Starting point is 00:00:00 No, no, no. Mom, no, no, no, no. You don't know. No, no. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's the October 13th, 2024. This is your award winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1703. This is No Agenda. With boots on the ground everywhere and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. Yeah, from from Northern Silicon Valley where we're awaiting the Argentinian gangs.
Starting point is 00:00:29 I'm John C. Coyote. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Aren't they the Venezuelan? Argentinians? Oh I said Argentinian that was a botch. Tren de Aragua. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Well, we might as well just submit to it. There's nothing we can do. It's the fifth time we've been through it. The news is all, yeah, yeah. That's all that it is. Everybody's going crazy. Everybody's going crazy. Because it's a very tight race. It's so close. So close.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I have the race rundown here as you brought it up. I think I can intro with this. This is the, I think is Trump Harris. Campaign rap. Campaign rap from NPR. Sounds right. Former president Trump is on the campaign trail along the West Coast today. He started with an Hispanic roundtable in Las Vegas. We have far more people, far more support than the other side.
Starting point is 00:01:33 And really the term, make America great again, we are the party of wanting to make America great again. Right now we have a country that's, it's a nation of decline. And he holds a rally in Southern California's Coachella Valley at this hour. You know, Vice President Harris is campaigning in North Carolina this weekend. She's in Raleigh tonight, then holds a rally in Greenville tomorrow. Also today her campaign released her medical report.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Her doctor says she's in excellent health and has the physical and mental resiliency to serve. Her campaign is drawing a line between the 59 year old and 78 year old Trump, the oldest candidate to run for the White House. Oh, he's old! And former president Bill Clinton is hitting the campaign trail for Paris this weekend. As in Piers Osman Khalid reports, he'll be traveling through rural counties in the South. The former president, who himself is from the South, intends to campaign in rural Georgia this weekend.
Starting point is 00:02:27 His planning stops Sunday and Monday ahead of in-person early voting, which begins in the state on Tuesday. Prior to Biden in 2020, the last time a Democrat won Georgia was Clinton in 1992. Later in the week, the former president will travel to eastern North Carolina again with the goal of reaching rural voters. This follows on the heels of former president Barack Obama who is also on a campaign blitz for Harris in this final stretch of the campaign. Both are aiming in part to boost support for Harris among men. Polls show the race between Harris and former president
Starting point is 00:03:03 Donald Trump remains incredibly tight. She's very breathy in that report. So in the infamous words of Notebook LM, let's take a deep dive into this. Let's unpack this. Let's see what's going on. Because the big news that was just flooding the socials was Obama talking down to the black men. The Harris campaign is clearly worried about her standing with young black men. And they're sending Barack Obama out these final three plus weeks to try to reach them. Here he is in Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:03:45 You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I'm speaking to men directly. Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president. Lulu, Harris is leading among black men and Latino men, but not near. You know, just that this is an affectation that I'm noticing and it may just be age, but Obama has the same thing that Howard Stern has. The voice no longer has the power. Do you know what I mean? He's miked poorly. And it's in an echoey room, which I, you know, I had that clip, but it was so echoey, your verse was a little
Starting point is 00:04:29 better than the one I had. Well, this was, I mean, there's more to it because this is the Chris Wallace show on CNN. Yeah, they probably did their best. They probably couldn't use much of it either. It was terrible. No, it was very bad. Lulu, Harris is leading among black men and Latino men, but not nearly by the same margins
Starting point is 00:04:49 that Biden enjoyed in 2020. So in other words- That is dad Obama right there. It's him sort of adopting that tone of scolding and saying, hey, men, why aren't you actually backing women? I don't know that that was the best tactic, I'll be honest with you. It's not really persuading people. At the end of the day, she has a problem with men. There is a huge gender gap though in this election. This is as it's been dubbed the gender election. Have you heard this being dubbed the gender election? I've never heard that until this clip.
Starting point is 00:05:25 It's fake news, Lulu. There's a huge gender gap though in this election. This is as it's been dubbed the gender election. And I think if I were Kamala Harris, I'd rather have women than men. The kinds of men that Donald Trump has are irregular voters, they're low propensity voters. Hold on, hold on. Irregular voters and low propensity?
Starting point is 00:05:48 What does that mean, low propensity? That means they don't get out and vote. Oh, okay. But, hmm. So, the, oh, well, that's kind of interesting then. It sounded like a slur, but now that you explained it, it just, okay, sounds like it's probably true. Donald Trump has are irregular voters.
Starting point is 00:06:06 They're low propensity voters. The kinds of people that Kamala Harris has are enthusiastic voters, black women, suburban women, these are the older women, these are the people that turn out. And so in this kind of divided election among gender lines, I think you'd rather have one than the other. I think I found one of those irregular, low propensity voters because they were all over my timelines. This guy I think is from Chicago.
Starting point is 00:06:35 What you thought you was doing Barack Obama? Boy, you just stepped out there. All you did was piss black men off bruh. All you did was piss black men off. Why y'all think the American people's do- why y'all think the Democrat party own black folk? The Democrat party don't own black folks bruh. What you thought you was doing with that? We see the play. We know we see the the play Kamala Harris is losing she's not
Starting point is 00:07:06 gonna win so you just stepped on out yeah you know black people are if you're voting for Donald Trump and not Kamala Harris this this is unacceptable man look check this out this is what I gotta say to you one two Trump is coming for you three four you won't win no more Five six the election was fixed seven eight y'all made a mistake Nine ten Trump is coming again nine ten Trump is coming again My favorite low propensity voters. Yeah, there's a lot of clips like that floating around. Yeah, but I like that one the most.
Starting point is 00:07:52 That guy's good. And then of course, NPR had to, the only thing they could do is just lay it out what Trump is talking about. Trump campaigned in Reno, Nevada last night. One of the swing states that may decide the election next month. He claimed he's attracting the support of black men. My numbers with the black and especially black men. I love black men.
Starting point is 00:08:15 I love them. I love them. I have gone through the roof with black men. Black men. Black men. I don't do quite as roof with black men. Black men. Black men. I don't do quite as well with black women, I must say. Trump is to appear this afternoon near Las Vegas. No humor. No humor on NPR.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Trump is to appear this afternoon near Las Vegas at an event billed as an Hispanic roundtable. Oh no, he's going after the brown men now. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So... I have. Yes. Yeah? Well, I was going to say that the big thing now is, because Elon Musk said it will happen, is Trump, will he go on Rogan? Will Trump go on Rogan? This will decide the election.
Starting point is 00:09:07 If Trump will go on Rogan, Trump on Rogan, this is whatever, people are emailing me. Why? Oh man. Oh no, he's gotta be. What, to tell you to tell Joe to tell whatever? Yes, I need to talk to Joe to make sure that Joe doesn't go Joe doesn't try to pull him apart, doesn't try to strongman him like he did with the moon landing guy.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Oh no, that would be horrible. Trump could lose. Please. I'm like, and just before you, because I know you have a clip lined up. What's her face? Kara Swisher, who's also on that Chris Waller show. Well, no, she has some good advice for Kamala. Well, I think she's got to keep doing it. I think not enough in repetitions.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Everyone does know Donald Trump and he fills up every space that he can, whether it's with toxic stuff, loud or meandering. It doesn't really matter. He just fills up all the space. And so she has to do more and more. I think that she's going on Charlamagne the God is critically important. That was a great, that's a great booking for her. And he's, you know, he has a base of real fans. I think she should go on Joe Rogan. I think she should go on Fox News. I think she should go to every local station and just make herself so inevitable where she makes mistakes.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And it's okay to make mistakes, but the the fewer she does the more mistakes seem glaring. Oh Kara are you tone-deaf? She's... You do not want Kamala going on Rogan. She's not on the advisory committee. Oh you do not want Kamala going on on Rogan. Uh-uh. So I have two Trump clips from Coachella.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yes. He must have pulled in a hundred thousand people. You know, I had dinner with two friends, happened to be in Austin last night, I had pizza with them and they were recently in Los Angeles, I think they were on PCH and he was telling me that there's Trump trains going all up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. He says there's a lot, he says even more than Texas. People are waving flags and they've got their houses completely all trumped out, which is interesting because you know when it
Starting point is 00:11:21 comes to the Electoral College there's pretty much no win in California. No, it's impossible. But this is... The same in Washington. Mimi told me a similar story. She says up there, she went to a meeting in a local nearby town for some event, some book writer. And it was filled with a bunch of these Trump supporters and they have taken it upon themselves to
Starting point is 00:11:46 Do what they do like in Florida where they have all their pickup trucks and they load them up with the Trump signs and flags Yeah, Trump train and they go all over the place and it turns out that they annoy it They get these Democrats that come running up to them screaming and going ballistic To such an extreme that they're making it a weekly thing. They do it because it's so much fun to get all these people aggravated. And then what they do is then when they come up to their trucks and they're all angry, then they roll the coal on them with the big 250 diesel. The big black cloud of smoke comes out.
Starting point is 00:12:19 But what is the strategy here other than just trying to rattle Kamala? Because it seems pretty impossible to get the electoral college votes you need, no matter how many people in California would be voting for Trump. It just seems like an odd strategy. No, it's winner take all states. Oh, wow. So he's going all out then. He thinks he can at least get enough popular vote to make it interesting. Well, California was red during Reagan. I mean, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah, we had other Republicans running the place and so it's not like totally impossible. But you know, the system underneath, the underlying system, the educational system, the universities and all the rest have been propagandizing so well that they Maybe we're at a tipping point. Yeah, sure. Hey, you know what? I'm just going to call it tipping point this election California flips red. So I have two Trump clips from Coachella and I have to apologize in advance. And believe me me I tried
Starting point is 00:13:26 Oh, you tried to make it sound good or There's a there is a ground loop in here Oh, and I and I'm apologizing profusely because this is the kind of thing that you specifically It drives you nuts. Now, is this something that was the Trump audio or? It was in the Trump audio. Oh God. I tried getting it out using Adobe. They couldn't do it. I tried getting it out using filters. It wouldn't work. It just screwed it up more.
Starting point is 00:13:55 So what you're saying is Adam, don't go all crazy about it. So Adam, don't go all crazy about this. Okay, gotcha. But I just, I have these two clips and we don't have to play them both. We have to definitely play the first one, which is the fat pig one. And I'll preface it by saying, these are like, I think new bits that Trump has incorporated. Okay. Well, he needed new material. Well, this is just, he's been so reluctant to be insulting ever since they took a shot at him, that he's gone about it now in a kind of a roundabout way of being insulting.
Starting point is 00:14:32 And you know he just enjoys it and the crowd loves it. You know, they just loved it. I don't know what it is, but he does insult. It's like an insult comic. Well, I think it's very logical because first of all, America used to be funny. We lost our funny decades ago. During Obama, we basically lost our funny. And it just kind of reminds people that we're Americans and that we know that America F. Yeah, you know, like Team America. I think it's something very deeply ingrained in the American psyche. Well, not in everybody. Cause there's a lot of people who find it offensive.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I think it's hilarious personally, but this is, he's part of the species talking away, yak, yak, yak. And then somebody makes, yells Willie Brown in the background, some insult. And so then Trump goes off on that and then he goes into the tangent And I think except for the buzzing. I think that this is his new way of doing insults, which is by Doing the opposite saying I'm not gonna do this and then he goes ahead and does it your children are endangered They can't go to school with these people. These people are from a different planet Kamala is turning us into a third world nation. That's what happened in San Francisco You can't go to school with these people. These people are from a different planet.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Kamala is turning us into a third world nation. That's what happened in San Francisco. When she was the DA of San Francisco, the things she did, she started that whole decline. With our victory, he says, Willie Brown. Who said that? Who's the guy? What? Stand up. This can only happen in California. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I didn't say it. Remember that. He said it. He said it. He said it. Do you remember when a man, we're talking about this guy Chris Christie, he went off the reservation, right? We have some people, and some guy shouts out to me, he's a fat pig sir. Nobody heard it but me, you know, but it was so he said it. Sir, you should not call Chris Christie a fat pig. Please. He is not a fat pig. You shouldn't. You're very rude sir. We're gonna have to throw you out if you do it again. He is not a fat pig and you know what the press is in that son of a gun. They couldn't even report this sir because I was defending because you're not allowed to use the word fat. You can use any word you can. You cannot call somebody fat. That's not
Starting point is 00:16:57 allowed anymore you know you lose your job, you lose your life. With our victory we are going to become and quickly the greatest, strongest, freest, safest and most powerful nation the world has ever seen. And on day one I will close the border and I will stop the invasion of illegal criminals coming into our country. And despite all of the damage that she has done to this state and to our nation in the past four years, she's the worst. Oh, she's terrible. She's terrible.
Starting point is 00:17:33 You know, you should lose your nickname Buzzkill because you couldn't kill the buzz. I couldn't kill that buzz. So he goes on about this fat pig thing and I just thought it was just genius. He's also doing a lot of self-deprecating humor about, you know, Oh, if I was in a bathing suit with this beautiful body. Oh yeah. No, he has a whole bit about his sleeping on the beach.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And he talks about the bathing suit and how does he, you know, with the paparazzi and all the rest, he goes on and on. He did. The other one, which we don't have to play cause the buzzing is even bothers me. He goes off on shift. You know, he said, I'll just summarize it. He goes, and he says, you know, you can't say, you can't really say bad things about people's appearance.
Starting point is 00:18:23 And I'm never going to do that. He says, I'm not gonna talk about Schiff. You know he's got the smallest neck in the world and he goes on and on. Right away. Oh man. Well, by the way, I noticed that Dennis Quaid was at the Coachella appearance. With Randy.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Oh, I missed that. But wasn't it, I thought though the brothers had a huge break during Obama or no, when Trump was running against Hillary, if I recall, it's like, you know, didn't Dennis Quaid completely shun his brother? It's possible. But right now, ever since Dennis Quaid played Reagan, right, right, right. The him and, but him and Randy were both there. Yeah. Along with a lot of other celebrities from Hollywood and elsewhere. It was a pretty interesting event except for the buzzing.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Yeah. Dennis Quaid, um, I saw him interviewed on, what was he interviewed on? Maybe it was Tucker. Um, he's, he's, he was radically saved, um, in AA, I think. Yeah, he's a Christian, so he's a real problem now. He'll never work again. He'll never work again. So, speaking of that, so Bill Maher, I guess, you know, besides the black men, oh, now we're worried about the Christians, you know, excuse me, Christian nationalists. Bill Maher hired that guy on Tim Alberta. He's the guy that, I guess his dad was a pastor and then he left the church and has been writing books
Starting point is 00:19:54 about how dangerous they all are. And it's all, ooh, we can't have any of this. And it was interesting because in the middle of this interview, there's just just this big lie which was really, I mean, does this guy have a different Bible than me? Evangelicals must see a bigger picture than we see in Donald Trump. What is that? Look, I think Bill, there is a person... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Bill, look I think, I'm gonna try that on you, look I think John, let me just tell you, look.
Starting point is 00:20:26 We see in Donald Trump what is that. Look, I think Bill, there is a persecution complex at work here that may seem silly and overblown to a lot of people from the outside looking in, right? But for folks inside the church who believe that the country is slipping away from them, that they no longer recognize the Christian America of their youth,
Starting point is 00:20:48 and they believe that Donald Trump is an imperfect vessel for God's perfect will, and they look at him and say, well, the barbarians are at the gates, maybe we need a barbarian to protect us. And I think in many ways, there's almost a mercenary relationship here where Donald Trump's bad behavior almost reinforces their support because they look at him and say, well, no good Christian man
Starting point is 00:21:10 is capable of protecting us in the way that he is, right? And so in a way, it almost liberates him to behave badly and to say whatever he wants and sort of just... Hold on a second. How is he behaving badly? Because he's calling Chris Christie a fat pig? Yes, that's very, very unholy. I don't know. He's just behaving badly.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I hear stuff like this. There was... I have a couple of clips coming up, and it's the same thing where they just throw this stuff out there, and it's just like, what are you referring to? What specifically is he doing? It's just one... Now it's just like, what are you referring to? What specifically is he doing? It's just one, now it's just one of those generally accepted things. Well, Trump is just, you know, the whole rundown, racism, misogynist. I had a friend, a friend of mine called me and they're talking about how,
Starting point is 00:21:57 I don't know how they can support Trump because he's lying all the time. I said, what are you talking about? Well, he said that Jamie Dimon is supporting him and Jamie Dimon came out said he wasn't supporting him. So that's somehow, and even though that could not be, interestingly enough, Jamie Dimon could be supporting him, you know, he could have said something to Trump and Trump assumed he was supporting him. Well, Trump, you know, there's rumors that he wants him to be the Fed chair or secretary of the Treasury.
Starting point is 00:22:30 So it's possible that, you know, it's just, you know, one, these aren't the kind of lies that are important. If it's even a lie, this is like the 30,000 lies that were documented during Trump being in office and half of them were Trump said 15 when the number was 16. Oh, he's a liar. He said 15 when it's 16. You know, he's just this kind of these and they just accept it as a norm and to say that he's behaving badly.
Starting point is 00:22:59 What specifically? I have a couple of clips coming up that I'm going. It's the same thing. They just throw this thing in. They never document it. They just throw this thing in they never Document it. They never did just say it. Well, so what what got my attention on this is some persecution Complex and therefore the Christians are like well, we can just bring the devil in that's no We just bring in Satan to beat down Satan or some and it's the logic escapes me of what he's saying Because they look at him and say well in Satan to beat down Satan or some... the logic escapes me of what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Because they look at him and say, well, no good Christian man is capable of protecting us in the way that he is, right? And so in a way, it almost liberates him to behave badly and to say whatever he wants and sort of just creates this ongoing relationship where whatever he says and does, his support remains that he okay So then so then this guy's thumbing through his Bible is oh, I got one. I know I know I know who he is He's the badass gunfighter who becomes they give him the badge Yeah to be the sheriff even they know who he is or he's Cyrus. I've heard that Cyrus explain that one to us who is Cyrus in the Bible?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Yeah, Cyrus is the Old Testament Persian king who allows the Jews to go back and rebuild the temple, right? and and the idea being that he's not one of them, but he protects them and and that Trump in his own way Although certainly you do have a subset of these folks who believe that Trump actually is a Christian that he he had a born-again experience in the White House, that Mike Pence led him to Jesus in the White House. Yeah. That's funny. Which would make the events of January 6th... I mean, if someone had led me to Christ, I feel like I'd probably try to help them if they were, you know, in danger at the Capitol.
Starting point is 00:24:41 But set that aside. But most folks, I think, are pretty clear-eyed about who Trump is. They're not under any illusions about him being a Sunday school Bible reading guy. It's just that they view him as someone who's capable of protecting them from a culture that has slipped away in a country that they don't recognize. This is very strange because if you look at the core issues in America that this guy's and Bill Maher is just skirting, it's abortion, it's transgenderism, and it's borders. That's really the only thing that people care about, but this guy somehow- And the economy.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Well, yes, but you know, Christians, they all got money, they're all loaded, it's not a problem. Oh, yeah. And by the way, this is only white Christians, black Christians don't count. I think it's important to distinguish real persecution from manufactured persecution. So, he's back to the persecution thing. And this is the best part of this interview. What's he talking about?
Starting point is 00:25:45 Well, that he believes that Christians, evangelicals, whatever, advertising, that they feel persecuted and that that is why they want Trump because Trump will set them free somehow. That's his whole thing. You know, we've got Cyrus from Persia and he protected the Jews. Like, what are you talking about? Right. So, you have Christians all around the world in China, in India, in Sub-Saharan Africa. Yeah, they're really persecuted, okay. Who could never conceive of having political power, of cultural influence, of any sort
Starting point is 00:26:21 of privileged status conferred upon them because of their faith affiliation. And in some way, that helps the Christian movement in these areas to thrive and to be sort of organically strong and authentic. In Iraq? Are you kidding me? We're all sitting around going, hey. Most of them have been rousted, they're gone.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Not idiots. The American church, it's obviously a very different story in part because Privilege and status and power is all we've ever known and so now when you see the demographics beginning to shift slowly But they are shifting and when you look at the prospect of what is a post-christian America look like? What does it represent? I think to a lot of these folks here in the white evangelical movement certainly the world that I came out of A lot of these folks here, in the white evangelical movement, certainly, the world that I came out of, they perceive it as a very real threat to them.
Starting point is 00:27:08 And they're desperate to sort of hold on to what they have. But I think the story of Christianity, to your point, is about real persecution and how your faith is strong enough in the face of whatever those challenges are to persevere. But we are at a stage now where we're sort of manufacturing these threats in order to justify the ways in which we treat people who are not us. This is completely bizarre what this guy is saying and Bill Maher is like, oh yeah, oh
Starting point is 00:27:35 yeah. I don't even understand what he meant by that last comment. Well, all that I think he's trying to say is that we're in post-Christian America, which, I mean, we're certainly not in post-faith America. If you take all the different faiths in America, it's probably 75%, 80% believes in something, including Islam. But this guy, he thinks that the American church feels persecuted, whereas I think he's got it wrong. What happened is the American church woke up during, not all, but a portion of it woke
Starting point is 00:28:12 up during COVID and went, hold on a second, the government just shut us down. This is a much bigger issue, it's not about persecution, this is the actual fundamentals of our country. And that's in this final question. You know, everyone has a different definition for Christian nationalism And that's part of the problem because we don't know exactly how to define it Just call them KKK is easier To me Christian nationalism is really just the marriage of bad history and bad theology
Starting point is 00:28:37 Here we go And one is a prerequisite for the other Once you've gone around to the school boards and the legislatures, once you have changed the curriculum, once you have rewritten history, literally rewritten history books, to convince people that in fact, this was born to be a Christian nation, that in fact, the Establishment Clause
Starting point is 00:28:58 and the First Amendment, that those things were sort of an elaborate three-dimensional wink and nod from the founders, that they really did want for us to be an explicitly Christian nation governed by European Christian men and that they were fine with an eventual theocratic takeover of our governing institutions. Bill, one time… Can you believe this? Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Dude, have you read the Declaration of Independence? Have you read the Constitution? Have you even looked at the people who signed it? They're looking forward to the theocratic takeover. What trend line is he talking about? I have seen zero evidence of this. If anyone would be a Christian nationalist would describe as such, it would be you, not me. Yes, completely. And I don't see any evidence that you're a Christian nationalist. I am though. Of course I am. Of course I'm a Christian, of course.
Starting point is 00:29:51 I don't know what he's defining as a Christian nationalist. But yes, it's the establishment clause that all comes down to this. They are afraid for some reason that the, and this goes back to that crazy guy about the IBF in Alabama. I'm going to preface before you say what they're afraid of. Let's start with the premise that we're dealing with out and out atheists. Yes. Bill Maher in particular. And then this guy is an obvious atheist.
Starting point is 00:30:20 And they're promoting atheism, which is, you know, you can promote whatever you want. That's the point of free speech yes and it and but let's not give you let's not make it more out of it than atheism which is what we're dealing with here and it's fine you want to be an atheist it's your business right but what he's trying to say is the danger here of the Christian Nationalists is they they believe that the government should only be run by Christians and that everyone needs to pray every morning. And it's insanity.
Starting point is 00:30:56 It's insanity. And taking the establishment clause of the First Amendment and saying, oh yeah, they want to make sure that we can get in and they can run the whole thing like a church. But it's exactly the opposite. This guy is accusing people of that of which the atheists like him are guilty of themselves. They finish it up. And that they were fine with an eventual theocratic takeover of our governing institutions. Bill, once you get to that place, where you accept that piece of history as being true, then suddenly the way that you read scripture
Starting point is 00:31:29 is very different and it becomes very easy for you to distort basic theology, the ways in which Jesus commands us to look forward to a kingdom that is not of this world. You begin to think that actually that kingdom is in this world, that it is here, it is now. What? How did he go from A to B?
Starting point is 00:31:46 I don't know. It was completely bizarre and fear-mongering over nothing other than Christians. They might, might, might, maybe might, we might get 10% more to vote this election. Maybe. This is all it's about. Of course. This is just about scaring the dumb dummies out there. maybe might, we might get 10% more to vote this election. Maybe. This is all it's about. Of course. This is just about scaring the dummies out there. Of course.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Into believing this and that's going on and Trump's somehow gonna be part of it and he has to be stopped. So we can put in an atheist like Kamala Harris. Yes. Who's a dummy. Whereas I can tell you the only thing the Christian nationalists are really talking
Starting point is 00:32:25 about is a spiritual war between this guy, evil, and good. That's it. That's it. Anyway, I just thought it was kind of interesting that this is, the fear is sad in a way. Anyway, what you got? What do I have? You said you had a series of clips. I didn't expect you to throw it to me out of the blue. I mean, you said I have a series of clips right after this.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And so that's why I was- No, I said I had the Trump clips. I got the shift clip. I got, you know- Okay, well then I have some serious Trump clips, kind of serious. Well, please play. I will respond to these clips
Starting point is 00:33:03 and then maybe I'll come up with something. Yes, he was on Maria Bartiromo. And, you know, Trump. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I missed that. Not on her, but on her show. And hey, hey, oh, you made some news in your Detroit speech with news proposals, but I want to get your take on your economic policy first debt and deficits, because you've said you want to eliminate taxes on tips, eliminate taxes on social security, on overtime pay, ending the double taxation of Americans living abroad, a proposal to make car loans
Starting point is 00:33:35 interest tax deductible. That was said. You said that in Detroit. You even introduced this 15% corporate tax rate for companies to produce in America and hire American workers. So far I'm like, yeah, let's do all that. I didn't know about the car loan. Yes, that's new. That came, I think maybe been introduced at Coachella. He does make a point at Coachella. Another thing he says, which is something I've been saying, I don't understand how you can run for the presidency
Starting point is 00:34:06 and promise tax increases and hope to get support. No, you can't. Which is what Kamala's doing. I'm going to raise everybody's taxes. I'm going to gouged the rich and gouged everyone. Vote for me. It doesn't make sense. I think the idea of making your car loan tax deductible is genius. It was always deductible until 1986. Oh, who changed that?
Starting point is 00:34:36 Reagan. Why did he change that? We were out of money. I have no idea. It was during some period where it seemed like a good idea at the time and no one ever reversed it. Well, I didn't know that. But now that some people are paying 9% and 10%,
Starting point is 00:34:53 you look at the car commercials. The lease is amazing. This will only cost you $4.99 a month. And then you freeze the frame. You look at the bottom with an $8,000 down payment. Okay, that seems like a good deal. You have to, by the way, this is the reason you want to get a 4K TV, what you just said.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Oh yeah, so you can see that stuff. So you can read the fine print. I don't want to go off the topic, but I just want to say the fine print, have you seen those ads where they say, oh this is for, you get a special phone, they give you a free phone and it tells you what you're saying. So you can hear Johnny the baseball player.
Starting point is 00:35:30 This is like the, so Medicare scam. If you read the fine print, the whole thing, they, they route the call through India and some guy listens in on the call and types in what he says. It says very clearly. So it's not actually technology. It's just a... No, there's no technology involved. It's a five dollar phone or three dollar phone because it's just a phone with big big buttons and then... Well it's also got a screen that you can read from the screen. Oh okay, wow. So there's no AI, huh? No, it's just some guy. Some guy, okay, So there's no AI, huh? Hmm. No, it's just some guy some guy. Okay
Starting point is 00:36:14 Does it say that some guy in India might as well say some guy some guy some guy in India's typing this out for you Granny, but how will you pay for it? The Committee for Responsible Budget says your plans will increase the debt by 7.5 trillion dollars, but they don't know that Wall Street Journal said that your plans will increase the debt and deficits more than Kamala Harris'. If I do this, you're going to have car companies coming back to the country because of the taxes and the tariffs. The tariffs will protect them when they come in. So they will protect from other companies coming in because if the other companies don't come in, they're going to have to pay massive tariffs.
Starting point is 00:36:45 And that's it. So I was told here's what was happening. China was building massive car plants, big car plants in Mexico. That's the new one. And I just spoke to the man that does it. He's a friend of mine. And I said, how's it going with Mexico? What's happening with the car plants?
Starting point is 00:37:02 He said, sir, they've totally stopped. I said, why did they stop? Because they think you're going to be elected. As a friend of mine, John, whenever I call you, I want you to say sir, okay? Because I think that's very reasonable. It's very reasonable if I ask you a question as a friend. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:37:19 All right. So how are you going to pay for it? So I'm just trying to understand how you're going to pay for all of this no tax on stuff. And you said that there's a lot of fat in government that you're gonna save money. No, I said, I gave you an answer, growth. We're gonna grow at a level that you've never seen before. And we're gonna have tremendous jobs and we're gonna have companies coming in left and right and they're gonna build building factories They're gonna take over empty hulks that are all over the place from companies that left. But you've also said that there's a lot of fat in government that you would want to slip down.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Incredible fat. So what agencies would want to slid down. Incredible fat. So what agencies would you want to shut down? Well, let me have you ask another person that because I'm going to have Elon Musk. He is dying to do this. You know, he's a great business guy, actually. You think of him for science and rockets and every time I think he's telling me about a new screw that was developed, he's developed a new screw, screws are difficult. Wait a minute, John, have you heard about the new screw?
Starting point is 00:38:10 No, I have not heard about the new screw that he's developed. It may be a loose screw, but there's a new screw apparently and it's amazing this screw. It's the most beautiful screw. It screws like no one else can screw you. Every time I, he's telling me about a new screw that was developed. He's developed a new screw. Screws are difficult and it's made out of titanium. By the way, screws are difficult, just so you know. It's a new screw.
Starting point is 00:38:41 It's an easy screw. Listen, Elon's an easy screw. Developed a new screw. Screws are difficult and it's made out of titanium and it's so exciting but you know what? That's so exciting. He's a great business guy and he's a great cost cutter you've seen that and he said I could cut costs without affecting anybody. So he will be in the cabinet.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Not in the cabinet, he doesn't want to be in the cabinet. He just wants to be in charge of cost cutting who have a new position, secretary of cost cutting. Okay. So he's not in the cabinet, but he's the secretary of cost cutting. Okay. Yeah, this needs to be fleshed out. Okay. So I'm just going to take a little sidestep on Elon and then we can get off the topic because a lot of people looking at his Starlink
Starting point is 00:39:27 that he's been giving away to the hurricane victims, particularly in Northwest, in West North Carolina. By the way, shout out to Bruce. Bruce is 72. He's been without power for 17 days. So I sure hope he gets his power back. There's still a lot of bad stuff going on up there. And so now everyone has seen that these Starlinks that he's been bringing in, you still have to buy the equipment. It's discounted. So instead of $400, I think it's $299. And he's only giving you a month free. No, he said free till the end of the year. Oh, okay. Well, every report I saw was a free month.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Yeah, no, it's free till the end of the year. All right. So, you know, okay. And then I was thinking, you know, and I got this clip from Mike Benz because he said something really interesting on the Sean Ryan podcast. All of this stuff that Elon does is really irrelevant compared to Starlink. Starlink is really the main business. When I look at this deal that he's giving to the people in North Carolina, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:40:43 the US taxpayer paid for this. This is a military system. We can all pretend it wasn't a military system first, but it was. It's always been a military communication system that has a sheen of consumerism over it, which is the same as Tesla. You know, Tesla was, oh, look at this beautiful, everyone loves this, they're so sexy, they're so great, they drive themselves, but it really was part of the climate change agenda. And it really furthered the climate change agenda for many years until people are now probably a little less happy about them. So Starlink, for my money, they should be giving it away for free for two years to these people because we basically paid for it the way I see it.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I don't have physical receipts, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Now, everyone loves Starlink. I have it as a backup. You're considering it as a backup. So that really means that there can be a single point of failure. There can be a single point of censorship, which I don't expect, but there certainly can be a single point of surveillance. And Mike Benz and Sean Ryan diving-
Starting point is 00:41:55 Would that be different than the single point of surveillance of that building, the AT&T building in San Francisco there on whatever it's straight fourth street? Yeah, I think it's a little different because- Or the NSA operation in Utah? Well, yes, I think it is. I mean, this is a much more direct, you're directly connected. You can target, okay, I need to listen to that guy. Boom, tap into that guy. I think it's a little easier actually than... So first AT& know, they were making a whole copy of the internet and the NSA, I mean, they have to record everything that you go back and try and find it. In this case, it's very targeted, like, oh, I know where Dvorak is, let's see what he's
Starting point is 00:42:35 doing. So I think it is different. So now we go to the Brazil thing. Why did Elon buckle to the Brazilian government over X? It was really about Starlink and it starts to come together when you hear this. China is has just launched this new SpaceX competitor that just recently put its first constellation of its of its satellite mega project in play and this Starlink competitor,
Starting point is 00:43:06 Starlink market killer is something that I would not be surprised if Brazil pursues as a Starlink substitute. Lula hitched his star to China. Bolsonaro was very hostile to Chinese soft power and Chinese investment in Brazil. And Lula, who again was backed by the US State Department, they wanted him to win.
Starting point is 00:43:31 They sick the State Department, the CIA, and the DOD on Bolsonaro to, you know, to warn him against questioning the election. They didn't do that to Lula. And again, this whole censorship apparatus was set up by the State Department and USAID to kill Bolsonaro's political support. So they wanted Lula to win,
Starting point is 00:43:49 and Lula has reversed decades of China hostilities, and immediately, as soon as he got into office, declared that effectively China is the linchpin of Brazil's new economic development plan, that they're gonna be a long-distance part of Brazil's new economic development plan that they're going to be a, you know, a long distance part of China's Belt and Road initiative. And they're, so they are now pitching their start at China, which means- Who is this guy?
Starting point is 00:44:15 Mike Benz? Well, that's Mike Benz. Okay. ...need China's, they're going to do favors for China, for China to do favors in kind. So I didn't know that China had launched a new Starlink competitor. And when you have a country like Brazil, which has geopolitical, geostrategic importance to us. Yeah, we want to have Starlink be the pipe in. We can't have the Chinese doing that.
Starting point is 00:44:41 There's something up with this, isn't it? There's something up with it, isn't it? A short. There's something up with it, but I'm not seeing it's going to, that technology on Starlink is so screwy. Screwy? What do you mean screwy? It's a screwy technology if you ever examine how those antennas work, because it's a moving target.
Starting point is 00:45:04 It's constantly moving. There is no fixed satellite. It's not like a satellite, any sort of geostationary satellite that sits there and you just go back and forth, even though you can't do fixed satellite at low orbit like that. It's moving. It's a moving target.
Starting point is 00:45:20 And the antenna that you're using at your end has a bunch of little antennas that have, that essentially target the movement and then follow it and then pass it off to the next one. It's almost like kind of a virtual cell phone system as you're driving down Highway 5 and it keeps changing cells. It's doing that in real time
Starting point is 00:45:43 with a satellite moving at high speeds with an antenna array that's in that dish of yours that is just screwy. It's a crazy idea that anyone could even pull this off. That in fact that it works is a miracle, it seems to me. Yeah, it seems like a perfect something that Elon Musk could develop. But the Chinese, I don't know if they can do that. Well, all I know is that there was a huge fracas at the beginning or a couple months
Starting point is 00:46:10 into the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and Elon Musk apparently didn't turn on or it was turned on. We don't know who turns on or who turns off. So when you have militaries or paramilitaries or terrorists, anything that we might happen to control, you know, we want to make sure that they can use the internet and encrypted or not, whatever they have this communication system which kicks everything else's ass compared to these sat phones and the you know, 9600 baud communication you get this
Starting point is 00:46:42 is an amazing new thing and you know we can't have China up there taking over our business or even worse knocking some of these satellites out who knows who knows what you can do is it another 45 seconds I would not be surprised if part of what's happening right now with tack with taking out Starlink is an attempt to do either a favor, directly or indirectly, for their new Chinese partners or to supplant Starlink altogether with this new Chinese competitor
Starting point is 00:47:19 who is looking to get market reach and capturing the 10th largest economy in the world would be incredible as a beachhead, not just in Brazil, but also in all of South America. But this also begs very strange questions about why it is the US State Department so vociferously backed Lula, when Lula so vociferously backs
Starting point is 00:47:52 China. So there's a lot of things at play here and somehow Elon is a lot of things at play if any of this is true Correct. I have no idea if the Chinese system is is real or not I'm well not only that but how much the State Department back Lula and how much did the State Department want China to go into Brazil? That doesn't make any sense at all. He's done a lot of deconstruction of that. I mean, he has done a lot on that. I mean, Mike Benz was in the State Department. I think his problem is he does stuff like this, where he said, oh, it's like this, and oh, but you can go look at my ex post,
Starting point is 00:48:20 and you can watch for an hour and a half, and you understand exactly what they did, which is his problem. It is very hard to just kind of distill it down. But my overarching point is Elon is important because he is the public face of our rockets, the Starlink, which is just a military system. And it's important when you connect people, connection is protection, when you connect people, that brings economic prosperity. It's undeniable.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And the more bandwidth, the better. So Trump, coming up with this, oh, I'll have the Secretary of Cost Cutting Okay Well, that'll be the day Can you see that? Yeah. Well that yeah, we've only heard those promises since everyone's lifetime. Yeah. Yeah, right So anyway, I mean this began with Hoover What did Hoover say same thing? Oh, we're going to shrink government. It's been growing ever since.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Yeah. Elon can come in and do it in a day. He's going to stop the war in Ukraine in a day. Yeah, vote for me. This is what I mean. Everyone's going crazy. And then you know, we'll see Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan is going to determine the winner of this election. Everyone knows it.
Starting point is 00:49:53 That seems unlikely. I think I'm most people are pretty much made up their minds of what they're going to do. I as far as I can tell. Well, except for the black men, the big, beautiful black men. They've now finally come out. If they actually go and vote, that'll make a difference. This is what Mo has been saying for as long as I've known him. Yeah. Yeah, that's one of his basic thesis.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Yeah. Let's listen to this little NPR report on voter fraud by government. Okay. The Justice Department is suing the state of Virginia over a program to remove voters from its election polls. In the lead-up to this November's elections, if DMV records don't indicate U.S. citizenship, federal law prohibits purges from voter rolls within the 98 period leading up to an election. The system, put in place by executive order by Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, has already faced lawsuits from
Starting point is 00:50:47 immigration rights groups. Youngkin calls the suit politically motivated. The DOJ recently filed suit against Alabama over similar voter roll purges. Hmm. I got a note from one of our producers. He says his sister, I think his sister and his mom live in California. And his sister and his mom live in California and neither of them got their ballot in the mail. And he says, that's the first time it's ever happened. There's something this, I mean, obviously there's my reply to him was yes, everybody's cheating this time around.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Hello. Oh, I did this time around. Hello. Oh, I did it. Hello. Hello. You did it. Yes, you did. I can't help. I can't help.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Everyone's cheating. Hello. It used to be so good at stopping yourself. I'm slipping. And you've lost it. I've lost my... I can't do it. I keep saying the W word from time to time as well.
Starting point is 00:51:47 It's so prevalent, so prevalent everywhere. They overdid it. They over did it. They had a dream about that. You had a dream about the W word? Yeah. What happened? Yeah, we were having this competition, the two of us,
Starting point is 00:52:02 and I had stopped saying it, and you couldn't stop saying it. It was a strange dream. Somebody once, I remember I was working as an inspector for Trailmobile and some guy said- Wait a minute, wait a minute. Trailmobile? Yeah, Trailmobile.
Starting point is 00:52:17 This is a new story. I don't know anything about Trailmobile. I think it's been brought up before. What is Trailmobile? Trailmobile used to make trailers and cargo containers for Matson and you know, that was I worked on the cargo container line. For trains or for trucks? For ships. Oh ships. Okay. You know those containers that are put on the back of a truck and It is the early days of it. This is when it first began when containerized shipping first began
Starting point is 00:52:44 They had a whole line there making these things. And this guy says to me, he says, hey, you know, I started dreaming about the job. He says, I now I got to quit. I said, why? He says, when you start dreaming about a job, you got to quit. It's just some rule. This is a bad omen. You have four more years.
Starting point is 00:53:01 I didn't feel good about it. You have four more years. You can't quit now. There's no quitting in podcasting. You can't more years. I didn't feel good about it. You have four more years. You can't quit now. There's no quitting in podcasting. You can't do that. There's no quitting in baseball. There's no crying in baseball. I can confidently say I don't think I've ever had a dream
Starting point is 00:53:15 that you were in. Well, good. Yeah, yeah. But now that you're a dream. You don't want to get lost in one of your dreams. But somehow you sucked me into yours. Yeah, well, it was just to humiliate you, I think, because you kept saying that word, the W word.
Starting point is 00:53:30 OK, OK. And your old men will have dreams. Speaking of containers, we're going to Chicago. One by one, people made their way up the tracks to raid this freight train parked at an overpass off Cicero and Lake. In all my years living on the West side, I've never seen an actual freight train parked over a viaduct where people are actually going into it.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yet, CBS Skywatch captured just that Friday, watched as folks grabbed boxes of TVs from the train cars and easily load them on top of vehicles waiting. People just kind of standing there in disbelief and awe like, oh wow, I can't believe this happened. Oh wow. Princess Shaw watched all of this unfold from her car. She snapped these images and immediately called 911. Gave 911 a call.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I'm talking to dispatch and they're like, oh yeah, you're not the only call that's been made. We've had several calls waiting for a car to get dispatched there. Police sources say CPD had to wait over an hour for Union Pacific officers to respond and secure the tracks, leaving ample time for more and more people to loot the train cars. And they were just opening it up like it was Christmas. Take a look at this video.
Starting point is 00:54:36 It shows the thieves holstering a TV from the tracks directly in front of a Chicago police cruiser. Despite lights and sirens on, these guys kept on with their illegal mission. It's not clear if officers were in the vehicle at the time, but radio dispatch reveals cops were not arresting when first on scene. Hey, squad, we just drove by Kenzie and Lockwood.
Starting point is 00:54:58 They're like a big group of people. They're still losing their train. But you said not chasing any of the drugs? They've already shown that they're not equipped already for what they did today. So if copycats come, they're not ready. If it took them an hour, we captured more people a few blocks away, scaling the walls, trying to get to other trailers even after officers arrived. Nothing but empty boxes, nothing but but just scattered everything
Starting point is 00:55:23 everywhere. The empty TV boxes littered Cicero Avenue, leaving many to wonder how they were able to pull this off so easily. How did they know where the TVs were? It's not like the freight trains are labeled. So it just leaves you, there's a lot of questions here that are left unanswered. This is an odd throwback to the days of Jesse James and the great train robberies. Wait a minute, wasn't there a similar story that we had on this show like about seven years ago? California, it was happening. It was during COVID. I thought it was in Chicago before COVID and I
Starting point is 00:55:57 thought it was Chicago. I thought it was California. But they were just looting, you know, some parked vehicles. Not vehicles, but trucks. Oh trucks. Cargo containers. Yeah, vaguely. This is a very strange story. Well, when you see the video, it's even crazier. I mean, there must be a hundred people. And the cops are just sitting there like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:56:21 This is train robbery. Can't have this. like, whatever. This is train robbery. Can't have this. Just strange. It's Kamala's fault. Just blame it on Kamala. No, Biden. That's what everybody seems to do. Blame it on Kamala.
Starting point is 00:56:40 All right, I'm leaving a gap open for you. I got some stuff. I got, let's start, let's start. I hate to do it, but I'm going to gap open for you. I got some stuff. Let's start. I hate to do it, but I'm going to pull Jesse Waters out of the bin. Out of the bin. Okay. As long as you say he's coming out of the bin, I'm okay with it.
Starting point is 00:56:54 He's coming out of the bin. There's a couple of good deconstructions. He did something on the show when he talked about Kamala's appearance on 60 Minutes and he has, I thought they brought some factoids out here. This is the 60 Minutes deconstruction that was on Jesse Waters and he starts off by playing a clip of her being grilled about something and then her comment and they did a follow up,
Starting point is 00:57:23 his producers did a follow up that nobody else has done. And if you think she was unprepared for the view, watch her on 60 Minutes. The first bill we proposed to Congress was to fix our broken immigration system. Knowing that if you want to actually fix it, we need Congress to act. It was not taken up. The rivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did? It's a long standing problem. And solutions are at hand and from day one, literally, we
Starting point is 00:58:04 have been offering solutions. What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place? I think the policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem, okay? But the numbers did quadruple. She can't even answer the question because she never tried to fix
Starting point is 00:58:27 the border until it was an election year. She claims she sent an immigration bill to Congress on day one, and it wasn't taken up. Well, prime time producers investigated because, from all we remembered, out of the gate,
Starting point is 00:58:41 Biden signed seven executive orders shredding Trump's border policies. We didn't recall a Biden-Harris immigration bill on inauguration day because Biden-Harris didn't propose a bill fixing the immigration system. We discovered they submitted an amnesty bill that would give citizenship to all of the illegals in the country. And part of that bill, you can't call them illegals, you have to call them undocumented. Newcomers.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Nancy and Chuck controlled the House and the Senate back then. No wonder they didn't take it up. It was political suicide. Yeah, Waters has been doing a lot of interesting things in the past couple of months, which is, you know, I kind of miss the humor. He used to be a little more goofy. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:59:29 He's trying to be, you know, he's trying to do good work. Yeah, stop that. Well, it's not him anyway. Let's, you know, this is all behind the, this is the producers and executive producers, the guys that really run the show and he just happens to be the front man. Now he had, I got two more clips from him. And this is when he had Kevin McCarthy on the show. And this really kind of, Kevin McCarthy is two clips here.
Starting point is 00:59:50 And one of them is- He's kind of two-faced. Kevin McCarthy has been on, stumping around. And I'm irked by the fact that he, the first time I heard him do, he was on a podcast. I didn't record it. But after I heard this, when he, on Waters, I kind of kicked myself because I have to tell you what he said on the podcast. He went on about how
Starting point is 01:00:12 he got kicked out of his speakership and he blamed the whole thing on Matt Gaetz. TK Oh, oh, that's right. I heard that. And then he even was talking about Matt Gaetz's underaged hookers or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. It was a dynamite podcast. It was a great podcast. The guy's going on and on in the end. He's just getting it out of him. McCarthy said, he said, and he expresses the following. He says, what happened was Matt Gaetz was in trouble. That some, one of the committees was investigating him because of all these
Starting point is 01:00:43 underage girls. And Gates comes up to him and says, Hey, Kevin, you're the Speaker of the House, can you help me out? And instead of McCarthy shining him on, instead of him saying, yeah, sure, oh yeah, I'll help you. He didn't do that. He says, no, I can't help you out. I can't do anything.
Starting point is 01:01:01 And so it pissed off Gates. And so Gates got together with, with, uh, with Mace, the, the female Nancy Mace, I guess is her name. And they got, they kicked, they managed to kick him out because of some rule. And he says, it's all because of, uh, of this, it was just not helping him on this investigation. And then the podcaster says to him, well, you,
Starting point is 01:01:29 so you speak to him anymore or you give friends anymore. Cause I know everyone gets together after stuff like this happens. He says, and then McCarthy says, no, I'm not talking to a pedophile. That's a slanderous, libelous. Not if it's, not necessarily. You can say the truth. So here he is on Jesse Waters. And the first clip is him talking about Kamala never showing up to meetings when he was in Congress.
Starting point is 01:02:01 He says they'd have a meeting, Kamala would show up when she felt like it. And I thought this was kind of revealing, but then this, the second clip where he comes back again with his complaining. This was what- We're going to play the first one though, right? Yeah, play the first clip and then I'll do the second clip. This was what remarkable, you would see respect when someone would hold the meeting up for, no, Joe Biden never waited for it.
Starting point is 01:02:22 He'd start the meeting even if she wasn't. So then she'd show up and you'd wonder does she know what's going on and only now and then she would interject But it was kind of like the person interjecting and you were 30 minutes late on that question. We already handled that section So she was late to these meetings. She wasn't prepared wasn't prepared Was that her fault because she said she had staff problems? I mean isn't it your responsibility to prepare yourself at a certain point? You know what your meetings are, you know where you're gonna go the next day. She's got all the staff in the world that she needs but no one will stay with it. 92% have left. This
Starting point is 01:02:59 backs up your theory that she doesn't want to be president because she's lazy. Yes. No, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it. Yeah. Yeah. She just assumed not get the win. She just benefit and then get out. So here he goes back into this that she can't keep her staff and I'll listen carefully to what he says as a kind of a, a kind of a little aside
Starting point is 01:03:23 that it is chicken shit, but it's part of this overall, I'm still irked about the fact that I got kicked out of the speakership. She's got all the staff in the world that she needs, but no one will stay with it. 92% have left. Everybody knows, whether you're Republican or Democrat,
Starting point is 01:03:39 it happens on both sides. Nancy Mace on the Republican side, nobody will work for her. And there's a reason why. Nobody will work for Kamala Harris, who's the vice president of the United States. Hmm. Why will no one work for Nancy Mace? He says, brings the right out, because she's one of the ones that got him ousted. He says, Nancy Mace is a good example on the Republican side. Nobody will work for her. That's odd. Why?
Starting point is 01:04:05 Well, maybe it's true. I don't know. Hmm. Nancy Macy, you know, you've seen her before. She seemed reasonable. I don't know. But there's definitely McCarthy is out for blood, but he does it so solid because he's got a smile on his face
Starting point is 01:04:19 and it's just everything's matter of fact. Yeah. And what's he doing? What is he doing? Is he still doing some? I think he's trying to get a job in the Trump administration. Hmm. Yeah, he's definitely shilling.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Because all he does is stumping for Trump. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hmm. What's this Band C stuff? You know, my ham funny bone got tickled when I saw this weather and band C, I'm like, Yeah, play band C, weather and info PBS. Clued Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican from Georgia, who claimed the federal government can control the weather. You know, Charlie Wurzel of the Atlantic has a great piece where he says,
Starting point is 01:04:58 No, it's not the clip. Now, this is about, um, Helene, Milton. It's about the weather, about Nancy, this is PBS. You played on the last show, I was gonna send you a note about these clips and say can you bring up some of those clips, at least the key clip that you played because what you did, you, we talked about this on the last show, this is all new, but we talked about in the last show about controlling the weather and you played a series of clips, you might be able to dig one or two of the important ones up, where it's our government who has made the claim that they can control the weather and you had some clips from I think the Johnson administration
Starting point is 01:05:42 or wherever they were from that just. That just kind of pounded this point home. But yet we listen to this PBS report where this guy, this Jeff. Would you like to hear the Johnson's cloud layer and ultimately to control the weather and he who controls the weather will control the world. The other clip I had was an overview of all the experiments the government has done and that was from France 24. It's a minute and a half. If you want to hear it, you don't have to. That's fine. We don't, I, well, maybe you can decide after we play these clips.
Starting point is 01:06:31 So I want to play these clips, these two clips about the weather. And, uh, I forgot why I call them bands. See, I think there's some other, I forgot that otherwise I would have sent you this note, but they have gone nuts about this. because of Marjorie Taylor Greene just offhandedly saying, hey, yeah, this is going on, which you proved in the last show. But oh, no, no, this is total denial now. This is bold.
Starting point is 01:06:59 She's nuts. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican from Georgia, who claimed the federal government can control the weather. Charlie Wurzel of the Atlantic has a great piece where he says this isn't just a misinformation crisis. It's something darker. It's a cultural assault on institutions and individuals that operate in reality.
Starting point is 01:07:17 How do you see this moment that we're living in? Well, one, let's just call it what it is. I'll call it what it is, not just misinformation and discipline. Hold on a second, stop. B and C is Brooks and Capehart. These are the two. Oh, that's funny. I look at your clip list and it says band C.
Starting point is 01:07:36 It says capital B, A, and D, and then capital C. And there's no space. Part of my codes. Well, your code is, I'm like'm like c band i wonder what's going on with c band this could be some cool like ham clip no no it's brooks and k park i got punished brooks and yes we're reading into things brooks and k part i have a bunch of their clips i'll play these and then it gets a couple more yeah they go off the deep end and this is like, oh, this is lies. But like I said, you already showed us that this is all coming from the Democrats that
Starting point is 01:08:11 were living there. Well, one, let's just call it what it is. I will call it what it is. It's not just misinformation and disinformation. It's lies. Lies that are putting people's lives at risk, that is tearing apart communities, people who are in danger, who are at the most stressful point in their lives, trying to outrun a hurricane and being told that your government is not where
Starting point is 01:08:36 you pay taxes, your government's not coming to help you, your government is giving money away to other people, all lies. And what makes this even more reprehensible is that Republicans who know better are not speaking out, enforced and en masse to say, this is not right, this is wrong. President Trump, please stop doing what you're doing. I give the governors of Georgia and Florida, the Republican governors of Georgia and Florida,
Starting point is 01:09:08 credit for saying the Biden administration has been very helpful pushing back against the misinformation. But I want Republicans to be more direct in saying who's feeding the disinformation and the lies and to hold that person accountable. I'd like to- to hold on a second. The governors of Georgia and Florida, DeSantis and the other guy, Kemp, I guess, they weren't pushing back on disinformation. They said they were just
Starting point is 01:09:36 cooperating with Biden. When were they pushing back on disinformation? I give them credit for pushing back on disinformation? I give him credit for pushing back on disinformation. What's he talking about? I don't know, but I need to add one other thing to the weather modification that they are capable of doing. And we've discussed this as far back as episode, I think 200, maybe even earlier than that. And this was the testimony in 1997 by Secretary of Defense William Cohen. And it's on the Defense Department's website. And I'm just going to...
Starting point is 01:10:18 So the question was, let me ask you specifically about last week's scare here in Washington, what we might have learned from how prepared we ought to deal with benign breath, is I guess some terrorist threat. And then he says, there's a whole bunch of stuff, it's a bunch of precursor. The same thing is true about, so this is the Secretary of Defense in 1997. The same thing is true about just the false scare of threat
Starting point is 01:10:38 using some kinds of chemical weapon or a biological one. There are some reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola virus and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon to say the least. Alvin Toffler has written about this in terms of some scientists, Alvin Toffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that will be specific so they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races. Sound familiar?
Starting point is 01:11:04 And others are designing, and others are designing sorts of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. canos remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So, come on. I mean, it's very valid to say they have this capability. They've certainly, they have certainly talked about it. Yeah, so Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't nuts. Well, she just does her research.
Starting point is 01:11:38 She's a little out there. She's a little kooky. Well, okay, she is nuts, or not. But in this case, it's a point. You can't condemn her for this comment because this week have it backed up. And it's been backed up by our own government. I mean, are you kidding me? This K-Part guy is full of it. And then he condemns everybody and calls lies, lies, lies.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Let's play part two. Is there any way back from this when we have this ecosystem that exists where people actually believe that the federal government can control the weather? Something as nonsensical as that. Seriously, I mean, it's an indictment of our time. Each party has to police their own side and Republicans have failed at that big time since 2015. I think the larger question for me is the rise of Donald Trump shows it's an advantage
Starting point is 01:12:22 to have no conscience. Know what? What do you say at the end? No conscience? It's an advantage to have no conscience. No, what? What'd he say at the end? No, it's an advantage to have no conscience. What I'm so Donald Trump is just a, what he's suggesting is a sociopath. It's a boob. Yes. No, that's no conscience is like a psychopath. Well, that's what he suggests. That's basically what he said.
Starting point is 01:12:43 I'm glad I brought that transcript back because I had either Long since forgotten that they were talking about pathogens that could target specific DNA. Hello. I did it again I'm gonna keep doing it now. Hello. I don't know what you can do about it. Nothing. This is the news. This is your earmark That's right. It's not that Adam Curry Adam, the hello guy is I'm going to have stickers, posters, going to have that made. So while we're on the topic of Donald Trump being a horrible man with no conscience, Lawrence O'Donnell could not resist and brought back an old classic. Where is the humanity? Where is the humanity? Where is the humanity? Donald Trump
Starting point is 01:13:28 seems to have none. None, he has no humanity. Not a shred of humanity. To have none, not a shred of humanity. Donald Trump said today that he believes that immigrants to this country are genetically inferior human beings. That is exactly what Adolf Hitler thought. Well, he's going to... Oh, Lawrence Lawrence brought receipts, man. He didn't say that exactly. He's got the clips. No, no, wait for it. It's coming. It's coming. But I just have to stop and he's bringing back the Hitler meme. stop and he's bringing back the Hitler meme. And he's, he's, so Trump did not say this. Trump said something else and he just said, he just said it.
Starting point is 01:14:11 No, this guy liar. Yeah. He believes that immigrants to this country are genetically inferior human beings. That is exactly what Adolf Hitler. Immigrants by the, all immigrants, immigrants everywhere, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, newcomers, immigrants, just immigrants. Tony with the deli on the corner, he's an immigrant, genetically inferior.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Thought and said, Donald Trump doesn't seem to remember that he is a descendant of immigrants to this country, including his mother who was an immigrant. He misses a big opportunity here to say that his father also comes from immigrants and he's German so maybe there's some Adolf blood in him. He missed that. Missed that, Lawrence. Where I'm surprised that, you know what, Doncha brought this call back up. I'm surprised that the Trump thing hasn't showed up again.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Coming. I'm sure it's coming. Let's continue. Two of the mothers of Donald Trump's children are immigrants. Yeah, but they're hot, okay? So, hot immigrants is not the same. Look at the jeans. Look at the jeans. They look fine. He said today, quote, we've got a lot of bad jeans in our country right now. There it is. That's what the whole deduction, the whole deconstruction
Starting point is 01:15:28 is from that quote. We've got a lot of bad genes. Hey, he could have meant Levi's. That's what I was thinking. He's talking about Levi's. They don't support him. What was the, what was the, what was the genes? They're baggy. What was the genes? We got, hey man, the inner city got some bad jeans going on. What was the famous one with the V on the back? Was it... Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt. And also wasn't it Sergio Valenti or something?
Starting point is 01:15:55 Oh yeah, there was a bunch of these jeans guys. A lot of jeans. And again, that is almost word for word what Adolf Hitler was saying in the 1930s before he started World War 1930s before he started World War II and before he started organizing. For what they didn't speak English, so how could it be word for word? And before he started and organized extermination programs. Jordash, that's it, thank you.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Jordash Trollgrass. Jordash, yeah. Jordash. Of the Jewish people in which Adolf Hitler's ambition was to execute every Louis living Jewish person he could find anywhere in Europe because among other things he believed the bad genes theory that Donald Trump believes and spews in his business madness and relentless, madness, madness, madness, relentless, madness, madness, and relentless stupidity at 78 years old.
Starting point is 01:16:50 No, he's old. We don't know how much longer the world will have to endure Donald Trump's hitlerian rant. Hitlerian. We should expect that for every year Donald Trump has left, he is going to get worse. It's only going to get worse. It's only downhill from here. Lawrence told you so. Wow. God, this guy is disgusting. Oh, he's great. He's great. I'm going to go back to Brooks and Capehart. I want to play, this is a Brooks and Cape one and this has got a little gotcha in here.
Starting point is 01:17:22 And I want, this is again again we have our guy the black ghost yes who's just drops a little bomb in here never explains it I don't and this is very common on this PBS news hour has deter has has deteriorated to such an extreme yes it's an embarrassment to journalism. Former President Barack Obama hits the campaign trail for Kamala Harris as the race for the White House enters its final weeks and Donald Trump unleashes a torrent of false statements and distortions about the federal response to hurricanes Milton and Aline. Let's turn now to the analysis of Brooks and Capehart.
Starting point is 01:18:02 That's New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Jonathan Kpart, Associate Editor for The Washington Post. This is where in my house, this is where we switch the channel. This is where we switch the channel, I'm just saying. Wait, where's the torrent of falsehoods and false, what is specifically is he talking about? He never says.
Starting point is 01:18:20 It's a torrent, it's a tidal wave, it's a tsunami, it's a tsunami of lies. And Jonathan Capehart, associate editor for The Washington Post. Great to see you both. Wobble, wobble, wobble. So the polls show a race that is as tight as ever, 25 days out from Election Day. And Democrats are doing what Democrats do best. They are worrying, they are fretting, that Kamala Harris's early momentum might have stalled. I want to start with your assessments of the race. David, you first.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Has there been a vibe shift? Oh, a vibe shift? Oh, oh. Well, I'm still waiting for the torrent of lies. What were they? I'm already past it. I'm past it already. It's bad genes.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Well, you get past stuff faster than I do. Bad genes. Well, you're a PBS guy from old school. You used to love PBS. You probably depended on them and thought they were, hey, believe me, Uncle Don and Aunt Meg, every night they would watch the PBS NewsHour. They did not watch NBC, ABC, CBS. The spooks of this world, they watch PBS NewsHour. That's a little inside info into the world of spookage. Yeah. Well, that doesn't surprise me.
Starting point is 01:19:30 And they used to all read Newsweek. I don't think they read Newsweek anymore. No, Newsweek is done. It's not owned by Salesforce guy. For Christmas, I get a Newsweek subscription from Don and Meg. There's coded messages in there, obviously. Yeah. And it did not work because I was more interested in Boy's Life. I don't know why. It's odd.
Starting point is 01:19:51 What? I'm sorry. What? I was more... Boy's Life, the magazine, Boy's Life. You never... You know, do you know about Boy's Life? Isn't that a Boy Scout journal?
Starting point is 01:20:00 Yeah. I was way into Boy Scouts and camping and... Were you in a Boy Scouts? I was a Sea Scout in Holland actually. Oh, a Sea Scout? Oh, they used to have that in the United States. I don't remember what happened to the Sea Scouts. Yeah, you did knots, lots of knots.
Starting point is 01:20:17 You learned how to sail. I learned how to sail. I can sail. I can do lots of knots. Yes. Knots! You can do a lot of knots. You're learning more and more today. I can do a slip knot in one second. There's a special technique. That's great.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Okay. So where were we on these three clips? Word number two. Okay, go. Has there been a vibe shift? Yeah. I mean, her momentum has stalled. She was going up, then she seemed to plateau. And I would say if you look at the polling movement in the last week, Trump is doing
Starting point is 01:20:54 slightly better, and I should emphasize slightly. And so he's doing a lot better in the Sun Belt swing states, in the industrial Midwest, he's doing slightly better, but again, very slight. So very slight. And so you'd have to think, you know, when I look at the results right now, where we are, and of course it could all change, I do think the decision not to pick Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, we could look back on that as a major mistake.
Starting point is 01:21:18 Whoa! And second, I think she made a mistake this week by not breaking with Joe Biden on a bunch of major issues. She was asked twice on two different shows, is anything really different? And she basically said no. And this is a country where what? 28% think the country's on the wrong track. Joe Biden has like a 41% approval.
Starting point is 01:21:34 It seems to me elementary act of politics. I'm my own person. This is how I would change. Yeah. I think we both said that's where she lost the election right there on that, on the view by going, well, you said it first and I will give you credit. You said it immediately that this is the election right there on that, on the view by going. Well, you said it first and I will give you credit. You said it immediately that this is the election. It's right there on the view. But you see what I do? I bring you into it and I say we.
Starting point is 01:21:52 No you do. That was very good. I thought that was nice of you. But I will, but I'll push it the other way and say you, you nailed it right away. Indian giver. I mean I have, uh, I thought about it, but I didn't make it determining at the level that you did. So you just have to take credit for that. Yeah, I will take it. And I think you're right.
Starting point is 01:22:16 I think you're dead right. I think that's the stupidest thing she could send. She was given a second opportunity and did the same thing. She just couldn't do it. She couldn't pull the... What was the second opportunity? Oh, she was asked the same question by, by, uh, uh, Cole Bear.
Starting point is 01:22:33 Ah, yes. Yes. Yes. And she did it, but she didn't have this, this goofy look on her face. Did she? Yeah. She, that's the look she has. That's her look. She's got a goofy look. Yeah. No, she dropped the ball twice. Just what, uh, Brooke's her look, she's got a goofy look. Oh, hmm. Yeah, no, she dropped the ball twice, just what Brooke said. Now, Kay part of course, it is the last of these clips. Thank God. He's, you know, he's a, he, yes. He is the, oh, you know, Kamala's the greatest thing,
Starting point is 01:22:56 she's a slice of bread, and you know, black males should all vote for her. And everything you said is wrong, because if it's disparaging about Kamala, she's the greatest. And so he defends her. Jonathan, how do you see it? The race today is the race as it was when she became the top of the ticket, as it was the night of the dreadful debate in June 27th, as it was in the months before that.
Starting point is 01:23:20 It's close. It's always going to be close. It was always going to be close. And the fact that Democrats are panicking, I mean, I'm not shocked by it. I'm annoyed by it because, you know, you can do all the panicking you want, but it's going to come true if folks don't get out and vote. And I don't know if I agree with there's been a vibe shift and, you know, she's plateaued and all this other stuff. I think that what's happening is reality is setting in.
Starting point is 01:23:50 It's going to be close. And this idea that she made a mistake in not picking Governor Shapiro, I just have to disagree with that strenuously. She picked Governor Walz. I think Governor Walz is a terrific candidate. And I think what she needs to be doing in this campaign is continuing to go out there and do what she's done all week this week. Going out and talking to people on the various shows and podcasts and everything.
Starting point is 01:24:18 And telling them, showing them who she is and what she's for. And what I found interesting is of all the interviews that she, Howard Stern interview was terrific, but I also thought her interview with Stephen Colbert was very good. And I was thinking of your column, David, in that in watching her in this interview with a comedian, I felt like you actually got to see the real Kamala Harris personality wise, but also what she stands for, what she believes in, in a manner that is more comfortable than when she's sitting before 60 minutes. Yeah, this is so now they're in a circular jerk-a-thon. Oops, sorry about that.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Because if you ask anybody, what do you think of the Kamala interview? Do they say, oh, you mean 60 minutes? No. Do they say, oh, you mean on Colbert's show who has I think a hundred, like 1.2 million viewers? No. Do you know what they all say? Oh, you mean on Call Her Daddy? These guys have no idea how over they are. They are yeah that's what that's all people are talking about is the cold call her dad and they probably didn't even view it they just think oh call her daddy oh you must be talking about her specialty. Well you're gonna bring that up I do have one screwball clip this is a from the Gutfeld show. And this is the... John's evening viewing.
Starting point is 01:25:48 We go from PBS NewsHour to the... There's no NTD. I don't know what happened. And then we go to Gutfeld. Yes. And then you go to bed. This is Gutfeld telling a joke that I thought was funny. And this is about the porn for Harris people.
Starting point is 01:26:06 The porn, you know, the porn's now, the porn people are for Harris and Gutfeld mocks it in a, I thought an amusing way. The porn industry has launched a $100,000 ad campaign in support of Kamala Harris. Makes sense. They're both known for sucking. Yeah, so I saw that. I'm sorry. Makes sense. They're both known for sucking. Yeah. So I saw that. I'm sorry. No, it's okay. I saw the campaign and it's very tired because it's all about Project 2025.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Like if Donald Trump is elected, Project 2025 will outlaw porn. Oh, is that what? Oh, yeah. I was unaware of the actual campaign. I didn't even clip it. It was so dumb. I saw it last week. Okay, fine. Oh, so the...
Starting point is 01:26:53 Oh, so the... That's what it's about. So this is a protection mode ad because they think this Project 2025 thing. And somebody pointed out that the Heritage Foundation has been doing this stuff since the 80s or not That's what they do Yeah, and then all of a sudden has been turned into a campaign point of information. I saw a clay burn clay born on CNN Clyburn Clyburn. Yeah, he's the he's the kingmaker. He's the kingmaker. You know, you get Clyburn, he made Joe the candidate. I mean, Clyburn has a lot of power.
Starting point is 01:27:31 He comes on whatever Dana, what's her face, horse face on CNN. Dana Bash, I guess. She was, sorry Dana. Donna. Donna. Donna. And. No no it's don don yeah donna donna dana dana donna donna donna hey dana and she says well are you worried he says i am worried and uh but people need to know that if you elect donald trump it's going to be Jim Crow 2.0 with Project 2025. Like, holy crap, that's all they have.
Starting point is 01:28:09 That's all they have. Nothing. They have nothing left. Nothing. They have nothing to say. And of course, it's not a close race because America doesn't elect presidents like Kamala Harris. It's just not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:28:23 Not because she's a woman, not because she's black. It's just she doesn't have the profile. Doesn't have the profile. Trump is a little old to have the profile, but you know, you get shot in the ear, you do the fight, fight, fight. That's the profile of America. And then you want to talk some gaffes. Let's just run through a quick couple of camela gaffes. This is the first one. quick couple of Camelot gaffes. This is the first one. And I also want to thank your father, Vice President Dick Cheney for his support and what he has done to serve our country. Every endorsement matters and this endorsement matters a great deal, Liz, and it carries a special significance. What he has done for our country, responsible for the death of American servicemen and women
Starting point is 01:29:10 in a needless war for oil and nonsense. That's who you're thanking, Madam Vice President? And then this was kind of funny. This was... Oh, wait. No, wait. No, this is before I get to the funny. This is the latest... Okay, we've got them now. Now we've got them. I've got a plan. We had a meeting. All right, time to do this, Madam Vice President.
Starting point is 01:29:37 Vice President Kamala Harris is in excellent health. That's according to a letter by her White House doctor. She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency. Which looking at Joe Biden isn't much. Despite no law compelling candidates to do so, Harris took aim at former president Donald Trump for not providing his own health history. So today I released my medical records as has, I believe every candidate for his own health history. There is very little known about Trump's health.
Starting point is 01:30:20 This includes after an attempted assassination in July, in which a bullet grazed his ear. His team has insisted the 78 year old is fit for the job without providing further medical information. You get the idea. So, oh, I know what we're going to do. You can hear all, you can just see the memos. It's time to attack Trump on his age. He's demented. He's demented. And Trump, of course... The demented part kills me. And Trump falls for it. He's like, no, no, it's called The Weave. People think I'm that.
Starting point is 01:30:50 Oh yes, yeah I heard that too. It's called The Weave. I'm genius at The Weave, I'm great at The Weave. He did the, what's it, the flagrant podcast with that comedian with the mustache, forget his name. which is, it's not a podcast I watch, but he was really personable, really good, very funny, you know, endearing at times. He talked about his kids and, and, and, and about being a father.
Starting point is 01:31:21 Um, you know, and then when he, of course, you don't see that cause it's on a podcast and then all we get of course, you don't see that because it's on a podcast and then all we get is, I got the weave, the weave. And then the last one for, you know, that podcast he was on with those four guys for comics. That's the one, yeah. Then with the weave, that's where he came with the weave. Oh, he mentioned the weave before, but he went into detail on the weave. He, uh, that was, I don't have a clip of it, but I was reading about how one of
Starting point is 01:31:50 the news organizations said that, Oh, Trump tried to explain how he, he's scatterbrained and they all laughed at him. No, no, no, no, no. I know. That's what I mean. It's just like, what, how are you interpreting this? Any of this stuff? These people are terrible.
Starting point is 01:32:08 They're terrible. I have a clip actually from that. And he said something which I found questionable. She is an add on that I'm against IVF. She knows it's untrue. She is an add on that bloodbath, bloodbath means like blood. That's not what I was talking about.
Starting point is 01:32:23 The automobile industry, it's gonna be a blood blood bath in the automobile. We're going to lose all our business. Yeah, that's what's referring to when they do things and they do a lot. But I always refer them back to the simplicity of McDonald's. You lied about McDonald's. You lied about many things and she's a liar. There should be some kind of a rule when they know it's a lie.
Starting point is 01:32:44 You can't do a commercial on it. Hmm. Okay. It sounds like censorship to me. There should be some kind of a rule about it. Now we're going to have to vet every single ad. Yeah, you're right. I think that was a blunder. I think that to me was blunderish, yes, for sure. Yeah, because it's just falling in line with the other side.
Starting point is 01:33:05 So then Madam Vice President is on a Zoom call with FEMA, and she's sitting at her desk. Oh yeah, this is a good one. I'm surprised you clipped it because it's... Well, I only clipped it because Sky News Australia, you know, the... Oh, that woman and her buddies, they're all just ridiculing everybody. Yeah. It's very funny stuff. Hey, Sky News Australia, you got enough problems of your own, but okay, we'll take this one. Now, I don't think they're right, and I think the way it played on social media was incorrect,
Starting point is 01:33:38 but it was funny. Kamala Harris made a bizarre gaffe during an FEMA Hurricane Milton emergency update broadcast which sent social media into a spin. The Vice President received a briefing from disaster relief authorities on preparations and weather forecasts for the hurricane. During the video briefing, Kamala Harris could be seen covering her mouth, appearing to relay a message to someone else through a microphone and earpiece. The VP mumbled, it's a live broadcast behind her hands. She then immediately took her hands away from her mouth and asked a question. Hey Ken, I have a question for you. You mentioned words matter and I know there is a lot of media following this briefing.
Starting point is 01:34:33 Commentators immediately blasted the VP, accusing her of being fed questions by aides through an earpiece. Commentator Charlie Kirk said, busted. Kamala is heard telling an aide who is feeding her questions that it's a live broadcast. She then asks the question she was presumably given. When you realize what a fraud this woman is, you can't unsee it. So yes, if you really look at the video, which I did in my 4k screen, she's looking off to the side of the camera and someone's motioning to her or maybe even holding up a sign for
Starting point is 01:35:12 all I know. I'm not into the, oh, she had a hidden earpiece. Get over yourselves, Twitter. Get over yourselves on the hidden earpiece thing. No, she's just that dumb. They slide notes to you anyway. I mean you get his aid there and they slide you some notes. Of course. They do it when you can actually see them. Yes, but this was the week where she also was doing a town hall with a teleprompter.
Starting point is 01:35:42 Last week the teleprompter went out and she had a brain freeze. I mean, that's the clip that's kind of amusing. I don't have it. I don't have it. Yeah, well, I can just... Do you have it? Did you clip it? No, I don't have it either, but I can just say what it was.
Starting point is 01:35:57 She says, we have 32 days until the election and then the teleprompter goes out. And then she looks around and goes... 32 around and goes 32. We got 32 days. She does it two or three times. She's like an idiot. She couldn't even, I mean she can't even break the third, fourth wall, whatever you call it and say hey teleprompter went out. Yeah. So I don't really have anything else to say right now. But it is amazing. I mean you can do a lot of things when the teleprompter goes out. I remember when I was on Tech TV. Here we go. Okay. When you do this I grab my coffee, I spin the stool, I cross my legs. Are these stories that long? No, no, no, no, no. Hey, people come for the media deconstruction.
Starting point is 01:36:47 It is a fact they stay for John's story time. Yeah, there's many stories. So I'm on Tech TV and this is the first time I said it because I was a prompter jockey on that show because I had different writers that wrote my copy but once Jennifer Lavin, my producer, started writing my copy she wrote in my voice and it was perfect. It was better than anything I could ad lib. That's what you want. That's what you want.
Starting point is 01:37:11 You want someone who can write for your prompter and someone who can roll your prompter. Yes, you want a good person. This is usually a different person. But you want somebody that rolls the prompter and they pay attention to what you're saying and then they roll the prompter. But when you get somebody who can write your copy, I mean, every once in a while you hear about people saying, well, I write my own copy. I write my own prompter copy.
Starting point is 01:37:31 I'm always thinking, why are you an idiot to do? That's dumb. That is dumb because it's like a skill. It's a real skill to write prompter copy. It is. It is. And so you find somebody who can do it. So they write this prompter copy. And so you find something that can do it. So they write this prompter copy and I got, and it,
Starting point is 01:37:47 when you're doing a live read, they give you the sheets with the prompter copy on it, the blue sheets usually, and then the prompter copy, and you read from the prompter and you, you're supposed to do something. I've now I've gotten pretty good at reading the prompter, but I never was good at doing the switch over cause I've never had to do it. And so, so the prompter and one once in four years, four years daily, boom, prompter goes out.
Starting point is 01:38:17 Yeah. And I'm it's live and I'm going, Oh, s**t. And so I looked down and I'm not doing what you see these guys do, which is what you're supposed to do is as you read from the prompt, you're flipping pages. Yes. So you're at the point where you can just, now you'd go from the prompter and you start reading the copy that is written out. That was the prompter copy. I didn't do that. I,
Starting point is 01:38:38 I didn't have to, I wasn't on the right page. It was a complete choke. It was like, Oh my, and it was just, I'm, I'm just blowing it. It was terrible. It was the worst experience in my, all the TV I ever done because I was not prepared for it because it never happened to me before. And it turns out a lot of times, I think you get until it happens, you think you know what you're doing until something goes astray. And this is what happened with Camelon when her prompter went out.
Starting point is 01:39:09 She didn't know what to do. And I felt kind of sorry for her because it happened to me. After that, a prompter like a year later went out again, but I had, because of that mishap, I had no problem going to the sheets. But it was like, it was the worst experience. It's just terrible. And you, it bumbling around and the, you know, it was even when the lights went out one time, it was easier to deal with. I'm so old and I've told this story before, but I'll do it again. At MTV, the way it worked is now I didn't have a lot of prompter copy, but for shows like
Starting point is 01:39:46 the Top 20 Video Countdown and we did the Week in Rock, it was scripted. And the way it worked back in the day, this is when the green screen was blue screen, we've talked about that, it was chroma key blue before it was green. That's how old we are. This was a conveyor belt that had a camera pointed down on the conveyor belt. And that camera was the teleprompter camera. And so they would send me the scripts at night with a car service because the fax machine would just be one long roll of fax that was completely unusable. This is before fax machines would cut the roll. It was a thermal
Starting point is 01:40:22 paper. And so they put the sheets under, and then they would roll, they would, you know, with the controller, they would roll this copy, which was just printed out from the wang. Is anybody getting the age here? The wang, word processor. The wang, yeah. And they would roll it underneath,
Starting point is 01:40:40 and the speed was variable. And we had two prompter people, one was John, and I don't know if he's alive anymore. And he was a challenged guy. But he was, he was one of these autistic people that was so focused and he was so good. And sometimes there would be a stand in for him and I forget her name, if it was Michelle or I know she was known for other assets. She was like, everyone's like, Hey, let's hang out, she was known for other assets. She was like, everyone's like, hey, let's hang out and play foosball with Michelle.
Starting point is 01:41:09 Wow, what was her name? But she couldn't do it. And it was just, oh no. Some people can't do it. She had the wrong, she wouldn't keep the right pace and everything. Oh, that's horrible. Anyway, that is-
Starting point is 01:41:21 Well, I would just add on to that. So I would also watch other people do their work and Leo Laporte was the more interesting of the group because Leo, and this, I never did this. I did a little bit, but rarely. Leo would wander off the prompter. I can do that too. I can wander off the prompter and come back. But the prompter guy would go nuts because it's like, what am I doing? You know, I, they don't know what to do. No, John, the artist could do it. He got it.
Starting point is 01:41:50 He would wait for it. That's a rare bird because most people, when Leo would go off, he was yakking about something or other. It's not on the prompter. He's just going and going and going. And this guy didn't know where to go forward or backwards or where was he? It was, and the thing would, was he? It was hilarious to watch. And I would sometimes think of Leo did it on purpose.
Starting point is 01:42:09 But maybe I rarely did that. Before we take a break, I just wanted to salute our many producers of No Agenda Nation. They are everywhere. I want to talk about Helene and Milton later because I have some boots on the ground reports regarding climate change and also regarding the climate haven that was Asheville we just have and this is part of the time we'll talk about them at the time town and treasure That we want in this value for value podcast where obviously we need treasure that we want in this value for value podcast, where obviously we need treasure,
Starting point is 01:42:45 we appreciate people who support us financially, but there is going to be a topic that you know about because it's your job, you're an expert at it, and maybe shooing horses for all I know, but it is your responsibility to reach out to us and say, hey, I happened, like a good example is, well, first of all, thank you everybody who said Tina Roberts was in Mesa, Colorado and not Arizona.
Starting point is 01:43:09 Yeah, we got a lot of that. I also got a lot of notes on the X-rays moving the meteor. And very good ones from people who are- The last one, which you weren't copied on, just came in this morning, was this guy has all the formulas and he says it would take a million years to move this thing with these X-rays. You can't get enough X-rays. We have a lot of smart people and I like the, uh,
Starting point is 01:43:33 anonymous from Ireland. I sell QPCR instruments, which were used to test for SARS COVID too. Oh, this, yeah, we have to read that note. Just listening to the latest podcast regarding Trump sending equipment to Putin. Back then, the exact same instruments Trump had access to were sold in Russia, whether our equipment or other brands. If Putin wanted one, he could have gotten one with no bother within Russia. So I call complete BS. Of course, since the war, most companies, including ours, have stopped doing business there,
Starting point is 01:44:07 some lovely Russian people who I'd met on many an occasion are out of a job. So Woodward's book is, of course, bullcrap. Saying, Oh, Trump sent over equipment. No, you could just buy don't say anything, because they'll get mad at you. Yeah, and then right it's glad exactly so a lot of people sent me this and I love it when we have our men and women who Who are in uniform who serve America the real people who serve America? Overseas and at home when they let everybody know it's alright. We got your back Hey, you crash in the ocean during a storm and you're floating on your plane.
Starting point is 01:44:49 We're going to pick you up. I'm with the Coast Guard and I'm going to let you know that I'm a part of No Agenda Nation. Lieutenant Chad Paulson was involved in that rescue and he joins me now. What happened here, sir? In the morning, thank you for having me. So basically we were... Yes! In the morning. Nothing's better than that.
Starting point is 01:45:05 Yeah, in the morning. And it's funny, it just blows by people because for one thing it makes no sense. No, that's the best part. But it's like, well, maybe that's a greeting. I'm not sure. Yeah. Now the cool thing is when somebody says in the morning, the other person says in the morning. Well, that's what you hear in aviation. You hear the pilot and then sometimes you'll hear
Starting point is 01:45:31 the tower reply because this is what it is. The smartest people who make the world run, listen to this podcast. That's just the fact. I don't know any I don't know any other and it's also because we don't insult them by you know running ads and telling them that the premium content is behind the firewall. Oh premium content, that's my pet peeve. Instead I'd like to say in the morning to you the man who put the C in the new screw, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only mr. John C. DeMora Good morning to you mr. Adam Crane. In the morning I ship sea boots to the ground, feed in the air, subs in the water and all the dames and
Starting point is 01:46:14 knights out there. Alright, running up cotton jits. We're gonna do a little count. Let me see how many we have. Chokey, 20 on that one. 2,204 at the peak. Trolls listening in. What was the number again? 2204.
Starting point is 01:46:30 Low. It's low by 200. All right. Well, we're glad to have you trolls here anyway. Thank you very much for listening at NoAgenda.Stream or TrollRoom.io, which is great because the trolls get in there and just roll with it. But without those trolls, I would have never come up with Jordache jeans. And there's some other insults that were in there, which is always fun. It's not distracting at all.
Starting point is 01:46:54 You want to say something? Jordache. Nothing comes between me and my Jordaches. I think that was the tagline. Oh yeah. Yeah. So the trolls can also listen on a modern podcast app, which believe me, you're gonna wanna have it.
Starting point is 01:47:11 The last show, people were so mad. About what? Apple hasn't updated, it's been three hours. But that's Apple. That's the whole point. We use this pod ping technology, which is a true technology, which is part of podcasting 2.0. And the modern apps, they update within 90 seconds.
Starting point is 01:47:36 So when we publish, boom, you got it. You don't have to sit around. And it was the best commercial for the modern podcast apps. Thank you, Apple. People were like, I got to get off this thing because you're behind the times. And in addition to that, you also do not get an alert on Apple or Spotify, or not on Spotify at all, or on Amazon or any other app that you're YouTube. You don't get an alert when we go live. No, you get that on the modern podcast app, the one where you're actually subscribing to the podcast. So if you can't listen live, no problem. We'll alert you as soon as it's published. And that's
Starting point is 01:48:07 usually within 30 minutes of finishing up the show, podcastapps.com. We explained the whole point of time, talent and treasure, and we do have some extra talented people known as the No Agenda artists who are busy during the live stream coming up with artwork that we can use just for the album artwork on the show, which we've been doing way before even, it's been the standard forever. Apple finally caught up a few years back, but we've been doing this forever.
Starting point is 01:48:40 And it's great because you can use it, we host the show and people promote the show and it's interesting and these artists are Dutch masters. So it's always fun to see what they come up with and we want to thank now. Thank you also to all of our artists. This was the multiple tornadoes with the cheesecake butt on the beach, which you said, I like it. I said, okay. And I got several, I received several messages of people saying best artwork all year. So, so when he blow it up and on like Twitter,
Starting point is 01:49:19 it's a good piece. It's gorgeous. It is now, Tom Staffel and then said cheesecake. It's gorgeous. It is. Now, Tom Staffel. It's a cheesecake. It was overall, it wasn't just the butt, nice legs, you know, just the back of someone. This is a good picture. I'm like an advocate of cheesecake because it's attractive and that's what you put it there for even though you have a bunch of people, you know, you have some certain groups of people that think it's exploitative. It's not who are we exploiting here? This is AI art. We're not exploiting anybody.
Starting point is 01:49:49 Who's being exploited specifically? And I'm all for it now. I want all as much slop to flow through the stairwells of the digital Tower of Babel as possible to make it unusable and unattractive. So keep it up, people. This is good. I'm now all for it more and unattractive. So keep it up, people. This is good. I'm now all for it. More, more, more. The Tanstafel, T-A-N-S-T-A-A-F-L, all uppercase, thank you to the multitude of
Starting point is 01:50:12 producers who said, dude, that's from science fiction author Robert Heinlein. And it's a theme in his writings. It is an acronym. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. And we didn't catch that. No, not at all. But we did now. And well, thank you. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. From now on, we'll just be tons toffle. Can't help it. We appreciate it. It was a great piece. It really was. It worked out well. We thought it was fun. There was an interesting article. Hold on a second. There was a Dutch study that was done. Let me see. Do I have it here? Yes. Study shows real art stimulates the brain more than a copy. And so, and the reason is real art, so actual art stimulates the brain more than a copy.
Starting point is 01:51:13 What's a copy? How does he define a copy? Scientists in the Netherlands prove that experiencing the real art in person stimulates the brain 10 times more than viewing a reproduced image. And so they took all these great Dutch masters from Noah Art Generator, but also Vermeer and Van Gogh. Vermeer is the one that they show in this article, which is the milkmaid girl with her head turned back. And so they hooked a bunch of people up to brain wave, the girl with the pearl earring, that's the one. They hooked up a bunch of people to brain wave machines. And when you're looking at the actual art live in the museum, your brain is stimulated 10 times more than looking at a copy, a reproduction of it in the museum on the wall
Starting point is 01:52:05 a copy, a reproduction of it in the museum on the wall, than the original, which I think is fascinating. Did they put a reproduction up on the wall in the museum? Yes, they did, they did. Now, which brings us to another interesting factoid. What about the artists? I'm not sure Vermeer was one of them, but most artists, Belasquez for sure, they had a team of people and they would do a portrait of
Starting point is 01:52:28 somebody, usually of somebody in the royal family, and they would be copies made. They'd hand it off. They'd have five copies and they were all identical. Well, that they did not study. No, because that would be the same. Maybe. It should be the same because the artists and the mentees, the proteges who did the same exact pieces, they were taught by the same artist and the brushstrokes were similar,
Starting point is 01:52:59 everything was the same, and they make these copies. There's plenty of examples around the museums of the world where a piece exists in three museums at the same time and they're all original. How does that work? So... Well, probably the same. I would say that those originals, I think the point is between an original piece of art versus the poster. The volunteers, brainwaves, and eye movements were measured and analyzed. The researchers found that compared to reproductions, real art evokes a much stronger positive response in the precuneus, which is the part of the brain responsible for personal identity,
Starting point is 01:53:39 memory, and consciousness. Which kind of brings me to the point that would this, I'd like to know is, does AI art have less of a response than original art, even though it's- Now that would be worth studying. That's the, I've already reached out to the museum. We've put up, which is a much AI art. Yes.
Starting point is 01:54:01 To that I must be a much- Be forgotten. For example, this particular piece by Scaramanga, who I don't know why is he submitting anything because he hates us. There's another clip being made. Yes. There's a piece, I mean, this is a piece that is quite striking when you see it, uh, especially blowed up. And I, it has a, it has an effect. So I don't know. Is this something that's new that's up?
Starting point is 01:54:34 No, his piece, this piece we're talking about. No, the piece with the tornadoes. That was not, that was not Scaramanga. Oh, that was Scaramanga. Yeah, it was Scaramanga. I miscredited him. Yes. Well, I didn't know you miscredited him. I did, yeah. It's just my mistake. I miscredited him. Well, that's, you know, he doesn't like you.
Starting point is 01:54:51 No, he loves me. This is, this by the way is- So, it's a very, some of these pieces have been quite spectacular. This girl is the only AI girl he has. He's the same girl. Yeah, well, this is the- It's the same girl.
Starting point is 01:55:04 These guys, they have their affairs with these. Their He's the same girl. Yeah. Well, this is the same girl. These guys, they have their, their, uh, affairs with these. With their girl. Yeah. He has, yeah. A couple artists have a girl and they keep using her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's kind of perverted. Do you think? Thank you to all of the artists who submitted art. We appreciate it. Everyone does tries and everyone has an equal shot. And of course, we're happy to critique wherever necessary. There really wasn't all that much. I kind of liked Dreb Scott had a hurricane, buttons with tsunamis, but compared to the Scaramanga piece, I mean, it was just a...
Starting point is 01:55:41 That was a work of art. It was a literal work of art. Was there something else that we liked? I don't think so. No, there's Kamala pushing her. That's Darren. Kamala... You make Darren look... Darren, your Kamala AI makes her look too good. That's your problem there. It doesn't look like her. No, it doesn't. She needs to be more Haggard looking. That's the key operator. Put the key word in there. Put that word in there. In the prompt more Haggard looking. That's the key operator. Put the key word in there. Put that word in there. In your prompt.
Starting point is 01:56:09 Haggard. In the prompt. Haggard. Haggard. By the way, we titled the episode 1702 Sloppenhopper, which... We got some notes about that too. Oh, did you get a note about Sloppenhopper? I didn't get a note about Sloppenhopper.
Starting point is 01:56:21 Oh yeah. Oh, you guys are deaf. Oh, it obviously said swap for copper. Yeah, I think we even mentioned answer. Oh yeah. Oh, you guys are deaf. Obviously said swap for copper. I think we even mentioned that, but okay. Yeah. But we did. You can listen and listen. It's like, you listen once. One person, one of our female listeners, you just, you dummies, you heard it. You say you listen 10 times. It was very clearly swapping for copper or whatever.
Starting point is 01:56:44 Did you start to note off with, I'm surprised. I'm disappointed. It only took me two minutes to look that up. We're doing stuff on the fly. I looked it up. I knew the answer right away. Do your own podcast. Hey, let's thank the executive and associate executive producers and many future Commodores who
Starting point is 01:57:06 supported us with the treasure for today. We, of course, appreciate any amount that anybody sends at any time for any reason, but usually sending value back for the value they receive for the show. And $200 and above for each episode, we read your note and you get an associate executive producership. $300 and above, we read your note and you get an executive producership. And these are credits that are completely valid in the land of show business. If people still care, just take a look at imdb.com where people post all their credits
Starting point is 01:57:37 and you can go look and you'll see that there are many people who are executive and associate executive producers of this very podcast, the No Agenda podcast. And if you didn't see the newsletter, you should subscribe to it. It's on the front page of every show notes because I posed with my Commodore papers. Yes you did. And got some comments from some people. I'm very disappointed. No one has put a Star of David on it yet or a Yamaka.
Starting point is 01:58:09 I'm very disappointed. No, I've gotten no comments. You even drew a mustache. Anything. But we did get a contribution from Mr. You did get a comment from Catherine in Cambodia or Thailand, wherever she is. But what did she say? Nice teeth. Oh, well, thank you. Thank you. I saved a long time for them. Mr. Black is in Rijswijk in the Netherlands, comes in with 526.36 and says, Dear John and Adam, what better to gift myself for my birthday, October 15th, you're on the list, than a No Agenda Commodore credential.
Starting point is 01:58:51 Thank you for your courage and keep on keeping on Mr. Black, who will become Commodore Black. Yes, especially if he goes to noagendarrings.com and puts in the details of where they send the Commodore certificate and what he wants to have on the certificate. A lot of people, we've only gotten probably half the people have. Oh, you got to do that people. You got to do that. Otherwise you won't receive it.
Starting point is 01:59:13 You got to do it. Yeah, because we don't know, you know, the exact same, the right shipping address and the exact way you want to spell. If I may, this, it is by far probably the most beautiful document we've produced. I love how it was shipped. It comes in a not a small but a large Your shipping no, it doesn't Know you got a special one in a tube The rest of them are put in these large Post-off

The point I was going to make is I love that there's tracing paper so it's protected. I'm sure you're doing that. That's the way they're all gonna be. And the seal, what is it?
Starting point is 02:00:03 Vellum. Vellum. Give me some vellum. I'd like five meters of vellum. The seal has blue ribbon, which is actual ribbon. It's a very pretty piece. And it's also got, it says on the seal, Commodore. Yes, yes, very, very.
Starting point is 02:00:19 I think, I agree, it's the prettiest document that we've ever produced. Jay designed it pretty much. And it's an official Commodore ship. Yeah. So it's a good looking product. It's an outstanding product as usual. Sir Sleepy also could get one of these $500 Commodore ships. He's in Gentry, Arkansas. And he says, this is a switcheroo.
Starting point is 02:00:44 He'd like to gift the Commodore title to his dad Larry Ehrenberger as his pontoon project boat has recently passed sea worthiness test. It is fitting that a newly commissioned vessel should have a newly commissioned captain. There you go. Commodore in this case. Commodore. You've done the great work and looking forward to four more years thanks sir sleepy of the late nights. All right switcheroo has been put in place. Ken Chapman is in Rosemont Illinois $500 in the morning gents as a Trekkie. The combination of 1701 shows and a Commodore ship was too good to pass. It's

Many thanks to Linda Liu for the new executive role. This is a testimonial. We are hosting another comedy show, Goat Rodeo at the Ranch in Arvada, Colorado on October 19th. Details at no agenda meetups.com. No jingles, no karma. Hey, that sounds like a fun one.
Starting point is 02:05:51 Comedy show goat rodeo. Huh? No, nice. Nice guys. Mike Sisto's in Rotunda beach, Florida. Two, three, four, five, six versus associate executive producer. And he says, Adam, as I write this note, we are recovering from Hurricane Milton here on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
Starting point is 02:06:08 Just wanted to say thanks for all the first responders and send prayers to those that were less fortunate than us, as we thankfully only took a glancing blow and had some minor damage. This is my yearly get your our wives out of jail donation. And I feel compelled to make that I feel compelled to make to ensure their release from the inevitable run-ins with the law in the great Smoky Mountains.
Starting point is 02:06:31 Yes, Tina is up with the girls in the Smoky Mountains. They are hiking. And this includes his wife. So, you know, we have a little club, a little club, and we all talk, we all drink beer and talk about our wives when they're hiking. Luckily, my wife, Dame Elemental of the Manasota Quay, was able to meet up with the gang only a day late to continue to reign of terror across the unsuspecting states.
Starting point is 02:07:00 So, you know, it was really, Tina was texting with her and they were kind of freaked out by the reporting, of course, and they were still there and they couldn't they couldn't get out because the highway was all jammed. They wound up spending the night with their dog in I think a school. There was some shelter and they went back. Their house was, I guess, OK. And she was able to get a flight out and she flew right up and and joined them a day later. So everything turned out good. And we're, of course, very happy that that you guys are OK.
Starting point is 02:07:36 Please earmark the donation for whatever you deem to ensure their freedom. Shout out to Sir Don from Arizona, as I'm sure he will be following up with a donation for springing his wife from the joint too. No jingles, but please send some karma to the Florida Gulf Coast. Thanks Mike. Yeah, thank you very much Mike. Here's for the girls. Get them out of jail. You've got karma. And there's Eli the Coffee Guy with an associate executive producership 21014. Thank you No Agenda Show. Your advice on getting my ham radio license inspired me.
Starting point is 02:08:11 It's been an action on my to-do list for the past few years, but as you said, what am I waiting for? Soon, I'll be able to use my Bao Feng without getting rousted by goons from the FCC. Can I get an eating the dogs jingle for producers who want fresh roasted coffee at an affordable price? They should just visit gigawattcofferoasters.com and use code ITM20 for 20% off your order. Stay caffeinated. Eli the coffee guy. They're eating the dogs. Casey Conrad in Pickering, Ontario, Canada, 201.99. Dear John and Adam in the
Starting point is 02:08:47 morning to you fine gents and thank you for your courage and all that you do. My name is Casey Conrad and I'm a longtime listener and a first-time donor. Please accept my donation to 201.8.99 in Canadian dollar rates for an associate executive producer title which is probably like $10 USD due to the Canadian dollar being so Bismilley bad. We honor your dollar it's actually 11 bucks I recently launched a new graphic novel titled PC Pete and the brood of clones Under my new publishing company called to cat comics this graphic novel pays homage
Starting point is 02:09:20 To all the oog computer nerds and geeks out there. I'm looking at you, John C. Dvorak, as all of my characters are computers, not robots, being in my 50s now. I wanted to create and share something with the world as my way of leaving a lasting legacy. I would also like to pursue this in a full-time manner and leave my stressful 9-to-5 jobs. I would love and appreciate any support I can get from the Noagenta Nation. I have two other ideas that I'd like to work on. To purchase a copy in either high quality PDF or print, please visit my website at 2catcomics.com or simply go to the amazon.com and search for PC Pete clones.
Starting point is 02:10:00 Please. I also need a deducing. You've been deduced. And give me some karma for this new endeavor. Thank you kindly in advance. You've got karma. You know, on just classic PCs, I watched a YouTube video last night. Did you know that they've brought back the Commodore 64 called the Commodore 64 X. And it's no and it's exactly the same casing. It has the same keyboard, but it it's it's it has like, I think you can get it loaded with Linux.
Starting point is 02:10:37 But it's you have to see this thing. They've done all the sound effects. I mean, it's it's mind blowing. You can load all the old games. It has em mean, it's mind blowing. You can load all the old games, it has emulators on it. It's really stunning. Yeah, real, just cause the guy brought up geeky old nerdy stuff. It's like, I need to get one.
Starting point is 02:10:54 I think I need to get one of these. Dan Richmond is in Alachua. Doesn't sound right. Alacua. Alachua. There you go. Alachua, it's in Florida. $200 and 66 cents, notes sent to Adam. I looked it up. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 02:11:08 Wanted to add some context on your coverage of Howard Stern. I was a long time super fan. Around 2013, he made a purposeful shift. Went from a small crew, a couple of writers to an army of staffers. We were talking about this on the previous episode. Dozens of writers, apparently about 70. 7-0. What? Yes. So he said, feared cancel culture and wanted to capture the MSNBC crowd, nuked his audience. Guys like me went from being devout super fans to hating him. Then COVID utterly melted his brain. I cannot think of any pop culture figure who destroyed their legacy like this. Now, he has he has a podcast called
Starting point is 02:11:47 Hebe and the Goy. Hebeandgoy.com. And he sent me an episode which he actually did with the Goy's wife because the Goy was off doing something. So it was Hebe and the Shixa. And they were both massive fans of Stern. And it was a very interesting, good deconstruction. And I'll give you my takeaway since we were talking about it. I think Stern always wanted to be like a Leno or like, you know, Jimmy Kimmel. He wanted to be super famous. He wanted to be with all of the celebrities.
Starting point is 02:12:21 And he didn't realize that having the ragtag bunch of idiots and the crew that he had was actually, it was the beauty of the show. And when he had the opportunity and had the money, and that's what part of that whole video that got leaked out, he actually was trying to put that together. That's why he got all these writers and he didn't realize that that was the appeal.
Starting point is 02:12:52 And he's always been a coward. And then, you know, COVID just, I agree, melted his brain. You had a, you had part of a theory about that, John. Yes. Well, his wife, because you've brought up, we went back and forth a little email exchange. The things we do. It's one of the rare things we do. We do communicate on occasion. And you said, well, it's his wife. And I looked her up and she's like, she has, she's a cat lady. Massive.
Starting point is 02:13:17 Massive cat lady. She's rescued a thousand cats. And so I had to conclude that there's no way that the two of them don't have a case of toxoplasmosis. Bing, boom, done. Which is what you will get from cats. And it's, it's a, it's a disease. It's a very strange parasite that you can get rid of with,
Starting point is 02:13:39 I think Ivermectin will clear it up. I'm not sure. Oh, the irony. That would be very ironic, but it causes. I'm not sure. Oh, the irony. That would be very ironic. But it causes all kinds of anomalies and it also affects the way you think. And for example, it's known that it probably exists in nature because mice who run into cat feces, that's where it comes from, will get toxoplasmosis. And they begin to not fear cats, which makes them easier to catch. Oh. So it's like a kind of a nature's weird little trick. It's a self-destructive virus, which is exactly what he has.
Starting point is 02:14:13 So I just think that toxoplasmosis may be in play here, because it just seems like there's something's wrong. Yes. And so heabendagoid.com is worth a watch. If you are a super fan and were disappointed, they lay it all out. It's an hour and a half. What can I say?
Starting point is 02:14:31 Tina's hiking. Last on our list is Linda Lepatkin in Lakewood, Colorado. How about that? 200 bucks and she's requesting off the wall jobs karma. And she says that for a resume that gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs. That's ImageMakersInc. with a K.
Starting point is 02:14:52 Or find Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes on the producer list. Four more years. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Yay! You got karma. NoAgendaDonations.com is where you can support the show with your treasure.
Starting point is 02:15:10 It is value for value. Time, talent, and treasure help us out. Keep the show going for more years, or at least until the new year. It would be fun to continue that. Thank you again to our executive and associate executive producers of episode 1703 of the No Agenda Show. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. They're eating the dogs.
Starting point is 02:15:52 I want to, you know, of course we've had these, these horrific hurricanes. I have a little follow up on what happened in Western North Carolina. Duke Energy is the big provider up there. The same Duke Energy who has left our producer, Bruce 72, in the cold. It's now below freezing at night in the mountains. It has 17 days. He needs some power people. He has water and he has food, so he's okay. But they're not being served up there. And it turns out Duke Energy is in charge of more than just the electricity. They're also in charge of a lot of the dams and the lakes and they're now being accused of some monkey business.
Starting point is 02:16:33 From the Catawba River in Charlotte. My heart is just fractured. To look out Shoals Lake in Claremont. Smells like rotting fish. It's sour smelling and it's just it's hard to breathe. Two communities 40 miles apart are connected by water. Both are at the mercy of the utility that controls it. Each shares their own sense of extreme loss and anger. Duke Energy fell asleep at the wheel, but actually they didn't fall asleep. They were wide awake. They didn't do what they should have done. In between the two sits Lake Norman. During Helene, Duke Energy records show the water
Starting point is 02:17:09 at the lakes directly above and below Lake Norman increased well above their licensed maximum levels, increasing by roughly 12 feet compared to the much larger Lake Norman, which barely and only briefly crested above its maximum, rising only about 3 feet. The communities where lake levels rose well above maximum levels are places where the median household incomes are much lower than the Lake Norman community. Duke Energy has said the utility started moving water through its 11 lake system on the Tuesday before Helene hit, but won't release specifics, telling us the flooding at smaller lakes like Lookout Shoals and Mountain Island and downstream was
Starting point is 02:17:51 Unpreventable due to the historic amount of rainfall. In a statement, the utility told us lakes are managed as an integrated system Not for the benefit of a single lake. The utility noted it operated its lakes Lake. The utility noted it operated its lakes including Lake Norman to reduce the impacts of flooding for Lake and River neighbors upstream and downstream prior to, during, and after the storm. Adding Duke Energy is confident its hydro operations team managed this event as effectively as possible to help mitigate flooding impacts for all Lake and river neighbors and the public. Obviously a local report. Sounds like AI.
Starting point is 02:18:29 No, no, it's WNCW, I think. You know, it wouldn't surprise me seeing as when we were in Austin and the snowpocalypse hit, the first thing I did is unplug the east side of I-35 and the former New York banker, they had power, never went out so yeah I think it's possibly true that they they take care of their own over there. Boots on the ground from the climate haven we know the climate haven we had a clip on the last show if you recall though it's a climate haven it's amazing this happened here our producer says in episode 17, you played a clip from MSNBC that referred to the Western North Carolina area as a climate haven.
Starting point is 02:19:10 Credit where credit is due, I believe MSNBC is correct in so far as this is exactly what some people who live there specifically in the Asheville area believe. My father, sister, and brother-in-law live in Asheville. While on vacation with my family this past summer, my brother-in-law, like all insecure liberals, couldn't resist steering the conversation to politics and climate change to seek some validation. Specifically, he talked about how he loved Asheville, not just for its progressive ideals and microbreweries, but for how he felt safe there from the climate. He actually made the statement and quote, everywhere else will be burning,
Starting point is 02:19:47 but Asheville will be one of the last remaining habitable places. Meanwhile, my father recently said to me, he believes without evidence that humanity only has 30 years left to live. He is very sincere and clearly distressed by this knowledge of impending doom. Asheville is not good for mental health people. Oh, thank you, producer. Yeah, I think he's right. Yeah, I agree. Well, then... She-ville, as it were.
Starting point is 02:20:17 As She-ville, yes. So, I have the NOAA prediction from May of 2024, which I'll just read the headline. NOAA predicts, this is from their website, NOAA predicts above normal 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. Well, this was not an Atlantic hurricane and so far it's been quite low. Boots on the ground from our producer, from a home insurance product manager privy to some pretty solid data over the years as you can imagine. Do we have the best producers in the universe or what? Storms are not causing more damage denominated in dollars when you adjust for inflation and home values. You played the report last show admitting storms are not more frequent.
Starting point is 02:21:05 The total damage in dollars is also not rising and it suggests pretty strongly they're also not getting more deadly or intense. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 remains the highest dollar cost hurricane for inflation adjusted. However, he says fire damage is increasing in drier climates. Obviously, changes in fire management over time are a factor. So there you go. They're just jacking your rates for no good reason because it's not actually getting more expensive for them adjusted for inflation. Yeah, they're going for the profits. Now that all of this... If you can fool them, take the money.
Starting point is 02:21:46 Take the money and run. All of this, of course, does not change, or why would it? The climate nut jobs in Washington state for jumping on the bandwagon. Oh, oh, we've got to do more. It is difficult to compare a hurricane with a pineapple express, with the exception of the rain and a lot of
Starting point is 02:22:06 it. We're thinking and sending our positive thoughts to our neighbors in the southeast of the country. It was a topic at a meeting of UW climate scientists and state leaders who authored a new Washington climate resilience strategy and point to the record Nooksack flooding of 2021 as an example of how warmer weather has increased rain intensity. Is there a parallel there with what we're talking about in the Northwest and what's happening in the Southeast?
Starting point is 02:22:33 There is. You know, we, the oceans are getting warmer. Same thing happening there. Warmer air holds more water. Dr. Crystal Raymond is a UW researcher who helped craft a national assessment of climate change, noting that Florida has been dramatically impacted. But this state has its own issues, laid out in the strategic report with the decrease in snowpack and the projected rise in sea levels.
Starting point is 02:22:57 It's just a window into the future when that kind of event, all those catastrophic consequences are happening more often, right? State climatologist Guillaume Moshe says Milton's impact in the legislatively mandated resilience plan shows the need for action here, from aid for tribal communities to move out of floodplains to building new infrastructure. There are suggestions to address some of them in the next legislative session. I think we do have an opportunity to steer out of the way and to reduce those impacts. The events in Florida, a reminder that Washington
Starting point is 02:23:30 has its own set of climate concerns just around the bend. Oh, brother. Climate, more money, more money, more money. Meanwhile, the Sahara Desert, old lakes and rivers are coming back to life. You seen those pictures? No. Oh, it's outrageous.
Starting point is 02:23:51 It already sounds like AI. No, no, no, no. This is real here. The Sahara, the world's largest hot desert, has been hit by heavy rainfall, turning the sand dunes into a scene of blue lagoons and nourishing some of its most drought-stricken regions. A river that has been dry for decades have come back to life after the rainfall. There's even a lake that has been dry for 50 years, named Lake Uriki, between the Zagora and Tata regions.
Starting point is 02:24:22 So the old desert lakes will come back to life. Yes. So did you know that there were desert lakes? I know now. Yeah. So there was 50 years, if there were 50 years ago, what was causing that? Climate change? I don't know. You know, stinky cars, horrible cars. And in the Mediterranean, I pulled this clip only for the very last end. This is a guy who's checking out the underwater vegetation in the Mediterranean. Gerwin Gretschel gets ready for his next dive. He's explored the waters in Croatia's Valselina Bay many times already. The Austrian marine biologist first started diving here 35 years ago.
Starting point is 02:25:12 I can say with certainty that the first 20 or maybe 25 years since I first came here, there were hardly any changes. But the last 6 to 10 years, there has been an incredible amount of change. Now there are changes almost every month. Above the water everything's like it's always been. Blue skies, crystal clear water and people relaxing by the sea. But underwater it's clear what Gretchen means. Until a few years ago the bay was home to seagrass meadows, a habitat for hundreds of underwater species. They're known as the lungs of the sea and key to maintaining the ecological balance.
Starting point is 02:25:52 Today, Valsalina Bay is an underwater desert. No vegetation, no seagrass meadows. The marine habitat has vanished in just a few years with dramatic consequences. Biodiversity loss means we humans are in danger of suffocating in our own filth because nature is no longer able to regenerate what we have polluted. We're in danger of suffocating in our own filth. You filthy nasty people eating meat whatever you're doing. You know, the latest thing in trying to stop the impact of cattle is feeding them red seaweed.
Starting point is 02:26:37 To reduce the poisonous stuff. Was it poisonous? Well, I mean, the red tide is this allergy. Yeah, it's here. I don't know red seaweed. I don't know what red seaweed is. One solution to this turf problem could come from the surf. The seaweed is somewhat of the holy grail of climate change in terms of solutions from the ocean.
Starting point is 02:27:00 Dr. Jen Smith is researching how this species of seaweed called asparagopsis taxiformis can stop all that burping. Once it is fed to the livestock, it simply prevents methane from ever being formed and therefore the cows don't burp that methane out of their mouth. One study found that adding just a tiny amount of this red seaweed to a cow's diet reduced its methane emissions between 40 and 98 percent. Now Dr. Smith is partnering with an Australian company to scale up production. The goal is not totally produce it. We know how to do that, but only do it more efficiently. Steve Miller's company CH4 Global makes a
Starting point is 02:27:38 red seaweed based feed additive called Methane Tamer. It's already being fed to cattle in Australia with plans to grow it worldwide. The goal is to perfect the process of growing asparagus in outdoor grow ponds that can be built anywhere with access to ocean water. We need people to choice to say do I eat that plant-based approach or do I eat that meat-based approach that is now dramatically lowered its carbon footprint. Miller expects to see low methane beef in US supermarkets by the beginning of next year. That doesn't sound like the beef is going to be very tasty. Low methane beef probably tastes like fish.
Starting point is 02:28:20 Can you imagine? Never fry up some beef in a cast iron skillet that you cooked fish in? Oh, no. That's a no-no. You end up with a very, the flavor is just not ruined with something you want. It's ruined. Ruined. Ruined. Ruined.
Starting point is 02:28:40 That can be fixed. How about playing this then? We're going to talk about beef. Let's talk about bird flu. Oh, we're back. Avian influenza was first detected in California's dairy cattle a little more than a month ago and now it's been confirmed in more than 80 of the state's dairy herds and in three dairy workers. Kerry Klein from member station KVPR has more. Dairy workers are being equipped with more PPE
Starting point is 02:29:00 like face shields and disposable booties., farms are also restricting people and vehicles on site. Tricia Stever-Blattler is with the Farm Bureau in Tulare County, the country's largest milk producer. She says the costs of these precautions are trickling down beyond farms. She cites a cattle hauler whose job is to transport the livestock from place to place. Tricia Stever-Blattler, Farmer, Tulare County He's currently seeing two-thirds less income for his employees, the drivers,
Starting point is 02:29:26 and yet he still has all that overhead and payroll that he's trying to meet. Another hit to California's dairy industry, even those cattle that fully recover from the virus may produce less milk. Can't win. No, this is all so stupid. They're just filling airtime at this point. There was an interesting twist to the TikTok saga, which is ongoing. Which saga are we discussing? Well, of course, we still have, they have a deadline coming up, I think. January. Yeah. they have a deadline coming up, I think, when they have to sell to an American entity.
Starting point is 02:30:09 At the same time, 14 attorney generals in 14 different states are suing them over harming children. And now some documents were not properly redacted and CBS got ahold of them. TikTok executives knew how damaging their app was were not properly redacted and CBS got a hold of them. TikTok executives knew how damaging their app was to young users. According to legal documents,
Starting point is 02:30:31 we were never supposed to see. CBS's JoLynn Kent reports tonight on these secret internal communications. Just days after multiple states sued TikTok for allegedly designing the app to addict children. New details have emerged about how they say the company does it. In this lawsuit filed by the state of Kentucky, sections of the complaint were not properly redacted as first reported by Kentucky Public Radio and NPR.
Starting point is 02:30:59 Kentucky's lawsuit claims a TikTok knows all it takes to hook an average user is viewing 260 videos as short as eight seconds. Thus in under 35 minutes. What was that number? Listen again. The key's lawsuit claims a TikTok knows all it takes to hook an average user is viewing 260 videos as short as eight seconds.
Starting point is 02:31:23 Thus in under 35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the platform. How about that? Wait a minute. Very few 8 seconds. Well, that calculation was based on all videos being 8 seconds. No, no, no, no. No, to get to 35 minutes at 260, that's 8 seconds. Yes, but I think people typically look at a video
Starting point is 02:31:44 and after 8 seconds, they swipe up to the next one. I, that's 8 seconds. Yes, but I think people typically look at a video and after 8 seconds they swipe up to the next one. I think that's what they're talking about. I don't think so. They didn't say that. You just made it up. No, I'm interpreting the CBS News report. I'm not making anything up.
Starting point is 02:32:01 And a feature designed to encourage teens to take a break after 60 minutes on the app, quote, does not actually impose a screen time limit. Instead, its goal, improving public trust via media coverage. TikTok allegedly knew its time management tools reduced usage by only 90 seconds. Here's the thing, I don't believe
Starting point is 02:32:22 that they're hooking teenagers. I think they're hooking full blown adults. Because that's all I see. Well, OK. I watch TikTok videos. Yeah, but not on an app. I'll watch 10 of them maybe. You don't use the app.
Starting point is 02:32:36 No, of course I don't. But I want that. I don't. Hold on a second. Big difference. What would I use the app on? No, I know. Yes, we know.
Starting point is 02:32:44 You're the best. John C. Dvorak. I have no phone. I'm not the best. I'm just saying I'm a reasonable person. I've seen the light. I know where the phones belong. Yes. But what I'm saying is this is the app that is designed to keep you engaged. And if you don't swipe up, it swipes up automatically. None of this happens on the website. So you are not going to become addicted.
Starting point is 02:33:15 Although... Watching 260 videos, that's a lot. I don't think I've watched totally, and we've been doing the show and I've been using TikTok videos now for a couple of years. I still don't think I've gotten to 260. No, but you're not the target market. They're not trying to addict you. They're trying to addict everybody. That guy's hopeless. No, you're on a web browser. You're no good. You're no good is a follow-up. It's really frustrating to know that TikTok had information internally from their
Starting point is 02:33:49 own research that suggested that their app was causing harm in particular ways and that they chose not to act on that information. The Kentucky complaint has since been re-sealed. Wait a minute. They chose not to. Let's back up to the early days of the internet and these news organizations that I, because I wrote for a number of them and you write for these guys and you say, well, I'm doing an article that this would be, I could name names, but it's just all of them were this way.
Starting point is 02:34:21 All of them. You'd write something and say, where's this, you put a link in there cause you're trying to explain something and you know, boom, you put a link. No, you can't, you can't do that. You can't link out of the site because if people link out of the site and they're not going to come back, which is no, factually incorrect. It's factually incorrect, but that's what everyone thought. And so you couldn't link out. Forbes magazine was one of them.
Starting point is 02:34:46 And you couldn't, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no the site, every news organization, and TikTok wanting to keep you on the site.
Starting point is 02:35:08 Tell me exactly what the difference is. I have no words. I just asked. Yes. No, it's no different. It's no different. But apps are totally intended to keep you in the app continuously. That's. Again. Well, the difference is the app is doing a lot more than a website.
Starting point is 02:35:34 The website has a cookie, but the app knows if you're walking, if you're laying down, it may be listening. I mean, all the EULA stuff that you've approved. Yes. Using your contact list and EULA stuff that you approved. Yes. Using your contact list and opening the camera. Yes, exactly. The Kentucky complaint has since been resealed
Starting point is 02:35:52 and the attorney general declined our request for an interview. In a statement, TikTok called NPR highly irresponsible for publishing misinformation, adding the lawsuit cherry picks misleading quotes and takes outdated documents out of context to misrepresent our commitment to community safety. The Kentucky lawsuit also alleges TikTok's own research
Starting point is 02:36:16 found that compulsive usage correlates with a slew of negative mental health effects like loss of analytical skills, memory formation, contextual thinking, conversational depth, empathy, and increased anxiety. I believe that. Well, you have to go empirically. Yes. It seems to be, something's causing what you, what that description was that those symptoms are
Starting point is 02:36:40 caused by something. Let's listen to that list again. The Kentucky lawsuit also alleges TikTok's own research found that compulsive usage correlates with a slew of negative mental health effects, like loss of analytical skills, memory formation, contextual thinking, conversational depth, empathy, and increased anxiety. Let's put this to the test with a man on the street piece that France 24 did. And this is really interesting. They couldn't find bigger idiots than these people. They did a report over the influence of AI and deep fakes, how it looms large over the US presidential race.
Starting point is 02:37:25 So they play, you know, the Mr. Reagan, he does a lot of these parody ads and stuff. Yeah, he's got somebody working in his organization that's putting together a lot of AI stuff. And he even puts on them parody. I mean, I've seen it run down. It says parody. I mean, I've seen the rundown. It says parody. So they take one of these, don't tell people it's parody, and they go out to Washington DC and show this to people. And these are people, tourists in DC who are kind of mulling around outside the White House.
Starting point is 02:37:59 Listen to this. This campaign ad posted by Elon Musk has over 136 million views. But it's actually a fake made with artificial intelligence. So if you criticize anything I say, you're both sexist and racist. Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your total incompetence. It perfectly captures Kamala Harris's voice and likeness. But Musk failed to clarify that the video was fake when he shared it on his social media platform X.
Starting point is 02:38:32 He simply says, this is amazing. The YouTuber Mr. Reagan created the video and posted it on his channel. The fervent Trump supporter claims the videos are parodies and are not meant to be taken seriously. At the end of the day, everybody who's complaining that this is indistinguishable from real life and people are going to be tricked, either have, either are very low IQ themselves or are watching too much TikTok. Have very little faith in people to be a little bit skeptical. But is it so easy to determine that the videos are fake? Now listen carefully to the three subjects they've chosen for this report. We asked Americans if they could tell the difference.
Starting point is 02:39:20 What do you think? She sure knew a lot of information about being someone being senile and didn't come forward. Are you going to say it straight away? This is a fake video? Are you able to spot it right away? I'm not. And it might be my age. Somebody used her voice and made that. What about you? Yeah, I think it's all fake. I don't know what they're trying to. Are they advertised? It's just I can't really tell whether this news clip or video clip is for them or against them.
Starting point is 02:39:51 The video clearly causes confusion. What? And it's not the only AI content duping social media users. So they get an old lady who says, I'm not too sure. Maybe it's my age. They get two people who say it's fake. And then some whack job gay guy who's like, and then she says, clearly it confuses everybody. This is bull crap.
Starting point is 02:40:18 It's total, what horse crap this is. Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised you played it because it doesn't back up your basic thesis. Well, to complete the segment, thank you, Producer Anonymous. Hi, Adam. Just for your personal enjoyment, I spend some of my free time on Outlier AI. It's a platform that pays humans to train AI. I found I received the best feedback from my human reviewers on my training of the AI when I used Gemini AI to assist my training.
Starting point is 02:40:55 Entropy at its finest. I love that. It's definitely headed in that direction. It is. It can't happen fast enough. I'm very excited. It won't happen as fast as you hope. No, it's definitely headed in that direction. It is, it is. It can't happen fast enough. I'm very excited. It won't happen as fast as you hope. No, I know, but a girl can dream.
Starting point is 02:41:11 So, at least this will, can I do one international news story so we can get it out of the way? You can do whatever you want. You can do as much as you want. Let's do Israel versus Macron. I just think this has been going on for a while. We haven't played these clips. Yeah, you're right. Powerful new explosions rocked Beirut's southern suburbs tonight as Israel expands its bombardment of the Hezbollah and Hamas militant groups in Lebanon. Earlier, Israel struck a Palestinian refugee camp in the north for the first time, killing
Starting point is 02:41:37 a Hamas commander. Thousands of people in Lebanon continue to flee the widening conflict in the region. Palestinians along a key corridor there are facing new Israeli evacuation orders as airstrikes continue. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for a halt to arms deliveries to Israel for its war in Gaza. In Pierce, Eleanor Beardsley reports, Macron says Lebanon can't become a new Gaza. In an interview on French radio, Macron said a political solution is the only way to bring peace.
Starting point is 02:42:11 Macron's appeal comes as Israel intensifies its invasion of Lebanon as it tries to weaken Hezbollah. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly responded, bristling at Macron's comments. Today, Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies of civilization. Yeah. Well, what caught my attention on that one was what Netanyahu said. Seven fronts. And I'll ask you, what are the seven fronts?
Starting point is 02:42:44 Let me see. We have Gaza. We have Syria. We have who? Well, wait, wait, that's not a front. The Golan Heights. I think that that's Lebanon. No, no, Lebanon. Okay, well, let's go out.
Starting point is 02:43:03 I just put up say, okay, you give me, you give me. I'm giving you the two. Okay, Lebanon. No, no, Lebanon. Okay, well, let's go. I'll just say, okay. You give me, you give me. That's two. I'm giving you two. Okay. Lebanon. Three. Oh, the Houthis. Four.
Starting point is 02:43:14 Four. It's not a front, but you're going to have to give them Iran because they are shooting the rockets. Five. Five. Canada. Canada is six. Yeah. Find me two more. Brazil. Let me think. What's he saying when he says seven fronts? This is bull crap. What's he saying when he says seven fronts? This is bull crap. Does Yemen count? No, that's the Houthis. The Houthis. West Bank? No, not really.
Starting point is 02:43:51 Jordan? Jordan's peaceful. Of course not. They're buddies. Egypt's the same way. Kiev? Ukraine? I'm out. I'm out. I don't know. I gave you two extra ones. Come know. That's a very good question. I do not know. Maybe because America controls Israel, maybe he's just talking like an American. It's the Kamala. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:44:16 And Biden, that'd be the seven. Boom. Kamala and Biden. There's your other fronts. Okay, part two of that clip. Kamala and Biden. There's your other fronts. Okay, part two of that clip. He included the occupied West Bank captured by Israel in 1967 as one of those fronts. Netanyahu said all civilized countries should be standing with Israel.
Starting point is 02:44:39 His message to Macron, shame on you. It's getting a little hard when you hear this particular construction or deconstruction of the Israeli plan about Gaza. Let's bring in Aaron Bregman, the senior teaching fellow at the Department of War Studies at King's College, London. Great to have you on the program this evening. Good to talk to you, Aaron. First of all, I know you were a former IDF soldier as well. I think you served, am I right to say, back in 1982 in the Lebanon conflict. So your context and analysis, very important this evening. Just give me your understanding of what's going on in the north of Gaza right now. What the Israelis are trying to do in the northern part of the Gaza Strip is to empty it, basically, to send the citizens who are there, we are talking about 350,000 to 400,000, to the south. It is a straightforward ethnic cleansing. The aim, say the Israelis,
Starting point is 02:45:38 is to separate between the good guys and the 5,000 bad guys, the Hamas combatants or terrorists. And so, so this is what they are doing, trying to push the, uh, uh, uh, uh, citizens of Jabalia and all this area to the South in order to fight against, um, the people of Hamas who are still there. Yeah. to fight against the people of Hamas. Yeah, so send all the civilians down south, 350,000, and then bomb the 5,000 guys. They got to be terrorists. They got to be the bad guys. Someone sent me a new interview with Michael Hudson.
Starting point is 02:46:18 We played the clips of him before. I don't remember. Yeah, he's the economist and he was in the war college and did a lot of consulting for Brzezinski and all those guys back in the day. And he has this, I'm going to clip it for Thursday, he has a very interesting analysis of how the US since we can't really, you can't reinstitute a draft in America, you can't get elected if you say, oh, let's have a have a draft no one's gonna elect you as president or any representative. You just have to up the ante for volunteers.
Starting point is 02:46:54 Right you can't use nukes because that's mutually assured destruction but we still have this this neo con maybe neoliberal we need to go after the oil. We want all the resources. It's still the same a-holes who want all the resources. So Israel is perfect because they will fight and they fight ideologically. They're like, we hate these guys, we'll go kill them, and some of us will get killed. And it just comes down to terrorism basically. of us will get killed and it comes just comes down to terrorism basically and that the Israelis are our stooge and we send them everywhere. Our stooge. Yeah I know half of the audience like no man the Jews control everything
Starting point is 02:47:36 look at all the congressmen senators okay yeah yeah yeah it's fine.

Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe. I don't think we've had one birthday on the list for a long, long time. Oh, fantastic. All right. Now time to welcome our brand new Commodores who have supported the show with $500 for their Commodore ranking.

Go to NoAgendaRings.com and give us the information so we can send you this beautiful Commodore certificate. You will not regret it. Before we get to our two nights, I have a make good Matt Sabah, Sabah, Sabah donated $77.70 on Father's Day and never got a shout out. So we're sorry about that, Matt. So we're making good now. I guess it's for your dad. And we have a layaway night, Eric Newman, who says, I've committed the offense of desert
Starting point is 02:51:51 desertion. Though after spending all day in temple atoning for my sins, I seek humble forgiveness. No problem. I'd left in 27 due to media hatred, overload and TDS, Trump derangement syndrome. I was also working in the media industry at the time. Ah, that explains it. Between the craziness both inside and outside their buildings, I had to detach entirely from news and politics for seven years. That is, until the Trump-Biden debate. My no agenda media deconstruction and critical thinking skills allowed me to survive in the interim.
Starting point is 02:52:29 However, after watching the debate, I knew it was time to go back to the podcast where everybody knows my name, Sir Newman, Knight of the Gentrified Brooklyn. And then he says, I can skip as much as I want of this, but apparently he's been living in Brooklyn where he says there's a lot of communists. Okay. He grew up in South Florida. He does say that the millibar was used during which? Hurricanes.
Starting point is 02:52:57 He just says it's used a lot. He says, well, he didn't say a lot, he says, but it has been used. All right. Well, I'm not sure what the next level is, but I would appreciate serving all of Brooklyn and the County of Kings and request a Sativa and psilocybin at the round table. No problem. And let me see. I'd love to give an inflation adjustment.
Starting point is 02:53:22 One more thing, Adam, you might be listening to the tech grouch too much when it comes to AI. Huh? Remember he said that newfangled device called the mouse wouldn't become popular? No, please. That's not what he said. He says, there's no evidence and you're wrong. I protect my friend on this.
Starting point is 02:53:36 Anyway, he says, sorry sending this so late because I tried to get chat GPT to filter my PayPal history, but it kept failing or making numbers up. Uh-huh. So after he gives me crap about my AI stance. So I had to do with the old fashioned way. Yours forever, sir. Eric Newman, Knight slash Baron of Brooklyn. And with that, let's bring up our two Knights for today. Here's a blade for you.
Starting point is 02:54:02 Nice blade. Eric will like that one. So hop on up, Eric, Eric Newman, and Ken for today. Here's a blade for you. Nice blade. Eric will like that one.

Starting point is 02:59:12 Great advice for you and me. Just a tip with JCB and sometimes Adam. Okay, I forgot to load this up, but I have to say, I got a bunch of feedback on the last tip and I want to... I thought people liked it. I thought people liked that tip. I saw people posting on X about it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:59:38 But the problem is with that tip is that there was a... I could have topped it with something that's a little more close to home, which is that apparently Steve Gibson... Oh, he has software. He always has some software. He has a free software that's specifically for this product, for this purpose. Oh, I didn't realize. Yeah. And so I wanted to tip that. And I just got to get the name of it.
Starting point is 03:00:05 And I don't have it on my, I forgot to print it out, but it's a, I think if you go to his website, Steve Gibson, whatever it is, Steve, can anybody help, can anybody help us out real quick in the troll room? What is the name? I can probably find it by just searching. So it does the exact same thing by, by making sure that, uh, your dumb drive is real. GRC.com.
Starting point is 03:00:28 Steve Gibson thought... I hear GRC.com is what's being... Yeah, that would be his website. Yes, okay. So go to... Valid Drive, that's the name of it. Valid Drive. Valley.
Starting point is 03:00:42 Valley. D-A-L-I Drive. Oh, Valley Drive. Valley Drive. The Valid Drive. Valid Drive, Valley. Valley. D-A-L-I Drive. Oh, Valley Drive. Valley Drive. The Valid Drive. Valid Drive, if it's valid. So anyway, so I wanted to do that and, you know, since I've been backing off on some
Starting point is 03:00:53 of these, because this is newer and it doesn't, you know, the other one is kind of, is still floating around, but this would probably be a better way to go. That's your tip. Oh, that's the tip for today? Yeah. All right. No agenda. Tip of the day. Oh, that's the tip for today? Yeah. All right. No agenda tip of the day. It is tipoftheday.net everybody.
