushing it to the point where you hear stuff like this from guys
Starting point is 01:15:06 that you think are smart, like Bill Gates. We should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know, where are those boundaries that even the U S, uh, should, you know, have rules. And then if you have rules, you know, what is it? Is there some AI that encodes those rules because you have billions of activity and if you catch it a day later, the harm is done.
Starting point is 01:15:36 It's time for another pie in the face, Bill. You gotta be careful with this nonsense. I found that to be the most abhorrent thing he's ever said. I haven't watched his show yet. He has a Netflix series now, but I'm going to have to, because I think this comes from that Netflix series. Oh, it could be. I'm going to have to watch it now,
Starting point is 01:15:53 because there may be some good clips. Something else that popped up, which is also not properly fact-checked, but I don't have the clip, but Walser's talking about Finland. Finland is so great. Finland, nothing, they got guns. Nothing ever happens in Finland. Finland's fantastic. Well, luckily we have Wunderhelm, Sir Wunderhelm, who has come back to listening to the show after
Starting point is 01:16:14 a multi-year absence. And he said, hey, Finland came up in the debate. Why did he stop listening in the first place? He didn't like our stance on Russia and Ukraine. Yeah, you know, because Russia is their neighbor. Oh, because we were peaceniks? Is that what he thinks? You'd rather have a war going on between these two? Hey, I'm happy he came back. He's giving us another shot.
Starting point is 01:16:34 I'm happy. It always happens. People always come back. He used to give us free phones, if you recall. I know. When he worked at Nokia, then he was really awesome. He gave us lots of free gear. It was fantastic.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Well, we also promoted it. We talked about the stuff we got, the good and the bad. He says, well, first of all, the rhetoric about Finland, he says, a little skewed, we have 5.6 million people versus, and he looked it up, 333.3 million. He says, that is actually the number that came rolling out of Google, magic number alert. He says, Finland just suffered its first school shooting in over a decade earlier this year. That wasn't mentioned in the debate. So yes, of course, they have guns.
Starting point is 01:17:20 But the number of murders per capita is much higher than the average European country. Mainly or usually family members killing each other or drunk friends who are killing each other. Well, they drink too much in Finland. Bye Luke, nice having you. Well, he has to admit this. Everybody, I've been there, and one of the things they tell you, they warn you about the fact that there's a bunch, it's like worse than Poland was when they first invented vodka. Worse than the Russians in their, they drink too much.
Starting point is 01:17:57 You got to do something in those long cold winters, what else are you going to do? You drink too much, you get mad, it's because some people, you know, they're... Angry drunks, angry drunks, angry drunks. Angry drunks, and we all know, we've all run into them. There's the happy drunks, there's drunks that want to fall asleep all the time, and then there's the angry, mean-spirited drunk. They get a little alcohol in them and they're all... And boom! You shoot somebody.
Starting point is 01:18:21 Yes. And boom! You shoot somebody. Yes, boom, you shoot somebody. Exactly. So while we're on the topic, Waltz of course had the flub of the evening, which everybody laughed and made memes about, the best one.
Starting point is 01:18:37 So I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it. Look, the NRA, I was the NRA guy for a long time. I become friends with school shooters. All right, Waltz. What an idiot. I did have another funny clip from CNN this morning with Casey Hunt. Casey, Casey.
Starting point is 01:18:54 And she had senior Trump advisor Jason Miller on. CNN is really trying to shake it up. He's going up against a moron, a total moron. How she picked him is unbelievable. And I think it's a big factor. There's something wrong with that guy. He's sick. He went into the Michigan game the other day, got booed out. I went into the Alabama game. The 120,000 people went crazy. So Jason, is Tim Walz a moron? Okay, wait, stop. Wait, wait, wait. I have to at least give a little background on Walls going to the Michigan game.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Okay. Walls went to the Michigan game and he was representing for the other team, for the wrong team, for the Minnesota team. Yes. And University of Minnesota Gophers. Yeah. And so they booed him. Of course they did. Yes. Yes. Okay. And of course he flipped somebody off, which so they booed him. Of course they did. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:46 And of course he flipped somebody off, which was probably bad for him. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. And meanwhile, Trump's going into a game where he's neutral. So both sides cheered him.
Starting point is 01:19:56 I mean, this is specious, just to mention it. I just like that Casey Hunt says this. The 120,000 people went crazy. So Jason, is Tim Walz a moron? I mean, that's a great question. I think I found the great question. That is a great question. That's a good one.
Starting point is 01:20:13 That's a good question. Well, two things can be true at the same time here. Again, the Tim Walz that we see on the campaign trail as he's bouncing around and dancing and pointing to Kamala Harris and looking kind of goofy is not the Tim Walls that shows up in debates. And Casey, I will tell you, I've watched more debate footage of Tim Walls than anyone should ever be forced to do. But what he's going to have an issue is how does he defend his record? How does he defend Kamala Harris's record?
Starting point is 01:20:38 And to be honest, he has to defend Joe Biden's record as well. All right. So then he actually said something quite intelligent, which we've been saying here for the past 30 minutes. Well, it's not a debate. Let's just be candid. None of these are- I'm sorry, this is Doug Jones.
Starting point is 01:20:53 ... debates in the traditional sense of the word. They're just a series of answers and you're going to answer what you want to do. You know, look, I think Tim Walz needs to be Tim Walz. Talk about what they're going to do for America and the hope and the joy that Tim Walz brings. The joy and hope. I talk about my old football team that walked out on that stage at the DNC. That was a moment, folks. I got to tell you, that moment spoke to a lot of people across this country.
Starting point is 01:21:16 Yeah. Okay. Are we done with the debates? Because I have a very important series of clips here that we need to discuss. Because all of these- Important series of clips here that we need to discuss because all of these important series of I think there's one more clip. It's probably ancillary Well, is it important I Have no idea. This is the
Starting point is 01:21:37 Just throwing stuff out there. No, I have clips. I don't put these clips on this list for no good reason All right. Well, you said it's ancillary. Here we go. Debate rap NTD. Yeah, I guess that must be it. Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz each praising their own debate performance as they hit the campaign trail today. Vance defends his answer to a question on the 2020 election, and Walz touts a tougher stance on China. NTD's Iris Tao has more from Marne, Michigan, where Vance is holding a tougher stance on China. entities Iris Tao has more from Marne, Michigan, where Vance is holding a campaign event.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Oh. Holding two campaign events in the key battleground state of Michigan today, Senator JD Vance praised his own debate performance last night saying that it went well and that he felt bad for Governor Tim Walsh. I thought it went pretty well. I gotta be honest, I feel a little bad for Governor Walsh.
Starting point is 01:22:24 And the reason I feel a little bad for Governor Walsh. And the reason I feel bad for him is because he has to defend the indefensible. But just hours after the debate, the Harris campaign launched a new ad highlighting Vance's answer to whether Trump lost the 2020 election. Did he lose the 2020 election? Tim, I'm focused on the future. That is a damning non-answer. Vance was again asked about it today where he said he's focused on the upcoming election
Starting point is 01:22:48 and will keep talking about election integrity. Why didn't you answer the question last night during the debate about who won the 2020 presidential election? We're going to talk about election integrity because I believe that every vote ought to count but only the legally cast votes. Meanwhile, Governor Tim Walsh today was campaigning in Pennsylvania. Anybody watch the debate last night?
Starting point is 01:23:10 Not bad for a football coach. We had a civil, but spirited debate. And after seeing last night, the human spoke about having traveled to China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest. Walsh told reporters today. Yeah, look, I have my dates wrong. I was in Hong Kong in China in 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Walls told reporters today. Yeah, look, I have my dates wrong. I was in Hong Kong in China in 1989.
Starting point is 01:23:29 I will tell you this, Xi Jinping is not someone you should look up to. Xi Jinping is not someone who you should say does a good job on things as Donald Trump has said about COVID. Yeah, the biggest show on earth, ladies and gentlemen. We're editing.
Starting point is 01:23:42 I have one last comment. I'm going to ask you this. Why did, was Vance chosen? Why was he chosen? Who, who, who, who pushed Vance? Why did Trump choose Vance? Because I didn't know this completely. I think I kind of knew it.
Starting point is 01:23:59 We may have talked about it, but it turned out that we had a- Peter Thiel. I thought it was Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia who pushed him. No. It was Donald Trump Jr. Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. You're right.
Starting point is 01:24:13 He was... You're absolutely right. But Donald Trump Jr. is also hanging out with the PayPal mafia for their world finance platform. Yes, but Donald Trump Jr. is good friends with Vance. They became good friends, bearded buddies. Oh, bearded buddies. There's your show title. Bearded buddies. No, bearded buddies. There's your show title.
Starting point is 01:24:26 Bearded buddies. And so there's a show title. And he was on Hannity after the fact that he started explaining how this worked because he says his dad, I don't think so. I don't know about that guy. You know, he hated me when he first started off. You know, he's different now. And he pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed his dad to pick Vance.
Starting point is 01:24:46 And he, so Donald Trump Jr. is not the big dummy everybody thinks he is. He's a, has some influence. He has influence. He has influence. It was worth noting that Donald Trump Jr. is not a slouch. No, but he's running a shit coin.
Starting point is 01:25:00 So we'll have to see how that goes. I mean, he's a slouch, but okay. Well, it's his bad form, very bad form. All of these people, probably not Trump, but you never know, must be shaken in their boots because as was teased by lawyer of the show, our constitutional lawyer, Rob, who did not go to school with him, but knows him very well.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Tony Busby, Tony Busby, the lawyer from Houston. Yep, yeah, I've got him. This is good. I'm glad you did this. Here's the backgrounder, ABC. New and disturbing accusations against Sean Diddy Combs, a Texas attorney tonight, says he now represents 120 alleged victims, men and women,
Starting point is 01:25:43 whose allegations span more than 30 years. The accounts of the alleged victims have not been fully vetted, but their accusations involve the kind of drug-fueled alleged sexual assaults described in a dozen civil lawsuits and the criminal case against Combs. Combs has pleaded not guilty to federal charges. His attorney tonight saying Combs emphatically denies any claim that he sexually abused anyone. All right. So that's a very, very good looking David Muir, but that was a very short report about what actually went down. Tony Busby must be said is very successful at what he does. Apparently his house is unbelievable. So he's I'm just reporting. He is also good friends with Donald Trump, which makes it a little bit more interesting. I took a couple of clips from his press conference and we start with his opening.
Starting point is 01:26:41 This is about the scope of this lawsuit and the ages and just how big this is and what's really going on with, and it's not one, it's 120 lawsuits. As I said, our law firms have been retained by 120 individuals at this point to pursue cases in civil court against Sean Diddy Combs. You should know, in this group, it is evenly divided between males and females. There are 60 males and 60 females who have joined us to pursue these claims as plaintiffs. In this group, 62% identify as African American, 30% are white, and the remainder are Hispanic or Asian. The victims are from more than 25 states.
Starting point is 01:27:28 The majority are from California, New York, Georgia and Florida. I want to focus on the ages of these victims. When you talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it's shocking. Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was nine years old. We have an individual who was 14 years old. We have one who was 15. 25 of the 120 individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were minors at the time of the acts complained of. Now, I've already seen a time of the acts complained of. Now I've
Starting point is 01:28:05 already seen a couple of trolls posting, no no it is not what you think. Now there's been a lot of reports that we're filing a class action. This is not a class action. Class actions when one or two people file a case on behalf of a group of people. That's not this. These cases will be individual cases. Each case will live and die on its own merit. These cases will be individual cases. Each case will live and die on its own merit. These cases will be filed individually, one plaintiff against whoever the defendants were involved in the case. So it's not a class action.
Starting point is 01:28:34 This guy's going all in. He's doing each individual case after carefully vetting every single one of them. And the time frame is vast. The time frame of the acts complained of is very wide. The conduct at issue spans from the years 1991 all the way till this year 2024. If you wonder why there are so many alleged victims, that's your answer.
Starting point is 01:28:55 We're talking about more than 25 years of this type of conduct. Now, although most of the victims who have stepped forward were victimized after 2015, this has been going on for a very long time. This is so good. This is, I mean, now we get into it. And he later on.
Starting point is 01:29:14 Yes. Just to ask you this, you don't think this is the October surprise? It depends because he doesn't, the last clip that I have in a moment is about who, and his relationship to Trump makes me think that this definitely could be. For certain, it is going to make a lot of people worried when you hear these final two clips. And he goes into some graphic detail, which I did not clip about what happened to some of these, predominantly
Starting point is 01:29:45 the children. It's everything you could imagine. But here is the clip about what acts and where they took place. The acts complained of in these cases that we're going to file occurred primarily in New York, either Manhattan or the Hamptons, or occurred in California, primarily in Los Angeles, or in Florida, primarily in Miami. Most of these events and incidents occurred at parties, typically after parties, or album release parties, New Year's Eve parties, Fourth of July parties, something they called
Starting point is 01:30:21 a puppy party, the All Whitewhite party. Although several of these events occurred at auditions, many times, especially young people, people wanting to break into the industry were coerced into this type of conduct in the promise of being made a star or in the promise of having Sean Combs listen to their tape or even let them read for Sean Combs. You should know that some of this behavior occurred at well known venues in New York City. Some of this behavior occurred at private residences of people that we all know. Some of this behavior occurred at hotels that we're all familiar with. You should know that more than 55% of the victims filed reports,
Starting point is 01:31:09 reported this conduct to either the authorities, that is the police, or to hospitals. We're in the process of collecting with our team, assistance, medical records, reports that were made to the authorities. And I've already said that some of the individuals in this group did in fact talk to the FBI. So interesting that we have some trolls saying, oh no, this is to take down Trump. I think you're wrong. This guy is friends with Trump. This is not to take down Trump.
Starting point is 01:31:42 Well, just the opposite. Exactly. What can a troll think this way? Do they ever listen to this show? No, I don't know what they're doing. They're on drugs. Speaking of drugs, some of the drugs that took place that were used here. So this is the final clip and we will be hearing a lot more from Tony Busby.
Starting point is 01:31:59 Good name, by the way. Tony Busby in the morning, everybody. Z100. It's a good name. Tony Busby. It's the Buzz. A 95.5 Tony Busby in the morning everybody. Z100 it's a good name Tony Busby it's the buzz a 95.5 Busby Busby in the morning he's not naming names but he will soon and yes this is the part that gets to me okay well the reason why is he says he's vetting they're vetting every single they can't just come out and make allegations without,
Starting point is 01:32:25 I think this is a setup. No, because no one's ever done that in their life. Okay. Well, listen to the last clip and then, then I'm happy to hear your opinion. Many of you came here thinking or hoping, or perhaps believing that I may start naming names. That day will come, but it won't be today.
Starting point is 01:32:48 The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there's a lot of names. It's a long list already, and of course I already know who some of these individuals are, but because of the nature of this case, we're going to make damn sure, damn sure that we're right before we do that. But the names that we're going to make damn sure, damn sure that we're right before we do that. But the names that we're going to name, assuming that our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you. These are individual cases. There are indeed other perpetrators involved.
Starting point is 01:33:21 They will be revealed when that particular individual case is ready to be filed. They already know who they are. And I'm talking here about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders. That is, those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing. And I'm talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on. They know who they are. I call them the facilitators of foul play, willing participants in vile conduct. As we identify them, each will be part of this case as defendants. These defendants will not only include individuals, but would
Starting point is 01:33:57 also include corporate entities who ultimately profited off of this culture and behavior. I'm looking at banks, pharmaceutical companies, hotels. We know that many of these individuals were paid cash. We know that many of these individuals involved, whether they were the ones being assaulted and abused or they're witnessing other people being assaulted and abused and then paid and threatened and told to leave Typically paid ten grand in cash and told to leave We'll see how fast you can get some out but the whole press conference and he had three different representatives from from abuse
Starting point is 01:34:40 organizations and His whole pitch was if you were involved, come forward now, come forward now, because we know who you are. And he was talking about trank being slipped into, into drinks and people waking up the next day, you know, Well, this is the, the one case that Gloria, Gloria, already is doing some woman who who was pranked and then bound up and then raped by supposedly, this allegedly, allegedly by Diddy and one of his, I guess one of his bodyguards or some
Starting point is 01:35:16 other guy. And so she's suing and this took place in the day some time ago but Allreds know slouch. No. And so this is, yeah, this is not going to turn out well, but this is, it has so much of the earmarks of the Epstein, uh, material. Now there is supposedly another thing, another aspect of this. This guy, by the way, Busby was on Jesse Walter's show, Waters. Oh, he was on Waters.
Starting point is 01:35:43 He was on him. Waters, for some reason, emphasized the fact that record companies are also on this list of bad actors. Clive Davis, oh yeah, oh definitely. Which is not mentioned in those clips you have. Allegedly, definitely. Allegedly.
Starting point is 01:35:57 Well, he didn't mention Clive Davis, but Clive Davis was the mentor, and if you've watched the Clive Davis documentary on Netflix, you know, after his third wife, hello, I said hello, hello, after his third wife, after his third wife, he's like, I think I'm gay. And I think I like hanging out with the gay guys. And he was hanging out with all the hip hop guys.
Starting point is 01:36:22 This is not the gay stuff in hip hop, particularly around Diddy and Bad Boy Records, it's been well known. It's like, and everyone's like, okay, whatever the gay, but we didn't know about all this, or at least I didn't, but it was apparently. Nobody did. Well, there's been some.
Starting point is 01:36:40 I mean, if you're in the business, or you're with these parties, or whatever the case, yeah, you knew them, but nobody in the public, you know, our level of public. Well there was a YouTube show and it was a real hip hop show and someone sent it to me, this is a while back, I have to go and dig it out, and the hip hopper who also has their own YouTube, they all got their own YouTube channels, She was talking about what went on these ditty parties. And the mix of drugs that they were using and the baby oil and all this stuff. I mean, you can go back to Shirley Temple and just look at any of those old Shirley
Starting point is 01:37:27 Temple movies. It's disgusting. The sexualization of children in the movies in Hollywood was rampant. It's been going on. Is it any different today? No. And talk to the kid from The Goonies Kid. What's his name?
Starting point is 01:37:42 I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who always did the Michael Jackson impersonation. He's always talking about it. Yeah. There's a number of child actors that are always talking about it. Corey Feldman. Corey Feldman.
Starting point is 01:37:55 Feldman, right. Yeah. And he implicates Charlie Sheen. There's all kinds of stuff that's been going on. But when it gets to minors, and I'm pretty sure that a lot of, and it's, it's, there's going to be politicians, there's going to be captains of industry, it's going to be in here. And if it's an October surprise, well, he's getting it started early.
Starting point is 01:38:17 He's got a couple of weeks, but he better hurry up. Otherwise there's no good. I don't know what they're going to do, but it's definitely a story worth following. I'm on it. Yeah, well somebody needs to be on it. Yeah, it's my beat. I'm on it. I'm on it. Okay, what else? Well, I have other things. I was taking a break. Do you want to do anything here?
Starting point is 01:38:43 I have a couple. I have a kind of a raspeet. Raspeet? A thing in the middle. I got a regovi thing I have to play. It is raspeet. By the way, it's pronounced wee-go-vee. What's raspeet? Is that something that you eat?
Starting point is 01:38:57 A raspeet? It's a thing in the middle. It's like the entremont. To cleanse your palate. It's a little palate cleanser. Yes, exactly. And this is We Go Vee Ad. I had to play this because there's an interesting element to this ad. Overweight. Wegovi shouldn't be used with semaglutide or GLP-1 medicines.
Starting point is 01:39:31 Well isn't Wegovi GLP, isn't that what it is? It's semaglutide. Yeah. It is semaglutide and so they're telling you not to use it with itself? Yeah, because you could OD on it. You can OD if you get too much semaglutide. It should not be used with semaglutide is what they say and it is semaglutide. Yeah. Oh well. I thought that was odd. Oh boy, that cleansed my palate. Oh, I need a drink of water. And by the way, I always pronounce it semi-glutide
Starting point is 01:40:00 but they pronounce it semaglutide, which is interesting itself. But yeah, sounds more medical. 2.5 milligrams, I believe. Sounds more medical that way. Somaglutide. Somaglutide. Yes, somaglutide. All right, that was it.
Starting point is 01:40:17 This is like the ones that say, do not use it if you're allergic to it. That's my favorite. Can I do a little bit of big tech stuff? Oh, we have big tech stuff today? Yeah, we got a little big tech stuff. The first one is Marsha Blackburn. She's from Tennessee, isn't she? Marsha Blackburn, I think she's from Tennessee. I don't think she's from Tennessee.
Starting point is 01:40:39 The honorable senator from Tennessee. I think she's from Missouri, isn't she? Yeah, she's one of those states. I'll look it up. She is sounding the alarm on Meta and Google. Yes indeed we have found out that it appears that what they are doing is coordinating and they're listening in on phone conversations and pulling keywords. It's called doing a keyword search and then selling that data to advertisers who then, if you're talking about wanting something or going somewhere, all of a sudden you're
Starting point is 01:41:18 going to see that ad that pops up. It is a privacy invasion, and we have tried many times to pass a federal online privacy protection legislation. And John, as you know, these lawyers and lobbyists and the millions, tens of millions of dollars that these platforms spend to fight against this is astounding. So it's never gotten across the finish line. We've gotten close, but we haven't been able to get it across. And until we're able to establish a federally preemptive national privacy standard, you are not going to see us be able to reign in this overreach and this data mining and these privacy invasions that are carried forward
Starting point is 01:42:13 by these big tech platforms every single day. When you are online, you are the product. So that's a pretty big allegation that they're listening to your phone calls. We know they've been listening on those stupid devices. Yes, yes. But I guess they just have, you know, if you install the Facebook app or any app from Google, then in the ULA, I'm sure you're just saying, yeah, go ahead. And they're listening.
Starting point is 01:42:42 And, you know. I think you install anything If you look at the laundry list of giveaways you have to do all you would dig they have access to your microphone They have access to your photos. They have access to your contact list a lot of these things a lot of these products There's no reason in the world. They should have access to any of this But they're they demand it and you run the product you got to say, okay, whatever I have an early phone can't stop whatever. I have an early phone tip. Can't stop this. I have an early phone tip.
Starting point is 01:43:10 Yes, I got a new phone, a $63.00. It's reasonable. Yes, it's the Cat as in Caterpillar, S22. And I'll tell you why I like this phone because I I was on my phone too much I'm just like I'm on this phone this you know I've got things alerts going off and on my graphene OS You know just there's just too much going on like I want to have something that gives me my email That is not gmail. Of course. I want a text messaging
Starting point is 01:43:43 and What else did I want? My Bible app, there you go. That's about it. That's all I wanted. But what this phone is, is it's a flip phone and it looks very much like, what was the one that had that weird operating system? No, it's it's an industrial strength phone, has a big keyboard, almost like for grandma. But the screen, which is probably three inches by two inches, it's a version of Android, Android Go.
Starting point is 01:44:16 So you can kind of customize it with as little as you want. And even if you put stuff on there, it's so tiny, the screen, and the pop-up keyboard is so small that it's pretty much useless. So you can customize a very minimal phone. You don't install any of the Google products. T-Mobile immediately just turning it on popped up a whole, oh, install these games. Yeah, no T-Mobile. So you rip all the T-Mobile stuff off.
Starting point is 01:44:45 And it's a very affordable, very good phone. And it kind of looks cool. People are like, oh, is that a flip phone? No, it's the new flex, I'm told. And it's a good product, other than that's Android, but outside of that, if you just want a phone that does some small things that you need and you don't need anything else, it's good to go.
Starting point is 01:45:08 That's my tip. You might want to look into one, John. You'd love it. I have a good phone. Yeah. It's in the desk. No, it's in a drawer downstairs. We move onwards to my favorite topic, which is AI.
Starting point is 01:45:23 We have an update on chat GPT and open AI He's gonna start in the tech world a look at the company behind artificial intelligence chat bot chat GPT. Mm-hmm That's right. Stewart that company is open AI and it's now one of the world's most valuable startups this after Concluding a fresh round of fundraising which brought in $6.6 billion from a number of big investors including venture capital firm Thrive Capital, Japan's SoftBank and Microsoft to name a few. This was one of the largest ever funding rounds for a private company. This means the AI darling is now valued at $157 billion on par with established publicly
Starting point is 01:46:04 listed companies like Goldman Sachs and Uber. That's almost twice as much as it was worth at the beginning of the year. There are conditions to this new round of financing though. OpenAI has demanded that investors not be allowed to put money into any of its private competitors like Elon Musk's XAI, for instance, and investors will be able to withdraw their money if the company isn't fully converted to a for-profit company within two years. So I've been looking at what Wall Street keeps calling the hyperscalers.
Starting point is 01:46:40 This is an unbelievable expenditure that's taking place for these data centers that everyone thinks is going to be necessary for this artificial intelligence boom that we're supposedly in and I mean it's amazing How I mean you talk about their bit, you know, the I think there's six nuclear plants small medium reactors There's all this stuff is being planned. And you look at the flow charts of all these companies, the picks and shovels of this, and everybody's in on it, but I don't know if they're going to have
Starting point is 01:47:12 any customers because I got this boots on the ground for one of our producers about EPIC, E-P-I-C, EPIC Medical. They're the largest electronic medical records vendor in the industry. They're the largest electronic medical records vendor in the industry. And so this is what Larry Ellison was talking about. Like oh, and then you won't have to write a report. It'll write a report for you and then it'll contact the pharmacy and then the pharmacy will get your prescription. Everything's right.
Starting point is 01:47:41 And then it poops out a report for the insurance company check out the cost structure Her Per okay cost structure per user $3,000 per month 61 cents per user query request How can this be worth it? Yeah, you can get some minimum wage person to do this work. Easily, easily.
Starting point is 01:48:19 So this is, our boots on the ground producer says the execs are all giddy about it. And he says meanwhile, since it's not... People get giddy about techie stuff if it's in and around their kind of business and they can see... I've heard these presentations and seen them where somebody can come up and say, look at this, look at this, look at this. But traditionally, in tech,
Starting point is 01:48:49 the most appealing factor is the cost savings. Reduction. It's always reduction. It's gonna, it used to cost you this much and they're outlining it very carefully. This is what it cost you to do this now with our product. And it's not just half, usually half. It has to cut it way down to like a 10th as much. Yeah. And this is like more than. This is why it's not just half, usually half, it has to cut it way down to like a tenth as much. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:05 And this is like more than. This is why I think. It's almost always more than. I don't get what the appeal is. These people are dumb. He says the execs are so giddy that it has anything to do with AI. He says while they're waiting for this to be implemented, we'll see how long that takes, their doctors are buried in this reporting stuff and have started using just chat GPT
Starting point is 01:49:27 to write their patient notes, which is a complete violation of HIPAA. You're actually just feeding the models, the information about your patients. This is out of control. This is so stupid. But okay, it's keeping Wall Street afloat. Everybody's happy, I guess. And to drive the point home. You're such a Debbie Downer.
Starting point is 01:49:59 I am a Debbie Downer. I am. I was watching another piece on, I think it was PBS about the secret facility in upstate New York. IBM is now working on the real quantum computer. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. It's so groovy. The quantum computer is gonna do everything
Starting point is 01:50:20 with their qubits. Qubits are gonna make it all happen. IBM lies. Someone finally did it for you, John. What is your test, the Dvorak Rorschach test of a good search engine or something that will give you results that you... Right, you ask the question,
Starting point is 01:50:38 what is the best weed whacker you can buy? That is the question. And 99% of the time you get to phony sites That own, you know the companies that own the weed whacker companies showing you Here's the top 10 weed whackers and theirs is always number one, but they never mentioned that it's all it's a scam The whole thing's a scam. Well, let's listen to notebook LM a deep dive on the best weed whacker All right, so you're ready to tackle those overgrown weeds, huh? But like whoa picking a weed whacker can feel like a mission impossible sometimes, right? It totally can
Starting point is 01:51:12 They're like a zillion options out there. It's easy to get lost in the weeds trying to figure it all out. Exactly Diving deep into the world of weed whackers We're gonna figure out which brands are the real deal, not just marketing hype. And luckily we've got... Not just marketing hype, John. It's for you. This is for you. An expert here who can weed out the weaklings, so to speak.
Starting point is 01:51:34 I like what you did there. And yeah, there's definitely a lot to consider beyond just the brand name. Totally. So let's say you're a landscaping pro. You're out there every day battling some seriously tough weeds. What are the brands you rely on?
Starting point is 01:51:45 Well, for pure, you know, workhorse reliability, you can't beat still. Like they're known for building these tanks, basically. Their engines are something else. Big pistons, heavy duty crankshafts, not your average, you know, flimsy weed whacker. Yeah, these are the ones that can handle getting banged around a bit, right? Exactly. Landscapers swear by them, especially the FS series. Those are legendary now the steel STI HLE I think no no II Oh the landscaper series that legendary. Do you agree?
Starting point is 01:52:16 Is this the best white weed wagger? I don't know Well, I can't find it out by going on the web and they're just telling me something I'm sure is done by some sort of a scammer. Okay, so stills got the heavy duty category covered. But what about someone like me? I've got a small yard, not exactly a jungle out there. Right, so you don't need a monster truck. You need something a little more like nimble.
Starting point is 01:52:37 That's where ego comes in. They've really nailed the whole battery powered thing. Battery powered. Tell me more about that. Okay, so they use these lithium ion batteries, right? Oh man. They pack a punch, plenty of power for a typical yard, but no gas, no fumes,
Starting point is 01:52:52 and way lighter than those gas guzzlers. That's a game changer, for real. I don't think we're ever gonna get a conclusion out of this, John. They are not solving the problem. Not at all. And it's possible that those products are good. I mean, they may be good, but are they the best? And there's no way of finding out. There's no lab testing all of them. Consumer Reports that I, as far as I know, haven't done anything on weed whackers,
Starting point is 01:53:20 and they probably will leave out some of them because they're not complete anymore in their analysis of anything. They always leave something out, everybody does. And it's just hopeless. It is. And listen to these two jokers. Okay, speaking of jokers, we have big news. It finally happened. There are a few smiles in world politics more earnest than Mark Rutters.
Starting point is 01:53:44 The former Dutch Prime Minister has been well known for his affable public persona, something that served him well for the last 14 years in the Netherlands. His next role may require a different approach. On Tuesday Rutte takes over as Secretary General of NATO, which has been led by Norway's Jens Stoltenberg for the last 10 years. NATO might be the most successful military alliance in history, but it's facing challenges possibly more fundamental than at any other time in the last 75 years. Finally, Jens Stoltenberg has handed over the reins to the soy boy of the Netherlands
Starting point is 01:54:17 known as Mark Rutte, who used to be an HR at, what's the big UK Dutch firm that does cosmetics and baby lotion? I don't know. I mean, I do know, but I don't know what you're referring to. Yeah, I can't remember right away. Unilever, Unilever. Oh, Unilever guy. He was one of the HR ladies at Unilever. So he is now the secretary general of NATO.
Starting point is 01:54:46 And I'm very happy because we get to make fun of how he talks. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Hello. And I'm glad to see all you are here today. Yes. It's very good to have you here. Brussels has one of the largest international press corps in the world.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Yes. And I'm looking forward to be working with you. All right. of the largest international press corps in the world. And I'm looking forward to be working with you. First, I want again to express my profound gratitude to Jens Stoltenberg for the tremendous job he has done in the past 10 years. Few leaders of this alliance faced a more challenging geopolitical environment. It's good. But Jens steered us through difficult times with a steady hand. Very steady hand.
Starting point is 01:55:31 He played a big part in making today's NATO stronger than ever. And he leaves behind an enduring legacy. An enduring legacy. By the way, I think it was A-hold, which is Albert Heijn, big shopping concern. Doesn't matter. He was with the HR lady. So here is the meat of his speech. Surprise surprise.
Starting point is 01:55:51 The soy boy is all in on the military industrial complex. I have three priorities. Three. Ensure we have the capabilities to protect against any threat. Yes, Russia. Support Ukraine in fighting back against Russian aggression. Aggression. And addressing the growing global challenges to Euro-Atlantic security. Like China. First on our military capabilities. Okay. NATO's core
Starting point is 01:56:19 mission is to ensure our collective deterrence and defense. No, no, our core mission is to spend money. Over the past decade, we have made tremendous progress in ensuring we have the forces and capabilities to deter and defend against any threat from any direction. Russia. But we must go further. Okay. And faster to meet the enormous challenge ahead.
Starting point is 01:56:43 Here we go. We need more better equipped forces. Yes. a more robust transatlantic defense industry, increased defense production, greater investment in innovation and secure supply chains. More money! Allies are already stepping up with plans to acquire thousands of air defense and artillery systems. Many hundreds of modern aircraft, mostly fifth generation F-35s, as well as substantial high end capabilities.
Starting point is 01:57:13 What about the money? But to truly match our capabilities with our needs, we need significantly more defense spending. Money! And I will work with allies to ensure that we invest enough in the right areas and that we shoulder the burden for our collective defense equitably. I'm glad that everyone else is going to be paying more money, more money for
Starting point is 01:57:35 bombs and stuff and F-35s is great. Congratulations, NATO. Well, the last thing Stoltenberg said when he got out and left, he did an interview with that funny sounding British, semi-British sounding PBS woman who's been around forever. I can't think of her name offhand, but she has a show. He sits down with her and he talks about how, you know, one of the main things I wanted to get accomplished is get Ukraine into NATO. And the first thing that this bonehead says, he wants to make sure they get Ukraine into NATO. Which is the reason the Russians are all upset.
Starting point is 01:58:18 And all you have to do is say no to that. And that war would be over, but nobody wants to do that. No, only Trump. Can't have debt. Can't have debt. Season of reveal, a little season of reveal. Seasoning. Not seasoning, the season of reveal.
Starting point is 01:58:38 What? That was seasoning of reveal. No, no, that's a new product I'm working on. This is just, that would be tasty. This is the season of reveal. We'll remember the snowpocalypse. Oh man, it was it now five years ago, four years ago when people died all throughout Texas.
Starting point is 01:58:57 We were stuck in our home without electricity for four days, I think. And the show deconstructed, this was a scam. This was a scam by the energy producers by ERCOT. It was the old, ERCOT is our central exchange, which is literally like a stock exchange of trading energy units back and forth at best price. Then it was Enron people, old Enron people didn't die. Yeah, Enron people, you get a clue, you stay with it, worked before.
Starting point is 01:59:28 Well, there's an expose. Those deadly blackouts that we remember and killed hundreds of people during the 2021 winter storm may have been an inside job. A new lawsuit alleges energy companies created an artificial natural gas shortage. KXAN's Tom Miller talked to The Hill reporter Saul Elbein about the other claims made in that lawsuit. 246 people died in the 2021 winter storm. There were freezing temperatures, there were blackouts.
Starting point is 01:59:57 And now there's an allegation from this pipeline analytics company that says this was pre-planned and that's pretty startling. Yeah. So now we need to be careful when we talk was pre-planned, and that's pretty startling. Yeah, so now we need to be careful when we talk about pre-planned. So what it comes down to is supply and demand. The allegations are that in the weeks before the storm, and particularly in the days before the storm, several dozen of Texas's biggest oil and gas
Starting point is 02:00:18 and pipeline companies started restricting the supply of natural gas to their power plant customers, effectively strangling them of the fuel they needed to run the grid. And then as the grid started to go wobbly and the power plants panicked and the state government panicked and prices were allowed to rise basically freely, then the gas companies, the allegation is, took that gas that they had now had on hand and they'd freed up by breaking those contracts and they sold it for a whole lot of money. Pretty much what we said.
Starting point is 02:00:50 It's exactly what happened. They left people out in the cold and remember the prices? Remember the prices were like $7,000 a kilowatt hour. It was high. It was high. And so now, can we can we get in it? Can we claw back any of that money? Publicly, there was this defense that the grid was not winterized. And the lawsuit says that that's actually pretty misleading. Yeah. So the head of Circles Access Pipeline Company
Starting point is 02:01:16 says a two inch pipeline, two inch pipeline can freeze a 20 inch pipeline in a state that gets freezes not infrequently. that's a little bit more suspicious. The defendants are these gas companies, pipeline companies, banks. What are they saying? They were in court to say, we need to throw this case out. And at this stage in the game, what that looks like is you essentially say, let's say everything you're saying is true. We did the crime of the century.
Starting point is 02:01:41 It doesn't matter because we're in the wrong jurisdiction or you're wrong on some key point of law. And in this case, the reason that they're saying that plaintiffs are wrong is, you'll remember, people were pretty mad just after Winter Storm Urie and the legislature heard how mad you were and it created a state payment plan to pay off that huge debt and they created a procedure to go through
Starting point is 02:02:00 to make sure that that money was, to make sure that those bills were fair. And so the defendants essentially said, look, the time to bring this up was then. It's too late now. Scam, massive scam. No one will go to jail. Nothing's going to happen. This is on KXAN Austin.
Starting point is 02:02:15 No one cares about them. Little local station. Yeah, we've gone through it here. Yes. When Gray Davis was the governor. Well, you went through it with the... They came with the scams. Oh, we have to have gray outs, brown outs, black outs.
Starting point is 02:02:29 Yes. Remember you had the phone calls of Enron guys? Yeah, cut the electricity. Cut it. Cut it. Black them out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they got the only thing that happened, they did end up recalling the guy and Schwarzenegger became the governor. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:44 Of course, he didn't do much, but it was at least something. Yeah. I've pushed all donations back till the end of the show, John. You probably noticed since it's going to be long. I figured we'd do everything in one go because we got a lot of Commodores. Okay. You disagree? It's going to take about a half an hour to go through all the donations.
Starting point is 02:03:05 That's why I figured, you know, we get all the news out of the way and then we thank everybody. You know, it's a happy day. Hello? Well, that's not what I was expecting. Really? You want- Well, since you want to do that, I don't really have a problem.
Starting point is 02:03:23 I have a three by3 that was sent in. And now it's time for 3x3 Experiment by JCD Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC The never-ending 3x3 I'm sorry, I guess I should have cleared it with you. I figured you'd be okay with that. I just looked at the list, I'm like, we should just do this all at the end. I thought when it was long,
Starting point is 02:03:45 that's when we wanted to break it up. No, no, but this is too long because it's all top heavy. So, you know, both sides, there's a lot of people. But we're gonna talk about the Iranian missile barrage, which is like, I think we may have predicted it was not going to amount to much. I think we literally said fireworks.
Starting point is 02:04:10 And here we go with our reporting. You know, I'm going to move CBS up on this because I think that they've lost their... Their mojo? Well, no, it's like, we always thought of them as CIA, but after watching the debate and some of these lunatics that are there at CBS, I don't know if the CIA is really doing much there. Um, so let's start with them. From the White House situation room, President Biden and Vice President Harris monitored
Starting point is 02:04:38 Iran's attack on Israel with their national security team. Tonight, the president says Iran failed its mission. They attacked peers that have been defeated and ineffective. And this is testament to Israeli military capability and the U.S. military. And he vowed to help Israel defend itself. Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel. The U.S. has more than 40,000 troops and aircraft squadrons spread across the Middle East, along with 12 warships in the region. Another one is on its way.
Starting point is 02:05:12 Today, two of the Navy destroyers fired roughly a dozen interceptors against Iranian missiles. We will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend U.S. forces and interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists. And we will continue to work with our allies and partners to disrupt Iran's aggressive behavior and hold them accountable. Former President Trump claimed Biden and Harris are leading the U.S. to the brink of a wider war. Iran has been exporting terror all over the world and it's been just unraveling.
Starting point is 02:05:49 The whole Middle East has been unraveling, but of course the whole world has been unraveling since we left office. Tonight, the White House insists Iran will face, quote, severe consequences for that missile attack. President Biden said what those are remains to be seen. He has not spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu since the strike, but says he plans to. What I miss in that report from CBS,
Starting point is 02:06:12 they didn't use the phrase ballistic missiles. I heard that- Some people use ICBMs, which I thought was interesting. Which, I don't know if they, were they, they're not intercontinental ballistic missiles, are well it's intercontinental was it between continents No, it's on the no wasn't well. It's on the same time you define continent well I have to mention the one thing the You have to do before I get to the next two clips
Starting point is 02:06:41 This is the only the one guy was you know they sent out 200 missiles and one guy's dead. And here's the irony, read this, this is the- Oh, is this the Palestinian? Yeah, Israel ran, iron, dead guy, PBS Israel. Hold on, I'm sorry. Israel says ran, but it means Iran. Oh yeah, I got it. I saw the video of this. Another Gazan laid to rest today, 38- old Sameh Al-Assali, a resident of the occupied West Bank and the only person known killed by Iran's massive missile attack.
Starting point is 02:07:16 Did you see the video of that? No. Oh, so it's like a security camera footage on the building and you see the guy, he's the only guy on the street and this massive you know the thrust part just this you know this shell from this ballistic missile falls right on top of him and he just like chops him in half. It's like the worst day record video of the year. Imagine just walking out by yourself and boom, this thing falls right on your head. It was unbelievable. Well, he's the only guy. So let's go with ABC. We know the U.S. was actively involved
Starting point is 02:07:59 in intercepting these missiles today. Absolutely helping Israel defend itself. They had two destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean. They launched missiles to intercept 12 of those Iranian missiles. We're not sure how many were intercepted but certainly some of them, you know, you on those ships it's like a bullet hitting a bullet, a missile hitting a missile to protect Israel. Extraordinary precision involved. In the meantime, Martha, I know you've been talking with your sources today. How concerned is the U.S. of the potential of a wider regional war here? And could Israel, now vowing to retaliate, could Israel target Iran's nuclear sites?
Starting point is 02:08:36 Well, at this point, David, my sources tell me they don't really know what Israel is going to do. They're waiting. They will probably get some sort of heads up before they respond, but they are worried about how broad a response. I don't think they're concerned at this point that they will hit nuclear sites, but it is certainly possible. But given the fact that it was not major damage, they're hoping that Israel tamps it down. Isn't this just exactly the same as the last time? Yeah. Just, oh, shoot some rockets. OK.
Starting point is 02:09:06 But we'll shoot some back. All that's missing from these reports is the, and somebody sent me a number of clips. I didn't use any of them, but I'll mention them. A lot of clips saying, well, you know, Iran is one week away from a nuclear bomb. Didn't they also have that in the debate? Didn't Nora say? Yeah, there was a, I think in the debate there was a, one week away. One or two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.
Starting point is 02:09:26 Okay. Which we've been hearing for at least, I don't know how far back this goes. Five years maybe. I don't know. At least. Forever. At least. Obama years.
Starting point is 02:09:36 Definitely. All right. So let's finish with the NBC Comcast operation. President Biden tonight declaring Iran's major assault on Israel a failure. The attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective. The president crediting the US's extensive planning, anticipating today's attack and working alongside its close ally Israel. Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel.
Starting point is 02:10:04 Earlier, President Biden with Vice President Harris monitoring the attack alongside their national security team from the Situation Room. The White House says Iran did not give any advance notice of today's missile barrage. The comes as the Biden administration's months long effort to prevent a larger war in the Middle East is now facing its toughest test yet. The president tonight saying it remains to be seen with the consequences for Iran will be. The vice president also condemning the Iranian attack.
Starting point is 02:10:33 Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East and today's attack on Israel only further demonstrates that fact. Still, former president Trump campaigning in Wisconsin argues on the administration's watch, the world is spiraling out of control. Trump said something else, which I thought was rather interesting, which kind of fits into our general theory that many of the main guys in Iran may already be dead, that there's been this systematic elimination of surgical precision either through bombs or missiles through the window or pagers exploding. And here's what Trump said.
Starting point is 02:11:18 This has really been bad. But they have to finish that process, however turns out. They have to finish the process. This is a little bit like two kids fighting in the schoolyard. Sometimes you have to just sort of let it go a little bit and we'll see what happens. That's a far cry from the brink of destruction. Yeah, this whole thing is suspicious. And until I see any evidence to the contrary, even though you're always going out on a limb when you say, well, this whole thing is theater and bull crap, which is what we've said.
Starting point is 02:11:56 When you sent 200 missiles over and you can't kill anybody but some poor hapless Palestinian that happens to be walking home in the West Bank. It didn't even get hit by the warhead. It was hit by the empty shell. Just dropped on him. It's like, yeah, I don't know. This doesn't make any sense at all. If you targeted 200 missiles all on, and like they said, a bullet a bullet, come on.
Starting point is 02:12:23 This is, harkens back to the old days of the Scud remember the Scud missile attacks the Scud stud where's he we need him again yeah the Scuds yeah that was good did they still use those Scuds did we offload those on the Ukraine guys have been upgraded did we send them to Ukraine he have some Scuds well they weren ours. It was a Russian missile was the scud. Oh That's right. We had the Patriots against the scud. You're right a patriot switch are useless to Did you see Netanyahu talk to the people of Iran? Yeah, I did. What'd you think?
Starting point is 02:13:00 Well, he's speaking in English He's talking to us Well make some point or other. Well, the point I got from him was regime change. Yeah, that's what it was all about. The whole speech was about, you know, we're going to, this will be fine. It'll blow over. You'll get rid of these guys. We love you.
Starting point is 02:13:19 No, he was saying, we love you guys. We love you guys. We love you. Iran, we love you guys. We want to be friends with you. We'll be peaceful and prosperous. It's your... I think he's trying to get to, you know, trying to trigger the next green revolution or whatever it is. Not that he's going to trigger it with that speech. Color revolution is the word you're looking for.
Starting point is 02:13:39 But it was green specifically in Iran, I think. I think their color was green. I don't remember the color. I thought it was something else, but yeah, that would be nice that whether you can pull that off or not, I'm not sure. Did you hear that? You're talking about, did you hear something? Did you hear, I have this, I don't have the clip here.
Starting point is 02:13:57 I should bring it on, on Sunday. Julian Assange's soliloquy about how they- I saw a little bit of it, a little bit of it. Oh, I have the whole thing. It's like, it was hard to get because it keeps being pulled. But I think it's bull crap. Tell me. Well, he's talking about the CIA,
Starting point is 02:14:18 mainly Pompeo and Barr had a scheme to have him killed when he was in the Ecuadorian embassy. And the more I think about it, it's like if they had a scheme to kill him, he would be dead. He would be dead. I don't think it's this, I don't think the CIA, I'm not a member, I don't get paid by them, I don't get a check. I think we get checks occasionally for the show. We need more. We'll take cash. I don't get paid by them, I don't get a check. I think we get checks occasionally for the show. But.
Starting point is 02:14:46 We need more. We need more. We'll take cash. We need more. You can use Stripe, it's all good. Stripe works. Is the, I just don't think they're in the, I just, I think there was maybe a scenario threat
Starting point is 02:15:01 that was given to them to scare them, maybe. But I just don't think they're in the business of killing journalists left and right under any circumstance, especially this guy who is a valuable asset. And like you said, and I would agree, they could have taken him out because he was going on the balcony every day and giving speeches. He could have been taken up by a sniper 600 yards away. They would never caught him.
Starting point is 02:15:27 There's a million things that could have happened, but no. 2009 was the Iranian Green Movement. It was green, okay. It was green. It was green. It didn't work too well, the Green Movement. No, because they weren't backed up by Obama. He pulled the plug on it.
Starting point is 02:15:45 That's right. He didn't do it right. Yeah. The net Yahoo thing that when I, and it's, it was like three minutes and we don't have to play it obviously, but when I was listening to them like, you know, this sounds like there's, you know, he's just saying, oh, it's the, it's the Mullahs. It's those guys. And your leadership is no good.
Starting point is 02:16:01 Bastards. Yeah. Take them out. And I'm, you know, we need to hear from our dude named Mohammed. Have you seen, well yeah, a lot of dudes named Mohammed. Did you see the clips that are going around about the, in Iran, the latest kind of TikTok thing going on? No.
Starting point is 02:16:19 Oh, so this, I didn't retweet it, I don't think. I might have, but it's about four minutes of just one guy after another knocking turbines off the heads of all these moolahs. What? Yeah, teenage punks. That seems like a bad idea. Well they're doing it by the hundreds because they just showed it over and over, one after another these kids, these kids that go by on a bicycle knock the hat off.
Starting point is 02:16:45 Oh, well there you go. There's your next green revolution. It's the hat tipping revolution. They are knocking hats off of these guys left and right and there's always somebody filming it. There is like, we're talking about tens, there could be hundreds of these guys getting their hats on and they get all angry and shake their fist.
Starting point is 02:17:04 Well of course. But all these, by the way, these moles are wearing these long garbs and these kids are wearing jeans so the kids run off. So they're running, they run away. They're tripping over their dress. You can't get up to speed because of their outfits.
Starting point is 02:17:16 I'm telling you, do they have a name for it? There must be some kind of, they've got to have a name for this action. I don't know what to name for it. There has to be, you're right, but it seems to be some sort of, they've got to have a name for this action. I don't know what the name for it. There has to be, you're right, but it seems to be some sort of a trend. Let me see. Knocking turbines off in Iran, let's see.
Starting point is 02:17:33 Turbine tossing, there it is. Yeah, that's what it's called, right, turbine tossing. Turbine tossing. We have a revolution, it's the turbine tossing revolution. I love it. That could be it. You humiliate them. You humiliate them by knocking, by tossing their turbines off and then we'll unseat them.
Starting point is 02:17:54 Yeah. Yeah. Well, anything's possible. Have you been following this thorium stuff? Thorium reactors? And stuff? Thorium reactors. Yeah, what about it? Yeah, they've been around for a while. Do they work? Is that for real? Thorium stuff, thorium reactors. And stuff? Thorium reactors.
Starting point is 02:18:05 Yeah, what about, yeah, they've been around for a while. Do they work? Is that for real? Yeah, they work fine. They work good. They work well, I'm sorry. Yeah. I think that's what Gates is doing.
Starting point is 02:18:14 I think he's doing these thorium reactors. I think he's doing a liquid salt stuff. Wasn't thorium salt, I think? Isn't that the? No, thorium is not salt. Oh. I mean, it may be using the salt in the thorium reactor, but it's not... No, thorium...
Starting point is 02:18:29 I used to have thorium at the lab when I was working at Union Oil. And there was always a jar of thorium. It was surrounded by... What is it used for? It's used for some tests that I never did. And it was surrounded by lead. And it was in the shelf with all the other dangerous products. And it was always interesting because we had a Geiger counter so you could take
Starting point is 02:18:53 the top off and then get the Geiger counter reading and wow, that stuff is pretty nasty. I've been looking at all these different companies that are building thorium reactors and you know, the cost is almost zero and it takes like 18 months to get a reactor set up. This could change a lot of stuff. Well, there is a move, I think, make a move toward back to nuclear.
Starting point is 02:19:21 And I think that molten salt, thorium, these sorts of things are going to be in play. I mean listen to this great British nuclear unveils smr shortlist Wyoming Bill Gates moves ahead with nuclear project aimed at revolutionizing power generation project Pele micro reactor breaks ground US closes 1.52 billion dollar loan to resurrect Michigan nuclear plant. It's everywhere. And it's all for AI, of course, for the data centers. Well, I think that's the front. It must be a front.
Starting point is 02:19:51 So you say, well, we're going to have to have this because, I mean, people push back on nuclear and you create this front of AI, and then AI flops. They say, well, we got to turn this loose to the public against this energy now. And boom, you've got your energy prices dropping back down to where they should be. Which would be, well, it would go really low. Let's hope so.
Starting point is 02:20:16 Yeah. I mean, you could change the world. You could actually change, not with this solar and wind stuff, but this thorium. I mean, one little marble marble size ball of thorium would be enough for you, for all your energy needs for the rest of your life. Well, that's the sales pitch. That's the pitch.
Starting point is 02:20:38 That's a good one. Yeah. Austria, following on Germany, following on France, following on arguably the United States. The far right! The far right! Some branding anti-Nazi banners, dozens of protesters gathered outside the Vienna Parliament building after Sunday's general election, which saw the far right freedom party secure an unprecedented victory. That means social cuts for Austria. That means lower salaries. That means a catastrophe, especially for migrants. And for the women who are demonstrating in
Starting point is 02:21:10 favor of abortion again. We started demonstrating 40 years ago and I can't do it anymore. It is definitely a shift to the right in Austria and throughout Europe. And that we are losing our free country and our free life. We want to live a communal life, be united and live peacefully. That's where in Austria some have welcomed the FPO's win. I expected the FPO to come first one day but not today. Yes, it's definitely a good thing. Taking the reins of the party in 2021, Herbert Kickl has tapped into concerns about immigration in Austria and has capitalised on anger at the government's response to the Covid pandemic.
Starting point is 02:21:50 His party is critical of Islam and it's pushing for tougher laws on asylum seekers. Kickle is also against giving aid to Ukraine. He wants sanctions against Russia to be lifted, arguing that they harm Austria more than Moscow. Only the conservative Austrian People's Party, the OVP, has offered any suggestion it could work with the FPO, but has insisted it is unwilling to do so with Kickel. If Kickel fails to ally with another party, this could end the FPO's aspirations to govern and enable a coalition of more moderate parties. It's interesting how this has happened in every country in Europe, the Netherlands, France, Germany.
Starting point is 02:22:28 The people vote and they say, well, it's far right. The people vote for a party that's against replacement migration, which is the plan. They're against climate change nonsense. They're against all of this stuff. And then the great, wonderful democracy, the parliamentary system, they all gang up and go, nah, no, we're not going to do a coalition with you. Pound sand what the people want. Yes. This seems to be a theme. And I don't understand it, but how people put up with it. But it turns out somebody discovered that they put up with it.
Starting point is 02:23:06 So let's keep doing it. And if you listen to this report about a white supremacist gang who were arrested, there's really no white supremacy going on with this gang. They would do any legal stuff, but it's billed as white supremacists. The LAPD, FBI, DEA, and other law enforcement agencies announced today that they've taken down dozens of members of the notorious white supremacist gang, the Pecker Woods. The gang is based out of the San Fernando Valley. If I was going to start a white supremacist gang, I don't think the Pecker Woods would be my name.
Starting point is 02:23:47 The first name. Where did you get this report? ABC LA. The Pecker Woods. The Pecker Woods. 29 federal arrest warrants were served this morning. 68 members of the gang were indicted on charges ranging from gun violations to identity theft.
Starting point is 02:24:03 It appears, however, that the business of hate was not enough for them. Their criminal activity took on different forms. Wait, stop. What is the business of hate? Exactly. There's a business? Is there a business model? Do you have to pay taxes?
Starting point is 02:24:18 I mean, what is the business of hate? It's Pecker Woods LLC. We're in the business of hate. How much hate would you like from me today? That the business of hate. It's Pecker Woods LLC. We're in the business of hate. How much hate would you like from me today? That the business of hate was not enough for them. Their criminal activity took on different forms. Driven by greed, as alleged today, they engaged in drug distribution, multiple fraud schemes, and firearms offenses.
Starting point is 02:24:42 Forty-two of the sixty-eight gang members indicted are now in custody. The remaining 26 are fugitives. The Pecker Woods, according to federal law enforcement, have aligned themselves with the Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican mafia prison gangs. How can you be white supremacist if you're working with Mexicans? Mexican mafia doesn't make sense. Imagine the secret handshake the Pecker Woods have. What we wanted to do through this investigation was neutralize this threat as quickly as possible. So as I said, we're not going to wait around for a tragedy to occur. We're going to take action right away. And in order to do that, we use every tool in our federal toolbox to address that. In our toolbox what we've done today.
Starting point is 02:25:26 In our toolbox. This is such nonsense. I think that handshake involves a hot dog in some funny way. You got anything else you want to get off your chest before we induct some Commodores? I have a couple, just two quickies. The quickie quickie is Mayor Adams' update. Ah, yes, the mayor! Poor guy.
Starting point is 02:25:45 Federal prosecutors say they could bring additional charges against Mayor Eric Adams and indict others. Adams appeared in court today after his Friday arraignment. According to the indictment, the mayor accepted about $100,000 worth of free or discounted goods and services. Prosecutors say those included international flights, hotel stays, meals, and entertainment from foreign interests.
Starting point is 02:26:09 The allegations span nearly a decade. Adams' attorney requested a March trial date, an important ballot deadline for next June's mayoral election. Assistant US Attorney Hagen Scotton told Judge Dale Ho that prosecutors will likely seek a superseding indictment against the mayor. Scotton also indicated that additional defendants could be charged.
Starting point is 02:26:32 Adams has pleaded not guilty. Would you send me the email that this Jumanji guy would be the replacement mayor? Yes. Who is this? A real lefty. He was like a commie? Like a commie lefty? Yeah, he's basically a communist.
Starting point is 02:26:46 Oh man, New York. They're so screwed. I'd have to say yes. So I do have to, just the final clips, since we're going to go into a long thing, it's going to take forever. I have to play this because this just started this week and it was one of my reasons for dropping CBS as the CIA front. Oh. A new show began this week called CBS because to compete with Kathy I guess and her husband or Kathy Lee or whatever her name is.
Starting point is 02:27:16 Kathy Lee did different. Shani or I don't remember her name. But the CBS mornings, the mornings you know the competitive morning show, Third Hour. Oh, yes. Kathie Lee is in the third hour of the, of the, of the ABC. So they get your third hour, it goes up against Hoda. Hoda. And Janney, whatever their names are. I can't keep you.
Starting point is 02:27:38 But this is the... The Drinkers, the Drinkers, the Drinkers, the Drinkers show. Yes. Um, I have two clips. They're just to show you that these people, they found two people. One of them is sweet. I mean, she seems okay. What is her name?
Starting point is 02:27:55 She's Adriana Diaz. She's nice, but she's like, I don't know if she's got any brains. And Tony Docapel, this other guy who's like they've, they just, CBS just fired guys that fired a whole bunch of people because of Paramount's new ownership. Right, right, right. They fired like Jeff Glore, who's a terrific character. He should have stayed with CBS. No, they fired him and they're using Tony and these two people, they like, they let's
Starting point is 02:28:21 put two people in front of the public that really don't know a lot about anything. Yeah, excellent. So let's listen to this. Here they have, they're going to discuss how about air foils because neither one of them can understand how airplanes work. Okay. Every day about 45,000 planes take off and stay up there in the air by
Starting point is 02:28:45 magic it would seem. Do you know how they stay up there? I sure don't, but it turns out scientists, they're not sure either. Tony, you've been talking about this for freaking much. Since I was a child.
Starting point is 02:28:56 Do you know that we don't know how planes fly? I've been talking about this literally since my head was low enough to not hit it on the table right here. I've been since I was a child. This is wondrous and amazing, but carry on. Okay, well, I can't believe know how planes fly? I've been talking about this literally since my head was low enough to not hit it on the table
Starting point is 02:29:05 right here. I've been since as a child, this is wondrous and amazing, but carry on. Okay, well, I can't hear this anymore. So we brought in Samantha Kalandrelli, who was an expert in
Starting point is 02:29:13 all things aerospace. Emily, I'm so sorry, I don't know where Samantha came from. Yeah. But you are here to clear things up for Tony or maybe not clear things up. Yes, well, I will say,
Starting point is 02:29:22 flight is beautifully complex and there is no one single theory that can explain it perfectly all at once. But there are two that give you most of the idea, but there's still a mystery about one of them. So the first part of the explainers, we have two. The first one is Bernoulli's principle. And Bernoulli's principle is something that tells you about what happens when air moves
Starting point is 02:29:44 fast, okay? Because when you have a wing, because of the airfoil and the way it's moving through the principle is something that tells you about what what happens when air moves fast okay because when you have a wing because of the airfoil and the way it's moving through the air you have fast moving air that goes over the wing wait what is airfoil oh my god they should they should make them drink this is no good and they bring in this expert who talks about Bernoulli's, she's talking about Bernoulli. Bernoulli's? Like it's a sauce? Like we have the wonderful new Bernoulli's sauce on our filet mignon. She curiously at the end of this, this is a long exposition, these people go oh really? And the whole thing goes on and she finally pronounces Bernoulli correctly at the end. What is an airfoil? I don't know. I don't understand how airplanes work. I had to cut it off there
Starting point is 02:30:23 because it was like okay, well there you go. You don't even know what an airfoil I don't know I don't understand how airplanes work. I had to cut it off there because it was like okay well there you go you don't even know what an airfoil is why are you getting paid a ton of money to do a morning show. Now I have one other clip from the same show this is for this was introduced this week on Monday and it turns out that this Tony guy has really got some issues, some family issues that come out in this kind of just a dumb discussion and all of a sudden we hear him start to complain about his dad. Here we go. You have the biggest heart of anybody. I don't know if you will ever understand how much you impacted my life. Wow. I'm so sorry. It took me so long to find you. I love this story, y'all. I'm telling telling you so here is my takeaway from that there is both healing and joy From acknowledging those in our lives who were there for us and showed up during our darkest time So I pose to the both of you is there somebody in your life that you would like to go back and thank
Starting point is 02:31:40 I would thank my kindergarten teacher. Mr. Roca. I loved her, I loved her family. She used to call me Bambina, which is like, I think, little girl. What does it mean, Patty? Bambina, little girl in Italian. So I just, it always made me feel so special. And I misunderstood the assignment. I was gonna say my dad, who I went back not to thank, but to say no thanks, thanks for nothing.
Starting point is 02:31:59 Why'd you walk away? But it was actually well worth it. I also think a lot of people are alienated from family members. Reconnecting, finding what you missed, and then getting what you need to go forward is also really important. David Begnaud, I love your stories. I will get these signed by right next time and I'll see you on the following Monday. Best segment title ever, Begnaud's America. Begnaud's America is fantastic. You can catch David's full story on our CBS Morning's YouTube
Starting point is 02:32:23 channel. What was that? You tell me. I misunderstood the assignment. I was going to sit here and rage about my dad who left me when I was a kid. Oh no. And I wanted to thank him for doing it. What is wrong with these people at CBS? Well you nailed it.
Starting point is 02:32:45 It got taken over by Apollo. Apollo purchased Paramount. Apollo is Larry Ellison's kid. And they immediately cut everything and threw out the good people. And they bring in what they think is entertainment. And they clearly need some work up. What's an air foil? Ha! Ha!
Starting point is 02:33:02 I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda. In the morning. Yeah, what are you drinking? I heard you crack one. Topo Chico. Ah, you'll be burping throughout the whole segment. I'll be burping throughout the whole thing burping in within a minute So this is a episode 1700. We have a special promotion to become a Commodore and a lot of people go ahead I was gonna say and we should mention that the next show is 1701 which is the Star Trek Enterprise number. Yes, I have all kinds of continue this Commodore promotion through that and you can become Captain Kirk And so we want to continue this Commodore promotion through that and you can become Captain Kirk
Starting point is 02:33:47 or whatever you want to be a Commodore. And the actual certificate for Commodore is very pretty. It has a seal and a ribbon and everything and you can name yourself whatever Commodore you want. Framable. It's very framable. Someone told me that the Church of Scientology has Commodores.
Starting point is 02:34:06 I didn't know that. Yeah. But I want to tell people because there's a guy who came in, well, you know, here's where I want to be, Commodore this and that. No, you have to go to the Rings site. NoAgendaRings.com. Oh, okay. That's where you...

I checked earlier we had 2,090 trolls in the troll room, which you're going to say is low.
Starting point is 02:34:58 Not for Thursday. It's good for Thursday. Well, you know, that's why there was so much going on. 1850 is the average for Thursday. Oh, good. We got extra trolls here. That's good. We should probably count. Well, we already counted them. Ah, see, I'm all out of whack now. You can join them by joining the Troll Room at trollroom.io and,
Starting point is 02:35:19 of course, using a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com. You get alerted when it's time. And this is all part of my award because I'm an influencer in podcasting. We run it on Value for Value and we love doing these near the end of the year. This is actually special because episode 1700, our 17th anniversary is coming up this month, four more years. We'll keep going for you, our fifth presidential cycle and it's all value for value, which means you return to the show whatever you get out of it. Just send it back, any value, any amount. We always like to read our executive and associate executive producers.

Before we do that we want to thank some of our time and talent producers of which we have many throughout the years have done many things including that very troll room, the servers, the noagendashow.net, noagendameetups.com, noagendaartgenerator.com, and we want to thank our artist for episode 1699. And that was from Dame Kenny Ben back on the stick. And she brought us the no agenda dog flower,
Starting point is 02:36:34 which we thought was very cute. Yeah, funny. And let's see, there were some other things that we looked at. There was a lot of bug things. Yeah, I'm scrolling down. Like the eat more beef from Clip Custodian. some other things that we looked at. A little bit of bug things. Yeah, I'm scrolling down. Like the Eat More Beef from Clip Custodian,
Starting point is 02:36:48 I wanted to discuss the takeoff on the cow that says Eat More Beef, and it's got a sign that it holds up. The Eat More Beef is too small, it's not misspelled enough. There's issues with it, so that was a rejected part. Although it was in the running for a moment, for just a moment. It was discussed.
Starting point is 02:37:08 Just a moment, it's just a moment. Food of the Future from Darren O'Neill. I thought comic strip bloggers bug on a fork was funny, but it was obviously lewd, because the fork goes right up his butt. Yeah, it's not good. No. That'll end with the P. Diddy stuff. Yeah, I guess so.
Starting point is 02:37:28 Food of the Future. No, I think that was kind of it. Dame Kenny Ben. You took it. It was good. Noah Art Generator, where you can see all of the artwork that is submitted. Of course, if you're using one of those modern podcast apps, Dreb Scott always uses other pieces for the chapter art. It's fun.
Starting point is 02:37:45 It's fun to listen and look along as those images change right before your very eyes. Now let us thank our producers. Many of them actually become Commodores. Some nights we have some title changes and we'll start off with Brennan Keller. And Brennan Keller is in Perrysburg, Ohio. $1,005, which is very generous indeed.

Starting point is 02:38:18 Wait a minute. We know what he's doing. Ketamine. Yeah, he's doing ketamine videos. I watched too much tech TV as a kid. I watched a video where he was talking to another old host of the screen savers who brought up the legendary John C. Dvorak, someone I enjoyed watching after school back in the day. I started searching and found the greatest podcast in the universe. This is proof that John doesn't need to do interviews to get attention to the show. That's true. Anyway, I want to split this contribution in two. All right. One to earn a Commodore title myself,

I can't think of any better voice that would speak these powerful words into a modern audio format than with full podcasting 2.0 compliance.

Starting point is 03:39:12 impact me. I was raised in a working-class family. Now look my community knows who I am. Let's just say that's true just for the sake of arguments so we're not arguing about weird science let's just say that's true. From Bernie Sanders to Dick Cheney to Taylor Swift and a whole bunch of folks in between. To have the endorsement of Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. I've tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect.
Starting point is 03:39:33 And I'm a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that. I grew up in a working class family in a neighborhood where I knew a lot of young women. I don't think we can be the frog in the pot and let the boiling water go up. We just got to get back to common sense economic principle. Let's be clear of where we're at on this. It's because we got out of an imbalance on this. You've gotta play whack-a-mole.
Starting point is 03:39:51 This thing roared onto the scene faster and stronger than anything we've seen. My community knows who I am. They saw where I was at. Look, I will be the first to tell you, I have poured my heart into my community. Gun violence is now the number one cause of the death of children in America. So I've become friends with school shooters. Not car accidents, not cancer, gun violence. The number one cause of death for the children of America. So I've become friends with school shooters.
Starting point is 03:40:25 And this is the result of many, many issues, including mass shootings and school shootings that are too frequently occurring in our nation. I poured my heart into my community. So I've become friends with school shooters. Poured my heart into my community. So I've become friends with school shooters. And I believe we need to reinstate the assault weapons ban. And pass universal background checks, state storage, pause and reflex.
